![]() The Activity is obviously just an activity. This is the overall architecture of what I'll be implementing. In this blog post I'll be showing you an example using LiveData. Room provides compile time checks of SQLite statements and can return RxJava, Flowable, and LiveData observables. It helps to avoid the boilerplate code that was previously associated with interacting with the SQLite database.Įssentially the room persistence library allows developers to easily convert SQLite table data into java objects. It was built to assist developers implementing local SQLite database transactions. Room is an SQLite object mapping library. Make sure to register to be notified when it's published. In March 2019, I'll be making a course on how to build a database cache. The most common use for this internal SQLite database is for building an offline database cache. As the developer, you can access this database and use it to save data. When an android app is installed on a device, an SQLite database is automatically generated. It'll ask you to register but don't worry it's free and only takes about 30 seconds. ![]() It's part of my SQLite for Beginners 2019 course. If you know absolutely nothing about SQLite watch this video. ![]() But I encourage you to read more about SQLite if you don't know much. This blog post is focused on the Room Persistence Library so I won't be going into detail about SQLite on Android. If you want more information, I made a course on implementing the Room Persistence Library. In this blog post I'm going to show you how to get started with SQLite and the Room Persistence Library on Android.

![]() Or is it? Western society (and therefore linguists) have yet to make contact with many cultures. More than a century later, it seems the IPA is extensive and complete. ![]() Successive revisions include the creation of a separate table for vowels and the inclusion of letters for sounds found in African languages like and, clicks you can sound out with a clap of the tongue against the top and/or bottom of the mouth (or sounds you’ve probably made before when doing an impression of a horse’s trot). The newly revised alphabet was unveiled at the dawn of the 20th century. The IPA was initially a Eurocentric venture dedicated to European phonology, but linguists’ endless curiosity soon broadened the scope to include languages such as Arabic. And that, no, the word does not originally come from English. Bush met Tony Blair and denounced the French for having no word for “entrepreneur.” So, let’s imagine someone sits down and explains to the former president that entrepreneur exists in both languages and is read in American English and in French. Political myth (political mirth?) states that George W. Pushing it even further: which one of the following words rhymes with enough: though, through, plough, or dough or cough? The IPA will tell you that cough (UK, US ) is the only word on the list that vaguely rhymes with enough (UK, US ). But how do we know where to spot them? Well, the IPA transcription in any dictionary will help us: daughter in US English is and laughter is. Silent Letters: Who Needs ‘Em?Įnglish has an incredible amount of silent letters. So which is which? Well, in the US the verb is read and the noun can either be or, depending on the meaning. ![]() Consider “tear,” which can either be the verb, “to tear” or one of two differently pronounced nouns. This is not only valuable across different regional variations, but serves a practical purpose to any individual speaker. So whereas in common spelling, the same word can be read differently by different readers, in IPA these words will always be read with a great degree of accuracy, including the idiosyncrasies typical of each dialect and accent. But if we want to include dialects, we will have to find as many variations of the IPA as these words require. Notice how the little diacritic “ˌ” points to a stressed syllable right after it pops up! Extremely helpful for language learners. It is read in British English and in American English. Let’s begin with English and the word “dictionary,” with possible IPA spellings. The model used for the IPA was a phonetic script created for English in 1847 by Isaac Pitman and Henry Ellis. The intention was systematic and the result led to a succession of changes in an attempt to incorporate sounds from other non-European languages. The International Phonetic Association inaugurated and furthered the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet, a system of writing using letters and diacritics to sound out speech. These and other concerns led linguists at the end of the 19th century to create a writing system that would represent all of the phonemes in European languages with considerable accuracy. Still remember that moment when the teacher wrote “through” on the blackboard and you froze in a deep state of shock? Who would’ve thought such a simple sound could be represented alphabetically in such a monstrous way? The Birth Of The IPA If that weren’t bad enough, many languages have a standard spelling that resembles a madman’s joke. If writing as we speak is the goal we strive for, why not legitimize the use of different spelling options for different accents? Every time a language’s spelling is reformed to achieve more accurate phonetic representation - such as when European Portuguese dropped “ph” for “f” - a tsunami of complaints washes our cultural shores. ![]() Yes, the problem is only with this one program but it would seem to be User specific after I ‘experimentally’ changed the default program icon as per screenshot. Thanks Adam, I have put together a composite screenshot as attached to try and illustrate this and take it a little further. Since in theory the image of the taskbar notification area and are of different sizes. In tests create an icon with several image sizes (16 × 16 … 48 × 48, and other sizes in this range), each size put a different color in the image. Note: I did some testing and all showed that the image of the taskbar notification area and are the same size: 32 × 32. I have doubts about the size of the icon in the notification area of Windows. Sendo que na teoria as imagem da barra de tarefas e da área de notificação são de tamanhos diferentes. Nos testes crie um ícone com varios tamanhos de imagem (16×16 … 48×48, e outros tamanhos nesse intervalo), cada tamanho coloquei uma cor na imagem diferente. Obs: Fiz alguns teste e todos apresentaram que a imagem da barra de tarefas e da área de notificação são do mesmo tamanho: 32×32. ![]() Annotations is another case applying to the bottom right hand side but I have never come across a request from a client to create icons of this description in the 15 or so years I have been an icon designer, so it is not something I would lose any sleep over.Įstou com duvida sobre o tamanho do ícone da área de notificação do Windows. Windows overlays a transparent ICO file with a small offset graphic within the bottom left corner, on top of the standard Application ICO file. ICO files can also be used as overlays within Windows 7, a prime example is the small curved arrow used as a short-cut symbol on ‘Shortcut’ icons. Large Icons – 96 x 96 pixels (Automatically rendered by Windows from 256 version).The actual sizes displayed at each of the headings are as follows: You can test this by moving the slider up and down. Windows 7 automatically scales the icons as you move between the sizes you have created. Standard Windows Icon Sizes shown in Axialis Icon Workshop Save your ICO files into a folder and then use the ‘View’ drop down to select the view or size of icon you wish to see. The easiest way to test the compatibility of your Windows 7 ICO files is in a standard ‘Window’. When creating ICO files specifically for menus, rather than app icons, 16 x 16, 24 x 24 & 32 x 32 are the three most common sizes used. The size most commonly used size on this list is ’24 x 24′ as it is a standard size for menus within Windows 7 and 3rd-party software. However, I will list them here for completion. There are other additional Icon sizes supported by Windows Icons but they are rarely used. Let's talk icon design Additional Common Windows Icon Sizes In fact, more often than not, 32bit ICO files are fine for most projects but I recommend you test in the final application before making this decision.įrom a single icon to launch an app to a suite of icons for your website or software, we create icons for all platforms and all devices. This last colour depth is very rarely of use and as a rule I don’t tend to include it unless requested specifically by the client as it just uses up unnecessary space. ![]() To allow for backwards compatibility with Windows operating systems of software with a limited colour palette, you can also include the above icon sizes in 8bit (256 colours, 1bit colour transparency) and if you really wish to cover all eventualities in your icon design, 4bit (16 colours, 1bit transparency). 16 x 16 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency).32 x 32 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency).48 x 48 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency).256 x 256 pixels – 32bit (24bit colour, 8bit transparency).If you want to create an Windows 7 Compliant ‘Application Icon’, to be used as a short-cut, a file type, or embedded in an executable file, it must contain the minimum following icon sizes: Standard Windows Icon Size for ICO format This is in some way brought about by the flexibility of the ICO format and its ability to ‘contain’ many image sizes and colour depths but is also not helped by Microsoft’s own quite poor documentation on Windows Icon Size, see here. There is sometimes a little confusion over the different sizes required to create a Windows 7 Application Icon file. A Quick & Easy guide to Microsoft Windows Icon Size ![]() Hyperresonance is also low-pitched but is more of a booming sound in terms of sound quality and has a longer duration than resonance. For example, findings may include “resonance anteriorly in all lobes of the lungs.” However, it may be more of a dull or flat sound if a client has adipose tissue or a muscular chest, because this increased density modifies the sound. Resonance is the normal sound heard when percussing the lungs because they are filled with air rather than dense tissue. Resonance is a low-pitched sound that is hollow in terms of sound quality with a moderate duration. See Figure 1.9 for the expected location of percussion sounds and Table 1.2 for an explanation of the types of percussion sounds heard including resonance, hyperresonance, tympany, dullness, and flatness.įigure 1.9: Expected location of percussion sounds This skill requires lots of practice, so start by practicing the technique on a table or your own leg.Īs a nurse, you need to become familiar with the expected percussion sounds so that you can identify what is normal and what is abnormal. To optimize this motion, the wrist of your dominant hand should be relaxed and loose with your forearm parallel to the person’s body. The motion should be firm and quick with a very short duration. The pleximeter finger of your dominant hand should be at a 90-degree angle to the surface of the body. ![]() Dominant hand: Flex (bend) the pleximeter finger of your dominant hand and with the tip of your finger, tap twice on the distal interphalangeal joint of your non dominant hand.Ensure that only your interphalangeal joint is touching the body (and not the rest of the hand) and that the finger is fully extended. Non-dominant hand: With your hand parallel to the body, place the distal interphalangeal joint of the pleximeter (middle) finger of your non-dominant hand firmly on the body region to percuss.The steps of this technique are as follows: Indirect percussion is often used to assess the lungs and the abdomen (e.g., bowels, bladder, liver). See Figure 1.8 demonstrating the technique of indirect percussion.įigure 1.8: Indirect percussion technique There are three approaches to percussion, but the most widely used is indirect percussion, which is the application of a mediated force using parts of both of your hands. Percussion can also help reveal the presence of masses, particularly if they are close to the surface of the body. Fluid filled (e.g., bladder and stomach).For example, the percussion sounds can tell you if the organ is: This concept also applies to the body.Įach body part that you percuss provides information about the consistency as well as the size and borders of the underlying structure. As you tap these surfaces, you can hear that each surface elicits a different sound based on the object’s consistency. Try tapping different surfaces with your fingertips and compare the sounds: a firm hard surface like a wood desk or table, a thick textbook, a window, or even a drum. Percussion involves tapping the body to elicit sounds and determining whether the sounds are appropriate for a particular organ or area of the body. and foreign governmental agencies on the financial crisis and shadow banking.

The Chair and Commissioners are working to transform the DPU to proactively protect and harden the electric grid from worsening climate risks while also mitigating impacts on utility bills for Massachusetts residents and businesses.*Only new customer successful enrollments with Constellation, except in Connecticut and Illinois. The Department of Public Utilities said it "is reviewing CLF's comments regarding storm recovery costs. National Grid has also made investments in substation flood mitigation, underground cable replacement, Fault Location Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR), feeder hardening, development of coastal area construction standards, and changes to construction standards and materials." "Over the past five years, National Grid has made substantial investments to improve the reliability and resilience of its distribution system, including having inspected and manage vegetation on 12,850 miles of distribution lines to improve reliability installed 200 automated power restoration devices, helping reduce outage times by 55% and replaced 62,000 poles, 25,000 transformers and 1,200+ high-voltage switches to strengthen our system. In a statement to WBZ, National Grid countered that it already has invested in improving its infrastructure. "The cost for an average residential consumer will only go up a few percent for this one particular storm, but if continue to kick…that can down the road, then the storm costs will pile up and rates will continue to rise for consumers," Epke said. ![]() As storms become stronger and more frequent, rates will likely continue to increase. The biggest challenge, CLF believes, is climate change. WBZ-TV's Question Everything series has previously explored the challenges with moving power lines underground. "There are physical things that they can do to their system, to make it harder, stronger, more resilient to the strong storms that we are now seeing more regularly." ![]() The company should be "looking at infrastructure to make sure that it is not subject to repeat destruction," explained CLF staff attorney Johannes Epke. The Conservation Law Foundation believes National Grid should have to improve its infrastructure to proactively prepare for future storms before it is able to collect higher rates from customers. This reality is prompting the proposed rate hike, which National Grid says will raise the average customer's bill only $3.36 a month. In 20, there were nine each year, leaving the company to spend more than $100 million in storm repair costs than had been in the budget. ![]() However, in 2020, the state had 14 major storms. National Grid has a budget that accounts for about four major storms per year, based on past years. In particular, an October 2021 nor'easter that cost the company more than $50 million is leading to this rate hike. National Grid has applied to the Department of Public Utilities, asking for permission to raise electric rates in October 2023 to cover the cost of storms from 2021. ![]() "We urge the Department to deny National Grid's request to recover costs associated with the exogenous storm event because its failure to assess its infrastructure's readiness for foreseeable storm events was imprudent and thus it is unreasonable to pass these costs on to ratepayers," the letter said.

Fahrion then designed a subsequent 32 characters for Those Characters From Cleveland (American Greetings' toy and licensing design division). In the late 1970s, further Strawberry Shortcake concept art was drawn by Muriel Fahrion, an illustrator working in American Greetings' Juvenile & Humorous card department. These tests marked the first time that the public saw Strawberry Shortcake in her new design, which received a positive reception. Sargent completed the assignment in early July 1977, sending American Greetings four full-color leader cards depicting the Strawberry Shortcake character in full color ("Leader cards" are used by American Greetings for consumer test purposes). He requested Barbi to create four cards with a "strawberryish" outfit for the Mega Test Market. Rex Conners, American Greetings' staff art director, knew this card was very popular and determined that this was due to the strawberry motif. At the time, the character was simply called Girl with a Daisy or Strawberry Girl and was depicted holding a daisy while wearing an orange bonnet with a strawberry print on it. ![]() The character first appeared on a Laurel Valentine's Day Greeting card in 1972–1973.
