Q:

Image not spreading on the whole face

I am learning UV mapping, trying to map an image on one side of a cube but it does not spread properly on the whole face.. Here is what I get:

I know this can be done simply by applying materials to the specified sides but I want to apply different images in future. Can anyone tell me what is going on? I want to color the central part only, not the boundary.
Thanks

A:

Make sure the limit method on the bevel modifier is set to angle, so that only the edges between faces with very different normals are beveled:

If you have the limit method set to none, the edges on the flat parts of the cube will be beveled (which creates extra geometry without changing the shape), and the UVs are not interpolated correctly:

Lesson: How to Map an Image on a Cube

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to map an image on a cube. We will start by understanding the basics of UV mapping and then move on to creating a cube and mapping an image on it.

UV Mapping:
UV mapping is a process of projecting an image onto a 3D model's surface. The term "UV" refers to the two coordinates (U and V) that represent the texture space. In simple terms, it is like wrapping a 2D image around a 3D object.

Materials:
To map an image on a cube, we need to create a material with the desired texture. We can use any image editor to create the texture, and then export it as a .png or .jpg file.

Creating a Cube:
First, we need to create a cube in our 3D software. We can do this by selecting the "Cube" primitive from the menu.

Mapping the Image:
Once we have the cube ready, we need to assign the material to it. To do this, we need to select the cube and go to the "Material" tab. Here, we can choose the material we created earlier and assign it to the cube.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to map an image on a cube using UV mapping. We started by understanding the basics of UV mapping and then moved on to creating a cube and mapping an image on it. We also learned about materials and how to assign them to our 3D objects. With this knowledge, we can now apply this technique to other 3D models and create stunning visual effects.

Glossary:
- UV Mapping: A process of projecting an image onto a 3D model's surface.
- Material: A set of properties that determine how light interacts with a 3D object.
- Cube: A 3D object with six square faces.
- Primitive: A basic geometric shape that can be used to create more complex 3D objects.
- Texture Space: A 2D plane that represents the surface of a 3D object.

Self-Debate Discussion:
Why is it important to understand UV mapping when working with 3D models?
Answer: UV mapping is essential when working with 3D models because it allows us to add textures and colors to our models, making them look more realistic and visually appealing. It also helps us create stunning visual effects and improve the overall quality of our 3D projects.


text: I dunno sometimes we think too much about stupid things that are kind of purposeless. I do this with TV sometimes. If I’m not in that “immersive mood,” then the suspension of disbelief flies out the window, making sitcoms interesting for a completely different reason.. As a side note, I’m trying to write more comics even if they’re a bit crap. I just need to churn things out and get into a real flow. Hopefully, this will lead to progressively better and more regular work.

**Topic: Critical Thinking and Suspension of Disbelief**

**Introduction:**
Critical thinking is an essential skill that helps us make informed decisions and evaluate information objectively. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of suspension of disbelief and how it relates to critical thinking. We will also learn how to apply these skills to our daily lives.

**Section 1: What is Suspension of Disbelief?**
Suspension of disbelief is the ability to temporarily set aside our skepticism and beliefs to enjoy a story or experience. It allows us to enter into a fictional world and accept its rules and conventions. This concept is crucial in literature, film, and other forms of entertainment.

**Section 2: How does Suspension of Disbelief Relate to Critical Thinking?**
Suspension of disbelief is related to critical thinking because it requires us to question our assumptions and beliefs. When we suspend our disbelief, we are actively engaging with the material and evaluating its credibility. This skill is transferable to other areas of life, such as decision-making and problem-solving.

**Section 3: Practical Examples and Applications**
Let's consider an example. Suppose you are watching a science fiction movie that involves time travel. To enjoy the movie, you must suspend your disbelief and accept the concept of time travel as a possibility. This requires you to temporarily set aside your knowledge of physics and the laws of nature. By doing so, you can fully engage with the story and appreciate its plot twists and turns.

Similarly, in real-life situations, critical thinking involves questioning assumptions and seeking evidence to support or refute them. For instance, when evaluating news articles or political speeches, we must critically analyze the information presented and determine its validity. This requires us to suspend our disbelief and approach the material with an open mind.

**Glossary:**
- **Suspension of disbelief:** The ability to temporarily set aside our skepticism and beliefs to enjoy a story or experience.
- **Critical thinking:** The process of actively and objectively evaluating information to make informed decisions.

**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, suspension of disbelief and critical thinking are interconnected concepts that help us navigate the world around us. By temporarily setting aside our assumptions and beliefs, we can engage with material objectively and make informed decisions. By applying these skills in our daily lives, we can improve our problem-solving abilities and become more effective communicators.

Shi Wei Tian (食唯天) @ Joo Chiat Place

Stepping into the 6 month's old restaurant located at the junction of Joo Chiat Place and Tembeling Road is like walking down memory lanes. The air conditioned restaurant has a nostalgic theme with many 1960-1970s household items such as sewing machines, gammaphones, weighting scale, old pictures and posters displayed around the restaurant.

Shi Wei Tian's story traced back to the owner's (Ryan) vision to recreate his grandma recipes. To ensure the kitchen wok up authentic Malaysian dishes, a Malaysian chef was hired to lead the kitchen.

Claypot KL Bak Kut Teh 4/5

A pipping hot Malaysian style Claypot KL Bak Kut Teh was perfect for the cold and rainy day. The pork ribs came in small chopped pieces with the meat coming off the bone easily. The herbal soup Bak Kut Teh also came with innards and golden mushrooms.

Char Tar Beehoon 4/5

This is my first time having Char Tar Beehoon (Burnt Beehoon) and I didn't know what to expect. Apparently Char Tar Beehoon is a popular dish in Malaysia. The beehoon was soft and tasty but lacked the crispy crust that held the beehoon together.

Signature Tofu 4.5/5

Thumbs up to the Signature Tofu that the Chef makes everyday. The Tofu was very smooth and melted in the mouth. Topped with deep fried golden mushrooms, it gave the dish a contrast texture that was delightful to be eaten alone or together with the Tofu.

Garlic Steamed Prawns 4.2/5

I usually avoid having prawns when I dine outside to avoid dirtying my hands peeling the prawn shells. Not to worry when you have the Garlic Steamed Prawns at Shi Wei Tian. The steamed prawns were split into halves and topped with both fresh and deep fried garlic. The prawns were very fresh and the meat came of the shells with ease.

Imperial Treasure Pot 4/5

The luxurious Imperial Treasure Pot came with abundant of ingredients stewed in claypot. There were prawns, shitake mushroom, fish slices, fish maw, broccoli, sea cucumbers and scallops. It was a great dish full of rich flavours.

Nasi Pattaya 4/5

This dish is not available on the menu and only regulars knew about it. Nasi Pattaya is a simple fried rice dish wrapped with omelette. Isn't the smiling face drawn by tomato sauce cute? The dish may look simple but it takes great effort making the perfect omelette to wrap the fried rice.

Claypot Crab Tanghoon 3.8/5

Unfortunately I did not get to try their specialty, Cereal Paste Crab. I had the Claypot CrabTanghoon instead which was a bit disappointing. Although the crab meat was firm and juicy, the Tanghoon was bland failing to absorb the crab's rich flavours.

Crispy Pork Rib Drumlets 4.2/5

Every week the Chef will create a new dish and the Crispy Pork Rib Drumlets was one of his new creations previous week. The Pork Rib Drumlet is first deep fried to perfection and then braised with in house special sauce to bring out its full flavours. The 2 cooking methods gave the pork rib an unique texture which tantalize the taste buds.

3 Treasure Sea Cucumber Wrap 4.2/5

This week the Chef created the 3 Treasure Sea Cucumber Wrap. The whole sea cucumber is stuffed with generous serving of succulent mushrooms, fresh sliced pork and nutritious carrot steamed with in house special sauce to create this gem. This exclusive creation melted in the mouth and burst with flavours.

Ice Ball 4/5

Chendol 4.5/5

Ice Kachang 4.2/5

For dessert, there were the all time local favourites such as Chendol and Ice Kachang. For some childhood memories, there is the traditional Ice Ball. My favourite was the Chendol. Its appearance was also rather unique with generous amount of gula melaka and coconut milk.

Shi Wei Tian has converted their alfresco area to a bar. With the new bar, the restaurant will be screening football channels as well as bringing back the popular Lok Lok. The restaurant also offers late night steamboat buffet from 10pm to midnight for supper seekers.

## Lesson: Understanding Economic Indicators

### Introduction

Economic indicators are measurements that help us understand how well or poorly the economy is performing. They can be used to predict future trends, identify areas of strength or weakness, and make informed decisions about investments, spending, and savings. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of economic indicators and learn how to interpret them.

### Core Value

The core value of this lesson is to teach students how to use economic indicators to make informed decisions and predictions about the economy.

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Economic indicators can be classified into two main categories: leading indicators and lagging indicators. Leading indicators are those that tend to change before the overall economy does, while lagging indicators are those that change after the overall economy has already changed. Examples of leading indicators include consumer confidence surveys, stock prices, and building permits, while examples of lagging indicators include unemployment rates, GDP growth, and industrial production.

### Section 2: Questions and Answers

**Question:** Why are economic indicators important?
**Answer:** Economic indicators are important because they provide valuable information about the health of the economy. They can help investors make informed decisions about where to invest their money, businesses make informed decisions about when to expand or cut back on production, and individuals make informed decisions about when to spend and when to save.

**Question:** What are some examples of leading economic indicators?
**Answer:** Some examples of leading economic indicators include consumer confidence surveys, stock prices, and building permits.

**Question:** What are some examples of lagging economic indicators?
**Answer:** Some examples of lagging economic indicators include unemployment rates, GDP growth, and industrial production.

### Section 3: Definitions and Practical Examples

**Definition:** A leading economic indicator is a measure that tends to change before the overall economy does. It is often used to predict future economic trends.

**Example:** One example of a leading economic indicator is the Consumer Confidence Survey. This survey measures how optimistic or pessimistic consumers are about the future of the economy. If consumers are feeling more optimistic, it may indicate that the economy is likely to improve in the near future.

**Definition:** A lagging economic indicator is a measure that changes after the overall economy has already changed. It is often used to confirm that a recession has already started or ended.

**Example:** One example of a lagging economic indicator is the Unemployment Rate. This measure shows how many people are out of work and looking for jobs. If the unemployment rate is high, it may indicate that the economy is in a recession.

### Section 4: Real-World Scenarios

Let's say you are an investor who wants to make informed decisions about where to invest your money. You could look at leading economic indicators like the Consumer Confidence Survey and the Stock Market Index to get an idea of how well the economy is doing. If these indicators show that the economy is improving, you might decide to invest in stocks or real estate. On the other hand, if these indicators show that the economy is slowing down, you might decide to invest in bonds or other safer investments.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, understanding economic indicators is an important skill for anyone who wants to make informed decisions about the economy. By learning how to interpret leading and lagging indicators, you can gain valuable insights into the health of the economy and make better decisions about investments, spending, and savings.

[Systemic lupus erythematosus in children in Israel].
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare disease in children that might possibly be modulated by genetic and environmental factors. In order to delineate the characteristic features of SLE among Israeli children, we reviewed the medical records of 38 cases from 8 pediatric rheumatology clinics. All fulfilled the 1982 American Rheumatism Association revised criteria for SLE. The illness became apparent at the age of 16 years or younger and the mean age of onset was 11.9 +/- 2.4 y (range 7-16) and the mean duration of follow-up 4.0 +/- 4.8 y (range 0.5-15). The female to male ratio was 2.8:1; 28 were Jewish and 10 Arabs. Systemic complaints, such as fever, malaise and weight loss, were noted in 90%, malar rash in 65%, and other skin manifestations in 40%. Arthritis was noted in 57% and additional musculoskeletal complaints in 70%; 90% had hematological abnormalities. Major organ system involvement included: renal disease in 50% pulmonary involvement 28% and CNS involvement 28%. 2 patients are currently on renal dialysis and 1 died from hypertensive crisis. We conclude that the features of SLE in children in Israel are not influenced by ethnic or geographic factors, and are similar to those reported worldwide.

## Lesson: Understanding Sanitary Sewer Overflows

### Introduction
Sanitary sewer overflows are a major environmental issue that affects many cities around the world. In this lesson, we will learn about what sanitary sewer overflows are, why they happen, and what can be done to prevent them.

### Section 1: What are Sanitary Sewer Overflows?
Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from homes, businesses, and other facilities to a treatment plant. When too much water enters the system at once, or when there is a blockage in the pipe, some of the wastewater can be discharged into the environment instead of being treated. This is called a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO).

### Section 2: Why do Sanitary Sewer Overflows happen?
There are several reasons why sanitary sewer overflows may occur. These include:

1. Heavy rainfall: When there is a lot of rain, the amount of water entering the sewer system can exceed its capacity, causing a backup and an overflow.

2. Blockages: Tree roots, grease, and other debris can clog up the pipes and cause a blockage, leading to an overflow.

3. Broken pipes: Cracks or breaks in the sewer pipes can cause wastewater to leak out into the environment.

4. Excessive use of water: Using too much water at once, such as during a heavy rainstorm or after a snowmelt, can overwhelm the sewer system and cause an overflow.

### Section 3: How can we prevent Sanitary Sewer Overflows?
There are several ways to prevent sanitary sewer overflows, including:

1. Proper maintenance of the sewer system: Regular cleaning and inspection of the pipes can help prevent blockages and other issues that can lead to an overflow.

2. Reducing excessive use of water: Limiting the amount of water that enters the sewer system can help prevent overflows. This can be done by fixing leaks, using less water during peak rainfall periods, and avoiding activities that generate large amounts of wastewater, such as washing cars or watering lawns.

3. Implementing green infrastructure: Green infrastructure, such as rain gardens, permeable pavement, and rain barrels, can help absorb excess water and reduce the amount that enters the sewer system.

4. Upgrading sewer infrastructure: Replacing old, cracked pipes and improving drainage systems can help prevent overflows.

### Section 4: Conclusion
Understanding sanitary sewer overflows is important for protecting our environment and public health. By learning about the causes and prevention methods, we can take steps to reduce the occurrence of these events.

# Lesson: Introduction to Programming with Java

## Section 1: What is Programming?
Programming is the process of writing instructions for a computer to follow. These instructions are written in a programming language, which is a set of rules that the computer can understand.

## Section 2: Why Learn Java?
Java is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. It is used for developing mobile apps, web applications, and software programs. Java is also easy to learn and has many resources available online for beginners.

## Section 3: Getting Started with Java
To get started with Java, you will need to install a Java development kit (JDK) on your computer. Once you have installed the JDK, you can create a new Java project in your preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

## Section 4: Writing Your First Java Program
Here is an example of a simple Java program that prints "Hello, World!" to the console:

```java
public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}
```

## Section 5: Understanding Java Syntax
Java programs are written in a syntax that is similar to English. Here are some basic rules for writing Java code:

- Statements end with a semicolon (;).
- Curly braces {} are used to group related statements.
- Parentheses () are used to group expressions.
- Indentation is used to show code structure.

## Section 6: Variables and Data Types
In Java, variables are used to store values. There are several data types that you can use to declare variables, such as int, float, and String. Here is an example of declaring and using variables in Java:

```java
int num1 = 5;
float num2 = 3.14;
String name = "John";
```

## Section 7: Control Structures
Control structures allow you to control the flow of your program. There are three main control structures in Java: if-else statements, while loops, and for loops. Here are some examples:

```java
// if-else statement
int age = 18;
if (age > 18) {
    System.out.println("You are an adult.");
} else {
    System.out.println("You are not an adult.");
}

// while loop
int i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
    System.out.println(i);
    i++;
}

// for loop
String[] names = {"Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"};
for (String name : names) {
    System.out.println(name);
}
```

## Section 8: Classes and Objects
Classes and objects are used to organize code and data. A class is a blueprint for creating objects. An object is an instance of a class that contains data and methods. Here is an example of creating a class and an object:

```java
public class Person {
    private String name;
    private int age;

    public Person(String name, int age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }

    public void introduce() {
        System.out.printf("%s is %d years old.", name, age);
    }
}

Person alice = new Person("Alice", 25);
alice.introduce(); // Output: Alice is 25 years old.
```

## Section 9: Method Overloading and Inheritance
Method overloading allows you to have multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. Inheritance allows you to create new classes based on existing ones. Here are some examples:

```java
public class Animal {
    public void eat() {
        System.out.println("The animal is eating.");
    }
}

public class Dog extends Animal {
    public void bark() {
        System.out.println("The dog is barking.");
    }
}

public class Cat extends Animal {
    public void meow() {
        System.out.println("The cat is meowing.");
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Animal animal = new Animal();
        animal.eat();

        Dog dog = new Dog();
        dog.bark();
        dog.eat();

        Cat cat = new Cat();
        cat.meow();
        cat.eat();
    }
}
```

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we covered the basics of programming with Java, including variables, control structures, classes and objects, method overloading, and inheritance. We also provided examples of how to use these concepts to write simple Java programs. As you continue to learn programming with Java, you will find that these concepts become second nature and that you can create more complex programs with ease.

Lesson: How to Make a Delicious Milk Stout
Introduction:
In this self-taught lesson, we will learn how to make a delicious milk stout. A milk stout is a type of stout that has been brewed with lactose, which is a sugar derived from milk. This gives the beer a creamy texture and sweet flavor. We will cover the basics of brewing, including ingredients, equipment, and techniques. We will also explore the history of milk stouts and their unique characteristics.
Ingredients:
- 10 pounds of pale malt
- 2 pounds of roasted barley
- 1 pound of brown sugar
- 1 pound of lactose
- 1 ounce of English challenger hops
- 1 ounce of English east kent goldings hops
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of coffee
- 1/2 pound of pasilla peppers
Equipment:
- Brew kettle
- Brew pot
- Mash tun
- Bottling bucket
- Fermentation chamber
- Hydrometer
- Siphon hose
- Airlock
- Beer bottles
Techniques:
1. Start by cleaning all of your equipment thoroughly. You want to make sure that there are no contaminants in your brewing process.
2. Mash the grains in your mash tun. You will need to heat the water to a specific temperature, usually around 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Once the water reaches the correct temperature, add the grains to the mash tun and stir them around for a few minutes.
4. After the grains have been mashed, you will need to sparge the grains to get the maximum amount of sugar out of them.
5. Once you have collected all of the sugar from the grains, you can boil the wort in your brew kettle.
6. Add the hops to the wort at the appropriate time in the boil.
7. After the boil is over, you can cool the wort down in your brew pot.
8. Once the wort has cooled down, you can transfer it to your fermentation chamber.
9. Add the yeast to the fermentation chamber and let it ferment for a few days.
10. Once the beer has fermented, you can bottle it using your bottling bucket.
History:
Milk stouts were first brewed in England in the early 1900s. They were originally designed to be a nutritious drink for children. The lactose in the milk stout provides a source of energy for the yeast during fermentation, which results in a sweet and creamy flavor.
Characteristics:
- Milk stouts are typically dark in color, ranging from brown to black.
- They have a creamy texture due to the lactose.
- They have a sweet flavor from the brown sugar and lactose.
- They have a slight bitterness from the hops.
- They have a unique aroma from the pasilla peppers.
Conclusion:
Making a milk stout is a fun and rewarding experience. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a delicious and unique beer that is sure to impress your friends and family. Remember to always practice good hygiene and safety when brewing to ensure that your beer turns out perfect every time.

A case of giant leiomyosarcoma of the rectum.
A 63 year-old-man was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of dyschezia. Digital examination revealed a large solid mass on the posterior wall of the rectum. Endoscopically, the tumor was covered by an intact mucosal layer. Under the diagnosis of rectal leiomyosarcoma, abdominoperineal resection of the rectum was performed. The tumor was 10 x 9 x 8 cm in size, and its cross section showed a gray-white tumor with central necrosis. Microscopically, the large tumor of the rectum was mainly located in the proper muscle layer and adventitia, and showed cellular proliferation of spindle-shaped and mild pleomorphic stromal cells, arranged in interlacing fashion, and focal necrosis. The histologic findings support the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma of the rectum is a relatively uncommon disease. We report our case with reference to the literature.

Lesson: Introduction to Pathology

Pathology is the study of diseases and their causes, mechanisms, and development. It involves examining samples of body tissue, fluids, or organs to understand the nature of diseases. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of pathology, including the types of diseases, their causes, and how they are diagnosed and treated.

**Section 1: Types of Diseases**

There are four main types of diseases: infectious, genetic, metabolic, and environmental.

1. Infectious diseases are caused by germs such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that enter the body and multiply. Examples include the common cold, measles, and AIDS.

2. Genetic diseases are caused by changes or mutations in our DNA that are passed down from our parents. Examples include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington's disease.

3. Metabolic diseases occur when the body's chemical processes are disrupted, leading to problems with digestion, absorption, or storage of nutrients. Examples include diabetes and phenylketonuria.

4. Environmental diseases are caused by external factors such as pollution, radiation, or toxic substances. Examples include lung cancer and lead poisoning.

**Section 2: Causes of Diseases**

Diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

1. Genetic mutations: As mentioned earlier, changes or mutations in our DNA can lead to diseases.

2. Environmental factors: Exposure to pollutants, toxins, or radiation can cause diseases.

3. Lifestyle choices: Smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating an unhealthy diet can increase the risk of developing certain diseases.

4. Infections: Coming into contact with germs such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites can lead to infectious diseases.

**Section 3: Diagnosing and Treating Diseases**

To diagnose a disease, doctors use various methods, including:

1. Physical examination: Doctors examine patients for signs of disease, such as rashes, lumps, or swelling.

2. Medical history: Doctors ask patients about their symptoms, family history, and lifestyle habits to determine potential causes of their condition.

3. Laboratory tests: Blood, urine, or tissue samples are tested in a laboratory to identify the presence of disease-causing agents or substances.

4. Imaging studies: X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans can be used to visualize internal organs and detect abnormalities.

Once a disease has been diagnosed, treatment options depend on the type and severity of the disease. Some common treatments include:

1. Medication: Drugs can be used to treat infections, control symptoms, or target specific causes of the disease.

2. Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove damaged tissue or organs.

3. Radiation therapy: High-energy rays are used to kill or damage cancer cells.

4. Lifestyle changes: Quitting smoking, exercising regularly, or changing one's diet can help prevent or manage certain diseases.

**Glossary**

- Pathology: The study of diseases and their causes, mechanisms, and development.
- Germs: Microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that can cause infectious diseases.
- Genetic mutations: Changes or alterations in our DNA that can lead to genetic diseases.
- Environmental factors: External elements such as pollutants, toxins, or radiation that can cause diseases.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Real Estate Investment

#### Section 1: What is Real Estate Investment?
Real estate investment refers to the purchase of land, buildings, or housing units with the intention of generating income or capital gains. It is a popular form of investment because it provides tangible assets that can be rented out, sold, or developed for profit.

#### Section 2: Types of Real Estate Investments
There are several types of real estate investments, including residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties. Each type has its unique features, risks, and rewards.

Residential properties include single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and multi-family dwellings. These properties are typically rented out to tenants who pay monthly rent.

Commercial properties include office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and other types of business premises. These properties are usually leased to businesses for a fixed period, and the landlord earns rental income.

Industrial properties include factories, warehouses, and other types of manufacturing facilities. These properties are typically leased to companies that use them for production or storage purposes.

Agricultural properties include farms, ranches, and other types of agricultural land. These properties are used for farming, ranching, or other agricultural activities.

#### Section 3: Benefits of Real Estate Investment
Real estate investment offers several benefits, including steady income, appreciation potential, tax advantages, and diversification opportunities.

Steady income is generated through rental income from tenants or lease payments from businesses.

Appreciation potential refers to the possibility of increasing the value of the property over time due to market conditions or improvements made to the property.

Tax advantages include deductions for mortgage interest, property taxes, and other expenses related to the property.

Diversification opportunities allow investors to spread their risk across different types of real estate investments, reducing their overall portfolio risk.

#### Section 4: Risks of Real Estate Investment
Real estate investment also comes with certain risks, including market fluctuations, vacancies, and maintenance costs.

Market fluctuations refer to changes in the real estate market that can affect property values. For example, a downturn in the economy may cause property values to decrease.

Vacancies occur when a rental property remains unoccupied for a period of time, resulting in lost rental income.

Maintenance costs include repairs, maintenance, and upkeep of the property. These costs can be significant and can eat into the investor's profits.

#### Section 5: Conclusion
Real estate investment can be a lucrative and rewarding venture for those who are willing to do their research and take calculated risks. By understanding the different types of real estate investments, the benefits and risks involved, and the potential for profit, investors can make informed decisions about where to invest their money. With the right strategy and approach, real estate investment can provide a stable source of income and long-term financial security.

Opinion divided on Southport homes plan

PLANS to build 168 homes on the site of a former Virginia Street sweet factory will be ruled on by councillors tonight.

If proposals by Bellway Homes get the go-ahead, the empty Chewits (Leaf UK) factory will be torn down and replaced by a development including 106 apartments, 62 family homes and commercial space.

A green light to the scheme could also lead to a range of changes to the surrounding environment, including measures to keep passing traffic to 20mph and the renovation of Victoria footbridge.

Ward councillors have signalled their support for Bellway’s scheme, citing a much-needed boost for affordable housing.

But opinions among existing nearby residents appear mixed.

The announcement in early summer of initial plans for the four-acre plot saw a host of concerns voiced by residents, including fears of heavily increased traffic congestion.

A report to go before Sefton’s planning committee lists ways in which Bellway has adjusted its original plans after a round of community consultation.

To counter accusations the development will cause traffic chaos, there will now only be one main access point for cars, on the first bend on the approach from Scarisbrick New Road.

There has also been an increase in the overall number of off-street parking spaces to 171.

The report to councillors cites traffic surveys in support of the view the area’s roads network will be able to cope with the increased burden, but it states that Virginia Street (between Scarisbrick New Road and Ash Street), Hodson Street and Mill Street will all need to see traffic calming measures.

Mark Richardson, who lives in Virginia Street with his wife Mary, said: “I am concerned about the aesthetics.

“We are looking at very modern town houses in what is very much a Victorian street.”

Mr Richardson, a 38-year-old area manager for a pub chain, said he was already concerned about speeding in Virginia Street.

Yet he added: “I would love to see the site developed into housing.”

Four nearby residents have written to the council opposing the plans.

Carl Brown, a 27-year-old IT worker who lives in Hargreaves Street, said: “I would like to see it rejected but I do not think it will happen.

“The main reason is still the amount of properties on-site.”

Cllr Mike Booth, a Kew ward representative, stressed that concessions to the concerns of residents had followed Bellway’s initial consultation.

“If there are any further concerns about the plans they will be picked up at the planning meeting,” he added.

“The development will help to provide homes for families that are struggling to get onto the housing ladder.”

Lesson: How to Read and Understand News Articles

Introduction:

Reading news articles is an essential skill for staying informed about current events and understanding the world around us. However, not all news articles are created equal, and some can be difficult to understand. In this lesson, we will explore strategies for reading and understanding news articles.

Section 1: Reading Strategies

1.1. Start with the headline and lead paragraph:

The headline and lead paragraph provide a quick summary of the article's main points. By reading these first, you can get a general idea of what the article is about and whether it is worth reading further.

1.2. Look for contextual clues:

Contextual clues are details within the article that help you understand the bigger picture. These may include references to other events or people, dates, and locations. Pay attention to these clues as they can help you better understand the article.

1.3. Identify the source:

The source of the article can provide important information about its credibility. Reputable sources are more likely to provide accurate and reliable information. Additionally, consider the author's expertise and the publication's reputation.

1.4. Break the article into sections:

Many news articles are divided into sections, such as introductory paragraphs, body paragraphs, and conclusions. By reading each section separately, you can better understand the article's main points and arguments.

1.5. Use visual aids:

Visual aids, such as maps, charts, and graphs, can provide important information that enhances your understanding of the article. Take the time to look at these aids and consider how they relate to the article's content.

Section 2: Critical Thinking

2.1. Ask questions:

As you read the article, ask yourself questions to test your understanding. For example, you might ask why the event happened, who was involved, or what consequences resulted from the event.

2.2. Consider multiple perspectives:

News articles often present multiple perspectives on a single issue. By considering these perspectives, you can develop a more nuanced understanding of the issue and make more informed judgments.

2.3. Evaluate the evidence:

Evidence is crucial to understanding news articles. Evaluate the strength and reliability of the evidence presented in the article. Consider whether the evidence supports the claims made in the article.

2.4. Look for contradictions:

Contradictions can reveal important information about the article's credibility. If you notice contradictions, consider whether they undermine the article's claims or arguments.

Section 3: Conclusion

By following the strategies outlined in this lesson, you can improve your ability to read and understand news articles. Remember to start with the headline and lead paragraph, look for contextual clues, identify the source, break the article into sections, use visual aids, ask questions, consider multiple perspectives, evaluate the evidence, and look for contradictions. With practice, you will become a more informed and critical reader of news articles.

Q:

You can specify RecordType in the package/retrieve it with SFDX, but it won't include Fields unless you retrieve them too. Is there a way around that?

I believe the same applies to profiles/permission sets. I want to be surgical with my retrieval so I only deploy what I want. If I retrieve record types, however, I need to include the Custom Object or the necessary fields.
Including all the fields is too tedious since all the Custom Fields we want to push are usually net new and don't include existing picklist values that we may want to remove from or add to the new record types. However if I include the custom object it retrieves all the record types in that object and requires a tedious, manual extraction of only the record types I want.
Has anyone faced a similar problem?

A:

This is a feature, not a bug. Depending on your development process, some options are available.
Change Sets can be used to specify just the fields and record types you want to retrieve or deploy, then you can use that to deploy to other Sandboxes or Production either directly (via Outbound Change Sets) or indirectly (via sfdx or another tool).
Scratch Orgs use source tracking to pick up new changes. You can use this to selectively retrieve record types and fields by making the modifications you want. In the future, you'll be able to use a similar process with Sandboxes, though I'd still recommend Scratch Orgs as your go-to.
First Generation Packages (1GP) are another decent choice. You can build exactly the selection you want (with all dependencies automatically included), and then retrieve that package to get just the elements you want. I've used this quite successfully in the past, you may want to give it a try.
If it's just a matter of delta installations/continuous delivery stuff, consider using Unlocked Packages. They are upgradeable, like Managed Packages, and also downgradeable, and can perform delta operations (i.e. delete metadata, change metadata, and add metadata).
Your package.xml is free to specify record types and custom fields without the object as well:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
  <types>
    <members>Opportunity.RecordType1</members>
    <name>RecordType</name>
  </types>
  <types>
    <members>Opportunity.Field1__c</members>
    <members>Opportunity.Field2__c</members>
    <name>CustomField</name>
  </types>
  <version>48.0</version>
</Package>

textbook:
can use the `sfdx import:defaults` command to import those changes into your org without having to retrieve the entire custom object. This will create or update only the specified fields and record types, without touching any others.

If you want to deploy only specific fields and record types, you can use Change Sets to selectively include or exclude them. To do this, you can use the `sfdx describe:changes` command to see which changes are included in a particular Change Set, then manually edit the Change Set to include only the changes you want.

For example, suppose you have a custom object called "MyCustomObject" with three fields: "field1", "field2", and "field3". You want to deploy only the "field1" field and a new record type called "MyRecordType". Here's how you can do it:

1. Create a Change Set with the "field1" field and the new "MyRecordType" record type.
2. Use the `sfdx describe:changes` command to see which changes are included in the Change Set.
3. Edit the Change Set to exclude the other changes.
4. Use the `sfdx import:defaults` command to import the changes into your org.

This way, you can deploy only the specific fields and record types you want, without having to retrieve the entire custom object.

Q:

iOS Storyboard Layout - Constraint Query

I've been playing around with the Universal design in Xcode and actually quite like it.
While playing I can't seem to work out how to get equal spacing between certain items.

In the above image I would like to have the 3 x red bars equally spaced inside the light blue view.
The best I can do is set the middle red bar to be in the centre of the light blue view and then fix the distance between the other red bars.
Is there any other way to space them out?
For example when you have a UIToolbar you can just place all of the items in the toolbar and then use flexible spaces to equally distribute the items.
Hope this makes sense.

A:

You could do something along the lines of: place the first bar in the center, and then have two clear UIViews filling the space on top and below the middle bar. And then the top and bottom bars could be centered on those clear UIViews (vertically centered in container).
You could also do something very similar to what you need to do with Toolbars.  i.e. place 5 clear views between and outside of the three bars that you care about, and then set them to be equal height.  This will force the three bars to be spaced evenly.

Lesson:

Title: Constraints in iOS Storyboard Layout

Level: Intermediate

Overview:

Constraints are an essential part of designing user interfaces in iOS development. They allow developers to create visually appealing and functional interfaces by controlling the position, size, and distribution of elements within a view. In this lesson, we will explore how to use constraints to achieve equal spacing between multiple objects in an iOS storyboard layout.

Objectives:

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

1. Understand the concept of constraints in iOS storyboard layouts.
2. Apply constraints to achieve equal spacing between multiple objects.
3. Use clear UIViews to center objects vertically and horizontally.
4. Create flexible spaces to distribute objects evenly.
5. Implement constraints to control the position, size, and distribution of objects in a view.

Section 1: Introduction to Constraints

Constraints are rules that define how objects interact with each other within a view. They can control the position, size, and distribution of objects, making it easier to design visually appealing and functional interfaces. Constraints can be applied to objects such as labels, buttons, images, and more.

Section 2: Equal Spacing Between Multiple Objects

To achieve equal spacing between multiple objects, you can use the following techniques:

1. Place the first object in the center and then use clear UIViews to fill the space around it. Add the other objects to these clear UIViews and center them vertically and horizontally.

2. Use flexible spaces to distribute objects evenly. Drag a flexible space object between the objects you want to space out and then add the other objects to the flexible space.

Section 3: Using Clear UIViews

Clear UIViews are useful for centering objects vertically and horizontally. To create a clear UIView, select the object and click on the "Clear" button in the toolbar. Then, drag the clear UIView to the desired location and size.

Section 4: Creating Flexible Spaces

Flexible spaces are useful for distributing objects evenly. To create a flexible space, select the objects you want to space out and then click on the "Flexible" button in the toolbar. This will create a group that will distribute the objects evenly.

Section 5: Implementing Constraints

To implement constraints, select the objects you want to control and then click on the "Add Missing Constraints" button in the toolbar. This will open the Constraints Inspector, where you can define the constraints for the selected objects. You can control the position, size, and distribution of objects using constraints such as leading, trailing, top, bottom, width, height, and distribution.

Glossary:

- Clear UIView: A view that does not obstruct other views and is used to center objects vertically and horizontally.
- Flexible space: A group of objects that are distributed evenly.
- Constraints: Rules that define how objects interact with each other within a view.

Conclusion:

Constraints are essential for designing visually appealing and functional interfaces in iOS development. By understanding the concept of constraints and applying them correctly, you can achieve equal spacing between multiple objects, center objects vertically and horizontally, and distribute objects evenly. With practice, you will be able to create complex and sophisticated interfaces using constraints.

Role of ADAM17/EGFR and ADAM10/Notch signaling in angiogenesis. The goal of my lab is to understand the function of cell surface metalloproteinases termed ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) in development and disease. ADAMs have emerged as critical modulators of cell-cell interactions. They regulate the bioavailability of membrane proteins such as the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha and ligands of the EGF-receptor, and are required for cell fate decision that depend on cell surface receptors of the Notch family. I will present studies employing a combination of biochemical and cell biological approaches as well as mouse models to elucidate the role of ADAMs in EGF-receptor signaling and in Notch signaling in developmental angiogenesis and pathological neovascularization.

Lesson: Understanding Metalloproteinases and their Role in Angiogenesis

Introduction:
Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. It is a crucial part of growth and development, as well as wound healing and the formation of new tissues. However, uncontrolled angiogenesis can lead to various diseases, including cancer. In this lesson, we will learn about metalloproteinases, specifically ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase), and their role in angiogenesis.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is understanding the role of metalloproteinases, particularly ADAMs, in angiogenesis and their potential impact on diseases such as cancer.

Section 1: Understanding Metalloproteinases

Topic 1: What are Metalloproteinases?
Metalloproteinases are a family of enzymes that contain a zinc ion in their active site. They are involved in various biological processes, including cell adhesion, cell migration, and cell signaling.

Topic 2: Types of Metalloproteinases
There are over 90 different types of metalloproteinases, but we will focus on ADAMs. ADAMs are cell surface proteases that play a crucial role in regulating cell-cell interactions.

Section 2: ADAMs and Angiogenesis

Topic 1: The Role of ADAMs in Angiogenesis
ADAMs have been shown to play a significant role in angiogenesis, the process of forming new blood vessels. They regulate the bioavailability of membrane proteins such as TNF-alpha and ligands of the EGF-receptor, which are essential for angiogenesis.

Topic 2: ADAMs and EGF-Receptor Signaling
EGF-receptor signaling is a critical pathway involved in angiogenesis. ADAMs are involved in the cleavage and release of ligands that bind to the EGF-receptor, thus modulating the signaling pathway.

Section 3: Mouse Models and Cell Biological Approaches

Topic 1: Mouse Models
To study the role of ADAMs in angiogenesis, researchers use mouse models with genetic alterations in ADAMs. These models help us understand the function of ADAMs in developmental angiogenesis and pathological neovascularization.

Topic 2: Cell Biological Approaches
Researchers also use cell biological approaches to study the role of ADAMs in angiogenesis. These approaches include biochemical assays, immunofluorescence microscopy, and Western blotting.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, ADAMs play a crucial role in angiogenesis by regulating the bioavailability of membrane proteins and modulating EGF-receptor signaling. Understanding the role of ADAMs in angiogenesis can help us develop new therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with uncontrolled angiogenesis, such as cancer.

Glossary:
- Metalloproteinases: A family of enzymes that contain a zinc ion in their active site.
- ADAMs: A type of metalloproteinase involved in cell-cell interactions.
- Angiogenesis: The process of forming new blood vessels from pre-existing ones.
- EGF-receptor: A receptor that plays a critical role in angiogenesis.

The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention(s). It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art, or material, to the presently described or claimed inventions, or that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of tooth care devices and more specifically relates to a disposable tooth care system, entitled ‘brush and toss systems’.
2. Description of the Related Art
A variety of oral hygiene measures have been used to protect teeth. Toothbrushes may be used as an oral hygiene instrument to clean the teeth and gums. Toothbrushes are typically comprised of a head of tightly clustered bristles mounted on a handle, which facilitates the cleansing of hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Toothbrushes are available with different bristle textures, sizes and forms. Most dentists recommend using a toothbrush labeled “soft”, since firmer bristled toothbrushes can damage tooth enamel and may irritate the gums. Toothbrushes have been made from synthetic fibers in recent years, although animal bristles may still be sometimes used.
Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentifrice used/applied with a toothbrush as a means to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. Toothpaste is used to promote oral hygiene acting as an abrasive that aids in removing the dental plaque and food from the teeth, assists in the elimination and/or masking of halitosis, and delivers active ingredients such as fluoride or xylitol to help prevent tooth and gum disease(s) such as gingivitis. Toothpaste, which often contains fluoride, is commonly used in conjunction with a toothbrush to increase the effectiveness of teeth brushing.
Dental floss is made of either a bundle of thin nylon filaments or a plastic (Teflon® or polyethylene) or a silk ribbon used to remove food and dental plaque from teeth. The floss is gently inserted between the teeth and scraped along the teeth sides, especially close to the gums. Dental floss may be flavored or unflavored, and waxed or unwaxed. An alternative tool to achieve the same effect is the interdental brush. An alternative tool to achieve the same effect is the interdental brush. When spending extended periods of time away from home, consumers are required to have consistent access to dental hygiene products. However, packing several items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss can be highly inconvenient. The items may take up unnecessary space in luggage, and toothpaste may leak out and spill onto clothing or other items within the luggage. Also, individuals who are handicapped, who are experiencing declining agility, or who are very young and have underdeveloped motor skills may have significant difficulty squeezing traditional toothpaste tubes may have difficulty with conventional devices and systems.
Various attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problems such as those found in U.S. Pat. and Pub. Nos. 6,257,791; 5,908,257; 6,142,694; 5,439,014; 2002/0114658; and 4,583,563. This prior art is representative of tooth care means. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed.
Ideally, a disposable tooth care system should be convenient, user-friendly and, yet would operate reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a reliable disposable tooth care system to avoid the above-mentioned problems.
