Below youll find tips 1 - 50 of more than 100 great weight loss tips to help you lose weight and keep it off, or just lead a healthier lifestyle.
Weight loss Tip 1 - Eating Out
When eating out, always choose the smallest portion size available. When we choose larger meals, most of us tend to eat past the point of hunger and in doing so consume more kilojoules than we need which contributes to weight gain.
Remember that if you are still hungry after choosing a smaller meal, you
can always fill up with something else and enjoy a wider variety of tastes
in the process.
Weight loss Tip 2 - Chips or Fries
If we absolutely must eat chips, opting for straight-cut and fatter chips instead of crinkle-cut and thin chips will help minimize fat intake. Straight-cut and fat chips have less surface area than crinkle-cut and thin chips so hold less fat. Extra fat equals extra taste, but if we want to lose weight we have to make some sacrifices! Try our Healthy Rosemary Potatoes to staisfy your chip craving.
Weight loss Tip 3 - Water
Try drinking a glass of water before a meal.
If you tend to overeat at certain meal times (like dinner for example),
try drinking a medium to large glass of water 10 to 15 minutes before you
sit down to that meal.
Drinking water before your meal will partially fill your stomach and may reduce your hunger levels, because often when we think we are feeling hunger, our body is actually telling us that it is getting dehydrated and needs some water.
Weight loss Tip 4 - Alcohol
Offer to be the "designated driver" more often.
If you go out for dinner and drinks with family and friends, offering to be the designated driver will save you hundreds of kilojoules because you can't drink as much alcohol.
In addition to drinking fewer kilojoules, you'll probably eat less as well because alcohol often makes us "let our guard down" and eat when we are no longer hungry.
Weight loss Tip 5- Sweets or Chocolate
If you often find yourself reaching for chocolate or lollies in between meals, try eating a handful or two of mixed, unsalted nuts instead. For best results, mix your own and include nuts that you don't necessarily eat on their own. Eating mixed nuts together means you won't even notice the ones you don't normally eat.
Although some nuts are relatively high in fat, the fat they contain is good fat that our body needs to stay healthy. And because they are so filling, you will probably end up consuming far less total calories than if you ate a less healthy alternative.
Weight loss Tip 6 - Habits
Try to break unhealthy food associations.
Many of us get into the habit of enjoying unhealthy food and drink while we're doing everyday things like watching our favourite TV shows, visiting cinemas, going to our favourite club, etc.
Every time you go to the movies do you habitually order a large popcorn, ice-cream, large coke, bag of lollies or chocolates before sitting down? Or can you watch your favourite soap opera without a cup of coffee or tea and a few chocolate biscuits?
If the answer is yes and no respectively, you could have some unhealthy food associations that could be making you heavier or preventing you from losing weight.
Weight loss Tip 7 - Riding in the Wind
If you often fail to go on planned bicycle rides because it's too windy, reconsider.
If it's windy outside, it does make it harder to ride our bikes, particularly heading directly into a strong wind. But for those of us who want to lose weight, this is actually a good thing because the harder we are forced to work, the more calories we'll burn each minute!
Just be sure not to try to maintain the same speed you were doing with the wind when you're against it, you may get your heart rate a bit higher than is absolutely necessary.
Just slow down a little and enjoy the ride (as best you can under the circumstances!).
Weight loss Tip 8- Water
Get into the habit of carrying a bottle of water with you wherever you go.
Keeping water handy will help keep you sufficiently hydrated and will help stop you reaching for the closest thing available when you inevitably become thirsty, such as carbonated drinks full of sugar or coffee, which actually causes further dehydration.
It's a well documented fact that many of us often mistake hunger for thirst and actually eat unnecessary calories when we are actually thirsty. When we are well hydrated, we're also less likely to overeat when we do sit down at the table.
Weight loss Tip 9 - Weekend
If you're a weekend food binger, plan ahead to make sure you have plenty of healthier snacking options in the house.
For example, pre-prepare some air-popped popcorn, mix up a blend of your favourite unsalted nuts, have some low fat yogurts ready to go in the fridge and try adding a dash of cordial to carbonated mineral water instead of drinking high sugar colas, etc.
Weight loss Tip 10 - Restaurant Menus
Opt for lighter choices once in a while at restaurants.
Many restaurants have lighter options on their menus these days, some have low-fat options and some have even jumped on the low-carb band wagon and offer low-carb options.
Whenever you're sitting in a restaurant looking through the menu, ask yourself if a lighter option would be a better choice. Where possible choose steamed, poached, boiled or baked foods rather than those that have been fried or deep fried.
Weight loss Tip 11 - Fat Sugar and Salt
Try to reduce the Fat, Sugar and Salt in your diet.
Diets high in fat and sugar are typically also very high in kilojoules or calories which when combined with low levels of exercise or activity can contribute greatly to us being overweight.
In addition, excessive levels of fat, sugar and salt in our diets have been shown to contribute to a variety of serious health conditions.
Foods that are 'low in fat' have 3g or less fat per 100g. Drinks low in fat have 1.5ml or less per 100ml.
Foods 'low in sugar' have 5g or less per 100g and drinks low in sugar have 2.5g or less per 100ml.
Foods 'low in salt' have 120mg or less per 100g.
While all the foods we eat won't have levels of fat, sugar and salt as low as this, these measures can be useful when we are comparing food options.
Weight loss Tip 12 - Workout buddy
Join a gym or hire a personal trainer with a friend. Joining a gym or hiring a personal trainer with a friend has many advantages.
Foremost among these advantages are that you'll have a workout buddy, who can keep you motivated and keep you company while you get used to the gym environment and exercising regularly, and you'll save money because most gyms and personal trainers offer discounts when you join or train with a friend.
Just be careful to make sure that both of you are as committed to exercise as each other and be prepared for the time when your workout buddy isn't able, or doesn't want to, workout any more or as regularly as you do.
Hopefully by the time this happens (if it happens at all), you'll have made new friends at the gym or enjoy exercising so much that you are motivated and happy enough to do it on your own or find a new workout buddy.
Weight loss Tip 13 - Challange Yourself
Participate in a weight loss challenge.
Getting yourself a diet buddy or buddies and setting yourself a 12 week weight loss goal is a great way to lose weight.
Losing weight when you've got someone else to compete against will give you extra motivation and help you to stay on track.
The members of the Weightloss Forum currently have such challenges which you can participate in simply by registering as a member of the forum, which is totally free.
Weight loss Tip 14- Walk for 30 mins
Walk for a ½ hour instead of watching TV.
Some people believe that watching TV is a great way to wind-down after a hard day and doing exercise is often the last thing on their minds.
But going for a half-hour or hours walk instead of plonking down in front of the TV can help you de-stress, clear your mind and set you up for a relaxing evening and a great night's sleep.
You can make the walk even better if you take your partner, children or dog with you.
Weight loss Tip 15 - Share With a Friend
Share an entree or dessert with a friend.
Many of us put on weight because we make careless or unconscious eating decisions, like automatically ordering an entree or dessert while at a restaurant.
Most restaurants main meals are already too big and as well as eating them, many of us eat entrees and/or desserts as well.
If this sounds like you, start sharing your entree or dessert with a friend and your waist-line will thank you.
Weight loss Tip 16 - Alternate your Exercise Routine
Vary your exercise.
In addition to helping us avoid boredom, adding variety to our exercise program actually helps us lose more weight and become fitter.
When we perform the same exercises at the same intensity, our bodies get used to our routine and stops responding. Muscles only get stronger when they need to adapt. By changing exercises and the order in which we do them, we keep our body guessing and force it to respond and adapt.
Weight loss Tip 17 - How Fit Are You
To get a an idea of your fitness level before starting a new exercise program, try running or walking for 12 minutes and see how far you get.
If you can walk or run 1.6 kilometres in 12 minutes or less, then you're in decent shape. Most beginners won't make it this far in under 12 minutes, so don't be too hard on yourself if you don't.
Beginners should start out at a comfortable pace and increase their speed as their fitness improves.
Weight loss Tip 18 - Eat Leaner Red Meat & Poultry.
Fat contains 37 kilojoules (9 calories) per gram while protein and carbohydrates only contain around 17 kilojoules (4 calories) per gram so it makes sense to try to reduce the amount of dietary fat in our diets if we are trying to lose weight.
One relatively simple way of doing this is to eat the leanest red meat and poultry available to us.
As well as buying the leanest meat and poultry we can in the first place, we can also trim off any access fat from our cuts of meat and remove any skin from our poultry.
Weight loss Tip 19 - Portion Control
One of the reasons many of us are putting on weight year after year is that we have lost all sense of correct portion sizes.
Because most meals served in restaurants and at home are much larger than we actually need to maintain a healthy body weight, some people use a very simple technique to successfully lose weight and keep it off – they only eat half of what is on their plate!
Could this work for you?
Weight loss Tip 20 - Walk during your lunch break.
For most of us our lunch break is an ideal time to go for a walk but many people miss this opportunity to build their fitness, relieve stress and burn precious extra calories.
If you aren't motivated enough to go walking alone, organise a walking group among your colleagues, you're sure to find other people who want to get fitter and lose a little weight.
Weight loss Tip 21- Increase your Incidental Exercise
Park your car further away from the shops and walk.
Increasing the amount of incidental exercise we do each day is one of the secrets to successful weight loss. By parking further away from the shops than you normally would you'll force yourself to increase the number of steps you take in a day which will help burn off extra calories and help improve your fitness.
Weight loss Tip 22 - Be Realistic
Set Realistic Goals. Successful weight loss doesn't happen overnight, it takes months and years, not days and weeks.
Concentrate more on changing your habits than you do on what your bathroom scales say and with time what they tell you will start to reflect the changes you've made in your life.
Weight loss Tip 23 - Clean Out Your Cupboards!
Don't Keep Goodies You Can't Resist In The Cupboard.
Keeping chocolates, lollies, soft drink and other tempting goodies in your cupboards makes eating them inevitable.
Even people with very strong will power have moments of weakness from time to time and if we've got a lot of weight to lose, will power is not likely to be one of our strong points.
Clean your cupboards out (including those nooks and crannies where you've got an emergency stash of chocolate hidden!).
What you'll find if you do is that when you go looking for goodies to satisfy a craving you'll be forced to eat a healthier option which in time will become your new habit.
And remember; there are plenty of shops full of goodies that will still be there when you're ready to eat them in moderation again.
Weight loss Tip 24 - Support
Have A Support System In Place To Help You Stay Honest.
Because dieting is a day to day challenge it becomes easy to feel lonely. At the end of the day, dieting is one of those things that no one can do for you but they can help; particularly if they are dieting themselves or have successfully dieted in the past.
Having a support system can take many forms including family and friends you trust, work colleagues or fellow dieters on a weight loss forum like ours.
Sometimes having a solid support system is the only way to make it through a tough day.
If you've been obsessing over a particular food or you're tempted to eat for reasons other than being hungry, a telephone call, an email or writing a post on a forum may be just the way for you to regain control.
Weight loss Tip 25 - Eat More Than Just Three Meals A Day
If you've ever dieted before you'll know that 3 meals a day just doesn't cut it; particularly when the new diet severely restricts calories.
When we restrict calories, our body senses it and slows down our metabolism (the rate at which it burns energy) to compensate. One way of overcoming this is to eat smaller meals more frequently, say every two or three hours or five to six times per day.
Weight loss Tip 26 - Pre-Plan All Of Your Meals
There's an old saying in business "Plan the work - work the plan".
This saying is just as applicable to successful dieting as it is to successful business.
By pre-planning and where possible pre-preparing your meals, you'll find those times when you're in a situation where you're tempted just to grab a quick take away and set your diet back weeks will almost disappear.
Weight loss Tip 27- Keeping a Diary
Keep A Food Diary Or Weight Loss Diary.
Keeping a log of what you eat, when and why you eat it allows you to look at the big picture and learn more about your eating habits.
Be sure to write down as much information as possible and use the knowledge you gain to plan ahead and change your daily eating habits for good.
Weight loss Tip 28 - Ask Your Waiter
When Eating Out, Don't Be Afraid To Ask For What You Need.
In the future, restaurants are going to be forced to make their mainstream menus much healthier as more and more of us become increasingly conscious and knowledgeable about good nutrition and demand to be offered healthier food choices. Until then it's going to be up to us individually to speak up and ask for what we want.
Luckily, most restaurants are getting used to adapting their food to the dietary needs of their patrons. Most waiters don't even batter an eyelid when someone requests an entrée sized meal as their main, their salad dressing on the side, or their fish steamed instead of pan-fried.
Weight loss Tip 29- Shopping
Shop With A List And Shop The Perimeter.
Have you ever noticed that in every supermarket you've visited, regardless of its banner, that the staple products, like bread, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy (notice that most of these are unprocessed) are situated around the perimeter while products like chocolate, soft drinks, potato chips, biscuits, lollies and the like are in the aisles near the centre of the supermarket.
This being the case, those of us watching our weight should do most of our shopping around the outside of the supermarket and only venture into the inner sanctum for other essential items. We just need to be aware that some of those essential items will be strategically placed right next to the chocolate bars and this is where our shopping list comes in.
Once you have your shopping list, only buy things that are on it and nothing else.
Weight loss Tip 30 - Don't Be Obsessed By The Number
Look To The Mirror And How Clothes Fit Instead Of Scales. Let's face it, how we look and feel is what matters most.
Don't get too caught up on what you weigh. Scales don't differentiate between body fat and muscle (even those fancy ones that purport to do so) and body weight is only one of the measures that can provide us with feedback about our progress.
So what if you've only dropped a kilo or two, or even weigh the same as you did when you started! The important thing is, do you look and feel better?
Weight loss Tip 31- Eat Meals On Smaller Plates.
Getting used to eating smaller portions is often more important that getting used to eating healthier foods when it comes to weight loss.
Two simple ways to reduce our portion sizes are to leave some of the food on our plates uneaten or to eat everything on a smaller plate.
Because some of us can't stand leaving food on our plate the best option is usually the smaller plate.
Weight loss Tip 32 - Plateau
Keep Going... Plateaus Happen!
Our bodies don't like dramatic change.
Thousands of years of evolution have taught our bodies that dramatic weight loss is a bad thing and it has automatic responses designed to minimise the damage.
Most people do notice immediate results when they first start a diet. Inevitably, these results drop off sharply after a few days or weeks.
Weight fluctuation is quite normal and sometimes our body just needs to get used to the idea of being at a new weight, even if it is a healthier one.
Above all else, persistence and consistency are the most important aspects of any weight loss program or diet. If you experience a plateau, don't waste your time worrying about it, just stick with your program and try mixing things up a bit and you'll get there.
Weight loss Tip 33 - Inspire Yourself
Tape a picture of your skinny self to the refrigerator for inspiration. To remind yourself what you can look like.
Weight loss Tip 34 - Dressing Tip
To make a delicious low fat mayonnaise, simply combine one teaspoon Dijon mustard or one teaspoon of satay sauce with a low fat yoghurt.
Weight loss Tip 35 - Sweet Craving
When you get a sweet tooth or feel like something you know you shouldn't, go brush your teeth.
Even if you do go ahead and eat you won't like the taste as much and it may stop you from craving it again in the future.
Weight loss Tip 36 - Negative Calorie Food
If you're having problems dropping the kilos, consume Negative Calorie Foods. These are foods that take up more caloric energy to digest then the calories that are in them.
Foods that are claimed to be negative in calories are mostly low-calorie fruits and vegetables such as celery. grapefruit, lemon, lime, apple, lettuce, celery, broccoli and cabbage. The only truly negative calorie beverage is ice water, which has no calories but requires the body to expend some energy to raise the liquid to body temperature.
Your body has to expend energy in order to digest and absorb foods, in fact, 10% of your daily caloric intake is used to process foods in your body. So these "negative" calorie foods are foods that take more calories to digest then actual calories in the item of food.
Weight loss Tip 37 - Tired When Exercising
If you're overweight and start to feel tired while walking or you find yourself with a hill to climb, do what I do:
Think about what you've done to yourself through neglect and bad living. Get angry with yourself, and speed up while you're going up that hill (don't run). You'll find that you get to the top quicker that way.
Walk down the other side with your head up high. You did it. Watch out world - nothing can stop you now!
Weight loss Tip 38 - Go Dancing
Dancing is a great form of exercise because it's fun and doesn't feel like exercise at all. Best of all you'll burn plenty of calories, get fitter and meet lots of new friends.
Check out our directory to find a dance class in your state.
Weight loss Tip 39 - Ride your Bike to Work
If you don't have time to exercise outside of working hours this is a great way to get your daily does of fat burning activity.
Because you'll be planning your day ahead on the way there and planning your evening on the way home you probably won't even realize that you're exercising and the time will fly.
If riding to and from work is a bit much to begin with, catch a train to work with your bike and ride home.
Weight loss Tip 40 - Workout at Home
Buy some exercise DVD's to keep at home and use them on rainy days.
Exercise DVD's are very cost effective and are very convenient because you can use them at any time that suits you.
Weight loss Tip 41 - Negotiate With Yourself
If you are going to have a treat, work out how much exercise you need to do to burn it off and only have that treat if you are willing to do the exercise.
Weight loss Tip 42 - Stop Sabotaging Your Potential for Change
We subconsciously use defense mechanisms to shield us from situations
we perceive to be scary or painful. A part of you may want to grow and change,
but another part may be resisting because change always moves you into new
territory in your thinking and emotions.
If you find you are getting anxious, fearful, angry, frustrated, dismissive or unmotivated, then defense mechanisms are at work. Watch for them and know them to be signs of fear that wants to hold you back. Then courageously move through them.
Weight loss Tip 43 - Emotional Eating
Recognizing emotional hunger (as apposed to real physical hunger) is one of the keys to overcoming or staving off frequent emotional eating.
Some of the characteristics of emotional hunger include:
* Emotional hunger comes on suddenly.
* One minute you're not hungry at all and the next minute you're starving.
* Emotional hunger often craves specific food, like pizza, chocolate, or a cheeseburger.
* Emotional hunger begins in the mouth and the mind, not the stomach.
* Emotional hunger often accompanies an unpleasant emotion.
* Emotional hunger involves automatic or absent-minded eating.
* Emotional hunger isn't satisfied when you're full.
* Emotional hunger makes you feel guilty.
Weight loss Tip 44- Keep the Faith
Keep believing in yourself.
You are in control and have the power to make changes in your life.
Weight loss Tip 45 - Moods
Develop new mood regulation strategies.
For example, share your problems when anxious and exercise when you're bored.
Weight loss Tip 46 - High Fibre
Try to eat more foods that are high in fibre.
Research shows that people who have diets high in fibre typically have lower body weights, lower body fat and lower body mass indexes.
Some researchers believe that the high incidences of obesity in the western world is in part due to the fact that our diets are typically very low in fibre compared to other regions of the world such as Africa and Asia, where diets are predominantly plant based.
Weight loss Tip 47- Fruit vs Fruit Juice
Where possible, eat whole fruits instead of drinking fruit juices.
Many fruits have most of their goodness in the skin which isn't always used in making fruit juice.
Weight loss Tip 48 - Whole Grains
Replace white rice, bread, and pasta with brown rice and whole-grain products.
These products are less refined than their white counterparts and often have much more fibre in them which is digested slower, keeps us feeling fuller longer and releases its energy slower which keep our blood sugar levels even and helps us avoid cravings.
Weight loss Tip 49 - Deal With Your Emotions
If you internalize hurt and rely on food to deal with negative emotions, don't swallow your emotions for the sake of sparing others from getting upset.
If they've upset you, let them know about it and tell them that you won't tolerate that kind of behaviour in the future
Weight loss Tip 50 - No One Is Perfect
Love yourself for who you are and forget about trying to be perfect.

Property Setter and Getter Methods
Set and Get Methods for Dependent Properties
Set and Get Method Execution and Property Events
Access Methods and Subscripted Reference and Assignment
Property access methods execute specific code whenever the associated property's value is referenced or assigned a new value. These methods enable you to perform a variety of operations:
Execute code before assigning property values to perform actions such as:
Impose value range restrictions (Restricting Properties to Specific Values)
Check for proper types and dimensions
Provide error handling
Execute code before returning the current values of properties to perform actions such as:
Calculate the value of properties that do not store values (for an example, see Using a Dependent Property)
Change the value of other properties
Trigger events (for an example, see Defining and Triggering an Event)
Property access methods execute automatically whenever you set or query the corresponding property values from outside the access method. MATLAB® never calls the set method for a property of a particular class if the property value is set from within that set method. Similarly, the get method for a property of a particular class is never called if the property is queried from within that get method.
You can define property access methods only:
For concrete properties (that is, properties that are not abstract)
Within the class that defines the property (unless the property is abstract in that class, in which case the concrete subclass must define the access method).
MATLAB has no default set or get property access methods. Therefore, if you do not define property access methods, MATLAB software does not invoke any methods before assigning or returning property values.
Once defined, only the set and get methods can set and query the actual property values. See Set Method Behavior for information on cases where MATLAB does not call property set methods.
Note: Property set and get access methods are not equivalent to user-callable set and get methods used to set and query property values from an instance of the class. See Implementing a Set/Get Interface for Properties for information on user-callable set and get methods.
You can set and get property values only from within your property set or get access method. You cannot call another function from the set or get method and attempt to access the property value from that function.
For example, an anonymous function that calls another function to do the actual work cannot access the property value. Similarly, an ordinary access function cannot call another function to access the property value.
Access methods have special names that include the property's name. Therefore, get.PropertyName executes whenever PropertyName is referenced and set.PropertyName executes whenever PropertyName is assigned a new value.
Define property access methods in a methods block that specifies no attributes. You cannot call these methods, MATLAB calls them when any code accesses the properties. Therefore, property access methods do not appear in the list of class methods returned by the methods command and are not included in the meta.class object's Methods property. However, the meta.property object's SetMethod property contains a function handle to the property's set method and the GetMethod property contains a function handle to the property's get method.
For example, if the class myClass defines a set function for its Text property, you can obtain a function handle to this method from the meta.class object:
m = ?myClass; m.Properties{1}.SetMethod % Assuming Text is the first property in the cell array ans = @\mydir\@myClass\myClass.m>myClass.set.Text % This is a function handle
The meta.class object (m) contains meta.property objects corresponding to each class property in its Properties property. This example assumes that the Text property corresponds to the first meta.property object in the cell array of meta.property objects. The order of the class properties in the meta.class Properties property is the same as the order in which the class definition defines the properties.
Class Metadata provides more information on using meta-classes.
Function handles discusses the use of function handles.
Property set methods have the following syntax, where PropertyName is the name of the property.
methods % No method attributes function obj = set.PropertyName(obj,value) % Value class end
Here obj is the object whose property is being assigned a value and value is the new value that is assigned to the property.
Value class set functions must return the object with the new value for the property assigned. Value classes replace the object whose property is being assigned with the object returned by the set method. Handle classes do not need to return the modified object.
methods % No method attributes function set.PropertyName(obj,value) % Handle class end
The property set method can perform actions like error checking on the input value before taking whatever action is necessary to store the new property value.
function obj = set.PropertyName(obj,value) if ~(value > 0) error('Property value must be positive') else obj.PropertyName = value; end end
See Restricting Properties to Specific Values for an example of a property set method.
If a property set method exists, MATLAB calls it whenever a value is assigned to that property. However, MATLAB does NOT call property set methods in the following cases:
Assigning a value to a property from within its own property set method, which prevents recursive calling of the set method
Specifying default values in class definitions do not invoke the set method
Assigning a property to its default value, which is specified in the class definition
Copying a value object (that is, not derived from the handle class). Neither the set or get method is called when copying property values from one object to another.
Assigning a property value that is the same as the current value when the property's AbortSet attribute is true does not call the property's set method. See Aborting Set When Value Does Not Change for more information on this attribute.
When assigning a property value, the calling function's copy of the object that has been passed to the set method reflects the changed value. Therefore, an assignment to even a single property is able to affect the whole object. This behavior enables a set method to change other properties in the object as well as its designated property.
For example, a graphics window object can have a Units property and a Size property. Changing the Units property can also require a change to the values of the Size property to reflect the new units.
MATLAB calls a property's get method whenever the property value is queried. For example, passing a property value in the following statement causes the method get.XYData to execute, if it exists.
Property get methods have the following syntax, where PropertyName is the name of the property. The function must return the property value.
methods % No method attributes function value = get.PropertyName(obj) end
MATLAB does NOT call property get methods in the following cases:
Getting a property value from within its own property get method, which prevents recursive calling of the get method
Copying a value object (that is, not derived from the handle class). Neither the set or get method is called when copying property values from one object to another.
Dependent properties do not store data because the value of a dependent property depends on the current state of something else, like a concrete property value. Dependent properties must define a get method to determine the value for the property, when queried.
Typically, the property get method queries other property values to determine what value to return for the dependent property.
For example, the Account class returns a value for the dependent Balance property that depends on the value of the Currency property. The get.Balance method queries the Currency property before calculating a value for the Balance property.
MATLAB calls the get.Balance method when the Balance property is queried. You cannot call get.Balance explicitly.
Here is a partial listing of the class showing a dependent property and its get method:
classdef Account properties Currency DollarAmount end properties (Dependent) Balance end ... methods function value = get.Balance(obj) c = obj.Currency; switch c case 'E' v = obj.DollarAmount / 1.3; case 'P' v = obj.DollarAmount / 1.5; otherwise v = obj.DollarAmount; end format bank value = v; end end end
One application of a property get method is to determine the value of a property only when you need it, and avoid storing the value. To use this approach, set the property's Dependent attribute to true:
properties (Dependent = true) PropertyName end
Now the get method for the PropertyName property determines the value of that property and assigns it to the object from within the method:
function value = get.PropertyName(obj) value = calculateValue; ... end
The get method calls a function or static method calculateValue to calculate the property value and returns value to the code accessing the property. The property get method can take whatever action is necessary within the method to produce the output value.
Using a Dependent Property provide an example of a property get method.
While a dependent property does not store its value, there are situations in which you might want to define a set method for a dependent property.
For example, suppose you have a class that changes the name of a property from OldPropName to NewPropName. You want to continue to allow the use of the old name without exposing it to new users. You can make OldPropName a dependent property with set and get methods as show in the following example:
properties NewPropName end properties (Dependent, Hidden) OldPropName end methods function obj = set.OldPropName(obj,val) obj.NewPropName = val; end function value = get.OldPropName(obj) value = obj.NewPropName; end end
There is no memory wasted by storing both old and new property values, and code that accesses OldPropName continues to work as expected.
It is sometimes useful for a set method of a dependent property to assign values to other properties of the object. Assignments made from property set methods cause the execution of any set methods defined for those properties. See Using a Dependent Property for an example.
If you use a dependent property only to return a value, then do not define a set access method for the dependent property. Instead, set the SetAccess attribute of the dependent property to private. For example, consider the following get method for the MaxValue property:
methods function mval = get.MaxValue(obj) mval = max(obj.BigArray(:)); end end
This example uses the MaxValue property to return a value that it calculates only when queried. For this application, define the MaxValue property as dependent and private:
properties (Dependent, SetAccess = private) MaxValue end
MATLAB software generates events before and after set and get operations. You can use these events to inform listeners that property values have been referenced or assigned. The timing of event generation is as follows:
PreGet — Triggered before calling the property get method
PostGet — Triggered after the property get method has returned its value
If a class computes a property value (Dependent = true), then the behaviors of its set events are like the get events:
PreSet — Triggered before calling the property set method
PostSet — Triggered after calling the property set method
If a property is not computed (Dependent = false, the default), then the assignment statement with the set method generates the events:
PreSet — Triggered before assigning the new property value within the set method
PostSet — Triggered after assigning the new property value within the set method
Events and Listeners — Concepts provides general information about events and listeners.
Creating Property Listeners provides information about using property events.
The PostSet Event Listener shows an example of a property listener.
Create a Property Set Listener is another example that uses property events.
Use subscripting as a way to reference or assign property values (that is, a = obj.prop(6) or obj.prop(6) = a) without interfering with property set and get methods. When using subscripted reference, the get method returns the whole property value and MATLAB accesses the value referenced by subscripting that object.
For subscripted assignment, MATLAB:
Invokes the get method to get the property value
Performs the subscripted assignment into the returned property
Passes the new property value to the set method
MATLAB always passes scalar objects to set and get methods. When reference or assignment occurs on an object array, the set and get methods are called in a loop.
See Assigning to Read-Only Properties Containing Objects for related information.
Property access methods are useful in cases where you want to perform some additional steps before assigning or returning a property value. For example, the Testpoint class uses a property set method to check the range of a value. It then applies scaling if it is within a particular range, and set it to NaN if it is not.
The property get methods applies a scale factor before returning its current value:
classdef Testpoint properties expectedResult = []; end properties(Constant) scalingFactor = 0.001; end methods function obj = set.expectedResult(obj,erIn) if erIn >= 0 && erIn <= 100 erIn = erIn.*obj.scalingFactor; obj.expectedResult = erIn; else obj.expectedResult = NaN; end end function er = get.expectedResult(obj) er = obj.expectedResult/obj.scalingFactor; end end end

More things I can put perfume in? awesome
I'm not just putting lavender oil in them as a natural fragrance, I'm putting in truffle oil and oakmoss and jasmine wax and benzoin and juniper tar.... endless possibilities of strangeness and I just can't stop.
Running out of containers and hoping not to get burned out... no pun intended.
Well I have two more candles in my shop now - Moss and Ivy and Cabin Fever. These are both dark and earthy and woodsy, in different ways. Moss and Ivy is the forest in the spring, Cabin Fever is the autumn. Both at the same time are nice too ;)
More eccentricities in my shop
I am always so relieved when I have been thinking about putting things in my shop for so long and it finally happens. A month or two feels like forever to me... I guess thats what happens when you work 60+ hours a week. I love what I do but I need a vacation! aka another photographic adventure...

With gas and airline ticket prices on the rise, and no let-up in sight, we keep hearing it again and again on the news: people are trading in their summer vacation travel plans this year for a "stay-cation": staying at home during their time off.Still, many of us wish we could escape to the beach this summer, and you're probably no different. What to do? Well, for less than the cost of an SUV's full tank of gas, you can get a season set DVD from one of your favorite beach-side TV shows, and enjoy the summer experience vicariously!Lots of shows, in different styles, take place on the sand. If you're into crime-busting, for example, you can enjoy DVD releases of old classics like Hawaii Five-O or newer fare such as C.S.I.: Miami. Of course, many guys (and gals) are interested in the surfside eye candy, and nothing fits that bill more than one of the guiltiest pleasures every made for the small screen: Baywatch!Buy Hawaii Five-O - Season 1 on Amazon.comBuy C.S.I.: Miami - Season 5 on A...

Definitions for ionization chamber
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word ionization chamber
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
ioniza′tion cham`ber(n.)
an apparatus for detecting and analyzing ionizing radiation by measuring current between electrodes in a vessel filled with a gas at normal or lower than normal pressure.
Category: Physics
Origin of ionization chamber:
Princeton's WordNet
ionization chamber, ionization tube(noun)
a measuring instrument that measures the amount of ionizing radiation
Ionization chamber
The ionization chamber is the simplest of all gas-filled radiation detectors, and is widely used for the detection and measurement of certain types of ionizing radiation; X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles. Conventionally, the term "ionization chamber" is used exclusively to describe those detectors which collect all the charges created by direct ionisation within the gas through the application of an electric field. It only uses the discrete charges created by each interaction between the incident radiation and the gas, and does not involve the gas multiplication mechanisms used by other radiation instruments, such as the Geiger-Muller counter or the proportional counter. Ion chambers have a good uniform response to radiation over a wide range of energies and are the preferred means of measuring high levels of gamma radiation. They are widely used in the nuclear power industry, research labs, radiography and other medical radiation fields, and in environmental monitoring.

Top Local Tips for Bremen
Trams The hotel provides you with free public transport. The tram system is outside and the hotel and easy to use.
The Ratskeller on the Am Markt This was a great restaurant, located in the basement of the early-Bremen city hall building. They have a wonderful menu of German (with some international and vegetarian) cuisine at it's best. Top quality fare - cooked with passion - and friendly on the wallet. We went there almost every day. It's a generously sized restaurant, so if you want a quiet intimate dinner, it's best to reserve the small side compartments that are good for up to six people.
how to get there Catch the tram from the airport to the hotel and back, it will only cost 2.20E each to get there and nothing to get back with the free transportation ticket provided by the hotel. The tram ticket machine has an English option so it is really easy to get your ticket. The ticket machine also takes notes.

Array Dereferencing is really very good feature added in PHP 5.4. With this you can directly access an array object directly of a method a functions.
Now we can say that no more temporary variables in php now. This is becasue earlier we must have to take array in one variable then we can make further process on that array. Have a look at below example for what we were doing before PHP 5.4.
// now we want to get second element
$tmp = explode(" ",$string);
echo $tmp[1]; // Expert
Now have a look at code block for how we can achieve this without temporary varibale:
// now we want to get second element
echo explode(" ",$string)[1]; // Expert
Isn't it really helpful??
No more temporary variables with arrays now!!!
Now have a look at be other benefetits of Array Dereferencing in PHP 5.4
As as above code you can deal with functions call also.
return array("Hello","Expert","Developer");
// Now to get "Expert"
echo return_array()[1]; // Expert
For full list of Features included in PHP 5.4, have a look at this article.

Invest in Human Capital (Editorial)
Posted 4/15/2013 12:00 am
This week's issue is dedicated to the topic of Arkansas' workforce. It's a big topic and we've only scratched at it, but there's enough to be able to make this statement: While the unemployment rate remains higher than anyone would like, there are good jobs going unfilled.
The lack of human capital is as detrimental to a business that wants to grow as the lack of financial capital. Employees sometimes think it's just cheerleader talk, but business executives know that people — the right people — really are the key to business success.
Meanwhile, at the Arkansas General Assembly, yet another attempt to continue the education of the children of illegal immigrants died in committee. Youngsters who were brought to our state through no fault of their own and who have been ours to educate K-12 were once again told that our colleges and universities can't consider them to be Arkansans.
It reminded us of a comment by former state Rep. Bob McGinnis of Marianna to an audience in northwest Arkansas more than 10 years ago:
"Educate your minorities. Don't make the same mistake we did in east Arkansas. We didn't, and now we can't attract any industry because we don't have an educated workforce."
His words were uncomfortably paternalistic and not altogether true; the Delta is attracting industry, in part because of renewed efforts at education over the past decade. But it is still good advice that we wish the Legislature would heed. Punishing students for the misdeeds of their parents is a textbook example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Immigration reform is coming from Washington, as the Republican Party can read exit polls and demographic trends. And when it arrives, Arkansas will have already missed several chances to get ahead of the trend. Some things, unfortunately, never change.

Labor unions formed to guarantee Americans' workplace rights. We now have laws protecting workers, so do we need unions?
The reason for the over the top regulations about who can plug in a plug or flip a switch is due to the corporations trying to leverage every loophole into cost savings.
It sure is funny how the corporations use their own brand of propaganda. I was recently terminated from one of those companies and they have been going more and more to part time associates and finding ways to get rid of full time long term employees. I think if we had had a union, I wouldn't have had times when I nearly wet myself because as a cashier, I couldn't get anyone to watch to register so that I could go to the restroom. That was because they have gone to a computerized scheduling system that does not schedule enough cashiers, or other associates either.

|Release date
Single-player, Multiplayer
Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment (ソードアート・オンライン -ホロウ・フラグメント-, Sōdoāto Onrain -Horō Furagumento-?) is a Role-Playing Game (RPG) developed by Namco Bandai Games for the PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) as the second game adaption on console for the series. It is set in an alternative Sword Art Online storyline, just like Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment. The game was released on April 24, 2014 in Japan.[1] It is rated "C" based on the CERO rating in Japan, [† 1][2]. Its rating in Europe, however, is PEGI-12[† 2][3]. An English version of the game was released to North America on August 19, 2014[4] and to Europe and Australia on August 20, 2014[5], exclusively on the PlayStation Store for PS Vita[† 3].
Hollow Fragment is divided into two parts. The first is the "floor clearing" chapter, which is basically the previous game, Infinity Moment, embedded into this game. The second is a new "Hollow Area" chapter, which includes parts that allow multiplayer gaming and includes new stories, as described below officially, which involves «Laughing Coffin» and a new orange player character, Philia.
The Floor Clearing part's story would mostly be same as the story of the previous game, with the exception of Sinon, Leafa and Strea appearing in the game early during the process of the clearing of the 76th Floor, the appearance of Yuuki after clearing this part of story for the first time, and some new scenes for characters that are only in this game, but not the prior one.
- For various Sword Skills in the game, see Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment/Sword Skills
Hollow Fragment's gameplay system is similar to the Infinity Moment's gameplay system. However, a burst gauge, which allows continuous attacks as long as the player has enough burst energy left, was added to its battle system. There is also a risk meter next to it, which increases whenever enemies target or attack the player, or whenever the player attacks them. The higher the risk, the longer it will take for the player's burst gauge to be replenished. Risk can be lowered by pressing the burst attack button at the right moment, dodging at the right moment or switching. Also, the system allows each player to create their own non-player character to battle alongside with, as well as linking up with a maximum of 4 other players who are playing the game on the PlayStation Vita to play the game simultaneously, allowing players to form their own raid teams. An added region called the «Hollow Area» was designated for such multiplayer gameplay.
As for the game's battle system, while it is defaulted to the automatic attack system in previous game, players can also switch to a manual attack system upon their desire.[citation needed]

- Kibaou
- Yuuki (Konno Yuuki) - Would only appear after the game's floor-clearing part was cleared at least once.'
- More than 100 other characters that can be interacted with.[6]
Hollow AreaEdit
The region mainly consists of six areas, as shown in the map. There are also other hidden areas which can be explored, and several more areas will be available with a DLC that will be released later.
- This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
Hollow Area Bosses
- Introduction : Hollow Deadening Reaper
- 1st Area - Sea of Trees Area : The Shadow Phantasm
- 2nd Area - Floating Rock Area : Zordiath the Blade Dragon
- 3rd Area - Bay Area : Detonator the Kobold Lord
- 4th Area - Void Area : The Hollowreaper
- 5th Area - Outer World Area : Amedister The Queen
- Final Area - Control Area : Occuldion the Eclipse
- Final Boss : «Hollow» Kirito
Original Sword SkillEdit
An Original Sword Skill System is included in this game, but it completely differs from the Original Sword Skill system that appeared in ALfheim Online in the original series. The system in Hollow Fragment is more similar to Kirito's Outside System Skill, «Skill Connect».
Unlock RequirementEdit
Players need to first complete a task, called «Implementation of OSS that links multiple Sword Skills» (ソードスキル多重連携OSS仕様の実装, Sōdo Sukiru Tajū Renkei OSS Shiyō no Jissō?), in the "Implement Element" system that researches the possibility of implementing multiple attacks with Sword Skills. The mission can be completed by using Sword Skills 1,000 times during Hollow Missions, in order to allow players to create and record their own Sword Skills in the Administrative region. There are also sub-tasks that could be completed to increase the maximum amount of Sword Skills that can be connected together at a time.[7]
Content InheritanceEdit
Infinity MomentEdit
- The player's skill proficiency and skill points: a certain value of proficiency point can be carried over. The proficiency portion of skill points can be possessed.
- The player's character's skill combination (learn/palette): will be reset, but some skill points would be given.
- The player's character's equipment and belongings: only those equipped will be transferred.
- Other players' AI info: inherited directly
- Heroines' AI info: inherited directly
- Gallery: inherited directly
- Remains heart: the possessed portion will be inherited (max. nine)
- Bonus obtained from clearance of the previous game: if users transferred from a cleared game save, an accessory would be given.[8]
After the game launched, updates have been released every week in term of free DLC that provide extra costume/weapon and similar items, with details listed on the official site in Japanese.
A free major update, named as Shining Successor (皇輝の継承者?) (v. 1.05), has been released by July 10, 2014 for the Japanese version. The update includes the introduction of the Grand Quest, the ability to partner with Argo and date with Sachi, the introduction of new volcano and snowy mountain areas, as well as the garden area and harder bosses, the availability of legendary weapons, and a level cap raise to level 250. The update will also include usability and game balance adjustment, increase of treasure, hollow missions, and the payback of doing missions. Furthermore, more than 120 new equipment will be released, more information will come from Argo, some areas will be expanded, the OSS system will be improved, the ability to show the difference of daytime/nighttime will be available, the addition of CG scenes, the addition of warp point for some floors in the Hidden Area of the Hollow Area, and so on. These would add ~30 hours playtime to the game. The update would be available for the Asian version by July or August, and the Western version as a free DLC starting September 23[9].
A Sword Art Online -Hollow Fragment- Soundtrack is bundled with the game's limited edition.

Just like the previous game Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment, Hollow Fragment features multiple endings for the floor-clearing part. Most of the endings are the same as in Infinity Moment, with the exception of the duel against Yuuki on the game's first clearance. The game also features an ending for Philia.
Adaption NotesEdit
- Compared to Infinity Moment:
- In Infinity Moment, Leafa and Sinon appeared after the clearance of the 76th Floor boss, and Strea appeared after the 79th Floor was reached, in this game Leafa, Sinon and Strea appeared soon after the clearing group reached the 76th Floor, before there was any progress on further clearing. Their appearance have also been simplified.
- Strea's changes happened later on Hollow Fragment compared to original Infinity Moment.
- The floor clearing part also include some new CG and/or plot for Philia, Sachi, Argo, PoH and Yuuki (after the end of first clearance and for re-clearance afterward) that is not found in Infinity Moment
- Addition of the Hollow Area region.
- Addition of Philia's ending.
- Compared to the original works:
- The duel between Heathcliff and Kirito, after the 75th Floor boss fight, was altered.
- Hollow Fragment began in December 2024, while, in original series, the game was cleared in early November 2024.
- Kayaba Akihiko committed suicide roughly at the time when the 75th Floor was cleared, instead of when the whole game was cleared.
- The ALfheim Online incident did not take place in this game and thus the game did lead to negative consequences on the VRMMO game industry.
- In the game, Asuna returned to the real world at the same time as the others and thus there was no one month agreement made by Keiko (Silica) and Rika (Lisbeth).
- The management of RECT, as well as RECT Progress, were not changed, aside from those who supported Sugou Nobuyuki being dismissed from the company.
- No publication of The Seed was observed and thus Gun Gale Online and Project Alicization might not have the base to start on.
- In Yui's ending, Kirito and Asuna were invited by Heathcliff to join ALfheim Online, with their SAO human-look avatars and their items from SAO conserved. Additionally, Yui was also restored in the form of a fairy in the game.
- Pina was transferred into Silica's NerveGear storage in Silica's ending.
- Kirito knew Yuuki if the player successfully beat Yuuki.
- The party held after SAO game was cleared also included Shino and Kotori (Philia) (when the Hollow Area part is cleared) in it.
- While it was not clearly stated, Shino's further schooling would most likely be affected.
- In the North American release, the game's events start on December 2021, as opposed to 2024 when «The Skull Reaper» was actually defeated.
- The North American/European release, as well as the English subtitled version of Asian release, of the game features numerous spelling and grammar issues that while the North American edition corrected some of them, there are still considerable amount of these issue exists in the North American/European edition.

Pregnant women are the target of a new whooping cough vaccination program on the Isle of Man. "We are offering the vaccination to women who are between 28 and 38 weeks of their pregnancy, to give their unborn baby the best protection," says Dr. Parameswaran Kishore, director of public health for the Isle of Man. Young babies are at the greatest risk of developing serious complications from whooping cough. There have been 11 reported cases of the disease on the island this year, but none involve infants. Nine have died in the United Kingdom from whooping cough in 2012, and the total number of cases so far this year is three times higher than for all of 2011. The cases are the Isle of Man's first since 2009. "It is vital that babies are protected from the day they are born," adds Kishore.

Hamas-CAIR is on a jihad to restrict free speech. They stalk me across the country, trying to bully and intimidate groups, hotels, and venues into cancelling me. These supremacist stalkers are on a jihad, but Americans are waking up to their subversive agenda. Here is an encouraging piece in the Baltimore Sun by Marta Mossburg, a respected journalist and a panel moderator at MDCAN conference last Saturday. This
oped piece ran in the Baltimore Sun, the same paper that ran Hamas-CAIR propaganda:
A controversial speaker's right to speak Marta H. Mossburg, Baltimore Sun (thanks to Catherine)
Group opposing Pamela Geller at MDCAN has a dark side — and a troubling desire to silence her
Maybe it was too nice out to protest. Or maybe no one cared what a few hundred conservatives were talking about in this one-party state. But only about 10 people convened Saturday with signs outside the DoubleTree Hotel in Annapolis to oppose Pamela Geller, best known for her opposition to the Ground Zero mosque and her ad campaigns linking the concept of jihad with mass murder. She was the opening speaker at the Maryland Conservative Action Network (MDCAN) conference held the same day at the hotel.
The non-event was called by the Maryland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations(CAIR). A statement on the group's Facebook page said, "We need to let the MDCAN and their Republican enablers to know that these purveyors of division and hate are not welcome in Annapolis. … Please join us in a public demonstration as we expose their ideas as simply divisive, hurtful and out-of-touch with mainstream America."
Ms. Geller is controversial. She believes that we are in the midst of a cultural war with the highest consequences, and she knows how to attract attention. She calls the media the "enemedia" and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg the "Ayatollah Bloomberg."

CAIR is nothing but a terrorist organization practicing taqiyya and tawriya, a doctrine that allows lying in virtually all circumstances.
Pamela is their worst nightmare. Go Superwoman!+3
The U.S. government's position is that you can talk all you want to. Just keep paying that income tax so they can fund the muslim brotherhood.+2
I don't know why we allow a terrorist organization like CAIR to exist in America.
Why are we so Hell-bent on suicide?+2
Death to islam!+1
Mossburg is right when she says, "If we are to defeat those who would annihilate us, we must be able to name them." That is why Bush's "War on Terror" was a loser from the get-go, and so is Obama's "Global Contingency Operation"; Terror is a tactic, a means to an end. Neither Bush nor Obama wants to fight, or call out, Islamism as the real enemy.+3

Taste Test: Best Cookout Condiments
Get the most out of your burgers and hot dogs by topping them with the best condiments on the market. Not sure which to buy? The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested 35 different ketchups, yellow and spicy brown mustards, and relishes to find the top picks for a backyard barbecue.
365 Ketchup
365 ketchup ($1.89 for 24 oz.) lost points for its the "harsh" acidity and overall "artificial" flavor, despite containing only natural ingredients. Tasters did appreciate its smooth, thick consistency.

The motion-sensing PlayStation Move-enabled game Joust has been cloned and the original devs aren't happy.
Cloning apps is a big problem on iOS, and one dev has gone public with its disapproval
Cloning apps is a big deal on iOS, and not new: one of the most popular first-person shooters on the platform – N.O.V.A – has been heavily compared to Halo due to its sci-fi shooter theme. It now seems app clones have become too prolific, as one developer has gone public with its lack of endorsement
That developer is Die Gute Fabrik, the developers of Joust, who said on its blog that it has never given a developer permissions to make a clone of any of its commercial products. It added it doesn't believe game mechanics should be copyright, though. The studio went on to say it has never asked a developer to pull an app; rather, it's up to the developer to decide when an app has copied too much from the source product. However, Fabrik did say that developers should be encouraged to be inspired by – not copy – elements from other games. Great games are great for a reason.
Protracted development time
The studio also answered fans' questions on the game's release date, which has been drawn out and largely quiet despite various codes being given out. The devs said on the blog discussions between it and publishers have been taking place in late last year, and the company is also looking to maintain full control of its intellectual property so it can make the game open source.
They added a publisher will help to widen the reach of the game; at the moment it feels fairly nicne, I think. If you're not part of gaming communities regularly reading websites and forums, I doubt you will have heard of it. And the PlayStation Move isn't the most popular motion-sensing peripheral either.
On a smartphone version, Fabrik said they have had discussions on a version and importantly do plan to do it. Considering we don't even have the console version yet, though, we may be waiting a while and the studio said it wants to explore numerous options before creating a prototype. No doubt that's a shot fired at the iPhone clone.

Design of Dynamics of a Recuperative Catalytic Combustor: Enhancement in Operation and Control
1Wroclaw University of Technology

Citation Information: Chemical Product and Process Modeling. Volume 4, Issue 2, ISSN (Online) 1934-2659, DOI: 10.2202/1934-2659.1297, May 2009

The current contribution is aimed to describe and design the dynamics of the recuperative catalytic combustor. The step responses of the combustible concentration, fuel flow rate, fuel temperature and three manipulated variables are determined for the non-controlled combustor. The time delays, time constants and gains are determined for the temperatures measured in two points in the catalytic zone and its dependencies on the process and geometrical parameters are discussed. The frequency response analysis conducted shows that in the combustor with a higher time constant medium term input disturbances are effectively attenuated. In order to handle long term impulses of lean or rich fuels, the control strategy dedicated to the current combustor is proposed. It is verified in the example in which the frequently used control algorithm is applied to simulate the process control. The results show that the improvement is attained in combustor transient operation and control.
Keywords: recuperative catalytic combustion; design of process dynamics; control strategy

Nevermind, I've made the VB script and the batch file which can initialize HP QuictTest and run with scheduler.
The Batch file:
cscript.exe "C:\TestScripts\Execution Scripts\DDF Model - TouchPoint.vbs" 'pause '#disabled pause, which was used to view error messages.
The VB script:
Dim qtApp 'As QuickTest.Application '#Declare the Application object variable Dim qtTest 'As QuickTest.Test '#Declare a Test object variable Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application") '#Create the Application object qtApp.Launch '#Start QuickTest qtApp.Visible = True ' Make the QuickTest application visible qtApp.Open "C:\TestScripts\QuickTest", True '#Open the test in read-only mode '# Set run settings for the test Set qtTest = qtApp.Test qtTest.Run ' Run the test WScript.StdOut.Write "Status is:" & qtTest.LastRunResults.Status '#Check the results of the test run qtTest.Close '#Close the test qtApp.Quit '#Close the application Set qtResultsOpt = Nothing '#Release the Run Results Options object Set qtTest = Nothing '#Release the Test object Set qtApp = Nothing '#Release the Application object

We don't have anything against mass spectrometry.
We just think it's time for a worthy alternative.
What's so revolutionary about Vacuum Ultraviolet gas spectroscopy?It's simple.
What's so revolutionary about Vacuum Ultraviolet gas spectroscopy?It's simple.
"New directions in science are launched by new tools much more often than by new concepts."
"The most disruptive GC product this year."
"The VUV detector is a powerful new tool in the GC toolbox."
Anyone who relies on gas chromatography and has had it up to here with poor quantification, ambiguous compound identification results, regular system maintenance and burdensome calibrations. Including, but not limited to, the good folks who work in:
"An amazingly simple concept extended into a powerful spectral region."
Continuously and rapidly acquires full spectroscopic absorption data from ~120nm to 240nm.
Integrates data across the entire ~120nm to 240nm range and presents it as a single chromatographic response.
Data can be integrated across specific regions of interest, to enhance a compound response and reduce the impact of the background matrix.
Strong and unique absorption cross-sections of gas molecules in the VUV regime.
Easily integrates onto most any gas chromatography instrument. Compatible with all common carrier gases.
Minimal facilities, limited moving parts, easy maintenance and no vacuum pumps results in a very low cost of ownership.
"Eliminates ionization inefficiencies that are encountered in mass spectrometry analysis."

A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he's frowning too
Because only God knows what you'll go through
You'll grow in the ghetto, living second rate
And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
The places you're playin', where you stay
Looks like one great big alley way
You'll admire all the number book takers
Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you wanna grow up to be just like them, huh,
Smugglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers
Pickpockets, peddlers even panhandlers
You say: "I'm cool, I'm no fool!"
But then you wind up dropping out of high school
Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walking 'round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned stickup kid, look what you've done did
Got sent up for a eight year bid
Now your manhood is took and you're a may tag
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
Being used and abused to serve like hell
Till one day you was found hung dead in a cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young
Anybody who says this shouldn't be in the top 5 lyrical performances of all time should be excommunicated from any hip-hop discussion group. Anyone who says it doesn't count because it was written by executives needs to be stabbed in the throat with fiberglass.
I thought for sure this spot would be Run DMC though.
He's like "yo give me yo insurance information!" and I'm like "I didn't hit you with no car, I hit you with this mack truck I call a fist!"
