Sheet should be renamed "General Sprites". (Could also be called "Everything" because the sheet claims to be complete)
https://www.spriters-resource.com/game_b...eet/78447/
Sheet should probably be named "Yoshi's Island". Although I don't know if this island even has an official name.
This sheet should be moved to the "Playable Characters" section
Two of these were fixed earlier today. For the three that remain (left in the quote above), I think we need a little clarification.
For the first, if we can confirm it's complete, I'm all for renaming it Everything. Otherwise, I think the current name is sufficient.
I suppose the name change works for the second but if it never had an official name, I feel the current one describes it slightly better.
With the third, I actually agree with its current placement. The playable characters section has sheets for each of the individual characters whereas this is the character select screen. I get where you're coming from as well though.
If you want to follow up, feel free. In the meantime, thank you for continuing to point out these fixes!

Analyzing Cling Film Used in the Packaging of Illicit Drugs
By Velda Iskandar, BScReviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.
Illicit drugs distributed worldwide are commonly packaged in cling film. The characterization of the polymers, as well as their chemical compositions, serve as a tool to aid forensic investigators to link a questioned drug to a known cling film.
Cling Film. Image Credit: hanif66/Shutterstock.com
Studies have discovered instruments that can provide different characterizations regarding the cling films used to wrap common drugs of abuse. These include gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS), elemental analysis/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA/IRMS), GC/MS, and ATR-FTIR.
Manufacturing of cling film provides identification
Cling films are typically analyzed through a polythetic approach that compares the physical, as well as chemical, characterizations of the cling film material. Cling films are composed of the base polymer polyvinylchloride (PVC) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE).
While cling films have been composed of halogenated polymers and plasticizers such as DEHA, DBP, and DEHP, manufacturers have moved into LDPE to avoid contamination of food from such chemicals. Also, manufacturers often perform co-polymerization between vinyl acetate and LDPE to form ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), generating resistance to oxidation and withstanding the power of UV and visible light.
Whereas PVC films are added with plasticizers to gain flexibility from the rigid cling film material. In addition to these processes, cling films, as well as other plastic films, undergo the blown film extrusion technique during manufacturing, and this process forms striation marks caused by the damage from the extrusion.
The striation marks, or commonly referred to as the die lines, can aid forensic examiners to associate a section of cling film to another by aligning the continuous die lines. The two pieces of the cling film can then be linked by Schlieren photography or shadowgraphing.
Nevertheless, other existing physical methods that do not involve the arrangement between the two cling film bits are also employed.
Observation of the unique characteristics from crystalline additives by stereomicroscopy or determination of birefringence through polarized light microscopy can provide physical characterization.
What is Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)?
ATR-FTIR spectroscopy identifies the different base polymers in a cling film
Due to the limitations at which cling films may distort or stretch; this produces disparities of the polymer thickness and shape during the examination of the die lines. Difficulties in arranging the two cling film pieces also exist due to the absence of seal features on the material.

New handheld MasSpec Pen can identify meat and fish fraud within seconds
Developing a portable tool to detect street drug 'spice'
A more favorable method of examining these materials is through using a chemical analysis approach, where a variety of chemical components within the cling film can be characterized.
Qualitative analysis of cling films by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy proves that the manufacturing process produces a homogenous mixture of all the chemical components in the film. This is due to the similarities of all spectra that are generated within different parts of a cling film roll.
The identification of base polymers in a cling film allows investigators to link an unknown cling film to its manufacturer. For instance, Sharma et al. was able to identify the presence of dioctyl adipate (DOA) and dioctyl phthalate (DOP) from its absorbance peak of 1738 cm-1, where the C=O stretch carbonyl group usually absorbs.
These peaks show stronger absorbance peaks in one particular cling film group sample than in another cling film group which signifies that the two films are manufactured differently.
False-positive arising from limitations from chemical variation quantification in LDPE cling films by ATR-FTIR
From analyzing different food grade LDPE cling films from separate brands with ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, Holam et al. found that qualitative comparisons are not as meaningful as quantitative analysis, as the peak wavenumbers would be similar for every cling film sample. Quantitative analysis would allow the cling films to be differentiated based on the difference in peak areas corresponding to the number of chemical components present in that cling film.
However, they also found that the chemical variation existing between different cling film samples can be very limited as the data points on the bivariate plots utilized show that the peaks overlap.
Although ATR-FTIR spectroscopy may not provide discrimination of different LDPE cling films, the technique remains a useful approach to identify the base polymer of a cling film in a rapid manner.
EA/IRMS can distinguish heroin seizures and cling films from isotopic measurements
Findings show that illicit heroin seizures and cling films can be characterized based on their isotopic compositions. Idoine, et. al utilized EA/IRMS instrumental analysis in distinguishing most of the heroin samples in bulk based on the Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Hydrogen isotopes.
The hydrogen and oxygen isotope measurements were taken by the ThermoFinnigan TC/EA high-temperature elemental analyzer, and the GC column separated the carbon monoxide as well as the hydrogen that was formed in the pyrolysis reactor. The gaseous hydrogen and carbon monoxide were then used as references for the isotopic compositions, and these isotopic compositions were calibrated against PEF1 polyethylene foil and NBS19 calcium carbonate.
Their findings demonstrate that cling films can be discriminated mainly based on the Carbon 13 isotope values between the different heroin seized drugs, alongside the hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon isotopic ratio multivariate comparisons. This method can assist investigators in associating seized heroin drugs with various street deals.

This little blog got nominated for a 'Liebster Award' by Naomi, over at Rising Net Worth – thanks, Naomi!
It's an online award given to bloggers by other bloggers. Those nominated, should they choose to do so, may answer a few questions posed by the blogger who nominated them, nominate other blogs themselves and ask a few questions of their own nominees.
Of course, if they choose not to accept the award, then they don't need to do anything and just ignore.
Anyway, it seems like a good way of garnering new readers and checking out new blogs too.
So to keep the award ball rolling….
1. All your work is caught up, you have a day off to yourself. What are you doing?
Putting my feet up and reading. Drinking lots of tea! If it's hot and sunny, I'll be reading in the garden.
2. Name one thing that you normally wouldn't do under normal circumstances but if the price was right you would do it in a heartbeat!
Get a pedicure, especially now it's summer! I only tend to have one while I'm away on holiday (a lot cheaper!), I just can't justify spending £40 on my feet!
3. If you had a chance to redo one of your biggest financial mishaps which one would it be?
I would not have applied for new credit cards when I was already maxed out on two existing cards. I would pay off those two cards.
4. You just won the lottery. Do you opt for the lump sum payout or do you choose the monthly disbursement for life? Why?
Lump sum to spend, invest and donate how I wish – I think a lump sum allows more control.
5. What's your #1 rule when it comes to finances?
2. What piece of financial advice would you give to your 18 year old self?
5. Which song is currently on your top play list of your iPod/generic MP3 player/radio?
I look forward to reading the answers – that's if any of them feel like accepting the award!
I love your answer to #2, I would have never thought of that but it's a total luxury that I'd love to have every week like some women do! Forget the manicure (I alway knick them to shreds within days) but to have some massage & pamper my feet would be divine! I'm glad you enjoyed this nomination, it was fun for me as well! Now, I'm off to follow the nominees that you've listed!
Hi Naomi, same here – I'd love to have a regular pedicure but it's just a pure luxury that I can't justify! I'm with you re manicures, aside from making a mess of them within days, I have a habit of biting the nail part of my fingers when I'm thinking/reading, though not the nails themselves, so a total waste of time and money there! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you Weenie. I humbly accept!
I'll get to work on answering your questions and selecting my nominees.
Hey Huw, you're welcome – will be great to check out your answers!
So sorry, only just saw this! Thank you so much!
I will answer the questions and post on the blog asap!
Hey TFS, no worries – yours was one of the first blogs that I read that inspired me to start my own so the nomination was well deserved! Look forward to seeing your answers!
Apologies for the delay, thanks for your nomination! I'd certainly take the lottery money in a lump sum and divvy it out too!
Hi Joe, you're welcome! Will check your blog out now!

The Newtonians have always been the best-selling reflecting telescopes since they offer large diameter at a really low price. This Newton Wide Photo 200/800 f4 by SkyWatcher is a 200mm diameter and 800mm focal length telescope great for astrophotography, thanks to the fast f/4 focal ratio and to the compatibility with the very good f/4 optional coma corrector.
This instrument is very bright and allows you to record the weakest details of deep-sky objects but it can also be used for visual application, especially for observation of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. 3 years of warranty!
The Newton Wide Photo are the great telescopes for observing or photographing faint objects, at very low cost. Designed for deep-sky photography, it's very well suited also for deep-sky and planetary observations. Lightweight and compact, we suggest a EQ5 or type mount while for photographic use we suggest at least an HEQ5 type mount.
A lot of attention is given at the detail. The aluminum intubation internally opaque ensures better contrast and avoids any reflections. The primary cell with 9 points provides a solid support and an easier and more precise collimation. Together with the dove-tail type Vixen bar are provided the support rings, that guarantee a remarkable stability to the optical tube. They are also useful for connecting other instruments along with Newton, for example if you need to mount a guide scope. Spiders of the secondary mirror are very thin and rigid, an advantage both esthetically and mechanically.
The Crayford focuser comes with a micrometric reduction 1:10 and 50,8 mm accessories connection. The Newton Wide Photo is the ideal telescope for those who want to approach themselves to astrophotography. Thanks to the reducer supplied as standard, can be installed 50.8 mm diameter accessories and 31.8 mm. The 9x50 finder comes with its support, its 50mm aperture provides a wide field of view. The low-expansion mirrors ensure more rapid acclimatization and a reduces thermal expansion. For photographic use we recommend the use of a coma corrector, to correct small defects natives of optical design.
Need more? The SkyWatcher Newton Wide Photo 200/800 f8 telescope can be enhanced with our complete line of accessories for astrophotography: in the picture above, with the 240mm PLUS Losmandy dovetail bar (one above and one under the telescope support rings), PLUS 115mm guide rings with 60mm CompactGuide scope, SestoSenso electronic focuser controller.

Q: how to submit code in codeforce codechef etc? I tried a simple problem at codeforce
http://codeforces.com/problemset/problem/389/A
this is my solution
def main():
    input_size = int(input())
    numbers = []
    for i in range(input_size):
        #print('Enter ',i,' value')
        numbers.append(int(input()))
    #print(numbers)
    zeros_count,i = 0,0
    while True:
        #print(numbers)
        i=i%(input_size-1)
        if numbers[i]<numbers[i+1]:
            numbers[i+1] = numbers[i+1]-numbers[i]
            #print(i+1,'-',i,end='\n\n')
            zeros_count = 0
        elif numbers[i]>numbers[i+1]:
            numbers[i]=numbers[i]-numbers[i+1]
            #print(i,'-',i+1,end='\n\n')
            zeros_count = 0
        if numbers[i] == numbers[i+1]:
            zeros_count+=1
            #print(i,'and',i+1,'are equal');
        i+=1
        if zeros_count == input_size-1:
            break
        if zeros_count == 20:
            break;
    s = 0;
    for i in range(0,input_size,1):
        s+=numbers[i];
    print(s);
main()

this code is working fine on my computer but when i submit it, they say runtime error in 1st case that is 2 1 2. Most probably something is wrong in the way i take input or give output. Would you please tell me where am i doing it wrong.. similar problem comes when i tried to submit a code in codechef

A: First of all, your logic is wrong . Your code is running infinitely in while loop.
Here is my correct code in python
n=int(input())
a=map(int,raw_input().split())
a.sort()
while(True):
if(a[0]==a[n-1]):
    break;
for i in range(n-1,0,-1):
    if(a[i]>a[i-1]):
        a[i]=a[i]-a[i-1]
a.sort()
print sum(a)

Leg press technique is simple, but cheating on it greatly reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. Although the leg press is no replacement for the squat, leg presses are a great supplemental leg exercise for your training program if done correctly. Using proper leg press technique, you can hammer wheels you've already pumped with your squat session.
The leg press is no substitute for the squat! It is, however a great assistance exercise to the squat.
Now that that's out of the way, the leg press is used to build your quads, and also works your hamstrings and glutes. If you do them right, your quads will feel like they're on fire by the time you're done!
Before starting the exercise, make sure the back pad is set properly so you can complete the full range of motion. The lower you set the pad, the deeper you will be able to bring your legs. The greater the range of motion, the more effective this exercise will be. The greater the range of motion, not the greater the weight.
Sit into the leg press and grip the handles at the bottom of the press. Grip the handles throughout the lift to prevent your back from coming up off the pad, and to eliminate the tendency to push your legs with your hands and assist (cheat) in the lift.
Place your feet on the platform. Unless you are focusing on a specific muscle group (see Variations below) foot placement should be similar to the placement you use on your squats.
Take a deep breath into your chest and lower the platform in a smooth, controlled fashion until your thighs touch your torso. You may have to exhale slightly as your legs press against your body.
Without pausing press the platform back up. Exhale your breath as you complete the lift. Do not let your knees lock out at the top between sets.
Select a weight that you can perform all of your repetitions using proper technique. On your last 1-2 sets, your last repetitions should be very difficult, but you should continue to complete the full range of motion on all reps.
Don't brag about the weight you push on the leg press. No amount of weight on the leg press is ever impressive.
Partial Repetitions: set the back pad as low as possible and bring the platform down until your thighs are pressing against your abs and chest; completing partial repetitions greatly reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
Locking your knees at the top: don't allow your knees to lock out at the top, keep the tension of the weight on your legs throughout the exercise – that is what creates the burn!
Pushing your knees with your hands: keep your hands on the handles, if you cannot complete the lift without assistance then reduce the weight.

Q: What are the rights ways of debugging javascript? I made a function called test() in javascript file.Placed a simple alert into it.
In html file, called the method on click of a button. But,it was not being invoked.
Problem was in the 11th function, nowhere related to mine !!!! But, how can a person making his first javascript function suppose to find that out  ???
I am looking for best ways to debug javascript.

A: You can debug javascript using many modern browsers. See this question for details on how to debug in Google Chrome:
How do you launch the JavaScript debugger in Google Chrome?
Furthermore, you shouldn't use alert() for debugging as this can give different results to a production version due to alert() causing a pause in the script.
It is best practice to use console.log() and view the output in the browsers Console.
You can also put debugger in your javascript code to force a breakpoint. However I prefer not to use this as forgetting to remove this before deployment will cause your script to pause, which can be quite embarrassing!

A: You should use the debug console provided by the browser.
Chrome has it inbuilt, press CTRL + SHIFT + j. In Firefox, install Firebug plugin.
In your code, add alert() to show flow and get values of variables.
Also, use console.log() which will only output to the debug console.

A: Depending on your browser choice there are debugging options - I tend to use Firefox, so Firebug in my case. There is a question that list options for other browsers - What is console.log and how do I use it?
Unless the project you're working on has already adopted a mechanism for debugging, console.log() tends to be a simple and useful option when tracking down a problem.
Whilst debugging you could take the approach to log out a line when entering a function, like so:
var myFunc = function(el) {
    console.log('Inside myFunc');

    // Existing code
};

This will enable you to see which functions have been called and give you a rough idea of the order of execution.
You can also use console.log() to show the contents of variables - console.log(el);
Be mindful to remove/disable console.log() calls once you're done as it will likely cause some issues in production.

A: To answer your question within question,

how can a person making his first javascript function suppose to find that out ???

Well, when something is wrong in JavaScript, for example, you made a syntax error - the script will stop working from there. However, this won't stop HTML from rendering on, so it might look as if everything is correct (especially if your JS is not changing the look of the page) but all the functionality of JS will be dead.
That's why we use the debug tools (listed in the other answers here) to see what's wrong, and in cases like this, it's very easy to notice which function has errors and is causing the whole script to break. This would probably have save a few minutes to your seniors as well.
The best approach would be to test frequently so that whenever you run into errors, you can fix them right away.


Many of you will have been aware that on Monday 11 January 2016 we were inspected by the Care Quality Commission, which is the body that regulates the activities that we provide at Brandon Park.
We are delighted to announce that Brandon Park has been rated as a 'Good' home overall. This is a huge achievement for us all and demonstrates the hard work and commitment from each member of staff.
What is very evident from the report and from the comments of the residents and staff who spoke to inspectors on the day is that this is a happy and caring home with a special group of staff who do their very best to make every day as good as it can possibly be for our residents. The lead inspector felt there had been dramatic improvements under the current leadership team and that the home had a lovely feel about it. Fundamentally we now know that all the very hard work that has been put in by every single person at Brandon Park is making a difference to those in our care.
As a staff member said on the day: "Everything about this home is good. Communication is very good. We work well together, we are a good team. Staff get extremely good support. We can discuss any concerns with the managers and they'll address them." This is a great compliment to everyone at the home.
We feel this report marks a huge turnaround for the Home and we thank everyone of you who has believed in what we are trying to do and has supported us in every way you can. This is just the beginning and we have lots of exciting times ahead for all our residents at Brandon Park, not to mention those who work at or visit our Home!

Q: Parse flat data into nested pydantic model I have two models:
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Nested(BaseModel):
    id: int
    title: str

class Model(BaseModel):
    id: int
    nested_id: int
    nested: Nested

Model references Nested.
I make a query with a JOIN to my database and get something like this response:
data = {'id': 5, 'nested_id': 1, 'id_1': 1, 'title': 'хлеб'}
I would like to parse this response and assign the right fields to the Nested model,
Are there any methods in BaseModel, with which I can parse data?
Of course I can work with dict which I already have. But I want to do it in a method of BaseModel .
I use parse_as_obj(List[Model], data).

A: Something like this?
from pydantic import BaseModel, root_validator

DataDict = dict[str, object]

class Nested(BaseModel):
    id: int
    title: str

class Model(BaseModel):
    id: int
    nested_id: int
    nested: Nested

    @root_validator(pre=True)
    def parse_flat_nested_data(cls, values: DataDict) -> DataDict:
        if "nested" not in values:
            values["nested"] = {
                "id": values.get("id_1"),
                "title": values.get("title"),
            }
        return values

if __name__ == "__main__":
    data = {"id": 5, "nested_id": 1, "id_1": 1, "title": "хлеб"}
    instance = Model.parse_obj(data)
    print(instance)

Output: id=5 nested_id=1 nested=Nested(id=1, title='хлеб')
See documentation on validators for more.

Are there signs of a recession on the horizon?


Being a praiseworthy Ukrainian response of popularity surge to Goran Bregovich, Boban Markovich and «Non Smoking Orchestra» by Emir Kusturitsa, Perkalaba's activity started in 1998.
Since then the band has become famous and desirable not only in Ukraine but also in Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Ethno-rock festivals are known around the world and awaited from Perkalaba again and again and again. Like Yevhen Gudz, by the way, one of lovers of Perkalaba art, propagandizing gypsy-punk, the band invented its own style — Hutsul roots. Each of the previous four albums of Perkalaba (Horrry! (2005), Quazzargh vs Perkalaba (2006), Ivano-Frankivsk Speaks Up (2007), Chydro (2009) and Dido (2011) differs from the others, early tracks of the band tend to reggae, gradually transforming to folk Hutsul music and magic.
But every single hit must include three elements, and only Perkalaba has such combinations: musical quality and peculiarity, power of stimulating an action and dance, that can be compared with nothing, as well as fullness of sounds and text, combining in a super-real trance message, an indispensable stimulus of emotions of true incredible life.
Availability of communication. The music, seeming to be full of folk motifs, actually claims to become popular and usual at weddings. Critics try to draw parallels, to compare with someone. But this method is simple — eclecticism and brycolage. Everything may be interconnected, plaited into sounds jolly and organically. Everything is combined. Ease, humor, serenity form the brand style in this combination.
Inadvertence. Just music of Mountains. Constant presence of mountains, pure air, sunshine. And, what is more important, it is not imitation. Many things can be imitated: intellect, global grief. But not real slovenliness, mockery and familiarity.
Anarchism. All phenomena, presented today as events of priority importance, the most important factors of life — political pecking, show-business blinking, big money; all phenomena, that in fact have nothing to do with human life, its deep essence, just polluting air and space — won't be heard in the music of «Perkalaba». It's great! It's cool! It's lively!!!
