Samsung 49-Inch CHG90 144Hz\nSamsung has taken the size of screens fairly further with the C49HG90, which has a 49-inch board, more than 124 cm corner to corner. Honestly, it thinks about exactly two 27-inch Full HD screens put one close to the next, or an Ultra HD TV cut down the center.\nThe Samsung C49HG90 screen is essentially colossal. With its corner to corner of 48.9 inches (124.2 cm), it has an entire office of 1.40 m. Expected mainly for gamers, this screen incorporates a twisted VA board showing an objective of 3,840 x 1,080 px.\nThe vertical definition is exceptionally limited for essential tasks, such as surfing or office motorization, anyway soaking in games is ensured. FreeSync feasible, this exhibit can show up at a stimulate speed of 144Hz.\nThe Samsung screen is simply gigantic. While two 27-inch ones close to the next may have all the earmarks of being truly decent to the extent of mass, the two 27-inch sheets combined to make this 49-inch board make the screen gigantic. This screen is 120.3 cm wide (screen estimations without stand: 1203 x 369.4 x 194.4 mm).\nThe screen also benefits from a defensive cap mount. Of course, the latter is set behind the screen which doesn’t work with its consistent use since it is critical to evade the piece or bend and go under to recover your important.\nThe affiliations aggregated on the back of the screen contains a DisplayPort input, a Mini-DisplayPort input, two HDMI 2.0 wellsprings of data (HDCP 2.2 suitable), a collector data and yield, a PS5 headset, same as Xbox game plan x and Xbox course of action x yield and two USB 3.0 ports.

ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC 38″ PS5 Monitor\nDistant charging and substantial speakers both appeal, anyway the LG is in a substitute class. There are three inspirations to consider the Asus Designo Curve MX83VC over the significantly tantamount LG UltraWide 38WN95C.\nThe $239 esteem contrast is the clearest since that gets you a gently twisted 37. sin IPS show, yet Asus wants to similarly captivate you with a 15W distant charger.\nRecognize a sensible phone on the point of convergence of its stand and fragile blue light beginnings beating to show it’s working. There’s also a mind-blowing pair of 10W speakers, with a ton of significance to go with their volume.\nThe terrible news for Asus is that in essentially every substitute way the LG is common. For a start, it’s more breathtaking. While the Asus’ zenith of 3o6cd/m2 in our tests is fine for most plans, it doesn’t have the impact and HDR limits of the LG with its apex of 543cd/m2.\nEven more basically, the LG has a more broad reach. While the Asus covers the sRGB space well, with 98.1% incorporation and 104.8% volume, it can’t hold a fire in DCI-P3: the LG’s figures were 94.2%/97.9%, the Asus 74.2%/74.3%.\nYou can flick between concealing presets in the responsive and characteristic OSD, anyway, we propose you neglect the suggested sRGB mode: it dropped separation to 571:1, giving the screen a dull look.\nThe Designo Curve MX38VC was at its best in Standard mode, which returned an even 6606Ktemperature and 977:1 distinction. All through our testing, the Asus showed solid concealing exactness with an ordinary Delta E of 0.92 and most limit of2.38.\nLike the LG, Asus offers a USB-C affiliation that can handle PCs – it doesn’t give a rating – and there are two USB-A ports at the back, yet don’t expect a versatile stand.\nThe solitary thing you can change is its inclination, and we miss having a turn or height change when the screen is so abnormal. While the Asus’ momentous extra things are lovely, when you’re paying four figures for a screen it pays to expand a few pounds for the more breathtaking and more versatile LG.\n9. Philips 346B1C UltraWide 34 PS5 Curved Monitor\nIf you lavish an untidiness-free work territory screen, this is a good ‘ole fashioned twisted arrangement. We were so stunned by this screen three months earlier that we put it on the A-List and, while it loses that best situation to the LG UltraWide 38WN95C, the Brilliance 346P1 leftover parts a superb choice if a gigantic, twisted screen demands.\nPhilips lifts the 346P1 above rival 34in twisted VA screens by stacking it with straightforward features. It’s a stunning choice for anyone requiring a chaos-free work region, with an RJ-45 port, four USB-A ports (all sensibly mounted aside from the screen), and shockingly a KVM switch if you need to confer your mouse and comfort to a second related PC. Note that its USB-C affiliation gives a solid 90W of power too.\nWhile the stand is fundamental in arrangement and wobbles more than we’d like while pushing the OSD gets, there’s a sublime 180mm of stature change and you can turn it 360°. That OSD offers relatively few controls over colors, anyway Philips expects that you should pick between its eight Smart image decisions; think Office, Game, LowBlue Mode. You can similarly quickly flick between sources, with any excess controls through the menu.\nWe endorse you use this to turn the light sensor on, as this will change the splendor of the feature – and if you keep it on the best 5O7cd/m2 this screen can achieve then you’ll need to wear conceals.\nWhile there is an sRGB mode, you’re in an ideal circumstance picking Office as this truly makes a predominant appearance of covering the sRGB range: it showed up at 99% in our tests versus 91.3% for the sRGB setting, and with a typical Delta E of around 0.6, it’s precise too.\nWhile various screens are directly centered around gamers, the Brilliance makes a fine appearance by a 100Hz apex stimulate (even at the screen’s nearby 3,440 x1,440 objective) and sponsorship for AMD FreeSync, and the pair of 5W speakers are above and beyond if you don’t have your headphones to hand. As an extra award, this screen even sponsorships DisplayHDR 400.\nWe aren’t so convinced by the webcam, which just sporadically worked with Windows Hello, anyway, it hangs far eliminated when not needed. The 346P1 isn’t magnificent, yet at this worth, it adds up to one more marvelous screen from Philips.\n10. BenQ EW2780U 27 inch 4K Monitor\nA quality show for work commitments that is furthermore unprecedented for watching chronicles evening time. With the EW2780U, BenQ is presenting one direct request: why spend more than $500 on a 4K USB-C screen?\nBenQ covers all of the primary basics, picking an extraordinary IPS board that is specially tuned to people’s step-by-step needs: in Standard mode, it covers 98.5% of the sRGB range with 109%volume, while its ordinary Delta E of 0.29 is brilliant.\nIf you need to resuscitate rates higher than 60Hz or a more broad reach, you’ll need to look elsewhere, yet a separation extent of 1,085:1 and astonishing brightness consistency infer that it builds up an inconceivable first association.\nIt has a trick available to its too, which is part of the way because of a strong apex magnificence of 37icd/m2. BenQ abuses this to give three HDR impersonating modes, all selectable through the “HDRi” substitute path button on the base bezel, and these add a second punch to accounts and games. The effect can’t, by and large, facilitate with an HDR4OO-certified board, yet it isn’t far eliminated.\nTo get to more controls you’ll need to reach behind the back for the limited scale joystick, or tap one of the two customer programmable gets that sit essentially above it.\nThese would then have the option to turn out to be simple courses to concealing modes, sound profiles, and information sources. Tapping the genuine joystick raises the full OSD, which isn’t hard to investigate yet sprinkled with relentless terms like AMA (for changing response times) and Super Resolution (for upscaling).\nMacBook owners ought to assess the M-book setting: this is expected to even more eagerly match their screens. Note that the USB-C port’s power yield is limited to 60W, with the EW278oU’s cases as a docking station moreover diminished by a shortfall of USB-A ports.\nFor sure, there’s a stripped-back feel to the whole screen, with the stand offering – 57+15° inclination. We were stunned, by then, by the idea of the speakers: they’re genuinely adequate to check out the music on.\nWhile it has its limitations, this is a screen that makes them stun characteristics at the expense. In case your once-over of tickbox features consolidates 4K, concealing accuracy and sitting before the TV, it’s a phenomenal choice.\n11. Philips 328E1CA 32″ Curved Monitor\nWhile it wills not at any point to the table for features, this 32in 4K twisted screen is unmatched for regard. Scrutinize down the posting for the Philips 328E1 on P75 and you’ll see a huge load of crosses. This screen is pared down to the base, with the indisputable purpose of passing on a twisted 32m 4K screen at an expense no other maker can facilitate.\nThe request by then becomes whether you care about the compromises Philips has made. For example, an enormous number of us can live with three video inputs – two HDMI, one DisplayPort – and do you require a versatile stay with height change? In any case, the more huge obstruction is the by and large defenseless review points of its VA board.\nAs you explore the corners, there’s an observable drop-off curiously. If you work in applications with white establishments, where this effect is, for the most part, evident, we don’t recommend the Philips 328E1.\nTaking everything into account, this screen performed well in our concealing accuracy tests, with sRGB incorporation of 98.2%, 119.5% volume, and a typical Delta E of 0.71. Note you can push its brightness up to 335cd/m2, clearly better than the 25ocd/m2 Philips states.\nIt’s furthermore suitable for video and games, with a separation extent of 2,228:1 and 4ms response time. While Philips doesn’t find space in the monetary arrangement for FreeSync support, there is a reasonable plan of speakers; satisfactory to check out the music on.\nIf you’re on a restricted monetary arrangement and looking for 4K sharpness over versatility, the Philips 328E1 will accomplish the work charmingly.\nBuyer’s Guide For Best monitors for PS5 144hz, Gaming, 4K, Ultrawide, 8K:\nPS5 Graphics And Technical Requirements:\nThe help hasn’t been dispatched, so we will revive this article regularly, at any rate, Sony has conveyed a lot of experiences in regards to the new Playstation 5’s specs.

Moreover, everything considered the specialists may enable dim bars to avoid offering an advantage to gamers taking care of on ultrawide screens.\nFor example Valorant, Riot’s latest achievement, regardless of the way that It’s at present on PC, engineers communicated that the game won’t help ultrawide screens with extended FOV (Field of View).\n4K Monitors For Playstation 5:\nWith 4K screens, you’ll have a 3840 × 2160 pixels objective, and It was first conveyed in 2015.

For example, boundary nodes lose plausible deniability, automatic scaling, fault-tolerance, and other benefits that being a more integrated part of the IC protocols might provide. Though allowing anyone to run a boundary node will lead to more decentralization than otherwise, boundary nodes will not be “maximally” decentralized.\nThe idea of DNS as Censor it to force censorship of content on the IC into the Domain Name System, maintaining plausible deniability for the rest of the system. DNS being one of the outermost protocols which provide access to blockchain applications, and considering its centralized and compliant nature, it is a natural place for censorship to occur. This would free up everything beneath DNS on the IC (e.g. boundary nodes and replica nodes and the protocols that control them) to be as decentralized and censorship-resistant as possible.\nFor this to work, all access to canisters would be forced through registered domain names. Anyone would be able to register a domain name that connects to any canister. If that’s not appropriate, perhaps we could build into canisters a way to authorize only certain domain names. I’m not sure we’ve figured out an elegant way to allow custom domains to map to canister ids, but I imagine DNS records would work here, such as a TXT record. Boundary nodes would forward on all traffic from properly configured domain names.\nThis proposal builds on the assumption that most legal complaints would first go to the registrant of the lowest subdomain, and then work up the domain hierarchy. For example, if\nillegal.piracy.org were hosting infringing content belonging to\nInnocent NFT Artists LLC, then the legal complaints would first be served to the registrant of\n.illegal.piracy.org, and if corrective action weren’t taken then to\n.piracy.org, and if necessary finally to\nThis would place legal accountability on the domain name registrant, and allow the already-operating DNS to maintain legal compliance as it’s been doing for years. DNS becomes the interface between the centralized and decentralized worlds. And we might even be able to improve that interface as the Internet Computer gains more DNS capabilities (DNS server as canister, x.509 certificates, stuff like that).\nLike I said, the technical implementation of this could be tricky (DNS records/SSL certificates/etc), but this solution feels cleaner than the Boundary Nodes as Censors proposal. We force domain name registrants to be accountable for access to canisters, and leave boundary and replica node operators out of murky waters as far as possible.\nConsidering the increased complexity of this solution, I think we should still move forward with Boundary Nodes as Censors. It will be much easier to open source and allow individual entities to run boundary node instances than it will be to create a maximally decentralized boundary node system. There’s also a lot about DNS and the IC that hasn’t been figured out yet.\nBoundary Nodes as Censors can be a stepping stone towards this proposal.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]\nComplete disk disaster\n- To: misc_(_at_)_openbsd_(_dot_)_org\n- Subject: Complete disk disaster\n- From: Ramiro Aceves \n- Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 15:34:34 +0200\nI am new to OpenBSD (but not to Unixes), my experience with this OS is\nonly a month.

Now that the era of social distancing has shut down many in-person operations, digital commerce is the only thing that many business owners have left to make a living for themselves. Unfortunately, the newfound importance of the internet for commercial purposes is still poorly understood by many entrepreneurs, largely because they’re unfamiliar with search engine optimization (SEO) techniques.\nBuilding online citations for your local business is of the utmost importance if you want customers to find you with ease. Here’s a review of how you can do that successfully.\nThe three major factors\nThere are three major factors that most modern search engines take into consideration after users input a query into them with the hopes of finding accurate results. Modern search engines want to know if your website is relevant, meaning it contains key words that are likely to resonate with customers. They also want to know the proximity of your business to the digital user in question – they don’t want to show results for a business that’s on the other side of the world, after all. Finally, search engines also want to know about the prominence of your webpage, which entails how many users it has and whether those users are legitimate or simply bots pretending to be people.\nInvesting in SEO expertise like that possessed by Yeah! Local can help you master the SEO process, but business owners will always have to learn a little bit about this process themselves if they truly want to attain success. After all, you’re the one responsible for your prosperity at the end of the day, and you can’t outsource everything to someone else. So, how do you build online citations to bolster your business’ SEO performance?\nAn online citation is simply a reference to your business that’s included on someone else’s website. They don’t necessarily have to entail a backlink, or a literal link that will deliver users to one of your webpages, but having many backlinks on good websites is generally considered a good SEO strategy. Knowing how Google’s local algorithm works can help you navigate the complexity of modern search engines, but only by building citations can you really get the word out about your business.\nTry hard to get your business’ NAP (name, address, and phone number) on as many local directories as possible. Also try to include your business’ NAP in industry-specific directories that will point others towards your company. Before long, you’ll be improving your SEO expertise and will find more customers visiting your website or pouring through your doors.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Pentax K-3 Review\nPerformance and Burst Mode\nThe Pentax K-3 features a new processor called PRIME III. This is Pentax's fastest CPU to date.\nConsidering that the K-3's 24-megapixel files are larger than the 16-megapixel files from the past two camera generations, an improvement to processing speed was much-needed. Fine JPEG files from the K-3 are in the 11-13 Mb range, on average, and RAW files are about 30Mb. Compared this to the K-5's 6-7 Mb JPEG files and 20Mb RAWs.\nDespite the fact that it has to deal with larger files, the K-3 actually operates noticeably faster than its predecessor during everyday shooting. The table below summarizes some key performance data that we obtained experimentally using a Sandisk Extreme Pro 95Mb/s card:\nPentax K-5 II\n|Startup to 1st shot||0.9s||0.9s|\n|Startup to live view on||1.5s||2.5s|\n|Single file deletion||1.3s||1.3s|\n|Saving a single JPEG |\n(time to playback)\n|Saving a single RAW |\n(time to playback)\n|Saving a RAW+JPEG |\n(time to playback)\n|Lens correction |\n*on top of the time it takes to write the file to the card\nOur tests show that the K-3 processes lens corrections much more quickly than the K-5 II. They still add a noticeable amount of overhead when shooting a continuous burst, but they are nowhere as slow as on the K-5 II. In addition, there isn't as much lag before the K-3's live view mode activates. The K-5 II can save a single RAW or RAW+ shot faster than the K-3, but this is to be expected given the smaller file size. However, the K-3 unlocks its menu system well before it is done writing, which still makes it feel signigicantly faster in RAW mode unless you want to proceed directly to playback.\nFile deletions on the K-3 still aren't performed in the background, and an unnecessary progress bar is shown for about a second whenever you delete a file. This is the only real annoyance that we could find.\nContinuous Shooting and Buffer\nThe K-3 has received an upgraded shutter mechanism that can shoot at a best-in-class 8.3 FPS. Its durability has been doubled compared to that of the Pentax K-5, as it is rated for 200,000 actuations, up from 100,000. This durability is best-in-class as of the writing of this review.\nThe K-3 now also supports UHS-I cards, meaning that it can write data much faster than its predecessors could.\nThe video below shows the K-3's high framerate. You should also notice that the shutter sound has gotten even quieter compared to the K-5, which is great not only for bursts, but also for single shots.\nAnd the video below shows the amount of time that in-camera lens corrections add during a continuous JPEG burst:\nPentax hasn't cut back on upgrading the K-3's buffer. According to the specs, the K-3 can shoot up to 60 fine JPEG files, 100 standard JPEG files, or 200 basic JPEG files. This is much higher than the K-5 II's 30-40 frames.\nTo find out just how big these improvements are in real life, we tested the K-3 and the K-5 IIs with the following memory cards:\n- Card 1: SanDisk 95Mb/s 32GB Extreme Pro SDHC Class 10 UHS-I\n- Card 2: SanDisk 45Mb/s 32GB Extreme SDHC Class 10 UHS-1\nBoth cards should be faster than the K-5 II's maximum write speed. So, with the faster card, can the K-3 do better than the K-5 II? See our results below!\n(measured from end of burst)\nWe can thus conclude that the K-3 clearly has an advantage in terms of buffer size in JPEG mode, as even with the slower card, it was able to capture 10 more frames at maximum resolution and quality. With the 95Mb/s card, it captured 52 frames, very close to the advertised 60. It is a bit disappointing that the K-3's RAW buffer is no bigger than that of the K-5, but at least it hasn't gotten smaller. Note that in real life, variations in buffer size can occur based on what you're shooting, as photos with lots of dark shadows or blown highlights tend to be smaller.\nBut what if you want to shoot more than just 52 frames? Well, even though the K-3 can only sustain its maximum framerate for a few seconds, it will continue chugging along at 2-3 FPS until the card is full. We were able to get over 300 frames out of the K-3 in JPEG Fine mode and it didn't want to stop! This was true for both cards that we tried.\nIf you don't have a high-speed card and you start shooting bursts with the K-3, you will find yourself having to wait much longer for its large files to finish writing compared to the K-5 II. With a high-speed card, however, the K-3 performs almost just as well as the K-5 II: thus, it essentially makes up for its larger file size by being able to utilize faster memory cards. We highly recommend that you pick up at least one SanDisk 95Mb/s 32GB Extreme Pro SDHC Class 10 UHS-I card for use with the K-3.\nWhile the K-3 is writing files to its card, playback mode and the menu system are inaccessible for about 6 seconds (JPEG fine mode) or 15 seconds (RAW mode) after the last frame. You can always enter live view mode or continue shooting through the viewfinder, however.\nThe USB3 connectivity that the K-3 supports will help ensure that files stored on high-speed memory cards will be downloaded quickly (i.e. above the 35Mb/s limit of USB2).\nLive View Framerate\nThe K-3's live view has a refresh rate of 60 frames per second and has virtually no latency, which means that it is on par with what we've seen in the K-30/K-50 and better than what the K-5/K-5 II/K-5 IIs had to offer. The live view image only gets a bit choppy in low ambient light.\nThe live view display tries to do its best to keep the image well-exposed. It does not stop the lens down until you shoot or unless you use the camera's digital preview feature.\nIn order to allow for increased AF performance, focus peaking is disabled while the AF system is in operation. Unlike on the K-50, however, the live view resolution does not decrease during AF, which is good to see. The improved performance can be attributed to the K-3's faster processor.\nEven though the K-3 does not exit live view if you change modes on the mode dial, the mirror does flip down whenever you try to access the info screen to make quick settings changes. Live view is automatically re-enabled when you press the info button again, but this wastes power and means that returning to live view isn't instant.\nNote that when Shake Reduction is enabled, the live view image is stabilizated. This creates a bit of audible noise when using live view, but it isn't an annoyance unless you put your ear close to the camera. Note that even with SR disabled, there will still be a slight noise as the camera needs to keep the SR magnets active to \"lock\" the sensor in place.\nDesktop File Transfer\nFor those who don't have a fast SD card reader, or if you don't want to remove your memory cards from the camera, you can transfer files from the K-3 to your PC using a USB3 connection. The Micro B USB3 cable must be purchased separately. Once you connect the camera to your computer, power it on and it should appear as a mass storage device in your operating system.\nThe overall transfer speed will depend on both your memory card speed and your desktop's bus/drive speed. With either of the memory cards we tested and typical PC hardware, you can expect a transfer speed of 30Mb/s or higher, assuming that your computer has a USB3 port.\nWe measured a file transfer rate of 30 Mb/s with a USB 3 cord and 19 Mb/s with a USB 2 cord. Faster transfer speeds up to the card's maximum speed are possible via external card readers.\nThe K-3 takes the same D-Li90 batteries as the K-5 IIs, K-5 II, K-5, K-7, and 645D. While using it in the field we did not observe it to be any more power-hungry than its predecessor. If you wish to expand your camera's battery life, you can purchase the optional D-BG5 battery grip which can carry an additional battery or 6 AA's. Without flash use, you can expect to be able to capture well over 1000 photos per charge per battery.\nA nice feature of the K-3 (and earlier cameras) is its auto power-off setting. By default, the camera will turn itself off after one minute of inactivity, so if you accidentally forget to turn it off, your battery won't be drained. The auto power-off setting can also be disabled or set as high as 30 minutes.\nThe processor in the Pentax K-3 really packs a punch. Overall, its performance is unquestionably state-of-the-art. It does an excellent job of handling the K-3's larger files, and routine tasks such as processing lens corrections or entering live view have become faster. Playback mode- even in 81-thumbnail view- display photos almost instantly. If you pair the camera with a non-UHS-I card, however, you will find it to be a noticeable bottleneck in burst mode, and with a slow card, you'll continue to see the hourglass icon for a noticable period of time. For the best burst performance, we recommend fast SDHC/SDXC cards such as the SanDisk 95Mb/s or 80Mb/s cards, or Lexar 1000x or 800x cards. The great thing about the K-3 is that the number of shots you can take in burst mode is only limited by the size of your card as long as you can settle for a reduced framerate. The faster your card, however, the longer you can sustain the higher framerate and the faster the buffer will be flushed. The only thing we hoped for but didn't get in the K-3 was a larger RAW buffer.\nWhen using the K-3 in the field, it simply feels faster than the K-5 IIs as you'll spend less time looking at the hourglass icon and more time shooting and reviewing photos. Pentax has really improved this camera's performance all-around. Even more importantly, perhaps, the PRIME III processor also enables more reliable live view autofocus.

However, there are fundamental differences between the way TEXT fields and VARCHAR fields work, which are important to take into consideration.\nStandard VARCHAR is actually part of the ISO SQL:2003 standard; The TEXT data types, including TINYTEXT, are non-standard.\nStorage TEXT data types are stored as separate objects from the tables and result sets that contain them. This storage is transparent — there is no difference in how a query involving a TEXT field is written versus one involving a VARCHAR field. Since TEXT is not stored as part of a row, retrieval of TEXT fields requires extra [edited 1/22] memory overhead.\nMaximum VARCHAR length The maximum row length of a VARCHAR is restricted by the maximum row length of a table. This is 65,535 bytes for most storage engines (NDB has a different maximum row value). Theoretically the maximum length of a VARCHAR is 65,536 bytes. Overhead further limits the actual maximum size of a VARCHAR.\nStoring the length of a VARCHAR field takes 1 byte if the VARCHAR field has a maximum length of 0-255 bytes; if it is greater than 255 bytes, the overhead to store the length is 2 bytes. If the VARCHAR field allows NULL values, that adds additional overhead — every table uses 1 byte of overhead for each set of 8 fields that allow NULL values. If the VARCHAR is the only row in the table, and does not allow NULL values, the maximum length allowed for VARCHAR is 65,532 bytes.\nKeep in mind that that the number in VARCHAR(x) represents number of characters, not number of bytes. Therefore, you may have difficulties trying to define a table with only VARCHAR(65532) if the character set uses multi-byte characters, such as UTF-8.\nTINYTEXT – up to 255 bytes, 1 byte overhead\nTEXT – up to 64 Kb, 2 bytes overhead\nMEDIUMTEXT – up to 16 Mb, 3 bytes overhead\nLONGTEXT – up to 4 Gb, 4 bytes overhead\nDEFAULT values MySQL does not allow TEXT data types to have a default value other than NULL. VARCHAR fields are allowed to be created with a DEFAULT value.\nConclusions Because of the storage implications, it is preferable to use VARCHAR instead of TINYTEXT.\nIf you need to have a DEFAULT value that is not NULL, you must use VARCHAR (or CHAR).\nIf you need to store strings longer than approximately 64 Kb, use MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT. VARCHAR cannot support storing values that large.\nMake sure you are aware of the effects of a multi-byte character set. VARCHAR(255) stores 255 characters, which may be more than 255 bytes.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Monday, February 13, 2012\nSoon the m9r will hit the market. This is not just a regular internal product update, which is quite common in the IT industry and usually invisible to the user, the letter “r” suggests that it is more than that.\nFirst of all, the letter probably stands for “range”. The m9 handset uses a new chip set which has an improved antenna performance. That means the range will be improved. Though the majority of customers will not really need this, it addresses those who are on the edge.\nThe other thing is that it will support the “repeater”. Even with the improved range, you can still double the distance by using a repeater in large offices and warehouses. Though I honestly think that the good old m9 also supports the router. Maybe the m9r is because the router is so close, we can already smell it.\nThen there is more memory (which also has the “r” in it). More memory is always good to have, though the software does not need it at this point. But you never know what future software updates bring, and it never hurts to have more memory. Especially the handset has more memory; we were always very tight with memory there. Try to program something with a color display if all you have is 64 KB RAM. I believe now it is 128, still not the same of what you have on your smart phone, but at least twice as much as before. And also the base has now 32 MB RAM, so that we can probably take it easier with adding memory hungry features.\nThe other reason for the letting is the improved speaker (the letter at the end). This results in a better handsfree mode and a better playback for the ring tone.\nAnother thing that was changed is that the combo now has only one handset. This is sad because most people won’t realize they can register more than one handset per station. I guess the overall marketing rationale behind it was to get the overall price down. People can be very short-sighted when comparing prices.\nThe m9r continues exactly from where the m9 was. Regarding the maturity of the product this time it means there will be no big surprises. So the bottom line is that the m9r is a hardware upgrade, not a software upgrade.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "From the Apple Documentation, the Quicktime framework is deprecated in OSX 10.9 in favor of AVFoundations and AVKit.

However, there is an api that comes with the box, that gives me access the video data packet files. I can write them to disk and create a video that can be played by quicktime. But doing a realtime playback is the issue. Thus the question of decoding, decompression, and creating a pixel buffer so I can use Core Video and OpenGL.\nI think if I can create a pixel buffer I may be able to use\nAVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor and figure out some way to get that into a\nAVCaptureSession.

To have any hope of effectively managing the growth, we need new ways of doing things. The most promising solution seems to be e-learning programs that can allow for more efficient collaboration between organizations and individuals with different responsibilities in the management process.\nThe urban environment is constantly changing. The population in cities has skyrocketed, resulting in more people living closer together and fighting for space. With the increased density comes an increased need for efficient ways to manage this new living situation.

With the increasing population in urban areas, it has become even more challenging for city planners to manage growth. To meet these challenges, governments need a better understanding of their cities and how they work, where e-learning comes in. E-learning provides an interactive way for people worldwide to learn about topics like infrastructure, green space, transportation systems, and other issues facing our cities today.

However, implementing these technologies poses a number of challenges for educators – including finding appropriate content sources, developing practical learning tools, and maintaining student motivation when using web-based platforms. These challenges need to be addressed if we want to reap the full benefit of these technologies.\nUrban management is a challenging task. With the complexities of our cities growing, it’s imperative that managers can respond quickly and effectively. That’s why e-learning in urban management is so important – it provides ongoing training for those working in the field by providing access to resources not otherwise available on-site or through traditional channels. Urban planners can learn about new policies, better manage development projects, and address environmental issues faster and more efficiently with online learning tools.

It has redefined what social networking means for both personal and business use and when Facebook makes a major change to how the site operates it has tens of millions of users worldwide clamoring to figure out how to make it work best for them. Enter, then, the Facebook timeline.\nThis shift from the standard Facebook profile page that every user had become so accustomed to is a major shift. It takes anything a Facebook user has ever done on the site and organizes it into a scrollable timeline of photos, texts and links to other events. From the birthdate at the very bottom of the timeline all the way up to the last activity performed on Facebook every click is chronicled. Wall posts, photos and events attended are all arranged chronologically and can be searched.\nFlickr image by eskedal\nThe big question among users now is how to enable the Timeline to replace a current, standard profile page. That is as simple as going to Facebook and clicking a link. The main Facebook page features a clickable headline reading “Introducing Timeline.” Simply click that link and on the resulting page click “Get It Now” and timeline will become active on your profile. This adds it in its most basic form, importing all the old information from your standard profile and adding it in the correct areas on the new timeline.\nIt’s when looking at how to flesh out the timeline and make it uniquely yours that things get more involved and the sheer scope of the feature become apparent. Because timeline features so many new additions that require modification on the part of the user, everyone is given seven days from the time it is activated until the time is becomes visible to the rest of the Facebook world. This allows ample time to change various photos, add and eliminate important information and events and modify sharing settings.\nThe cover photo is a secondary profile picture that takes up a banner-sized portion of the top of the timeline. This can be added and modified in the photos section the same way a standard profile picture is. Stories can now be hidden individually from the timeline with the click of a small “X” button, and others can be starred to make sure they remain visible to everyone. Once you are satisfied with the changes and additions made to this new profile you can either wait the seven days for it to become live to the public or hit the “publish now” button on your page to make it happen immediately. Either way use caution, because once a switch to the timeline is made there is no going back to the old Facebook profile format.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Can’t figure out why your iMessage is not sending on your iPhone?\niMessage is an instant messaging service made for Apple devices. It was launched in 2011 and has become the primary means of communication among iPhone users. However, it’s also available on iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS.\nIf you rely on iMessage, it can be frustrating to know that your messages are not sending or getting delivered.\nThere are various reasons why your iMessage is not sending on your iPhone. For one, it’s possible that you don’t have a stable connection, which is needed by the service. It can also be due to outdated software, corrupted data, or improper configurations.\nIn this guide, we will show you what to do if your iMessage is not sending to your recipients on your iPhone.\nLet’s jump right in!\n1. Restart Your Device.\nAs a standard procedure, you can try restarting your device first if you encounter issues sending iMessage. This way, you can rule out temporary bugs and errors that may have occurred during use.\nFor iPhone X, 11, 12, or later:\n- Hold down the Volume Down button and Side button until the ‘Slide to Power Off’ prompt appears.\n- Now, drag the slider to the right and wait for 30 seconds.\n- Press the Side button afterward to turn on your device.\nFor iPhone 6, 7, 8, or SE:\n- Locate the Power button on your device.\n- Now, hold the button until the ‘Slide to Power Off’ prompt shows up.\n- Drag the slider to the right and wait for 30 seconds before turning on your device.\nGo back to iMessage afterward and see if you can now send messages.\n2. Check the Service.\nSince you are using an online messaging platform, you can encounter problems if there’s something wrong with the servers. To confirm this, you can visit Apple’s status page to see if there’s an issue with iMessage and related services.\nSadly, server-related issues can’t be resolved on your end. Due to this, the only option you have, if the servers are down, is to wait.\nOn the other hand, you can head to the next solution if the servers are working fine.\n3. Check Your Network Connection.\nOne of the main reasons why you can’t send iMessages is the lack of internet connectivity. Without an active internet connection, iMessage can’t function correctly since it relies on the internet to communicate.\nTo check if your network is the culprit, perform a test using Fast.com to measure your network’s upload and download speed.\nIf the result indicates a problem with your network, power cycle your modem or router to refresh the link with your ISP. Unplug your router’s power cable and wait for 5 to 10 seconds before plugging it back in.\nOnce done, re-run the test to check if the problem is solved. If not, contact your service provider and ask them to fix the issue.\nYou can also try using cellular data if you are connected to a public network or if your ISP is experiencing issues at the moment.\n4. Check iMessage Settings.\nAnother reason for iMessage not sending on your iPhone is if it’s not configured correctly. Before using the service, ensure that your settings are set properly.\nHere’s what you need to do:\n- Head to Settings and tap on Messages.\n- Now, look for iMessage and ensure that the option is enabled.\nRestart your device afterward and see if you can now send messages via iMessage.\n5. Check Your Recipient.\nSometimes, iMessages may not send due to an error in the recipient’s contact information.\nEnsure that the recipient’s phone number or email address is entered correctly, including the country code, area code, and the appropriate extension.\nIf you have previously had a conversation with the recipient, you can check their contact information by going to “Messages,” selecting the conversation with the recipient and then tapping on their name or number at the top of the screen.\n6. Check for Software Updates.\nYou can also try updating your iPhone if you continue to experience issues with iMessage. There might be an issue with the version of iOS you are using that causes iMessage not to work.\nCheck out the steps below to update your iPhone:\n- Open the Settings app on your iOS device.\n- After that, go to General > Software Update.\n- Finally, go to Automatic Updates and enable all the options under it. Head back to the previous page and tap on Download and Install.\nAfter updating your device, head back to iMessage and try sending a few messages to your friends or family.\n7. Reset Network Settings.\nIf you still encounter issues with sending iMessages on your iPhone, we suggest that you reset your network settings. This way, you can ensure that there’s nothing wrong with your network configurations.\nHere’s what you need to do:\n- Access your home screen and go to Settings.\n- Next, tap on General and go to Transfer or Reset iPhone tab.\n- Finally, tap on Reset and choose Reset Network Settings.\nDepending on the model of your device, resetting your network configurations may take several minutes.\nOnce done, reconnect to your network and check if the problem is solved.\n8. Contact Apple Support.\nIf none of the solutions above worked, the last thing you can do is report the issue to Apple’s team. There might be a problem with your account that needs attention on their end.\nHead to Apple’s support page and get in touch with a representative to report the issue you’ve been experiencing. When asking for help, make sure to provide all the necessary details to help their team assess the situation faster.\nYou can also check the other guides on their page while waiting for a response and see if you can find viable solutions.\nThat wraps up our guide for fixing iMessage not sending on your iPhone. If you have questions or other concerns, please let us know in the comment section, and we’ll do our best to answer them.\nIf this guide helped you, please share it. 🙂", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "According to Comparitech’s security researchers, the online education platform K12.com unintentionally exposed the personal information of nearly 7 million students this week.

Combining UtilizeCore and Brightview Enterprise Solutions’ service network birthed the strongest provider network dedicated to the greatest Commercial client experience!Download Case Study\nEstimated More Vendors Onboarded\nEstimated More Jobs Completed\nMore Jobs Acquired\nOne of America’s largest service provider networks, BrightView, provides commercial landscaping services to corporate offices, commercial properties, hotels, healthcare facilities, retail centers, residential communities, resorts, parks, public spaces, and educational institutions. Their headquarters is located in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, and have offices in most US states. The company’s market cap is ~$2.4 billion.\nBrightView was facing several challenges; they had manual, time-consuming, and repetitive processes in place, which made it hard for them to work efficiently. They did not have a robust system to manage their client’s service requests; as a result, their offices were overburdened with unnecessary manual tasks. A lack of organization resulted in a loss of important data. Manual invoice processing consumed a lot of the team member’s time even if it was a single transaction. Furthermore, a notification system was not in place to alert team members about upcoming scheduled maintenances and without a dedicated client portal, the clients felt a lack of transparency.\nBrightView’s goal was to create a centralized portal for internal operations, vendor management, and client management. Overall, they wanted to increase the efficiency of their day to day operations, enhance transparency for their clients, and increase contractor compliance.\nUtilizeCore created an advanced integration model to assist BrightView in achieving their goal. They were able to integrate all their existing business solutions into the UtilizeCore platform, which helped them automate processes, keep track of service requests, providing a better customer experience leading to increased overall revenue. We also integrated NOOA weather forecasting system with customized rules to ensure timely execution and implementation of procedures. Data management tools were also introduced to their system so they can handle bulk operation with higher convenience. A vendor portal allowed them to notify and remind vendors about tasks and view progress through defined KPIs. A client portal was also created to increase transparency and enhance the customer experience; clients can now view the progress via real-time dashboards and rate BrightView’s services as well. They can also process invoices more smoothly, and payments have become faster than ever. The compliance manager provided BrightView with an enhanced ability to keep track of Contractor Compliance so that all TPP, COIs, W9s, and more can be digitally stored and accessible anytime. Overall BrightView effectively changed their workflow facilitation expansion while minimizing costs.\nUtilizeCore means 100% Vendor Compliance\nCushman & Wakefield serves as one of the leading commercial real estate firms in the world.

Their headquarter is based in Chicago, Illinois, and they have 400 offices in 60 countries. They manage about 3.6 billion square feet of commercial space.\nCushman & Wakefield was having trouble efficiently finding new vendors & they were experiencing difficulty managing existing vendors due to their lack of vendor management software. Their internal operating system did not have a centralized work order management hub to verify the services administered by their Vendor network & their clients had no way to view progress of projects or provide feedback into the quality of the work being completed. Additionally, there was no way for them to manage their vendor compliance and paperwork was constantly being lost or misplaced. Their work was spread across multiple platforms, which was unproductive and incapable of supporting growth.\nCushman & Wakefield’s goal was to find and manage their existing vendors more efficiently, provide a better experience to their clients, and increase internal productivity.\nCushman & Wakefield implemented UtilizeCore after evaluating several platforms; as a result, they were able to create vendor and client portals which offer numerous management tools. Cushman & Wakefield gained the ability to manage their work orders in one place and receive information in real time. UtilizeCore’s compliance manager gave them the ability to keep a digital file cabinet of necessary Vendor documentation. Leveraging UtilizeCore’s advanced integration capabilities, Cushman & Wakefield was able to bring their complex workflow into a simplified single platform.\nYellowStone is the largest landscape provider in the Southern United States. Scaling their Service Business was not an easy taks until they found the right technological partner. The injection of UtilizeCore into their subcontractor management division allowed for sales & revenue growth.Download Case Study\nYellowStone Landscape services commercial, corporate, municipal, hospitality, and multi-family markets--offering green and sustainable services to maintain and grow property value. Their headquarters are in Bunnel, Florida and have a major footprint in the South. The revenue each year is north of $250 million.\nYellowStone’s subcontracting division was tied down from growth due to their technology. They used a Landscaping software to manage their invoicing but did not have the tools to succeed in the field. There was no oversight into their service provider network and there was no transparency to their clients for on-site work performed. YellowStone was also having trouble scaling their provider network and providing the correct management - frequently calling the current dispatch and service verification process a “nightmare.” They were outgrowing their current system and needed a digital revitalization.\nYellowStone’s goal was to achieve client satisfaction, provider management, and automated dispatch and report generation process on a single platform. They wanted to keep a organized ledger, streamline work order generation/management, provide a better service to their clients and be a better partner to their providers.\nUtilizeCore’s web and mobile applications gave YellowStone’s subcontracting department the tools for further success. Equipped with the right technology solution, YellowStone is now able to expand their subcontractor network, give client’s the desired transparency, and manage their landscape services in an organizational manner. Joining the UtilizeCore network automatically gave YellowStone access to thousands of service providers across the country.\nUtilizeCore’s Vendor Web Portal and Crew focused mobile application allowed their team members to effectively manage and verify the services provided. Using the Vendor Portal, service providers can save time and eliminate paperwork through easy to use invoicing and GPS Check In/Out on the mobile app. This allows for providers to focus on doing the best work instead of filing paperwork. UtilizeCore’s client web portal gave YellowStone’s clients direct insight into the work being performed and access to pictures as well as check in/out data for service verification. The clients also have the ability to pay invoices through ACH/Wire Transfer by using the payment module.\nUtilizeCore’s internal web portal and mobile application provides team members a singular system to manage seasonal maintenance contracts, daily work orders, digital report generation, consolidated ledger to never lose track of important data, and an online payment module to seamlessly pay their providers. The internal mobile application gives account managers a better way to generate on-site proposals during site visits. This fundamentally shifted the roles within the company to focus more on sales and strategy by eliminating previously manual tasks. This has and will continue to enable YellowStone’s long term scalability and higher efficacy.\nThe platform makes it easy to connect to Quickbooks, Pipedrive, Hubspot and other 3rd party software", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Now that the AMD Quad FX platform has been successfully benchmarked and overclocked, I can now have some fun with the system. With four x16 PCI Express slots present on the ASUS L1N64-SLI WS motherboard I figured why not populate all of them? At first I was going to use several NVIDIA GeForce 8 series graphics cards, but didn’t have enough 6-pin PCIe power headers and all the cards I have take up too many PCI slots. With NVIDIA and ATI soon moving over to systems that contain three graphics cards (two for graphics and one for physics) the market will soon have power supplies with six 6-pin PCIe headers. For now not even the $599.99 PC Power & Cooling 1KW power supply has six PCIe connectors. It just goes to show that no matter how much you spend that you’l never be future proof. Upcoming power supplies like the Thermaltake ToughPower 1000W and 1200W power supplies will have six connectors and will be ready for both ATI’s and NVIDIA’s three card gaming solutions.\nLimited by the size of the cards and power headers I installed two XFX GeForce 7900GTX graphics cards and a pair of GeForce 7900GS graphics cards to occupy all the x16 PCI Express slots with the same series of video cards. I then fired up the AMD Quad FX test system and was shocked to see that when Windows XP loaded that an alert message poped up saying that the system was SLI Ready.\nAfter clicking the alert the ‘SLI Configuration’ utility opened and showed that I could enable Quad SLI. It seems that the NVIDIA drivers correctly detected the two sets of graphics cards and was ready to enable true Quad SLI, which would make four graphics cards operate as one card. I of course clicked the enable box and hit apply.\nAfter hitting apply I was prompted to restart the system for the settings to take effect.

It’s easy to create accessibility visualizations like these ad hoc with Python and its pandana library. Pandana (pandas for network analysis – developed by Fletcher Foti during his dissertation research here at UC Berkeley) performs fast accessibility queries over a network. I’ll demonstrate how to use it to visualize urban walkability. My code is in these IPython notebooks in this urban data science course GitHub repo.\nFirst I give pandana a bounding box around Berkeley/Oakland in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Then I load the street network and amenities from OpenStreetMap. In this example I’ll look at accessibility to restaurants, bars, and schools. But, you can create any basket of amenities that you are interested in – basically visualizing a personalized “AnythingScore” instead of a generic WalkScore for everyone. Finally I calculate and plot the distance from each node in the network to the nearest amenity:\nI recently wrote about visualizing my Foursquare check-in history and mapping my Google location history, and it inspired me to mount a more substantial project: mapping everywhere I’ve ever been in my life (!!). I’ve got 4 years of Foursquare check-ins and Google location history data. For everything pre-smart phone, I typed up a simple spreadsheet of places I’d visited in the past and then geocoded it with the Google Maps API. All my Python and Leaflet code is available in this GitHub repo and is easy to re-purpose to visualize your own location history.\nI’ll show the maps first, then run through the process I followed, below. First off, I used Python and matplotlib basemap to create this map of everywhere I’ve ever been:\nI recently wrote about visualizing my Foursquare check-in history and it inspired me to map my entire Google location history data – about 1.2 million GPS coordinates from my Android phone between 2012 and 2016. I used Python and its pandas, matplotlib, and basemap libraries. The Python code is available in this notebook in this GitHub repo, and it’s simple to re-use to visualize your own location history.\nJust download your JSON file from Google then run the code. First I load the JSON file and parse the latitude, longitude, and timestamp with pandas. Then I map my worldwide data set:\nLast.fm is a web site that tracks your music listening history across devices (computer, phone, iPod, etc) and services (Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, etc). I’ve been using Last.fm for nearly 10 years now, and my tracked listening history goes back even further when you consider all my pre-existing iTunes play counts that I scrobbled (ie, submitted to my Last.fm database) when I joined Last.fm.\nUsing Python, pandas, matplotlib, and leaflet, I downloaded my listening history from Last.fm’s API, analyzed and visualized the data, downloaded full artist details from the Musicbrainz API, then geocoded and mapped all the artists I’ve played. All of my code used to do this is available in this GitHub repo, and is easy to re-purpose for exploring your own Last.fm history. All you need is an API key.\nFirst I visualized my most-played artists, above. Across the dataset, I have 279,769 scrobbles (aka, song plays). I’ve listened to 26,761 different artists and 66,377 different songs across 38,026 different albums from when I first started using iTunes circa 2005 through the present day. This includes pretty close to every song I’ve played on anything other than vinyl during that time.

Since I’ve now got 4 years of location history (ie, check-ins) data, I decided to visualize and map it with Python, matplotlib, and basemap. The code is available in this GitHub repo. It’s easy to re-purpose to visualize your own check-in history: you just need to plug in your Foursquare OAuth token then run the notebook.\nFirst the notebook downloads all my check-ins from the Foursquare API. Then I mapped all of them, using matplotlib basemap.\nA guide to setting up the Python scientific stack, well-suited for geospatial analysis, on a Raspberry Pi 3. The whole process takes just a few minutes.\nThe Raspberry Pi 3 was announced two weeks ago and presents a substantial step up in computational power over its predecessors. It can serve as a functional Wi-Fi connected Linux desktop computer, albeit underpowered. However it’s perfectly capable of running the Python scientific computing stack including Jupyter, pandas, matplotlib, scipy, scikit-learn, and OSMnx.\nDespite (or because of?) its low power, it’s ideal for low-overhead and repetitive tasks that researchers and engineers often face, including geocoding, web scraping, scheduled API calls, or recurring statistical or spatial analyses (with small-ish data sets). It’s also a great way to set up a simple server or experiment with Linux. This guide is aimed at newcomers to the world of Raspberry Pi and Linux, but who have an interest in setting up a Python environment on these $35 credit card sized computers.

However, modern hackers have evolved and learned to think big, as they steal data from large corporations and only “borrow” the processing power of the little man’s computer. In their latest scheme, revealed by security experts, hackers have infected over 200 thousand computers with crypto mining malware by using free games.\nAccording to IGN, sourcing from a BCC News report, hackers are releasing free copies of AAA games like Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, and Pro Evolution Soccer, laced with crypto mining malware called Crackintosh. This potentially devastating malware in thse free games allows hackers to infect a computer and use gamers’ gaming rigs for mining a specific cryptocurrency, called Monero, without the user’s knowledge – and the cybercriminals have already successfully harvested more than $2 million in said cryptocurrency.\nBut why would hackers target video games instead of using other means to gain access to a PC? The answer lies in the PC’s processing power. Mining cryptocurrencies requires powerful hardware, and the local post office’s PC simply isn’t powerful enough for effective mining, which is why office-based generic-hardware PCs usually aren’t targeted. On the other hand, gaming PCs feature incredibly powerful hardware with incredible processing capabilities, making them perfect candidates for the job. And what better way to distribute malware to powerful gaming PCs than through pirated AAA software and free games? Well played, hackers.\nBut gamers looking for free games aren’t the only ones being targeted. Several high-profile gaming and tech companies, like Sony and Capcom, were also targeted by hackers. The repercussions of these data breaches resulted in thousands of banned PS3 consoles, and in Capcom’s case, it unearthed the game developer’s illegal digital art acquisitions, which resulted in a lawsuit.\nSo it was pretty well played that their affair with these free games wasn’t noticed until just recently; the system was discovered by a team of researchers at Avast, a software security company. According to them, the downloads of “cracked” software, in this case, video games, have spread the malware so much that there are approximately 800 new cases per day. Furthermore, the company stated that at least 200 thousand computers have been affected by the malware, with the numbers rising.\nOnce installed, Crackintosh will use the PC’s processing power to harvest Monero, severely impacting the computer’s performance.

They're the first generation to not be able to recall a time before smartphones, apps, and social media platforms.\nAs we've seen with many other types of behaviour in recent years — from how teens consume news to their dating habits — Gen Zers who spend more time on the internet are also changing how they use it.\nAccording to numerous reports, Generation Z is more diverse than previous generations, and they are less concerned about privacy than older people. Generation Z is the most connected generation ever, with 90 percent of them owning a smartphone and having internet access in their homes.\nThey use technology to multi-task and connect with friends, family, and even strangers more often than any previous generation, and overall, this generation is optimistic about tech’s future role in society.\nGen Zers are multi-tasking digital natives. They’re connected to their friends and family, but in a very different way than the older generations. Social media has become a part of everyday life, and Gen Z is using it in a very different way..\nYou may be wondering how teens are using the internet. Well for example, teens are more likely to talk to their parents on social media than any other age group. They’re also more likely to use social media to keep in touch with their friends while they were separated from them, which is surprising because most people would assume that younger children would want to be able to meet them in person regularly.\nThe internet is a place where they can be themselves, feel comfortable, and connect with others who think like they do — it's a place where they can learn new things and find answers to their questions and problems.\nA person who is a part of a social network or online community is considered to be \"social.\" The word \"social\" is used in many different ways, but the basic idea is that people from different backgrounds and cultures are able to interact and form healthy relationships.\nYounger teenagers who don't remember a time before Facebook use the internet differently from older users. They're more likely to be digital natives, meaning they have grown up with technology and have always had access to the internet.\nSo while older generations may be more conservative in their online behaviour, Gen zers are less concerned with privacy and are open about posting personal information online. Moreover, Gen zers tend to use social media as an outlet for self-expression, rather than just communicating with others. They also use it as an opportunity to express themselves creatively through posts or videos on YouTube or Instagram stories.\nThis generation is different from the past, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. As more data comes in about these young people, we can better understand how they fit into society and how to help them succeed.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Phishing is an attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information from your computer / your online accounts, such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity. For example, there are reports of phishing emails that falsely appear to be your trusted networks such as eBay, PayPal, or even your banks and financial institutions. These fraudulent emails ask users to update their information; billing information, take action on a disapproved ad, edit their account, or accept new terms and conditions. In some cases, the links may lead to websites that install malware applications and scripts onto your computer.\nIf you’ve receive a phishing email that attempts to fraudulently collect passwords, credit card numbers, or other sensitive information, please report it to your trusted network immediately and make them aware of fraudulent activities in their behalf.\nTips to protect ourselves from phishing:\n- Don’t reply to, or click links within, emails that ask for personal, financial, or account information.\n- Check the message headers. The ‘From:’ address and the ‘Return-path’ should reference the same source. If necessary, look at the expanded header as some phishing usevulnerableemail servers to rout their messages.\n- Instead of clicking the links in emails, go to the websites directly by typing the web address into your browser, cut and paste, or use bookmarks.\n- If on a secure page, look for “https” at the beginning of the URL and the padlock icon in the browser.\n- Use a browser that has a phishing filter (Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Opera).\n- Use strong passwords. A strong password should be unique; include letters, numbers, and symbols; and be changed regularly.\n- If you ever need to change your account information, such as your billing details or your password, you should always sign in to your account from the main login page of your trusted network (i.e. your bank’s main website) and make the changes directly within your account.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Human-robot love is no longer the stuff of science fiction, AFP reports.

I did ask Daniel if he had some, so I can add some to the post. He hasn’t set up an affiliate program yet. I thought I’d review the plugin now, rather than wait for affiliate links; if you’re a blogger or website owner, you need to be aware of it sooner rather than later.\nSocial media images can drive traffic to blog posts; think of them as a call to action. When you share a post on Twitter or Facebook, a picture is displayed.\nPersonally, my attention gets drawn to the image, then the snippet of text, and then the title. I’m not alone in this way of thinking; that’s why having decent quality social media images for sharing is critical in driving traffic to your blog/website.\nWhen sharing posts or pages on social media, it’s the featured image that’s shown. Some WordPress plugins let you choose a different picture (instead of the featured image) for social media, SEO plugins, social sharing plugins, etc.\nAll well and good, but what about the automation and customization of images for social media?\nWhat if I told you there’s a new plugin that aims to change the game when it comes to blog images. One that’s supposed to make things easier automate it and add text overlays, and drive traffic to your website/blog?\nWould you be interested in finding out more? Cool. Read on.\nAbout The Social Image Generator WordPress Plugin\nBorn of an idea from Daniel Post (the plugin author), the Social Image Generator’s whole purpose is to make bloggers and website owners lives more manageable when it comes to social media imagery. By automation.\nYou spend hours creating content, sourcing images, and such. Perhaps like me, you use a platform like Canva to create featured images. Enticing a visit, and encourage social sharing.\nSocial Image Generator looks to alleviate that stress. Here are some of the features it offers:\nAutomatic generation of social media images based on your featured image.\nFully compatible with Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, VK, WhatsApp, iMessage, Reddit & more.\nIt comes with a template editor with different designs to choose from.\nDeveloper friendly – I can’t cover this as I’m not a developer!\nYes, I’ve lifted the features off the plugin’s website; I just wanted to give you an idea of what to expect. I think we can agree; it all sounds promising enough. What about the pricing structure?\nSocial Image Generator Plugin Pricing\nAs of now, the plugin hasn’t even been released. Daniel, very kindly let me take a look at the plugin and test it for review purposes.\nLooking at the pricing structure, it seems quite fair to me. Daniel did mention in an email that each plan has two activations. One for a site and one for a development site.\nThose of you who like to test to make sure everything is working correctly before pushing to a live site is a godsend.\nI say the pricing looks fair; the reason for that is if this plugin can do what it says on the tin, imagine how much time it could save you as a fellow blogger or website owner?\nLet’s install this sucker and see what it can do. Bearing in mind, this is a beta version (as yet unreleased), so there ‘could’ be some issues.\nInstalling Social Image Generator\nBefore I begin the installation, the first thing I’ve noticed is the ZIP file came in at 9.7MB, which is fairly sizable.\nPlugin installed, now for the activation.\nOnce activated, some plugins take you to an overview or at least some kind of settings page. Not the case with the Social Image Generator plugin.\nI managed to find the settings page; it’s under > Tools > then Social Image Generator.\nSocial Image Generator Settings\nSo the meat of SIG settings (yes, I will use an abbreviation, my fingers hurt) looks to reside here.\nLicense key for adding your license in no brainer, and the Cache.\nAs it states underneath the Image Folder (I’ve blurred the URL), “Social Image Generator saves all generated images.” with a total count of how many are saved.\nAlso, there’s a setting to Refresh Images by clearing the cache via a click of a button.\n“Social Image Generator automatically generates new images when necessary and saves them in the folder above. If something went wrong, you can clear the cache manually to regenerate all images.”\nI’ll see if I can test this out as well.\nBack to the top, and probably what you’ve been waiting for the Template.\nSocial Image Generator & Templates\nTemplates act as the default style for your social media images. Using the template editor, you can change various settings. Let’s take a look through the templates first.

Well, here are the options for this template:\nSite Title here, you can click to display your site title, the name of your website.\nSite Link displays the actual physical URL of your site.\nImage or, in other words, the logo of your site.\nText choosing this option will display the title of your post.\nNo Logo as it states.\nYou can change the colors of elements; it depends on what you need; each option will have a color setting associated with it.\nI’ve made some changes to this template, and this is what I discovered:\nIn this example, I’ve gone with an image logo. A pretty cool feature is the ability to resize the logo by dragging on the blue icon dot, as shown in the image above.\nAlso, I’ve added some custom text instead of the example text; this gives me a better idea of how things will look. Plus, I’ve changed the background color to be more in keeping with my site LayerWP.\nThis is a reasonably straightforward example, so let’s kick it up a notch and choose a template with an image. After all, we want to make this eye-catching!\nImages In Templates\nThis next example uses an image or featured image. There are a few more settings available when using an image:\nI’ve chosen the Edge template, and I quite like the style of it. You’ll notice in the screenshot I’ve highlighted the Fallback Image.\nIt’s here you can upload an image in case a post or page doesn’t have one. We all forget to add a photo now and again, so this is a nice feature.\nI’ve changed the background color and increased the size of the logo to fill some space.\nHere’s what I’ve learned so far:\nYou can’t change the text size; in fact, you can’t change the text size on any of the templates.\nYou can’t reposition the text, nor can you move the logo (save for increasing or decreasing it in size.\nYou can’t change the font.\nYou can’t adjust the featured image position.\nI don’t know whether or not the above will end up being features further down the road. It would be nice to have the options, though.\nI’ve gone through all the templates and can confirm none of the above are in place.\nWhat is pretty cool though, is switching between the templates keeps your text, logo, and Fallback image on display instead of redoing them.\nI’ve found one I like the look of now, with the image as a background. Take a look at the below example:\nSo what happens now? Let’s take a look at creating a new post in the backend of WordPress. See if there are any more options and what it looks like!\nAutomatic Social Media Images In Posts/Pages\nI’ve created a test post entitled “A Test Post For Social Media Image Generator.” imaginative, right? It serves a purpose.\nI’m using the Gutenberg editor for this example; for those of you using the classic editor, I’ll cover you as well, don’t worry.\nOptions in Gutenberg/Block Editor\nThese options are under Post options, not Block. The ones with Status & visibility etc. Scrolling down, you’ll see the option as displayed in the image above.\nNote the image? It’s the featured image for the post itself. Now it gets fancy. I like it. I like it a lot.\nCustom Text in Social Image Generator\nLet’s say you want to experiment; your post title is excellent for the search engines; what about social media? Could you make it more alluring?\nUsing the Custom Text feature, I’ve added in a new title. See below for the result:\nA killer feature. Perfect for those who like to experiment with different titles of posts/pages. The text updates in real-time as well, so you can see what it will look like and decide whether to run with it.\nRun experiments with different text, see which one increases social media traffic and shares. If it’s not working? Change the text; try something different. A brilliant feature indeed.\nIn no way, shape, or form affects the post/page’s actual physical title, only the image’s text.\nIt gets better.\nImage Type Setting\nThe default setting is Featured Image; however, should you wish to, you can choose a different image altogether—another brilliant feature.\nWhy do I like this feature? Adding a custom image and changing the image text is a great way to make small changes that could impact traffic.\nHave a better graphic or image? Or something completely insane, add it in, change the text, sit back, and see if it works. If it doesn’t work, change things up.\nThese two features alone could save bloggers vast amounts of time.\nLastly in Image Type, I’ve chosen no image:\nBy choosing no image your Fallback image from the Template Editor will be used, if you have no Featured Image in place.\nDisable Social Image\nIf you’d prefer not to have a social media image, then use the toggle, and the option will disappear. I can’t see why you’d want to do this, but it’s nice to see it as an option for those who’d like to disable it.\nDoes It Work With Pages As Well?\nYes, I can confirm 100%. Tested and works with pages, no point in showing you screenshots; it’s the same process!\nSocial Image Generator Example\nI’ve made a test post, as you know; here’s how it looks on the front end:\nThe first thing that strikes you is the Featured Image, not the social media image. What happens when you share the post on social media?\nFor that test, I will use Social Share Preview; it’s a great tool to see what your post/page will look like on social media. Take a look at the result below:\nI can confirm that Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin & Pinterest all work using this tool.\nScenario Time What If You Change The Template?\nFor the sake of argument, maybe you want to change your Template to something completely different. Perhaps you’ve changed the color scheme of your site and want to try something new. What happens then?\nIn the Template editor, I’ve chosen something different as below:\nTemplate change made. Navigating back to the test post:\nTemplate’s change has taken effect, fantastic now I don’t have to worry about any errors! Another great time-saving feature, I’m impressed with the Social Image Generator plugin so far.\nWhat About The Classic Editor, Not Everyone Uses Gutenberg. Will It Work?\nI’ve installed the Classic Editor plugin to strip out the Gutenberg Editor, as I understand many of you prefer it. That said, I’ve created a new post, and the Social Image Generator settings are there:\nDoes it work, though? Well, I need to publish the post and run it through Social Share Preview; here goes nothing 🙂\nFor those of you using the Classic editor, rejoice, Social Image Generator works. Noice.\nWhat About Image Sizes I Don’t Want Thousands of Images Housed On My Server\nI hear you on that one who does? The answer, no one. So me being me, I’ve done some testing for you all.\nTake the latest example; the one I created for the Classic Editor. The original image came in at 36KB.\nNow, doing some routing around, I managed to find the Social Share Image Generator image; I had to look at the source code to find it; there isn’t a directory you can view through the WordPress backend.\nWhat was the file size for it?\n198KB in total, so that’s quite a lot more. Considering the original image size and the additional elements such as my logo and title, and background style, it’s quite sizable.\nIf you’re a blogger and have thousands of posts, the Social Image Generator image folder could become quite sizable indeed. So please bear that in mind.\nClarification on Caching from Daniel Post Via Twitter\nOne thing I hadn’t mentioned yet: SIG actually has a fairly advanced caching system, which should hopefully help limit the impact on file size.\nIn short: images are cached for a week by default (this can be changed with one line of code to any arbitrary amount of time).\nWhen an image gets pulled (for example, posted on FB) the “caching deadline” automatically resets to a week. Once a day, all images which are past this deadline (haven’t been used in a week) get deleted from storage. This ensures your storage doesn’t get clogged with old files.\nThis is fantastic news and should allay any fears of a burgeoning server!!\nDoes Social Image Generator Keep All The Image Variations?\nIt’s an important question, and I wondered whether it did as well. Thankfully it doesn’t; every time you change to a different template or add custom text to a post or page, it overwrites the image.\nI tested this by finding the image URL, then changing the custom text, and refreshing the image URL, and I can confirm it overwrites!\nPotential Applications For Social Image Generator\nI, for one, am loving SIG. Sure it could be better (more on that later); let’s dig into potential application areas. Writing up this review, I had a few ideas (as I usually do), and one of the fantastic ways to use SIG, would be with WooCommerce.\nI’ve installed WooCommerce, A) to see if SIG works with it and B) to satisfy an idea I’ve just had.\nSadly there are no settings in products for Social Image Generator, but it does work. See below for what I mean:\nPerhaps it’s a feature on its way? Remember this is a pre-release version of Social Image Generator.Technically this is not a bug.\nI was interested in seeing if I could create a call to action for a product using the custom text option.\nImagine being able to create a coupon in WooCommerce then pasting it into the custom text within SIG. Creating social sharing images with coupon codes, discounts, and special pricing wouldn’t that be amazing!\nIt looks like the functionality is there, just a case of wiring things up, I for one would love to see this!\nCustom Post Types Does Social Image Generator Work With Them?\nWell, I’ve installed Custom Post Type UI available freely on WordPress.org. Why? Well, if you have custom post types, you need to know if it works or not!\nSo I’ve found a bug; I’ve created a custom post type, and when I navigate to add a new post for the custom post type, I have the following error:\nHow do I know this is down to Social Image Generator? Well, I deactivated it, and things went back to normal!\nIn fairness to Daniel, he did say there would be some bugs, and if I’m truthful, it would be incredibly hard of me to mark this plugin down for this, especially when it is not even released!\nThis review post is brought to you by WordPress Website Maintenance by Edison Avenue Consulting LLC.

The main development is that\nI've added a graphical user interface to make it easier to use. I've\nalso added features to further three goals:\n1) Facilitating analysis of noisy ERP data, such as developmental or\nclinical, by the application of automated artifact correction and\nrobust statistics at both the averaging stage and the inferential\n2) Facilitating multivariate decomposition of ERP data, preferably\nusing a combination of EEGlab's ICA rotation for the spatial mode and\nthe Promax PCA rotation for the temporal mode.\n3) Facilitating inferential data analysis of ERP data using robust\nstatistics not previously available with a user interface.\nThe tutorial provides in-depth guidance on how to use the Toolkit.\nThis release is currently in beta (meaning no known bugs but it is\nstill undergoing testing and there are likely further bugs lurking).\nIf you are interested in trying it out, you can download it from the\nThis version of the EP Toolkit is more computationally demanding so it\nrequires Matlab 2006 or more recent. It also needs at least 2GB of RAM\nand preferably 4GB or more. In general, the faster the computer, the\nbetter. It has been extensively tested on OS X and is currently\nundergoing testing on Windows XP. It can read text, EEGlab .set, EGI\nsimple binary and EGIS, Biosig EDF, and Neuroscan AVG files. I'd be\nhappy to implement support for other file formats if a user is willing\nto help test them. The EGI format files it saves can in turn be read\nby programs like EEGLab and BESA.\nIn order to use Repov's new OS X compiled runICA code, the attached\nbinica.m file would need to be used to address a bug that otherwise\ncan crash the session. Likewise, to use .set files produced by EEGlab\nafter importing the files from other formats, the following attached\npopfileio.m file would need to be used so that the .set files are\ncorrectly formed and thus readable by the EP Toolkit. The changes\nhave been submitted to Arno and hopefully (if they meet with his\napproval) will be incorporated into a future EEGlab release (not yet\nincorporated as of eeglab7_1_4_15b).\nIf you find any bugs, please let me know ASAP so I can fix them.

This free video conferencing app lets you set up office meetings or reconnect with friends, each offering something unique in return.\nFor simple video calls with friends, you can always turn on FaceTime or WhatsApp. But if someone doesn’t use Apple or doesn’t have WhatsApp, you need another option.\nAnd then there are office meetings and professional video conferencing calls, which require other features. From recording an entire video call to adding a timestamp note to a meeting for a few minutes, you can do a lot more with this app than WhatsApp or Facetime.\nItsHello (Web): Fast Video Call, No Registration, No Download\nWant to start a video call right away without signing up for an account or jumping through other hoops? ItsHello is the fastest and easiest way to start a video call. You can use it for office meetings or quick close calls.\nGo to the site starting a new room for yourself. Share that room’s URL with others, and they can join. At a time, up to six participants can chat. URLs work with WebRTC-enabled desktop and mobile browsers, which are almost all modern browsers.\nItsHello even includes basic screen sharing, where you can share the full screen or only certain apps. This is useful when you want to walk someone through the steps of setting up an app, as you can demonstrate it on the screen.\nRoundee (Web): Video Conference Recording and Timestamped Notes\nFor a quick face-to-face meeting, ItsHello is a great solution. But the professional environment needs more features. Roundee is the best free video conferencing app for office meetings, considering the things you can do on a free account.\nThe most impressive features are meeting recordings and notes. Hosts can record entire video calls for up to an hour, free of charge. One hour calls can also be downloaded. These recordings are available for up to three months.\nDuring a call, the host can also press Alt + N to add a note, which can serve as meeting minutes or point to important timestamps so you know when a discussion is taking place. Recordings and notes can be shared with others after the call.\nRoundee allows up to six people on a single video call, invited via your own URL. It includes support for screen sharing, has a built-in whiteboard, and you can share files too. It also integrates with Slack, if you use it for your team chats.\nJitsi Meet (Web, Android, iOS): Best Free Video Conferencing Alternative for Appear.in\nJitsi has been around for a long time as one of the best free Skype alternatives. But Jitsi’s fairly new off-shoot, Jitsi Meet, is simpler, easier, and probably a better video conferencing app altogether. So much so that I think it’s better than Appear.in.\nYou don’t need to register to use Jitsi Meet, creating a new room is a snap. Share the URL with others to get them to join, and add a password if you want to protect it. Jitsi Meet has a lot of cool features built in, including recording videos to Dropbox. This obviously takes up some of your Dropbox space, but it’s free to shoot videos like Roundee, minus the recorded timestamps.\nJitsi Meet also integrates with YouTube so you can start a live stream or watch a video together. The “raise hand” feature lets you draw attention to yourself when you want to speak without interrupting the current speaker. Moderators have additional options such as mute or hide new participants.\nJitsi Meet focuses on calendar integration. Add your Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook Calendar to schedule Meet Jitsi calls in it. You can even initiate a call from within the calendar app.\nDownload: Jitsi Meet for Android | iOS (Free)\nProfiConf (Web): Free Video Conferencing for Large Groups up to 25\nMost free video conferencing tools limit calls to four or six participants. If you have a larger group, ProfiConf allows up to 25 participants in one video conference with the free plan, up to 250 people with the premium plan.\nThere are clear concerns about speed and lag with so many people, but Proficonf prides itself on its ability to work on slow connections. Other features include file sharing, screen sharing, and whiteboard. Hosts can also start a presentation slideshow for others to see in the meeting.\nHowever, there is one catch. ProfiConf limits video calls to 45 minutes. Then again, when you have so many people participating, that should be enough time for most meetings, especially if you run the meeting efficiently and stop wasting time.\nHouseparty (Chrome, Android, iOS): For Friendly Video Conferencing\nHouseparty is a video calling app that is a social network in itself. The idea is to start a video call with your friends and leave the room open so your friends or their friends can join in. If you want it to be a private call, you can lock the room as well.\nThis app changes the approach to group video calls by removing the “scheduling” aspect. If two of your friends make a video call, Houseparty will send you an alert. You are free to join, or ignore it and get on with your day. It makes group video calls as casual as group chats, so you can start and finish calls without too much fanfare.\nHouseparty has some cool features in it to make you spend more time in the app. You can host entertainment trivia games, for example, and challenge your friends. When a friend of a friend enters the chat, you may just make new friends with the same interests.\nYou can’t use it for office video conferencing and other professional purposes, but Houseparty is great for friends who want to be together more face-to-face.\nDownload: Houseparty for Android | iOS | Chrome (Free)\nThanks For Visit", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Due to the role of data changing, organisations are relying more and more on data science teams for data prep, machine learning, and model deployment.\nRapidMiner allows data science teams to be much more productive with one unified data science platform, which accelerates the building of complete analytical workflows in a single environment.\nAll of this goes towards dramatically improving efficiency and shortening the time to value for data science projects.

With talk back, full HD livestream and 360-degree motion sensor, Mi Home Security Camera 360 is quite useful as well.\nProducts: Mi Air Purifier 2S, Mi Home Security Camera 360\nPrice: ₹8,999, ₹2,699\nSmart homes may be big in the West but in India they are still at a nascent stage. The fundamental challenges are price and penetration of broadband connectivity. But it hasn't stopped brands from experimenting in the segment. While telecom major Reliance Jio has already announced a bunch of products, Xiaomi is also betting big on \"smart home\" solutions.\nLate last month, Xiaomi unleashed a new \"smart living\" portfolio featuring air purifiers, smart security system, fitness bands, and smart TVs. We have already reviewed Xioami's new Mi Band and smart TV. Let's take a closer look at Xiaomi's other two smart home devices - Mi Air Purifier 2S and Mi Home Security Camera 360.\nXiaomi Mi Air Purifier 2S\nIt is not the first air purifier from Xiaomi in India. The third-generation air purifier comes days ahead of Diwali when there usually a spike in air pollution.\nAt ₹8,999, Air Purifier 2S is among the most affordable smart air purifiers in the market right now. The new Xiaomi air purifier comes with some really smart features. For starters, it has an OLED digital display that shows you temperature, PM levels, and humidity. It also shows the mode (automatic or manual).\nGetting started with Mi Air Purifier 2S is quite easy. You need to download the Mi Home app on your phone (Android or iPhone). Log in or sign up with the application with your credentials. Tap on the plus icon on the right top of the screen and select the Mi Air Purifier 2S. The device will automatically show up on search screen. Follow the on-screen instructions which includes pairing the device with your home broadband. If you already own a Xiaomi phone, you just need to scan the QR code printed in the documents bundled with the box.\nMi Air Purifier 2S is quite impressive for its price point and doesn't take much space. The OLED panel comes with automatic brightness adjustment that changes the screen brightness depending upon the ambient light.\nMi Air Purifier 2S is said to detect particles as small as 0.3 μm and instantly displays the quality index on the screen. During our usage, Air Purifier did quickly change the AQI whenever there was high amount of indoor smoke. The fan speeds change depending upon the air quality indoors.\nXiaomi Mi Home Security Camera 360\nMi Home Security Camera 360 is quite an interesting and useful device. Priced at ₹2,699, Mi Home Security Camera 360 can rotate the lens in 360-degrees (horizontal). It supports full HD resolution live streaming, infrared night vision, and motion detection as well. While you can put it anywhere in your house, the Security Camera 360 can also be wall mounted.\nControlled via Mi Home app, Mi Home Security Camera 360 works really well and instantly brings in the live feed. You can even set the live stream quality to automatic for smoother streaming.\nThe Home app gives you the option to playback and save contents on your phone. The device comes with microSD slot for local storage.\nThe app features an on-screen joystick to control the motion of the security camera.\nThe highlight of Mi Home Security Camera 360 is the ability to talk back. Just tap on the voice call button within the Mi Home app to talk. You can also hear from the other side. The feature comes in handy if you have placed it on the front door and want to check before opening the door. Also, if you have a pet or someone in home you want to keep an eye when you're out, the camera is quite useful. It is also quite simple to set up unlike installing the complicated CCTVs with slightly lesser smart features.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "- Cyber security technology safeguards systems and safety-relevant components in vehicles against hacker attacks\n- Security begins in the production plant: Production sites worldwide are set to receive a security upgrade\n- Acquisition of Israeli startup Argus Cyber Security, Continental is further expanding its expertise in the field of automotive cyber security\nAuburn Hills, Mich., March 23, 2018 – The trend towards digitalization, connectivity and automated driving means vehicles are becoming part of the Internet of Everything. However, vehicles today are already potential targets for hacker attacks, which is why the security of data and safety-relevant components is a current concern in the automotive industry. Of particular importance, for example, is the protection of safety-critical components such as the brake system. After all, to achieve the goal of accident-free driving or “Vision Zero”, vehicles and the infrastructure have to communicate with each other through digital connectivity. This, however, potentially opens doors for hackers, meaning that digital systems must not only be functionally reliable but also resistant to external attacks. As a result, the technology company Continental uses cyber security technology to ensure comprehensive protection against possible hacker attacks on safety-relevant vehicle components and in production plants.\n“Our experts are working to bring security to the next level and safeguard our systems against hacker attacks, including the production security in our plants. The first production lines have already been equipped to integrate cyber security functions into the products,” said Robert Beaver, Chief Engineer Vehicle Dynamics at Continental. “Security affects every single vehicle component, which is why not only communication interfaces need to be protected but also – and especially – safety components such as brakes systems need to be as well.”\nCryptographic processes for a safety-relevant system have been implemented for the first time in the latest brake system, the MK C1. With the MK C1, the brake actuation feature, the brake booster and the control systems (ABS and ESC) are combined into a compact, weight-saving braking module. The MK C1 is more dynamic, lighter and more compact than conventional brake systems and has been specially developed for vehicles with extensive advanced driver assistance systems as well as recuperation and automated driving capability.\nAs the level of connectivity and the number of in-vehicle interfaces grow, this necessitates increase, and so does the risk of hacker attacks. Hackers are motivated by many reasons, which include data theft, financial interests and reputation. In response, Continental is strengthening all possible points of attack and implementing cyber security solutions on multiple levels and layers: on the first level, the individual electronic system components are protected; on the second level, communication between the in-vehicle systems is protected; on the third level, all the vehicle’s external interfaces are protected; and on the fourth level, data processing outside the vehicle is protected against theft and manipulation and also includes cloud and backend solutions. These offerings have been significantly augmented with the multiple end-to-end solutions provided by Israeli startup, Argus Cyber Security, which Continental recently acquired.\nIndividual security key for maximum security\nAll future products from Continental – including the MK C1 – will contain cryptographic functions that can be used to introduce security keys. These keys are generated individually for each product, which ensures maximum security — even if one car is hacked, a second one is still protected.\n“The keys can be used for various operations and cannot be read externally, just like the PIN for your smartphone,” said Dennis Kutschke, Cyber Security program manager at Continental. “When it comes to cyber security, Continental also learns from the experiences and technologies in other industries. Cyber security is relevant to vehicle systems not only when they are integrated but also during the loading of software and digital keys— which is why a special production security concept valid for all locations is being introduced worldwide. The concept is based on a risk analysis conducted to identify weaknesses. Automotive manufacturers, too, benefit from being able to transfer their own keys to the system via the secure Continental network.”\nBeing quicker than the hackers\nCyber security is an asymmetric challenge. While Continental must keep its eyes on many systems, hackers need to identify a single weakness.\n“It’s an ongoing race between the people who want to protect the systems and those that want to hack into them,” said Kutschke. “This is why it is so important to act as quickly as possible whenever any weakness is identified.”\nContinental has introduced an incident response management system, which is an additional layer of security that responds immediately if there is an attack. This was developed with the expertise of Argus Cyber Security. Together with Elektrobit, which specializes in embedded and connected software solutions, the security experts have already unveiled an all-in-one solution for over-the-air software updates. This solution will ensure that millions of cars can instantly be upgraded to the latest security level without having to visit the auto repair shop, an important requirement for “Vision Zero” – a future without road deaths, injuries or accidents. Continental is also utilizing this knowhow to support car manufacturers in all matters relating to cyber security.\nContinental develops pioneering technologies and services for sustainable and connected mobility of people and their goods. Founded in 1871, the technology company offers safe, efficient, intelligent and affordable solutions for vehicles, machines, traffic and transport. In 2017, Continental generated sales of €44 billion and currently employs more than 238,000 people in 61 countries.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Transform your fleet—and then your business.

I've searched for an app that lets me do both in a simple way, but none exist that I can find. Most food diary apps are about tracking calories to lose weight.\nI decided to design my own app. Since the app is for my needs, I did not do any research as part of this project. I also wanted to practice following Google's Material Design and Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, so I designed these apps in native Android and iOS style.\nAs I thought through what I would need to do with the app, I outlined the screens that would be needed, and how they'd be connected. You'll see later that the screens and flow changed as I was working on the design, but this first step helped figure out the general flow of the app.\nAs shown below I decided not to include a sharing screen, or a statistics/timeline screen. They would have doubled the complexity of the design for not much gain, since it's a personal food diary only. If I need to show it to a dietician, for example, I can simply show them my phone.\nOnce I knew which screens I'd need, I very roughly laid out the content on each screen. I did this for both Android and iOS, since the content would be in slightly different places depending on platform standards. Here is the iOS layout.\nI named the app \"Food Log\". \"Log\" refers to a diary, but is also an immature pun for going to the toilet.\nI didn't want to use any kind of pre-built component library for Android and iOS, because that wouldn't teach me a lot about the platform differences. I recreated all of the platform components and styles from scratch. First, I started by creating a blank screen template that was the right size and had areas blocked out for system use.\nNext I referred to Material and the Human Interface Guidelines for the proper controls in each of these cases, and designed the screens based on the earlier rough content versions.\nThe Bristol Stool Chart mentioned on this screen is a way for people to refer to the nature of their stools without having to bring in a sample. A doctor or dietician can ask a person which \"type\" on the chart their stool most resembles. It's a very useful standardised way of referring to these things. I avoided showing the images that are on the chart by default, because if someone is watching you use this app you might be embarrassed if they're visible. Instead, the user can reveal them if they want to.\nBefore this project, I had never designed a mobile app to closely match what Apple and Google recommend for native apps on their platforms. This project has made me more comfortable with what's required of a platform-specific app.\n← Back to portfolio", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Links to download firmware and software for ZetPro Smart equipment\nHow to update the firmware in the IPC\n1.

Whatever the reason is, this is how you fix it:\nKeep in mind that this will impact every download in the future from the Google Play Store. If you want to disable it, repeat the same steps and reverse your choice.\nYour screen locks after a set amount of time. Someone can access your information in a public space if you put your phone down without locking it. If they swipe your phone while it’s unlocked, they have greater access to your apps and information. Try this:\nSelect a shorter period for lockout. This will not be affected if you’re viewing media, so shorter times are still usable.\nBeyond security issues in public spaces, you also save battery by locking the screen faster. If you’re known for leaving your screen unlocked when you place it down, this will help reduce the number of recharges you need, prolonging your battery life.\nEver turn off Wi-Fi and forget to turn it back on once you get home? Bye-bye, monthly data cap. You can use this option to effortlessly turn Wi-Fi back on without having to remember. Here’s how:\nThis will auto-connect you to trusted Wi-Fi networks when you’re within reach. That means when you get home, you’re back on Wi-Fi. If you go to a friend’s house and your phone remembers that network, it will auto-connect while you’re there and save your data.\nIf you lose your phone or wind up in an accident, getting access to emergency contact information is vital for anyone trying to help you or return your missing phone. Here’s how you can display this information on the lock screen without giving anyone access to your phone.\nMost people are good. If someone encounters your missing phone, they can use theirs to call your emergency contact and discuss a way to get it back in your hands.\nIs your display looking a little dull? Out-of-the-box color settings are rarely the best since there’s no way the manufacturer can know what will look best to your eyes. Here’s how to fix it:\nThis changes depending on the manufacturer. Some phones will have differently named options. Flick through them to find out which looks best to you.\nSometimes notifications can be a bother.

The heat-treatment shop floor is a flow shop with parallel batch processors and incompatible jobs. The jobs differ from each other in product types, sizes, release times, and due-dates. The scheduling objective is to minimize manufacturing cost, including energy cost, subcontracting cost, and jobs’ tardiness penalties cost. A hierarchical production planning structure is proposed, which contains three decision-making levels: (1) balancing capacity and demand, (2) machining at the quenching stage, and (3) machining at the tempering stage. At the first level, the periodic rolling scheduling heuristic is proposed for the purpose of balancing the capacity and the demand in the coming period in the heat-treatment shop floor. At the second and third levels, two new look-ahead batching heuristics are proposed. An extensive computational experiment is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed heuristics.\nProduct quality, delivery, and price are three elements for which customers are concerned in the mould market. Most jobs of mould production need a heat-treatment operation between cutting machining and finish machining. The heat-treatment process is very important to ensure the precision, intension, and the life-span of mould production (cf. ). Companies which offer on-time delivery generally have a better chance of retaining customers and receiving subsequent orders. However, a major challenge faced by the mould industry is difficult in meeting customers’ due-dates. Heat-treatment is an important process in mould manufacturing for the timely delivery of jobs. However, the mould heat-treatment furnace is a kind of exiguous resource and thus often becomes bottleneck resource, leading to frequent delay of the heat-treatment operation. Heat-treatment is also an energy consuming process (cf. ). The jobs always need to be heated dozens of hours on heat-treatment furnaces which uses a lot of power. It is important to control the manufacturing cost of heat-treatment for reducing the cost of mould production. Raw material cost, equipment depreciation cost, energy cost, subcontracting cost, and staff wages are dominant manufacturing costs in heat-treatment shop floor. In addition, another hidden cost that cannot be ignored is the cost of jobs’ tardiness penalties. When raw material, equipment depreciation cost, and wages remain unchanged, controlling the amount of energy consumption, subcontracting, and tardiness is critical to control the manufacturing cost. The scheduling objective in this paper is to minimize the manufacturing cost of the heat-treatment.\nHeat-treatment shop floor is a flow shop which contains the quenching process and the tempering process. The flow chart of heat-treatment shop floor is shown in Figure 1. There are multiple heat-treatment furnaces at the quenching stage and the tempering stage, respectively. Heat-treatment furnace allows simultaneous processing of multiple jobs of mould, which differ from each other in material, sizes, and due-dates. Different materials have different heating temperatures and processing methods in heat-treatment. For example, for the mould jobs made from Cr12Mov or H13, in order to increase the harden ability, the tempering operation must be performed three times after each quenching operation. And most of the other materials need only once tempering after quenching. Thus, only the mould jobs with the same material can be processed in the same furnace. Batch process times are constant, specific to product material, and do not depend on the number and size of the products in the batch.\nHeat-treatment is usually not the first operation in the mould manufacturing system. Jobs arrive at the heat-treatment shop floor in a dynamic way from upstream operations. Since the mould is an order oriented production, the job processing time is not always the same as expectation for a new mould. If the production planning of the heat-treatment shop floor is made by a fixed period, the actual batches and machining times will be usually different than the plan, since the arrival times of the jobs at the heat-treatment shop floor are always different from expectation. How to establish an effective scheduling mechanism to improve the robustness of the production plans, this issue has plagued the workshop manager. The heat-treatment furnace is the bottleneck resource in the mould manufacturing system. On the production season of demand greater capacity, in order to reduce the amount of lateness, manager often subcontracts some mould jobs to other companies. However, subcontracting needs longer preparation times and higher cost. Therefore, how to choose the suitable subcontracting jobs is another decision issue in this study.\nThis paper focuses on the dynamic control of parallel batch machines in the mould heat-treatment shop floor, which is subject to nonidentical jobs with different product types, sizes, release times, and due-dates. A hierarchical production planning structure is proposed to minimize manufacturing cost, including energy cost, subcontracting cost, and jobs’ tardiness penalties cost. A periodic rolling scheduling strategy is proposed to select the subcontracting jobs. Based on a look-ahead batch control strategy, two machining control strategies at the quenching stage and tempering stage are proposed, respectively.\nThe remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, a short review of related literature is proposed. In Section 3, the mould heat-treatment system is described with the problem definition, and a hierarchical production planning structure is proposed. In Section 4, the heuristic algorithms are proposed for the hierarchical production planning. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed heuristics, a computational experiment is designed and the outcomes are analyzed in Section 5. Finally, conclusions are made in Section 6.\n2. Related Literature\nProduction control of a batch process has been widely studied in the literature. There are two decision approaches to assign resources to jobs: scheduling and real-time control.\nScheduling is the task of allocating available production resources (machine, labor, material, etc.) to jobs over time with full knowledge of future job arrivals and system status (cf. ). Jia et al. presented a metaheuristic for makespan minimization in parallel batch machines with nonidentical job sizes and incompatible job families. Hulett et al. proposed a particle swarm optimization algorithm for minimizing total weighted tardiness on nonidentical parallel batch processing machines. Arroyo and Leung proposed an effective iterated greedy algorithm for scheduling unrelated parallel batch machines with nonidentical capacities and unequal ready times. Su et al. established the model of steel making casting production and proposed a fuzzy genetic algorithm for this problem. Gokhale and Mathirajan addressed a scheduling problem for minimizing total weighted tardiness, observed in automobile gear manufacturing.\nReal-time control strategies of batch processing machine (BPM) can be categorized into two policies, threshold policy and look-ahead policy. The threshold policy is applied when there is no future arrival information available. Neuts introduced the minimum batch size (MBS) control strategy which is the most basic control strategy of threshold policy. A few works applied the MBS policy for systems with nonidentical jobs and parallel machines (cf. [10, 11]).\nThe look-ahead policy is applied when limited near-future arrival information is available to the decision-maker. Glassey and Weng may be the first to use near-future information for real-time BPM control. Early research in this domain mainly focuses on cycle-time related performance. But recently, more and more researchers deal with the real-time BPM control considering due-date. Gupta and Sivakumar presented LAB (look-ahead batch) control strategy for the single product single batch machine system with due-date objectives, such as average tardiness, maximum tardiness, and number of tardy jobs in batch processes. Later, Gupta et al. improved LAB to control delivery performance, which involves a trade-off between the conflicting objectives of minimizing earliness and tardiness related measures simultaneously. Liu et al. proposed a new LAB strategy to control two kinds of conflicting objectives related to the delivery and utilization performances, which achieved a trade-off based on the compromise programming method. Çerekçi and Banerjee proposed a new LAB control strategy for controlling cycle time performance of batch processors.\nBased on LAB strategy, three control strategies are proposed in this paper for the three decision-making stages in a mould heat-treatment shop floor with the objective of minimizing manufacturing cost, including energy cost, subcontracting cost, and jobs’ tardiness penalties cost. The scheduling environment we study is in a flow shop with parallel batch machines and nonidentical jobs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of LAB strategy in this regard.\n3. Problem Description\nThere are parallel quenching furnaces and tempering furnaces in the flow shop. Every job must go through the quenching process and then the tempering process. The heat-treatment process is not the first operation in mould manufacturing. The jobs arrive at the heat-treatment shop floor in a dynamic way from upstream shop floors. The jobs differ from each other in product type i, size, release time , and due-date . The larger the release time and processing time, the greater the due-date. Only the jobs with the same product type can be placed in the same batch. The quenching processing time and tempering processing time of each batch depend on the product type, regardless of the job size. Other assumptions made for the problem are summarized as follows. The batch capacity C is limited by the maximum loading sizes of the furnace. No additional jobs can be added or removed from a batch while the batch is being processed. Once a batch processing machine is started, it cannot be interrupted.\nThe objective is to minimize manufacturing cost C, which includes jobs’ tardiness penalties cost , subcontracting cost , and energy cost . In mould manufacturing, the completion time of the whole mould is usually decided by some key mould jobs. Once these jobs are tardy, it will seriously affect the production progress of the whole mould. Hence, the key jobs are set a higher tardiness penalty cost rate, so that they can be processed with higher priorities. The subcontracting cost () is proportional to the size of the subcontracting jobs. The energy cost of each batch is proportional to the energy cost rateand the processing time, regardless of the number and size of the jobs in the batch.\nThe following notations are used throughout this paper: : Set of jobs : Set of batches I: Set of product types : Set of machines at the quenching stage : Set of machines at the tempering stage : Quenching processing time for product type : Tempering processing time for product type : Size of job : Release time of job : Due-date of job W: Capacity of a machine : Tardiness penalty cost rate of job j (/h) : Energy cost rate (/h) : Subcontracting cost rate of job j (/L) : Completiontime of job j : Tardiness of job ; : 1, if job is completed by the subcontracting mode; 0, otherwise : 1, if product type i is in batch b; 0 otherwise : 1, if job j is in batch b; 0 otherwise : Tardiness penalties cost; : Subcontracting cost; : Energy cost;\nThe objective function is described as follows:\nThe near-future necessary information can be obtained from the computer integrated manufacturing environment. However, due to various stochastic and uncertain sources in mould manufacturing, the arrival times of jobs are always inaccurate. Generally speaking, only the arrival times of jobs in the most upstream operation are relatively accurate (called predicted future), while the arrival times of jobs in other upstream operations are difficult to predict accurately, which are called the roughly predicted future or random future. The division of the jobs in the upstream operation is shown in Figure 2.\nThe mould jobs arrive at the heat-treatment shop floor in a dynamic way from upstream shop floors. The workshop manager must make the production planning for the jobs and choose some jobs to be subcontracting when the demand is greater than the capacity. Traditionally, the production planning is made by a fixed period. However, if the fixed period is too long, the actual batches and machining times of the batches will be different from the production planning, since the release times of the jobs in the roughly predicted future are inaccurate; if the fixed period is too short, there is not enough time for subcontracting, since subcontracting needs a longer preparation time. Therefore, the batch plan, machining plan, and subcontracting plan are hard to be made simultaneously. Hierarchical production planning is proposed here to solve the issue. As shown in Figure 3, hierarchical production planning contains three decision-making levels: balancing capacity and demand, machining at the quenching stage, and machining at tempering stage.\nA periodic rolling scheduling strategy (PRS) is used to balance capacity and demand in the coming period, which does not need to assign the mould lot to a specific machine. The decision point is rolling by a fixed period. The subcontracting strategy is often used in the heat-treatment shop floor. Since subcontracting requires a longer preparation time, the control decision needs to be better at looking forward. More upstream operations should be considered in the predictive horizon. The upcoming jobs in the predicted future and roughly predicted future will be considered at the decision point. The jobs needed to be processed in this workshop will be placed in the buffer, which is assumed to have an unlimited storage capacity.\nThe quenching stage machining strategy (QSM) is used to choose the suitable jobs and put them in a batch and determine the starting time of the batch. The decision point is defined as one of the quenching furnaces becomes available or a new job arrives at an idle quenching furnace. Robustness of the control decision is important at this stage. Hence, only the jobs in the buffer and the upcoming jobs in the predicted future are considered at the decision point.\nAssume that all the furnaces for quenching and tempering have the same capacity. Every batch will not be split between the quenching stage and tempering stage. When there is more than one batch waiting for processing, the controller must choose which batch to be processed first. Traditionally, the first come first served (FCFS) rule is applied to solve this issue. However, the jobs with higher priority usually cannot be processed first by the FCFS rule, which usually causes a lot of tardiness penalties cost. The tempering stage machining (TSM) strategy is used to choose the suitable batch to be processed first. The decision point is defined as one of the quenching furnaces becomes available or a new batch arrives at an idle tempering furnace.\nExample 1. There are 10 jobs to be processed. All the jobs are in the buffer or in the predicted future. The release times (), due-dates (), sizes (), tardiness penalty cost rate (), and product types (i) of the jobs are provided in Table 1. There are two parallel machines in quenching stage and tempering stage, respectively. All machines have the same capacity, 100 litres. The processing time for quenching and tempering of type A job is (7, 8) hours, while type B job is (8, 10) hours. Energy cost rate is 100 /hour. The preparation time for subcontracting is 10 hours. Subcontracting processing time is 1.2 times the original processing time. The next section will introduce the solution process of this example.\n4. Heuristic Algorithms\n4.1. Periodic Rolling Scheduling (PRS) Heuristic\nThe periodic rolling scheduling heuristic is introduced in this section. The purpose of this heuristic is to balance the capacity and the demand in the coming period in the heat-treatment shop floor. Look-ahead in the decision point for near-future arrivals of the upcoming jobs within a fixed period is called the look-ahead window in this section. Since subcontracting needs preparation time, a wider look-ahead window can get better control. However, it is difficult to accurately predict the arrival times of the jobs which arrive a week later. Hence, the width of look-ahead window is set to be 6 days. Also, the adjustment of the look-ahead window is allowed.\nSince the arrivals of the jobs are not in a uniform manner, the jobs may arrive intensively in some periods of the look-ahead window, while being rare in arrival in other periods. In order to control the load in each period of the look-ahead window, the look-ahead window is uniformly divided into several control cycles. The number of control cycles in the look-ahead window can be set by the controller. Since the jobs need not be assigned to a specific machine in this scheduling strategy, hence only the capacity of each control cycle needs to be calculated, without the need to analyze the capacity of each machine. The capacity of a control cycle is equal to the sum of working hours of all the machines in this control cycle. The jobs will be classified according to product types and sorted in nondecreasing order of due-dates. Then, place the jobs in batches and calculate the demands of the quenching stage and the tempering stage, respectively. The demand of the quenching stage is equal to the sum of the quenching processing times of all the batches. The demand of the tempering stage is calculated in the same way.\nOnce the demand is greater than the capacity at one of the two stages in a control cycle, some suitable jobs are chosen to be subcontracting or left to the next control cycle. Which are the suitable jobs? The suitable jobs are chosen by the following two principles. (1) The total size of the subcontracting jobs is as light as possible, since subcontracting needs more cost. (2) Assuming the jobs which left to the next control cycle will be started at the earliest time of the next control cycle, if the amount of tardiness by subcontracting is less than that when they left to the next control cycle, the job will be subcontracting. The procedure of the period rolling scheduling strategy is proposed as follows.\n4.2. Quenching Stage Machining (QSM) Heuristic\nThe quenching stage machining heuristic is to choose the suitable jobs and put them in the batch for the current machine processing at the quenching stage. The LAB strategy has been widely used to control a single batch machine with a single product type. In this section, the LAB strategy will be refined for multiple parallel batch machines and multiple product types. The quenching stage machining heuristic follows a four-step algorithm.\nStep 1 (read jobs which are in the buffer or in the predicted future). In common practice, at any decision point, a batch is formed from the arrived jobs which are in the buffer. However, there are often cases of a high priority job arriving in the near future, which needs to be given priority for loading. Therefore, look-ahead at the decision point for the upcoming jobs in the predicted future. In order to ensure the robustness of scheduling, only the jobs in the buffer and the upcoming jobs in the predicted future are considered at the decision point.\nStep 2 (construct suggested scenarios for each product type individually). For each product type, at the decision point or at any time a new job arrives, a suggested scenario is formed. Each suggested scenario forms a batch in which all the arrived jobs of the same type are considered. The suggested start processing time of the batch is the latest arrival time of all the jobs considered. The size of the batch is equivalent to either partial or full machine capacity. If the total size of the considered jobs in the suggested scenario is larger than the machine capacity, the suitable jobs are chosen by combining the earliest due-date (EDD) rule and largest size (LS) rule.\nAccording to the data in Example 1, four suggested scenarios for product type A are constructed in Figure 4. At the decision point, scenario 1 is constructed by considering all the four jobs. Firstly, based on the EDD rule, the job is chosen to be put in the batch. Further, if the job is chosen, the cumulative size is 110L which exceeds the capacity constraint. Then other job is chosen based on the LS rule. Since the size of the job is larger than the size of the job, the job is considered first. Hence, the job is chosen to be put in the batch. Finally, the job and the job are put in the batch in scenario 1. At the time of the job arrival, scenario 2 is constructed. Supposing the due-date and size of the job are (3, 30L), based on the EDD rule and the LS rule, the job and the job are chosen to be put in the batch. Even though the job is not chosen, time 1 is set as the start processing time of the batch in scenario 2, since it is the latest arrival time of all the jobs we considered. When scenario 3 and scenario 4 are constructed, the effect of the job does not need to be considered, since it is not type A.\nStep 3 (compare the suggested scenarios and set the best suggested scenario as the suggested decision for each product type individually). The suggested scenario, where the sum of surplus capacity cost and penalty cost is the lowest, is set to be the suggested decision. The surplus capacity cost is defined as energy wastage due to the batch being not full. Suppose that there are n0 jobs of type i in the buffer and q0 jobs of type i in the predicted future. At a particular decision point , the job of type i arrives and a suggested scenario is constructed. The cost of surplus capacity can be calculated as\nSuppose that the job is the latest job of type i in the predicted future. Set the release time of the job as . In order to compare the performance of the penalty cost of each suggested scenario, max (t0, ) is set as the start processing time of the jobs which are not chosen to be put in the batch. Then, the cost of the penalty can be calculated as\nStep 4 (evaluate all the suggested decisions and take the action corresponding to the best suggested decision). The best suggested decision will be obtained by evaluating all the suggested decisions for each product type. The following principles will be used to select the best suggested decision.\nStep 4.1. Calculate the sum of the penalty amounts of the jobs in the batch. Select the suggested decision in which the sum of the penalty amounts is largest. If there are ties, then go to Step 4.2; else, go to Step 4.4.\nStep 4.2. Calculate the sum of the sizes of the jobs in the batch. Select the suggested decision in which the sum of the sizes is largest. If there are ties, then go to Step 4.3; else, go to Step 4.4.\nStep 4.3. Select the suggested decision in which the processing time is shortest. Go to Step 4.4.\nStep 4.4. Take the action corresponding to the best suggested decision.\n4.3. Tempering Stage Machining (TSM) Heuristic\nWhen one of the tempering furnaces becomes available and there is only one batch waiting for processing, or when the new batch arrives at an idle tempering furnace, the batch will put on the tempering furnace immediately. However, when one of the tempering furnaces becomes available and there is more than one batch waiting for processing, the suitable batch must choose to be processed first. An algorithm based on a look-ahead policy is proposed in the following.\nStep 1. Set t1 as the idle time of the current machine; assuming each batch is processed at t1, calculate the tardiness penalty cost for each batch, respectively, by the following equation:\nStep 2. Set t2 as the idle time of the next available machine; assuming each batch is processed at t2, calculate the tardiness penalty cost for each batch, respectively, by the following equation:\nStep 3. Calculate for each available batch, respectively, and take the batch in which the value is maximum to the current idle machine.\nIn Example 1, one of the machines in the tempering stage at time 15 is idle. The batch (signed by B1) with J9 and J10 and the other batch (signed by B2) with J3, J6, and J7 are waiting for processing at this decision point. The TSM algorithm is used to select the first processing batch. If both of the batches start at time 15, the penalty cost of B1 and B2 will be 200 and 190, respectively. If both of the batches start at the next idle time 16, the penalty cost of B1 and B2 will be 280 and 250, respectively. The penalty cost of both batches will increase 80 and 60, respectively. Hence, B1 will be chosen to process first. The Gantt chart for the jobs at the tempering stage is shown in Figure 6.\n5. Computational Experiment\n5.1. Design of the Experiment\nAn experiment is designed to demonstrate the potential of the proposed heuristics. The PRS heuristic is used to select the subcontracting jobs, and then the QSM heuristic and the TSM heuristic are used to put the jobs in batches and determine the order of each batch at both stages. The proposed heuristics will be compared with other rules. The setting minimum waiting jobs (SMWJ) rule and the setting maximum waiting time (SMWT) rule are widely adopted in the real-world mould heat-treatment shop floor. In SMWJ, once one of the types of the cumulative sizes of the arrived jobs reaches a minimum value, put these jobs in a batch and arrange the batch on the furnace. In SMWT, once the waiting time reaches a maximum value, the types in which the cumulative sizes of the arrived jobs are largest form a batch to be processed immediately.\nAt the quenching stage, consider the SMWJ rule only as a benchmark first. When one of the quenching furnaces becomes available, start the SMWJ rule. The minimum size is set to be 80% batch capacity W. After a lot of experiments, it is found that the performance of setting the minimum size to 60%, 70%, and 90% is inferior to 80%, so this paper only records the experimental results of 80%. Combine the SMWJ and SMWT rules as another benchmark for the quenching stage. When one of the quenching furnaces becomes available, start the SMWJ rule first; once the waiting time reaches the maximum value and no batch is formed yet, the types in which the cumulative sizes of the arrived jobs are largest form a batch. The maximum waiting time for SMWT is set to be (1/3) the mean quenching processing time (PT). At the tempering stage, consider the FCFS rule as a benchmark. It is a simple rule which is much applied in both practice and theory. The constructed four control strategies and their corresponding settings are listed in Table 2.\nThe release times of jobs are related to the traffic intensity ρ. Gupta and Sivakumar considered only a single batch and a single product. They assumed all job sizes are identical and defined the traffic intensity as\nIn this paper, since the jobs are nonidentical in size and there are multiple product types and machines, redefine the traffic intensity ρ as\nConsidering the production characteristics in the company, the length of the predictive horizon is set to be 144 hours. All of the jobs in the predictive horizon are generated by the settings in Table 2. There are 21 factor combinations in Table 2, i.e., 3 product types multiplied by 7 kinds of traffic intensity. For each factor combination, 100 independent instances are generated and the average values are recorded. All the algorithms are coded in the MATLAB language and implemented on a Pentium dual-core (2.00 GHz) computer with 2G RAM.\n5.2. Analysis of Experiment Results\nThe preceding section discussed the design of the computational experiment, the outcomes of which will be analyzed in this section. The manufacturing costs for alternative product types and traffic intensities are displayed in Figures 7(a)–7(c). The performances of algorithms PQT and QT are compared with the benchmark algorithms SF and SSF.\n(a) 2 product types\n(b) 4 product types\n(c) 6 product types\nFigures 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) present the scheduling results when the number of product types is two, four, and six, respectively. The manufacturing cost increases with the increase of traffic intensity, since, with higher traffic intensity, there are more jobs to be processed in the same period of time. The manufacturing cost calculated by algorithm SF is obviously higher than the other three algorithms. The algorithm QT is slightly better than algorithm SSF. The performance of algorithm PQT is the best of the four algorithms. It is worth mentioning that, with the increase of traffic intensity, the advantage of algorithm PQT is more obvious. This is because, with higher traffic intensity, more jobs will be tardy, especially when the demand is greater than the capacity. In algorithm PQT, some jobs are subcontracted and the number of tardy jobs will be decreased; hence the total manufacturing cost will be decreased. However, when the traffic intensity is less than 0.6, the manufacturing cost is not much different between algorithms PQT and QT. When the capacity is far greater than the demand, few jobs will be chosen to be subcontracted in the algorithm PQT. In this case, the scheduling results of algorithm PQT and QT are the same in practice.\nCompared with the three figures in Figure 7, when the traffic intensity is less than 0.8, and the number of product types is four and six, the performance of algorithm PQT is not obviously better than algorithms QT and SSF. However, when the traffic intensity is more than 1, the performance of algorithm PQT is obviously better than the other three algorithms for various numbers of product types. This is because, in algorithm PQT, in order to balance the load in each control cycle, some jobs will be subcontracted. However when there are multiple product types and the traffic intensity is relatively low, it is not needed to subcontract jobs. When the traffic intensity is more than 1, the tardiness penalties cost in algorithm PQT is obviously lower than the other three algorithms.\nFigures 8(a)–8(c) present the tardiness penalties cost for alternative product types and traffic intensities. As shown in Figure 8, with the increase of traffic intensity, the tardiness penalties cost increases significantly for algorithms QT, SF, and SSF; however the increase is slow for algorithm PQT for various numbers of product types.\n(a) 2 product types\n(b) 4 product types\n(c) 6 product types\n6. Conclusions and Future Works\nThis paper is motivated by mould heat-treatment processing in dynamic environments. The heat-treatment shop floor is a flow shop with parallel batch processors and nonidentical jobs. The jobs differ from each other in product types, sizes, and due-dates. The objective is to minimize the manufacturing cost, which includes energy cost, subcontracting cost, and tardiness penalties cost. The heat-treatment shop floor is in a sequential production system where jobs arrive in a dynamic way from upstream shop floors. According to the accuracy of arrival information, the arrival times of the jobs are divided into three situations: predicted future, roughly predicted future, and random future. A hierarchical production planning structure is proposed for the problem, which contains three decision-making levels: balancing capacity and demand, machining at the quenching stage, and machining at the tempering stage.\nThe PRS algorithm is proposed to balance the capacity and the demand in the coming period in the heat-treatment shop floor. Some jobs are chosen to be subcontracted when the demand is greater than the capacity. Since subcontracting needs preparation time, a wider look-ahead window can obtain better control. Hence, the upcoming jobs in the predicted future and roughly predicted future are considered at this stage. Two new LAB strategies are exploited for the machining at the quenching stage and the tempering stage, called QSM algorithm and TSM algorithm, respectively. The LAB strategy is refined for multiple parallel batch machines and multiple product types in these two algorithms. Robustness of the control decision is important at the quenching stage. Hence, only the jobs in the buffer and the upcoming jobs in the predicted future are considered at the decision point.\nAn extensive computational experiment is conducted to compare the performance of the proposed strategies with the benchmark strategies. Results indicate that the manufacturing cost can be obviously decreased by running the PRS algorithm, QSM algorithm, and TSM algorithm, especially when the demand is greater than the capacity. However, the PRS strategy does not contribute much to reducing manufacturing cost when the traffic intensity values are low or moderate. The performance of the PRS strategy is better when the number of product types is low.\nIn future work, this study can be extended to address different optimization objectives, such as inventory-related performance. Since high holding cost of products is not common in practice, other interesting extensions of the model may address the limitations on buffer size, setup times, and transportation times between stations. The effectiveness of these strategies might be improved by considering these characteristics in the problem.\nThe data used to support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon request.\nThe experimental data are generated by random way, and the method of generating data is explained in detail in Section 5.1.\nConflicts of Interest\nThe authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this paper.\nThis article is supported by the Hanshan Normal University doctoral startup project (QD201804024), the Pearl River S&T Nova Program of Guangzhou (201710010004), and the Special Plan Young Top-notch Talent of Guangdong (2016TQ03X364).\n- J.

Nowhere is this future more apparent than in Jaywick in the UK where 60% of the population have already either lost their jobs or are out of work, mostly because of the insurgence of automation and machine learning and the inevitable decline of jobs that these technologies have brought about.\nGiven the current lack of understanding and debate surrounding emerging technologies, very little is projected about the impact, both positive and negative, that automation and future technologies will have on our society.\nThrough this project, I collaborated with Jaywick’s local community to create a practical workshop where local people could build fully functioning crypto-miners to allow them a real means of generating a secondary, supplementary income.\nThis call to action aims to not only outline the very real potential of automated technologies but to also stimulate debate as to what we want our collective future to look like, and how we can ensure that future technologies are democratic and support the many and not the few.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "|\"rooting the box\" : SC Magazine : Blog : Home|\n\"rooting the box\"\nFirst Published: SC Magazine\nOne of the most interesting phases of any penetration test (or pentest) is the actual exploitation of the discovered vulnerabilities. Exploitation is used to not only categorically verify that the vulnerability exists (and is thus not a false-positive), but is also used as a stepping stone to gaining visibility and potentially access to hosts or data not initially accessible.\nWhen proposing to carry out a penetration test against a client’s environment, it is very important to correctly scope not only the extent of the environment under investigation, but to also address the bounds of any possible exploitation. The extent of exploitation possibilities is often driven by the technical understanding of the client’s nominated contact and their level of “ownership” of the environment. With this I mean how technically savvy they are, how great their understanding of the potential risks to exploitation, and how responsible they are for the environment should it all come crashing down around them.\nClients need to understand that exploitation is the single most dangerous part of a pentest and has the highest probability of either crashing or adversely affecting the performance of the host under investigation. Having said that - it’s all relative. One of the most common “unexpected” causes of systems being negatively impacted during a pentest prior to the exploitation phase is through standard port scanning procedures. It doesn’t happen very often (maybe only 1 in 200 remote hosts), but it can stop a service from operating or even crash the host or networking appliance. But then again – like I explain to my clients at the start of any pentest – while every precaution is taken by the consultants, not even the client can guarantee that their own laptop will start up each morning when they come into work.\nAcknowledging that vulnerability exploitation is the most dangerous phase of a pentest, it is vital that appropriate procedures be established between the client and the pentesters to control when, where and what type of exploitation may take place. In most cases vulnerability exploitation would only be required against high or critical risk vulnerabilities. Having discovered such a vulnerability during earlier phases of the pentest (e.g. service enumeration or vulnerability probing), my standard procedure would be to immediately contact the client’s technical contact and inform them of the vulnerability. If exploit material is available for the vulnerability, the consultants would carefully explain to the client how exploitation would occur and detail the consequences of exploitation. In the majority of cases the clients usually give the consultants the OK to commence with exploitation – although this may be scheduled for out-of-hours work.\nFrom experience, I have found it very important to carefully explain the method and the likely consequences of exploitation. For many classes of vulnerability, exploitation is a simple process of altering standard data submissions and gaining non-interactive access to host data (e.g. directory recursion of file paths and URLs to pull back copies of the password file). The impact on host stability is minimal and in the worst cases exploitation may create some a few temporary files on the host that must be removed by the system administrator at the end of the pentest.\nThere is however one class of vulnerability that exploitation quite often affects the stability of the host under study, but its existence also represents the greatest security threat to the host. These “buffer overflows” often enable attackers to inject their own code into the service and spawn off additional processes such as interactive command shells. Exploit code used by consultants is frequently designed to create an interactive command shell with administrator level permissions and is used to both investigate the file system of the compromised host and to also prepare the host as a jump point into other areas of the networked environment. Therefore, when explaining to the client, I inform them of the likely dangers to service integrity and carefully discuss any previously agreed limitations on the exploitation – in the majority of cases, exploitation is scheduled for out-of-hours or against test systems. Mutually agreed post exploitation limitations often include no installation of tools on the compromised host, no access to private and confidential client information on the host, and no creation of backdoors or additional user accounts.\nIt is unfortunate that many penetration testing teams (and even client security audit teams) place undue emphasis on the exploitation phase to the sacrifice of identifying other host vulnerabilities. While all pentesters enjoy “rooting the box”, care must be taken to identify all the other vectors that a malicious attacker could use to compromise the environments integrity. In the past I have see some pentesters spend days just trying to get one piece of exploit code to work against a particular host – totally neglecting all the other hosts within the scope of the engagement.\nIf the consultant is lucky they will compromise the host and dig up some interesting information that can be used to compromise additional hosts (e.g. gaining access to the password file and discovering accounts and passwords that can be used against the other hosts). Whether or not the consultant manages to successfully exploit the vulnerability, both the consultant and client should carefully evaluate the value of the time necessary to exploit a particular vulnerability versus enumerating additional attack vectors.\nAn additional word of advice for pentest clients – carefully evaluate the skills of the pentesters to understand and evaluate the exploit code they intend to use. For many consultants their primary hunting grounds for exploit material are popular hacking web sites or forums. It is not uncommon for these sources of material to contain hidden elements such as backdoors and Trojans. Too often pentest consultants lack the development experience and familiarity of assembler languages to identify safe “shell code” from malware.\nAdvice for organisations requiring exploitation of vulnerabilities during penetration testing:", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Online sharing has exploded on some social networking sites, according to data released by AddThis, the social sharing service used on 11 million domains.\nAs Jeff Sonderman succinctly summarizes at Poynter, the data shows that Facebook is dominant with 52 percent of social shares made through the site, but sharing on Twitter and Tumblr has seen an explosive growth.\n“AddThis also found that 2011 was a big year for sharing on mobile devices, with six times more sharing on iPhones, iPads and Android devices this year. The iPad also surpassed the iPhone in sharing volume in June,” Sonderman writes.\nWhat can we expect next year?

Weather is more unpredictable than ever, and a weather app can tip you off to what conditions will be like when you leave your home, whether that’s now or later. Many apps even take advantage of notifications to let you know if there’s a big storm coming that you need to prepare for.\nYou can go with the pre-installed weather app that comes on your phone, but it’s worth heading to your app store of choice to see if there’s a third-party option that’s better suited to your needs. You can find apps that offer more extensive data, longer forecasts or even radar images of weather patterns.\nBeyond a doubt, mobile applications are really popular these days, some of them, indispensable. Aside from a good idea or a really easy to use interface, an attractive app design is also very important. When it comes to weather apps in particular, that design has to both be visually well-presented, and accurate.\nThe app provide 3D similar design.

You’ll probably attempt it once with the wrong tools, and while the scars are healing you’ll vow never to do it again.\nI recently bought a cheap crimp kit to build the MidTBot ESP32 plotter. My first attempts were, one might say, crap. But I wanted to clean up some of the cables from my desk, and one of them was a horrible taped-together set of jumper wires to use with a ST-LINK V2 compatible In-Circuit Programmer. Surely I could do better than my first try?\nI did — thanks to this Instructable: Make a Good Dupont Pin-Crimp EVERY TIME!. Yes, it’s very long. Yes, it’s all about the only way to do it. Curiously, though, it’s actually right: I got all 8 connectors made while only wasting one.\nThe absolutely golden detail that improved my success was making the connector jig out of a little bit of pin header. This made the process mostly repeatable and quite a bit faster. And the guide has some really helpful failure matrices:\nI wouldn’t go out of my way to make Dupont connectors now — they’re still fiddly and slow — but now I have the tools, parts and skills to make less of a mess of them.\nI like Arduino Nanos. They’re cheap. They work. They’re small. But they’re a bit fiddly, what with their breadboard legs and tiny pin labels. Wouldn’t it be nicer to use them as self-contained units, with Dupont wires coming from the pins?\nSo Dr. Blake “PROTODOME” Troise (previously) made a chiptune album that’s entirely synthesized by an Atmel/Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller in realtime. And every chip needs a PCB, right? So Blake released the album as a physical device you can solder up for yourself.\nOf course, having the PCB lying flat doesn’t allow you to see Marianne Thompson’s great pixel cover art, or read the liner notes on the back — and risks having the circuit short out on random tinny things on your desk. (Maybe that’s just my desk, though.)\nThis stand allows you to display the board at a convenient 75° angle, but also allows the PCB to be flipped forward so you can read the liner notes comfortably. Yeah, I may have been a crate-digger at one time.\nFor something to do with my head, I’m taking the RAC Advanced Ham Radio course. The exam uses a non-programmable scientific calculator. I thought that all my calculators were programmable, but we found this one lurking in the basement and it’s just perfect:\nThis is one of the few calculators I’ve seen that both displays and takes inputs in SI units. How to put it into SI engineering display mode is explained in this delightful (archived) site Casio fx-115MS.\nEntering numbers with SI prefixes is simple: type the number, then Shift and hit the prefix. So to enter 300000, you’d type 300 Shift 4 to get 300 k.\nYou do have to be a little careful reading the display in this mode, though. The display above reads 221 × 10-3 (from the m at right), or 0.221.\nI don’t see any calculator in Casio’s current range that offers this handy feature. Guess I’m lucky I found it before the exam!\nAudio can be a bit dismal on a Raspberry Pi. Once you get a configuration that works, sometimes you’re not sure how you got there and you’ll do anything to keep that arcane setup going. It’s better than it was.\nSpeech synthesis or TTS adds an extra layer for potential failure. One of the popular Linux TTS systems, eSpeak, hasn’t seen much development in almost a decade and seems to only work through workarounds and hand-waving.\nThankfully, there’s a fork of eSpeak that is maintained: espeak-ng. Better yet, it’s packaged with Raspberry Pi OS and can be installed quite easily:\nIn my simple tests, it output everything I expected of it.\neSpeak had a Python module that kinda worked, but espeak-ng’s is much more ambitious, and (mostly) does what it sets out to do. You can install it like this:\nsudo pip3 install py-espeak-ng\npy-espeak-ng has some documentation, but it’s still got some trial and error in getting it to work. The biggest issue that held me up was that the module needs to be initialized with a voice that espeak-ng already knows about. If you don’t specify a voice, or specify one that the system doesn’t know about, you won’t get any errors — but you won’t get any output, either.\nHere’s a small Python example that you’ll probably want to try with no-one else within earshot. It repeats the same English phrase (a favourite of elocution teachers) in every English regional language that espeak-ng knows about. In addition, since I’m a dictionary nerd, it outputs phonetics too.\n# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-\n# an espeakng elocution lesson from scruss, 2020-07\n# I suffered this at school, now you get to as well!\n# You will need to:\n# sudo apt install espeak-ng espeak-ng-data libespeak-ng-dev\n# sudo pip3 install py-espeak-ng\nfrom espeakng import ESpeakNG\nfrom time import sleep\n# you have to initialize with a voice that exists\n# `espeak-ng --voices=en` will list English ones\nesng = ESpeakNG(voice='en-gb')\nesng.pitch = 32\nesng.speed = 150\nphrase = \"Father's car is a Jaguar and pa drives rather fast. \"\\\n\"Castles, farms and draughty barns, all go charging past.\"\nfor voice in esng.voices:\nprint('Using voice:', voice['language'],\n'for', voice['voice_name'], '-')\nesng.voice = voice['language']\nipa = esng.g2p(phrase, ipa=2)\nprint(voice['language'], 'phonetics:', ipa)\nBe thankful you can’t hear the output.

A lot, mainly because I was doing it in BASIC on an unexpanded 8 MHz Commodore Amiga A500.

Since the paper was presented in 1978, there’s a fair chance that the authors had access to a machine running FORTRAN-77 or a near equivalent. FORTRAN’s particularly good for this:\nit has a built-in COMPLEX type that extends regular mathematical functions;\nit has just good enough string handling to output a line of spaces/asterisks. I would not have wanted to write this in FORTRAN-66, as that language had no string manipulation facilities atall.\nSo here’s the code. It should compile on any Fortran compiler:\n!

Android 13 came out in August 2022, and only shortly after, the Google Pixel 7 Pro and the smaller Google Pixel 7 were the first phones to launch with the new OS.\nIn contrast to Android 12, the new release offered only a few tangible improvements and focused more on fixing up little bits and pieces here and there. That's understandable, as Android 12 was one of the biggest updates in years, complete with a new theming engine that adjusts to your wallpaper. Like Android 12L, Google's tablet and foldable-focused mid-term update, Android 13 is less exciting. However, it still comes with some select quality-of-life improvements for Android phones eligible for the OS update.\nDon't get me wrong, though. After the big, busy, and controversial release that was Android 12, it's good that we get some breathing room and a period of settling in. Android 13 doesn't fundamentally change how Android looks and feels, but instead goes back to a more iterative approach in trying to refine what Google unleashed in Android 12, with thoughtful and great underrated features.\nBefore I dive into the review, remember that this is a look at what Android is like on the latest Pixel phone, including the Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 7. While underlying features like new permissions, privacy changes, and API tweaks also made their way to other phones, a lot of the things talked about here are only truly visible on Google Pixel phones. This updated review will also cover what's new in Android 13's Pixel Feature Drops, three bigger updates that have reached the Pixel phones since release.\nAndroid 13 is Google's latest and greatest smartphone operating system, bound to power billions of phones in the future. In contrast to its predecessor, it's one of the smaller upgrades, but it still packs a few great features you don't want to miss out on.\n- Release date\n- Key features\n- Per-app languages\n- Doesn't fundamentally change the way how your phone works and looks\n- Much-needed advanced Material You enhancements\n- Per-app language settings are a game changer for multilinguals\n- One of the smallest Android updates in a while\n- Split-screen regressions for phones\n- Per-app language settings are only available for a handful of apps at launch\nAndroid 13: Design and interface\nMaterial You evolution\nAndroid 12 introduced Material You, Google's latest iteration of its Material design language. The Material You update completely upends how app design usually works. Instead of designers carefully crafting which color palette to use for their apps, Material You pulls a dynamically generated set of colors from your wallpaper, creating possibly the most flexible and personal interface in any app that supports it.\nAndroid 13 doesn't outright fix any of the underlying issues with the new design language, but it builds on top of what Android 12 introduced and refines certain aspects. Most notably, Android 13 offers many more extracted colors to pick from, giving you up to 16 different color themes from one wallpaper. This gives you a lot more flexibility in changing your interface colors without switching wallpapers, and it is a much-needed push in the right direction. All this is accessible from the Wallpapers & Style settings on the home screen.\nLike Android 12, Android 13 also lets you turn on themed icons for your home screen, which builds on top of what the first release brought. However, Android 13 is the first Android version to bring themed icon support to third-party apps, so you're finally no longer limited to themed Google apps. In theory, this is supposed to dunk all the apps on your home screen into the same wallpaper-based background and foreground colors, leaving you with a uniform-looking design.\nI initially feared that third-party developers would be reluctant to implement support as they might want to retain their brand colors, but I'm positively surprised how many prominent developers have already jumped on board. WhatsApp, Twitch, Spotify, Reddit, Microsoft Edge, LinkedIn, Bitwarden, 1Password, PS Remote Play, Pocket, VLC, Pinterest, Signal, and Telegram all already support the new system. There are so many apps that we had to create a separate overview of which apps support themed icons on Android 13. At this pace, a full Material You look without compromising on which apps to add to your home screen doesn't seem out of reach anymore.\nSince themed icons will remain opt-in for a long time, we might still have to wait until this theming option becomes truly ubiquitous. Google hasn't exactly led by example, either. Some Google apps only offer themed icons on the Pixel Launcher, while other Android 13 handsets are left in the cold. That's the case for Home and Podcasts, for example. And on its own phones, its new Wallet app initially came without a themed icon and only received one later. Apps like Authenticator, Rewards, and YouTube Studio still haven't received a themed icon, not to mention Stadia.\nI'm also sad that Google hasn't brought back custom app icon shapes and fonts. This was one of the staple customization options in Android 11, and if it's done correctly, it wouldn't even clash with Material You. Other phone manufacturers and third-party launchers still allow you to customize these things, but Google seems to have decided not to offer this capability anymore.\nSystem UI changes\nApart from all the Material You color magic, Google made a few more tweaks to the system interface. The new, bolder navigation bar will probably be the most obvious one when you update from Android 12. Unfortunately, it doesn't really serve any purpose apart from aesthetics, and it takes up ever so slightly more vertical space than the smaller navigation bar first introduced in Android 10. It now resembles iOS' navigation bar more closely, though it's still not as long and thick as the alternative on the iPhone.\nThe new bar makes it even more of a shame that Google still doesn't enforce transparent backgrounds for the navigation bar as much as Apple does, as the additional space used up by the new bar wouldn't matter as much in that case. As it stands right now, you will lose a few precious pixels in almost all apps you're using thanks to this change, including some widely used Google services like Chrome and Gmail that don't support transparent navigation bar areas.\nA more substantial tweak comes to the media player living in the notification shade and on the lock screen. Apart from some minor reshuffled button placement, you'll notice that the seek bar is now squiggly for the audio you've already listened to. While it's visually not the most pleasing thing to me, it serves a purpose. It only squiggles when you're actively listening, which allows you to see at a glance if audio is running. That's particularly handy when you just want to check if you forgot to turn your music off at low volumes or when you're about to put your headphones away. The media player saw a miniscule change in Android 13's December Feature Drop, and now features a horizontal bar instead of a dot for scrubbing.\nFinally, two small changes were made to the lock screen. You can finally control your smart home devices from the lock screen without having to unlock your phone. And if you missed it after the Android 12L update where it was first introduced, it's now possible to turn off the dual-line clock when you don't have any notifications. Both of these are optional and need to be activated in system settings in the lock screen options under Display.\nGoogle is also laying a foundation for a tweak to back gestures, though this will only go live with the subsequent release, Android 14. When the next backward navigation brings you to the home screen, you will get an animation similar to what you see when you swipe up from the bottom to go home, with the app window increasingly getting smaller and closer to the corresponding icon on the home screen. This is supposed to better indicate when you're about to leave an app. To enable this behavior, you need to activate your Pixel's developer options and toggle on predictive back animations. The only apps I spotted working with so far are Google News and the system settings.\nThe Pixel Launcher's new search experience\nThe Pixel Launcher doesn't enjoy many visual changes compared to Android 12. It revamps how search works yet again, though. On Android 12, tapping the search bar on the home screen would bring you right to the Google app for search, while the search bar in the app drawer was focused on local results like apps, contacts, settings, and in-app content. Android 13 unifies the look and feel of both search experiences again, but they still remain slightly different.\nSpot the subtle but big difference: two pairs comparing home screen search on the left and app drawer search on the right\nWhen the new experience does show up on your phone, tapping the search bar on the home screen brings up a Material You-themed interface that shows you a row of suggested apps at the top and a list of recent Google search terms below it. When you start to type, the interface is populated with app and web search results. Only hitting a suggestion/result or the search button on the keyboard will hand you off to the Google app. This makes for a smoother transition between the home screen and the search interface, and I like what Google has done here. It feels much more refined than just using the search bar as a widget that opens the Google app upon tapping it. Using this search experience on the initial version of Android 13, you can only find web results and apps, though — no other on-device search is possible here.\nThe search that opens when you swipe up on the home screen and open the app drawer is slightly different. When entering it, you will still see the familiar collection of all the apps you've installed on your phone, but once you start typing, the interface looks more like the one you get via the search bar on the home screen, with app suggestions at the top and a list of Google search suggestions below it. However, you can scroll further down here for more, revealing a \"From this device\" section. Here, you can see results like in-app shortcuts, settings shortcuts and toggles, and options to search for terms within apps (Search on YouTube, Search on Google Maps, etc.).\nFollowing the initial publication of this review, Google tweaked this behavior and made the two search bars behave almost the same way. You can now find contacts, apps, and shortcuts when searching with the search bar on the home screen, too, though they're pushed much further below than in the app drawer search. It's a good compromise and makes it easier to find what you need, regardless of which search option you use.\nThere are still some regressions compared with Android 12 and iOS, though. For example, when you want to use the keyboard to search for and then open an app, you can no longer simply hit enter/search to open the first app listed. Instead, you have to tap its icon at the top. Otherwise, you will end up doing a Google search for whatever phrase you entered. If you routinely do this, prepare for loads of searches like \"mes\" or \"gma\" in your search history when you just wanted to open Messages or Gmail. I would have preferred for Google to retain this \"enter equals open app\" behavior in the app drawer, as it adds more friction and makes you stretch your thumb all the way to the top of the screen again just to open an app. Thankfully, it looks like the company is exploring bringing back this behavior with Android 13's March 2023 Feature Drop.\nI was initially displeased with how Google handled the separation between the two search bars, but the situation has gotten a lot better following the initial release.\nAndroid 13: Improved privacy features\nPrivacy is a difficult concept on Android. After all, Google is an advertising company that lives off the data people share with it. But the company is still trying to make the process more transparent and make it harder for bad actors and malware to access data that isn't needed. Google will likely never go as far as Apple went with the \"Ask app not to track\" prompt that cost Facebook billions of dollars in ad revenue, but small improvements are sprinkled here and there in Android 13.\nFor one, Android 13 adds a new media files permission that makes access to your files even more granular for apps. The approach means that apps have to ask for access to audio, video, and image files separately, making it possible to preserve your privacy further. Of course, apps will have to support this new method, but Google will probably make sure that it doesn't take too long until it's mandatory.\nSpeaking of changes in media handling, Android 13 has also received an iOS-esque photo picker interface. Apps that don't need access to all of your files can use this to make it easy to select an image or video that you want to share in, say, a chat or pass on to a photo editor. The trusty document picker of old does the job just fine, too, though. This is just a prettier, dedicated interface for media files that chat apps and similar services will hopefully pick up. Here, it will probably also take a while until most apps switch over (if they even will) without incentives or policy changes from Google.\nAndroid 13: Light on new features\nI think we've established the theme — Android 13 isn't the most feature-heavy release. Nevertheless, there are some exciting Android 13 features you'll want to check out, like improvements to permissions, a game-changing enhancement for multilinguals, and some split-screen and big-screen shenanigans.\nEvery year, Google changes at least a little bit on the notifications front. This year is no exception, but the company is — thankfully — doing a lot less than usual. In Android 13, apps can no longer send you notifications right after you've launched them for the first time. Instead, a dialog will pop up, asking if you want to allow them to interrupt your attention whenever they choose to.\nThis change feels overdue, as the previous solution to a less disruptive phone was a bit more cumbersome. You would have to wait for an app to send you a notification and then disable it by long-pressing said notification. Alternatively, you'd have to actively seek out the app's permissions overview in system settings right after installing it, which is something you might not ever want to do. The new dialog does add an extra step to most apps' setup processes, though, so there is that downside.\nInterestingly enough, Apple has offered just this for a while already and makes matters a little more granular thanks to its scheduled notification summary that you can set up in settings. That way, apps that you don't deem only get to disrupt your life can only send you notifications twice a day. I would really love to see Google copy this.\nPer-app language options\nIn another act of catching up with iOS, Android 13 has finally introduced support for changing your preferred language on a per-app basis. For multilingual people like me, this is a game changer. I finally don't have to endure apps poorly translated into English anymore when I can use them in German just fine. There are a few services like banks and transit apps that I prefer to use in my mother tongue, and that's now possible.\nGoogle made changing the preferred language for your app dead simple. You can tap and hold an app icon on your home screen and hit the little i button in the pop-up menu to get to an app's specific language options. There is also a new section in system settings that allows you to see a list of apps that support multiple languages, which you can alternatively use to tweak everything on your phone to your liking.\nIn earlier test versions of Android 13, the per-app language options could be applied to any and all apps, but that changed in more recent betas closer to the launch. Now, only apps that have specifically declared support for multiple languages get the option to switch to a tongue different from the system, and that's a shame. While changing the language brought up a few minor issues when it was possible to change it for all apps in Beta 2, the selection that's left right now is much smaller. In fact, right now I've got only 18 apps left with that capability, most of which are Google apps.\nI can only hope that developers will add this relatively minor tweak to their apps, allowing for language changes to their apps sooner rather than later, but we all know how slow Android app development can be. Google should have just enabled the option on apps with no way to opt out, forcing a handful of app developers to fix potential issues rather than waiting on the majority of apps that would work just fine to add a small XML file to declare support.\nSplit-screen regressions and big-screen improvements\nAndroid 12L and then 13 introduced some much-needed tweaks for big-screen devices like tablets and foldables, but in the process, Google made it more cumbersome to use split-screen layouts on regular phones. On Android 13, you still need to enter the Recents screen and then tap and hold the app icon on top of the preview to start split-screen mode. However, Android 13 then only lets you pick other apps from the Recents screen to start split-screen mode with. The interface no longer lets you access all apps on your phone by going back to your home screen.\nThis means that you first have to get the pair of apps you want to use in split-screen mode ready in your Recents overview, which makes the process of using two apps at once even more difficult and harder to access than it's ever been. It's almost like Google doesn't even want you to use split-screen mode on Pixel phones and is actively discouraging you from even trying.\nOther manufacturers have more elegant solutions for this. Samsung is one of the positive examples here with an advanced custom solution, but there are also manufacturers that stick closer to the Google look and feel that do a better job. Oppo, for example, lets you quickly enter split-screen mode with a three-finger swipe from the top of the screen. I wish Google would introduce a simple path like this.\nOn tablets and other big-screen devices, matters are more straightforward. You can simply drag an app from the taskbar onto either the left or the right side of the app you've currently opened and then enter split-screen mode like this right away.\nSpeaking of big-screen devices, Android 12L has already brought the bulk of improvements to them. Android 13 just picks up on a few things left over, like a new shortcut to enter the app drawer right from the task bar that pops up on tablets.\nFor those who still use microSD cards or routinely access USB-C sticks with their phones, Android 13 finally adds support for exFAT. The file format has been around for a long time and is an improvement over the ancient FAT32 format, which is limited to a size of 4GB per file. This makes for a much better experience in this day and age where 4K video exists.\nAndroid 13 also introduces a quick settings toggle QR code reader. To pull it up, you need to enter the notification shade, pull it down to access your quick settings toggles, and look for the new \"Scan QR code\" option. It feels slightly faster than going through Google Lens, so it has its merits. Plus, it's particularly helpful in a world changed by Covid-19, where QR codes are much more common than they once were.\nGoogle also introduced a visual clipboard editor that lets you quickly tweak the text you've got in your clipboard right after hitting copy. It's a handy change when you've accidentally selected too much or too little, and it stays out of the way when you don't need it.\nA few more neat changes, in no particular order: Quick tap now supports quickly launching the flashlight, you can stop any apps currently running in the background right from a new entry in the notification shade, and you can long-press the home button or swipe from the bottom corners to invoke the Assistant again. It's now also possible to limit your network bandwidth across the entire system.\nUPDATE: 2023/06/26 15:31 EST BY MANUEL VONAU\nPixel Feature Drops are here to make Android 13 even better\nAndroid 13 might feel like it's getting long in the tooth, but Google keeps making the Android release better every three months with a new Pixel Feature Drop. As the name implies, this is something that mostly only Pixel phones benefit from. The last release to come to Andorid 13 is the June Feature Drop.\nAndroid 13: Pixel Feature Drops make it even better\nAndroid 13 may have been Google's highlight release of 2022, but the company keeps improving with subsequent monthly security patches and quarterly so-called Pixel Feature Drops. The company even offers a beta program for these bigger quarterly releases under the Quarterly Platform Release program (QPR). Let's take a look at what's new in the two Pixel Feature Drops released in March 2023 and December 2022.\nAndroid 13 June 2023 Feature Drop\nThe June Feature Drop is the last big update to Android 13 before Android 14 goes live in stable. The release adds some hotly anticipated features that Google teased at Google I/O, and they're arguably the most fun in a while.\nOn the customization front, there is a new Emoji Wallpaper section in the Wallpaper & style settings, accessible by long-pressing the home screen. It lets you choose from your favorite emoji and make them your phone's background, complete with a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes. You can even pick random creations if you need some inspiration.\nAnother wallpaper tweak announced at I/O is Cinematic Wallpapers. These use the same technology that power cinematic photos in your Google Photos library and apply it to backgrounds. When your phone detects that a wallpaper you choose is compatible with cinematic wallpapers, it will offer a button that lets you turn it cinematic, complete with neat 3D effects you can see when you move your phone and when you transition from lock screen to home screen.\nSmart home controls are also in for a much-needed revamp, which you will particularly notice if you use Google Home as your default app. The new control panel, accessible via the lock screen shortcut or the quick settings toggle, looks a lot more like the regular Google Home app. A scrollable row at the top gives you quick access to all device types you have, while you can curate a list of favorites beneath. In contrast to other features, this rolled out in stages and hasn't reached everyone at the same time, even when they updated their Pixels. This new control panel is made possible by a less rigid structure for the smart home control panel, allowing other third-party apps to create custom layouts, too.\nAnother highlight-worthy feature is the safer PIN entry screen, which I can only urge everyone to turn on under Security & privacy → Device Unlock → Enhanced PIN privacy. This will disable button animations when you enter your PIN code and won't reveal the numbers you type. It makes it harder for shoulder surfers to steal your phone and the data on it when you need to put in your PIN in public. I wish this feature was the standard option right out of the box, but it's a good addition in any case.\nSmaller updates have been made to haptics, with the Pixel 7a and Pixel 6a now supporting an optional mode that makes them less loud when they lie flat on a table. All Pixel phones are also in for adaptive charging improvements, with Google improving the algorithm responsible for determining when to top the phone fully up when you charge overnight. This should help keep batteries healthy for just a little longer. Then there is improved emergency sharing, allowing you to automatically send a message to a trusted person when you don't check in after a walk home late at night, and better road safety via car crash detection. Google Recorder is also seeing improvements, with an export option that turns your transcript into a video, along with the capability to search for speaker labels and better exports to Google Docs.\nIn another exclusive for newer Pixel phones starting with the Pixel 6, Google is adding a hands-free selfie option. When you turn on the three or 10-minute timer, it's possible to raise your hand with your palm visible to start the countdown. This gives you more time to position yourself in the frame as you'd like to. Of course, you can also still use the \"Hey Google, take a selfie\" voice command to start a three-second countdown without even having to open the camera app first.\nAndroid 13 March 2023 Feature Drop\nGoogle's March Feature Drop is particularly exciting for Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners. The company announced that these two phones are getting key improvements to Night Sight with a Google Camera update, giving users access to faster and more detailed night photography algorithms. This means that you can pick between multiple options for your night shots. You can either go for a lower-brightness option that will give you a result faster, or you can make your phone take in even more light before it saves the image. It's a truly great move that makes older hardware last longer.\nAnother tenable improvement for everyone using older Pixel phones is free Magic Eraser support. If you're unfamiliar with it, the feature lets you remove random objects and subjects from your photos without the usual tedious handwork in Photoshop or Lightroom. Google previously suggested that Magic Eraser was only possible thanks to its latest phones' processors, but now the feature is available on pretty much any Android phone and even on the iPhone for Google One subscribers. So Google either managed to make the feature less taxing on hardware, or it was just a ploy to sell new phones. Either way, it's good to see Pixel features trickling down to other phones.\nThe Feature Drop also preps a feature that fitness nerds might be particularly excited about — Health Connect is a pre-installed app on Pixel phones. The service makes it possible to sync and connect different fitness apps, allowing you to aggregate separate data from various services in one central place.\nFurthermore, it looks like Google plans to make Health Connect a pre-installed app for all phones launching with Android 14, making it even more powerful. Once app developers can rely on having access to Health Connect on all Android phones, we might see many more apps introduce support for it. It seems like developers are already very much interested, as they can rest assured that they need to support only one central API rather than a dedicated solution for every service they want to sync with.\nAndroid 13 December 2022 Feature Drop\nOne of the best features Google finally brought back with the December 2022 Feature Drop is battery usage stats based on the last time you fully charged your phone. In the past, the company switched to a 24-hour view. This switch back to the battery-based statistic makes it much easier for you to see which app is the culprit in case you run out of battery particularly quickly someday, and frankly, it makes the lives of phone reviewers easier, too. Pixel phones also get access to some new wallpapers.\nThe Feature Drop includes a few minor visual changes that round out the experience. For example, when you use your fingerprint to authenticate yourself for an app, it is now followed by a short green checkmark to indicate that your action was successful. The update also adds some new animations for the quick toggle buttons in the notification shade. Here, some icons now show a quick animation when you tap them. Android 13's first Feature drop additionally introduces a few more exclusive Google Pixel 7 features, detailed in the section below.\nAll phones running Android 13 are eligible for Google's new Security & privacy settings hub. This new settings panel puts all relevant options in one place, allowing you to see at a glance if your phone is well protected. You can use it to tweak options like biometric authentication, use Find my Device, see if your device is fully updated with security and system updates, and start a Google account security checkup.\nAndroid 13: Exclusive Google Pixel 7 features\nThe first Google phones to launch with Android 13 are the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro. The devices are some of the best Android phones right now, and the software is part of the reason. As with every Pixel launch, Google decided to make a few features exclusive to the latest phone generation, and this isn't any different for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Here is a rundown of what special software options the two phones give you:\n- Automatic voice message transcriptions: In the Google Messages app, voice messages can be transcribed automatically.\n- Voice commands and voice typing: Voice input processing is faster on the Pixel 7, and you can dictate emoji. You can also silence your phone when it rings by saying \"Silence,\" even without prefacing the command with \"Hey Google\" or \"Okay Google.\"\n- Bedtime mode improvements: The Pixel 7 can automatically turn on bedtime mode when you plug it in during a specific customizable timeframe at night, say from 10 pm to 7 am. When it's plugged in while you sleep, you can also use it for cough and snore detection.\n- Photo unblur: In the Google Photos app on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, you can use a new tool to unblur slightly out-of-focus images. It works very well.\n- Direct My Call improvements: Some toll-free numbers in the US now offer a visual menu you can navigate through to get connected to the right support agent without having to sit through the announcements spoken by the machine on the other side.\n- Clear calling: The Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro offer an optional toggle in the Phone app settings that help you to understand your call partner better in loud environments. This was first introduced with the Android 13 December Feature Drop.\n- Google VPN: Also as part of the Android 13 December Feature Drop, Google added a free VPN for all Pixel 7 users. It allows you to stay more private on public Wi-Fi networks, but it doesn't offer much functionality beyond that. It's the same service you can also get on any Android phone via Google One.\nFor a deep dive into all of these with more context and explanations, check out what's new in software on the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.\nWhen we called Android 12 your phone's biggest update in years, it was clear that there was no way that Google could keep up with this pace with the next full version release. But that isn't even necessary, and it wouldn't be a good thing. Android 13 is mostly concerned with establishing Android 12's big changes as the new standard, and thus it's an Android release with the least visual changes we've had in a while. Instead, Android 13 focuses on introducing smaller quality-of-life enhancements and quick refinements, which is really all Android needs at this stage — and the three feature drops it received just add even more to this.\nWith all Android 13 Feature Drop released and Android 14 looming on the horizon, it's clear that Google will focus on more refinements in the future. We can only hope that this trend of gentle changes that don't fundamentally change the look and feel of Android phones will continue as the platform becomes more mature. So far, Android 14 sure feels like just that.\nAndroid 13 first rolled out to Google Pixel phones, going all the way back to the Pixel 4. The Pixel 3 and 3a are now deprecated, meaning that these will be stuck on Android 12 forever. Other phone manufacturers take a bit longer to update, so your phone may or may not have it already. If history is any indication, the first phones to get Android 13 will likely be all the great high-end phones from Samsung.\nThe theme we have here — Android 13 introducing only minor, helpful changes — has already been spotted by New York Times business correspondent Daisuke Wakabayashi when he covered Google I/O 2022. It seems like Google's days as a company with big shots for the future are over. The company is now running like a strictly profit-oriented business that focuses on iteration. So it's only fitting that the company slashed its moonshot and future-focused Area 120 team. The one change to this strategy we see here is Google's nearly desperate push into AI in 2023, though this feels more like a knee-jerk reaction to the broader industry than a vital plan.\nAndroid 13's exclusive Pixel 7 features are also symptomatic of another shift in Google's strategy. The company has identified first-party hardware as its best bet for the future, with ad revenue and efficiency on the decline and a lucrative search deal with Apple potentially under scrutiny by regulators. With hardware that it controls itself, coupled with its software expertise, the company hopes that it will be able to cement its position in the mobile market and beyond. The re-entry of the tablet market with the Google Pixel Tablet and the brand-new folding Pixel Fold just further prove this.\nAndroid 13 is the perfect example of this new, cautious approach that takes the broader Google devices ecosystem into account.\nWhat's to like?\n- Thoughtful refinements to Material You make Android 13 an excellent foundation for years to come.\n- New permission dialogs and more granular file access for apps make Android 13 even more secure than its predecessors.\n- Per-app language options finally put Android up to par with iOS' long-existing multilingual feature.\nWhat's not to like?\n- Compared to the huge upgrade that Android 12 was, Android 13 can feel a little light when it comes to visual changes.\n- Android 13 could be a little more customizable beyond Material You. In the past, you could change icon shapes on the home screen and fonts throughout the system.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "First of all let me say that there is NO support for these products. Posting in a forum and hoping someone else can help you is not support. I pay monthly for this product. You posted updates to lightroom and photoshop. I installed those updates. After I installed the updates when I click on edit in photoshop 2019 from within lightroom, photoshop launches and the pictures shows up in photoshop but it is not editable. All menu items are greyed out. I have checked to see if the photo is locked - its not. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both applications - same problem. I have cleared every possible preference I can find. If I close the photograph and leave photoshop open and return to lightroom and click on edit in photoshop 2019 the photo opens in photoshop (which is already open). So basically it looks like when lightroom launches photoshop with a photo it doesn't work - but if lightroom is already open it does work. So hoping someone in the forum can answer why this is happening - since Adobe just wants to cash my check every month and provide updates it does NOT support. You have to love a product that charges you monthly and when you need help with their product they send you to a forum.\nCopy link to clipboard\nThere is a known issue between the current version of Lightroom and Photoshop. The workaround is, starting with both applications closed, open Photoshop and leave it open. Then open Lightroom. Edit in Photoshop should now work OK.\nYou can contact support via the support link at the top of the forum but users of this forum can usually help with working issues.\nThat is what I have been doing - when I remember. I searched and did not find any info that it was a current problem or I would not have posted. But it still sucks that they do not support any of their products when I am paying for it every month. I did click on the support link and it basically says the only support authorized is via the forums. Thanks for the info.\nIf you follow the Support Home link and choose Photoshop then go to the bottom of the page there is a \"Contact us\" link.\nwhen I click on that link it wants me to select a product and an area and after I do that all options except the forum disappear\nFirst of all let me say that there is NO support for these products. Posting in a forum and hoping someone else can help you is not support....You have to love a product that charges you monthly and when you need help with their product they send you to a forum.\nYes, Adobe does send you to a user-to-user forum that is manned mostly by volunteers. When you see an ACP (or MVP) badge like the one Dave has, who answered you, it means that he has been tagged by Adobe because of his advanced knowledge. We do not work for Adobe, but are users who know what we know because we are hands on in the applications extensively and because we love helping people!\nWe are all hoping as you are that this issue gets fixed soon; in the meantime, we are happy that the workaround is an easy one.\nOh my. Just had this problem today, 2,5 years later of the original post, and the same workaround worked:\nEdit in Photoshop works again.\nLightroom Classic 10.3, Photoshop 22.4.2 and macOS Big Sur 11.4 on an M1 MacBook Air.\nEDIT: Must add — this workaround is not easy to learn as always I'm having Lightroom Classic open and only occasionally open Photoshop to edit in. I try to avoid round-tripping to Photoshop and keep all photography related to original raw files and in Lightroom Catalog, I don't like having a punch of extra PSD files in my Lightroom Catalog, I like to keep a single raw file for each of the photos (obviosly not possible when needing to edit in Photoshop).\nEDIT 2: This workaround only works one photo for me. On the second photo Edit in Photoshop doesn't work anymore. Closing both apps and reopening them first Photoshop then Lightroom Classic works.

But what exactly are Google Ads? In this article, we will discuss the good, the bad, and the truth about Google Ads and if it really works for small businesses.\nImagine this: you finally decided to put up your own small business. It took lots of time, money, and other resources perfecting your product (or service), fine-tuning the logistics, and even setting up a website. Now you need to tell other people about your new business. What’s next?\nYou go on social media so your family, friends, and colleagues can like and share it. But that’s not enough, there are literally millions of potential customers online right now who are looking for a business just like yours. You may have the best to offer, but it’s a big problem if nobody outside your circle knows you exist. The goal is to make them aware of your website… and that’s where Google Ads comes into the picture.\nWhat exactly is a Google Ad?\nGoogle Ads is an online advertising platform developed by Google. This service lets businesses bid to place brief advertisements, service offerings, product listings, or videos to web users.\nGoogle Ads services operate under a pay-per-click (PPC) pricing model. You will only be charged when people click on your ad. This type of ad pops at the right top of any Google search result page and can be an effective way to boost traffic to your website while you’re still learning the ropes.\nYou can target people already looking for you\nUsing PPC ads and the right keywords, you can target potential customers at the exact moment that they are searching for your product or business.\nLet’s say I’m looking to purchase cat food. I type “buy cat food online” in the Google search box. This will pull up a results page with various relevant Google Ad links to pet shops and stores that offer cat food. Customers are more inclined to click on the top links and start shopping.\nYou can target people based on location\nSetting a local Google Ad campaign is a great way to reach customers in your town or city. Stats show that those who perform local searches are 72% more likely to visit a store near their location. Limiting your targeted keywords at a specific geographic range lets you avoid competing against bigger names with a national reach.\nYou can target niche markets\nYou can also target niche markets and lower the cost of your ad by choosing specific keywords that can reach the right people.\nFor example, you are from North Shore and your business is dog accessories. Bidding for a general term like “dog accessories” can be expensive because you would be competing with other businesses that offer all sorts of products aimed at dog owners across various geographies. But if you choose a more specific term like “dog accessories in North Shore” you will have a higher conversion rate and a much lower cost for your ad campaign.\nYou can control your advertising budget\nWe’ve already established that you will only be charged when somebody clicks on your ads. But aside from that, you are also allowed to set campaign parameters to control spending. You can set an average daily budget for the course of your campaign and Google will not exceed that amount.\nYou get fast results\nIf you are obsessed with numbers, you will be glad of how quickly Google Ads displays your data. Google Analytics shows you how your campaign is performing as well as the adjustments you should try doing. You can track everything from average cost per click, advert position, and even check the visitor behaviour on your online shop.\nFirst, Google Ads has a learning curve. If you are new to this sort of stuff, it can be complicated and confusing. You need to brush up on your basic digital marketing rules and principles while also trying to kickstart a profitable small business venture.\nSecond, the platform doesn’t offer free trials and there is a possibility of you spending more than you should if you don’t configure your campaigns correctly. There will be lots of tweaking and trying out different strategies before you see the desired results.\nAnd of course, there is also the tedious task of making sure all your branding, messaging, and landing pages are working perfectly even before you start spending money on Google Ads.\nThere are also those critics who claim that Google’s algorithms and attempts at automated bidding structures are making advertisers less in control. Some also say that Google Ads are becoming too expensive for smaller businesses.\nIn conclusion, Google Ads is a powerful tool that can help small businesses reach millions of potential customers when used correctly. And while there are also cons, there are many ways to steer past them.\nIf you are worried about the learning curve, there are literally thousands of free courses and resources on the Internet that you can check out. If you are good at networking, maybe you can ask friends, mentors, and colleagues who are more experienced in the platform to give you a hand.\nIf all else fails, you can always hire expert digital marketers and third-party Google-certified partners to handle your ads and campaigns. Naturally, you would have to spend more, but at least, you can rest easy that they can make Google Ads services work for your small business.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Related, can someone give me a simple command line to flash the nRF52832 via Jlink edu, with the contents of the new 2.01+ versions of Espruino for the MDBT42Q?

Whether it succeeds or fails in fulfilling its promise, many people in the visual effects community are racing to cater to the demands of 360-video virtual reality production.\nFor me personally, virtual reality is much more than a business opportunity. It excites the explorer in me by providing new uncharted territories and many unsolved challenges. So when Outpost|VFX was approached by YouTube to do VFX for several stereo-360 videos, I was immediately intrigued and eager to rise to the challenge.\nShort turn-around time and a tight budget made it even more challenging, but didn't deter me from signing up for the task. Though we ultimately succeeded and delivered all the visual effects to the client's satisfaction, the road was full of obstacles that we didn't anticipate. Over time these obstacles will inevitably be removed, but for now I hope this post will help newcomers by sharing some of the lessons learned during the process.\nBefore we begin, a brief note on the terms “360 video” and “virtual reality”:\nAs demonstrated here, 360-videos use the viewer’s head orientation only to display whichever part of the surrounding the viewer is directed at. The “surrounding” is essentially a flat image warped into a sphere. This allows you to look in any direction while being locked into a fixed point in space.\nVirtual Reality experiences use both the viewer’s head orientation and position to place the viewer in a video-game-like virtual world. This allows more freedom of movement than 360 video, but content is currently limited to real-time CGI due to limitations of video-capture technology.\nThis post will discuss visual effects for 360-videos only. However, much like the rest of the entertainment industry, I’ll use the term “VR” as well when referring to 360-videos.\nWHY IS VR SO CHALLENGING\nIn many ways 360 video is nothing more than a wide format. A 360-degree image is essentially two 180-degree fish-eye lens images stitched together. So it’s easy to assume that the main challenge for VFX in this medium is matching lens distortions and figure out how to review and give notes on effects in 360-degrees.\nIn reality, the differences between 360-degree and traditional video are so vast that they affect every step of the process in more ways than one. Entering this new realm often requires leaving behind our most trusted tools and fail-safe devices. Our ability to rely on past experience is greatly reduced and even the simplest VFX task can suddenly turn into a nightmare. It might sound like an exaggeration. Is it really that different? -well obviously it depends on the specific needs of your project, but here are a few things to keep in mind:\nYOU’VE GOT NOWHERE TO “HIDE”\nIf you’ve been in the game long enough you know that VFX supervisors rely on a variety of “tricks” that save time and money. Many of them don’t apply to 360 videos:\nEditing is usually VFX’s best friend. As this GIF demonstrates, efficient use of cut-aways can hide certain actions that are hard to create or imagine (like a monster grabbing the kid by the head and lifting him off the ground) while adding more value to the scene. Cuts in VR can cause disorientation if they’re not carefully pre-planned, which means they can’t be relied on as an escape pod late in the game. Instead, VR 360 videos tend to incorporate long uninterrupted takes that call for long uninterrupted VFX. Keep that in mind when calculating render-times.\nFraming is another trusted support-beam for VFX artists. Traditionally the director decides how a scene will be framed, and can change framing to leave out certain challenging effects, or at least trim parts that are unnecessarily complicated. In the scene above Tarantino famously framed out the cutting of an ear, forcing the audience to imagine it instead - and demonstrated how powerful these decisions can be. By now we are so used to designing VFX for a 16:9 frame that we automatically label them as easy or complicated assuming they’ll be framed a certain way. There is no framing in VR. Well technically there is, but it’s driven by the orientation of the viewer who is free to choose whether to look away or stare directly at an effect. As result, any VFX is potentially fully exposed from birth to death - consider that when calculating simulation times for your next fluid-dynamic shot in VR.\nCamera movements are often perceived as something VFX supervisors prefer to avoid, as they raise the need for camera-tracking and other processes. In some situations, though, moving the camera (whether physically or in post-production) can help sell an effect. A good example is camera shakes following an explosion: they make the explosion feel bigger by suggesting there’s a shock-wave, and at the same time reduce the visibility of the VFX and allow certain demanding simulations be avoided.\nIn 360 video camera movements can cause motion sickness-like symptoms also known as “VR-sickness” and therefore aren’t used very often. Even when they are used, camera movements in VR can direct the viewer’s attention away from an effect, but not always take it off-screen completely.\nOptical Effects such as lens flares, depth of field, motion blur, chromatic aberration, film grain and others are commonly added on top of visual effects to make them blend better and feel photorealistic while masking areas of low detail. These optical effects are so entrenched in our VFX workflow that it’s easy to forget how “naked” or “empty” our effects feel without them.\nThe absence of a single lens, frame and variable focal-length makes 360 videos extremely crisp and sharp. Lens flares are possible but behave strangely if they aren’t dynamically changing based on the viewing angle, which requires a layer of interactivity that’s not standardized yet. Depth of field and motion blur are largely avoided because they impose optical limitations and disrupt the immersiveness. Image degradation effects like film grain and chromatic aberrations are rarely used as they create a “dirty glass” effect, which is more distracting in VR than in traditional film.\nEye Tracking is more of an optical analysis that drives aesthetic decisions than a technical tool. I’m talking about being able to anticipate what the viewers are likely to look at during a scene, and focusing more efforts in those places. This ability is greatly reduced in VR because viewers have a much wider area they can explore visually, and are more prone to missing visual cues designed to grab their attention. This means you are forced to treat every part of the effect as a potential point of focused attention.\nACTUALLY, YOU’VE GOT PLACES TO HIDE\nWhile this list may seem intimidating, many of these restrictions are easy to predict and address when breaking down the script of a VR film. By being involved in pre-production stages of the project I was supervising, I was able to identify problematic scenes and offer suggestions that simplified and reduced the workload of certain effects.\nFor instance, the script had a character carry a magical amulet that was supposed to glow with light. Making a practical glow wasn’t possible so it became a VFX task. Had this been a traditional film I’d consider this a simple task that requires brief design work, some tracking and maybe a bit of rotoscoping. I would expect the amulet to make brief appearances in one or two close-up shots, a medium-shot and potentially a couple of long-shots. I’d be able to suggest framing and blocking adjustments for each shot individually to simplify tasks and save costs.\nBut this being a 360-video, I suspected the scene might be filmed in a continuous take, capturing the entire spherical environment - meaning the action wouldn’t be broken down into sizeable chunks, and we wouldn’t have editing to rely on as a safeguard. This effect would potentially be visible for the entire duration of the scene.\nAnticipating this in advance gave us a great advantage. Given our time and budget constraints I recommended limiting the visibility of the glowing amulet either by making it glow intermittently or covering it while not in use. The director decided to have it stashed in a pocket for the majority of the scene - limiting the effect to when it was truly needed.\nThis saved us a great deal of work that wasn’t crucial for the story. It also served as an important thought-exercise that made the entire crew more mindful of similar pitfalls and on the look-out for similar opportunities, which brings up another challenge of working in this medium:\nWHY IS EVERYONE SO INEXPERIENCED\nCreating compelling Virtual Reality experiences has been attempted several times in the last few decades, but it wasn’t until now that the entertainment industry started taking it more seriously. Even established filmmakers are making their first footprints in virtual reality, and there aren’t many noteable VR films for inspiration. This makes every VR creator somewhat of an experimental filmmaker, working with a high risk of failure or undesired outcomes.\nWhether done at your fault or against your advice, fixing VR-related issues could become your responsibility, adding new challenges to your work.\nHere are examples for mishaps that may originate from lack of experience in VR storytelling:\nFailing to direct viewers’ focus. 360 Video VR lets viewers look around freely. This freedom introduces the risk of missing out on key information. Guiding viewers’ focus through a 360-degree panoramic view is much harder than through a traditional screen. With tools like framing and editing either gone or severely limited, directors that never faced this challenge might fail to recognize the importance of preparation and pre-visualization. Proper workflow demands thorough planning of actors’ positions and movements, careful timing, visual composition that dissuades viewers from looking away, and various other approaches. Giving in to the temptation of positioning parallel action around the 360 camera can cause confusion and frustration for viewers as they can only look in one direction at a time.\nBecause live-previewing is not yet widely available, such mistakes might remain unnoticed until after the shoot is over when the director gets to review footage in a VR headset. By then it might be too late to re-shoot the footage, turning the problem over to post-production. Certain things can be fixed in post-production, by manipulating the timing of certain events, adding CG elements to grab viewers’ attention and aim them in the right direction, etc. But such fixes shouldn’t to be taken lightly as they are equally affected by the heightened complexity the VR medium introduces. Finally, in the case of an unfixable mistake, you could end up creating an effect knowing that a large chunk of viewers might miss it by looking elsewhere.\nRemaining too stationary. I mentioned earlier that VR tends to incorporate long uninterrupted shots, and that camera movements tend to be avoided. This is mainly because early attempts to move cameras in VR caused nausea, and jump-cuts caused disorientation.\nWith the advancement of VR headsets, growing understanding of the causes of VR-sickness, and understanding of orientation cues, these side-effects can now be avoided without much compromise. This requires a bit of testing and prototyping, but the benefits are great compared to the limitations of a stationary camera and inability to cut. Needless to say, reintroducing cuts can help shrink the length of VFX shots, and moving the camera can further optimize viewing angles and save costs.\nInefficient visual vocabulary. Even experienced directors could find themselves out of their element when working in VR for the first time, and struggle to visualize the project they’re creating. Pre visualization tools are extremely helpful. If they’re not used for any reason, the director’s ability to envision their creation, let alone communicate it outwards, may be hindered.\nThis could not only disrupt your ability to plan and execute effects efficiently, but force you to backtrack and pre-visualize using final assets, while constrained to footage that’s far from optimal.\nRelying on outdated concepts of VFX workflows. Generally speaking, directors who are familiar with VFX workflows are great to work with. In some cases they do your job for you by anticipating and dodging certain VFX traps in the early planning stages of certain scenes. Entering the VR realm alongside such a director can be a great experience of joint discovery. But over-confidence could lead a director to prep and shoot without a VFX supervisor, assuming the same rules that apply to traditional video apply to VR as well. Even if they follow every rule in the rulebook, without having researched and tested various tools and calculated workloads and bottlenecks, they are shooting in the dark. While it’s always best to err on the side of caution when accepting VFX tasks you didn’t on-set supervise, it’s especially true in VR.\nBeing overly ambitious. For all the reasons mentioned, and especially the ones that I’ll be getting to shortly, creating a VR experience is already an ambitious undertaking that can be surprisingly challenging and mentally taxing. But that’s not going to stop dreamers from dreaming, and you may end up working for a director who believes anything is possible. Therefore it’s important to communicate from the very beginning the compounded complexities involved in creating VFX in VR, and to prepare your collaborators to unexpected limitations that are going to be encountered.\nEXPERIENCE WILL BE THRUST UPON YOU\nEveryone is fairly new to VR and many of the restrictions and pitfalls are being discovered for the first time. The good news is that lessons are being learned and documented and a growing number of filmmakers are gaining experience. Old perceptions will inevitably be replaced by new ones, and our jobs as filmmakers and VFX creators will become easier as a result.\nBeyond conceptual challenges, VR reintroduces a healthy amount of technical challenges as well. Even a fairly simple effect like adding glowing light-rays to an amulet can be quite time-consuming when you’re working in stereoscopic 6K resolution.\nPart 2 of this post lists many of the technical challenges facing VFX creators working on VR productions.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "I am looking for someone to build a website for my online car and taxi booking.

What was a potentially great idea which depended on data might simply fall by the wayside.\nAnd that goes to the heart of the great value proposition offered by cloud data warehousing. With the costs substantially reduced and the resources required to set it up consisting of little more than your mouse (and a few clicks thereof) and mere minutes to get it configured, any opportunity can be evaluated.

This makes quantum computing “noisy” as quantum bits—or qubits—lose information by getting out of sync, a process called decoherence.\nTo overcome the limitations of current quantum computers, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are developing simulations that provide a glimpse into how quantum computers work.\n“When we try to directly observe the behavior of quantum systems, like qubits, their quantum states will collapse,” said PNNL Computer Scientist Ang Li. Li is also a researcher for the Quantum Science Center and the Co-Design Center for Quantum Advantage—two of the five Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Centers. “To get around this, we use simulations to study qubits and their interaction with the environment.”\nLi and collaborators at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Microsoft use high performance computing to develop simulators that mimic real quantum devices for executing complex quantum circuits. Recently, they combined two different types of simulations to create the Northwest Quantum Simulator (NWQ-Sim) to test quantum algorithms.\n“Testing quantum algorithms on quantum devices is slow and costly. Also, some algorithms are too advanced for current quantum devices,” said Li. “Our quantum simulators can help us look beyond the limitations of existing devices and test algorithms for more sophisticated systems.”\nAlgorithms for quantum computers\nQuantum computers are especially adept at simultaneously considering large numbers of possible combinations, but the instability of qubits in modern devices contributes to errors in calculations. (Image by Timothy Holland | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory)\nNathan Wiebe, a PNNL joint appointee from the University of Toronto and affiliate professor at the University of Washington, is taking another strategy with writing code for quantum computers. Though it can be frustrating at times to be limited by the capabilities of current quantum devices, Wiebe sees this challenge as an opportunity.\n“Noisy quantum circuits produce errors in calculations,” said Wiebe. “The more qubits that are needed for a calculation, the more error-prone it is.”\nWiebe and collaborators from the University of Washington developed novel algorithms to correct for these errors in certain types of simulations.\n“This work provides a cheaper and faster way to perform quantum error correction. It potentially brings us closer to demonstrating a computationally useful example of a quantum simulation for quantum field theory on near-term quantum hardware,” said Wiebe.\nDark matter meets quantum computing\nWhile Wiebe seeks to mitigate noise by creating algorithms for error correction, Physicist Ben Loer and his colleagues look to the environment to control external sources of noise.\nLoer uses his background in achieving ultra-low levels of natural radioactivity—required to search for experimental evidence of dark matter in the universe—to help prevent qubit decoherence.\n“Radiation from the environment, such as gamma rays and X-rays, exists everywhere,” said Loer. “Since qubits are so sensitive, we had an idea that this radiation may be interfering with their quantum states.”\nTo test this, Loer, project lead Brent VanDevender, and colleague John Orrell, teamed up with researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory used a lead shield to protect qubits from radiation. They designed the shield for use within a dilution refrigerator—a technology used to produce the just-above-absolute-zero temperature necessary for operating superconducting qubits. They saw that qubit decoherence decreased when the qubits were protected.\nWhile this is the first step towards understanding how radiation affects quantum computing, Loer plans to look at how radiation disturbs circuits and substrates within a quantum system. “We can simulate and model these quantum interactions to help improve the design of quantum devices,” said Loer.\nLoer is taking his lead-shielded dilution refrigerator research underground in PNNL’s Shallow Underground Laboratory with the help of PNNL Chemist Marvin Warner\n“If we develop a quantum device that doesn’t perform as it should, we need to be able to pinpoint the problem,” said Warner. “By shielding qubits from external radiation, we can start to characterize other potential sources of noise in the device.”\nCreating a quantum ecosystem in the Pacific Northwest\nPNNL also partners with other institutions in the Pacific Northwest to accelerate quantum research and develop a quantum information science-trained workforce through the Northwest Quantum Nexus (NQN). Additionally, the NQN hosts a seminar series featuring leaders in quantum research. The NQN synergizes partnerships between companies, such as Microsoft and IonQ, as well as the University of Oregon, the University of Washington, and Washington State University.\n“PNNL’s cultivation of both industry and university collaborations are building a foundation for quantum computing in the Pacific Northwest that sets the stage for future hybrid classical-quantum computing,” said James (Jim) Ang. Ang is the chief scientist for computing and PNNL’s sector lead for the Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Scientific Computing Research program.\nLi’s research was supported by the DOE Office of Science (SC), National Quantum Information Science Research Centers: Quantum Science Center and Co-Design Center for Quantum Advantage. He was also supported by the Quantum Science, Advanced Accelerator laboratory-directed research and development initiative at PNNL.\nWiebe’s research was supported by the DOE, SC, Office of Nuclear Physics, Incubator for Quantum Simulation, and the DOE QuantISED program.

Emacs uses these\nwhite space characters as page delimiters. This makes for a very convenient way\nto split a file into sections, and quickly navigate between them. I won’t go too\ndeep into them, as Eric James has already written a great crash course on pages\nthat you should go check out.\nWhat I wanted to write about is the way that I do page navigation in Emacs. Firstly, I find the default keys to be nothing short of abhorrent.

In some corner cases Emacs might leave the cursor at the bottom of the screen after moving. Here we make sure that never happens.\nAnd then there’s the best part. It turns out you don’t need the form-feed\ncharacter to delimit pages. That’s important because some languages aren’t that\nnice about them, and some dev teams might prefer you don’t stick those\n^L all over the place. In Clojure, for instance,\ncljfmt confuses it for a\nblank line and freaks out a little.\nFortunately, Elisp style already recommends using\n;;; to indicate comment\nsections, and the form feed character is most commonly placed right above these\nsections. So why not use that instead?\nThe regexp above is a bit special. We’re setting the page delimiter to be a\n;;; at the start of a line, plus any number of empty lines or comment lines\nthat follow it (that\n# part is to exclude\nConsequently, when we hit C-x C-n or C-x C-p, the point is left right at the\nstart of the first code-line after the\n;;;.

Unfortunately, Apple does not make discounts on the price of its products, but MediaMarkt does, so pay attention to the offer that we tell you about in this post because it will surely interest you.\nWhen buying an Apple computer, the investment that the user has to make is always high, and it doesn’t matter if there is a discount or not, no matter how much discount the device has, you will surely always have to invest more than 900 euros. Now, it is not the same to go from having to pay almost 1,500 euros for the iMac to being able to buy the same product for 1,300, right? Well, that is exactly what we want to tell you about in this post, since MediaMarkt has a piece of sale on the 24-inch iMac M1. We leave them to you below.\n- iMac M1 8 GB of RAM 256 GB SSD with 8 CPU cores and 7 GPU cores: 1,299 euros, that is, a discount of 150 euros.\n- iMac M1 8 GB of RAM 256 GB SSD with 8 CPU cores and 8 GPU cores: 1489 euros, that is, a reduction of 180 euros.\n- iMac M1 8 GB of RAM 512 GB SSD with 8 CPU cores and 8 GPU cores: 1722 euros, that is, a discount of 177 euros.\nIs the 24-inch iMac worth it?\nAs we told you, despite the fact that the discount you have available is considerable, the investment you have to make is still quite high, and that makes many potential buyers who are in doubt wonder, is this device really worth it? Well, everything will depend, as always, on the needs that the user has.\nThe iMac, par excellence, is a device that has always been characterized by three factors, the least important being its designand the two primordial ones, the great performance that it offers and also the durability of the team, which is capable of performing like a charm for many years. However, when buying a computer you have to take into account what you are going to do with it.\nThe 24-inch iMac It is not intended for an ultra-professional audience, but for ordinary users who need a computer that gives them the reliability and power they need to carry out their daily tasks. These tasks are browsing the internet, making video calls, working on text documents, excel, presentations, and also occasional video editing, as well as photo editing. In the end you have to take into account that they have 8 GB of RAM, and that’s what it gives, so if you want something more focused on moving actions that require a lot of power, you would have to look at other options with more RAM.

Advancements in solar technology are estimated to not only increase the amount of power that can be produced through solar energy but make affording the technology more accessible to homeowners. These breakthroughs make it an exciting time to invest in the solar energy markets and reap the returns some investors have known about for years. Here are just a few of the most recent technology changes that are taking the industry by storm.\nWider Light Spectrum\nThe sun produces a broad range of light types, many of which are not visible to the naked eye. Solar panel manufacturers are now rethinking light absorption and are designing panels that can access nonvisible wavelengths and convert them into usable energy. This will allow a single board to be smaller in design while enabling it to absorb the greatest amount of light possible. This technology is still in testing phases but promises to redefine the idea of renewable energy.\nAs energy is converted, it is typically stored in batteries to be used later. While this is effective, the transfer of the power from the solar panel to battery storage can lead to as much as 25% waste in the form of heat loss. New advancements in cold energy storage reduce the level of waste to as low as 3% without affecting the longevity of the storage devices. This increased efficiency cuts down on solar waste and ensures a home always has the power it needs.\nReduced Installation Fees\nOne of the most common barriers preventing a homeowner from installing solar panels is the cost. The cost of the panels is minimal when compared to the fees associated with standard installation. These new technology advancements now make it more affordable, as there is less labor required to fit a home with an adequate number of solar panels.\nInvestors around the world are diversifying their portfolios by choosing to invest in the renewable energy market.

But there are lots of tricks, unknown to many Apple fans, to increase the charging speed of phones and tablets. Here are some of them.\nSimple Tricks to Charge Battery Faster\nWith the simple tips we'll give you below, you're sure to make your device load time much shorter and your phone or tablet available for use in less time than usual. This is a very simple trick to do and surprisingly as it looks, it will work. We will list four tricks to charge iPad and iPhone faster or more efficiently.\nChoose the right charger\nThe technical specifications of the charger or power adapter have different charging speeds. Not all chargers are the same and some are much faster than others, because they have more power. But that's not the only thing that affects speed. There are three different types of chargers, one with a USB socket, an iPhone adapter, and an iPad adapter. Each of them has different characteristics, which make it more or less efficient:\n- USB computer : 5 volts, 0.5 amps, 2.5 watts of power.\n- iPhone charger: 5 volts, 1 amp, 5 watts of power.\n- iPad Air charger: 5.1 volts, 2.1 amps, 10 watts of power.\nAs you can see, the numbers are not the same for everyone and while they may seem confusing at first, the numbers determine the speed of power transfer. So with a more powerful charger, charging the battery can be completed faster. And we say it can, because it also depends on other factors that can limit loading speed.\nThe charger is not a power adapter, the latter is in the device and is the adapter that regulates or manages charging. Even if you buy a charger with a higher power, it doesn't mean the charging speed is faster. But in the end charging the device via USB is the slowest way.\nRemove the cover or case\nHave you noticed how the device heats up while charging its battery? This may be due to the case or shield it was wearing at the time, causing the temperature to rise, or it could also be because you left apps open and draining power.\nIt is best to remove the case when charging this device from Apple, as heating the battery can reduce it and make charging slower or not charging satisfactorily.\nIf charging via USB, do so on a Mac\nWe've already mentioned that charging via a USB cable is the slowest way, but if you do it via a Mac with one of the high-power USB ports that some models have, it'll be quicker. On the one hand this is just a rumour, but it is true that some USB ports on Macs have different power ratings. You have to make sure that you have connected the device to the port that charges the battery, not all ports can do this, and keep the computer on for it to work properly.\nWe all know, that any technology will not last forever. In other words, various electronic objects can be damaged even if we take good care of them.

Chartered with serving more than two million people in the Perth metropolitan area, as well as more than 240 towns across the state, the PTA connects people and places safely and securely.\nFurmedge and the PTA IT team deployed a massively scalable, state-of-the-art centralized repository for all CCTV footage for a security system that is expected to grow to 12 PB. The system provides a significant improvement to PTA’s counter-terrorism and crime-reduction efforts by enabling real-time monitoring of activity for mass transit and public transportation. These efforts contributed to a 97 percent rate of successful prosecution, reduced graffiti cleanup by 70 percent and prevented a large number of fraudulent complaints and litigations against PTA and staff. Furmedge’s innovative and creative thinking helped to create a safe and secure infrastructure that continually maintains Perth’s status as one of the top 10 livable cities in the world.\nThe HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology\nGenomics is the language of life and HudsonAlpha scientists decipher its code.

However, the decision to purchase a new laptop outright may not always be the most practical or cost-effective solution, especially for short-term projects, events, or travel purposes. This is where the option to rent a laptop shines, offering unparalleled convenience and flexibility to meet diverse computing needs.\nThe Rise of Laptop Rental Services\nLaptop rental services have emerged as a popular solution for individuals and businesses seeking temporary access to high-quality computing devices without the commitment of ownership. Whether you’re a freelancer working on a short-term project, a student needing a laptop for a semester abroad, or a company organizing a conference or event, renting a laptop provides a hassle-free solution tailored to your specific requirements.\nFlexibility to Suit Your Needs\nOne of the primary advantages of renting a laptop is the flexibility it offers. Rental companies maintain a diverse inventory of laptops, ranging from entry-level models to high-performance machines with advanced specifications. This allows customers to select a laptop that aligns with their computing needs, whether it’s for basic tasks such as web browsing and document editing or more demanding activities such as graphic design, video editing, or gaming.\nAdditionally, renting a laptop enables users to choose the duration of the rental period based on their needs. Whether you require a laptop for a few days, weeks, or months, rental services offer customizable rental plans to accommodate varying timeframes, ensuring maximum flexibility and convenience.\nRenting a laptop provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new device, particularly for short-term or temporary use cases. Instead of investing a significant amount of money upfront to buy a laptop outright, customers can pay a fraction of the cost as a rental fee, allowing them to allocate their financial resources more efficiently.\nFurthermore, renting a laptop eliminates the long-term financial commitments associated with ownership, such as maintenance costs, repairs, and depreciation. This makes it an attractive option for individuals and businesses looking to optimize their budget and minimize unnecessary expenses.\nHassle-Free Maintenance and Support\nAnother key benefit of renting a laptop is the hassle-free maintenance and support provided by rental companies. In the event of technical issues, hardware malfunctions, or software problems, customers can rely on the expertise of rental professionals to promptly address and resolve any issues.\nRental agreements often include comprehensive support services, such as technical assistance, troubleshooting, and timely repairs or replacements if necessary. This ensures that customers can enjoy a seamless computing experience throughout the duration of the rental period, without having to worry about the logistics of device maintenance.\nIn conclusion, renting a laptop offers a convenient, flexible, and cost-effective solution for individuals and businesses in need of temporary access to computing technology. With the rise of laptop rental services, customers can enjoy the benefits of high-quality laptops tailored to their specific needs, without the burdens of ownership.\nWhether you’re a student, a freelancer, or a business professional, renting a laptop provides the freedom to choose a device that meets your requirements, while also offering peace of mind with hassle-free maintenance and support.

Although they have been topic of research for more than 20 years and were multiply proven to be a reliable communication method, BCIs are almost exclusively used in experimental settings, handled by qualified experts. This study investigates if ERP–BCIs can be handled independently by laymen without expert support, which is inevitable for establishing BCIs in end-user’s daily life situations. Furthermore we compared the classic character-by-character text entry against a predictive text entry (PTE) that directly incorporates predictive text into the character-matrix. N = 19 BCI novices handled a user-centered ERP–BCI application on their own without expert support. The software individually adjusted classifier weights and control parameters in the background, invisible to the user (auto-calibration). All participants were able to operate the software on their own and to twice correctly spell a sentence with the auto-calibrated classifier (once with PTE, once without). Our PTE increased spelling speed and, importantly, did not reduce accuracy. In sum, this study demonstrates feasibility of auto-calibrating ERP–BCI use, independently by laymen and the strong benefit of integrating predictive text directly into the character-matrix.\nEvent-related potentials (ERP) are brain signals in the human electroencephalogram (EEG) that occur in response to stimuli, e.g., visual stimuli (for review, see Polich, 2007). Farwell and Donchin (1988) suggested to utilize these potentials for brain–computer interface (BCI) based communication, particularly dedicated to patients with impaired motor control due to neurodegenerative disease (e.g., patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS). Such ERP–BCI is often referred to as P300-BCI due to its usual dependence on the P300, a prominent positive ERP approximately 200–400 ms post-stimulus (Picton, 1992; Polich et al., 1997). It is elicited in an oddball-paradigm, in which participants focus their attention on a rare stimulus (the odd stimulus) among many frequent but irrelevant stimuli. In the visual ERP–BCI this oddball is typically realized by presenting letters and numbers of the alphabet on a computer screen and flashing these characters randomly. Users are then asked to focus their attention on flashings of the character they intend to spell while ignoring all other characters (e.g., counting the target flashes). After a certain number of character flashings, a classification algorithm detects ERPs in the recorded signal and thereof determines the intended character. Hence, healthy as well as severely impaired users can communicate words on a character-by-character basis (e.g., Nijboer et al., 2008).\nToday, visual ERP–BCIs are most commonly used systems for BCI-based communication (for a review, see Kleih et al., 2011). It has been shown that they are reliably accurate (in healthy participants, e.g., Guger et al., 2009; Kleih et al., 2010; in patients, e.g., Sellers et al., 2006, 2010; Townsend et al., 2010) and robust for long-term use (Nijboer et al., 2008; Sellers et al., 2010). However, when considering daily use of a visual ERP–BCI system at current status of technology, some main barriers in terms of practicability and usability can be identified:\nFirst, preparation effort for EEG acquisition with commonly used wet electrodes and herewith originating inconvenience (e.g., electrode gel, washing hair) were reported as being highly discomforting for patients using BCIs (Zickler et al., 2011). This issue is currently addressed by several manufacturers, e.g., by investigating dry electrodes. First prototypes have been tested for use in BCI (e.g., Grozea et al., 2011; Zander et al., 2011, for a review see Mak et al., 2011).\nSecond, since its first description in 1988, numerous modifications to the ERP–BCI have been well studied and led to many improvements e.g., in signal processing and classification (e.g., Krusienski et al., 2006, 2008; Blankertz et al., 2011, for reviews see Lotte et al., 2007; Kleih et al., 2011) and on the stimulus presentation side (e.g., Sellers et al., 2006; Guger et al., 2009; Salvaris and Sepulveda, 2009; Takano et al., 2009; Jin et al., 2010b; Townsend et al., 2010; Frye et al., 2011; Kaufmann et al., 2011; McFarland et al., 2011). Many of these modifications have been incorporated into today’s BCI software systems and led to implementation of a plethora of parameters that allow for individual adjustment. However, being comprehensive and flexible for research purpose inevitably entails complexity and effort in user handling. Therefore, this constitutes a major problem when bringing BCI technology toward end-users (Zickler et al., 2009), as they and their care-givers may not be educated in handling of complex software as well as analysis and interpretation of acquired EEG data for calibrating the BCI system.\nThird, communication speed and accuracy are low compared to existing solutions from the field of assistive technology (AT; Zickler et al., 2011). In parts this issue may be improved with further investigation of new signal processing methods and/or modifications of the paradigm. For example Kaufmann et al. (2011) recently investigated new stimuli, i.e., flashing characters with famous faces, which clearly outperformed classic character flashing in terms of communication speed and accuracy. Consequently, choice of appropriate stimuli may enhance bit rate. However, independent of all possible improvements, the commonly used ERP–BCI paradigm is necessarily limited to spelling on a character-by-character basis. Therefore, another attempt to foster bit rate is to integrate a predictive text entry (PTE) system into the BCI paradigm (Wolpaw et al., 2002). Besides the classic character-by-character text entry, Ryan et al. (2011) presented users with a separate window of numbered text suggestions, determined by a predictive text system. Users were provided with the possibility to select these numbered text predictions by focusing on their associated number in the matrix. For example, after spelling an “y,” a first suggestion “your” would appear with number “1” among other suggestions in the separate window and by focusing on “1” in the character-matrix, users would in fact spell “your.” We therefore further refer to this paradigm as “indirect paradigm.” The authors reported that integration of such PTE system into the BCI effectively decreased the time needed to spell a sentence. A likewise indirect approach was proposed by Jin et al. (2010a) who adapted a Chinese cell-phone input system for BCI use to enable communication for languages that comprise too many characters for classic character-by-character text entry (e.g., Chinese, Japanese). In their system, seven word suggestions were presented that could be chosen indirectly by focusing on the numbers 1–7 in the matrix. Unfortunately, Ryan et al. (2011) reported that overall spelling accuracy was significantly decreased when using such indirect PTE paradigms, which was explained with higher workload and task demands (dual task interference). However, it remains unclear if this negative side effect is generalizable for all paradigms using predictive text system or if the higher workload is evoked by the indirect paradigm used in this study, i.e., selecting predictive text by focusing on its related number in the main matrix.\nWe addressed the latter two barriers by developing and evaluating a software solution, further referred to as optimized communication interface (OCI). It was specifically designed for use by laymen and thus reduces handling of the whole BCI application to a minimum of several button presses, thereby automatically controlling all other necessary steps in the background. Its core feature lies in an auto-calibration of the classifier that – with one button press – individually adjusts classifier weights to the user’s brain signals. The system assesses quality of the signal recorded during a calibration session and decides if further calibration data is needed. Furthermore a PTE system was integrated as optional choice. Instead of numbering text suggestions and requiring the user to indirectly focus on the appropriate numbers (Ryan et al., 2011), we integrated predictive text directly into the matrix. This could decrease workload and task demand as users directly focus on the suggested word and its selection would be similar to selections of any other character in the matrix.\nThe herein presented study evaluated use of OCI by investigating (1) if auto-calibrating BCI systems can be used independently by laymen and (2) if predictive text incorporated into the speller matrix may better serve the goal of fast but highly accurate BCI-based communication than the classic character-by-character selection.\nMaterials and Methods\nOptimized Communication Interface (OCI) Software\nImplementation of OCI was based on the core modules of BCI2000 (Schalk et al., 2004, Version 3, http://bci2000.org) and compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 compiler. It can be grouped into three work stages: (1) modification of the graphical user interface, (2) implementation of an auto-calibration and (3) implementation of a stimulus presentation paradigm including a PTE system.\nGraphical user interface\nBCI2000’s graphical user interface was modified using Qt Designer 4.7. Handling of the whole BCI application was reduced to one button and an optional check mark for switching on the PTE system (see Figure 1). When starting OCI, the button acts as a start button for the calibration session. With one button press, all parameters are automatically set in the background and the classic character-matrix appears. After a predefined calibration word was spelled, the matrix disappears and auto-calibration is performed in the background without user intervention. In case of successful calibration, the button automatically turns into a start button for the online, free-spelling mode. Otherwise it would act as a start button for recalibration of the system.\nFigure 1. Graphical user interface of OCI. The application is controlled with one button only. When starting OCI, the button displays “Kalibrieren” (German for “calibrate”). During the calibration phase it acts as a stop button, whereas after successful calibration it turns into a start button for the online mode. Optionally, a predictive text entry system is switched on by selecting the “Bibliothek” check mark (German for “library”).\nAuto-calibration was performed by automatically transferring the acquired data to MATLAB (The Mathworks, USA; version 2010b) using the MATLAB Component Runtime 4.14 to bridge between C++ and MATLAB code. A stepwise linear discriminant analysis (intervals of 800 ms post-stimulus, no spatial filtering) was performed based on data from all 12 EEG electrodes and thereof classifier weights were computed for the online sessions. Also, the number of sequences (NoS; a sequence consists of all rows and columns flashed once) used for flashing the characters in the online sessions was computed. Accuracy and stability of offline classification determined the outcome of the calibration session: (1) If accuracy was below 75% with 15 sequences, calibration session had to be performed again. (2) NoS used for online sessions was adjusted based on the stability of the classifier output, i.e., maximum accuracy remained stable after a given amount of data segments. In this case, NoS was defined as the minimum number of sequences to reach a stable offline accuracy maximum plus two sequences. E.g., if stable 100% accuracy were reached offline with seven sequences, NoS would have been nine during online sessions. (3) If no plateau was reached but classification accuracy was above 75%, NoS was set to 15. (4) The minimum NoS was restricted to eight to prevent from high error rates in long spelling sessions.\nNote that auto-calibration was performed invisible to the user and all parameters for the online sessions were automatically adjusted without expert or user intervention.\nPredictive text and stimulus presentation paradigm\nFirst, we wrote an application that screened several prominent German internet pages (e.g., news pages) for words and counted their amount of occurrence. The word list was then sorted with decreasing occurrence and manually checked for non-sense words or words with internet specific content, e.g., name of the webpage holder. The final list comprised 82.616 words. This number includes various grammatical variations of the same word, e.g., plural forms.\nSuggestion of predictive text and stimulus presentation matrix was implemented in Python 2.5 and connected to BCI2000 via user datagram protocol. After each letter selection, the application screened the list downwards to update the six most likely words that were than presented in the first column of the speller matrix. If less than six words matched the previously entered letters, fewer up to none text suggestions were presented. At the beginning of new words, i.e., after selection of space, word deletion or after selection of a predictive word, the six most frequent words were presented (first six words of the list).\nFor the control condition, i.e., a matrix without PTE, an identical Python based stimulus presentation paradigm was used. Only it did not contain the PTE. Figure 2 provides examples of both stimulus presentation matrices. All matrices were of size 6 × 6 and displayed on a computer screen approximately 70 cm distant from the participant (size: 22′′; refresh rate: 60 Hz; resolution: 1680 × 1050; size of matrix: 40 × 25 cm2).\nFigure 2. Two paradigms were tested. (A) The classic character matrix consisting of single characters. Furthermore the matrix contains functions for deletion (delete character), space, and escape (finish writing). (B) Our new predictive text entry paradigm with predictive text included into the first column of the matrix to allow for direct selection of words. Also, the matrix contains functions for deletion (delete character, delete word), space, and escape.\nAs predictive text was directly integrated into the matrix it could be flashed in a similar manner than usually done in ERP-BCIs, i.e., in both conditions (PTE and character-by-character entry) the full 6 × 6 matrix was flashed row/column wise. Thus, selection of predictive text was also performed by counting each highlighting of the intended word to spell. The BCI system always chose the cell in the matrix with highest probability, which could be a selection of predictive text, single characters or commands (delete, space, escape) depending on the content of the chosen matrix cell (see Figure 2).\nElectrodes were mounted by the experimenter. Thereafter, all participants handled the software fully on their own without expert support. Handling of OCI was explained in a condensed user manual (paper hardcopy) and with two short videos.\nFirst, participants were required to start OCI and to start a calibration session where they had to spell the word “BRAINPOWER.” Each character was highlighted 30 times per letter to spell [NoS = 15; stimulus duration of 31.25 ms; inter-stimulus interval (ISI) of 125 ms]. This resulted in a final data set of 30 × 10 target and 150 × 10 non-target stimuli. From this data set, classifier weights were automatically computed in the background, invisible to the user.\nThereafter, participants twice spelled a German sentence comprising of 45 characters (nine words) using the automatically adjusted classifier weights and automatically determined NoS. Errors had to be corrected immediately such that the finalized sentence was 100% accurate. Then, spelling had to be terminated by selecting twice the “escape” function from the matrix, which brought them back to the main application window (necessary double selection constituted a safety mechanism of the “escape” function, to prevent unintended program termination due to selection error, i.e., selecting “escape” only once had no consequence). The inter-trial interval was 5 s to provide participants with enough time to perceive feedback on the spelled character/word and to screen all predictive text suggestions before the next stimulus sequence began. The same sentence was spelled once with PTE and once without, but both times with equal classifier weights and equal NoS to ensure comparability (within-subject design; calibration had to be performed only once). The order was randomized across participants.\nAfter finalization of the spelling sessions, participants were asked to fill out questionnaires on handling of OCI and the PTE.\nN = 20 healthy university students with normal or corrected to normal vision participated in the study. All participants were native German speakers and BCI novices. Due to equipment failure, data acquisition for N = 1 participant was aborted. The final sample comprised N = 19 participants (10 male, mean age 23.9 years, SD = 3.7, range 20–35). The experiment was conducted in accordance with standard ethical guidelines as defined by the Declaration of Helsinki (World Medical Association) and the European Council’s Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine (Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine). All participants gave signed informed consent prior to the experiment and received 8 € per hour for taking part in the study.\nElectroencephalogram was acquired from 12 passive Ag/AgCl electrodes that were placed according to the guidelines of the American Electroencephalographic Society at positions Fz, FC1, FC2, C3, Cz, C4, P3, Pz, P4, O1, Oz, and O2. Furthermore an electrooculogram (EOG) was obtained from two horizontal (hEOG) and two vertical (vEOG) sintered Ag/AgCl electrodes. Both, EEG and EOG were recorded at a sampling rate of 256 Hz and amplified with a 16-channel g.USBamp amplifier (g.tec Medical Engineering GmbH, Austria).\nThe study aimed at investigating two independent aspects, i.e., feasibility of auto-calibrated BCI use and benefit of a new PTE paradigm.\nBesides computation of bit rate (as described e.g., in Wolpaw et al., 2000; Wolpaw et al., 2002; Serby et al., 2005) we computed a bit rate measure incorporating the information transferred with selections of whole words. PTE systems enhance bit rate in that with one selection many characters are communicated at once. Thus true bit rate is not only depending on the number of accurate selections made but also on the information transferred with each selection. Certainly such measure heavily depends on the length of the selected words. For example true bit rate would be five times higher when selecting a 10-character word instead of a two-character word, although bit rate in terms of selections/minute would be identical. Therefore true bit rate has to be interpreted with caution and is only provided to display the potential of PTE systems.\nFor offline analysis of ERPs, EEG data were filtered with 0.1 Hz high and 30 Hz low pass and corrected for ocular artifacts (Gratton et al., 1983). To avoid influence of overlapping ERPs due to the short ISI used in this study (ISI = 125 ms), only target stimuli with a minimum time distance of 469 ms (i.e., at least two non-target stimuli in between) were taken into account for ERP analysis. For statistical comparison, P300 peak amplitudes were obtained as maximum potentials between 200 and 300 ms at electrode Cz for both conditions.\nApart from ocular artifact correction with Brain Vision Analyser (Brain Products GmbH, Germany), all data analysis was performed using Matlab (The Mathworks, USA; version 2010b), and SPSS statistics (IBM, USA). Statistical comparison was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), except for not normally distributed data for which Wilcoxon-Test was used.\nAll participants were able to handle OCI on their own without expert support and to twice spell the predefined sentence correctly using the auto-calibrated classifier. In a forced-choice questionnaire all participants reported, that handling of the software was straightforward (average score: 3.84, with 1 = “not at all,” 2 = “not really,” 3 = “mostly,” 4 = “completely”), that they would be able to manage the BCI application on their own in the future (3.84) and to explain it to others (3.74).\nFor all participants, classifier weights were adjusted automatically after one calibration session and no repetitions were needed. In the consecutively scheduled online spelling sessions participants achieved overall good performance levels with regards to the length of the spelled sentence (average performance with classic character-by-character paradigm: 91.2%, SD = 7.8, range: 76–100% accuracy).\nAs auto-calibration may lead to classification of ocular artifacts, classifier accuracy of the auto-calibration as well as achieved stable NoS (see Auto-Calibration) were compared to accuracy and NoS after ocular artifact detection. No significant difference was found for the automatically selected NoS [F(1, 18) = 0.156, p = .697, η2partial = 0.009]. Also, offline classification accuracy did not differ before and after correction [With minimal NoS possible (NoS = 1): F(1, 18) = 0.518, p = .481, η2partial=0.028; with minimal NoS used online (NoS = 8): Z = −1.0, p = .317]. Furthermore, we checked how many NoS were necessary to achieve a stable classifier accuracy of 100%. Difference was not significant before and after ocular artifact correction [F(1, 18) = 0.010, p = .920, η2partial = 0.001].\nPredictive Text Entry\nFigure 3 summarizes the overall time needed to finish each sentence correctly. In line with Ryan et al. (2011), PTE significantly decreased spelling time [F(1, 18) = 95.74, p < .001, η2partial = 0.84]. Average time needed to finish the task was reduced by factor 1.8 (12.4 min as compared to 22.3 min without PTE).\nFigure 3. Overall time needed to copy spell the sentence (including error correction and escape of spelling mode after finalization of 100% accurate sentence): within-subject comparison between classic character-by-character text entry and predictive text entry paradigm.\nHowever, in contrast to the indirect paradigm by Ryan et al. (2011), accuracy did not decrease with our PTE paradigm [F(1, 18) = 1.64, p = .216, η2partial = 0.084]. Performance ranged from 100% accuracy to 76% (classic character-by-character condition) and to 74% respectively (PTE condition), see Figure 4. Bit rate (in terms of selections per minute) was comparably high for both conditions (character-by-character: M = 15.1 characters/min, SD = 5.6; PTE: M = 15.7 characters/min, SD = 5.7). Figure 5 displays bit rate as well as true bit rate. True bit rate was higher for all participants, when using the PTE paradigm. For those participants that made many errors with this paradigm (P08, P17) benefit in terms of true bit rate was small. On the other hand, participants with high accuracy also show a high benefit. Average true bit rate for the sentence was M = 12.0 characters/min (SD = 2.7) with character-by-character text entry and M = 20.6 characters/min (SD = 5.3) with PTE. Please note that true bit rate heavily depends on the length of the selected words (see Analysis) and thus needs to be interpreted with caution. In this experiment, word length of the selected words was M = 4.1 characters on average (SD = 1.9; range: 2–8 characters).\nFigure 4. Average number of errors per selected item: within-subject comparison between classic character-by-character text entry and predictive text entry paradigm. As the number of items selected to finish the sentence varied between participants and conditions (e.g., due to error correction or selection of predictive text) no absolute amount of errors is presented but instead the amount of errors per selected item.\nFigure 5. Bit rate (in terms of selections per time unit) and true bit rate (in terms of communicated characters per time unit): within-subject comparison between classic character-by-character text entry and predictive text entry paradigm.\nFigure 6 displays the grand average ERPs for both conditions with most prominent P300 amplitude at electrode Cz around 246.5 ms (SD = 23.2; character-by-character text entry) and 250.0 ms (SD = 24.3; PTE). Grand average P300 amplitude was 3.55 μV (SD = 1.19) for character-by-character text entry and 3.44 μV (SD = 1.40) for PTE. No within-subject difference was found for P300 amplitudes between the conditions [F(1, 18) = 0.72, p = .410, η2partial = 0.038].\nFigure 6. Grand average event-related potentials: within-subject comparison between classic character-by-character text entry and predictive text entry paradigm.\nWe further compared the amount of errors made when selecting a character against the amount of errors made when selecting a word or command. When using the classic character-by-character text entry, participants made M = 2.2 errors (SD = 2.2) on average for selecting a single character and M = 4.2 errors (SD = 4.8) for selecting a command. Error rates in the PTE condition were slightly lower (single character selection: M = 1.3, SD = 1.6; selection of command or word: M = 1.6, SD = 2.5). To write the sentence without any error, 10 commands (8× space, 2× escape) and 37 characters were necessary in the character-by-character text entry condition, whereas 11 commands and words and 16 characters were necessary in the PTE condition.\nEvaluation of questionnaires revealed that all participants would prefer to use the PTE paradigm instead of character-by-character spelling, when exposed to BCI-based spelling in the future. Only one participant (participant 9) reported higher effort in selecting complete words as compared to single characters, which however was not reflected in his performance.\nThis study provides evidence, that current BCI technology can be automatized and operated by BCI novices through a user-centered, easy-to-use graphical user interface. This is inevitable when bringing BCIs out of the laboratory environment to end-user’s homes. Zickler et al. (2009) assessed user needs and requirements from N = 77 AT users and reported “functionality,” “possibility of independent use,” and “easiness of use” as most important requirements. The latter was one of the main reasons for dissatisfaction with current AT solutions. Importantly, our results from handling of OCI indicate high satisfaction with both, “easiness of use” and “possibility of independent use.” Furthermore, “functionality” was high as none of the auto-calibration sessions had to be performed twice and all participants were able to correctly spell the sentences. Overall spelling accuracy was high and none of the participants performed with lower than 70% accuracy – an accuracy level previously described as minimum level for communication (Kübler et al., 2001).\nWhen considering adoption of a new AT solution, “functionality/effectiveness” was identified as the major critical factor for potential end-users (Zickler et al., 2009). This study suggested integration of predictive text directly into the matrix and proofed high benefit in terms of spelling speed (effectiveness) without loss of accuracy (functionality). As can be particularly seen from the true bit rate of participants with lower accuracy in the PTE paradigm, a high performance level is inevitable to clearly benefit from a PTE system. The unaffected P300 amplitudes in our study show that when integrating predictive text directly into the matrix workload may remain low, as predictive text is selected in a similar manner than single characters. The drop in performance reported by Ryan et al. (2011) may thus indeed be attributed to higher workload and dual task interference in the indirect PTE paradigm. The remaining performance level in our study, as well as the heavily decreased time needed to spell a sentence may well explain why none of the participants reported to prefer the character-by-character over the PTE paradigm. Advantageously, daily life application with such PTE system could easily be equipped with algorithms for grammar recognition and learning of new words.\nLimitations and Future Experimentation\nTo reduce the amount of errors during spelling of long sentences, we restricted the automatically adjusted NoS to a minimum of eight sequences. This limit was set on basis of previous experience. Apparently, there is a trade-off, as low NoS increases the probability of errors due to a low number of trials to average, whereas high NoS may entail errors due to increased duration of spelling time. We speculate that for some participants NoS could be further reduced. This could also be realized with recently introduced dynamic stopping methods. (e.g., Lenhardt et al., 2008; Höhne et al., 2010; Liu et al., 2010; Schreuder et al., 2011b; for comparison of methods see Schreuder et al., 2011a). Instead of flashing characters with a fixed NoS, dynamic stopping algorithms adjust the NoS in every trial, i.e., stimulus presentation stops as soon as probability of correct target classification reaches a certain level.\nThis study aimed at investigating if spelling at high accuracy level is possible using an auto-calibrated classifier. Comparison to manually calibrated classifier performance needs separate investigation. Manual calibration may still be valuable for some cases (e.g., for exclusion of bad channels or detection of equipment failure). Auto-calibration may also be further equipped with mechanisms for detecting such cases. Our results are promising in that high accuracy could be achieved in all participants using auto-calibration and none of the participants needed recalibration of the system.\nWe assume that our validation results from healthy users may well transfer to end-users as we cautiously addressed their major concerns (Zickler et al., 2009). However, Zickler et al. (2010) found differences between end-users and care-givers with regards to their expectations of new AT solutions – differences which may certainly also exist in our healthy sample. Thus, it is inevitable to develop and validate new BCI technology in close discussion with them. Future experimentation therefore needs to validate our results in an end-user sample.\nIn sum, this study specifically addressed critical aspects of ERP–BCI-based communication reported by end-users, i.e., “functionality/effectiveness,” “easiness of use,” and “possibility of independent use.” Our results proofed feasibility of expert independent BCI-based communication using auto-calibration and underlined the strong benefit of predictive text directly integrated into the spelling matrix.\nConflict of Interest Statement\nThe authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.\nWe thank Ruben Real for his support.

The original game directed players to the Gamespy master server which is no longer working. So to fix this, you will need to direct your connection for multiplayer to the openspy.net master emulator. How can this be done? Simple. (1) You will need to down load the zip file Crynetwork.dll from this site: (2) You will need to open the game and find the path or location of the original crynetwork.dll. Mine is located here: D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Electronic Arts\\Crytek\\Crysis\\Bin32. (3) Find the Crynetwork.dll and replace it with the one that you just downloaded from Moddb.com. This will redirect your game from the old Gamespy server to the new Openspy master server. (4) So now you can launch the game, create an openspy game account just like back in day when Gamespy was working. On DvD version it works.\nOnly registered members can share their thoughts.

Wherever you stand on the debate over which cloud giant will reign supreme, it's clear the economic forces shaping the market are evolving quickly.\nNow comes new cloud computing data based on Total Cost of Infrastructure (TCOI) proving cloud providers are innovating and reducing costs in areas beyond hardware. The result is a more compelling case for cloud as a far cheaper platform than a build-your-own datacenter. Further, the economic gap advantage favoring the cloud provider platform will widen over time.\nIn many ways, cloud computing is bringing to the enterprise world what Henry Ford did for cars. Ford developed and designed a method for manufacturing that steadily reduced the cost of manufacturing the Model T, thus lowering the price of his car. The result was a decline in the number of US auto manufacturers from more than 200 in the 1920s to just eight in 1940. This astounding 96% reduction in manufacturers over 20 years foreshadows what could happen to enterprises running their own data centers in the not too distant future.\nIf you're still with me, here's why.\nPreviously, I posited that the future of cloud computing is the availability of more computing power at a much lower cost. This we call Bezos's law, defined as, \"the history of cloud, a unit of computing power price is reduced by 50 percent approximately every three years.\"\nBezos's law measures the cost of a given unit of cloud computing over a period of time, as compared to Moore's Law, which we know is, \"the number of transistors on integrated circuits over a period of time.\"\nBezos's law is a measure of the rate of change of Total Cost of Infrastructure Ownership (TCIO), while Moore's law measures the rate of change of CPU, a small fraction of the cost of a datacenter or cloud.\nWhy is TCIO so relevant?\nThe team from IBM SoftLayer commissioned McKinsey to do a study around TCIO. The comprehensive analysis slide (below) highlights the following about total costs:\n- 30% for Labor\n- 35% for Hardware\n- 55% for Hardware and Facilities\nWhen considering the rate of Bezos's law in light of IBM's analysis, it is clear that cloud providers are innovating and reducing costs in areas beyond hardware.\nThere are obvious drivers ensuring the compounding trend line as described in Bezos's law will continue for many decades.\n- Scale: Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft are everyday adding huge amounts of capacity capable of running most Fortune 1,000 companies.\n- Innovation: The cloud market is competitive with innovative approaches and services being brought to market quickly.\n- Competition & Price Transparency: While the base IaaS service varies among providers, they are close enough for customers to easily compare offerings\nLet's assume on average the Fortune 5000 each have seven datacenters for a total of 35,000.\nBezos's law will drive (think Henry Ford - Model T) a similar titanic shift form datacenter to cloud, which will result in 90% reduction (approximately 30,000) in enterprise owned and operated datacenters by 2030.\nThis is of course obvious given the Gartner prognostication about the future size of the cloud market (Gartner: Public cloud services to hit $131B by 2017). There is likely to be new businesses dedicated to repurposing datacenters to retirement homes or new fangled dance clubs.\nJust as people first thought automobiles were toys, early critics said the cloud would only be for limited use -- test/dev environments and spiky workloads. Now consensus is that the cloud can be for almost all applications. Early cars were expensive and unreliable, but the evidence reveals a compelling reduction in TCIO that put the whole country on wheels. It may be the end of the road for the datacenter, but the economic forces shaping the cloud signal it's the beginning of a better idea for the enterprise.\nMany banks and financial institutions are experimenting with containers in development environments, but when will they move into production?

Be Protected and joyful!", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States has responded to the current ransomware epidemic by issuing ransomware advice for businesses and consumers. The FTC ransomware advice for businesses comes following a spate of high profile ransomware attacks on U.S businesses. The threat has prompted many U.S. government agencies to release ransomware advice for businesses in the past few months.\nRansomware is a form of malware that encrypts files on a victim’s computer and prevents them from being accessed. After a computer is infected, the attackers issue a ransom demand. In order to obtain the key to unlock the encryption the victim is required to pay a ransom. The ransom amount can be set by the attackers, although it is often around $500 per infected computer.\nRansomware has proved incredibly popular with cybercriminals as it offers a quick source of revenue. Since payment is made in an anonymous cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, money can be collected without fear of being caught.\nThe scale of the problem has been shown by numerous reports by security firms. This month, SentinelOne released the results of a global survey that showed 48% of organizations had experienced at least one ransomware attack in the past 12 months. The companies that had been attacked had been forced to deal with an average of 6 ransomware incidents in the past year.\nA report released by Beazley’s Breach Response Unit suggests ransomware attacks between January and September were four times higher than in 2015, while a report from Kaspersky Lab suggests there has been an eightfold increase in attacks in the past year.\nRansomware is installed via a number of different attack vectors. Ransomware gangs use exploit kits on websites that probe for vulnerabilities in browsers. Those vulnerabilities are leveraged to download ransomware. Malvertising is also used. This is the use of third party ad networks to spread malware. Adverts are created containing malicious code which directs users to websites that silently download ransomware. Ransomware downloaders were also allegedly sent out via Facebook Messenger this week.\nWhile not all ransomware attacks result in files being encrypted, attacks carry a significant cost. SentinelOne suggests that in the United States, organizations spend an average of 38 man-hours restoring files from backups after a ransomware attack. Additional investment in security is also required after an attack.\nSince ransomware can spread laterally across a network, a single infection can result in many computers being infected. Ransom demands of the order of tens of thousands of dollars are not uncommon. The recent ransomware attack on the San Francisco ‘Muni’ rail system saw a ransom demand of $73,000 issued.\nRansomware Advice for Businesses\nUnfortunately, antivirus software can be ineffective at preventing ransomware attacks. Businesses looking to defend against ransomware must therefore use a range of techniques. These include:\n- Ensuring all software is kept up to date and patches applied promptly\n- Setting antivirus and antimalware programs to update definitions automatically\n- Use endpoint security controls to prevent ransomware installations\n- Implement a robust spam filter to prevent malicious emails from being delivered to end users\n- Use a web filtering solution to prevent employees from visiting malicious websites and to monitor users’ online activities to identify high risk activities\n- Use intrusion prevention software\n- Train the workforce on security best practices and test knowledge to ensure training has been effective\n- Ensure all members of staff are aware who to contact and what to do if they believe they have inadvertently installed malicious software\nTo avoid paying a ransom, it is essential to ensure that regular backups of data are performed. Multiple backups should be made to minimize the risk of data loss. Those backups should be stored on an air-gapped device to avoid backup files also being encrypted. A ransomware response plan should also be developed to reduce disruption to the business in the event of an attack.\nThe email marketing service MailChimp employs security controls to ensure that its customers do not use the service to send spam; yet, this week malicious spam emails were sent from multiple accounts after a MailChimp account hack.\nCustomer accounts that were breached included Business News Australia, Brisbane’s The Sit Down Comedy Club, and gardening and home services provider Jim’ Group.\nMailChimp accounts are valuable to spammers as subscribers to company newsletters are more likely to trust the emails than they would an email from an unknown sender. The hijacked accounts were used to send spam emails demanding an invoice be paid. Spammers often target businesses with malicious emails that spread malware. If malware such as a keylogger can be installed, the attackers can gain access to corporate email accounts or gain network access. Corporate bank account details can be stolen and fraudulent transfers made.\nA fake invoice is a common ploy used to fool email recipients into opening an infected email attachment or clicking on a malicious link. A sense of urgency is often included to scare the recipient into opening the attachment. A threat of legal action if the outstanding invoice is not paid promptly is a common tactic.\nIn this case, a number of different variants were sent. Some emails contained an image with an embedded hyperlink which recipients could click to view the invoice. The spammers also included the logo of accounting software Quickbooks for extra authenticity.\nInitially, it appeared that MailChimp had experienced a security breach that resulted in spammers gaining access to accounts; although the company issued a statement saying that an investigation of the incident did not point to an internal breach.\nMailChimp told Motherboard “MailChimp’s normal compliance processes identified and disabled a small number of individual accounts sending fake invoices. We have investigated the situation and have found no evidence that MailChimp has been breached. The affected accounts have been disabled, and fraudulent activity has stopped.”\nHow the MailChimp account hack was pulled off remains a mystery. The spammers may have managed to guess the passwords that were used to secure accounts or they could have obtained those passwords by other means. The practice of reusing passwords on multiple platforms could be to blame. If a breach of one platform occurs, cybercriminals can gain access to all other online services that use the same password.\nIn a recent post, computer security blogger Graham Cluley suggested some passwords were obtained by the password stealing Trojan Vawtrak. Cluley was contacted by an anonymous source who claimed to be in possession of two thousand MailChimp login credentials which were recorded by Vawtrak.\nDetails of the MailChimp account hack are unlikely to be released, although the incident shows how important it is for businesses to use two-factor authentication to secure their online accounts. The incident also shows how important it is to exercise caution and to treat any email attachment of hyperlink as potentially malicious, even if the sender of the email is known.\nThe biggest hacking threat to businesses comes not from unpatched software, but phishing. An incredibly simple, yet highly effective way that cybercriminals gain access to networks. Phishing can be used to bypass even the most sophisticated of cybersecurity defenses. Why go to the trouble of trying to find a weakness in highly sophisticated cybersecurity defenses when a simple email can get an employee to give the attacker their login credentials?\nAs Jeh Johnson, Secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, recently explained to attendees at the Financial Crimes and Cybersecurity Symposium in New York, phishing is one of the department’s biggest fears.\n“The most devastating attacks by the most sophisticated attackers almost always begin with the simple act of spear-phishing,” says Johnson. It is no surprise that phishing is the biggest hacking threat to businesses. Phishing is alarmingly effective.\nEven multi-million dollar cybersecurity defenses can be bypassed with a simple phishing email. The social engineering techniques used by cybercriminals often get the desired response.\nMost of the largest hacks in the United States were possible not due to a security weakness, but because an employee responded to a phishing email. The cyberattacks on Ebay, Target, the Office of Personnel Management, JP Morgan, Anthem, and Sony Pictures all started with a simple phishing email.\nCybercriminals have also started using phishing emails to distribute ransomware. Malicious links are sent to company employees along with a request to click for free items, to take part in prize draws, or even to secure their computers to prevent cyberattacks.\nPhishing has been around for as long as email and cybercriminals will not stop using phishing to gain access to networks, install malware, lock files with ransomware, and steal data. Phishing is likely to remain the biggest hacking threat to businesses. Organizations – and their employees – just need to get better at identifying and blocking phishing attempts.\nOne of the best defenses against phishing is to ensure that all staff members from the CEO down receive security awareness and anti-phishing training.\nTraining alone is insufficient. Staff can be told how to identify phishing attempts, but their ability to spot a phishing email must be put to the test. Anti-phishing skills need to be regularly tested. Dummy phishing emails should be sent to check to see who responds. Johnson says his department often sends fake phishing emails – free Redskins tickets for example – to test anti-phishing prowess. Anyone who responds is provided with further training.\nTraining is important in case a phishing email reaches an employee’s inbox, although it is far better to ensure phishing emails are not delivered. The best technological defense against phishing is the use of a spam filter. If phishing emails are not delivered to inboxes, staff members will not be able to respond and their anti-phishing skills will not be put to the test.\nSpamTitan is a highly effective spam filtering solution for businesses that blocks 99.97% of spam email.

SpamTitan has now won 36 consecutive VB Bulletin antispam awards.\nSpamTitan is a highly scalable anti-spam solution that’s suitable for businesses of all sizes.

For further information contact TitanHQ today and take the first step toward banishing spam.\nMalicious email spam volume has increased again. According to the latest figures from Kaspersky Lab, malicious email spam volume in Q3, 2016 reached a two-year high.\nIn Q3 alone, Kaspersky Lab’s antivirus products identified 73,066,751 malicious email attachments which represents a 37% increase from the previous quarter. Malicious spam email volume has not been at the level seen in Q3 since the start of 2014. Kaspersky Lab’s figures show that six out of ten emails (59.19%) are spam; a rise of around 2% from Q2, 2016. September was the worst month of the year to date, with 61.25% of emails classified as unsolicited spam.\nSpam includes a wide range of unsolicited emails including advertising and marketing by genuine companies, although cybercriminals extensively use email to distribute malware such as banking Trojans, keyloggers, and ransomware. The use of the latter has increased considerably throughout the year. In Q3, the majority of malicious emails contained either ransomware or downloaders that are used to install ransomware on personal computers and business networks.\nRansomware is a form of malware that locks files on a computer with powerful encryption, preventing the victim from gaining access to their data. Many ransomware variants are capable of spreading laterally and can encrypt files on other networked computers. All it takes is for one individual in a company to open an infected email attachment or click on a malicious link in an email for ransomware to be downloaded.\nSpammers often use major news stories to trick people into opening the messages. The release of the iPhone 7 in Q3 saw spammers take advantage. Spam campaigns attempted to convince people that they had won an iPhone 7. Others offered the latest iPhone at rock bottom prices or offered an iPhone 7 for free in exchange for agreeing to test the device. Regardless of the scam, the purpose of the emails is the same. To infect computers with malware.\nThere was an increase in malicious email spam volume from India in Q3. India is now the largest source of spam, accounting for 14.02% of spam email volume. Vietnam was second with 11.01%, with the United States in third place, accounting for 8.88% of spam emails sent in the quarter.\nPhishing emails also increased considerably in Q3, 2016. Kaspersky Lab identified 37,515,531 phishing emails in the quarter; a 15% increase compared to the Q2.\nBusiness email compromise (BEC) attacks and CEO fraud are on the rise. These scams involve impersonating a CEO or executive and convincing workers in the accounts department to make fraudulent bank transfers or email sensitive data such as employee tax information. Some employees have been fooled into revealing login credentials for corporate bank accounts. Cybercriminals use a range of social engineering techniques to fool end users into opening emails and revealing sensitive information to attackers.\nSecurity awareness training is important to ensure all individuals – from the CEO down – are aware of email-borne threats; although all it takes is for one individual to be fooled by a malicious email for a network to be infected or a fraudulent bank transfer to be made.\nThe rise in malicious email spam volume in Q3, 2016 shows just how important it is to install an effective spam filter such as SpamTitan.\nSpamTitan has been independently tested by VB Bulletin and shown to block 99.97% of spam emails. SpamTitan has also been verified as having a low false positive rate of just 0.03%. Dual antivirus engines (Kaspersky Lab and ClamAV) make SpamTitan highly effective at identifying malicious emails and preventing them from being delivered to end users.\nIf your end users are still receiving spam emails you should consider switching antispam providers.

If a customer designates a problem as a Severity 1 with critical business impact or System down situation, IBM will work on it 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, providing the customer is also available to work during those hours. Customers can change the severity level of a problem if circumstances change from when it was first entered to match current business impact conditions.\nHere are the various Severity level situations and examples :\nSeverity 1 Critical Impact/System Down: Business critical software component is inoperable or critical interface has failed. This usually applies to a production environment and indicates you are unable to use the program resulting in a critical impact on operations. This condition requires an immediate solution. Support analyst will respond to your service request within one business hour. IBM will work on it 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, until the issue is solved.\nSeverity 2 Significant business impact: A software component is severely restricted in its use or you are in jeopardy of missing business deadlines because of problems with a new application rollout. These service requests will be handled only during the business hours of the prime shift.\nSeverity 3 Some business impact: Indicates the program is usable with less significant features (not critical to operations) unavailable. These service requests will be handled only during the business hours of the prime shift.\nSeverity 4 Minimal business impact: A non-critical software component is malfunctioning, causing minimal impact, or a non-technical request is made. These service requests will be handled only during the business hours of the prime shift.\nHere is the software support handbook you can refer before opening a PMR:\nIMLillianLei 120000CR7P Visits (1730)\nOnly the named callers can see PMRs for their company; basic callers can only see PMRs they have opened.

However, ensuring the safe and secure use of these models is a critical concern for every organization, leading many to ban their use.\nNot only is that reaction short-sighted, it’s unnecessary. LLMs can be integrated safely and securely at scale across the enterprise with no risk to the organization, its employees, or its confidential data. CalypsoAI’s ground-breaking GenAI security and enablement platform is user-friendly with no costly or inconvenient changes needed to integrate into the existing security infrastructure and provides seamless API integration. It’s also user-friendly on the front end with its simple, straightforward user interface that requires no time-consuming employee training.\nOur platform is LLM-agnostic, so general LLMs, such as ChatGPT, Anthropic, and others can be made available across the enterprise, and specialized models, such as BloombergGPT, Harvey and others can be made available to specific teams or individuals. Users select the model they want to use from a curated, admin-determined drop-down list. The platform adds no latency issues, so the user experiences the same rapid response they would without using the platform, but with the added security that a set of customizable scanners review every prompt. If a prompt triggers a customized, organization-specific directive regarding inappropriate content or usage, it is blocked and does not leave the system.\nIn essence, the platform functions as a weightless, protective trust layer for the organization’s security infrastructure by directing users’ LLM prompts through scanners that filter outgoing content for data leakage, including terms that violate organization-specific acceptable-use policies; project names, proprietary data, or personal identifiers, such as employee numbers; or attempts to bypass internal controls, just as jailbreak attacks or other adversarial attacks. It also scans LLM responses for unacceptable content, such as malicious code or offensive, unethical, or dangerous information. The interface also provides admin-level users with granular controls for fine-tuning the platform’s behavior, allowing for easy adaptability when internal or external policies are modified or the threat environment changes, and the ability to apply policy-based access controls for teams and individual users.\nIn addition to minimizing concerns and complexity, CalypsoAI’s platform offers robust traceability and enables the organization to review real-time and long-term analytics for activity, content, cost, and other significant data points. The platform records all details of each interaction, including the prompt, the user, the date and time, and all scanner interactions, providing full auditability and attribution in a secure, private environment. Information can also be deleted at the admin level to ensure compliance with regulatory, industry, or company privacy policies.\nOur focus is allowing your organization to confidently leverage the power of groundbreaking LLM technology while safeguarding sensitive data, enhancing operational efficiency, and adhering to ethical standards.\nClick here to schedule a demo of our GenAI security and enablement platform.\nClick here to sign up for our open beta.

So why do people think that they are going to enter this area as well?

They have started in the financial services sector with a payment solution, setting up Alipay in 2004.

And this is just one of many.\nBut that still doesn’t explain why the same should happen in the Euro-American territory. There is one obvious answer, though: Wealth management is a highly attractive business.

These are very desirable numbers for everyone, and Big Tech firms have the advantage to break into this market.\nThey have plenty of consumers and they already know a lot about them. They focus on user experience and flexibly change their offers, if necessary. Customers trust them already, making them more open to use their other services and products, which in turn makes it easier for these companies to expand. Big Techs have an enormous amount of data based on user behavior, and they also have the technology to utilize it. In other words, they have: agility, customer knowledge, brand loyalty, data, distribution capabilities, capital and technology. What else would they need? Nothing.\nIt doesn’t come as a big surprise that the main focus is on the millennials, who are a tech-savvy generation. They want as easy, cheap and quick financial processes as possible. A Capgemini Study shows that half of them are truly open to use and invest via a platform by a Big Tech.\nAll in all, most of the experts have agreed about the fact that big tech companies are going to join the wealth management market. So, the big question is not “if” anymore, but “when” and “how”. Based on experience, it is most likely that they will start a joint venture with financial players in the next years. And even though these Big Tech companies are facing new challenges, established wealth management players will have even more to do: they must create new and appealing services to keep their existing clients and attract new ones.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "So here many tips are generally talked about which could help you so that you can order a excellent software program just for your LAPTOP.

Tencent, the gaming and social media behemoth, has amassed more than 1 billion users on its popular messaging app WeChat, which connects with a wide range of services offered by Tencent and partners. But ByteDance is catching up as its short-video platform Douyin, the domestic version of TikTok, has attracted more than 600 million daily active users.\nThe latest faceoff took place in early February when ByteDance sued Tencent in a Beijing court alleging that Tencent violated antitrust laws by blocking access to content from Douyin on WeChat and its QQ instant messaging app. ByteDance sought a modest 90 million yuan ($14 million) in compensation. Tencent responded by saying ByteDance’s accusation was “malicious framing” and pledged to countersue.\nThe lawsuit extended a running feud between the two companies dating back at least three years. The companies have sued each other hundreds of times in disputes over copyrights, infringement and unfair competition. This was the first suit that alleged antitrust violations. Analysts said the case might serve as an important example for antitrust enforcement in China’s tech sector as regulators shift to tighter control after years of laissez-faire policies.\nChinese leaders have been drumming up anti-monopoly legislation and regulations since last year, targeting big internet platforms that leverage their market dominance to curb rivals.\nIn Depth: China Fine-Tunes Anti-Monopoly Guidelines to Tackle Abusive Platforms\nDouyin’s latest legal attack also escalated the companies’ growing rivalry as each encroaches on the other’s turf. Before the legal action, Douyin won the sponsorship rights for this year’s Spring Festival Gala aired by state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) and pledged to give away 1.2 billion yuan in virtual red packets on its app during the event in a major campaign to lure new users.\nTencent initiated the red packet feature in 2015 in a partnership with the Spring Festival Gala. Since then, the annual event, the world’s most-watched TV show, has become an important promotional battlefield for China’s tech giants seeking a bigger share of online traffic during the Lunar New Year holiday. E-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding and search engine Baidu Inc. were also previous event partners.\nDouyin’s showcase on this year’s show highlighted the rise of short-video platforms in China’s internet landscape.\n“The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is the real industry weathercock, and short-video (platforms) are going to grab everyone’s business,” said a source from e-commerce upstart Pinduoduo, which lost the sponsorship bidding to Douyin.\nShort-video has become the second-most popular internet application after instant messaging, according to China Netcasting Services Association. Chinese net users devoted an average of 2 hours every day to watching short videos, data showed.\nAt the end of 2020, Chinese internet users spent an average of 27.3% of their online time on short videos, surpassing the 21% they spent on instant messaging, according to a survey by Aurora Mobile.\nTencent has sensed the market shift. WeChat last year launched a short-video feed within its super app in a direct attack on Douyin’s turf. The new feature garnered more than 200 million daily active users in three months.\nDouyin, in its part, launched a new social media feed similar to WeChat’s Moment function, which allows users to interact and share content with friends. Douyin made its push into social media under pressure from business obstacles thrown up by WeChat, according to Zhang Nan, CEO of Douyin’s Beijing operation.\nIn the name of antitrust\nBusiness clashes and legal wrangling between Tencent and ByteDance date at least to early 2018, when Tencent’s WeChat and QQ blocked links to short-video content from the ByteDance services Douyin, Xigua Video and news app Jinri Toutiao. That year, Douyin and Jinri Toutiao jumped into the list of top five most-downloaded apps among iPhone users, challenging WeChat’s dominance.\nFollowing Tencent’s move, Zhang Yiming, founder of ByteDance, and Ma Huateng, founder of Tencent, targeted each other in scathing posts on social media. Zhang in May 2018 claimed that Weishi, Tencent’s short-video platform, was a copycat of Douyin. The war had officially started.\nOne month later, Tencent terminated all partnerships with ByteDance’s units and sued the company for defamation. ByteDance countersued Tencent for blocking user access to its platforms.\nThe first round of legal fighting ended with reconciliation as both sides agreed to withdraw litigation, Caixin learned. But the two have since launched more attacks, and Tencent’s ban on links from ByteDance remains. Today, Tencent users have to jump through hoops to share Douyin videos, downloading them locally before uploading to their desired Tencent platform.\nOpinion: How Tencent and ByteDance Weaponized China’s Anti-Monopoly Rules\nThe dispute came to a head in February when Douyin sued Tencent in Beijing’s Intellectual Property Court, claiming Tencent was abusing its market dominance and contravening Article 17 of China’s Anti-Monopoly Law.\nThe last time a legal battle between tech companies was initiated on antitrust grounds was in 2010 when internet security firm Beijing Qihoo Technology Co. Ltd. brought Tencent to court on allegations of anti-competitive practices. But the Supreme People’s Court ruled against Qihoo’s claim, citing its inability to define Tencent’s dominant market status under the Anti-Monopoly Law. Since then, antitrust allegations have rarely been made in the tech sector.\n“Tech giants often cite antitrust to attack competitors, but when antitrust regulators make moves, they argue that the policies are too strict and choke business growth,” a former legal department employee at Tencent said.\nThe regulatory winds are changing. In February, China issued formal guidelines aimed at reining in anti-competitive behavior by internet platform operators, fleshing out existing regulatory powers. Meanwhile, the country is conducting a major overhaul of antitrust law in a bid to make the statute better fit the internet sector.\nBut the new guidelines fail to provide a powerful tool for regulators to more easily define tech giants’ dominant status. Legal experts said it has always been difficult to specify a particular market when trying to prove monopolistic behavior, especially in cases involving internet platforms, which use their power to force partners to work exclusively with them. In recent years, several high-profile antitrust investigations in China collapsed because regulators were unable to define the market in which such platforms operate.\nTurf wars in music and games\nBehind the intensifying legal tussles are the companies’ expanding forays into each other’s turf.\nMusic streaming is one of the most hotly contested business segments between Tencent and ByteDance, reflecting Tencent’s overwhelming control of music copyrights.\nTencent’s music unit controls rights to more than 20 million songs from more than 200 music companies worldwide, including exclusive rights from Universal Music Group, Sony Music and Warner Music Group in China. That means a large amount of content generated by users on ByteDance’s platforms may violate copyrights because they lack Tencent’s authorization.\nSince 2018, Tencent has filed 214 suits against ByteDance’s units, seeking more than 20 million yuan in compensation for music copyright violations.\nA ByteDance source said negotiations with Tencent Music for copyright authorization have always been tough because of the high prices Tencent demanded.\nBut the balance of power is changing with the growing influence of Douyin. A person close to the video site said music companies increasingly opt to offer special rights to Douyin when they discuss authorizations with Tencent Music.\n“If the song can’t be promoted on Douyin, it is unlikely to become a hit,” the person said. Tencent Music has found Douyin an increasingly important channel for distributing music, this person said.\nPeople with knowledge of the matter said Tencent Music and Douyin reached an undisclosed partnership in late 2019 under which Tencent Music agreed to drop all lawsuits against Douyin.\nBut Douyin has bigger ambitions. Since April 2020, Douyin has approached music companies seeking exclusive rights, although music companies remained cautious, several industry sources said.\nByteDance also moved to tap into Tencent’s most profitable business of online gaming after a series of legal battles initiated by Tencent targeting game-related video content on ByteDance’s platforms.\nSince mid-2018, Tencent has filed 23 suits against Xigua Video and Douyin and requested the removal of user-generated video content about Tencent games, such as League of Legends and Honor of Kings. In November 2020, a district court in Shenzhen, where Tencent is based, ordered Douyin to pay Tencent 550,000 yuan in compensation in one of the cases. Douyin said it would appeal.\nA former ByteDance employee said the company decided to develop its own games after being ordered to remove content related to Tencent’s games.\nByteDance has made investments in some 20 game developers, according to a company source. But the company faces fierce competition from Tencent, which races to offer higher prices to take partners away from ByteDance, the source said.\nThe heated competition reflects the companies’ efforts to beef up game-related advertising revenue. ByteDance’s revenue from game advertisements has surpassed Tencent’s since 2018. In 2020, ByteDance became China’s biggest advertising platform with revenue of 150 billion yuan, compared with less than 100 billion yuan generated by Tencent.\nMoving into each other’s territory\nIn the face of rising competition from ByteDance, Tencent has moved to tap its massive WeChat user base to develop its own short-video service. The new video segment on the WeChat app started trial operations in January 2020. By the end of the year, the section had 280 million daily active users who spent an average of 9.5 hours on the site each month, according to a research firm.\nCover Story: Why China Faces Handicaps in Antitrust War With Tech Titans\nWeChat founder Allen Zhang said in January that videos will be the king of social media for the next decade. And Tencent has used all of its channels to steer traffic to the new video section.\nAccording to the China Internet Network Information Center, 85.6% of China’s netizens, or 773 million, were short-video platform users as of March 2020, up from 125 million at the end of 2018. China’s short-video viewers spent an average of 34 hours watching videos in March 2020, up from 22 hours a year earlier, according to Quest Mobile.\nDouyin is also seeking to expand its business range through its video services. Douyin’s Zhang Nan said she hopes Douyin “could become the video encyclopedia for human civilization,” with “video search as the gateway to finding answers.”\nIn another move to challenge WeChat, ByteDance in 2019 launched Duoshan, a stand-alone video-messaging app, allowing users to record and send each other short videos that disappear after 72 hours. But Duoshan was quickly blocked by WeChat and QQ and became embroiled in a legal dispute as Tencent accused ByteDance of using avatars and nicknames of WeChat users in its products.\nByteDance is eagerly searching for new growth sources as Douyin nears its peak in user growth, analysts said. By developing social media functions, Douyin will transform from a content platform into a social media platform, allowing its business to be sustainable even as traffic growth slows, a business expert said.\nContact reporter Han Wei (email@example.com) and editor Bob Simison (firstname.lastname@example.org).\nDownload our app to receive breaking news alerts and read the news on the go.\nFollow the Chinese markets in real time with Caixin Global’s new stock database.\n- MOST POPULAR", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "XimonGame is an electronic game of memory skill.

The leak was attributed to a bug on a “single server that was misconfigured and then fixed immediately.” It certainly wasn’t a good day for Facebook as the code quickly spread around the Internet, much like what we saw when the HD DVD crack code spread like a wild fire.\nFacebook publicly stated that those who spread the code were violating the law, and asked people not distribute it further. Of course that alone wasn’t going to stop most people from spreading it around as much as possible, so they took matters into their own hands.\nThe blog mentioned above, “Facebook Secrets” was created solely for the purpose of distributing the Facebook code. And because it was hosted by Blogger (owned by Google), Google received a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) take-down notice from Facebook. Google contacted the author of the blog asking that they remove the content, or they’d be forced to remove the content themselves. The author ignored the notice, and of course then the blog post was removed (although the page has been cached by search engines like Google).\nWhile Google was just doing their job, it’s one of those situations where it doesn’t really even matter that the original post that contained the content is taken down. Just like the HD DVD crack, Facebook’s code has been spread around to so many sites that it will be nearly impossible for Facebook’s legal team to find them all, and send take-down notices. Now the author of the original Facebook Secrets blog has started another one, “Facebook Secrets Again” where he has posted the letters he received from the Blogger team.\nSounds to me like Facebook needs to spend some time making sure their servers aren’t misconfigured! I don’t know about you, but for me it’s hard to have sympathy for them right now. Afterall, they were the ones that leaked their own code!\nNote: Some sites are reporting that the entire site has been taken down which is not the case. Only the article containing the code was removed, and now the blog is filled with ads.\nSource: Marketing Pilgrim", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "3 things to learn from Facebook’s privacy problems\nFacebook users are a fickle bunch, often known to complain about even the smallest changes to the site.\nBut when Facebook introduced new personalization features this April many users went into full-out revolt.\nThe latest uproar around the site’s privacy has been slowly building for months culminating in the site’s “Instant Personalization” feature that allowed third-party sites to customize content based on your profile information. An innovative idea that had just one problem: the company forgot to tell users.\nThe Instant Personalization combined with some ill-timed press coverage and a tell-all book about the company created the perfect storm for user outrage that led some users to swear off the addictive service and spurred the government to consider legislating the company.\nDespite its missteps, Facebook is slowly emerging better than ever from one of the most high-profile and wide-reaching discussions around online privacy the web has ever seen, providing publishers with three lessons for dealing with a similar blunder:\nAcknowledge users quickly\nFacebook’s privacy dust-up caused the initial wave of anger, but what allowed the controversy to grow was the company’s ambivalence to the initial outcry. The first serious complaints began in late April after its f8 Conference and it took until May 26th for the company to react.\nIn that month of silence, trend pieces on how to delete a Facebook account began appearing on blogs and in newspapers and Google Trends shows there was a sharp increase in searches for “Facebook Privacy” as users clamored to know more.\nWhen the company finally announced the new privacy changes (E), however, the number of searches fell and the backlash was tamed.\nEarly adopters are not the Web\nLeading the charge among the outraged were the “Internet Famous”: those with a strong following online, but not much reach with the rest of the population. If you were judging only by popular bloggers, such as entrepreneur Jason Calicanis, podcaster Leo Laporte and Engadget founder Peter Rojas (all of whom publically deleted their account), it would seem as if the whole world was jumping off the Facebook bandwagon. Many users even pledged to quit en masse on May 31st in protest.\nHowever, the event flopped and Facebook’s user numbers remained unchanged. It turned out that users just wanted control of their data and communication from the company. Even with all of Facebook’s errors, users weren’t ready to abandon the service.\nKeep it simple\nAt SXSW, privacy and social media research Danah Boyd shed some light on the complicated privacy settings of Facebook and other social networks:\n“I started asking non-techy users about their privacy settings on Facebook. I ask them what they think their settings are and then ask them to look at their settings with me. I have yet to find someone whose belief matched up with their reality.”\nWhile Facebook gave users control, many didn’t even know it as the site’s privacy settings page were notoriously complicated. The company has since rolled out a more simplified privacy page though it’s too soon to tell the effect the new setting will have on privacy awareness.\nFacebook may have stumbled, but the lessons for online publishers are clear: when privacy is an issue, users value speedy and timely communication.

In Shadowgate you die a lot, the game relishes in killing you, and it's part of an era people call \"Nintendo Hard\" (I tend to think of as \"Nintendifficult.\") In short, Shadowgate's puzzles are devious, and creators Roelofs and Dave March have updated their game for the current generation.\nBased on the first graphic adventures, originally released for the Macintosh in 1987 and ported to the NES in 1989, the current remake was successfully funded as a Kickstarter project in November 2012 and features a gorgeous speed-painting aesthetic. The game is largely, nigh-uncompromisingly the same, playing from screen to screen as you explore and deal with the game's devious puzzles in an attempt to kill an evil wizard who has become a blight on the land. It has gone through a few changes, with three difficulty levels that make the puzzles easier or harder. They also dispense the hints, which are distributed by a skull you carry named Yorick, with a wry sense of humor.\nShadowgate's gameplay is similar in respect to other famous adventure titles (Secret of Monkey Island, King's Quest, etc.), but differs from many of those games in its first-person view. At the top of the screen are the game's commands, like look, open, close, hit, eat, and speak, which can be used with elements of the environment, Jair himself, or items from his inventory to solve the game's puzzles. Any command or object can be assigned a quick-key for ease of use, and double-clicking on an object can be used for basic tasks. Torches play a huge role in the game providing light for the rooms but they slowly go out over time, plunging the game into eventual darkness unless you've got a fair supply of them.\nThe most obvious overhaul to Shadowgate is the gorgeous visuals. The game now features cut-scenes built from digital paintings, like motion comics or animatics. Created from speed paintings, they have a rough beauty. The screen in the game itself resembles the art produced for tabletop gaming books and Magic: The Gathering cards. Like the cinematic cut-scenes, the screens sometimes feature light animated elements.\nWith the success of the Kickstarter, Roelofs and March are excited to bring back other properties they created and seem even more excited about the way they can achieve them. Roelofs and I discussed the game's TurboGrafx-16 follow-up, Beyond Shadowgate, which had started out in the same format as Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Uninvited, but was changed when the publisher decided to take it in a different direction. He sounded excited to see the title rebuilt in its original intended format and the anxiousl to see the same with their unfinished N64 game, Shadowgate Rising.\nThe game has a mode that simulates an 8-bit experience too, and you can switch off the new sweeping orchestral score in favor of the classic 8-bit soundtrack. As Easter Eggs, in addition to the 42 independent ways of dying in the game, there are ten special deaths that have to be found outside of the regular puzzles.\nShadowgate is targeting a Mac and PC release on Steam in the fall of this year with plans to expand to tablets (for which the interface seems especially suited) and Android soon after and will be available at a retail price of $19.99.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "nice concept, fun too but... camera viewfinder is way larger than the image that gets uploaded would be nice to know just whats going to get cropped from the image that gets uploaded or ability to resize the image, image turns out a bit blurry too, no camera options which might fix this. crashed first few times until i went out side and turned on GPS.\nGood Idea I love the idea so I'll give it 4 stars, but slow and laggy.

These insights can help you build a better website and increase sales.\nIn its simplest form, web analytics refers to collecting, reporting, and analyzing data about your website. It can help you understand how visitors use your site and what parts of the site are working best, which can then be applied to improve your user experience.\nIt can also reveal tidbits about your most valuable customers and help you predict what they might want. And it can give you the competitive edge your business needs to stay ahead.\nThe most crucial part of understanding your web analytics is ensuring you are tracking the right metrics in the right way. For example, if you are trying to optimize your landing page, you will need to measure page speed and bounce rate to determine which aspects of your site are most important. You may also want to check out the oh-so-small metrics, like your bounce rate for a single page and top converting pages, which can tell you how well each area performs.\nWeb analytics is a process of tracking, measuring, and analyzing data generated from websites. It enables businesses to improve customer experiences, increase sales, and enhance their prospects. The results are then reported to the management for analysis and decision-making purposes.\nWhile web analytics is essential for any business, it has its challenges. Some of these challenges include the inability to measure ROI accurately, the difficulty of generating specific ROI, and the possibility that some tactics borne out of analytics insights may have unintended consequences.\nHowever, by understanding how web analytics works and its underlying principles, you can leverage this information to your advantage. By avoiding mental shortcuts, picking metrics that align with your business goals, and communicating them in valuable ways, you can maximize the value of your web analytics investment.\nAs a result, you can use your analytics insights to make better decisions that help you achieve your objectives. For example, if your site’s traffic increases, you can optimize your marketing efforts to convert more visitors into customers.\nSimilarly, you can also use analytics insights to identify opportunities that can be seized for the benefit of your organization. For example, if you remember that there are a lot of backlinks to your site, you can reach out to those sites for collaboration. This will boost your domain authority and bring in more traffic.\nIn summary, web analytics is an effective way to help you grow your business. If you are a start-up, it is vital to understand how this type of information can benefit your business. This way, you can make wise decisions that will ensure your growth.\nThere are a lot of different metrics you can use to measure your website’s performance. They can be overwhelming, so choosing ones that align with your business goals and objectives is essential.\nChoosing metrics can help you understand your website’s visitors better so that you can make data-backed decisions about improving your site’s user experience and boosting your conversion rates. However, it’s important to note that focusing on one or two metrics won’t provide enough information to guide your decisions — you need to be able to collect and analyze data from all of your web pages.\nIn addition, it’s essential to know how to interpret your web analytics data correctly to use it to your advantage. For example, if half of your visitors aren’t clicking on any of the pages on your site, it could indicate that your website needs help with its design or content.\nIt can also track the success of your marketing efforts and optimize them so that you can reach your business goals. By analyzing data like the paths users take through your website, how long they stay on each page, and which actions they take, you can determine which pages are working and which aren’t.\nUnderstanding web analytics is essential for businesses of all sizes, from minor to enterprise, and can help you grow your online business. It can also help you optimize your investments and maximize your website’s potential, which will positively impact your bottom line. Using your website’s insights to drive growth has always been challenging. So if you’re looking to boost your organization’s performance, you’ll want to get started with this tool as soon as possible.\nGetting to the bottom of what is going on on your website can be daunting for the average business owner, but there are tools out there that can help you along the way. From identifying which pages are most popular to tracking which keywords drive the most traffic, web analytics can help you improve your bottom line by providing a clearer picture of what goes to visitors to your site.\nThe main goal of any web analysis is to get the data you need to make informed decisions about which content to include, where to target it, and how much to spend on advertising and promotion. Understanding the key metrics that matter to your organization is crucial to achieving your growth and profitability goals.\nBy examining your website’s traffic data and using the information to make informed decisions, you can help drive more sales, generate more leads, and increase customer satisfaction.

But what is considered a good business monitor? Today, we’re going to take a look at what makes a business monitor good, and what features you should be looking for to ensure you’re getting the best quality for your money. In general, there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a business monitor: size, resolution, connectivity, and ergonomics, as well as price. With the right monitor, you can ensure that you’re getting the most out of your workstation and that you’re able to perform at your best.\n1. What is the best size monitor for a business?\nThe majority of business would probably work best with a screen ranging between 24 and 35 inches, ideally. This range can comfortably cover the majority of daily tasks, offering a compact solution with enough screen size for writing, chatting, emailing, and working on small excel files. However, the monitor size eventually depends on the kind of job professionals will have to do every day. Graphic designers, video editors, programmers, and financial teams will on the other hand prefer working on larger solutions, over 40 inches.\n2. Which monitor is best for office work?\nPhilips Monitors offers a wide offer of monitors specifically designed to meet the needs of business and professionals, covering the latest news in connectivity (including USB-C technology and KVM switch to ease even the most complex set-ups), the best comfort and security. We’d start our selection of best office monitors with our personal experience: our office in Amsterdam. Have you ever asked yourself if we use our own products and which ones? You’re going to find out all our secrets.\nOur first choice is the Philips 346P1CRH, a feature-rich business monitor specifically designed to meet all needs. Featuring a curved WQHD 34” VA panel with DisplayHDR 400, this monitor delivers an outstanding visual performance in addition to offering a host of convenient connectivity features such as a built-in USB-C docking station and KVM switch, and a wide array of technologies and innovations to enhance user comfort and ensure the most productive, enjoyable workday possible. Check out the dedicated page for more information on the Philips 346P1CRH, click here.\nOther optimal solutions we like to use are the Philips 243S1 and Philips 329P1H, which answer very different needs. The 243S1 is an ideal monitor that provides robustness, comfort, and convenience in a small package. This 23.8″ IPS panel features FHD resolution, USB-C connectivity options, and built-in docking station with built-in RJ-45 ethernet for powerful data security, as well as an HDMI 1.4, a DP 1.2 and 4 USB-A to take care of every task with smooth and complete functionalities. The Philips 329P1H is, on the other hand, a 31.5” IPS panel that offers a built-in USB type-C docking station with power delivery, 4K UHD picture quality with high precision and clarity, and a webcam equipped with advanced sensors for Windows Hello™ facial recognition. This monitor is ideal for architects and graphic design professionals, finance operators, engineering firms and other organizations that require high-performance monitors for precise, accurate, color-critical work.\n- For more info on the Philips 243S1, please check out the product page here.\n- For the Philips 329P1H, on the other hand, please check out its product page here.\nFor those needing wider screens, the Philips 40B1U5601H and 45B1U6900CH are two highly competitive and complete models to check out. The Philips 40B1U5601H is a 40” IPS display that offers the easy connectivity of USB-C technology, the superb picture quality of UltraWide QHD resolution with DisplayHDR, the convenience of MultiClient Integrated KVM, and even an earphone hook, making them the ideal choice for dynamic professionals.

Is curved monitor good for office work?\nYes, curved monitor can be good options for professional use because they mimic the natural field of view, providing for a more comfortable visual experience and, consequently, boost your productivity. A curved monitor provides for less distortion in bigger looking images and improved depth perception – resulting in a more immersive experience, and more focus.\nBut let’s take a step back on curved monitors, to better find the right solution. There are three main kind of curvatures you can choose from: 1000R, 1500R, 1800R. These indicate the radius (R) of a monitor’s curvature in mm. The smaller the radius is, the more aggressive will be the curvature: a 1000R curved monitor is, then, particularly good for gaming. On the other hand, a more conservative curvature of 1500R or 1800R is better suited for professional use. The Philips 346P1CRH and 45B1U6900CH, for example, offer a comfortable 1500R curvature to help reducing eyestrain at work, while simultaneously displaying more windows and applications without distortion.\n- For more info on the Philips 346P1CRH, please check out the product page here.\n- For more info on the Philips 45B1U6900CH, please check out the product page here.\n4. Is a gaming monitor good for office work?\nIt mainly depends on the specific gaming monitor and on the type of work you need to do. Generally speaking, recent gaming monitors cover connectivity needs, including USB-C and HDMI ports, and offer a mesmerizing and comfortable viewing experience. However, there might be some other features not included. Often gaming monitors do not come with a built-in webcam, that might be crucial for those working remotely or need to video call clients, suppliers, and partners. Overall, it is important to check what other features are included in the specific monitor at hand, and which are the needs of our working life.\n5. What is the difference between a gaming monitor and a business monitor?\nGaming monitors and business monitors are two very different types of computer monitors: a gaming monitor is designed to provide the most immersive experience, to feel like part of the game. They typically have higher refresh rates than business monitors, as well as higher response times and resolution. Business monitors, on the other hand, are designed to provide a better viewing experience for office tasks based on spreadsheets, presentations, and word documents. They usually have lower refresh rates and response times, but still provide optimal viewing experience with presents and features to ease eyestrain during long working hours, along with some other ergonomic features.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "App blocks for themes\nIf your section is part of a JSON template, then you should support blocks of type\n@app. These blocks enable app developers to create blocks for merchants to add app content to their theme without having to directly edit theme code.

As a result of reading the article, I decided to share another resources that folks may not be aware of: The Visual Thesaurus.\nThe thesaurus was developed by a New York-based company called Thinkmap, Inc. which “develops and markets software that uses visualization to facilitate communication, learning, and discovery.” It’s basically a huge semantic network where you type in a word and it generates a web of associated items. Here’s an example using the word frolic, as suggested by Sean in his article:\nYou can keep on clicking until you reach a dead-end, but then you can start clicking backwards and find new semantic avenues to explore. It’s a fun way to learn about the interrelated nature of words, and a great way to simply take a walk through words.\nThe software also provides different settings so you can customise your exploration experience. And if you want to print out your current set of associations, you can do, making for fascinating visual records.\nThe thesaurus offers definitions and pronunciations, and you can also switch or add languages for a more international flavor! Here’s an example of having the French search option included; I typed in marcher (to walk) and the screen filled up with associations!\nAs with all things that are fundamentally visual in nature, the only way to really get a feel for the Visual Thesaurus is to experience it for yourself. The free version lets you have five “tries” before stopping. There is a 14-day free trial if you’re happy to hand over an email address and some details, but for only $20 you can have a one-year subscription to the full version, which I consider great value for money. You also have access to the online articles, blogs, and departments, such as the “Wordshop – Online Activities for your Classroom.” All in all, a marvellous resource.\nFor more details, go to The Visual Thesaurus and try it out.\n I continue to have a hard time with the pronunciation of “thesaurus,” despite regularly revisiting it.

The level of sophistication, innovation and integration that online communications and associated technology is capable of simply boggles the mind. Nowadays, virtually all home-based appliances and accoutrements can be managed from afar with smartphone technology and innovative apps. For example, home entertainment systems, air conditioning systems, home security systems, indoor/outdoor lighting and PCs are all hooked up to the World Wide Web in ways we never thought possible.\nThe innovations that have been brought about through startups are reminiscent of sci-fi movies such as Terminator 2: Judgment Day where John and Sarah Connor are protecting Earth from a global computer system known as Skynet. We are fast approaching such a time where virtually every electronic device will soon be hooked up to an online network – the Internet. The ramifications of this potentially mind-bending reality are stunning. Even while you’re reading this, there are people working on developing innovative concepts that will reshape the future in much the same way as mobile telecommunications changed the way people communicate with one another.\nHow Are New Entrants to the Tech Start-Up Arena Coping with Such Advanced Technology?\nThe kids of today are growing up in a different reality to the kids of the 1970s and 1980s. Nowadays, it is unheard of for kids not to be fully versed in operating iPads, iPhones, PCs, electronic gizmos and other high-tech devices. This is spawning a generation of tech developers who are seeking to create the next big thing. While the parents of this generation may be languishing behind in the Dark Ages, this new generation understands the 1s and 0s needed to develop new apps, software and products to support the Internet of Things. It was the birth of social media giants such as Facebook, Google +, Twitter, Instagram and others that gave momentum to impressionable young minds. Now, tech startups are taking shape and form at an unprecedented rate. Seemingly trivial concepts such as apps allowing for gluten-free food options are catching on like wildfire, with more social sharing applications gaining traction with users the world over.\nEverybody has ideas: not everybody has backbone to make them a reality\nDespite the torrent of ideas making their way to the desks of angel investors, there is something uniquely human that separates successful startups from tech ideas. Most everyone has a concept that they would like to see brought to market. For example, as somebody involved in the tech sector myself I have conjured up many concepts that I believe would be particularly useful, if only to a niche market. These include being able to use your thumb and index finger to choose a file from one computer and then drag it across your living room and place it on another computer without actually having to use storage devices to make the transfer.\nPerhaps another novel concept could be holographic videoconferencing calls where you get to see a likeness of the people you are talking to in real time. Better yet, computers may evolve to the point where all of our olfactory senses are evoked – much like you see at Universal Studios theme parks where thrill rides like The Simpsons which includes actual scent, visual and touch. Mark Zuckerberg is hard at work trying to bring his 3D Glasses concept – Oculus – to the mainstream. This will be a groundbreaking revolution in the way we perceive virtual reality. If we can confuse ourselves enough to believe that the virtual is real, then perhaps it is?\nLooking Back: Humankind is Truly Amazing and the Best is Yet to Come\nIt is amazing to see how much change has been brought about by startups in just 25 years. Before mobile technology was a reality, everyone was dependent on public payphones or landlines. Today, public telephones have been relegated to the annals of history. They are museum artefacts from a time that once was. In much the same way, the Internet has done away with major retailers like Blockbuster – a massive American video rental enterprise. Betamax and VHS gave way to DVD, but now everything is online. Even major retailers like Macy’s are shuttering thousands of stores as the popularity of e-commerce shopping through Amazon and other online shopping giants eradicate the need for all the expense of land-based operations.\nBelieve in Yourself and the Innovative Flair will Flow\nThe Internet is truly evolving at a rate that we cannot understand, and regulation is having to play catch up with a significant lag effect in place. This is true across the board, from the taxation levied on online purchases in different states (just recently US states started taxing online purchases) to the online gaming sector which largely operates in a gray area since in many cases, laws simply do not exist with the available technology. It is a belief in one self’s gut feeling and the product or service, that separates concepts from realities. To continue propelling this tech movement, people will need to embrace the necessary risks required to bring ideas to fruition. In many cases it requires sacrifice of time, effort and reward while these fabulous ideas are nurtured and eventually released to the world. The people who are capable of inspiring others to follow them, and the vision they hold are the ones who will shape the future for the better. That’s precisely what Mark Zuckerberg did when he co-founded Facebook while at Harvard University.\nImage credit: CC by Olin Gilbert", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "|-||30 days ago|\n|MIT License||MIT License|\nStars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub.

The realization came to me as I read a post on the event written by a CNN tech writer stating that the big event wasn’t any big deal. When there are so many Apple hardware products that are ready to upgrade, why didn’t any hardware at all get announced? Clearly new Wi-Fi servers are in the works, for example.\nThe answer is something CEO Steve Jobs has in spades: FOCUS. Apple plays the press like a violin. They know that only a few new things can get the full press treatment and, hey, why not split the product releases info multiple events to maximize the free press Apple gets? That free press is worth a fortune.\nWithin a few weeks there will be special events where things like faster routers, new iPhones and the other cool new Apple products will be released. They will also get the major press treatment they each deserve and not simply share the stage with Lion, iOS 5 and the iCloud.\nKeep in mind, the event that is going on is the Worldwide Developers Conference. Duh, read that software and platform infrastructure. Apple wants the important things they are doing in the platform area to be the focus of this event. The iPhone 5 will come out, not to fear. The pattern of having fewer products released in a batch makes perfect sense.\nThe focus on iCloud as a sync mechanism between Apple devices is really more the intent of Apple’s cloud innovation than merely a hard drive in the sky. As it is now, when I get an email there is a ding, dong, ding as my email@example.com account distributes the message on all my Internet devices. That may soon include Apple TV. The iCloud will extend that syncing feature even more.\nThe US$25 a year “ripped music recognition and catalogue” concept is designed to minimize server farm memory use on repetitive data. Why store 1,576,453 copies of a popular song on the servers when using a tiny amount of memory you could list the all iCloud customers who have a right to access that particular song and simply have one copy on the servers that everyone shares?\nThe benefit is that the quality of the song Apple has in its servers might well be better than the copy you ripped sometime ago. This makes sense for Apple and consumers alike. It was the music companies that feared they wouldn’t be compensated for pirated music found on users iTunes files. The $25 will, no doubt, be shared with them.\nAlso cool is the picture sharing feature through the cloud. I have been testing a Wi-Fi flash memory card that automatically downloads pictures from my Sony digital camera to my laptop. The new iPhoto feature will automatically sync those new pictures with my iPad and iPhone when they are in Wi-Fi range.\nAutomatically updating software in the background is also slick. I suppose Lion users will be able to configure their computer to automatically update itself. Some people don’t bother to update their software regularly and with the expectation of Mac specific malware to increase, having an ability to quickly patch a vulnerability on millions of Macs would go a long way in reducing threats to the platform.\nThe Lion new feature information is still mostly held in reserve, with only about 10 out of 250 new features released. Details about the new Lion will come out in a way that can be fully absorbed by the press and consumers alike. What surprised me was the new price of only $29. Compare that with Microsoft’s PC OS prices.\nWhile the history of Apple allowing its OS to run on non-Apple hardware is well known, I think Microsoft would roll up the sidewalks and sell off the office furniture if Apple were to release a 30-day trial version of Lion for use on any old PC. After that, PCs would have to junk their junk and buy a Mac.\nI think people, long abused by the buggy software Redmond throws out the door, would be blown away when allowed to compare their Windows experience with Mac OS X, even running on a junk PC. The technical issues are really not a problem; it is only an Apple policy that needs to be reconsidered. Apple could destroy Microsoft with such a trial version program.\nRemember, when dealing with Apple, they think differently.\nThat’s Greg’s Bite.\n(Greg Mills is currently a graphic and Faux Wall Artist in Kansas City.

Question sets can be sent to the patient (Patient Set) or physician (Quality Set) and can be linked to a diagnosis and/or a procedure. In this way, users can create intuitive outcomes in minutes. If linked to a procedure (Procedure Question Set), the user can determine at what time points before and after the procedure they would like the question set to be automatically sent. If linked to a particular diagnosis/medical condition (Individual Question Set), the user can determine the date range and frequency of the question set. Surveys can be scheduled ahead of time or sent to the patient instantly.\nWhen designing question sets, there are multiple answer choice formats and customizable survey branches to choose from. Surveys adjust based on a respondent’s answer. For example, if a post-operative patient is asked whether their wound is red and they answer “no”, they will be prompted with the next question. However, if they answer “yes”, they may be asked if they have any wound discharge and a temperature over 100°F.\nAn alert mechanism is also built into the DTX system. If the user would like an answer to a particular question to be triggered as an “alert,” they can indicate this when creating the question. The user can classify alerts as High, Medium, or Low, and can thus prioritize their response to these alerts.\nIf the patient selects the alerted response, an email notification detailing the alert and its corresponding priority level will immediately be sent to the provider along with an SMS notification. All alerts are sent to an Alert Dashboard located within the web portal; this dashboard acts as an audit log for the alerts and is color-coded to distinguish between priority levels. In the previous example, the provider can set the response of “yes” to the question “Is there wound discharge” to be a high priority alerted response where the provider, extender, and/or their assistant receive a notification.\nIn the DTX web portal, individual patient responses can be viewed. The Dashboard section of the portal enables a deep dive of all stored data. Advanced analytics shows aggregate responses for selected patient data; the data is easily filterable and can be viewed by question set type, question set name, demographic measures, and other factors. Physician data can be merged with patient outcome data in real-time allowing for instant risk stratification.\nIn addition, DTX allows users to compare outcomes from similar disease processes among other registered user groups. Users can benchmark themselves by comparing their results to a “DTX Average,” an aggregate of results from all relevant user groups. All dashboard data can be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis and viewing of selected data at the patient level.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Mobile site scrolls past content straight to the products.

Can someone tell me if page anchors affect SEO at all? I have a client that has 9 page anchors on one landing page on their website - which means if you were to scroll through their website, the page is really really long! I always thought that by using page anchors instead of sending users through to a dedicated landing page, ranking for those keywords makes it harder because a search spider will read all the content on that landing page and not know how to rank for individual keywords? Am I wrong? The client in particular sells furniture, so on their landing page they have page anchors that jump the user down to \"tables\" or \"chairs\" or \"lighting\" for example. You can then click on one of the product images listed in that section of the page anchor and go through to an individual product page. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks!Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | Virginia-Girtz1\nCan I have my blog on http and the rest of the site on https?\nI have an ecommerce site that is on https. We have a Wordpress blog for blogging, but we also have our help section located on it. I used a plugin to switch the blog to https but now have a few problems. 1. My sitemap generator still shows the blog as http and Google gives me a warning for the redirect. 2. When trying to use the Moz page grader I was told that I was in a redirect loop. 3. The pages do not seem to be getting indexed. It is a blog so there is never any information exchanged that is private. Would I be ok with just switching it to http? Or would Google see that as two different sites even though they have the same domain?Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | EcommerceSite0\nSites in multiple countries using same content question\nHey Moz, I am looking to target international audiences. But I may have duplicate content. For example, I have article 123 on each domain listed below. Will each content rank separately (in US and UK and Canada) because of the domain? The idea is to rank well in several different countries. But should I never have an article duplicated? Should we start from ground up creating articles per country? Some articles may apply to both! I guess this whole duplicate content thing is quite confusing to me. I understand that I can submit to GWT and do geographic location and add rel=alternate tag but will that allow all of them to rank separately? www.example.com www.example.co.uk www.example.ca Please help and thanks so much!

My understanding was that in terms of SEO, Wordpress.com would still get the credit for these posts, and not the client, but I'm seeing conflicting information. All of the posts are set with permalinks on the client's site, such as blog.client-site.com/name-of-post, and when I run a Google site:search query, all of those individual posts appear in the Google search listings for the client's domain. Also, I've run a marketing.grader.com report, and these same results are seen. Looking at the source code on the page, however, I see this information which leads me to believe the content is being credited to, and fed in from, Wordpress.com ('client name' altered for privacy): href=\"http://client-name.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/could_you_survive_a_computer_disaster.jpeg\">class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2050\" title=\"Could_you_survive_a_computer_disaster\" src=\"http://client-name.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/could_you_survive_a_computer_disaster.jpeg?w=150&h=143\" I'm looking to provide a recommendation to the client on whether they are ok to continue moving forward with this current setup, or whether we should port the blog posts over to a subfolder on their primary domain www.client-site.com/blog and use Wordpress.org functionality, for proper SEO.

In: 2000 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo.

The success of an error concealment algorithm depends heavily on the detection of the corrupted regions. We propose a new error detection algorithm for discrete cosine transform based video coding. Our algorithm detects thus far undetectable erroneous regions with a very little increase in computational complexity. We show that erroneous blocks in the decoded frames can be detected by monitoring the variation of average energy from block to block. To avoid false detection due to the presence of strong edges we employ a very fast DCT coefficient based edge detection algorithm. Computer simulation shows that the quality of the recovered image is significantly improved in comparison to well-known methods.\n|Item Type:||Conference Paper|\n|Additional Information:||Copyright 1990 IEEE.

In this paper, the NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) model is used for describing all trajectory primitives and the desired trajectory. It is studied that the problem of the initial iterative control signal is extracted in ILC, which presents a method of extracting the initial iterative control signal based on the trajectory primitive optimal matching and combining algorithm. Firstly, the definition of the similarity index between the two different spacial trajectories is introduced. Secondly, an optimal matching and combining algorithm is designed under a certain similarity index, which is used to find two or more combined primitive sequences with space patterns similar to the desired trajectory. Thirdly, the initial iterative control signals of the desired trajectory are extracted by using the control information of the combined primitive sequences. Finally, the simulation is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.\n- S. Arimoto, S. Kawamura and F.

To arrange cells in the complex configuration needed to build a human organ, Bhatia turned to photolithography -- a method used to etch circuits on silicon microchips. The result is a pinhead-sized micro-liver (pictured right with Bhatia) that can be used to model hepatitis and other infections, as well as to test drugs. Bhatia has spun out a company called Hepregen to commercialise the invention. \"We want to make implantable livers that would replace the need for transplants,\" says the 46-year-old. \"It is one of the only human tissues that can regenerate large portions of itself.\"\nHer team also invented a urine-based paper test for cancers. The patient is first injected with synthetic nanoparticles that interact with tumour proteins. \"Those proteins cut off a fragment of the nanoparticle, which comes out in the urine,\" says Bhatia.

Motorola is dubbing the Droid 4 as the thinnest QWERTY packing 4G LTE compatible handset in the market right now.\nOther than the thinness and the support for 4G LTE network, the Droid 4 shares similar internals to the Droid 3. The handset packs in a 4-inch qHD (640×960) display, a 1.2Ghz dual-core OMAP processor with PowerVR SGX540 GPU, 1 GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. All the other usual features like Wi-Fi, HDMI out, GPS, Bluetooth and sensors are also present.\nAt the back of the Droid 4 is an 8MP camera aided by an LED flash, which is capable of recording videos in 1080p HD resolution. The 1.3MP front-facing camera is also capable of recording videos in 720p HD resolution.

We discovered that the alchemy of transforming an event into an immersive experience goes beyond logistical prowess and delves into the realm of creativity. It’s about transcending the traditional and envisioning events as canvases of opportunities, waiting to be painted with vibrant hues of imagination.\nHowever, in this age of digital transformation, creativity alone isn’t the panacea. The brushstrokes of an Experience Architect must be guided by the precision and possibilities offered by technology. As we transition from our exploration of creativity, it’s time to delve into the second Chronicle, where we uncover how technology is not just an enabler but a game-changer in the world of event planning.\nEmbarking on the journey from a traditional meeting planner to an Experience Architect involves more than a shift in mindset; it necessitates a mastery of the tools and technologies that can elevate events into immersive experiences…\nLet’s delve into the technological blueprint that can guide you through this transformation.\nArtificial Intelligence: Crafting Strategic Mastery\nArtificial Intelligence stands at the forefront of this evolution, offering a suite of capabilities that transcend the conventional boundaries of event planning.\n- Thematic Development and Content Strategy: AI, through Natural Language Processing and sentiment analysis, can analyze social media trends, forums, and blogs to discern popular themes and sentiments. This insight assists in curating content and themes that resonate deeply with attendees.\n- SWOT and Competitive Event Analysis: AI can methodically compare similar events, evaluating engagement metrics, attendee feedback, and more. This facilitates a thorough SWOT analysis, allowing Experience Architects to understand their position in the marketplace and strategically plan their unique offerings.\n- Pricing and Marketing Strategy: AI-driven algorithms can analyze past event data and market trends to optimize pricing strategies. Furthermore, AI can personalize marketing efforts, tailoring campaigns to specific demographics ensuring higher engagement.\n- Press Release Development and Implementation: AI can also enhance public relations endeavors by analyzing successful press releases and suggesting optimizations in tone, content, and timing for maximum impact.\nVirtual and Augmented Reality: Immersive Storytelling\nVirtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are powerful tools in crafting multidimensional narratives. VR can create immersive environments, transporting attendees to curated experiences, while AR can superimpose digital elements into the physical space, creating interactive and engaging settings.\nBlockchain: Ensuring Authenticity and Security\nBlockchain technology can play a pivotal role in attendee management by enhancing the security and authenticity of digital interactions during events, ensuring seamless ticketing, and credential verification.\nLive Streaming Technologies: Global Reach and Inclusivity\nLive streaming has evolved into a robust platform that fosters real-time interaction and broadens an event’s reach. It ensures remote participants actively contribute, enhancing inclusivity.\nActionable Steps to Mastery\n- Continuous Learning: Experience Architects must commit to staying abreast of technological advancements by actively participating in workshops, courses, and industry forums.\n- Strategic Partnerships: Collaborations with tech startups and innovators can lead to the development of bespoke solutions that enhance event experiences.\n- Holistic Integration: The integration of technology should be seamless, ensuring that it complements rather than overshadows the essence of the event.\n- Iterative Feedback and Refinement: Regularly seeking feedback from attendees and stakeholders allows for continuous refinement of the technological approach.\nIn conclusion, transforming from a traditional meeting planner to an Experience Architect requires a profound understanding and mastery of an array of technologies. Each tool, from AI to VR, serves as a brushstroke in the masterpiece that is a meticulously crafted event. By harnessing these technologies judiciously, Experience Architects can create symphonies of experiences that are not just memorable but also deeply resonant.\nThis exploration is just the beginning. In our subsequent chronicles, we’ll delve deeper into each facet of this technological blueprint, unraveling more layers that contribute to the making of an Experience Architect.

Industrial robots have come a long way since George Devol invented \"Unimate\" in 1961. After pitching his idea to Joseph Engelberger at a cocktail party, the two soon saw their new creation become the first mass-produced robotic arm to be used in factory automation. Today, this robot class is raising the bar of global manufacturing to new heights, striking a seamless mix of strength, speed, and precision. As a result, demand for industrial robots keeps growing at a robust 14% per year, setting the stage for 3.1 million industrial robots in operation globally by 2020.\nIn terms of sheer speed and precision, delta robots are some of the most impressive to watch. They're also some of the most useful, for the same reasons--you can see them doing pick-and-place tasks in factories of all kinds, far faster than humans can. The delta robots that we're familiar with are mostly designed as human-replacement devices, but as it turns out, scaling them down makes them even more impressive. In Robert Wood's Microrobotics Lab at Harvard, researcher Hayley McClintock has designed one of the tiniest delta robots ever. Called milliDelta, it may be small, but it's one of the fastest moving and most precise robots we've ever seen.\nDeveloping a robust, flexible, closed-loop walking algorithm for a humanoid robot is a challenging task due to the complex dynamics of the general biped walk. Common analytical approaches to biped walk use simplified models of the physical reality. Such approaches are partially successful as they lead to failures of the robot walk in terms of unavoidable falls. Instead of further refining the analytical models, in this work we investigate the use of human corrective demonstrations, as we realize that a human can visually detect when the robot may be falling. We contribute a two-phase biped walk learning approach, which we experiment on the Aldebaran NAO humanoid robot.\nThe creators of Mimus, a 1,200-kg (2646 lbs.) industrial robot that can sense and respond to human movement, believe it's possible. Part art-installation, part display of engineering ingenuity, Mimus was created from an ABB IRB 6700 robot and commissioned for the \"Fear and Love\" exhibit at The Design Museum with the goal of promoting companionship between humans and machines. The robot's creator notes that this particular machine is more like a \"she\" than an \"it.\" Most industrial robots are made to perform repetitive tasks, but Mimus has no pre-planned movements and is instead programmed to freely explore the space around her and to interact with visitors. The exhibit designers wanted to replicate the experience of seeing a large, exotic animal at a zoo.\nManufacturing sites worldwide use industrial robots to streamline and automate operations. Japan has led the world in industrial robot technology, and now is about to spur an even greater evolution by combining this technology with an open source deep learning framework developed in Japan. Deep learning enables industrial robots to make judgments in complex operational situations by learning from past examples. Moreover, the learning can be shared between robots to increase efficiency.

The White House feared the merger would lead to reduced U.S. R&D spending on 5G equipment… and deliver the Chinese a competitive edge.\nThe president considers 5G so important, he even considered nationalizing large swathes of the 5G infrastructure.\nThe No. 1 Trend on Jeff’s Radar\nTo find out about the wealth-building opportunities 5G will make possible, we reached out to tech investor Jeff Brown.\nJeff is Inner Circle founder Bill Bonner’s go-to technology expert. He heads up our flagship tech stock advisory, The Near Future Report. He’s also a former Silicon Valley insider and an angel investor in tech startups.\nJeff has been tracking the rollout of 5G networks closely. It was the No. 1 idea he presented at our roundtable event in South Beach, Miami earlier this year.\nAs he reveals below, the 5G “arms race” is underway right now… and it’s going to send profits soaring for the select group of companies making 5G a reality.\nQ&A With Jeff Brown\nChris Lowe: Let’s start with an important definition. What is 5G? And why is it so important?\nJeff Brown: When you connect to the internet on your computer, smartphone, or smart TV, a vast physical infrastructure makes that connection possible.\nFor instance, there’s a 500,000 mile-long network of fiber optic cables beneath the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It carries most of the world’s internet traffic. These transoceanic cables connect to vast land-based fiber optic networks, which in turn connect to consumers’ homes and businesses.\nWhen we are out and about, we use the wireless network infrastructure. Wherever possible, the cell phone towers connect to the land-based fiber optic networks in order to send and receive data as quickly as possible.\nOver the years, the network has evolved. Companies and governments built new infrastructure to support the next generation of wireless connectivity – such as new network towers, fiber optic cables, and personal electronics that can operate over these networks.\nCritically, each network generation is an improvement on the last.\nWe built out the 1G network in the 1980s. Compared to what’s possible today, it didn’t allow you to do much. You could only place voice calls – there was no layer for carrying other types of data. And you had to use one of those brick-sized cell phones Gordon Gekko yaps into in the movie Wall Street.\nThen, in the 1990s, we got 2G. Now, you could send and receive emails and text messages.\nThen in the early 2000s, 3G brought faster connection speeds. The quality wasn’t always the best. But for the first time, you could stream video and audio.\nThen we got the network we use today – 4G. It went live at the start of this decade. And it gave us connection speeds fast enough to reliably support video streaming and GPS location services. Without 4G networks, watching a high-quality video stream on Netflix would have been impossible.\nNow, we’re shifting to the fifth generation of wireless networks – 5G. It’s the biggest improvement of any wireless network upgrade to date… and it’s going to make some “sci-fi” technologies a reality.\nChris: How much better is 5G than what we’ve got today?\nJeff: 4G was a disappointment. The developers that built the network thought it would deliver average download speeds of 100 megabits per second (Mbps). But on average, we can download at speeds of only about 10 Mbps.\n[Megabits per second, or Mbps, measures internet connection and download speeds. To stream high-definition video from Netflix, you need download speeds of at least 5 Mbps.]\nAt 10 Mbps, the U.S. has some of the slowest internet speeds in the world. We’re in 50th place, behind Romania (at 27 Mbps) and Finland (at 17 Mbps). Even Dracula and the reindeers have internet speeds faster than most Americans.\nBut if we look at 5G, the peak speed jumps to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps). One gigabit is 1,000 megabits. So at peak speed, 5G will be 1,000 times faster than the average 4G connection we have today.\nEven if we just assume average 5G speeds would be 10% of their potential, we’re still looking at 1,000 Mbps. I know that’s a lot of math. Bottom line: Average 5G speeds will be 100 times faster than what we have today.\nChris: What does that mean for internet users?\nJeff: First, it means faster download speeds. You will be able to download a movie in seconds and play online virtual reality games on your smartphone.\nBut there’s another reason why this is so essential…\nHave you ever been on your smartphone and the call drops unexpectedly? Or maybe a website won’t load, no matter how many times you hit refresh.\nThis happens when the 4G wireless networks get congested. There are so many people trying to access data through the existing networks at once that the infrastructure gets packed up. It’s like a traffic jam at rush hour.\nAnd the problem will only get worse, because the amount of data we are using is skyrocketing.\nIn the third quarter of 2016, we sent roughly seven exabytes of data per month. An exabyte is 100,000 times all the printed material in the Library of Congress. All the words ever spoken by human beings can be contained in five exabytes. It’s hard to get your head around.\nBut a year later, we sent nearly 12 exabytes of data – a month. That’s an annual growth rate of about 70%. And data traffic is expected to double in the next 18 months.\nThere’s no way the already overloaded 4G infrastructure will be able to handle this level of data transmission. 5G will clear this congestion on our wireless networks.\nChris: What sorts of new applications will be made possible by 5G?\nJeff: A big one is self-driving cars. Google (Waymo) and Tesla already have self-driving cars on the road. When I lived in Silicon Valley, I saw these cars on the road every day.\nBut they still need some intervention from a human driver from time to time. And right now, that sort of defeats the purpose of self-driving cars.\n5G will change that…\nJust consider what the U.S. military can already do. It can fly drones halfway around the world using satellite technology. It communicates with these drones through super-fast satellite connections. These allow real-time network connection with next-to-no delay.\nThe same thing could happen with self-driving cars hooked up over a 5G network. A human operator could oversee a fleet of self-driving cars, taxis, or semis, all from behind a desk somewhere.\nThese cars can mostly drive themselves. But a human operator would be able to take remote control if the vehicle encounters a tricky situation such as entering or exiting a busy freeway or entering a packed parking lot.\nThis kind of remote control isn’t possible today on our 4G networks. The “latency” – or delay – from the command to the response is about 100 milliseconds (0.1 seconds).\nThat may not seem like much. But when it comes to something as serious as the remote control of a car or a truck, the connection has to be near instantaneous.\nWith 5G, latency drops to 1 millisecond (0.001 seconds). It’s virtually nonexistent. That makes the remote control of self-driving vehicles possible.\nChris: Can you give me some real-world examples?\nJeff: Sure. Starsky Robotics is building a fleet of self-driving semi-trucks. It’s currently testing them in Florida. These trucks are able to drive themselves on a familiar setting, such as a freeway.\nBut a human operator will still be able to take over to manually back a truck into a loading dock or to help it exit a freeway.\nChris: Are there other examples of new tech that you’re excited about that will go mainstream once we get 5G networks up and running?\nJeff: With 5G data transfer speeds, hologram projectors, remote robotic surgery, and virtual reality will also be possible.\nYou’ll be able to “sit in” on a meeting by way of a holographic projection, even if you’re thousands of miles away.\nA surgeon in New York will be able to operate on a patient in Sierra Leone, Africa with a robotic arm over a 5G connection.\nAnd augmented and virtual reality visors – headsets that display information and data on the lenses – will give you real-time data on objects you’re looking at. So let’s say you glance at a restaurant as you pass by it on the street. You could choose to pull up more data on your visor, such as the menu or the opening hours.\nThe applications are endless. 5G is a game changer because of all the technological innovations it will give birth to. 5G will be responsible for $12 trillion of new goods and services by 2035. That’s about 60% of America’s total GDP in 2017.\nChris: Washington believes the 5G buildout is a matter of national security. Why?\nJeff: It’s not only a matter of national security, it’s a matter of economic growth. Countries that lead the way in deploying these networks will have a competitive economic advantage over other countries.\nIn the U.S. alone, roughly three million jobs and $500 billion in GDP growth will be created from this massive trend. Technology companies in the countries where these networks are first built out will be the first to develop the hardware and software enabling these 5G wireless services.\nThen, as those companies sell their technology, services, and 5G expertise around the world, the economic benefit will continue to attribute to those leading countries.\nOver the last few years, Chinese wireless technology companies Huawei and ZTE were found to have copied foreign technology to build the foundation of their products, which are sold around the world.\nFor context, Huawei supplies the infrastructure and support for more than half of the 537 4G networks around the world. Huawei was also found to have been using its technology to spy on U.S. network traffic. This led to both Huawei and ZTE being banned from the U.S. market, and several other western markets, over the same concerns.\nThe U.S. government sees it as an imperative for economic benefit that U.S. wireless networks are built out quickly and built of U.S. and European technology to ensure that the country’s networks are less likely to fall victim to foreign espionage.\nChris: What’s the U.S. doing about this?\nJeff: In March, the Trump administration blocked Broadcom, a Singapore-based technology company, from buying rival U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm.\nSingapore, while its own country, is heavily controlled by Chinese Singaporeans. The concern was that Broadcom would force Qualcomm to cut back on its research and development into the 5G network. This would let Chinese company Huawei fill the void.\nIt’s why the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) – a Deep State agency that oversees foreign investments in American companies – recommended blocking the merger.\nAnd in April, Washington banned the sale of American semiconductors to Chinese smartphone maker ZTE. It wants to launch a 5G-compatible smartphone by late this year or early next year. By banning ZTE from using U.S.-made microchips, the U.S. feds hope to slow them down.\nWe’ve even seen leaked documents out of the White House that suggested the Trump administration has considered nationalizing the 5G network. In other words, seizing control of these networks from AT&T, Verizon, and other service providers, and putting them in the hands of the government.\nChris: Would the U.S. government go that far?\nJeff: My hunch is this was a warning… a way to light a fire under the U.S. companies involved in the 5G buildout. The feds were saying, “Get out there and build these 5G networks quickly. Or we’ll do it for you.”\nThis was a very smart move by the current administration. And it worked. Verizon and AT&T – along with T-Mobile and Sprint, which are in the process of merging – are already building out these 5G networks.\nThe hope is to have the U.S. regain leadership in wireless network deployments, which will stimulate even stronger leadership in wireless network technology.\nIf the U.S. fails, the government fears America would be dependent on Chinese technology to make use of 5G. That gives China an enormous amount of leverage over the U.S.\nVerizon is building out its 5G network in Sacramento, California. It says it will have 5G infrastructure built out in five or six other American cities before the end of the year.\nAT&T is building out its 5G network in Waco, Texas. It also has a long list of cities it aims to have a presence in by the end of the year. One of them will likely be Atlanta.\nAnd T-Mobile – the third-largest mobile communications provider in the U.S. – says it will be launching in 30 cities before 2018 is done.\nThe 5G infrastructure boom isn’t some distant event. It’s happening right now.\nChris: What’s the profit angle here?\nJeff: The 5G buildout is one of the tech trends I’m most excited about. Let me explain…\nThese buildouts happen in predictable phases. First, the physical infrastructure is put up. In this case, we’re talking about cell towers. For 4G, it took about 200,000 cell towers to build out a nationwide network.\nA 5G network buildout will require around 1,000,000 cell towers – that’s a 5x increase in network towers. There will be a 5G tower on nearly every street corner. Most will be disguised as light poles.\nNext, companies produce new digital devices that run on the new network. For 4G, that meant smartphones.\nFor 5G, we’ll see a complete replacement of all existing smartphones. And we’ll see 5G wireless devices in cars, trucks, semi-trailers, trains, as well as a completely new generation of wireless broadband devices. This will be the first-time wireless network operators will be able to offer high-speed broadband services to consumers that are as fast as what they are receiving from their local CATV providers.\nFinally, companies and developers make applications that can be used on top of these networks. For 4G, these included Uber and Netflix.\nIn the world of 5G, we’ll be experiencing an explosion of new applications around augmented reality, virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, holographic telepresence, and so much more.\nRight now, we’re still in the first phase – the buildout of the physical infrastructure.\nSpending on the 4G wireless infrastructure hit about $200 billion a year at its peak.\nThe best bet right now is to look at the companies that will handle the physical infrastructure. American Towers is a good example…\nThe company puts up cell towers. It was instrumental in the 4G buildout that started in 2011. And it’s also going to be heavily involved in erecting and maintaining the towers used in the 5G buildout.\nAs this story unfolds, look to companies responsible for producing the components that go into 5G-compatible smartphones, then to companies building applications like virtual reality and self-driving vehicles on top of the 5G networks.\nFor now, physical infrastructure is the best option. Betting on companies that were instrumental to the 4G buildout, such as American Towers, is an easy way to gain exposure.\nWhat to Do\nChris here – As Jeff said, there’s a lot riding on the 5G wireless buildout.\nThis isn’t a prediction. It’s a trend already in motion – the best kind for investors.\nAmerican Towers (AMT) climbed 180% from 2011, when the 4G buildout kicked off, to today.\nIf Jeff’s investment case is correct, it will continue to profit as 5G transforms America’s wireless networks.\nUntil next week.\nEditor, The Near Future Report\nOfficial Wealth Creation Expert to Townhall Media\nP.S.

The project proposes a new sensing technology from the hardware and up to the cognitive perception and control levels, based on networks of embedded proximity and tactile sensors on the robot body, providing a unified proxy-tactile perception of the environment, required to control the robot actions and interactions, safely and autonomously. Within the project, the same technologies are also applied to wearable devices (like exoskeletons) to provide the user with better spatial awareness and to enforce safety in critical human-robot interactive tasks.\nSestosenso is motivated by the growing industrial need to integrate production line operators with robots, equipment, and site-specific factory information according to the principles of Industry 4.0 (interconnected automation) and the forthcoming Industry 5.0 (humanization and re-use of resources). This leads to the need for robot systems that could operate and interact safely with a limited need of out-of-the-robot infrastructure, and possibly reducing robot setup times and costs thus increasing the flexibility of the shopfloor configuration. Also, Sestosenso is motivated by the need of adopting robots for medium-small production/service facilities, as well as for domestic applications, with limited possibility of infrastructure investments, and finally by the need of developing robot applications in poorly structured and rapidly changing environments or outdoor. To this aim, the goal of Sestosenso is to develop self- standing robot systems with high cognitive skills with the capability to execute operations involving objects and/or humans in unstructured and dynamic environments without the need of specific external infrastructures.\nSestosenso is grounded on the idea of integrating, over the robot body, networks of discrete miniaturized proximity sensors together with tactile sensors. This solution leads to ProxySKIN, a skin-like sensory system providing a complete and seamless proxy-tactile perception of the robot surroundings where proximity and tactile information can be intended as a new extended sensing mode (skin-vision).\nThis idea opens new challenges for the development of robots with high cognitive capabilities and motivates:\n- the study of perception and control methods for autonomous and human driven robot operations\n- the implementation of new types of robot tasks exploiting the joint proxy-tactile feedback\n- the development of techniques to enforce the safety in human-robot interaction (HRI)\n- the development of techniques for self-localization of the robot and models for robot-centric environment representation\n- the development of innovative manufacturing solutions for the construction of large area distributed sensors enabling the large scale implementation of ProxySKIN sensors.\nThe goal of Sestosenso is to develop and demonstrate (by means of 3 industrially relevant Use Cases) the capabilities of self-standing robot systems using proxy-tactile feedback provided by ProxySKIN sensors3. In a top-down view, the robots demonstrate the possibility:\n- to work safely and in close cooperation with humans to perform assembly tasks in a dynamic and narrow environment (Use Case 1)\n- to work outdoor in presence of unmodelled and delicate obstacles (plants) in cooperation with a human wearing a sensorized exoskeleton to enhance human capabilities and HRI safety (Use Case 3)\n- to exploit human gesture/touch guided teaching for learning the handling of large heavy and bulky objects, in single or dual-arm configurations, using whole-arm-manipulation (WAM) modes thus fully exploiting the robot lifting capabilities (Use Case 2)\nThen, robots are expected in general:\n- to adapt their behaviour in presence of changes in the nearby space\n- to properly react to and control the contact forces acting all over the robot body\n- to recognize human gestures and touch to engage safe human robot interaction.\n- to implement cost effective and versatile design methods and fabrication processes for conformable and possibly stretchable multimodal proxy-tactile large area sensors\n- to develop sensors which could be integrated on different types of robots and with different shapes\n- to explore new large area sensor concepts in order to target cheaper and more reliable components\nSestosenso addresses the development of technologies devised for industrial and service applications and targets the development of human-centred technologies. The outcomes of the project follow the expected pathway on innovation in AI, data and robotics, and targets the development of robot technologies appealing for real industrial applications. The project aims at serving the needs of several types of European industries, including manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, but potentially addressing many others. Sestosenso creates a specific robot technology portable over different application domains and multiple robot and exoskeletons platforms, capable of high cognitive skills to engage safe interaction with common users. This approach enables a wider introduction of collaborative robots in large, medium and small production companies with the potential of creating new production systems bridging to employment, inclusion and workers wellbeing.\nDuring the development of hardware and software solutions, it is expected that technologic achievements attract the attention of scientists, technologists, and practitioners and foster the formation of young talents. Specific scientific impact is expected in the domains of advanced skin vision, hybrid printed and standard electronics on potentially curved surfaces, wireless real-time networks and distributed optical tactile transducers", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "We had heard that iPad and iPhone users would be getting a taste of Minecraft — an official one, at that — but hadn’t gotten much else on the matter. “We’re doing like the iPad/iPhone Apple port of Minecraft, but another developer is doing it,” Mojang’s Markus Persson explained to PC Gamer.\n“We’ve barely started.

This can cause issues if you end up making a module require a module that requires itself and can be a very easy to do in passing but not very easy to debug.\nI would like to request that in this instance that an error be thrown when the second module attempts to require the first as it’s only going to yield indefinitely otherwise. This would make debugging much easier.\nYou can reproduce this behavior with two module scripts and one script.\nYes, that’s a solution to it. The problem is that if you do this without realizing it can be very confusing. If it is going to cause the thread to yield and never finish running then it seems like a good idea to throw a warning or error.\nI’ve had this problem for a project of mine.\nI have a moduleloader module and a lot of child modules.\nSome of the child modules require each other, which is tricky.\nThe trick is to load the “linear dependant” modules first.\nIf module A doesn’t need anything, B needs A and C needs B, load (A,B,)C first.\nFor the cyclic modules, I just use something like:\n-- Data module\n-- load = require(script.Parent) -- moduleloader\nNetwork = load(\"Network\")\n-- Network module\n-- load = require(script.Parent) -- moduleloader\nlocal Data = load(\"Network\")\nOf course you could just in your code use load(“Network”):Send() instead of Network:Send().\nIt’s less efficient and uglier, but it probably works in lots of cases you don’t auto-run stuff immediatly.\nAn advantage of having a ModuleLoader is the fact you can monitor when a module gets loaded. (And more importantly, if it ever finishes loading. Easy to debug with print(debug.traceback()) too)\nYeah, this bug is around for a long time already. In default Lua you get an error. In roblox, however, you don’t get an error. Your script just get’s stuck. It doesn’t crash, it doesn’t error, you don’t even notice it…\nWhy not? If this ever happens, something is obviously, inarguably wrong, and so it should be reported as clearly as possible at the source. Bear in mind that crashing the threads involved won’t change anything else, because those threads are deadlocked anyway!\nWait, why is this an issue? Logically speaking, this makes a lot of sense. If two modules require each other, you’d get stuck in an infinite loop. It makes sense to throw an error (or otherwise hit a stackoverflow error).\nRequiring a module on ROBLOX isn’t the same as inclusions in compiled languages. When you require a module, it actually executes the code of the module (unless previously required before). Therefore, you have an infinite loop of the modules requiring each other since neither ever completes its execution fully.\nActually, this is what I assumed would happen. However, it’s not. If you call require on a module that has already been required but hasn’t returned anything yet (because it’s requiring the other module for example) then the second require will yield until the first require returns. This is where the issue lies, the first can never return and this the thread just reaches a dead end, rather than causing a stack overflow. It’s more like waiting for an event that is certain to never happen.\nIt doesn’t error and that’s wrong as this makes debugging extremely hard. If you have a codebase of a huge project in a compiled language I think it’s easy to make such mistake. I’m pretty sure compilers will throw an error. This is how it works in Lua 5.1. (cat is a command to show the contents of a file)\nBad einstienK. This thread’s existence is proof enough that it’s not “might”. It will be handy. Under no circumstance is not throwing an error for circular requiring helpful – it only makes it harder to debug. Throwing an error for circular requiring is better behavior in every case and should be the default.\nIf we decided which features were useful entirely based on that, we wouldn’t have seen: scrolling frames, GUI buttons, VIP servers, private servers, pathfinding, etc. Bad einsteinK.\nThat’s the entire reason human-readable errors exist. In the place of nothing happening / “something went wrong!” (yeah I figured), you have a helpful error that tells you why your code isn’t working which can save you hours of debugging time and adding print statements every other line. This certainly applies to circular requiring.\nCreatePlaceAsync – what people were doing prior to the introduction of both of those features.\nI want to bring this back up again. When you are coding complex systems and making rapid changes, especially when working with multiple people across several features in a game, sometimes you accidentally introduce a circular require. It would be useful if a warning could be put in output that signals the user of this deadlock, so that they are immediately aware of what is going on and can start debugging / working around for that particular issue. Not having any kind of message or warning leads to additional effort needed to figure out where/when exactly a circular require has taken place.\nKind of weird that this is an unpopular/controversial thread, but this is one of the hardest bugs to debug, namely because\nIt is silent\nRandom systems fail unexpectedly, and it takes a while before you realize this is probably a circular dependency issue nested somewhere deep beyond the game’s entry points\nTo make it not silent, you have to spam an ungodly number of print statements in positions that probably aren’t actually where things are going wrong\nThese print statements are hard to clean up.\nPeople make custom require-like higher order functions keep track of which modules have returned or are still in the process of being required without return, and error manually. For example, roblox-ts does this, and before they added it, I even modded the roblox-ts runtime library myself so that I would receive errors when circular dependencies.\nNote that this is not saying that two modules should never require each other (though this is generally bad practice); rather, it is saying they should not require each other before they have returned, which causes this untraceable and painful-to-debug error.\nI think this is a really easy and incontrovertible fix. Modules break at runtime when they require each other before returning. They might as well error as well.

This update enables comprehensive management of mobile workers and scalability of the security infrastructure across multi-site deployments, and captures and archives file transfers. The new capabilities allow organizations to prevent inbound threats, minimize information leakage, and maintain corporate and regulatory compliance, while embracing the benefits of real-time communications.\nAccording to Osterman Research, two-thirds of enterprises will adopt enterprise instant messaging by the middle of 2007. EIM provides a unified approach to real-time communications – providing the efficiencies and productivity advantages that users require along with the manageability and security demanded by IT. EIM offers advantages such as federation, which is the unified use of public IM networks under one convenient login, adding voice and web conferencing capabilities.\n\"Instant messaging is part of an evolving unified communications platform that will include unified messaging, web, audio and video conferencing, and voice over IP calls,\" said Chris Christiansen, program vice president for IDC. \"FaceTime is well-positioned to address this trend with its own evolving comprehensive security and compliance solution design to ensure the safe and productive use of IP-based communications in the enterprise.\"\nWhile the functionality and role of EIM is evolving, security and compliance management of these applications is becoming paramount. EIM networks are at risk from the same inbound threats from worms, viruses, root kits, spyware and malware that have targeted public IM and email applications, particularly in a federated environment with public and other EIM networks. At the same time, organizations must protect against business risks of information leakage and maintain corporate and regulatory compliance across all communications applications. IMAuditor 8.0 provides a solution for the security and compliance challenges posed by EIM, while giving enterprises the flexibility to implement their own policies and empower employees with these real-time collaborative applications.\n\"Large enterprises are evaluating enterprise IM to gain a competitive edge through the increased efficiency and productivity offered by IM and real-time communications,\" said Kailash Ambwani, president and CEO of FaceTime Communications. \"Now, more than ever, securing IM must extend to secure and control all of the greynets that deliver VoIP, web conferencing and other real-time communications applications.\"", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Welcome to Verusway Solutions!\nEmpowering you and your business through better software\nVerusway Solutions is a full service custom software company.

While it is understandable to want to save money on web development services, there are many factors that need to be considered. This article will explore the potential disadvantages of hiring a cheap web development company, such as quality of work, lack of expertise, and inadequate customer service.\nCost savings is one of the major benefits businesses look for when hiring a web dev company. Companies who hire a cheap web development company may be able to reduce their overall expenditure, however, there are also some cons that need to be taken into account. Although saving money is an important factor in any business decision, it should not be the only factor when making this type of critical choice.\nHiring a cheap web development company can often lead to problems such as low-quality products and services, lack of support or expertise, and potential security issues. If you choose to go down this route then it’s important to ensure you take the time to research thoroughly and read reviews before selecting a provider. Many companies offer good quality services at lower rates but it’s essential that you assess them properly before signing on the dotted line.\nQuality of Work\nWhen it comes to web development, most business owners want to get the best possible quality of work for their websites. Unfortunately, hiring a cheap web development company can often lead to significant problems in terms of the quality of the product that is delivered. Not only will you not get the same level of expertise or attention to detail as you would from a more expensive service provider, but there is also an increased risk that your website may be prone to errors and slow loading times.\nThe lack of technical support and professionalism associated with cheaper web development services Minneapolis can mean that any issues encountered are unlikely to be resolved quickly or efficiently; this could result in lost revenue due to downtime or customers being put off using your site altogether.\nWhen considering hiring a cheap web development company, it is important to keep in mind potential security concerns. Security, after all, is paramount when it comes to website design and data-related projects.\nIn today’s world of digital threats, hackers are constantly looking for weaknesses in website designs and coding that can be exploited. It is therefore essential that any web development project includes the implementation of the appropriate security measures needed to protect customer data and other sensitive information. When working with a cheaper web developer, however, this may not always happen due to their lack of experience or knowledge concerning proper security protocols.\nAdditionally, some cheaper web developers may not have the necessary resources for regularly updating a site’s security features as technology rapidly changes over time.\nOne of the biggest con’s when it comes to hiring a cheap web development company is the lack of maintenance and support they provide. It’s crucial for any website or application that is built, to have regular updates and modifications in order to remain functional. Without these regular updates, the website may become vulnerable to security risks and functionality issues. Furthermore, if there are any bugs or errors within the code that need to be addressed, a reliable web development team should be able to rectify them quickly.\nAnother issue with hiring a cheap web development company is their lack of customer service. In most cases, they will not offer 24/7 support or assistance in case something goes wrong with your website or application – leaving you without help at times when you need it most.\nWhen looking to hire a web development company, it is important to consider the pros and cons of hiring a cheap option. While there may be certain advantages to this route, there are also potential risks that must be weighed. In conclusion, the benefits of hiring a cheap web dev company should be weighed against the potential risks in order to determine whether or not it is right for your business.\nCost-effectiveness is often cited as one of the primary benefits associated with selecting a cheaper web dev company. Lower rates can provide more bang for your buck, allowing you to receive quality work at an affordable price point. Moreover, such companies may have more flexibility when it comes to customization since they do not have as many resources and personnel as larger firms do.\nOn the other hand, there are several drawbacks that should be taken into account when making this decision.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Microsoft recently announced that Rocket League is getting cross-network play for Xbox One and PC. That is huge news for anyone who loves to play online games. Essentially, this means that if you play on an Xbox One and your friends play on PC, you can now play in the same game together (it will also come with bragging rights for the winner).\nMicrosoft added that the company’s current generation console will be providing native support for cross-platform play between Xbox One, Windows 10, and other multiplayer networks. Rocket League is getting cross-network play for Xbox One and PC. That is huge news for anyone who loves to play online games. Essentially, this means that if you play on an Xbox One and your friends play on PC, you can now play in the same game together (it will also come with bragging rights for the winner). Microsoft also said that the company’s current generation console will be providing native support for cross-platform play between Xbox One, Windows 10, and other multiplayer networks.\nThe key there is Microsoft saying “other multiplayer networks.” Does this mean PlayStation? Will this end the “Platform Wars?” This could help both platforms because people will know they can play on the platform they prefer and still play with their friends online. Or, will this cause them to lose money because the strong competition of PlayStation vs. Xbox has driven sales for the past decade?\nTekken 7’s producer, Katsuhiro Harada, revealed to GameSpot that the idea of cross-platform gaming is something that they are pushing for. However, Harada did say that the biggest obstacle in cross-platform gaming isn’t the technology: it’s the security process. He was quoted (via a translator, producer Michael Murray): “Since Tekken has three platforms to do [cross-play] is much more difficult, because fighting games are peer-to-peer, which means you connect directly to your opponent. That means all the security protocols regarding PSN or Xbox Live, the user IDs and such, is quite difficult to match that- not technologically.”\nWe could have cross-platform gaming very soon. We just need to fix the security protocols. Well, if Rocket League is any indicator, we might be getting close to that, as well. According to Microsoft’s director of [email protected], Chris Charla, on Xbox Wire, “We’re enabling developers to support cross-network play… This means players on Xbox One and Windows 10 using Xbox Live will be with players on different online multiplayer networks- including console and PC networks. Of course, it’s up to game developers to support this feature… We’re thrilled to confirm that Psyonix’s Rocket League will be one of the first games to take advantage of this new capability by enabling cross-network play between Xbox One and PC players, with an open invitation for other networks to participate as well.”\nYet again, Microsoft is leaving the door wide open for “other networks” to participate in cross-network play with Xbox One. Chris Charla also said the phrase “on different online multiplayer networks-including console and PC networks.” Including console networks?\nPlayStation recently spoke on the subject of cross-platform gaming, as well. They explained, “PlayStation has been supporting cross-platform play between PC on several software titles starting with Final Fantasy 11 on PS2 and PC back in 2002. We would be happy to have the conversation with any publishers or developers who are interested in cross-platform play.”\nNow, my favorite game to play at any time is NBA 2K. NBA 2K has a great online mode to play with your friends on the same console network. I can only imagine what would happen to “The Park” (NBA 2K’s online network) if it was flooded with Xbox One players, PlayStation players, and PC players. This small but very precise quote could make most of the gaming community jump for joy! It could also mean over-crowded servers and a lot more lag when you’re trying to play. There’s an old saying about cracking eggs to make breakfast or something like that… I’m not a chef, but I do think the occasional set-backs would be more than worth it if my old roommate and I could play 2K even though he has a PS4 and I have an Xbox. Not to mention the bragging rights you could have if you beat your friend on his console.\nSo, here is what we know so far. Both Xbox and PlayStation seem to be open to the idea of cross-platform play. They both have the technology to produce cross-platform play. The game developers want cross-platform play. The only thing that is stopping us from having that by 2018 right now is policies and security issues for gaming online. Seemingly, as soon as they can figure out that problem, the developers can start working on producing cross-platform games, and then we should be able to play on both PS4 and Xbox One. Now there will probably be a lot of issues at first, but like I said earlier, you have to crack an egg to make breakfast… or something like that.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "If you were trapped beneath a pile of rubble, a large robotic cockroach might be the last thing you'd hope to see scrabbling toward you. However, two researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, seem to think that such a contraption could be the ideal way to reach survivors buried under debris.\nRobert Full, a professor at Berkeley, and one of his graduate students, Kaushik Jayaram, took inspiration from the remarkably squishable and resilient cockroach to develop a robot version with an exoskeleton that allows it be compressed to less than half its height in order to wriggle through confined spaces.\nIn a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Full and Jayaram show how a cockroach is able to squeeze its body into tight spaces and still keep moving, thanks to an exoskeleton made of soft materials. They conducted a series of experiments that involved compressing real cockroaches and observing the forces placed on them.\nThe researchers then built a device, which Full and Jayaram call a compressible robot with articulated mechanisms (CRAM), from several folding exoskeleton-like plates. They speculate that its malleability and strength could make it ideal for exploring collapsed buildings.\nIt’s a cool experiment that also points to a significant and newish trend in robotics. Many researchers and a few companies are becoming interested in soft or malleable robot designs for the various physical advantages they can offer.\nFirms including Soft Robotics and Empire Robotics already sell soft grippers designed to make it easier for robots to manipulate objects without requiring extreme precision.

Cost benefits from virtualizing the mobile core\nWhite paper prepared for Radware\nDownload white paper\nMuch progress has been made since the publication, in 2012, of the ETSI white paper presenting the vision for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The initial reaction to the proposed transition to a fully virtualized core and radio access network (RAN) with NFV and software-defined networking (SDN) was mixed. Virtualization promises cost savings, a more agile and flexible network infrastructure, and a faster rollout of new services. But it can also disrupt the way mobile operators run their networks, and many operators felt uncomfortable with the risk and uncertainty NFV and SDN bring. Similarly, many were skeptical about the short-term viability of SDN, which complements NFV on the path to virtualization.\nFast forward to today, NFV and SDN have become nearly universally accepted, with operators moving beyond the proof-of-concept (POC) stage to commercial rollouts. Operators see the transition to virtualized networks as necessary, but also complex. They are moving at different paces, following different paths and strategies.\nThe initial trials and rollouts have given us a better understanding of the challenges and benefits of moving to a virtualized mobile infrastructure. As solutions have become available, and operators have started or are planning to deploy them, we also have better insight into the cost savings possible with NFV and SDN.\nThe reasons to adopt NFV and SDN clearly go well beyond the short- to mid-term financial benefits. Virtualization is a game changer, and many of its advantages – in terms of functionality, agility, and performance, as well as cost – are fully accrued only in the long term, after an initial, possibly challenging, learning period.\nYet it is financial benefits within the initial years that help mobile operators justify investing in the transition to virtualized networks. In this paper, we look at the TCO advantages of virtualization within an eight-year framework of a specific core network element – the application delivery controller (ADC) – by comparing the capex and opex in a legacy infrastructure versus a virtualized one, plus the additional revenues a virtualized environment can generate.\nDownload white paper", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "There are over 200 shortcodes/blocks/elements in SaasLand.

This work paves the way to further collaborations on understanding how we accept virtual characters as our own representation in virtual environments.\nThis year, the ANR Entracte leaded by CNRS/LAAS received the best price for ANR Project in November 2016 in Paris (“Grand prix du Numérique des 10ans de l'ANR”, link).\nThe ANR Jeune Chercheur project Cinecitta, led by Marc Christie, has also been awarded one of the 10 “iconic” projects (projets emblématiques) for the 10 years of the ANR, and will be presented at the 10 years celebration of the ANR in December 2016.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "In an age where our digital footprints traverse borders and cyberspace knows no bounds, the importance of securing our online presence has never been more crucial. For users in Thailand, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) emerges as a powerful tool, offering a myriad of benefits that go beyond mere online privacy. Let’s explore seven compelling reasons why using a VPN to watch HBO Max in Thailand is a smart and strategic decision.\n1. Enhanced Online Security\nThailand, like any other country, is not immune to cyber threats. Hackers and malicious entities can exploit vulnerabilities in public Wi-Fi networks, putting your sensitive data at risk. A VPN encrypts your internet connection, creating a secure tunnel that shields your online activities from prying eyes. This encryption is particularly vital when using public Wi-Fi in cafes, airports, or hotels, ensuring that your personal information, such as passwords and financial details, remains confidential and secure.\n2. Bypassing Geo-Restrictions and Censorship\nOne of the primary advantages of using a VPN in Thailand is the ability to bypass geo-restrictions and censorship. Certain websites and online services may be restricted or censored by the Thai government. A VPN allows users to connect to servers in other countries, masking their IP address and granting access to content that might otherwise be unavailable. Whether it’s accessing international streaming services or uncensored news websites, a VPN provides the freedom to explore the digital landscape without limitations.\n3. Privacy and Anonymity\nPrivacy concerns have become increasingly prevalent in the digital age. In Thailand, where internet service providers (ISPs) are required to store user data for a certain period, privacy-conscious individuals turn to VPNs to maintain their anonymity. By masking your IP address, a VPN ensures that your online activities remain private. This is particularly valuable for users who want to protect their right to online privacy and keep their digital footprint away from the prying eyes of ISPs and potential surveillance.\n4. Secure Remote Access\nAs remote work and digital nomadism continue to rise in popularity, the need for secure remote access becomes paramount. A VPN allows users in Thailand to connect to their work networks securely, ensuring that sensitive business information remains confidential. Whether you’re accessing company files or communicating with colleagues, a VPN provides a secure connection, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to corporate networks.\n5. Safe Online Banking and Transactions\nThailand, like many countries, has witnessed an increase in online banking and e-commerce transactions. However, this surge in digital financial activities also attracts cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities. A VPN encrypts your internet connection, providing an extra layer of security when conducting online banking transactions or making purchases. This ensures that your financial information, such as credit card details and banking credentials, remains protected from potential threats.\n6. Avoiding Throttling and Bandwidth Limitations\nInternet service providers in Thailand may implement bandwidth limitations or throttle internet speeds for certain online activities. Streaming services, for example, might experience reduced speeds during peak hours. By using a VPN, you can bypass these limitations. When you connect to a VPN server, your internet traffic is encrypted, making it difficult for ISPs to monitor and selectively throttle specific activities. This allows for a smoother and more consistent internet experience, especially when streaming high-definition content or engaging in data-intensive activities.\n7. Accessing International Content Libraries\nWhether it’s streaming services, social media platforms, or news websites, content availability can vary from one region to another. With a VPN, users in Thailand can virtually relocate to a different country by connecting to servers located there. This allows access to content libraries and services that might be exclusive to certain regions. By expanding your virtual location, a VPN transforms your online experience, giving you the ability to explore and enjoy a broader range of digital content.\nIn conclusion, using a VPN in Thailand is not just about privacy; it’s a multifaceted tool that empowers users to navigate the digital landscape securely and with greater freedom. From enhancing online security and protecting sensitive data to bypassing geo-restrictions and censorship, the benefits of a VPN are invaluable in today’s interconnected world. Whether you’re a digital nomad, an avid traveler, or simply someone who values online privacy, incorporating a VPN into your digital toolkit is a wise decision. As Thailand continues to embrace the digital age, a VPN serves as a reliable companion, ensuring that users can explore the internet with confidence, security, and unrestricted access to the vast digital frontier.\nFrom Passion to Profession: Aged Care and Disability Support Potential Unleashed\nDiscovering Busan’s Dynamic Business Environment: An Enchanting Business Journey\nDiscover the Comfort of Organic Hemp: Top Picks for Baby Bedding, Play Mats, and Blankets\nVinyl Siding: Durable & Stylish Exterior Materials\nHow Technology Can Help Your Construction Business Thrive\nThe Diplomatic Legacy of Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan\nUnlocking the Potential: Maximizing Performance with Blogstineco Vacuums\nHow Often Is Cashing out small payments Done?\nBody Massage Techniques and Procedure\nHow to Apply a Tennis Elbow Massage to Ease Pain\nComparative Analysis of All-in-One Hotel Management Software\nDecoding Excellence: The 10 Best Italian Chefs of Our Time\nFrom Virtual Reality to Smart Stadiums: The Tech Trends Transforming Sports\nRevolutionise Your Business: Cash Flow and Profit Improvement Strategies\nElectrical Fixes 101: A Comprehensive Handbook for Handymen\nWhat are Important Elements That Influence Your Car Accident Claims?\nScarlxrd Net Worth 2023: Height, Age, Real Name, Career & More\nMarius Lucas Antonio Listhrop, who is better known by his stage name, Scarlxrd is a 27 years old British rapper....\nNBA Youngboy Net Worth: How Rich is the Rapper Actually?\nNBA YoungBoy is an American rapper from Baton Rouge.

Remittance techniques are actually restricted to card and also PayPal just. The firm utilized to provide Bitcoin and other alternatives, yet not any type of much more. Although our company possess some little concerns below, IPVanish presents its own plannings clearly as well as honestly.\nYou don’t shed the right to a refund if you have actually browsed through greater than x times, for example, or used much more than y GB of information. If you are actually miserable, request a reimbursement within the 1st seven days as well as you’ll get your loan back, no doubt inquired. IPVanish protects your personal privacy with security and also safe and secure process (Graphic credit scores: IPVanish) IPVanish safeguards your privacy with its own use well-founded, industry-standard AES-256 shield of encryption, as well as its support for the very secure methods, OpenVPN and IKEv2.The IPVanish apps go even more by providing you an unusual level of management over their OpenVPN create.\nAll of the DNS leakage exams we performed revealed that IPVanish really did not leakage some of our info (Image debt: ProxyRack) The Windows client uses a kill change, DNS as well as even IPv6 water leak defense to lower the odds that your true identity will definitely be actually subjected online, for instance if the VPN link declines.\nYou may at that point mostly leave the VPN to switch itself on as well as off as required, protecting your privacy at all opportunities. To confirm the service actually carries out protect your identity, our team looked for cracks at web sites consisting of IPleak, DNS water leak test as well as Perform I water leak. None of the exams revealed any issues, along with the applications shielding our actual IP deal with in all opportunities.\nOur company carry out certainly not tape some of your activity while hooked up to our applications to preserve your public right to privacy. Box Only Ip Vanish.” Our team such as to check the large cases on the face of an internet site with the fine print at the back, however in this scenario, the IPVanish Privacy Plan states similar point.” IPVanish is actually a zero-logs VPN specialist, which implies that our experts perform not always keep a document of any sort of hookup, web traffic, or task information in relation to our Providers” There were some issues increased in June 2018, when a record arised revealing that the zero-logging IPVanish possessed in 2016 reacted to a summons from the United States Division of Birthplace Safety through handing over information on a user’s activities, consisting of link and also interference times and potentially the use of certain protocols.\nBox Only Ip Vanish\nWhatever the tale right here, it’s more verification that VPN logging insurance claims can not constantly be depended on. The heading “no logging” exhibits on the website will not essentially be demonstrated in firm practice. Does that necessarily indicate you should stay clear of IPVanish, though? Our team would claim certainly not. The logs were actually surrendered under the previous administration.\nThis does not in any kind of technique assure your protection, yet our team still believe StackPath’s public promises have additional body weight than the web site advertising efforts of the majority of different VPNs, where sometimes you can’t even tell that possesses the business. Clients shouldn’t need to rely upon anyone’s zero-logging promises, obviously.\nPerhaps IPVanish – and also the rest of the business – will definitely perform the exact same. SpeedTest through Ookla is actually one of the solutions our company utilized to test IPVanish’s functionality (Photo credit score: Ookla) Examining the efficiency of a VPN takes opportunity and also job, so we utilized various examinations as well as procedures to view what IPVanish could do.\nWe were able to accessibility all hosting servers, as well as our relationship times were actually a qualified 6-8 few seconds. Box Only Ip Vanish. (Some VPNs might be a little faster, but other use up to two times as long.) Sound opportunities were actually within the anticipated array, and also our geolocation inspections suggested that all our examination servers remained in the expected places.\nThese got to a great 64-65Mbps on our 75Mbps examination line, merely around 5% down on our common non-VPN connection rates. Switching to United States and International velocities saw little change, along with the majority of sites supplying a very satisfactory 50-65Mbps. Unsurprisingly, the long-distance web servers showed the best variation, coming from Australia’s wonderfully ample 30Mbps, down to a couple of locations which are actually just about useless (India had a hard time to reach 5Mbps.) Still, even right here, very most web servers conducted quite possibly, and total IPVanish is actually quicker than the mass of the competitors.\nBox Only Ip Vanish\nExplore the web site and also you’ll at some point locate its Companies web page, yet that is actually confined to fairly unsafe websites like Sling TELEVISION, Spotify as well as YouTube. Does this mean IPVanish does not have a lot to flaunt regarding? Our iPlayer tests seemed to verify that, as none of the UK hosting servers acquired our team accessibility, a repeat of what our experts found during the course of our final evaluation.\nThat’s certainly not such a huge deal – everybody else carries out, also – yet our company like to examine, in any case, just to confirm there are actually not a problem. The unpleasant surprise was that in spite of the shortage of advertising and marketing, all IPVanish exam hosting servers provided us accessibility to United States Netflix, a far much better performance than you’ll find along with a lot of rivals – Box Only Ip Vanish.\nThere are no browser expansions, yet the support webpages have setup guides for Chrome and also Firefox, as properly as tutorials dealing with modems, Chromebooks, Linux as well as extra. The app download hyperlinks are actually easy to discover on the web site, as well as, comfortably, you don’t must log in to your IPVanish account to access them.\nIf you are actually not thinking about the main customers, IPVanish has hands-on setup tutorials for Microsoft window, Mac Computer, Android, iOS, Linux as well as others. These aren’t as many or thorough as our team have actually observed at ExpressVPN, but there is actually still lots of info here. The internet site possesses twelve tutorials only covering Windows, for example, with separate quick guides covering OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP and also IKeV2 create on Microsoft window 7, 8 as well as 10. If you are actually utilizing OpenVPN or even just about anything else OpenVPN-based, you’ll likewise enjoy IPVanish’ sensible identifying of its.OVPN configuration reports.\nIf you’ve made use of a VPN previously, IPVanish’s Windows client will certainly appear rather knowledgeable (Photo credit rating: IPVanish) If you have actually used many VPN clients, you’ll recognize they are actually mostly really similar. There’s a listing of locations, a Link/ Disconnect switch, a page of setups, and also generally absolutely nothing else whatsoever. Once more, IPVanish does things in a different way.\nBox Only Ip Vanish\nThe opening Quick Hook up panel is actually muddled, as an example, but there rate contacts, also. Touch Hook up and also a standing panel presents the method, time hooked up, hosting server title, as well as records submitted as well as downloaded and install, an amount of information you’ll hardly ever find elsewhere – Box Only Ip Vanish. The customer even displays a fine-looking real-time chart of your upload as well as download velocities.\nThis looks more like various other clients, but once again, IPVanish has actually incorporated extra components. A hunt box permits filtering the checklist through search phrase. You can easily arrange the checklist through country, tons or feedback opportunity. You have the ability to add hosting servers to a Favorites list along with a click on, and also these can be actually smartly displayed on top of the nation listing, instead of hiding them away on a different tag.\nPot the map over to the US, for example, and also rather than being challenged along with a mass of overlapping site pens, the map features only four. If you recognize you’re after an east coastline place, aim there and also additional places show up, along with varieties embodying exactly how lots of web servers they use, so for case our team could possibly observe there were actually 55 servers in New York, 67 in Washington as well as 57 in Los Angeles.\nYou may conveniently alter VPN procedures coming from within the environments of IPVanish’s Microsoft window client (Picture credit report: IPVanish) Even the Settings discussion supplies a lot more capability than our company expected – Box Only Ip Vanish. You can switch protocols in between IKEv2, SSTP, PPTP as well as L2TP, along with OpenVPN TCP as well as UDP. You manage to select an OpenVPN port (1194 or even 443).\nYou can easily specify which web server IPVanish uses when the client begins, mend the IPVanish OpenVPN vehicle driver if it is actually affected by another VPN, and see the OpenVPN logs within the user interface to fix concerns. The customer’s kill switch isn’t made it possible for through nonpayment, so our team switched it on and functioned a handful of tests.\nBox Only Ip Vanish\nIPVanish’s Android app very closely resembles its desktop computer counterparts (Photo credit report: IPVanish) The IPVanish Android application opens up along with a basic Quick Attach display screen which presents your present IP and site, notes an aim at country, area as well as server, as well as offers a Link switch to quickly acquire you online. The application chooses your closest hosting server through default, but you’re also capable to prepare your location nation, the urban area within that country, or decide on a particular server with a pair of taps.\nOur company are actually not sure whether there’s any person who really needs this, and probably it will lessen your battery lifestyle if you leave it open for a lengthy period of time, but there’s no question it looks much better than the typical plain country list. The application provides some genuinely valuable standing relevant information along with the fancy visuals: your new IP handle, server title, site, time linked, and more.\nThe area picker is actually fairly general. You are actually able to choose hosting servers by nation or even urban area, yet there are no ping times or even web server bunch bodies to help you choose, and also there’s no Favorites device or even Current Servers listing to accelerate reconnections. Instead, you are actually pushed to manually scroll to details web servers when you require them, a prospective difficulty on smart phones with tiny monitors.\nYou can easily choose to make OpenVPN UDP or even TCP relationships, maximizing for speed or even reliability. There’s a bigger choice of slots than you’ll find along with the Microsoft window client (443, 1194 and 8443.) A Shuffle attribute creates it harder for networks to discover and also block VPN hookups. A kill switch obstructs world wide web access if the link goes down.\nExpressVPN has one thing similar, however otherwise that’s a possibility you’ll rarely locate elsewhere. There are actually minor weak spots in some places. While lots of applications can immediately protect you whenever you hook up to an unprotected system, for circumstances, IPVanish shows an optional precaution and leaves you to choose what to carry out. That suffices to aid you remain safe, however, as well as overall the app functions effectively.\nBox Only Ip Vanish\nThere is actually a very clear screen of your IP address, site and VPN status, and also you may choose your aim at country, city as well as server just before linking to the VPN along with a tap. (As along with the Android app, the nonpayment country is always the US, any place you may be on earth.) When you are actually internet, there is actually identical eye-candy in the form of a scrolling real-time internet web traffic graph.\nIf you favor, you may also choose sites from an easier text listing. Like the Android application, this may be sorted by nation or even metropolitan area, but these fields are actually shown in separate columns which creates the checklist much less complicated to scan. Server load and ping times are actually presented, also, helping you to identify which is actually the most effective location for you.\nTap the star to the right of one or additional web servers and it’ll appear whenever you opt for the Favorites button, permitting you to steer clear of all the various other filtering system and also sorting difficulties totally. Box Only Ip Vanish. The Settings pane looks thin, a minimum of in the beginning. There’s no integrated kill button to secure your identity, and also you merely receive pair of considerable VPN tweaks: an auto-connect choice, as well as the capacity to change process in between the nonpayment IKEv2 and IPSEC.Check out that auto-connect feature, though, and you’ll find a stack of possibilities and controls (essentially, all the rewards our team would love to have actually observed in the Android app.) As well as a simple “hook up instantly” setup, you may possess IPVanish instantly transform on its own off when you are actually attached to counted on cell systems.\nYou can easily also create a checklist of domains which you ‘d such as IPVanish to automatically safeguard, therefore as an example you might possess the VPN pitch in whenever you visited Netflix’s web site. The IPVanish iphone application isn’t perfect, after that, but unlike many competitors, it’s not only a simple port of the pc or Android apps, either.\nIPVanish’s support internet site supplies you with a great bargain of details regarding your link (Picture debt: IPVanish) If the VPN isn’t functioning as it should, the IPVanish Assist Facility intentions to aim you in the ideal path. An Unit Status link alerts you of any big company-wide complications, help short articles are wisely coordinated right into key types (Configuration, Damage Control, Invoicing, additional) and you can look the web knowledgebase for details keywords.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "This blog post is everything about Oberlo Ad.

An SLA is a contract between service provider and consumer, and includes appropriate actions to be taken upon violation of the contractual obligations. However, implementing an SLA using existing IT infrastructure is difficult, requiring a lot of manual effort to translate an SLA into code, model it with the given programming language, and ensure the required monitoring support is available for efficient monitoring and tracking of the SLAs.\nIn this paper, we present a solution for modeling an SLA contract. It is designed to be configurable, reusable, extensible and inheritable, thus providing great flexibility to construct complex SLAs. We also introduce an algorithmic generation pattern to create the necessary artifacts to implement an SLA presented in this paper. The resulting artifacts automatically monitor a business process and evaluate whether the SLA is violated during runtime execution.

Before today, you were able to simply setup a channel and time of day/week to send very basic health tips out in Slack. Now, you can choose from 9 different categories of tips (shown below) along with the ability to actually preview all of the health tips before they come out. Several of these new categories even come with videos, and not just imagery/text.\nBelow is a snapshot of what it looks like after clicking 'browse wellness tips' - this is the ability to quickly rifle through all of our health 100+ health tips based on the category you're looking for. Some are video based, and some text and graphic.\nWe now sync with all of the major HRIS platforms. The sync runs once every 24-hours and enables you to sync in birthdays, start dates, work locations, and departments. This is helpful for celebrations, as well as survey campaigns (where you might want to survey specific geographies or company departments).\nGoogle Calendar sync for Employee Intros\nAnd next up we have the heaviest hitting feature yet... Google Calendar sync for employee introductions. To utilize this, just click the checkbox that says 'allow employees to integrate their Google Calendar to find time' on any new or existing employee introductions instance.\nLastly, below is a snapshot of two new buttons that will appear if you've enabled this option. Clicking 'manage integration' will allow employees to setup their calendar sync, and clicking 'find time' allows them to create a meeting in just one click after all the members of the introduced group have synced their calendar.\n- Birthday and work anniversary onboarding channels – use this option (shown below) to send a message to any new employees (asking for their birthday or start date) who join this channel (the default to date has been for CultureBot to send a message to any new hire, regardless of what channel they are in). This new option is helpful if you regularly add contractors or other personnel that you don't want to solicit birthdays or start dates for.\n- Moving around the position of water cooler and health tips – click the three dots next to any water cooler prompt or health tip to easily move it's position up or down.\n- Employee feedback default message - shown below, this allows you to pre-populate the employee feedback form that users pull up with the /give-feedback command (or when they receive the reminder to give feedback in a Slack channel). This is useful for teams looking to get more formal/specific sorts of feedback from their employees on a regular basis (or, for example, use as a HR violations form).\n- Send messages as a user - this feature is not recommended for every team. This option (if enabled) allows you to send a message as the main admin of CultureBot (instead of as the CultureBot app). This can be helpful if you're looking to provide a more personal touch to your birthday and work anniversary celebrations, or even to drum up more interest than you may be getting today with your water cooler conversation starter prompts.\nAnd that's a wrap for this time around! We'll be back again later this winter with another round of new features and improvements to your favorite HR and culture-building app... as always 👏", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases @AMAZON\n2012 Mac Mini\nRelated: backup, hard drive, Mac mini, Mac Pro, Macs, memory, Other World Computing, RAID, SSD, Thunderbolt, USB, weather events\nWith up to a 2.6 GHz quad-core CPU, the new MacMini is a winner for anyone who already has a screen and keyboard.\nThe MacMini can now be a hot little number!\n- Fast quad-core CPU up to 2.6 GHz (for only $899!).\n- Up to 16GB memory.\n- Up to two internal hard drives or SSDs (960GB X 2 SSD possible via OWC upgrade).\n- Four USB 3.0 ports. This is a critical improvement; it allows connecting high-speed peripherals, such as backup drives. USB 3.0 is especially valuable for hyper-fast SSD-based external drives, but also high capacity external hard drives.\n- One Thunderbolt port, handy for (for example) ultra high speed PCIe SSD support, such as the Mercury Helios, assuming it can be daisy-chained off a Thunderbolt display (unsure here).\n- Firewire 800 port — handy for compatibility.\n- SDXC card slot — easy download of digital camera image files.\n- Gigabit ethernet. Perfect for networking.\nThe MacMini is cool.\nAnd disappointing: what would happen if it had four memory slots to make 32GB possible, one short PCIe slot and two Thunderbolt ports and four USB ports and a slightly faster CPU? It would be killer. And so what if it were twice its diminutive size? It would not be quite as chic, but would still be very small, and it would be a Mac Pro alternative for some users. Apple always seems to truncate Mac products short of greatness.\nCould a MacMini tide you over until the next Mac Pro model?\nWaiting for a new Mac Pro sometime next year? A quad-core 2.66 GHz MacMini with 16GB memory from OWC will cost you about $1014. The memory won’t move forward, but if you install a fast 6G SSD, that handily solves the disk I/O speed issue, and it and any USB 3 backup drives can move forward into a Mac Pro, as can a display.\nTo be clear, 16GB memory is way too limiting for my uses, but for many users it will do the job. And so the above might make sense for those on the fence waiting and currently without a Mac Pro.\nOn the other hand, Apple certified refurbished 2.8 GHz quad-core Mac Pros are reasonably priced, so maybe it’s really only a solution if the budget has to be kept in check. We’re talking ~$950 more to get a Mac Pro vs Mac Mini (I’m counting the cost of 16GB for the Mac Pro in there).\nSo maybe the MacMini is really the best value for those looking for tiny. Or for a file server or music server, etc.\nMark W writes:\nI am currently running a Mac Mini server (the 2011 version with 16GB memory).\nI had several thoughts:\n- With the fast interfaces (i.e. USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt), I think there really an advantage to having ones drives external because of maintenance issues (i.e. one can replace/add/remove drives without having to do surgery on the system) without having to give up on the performance.\n- I would rather use hardware RAID than software RAID - seems more reliable to me. I currently use the CalDigit drives and have found them to be reliable.\n- The physical footprint of a Mac Mini and a RAID drive (such as the CalDigit VR2) is much smaller than a Mac Pro. Also the power consumption is lower (not a minor consideration as electricity is relatively expensive in the northeastern US).\n- I put all user files on the external HW RAID drives and use the second internal drive as a Time Machine backup of the primary system drive. This allows me to rebuild the primary drive relatively quickly should it fail.\n- I see the primary disadvantages being the limited memory capacity (16Gb) (as you mention) and potentially the inability to put higher performance video cards in the machine.\nThus, overall, I find the Mac Mini server to be very useful and well priced as a server. Reliability has been superb.\nDIGLLOYD: Regarding drive failures, the high quality power supply and cooling system of a Mac Pro are unbeatable (and quiet). Adding/replacing a drive is not “surgery” but very fast and straightforward (not so for an iMac though). External drives are unlikely to have the same quality power supply or cooling system as the Mac Pro, so I’m not going to agree that external is better comparing a MacMini to Mac Pro. Also, the added noise of external drives is not a win, and cables cost money and can have problems too, be crimped, go bad, etc.\nOn the flip side, power consumption of a MacMini indeed a lot lower (though the gap closes considerably if one uses an external RAID). And it’s a lot smaller. It makes the most sense so long as one uses the internal drives and perhaps one external; once there are 2/3/4 drives, this becomes a mess, and I’d say a Mac Pro starts to look a lot more favorable.\nRegarding reliability, I would expect the MacMini to be quite reliable, but it’s the hard drives that are the main concern in most systems.\nThe best choice comes down to what the machine will actually be used for; the Mac Pro wins hands down as a workstation that doubles as a server (far more expandable, far more top-end memory, PCIe cards, storage, etc), but is a very bulky box for, say, a home media server where one only needs less than 10TB storage. Given that a MacMini with 16GB is over $1000, a Mac Pro 2.8 GHz refurb for $2819 is not very far away and far more attractive if it is to be used as more than a headless server in a closet.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Modern technology plays a crucial role in today’s company globe.

The system is powered by IMEC’s 8-channel ultra low-power analog readout ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). The electronics, including ASIC, radio, and controller chips are integrated on a printed-circuit board that measures only 47mm by 27mm. The whole system is packaged in a small box with status LEDs, a switch button and interfaces for din32 cables. The packaged system consumes only 1.8mA, allowing over 3 days of autonomy with a 160 mAh Li-ion battery.\nThe EEG system can be connected to individual electrodes, standard EEG monitoring hats, or proprietary EEG headsets. The system records high quality EEG signals when connected to gel electrodes. Early tests with dry electrode are promising, although more research is required to achieve reliable measurement in non-controlled environments. The data is wirelessly transmitted in real-time to a receiver located up to 10m from the system. IMEC has also developed algorithms to interpret the brain signals, linking the brain activity to the degree of relaxation.\nThe EEG system can be used for remote monitoring of patients in their daily environment, resulting in more natural readings and greatly increasing the patient’s comfort. Applications that can be envisaged with this EEG system are, for example, comfortable ambulatory monitoring of epileptic patients, e-learning, and gaming.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "As the world waits for the launch of the new iPhone, can you guess the most requested feature? You may be surprised to know that it is not the fingerprint scanner or a better camera. According to a poll conducted by USA Today, the most requested feature in the new iPhone is improved battery life! The iPhone (or for that matter, any smartphone) guzzles power like a thirsty horse drinking water out of a river. It’s not just Smartphones, Tablets, or Phablets that guzzle power. With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch, wearable gadgets need powerful batteries too.\nSince the launch of the first iPhone, there have been numerous advances in smartphone technology. Better processors, more memory, increasing storage, and better cameras. The only thing that does not seem to have improved much over the years is the battery.\nI have used many smartphones over the years, and all of them had the same problem; a battery that runs out when I was about to send an important email at the end of the day. Or, when I needed to call home to say I am on my way.\nOver the years, I have tried many battery solutions and different ways to ensure my battery remained charged:\n- Mophie Juicepack Air – Mophie is a case for your smartphone that also includes a battery. The battery in the case charges the smartphone’s internal battery. The disadvantage of the Mophie is the lead time for charging your phone. When you are on a call, you are consuming a lot of power. Battery charging is a slow process and Consumption is always faster than Charging.\n- iGo Green USB charger – iGo Green is a battery that plugs into the wall for charging. Once the iGo Green is charged, you can charge your smartphone through a built-in USB port. The disadvantage of the iGo green is that you need to charge the battery first. If the battery is already drained when you need to charge your phone, you are out of luck.\n- Spare charger – Of course, you could leave one charger at work and one at home. What about the car and the meeting room? Or the transit? I can think of too many situations where you need to charge your phone and it is practically impossible to have a charger everywhere.\n- Predictive usage – If your battery goes below 10% stop watching the YouTube video and wait till you get home! Believe me, I have tried this too.\nA smartphone cannot work without a charge and you are disconnected from work, home, and friends when your battery runs out. I was wondering how to ensure that my smartphone’s battery stays charged for at least 12 hours. If I could get through the day without losing charge, I could charge my phone when I got home. With superior battery technology not coming anytime soon, I had to look for a solution to stay connected.\nThen I found the perfect solution – ZeroLemon.\nThe ZeroLemon battery is a 7000 mAH (milli-Ampere Hour) battery as compared to the original 2100 mAH battery that comes with the Samsung Galaxy S3. It is obviously more than three times the original capacity. The ZeroLemon battery takes 6 hours to charge and lasts 3 days even with heavy use! Even when I used my S3 for calls, texting, social media, Internet, Netflix, flash photography, and email, ZeroLemon refused to die.\nHere are a few photos of the battery that has truly changed the way I use my smartphone:\nFront of the ZeroLemon battery when compared to the original Samsung battery:\nBack of the ZeroLemon battery:\nThickness of both batteries:\nSamsung Galaxy S3 when you insert the ZeroLemon battery:\nSamsung Galaxy S3 with the Zero Lemon battery and case:\nFinally, if you are interested in comparing the thickness:\nThe Samsung Galaxy S3 surely gets a bit bulkier with the ZeroLemon battery. However, it is interesting to note that it is less bulkier than the OtterBox case. For a little additional weight, you get three days worth of battery. Now, you can always stay connected.\nHere are the battery usage statistics from my Samsung Galaxy S3 when the ZeroLemon battery was about to run out. As you can see, the battery lasted me a full 2 days and 19 hours with 3% remaining:\nZeroLemon is available on Amazon. ZeroLemon sells extended batteries for many Android phones. Sadly, they do not sell an extended battery for the iPhone. Try out the Zero Lemon battery and let me know how you liked it.\nDisclaimer: The Digital Dimension of Technology is an independent non-commercial technology blog.

(NASDAQ: NLST), a leading provider of high performance memory solutions for the cloud computing and storage markets, announced today that it has filed a Second Amended Complaint in the lawsuit against Diablo Technologies, Inc., related to the recently released ULLtraDIMM memory module. The complaint details Diablo's theft of Netlist's breakthrough HyperCloud® technology and its incorporation of the stolen trade secrets in the ULLtraDIMM product Diablo produced in partnership with Smart Storage Systems, Inc. This trade secret lawsuit and the related suit asserting infringement of seven Netlist patents against the ULLtraDIMM are pending before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland, California. In the complaint, Netlist seeks, among other things, an injunction against the ULLtraDIMM product, as well as damages, royalties and restitution for Diablo's misappropriation of Netlist's trade secrets.\nAs described in the complaint, Diablo exploited its position as a trusted vendor to steal Netlist's most valuable intellectual property and incorporate the stolen technology in the ULLtraDIMM. Netlist disclosed to Diablo in confidence, for the sole purpose of building products for Netlist, the core specifications for HyperCloud®, and spent significant engineering resources over several years teaching Diablo how to implement these technologies. The complaint details how Diablo stole these proprietary specifications and designs and used them to create its own products including the ULLtraDIMM. In the process, Diablo transformed itself from a contract design house to a \"products company\", leveraging this theft to build a reputation for new technology development that it does not deserve.\n\"Diablo's theft of Netlist's most valuable IP violates all norms of fair dealing between companies in our industry that play by the rules,\" said Netlist President and CEO, C.K. Hong. \"We intend to bring Diablo's long course of unlawful conduct to light and to vigorously pursue every available remedy for its theft, including an injunction.\"\nNetlist has also served an Amended Trade Secret Disclosure describing in detail approximately 60 technical trade secrets taught and disclosed by Netlist to Diablo, and, as described in the complaint, believed to reside in the ULLtraDIMM. Among these trade secrets are: (a) Netlist's LRD/DxD chipset architecture, including communication control architecture, control information extraction, write-leveling operations, and chipset pin definitions and operation modes; (b) Netlist's ASIC controller architecture, including multiplexing proprietary and standard operations, rank register controller, and access control architecture; (c) Netlist's isolation switch device architecture; and (d) novel features in Netlist's architecture for memory module self-test.\nNetlist, Inc. designs and manufactures high-performance, logic-based memory subsystems for server and storage applications for cloud computing.

Or lead him through the most important work steps, which are currently done? With the use of smart glasses, the so-called Augmented Reality glasses (AR glasses), this is easily possible. Infraserv Höchst Prozesstechnik has already recognized the benefits of smart glasses. Although the newly founded subsidiary of the industrial service provider has only been operating since the beginning of the year, the use of AR glasses has become a daily business. “The handling of the smart glasses is simple and the possibilities of use varied,” says Frank Unger, Managing Director.\nWith his rapidly growing team, Frank Unger offers consulting services that can sustainably increase the availability of complex process equipment. The three service lines Asset Management & Engineering, Reliability Management, Pumps and Drive Technology as well as Process Analysis Technology offer technical services related to the production processes.\nCustomer benefits through the use of smart glasses\n“We develop a holistic maintenance strategy based on an exact analysis,” explains Unger. Its employees can also provide all the technical services necessary to implement these concepts. Further advantages: The new service company works independently of the manufacturer and also has a lot of experience as a plant operator thanks to the close cooperation with colleagues from other Infraserv units. The employees provide the technical services in their own specialized service center as well as on site in the customer’s facilities. The smart glasses are used to reduce throughput times and ultimately to shorten system failures.\n“We make digitization if it brings us and the customer something,” says Unger. “The smart glasses facilitate necessary votes and are very well received by the customers. This promotes intensive, collaborative partnership – the prerequisite for us to be able to develop tailor-made maintenance solutions. “\nUses of the smart glasses\nThe images of the AR glasses can be shared via video, picture and sound.\nBy using the smart glasses it is possible for employees to show customers live the implementation of important steps and to coordinate necessary measures directly – in this way, for example, Very easy to carry out acceptance tests on devices of the customer on the PC. For on-site repair work, specialists from the computer can also be added as virtual support. The smart glasses also help with the documentation, in that photos of the individual work steps can be created voice-controlled. Data archiving takes place electronically in the order documents.\nThe user of the smart glasses can not only transmit his field of vision live, he also benefits from visual additional information that can be displayed with him. These include e.g. Checklists, master or manufacturer data – all relevant data and documents can be made available digitally. This simplifies the work and saves additional paper processes.\n“All the data is available digitally right from the start and they can handle their processes using state-of-the-art technology,” explains Ralph Urban, Head of Maintenance & Real Estate Competence Team at IT Service Center, who has introduced the company’s smart glasses. “In this way, media breaks can be prevented: There is no paper process, the processing is thus faster, the density of documentation is higher and of course the professional use of modern technology also promotes the external effect.”\nThe smart glasses are also very popular in other areas of the parent company. The augmented reality glasses have been extensively tested in various areas. Future deployment scenarios include, for example, technicians and production staff in on-call service, who can quickly engage subject-specific staff when using the glasses. Inspections of our own production facilities for inspection as well as from external locations are also possible by using smart glasses from the PC.\nFor some time now, the service provider has also been driving mobile maintenance – the so-called mobile maintenance – in which self-developed apps are used to carry out repairs as well as maintenance and inspection on a mobile basis. By using apps on tablets and smartphones, work orders can be updated on a daily basis and implemented directly. For example, apps for mobile message capture and mobile maintenance and inspection are currently in use – 853 km of pipelines and 270 E-stations accommodating transformers and switchgear can be checked and maintained more efficiently in this way. The intuitive operation with voice input, photo and video function, GPS information and QR code recognition also support the further work process.\nPerspectively, smart glasses should also be used in these fields of application. In order to meet the needs of users and to use the smart glasses with the greatest possible benefit, the Service Center IT also deals with the development of a software application for “maintenance and inspection” for the AR glasses. “For us, the integration into our existing systems, for example SAP, and thus the processes involved is very important,” explains Urban. “In cooperation with a software service provider, an app for smart glasses is developed as part of a thesis, which is tailored to us.”\nThe big advantage of the smart glasses over the smartphone is the hands-free operation and thus a safer working. The operation of the smart glasses works via voice control and can be carried out with the complete personal protective equipment (PPE) – especially in the industrial environment, this safety aspect is an important argument for further development.\nThe article was published in CHEManager, Germany’s leading specialist medium for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries:", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "20 Jun 2019 Minecraft Free & Safe Download for Windows from RocketFiles.com. are several ways you can download and install Minecraft on your PC.\nFree Download Minecraft APK For PC Windows(7,8,8.1,10,XP) Full Version and Laptop.Install Android APK/APPS On PC/Laptop Using Android Emulator.Best apk downloader to download android apps/apk.You can download apps/games to desktop of your… Download in Rocky Bytes: animated player mod 1.7.10 free download for pc windows for free, 100% fast and clean.

Last week, leaked images of the Pixel 3a successor gave us an initial glimpse about the phone's design. And now, a leaked video reveals the detailed specifications about the upcoming smartphone.\nAccording to a video by TecnoLike Plus (via Engadget), the Google Pixel 4a is expected to come with 5.81-inch display, which is slightly bigger than Pixel 3a's 5.6-inch screen. It is expected to come with a resolution of 1080x2340 pixels and feature a punch hole display that houses the phone's single front camera. This is another major departure from the Pixel 3a, which comes with a notch on top.\nThe upcoming budget Pixel smartphone is likely to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 processor that is coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage space. In terms of the camera, the phone is likely to come with a 12-megapixel rear camera that is housed inside a square camera module. It has a capacitive fingerprint scanner at the back, which indicates that Google will ditch the Soli radar chip in the Pixel 4a smartphone.\nAdditionally, Google, as per the video plans to retain the 3.5mm jack in the Pixel 4a. The headphone jack will be placed on the top while the USB Type-C port will be placed at the bottom of the phone. The phone is expected to pack a 3,080mAh battery. Interestingly, these details are consistent with an older report that talked about the phone's design. The only change seems to be in case of the RAM capacity. The new video, which is reportedly based on the pre-production model of the phone, hints that the phone will get a bigger RAM capacity.\nALSO READ: Pixel 4a: Google could indeed launch three mid-range Pixels this year\nAs far as the availability is concerned, the Google Pixel 4a was scheduled to be launched at the Google I/O 2020 in May this year. But with the physical event of Google's annual developers conference being cancelled owing to coronavirus outbreak. Amid the present circumstances it remains to be seen when Google will launch its next generation budget Pixel phone.\nFollow HT Tech for the latest tech news and reviews , also keep up with us on Twitter, Facebook, Google News, and Instagram.

For example, I downloaded several dozen volumes of Canada’s House of Commons Debates for my doctoral research. Now, I’m using the same files for a digitization and transcription project that will be live on the web in a few weeks. But i have a problem. The filenames that I initially used for the files have spaces that will create problems when they’re converted into URLs as well as other traits that will be confusing for my project team. Consequently I need to rename the files.\nRenaming each file manually takes forever. Mass renaming, or more properly, “Batch” renaming is the solution. There are lots of powerful command line solutions available for those who are comfortable with that sort of thing. If you’re not one of those people – fear not! Powerful and free software solutions abound.\nThe main problem for Windows users is over choice. Renamer has a fairly simple but powerful design. The interface is not entirely intuitive at first (below), but the program offers a helpful 1-page guide at launch that expedites the learning curve. There is also a full user’s manual online. By clicking the “add” button, users can choose from a wide variety of filters including insert, delete, replace, rearrange, and change case. These changes can also be applied to sub-directories. Non-commercial users can install the Lite version for free and are unlikely to require the Pro version.\nFor OS X, NameChanger is very similar to Renamer, but boasts an even simpler interface. Users can input entire directories or specific files for renaming. The dropdown menu in the middle of the screen allows users to select from a variety of filters including replace first occurrence, append, prepend, change case, and date. NameChanger also has an image browser in case users need to be more selective. There is even a handy you-tube demonstration video.\nRegardless of what program you choose, most users will want to remember to set the software to ignore file extensions. This is particularly important when removing characters from the end of filenames. With either of these batch renamers, your files will be ready to go in minutes.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "When a tech startup has investors like Google and Y Combinator, news of its demise is enough to send “a shock wave through the industry” – or so says Tech Crunch, who recently reported on the shutdown of drone analytics company Airware.\nAirware was looking to fill a gap in the market with its solutions, which worked to make sense of aerial data retrieved by drones over construction or mining sites, using analytics software called Redbird. The idea is to eliminate the often costly, dangerous work of sending humans and helicopters out to remote areas to inspect equipment for damage or assess work progress… and then also feed it into an enterprise system to yield results usable for making business decisions.\nAccording to Tech Crunch, one of the biggest hurdles that Airware faced was that its software was so far ahead of the drone hardware market, that the company sunk tons of money and manufacturing into developing drones. The problem was other commercial drone makers, specifically those like DJI, a China-based operation, eclipsed Airware quickly, and were able to produce the equipment faster and at a much cheaper rate.\nPost-cash burn it was only a matter of time, though the problem was Airware’s Redbird was an important component to many operations at this point. So important, in fact, that as Airware circled the drain, Caterpillar tried to prop the company up with investments in an effort to help bring the technology to its dealers and customers as an add-on to its traditional construction and mining equipment.\nLuckily for companies that had grown to rely on Redbird,– a drone services company based in France – has recently agreed to acquire the analytics software and IP from Airware, along with the 26 employees who were running it.\nAirware’s downfall was ultimately “a matter of bad timing” and Emmanuel de Maistre, CEO of the Redbird unit, echoes this theory, saying the company was out of money and “ran out of runway.”", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "In the first post in this series we looked at an approach for exporting Forma geometry to an STL file that can be loaded into Dynamo and analysed using VASA, our Voxel-based Architectural Space Analysis toolkit.

(Later on I hope we’ll also be able to work with more detailed architectural geometry as the level of detail in Forma evolves.)\nIn that post I also alluded to something that’s coming soon which will streamline the above workflow: you’ll hear more about that at AU 2023 if you’re lucky enough to be attending that event.\nToday I wanted to talk about a prototype integration of VASA directly into Forma.

Due to multiple tech trends in the industry, managing a web development project has become difficult. Many owners and CTOs go through FOMO (fear of missing out) as they don’t want to lose out on anything fresh that others are following and benefitting from.\nWeb development is more than just a set of trends to keep an eye on. To build a website or a web app that will help you produce more leads and convert them, you’ll need to keep an eye on a few factors – myths, errors, and the recent trends in web development to design software that performs well, is efficient, and secure.\nWeb Development – An Overview\nWith years of technological advancement, web development is one such industry that undergoes major changes called trends each year. Web development enables businesses to create apps and websites – digital software, to spread awareness of their services and products. In addition, websites help companies clearly understand how their products and services fit people’s lifestyles. However, all this can only be achieved if you consider the latest trends and create your website using the latest technology.\nWeb development is about creating a website/app for the business, improving its design and looks, ensuring seamless integration, enhancing functionality, running fast, solving problems, and improving performance. However, while there are several sources of information about web development, there could be a few misunderstandings as well.\nMisconceptions about Web Development\nWe were astonished to discover a lot of information about web application development trends that have no clear connection to the web or are out of date. Here is a list of Misconceptions that you may have regarding Web Development\nThis technology has nothing to do with web development and is only required in the field of certificate authentication.\n2. The architecture can be devoid of servers\nThis method is ideal for developing apps or prototyping and will never require additional expansion or growth. In the case of businesses that aim for expansion and growth, they will be compelled to convert from serverless to API/containers, which will be a difficult and costly transition. So, it is better not to go for serverless architecture from the beginning.\n3. Virtual reality\nThis may be the current trend, but exclusively in the gaming industry. VR is rarely incorporated into web development and requires costly equipment on the part of the user, which must always have tremendous power for real-time rendering. As a result, VR for the web is not considered a mainstream direction.\n4. Motion User Interface\nThis concept simply aids in the development of code for certain transitions and animations and is just a part of web app design trends, not of web development. It’s one of several useful techniques for cutting down on coding time, adding animations to your program, but that cannot be a trend. The same can be said for dark-themed or low-light UI.\n5. Internet of Things\nIt works vice-versa. You don’t need the Internet Of Things for Web Development; instead, it’s the other way around. IoT is a general term for items with electronic devices for exchanging data with servers over the Internet.\n6. Single page application\nSingle-page applications or SPA is not a trend in web development – it is more of a mandate. It is all about updating the displayed information without refreshing the page and it is not as easy as building other apps. The good thing is that the front-end and back-end developers can now work on SPAs at the same time.\nCommon Mistakes of Today`s Web Developers\nHere are some common errors you can avoid in reviewing, repairing, or updating the recent web development area:\n1. Using the most up-to-date tools as soon as possible\nThe most common blunder is believing that new technology will provide you with a competitive advantage. The same goes for using redundant technology over and over again. You must create a balance between the two as new technology is frequently unproven, unexpected, and just too hazardous to use in actual business endeavors.\n2. No code compression\nThere are times when launching an early-stage development code that runs slowly, takes a long time to download, and requires more traffic. They need to consider minifications and bundles before they push these codes into production.\n3. Non-responsive layout\nYou may find projects on the web front-end that are not adaptable. You can ignore the mobile views of very early versions of web products. However, once the mobile version requirements are displayed, it’s much easier to implement them if you understand how to combine the components of the mobile screen and write the code first.\n4. Overly complex design\nIt is discouraged to implement a design that can be unpleasantly surprising, too sophisticated or unusual, or with a high cost of implementation, as it can become difficult to follow the same pattern with every change in trend.\n5. Superficial competence\nDevelopers don’t always have the opportunity to understand every nook and cranny of new frameworks, libraries, and development techniques before laying their hands on a new project because these innovative approaches are adopted for business regularly. That is not a mistake, but only if the stakeholders or decision-makers are informed of the potential hazards associated with such an approach.\n6. Debugger keyword\nDevelopers may forget to remove the debugger keyword from their code before releasing it to production. If left unchecked, the app will stop when the Inspector Tool opens in your browser. Therefore, if such code appears in production, your app will be unsafe. Automated tools are typically used to avoid these cases. However, if they are missing or need to be set in your project, you will need to manually monitor such things.\n7. Skip the supported browser list\nA common mistake is to skip the list of supported browsers as these are rapidly becoming obsolete or unpopular.\n8. Using Architecture that is not scalable\nEvery little project makes the same mistake: its architecture does not scale well. Yes, this method can help you build tiny apps faster, but whenever new requirements emerge, you’ll find yourself spending insufficient time simply and money to make this design valid and functional. Even so, you’ll end up with redundant codes and hard-to-find defects, and adding new components will be a chore.\n9. Single CSS\nIt is not advised to use a single CSS for every component and page in your app. It may seem useful at first, but as your project grows, maintaining such code becomes more complex.\n10. Lack of team communication\nIt’s a mistake to skip discussions about code writing styles and CSS-style naming and coding that teams should follow or avoid effective technological tools that make code that style or standard. You should always negotiate these things before starting a project and stick to the agreed rules and principles.\nTop Web Development Trends in 2022\nData security needs to be a trend all the time. As security experts, we know a lot about companies that are hacked, ransom demanded, and completely unaware of policies on access and security practices. And the issue isn’t simply the existence of evildoers someplace out there or the inadequacy of development tools. Cybercriminals utilize sophisticated technologies to monitor the Internet 24/7 for systems with security flaws. The notion that you won’t be hacked since no one cares about you is outdated. You must apply the finest security measures on your web app or website with access control, event logging, input validation, penetration testing, data encryption, distributed processing, VPN and so on.\n2. Artificial Intelligence (AI)\nAI is a trend in its own right, but many areas can and are already used in web development, such as chatbots, search, and personalized customer experiences. With artificial intelligence, products can gain an edge over their competitors and dramatically improve many indicators of effectiveness. Chatbots are still operational on various websites, despite the slight criticism it faced. AI applications reduce support center costs and enhance consumer trust. Applying NLP processing tools to the way chatbots speak, makes them indistinguishable from humans. This makes AI not a trend but a standard. Additionally, AI and AI writing assistants are also being used nowadays to develop the content of websites thus taking web development to a new level..\n3. Progressive web applications\nSimply put, a PWA is a web app that uses a set of specific technologies to provide an equal or same user experience as a native app. Such apps can be installed, have a mobile-friendly responsive design, are extremely safe, and make your network independent. Progressive web applications were introduced in 2018, and you will be rampantly hearing about them for years to come. However, building a progressive web app is quite expensive. The idea behind PWAs is to provide a native experience for web apps.\n4. Voice search\nWith the rise of voice assistants and smart speakers in homes around the world, the majority of app-visitors or website audiences certainly prefer voice search to type. Today, entrepreneurs, where many users use search boxes to navigate web products, are also increasingly interested in performing and delivering voice searches. Setting up a tool that provides speech recognition right away is not enough; it should also work properly on mobile platforms and deliver a more comfortable and faster user experience than usual. Voice search should be competent enough to understand unusual language queries, synonyms, and expressions.\n5. Accelerated Mobile Pages\nAMPs were first introduced in 2016 to mitigate the app or website’s bounce rate and page load time. Google introduced the concept which was all about displaying a cached model of your content which is relatively saved on their servers. AMP is still used by some prominent news organizations. Previously, you had to use this technique if you wanted your work to appear in Google News. But Google said in the summer of 2021 that this is no longer necessary. Even if it’s no longer a trend over the years, it’s an additional technology worth considering if you’re starting a new online project with lots of resources.\nThere is no single trend, tool, or cheat sheet that will guarantee that your web product will be reliable, safe, and generally successful. What counts most is your engineers’ or web developers’ real experience and expertise in developing similar items. And sometimes the only way is to seek help from professional services or web development services to work on a project, its potential pitfalls, and opportunities and see transformations within the time frame and budget.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Every time I go to send a picture the phone restets and goes back to what it is like when i first turn it on.

From managing enrollment and attendance to billing and invoicing, these customized tools allow centers to automate routine processes, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.\nEnhanced Communication Channels\nOne of the key benefits of custom software in childcare centers is the improvement of communication channels. Custom solutions often include features like instant messaging, event calendars, and updates on child activities, fostering transparent and real-time communication between staff and parents. This not only provides peace of mind for parents but also ensures that everyone involved in a child's care is on the same page.\nPersonalized Learning Plans and Progress Tracking\nWith the help of proper software one can enable childcare centers to create personalized learning plans for each child. By inputting developmental milestones, tracking progress, and sharing updates with parents through a secure online portal, these solutions facilitate a collaborative approach to a child's education and development. Parents can stay informed about their child's achievements and areas for improvement, fostering a sense of involvement in their child's growth.\nSimplifying Staff Scheduling and Attendance Tracking\nEfficient staff scheduling is critical for childcare centers. Custom software simplifies this process by providing tools for creating schedules, managing time-off requests, and tracking staff attendance. This ensures that centers are adequately staffed and that caregivers can focus on providing quality care to the children.\nImproved Security and Child Safety Measures\nChild safety is a top priority for parents and childcare providers alike. Custom software allows centers to implement advanced security features such as secure check-in/check-out systems, real-time monitoring, and automated alerts for any unusual activities. These measures not only enhance the safety of the children but also instill confidence in parents.\nCentralized Data Management\nCustom software consolidates all essential information, from medical records and emergency contacts to dietary preferences, in a centralized database. This centralized approach ensures that staff can access critical information quickly and easily, promoting efficiency and providing a comprehensive view of each child's needs.\nSearch Engine Optimization (SEO) Benefits\nImplementing custom software in childcare centers not only improves operations but also enhances online visibility. Childcare centers using tailored software solutions can highlight their commitment to innovation and quality care on their websites and in online directories. This not only attracts tech-savvy parents but also contributes positively to search engine rankings.\nInvesting in the Future of Childcare\nCustom software solutions are revolutionizing childcare centers, providing many benefits ranging from administrative efficiency to enhanced communication and child safety.

Dubbed GPU Tweak, it may not be as well known as the EVGA Precisions and MSI Afterburners of this world but it is just as functional and we actually believe it may be the best enthusiast software around. By eschewing the unnecessary frills and oddities of some other tweaking software like Gigabyte’s ill-fated SoC Tuner, GPU Tweak puts every one of the necessary functions within reach. This version has also been upgraded with a number of unique add-ons within its handy Advance mode that will surely help overclockers.\nIn order to provide quick set-up-and-go overclocking options, ASUS has included a handy feature which links the GPU voltage and core speed at predetermined intervals. Increasing voltage automatically adjusts the core speed and vice versa. Naturally, this feature can be disabled but we actually found it quite handy for performance tuning. Memory voltage and VDDCI modifications can also be done and the limits are actually quite high so proceed with care if you don’t have more exotic methods of cooling.\nScrolling down to the second screen, we see that both 100mm fans can have their speeds manually changed independently of one another and AMD’s Power Target for their Boost feature can be tuned up to 120%. More importantly, ASUS has included a Load Line feature which acts very much like the LLC setting on a motherboard. As any video card comes under load scenarios, its core voltage drops but ASUS’ Load Line setting compensates for this, evening things out and potentially increasing stability in highly overclocked situations.\nAs with most other tweaking software, ASUS has included a GPU monitoring toolbar which is remarkably well fleshed out with a nearly endless list of items that can be enabled or disabled.\nWe spent over 13 hours tweaking ASUS’s Matrix and it was a profoundly rewarding experience. While most cards (especially of the GeForce variety) hold to a very stringent set of constraints, this HD 7970 was nearly limitless with what it had to offer. If you have the time and are willing to put in the effort to utilize every overclocking feature it has to offer, we can’t think of a better card for enthusiasts than the Matrix.\nAs usual, we didn’t’ increase fan speeds past the 75% mark but it should be noted that using the Matrix’s Turbo Fan option didn’t improve our overclocking results by one iota. This basically means we were able to hit the limits of software voltage modification and ASUS’ TweatIT without temperatures becoming an issue. In order to get higher clock speeds, we likely would have needed to use the hard-mod soldering locations on the PCB.\nNow onto the results. For benchmarking purposes, we hit the 1377MHz mark with the core voltage set to 1.4V while the memory proved to be even more malleable to overclocking than expected with a maximum speed of 6.854 Gbps. Those are by far the highest numbers we’ve ever achieved with a HD 7970 but they were only stable in some short-run applications. For 24/7 stability, a slightly more pedestrian (but nonetheless impressive) speed of 1328MHz was achieved with the memory hovering at 6.818 Gbps. These results were all attained with Load Line at 100% which did seem to aid in stability as higher speeds were achieved.\nAs you might expect, even at these lower speeds, the Matrix’s performance results were astounding:\n|Latest Reviews in Video Cards|", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Start studying chapter 22: social media and marketing learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games location-based social networking sites.

Up selling can done in two ways, one way is after the purchase and another way is while they were making the purchase by suggesting products which are complementary to their current item in their cart. Since customers are already in buying mode it requires less effort to persuade them to make another purchase. To capitalize on this intuitive customer behaviour we have developed “Customer Who Bought This Item Also Bought” extension.\nHere is how “Customer Who Bought This Item Also Bought” extension works, when a customer adds an item in their cart then the extension will look into the record of all the previously purchased customers and try to find out if they have bought any other item along with the selected one. If it finds any product during the search then those products will be displayed at the bottom of the product view page.\nThis feature helps the sellers to cater right product at the right time to their clients and it will make a solid impact in their sales.\nIf there are more than few items to be displayed in recommended product section then all the products will be displayed using Carousel Slider as slider item on the product view page. So this way we are not restricting any item from getting displayed in recommendation section.\n- Enable/Disable this extension at any time from Magento backend.\n- Customize “Customer Who Bought This Item Also Bought” block title from Magento backend.\n- Ability to set any order status from Magento backend, that order status will be used in the Also Bought products generation.\n- Set the number of Also Bought products to display on the product view page from Magento backend.\n- Sort the Also Bought products list either by popularity or randomly from Magento backend.\n- Enable/Disable the Carousel Slider for the Also Bought products from the Magento backend.\nTo configure the extension, go to STORE > Settings > Configuration and from left side menu, navigate to DCKAP > Also Bought. You can find various options to control the Also Bought module. You can enable/disable or change the options any time from the backend.\nTo enable/disable the Also Bought extension, go to STORES > Settings > Configuration and from the left side menu, navigate to DCKAP > Also Bought, select the “Enabled” field as “Yes” to enable the extension and select “No” to disable the extension.\nAlso Bought Block Settings:\nHere we can customize the Also Bought block that will be displayed at the bottom of the product view page.\nBlock Title: Title of the Also Bought product list content on product view page.

In this article, we will explore technology behind CCTV cameras and how they capture and transmit video footage.\nCCTV stands for closed-circuit television. A CCTV camera captures video footage and sends it to a recording device or a monitor for live viewing. A CCTV system typically consists of a camera, a cable, a recording device, and a monitor.\nCCTV cameras come in different shapes and sizes, from dome cameras to bullet cameras. The most common type of camera is dome camera, which is mounted on ceiling and can be easily adjusted to capture different angles. The camera captures video footage using a sensor and a lens. The sensor converts light into electrical signals, which are then processed by camera's electronics to create a video image. The lens focuses light onto sensor, controlling angle and depth of image.\nThe camera is connected to recording device or monitor via a cable. The cable carries video signal from camera to recording device or monitor. There are two types of cable commonly used in CCTV systems: coaxial cable and twisted pair cable.\nCoaxial cable is a type of cable that has a copper conductor surrounded by a layer of insulation, a braided shield, and an outer jacket. It is most commonly used type of cable in CCTV systems. Twisted pair cable is a type of cable that has two insulated wires twisted together. It is less common than coaxial cable, but is used in some CCTV systems.\nThe Recording Device\nThe video footage captured by CCTV camera is sent to a recording device, which stores footage for later viewing. The recording device can be a digital video recorder (DVR) or a network video recorder (NVR). The DVR records video footage onto a hard drive, while NVR records footage onto a network-attached storage (NAS) device.\nCCTV monitors are used to view live or recorded video footage from CCTV camera. The monitor can be a dedicated monitor or a computer monitor. The CCTV system can also be connected to a network, allowing users to view footage remotely using a smartphone or computer.\nIn conclusion, CCTV cameras work by capturing video footage using a sensor and lens, transmitting footage through a cable, recording footage onto a recording device, and displaying footage on a monitor. CCTV systems have become an important tool for improving security and safety in public places and workplaces. By understanding how CCTV cameras work, we can appreciate technology that makes them effective in preventing crime and protecting people.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Noticias y opinión\nGoogle's Voice Actions competes with Apple's Siri on the Motorola Photon 4G, Atrix 2 and Electrify Android smartphones.\nA host of new network threat-protection products will be introduced at RSA, but not all firewalls are built the same.\nVMware's Spring Hadoop offers link between Spring development framework and Hadoop distributed processing platform\nItautec selects Innovatrics as Biometric Technology Provider for Brazilian and South American Market\nMicrosoft on Wednesday let consumers start trying out its upcoming touch-based Windows 8 operating system, which aims to power a new wave of computer tablets and traditional PCs designed to counter Apple's big gains in the market through its Macs and iPads.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "In this day and age, many homes are being outfitted with smart devices that make everyday life easier. Smart home technology expands beyond the kitchen, bedroom and living room; some enterprising people are moving to smart buildings where automation is taken to the next level. But what exactly is the difference between a smart home and a smart building, and which one offers more benefits for homeowners? In this article we’ll explore the differences between smart home vs smart building as well as analyze their pros and cons so that you can decide which one works best for your own property. Keep reading to find out if a traditional intelligent house or an automated apartment block is right for you!\nWhat is smart home and what is smart building?\nWhat is smart home?\nSmart home is a term used to describe a residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers and security systems that are all connected to an integrated control system. With this system homeowners can remotely monitor and control these functions through their smartphones or other remote devices. This technology allows users to pre-set lights, heaters and other utilities so that they come on at specific times of the day or when certain conditions such as motion sensing occur. Smart homes also allow users to save energy by controlling electricity usage more efficiently than manually operated systems.\nAdditionally, smart home technology can be used for safety purposes like alerting the homeowner if there is an intruder in the house. Smart home technology also provides convenience and energy savings for homeowners.\nWhat is smart building?\nSmart Buildings are buildings that use technology to automate and optimize energy efficiency, operations, and maintenance. These systems allow control over lighting, temperature, access control, security systems, and other building functions from a centralized location or through the cloud. Smart buildings can improve occupant comfort and safety while reducing operational costs for businesses. They also help conserve resources by reducing energy consumption in buildings. Smart building technologies are becoming increasingly popular as businesses continue to strive for cost effectiveness and environmental sustainability.\nThere are many components to smart building solutions such as sensors, analytics software, real-time monitoring systems, digital twins, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) integration and more. Through these components the benefits of reduced energy consumption, improved occupant experiences and enhanced security can be achieved. Smart building solutions are versatile and can be tailored to meet the needs of any business or organization. Additionally, they provide flexible scalability for future growth and expansion. The combination of these benefits makes smart buildings an attractive option for businesses looking to increase efficiency and save money.\nSmart Buildings are transforming the way people interact with the built environment, from the energy used within a facility to how occupants use work spaces. By leveraging data analytics, optimizing operational processes, and enabling automation of tasks, Smart Building technologies provide powerful insights on how to improve efficiency and reduce costs in an ever-evolving digital world. As technology advances, so does our understanding of what it takes to make a building smarter.\nKey differences between smart home and smart building\n- Smart home uses a variety of devices to control and monitor the environment while smart building is much more complex and can control multiple environments.\n- Smart home focuses on convenience, comfort, safety, and energy efficiency while smart buildings focus on maximizing efficiency, controlling large spaces, monitoring equipment and data usage, and improving occupant experience.\n- A smart home typically utilizes IoT technology whereas a smart building may utilize both wired or wireless technologies for connectivity to achieve its goals.\n- Smart homes are usually connected through proprietary systems that run on local networks while smart buildings rely heavily on cloud computing for connectivity between users and devices from different companies.5. Smart homes have an emphasis on personalization due to their smaller scale whereas a smart building focuses on scalability depending upon the size and scope of the building.\n- Smart homes generally have a single controller that orchestrates all aspects of the smart home while multiple controllers are used in smart buildings to control different areas or departments within the building.\n- Smart homes may use local gateways for communication, but rarely require complex network infrastructure, whereas this is essential for a large-scale smart building.\n- The cost difference between a smart home and a smart building is quite significant as it scales with size and complexity of the system required for each environment.\nOverall, although both smart homes and smart buildings utilize technology to automate processes and improve efficiency, they do so in very different ways depending upon their purpose, scale, complexity, and available resources.\nPros of smart home over smart building\n- Increased Energy Efficiency: Smart home technology helps homeowners monitor their energy usage, allowing them to be more aware of how much electricity or gas they are consuming and when. This can save them money on their monthly bills while also helping to reduce their carbon footprint.\n- Improved Security: Smart home systems can include security features such as motion sensors, door locks, and video surveillance that help keep homes safe from intruders. Homeowners can set up alerts and notifications so they know immediately if an intruder has been detected in the house or if something else suspicious is happening.\n- Customization: Smart home technology allows homeowners to customize their living space by setting specific preferences for temperature, sound levels, lighting, etc., that are tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences. This helps to create a more comfortable and enjoyable living experience.\n- Convenience: Smart home technology can make everyday tasks easier by providing automation for mundane tasks such as turning on lights, locking doors, setting the thermostat, etc. This can save time and effort for the homeowner, making their lives simpler and less stressful.\n- Connectivity: Smart home systems are often connected to each other or to a larger network, allowing them to communicate with each other and interact in meaningful ways that provide convenience and efficiency for homeowners. Additionally, many devices have mobile apps that allow users to control their smart home system from anywhere in the world.\nCons of smart home compared to smart building\n- Smart home technology is more expensive to install and maintain than smart building technology.\n- Smart homes offer less control over energy consumption since most systems are not connected to a larger, centralized system like in a smart building.\n- Smart home systems require more effort from the homeowner to keep up with regular maintenance, updates, and repairs compared to a professional managed smart building system.\n- Privacy may be an issue for some homeowners who don’t want their personal data shared with their neighbors or other parties within a smart building setting.\n- Smart home systems are typically limited in scope and only allow access to certain areas of the house instead of controlling all aspects of the environment like in a smart building setting.\n- Security concerns can arise if someone manages to gain access to a smart home system, as all of the connected devices and features could be compromised.\n- Smart homes may not provide enough data for homeowners to make informed decisions about energy consumption or other factors related to the building’s environment.\n- Smart home systems are more vulnerable to cyber-attacks than smart buildings due to their typically larger number of individual device connections.\n- The use of smart home technology is limited in apartment complexes and multi-family dwellings since it requires each resident to install and maintain their own systems individually.\n- Smart home systems are typically less reliable than smart building technology, as they can be prone to technical difficulties or malfunctions if not properly maintained by the homeowner.\nPros of smart building over smart home\n- Lower energy costs: Smart building technologies can help reduce energy consumption and cost. With automated lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and intelligent sensors that detect occupancy levels in different areas of the building, smart buildings can significantly reduce energy costs by only using the necessary amount of energy for each area.\n- Improved security: Smart building technology also helps boost security measures within a commercial or residential property by alerting users to unwanted visitors or intruders. Building systems can be programmed to turn lights on or off depending on the time of day or when motion is detected in an area, automatically notifying occupants and allowing them to take action if needed.\n- Increased productivity: Through connected digital devices such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones, smart buildings can give occupants access to their work data and documents from anywhere in the building. This helps increase productivity by allowing users to work more efficiently and access the information they need quickly.\n- Enhanced comfort: Smart buildings also provide enhanced comfort for occupants through automated systems that adjust temperature or brightness levels throughout the building based on occupancy levels, time of day, and weather conditions. By taking these factors into account, the building’s HVAC system can ensure comfortable temperatures for everyone in a given area at all times.\n- Increased sustainability: Smart buildings are more sustainable than traditional ones as they can monitor energy consumption and use renewable sources such as solar power when available to reduce the building’s environmental impact. Smart building technology can also help to reduce water consumption, thus helping to conserve resources over time.\n- Reduced maintenance costs: Another advantage of smart buildings is that they require less frequent maintenance than traditional buildings since they are equipped with automated systems and sensors that can detect any problems before they become more serious issues. This helps to minimize downtime and reduce repair costs in the long run.\n- Improved occupant safety: Smart buildings are designed for occupant safety, as many of their systems and technologies are designed to monitor for potential hazards such as fire or gas leaks. They can also be equipped with panic buttons for emergencies, as well as smart evacuation systems that can guide people to safety.\nCons of smart building compared to smart home\n- Cost: Smart buildings require more investment for installation and maintenance, as the complexity of the systems is much greater than those in a smart home.\n- Complexity: The complexity of running multiple integrated systems across a large building can be difficult to manage and maintain.\n- Security: The security risks associated with accessing and controlling such sensitive data are also much higher, requiring additional measures to protect the system from hackers and malicious actors.\n- Compatibility: It can be challenging to make sure that all the various components of a smart building are compatible with each other, which could lead to issues down the line if they’re not properly configured or maintained.\n- Maintenance Requirements: Because of the increased complexity and number of systems involved in a smart building,the maintenance and upkeep requirements are also much greater. This can be costly and time consuming, requiring additional personnel to manage the system.\n- Power Requirements: Smart buildings require a lot of power to support all the connected systems and devices, which can significantly increase energy costs over time.\n- Privacy Issues: The data generated by smart building systems is often incredibly sensitive, so privacy concerns must be taken into consideration when implementing such systems in a public setting.\n- Potential Disruptions: While rare, potential disruptions such as power outages or system malfunctions could cause significant issues if not managed properly and quickly.\nSituations when smart home is better than smart building\n- Smart home provides more personalized control over the environment than smart building. Smart home can be programmed to adjust temperature, lighting, and other factors according to individual preferences.\n- Smart homes are less expensive than smart buildings. Smart home automation systems typically require much lower investments in hardware and software compared to a larger scale automation system for an entire building.\n- Smart homes provide greater security than smart buildings. Since a smart home is confined within the walls of one house, it can be easier to protect from outside intruders or hackers, which wouldn’t be as easy with a whole building full of connected devices that would need to remain secure from all angles.\n- With a smart home system, homeowners have direct access and control over their environment without relying on the building’s system. This is beneficial for those who want to monitor and adjust settings in their home when they’re not there, such as while on vacation or away from home.\n- Smart homes can be easier to upgrade than smart buildings. If a homeowner wants to make changes or add new features to their smart home, it can often be done without major renovations or disruption of the home environment. With a smart building, however, making changes may require hiring an expensive contractor or waiting for a long process for approvals and permits.\n- Smart homes can provide more convenience than a traditional building by automating common tasks such as turning lights off or adjusting temperature levels before bedtime.\nSituations when smart building is better than smart home\n- When managing a large building or campus with several interrelated systems, using one integrated system is more efficient than having separate systems for each component.\n- When the building has multiple occupants and/or tenants, a smart building can provide better control over who has access to what areas of the building and when they have access.\n- Smart buildings are better equipped to handle safety and security features such as fire detection and suppression, CCTV monitoring, automated door locks, etc., which provide extra peace of mind for residents or tenants in the building.\n- Buildings with complex energy consumption patterns can benefit from the ability to monitor energy usage throughout the day and adjust accordingly for maximum efficiency.\n- Smart buildings are able to integrate other services such as parking management, water usage monitoring and waste management, which can help to reduce costs associated with running the building.\n- Buildings with multiple occupants or tenants often require more stringent health and safety regulations than a home, and smart buildings are better able to meet these regulations by providing accurate data on air quality, temperature control, lighting levels and sound levels.\n- Smart buildings allow for remote access from anywhere in the world so that owners or operators can keep an eye on the building even when they’re not physically present.\n- Because of their scalability, smart buildings are able to accommodate changes in demand such as increased occupancy or changing energy needs over time without having to replace existing systems or add new ones.\nSmart Home vs Smart Building Summary\nA smart home is a private residence that uses technology to automate and improve the functions of the home for the benefit of the occupants. A smart building, on the other hand, is a public or commercial space that uses technology to automate and improve functions such as security, lighting, climate control, and energy efficiency. While both types of applications can offer advantages and disadvantages depending on the situation, overall a smart building is better suited to manage multiple users and large spaces while a smart home offers more personalized solutions for individuals or small families.

Immediately upon setting it up a major leak in the yellow ink delivery line occurred creating a mess. Epson replaced the unit with another refurbished unit. The refurbished unit has printhead nozzle proboems which result in streaked printing output, and the rear document feeder has major problems feeding envelopes. The black and white output is good, but color printing has streaks resulting from the clogged printhead nozzles which doesn't respond to repeated nozzle cleanings.\nOverall, the experience with the WP4540 is not good.\nAugust 8, 2014\nThis unit replaces a older Epson that had worked quite nicely until it began to jam and it was determined to be too expensive to repair. It was delivered quickly from the Epson store. Setup was fast and easy on multiple wireless devices - laptops, notebooks and PC's. One older laptop has a non functioning DVD drive so I needed to download the drivers from Epson and that was also quick and painless.\nWe have used the machine for faxing, scanning, printing (1 and 2 sided, business cards and brochures) and it is fast and the output is business quality. I would recommend this to any small or home business. It is large but fits nicely on top of a 2 drawer file cabinet next to my desk.\nBottom line this is a fast machine and I would highly recommend it.\nJuly 28, 2014\nWhen I have 2 pages in E-mail it only shows on screen the first page and will not print the second page.

Should you be worried even if you don’t have a lot of traffic? Is it a general thing, and if so, why are so many apps setting up databases in their docker-compose files?\nLet’s dig into this question, see what factors should influence your decision and whether you could do better or should start worrying.\nBefore Diving Deeper - Do You Know What You Really Need?\nYou wouldn’t think twice about using (or trying) Docker in a local development environment. After all, what’s the worst that can happen, apart from having to go back to your usual setup?\nUsing Docker becomes a less easy choice when it comes to more critical environments. In the end, it all depends on your needs. Not those of other people. Yours.\nProduction means different things to different people. Decisions get easier if you know what it means for you. What guarantees do you need? What risks are you willing to take? What upsides do you need, and what tradeoffs are you willing to take?\nDocker For Development Environment Databases\nShould you run databases in Docker? If you’re doing so in your development environment, there’s nothing to be concerned about.\nYou don’t have important data to lose. In case anything goes wrong, you simply recreate your environment from scratch. (You can get your dev env up in a single command, right?)\nLet’s look at a few upsides of using containers in this setting:\n- There’s less clutter on your development machine\n- You can work on multiple projects side by side, which depend on slightly different database versions\n- You can create a development environment on any OS in a reliable fashion\n- Everything is “documented” through automation and reproducible\nPersonally, my favourite way to develop right now, is to have backing services be defined in a docker-compose.yaml file for each project and bind to local ports of the host. This way, I can run a dev server locally, using the complete power of my tools, and have it interact with databases which live in containers.\nThe only downside could be, that the team is not yet familiar with the toolchain, and needs to invest some research and adjustment time into it.\nWhat About My Simple Live App?\nIf you’re working on a small project, and are deploying to a single machine, it’s completely okay to run your database in a Docker container.\nBe sure to mount a volume to make the data persistent, and have backup processes in place. Try to restore them every once in a while to make sure your backups are any good.\nA lot of people are running their small projects using Docker containers, or using docker-compose.yaml files to bring up their complete stack. It’s convenient, and perfectly fine for small projects handling non-crucial data. In the worst case - you restore a backup and are back in the game.\nIf you have a production system which people depend on, please take this recommendation with a grain of salt, and take a look further below.\nPitfall: Scheduling Across Multiple Machines\nHere’s a pretty bad anti-pattern, which can cause you a lot of trouble, even if you’re just working on a small project. You should not run stateful applications in orchestration tools which are built for stateless apps.\nOrchestration tools are designed to handle Docker containers running stateless applications. Such applications don’t mind being terminated at any time, any number can run at the same time without communicating with each other and nobody will really notice if a new container will take over on a different machine.\nThis is obviously not true at all for databases! They need their data to be available and being interrupted can cause all kinds of havoc.\nIf you’re using Kubernetes and your database runs in a ReplicaSet or ReplicationController, that’s a serious problem. You’d need to make use of StatefulSets and PersistentVolumeClaims. This means your cluster should provide a way to create PersistentVolumes, which can be accessed from all nodes.\nBut even then, you can’t just put any stateful app into a StatefulSet and be done with it. You have to tune it and make sure that the assumptions which are required actually are respected by the application.\nOkay, but what about responsible production environments? Is it a good idea to run your important databases in Docker containers? In general, I’d say don’t use Docker for production databases.\nThe rule of thumb here is: how can you reduce complexity? The less unknowns are in your stack, the easier it’ll be for you to maintain things and react to incidents.\nDatabases are critical services. They take effort to operate, and even more effort to do so reliably. If you really need your data to stick around and be safe no matter what, you don’t want unnecessary risks.\nRunning databases with valuable data in Docker has been known to cause trouble in the olden days (2016).\nDocker WILL crash. Docker WILL destroy everything it touches.\nThe time of weird bugs causing data corruption may be past, but one more layer in your tech stack can lead to unnecessary gotchas when operating a crucial service and performing maintenance tasks.\nEspecially if there are alternative ways to get more stability, spend less effort and reduce your risk. Database services provided by your cloud provider are a very good way to go for production (and that means also staging due to prod/staging parity) databases. Use RDS if you’re on AWS, Managed Databases on Digital Ocean, or an equivalend hosted Database service of your cloud provider. This will simplify a lot of management tasks such as updating minor versions, handling regular backups and even scaling up.\nWhat If Managed Database Services Are Out Of The Question?\nSo it’s super important data, which is too sensitive to go to a managed service?\nIs there a really well-maintained internal Kubernetes cluster? Is the service known to be in a reliable state when running on k8s? Are there actual important business reasons to use Kubernetes for everything? Maybe. But I’d still be very hesitant.\nIn all other cases, consider skipping Docker, and going with a dedicated machine for each part of the DB cluster instead, so there is as little operational complexity as possible.\nDocker is great for running databases in a development environment! You can even use it for databases of small, non-critical projects which run on a single server. Just make sure to have regular backups (as you should in any case), and you’ll be fine.\nFor the love of all that’s good - don’t run dockerized databases in container orchestration/scheduling tools without making sure that they can handle stateful apps. Probably they don’t do this by default, and you will see a lot of weird issues. Even if they can, you usually need to tune the app to be compatible with the tool in question.\nShould you use Docker for production databases? No. Simply because there are better options, like the database services managed by your cloud provider. If you really have to self-host such services in a reliable fashion, you’re in for a lot of work and learning. Set up dedicated machines and skip Docker. It’s a great tool, but you probably don’t need the upsides it can provide in this case.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Event sources are network sources that send information about events to the RSA NetWitness Platform.

Using the Highstreet Mobile platform, fashion brands can easily create stunning assets that captivate customers and seamlessly enable sales through your mobile app.\nThese are more than just videos: we’ve connected the video experience to the product catalog so that the products are instantly shoppable, enabling users to tap and instantly view product details. Then, customers can either add an item to their basket or return to continue viewing the video lookbook.\nHighstreet Mobile clients report that lookbook users on average spend 40% more time in the app, have a 200% increase in conversion rate, and spend 5% more per transaction. Lookbook users are also 5x more likely to return and make a new transaction.\nThe Benefits of Video, Lookbooks, And E-commerce\nFully-shoppable video lookbooks combine the engagement and conversion benefits of video with the branding benefits of lookbooks and the shoppability of an e-commerce store:\n- Tell a Better Story – Video lookbooks enable you to effectively add your brand personality and differentiate your pieces from those of other brands. You are able to inject far more personality into a video lookbook than you can with standard product photos such as those you might use in your e-commerce store.\n- Showcase Products in Real Environments – Customers want to know what products will look like when they are wearing them. Lookbooks enable brands to show multiple related products in ‘real life’ scenarios that help customers to picture themselves wearing them.\n- Fully shoppable – Video lookbooks enable customers to quickly and easily make and act upon a purchase decision while viewing the lookbook.\nHow To Create a Fully-Shoppable Lookbook Experience\nCreating a fully-shoppable video lookbook and publishing it in your app is easy with the Highstreet Mobile platform. You simply upload your lookbook video to Highstreet Studio CMS, after which our system will process and optimize your video. Once the upload is complete, you’re able to assign products from your catalogs to a specific time slot of the video.\nEvery linked product is shown for a minimum of 3 seconds, after which another product moves into the screen automatically. This ensures that a shoppable product is always visible on screen. With a single tap, users can view product details instantly and add it to their basket or wishlist. By tapping the back button, customers return to the video lookbook, which automatically resumes.\nLet Your Brand Shine With Highstreet Mobile\nDespite the advantages, very few brands are currently using fully-shoppable video lookbooks, in part because the technology necessary to create a seamless experience is complicated. The Highstreet platform takes care of all this, featuring:\n- An easy-to-use video lookbook creation system, which enables brand merchandisers to upload videos and choose which products display on the video.\n- A catalog with products so that users can seamlessly purchase products.\n- Best-in-class user interface designed to streamline the shopping experience and thoroughly tested over time.\nMoreover, since the platform is based on an app-as-a-service model, Highstreet handles security, maintenance and updates.\nWe’ve designed this platform especially for fashion brands with the objective of helping you create unique interactions with your customers and fans. Brands can launch a brand app within 6-8 weeks without a big IT budget or months of planning.

If you are planning to read e-mails and surf the web, you will not buy the same computer your hardcore-gamer neighbour has.\nProcessor is the heart of your computer. Your processor needs are based on what you are planning to do on your new computer. If your main purpouse is using it for internet, e-mail, word processors and office applications, any modern processor in the market will fit your needs. One important thing to look in a processor is clock frequency (which determines your processor speed), now this is measured in Ghz. But don't be fooled by checking only processor's clock frequency, one thing more to check in modern processors is the number of cores. Today processors have more than one core, this is important for multihreading (doing more than one task at the same time), usually processors whith more than one core have less clock frequency but they still are more powerful. A processor can have one, two, four, ... cores and every core can act as a standalone procesor.\nHard disk prices grow in terms of space and speed. Go for the one that you need most, if you are planning to build a media server to stream MP3s over your network then, for sure the most important thing is to buy a big disk to fit your 1 Terabyte music collection, but if you are planning to stream High Definition videos you will also need a fast hard disk with a high transfer rate. There's no trick to check disk space (if mega, giga, and terabytes are words you know, if not you can check it on Wikipedia). Things to check for a high transfer rate are connection, IDE (the old one), ATA and SATA (Serial ATA, wich is the latest and even fastest), also RPM determines how fast your disk is turning and, of course, this will affect your disk speed.\nIs screen important for you? If not, maybe you can skip these and next two ones, you can jump direct to Operating system. However screen is an important thing for games, graphics, watching movies ... Things to check when buying a screen are: aspect ratio, usually 4:3 or 16:9, the last one will give you a panoramic view and a more modern interface. Modern games now usually support 16:9 aspect ratio. Full HD or HD? This will determine your screen resolution, Full HD (also known as 1080p) works with 1080 lines of resolution with progressive scan which gives you the best reolution (1920x1080), HD (also known as 720p) works with 720 lines and give you a not so good resolution (1280x720). If you buy an HD screen 1080p or 720p, check that it has an HDMI connection in order to plug it to your computer in the best way.\nThis is an interesting piece for games. Check your video graphics card connectivity, look for an HDMI connection (modern connection for HD video) but you can also look for VGA, DVI connections if you pretend to use it also with older screens, you can also check for firewire if you want to capture video or TV connection if you need it. Video cards have a built-in processor which is called GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) this is one of the main things to check in your new video card, GPU model, speed, ... and the other important thing is Video memory, you have to check the size of video memory (usually from 64 MB to 4 GB) and the speed of this video memory.\nAn important characteristic of sound cards is polyphony, which is more than one distinct voice or sound playable simultaneously and independently, and the number of simultaneous channels. These are intended as the number of distinct electrical audio outputs, which may correspond to a speaker configuration such as 2.0 (stereo), 2.1 (stereo and subwoofer), 5.1 etc. You have to check that your card supports Dolby Digital Surround, which provides surround sound (usually called 5.1), where you can plug a set of five speakers and a subwoofer.\nOperating system is an important thing when buying a computer, it's not the most important but for many people it's decisive. If you want to play, run Microsoft applications, Office, ... then go for Microsoft Windows operating system. If you like rock solid computers, using your computer for those internet things, a cool and cheap operating system and you like to do things on your own (as you don't need technical support) go and get a Linux. If you need commercial technical support and assistance but still need a rock solid OS go and check Mac OSx and forget all other aspects in this hub you are in a different world, that is what I call Apple's world.\nRAM stands for Random Access Memory and it's a very important thing to check in your new computer as low memory can produce bottlenecks also in your home computing. Modern operating systems and games are resource-hungry in terms of memory. However for most people 4 Gb will be enough nowadays. There are many types of technology in RAM modules: SDR or SDRAM is the latest one (maybe you will not find these on your shop), then arrived DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 (latest) everyone performs faster and better than the older one. There is also RDRAM (Rambus DRAM), which is a high end product only used in high-tech computers and your Playstation 3. You can also check clock frequency to have an idea of memory DIMMs speed (usually in Mhz).\nNetwork card is your door to networking, internet. The most important thing to look in a network card (for non-techies) is the network speed, 10/100/1000 Mbps. A card with 10/100/1000 can connect to gigabit network using a speed of 1000 Mbps. The fastest nowadays (and perfect for HD video streaming, realtime applications and heavy traffic networks, usually not like yours).\nNetwork card is not the only connectivity to check in a computer, as modern computers offer also wifi (wireless network) connections, bluetooth (check that is Bluletooth 2.0, the last one), infrared connections. You can also look for serial and parallel connections (for specific needs), how many USB ports your new computer will have. Look for an HDMI connection for conneting your HD screen, DVI and VGA are old connections, but it can help you to connect with older screens, this will be more important on laptops or netbooks.\nDo you plan to use your computer mainly at home, then go for a desktop computer. You plan to store your movie and music collection, and stream it all over your home then go for a server computer that fits your needs. You need lots of power, but you need to take your computer with you sometimes then go for a laptop. You need an \"always with you\" computer to stay connected, check your e-mail, surf the web and a little word processing and office tasks then go for a netbook.\nPredicting the Computer of 2004 in 1954\nBuying a computer today is not so difficult, computers are not so complex.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Tag: Infinity Blade 3\nIn honor of Thanksgiving Chair Entertainment is having a little fun by providing free Turkey Helms for both the main characters in Infinity Blade III.

Its mainsail function is to acquire a DNA sequence and find the open reading frames (a sequence of DNA that could potentially encode a protein) that accord to genes. GenScan was formulated by Prof. Chris Burg who is currently working on his thesis. This program is not only used to detect genes in a sequenced set of DNA, it can also be used to determine a specific sequence using measures of the percentage of C+G content. As a matter of fact there are mainly four profiles for a particular species in a parameter file and each profile is equivalent to C+G%.\nThere are mainly two types of structure predictions; one is for proteins and the other is for genes. For the understanding of gene prediction and analysis terms one should know what actually genes are. Genes are biological unit of heredity; they are located at distinct position (locus) on a specific chromosome. Basically genes are of two types.\nCoding genes or Exons: a sequence of DNA that carries instructions to perform specific function or translated into protein. For example, there are globin genes that imparts instructions for the manufacturing of hemoglobin (which carry oxygen throughout the body) protein. As humans contains 50,000 different genes that work collectively in intricate way to perform different functions.\nNon-coding genes or Introns: Usually do not contain any instruction for a function. Non-coding genes never translated into proteins.\nStructure of Gene\nIn a count to regions that overtly code for a protein mostly genes are comprised of regulatory regions. Given below are the regions that all genes have:\nPromoter region: it is a regulatory region of gene, which controls the initiation of RNA transcription.\nEnhancers: they enhance the transcription.\nIntrons: are non-coding regions and these regions are transcribed but do not translate into proteins.\nExons: are coding regions and these regions are translated into proteins.\nGenScan: Gene Structure Prediction\nNow for the complete structure prediction of gene by using computational advances is to find out the location and function of gene. The main problem is to separate and define the exon-inton boundaries of a gene.\nTwo approaches followed by gene prediction:\nStatistical patterns identification: This approach of gene prediction uses all-purpose knowledge about gene structure i.e. statistics and rules. Knowledge of gene structure as discussed earlier includes promoter region (where transcription initiates), start and end sequences of intron and exon etc.\nSequence similarity comparison: As similarity is based on evolution, either our sequence is homologous or not. This approach is based on similarity which takes advantage on the fact that if the sequence is similar it will have same function. But the structure of gene cannot be predicted accurately based on sequence information alone.\nFor the large scale analysis of gene the typical strategy is to completely inactivate each gene or over express it. In each case resulting phenotype may not be informative. The loss of many proteins is lethal and this tells us the protein is essential but it does not tell us what actually protein does. After the prediction of gene structure we can investigate its function, expression level, diseases, mutations, etc. By using this information we can cure different diseases.\nWhy to use GenScan?\n• It can identify disease severity.\n• It can help children and adults to live a long, healthy life.\n• It can help people concentrate on precautionary measures against numerous, serious debilities.\n• It can predict gene structure to investigate its function, expression level, disease, mutation.\n• It can prevent the disease by delay of occurrence of disease.\nBioinformatics software developed to solve same problems\nGENSCAN (Burge 1997)\nFGENESH (Solovyev 1997)\nHMMgene (Krogh 1997)\nGENIE (Kulp 1996)\nGENMARK (Borodovsky & McIninch 1993)\nAbout Author / Additional Info:", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Great game My only comment is that the game resets when paused for a while.

Kutenda co-founders Mike Cooch (CEO, Everon Technology Services) and Akash Saraf (CEO, Zenith Infotech) have updated me on their efforts. Here’s some perspective.\nAccording to Cooch and Saraf, roughly 60 companies attended Kutenda’s live training in Denver last week and this week. “We were very over-subscribed for this program (we received nearly 1000 applicants), so we are thrilled with the response,” Cooch told me over email.\nKutenda plans to release its tool to additional applicants in an “open beta” starting in July 2009, and hopes to deliver a full production release in August 2009, Cooch adds.\nCooch and Saraf jointly announced Kutenda in April 2009. At the time, the duo said the Kutenda Internet Marketing Platform will help MSPs profit from:\n- Web site design, development and analytics\n- Email marketing\n- Search Engine Optimization\n- Search advertising management\n- Local search optimization\nUp to the Challenge?\nKutenda is attempting to address a tricky problem. Many MSPs don’t understand how to market and search engine optimize their own businesses. Yet, Kutenda will strive to help MSPs to offer marketing services to their customers.\nThat’s a big challenge, but Cooch understands marketing. His other company — Everon Technology Services — is a leading MSP that landed on the Inc. 5000 and MSPmentor 100 lists. Everon has successfully branded its services, and the Everon team runs a solid corporate blog to keep customers and partners focused on industry trends. And of course, Saraf runs Zenith Infotech, one of the most successful vendors in the MSP market.\nWe’ll see if Cooch and Saraf can repeat that success at Kutenda.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "|Home||Internet of Things||Aerospace||Apparel||Energy||Defense||Health Care||Logistics||Manufacturing||Retail|\nRFID News Roundup\nImpinj launches RAIN RFID retail solutions with Detego, InMotion and Nedap ••• SML upgrades Clarity retail inventory-management software ••• Vizinex RFID releases Sentry Slim Skinnie tag ••• MEPS Real-Time updates system for pharmacy automation, inventory management ••• Giant Eagle tests Powershelf out-of-stock sensors as part of food-industry study ••• Sensoro deploys 110,000-beacon network in China.\nSML Upgrades Clarity Retail Inventory-Management Software\nSML Intelligent Inventory Solutions (IIS) has announced the release of its Clarity 3.X software, the latest version of the company's cloud-based software suite designed to ease RFID deployment in order to enable the real-time management of inventory across the global retail channel.\nThe software suite provides retailers with visibility into stock availability to help reduce out-of-stocks, audit product shipments and deliveries, and report on stock-counting variance, the company reports, as well as help retailers improve omnichannel execution at each store.\nThe new version is completely cloud-based, running as a private cloud or behind the retailer's firewall, so it does not require any servers running at the retailer's site, according to Dean Frew, SML Group's chief technology officer and senior VP of RFID solutions. Clarity 3.X is also more scalable, he says. \"We built the platform on an event-triggered architecture to make it the most scalable architecture in the market,\" Frew states. As an example, retailers with 1,000 stores can perform a stock count and replenishment simultaneously, without any performance issues and with a high-level user experience.\nThis latest version also features a new omnichannel functionality designed to connect distribution facilities and stores, and an Intelligent Inventory Replenishment feature, allowing autonomous fixed readers to accurately capture items being received into stockrooms, as well as trigger alerts regarding sold merchandise, so that the affected stock can be transitioned to the sales floor. There is also a new user interface with a Web dashboard that enables store personnel to quickly assess the potential cost of an out-of-stock situation. Generic Integration \"connectors\" built for numerous types of retailer enterprise systems are also now available with Clarity 3.X, Frew says.\nClarity currently runs on Nordic ID, Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd. (TSL) and Zebra Technologies RFID handhelds using Microsoft Windows and iOS operating systems as well as Alien Technology, Impinj, Nordic ID and Zebra fixed RFID readers, with versions for iOS and Android coming soon. Clarity 3.X is currently deployed in several retailer pilot implementations, as well as in Tesco's F&F retail apparel stores (see RFID News Roundup: Tesco's F&F Division, SML Group Partner to Deploy RFID for Improved Inventory Accuracy).\nLogin and post your comment!\nNot a member?\nSignup for an account now to access all of the features of RFIDJournal.com!\nSEND IT YOUR WAY\nRFID JOURNAL EVENTS\nASK THE EXPERTS\nSimply enter a question for our experts.\n|RFID Journal LIVE!||RFID in Health Care||LIVE!

Definition of UX Design\nUser Experience (UX) Design is an amalgamation of processes and methodologies aimed at enhancing user satisfaction and usability when interacting with a product, service, or platform. It’s not just about visual appeal; it’s a holistic approach that encompasses functionality, accessibility, and the overall experience. The Nielsen Norman Group, a renowned research institution, elaborates that UX envelops all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with a company and its services. With the digital landscape evolving at a rapid pace, it’s imperative to understand that UX design is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity.\nB. Introduction to Outsourcing\nOutsourcing involves delegating certain business processes or services to external agencies or professionals. This model has gained popularity across industries due to its plethora of benefits ranging from cost savings to accessing global expertise. A report by Statista indicates that the global outsourcing market reached $92.5 billion in 2019. Particularly in the realm of UX design, outsourcing has emerged as a strategic move that allows businesses to tap into specialized skill sets that may not be available in-house.\nC. Importance of UX Design in Business\nIn the digital age, UX design holds the reins in determining the success of online platforms. It's not just about aesthetics; a well-thought-out UX design ensures that users can easily navigate through your website or app, significantly impacting customer retention and conversion rates. According to a study by Forrester Research, a well-designed user interface could raise your website’s conversion rate by up to 200%. Moreover, UX design is pivotal in building brand image and customer loyalty. Adobe’s research reveals that 38% of people will stop engaging with a website if the content or layout is unattractive. As the first point of contact for many consumers, ensuring an excellent user experience is paramount to establish and grow your digital presence.\nUX design forms the backbone of customer interaction with digital platforms. As such, it’s crucial for businesses to recognize its importance. Outsourcing UX design can be the golden ticket for businesses looking to scale and make a mark in the competitive market. By understanding the very definition and implications of UX design, coupled with the strategic utility of outsourcing, businesses can unlock a world of opportunities. The upcoming sections will delve into the specific reasons and benefits of outsourcing UX design.\nThis introduction sets the stage for the rest of the blog by providing foundational knowledge on UX design, outsourcing, and the critical role UX design plays in business success.

This led to a 50% increase in conversion rates and a 30% decrease in bounce rates within three months. This is aligned with research by HubSpot indicating that a well-thought-out UX design can increase conversion rates up to 400%.\nB. Case Study 2: How a Large Corporation Saved Costs and Improved UX\nBackground: Consider the case of a large telecommunications company looking to improve its mobile app.\nOutsourcing Decision: The company chose to outsource UX design to benefit from specialized expertise and also to save costs associated with hiring an in-house team.\nOutcome: The outsourcing partnership resulted in an intuitive, visually appealing, and highly functional app. They saved approximately 40% in operational costs, as reported by the company's quarterly report. This is in line with Deloitte’s Global Outsourcing Survey, which highlights cost savings as a primary benefit of outsourcing.\nInsights: Large corporations can leverage outsourcing to save on costs without compromising the quality of UX design.

This led to the startup securing $20 million in Series A funding, as reported by TechCrunch.\nInsights: Startups, especially in the tech space, need to understand the significance of UX design in product development. By outsourcing UX design, startups can focus on their core strengths and leave the UX design to experts, ensuring a quality end product.\nPotential Challenges and How to Overcome Them\nA. Communication Barriers\nCommunication is crucial in any project, and when outsourcing UX design, it can sometimes become a challenge due to language and cultural differences.\n1. Language Proficiency: It’s important to ensure that the outsourcing team has adequate proficiency in the language used for communication. This will minimize misunderstandings and ensure smoother collaboration.\n2. Cultural Sensitivity: Understand and respect the cultural differences that might exist between your team and the outsourced team. This can lead to better working relationships and more effective communication.\n3.

Jimmy is our main public figure as CEO, especially towards the token holders, but we felt like it was time to introduce ourselves and let you know some of our thoughts. That is why I am picking up where Jimmy left off last time, with our Behind the Scenes — Part II. I intend to provide some insights into who I am, what I do, how the development is going, and write out some of my thoughts about the project — in part based on feedback I have received about questions you guys in the community have, and in part based on information that I feel is relevant to you guys as investors in the project. So without further ado, we’ll dive right into it.\nWho am I in Apex Network, and what do I really do?\nFirstly, it’s important to know what exactly my role as CTO of Apex Network really entails. My responsibilities can be summed up as follows;\n1) Setting and designing the short and long term technology strategy for the project — this includes architecture, feasibility, implementation methodologies, and technical-level innovation/ experimentation.\n2) Creating a high quality talent strategy for the tech organization supporting the project, which includes recruitment strategy, training development, and talent incentivization and retention.\n3) Making sure development is delivered in a timely manner while ensuring a level quality and robustness.\nMy workday starts at 9:30 am. On normal days without any special arrangements or meetings planned, the blockchain development team has a progress meeting at 11:00 am. This serves as a daily overview session for briefing and task management. The progress meetings are split into two groups — the blockchain platform group and the applications group (which mainly focuses on the APEX Wallet) — and these meetings will include members of the project management team as well. In the afternoons, there are often project-specific meetings or partner meetings (i.e. AWS, Microsoft, enterprise customers, blockchain projects, etc) that may involve the engineering team.\nIn addition to this, we have a hands-on session focused on testing and resolving specific tech issues 2–3 times per week. These sessions are usually led by me or Rui, one of our head architects for the blockchain division. I personally meet with the management of APEX Network 3–4 times a week, including Jimmy to discuss progress, strategy, and talent management.\nI spend most of my evenings replying to emails, preparing meetings for the next day, reading up on tech news and playing sports.\nAs I am CTO of Apex Technologies as well as Apex Network, some have probably wondered how I manage and divide my time between the two. Firstly, 90% of my time is focused on management, and I would say the remaining 10% I get involved in crunching out some code myself when necessary. Of the time spent on management, roughly 40% of the time is spent on APEX Network and 60% of the time on Apex Technologies. This signifies quite a bit of management put into the blockchain counterpart, as the Apex Technologies engineering team is significantly larger and running much more complex operations as well.\nStaying current on the latest in blockchain tech developments\nFor me personally, one of the most effective ways to keep my knowledge up to date is through regular casual conversations with blockchain technology teams and leaders whom I bump into quite often, especially in the Greater China region and especially at conferences and meetups (I was just at a large one in Shanghai this week). We share insights on development progress and tentative tech plans, albeit technology used and design of the platform could be quite different project-to-project.\nMy engineering team feeds me quite a bit of information on a regular basis as well, as they are involved in day-to-day technical work. We also on a regular basis communicate with respective teams of large organizations using blockchain technology or involved in blockchain infrastructure — this may include infrastructure providers such as Azure, AWS, Oracle, Alicloud, as well as B2C enterprises experimenting with blockchain tech (airlines, automotive companies, etc).\nIn the very little spare time I may have, sometimes I check out the codebase and technical design of the newest infrastructure projects, as well as of projects that have been around for some time, my favorites of which include Lisk, Ontology, and Vechain.\nOne should not underestimate the importance of learning from other blockchain projects around us. When we’re open to learning from our peers, we benefit from their experience as well as our own and we can inherit their knowledge and wisdom.\nThe team I work with\nI know a lot of you have been asking about our team; how many people are on it, what their tasks are, how many are working on a specific area of development etc. So let’s talk about my team a bit.\nCurrently 15 engineers are working in the blockchain division (out of 70 engineers total in the company, Apex Technologies), with 3–4 focused on applications at this moment. There are 6 project management team members in the blockchain division, bringing the entire team at this current time to 21.\nThe lead engineers on the blockchain team mostly come from Alibaba and Tencent, and prior to joining our company they worked in their server infrastructure teams. We also have a couple from enterprise software companies such as EMC, Redhat, and Huawei. Two of the engineers worked at the private blockchain teams of fintech companies (such as Pingan Technology).\nAround half of the engineers on the blockchain team were transferred internally from Apex Technologies to the blockchain division, and the other half are new recruits. Now, our hiring strategy is quite different from typical blockchain projects — we focus on raw foundation (understanding of engineering, systems, architecture), intelligence (learning ability, problem solving ability), and track record at scale (building scalable systems at reputable technology companies) rather than “blockchain experience”, which we in most cases find to be the least valuable.\nI won’t go into detail about the rationale for this, but the gist of it is :\n- The market and technology is at a rather early stage, to the extent that if a candidate claims to have “experience” it probably won’t mean much moving forward. In some cases, some early knowledge and preconceptions may not help developing a new infrastructure project using a different approach and technology than the candidate was previously accustomed to.\n- Especially in China, most candidates on the market looking for blockchain engineering jobs and claiming to have “blockchain experience” are in the low-mid to mid-tier in terms of caliber compared to those from top technology companies. This is a phenomenon that’s relatively easy to explain:\nA) The top engineers already have good pay grade jobs at top technology firms and venture-backed AI/big data/fintech companies — they have no need to go into a riskier field, blockchain, with its crypto-associated stigma.\nB) The typically less qualified engineers, with a bit of self-learned blockchain concepts and knowledge of Solidity, can command much higher salaries than their regular pay grade if they go into blockchain.\n- Engineers with a solid “raw foundation” as described above will be able to pick up blockchain infrastructure development quite easily. Their past experience creating deep-learning models and programming database kernels or telecom protocols may be more challenging work than blockchain engineering.\nOk, that’s enough about who we are — time to talk a little about what we do. What’s going on with the wallet, and particularly with the blockchain we’re developing?\nSo what’s next for the Apex wallet?\nFirstly we’ll be integrating ERC-20 functionality quite soon. After ERC-20 gets implemented, for the wallet we will focus on a couple things:\n- Multi-account and cross-blockchain account management features\n- Features related to the enterprise ecosystem and user consumption (consumer users)\n- In general features and levers that will grow the user base, awareness, and community.\nWhy did we choose our own blockchain vs building on top of Neo, Ethereum, EOS or another existing blockchain?\nI think we’ve justified this question quite a few times in the past. It’s really a needs-driven decision that we came to after receiving feedback from the enterprise users (in large part initially our existing customers) who are the ultimate adopters. They’re not comfortable with building on a public blockchain like Neo, Ethereum or EOS — this is something that most people do not see. Back in Q4 2017, we presented tentative solutions built on NEO and Ethereum to enterprise customers that were willing to experiment with blockchain — they saw no need to build applications on a public blockchain not catered to the use case at hand. In other words, to them it’s not a real “solution” and not “close to delivering value”. On the other hand, a company wanting to build blockchain applications surrounding supply chain use cases will probably find a platform like Vechain helpful.\nWe’ll see more blockchain infrastructure projects spin out of organizations and teams that are experienced with enterprise software and who have a sizable enterprise customer base. These will be the types of teams that can really start to ease adoption in real-world use cases and provide a real “solution” that enterprises can quickly see value in.\nWhy did we choose a mix of Scala and Go for the blockchain and what are the advantages of using these languages?\nA major part of the blockchain will be written in Scala, which is a rather uncommon choice for blockchain projects. The reasoning is as follows:\n- Scala is the most widely used language within Apex Technologies as a company. Simply put, we are experts in the language and have access to talent within the larger engineering team (70+ people) when the blockchain team needs more engineering resources. We are also able to train new recruits easily.\n- Scala is a highly versatile language for enterprise applications surrounding server development, data, artificial intelligence, and middleware. It runs on the highly robust, fast performing, and enterprise-ready JVM (Java Virtual Machine). The runtime speed for certain applications is faster than Java, and much faster than Python and Erlang.\n- It’s a functional programming language that, once mastered, can deliver the same with much less lines of code than languages like Java and C++, implying better productivity.\n- Scala integrates well with Java and Java libraries, which means that once a larger engineering team is needed and when Scala engineers become scarcer, part of the codebase can use Java as well.\nHow is the Testnet development progressing? What are we currently working on and how does GitHub fit into this? …and what about that “code review”?\nFor the blockchain, we are internally testing core modules, including transactions, block production, and consensus. In other words Testnet is on track. Blockchain explorer app development has started, and like I mentioned earlier we are releasing a new version of the Apex Wallet with ERC20 support very soon.\nI’ve heard a lot of talk about GitHub, the amount of code published etc, so it seems prudent to clarify a few things in that regard. First of all; we pretty much never use Github internally to manage our repositories. It was created purely for the purpose of putting some code out there for the community to see. There’s only one person from each team (app + blockchain) intermittently uploading certain parts of code on to Github when he gets around to it. Typically, at any given time, it’s around 80% of the entire codebase that we have.\nIf anyone is wondering — yes, I know about the CryptoBriefing post. I am honestly not sure it really warrants a response, but I hear it’s been a subject of interest in the community after it was published. I did head over to read the article — it’s actually a bit funny. Before I say anything about the contents, a couple of things strike me as quite interesting:\n- The tone of the article is a bit emotionally charged\n- The author’s credentials would only qualify as an entry-level engineer at Apex Technologies\n- The review is far from comprehensive — the author only chose code snippets which he can seemingly negate.\nNow, in the article the author mentioned something along the lines of “copied Bitcoin, but in Scala”. First, Bitcoin is not written in Scala, and did you mean UTXO, a transaction model used by several prominent blockchains other than Bitcoin? And on the consensus — our mistake, the crux of the code had not been updated at the time of the review.\nNevertheless, anyone is welcome to have their own opinion — I would welcome critiques with open arms once Testnet is up and running. For those who are truly interested in reviewing the code at some point, I can confirm that the plan is to make all the code open source and publish it on GitHub after Mainnet has launched. I trust that you will be happy with what you see.\nThat’s it for this post guys. There are lots of things the team is working on these days, really quite exciting times. I have some more thoughts I would like to share with you guys and hope to be able to publish these in a week from now. And yes, we will touch on the nodes!

However, due to information overload, many learners are experiencing difficulties in retrieving useful and relevant learning resources that meet their learning needs. Although existing recommender systems have recorded significant success in e-commerce domain, they still experience drawbacks in making accurate recommendations of learning resources in e-learning domain due to differences in learner characteristics such as learning style, knowledge level as well as learners’ sequential learning patterns. Most of the existing recommendation techniques do not consider differences in learner characteristics. This problem can be alleviated through incorporation of additional information about the learner into the recommendation process. Furthermore, many recommendation techniques experience cold-start and rating sparsity problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid knowledge-based recommender system based on ontology and sequential pattern mining (SPM) for recommendation of e-learning resources to learners. In the proposed recommendation approach, ontology is used to model and represent the domain knowledge about the learner and learning resources whereas SPM algorithm discovers the learners’ sequential learning patterns. Our approach involves four steps: (1) creating ontology to represent knowledge about the learner and learning resources, (2) computing ratings similarity based on ontology domain knowledge and making predictions for the target learner, (3) generation of top N learning items by the collaborative filtering recommendation engine, and (4) application of SPM algorithm to the top N learning items to generate the final recommendations for the target learner. A number of experiments were carried out to evaluate the proposed hybrid recommender system and results show improved performance. Furthermore, the proposed hybrid approach can alleviate both the cold-start and data sparsity problems by making use of ontological domain knowledge and learner’s sequential access pattern respectively before the initial data to work on is available in the recommender system.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Fast application performance is essential to a good user experience, so at TrialGrid we've been careful to provide the best experience that we can. Most activities in TrialGrid are instant, but sometimes a process like uploading an Architect Loader Spreadsheet might take a while. TrialGrid performs tasks like this in the background, so that users aren't blocked while waiting for the process to finish and can work elsewhere in TrialGrid until they are notified that the task has been completed.\nUploading Architect Loader Spreadsheets in the background is useful, but we still want to ensure that they load as fast as possible so that users can start running Diagnostics, assessing Standards Compliance and improving the Study Build. In this post I'll describe how I made TrialGrid's upload process run 5x faster so that even the largest ALS files should load in less than a minute!\nTo measure the hoped-for improvements in performance I used a large Architect Loader Spreadsheet:\nThe ALS file is 84Mb uncompressed and 2Mb when compressed into a zip archive file.\nRunning on my local machine I measured the time to upload the uncompressed test file: 160 seconds\nFor such a large ALS that's not a bad starting point. But lets see if we can do even better....\nStep 1: Eliminate intermediate saves to the database\nOur ALS import process has several steps to create the study in our database, several of which were saving records to the database. For example, for each Edit Check rows would be inserted into database tables for the check itself, its check steps and its actions. In a later step we generated the cql version of the check and saved that to the database. Then we would look at the Step Ordinals and if there were gaps we would renumber them and save those records to the database again (eg. steps with ordinals 1, 4, 8, 10 would be renumbered to 1, 2, 3, 4). Each call to the database is fast, but when you are doing lots of them the time adds up quickly. My first optimization was to only save the records to the database at the end of upload processing, and not save them in the intermediate steps. This reduced the upload time by 20 seconds, to 140 seconds on my local machine.\nStep 2: Fingerprint calculation\nFor our Standards Compliance features we generate a 'fingerprint' for each Form, Field, Data and Unit Dictionary, Edit Check, Derivation and Custom Function. This fingerprint is calculated from the properties of the object which are relevant to Standards Compliance. In the case of Data Dictionaries that's the Data Dictionary Name and then for each entry in the dictionary its User Data String, Coded Value and Specify value. We calculated the fingerprint by generating a YAML representation of the object and then taking the md5 hash value of the YAML representation. We used YAML because we also use that to display differences the version of an object in a Library and in a Project\nHowever YAML is not a particularly efficient structure to generate, so while it's OK to keep it for displaying the differences between 2 versions of an object, it is time-consuming to calculate it for many objects. Switching to a JSON representation of the object and then taking the md5 hash of that reduced the time to upload to 102 seconds.\nStep 3: CQL generation\nFor our Edit Check editor we need to generate the Clinical Query Language (CQL) format of the check from the Rave Check Steps (CQL is TrialGrid's human-readable format for creating Edit Checks). The import process was doing this by reading the newly created Check Steps from the database and then generating the CQL format. But during the import we already have the Check Steps in memory in the import process itself, and by using the in-memory objects the time to upload came down to 82 seconds.\nStep 4: Bulk database updates\nIn Step 1 I moved database saves to the end of processing. However each object was being saved separately, resulting in many thousands of database saves. SQL can perform bulk updates of objects in one statement so by combining updates I could reduce the number of saves to one for each object type (Form, Field, etc). The upload time was now down to 58 seconds.\nStep 5: Database fingerprint functions\nUsing JSON in place of YAML in Step 2 helped reduce upload time, but I felt we could go further by moving the fingerprint calculation into the database, using database functions. While there are arguments against placing business logic in the database, the fingerprint calculation isn't business logic in itself - it is used to assess Standards Compliance between objects, but calculating the fingerprint is something we want to happen every time an object is created or updated, so placing it in the database makes sense. It helps with performance because of data locality - the processing and data are co-located.\nThis step was the most complicated to work through, but with good results: upload time down to 23.5 seconds!\nThe steps above showed that on my local development machine the time to upload this large ALS was slashed from 160 seconds to 23.5 seconds. But now I needed to prove that in the real-world deployment of TrialGrid we would see similar results. The baseline measurement on our beta site for loading the uncompressed, 84Mb, file into TrialGrid was 180 seconds - a little longer than on my local machine because of the time taken to transfer the file over the network. After deploying the optimized code the same upload was only 38 seconds, a huge improvement. Finally I tested uploading the compressed version, which took 27 seconds - faster again because less data needed to be transferred over the network.\nWe were delighted with these results and they're now live on our beta site. Uploading Architect Loader Spreadsheets has never been faster!\nInterested in finding out more?

Modern vehicles are equipped with a host of ECUs that perform various automations, such as controlling engine functions, regulating braking behavior, monitoring air conditioning, and the like, to safeguard the vehicle and offer a better driving experience.\nMillions of lines of software code are written to drive these features, and it is becoming imperative to have HCPs (high-performance computing platforms), which will enable significantly more computing power to be integrated into an ECU and better test and governance processes.\nEntertainment systems, navigation, and other innovative solutions are increasingly getting added on, making software take over many critical in-car tasks for future mobility, with autonomy, connectivity, over-the-air (OTA) updates, edge computing, drive-by-wire (XBW), and other novel attributes.\nThe automotive industry's conventional software development processes pose challenges for such advanced innovations, with enormous costs of integration in addition to feature upgrades, frequent result feedback loops, adaptability to changing requirements, faster turn-around time, bulletproof reliability and performance, data privacy, and cybersecurity expected by customers.\nSituations like non-deployment of airbags in crash situations due to hacking have given auto OEMs a tough time with recalls, and fixing vulnerability issues etc., is common.\nHow DevOps brings in agility\n- 1. Shifting from traditional V-model\nThe automotive industry traditionally uses V-model product development cycles with minimal feedback loops due to sequential testing phases and limited collaboration, especially in HW/SW integration, importing legacy or manual code, and SIL-HIL phases.\nThe process lacks adaptability to changing requirements, making it less efficient in handling dynamic software development needs. Its sequential phases are rigid, leading to longer time-to-market.\nUsing agile methods, wherever possible, is the way to go. The agile process is based on small development steps whose results can be checked in frequent feedback rounds. Individual teams have a great deal of freedom and work closely, supporting collaboration.\nThe combination of DevOps paired with agile approaches software as an ever-changing realm and is suited to dynamically changing extraneous factors such as user expectations, environments, and security challenges. Tools like Jira, Azure Board, etc., can be effectively used for this purpose.\n- 2. Automate processes where possible\nDevOps for automotive SW faces unique challenges due to the complex testing matrix, deployment processes, and strict safety, regulations, and compliance rules associated with the auto industry.\nContinuous Integration (CI) that involves automated build, test, and integrate code changes into a shared repository, followed by Continuous Delivery (CD), a practice that extends CI by automatically deploying code changes to staging or pre-production environments, enables the industry to accelerate releases while ensuring security and mitigating the risk of failed/recalled software releases.\nLeveraging practices such as microservices architecture, where software code is developed as a continuum of small services and integrated together, infrastructure-as-code whereby scripts are used to automatically set up a specific configuration of the environment for implementation, monitoring and checks for application performance and data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity helps speed up the release cycles.\nWhen each OEM and Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers want to independently cross-verify the HW/SW combination, testing challenges arise. A combined strategy to distribute the scope of work and better utilization of test automation setups at OEM, Tier 1, and Tier 2 supplier locations clearly eases the process.\nThe DevOps continuous feedback mode helps get feedback from the customers based on their real-world usage, specific inputs from different stakeholders, and data analytics of usage for continuous improvement and better design for the next set of changes. The CF mode closes the loop, feeding back data and analytics from the Operate and Monitor phases back into the Plan phase to start over the development cycle.\nTools like Jenkins and Azure DevOps are used to create complete SDLC automation pipelines stitching other independent automated phases and defining appropriate quality gates.\n- 3. Encourage collaboration between cross-functional teams\nWith CI/CD and CF in place, DevOps accelerates the SW development process and reduces the time-to-market by breaking down silos within an organization and utilizing cross-functional teams more effectively.\nThe DevOps methodology benefits auto OEMs and suppliers with faster time-to-market, continuous product quality improvement, increased productivity, higher reliability, happier customers, lower development costs, and faster experimentation of SW changes/new feature additions.\nCommon messaging apps like Slack or Teams can serve as chatOps where teams can communicate and collaborate.\nDevOps case studies\nUber: Continuous delivery and DevOps methods helped Uber to scale and deliver great features like:\n- 1000s of microservices\n- 10000+ deployments per day\n- 1000s builds per day\n- 100k+ service containers per cluster\n- 1m batch containers per day\nTesla and driverless cars: Tesla’s autonomous system has drawn attention in the automotive industry due to its over-the-air update functionality. It is a liquid software that delivers a competitive edge in the modern autonomous vehicle era.\nDriving Forward: DevOps Unleashes a Future of Safer, Seamless, Faster and Autonomous Automotive Innovation\nOEMs often experience challenges when there is a recall, as it is associated with expenses and revenue losses due to software glitches. With time the situation gets even more complex when more and more software gets added as feature addons requiring compliance with new regulations. Customers have been demanding and expecting new features and automatic updates in vehicles, but with quality and safety assurance. The philosophy of DevOps, with continuous integration and continuous delivery, is the need of the hour, with regular/automatic liquid software over-the-air updates, leveraging 5G networks and advances in cloud computing. With a disciplined DevOps ecosystem, OEMs will have the opportunity to fix bugs remotely with little or no recalls, provide enhanced user experience to the customers, and realize the transition to fully autonomous vehicles sooner than later.\nAbout the Author\nSaurov is a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience driving digital transformation and software innovation.

Because there is still this struggle, a company like Tanium came along.\nTanium is not a product, it's a communication platform with immense power and flexibility, and frankly plays equally well in IT operations and even IT security. The size of your network doesn't even matter. It actually performs faster the bigger the environment.\nDon't believe me? Take a look at these use cases.\nOnce you have chosen your cloud provider and have identified the right applications to migrate to the cloud, Tanium can help identify and close vulnerabilities within your applications before initiating the actual migration. Then, once your application is in the cloud, you can implement a strategy that promotes security for ongoing operations across your chosen cloud provider.\nUse Tanium to uniquely query for and produce detailed inventory information for every asset within an enterprise environment – from employee workstations to remote data centers, branch location servers, virtual machines or assets in the cloud – in just seconds. Gather any attribute, including but not limited to the name, manufacturer, model, CPU, MAC address, RAM and disk space details.\nWWT and Tanium avoid the traditional methods of booting and imaging PCs typically involved in Windows migrations. With no reliance on USB or PXE, we provide an automated and proven zero touch migration path to Windows 10 that's conducted remotely to avoid disruptions to your day-to-day operations or ongoing missions.\nFor example, Tanium inventories hardware and software prior to an upgrade, it distributes our CPmigrator package and initiates the upgrade. WWT's CPMigrator automates the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and re/installs the CMT agent. Finally, Tanium performs a post-Windows 10 hardware/software validation and begins managing the endpoint. Organizations then gain more speed and scale and less risk and costs.\nWhile Tanium packs a punch all by itself, its ability to play well with others is equally impressive. If your organization has already made investments in Cisco, Splunk, Palo Alto, Phantom Cyber or FireEye, Tanium can integrate seamlessly and help optimize your investments.\nAnd in case you still don't believe me, here's some more use cases.\nThrough Tanium Connect, an organization can establish bi-directional communication between Tanium and Splunk. Once the connection is made, Tanium can populate dashboard information within Splunk as well as detection alerts. Splunk can also issue calls to Tanium when response is necessary.\nWhen Palo Alto detects a breach, it can directly trigger Tanium to search and remediate repeat offenders almost instantly across the entire organization.\nFrom a Cisco perspective, it is easy to demonstrate a detect and quarantine scenario. Tanium detects a malware hash on an endpoint and then quarantines that same endpoint into a safe network by Cisco Identity Services Engine. This piece can also be done using a security automation platform to create IOCs based on input from other Cisco solutions such as OpenDNS. Using OpenDNS, you can easily engage Tanium to search and remediate hundreds of thousands of endpoints in seconds. You can even perform a simple Tanium patch resolution with a Cisco detection product like Firepower or AMP for Endpoints.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "The best VPN for torrenting is one that offers a no-logs plan, powerful security, and a great ad-blocker. In addition, it includes a eliminate switch to prevent torrent clients coming from accessing the web if your VPN disconnects. It also offers DNS leak safeguards and webRTC https://alicehopper.review/ drip protection. This VPN also has a free one-day trial and a 45-day money-back guarantee.\nNordVPN is a good decision for torrenters. It has a stern no-logs policy and has passed two security audits. It also has a flexible kill switch — you can permit it for the whole network or just certain programs – and full outflow protection. It also allows you to use SOCKS5 proxies for torrenting. Nevertheless , it does not have port forwarding.\nPrivate Net Access offers 256-bit encryption and AES-128-bit encryption. AES-128-bit encryption is better for the purpose of speed and security, but you can also use 128-bit encryption. This can boost your down load speed, however it may require port forwarding. Likewise, it’s possible to make use of WireGuard instead of OpenVPN. An additional feature that PIA provides is split-tunneling, which enables you to access different websites from the same IP address.\nAlthough many VPNs possess a variety of protocols, WireGuard is among the fastest. Moreover, it offers unrestricted data. You may also choose to use it is SOCKS5 proxy, which is more quickly than other protocols. Furthermore, that supports split-tunneling, which is beneficial when torrenting on mobile phones. Another important characteristic that makes it a great torrenting VPN is it is built-in ant-virus, which protects torrenting traffic.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "The number of devices that can push 4K video right now is pretty much limited to two: A PC or Sony’s brand-locked streaming box. So with a pile of 4K televisions scheduled to debut at CES 2014 in a few weeks, the question is still: Where’s the content?Amazon has tossed their hat into the ring, and upstart NanoTech has a box they’ll be showing that one day may stream Netflix at 4k resolution. But with the second season of House of Cards nigh, how will we see it in all its 4K glory?\nNetflix says it will embed 4K players right into 4K television sets. Because DRM hasn’t been locked down yet for 4K media and HDMI 2.0 is a moving target, streaming makes sense. While software players for consoles like the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 are still possible, it’s looking more and more likely that we’re going to have a few more years of experimentation before those really become a reality. Until more sophisticated solutions are available, these embedded players should get the job done. According to Stuff, it will be accomplished via HEVC:\nHEVC – or High Efficiency Video Coding – is a new compression format that can purportedly provide similar quality to the current H.264 compression standard at half the bitrate. Or, in the case of 4K streaming, provide a higher-resolution picture without a substantial step up in bitrate.\nExpect announcements of CE partners and programming in a few weeks at CES.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "I've been having synchronisation issues with .Mac services recently related to my iCal calendars.

Confirm that your computer's data is valid, then reset Calendars on .Mac in System Preferences.\"\nFair enough. But it didn't solve the problem. Sync still wowed. I restored a backup copy of my calendars, and that didn't do the trick either. I restored a backup copy of another of my computers. That failed too. This was becoming irritating to say the less. At this point, the synchronisation was running on an hourly basis, but the calendars weren't being synched, and I wasn't being told.\nTo cut a long and boring story short, here's a workaround that worked for me: you need to start fresh again - really fresh. Wiping out all traces of previous synchronisations, caches, etc. Apparently there was some kind of discrepency in my SyncServer cache. Meaning I had to:\n- Quit all applications that use .Mac (Address Book, iCal, iSync, Mail, Safari);\n- Turn off .Mac syncing and unregister all computers in System Preferences;\n- Issue the following commands from the terminal:\nkillall SyncServer cd ~/Library/Application\\ Support mv SyncServices SyncServices-old killall SystemUIServer\n- Turn on .Mac syncing in System Preferences and click \"Sync Now\".\n- When a dialog appears asking whether to merge or replace data on .Mac, select replace all data on .Mac with data from the computer.\nYou need to perform this on all your registered computers synching on .Mac except point #5: replace your local data with the fresh copy you just uploaded.

This product fills an important niche in the market and provides users with an excellently priced large storage NAS. Before this, Thecus was already known for innovative and powerful appliances such as the N8800SAS with SAS support and heavy-loaded hardware. With the N8900, they've decided to go one step further in performance and provide a state of the art NAS device for the most demanding users: USB3.0, HDMI output, and 10 GB Ethernet compatibility are only some of the key features included. Let's have a closer look.\nPowerful hardware for superior performance\nAs part of the latest generation of leading CPUs on the market, the Intel Core i3-2120 processor integrates 2 cores at 3.3 GHz to match the N8900's no less than 8 GB of DDR3 memory. Fast RAID operations, multitasking, reactive virtualized environments, application serving, and more; anything your business needs.\nTo maximize your data safety, the N8900 benefits from a unique Thecus feature\nDual DOM design. The DOM (Disk On Module) is the equivalent of the BIOS on a computer: if it fails or gets corrupted for any reason, all your data can be lost forever. Thanks to Thecus Dual DOM design, there is a second DOM ready to replace or reprogram the first one. In this way, Thecus has reduced DOM failures by 67%!\nA design focused on flexibility\nThe N8900 also embeds what's best for connectivity: two USB 3.0 ports, audio output/input, and an HDMI connection. Those will also give users even more possibilities when writing their own modules thanks to the brand new Thecus software developer kit.\n10 GbE ready\nHigh-end data centers often need a level of speed that today's average Internet cannot provide. This Thecus NAS is 10 GB Ethernet ready to satisfy the toughest needs of today and tomorrow.\nUSB 3.0 connectivity\nThe next generation of connectivity is here with speeds 10x faster than USB 2.0. Whether connecting digital cameras and smart phones, backing up large external hard drives, or extending the capacity of your NAS, USB 3.0 will make sure it's done in no time at up to 5 Gbit/s. Backwards compatibility adds the connectivity of a world full of USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices to get the best combination of speed and universal access.\nAcronis true image\nThecus brings the best to the table with Acronis's advanced backup software. Back up all your data with One-click Protection or pick and choose only your most important files. Acronis sports a slick interface, user-friendly design, and comprehensive features to keep your data safe.\nA Disk On Module (DOM) contains all of the system's critical software. If it stops working for any reason, your system firmware could be inaccessible - or worse. With Thecus' unique Dual DOM (OS Redundancy) design, a secondary DOM automatically reprograms the primary DOM if it fails, meaning your data is always safe and accessible.\nWhen it comes to data management, Thecus NAS truly let you have it your way. Create multiple RAID volumes each supporting different RAID modes including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10,50, 60 and JBOD for your own balance of performance and data protection. Should a hard drive malfunction occur, changing one is simple thanks to online RAID migration and expansion, hot spare, and auto rebuild.\nMultiple file systems\nSupport for multiple file systems including Ext3, EXT4, and XFS, gives Thecus NAS flexibility to handle many different types of environments. Users can simultaneously use different file systems across multiple RAID volumes to get the best of each one.\nGet the most out of your storage space with the extreme speed of iSCSI and the efficiency of iSCSI thin provisioning. Connect through iSCSI for the fastest data transfer speeds available and make wasted disk space a thing of the past with thin provisioning's flexible storage functionality.\nIn the modern world, nothing is as important as reaching your data from anywhere. With ThecusShare and the Thecus dashboard, you can manage your NAS, and upload to and download/stream from your NAS using an iOS or Android device on the go.\nBacking up your data is very necessary, and everyone has specific needs when it comes to storage. Thecus's Rsync functionality gives users great flexibility with remote backup capability, a flexible scheduler, and the stability of Linux-based transfer.\nDivide the massive storage of a Thecus NAS among multiple users. Whether there are two users or 100, user quotas make it easy to divvy up and manage disk space.\nPCI-e slotProduct Highlights\nThecus NAS products are ready for a number of emerging technologies. Through the built in PCI-e slot, business users can add a 10 G Ethernet Adapter for lighting fast transfer speeds, or a USB 3.0 adapter card to enjoy next-generation connectivity.\nIn The Box\n- 2nd Generation Intel Core i3\n- Ultra-fast SATA III and SAS 6 G\n- HDMI connectivity\n- Thecus Technology N8900", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Set up in iPayroll\n- Go to Setup > Interfaces\n- Select Enable\nYou have now enabled iPayroll to automatically accept the export from WorkflowMax.

It's really the versioning of it, the reusability of the code, and the ability to then do automation on top of it that makes it special.\nCloudLogic uses Ansible to automate configuration management, orchestration, application deployment, cloud provisioning, and a number of other IT requirements. Ansible is used for configuration deployment which helps in making changes in newly-deployed machines and reconfigure them. CloudLogic allows users to manage and control the multi-tier deployments in a secure manner. It also helps them with collaboration tools so that the team members can be informed using email and Slack with integrated notifications.\nCloudLogic uses Chef for flexible IT automation which uses recipes in the form of instructions for web-server configuration, databases, and load balancers. The recipes in Chef define the components in the infrastructure and how those components can be deployed, configured and managed. The configuration policy of Chef allows users to define infrastructure as code. Its development tools can test configuration updates on workstations, development infrastructure, and cloud instances. Chef packages the configurations into JSON files called cookbooks, and runs the software in client-server mode (Chef-server) and Chef-solo.\nCloudLogic uses Puppet using which developers and operations teams can securely deliver and operate software (infrastructure, applications) anywhere. It enables users to understand and act on the changes that take place in applications along with the in-depth reports and real-time alerts. Users can identify those changes, and remediate the issues. The infrastructure is treated as a code by Puppet, which helps in easier reviewing and testing of configurations across all the environments-development, test, and production.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Latent Factor Model (LFM) is one of the most successful methods for Collaborative filtering (CF) in the recommendation system, in which both users and items are projected into a joint latent factor space. Base on matrix factorization applied usually in pattern recognition, LFM models user-item interactions as inner products of factor vectors of user and item in that space and can be efficiently solved by least square methods with optimal estimation. However, such optimal estimation methods are prone to overfitting due to the extreme sparsity of user-item interactions. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian treatment for LFM, named Bayesian Latent Factor Model (BLFM). Based on observed user-item interactions, we build a probabilistic factor model in which the regularization is introduced via placing prior constraint on latent factors, and the likelihood function is established over observations and parameters. Then we draw samples of latent factors from the posterior distribution with Variational Inference (VI) to predict expected value. We further make an extension to BLFM, called BLFMBias, incorporating user-dependent and item-dependent biases into the model for enhancing performance.

By default the plane is rectangular, but it can be sheared so that its shape becomes a parallelogram. The plane can be textured just like any other object, and can also be displaced.\nIn order to help you size and orient the plane in the 3D Preview pane, the plane object’s A edge is drawn in orange and its B edge is drawn in magenta, while its other two edges are drawn as dashed lines to complete the bounding box. If you can see the edges of the plane in the preview, but not the plane itself, then you’re viewing the plane from “behind”.\nYou orient the plane by setting the direction of two of its edges, using the Edge vector a and Edge vector b parameters. By pointing those edges in the desired direction you control the way the plane faces.\nBelow are some common orientations of the plane object.\n- Name: This setting allows you to apply a descriptive name to the node, which can be helpful when using multiple Plane nodes in a project.\n- Enable: When checked, the node is active and the Plane object will appear in the scene with the settings below applied to its surface. When unchecked, the node is ignored.\n- Render: An object's render state can be set to Visible, Invisible or Holdout. When set to Holdout, an object is visible in the rendered image as a black shape with an alpha value of zero. When using render layers the object's render state is combined with the group visibility parameter to determine its least visible setting. Invisible is less visible than Holdout, which is less visible than Visible.\n- Visible to other rays: When enabled, the plane object will be taken into account by all the rays determined by the renderer including those from the camera, direct and indirect lighting, etc. In the example below, a 100% reflective 3D object has been placed behind three coloured spheres in order to mirror the effect of the calculated rays.\n- Cast shadow: When checked, the plane object will cast shadows.\n- Center: This setting defines the position of the centre of the plane object.\n- Length a: This setting defines the length, in metres, of the orange coloured A edge.\n- Length b: This setting defines the length, in metres, of the magenta coloured B edge.\n- Edge vector a: This setting defines the direction of the orange coloured A edge. A value of 1 in any of the axis input boxes means that the edge is fully pointing along that axis. Values less than 1 mean that the edge is pointing in a percentage of that direction along that axis. When the two edge vectors are at right angles to each other the plane will be rectangular. You can shear the plane into a parallelogram shape by changing the edge vectors so that they are no longer at right angles.\n- Edge vector b: This setting defines the direction of the magenta coloured B edge. A value of 1 in any of the axis input boxes means that the edge is fully pointing along that axis. Values less than 1 mean that the edge is pointing in a percentage of that direction along that axis. When the two edge vectors are at right angles to each other the plane will be rectangular. You can shear the plane into a parallelogram shape by changing the edge vectors so that they are no longer at right angles.\n- Surface shader: Use this setting to assign a surface shader to the plane object. The surface of the plane object is displaceable.\n- Displacement Tolerance: Displacement tolerance: If you find that rough or spikey surfaces are showing problems at bucket edges, for example spikes having cut off tops, or gaps in ray traced shadows then increasing this value may help. However this can greatly increase render times. Relatively flat surfaces may render more quickly with smaller values. The default value is 1. However this is an advanced setting and you should not change it unless you have specific problem you need to address. If you are having problems try starting with 2 and then increase it by small increments until they're resolved. A value of 4 would be considered a high value.\n- Render method: This popup has three options.\nDefault: Ray Tracing is the default rendering method for an object. Typically it results in higher quality and faster rendering. When displacement is applied to a 3D object the render method should be changed to Force Displacement. When the object's render method is set to Default, the object is rendered according to the Ray trace objects setting in the render node.\nForce Displacement: When enabled for the plane object, its surfaces will be subdivided into micropolygons at render time, which allows the 3D geometry to be displaced correctly but at the expense of slightly longer render times. It is useful when you have some objects you want to render with displacement but you don't want to change how all the rest of your objects are rendered, i.e. Ray traced.\nForce Ray Trace: When enabled for the plane object, its surfaces will be ray traced at render time, even if Ray trace objects is disabled in the Renderer settings. This can be useful when Ray trace objects is disabled in the Renderer in order for other 3D objects to use displacement, but you want this object to use ray tracing for the highest quality rendering and it has not been displaced.\n- Sorting bias (metres): This setting gives you control over the order in which objects are rendered when using the micropolygon renderer. This does not apply to objects being rendered with the ray tracer. A large positive value, e.g. 10,000,000 (or 1e7) will usually force the object to render first. A large negative value, e.g. -10,000,000 (or -1e7) will usually force the object to render last, or after the terrain. This can be useful when rendering large objects with displacement, such as a lake object that lies mostly below the displaced terrain. By setting the lake object’s Sorting bias (metres) value to something like -10,000,000 forces it to render after the terrain.\nThe bounding box is a box which surrounds (or bounds) an object or shader. This box shows the maximum extents of the item inside it. Sometimes abbreviated as \"b-box\".\nA vector is a set of three scalars, normally representing X, Y and Z coordinates. It also commonly represents rotation, where the values are pitch, heading and bank.\nA single object or device in the node network which generates or modifies data and may accept input data or create output data or both, depending on its function. Nodes usually have their own settings which control the data they create or how they modify data passing through them. Nodes are connected together in a network to perform work in a network-based user interface. In Terragen 2 nodes are connected together to describe a scene.\nA parameter is an individual setting in a node parameter view which controls some aspect of the node.\nA shader is a program or set of instructions used in 3D computer graphics to determine the final surface properties of an object or image. This can include arbitrarily complex descriptions of light absorption and diffusion, texture mapping, reflection and refraction, shadowing, surface displacement and post-processing effects. In Terragen 2 shaders are used to construct and modify almost every element of a scene.\nWhen Terragen renders, it divides the image up into buckets or tiles. Each bucket is rendered separately, allowing multiple buckets to be rendered at once. It also allows memory to be used more efficiently.\nLiterally, to change the position of something. In graphics terminology to displace a surface is to modify its geometric (3D) structure using reference data of some kind. For example, a grayscale image might be taken as input, with black areas indicating no displacement of the surface, and white indicating maximum displacement. In Terragen 2 displacement is used to create all terrain by taking heightfield or procedural data as input and using it to displace the normally flat sphere of the planet.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Saumy007, 02 Jul 2015Hey!

In a network where stations are randomly and homogeneously located in the Euclidean plane, there is a way to tune the bias of the coin so as to obtain the best possible compromise between spatial reuse and per transmitter throughput. This paper shows how to address this questions using stochastic geometry and more precisely Poisson shot noise field theory. The theory that is developed is fully computational and leads to new closed form expressions for various kinds of spatial averages (like e.g. outage, throughput or transport). It also allows one to derive general scaling laws that hold for general fading assumptions. We exemplify its flexibility by analyzing a natural variant of Spatial Aloha that we call Opportunistic Aloha and that consists in replacing the coin tossing by an evaluation of the quality of the channel of each station to its receiver and a selection of the stations with good channels (e.g. fading) conditions. We show how to adapt the general machinery to this variant and how to optimize and implement it. We show that when properly tuned, Opportunistic Aloha very significantly outperforms Spatial Aloha, with e.g. a mean throughput per unit area twice higher for Rayleigh fading scenarios with typical parameters.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "Rockstar has been slowly but surely re introducing its older games from the series back into the market by way of mobile.

The use of digital marketing in the digital era not only allows for brands to market their products and services, but also allows for online customer support through 24/7 services to make customers feel supported and valued. The use of social media interaction allows brands to receive both positive and negative feedback from their customers as well as determining what media platforms work well for them. As such, digital marketing has become an increased advantage for brands and businesses. It is now common for consumers to post feedback online through social media sources, blogs and websites on their experience with a product or brand. It has become increasingly popular for businesses to use and encourage these conversations through their social media channels to have direct contact with the customers and manage the feedback they receive appropriately.\nAdvertisers may also deliver ads based on a user's suspected geography through geotargeting. A user's IP address communicates some geographic information (at minimum, the user's country or general region). The geographic information from an IP can be supplemented and refined with other proxies or information to narrow the range of possible locations. For example, with mobile devices, advertisers can sometimes use a phone's GPS receiver or the location of nearby mobile towers. Cookies and other persistent data on a user's machine may provide help narrowing a user's location further.\nThe ad exchange puts the offer out for bid to demand-side platforms. Demand side platforms act on behalf of ad agencies, who sell ads which advertise brands. Demand side platforms thus have ads ready to display, and are searching for users to view them. Bidders get the information about the user ready to view the ad, and decide, based on that information, how much to offer to buy the ad space. According to the Internet Advertising Bureau, a demand side platform has 10 milliseconds to respond to an offer. The ad exchange picks the winning bid and informs both parties.\nWhat are the objectives of integrated marketing communications\nSocial Media Marketing - The term 'Digital Marketing' has a number of marketing facets as it supports different channels used in and among these, comes the Social Media. When we use social media channels ( Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+, etc.) to market a product or service, the strategy is called Social Media Marketing. It is a procedure wherein strategies are made and executed to draw in traffic for a website or to gain attention of buyers over the web using different social media platforms.\nAn omni-channel approach not only benefits consumers but also benefits business bottom line: Research suggests that customers spend more than double when purchasing through an omni-channel retailer as opposed to a single-channel retailer, and are often more loyal. This could be due to the ease of purchase and the wider availability of products.\nHow do you price an online course\nSimply great and agree with your all subject...! I like the way you explained.

Thank you.\nIn-game advertising - In-Game advertising is defined as \"inclusion of products or brands within a digital game.\" The game allows brands or products to place ads within their game, either in a subtle manner or in the form of an advertisement banner. There are many factors that exist in whether brands are successful in their advertising of their brand/product, these being: Type of game, technical platform, 3-D and 4-D technology, game genre, congruity of brand and game, prominence of advertising within the game. Individual factors consist of attitudes towards placement advertisements, game involvement, product involvement, flow or entertainment. The attitude towards the advertising also takes into account not only the message shown but also the attitude towards the game. Dependent of how enjoyable the game is will determine how the brand is perceived, meaning if the game isn't very enjoyable the consumer may subconsciously have a negative attitude towards the brand/product being advertised. In terms of Integrated Marketing Communication \"integration of advertising in digital games into the general advertising, communication, and marketing strategy of the firm\" is an important as it results in a more clarity about the brand/product and creates a larger overall effect.\nWhat jobs can you do from home\nAlternatively, ad space may be offered for sale in a bidding market using an ad exchange and real-time bidding. This involves many parties interacting automatically in real time. In response to a request from the user's browser, the publisher content server sends the web page content to the user's browser over the Internet. The page does not yet contain ads, but contains links which cause the user's browser to connect to the publisher ad server to request that the spaces left for ads be filled in with ads.

The release was made to.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "By offering rapid, perturbation-free, volumetric imaging capable of following both cellular- and nodular-level photodynamic therapy responses, OCT is a natural partner for imaging, understanding, and optimizing PDT. This is especially true for in vitro applications, where the resolution, depth range, scanning speed, and longitudinal capabilities of OCT facilitate new studies that can directly probe therapeutic responses deep inside complex 3D model systems. The studies presented and discussed in this review are only the first steps in utilizing these abilities for the selection and optimization of PDT regimens, with many more exciting opportunities waiting to be explored.\nEfforts are underway to expand the capabilities of OCT by creating a robust image analysis toolkit that can mine high-resolution data for four-dimensional analysis. Specifically, routines must be developed that can identify key cellular and nodular events, and track the evolution of such events over long periods of time. Three-dimensional image segmentation algorithms must be developed to identify and quantify in vitro model factors, including volume, shape, growth rate, scattering intensity, and fragmentation, to name a few. These tools must include the ability to track cellular fate over the entire time-lapse experiment, including cellular migration following treatment. As seen above, the patterns of treatment response are highly dependent on the agent used, its concentration, uptake rate, and localization in tissue. Analysis routines must be developed to track treatment response patterns and make early predictions regarding treatment response. These routines can be applied for real-time analysis during data acquisition. High-throughput, high-content screening applications are likely a future use of OCT and TL-OCT systems, especially when used alongside increasingly relevant in vitro model systems. As mentioned earlier, TL-OCT is entirely compatible with multiwell culture systems where tens or hundreds of separate experiments can be plated and run simultaneously. While current studies investigating tumor response use similar methods, multiplex TL-OCT measurements would allow for the tracking of the natural history of 3D model treatment response for quantitative analysis.\nThis will be especially important for the optimization of PDT and PDT combination treatment approaches in the future. Combining the precise spatiotemporal knowledge gained through OCT with simultaneously acquired images or measurements of molecular responses would open the door to new intervention strategies. A multiplexed TL-OCT imaging platform combined with automated media collection and analysis, for example, would allow for the exploration and temporal mapping of numerous simultaneous factors to find time periods of peak sensitivity for combination therapeutic regimens.\nWhile this review has focused on the use of OCT in the visualization of in vitro\nculture systems, there are numerous means of extracting and culturing live tissues ex vivo\n. Such approaches have several advantages over creating complex in vitro\nmodels, most importantly that the tissue of interest can be harvested to preserve the original tissue architecture with its numerous differentiated cell types.\nThese live culture approaches provide an even more biologically relevant ex vivo\nsystem than in vitro\nmodels, especially for tissues not normally accessible for long-term high-resolution monitoring. OCT and TL-OCT are highly advantageous for imaging and following these large, complex models, especially for monitoring therapy. Tissue engineering experiments and bioreactor work would also benefit from the longitudinal, 3D, non-perturbative imaging capabilities of OCT.\nConsiderable work has been done in the field of OCT to improve equipment and detection schemes, aiming to boost image resolution and depth in order to obtain more detailed tissue structural information. The TL-OCT system used in the studies described here made use of older SD-OCT configurations optimized to provide long-term stability. Newer OCT technologies have since been developed and commercialized, enabling a new generation of long-term OCT acquisition tools. Swept-source OCT systems have advantages over fixed bandwidth systems, as they offer much improved spectral detection, enabling deeper imaging and oversampling for improved signal-to-noise contrast. Swept-source approaches used to be restricted to low bandwidths and thus had poor (>5 μm) axial imaging resolutions. Newer swept-source light sources can now achieve greater than 100 nm of bandwidth, opening the door for clearer, deeper TL-OCT imaging.\nDeeper imaging can also be achieved by moving to longer wavelengths of light that are less attenuated by tissue. OCT systems operating at 1040 nm,\nand now 1700 nm\ncan reach increasingly deeper into biological tissue, though the resolution of some of these systems is still too low for many cellular-level imaging applications. Of great interest for future TL-OCT designs has been the recent creation of highly stable μOCT systems using extremely broadband light for submicron imaging resolutions.\nFurthermore, integration of advanced Doppler capabilities into TL-OCT will likely aid in the study of therapeutic effects, especially in advanced 3D cultures incorporating artificial vasculature.\nA potential downside to OCT is its restriction to structural imaging. Unlike approaches that possess molecular sensitivity, such as multiphoton fluorescence microscopy and photoacoustic tomography, standard OCT systems are restricted to scattering-based contrast only. Several innovations, particularly by Boppart and colleagues,\nmight open the door to functional OCT with molecular sensitivity. Magnetic bead approaches,\nand plasmonically-resonant targeted-nanoparticles,\nare potential methods for enabling molecular sensitivity deep within 3D cultures for improved longitudinal therapeutic monitoring.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "The Best Way to Find a $3,000 Paycheck with Google!\nOne of the most popular search engines in the world is Google.

In contrast to side channels introduced at the source code level, JIT-induced side channels arise at runtime due to the behavior of just-in-time (JIT) compilation.

ChartRequest’s Full-Service ROI can help! We’re not only participating in the health information exchange arena; we’re redefining it. Our goal is to completely transform the way you handle, exchange, and protect medical records.\nSpeed is the name of the game in medical record retrieval, and we’re playing to win. With ChartRequest, you can expect lightning-fast results, often within a 1-2 business days. This is all backed by our 5-day turnaround guarantee.\nBut don’t think we’re just about speed. Our service is built on a foundation of ironclad security and unwavering compliance. We strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations at every turn.\nIf you’re looking to offload the burden and let a team of seasoned ROI professionals take the wheel, our Full-Service partnership is your ticket. Sit back, focus on your core responsibilities, and let us handle the rest.\nUncover the ins and outs of a Full-Service ChartRequest partnership in this article. We’ll lay out the pros and cons to help you make an informed choice for your facility’s ROI needs.\nThe Evolution of Health Information Exchange\nLet’s look back and explore the evolution of health information exchange (HIE). It’s quite a story. In the early days, exchanging medical records was like trudging through mud, thanks to those clunky, paper-based systems. Slow, error-prone, and a bit of a mess. It was the kind of process that could delay patient care and up the ante on data breach risks.\nBut then, things started to change. Enter the era of electronic medical record (EMR) systems. This wasn’t a small step; it was a giant leap for healthcare providers. Imagine trading those dusty file cabinets and noisy fax machines for something digital, and organized. EMRs didn’t just make life easier; they transformed the game.\nThese systems brought a new level of efficiency and accuracy to patient information. It was like a dream come true for healthcare providers, offering easy access to the kind of data that could make a difference in clinical decisions.\nThanks to the ARRA provision, clinics and hospitals got a nudge to hop on the EMR bandwagon. By 2016, a solid 72% of ophthalmology practices joined and integrated EMR systems into their daily grind.\nBut let’s be real, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.\nThe Challenges of Health Information Exchange\nMeshing EMR systems across different healthcare providers was a bit like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. Compatibility and interoperability issues were only the tip of the iceberg.\nThis shift led to some pretty hefty data silos. It made sharing of patient data feel like climbing a mountain. And let’s not forget the ever-looming HIPAA regulations, where one wrong move could cost you big time.\nDespite these hurdles, the healthcare industry kept pushing forward. This persistence led to the development of advanced release of information solutions. These platforms have taken HIE to a whole new level, allowing EMRs to release records securely and quickly.\nNowadays, HIE isn’t just about passing along patient data. With ROI solutions like ChartRequest, it’s a speedy, secure, and regulation-compliant process. This journey, filled with its fair share of bumps and challenges, is a testament to the healthcare industry’s commitment to constant innovation.\nIt’s a story of how far we’ve come and a hint at the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.\nUnderstanding ChartRequest Full-Service ROI Partnership\nNot every healthcare provider has a team of HIPAA-trained ROI experts at their disposal. Nor the bandwidth to adopt a new healthcare technology.\nThat’s where a Full-Service release of information partnership with ChartRequest comes in.\nA Full-Service partnership means having a dedicated team of experts at your beck and call. We take care of every little detail in the medical record release process. This makes it perfect for healthcare facilities that want to hand over this intricate obligation to those who know it inside out.\nLet’s break down what this means, especially when you team up with ChartRequest:\nComplete management of the ROI process: Think of ChartRequest as your personal assistant for all things ROI. We handle everything from receiving requests and verifying authorizations to delivering records and collecting payments. It’s about taking the load off your team’s shoulders, so you can focus on what matters most.\nRapid Turnaround Times: Stay compliant and prioritize your entire requestor community by releasing records in as little as 1 business day.\nUnwavering Compliance and Rigid Security: ChartRequest encryption is practically impossible to breach, protecting patient data at rest and in transit. Additonally, automation means there’s less room for human error.\nDedicated White-Glove Support: ChartRequest’s white-glove, omnichannel support has helped us achieve an average rating of 4.8 stars on Google Reviews.\nUsing ChartRequest Full-Service ROI isn’t just about outsourcing a task. It’s embracing a complete solution that prioritizes speed, compliance, and security in health information exchange.\nIt’s a smart move for healthcare facilities aiming to streamline their operations and keep their focus sharp on providing top-notch patient care.\nPotential Concerns About Full-Service Partnership\nWith so many benefits of a Full-Service partnership, it’s only fair to look at the other side of the coin. Let’s talk about a couple of potential drawbacks that some healthcare facilities might consider before jumping on board.\nFirst, you’re likely wondering about the cost. You may be surprised to hear that ChartRequest Full-Service is more affordable than you’d think, but there are factors to consider.\n- Billable vs. Non-Billable Ratio: Depending on your organization’s requestor ratio, you could leverage billable requests to minimize costs.\n- Staff Hours Saved: The release of information is a time-consuming task, and traditional methods can take hours. Find out how NY Orthopedics benefits from their Full-Service partnership.\n- Reduced Risk of HIPAA Fines: ChartRequest has been a release of information leader for over a decade, and our team of HIPAA experts understand what it takes to stay compliant. We also simplify compliance with the Cures Act, state pricing statutes, and more.\nThere are several factors that impact the cost of Full-Service partnership, but you’ll be surprised to hear how affordable outsourcing the release of information can be. Find out how much your organization can save.\nThe second most common concern we hear is about wanting to maintain control over the ROI process.\nWe understand that giving the reins to a business associate can feel intimidating. You might worry about not having direct control over every step of the process.\nChartRequest understands the importance of handling sensitive patient information. That’s why we ensure strict compliance with all regulations, giving you the confidence to trust us with this critical task. We designed our technology to provide transparency and regular updates every step of the way — for your peace of mind.\nChartRequest’s Unique Approach to Full-Service ROI\nThe secret to our success is a blend of cutting-edge technology and human expertise. We use the latest tools to streamline the ROI process, but it’s our dedicated team that truly makes the difference.\nWe’re not just about processing requests; we’re about building partnerships. Our team works closely with each client to understand their unique needs and tailor our services accordingly.\nContinuous improvement is at the core of our operation. We’re always looking for ways to enhance our services, ensuring that we stay ahead of the curve in this ever-evolving field.\nChartRequest’s Unwavering Commitment to HIPAA Compliance\nWe’ve mentioned several times how our entire process is rooted in HIPAA compliance. Instead of just telling you, we want to paint a vivid picture of some key aspects of our compliance program.\nWe’re fully committed to making sure every step in the ROI process meets the high standards set by HIPAA.\nHere’s how we do it:\n- Rigorous training and education: Our team doesn’t just understand HIPAA compliance; they embody it. We keep our staff sharp with regular training and consistently updated on the latest regulations and best practices.\n- Double QA review: When it comes to accuracy, we don’t take chances. Our two-step quality assurance process has two humans verify every request to ensure every record we release is 100% correct.\n- Real-time audit logging: Trust requires transparency. Our real-time audit logging tracks every action taken with each request. This makes sure everything is accountable and traceable.\nThe numbers tell the story:\nA report from HHS says HIPAA violations can hit organizations with fines of up to $2 million per violation. We’re here to help healthcare facilities steer clear of these risks.\nAnd here’s another eye-opener: a Ponemon Institute study found that the average cost of a data breach in healthcare is about $7.13 million – the highest in any sector.\nOur top-tier security measures are designed to prevent these kinds of breaches. We aim to protect patient information and the financial well-being of healthcare facilities.\nLet Chartrequest Full-Service ROI Take Care of Everything For You\nIf you’re a healthcare facility or a doctor regularly dealing with medical records, it’s time to consider ChartRequest for your ROI needs.\nOur Full-Service ROI is designed to streamline your processes, safeguard your data, and ensure compliance, all while saving you time and resources.\nDon’t let the complexities of health information exchange slow you down.

Growing up bilingual, they knew the flexibility and richness that lay in the timbre of the human voice. More importantly, it enriched their lives with a far more humanistic element - the power of human connection. Language is often used as the social glue that binds a society and when used to it's highest caliber, can illuminate the darkness of ignorance and catapult those disadvantaged into better states. This highway of opportunity is only possible due to the connection that language provides. It provides a mechanism for understanding the plight of understanding, a catalyst for empathy.\nWith the power of language ever-present in their minds, and a growing distaste in the lack of empathy that is encroaching on modern society, Max and Hamzah decided to create echo, a software that teaches and sharpens people's secondary language skills by making them read passages in their respective secondary language and providing them with useful information to increase their fluency with speaking in a different language so that they can eventually sound like a native.\nWhat it does\nUsing computer speech recognition and state of the art natural language processing techniques, echo provides people with the ability to learn and sharpen their secondary language skills by reading passages in the respective secondary language. Once accurately done, echo provides with useful statistical information such as the average pause rate of native speakers in the language compared to your average pause rate when speaking. The hope of providing all this information is to use it to better align the rhythm of their speech to that of a native of the language so that they can speak like a native.\nHow we built it\nWe used Python, Kivy, and the Google Cloud Speech platform to build echo.\nChallenges we ran into\n- Understanding and finding useful ways to use state of the art NLP libraries. Turns out NLP is very hard!\n- Being able to parse the entire byte stream of audio data so that we can use user inputted speech and compare it with a native.\nAccomplishments that we're proud of\nTo work around Google Cloud not allowing us to access the full byte stream of audio data, we built our own buffer parser! This allowed us to get the full .wav file recording of user speech and thus allowed us to incorporate a host of new information and capabilities into the product such as pause rate, speech duration, and more! This information can hopefully help users find the rhythm at which people speak their native languages and allow them to work towards a level of competency in the language that makes them sound like a native.\nUsing the Google Speech Recognition software to track what words have been spoken and what words users are having difficulties with and providing appropriate tips.\nWhat we learned\n- How to use Kivy\n- Basics of NLP and things like Praat's Algorithm\n- Google Cloud Platform\n- Multi-threading in Python\nWhat's next for echo\n- Becoming the de-facto language learning app in the world!", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "The global smart cards market is predicted to reach USD 15.4 billion by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc.

That being the simple addition of a script tag src, as mentioned above.\nThis is when you’ll probably start to look into tools like the Vue CLI. A command-line utility that makes the setting up of a Vue project, complete with all the functionality that you need to create a complex modern application as easy as a simple command-line statement:\nvue create my-project\nWhy the Vue CLI is necessary for most Vue projects\nJust as construction within human civilization evolved in terms of housing, with more and more complexity being solved by various forms of scaffolding, so in the same vein, as the web evolves, various forms of scaffolding are now needed and being made in order to make the web-based application building process easier.\nCompared to jQuery, increasing complexity on the web as time has progressed, as well as what that complexity has necessitated, means that much more is needed in terms of scaffolding, to meet the users’ performance demands.\nA highly complex web needs an equally complex response in terms of tooling for web builders.\nThis is what tools like the command-line utility that is the Vue CLI do for you.\nThe Vue CLI makes the building of complex coding infrastructures that can manage the new complexity that is now on the web, easier.\nComplexity meets complexity, but with a tool like the Vue CLI, that complexity is now simplified for the user.\nHow To Use The Vue CLI – Step By Step\nBefore you can get to creating your Vue CLI initiated app, you must first install the Vue CLI from npm.\nYou do this by typing the following npm command into your terminal:\nnpm install -g @vue/cli\nYou may also install it with yarn, if you have that package manager installed, like so:\nyarn global add @vue/cli\nOnce you’ve done this, you may now create your Vue project by typing in the following command:\nvue create hello-world\nWe’ve used ‘hello-world’ here as our project name but you may choose any other name that you like.\nThat’s all there is to it. You now have installed a complete Vue project.\nBut what does that mean in terms of what we can now do?\nHow A Vue CLI initiated App Works, And What It Allows You To Do\nOnce you’ve installed your Vue project, you’re now probably wondering how it works in terms of the folder structure and what everything in it does.\nThere are only a few key areas that we will focus on in this tutorial, as this is simply a mini crash course.\nThese are the main areas that interact within the app, and the ones that you’ll need to focus on most of the time when you’re in the process of development.\nThe understanding of how these areas within the app work will also allow you to further gain a grounding in Vue.\nBefore we begin to get into what these key areas are, and the ways in which these key areas work, let’s first take a little look at the overall folder structure in the app we’ve just created.\n‘hello-world’ Vue App Folder Structure, The Most Important Parts\nThe below section are normally within your’src’ folder, inside of your Vue app. This is where your real Vue app lives. And whose contents we will be covering below. In the root directory before you get into src simply is your basic dependency files, such as your ‘node modules’. These are the various key scaffolding elements that are available within your Vue CLI initiated Vue app.\nBelow, we will simply focus on our Vue app src folder.\n[Picture of the Vue App Src folder]\nMain.js – The Command Center of Your Vue App\nThe main.js is the main startup area of your Vue app, where data and processes are routed, it’s here where the main Vue instance is initiated and set ready to go. In most tutorials and by most programmers, you will see a file like this being referred to as your ‘entry’ file, for this reason. This is also where the components that we mentioned previously are connected to the instantiated Vue instance.\n[picture of App.vue file here.]\nThis is the file that we then reference within our main.js entry file, in order to load all of our components up.\nWe keep our assets such as image files and logos here. For easier referencing from within our app.\nOn Module Bundlers in the Vue CLI, The Middle Man Of Your App\nWe mentioned module bundlers above as a standard part of the Vue app creation and running process.\nThe basic description of a module bundler is as a middle man within your app, that converts the app’s code, which when you’re writing it is not recognizable by the browser that will be running it, down into something that the browser can then run and understand.\nThe bundling process works by typing in a bundling command on the command line from within your app directory. Like this:\nnpm run build\nThis will load the compiled, browser readable files into a /dist folder that can then be used to display your app.\n/dist folder is where our compiled HTML, js, and CSS is kept once our Vue code has been run through our module bundlers.\nAll of the above works in order to make your Vue app runnable by most good, modern web browsers.\nAll of this functionality and the way that it works is available out of the box in the Vue CLI. Once you begin to use the functionality provided, such as the core functionality described above, you will begin to understand the full power of the scaffolding provided by the Vue CLI.\nThe final feature we will mention in this point, just to show how useful it is, is the Vue CLI serve command.\nnpm run serve\nWhen this is run from within your Vue app directory, it will load up a simple web server and allow you to see your Vue app in action. A link to it on your localhost, along with the relevant port that is running it, will be available on the command line.\nPretty great right?\nI hope this gives you a good general overview of what the Vue CLI can do for you. When you start to use it, you will gradually begin to see what it can help you do.\nSo don’t wait around. Get active with it today, and see just how powerful a scaffolding tool the Vue CLI is.\nTo be the first to know when we publish a new post or book, you may also subscribe to our email list below", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "RE: Installing Debain on an PCMCIA drive?\nOn 20-Oct-2000 Mathias Wiklander wrote:\n> I helping a friend to install Debian on an Omnibook 600C.

The latest on the Apple iPhone 8 is that it may be made with a stainless steel chassis. Stainless steel is more expensive than aluminum and some are pointing to previous rumors that Apple will offer 3 versions of the new iPhone 8 with the stainless steel version being the most premium. The rumors have also been suggesting that the new Apple iPhone 8 will sport glass on the front and back — welcome back iPhone 4s? The iPhone 4s had a similar design with glass front and back and a stainless steel band.\nWhile Apple is rumored to return to steel with the “iPhone 8” chassis, the fabrication process will be notably different from that of iPhone 4 and 4s. In particular, the company is said to be using a metal forging method instead of common billet milling.\nForging is a machining method that essentially squeezes a metal alloy between two halves of a mold —tool and die —to form a finished part. Compared to components crafted using subtractive machining methods like CNC, forged blanks provide superlative structural rigidity and can in some cases afford greater latitude in the design process.\nOther rumors include the removal of the home button, integrating it into the glass front. This should theoretically shrink the size of the phone which leads to the rumor that the stainless steel iPhone 8 may have a larger screen. Apple is said to be keeping the 4.7″ and 5.5″ versions and will add a slightly larger screen in the more “premium” offering. Apple is also said to be thinking of using an OLED display on the new iPhone 8 as well as finally incorporating wireless charging, which should be much easier with glass construction.\nWhat do you think of this latest Apple iPhone 8 rumor?

If you are using two monitors at the same time, both screens will be recorded. You don’t want to photograph the entire screen, but just a window? First select the relevant window. With the keyboard shortcut for screenshots in Windows – [Alt] + [Print] – you can then create a snapshot of this.\nIf you press the [Win], [Alt] and [Print] keys together, you can save the currently selected window as a PNG file in the “Screenshots” folder.\nThe push button has been on computer keyboards for a very long time. In the times of MS-DOS, the connected printer was addressed directly: By pressing the button, users could send the screen content directly to the device and print it out. Modern systems use this button to create almost exclusively digital copies and no longer actual printouts.\nBy the way, your mouse pointer will not appear on the screenshot. That can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. You don’t have to worry about whether the cursor is covering important information. However, if you want to use the screenshot to indicate something in particular, the pointer can be useful. To do this, you need to install an external tool.\nYour keyboard may be labeled differently: Especially in English-speaking countries, the terms [Print], [Prnt] or [Prnt Scrn] (for “Print Screen”) are more common. On laptops, keys are assigned twice to save space. Then the screenshot should be possible by additionally pressing the function key: [Fn] + [Print].\nSnipping Tool: Tool for taking screenshots in Windows\nIn the Snipping Tool you can choose between different cutting methods\nThe push button function is useful, quick, and straightforward, but it’s also very simple. Microsoft has therefore introduced another method for taking screenshots in Windows. The Snipping Tool is already pre-installed in the operating system and offers more options to customize the screenshot as you need it. When you have opened the program, you can choose between different cut types:\nCut full screen: This setting corresponds to the function of the pushbutton. Create a complete copy of the screen (or screens) with just one click.\nCut out window: If you choose this type, first decide on a window from which you want to create an image. If you hover over it with the mouse pointer, this becomes clearly visible, while everyone else gets a foggy filter. A click on the window of your choice triggers the screenshot.\nRectangular cut-out: With this type of cut-out, you can select a free but rectangular area for the screenshot. If you z. For example, if you know that only a certain part of the screen is important before you take a snapshot, you only need to save that part. This means that the viewer knows immediately which part is important to you. It’s also a way to keep personal information out of the screenshot. Hold down the mouse button and drag a frame. As soon as you release the button, the picture is taken.\nFree cutting: You have even more freedom with the last cut type. This allows you to choose a shape freehand and only include this area in the screenshot. The quality of the shape depends on how well you can draw with the mouse. Here, too, the program creates the screenshot as soon as you release the mouse button. If you have not reached the starting point with the drawn frame by then, the Snipping Tool automatically completes the connection between the starting point and the end point using the shortest path.\nEditing view in the Snipping Tool\nThere are several ways to mark your screenshot in the Snipping Tool\nIn contrast to the creation of a screenshot with the push button, the Snipping Tool shows you the snapshot directly. So you can immediately check that everything looks the way it should. If not: Just click on “New” again and try again. As soon as you are happy with the result, you can start adding markers straight away. Important points can be underlined, circled or highlighted with an arrow with a pen. Use the highlighter to paint directly over an important sentence or a crucial number. In the last step, you decide what to do with your screenshot:\nSave: Clicking on “Save” opens a window in which you can define the storage location, file name and format. PNG, GIF, JPEG or the MHTML format, with which websites are actually archived, are available.\nCopy: You can also use the Snipping Tool to copy the screenshot to the clipboard. Just like with the push button, you can then use your screenshot in various applications, e.g. B. in a Word document, insert.\nSend: You can also send your screenshot by email. To do this, the excerpt is either inserted directly into a new email or sent as an attachment. The prerequisite for this is that you use a certain program for your e-mails, not the web application of your mail provider.\nWhen you take a screenshot in Windows 10 using the Snipping Tool, you also have the option of time delay. As with a camera’s self-timer, you set a timer that delays the snapshot. You can use this time to make settings, e.g. B. are only visible for a short time or require holding a key.\nProblems taking screenshots\nErrors are particularly common when creating screenshots from other programs. If you try to take a snapshot within a video or a game, the result is often a completely black image. In many cases the reason for this is a conflict in the graphics card. In most cases, however, the problem can be avoided: In some cases, it is sufficient to reduce the game from full screen to window mode. Often games or video playback programs also have their own screenshot function, which can be activated via a hotkey.\nHowever, it happens e.g. E.g. at Netflix that the software provider intentionally prevents the creation of screenshots. In such cases, this has to do with copyrights. The built-in copy protection technology (DRM) prevents the image from being copied in order to protect the rights of the owner. If this is the cause of your problem taking a screenshot in Windows, you have to accept it.\nOther tools: External tools for taking screenshots under Windows\nEven if the Snipping Tool already offers more features than the simple key combination for screenshots under Windows, it can make sense to try other software as well. Programs from external providers are particularly advisable for those users who use screenshots professionally or at least on a daily basis. Some of these screenshot programs offer more editing options and additional functions, for example automatic scrolling to show even long websites completely in one image, or so-called screencasts – the programs record a video of your desktop. This function is particularly popular with tutorials, because it allows the creators of such videos to simply show their viewers what they have to do instead of explaining it in a cumbersome manner.\nShareX: The free open source software also lets you create screencasts and GIF files.\nScreenshot Captor: The slim tool can take photos of both auto-scroll and multiple monitors independently of each other.\nGrabilla: The manufacturers of this screenshot tool make the software available for numerous platforms and also offer their own file hosting service.\nMonosnap: The software is quick and easy to use and still offers all the important features. DuckCapture: In addition to the usual screenshot functions, this tool offers its users the option of simply combining several screenshots into one large image.Tags: Create a screenshot under Windows, Editing view in the Snipping Tool", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "I’ve made changes to the ‘AOS_Products_Quotes’ module.\nWhen I move the changes to /custom/modules they are not taken.

It’s also easy to use and accessible to all.\nMany churches have switched from live streaming their services to a more beginner-friendly video-conferencing platform like Zoom. This is particularly helpful when streaming to remote locations and to those who may not be able to attend in person.\nThere are some things to remember when using Zoom for meetings.\nFirst, make sure participants are muting themselves when not speaking. This will help to reduce the background noise from phones and other sources.\nSecond, you should ensure your meeting link is password-protected so that only those who know it can join. This is helpful to prevent unwanted guests from disrupting the service or causing trouble during prayer and readings.\nZoom has been proactive in addressing security concerns and sharing best practices with users. This is a positive move for the company and a step in the right direction.\nEasy to use\nZoom church meeting is a great way to bring people together online for a service. It’s also a good option for small groups, Bible studies, prayer meetings and ministry team meetings.\nThe interface is beginner-friendly and has specific settings that are easy to understand. Moreover, it’s free and can be accessed from anywhere in the world as long as they have an internet connection.\nYou can easily connect via a mobile app, a desktop app or a web app hybrid. This is convenient for everyone who wants to attend, especially those who are not tech-savvy.\nYou can also use smart text messaging to remind members about the meeting, which is a great way to increase participation. However, it’s important to send the reminders a day before and an hour before the event.\nEasy to share\nZoom makes it easy to share and access your meetings, regardless of your membership or location. You can send the link via email, calendars or social media channels.\nYou can also record your meeting and host it privately on a service like Dropbox or Google Drive, so those who can’t join can watch it later.\nAnother way you can easily share your meetings is by using the Share Screen tab in your computer’s toolbar. When you click on the tab, a list of those currently in the meeting will appear on the right side of your screen.\nDepending on your settings, you can either let everyone enter or mute them on entry. This will help prevent people from accidentally opening their mic and causing disruption to your church service or small group.\nEasy to access\nChurch members who are unable to attend services in person are often able to access services on their own time using Zoom. This also helps those members who have non-traditional work shifts or conflicting schedules.\nMany churches use Zoom for Sunday service, prayer meetings, committee meetings, and home groups. It’s a free software that can be used on nearly all computers and mobile devices.\nThe interface for Zoom is beginner-friendly, easy to set up, and quick to use. It also has specific settings that make it ideal for the church setting.\nThe only thing that you should be aware of is that it’s not ‘open to all’ like a live stream to Facebook or YouTube, so participants will need to have the meeting link and password in order to view.

It's sort of like how Crypto is today. New coin every week. We spent a TON of time just making sure we had community users who were happy.\nQ: What was one of the most important moments you saw in the Apache Cassandra community?\nA: The Cassandra Summits we ran. They kept attracting bigger crowds with bigger company names with bigger use cases.\nQ: You spent a lot of time trying to convince big companies that they should use Cassandra. What was the biggest challenge then and how does that contrast to today?\nA: It was never a challenge of the theory of Cassandra. People would ask questions and the tech spoke for itself. The challenges in the early days were more about how early the software was. People are scared of new, pre-V1.0 things in production. As time progressed and you had big names using it, it iterated to implementation challenges.

Big promises and a lack of visible progress has prompted many a commentator to condemn the research as a total waste of time and effort, and opened the door for charlatans claiming they found some sort of quick and easy shortcut to creating a miniature star. But lately, there’s been some promising news and movement, with new reactor designs coming online, and duration and generation records being achieved by test reactors. And this is before ITER, the massive international experiment, gets things really fired up at an unprecedented scale.\nSo, does this mean we’re on the verge of commercially viable fusion? Not yet, and not by a long shot. But the reason why we’re starting to see a trickle of positive news is because despite all of the naysaying and shoestring budgets, scientists have been able to demonstrate that it really is possible to ignite and sustain fusion reactions outside of nuclear weapons. Unlike 70 years ago, we have a firm grasp on the fundamentals, and the kinds of lasers and magnets that make the ignition, the critical first part of the process, almost easy. Whereas before, the only way to start fusion was to set off a fission bomb inside another bomb, forcing deuterium and lithium to fuse into helium, we can now do it with fuel pellets and lasers.\nEarly fusion boosters seemed to think that as soon as we can reliably start the ignition process, we could work out what to do next with enough magnets. Since the ignition would create very hot clouds of plasma, and plasma can be contained and channeled with magnets, we’d just need enough good magnets, they assumed. Unfortunately, it turns out that containing all that plasma is the hard part. Fusion reactions require the plasma to reach at least 100 million C, and ideally get closer to 150 million C, nearly ten times hotter than the core of the Sun. Meanwhile, the magnets meant to manage this plasma are cooled to near absolute zero, creating up some of the biggest temperature gradients in the known universe within a single device.\nwhy taming unruly plasma is the key to fusion\nWhy do we need such insane temperature differences? Well, because the sun cheats when it fuses hydrogen into helium, using its gravity to generate core pressures over 6 trillion psi. At that extreme, fusion is the only option because the ions are literally crushed together. Unless we figure out how to add at least 30,000 Earth masses without imploding our planet into the smallest possible star capable of fusion, the only route we have is to heat atoms to absolutely insane temperatures and use magnetic fields generated by superconductors, kept within just a few degrees of absolute zero for optimal function, to squeeze those atoms in an energetic coil where they lose their electrons and get shoved together until they fuse into helium.\nThe longer we can keep the plasma coil circulating, the more fusion reactions we’ll create, the more energy we’ll produce. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done because at some point, that 150 million degree plasma will overheat the magnets, break its confinement, and disperse within the chamber, terminating fusion. Figuring out the right shapes and mechanics for those magnets is what’s been holding fusion back from viability, and having to nail this down using very limited, complex modeling followed by nine figure trial-and-error experiments has taken a lot of time. But a Google backed venture called DeepMind, famous for the psychedelic imagery its artificial neural networks generate, had some helpful ideas.\nPartnering with the Swiss Plasma Center, its engineers created a program which can detect the minute behaviors of the plasma coil and adjust the 19 independent magnets in the test reactor accordingly to extend the lifetime of the reaction cycle. The goal was to figure out exactly what configurations would lead to optimal confinement and whether an AI would be capable of swift and careful adjustments if the plasma’s behavior changes. So far, the test appears to yield very promising results, showing that an AI system controlling a fusion reactor would be both useful and informative since it could also be unleased to design new magnet configurations based on real world data. And that should hopefully lead us to a commercially viable reactor.\nall hail our fusion-powering machine overlords\nBy itself, trying to use AI to crack the plasma confinement problem isn’t new, and models have been trained to understand the fundamentals of plasma flows in a fusion reactor. But this is the first time a network has been so elaborate and had such ambitious goals, guiding humans to the optimal configurations and energy levels, and creating room to add more data to detect and avoid various flares and undesirable feedback loops seen in test reactors. Partly, this is a function of more researchers feeling comfortable with artificial intelligence trying to tackle very complex problems since they now have a track record of doing that in the real world, and partly it’s thanks to the standardization and ubiquity of AI tools.\nIn other words, more ambitious AI models are starting to be applied to making fusion a viable energy source because it’s now a far more mature technology and researchers understand it much better than before. Right now, we can keep fusion going for just a few minutes. When we’re routinely maintaining it for a few hours at a time, we can start planning how to build a new power plant and the exact feedstock for these new reactors, since our experimental mixes wouldn’t be the best fuel, generating too many neutrons for long term use. Instead, we’d more likely use helium-3 found in lunar regolith or a mix of hydrogen and boron, if it works in future experiments as a cleaner, more accessible alternative.\nIf we do reach that point, it seems almost certain that AI models will get us there and start to push us further, helping miniaturize these reactors for use in microgrids, spacecraft, and bases on other worlds. Ideally, this would be the exact future of artificial intelligence in our lives: as an army of silent, helpful algorithms focused on helping us solve complex, dynamic problems that require intense number crunching to solve, and empower engineers to build machines that make our lives better, more comfortable, and less environmentally impactful. At this point, to keep wasting AI on cramming useless trinkets and monetizable outrage down our throats when fusion and space travel call, seems absolutely insane.\nSee: Degrave, J., et al.

The two social media companies have both reportedly held talks with multiple TV executives to create \"bundles\" of live channels.\nFacebook has been talking to the NFL to offer access to its Thursday Night Football package to users across its network. The Post didn't mention if Twitter was holding similar talks with the football league, but it's certainly a possibility considering how often its platform is used during sporting events.\nIt's unclear how either network will actually deliver the streaming content, but the networks are reportedly weighing the pros and cons of partnering with the social networks. On one hand, streaming content to Facebook and Twitter could help networks reach younger users and access viewers' social data. But on the other hand, networks might lose revenue from advertisers who prefer traditional TV ads. Let's take a look at why Facebook and Twitter are interested in streaming live TV, and which company would have the upper hand when push comes to shove.\nExpanding into Netflix's untapped markets\nNetflix (NFLX 3.74%) is the dominant name in video streaming, but two markets which it hasn't entered are live TV and sports. The problem is that instead of displaying ads, Netflix pays content providers royalties to stream ad-free shows and movies. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has repeatedly stated that his company won't ever splice commercials into its content -- which led to an impasse regarding live streams of regular TV programs.\nAt the same time, streaming content obligations (which Netflix promises to pay studios to license future titles) are still the company's top expense, rising 15% annually to $10.9 billion last quarter. To reduce that bill, Netflix produces original shows and movies. Since contracts for broadcasting live sports have surged over the past few years, Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos declared last December that the company would only stream live sports broadcasts if it created and owned the content itself.\nWould Facebook and Twitter have more clout?\nNetflix's avoidance of live TV and sports broadcasts makes sense for its business model, but Facebook and Twitter potentially have more to offer TV networks. Both companies have live video streaming apps -- Facebook Live and Twitter's Periscope.\nSeveral networks, like E!, have already started using Facebook Live to shoot and stream live shows directly from smartphones -- an innovative approach which enables hosts to answer viewer questions in real time. If TV networks agree to stream their content onto Facebook Live or Periscope in a similar fashion, they could monitor live comments to better understand their viewers.\nFacebook and Twitter users often post status updates while watching live shows and sporting events. Both companies accumulate those messages in big treasure troves of data which networks and advertisers can potentially mine. However, that data might be more useful when paired with live content instead of pre-recorded TV shows. That's probably why Facebook declared in a statement that it wasn't \"focused on acquiring the rights to conventional TV programs\" like The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones.\nWhich social network will rule live TV?\nNot much else is known about Facebook and Twitter's TV ambitions, but if push comes to shove, Facebook will definitely have the upper hand for three simple reasons. First, its user base of 1.6 billion monthly active users is nearly five times larger than Twitter's. Second, Facebook has been aggressively expanding its video ecosystem with hosted videos, live videos, and video ads. In January, it reported that 500 million people watched Facebook videos every day. As of last year, Twitter's Periscope had just 10 million active users, while 100 million people were watching its Vine videos monthly.\nLastly, connecting with Facebook can help TV networks compare viewer statistics with social profiles with bulk analytics. Since Facebook profiles contain much more information than Twitter's, Facebook can leverage its users' data as the ultimate bargaining chip with TV networks.\nThe video war is just beginning ...\nOver the past year, Facebook has turned up the heat on YouTube with its video expansion, targeted Periscope with Facebook Live, and attacked Twitter's domination of live sports coverage with Sports Stadium.\nBy working with TV networks, Facebook might carve out a niche market in streaming video which Netflix has failed to touch.

Texting and emailing are only two on a list of many things affected by this notion. It can be difficult to keep up with all of the different apps that are available. You may not even know which apps will actually be helpful to you. Keeping up with modern forms of communication can certainly be a cause of stress. Luckily, we have put together some quick and easy tips to help you figure out the ever-developing worlds of texting and emailing.\nAs with anything, you must put yourself first, and find out what it is that you want to gain from using text and email services. Talking to friends and family differs greatly from, say, sending an important message to a business partner. Find out what your goals are with texting and emailing, and stick to these desires as your guiding lights. If you are simply trying to keep up with family, there are many fun messaging apps that allow you to edit photos and text to give yourself more control of your own voice. On the other side of the fence, you have no frills apps that can be used to send simple and concise messages.\nTo follow that, you may want to figure out what everyone else is using on a more grand scale. Keeping in touch with your family may be more streamlined if you can use the app they all use already. It can be very difficult to get a group to use an entirely new app when they are already so used to using a different one. Take a survey of what email or texting service is used the most by those you want to contact, and try these services out for yourself! Seeing as how a multitude of individuals use more than one app, you are sure to find one that works out for the entire group.\nLastly, never hesitate to ask questions. Even when an email or texting app is relatively easy to use, there may be some gaps in your knowledge of its usage. In this case, try out the customer service for the app in question. You can find a number to call by doing a simple internet search of the company that you want to contact about their app.\nIt has never been so easy and hard all at once to keep in touch with people that you want to talk to. It can be intimidating to find out the sheer number of apps available that assist with simply sending a message. If you find yourself confused, never hesitate to ask questions. Additionally, if an app is not to your liking, you can always delete it and find something that works better for you.", "label": "Yes"} {"text": "If upon installation you see a message describing a runtime error (look at the screenshot below with an example of such message), try these steps:\n1.

It also proxies all the internal slots (such as __int__/__str__/__add__).\nComplete documentation is at https://zopeproxy.readthedocs.io\n- Fix a potential rare crash when deallocating proxies. See issue 20.\n- Drop support for Python 3.3.\n- Drop support for “python setup.py test”.\n- 100% test coverage.\n- Fix indexing pure-Python proxies with slices under Python 3, and restore the use of __getslice__ (if implemented by the target’s type) under Python 2. Previously, pure-Python proxies would fail with an AttributeError when given a slice on Python 3, and on Python 2, a custom __getslice__ was ignored. See issue 21.\n- Make the pure-Python implementation of sameProxiedObjects handle zope.security proxies. See issue 15.\n- Add support for Python 3.6.\n- Correctly strip zope.security proxies in removeAllProxies.

This fixes some zope.interface lookups under PyPy.\n- Make the pure-Python implementation of ProxyBase properly report the zope.interface interfaces implemented by builtin types like list. This fixes some zope.interface lookups under PyPy.\n- Make the C implementation proxy __unicode__ correctly.\n- Make the C implementation use the standard methods to proxy int and float.\n- Make the pure Python implementation handle descriptors defined in subclasses like the C version. See https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.proxy/issues/5.\n- Add support for Python 3.4.\n- Update bootstrap.py to version 2.2.\n- Fix interface object introspection in PyPy. For some reason PyPy makes attributes available despite the restrictive __slots__ declaration.\n- Add a bunch of tests surrounding interface lookup and adaptation.\n- Make PyProxyBase.__iter__() return the result of PyProxyBase._wrapped.__iter__ if available, otherwise falling back to Python internals. The previous implementation always created a generator.\n- In PyProxyBase.__setattr__(), allow setting of properties on the proxy itself. This is needed to properly allow proxy extensions as was evidenced int he zope.security.decorator module.\n- Fleshed out PyPI Trove classifiers.\nEnable compilation of dependent modules under Py3k.\nReplace use of PyCObject APIs with equivalent PyCapsule APIs, except under Python 2.6.\n- N.B.

Conducting the analysis, however, is often easier said than done.\nFacebook Insights provides a nice interface which allows you to see a number of metrics related to each post, but there are quite a few other post level metrics that are beneficial to the analysis yet are not visible in the interface. Gaining access to the additional metrics can be done by either using the Facebook Graph API or exporting the data from Facebook Insights.\nOnce you have the data, it’s time to get organized.\nThere are many ways organize the data for analysis, but the focus here will be on three top level segments and four metric categories, each of which can also be segmented.\nAfter the analysis, you will have insights into questions such as “what type of post or mix of posts should I utilize in order to achieve a specific objective?” and “when is the ideal time to post?”\nThe top level segments are the type of post, such as link, photo, video or status, the time of day that the content was posted, and the day of week that it was posted. Each of these will provide insights on its own or can be combined with other segments to provide even more in-depth insights. This information is provided by Facebook for every post.\nYou can also refrain from segmenting at all and instead compare all posts against each other. This can often be a good starting point to get a high level view of your individual posts.\nThe next level down from the segments gets into the metrics that can be used to analyze the performance of each segment. The metrics can be organized into four categories, each of which can be seen in the figure below.\n- Exposure: This one is pretty self-explanatory. It shows the number of impressions that were generated by your posts. This can be viewed as either total impressions, unique impressions (reach), or impressions by users who have liked your page. These metrics are useful on their own, but become even more useful when used as part of derived calculations, which will be touched on at the end.\n- Consumption: This one moves beyond exposure to having some sort of meaningful interaction with your post. This category is called consumption since it is an indication that the user went from being exposed to your post to consuming the content of the post. The sub-metrics of consumption include video plays, photo views, link clicks, and other clicks on the post. Similar to exposure, consumption can also be looked at in aggregate or segmented by the number of unique users who consumed the content and the number of consumptions that came from users who have liked the page.\n- Engagement: This is the step you hope users take after being exposed to the post and consuming the posts content. The sub-metrics here include likes of the content, comments about the content, and shares of the content. Engagement can also be viewed in aggregate or segmented by unique users who engaged and engagements that came from users who have liked the page.\n- Negative Feedback: This is one that you hope to minimize since it is an indication that the content you’re releasing isn’t relevant or viewed as spam. Examples of sub-metrics for this category include reporting the post as spam and clicking the X button, which hides the post from the users view.\nAll the metrics described above are easily accessible using the Facebook Insights export feature or for more advanced users via the Graph API. You’re probably familiar with some of these metrics just from using the Facebook Insights interface, but you need to bring the data out of Facebook Insights in order to perform the real analysis.\nOnce you have your data together in a spreadsheet, you can supplement it with your own derived calculations that will add value by providing greater insights into the performance of your content. Just like the metric categories and sub-metrics described above, the derived metrics should also be segmented to give greater insights.\nSome insightful metrics that can be used in aggregate or segmented include:\n- Percent of page fans reached by each post\n- Page fan engagement rate vs. non-page fan engagement rate\n- Consumption rate of videos vs. consumption rate of photos\n- Negative feedback rate for each post type\nThese are just a few basic examples of derived metrics. There are many others that can also be computed depending on the objectives of your Facebook page.\nWhile this column has touched on quite a few of the post level metrics available from Facebook, it is by no means exhaustive. This post was intended to show some of the potential options for your analysis that goes beyond what is available in Facebook Insights.\nAdditional metrics are available that allow you to look even deeper into the performance of your Facebook content, but I will leave those metrics for those who want to further explore the post level metrics that are available from Facebook.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 improved by 26% to $25.3 million, as compared to a gross profit of $20.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in both revenue and gross profit was driven by continued growth of the OmniPod customer base both in the U.S. and international markets during the fourth quarter of 2012.\nOperating loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $6.1 million, compared to an operating loss of $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an improvement of over 40%. The decrease in the operating loss is mainly driven by the increase in gross profit quarter over quarter.\nNet loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $10.2 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.3 million, or $0.30 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2011.\n\"2012 was an extremely successful year across all fronts for Insulet, with strong revenue growth and expanded gross margins driving us to operating cash profitability* in the fourth quarter,\" said Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet. \"The year culminated with our most exciting accomplishment, FDA clearance of the new OmniPod. We have begun shipping the new OmniPod to new customers and expect to begin transitioning our existing customer base to the new OmniPod in the coming weeks. Looking ahead to 2013, we expect continued growth to be driven by robust demand for the new OmniPod, which retains all the easy-to-use features of the original OmniPod, and is over a third smaller in size and a quarter lighter.\"\nFull Year Results\nFor the year ended December 31, 2012, revenue increased 39% to $211.4 million from $152.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $92.3 million, an improvement of 38%, as compared to a gross profit of $66.7 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011.\nOperating loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $36.0 million as compared to an operating loss of $42.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. Total operating expenses were $128.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $109.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase in operating expenses was primarily related to the June 2011 acquisition of Neighborhood Diabetes, the expansion of our commercial team and higher research and development costs associated with the development and approval of our next generation OmniPod.\nNet interest expense was $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Income tax expense was $0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to income tax benefit of $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Income tax expense in 2012 primarily related to federal, state and foreign taxes. Income tax benefit in 2011 primarily resulted from acquired deferred tax liabilities which were used to offset preexisting deferred tax assets and reduced the amount of the valuation allowance required.\nNet loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $51.9 million, or $1.08 per share, compared to $45.8 million, or $0.98 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2011.\nAs of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $57.3 million compared to $94.0 million at December 31, 2011. In January 2013, the Company sold approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock at $20.75 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $92.8 million.\nFor the year ending December 31, 2013, the Company estimates that revenue will be in the range of $240 to $255 million. For the first quarter ending March 31, 2013, the Company expects that revenue will be in the range of $56 to $59 million.\nInsulet will host a conference call on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 5:00PM Eastern time to discuss the Company's fourth quarter and full year 2012 results and present information concerning its business, strategies and outlook.

Dahlin.\nThe present invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling pulp refiners and more particularly to refiners used in manufacturing paper.\nU.S. Pat. No. 3,568,939 in the name of Brewster et al discloses in detail the existing state of the art in controlling pulp refiners. In general, the major refining action is accomplished by a group of base refiners arranged in various series and parallel flow paths; a tickler refiner provides for fine or high frequency control of the quality of the output stock. One such quality in the case of paper is known as freeness.\nAn inherent problem in the control of refiners is the time delay between the base refiners and the output of the tickler refiner. such delay is caused in part by the time constants in the refining operations of all of the refiners. In addition, transport delay or lag is caused by a machine chest between the base refiners and tickler refiner which serves as a mixing tank for the output of the base refiners. Typical values are a time constant of five minutes and a transport lag of 3.5 minutes.\nAs discussed in the above Brewster patent, if there is a deviation of overall refining action from a set point, one would ideally desire that the maximum corrective action initially occur at the tickler refiner. Then, as the effect of subsequent control action at the base refiners is sensed, the loading of the tickler refiner is reduced back to 50% of capacity. In order to accomplish the foregoing, Brewster discloses an improved control system for adjusting the loading on the base refiners as a group.\nHowever, the prior art does not disclose an integrated control system where both the tickler and base refiners are automatically controlled such that the output of the tickler refiner is closely maintained at the desired target with only minor variations. In addition, where the base refiners are arranged in a complex series-parallel matrix no simple control method has been provided. Such a method is, of course, very important where an overall integrated control scheme is desired.\nIt is, therefore, a general object of the invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for controlling pulp refiners.\nIt is another object to provide an integrated control system for both base and tickler refiners.\nIt is another object to provide a simple control method for a complex series-parallel matrix of base refiners.\nIn accordance with the above objects there is provided a control system for controlling a predetermined process variable the system having first and second manipulated variables upon which the process variable is dependent with disparate response times. The system includes first processing means for manipulating the first variable the processing means having relatively fast dynamic response for allowing high frequency control of said variable but being restricted in control range. Second processing means manipulate the second variable such processing means having a large control range relative to the first processing means but a much longer response time relative to the fast dynamic response. The first processing means is series coupled to the output of the second processing means. Means are provided for sensing the process variable at the output of the first processing means and comparing the sensed process variable to a target value to provide an error signal. Means responsive to the error signal cause the second processing means to manipulate the second variable to fully compensate for the error signal. Feedforward means responsive to the error signal cause the first processing means to change the first manipulated variable from an optimum operating value to a value which fully compensates for the error signal and thereafter which gradually changes the value back to the optimum value in accordance with the response time of the second processing means.\nFeedforward means are responsive to said error signal for causing the first output control signal to change from an optimum operating value to initially load said tickler refiner means to fully compensate for the error signal and thereafter gradually change the loading back to the optimum value in accordance with the time delay.\nIn addition, there is provided a method of distributing the total energy requirement of a matrix of pulp refiners arranged in a plurality of parallel lines i where i = l,n each of the parallel lines having one or more refiners, j, in series where j = l,m. The method comprises initially determining the participation, Pij, of each of said refiners. Thereafter at every control interval the specific energy, Eij, required from a given refiner is determined in accordance with ##EQU1## where ET is the average specific energy of all refining and Fi is flow through a parallel path, i. Adjusting the loading on a given refiner in accordance with any change of Eij then occurs.\nFIG. 1 is a block diagram of a control system embodying the present invention;\nFIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the transfer functions of FIG. 1;\nFIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C are characteristic curves illustrating the operation of FIG. 1;\nFIG. 4 is a generalized block diagram of the base refiner portion of FIG. 1;\nFIG. 5 is a block diagram representative of an algorithm performed in the system of FIG. 1;\nFIG. 6 is a block diagram representative of another algorithm performed in the system of FIG. 1;\nFIG. 7 is an example of a series parallel matrix of base refiners; and\nFIG. 8 is a flow chart based on FIG. 1.\nReferring now to FIG. 1 there is illustrated the overall system of the present invention which is logically divided into four horizontal sections as illustrated in the drawings. These are the process section 11 where the actual processing of, for example, paper pulp is accomplished, a control section 12 which is interfaced with process section 11 by interface section 13 and an operator section 14. The process section 11 includes base refiners, R1, Ri and Rn in parallel paths which receive incoming paper pulp on a flow line 16, refines the paper pulp, and thereafter supplies it to a common machine chest 17 where it is mixed together. The n indicates any total number of parallel paths and i represents any one path. Electrical energy is consumed in each refiner and is related to the per unit mass of fiber going through each refiner. This is ternmed specific energy and its units are kilowatt-seconds per dry gallons per minute. One measure of the specific energy of the refiner or its loading is the amount of current which is required by its driving electric motor. An equivalent measure is the temperature rise of pulp across a refiner.\nA so-called tickler refiner 18 connected to the output of machine chest 17 provides for fine or high frequency control of the quality or freeness of the output stock. Although only one tickler refiner is shown two or more may be used in various series-parallel combinations. This output stock is in normal course coupled to a headbox 19 which feeds in a manner known in the art a layer of paper pulp to a rotating wire mesh 21 to initially form a paper sheet or web. The sheet is, of course, thereafter steamed, compressed and manipulated to form the final finished sheet material. A measure of the grinding or refining action of both the tickler and base refiners is termed freeness and this can be measured by a vacuum type gauge 22 located at mesh 21.\nReferring now to control section 12 the output of the vacuum gauge 22 on line 23 is compared with a vacuum target 24 and the difference on line 26 is in effect an error signal. A vacuum error may be due either to a change of target or variations in the measured value of the vacuum. The error signal on line 26 is coupled to the block 27 labeled vacuum control algorithm which has an output a specific energy change command ΔET which is coupled both to the tickler refiner 18 and the network of base refiners R1, Ri, Rn.\nIn the case of the tickler refiner, the ΔET specific energy change signal is processed by a feed forward predictor control unit 28 which has as its output on line 29 a ΔE tickler or specific energy change or loading of the tickler which is required. This is coupled to a tickler control algorithm unit 31 which effectuates the desired change in loading of tickler refiner 18 by means of tickler interface unit 32. Since the specific energy is related to both flow, F, in gallons per minute and consistency, C, which is a measure of the water content in the paper pulp flow, these values are coupled to the tickler control algorithm through the measurement lines 33 and 34. Interface unit 32 accomplishes the change of loading on line 36 of the closed loop control which is completed by the current sensing line 37 back to interface unit 32.\nIn general, the feed forward predictor control unit 28 operates on an algorithm which contains a model of the refining process. Based on this model, it will predict when the change in base refiners approaches the tickler and it will then force the tickler gradually back to its midrange with minimal or no disturbance of the vacuum reading on line 23. The result of this procedure is the tickler will always be ready for control of any upset including high frequency upsets either in the actual vacuum due to random variations or in the vacuum target.\nThe ΔE output of vacuum control algorithm 27 is also coupled to a distribution algorithm unit 38 which properly distributes the required change of specific energy to the various base refiners. In FIG. 1 only three refiners are illustrated in parallel; however, there can be a complex matrix of refiners as illustrated in FIG. 4. The output of the distribution algorithm control unit 38 is coupled to a current control algorithm unit 39 which is provided for each refiner and is interfaced with that particular refiner through an interface unit 41. The loading of these refiners is accomplished in the same manner as the tickler refiner. Also, the distribution algorithm unit 38 has as inputs the consistency, C, for the main flow line 16, the flow rate, F, for each refiner and the applied voltage, α. In addition, there are participation factors for each refiner designated P11, Pij, Pnm. The overall distribution system will be discussed below.\nTo provide for manual control, a select switch 42 allows the specific energy change line, ΔET to be disconnected and the distribution output of unit 38 to be coupled to a specific energy target line 43.\nFIG. 2 illustrates the transfer functions of the process of FIG. 1 where the feed forward predictor unit 28 has a Z function P(Z) and tickler refiner 18 has the function G2 (s) where s, of course, is the Laplace operator. Hold blocks 44 and 46, designated H(s) indicate that the system is digital in nature or that there are discrete sampling intervals, T. Finally the base refiners R1,n and the machine chest 17 are indicated with the transfer function G1 (s). The following equations (1), (2) and (3) illustrate these functions. ##EQU2## where k1 is the vacuum/base refiner, L1 is the base-vacuum transport delay, Υ1 is the base refiner-vacuum time constant, k2 is the vacuum/tickler gain, L2 the tickler-vacuum transport delay, and Υ2 the tickler-vacuum time constant. The overall process GT (s) is illustrated by equation (4). ##EQU3##\nAs may now be apparent, the general problem in the control system as illustrated in FIG. 2 is that due to the machine chest which introduces long delays, only low frequency disturbances can normally be regulated. With the introduction of the tickler refiner, it is possible to control high frequency disturbances also. However, the tickler refiner has a limited operating range and, therefore, it is important to keep the tickler at an optimum or mid range operating state so as to achieve more effective control at all times. The feed forward predictor control unit 28 with its transfer function P(Z) adjusts the tickler refiner's specific energy so as to correct immediately for changes in vacuum. Once the base refiner's effect is apparent it backs the tickler to its mid range. Of course, as discussed in conjunction with FIG. 1, both the base refiners and tickler refiner when an upset in vacuum occurs are immediately shifted to correct such error. In other words, the ΔET error signal is supplied both to the base refiners and the tickler refiners. This is clearly illustrated in FIG. 2.\nThe design criteria for the feed forward controller is illustrated by the equation (5).\nP(Z) * Z[H(s) * G2 (s)] + Z[H(s) * G1 (s)] = Z[H(s) * GT (s)] (5)\nIn words, equation (5) states that the combination of the transfer functions of the feed forward predictor, the tickler refiner and the base refiners and machine chest should equal the overall transfer function of the process with, of course, the sampling intervals being compensated for by the H(s) function. Substituting equations (1), (2) and (3) and (4) in equation (5) yields equation (6). ##EQU4## where: N1-N2 = Integer value of (L1 -L2)/T assuming that L1 >L2. T equals sampling period. Equation (6) can be simplified since in most applications the base refiners-vacuum time constant, Υ1, is at least five times the tickler refiner-vacuum time constant, Υ2. Thus, assuming Υ2 is equal to zero equation (6) becomes ##EQU5## Converting the Z transform algorithm equation (7) into the function of the specific energy, Etick, applied to the tickler and the total average specific energy, ET yields equation (8). ##EQU6## As disclosed in the above Brewster patent, specific energy may also be measured by sensing the temperature rise across a refiner rather than measuring current and flow. Thus in equation (8 ) Etick may be replaced by DTtick and ET by DTT where\nDttick = Δ temperature rise across tickler refiner, and\nDtt = average Δ temperature required.\nThe foregoing substitutions can be made throughout this description. From a computer standpoint, equation (8) may be modified to form equation (9). ##EQU7## where K1 = e- T/.sup.υ.sbsp.1\nk2 = k1 /k2\nK3 = O = e- T/.sup.υ.sbsp.2\nk4 = (l1 - l2)/t\nk5 = l - e- T/.sup.υ.sbsp.1\nn = algorithm output sequence number.\nNote that in equation (9) in practice the last term of the equation would not be used since K3 is equal to zero since Υ2 equals zero. However, if this time is significant, then the last term would be utilized and derived from the more complete equation (6).\nFIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show the operation of the feed forward algorithm when as illustrated in FIG. 3A a step change in target is created at zero iminutes. Specifically, the target change in inches of vacuum is 3.8 inches to 4.0 inches. As illustrated in FIG. 3A, in two to three minutes the vacuum has been changed to the new target and variations are less than ±0.1 inches. FIGS. 3B and 3C illustrate respectively the application of ΔET to the base refiners and the tickler refiner. Initially from a time of approximately zero to 4 minutes both the base refiners and the tickler refiner are identically loaded to accommodate the step change in vacuum. The time constant of the application of ΔET is due to the vacuum control algorithm which will be discussed below. After the 4 minute period, the base refiners' specific energy in FIG. 3B remains nearly constant over the next 25 minute period, the small variations being due to measured vacuum variations. The lower curve of FIG. 3B designated \"output response base refiners\" is the effective response at the vacuum measurement point and indicates that in approximately 31/2 to 4 minutes the effect of the change in loading of the base refiners begins to be felt. Thus, the transport lag between the base refiners and tickler is substantially 31/2 minutes; and the time constant, in other words, the 63% point, is approximately five minutes. The curve of FIG. 3B is essentially the difference between the upper curve of FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C. Finally as shown in FIG. 3C, tickler's specific energy at its mid range was 4.0 kilowatt-second/dry gpm moved to 5.1 and then gradually, using the feed forward algorithm process model, returned at approximately the 28 minute point to its initial optimum or mid range value.\nReferring now to the vacuum control algorithm unit 27, (FIG. 1) in general the overall system of base refiner control, tickler refiner control, and the feed forward predictor control appears to the vacuum control algorithm as the process with a gain equal to that of the base refiners-vacuum, a transport delay equal to that of the tickler-vacuum and a time constant equal to that of the tickler-vacuum. The vacuum control algorithm is a typical single loop, transport delay, λ tuned algorithm as illustrated in equation (10)\nΔET = Q/(G*L) [E.sub.(n) - (l-L) * En -1) ] (10)\nL = 1 - exponential [-T/TC]\nt = sample period\nTC = tickler to vacuum time constant\nQ = 1 - exponential [-LAMBDA * T]\nLambda = the reciprocal of closed loop time constant with control\nG = tickler to vacuum gain\nE.sub.(n) = present vacuum error\nE.sub.(n-1) = previous vacuum error.\nReferring now again to FIG. 1, as was discussed above, a distribution algorithm unit 38 provides for distribution of any change of specific energy among the matrix of base refiners. In many paper mill situations, a series parallel arrangement or matrix of refiners is used as illustrated in FIG. 4. In general, each of the various parallel paths are designated, i, where i varies between l and n and the numbers of refiners in series in each parallel path is designated by j which varies between l and m. Thus, a generalized refiner is given by the subscript ij. As further illustrated in FIG. 4, therefore, the following designations may be made.\nFi = Flow through refiners Rij (j=l,m) which are in series and have the same flow\nPij = Participation factor for refiner Rij\nEij = Specific energy of refiner Rij\nEt = average specific energy of all refining ##EQU8##\nThe specific energy of the given refiner, Eij is given by ##EQU9## where PT represents an overall participation factor. Since the specific energy and arrangement of series refiners is additive, then ##EQU10## Combining equations (11) and (12) gives ##EQU11## Substituting for PT of equation (13) in equation (11) gives the distribution algorithm ##EQU12## As can be seen from equation (14) the major term by which ET is multiplied will remain constant as long as the relative flow through each refiner and its participation factor remains unchanged. As discussed above, Eij may be replaced by DTij and ET by DTT.\nThe specific energy required from a given refiner is then converted to the required target current Iij using ##EQU13## where C is equal to the stock consistency through refiner Rij and α equals the line voltage (RMS voltage/1000). Specific control of refiner current is achieved by comparing the refiner currents' measured value, for example, referring to FIG. 1, the measured value of a current line returning to interface unit 41, to the target current algorithm Iij and then using typical LAMBDA tuned two term algorithm to complete the control action. Of course, as discussed above temperature measurements, T, may be used as a measure of specific energy.\nIn order to obtain the initial participation factor values the steps of FIG. 6 should be performed. Thus, Eij, the specific energy of each refiner in actual operation or a nominal value is computed by the associated equation shown in the Figure. Thereafter, the total specific energy ET is computed as shown. Next, each base refiner participation factor, Pij is obtained by multiplying the specific energy for that refiner Eij by the total participation factor, PT and dividing by the total specific energy, ET. Normally, PT is 1 but the algorithm does not necessarily require this unity relationship. Thus, the final participaton factors P11 . . . Pij . . . Pnm are computed and supplied to the distribution algorithm shown in FIG. 5. Once the system is in operation, the operator may at his option change any participation factor. When this is done the algorithm of FIG. 6 must again be computed.\nfor bumpless transfer it is preferable that the values of the participation factors be read out for the operator to be used at start up.\nWhile the control process is being carried on to manufacture, for example, paper, if any of the base refiners exceeds its high or low currents, that is, saturates, then its participation factor in the distribution algorithm shown in FIG. 5 is temporarily set to zero. Once it returns to its operating range as a result of a ΔET change opposite in sign to the one that caused it to saturate then its old participation factor is used. If any base refiner is outside of its high or low current range and any participation factor is changed by the operator then to calculate the new, Eij, the participation factor should not be set to zero.\nAn example of the application of the distribution algorithm of FIG. 5 is illustrated in FIG. 7 where two refiners E11 and E12 are in series in one parallel path which has three quarters of the flow and the other refiner E21 is in a second parallel path by itself which has one fourth of the flow. The relative participation factors are indicated. From the calculation from the term illustrated in FIG. 5 and from equation (14) ##EQU14## Therefore: ##EQU15##\nThe above distribution algorithm may also be used to control a matrix of tickler refiners.\nMoreover, the distribution algorithm is based upon specific energy for each refiner--and the control of energy is open loop; that is, the total energy required is initially specified by an operator who also selects participation percentages for each refiner as discussed in conjunction with FIG. 6. In contrast, the Brewster patent continuously measures total specific energy and uses this information in a feedback loop to control participation factors and loading of the base refiners.\nThe control concept of the present invention is in general applicable to many control situations involving other than the specific embodiment disclosed. In general, the concept relates to feedback control over a process variable (such as freeness) which, may be sensed by and which may be controlled by two manipulated variables. In the present invention the first and second manipulated variables would be the specific energy targets or the loading of the base refiners and the tickler refiner. The tickler refiner in general has a fast dynamic response which allows for high frequency or fast control of its loading; however it is restricted in control range. On the other hand the base refiners have a relatively large control range compared to the tickler refiner but a much longer response time. The response time is in part due to the inherent time constant of the base refiners themselves and the transport lag which is in part due to the machine chest connecting the base refiners to the tickler refiner. The present invention teaches how to effectively coordinate the two manipulated variables so that each one can be used to advantage guaranteeing both high frequency control and range control under all operating conditions. In other words, the high frequency control capability of the tickler refiner would be used to immediately correct any disturbance in the process and thereafter the tickler refiner can be returned to its midrange automatically and under computer control to provide a smooth transition to allow the control action of the base refiner to take effect. It is apparent that this control scheme may be applied to many other similar processes.\nFIG. 8 is a self-explanatory flow chart based on FIG. 1 with common reference numerals indicating corresponding portions from which one skilled in the art could easily code a general purpose digital computer.\nThus, from the foregoing, the present invention has provided an improved method and apparatus for controlling pulp refiners and more specifically provided an integrated control system for both base and tickler refiners and a simple control method for a complex series-parallel matrix of base refiners.\n|Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US2699095 *||Nov 10, 1953||Jan 11, 1955||Honeywell Regulator Co||Control apparatus for pulp refiners|\n|US3490689 *||Sep 23, 1966||Jan 20, 1970||Beloit Corp||Automated machine system|\n|US3568939 *||Oct 3, 1968||Mar 9, 1971||Westvaco Corp||Method and apparatus for controlling pulp refiners|\n|US3657524 *||Jun 15, 1970||Apr 18, 1972||Ibm||Dual mode process control with continuous feedback during coarse mode|\n|US3711687 *||Jun 27, 1968||Jan 16, 1973||Bunker Ramo||Computer control of parallel paper mill refiners for controlling the freeness of stock by controlling the stock temperature rise through each refiner|\n|Citing Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US4228509 *||Apr 7, 1977||Oct 14, 1980||Kennedy James P||Multivariable control system for regulating process conditions and process optimizing|\n|US4294412 *||Sep 27, 1979||Oct 13, 1981||Sca Development Aktiebolag||Method and apparatus for controlling wood pulp grinding machines|\n|US4500950 *||Apr 12, 1982||Feb 19, 1985||Westinghouse Electric Corp.||Industrial process control apparatus and method|\n|US5050063 *||Aug 1, 1989||Sep 17, 1991||Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.||Method for controlling the characteristics of an aqueous solution|\n|US6324490||Jan 25, 1999||Nov 27, 2001||J&L Fiber Services, Inc.||Monitoring system and method for a fiber processing apparatus|\n|US6752165||Mar 6, 2001||Jun 22, 2004||J & L Fiber Services, Inc.||Refiner control method and system|\n|US6778936||Mar 20, 2001||Aug 17, 2004||J & L Fiber Services, Inc.||Consistency determining method and system|\n|US6807510||May 5, 2003||Oct 19, 2004||Honeywell Acsa Inc.||Model predictive controller for coordinated cross direction and machine direction control|\n|US6892973||Jan 7, 2003||May 17, 2005||J&L Fiber Services, Inc.||Refiner disk sensor and sensor refiner disk|\n|US6938843||Jun 5, 2002||Sep 6, 2005||J & L Fiber Services, Inc.||Refiner control method and system|\n|US7104480||Mar 23, 2004||Sep 12, 2006||J&L Fiber Services, Inc.||Refiner sensor and coupling arrangement|\n|US8540845||Apr 27, 2011||Sep 24, 2013||Centre De Recherche Industrielle Du Quebec||Method and system for stabilizing dry-based density of wood chips to be fed to a chip refining process|\n|US8679293||May 2, 2008||Mar 25, 2014||Centre De Recherche Industrielle Du Quebec||System and method for optimizing lignocellulosic granular matter refining|\n|US20040225469 *||May 5, 2003||Nov 11, 2004||Backstrom Johan U.||Model predictive controller for coordinated cross direction and machine direction control|\n|US20050211809 *||Mar 23, 2004||Sep 29, 2005||J&L Fiber Services, Inc.||Refiner sensor and coupling arrangement|\n|US20070137806 *||Dec 15, 2005||Jun 21, 2007||Honeywell International Inc.||Rapid sampling assembly for thermo-mechanical pulp control application|\n|US20100121473 *||May 2, 2008||May 13, 2010||CENTRE DE RECHERCHE INDUSTRIELLE DU QUéBEC||System and method for optimizing lignocellulosic granular matter refining|\n|US20120255691 *||Dec 20, 2010||Oct 11, 2012||Karlstroem Anders||Procedure For Controlling The Pulp Quality From Refiners|\n|U.S. Classification||700/8, 162/254, 700/128, 162/252, 700/44, 162/DIG.10, 241/28, 241/33|\n|International Classification||G05B13/02, D21D1/00|\n|Cooperative Classification||Y10S162/10, G05B13/0205, D21D1/00|\n|European Classification||D21D1/00, G05B13/02A|", "label": "No"} {"text": "You are applying for CertHE Skills for the Workplace (Health and Social Care) - Weekend Study, Birmingham (September - Full Time)\nto start in September 2022\nStudying Full Time (Flexible Learning Route)\nat Birmingham Learning Centre\nPlease login using your personal email address to login to the application form (e.g. @gmail.com @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com).\nIf this is the first time you have made an application on this system, please select the ‘New User’ option.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Our Online Privacy Practices\nYour right to privacy is important to us.\nWe are keen to strike a fair balance between your privacy and ensuring you obtain full value from any other products or services that we may be able to market to you.\nInformation you provide\nAny information that you provide to us is treated as confidential.

(NYSEMKT:EGT) is a Pan-Asian gaming company that develops and operates casinos and also leases electronic gaming machines to the gaming industry. EGA's slot operations operate on a revenue participation basis to provide high-quality gaming machines to Pan-Asian gaming markets. The company mainly focuses on the Philippines and Cambodia under long-term contracts with gaming venues and hotels.\nIn addition, EGA manufactures and distributes gaming chips and Radio Frequency ID (RFID) chips under the company's Dolphin brand. RFID could prove to be the wave of the future in gaming chips. Every RFID enabled chip has a distinctive tag that contains encoding complete with the chip's monetary value and additional data. This serves to streamline chip counting accuracy and inventory procedures in the casino cages. RFID also provides a nearly unbreachable currency security for the casinos that utilize them.\nGaming chips are one of a casino's most valuable assets and EGA's high-quality embedded RFID microchips offer the following to casinos worldwide, including superior:\n- Shock resistance\n- External vibration protection\n- Destruction upon attempted removal\nIndustry insiders say that, although the RFID idea has been around for a few years now, the technology has greatly improved over the past few years and more and more casinos are using RFID every day. Since counterfeit chips can pose a major threat to many casinos, RFID embedded chips can act as a significant weapon against all types of fraud. When a casino that uses RFID technology receives a shipment of chips, those chips are absolutely worthless until the casino officially adds the serial numbers to its current inventory. The RFID technology is still developing and a full cage count is still not a reality, but will be in the near future, further creating a demand by casinos worldwide for the technology and for RFID chips from Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc., provided the company keeps up with emerging technology in RFID.\nEntertainment Gaming Asia Inc. was incorporated in Washington, as Casinovations, Inc. in 1995, then again in the state of Nevada, in 1999. Then, in 2000, the name was changed to CVI Technology, Inc. and then to VendingData Corporation the same year. Another name change to Elixir Gaming Technologies, Inc. occurred in 2007 and then again in 2010 to the company's current name, Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. Management felt that the current name tends to reflect more accurately the company's rapidly developing gaming business model, especially the most recent Cambodian hotel and casino in the Dreamworld line.\nCasinovations, Inc. initially went public in 2003 as VNDC with a price of $2.50 per share and was listed on the NYSE American Stock Exchange in 2004. Currently, Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. is traded under EGT and its CUSIP number is 29383V 206. The corporation's largest shareholder is EGT Entertainment Holding, a subsidiary of a public company that is traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange named Melco Group. Melco Group is a minority stockholder in Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd., which owns numerous resorts and hotels, including the Mocha Clubs and City of Dreams in Macau. This allows them to successfully showcase the use of many of their slots and their RFID chip tech.\nIn 2012, EGA relocated its gaming chips manufacturing facility from Australia, to Hong Kong, to save on payroll expenses and other overhead, thereby increasing that division's profits exponentially. It was estimated that this move could potentially save more than $ 1 million in overhead annually. EGA achieved vigorous improvement in plaque and gaming chip revenues, which totaled approximately $3.2 million during the first three quarters of 2012 compared with around $756,000 for that period back in 2011. Also, as of the end of the first quarter of 2013, the company carried zero debt and, at that time, EGA had a $4.5 million cash balance.\nIn addition, in order to capitalize on target market opportunities, as well as for leveraging EGA's already established presence, the company expanded all gaming operations in Indo-China under the Dreamworld brand by developing, operating and owning several new gaming clubs and casinos. EGA is currently implementing a junket program that is projected to greatly increase the number of VIP and premium players that gamble at Dreamworld Pailin, further boosting revenue.\nEntertainment Gaming Asia Inc.'s offices are located in Hong Kong, Manila, the Philippines, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, with manufacturing facilities and sales offices down under in Melbourne, Australia, as well. The company's fiscal year ends on December 31, and its quarterly, as well as annual, earnings reports are generally released within five weeks after the end of the first three quarters and nine weeks after the end of the fourth quarter. The corporation's independent auditor is currently Ernst & Young in Hong Kong and its last annual shareholders' meeting was held at the company's offices in Hong Kong in July 2012. No date has been set yet for the 2013 annual shareholders' meeting.\nBased upon EGA's rapidly growing presence in the Pan-Asian casino markets, it seems to be a fairly solid investment with gaming operations revenue reaching $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the company's plaques and gaming chips sales reached $1.4 million for the same quarter. With RFID technology and its popularity growing worldwide as casinos shore up security, it is perfectly positioned to take full advantage and get the all important Vendor relationship with Casino operators worldwide.\nDisclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

However, if you’re new to blogging, you might be wondering how long your blog posts should be. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the ideal blog post length depends on several factors, including your niche, your audience, and your goals. In this post, we’ll explore the different factors that influence blog post length and provide some tips on how to optimize your blog posts for search engines.\nBlog Post Length: The Basics\nThe length of your blog post is an essential factor that can determine its success. However, the ideal blog post length varies depending on your goals and niche. If you’re writing a blog post about a complex topic, you might need to write a longer post to cover all the information adequately. On the other hand, if you’re writing a listicle or a how-to guide, shorter posts can be more effective.\nBefore deciding on the ideal length of your blog post, it’s important to understand your audience’s preferences. Some audiences might prefer longer, in-depth posts, while others might prefer shorter, more concise posts. Understanding your audience’s preferences can help you decide on the right length for your blog posts.\nSEO and Blog Post Length\nSearch engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing your website’s content for search engines like Google. SEO is essential for driving traffic to your blog and increasing your visibility online. One factor that affects SEO is the length of your blog posts.\nGoogle’s algorithm is designed to favor longer, in-depth content. This is because longer content tends to be more informative and valuable to readers. Longer blog posts also provide more opportunities to incorporate keywords and phrases that can help improve your search engine rankings.\nHowever, it’s important to note that longer blog posts are not always better for SEO. In some cases, shorter blog posts can be more effective. For example, if you’re targeting a specific long-tail keyword, a shorter blog post that focuses specifically on that keyword can be more effective than a longer post that covers a broader topic.\nBlogging Platform and Blog Post Length\nThe platform you use for your blog can also influence the ideal length of your blog posts. Some platforms, like Medium, are designed for shorter, more concise posts. Other platforms, like WordPress, are more flexible and can accommodate longer posts.\nIf you’re using a platform that’s designed for shorter posts, it’s important to keep your content concise and to the point. If you’re using a more flexible platform, you can experiment with longer posts to see what works best for your audience.\nTips for Optimizing Your Blog Post Length\nHere are some tips to help you optimize the length of your blog posts:\n- Understand Your Audience: Before deciding on the length of your blog posts, it’s essential to understand your audience’s preferences. This can help you create content that resonates with your readers and keeps them engaged.\n- Focus on Quality, Not Quantity: While longer blog posts can be effective, it’s important to prioritize quality over quantity. Your content should be informative, engaging, and valuable to your readers, regardless of its length.\n- Incorporate Keywords: Keywords and phrases are essential for SEO, and longer blog posts provide more opportunities to incorporate them. However, it’s important to avoid keyword stuffing, as this can harm your search engine rankings.\n- Use Headings and Subheadings: Headings and subheadings can help break up your content and make it more readable. They can also help search engines understand the structure of your content.\n- Experiment with Length: The ideal length of your blog posts can vary depending on your niche and audience. Experimenting with different lengths can help you find what works best for your blog.", "label": "No"} {"text": "SCMEP offers a wide selection of training and courses.

To measure the effectiveness of the Olympic Games visual identity designs regarding their branding values, this study focused on logo design and built a framework based on design studies, image formation studies, and information transfer studies to capture the effects of design messages on consumer evaluations of event image, destination images, and logo representativeness.\nA 2 (absence and presence of event design message) x 2 (absence and presence of destination design message) x 2 (absence and presence of athletic movement design message) x 2 (nationality) x 2 (gender) experimental design was employed to test the effects of design messages on evaluations of the Olympic Games image, the host destination image, as well as the logo representativeness. The research findings show that the effects of design messages on event image and the host city image were asymmetrical and were limited to certain image dimensions. Design messages of the event, the host city, and athletic movement didn’t significantly influence consumer evaluation of the host city image, but design messages of the event and the host city did affect event type image dimension. Moreover, in general, design messages of the event and the host city can also benefit consumer evaluations of logo representativeness.\nThis study also tested the relationships between evaluations of event image, destination image, logo representativeness and consumer behavioral intentions regarding the event and its destination. Findings suggest that effects of design messages on evaluations of event and host city images are limited and asymmetrical. In general, both event design message and destination design message contributed to logo representativeness of the event and destination. The importance of evaluations of event image, destination image, and logo representativeness on consumer behavioral responses vary depends on consumer behavioral intentions are destination related or event related. Furthermore, the moderating effects of culture and gender were found in this study on evaluations of event image and destination image, as well as consumer decision-making process.", "label": "No"} {"text": "In the ever-evolving world of online gambling, no-registration casino sites have emerged as a revolutionary concept, promising a hassle-free and swift gaming experience. If you’re tired of lengthy sign-up processes and waiting for your winnings, these platforms are here to change the game. In this article, we’ll delve into the ins and outs of no-registration casinos and why they are gaining popularity among players worldwide.\nNo-registration casinos have taken the gambling world by storm, and it’s not surprising given the convenience they offer. These platforms are designed to eliminate the need for a traditional registration process, allowing players to dive into their favorite casino games within seconds. One of the pioneers in the field is kasinot-ilman-rekisteroitymista-fi.com, which caters to Finnish players seeking a seamless gaming experience. Similarly, udenlandske-casinoer.me provides a similar experience for international gamblers, particularly those in Denmark.\nHow No-Registration Casinos Work\nThe primary feature of no-registration casinos is the absence of a sign-up requirement. Instead, these platforms rely on innovative technology to verify players’ identities and facilitate swift transactions. They do this by connecting directly to players’ bank accounts, which serves as both the registration and payment method.\nTo get started on a no-registration casino site, all you need to do is make a deposit using your bank credentials. The casino verifies your identity and creates a player account for you, all in the background. This approach eliminates the need for sharing personal information and cuts down on the time it takes to start playing. It’s an ideal solution for those who value their privacy and time.\nInstant Deposits and Withdrawals\nOne of the most appealing aspects of no-registration casinos is the lightning-fast deposits and withdrawals. Traditional casinos often require you to wait for your funds to clear and then endure a withdrawal process that can take days. No-registration casinos, on the other hand, process your transactions instantly.\nWhen you’re ready to cash out your winnings, you can do so with a few clicks, and your money will be in your bank account within minutes. This quick access to your funds has been a game-changer for many players, making it easier to enjoy your winnings or recover from losses without unnecessary delays.\nAnonymity and Security\nFor players who value anonymity, no-registration casinos are a welcome alternative. Since these casinos don’t require personal information, you can enjoy your favorite games without worrying about data breaches or sharing your details with third parties. Your financial information remains secure, and you can gamble with peace of mind.\nFurthermore, these platforms operate under the strict regulations of their respective jurisdictions, ensuring that your gaming experience is fair and secure. So, you can enjoy the thrill of the game without compromising on safety.\nVariety of Games\nNo-registration casinos offer a wide range of games to cater to different preferences. You can find everything from classic table games like blackjack, roulette, and poker to a plethora of slot machines with varying themes and features. Additionally, many of these casinos also offer live dealer games, providing an immersive and interactive experience that mimics the atmosphere of a traditional casino.\nBonuses and Promotions\nJust like traditional online casinos, no-registration platforms offer enticing bonuses and promotions to attract players. You can take advantage of welcome bonuses, free spins, and other exciting offers that enhance your gaming experience and increase your chances of winning.\nThe Future of Gambling\nNo-registration casinos represent the future of online gambling. Their innovative approach to gaming, combining speed, convenience, and anonymity, has resonated with players around the world. As technology continues to advance, we can expect these casinos to become even more refined, providing an even more seamless experience for players.\nThe revolution of no-registration casino sites is changing the way we gamble online. With their no-hassle approach, fast transactions, and emphasis on privacy and security, these platforms are reshaping the industry.

The “Featured Categories” widget can insert any category to present recently published post on homepage. We suggest using combination of blog and magazine layout as displayed in demo. But, switching from one layout to another takes only a few minutes and no coding work at all.\nCarousel Slider : The Indigo homepage demo shows a big featured slider on the top above featured widgets. This slider has configuration options to display custom posts selected by admin user. The slider can display posts from categories, or custom elements like offer banners, and other elements. The slideshow has only purpose to focus on promoting important contents on the top of homepage.\nThe slider settings can manage contents, slide transition, and everything related to slideshow.\nResponsive Layout : Blog visitors can browse articles, category archives, home sections and menus from their devices. The fluid responsive layout can resize slider, featured post sections, and single post contents for any screen type. Visitors can browse from any screen resolution and this WordPress theme will automatically resize content as user’s device need.\nBenefits – WPZoom Best Magazine Theme :\nBlog Layouts : As we said earlier that Indigo is a modern blogging theme with mixture of magazine style. The blog page can use any layout from 3 options that include : Traditional, List View and Multiple columns (2,3). You can manage featured image size, excerpt and sidebar. The blog can choose full-width or widgetized sidebar from settings page.\nThe pagination options provide numbered buttons or infinite scroll with jetpack support. The blog listing page looks interesting when it shows featured entries with proper alignment and clear titles.\nSingle Post : Bloggers can optimize single post by showing big featured images and custom shortcode elements. The jetpack plugin offers support to display Related posts and sharing buttons. The post navigation section shows Next/Previous post with big featured thumbnails. Hence, readers are always left with a choice to browse more contents.\nAuthor highlight box promotes introduction and social links so that readers can follow their favourite writers.\nSticky Sidebar : Most of the blog platforms use widgetized page layout to display banners, categories and other elements on sidebar. But sidebar becomes invisible when user scrolls to the bottom on long pages. WPZOOM have provided sticky sidebar that floats along with page scrolling process. Hence, user never loose the touch with sidebar widgets and can get choice to access custom links highlighted on sidebar.\nOther Features – Indigo WordPress Theme :\nHeader : The header includes a large space to display logo and slogan text so that big magazines can promote their brand with confidence.

WPZOOM provides custom widgets package to place banners, author box, categories, tags, newsletter and social links. One of the best widget is tabbed section that shows multiple widgets under single block.\nTabbed widgets mostly look suitable to display most viewed, or most commented posts. Widget areas like footer and sidebar can help bloggers increase social followers, email subscribers, and page-views.\nCustomizer : We have always seen WordPress as best CMS especially for novice who don’t know coding. This developer offers all theme options with back-end options panel powered by ZOOM framework. Hence, administrators can manage home, banners, general and other framework related options.

Specifically, the statute provided that:\nA telemarketer shall not make or cause to be made any telemarketing sales call to a commercial mobile service device of any customer, except that a telemarketer that is a commercial mobile services company may call its customer using its commercial mobile services if its customer will not incur telecommunication charges or a usage allocation deduction as a result of the call and the call is directly related to the commercial mobile services of the commercial mobile services company, unless the customer has stated to the commercial mobile services company that the customer no longer desires to receive these calls.\nN.J. Rev. Stat. § 56:8-130(a).\nAs amended by Senate Bill 1382, the statute now provides that “[a] telemarketer shall not make or cause to be made any unsolicited telemarketing sales call to a commercial mobile service device of any customer ….” Id. (emphasis added).\n“Telemarketing sales call” is defined as “a telephone call made by a telemarketer to a customer as part of a plan, program or campaign to encourage the purchase or rental of, or investment in, merchandise, except for continuing services.” Id. at § 56:8-120.\n“Unsolicited telemarketing sales call” means “any telemarketing sales call other than a call made: 1) in response to an express written request of the customer called; or 2) to an existing customer, which shall include the ability to collect on accounts and follow up on contractual obligations, unless the customer has stated to the telemarketer that the customer no longer desires to receive the telemarketing sales calls of the telemarketer.” Id.\nTherefore, while companies are still prohibited from making unsolicited telemarketing sales calls unless the call is from a commercial mobile service company to its customers and related to the company’s mobile services, New Jersey now permits telemarketing sales calls to mobile devices when the call is made to an existing customer or in response to the customer’s written request.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The contents of this Web Site are owned by Silkroad Accounting and are protected by copyright, trademark and other forms of applicable intellectual property rights.

These charts are highly customizable, as they can include student names, pictures, APIDs, database fields, grades, and averages. You can enter a descriptive seating chart name, set the teacher's position in the room, and configure the seat arrangement grid's size and order. Once the chart is set up, you can arrange students within the grid.\nFor more information on seating charts, see any of the following:\nAttendance Entry Methods\nBy default, if you don't assign an attendance code to a student, that student is marked present when you submit attendance. This means that, on days when your entire class is present, you can submit attendance without assigning any attendance codes. When you need to assign attendance codes because a student is absent or tardy, you can mark attendance in your gradebook's attendance column, in your class seating chart, or in the attendance weekly view. You can also un-submit, correct, and then resubmit attendance using the same methods.\nFor more information on attendance entry, see the following:\nClass Attendance Report\nTo get a customized report of class absences, tardies, or both, you can view the class attendance report.

(NASDAQ: PVSW) common stock from $8.50 per share to $9.00 per share in cash, increasing the proposed equity transaction value to approximately $164.1 million, conditioned on being permitted to complete confirmatory due diligence.\nActian disclosed that Pervasive (a) has demanded that Actian sign a standstill that would prohibit Actian from communicating publicly or presenting its offer to Pervasive's shareholders for one year even if Pervasive's board declines to proceed with any transaction, (b) has refused to include Actian's lender in Actian's group that would be given access for due diligence, and © has required that any confidential information be used only in a \"negotiated transaction.\"\n\"We believe Pervasive's positions are intended to keep a transaction from happening, and we know they would deny Pervasive's shareholders the opportunity to consider our offer. Opportunities like this do not sit idly for a year,\" said Actian's Chief Executive Officer, Steve Shine.\nActian also disclosed that it has advised the Pervasive board in writing that Actian is prepared to increase its proposed price as publicly announced today, and is willing to accept a 30-day standstill to allow Pervasive to complete its process, but that Pervasive continues to refuse access unless Actian accepts the restrictions outlined above.\nThe new proposed price of $9.00 per share is well above the highest level reached by Pervasive's common stock the ten years prior to the last trading day before Actian's public announcement of its initial $8.50 bid for Pervasive. It also represents a premium of:\n37% over Pervasive's closing price of $6.55 on August 10, 2012;\n35% over Pervasive's average closing price for the 90 days ending on August 10, 2012; and\n- 49% over Pervasive's average closing price for the two years ending on August 10, 2012.\nActian is proposing this very significant increase to enable Pervasive to conclude its process, and Actian again requests that Pervasive enter into a period of exclusive discussions with Actian, as it believes that working together, the companies can quickly consummate a transaction. Actian notes that more than two months have gone by since its proposal was made public and that Pervasive has publicly solicited for bidders for over a month, yet Actian is not aware of any other party having made a firm bid.\nActian CEO Shine added: \"This is a compelling offer for stock and option holders, and the combined business will be better for both employees and customers. We hope that Pervasive will proceed in the best interest of its shareholders, as well as its key employees and customers.\"\nAs previously announced, Actian has obtained committed financing from TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (\"TPG\"), in support of its previously-announced all-cash offer to acquire all of the common stock of Pervasive.\nActian's proposal and TPG's financing commitment are subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including confirmatory due diligence, execution of definitive agreements and the receipt of all necessary stockholder and regulatory approvals.\nAbout Actian: Take Action on Big Data\nActian Corporation enables organizations to transform big data into business value with data management solutions to transact, analyze, and take automated action across their business operations.

Before we get to Chapter 4: The Beginner’s Guide to Facebook Ad Types, lets go over how campaign creation works with AdEspresso. How to Get Facebook ads Approved | 2 Main Reasons for Disapproved ads\nThe upper copy is a little ambiguous. To me, the connection between “taking care of your needs” and operating an ecommerce business isn’t immediately obvious, but overall, this is another great example of how Facebook’s visual ads can fit well in users’ News Feeds, leverage aspirational messaging to great effect, and how brand continuity across multiple ads can be very compelling and effective. Install Your Facebook Pixel and Create Custom Conversions with Facebook Ads\nThis type of ad appears directly in a user's News Feed when they access Facebook on a desktop computer, and it looks more like native advertising. In our experience, these ads have a higher engagement rate than right column ads, but they can also be more expensive. These ads must follow organic Facebook posts best practices and be both engaging and visual. How to prepare and market using Facebook Ads\nFacebook retargeting may be geared towards capturing those who have already visited your site, but this doesn’t mean you can’t still use the retargeting information to build brand awareness by reaching those who haven’t yet heard of you.

How to Create Facebook Ads That WORK in 2019\n$5-10 dollar a day is a feasible budget for most small or local business such a La Tana to get their feet wet in FB advertising. After you have gotten the right converting ad formula down, feel free to increase your budget an extra $5-10 dollars a day. Of course, the higher the budget, the greater your reach. I recently worked on a Facebook ad project for a supplement company. Their budget was a whopping $100 per day(estimated daily reach of 8,000-21,000 people).\nFacebook’s advertising platform has evolved to be very complex. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of planning a successful campaign – as long as you know how to work WITH the system. We have frequent conversations with our partners at Facebook and are often briefed on tactics that most people may not know. Here are five best practices for Facebook Ads – straight from Facebook!\nIf you only want to place the code on specific pages, posts, and custom post types you can use a plugin such as Facebook Conversion Pixel. With this plugin you can enable the plugin to work with various posts, pages, and post types including WooCommerce and others. For example you can enable the Product post type and place the code on your checkout page for easy tracking. F8 2019: Facebook: Product Optimization with Adaptive Experimentation\nContrary to popular belief, I’ve written Facebook ads with copy that was over four pages long in a word document—that directly led to over six figures in sales. Of course, this will only work for in-newsfeed ads that are presented as a post, so make the first three to four lines as compelling as possible so they’ll want to click on “read more.” If people are going to click through and become a lead, they’re naturally going to have objections to giving their email or other contact information away. These are things people protect like their lives depend on it, especially in 2018. They want to know that what they’re getting in return for their information will be valuable and align with their needs, and of course, that they won’t get spammed.\nThere’s no right type of group for all businesses. If you want to encourage lots of public discussion, a public group might be your best bet. If your business deals with an area of life that people consider to be personal or private, you might want to consider a closed group so that people feel comfortable sharing thoughts that they might not want to be publicly visible. A secret group could even be a fit, if your goal is to offer a super-exclusive online meeting place—for premium members of your subscription site, for example.\nDisclaimer: We spend hours researching and writing our articles and strive to provide accurate, up-to-date content.

Google Analytics is a free tool that shows the behavior and other information, such as demographics and device type used, of website visitors from social networks. This and other commercial offers can aid marketers in choosing the most effective social networks and social media marketing activities. Top Reports in Google Analytics for 2019\nI am trying to set up a marketing agency on FB business manager, I just got my first client, while helping him set up his own business manager, I learned that he doesn’t have a credit card. He asked me if I could run ads for him and bill from my credit card tied to my ad account and I bill him on a monthly basis, I was a little hesitant, would this case impose any risk on my account? I heard that FB checks credit card name and billing address against user account info.\nWith each of these segments you have the (highly recommended) option of adding layered behavioral, demographic, and interest targeting to refine your audience. Don’t just settle for getting your ads in front of prospects and customers who have previously interacted with your brand—layering traditional Facebook targeting atop those lists can help you reach the most qualified prospects.

This is highly valuable because warm audiences are closer to buying, as they have already shown an interest in your products or services. When a site visitor peruses your website but takes no actions on it, you can surmise that the user was likely early in the decision-making process and not ready to take action. This indicates that additional sales fostering is required. How To Build An Email List - Build An Email List With Facebook\nAudience Insights is a tool which allows you to pull from self-reported Facebook data (information given by Facebook users when they fill in their profiles) and third-party data (information like household income, purchasing behavior, etc. pulled from external partners) to create new audiences. Where specifically does this data come from? Facebook gives you three options: glean insights from everyone on Facebook, from people connected to your Page, or from an existing Custom Audience.\nLadies and gentlemen, this is the Great Conversion Rate Optimization Fairy Tale. Once upon a time, a self-professed marketing guru told you it's really important that you optimize your site. They shared one example where the author changed the button color, or the font spacing, or the image. Lo and behold, the advertiser's conversion rate jumped by 2-7%. How to Make a CUSTOM THUMBNAIL on Sharefactory! (FOR YOUTUBE VIDEOS) (EASY)", "label": "No"} {"text": "The original article was published in LinkedIn on May 17, 2017.\nDuring fantastic Induced Seismicity sessions at the Calgary GeoConvention, many speakers commented on the inadequate depth accuracy of their data; “700 m uncertainty, that’s unacceptable!” I saw shocked faces, nods, and heads shaking in disagreement.\nWell, wait a minute! Why the varied reactions? Is 700 m good or bad?\nIndeed we do need to know where induced events are coming from. We need to know this to design better horizontal drilling and completion programs (or disposal programs), to know where to map faults for hazard assessment and mitigation, to build better models, we need to allay fears of ground water contamination (even if faults aren’t slipping kilometers up towards the surface, we still need to be able to prove to the public, and potentially lawmakers, that this isn’t the case).\nBut while criticizing the event uncertainty, nobody discussed the design of the arrays used to capture the presented data. This, I would argue, is the single, most important factor in deciding if 700 m accuracy is really terrible, quite reasonable, or perhaps even impressive. Yes, picking error and velocity model assumptions contribute to location accuracy, but processing doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have adequate data to process.\nWe are quite good at figuring out the lateral positioning of event, for the very reason that it is easy for us to put out a spread of sensors on the ground over the affected area. Depth is tricky because it is very difficult to fill an underground volume with sensors – the notable exception being underground mining where sensors can be placed in a 3D volume throughout the mine. We get around this by putting more and more sensors on the ground in a targeted area – the better accuracy we want, the more sensors we need (think satellites to get a GPS location). Surface arrays with a hundred to thousands of sensors are routinely used to measure fracturing in rock as loud as my fingers typing on this keyboard. Arrays built to monitor for induced seismicity typically use fewer stations because the events are bigger and easy to ‘hear’.\nLet’s get back to the question – how good is 700 m uncertainty? The short answer? It’s a question of scale. Let’s consider an array of 5 sensors placed within a 5 km radius of a multilateral pad (ie, many horizontal wellbores). Because the sensors are concentrated where the event is likely to be, we should be able to come up with a good location. In this case, a solution with 700 m resolution would leave us with more questions than answers and may not meet certain government regulations. So 700 m isn’t great.\nNow take those 5 sensors and spread them all over Alberta. The uncertainty is now on the scale of many kilometers because the sensors are far from the event (just like it’s harder for our ears to pinpoint the source of a noise that is far away). So a solution with 700 m uncertainty would be astonishingly fantastic! In fact at this scale seismologists often have to use a fixed depth to get an event epicentre (something to remember the next time you are perusing NRCAN’s Earthquakes Canada site).\nWhat would it take to get that multilateral pad case from 700 m to 10 m? It takes substantially more sensors and a lot more money, which isn’t a scalable solution for companies in the best of times. That scale of uncertainty is even a challenge for denser microseismic monitoring of any kind.\nIf 700 m seems so outrageous, or even 500 m as is often used as a design target, are we under-designing our arrays or are we simply expecting too much from the arrays we opt to put in the ground?\n* Special thanks to Mrs. Mamer who shared this article on our blog.", "label": "No"} {"text": "CQMS is a developer of domestic medical device sensor modules, such as low frequency massage device, tonometer, gluco-meter, and thermometer.

And we need to check which of these graphs represents this exponential function. There are two different ways in which we can approach this question. The first way might be to consider what the function 𝑦 equals two to the power of 𝑥 would look like. We could draw a table of values and then select a few different 𝑥-values and work out the corresponding 𝑦-values. So when 𝑥 is equal to zero, 𝑦 is equal to two to the power of zero. And since any value to the power of zero is one, then we have a 𝑦-value of one. When 𝑥 is equal to one, the 𝑦-value is two to the power of one, which is simply two. When the 𝑥-value is two, the 𝑦-value is four. And when the 𝑥-value is three, the 𝑦-value is eight.\nWe could then sketch a quick graph of the curve going through the points zero, one; one, two; two, four; and three, eight. And then we need to consider how the function 𝑦 equals two to the power 𝑥 is different to the function 𝑦 equals negative four times two to the power 𝑥. We can remember that a function 𝑓 of 𝑥 equals 𝑐 times 𝑏 to the power 𝑥 is a vertical stretch of the function 𝑓 of 𝑥 equals 𝑏 to the power 𝑥 by a scale factor of 𝑐. We can also note that this graph of 𝑓 of 𝑥 equals 𝑐 times 𝑏 to the power of 𝑥 will pass through the point zero, 𝑐. Furthermore, in this function, we have a 𝑐-value of negative four, which is negative. And so there’s also another transformation that occurs.\nWe can say that when 𝑐 is less than zero, the function 𝑓 of 𝑥 equals 𝑏 to the power of 𝑥 is reflected in the horizontal axis and then stretched vertically by a factor of 𝑐 units. Let’s see what this function 𝑦 equals two to the power of 𝑥 would look like after just the reflection in the horizontal axis. So here’s the function 𝑦 equals negative two to the power 𝑥. We can see, for example, that the coordinate zero, one has been reflected to the coordinate zero, negative one. We still need to perform this vertical stretch. And here we have the function 𝑦 equals negative four times two to the power 𝑥. Notice that the 𝑦-intercept is at zero, negative four. Therefore, which of the four graphs (A), (B), (C), or (D) indicate the same shape and features of the graph we have sketched?\nWell, although both graphs (C) and (D) have the same overall shape, it is only option (D) which has the same 𝑦-intercept of zero, negative four. We could then give the answer that graph (D) represents this function. The alternative method to working out the answer is by using the available answer options. We would work out the 𝑥- and 𝑦-values of some coordinates in the given function and then look at the different functions represented to see which also pass through these same coordinates. Let’s take the 𝑥-values of zero, one, and two. When 𝑥 is equal to zero, the 𝑦-value is equal to negative four times two to the power zero. This simplifies to negative four times one, and so 𝑦 is equal to negative four. The coordinate zero, negative four will lie on the function.\nAt this point, we can eliminate answer option (A) and answer option (C) as the only two functions here which have the coordinate zero, negative four are graphs (B) and (D). We’ll need to work out at least one more coordinate to determine which graph is correct. So when 𝑥 is equal to one, we have a 𝑦-value which is negative four times two to the power one. That’s negative four times two, which gives us a value of negative eight. The coordinate one, negative eight is in the graph in option (D). However, it is not in option (B). We don’t need to work out any further coordinate values in order to give the answer that it is option (D) which represents the function 𝑦 equals negative four times two to the power 𝑥.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Grow your business with LoyaltyLion Book a Demo Today\nLosing a valuable repeat customer is expensive.

ClickFunnels has this ability with Actionetics, but it’s not virtually as advanced as Infusionsoft.\nInfusionsoft is also incredibly pricey as well as forces every new customer to pay $2000 for an obligatory kickstart coaching package just to find out how to utilize the complex system (which is notoriously hard to make use of).\nClickFunnels Associate Program\nThere are two main paths people decrease as ClickFunnels individuals.\nThose that prefer to utilize the device for their company – in hopes of someday attain the Two Comma Club (over $1M in revenue).\nAnd also those that are interested in earning passive earnings as a ClickFunnels Associate and winning the Desire Cars and truck Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 towards your desire vehicle if you reach 100/200 active regular monthly signups, respectively).\nWith a tremendous 40% monthly persisting compensation, ClickFunnels quickly has one of the greatest associate programs of any kind of platform available.\nThat’s right – you earn money an ongoing 40% compensation on every associate signup you make via the ClickFunnels Associate Program. But, what does that truly relate to?\nThe fundamental plan is a $97/month investment and the Etison Collection plan is a $297/month investment. consequently you make $38.80 each standard strategy and $118.80 per Etison Collection plan … every single month!\nTypically, every 100 signups will certainly generate $4000/month in affiliate compensations (basically depending upon how many Etison Strategy users remain in there).\nAll-time Low Line\nClickFunnels is by far the best system if you are seeking to easily construct high converting sales funnels.\nDue to the fact that it was developed from the ground up to be the very best sales funnel building contractor, it vanquishes all of the competitors in that respect.\nExternally, it could not be the cheapest product out there – yet if you utilize it to its complete ability, your organisation will certainly come to be extra rewarding as well as you will conserve loan from not having to utilize various other tools.

One expression I learned from watching a cooking show: \"Looks the same, cooks the same\"âa reminder to chop and dice ingredients uniformly for even cooking. Word embeddings are typically applied to linguistic and semantic tasks, however we show that word embeddings can be used to predict complex theoretically- and practically- relevant human perceptions and evaluations in domains as diverse as social cognition, health behavior, risk perception, organizational behavior, and marketing. Semantic memory is a fundamental part of our daily life. It is a long term memory. Don't rush to get your running shoes on just yet, though. Adult semantic memory has been traditionally conceptualized as a relatively static memory system that consists of knowledge about the world, concepts, and symbols.

In this paper we survey the techniques used in such a simulation. Examples of this type of memory include knowing what an object is, the name of a color, or knowing the name of a president. Both kinds of memories can weaken with age because the brain loses cells critical to those connections between neurons over time--but that's not inevitable. What kind of shoe is it? Models representing meaning as high-dimensional numerical vectors (such as LSA, HAL, BEAGLE, Topic Models, GloVe or word2vec) have been introduced as extremely powerful machine-learning proxies for human semantic representations, and have seen an explosive rise in popularity over the last two decades. We examine how the structure is related to a number of factors that have been argued to differ between concrete and abstract words, namely imageability, age of acquisition, hedonic valence, contextual diversity, and semantic diversity.

Research suggests that on average the human brain can hold 4 different items in its working (short-term) memory. But before a memory is cemented into long-term memory as episodic memory, it must pass through the semantic memory, noted Endel Tulving of the University of Toronto in his book, Elements of Episodic Memory . The documents generated were analyzed mainly using semantic methods. memory. Dual coding theory: Retrospect and, representation of semantic knowledge in the human. Z . Based on the assumption that certain model parameters can be given a psychological interpretation, we start from “healthy” models, and generate “lesioned” models, by manipulating the parameters. The use of negative information in developing a representation of semantic information is often thought to be intimately associated with word2vec's prediction process. Then, the second step is to peg (or anchor) that image onto the place you will remember it. (1998). This type refers to involuntary retrieval of a random word, image, or concept.

(ii) The network science approach enables cognitive scientists to achieve a deeper understanding of human cognition by capturing how the structure, i.e., the underlying network, and processes operating on a network structure interact to produce behavioral phenomena. This paper (1) reviews traditional and modern computational models of semantic memory, within the umbrella of network (free association-based), feature (property generation norms-based), and distributional semantic (natural language corpora-based) models, (2) discusses the contribution of these models to important debates in the literature regarding knowledge representation (localist vs. distributed representations) and learning (error-free/Hebbian learning vs. error-driven/predictive learning), and (3) evaluates how modern computational models (neural network, retrieval-based, and topic models) are revisiting the traditional \"static\" conceptualization of semantic memory and tackling important challenges in semantic modeling such as addressing temporal, contextual, and attentional influences , as well as incorporating grounding and compositionality into semantic representations.

In order to engineer circuits of similar complexity and thus “program” biology we need\nto develop molecular tools for (i) accurate detection of complex cellular states and (ii) control and\nmodulation of those states. Our lab takes a comprehensive approach for solving these problems using\nnucleic acid-based molecular circuitry.\nNucleic acids play a dual role in biology: their sequences and expression levels store in-\nformation about the state of a cell and regulatory RNAs also actively influence that state. MicroRNAs\n(miRNAs) are now believed to regulate around 30% of all protein-coding genes in humans.\nNucleic acids are an ideal substrate for rationally designing synthetic regulatory elements, because\ntheir interactions can be predicted from their sequence.\nIn vitro nucleic acid circuits.\nWe have implemented multi-layered\nnucleic acid logic circuits that function reliably in an aqueous, cell-free environment.\nHybridization reactions provide the free energy to move computation forward and Watson-Crick base pairing between modular recognition domains determines the connectivity of circuit components. Circuits\nembody key design principles of digital electronics: logic, cascading, restoration, fan-in/fan-out and\nmodularity. Our approach demonstrates that adherence to these principles provides a viable path\ntowards the de novo construction of biochemical reaction networks.\nEstimates of the size of a minimal genome\nrange from about 50 to around 450 genes. Thus, synthetic\nbiochemical reaction networks with just a few hundred components\nwould approach the computational complexity (although\nnot necessarily the chemical variety) of the circuitry required for a simple\nbiological organism. It is likely that such complexity can be\nreached using only nucleic acid components.\nWorking in vitro it is possible to rapidly scale up circuit complexity,\nto explore new modes of molecular computation,\nand to quantitatively characterize circuit behavior without degradation of DNA or RNA\nthat may occur in a cell. These experiments represent a foundation\nfor developing in vivo computation using related molecular\nRNA tools for conditonal gene regulation\nIn order to program biological systems we need to develop molecular components that work reliably in a cellular environment. We are currently working on giving proof of principle that\nsynthetic nucleic acid logic gates can detect mRNA and microRNA inside cells and,\nin response to varying expression patterns, can differentially regulate target genes.\nTarget regulation is achieved by coupling synthetic circuitry to existing cellular pathways like the RNAi pathway. Synthetic nucleic acid systems for conditional gene regulation have potentially interesting application as \"smart drugs\" since they allow to restrict gene knockdown to a subset of cells characterized by a specific gene expression pattern.\nWe are characterizing circuit properties quantitatively and on the single cell level using\nfluorescence time-lapse microscopy techniques and cultured mammalian cells. Quantitative understanding is required for optimizing component designs and for subsequent construction of multi-component circuits.\nRe-engineering the RNAi/microRNA pathway.\nThe miRNA pathway provides an ideal starting point\nfor genetically engineering synthetic regulatory networks that are fully integrated with the cellular\nenvironment. MicroRNA-based gene regulation relies on Crick-Watson base pairing and is relatively\npredictable. We also know how to add new miRNAs to a cellular network or how to inactivate existing\nones. We want to demonstrate that synthetic miRNA circuits are capable of guiding complex cellular processes\nlike differentiation. Such an engineering approach will further our understanding of\neukaryotic gene regulation. As a first step in this direction we are currently also investigating the dynamics of biological microRNA.\n©2009 University of Washington.

Leaders need actionable, timely information about program impact to keep their goals on track. However, many organizations lack effective learning evaluation programs that could provide these insights. Of the 556 respondents to TiER1 Performance’s 2023 Learning Trends Report, just 5 percent report that they generally use research-supported evaluation practices, while 64 percent feel unable to do the kinds of learning evaluation that they want to do.\nWhat will help us better our evaluation process and create successful learning programs? Let’s learn from a Canadian energy company that developed both the capabilities of its learning team and a suite of powerful evaluation tools in less than nine months.\nBreaking GroundIn mid-2022, the learning team at this company approached our company, TiER1, for help with evaluating a key program intended to provide foundational training for shovel supervisors in one of their mines.\nTo get the most from the partnership, we adopted a hybrid model where the company’s team could learn from and work alongside Will Thalheimer, PhD, MBA, an internationally recognized learning evaluation expert and author of an award-winning book on performance-focused learner surveys. Through this hybrid model, the company’s team would gain three main takeaways:\n- Actionable, high-impact insights to improve the pilot course\n- The skills to repeat this process for other courses\n- Valuable experience with this learning evaluation approach to share with others across the company\nDigging InTo become full partners in evaluation, the core team spent time building shared values and a common language.\nWe conducted research and interviews with key stakeholders, instructors, and recent learners to better understand the needs of shovel supervisors and the goals for the course. Digging in further, the team engaged in a series of six two-hour collaborative workshops to develop foundational skills in the design of metrics, studies, surveys, and scenarios and to apply these skills to the project context.\nWe then developed appropriate metrics and measuring tools, using the Learning Transfer Evaluation Model (LTEM) developed by Will Thalheimer to guide our work. LTEM helps teams make decisions about the kinds of data to collect for a multidimensional picture of a learning program’s effectiveness. For instance, to measure job performance, we identified key behavioral indicators (KBIs) that would show whether course objectives were really being applied on the job.\nWe planned a time-series study, in which we would compare the data before training and at multiple points after the training, to assess the impact the training had on the learners.\nWhat we wanted to measure:\n- Job performance\n- Task competence\n- Decision-making skills\n- Learner perceptions of performance impact\nHow we measured it:\n- Anonymous self-evaluations of KBIs\n- Capability checklists\n- Scenario questions\n- Performance-focused learner surveys\nDeveloping the evaluation instruments was an iterative process, involving multiple stages of team discussion, review, and revision. For example, we validated scenario questions with both experts and nonexperts. Listening to experts “think aloud” through their answers helped us ensure that the questions assessed decision making based on the intended learning points. Testing with nonexperts helped us identify and remove wording that could make the answers easier to guess.\nStaying GroundedThe project faced challenges, but the team persevered in excavating insights and expanding their learning evaluation capability.\nWe ran into obstacles with implementing the time-series study as envisioned, as the number of learners entering the program dropped significantly right before our planned start for the study. Because our sample size was too small to perform meaningful data analysis, we ultimately derived the most reliable insights from research-inspired benchmarking based on our initial interviews and observations.\nDespite this setback, we still achieved several important outcomes:\n- Identifying strengths and opportunities for improvement in the shovel supervisor training program\n- Developing evaluation tools that can be used in the future for additional mine training programs\n- Informing the learning evaluation strategy for programs at the company\n- Gaining skill and confidence in evaluating learning programs that we were able to transfer to other contexts\nFueling DiscoveryResearch-based evaluation methods such as LTEM help us leverage learning and performance experiences of all kinds to uncover insights and achieve goals. This project illustrates how collaboration and learning science can be combined to create a solution that delivers high performance, develops teams, and drives business results.\nLearning evaluation projects come in many shapes and sizes.

Florida permits online casino gaming, but with specific regulations that safeguard players while ensuring fair play.\nThe state’s regulatory framework is designed to protect consumer interests, promote responsible gaming, and ensure the integrity of gaming operations. Staying informed about these regulations, including any updates or changes, is essential for both new and experienced players.\nThis knowledge not only ensures compliance with state laws but also helps in identifying reputable and trustworthy online casinos.\n- Legal Age and Verification: Ensure you meet the legal age requirement of 21.

Here are key factors to consider:\n- Game Variety: Look for casinos offering a wide range of games, including slots, table games, and live dealer options.\n- User Experience: A user-friendly interface and smooth navigation are essential for an enjoyable gaming experience. Prioritize platforms with intuitive layouts and reliable customer support.\nIn selecting the right platform, also consider the quality of graphics and sound, as these greatly enhance the gaming experience.

Read the terms and conditions to understand wagering requirements.\n- Loyalty Programs: Participate in loyalty programs for additional perks like free spins, cashback offers, and exclusive access to new games.\nWhen maximizing bonuses and promotions, it’s important to understand the different types of offers available, such as no-deposit bonuses, reload bonuses, and high-roller rewards. Compare the offers from different casinos to find the most beneficial ones. Additionally, keep an eye on time-limited promotions and special events that can offer exceptional value. Remember, bonuses can significantly enhance your playing capital, but they should be used wisely and with a clear understanding of the associated terms and conditions.\nSmart Financial Management\nResponsible gambling involves smart financial management. Here are tips to manage your funds effectively:\n- Setting Budgets: Determine a gaming budget and stick to it. Avoid chasing losses or spending beyond your means.\n- Payment Methods: Choose casinos that offer secure and diverse payment options. E-wallets and cryptocurrencies often provide quicker withdrawals and enhanced security.\nEffective financial management also includes understanding the different withdrawal policies and transaction fees associated with various payment methods. Be aware of the processing times for deposits and withdrawals, as these can vary significantly between casinos and payment options.\nIt’s also wise to keep records of your transactions and gaming history to monitor your spending and help with responsible gaming practices. This approach not only helps in managing your bankroll but also ensures a safer and more controlled gaming experience.\nStaying Informed and Safe\nStaying informed and prioritizing safety are key to a positive online casino experience in Florida.\n- Regular Updates: Stay updated with the latest gaming trends, legal changes, and technological advancements in Florida’s online casino industry.\n- Data Security: Choose casinos that employ advanced encryption technologies to protect your personal and financial data.\nIn addition to these measures, it’s important to be aware of the signs of problematic gaming behavior and know where to seek help if needed.

Previously, you would need to make use of different platforms as well as tools to accomplish all of these tasks such as:\n- Produce a website\n- Locate Hosting\n- Find an autoresponder solution\n- Discover membership website software program\n- Discover split-testing software program … etc\nHowever ClickFunnels looks after every little thing with their platform. You not just save a ton of money by not needing to buy different products/services, yet you additionally prevent the technical mess of needing to set every little thing up, and also can concentrate on exactly what’s truly essential – expanding your business.\nClickFunnels provides a Free 14-Day Test, so you reach discover the device as well as really see if it’s right for your organisation.\n* Swiftly Create Pages Utilizing Themes and also Elements *.\nPrior to getting as well far, it is very important to understand that a channel is a collection of pages created in a calculated order, with the objective of converting as numerous leads right into clients. And also a page is merely a collection of different components created to get a person to take a particular action.\nClickFunnels uses even more compared to 50 different aspects in order to help you construct the ideal web page. The editor is exceptionally very easy to make use of and also all you have to do is drag as well as drop various aspects on the page, and also update the message and appearance to fit your requirements – no coding skills required!\nClickFunnels also makes your life less complicated by supplying you with a lots of complimentary design templates.\nActually, ClickFunnels supplies over 37 types of pages for you to mix and also match with.

I very recommend experiencing those since they promptly enable you to make use of the device at its complete ability, and also you’ll have extra enjoyable playing around. Active Campaign Tags\n* Develop One-Click Membership Websites *.\nOne of the most effective attributes with ClickFunnels is the capacity to quickly create membership websites and also deliver material to your target market in one place.\nYour subscription site will come full with registration web pages, membership access pages, as well as web content pages which you could easily secure or leak feed to your clients inning accordance with purchases they made in your channel.\nClickFunnels membership sites enable you to send e-mails, quickly handle your emails, as well as develop a community all while getting rid of the anxiety that’s related to various other services such as Kajabi, or WordPress systems.\nIt’s really helpful to not have to acquire a different software program or plugin to produce membership sites.\n* Email Combination & Actionetics *.\nWith every channel comes email listing structure chances.\nClickFunnels supports e-mail assimilation with every one of the significant email automation platforms such as:\n- Active Campaign\n- Constant Contact\n- Get Response\n- Mad Mimi\n- Market Hero\n- And others\nNevertheless, ClickFunnels additionally has their own effective automation device called Actionetics.\nAlthough you could develop, timetable, and deliver emails similar to any other email advertising platform, Actionetics is a lot extra.\nI like Actionetics since it not only changes your email marketing however messenger advertising and marketing and SMS advertising and marketing softwares too. This takes automation to an entire brand-new level and aids you connect the best message to your consumers, exactly when they need it. A video clip introduction of Actionetics will certainly be provided further listed below.\n* Billing and also Payment Integration *.\nAn amazing attribute within ClickFunnels is the ability to accumulate every one of the billing details from your consumers precisely your sales page. Marketing is made a lot less complicated when customers don’t need to leave your website.\nClickFunnels incorporates with major repayment entrances such as PayPal, Stripe, and InfusionSoft, to name a few.\nWhile you can begin with the Free 14-Day Test, there are 3 various pricing alternatives with ClickFunnels:\n- $ 97/month.\n- $ 297/month.\n- $ 997 mass price cut plan (recommended).\nI’ll explain for each and every of these strategies listed below.\n1. ClickFunnels Requirement Plan – $97/month.\nThe conventional strategy includes all the features you would certainly need within ClickFunnels, however with restrictions on the variety of funnels (20) and also web pages (100) you can have in your account, in addition to the number of site visitors (20K) can see your web pages each month.\nYou additionally do not obtain innovative functionality such as ClickFunnels very own e-mail advertising and associate tracking tools.\n2. ClickFunnels Etison Collection – $297/month.\nThis strategy includes all the bells as well as whistles of the typical plan, without any constraints. It additionally includes two additional items created by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (e-mail advertising) and also Backpack (affiliate monitoring system).\nIn Actionetics – you could take care of every one of your calls that register for your checklist, send out email programs, and create a host of various other automations. Active Campaign Tags\nThe difference in between the two plans truly is the limitations, as well as Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a fundamental user and also do not expect to utilize more than 20 funnels in your account – the Criterion Plan ought to suffice.\nHowever, if you prepare to have an associate program or wish to maintain your email advertising within ClickFunnels and not use a third party software program, the Etison Collection is for you.\nYou could constantly begin on the lower strategy and upgrade if required.\n3. Funnel Hacks System – $997\nFor anybody that’s major regarding their company, the ClickFunnels Funnel Hacks System is the offer of the century.\nThe $997 Funnel Hacks System has robust training programs packed with 6-month accessibility to the ClickFunnels Etison Suite.\nThis is an unbelievable deal given that beyond this program, 6-months of Etison Collection alone would certainly cost you $1782.\nNot only are you saving $785 but you’re obtaining a ton of trainings as well as overviews of help you obtain one of the most out of ClickFunnels!\nClickFunnels Advantages And Disadvantages\n- Developing funnels is really simple, easy, and fast\n- All-in-one system with whatever your service needs to win\n- Split testing and also conversion tracking included\n- Email assimilation with all of the major e-mail autoresponder platforms\n- Repayment processing capacities within ClickFunnels\n- ClickFunnels is constantly adjusting and updating to the moments\n- There is always support available (whether real-time or otherwise).\n- Extremely active Facebook Team Community.\n- Free 14-Day Test – allows you to try it take the chance of complimentary.\n- As awesome as ClickFunnels is, it most definitely is not a cheap remedy as well as requires a continual subscription to use\n- Support isn’t really always the fastest and also could take from 1 min to 24 hours depending upon the concern.\nClickFunnels versus Every person Else.\nLots of people ask how ClickFunnels compares with various other touchdown web page building contractors such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and also Infusionsoft.\nEssentially it’s not really a reasonable comparison since each of these devices stands out is one area or the other.\nThe graph over offers a comprehensive evaluation – but I’ll highlight a few of the major comparisons below.\nClickFunnels vs Leadpages\nPrior to ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the big canine.\nLeadpages is simply a lead capture software application – absolutely nothing more. You can create landing web pages, lead boxes, gather leads … that’s pretty much it. Furthermore, the Leadpages design templates are additionally restricted on personalization.\nClickFunnels is even more functional – it’s a lot easier to utilize as well as does so a lot more compared to create lead capture web pages.\nSimply put, Leadpages is really just a landing page builder, while ClickFunnels is focused around building highly incorporated funnels.\nClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft\nInfusionsoft is not a landing web page or sales page contractor. It has several of that performance developed it, however that’s not just what it’s known for.\nAt it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that enables you to manage your whole consumer data source. ClickFunnels has this capacity with Actionetics, but it’s not nearly as advanced as Infusionsoft.\nInfusionsoft is additionally very expensive and forces every new customer to pay $2000 for a necessary kickstart coaching bundle simply to learn the best ways to utilize the complicated system (which is notoriously tough to make use of).\nClickFunnels Affiliate Program\nThere are 2 main courses people go down as ClickFunnels individuals.\nThose that decide to make use of the tool for their company – in hopes of someday achieve both Comma Club (over $1M in income).\nAnd also those that are interested in earning easy earnings as a ClickFunnels Affiliate and winning the Dream Vehicle Competition (where they pay $500/$1000 to your desire car if you reach 100/200 energetic month-to-month signups, respectively).\nWith a monstrous 40% regular monthly persisting compensation, ClickFunnels quickly has among the greatest affiliate programs of any type of platform out there.\nThat’s right – you get paid a continuous 40% compensation on every associate signup you make with the ClickFunnels Associate Program. However, exactly what does that truly relate to?\nThe basic strategy is a $97/month financial investment and also the Etison Suite strategy is a $297/month investment. consequently you make $38.80 per basic strategy as well as $118.80 per Etison Suite strategy … each and every month!\nGenerally, every 100 signups will bring in $4000/month in affiliate compensations (more or less depending on the amount of Etison Strategy users remain in there).\nAll-time Low Line\nClickFunnels is pass on the best platform if you are looking to easily develop high converting sales funnels.\nDue to the fact that it was developed from scratch to be the most effective sales funnel builder, it beats out all of the competition in that respect.\nOn the surface, it may not be the most inexpensive item out there – but if you utilize it to its full ability, your company will come to be a lot more lucrative and also you will save loan from not having to use other devices.

An optimized configuration of the façade can contribute to reduce the total energy demand of the building. Traditionally, the search for the optimal façade configuration is obtained by analyzing the heating demand and/or the cooling demand only, while the implication of the façade configuration on the energy demand for artificial lighting is often not considered, especially during the first stage of the design process. A global approach (i.e. including heating, cooling and artificial lighting energy demand) is instead necessary to reduce the total energy need of the building. When considering the total energy use in building, the optimization of a façade configuration becomes not straightforward, because non-linear relationships often occur. The paper presents a methodology and the results of the search of the optimal transparent percentage of a façade module for office buildings. The investigation is carried out for the four main orientations, on three \"average\" office buildings (with different surface-area-to-volume ratio), and with different HVAC system's efficiency, located in Frankfurt. The results show that the optimal configuration, regardless of the orientations and the surface-area-to-volume ratio, is achieved in an \"average\" office building when the transparent component of the façade module is between 35% and 45% of the total façade module surface. The north-exposed façade is the one that presents the highest difference between the \"optimal configuration\" and the worst one, while the south-exposed façade is the one which suffers less in case of the \"worst\" configuration.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Over on Github, Luke Fretwell asks: How do you define ‘civic startup?’\nThat finally gave me an excuse to share my working definition:\nA civic startup is one whose primary aim is to address issues of public concern.\nIt’s a fairly broad view of the world, admittedly, but appropriate.

Guided by the Network Leader, the IGDN brings together a wide variety of developers–including pen and paper, card game, and board game designers–in a private and secure environment where each and every member strives for excellence.\nThe IGDN was created because the gaming community lacks places where developers can openly share ideas. There are a few website forums, but people on the internet have a tendency to behave like anonymous jerks. The IGDN provides a safe ground for new ideas and opportunities, a place where developers (both young and old) can propose new thoughts in a supportive environment to help each other achieve their goals, including business success.\nIn addition, too many developers in the gaming industry are reinventing the wheel with the release of each new product. No one person knows the best way to order books, print card, stock PDFs, or promote in the age of social media because the rules are constantly changing. It’s a new world with lots of opportunity, but we don’t know how to navigate it yet. The IGDN helps developers build a resource library that can move more products to market with less effort, building better games for more players!\nIn fact, one of the primary goals of the IGDN is to see more freelance developers gain the development skills and business prowess to strike out on their own, leaving their day jobs behind to focus on the hobby they love.\n(If you’ve still got questions, check out our FAQ…)\nRight now, the IGDN is seeking our first twenty charter members. Those charter members will receive a free, three-month subscription to the IGDN to help build the community and show what we can do when we work together.

This type of marketing has seen an increase in popularity over time. Online Video Advertising usually consists of three types: Pre-Roll advertisements which play before the video is watched, Mid-Roll advertisements which play during the video, or Post-Roll advertisements which play after the video is watched. Post-roll advertisements were shown to have better brand recognition in relation to the other types, where-as \"ad-context congruity/incongruity plays an important role in reinforcing ad memorability\". Due to selective attention from viewers, there is the likelihood that the message may not be received. The main advantage of video advertising is that it disrupts the viewing experience of the video and therefore there is a difficulty in attempting to avoid them. How a consumer interacts with online video advertising can come down to three stages: Pre attention, attention, and behavioural decision. These online advertisements give the brand/business options and choices. These consist of length, position, adjacent video content which all directly affect the effectiveness of the produced advertisement time, therefore manipulating these variables will yield different results. Length of the advertisement has shown to affect memorability where-as longer duration resulted in increased brand recognition. This type of advertising, due to its nature of interruption of the viewer, it is likely that the consumer may feel as if their experience is being interrupted or invaded, creating negative perception of the brand. These advertisements are also available to be shared by the viewers, adding to the attractiveness of this platform. Sharing these videos can be equated to the online version of word by mouth marketing, extending number of people reached. Sharing videos creates six different outcomes: these being \"pleasure, affection, inclusion, escape, relaxation, and control\". As well, videos that have entertainment value are more likely to be shared, yet pleasure is the strongest motivator to pass videos on. Creating a ‘viral’ trend from mass amount of a brands advertisement can maximize the outcome of an online video advert whether it be positive or a negative outcome.\nInternet Marketing Inc. is one of the fastest growing full service Internet marketing agencies in the country with offices in San Diego, and Las Vegas.

When most people talk about becoming an editor, however, they are speaking of one of two types of editor: a copy editor or a book editor. Both are interesting jobs that bring a person in contact with writers regularly, and allow them to become an integral part of the publishing process. The path to become an editor is somewhat different for each, however, with book editors combining a number of roles into a single job.\nA copy editor is a person who focuses on the copy — any sort of written material intended for publication, be it a book, a magazine article, or a short article for an online website. Copy editors are focused primarily on the nuts and bolts of a piece of writing, with the actual content being left to a so-called substantive editor or an editor-in-chief. The copy editor’s job is to make sure the style of the copy is suitable for the publication, that it remains consistent throughout, that there are no grammatical, typographical, or punctuation errors in the text, and that the facts given are accurate.\nMany people go to a university to pursue a degree in English in order to become an editor, and many employers are looking for just such a degree. A broad knowledge base is also very useful to a copy editor, and so reading widely and studying an array of subjects can help someone interested in this job, allowing them to be able to easily recognize factual defects in a text. While at school, working for student publications can offer a first glimpse into the work of a copy editor, as well as giving an important byline for later job résumés. Editors also need certain concrete skills, and copy editing classes can give these, including techniques on reading copy for error-checking rather than content and the set of notation used in copy editing.\nAfter school, a prospective editor needs to decide whether he or she wants to work in-house at a publishing company or as a freelancer for a number of different publications. As a freelancer, editors have a number of opportunities to work on small jobs for lower wages while building up a byline. Pursuing a job at a larger publishing house is a bit more difficult, however, and is often best accomplished by first becoming an editorial assistant at the publication you’re interested in working for, getting to know the staff, and having a chance to prove your work ethic before applying for a vacancy as a copy editor.\nMany people, when they talk about wanting to become an editor, are referring to becoming a book editor. This is a position that tends to be found at smaller publishing houses, and it rolls a number of different editorial roles into one. Book editors not only do copy editing, but also handle production editing and substantive editing, helping to guide and shape the entire feel of a project, not just the technical execution of it. People who want to be this type of editor often first start as a copy editor and then work their way up the ladder, acquiring a wider range of skills and becoming familiar with the ins and outs of the book or magazine trade, eventually taking on the larger role.\nI think it would be really fun to be an acquisitions editor. I love the idea of finding new talented writers and publishing their books.\nIt must be a rewarding and satisfying job because you are giving someone the chance to be published for the first time which has to be thrilling.\nI know that acquisitions editors sometimes offer classes on how to get published and develop a winning manuscript. An acquisitions editor named Eddie Jones has a site called Writer’s Coach which offers classes on how to develop a manuscript and book proposal that will sell.\nHe also offers a free fifteen minute consultation online in order to provide you feedback on your writing skills and your market potential.\nComfyshoes - I think that the writer suggested that you have to have an English degree. I know that UMUC, the University of Maryland University College offers an online program for a BA in English as well as a BA in Communications.\nThis way if you are working you can continue your education. They are accredited and also have an onsite campus in Maryland if you live in the area.\nGetting a degree will help you get valuable internships because getting a job as a publishing editor is not easy.\nYou will also want to look at joining professional organizations like the American Copywriters Society and the Editorial Freelancers Association. Both of these organizations provide networking opportunities and educational seminars on not only improving the quality of your writing, but also help gain marketable skills in order to obtain more working opportunities.\nEditors can work in all kinds of fields. For example, many mystery shopping companies hire editors to review written reports from shoppers. Any experience will help as this is a very competitive field because a lot of people want to enter this line of work.\nHow do you become an editor?

An obvious suggestion is that information about the genetic suitability of a prospective mate is exchanged.

The proposed role would thus hint at a variable courtship language with nontrivial grammatical rules as the central element.\nIn this project, we investigate courtship under this angle, where the emphasis is on courtship graphs and a comparison to the expression power of modern spoken languages.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Immigration and Civil Religion\nDebate casts light on Americans’ deepest-held values and conception of national meaning\nBy Bruce T. Murray\nAuthor, Religious Liberty in America: The First Amendment in Historical and Contemporary Perspective\nThe ongoing immigration debate raises core questions about what it means to be American – and who is not American. The issue is often cast in ugly terms: On one side, some argue that the nation’s current crop of immigrants – mostly from Mexico, Latin America and Asia – are too numerous and too “different” to assimilate into American culture. On the other side, many argue that the immigrants of today are no different from the immigrants of the turn of the last century, who eventually assimilated into mainstream American society.\nThe debate has cast light on an obscure but pervasive phenomenon in America known as civil religion – a belief system that binds the nation’s deepest-held values with transcendent meaning. The term civil religion is not widely used, but the language of civil religion is familiar to most Americans. For example, during the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama frequently invoked civil religion. In his first debate with Sen. John McCain, Obama pledged to “restore that sense that America is that shining beacon on a hill.” Obama’s imagery might strike a familiar chord with those who remember Ronald Reagan’s speeches and radio addresses. Reagan often spoke of “a shining city on a hill”; and indeed, in many ways Reagan defined his presidency on this single image. (See more on civil religion here.)\nThe promise of the “shining city on a hill” has beckoned generations of immigrants to America’s shores in search of both spiritual renewal and earthly fortune. But who is chosen for admission – and who is not – prompts starkly different interpretations of America’s national purpose and responsibility. Civil religion is an underlying component in the debate: Many Americans feel their national creed (a term sometimes used in place of civil religion) is threatened, disrespected or diluted by the newcomers. Proponents of immigration point out that past generations of immigrants have thoroughly assimilated and adopted American values – and indeed have become their greatest proponents.\nCalifornia Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, himself an immigrant from Austria, noted the importance of values – the constituent elements of civil religion – in American civic life.\n“Immigration is about our values. Above all, we owe it to our country and our immigrants to share our values. We should talk about our history, our institutions and our beliefs,” Schwarzenegger wrote in a column for the Los Angeles Times. “As a river gains strength and momentum from joining waters, so America is blessed and enriched by new people and new energy. But we still need a new immigration law to properly channel the flow.”\nThe connection between civil religion and immigration is further explored in the University of Massachusetts Press book, Religious Liberty in America: The First Amendment in Historical and Contemporary Perspective by Bruce T. Murray.\n“This book includes an especially engaging and in-depth chapter on American civil religion. This chapter relies upon the scholarly work of Robert Bellah, among others, even as it traces American civil religion from John Winthrop’s (and Ronald Reagan’s) ‘city upon a hill’ to contemporary disputes over immigration, the ‘culture wars,’ and the religious rhetoric of Bush and other political leaders.”\n— Daniel O. Conkle, Professor of Law and Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies, Indiana University (from the July, 2009 issue of the Catholic Historical Review)\nReligious Liberty in America is available at numerous university libraries and the University of Massachusetts Press.\nBook review critical of Murray's treatment of civil religion and immigration:\n“In an otherwise provocative discussion of civil religion, Murray somewhat confusingly uses recent Latino immigration activism to illustrate tensions over faith and belonging. Ultimately, Murray frames this debate between two polar opposites, whether Latino immigration ‘threatens the United States' cultural and political integrity’ (quoting Samuel Huntington) or whether Latinos have ‘appropriated American values and civil religion in the spirit of Martin Luther King’ (quoting Luis D. León) (p. 63). One wonders if the question is such an either/or proposition.”\n— David A.

Panelists include USC demographer Dowell Myers, Alfonso Aguilar of the U.S. Office of Citizenship, and José Luis Gutiérrez of the Illinois Office of New Americans.\nImmigration policy, politics and economics\nJudy Gans, Director of the University of Arizona’s Immigration Program, notes that although the numbers of immigrants today is higher than ever in U.S. history, the immigrant population as a percentage of the overall U.S. population is actually lower now than it was at the turn of the last century. “I think we’ve been here as a country before ... There is more concern about immigrant incorporation than there needs to be,” Gans said.\nDealing with the trade-offs of immigration policy\nDowell Myers, a demographer at USC, said that as the baby boom generation retires, the younger generation of immigrant workers will be necessary to fund their retirement. “Immigrants and their children have a role to play. We need to invest in them big time,” Myers said.\nAnnotated links to immigration-related news stories.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Throughout its history, America has faced many challenges. One was the devastating collapse of the national economy during the Great Depression years of the 1930s when faced with financial ruin, banks closed and industry ceased.\nDuring the years that followed, the elderly lost their life savings, farmers their land and thousands of unemployed men roamed the country, looking for non-existent jobs. It was for these that the Civilian Conservation Corps was formed in 1933 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's \"New Deal\" policy for recovery for the economy. It was not a military organization, although it was run on military lines, its officers being mostly ex-Army men.\nThe volunteer enlistees had to be single young men aged 17 to 23 years old with no criminal record. They received training in the manual trades such as carpentry, bricklaying, and dams and bridge building. They lived in army-type camps which they often built themselves.\nTheir pay was $30 a month, most of which they sent home to help their struggling family. They were provided with food, clothing and medical care. If by chance they found a better paying job, they were free to leave the Corps, given an honorable discharge and transport back home. The young men worked on bridges and dams construction and on re-forestation all over the country. They also worked on overhead electric lines and repaired railroad tracks. With the arrival of World War II (which turned the country's economy around), the Corps was discontinued in 1942.\nIt was later estimated that 3,000,000 men had served in the Corps. Used to hard work and discipline, they later made good military men.\nThis writer recently spoke with a 95-year-old gentleman who had served in the Corps, working on bridge building in Tennessee. He was one of the few corpsmen to own a car. It was a battered 1925 Model T Ford sedan. Not allowed to keep it in camp, he kept it parked at a nearby farm. Every Saturday he picked it up, crammed four of his pals into it and drove to the nearby town to see the Saturday night movies. He charged his riders 25 cents each. It paid for the gas.\nToday, there are reminders of the work done buy the Civilian Conservation Corps in our own area. Among them are the Fish Hatchery in Randolph and Long Point State Park at Bemus Point.\nOne wonders, if today there was an organization like the Civilian Conservation Corps it would aid our ailing economy.\nAgnes \"Pat\" Pfleuguer is a Dunkirk resident.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Conference Presentations Day Two\n8:00 – 8:45\nLocalisation Education — Teaching Aid Toolkit\nDimitra Anastasiou Localisation Research Centre, Centre for Next Generation of Localisation\nNaoto Nishio Localisation Research Centre\nEnda Quigley Localisation Research Centre, Centre for Next Generation Localisation\nLocalisation is the adaptation of digital content to a target combination of language and culture, called locale. We present an educational programme which encourages children to appreciate the cultural and linguistic diversity of the world. The Localisation Research Centre at the University of Limerick, the Curriculum Design Unit at Mary Immaculate College and the Centre for Next Generation Localisation develop a Primary School Localisation Toolkit.\nAlex Chisholm Learning Games Network\nThis presentation reflects on Gee’s (2007) learning principles as instantiated by language games developed within an open–source platform (ISLE). Online language learning is enabled through games and activities that are task-based with social interaction, collaboration, and competition. Activities are designed to be stand-alone, self-contained Flash modules nested within a single portal that taps the platform’s resources, makes extensive use of CMC tools, and permits performance reporting and learning path customizations. ESL materials will be showcased with an eye to illustrating the advantages of this gaming platform for the curriculum of other world languages.\nAn Analysis of the Spelling Errors of L2 English Learners\nDJ Hovermale The Ohio State University\nRecent studies have shown that commercial spelling correction programs perform rather poorly on learner English (Mitton and Okada, 2008; Hovermale 2008). One explanation for this poor performance is that these spellcheckers exploit patterns in native speaker spelling errors which do not hold for L2 English learners (cf.e.g. Hovermale, 2008). This study examines approximately 1500 English spelling errors made by Japanese learners of English and provides empirical evidence that learner errors do, in fact, differ in predictable ways from those of native speakers. The study provides a detailed analysis of the errors and suggests how ESL spellcheckers could use this knowledge to improve performance.\nDeveloping a LCTL Website for a Multi-Cultural Student Body\nDerek Roff University of New Mexico\nLess-commonly taught languages face problems of access. Universities lack sufficient students for a viable learning program, while dispersed students lack local classes. The Web is an obvious resource, but many pedagogical, resource, and design decisions must be addressed. When the target learning community spans several cultures and language groups, access must include multiple languages of introduction and instruction. This presentation will explore the development of one successful learning portal, created with significant volunteer collaboration. It offers a wide array of learning materials, accessible via more than ten languages. We are developing student-accessed automatic writing evaluation tools as learning aids.\nPasi Puranen Helsinki School of Economics\nBerit Peltonen Helsinki School of Economics\nLis Auvinen University of Helsinki\nThis panel presentation by a team of language educators representing English, Spanish and Swedish focuses on the use of CALL and the foreign language learning goals and teaching practices in Finnish higher education. Maija Tammelin will exemplify how blended learning and the use of technology are used to meet the institutional, national and European goals in language learning. Pasi Puranen will focus on guidance in an online environment in teaching Spanish to Finnish students. Berit Peltonen and Lis Auvinen will demonstrate how they use videoconferencing tools, language karaoke and student-produced podcasts in their Swedish courses in a Finnish context.\nArabic without Walls: A Platform for Teaching and Learning about Learning\nMichael Bush Brigham Young University\nThe development of online language learning materials is expensive and must rely on unsettled theory. Work is underway at BYU to revise the successful Arabic Without Walls software in order improve instruction as well as inform SLA theory. We are revising the curriculum to achieve better integration between in-class and out-of-class activities and improve feedback to teachers regarding student preparation. Changes target online materials as well as the design of the course syllabus and schedule. The presentation will include demonstrations of architectural modifications to achieve “tool and content malleability” through openness, interoperability, and modularity for designing, developing, delivering, and evaluating courses.\n9:00 – 9:45\nLongitudinal Development of Language Learners: A Corpus-based Approach\nNina Vyatkina University of Kansas\nThis longitudinal study investigates the second language (L2) development in college-level learners of German. A written electronic corpus of learner productions elicited at dense time intervals starting from the novice level and continuing over several semesters of study is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The focal features include selected vocabulary and grammar features. I also track how learners use the available input by modifying it and applying it to their own L2 production. The study responds to numerous calls for more longitudinal L2 research.\nLinda R Lemus University of New Mexico\nThis project focuses on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the first place-based mobile game for the learning of Spanish pragmatics in traditionally Hispanic neighborhoods in the United States – Mentira. The presentation will describe the development process of the Mentira game, including the theoretical model for learning, programming, graphic design, and piloting. It will then report on a design-based research project aimed at improving intercultural communication and pragmatic abilities in Spanish. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of future implications for pedagogy and research, as well as suggested applications to learner-created mobile games for language learning.\nGoogle Wave Roundtable Discussion\nJ. Scott Payne Amherst College\nWhile still a preview, Google’s new communication platform, called Wave, shows great promise as a tool for language learning and research. This roundtable discussion will begin with a brief presentation of what Wave is and a demonstration of how it works. This roundtable will serve as an informational session for those who have yet to see Wave in action and as a venue for exploring how Wave could be leveraged to promote language learning and SLA research. Presenters in the roundtable will be drawn from members of the “Using Google Wave in CALL” group with the intent of fostering an open and unstructured discussion.\nJonathan Perkins University of Kansas\nIt is commonplace to refer to today’s students as “digital natives,” whose familiarity with and reliance on technology has so altered the way that they process information that their “digital immigrant” teachers must adopt new pedagogical approaches to reach them. This presentation will describe the creation and implementation of a web-based curriculum to serve the approximately 700 students enrolled in intermediate-level Spanish at the University of Kansas every semester. Student reaction, measured via a series of online surveys, will be discussed, along with insights on the relative preparedness of both students and graduate teaching assistants to adopt such a curriculum.\nWebcam-based Communicative Language Learning Practice\nIf learners are going to make significant use of the language they are studying, this necessarily has to be done out of the classroom. And if instructors are to monitor such activity, it needs to be recorded and retrievable. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how a web-based virtual learning system, WebSwami, can provide language learners with realistic out-of-class communicative language practice anywhere and anytime. This is made possible through the integration of webcam technology, both receptively and productively, into a range of activities, all of which can be recorded to allow instructors to easily monitor student progress, make corrections, and provide feedback to students.\n10:00 – 10:20\nGina Mikel Petrie Eastern Washington University\nHaiyang Ai The Pennsylvania State University\nLexical complexity, i.e., the range and degree of sophistication of L2 learners’ productive vocabulary, has been recognized as an important construct in L2 teaching and research. We present a user-friendly web-based system for automatic measurement of lexical complexity using 25 different measures of lexical density, lexical sophistication, and lexical variation that have been proposed in the first and second language acquisition literature. The system will be demonstrated with real language data to show how it can be useful to language researchers and practitioners for assessing L2 lexical proficiency and tracking L2 lexical development.\nForeign Language Learning in 3D MUVEs: How Second Life’s User Interface Influences Social Presence and Student Motivation\nJessamine Cooke-Plagwitz Northern Illinois University\nThis paper examines specific features of the 3D MUVE Second Life and their effect on social presence and student motivation in two university-level courses: one graduate-level hybrid course for foreign language teachers and one elementary-level German class which held five of its regular meetings within Second Life. Students completed surveys at the end of the semester(s), which focused on specific characteristics of the Second Life environment and on students’ perceptions of how these features influenced social presence and motivation. The nature of the courses’ online interactions and the results of the student surveys will be discussed.\nTeacher Education and Professional Development: Some Strategies that are Working\nKathryn Murphy-Judy Virginia Commonwealth University\nLanguage teacher education in Virginia faces many of the same hurdles as do other regions, especially where CALL is involved. One of the major problems is that the very teacher educators responsible for training new teachers, themselves lack technology proficiency and, thus, can offer little but cursory glances at various affordances and the social dimensions of their integration into FLE. I will demonstrate three projects that target global media new literacies: the Foreign Language Exchange (FLEX) of Greater Richmond, the Virginia Foreign Language Teacher Education and Development Consortium, and my WRLD 203 service learning project for undergraduates. In all three instances, the vehicles for bringing new media resources to educators are the media themselves such that the medium is the message. We use wikis, nings, blogs, Google Docs, podcasts and more to facilitate the education and professional development of teachers and teacher educators. This presentation explains the projects and the Web 2.0 media that support them.\nDevelopment of Intercultural Competence through Internet-Mediated Intercultural Discussion: The Case of American-Korean Telecollaboration\nThis study explores how Internet-mediated intercultural communication facilitates the intercultural competence in Americans learning Korean by looking at the questioning technique as an index. It also presents the source of communicative tensions, which emerge in written dialogue, and suggests pedagogical considerations in conducting a tightly-structured telecollaborative project.\nPrinciples of Advance Organizer Design for Multiple-Episode Video Programs\nBernd Conrad Northern Arizona University\nUsing the TV-series “Berlin Berlin”, the presenter will show how to design advance organizers that help sustain students’ curiosity in the development of the plot. Controversial situations in a story told via video that evolve verbally can conclude visually, allowing the conclusion to remain the same kind of surprise for L2 learners that it is for native speakers, an advantage that previews should preserve. Therefore, reducing the complexity of the listening comprehension task is only one of two purposes to be served by scene previews. Examples will have English subtitles to accommodate the non-German speaking audience.\n10:30 – 10:50\nEFL Collaborative Opportunities in a Wiki Environment\nLong V Nguyen Massey University\nGerman Language Class Podcast Project at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand\nLooking for a way to make German language study more relevant and to step out of the conventional classroom setting (Morales and Moses, 2006), I introduced three different types of podcasts (Rosell-Aguilar, 2009, p.13) to my intermediate-level students at the beginning of the 2009 academic year. All three podcasts form part of the overall assessment of the course. In the middle of the year and at the end of the year, the students were given questionaires to gauge their impressions of this approach. Preliminary analysis of the survey results suggests that teaching a modern language using innovative techniques with the help of widely accepted media devices has proved popular with the students. The feedback I received was very positive and the students wish to continue with podcasts next year. Twenty-six out a total of 30 enrolled students participated in the survey. I intend to present the results of my survey in graphical form.\nLanguage Learning Technology – Pedagogical Desiderata\nHelene Ossipov School of International Letters and Cultures Arizona State University\nCourses in technology are now, or should be, part of the language teacher’s preparation, and in fact, such a course will be part of the MAT program being developed by my institution. The content of such courses is still being developed and adjusted. Do teachers want to learn how to use various applications? Do they want to create quizzes and exercises? Do they want to learn how to use Web 1.0 and Web 2.0? In this session, I will present the results of a survey of language teachers to determine their desires based on their experience in the classroom.\nSychronous Computer-Mediated Writing in the ESL Classroom\nThis paper describes a study comparing the collaborative writing process and outcome (essay) for a class of advanced IEP learners in two instructional conditions: one with F2F communication and one with computer-mediated communication. We report results and discuss potential issues for implementation of such tools within the ESL classroom.\nNing as a Learning Environment for Self-Directed Learners\nSharon Scinicariello University of Richmond\nThis presentation reports on the use of a ning to promote both learner autonomy and collaboration among students enrolled in a self-directed language program. The program’s ning allows students to share learning resources and insights about learning strategies while providing a platform for the creation of electronic portfolios to document their work. After outlining why the ning platform was chosen to address the program’s goals, the presenter will show how the ning is used and discuss student reaction. She will conclude with notes on plans to embed more ning-based activities into the program’s syllabi.\n1:30 – 2:15\nOral Language Workshops: Pronunciation, Listening Comprehension, and Culture through Authentic Materials\nKara McBride Saint Louis University\nThe Impact of Open-ended and Closed Tasks in Synchronous and Asynchronous Environments on Learners’ Language Production\nThis presentation reports on a study that investigated the effect of performing open and closed tasks under time pressure on learners’ quantitative and qualitative language production in online learning environments. Ninety-six beginning German language students participated in this study. Some of the results revealed that students working on the open task produced significantly more language than those working on the closed tasks in synchronous and asynchronous modes. Students working on closed tasks produced significantly fewer errors in the asynchronous mode than those working on the open task. No difference was found on this measure for students working synchronously. The presentation will conclude with an interpretation of the results.\nEye-tracking as a Measure of Noticing in SCMC\nBryan Smith Arizona State University\nThis study examines whether eye-tracking technology can be effectively used as a measure of learners’ noticing of corrective feedback in a synchronous computer-mediated communicative environment. How the proposed measure of noticing correlates with think aloud protocols, modified output, and post-test measures of noticing will be discussed.\nTesting the Effectiveness of Technology: Electronic Culture and Identity Revisited\nCatherine Caws University of Victoria\nToday, electronic literacy in second language learning environments is tightly related to individual experience. In fact a successful experience with technology at home will likely lead to satisfaction with technology in the classroom. It is therefore essential to query about the sociocultural factors that are truly impacting success with CALL. Our paper will attempt to address this question by discussing a specific intervention in class with a CALL tool that we have developed over the last 3 years.\nNetwork-based communicative activities have given rise to new pedagogical opportunities for teacher training, including telecollaborative peer- and mentor-supported learning environments. This presentation will outline and analyze the different telecollaborative activities undertaken by teachers-in-training in the USA and Spain during a year-long cross-university online collaboration project. Taking advantage of technological advances, this project endeavored to update and enhance time-tested pillars of reflective teaching and case-based learning by setting up communities of practice online (via email, Zoho, Skype, and Second Life) where trainees shared personal teaching experiences related to the immediate (and required) development of their own teaching materials\nProject-based Learning: A Promising Pathway to Develop Teachers’ Knowledge of CALL\nJulio C Rodriguez Iowa State University\nProject-based Learning (PBL) offers unique opportunities for world language teachers to develop the complex types of knowledge they are expected to acquire to be able to effectively integrate CALL into their practice. This presentation will show how PBL was implemented in a preservice teacher course in two complementary ways: a) as a pedagogical process experienced by preservice teachers and b) as part of the content of the course. Preservice teacher products created during the course, a qualitative analysis of their reflections on the technologies used and their perceptions about their learning will be presented and discussed.\nLuiz Amaral University of Massachusetts Amherst\nWeijia Li Amherst College\nMichael Lipschultz University of Pittsburgh\nLangBot is an innovative data-driven language learning and research tool freely available on instant messenger that logs learner behavior, self-report data, generates learner models, and tracks development of vocabulary and syntax while serving as an “intelligent” language reference agent in a conversational “wrapper.” In this presentation we will demonstrate LangBot and discuss its architecture. We will also discuss the process of constructing corpora for each language, the development of the machine learning and NLP tools to support the interactivity and feedback capabilities of LangBot, and present data from an initial pilot study.\n2:30 – 3:15\nMatthew Claflin Kyoto Sangyo University\nSandra Healey Kyoto Sangyo University\nContrasting Research Frames for Investigating CALL and Online Chat\nIn 2002, Fernández-Garcia and Martínez-Arbelaiz conducted a study examining negotiation of meaning between non-native speakers in synchronous discussions among learners of Spanish. Using a model by Varonis and Gass, they focused primarily on ‘acquisition’. In contrast, Darhower (2002) also examined the interactional features of synchronous CMC chat for Spanish learners. However, he described his work as a sociocultural case study, and focused upon ‘participation’. This presentation compares and contrasts these approaches and considers how they might be further developed to provide a richer understanding of the learning process.\nPodcasting Manolito Gafotas: Research of Colloquial Spanish and Culture\nThis presentation describes the use of podcasts to promote cultural research through the reading of Manolito Gafotas. This character was created by Elvira Lindo as a radio personality and later as the protagonist in novels. The students deconstruct the character, starting by analyzing current society and language in Spain and finishing with podcasting their research. Producing these helps students to investigate the cultural aspects of colloquial Spanish language that the textbooks do not include yet is used by native speakers. These podcasts can then be accessed by anyone outside of the classroom.\nDesigning Tasks for New Media-literacy Skills Development in Online Language Learning and Teaching\nMirjam Hauck Open University\nHere will be presented a model for task design that draws on Halliday’s social semiotic framework further developed by Kress (2000) and others over the last decade to take account of the modes for making meaning that are available in computer-mediated communication. The presentation is informed by insights gained during a four-way telecollaborative pre- and in-service teacher training project where tasks based on this approach were used to gauge existing levels of multimodal awareness and media-literacy skills among participants.\nSANSSpace Virtual Language Learning Environment\nChip Howe Chester Technical Services\nSANS Inc. has taken the next step in technology for language learning with SANSSpace Version 6 VLE (Virtual Learning Environment.) SANSSpace is a web-based course content management system with tools geared to the needs of language learners/instructors. A built-in digital comparative recorder to develop listening and speaking skills is a key element. A tracking utility provides educators with details on student interaction with any variety of media files enabling instructors to assess student work and time on task. Communication tools enable easy facilitation of course materials with instructor’s directives and feedback. SANSSpace enables blended or a fully virtual language learning scenario.\n3:30 – 4:15\nA Blogging We Will Go: ESL College Students and Grammatical Errors\nMandy Reinig Penn State Altoona\nA Tale of Two Projects – iPods as Study Tools\nCarly Born ITS Carleton College\nWendy Freeman Rice University\nBased on student experiences with classes from the Rice Center for the Study of Languages and classes in China, France and Mexico, presenters will share their analysis of the videoconferencing implementation process and discuss results of student surveys. Since little research is available yet on the use of oral computer mediated communication, there is a need to collect student videoconferencing audio/video recordings in order to assess the impact that this type of communication may have on language learning. Presenters will provide sample recordings and discuss their plans to conduct a study and integrate, more systematically, videoconferencing to the language curricula. http://lang.rice.edu/bartlett/CALICO2010.pdf\nHou Leijuan Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications\nEver since its emergence and development, computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has been widely applied to the area of foreign language teaching and testing. Oral testing is an indispensable component of foreign language testing. Validity and reliability are the kernels of a test. Based on an experiment of the author’s own classes, which follow the teaching methodology of communicative language teaching, this article purports to investigate the validity and reliability of a computer-assisted spoken English test within the framework of communicative language testing (CLT) through a series of quantitative and qualitative analyses. It also analyzes the backwash of testing and puts forward corresponding suggestions in terms of oral English teaching.\n4:30 – 5:15\nHelene Knoerr University of Ottawa\nLarry Vandergrift University of Ottawa\nVictoria Zander University of Arizona\nThis presentation reports on a project that investigated the potential for using social networking sites in the L2 classroom. Using a language socialization/community-of-practice framework, the L2-mediated social network practices of 9 intermediate ESL learners were analyzed before, during, and after a pedagogical treatment that introduced social network-based games as a means of affording L2-mediated interaction. The results of the study inform how everyday technology-mediated practices may be bridged and integrated into L2 learning environments while retaining authenticity.\nAn Examination of Selected Activities in a Virtual World: Practical and Theoretical Perspectives\nRegina Kaplan-Rakowski Southern Illinois University\nThe affordances of the virtual world of Second Life allow for increasingly more creative ways to conduct foreign languages classes. This presentation features several foreign language activities in Second Life that demonstrate some of those unique affordances. Theoretical justifications for the choice of the activities are discussed with a special attention to the issues of situated cognition, color-coding, cultural connections, interactivity, and diminished inhibition. Finally, a brief demonstration of several technological features of Second Life (e.g. communication, logging, basic building) follows.\nJulie Sykes University of New Mexico\nThe use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) for language learning is a central theme within CALL research. As innovations in CMC technologies continue to shape contexts and practices of everyday communication (e.g., social networking, multiplayer gaming), it is increasingly important to continue research in this vein. This panel, sponsored by the CMC SIG, will bring together a panel of three CMC experts to discuss future research paradigms and directions in CMC-based research.\nChristine Appel Universitat Oberta de Catalunya\nThis presentation posits that Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) provides conceptual and methodological tools that enable us to model computer supported collaborative writing practices among L2 learners and to identify factors that promote or hinder successful collaboration. The preliminary results of an activity theoretical study of online collaborative writing carried out among 260 distance learners of English at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) are presented and discussed. Design principles for successful computer mediated collaborative writing in L2 are then proposed.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Sustainable interior design is all about creating the best and healthiest space for your family, and the environment. Living a greener and more sustainable lifestyle begins at home, and the right space can have an effect on your mood, and your health. There are plenty of sustainable living tips for things like your water consumption, and your landscaping, but sustainable interior design is about more than just energy-saving appliances. If you’re looking to live a greener lifestyle, these tips can help you create a more eco-friendly home, and put sustainability first in your home design.\nUse Plants As Decoration\nA stalk of bamboo can suck up more CO2 than a full-grown tree. Using real plants in your decor will keep your air fresh and healthy. And, even better, it will have a huge impact on your carbon footprint, and help you live a more sustainable lifestyle. Growing a small herb garden indoors can also help save you money and time at the grocery store, as well as offering a healthy, organic alternative to big box stores.\nGet Lots of Sunlight\nLow-energy LED bulbs are significantly greener and safer than traditional bulbs. But they can only mimic real sunlight. Especially in the summer months, you’ll want to take advantage of the best hours of daylight, with lots of windows, and lighter curtains. Using natural daylight can cut down on the overall energy consumption in your home. It can also help you save hundreds on your electric bill!\nUse Energy-Efficient Windows And Doors\nWhile we’re on the subject of windows, make sure your windows are properly covered and insulated. There are products on the market that can ensure that your windows will reflect heat and insulate effectively. That means you use less heating and air conditioning throughout the year, saving money, and energy.\nAn estimated 80% of heat loss from your home is caused by improper insulation. Make sure to check your windows if you’re renovating or moving in, especially if the home is older.\nChoose Natural Materials\nFurniture and textiles made from organic material may seem more expensive, but they’re a great investment. Natural materials, like mango wood and teak can last for years, and choosing furniture made from wood that has been reclaimed is a great way to cut down on your carbon footprint even further.\nWhen choosing natural textiles, stay away from dyes and chemicals. Stick to cottons for your blankets and throw pillows, and natural fibers like wool. You can use second hand furniture shops and online stores stores to find cheap rugs and other small decor items, to leave room to cover the cost of more expensive furniture.\nAvoid VOC Content\nVolatile Organic Compounds are chemicals that evaporate at room temperature. They’re found almost everywhere, but are twice as prevalent inside your home as they are outside. Bad news for you. They are found in everything from paints, adhesives, cleaning products, furniture, and even carpets. Good news, you can find a greener version of most of the products that have VOC.\nStick to natural fibers, and use Green-Seal certified paints and wallpaper adhesives. That should minimize the VOC concentrations in your home. That means cleaner, fresher air, even when you’re inside.\nChoose Low-Energy Options. If you’ve done any research into sustainability, chances are you know there are many options for low-energy fixtures in your home. Choose LED light fixtures in every room, and low-flow taps and toilets in the kitchen and bathroom. There are plenty of options to create a stylish, modern, and greener home!\nWhen you’re dedicated to living a more sustainable lifestyle, there’s a lot to think about. Installing low energy bulbs and fixtures in your home can help reduce your carbon footprint. But there are also ways to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle throughout your interior design. With these tips, you can have a stylish and beautiful home, that is also healthier for you, your family, and the environment.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Asbestos is a natural mineral made of fibers that are resistant to corrosion, electricity, and heat. It is because of its qualities that the mineral was widely used in the 20th century. However, even though asbestos boasts of these useful qualities, asbestos is highly toxic. When an individual inhales the asbestos fibers, the fibers can cause mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive type of cancer.\nToday, asbestos is no longer being used in most new products and buildings. However, many old buildings, homes, and products still contain this toxic substance. Even after it was discovered that the substance is harmful, most asbestos-containing buildings were not banned. Additionally, many asbestos-containing materials and products were not forcibly removed from circulation, either. As a result, asbestos still poses a threat to homeowners, workers, and many other people.\nMany people would want to know what asbestos looks like. Homeowners and renovators, most especially, would want to know how to identify this toxic substance before beginning home construction or renovation.

It would shock you to know, even though you may not be aware, you could be acting selfishly, and consistently. What you could do therefore is to become aware of even the unobvious ways in which we express our self-centeredness. Next is of course, to confront it and deal with it sincerely. Without being judgmental of people, this article presents simple insights to our way of being, how to identify them and modify them positively. Have you: `managed to get your work done by another, no matter what is going on with him` `been very busy over extended periods of time` `made a convenient interpretation of others` `noticed people to be a little reluctant to work with you closely` One may not be aware, that while he is going about doing just common things, yet in reality, it could be possible that your actions are selfish. People`s reaction to you, in form of non-cooperation, reluctance, and disinterest about you is because they sense that you are selfish in your actions. If you were to receive such a feedback, that there is a degree of selfishness in your behaviour, you would call it an undeserved criticism. This is not because you are being defensive, but because, from your perspective your actions are only normal and necessary for you. This is more about a certain conditioning of the mind than about values, morals or behaviour. Early in life, we may have learnt a harsh lesson that unless we learn to protect our needs and interests they may either be overlooked or sidelined. As we grow from there, the attitude to have one`s own interest served slowly engulfs. It is a topic that merits discussion and calls for honest introspection because it is going to define the relationships we have, with the spouse, with friends and colleagues and even with our children. In order to pursue the dedicated path of self interest, there are a whole lot of supporting behaviours that germinate too. Naturally, to have our interest served, we need to manipulate our words and actions. Sometimes when that alone does not yield results, we begin to manipulate people. Scheming and plotting follow. It becomes an unconscious activity actually, because the person hardly realizes what means he is adopting, as his focus is on the `end` ` that is, himself. They develop an ability to express their own desire as though it would benefit others! Sadly, one cannot expect them to invest in people in return for the favour as they are already and always busy. Another typical way of being that develops over time is, inability to share. Whether in the context of ideas, resources, things, and even one`s time, when a person is focused on his own interest, he would be completely unwilling to share. Selfish people gradually become `islands`, and their attitude impacts their relationships negatively. It does not need anyone else to help us see this, you can actually reflect on your own. Here are some every day reactions which arise out of our selfish habits. You can catch yourself when: ` You ask someone to do something which has no value for him, but only for you ` You decline help and support to another because you are busy ` You are about to present craftily how helping you can be a worthy cause for others when it is not so in reality ` You are upset when your need has not been immediately met ` You refuse to give or share something giving an excuse, just because you are not used to giving As a matter of habit, try to cultivate within you the following: ` Offer something you have, and see the joy it brings ` Manage some time for others, just to be with people ` Train yourself to accept delays, let others too get a chance ` Review your thoughts and actions when you get upset over your need not being addressed ` If there is something only for you, try to do it by yourself. There is no harm in being prompt about ones needs. Over time, if you do nothing to add to it, then it shows as a negative attribute and a limiting behaviour, which not only distances you from others, but also reduces your own joy in life. Hence while you are already able to look after yourself, extend that to others and experience the difference.

During the design and construction of these homes, all aspects aimed at minimizing their impact on the environment are taken into account, including energy consumption, materials used, sorting of waste and recycling, etc. – solutions that allow you to live in a healthier, more pleasant home while saving money.\nAn environmentally friendly home must be well insulated and built with healthy materials in order to provide all the comfort and well-being necessary. An eco-friendly home should also enable you to reduce your heating bill. For several years now, builders have been taking into account the new standards that are in place and their buildings are consuming less energy than ever before.\nAN INVESTMENT THAT PAYS OFF\nWhen we think of an eco-friendly home, we automatically assume that it will be more expensive than a traditional home. While it may be more expensive to build, the expense quickly turns profitable. If you buy a new home, chances are it already meets environmental standards. If you buy an older home, you can make the necessary changes to consume less energy, live more comfortably and respect the environment.\nA passive house is the benchmark for environmentally friendly homes. It is almost completely energy self-sufficient, meaning it requires no heating or very little heating. Thanks to its superinsulation, ventilation, advanced windows, thermal bridge-free construction and airtightness, a passive house maintains a pleasant temperature almost year-round. Today, the Passivhaus standard provides energy savings of up to 90%. To learn more about this concept, the best solution is to consult a professional and visit the passivehouse.ca website.\nA bioclimatic house takes into account all aspects of the environment to create a home that is more economical for its owners. At its initial design, builders verify the location of the house in relation to the sun and the surrounding vegetation. Then, it is well-insulated with natural materials. All of the home’s systems are also designed to save water, electricity or heating, while its external fittings are designed as a reservoir that allows for the collection of rainwater.\nNow more than ever, we’re taking the environment into consideration when it comes to our homes and we’re exploring a variety of energy-saving possibilities.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Chiang’s ‘New Life Movement’ was introduced on 19 February 1934, during the Nationalist decade. This campaign aimed to ‘create a citizenry that was self-aware, politically conscious, and committed to the nation’, attempting to instil social decency, right conduct and self-respect. Soong Meiling described it as ‘a direct attempt to complete with the Chinese platform of economic and social reform, substituting a retreat to Confucius for an advance to Marx.’ 96 rules that were to govern all conduct were introduced, based on Confucian values such as filial piety. Many of these were seen as arbitrary and beside the point in a time of national crisis, such as the ban on women walking male dogs in the streets or stipulation on the length of skirts. Resentment towards the Movement was deepened by the fact that many of the KMT’s officials glaringly ignored it, enjoying wine, women and gambling, and even Chiang’s wife smoking a pipe despite one of the rules prohibiting the act. This sentiment was echoed in the North China Daily News, which observed that ‘the New Life Movement would have its best chance of success if it could begin at home’.\nWant to suggest an edit?

Businesses make investment decisions based on several criteria. Taxes play a role, but they are hardly the most important factor. The two key determinants of business investment are access to markets and labor costs. The former entails the ability to acquire materials and supplies and to get products to customers in a cost-efficient manner. Examples of this need are legion. For the latter, a business simply wants to hire the right kind of employee at the lowest possible cost. Other factors play a role, of course, such as where executives live and the cachet of being in a particular locale. Taxes matter, but not nearly as much as politicians think they do. In the long run, low taxes and a business-friendly regulatory climate will attract business investment, but taxes matter much less for discrete business investment decisions.\nStart-Up New York is a prime example of a tax incentive program that did not and will not work. The state recently disclosed that the much-heralded incentive program spent $53 million in its first two years of operation. The program is said to have attracted 159 companies and created 408 jobs, but how many jobs were actually created remains unclear. It's possible that some or all of those jobs would have been created without the ridiculously generous tax breaks. But even if we assume a causal relationship, Start-Up New York spent nearly $130,000 per job. Actually, the people of New York spent $130,000 per job. Under what definition can this be considered a success?\nDemocratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration and Empire State Development Corp., the agency that administers the program, were embarrassed by the results. The report was released late July 1, just before the long holiday weekend. You don't have to work for a public relations firm on Madison Avenue to know that the administration was trying to bury the news.\nAnd let's be clear. The $53 million is only the amount the state spent on advertising and marketing Start-Up New York; it does not include the dollar figures for the tax incentives. New York has been buying television ads across the country, encouraging businesses to invest in the state and take advantage of the generous tax breaks. Those tax breaks include complete income, sales, and property tax exemptions for the business, as well as income tax exemptions for most employees. The exemptions last up to 10 years. From a budget standpoint, it's good that more companies with more employees haven't signed up. As Greg LeRoy of Good Jobs First noted in our coverage: \"The program will always fail to create many jobs but continue to cost a lot of money.\" Basically, the state is giving money to companies to do what they would have done anyway -- and it will keep giving them money for the next decade.\nStart-Up New York has not and will not attract the kind of investment envisioned by Cuomo and his supporters. I believe that all tax incentives are unsound, but at least states like Alabama can point to Mercedes-Benz and argue that the development policies directly and indirectly created tens of thousands of jobs. I have criticized Tesla Motors Inc.'s Nevada tax incentive deal as unnecessary -- because it was -- but Tesla will have a significant effect on the state's economy. The Cuomo administration has little to show for Start-Up New York.\nFrom the beginning, Start-Up New York was a bad idea. It was the epitome of government messing with the markets. Your business had to be \"approved\" by politically appointed officials before you could get the tax benefits. Some industries and businesses are in; some are out. It takes a certain level of arrogance to make that determination in the face of what markets may want. And you have to invest in one of the zones created by the Cuomo administration. If you're in the zone, you get the tax benefits. If you're outside the zone -- even if only by a few feet -- you don't. What makes sense from an economic perspective doesn't really matter. Of course, like all incentives, Start-Up New York has an equity problem. What does the state tell businesses that invested in the zones before the program? \"You should have waited\"? Indeed, what does it tell the thousands of businesses now operating throughout the state? They, and their employees, are all paying the full freight. The zones are all near state universities. The people who cut the grass and clean the restrooms at the universities will pay tax on their income. The executives in the handful of companies enjoying the tax breaks won't. There is no justice or fairness in that outcome.\nPeople often say that government should not be picking winners and losers in the marketplace. It's true. New York politicians should take that advice. It just might save the state some money.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Quantum Mechanics and Your Vibrational Frequency\nEvery thought and emotion has its own vibrational frequency or wave frequency. Quantum mechanics has demonstrated how a wave frequency can be altered. The shape of a wave has peaks and valleys. Energy waves are encoders and carriers of information with an infinite capacity for storage. When you overlay an opposite shaped wave on to an original wave, the original wave is straightened. Essentially you cancel out the characteristics of the original wave by overlaying a new exact opposite set of peaks and valleys on top of it. You change the vibrational frequency.\nThoughts are Like Sound Waves\nThis has been demonstrated with sound waves where researchers are attempting to create a quiet environment. You can use sound to literally cancel and silence unwanted noises. This technology is used for corporate offices adjacent to noisy businesses or in doctors and counseling offices where voices can be heard between treatment rooms or in the car industry to make engines quieter.\nMechanics of Changing Thoughts\nLet’s extend this now to understanding the mechanics of changing thoughts or emotional patterns. Comprehending this is taking into consideration the subatomic causal level of thinking and feeling. If you identify an exact opposite positive thought to counter a negative thought you are using this principle. Take a moment and think about the word stress. Now take a moment and think about the word relax. Think about the word fear and now the word safe. It sounds simple and it is. The trick is you have over 60, 000 thoughts per day to work with. In any case, this is the basic idea and where the positive thinking movement has made a powerful impact in changing lives.\nTo change your thinking, you must adopt the belief that your perception of the world is what determines your reality. When you discover how to effectively choose your perceptions, you change your ability to cultivate happiness. Because you have far more control over your internal world than your external world, this is the best place to decrease stress and raise your happiness. We are specifically referring to your response to situations via your thoughts, emotions, and actions. When you change your response, you change your experience of the situation. This single factor has the potential to dramatically alter the course of your life journey.\n2 Levels of Internal Control\n- Your Perception\n- Your Response\nPerception: How you perceive an event impacts the amount of stress you experience. You can choose to view a situation in such a way that validates your reasons for feeling stressed, or you can view it so that you feel motivated and up for the challenge to deal with it. Because every action is preceded by a thought and an emotion, it’s a good idea to start with your perception if you plan to rewire your experience of stress.\nResponse: You may not be able to control what happens, but you can control how you respond to what happens. Your response includes not only your actions but also the degree of tension you allow in your mind and body. It’s your response that will either stop your experience of stress or perpetuate and fuel the stress cycle.\nThe world we have created is a product of our thinking; it can’t be changed without changing our thinking. — Albert Einstein\nPerceptions Are Your Interpretations – Your real mind power\nIt has been said that we are meaning-make machines overlaying our subjective interpretation onto everything we experience. Why do we do this? This is how we learn and integrate new information in an efficient and economical way. We associate our present experience with our past and make up what it means based on the culmination of our experiences to date on that subject. This allows us to move through our day without relearning how to make breakfast, get dressed, or find our way home. It also enables us to assess our environment and make quick decisions so that we can move through our day with ease and flow. This can be highly useful in these types of basic life situations. However, this can get us into trouble if we aren’t conscious of our interpretations. We tend to have the “know-it-all syndrome” where we attempt to figure it all out before allowing ourselves to experience it. This is similar to walking into a library and picking a book that was written in the early 1900s and then assuming that the entire library is filled with old books. Being a know-it-all results in holding ourselves and others to the past.\nYou have never been where you are in this moment, now, yet your mind finds a way to make it familiar so that you think it’s the same.\n“It’s the end of the world,” said the caterpillar.\n“It’s just the beginning,” said the butterfly.\nExploring your interpretations is powerful work. It brings you to the empowered place of self-responsibility and gives you real mind power. The key is to realize you are the common denominator in your life. Your perception drives your behavior. You can start with owning your interpretations and navigating your way through other ways of looking at the situation. In doing so, you increase your control over your internal world and raise your happiness potential.\nYou may think you know or you’re certain about your perception. But how can you really be 100% certain? You have the ability to choose your perceptions. As long as you’re making it all up, you may as well choose something that moves you in the direction of happiness, well-being, and self-esteem.\nFacts Versus Interpretations\nOne way to help loosen the hold of your interpretations is to consider the facts within a situation. Ask yourself this question:\n‘What are the facts in this situation, outside of your interpretations about it?’\nAs you separate the raw, objective facts from the interpretations, you give yourself more power to choose a different interpretation.\nEmpowering Questions Tool\nAnother tool for stepping outside of your interpretations and choosing a more empowered growth mindset is to explore the questions you ask yourself. The types of questions you ask matter tremendously in whether you feel empowered or powerless in your life.\n- Why is this important to me?\n- What positive outcome will this bring?\n- What is working in this situation?\n- Why is this happening to me?\n- Who is to blame?\n- What went wrong?\nHow do you feel when reading each of these questions? You will likely notice a difference with each one.\nEmpowered Mindset is a Growth Mindset\nEmpowering questions take into account what is positive or of value in the current situation. They empower your mind to seek out the solutions or what is working instead of the problems and what is not working. They allow you to develop a growth mindset to experience more internal control in your life.\nThe Role of Emotions\nA thought without intense emotion and feeling has no meaning, no value, and no real power to effectively engage your neural pathways. Intensity of emotion and feeling is required to take an experience and make it a solidified habit. The more emotion you engage, the more neurons you activate to form well-worn pathways. Emotions and feelings act as the glue that binds you to experiences. They are the juice, or energy, behind your thoughts that give power to your memories, goals, hopes, and dreams.\nEmotional Vibrational Frequencies\nThe Latin root word for emotion, emotere, literally means “energy in motion.” In and of itself, emotion is neutral. It’s neither positive nor negative. What you think of as emotion is actually the experience of energy moving through your physical body. We experience emotion as energy frequencies and their correlating physical sensations in the body such as expansion or contraction. Feelings are the interpretation and labels we apply to the experience of emotion, such as sad, mad, or glad.\nDavid Hawkins, researcher and author of Power vs. Force, demonstrates emotions as energy. He devised a scale that rates the energy level of basic human emotions, with a range of 1 to 1,000. Anything below 200 is considered unhealthy for the individual and society (shame 20, guilt 30, apathy 50, grief 75, fear 100, desire 125, anger 150, pride 175). Anything above 200 represents constructive expressions of power (courage 200, neutrality 250, willingness 310, acceptance 350, reason 400, love 500, joy 540, peace 600, enlightenment 700 -1000).\nWhat happens in your brain when you feel happy instead of neutral is entirely different. Emotion has executive power and an overriding influence in your brain’s terrain.\nWhat this means for you: This single shift in consciousness regarding the difference between emotions and feelings will save you time and energy by minimizing repetitive stress and unhappiness. It is another key to real mind power. Based on this understanding, the strategy for happiness includes:\nRecognize your emotion as energy frequencies in your body.\nChoose to identify and release the body sensations correlating with that emotion.\nEngage your thoughts with empowering questions about what you want to experience.\nIn doing so, you step out of the vicious cycle of stress and step into your power in the present moment.\nYou can apply this awareness of the Quantum Mechanics of thoughts and Energy of Emotions to your health. The body has 60 trillion cells. Each cell has its own energetic signature or wave frequency that is highly sensitive to your thoughts and emotions.\nGoals and Dreams\nYou can apply this to creating your goals and dreams. Like energy attracts like energy. Focus on what you want and get what you want. Begin to live from the place of already having what it is that you desire and notice how events, circumstances and people begin to show up in your life to help you create exactly what you want.\nCoaching and Counseling\nHilary Stokes Ph.D. and Kim Ward Ph.D. have been a team for 20 years, specializing in mind, body, spirit psychology.

Dentistry is no longer just about uprooting and filling teeth. With the available treatments, you can now; straighten, whiten, reshape and repair damaged teeth. Many people are seeking a way to improve their oral health and appearance. Here are some procedures performed at dental clinics to brighten people's smiles:\nTeeth are bound to get discolored over time, due to a number of reasons that may include; smoking, some kinds of medication and drugs, or the intake of drinks such as tea and coffee. The dentist comes up with a mouthpiece that ensures only the right amount of whitening solution is exposed to your teeth. Whitening at home can take about two to four weeks; conversely, at the dentist's office, its takes about 45 minutes to one hour.\nBonding is a tooth-colored material that's used to fill in gaps or change the teeth color.

Sometimes it's used to cover the entire surface of a tooth, thereby changing its shape and color.\nBetter known as 'caps' are used to cover entirely a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and appearance. They are generally used as a fallback where other procedures might not be useful. The crowns are carved out of metal, resin, ceramic material, or porcelain fused to metal.\nVeneers are custom shells that are made of thin layers of porcelain. They are used to correct teeth that have uneven surfaces, are chipped, unusually shaped, discolored, or crooked. Before insertion, the dentist first takes the tooth impression, then polishes the tooth. The veneer is the cemented in place; a beam of light is used to harden the cement that holds the veneer in place.\nBridges are used to replace absent teeth with false teeth. Dentists place the bridge by anchoring them onto adjacent teeth after prepping them for crowns. The artificial tooth is then joined to the crowns, and the bridge is cemented. There is a variety of bridges ranging from gold to porcelain. However, it's good to note that oral hygiene is crucial if you wear a bridge.\nMany other procedures can help you better your smile.

Harm can be caused by physical, psychological or emotional abuse or neglect or through sexual abuse or exploitation.\nIs the child in need of protection?\nA child may have already suffered significant harm, be currently suffering significant harm, or be at an unacceptable risk of suffering significant harm. In any of these situations, where the child does not have a parent able and willing to protect the child from harm, under the Child Protection Act 1999, that child is considered to be in need of protection.\nSo, what do you need to do next?\nIf you reasonably believe that a child may be in need of protection, you may contact the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services. There are also certain people who are mandated to notify the Department, such as doctors, teachers and registered nurses, where during the course of their engagement they form a reasonable suspicion concerning significant harm having been suffered or being suffered, by a child or there being an unacceptable risk of the child suffering significant harm, caused by physical or sexual abuse and that the child may not have a parent able and willing to protect the child from the harm.\nWhen informing the Department of an alleged child abuse issue, it is important to provide a detailed, clear, and comprehensive report. The Department will use that information to determine whether or not to investigate allegations of harm and to carry out an assessment to determine if a child is in need of protection.\nProviding this information in a timely manner to the Department, can seriously improve the child’s chances of being protected against any further harm.

Because they do not burrow, they are exposed to freezing temperatures during winter, but many, if not most, recover after having been frozen. Scorpions emerge from their shelters after sunset, frequently climbing trees, shrubs, and even walls of houses at night. Arkansas scorpions tend to roam considerably during April, May, and early June, and they commonly enter houses, where they are often found in attics.\nStriped bark scorpions prey primarily on spiders and insects. They capture prey with their pedipalps and subdue it with venom from their stingers. Cannibalism is common, at least in food-stressed populations. An elaborate mating ritual occurs in fall, spring, and early summer. A litter of some thirty live young appears in about eight months, clinging to their mother’s back until they molt for the first time, in about five to fifteen days. They mature in three to four years.\nScorpion stings often occur when people turn over wood or rocks with bare hands. The venom of the striped bark scorpion is of low toxicity to humans, and most stings are of minor medical importance, although reactions vary with the sensitivity of the person stung. The usual symptoms are immediate sharp pain and local swelling. The pain soon subsides, but it may be followed by numbness or tingling caused by nerve irritation. Nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and tightness of the chest may occur. Severe allergic reactions and death are not likely outcomes of striped bark scorpion stings.\nFor additional information: Baerg, William J. Scorpions: Biology and Effect of their Venom.

The most common of these include cocoa beans, kola nuts, some tea leaves and coffee beans. Also, coffee, certain sodas, energy drinks, soft drinks and tea contain caffeine which may be obtained from the raw materials used in their preparation or otherwise. \nCaffeine is reported to be the most commonly consumed psychoactive drug in the world. Its consumption has become very popular among children and adolescents, with statistics showing a 70% increase in the last 30 years.[2, 3] From the 1980s to the year 2005, the average amount of caffeine consumed by children and teenagers (ages 5 to 18) has increased from 38 mg per day to 69.5 mg per day. The December 2010 issue of the Journal of Pediatrics shows an increase to about 109 mg of caffeine consumed in a day for children in a similar age range. These constantly increasing values show the need for individuals to check the amount of caffeine taken daily and how this could affect their health positively or negatively.\nSeveral studies have been carried out to determine the optimum amount of caffeine required by a healthy individual. It is recommended that the daily intake of caffeine for developing teens should not exceed 100 mg ( this is equivalent to 3 cans of coke, 1.25 cans of red bull energy drink, 0.6 of a 16 fl. oz. can of Monster Energy Drink, and 0.2 of a Starbucks Venti brewed coffee). For most healthy adults, the recommended daily allowance is 400 mg. It is advised that a maximum of 2.5 mg of caffeine per kg of body weight should be consumed by children. It must be noted that variations in population, as well as changes in the health condition of individuals over time, play a major role in the amount of caffeine required by an individual irrespective of his or her age group.\nThe intake of caffeine through major sources such as cola beverages (55%), tea (30%), and chocolate (14%) may have positive and negative implications on the consumer depending on the health status of the consumer as well as the amount of caffeine being consumed. \nResearch by the US Food and Drugs Administration, amongst others, has shown that moderate caffeine intake can play an important role in enhancing a variety of health benefits. \nFirstly, consuming 3-4 cups of coffee a day may reduce the risk of developing some cancers such as cancer of the liver, mouth and throat in the average individual. Secondly, some studies suggest that adults who consume between 2-4 cups of coffee daily are less likely to commit suicide. The biochemistry of this finding is suspected to involve the inhibition of the brain chemical adenosine (a depressant) and stimulation of dopamine (a stimulant), which makes one feel good. \nAnother benefit of caffeine intake is that it improves metabolism (about 3-11%) and the rate of fat breakdown (about 10% and 29% in obese and slim persons respectively). Some observational studies indicate that individuals who regularly take in an ideal amount of caffeine may also reduce their risk of developing brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. \nAlthough caffeine can have the above-mentioned health benefits, it can also have adverse effects on the body, especially when taken in excess. These negative effects can be categorized under psychological effects including disorders, dependence and withdrawal, and certain adverse effects.\nThe psychological effects of caffeine overdose include disorders such as anxiety disorders, sleep disorders and eating disorders. Excessive intake of caffeine and anxiety are known to share similar symptoms, and both conditions are suspected to be the underlying factors for increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Some studies suggest that caffeine overdose may trigger and reinforce the symptoms of anxiety by increasing the level of lactate in the brain. [12, 13]\nThe quantity and quality of sleep can be altered by caffeine overdose. Insomnia is the most common symptom observed in most individuals. This effect may be very disadvantageous for older people and children. Sleeplessness may cause headaches, lack of concentration and irregular daytime sleeping among children. \nCaffeine overdose can worsen the condition of individuals suffering from eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa. Patients with anorexia and bulimia sometimes consume excess caffeine with the hope of boosting metabolism and suppressing appetite. However, the stimulant effect of caffeine can increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and osteoporosis, especially among anorexia patients \nCaffeine, like other psychoactive substances, results in certain desirable stimulant effects and undesirable withdrawal symptoms. The difference is that the effects of caffeine are less dangerous as compared to those of other psychoactive substances such as cocaine. The common withdrawal symptoms associated with caffeine overdose include insomnia, nausea, confusion and anxiety. These symptoms normally disappear after ingestion of caffeine.\nLarge doses of caffeine intake have adverse diuretic and gastrointestinal effects. In the gastrointestinal tract, it causes the esophageal sphincter to relax and thus leads to gastro-esophageal reflux disease. [19, 20]\nLastly, caffeine overdose increases the risk of developing sinus tachycardia, migraine, and miscarriage or low birth weight in pregnancy. [21 – 23] Pregnant women are advised to consume less than 300 mg per day of caffeine. \nConclusively, caffeine could be beneficial when taken in the right amount but excess intake can be very harmful to one’s health.\n- Coffee and Health.

This will involve an advance into the Southern Regions and, depending on future developments, a settlement of the Soviet Question as well.\n- The Imperial Government will carry out the above program no matter what obstacles may be encountered.\n- Steps will be taken to bring pressure on the Chiang Regime from the Southern approaches in order to bring about its surrender. Whenever demanded by future developments the rights of a belligerent will be resorted to against Chungking and hostile concessions taken over.\n- In order to guarantee national security and preservation, the Imperial Government will continue all necessary diplomatic negotiations with reference to the southern regions and also carry out various other plans as may be necessary. In case the diplomatic negotiations break down, preparations for a war with England and America will also be carried forward. First of all, the plans which have been laid with reference to French Indo-China and Thai will be prosecuted, with a view to consolidating our position in the southern territories.\nIn carrying out the plans outlined in the foregoing article, we will not be deterred by the possibility of being involved in a war with England and America.\n- Our attitude with reference to the German-Soviet War will be based on the spirit of the Tri-Partite Pact. However, we will not enter the conflict for some time but will steadily proceed with military preparations against the Soviet and decide our final attitude independently. At the same time, we will continue carefully correlated activities in the diplomatic field.\n... In case the German-Soviet War should develop to our advantage, we will make use of our military strength, settle the Soviet question and guarantee the safety of our northern borders...\n- In carrying out the preceding article all plans, especially the use of armed forces, will be carried out in such a way as to place no serious obstacles in the path of our basic military preparations for a war with England and America.\n- In case all diplomatic means fail to prevent the entrance of America into the European War, we will proceed in harmony with our obligations under the Tri-Partite Pact. However, with reference to the time and method of employing our armed forces we will take independent action.\n- We will immediately turn our attention to placing the nation on a war basis and will take special measure to strengthen the defenses of the nation.\n- Concrete plans covering this program will be drawn up separately.\nTranscribed and formatted for HTML by Patrick Clancey, HyperWar Foundation", "label": "No"} {"text": "Copernicus Climate Change Service, 20 June 2023\nThe sixth annual European State of the Climate (ESOTC) Report for 2022 was released June 20 by the European Commission, providing a detailed analysis of the climate this past year and the latest observations on major cryosphere dynamics, with a special focus on the Arctic. The first section of the report offered a snapshot of global glaciers, sea ice, ice sheets and sea level rise; the following section summarized the past year of temperature, precipitation, drought, wildfire and cryosphere trends across Europe; and the final section concluded with the Arctic, highlighting the recent heatwaves in Greenland.\nGlobal: 2022 was the warmest year on record for several regions of the world, including much of western Europe, parts of northwestern Africa, the Horn of Africa, central Asia and China, and much of the south Pacific. Sea surface temperatures rose the fastest in regions such as the Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Black Sea and the tropical Pacific. On land, a large reduction in glacier ice was observed across the globe. Significant glacier retreat was observed in Alaska, the Andes, High Mountain Asia and New Zealand.\nEurope: Much of Europe experienced up to three weeks less snow than average during Winter 2021-22, which contributed to widespread drought conditions and increased glacier melt the following summer. Diminished snow cover exposes the vulnerable surface of glaciers to the sun, which accelerated melting in the European Alps during the summer when temperatures reached exceptional highs, setting a record amount of ice lost in a single year, 7% of ice mass (equivalent to more than 3.5 meters of thinning).\nArctic: In 2022, Greenland saw its highest temperatures on record for the month of September, reaching up to 8°C above average. The extreme heat, combined with rainfall during a time of year when precipitation would normally fall as snow, led to record ice sheet melt, with around a quarter of the ice sheet’s surface experiencing melt during the first few days of September. These records were mirrored in other Arctic regions such as Svalbard, which experienced its warmest summer on record in 2022 and reached 2.5°C above average in some areas.", "label": "No"} {"text": "General rule: one can raise higher taxes, in proportion to the liberty of the subjects; and one is forced to moderate them to the degree that servitude increases. This has always been, and will always remain so. It is a rule drawn from nature, which does not vary at all; one finds it in all countries, in England, in Holland, and in all states in which liberty becomes degraded, right down to Turkey.\nThe Seven Years War (1756-1763) was a bunch of major powers (Austria, France, Russia) ganging up to cut Prussia down to size. The English joined in on the Prussian side, on the theory that an enemy of France was a friend of theirs. The war was also a world war, long before World War One, involving fighting as far afield as North America and India. On the international side, it was a win for England, and a loss for France, with the French losing Quebec and India.\nThe war brought home an important advantage of a constitutional state over an absolutist one. England was able to raise higher taxes on its subjects because they were voting for the taxes themselves, through Parliament. And England was able to borrow money for the war on easier terms than France, because English lenders were more confident that Parliament wouldn’t default on its debts: many of those who bought English war bonds either stood in Parliament, or voted for those who did. In spite of the “absolutist” label, French kings had a harder time squeezing money out of their subjects, and resorted to a lot of dubious expedients. For example, the government raised money by selling life annuities to investors: pay a lump sum for the annuity, and the government would pay back a fixed amount for every year the beneficiary was alive (sort of reverse life insurance). This led, among other things, to a syndicate of investors buying annuities on behalf of groups of young girls (such as The Thirty Geneva Maidens), judged the best bet, actuarially, for long life expectancies.\nGenerally they had to have reached the age of seven so as to be beyond the risk of smallpox. These maidens received the finest medical care, and Geneva’s wealthy bourgeoisie followed their health in the newspapers – not surprising given the huge investments that rested on their shoulders.\nBut the government was in such financial straits that it eventually started paying only a fraction of the promised annuities. The military weakness of the French state, stemming from its fiscal weakness, was the major cause of the French Revolution.\nIt would be nice to follow Montesquieu, and draw an improving moral lesson from this: constitutional liberty beats absolutism. But things played out differently in Eastern Europe, where there was less of a commercial sector to tap, and governments depended more on coercion – serfs serving their lords, lords serving the state – to keep up as great powers. There, the great constitutional state – the elective monarchy of Poland – was reduced to a second rank power, and eventually eliminated entirely. The most impressive military power, relative to its size, was Prussia, “not a country with an army, but an army with a country.” This was not the last time that military exigencies would push social evolution in very different directions in Western and Eastern Europe.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The brain is situated in a rigid box (the skull) that cannot expand, so normal swelling from injury cannot occur. When brain swelling does occur, pressure inside the skull rises. This makes it harder for the heart to pump the oxygen-rich blood into the brain needed for recovery. If treating physicians cannot control swelling, the lack of blood supply to the swollen brain can cause further brain damage. Efforts to avoid this damage can include regular monitoring of the pressure inside the skull (intracranial). There are different ways to monitor pressure. One commonly used method is to insert a small probe into the skull. But whenever something is put into the skull, there is a chance it may cause bleeding or an infection.\nThe evidence in this review was up to date as of May 2015.\nThe one randomised controlled trial (RCT) identified included 324 participants, all of whom had sustained severe traumatic brain injury and were receiving care in intensive care units in South America. People in one group had a pressure monitoring device inserted into their skull. People in the control group did not receive the device. All participants had regular monitoring of pressure in the skull through observation by the treating doctors and nurses, and X-rays.\nWe did not identify any (statistically significant) differences between the two groups at six months in relation to death or survival with severe disability. There were no important complications of ICP monitoring.\nMore research is needed into how routine monitoring of intracranial pressure can inform clinical care.\nThe data from the single RCT studying the role of routine ICP monitoring in acute traumatic coma fails to provide evidence to support the intervention.\nResearch in this area is complicated by the fact that RCTs necessarily assess the combined impact of measurement of ICP with the clinical management decisions made in light of this data. Future studies will need to assess the added value of ICP data alongside other information from the multimodal monitoring typically performed in intensive care unit settings. Additionally, even within traumatically acquired brain injury (TBI), there is great heterogeneity in mechanisms, distribution, location and magnitude of injury, and studies within more homogeneous subgroups are likely to be more informative.\nWe know that the brain damage resulting from traumatic and other insults is not due solely to the direct consequences of the primary injury. A significant and potentially preventable contribution to the overall morbidity arises from secondary hypoxic-ischaemic damage. Brain swelling accompanied by raised intracranial pressure (ICP) prevents adequate cerebral perfusion with well-oxygenated blood.\nDetection of raised ICP could be useful in alerting clinicians to the need to improve cerebral perfusion, with consequent reductions in brain injury.\nTo determine whether routine ICP monitoring in severe coma of any cause reduces the risk of all-cause mortality or severe disability at final follow-up.\nWe searched the Cochrane Injuries Group Specialised Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE (OvidSP), EMBASE (OvidSP), CINAHL Plus, ISI Web of Science (SCI-EXPANDED & CPCI-S), clinical trials registries and reference lists. We ran the most recent search on 22 May 2015.\nAll randomised controlled studies of real-time ICP monitoring by invasive or semi-invasive means in acute coma (traumatic or non-traumatic aetiology) versus clinical care without ICP monitoring (that is, guided only by clinical or radiological inference of the presence of raised ICP).\nTwo authors (ET and RF) worked independently to identify the one study that met inclusion criteria. JR and RF independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias. We contacted study authors for additional information, including details of methods and outcome data.\nOne randomized controlled trial (RCT) meeting the selection criteria has been identified to date.\nThe included study had 324 participants. We judged risk of bias to be low for all categories except blinding of participants and personnel, which is not feasible for this intervention. There were few missing data, and we analysed all on an intention-to-treat basis.\nParticipants could be 13 years of age or older (mean age of sample 29; range 22 to 44), and all had severe traumatic brain injury, mostly due to traffic incidents. All were receiving care within intensive care units (ICUs) at one of six hospitals in either Bolivia or Ecuador. Investigators followed up 92% of participants for six months or until death. The trial excluded patients with a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) equal to three and fixed dilated pupils on admission on the basis that they had sustained brain injury of an unsalvageable severity.\nThe study compared people managed using either an intracranial monitor or non-invasive monitoring (imaging and clinical examination) to identify potentially harmful raised intracranial pressure. Both study groups used imaging and clinical examination measures.\nMortality at six months was 56/144 (39%) in the ICP-monitored group and 67/153 (44%) in the non-invasive group.\nUnfavourable outcome (defined as death or moderate to severe disability at six months) as assessed by the extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E) was 80/144 (56%) in the ICP-monitored group and 93/153 (61%) in the non-invasive group.\nSix percent of participants in the ICP monitoring group had complications related to the monitoring, none of which met criteria for being a serious adverse event. There were no complications relating to the non-invasive group.\nOther complications and adverse events were comparable between treatment groups, 70/157 (45%) in the ICP-monitored group and 76/167 (46%) in the non-invasive group.\nLate mortality in both the monitored and non-invasive groups was high, with 35% of deaths occurring > 14 days after injury. The authors comment that this high late mortality may reflect inadequacies in post-ICU services for disabled survivors requiring specialist rehabilitation care.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Denim traces its origins back to France and the development of a kind of twill called ‘serge de Nimes.’ But the cultural icon that blue jeans have become is widely credited to Levi Strauss back in 1870s San Francisco. Back then, “Levi’s” were marketed as “shrink to fit,” meaning just that: you bought them a size or too large and they shrunk to the size you wanted after the first wash.\nThis, ladies and gentlemen, was unsanforized denim, also known as “loom state” because that’s how it came right off the loom: no washing, no pre-shrinking, just cotton in its original state.\nBlue jeans were invented in the 1870s, but sanforization was invented in 1928, with Levi’s adopting it in the 1960s. All of a sudden, jeans were no longer “shrink to fit.” So what happened to them?\nAnd why would so many people prefer still jeans the old fashioned, unsanforized way?\nI was grossly under-informed about this process so I enlisted denim historian, consultant, and designer Mohsin Sajid to help untangle the complicated details of sanforization.\nSanforized vs Unsanforized denim explained\n- Sanforization is a process that pre-shrinks denim (or any other textile)\n- The process uses steam, water, and (less often) chemicals to do so\nSanforized denim has undergone the sanforization process, and it’s more often called “pre-shrunk denim.”\nAccording to Mohsin, “it’s basically a way of treating fabric mostly cotton-based garments or for fabrics that basically kind of shrinks it lines the fabric and it gets rid of most of the shrinkage and it’s still raw”\nDenim that hasn’t been through the sanforization process is known as unsanforized, “loom state,” or “shrink to fit,” as that will happen after its first wash.\nIn reality, very few jeans are completely unsanforized, including the modern-day Levi’s shrink-to-fits, which actually do undergo just a touch of sanforization.\nThe video, below, is what a sanforizing machine looks like, “they get the fabric and they put it through a massive sanforization machine, this machine is bigger than a football pitch it’s really really large.”\nSometimes, sanforizing is done with chemicals instead of water, and more modern, eco-friendly processes draw water from the air to complete the process, using some 99 percent less water than the traditional, not-especially-environmentally-friendly method.\n“[Sanforization] is different chemical processes. There are also machines that other companies have invented that do it with ozone technology. So, you use water from the air to treat to treat the fabric. There are ways of doing it with hardly no water. So now, there are newer types of technologies that don’t use large amounts of water.”\n[Related: 7 Reasons People Love Japanese Denim]\nWhy buy sanforized denim?\nSanforized denim solves a few inherent “problems” with unfinished denim, or at least, what much of the market considers to be problems.\n- Sanforizing vastly reduces shrinkage. If your jeans are unsanforized, they’ll shrink anywhere from 2 to 10 percent on the first wash, making figuring out your size extremely difficult.\n- Sanforizing smooths out the denim. The unsanforized stuff tends to be rougher and stiffer.\n“Nowadays most brands use some sanforized fabric because they want their side seams to remain straight,” Mohsin says, “I know if someone else was buying a pair of jeans they would get very irritated after the first wash it shrinks by three inches. They would actually be annoyed. They’ll think it’s a fault in the fabric. It’s the brand. They’ll probably complain about it.”\nMohsin explained skewing as:\n“If you’ve ever had a graphic t-shirt and overtime the graphic kind of moves, that’s skewing, it all relates to how the cotton has been spun. You find it on early denim styles that are unsanforized. And us denim heads we love that, we love skewing. most people don’t it has to be dead straight.”\nWhy buy unsanforized denim?\nSo why are so many guys attracted to unsanforized jeans?\n- Unsanforized denim is more “traditional.” Many guys, particularly those in the heritage fashion community, simply like wearing clothes made the old fashioned way.\n- Unsanforized denim is rougher, stiffer, more coarse, and oftentimes, the “hair” on fuzzier denims is singed off during the process. Guys who like their jeans to have “character” prefer it like this.\n- Unsanforized jeans have more “leg twist.” As this kind of jean wears in, the denim tends to “twist” around the leg, making the side seam wrap around your thigh and calf. It’s inconsequential for comfort and durability, but some denimheads absolutely love this.\n- Unsanforized jeans might fit better. This is controversial and many people dispute it, but there is a belief that because it’s less processed, unsanforized jeans do a better job of molding to the wearer’s body type. Believers buy them oversized, wear them for a while so that they conform to our individual nooks and crannies, then soak or wash them.\nDespite all of these potential advantages, it’s still very difficult to get the right size with the unsanforized stuff and the vast, vast majority of customers have no patience to tend to their shrinking and stretching jeans, so only a tiny percentage of jeans sold are actually unsanforized.\n“I personally like it when it’s unsanforized so I love it when it shrinks.” says Mohsin, “I love it when all the skewing happens me personally as a designer I love that.”\nThe benefits of unsanforized denim are all related to this idea of wanting authentic, unique fabric,\n“If you go back to the 30s and 40s everything was made like that. Being a denim designer and a historian who looks at old garments and I go, ‘Oh! I love that garment. Oh! I love that pocket, how it’s warped and everything about it’s twisted. It’s hard to recreate that. Sometimes you have to go back and use fabrics that do [warp and twist] rather than engineering your pattern to twist”\nMost consumers don’t want this, but buying raw, unsanforized denim is a hobby. It’s like collecting old cars or old computers. It’s the combination of history, engineering, and style that makes it a fun hobby. Mohsin sums it up as,\nI’m one of these people that loves when things shrink. So I love it when you get puckering around the pocket.I love it also — you know this might be frowned upon —I like it when the side seams start to twist and the inseam starts twisting.\nSanforized vs Raw Denim\nMany, many people confuse these two terms and while they often overlap, they’re not the same.\nWe’ve covered what “sanforized” means, but raw denim means that the jeans haven’t been washed. They may have been sanforized, and in all likelihood, they have. Sanforized raw denim exists: it’s skipped the heating/steaming at the factory, but it did get a wash. This would have reduced some of the shrinkage (2 or 3 percent), but they’ll still shrink some more when you wash or soak them.\n“Raw, in the denim world, means unwashed. Unwashed is still not washing. One one wash means it’s been rinsed, so they probably added water with it. They probably added softener with it to make it more softer and then they’ve ironed it and they pressed it. That makes it not raw. It’s not raw but you can still break it in. A raw jacket in it’s loom state means it’s directly off the roll.”\nSanforization and Shrinkage\nAs a general rule, a pair of jeans made from sanforized denim will shrink by around two or three percent on the first wash.\nMohsin recommends, “If you’re doing this whole raw denim journey buy slightly bigger.”\nOn the other hand, unsanforized denim will shrink by up to ten percent on the first wash. Most of this shrinkage will be in the legs after its first soak, since these are comparatively longer than the waist band. This shrinkage could be as much as one or two sizes’ difference!\nIf you plan to go with unsanforized denim, be on the lookout for these 5 common rookie mistakes buyers of raw denim jeans make.\n[More denim history: Were Jeans Really Banned In the Soviet Union?]\nHow do they sanforize denim?\nWhile Levi Strauss and his rivals wrestled with denim’s tendency to shrink, the problem was largely solved by the late 1920s. That was when, finally, American inventor and entrepreneur Sanford L Cluett came up with a solution. His sanforization process was effectively a process to compact woven fabrics like denim.\nBefore his process came along, an unsanforized pair of jeans was all that was on offer to the consumer. Shrink to fit denim was the order of the day, whether you liked it or not, regardless of the brand you picked — and the same applied to other fabrics.\n“It does it with heat rollers. It does it with steam. There’s many different processes but the sanforization process has been patented and many people do it now. But it’s mostly through heat rollers. They do slightly dampen the fabric and they stretch and they steam it really quickly and they iron it again.”\nThis new process involves feeding the fabric between hot rollers. The unsanforized textile is placed on a conveyor belt at the mill and moistened, typically by steam, rather than being given a soak in a bath. The moisture helps to lubricate the fibers of the denim and pump primes shrinkage.\n‘Washed’ and stretched\nWashing jeans and sanforizing is different. It’s different because when you wash at home, some people do cold washes, some people do 30 degrees 40 degrees. The temperatures completely change the fabric. Every fabric that’s produced is done on a certain loom. It’s done with a certain type of indigo. You don’t know where the cotton has come from there are so many variables in the world of denim”\nThe fabric is both stretched and compressed during the process.\nAfter the denim is stretched, the sanforization machine returns the denim to its right size and texture as the warp yarns shrink, and the weft yarns are compressed closely together. The sanforized denim is then placed in a dryer for a certain amount of time to ensure the cotton fibers remain locked in their current texture. Most mills will do this on-site, before the jeans hit the stores. It is a fully automated process that only requires humans to press “enter.”\nSanforization leads to more precise sizing compared to unsanforized selvedge denim jeans after their first fabric wash in your washing machine.\nIn many ways, sanforized jeans and their ready-made shrinkage are what has helped denim become the global success story it has become for generations. However, while this shrinkage has done a lot to popularize jeans, there are fans of unsanforized denim whose preference remains unaltered to this day. Despite new releases from brands all the time, the unsanforized denimhead will continue to prefer sizing their jeans themselves for that exact reason. Even if this means getting soaked in the bath to ensure their jeans fit their body perfectly. To some, the first wash is a rite they have to perform every time they buy new blue denim.\n[Related: The History of the Denim Jacket]\nThe question of sanforized vs unsanforized denim is not easy to answer. There are pros and cons to each camp which, in the end, come down to personal preference. To first wash or not to first wash, that is indeed the question. Do you even have the time or inclination to soak in the bath wearing your denims? Many consumers just want pants that fit and aren’t all that interested in their treatment.\nWhether you like DIY finishing is a subjective idea. What is not open for debate, though, is that sanforized denim has made shopping for casual wear clothing a whole lot easier. And if Levi Strauss were still around, we are quietly confident he would think the same.\nA big thanks to Mohsin Sajid for patiently explaining this very complex topic.

'Raw' doesn't necessarily mean unsanforized. Other indicators are that unsanforized denim is typically stiffer and rougher, with many considering it to have more 'character.'\nIs raw denim sanforized?\nUsually. Raw denim refers to denim that is unwashed and untreated, and while it's usually unsanforized, this isn't always the case. You can sanforize raw denim with heat, steam, or chemicals in order to reduce shrinkage, but as it hasn't been washed, it's still considered raw.\nWhat does unsanforized mean?\nSanforization is a process that shrinks material (not just denim) with steam, water, and/or chemicals. Unsanforized denim will shrink 3 to 10% on its first wash, so sanforized denim is easier to size, though some find unsanforized denim to have more character, despite being rougher and stiffer.\nHow do you shrink unsanforized denim?\nOne typically submerges the jeans in water for 30 to 60 minutes, which shrinks it from 3 to 10%. The hotter the water, the greater the shrinkage, but don’t use anything hotter than hot tap water. (ie. don’t boil anything.)\nIs unsanforized denim better?\nIt’s entirely subjective. Sanforized denim won’t shrink in the wash so it’s easier to size at the outset, plus it’s typically smoother and softer. Some prefer unsanforized denim because it’s rougher, stiffer, and hairier — it has more character,’ if that’s your thing.\nLatest posts by Nick English (see all)\n- Review: Cockpit USA and their Type 440 USN Carrier Jacket - January 29, 2023\n- The 6 Best Athletic Fit Button Down Shirts | Best Value, Widest Variety, and More - January 11, 2023\n- Dr. Martens vs Thursday Boots | Which Is Better for Your Feet? - January 4, 2023", "label": "No"} {"text": "Types of Nurseries: Vegetable seedlings can be produced in containers (boxes or trays) or on seed beds.\nSite Selection: The nursery should be readily accessible, close to a permanent source of clean water for irrigation, not prone to erosion and at least 50m away from vegetable farms to avoid spread of pests and diseases. Avoid sites very close to major roads and factories. For seedbed seedling production, sites with well drained and fertile soils free of soil borne diseases and pests including nuisance weeds are preferred.\nSeed Source: Buy certified seeds from reputable seed companies.\nGermination Test/ Seed Rate: To avoid seed wastage, conduct a germination test.\n- Pick 100 seeds from the lot.\n- Sow in a seed box or bed.\n- Count number of seeds germinated after 5-7 days.\n- 85%-95% means seeds are very good.\n- Below 85% increase seed rate to make up for losses.\n- Discard seeds with germination rate below 60%.\nSeed Bed Preparation: Make beds 1.0m-1.2m wide x2m or more long. Water the beds, cover with 4cm thick dry grass, sawdust or rice straw; leave for 2-3 days to reactivate spores of disease pathogens then burn to sterilize soil or cover the seed bed with transparent plastic sheets for 5-8 weeks to sterilize the soil.\nSoils/Media: For container grown seedlings, soils can be sterilized by steaming. For both seed bed and container grown seedlings, allow media to cool for 2-3 days before sowing.\n- Treat seeds with recommended seed dressing/hot water before planting.\n- Drill thinly in rows 10cm apart and cover with thin layer of soil.\n- For seed trays, sow 1 seed per cell and cover with newsprint.\n- Cover bed with dry grass (non-seeded), transparent plastic sheet or palm fronds and water.\n- Seeds emerge within 5-7 days.\nCare after germination:\n- Remove cover after emergence and cover seedlings with insect proof lutracil nets.\n- Prick out seedlings at first true leaf stage (about 2 weeks after sowing) and thin out weak, malformed and oversized seedlings if seedlings are too overcrowded.\nNutrient Requirement: Fertile soils may not require fertilizer application. Observe seedlings as they grow and if leaves are pale yellow, apply a solution of NPK (5g/L) 1 week after germination. MAP application will promote sturdy root growth.\nIrrigation: Water lightly and regularly.\n- Good site selection.\n- Use of weedicides/herbicides.\n- Good seed bed preparation.\n- Hand pick weeds as they appear.\nPests and Diseases:\nMajor pests in the nursery are aphids, grasshoppers, whiteflies, crickets, leaf miners, beetles, mites, caterpillars, rats and mice.\n- Practice good sanitation.\n- Cover seedlings with insect proof lutracil nets.\n- Scout regularly to assess pest and disease incidence.\n- Where necessary spray seedlings with potassic soap (alata samina) at 5g/15L and vegetable oil 10ml/15L solution or apply approved insecticides.\n- Gstlkkihgbbjjkhbbj hj ijiu\n- Use approved rodenticides at recommended rates or traps to control mice and rats.\nDamping off: Caused by Pythium. Results in the death of seedlings before or shortly after emergence. This may be controlled by nursing seeds on well- drained soils and regulating irrigation. Solarizing the soil for 6-8 weeks before planting, or applying approved copper based fungicides.\nEarly blight: Caused by the airborne fungus Botrytis. Control by use of disease free seeds and thin out densely sown seedlings or prick out into individual containers. Avoid overcrowding.\nRoot Knot Nematode: Nematodes feed on young roots causing wilt. Control by solarization, application of spent neem seed granules or approved nematicides.\nSeedling Maturity: Seedlings are ready for transplanting at five leaf stage. Harden seedlings by decreasing shade gradually until full exposure to sunlight and/or reduce irrigation before transplanting.\nPackaging: The most suitable packaging materials are waxed cardboard boxes and plastic crates with openings that ensure seedlings are well ventilated and growing points remain intact.\nMarket Requirement: Seedlings should be sturdy, fresh and come with a ball of soil/medium protecting the roots.\nSample Operational Budget for one Ha test crop (tomato)*\n|Total estimated cost||460.00|\n*prices will change depending on the crop and variety\nEstimated number of seedlings required for one ha = 56,000\nPrice/seedling (nursery gate) = Ghc 0.25\nIncome = 56000x Ghc0.25\n= Ghc 1,400\nNet income = Ghc1400-Ghc460\nNote: This budget does not include fixed costs and overheads.\nHorticulture Development Unit (HDU-DCS), MOFA\nExport Marketing & Quality Awareness project (EMQAP)\nFor further information contact the nearest MOFA office or HDU.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Provided By OS News\nLearn More about: Fort Myers Business Interruption Insurances\nHurricane Ian Leaves Massive Destruction in Inland Florida\nInland Florida has experienced severe flooding due to Hurricane Ian, which made landfall on October 6, 2022. The state was saved from the worst impacts of the hurricane until the very end, when the storm's heavy rainfall caused flooding in many areas.\nHurricane Ian was initially forecast to hit Florida's east coast, but it eventually made landfall on the state's west coast, causing significant flooding in inland areas. The heavy rainfall caused rivers and creeks to overflow, leading to widespread flooding.\nMany communities in central Florida were affected by the flooding, with some areas experiencing water levels as high as six feet. Emergency responders were deployed to assist with evacuations and rescue operations, and many residents were forced to seek temporary shelter.\nArcadia, which is 50 miles north of Fort Myers and roughly 50 miles east of the Gulf Coast, was initially affected by the Category 4 storm as it moved east, delivering hurricane-force winds and severe rainfall to the state's interior. The Peace River spilling over its banks as it makes its way through Arcadia on its route to the Gulf of Mexico dealt a second blow.\nThe river, which is typically a slow-moving body of water where kayakers and alligators cohabit, overwhelmed portions of the city and many of the nearby farms and cattle ranches.\nWhile Florida is no stranger to hurricanes, the flooding caused by Hurricane Ian was particularly severe due to the storm's slow-moving nature and heavy rainfall. As climate change continues to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, it is likely that Florida and other coastal states will continue to experience significant impacts from hurricanes and other natural disasters.\nEfforts are underway to mitigate the impacts of these events, including infrastructure upgrades, disaster preparedness planning, and initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, it will take a concerted effort from governments, businesses, and individuals to address the challenges posed by climate change and build a more resilient future for all.\nIn addition to the flooding, Hurricane Ian also brought high winds and storm surges to Florida's coastlines. Coastal communities experienced significant damage to buildings and infrastructure, and many residents were forced to evacuate in advance of the storm.\nDespite the challenges posed by Hurricane Ian, Florida's emergency responders and local officials were well-prepared to handle the storm's impacts. The state has a comprehensive disaster response system in place, which includes emergency management agencies, local first responders, and volunteer organizations.\nIn the aftermath of the storm, many residents and businesses in affected areas are working to rebuild and recover. The process of recovering from a natural disaster can be long and difficult, but communities often come together to support one another during these challenging times.\nLooking ahead, it is clear that climate change will continue to pose significant challenges for Florida and other coastal states. Rising sea levels, increased hurricane activity, and more frequent and severe heat waves are just a few of the impacts that are expected in the coming years.\nIf you are fighting with your insurance company to get your claim paid, call us today to advocate on your behalf.

Most states have had their budgets reduced in comparison to previous years. A large percentage of law enforcement is now becoming the responsibility of the local government agencies, and not of the state government. Local towns are also facing a decline in revenues, and increasing their financial burden will probably only compound issues and lead to more cuts and losses. People have reducing spending because of which towns are not generating the needed funding. Pay cuts have reduced spending and caused fewer town revenues. Everyone agrees that they will have to do more with less.\nThis economic crisis has also resulted in an increase in employment. There is a possible relation between unemployment and crime, because inflation basically reduces the real income of unskilled laborers, and increases the demand for cheaper often illegal goods. Many agencies have said that they need additional funding. Of the many sheriffs and police officers interviewed, only 8 percent reported not needing an increase in officers to maintain an effective police force. It is generally understood that larger agencies needed a smaller percent increase in staffing, while smaller agencies a larger increase. One police chief said that they would have to try and do the same job but with less money.\nMany agencies are desperately trying to cope with these cuts, because during tough economic times, the demand for law enforcement agencies increases, yet budgets are being mercilessly slashed. It is the average citizen who is the loser in all this. Besides layoffs and pay cuts, overtime has also been significantly reduced. Small sized police departments seemed to be the least affected by overtime reductions. Jails have also been affected by the receding economy. There has been an increase in the jail population but no increase in the funds to maintain the prisoners. The economy has also had adverse affects on the performance of the courts.\nOfficers cite various problems including the decline in efficiency of the courts due to budget cuts. They have noted an increase in property due to which there are case overloads. Judges were also said to more lenient, and there was less sentencing or charges filed against offenders. In order to help compensate for a reduction in funding, one method some agencies have implemented is increased reliance on less costly civilian staff. Fifty percent of the sheriffs’ offices responding stated they have increased the use of civilians. The economic crisis will have an adverse affect on the court system.

Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers which affect many different processes. Indeed fixing hormones can do a lot to boost your health. In this interview, Dr. Sacha Elliott will explain to us the link between hormone imbalance and skin issues…\nDr. Elliott, what role do hormones play in our body?\nHormones are a powerful tool that our bodies use to affect our growth, mood, metabolism and reproduction. They’re essential to everyday function and contribute to almost every aspect of our health including digestion, weight, sleep, menses, skin, and how we manage our stress.\nEndocrine glands, such as the thyroid or pancreas, produce hormones in response to the body’s demand; these are released into the bloodstream to act locally or are carried downstream to affect distal tissue.\nHow do you usually tell if hormones are unbalanced?\nIt is usually fairly obvious when hormones become imbalanced and one will recognize negative shifts in their health.\nFor example, a woman’s menstrual cycle may become irregular, her moods more imbalanced, she may complain of fatigue, acne, and hair loss, while a man may complain of gynecomastia (growth of breast tissue), erectile dysfunction, diminished sex drive, or balding.\nMenopause is another classic example of hormones changing: women may experience hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, and vaginal dryness.\nHowever, in a healthy body, natural hormone changes over a lifecycle may not create any problems whatsoever: I have many female patients who claim they breezed right through menopause with little or no issues (lucky them!)\nIt is said that there may be a link between hormone imbalance and skin. Can fluctuating levels of hormones affect our skin?\nAbsolutely! The main skin conditions I see in practice are eczema, acne, hives, and psoriasis. There tends to be more direct hormone involvement with acne, but if hormones are imbalanced, they may also worsen skin conditions such as eczema.\nVitamin D is technically a hormone in the body – one of its functions is to modulate our immune system, and with many of us in North America having subpar levels of vitamin D, it inadvertently impacts the health of our skin.\nWhat skin problems can be most likely triggered by hormonal changes?\nThe most common skin condition I see that is directly triggered by hormonal changes is acne.\nThere are two common presentations that show up in the female population I work with: estrogen dominance and acne associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).\nEstrogen dominance is a term that is used to describe levels of estrogen that are too high in proportion to progesterone levels. This imbalance contributes to facial acne – often presenting along the jawline.\nIn PCOS, androgen levels (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone) are often elevated causing oily skin and deeper, cystic acne.\nOther common PCOS complaints are blood sugar swings, weight gain, excessive hair growth (ex. chin hair), and infertility.\nIf acne begins to develop in a teenager or adult, it’s important to assess nutrition, exercise, and hormone levels.\nAre there any effective natural solutions for treating hormone imbalances?\nThere certainly are many different natural avenues of treatment you can pursue to clear up your skin and reverse common complaints of hormone imbalance such as fatigue and infertility.\nNutrition is a huge component! If you’re not eating well, you won’t be able to make enough hormones (cholesterol is a precursor) or you’ll impede your hormone’s ability to bind to cell receptors and enter the cell.\nAlso, hormones are extremely sensitive to toxicity, and glands such as the thyroid do not function optimally in a toxic environment. Detoxifying our homes and bodies regularly lends to greater hormone balance.\nLifestyle and exercise are also important to consider. Stress causes immediate cortisol release (an adrenal hormone) which impacts many different systems in the body. It’s important to have strategies such as daily walks in the woods, meditation, or yoga, to deal with the constant bombardment of stress from our environment.\nLastly, when there is a strong foundation of health in place – ie. hydration, restorative sleep, stress management, nutrition, exercise, and social connection – we can add herbs, supplements, acupuncture and homeopathy to support the body in balancing our hormones.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Probability and Statistics for Beginners Free Download\n- Statistics and Probability with real life example.

EPI’s report outlines the problems with the data and data interpretation that cast severe doubt on the claim that there is a well-defined threshold above which public debt cannot rise without affecting growth, let alone a threshold precisely at 90 percent.\nIn Government Debt and Economic Growth: Overreaching Claims of Debt “Threshold” Suffer From Theoretical and Empirical Flaws, EPI researchers John Irons and Josh Bivens analyze Growth in A Time of Debt. Their primary findings are:\n- The 90 percent level was not determined by the data. Reinhart and Rogoff created four arbitrary debt level categories, which makes the “cliff” effect of the 90 percent even more questionable.\n- The United States has exceeded the 90 percent threshold in only 6 of the 218 years that Reinhart and Rogoff analyze. These 6 years were in the 1940s, when economic trends was dominated by the influence of World War II defense spending—particularly the withdrawal of government spending and the resulting economic contractions of postwar demobilization. In short, general notions about the relationship between high debt levels and growth cannot be inferred from this one unique era.\n- Reinhart and Rogoff find a correlation between high debt levels and slower growth and infer causality—but economic theory suggests that causality would actually be more likely to run in the opposite direction, as slow growth sees revenue declines and rising safety spending that adds to debt. The data supports this alternate explanation.\n- Reinhart and Rogoff look at debt in a given year and growth in that same year— but textbook theory actually argues that borrowing in one year would affect future growth.\n- Reinhart and Rogoff measure gross debt, but it is debt held by the public that is economically relevant. In 2009, the difference between gross debt and debt held by the public was more than $2 trillion, or 16% of GDP—and that difference is critical in the determination of a specific threshold.The U.S. economy is currently experiencing the worst recession in 70 years. The recession is marked by persistent unemployment—more than 14 million workers are unemployed, and almost half of those have been unemployed for longer than six months. Influential policymakers and members of the media have cited the work of Reinhart and Rogoff as evidence of a need for immediate debt reduction. However, the 90 percent threshold established by Growth in a Time of Debt simply is not real. It is true that the U.S. faces long-term structural budget deficits—particularly in relation to rising health care costs. However, the immediate economic crisis that the federal government must address remains a severe lack of jobs. The immediate danger is that debt- and deficit-related concerns will paralyze the Obama administration and Congress and prevent them from taking aggressive action on job creation.\n# # #", "label": "No"} {"text": "Alprazolam is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It is classified as short-acting, and is used to treat anxiety disorders and insomnia. more...\nAlprazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine, that is, a benzodiazepine with a triazolo-ring attached to its structure. Alprazolam binds to the GABAA subtype of the GABA receptor, increasing inhibitory effects of GABA within the central nervous system. The binding site for benzodiazepines is distinct from the binding site for GABA on the GABA receptor.\nUnlike other benzodiazepines, alprazolam may also have some antidepressant activity, although clinical evidence of this is lacking.\nThe mechanism of action is not fully understood; However, Alprazolam is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The peak plasma concentration is achieved in 1-2 hours. Most of the drug is bound to plasma protein, mainly albumin. Alprazolam is hydroxylated in the liver to α-hydroxyalprazolam, which is also pharmacologically active. This and other metabolites are later excreted in urine as glucuronides. Some of the drug is also excreted in unchanged form.\nThe main medical uses for alprazolam include:\n- Treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia.\nAlprazolam is very effective in preventing panic attacks. However, despite its efficacy, many psychiatrists are reluctant to use alprazolam for this condition because of the possibility of dependence and interdose anxiety due to its short-acting nature. An extended-release formulation of alprazolam known as Xanax XR® was introduced in 2001 and is often preferred.\n- Treatment of panic attacks.\nAlprazolam is taken as needed (PRN); 4 to 6 doses per month are the acceptable limit. If dependence seems to develop and/or the limit is exceeded, therapy may be reconsidered and/or discontinued.\n- Long-term treatment of severe generalized anxiety disorders.\nAlprazolam may be used for long-term treatment of anxiety if other therapies either do not work or are contraindicated. Duration of therapy in this case is often four months or longer. The decision to use alprazolam for this purpose must be carefully made by a specialized psychiatrist, taking into account the individual's suffering, quality of life, loss of social performance and risk of dependence.\n- Adjunctive treatment of depression.\nAlprazolam is sometimes used together with SSRIs such as paroxetine, sertraline, or fluoxetine to alleviate initial SSRI-induced anxiety while waiting for the antidepressant to begin working.

These medicines include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and ofloxacin (Floxin). More than 23 million patients received a prescription for one of them in 2011.\nPeripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves that send information to and from the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. Damage interrupts this connection, and the symptoms depend on which nerves are affected. In general, the symptoms are in the arms and legs and include numbness, tingling, burning, or shooting pain.\nPeripheral neuropathy has been listed as a side effect of fluoroquinolones since 2004. There have been reports of long-lasting nerve damage and disability in patients taking this type of medication.\nA recent FDA review revealed that the existing warnings for fluoroquinolones were inadequate. The FDA's newest alert requires that all drug labels and medication guides for fluoroquinolones be updated to better emphasize the risk for serious and potentially irreversible peripheral neuropathy.\nNerve Damage Risk: What You Need to Know\n- Peripheral neuropathy symptoms typically begin rapidly, within a few days of starting the fluoroquinolones.\n- Nerve damage symptoms may last for months or even be permanent, despite stopping the drug.\n- The risk for peripheral neuropathy appears to affect only those who take fluoroquinolones by mouth or by injection. Fluoroquinolones used in the eyes or ears are not linked to the risk.\n- Contact your doctor immediately if you develop numbness, tingling, weakness, burning, shooting pains, or other symptoms while taking a fluoroquinolone.\n- Your doctor may tell you to stop taking the medication and prescribe a different type of drug, unless the benefits of fluoroquinolones outweigh the risks. Never stop taking any medication before first talking to your doctor.\nThis is not the first serious warning for fluoroquinolones. In 2008, the FDA required a boxed warning, the most serious type of warning, to be added to the medications, alerting patients of the risk of tendon damage and rupture.\nThe FDA encourages patients and doctors to report side effects to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program or call 800-332-1088.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Have you heard about that new house that went up down the road? It’s wooden, packed full of tubes, and ready for some eggs and mud walls! Of course, I’m talking about a bee house. These exquisite structures exist to house our urban living, solitary bees. Make your own to help these little pollinators in need!\nThe bees are buzzing about this one! Just like us humans, solitary bees in the city pack their homes in tight to make room for everyone. Bee houses are magical little places that contain tons of larvae from the bees who don’t live in hive communities.\nBee houses are crucial because habitat loss is one of the biggest threats to native bees. As we clear away native species, mow down the dandelions, and rake up leaves, we’re hurting the little guys that we rely on for pollination.\nTo help, we need to think about how we can provide flowers and nesting habitats for all the solitary bees out there. Similar to my bug hotel, this bee house is designed just for those wandering bees who can’t find their typical empty cavities to lay their eggs.\nLet’s help the bees and get started!\nJump ahead to…\n- What is a Bee House?\n- How to Make a Bee House\n- Nesting Blocks\n- How to Use a Bee House\n- How to Attract Bees to the House\n- How to Maintain a Bee House\n- Winter Management\n- Spring Management\n- Ongoing Management\n- Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Houses\n- More Posts About Pollinators\nWhat is a Bee House?\nSimilar to bird houses, bee houses provide a place for bees to rest and nest. These houses are used by solitary bees such as mason, leafcutter, and mining bees. Honeybees live in colonies and not on their own, so you won’t find them in these houses!\nMost mason bee houses look like little wooden houses filled to the brim with nesting tubes. These tubes provide places for the bees to hibernate and nest.\nAs gardeners, we are constantly changing the wild spaces and habitats of bees. By adding a bee house, we help protect them from our garden work and visitors.\nBuilding a bee house reminds you to welcome these little insects into your space and thank the bees for their hard work. I also love to use mine as a wonderful teaching opportunity anytime someone points to it and wonders what the heck that thing is.\nHow to Make a Bee House\nThere are a few ways to make a bee house, but all follow the same rules. Here is everything you need to know about creating your own unique home for solitary bees.\nA container can be anything from a coffee can to a milk carton. Often, they are permanent structures made out of wood.\nWhen making your first bee house, think about the size. While a huge bee house may look cool, the reality is that it may house too many bees and be too difficult to maintain for a beginner.\nThe size of the house should also match the surrounding food supply. Do you have enough flowers to support a bee population?\nThe container should be open in the front and closed in the back. Ideally, it should have an overhang to protect it from the rain and outer elements.\nPaint the structure with a waterproof coating to keep out moisture. You can also have fun and paint your boxes to stand out in your garden.\nBee houses are filled with tubes made from natural and recycled materials. Since not all bees use the same materials, it’s a good idea to provide a range of materials and sizes of tubes.\nYou can make your tubes using rolled-up paper or cardboard or fill the house with paper straws and hollow reeds. Some people also use bamboo but it can retain moisture and is more likely to develop pests and fungus. I have used bamboo reeds in the past with no problems, but you need to keep a careful eye on them.\nTo make your own tubes, take some thick paper (such as packing paper) and roll it around a dowel. Tape the paper and gently slide the dowel out. Bend one end of the tube and tape it shut so no light passes through. Tubes should be a minimum of 6 inches deep.\nTape your bundle together and insert it into the container. The tubes should be tightly packed, completely filling the container. Insert them so that the overhang protects the tubes but also so that they still receive direct sunlight.\nAnother option is to use nesting blocks. This is when you drill holes into small pieces of wood. The holes should have various diameters to make up for all the different kinds and sizes of bees. They should range from 1/16-5/8”.\nOnly use untreated wood in the creation of your bee house. Pine, spruce, and oak are good bee-friendly options.\nHow to Use a Bee House\nIn nature, solitary bees like to seek out empty cavities like hollow stems, rock crevices, fallen logs, and more. With the bee house, they will construct a similar nest. First, they gather mud and other materials and carry them back to the nest to create walls known as partitions. Between each wall, the female bee will leave an egg and pollen.\nYou want to make sure the female bees can easily find the house and that it’s in a good location for the developing larvae. Place your mason bee house somewhere that receives early morning sun since bees are early risers. It should be 4-10 feet off the ground to protect the bees from predators.\nProtect the bee house from moisture and rain. Excess moisture leads to cocoons becoming mouldy and the spread of fungi.\nHow to Attract Bees to the House\nThe best way to attract bees to your mason bee house is to make your garden and the surrounding area as bee-friendly as possible. This means planting early-season flowers for those early mason bees as well as flowers that bloom well into the fall. Give them as much nourishment as possible.\nThe bee house will be most active during early to mid-summer with many bees using the house for nesting. Make sure no vegetation blocks the entrance, that it’s getting enough sun, and consider adding a bee bath to the area.\nBees like natural habitats, so try to make your garden a little less polished. Leave the leaves in the fall, allow the lawn to go longer between cuttings, and embrace a little mess in your garden.\nHow to Maintain a Bee House\nMaintaining a bee house is singlehandedly the most important thing you need to do. If you don’t maintain the bee house after building it, it can become a death trap for the bees you’re trying so hard to help!\nCertain predators affect solitary bees. Kleptoparasites steal the pollen that the females leave behind for their offspring, leaving none for the larvae. This includes pollen mites, carpet beetles, and the Houdini fly.\nParasites also can enter the cells and feast on the cocoons of the bees. This includes parasitic wasps and chalkbrood fungus. Without management, bee houses can easily build up these pests.\nIn nature, these bee cavities tend to be more spread out. Human-made homes hold a much higher number of bees living together. With more bees, they become more susceptible to mites and pests which is why it’s so important to step in rather than leave the bees to themselves like they would in their natural habitat.\nAll the materials should be cleaned out on an annual basis. Between September and November, take down your hotel as the bees will be fully formed by them.\nYou’re then going to remove the tubes and carefully inspect them to look for parasites. This is known as harvesting the cocoons. You can learn how to harvest and store bees properly over at the David Suzuki Foundation.\nToss out any used tubes and clean the entire structure using soap and water. Soak and scrub and nesting blocks you intend to reuse.\nTake out the house in February to March after the last frost. Ideally, hang it in the same spot every year as some bees like to return to the same nesting spot. Replace any discarded tubes with new materials.\nPlace your collected cocoons outside somewhere close to your home, protected from the elements, and facing the morning sun. Mason bees emerge first and leaf cutter bees hatch in June.\nCheck on the house every few weeks to make sure everything is going smoothly. To keep out birds like woodpeckers and blue jays, you can also cover the exterior of the house with metal netting. Do not cover the nesting holes as this can obstruct the bees from entering.\nFrequently Asked Questions About Bee Houses\nSince solitary bees are excellent pollinators, some companies began selling bees to help with commercial pollination. You can actually buy the cocoons of these bees to put in your yard.\nWhile bee populations are declining, it’s better to look at how we can help the current bee population rather than introduce these purchased bees. By looking after the environment and native species, we can help the health of the whole planet.\nYes! Solitary bees need bee houses in urban settings since their natural nesting habitat becomes more difficult to find. To make bee houses the best place possible, you really need to maintain them. If you leave bee houses to their own devices, they can become pest-infested areas and are bad for the bees you’re trying to help.\nYou’ll know bees are in there when the tubes slowly fill and become packed with mulch and leaf debris. This means there are bee larvae inside!\nMake your own bee house rather than a commercial one. Most aren’t made with the proper materials and can harm the bees.\nBee houses need to be cleaned every year. Discard any used or old tubes and replace them with new ones. Reusing tubes can lead to the spread of diseases throughout generations of bees.\nTake the house and scrub it down with biodegradable soap and water. Soak and scrub the nesting blocks. You can use a 5% liquid oxygen bleach to help kill fungi and bacteria.\nAllow the house to fully dry before placing new materials in. Ideally, you should clean the house in the fall after removing the hibernating bees and let the house sit inside until February-March\nHoney bees do not use bee houses. Honey bees are colony bees who live in hives of thousands of bees. Anyone who wants honey bees will need a bee box/hive which is much larger and meant to host a whole colony.\nBee houses are meant for solitary bees like mason and leafcutter species. These guys are actually much more effective at pollinating than honey bees!\nWhile wasps are beneficial predators that keep away bad bugs, they also feast on bee larvae. Placement of the bee house will help keep them away. Too much shade can attract hole-nesting wasps. While you want to provide some afternoon shade, make sure the bee house gets plenty of early morning sun.\nClean your bee house every fall and look for parasites. Keep your cocoons in a garden shed or unheated garage in the winter to keep them away from any potential predators.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Sarcoidosis of the Thyroid\nGranulomatous Lesions and Thyroid Function\nBy Elaine Moore\nSarcoidosis of the thyroid gland usually causes hypothyroidism although it may also cause euthyroid thyroiditis, and it may occur in patients with hyperthyroidism.\nWhat is Sarcoidosis of the Thyroid Gland?\nSarcoidosis of the thyroid gland is a rare disorder first reported in 1938 that primarily affects young and middle-aged females although both males and females of all ages may be affected. Sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland usually results in hypothyroidism because of fibrosis interfering with thyroid function. However, sarcoidosis of the thyroid may cause a euthyroid (normal thyroid function) form of thyroiditis and goiter. And occasionally sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland occurs in association with Graves’ disease and less commonly in patients with toxic multinodular goiter. In addition sarcoid lesions may occur as cold thyroid nodules and be mistaken for thyroid cancer.\nDevelopment of Sarcoidosis\nSarcoidosis has been found to be associated with T-cell activation. Consequently, sarcoidosis is suspected of developing as an inflammatory response to a single provocation, which can be another disease. For instance, 5 percent of all patients with Hodgkin’s disease are found to have evidence of liver sarcoidosis, which is suspected of arising as a response to the Hodgkin’s neoplasm.\nSimilarly, sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland may develop in response to an established thyroid disorder including Graves’ disease, nodular goiter, and thyroid cancer. Patients with Graves’ disease may also have concomitant conditions of sarcoidosis affecting the lungs. Patients with systemic sarcoidosis may also develop sarcoid lesions in various organs including the thyroid gland.\nSymptoms and Signs\nSarcoidosis of the thyroid gland usually results in hypothyroidism due to fibrosis of thyroid tissue or interference with the function of normal thyroid cells. However, when sarcoidosis occurs in patients with hyperthyroidism caused by Graves’ disease or toxic multinodular goiter, the hyperthyroidism is often resistant to treatment with I131 ablation or anti-thyroid drugs. In cases of chronic sarcoidosis, skin lesions, enlarged lymph nodes (especially in the chest cavity), enlarged spleen, enlarged liver, uveitis, cardiac symptoms, and arthritis may occur. Although thyroid sarcoidosis is generally painless, there are isolated reports of painful lesions occurring.\nSarcoidosis frequently causes an elevation of calcium levels in both the blood and urine. Sarcoid lesions are also known to cause elevated levels of circulating vitamin D, which may be seasonal. Consequently, conditions of both hypoparathyroidism and hyperparathyroidism may occur due to imbalances in calcium metabolism.\nIn sarcoidosis, the white blood cell count may be low and on occasion the uric acid level and the blood and urine calcium levels may be elevated. Sarcoid granulomas present in the thyroid gland seen on imaging tests may be mistakenly identified as thyroid neoplasms especially when they’re identified as cold nodules.\nProptosis, orbital swelling and other symptoms resembling thyroid eye disease may occur as a result of systemic sarcoidosis affecting the eye rather than as a complication of sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland.\nIn patients with sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland occurring in patients with hyperthyroidism, resistance to anti-thyroid drugs and irradiation is common. Patients with hyperthyroidism who show a poor response to these treatments should be evaluated for thyroid sarcoidosis. In cases where thyroidectomy surgery was used to treat hyperthyroidism resistant to other treatments, sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland has been reported as an incidental finding.\nCorticosteroids are used to reduce symptoms in sarcoidosis of the thyroid gland although symptoms generally resume when corticosteroid treatment is stopped, making surgical removal a better option.\n© 2 Jun 2007 Copyrighted by Elaine Moore\nN.

As the Grenfell Mission's principal physician for over twenty-five years, Dr Paddon travelled extensively throughout Labrador by both dog team and boat. Through his journals he fashions a portrait of Labrador society in accord with the traditional rhythms of trapping and fishing, as it was before the onset of industrial development.

So if you’re only seeing a few ants inside your home, it’s an indication of thousands more nearby. And if you’re supplying them with a steady food and water source, it’s likely you’ll soon have an ant invasion.\nSince different types of ants require different treatment methods, you’ll first need to identify your specific ant issue. Here are 4 common ants you’ll see in and around your home, and tips on how to get rid of them:\n1. Argentine Ants\nSometimes called a sugar ant, argentine ants are one of the most commonly found ant species inside homes throughout southern states. They’re tiny, as small as 1/8 of an inch, and vary from shiny brown to black in color. While they prefer sweet foods, they will eat almost anything. Argentine ants can easily squeeze through small cracks and holes, and set up quarters in the ground, in concrete walls, in between boards and timbers, or among belongings in your home, and are often seen in higher numbers during dry or hot weather or after heavy rainfall.\nBecause argentine ants exhibit very strong trailing behavior, exist in large groups, and move quickly, an infestation occurs quickly and can be hard to control. Using spray pesticides can often make the problem worse since this can stimulates egg-laying by the queens in the colony. Instead, it’s best to thoroughly inspect your home to find ant entry points and use sweet baits that the ants will feed on and take back to their colony. This method can take time to eliminate the entire colony, but will ensure that you’re attacking the problem at its source.\n2. Odorous House Ants walking on stone walkway\nAs the name suggests, odorous house ants produce a strong smell when crushed, similar to rotten coconuts, and nest in and around homes. They’re dark-colored and about 1/8 of an inch or smaller. Odorous house ants exist in large numbers when there’s a nearby water source and are one of the hardest ants to get rid of once an infestation is established.\nTreatment of odorous house ants can vary but usually include a variety of applications – including granular baits around the perimeter of your home, gel baits inside and in exterior stations, and perimeter sprays with non-repellent products.\n3. Fire Ants\nFire ants are one of the easiest ants to identify because of their reddish-brown color and by the distinct dirt mounds they build. They’re also one of the most aggressive ant species and cause painful bites when they attack. Fire ants prefer to build mounds (nests) in open areas including yards, fields, and roadsides.\nFire ants are a common problem for homeowners for many reasons: they pose a threat especially to pets and small children who are likely to be bitten if they come in contact with fire ants, they build unsightly, damaging mounds in your yard, and can cause severe reactions to those who are allergic. Granular baits work well to treat fire ants and can even eliminate entire colonies within 72 hours with a fire ant control service.\n4. Carpenter Ants\nThe various species of carpenter ants are the largest domestic species of ants. They’re larger than sugar ants and odorous house ants – usually 1/4 to 1 inch in size – and black. They’re also different from other ants as they cause structural damage. They like to nest inside the wood your home is constructed of, usually near a source of moisture. They’re nocturnal so you’re most likely to see them in the evenings or at night during summer months, when they leave their nest in search of food and water.\nTo prevent carpenter ants, eliminate sources of food and moisture, including repairs to any areas around your home where there’s evidence of water damage. Granular baits applied around the perimeter of the house and within the landscape work well to eliminate carpenter ants, in addition to gel baits applied along known trails, and perimeter treatments with non-repellent products.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Ants, Utility Function and The Shan Rebellion\n“Ants are social insects that have these amazing societies that are similar to us,” said Dr Yek Sze Huei from the School of Science during her presentation titled ‘Lessons from the Ants Society’. To reasons unknown, the male ants (drones) will die after copulating with the to-be queen ants, who will then build their colonies. A queen will continue to lay eggs for the rest of her life without mating.\nThe worker ants are all females and daughters of the queen. So why are ants the most invasive species in the world? It is because they have evolved and have a ‘replacement-queen’ strategy. If a queen dies, a worker will take over and start reproducing. Ants interact with plants and most plants have co-diversified with them. “Whenever you see a plant, you will find ants,” she stated.\nWhile ants have been typically thought of as insects that hoard food, Dr Yek referred to some of them as farmer ants. Contrary to what we may believe, leafcutter ants do not eat the leaves that they cut - they harvest plant material for their fungi farm to grow so that they can eat the fungi.\nSpeaking on the improbable of Cobb-Douglas (CD) utility function, Associate Professor Dr Poon Wai Ching from the School of Business stated that it has been widely used in the discussions of the theory of consumer choice. CD utility function is one of the most commonly used specific forms of the utility function in economics to study how people make a choice.\n“A consumer’s total utility (TU) function is derived from the consumer preference ranking over various bundles of goods. In reality, consumers make their decisions based on their preferences, and do not normally apply the rule of max TU before making any decision,” Dr Poon shared.\nIn conclusion, she stated a consumer can infer not only the preference ordering but also the relative strengths of the preferences in making decision choices. In a choice-based approach, people hardly bother to consider maximising a given TU function of various bundles of goods.\nSaving the best for last, Professor Andrew Walker, President and Pro Vice-Chancellor of Monash Malaysia, reminded everyone of the hit TV show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, when he decided to rap for 6 minutes and 40 seconds during his presentation. The educational and lively rap was about The Shan Rebellion in Siam (1902 -1904): “They staged a rebellion and killed some Siamese. It’s a truly first great story, so pay attention please.”\nIn 1902, the Siamese and Shans were caught in the middle of the British-French rivalry over North Siam. Siamese officials stopped the Shans from trading and taxed them, making life difficult for them.

This could cause joint deterioration, nerve compression or muscular pain. Massage relaxes and realigns muscles causing release of muscular tension, allowing bones to settle back into correct alignment.\nOver or underactivity of muscles disturbs chemical balance within them. When muscles are tight, restricted or carrying excessive tension they may compress their own blood supply which slows down the process of metabolic waste removal. Massage helps to loosen up stagnated metabolic toxic products as well as helps to remove them into the venous system which prevents soreness and allows nutrients to rebuild and strengthen the tissue. Massage reduces muscular tension by stretching and loosening connective tissue and muscles allowing an increase of circulation and nutrition supply to the muscles thereby improving flexibility. Massage relieves muscular stiffness, fatigue, can maintain muscle tone through reflex effect on motor nerves. Massage can help to maintain the muscles in the best possible state of nutrition, flexibility and vitality so they can function at their maximum.\nCirculatory & Lymphatic System\nMassage increases circulation by assisting venous blood flow return to the heart and allows arterial circulation to carry oxygenate blood throughout the body. It improves flow of nutrients to all parts of the body and acts as a cleanser to eliminate toxins and waste product. Massage can encourage lymphatic flow preventing edema that often occurs with inactivity following inflammatory conditions.\nDepending on the technique and rate used, massage can be sedating or stimulating. It stimulates nerves that effect internal processes (secretion, digestion, peristolsis). Massage has a calming effect in case of nervous exhaustion, emotional upset, panic, fear or anxiety. Relieves pain and spasm by soothing the excited nerve endings, producing relaxation. Can break the cycle of pain and spasm by interrupting the transmission of pain impulses.\nSpecific percussive techniques used during treatment can loosen and dislodge mucus from the bronchi, promoting drainage of secretions from the lungs and stimulating cough reflex. Massage is beneficial in treatment of conditions such as emphysema, asthma, pneumonia and helps to achieve efficient breathing patterns\nAlthough massage is used to treat sport injuries, it is perhaps even more important as a preventative measure. It helps to achieve greater endurance and relaxation. Massage also helps to create balance and efficient movement that promotes speed, power and endurance. Pre and post event massage helps athletes to increase performance skills and prevent injuries.\nSoft Tissue Injury\nassage can greatly reduce the development of muscular pain if done early enough following traumas or injuries. Massage aids the healing process of soft tissues by loosening or breaking down adhesions and fibrous thickenings between structures allowing collagen fibres to be lied down in their proper direction. Massage helps to eliminate excessive accumulation of fluids in tissue.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Pex is a flexible plastic tubing developed in the late 1960s for water piping. Available in Europe for years, it was first brought to the United States in the 1980s. Pex is easier to install than copper pipe, withstands extremes in temperature and is resistant to chemicals used in today's plumbing environment. Designed for long pipe runs with few fittings, it's durable. Pex has its problems, however, and those should be understood when considering the piping.\n- One major problem with Pex pipe is that it's not suitable for use outside. It is strictly designed for indoor and underground use as water piping. It's resistant to freezing temperatures but will not resist a direct and hard freeze. It's also not good for Pex to be exposed to direct sunlight outside for long periods as it will break down the material's strength and lead to full failure.\n- One annoying and damaging problem with Pex piping is its apparent attractiveness to mice and rats. These rodents are known to chew on Pex pipe, sometimes breaking through completely and causing water leaks. Possible reasons for this include that they are attracted to the bright colors, that they like the taste of the plastic and that they hear the sound of the water and chew to try to get a drink.\n- Pex pipe is known to occasionally aid in the development of some bacteria-forming biofilms when used with non-chlorinated water systems. This is most possible in areas of infrequent use, where the water is able to sit undisturbed in the pipe for long periods before use. Chlorinated water supplies don't have this problem, but for non-chlorinated supplies, the pipe system should be sterilized once per year.\n- One of Pex's greatest strengths is also sometimes a problem. Because Pex water lines are often one long, continuous span of pipe, if repair is necessary it can make it more difficult than with copper pipe. Pex fittings are more expensive than standard pipe fittings and so replacing a bad section of pipe may be more costly than expected. Pex pipe fittings also require special tools that are also quite expensive to purchase.\n- Pex's flexibility, savings on installation and reliability is its main hallmark. Overall, Pex is a solid alternative to traditional copper pipe. The problems associated with Pex are mostly minor or are easy to correct and avoid. As long as these problems are understood and watched for, Pex will do the job of providing a quality potable home water supply well.\nImage by Flickr.com, courtesy of Peter Dutton\nPosted by Don Squire - Hawken Energy Outdoor Wood Furnaces", "label": "No"} {"text": "The chemical make up of saturated fats is in such a way that the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms. Their constitution is such that they remain solid in room temperature. Health associations recommend that in our daily diet saturated fats should contain only less than seven per cent of the total calories. This means that if our daily need of calories come to 2000, only 140 in it should be contributed by saturated fats.\nThe main suppliers of saturated fats include animal products such as cheese, red meat, ice cream and butter. Coconut oil, cocoa butter, palm oil and palm kernel oil are the plant-based providers of saturated fats. It is hard to avoid the plant-based fat content from our diet since it is present in many of our favourite choices. For example, cocoa butter is a main ingredient of chocolate. Coconut oil and palm oil make their presence known in cookies, non-diary cake toppings and coffee creamers.\nThe easiest way to reduce the consumption of saturated fat in our diet is to substitute full-fat versions of milk and diary products with low–fat or even fat-free food materials. Stripping the poultry of their skin reduces fat to a huge extent. Opting fish instead of meat is also another healthy step. If coconut and palm oils can be substituted with olive and such other liquid vegetable oils, saturated fat content can be considerably reduced.

With modifications, the respirators can offer the same level of source control as FFRs without exhalation valves.\nCompared with other workers and the general public, healthcare workers have faced a greater risk and a longer duration of exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare workers have used FFRs extensively, when available, during the pandemic.\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had questions about the effectiveness of FFRs with exhalation valves for source control, such as whether such respirators protect others from the wearers’ respiratory emissions.\nNIOSH confirmed that approved FFRs like N95 respirators protect the wearer, filtering particle penetration to less than 5%. The report, “Filtering Facepiece Respirators with an Exhalation Valve: Measurements of Filtration Efficiency to Evaluate Their Potential for Source Control” (NIOSH Publication No. 2021-107), also confirmed that an FFR with an exhalation valve provided the same source control as commonly used measures like surgical masks, procedure masks, and cloth face coverings.\nNIOSH researchers determined that modifications to FFRs with exhalation valves can further reduce particle emissions. Using an electrocardiogram (ECG) pad or surgical tape over the valve from the inside of the FFR can provide a source control similar to that of an FFR with no exhalation valve.\nExhalation valves are designed to increase the wearer’s comfort at high work rates and during longer periods of use. The exhalation valve closes during inhalation, only allowing inhaled breath to be pulled through the respirator’s filter media, and the valve opens in order to allow exhaled breath to be expelled from the respirator through the exhalation valve, as well as the filter media. Such models provide the wearer with a level of protection similar to that of an FFR without an exhalation valve.\nRespiratory secretions expelled by wearers may exit along with air through the exhalation valve. NIOSH researchers set out to address concerns that FFRs with an exhalation valve could spread disease if unfiltered, virus-laden aerosols passed through the valve.\nCurrent CDC guidance does not recommend using an FFR with an exhalation valve for source control. The CDC advises that if FFRs with exhalation valves are the only options available and source control is necessary, then the valves should be covered with a surgical mask, procedure mask, or cloth face covering that does not interfere with the respirator fit.\nNIOSH’s National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory developed a study with three goals:\n- Measure the filtration efficiency provided by FFRs with an exhalation valve both under conditions of inward airflow (inhalation) and outward airflow (exhalation).\n- Evaluate how particle penetration in FFRs with an exhalation valve compares with particle penetration in surgical masks, procedure masks, cloth face coverings, and fabric from cotton t-shirts.\n- Determine the filtration efficiency of three modifications to the exhalation valve in FFRs, with the goal of mitigating the emissions of unfiltered particles.\nModifications examined by researchers included covering the valve on the interior of the FFR with commonly available surgical tape, covering it with an ECG pad, and stretching a surgical mask over the outside of the FFR. Covering an FFR with a surgical mask was not the most effective modification. Covering the interior of the valve with either an ECG pad or surgical tape reduced particle emissions to 5%.\nThe researchers performed a total of 1,125 tests, examining 13 FFR models with exhalation valves. The study produced the first measurements of outward particle penetration through FFRs with an exhalation valve, which have important implications for guidance on source control and disease mitigation.\nPatient Safety & Quality Healthcare’s mission is to provide news, science, research, and a forum for opinion for clinicians, healthcare professionals, and everyone interested in improving quality in healthcare.

The ideal fish should be friendly to one another, cheaply fed, and able to go the occasional day without feeding, in case your child (and you) forgets to feed them.\nThe following fish are all hardy fish that are likely to live as you cycle your new tank.\nThey are also live bearing fish, which means they do not lay eggs but instead bear live babies. Fish are terrible parents for the most part, so these fish will also eat their babies if they are not removed to a safe tank, or a safe part of the tank.\nAll of these fish are also vegetable eaters, which means that they will eat the cheap and simple flakes available at almost any pet food or big box store. The fish should be purchased in groups of three, or five or more, as they prefer to school in odd numbers and also should be purchased in groups of two to three females to every male fish.\nMollies. Mollies are very friendly fish who grow to 2-4 inches in size. They love to swim together and upon maturity will school to the top of the tank to greet their feeder at feeding time.\nMollies come in several different varieties, from regular mollies which come in colors ranging from black and white to yellow to orange, to sailfin mollies which sport a large fin on top of their bodies. Balloon mollies are another type you might consider, although the distinctive \"balloon\" shape is considered a birth defect and this type does not live as long as the other mollies, generally.\nMollies are prolific breeders, the females giving birth about every 6 weeks if there is a male in the tank. If there is no male, a female molly may give birth up to six times after contact with a male, as she can store the necessary materials for many weeks.\nPlatys. Platys are smaller than mollies, growing to 2-2.5 inches by adulthood. They are a shyer fish than mollies, preferring to school and enjoy the tank rather than to interact with their caretaker. They are extremely hardy and can take a variety of tank conditions, but also prefer to school in groups of three or more.\nPlatys come in many colors, from gold to yellow to a grayish-blue. There is also a variety called the \"Mickey Mouse\" platy, which sports the easily-recognized ears and head of its namesake on its tail.\nThis variety of fish may enjoy some personal time. If you place a castle in your tank, you may find a platy hanging out by itself for some time. Don't worry - it's okay!\nGuppies. Guppies are perhaps the most prolific live breeders of all - in fact, the pet stores near me keep the males and females in separate tanks!\nThe females are lovely, in gold and yellow and even reddish colors, but the males are far more beautiful. Many sport big flamboyant tails and come in brilliant primary colors.\nGuppies prefer to school in odd numbered groups, and they will also school with platys of the same size. They are a little less shy than platys, but not nearly as forward as mollies!\nWhatever fish you choose for your child's fish tank, make sure it is an enjoyable learning experience for them.

They decided to attack here, because on the Eastern and Western fronts, the trench-warfare in these areas has resulted in a stalemate. This meant a ‘quick victory’ which the allies had hoped for, had been halted. They now needed another alternative, to attack the Germans.\nThe new ‘war council’, which was set up to achieve new alternatives, decided to attack through the Dardanelles, to capture Constantinople, and to knock Turkey out of the war. The decided to do this, as if Turkey were knocked out, neighbouring countries like Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania, would join the allies. At the time, it was thought that these three countries would be joining the Central Powers.On the 28th January 1915, the war council decided on an attack on the Dardanelles, using naval ships. However, on the 16th February, they decided also on providing soldiers from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC’s), to assist the Navy, on the ground attack. They decided to use the ANZAC’s, because Lord Kitchener refused to release the 29th division, as he thought they would be needed on the Western Front.\nOn February 19th, 1915, at 8:00am, the attack began.The attack through the Dardanelles on Galipoli, however, not a success. There were many reasons for this failure. The first was the plan was not thought-out very well at all. The first factor falling under this category is that they attacked in the early morning, in the daylight. This meant the Turkish troops were at their strongest, and they could see the British landing on the beaches.\nAlso, the beach that they landed on, was surrounded by steep hills and mountains, which the British and ANZAC’s had to climb up. These hills were also the perfect position for Turkish snipers to position themselves, and look down on the beach:”The landing place was a difficult one… backed by a very high mass of hills.\n.. being exceedingly steep..\n. it is a stiff climb even up the zigzag path…”Capt. Guy DowneyAlso, when the British landed on the beaches, they stopped for a rest, rather than ‘pressing on’ to reach the Turks on the front line:”While their senior officers strolled about through the scrub inspecting the position the men sat down to smoke and brew themselves a cup of morning tea.\n..”Alan MooreheadWhen the British troops managed to reach the front line at the top of the hill, they did not dig themselves in. This cost the lives of 700 men, by dawn. The Navy then withdrew the rest of the men.With the situation of the hill being the perfect spot for Turkish snipers to sit and look down onto the beach, this is exactly what they did.\nThe Turkish fired on the British, from the exact moment from when the departed the landing boats:”Many were killed in the water, many, who were wounded, were swept away and drowned; others, trying to swim in the fierce current, were drowned by the weight of the equipment.”John MaesfieldAlso, due to how the trenches were positioned, and the great torrents of rain that followed, the trenches themselves, flooded with horrifying consequences:”…In one trench when the flood rose, a pony, a mule, a pig, and two dead Turks were washed over the barricade together..\n.”John MaesfieldThe second reason for the failure of the Dardanelles campaign, was bad organisation. The first factor why this meant failure for the campaign was of the campaign was that the officers did not synchronise their watches. This meant that when the troops landed (on the wrong beach) that the Navy (who were meant to bomb the Turkish defences from the sea), were not taken out, and so the troops got fired upon, whilst they were still debarking from the ships, in the water.\nThe third reason for the failure of the Dardanelles, was poor command. The first factor why this was a failure was poor knowledge of far the enemy had advanced:”General Hamilton’s only intelligence consisted of a 1912 manual on the Turkish army, some old (and inaccurate) maps, a tourist guide book, and what little could be gleaned from the Turkish desk at the foreign office.”Michael HickeyAlso, no orders had been sent to X beach, for the troops to link back up with those of Y and S, at the top of the hill. With all of this confusion, officers lost command of their troops, due to how mixed up they got:”They had no orders to link up with the forces on Y beach or S beach.\n“Alan MooreheadOn the second attack, a new leader was appointed to take command of the troops. The man appointed for this task, was a Sir Frederick Stopford. He was seen as an incompetent old fool who had no idea of what he was doing:”…\nAn elderly and decaying general who had never commanded troops in war…”Stopford stayed upon his hip, whilst the troops under his command made their way to the front line.\nHe then gave no further orders, until four days after the attack had begun.The fourth and final reason for the failure in the Dardanelles, was that inadequate force and supplies had been sent to Galipoli, form Britain. The small (or lack of) rations, also lead to sickness among the troops. With bad weather, and poor medical supplies, the situation got worse:”At dark the sleet increased, the mud froze, and there our men lay, most of them without overcoats, and many of them without food..\n.”John MaesfieldAlso, lack of water was another major problem. As the troops were so far away from fresh water, pipes had to be run into trench, for the troops to drink out of. Shrapnel, enemy troops, and allied troops that had gone ‘mad’ pierced the supply hoses:”Several men went raving mad from thirst, others assaulted the water guards, pierced the supply hoses, or swam to the lighters to beg for water.\n..”With all of this confusion and exhaustion led to the allied forces advancing in any way, towards the Turks.In conclusion, I do not think that any one factor was to blame for the failure of the campaign, it was a mixture of all of the factors.\nHowever, I do believe that the ill thought out plan and poor organisation was probably the main factors to blame, if I had to choose one. I think this because, these two are basically linked, and so they have the most factors to consider.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Writing in plain language\nWriting in plain language is an important part of communicating your message to a community group.

Thanks for writing to Dr. Math. Excellent question! If I interpret your question literally, then my answer is this: fractals are geometric objects in the same way that lines and triangles and spheres and ellipses are geometric objects. Each of these geometric figures possesses certain properties that make them useful or interesting for one reason or another. For example, the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Or, the sphere gives the maximum volume enclosed for a given surface area. The special property of fractals is that they are each \"self-similar\" in some way: What is a Fractal? http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/54525.html However, you may be more likely to encounter fractals from other branches of mathematics, just as you may encounter circles in branches of mathematics other than geometry (for example, you might use circles when you work with imaginary numbers in complex analysis, or if you use the unit circle in trigonometry). Some of the branches of mathematics that give rise to fractal objects are the following: differential equations and dynamical systems theory (e.g. \"strange attractors\"), measure theory (Cantor set), and complex analysis (Mandelbrot set).

The day was about being our most authentic self, by being real and sharing about who we really are. We walk around each day showing people 10% of who we are, but what would happen if we dropped that 10% image and showed people the real us? The day was all about showing others who we truly are, where we really come from, what makes us the person we are today. We did this by forming small family groups and completing an activity called if you really knew me. This was an opportunity to share life experiences that have influenced the person we are today. It gave us the chance to heal, share deep emotional stories that we rarely share with others, and help others understand what makes us the person we are. This was an extremely powerful activity that showed me everyone has a story and you never know what a person has survived to get them to where they are at today. The day taught me that you can’t judge a person by one glance, there is so much more to a person than appearance. In the afternoon we did an activity called cross the line. The Challenge Day leaders announced different scenarios that you may have experienced, and if it was true for you, you crossed the line. Some examples were; have you ever been judged on your appearance, have you ever been in foster care, do you have a family member with a physical or mental disability, did you grow up in a single parent home, has one or both of your parents passed away, etc. This activity really built connection among students and adult volunteers. There is so much power in seeing that someone you know has experienced similar challenges in life. Of all the scenarios that were listed, there was never a time a student crossed the line by themselves, there was always someone else who has experienced that same scenario. Overall, the day was very powerful and impactful. It showed me that you never know what a person has experienced and there is power in showing compassion and love for others.” ~ Dakota Londo\n“I went into Challenge Day with an open mind, as these type of events are usually uncomfortable for me.

She may have been born at the upper Mohawk castle of Canajoharie (near Little Falls, N.Y.), her family’s home; or, like her younger brother Joseph [Thayendanegea*], she may have been born while her parents were living in the Ohio region. John Norton* in his Journal states that Joseph was born at Cayahoga (near Akron, Ohio) and was “descended from Wyandot prisoners adopted by the Mohawks on both the father and the mother’s side.” William Allen, who had interviewed Joseph Brant’s son Joseph, stated, perhaps on the son’s authority, that Brant’s father was an Onondaga chief. This assertion would not negate Norton’s claim that the Brants were of Wyandot ancestry and Mohawk nationality since, in the matrilineal Iroquois society, children took the nationality of their mother. Some authorities claim that the father of Mary and Joseph was a respected sachem. According to Norton, he was “a great Warrior” who died when the children were young. The mother then took Mary and Joseph with her to Canajoharie shortly before the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War. Eleazar Wheelock, at whose mission school in Connecticut Joseph Brant once studied, said that the Brants were “a Family of Distinction” among the Mohawks.\nThere was a persistent tradition in the Mohawk valley among both whites and Indians that Mary and Joseph Brant were descended from King Hendrick [Theyanoguin*]. The 19th-century historian and archivist Lyman Copeland Draper, who did painstaking research on the Brant genealogy, found confirmation of such a relationship. A Mohawk woman named Katy Moses, aged 77 in 1879 and “distantly related to Brant’s last wife,” stated that “she learned many years ago from aged Mohawks, that Brant’s mother was a daughter of Old King Hendrick.” Joseph Brant’s granddaughter Charlotte told Draper that Joseph’s mother was a granddaughter of Hendrick.\nMary, or Molly as she was generally known, possibly attended one of the Church of England mission schools in the Mohawk valley. Her later letters, if authentically from her own hand, show that she was mistress of a fine penmanship and a proper English style. There is some evidence, however, that she was only semi-literate and that the letters were dictated to an amanuensis.\nShe evidently accompanied the delegation of 12 Mohawk principal men who, under the leadership of Hendrick, went to Philadelphia in the winter of 1754–55 to discuss with Pennsylvania officials the fraudulent sale of lands in the Wyoming valley to a group of Connecticut speculators [see John Hendricks Lÿdius]. Christian Daniel Claus, who had accompanied the delegation, stated that at Albany on the return trip an English captain “fell in Love wth. Ms. Mary Brant who was then pretty likely not havg. had the small pox.”\nAccording to a Mohawk valley tradition, Molly first attracted Sir William Johnson’s attention at a militia muster, when she leaped upon the back of a horse behind an officer and hung on to him as the horse dashed about the field, much to the amusement of the spectators. Their first child, Peter Warren Johnson, was born in 1759, the same year that Johnson’s wife Catherine Weissenberg died. Molly and Sir William had seven more children who survived infancy. Although Johnson referred to her in his will as his “prudent & faithfull Housekeeper” and to the children as his natural children, there is a persistent tradition that they were married according to Indian ceremony, which was not recognized as legal for members of the white community. Johnson treated her with every respect, furnished her and the children with every comfort and luxury befitting an upper class family, and provided generously for them in his will. He also permitted the children to bear his surname. The eldest, named in honour of Johnson’s uncle, Sir Peter Warren*, probably received his early education in the Mohawk valley but in 1772 was sent to Montreal for further schooling. In 1773 Johnson sent him to Philadelphia, where he was apprenticed to a dry-goods merchant. Indicative of his genteel upbringing were his requests to his father for a watch so that he might be on time for dinner appointments and for work, some French and English books to read at leisure, a Mohawk book so that he would not forget his Indian tongue, and help in securing a violin. Of his mother, he requested some Indian curiosities to show his Philadelphia friends. His letters indicate a close and affectionate relationship between Johnson, his Mohawk consort, and their children.\nMary Brant presided over Johnson’s household with intelligence, ability, grace, and charm, and she effectively managed the estate during Johnson’s many and prolonged absences. A contemporary author described her as a “daughter to a sachem, who possessed an uncommonly agreeable person, and good understanding.” Because of her important family connections among the Iroquois, she was also of inestimable value to Sir William during his negotiations with the Indians.\nAfter Sir William’s death in 1774, she and her children moved to Canajoharie, for the Johnson Hall estate had passed into the hands of John Johnson*, Sir William’s white son. At Canajoharie she was highly respected both as the relict of Sir William and as a woman of quality in her own right. She maintained a comfortable existence in a well-furnished house and dressed in Indian style, but in the finest cloth. In his will Sir William had left her a lot in the Kingsland Patent (in present-day Herkimer County), a black female slave, and £200, New York currency. With her legacy she opened a store among the Indians, where she traded chiefly in rum.\nUpon the outbreak of hostilities between Great Britain and the colonies, the Brants became staunch loyalists. Early in the conflict Mary Brant did all in her power to feed and assist those loyalists who had taken refuge in the woods, and she also sent ammunition to supporters of the king. In August 1777 she performed one of her most noteworthy achievements when she dispatched Indian runners to inform Barrimore Matthew St Leger’s forces, then besieging Fort Stanwix (Rome, N.Y.), of the approach of a large body of American militia. This timely warning resulted in the successful ambush of the Americans by the Indians and loyalists at nearby Oriskany.\nAfter the battle the Oriska Indians, a part of the Oneida nation who had supported the Americans in the campaign, revenged themselves upon the Mohawks, and particularly upon Mary Brant, by attacking and despoiling both Canajoharie and Fort Hunter, N.Y., the lower Mohawk castle. Mary Brant and her family, who had lost most of their possessions in the attack, took refuge at Onondaga (near Syracuse), the capital of the Six Nations Confederacy, where she submitted her grievances to the confederacy council and was promised satisfaction.\nShe then moved to Cayuga (south of present Cayuga, N.Y.), where she had distant relatives; and during the months of discouragement after the Stanwix campaign, when the Indians pondered their losses and wavered in their support of the king, she rendered invaluable service by encouraging and steadying them in their alliance. In one important council she even publicly rebuked the venerable Kaieñˀkwaahtoñ, leading war chief of the confederacy, for counselling peace with the Americans. Her entreaties won over the whole council. Daniel Claus correctly assessed her influence with the Iroquois: “one word from her goes farther with them than a thousand from any white Man without Exception who in general must purchase their Interest at a high rate.”\nSoon afterwards Major John Butler prevailed upon Mary Brant to come to live at Niagara (near Youngstown, N.Y.), a major military base where she could be of much use to the British by advising and interceding with the Indians. As head of a society of Six Nations matrons, which was particularly influential among the young warriors, she was highly esteemed in the confederacy. She arrived at Fort Niagara in the late fall of 1777 and for the next several months was of inestimable assistance there as a diplomat and stateswoman. She was consulted by the Indians on all issues of importance and often cautioned them against making unwise proposals to the commander of the fort.\nIn July 1779, at the suggestion of the commander, who found his facilities at the fort strained, she reluctantly left her elderly mother behind and went with her family to Montreal, where she placed two of her daughters in a boarding school. In the autumn of 1779, when she heard of the destruction being wrought in Iroquois country by the forces of the Sullivan-Clinton expedition [see Kaieñˀkwaahtoñ], she hastened to return to Niagara to be of what assistance she could. But she never reached Niagara, for she agreed instead to remain at Carleton Island, N.Y., where there was a large Six Nations settlement and where she was able to assuage the disgruntled and resentful Indians during the discouraging winter of 1779–80. The commander, Alexander Fraser, highly praised her leadership during those months, affirming that the Indians’ “uncommon good behaviour is in a great Measure to be ascribed to Miss Molly Brants Influence over them, which is far superior to that of all their Chiefs put together.” A woman of spirit and sometimes of temper, she remained fiercely loyal to her family and to the memory of Sir William and bitter towards the American rebels, who had driven her and her people from their homeland.\nIn 1783, at the end of the war, she moved to Cataraqui (Kingston, Ont.), where Haldimand ordered a house to be built for her. She lived the remainder of her life at Kingston, highly respected by her neighbours. In 1783 also, Haldimand set her pension at £100 annually, the highest paid to an Indian. In addition she received compensation from the British government for her losses during the war. She made a trip back to the Mohawk valley in 1785 and visited Schenectady, where the Americans attempted to persuade her to return with her family. Several years later she was offered financial compensation by the Americans for her confiscated lands if she and her children would return and settle, which offer she “rejected with the utmost contempt.”\nLittle is known of her later years, though reports of travellers afford the occasional glimpse. On 13 Sept. 1794 Mrs John Graves Simcoe [Elizabeth Posthuma Gwillim*] permitted Mary Brant, who was ill, to travel with her aboard the Mississauga from Niagara to Kingston. “She speaks English well,” noted Mrs Simcoe in her Diary, “and is a civil and very sensible old woman.” In April of the following year Mary Brant successfully prescribed a favourite Indian remedy, the root of sweet flag (acorus calamus), for Governor Simcoe*, who had been extremely ill with a persistent cough. The medicine relieved his malady “in a very short time.”\nMary Brant remained a devout Anglican, regularly attending services at St George’s in Kingston, where she “sat in an honourable place among the English.” She died on 16 April 1796 and was buried in the cemetery (now St Paul’s churchyard) in a ceremony conducted by the pastor John Stuart*, who had once been missionary to the Mohawks at Fort Hunter. All her daughters, save one who remained single, married white men of distinction in Upper Canada. Her son George Johnson, known among the Indians as Big George, farmed and taught a day school not far from Brantford for many years. Peter died in 1777 in Philadelphia while serving with the 26th Foot.\nA woman of high intelligence and remarkable ability who was at ease in two cultures, Mary Brant personified the dignity and influence accorded to respected mothers among the Iroquois people. In a society in which the mothers chose the sachems and influenced the warriors, Mary Brant played a unique role. Her descent from a high ranking Indian family, her liaison with Sir William Johnson, and her own talents enabled her to wield great power at a critical moment. This power she exerted at much personal cost in a cause which she believed just. Her loyalty to her own family, to her people, and to the traditional Iroquois alliance with the crown was steadfast and enduring. The military officials who had most to do with Indian affairs during the American revolution recognized how essential her leadership was in maintaining the morale and loyalty of the Iroquois. History has subsequently been less than kind to her in often overlooking her achievements. Unquestionably she was one of the most devoted United Empire Loyalists.\nBL, Add. mss 21661–892 (transcripts at PAC).

The curriculum we use to support our reading program has been among the top 3 reading curriculum in the nation for the past 30 years. The result is students that are consistently reading grade levels above their peers when they enter grade school.\nWe are proud of our reading program and the success our students see in:\n- Decoding words through phonetics. By teaching our students the structure and sounds of words, we’re empowering them with information to identify words they never read before.\n- Understanding and identifying sight words. The English language is complex (and so is every student. We’ve strategically paired phonetics with understanding and identifying important sight words. This helps maximize learning for each student regardless of learning style. It also supports literacy in words that can’t be decoded through phonetics, and increases reading ease and comfort.\n- Most importantly, we take pride in our students’ reading comprehension. Not only are our students strong (and early) readers; our students also comprehend and enjoy the materials they’re reading. They’re interested in the books they read and are developing a genuine interest in reading. This integral (yet often overlooked) skill is one of the most important lifelong skills our children can learn for academic and professional success.\nWhile reading in school is foundational to the Kids Village educational philosophy, reading at home encourages a lifelong mindset of reading.\nHere are 9 tips for encouraging reading at home:\nRead to your child\nOne of the most important things you can do to encourage your child to read to your child every day. Even as your children get older, making reading part of your daily routine will encourage a culture of reading in your family.\nAs a parent, it’s your responsibility to make this experience fun. Let your children pick books they enjoy. Use your storytelling skills (and character voices) to keep your child engaged. Fun voices and storytelling will aslo help younger children follow the story better. Remember, if you’re bored or seem bored, your child will pick up on it.\nCreate fun games\nPlay fun games with your child to help with sight words, phonics words, or spelling. Try a word scavenger hunt or a sight word game. Take turns reading poems in silly voices or find and follow a recipe together.\nHave a wide variety of books available in your home\nYour child should see books in their home multiple times a day every day. There should always book nearby so your child can have the opportunity to read if he or she wants to. Stock your library with age-appropriate books about your child’s interests, favorite characters, and favorite types of stories. Does your child love stories about other children, fantasy or science fiction? Books about talking animals? Any story with their favorite character?\nKeep books or other reading materials intentionally within reach\n“I like to put a National Geographic kids magazine or two at the kitchen table and switch it out once or twice a week. I also put joke books on the coffee table in the living room, and keep books of fun or silly facts in the car. I never ask my children if they’ve read them or tell them to read them, but they always seem to naturally pick them up to thumb through and find something fun.” – Kelly Andrew\nMake reading a priority in your home\nWe’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: You are the biggest role model in your child’s life. Let them see you reading every day for at least 15 minutes (and we don’t mean on mobile devices, since children associate those with games and social media). Pick up a book, newspaper, or magazine, and settle in for a few quality minutes of reading.\nIf you are able to convince your child to sit down and read next to you, great! If you can’t, don’t worry about it. Even if they’re not actively participating, simply letting your child catch a glimpse of you reading each day can impact their approach to reading.\nConsider extending bedtime, just for self-reading\n“When I was a child, bedtime just meant it was time to get into our beds and turn on our reading lamps; we were allowed to read as long as we wanted! Sure, sometimes we took advantage of it and read into the wee hours of the morning, but we quickly learned that meant we were tired and groggy the next day, so we rarely stayed up longer than was reasonable. More impactful, we embraced what felt like the autonomy of the freedom to read and consequently read voraciously. We all became lifelong readers and still, to this day, read every night.” – Lisa Hopkins\nExplore reading programs at your local library\nVisit your local library and let your child participate in their children’s reading programs. Most community libraries have reading time sessions that can help you child strengthen their reading skills in a fun, age-appropriate atmosphere.\nEncourage your child to read to a pet\nResearch shows that when children read to a dog, they are less afraid and more engaged in their reading assignments. It gives them the opportunity to read in front of another individual, but without the pressure that is sometimes felt when reading to classmates. It also gives them an opportunity to try out some of the storytelling techniques they emulate from you, in a safe, non-judgmental environment. If you don’t have a pet at home, consider a giving your child a special stuffed animal friend to whom to read.\nDon’t make reading a chore\nAs soon as reading becomes something that is a required, painful part of the day, you’ve lost. Keep reading fun and light. If your child doesn’t seem interested, then it’s time to get creative (not time to crack down)! It doesn’t take very many bad reading experiences before your child begins to develop a distaste for the important skill, and each positive experience not only builds their relationship with you, but also builds their love for reading. Remember to have fun with it, and your child will enjoy reading, too!\nReading is one of the most critical skills your child can learn, but a love of reading is one of the most important passions they can develop! Help your child build their love for reading by making reading a (fun, enjoyable) priority at home.\nYou may also be interested in…", "label": "No"} {"text": "Disagree with your child's career choice?\nWhat to do if you disagree with the career your child has chosen.\nYou want your child to do better\nDo you want your child to have a different career than yours or aim higher?\nBefore you chat to them check if:\n- you are realistic about your child's abilities and strengths\n- you are trying to live your dreams through your child\n- your child lacks the confidence to aim higher.\nWhen you want your child to choose another career\nIf you want your child to have a different career or aim higher you could:\n- explain the negative sides of your job\n- try to set up work experience in your job – your child will see what your job is really like\n- talk to your school's career adviser about setting up work experience in other workplaces\n- talk to your school's dean or counsellor or look online for tips on how to boost your child's confidence.\nYour child doesn't want to be in the family business\nIf you want your child to work in your family business you could:\n- ask them about their reasons for not wanting to work there and listen carefully without responding\n- check they understand the variety of roles in your business\n- ask them to do some work experience in your business\n- explain how you started the business and what skills you use to run it\n- explain why it is important to you to have them in the business.\nChances of finding work are poor\nIf you worry that your child's chances of finding work in their chosen career are poor, you could:\n- check our website to see what their chances of finding that type of work really are\n- encourage them to make a plan for getting a job in their chosen career\n- encourage them to talk to people in their industry for work experience, information and networking\n- help them to make another plan if they can't get into their chosen career right away.\nYou question their ability to do the job\nIf you think your child doesn't have the ability or talent for their chosen career you could:\n- talk to your school's dean, counsellor or careers adviser or their form teacher about your concerns\n- make sure you have a good understanding of what their abilities and talents are – could you be mistaken?\n- encourage them to do work experience or take lessons (eg, singing lessons) to test their abilities\n- encourage them to work harder on skills and abilities that will help them in their dream career.\nFind out more\nUpdated 24 Jan 2019", "label": "No"} {"text": "The term “immunocompromised host” describes a patient who is at increased risk for Life-threatening infection as a consequence of a congenital or acquired abnormality of the immune system.\nThis is defined as a human or an animal whose immune response, is weakened as a result of an immunodeficiency disorder, diseases, administration of immunosuppressive drugs or exposure to irradiation.\nGenitourinary tract infections are among the most frequent disorders for which patients seek gynecologic care.

It is an addictive colorless, oily liquid that turns brown with exposure to oxygen or light. It is a naturally occurring toxic, nitrogen based alkaloid chemical akin to and just as potentially dangerous in high doses as morphine strychnine and ephedrine that exists naturally in our world.\nIt is found in several different yet surprisingly common species of plants in the nightshade family, including, all varieties of tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplants. However, it is most notably found in tobacco plants.\nMost people know perhaps the most prominent characteristic are its highly addictive qualities — making smoking tobacco, unfortunately, a very hard habit to break. Noted tobacco researcher, M.A.H. Russell once wrote, “There is little doubt that if it were not for the nicotine in tobacco smoke, people would be little more inclined to smoke than they are to blow bubbles or to light sparklers.”\nThat being said, it is not the nicotine itself that is causing the danger in smoking, it is the 4000 other known carcinogens that exist in the tobacco smoke itself. While it contributes to a significant portion of the addiction, it certainly does not contain cancer causing substances that make cigarettes so fatally dangerous. That is why many who choose to use replacement therapies to help them quit, often administer the nicotine in other ways.\nNicotine affects the central nervous system and It’s actual physical response to the body is similar to that of caffeine. Physical effects of using nicotine can include a raise in heart rate, heart stroke volume and heart oxygen consumption rate. Other effects include increased alertness, euphoria, and a sensation of being relaxed. Users also say it helps to maintain concentration, reduce general anxiety, relieve minor pain, even helping with weight control.\nNicotine is both a sedative and a stimulant. When you are exposed to it in any form, you are likely to experience a little jolt of energy, or kick, partly due to the it’s ability to release adrenaline in your body.\nIndirectly, it also affects you by causing dopamine to be released in the pleasure and motivation areas of the brain. With increased levels of dopamine, many users find higher levels of contentment as a result. It’s use also results in increased levels of beta-endorphin adding to the feeling of happiness. These reasons may be why so many users also report a calming sensation when they use, helping them to control and reduce stress and anxiety.\nNicotine also appears to improve memory and concentration. Experts say that this is a result of an increase in acetylcholine and norepinephrine. Norepinephrine also increases the sensation of being alert. For instance, one study even showed that those with the substance in their system will type about 5% faster than those without.\nMost users find that, as with many altering substances, their tolerance level changes over time. As you have more and more, you may find yourself requiring higher doses just to enjoy the same effects you had when you began using. Even on a smaller scale, most users find that the first cigarette of the day is the best. That is because during the day the more you use, the less effect it has on you, and therefore, the more you need to get the “buzz” you are craving.\nAs many who have quit or attempted to stop smoking know, it is extremely difficult to quit smoking. In part due to the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal that a user can and will most likely experience when they stopped using tobacco altogether.\nPotential symptoms of withdrawal include a headache, nausea, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, anxiety and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms of withdrawal are strong and difficult to deal with, which is why many opt for and find success with some form of replacement therapy when they are trying to quit smoking.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The Resource Identification Initiative has been launched and moved beyond a pilot phase. We invite publishers, editors, authors, biocurators, librarians, resource provides, and vendors to participate.\nAuthors can participate by adding RRIDs to their papers, go to scicrunch.org/resources\nThe Resource Identification Initiative (#RRID) is designed to help researchers sufficiently cite the key resources used to produce the scientific findings reported in the biomedical literature. A diverse group of collaborators are leading the project, including the Neuroscience Information Framework with the support of the National Institutes of Health and the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility.\nResources (e.g. antibodies, model organisms, and software projects) reported in the biomedical literature often lack sufficient detail to enable reproducibility or reuse. For example, catalog numbers for antibody reagents are infrequently reported, and the version numbers for software programs used for data analysis are often omitted. This has been called out as a serious enough problem by the NIH to introduce new guidelines for Rigor and Transparency for almost all awards in starting in May of 2016.\nThese guidelines argue for authentication of key research resources, and transparency of how they are reported.\nThe Resource Identification Initiative aims to enable resource transparency within the biomedical literature through promoting the use of unique Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs). In addition to being unique, RRID’s meet three key criteria, they are:\nThe first step in this project was to test the feasibility of the system for a limited set of resources: antibodies, model organisms (mice, zebrafish, flies) and tools (i.e. software and databases) in the biomedical literature. Authors publishing in participating journals were asked to provide RRID's for their resources. RRID's will be drawn from:\nTo make it easy for authors to find the appropriate RRID's and to format their citations, we have created the Resource Identification Portal, where authors can search across all of sources from a single location.\nIn addition to facilitating reproducibility and reuse, the inclusion of RRID citations in the literature allows resource providers, funders and others to better track usage and impact. Ultimately, we believe that the outcome of the pilot phase showed:\n- The need for better reporting of materials and methods to promote reproducible science. Proper resource identification is a step towards this goal.\n- The need for a cultural shift in the way we write and structure papers. We must recognize the increasing dominant model of interacting with the literature through automated agents; therefore, the conventions we adopt should be tailored towards greater machine-processability.\n- The need for a cultural shift in the way we view the literature. The literature is not only a source of papers for people to read, but a connected set of data: observations and claims in biomedicine that span journals, publishers, and formats. The synthesis of information from the literature and other sources requires universal machine access to key entities.\nThe pilot project was an outcome of a meeting held at the NIH on Jun 26th, 2013. A draft report from the meeting is available. We are working with commercial partners, tools builders and others in the FORCE11 community to provide a set of interfaces that will allow authors to access the data set acquired in various ways that will demonstrate the power of this approach.

These groups, from least dense to most dense, are chylomicrons (aka ULDL by the overall density naming convention), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL delivers fat molecules to cells. LDL is involved in atherosclerosis, a process in which it is oxidized within the walls of arteries.\nLipoproteins transfer lipids (fats) around the body in the extracellular fluid, making fats available to body cells for receptor-mediated endocytosis. Lipoproteins are complex particles composed of multiple proteins, typically 80-100 proteins per particle (organized by a single apolipoprotein B for LDL and the larger particles). A single LDL particle is about 220-275 angstroms in diameter, typically transporting 3,000 to 6,000 fat molecules per particle, and varying in size according to the number and mix of fat molecules contained within. The lipids carried include all fat molecules with cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides dominant; amounts of each varying considerably.\nThe conventional interpretation of cholesterol levels holds that higher levels of LDL particles pose increased risk of cardiovascular disease. LDL particles are thought to invade the endothelium and become oxidized, since the oxidized forms would be more easily retained by the proteoglycans. This view has been challenged as inaccurate and based on flawed research methodology. The issue remains controversial and vigorously contested in the literature.\nEach native LDL particle enables emulsification, i.e. surrounding the fatty acids being carried, enabling these fats to move around the body within the water outside cells. Each particle contains a single apolipoprotein B-100 molecule (Apo B-100, a protein that has 4536 amino acid residues and a mass of 514 kDa), along with 80 to 100 additional ancillary proteins. Each LDL has a highly hydrophobic core consisting of polyunsaturated fatty acid known as linoleate and hundreds to thousands (about 1500 commonly cited as an average) of esterified and unesterified cholesterol molecules. This core also carries varying numbers of triglycerides and other fats and is surrounded by a shell of phospholipids and unesterified cholesterol, as well as the single copy of Apo B-100. LDL particles are approximately 22 nm (0.00000087 in.) to 27.5 nm in diameter and have a mass of about 3 million daltons. Since LDL particles contain a variable and changing number of fatty acid molecules, there is a distribution of LDL particle mass and size. Determining the structure of LDL has been a tough task because of its heterogeneous structure. The structure of LDL at human body temperature in native condition, with a resolution of about 16 Angstroms using cryogenic electron microscopy, has been recently described.\nLDL particles are formed when triglycerides are removed from VLDL by the lipoprotein lipase enzyme (LPL) and they become smaller and denser (i.e. fewer fat molecules with same protein transport shell), containing a higher proportion of cholesterol esters.\nWhen a cell requires additional cholesterol (beyond its current internal HMGCoA production pathway), it synthesizes the necessary LDL receptors as well as PCSK9, a proprotein convertase that marks the LDL receptor for degradation. LDL receptors are inserted into the plasma membrane and diffuse freely until they associate with clathrin-coated pits. When LDL receptors bind LDL particles in the bloodstream, the clathrin-coated pits are endocytosed into the cell.\nVesicles containing LDL receptors bound to LDL are delivered to the endosome. In the presence of low pH, such as that found in the endosome, LDL receptors undergo a conformation change, releasing LDL. LDL is then shipped to the lysosome, where cholesterol esters in the LDL are hydrolysed. LDL receptors are typically returned to the plasma membrane, where they repeat this cycle. If LDL receptors bind to PCSK9, however, transport of LDL receptors is redirected to the lysosome, where they are degraded.\nLDL interfere with the quorum sensing system that upregulates genes required for invasive Staphylococcus aureus infection. The mechanism of antagonism entails binding apolipoprotein B to a S. aureus autoinducer pheromone, preventing signaling through its receptor. Mice deficient in apolipoprotein B are more susceptible to invasive bacterial infection.\nLDL can be grouped based on its size: large low density LDL particles are described as pattern A, and small high density LDL particles are pattern B. Pattern B has been associated by some with a higher risk for coronary heart disease.:1-10 This is thought to be because the smaller particles are more easily able to penetrate the endothelium of arterial walls. Pattern I, for intermediate, indicates that most LDL particles are very close in size to the normal gaps in the endothelium (26 nm). According to one study, sizes 19.0-20.5 nm were designated as pattern B and LDL sizes 20.6-22 nm were designated as pattern A. Other studies have shown no such correlation at all.\nSome evidence suggests the correlation between Pattern B and coronary heart disease is stronger than the correspondence between the LDL number measured in the standard lipid profile test. Tests to measure these LDL subtype patterns have been more expensive and not widely available, so the common lipid profile test is used more often.\nThere has also been noted a correspondence between higher triglyceride levels and higher levels of smaller, denser LDL particles and alternately lower triglyceride levels and higher levels of the larger, less dense (\"buoyant\") LDL.\nWith continued research, decreasing cost, greater availability and wider acceptance of other lipoprotein subclass analysis assay methods, including NMR spectroscopy, research studies have continued to show a stronger correlation between human clinically obvious cardiovascular events and quantitatively measured particle concentrations.\nOxidized LDL is a general term for LDL particles with oxidatively modified structural components. As a result from free radical attack, both lipid and protein parts of LDL can be oxidized in the vascular wall. Besides the oxidative reactions taking place in vascular wall, oxidized lipids in LDL can also be derived from oxidized dietary lipids. Oxidized LDL is known to associate with the development of atherosclerosis, and it is therefore widely studied as a potential risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. Atherogenicity of oxidized LDL has been explained by lack of recognition of oxidation-modified LDL structures by the LDL receptors, preventing the normal metabolism of LDL particles and leading eventually to development of atherosclerotic plaques. Of the lipid material contained in LDL, various lipid oxidation products are known as the ultimate atherogenic species. Acting as a transporter of these injurious molecules is another mechanism by which LDL can increase the risk of atherosclerosis.\nBlood tests commonly report LDL-C: the amount of cholesterol which is estimated to be contained with LDL particles, on average, using a formula, the Friedewald equation. In clinical context, mathematically calculated estimates of LDL-C are commonly used as an estimate of how much low density lipoproteins are driving progression of atherosclerosis. The problem with this approach is that LDL-C values are commonly discordant with both direct measurements of LDL particles and actual rates of atherosclerosis progression.\nDirect LDL measurements are also available and better reveal individual issues but are less often promoted or done due to slightly higher costs and being available from only a couple of laboratories in the United States. In 2008, the ADA and ACC recognized direct LDL particle measurement by NMR as superior for assessing individual risk of cardiovascular events.\nChemical measures of lipid concentration have long been the most-used clinical measurement, not because they have the best correlation with individual outcome, but because these lab methods are less expensive and more widely available.\nThe lipid profile does not measure LDL particles. It only estimates them using the Friedewald equation by subtracting the amount of cholesterol associated with other particles, such as HDL and VLDL, assuming a prolonged fasting state, etc.:\nThere are limitations to this method, most notably that samples must be obtained after a 12 to 14 h fast and that LDL-C cannot be calculated if plasma triglyceride is >4.52 mmol/L (400 mg/dL). Even at triglyceride levels 2.5 to 4.5 mmol/L, this formula is considered inaccurate. If both total cholesterol and triglyceride levels are elevated then a modified formula, with quantities in mg/dl, may be used\nThis formula provides an approximation with fair accuracy for most people, assuming the blood was drawn after fasting for about 14 hours or longer, but does not reveal the actual LDL particle concentration because the percentage of fat molecules within the LDL particles which are cholesterol varies, as much as 8:1 variation.\nHowever, the concentration of LDL particles, and to a lesser extent their size, has a stronger and consistent correlation with individual clinical outcome than the amount of cholesterol within LDL particles, even if the LDL-C estimation is approximately correct. There is increasing evidence and recognition of the value of more targeted and accurate measurements of LDL particles. Specifically, LDL particle number (concentration), and to a lesser extent size, have shown slightly stronger correlations with atherosclerotic progression and cardiovascular events than obtained using chemical measures of the amount of cholesterol carried by the LDL particles. It is possible that the LDL cholesterol concentration can be low, yet LDL particle number high and cardiovascular events rates are high. Correspondingly, it is possible that LDL cholesterol concentration can be relatively high, yet LDL particle number low and cardiovascular events are also low.\nIn the US, the American Heart Association, NIH, and NCEP provide a set of guidelines for fasting LDL-Cholesterol levels, estimated or measured, and risk for heart disease. As of about 2005, these guidelines were:\n|Level mg/dL||Level mmol/L||Interpretation|\n|25 to <50||<1.3||Optimal LDL cholesterol, levels in healthy young children before onset of atherosclerotic plaque in heart artery walls|\n|<70||<1.8||Optimal LDL cholesterol, corresponding to lower rates of progression, promoted as a target option for those known to clearly have advanced symptomatic cardiovascular disease|\n|<100||<2.6||Optimal LDL cholesterol, corresponding to lower, but not zero, rates for symptomatic cardiovascular disease events|\n|100 to 129||2.6 to 3.3||Near optimal LDL level, corresponding to higher rates for developing symptomatic cardiovascular disease events|\n|130 to 159||3.3 to 4.1||Borderline high LDL level, corresponding to even higher rates for developing symptomatic cardiovascular disease events|\n|160 to 199||4.1 to 4.9||High LDL level, corresponding to much higher rates for developing symptomatic cardiovascular disease events|\n|>200||>4.9||Very high LDL level, corresponding to highest increased rates of symptomatic cardiovascular disease events|\nOver time, with more clinical research, these recommended levels keep being reduced because LDL reduction, including to abnormally low levels, was the most effective strategy for reducing cardiovascular death rates in one large double blind, randomized clinical trial of men with hypercholesterolemia; far more effective than coronary angioplasty/stenting or bypass surgery.\nFor instance, for people with known atherosclerosis diseases, the 2004 updated American Heart Association, NIH and NCEP recommendations are for LDL levels to be lowered to less than 70 mg/dL, unspecified how much lower. This low level of less than 70 mg/dL (higher than Tim Russert's value shortly prior to his heart attack) was recommended for primary prevention of 'very-high risk patients' and in secondary prevention as a 'reasonable further reduction'. Lack of evidence for such a recommendation is discussed in an article in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Statin drugs involved in such clinical trials have numerous physiological effects beyond simply the reduction of LDL levels.\nIt has been estimated from the results of multiple human pharmacologic LDL lowering trials that LDL should be lowered to below 30 to reduce cardiovascular event rates to near zero. For reference, from longitudinal population studies following progression of atherosclerosis-related behaviors from early childhood into adulthood,[better source needed] the usual LDL in childhood, before the development of fatty streaks, is about 35 mg/dL. However, all the above values refer to chemical measures of lipid/cholesterol concentration within LDL, not measured low-density lipoprotein concentrations, the accurate approach.\nA study was conducted measuring the effects of guideline changes on LDL cholesterol reporting and control for diabetes visits in the US from 1995 to 2004. It was found that although LDL cholesterol reporting and control for diabetes and coronary heart disease visits improved continuously between 1995 and 2004, neither the 1998 ADA guidelines nor the 2001 ATP III guidelines increased LDL cholesterol control for diabetes relative to coronary heart disease.\nThere are several competing methods for measurement of lipoprotein particle concentrations and size. The evidence is that the NMR methodology (developed, automated & greatly reduced in costs while improving accuracy as pioneered by Jim Otvos and associates) results in a 22-25% reduction in cardiovascular events within one year, contrary to the longstanding claims by many in the medical industry that the superiority over existing methods was weak, even by statements of some proponents.\nSince the later 1990s, because of the development of NMR measurements, it has been possible to clinically measure lipoprotein particles at lower cost [under $80 US (including shipping) & is decreasing; versus the previous costs of >$400 to >$5,000] and higher accuracy. There are two other assays for LDL particles, however, like LDL-C, most only estimate LDL particle concentrations.\nDirect LDL particle measurement by NMR was mentioned by the ADA and ACC, in a 28 March 2008 joint consensus statement, as having advantages for predicting individual risk of atherosclerosis disease events, but the statement noted that the test is less widely available, is more expensive [about $13.00 US (2015 without insurance coverage) from some labs which use the Vantera Analyzer]. Debate continues that it is \"...unclear whether LDL particle size measurements add value to measurement of LDL-particle concentration\", though outcomes have always tracked LDL particle, not LDL-C, concentrations.\nUsing NMR, as pioneered by researcher Jim Otvos and the North Carolina State University academic research spin-off company LipoScience, the total LDL particle concentrations, in nmol/L plasma, are typically subdivided by percentiles referenced to the 5,382 men and women, not on any lipid medications, who are participating in the MESA trial.\nThe LDL particle concentrations are typically categorized by percentiles, <20%, 20-50%, 50th-80th%, 80th-95% and >95% groups of the people participating and being tracked in the MESA trial, a medical research study sponsored by the United States National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.\n|MESA Percentile||LDL particles nmol/L||Interpretation|\n|0-20%||<1,000||Those with lowest rate of cardiovascular disease events & low (optimal) LDL particle concentration|\n|20-50%||1,000-1,299||Those with moderate rate of cardiovascular disease events & moderate LDL particle concentration|\n|50-80%||1,300-1,599||Those with Borderline-High rate of cardiovascular disease events & higher LDL particle concentration|\n|89-95%||1,600-2,000||Those with High rate of cardiovascular disease events and even higher LDL particle concentration|\n|>95%||>2,000||Those with very high rate of cardiovascular disease events and highest LDL particle concentration|\nThe lowest incidence of atherosclerotic events over time occurs within the <20% group, with increased rates for the higher groups. Multiple other measures, including particle sizes, small LDL particle concentrations, large total and HDL particle concentrations, along with estimations of insulin resistance pattern and standard cholesterol lipid measurements (for comparison of the plasma data with the estimation methods discussed above) are also routinely provided.\n|Markers indicating a need for LDL-C Reduction|\n|If the patient's cardiac risk is...||then the patient should consider LDL-C reduction if the count in mg/dL is over...||and LDL-C reduction is indicated if the count in mg/dL is over...|\n|High, meaning a 20% or greater risk of heart attack within 10 years, or an extreme risk factor||70||100|\n|moderately high, meaning a 10-20% risk of heart attack within 10 years and more than 2 heart attack risk factors||100||130|\n|moderate, meaning a 10% risk of heart attack within 10 years and more than 2 heart attack risk factors||130||160|\n|low, meaning less than 10% risk of heart attack within 10 years and 1 or 0 heart attack risk factors||160||190|\nThe mevalonate pathway serves as the basis for the biosynthesis of many molecules, including cholesterol. The enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG CoA reductase) is an essential component and performs the first of 37 steps within the cholesterol production pathway, and present in every animal cell.\nLDL-C is not a measurement of actual LDL particles. LDL-C is only an estimate (not measured from the individual's blood sample) of how much cholesterol is being transported by all LDL particles, which is either a smaller concentration of large particles or a high concentration of small particles. LDL particles carry many fat molecules (typically 3,000 to 6,000 fat molecules per LDL particle); this includes cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and others. Thus even if the hundreds to thousands of cholesterol molecules within an average LDL particle were measured, this does not reflect the other fat molecules or even the number of LDL particles.", "label": "No"} {"text": "All meats are under scrutiny since the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that processed and red meats are linked to colorectal cancer, and lunch meat is no exception. Lunch meat certainly falls under the processed category and does pose these risks, as stated in the WHO report.\n“An analysis of data from 10 studies estimated that every 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by about 18%.”\n50 grams of meat is about two and a half slices of bologna or two strips of bacon, and it’s especially important to understand these dangers because lunch meats are such a staple of many everyday meals.\nThough the connection between processed meats and cancer is well-researched, the exact cause of the connection isn’t known. Lunch meats have been linked to cancer because of their high concentrations of nitrates, BHA, BHT, and other chemicals found in flavorings that companies are not mandated to list in the ingredients. Some lunch meats, like bologna and salami, are even more risky because of the extra sausage-like processing.

Lunch meats sliced fresh at the store have less preservatives than those pre-packaged, although this does mean they’ll only last a week instead of a couple of months. An even better alternative is to cook and slice the meats yourself—that way you control the sodium, the preservatives, and the flavorings.

From this modest beginning, the Maine Warden Service has grown to 124 uniformed members, making it the largest of the three bureaus within the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. Decade-by-decade highlights appear below. To browse historical documents in detail, visit the MDIFW historical archives page.\nInto the Wild Outdoors\nThe service's first enforcement action occurred when, on March 12, 1880, game wardens apprehended two men for killing a doe in closed season, marking the start of a decade of uphill battles. The earliest Maine Game Wardens, who received no regular salary but instead collected half of the penalties paid by poachers, were not highly incentivized for their dangerous jobs. Two of them, one a Civil War veteran, were shot and killed by poachers they attempted to confront. Citizens feared similar retribution for reporting poachers, so Wardens largely fought these battles alone. No licenses were yet required to fish or hunt, and inhumane hunting practices, market hunting, and game exportation were all rampant. Still, in 1886, the Boston Herald called Maine's game laws \"the most rigid and best enforced… of any state in the union!\" Two years later, wardens seized a whole carload of caribou meat on its way to a Boston market. Around this time, the Commissioner expressed measured concerns about the caribou population.\nMaine Game in Crisis\nAn estimated 4,000 caribou were being killed each year. In 1899, the Department, seeing a need to conserve fish and game if Maine were to have any left, enacted \"The September Law.\" This early attempt at a hunting license program cost $4.00 for residents and $6.00 non-residents, and allowed license holders to kill one deer in the month of September. It was extremely unpopular and swiftly abolished. That same year, wardens closed the season on caribou, and found at year end that there were \"practically no caribou in the state of Maine.\"\nConserving Species, and Crops\nDuring this time, tension emerged between the protection of species and property. In response, the state paid bounties for killing crow, bear, wolves, wildcats, and porcupines, and also reimbursed land owners whose crops were damaged by deer. At the same time, more protections were introduced, with a trapping season established for fisher, mink, muskrat, and sable, and beaver protected all year. In 1907, the sale of trout, landlocked salmon, togue, white perch, or black bass was prohibited. York County had a bucks-only law, and the \"Old Sunday Law,\" which prohibited hunting and fishing on Sundays, was put into place, but frequently violated.\nCars, Trucks, and Hunting Licenses\nPeople started hunting from automobiles, but the practice was banned in 1916. And in 1917, a second attempt at the rollout of hunting and fishing licenses proved more successful. Non-resident fishing licenses were offered at $2.00 each, as were lifetime resident hunting and fishing licenses, at 25 cents each. Revenue from these programs allowed the Maine Warden Service to expand.\nHatchery expansion and other financial strains caused the warden service to downsize, reorganize, and raise license fees. Moose season was permanently closed, due to concerns that \"when they finally disappear, they will no more return than the caribou have.\"\nThe Stobie Era\nPositions at the Warden Service, which now came with salaries, became more highly coveted around this time. Candidates, previously politically appointees, were now selected based on their scores on Civil Service Exams. This was the era of Commissioner Stobie, an influential and well-admired leader who once hosted a party at Moosehead for FDR's Cabinet, inviting all the east coast Governors. Under his direction, stocking and hatchery efforts were ramped up, as was enforcement, with the creation of the Aviation Division, the first pistol team, and the first Warden Academy. Stobie was also the guiding force behind the 1939 founding of the Wildlife Research Division.\nService, Search, and Rescue\nIn the early 1940s, Wardens began responding to occasional lost hunter complaints; and in 1943, searching for lost people became, by law, the Warden Service's responsibility. Despite more responsibilities than ever placed on the Department, many full-time Wardens were called to serve in WWII, and were replaced for a time by Temporary Wardens. Night hunting violations and violence toward Wardens both escalated to all-time highs; and in 1949, Wardens were issued police .38 caliber revolvers.\nGrowth, Progress, Prosperity\nStricter penalties finally curbed night hunting, with violations falling significantly. Meanwhile, 170,000+ licensed hunters were legally harvesting over 40,000 deer per year. Wardens' responsibilities and capabilities continued to expand thanks to technology and scientific innovation, with Wardens using 2-way radios, Warden Pilots stocking fish from above, and half the service patrolling the ground in newly-issued state owned vehicles. Gaining newfound traction toward its mission, the Warden Service was able to hire temps for hunting season and raise full-time salaries.\nService Expands on Inland Waters\nThe fleet of state-owned vehicles expanded and was given blue lights and sirens; and snowmobiles and motor boats were added to the fleet. With their increased mobility and visibility, wardens were also given more responsibilities, including enforcement of motor boat and snowmobile registration and litter laws. As search and rescue demands increased, an official Warden Service Rescue Unit was formed with mountain climbers and scuba divers. On the biology front, Wardens completed a Creel census and established a Meat Identification Lab.\nOutdoor Safety Prioritized\nThe Warden Service obtained Army surplus helicopters; and following a tragic incident wherein a Warden pilot survived a helicopter crash only to drown at an 8-foot depth, the department made it mandatory that all Warden School candidates be able to swim. On the hunter safety front, Blaze Orange Law went into effect statewide, PFDs were now required for watercraft, and the book You Alone in the Maine Woods was published. The Department continued to grow, and changed its name to The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to reflect its full scope of responsibilities. Regional headquarters opened and the Color Guard was established, as was the Maine Warden Service Relief Association. Meanwhile, enforcement training and capabilities increased with wardens given new practical training at Swan Island, high-ban police radios, a pursuit-driving course, and access (for inspectors) to supervisor school at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy. In 1978, the Department hired Warden Deb Palman, its first female Game Warden.\nK9s, ATVs, Overhead Search\nSearch and rescue capabilities increased dramatically with the establishment of the Warden Service K9 Team, the Search and Rescue Overhead Team, and a command post. Hunting law enforcement evolved with the introduction of a turkey season, new antlerless deer restrictions, and new migratory waterfowl regulations. ATV laws were also enacted, with enforcement added to Wardens' responsibilities.\nThe Warden Service added operational efficiencies, including the establishment of five Division Headquarters, a vehicle leasing program through Central Fleet Management in Augusta (rather than department ownership), and upgrades to trucks and handguns. Public reporting was streamlined, too, with the rollout of a 1-800 number.\nCommunity Partnerships, Tech Updates\nIn the 2000s, the Department made major technological and strategic updates, and forged partnerships with private companies like L.L.Bean. One such partnership, the Outdoor Partners Program (OPP), funded a tow-behind trailer that functioned as a mobile information booth. Large enough to accommodate two wardens and hundreds of giveaways like law books, posters, and clothing items, the OPP trailer visited major outdoor events like county fairs, fishing derbies, etc., and connected Wardens with the public in a friendly, fun non-law-enforcement context.\nIn another on-the-road improvement, Warden trucks were equipped with Mobile Data terminals so wardens could run inquiries, write reports, and use mapping software out in the field. The Department also digitized its record-keeping and reporting with several new systems, including RMS, the record management system used by the Maine State Police; WSAR, an online electronic reporting system that eliminated handwritten reports; and MCRS (the Maine Crash Reporting System), which was expanded to include not just vehicle crashes but also ATVs and snowmobiles. With this change, the Maine Warden Service Evidence Recovery Team (ERT) was also established.\nGoing National, and Going All In for the Maine Outdoors\nIn 2012, Maine Warden Service partnered with Animal Planet to create North Woods Law, a TV series that documented the day-to-day life and work of Maine Game Wardens. The bureau's goal for the series was to create local and national public awareness, and with it, a new class of strong and passionate Maine Game Warden recruits. After four years, the series more than delivered on that goal, and the fully-staffed warden service filmed its final season.\nIn 2015, the Warden Service joined the entire Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in a comprehensive marketing and branding exploration. Several insights were uncovered, including a desire to present a more united public image, together with all the biologists, educators, and staff of MDIFW, and together build on the success of programs like OPP and North Woods Law. In 2016, the Warden Service replaced its tagline, honoring the past, cherishing the present, planning for the future, with a cohesive department-wide one: All In for the Maine Outdoors.\nAnd today's Game Wardens truly are all in — working tirelessly throughout the state in all conditions, using modern technology and techniques to carry out responsibilities ranging from law enforcement to education to angler surveys, fish stocking, search and rescue efforts, and more.\nFor more information on today's Maine Warden Service, visit our about, organizational structure, and specialty teams pages.

Its message:\n- There is a worldwide epidemic of obesity.\n- It is endangering our children.\n- Increased sugar consumption is responsible.\n- The food industry is responsible for our increased sugar consumption because it puts hidden sugar in processed foods, bombards us with advertising, favors profits over health, and lobbies against regulation.\n- The government is responsible because it has failed to control the food industry.\nThe film has received mostly positive reviews and has been called the Inconvenient Truth of the health movement. It was written and directed by Stephanie Soechtig, whose earlier films attacked GMO foods and the bottled water industry, and narrated by Katie Couric, who “gave anti-vaccine ideas a shot” on her talk show in late 2013.\nThe film shows families struggling with childhood obesity and “experts” expressing their opinions. Their selection of “experts” is heavy on politicians and journalists and light on nutrition scientists.\nIs sugar really the cause of the obesity epidemic?\nBetween 1971 and 2000, the prevalence of obesity in the United States doubled. During that time, fat consumption decreased, carbohydrate consumption rose, and average calorie intake rose (from 2450 to 2618 for men, and from 1542 to 1877 for women); the film blames sugar, but one could argue that total calorie intake was to blame.\nCorrelation is not causation, even when there is a strong correlation like the one between the rise in autism diagnoses and the rise in the sales of organic food. There is no such strong correlation between sugar consumption and obesity, much less any convincing evidence of causation.\nSugar consumption has actually decreased around the world even as the rate of obesity has continued to climb. Between 1999 and 2008, American consumption of added sugars decreased from 100 g/d to 76 g/d, mainly due to a reduction in soda consumption.\nThis webpage lists per capita sugar consumption by country, and it clearly does not correlate with rates of obesity in those countries. Countries with higher per capita sugar consumption than the US include Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Iceland, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, UK, and Venezuela. According to this source there are 17 countries with higher rates of obesity than the US. Not a single one of those countries has a higher per capita sugar consumption than the US.\nThere are other sources with different numbers, and these statistics don’t tell us much, because there are so many possible confounders such as lifestyle, total calorie intake, fiber, the type of sugar, hidden sugar in prepared foods, consumption of an otherwise nutritious diet, etc. The point is that it’s premature to make the kind of definitive pronouncements that the film makes about the role of sugar.\nGary Taubes makes a strong case for low-carb diets both for weight loss and health, but he admits that his hypothesis has not yet been properly tested. Chris Voight did an informal test of its exact opposite, a carbs-only diet: he ate nothing but potatoes for 60 days. According to Taubes’ low-carb theories he should have gained weight and raised his blood sugar, but instead he lost 21 pounds and lowered his blood sugar. His cholesterol and triglyceride levels dropped; he felt well and had plenty of energy.\nThe sugar/obesity hypothesis has not been properly tested either. There are plenty of examples of people who eat a lot of sugar and processed foods and don’t gain weight. In fact, one obese boy in the film complains that his brother eats the same way he does but doesn’t gain weight. There are plenty of examples of people who have lost weight and kept it off by reducing calorie intake and increasing exercise. We know some of the factors involved in successful weight loss, and eliminating sugar is not on the list.\nRestaurants contribute to obesity by providing high-calorie food choices, large servings, and super-sized drinks. Fast food restaurants get a lot of blame, but John Cisna lost 56 pounds in 6 months while eating all his meals at McDonald’s. He counted calories and stuck to a 2000 calorie a day limit.\nWe don’t know that eliminating sugar from the diet is an effective strategy by itself. A family in the film eliminated sugar from their diet (they said they were “detoxing”!) and lost weight, but that could have been because they ate fewer total calories, and we don’t know that they would have lost any less weight if those fewer calories had included some calories from sugar. And the teenage boy lost weight but then gained it right back. What went wrong?\nColin Campbell of the Center for Nutritional Studies points out that the evidence showing sugar to be a major factor in obesity is relatively weak and is confounded by total calorie intake and other factors. He says:\nI know of no evidence that were we to eliminate all sugar from our diets, presumably leaving the rest of the diet the same, we could rid ourselves of disease and restore our health.\nThe film gets a lot of things wrong\nI was going to do some further fact checking, but Google saved me the trouble. I discovered that two writers at Food Insight had already analyzed the claims in Fed Up and shown that the filmmakers got many of their facts wrong. They give these examples:\n- “This year for the first time in the history of the world, more people will die from the effects of obesity than from starvation.” Not true: three times as many die of starvation.\n- “For the first time in 200 years, the current generation of children are expected to live shorter lives than their parents.” Expected by whom? According to the CDC and the Census Bureau, life expectancies are on an uninterrupted upward trajectory that is expected to continue rising until at least 2020.\n- While fitness club memberships more than doubled, the obesity rate also doubled. A meaningless comparison that is intended to suggest that we are helpless to do anything about our weight.\n- It rejects the concept of energy balance, but the scientific evidence clearly shows that it is possible to lose weight by decreasing calorie intake and increasing calorie expenditure.\n- Dr. Robert Lustig gets a lot of screen time. He says that there is “really good data” that “a calorie is not a calorie,” in that the “toxicity” of sugars is an inherent and unique contributor to obesogenicity. “When your liver gets that big sugar rush… it has no choice but to turn it into fat immediately.” His language is inflammatory, demonizing sugar as toxic and addictive. Lustig’s views are inconsistent with mainstream scientific opinions based on all the available evidence. Dr. David Katz of the Yale Prevention Research Center characterizes Lustig’s theories as “humbug” and explains why.\n- “Between 1977 and 2000, Americans have doubled their daily intake of sugar.” Not true: Americans are eating more total calories but have not doubled the calories from sugar.\n- “Over 95 percent of all Americans will be overweight or obese in two decades.” No, obesity prevalence has leveled off since 2003 and the forecasted trend-line is virtually flat.\n- It claims that consuming a single soda per day increases one’s risk of diabetes by 22 percent. Sugar doesn’t cause diabetes; the film presents a simplistic caricature of the relationship between sugar and diabetes.\n- The film says the pledge of food companies to remove 1.5 trillion calories from the marketplace amounts to “nothing,” a mere 14 calories a day per person. Actually, they have already removed 6.4 trillion calories, ahead of schedule and more than 400 percent of the original goal. The resulting reduction of 78 calories a day per person is probably more than enough to meet the Healthy People 2020 target for obesity reduction.\nThis review concludes by saying the central claims of the film are shadings of the truth, sins of omission, and outright fabrication. It says the film’s “obsessive focus on a single nutrient actually could cause more harm than good, in that overconsumption of any macronutrient can lead to overweight and obesity.” It offers credible evidence and provides links to additional resources.\nAt Reason.com, Baylen Linnekin points out that the film overwhelmingly features supporters of increased food regulation, and non-supporters are treated unfairly. David Allison is asked for his opinion on the contribution of sugar-sweetened beverages to obesity, and when he asks for a moment to collect his thoughts, the editing cuts him off and makes him look foolish.\nIn the film, Senator Tom Harkin asks how the food industry executives can sleep at night. I find that ironic. He supported farm bills that pay billions of dollars in subsidies to farmers in his home state Iowa, which leads the nation in high fructose corn syrup production. Harkin is a major advocate of alternative medicine who has been instrumental in legislation such as creating the NCCAM, a travesty and a waste of taxpayer dollars. He is so ignorant of how science works that he complained that the NCCAM has been disproving things rather than doing its intended job of “seeking out and approving.” He has been characterized on this blog as “waging a war on science.” I wonder how Harkin can sleep at night.\nWhat can be done to improve the American diet?\nI think we can all agree that the typical American diet is not healthy. It provides too much processed food, convenience food, sodas, red meat, salt, sugars, and calories; and it is deficient in fruits, vegetables, and fiber. Sugar is only one part of the obesity problem, a part that may be due to its contribution to total calorie intake rather than anything inherently bad about sugar. No one would argue that we shouldn’t try to reduce sugar consumption; the question is how to accomplish that.\nThe film’s comparison to tobacco is interesting. For a long time, the tobacco industry misled the public about the dangers of smoking. Tobacco advertising dropped when equal time was required for anti-smoking information. Societal attitudes changed rapidly for tobacco thanks to public information campaigns. Legislation has contributed to a decrease in smoking, but I would argue that legislation would not have been possible without a change in public perceptions.\nI think the general public is well aware of the need to control weight, and instead of trying to control their eating habits by passing laws to control the food industry, we might do better to educate them about how to eat a healthier diet. There is so much they don’t understand. The film shows tearful families unable to lose weight and trying so hard — but their efforts include things like switching from regular Hot Pockets to a low-fat version. There are many flavors of Lean Pockets, but the very first one I looked up contained the equivalent of 3-4 tsp of sugar and a whopping 655 calories. Obese teenagers are shown lamenting their inability to lose weight while gorging on cereal, finishing large bags of potato chips to “savor the flavor,” and choosing hamburgers and fries for lunch at school. One is shown making what he thinks is a “healthy lunch” to take to school: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! These people desperately want to adopt healthier eating habits, but they have no idea how to go about it. How can we best help them?\nPeople complain that they weren’t able to lose weight by reducing calories, but some of them don’t realize that they never actually reduced calories enough to get results. I once had an overweight 13-year-old boy as a patient. I asked what he usually ate for lunch, and we calculated that his daily cheeseburger, fries, and milkshake added up to over 1000 calories. I asked if he would consider bringing a lower calorie sack lunch from home, and he enthusiastically agreed. He had never even thought of that option. I had an adult patient who couldn’t understand why she hadn’t lost weight when she was eating mostly yogurt. She thought yogurt was “diet food” so she could eat as much of it as she wanted. When I asked her to read the label, she was astounded to learn that each container of yogurt had 240 calories.\nEfforts are already underway to improve school lunches and remove junk food vending machines from schools. That’s a step in the right direction. Agatha Raisin, a character in a delicious series of mystery novels by M. C. Beaton, brags that she loves to cook, but her idea of cooking is sticking a TV dinner in the microwave. A lot of our young people grow up with similar ideas about what it means to cook. Why not require Home Ec. classes in our schools? They could teach nutrition, menu planning, and meal preparation from scratch with fresh ingredients. Students might learn to think of healthier options when it comes to planning what to do for dinner.\nTo my mind, it’s not just a matter of educating children, but of educating the parents who buy and serve the food their children eat at home, educating the parents who think you can lose weight by switching from Hot Pockets to Lean Pockets. Just as information campaigns educated the public about smoking, they could educate the public about healthy food choices, hidden sugars, and calorie content of various foods. Even without legislation, a public outcry and grass roots movements would be enough to change food manufacturing. The food industry exists to please its customers and has provided us with easy, timesaving, attractive options that are hard to resist. What if the general public learned to buy less processed food, to read labels, to avoid hidden sugars, to be aware of how many calories they are ingesting, and to enjoy cooking at home? If they did that, market forces would make the food industry adapt. If companies wanted to keep profits up, they would have to be creative about providing healthier products. Just think how quickly they responded to public enthusiasms like gluten-free and low-carb.\nPeople naturally tend to eat the way their parents ate, the way their culture eats. It can be hard for them to even imagine other ways of eating. My parents grew up on farms and ate the way their own parents and grandparents had always eaten. I grew up thinking the ideal meal was meat, potatoes, a green vegetable, a yellow vegetable, bread and butter, a sugary dessert, and milk for a beverage. Last night I cooked dinner from scratch, using several ingredients that never crossed the threshold of my mother’s kitchen, including red quinoa, chickpeas, collard greens, olive oil, yogurt, and limes. I used to see items like those in the grocery store and pass them by; it never would have occurred to me to cook with them because I had no experience with them and wouldn’t have known what to do with them. We can’t expect people to think outside the box of the traditional American family dinner table and the fast food restaurant without some help. My horizons have been hugely expanded by subscribing to the Blue Apron program, which has me cooking from scratch with a variety of ingredients like heirloom vegetables and exotic foods from other cultures (many of which I had never even heard of) and trying out new cooking techniques. Blue Apron is expensive and is not something that could be recommended for everyone, but I can see how school programs and media campaigns might be able to accomplish something similar.\nI favor education over regulation. I’m not against regulating the food industry, but I would like to see proposals tested before they are widely implemented. Providing nutrition information on menus seemed like a great idea, but it has had minimal impact on food choices in real-world settings. Many thousands of young people were put through abstinence-only sex education programs before we realized they were ineffective and might even be doing more harm than good. We can’t just assume that any proposed remedy for the obesity epidemic will work. No matter how slam-dunk it sounds, it must be tested using scientific methods.\nThe film’s thesis, that sugar has caused the obesity epidemic, is not well supported by evidence. It is a partial truth that the filmmakers have dogmatically represented as the whole truth, with nary a hint of nuance. And it’s not fair to demonize the food industry. It has done a lot of good by providing a greater variety of safer food to more people for lower prices. We must share the responsibility for their shortcomings, because their less healthy offerings were created in response to public demand, and large numbers of people have chosen to buy those products because they don’t know any better.\nThe film will undoubtedly do some good by helping raise public awareness of childhood obesity and of hidden sugars in processed foods. I only wish it could have done so without misrepresenting the facts and without the bias and hype in support of the filmmakers’ political agenda of increasing food regulation. I try to eat a healthy diet, but I enjoy an occasional sugary treat and fast food meal, and I appreciate the convenience of packaged, processed foods when I don’t have a lot of time to shop and cook. I see no compelling reason to think it is impossible for people to lose weight on a diet that is overall nutritious and calorie controlled but that allows small amounts of even the “worst” foods.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Notes on \"Mirrors in the Mind\", by Rizzolatti, Fogassi and Gallese, Scientific American Magazine, November 2006 issue, p30-37.\nThe need for deduction of the meaning of complex (human) behaviours is quite probable, however, the ease with which simple behaviours and actions are understood suggests that there is another, simpler, explanation. This line of thought (among others) has led to the discovery and characterisation of so-called 'mirror neurons'. This paper follows the line of research central to this new understanding, and is written by some of those who were, and still are, actively involved in its progress.\nThe first indications of these neurons came from primate studies. It was noticed that certain neurons fired in a monkey brain when the individual was engaged in simple goal directed behaviour. Even more interestingly, these same neurons fired when another individual was observed performing these same actions. It was because of this behaviour that they were called mirror neurons. They were studied through single unit recordings, and through behaviour analysis in monkeys, which provided strong evidence for the presence of these special neurons. A second possible method of analysing the functions of mirror neurons would be to remove the mirror neuron system - however, because of the very wide ranging cognitive deficiencies which would result, this method would not have provided any conclusive evidence. Instead, an alternative method was used. Given their supposed function in understanding, their activity should reflect the meaning of the action rather than the action itself. Two experiments were run on this basis. In the first, it was tested to see whether the activity of mirror neurons could be induced from only the sound of an action being performed - the results showed that a subset of mirror neurons which were activated for the sight and sound of an action being performed were also activated for the sound alone. This subset was dubbed audiovisual mirror neurons. In the next experiment, even fewer cues were provided for the monkey - merely sufficient for it to create an internal representation of what was going on. Again, the results confirmed that mirror neurons underlie the understanding of motor actions - when enough information is present for an action to be inferred, mirror neurons fire as if recreating the parts of the action which are not directly observed.\nBased on these observations in monkeys, a natural progression of the research was to assess whether mirror neurons also exist in humans. Cortical signal measurements provided an indication that they were present, but the accurate localisation of the neurons in human subjects is more difficult than in monkeys (no invasive procedures). Brain imaging was thus used to address this question. Using PET (Positron Emission Tomography), further support for this view was obtained. A further question raised by this experiment was explore the possibility that mirror neurons allow one to understand the intention of an action by distinguishing a particular action from others which have different goals.\nTo address this question, monkeys were used for single unit recordings (of parietal neurons). In one experiment, its task was to grasp a piece of food and bring it to its mouth. Its next action was to grasp a piece of food, but this time place it into a container. For most of the neurons, there was a distinct difference in readings between the two cases, despite the similarities in actions, because of the different goals. This result \"illustrated that the motor system is organised in neuronal chains, each of which encodes the intention of the act.\" The second part of the experiment then attempted to address the issue of whether this neural behaviour explains how we understand the intentions of others. Using a similar procedure as previously, a monkey was set to watch an experimenter perform one of two actions - grasp and then either bring food to the mouth, or place in a container - and single unit recordings taken. The results were quite striking (tome at least): \"The patterns of firing in the monkey's brain exactly matched those we observed when the monkey itself performed the acts...\". This was for both tasks, thus illustrating a link between the neural representations of motor actions and the capacity to understand the intention of those same actions in others. Using brain imaging, these results seem to be also confirmed in humans.\nFurther studies showed that emotions may also be communicated in this way. Given that the communication of emotions is of vital importance in a social network (such as the societies and interpersonal relationships in which humans persist), the action of mirror neurons may explain this - \"Thus, when people use the expression 'I feel your pain' to indicate understanding and empathy, they may not realise just how literally true their statement could be\". It is acknowledged that this mechanism does not explain all possible aspects of social cognition, but it does go a long way in providing a neural basis for interpersonal interactions. Deficiencies in this system may then be responsible for conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, in which interpersonal communication and difficulty with picking up social cues are characteristic. (V.S. Ramachandran, among others, has written on this subject.)\nOn a side note, philosophers have long held that one must experience something 'within oneself' in order to truly comprehend it - the finding of mirror neurons provides a physical basis for this view. More than this, this discovery has the potential to dramatically change \"the way we understand the way we understand\". More recent recent evidence has suggested that the mirror neuron mechanism plays an important part of how people learn new skills. Imitation is very important for humans when young and learning skills and knowledge, much more so than any of the other primates. Could the development of the mirror neuron system in our phylogenetic past be responsible for this? Studies are ongoing to address the question of whether they exist in other species, or whether they are a more recent evolutionary development. Whatever the answer, it is clear that mirror neurons have an important role to play in communication and learning - more detailed characterisation is the subject of ongoing research.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Hipotlamo, part of diencfalo, with inferior localization to the thalamus.

But progress towards the MDG goals and targets was uneven between and within countries, with inequalities widening. The uprisings in the region that started in 2011 had widespread impact and gave rise to new conflicts and unprecedented displacement. As a result, MDG progress slowed for some goals in some countries and there were even reversals of progress in countries most affected by conflict and displacement. Assessments of progress across 13 countries at the end of the MDG era suggest that progress has been greatest in the eradication of extreme poverty and access to improved sanitation. On the other hand, there is insufficient progress related to targets on undernutrition in a significant number of MENA countries.\nThe MENA region consists of low- and middle-income countries that are facing a double of burden of malnutrition (i.e. stunting, wasting and micronutrient deficiencies) and over-nutrition (i.e., overweight and obesity) and the associated chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The nutrition situation of young children across MENA reveals inequities in the nutrition status of children under five between and within countries. Additionally, the region has been inundated with on-going conflicts for many years, further affecting the nutrition status of the most vulnerable population, women and children. The effects of persistent conflict in MENA are not limited to death and injuries, but include secondary in-direct consequences such as the deterioration of social, economic, and health conditions, both in conflict-affected countries as well as neighbouring countries.

For instance, the study indicated that prior to their training, nurses felt unsecured to address some of the challenges that accompany chronic wounds. They fear aggravating the physical and emotional pain that the patients suffer thereby averting engaging in procedures that they are unsure about. Additionally, nurses practice defensive strategies so as to reduce the chances of having to deal with medical malpractice litigations. In fact, prior to their training, over 80 percent of the nurses report that they would consider practicing defensive strategies, a situation which would consequently increase risks to the sufferers’ lives. Additionally, such practices increase the costs of chronic wound management, both to the sufferer and to the health care provider (Sussman & Bates-Jensen, 2007).\nNurses reported that they consider undertaking defensive measures so as to avoid jeopardizing the nursing career. According to the respondents, defensive medical practice is pervasive and widespread. Many nurses admitted to have frequently administered unnecessary treatments for fear of compensation claims from the patients. According to them, the inability to define the right factors that would facilitate effective wound management held them back. However, according to the respondents, training enhances preparedness amongst the nurses. As such, they possess precise awareness of the chronic wound management, a scenario which facilitates enhanced treatment as well as the preparedness to inform patients on how to effect chronic wound management from an informed point of view (Sussman & Bates-Jensen, 2007).\nA single dimension of learning limits the ability to accommodate new information, and, consequently, lowers the ability to make sense of that information in a quick, accurate, and effective manner. For instance, if a nurse over-relies on written texts, he/she tends to opt for what is familiar. They, therefore, concentrate on the facts that he/she knows instead of getting innovative and adaptive to new situations. In this regard, as much as learning is proves to be beneficial, the performance of nurses is enhanced when they begin forming inter-professional teams as this heightens their level of preparedness. This fact enables the nurses to respond positively when queried on matters pertaining to the management of chronic wounds (Sussman & Bates-Jensen, 2007). Effective training as well as the engagement in inter-professional teams does prompt the improvement of positive response from 72.2 percent to 91.6 percent.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Food allergies among children are fairly common, with about 8% of children affected—nearly nine million kids in the population. If you’re child happens to be allergic to certain foods, it’s especially important that you train your child to take precautions at school, where you can’t always monitor what she’s eating.\nHere are a few school safety tips to help avoid food-related allergic reactions\n- Instruct your child about the foods she cannot eat.\n- Knowledge is the foundation of safety. Be sure that your child knows precisely which foods she is allergic to, and be sure also that she understands that some prepared foods may contain these allergens without it being obvious. Make a list of all foods that could possibly contain the allergen, and make sure your child knows it by heart.\n- Make sure all teachers, nurses, and administrators know about your child’s allergies.\n- You can’t be at school to monitor your child’s potential ingestion of allergy-inducing foods. But if you inform all adults that your child encounters on a daily basis, they can do their best to make sure your child avoids foods that she’s allergic to.\n- Be on the safe side—pack your child’s lunch every day.\n- Prepared foods can be such a crapshoot when it comes to children’s allergies that it’s best to avoid them as much as possible. Lunches that you prepare yourself are often a lot healthier than food options offered at the cafeteria. What’s more, you can control everything that goes into your child’s lunch. Be sure to prepare the lunch with your child, if possible, so she can gain a clearer understanding of what she can and cannot eat.\n- Teach your child how to properly use an Epipen and how to wash her hands thoroughly throughout the day, especially before and after meals.\n- Sometimes, you simply cannot avoid accidents. Even if you pack your child’s lunch, there are so many other opportunities for allergic reactions—other kids’ snacks and meals, classroom parties, and accidental exposure when children touch their mouths with their hands. It’s especially important that your child understands the importance of washing their hands periodically throughout the day—especially during mealtimes—to avoid accidental exposure. Make sure also that your child knows how to use an Epipen in the event of a reaction that causes anaphylaxis.\nThe good thing about food allergies in young children is that they often grow out of these allergies. Some allergies persist throughout their lives, however, so it’s important that your child regularly go to a doctor and understand which foods she may be allergic to.

Parents can help by dedicating a consistent area in the house for schoolwork. This creates a focus on learning and helps your child feel like he has responsibilities for daily learning.\nBecause the home is a different environment, designed more for living, a few adjustments are necessary to improve your at-home online student's success and comfort.\nFind a distraction-free zone. Your student can't focus sitting in the middle of traffic, nor can he in the busyness of a daily household. Find a quiet corner, perhaps in a bedroom, office, or living room that is designated as \"the learning spot.\" Ensure this area has excellent light, a comfortable temperature, and the least noise as possible. Remove distractions like clutter, cell phones, and television. Consider installing monitoring software.\nMake the best use of space. Of course, a desk for your student will remind him of traditional school and could be a good option for your learning spot. However, if you don't have room, consider making desks out of tables, counters, or shelves. Garage sales can also offer cheap desks or convertible work stations. Make sure your student has space for proper posture!\nCreate a personalized spot. Make your student's area unique to his personality. Put up shelves for his items. Put school supplies, like calculators, paper, writing utensils, and so forth in easy reach. Include a bulletin board or whiteboard if possible (or try a digital version.) Put up pictures. Make it a colorful, fun space where your student will want to learn!\nRemember lessons can be mobile. One of the benefits of online learning is being able to take school anywhere. While it's good to have a designated spot at home for learning, keep in mind the flexibility of at-home learning means your student can do lessons anywhere. If it's a nice day, do schoolwork on the patio. If you're on vacation or have errands to run, do lessons in the car.\nEncourage learning beyond lessons. In an online school, your student can make his own schedules, meaning schoolwork can completed faster than in traditional school. Allowing for shorter school days, online school gives your student more time to grow and develop his talents! Foster further learning with sports, music, art, library visits, field trips, clubs and groups, or community activities.\nShow a positive parental attitude. Nothing fosters learning more than a positive ambiance. This is reflected in attitudes. Nurturing an environment of true growth requires daily parental help and encouragement. Remember you are also your child's teacher. Reflect positivity. Your child will model his behavior after you!\nOnline school is wonderfully free from traditional school limitations. Take advantage of the flexibility it affords by thinking beyond the average school classroom set-up. Construct an at-home environment that builds up your student's academic abilities, interests, and goals. Make it personal. Make it safe and comfortable.

They have an ocean of free resources at their disposal. Surely, the evolutionary pressure will be low and the yeast cells would be able to escape the local maximum and evolve an irreducibly complex eye.\nWhere this idea fails is not taking the nature of exponential growth into account. Exponential means being fast. It means, in fact, being faster than anything you can visualize. The barrel would be fully fermented in just couple of days.\nIn other words: No matter how big a whale fall is, it will be exploited fast. The body of the whale will be eaten in months and the last bacterial remains of the ecosystem will survive for maybe 100 years. Nowhere near the time needed for a complex evolutionary change to happen by chance.\nIt's worth looking at E. coli long-term evolution experiment here. Since 1988 E. coli is cultivated in a uniform substrate and observed to see how it evolves. From our perspective it's interesting that each day 1% of population is transferred to a new flask with the fresh substrate. One can think of it as of a new whale fall every day. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a control experiment where substrate would be added gradually, which would allow us to see whether environment with slack is more conductive to evolution of new features than environment without slack.\nHowever, in one of the populations in the experiment a speciation event was observed. There's one strain of E. coli that has advantage during growth on the substrate (slack) and another strain that has advantage during stationary phase, when the substrate runs out (moloch).\nThat hints that supposed slack may not be slack at all, just a different environment exploited in competitive manner by different subset of species (ecological opportunists).\nProposition: Isolation of small subpopulations can produce slack.\nLet's start with some basics of population genetics so that we have tools to understand what's going on.\nLet's say no human being is able to roll their tongue. What happens when a mutation arises that gives one that ability?\nWell, if rolling your tongue makes you more likely to survive and have more children then the trait will be actively selected for. The frequency of the tongue-rolling allele in the population will increase rapidly:\nNote that when the frequency reaches 100% there's no way back. There are no more non-tongue-rollers that could reproduce and take over the population. We say that the allele becomes fixed.\nBut what happens if the allele has no effect on your fitness? What it tongue-rolling makes you neither more likely to survive and reproduce, nor less likely?\nIn that case the frequency of the allele is a random walk. If increases and decreases solely by chance. In most cases it means it will be wiped out quickly:\nSometimes, though, the allele gets lucky and becomes fixed:\nWe call this process of random fluctuation of allele frequency \"genetic drift\".\nThe things turn interesting when the population size is small. Imagine population of two. Now it's much easier for the new allele to become fixed. Once it comes to being via mutation it already has 50% frequency in the pool and all it takes to become fixed is reproducing once.\nThe smaller the population, the more alleles become fixed by chance alone. (The picture stolen from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0)\nTo put it in different words, there are two competing forces in play here. There's selection (determinism, Moloch). And then there's drift (randomness, slack). And there are two factors that determine which one is going to be stronger. First, the more effect the allele has on the fitness the more is its evolution driven by selection. Second, the smaller the population, the more it is driven by drift.\nIn very small populations even alleles that are deletrious (harmful to the survival of the individual) can become fixed by chance.\nIf there was a single allele that coded for the half of the irreducibly complex eye it could become fixed even though having a half of eye is, strictly speaking, worse than not having an eye at all.\nWhat we gain here is time. We gain slack to wait for a new mutation to completes the eye. There are no more individuals with no eyes at all that would outcompete the half-eyed individuals. Now everybody has a half of an eye (even it the population size grows!) and we are waiting for something to happen. We are standing on a hillock in the adaptive landscape. It could be that the next mutation would produce no-eyed individuals again who would outcompete the half-eyed individuals. In that case we are back to where we started. But it may also happen that the next mutation would provide the second half of the eye and the individuals with the sense of sight would spread through the population.\nNow, assuming that our small population originated by splitting from a large ancestral population, for example, some animals migrating to a new island, now that they have evolved a superior trait they can migrate back to their ancestral homeland, win the evolutionary race and become the dominant species. (See peripatric speciation.)\nThere's not much slack to be seen here. We can call small size of a population \"slack\" even if it is under intense evolutionary pressure, but that way the term loses its intuitive appeal.\nBut let's look futher.\nInteresting alternative was proposed by the team of Andreas Wagner, here in Zurich. They start with the fact that neutral mutations (neither beneficial nor harmful) are subject to the random drift and thus a population is likely to have a lot of neutral variation at any given point of time. In other words, while the population has only a small variation of phenotypes (how the animals look like) it has large variation of genotypes (how the genomes of the animals look like). Then they show that different genotypes within the same phenotype can have vastly different \"neighbourhoods\". One animal may, to put it simply, undergo a single mutation and evolve an eye. Another may undergo a different mutation and evolve an ear.\nThink of it as of a map. Each colour patch is a different phenotype. Locations within a patch are different genoptyes. Individuals in the population, thanks to neutral mutations (which are by definition free of the selection pressure) can explore the enire area of their particular phenotype. Once the environment changes there may be some individuals just across the border from the phenotype that would do better in the new conditions. Such individuals can undergo a single non-neutral mutation and result in a new phenotype which will then spread in the population via selection.\nThis may be closer to the intuitive notion of slack. Neutral mutations have slack because they don't affect the phenotype and are thus not acted upon by the selection.\nProposition: Two-layer evolutionary systems can produce their own slack. The outer system can introduce rules that give inner system some slack.\nLet's look at some examples.\nMulticullular organisms: Each cell is genetically identical to each other cell. There's no variance for the evolution to work with. Any mutations (cancer) are aggressively weeded out. There's no evolutionary slack in the sense of \"freedom to evolve in random direction\".\nEukaryotic cell: Eukaryotic cell has two genomes so it's harder to tell whether the outer system (nuclear DNA) gives the inner system (mitochondrial DNA) any slack. But we can make an educated guess. First, let's stress the point that mutations in mitochondrial DNA can be as dangerous as mutations in nuclear DNA. There is such a thing as mitochondrial cancer. It ends up with a cell packed up wall to wall with mitochondria. That implies that it doesn't pay off for the cell to give mitochondria too much slack. Second and more important: Look at the crazy measures the cells use to prevent mixing mitochondria from both parents when undergoing sexual reproduction. The fact that sperm cell is stripped of all of its mitochondria before the DNA is allowed to enter the egg cell hints that intra-cell mitochondiral evolutionary conflict is detrimental to the cell as a whole. To sum it up, it looks very much like eukaryotic cells give mitochondria as little slack as possible.\nSocial insects: In fully social insects such as bees, the individuals have different genomes, but they use a weird trick to ensure social cohesion. To make it short, their reproductive mechanism is such that a sister of a bee is more genetically similar to heself than her own offspring. That's an incentive not to reproduce herself but rather help the queen with reproducing. In the end the system doesn't look too much different from the system used by multicelular organisms. (It may be interesting to look at termites though, which lack the incentive system described above.)\nAll of the above are systems seem to be the cases of 100% coordination with no slack allowed.\nProposition: Two-layer evolutionary systems with migration can produce slack.\nThe difference to the previous scenario is that the lower level individuals (say, mitochondria) can migrate between higher level individuals (eukaryotic cells). While mitochondria cannot in fact migrate, there's a huge class of organisms that can. Namely, parasites. (In fact, it's a rule of thumb: Anything that cannot migrate tends to be a mutualist. Anything that can migrate has a tendency towards parasitism.)\nThese include typical parasites, such as pinworm, but also, on a different level, memes. The common characteristic is that the environment of a parasite is not a single individual of the host species, but rather the entire host species. In theory, an opportunity to play non-zero-sum games emerges: If a parasite helps its host to survive and reproduce it grows the host pool size and may get more populous itself. However, assuming free migration between hosts, there's nothing preventing the old bad strain of parasites invading the new hosts and eventually pushing the do-gooder parasites to the extinction.\nProposition: Two-layer evolutionary systems with controlled migration can produce slack.\nI am going to get handwavy here.\nImagine that the control exercised by the outer system is incomplete. Not because the outer system would get any short-term evolutionary advantage from relaxing the control but simply because the controled individuals sometimes manage to escape and find a different host. It is not clear how such a relationship could be stable though. It seems that one side must prevail: Either the host gets full control and what we get is a mutually beneficial relationship or the symbiont manages to escape the control and becomes a hardmful parasite. (But look here.)\nAll that being said, there is one mechanism that seems to fit the bill. It's sex. Individual genes are able to escape the genome, but it happens in a very controlled manner.\nDoes that mean that sex gives species slack? One hint would be that sexual specifes in general evolve slower than asexual species. In other words, they are slacking. But I am not at all sure. If there's a mysterious question in evolutionary biology, it's the very existence of sex. Entire books were writen about it and there are dozens of proposed solutions. I don't feel confident enough to dig any deeper here, but it still may be worth considering.\nMay 23th, 2020", "label": "No"} {"text": "John Lewis of the University of Arizona believes the copious amounts of iron locked away in near-Earth asteroids make them a tantalising target for future space-mining missions. He points out that the Asteroid 3554 Amun alone could harbour iron and nickel deposits worth around $6 trillion.\nThe practicalities of getting this material back to Earth have yet to be addressed. However, one possibility is that they might not need to be brought here at all, but rather could be used in situ for constructing spacecraft in space - thus saving on the colossal fuel expense needed to propel the completed craft out of Earth’s gravitational field.\nSpecularite (high-grade iron ore)\nPlatinum and other precious metals are abundant on some asteroids. Asteroid 3554 Amun is believed to be home to platinum deposits with a value of around $12 trillion - that’s approximately half a million tonnes of the material.\nThis would be much easier to haul back to Earth than the same cash value of a bulky, less-precious commodity such as iron.\nHowever, platinum is only valuable because it’s rare - just a few hundred tonnes of it are mined annually on Earth.

However this study is the first to show a direct connection between insomnia and back pain.\nThe robustness of the study findings are supported by the size of the subject population (over 2,000), its heterogeneity, the fact that those with health problems were weeded out and not included in the final results, and the lengthy period over which the study was conducted.

With so many opinions on each side of the debate, how can a parent effectively decide what is best for their children?\nIn a recent article written for the Wyoming Tribune, these very questions are discussed.\nThe article began by discussing a national survey released in June where out of 376 households, 80% of parents are uncomfortable getting their children vaccinated. Still, 95% said they would get the vaccinations.\nResearchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Vaccine Program Office analyzed survey findings.\nThe biggest objection to vaccines is the pain of injection, cited by 38% of parents surveyed. About 26% had concerns that ingredients in vaccines are not safe; 30% feared the shots could cause autism or other learning disabilities. Some 32% worried about vaccine-caused fevers and 2% said they would not get their infants vaccinated.\n“The overwhelming number of parents have vaccinated or plan to vaccinate,” said Allison Kennedy, CDC epidemiologist and survey author. “But they had a lot of questions.”\nSurvey results found that parents look for information and want facts from their doctors.\n“We know vaccines are very safe and protect children from potentially devastating illnesses,” Kennedy said. Vaccines have been so successful that today’s parents have not experienced the illnesses that the shots prevent and may not realize their severity, she added.\nMany parents who oppose vaccinations are concerned about a link between vaccines and autism. However, Dr. Bob Prentice of Cheyenne disagrees with that. Three studies in the U.S. looked at autism related to the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, said Prentice, a pediatrician for 44 years. The studies did not find any association between the vaccine and illness, he said.\n“The scientific data are not there,” he said. “We see (that) vaccines are important for the control and the spread of disease and the protection of children. “We’re actually seeing fewer local reactions and fewer calls about fever after shots.”\nHe added that today’s parents are asking more questions about vaccines. “I want people to deal from facts,” he said. He refers parents to websites like the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.\nBut critics — like Dr. Sherri Tenpenny of the Vaccine Information Center — say they are toxic.\nAnd mothers like Carolyn Spranger of Cheyenne said her decision not to vaccinate her two young boys, Tristan, 4, and Avery, 1, came from her extensive research. Vaccines do not enter the body’s natural immune system, she said. “Our natural immunity isn’t able to work,” she said. ‘We’re messing with nature.”\nHer research convinced her “without a doubt that I’m not going to take the chance” of vaccinating. She added that her confidence in her decision grows with her research. “It’s not natural to put a whole bunch of chemicals” into your body, she said. Getting vaccinated doesn’t mean a person won’t get the illness, she added.\nParents must do their research so they can make educated decisions whether to vaccinate their children, Spranger said.\n“There are some great websites that take no sides. Their goal is to inform.” She recommends websites such as www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety, www.nvic.org, www.webmd.com, www.vaccinationcouncil.org, and www.vaclib.org.com.\nIn the end, it is a parent’s responsibility to figure out what is best for their children. Just as Ms. Spranger did, she researched and came up with what is best for her family. Other families should also do the same. They are the only ones that can truly decide if vaccines are safe and right for their kids.\nGET HELP NOW!\nYou Only Have Three Years To File Your Claim\nThe first step in helping yourself or a loved one after a serious vaccine related injury is to contact us for a free review of your case.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Public Health Statement for Dichlorvos\nThis article is a verbatim version of the original and is not available for edits or additions by EoE editors or authors. Companion articles on the same topic that are editable may exist within the EoE.\nPublic Health Statement for Dichlorvos\nThis Public Health Statement is the summary chapter from the Toxicological Profile for dichlorvos. It is one in a series of Public Health Statements about hazardous substances and their health effects. A shorter version, the ToxFAQs™, is also available. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737.\nThis public health statement tells you about dichlorvos and the effects of exposure.\nThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the nation. These sites make up the National Priorities List (NPL) and are the sites targeted for long-term federal cleanup. Dichlorvos has been found in at least 3 of the 1,430 current or former NPL sites. However, it's unknown how many NPL sites have been evaluated for this substance. As more sites are evaluated, the sites with dichlorvos may increase. This is important because exposure to this substance may harm you and because these sites may be sources of exposure.\nWhen a substance is released from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. This release does not always lead to exposure. You are exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking the substance or by skin contact.\nIf you are exposed to dichlorvos, many factors determine whether you'll be harmed. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), and how you come in contact with it. You must also consider the other chemicals you're exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health.\nWhat is dichlorvos?\nDichlorvos is a synthetic organic chemical used as an insecticide. Dichlorvos does not occur naturally in the environment, but is manufactured by industry. Dichlorvos is sold under many trade names including Vapona®, Atgard®, Nuvan®, and Task®. Dichlorvos may also be called DDVP, which is an abbreviation for its full chemical name. Pure dichlorvos is a dense colorless liquid that evaporates easily into the air and dissolves slightly in water. Dichlorvos has a sweetish smell and readily reacts with water. The dichlorvos used in pest control is diluted with other liquids and used as a spray. It can also be incorporated into plastic that slowly releases the chemical. The dichlorvos present at hazardous waste sites will most likely be in a liquid solution or as solid plastic pellets or strips.\nDichlorvos is manufactured by a reaction between two other chemicals called chloral and trimethyl phosphite. It is also manufactured by heating a chemical called trichlorfon. In 1984, about 1 million pounds of dichlorvos was manufactured in the United States. The main uses of dichlorvos are for insect control in food storage areas, greenhouses, and barns, and for parasite control in livestock. Dichlorvos is generally not used on outdoor crops. It is sometimes used for insect control in workplaces and the home. Veterinarians also use it to control parasites in pets.\nWhat happens to dichlorvos when it enters the environment?\nDichlorvos enters the air, water, and soil during its manufacture and use. Wastes containing dichlorvos that are generated during its manufacture and use are sometimes disposed of in landfills. It can enter the environment from these landfills. Dichlorvos also enters the environment from accidental spills during transport and leaks from storage containers.\nDichlorvos evaporates easily into the air, which is why it is usually used in enclosed areas. Once in the air, it can react with water vapor and be broken down. The higher the temperature and the humidity, the more rapidly dichlorvos is broken down. Experiments in greenhouses and food storage areas show that 90% of the applied dichlorvos disappeared in 3–6 hours. The products of this breakdown are two chemicals called dimethyl phosphate and dichloroacetaldehyde. These chemicals are less harmful than dichlorvos and are not believed to cause health effects in people.\nIf dichlorvos is spilled into a lake or river, it will dissolve in the water. Some dichlorvos will then evaporate into the air, but most of it will be broken down when it reacts with the water. The less acid the water is, the more rapidly dichlorvos is broken down. Bacteria and other microorganisms (microscopic plants and animals) in lakes and rivers can also break down dichlorvos. In an experiment where dichlorvos was applied to a pond, 50% of the chemical was broken down in 24–36 hours.\nDichlorvos does not seem to bind to soil. This means it can move through soil fairly rapidly. The breakdown in soil is less rapid than in air or water. Dichlorvos breakdown is most rapid in moist soils with low acidity. In a laboratory experiment with soil that contained 200 parts of dichlorvos per million parts of soil (200 ppm), 37% of the dichlorvos remained in the soil after 3 days. Dichlorvos remains for longer periods in dry, acidic soil. Certain bacteria and other microorganisms in the soil can also break down dichlorvos.\nDichlorvos is not stored, accumulated, or concentrated by plants, fish, animals, or people.\nHow might I be exposed to dichlorvos?\nThe general population is not likely to be exposed to dichlorvos. It has not been found in drinking water in the United States and only very rarely in outdoor air. Dichlorvos has occasionally been found on raw foods (fruits, vegetables, grains), but washing and processing destroys the residue. Maximum limits (ranging from 0.02 to 2 ppm) have been established by the U.S. EPA. Dichlorvos has not been found in prepared foods.\nPeople living near hazardous waste sites containing dichlorvos or near its manufacturing, processing, or storage facilities, could potentially be exposed. Because of the chemical properties, the most likely way a person would be exposed is by breathing in air contaminated with dichlorvos. Another possible route of exposure is skin contact with soil contaminated with dichlorvos.\nYou are most likely to be exposed to dichlorvos if you are involved in manufacturing or using it. Chemical plant workers, transport workers, and pesticide applicators are the major occupational groups that might be exposed. People in these groups are mainly exposed by breathing air containing dichlorvos, but significant exposure through the skin can occur as well. An estimated 24,000 workers in the United States are exposed to dichlorvos because of their occupations. Measured air levels in factories and workplaces have ranged from 0.005 to 0.08 ppm dichlorvos.\nYou might also be exposed to dichlorvos in the home after pesticide application. You are most likely to be exposed by breathing air containing dichlorvos, but skin contact with contaminated surfaces, or eating food that has been left out during dichlorvos application can also result in exposure. Measured levels of dichlorvos in room air immediately after pesticide applications have ranged from 0.08 to 2.7 ppm. It has been recommended that people should not reenter a room or house treated with dichlorvos until after a 10-hour ventilation period.\nHow can dichlorvos enter and leave my body?\nDichlorvos can enter your body through your lungs if it is in the air you breathe. It can also enter your body through your stomach if it is in your drinking water or food. It can also enter through your skin. Dichlorvos is taken into your body very rapidly by any of these routes (lungs, stomach, or skin). How much dichlorvos enters your body depends on how long you are exposed and the amount to which you are exposed.\nOnce dichlorvos enters your body, it goes into your bloodstream and is carried to all the organs in your body. There are enzymes in your liver and blood that rapidly break it down. These breakdown products are less harmful than dichlorvos. Most of these breakdown products quickly leave the body in the urine. Some of these products are broken down further and leave your body in your breath. Dichlorvos and its breakdown products are not stored in your body.\nHow can dichlorvos affect my health?\nDichlorvos is a member of a group of chemicals called organophosphorus compounds. Some of these chemicals are extremely harmful to insects and are widely used as insecticides. At higher doses than those used to kill insects, these chemicals can also be harmful to people. Dichlorvos can chemically react with an important enzyme in your brain and nerves called acetylcholinesterase and stop them from working properly. When this happens, signals sent between your nerve cells and to your muscles are disrupted. To understand the harmful effects of dichlorvos that might occur at levels of exposure that people are likely to experience, scientific studies have been done with people and laboratory animals. To protect the public from the harmful effects of toxic chemicals and to find ways to treat people who have been harmed, scientists use many tests.\nOne way to see if a chemical will hurt people is to learn how the chemical is absorbed, used, and released by the body; for some chemicals, animal testing may be necessary. Animal testing may also be used to identify health effects such as cancer or birth defects. Without laboratory animals, scientists would lose a basic method to get information needed to make wise decisions to protect public health. Scientists have the responsibility to treat research animals with care and compassion. Laws today protect the welfare of research animals, and scientists must comply with strict animal care guidelines.\nWe do not know how much dichlorvos is necessary to cause harmful effects in people. This is because few people have been exposed to enough dichlorvos to cause symptoms of poisoning. From the results of animal testing, we can estimate that if a person breathed in air containing more than 1 ppm dichlorvos for more than one hour, harmful effects might result. Accidentally drinking as little as 1 ounce or 30 milliliters (mL) of a pesticide containing 5% dichlorvos could also cause harmful effects. Spilling an ounce of the same strength dichlorvos solution on your skin and failing to wash it off promptly could also be harmful.\nIf you have been poisoned by dichlorvos, you will suddenly feel nauseated, anxious, and restless. You may also have teary eyes and heavy sweating. If this happens, you should seek medical attention immediately. Emergency rooms have drugs that stop the harmful effects of dichlorvos. Further symptoms can include loss of bladder control, muscle tremors, and labored breathing. Severe poisoning (5 ounces or more of a 5% dichlorvos solution) can result in coma, inability to breathe, and death.\nMost people who have survived poisoning by dichlorvos make a complete recovery, although this can sometimes take several months. Dichlorvos poisoning does not appear to cause permanent damage to the nerves (a condition called \"delayed neuropathy\").\nA few studies have been done on people who have been exposed to dichlorvos in the air in their workplaces. When dichlorvos is used properly, air levels of 0.01–0.03 ppm are achieved. This level kills most insects within one hour. In tests done with volunteers, exposure at about 20 times this level (0.23 ppm) for 2 hours a day for 4 days had no harmful effects. In a study in rats exposed to air with very high levels of dichlorvos (up to 34 ppm), all the animals died within 3 days. The rats showed similar signs of effects on the nervous system as in people that have been poisoned with dichlorvos. In general, harmful effects have not been seen in animals exposed to air levels of dichlorvos below 0.5 ppm. In a 2-year study in rats, breathing air every day with low-to-moderately high levels (0.006–0.6 ppm) of dichlorvos had no effect on how long the rats lived or on their general health.\nIn at least one case, a person who drank a pesticide containing dichlorvos died. The doctors who treated this patient were unable to tell exactly how much dichlorvos she had taken. Volunteers who ate 0.03 milligrams dichlorvos per kilogram body weight (0.03 mg/kg) for 21 days showed no harmful effects. In studies where animals (rats and mice) have been force-fed dichlorvos, about half the animals died when given approximately 100 mg/kg. Before the animals died, they showed signs of harmful effects to their nervous systems similar to those seen in human poisoning cases.\nTwo pesticide workers died after spilling concentrated dichlorvos on their skin and failing to wash it off promptly. It is not known exactly how much dichlorvos they absorbed through their skin. Experiments in animals show that dichlorvos can be just as harmful when it is applied to the skin as when it is breathed in or swallowed. Monkeys that had dichlorvos put on their skin (50 mg each day) died after 10 doses.\nIt is not known if exposure to dichlorvos can affect fertility or development of the fetus in people. Experiments done in animals that were fed or breathed in dichlorvos did not show any effect on fertility or health of the offspring.\nThere is no evidence that exposure to dichlorvos increases the risk of cancer in people. Rats that breathed in air containing dichlorvos for 2 years had the same rate of cancer as rats that did not breathe in dichlorvos. However, a 2-year study in rats and mice force-fed dichlorvos showed an increase in certain forms of cancer. Rats had increased rates of cancer in the pancreas and also had more cases of leukemia than rats that had not been treated with dichlorvos. Female mice had a higher rate of a form of stomach cancer.\nThe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that dichlorvos may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (a substance that can cause cancer). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that dichlorvos is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The U.S. EPA has determined that dichlorvos is a probable human carcinogen.\nThe U.S. EPA has calculated that a lifetime of drinking water containing 0.1 micrograms of dichlorvos per liter (µg/L) would cause one extra case of cancer in every million people exposed to this level. Dichlorvos has not been found in drinking water in the United States.\nIs there a medical test to determine whether I have been exposed to dichlorvos?\nTwo blood tests exist that can determine whether you have been exposed to significant levels of dichlorvos. These tests can be performed by any hospital or clinical laboratory. These tests measure the activity of two enzymes (called serum cholinesterase and erythrocyte [red blood cell] acetylcholinesterase) that are affected by dichlorvos. Dichlorvos affects these enzymes at lower levels of exposure than necessary to produce harmful effects. This means that if these enzymes have been affected, you will not necessarily have effects on your health. Many other insecticides also affect these enzymes. To determine whether you have been specifically exposed to dichlorvos, a laboratory test must measure the breakdown products in your urine. Tests of this type are not routinely done in hospital laboratories and your doctor will have to send a sample to a specialized laboratory.\nWhat recommendations has the federal government made to protect human health?\nThe federal government develops regulations and recommendations to protect public health. Regulations can be enforced by law. Federal agencies that develop regulations for toxic substances include the EPA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Recommendations provide valuable guidelines to protect public health but cannot be enforced by law. Federal organizations that develop recommendations for toxic substances include the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).\nRegulations and recommendations can be expressed in not-to-exceed levels in air, water, soil, or food that are usually based on levels that affect animals, then they are adjusted to help protect people. Sometimes these not-to-exceed levels differ among federal organizations because of different exposure times (an 8-hour workday or a 24-hour day), the use of different animal studies, or other factors.\nRecommendations and regulations are also periodically updated as more information becomes available. For the most current information, check with the federal agency or organization that provides it. Some regulations and recommendations for dichlorvos include the following:\n- The U.S. OSHA has set a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 1 mg/m³ (0.11 ppm) of dichlorvos for workplace air over a 10-hour workday.\n- The U.S. EPA requires reporting of any discharge of dichlorvos to the environment that exceeds 10 pounds. The EPA has also designated dichlorvos as a hazardous substance and specific regulations regarding its disposal are in effect\n- The U.S. EPA has established maximum permissible levels of dichlorvos in various food products ranging from 0.02 to 2 parts per million (ppm). Samples from the food supply are regularly tested for dichlorvos.\nWhere can I get more information?\nIf you have any more questions or concerns, please contact your community or state health or environmental quality department or:\nAgency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry\nDivision of Toxicology\n1600 Clifton Road NE, Mailstop F-32\nAtlanta, GA 30333\nInformation line and technical assistance:\nATSDR can also tell you the location of occupational and environmental health clinics.

The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (Trade Marks and Designs) (OHIM) began accepting applications for taste trademarks when EC Regulation 40/94 on the Community Trade Mark came into force. The primary issue of this article is the discussion of whether the taste is capable of providing the essential function of a trademark. The basic criterion for identifying trademarks eligible for registration (and protection) is distinctiveness. A taste is a sign that has the potential to be included in the definition of a trademark according to the Directive and to the CTMR. It should be noted that taste as a trademark can be applied only for goods but not for services. It comes from the nature of the taste itself: taste is initially stimulated by the contact of saliva, which dissolves or dilutes tasty molecules of food and transports them toward the taste receptors. Normally, the services cannot stimulate taste receptors. The taste trademark is not immediately viewed as a trademark, in part because it has not been traditionally used as such. Consumers need to be conditioned to perceive the claimed taste as a source-identifying object: taste should help a consumer distinguish one brand of goods and services from that of another. The taste should be viewed by the consumer as a trademark, but not as a decorative or functional feature of goods. The main problem of the taste trademark is that it is typically perceived as simply as a functional feature of the goods. Taste is a different sort of a distinctive sign in the sense it is intrinsic to the product in question. Very often, taste will prove to be an essential component of the product it claims to distinguish. Tastes cannot normally be separated from the product they should distinguish and that makes some difficulty for consumers in gaining access to the mark. The taste of a product can only be appreciated once it is consumed. The article discusses if there is any point where the taste mark can be exhibited. The article discusses Eli Lilly & Co.’s Community Trade Mark Application case. The application for an artificial strawberry flavour for use in pharmaceutical products was refused by the OHIM second board of appeals. An artificial strawberry flavour was found to be commonplace and devoid of a distinctive character in relation to pharmaceutical products. It was thought that consumers were likely to see the taste as a means to disguise the unpleasant flavour of medicine rather than as a trademark—in other words there was doubt over whether it functioned as an indication of origin.\n- Straipsniai / Articles", "label": "No"} {"text": "Ah, the south of Iceland with its glaciers, waterfalls and long black sand beaches. So many memories that still emerge freshly more than a year later. In this article we will focus on the impressive glaciers of the south of the island, as it is in the south of Iceland that most of them are found. It's impossible to miss them because they are so present.\n1The impressive Vatnajökull\nThe biggest of them is the huge Vatnajökull. It is so big that it is impossible to imagine its span from the ground. It is one of the largest glaciers in the world! It is the second largest glacier and the second largest glacier in Europe. And for good reason, it covers more than 8,000 km², or 8% of Iceland, with a thickness of up to 1,000 meters, for an average of 400 meters! Imagine that ice monster! Do the math and you will also see that its weight is just surrealist. Moreover, the pressure he exerts on the soil of the small island is enormous, so much so that he pushes it into the earth's mantle.\nThe whole of the Vatnajökull is included in the Vatnajökull National Park. And you will also notice that the ending \"jökull\" means \"glacier\" in Icelandic, a name that will be found a lot on Icelandic maps, but also in this article.\nVolcanoes and Jökulhlaup\nThe Vatnajökull is far from harmless. Under the ice monster there are dozens of volcanoes, which awaken in turn, and rather regularly. During an eruption, the ice melts abruptly in contact with the heat, causing huge catastrophic floods called Jökulhlaup, taking everything with them.\nThe last Jökulhlaup took place in 2010, during the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull, but it was the eruption of the Grímsvötn in 1996 that caused the greatest damage in last decades. The Jökulhlaup usually last several days, taking roads and bridges along their way. The traces are still clearly visible today in the southern part of Vatnajökull before reaching Skaftafell. Since 2010 new bridges have been built in areas considered safer, but the remains of the old structures are still present, as a reminder that mankind is very insignificant when nature rumbles.\nGlacier and global warming\nThe Vatnajökull is so large that its extremities end in a sort of small, narrow and long glaciers. But here, the word \"small\" is relative as everything is on an oversized scale! There are about 30 glaciers extensions scattered all around the large glacier, and they are most numerous south of the ice cap.\nUnfortunately, global warming is affecting Vatnajökull, which is shrinking from year to year. Studies show that the glacier may have disappeared in 100 years.\nFrom Route 1, you can easily discover the great glaciers that shape the landscape. Let's discover them from west to east.\n2The Vatnajökull's glacier and secondary glaciers\nThe Skeiðarárjökull is the first glacier from the Vatnajökull, visible from Route 1 from the west. Impossible to miss it, it is impressive despite the fact that it is located 5 km from the road. Its front extends for almost 15 km and goes up to the centre of Vatnajökull for almost 30 km.\nFor long minutes our car ran along this impressive glacier without leaving it. It is at this moment that one becomes aware of the immensity of the Skeiðarárjökull, which is only a very small part of the Vatnajökull.\nIt is this same glacier that was at the origin of the powerful 1996 Jökulhlaup, whose remains can be seen on the right-hand side of Route 1, about 3 km before reaching Skaftafell. Here, some panels tell the facts of 1996 in pictures.\nThe Skaftafellsjökull's glacier is much smaller than the previous one, but still very impressive. It is located directly after the Skaftafell campsite. From here, a 2 km long one-way trail leads to the glacier, and reaches the edge of the lake at its foot. It is not uncommon to see small icebergs.\nHikes with crampons can be made on the glacier, supervised by professionals. It is recalled that venturing out on an ice-cream pad alone, without equipment and without knowledge of the place is extremely dangerous. Water digs the ice beneath the surface and unsuspected cavities are constantly created, making the glacier unpredictable and dangerous. People have already lost their lives on Iceland's glaciers and the commemorative plaques will remind you of this.\nA few kilometres from Skaftafell is the beautiful Svínafellsjökull glacier. Easily accessible by a small unpaved road, don't miss to stop and discover the glacier and its small iceberg lake. Here, the water is rather muddy, but the charm is no less.\nThe pieces of ice still bear the blackish traces of the ashes from the last eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull, which magnifies the contrasts on the ice. From the lake, the glacier stretches upwards. Take a few hundred meters of the path that starts from the car park to have a more unobstructed view of the glacier. You will then see the glacier's heights appear, tinged with an incredible sky blue! For more information and photos, please visit our article dedicated to the Svínafellsjökull.\nIt was by chance that we discovered Kviárjökull glacier, a part of the Öræfajökull, a secondary glacier from the Vatnajökull, which is a little further back from the road. Halfway between the Skaftafellsjökull and Jökulsárlón, the access to the Öræfajökull is simply signposted from a small sign indicating Kviamyrarkambur. A dirt road of about 300 meters leads to a car park. Then, a path climbs up small hills that will allow us to take a little height to admire the glacier from above.\nThis time the observation is done from a little further away, but the panorama is really nice, especially when the sky is clear.\nFjallsjökull and its lake, Fjallsárlón\nNear Route 1 is the Fjallsjökull and its iceberg lake, the Fjallsárlón. This little gem was still a little-known place a few years ago, but it was without counting on the arrival of mass tourism in Iceland. Today, the lake has become an almost as popular attraction as Jökulsárlón. It is also possible to make boat tours.\nThe Fjallsjökull glacier ends its journey in a small lake. The opposite bank is not far away, which allows you to admire the icebergs and glacier at the same time. What's interesting is to stay and watch the icebergs drift and hear large blocks of ice crumbling away from the glacier in a huge crash. There is an isolated point of view, still little known because it is accessible after an unpaved track of about 1.5 km and not yet marked in 2016. To get there, we give you all the information in our article dedicated to Fjallsárlón.\nThe Breiðamerkurjökull and its lake, Jökulsárlón\nThis is one of the most popular places in Iceland. The famous iceberg lake of Jökulsárlón was formed following the melting of the Breiðamerkurjökull's glacier. The show is fascinating! Today, the lake is growing larger and larger, so that the glacier front is now 3 km from the sea and can only be seen if the weather is clear. The lake ends its journey in the ocean, passing through a small channel where the pieces of ice pile up before running aground along the immense black sand beach that borders the area. Boat tours are organized all year round to get a closer look at the icebergs (but we don't endorse them).\nTake your time to discover the Jökulsárlón lagoon and don't stop at the two large car parks on either side of the channel. Solitary and much more impressive points of view are accessible from small car parks located upstream, before reaching the channel. You will find all the details in our article dedicated to Jökulsárlón.\nThe Mýrdalsjökull is another large glacier located west of the Vatnajökull. With its 596 km², it is the 4th largest glacier on the island. Road 1 runs along it for more than 40 km, but the glacier is located about 10 km from the road, and it is mainly on the other side of the road, from the F210 that the view is most spectacular. A route that is also recommended for all adventurers equipped with a good 4x4. You will find more information in this article dedicated to F210 track.\nThe Mýrdalsjökull is now under close surveillance as it hosts several volcanoes, including the famous Katla, whose crater is buried under several hundred metres of ice. Its eruptions are fairly regular, and there is every indication that the next eruption may be taking place in the near future. This could then have devastating consequences, following the formation of huge Jökulhlaup.\nSólheimajökull is the only glacier of the Mýrdalsjökull which is located in the south of the island, making it easily accessible from Route 1. It is also probably the first glacier you will discover during your stay in Iceland if you turn counter-clockwise.\nThe Sólheimajökull stretches for nearly 10 km towards the ocean. The glacier is majestic, still slightly tempted by the black ashes projected by Eyjafjallajökull in 2010. To get close to it, you must use Highway 221 for 4 km, which is well signposted from Highway 1. Once you arrive at the car park, you will have to walk for about 15 minutes on a path without difficulty.\nAt the end of the trail, a rope will stop you from going further unless you are guided on a glacier excursion by a guide. Indeed, as mentioned above, walking on the glacier is very dangerous, as ice can break on your weight. But from here, we can already have a very interesting view of the glacier and above all admire its impressive dimensions.\nNevertheless, we braved the ban to get close to the ice and discover the big cavities of a fascinating blue. We continued the few tens of meters while being very careful to always stay on the earth. But it was when we came back that we found out that we had actually been mounted on a large block of ice, itself covered with earth. Looking closer, we see a large stream of water coming out of this block of ice a few meters further, indicating that our path was actually just over a layer of ice above a river. What was nothing but curiosity could have ended in drama if the ice had given way under our weight, taking us with the current...\nThe Eyjafjallajökull was made famous in 2010 by the eruption of its volcano, which disrupted air traffic for weeks. But above all, it is a 78 km² glacier, just 2 km from its neighbour, the Mýrdalsjökull. Its smallest surface area ranks it in 6th place among Iceland's glaciers.\nViewpoint on the Eyjafjallajökull\nFrom Route 1, a viewpoint has been set up to see the glacier and above all the top of its mediatized volcano. Some panels tell the story of the two eruptions in 2010.\nToday, the ice has returned to its place and the volcano is now covered with a thick white mantle.\nWe are coming to the end of this article. Of course there are dozens of other glaciers belonging to the Vatnajökull, but we did not have the opportunity to explore them. Don't hesitate to share your discoveries with us!", "label": "No"} {"text": "For a more basic descriptions of trompes, please read our trompe overview.\nThe trompe–a sixteenth-century technology–uses falling water to collect pressurized air. But exactly how does a trompe work? Though simple to make, trompes use complicated physics. Below, we have compiled a basic explanation on the science of trompes and cited some of the numerical data scattered across the internet.\n(Please note that the following is based solely on books, videos, and articles created by external sources. We have not yet conducted tests to verify their accuracy. )\nHow a Trompe Works\nLet’s start with the physics of the air-intake, which works via the Venturi effect. When water first enters the trompe, it falls into a constricted pipe, reducing the pressure and creating suction. Air then rushes downward through the air-intake tubes to fill the vacancy.\nThe diameter of the air-intake tubes dictates the size of the air bubbles that enter the water. Bruce Leavitt found that thinner air-intake tubes make the trompe a more efficient aerator. A large trompe in Michigan used 11,800 tubes, 3/8-inches in diameters, on each of its three aerating cones.\nThe height of the water-intake pipe affects the pressure inside the air reservoir. Though hard numbers are hard to come, trompe discussions across the internet tend to use 14.5 psi : 10 m or 15 psi : 32 ft to estimate pressure output.\nHistorical (and more recent) records can also give us a good estimate on the air pressure created by a trompe. According to Bill Mollison’s video, the ratio of the water intake’s height to the air pressure inside the reservoir is about 25 ft : 14 psi (.56 psi/ft). According to Bruce Leavitt’s presentation, the trompe in Ragged Chutes created 128 psi with a 345-foot drop (.37 psi/ft). The trompe in Victoria Mine created 117 psi off of a 342-foot drop (.34 psi/ft).\nCharles H Taylor’s hydraulic air compressor (a version of the trompe), he recorded that the air pressure int he reservoir increased 1 psi per every 2ft 3.5 inches of water displaced. He also noted that the air pressure was proportional to the height of the water column in the return pipe.\nNext, let’s consider the quality of the captured air.\nThe air in the trompe undergoes isothermal compression, meaning the compression does not affect the captured air’s temperature. Normally when a gas is compressed, it heats up. However, in a trompe, the water encompassing the air bubbles removes the excess heat. This allows the compressed air to be stored in a smaller space and prevents overheating any machinery powered by the compressed air.\nThe pressurized air comes out cool (at the same temperature as the water) and dehumidified.\nOnce the water flows into the outtake pipe, pressure from the air reservoir pushes the water upward. According to Geoff Lawton, the returning water can be lifted to 85% of its original height. When the compacted version of a trompe is used, Mollison described the returning water as going back up in a whirl.\nTrompes can easily self-regulate. If pressure inside the air chamber becomes too great, it will push the water level below the mouth of the outtake pipe. The air then escapes through the outtake pipe as bubbles, spewing out a geyser of water, steam, or ice in the discharge. A trompe in Michigan was recorded to have shot discharge up to 700 feet high.\nThe water intake pipe’s diameter needs to be smaller than that of the outtake pipe.\nTrompes can provide ventilation, power pneumatic tools, aerate water, and much more. Though not much data is available on trompe performance, here are some numbers we have found through preliminary research. (We will update this article as more data is found.)\nGeoff Lawton noted that trompes with different purposes need different sizes. If the trompe will aerate a fish pond, for example, the water needs about 3 feet of head. For collecting compressed air, the trompe needs a 100-foot-plus drop.\nIn Bill Mollison’s lectures, he talked about air-powered cars and how compressed air collected from trompes could run them. He said that a 2-cubit-foot tank of compressed air could drive a car for 200 miles. If a intensifier raised the pressure to about 1,000 psi, he said the car could travel 300 miles.\nThough we are unsure how Bill Mollison’s calculations compare to modern automobile standards, we can use statistics from Motor Development International (MDI)–an emerging air-powered car company–as a gauge. MDI claims their Compressed Air Technology (CAT) car can run on 4,300 psi and travel 125 miles on a full tank. They say their city version can reach 70 mph. They also have hybrid models that use both gasoline and pressurized air.\nThis article will be updated in the future.

Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth surface and the ionosphere.\nThis global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonances occur because the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acts as a closed waveguide. The limited dimensions of the Earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves in the ELF band. The cavity is naturally excited by electric currents in lightning. Schumann resonances are the principal background in the electromagnetic spectrum between 3-69 Hz, and appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies (ELF) around 7.83, 14.3, 20.8, 27.3 and 33.8 Hz.\nIn the normal mode descriptions of Schumann resonances, the fundamental mode is a standing wave in the Earth-ionosphere cavity with a wavelength equal to the circumference of the Earth. This lowest-frequency (and highest-intensity) mode of the Schumann resonance occurs at a frequency of approximately 7.83 Hz, but this frequency can vary slightly from a variety of factors, such as solar-induced perturbations to the ionosphere, which comprises the upper wall of the closed cavity. The higher resonance modes are spaced at approximately 6.5 Hz intervals, a characteristic attributed to the atmosphere's spherical geometry. The peaks exhibit a spectral width of approximately 20% on account of the damping of the respective modes in the dissipative cavity. The eighth overtone lies at approximately 59.9 Hz.\nObservations of Schumann resonances have been used to track global lightning activity. Owing to the connection between lightning activity and the Earth's climate it has been suggested that they may also be used to monitor global temperature variations and variations of water vapor in the upper troposphere. It has been speculated that extraterrestrial lightning (on other planets) may also be detected and studied by means of their Schumann resonance signatures.\nSchumann resonances have been used to study the lower ionosphere on Earth and it has been suggested as one way to explore the lower ionosphere on celestial bodies. Effects on Schumann resonances have been reported following geomagnetic and ionospheric disturbances. More recently, discrete Schumann resonance excitations have been linked to transient luminous events - sprites, elves, jets, and other upper-atmospheric lightning. A new field of interest using Schumann resonances is related to short-term earthquake prediction.\nHow the Human Body Is Affected by the Cosmic Environment Epoch Times - July 6, 2015\nEnvironmental variables, such as cosmic rays, solar activity, and electromagnetic waves in the Earth's atmosphere, may account for about 2-8 percent of heart rate variability. Cosmic rays have interested scientists for many different reasons. They come from all directions in space, and the origination of many of these cosmic rays is unknown. NASA's website explains Schumann resonances: There is a 'cavity' defined by the surface of the Earth and the inner edge of the ionosphere 55 kilometers [34 miles] up. ... The Schumann resonances are quasi standing wave electromagnetic waves that exist in this cavity. Like waves on a spring, they are not present all the time, but have to be 'excited' to be observed. They are not caused by anything internal to the Earth, its crust or its core. They seem to be related to electrical activity in the atmosphere, particularly during times of intense lightning activity.\nThe first suggestion that an ionosphere existed, capable of trapping electromagnetic waves, was made by Heaviside and Kennelly in 1902. It took another twenty years before Edward Appleton and Barnett in 1925, were able to prove experimentally the existence of the ionosphere.\nHowever, even prior to this, the first documented observations of global electromagnetic resonance, was at the Colorado Springs laboratory of Nikola Tesla in 1899. This observation led to certain peculiar conclusions about the electrical properties of the earth, and which made the basis for his scheme for wireless energy transmission.\nAlthough some of the most important mathematical tools for dealing with spherical waveguides were developed by Watson in 1918, it was Winfried Otto Schumann who first studied the theoretical aspects of the global resonances of the earth-ionosphere waveguide system, known today as the Schumann resonances.\nIn 1952-1954 Schumann, together with Konig, attempted to measure the resonant frequencies. However, it was not until measurements made by Balser and Wagner in 1960-1963that adequate analysis techniques were available to extract the resonance information from the background noise. Since then there has been an increasing interest in Schumann resonances in a wide variety of fields.\nTesla researched ways to transmit power and energy wirelessly over long distances (via transverse waves, to a lesser extent, and, more readily, longitudinal waves). He transmitted extremely low frequencies through the ground as well as between the Earth's surface and the Kennelly-Heaviside layer. He received patents on wireless transceivers that developed standing waves by this method. In his experiments, he made mathematical calculations and computations based on his experiments and discovered that the resonant frequency of the Earth was approximately 8 hertz (Hz).\nIn the 1950s, researchers confirmed that the resonant frequency of the Earth's ionospheric cavity was in this range (later named the Schumann resonance).\nToday Schumann resonances are recorded at many separate research stations around the world. The sensors used to measure Schumann resonances typically consist of two horizontal magnetic induction coils for measuring the north-south and east-west components of the magnetic field, and a vertical electric dipole antenna for measuring the vertical component of the electric field. A typical passband of the instruments is 3-100 Hz.\nThe Schumann resonance electric field amplitude (~300 microvolts per meter) is much smaller than the static fair-weather electric field (~150 V/m) in the atmosphere. Similarly, the amplitude of the Schumann resonance magnetic field (~1 picotesla) is many orders of magnitude smaller than the Earth magnetic field (~30-50 microteslas). Therefore, special receivers and antennas are needed to detect and record Schumann resonances. The electric component is commonly measured with a ball antenna, suggested by Ogawa et al., in 1966, connected to a high-impedance amplifier. The magnetic induction coils typically consist of tens- to hundreds-of-thousands of turns of wire wound around a core of very high magnetic permeability.\nFrom the very beginning of Schumann resonance studies, it was known that they could be used to monitor global lightning activity. At any given time there are about 2000 thunderstorms around the globe. Producing ~50 lightning events per second, these thunderstorms create the background Schumann resonance signal.\nDetermining the spatial lightning distribution from Schumann resonance records is a complex problem: in order to estimate the lightning intensity from Schumann resonance records it is necessary to account for both the distance to lightning sources as well as the wave propagation between the source and the observer.\nThe common approach is to make a preliminary assumption on the spatial lightning distribution, based on the known properties of lightning climatology. An alternative approach is placing the receiver at the North or South Pole, which remain approximately equidistant from the main thunderstorm centers during the day.\nOne method not requiring preliminary assumptions on the lightning distribution is based on the decomposition of the average background Schumann resonance spectra, utilizing ratios between the average electric and magnetic spectra and between their linear combination. This technique assumes the cavity is spherically symmetric and therefore does not include known cavity asymmetries that are believed to affect the resonance and propagation properties of electromagnetic waves in the system.\nThe best documented and the most debated features of the Schumann resonance phenomenon are the diurnal variations of the background Schumann resonance power spectrum.\nA characteristic Schumann resonance diurnal record reflects the properties of both global lightning activity and the state of the earth-ionosphere cavity between the source region and the observer. The vertical electric field is independent of the direction of the source relative to the observer, and is therefore a measure of global lightning. The diurnal behavior of the vertical electric field shows three distinct maxima, associated with the three hot spots of planetary lightning activity: 9 UT (Universal Time) peak, linked to the increased thunderstorm activity from south-east Asia; 14 UT peak associated with the peak in African lightning activity; and the 20 UT peak resulting for the increase in lightning activity in South America. The time and amplitude of the peaks vary throughout the year, reflecting the seasonal changes in lightning activity.\nIn general, the African peak is the strongest, reflecting the major contribution of the African 'chimney' to the global lightning activity. The ranking of the two other peaks - Asian and American - is the subject of a vigorous dispute among Schumann resonance scientists. Schumann resonance observations made from Europe show a greater contribution from Asia than from South America.\nThis contradicts optical satellite and climatological lightning data that show the South American thunderstorm center stronger than the Asian center although observations made from North America indicate the dominant contribution comes from South America. The reason for such disparity remains unclear, but may have something to do with the 60hz cycling of electricity used in North America (60hz being a mode of Schumann Resonance).\nWilliams and Satori suggest that in order to obtain correct Asia-America chimney ranking, it is necessary to remove the influence of the day/night variations in the ionospheric conductivity (day-night asymmetry influence) from the Schumann resonance records. On the other hand, such corrected records presented in the work by Satori et al. show that even after the removal of the day-night asymmetry influence from Schumann resonance records, the Asian contribution remains greater than American.\nSimilar results were obtained by Pechony et al. who calculated Schumann resonance fields from satellite lightning data. It was assumed that the distribution of lightning in the satellite maps was a good proxy for Schumann excitations sources, even though satellite observations predominantly measure in-cloud lightning rather than the cloud-to-ground lightning that are the primary exciters of the resonances.\nBoth simulations - those neglecting the day-night asymmetry, and those taking this asymmetry into account, showed same Asia-America chimney ranking. As for today, the reason for the 'invert' ranking of Asia and America chimneys in Schumann resonance records remains unclear and the subject requires further, targeted research.\nIn the early literature the observed diurnal variations of Schumann resonance power were explained by the variations in the source-receiver (lightning-observer) geometry. It was concluded that no particular systematic variations of the ionosphere (which serves as the upper waveguide boundary) are needed to explain these variations.\nSubsequent theoretical studies supported the early estimations of the small influence of the ionosphere day-night asymmetry (difference between day-side and night-side ionosphere conductivity) on the observed variations in Schumann resonance field intensities.\nThe interest in the influence of the day-night asymmetry in the ionosphere conductivity on Schumann resonances gained new strength in the 1990s, after publication of a work by Sentman and Fraser. Sentman and Fraser developed a technique to separate the global and the local contributions to the observed field power variations using records obtained simultaneously at two stations that were widely separated in longitude. They interpreted the diurnal variations observed at each station in terms of a combination of a diurnally varying global excitation modulated by the local ionosphere height.\nTheir work, which combined both observations and energy conservation arguments, convinced many scientists of the importance of the ionospheric day-night asymmetry and inspired numerous experimental studies. However, recently it was shown that results obtained by Sentman and Fraser can be approximately simulated with a uniform model (without taking into account ionosphere day-night variation) and therefore cannot be uniquely interpreted solely in terms of ionosphere height variation.\nSchumann resonance amplitude records show significant diurnal and seasonal variations which in general coincide in time with the times of the day-night transition (the terminator). This time-matching seems to support the suggestion of a significant influence of the day-night ionosphere asymmetry on Schumann resonance amplitudes. There are records showing almost clock-like accuracy of the diurnal amplitude changes.\nOn the other hand there are numerous days when Schumann Resonance amplitudes do not increase at sunrise or do not decrease at sunset. There are studies showing that the general behavior of Schumann resonance amplitude records can be recreated from diurnal and seasonal thunderstorm migration, without invoking ionospheric variations.\nTwo recent independent theoretical studies have shown that the variations in Schumann resonance power related to the day-night transition are much smaller than those associated with the peaks of the global lightning activity, and therefore the global lightning activity plays a more important role in the variation of the Schumann resonance power.\nIt is generally acknowledged that source-observer effects are the dominant source of the observed diurnal variations, but there remains considerable controversy about the degree to which day-night signatures are present in the data. Part of this controversy stems from the fact that the Schumann resonance parameters extractable from observations provide only a limited amount of information about the coupled lightning source-ionospheric system geometry. The problem of inverting observations to simultaneously infer both the lightning source function and ionospheric structure is therefore extremely underdetermined, leading to the possibility of nonunique interpretations.\nOne of the interesting problems in Schumann resonances studies is determining the lightning source characteristics (the inverse problem). Temporally resolving each individual flash is impossible because the mean rate of excitation by lightning, ~50 lightning events per second globally, mixes up the individual contributions together. However, occasionally there occur extremely large lightning flashes which produce distinctive signatures that stand out from the background signals. Called \"Q-bursts\", they are produced by intense lightning strikes that transfer large amounts of charge from clouds to the ground, and often carry high peak current.\nQ-bursts can exceed the amplitude of the background signal level by a factor of 10 or more, and appear with intervals of ~10 s, which allows to consider them as isolated events and determine the source lightning location. The source location is determined with either multi-station or single-station techniques, and requires assuming a model for the earth-ionosphere cavity. The multi-station techniques are more accurate, but require more complicated and expensive facilities.\nIt is now believed that many of the Schumann resonances transients (Q bursts) are related to the transient luminous events (TLEs). In 1995 Boccippio et al. showed that sprites, the most common TLE, are produced by positive cloud-to-ground lightning occurring in the stratiform region of a thunderstorm system, and are accompanied by Q-burst in the Schumann resonances band. Recent observations reveal that occurrences of sprites and Q bursts are highly correlated and Schumann resonances data can possibly be used to estimate the global occurrence rate of sprites.\nWilliams suggested that global temperature may be monitored with the Schumann resonances. The link between Schumann resonance and temperature is lightning flash rate, which increases nonlinearly with temperature. The nonlinearity of the lightning-to-temperature relation provides a natural amplifier of the temperature changes and makes Schumann resonance a sensitive thermometer.\nMoreover, the ice particles that are believed to participate in the electrification processes which result in a lightning discharge have an important role in the radiative feedback effects that influence the atmosphere temperature. Schumann resonances may therefore help us to understand these feedback effects. A strong link between global lightning and global temperature has not been experimentally confirmed as of 2008.\nTropospheric water vapor is a key element of the Earth's climate, which has direct effects as a greenhouse gas, as well as indirect effect through interaction with clouds, aerosols and tropospheric chemistry. Upper tropospheric water vapor (UTWV) has a much greater impact on the greenhouse effect than water vapor in the lower atmosphere, but whether this impact is a positive, or a negative feedback is still uncertain.\nThe main challenge in addressing this question is the difficulty in monitoring UTWV globally over long timescales. Continental deep-convective thunderstorms produce most of the lightning discharges on Earth. In addition, they transport large amount of water vapor into the upper troposphere, dominating the variations of global UTWV. Price 2000 suggested that changes in the UTWV can be derived from records of Schumann Resonances.\nThe existence of Schumann-like resonances is conditioned primarily by two factors: (1) a closed, planetary-sized spherical cavity, consisting of conducting lower and upper boundaries separated by an insulating medium. For the earth the conducting lower boundary is its surface, and the upper boundary is the ionosphere. Other planets may have similar electrical conductivity geometry, so it is speculated that they should possess similar resonant behavior. (2) source of electrical excitation of electromagnetic waves in the ELF range. Within the Solar System there are five candidates for Schumann resonance detection besides the Earth: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and its moon Titan.\nModeling Schumann resonances on the planets and moons of the Solar System is complicated by the lack of knowledge of the waveguide parameters. No in situ capability exists today to validate the results, but in the case of Mars there have been terrestrial observations of radio emission spectra that suggest the presence of Schumann resonances and there is the possibility that future lander missions could carry in situ instrumentation to perform the necessary measurements. Theoretical studies are primarily directed to parameterizing the problem for future planetary explorers.\nThe strongest evidence for lightning on Venus comes from the impulsive electromagnetic waves detected by Venera 11 and 12 landers. Theoretical calculations of the Schumann resonances at Venus were reported by Nickolaenko and Rabinowicz and Pechony and Price .\nBoth studies yielded very close results, indicating that Schumann resonances should be easily detectable on this planet given a lightning source of excitation and a suitably located sensor.\nOn Mars detection of lightning activity has been reported by Ruf et al. , confirming the possibility of charge separation and lightning strokes in the Martian dust storms considered by Eden and Vonnegut and Renno et al. . Martian global resonances were modeled by Sukhorukov , Pechony and Price and Molina-Cuberos et al. .\nThe results of the three studies are somewhat different, but it seems that at least the first two Schumann resonance modes should be detectable. Evidence of the first three Schumann resonance modes is present in the spectra of radio emission from the lightning detected in Martian dust storms.\nIt was long ago suggested that lightning dischargers may occur on Titan, but recent data from Cassini-Huygens seems to indicate that there is no lightning activity on this largest satellite of Saturn. Due to the recent interest in Titan, associated with the Cassini-Huygens mission, its ionosphere is perhaps the most thoroughly modeled today. Schumann resonances on Titan have received more attention than on other celestial body, in works by Besser et al. , Morente et al. , Molina-Cuberos et al. , Nickolaenko et al. and Pechony and Price . It appears that only the first Schumann resonance mode might be detectable on Titan.\nJupiter is the only planet where lightning activity has been optically detected. Existence of lightning activity on this planet was predicted by Bar-Nun and it is now supported by data from Galileo, Voyagers 1 and 2, Pioneers 10 and 11 and Cassini. Saturn is also expected to have intensive lightning activity, but the three visiting spacecrafts - Pioneer 11 in 1979, Voyager 1 in 1980 and Voyager 2 in 1981, failed to provide any convincing evidence from optical observations.\nThe strong storm monitored on Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft produced no visible lightning flashes, although electromagnetic sensors aboard the spacecraft detected signatures that are characteristic of lightning. Little is known about the electrical parameters of Jupiter and Saturn interior. Even the question of what should serve as the lower waveguide boundary is a non-trivial one in case of the gaseous planets. There seem to be no works dedicated to Schumann resonances on Saturn.\nTo date there has been only one attempt to model Schumann resonances on Jupiter. Here, the electrical conductivity profile within the gaseous atmosphere of Jupiter was calculated using methods similar to those used to model stellar interiors, and it was pointed out that the same methods could be easily extended to the other gas giants Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Given the intense lightning activity at Jupiter, the Schumann resonances should be easily detectable with a sensor suitably positioned within the planetary-ionospheric cavity.

They called her “the Starling”.\nYou can discover Magdalena Gross’s and many more stories on the website managed by POLIN – Museum of the History of Polish Jews and dedicated to people who helped Jews during the Holocaust, risking their own lives and the lives of their families.\nThe online portal “Polish Righteous – Recalling Forgotten History” started as a project by the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute in Poland and presents stories, places, pictures and interviews collected by the Museum throughout the years, but also allows users to add their own stories to the project.\nThe second world war and the Holocaust are no easy subjects and need to be handled with sensitivity, which makes them less than obvious candidates for an online platform directed at a very wide audience.\nBut with specialist and project manager Klara Jackl, POLIN has managed to expand the project way beyond its traditional exhibition that travels the world. Indeed, as she will show during her WAM17 workshop entitled Testimony, object, story: online projects as tools in civic and history education, the project has achieved to strike a balance between historical content, simplicity of the form and attractiveness of the message.\nConsidering that an online platform allows a different experience than a physical exhibition, Klara Jackl has chosen to make the most of it by creating online exhibitions, themed galleries, but also include educational resources. As for the stories themselves, they can be explored through different entry points: by names of the Righteous, names of the saved families and locations. Each story comes with context that does not distract the user from reading its core but provides powerful pictures, additional sources and bibliography, information about relationships between people. The website also highlights news and current events – and gives the opportunity to explore Poland by walking in the footsteps of the Righteous, showing the part of History they are focusing on is still relevant.\nThe platform really brings the Righteous and the Jews they saved a bit closer to the visitors by still creating a universe in which people who still haven’t shared their story feel safe to do so because it will be shared in a respectful way.\nRegister for WAM17 and attend Klara’s workshop, during which she will give you her best advice to create powerful experiences around History in a sensitive but impactful way that convey important messages.: POLIN", "label": "No"} {"text": "Water storage level in the reservoirs of 12 states in the country has declined as compared to the corresponding period last year, the Central Water Commission (CWC) said.\nHimachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are the states having lesser water storage than last year as on July 3, CWC said in a statement.\nThe CWC data comes amid reports that the worst impact of a sub-normal monsoon is likely to be in western India with possible drought-like conditions in some areas.

Good question, right? The answer is, maybe you shouldn’t be.\nWhile bilateral training (think the traditional squat) is by no means a bad thing, unilateral training (single-leg squat, lunge, step-up, etc.) may be a better choice for endurance athletes.\nUnilateral exercises are an integral part of rehabilitation programs—they offer one of the most effective ways to retrain muscle groups and get your body working the way it was meant to. The thing is you don’t have to be broken to take advantage of this type of training. Aside from its ability to guard against injury and improve your overall running performance, there are five more reasons you should definitely consider incorporating unilateral training into your workout routine.\nReduce Muscle Imbalances\nEveryone has a dominant and non-dominant side; generally the limbs on your dominant side are stronger than those on the non-dominant side. When you’re performing a traditional bilateral squat, in most cases, your dominant leg will compensate to some degree for any weakness in your non-dominant leg. By training one leg at a time, you’re forcing your non-dominant leg to step up and work just as hard as your dominant leg. Over time, unilateral training will resolve any muscle imbalances you may have.\nImprove Muscle Recruitment\nBilateral training provides a pretty cushy exercise environment; unilateral training, on the other hand makes you work harder and recruit more muscle fibers to perform the exact same movement. Take squats for example. When done with both legs your body is in a balanced, comfortable position. Remove one leg out of the equation and now your abductors and core have to work to stabilize your pelvis while your working leg executes the squat. One limb movements also necessitate greater recruitment of the stabilizer muscles that surround the working joint.\nBuild Functional Strength\nYes, traditional bilateral training will make you stronger and make you a better runner, but how often do you really have the opportunity to use both legs equally to do something? Take running on uneven terrain, for example; each leg has to have the physical capacity to withstand uneven loads coming from any direction like when you jump over a fallen log or have to take an extra big stride to miss a puddle.\nGreater Workout Intensity\nSome runners find strength-training tedious because it can lack the vigor of cardio. Well, unilateral training allows you to crank the volume on your workout intensity because you don’t have to rest between sets. Since you’re working one leg at a time you can move from one leg to the next, allowing each leg some recovery time without giving your heart and lungs any time off. The constant movement will push your intensity through the roof, making it an awesome addition to your cross-training arsenal.\nIncorporated Core Training\nWhen you train one leg at a time, you automatically throw your body off balance. Unilateral exercises provide a disruptive torque to the body, forcing your core muscles to engage in order to neutralize the force and keep your body upright. The uneven weight distribution instantly recruits your deep stabilizer muscles and has them working throughout the duration of the exercise, giving you a solid core workout without any added effort on your part.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Meditations c 175 Marcus Aurelius, Rome, 121-180 Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus was Roman Emperor from 161 to his death.

When we believe we’ve discovered something new, we want to tell as many others as possible. We also want to provide all the information required to convince others we’re right.\nYet most scientists’ reports of their discoveries are not freely available. While the journal articles in which discoveries are reported are all on the web nowadays, to read those webpages you’ll be coughing up some serious dough – up to A$42 an article. That is, unless you’re lucky enough to be associated with an institution that’s already paid the subscription fee.\nAs do most of my colleagues, I provide free labour to the publishers (Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley-Blackwell among others) who defend this regressive system. So even though I’ve been posting my articles in freely-accessible web repositories, I’m still a part of the problem. This is the story of how we scientists got stuck.\nThe way we were\nModern science began in the 17th century, and was mostly pursued by well-to-do aristocrats with time on their hands. These researchers wanted to trumpet their findings and, with no internet or telephones, had to resort to posting letters to a few of their fellows. This spread new knowledge around a bit, but rather slowly.\nScientists needed a mass publishing system for their reports. An audience with the king was arranged, and in 1660 Charles II chartered the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge. The world’s first scientific journal soon followed, published by this new Royal Society.\nIts printing press wasn’t cheap, and neither was the printing itself, so the Fellow of the Royal Society managing the journal ran it like a business and charged for copies. Scientific publishing was now a business and it grew rapidly.\nSome 350 years later, scientific publishing is a very big business indeed, bringing in well over A$4 billion of revenue a year. Unfortunately, many of these billions are earned by publishers who charge exorbitant fees for a subscription to their journals. It’s easy money, and comes mostly from universities and governments.\nThe icing on the cake is that those not associated with a subscribing university or research institution pay a fee for each article they download.\nElsevier is the largest science publisher with more than 2,000 scientific journals. In 2010, Elsevier reported profits had reached 36% of revenue. This is absolutely whopping at a time when the internet has greatly reduced or eliminated the profits of newspaper, magazine and book publishers.\nMassive profits are great for the company’s shareholders, but bad for researchers, universities, and everyone who might benefit from scientific knowledge.\nWe’re mired in a system that wastes taxpayers’ money and unnecessarily restricts the flow of new knowledge. We scientists would like our journals to be “open access” – with the door of the journal’s website always open so anyone can visit and download our articles.\nThe largely for-profit publishing system particularly galls because we scientists do most of the work, but the publishers make all the money. For most journals, scientists not only write all the manuscripts submitted to them, but also vet and edit all these manuscripts before they are published – the peer-review process – all without receiving a cent for their services.\nIn a free market, one would expect lower-cost publishers to eventually win the day. But scientists, and the administrators who assess us, are so attached to the prestige of the older journal titles that new journals typically don’t get much traction.\nThe prestige of the journal that our articles are published in is often used by administrators as a measure of the quality of our work.\nThis is not a good way to assess research quality, and makes us even more beholden to the publishers that own the prestigious journal titles.\nFor a long time my feelings about this alternated between despair and anger, but eventually I learned to laugh. A colleague and I created a video satirising the publishers, which we shared on YouTube and can be seen below.\nOur video, together with hundreds of blog posts on the topic, opinion pieces, and sundry rantings posted to Facebook and Twitter, have helped inform the scientific populace about the economic context of what they do.\nIn the past few months, boycotts of Elsevier and of the subscription model generally have begun, organised through websites created by individual scientists. I created OpenAccessPledge, which was quickly followed by ResearchWithoutWalls and TheCostOfKnowledge.\nThe last of these has attracted, in less than three weeks, more than 3,900 researchers pledging to withdraw their labour from Elsevier journals.\nIt’s too early to know what the effects of this, but I predict these actions, together with the discussions among researchers they propel, will result in at least a few communities of researchers discarding their traditional publishing system in favour of an open-access model.\nThe protests may also cause some publishers to reduce their lobbying against open access, in an effort to quell the uprising.\nSo far, researchers in areas such as biology and medicine have not signed up for the boycotts in large numbers, probably because these fields are particularly caught up in the traditional journal system. Refusing to work with prestigious journals can undermine one’s career prospects.\nIf everyone in the field simultaneously agreed to boycott those journals, it would be better for all, but failing that we are all trapped in an unhappy situation. This type of conundrum, whereby individuals alone cannot bring about change, is essentially a form of the tragedy of the commons, or the problem of collective action.\nBut where this problem stymies individuals, government agencies can sometimes effect wholesale change with the stroke of a pen. In 2007, the American National Institutes of Health began requiring articles produced by the researchers they fund to be available free of charge within 12 months of publication.\nIn the UK, the Wellcome Trust and the Research Councils UK soon followed suit with their own open access mandates, and these policies have been very successful. Unfortunately, in Australia we are yet to see a single such mandate from the research councils (such as the Australian Research Council (ARC) or National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)).\nSome universities, including the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), have leapt ahead and already require nearly all their research outputs be freely available.\nThis is usually achieved by posting their researchers’ manuscripts in digital repositories that can be accessed online. Older Australian universities such as Sydney have begun taking some steps forward but have not yet implemented anything as strong as the QUT policy.\nMandating free access to their research outputs is a straightforward way for universities and governments to solve much of the problem, but we’ll also need university and government funds to help grow the digital repositories and other new models of publishing. The non-profit Public Library of Science, among others, uses an “author-pays” publishing system.\nThe researchers who submit a manuscript are charged a fee to cover the costs associated with peer review and internet publishing. Readers pay nothing – everything is free to download. Thanks to the wisdom of government research funders in the UK, government-funded scientists there receive dedicated funds to publish with open-access “author pays” publishers. Not so here in Australia.\nGovernments and large institutions are inherently conservative, and therefore must be pressured to discard old and inefficient ways of doing things. So real change often originates at the grassroots, after enough frustration builds that individuals break out of their officially sanctioned procedures and start doing things differently. This is what we’re seeing with the recent protests and creation of new publishing models.\nAn academic spring?\nThe Economist last week compared the anti-publisher efforts by researchers to the anti-government movements of the last year in the Middle East, describing it as an “Academic spring”. That comparison seems a bit grandiose. Still, our goal is important – unfettered access to new knowledge – and we may be at an historic moment.\nIt is time to attack the old, closed ways. But governments and universities must also actively support the new, open systems for disseminating knowledge.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Explain Have a student describe the difference between fantasy and reality.

The same thing is true in every area of human endeavor, such that the law or order of any system can be confused with the system and its existence. Theories of progress attached to the Enlightenment, for example, came to see progress as a product of history. The world is improving, in this theory, and the trajectory of this improvement might be traced in every field – science is progressing, culture is progressing, the human species is progressing, and this progress is not simply a description but is a law which is driving this progress. Human progress in the sciences, in the accumulation of knowledge, in the improvements of medicine, is propelled by an immanent force called progress. The descriptor “progress” becomes its own cause. This was reified in a Newtonian world in which the laws of time and space were not mere descriptions of the way things are but they became the only possibility, such that even God works within these laws productive of reality. Biological evolution can be read as a product of the Enlightenment notion applied to the life sciences. Political science, social science, physics, or simply the advancement of human culture, each seemed to follow the same law. The law of progress is a drive that presumes perfection, utopia, justice, morality, is the end product of this law. In short, life and life more abundant is to be found in the law of progress.\nIntrinsic to the idea of progress is the idea that human society had to progress to the point where it discovered the idea of progress. Just thinking the idea is already a sign that we no longer have to do with ancient thought, Christian thought, or unenlightened thought. Only those who have been enlightened by the thought of progress – the key thought of enlightenment – have thought the greatest thought that can be thought (to mix periods if not ideas). This is the most cherished idea of the enlightenment and the thought itself is a sign of what it speaks. Only a true modern could have conceived of this idea as it is only now, in this modern period, that the ideas of fate and of the fall have been defeated in notions of a real world (as opposed to other-worldly) progress.\nAll of which is, of course, simply untrue, as Ludwig Edelstein provides us with The Idea of Progress in Antiquity, filled out by W.K.C. Guthrie, in his In the Beginning and E.R. Dodds, The Ancient Concept of Progress, and F.J. Teggart’s, Theory of History, each of which inform us the idea of progress is an ancient notion. As Edelstein sums it up, the ancients “formulated most of the thoughts and sentiments that later generations down to the nineteenth century were accustomed to associate with the blessed or cursed word progress.” The modern idea of progress, the central achievement of the enlightenment, a proof that proves itself, turns out to be an ancient idea traceable throughout human history.\nMy point here is not simply to point out the self-refuting, tautologous, or absurd nature of the idea of progress, but it is to suggest that this idea is a manifestation of a form of thought which endlessly repeats itself. Life is in the law, philosophy contains the truth, I think therefore I am, God is the greatest thought that can be thought, and progress is an idea that gives us itself, are all manifestations of the same tautologous system. It is a closed form of thought which presumes thought, or the symbolic order, or the law, or philosophy, can deliver life, truth, or God. In this understanding, truth is a method that simply has to be applied to confirm the method as it produces the truth. The law is the law, or progress is its own proof, or, as Anselm will describe it, do what I am doing now in thinking the greatest thought. Each is an irrefutable proof made irrefutable on the terms of having the thought, believing the idea, or sharing the insight.\nAs Thomas Kuhn demonstrates, normal science cannot challenge the paradigm of normal science (with its notion of progress), because the paradigm is itself equated with the scientific method. Normal science, as he describes it, is written in texts uniquely exemplified by the observations, laws, and theories described in their pages (what we are doing now). Science is a constellation of facts, theories, and methods collected in current texts and scientists are those who do the collecting. Scientists are those who apply the method and have added to the ever-growing stockpile of scientific knowledge and if one would challenge the method or stockpile, by definition this person is not a scientist. There is no backward movement in science as science is a method that deploys progress as part of its method. Kuhn’s introduction of the false starts and backward movement of history and humanity into the sciences is a challenge to normal science, which presumes these are somehow excluded. The method is, after all, the truth.\nThe Einsteinian revolution not only revolutionizes physics, but in Kuhn’s telling, it is a key example of the new understanding of paradigms and of science, which Kuhn is developing. Einstein revolutionizes science by incorporating humanity into the method – time is relative to an observer. Though the popularization of this notion makes of it more than what Einstein meant in his theory of relativity, this is the significance Kuhn links (but does not necessarily attribute to Einstein) to paradigm shifts and their grounding in the human condition. Einstein’s fusion of space/time and his notion that this continuum bends, that the universe has a beginning, and that time is relative to an observer, changes up the meaning of scientific law and scientific method. The law as productive of order has its limits, whether we are speaking of the laws of the universe or the method of science. Einstein does not refute Newtonian laws, but he suggests that they have a limited application, which is a refutation of their absoluteness. Non-absolute or relative law was not, however, a thought that even Einstein was comfortable with; a discomfort he expressed with quantum mechanics.\nI presume that the key biblical insight, repeated in a variety of forms, is a refutation of any system which would fold in on itself and continually reproduce itself. The notion that the sacrificial system of the temple is an end in itself is refuted by the prophetic witness which culminates in the claim “sacrifice and burnt offering I (God) never desired” (Heb. 10:8). Whether it is the food laws, the sabbath laws, or simply the law per se, the biblical witness is that there is no life in the law. To presume that the scriptures or the letter of the law contains life or that it is an absolute, is equated with death. The Sabbath was made for man and not the other way round. The letter of the law, or the scriptures, or the law of the mind, or the law of the body, are relative, finite, created, and limited. The law of sin and death describes the absolutizing of the law and it is this all-encompassing law which Christ overturned in his resurrection.\nStrangely, and as its name implies, contractual theology presumes the law is absolute. The law is a perfect expression of God’s righteous character and human failure to live up to the law is definitive of sin. The punishment for sin is a balancing of the books, as God’s honor has been impugned and his legal/righteous requirement is set right through punishment. In a contractual reading of how we know God, it is assumed we can know all we really need on the basis of a natural (law) understanding. God is known as omnipotent and omniscient from the cosmos through reason and conscience and this knowledge makes all people legally culpable. God’s ethical demands are clear to Jews through the law and innately (the law written on the heart) by everyone else, so that reward and punishment are determined on the basis of keeping the law. Humans are sinful and everyone violates the law or fails to meet its ethical demands, and honest introspection reveals this fact so that everyone knows they are damned (all rational people are afraid and want a way out). Luckily, Christ offers a resolution to the double problem of knowing God in his omniscient justice, knowing the law, knowing of one’s incapacity to keep the law, and being afraid of one’s deserved punishment. He provides the legal balance in his death. Believing in his death, somehow adds the legal benefits he accrues to the believer. (In this system one knows just enough to be legally culpable and yet cannot know or do enough to be legally exculpable.)\nThe alternative to this misconstrued legal knowing is what Paul describes as resurrection knowing. As he describes in both Romans and Philippians, there is knowing grounded in the law and this is contrasted with what he describes (in 2 Cor 3) as resurrection knowing. Apart from knowing the resurrected Jesus one is bound by sin and death (the law of sin and death) in which state one has believed a lie (Ro 1:18ff, 7:7ff; Php 3:10-11). This lie is the lie which contractual theology repeats, but which every system which would make the law absolute repeats. Paul’s proclamation is that there is no available light (natural law adequate for righteousness), there is no possibility of arriving (through the law) at absolute truth as one is given over to a lie (the lie that the law, made absolute, contains life). Resurrection knowing (knowing by the power of resurrection) is guided by the Spirit and Paul contrasts this with knowing according to the letter of the law which kills (II Cor. 3:6).\nIn contractual theology God is known as a just, law giving, angry judge such that a theodicy (the answer to the problem of evil is that God causes it) is extrapolated (by Calvin) as flowing out of the character of God. Paul says, the death and resurrection of Christ is the vindicating act of God (Rom. 4:25). It is not simply that he is making things legally right but he is bringing about justice and righteousness in the world. God’s justice in this understanding is not focused on application of law but deliverance from death (as the orientation to death is what is wrong and what needs to be made right). God is the one who delivers from the punishing effects of sin and death, and this is his righteousness (Ro 8:1).\nThe contractual form of the Christian faith poses the wrong problem (God’s anger), gives us the wrong answer (law is satisfied through the death of Christ – law being the main thing), and concludes death and resurrection are secondary to the main problem (God’s wrath due to the transgression of the law). It divides out ethics and says righteousness is a legality (on the part of God and in the answer), as it does not bring about a real or necessary change (it is legally imputed). A religion which imagines God must punish the sinner as the law requires it, which then says he does not punish the sinner, but punishes a perfectly righteous man instead, and then attributes his righteousness to the sinner, is working in the very abstract legal fiction which the New Testament consistently refutes. Paul describes himself as perfect in regard to the law and the chief of sinners. Jesus ministry is a continual challenge to the law – “you have heard it said, but I say unto you.” He points out that the sick need a physician, the blind need to see, and the point of the sabbath is not to obstruct human need but to serve it. The law is a death dealing instrument where it is not relativized by love, as this is its true purpose which Jesus fulfills in the law of the Spirit. “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death” (Ro 8:2).\nWhere resurrection is understood as the answer to the problem, law is not a primary category but the focus is on the misorientation to the law resulting in a living death. The system that imagines life is in the knowledge of good and evil, life is in progress, life is the symbolic order, is called the law of sin and death. Law in the lie that is sin, is thought to be a means to life and this “life in the law” sort of life is a living death. Yet the economy of salvation in contractual theory is presumed to operate on the basis of this lie in regard to the law.\nPaul says that apart from the resurrection of Christ you are still in your sins (I Cor. 15:17) because sin reigns through death and death no longer reigns only where Christ’s death and resurrection have defeated the orientation to death. Without the resurrection the redemptive, liberating effect of Christ’s death remains ineffective, for his death and resurrection are two sides of the redemption from the bondage to sin and death. New life (resurrection life) is the direct correlate of this delivery from bondage to the slavery of fear of death.\nSo, whether it is the law of progress, the laws of physics, or the law of Moses, the failed human tendency is to make this symbolic order absolute. Language or law is made to serve in place of life. The resurrection relativizes every law, pointing to the one who is above and over the law and who holds the power of resurrection life.\n Faith and I recently watched the National Geographic dramatization of Einstein, which depicted Niels Bohr quoting Einstein to Einstein, who had challenged the absolute nature of Newtonian law. Bohr suggested he was not willing to apply his own critique to himself in his refusal to believe that physical systems have only probabilities and that specific properties are a by-product of being measured. Einstein’s relativity theory is stretched by quantum mechanics, as it not only incorporates the human observer into the equation but makes his observation a determining factor in the outcome. This was too relative for the Father of relativity, as Einstein argued that entities such as electrons have an independent reality. He summed up his view with, “God does not play dice,” and as he would later explain, “What we call science has the sole purpose of determining what is.”", "label": "No"} {"text": "This book argues that psychiatry's love affair with the diagnosis of depression has become a death grip. Depression is a real illness, especially in its melancholic form. But most patients who get the diagnosis of 'depression' are also anxious, fatigued, unable to sleep, have all kinds of physical symptoms, and tend to obsess about the whole thing. They do not have a disorder of 'mood'. It is a travesty to call them all 'depressed.' How did this happen? How did everyone become depressed? A well-known historian, the author describes how in the 19th century patients with those symptoms were considered 'nervous,' and when they lost control it was a 'nervous breakdown.' Then psychiatry turned its back on the whole concept of nerves, and - first under the influence of Freud's psychoanalysis and then the influence of the pharmaceutical industry - the diagnosis of depression took center stage. The result has been a scientific disaster, leading to the misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment (with antidepressants) of millions of patients.\nUrging that the diagnosis of depression be re-thought, the book turns a dramatic page in the understanding of psychiatric symptoms that are as common as the common cold. The book makes an immediate contribution to the debate about DSM5, which is due to be released very soon, in terms of discussing the diagnosis of depression. The author controversially proposes replacing the diagnosis of 'major depression' with 'melancholia' and 'nonmelancholia'; he argues that depression and anxiety usually occur together and are really the same disease; and he says that patients with so-called mood disorders really have a disorder of the entire body.

Behavior in her classroom was measured against these two rules. Spitting is disrespectful, therefore it was against the rules. With this simplified approach to behavior, Johnson's whole classroom dynamic changed.\nIf you look closely, Johnson's rule number one is a value statement and rule number two, which is more explicit and precise, is a rule.\nFamily Rules Are Your Family Values in Action\nFamily rules are more specific than the values expressed in your family value statement. They are how the general values are expressed in the real world. To define family rules for your family, sit down with your partner (yes, just the two of you for this discussion; it's not a kid thing) and go over the list of suggested topics below. You'll see that the potential for rules is endless. Some of the topics you may want to write a rule for, some not, and there may be a variety of topics I haven't included here. Remember:\n- Keep your rule list sparse; the fewer there are, the more power each rule will have.\n- Developing your list will probably take you more than one sitting.\n- Write down your rules and review them the next day.\n- The very process of discussing these issues with your parenting partner may lead to some very interesting conversations—and potential conflicts to be resolved. It's worthwhile to air these differences before they become household issues, even if you decide not to have any “official” family rules.\n- Remember that family rules apply to everybody. If the rules are only for the kids, or if they're supposed to be for everybody but you break them, you're saying, “I'm the one in power (ha-ha, you're not),” “I'm an adult so I matter, you're a kid so you don't,” and “Just wait until you grow up. Then you can break all the rules you want.” Say you make a family rule that everybody's room has to be kept presentable. If your bedroom remains swallowed by piles of clothes, old papers, and dirty dishes, you're just about assured that your child's will look the same.\nEven if you love rules, don't even begin to think you can make family rules to cover every contingency. As a matter of fact, the fewer rules the better!Try this Family Rules Definition Exercise", "label": "No"} {"text": "Your uterus is a wonderful organ, making the creation of new human life possible. For all its wonder, it is also subject to diseases such as uterine cancer. Identification and elimination of this disease is critical in its early stages, as left untreated it can spread to the rectum, bladder, vagina, ovaries, or other organs throughout the body. Thankfully uterine cancer typically grows very slowly and is often identified before it progresses very far.\nAm I At Risk For Uterine Cancer?\nThe most commonly occurring form of uterine cancer is known as endometrial cancer and is almost exclusively a concern for women over the age of 40. Of these women, there are factors that have been shown to increase their risk of developing this disease. Those who are most at risk are over 40 years of age and:\n- Began menstruating early\n- Suffer from obesity\n- Experienced a late menopause\n- Haven’t had children, or have had few children\n- Have experienced irregular periods, infertility, or have had abnormal cells in the endometrium.\n- Are genetically predisposed to it due to colorectal, endometrial, or breast cancer in the family.\nThose who are treating breast cancer with tamoxifen have also been shown to have an increased risk of developing endometrial cancer.\nWhat Can I Do To Prevent Endometrial Cancer?\nWhile endometrial cancer cannot be actively prevented, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing it. Women on birth control have been shown to have a lower risk of developing this condition. Lowering your weight, healthy eating, and staying active also play a role in reducing the possibility of developing this disease.\nWhat Symptoms Indicate the Presence of Endometrial Cancer?\nOne of the reasons that receiving regular exams is vital to women’s health is diseases like endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. One thing that both these conditions share in common is that they don’t typically demonstrate any symptoms until they have spread beyond the uterus or cervix. The most common symptoms that can identify endometrial cancer are:\n- Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding – Heavy, irregular, or ongoing vaginal bleeding is considered abnormal in premenopausal women. Any bleeding that occurs in women who are postmenopausal is considered abnormal.\n- Vaginal Discharge – Foul-smelling, thick, water, pink, or brown discharge.\n- Uterus Enlargement – This is detectable during a uterine exam.\n- Unexpected Weight Loss – A common symptom of cancer\n- Weakness – Experienced in the legs, back, or lower abdomen, a sign cancer has spread\nIf you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, especially abnormal discharge or bleeding, it’s time to reach out to our clinic. While this form of cancer is uncommon in premenopausal women, it’s better to have it checked out if you have any concerns.

Our central goal is to produce students with a well-rounded knowledge of the discipline and a set of skills that serve as a basis for careers in any number of fields after graduation.\nThe study of political science provides an excellent basis to learn new skills and knowledge that can be applied in nearly any field. As a discipline, the focus of study is on the political process and institutions of various political systems, including the United States. However, the analysis of politics and government often involves other disciplines, such as history, economics, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, business, criminal justice, etc. This explicitly multi-disciplinary approach contributes to well-rounded graduates, which naturally leads them into a wide variety of careers. Moreover, the major emphasizes examining problems from multiple perspectives, attention to factual details, and the need to continually develop and revise broader theoretical ideas. This academic experience is later utilized by graduates in whatever careers they choose to pursue.\nThe Political Science program emphasizes the development of a key set of skills that will enhance a graduate’s long-term career prospects. Specifically, our courses highlight the importance of reading comprehension, critical and analytical thinking, and written and oral communication skills. For students that choose advanced educational opportunities after graduation, such as law school or graduate school, these skills serve as an essential foundation for future academic success. Other students prefer to directly enter the workforce and these same skills are widely applicable in politics, business, journalism, public administration, criminal justice, communications, marketing, and research. Put simply, the emphasis on skills is designed to allow our graduates to excel in almost any career path. Indeed, our recent graduates have selected careers related to politics, government, business, education, law, and criminal justice.\nStudents in the program develop a broad body of knowledge about politics and government that serves two further goals. First, the factual basis of government and politics is the subject that we use to develop key skills—reading, analysis, and communication. Knowing the basic structures of government and the rules of political behavior is the basis for contrasting and applying different ideological and philosophical perspectives on politics. Second, a strong knowledge-base serves to help students (and ultimately graduates) exercise leadership and civic engagement. In other words, knowledge of political systems affords students an important advantage to engage in political participation and advocacy.\nThe curriculum in Political Science reflects our wide-ranging perspective on politics, with courses that range from US politics to regional politics and international relations. These include courses on the presidency and Congress, state and local politics, campaigns and elections, civic engagement and participation, US foreign policy, and courts and the Constitution. The department also offers courses about specific regions, such as Latin America and the Middle East, as well as thematic courses about global democratization, political economy, terrorism, human rights and international activism, and international organizations. Moreover, students are encouraged to take additional courses with significant political content outside of the department.\nThe Political Science major requires a total of 37 credits (typically 13 courses) and provides students maximum flexibility to pursue their interests. Only four courses are specifically required: the foundation courses in each of the three major subfields (American politics, comparative politics, and international relations) and one course in social science methodology. Remaining courses may be selected by the student based on interest and availability. In most cases, courses are relatively small and students receive individual attention. Political Science majors work closely with advisers throughout the program to select appropriate courses in both the discipline and the General Education program (required of all graduates). As a small—but growing—program, we work to serve the varied needs and interests of our majors as we prepare them for the highly competitive global workforce.\nAll majors are encouraged, but not required, to consider three key opportunities at Mansfield University. First, we strongly support the study of a foreign language. Developing a foreign language skill requires hard work and dedication, but the benefits include a better understanding of global culture, a way of distinguishing a graduate from the competition, and the further honing of critical thinking skills. Second, we urge majors to take advantage of our extensive study abroad options. A semester-long experience in any foreign country teaches students about the target country, about the US, and about themselves. In most cases, students can take courses toward the major (and the General Education requirements) while overseas. Some study abroad options do not require foreign language experience. Last, we highly recommend that our majors gain some practical work experience through internships. We have placed full-time interns in both Washington DC and Harrisburg, working for government agencies and interest groups. Part-time internships can be arranged locally during the semester and over the summer. Up to 6 credits may be applied toward the major; all credits count toward graduation requirements.\nOur program will:\n- Provide an academically challenging curriculum based on the sub-fields of political science: American politics, comparative politics (politics within countries), and international relations (politics among countries).\n- Promote independent thinking, thorough analysis, and critical perspectives on issues and problems.\n- Instill an appreciation for the complexities of politics and the importance of civic engagement.\nThe student will:\n- identify and explain underlying principles, actors, institutions, and processes associated with political science.\n- relate current events to political science.\n- construct analytical arguments supported with evidence.\n- investigate political phenomena using social science methods.\n- communicate ideas and information in an effective manner.\nThere are a total of 37 credits needed for a B.A. in Political Science. All majors must take the following required courses (16 credits):\n- PHL 2205 Law, Morality and Authority\n- PSC 2201 Introduction to American Government\n- PSC 2210 Introduction to International Relations\n- PSC 2212 Introduction to Comparative Politics\n- PSC 3308 Social Science Research Methods\n- PSC 4444 Political Science Seminar (1 credit)\nStudents must also take an additional 21 credits of political science electives. However, 15 of the 21 credits must be from an upper division political science course (3000 or 4000 level).\nStudents are also required to select a minor (in consultation with their adviser) unless they have completed the second year of a foreign language.\nProgram taught in:", "label": "No"} {"text": "“‘But do you know that there are half a million more women than men in this happy country of ours?[…] Something like that, they say. So many odd women—no making a pair with them. The pessimists call them useless, lost, futile lives…I look upon them as a great reserve…’” (Gissing 44). Rhoda Nunn’s concern for the future of the “odd women,” who far outnumber the population of men and remain unmarried, is one of the many undercurrents found throughout George Gissing’s 1893 novel The Odd Women. Set in the overcrowded, industrial, and overwhelming late-Victorian London, Gissing’s pessimistic novel of decay and devolution investigates the anxieties facing Victorian society, brought about by overpopulation. The Odd Women portrays the plight of the New Woman within the context of this changing paradigm, as Gissing’s hysterical “odd women” negotiate their way through London in a deluge of people and technology. The tone of Gissing’s novel creates a pervasive sense of melancholic anxiety that is indicative of the late-Victorian devolution/degeneracy debates that dominated the 1890s. Noting this pervasive tone, Nicholas Shrimpton argues that the nineteenth century saw a series of philosophical and psychological waves of pessimism, which culminated in the pessimism at this time. He writes that\nChristians, positivists, and Hegelians continued to insist that the world was essentially a good place, and that the pattern of history was progressive. Pessimists responded with a view of existence summed up by one of the aphorisms in Schopenhauer’s Parerga und Paralipomena of 1851: ‘No rose without a thorn. But many a thorn without a rose’…the contest between optimism and pessimism was a prominent feature of the intellectual life of the late nineteenth century. (42-43)\nGissing’s The Odd Women adds to this debate on pessimism and decay by setting the tone of the interaction between the disenfranchised “odd women” and the overpopulated and dehumanizing city of London. The goal of this project is to investigate the social and philosophical functions of Gissing’s novel and show that by addressing the anxieties of his day about the future place of the individual within the overpopulated, industrial city, his text contributed to the growing hysteria facing the late-Victorian period. By placing Gissing’s text within the context of the degeneration/devolution novels of the 1890s, I intend to show that Gissing’s novel allows him to draw on and contribute to the philosophical and intellectual debates of his time by illustrating the philosophical/psychological impact of the industrial city and its overpopulation on the individual.\nIn a New Historicist reading of Gissing’s The Odd Women, I intend to look at Gissing’s representation of overpopulation in order to show that the anxiety and “hysteria” seen in Gissing’s novel is an extension of the devolution and degeneracy debates of the 1890s. In looking at the way Gissing addresses the “population problem,” I intend to show, in a Malthusian vein, that the “odd women’s” misery is symptomatic of the miseries of overpopulation. In looking at the historical population statistics of Victorian England, I aim to show that Victorian Britain, spurred by the industrial and technological advances brought about by the Industrial Revolution, effectively avoided the Malthusian population “checks,” but that these very technological advances produced the misery seen in The Odd Women. By investigating the population “boom” of the mid-to-late Victorian period, I plan on showing that Gissing’s overpopulated and over-stimulated London is the genesis of the many social and industrial problems addressed in his novel.\nThe fin de siècle marked a turning point in Victorian society and was illustrated in a new trend in literature, which attempted to understand this social, economic, and industrial paradigm shift. Shrimpton argues that the pessimistic philosophies that began circulating in the mid-nineteenth century had spread to the literary discipline by the century’s end. In particular, Shrimpton writes that it was the “second wave” of pessimism, dominated by the Romantic movement, and exacerbated by Matthew Arnold, that was a driving force in the Victorian “anxieties” about technology, population, and, most importantly, the future. He writes that “[i]t was an economist rather than a poet, however, who provided the most influentially pessimistic statement of the Romantic period. Thomas Robert Malthus’s Essay on the Principle of Population (1793) was an empirical study of the way in which population outstrips food supply” (51). For Shrimpton, the authors of the 1890s caught on to this “climate” of pessimism and sought to express it in their works. He writes that “English writers in the late nineteenth century [and notes Gissing in particular] were feeling the effects of the third of the three great—and increasingly powerful—waves of modern philosophical pessimism” (49). The pessimism of which Shrimpton writes was illustrative of the artistic and literary Aesthetic movement, as artists turned to artistic disciplines in order to try to come to terms with the anxieties concerning social devolution and degeneration.\nAccording to degeneration and devolution theorists and writers, late-nineteenth century civilization had evolved as far as possible and risked devolving back into its more “primitive” state. As early as 1880, Edwin Lankester attempted to place the “problem” of degeneration in its connection to Darwinian evolution and the ability of humanity to adapt to the evolving environment. He writes that “[d]egeneration may be defined as a gradual change of the structure in which the organism becomes adapted to less varied and less complex conditions of life…” (3). For Lankester, the threat of degeneration lay in the possibility that humanity, having reached its pinnacle of “civilization,” could no longer adapt to changing environmental conditions; in this instance, environmental conditions were becoming more and more industrial, as an overpopulated society turned to technology in order to assuage the problems of population. In this way, the individual was becoming unable to “adapt” to the evolving conditions of life, thereby risking “devolving” into a more primitive state. Lankester writes that “[t]he traditional history of mankind furnishes us with notable examples of degeneration. High states of civilisation have decayed and given place to low and degenerate states. At one time it was a favourite doctrine that the savage races of mankind were degenerate descendants of the higher and civilised aces” (4). In a similar line, science fiction and science writer H.G. Wells takes Lankester’s concept further, as he notes the social ramifications of biological devolution of the individual. Using the metaphor of zoological species degradation to reinforce the anxieties facing human devolution, Wells writes that\n[i]t has decided that in the past the great scroll of nature has been steadily unfolding to reveal a constantly richer harmony of forms and successively higher grades of being, and it assumes that this ‘evolution’ will continue with increasing velocity under the supervision of its extreme expression—man. This belief, as effective, progressive, and pleasing as transformation scenes at a pantomime, receives neither in the geological record nor in the studies of the phylogenetic embryologist any entirely satisfactory confirmation. (6)\nFor Wells, the threat of devolution and degeneration is clear: one species can only progress so far before it begins to regress on its evolutionary path of progress. And for Gissing’s late-Victorian world, this is seen in the overreliance on technology and industry in order to “survive” in the overpopulated and congested city. Wells writes that “…degradation may perhaps suffice to show that there is a good deal to be found in the work of biologists quite inharmonious with such phrases as ‘the progress of ages,’ and the ‘march of mind.’ The zoologist demonstrates that advance has been fitful and uncertain; rapid progress has often been followed by rapid extinction or degeneration” (12). For Lankester, Wells, and Gissing alike, this hysterical anxiety about the trajectory of mankind and mankind’s ability to survive (and thrive) in an overpopulated and industrial world dominated the aesthetics of the late nineteenth century. The various trends that marked the late-nineteenth century Aesthetic movement captured the hysterical pessimism of these debates on devolution and degeneracy and illustrated them through their various art forms.\nThe rise of the Aesthetic movement offered a new literary form in which to voice and illustrate the anxieties facing late-nineteenth century England, in particular, the pessimistic debates on devolution. Tracing the rise of “The Decadent Movement in Literature,” Arthur Symons writes that\n[t]he most representative literature of the day [for Symons, 1893]…is certainly not classic, nor has it any relation with that old antithesis of the Classic, the Romantic. After a fashion it is no doubt a decadence: an intense self-consciousness, a restless curiosity in research, an over-subtilizing refinement upon refinement, a spiritual and moral perversity. If what we call the classic is indeed the supreme art…then this representative literature of today, interesting, beautiful, novel as it is, is really a new and beautiful and interesting disease. (105)\nThis degenerate and “diseased” literature of which Symons writes is the aesthetic fulfillment of the degeneracy/devolution debates of which Wells and Lankester were warning, and one might add, predicting. This highly decadent, over-the-top literature relies, according to Symons, on “la nervose” and is a product of the “maladie fin de siècle”, which contributes to the hysteria of the collapse and devolution of society (105). This, as Joyce Carol Oates argues, is the “Aesthetics of Fear.” Though tracing the historical/aesthetic function of the role of horror and fear in literature, Oates writes that “[w]e can presume that the aesthetic fear is not an authentic fear but an artful simulation of what is crude, inchoate, nerve-driven and ungovernable in life; its evolutionary advantage must be the preparation for the authentic experience, unpredictable and always imminent” (176). This “diseased” and decadent literature of the late-nineteenth century is the fear-mongering fruition of the “pessimistic” debates on devolution (and, as will be pointed out later, the culmination of the late-Victorian debates on population, overcrowding, and, inherently, industrialization). Symons writes that\n…this literature is certainly typical of a civilization grown over-luxurious, over-inquiring, too languid for the relief of action, too uncertain for any emphasis in opinion or in conduct. It reflects the moods, all the manners, of a sophisticated society: its very artificiality is a way of being true to nature: simplicity, sanity, proportion…how much do we possess them in our life, our surroundings, that we should look to find them in our literature—so evidently the literature of a decadence? (106)\nThis decadent literature highlights all of the social, political, and economic ills of the late nineteenth century. Studying the social, and one could further, devolutionary, effects of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Oates writes that “Stoker was dramatizing the clash of Darwinian evolutionary theory with traditional Christian-humanist sentiment…In the austere Darwinian model of our beleaguered Earth, the individual counts for virtually nothing; only the species matters, the replication of DNA” (184). For Oates, though she chooses not to call it such, Stoker’s novel is a “degeneracy” novel, illustrating and highlighting the anxieties of Stoker’s time, in this instance, the “progressive march,” of society. Though Oates attempts to place Stoker’s novel within a historical/theological context, if we eliminate any discussion of theology and investigate Stoker’s novel as a historical artifact, we begin to see the Aesthetic function of literature as an illustration of the social and cultural anxieties of its day. Similarly, this is the function of George Gissing’s The Odd Women.\nFrom the very beginning of his novel, Gissing’s The Odd Women is illustrative of the degeneracy and devolutionary tone infiltrating society during of the 1890s. Robert Selig notes this tone throughout Gissing’s novel, noting that\n[t]he first seven chapters and scattered later ones depict the sufferings of ‘The Odd Women’ [sic] with both sympathy and authentic social detail. The six Madden sisters provide the central examples of unfortunate single females. Their father has given them genteel educations but dies without leaving them a large enough income to support genteel ways. Within 10 years three have suffered early deaths, and three struggle on ill-paid and degrading work[…] (62)\nThis tone is the undercurrent for the entire novel and Gissing introduces the reader to it from the very beginning. The novel opens with an introduction to the Madden family, as Alice Madden remembers her mother while she speaks with her father, Dr. Madden, about the family’s precarious future. Gissing writes:\nMrs. Madden, having given birth to six daughters, had fulfilled her function in this wonderful world; for two years she had been resting in the old churchyard that looks upon the Severn sea…A sweet, calm, unpretending woman; admirable in the domesticities; in speech and thought distinguished by a native refinement, which in the most fastidious eyes would have established her claim to the title of a lady. She had known but little repose, and secret anxieties told upon her countenance long before the final collapse of health. (5-6)\nWhat is interesting to note in Gissing’s description of the late Mrs. Madden is her temperament; in this way, the Maddens embody the “anxieties” of the future that we see in figures like Symons, Wells, and Lankester. Though the Maddens hail from the remote coastal town of Clevedon, it is clear that Mrs. Madden, described as a “sweet, calm” woman, lacks the evolutionary ability to “adapt” to her surroundings, even in the remote countryside, and therefore declines, devolves, and dies away. As if to reiterate the melancholic anxious tone of the novel and press his point further, by the end of the first chapter, after Dr. Madden has run an errand to escort home a family friend, Rhoda Nunn, news of the Doctor’s trip alters the Madden sisters’ futures irreparably. Gissing writes:\n[…]Dr. Madden, driving back from Kingston Seymour, had been thrown from his vehicle, and lay insensible at a roadside cottage[…]For some time the doctor had been intending to buy a new horse; his faithful old roadster was very weak in the knees. As in other matters, so in this, postponement became fatality; the horse stumbled and fell, and its driver was flung head forward into the road. Some hours later they brought him to his home, and for a day or two there were hopes that he might rally. But the sufferer’s respite only permitted him to dictate and sign a brief will; this duty performed, Dr. Madden closed his lips forever. (10)\nDr. Madden’s death throws the family into a tailspin as sister after sister dies as they venture into the “maddening,” overwhelming city of London in an attempt to survive. Gissing chronicles the various sisters’ fates as they slowly dwindle in numbers. He writes that “Gertrude and Martha were dead; the former of consumption, the other drowned by the over-turning of a pleasure boat[…]Alice plied her domestic teaching; Virginia remained a ‘companion.’ Isabel, now aged twenty, taught in a Board School at Bridgwater, and Monica, just fifteen, was on the point of being apprenticed to a draper at Weston, where Virginia abode” (15). Once the sisters reach a point of “stability,” the struggle for survival catches up with them, overwhelming them in an age of overpopulation and over-industrialization. Gissing writes that “Isabel was soon worked into illness. Brain trouble came on, resulting in melancholia. A charitable institution ultimately received her, and there, at two-and-twenty, the poor hard-featured girl drowned herself in a bath” (emphasis added, 16). It is quickly obvious that life in the overcrowded, industrial, and “maddening” city has its effects on the individual. Gissing’s novel picks up with the three remaining sisters struggling, where their other sisters could not adapt (in a Malthusian and Darwinian sense), for survival. The fact that Gissing introduces the reader to an entire family, only to end up with over half of the family dead within the first two chapters sets up the tone for the entire novel. Throughout the novel, one begins to see how Gissing’s London affects the individual on an “organic” level.\nAs if anticipating the “pessimism” debates that marked the 1890s hysteria of devolution and degeneracy , Malthus’ 1798 essay on population examines the unstable trajectory of the future—and the theoretical warning in which Gissing and the Victorians, found themselves one century later: an overpopulated land plagued with dwindling resources (and over-industrialization as society worked, through machines, in order to survive). In language that anticipates the Darwinian struggle for survival, Malthus writes “[…]that the power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man. Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio” (4). For Malthus, population booms are contributed to by increased human industry that allows the population to increase unchecked; however, he argues that the natural resources available for humanity will always dictate the population trajectory. Malthus writes that “[t]he reason that the greater part of Europe is more populous now than it was in former times, is that the industry of the inhabitants has made these countries produce a greater quantity of human subsistence” (17). However, Malthus argues that no matter how many technological and industrial improvements society has made, there are only so many resources physically available in order to sustain a growing population. Similarly, this is the problem we see in Gissing’s London: an overpopulated city has turned to an overreliance on technology to attempt to meet the demands of survival (and Gissing shows us the “cost” of this overreliance throughout his novel). According to Malthus, and one could argue later, in Darwin, the scarcity of resources promotes competition among individuals in order to survive. For Malthus, this struggle for survival is rooted in the trajectory of population, which, when continued unchecked, outstrips all available resources, creating miserable living conditions. He writes that “[…]the superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice, the ample portion of these too bitter ingredients in the cup of human life and the continuance of the physical causes that seem to have produced them bear too convincing a testimony” (11). Thus, as sustenance dwindles, population numbers come in check due to the lack of available resources, essentially creating the “misery” that effectively puts a damper on population growth. The anxieties and hysterics that Malthus forewarns of are exactly part and parcel of the problem that Gissing’s “odd women,” and to a greater extent, the Victorians, faced in the late nineteenth century.\nLate-Victorian Britain marked a turning point in British population growth, as economic and foreign affairs affected the population “boom” made possible by the advances of the Industrial Revolution. In a study of the population demographics of Victorian Britain, Robert Woods notes that “[…]the Victorian period was so important as a [population] turning point in England” (4). For Woods, this “turning point” was marked by a lower mortality rate and higher fertility rates. The implication, as Jeremy Black and Donald MacRaild suggest, is that increased technological and industrial advances allowed such a population boom and prevented the traditional Malthusian checks to population. Black and MacRaild write that Victorian Britain saw a population boom on the scale of which Malthus warned. They write that “[p]opulation grew dramatically in this period without famines[…]in other words, without the ‘positive checks’ on population which were seen as so vital by the Reverend Thomas Malthus[…]” (59). Black and MacRaild argue that the “checks” Malthus warned would produce misery and vice were relatively minimal, due to the technological and industrial gains that produced such a boom. Black and MacRaild state that though Malthus’s “prophesies of a population crisis never occurred,” this population boom clearly put a strain on the new urban-centered English societies (59). What is interesting is that Black and MacRaild focus on the “relief valve” of emigration as a way to help assuage the pressure resulting from the booming population in the absence of Malthusian population checks (59). Historical consensus indicates that the Victorian period marked a break with Malthusian population theory and altered the shape and geography of Britain, resulting in a new “debate” on the population trajectory of British society.\nThe population boom that dominated the Victorian period, made possible by the technological and industrial advances spurred by the Industrial Revolution, altered the very geography of Victorian society. Woods notes that population growth was spurred by an increasingly urban culture (27). Tracing The Population History of England in their seminal study, E.A. Wrigley and R.S. Schofield claim that h, h,istorically London was the epicenter of all population booms and declines. They write that “[i]t was the very size and untypicality [sic] of London that made it seem advisable to make separate estimates of the numbers of ecclesiastical [population] events occurring there and to incorporate them explicitly in the estimated national totals of events[…]” (170). Similarly, Black and MacRaild note that the population growth that dominated Victorian Britain was overshadowed by that which was seen in London, specifically. They write that “[b]etween 1861 and 1911, it [London] burgeoned from 2.8 m[illion] to 4.5 m[illion] inhabitants. While much of this was due to net immigration, natural increase accounted for 85 per cent of all growth by the end of the century” (81). According to Wrigley and Schofield, London’s population “boom” began to take hold at the beginning of the nineteenth century when London comprised 3.6% of the entire total population of England (168). For Wrigley and Schofield, as for Woods, the nineteenth century marked a turning point in London’s population trends, which continued to grow exponentially throughout the rest of the century. Black and MacRaild write that the total population of England in the mid-nineteenth century was 17.93 million, booming to 29 million by the end of the century. While the urban population made up 50.2% of the total population of 17.93 million in 1851, by 1891, the urban population comprised 72% of the 29 million residents of England. Black and MacRaild, similar to Wrigley and Schofield, argue that London, due to its immense size, made up the majority of this “urban population” (80). While the traditional Malthusian checks to population increase were greatly reduced in the new highly-industrialized Victorian England, particularly in London the Victorian population boom produced an overtly new form of society, one that was just as miserable as Malthus’ “lower orders.” As Woods argues, overcrowding and dwindling resources did have an effect on London society. He writes that\n[t]he crowding together of people affected disease patterns, especially those of infectious diseases; it created a more lethal sanitary environment; and it also led to new, higher and more concentrated levels of air pollution. These hazards were faced by all those living in cities, but there were other problems—those associated with poverty and type of employment, with housing and diet—whose effects were borne differentially depending on one’s social group or class. (27-28)\nThis is exactly the society that Gissing and his fellow Aesthetes attempt to illustrate in their late-Victorian novels.\nThe London that Gissing’s Madden sisters inhabit is crowded and over-stimulating, an indication of the overpopulation seen at the end of the nineteenth century. This overcrowding has a clearly visible effect on the individual. After the death of her father, Virginia Madden finds herself living in London with her sister Alice in a small, single-room apartment, struggling to survive. Gissing writes that\nVirginia (about thirty-three) had[…]an unhealthy look, but the poverty, or vitiation, of her blood manifested itself in less unsightly forms[…]For she was rapidly ageing; her lax lips grew laxer, with emphasis of a characteristic one would rather not have perceived there; her eyes sank into deeper hollows; wrinkles extended their net-work; the flesh of her neck wore away. Her tall meagre body did not seem strong enough to hold itself upright. (14)\nIt is clear that the mix of the overpopulated London and lack of resources has taken a toll on Virginia’s health. As she sits down for lunch with her sister, we see the extent of their problem. Gissing writes:\n[t]hey were preparing their mid-day meal, the substantial repast of the day. In a little saucepan on an oil cooking-stove was some plain rice, bubbling, as Alice stirred it. Virginia fetched from downstairs[…]bread, butter, cheese, a pot of preserve, and arranged the table[…]at which they were accustomed to eat. The rice being ready, it was turned out in two portions; made savoury with a little butter, pepper, and salt, it invited them to sit down. (17)\nThe Madden sisters at once illustrate the Malthusian population problems facing London at the end of the nineteenth century: an overpopulated, overcrowded city, struggling (in a Darwinian way) for resources and survival.\nWe see the full effect of the city on the individual when Virginia ventures out to buy a present for her other surviving sister, Monica. Gissing writes that\n“[a] very long walk was before her. She wished to get as far as the Strand book-shops, not only for the sake of choice, but because this region pleased her and gave her a sense of holiday. Past Battersea Park, over Chelsea Bridge, then the weary stretch to Victoria Station, and the upward labour to Charing Cross. Five miles, at least, measured by pavement. But Virginia walked quickly[…]. (22)\nThroughout her “quick walk,” the fast pace of London life takes a toll on Virginia. Gissing makes references to the “anxiety” and “clamorous life” that she finds throughout London. Ultimately, it is this “anxiety” that causes Virginia to turn back from her “holiday.” As she approaches the railroad in order to return home, Gissing writes that “[a]t the entrance [to Charing Cross Station] again she stopped. Her features were now working in the strangest way, as though a difficulty of breathing had assailed her. In her eyes was an eager, yet frightened look; her lips stood apart. Another quick movement, and she entered the station. She went straight to the door of the refreshment room…” (23). Virginia’s movements, like the technologically-driven London environment, become quicker and more mechanical, as she becomes “one” with the industrial, “maddening” city. In the refreshment room, Virginia seeks out solace and begins to establish a pattern and a means of coping with life in the overpopulated and over-stimulated London. Gissing writes that “[b]ending forward, she said to the barmaid in a voice just above a whisper: ‘Kindly give me a little brandy.’ Beads of perspiration were on her face, which had turned to a ghastly pallor. The barmaid, concluding that she was ill, served her promptly and with a sympathetic look” (23). It is clear that the cacophonous city has had an effect on Virginia. By the end of the novel, the extent of Virginia’s drinking problem is clear, as she strives to find a way to survive in London. After the “scandal” of Monica’s “affair,” we see Virginia alone in the room she shares with Alice and Monica, turning once again to gin and water for respite. Gissing writes that this was “[t]he last, the very last, of such enjoyment; so she assured herself[…]If she abstained from strong liquors for three or four days it was now a great triumph; yet worthless, for even in abstaining she knew that the hour of indulgence had only been postponed. A fit of unendurable depression soon drove her to the only resource which had immediate efficacy” (333). Invocative of the vice of which Malthus warned would envelop the working classes, overwhelmed by the overpopulated city and their struggle to survive there, Virginia turns to drink in order to calm her nerves. Gissing writes that\n[h]er bottle was almost empty; she would finish it to-night[…]To sit comfortably at home, the bottle beside her and her novel on her lap, was an avoidance of the worst shame attaching to this vice[…]Brandy had first of all been her drink, as is generally the case with women of the educated classes. There are so many plausible excuses for taking a drop of brandy. But it cost too much. Whiskey she had tried, and did not like. Finally she had recourse to gin, which was palatable and very cheap. (333-334)\nVirginia turns to alcohol to calm her nerves from the over-stimulation wrought by the crowded, fast-paced city. What is clear in Virginia’s alcoholism is that the overpopulated city has had an effect on her, biologically and psychologically.\nJust like Virginia Madden, the few men who populate Gissing’s London are altered radically, essentially devolved, by the influences of the overpopulated city. The first man (of the few) we encounter in the novel is clearly altered by his surroundings. As Monica wanders in the park on her birthday, contemplating her precarious fate, her future husband, Edmund Widdowson, approaches her as she sits in the grass. Gissing writes that\n[t]he gravity of his appearance and manner, the good-natured commonplace that fell from his lips, could not alarm her; a dialogue began, and went on for about half an hour. How old might he be?[…]His utterance fell short of perfect refinement, but seemed that of an educated man. And certainly his clothes were such as a gentleman wears. He had thin, hairy hands, unmarked by any effect of labour; the nails could not have been better cared for. (38)\nEdmund’s appearance indicates, other than his class, that he is “soft” and not used to working with his hands, contrary to the industrial male laborer. The men who populate industrial London are effeminate and weak in this way. As Edmund “courts” Monica, he essentially stalks her, manipulating her through his fits of heightened emotions, effectually bullying her into a miserable marriage. Similarly, Mary Barfoot’s cousin, Everard, is portrayed just as effeminately. After returning to London from his journeys around the world, Everard dines at Mary’s house. Gissing writes that\n[h]e had a tall, muscular frame, and a head of striking outline, with large nose, full lips, deep-set eyes, and prominent eyebrows. His hair was the richest tone of chestnut; his moustache and beard[…]inclined to redness. Excellent health manifested itself in the warm purity of his skin, in his cheerful aspect, and the lightness of his bearing[…]On sitting down, he at once abandoned himself to a posture of the completest [sic] ease, which his admirable proportions made graceful[…]he had a soft voice, and used it with all the discretion of good-breeding, so that at times it seemed to caress the ear. (88)\nThough Everard appears physically healthy and masculine, one could argue that his healthy demeanor is derived from his time abroad and is undermined by his speech and mannerisms. Everard and Edmund are the inverted effete “new men” who counterbalance the populous “new women,” and who take up the traditional “masculine” roles in order to survive in an increasingly effeminate world.\nThe industrial late-Victorian city was overrun with people; however, the people who overran this city were predominantly women, as Gissing’s novel illustrates. This indicates a drastic shift in the population demographics that marked the Victorian population boom. Many factors contributed to the evolving demographic changes in the Victorian industrial city. Black and MacRaild state that “[t]hroughout the century, women outnumbered men. Industrial accidents and wars took a heavier toll on men and accentuated the statistical fact that live female births were anyway more numerous than male” (57). By the time Gissing’s novel appeared in 1893, the population ratio of women to men was 106 to 100 (Black and MacRaild 57). At heart in Gissing’s The Odd Women is the way these women view their function and place within this new, overpopulated, predominantly feminine world.\nThe state of marriage seen in The Odd Women is indicative of the predicament in which late-Victorian women found themselves: outnumbering men proportionately, women in the late-nineteenth century had to turn to other means in order to support themselves. Though one of the population checks for which Malthus advocates is the postponement of marriage, particularly among the “lower orders,” Gissing’s “odd women” do not have that luxury; instead, they are the very women left over after all of the “available” men and women have been “matched.” Poole writes that “[t]he theme of the novel is explicit. The ‘odd women’ are the unwanted, unmarried minority, being quietly crucified on the social fiat that a woman’s role is marriage and motherhood” (186). In lieu of marriage, Gissing’s “odd women” turn to other means in order to survive: education and the professional workforce. This alternative echoes one of Malthus’s positive checks to population growth; however, in Gissing’s novel, this alternative is not simply an alternative, but a means of survival. Emma Liggins writes that “[b]y the early 1890s the female desire for greater economic independence, produced by the lack of financial support available from fathers and the increasing surplus of single women, ensured that more women than ever before felt compelled to enter the labour market” (ix). This “viable solution” appears quite early in Gissing’s novel. When she visits the Madden sisters to “recruit” them, Rhoda Nunn lays out the new mode of survival for women in this overpopulated, industrial society. She states that\nI went to Bristol to learn everything I could that would help me out of school-life. Shorthand, book-keeping, commercial correspondence—I had lessons in them all, and worked desperately for a year [responding to a job offer, Rhoda leaves Bath and moves to London]. It was a move towards London, and I couldn’t rest till I had come the whole way. My first engagement here was as a shorthand writer to the secretary of a company. But he soon wanted some one who could use a type-writer. That was a suggestion. I went to learn type-writing, and the lady who taught me [Mary Barfoot] asked me in the end to stay with her as an assistant. (27)\nRhoda’s practical education serves as a means of survival in the absence of marriage. As an assistant to Mary Barfoot, Rhoda’s career in life is to help train and educate the unmarried “odd women,” so they may survive outside the economic and social institution of marriage. She says that Ms. Barfoot “makes it her object to train young girls for work in offices, teaching them the things that I learnt in Bristol and type-writing as well” (27-28). Ms. Barfoot’s school, in training the “odd women” in the skill of typewriting, allows the unmatchable women to enter the workforce, attempting to support themselves in the absence of eligible bachelors. By taking up traditionally “masculine” white-collar careers, the “odd women” effectively invert their own gender paradigms and “devolve” in the social hierarchy of industrial London society. Outpaced and outstripped of resources, these “odd women” cling to whatever means for survival.\nGissing’s “odd women” negotiate their way through the increasingly industrial, overpopulated London in an attempt to survive in a period that witnessed a population boom on the scale of which Malthus had warned. Through looking at the “debates” surrounding the late-Victorian population boom, we can see how the Victorians themselves were concerned about the overpopulation of the industrial city, in particular, how the dwindling resources (in a Malthusian and Darwinian vein) available to urban residents occupied a special place in Victorian thought and created a sense of social “hysteria.” We see this in the devolutionary/degeneracy debates of the 1890s, as figures like Wells and Lankester debated the ability of mankind to survive life in an (overly-industrialized) overpopulated Victorian (mega) city. Gissing’s novel illustrates these anxieties circulating throughout late-Victorian society concerning futurity, population, sustenance, and cultural progress. While The Odd Women has conventionally been investigated through the feministic cultural work that it performs, when one looks at the philosophical history in which the novel is rooted, it is clear that Gissing’s novel is an approach to the “hysteria” facing late-Victorian England amidst the concerns about the overpopulation of the industrial city, and in particular, the individual’s ability to “adapt” (Darwinistically) to life in this overpopulated, over-industrialized city.\nBlack, Jeremy and Donald M.

Diana Maltz writes that Gissing participated in all forms of the Aesthetic movement, whether the Decadence of Gissing’s early formative years or the anti-Aestheticism, advocated by Walter Pater, in Gissing’s later texts, in particular, The Odd Women.\n It is interesting to note that Symons’ treatise on literary decadence was published in the same year as Gissing’s novel.\n Malthus’ voice sounds remarkably similar to the “doom-and-gloom” pessimists of the late nineteenth century. Very early in his Essay, he writes that “[i]t has been said that the great question is now at issue, whether man shall henceforth start forwards with accelerated velocity towards illimitable, and hitherto unconceived [sic] improvement, or be condemned to perpetual oscillation between happiness and misery, and after every effort remain still at an immeasurable distance from the wished-for goal” (1).\n Peter Bowler makes the correlation between Malthus and Darwin in tracing the two types of struggle. He writes that “[…]the competition between the different individuals of the same species to see which of them shall survive and reproduce[…]” is the very root of the Darwinian, and one could claim, Malthusian, struggle for survival.\n Bowler writes that “[s]ince the supply of food can never be increased at the same rate as the population, the number of births must be artificially limited if misery is to be avoided. But Malthus classed birth control as a vice, and hence came to feel that the only solution lay in teaching the whole population the need for moral restraint” (642).\n Yet the industrial technologies that allowed the Victorian population boom exacerbated the very miseries of life in an overpopulated and over-industrialized world that we see in Gissing’s novel.’\n Widdowson’s audacity to approach a “lady” sitting alone in the park should be a marker for Victorian readers. This is indicative of an imbalance seen in Widdowson, one that is characteristic of his behavior and heightened emotions.\n Everard, who Gissing notes has spent his time traveling the world, in Egypt, Turkey, Spain, and Japan, lives a life of effeminate luxury, the very life denied to the Madden sisters.", "label": "No"} {"text": "art programs in schools\nThe children learn about and paint self-portraits.

Turtles spent about 15 minutes on an inflatable platform being measured and tagged (satellite, flipper, and microchip), having blood drawn (hematology, plasma chemistry analysis, blood gases, and NMR metabolomics), temperature recorded (leatherback sea turtles maintain an internal temperature warmer than their environment), fat thickness determined by ultrasound, and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitored. Thirteen turtles were captured this year, adding to the seven tagged and sampled last year.\nMost of the turtles appeared to be in excellent health, and there were abundant cannonball jellies (Stomolophus meleagris) in the area as a food source, but one turtle had sustained recent (healing) propeller wounds on its shell, and another had a small recreational fishing hook and monofilament line that was removed from a flipper by the researchers.\nVeterinary team members from NC State CVM CMAST and the NC Aquariums included Craig Harms, Michael Stoskopf, Emily Christiansen, Greg Scott, Heather Broadhurst, and Maria Serrano.

This new funding will also allow them to explore new avenues for ECM’s use, including repairing cracks in different types of glass, such as eyeglass lenses, cell phone screens, and car windshields; and develop a program to educate diverse populations of underprivileged girls—in Worcester and in Africa—about engineering and construction.\nAccording to Statista, between 1995 and 2020 worldwide cement production jumped from 1.39 billion to 4.1 billion tons, making it the second-most widely used substance on Earth, next to water. In addition to their efforts to help mitigate the massive climate change impacts created by concrete, Rahbar and Scarlata plan to use the new funding to refine and optimize ECM and the processes to create it, and expand its use to different materials.\nBiological enzymes are catalysts that drive chemical reactions. ECM is made through a process involving an enzyme known as carbonic anhydrase—found in all living cells—that has the unique ability to react with CO2 to rapidly remove the greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. This reaction creates calcium carbonate crystals, which serve as ECM’s main ingredient. A sand slurry is also added, as well as a polymer, which holds the ECM together during its early stages, much like scaffolding does during the construction of a building. Through this process, ECM can “heal itself” and fix cracks or other imperfections that may develop over time, retaining its strength through as many as six self-healing cycles.\nIn addition, the grant will allow Rahbar and Scarlata to develop a program based on their lab work on ECM to educate and inspire underrepresented and underprivileged girls about engineering and construction—an industry where the gender gap is stark; according to OSHA, only 9 percent of construction workers in this country are women.\nThe researchers plan to partner with organizations in Worcester, including the local chapter of Girls Inc., to create summer programs and after-school programs in which girls will design a model building, make a mold for it using 3D printing, and build the structure out of ECM.

While that’s important, it’s also very important to discuss pneumonia as another infection that is highly common among seniors.\nPneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing, according to Mayo Clinic.\nAs a loved one, it’s important to know the causes, symptoms and prevention for pneumonia just in case your family member starts to feel ill.\nCauses of Pneumonia:\nAccording to the American Lung Association, there are more than 30 different causes of pneumonia. It’s important to understand what causes this sickness because that can help to know how to treat it. While there are many causes, it’s typically one of these five reasons as to what causes pneumonia:\n- Other infections agents, such as fungi\n- Inhaling various chemical and environmental agents\nSymptoms of Pneumonia:\nAs a family member or loved one, it’s helpful to know the signs and symptoms of pneumonia so you can be prepared if the time ever comes. While symptoms of pneumonia can be similar to the flu, these symptoms usually last longer.\n- Shortness of breath\n- Chest pain\n- Green or yellow phlegm that comes up while coughing\n- Feeling lethargic\nPrevention of Pneumonia:\n- Get the flu shot: The flu is the most common predecessor to pneumonia in elderly people. We recommend that seniors over the age off 65 get a flu shot each year as well as a pneumococcal vaccine that protects against pneumonia bacteria.\n- Wash your hands: It’s important for seniors to keep their hands germ-free by washing them often. If you’re a caregiver, you should be washing them just as much, too.\n- Exercise, rest and practice healthy eating habit: Make sure your loved ones are drinking lots of fluids and avoiding anything that might cause stress and weaken the immune system. They should eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Without proper nutrients, seniors can become malnourished and thus, have a harder time fighting off illness.\nKeep in mind that prevention is much better than treatment.

Make sure your routine includes aerobic fitness, strength training, core exercises, balance training, flexibility and stretching.By Mayo Clinic Staff\nWhether you're a novice taking the first steps toward fitness or an exercise fanatic hoping to optimize your results, a well-rounded fitness training program is essential. Include these five elements to create a balanced routine.\nAerobic exercise, also known as cardio or endurance activity, is the cornerstone of most fitness training programs. Aerobic exercise causes you to breathe faster and more deeply, which maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. The better your aerobic fitness, the more efficiently your heart, lungs and blood vessels transport oxygen throughout your body — and the easier it is to complete routine physical tasks and rise to unexpected challenges, such as running to your car in the pouring rain.\nAerobic exercise includes any physical activity that uses large muscle groups and increases your heart rate. Try walking, jogging, biking, swimming, dancing, water aerobics — even leaf raking, snow shoveling and vacuuming.\nFor most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends that you get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity. You also can do a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week.\nMuscular fitness is another key component of a fitness training program. Strength training at least twice a week can help you increase bone strength and muscular fitness. It can also help you maintain muscle mass during a weight-loss program.\nMost fitness centers offer various resistance machines, free weights and other tools for strength training. But you don't need to invest in a gym membership or expensive equipment to reap the benefits of strength training.\nHand-held weights or homemade weights — such as plastic soft drink bottles filled with water or sand — may work just as well. Resistance bands are another inexpensive option. Your own body weight counts, too. Try pushups, abdominal crunches and leg squats.\nThe muscles in your abdomen, lower back and pelvis — known as your core muscles — help protect your back and connect upper and lower body movements. Core strength is a key element of a well-rounded fitness training program.\nCore exercises help train your muscles to brace the spine and enable you to use your upper and lower body muscles more effectively. So what counts as a core exercise? A core exercise is any exercise that uses the trunk of your body without support, such as abdominal crunches. You can also try various core exercises with a fitness ball.\nOlder adults in particular should include exercises to maintain or improve balance in their routine exercises. This is important because balance tends to deteriorate with age, which can lead to falls and fractures. However, anyone can benefit from balance training, as it can help stabilize your core muscles. Try standing on one leg for increasing periods of time to improve your overall stability. Activities such as tai chi can promote balance, too.\nFlexibility is an important part of physical fitness. Some types of physical activity, such as dancing, require more flexibility than others. Stretching exercises are effective in increasing flexibility, and thereby can allow people to more easily do activities that require greater flexibility. Stretching also improves the range of motion of your joints and promotes better posture. Regular stretching can even help relieve stress. For this reason, stretching and flexibility activities are an appropriate part of a physical activity program.\nBefore you stretch, warm up by walking or doing a favorite exercise at low intensity for five to 10 minutes. Better yet, stretch after you exercise — when your muscles are warm and receptive to stretching. Ideally, you'll stretch whenever you exercise. If you don't exercise regularly, you might want to stretch at least three times a week after warming up to maintain flexibility. Activities such as yoga promote flexibility, too.\nWhether you create your own fitness training program or enlist the help of a personal trainer, your overall exercise plan should include several elements. Aim to incorporate aerobic fitness, strength training, core exercises, balance training, and flexibility and stretching into your exercise plan. It isn't necessary to fit each of these elements into every fitness session, but factoring them into your regular routine can help you promote fitness for life.\nJuly 25, 2014\n- What type of physical activity is best?

It is sometimes represented in paintings as a blue orb or a radiant jewel, and sometimes as a source of lighting or fire.\nPay-may: “Enfolded in the heart of the lotus” (mani enfolded). The visible and everyday unfolding of events, petals or patterns thus revealing the essential core (mani) to our understanding. The core itself, or the realization of it, is nirvana (the ideal state of Buddhism). The lotus represents the implicate order of tessellated and annidated events, and the process of unfolding the passage of time to successive revelations.\nAt the core is the unchanging understanding.\nHung (signing off): “It is here, now.” A declamation of belief of the enchanter in the words. It also prefaces the “Om” or beginning of the new chant cycle, although in a long sequence of such short chants, all words follow their predecessors. This is the reminder mnemonic of implicate time; all events are present now, and forever repeated in their form.\nWe can choose from tribal chants, arts, and folk decoration many such mnemonic patterns, which in their evolution over the ages express very much the same world concept as does modern physics and biology. Such thoughtful and vivid beliefs come close to realizing the actual nature of the observed events around us, and are derived from a contemplation of such events, indicating a way of life and a philosophy rather than a dogma or set of measures.\nBeliefs so evolved precede, and transcend, the emphasis on the individual, or the division of life into disciplines and categories. When we search for the roots of belief, or more specifically meaning, we come again and again to the one-ness underlying science, word, song, art, and pattern: “The jewel in the heart of the lotus”.\nThus we see that many world beliefs share an essential core, but we also see the drift from such nature-based and essentially universal systems towards personalized or humanoid gods, dogma, and fanaticism, and to symbols without meaning or use in our lives, or to our understanding of life. Many other world-concepts based on the analogies of rainbows, serpents, and songs cycles relate to aspects of the integrated world view, and are found in Amerindian and Australian tribal cultures.\nExcerpt from ‘Permaculture, A Designer’s Manual’ by Bill Mollison, Tagari Publications, 1988", "label": "No"} {"text": "Concepts for relieving the terrible mass-fraction penalties of launching out of Earth’s gravity well by re-fueling spacecraft on-orbit have been proposed for decades (Reference 1). Certainly it makes theoretical sense to avoid carrying all needed mission propellants (as well as other vital fluids and/or gases) from liftoff to the final orbit by ‘topping off’ at an in-space ‘filling station.’ which is clearly analogous to the re-fueling of cars on an Interstate highway on a long auto trip.\nIndeed, analogies have been drawn to the Pony Express in the 1880s and to steam engine trains before that. In those cases, the ‘fuel’ (feed and water for the ponies and wood and water for the engines) was generally available in situ at the way station; later, for coal-driven and then diesel trains, and finally, automobiles, the fuel was produced elsewhere and delivered to re-fueling locations.\nThis analogy is usually applied to concepts for on-orbit depots, wherein cryogenic or storable propellants are produced on the ground, transported by rocket-tankers to an orbital storage depot, where it is then available for transfer into upper stages and/ or orbital maneuvering vehicles (OMV). Two other concepts, ‘in-situ production’ (ideally, also, ‘on- demand’) of cryogenics at the depot, and ‘in-space re-fueling from the ground’ (analogous to ‘mid-air re-fueling of aircraft’) have also been proposed.\nThis paper will address the considerable technological, operational and economic challenges for all of these concepts at a very high, qualitative level, and also assesses the prospects of commercialization of such depot/re-fueling systems.

The three-year project brought teachers and subject-matter specialists from 22 states together with college faculty members and representatives of 15 professional organizations in the social studies to craft an overarching set of guidelines that states can use as they write more detailed expectations for students.\nMindful of the political delicacy of specifying social studies content, the framework’s authors steer clear of subject-matter content, instead laying out an “inquiry arc” with four “dimensions” that span the disciplines: developing questions and planning inquiries; applying disciplinary concepts and tools; evaluating sources and using evidence; and communicating conclusions and taking informed action.\n“The C3 framework focuses on inquiry skills and key concepts, and guides—not prescribes—the choice of curricular content necessary for a rigorous social studies program,” the document says. “Content is critically important to the disciplines within social studies and individual state leadership will be required to select appropriate and relevant content.”\nThe Silver Spring, Md.-based National Council for the Social Studies, which led the effort along with University of Kentucky associate professor Kathy Swan, published the document online last week.\nLeaders of the initiative emphasized that the framework is not a set of standards or a curriculum. Those are better left to states and districts, which vary in what content they want to emphasize in the classroom, they said. Montana, for instance, requires instruction about the culture and history of Native Americans, while North Carolina teachers might spend more time discussing the Civil War, since key events unfolded there, said Susan Griffin, the executive director of the NCSS.\n“It’s a framework for states to use when they are revising their social studies standards,” Ms. Griffin said. “It was designed at the conceptual level, so we didn’t get into curricular details. That’s up to states and districts.”\nThat choice came in for some sharp criticism.\n“Nowhere in its 108 pages will you find Abraham Lincoln, the Declaration of Independence, Martin Luther King (or Martin Luther), a map of the United States, or the concept of supply and demand. You won’t find anything that you might think children should actually learn,” wrote Chester E. Finn Jr., the president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington-based think tank, in a blog post.\nMr. Finn said he thought it unlikely that the framework would drive the field to build a solid core of social studies content.\n“Sure, one could build good stuff on this framework,” he wrote, “But one could also build trash. Or nothing.”\nThree years ago, when the project began, it included the distinct possibility of creating standards. But it didn’t take long for the participants to decide that it was best to restrict the project to a high-level guide because states’ needs—and the level of detail in their standards—varied so much, Ms. Griffin said.\nStructuring the guidance around the four dimensions of an inquiry arc is meant to encourage teachers and students to look at important questions in social studies through the lens of four of its key content areas: civics, history, geography, and economics. The document notes that other social studies areas such as anthropology, sociology, and psychology would be useful additions, as well, but are not included in the C3 framework.\nSome states, such as Kentucky, are already using the framework to write or update their own social studies standards.\nKentucky Using Document\nKaren Kidwell, the director of the Kentucky Department of Education’s division of program standards, said teams of teacher leaders, district administrators, and higher education faculty members started discussions in February to update the state’s 2006 social studies standards. They’re drawing on ideas in the C3 framework, in addition to sets of standards from the national organizations in the social studies content areas.\nThe teams are beginning to draft standards, she said, and hope to have a set to present to the state board of education next year. But right now, they’re still hunkered down with stacks of materials, drawing ideas and guidance from all of them, she said. The standards will also incorporate the cross-disciplinary literacy expectations of the Common Core State Standards in English/language arts, she said.\nThe C3 framework itself describes the connections between its concepts and those common standards, which expect teachers of social studies and science to instruct students in literacy skills unique to their disciplines.\nIn 2010, the Council of Chief State School Officers, which co-led the common-standards initiative in math and English/language arts, hosted discussions that led to plans to devise a social studies framework. But the CCSSO pulled out of that role last year, citing a desire to focus its energy on helping states implement the math and English standards and to avoid the perception that it was involved in writing the social studies framework.\nVol. 33, Issue 05, Page 8Published in Print: September 25, 2013, as Social Studies Framework Is Guide for Standards", "label": "No"} {"text": "Several years ago I came across Harold Bloom’s Where Shall Wisdom Be Found and was immediately inspired to continue to search for similar examples of wisdom in art, literature, poetry, and other forms of human discourse. As a result, when I ran across the address of Dr. James at the dedication of the Robert Gould Shaw Memorial on Boston Common on Memorial Day, May 31, 1897 I knew I had found one such example. Shaw, of course, was the Commanding Officer of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment–the first black regiment organized in Massachusetts for the Union cause–and the subject of the 1989 movie Glory.\nBeing a career military professional, I was most impressed by James’ insight into human nature and his ability to overcome his own feelings of inadequacy and guilt from his inability to have participated in the war to abolish slavery. His brother Wilky James was an officer in the 54th Massachusetts and participated in the Quixotic–and poorly planned–direct charge on Fort Wagner in which half the regiment was decimated. Wilky suffered terrible injuries from the battle, which foreshortened his life. But William seemed to have taken some lessons from his brother’s experience and shared them on that day.\nHere, then, is today’s wisdom from an excerpt of William James’ oration:\n“It is hard to end a discourse like this without one word of moralizing; and two things must be distinguished in all events like those we are commemorating–the moral service of them on the one hand, and on the other the physical fortitude which they display. War has been much praised and celebrated among us of late as a school of manly virtue; but it is easy to exaggerate upon this point. Ages ago, war was the gory cradle of mankind, the grim-featured nurse that alone could train our savage progenitors into some semblance of social virtue, teach them to be faithful to one another, and force them to sink their selfishness in wider tribal ends. War still excels in this prerogative; and whether it be paid in years of service, in treasure, or in life-blood, the war tax is still the only tax that men ungrudgingly will pay. How could it be otherwise when the survivors of one successful massacre after another are the beings from whose loins we and all our contemporary races spring? Man is once for all a fighting animal; centuries of peaceful history could not breed the battle-instinct out of us; and military virtue least in need of reinforcement by reflection, least in need of orator’s or poet’s help.\nWhat we really need the poet’s and orator’s help to keep alive in us is not, then, the common and gregarious courage which Robert Shaw showed when he marched with you, men of the Seventh Regiment. It is that more lonely courage which he showed when he dropped his warm commission in the glorious Second to head…the 54th. That lonely kind of valor (civic courage as we call it in peace times) is the kind of valor to which the monuments of nations should most of all be reared, for the survival of the fittest has not bred it into the bone of human beings as it has bred military valor; and of the five hundred of us who could storm a battery side-by-side with others, perhaps not one would be found ready to risk his worldly fortunes all alone in resisting an enthroned abuse….The nation blest above all nations is she in whom the civic genius of the people does the saving day by day, by acts without external picturesqueness; by speaking, writing, voting reasonably; by smiting corruption swiftly; by good temper between parties; by the people knowing true men when they see them, and preferring them as leaders to rabid partisans or empty quacks.

P. Nielsen1, J. Röttger2 and F. Sigernes3\n1 The University Courses on Svalbard and The University of Bergen, Norway.\n2 The Max-Planck-Institute of Aeronomy, Germany.\n3 The University Courses on Svalbard.\nFrom the 14th of November to the 21st of November 1999 measurements of the upper mesospheric temperatures were performed. Both the SOUSY Svalbard Radar and a one meter focal length Ebert-Fastie spectrometer were used, the first measuring the decay of meteor echoes and the latter measuring the OH(6-2) rotational spectrum. Due to the differences in the height of the measurements the temperatures were compared on the background of the temperature profile according to the COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere and reasonable agreement was found. During good conditions for the optical measurements the rotational temperatures had a relative uncertainty of 2 Kelvin when one-hour averages were taken. A frequency analysis of these temperatures was performed, showing no signs of neither diurnal nor semi-diurnal variations. Suggesting that these are not present or weaker than 2 Kelvin in the OH-airglow layer over Svalbard in November.\nTemperature profiles in the mesopause region at high polar latitudes of 80 degrees are fairly rare (Connor, 1993). The highest latitudes, where temperature profiles were measured in the past, are about 70 degrees (Lübken, 1999). We do not know of any direct comparisons of temperature measurements at such latitudes. The unique location of Svalbard at 80 degrees N, where many scientific observations of the middle and upper atmosphere are done (Bjørdal, 1998), would allow such observations and comparisons. For this purpose we have performed measurements of the upper mesospheric temperatures in the period of from the 14th to the 21st of November 1999. Both the SOUSY-Svalbard-Radar (Röttger, 2000) and an Ebert-Fastie spectrometer (Dick et al., 1970) were used.\nObservations of tidal variations in the Mesosphere-Lower Thermosphere region over Svalbard have been done with the EISCAT Svalbard Radar (Aso et al., 1999 and Van Eyken et al. 1999). These were only of neutral winds not of temperatures, and only during summer. Winter observations of tides have been performed earlier with the Ebert-Fastie spectrometer (e.g. Myrabo and Deehr, 1984), but not in November. Myrabo and Deehr found a semi-diurnal tide with an amplitude of 3 Kelvin in December 1982.\nThe spectrometer is placed at the Auroral Station that is situated in Adventdalen, close to Longyearbyen on Svalbard. The radar is practically situated right next to the Auroral Station, as they are only a few kilometers apart. The radar can obtain temperatures through measurements of the echoes from trails of ionization resulting from ablating meteorites. These echoes decay by diffusion; as the diffusion co-efficient is a function of temperature and pressure, the temperature can be estimated. However, uncertainty remains, since these estimates require information of the pressure, which needs to be taken from a model (Hocking et al., 1999). The spectrometer measures the OH(6-2) rotational-vibrational spectrum; from its emissions the temperature was calculated by the aid of synthetic spectra. The emissions originate from the OH-airglow-layer that is situated at an average height of 87 km, while the meteor echoes occur at a variety of heights in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere. We present here initial comparisons. Further detailed analysis should follow as well as more joint observations.\nThe primary aim of our joint effort was to compare two methods of measuring the temperatures in the upper mesosphere. The temperatures were obtained using the SOUSY-Svalbard Radar (SSR) running in the meteor-radar-mode and the one-meter focal length Ebert-Fastie spectrometer measuring the airglow hydroxyl rotational temperature. As the SSR needs a significant number of meteor echoes in order to estimate the temperature, the campaign was carried out at the time of the Leonid meteor shower. Being a project of UNIS (the University Courses on Svalbard), the campaign was called UNILEO (UNIS and SOUSY observations around the Leonid shower).\nBoth the SSR and the spectrometer were set up to measure around zenith with fields of view of 4.5 and 5.0 degrees, respectively. The radar has the possibility to point its beam to the NE, SE, SW and NW with 5 degrees zenith angles and the spectrometer measures around the zenith direction. Where the spectrometer only measures the temperature as an average through the OH(6,2)-airglow layer (9km x 12km at 87 km), the SSR measures temperatures in whichever height incoming meteors ablate. The OH-airglow layer is, according to in-situ measurements made with rockets, situated around 87km with a thickness of 8km regardless of season or latitude (Baker and Stair 1988).\n2.1 The Ebert-Fastie Spectrometer\nThe Ebert-Fastie spectrometer is one out of three spectrometers located at the Auroral Station in Adventdalen. The instrument has a scanning grating that scans through the first order wavelength range 8312 - 8745Å. The bandpass is 4.8Å and the field of view is approximately 5°. For a more detailed description of the spectrometer see Fastie (1952), Dick et al. (1970) and Sivjee et al. (1972). In order to derive the rotational temperatures of the measured OH(6,2)-band, it is necessary to produce the corresponding synthetic spectra. The basis for calculating these spectra is given by Herzberg (1950) with term values from Krassovsky (1962) and Einstein coefficients from Turnbull and Lowe (1989). The temperatures can then be derived since the upper populated energy states of the OH(6,2) band are distributed according to the Stefan-Boltzmann distribution. Recent work by Conner (1993) explains in detail how the parameters necessary for generating the synthetic spectra as a function of the rotational temperature can be calculated. The temperature is found by choosing the optimal fit between the measured and the synthetic spectrum through iteration, to minimize the least square error.\nFig. 1 shows a typical result of fitting a synthetic spectrum to the data obtained during the UNILEO campaign. In this case, a temperature of 204°K with a fit value of 0.95 was found. The fit value is defined as\nwhere l is the least mean square difference between the measured and the synthetic spectrum. This is the same fit function that was used by Viereck (1988). A Fit=0.8 represents a relative uncertainty of approximately ± 2°K.\n2.2 The SOUSY Svalbard radar\nThe SOUSY Svalbard Radar (SSR) of the Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie (MPAe) is an MST radar (Röttger, 2000). It uses the main basic components of the mobile SOUSY radar, which was constructed near Longyearbyen in summer 1998. It consists of a transmitter operating on 53.5 MHz at peak power of 150 kW (60 kW with 2.5 kW average power during this campaign), and a phased-array antenna system of 356 Yagi antennas (total 33 dBi gain and 4 degrees half-power beamwidth). Phase steering allows five beam pointing directions at zenith and 5 degrees zenith angle to NE, SE, SW and NW. Transmitter, radar control, receiver and digital signal processing units and auxiliary equipment is housed in three containers. For the meteor observations a 20-bit complementary code with 2 us baud length is used, corresponding to 300m range resolution.\nThe SSR was not originally conceived or optimized as meteor radar, but it detects meteors as any other MST radar. This can be used to get wind and temperature estimates, and some information about the entrance and ablation of meteorites in the lower thermosphere and upper mesosphere. For comparison with the OH spectrometer observations, around the Leonid meteor shower in November 1999, the SSR was operated in a special meteor radar mode with a short coherent integration sampling time of 28 ms and antenna beam directions fixed for longer periods. The system did not allow a faster data rate, which would have been a more suitable choice. The antenna beam direction was kept constant for about 1hour and then switched to the orthogonal direction for another hour. More than 4 days of meteor radar data were collected. We concentrate here on underdense echoes, where the echo amplitude decay can be used to deduce the diffusion coefficient and hence the temperature (e.g., Hocking, 1999). Using equation (4) of Hocking et al. (1997) we obtain the temperatures\n, (K) (2)\nwhere p is the pressure in Pascal and t1/2 the time at which the amplitude of the meteor echo has fallen to half its peak value. The pressure was taken from the CIRA 1986 model. For a geometric height of 84.8 km this is 48.5 Pa.\nFig. 2 shows an example of underdense meteor echoes observed in the evening before the Leonid shower maximum. These prove the exponential decay of the echoes. We use these kinds of echoes to determine decay time and diffusion coefficient and hence the temperature can be estimated using equation (2).\nFig. 3 shows the temperature estimates obtained from the spectrometer as a function of time throughout the campaign The time axis is day number in 1999. Each cross on the figure represents the mean temperature of one hour of measurements. As it can be seen the data is spread over a rather large temperature interval ranging over more than 50 K around an average value of 200-210°K, illustrating the large temperature variations of the upper mesosphere. The time of the Leonid meteor shower on the morning of the 18th of November is marked on the figure. The crosses with boxes represent data that have a fit function (equation (1)), which is better than 80%. These temperature estimates are compared with simultaneously deduced temperature estimates obtained from the radar.\nAs an initial attempt we have carefully screened the SSR observations on 18 November 1999, 0000 UT +-3 hours. The latter part of this period covers the Leonid shower when about three times as many meteor echoes were observed than usual. In total we found some 35 meteor echo events in the altitude range 82-90 km which fulfilled our criteria of sufficient signal-to-noise ratio and proper exponential decay. This relatively low rate of meteor events results from the fact that the antenna beam is just 4 degrees wide. However, it was possible to obtain estimates of the diffusion coefficient and the temperature, which we classified to cover height ranges 82-86 km and 86-90 km.\nFig. 4 shows the CIRA temperature profile and superimposed the temperature estimates for the given time period. The variance of measured temperatures is fairly broad for both instruments, due to measurement uncertainties and geophysical noise (probably due to shorter period gravity waves). The mean value, however, matches quite well with the model temperature profile.\nThere are some matters of uncertainty to the accuracy of the OH-rotational temperatures. Pendleton et al. 1989 questioned whether excited OH is in thermal equilibrium. They made spectral measurements of the (7,4)-band and came to the conclusion that for rotational levels above J´ = 5 this is not the case. In general whether excited OH is in thermal equilibrium or not is definitely a question of vibrational level, as the lifetime of the molecule decreases when the vibrational level increases. The collision frequency in this altitude of the atmosphere is of the order 104s-1, while the average lifetime of OH in vibrational state 6 is of the order 10-2-10-3s-1 (Turnbull and Lowe, 1989). Thus it is reliable that OH(v=6) is in thermal equilibrium for the lower rotational states. The temperature derived from the OH-airglow therefore is equal to the average temperature of the surrounding atmosphere with a standard error of below 10K. Another matter of uncertainty is the height and thickness of the airglow layer. Baker and Stair (1988) compared previous measurements of the layer made from rockets and found that the height is nearly constant regardless of latitude or season. Still this is the biggest problem with the OH-temperatures. In particular as only few measurements of the OH-height has been performed at high latitudes. As there are strong temperature gradients in this part of the mesopause region, and the airglow temperature results from the OH-layer 3 kilometers higher up, the observed difference between the temperatures could be natural. However, comparison of more measurements is needed to investigate this.\nThe temperature estimates obtained from the radar are quite sensitive to the time t1/2 and the pressure. Whereas p/t1/2 can be obtained with acceptable accuracy by choosing a significant amount of proper underdense meteor echoes, the pressure cannot directly be measured but has to be taken from a model. Hocking et al. (1999) have tried to untangle this problem of pressure dependence. The large variance of the data points, as we observe with the radar, is similar to observations at other locations (Chilson et al., 1996; Hocking et al., 1999). It partially results from influence of noise on the signal, inhomogeneity of the meteor trail during diffusion, or on the ionic composition of the ablating meteorite.\nA comparison of the measured temperatures and the CIRA 1986 average temperatures for November was made (figure 4). As it can be seen the temperatures are made in different heights and the difference between them is corresponding fairly well with the gradient in the temperatures from the CIRA model. It is also seen that the mean OH rotational temperatures are more than 10K below the model temperatures.\nA direct measure of the pressure can be carried out by using the temperatures from the spectrometer combined with the radar measurements of t1/2. The method may be a good candidate for improving model calculations. This should be performed later. These preliminary observations prove that useful information can be extracted from the meteor observations of the SSR. We think, however, that a special purpose meteor radar with wider beam and receiving interferometry would be an advisable improvement for such radar observations (Röttger, 2000). The combination with the OH spectrometer observations of temperature is a most useful improvement.\nIn figure 5 an example of a Lomb normalized periodogram of the OH rotational temperatures is shown. The spectrum has no peaks stronger than 5 Kelvin, which is only slightly more than the uncertainty of the temperatures (2 Kelvin). This indicates that no tides were present over Svalbard in November 1999, which had stronger amplitude than 2 Kelvin. This differs from the neutral wind measurements of Aso et al. (1999). Their measurements were done with the EISCAT Svalbard radar also located in Adventdalen. They found that the diurnal and semidiurnal tides were the dominating modes in the region between 90 km and 120 km height and of considerable strength. However their measurements were done in August, not November. Myrabo and Deehr (1984) found semi-diurnal variations of the temperatures in December with an amplitude of 3 Kelvin, which if they where present, just barely would have been detected from the OH rotational temperatures. Meaning that this does not contradict the present measurements. Also the results of the GSWM-98 (Hagan et al., 1999) are in agreement with the present measurements, as the amplitudes of both the diurnal and semi-diurnal tides in this are 1 Kelvin or weaker at OH-airglow heights over Svalbard.\n5. Concluding remarks\nThe temperatures measured with the Ebert Fastie spectrometer and the SSR were in reasonably good agreement. The simultaneous measurements may give rise to later pressure measurements in the height of the airglow layer. We will look into this in the future. However, we have to be aware that such observations can yield reliable estimates only if long averages are possible. Another result of this campaign was that neither diurnal nor semi-diurnal variations of temperature were detected.\nFig. 1. The measured and synthetic spectra of the OH(6,2) band. Each line is marked and identified according to quantum state. The curve plotted with line color red is the synthetic, green the measured and yellow is the detected background spectra, respectively.

The antenna was pointing to NW at elevation 85°. The record covers 1.8 seconds. A single sample was obtained every 28 milliseconds. The pressure at 85 km height is according to the CIRA86 model 4.9 Pa. Thus the echo decay rate corresponds to a temperature of about 220 Kelvin (from equation (2)).\nFig. 3.

The egyptians believed that the dead don’t just teleport to the afterlife, they need to have a journey to the afterlife. On the walls are hieroglyphics, enigmatic or incomprehensible symbols or writing, of what is going to happen in the journey to the afterlife. To make a tomb you can’t just chuck someone in a hole. You have to have a person to design the tomb to make it hard to find the actual dead body so tomb robbers can’t rob the tomb of it’s riches. But usually whoever creates the design robs the tomb anyway. A tomb can be as big as a classroom or even as big as 4 statues of libertys side by side.

It explores changes in understandings of deformity and disability between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, and reveal the ways in which different societies have conceptualised the normal and the pathological.\nThrough a variety of case studies including: early modern birth defects, homosexuality, smallpox scarring, vaccination, orthopaedics, deaf education, eugenics, mental deficiency, and the experiences of psychologically scarred military veterans, this book provides new perspectives on the history of physical, sensory and intellectual anomaly.\nExamining changes over five centuries, it charts how disability was delineated from other forms of deformity and disfigurement by a clearer medical perspective. Essays shed light on the experiences of oppressed minorities often hidden from mainstream history, but also demonstrate the importance of discourses of disability and deformity as key cultural signifiers which disclose broader systems of power and authority, citizenship and exclusion.\nThe diverse nature of the material in this book will make it relevant to scholars interested in cultural, literary, social and political, as well as medical, history.\n|Publisher:||Taylor & Francis|\n|Series:||Routledge Studies in the Social History of Medicine Series , #25|\n|Product dimensions:||6.25(w) x 9.25(h) x 0.56(d)|\nTable of Contents\nList of figures ix\nNotes on contributors x\nIntroduction: approaching anomalous bodies David M.

It’s simple: it all comes down to calculating the Break-even point.\n- How is it calculated?\nThe break-even point refers to the minimum amount of turnover necessary for the company to make a profit.\nIn other words, it is the level of activity that allows, thanks to the variable operating margin, to have the means to pay all the fixed expenses of the company. As a reminder, the variable operating margin refers to the level of sales minus the variable charges (those being the charges that depend on the level of activity).\nVariable expenses are also sometimes referred to as “operating expenses” while fixed expenses are also referred to as “structural expenses”.\nHow is it calculated?\nTo calculate the break-even point, you have to:\n1 – Separate all the expenses of the exercise into two categories:\n- Fixed expenses: Those are the ones that stay the same regardless of the level of sales. These can include, for example: wages, social charges, insurance premiums, the fees of the chartered accountant, etc.\n- Variable expenses: These are the expenses that depend directly on the level of activity. Examples of such charges would be buying the supplies, the transport costs, the commissions paid per sale, etc.\n2 – Calculate the variable operating margin:\n|forecasted turnover – variable expenses driven automatically by these sales.|\n3 – Translate the variable operating margin in percentage of the sales revenue:\n|(margin on variable costs / turnover) X 100.|\n4 – Obtain the breakeven point (expressed in money):\n|fixed expenses / variable operating margin|\nAs soon as sales exceed the break-even amount, the company will start generating profits.\nIt is therefore a way to check the feasibility of the project, as from it, one can determine the number of hours to be billed, the average number of goods to be sold per day, etc.\nFor example: Let’s say I wanted to start an activity of selling sports tracksuits in fairground markets. It would be incredibly helpful to know that I should sell about 10 tracksuits a day on average in order not to take any losses.\nCalculation of the break-even point:\n|Turnover – variable expenses = margin on variable costs|\n|Margin on variable costs / sales revenue = margin rate on variable costs|\n|Fixed expenses / margin rate on variable costs = break-even point|\nKeep in mind that there are two ways to express the break-even point. The one explained above expresses it in money, but it is also possible to express it in time, with the number of days, months or years required to be profitable.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The main features of the trusteeship system are outlined in the chapter on the Trusteeship Council. What follows here is a brief description of the territories originally placed under UN trusteeship in 1946.\nThree types of countries became part of the UN's trusteeship system: (1) territories still administered by a nation under a League of Nations mandate, (2) territories detached from enemy states as a result of the Second World War, and (3) territories voluntarily placed under the system by states responsible for their administration. All 11 territories that were placed under the trusteeship system in 1946 have since achieved the goals of the charter, either as independent states or as parts of independent states.\nFollowing is a list of the territories that have achieved independence. The territories are listed under their administering powers.\nNauru (coadministered with New Zealand and the United Kingdom). The territory became independent on 31 January 1968, in accordance with a 1965 General Assembly resolution setting this date as the target for accession to independence.\nNew Guinea. The trust territory of New Guinea was administered by Australia together with the non-self-governing territory of Papua until the two were united and became the independent state of Papua New Guinea in 1975.\nRuanda-Urundi under Belgian administration. In a special session convened in June 1962, the General Assembly approved separate independence for the two territories, which were established on 1 July 1962 as the Republic of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Burundi.\nTogoland. In 1958, with the agreement of France, the UN supervised elections, and the territory became the independent state of Togo on 27 April 1960.\nCameroons. Following a notification in 1958 by its legislative assembly of the desire of the territory to become independent and acting upon the recommendation of the Trusteeship Council, the General Assembly, in agreement with France, resolved that on 1 January 1960 trusteeship status would end and the territory would become independent as Cameroon.\nSomaliland. In union with the dependency of British Somaliland, the territory became the sovereign state of Somalia on 1 July 1960.\nWestern Samoa. In agreement with the administering authority, the UN conducted a plebiscite in May 1961, following which the territory attained independence on 1 January 1962.\nTogoland . To ascertain the freely expressed wishes of the people as to their political future, the UN, in agreement with the United Kingdom, conducted a plebiscite in 1956. As a result of the plebiscite, the territory united in March 1957 with the former Gold Coast to form the independent state of Ghana.\nCameroons . Both the northern and southern sectors of the territory were administered as part of the federation of Nigeria, a British dependency. Following a plebiscite held under UN supervision in March 1961, the northern sector became part of newly independent Nigeria on 1 June 1961. Following a similar plebiscite, the peoples of the southern sector joined the newly independent state of Cameroon on 1 October 1961.\nTanganyika. Following negotiations between the United Kingdom and African leaders, the territory attained independence on 9 December 1961. It united with Zanzibar in 1964 to become the United Republic of Tanzania.\nTrust Territory of the Pacific Islands. By the end of 1975, only the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands remained under the UN trusteeship system. It was administered by the United States under an agreement approved by the Security Council. Because it is a \"strategic\" trust territory, it was under the ultimate authority of the Security Council rather than the General Assembly. (See the chapter on the Trusteeship Council.)\nThe Pacific Islands, collectively known as Micronesia, include the former Japanese-mandated islands of the Marshalls, the Carolines, and the Northern Marianas (except Guam, which was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1898). In 1975, a covenant for political union with the United States was approved by the people of the Northern Marianas. In February 1976, the United States Congress gave final approval for granting commonwealth status to the Northern Marianas. The Commonwealth Covenant with the Northern Marianas came into force on 3 November 1986.\nIn a referendum held on 12 July 1978, Kosrae, Ponape, Truk, and Yap—in the Caroline archipelago—approved and ratified a draft constitution for a proposed Federated States of Micronesia. The four districts subsequently held elections, and the Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia was inaugurated on 10 May 1979. The Compact of Free Association with the Federated States of Micronesia also came into force on 3 November 1986.\nOn 21 December 1978, the Marshall Islands Constitutional Convention approved a draft constitution, and in a referendum held on 1 March 1979, the voters of those islands adopted it by a substantial majority. Legislative power in the Marshall Islands was vested in the Nitijela (legislature); the first general election under the new constitution took place on 10 April 1979. The Compact of Free Association with the Marshall Islands came into force on 21 October 1986.\nOn 2 April 1979, the Constitutional Convention of Palau adopted a draft constitution, which was approved by a referendum on 9 July. Elections were held on 4 November 1980, and the new constitution came into force on 1 January 1981. However, since its constitution required a 75% majority for the approval of the Compact of Free Association with the United States, Palau was unable to obtain approval for the compact in seven different referendums over the next 10 years.\nIn November 1992, Palau held a constitutional amendment referendum and changed the requirement for approval to simple majority (50% plus 1). Thereafter, the eighth plebiscite was held in November 1993 and the compact was approved by 68 per cent of Palauans voting in favor. In January 1994, the United States informed the Trusteeship Council that its government and the government of Palau intended to implement the compact as soon as practicable. Planning for the smooth transition to Palau's new status was under way. In late 1994 the two countries implemented the Compact of Free Association and with it came the official end of Palau's status as a trusteeship territory.\nThe delegates attending the 1945 San Francisco Conference, at which the UN was founded, included many spokesmen for anticolonialist sentiment. As a result of their efforts and generous proposals by Australia and the United Kingdom (which possessed the world's largest colonial empire at the time), the charter incorporates a pledge on the part of the colonial powers to assume certain obligations toward the peoples of their dependencies.\nThe pledge takes the form of a declaration regarding non-selfgoverning territories that is embodied in Article 73, Chapter XI, of the charter. Under Article 73, all UN members \"which have or assume responsibilities for the administration of territories whose peoples have not yet attained a full measure of self-government recognize the principle that the interests of the inhabitants of these territories are paramount, and accept as a sacred trust the obligation to promote to the utmost, within the system of international peace and security established by the present Charter, the well-being of the inhabitants of these territories, …\" This general obligation is then divided into five specific obligations:(a) to \"ensure, with due respect for the culture of the peoples concerned, their political, economic, social, and educational advancement, their just treatment, and their protection against abuses\"; (b) to \"develop self-government, to take due account of the political aspirations of the peoples, and to assist them in the progressive development of their free political institutions, according to the particular circumstances of each territory and its peoples … \"; (c) to \"further international peace and security\";(d) to \"promote constructive measures of development … \"; and(e) to \"transmit regularly to the Secretary-General for information purposes, subject to such limitations as security and constitutional considerations may require, statistical and other information of a technical nature relating to economic, social, and educational conditions in the territories for which they are respectively responsible….\"\nToday, when so many of these people have claimed and won their independence, the obligations contained in the declaration may not seem very far-reaching. For example, nothing is said about preparing non-self-governing territories for actual independence—indeed, the word \"independence\" appears nowhere in the declaration. Although due account is to be taken of the \"political aspirations of the peoples,\" all that is explicitly acknowledged is the obligation to develop \"self-government,\" which does not necessarily imply independence.\nHowever, the validity of the declaration must be considered in the context of its era. Few people at the San Francisco Conference foresaw how intense or universal the desire of colonial peoples for full political sovereignty would be. All told, the obligations included in the declaration probably represented the maximum that reasonably could be expected from colonial countries at that time. Moreover, in the circumstances then prevailing, the agreement by the colonial nations, under paragraph (e) of Article 73, to submit information to an international body concerning their own territories—in effect, to yield up a degree of their sovereignty—was a considerable concession.\nTERRITORIES COVERED BY THE DECLARATION The somewhat unwieldy term \"non-self-governing territory\" was chosen primarily because it was broad enough to include the various constitutional designations given by administering powers to their dependencies—colony, protectorate, and so on—as well as all stages of political development short of actual self-government or independence. The declaration includes all those territories \"whose peoples have not yet attained a full measure of self-government.\" However, the precise meaning of the phrase \"a full measure of self-government\" was not specified in the charter, an omission that left the door open for subsequent dispute and controversy.\nAt the outset, it was considered the responsibility of the eight colonial powers that were UN members to identify the dependencies they regarded as non-self-governing within the meaning of Article 73 of the charter. At its first working session, in 1946, the General Assembly adopted a resolution enumerating 74 non-selfgoverning territories that the administering countries had identified as falling within the provisions of the declaration. The eight colonial countries were Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The combined population of their dependencies—which ranged from tiny Pitcairn Island, with a population of 100 persons, to the Netherlands Indies, with 73 million—was estimated at 215 million. The dependencies of Spain and Portugal could not be included in the 1946 list, since these two colonial powers were not UN members at the time. (For the non-self-governing territories listed by the General Assembly in 1946 and subsequently, see Table 1.)", "label": "No"} {"text": "New research using satellite technology has found that overall, despite deforestation, the earth is getting greener.\nFor the period 2003-12, we found that the total amount of vegetation above the ground has increased by about 4 billion tonnes of carbon.\nDeforestation in the tropics in South America, Southeast Asia and elsewhere “has been offset by recovering forests outside the tropics, and new growth in the drier savannas and shrublands of Africa and Australia.”\nThe following image shows light vegetation growing over very large areas. It reminds me of the country we saw last year on our Red Centre holiday, driving in the Northern Territory west of Boulia and north of the Simpson Desert, which would be classified as ‘drier savannah’.\nThe map they created of Australia (below) shows vigorous growth in the east and northeast in the higher rainfall areas. Some of this would be mountainous forest area, but a good deal of it would be pasture land used for grazing.\nFour billion tonnes sounds like a lot of carbon, so we need some perspective. First multiply by 3.67 and that gives an equivalence of about 14.7 billion tonnes of CO2. Back in 2006 in the Stern Review the total world output of humanly generated greenhouse gases from all sources, not just CO2, was from memory 43 Gt of CO2 equivalent. Now that has increased to about 50 Gt CO2e per annum. So I make it that the increased greenhouse gas output over 10 years could be about 35 Gt.\nThese are very rough calculations, but it makes the extra greenery look quite significant.\nLindsay Wilson has done an historical account of carbon sinks and sources:\nThat makes 26.4% historically absorbed on land, 29.5% by the ocean and 44% remaining in the atmosphere as the ‘airborne fraction’. Then is not now, but I understand the rough proportions are now 25% absorbed by land, 30% by the ocean and 45% remaining in the atmosphere.\nBack in 2009 the airborne fraction was assessed at 43% and found not to change much over the years.\nThese figures need to be done by real scientists. However my back of the envelope accounting suggests that trees may be more than pulling their weight as a carbon sink. Nevertheless the oceans are still acidifying and atmospheric concentrations are still increasing by about 2.5 ppm each year. So while the news is good there is no reason to crack out the champagne just yet.\nThere are some other cautions too.\nFirst, I understand shrubs and trees have a lower reflectivity than grasslands. Hence if the trees thicken then more heat will be absorbed by the planet. This is especially true of the tundras.\nSecond, the Amazon is still a worry. A recent study shows that the carbon absorption capacity has reduced by a third during the last decade, that’s a billion tonnes each year.\nAbout half the rainfall in the Amazon is generated by transpiration. Reducing the tree cover increases the likelihood of drought, which exposes the forest to die-back and fire. I can’t confirm the size of the carbon store of the Amazon, but from memory it’s about 70 billion tonnes, and I think that’s carbon rather than CO2. I did read that there were 5 billion trees in the forest. In any case it’s big and its preservation has global significance.\nThird, thickening of forest cover is not all good news for food production. As shrub and tree species, native or otherwise, invade grassland at some point the shrubbery takes over and the grass is lost. Thickening in general can negative for productivity.\nBack in 2007 a government report found that the Queensland beef industry was broadly neutral in terms of greenhouse emissions, with methane from ruminants being absorbed by extra tree cover. The present research would tend to support that view.\nWe live in a complex world.\nUpdate: On reflection, I think the additional greening possibly needs to be measured against the whole land-based carbon sink function. If so then it’s rather lacking.\nThat’s why we need real climate scientists in this specialty to do the calcs!", "label": "No"} {"text": "It was announced last Monday that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would be investing $4 million into research surrounding dietary effects on Alzheimer’s disease. This money has been awarded as a five-year grant to researchers that will use the funding to explore the benefits of a healthy and anti-inflammatory diet. Specifically studying older residents of a multicultural New York neighbourhood, they will look into the potential this diet will have in lowering the risk of cognitive decline. Yasmin Mossava-Rahmani, a nutrition scientist and associate professor of clinical epidemiology and population health, from the Albert Einstein college of Medicine, is planned to lead the project. The study is driven by the fact that inflammation, caused by a typical “western diet” due to the high contents of fats and sugars, increases the risk of developing several diseases including diabetes cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers will investigate the progression of 300 individuals aged 40-65 in a multicultural community in the Bronx, New York for 27 months. Half of the group will adhere to the new planned diet while the other half will be kept to their usual diet for comparison. To test the results both groups will take blood and cognitive test analyses.\nSOURCE: Alzheimer’s News Today, November 20th, 2017 https://alzheimersnewstoday.com/2017/11/20/nih-awards-4-million-grant-to-research-anti-inflammatory-diet-and-alzheimers-risk/\nAUTHOR(S): Patricia Inacio\nDATE RETRIEVED: Monday November 27, 2017", "label": "No"} {"text": "Dust is a widespread problem in workplaces, including in the industries that we’ll talk about in this article. The management needs to craft a proactive and robust plan for dust suppression. This is necessary to promote the health and safety of the workers and the public. Dust control strategies also demonstrate concern for the environment.\nBefore we start, if you have a business from any of the industries we’ll mention below, check out Bosstek for the best dust suppression technologies.\nMore than just being a nuisance, construction dust is a serious health risk. Inhaling dust from construction activities results in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, silicosis, lung cancer, and asthma. It can cause disability and death. One of the most common types of construction dust is wood dust, which is from working with wood-based materials. The materials used in construction activities, such as marble and concrete, can also generate dust.\nLike in construction, mining activities also produce dust that endangers workers. Mining activities release dust in the air, which is a major health risk to workers and people around the construction sites. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, extraction, processing, and transporting activities in mining sites can result in respirable dust that poses serious health threats. Drilling, excavating, blasting, bagging, stockpiling, crushing, and conveying are other mining activities that can generate dust.\nManufacturing operations also produce dust. Regardless of what it is the company manufactures, chances are, the raw materials and the processes will produce airborne dust particles. They can be toxic and combustible. In indoor manufacturing plants, a good solution is to install appropriate ventilation systems that will direct dust away from the source. Understanding material properties also helps minimize dust in the workplace. Implementing a robust dust control strategy is crucial for improving product quality.\n- Waste Dumps\nDust control equipment, such as misting cannons, is effective not only for controlling dust particles but also for odor management. The machine produces water mists that saturate dust and odor at the source. To add, waste dumps process construction waste, which is why dust is present in the site.\n- Golf Courses\nIt is annoying to play golf when dust confronts you. It is not only uncomfortable but also unhealthy. Dust also affects vision. With the right suppression technologies, dust does not need to be a problem. The same thing applies not only in golf courses but also in football fields and event grounds, among others.\n- Metal Extraction\nExtracting metal also produces dust. This happens in many industries where metal is a common material, including automotive, aerospace, and medical technology. Cutting, grinding, sawing, welding and milling metal will produce dust. Mobile dust extractors offer a promising solution to prevent dust particles from causing harm.\nDust is a danger to humans, animals, and the environment. It results in health problems, including lung cancer. This has serious repercussions, even dust. Regardless of the industry, businesses should invest in innovative dust suppression technologies and deal with the root cause of the problem.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The last school bell is an awaited sound – it announces the end of the day for the students. But for teachers, it is a different story. We tend to forget that our mothers in school are also mothers in their homes.\nAs government employees, teachers are expected to a 40-hour work a week. This excludes all the outside hour efforts exerted to prepare for learning materials or respond to student inquiries. Outside the school, they have their responsibilities as a child to their mothers, a sister to their siblings, and most significantly, a mother to their children. This scenario is seemingly exhausting to realize, and indeed it is.\nThe expectation for a teacher to deliver quality education is extreme and is growing unrealistically. Educating students is the general idea of the role of teachers, but behind the scenes, this includes lesson planning, material preparation, and a susceptible implementation. The weight of guiding hundreds of unique students can be too much. No matter the effort put into teaching, these very guiding lights are trapped in the country’s education system that can lack support for the teachers themselves.\nFurther into this lifestyle is their undertaking as a mother. They remain responsible for assuring that their children develop into mature and responsible adults while managing their homes.\nBoth roles are laborious and demanding. And depending on their priorities and standards, being a teacher and a mother requires sacrifices and boundaries to coincide. “[This] taught me to strategically balance work and family. If I go home, I leave my work at school, and when I am in school, I leave my family concerns,” shares Precila Baclig, a homeroom adviser and a Physics and Research teacher.\nThe pandemic has especially been challenging in establishing boundaries of work and home for our female protagonists. It begs the confrontation to be a mother to their students in their family’s territory.\nThis situation also seeks them to learn new mediums to reach their students. During the days when they are to conduct their classes from their homes, they are forced to make ends meet with the technical difficulties and environmental distractions that exist.\n“I am lucky that my students are understanding. They immediately give me feedback,” says Baclig on cases of external factors that she cannot control during her classes.\nConstantly, these women face challenges from the system in their pursuit of nurturing society’s future. The least we can do is to appreciate their efforts. But this does not eliminate the fact that they need governmental support to help them stand by their duties as mothers and teachers.\nThis is a modern generation. Women are their persons and can earn for their families. But add this with their structural responsibilities as a mother, we then see a person of strength and character.\nIt is exhausting to manage hundreds of children, but for the mothers in classrooms and homes, it is a lifestyle – and this does not end after the sound of the bell.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Bandipur National Park\nHalfway down the Mysore-Ooty highway, the Deccan Plateau rises to meet the wrinkled folds of the Western Ghat mountains. Here lies one of India's best-known wildlife reserves - Bandipur National Park. It is situated within Chamarajanagar district in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, and abuts the states of Tamil Nadu & Kerala. Endowed with a moderate climate and diverse geographical features, the park supports a remarkable variety of flora and fauna, making it a veritable paradise for wildlife. In 1973, Bandipur became one of the first of India's Tiger Reserves and the southernmost of the nine reserves specially established under Project Tiger. In 1974, intention was declared under the Wildlife Protection Act to notify it as a National Park.\nFLORA & FAUNA: The scrub jungles towards the eastern limits of the park consist of stunted trees, interspersed with bushes and open grassy patches. Towards its north-western fringes, there is a gradual shift in the vegetation from open dry deciduous forests to tropical mixed deciduous forests. These diverse habitats support an enormous diversity of animal life.\nWith the onset of pre-monsoon showers in April, Bandipur begins to unfold in all its glory. The resident birds commence their breeding activities. The air is filled with their melodious calls. Sprouting grass in the meadows and view lines attract elephants and the majestic gaur in large numbers. For the tourist who comes to watch the larger mammals in their natural surroundings, Bandipur is a paradise from April to October. Even before this, during summer, when dryness prevails over most parts of Bandipur, the backwaters of the Kabini Reservoir in the north-western portion of the park host huge congregations of large mammals, especially the elephant and the gaur. This unique feature makes a breathtaking spectacle, and is almost the only one of its kind in Asia.\nMAMMALS: Herbivores: Elephant (Elephas maximus), Gaur (Bos gaurus), Sambar (Cervus unicolor), Chital or Spotted deer (Axis axis), Muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak) or Barking deer, Mouse deer (Tragulus meminna), Four horned antelope (Tetracerus quadricornis), Wild pig (Sus scrofa), Grey langur (Presbytis entellus), Bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata), Slender loris (Loris tardigradus), Black naped hare (Lepus nigricollis), Porcupine (Hystrix indica), Indian giant squirrel (Ratufa indica), Common giant flying squirrel (Petaurists petaurista), Three striped palm squirrel (funambulus palmarum).\nCarnivores: Tiger (Panthera tigris), Leopard (Panthera pardus), Leopard cat, Jungle cat (Felis chaus), Rusty-spotted cat, Common palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), Small Indian civet (Viverricula indica), Sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), Dhole or Asiatic wild dog(Cuon alpinus), Striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena), Golden jackal (Canis aureus), Common mongoose (Herpestes edwardsi), Striped-necked mongoose (Herpestes vitticollis), Ruddy mongoose (Herpestes smithii), Smooth Indian otter (Lutra perspicillata), Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata).\nBIRDS: Over 230 species have been identified. Some of the important groups include Herons, Storks, Egrets, Ducks, Kites, Eagles, Falcons, Quails, Partridges, Wildfowl, Lapwings, Sandpipers, Pigeons, Doves, Parakeets, Cuckoos, Owls, Nightjars, Swifts, Kingfishers, Bee-eaters, Barbets, Woodpeckers, Larks, Swallows, Shrikes, Orioles, Drongos, Mynas, Minivets, Bulbuls, Babblers, Flycatchers, Warblers, Thrushes, Chats, Tits, Nuthatches, Wagtails, Flowerpeckers, Sunbirds and Munias.\nREPTILES: Marsh crocodile (Crocodylus palustris), Indian pond terrapin, Starred tortoise (Geochelone elegans), Common Indian monitor (Varanus bengalensis), Indian chameleon (Chameleo zeylanicus), Forest calotes, Southern green calotes, Skinks (Mabuya spp.), Geckos (Hemidactylus), Common rat snake (Ptyas mucosus), Spectacled cobra, Russell's viper (Vipera russelli), Common krait, Indian python (Python molurus), Checkered keelback, Green whip snake, Common Indian bronzeback (Dendrelaphis tristis), Flying snake, Wolf snake, Trinket snake (Elaphe).\nRajiv Gandhi (Nagarahole) National Park\nEarlier known as Nagarahole National Park, this park got its name from the Nagara Hole (\"Snake River\" in Kannada) which runs eastwards through its centre. Nagarahole river flows through the park before it joins the Kabini river that also acts as a boundary between Nagarahole and Bandipur (the other facet of the Nilgiris Biosphere in Karnataka).\nTo its south east, the Kabini Reservoir connects the park to Bandipur National Park, while the Waynad Wildlife Sanctuary of Kerala adjoins to the Southeast. To the west, coffee plantations separate the park from Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary.\nFLORA & FAUNA: Covered chiefly by moist and dry deciduous forests, dominated by teak and rosewood, the terrain is gently undulating and well watered by streams. The drier eastern limits of the park consist of regenerating dry deciduous forests. Moving west, there is a gradual increase in rainfall which signals a shift in the vegetation from deciduous forests to tropical moist and semi-evergreen forests. Interspersed with these forests are swampy fallows called hadlus, which are dominated by grasses and represent favoured grazing areas of many wild herbivores. These diverse habitats contribute to the phenomenal abundance and enormous diversity of animal life in Nagarahole throughout the year.\nWith the onset of the pre-monsoon showers, the grandeur of Nagarahole begins to unfold. Most of the resident birds commence their breeding activities. The air is rent with the melodious calls of birds. Sprouting grass in the meadows and view lines attract elephants and the majestic gaur in large numbers. For the tourist who comes to watch the larger mammals in their natural surroundings, Nagarahole is a paradise from September to May.\nAs the backwaters of the Kabini Reservoir in the south-eastern portion of the park recede and fresh grass appears, the stage is set for huge congregations of large mammals, especially the elephant. This unique feature makes a breathtaking spectacle and is almost the only one of its kind in Asia.\nHerbivores: Elephant (Elephas maximus), Gaur (Bos gauras), Sambar (Cervus unicolor), Chital or Spotted deer or Axis deer (Axis axis), Muntjac or Barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak), Chevrotain or Mouse deer (Tragulus meminna), Four horned Antelope (Tetracerus quadricornis), Wild pig (Sus scrofa), Hanuman langur (Presbytis entellus), Bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata), Slender loris (Loris tardigradus), Black-naped hare (Lepus nigricollis), Indian Porcupine (Hystrix indica), Indian giant squirrel (Ratufa indica), Malabar Squirrel, large brown Flying Squirrel (Petaurista petaurista), Threestriped palm squirrel (Funambulus palamarum), Giant fruit bat (Pteropus giganteus).\nCarnivores: Tiger (Panthera Tigris), Leopard (Panthera pardus), Leopard cat (Felis bengalensis), Jungle cat (Felis chaus), Rusty spotted Cat (Felis rubiginosa), Common palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), Small Indian civet (Viverricula indica), Sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), Dhole or Asiatic wild dog (Cuon alpinus), Striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena), Golden jackal (Canis auereus), Common mongoose (Herpestes edwardsi), Striped necked mongoose (Herpestes vitticollis), Brown mongoose (Herpestes fuscus), Ruddy Mongoose (Herpestes smithii), Common Indian otter (Lutra lutra), Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) and Flying fox (Ptreopus giganteus), the largest Indian Bat.\nBIRDS: Over 250 species of birds have been identified in the Park. Some of the important groups include Herons, Storks, Egrets, Ducks, Kites, Eagles, Falcons, Partridges, Quails, Peafowl, Owls, Lapwings, Sandpipers, Pigeons, Doves, Parakeets, Cuckoos, Nightjars, Swifts, Kingfishers, Bee-eaters, Barbets, Swallows, Larks, Woodpeckers, Shrikes, Orioles, Drongos, Mynas, Minivets, Bulbuls, Babblers, Flycatchers, Warblers, Thrushes, Chats, Tits, Nuthatches, Wagtails, Sunbirds, Flower-peckers, and Munias\nREPTILES & INVERTEBRATES: Reptiles include Marsh crocodile (Crocodylus palustris), Indian pond terrapin, Star tortoise, Common Indian monitor lizard (Varanus bengalensis) , Indian chameleon, Forest calotes, Southern green calotes, Skinks (Mabuya spp.), Geckos, Common rat snake, Spectacled cobra, Russell's viper, Common krait, Indian python (Python molurus), Checkered keelback, Green whip snake, Common Indian bronzeback, Flying snake, Wolf snake and Trinket snake.\nAnshi National Park\nAnshi (250 sq. km) was earlier part of Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary. It was proposed to be made a National Park on 2nd September 1987, and the final declaration is awaited. The park lies in the Western Ghats, adjoining the state of Goa. To its north is Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary.\nGEOGRAPHY: It is located in Uttara Kannada district from 14°54' to 15°07'N latitude and 74°16' to 74°30'E longitude. Altitude varies from 27 m to 927 m, and temperatures from 15°C to 35°C. Average annual rainfall is about 4700 mm. It is interesting to know that despite the high rainfall in this area, waterholes go dry very early in summer. This is because the soil is very lateritic with very minimal water-holding capacity. To overcome the scarcity of water for animals in the park, a bore well pumps water into a man-made tank.\nFLORA: The area has semi-evergreen and evergreen forests. Some common tree species in the area are Callophyllum tomentosa, C. wightianum, Garcina cambogia, G. morealla, Knema attenuata, Hopea wightiana, Tetrameles nudiflora, Alstonia scholaris, Flacourtia montana, Machilus marcrantha, Carallia brachiata, Artocarpus hitsuta, A laoocha and Cinnamomum zeylanicum.\nFAUNA: Mammals in the park include elephant, gaur, wild pig, sambar, spotted deer, barking deer, mouse deer, common langur, bonnet macaque, slender loris, tiger, jungle cat, leopard (black panther), leopard cat, small Indian civet, common mongoose, jackal, wild dog, sloth bear, malabar giant squirrel, giant flying squirrel and porcupine. King cobra, python, cobra, rat snake, viper and krait are among the snakes that inhabit the park. The king cobra is commonly seen in the Gund range. Interesting birds include the great pied hornbill, malabar pied hornbill and ceylon frogmouth.\nBannerghatta National Park\nBannerghatta (104.27 sq. km) is conveniently placed just 22 km south of Bangalore, and consequently well visited. It was proposed to be made a National Park on 6th September 1974 and is awaiting final declaration.\nGEOGRAPHY: It is located in Bangalore district from 12°34' to 12°50'N latitude and 77°31' to 77°38'E longitude. Altitude varies from 740 to 1034 m, temperature from 20° to 35°C and the average annual rainfall is 700 mm.\nFLORA: The area has mostly dry deciduous forests and thorny scrub, with patches of moist deciduous forests along the streams. Tree species in the park include Anogeissus latifolia, Schleichera oleosa, Terminalia tomentosa, T. arjuna. Grewia tilaefolia, Santalum album, Shorea talura, Emblica officinalis, Vitex altissima, Wrightia tinctoria, Randia sp. Zizphus sp. and Albizzia sp. Bamboos are common in the park, the dominant species being Dendrocalamus strictus. A small area of the park has plantations of Eucalyptus, Bauhinia purpurea, Samanea saman and Peltphorum pterocarpum.\nFAUNA: Mammals in the park include leopard, gaur, elephant, jackal, fox, wild pig, sloth bear, sambar, spotted deer, barking deer, common langur, bonnet macaque, porcupine and hare. A tiger has recently been sighted in the park.\nKudremukh National Park\nKudremukh (600.32 sq. km) is one of Karnataka's more recent parks, the intention to declare it a National Park being issued on 2nd September 1987. Located in the Western Ghats, it has one of the most beautiful landscapes with evergreen and semi-evergreen forests and grassland shola habitat, which is characteristic of the higher altitudes of the Western Ghats. However, there are a number of settlement enclosures within the park, including the Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Ltd. (KIOCL), the country's largest mining and pelletization complex.\nGEOGRAPHY: It is located in the districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Chikmagalur from 13°01' to 13°29'N latitude and 75°01' to 75°25'E longitude. Altitude varies from 134 to 1892 m, the highest point being the Kudremukh peak in the south of the park. The park has a pleasant climate, with temperatures ranging from 17° to 28°C. Annual rainfall varies from 1778 to 6350 mm, with an average of 4000 mm. The park is flanked by coffee and tea estates on the north and east, while there is a drop down the Western Ghats to sea level to the west. To the north-west, a forest corridor connects the park to Someshwara Sanctuary. A central ridge runs north-south through the park and the rivers Nethravati, Tunga and Bhadra are believed to originate here at Ganga Moola.\nFLORA: The park has mostly evergreen and semi-evergreen forests. Shola grassland habitat is found at elevations above 1400 m. The shola forests in the park and in Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary represent the northern limit of this vegetation type. Evergreen trees include Poeciloneuron indicum, Heligrarna arnottiana, Artocarpus sp., Calophyllum sp., Alstonia scholaris, Canarium strictum, Syzygium cumini, Flacourtia montana, Symplocos spicata, Hopea parviflora, Mesua ferra and Evodia roxburghiana. There are also a few plantations of Eucalyptus, Casuarina and Acacia auriculiformis.\nFAUNA: Mammals in the park include tiger, leopard, wild dog, jackal, lion-tailed macaque, common langur, sloth bear, gaur, sambar, spotted deer, barking deer, Malabar giant squirrel, giant flying squirrel, porcupine and mongoose. Reptiles are represented by snakes and tortoises. The bird life in the park is very good and includes fairly rare birds like the Malabar trogon, great pied hornbill, Malabar whistling thrush and imperial pigeon.", "label": "No"} {"text": "With each passing month, certain foods and?fad diets?come in and out of favor. One food that’s been on the “bad” list for a while is bread?more specifically, gluten. “Today, as many as one in three Americans avoids gluten?a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye?thereby eliminating grains and cereals from the diet,” notes Lisa Mosconi, Ph.D., an integrated nutrition health coach and associate director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at NewYork?Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.\nThese numbers are staggering, and while only 1% of the population suffers from Celiac disease and approximately another 6% have other gluten sensitivities and should also avoid gluten,?“for the other 93% of us, a?gluten-free diet?is not only unnecessary but can do more harm than good,”?warns Mosconi, who recently expounded on this topic on MindBodyGreen.\nIS GLUTEN BAD FOR THE?BRAIN?\nThose living without gluten allergies avoid gluten for a number of reasons, but one has to do with scares over its effects on the brain. Mosconi says that as a neuroscientist with backgrounds in nuclear medicine (aka brain imaging) and nutrition, she’s frequently asked whether gluten is bad for the brain and whether it should be avoided.?“The short answer is: No,?do not fear gluten,”?she assures. “From the point of view of those who rely on peer-reviewed science, there is no conclusive scientific evidence of a connection between gluten consumption and cognitive decline in dementia.”\nWHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BRAIN WHEN YOU CUT?CARBS?\nIn fact, avoiding gluten if you don’t need to can actually have more negative effects for your brain. “First off, the witch hunt against gluten has led many people to go on low-carb diets,” Mosconi notes. “Since fiber comes mostly from grains (besides vegetables and legumes), low-carb diets can be alarmingly low in fiber as well.” She explains that among the scientific community, “there is a strong consensus that a diet rich in carbohydrates and fiber is crucial for brain health and Alzheimer’s prevention.” Fiber deficiencies also harm our guts and subsequently our microbiome, which can also pose negative long-term effects on the brain and incite brain fog, confusion, and even anxiety.\nWHAT HEALTHY CARBS SHOULD WE BE?EATING?\nMosconi lists complex carbohydrates?such as whole grains, brown rice, oats, and sweet potatoes?as foods that provide a great number of health benefits, especially for the brain. Packed with brain-supportive nutrients like antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals, it’s not surprising that these high-fiber foods have been found to make up a great portion of the diets of individuals who have lived to 100 or older.\nFor those who have Celiac disease or are sensitive to gluten, Mosconi advises focussing on gluten-free grains like rice, amaranth, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, sorghum, and teff. Last but not least, vegetables and fruit are technically carbs, but they should be a hefty portion of your daily diet. Ultimately, Mosconi reminds us to spend less time figuring out what’s wrong with one isolated nutrient?like gluten?and more time improving our overall diets with wholesome foods.\nClick here for full podcast playlist.", "label": "No"} {"text": "University of Turin\nThe University of Turin was founded as a studium in 1404, under the initiative of Prince Ludovico di Savoia.

You can provide them with toys or a sandbox or figurines of their favorite cartoon characters, but they don’t need any of those things. They’ll play wherever they are and play with whatever they have.\nMaybe you have seen little kids stuck at an airport running around with “toys” such as an empty soda bottle or a plastic spoon. Who knew those things could be so entertaining? They make it look so fun you feel like joining in!\nWe want to give our children the best opportunities to learn and to play. We try to make sure they have the best teachers and even the best schools if we have a choice in the matter. We enroll them in soccer, gymnastics, basketball, and other sports and try to teach them the rules and the fine points of the games. It’s only natural to try to guide them.\nHowever, one of the best things we can do for our children is to let them play on their own without any structure, rules, or guidance.\nThe science of play\nAccording to scientific study, playing changes the neural connections in the front parts of children’s brains, called the prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain helps regulate emotions and aids in problem-solving and planning abilities.\nThis brain development is accomplished by free play, where children use their creativity and own ideas to come up with a desired game or type of play. Think back to the kid with the soda bottle. No one had to tell her how to play with it. It was the only offering the parents had, and she did all the rest.\nWrestling, making a fort, creating animals out of sticks, figuring out a game with a ball—all these activities help the brain build new circuits to aid in various social interactions and play. Children will find this type of play on their own if parents let them. Giving them the environment and opportunity is essential, but let them play on their own and in their own way.\nA structure for unstructured play\nIronically, one of the best ways to induce unstructured play is the play structure. Don’t let the words mislead you. Commercial play structures provide a vehicle for creativity* but your children will do all the playing without instruction or any help from you.\nPlay can be a source of physical activity and development. Running, climbing, jumping, and other activities will develop strength, agility, and fine motor skills. Play structures offer attachments such as swings, slides, climbing ropes, and bridges. Usually, there is an inside of the structure that can serve as a fort or hideout conducive to social activity and development.\nChildren build self-confidence through play by meeting challenges from their peers or being able to traverse the horizontal ladder with only their arms or climbing the rope all the way to the top. Natural, unstructured learning will take place as games are created, modified, and played. Children will learn to share and take turns.\nSocialization skills are fine-tuned as children learn to play well together, cooperate, and share. Remember some of the yard and playground games of your youth? The rules often changed to offer a new twist, or in some cases, to give scheming children a greater advantage. However, all these things need to be discussed, worked out, and implemented by the children involved.\nAnimals play, too\nAnimals are the same as children in their creative, unstructured play. Have you ever seen kittens stalk and jump on each other? Rats do the same thing: jump and pile on each other, chase one another around the cage, and wrestle for food. We often refer to our children as playing like puppies, so we know dogs offer many examples of unstructured play.\nDogs and puppies get in on whatever action there is. You may have had a good pair of shoes that served as an excellent play toy without your prior knowledge. Maybe the new pillows you bought are missing some stuffing from a past day’s play.\nPlay is much the same across many different species of animals. It is unstructured and looks that way, but they do follow some conventions if not rules. They don’t actually hurt each other on purpose, although it sometimes happens, just like with people. They take turns and usually involve everyone. In this way, play helps both animals and people develop social skills and create bonds among each other.\nPlay for success\nStudies have shown children who play often are better students. An accurate prediction of academic success is how socially skilled children were in third grade. Those who played well with others and played often had a better chance to succeed academically later in school.\nTraits like the ability to cooperate, to share, and to show empathy all were developed in the play environment and translated into academic success later in their schooling. Recess is being reconsidered as an educational tool now too, rather than just a break from learning.\nYes, we need balance. No one wants children playing all day, especially unsupervised. Certainly, they need to study, too, and to do their homework. Keep in mind, though, that when children play—especially in an unstructured environment—they are learning and developing many skills that will aid in their future success. Let them play, and let them tell you about how much fun they had and about the friends they have made.\n*This is not a paid link, it was included because of the quality of the content.", "label": "No"} {"text": "ORAL CANCER IS A SUBJECT we’d all prefer not to have to think about, but it’s critical to have a basic understanding of risk factors and symptoms. More than 5,000 people in Australia were diagnosed with oral cancer last year, and that number is expected to rise. That’s why, in honor of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we’re dedicating a blog post to giving our patients the tools they need for early detection.\n`Oral Cancer Risk Factors\nThere are several risk factors that increase a person’s chances of developing oral cancer. Some of them are out of our control, such as age and sex. Men are twice as likely as women to develop oral cancer, and it is far more common in people over 45. But there are plenty of risk factors that we can control, the biggest of which is tobacco. A whopping 85 percent of oral cancer cases are linked to some kind of tobacco use (even e-cigarettes). The next biggest avoidable risk factor is frequent, heavy alcohol consumption.\nA few of the less-obvious risk factors include getting too much sun (which can cause lip cancer), HPV, and neglecting your oral hygiene, particularly if you also smoke. You can eliminate this risk factor by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental appointments!\nSymptoms To Watch Out For\nUnfortunately, even people with none of these risk factors will sometimes develop oral cancer anyway, which is why it’s important to be able to recognize the symptoms, which include:\n- A sore in the mouth or on the lip that doesn’t heal\n- Red or white patches inside the mouth\n- Unusual lump on lip, mouth, neck, or throat, or strange thickness in the cheek\n- Persistent sensation of having something stuck in the throat\n- Numbness of mouth or tongue\n- Difficulty with chewing or swallowing\n- Chronic bad breath\nIf you do have one or more of the risk factors for oral cancer, getting regular general health screenings can catch it before you even notice any symptoms. The earlier oral cancer is caught, the easier it is to beat it.\nWhere Does The Dentist Fit In?\nAnother way oral cancer is caught early is at regular dental exams! In addition to checking your teeth for cavities and your gums for signs of gum disease, your dentist can spot many of those early symptoms of oral cancer while they’re looking at your mouth, which is just one more reason why it’s so important to keep scheduling your dental appointments!\nEven if you don’t have oral cancer or any of the risk factors, you can still help the people who are fighting this disease. Ask us how you can get involved!\nWe look forward to seeing you soon!\nThe content on this blog is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Blockage of one or more coronary arteries by formation of a blood clot (thrombus) or slow blood flow, caused by low blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythm or atherosclerosis (narrowing of blood vessels), are the most common causes of MI.\nWhy Study Myocardial Infarction?\nMI is a life-threatening condition affecting over 3 million people a year. Irreversible damage occurs within 30 minutes of oxygen deprivation, so fast response in MI recognition and treatment is necessary to not only prevent further damage to the heart, but to prevent death. Researchers studying MI are interested in a number of aspects surrounding the event, including risk factors, prevention, treatment (before, during and after MI), and pain management during an event to decrease the workload of the heart.\nQuestions Researchers are Asking\n- What markers might be used to predict the event?\n- Can life-style changes (diet, exercise etc.) make a measurable difference?\n- Are there drug therapies or surgical programs that can prevent MI?\n- When should preventative measures be taken?\n- Can the oxygen supply be restored before cell death occurs?\n- If cell death occurs, how can the damage be contained?\n- Is there a way to repair damaged/dead cardiac cells?\nHow is Myocardial Infarction Studied?\nAnimal and cellular models are used to study the various aspects of MI. Animal models used to study MI include mice, rats, rabbits, canines, swine, and non-human primates. These animal models may be used as whole animal models, where measurements like pressure, heart rate and electrocardiogram are used as biomarkers of ischemia and MI. Additionally, there are a number of models that employ isolated tissues to study the progression of MI. These isolated systems often need to merge data from multiple sources.\nDSI and the Harvard Bioscience family have solutions for cardiomyocyte isolation, isolated heart perfusion, telemetry that measures pressure, heart rate and electrocardiograms in freely moving subjects, as well as hardwired solutions capable of combining telemetry with other systems used in tissue research. Cardiovascular data can be collected and analyzed with the Ponemah Software Platform.\nDSI implants are designed for monitoring and collecting data from conscious, freely moving animals. Implants are offered in different sizes to support a variety of animal species including mice, rats, dogs, swine, and non-human primates. Several telemetry models are capable of monitoring ECG, blood pressure, temperature, and activity simultaneously or individually.\nShort durations of functional endpoints are collected non-invasively from chemically or physically restrained animals that are connected to external devices capable of monitoring surface ECG, blood pressure or third party signals and recording directly into an acquisition and analysis computer system.\nECG and blood pressure signals are collected from conscious, freely moving animals wearing a jacket which contains and protects a small JET device capable of monitoring cardiovascular data and transmitting data to an acquisition and analysis computer system.\nFor mouse to small rabbit hearts, Hugo Sachs perfusion systems are designed for simple and constant flow perfusion for cardiomyocyte isolation from small rodent hearts. Can be adapted for other small rodent organs in situ or ex vivo . Easy to set up, operate and maintain.\nHugo Sachs’ IH series of isolated heart perfusion systems is the gold standard for cardiac physiology measurements in both retrograde heart perfusion and working ejecting heart perfusion modes. Modular in design, our systems provide the flexibility to tailor a system to fit your research needs and the data can be acquired and analyzed in Ponemah, limiting the amount of systems in your lab.\n1080 Myocardial Infarction articles citing DSI in Google Scholar", "label": "No"} {"text": "Use of Recycled Tire Rubber in Concrete\nMore than 250 million scrap tires weighing more than 3 million tons are generated each year in the United States (Naik and Siddique 2002). This is considered as one of the major environmental challenges facing municipalities around the world because waste rubber is not easily biodegradable even after a long period of landfill treatment. One of the solutions suggested is the use of tire rubber particles as additives in cement-based materials.\nAlthough concrete is the most popular construction material, it has some limited properties: low tensile strength, low ductility, low energy absorption, and shrinkage and cracking associated with hardening and curing (Wang et al. 2000). Several studies performed recently showed application of the recycled tire rubber might improve these weak characteristics of concrete.\nWhile rubberized asphalt has been used for decades on roadways (in fact, Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) set in 1991 mandated the use a minimum of 5% recycled rubber by weight of asphalt place and the percent of rubber used was to increase gradually up to 20% by the year 1997. The mandate was revoked in 1996 (Khatib et al. 1999)), rubberized concrete is a technology infant. Many studies have been performed to investigate the feasibility of the usage. Since a number of ways to use the recycled rubber in the concrete design are possible and there are still many factors and properties that should be investigated, it may be difficult to expect that mass production-base rubberized concrete is able to be available in the market today or next week. However, many study results have proven the mechanical and environmental advantages of the use of recycled tire as addition to cement concrete.\nMany experiments were done to find out appropriate methods of rubber application. Commonly, fully replacing coarse aggregate (gravel) or fine aggregate (sand) with rubber is not appropriate because the loss of strength is too severe. However, with small portion of aggregates replaced, the loss in compressive strength was not significant. A research study by Khatib et al. (1999) and Schimizze et al. (1994) suggested that rubber should not exceed 17-20% of the total aggregate volume. Experiments under the laboratory environments commonly presented that the use of rubber in the concrete cement mix reduced drying shrinkage, brittleness, and elastic modulus, which might improve the overall durability and serviceability of concrete cement.\n- Recycling of scrap tires suggesting an environmental solution.\n- Reduction of plastic shrinkage cracking\n- Diminishment of the vulnerability of concrete to catastrophic failure\nRecently, Dr. Zhu (Arizona State University) tried to apply rubberized concrete in the real world cases including dozens of residential and commercial sites. Crumb rubber of 8 percent of the cement weight was used.\n- Large variation of concrete performance according to the application method and ratio of rubber usage - sensitive to variations in procedure (Chung and Hong 1999)\n- Costly procedure of rubber particle preparation\n- Chung, K., and Hong, Y.

It is essential to know that in as much as they are hard to cut, these materials are still utilized in a variety of ways while making some devices. It is important to acknowledge the fact that metals are the primary materials that are used in making machinery. To get the materials into the required shapes, they must be sliced. One is supposed to know that the metals are cut using a proper machine. You are supposed to know that waterjet is one of the inventions that can be used in cutting the metals. This machines makes the use of water and certain abrasions to make this happen. A jet of water at high velocity and pressure is applied here. There are advantages of using the waterjet cutter. The following are some of them.\nIt is important to have in mind that waterjet cutter slices the metals without increasing temperatures. You are supposed to have in mind that the heat is low when slicing is done using this device. It should be noted that the metals will not melt nor get distorted. It is important to understand what high heat can do to metals. After understanding this, it will be easy to appreciate the waterjet devices.\nThe second benefit is that it can cut into any direction. You are required to know that there are those that are unidirectional. What you need to know is that such machines restrict one when it comes to shaping the metals. Therefore, it is necessary to appreciate the waterjet cutters. It is necessary to know that this machine can also slice any other material. One is required to know that there are no materials that cannot be sliced using the waterjet cutter. It is essential to realize that the device can cut without making holes on the material being drilled.\nThe other thing that you are supposed to know is that it is environmentally friendly. It is important to know that there are machines that cannot be used in open areas because they pollute the environment. It is important to understand that the waterjet cutter is unlike such tools since it can be used anywhere without any problems.

The middle brother (the hunter/outdoorsman guy) wastes away and dies in prison because his memories of nature are so strong that he can't stand being in a dungeon. But, for the speaker, memories of the world outside the dungeon actually keep him going. The glimpses the prisoner has of the natural world – the bird that appears at the grate after his youngest brother dies, the view of the lake and mountains he can see from the grate – give him the will to live after everyone dear to him has died.\nQuestions About Man and the Natural World\n- How is the prisoner able to survive the death of his younger brother?\n- What is the significance of the bird?

A repeat can be expected in about 40 years.\nThe close encounter has got the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa’s Durban centre very excited – but not concerned that it will crash into Earth, destroy a city or cause a tsunami.\n“Hundreds of asteroids strike the Earth’s atmosphere daily and burn out before they hit the ground,” said Logan Govender, chairman of the society’s Durban centre.\n“What makes this asteroid different is that it would pass inside the ring of the geosynchronous weather and communication satellites orbit, about 36 000km away from the Earth, the closest an asteroid of this size would approach Earth.”\nAccording to the book “Orbital Mechanics”, a geosynchronous orbit is an orbit around Earth with an orbital period of one sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds), matching Earth’s sidereal rotation period. An object in this orbit would return to the same spot in the sky after one day.\nGovender explained that while this may be the closest an asteroid of this size would pass Earth, 36 000km was still quite a distance.\n“The distance from here to London is about 10 000km, so it would be that trip three times over.”\nHe said it would not crash into Earth’s surface, but even if it did, 70 percent of the planet is covered by water, which would be the most likely landing spot.\nShould it land in the sea, it would cause a tsunami, said Govender. Should it hit land, it would have the capacity to wipe out a city the size of Durban.\nNasa said on its website it can accurately predict the asteroid’s path, and that there was no chance that 2012 DA14 might be on a collision course with Earth.\nThe asteroid was discovered last February by astronomers at the La Sagra Sky Survey programme in southern Spain.\nAt the time, Nasa reported that the asteroid had just made a fairly distant passage by Earth, about seven times further than the moon.\n“Since 2012 DA14’s orbital period around the sun has been about 368 days, which is very similar to the Earth’s, the asteroid made a series of annual close approaches,” according to Nasa. “This year’s the closest approach, and is the closest the asteroid will come for at least three decades.”\nHowever, the agency said it would only appear as a point of light in the biggest optical telescopes.\nGovender said it would be too small for the naked eye but could be seen using binoculars fixed on a tripod or a telescope.\nThe best viewing will be in east Europe, parts of Asia and Australia. It would be closest to Earth next Friday at 9.30pm in South Africa.\nNasa said that although it would be close enough to pass inside the ring of geosynchronous satellites, it would still be well above most of them, including the International Space Station.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Question: The quantity supplied and the price of product Z are given below:\n|Price (Rs.

This wallpaper was upload at May 9, 2018 upload by Admin in Cat Breeds.\nA Basic Introduction to Cat Eye Care – The eyes of your feline friends have often been used on horror films. But if you are a pet owner, you will know that the cat’s stare is really the opposite of what’s being portrayed in films. That is why you have to know the importance of cat eye care.\nI Love You\nHow do cats say these words? Through their eyes, of course. That is why you shouldn’t be frightened by that gaze. How does this work? First, the cat stares at you for a long while. And after that, it blinks its eyes slowly. Some people tag this as a cat’s kiss. But you can also say that this is your cat’s way of saying that it loves you.\nBut how do you return the favor? Easy, just follow your cat’s lead. Stare at it for a long time and then slowly blink your eyes. See? Cats’ eyes can also be used as elements for romantic films.\nNot a Third Eye\nDon’t believe the horror films you see. Cats don’t have a third eye. Their eyesight is really sharper than with humans. Instead of a third eye, what cats have is a third eyelid. This is called a nictitating membrane.\nThis inner eyelid protects the eyes of the cats from harm and also from dryness. You will notice that when a cat is sick, this membrane will somewhat close. This should alarm you to call the vet or get your cat to them fast.\nBut this third eyelid will also show once a cat is happy. So you will know what mood your cat is in just by looking at the membrane.\nYour feline friend’s pupil of the eyes should also be observed. A change in the size of one pupil can be an indication of an inflammation. It can also be a sign of a kind of a disorder in neurologic called Horner’s Syndrome. Or worse, it can also indicate tumors or injuries in the central nervous system.\nThe Nocturnal Vision\nDo not believe what others say that cats are color blind. They see some. They may not see as clear as humans do, but it’s not that they cannot see any colors at all.\nCats can also see clearly from afar. It’s very different from people. They find it blurry to be looking at things that are so close to them.\nYes, cats have the nocturnal vision. But they can’t see in complete darkness. Do you see the muscles on their iris that surround the pupils of their eyes? They are constructed in a way that it narrows into a vertical split when they are exposed in the bright lights. And it opens fully when the acts are in a quite dim light.\nThis feature of the cats may be traced back to their roots. They can use such to hunt for food during the night if they were left out in the jungle or left with no one to care for them.\nSo forget about the horror flicks. You’ve already got the thrills. Not it’s time to put some effort into cat eye care. Do not let a minor thing worse. Call the vet immediately when something’s amiss. You don’t want your cat to lose their sight or even lose their lives. It is always better to be safe than blind.\nRead More : 5 Ragdoll Cats\n5 Sphynx – is a free Complete Home Decoration Ideas Gallery posted at.

Don’t let these fun celebrations be full of excess sugar, fat and calories. Make it a goal to limit these at your celebrations.\nThere are a lot of tips and ideas for how to create a healthy and fun celebration so people won’t even realize the candy and high calorie goodies are missing from the party. I really like the resource “Making Celebrations Healthy and Active”from the Choose MyPlate website. Below is a summary of what you will find in each section.\nSection one contains ideas for selecting healthy foods and delicious drinks. It provides several healthy ideas from each of the five food groups. A few examples include serving fruit kabobs, sweet potato fries, whole grain crackers, hot chocolate or hummus.\nIn section two you will find tips to make party planning easy. It has several active games such as “Mirror Image” and “Freeze Dance.” And if you prefer not to completely eliminate sweets, this section gives suggestions such as using mini-cupcakes or snack size candy bars.\nMy favorite section is Section 3, “Let the Party Begin.” This section provides you with several party themes from pirates, to dance fever, to a fiesta and more. Unfortunately, there are not any holiday specific themes, but you can certainly use and adapt the other party themes to fit a holiday party.\nIf the party is at a location that does not allow homemade snacks, don’t feel like you are limited to buying prepackaged foods. Instead, make preparing the food part of the party. Children enjoy making simple foods and it is also provides them a hands-on opportunity to learn more about food. Who knows, making a snack may even be the highlight of the party! Section 3 includes several easy party foods children can make such as ants on a log, fruit parfait, and an orange and banana frosty.\nIf you are a teacher or ECFE parent educator, you can use the “Creating Healthy and Active Celebrations” as the basis for a parent session on healthy eating and being active. Families will discover creating an active and healthy celebration can be lots of fun!\nVisit Making Healthy and Active Celebrations on the MyPlate website to view the different sections and access other party resources.\nMary Schroeder works for the University of Minnesota Extension which helps to connect community needs with University of Minnesota resources.

Melchior is the traditional name of one of the three Magi, or Wise Men.\nThe Bible says that after Jesus was born, wise men from the east came to visit him bearing three gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh. Over time, the story of the Three Wise Men developed, and they received names: Melchior, Balthasar and Caspar. Bede states that Melchior was an old man, Balthasar was a middle-aged man and Caspar was a young man. Other traditions assign other identities and gifts to the names. For example, the J. Paul Getty Trust website states that in Andrea Mantegna's masterful painting \"Adoration of the Magi,\" Melchior is the middle-aged visitor bearing frankincense.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Why Do Sheep Curl Their Upper Lip\nWhat is the Flehmen Response\nWhy Do Sheep Curl Their Upper Lip – The curling of the upper lip in sheep called flehmen response or flehmening, is an instinctive behavior, behavior pattern in which an animal curls back its upper lips exposing its front teeth, inhales with the nostrils usually closed, and then often holds this position for several seconds.\nIt may be performed over a site or substance of particular interest to the animal (e.g. urine or faces) or may be performed with the neck stretched and the head held high in the air. Flehmen is performed by a wide range of mammals including ungulates and felids.\nThe behavior facilitates the transfer of pheromones and other scents into the vomeronasal organ located above the roof of the mouth via a duct that exits just behind the front teeth of the animal.\nAn animal investigating odors or tastes at sites of particular interest or perhaps more generally may perform the flehmen response. This response is characterized by the animal curling back its top lips exposing the front teeth and gums, then inhaling and holding the posture for several seconds.\nThe behavior may be performed over particular locations, in which case the animal may also lick the site of interest, or it may be performed with the neck stretched and head held high in the air for a more general gustatory investigation.\nThe flehmen response often gives the appearance that the animal is “grimacing”, “smirking” or “laughing”.\nFunction of Curled Upper lip\nThe main function of flehmen is to transfer air containing pheromones and other scents to the vomeronasal organ, a chemosensory organ located between the roof of the mouth and the palate. This provides chemical cues that animals use in a variety of ways.\nIdentifying Reproductive Status:\nMale individuals commonly use the flehmen response as an olfactory mechanism for identifying the reproductive state of females of the same species based on pheromones in the female’s urine or genitals.\nThis is exhibited in sheep; flehmen by rams, after sniffing the ewes’ external genital region, occurs most frequently on the day before estrus , when the ewes were sexually receptive.\nFlehmen behavior also plays a role in reproductive synchrony between females. In the sable antelope, the frequency of flehmen changed seasonally, with the highest levels just prior to conception. Female antelopes associated closely with other females in the same reproductive state. Flehmen rates between females anticipated birth synchrony.\nAdditionally, the level of synchrony was predicted by the frequency of female urine sampling during the previous year. Flehmen is a mechanism used by female sable antelopes to manipulate the timing of both conception and birth of offspring.\nIn the American bison, flehmen behavior in females has also been shown to stimulate the onset of estrus and copulation synchronization.\nThe flehmen response is not limited to conspecific communication. Goats have been tested for their flehmen response to urine from 20 different species, including several non-mammalian species.\nThis study suggests there is a common element in the urine of all animals, a pheromone, which elicits flehmen behavior. Specifically, chemical pheromone levels of a modified form of androgen , a sex hormone, were associated with the response in goats.\nMares commonly show a peak in flehmen response during the first few hours after giving birth. Smelling the newborn foal and the amniotic fluids associated with birth often produce the reaction.\nImmature animals: In young horses, both colts (males) and fillies (females) exhibit flehmen behavior towards other conspecifics with neither sex performing the behavior more than the other.\nHowever, it has been reported that young colts flehmen up to five times more frequently than fillies, and fillies flehmen more frequently than mature mares. Young elephants also have a flehmen response to stimulants. The VNO of newborn elephants displays a structural maturity similar to adults, which supports the conclusion that flehmen at only six weeks of age is used to deliver chemical pheromones to a functional vomeronasal organ\nPhysiology / Jacobson’s Organ\nThe flehmen response draws air into the vomeronasal organ or Jacobson’s organ, an auxiliary olfactory sense organ that is found in many animals. This organ plays a role in the perception of certain scents and pheromones.\nIt is named for its closeness to the vomer and nasal bones and is particularly well developed in animals such as cats and horses. The vomeronasal organ is found at the base of the nasal cavity.\nIt is encompassed inside a bony or cartilaginous capsule that opens into the base of the nasal cavity. Animals that exhibit flehmen have a papilla located behind the incisors and ducts which connect the oral cavity to the vomeronasal organ; horses are an exception, they exhibit flehmen but do not have an incisive duct communication between the nasal and oral cavity.\nRomantic Chemical Cues\nThe chemical cue obtained by an animal exhibiting the flehmen response is the presence of a non-volatile organic compound. In contrast to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), non-volatile organic compounds are those carbon compounds that do not participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions or evaporate under normal atmospheric conditions.\nThe vomeronasal organ detects non-VOCs, which must have direct contact with the odor source. Sources of non-VOCs relevant to the flehmen response include pheromones and hormones excreted from the genital regions or urine of animals.\nReproductive Behavior of Sheep\nRams have characteristic courtship patterns that precede mating. Typically a ram approaches a ewe in a low stretch position with the head angled to the side. Often the ram contacts the flank of the female kicks out a foreleg and sniffs the vulva.\nAfter contact by the ram, the ewe often urinates. The ram sniffs both the vulva and urine, and the flehmen response usually occurs in which the ram arches the head upwards and with an open jaw draws odors rapidly over the nasal passage and turbinates. The flehmen response is believed to facilitate the detection of estrus. Some rams will mount several times before ejaculating, and others may service a ewe during the first mount.\nFurthermore, sexually inexperienced rams or ram lambs often have orientation problems with respect to mounting behavior. Young rams are typically subordinate to more experienced rams and the dominance order can affect the efficiency of multiple-sire mating.\nAt least three rams per multi-sire pen are recommended to lessen dominance effects. Within a group of ewes, rams also show some preference for certain females while ignoring others in estrus and this accounts for some differences in the distribution of lambing.\nSheep Farming for Wool Profitability Table\n|Sheep||Lambs / 3 Per Yr||Space Required 20 Sq Feet -

The study of the rikishi is deeply connected with sumo wrestling and has been treated as the history of sumo. Archaeological research on rikishi has studied the rikishi haniwa (terracotta figures depicting a rikishi). The henpei-mage (flat topknot hairstyle), characteristic of the rikishi haniwa, has never been examined substantially. However, in recent years, an opinion has emerged that it is the figure of the sumo wrestler wearing a mask; thus, it is necessary to re-examine conventional understanding of the henpei-mage including the interpretation around archaeological genealogy.\nIn this paper, I analyze the henpei-mage of the rikishi haniwa and examine its character based on how mounded tombs were constructed. I then compare it and the hairstyles of rikishi depicted in mural paintings of the mounded tombs of Koguryo. By clarifying their similarities and differences, I attempt a new interpretation of the henpei-mage.\nBased on this examination, it is thought that the rikishi was a hereditary social group attached to the local elite. The evidence that the hereditary social group and the sumo came across the sea is not seen in documented historical materials and other archaeological documents. However based on the comparative analysis in this paper, I point out that its evidence is not only the figure, a loincloth and half-nakedness, but also the henpei-mage hairstyle that are common to both. I conclude that the henpei-mage of the rikishi haniwa is a reflection of sumo being the imported performing arts.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Construction of the sophisticated plasmodesmata was linked to C4 photosynthesis, and plasmodesmata assembly finished more rapidly in maize mutants with defective C4 pathways than in wild-type plants. Aggregative movement of M chloroplasts in field-grown finger millet and maize in midsummer. ABA, which is a signal transducer in response to environmental stresses, is proposed to function as a trigger for the chloroplast movements in C4 and CAM plants. Mesophyll chloroplasts are randomly distributed along cell walls, whereas bundle sheath chloroplasts are located close to the vascular tissues or mesophyll cells depending on the plant species. S1, S2). Just as the M and BS chloroplasts are structurally and functionally differentiated, so their intracellular orientation is also different: M chloroplasts of all C4 species are randomly distributed along the cell walls, while BS chloroplasts are typically located in the centripetal position (close to the vascular tissue, as in finger millet) or the centrifugal position (close to M cells, as in maize). So who is right? Autofluorescence of chloroplasts was excited with the 543 nm wavelength of a HeNe laser and imaged using an LP560 longpass filter. 2002). 4B). with mesophyll and bundle-sheath cells in two concentric layers. Inoue and Shibata (1974) reported that absorbance of leaves from five graminaceous C4 species decreased in response to blue light (about 86 μmol quanta m−2 s−1), but the light intensity was much lower than that necessary for the obvious aggregative movement induced by white light in our experiment. Epub 2016 Oct 7. The C4 dicarboxylate cycle of photosynthetic carbon assimilation is distributed between the two cell types and acts as a CO2 pump to concentrate CO2 in the BS chloroplasts (Hatch 1999, Kanai and Edwards 1999). Another possible role of C4 M chloroplast movement is maintenance of photosynthetic activity under stress conditions. Although a fraction of the M chloroplasts did not migrate to the BS side, there is a possibility that the M chloroplasts gather to circumvent high intensity light. The M chloroplast movement in response to drought stress was also observed in maize (Supplementary Fig. 10: C3 plants possess only one CO2 acceptor. In this study, we found that M chloroplasts of C4 plants showed aggregative movement in response to strong light. The cell-specific C 4 chloroplast arrangement is established during cell maturation, and is maintained throughout the life of the cell. Therefore, it was concluded that light is required for the chloroplast movement in response to environmental stresses. M and BS cells have well developed and numerous chloroplasts. In each panel, the upper side of the leaf sections is the adaxial side. In contrast, the centripetal position of BS chloroplasts maximizes the length of the CO2 diffusion pathway between BS and M cells, and minimizes CO2 leakage from BS cells to M cells (Hattersley and Browning 1981, von Caemmerer and Furbank 2003). In C4 plants, mesophyll (M) chloroplasts are randomly distributed along the cell walls, while bundle sheath (BS) chloroplasts are typically located in either a centripetal or centrifugal position. 2004). The movement is light dependent, and evidence is provided that it is mediated by ABA. These findings suggest that M and BS cells are also differentiated regarding the control of intracellular chloroplast positioning in response to environmental changes. Although the water potential of leaf blades exposed to drought or salinity stress for 9 d was decreased to –1.83 ± 0.18 MPa or –0.80 ± 0.17 MPa (n = 4), respectively, the aggregative movement of M chloroplasts was not observed (data not shown). Scale bars = 50 μm. The leaf surface at that time was exposed to a light intensity of about 1,800 μmol m−2 s−1, which was not high enough to induce chloroplast movement in the laboratory. Under the mid-day field condition, plants were exposed to strong light and high temperature for several hours. Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. The Fv/Fm values of leaf blades from finger millet and maize were 0.37 ± 0.03 and 0.41 ± 0.03, respectively and, therefore, these plants had experienced severe photoinhibition. They are composed of sectors of cells having identical genetic composition. Light-dependent intracellular positioning of mitochondria in, Blue light-dependent nuclear positioning in. Transverse sections of leaf blades from control (A–C) or salinity-stressed (D–F) plants were stained with rhodamine 123. Photosynthesis - Photosynthesis - Carbon fixation in C4 plants: Certain plants—including the important crops sugarcane and corn (maize), as well as other diverse species that are thought to have expanded their geographic ranges into tropical areas—have developed a special mechanism of carbon fixation that largely prevents photorespiration. The time required for obvious observation of chloroplast movement is also shorter in C3 plants. Changes in the intracellular arrangement of chloroplasts in response to high intensity light. Click hereto get an answer to your question ️ In C4 plants, bundle sheath cells have 2011 May;62(9):3213-21. doi: 10.1093/jxb/err008. Similarly, the maximum chloroplast movement in redwood sorrel occurs upon illumination with blue light at 250 μmol m−2 s−1 (780 μmol m−2 s−1 of daylight) (Brugnoli and Björkman 1992). COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. 2003, Sato and Kadota 2007). Intracellular position of mitochondria in mesophyll cells differs between C. Cell-type-specific differentiation of chloroplasts in C4 plants. A study with Arabidopsis mutants revealed that chloroplast avoidance movement decreases the amount of light absorption by chloroplasts, and therefore protects plants from photodamage under high light (Kasahara et al. The centrifugal positioning of chloroplasts in maize BS cells was not changed under the high intensity light. The intracellular positions of both types of nuclei were not changed regardless of salinity stress. B, bundle sheath cell; M, mesophyll cell; V, vascular bundle. 2009). We further observed the intracellular arrangement of mitochondria (Fig. For example, the apparent light avoidance movement of chloroplasts in dark-adapted Arabidopsis thaliana leaf occurs upon illumination with blue light at 5 W m−2 (about 19 μmol m−2 s−1) (Trojan and Gabrys 1996). The centripetal position of M chloroplasts shortens the diffusion pathway of metabolites between M and BS cells, and may contribute to keeping C4 photosynthesis active. In the bundle sheath cells, OAA … The motility and positioning of chloroplasts appear to be mediated by actin filaments and/or microtubules (Wada et al. C4 plants have better robustness no matter the objective function is biomass synthesis or CO 2 fixation. The nuclear and mitochondrial movement in C3 leaves is speculated to be an adaptive response for light as well as chloroplast photo- relocation movement, while the aggregative movement of C4 M chloroplasts independent of nuclei and mitochondria may be induced for a special physiological requirement association with C4 photosynthesis. This anatomical pattern consists of a radial arrangement of chloren- chyma around vascular bundles. Turkan I, Uzilday B, Dietz KJ, Bräutigam A, Ozgur R. J Exp Bot. Transverse sections were observed with the light microscope. The chloroplast movement in M cells of finger millet occurred under normal intensity light (500 μmol m−2 s−1) under stress conditions such as drought, salinity or hyperosmosis (Figs. The extent of chloroplast avoidance movement in A. thaliana increases in response to the intensity of white light and reaches a maximum at about 500 μmol m−2 s−1 (Kasahara et al. We also confirmed that blue light could induce the centripetal positioning of M chloroplasts but the extent of localization was not prominent (data not shown). 2008). Semi-thin sections (1 μm thickness) were cut with glass knives on an ultramicrotome. Blue-light-induced reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and the avoidance response of chloroplasts in epidermal cells of. The intracellular positions of neither type of mitochondria were changed regardless of salinity stress. This indicates that hydrogen peroxide itself cannot induce chloroplast movement in C4 plants, but further work is required to determine whether other reactive oxygen species affect chloroplast movement in C4 M cells. The authors presumed a relationship of the co-localization with their mutual metabolic interactions. Scale bars = 50 μm. This re-arrangement pattern was obviously different from the pattern observed in finger millet in which M chloroplasts mainly migrated towards the BS side and formed a partial ring around a cylinder of BS cells. In C4 plants, the bundle sheath cells contain chloroplasts. However, only mesophyll … Because ABA was vacuum infiltrated into the leaf segments, M chloroplast movement is thought to be caused by a direct effect of ABA on M cells and not by secondary effects such as stomatal closure. In each panel, the upper side of the leaf sections is the adaxial side. When mature, BS and M cells have anatomically and biochemically distinct chloroplasts that must cooperate to complete the process of photosynthesis. C3 plants have high transpiration ratio : water loss/CO2 uptake 3. Transverse sections of leaf blades from control (A and B) or salinity-stressed (C and D) finger millet were stained with DAPI and observed under a bright-field (A and C) or fluorescence (B and D) microscope. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists. The centripetal aggregation of C4 M chloroplasts might be to enable communication with BS cells. C4 plants possess two CO2 acceptors (primary acceptor and secondary acceptor). We investigated whether these intracellular positions are affected by environmental stresses. 2008). Mesophyll chloroplasts are randomly distributed along cell walls, whereas bundle sheath chloroplasts are located close to the vascular tissues or mesophyll cells depending on the plant species. 21380014). Therefore, it is thought that some signal associated with the osmotic stress is generated in a domain outside of leaf tissue and influences M chloroplast movement. Phospho enol pyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), localized to the cytosol of the mesophyll cell, catalyzes the first carboxylation step of the C4 photosynthetic pathway. S2) and, therefore, the response of C4 M chloroplasts to strong light seems to be slow. Actin filaments not only provide tracks for chloroplast movement but also anchor the chloroplasts after photo-orientation (Takagi 2003). Thus, a combination of stresses may induce chloroplast movement in C4 plants in the field. In contrast, the centripetal arrangement of BS chloroplasts was unchanged, even though they appeared to swell slightly after strong light illumination and the degree of chloroplast association was marginally reduced. Active carbon trans-port (in the form of organic acids) from the mesophyll cells to bundle-sheathcells andspecific expression of Rubiscoin the bundle-sheath cells enables Rubisco, the carboxylating enzyme in the Calvin cycle, to operate under high CO 2 The C4 M chloroplast movement may be one means of photoprotection which occurs prior to photoinhibition. The experiments with field-growing plants were conducted in August 2008 at the University Farm of Nagoya University. Given these differences, we examined whether maize also shows re-arrangement of chloroplasts in response to high intensity light.

Scale bars = 50 μm. Trends Plant Sci. and EowARDS, 1973 a, b, c). Chloroplast photorelocation movement is extensively studied in C3 but not C4 plants. Under these stress conditions, no obvious plasmolysis was observed. In this Kranz anatomy, each vein is surrounded by a ring of bundle sheath (BS) cells, followed by one or more concentric files of mesophyll (M) cells. 2005). My lecturer said that CAM plants only have mesophyll plants. The osmolality values of the solutions were determined by the freezing point method in an Osmotoron-5 (Orion Riken Inc., Tokyo, Japan). Scale bars = 50 μm. 2004a, Yamane et al. 2002). 9A, B). Slight aggregative movement of M chloroplasts was observed 0.5 h after strong light irradiation, and the one-sided distribution of M chloroplasts became more remarkable in a time- dependent manner (Fig. While C4 plants photosynthesis activities are divided between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells where carbon fixation is catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC). The intracellular positioning of M and BS chloroplasts is dependent on the actomyosin system and cytosolic protein synthesis, but not tubulin or light (Miyake and Nakamura 1993, Kobayashi et al. Maize is an NADP-ME type C4 plant. The Systematic Comparison of C3 and C4 Plants can be made through Metabolic Network. Then, the sections were stained with toluidine blue O and observed with the light microscope. However, the centripetal aggregation of M chloroplasts towards the BS side could increase the diffusion distance between the intercellular air space and the primary carboxylation step (cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and M chloroplast) and, therefore, decrease the production of C4 dicarboxylates (Lal and Edwards 1996, Tholen et al. Clumping of chloroplasts in response to water stress was first found in cortical cells of P. grandiflora stems (Guralnick et al. The intracellular orientation of BS chloroplasts is thought to have physiological significance. Mesophyll cells are the cells in C4 plants that carry out light dependant reactions of photosynthesis. 2002). 9C, D). M cells in leaf blades of finger millet, an NAD-ME type C4 plant, have a great number of chloroplasts dispersed randomly along the cell walls, while BS cells have larger chloroplasts that are located in the centripetal position. Under the salinity stress that caused aggregative movement of M chloroplasts (Fig. Although BS nuclei were located close to M cells, M nuclei were distributed peripherally at the mid position, a little towards BS cells. Leaf blades of finger millet were continuously irradiated with the high intensity light (4,000 μmol m−2 s−1). The principle of the C4 photosynthetic pathway is the shuttle of metabolites between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells (see also Chapter 5) and an increase in CO 2 concentration in the bundle sheath cells to optimize the Calvin cycle. After 2 h of strong light irradiation, maize M chloroplasts redistributed, but were found along the sides of anticlinal walls parallel to the direction of irradiation (Fig. Found aggregative movement of M chloroplasts in response to light ) plants were exposed to strong light and high for!

Students across the country spent a few minutes of their day learning about the remarkable work of our nation's founders.\nThis is nice, but America's schools should be doing a much more thorough job of honoring the civic mission that was the reason for their founding.\nBenjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and one of the first advocates for public education in America, argued forcefully that schools play a crucial role in preparing the citizens of a democracy. \"There is but one method of rendering a republican form of government durable,\" he wrote, \"and that is by disseminating the seeds of virtue and knowledge through education.\"\nWith young people voting at higher rates than ever before, it might seem that the founders would be pleased with our progress. Yet civic engagement requires more than voting in presidential elections every four years. A healthy democracy demands sustained citizen participation, and our schools must give students the knowledge and tools to participate.\nSadly, civic education has been in steady decline over the past generation, as high-stakes testing and an emphasis on literacy and math dominate school reforms. Too many young people today do not understand how our political system works. They lack the tools to shape their communities through their own participation.\nThis shows up on national tests – though not, disappointingly, any of the tests our government uses to gauge school performance. On the last nationwide civics assessment, administered in 2006, two-thirds of students scored below proficiency. Not even a third of eighth-graders surveyed could identify the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence. Less than a fifth of high school seniors could explain how citizen participation benefits democracy.\nEqually troubling, we face a widening civic achievement gap. Hispanic and African-American students are twice as likely as their white counterparts to lack civic knowledge and skills, while low-income students score significantly lower than middle- and upper-income students. In other words, our schools' failure when it comes to civic education is especially stark in communities most in need of civic engagement.\nIf we hope to sustain American democracy, we need to treat civic learning as on a par with other academic subjects. To participate fully in our democracy, students need to understand our government, our history, and our laws. They need to appreciate the skills democracy imposes on us – consensus building, compromise, civility, and rational discourse – and how they can be applied to the problems confronted by their communities and our nation as a whole. Restoring this civic mission of schools will require a concerted effort in school districts, at statehouses, and by the federal government.\nThe federal government should embrace civic education when it revisits education reform next year. Developing and then mandating civics standards – and increasing funding for civic learning – would go a long way toward jump-starting progress.\nStates likewise can elevate the importance of civic learning by creating commissions to review thoroughly the state's approach to civic education, instituting civics as a graduation requirement, and funding professional and curricular development.\nSchools, which the noted education reformer John Dewey called the \"midwife of democracy,\" should include civic learning in their mission statements and incorporate civics – including discussion of controversial topics and the responsibilities of citizen engagement – into their curricula for students of all ages.\nThe anniversary of the Constitution and the upcoming presidential election offer a chance to reflect on the health of American democracy. Still, democracy is a sustained conversation among citizens over how best to govern their communities. It is not enough for this conversation to take place on one day, or even over the course of one campaign.\nOur democratic discourse must begin in America's schools, which shape the attitudes and experiences of more citizens than any other institution.\nThe anniversary of the Constitution should be an occasion for reaffirming our long-term commitment to civic participation. That means restoring education for democracy to its central place in our schools. Only then can we fulfill the Constitution's promise of a more perfect union.\n• Justice Sandra Day O'Connor served on the US Supreme Court for 24 years and Lee H.

Moreover, you also need to converse with your readers in an acceptable and easily comprehensible manner. This article will help you with an insight into a systematic approach that is required to create an effective report, irrespective of the subject of your report. Given below are some important steps that will help you to produce a remarkable report:\nPreparation and Planning\nWhen it comes to reports, one cannot stress enough on the significance of planning. You must not commit the mistake of putting anything on paper before you overall plan is looking good to you, as if you do so, it will be like starting to build a wall without having laid the foundation. As a part of effective planning for your report, you must set achievable objectives, gauge the intellectual competency of your readers, gather relevant information, design a framework, test, amend and improve the designed framework. These steps or activities form the planning stage, and the time and effort you will put in these steps will make a huge difference to the efficacy of your report.\nSetting a practicable objective\nIt is extremely important that you set and establish clear objectives, and this is possible only if you are absolutely confident and certain about the purpose of the report that you intend to produce. In the absence of well-defined objectives, you as a writer will not know what to write and how to write\nin your report. This is especially vital as only a set of well-defined objectives can help you determine on useful research material or information that can be included in the report, which inadvertently will help you pitch your report at the accurate level.\nGauging the intellectual competency of your reader base\nThe next vital step is to gauge and identify the intellectual competency of your reader base. For instance, if your report were meant for high school students, it would make very little sense to include complex, doctoral level data or information. You must take care to ensure that the style, structure, content and presentation matches the knowledge and expertise levels of your intended readers. You must also very cautiously include and address all the questions and concerns that your readers are likely to raise.\nGather relevant information and data\nDepending on the nature of your report, you will either need to collect very little or a great deal of information. However, to determine on the right expanse of information, and hence you would require to indulge in a thorough brainstorming session, either alone or with people who are knowledgeable in the subject that you report deals with. It helps to begin at the core of your overall topic, and consequently break down information, as it helps you cover all the major points, and hence mind-mapping is the best way to determine on the right information. Mind mapping is an extremely efficient research tool as it not only facilitates easy linking of facts and important concepts, but its open-ended nature also helps the writing to easily add or delete a thought or information.\nPreparing the basic structure or outline of your report\nOnce you have all the necessary information with you, the next step is to create a practicable outline or skeletal framework that will help you in a lucid organization and expression of the collected data and information. This step will also help you identify any gaps or discontinuities in the flow of ideas. As a report writer\n, you must pay special attention to the outline as it can help your report with a sturdy sense of perspective.\nWhen you start working on your report's outline, try and begin with determining on a working title. The next step should be to work on the overall structure, i.e. to design a beginning, a body and an end. Ideally, the beginning of your report should include a title, foreword, preface, acknowledgements, contents page, abstract and introduction. In the same way the body or middle of your report should have the main body as well as any substructures that you intend to include in the body of your report. The end of your report should include the conclusion, recommendations, appendix, references, bibliography, glossary and index.\nTest and revise the skeletal framework of your report\nAn effective framework is the foundation for an effective report. While working on the basic structure, you must cautiously ensure that your report includes not only the structure and the requisite content, but also specifies the relative connotations and correlation between the important facts and findings associated with the subject of your report.\nUndertake your project\nOnce you have completed all the above steps, then you are ready to undertake your project. In this step, you should handle all the gathered information and date to bestow your basic structure with an actual form. In simper terms, this is the stage when you actually need to compile and put your thoughts and ideas on paper. Since you have the basic structure in place, you should cautiously include the necessary information under the apt headings or sections. Needless to mention that this stage is very crucial as this is the stage where you need to ensure that your planning is realized.\nMake the Content of Your Report Look Good\nEnsure that all the information is presented in a professional and aesthetically appealing manner, which simply means that all the figures, images, graphics and illustrations\nused by you in the report should be professional in presentation, and should be accurate as well. You can take the help of a professional graphic designer if you prefer; however, it is not actually required, especially as many of the inbuilt programs, software and tools in your computer can facilitate you to come up with some incredibly professional designs, graphics and presentations. You simply need to spend some time to get acquainted with these tools to create and produce an aesthetically appealing as well as interesting report.\nOnce again, it must be stressed here that planning is undoubtedly the most important aspect if you want to produce a report that guides and impresses your readers as you desire. If your planning is right, then you can produce a good report with minimal effort in the remaining steps.\nBy keeping the above points in mind, you are sure to produce reports that are not only high-impact and professional in presentation\n, but also influence the readers, as you desire.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Before coming to power Hitler had mixed feelings about Germany’s capital. On leave there in 1916 he had been shocked by the gloomy “unpatriotic” atmosphere, and as an adopted Münchener he shared some of the traditional Bavarian resentment toward Berlin. After 1918 the nationalist Right attacked “Red Berlin” as the cradle of the November Revolution and the Spartacus uprising, the source of the supposed moral and cultural “decadence” of the Weimar Republic, and the home of one-third of Germany’s Jews. However, postwar claims that Hitler always disliked Berlin are unconvincing. “I have always been fond of Berlin,” he claimed. “If I’m vexed by the fact that some of the things in it are not beautiful, it’s precisely because I’m so attached to the city” (Richie 1998, p. 962).\nIt was Josef Goebbels who was responsible for creating Hitler’s new affection for the “truly Germanic” city of Frederick the Great and Bismarck. As Gauleiter of Berlin Goebbels created and built up the Nazi organization, which had less than 200 members when he took over, into a dominant force in the city, confronting the Communists and Socialists on the streets and in the meeting halls, penetrating the huge working-class districts as well as middle-class areas. He brought Hitler to speak in Berlin for the first time on 16 November 1928, before 16,000 people in the Sportspalast, the first of many such rallies in years to come. Nevertheless, the Nazi vote in free elections was always lower in Berlin than in Germany as a whole. At the height of their electoral success in 1933, when the Nazis gained 43.9 percent of the national vote, the figure for Berlin was 34.6 percent.\nIn the early years of the Third Reich Berlin continued its decadent ways as “an island of modernity in a world of Nazi provincialism” (Richie 1998, p. 442). Its opulent hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs provided a suitable setting for the hypocritical corruption of the Nazi elite, in stark contrast to the peasant fantasies they were peddling to the people. Here the elite and rich could dance to “decadent Negro” jazz music, theoretically banned in the Reich, and consume the finest food and wines. But the vibrant avant-garde culture of the Weimar period was destroyed and hundreds of artists imprisoned or driven into exile, while the persecution of the Jews destroyed a community that had lived, prospered, and made an enormous contribution to the life of Berlin for centuries. Hitler had his own plans for the capital of the Reich.\nHitler reportedly told Albert Speer in 1936: “Berlin is a big city, but not a real metropolis. Look at Paris, the most beautiful city in the world. Or even Vienna. Those are cities with grand style. Berlin is nothing but an unregulated accumulation of buildings. We must surpass Paris and Vienna” (Speer 1971, p. 122). Hence his megalomaniac plans for rebuilding the city. Berlin would become “Germania,” the leading city of Europe, filled with monstrous neoclassical buildings and monuments. “His motivating idea,” Alexandra Richie writes, “was that everything had to be longer, bigger, wider, taller and more massive than the buildings in any other capital” (Richie 1998, p. 471). The centerpiece, a 3-mile north-south avenue, would stretch from the new central railway station, under a gigantic Triumphal Arch bearing the names of all the Germans who died in World War I, and culminate in the domed Volkshalle, the largest building in the world, seven times greater than the dome of St Peter’s in Rome.\nComparatively little was actually built, and few of Hitler’s buildings survive today. Berliners, Germans, and the world were meant to be overawed and intimidated by Hitler’s new Reich Chancellery, 150 times the size of Bismarck’s residence, Hermann Goering’s gargantuan Air Ministry, and Goebbels’s suitably overpowering Propaganda Ministry. Hitler delighted in scrutinizing the models built by Speer, even down to the last days in the bunker. His real legacy to Berlin, however, was the almost complete destruction of the city by Allied bombing and the final horrendous battle against the Red Army. The broad and grand “East-West Axis,” along which the Wehrmacht had marched proudly on Hitler’s fiftieth birthday in 1939, became a guiding path for bombers bent on the destruction of Berlin. The capital of the new Reich ended as a divided city, the beleaguered center of Cold War conflict. The Wall separating East and West Berlin, the symbol of Hitler’s legacy of Cold War division, was finally demolished by crowds from both sides on 12 November 1989.\nSuggestions for further reading:\nRichie, Alexandra. 1998.

Symptoms include headache, fatigue, fever and skin rash. Left untreated, Lyme disease can develop into a chronic condition with additional symptoms.\nChronic Lyme disease, also known as third stage or late stage Lyme disease, can result from an incorrect diagnosis or insufficient treatment. According to the Lyme Disease Research Database, it may also occur if the bacteria are not all killed, or if conditions are ideal for the bacteria to grow. An example would be if you do not continue your treatment of the disease as instructed by your physician. Symptoms may disappear for periods of time and return after weeks, months or years. There may be times where your symptoms are worse.\nChronic Lyme disease can lead to arthritis, a condition that affects your joints. It typically results in joint pain and stiffness in knees, hips, elbows and shoulders, but may also affect smaller joints such as hands, wrists, fingers and toes. Chronic Lyme disease may also cause stiffness in your neck, or cause pain in your ribs or chest.\nChronic Fatigue Syndrome\nChronic fatigue syndrome causes pronounced fatigue that is not relieved by rest and sleep. Physical activity or mental exertion may make the condition worse. Other symptoms include muscle and joint pain, headache, sore throat and tender lymph nodes in your armpits or neck.\nNeurological problems that may occur with chronic Lyme disease include the perception of numbness and tingling, itching, vibrations and burning or crawling sensations. Other symptoms can include facial nerve palsy (Bell's palsy), headaches, aseptic meningitis (a non-infectious inflammation of the membranes around the spinal cord and brain), encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain) or encephalopathy, which is exhibited by memory loss, anxiety, panic, depression or cognitive problems.\nChronic Lyme disease can result in heart conditions such as irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and inflammation in the heart's lining (pericarditis). According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Lyme disease may cause long-term heart problems such as heart failure.\nOther symptoms include sweating, vision impairment such as blurriness and light sensitivity, tinnitus (ringing in your ears), hearing loss, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, urinary urgency and frequency, pelvic pain, hepatitis and tremors. In pregnant women, it can result in an intrauterine infection. It is possible that Lyme can be transferred to the fetus, particularly during the first trimester.\nChronic Lyme disease is not progressive and is not fatal. However, the symptoms can be incapacitating. Early and thorough treatment for Lyme is important to avoid the chronic condition.\n- BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images", "label": "No"} {"text": "Follower of Jesus and among the first to reach Jesus' tomb on Easter.\nJesus cured Mary Magdalene of demon possession and she became one of a group of women who followed him and ministered to him, beginning in Galilee (Luke 8:1-3). Mary witnessed the crucifixion and was among the first to visit the empty tomb on Easter and to see the risen Christ.

He is the last king who has years attested in most Babylonian records. Little is known about this king due to the lack of sources for his time. It seems that he ascended the throne sometime around 627 BC. After the death of the powerful Ashurbanipal, the vast Assyrian Empire began to unravel, due to a series of bitter internal wars over who should rule. Sinsharishkun's rise to power was marred by severe violence, crippling internal civil war, and upheaval within the Assyrian Empire. He had to unseat the usurper Sin-shumu-lishir, after his older brother and predecessor, Ashur-etil-ilani, had previously been deposed by Sin-shumu-lishir. During this confusion, a host of Assyria's many colonies and puppet states took advantage of the anarchy to quietly free themselves from Assyrian rule, most the Chaldeans, Babylonians, Medes, Persians, Scythians, and Cimmerians.\nLast Strike against Babylon\nAfter temporarily defeating his rivals, Sinsharishkun faced a much larger threat. Babylon, a vassal state of Assyria for three centuries, took advantage of the anarchy within Assyria and rebelled under the previously unknown Nabopolassar, the leader of the Chaldean peoples of south eastern Mesopotamia, in 626 BC.\nWhat followed was a long war fought in the Mesopotamian heartland. Nabopolassar tried to capture Nippur, the main Assyrian center of power in Babylonia, but was defeated by Assyrian reinforcements. However Nabopolassar did manage to take the city of Babylon itself with the help of the Babylonian citizens, and was crowned king in the city circa 625 BC.\nSinsharishkun, crippled by civil war in Assyria proper, then lost more ground before succeeded in recapturing Uruk in the far south in about 624 BC, only to quickly lose it again. Sin-shar-ishkun led a large army to Babylonia in 623 BC to finally crush the Babylonian and Chaldean rebels, however yet another major rebellion broke out in the Assyrian homeland. A relief army was sent back north, but promptly joined the rebels, so that the usurper could reach the capital Nineveh without interference, and claim the throne. Chronicles for the next few years are mostly absent due to the civil anarchy in Assyria, however eventually Sin-shar-ishkun was able to quell the latest homeland rebellion. Crucially, precious time was lost to solve the Babylonian problem, with Nabopolassar taking advantage to entrench himself as ruler of most of Babylonia. In 620 or 619 BC Nabopolassar successfully captured Nippur and so became the master of Babylonia. However, he was forced to contend with Sin-Shar-Ishkun's Assyrian armies encamped in the Babylonian heartlands attempting to unseat him for the next four years.\nWar in the Assyrian heartlands\nThis stalemate ended in 616 BC, when Nabopolassar entered into an alliance with Cyaxares, king of the Medes, who had also taken advantage of the unremitting civil wars in Assyria to free his Iranian peoples: the Medes, Persians and Parthians from the Assyrian yoke and form them into a powerful force. In 616 BC, this alliance of peoples, now also including the Scythians and Cimmerians felt strong enough to move the center of operations northward and launch an attack on the war ravaged Assyrian heartland. In the years that followed Ashur, Kalhu, and Nineveh were besieged and destroyed amid bitter fighting.\nThe fate of Sinsharishkun is not certain, as the section of the Babylonian chronicle in which he is mentioned at the siege of Nineveh is damaged. It is likely that he was killed defending his capital during Battle of Nineveh (612 BC) by Babylonians, Chaldeans, Medes/Persians and Scythians.\nDespite the loss of its major cities, an independent Assyria endured, centered on its last capital city of Harran under its last king Ashur-uballit II. However this too was overrun by the alliance in 608 BC, and a final victory was achieved at Carchemish in 605 BC.\nThe fictional discovery of the tomb of Sinsharishkun just before the outbreak of the First World War is the central topic of the novel Land of Marvels by Barry Unsworth.\n- Georges Roux - Ancient Iraq\n- Na'aman, N., \"Chronology and history in the late Assyrian empire\"', Zeitschrift für Assyriologie, 81 (1991), 243-267.\n- Zawadzki, S., The fall of Assyria and Median-Babylonian relation in light of the Nabopolassar chronicle, Poznan 1988.\n- Unsworth, B., Land of Marvels: a Novel, Hutchinson, London 2009.\nSinsharishkun of Assyria\n|King of Assyria", "label": "No"} {"text": "Sukhothai is located on the lower edge of the northern region, 427 kilometres north of Bangkok or some 298 kilometres south of Chiang Mai. The province covers some 6,596 square kilometres and is divided into 9 Amphoes: Muang Sukhothai, Ban Dan Lan Hoi, Khiri Mat, Kong Krailat, Sawankhalok, Si Nakhon, Si Samrong, Si Satchanalai and Thung Saliam.\nHISTORICAL BACKGROUND : Sukhothai Thailand\nSukhothai was the first kingdom of the Thais in this peninsula. Two princes-Pho Khun Pha Muang and Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao combined their forces and fought the Khmers who commanded an extensive empire throughout this part of the world.\nThey drove the Khmers out of Sukhothai, a major frontier post of the Khmer Empire, and established it as their capital in 1238. Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao, urged by the people to be king, was enthroned with the royal title of Pho Khun Si Indrathit.\nKing Si Indrathit had two sons-Pho Khun Ban Mueang and Pho Khun Ramkhamhaeng. After his death, Pho Khun Ban Mueang succeeded him. His brother, Pho Khun Ramkhamhaeng, ascended the throne in 1278 and reigned for forty years. He was Thailand's first great king.\nOne of Thailand's finest warriors, King Ramkhamhaeng made Sukhothai a powerful and extensive kingdom which included many parts of what are today neighbouring countries. A number of ancient cities paid him tribute.\nKing Ramkhamhaeng opened direct political relations with China and made two trips to China - the first in 1282 to visit Emperor Kublai Khan and the second in 1300 after Kublai Khans death.\nFrom the second visit, he brought back Chinese artisans who taught the Thais the art of pottery. Today, the old Sangkhalok Potteries are eagerly sought by collectors.\nA major achievement of King Ramkhamhaeng was the revision of various forms of Khmer alphabets into a system suitable for the writing of Thai words. The alphabet that he invented in 1283 was essentially the same as that in use today.\nDuring his reign, there was prosperity and happiness. There was water in the paddy-fields and fish in the water.\nA stone inscription reads in part, This Muang Sukhothai is good. In the water there are fish; in the field there is rice. The ruler does not levy a tax on the people who travel along the road together, leading their oxen on the way to trade and riding their horses on the way to sell. Whoever wants to trade in elephants, so trades. Whoever wants to trade in horses, so trades. Whoever wants to trade in silver and gold, so trades.\nKing Ramkhamhaeng also promoted religion and culture, and through his efforts, Buddhism progressed among the people. Inspirational faith gave birth to classic forms of Thai religious arts. Images of the Lord Buddha sculptured during the Sukhothai Era are cultural treasures which impart a feeling of peace and serenity.\nA total of eight kings ruled Sukhothai. The gradual decline of Sukhothai occurred during the reigns of the last two kings. The end of this first Thai kingdom occurred in 1365 when it became a vassal state of Ayutthaya, a young and rising power to the south. Ayutthaya became the capital of Thailand before Thon Buri and Bangkok.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Research into the summative assessment experiences of teachers in Zimbabwean primary schools resulted in Ms Lucia Musekiwa being awarded a PhD in Curriculum Studies.\nThe aim of her research was to provide more insight for education authorities, the schools examination board, school administrators, teachers, learners, parents and all stakeholders about assessment practices in primary schools.\nMusekiwa, who says her research calls for formative, continuous assessment, discovered that most rural and farm schools were under-resourced and, as a result, are mostly disadvantaged in final summative examinations.\nThe study was prompted by the universal shift in perspective about assessment which promotes formative and continuous assessment modes in teaching and learning. The research presents assessment as being for learning rather than as a one-time final score that judges and determines the whole of the learner’s life from primary level upwards.\n‘The efforts and attempts to change the assessment system in Zimbabwe have been acknowledged, though they have largely remained on paper, disadvantaging capable learners,’ said Musekiwa.\nThe findings revealed that teachers’ experiences of a summative assessment at Grade 7 level, which is still the sole final assessment at this level in Zimbabwe, has had more negative impacts than positive ones, particularly for the majority of the less privileged learners and under-resourced schools.\nStudy participants identified the following as influences and impacts associated with summative assessment: pressure, anxiety, stress in both learners and teachers emanating from preparation for the one final examination, and negative judgements of learners and teachers in response to the results, thereby impacting the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom.\nMusekiwa argues that ‘If the results are to be true reflections of the learners and schools, socio-economic factors surrounding the learners and schools need to be considered in assessment practices.’\nA high teacher-pupil ratio emerged as a significant negative factor in the area of sole summative examinations at Grade 7 level, and one which led to unprofessional instructional practices to cope with the demands of these terminal examinations. Inadequate resources were another challenging factor in a situation of one sole final examination.\nThe use of English for teaching, learning, and examination purposes was revealed as a challenge to most disadvantaged learners and under-resourced schools, in particular, those with no facilities and supportive resources to aid mastering the language and in improving pass rates, especially through summative assessment. Therefore, different categories of schools mattered in whether summative assessment enabled equitable, neutral, and fair assessment.\nEmerging from the findings was consensus on merging formative, continuous, and summative forms of assessment. A holistic approach to assessment was called for, taking into cognisance the diverse backgrounds of learners and schools.\nThe publication and comparison of results emerged as a demotivating factor for low-income schools and disadvantaged learners.\nMusekiwa suggests ‘a more balanced and holistic assessment structure at the Grade 7 level that caters for diverse populations and environments in Zimbabwe.’\n‘My wish is to contribute more information and shed more light on embracing the fusion of formative assessment into continuous and summative assessment for final evaluation and decisions for Grade 7 learners in Zimbabwe in a bid to accommodate all categories and socio-economic statuses of schools and learners,’ she said.\nMusekiwa thanks family, friends and her supervisor Dr Lokesh Maharajh for his ‘outstanding and unwavering assistance, advice, guidance, and helpful direction throughout this study.’\nMusekiwa hopes to become a lecturer and to research and write more on related issues in the education system.", "label": "No"} {"text": "When Mitt Romney’s immigration advisor Kris Kobach boasts that 5.5 million “illegals” could be forced out of the U.S. during the first term of a Romney presidency, it is no idle claim. There is a model for “self-deportation” that led to the expulsion of up to 700,000 Mexicans during the mid 1950s: Operation Wetback. This quasi-military nationwide effort launched by the Eisenhower administration in 1954 is a clear example of how the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens can be trampled when hysteria and prejudice reach a fever pitch. The offensive name was only the beginning of its xenophobic nature.\nIn less than a year Operation Wetback led to the arrest of over 80,000 people of Mexican origin in the U.S. and is credited with forcing the voluntary expulsion of up to 700,000 others. The operation targeted Mexican-American communities in California and Arizona and employed roadblocks along with the cordoning off of entire neighborhoods to indentify “illegal aliens.” Random stops of persons who appeared to be \"Mexican\" were also employed. These indiscriminate interrogations of people based purely on their ethnicity were organized and fully sanctioned by the federal government. Allegations of widespread harassment and beatings were later supported by lawsuits settled in favor of U.S. citizens victimized during the operation. Many of those detained were released hundreds of miles inside the Mexican border to discourage their return.\nThe motivation behind the draconian Operation Wetback reflects the bipolar nature of U.S./Mexico labor relations.\nAfter the massive “Mexican Repatriation” during the Great Depression, the entry of the U.S. into WWII brought a new round of labor shortages. Again in need of cheap labor, the U.S. and Mexico entered into the Bracero Program which brought a new wave of Mexican workers to American farms and factories. Although the demand for cheap labor continued after GIs returned from the war, tensions mounted. After complaints of labor law violations by some Bracero workers, a backlash arose claiming that \"uncontrolled immigration\" by undocumented workers were depressing wages and creating unwarranted employment competition. Thus, Operation Wetback was born.\nWill the Romney/Kobach “self-deportation” work today? Not likely, according to a recent study by the Center for American Progress. The study indicates that many of the undocumented today have been in the U.S. for decades and will not easily abandon their strong family ties forged here. The study also cites a lack of opportunities in the migrants’ native countries and the high cost of returning as additional factors against self-deportation. However, this will not likely deter nativists from attempting a repeat of Operation Wetback, making the human costs of such a scheme all the more tragic.\n“If America could deport the illegal invaders back then, they can sure do it today!” boasts a nativist website in reference to Operation Wetback and the Repatriation of the Great Depression. These incidents and others like the unlawful Japanese interment during WWII, prove that fear and prejudice have often trumped the guaranteed constitutional rights of U.S. minority citizens in the past.\nIronically, nativists are especially fond of invoking the “rule of law” to justify punitive legislation like Arizona’s SB-1070. Yet the concept of a “rule of law” in the U.S. was created to prevent mob rule from violating the rights of individual citizens. This is exactly the opposite of what occurred with Operation Wetback when U.S. citizens were harassed and arrested purely on the basis of their ethnicity.\nThe overwhelming majority of the nation’s nearly 50 million Latinos are here legally. Simplistic solutions like Romney/Kobach self-deportation scheme will not just fail, they will very likely antagonize a large portion of the Latino community. That is not a good recipe for domestic tranquility. For proof, one need only look at the ugly side of similar scenarios such as the Chechens in Russia, the Basques in Spain, the Tamils in Sri Lanka and the mother of all ethnic conflict, the Balkans.\nThe solution to the presence of some 11 million undocumented people in the U.S. will likely be messy and involve compromise. But the alternative could be something no one except the far-right militias want.\nEncyclopedia of Latino popular culture - Cordelia Candelaria, Peter J. García, Arturo J.

If you’re looking for a plant that can adapt to different environments and add a unique touch to your indoor or outdoor space, rubber trees are an excellent choice.\nIn this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know to grow rubber trees successfully. We’ll begin by discussing the differences between growing rubber trees indoors and outdoors, including the impact of lighting, watering, and pruning techniques on their growth. Then, we’ll provide tips for acclimating your rubber tree to outdoor conditions, protecting it from sun and wind, and managing its sensitivity to temperature and humidity.\nWhether you’re new to plant parenting or a seasoned gardener, this guide will provide valuable insights for growing healthy and thriving rubber trees.\n- Rubber trees can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with different growing conditions required for each.\n- Indoor rubber trees require consistent moisture, good drainage, and bright, indirect light, while outdoor rubber trees need warm temperatures and protection from extreme weather conditions.\n- Rubber trees can grow up to 10-15 feet tall when planted in the ground outdoors, but typically reach about 10 feet in height when grown indoors.\n- Rubber trees are low-maintenance houseplants that can benefit from occasional fertilization, but may be prone to pests and diseases and can be toxic to pets if ingested.\nIndoor Rubber Trees\nIf you want to add a lovely and low-maintenance indoor plant to your home, consider an indoor rubber tree plant. These versatile houseplants are known for their quick growth and beautiful structure, typically reaching about 10 feet in height when grown indoors.\nTo keep them healthy, make sure they’re consistently damp with good drainage and porous soil, and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. Proper pruning throughout the seasons is also essential to control height and branching.\nWith these decorating tips in mind, you can enjoy a beautiful indoor rubber tree plant that adds life and lushness to any room. However, keep in mind that rubber trees can be prone to common pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects.\nKeep an eye out for any signs of infestation, such as yellowing leaves or webbing, and treat the plant promptly to prevent the pests from spreading.\nGrowth and Structure\nWhen growing a Rubber Tree plant, you should pay attention to its growth and structure. Ensure to strategically prune it throughout the seasons to control height and branching. This will not only keep your plant looking aesthetically pleasing but also maintain its overall health and prevent it from becoming too tall and top-heavy.\nRubber Trees have a lovely structure and quick growth, making them a popular indoor houseplant. However, they can also be grown outdoors under the right conditions.\nTo propagate a Rubber Tree plant, you can use air layering or stem cuttings. Air layering involves making a small cut in the stem, wrapping it with moss, and covering it with plastic wrap until roots develop. Stem cuttings can also be taken and propagated in water or soil.\nWhile Rubber Trees are low-maintenance plants, they can be prone to pests and diseases such as spider mites and root rot. To prevent these issues, ensure your plant is not overwatered and has proper drainage, and regularly inspect the leaves for any signs of infestation or disease.\nWatering and Soil\nTo properly care for your Rubber Tree plant, make sure to keep the soil consistently damp while also providing good drainage and using porous soil. To achieve this, water your Rubber Tree regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soaking wet. Watering techniques vary depending on your plant’s location, but generally, indoor plants need watering every 7-10 days, while outdoor plants may need watering more frequently during hot weather.\nWhen it comes to soil types, Rubber Trees prefer well-draining soil that’s rich in nutrients. A good soil mix for Rubber Trees consists of equal parts peat moss, perlite, and sand. You can also add some organic matter, such as compost or worm castings, to increase the soil’s fertility. Remember to repot your Rubber Tree every 1-2 years to provide fresh soil and more space for growth.\nBy following these watering and soil tips, you can ensure that your Rubber Tree plant thrives and remains healthy for years to come.\nFor optimal growth, you should place your Rubber Tree plant in a location with lots of bright, indirect light. Rubber Trees thrive in areas with filtered or dappled sunlight, so it’s best to avoid placing them in direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves.\nA north-facing window or a spot near an east-facing window is ideal for indoor Rubber Trees. If you don’t have access to natural light, artificial light sources like grow lights can also be used to provide the optimal exposure for your Rubber Tree plant.\nIt’s important to note that Rubber Trees can be sensitive to changes in lighting and may exhibit signs of stress or leaf drop if exposed to too much or too little light. To avoid this, monitor your plant’s lighting needs and adjust its placement accordingly.\nRemember that lighting needs can vary depending on the season, so it’s important to pay attention to your Rubber Tree’s behavior and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal growth.\nOne way to keep your beautiful Rubber Tree plant looking its best is by strategizing how and when to prune it. Pruning your Rubber Tree plant will not only help control its height and branching but also promote new growth, which can lead to a fuller and healthier plant.\nHere are some tips on pruning your Rubber Tree plant:\n- Prune your Rubber Tree plant in the spring or early summer when it’s actively growing.\n- Use sharp and clean pruning shears to make clean cuts.\n- Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased leaves and branches.\n- Cut back new growth by one-third or half to encourage branching and bushier growth.\nIn addition to pruning benefits, it’s also important to watch out for common pests and diseases that can affect your Rubber Tree plant. Some common pests that can infest your plant include spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. To prevent these pests, regularly inspect your plant and keep it clean.\nAs for diseases, Rubber Tree plants can be susceptible to leaf spot, root rot, and bacterial blight. To prevent diseases, avoid overwatering, provide good drainage, and keep the plant in proper lighting conditions.\nVersatility and Low-Maintenance\nYou can easily incorporate a Rubber Tree into your home decor as a versatile and low-maintenance houseplant that adds beauty and greenery to any space. These plants are known for their adaptability and ability to thrive in a variety of indoor environments, making them an ideal choice for those who want a plant that requires minimal care.\nWhen it comes to low maintenance care, Rubber Trees are the perfect plant choice for busy individuals or those who may not have a green thumb. They require little watering and can tolerate a range of lighting conditions, making them an ideal choice for any room in your home.\nIn addition to their low maintenance needs, Rubber Trees also have versatile uses. Not only do they add beauty to your living space, but they also help purify the air by removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene.\nOverall, Rubber Trees are a great investment for anyone looking to incorporate a beautiful, low-maintenance plant into their home decor.\nOutdoor Rubber Trees\nIf you’re considering adding a Rubber Tree to your outdoor garden, it’s important to remember that these plants require warm temperatures and proper sunlight, water, and protection from extreme weather conditions. The Rubber Tree hails from the rainforests of South and Southeast Asia, where they can grow up to 130 feet tall. When planted in the ground outdoors, they can reach up to 10-15 feet in height. However, proper acclimation and care are necessary to ensure your Rubber Tree thrives.\nHere are some tips for outdoor rubber tree care:\n- Gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor conditions before leaving it outside overnight\n- Pay attention to where the plant is placed outdoors, protecting it from direct sunlight, wind, and drafts\n- Move the plant back indoors before running indoor heat all the time\n- Pay attention to watering needs when moving the plant\nAdditionally, potential pests and diseases can affect outdoor Rubber Trees. Monitoring for and treating these issues promptly can help your plant stay healthy and strong.\nIdeal Growing Conditions\nTo achieve optimal growth, it’s important to provide the Rubber Tree plant with consistent moisture, well-draining soil, and plenty of bright, indirect light. When growing an outdoor Rubber Tree, it’s important to pay attention to the ideal growing conditions to ensure your plant thrives. The following table outlines the ideal growing conditions to keep in mind:\n|Bright, indirect light\n|Consistent moisture without letting soil become waterlogged\n|Well-draining, porous soil\n|Air layering or stem cuttings\n|Pests & Diseases\n|Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Common diseases include leaf spot and root rot.\nWhen it comes to propagation, Rubber Trees can be propagated through air layering or stem cuttings. However, it’s important to keep an eye out for common pests and diseases that can affect your plant’s growth. Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects, while common diseases include leaf spot and root rot. To prevent these issues, make sure to maintain proper growing conditions and regularly inspect your plant for any signs of infestation or disease. By providing your Rubber Tree with the proper growing conditions and monitoring for pests and diseases, you can ensure that your plant stays healthy and thriving.\nWhen considering where to plant your Rubber Tree, it’s important to take into account the USDA Hardiness Zones that can support the plant’s growth. Rubber Trees thrive in warm temperatures ranging from 65°-85°F, making them suitable for growth in USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12.\nHowever, if you live in a region with colder temperatures, you can still grow your Rubber Tree outdoors by taking extra precautions. To adapt to changing weather conditions, gradually acclimate your Rubber Tree to outdoor conditions by exposing it to the elements for a few hours each day before leaving it outside overnight.\nPay attention to where the plant is placed outdoors, protecting it from direct sunlight, wind, and drafts. Move the plant back indoors before running indoor heat all the time, and be sure to pay attention to watering needs when moving the plant.\nRubber Trees can be sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, so it’s important to monitor their growth and adjust as necessary.\nHeight and Growth\nYou can control the height and branching of your Rubber Tree plant by strategically pruning it throughout the seasons. This will not only keep your plant at a manageable height, but it will also encourage fuller growth and a more aesthetically pleasing shape.\nWhen pruning your Rubber Tree, focus on removing any dead or damaged branches, as well as any growth that’s extending beyond the desired height or width. You can also pinch off new growth at the tips of branches to encourage more branching and a bushier appearance.\nIn addition to pruning, proper propagation methods and pest prevention can also help ensure the healthy growth of your Rubber Tree plant. To propagate your plant, you can use air layering or stem cuttings. For pest prevention, keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites and mealybugs, and use natural remedies or pesticides as needed.\nWith these tips in mind, your Rubber Tree plant can thrive both indoors and outdoors.\nAcclimating to Outdoor Conditions\nIf you plan to move your Rubber Tree plant outdoors, it’s important to gradually acclimate it to the new conditions. Sudden exposure to outdoor elements can shock the plant and cause damage, so follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition:\nStart by placing the plant outside for a short period of time each day and gradually increase the amount of time it spends outdoors.\nChoose a spot that offers protection from direct sunlight, wind, and drafts.\nMonitor the plant closely for signs of stress, such as drooping leaves or discoloration.\nBefore leaving the plant outside overnight, make sure it’s been acclimated to the outdoor conditions and is ready to thrive.\nIt’s also important to note that Rubber Trees can be toxic to pets if ingested, so be mindful of where you place the plant in your yard. Additionally, Rubber Tree sap is a substance with various uses, including the production of rubber products and medicinal remedies. Keep these factors in mind as you enjoy your new outdoor addition.\nProtection from Sun and Wind\nNow that you’ve successfully acclimated your rubber tree to outdoor conditions, it’s crucial to protect it from the elements. Sun and wind protection is essential for the plant’s health and growth.\nRubber trees require bright, indirect light, so placing them in direct sunlight can scorch their leaves. Consider shading the plant with a sheer curtain or placing it under a tree canopy.\nIn addition to sun protection, wind can also be damaging to rubber trees. Strong gusts can cause the leaves to dry out and fall off, stunting the plant’s growth. If you live in a windy area, consider placing a windbreak around the plant. This can be a fence, a row of shrubs, or even a temporary structure like a trellis.\nBy providing your rubber tree with sun and wind protection, you can ensure it thrives in its outdoor environment. Remember to monitor the plant’s growth and adjust its placement if necessary.\nSensitive to Temperature and Humidity\nMaintaining consistent temperature and humidity levels is crucial for the health of your rubber tree plant. Rubber tree plants are native to Southeast Asia, where they grow in the humid, tropical climate. This means they thrive in environments with high humidity levels and warm temperatures.\nTo control humidity levels, you can use a humidifier or place a tray of water near the plant to increase moisture in the air. It’s also important to monitor the temperature in the room where the plant is being grown, as rubber tree plants are sensitive to fluctuations in temperature. Avoid placing the plant near drafts or in areas where the temperature fluctuates frequently, such as near a window or air conditioning unit.\nBy monitoring the temperature and humidity levels and making adjustments as needed, you can ensure that your rubber tree plant thrives and remains healthy.\nFrequently Asked Questions\nCan rubber trees be grown in colder climates?\nYou can grow rubber trees in colder climates with greenhouse cultivation. Ensure they get enough sunlight, warmth, and proper winter care. Innovative technology can help you maintain optimal conditions for your plants.\nHow often should indoor rubber trees be fertilized?\nTo keep your indoor rubber tree healthy, fertilize every 2-3 months during growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Propagate through stem cuttings or air layering. Incorporate fertilization and propagation into your plant care routine for optimal growth.\nAre rubber trees safe for pets to be around?\nRubber trees can be toxic to pets if ingested, so it’s important to keep them out of reach. If you want pet-friendly houseplants, consider alternatives like spider plants, Boston ferns, or African violets.\nCan rubber trees be used as outdoor shade trees?\nYes, Rubber Trees can be used as outdoor shade trees. They offer outdoor benefits like providing shade and enhancing the beauty of your surroundings. However, they require more maintenance than indoor rubber trees because of changing weather conditions and pests.\nHow often should outdoor rubber trees be watered during the growing season?\nTo keep your outdoor rubber tree healthy during the growing season, water it deeply once a week or when the top inch of soil feels dry. Make sure it receives bright, indirect sunlight to thrive.", "label": "No"} {"text": "24 April 2015\nSan Francesco - Cappella Guinigi\nClimate change directly impacts agricultural production. It triggers accelerated growth and early flowering in certain plants as well as changes in the rural agricultural calendar and viticultural practices. In addition to changes to the species’ growth itself, they are also increasingly impacted by the spread of pathogens and pests over a wider geographic area and the decrease in usable water and land resources. While crops in some parts of the world benefit from the changing climate, anthropogenic climate change is posing an overall negative impact on agriculture and the food security that is dependent on it. Agriculture and food will play a prominent role in the post-2015 development agenda. The agro-food sector alone accounts for some 80 percent of total freshwater use, 30 percent of total energy demand, and 12-30 percent of man-made greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. With global food production expected to increase 70 percent by 2050, the sector is facing unprecedented resource pressures, with more on the horizon. A sustainable development path for future food systems will require transformative changes in technologies, policies and behavior of all actors along the whole food chain. New technologies and new business models for farming and food processing will need to play a major role. R&D investment in the agro-food sector is a prerequisite for achieving a sustainable intensification of agriculture and wise investments would need to become available in the next 10-20 years. Agriculture and its associated food practices play a two-sided role in the climate change challenge. On the one hand, agriculture is in itself a major contributor to the atmospheric greenhouse gases that cause climate change. On the other hand, crops also capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequester it, thereby mitigating part of the greenhouse gas effect. Whether the goal is climate change mitigation or adaptation, we need to develop strategies that intelligently manage agriculture and food supply. This is essential if we are to ensure that the ten billion people who will inhabit this planet by 2050 have access to sufficient and nutritious food. And that this access is sustainable.\nValentini, Riccardo - Università degli Studi della Tuscia - Viterbo", "label": "No"} {"text": "The ISBN is a key element in the book industry.\nWhat is an ISBN?

Draw Weight\nIn comparison, the greatest crossbows frequently have a draw weight of 50 lbs. A draw weight of about 150 lbs is suggested for animals ranging from big rabbits to whitetail deer. It is suggested to use a draw weight of about 200 lbs when confronting dangerous animals like bears or moose that could charge you.\nLet-off is a common issue when talking about conventional compound bows. As you get closer to the finish of the draw, the draw weight starts to diminish, allowing you to hold the draw for a longer time. When using a typical bow for hunting, this is crucial. However, with a compound bow, the entire weight is supported by your trigger mechanism. As soon as the bow is cocked, the draw weight is irrelevant. Best crossbows are therefore exempt from let-off.\n3. Crossbow Width\nFor a long time, it was believed that the accuracy was greatly affected by the distance between the points of the recurve arm or the axles of the compound bow. Recent tests support the opposite. Although there is always room for improvement, it has recently been found that this variable doesn’t matter at typical hunting or target distances.\n4. Power Stroke\nOne of the most crucial and little-understood components of crossbow design is this. The distance between the bowstring’s resting position and its completely drawn point is known as a crossbow power stroke. The draw length is the same as it would be with a conventional bow. This is especially true for recurve crossbows. However, arrow speed is always affected by other factors.\nThe arrow speed, which is measured in feet per second, is the first (fps).

One of which is \"cesspit\".\nBut what actually is a cesspit? How does one work? In this blog, we'll go through everything you need to know about cesspits.\nTo put it simply a cesspit is a sealed, fully-enclosed tank that collects and stores sewerage. However, it does not treat any of the waste that is collected, it simply stores it to be emptied when needed.\nSo, it's purely a holding tank without an outlet. None of the waste collected is treated or drained. It simply collects waste and stores it in an underground tank.\nCesspits, like septic tanks, are normally buried underground, for this reason, they won’t take up too much room. Of course, you will have one or more manholes that are needed for access when emptying.\nAs there is no drainage or outlet cesspits require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. You'll be looking at getting a cesspit emptied every month, possibly more depending on the size of your household and your water usage.\nIt's important to note that when you do get a cesspit emptied you should use a registered waste handler. This will ensure any waste will be disposed of properly.\nIt's down to you to ensure you employ a registered waste carrier, and make sure you get all the correct paperwork. Make a note of the disposal site as well.\nIn rural areas, septic tanks are the more common and preferred option. However, your soil could fail soak away tests, or if the property doesn't have a watercourse or surface water drain the sewage can go into, a cesspit is really your only other option.\nMost of the time cesspits are only used as temporary sewage systems. Think construction sites, or often in locations where they won’t be used often and thus won’t need to be emptied as often.\nFor example, having a cesspit as the main sewage system for a house should be avoided. However, it wouldn't be uncommon at a campsite.\nCesspits don't need to be registered, but if you plan to install one you will need to getting planning permission to do so.\nAs you can probably infer from the above a cesspit is pretty simple in the way it works.\nYour drains are connected to the underground tank with all waste water flowing into here. Here it is simply stored until it needs to be emptied.\nLike septic tanks and other holding tanks this answer depends on a few variables. The main two being:\nIf you use a cesspit you will need to have it emptied more often than aseptic tank. The above two factors will determine whether it needs to be emptied monthly, quarterly or yearly.\nHowever, the cesspit may also need to be emptied at any point between those time periods so it's important to keep on top of maintenance.\nThe general recommendation for cesspit emptying is every six weeks.\nThis regular emptying interval will avoid the build-up of solids or the possibility of an overflow. Both of which you want to avoid!\nThis really depends on the size of your cesspit, as it would for the size of your septic tank. Cesspits should be emptied and inspected more than septic tanks, this will also add to the overall cost of having a cesspit. If you want to get a quick idea of you can get a quote from us today.\nCesspits and septic tanks both collect wastewater and sewage from households or businesses that don't have a mains sewer connection. However, there is one key difference between the two.\nA septic tank offers a simple treatment process, whereas a cesspit simply collects waster water and sewage.\nMost of the time a cesspit is a sealed underground tank with the sole purpose of just collecting wastewater and sewage. There's no processing or sewage treatment involved and it’s important to note that cesspits are storage only and cannot have an outlet.\nHowever, a septic tank can store and uses a simple treatment process that allows the treated wastewater to drain away to a soakaway or stream.\nIn short, yes cesspits are legal in the UK. You do not require a permit for cesspools and you do not have to comply with the general binging rules that apply to septic tanks. You do however need to get planning permission and building regulations approval if you wish to install a cesspit at your property.\nIf you do own a cesspit the most important thing you need to do is stay on top of its maintenance. As laid out by the government.\nYou must maintain your cesspool and make sure it:\nThe Environment Agency or your local council can make you repair or replace your cesspool if it’s in poor condition.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Frequently Asked Questions\nDoesn’t sugar/starch do the same thing?\nSugars (glucose, fructose, corn syrup) are very hydrophilic. That means they need to be given with large amounts of water or they may draw water into the gut from the body. In some dogs this causes gastric upset (vomiting/diarrhea) and even dehydration!\nStarches (bread, potatoes, rice, barley) require digestion to break them down into sugars that can be absorbed. This process takes time and, unfortunately, the window of opportunity to utilize the GLUT4 pathway closes long before the starch can be fully digested.\nWhat’s so bad about insulin?\nInsulin is necessary to transport sugars into cells. As long as enough sugar is present, the body is balanced. Unfortunately, the sugar level in the blood drops before the insulin level, resulting in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Hypoglycemia causes fatigue and a sluggish response to commands. This effect is especially evident when large doses of sugar (or starches) are given.\nWhy doesn’t maltodextrin release insulin?\nMaltodextrin is not a sugar. It is a small complex carbohydrate that doesn’t trigger the release of insulin.\nWhen do I give Glyco-Gen Energy Shakes?\nGlyco-Gen Energy Shakes should be given within 30 minutes of exercise. A second dose 45-60 minutes later may provide additional benefit to a very exhausted dog. In addition, if a dog tends to get exhausted during work, a half-dose given 15-20 minutes before work could prove helpful.", "label": "No"} {"text": "You may have many questions when you find out that you are pregnant, but some of the most common concerns revolve around nutrition and food safety. These are some basic guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to get you started. As always, your situation may be different and so always discuss specifics with your provider.\nHow much weight should I gain?\nThis depends on your pre-pregnancy BMI (body mass index - a calculation from your height and weight). In general, however, if your pre-pregnancy weight is normal you should gain between 25 to 35 pounds. Most women stay within this goal with an increase of only 300 extra calories a day (equal to about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and one slice of whole wheat bread). If you are underweight, however, you may need to gain more weight, and if you are overweight, less. Your doctor can help you to come up with a specific weight goal.\nWhat foods can't I eat?\nAlcohol, of course, is not recommended in pregnancy, but there are other restrictions. Other foods can put you at risk for listeriosis, a bacterial infection that causes miscarriage and stillbirth. Unpasteurized milk and cheese can put you at risk, as can raw or undercooked shellfish, meat, or poultry. Deli meats and hotdogs are okay if they are heated until they are steaming hot.\nWhat about fish?\nThat depends on the fish! Certain large fish may contain too much mercury to be safely eaten in pregnancy. High levels of mercury exposure in pregnancy may lead to nervous system damage in the unborn child. If you are pregnant you should avoid eating Shark, Tilefish, Swordfish, and King Mackerel and limit your intake of albacore tuna to 6 ounces a week.\nYou may eat fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury, but no more than 12 ounces a week. If you want to eat fish caught by family or friends from local waterways check for local advisories first, and do not eat more than 6 ounces.\nDo I need to take extra vitamins or supplements?\nIt is important to take enough folic acid and iron in pregnancy. Usually prenatal vitamins have enough of both of these nutrients. Folic acid can prevent neural tube defects and is most effective if it is taken before pregnancy through the first trimester. For most women 400 mcg of folic acid is enough, though some women are at a higher risk. If you have a history of a child with a neural tube defect or take certain medications you may need 4mg a day instead.\nIron helps to support the growing baby an extra blood supply. During pregnancy you need 27 mg of iron daily, though if you develop anemia you may need more.\nCan supplements be dangerous?\nMany supplements and herbs are not well studied in pregnancy and therefore should be avoided. To be safe, review any medications (prescription or not) you are taking with your doctor. Certain supplements are known to be dangerous in excess. High amounts of vitamin A (over 10,000 IU a day) can cause birth defects.\nWhat else should I know?\nMany different things can affect your nutrition and nutritional needs in pregnancy. Pre-existing medical problems, prior pregnancy history, and carrying multiples are only a few of the factors that can change your needs, so it is important to maintain a dialogue with your provider and discuss any concerns you may have.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Between the TrainsMath brain teasers require computations to solve.\nTwo trains are on a head on collision course.

The classic \"taste modalities\" are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. For sweet, sour, salty, and umami, there is a single taste receptor; the only information you get from those senses is degree of activation. In contrast, there are over twenty five bitter receptors, called T2Rs.\nSo is bitter taste similar to the other modalities, a single labeled line, or is it more complex? Some people (the Zuker lab chief among them) propose that, like sweet and sour, we can only detect the extent to which something is bitter. That is, there is a single \"labeled line\" for all bitter tastes. This would reduce our sense of taste to five labeled lines. The ability to discriminate between similar tastes - e.g. between two citrus fruits - would be due to extra information from olfaction.\nThere is the alternative possibility that bitter is not a single labeled line, but more than one line. Individual bitter taste cells could express a subset of T2Rs, have individualized receptive fields, and discriminate between different bitter compounds. Today I'm going to review the evidence for both theories at the level of the tongue, brain, and behaviour.\nBitter on the tongue\nThe bitter receptors were discovered circa 2000, and reported in a series of papers. In one of those papers (Adler, et al 2000), the authors performed in situ hybridization against multiple T2Rs on the tongue. The found similar numbers of cells were labeled whether they used probes for 1, 2, 5, or 10 T2Rs (see below, left). Notably, they state that labeling 2+ receptors labeled 20% of taste cells, while labeling with only 1 receptor labeled 15% of taste cells. Here, the difference could be due to simple labeling inefficiency. They alternately verified this by performing double-labeled fluorescent in situs, and found \"most\" cells coexpressed multiple receptors. From this, they concluded that individual bitter taste cells in the tongue express most T2Rs, and are sensors for bitter, generally.\n|Individual taste cells express multiple bitter taste receptors. c. In situ label using 10 probes for T2Rs. The number of cells labeled here is similar to single label probes. d. Fluorescence in situ double-labeling for T2R3 (green) and T2R7 (red). Most cells express both T2Rs.|\nFrom Adler et al 2000.\n|Individual taste cells respond to only a subset of bitter tastants. A. Three example taste cells each respond to different tastants (denatonium, quinine, cycloheximide, phenylthiocarbimide, and sucrose octaacetate). B. Response for all responsive cells to bitters. Cell ID on left, tastants on top. From top to bottom, cells respond to more tastants.|\nFrom Caicedo and Roper, 2001.\nIn 2005, Zuker fired back. Bitter signaling uses a G-protein coupled cascade that signals through PLCβ2; PLCβ2 KO mice lose all bitter taste. Mueller et al took PLCβ2 -/- mice, and then expressed PLCβ2 under a T2R promoter, like mT2R5 (m for mouse). When they did that they were able to fully rescue bitter taste.\n|Expression of PLCβ2 under the expression of a single bitter receptor rescues all bitter taste. The \"relative response\" measures the amount of licking mice did of bitter compounds (inverse). Control mice do not lick bitters. PLC -/- mice cannot taste bitter, and so lick bitters. PLC expressed behind the promoters for mT2R5, mT2R32, and mT2R19 is able to rescue bitter perception.|\nFrom Mueller et al 2005.\nHowever, again, I feel this is not quite conclusive. If bitter taste receptor expression overlaps randomly, while an individual taste cell may not express all T2Rs, the whole population of mT2R5 taste cells could express all the other T2Rs. And hence allow full recovery of bitter sensitivity.\nBitter in the brain\nThere's a lot more interesting stuff about bitter taste on the tongue - for example, the Meyerhof lab has identified the ligands for many human taste receptors - but let's move to the brainstem (and beyond!).\nFew labs have recorded from the taste areas of the brainstem. Chief among them are David V Smith and the Travers of Ohio State. In 2006, Geran and Travers recorded from NST of rats while applying the classic tastants + a set of bitters. And they found that some cells in NST responded differentially to cycloheximide and denatonium. And if the brain can discriminate between different bitters, surely the tongue must as well...\n|Individual NST neurons can discriminate denatonium (DEN) from cycloheximide (CHX). Pardon the figure, it's excised from a MUCH larger one. y-axis is response rate, x-axis is neuron ID. On the right are the bitter sensitive neurons (B-best). The first three neurons respond to denatonium, while the rest do not. There also may be quinine neurons.|\nFrom Geran and Travers, 2006.\n|Gustatory cortical neurons may be able to discriminate between different bitters. left.

Bar chart of # of cells that respond to bitters.|\nFrom Chen et al, 2011.\nBitter in the \"mind\"\nSo what about, you know, bitter perception itself? This has been rather ill studied. Many people have shown that typical \"bitter\" stimulants are aversive. Only a couple have tested whether mice can discriminate between them.\nThe best paper I've found tested whether mice could discriminate between quinine and denatonium (I wonder if scientists choose these chemicals so often because they're much easier to pronounce and remember than sucrose octaacetate). To ensure that the mice were not discriminating between different intensities of bitterness, they measured the aversiveness of each chemical, and used iso-yucky concentrations.\n|Thirsty mice were allowed to lick a water bottle for five seconds. The lick rate over the last 3 seconds of the trial determined the \"stimulus licks\" and were normalized to water licks. Dashed rectangles denote equivalently aversive concentrations.|\nFrom Spector and Kopka, 2002.\n|Mice are unable to discriminate between quinine and denatonium. See above for details.|\nFrom Spector and Kopka, 2002.\nAfter all this data, what can you conclude? The evidence for a single bitter labeled line come from the taste input and output, the receptors and the behaviour. In the brain, however, it seems that individual cells can discriminate between bitter tastants. It's certainly possible that taste neurons can discriminate between bitters before discarding the information as useless. I think the main issue here is the old scientific problem of, \"just because you can't detect it doesn't mean it's not there.\" I know reading these papers has suggested a few experiments to my mind.\nAdler, E., Hoon, M a, Mueller, K.

More people die of lung cancer in a year than from breast, prostate, colon and pancreatic cancer combined. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women – it ranks just behind prostate and breast cancer, respectively.\nEARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES\nAlthough there have been some real advances in the treatment of lung cancer, the average five-year survival rate for lung cancer in the U.S. is only 16.3 percent, unless it is detected early. If the disease is detected early, while it is still localized within the lungs, the five-year survival rate soars to 52.6 percent. So, your chances of surviving lung cancer are three times greater when it is detected early. If it is found while still in Stage 1, which is the earliest stage, there is an average five-year survival rate of over 80 percent.\nThe bad news is that only about 15 percent of all lung cancer cases are diagnosed at an early stage because, often in the early stages, there are no real symptoms. That is one of the reasons why regular screenings are so important – especially if you are a current smoker or if you have ever been a heavy smoker for longer than 15 to 20 years.\nRecent studies have found that, through the use of low dose spiral CT scans of the chest, lung cancer can often be detected in its early stages before it becomes incurable, or even before a patient is showing symptoms. This type of screening can detect early stage cancers that cannot be seen on traditional chest X-rays. Check with your physician to see if you could benefit from a CT lung scan. Researchers are also exploring other detection tools, including a blood-based test. So far, however, results are mixed.\nIMPROVEMENTS IN THE TREATMENT OF LUNG CANCER\nMany advances in the treatment of lung cancer have occurred in the past decade, including the development of medications known as targeted therapies, which interfere with certain processes that cancer cells use to grow and spread, and immunotherapies, a type of targeted therapy that boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer. These drugs have given oncologists many more options\nin treating lung cancer and have made treatment more effective and safer for patients.\nNewer immunotherapy treatments have significantly improved survival rates for some lung cancer patients.\nA recent study, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in April 2017, demonstrated that, for a small subset of patients, immunotherapy can work for a very long time.\nLUNG CANCER RESEARCH INVESTIGATES MANY POSSIBILITIES\nMany clinical trials are looking at newer combinations of chemotherapy drugs to determine which are the most effective. Especially important for older patients who may have other health problems, doctors are studying these combinations to discover if treatment outcomes can be further improved. Sometimes, chemotherapy is also being used in combination with some targeted therapies and has been shown to improve survival rates.\nWith some types of lung cancer, research has shown that receiving chemotherapy before radiation or surgery may actually be helpful. Chemotherapy may shrink the tumor, making it easier to remove it with surgery. It may also increase the effectiveness of radiation and it can destroy hidden cancer cells at the earliest possible time.\nMore research needs to be developed for even more effective treatments for lung cancer. Currently, there are no cures for lung cancer and even the best options don’t help all patients. However, doctors are able to offer more treatment options with better outlooks for patients than a decade ago.\nWorld-Class Cancer Treatment Close to Home\nFlorida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) has put together a network of expert, board-certified physicians who bring world‐class cancer treatments to local communities, both large and small, across the state. With nearly 100 locations, FCS is the largest independent oncology/hematology group in the United States. That status puts the practice on the leading edge of clinical trial research and gives FCS physicians access to the newest, most innovative treatments.\nFlorida Cancer Specialists treats patients with all types of cancer and offers a number of services, such as an in-house specialty pharmacy, an in-house pathology lab and financial counselors at every location, that deliver the most advanced and personalized care in your local community.\n9776 Bonita Beach Rd SE,\nBonita Springs, FL 34135\nNaples – Napa Ridge\n6360 Pine Ridge Road,\nNaples, FL 34119\nNaples – Sierra Meadows\n8350 Sierra Meadows Blvd\nNaples, FL 34114\n681 4th Ave North\nNaples, FL 34102\nNaples – Goodlette\n1100 Goodlette Road\nNaples, FL 34102\nFor more information, visit FLCancer.com", "label": "No"} {"text": "The axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, is a neotenic salamander, closely related to the Tiger Salamander. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. It is also called ajolote (which is also a common name for different types of salamander). The species originates from numerous lakes, such as Lake Xochimilco underlying Mexico City. Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs.\nIn the bituminous blackness of the deep sea, what an alluring sight to a fish must be the luminescent organ dangling from the toothy jaws of Thaumatichthys axeli, \"Prince Axel's wonder-fish.\" The first specimen of this black, 18-inch bottom-dweller was trawled from a depth of 11,778 feet in the Atlantic by the Galathea expedition of 1950-52. The voyage's chronicler deemed the find \"unquestionably the strangest catch of the Galathea expedition, and altogether one of the oddest creatures in the teeming variety of the fish world.\"\nThese creatures live on or just underneath the surface of the very bottom of the ocean, on the abyssal plain. Called \"sea pigs\", they are a type of sea cucumber, which is a member of the same phylum as starfish and sea urchins (Echinoderms). They look and act kind of like slugs do up here on land. They feed on the mud of the sea floor, benefiting from the organic materials that settle to the ocean bottom. Sea cucumbers, starfish and sea urchins can be found in all depths of the ocean. For reasons scientists don't yet understand, members of the phylum Echinodermata (like the sea pigs) are extremely successful down in the ocean depths.\nSakis, or saki monkeys, are any of several New World monkeys of the genus Pithecia. They are closely related to the bearded sakis of genus Chiropotes. Sakis' range includes northern and central South America, extending from the south of Colombia, over Peru, in northern Bolivia. and into the central part of Brazil.\nOne of the world's meanest-looking species, the sabre-tooth dracula fish also lays claim as one of the most challenging freshwater sportfish. Broken lines, battered lures, and shattered rods attest to the sheer strength of these menacing predators, making it the ultimate quarry for both the fly and plug anglers.\nWith a mug like that, the star-nosed mole might seem to be in danger of scaring away all its food. Luckily, these bizarre-looking creatures can detect a snack and gulp it down all under a quarter of a second.\n\"Most predators take times ranging from minutes to seconds to handle their prey,\" said Ken Catania of Vanderbilt University. \"The only things I've found that come even close are some species of fish.\"\nThe secret to the mole's impressive foraging ability is the 22 appendages that ring its nose. Nearly blind, the animal uses this sensitive, star-shaped flesh to feel around in its dark, underground environment. This mysterious mole has moves that put the best magician to shame: The energetic burrower can detect small prey animals and gulp them down with a speed that is literally too fast for the human eye to follow.\nScientists have discovered a new species of bat that has large flat adhesive organs, or suckers, attached to its thumbs and hind feet. This is a remarkable find because the new bat belongs to a Family of bats endemic to Madagascar--and one that was previously considered to include only one rare species.\nThe giant grenadier, Albatrossia pectoralis , is a very large rattail, the only member of the genus Albatrossia, found in the north Pacific from northern Japan to the Okhotsk and Bering seas, east to the Gulf of Alaska, and south to northern Baja California in Mexico, at depths of between 140 and 3,500 m. Its length is up to 2.1 m. The giant grenadier has the usual greatly elongated pointed tail of the rattails.\nRaccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) are native to Japan, southeastern Siberia and Manchuria. Average adult head and body length is about 65 cm (2 ft) and weight ranges from 4 to 10 kg (9 to 22 lb). Average litters consist of 5 pups. Longevity is 3–4 years in the wild and up to 11 years in captivity.\nGiant otters may be as long as 2 metres (6 ft.) and weigh up to 30 kilos (70 lbs.)\nThe creature, dubbed the \"yeti crab,\" is so unusual that a whole new family of animal had to be created to classify it. Its official name is Kiwa hirsuta, and even after a year of study scientists say there's still much about it they don't understand.\nOne mystery is the purpose of the fine, hairlike filaments that coat the crab's arms and legs. The fibers trap bacteria, which the crab may use as food. But some scientists think the germs may filter out the toxic minerals that spew from the deep-sea vents.\nFangtooths are beryciform fish of the family Anoplogastridae (sometimes spelled \"Anoplogasteridae\") that live in the deep sea. The name is from Greek anoplo meaning \"unarmed\" and gaster meaning \"stomach\". With a circumglobal distribution in tropical and cold-temperate waters, the family contains only two very similar species, in one genus, with no known close relatives: the common fangtooth, Anoplogaster cornuta, found worldwide; and the shorthorned fangtooth, Anoplogaster brachycera, found in the tropical waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.\nThe pelican eel or Eurypharynx pelecanoides is a deep-sea fish rarely seen by humans, though the creatures are occasionally snagged in fishermen's nets.The pelican eel's most notable feature is its enormous mouth, much larger than its body. The mouth is loosely-hinged, and can be opened wide enough to swallow a fish much larger than itself.\nThis strange cartilaginous fish uses its long snout to scan over the sea floor for the electrical impulses of its prey that bury in the muddy sea floor, just like a metal detector. Like other chimaeras (such as ghost and elephant sharks), these animals lay horny egg cases in which their young are left to develop, potentially for up to one year. For defense, most chimaeras have a venomous spine located in front of the dorsal fin.\nLong extensions of three of this deep sea fish's fins allow it to stand on the ocean bottom where it waits for small crustaceans to drift towards it. The three elongated fins of the tripod fish may extend to nearly one meter (3 ft 3 in) in length.\nThe Japanese Giant Salamander (Andrias japonicus) reaches up to 1.44 m (4 ft 9 in), feeds on fish and crustaceans, and can live for up to 80 years. The Chinese Giant Salamander (Andrias davidianus) can reach a length of 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in).\nThe rarely seen king of herrings is the world's longest bony fish and has been documented to 41 feet in length, with reports to 50 feet, and 600 pounds. Its head and body is silver with blue streaks, with blackish streaks and spots on the body.

The largest catch recorded in Thailand since record-keeping began in 1981, was a female measuring 2.7 m (roughly 9ft) in length and weighing 293 kg(646 lb).

Since none of the adult specimens have ever been captured or sampled, it remains uncertain if they are the same genus, or only distant relatives\nThe Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis, lit. \"vampire squid from hell\") is a small, deep-sea cirrate cephalopod. The Vampire Squid is an extreme example of a deep-sea cephalopod, thought to reside at aphotic (lightless) depths from 600-900 metres (2,000-3,000 feet) or more. Within this region of the world's oceans is a discrete habitat known as the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ). In order to cope with life in the suffocating depths, vampire squid have developed several radical adaptations.\nBelonging to the Octopus suborder Cirrina, the genus Grimpoteuthis consists of over a dozen rare and poorly-known species, all of which are found in the extreme depths of the ocean. They are small, not getting much bigger than 20 cm (8 in), and their common name comes from the ear-like pair of fins (present in all cirrate octopuses, but generally larger in the Dumbos) which are used to assist locomotion the same way a squid uses its fins. Like other cirrate octopuses, the arms of the Dumbo Octopus are completely webbed, and they also retain an internal shell, something the more common incirrate octopuses (i.e. every other kind of octopus) have lost entirely. Dumbo Octopuses spend their time either sitting on the sea floor, or swimming just above it searching for food.\nThe Megamouth shark is an extremely rare and unusual species of deepwater shark.

When you also look at footprints from other locations you can start to piece together which species were the key players,” Davies agreed.\nSpecifically, Shillito plans to focus on how the large ancient creatures impacted river flows.\n“We do see some smaller-scale evidence of their impact; in some of the deeper footprints you can see thickets of plants that were growing. We also found evidence of footprints along the banks of river channels, so it’s possible that dinosaurs played a role in creating those channels,” he explained.\nThe area the dinosaur prints were found is apparently one of the top digging sites in England, and researchers hope to find even more evidence in the coming years.", "label": "No"} {"text": "||Some Terms used in the\nrefers to the thistles of the flower heads of the safflower plant, which grows wild all overthe U.S. and Mexico.

Buying a cool toothbrush and toothpaste can feel like picking out a present and can make children excited to clean their teeth, at least while the novelty lasts.\nUsing a musical timer\nOn average, it is recommended that everyone brushes twice a day for two minutes each time. Using a fun song that lasts around two minutes will help the time to go by quickly and add fun to the routine.\nOne of the biggest threats to a healthy mouth is sugary and starchy foods. Unfortunately, sugary and starchy foods are just what children crave and are reminded to crave. It is possible and important for parents to instill a love of certain foods in children- the healthy kind of food that doesn’t cause cavities. A great way to do this is by cooking together with healthy ingredients.\nGiving rewards for dentist visits\nGoing to the dentist is not always fun for a child.

It is not exhaustive. Partly, because life is not long enough. Partly, because there are always exceptions, for example, the Gamelin has very special audio characteristics which are not covered even if we knew what they were - which we don't. Partly, because you (we) would get lost in a mass of detail without getting the overall picture (nifty excuse). Partly, because, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, we don't know what we don't know. Kinda.\nWhen we play a single note, say C4 (middle C on a piano), it has a pitch a.k.a. its fundamental frequency. In the case of C4 this is 262Hz which means it sends out sound waves at this frequency. From observation we know that the same note, say, C4 on a piano and a saxophone sound very different (well, to most of us). We need an explanation.\nTurns out the explanation is not trivial. When an instrument is played: we hit something, saw something or blow into something, the physical design characteristics give it all manner of sound properties (this is true of the human voice as well). The sound characteristics of each instrument (or each noise producing device) create what is usually called the intrument's timbre - a sort of catch-all term which encompasses all the individual bits (highly technical term) or elements that collectively make up the instrument's unique sound.\nThe act of creating the sound creates multiple harmonics and overtones (covered in the next section) and what is called the Amplitude Envelope or in super-tech terms the ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope. Such an ADSR envelope for a single note would look something like that shown below:\nEach instrument (again, the human voice is an instrument) has a different ADSR Envelope - sustain times may be longer, attack times shorter, etc. - and some instruments, such as the piano, can vary the envelope (by using the sustain pedal) from note to note. Violinists seem to be especially clever at changing the ADSR envelope by doing strange things with their fingers while moving the bow. The important point to note (OK, OK) is that the frequency of the note is constant within the envelope it is the amplitude (kinda related to loudness) that changes. Within this ADSR envelope we seem to be especially sensitive to the attack part (which by the way, in the interests of sanity, is greatly simplified in the above diagram). Finally, it gets worse - much, much worse - each harmonic and overtone also has an ADSR envelope and they do not have the same characteristics even for the same instrument. Oh, stop the pain.\nHarmonics: When we play a single note, say, C4 (middle C on a piano) it has a pitch (a.k.a fundamental frequency). In the case of C4 this is 262Hz. But the instrument also generates harmonics or secondary waves (sometimes erroneously - IOHO - called overtones) which have frequencies at integer multiples, 2 times, 3 times etc. of the fundamental frequency. Thus, the note C4, from any instrument, will generate a fundamental frequency of 262 Hz (also called - confusingly - the first harmonic) and additional harmonics at 524 Hz (2 x 262 - the second harmonic), 786 Hz (3 x 262 - the third harmonic), 1048 Hz (4 x 262 - the 4th harmonic) etc. essentially forever but each - generally, but not universally - getting weaker. Each harmonic also has a ADSR (Amplitude) envelope. The physical design characteristics of the instrument (including the human's vocal chords) control the number and amplitude of the harmonics. (Further, instruments can generate strong and weak harmonics unrelated to their order, thus in a particular instrument the 3rd harmonic may be weak but the 4th strong.) To illustrate harmonic production with specific examples, the clarinet due to its physical design suppresses even-numbered harmonics, whereas a saxophone does not, even though both are reed based instruments. Harmonics are always at or higher than the Fundamental Frequency.\nOvertones: Overtones are additional sound waves created by the design of the instrument and are defined generically as any (including non-integer) multiples of the fundamental frequency thus, for example, they could be at 1.3 or 7.4 times the fundamental frequency. For string instruments (piano, guitar, violin etc.) and long thin instruments the first few harmonic and overtones do coincide and then start to diverge at higher values. Bells are the most notorious since apparently the harmonics and overtones never coincide. Each overtone also has a ADSR (Amplitude) envelope. Harmonics have an integer relationship with the fundamental and are always pleasing (or harmonious) to the ear whereas overtones because they may have a non-integer relationship (though can coincide with the harmonics as noted) may have an unpleasant, or dissonant, effect. Harmonics are almost always good, overtones are not always good. Overtones are always higher than the Fundamental Frequency.\nSome documentation uses the term overtone as if it were synonymous with harmonic. We find this confusing since a harmonic has a integer raltionship with the Fundamental Frequency whereas an overtone may, or may not, have an integer relationship. In cases where the term overtone is used to include integer relationships it is differentiated by using the composite, and in our view clumsy, term Harmonic Overtone.\nUndertone: A note below the Fundamental Frequency, having a numeric (integer or non-integer) relationship. Special playing techniques typically have to used to generate undertones. They do not occur naturally on most instruments. (The pipe organ is one of the exceptions).\nPartials: The term Partial is applied to everything - fundamental tone, harmonics, overtones - everything - since individually they are only a part of the complete musical note. Thus, one could say that a musical note is composed of all its partials.\nCounting: When we count harmonics the fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic, then at twicee the fundamental frequency we have the 2nd harmonic etc., etc.. When counting overtones we do not count the fundamental frequency thus, where and overtone and a harmonic coincide the 2nd harmonic = 1st overtone, the 3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone etc. The first partial is the fundamental, the second partial is the 2nd harmonic (which may also be the 1st overtone) etc. All very simple really.\nTimbre: We know from observation that, say, C4 from a soprano and a piano sound significantly different - they each have a different timbre (feel). In general, the timbre (or difference in tone quality) comes from the presence and loudness (amplitude) of harmonics and overtones and the ADSR envelope. The vibrational characteristics of each sound producer (instrument, voice etc.) are different and not all will generate harmonics (or overtones) at the same amplitude or with the same ADSR (Amplitude) envelope.\nSound Reproduction: When an instrument plays a note its physical characteristics will determine the number and amplitude of the harmonics and overtones. When that note is recorded all reference to the original properties of the instrument are lost. We do not record a saxophone playing C4, we record the sounds that a saxophone makes playing C4. A subtle but possibly important difference. Thus, when the sound is played back the harmonics and overtones captured by the recording become essentially fundamentals which may generate new harmonics and overtones with the characteristics, not of the original sound producer (instrument), but of the playback system.\nHealth Warning: The terms harmonic, overtone and partial are used with wildly varying degrees of precision in digital audio and general audio literature. For instance, you will frequently see harmonics described as overtones, including by otherwise very knowledgeable authors, which, IOHO, is at best confusing and almost always incorrect since as we have seen only for certain instrument types do they coincide and then typically only at lower harmonics. Finally, you will see the term partial applied to a harmonic which is strictly correct but usually imprecise and normally not terribly edifying. But it probably and regrettably achieves its subliminal goal of confusion for the poor reader and underlines the deity-like knowledge of the writer.\nSound is normally measured in decibels (dB). This is widely used but relatively meaningless as a term since the dB is simply the ratio of two values and as such is, of itself, dimension-less. It needs qualification to mean something. In acoustics what is written as dB normally means dB(SPL) where SPL is the Sound Pressure Level. Simply put SPL means the pressure that is measured at the listener's ears. In the real world this is a positive number so a dB(SPL) of 50-55 would be the typical ambient noise level in a normal office (which does not include ours which frequently appears to approach jet take-off noise levels). In the digital world db(SPL) would normally be a negative value with 0dB being the point at which distortion would typically occur after it has been put through a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) and then amplified for output on a loudspeaker system.\nSo dB (or more correctly dB(SPL)) is the measure of loudness, right?\nNot exactly. First, loudness is a subjective measure. If you spent your adolescent years in noisy discos or clubs you may find the sound of a jet fighter taking off under full-power 10 meters away to be a vague rumble, whereas someone who grew up in the arctic circle may find the sound of a New Yorker's normal speech level to be approaching the pain threshold. Second, it turns out that we humans are jolly clever and have evolved a hearing system that is more sensitive to sounds in certain frequencies than in others. In general, we are more sensitive to sound in the range 400Hz to 5KHz with particular sensitivity in the range 2 - 4KHz. This variable sensitivity could be, speculatively, attributed to the sound of danger or other potentially unpleasant circumstances. It would be reasonable to speculate over the long span of history we would have become especially sensitive to, say, the sound of a bear crashing though the woods towards us. While we are in the realm of pure speculation it may also we worth observing that most men seem relatively insensitive to the sound of a baby crying at 4am (frequencies unknown) whereas most women are not. Although this phenomenon may be more related to a higher order function than simple hearing.\nThe human sensitivity to frequencies - and their perceived level of loudness - are described by a series of Fletcher-Munson curves (after the guys who developed them) and is measured in phons as shown below:\nThe graph shows that for a given level of loudness, say 40 phons, then at a frequency of around 3KHz the sound would only have to be around 32-33 dB(SPL) whereas to appear equally loud at a frequency of 20Hz it would have to be over 90 dB(SPL). A variety of equalization algorithms have been developed to process recorded material taking this perception phenomenon (generically known as physcoacoustics) into account - A-Weighting, B-Weighting and C-Weighting being the most common. Indeed if such an algorithm has been applied to compensate (or equalize) you will sometimes see the dB values written as dB(A) or dB(B) or dB(C) depending an the applied algorithm.\nWe have have made various comments throughout this and other pages that allude to hearing range such as \"unless you spend time in noisy clubs\". These comments are not entirely frivolous. Exposure to noise can cause damage to hearing. Various health and safety jurisdictions have regulations concerning timed exposure to noise levels in order to reduce the risk of hearing impairment. In general, the table below shows the maximum time that humans can be exposed to certain sound levels before running the risk of hearing damage.\n|Max. Exposure Time\n|Typical club is ~96dB(A)\n|Extreme club is ~104dB(A)\nProblems, comments, suggestions, corrections (including broken links) or something to add?

Exposure to respirable crystalline silica is a major hazard in this industry. Massive amounts of sand are used in the process, and silica exposure is a constant issue.\nNIOSH has identified silica exposure as the single biggest health issue in hydraulic fracturing. Their research also demonstrated that silica levels on these sites are so high that standard respirators are not sufficient for protection. With a 2018 deadline for hydraulic fracturing sites to comply with new OSHA limits for silica exposure, new tactics for silica dust control are needed.\nSILICA IN THE HYDRAULIC FRACTURING PROCESS\nThe hydraulic fracking industry uses huge amounts of sand (silica). Most grains are 2 mm or smaller in size. By some estimates, the average site requires somewhere between 1 and 7 million pounds of sand over its lifetime.\nAfter high-pressure water and chemicals are pumped into the rocks to create fractures, the spaces must be filled with sand to keep them open and allow oil and gas to flow. So much sand is used in this industry that mining and production of “frac sand” has become a major industry of its own.\nAREAS OF HIGH SILICA EXPOSURE\nMassive amounts of silica move around a hydraulic fracturing site. NIOSH has identified several points in the silica moving process that create the largest amount of silica dust. These areas are:\n- Open hatches on sand movers\n- Through side ports on sand movers during refilling\n- Depositing sand onto transfer belts\n- Sand moving on transfer belts between movers, hoppers, and blenders\n- Blender hoppers that mix sand\n- Accumulated dust stirred up by vehicles driving around the site\nNIOSH strongly recommends that engineering controls be put in place to control silica exposure at these points. They emphasize that the silica exposure at these points in the process is so heavy that respirators do not provide enough protection.\nHYDRAULIC FRACTURING SILICA EXPOSURE; CONTROLLING DUST ON SITE\nIn some situations, newer equipment has been designed to minimize silica dust release. In other situations, older equipment can be modified or rebuilt to these designs.\nFor many companies, especially with the industry still recovering from the severe drop in oil prices several years ago, these expensive modifications aren’t reasonable.\nAnother option is to install dust collectors directly on the equipment. A collector specially designed for hydraulic fracturing equipment can be fitted on sand movers, transfer belts, and blenders. With these systems installed, the amount of silica dust released is much lower.\nControlling silica release at these points of capture can decrease silica exposure all over the site. With less silica dust escaping, the overall amount of fugitive silica dust around the site is more manageable.

These districts are formed voluntarily by Virginia landowners and provide a number of important benefits to the landowners and surrounding communities. From a stewardship and administration standpoint, it would benefit both landowners and administrators to determine areas needing improvement within the AFD program. Also, it would be beneficial to these same parties to determine optimal methods for promoting the program to landowners who are not currently AFD members. The evaluation and understanding of these two topics could lead to an increased number of protected agricultural acres in the future as a result of implemented program improvements and improved program promotion.

According to the survey responses received, AFD landowners see the conservation aspect as being the number one program benefit and most did not see the program as having any drawbacks. Word of mouth and scheduled meetings were the top two suggestions for raising program awareness. This study found that the AFD program lacks sufficient incentive to encourage landowner participation. Also, AFDs pale in comparison to the benefits perpetual conservation easements offer landowners who are financially driven. Subjective conclusions and recommendations originated from both quantitative survey response findings and qualitative data gathered from both human and text based resources. The program needs to improve its incentives before it can really focus on promotion. AFDs seem to appeal to landowners who are interested in formal land conservation, but do not want the permanent restrictions of conservation easements.\nDriver, Martin, \"Agricultural/forestal districts: Surveying AFD landowners in Augusta County and the city of Staunton to determine areas for program improvement and program promotion strategies\" (2013).

This resource is intended help nurturing guides to use Indigenous ways of knowing and doing to respectfully engage with and support Indigenous families by creating respectful and effective Developmental Support Plans. Nurturing the Seed is a resource that can help practitioners to recognize and honor differing worldviews and create a platform to share valuable knowledge specifically relating to promoting infant mental health.\nThe Hand in Hand Developmental Support Planning Model (DSP) provides individualized plans which are developed by helping professionals for families to monitor and support the growth of a child in key areas of child development, namely: communication, problem-solving, personal-social, gross motor and fine motor, based on western theories of child development.\nAs the Hand in Hand model began to be used in communities, Infant Mental Health Promotion (IMHP) became more actively engaged with Indigenous stakeholders and families. We learned that while the purpose and intent of Hand in Hand align with the beliefs and needs of Indigenous stakeholders and families, if we really wanted to in order to respectfully engage them and support their children in culturally safe ways, we needed more culturally relevant information and tools.\nDuring many discussions with Indigenous advisors and community members, we began to explore, redefine and then create a bridge between Indigenous practices and Western practices within this resource. While no “manual” could fully capture the spirit and traditions of all indigenous peoples, we hope to offer some insight and honour some common traditional practice.\nTwo integral guiding principles to support the overall process of creating Developmental Support Plans with Indigenous families are:\n- to build strong and respectful relationships; and\n- to support development using an Indigenous lens (see pg. 28).\nOur hope is that the knowledge, guidance and strategies offered in this manual will help to ensure the process of working with Indigenous infants, children and families is carried out in ways that respect the realities, teachings and rights of Indigenous people.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Impact Is Slight for Early States Using ‘Growth’\n\"Growth models” are being held out as a better way to hold schools accountable than the method the No Child Left Behind Act uses now. But in an experiment with such models, they don’t appear to be making a big difference in the proportion of schools meeting annual goals under the federal law, an analysis by the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center concludes.\nSix of the nine states participating in the U.S. Department of Education’s growth-model pilot project provided information to the EPE Research Center detailing the number of schools making adequate yearly progress, or AYP, under the growth model. Under a growth model, states measure individual students’ progress instead of comparing test scores of a cohort of students against those of students in the same grade during the previous year.\nIn most cases in the pilot states, only a small percentage of schools made AYP using the growth model alone. Most schools that made AYP under the growth model also hit the law’s achievement targets under the standard accountability model used in most of those states.\nAccountability experts and state education officials attribute the relatively small impact of growth models in part to the stringent structure that the Education Department has established for states participating in the pilot project.\n“The department has pretty tough rules on what qualifies for growth models … to make sure that this wasn’t just a free ride for schools,” said Eric A. Hanushek, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, based at Stanford University, who has advised the department on the issue.\nThe growth models in the pilot program must follow a set of “bright line” principles under the pilot project. For instance, the accountability plans must adhere to the NCLB law’s target that all students be achieving at the proficient level on state tests by the end of the 2013-14 school year. Like standard state accountability plans approved under the law, also referred to as “status models,” acceptable growth models must hold schools accountable for the performance of subgroups of students, such as racial and ethnic minorities or students with disabilities.\nState officials and accountability experts point out that many states use statistical techniques in their status models to ensure that schools aren’t improperly labeled as not making AYP. Such techniques are generally barred under growth models. That distinction may help explain why some schools made AYP under the status model, but not under a growth model, and why the use of growth models benefited so few schools in some of the pilot states.\nAlaska, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, and North Carolina all submitted information for the EPE Research Center’s analysis. Arkansas and Tennessee are also participating in the pilot project, but did not provide data to the research center in time for the analysis. Ohio has also been selected for the pilot project, but it must tweak its accountability plan before it can employ the growth model.\nStatistical techniques used in status models include what are called confidence intervals, which permit a school, or a subgroup, to make AYP even if it misses its target, as long as its performance falls within a band set around that target, similar to the margin of error in polling data. States also employ “safe harbor” provisions, which were included in the law; those provisions allow schools credit for making adequate progress as long as more students maintained or moved up to proficiency in the current school year than in the previous one.\nThe Education Department does not permit states to use those techniques with their growth models, so many schools are still labeled as not making adequate progress.\n“The rules are limiting the potential benefits of growth models, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction,” said Pete Goldschmidt, an assistant professor of education at California State University- Northridge.\nFor instance, Alaska applied its growth model both to schools that made AYP under the traditional status model and to those that did not. No school in the state made AYP under the growth model that did not qualify under the status model.\nIn fact, 150 schools made AYP under the original status model, but would not have under the growth model alone.\nLes Morse, the director of assessments and accountability for the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development, attributed those results in part to the state’s use of confidence intervals and the safe-harbor provision. He said the state at first sought to include those techniques in its growth model, but the federal Education Department rejected the proposal.\nEven though growth models haven’t changed the label of many schools, officials in participating states say they are learning from taking part in the pilot.\nGrowth models provide “instructionally valuable” information for schools to “really get them to think about where [an individual] kid should be next year,” Mr. Morse said.“We didn’t have that kind of information until this growth model moved us to produce it.”\nGrowth models also enable states to recognize teachers and schools that deal effectively with students at various levels of proficiency, said Thomas E. Deeter, a lead accountability consultant for the Iowa Department of Education.\nThe analysis by the EPE Research Center, which is affiliated with Education Week, shows that growth models made a more dramatic difference in some states than in others. North Carolina applied a growth model only to schools that did not make adequate yearly progress under the status model. Just 12 schools made AYP under the growth model that would not have made it under the status model, or about 1 percent of all 1,052 schools in the state that made AYP.\nBy contrast, about 14 percent of the schools that made AYP in Florida made it under the growth model but not the status model. Like North Carolina, Florida applied the growth model only to schools that did not initially make AYP under the status model.\nMr. Hanushek of the Hoover Institution suggested that the use of a growth model might have made more of a difference in Florida than in North Carolina because more students are already at the proficient level under North Carolina’s standards. Florida’s standards, he said, are generally more closely aligned with the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the federal program known as “the nation’s report card,” and so are more rigorous.\n“That has an influence,” Mr. Hanushek said.\nFlorida officials said they hadn’t studied North Carolina’s accountability plan or standards closely enough to say whether they agree with that conclusion. They pointed out that growth in achievement was already a factor in Florida’s accountability system, so schools were paying close attention to individual students’ progress even before the growthmodel pilot.\n“We were actually quite pleased with the impact we saw with [the growth model],”said Juan Copa, the bureau chief for evaluation and reporting at the Florida Department of Education.\nVol. 27, Issue 16, Pages 24-25\n- School Principal\n- BLSYW, Baltimore, MD\n- Director, Professional Development Curriculum Design & Development\n- Northwest Evaluation Association, Portland, OR\n- Online Career Fair - Clark County School District\n- Clark County School District, Las Vegas, NV\n- Middle School Teachers - $125K Salary\n- The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School, New York, NY\n- Alphonsus Academy & Center for the Arts, Chicago, IL", "label": "No"} {"text": "There’s new evidence that excessive screen time early in life can change the circuits in a growing brain.\nScientists disagree, though, about whether those changes are helpful, or just cause problems.

His review deals with the Framework’s content and rigor, as well as with its clarity and specificity.\nGross generally likes what he sees of the former, and wisely observes that any good science program is an artful compromise between what is included and what is not. The Framework also uses another device to clearly limit its expectations--the Boundary Statements that “make explicit what is not expected of students at a given level.” Gross recognizes that such limitations amount to a matter of choice and illustrates it with the statement from the end of the 6-8 band:\nBoundary Statement. In this grade band, the forces and structures within atoms and their role in the forces between atoms are not introduced—nor are the periodic table and the variety of types of chemical bonds.\nGross spends some time discussing the implication of such limits** and, ultimately, concludes “that is a matter of professional (scientific and educational) opinion, and choices must be made.” Choices, indeed, must be made, yet this particular example of the Boundary Statement, one of only three examples in the Framework, raises quite a different issue. Expectations for the 6-8 band include students knowing that\n“[a]ll substances are made from some 100 different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. … [S]tudents should be able to distinguish between an atom and a molecule and the roles they play in the various states of matter. … Using evidence collected and analyzed from their own investigations, evidence from outside sources,… students confirm a model that matter consists of atoms in motion … Students can connect this particle model of matter to observations and present arguments based on it to defend the following claims: all substances are made from approximately 100 different types of atoms [etc.]”\nIt seems that the Framework’s authors want students to know a whole lot about atoms, elements, and molecules; yet they decided to deprive them of the most powerful mental organizing tool invented—the periodic table of elements.\nPerhaps excluding forces and structures within atoms makes sense, yet excluding the periodic table is akin to expecting students to memorize multiplication facts without teaching them about the decimal place-value system or about the multiplication table. This is not a simple matter of choice; it’s a matter the Framework authors did not think clearly through. Gross nicely states that a “good framework proposes reasonable limitations and undertakes to justify them” and he finds the Framework quite good on science content and rigor. However, the Framework is deficient in its expectations of doing quantitative science, and for using analytical mathematics in support of science learning, as I have addressed elsewhere.\nBeyond content in traditional domains of science, Gross finds much of the rest of the Framework less convincing. He questions the Framework’s treatment of engaging in scientific inquiry as distinct from studying science facts. As he dryly notes, the evidence for being able to separate the two “is thin to nonexistent in modern cognitive psychology.” He pointedly questions the wisdom of the Framework citing discredited post-modernist literature when discussing how science works, and he finally turns to perhaps the most significant change in this Framework, the addition of engineering.\nBeing an engineer myself, I found his critique scathing and on target. He observes that with the limited hours available for science, the addition of engineering seems counterproductive. He wonders whether it is driven by political motivations and finds the enthusiasm for it irrational. Perhaps his most telling question is “Why not medicine then?” In my experience students, with few exceptions, are ill prepared to tackle engineering topics in K-12. Their mathematical knowledge is too limited, and this Framework’s conspicuous math avoidance just makes it less probable that students will learn much beyond engineering appreciation. Teaching engineering in K-12 seems no more than fashionable nonsense. As with all other work-related skills that our schools sometimes attempt to teach, the employers’ pleas are quite clear: Teach students how to read and write well, and how to understand basics of math and science; we will do the job training itself, thank you. (I am discussing engineering in general education here, not dedicated vocational and technical programs.)\nBut perhaps it is worthwhile to cite here the overarching goal of the new Framework:\nThe overarching goal of our framework for K-12 science education is to ensure that by the end of 12th grade, all students have some appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science; possess sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on related issues; are careful consumers of scientific and technological information related to their everyday lives; are able to continue to learn about science outside school; and have the skills to enter careers of their choice, including (but not limited to) careers in science, engineering, and technology.\nIs this, really, an overarching goal of a nation that wants to be a technological leader of the world? To have students “appreciate the beauty and wonder” of science, and to be “careful consumers” of science and technology? Where is the actual knowledge of science and of its mathematical tools in this picture?\n(This post was also published on the Thomas B. Fordham Institute blog Flypaper)\n** The question of appropriateness of such boundary statements is not a trivial matter, or just a matter of making pedagogical choices. This is the first time I have seen a framework that explicitly and consistently tells teachers to put a ceiling on what they ought to teach their students. Until now, frameworks and standards were about what the average student is expected to know or, sometimes, what are the minimum expectations of them. Putting explicit ceiling on learning in the classroom, independent of how strong the class is, seems wrong-headed and deserves a much broader philosophical debate.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The Understanding the Anatomy of the Cardiovascular System learning program is designed as an introduction to the main structural features of the elaborate system that delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body’s tissues.\nThis program begins with a description of the heart, including its chambers, muscles, valves, and blood vessels.

Less sugars are available for NEB. NEB can be affected by activity from hydrolases. The amount of free sugars and amino acids can be involved in Maillard reactions if the activity of the enzymatic activity is high.\nThe Maillard reaction\nThe French chemist Louis Maillard is the inspiration for the reaction. The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between an acyl and a sugar. Like caramelization.\nThe French chemist Louis Camille Maillard is the inspiration for the Maillard reaction. It is sometimes referred to as non-enzymatic browning. The Maillard reaction involves heat-generated chemical reactions between sugars and proteins.\nThe process begins with the formation of a chemical compound called glycosylamine. The Maillard response is a reaction between a diminishing sugar and ant group. It is also responsible for the development of carcinogens and might, by reducing the concentration of essential amino acids, also decrease the nutrition of foods.\nThe Maillard reaction in a hot skillet\nThe Maillard reaction is similar to the process of caramelization, in that sugars turn brown when heated. You can taste the difference. A ripe banana has a deeper, more complex flavor than un ripe one.\nA raisin has a rich, smoky flavor that wasn't present in the grape. French fries are good for you because they are low in calories and they are good for you because they are good for you because they are good for you because they are good for you. The surface of meat degrades and becomes a crisp texture when cooked.\nThe brown \"crust\" on a seared steak is what is produced by this combination of the Maillard reaction and this. The Maillard reaction is not the reason for the crusty texture, but the result of the hot pan or oven drying out the meat through evaporation. 205 F is not hot enough to cause a Maillard reaction.\nThe Maillard reaction in the oven\nThe Maillard Reaction occurs when food is heated. The Maillard reaction is when the crust on a loaf of bread, baked cookies, toast, pan- fried perogies, cooked bacon, and seared steaks are all examples. When the food is dry and heat is applied, sugars and amino acids get rearranged and react to form new compounds that reflect light and give the meat a brown color.\nThe browning of sugar is what caramelization is about. The heat applied to the food will break down the sugars in the food and give it a sweeter flavor. Onions are a great example of a food that can benefit from both Maillard Reaction and caramelization.\nThe Maillard Reaction is an example of the caramelization that occurs. The air in the oven becomes hot and the cookie sheet becomes cooler. The dough is heated by the cookie sheet.\nMaillard Reaction Compounds\nDepending on how long you cook food and how warm you cook it, you can end up with different types of Maillard reaction compounds. There are certain reactions that will cause sweet, nutty, and caramel notes on products. Meat, fish, and sometimes even beer will have smoky, and sometimes even smilng flavor notes from other reactions.\nThe Maillard reaction is one of the most mysterious reactions in food science. It is one of the most taken-for-granted, least understood reactions in the world. The Maillard reaction is an extremely slow moving process if you don't have the right heat and water activity.\nThe effect of the browning would be hard to distinguish. A sugar molecule capable of being reduced or oxidation is a reducing sugar. Sucrose and trehalose do not contain free aldehyde or ketone groups.\nThe Maillard reaction does not involve sucrose and trehalose. They can be broken down into their monosaccharides in the right conditions. The creation of more linear sugar is possible because of the unstable chemical environment created by heating the sugar.\nThe only sugar that is involved in the Maillard reaction is linear sugar. To increase the heat, is the same thing as to increase the Maillard reaction. It should be obvious, but people prefer the taste of a loaf over a slice of bread.\nAlthough it is primarily used for cooking, it can also be used for medical studies aimed at cardiovascular problems and diabetes. The Maillard reaction can happen in the body or in the room. The process is the same as always.\nThe reactions of sugars and sugars are irreversibly after the Amadori product. The Maillard reaction can be confused with the caramelization reaction. The mechanism of the latter is due to the pyrolysis of sugars, not to a reaction between reducing sugars and proteins.\nThe Maillard reaction improves the taste, flavor, and color of food when it is cooked. The reaction to food being stored can give unfavorable effects, such as decreased nutrition and color degradation. When sugars are heated, they form a non-enzymatic reaction called caramelization.\nThe Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between an acyl and a sugar. Changing the amount of sugars and the availability of the amino acids can be used to control the Maillard reaction. Reducing sugars include exotic sugars like ribose.\nThe Maillard reaction is also known as non-enzymatic browning. It is a very complex process that involves reducing sugars and proteins. The Maillard reaction starts with a reducing sugar with amine.\nMaillard reaction requires heat\nThe Maillard reaction requires heat. Polowsky says that you don't necessarily need heat when cooking with the Maillard reaction. It can happen under normal temperatures, but it will take a long time. If it sits for long enough, a can of Parmesan can go brown in the fridge.\nGrilling and frying\nThe best way to make the reaction is with a hot cast iron skillet or a blow torch. In some cases, a grill can work, but the heat is applied on the grate and not evenly through the food.\nWhat is the Difference Between Baking and Cooked?\nWhat is the difference between cooking and baking? Baking is one of the methods that is included in the broader category of food preparation methods. Baking requires the use of indirect, dry heat from an oven to prepare food for eating, while cooking can be done a number of ways.\nBaking is a more scientific method. It is harder than cooking because of the many techniques involved.

The last hub I wrote on military aircraft was “11 most expensive fighter jet aircraft in the world”, and today I am sharing information on afterburners, turbofans, and turbochargers in jet engines. I hope you will like it.\nWhat are afterburners?\nInterestingly, afterburners are used to increase the thrust of jet engines by burning fuel after the turbine (turbojet engine) or after the core part (turbofan engine). The maximum thrust that can be obtained by the engine depends upon how much fuel you can burn in the combustor before melting down the turbine that just follows the combustor. So there is a limit to which fuel can be injected into the combustor. To increase power even beyond that, fuel is added to the hot stream of gases which still contains oxygen in it to burn the fuel. In turbofan applications, the exhaust is rich in oxygen since the bypass air forms around 80% of the total thrust. After the turbine, there is a ring of injectors which inject fuel into the incoming hot gases exhaust to produce additional thrust. Afterburners can augment the thrust to 180% of the maximum engine thrust but the fuel consumption increases up to three times with this technique. This is the reason why afterburners are not found in commercial airliners (exception Concorde Aircraft) but in military aircrafts. Afterburners are only engaged during takeoff, emergency situations (like outrunning the enemy) or while going from subsonic to supersonic regime where transonic drag is very high.\nAfterburners are entirely different than turbochargers\nIn a cylinder of an engine, the volume is fixed so the maximum amount of fuel that can be burnt in it without choking the engine is also fixed because of the volume of oxygen inside the cylinder. So if you want to burn more fuel, you need to have more air. Turbochargers compress the air and push it into the cylinder to burn more fuel. Turbochargers derive their power from the engine exhaust. So turbochargers are nothing but air compressors that are used in engines to obtain more power from the same volume engine without a turbocharger.\nAfterburners are not so efficient\nAfterburners are not very efficient because of the fact that the exhaust gases have lesser percentage of oxygen than the incoming air and most importantly, the air is not compressed as done in compressor before combustion. In an afterburner, the fuel burns in open uncompressed stream of air/gases.\nTurbofans do have afterburners\nIf you will search with keywords “Harrier jet afterburner” in google search, you will find links to two or three game sites and links to NASA and Ehow to understand about afterburner in a Harrier. A Harrier Jet is a unique design and for accommodating afterburner, you need to have variable nozzles. When the afterburner is used, the amount of gases exiting the nozzle increase and the nozzle is required to open up to increase the exit area. If a fixed nozzle is used, it will cause the compressor to stall because of rematch. Since Harrier uses 4 swiveling nozzles, this is the reason for it not having afterburners because it is difficult to make variable swiveling nozzles.\nIf you closely study the platypus-type exhaust of F 117 Nighthawk, you must be able to observe the fixed geometry nozzle. It is an interesting fact that F 117s don’t use afterburners because of stealth reasons. No afterburner system has been developed so far where the exhaust could be cooled. It uses a non-afterburning turbofan. Some people confuse the mixing of bypass air to the exhaust gases to cool them down. In turbofan engines, it is a common technique to increase the life of turbines and to reduce IR signatures. I hope the above information about afterburners in jet engines is helpful for you.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Versions of \"Dear Elizabeth\"\nUsing Elizabeth Bishop's words found in letters to May Swenson, which describe Bishop's pet birds, the \"Bicos de Lacre,\" otherwise known as the common waxbill, Swenson wrote \"Dear Elizabeth\" which was published in The New Yorker on October 9, 1965.

Various methods of generating combs exist which are suited for different applications. Mode-locked lasers naturally output a train of phase-locked spectral lines and are a very simple way of generating a comb. These lasers do not operate in the continuous wave regime and the generated comb has very limited flexibility. Such features make mode-locked lasers ill suited for certain applications like differential absorption LIDAR or ranging. One interesting method for comb generation uses a frequency-shifting element to repeatedly shift re-circulating optical fields. The method has a rich set of operating modes, including the possibility for the comb frequencies to shift in time creating an effective chirp. However, the bandwidth and noise characteristics of the signal are limited by the Erbium-doped-fiber amplifiers used in the loop. Parametric nonlinearities can lead to a wide range of interesting effects such as phase-sensitive amplification which, unlike typical phase-insensitive amplifiers, can amplify a signal without adding noise. Other properties of parametric amplification can include the generation of additional frequency components, a huge gain bandwidth (>200nm) with engineerable spectral shape, and an ultrafast (sub-ps) response allowing nearly instantaneous control of the process. We propose to investigate the use of parametric amplification for generating agile optical frequency combs. We will combine techniques used in communications, sensing and standard optical comb generation to suggest possible designs and evaluate their use in real-world applications.\nSmall Business Information at Submission:\nVice President of Engineering\n1801 Maple Avenue, Rm 6322 Evanston, IL 60201\nNumber of Employees:", "label": "No"} {"text": "Supermassive black hole mergers are one of the most dramatic phenomena\nin the Universe.

However, none has\nyet been caught in the act, in large part because they are rare, and no one knows what sort of\nlight they should emit along with the gravitational waves.

The city is 3,000 years in the making and combines Greek and Roman civilizations with ancient Jewish culture and baroque masterpieces.\nGreat history of Western civilization: Founded in 734 BC by Greeks from Corinth, Siracusa grew to become a city larger than Corinth and Athens, turning into a capital of Magna Crecia. It became an intellectual magnet that attracted the best brain power of the ancient world: from Aeschylus and Pindar of theater and poetry to Archimedes in mathematics and physics. The Romans invaded Siracusa in 211 BC, killing Archimedes and the city’s splendor along with him. Even though Siracusa remained the capital of Sicily under the Romans, its glory days were gone. When it was taken over by the Saracens Arabs, Siracusa was reduced to a fortified town. The 17th century earthquake served as a catalyst for the city’s renewal, and beautiful baroque buildings and squares came into being.\nToday, a visitor comes to Siracusa enticed by its two main attractions: a tangled maze of historic alleyways and squares of the Ortygia peninsula, and the world-renowned Greek Archeological Park of Neapolis. For the Jewish history pilgrim, Siracusa has a recently-discovered Miqwe (Jewish ritual bath), the oldest in Europe. It is also the city where one can visit the first synagogue and the first Rabbi in modern Sicily, 522 years after the Edict of Expulsion.\nDiscover Ortygia: there are four main points not-to-be-missed\nFirst and foremost: Piazza del Duomo. While admiring this masterpiece in baroque city planning and its beautiful cathedral, note the huge Doric columns inside and outside the building. Behind the baroque façade added by Andrea Palma in the 17th century, what you encounter is nothing less than an amalgamation of Sicilian history: Byzantine apes, Norman font, mediaeval ceiling, and most importantly, the great Greek Temple of Athena Minerva of the 5th century BC. Praised by the philosopher Cicero, who saw the Temple in the 1st century BC, this ancient Greek masterpiece is alive and well, and manifests itself to the world, safely embraced inside the cathedral. In Sicily and in Siracusa, the past had never been erased but accepted and lovingly accommodated with tact and sensitivity. As a perceptive traveler, you will see the Cathedral of Siracusa as a real Ark of human covenant.\nCaravaggio fans: Do not miss the small church Chiesa di Santa Lucia alla Badia at the southern end of the Piazza del Duomo, where the Burial of Santa Lucia by Caravaggio is displayed. Also, while strolling along the medieval Ortygia streets in its Judaic district, discover the church San Giovanello (St. John the Baptist), which used to be a synagogue. To the immediate right of the church is the house where Mario Minniti lived. A native of Siracusa, Mario was a painter, a friend, a follower, and perhaps, a sometime lover of Caravaggio, who he met while living in Rome. Mario was probably instrumental in helping a fugitive Caravaggio to secure the Santa Lucia commission. You know Mario Minniti’s face from Caravaggio’s Bacchus in the Uffizi and the Vatican, his Lute Player in the Hermitage, and from the Fortune Teller in the Capitoline Museums of Rome.\nJewish history seekers and history lovers: Via Alagona is one of the most picturesque medieval streets in the old Jewish neighborhood called Giudecca. There in the Alla Giudecca Hotel, you have a rare treat: an ancient Jewish ritual bath or Miqwe that is located 20 meters beneath the street level.\nTo see the contemporary synagogue, you have to leave the Ortygia peninsula and take a cab or drive about twenty minutes north into the Siracusa proper. Centro Sefardico Synagogue is located on Via Italia 88, near the Tribumanle Nuovo. To meet the rabbi Rav di Mauro, call him at 340-81-7434 or email at firstname.lastname@example.org. Tell him that you were referred by his friend Irene Shaland, the travel writer.\nCastle and fortress lovers: The fourth not-to-be-missed site in Ortygia is an often overlooked Castelo Maniace. Marking the southern tip of the Ortygia peninsula, this massive fortress was built by the Swabian Emperor Frederick II in the 13th century.\nSiracusa in Greek and Roman times — Parco Archeologico della Neapolis: Even if you are not a Classicist, this is a unique destination. Siracusa is the only place in the world where you can compare and understand Greek and Roman mentality side by side when you see Teatro Greco and Anfiteatro Romano one next to another. This is I think our good luck to have the Greek and the Roman worlds separated by several centuries but located few steps away in the Siracusa Archeological Park.\nAnfiteatro Romano is oval in shape and represents a closed space where everything is designed for the human eye: spectacles, sports of blood, to be seen and enjoyed by everyone. Cages with wild animals were placed all around the oval and the gladiator had to open one and fight whatever jumped out of the cage. Teatro Greco was cut out of the rock above the city in the 5th century BC. This is where Aeschylus staged his dramas. The Teatro’s architecture tells us about its builders and its audience: the theater is open wide with nature as its only backdrop. The acoustics are incredible: this is where theater was understood as an intellectual, almost religious event. Only in Siracusa the Greek intellectual world of Aeschylus and his Gods coexists with the Roman bread-and-circus killing spectacles.\nWhen you visit Siracusa, go to the Archeological park and take a few minutes to ponder the meaning of these two civilizations, their rise and fall, and their contributions to our own contemporary outlook on intelligence, art, and war.", "label": "No"} {"text": "By FRANCES LAMBERTS\nPerhaps it was with maintaining the precious heritage of wild nature and its creatures in mind that E.B. White located his children’s classic, The Trumpet of the Swan, in Montana. There, in 1935, the Congress had set aside the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge to preserve the last trumpeter swans, their numbers down to 73.\nThe story is about serious matters – a swan (Louis) overcoming a major handicap, people (the boy Sam) helping a non-human species to survive, and the need for creatures to mate if their life-form is to continue.\nIt doesn’t seem pure coincidence, either, that our state now has two official wildflowers. Under Governor Haslam in 2012, it adopted the Tennessee Coneflower as second wildflower, Passionflower being the first. Echinacea tennesseensis, uniquely our state’s heritage because it is found nowhere else, had just been de-listed from the Endangered Species Act protection the year before.\nThe plant delights with rose-purple petals turned upward, tracking the sun, and gives sustenance to butterflies and myriad other pollinating insects, songbirds dining on its seeds. Thought to be extinct, the state’s Heritage office and federal Fish and Wildlife Service had worked 32 years to bring it back to secure status, through listing under the ESA.\nWhen Congress passed the ESA, unanimously in 1973, it noted that many species of fish, wildlife and plants had already been rendered extinct – some 500 since the 1500s – “through economic growth and development untempered by concern and conservation.” It found many more species to be threatened with disappearance, even though of great aesthetic, recreational, scientific and other values to the nation and its people.\nThe law pledged to conserve species, whether endangered and imminently at risk of vanishing or if threatened to become endangered in the foreseeable future.\nThe Congress stipulated that the listing of a species, in either category, be based on the best scientific data, independent of economic considerations and associated political influence. The need-for-listing decision would depend solely on a species’ remaining numbers and the threats to its survival.\nThe Trump administration is now proposing a rule to which it seeks public input. The proposal would strip key provisions of the current ESA law. It would abolish protection of threatened species, except under special, additional review by the agency, for all future listings. It would end the fundamental principle that basic science only – not alleged cost – determine ESA protection. It would no longer require federal agencies to consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service on at-risk species’ presence, and incorporate some ameliorative measures if needed, before issuing permits for various projects.\nIn 2012, Americans paid just $5.40 per person for implementation of the ESA as designed by the Congress. Through this law, we can still appreciate Noshi and Shima and other bald eagles, the trumpeter swan and the Tennessee Coneflower. It has saved from extinction 99 percent of the wildlife and plant species under its care.\nInput to the rule-making must be received by September 24.

After investing hours in the job search, a prospective employer has called to invite you for an interview. You’ve prepared for this moment by researching the district’s website, reviewing sample interview questions, participating in a mock interview, and developing questions to ask the interviewer. However, when the caller indicates that you should plan to teach a ten-minute lesson, your anxiety level escalates. As you graciously thank the caller for the upcoming interview and opportunity to teach a lesson, your inner voice is screaming, “Where do I start?!”\nFirst of all, don’t panic. You’re a teacher. You can do this! Don’t let the audience and abbreviated time frame intimidate you. Here are some tips to help you prepare an A+ demonstration lesson:\nConsider the employer’s objectives. What are they looking for? The observers will be interested in several components, including: a) planning and preparation; b) classroom environment; c) knowledge of content/teaching strategies; and d) professionalism.\nPlanning and Preparation\n• Prior to the interview, ask who your “students” will be and how many you should anticipate. Will you teach “real students” or administrators, school board members, teachers, and/or parents posing as students? Additionally, be clear on the parameters—time, context, number of students, topic, etc.\n• This is not the time to stretch your creativity. If possible, choose a lesson that you have implemented before and revise it for the abbreviated time frame. Demonstrate your strengths.\n• Your plan should be thorough; provide a cover sheet with the rationale for your lesson.\n• Don’t try to cover too many objectives in your lesson. Keep it focused.\n• Rehearse the lesson—time it and have it critiqued.\n• Anticipate that you will have little set-up time. Keep your plan simple! Don’t assume that any resources are available. You may inquire about available technology, but don’t rely on it.\n• Consider taking the first minute to have students prepare name tags so that you can call on them by name. They can wear the name tag or write their name on a sheet of tri-fold paper, positioned upright on their desks.\n• Be prepared for the unexpected. There may be contrived discipline problems from administrators, for example.\nKnowledge & Teaching Strategies\n• Engage the students—this is key!\n• At the end of the lesson plan, describe “extensions,” i.e. “If I had more time, I would …”\n• Try to ask some higher-order thinking questions.\n• Plan for differentiated instruction—even if particular student needs aren’t revealed beforehand. In your lesson plan, indicate how you will accommodate various needs.\n• Demonstrate your resourcefulness by researching the district and local community website. If possible, “localize the lesson” by incorporating a school mascot, tradition or community landmark.\n• Check out professional association websites for resources; mention this in your lesson plan or cover sheet.\n• Along with your thank-you letter after the interview, include a self-reflection: “If I taught this lesson again, I would …”\nWith conscientious planning, your mini-lesson will truly show the prospective employer the teaching strengths you bring to the classroom. Therefore, prepare carefully, practice, and pursue this phase of the interview process with confidence.

METHODS: Participants were a subset of healthy girls (n = 108) enrolled in a longitudinal study of growth and development conducted at the General Clinical Research Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Participants were seen annually from before menarche until 4 years postmenarche for measures of body composition and serum levels of leptin, insulin, estradiol and FSH. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance. Standardized body composition and hormone levels were smoothed and plotted relative to menarche to visualize patterns of change. RESULTS: At menarche, the mean percentage body fat (%BF) of girls was 24.6% (SD = 4.1%) after menarche %BF was approximately 27%. Leptin levels averaged 8.4 ng/mL (SD = 4.6) at menarche and were approximately 12 ng/mL after menarche. Changes in leptin levels closely paralleled changes in %BF. Insulin, estradiol and FSH levels followed expected patterns relative to menarche. Leptin began rising closer to menarche than did insulin or the other sex hormones. Conclusion: We provide a visual presentation of hormonal and body composition changes occurring throughout the pubertal period in girls which may be useful in generating new hypotheses related to the timing of menarche.\nRights and Permissions\nCitation: Acta Paediatr. 2008 Oct;97(10):1454-9.

Many mental health disorders can lead to other chronic diseases and death. Stress-related disorders result from abnormal responses to acute or prolonged anxiety, and can include obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Mental health tends to be a low research priority in public health and whose impacts on human and societal well being are often underestimated. Mental health concerns are among some of the most potentially devastating in terms of human suffering, and some of the most difficult to quantify and address. Climate change affects the psychological well being of a person indirectly, and can be some of the most devastating effects in terms of human suffering, and the most difficult to address and quantify. The severity of mental health impacts following extreme weather disaster depends on the degree to which there is sufficient coping and support capacity during and after the event. Extreme weather and other climate related events can have a variety of psychological impacts on communities and individuals, from acute traumatic stress to chronic mental disorders, such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep difficulties, social avoidance, irritability, and drug or alcohol abuse. Chronic mental disorders can also lead to additional negative health effects.\n- Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding, create stress.

Some forms possess undeveloped mycelium.\n(ii) Chitin and glycan are the main constituents of the cell walk\n(iii) In unicellular forms the thallus is holocarpic (whole vegetative thallus transforms into one or more reproductive structures), whereas in filamentous forms it is eucarpic (some part of the vegetative thallus transforms into reproductive structure, while the rest remains vegetative).\nThe members of the class may be epibiotic (reproductive bodies present on the host’s surface) or endobiotic (live completely within the cells of the host) and monocentric (having only a single reproductive structure) or polycentric (having more than one reproductive structures).\n(iv) The thallus is coenocytic but sex organs are separated from vegetative part by a septum.\n(v) Asexual reproduction takes place with the help of zoospores which are posteriorly uniflagellate. The flagellum is of whiplash type. Zoosporangia are spherical or pear-shaped and inoperculate or operculate.\n(vi) Planogametes are also posteriorly uniflagellate.\n(vii) The zygote is formed by the fusion of planogametes and it is transformed into a resting spore which produces zoospores on germination.\nSignificance of Chytridiomycetes:\n(i) Some of the soil-inhabiting Chytridiomycetes attack the underground as well as aerial parts of the higher plants and cause diseases which are of great economic significance. For example, Synchytrium endobioticum causes black wart disease of potato; Urophlyctis alfalfae causes crown wart of alfalfa (Medicago); and Physoderma maydis causes brown spot disease of maize (Zea mays).\n(ii) Many chytrids indirectly harm humans and animals. They parasitize and destroy the phytoplanktonic forms of algae that form an important link in food chain of aquatic ecosystems.\n(iii) Various species of Allomyces and Blastocladiella have been found to be valuable research tools in studying morphogenesis.\n(iv) Species of Coelomomyces (C. anophelescia) are endoparasites on mosquito larvae and can be utilized for the biological control of the mosquito (Anopheles spp.), which is an important vector for the spread of malaria in human beings.\n(v) Members of Blastocladiales and Monoblepharidales generally appear to function as decomposers of detritus in the aquatic and soil ecosystems.", "label": "No"} {"text": "For coronaphobics and lockdown believers, the United States serve as the poster child for how not to handle the pandemic. The Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 dashboard (Fig. 1) shows cumulative “case” counts by US counties using proportional circles – a suitable cartographic choice, although the bright red colour on dark background is questionable, as discussed elsewhere. The ten-and-a-half million cumulative cases and nearly a quarter-million deaths as of November 10th, place the US at the top of the COVID-19 world rankings. But are these numbers actually big? And what can we gather from the spatial pattern of cases?\nWith 330,000,000 residents and counting (Worldometers.info), the 10 or so million known infections amount to just about 3% of the population. Of course, most of these 3% never noticed any symptoms or were only mildly ill. Nevertheless, according to OurWorldInData.org, the US have exhibited weekly excess mortality from late March to late September in the order of 10% up to 45%. The normal death rate in the US is less than 1 in 100 per year, resulting in under 3 million annual deaths or about 50,000 to 60,000 deaths per week (CDC,gov). Weekly mortality in the spring of 2020 was between 60,000 and close to 80,000, and in the summer of 2020 between 55,000 and below 65,000. Thus, while every human fatality is tragic, the population-level numbers are not out of proportion and we always have to view big numbers in conjunction with related numbers, which will be even bigger for as large a country as the US.\nIn addition to comparing COVID-19 data to reference variables such as total population or total mortality, we also need to consider historical benchmarks. It is relatively easy to find tables or charts online that include last year’s data, or the last 3-5 years for comparison, but it is quite enlightening to look a bit further back in time. I learned this from reading discussions about Sweden on Twitter, where user @HaraldofW, a self-proclaimed “Citizen Producing Graphs”, presented monthly deaths statistics for the no-lockdown country, which show that April 2020 was only the 15th-deadliest month since 1990 (Fig. 2), and no other month of this year made it into the top-20. Without denying that a serious respiratory disease is going around, this comparison certainly should put to rest the claim that Sars-CoV-2 is a once-in-a-century pandemic.\nI do not have the same monthly data for the US and it was difficult enough to find the annual death counts and total population numbers since 1980 shown in the chart in Fig. 3. Overall, annual mortality in the US (grey bars) has been increasing almost every year along with the significant growth in population (line chart). However, if you adjust the raw death count to the 2019 population (black bars), you can see that mortality was quite stable through the 1980s and 1990s, declined markedly through the 2000s, and has climbed again from a low in 2009 to the levels seen in the 1980s. Again, this is not intended to trivialize fatalities from COVID-19, from influenza, or from any other cause-of-death, yet it means that we need to extend our focus beyond the immediate context to gain a more balanced, proportionate perspective on the current pandemic. Once we add the final 2020 mortality into the graph, or the monthly and/or state-specific data to the corresponding timelines, we will be able to determine whether, and by how much, 2020 was different than previous years that we have considered “normal” by all accounts.\nOurworldInData.org also notes that the total excess deaths of 275,000 is only partially explained by the confirmed COVID-19 deaths; while they insinuate on some of their maps and charts that the death toll of COVID-19 may be higher than what is known, I think it is more likely that we are seeing the impact of lockdowns. Just today, more anecdotal evidence for this concern came from Ontario, Canada, with a 40% increase in fatal opioid overdoses during the pandemic, from Berlin, Germany, with a 60-fold increase of emergency calls for attempted strangling/hanging from single-digit numbers in 2018 and 2019 to almost 300 so far in 2020, and from Arizona, where a school superintendent raises concerns about rising under-age suicides. The latest web site to collect news reports about the collateral damage from lockdowns is http://thepriceofpanic.com/. For a more systematic overview of possible deaths from the ongoing crisis management, I refer to Dr. John Ioannidis’ paper on “Global perspective of COVID‐19 epidemiology for a full‐cycle pandemic”. The table from that paper reproduced in Fig. 4 is particularly concerning with respect to the medium- and long-term horizon for excess deaths, which will make it difficult to assess the true cost of lockdowns.\nAnother Twitter discovery brings me to my second main point for this post: the division(s) between the American states with respect to Sars-CoV-2 spread, impact, and response measures. The anonymous account @EthicalSkeptic and the associated blog at https://theethicalskeptic.com/ analyzes COVID-19 data from a number of unusual perspectives. For one of the recurring graphs, this analyst separates the states into hot, southern states and cooler northern states to reflect possible differences in seasonality of Sars-CoV-2. For example, the @EthicalSkeptic’s November 5th update shows the peak of daily cases in the northern states in mid-April compared to the much later peak in the south in mid-July, while we are normally presented a single composite curve that suggests two pandemic waves have already happened in the US. What follows is my attempt at replicating the north-south comparison along with examining another distinction between coastal and interior states.\nBased on a separation of 36 northern states (about 214 million people, including Washington DC) and 15 southern states (about 115 million people), detected COVID-19 “cases” (i.e. PCR test-positives) in the northern US (green) form two waves with peaks in April and July and are currently (end of October) rising far above those peaks (see Fig. 5). Note that I don’t relate these counts to issues with the testing strategy and test reliability discussed in other posts! The southern states (orange) had their first peak in July and currently only show a modest increase. The COVID-19 “death” counts (i.e. fatalities from any cause but with a positive PCR test result) present two distinct peaks for the two groups of states. This shows the current disconnect between case detections and fatal outcomes, and overall, a country as large as the US in terms of population and geography should probably not be analyzed as a unit nor be subject to nation-wide pandemic response policies.\nAnother experiment led me to the second classification above. I was interested in checking whether there was a geographic pattern in the recency of Sars-CoV-2 spread across the US. For that, I normalized the daily new “cases” for each state by that state’s maximum daily count. Then, I multiplied the normalized values by an index for each day, ranging from 1 for January 22nd to 292 for November 8th. The sum of these products will be larger the more (relative) “cases” occur late within the time frame. The result (see Fig. 6) seemed to suggest that coastal states (broadly defined!) tend to have later peaks than interior states, thus the second classification into 29 coastal states (226 million people) and 22 interior states (102 million people). However, in looking at the blue-brown graphs in Fig. 5, it appears that there is a greater difference in total numbers than in seasonality. Both groups already had two peaks in cases and deaths, with the coastal states displaying much higher counts and the interior states currently “catching up” in terms of “cases”. This could be due to including New York with its large but early peak in the coastal group. All this again points to the need for more localized analyses and response measures.\nIn fact, the pandemic response in the US is decentralized with different state governments taking rather distinct routes. One tool for examining these differences quantitatively is the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT). Researchers at Oxford University created an index to measure the stringency of lockdowns across the globe and within the UK and US. The stringency index is one of several indices documented at https://github.com/OxCGRT/covid-policy-tracker. It combines eight sub-indices representing “containment and closure policies” (e.g., scope of school closures, cancellation of public events, etc.) and one sub-index representing “health system policies” (H1 – presence and extent of public information campaign). On the maps in Fig. 7, I display the daily average stringency index using the thickness of “prison bars” on top of case and death rates per million state population.\nOverall, the US presents a patchwork of low-to-high stringency combined with different levels of “cases” and “deaths”. For example, Maine, New York, and New Mexico have the highest average stringency index values combined with case rates in the lower half but highly variable death rates, including New York with the second-highest death rate in the US (as of November 8th, 2020). As another example, Oklahoma and Utah seem to have gotten away with relatively lax government responses and low death rates, yet their case rates are in the medium range. Any conclusions from these maps need to be drawn with great caution as we cannot determine causality between the two aggregated variables, both as a general rule and here specifically due to the temporal component. For example, in the corona believers’ favourite scenario of a strict lockdown and a flat curve, did government response actually come first or was the epidemic curve already on the decline?\nThe scatterplots in Fig. 8 illustrate the same data numerically rather than geographically. I also asked Excel to plot a trendline based on the data points. The first graph shows that greater stringency (averaged over the duration of the pandemic) has a marked correlation with lower case rates. However, the second graph illustrates that greater stringency does is not associated with lower death rates; in fact, states with stricter lockdowns have a slight tendency to have higher death rates!\nFor the reasons already noted, it would be premature to draw definite conclusions from these maps and graphs. Statistical and geospatial analyses based on aggregate data can demonstrate correlations between variables, and spatial associations between high or low values within and between variables, but not causality. They can however suggest the direction of additional research to detect the underlying causes of a phenomenon such as infectious disease spread. The data that I used here certainly raise questions about the magnitude of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic in historical context, the geographic and seasonal patterns of the epidemic curve, and the proportionality of government response measures. In addition, all population-level COVID-19 data rely on the PCR test for the presence of Sars-CoV-2 in healthy and ill individuals, a test that is increasingly scrutinized worldwide for what it can actually tell us, and what it cannot. While these questions are further studied, we should use long-established public health practices and common sense to restore our free, democratic societies.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The Economist looks at new evidence that certain types of pesticides may be the cause of recent dramatic declines in bee numbers around the world:\nIn the winter of 2006 beekeepers in America noticed something odd—lots of their hives were dying for no obvious reason.

Mystified scientists coined the label “colony collapse disorder” (CCD) to describe what was happening. Since then, much brow-sweat has been expended trying to work out just what CCD really is.\nDying bees are a problem, and not just for apiarists. Bees pollinate many of the world’s crops—a service estimated to be worth $15 billion a year in America alone. And there is no shortage of theories to explain the insects’ decline. Climate change, habitat destruction, a paralysing virus, fungal infection and even a plague of parasitic mites have all been proposed.

Kohberger, Ph.D. VP Planning and Project Management Licensing a New Vaccine on the Basis of Surrogate Endpoints: A Practical Example 19 September, 2003\n2 Correlates and Surrogates? Nomenclature: In the relatively small universe of vaccine researchers, statisticians have tried to to emphasize the difference between a surrogate and a correlate. But this effort has not always been successful. Not clear if vaccines will ever have, in the strict definition, a surrogate of efficacy Correlates and surrogates often used interchangeably\n3 Meningococcal C Conjugate Vaccine: U.K. Timeline 1994: discussions began within the U.K. Department of Health. Included public health, academic, regulatory, and manufacturers representatives 1995: assay standardized (to U.K. standards) and trials began 1998: Trials completed and reported 1999: Vaccine licensed on basis of surrogate endpoints 2002: Clinical efficacy reported 2003: Protective levels reported\n4 What Was the Efficacy Surrogate? Primary - hSBA Serum Bactericidal Antibody Assay using human complement a measure of the ability of the antibody to kill the organism. Secondary - avidity binding ability of antibodies considered by many to be a measure of the memory of the antibodies elicited by the vaccine memory: ability of immune system to recognize and respond to an organism when antibody levels in serum are essentially zero\n5 Why Was It Chosen? Thought to be fastest route to licensure meningococcal C disease serious problem in U.K - estimated in 1999 there would be 1,500 cases and 150 deaths clinical trial in U.K. would be time consuming and expensive - would any manufacturer consider such a trial for U.K. licensure? - incidence rates - population - U.K. pricing policies. Difficult to justify expense considering UK reimbursement policies. needed information for different age groups on schedule and number of doses - infants, toddlers, school age\n6 Why Was It Chosen? Vaccinologists and immunologists considered hSBA to have validity as efficacy surrogate 1969 study demonstrated with naturally acquired antibody hSBA levels correlated with protection In military recruits 3/54 cases had hSBA > 4 while 444/540 non-cases had hSBA > 4. A value of 4 in hSBA then considered as a protective level. Experience with H. influenza vaccine demonstrated immunogenicity measurements correlated with clinical efficacy. Vaccine highly effective worldwide Both IgG (ELISA) and OPA related to protection. A memory response has been clinically demonstrated MnC a similar vaccine in that a polysaccaride is conjugated to a carrier\n7 How was the Surrogate Chosen? Consultative Group PHLS - Public Health Laboratory Surveillance NIBSC - National Institute of Biological Standards and Control CAMR - Center for Applied Microbiology and Research ICH - Institute for Child Health MCA - Medicines Control Agency Manufacturers: Wyeth, Chiron, NAVI (Baxter) Agreements Reached MCA would license vaccine on the basis of immunology - sufficient proportion of subjects obtain hSBA > 4 - safety demonstration - follow-up after licensure for efficacy PHLS primary responsibility for clinical trials, immunogenicity evaluation, and follow-up\n8 Trial Implementation PHLS primary responsibility for clinical trials and immunogenicity evaluation assay development trial design - joint with manufacturers trial implementation - joint with manufactures - site selection, monitoring, data management routine serology evaluation trial reporting - joint with manufacturers License submission - manufacturers including CMC and Clinical sections Cost Sharing: Department of Health and manufacturers\n9 Results: Licensed in 1999 Meningococcal C disease (0-19 years of age): 1999 incidence - 700 2001 incidence - 100 reduction = 87% Meningococcal C disease deaths (0-19 years of age): 1999 incidence - 109 2001 incidence - 51 reduction = 53% Vaccination coverage >80% (age dependent - infants vs catch-up)\n10 Results: Licensed in 1999 Disease incidence compared temporally and with meningococcal B disease. Reduction determined to be real Approximately 90% Vaccine Efficacy Screening Method (Farrrington) Disease Incidence Through 2003 remains low Success !\n11 Other Issues Serologic Assay WHO coordinated consultation on standardization of hSBA assay. Meetings 1995-1996 (during the trial) because of extensive experience, led by U.K. included worldwide participants agreement reached and published in 1997 With an increasing number of meningococcal assays being done, became clear there was a problem with human complement variability in key characteristics reliable and sufficient source of supply baby rabbit complement proposed as alternative\n12 Other Issues Serologic Assay WHO coordinated consultation on standardization of rSBA assay, comparison with hSBA, value of protective level with hSBA Meetings 2000-2001 Agreement on assay procedures Disagreement on protective level General consensus that with rSBA 128 predicted protection. Could not agree on titers between 8 - 128 Note that original basis of hSBA (done in 1969) as surrogate never had such precision.\n13 Other Issues Validation of Protective Level (2003) Population based correlates ratio of % vax subj. > protective level / % control subj. > protective level should be similar to the clinical efficacy relative risk individual correlates requires all subjects to have serology done after vaccination. Or at least a sufficient (and random) sample of cases and non- cases Results: Conclusion 4 overestimates, 16 underestimates VE and 8 is mostly likely the protective level\n14 Lessons Learned Compelling Need for Product Licensure on the Basis of Surrogates disease incidence or inability to do clinical efficacy trials safety must be demonstrated risk for efficacy is assumed. In this case primarily by regulators (UK Department of Health), but also manufacturers (because this is UK, a lesser extent) Clear understanding and agreement on surrogate: immunologic assay(s) worldwide regulators, academics, and manufacturers WHO Vaccine Division is a useful coordinating group\n15 Lessons Learned Efficacy evaluation after field use critical Obtaining agreement on immunological measurements is time and effort consuming WHO consultative meetings lasted over two years with significant work done by all parties Value lies in cost and the speed in time to market of a product.\n16 References Andrews N, et al.

The SAT Test serves a similar purpose as the ACT Test. Standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT are used in the admissions process along with other factors such as high school grades, class rank, community service, recommendations and extracurricular activities. The intent of the SAT is to measure a student's capabilities in the core areas of reading, writing and mathematics. SAT Test Scores range from 200 to 800 for each of the sections, for a total potential score of 2400. Students typically take the test in the spring of their junior year and/or the fall of their senior year. There are seven SAT Test Dates for the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Territories.\nSAT Test Format\nThe main sections of the SAT are: critical reading, writing and math. The majority of the questions are multiple choice although there are also \"grid-in\" questions in the math area. There is also an essay in the writing section. The SAT Test is made up of 10 sections. The first section is a 25 minute essay. Sections 2 through 7 are 25-minute sections. Sections 8 and 9 are 20 minute sections and section 10 is a 10 minute multiple choice writing section. The table below summarizes the sections.\n||Number of Questions\n|SAT Critical Reading||70 minutes (Two 25 minute sections and one 20 minute section)||67 questions (19 sentence completion and 48 passage-based reading questions)||Short and long reading passages. Measures sentence completions and passage-based reading.|\n|SAT Math||70 minutes (Two 25 minute sections and one 20 minute section)||54 questions (44 multiple choice and 10 response questions)||Covers basic mathematical skills that are typical for a student at the end of junior year. You will be tested on: number and operations; algebra and functions; geometry and measurement; and data analysis, statistics, and probability.|\n|SAT Writing||60 minutes (two 25 minute sections and one 10 minute section)||40 questions||One essay and 49 multiple choice questions (25 on improving sentences, 18 on identifying sentence errors, and 6 on improving paragraphs)|\nTry our free SAT practice tests to help you prepare.\nSAT Test Registration\nThe SAT test is administered on Saturdays and is offered seven times per year (November, December, January, March, May, and June). Most high school students take the SAT for the first time during the spring of their junior year. Many students will also take the test a second time during the fall of their junior year.\nThe easiest way to register for the SAT is online by going to http://sat.collegeboard.org/register.\nSAT Registration Fees\nThere are a myriad of fees associated with your SAT registration. The basic SAT registration fee is $50. The fees for the subject tests vary based on how many tests you take, and the type of test it is. In general, the SAT subject test fees are a one time registration fee of $23 per registration plus an additional fee of either $12 for non-language tests or $23 for a language test. In addition to the standard registration fees, there are additional fees charged for phone registrations, changes to test types, locations or dates, late registrations, and waitlisting. There are also fees associated with sending your scores to schools or requesting more information about the specific questions and answers on your test. All of the test and registration fees are non-refundable.\nSAT Test Scores\nThere are three main sections on the SAT: mathematics, critical reading, and writing. Each of these sections is scored on a scale from 200-800. Your total potential score on the SAT is 2400. In addition to these scores, you will also receive two subscores on the writing component: an essay score (ranging from 2 to 12) and a multiple-choice score (ranging from 20 to 80). Your main scores on the SAT are derived by giving you 1 point for a correct answer and subtracting 1/4 point for an incorrect answer. Any questions that you skip are not counted towards your score. This raw score is then converted into a scaled score (in the range of 200-800) by a statistical process referred to as \"equating\". To determine how well you did on the SAT you can compare your scores to others who have taken the test (by looking at your percentile rank). You should also compare your scores to the scores of students that attend your target colleges.

Only 80% of those entering the labour market want to work. The labour shortage remains structural. Unfortunately, only an announced economic contraction can relieve the pressure in the near future.\nThere are no vacancies for pharmacists either. We are looking in vain for another colleague to join us for a whole career. Our duties are becoming more extensive and, for example, we recently had to deal with corona vaccinations and, later this year, combined influenza vaccinations. The government wants to increase the crucial vaccination rate by lowering the threshold.\nInfluenza in humans, is still a serious disease, causing significant economic damage each year and one million deaths worldwide. At the end of last year, two months earlier than usual, the flu virus became active. This is being watched with suspicion as the season’s peak is still to come.\nTraditionally, the influenza virus is monitored in Southeast Asia (northern hemisphere) to find out which variants (AB and HN strains) are circulating there. This helps us to have the appropriate vaccines available in the autumn. Predicting is always good but never perfect. This is why the effectiveness of the flu vaccine is a little lower (+/- 60%) than that of the Corona vaccine (+/- 90%). However, there has been an increase in effectiveness against influenza due to recent vaccines with 4 different strains. Their effectiveness is, therefore more than sufficient for epidemic control if vaccination coverage is high enough (80% or more).\nSo the global recommendation is increasingly explicit and generic:\n\"Get vaccinated\" is also for those who do not belong to a risk group (a healthy middle-aged person has a one in three chance of developing complications due to a risk factor such as smoking or drinking alcohol). This is why pharmacists are involved. They can help keep the threshold low and thus increase vaccination rates.\nThe origin of the flu\nThe reservoir of this influenza virus is waterfowl, to which it is highly contagious and dangerous. It then spreads to all birds, for which it can also be highly contagious and fatal.\nReassortment = the exchange of genetic material from one species to another.\nSometimes the virus is transmitted to pigs, which (depending on the variant) may or may not easily infect each other. Exceptionally, it can be transmitted from pigs to humans and, depending on the variant, from human to human…\nThere are several components to this influenza virus.\nInfluenza A has two key features on its surface: Haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) provide the adhesion to the cell, which allows the virus to enter the cell.\nIf we can block this with antibodies , it is harder for the virus to attach. The neutralised virus in the blood can be eaten by special cells (phagocytosis).\nSixteen H traits and nine N traits provide all possible combinations with their familiar names (H 1 N1 or H3 N1...).\nDue to constant mutation (viruses have been doing the same thing for 200 million years), there exist:\n- Antigenic drift: these are minor changes = \"facelifts\" to the traits (tacks). They require slight changes to the vaccine every year to protect us from an annual epidemic.\n- Sometimes, antigen shift occurs. This is a significant change = \"completely new model\". Big, complex parts of the virus are changing by reassortment of genetic material (between pigs and humans, for example), for which no background immunity exists, so a whole new vaccine is needed, but before that, a global pandemic, because it takes a long time to develop a whole new vaccine.\nA \"perfect viral storm\" could be on the horizon if influenza and corona both surprise us with mutations to which we have no immunity(*).\nThe flu virus undergoes such a shift about four times every century.\nIn 1918 Spanish flu (H1N1): caused more casualties than WWI.\nIn 1957 Asian flu (H2N2).\nIn 1968 HongKong flu (H3N2).\nInfluenza in animals\nThe daily “De Tijd” wrote last week: \"Avian flu is hitting harder than ever”.\nFortunately, our pigeons are not at high risk in this chain of infection. (**)\nThey can be infected with the avian influenza virus but do not usually become ill (**).\nIn addition, they do not usually spread the virus to others.\nOur National Pigeon Fanciers' Association is closely monitoring the situation where the measures have only caught the pigeons in the restricted zones (blast zone, e.g. 3 to 10 km around a hotspot).\nOtherwise, no measures apply outside the restricted areas.\nWe may yet\n• participate in competitions;\n• transport your pigeons;\n• release your pigeons outside the loft.\n👉🏻 Racing pigeons are hardened due to the rigour selection of the sport, where only those with robust immune systems survive, despite the use of antibiotics, which tend to weaken them.\nThis touches on the basis of the Comed method and is all the more reason to focus on antibiotic-free care, which only increases their resistance to bird flu and similar diseases. Our desire is to continue our sport in spite of all the virus circulations and, of course, to perform more purely with pigeons as sharp as possible.\nThere were fears of an H1N1 pandemic in the United States in 2009. There were fears of a global tsunami with major socio-economic consequences.\nThe virus was a unique combination of influenza A virus genes never before identified in animals or humans. This combination of viruses and genes was closely related to the North American H1N1 pig lineage and to the H1N1 influenza viruses of the Eurasian pig strain. For this reason, initial reports suggested that it was a swine flu virus. However, no exposure to pigs was found when the first human cases were investigated. It soon became clear that this new virus was circulating in humans and not in the pig herds of the USA. Worldwide, the death toll is estimated at between 150,000 and 600,000.\nWe experimentally infected three different pigeon species (meat, city and race) with two different doses of H7N9 avian influenza virus A/Chicken/China/2013 by intranasal and intraocular inoculation (IN + IO) or intravenous injection (IV) to determine the susceptibility of pigeons to the newly emerged avian influenza virus subtype H7N9. In addition, the potential for transmission of H7N9 to pigeons by direct close contact with experimentally infected pigeons and chickens was evaluated. The results showed that none of the experimentally infected pigeons showed clinical signs, irrespective of the route and dose of infection. Of the 12 racing pigeons that were randomly selected and had necropsy, none of them had coarse lesions. Consistent with this finding, the virus was not isolated from all pigeons. No detectable levels of H7-specific antibodies were found in any of the pigeons. In contrast, conjunctivitis was present in 11 out of 31 chickens infected with H7N9 by inoculation with IN + IO or by contact with chickens infected with IN + IO. The virus was isolated from all of the 31 chickens, and antibodies specific to H7 were detected in these chickens. However, no clinical signs were observed in any of the IV-infected chickens or chickens in direct contact with IV-infected chickens. There has been no isolation of virus from these chickens and no detection of H7-specific antibodies. Overall, our conclusion is that at the doses used, pigeons have little or no susceptibility to the H7N9 virus and are unlikely to be a reservoir for the virus.\nHowever, the virus is a cause of conjunctivitis in chickens and can be transmitted to susceptible hosts by direct contact.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The Progressive Muscle Relaxation technique (PMR) serves as an effective antidote for stress. Join Ascellus Clinical Psychologist Bunny Falk, R.N., Psy.D., for an explanation and exploration of this technique, its benefits and exercises that teach you how to alleviate stress.\nWhat is the Progressive Muscle Relaxation technique?\nDeveloped by Dr. Edmond Jacobson in 1929, PMR reduces muscle tension through intervals of muscle-tensing activities, stress-releasing phases and mental recognition in the difference in sensation between tense and relaxed. Our bodies respond to stress-provoking thoughts and events by tensing muscles, thereby increasing our subjective experience of stress. PMR provides relief because stress response and relaxation are incompatible and cannot occur at the same time. By purposefully switching between tension and flexion the body releases the muscles.\nBenefits of using this technique\nPMR can be done almost anywhere, at any time and is an easy technique to help you care for yourself during stressful times. It is a valuable strategy for reducing tension and managing\n- Tension headaches\n- Tender shoulder and neck muscle pain\n- Achiness that accompanies muscle tension\nThe more often PMR is practiced, especially when you’re not feeling stressed, the better the response will be when you are feeling stressed.\n*Remember, stress response and relaxation are concurrently incompatible.\nThroughout this exercise, you’ll tense different muscle groups for five to seven seconds and then relax them for 20-30 seconds before moving on to the next group of muscles.\nWhile you un-tense each muscle group, it’s helpful to say to yourself, “Let go of the tension” or “I’m feeling calm and rested.” Notice the difference as your body feels quickly releases the tension in each muscle group.\nYou can practice PMR either sitting or lying down. Begin by taking a slow, deep breath in through your nose, and then slowly exhale through your mouth. Do this three times.\nNow, perform the exercises as follows:\n- Curl your fists tightly, tighten your biceps and forearms. Hold for 5-7 seconds. Let go and relax for 20-30 seconds.\n- Wrinkle your forehead and put your head back. Now, roll your head slowly clockwise in a complete circle and then in reverse. Force your face into a frown, squint your eyes tightly, purse your lips, hunch your shoulders. Hold. Let go and relax.\n- Take a deep breath, arch your back and expand your chest. Hold your breath to the count of three. Exhale. Relax.\n- Take a deep breath and push out your stomach. Hold the breath and slowly count to 3. Let it go and relax.\n- Flex your feet and toes by pointing your toes toward your shins, now tighten your shins. Hold. Let go and relax.\n- Curl your toes and tighten your calves, thighs and butt. Hold. Let go and relax.\n- Assess your body for any residual tension. If you feel any, repeat the tense-and-relax exercise for that muscle group.\nFor more small group exercises and practice in clear communication, be sure to read more in our Practice Exercises blog series and learn more about cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that change outcomes.\nBunny Falk,.

Loredana Lunadei, PhD\nEstrogen is one of the most important feminine hormones that affects life in general. It is responsible for women’s sexual characteristics, like the development of breasts and the menstrual cycle, and it is the hormone that determines when adolescence begins, by increasing in a female’s eggs.\nEstrogen production in the woman’s body stays within a certain range for up to 30 years, and when these levels start to decrease, the hypophysis starts to help produce hormones that stimulate the ovaries, like luteinizant or the FSH hormone. As these hormones are activated, and estrogen levels decrease, certain symptoms arise, like hot flashes or night sweats. Men also use FSH and LH hormones to create sperm, as well as to stimulate testosterone production, which means that they too can experience these same symptoms.\nEstrogen also influences and participates in other bodily functions, like the tightness of skin, they help keep bones strong and stable, they protect against arteriosclerosis, and they influence blood vessel health. That’s why whenever estrogen levels are low, there is a greater risk of suffering from osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis.\nWhen levels are low, however, one options that a lot of doctors and women suggest is to start hormone treatments to avoid certain consequences, but it’s very important that you contemplate the effects this may have before starting certain treatments with estrogen. The body could start experiencing undesirable side effects, as this in some ways distorts the body’s natural process, which is that of regulating estrogen levels. Uncontrolled or imbalanced increases in estrogen levels could cause side effects like cancer, tumors, myomas, endometrium problems, headaches, unusual bleeding, etc.\nHigh estrogen levels at a certain age could cause symptoms like sudden and severe vomiting, dizziness or weakness, sudden complete or partial vision loss or double vision, numbness or weakness in a leg or arm, pain or pressure in the chest, bloody cough, difficulty thinking clearly, remembering or learning, lumps or other changes in the breasts, nipple secretions, as well as pain, sensitivity or redness in the legs.\nLow Estrogen levels\nEstrogen levels are considered to be low according to age, but are generally between 10 to 20 pg/ml, which could be caused by anorexia, menopause, or other conditions. High resistance training could also reduce estrogen levels. Symptoms of low estrogen levels include fatigue, extreme exhaustion, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and difficulty concentrating.\nHigh Estrogen Levels\nEstrogen levels are considered to by high according to age as well, but the approximate range is somewhere around 200 pg/ml. Estrogen levels increase and throw the body off balance when the individual is obese, has cardiovascular and digestive problems, as well as stress, anxiety, etc. Symptoms could include fatigue, depression, constant mood changes, insomnia, and any of the aforementioned symptoms as well.\nIf you truly want to cure your body and put it in permanently optimal conditions, you need to respect its natural processes. Most of all, do not try to avoid the problem with chemical treatments, but rather work with your body using certain foods and natural alternatives like foods rich in isoflavones, including soy isoflavones, raw vegetables, foods rich in enzymes, drinking juices ,etc. You also should consider the medicinal effect that re-evaluating your life has. Focusing on new ways of seeing women’s experiences, as well as having a fluid, joyful attitude that comes with learning to understand your emotions.\nMORE IN THE JOY OF WELLNESSGastrointestinal Hemorrhage (Defecating or Vomiting blood)\nGrapefruit and estrogen\nGrapefruit is a citrus fruit that looks similar to an orange, but has a different color, taste, and properties. It has amazing weight-loss properties, and also helps cleanse the body, sweeping out fats and harmful cholesterol. For a lot of women, this makes grapefruit a perfect friend. The pulp in grapefruit also contains certain acids that should be reconsidered by women older than 40 years of age.\nGrapefruit pulp increases estrogen levels, and considering everything previously mentioned, this could be undesirable because of the risk the poses for contracting certain cancers and bodily imbalances in women. We should point out, however, that just the pulp is what causes these effects. Grapefruit seeds, on the other hand, have very positive health effects.\nSo it’s best to substitute grapefruit with other foods that help maintain good women’s health, like pineapple, which is a wonderful cleanser and helps to balance the body’s organs and systems. It’s also a good idea to include sprouts, avocado, and primrose oil in your diet, the latter of which is great for helping stabilize women’s hormones naturally.\nImportant note: If you have very high estrogen levels, it is important that you practice meditation and relax. The body is greatly weakened under stress, when you don’t accept how you are, or if you don’t like your body.\nMORE IN THE JOY OF WELLNESSFoods to fight constipation\nAbout the author", "label": "No"} {"text": "Pterostilbene: A Cholesterol and Blood Sugar Improving Anti-Cancer Nutrient\nByron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist\nPterostilbene, like its cousin resveratrol, is gaining world-wide attention for its rather dramatic ability to improve human health, protect against the diseases of aging, and extend lifespan1.\nPterostilbene is found in small amounts in blueberries and grapes, but the most cost effective source is from the bark and heartwood of a tree that grows in India and Sri Lanka (Pterocarpus marsupium\nor Indian Kino Tree).\nPterostilbene for Blood Sugar and Lipid Metabolism\nExtracts ofPterocarpus marsupium have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for several thousand years for the treatment of diabetes. Modern day animal research on Pterocarpus marsupium\nhelps support its traditional folk medicine use, showing it can:\nIn today’s marketplace extracts of Pterocarpus marsupium can be standardized for its most important biologically active compound, pterostilbene6 (pronounced “tero-STILL-bean”). This nutrient is a type of polyphenol known as a stilbenoid, as is resveratrol. Stilbenoids are very small molecules that are readily absorbed, wherein they participate in antioxidant systems, anti-inflammatory systems (lowering NF-kappaB and unfriendly nitric oxide8), and can have profound regulatory impact on multiple gene signals. Pterostilbene has two methoxy and one hydroxyl group, whereas resveratrol has three hydroxyl groups. These small differences in an otherwise identical structure enable quite different function. For one thing this enables pterostilbene to be absorbed into cells easier and makes it slower to be cleared out of the body, compared to resveratrol. Pterostilbene excels as an antioxidant between cells (such as inflammatory tissue damage9) whereas reseveratrol excels at protecting cells in the blood. Resveratrol specializes in activating the longevity gene SIRT1, whereas pterostilbene has a profound effect on the fat/lipid metabolizing gene PPAR (both nutrients activate many genes). Stilbenoids are synthesized by plants in response to infectious attack, making them excellent immune support nutrients. The unique structure of pterostilbene makes it 5-10 times as potent an anti-fungal as resveratrol.\nWhen pterostilbene enters a cell, it easily binds to the receptors for PPAR activation10, enabling improved metabolism of triglycerides, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Hamster studies show that PPAR activation with pterostilbene11 lowered LDL cholesterol by 29%, lowered blood sugar by 14%, and boosted protective HDL cholesterol by 7%.\nThe major problem of high blood sugar is that it caramelizes healthy body structure by forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs), thereby speeding the decline of the kidneys, heart, eyes, and all things flexible. A new study shows that pterostilbene can directly block the formation of AGEs12. Another study showed that pterostilbene lowered hemoglobin A1C13 in diabetic rats (a marker that predicts AGEs formation). And yet another study showed that this versatile nutrient prevented damage to the liver and kidneys14 of diabetic rats.\nThe abnormal proliferation of cells within the walls of arteries takes place during the plaque formation process. An animal study shows that pterostilbene15 inhibited this undesirable process. The researchers concluded that “pterostilbene may be a potential anti-proliferative agent for the treatment of atherosclerosis.”\nThe metabolic science on pterostilbene along with its traditional folk use, warrant its inclusion along with other synergistic nutrients to support healthy metabolism of lipids and blood sugar.\nPterostilbene as an Anti-Cancer Nutrient\nOne of the great problems of being overweight is that it significantly boosts the risk for cancer including aggressive breast and prostate cancer. Not only does pterostilbene help support the return of normal metabolism, it is one of the most heavily researched anti-cancer compounds.\nAs a small molecule, pterostilbene has no problem gaining access into cancer cells. It appears to be a cancer cell’s worst nightmare. It damages a cancer cell’s membrane and DNA and induces death signals causing self-destruction. This was recently shown with studies of both breast and prostate cancer cells16. In another recent breast cancer cell study, pterostilbene caused the energy-producing system within the cancer cell to malfunction and generate massive amounts of free radicals instead of energy, resulting in breast cancer cell death17. Similar findings have now been demonstrated with pancreatic cancer cells18. Pterostilbene has also been shown to inhibit colon cancer19, lung cancer20, liver cancer21, and skin cancer22.\nIn a recent study with bladder cancer cells23 pterostilbene was shown for the first time to activate the autophagy process wherein a cell is commanded to eat itself, thereby inducing cell death. In normal health, autophagy is used to help keep a cell clean, which prevents cancer. It is amazing, that the intelligence to help healthy cells and help kill cancer cells exists, by important mechanisms like autophagy.\nPterostilbene is a nutrient you are sure to hear more about. It works by multiple mechanisms at the gene level to promote metabolic health and the risk of cancer.\nMore Health News\nLoading content...View All Health News Archives\nPopular Related News:\nAbout Wellness Resources:", "label": "No"} {"text": "Agner Fog: Cultural selection © 1999\n7. Digression: Social organization among baboons\nTwo markedly different patterns of social organization have been observed among baboons. The hamadryas baboon (papio hamadryas) living on the dry steppes of Africa is organized into groups comprising a single dominant male with a harem consisting of two or more females and their young. The most important social relations are between the harem leader and the adult females. The surplus of adult males, having no harem, live in all-male groups. The groups are joined into larger troops which often sleep together.\nThe closely related savanna baboons (papio cynocephalus) live in bigger groups and are rather promiscuous. The females have more influence than the males, and the most important social relations are female-female alliances (Byrne et.al. 1989).\nRecent studies have shown that the chacma baboon (papio cynocephalus ursinus), which is a subspecies of the savanna baboon, will approach the social organization pattern of the hamadryas baboon under certain living conditions, although its normal pattern is the same as for the savanna baboon (Byrne et.al. 1987). One group has even been observed to change from the mating pattern of savanna baboons to the harem pattern in a few years as a result of the presence of a leopard (Anderson 1989). The change in organizational pattern took place in less than one generation, so it is impossible that genetic changes can have played any part. If we assume that this change in organizational pattern is adaptive, then it must have been controlled by vicarious social, psychological or intellectual mechanisms as a reaction to the changed ecological conditions, e.g. the risk of being eaten by a leopard.\nThe most probable reason why savanna baboons assemble into big troops is that it is the best defense against predators. The hamadryas baboons live on the dry steppe where food is sparse so the baboons have to forage in smaller groups. The chacma baboons live in the mountains where food becomes more and more scarce the higher up you go, and accordingly the social organization resemble the hamadryas pattern more and more the higher the altitude (Byrne et.al 1987, 1989; Wrangham 1987).\nIt may seem illogical, then, that a group of chacma baboons switched to a pattern resembling the organizational form of the hamadryas baboons owing to the presence of a leopard, as observed by Anderson (1989). The explanation may be that the monkeys have to stay together in larger troops during the summer in order to protect themselves against the predator. This makes foraging ineffective and the competition within the troop is sharpened. A female has no chances of feeding her young in this situation unless she allies herself with a strong male. This promotes the splitting of the social organization and mating pattern into harem groups, and the competition within the troop becomes a competition between harem groups.\nThe reproduction of the baboons is limited first and foremost by the scarcity of food on the dry steppe as well as on the savanna. Many young die from starvation or malnutrition, and the competition for food therefore plays a big role for the parents who have to feed their young. There is also a fierce competition between the males for access to mate with the females. These conflicts are regulated by a strict hierarchy of dominance and by the formation of alliances. The difference between the two organizational patterns with respect to competition is that with the hamadryas baboons there is competition between single-male harem groups, whereas the savanna baboons compete primarily within their troop because they are not divided into small groups. In other words, the hamadryas organization is dominated by group-external conflicts, whereas the savanna pattern is dominated by group-internal conflicts. This is the background for why I compare these two patterns with cultural r- and k-selection.\nWasser and Starling (1986) have found a considerable amount of competition between the females among the savanna baboons, which is seen in the females attempting to suppress each other's reproduction. Not surprisingly, there is also a high degree of rivalry between the males, and it is not unusual for males to kill young that are not their own in order to increase their own chances of reproducing. Females often mate with all available males during a single period of heat in order to avoid this. The males determine their paternity from the time of mating (Busse 1985), and the females create uncertainty about the paternity by mating with multiple males, thereby minimizing the possibility of the males killing their young.\nUnlike this savanna pattern, there are seldom any conflicts between females among baboons living by the hamadryas pattern, and neither are any alliances between females seen (Byrne et.al. 1989). The dominant male decides everything and, due to the small size of the group, internal conflicts are rare. But when one hamadryas group comes near another then a tense situation arises. The dominant male spends a lot of energy on herding his females away from rival males from the other group (Byrne 1987).\nIn a hamadryas group there is a single male sitting on top of a strict hierarchy deciding everything and being able to suppress most conflicts within the group. Not so for the savanna baboons where decision processes are less simple and where females have at least as much say as the males. The similarity of these two patterns with regal and kalyptic human cultures, respectively, becomes particularly striking when we look at the sexual behavior. Mating is very rule-governed by the hamadryas baboon, and even though the male is polygamous he only mates with females belonging to his harem, and the females never mate with other males. Any uncertainty about paternity is therefore ruled out and the young can receive the full care and protection from their father.\nNot so on the savanna, where there is almost complete promiscuity. The females seek 'deliberately' to create confusion about who is the father of their young in order to make all possible fathers sympathetic to their young.\nComparing with human societies, we similarly find a strict sexual moral in regal societies where adultery is severely punished, whereas there is considerably more freedom for promiscuity in kalyptic societies. Exclusive harems are only found in regal societies. A male may have mistresses in a kalyptic society, but he does not own them, and the females may at the same time have several lovers. The sexual behavior of humans in regal and kalyptic societies is the topic of chapter 10.\nIt must be emphasized that our knowledge about the social life of baboons is insufficient, and the above account is based on a limited number of studies. It is difficult to distinguish between cause and effect and there is considerable uncertainty about which factors determine group size and organizational pattern of the baboons. We have no empirical data that can throw light on the supposed social or psychological mechanisms leading to changes in organizational pattern. The observations about conflicts and alliances are regarded as more reliable, so that there are reasonable grounds for asserting a connection between sexual behavior and the ratio between group-internal and group-external conflicts. This connection is indeed interesting since a similar connection is observable among humans, as I will explain in chapter 10.\nOf course, the comparison between humans and baboons cannot be used for proving anything about the social or sexual lives of humans, but the study of baboons shows that a causal mechanism connecting social conflict patterns with sexual behavior is indeed biologically possible.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Mexico has entered into a number of Free Trade Agreements over the past several years, most notably NAFTA. This has opened up many business opportunities that previously were restricted. Also, recent changes to the laws now allow 100% foreign ownership of Mexican companies. Though there are still some restrictions in areas considered as being in the nations best interest (oil, communications, transportation, etc) there is a wide field of opportunity from factories and assembly plants to local small business.\nWhat is a MAQUILADORA?\nMaquiladora comes from the Spanish word maquilar meaning \"to perform a task for another.\" Today, maquiladora refers to a Mexican corporation, wholly or predominantly owned by foreigners, which assembles products for export to the U.S. or other foreign country or Mexico Market. Foreign corporations wishing to reduce their manufacturing costs in order to become more competitive in a global economy may achieve this goal by setting up a Maquiladora or Shelter of operations in Mexico. This means taking advantage of a special customs treatment, less expensive labor costs and lower operating expenses available in Mexico. A Maquiladora or Maquila is a plant in Mexico that retains a Maquiladora Permit from the Mexican government to import raw materials duty free into Mexico for manufacturing, assembly, repair or other processing. The Maquiladora Program was created in 1965 with the Border Industrialization Program. It was designed to generate employment, foreign investment, and stimulate industry in Mexico. The program was part of a worldwide movement known as global production sharing. With the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), in 1994, U.S. companies have rushed to Mexican border towns to comply, and avoid high tariffs.\nThe Maquila Industry has transformed the border area of Baja California, which includes the cities of Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez and Mexicali, from tourist and agricultural areas into thriving industrial centers. As of May 2002, there are over 3600 maquiladora plants employing over 1.1 million people in Mexico.\nHow does a Maquiladora work?\nA maquiladora typically performs assembly, or sub-assembly, operations. Components are imported duty-free to Mexico, whereupon a maquiladora performs the assembly needed to complete the work. The finished product is then exported out of Mexico, or in some cases to other maquilas where it is used in another assembly operation. Typically, maquiladoras work best for labor-intensive manufacturers. Such businesses range from electronics manufacturers to pet products, medical equipment, sporting goods, apparel, cable assembly and toy makers. The essence of the maquiladora system is to reduce labor overhead. That’s why in the more than 30 years since maquiladoras were introduced, there are more than 3,500 companies, including but not limited to Sony, Ford, General Electric, General Motors and Zenith that have set up Maquila Operations in Mexico.\nThe degree of difficulty in establishing a business in Mexico depends on the size and complexity of the business. Large companies will naturally elicit assistance from professional consultants to establish their business, where a small business may only use a Notario to register the business and a local accountant to handle the reporting requirements.\nMexico, as a whole, and specifically the State of Jalisco, are extremely pro-active in encouraging foreign investment.

Will Mitridate renounce his bride, or punish both his sons?\nA remarkable teenage achievement\nMozart was just 14 when he began work on Mitridate, re di Ponto, to a commission from the Teatro Regio Ducal in Milan. Mozart tailored each of the opera’s roles precisely to the singer performing, and provided the full, complex orchestral textures that the Milanese favoured. Mitridate began rehearsals on 5 or 6 December 1770. The premiere was on 26 December, with the young composer conducting. Although the opera was successful and ran for 22 performances, it then disappeared from the repertory for two centuries.\nFrom French drama to Italian opera seria\nMitridate, re di Ponto has a libretto (by Vittorio Amadeo Cigna-Santi) loosely based on the French dramatist Racine’s acclaimed 17th century play Mithridate, in turn based very loosely on the real-life story of the despotic king Mithridates VI of Pontus. The subject was popular with 18th-century opera composers. Mozart’s opera, even more than Racine’s play, deviates considerably from historical fact, in order to accommodate the love triangles and themes of honour and ambition expected in opera seria.\nA singers’ opera\nMitridate follows traditional opera seria practices in having the drama’s action conducted through recitatives, while the characters express their emotion in arias; there are only two ensembles. The arias range from virtuosic displays such as Sifare’s ‘Soffre il mio cor’ to more reflective, soul-searching numbers such as Aspasia’s ‘Nel sen mi palpita dolente il cor’.\nAn exotic spectacle\nGraham Vick’s production pays tribute to the spectacle of 18th-century opera (and Mozart’s own fascination with fashion), with elaborate crinolined richly-coloured costumes, decorated in sumptuous embroidery.

Immune cells called T cells and dendritic cells are regular occupiers of atherosclerotic plaques, where a collection of these cells and other debris floating through blood vessels ultimately pack together and block the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart. By targeting these immune cells, Karolinska Institute scientists believe they could develop a method for treating heart disease completely separate from techniques focused on lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL), AKA “bad” cholesterol.\nThe main “ingredient” of this new technique is a protein called PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9). PCSK9 proteins degrade LDL receptors, which results in increased amounts of LDL. Thus, PCSK9 inhibitors are prescribed to lower LDL cholesterol. But there’s yet another use for PCSK9 inhibitors.\nThe scientists needed to find a way to inhibit immune cells promoting the formation of atherosclerotic plaques without suppressing the entire immune system. So, they needed to know what specifically activates the T cells and dendritic cells found in atherosclerotic plaques. They discovered two key players: PCSK9 and oxidized LDL.\nWhen LDL becomes oxidized, a modification is made to the lipoprotein that promotes its interaction with and uptake by macrophages, making oxidized LDL a clear marker for cardiovascular disease.\nResearchers collected T cells from carotid arteries from people with atherosclerosis and from healthy individuals. Dendritic cells were taken from human peripheral blood. They combined dendritic cells with oxidized LDL before adding in T cells.\nThey found that oxidized LDL both triggered production of PCSK9 proteins and induced dendritic cell maturation and T cell activation into helper cells. However, inhibiting PCSK9 reversed the effects.\n“This changed a pro-inflammatory profile into an anti-inflammatory state that is potentially anti-atherosclerotic,” explained lead author Prof Johan Frostegård. “The benefits of PCSK9 inhibition extend beyond lowering LDL cholesterol.”", "label": "No"} {"text": "Deconstruction involves carefully dismantling a building and salvaging the parts that can be re-used.

Hera was the jealous wife of Zeus, the\nking of the gods. Zeus\nwas indeed very unfaithful. When Zeus fell in love with Io,\nhe transformed himself into the shape of a dark cloud to hide himself from his jealous wife.\nHowever, noticed the small cloud and suspected\nthat the cloud was one of Zeus's tricks. Thus, she approached to check the\ntrue nature of the cloud. As soon as Hera arrived, Zeus immediately transformed Io\ninto a white cow to avoid his wife's wrath. But Hera guessed the intrigue and asked if Zeus wanted the cow as a gift. Zeus could not refuse such a little gift without giving himself\nThus, Hera tied the poor cow and sent her faithful servant Argus to watch over Io. Argus had a hundred eyes and only a few were ever closed at any time. To free Io, Zeus sent his son Mercury to sing and tell boring stories to make Argus sleep with all his eyes. Mercury told so many stories that finally Argus close all his hundred\neyes. Only then did Mercury kill Argus and untie Io, who ran home free.\nYet when Hera\ndiscovered what had occurred, she was so furious that she sent a vicious gadfly to sting the cow forever. Moreover, to honor the memory of her faithful servant, Hera put the hundred eyes of Argus on the tail of her favorite bird, the peacock. The hundred eyes could not see any more but beautifully decorate the tail of the peacock.\nMeanwhile, Io, who was still prisoner into the shape of a cow, could not get rid of the malicious gadfly. Finally, after Zeus vowed to no longer pursue his beloved Io, Hera released Io from her inhuman prison, and Io settled in Egypt, becoming the first queen of Egypt.\nThe Jovian moon Io was named for the mythological character Io by\nJohannes Kepler, and Simon Marius.

But, learning is a life-long process and often, text books are not sufficient. We present to you a list of books that are a must-read for members of your profession (and which are not textbooks). In what little leisure time you find in your busy day, feel free to pick one or more of these medical and literary books:\n1. Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong by Angela Saini\nSexism in the medical field has cost women their lives. With great care, Angela Saini has ruffled pages with decades of research that tried to downplay women compared to men in several areas. The majority of these apparent “sex differences” were actually the product of biased researchers or flawed studies. Inferior provides impetus to the discourse surrounding gender discrimination in science in meaningful ways. A timely and worthy read!\n2. Second Suns by David Oliver Relin\nIn this transporting book, David Oliver Relin brings our attention to the work of Geoffrey Tabin and Sanduk Ruit, two ophthalmologists who have dedicated their lives to restoring sight to some of the world’s most isolated, impoverished people through their very own Himalayan Cataract Project. The book is a perfect culmination of the raw emotions behind restoring sight and lives of thousands of patients and the tactical steps taken by the medical industry to find the right balance between making money and helping others.\n3. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot\nHenrietta Lacks, a thirty-one-year-old black woman, died after a gruesome battle with cancer but not before the doctors at Johns Hopkins took some cells from her failing body. These cells were used for research without her or her family’s consent. Labeled “HeLa”, Henrietta’s cells were reproduced by the billions over the following sixty years and have been instrumental in experiments across a wide range of biological science. Rebecca Skloot brilliantly shows the story of the Lacks family, its connection to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans and the resulting birth of bioethics and legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.\n4. Complications: A Surgeon’s Notes On An Imperfect Science by Dr. Atul Gawande\nDr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon by profession, explores the power and limits of medicine in this gripping account of true cases. Complications lay bare a science, not in its idealized form but as it actually is — uncertain, perplexing, and profoundly human. The writing is eloquent with a clear love for surgery. Most of the stories are detailed in a simple language, making it an interesting read for medical professionals and laymen alike.\n5. The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee\nIn this book, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. Mukherjee, with the insights of his predecessors and peers, highlights our physical and intellectual struggle with overcoming cancer, who has proved to be an infinitely resourceful adversary.\n6. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Dr. Yuval Noah Harari\nIn Sapiens, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. He takes us on a journey of how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power … and our future.\n7.

In one way or another, conflict is a part of everyday experience, in which we navigate the complexities of how we interact. Typically minor conflicts don’t make someone feel unsafe or threatened. Bullying, on the other hand, is a behaviour with intention to hurt, harm or humiliate and the person targeted is not able to make it stop.\nConflict vs. Bullying\nBullying is different from conflict.\n- Conflict is a disagreement or argument in which both sides express their views.\n- Bullying is negative behaviour directed by someone exerting power and control over another person.\nRocketKids delivers character education, life-skill learning, and growth mindset videos and lessons to classrooms and homes.

When we ingest too many acidic or acid-producing foods, excess acid corrodes tissues and organs, which leads to illness, sickness and disease. In addition, acid also provides a favorable environment for harmful bacteria and other micro organism that can damage organs, glands and body cells.\nThe body’s pH Level / pH Scale\nThe pH level is a measure of acidity or alkalinity, which takes numerical values from 0 (maximum acidity) through 7 (neutral) to 14 (maximum alkalinity). The saliva, blood, urine, digestive juices, mucus and the fluids inside and outside the body’s cells each have an optimum pH level; blood pH is the most telling of all. The ideal blood pH is slightly alkaline, with a normal range of 7.35 to 7.45. If the pH moves below 6.8 or above 7.8, the cells of the body stop functioning and the human will die. Consequently, the body continually struggles to maintain its ideal pH.\nAcidosis Will Interrupt Cellular Activities\nIn other words, over-acidified body cells (which leads to acidosis) will interrupt cellular activities and functions. It is the root of all sickness and disease. And it is also what causes overweight: to protect itself from potentially serious damage, the body creates new fat cells to store the extra acid. The key to restoring our body to its ideal pH is to create the proper balance of alkaline and acid forming foods. Since our body’s pH level is slightly alkaline, our diet should also reflect this.\nTherefore, we should ingest at least 75% of alkalizing foods, like green vegetables, and never more than 20-25% of neutral and acidifying foods. Eating foods that are alkalizing transforms our body’s balance from dangerously acidic to slightly above neutral. Here are some simple strategies that can help to remove the acid wastes in the body (by adopting these habits the body’s pH level will gradually be balanced).\nBetter Eating Habits to Remove Acid Wastes\n„X Eliminate red meat and reduce the portion size of any fish, chicken or turkey\n„X Eliminate dairy products and replace milk with Soy or almond milk\n„X Use bread with no or very little yeast\n„X Try to not consume processed food or if you do, limit it\n„X Take extra virgin olive oil along with flax seed oil, as often as you can\n„X Eat big salads as a whole meal: put in tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, zucchini, other vegetables, almonds, salmon or soba noodles, and add sunflower, pumpkin or sesame seeds\n„X Consider using wraps to wrap your veggies and salads, sprouted tortilla wraps or organic flour tortillas are great to use (not corn)\nNo More Fat Cells in an Alkaline Environment\nBesides, there is another nice side effect should the focus be put on an alkaline diet: as the acidic environment is eliminated, there will be no need for new fat cells to form. That means the fat in our body is no longer needed, and literally melts away. When we achieve pH balance, our body naturally drops to its healthy weight, our food cravings will diminish and our energy levels will increase immensely.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Direct Bilirubin - Health Encyclopedia - University of Rochester\nBilirubin is also part of bile, which your liver makes to help digest the food you eat.

In summer, winds from the southwest carry moisture from the Indian Ocean and deposit it over the Indian subcontinent. Around October, the winds reverse direction, and only certain regions receive the remaining moisture.\nThe topography of the subcontinent further contributes to the intensity of the monsoon, with the Himalayas and the Western Ghats acting as barriers that trap severe weather above India. Despite its seasonality, the timing, duration, and intensity of the Indian Summer Monsoon vary widely, and scientists are keen to improve modeling and prediction methods to account for this kind of variability.\nUsing observations from an instrument called the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite, Raju et al. evaluated how changes in temperature and moisture with respect to altitude influence monsoon development. They used the data to model monsoon characteristics, including precipitation, easterly wind shear, low-level moisture distribution, and the temperature of the troposphere (the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere).\nBy combining observations and a regional model, the team was able to more accurately forecast patterns of precipitation across the region. The forecast monsoon features are highly correlated with observations, indicating their potential value for future predictions of the Indian summer monsoon. The AIRS data may be the key to more realistic models of temperature and moisture processes that drive monsoon development and behavior. Seasonal forecast improvements would have tremendous implications for lives and livelihoods throughout the region, especially during the extremes (drought or flood).

However, I knew the orders of four directions were not universal when I studied cross-cultural comparison.\nIn English, as you know, it is said as\n“North, South, East and West.”\nIn China and Japan, four directions are listed as\n\"East, West, South and North.\"\nIn Buddhist sutras, they are listed as\n\"East, South, West and North.\"\nThere is another word “Roppo(六方)” meaning “Six directions.” Roppo(六方)means these four directions plus Above/Up (Heaven) and Below/Down (Earth.)\nThen other four directions are called “Shi-I(四維)” as\nEast-South 東南…..South-East (English)\nWest-South 西南…. South-West(English)\nWest-North 西北…..North-West (English)\nEast-North 東北…….North-East (English)\nSo Jippo or actual ten directions are \"Shihou (four directions)+Shii(other four directions)+ Up+Down.\" They are;\n- East 東\n- South 南\n- West 西\n- North 北\n- Up 上\n- Down 下\n- East-South 東南\n- West-South 西南\n- West-North 西北\n- East-North 東北\nIn Buddhism, there are countless Buddha lands in ten directions of the universe. For non-Buddhists, it may be hard to believe Buddha lands in the universe.....However, I believe countless Buddha lands are maybe like countless suns and their solar systems in the universe. It's really amazing the scale of Buddhism is as vast as universe!\nBy the way, in Japan, there used to be a belief that the word “NEWS” stands for;\n\"News\" was said to be “information from four directions of North, East, West, and South.” Though it sounded true but it was not. “News” is the plural form of “new” which means “something new information.”", "label": "No"} {"text": "Program encourages volunteers to take care of Mauna Kea\nBy CAROLYN LUCAS-ZENK\nStephens Media Hawaii\nTraveling to the top of Mauna Kea in 1825, Scottish botanist James Macrae described in awe “one plant of the Syginesia tribe, in growth much like a Yucca, with sharp pointed coloured leaves and green upright spike of three or four feet producing pendulous branches with brown flowers, truly superb, and almost worth the journey of coming here to see it on purpose.”\nHe was writing about the Mauna Kea silversword that grew in abundance and was the only plant he saw during the final mile of his journey.\nThis endemic plant, also called ahinahina, had a historical range that dominated the mountain’s subalpine and alpine ecosystems at the 8,500- to 12,500-foot elevations. Today, the Mauna Kea silversword is a federally endangered species. The population declined severely by the pressures of grazing ungulates and other vegetation, said Fritz Klasner, natural resources program manager for the Office of Mauna Kea Management.\nRestoration and recovery efforts are under way through the Office of Mauna Kea Management, state Department of Land and Natural Resources and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. DLNR propagates silverswords in its greenhouse and strives to reintroduce thousands of seedlings annually. The Office of Mauna Kea Management and its volunteers have helped with the outplantings, including planting 200 silverswords in the state’s enclosure next to the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy Visitor Information Station at the 9,500-foot elevation, Klasner said.\nThe newly planted silverswords are encircled with neatly stacked rocks, which help collect the fog drip — a key source of moisture. The plants are also watered twice a week for about a month, then once a week for another five months or until winter, the wet season, hits. The Office of Mauna Kea Management coordinates the watering and helps monitor the site. Approximately two-thirds or three-fourths of the plants survive. Once a root system is established, the silverswords are expected to live 30 to 50 years on Mauna Kea, Klasner said.\nThe Office of Mauna Kea Management started a volunteer program in 2012 as a way to engage the public in helping take care of the mountain in a meaningful way. It also serves to educate people about the unique resources and the activities that occur there, Klasner said.\nVolunteers get a rare look inside the observatory support facilities at Hale Pohaku, where astronomers and technicians who work at the summit go to acclimate or live while working. They also enjoy presentations from various speakers, including natural resource managers, cultural practitioners, entomologists, scientists and researchers who share information about Mauna Kea or their work.\nThe Office of Mauna Kea Management, which falls under the University of Hawaii at Hilo’s chancellor, is tasked with achieving “harmony, balance, and trust in the sustainable management and stewardship of the Mauna Kea Science Reserve through community involvement and programs that protect, preserve, and enhance the natural, cultural and recreational resources of Mauna Kea while providing a world-class center dedicated to education, research, and astronomy.” It manages the area starting at the 9,200-foot elevation and extending to the 13,792-foot summit. This encompasses the 11,288-acre Mauna Kea Science Reserve, the midlevel facilities at Hale Pohaku and the Summit Access Road, Klasner said.\nThe Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce and Board of Realtors helped launch the office’s volunteer program by rallying members to participate in invasive weed pulls around Hale Pohaku and along the road corridor.\nVolunteers typically help remove invasive species, such as fireweed, fountain grass, common mullein, telegraph weed and poppies, by hand. Planting rare silverswords is a unique opportunity, one that’s made possible by DLNR, which makes the seedlings available, provides planting instructions and obtains the needed permits, Klasner said.\nRemoving invasive plants is important for several reasons. Invasive plants can harm native bird populations, including the palila, a critically endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper, through the displacement of native forest and shrub lands. They can also prevent forest recovery by smothering the native plant seedlings; change the fire regime; alter habitats; and serve as ideal homes for unwanted predators or insects. For example, the Argentine ant is a serious threat to native flora and fauna because of its appetite for seeds, nectar and arthropods such as moths and bees, which are pollinators of the silversword, Klasner said.\nWhile the removal may not eradicate invasive plants, the efforts are making a difference — one that can be seen. Areas once completely taken over by invasive plants are now relatively sparse. The expansion has decreased or stopped. This continuing control is giving native species a better chance at becoming more established and, in some cases, in perpetuity, Klasner said.\nEventually, the Office of Mauna Kea Management plans to plant various native species, further helping restore areas and increase the native plant diversity.\nThe work days, consisting of no more than 50 volunteers at a time, take place at least once per month. So far, more than 1,500 volunteer hours have been donated this year, already surpassing last year’s total of 1,200 hours, Klasner said.\nTo get involved or for more information about the volunteer program, call Klasner at 933-0734 or email email@example.com.\nEmail Carolyn Lucas-Zenk at firstname.lastname@example.org.\nRules for posting comments\nComments posted below are from readers.

With the increasing popularity of ad campaigns and the Adobe Creative Cloud—particularly Photoshop and Illustrator—graphic design seems to be a go-to career path for many upcoming young professionals. With the competition between goods-based corporations and advertisers intensifying by the second, there seems to be no shortage in demand for new graphic designers. While it might not be the highest paying career of them all, graphic design is still a reputable profession to consider. In India, where forty percent of advertisements are visual, it would be wise for an upcoming professional to have some working knowledge in graphic design.\nRequirements for graphic designers seem to be similar worldwide. One key requirement is to have an educational background in graphic design. With more than twenty colleges solely dedicated to graphic design, students have a considerable amount of options when seeking an education. Students can study graphic design in two-year professional degree programs, four-year Bachelors’ programs, or two-year Masters’ programs. These programs, as a whole, center on the practical and theoretical aspects of graphic design. In short, the students will have knowledge in areas such as photography, illustration, typography, packaging, and web design in addition to a plethora of other working concentrations. Given that the world is digitally-based now, there is also a special emphasis on graphic design software.\nUsing the MIT Institute of Design’s undergraduate program as an example, beginning courses for graphic design would obviously teach the basics. Students will learn the basics of design—such as color, geometry, form, space and drawing. Students can expect to incorporate that bit of working knowledge into computer software programs such as Adobe Photoshop. As their course work intensifies, students are expected to gain knowledge of communications and how design plays into it. Most of their practical coursework would involve creating ad campaigns to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of graphic design.\nGujarat seems to be a hub for graphic design in India, having at least five design schools based there. With options such as Animation, Communications Design, and Graphic Design, students are afforded the opportunity to receive an excellent education in Gujarat. One of the more affordable schools to receive a graphic design through would be the Kalapurnam Institute of Visual Effect and Animation. Offering diplomas in graphic design, students can receive certification and knowledge in graphic design for only Rs. 15,500. Even better, some of their courses can be taken online.\nAs for salary, graphic designers fare considerably well. For a junior graphic designer, their base salary starts at Rs. 90,000 per annum. However, a more experienced graphic designer can expect to earn up to Rs. 800,000. All things considered, a career in graphic design is not one to be ignored. Given that the industry is booming and the demand for graphic designers is increasing each year, aspiring graphic designers have an ample amount of options at their disposal. With a variety of colleges at which to study and bountiful employment opportunities, a graphic designer seems to be well off nowadays.", "label": "No"} {"text": "(NaturalNews) Researchers from Newcastle University have scientifically proven that Hyptis crenata, also known as Brazilian mint, is a powerful pain reliever that works just as well as Indometacin, a synthetic drug similar to aspirin. A traditional remedy for treating the flu, stomach problems, high fevers, and headaches, Brazilian mint was found to be extremely powerful and safe.\nThe team, led by Graciela Rocha, set out to perform the study using the traditional preparation of the herb. Surveys were conducted in Brazil to figure out exactly how this was done and how much should be consumed in order to achieve beneficial results. The preparation the team ended up using consisted of the herb's dried leaves being steeped in boiling water for 30 minutes. Once cool, the tea was consumed in the same way as any other brewed tea would be. The results indicated efficacy in a wide range of ailments.\nGraciela emphasized the fact that more than 50,000 plants worldwide are used for some type of medicinal purpose and that researchers should focus on identifying these types of plants and testing their efficacy. Since more than half of all prescription drugs are derived from plant compounds, it is a worthy effort to study plant medicines in their natural, safe forms.\nFindings were put forward at the 2nd International Symposium on Medicinal and Nutraceutical Plants in New Delhi, India and are set to be published in the society's journal Acta Horticulturae. Clinical trials are the next step for the group who hopes to discover not only the various effective dose levels for various pains and illnesses but also the specific characteristics of the herb that make it so advantageous.\nComments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger\nLiving in South America, I find myself surrounded by abundant natural medicine. I can't walk fifty feet out my front door without discovering medicinal plants.\nSouth America is an undiscovered medicine chest that continues to remain largely ignored by western nations. Ecuador, for example, offers seemingly countless medicinal plants that have yet to be properly studied and understood. Brazil, meanwhile, is a huge, incredibly biodiverse nation with a rich collection of undiscovered medicinal plants that very quite literally save the western world from chronic disease.\nIn Ecuador, I recently took a weekend trip and harvested fresh Sangre de Drago from the trees found in the local rainforests. We also harvested tres filos herb from the local hillsides, and we even found some amazing guayusa herb leaves that we harvested to make some invigorating tea. In these three herbs alone, thousands of medicinal compounds exist. Most are entirely unknown by western science, but they were well understood in function by the South American Indians who inhabited regions throughout South American which now include Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia and several others.\nIn addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition.

Most early toddlers (under 16 months of age) grow more than one-half a foot size in two months. Toddlers from age 16 to 24 months grow an average of one foot size (0.5cm) every three months. The young child, 24 to 36 months old, grows approximately one foot (0.5cm) size every four months, and children over 3 years of age experience increases of one foot size (0.5cm) every four to six months.\nRemember, shoes should be comfortable from the start. If new shoes need to be “broken in,” it means either they were not properly designed or not properly fitted for your child’s foot.\nMeasure your child’s foot from the top of the longest toe to the end of the heel. If one foot is longer than the other (quite common among children), then measure the longer foot. Then check the size chart. The child’s feet in centimentres refers to the insole length of the shoe. E.g. if your child’s foot is 14cm, the corresponding size should be EUR size 22. The allowance has been made in the size chart.\nresult in a child trudging or reluctant to run. Although many Asian parents like to buy bigger shoe sizes for their children, it is really not encouraged as this causes stress on the child’s feet while running. The child has to use more energy to lift the foot and this may result in falls or worse, the child may start to dislike running. When a child takes off running happily in his new pair of shoes without any hesitation, you know you have bought the right sized shoes. A wrong sized shoe will cause a child to reduce or stop activity altogether.\nWe all love to share our used baby stuff with our friends such as bottles and clothes. However, shoes is something that is greatly discouraged, though not many parents are aware of this. A pair of shoes that has been worn will have the corresponding feet impresses that are formed from the child’s gait (walking style/impact points). Every person’s gait is different. Hence if a child wears a pair of second hand shoes that are very different from his/her gait (impact points), this could result in falls, or more invisibly, a change in his gait which could adversely impair his feet development. Foot sprains may not be apparent in children (as compared to adults wearing a pair of wrongly gaited second-hand shoes), as the bones on their feet are still very soft. But long-term wearing may cause the feet (and legs, in order to balance the impact of the shoes) to be formed not as nicely as a good, new pair of shoes would. And such “ugliness” will only be apparent when the child is older, and cannot be reversed.\nThe foot is a complex structure comprised of 26 bones. These bones are designed to support the entire body, adapt to uneven surfaces and absorb shock. A baby’s foot contains more cartilage than bone, which, over time, will fuse and harden into adult bones. Although the structure of the foot develops fully by the first 2 years, the bones themselves will not fully develop and harden until around the age of 18. This is why it is crucial to have good shoes early on, so that the bones are allowed to develop naturally.\nShoes consist of four parts: the upper, the insole, the outer sole and the heel.\nThe upper part of the child’s shoe should be made of leather, canvas or the newer mesh materials. Children’s feet perspire heavily, and the upper part of their shoes should be made of breathable materials. Leather or canvas allows the foot to breathe. Avoid man-made material, such as plastic.\nMake sure the insole is made of absorbent material. Raf Raf’s padded insoles provide support and aids to absorb the impact when children run in the shoes. Most children do not need a special arch support. All toddlers younger than 16 months have flat feet and only fully develop an arch by the age of 6 to 8 years. Raf Raf Insoles are breathable and can be washed.\nThe outer sole provides traction, cushioning and flexibility to the shoe. It also protects the feet from sharp and dangerous objects on the ground. Outer soles should be flat, made with rubber or materials with patterns or grooves to make it non-slippery. Some outer soles that are too thick can make young children clumsy and cause falls and should be avoided. Conversely, outer soles that are too soft (e.g. only a leather lining) can cause the child to develop tiptoe walking, as they are unable to place their feet firmly on the ground. It is a fallacy to look for extremely light shoes for children. Look for soles that are firm yet flexible, soft yet not overly flimsy.\nToddlers do not need heels on their shoes. Flat outer soles make it easier to begin walking. Older children from 7 years old can wear shoes with heels, but they should not be too high (taller than one inch), as tall heels can cause the foot to slide forward and cramp the toes against the inside of the shoe.\nDuring the first several years, your child’s foot continues to take shape. At this time, problems such as flat foot or high arch may become noticeable, but usually no specific treatment is necessary. If severe, these problems may be symptoms of other, more serious conditions and your child may need a physician’s examination and diagnosis.\nHere are some of the more common developmental foot conditions:", "label": "No"} {"text": "The 1932 Washington quarter is a type of US quarter which has been minted first in 1932 and still remains one of the most popular US coins of all time.

The original design was issued to commemorate George Washington’s 200th birthday.\nDesign of the Coin\nThe obverse of this coin sows George Washington facing left in profile and was designed by sculptor John Flanagan and his initials can be found at the base of George Washington’s neck along with the date of minting, in this case, 1932.

However, the Cambridge Diet program is extremely calorie restricted and supplies as few as 415-500 calories per day. The pre-packaged, formulated foods are available in a range of flavours in powder, liquid and bar form. The Cambridge Diet comes in a number of different formats. These include individual meals in sachets of powder which are mixed with water to produce soups and milkshakes. There are also ready-mixed Tetra Briks and chocolate-covered meal bars. Cambridge is available in a number of flavours. The Cambridge Diet is only available through independent Cambridge counsellors who provide a personal screening, advisory, monitoring and support service. These counsellors are trained but are not necessarily licensed medical professionals.\nVery low calorie diets, such as the Cambridge Diet, are based on the fact that if a dieter takes in fewer calories than he or she needs for energy, then the body will burn stored fat for energy, which will result in weight loss and a leaner appearance. Medical guidance and caution is needed when considering the extremely restrictive Cambridge Diet. Caloric intake may be too severely restricted for many people and lead to rebound weight gain. This is due to the fact that severe calorie restriction results in the body going into \"starvation\" mode, which leads to a lower metabolism, the body's way to try to prevent complete starvation. This often leads to gaining even more weight then was lost after the diet has been discontinued. This encourages \"yo-yo\" dieting patterns that are unhealthy and do not result in effective weight control. Severe calorie and nutrient restriction can also lead to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), low blood pressure, dizziness, and weakness. They can also result in ketoacidosis, a condition in which severe restriction of calories or carbohydrates leads to dangerously high levels of acids called ketones build up in the blood and can poison the body.\nThe most effective weight loss diets include enough calories to allow dieters to lose about one to two pounds per week. Rapid weight loss is not recommended. Good, effective weight loss plans also advocate for a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, while the Cambridge diet actually cautions against anything but the mildest activity while on the diet. Due to the severe restrictions of the Cambridge Diet, it is not recommended for many people with many conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Of all the cities that erupted that decade—Watts, Newark, Chicago, Milwaukee, Harlem, Washington, D.C., and hundreds of others—Detroit was the worst. Federal troops and armored tanks were dispatched to American streets. Buses were used as mobile prisons. Over five chaotic days, more than 1,000 people were injured and more than 2,000 buildings were destroyed. Forty-three people were killed, mostly African-Americans. My city is still dealing with the repercussions, both physical and psychological.\nBut even here, in the deadliest of the 1960s riots, the number of fatalities does not match the worst of our modern-day mass shootings. This week, at least 58 were killed by a shooter firing military-style rifles at rapid speed in Las Vegas, and more than 515 were injured. At Orlando’s Pulse nightclub in June 2016, a shooter murdered 49 people in just a few hours. At Virginia Tech in 2007, a shooter killed 32 people. At Connecticut’s Sandy Hook elementary school in 2012, it was 20 children and six adults—matching the death toll from Newark’s five-day uprising in 1967, and doing it in the course of a single morning.\nWe think of urban rebellions as a defining crisis of 1960s America. Today, it is mass shootings, which are far more common than riots ever were back then—and far deadlier. In the wave of riots from 1964 through 1971, 228 people were killed across more than 750 different disturbances. So far, in 2017 alone, there have been 273 mass shootings in which at least four people—not including the shooter—have been shot. That averages about one a day. In all, 300 people have been killed this year by mass shooters, and the grim numbers emerging from Nevada may yet add to that total.\nWhy, then, is it taking us so long to see mass shootings as a systemic crisis, as we did 50 years ago when one city after another exploded into violence? Back then, there were some ham-handed and even harmful attempts to respond to the riots. Some local police departments began to stockpile sophisticated weapons, train squads of sharpshooters and send undercover agents into poor black neighborhoods. But there was also a recognition that civil disorders were a pattern, not a series of inexplicable tragedies.\nBefore the fires in Detroit had cooled in 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson went on national television to announce the creation of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders. It was a bipartisan team of 10 men and one woman chaired by Otto Kerner, the former governor of Illinois. What became known as the Kerner Commission also included New York City Mayor John Lindsay, the chief of police in Atlanta, the executive director of the NAACP, and Edward W. Brooke, a Massachusetts Republican and the only African-American member of the U.S. Senate.\nThis group was tasked with answering three questions about the unrest in America’s cities: What happened? Why did it happen? And what can be done? Over seven months, they conducted rigorous field studies, interviews, hearings, data analysis, surveys and other research, tracing both full-blown uprisings and close calls in cities all across the country.\nJohnson had asked for a diagnosis of “the conditions that breed despair and violence.” He got more than he bargained for.\nOn February 29, 1968, five months ahead of schedule, the commission released an exhaustive, six-volume report attacking the racism, poverty and inequality built into American cities. It was issued as a mass-market paperback with an introduction by New York Times columnist Tom Wicker. It sold more 740,000 copies—more than the Warren Commission’s report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Marlon Brando read excerpts on “The Joey Bishop Show.” Inspired by the text, Archbishop John Dearden, the head of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, ordered Catholic clergy to give sermons on combating racism. The Kerner Report represented a genuine cultural moment when America acknowledged a systemic problem and, at least for a time, tried to grapple with it.\nThe report is most famous for declaring, “Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal.” It detailed the profound demographic changes in the cities and suburbs over the 20th century, and wrestled with pervasive myths, like the one that claimed that if impoverished European immigrants could assimilate to life outside their ghettos, so could African-Americans. And it was unambiguous in its findings. “What white Americans have never fully understood—but what the Negro can never forget—is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto,” read the summary introduction. “White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.”\nTo remedy this, the report also listed concrete recommendations “on a scale equal to the dimension of the problems.” Far more federal and state investment in education, jobs, public housing, and social services was needed—paid for with more taxes, if necessary. More racial and ethnic diversity was needed in newsrooms. Better training and accountability measures for police officers was a must. There needed to be more investment in early childhood education, and more effort to focus suburban communities on the physical, social and cultural environment of the core city. “These programs will require unprecedented levels of funding and performance, but they neither probe deeper nor demand more than the problems which called them forth,” the commission wrote. “There can be no higher priority for national action and no higher claim on the Nation’s conscience.”\nAnd yet, for all the care that went into crafting the Kerner Report—and for all the publicity it generated—at the highest levels of government, its recommendations were largely ignored. Johnson scarcely commented on it and was reportedly irritated that it didn’t give more credit to his Great Society programs. Many conservatives scorned the report for failing to hold the rioters responsible for their own actions. Richard Nixon’s election to the presidency that fall—won in part on his “law and order” agenda—pivoted the nation to a new era of politics that, to say the least, did not include a comprehensive urban agenda.\nBut the report is nonetheless an invaluable documentation of a national crisis. It informed a few pieces of major policy: the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, which Congress passed when civil unrest again overtook American cities in the wake of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, and the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, which was designed to construct more low-income housing. A few years later, it was modified to move more subsidized housing programs into the suburbs.\nIn 1969, the Federal Communications Commission applied Equal Employment Opportunity rules to its broadcasters, after being petitioned to do so by the United Church of Christ. In declaring that licensees who discriminated against employees would violate their public interest obligations, the FCC cited the Kerner Report’s contention that “the media can contribute greatly” to confronting America’s “serious racial crisis.” In 1990, the report was referenced by the U.S. Supreme Court in a ruling about the constitutionality of the FCC’s policies on minority ownership.\nThe Kerner Report also motivated change on the local level. The American Jewish Committee formed task forces and advised members on “Implementing the Kerner Report: What You Can Do”—suggesting, for example, that they shelter and feed people who lost their homes, provide displaced business owners with assistance to reopen their stores, and partner whenever possible with black-owned suppliers and contractors. Just before the first anniversary of the Detroit rebellion, the Michigan Catholic School Superintendents’ Committee integrated black history into all subjects taught in its 675 schools statewide, and developed in-service training programs for its staff. Today, a Detroit journalism collaborative is using the Kerner Report as a “baseline for examining the city’s progress in the decades since.”\nFor all the varied responses, the very existence of the Kerner Report in 1968 acknowledged that there was an underlying dysfunction in American society that must be faced.\nSo why is there no Kerner Report for mass shootings?\nMass shootings are more common and more deadly than the rebellions of the 1960s. No one is spared—not children, not high schoolers, not college students, not churchgoers, not health care workers, not military officers and not members of Congress. Yet many are reluctant to recognize a pattern for what it is.\nA well-funded independent federal commission could be tasked with piecing together how and why mass shootings plague our country. It would need to dig deep into a number of thorny issues—gun policy, health care, the criminal justice system, the tenuous balance between security measures and civil liberties. It would not erase the good work other organizations have been doing for years to chronicle and diagnose our plague of mass shootings, but incorporate it. To be most effective, the commission would need to be transparent, releasing not only a report, but also the data, transcripts and all other material that emerged in its investigation. Like the Kerner Report, it could be written and distributed in a way that invites citizens to engage with the material directly through community groups, libraries, popular culture and other venues.\nPerhaps the greatest obstacle to a Kerner Report for our new era of violence would be to find the kind of public and private leaders who are committed to serving on a bipartisan committee in an honest, serious way. It was no picnic for the commission in the 1960s—up until late in the process, both liberal and conservative members considered splitting off and filing dissenting reports. But they came together in the end, and the report had greater power because of it. As the New York Times described it in 1968, “the report is essentially a series of compromises among 11 very different individuals. But it is not the report the same commission would have written eight months ago.”\n“Most of them never in their lives would have signed a report like this at the outset,” a staff aide told the Times. “In the first meetings, most of the talk was about Rap Brown and Stokely Carmichael (militant Negro leaders) and conspiracies. But they heard witnesses, they read, they visited the ghettos. And they began to understand the depth of the problem.”\nPolitics in 2017 is polarized, perhaps around no issue more than gun violence. It is difficult to imagine a bipartisan commission, let alone one appointed by President Donald Trump, working like this. But when a problem is systemic, it repeats itself endlessly until something is done to stop it. The Kerner Commission recognized this 50 years ago: “It is a responsibility so critical that even an unconscious choice to continue present policies has the gravest implications. That we have delayed in choosing or, by delaying, may be making the wrong choice, does not sentence us either to separatism or despair. But we must choose. We will choose. Indeed, we are now choosing.”\nA worthy Kerner Report for mass shootings will be one that has the courage to call for serious, multifaceted action that makes our modern-day plague of bullets a distant memory.

He explains the “Matryoshka principle,” explores the history of land-water transport, and charts the three phases of container history. He examines the rise of logistics, the containerization of computing in the form of modularization and standardization, the architecture of container-like housing (citing both Le Corbusier and Malvina Reynolds's “Little Boxes”), and a range of artistic projects inspired by containers.

Such microbes are deemed \"superbugs.\"\nThe main function of microbes is to reproduce, rapidly spread and survive in the body. They do this by adapting to new environments. When an antibiotic stops the microbes from growing, they can undergo genetic changes that allow them to survive and create a defensive barrier, which is how antimicrobial resistance occurs.\nIn this latest study, recently published in the journal Nature, researchers have discovered how the defensive barriers of superbugs are built, which could lead to the development of new drugs to which bacteria are unable to develop resistance.\nResearch 'provides the platform for urgently needed new generation drugs'\nTo reach their findings, the team analyzed a class of bacteria called gram-negative bacteria. Certain types of gram-negative bacteria - such as Escherichia coli - have become increasingly resistant to antibiotics.\nResearchers analyzed gram-negative bacteria and discovered how cells of the bacteria build their defensive barrier to make them drug resistant - a finding that could pave the way for a new generation of antibiotics.\nAccording to the researchers, the cells of gram-negative bacteria have a dense lipid-based outer membrane that acts as its defensive barrier, protecting it against attacks from the human immune system and antibiotics.\nIt has been unclear as to exactly how the bacteria creates its defensive barrier, until now.\nThe research team, including Prof. Changjang Dong of the Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia, have discovered how the cells of the bacteria transport lipopolysaccharides to their outer surface, therefore building a protective barrier.\n\"We have identified the path and gate used by the bacteria to transport the barrier building blocks to the outer surface. Importantly, we have demonstrated that the bacteria would die if the gate is locked,\" explains Prof. Dong, adding:\n\"This is really important because drug-resistant bacteria is a global health problem. Many current antibiotics are becoming useless, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year.\nThe number of superbugs are increasing at an unexpected rate. This research provides the platform for urgently needed new generation drugs.\"\nLead study author Haohao Dong, also of the Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia, says that as a result of this research, new drugs may be able to attack the defensive barrier of bacteria rather than the bacteria itself.\nTalking to Medical News Today, Prof. Changjang Dong explained:\n\"If we target the machinery for building the outer barrier of the bacteria, that means the drugs just need to attack the outer surface of the bacteria. [The drugs] will not necessary go inside the bacteria and will not be subject to bacterial efflux that pumps out the drugs, which are two main drug resistance methods bacteria have. Therefore, pathogenic bacteria will hardly develop resistance against the drugs we will develop using this approach.\"\nHe told us that the team are now working on the development of small molecules that specifically target the defensive barrier of bacteria.\nMedical News Today recently reported on a study, also published in the journal Nature, which suggests that studying drug resistance in soil bacteria may help defeat superbugs.\nWritten by Honor Whiteman\nCopyright: Medical News Today\nNot to be reproduced without the permission of Medical News Today.", "label": "No"} {"text": "- Patience + Perseverance = Pride\nGenealogy research is not for the faint of heart. It is important to remember to be patient. It is better to go slow and steady rather than rush through your research.

It is better to pass on a well-documented family history than a legend, half-sourced and half-imagined.\n- Go Wide Before You Go Deep!\nIn the black community, extended family, adopted family, and “play cousins” were important members of the family despite their variety of connections. The best way to bust through a brick wall is often to go around it. Instead of researching your direct ancestors, research their siblings, cousins, neighbors, and friends. Our ancestors lived, worked, and worshipped in communities. Their communities were unlike the semi-isolation we have designed for ourselves in modern society. There were no long commutes, or attending a church several counties over. This makes research a little easier. It means someone who lived near your ancestors could provide clues to their contribution to society via their lives. So, as you are browsing records, take special note of who lived close, who signed for their birth and death certificates and who married their children.\n8. Follow the Money\nResearching African-American history is complicated. This is particularly true when researching enslaved ancestors during the Antebellum Era. If you are trying to find your enslaved ancestors, you often have to work double time. First, research your kin. Next, research the white families in the community to identify who held property. This work is hard-emotionally and otherwise. Yet, it is the only true way to find enslaved people who were considered property.\n- Surprise! You May Have More European Ancestry Than You Think\nAccording to a recent genome study, the average European ancestry carried by self-identified African-Americans is roughly 25%! It is important to note that definitions of race has changed with time. Often racial classifications were made by third-party’s observation and based on phenotype. If a person appeared to have any visible European ancestry, they were documented as mulatto.\nThis does not mean the person had one white parent and one black parent. Rather, they simply appeared to have mixed ancestry based on their physical features. This means that even if you do not have any white ancestors for several generations, it is not uncommon to have several generations of mulattoes climbing up in your family tree.\nKeep in mind, Native Americans and other ethnicities which did not fit into the black-white binary of American race classification could also be classified as mulatto. Race was and is highly subjective. Interestingly, some people of color consciously passed for white to take advantage of opportunities available to white Americans. This might explain how the same genetic study reveals that self-identifying whites in the South may carry African DNA.\n- Take a DNA test!\nSpeaking of DNA…Take a test. Any test from one of the major companies is better than no genetic genealogy research.\nDisclaimer: DNA testing is not a substitute for validated oral history and thorough paper history research. However, it can provide hints, confirm the right direction, and even connect you with living cousin matches!\nEnough about my sales pitch. And, no I am not sponsored by any DNA company. I know that it has personally helped me solve family mysteries and confirm family legends. I even have more cool people to call family.\nWhat Genealogy Research Means to Me\nAs a person of African-descent, I grew up not knowing where the majority of my ancestors originated. Claiming the second largest continent was not enough. I so wanted to be able to claim an African nation. Before I began my genealogy research, I could only identify Louisiana as the birthplace of my people.\nToday, my confidence has risen. I am now able to confidently claim that my ancestors came from 5 major regions: Senegambia, Kongo-Angola, France, Germany and Indigenous America. I may not know the names of my African ancestors who were taken captive, nor do I know their individual stories. But, there is a bridge which connects me to my ancestral homelands and to my modern-day kin.\nLearning your family history is more than names, dates and places on a piece of paper. It is the discovery of self, knowing you have a place in this world and remembering the joys and pains of those who came before you.\nRemember their stories and discover yourself.\nHappy Ancestor Hunting!\nClick here to receive help from an expert with your African American research.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named the Sun-n-Sand Motor Hotel as one of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places for 2020.\nIn a release, the Mississippi Heritage Trust provided some background on the historic location in Jackson:\nConstructed in 1960 in the heart of Mississippi’s Capital City, the Sun-n-Sand exemplifies mid-century design with its metal screens, large expanses of glass and colorful Googie sign. During its 40 years of operation, the Sun-n-Sand was the home away from home for Mississippi legislators. The Sun-n-Sand is where a young State Representative, John Grisham, wrote A Time To Kill and where the courageous women of the interracial, interfaith movement “Wednesdays in Mississippi” met to further the cause of Civil Rights.\nThe Sun-n-Sand closed its doors in 2002 and was named to the Mississippi Heritage Trust’s list of the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places in Mississippi in 2005. Over the years, the Mississippi Heritage Trust has fielded numerous calls from developers interested in the property, but the owner, who was receiving a reported $78,000 a year from the State of Mississippi to lease the hotel’s parking lot, was unwilling to sell.\nIn 2019, the State of Mississippi purchased the Sun-n-Sand for a reported $1.1 million dollars and stated its intention to demolish the building to construct a parking lot. Since that time, community leaders have been advocating for the State of Mississippi to consider proposals from interested developers to convert this Mississippi Landmark into apartments, live-work units, or a hotel rather than demolish it. The threat to this modernist building that speaks to Mississippi’s political, architectural, literary, and Civil Rights is imminent, as the State of Mississippi has already received bids for demolition.\nAccording to the Mississippi Heritage Trust, to demolish the Sun-n-Sand and build a 260-spot surface parking lot, it will cost the state an estimated $2,095,000.\n“The Sun-n-Sand Motor Hotel has a history that is as vibrant and distinctive as its architecture, and the National Trust believes it can have an even brighter future,” stated Katherine Malone-France, Chief Preservation Officer for National Trust for Historic Preservation. “Reusing and revitalizing the Sun-n-Sand would help the State of Mississippi celebrate its rich history—including the story of ongoing racial reconciliation represented by ‘Wednesdays in Mississippi’—while putting the building back into use in a way that could create jobs and stimulate economic growth.”\nThe post Sun-n-Sand Motor Hotel named one of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places appeared first on News Mississippi.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Maybe you have asked, Is Diarrhea a Symptom of Corona Virus?

The remainder experience diarrhea about 10 days after they experience respiratory distress.\nHowever, the findings suggest that patients with digestive symptoms had a longer time than the onset of symptoms until hospital admission compared to patients without digestive symptoms, 9 days compared to 7.3 days.\nThis suggests that patients with digestive symptoms, seek treatment later because they have not been suspicious they suffer from Covid-19 due to lack of respiratory symptoms, such as coughing or shortness of breath, the researchers explained.\nA study showed the results that some of the COVID-19 infected patients experienced gastrointestinal symptoms, especially diarrhea as the first sign of the disease.\nMeanwhile, volunteer patients in the study did not develop respiratory symptoms at all or only appear later in life as advanced symptoms.\nThe American Journal of Gastroenterology Publication\nThe research findings printed in The American Journal of Gastroenterology on Monday (30/3/2020) are important because some patients do not have the classic symptoms of COVID-19 such as coughs, shortness of breath, and fever.\nBecause of the absence of such classical symptoms, not least undiagnosed and potentially spreading the disease to others.\nHowever, researchers noted that common digestive problems occur and do not necessarily mean that a person suffers from a COVID-19.\nMeanwhile, medical personnel should be aware that the sudden gastrointestinal symptoms in people with the possibility of contact COVID-19 should at least be immediately considered as one of the main symptoms.\nNew England Journal of Medicine Publication\nThere are still many experts learn about Covid-19. For example, one study of viruses published in the New England Journal of Medicine in February 2020 found that diarrhea was not a major symptom of this virus.\nAfter analyzing the main signs of Covid-19 in 1,099 patients in China, they concluded that fever and cough are the most common. This study specifically mentions nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea as possible regular symptoms.\nRead also: The Causes of Frequent Bowel Movements\nAnother study mentioned that patients with digestive symptoms showed more evidence of problems in the liver and blood blockages than those who had no such symptoms.\nThe United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adds nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea to their online self-check of the corona virus. The CDC defines diarrhea as a process of defecation (bowel movements) that occurs three or more times in 24 hours or in an unusual amount.\nPeter Chin–Hong, MD, an infectious disease specialist in San Francisco, California, said that if there is blood coming out during the bowel movements, it could be a sign there is something serious about to happen in your body and should be checked immediately to the doctor.\nIn the meantime, Niket Sonpal, MD, Board Certified NYC Internist and Gastroenterologist, who were not involved in this study, explained this was an important finding because of its fact in the early stages of the outbreak in China, Iran, and later Italy, in most cases, lower respiratory symptoms occur. Meanwhile, diarrhea is seen in some cases, although not as much a case of dry cough and fever.\nBased on some of the studies above, although diarrhea is not a major symptom of COVID-19, diarrhea can be a mild symptom of corona virus infection\nSo, the answer of the question, Is Diarrhea a Symptom of Corona Virus? is Yes.\nSo, If you experience this, especially in recent situations, you may need to consider isolating yourself, especially if there are other common symptoms of Covid-19.\nThe CDC also suggests that people who are sick disinfected the bathroom after using it to avoid other family members from being infected through bodily fluids.\nThank you very much for reading Is Diarrhea a Symptom of Corona Virus?

Probably no blog post tomorrow – my company is hosting a charity golf course for most of the day, and then I’m going to see my daughter in a performance of Alice in Wonderland (she’s the door mouse). Until Tuesday …\nBooks and Scrolls\nClay Tablet: A tablet made of clay (terracotta) and either fired in a kiln to make it permanent, or simply erased if to be recycled. Writing on a clay tablet was done with a reed using cuneiform characters. A typical, large tablet weighs 15 pounds. Clay tablets cannot holds spells of more than 1st level.\nBamboo Scroll: A bamboo scroll is a collection of long, narrow bamboo slips joined together with thread. Each slip can hold dozens of pictographs. When joined together, the slips can be rolled like a scroll. Because these scrolls were heavy, they were replaced upon the invention of paper. A typical scroll weighs 10 pounds and can hold any level of spell, with such spell scrolls weighing 2 pounds per spell level so inscribed.\nPapyrus Scroll: Papyrus is a thick, paper-like material produced from the pith of the papyrus plant, a wetland reed. Papyrus was cheap, but could not be folded, and thus had to be used in large, heavy scrolls. Papyrus is fragile and susceptible to damage from moisture and dryness, and it presented an uneven surface for writing unless of the very highest quality. Papyrus was abandoned for parchment by the 12th century, with Papal Bulls being some of the last things written on papyrus. Papyrus is manufactured by stripping the outer rind of the stem and cutting the interior into strips. The strips are laid side by side, horizontally. Another layer is then added atop the first, placed side by side vertically. While still moist, the two layers are hammered together. The sheet is then dried under pressure. After drying, the sheet is polished with a stone, shell or piece of wood. A typical scroll is assumed to weigh 25 pounds, with much of the weight coming from the rollers. Scrolls can hold spells of any level and should weigh approximately 5 pounds per spell level.\nBook: A typical medieval book weighed between 40 and 165 lb. The Codex Gigas, for example, was 3.2 feet long, 20 inches wide and weighed 165 pounds. A rare Hebrew manuscript contained 1,042 pages and weighed 57 pounds. Given these dimensions, we can pretend that a basic book weighs 0.5 ounces per page, while a large tome weighs twice that much and provides twice as much surface for writing. A sheet of paper or parchment was called a bifolium, being a single folio folded in half to produce two leaves. Books were often bound between two thin sheets of wood that were covered by leather. When books were rare (i.e. before the printing press) they were often chained to desks.\nQuire = 24 folio\nReam = 20 quires = 480 folio\nBundle = 2 reams = 960 folio\nBale = 5 bundles = 4,800 folio\nBooks can be printed on one of several mediums:\nParchment: Made from the skin of sheep, goats, deer and other animals. The parchmenter begins the process by selecting a disease and tick-free animal. The animal’s skin is washed thoroughly and soaked in a vat of water and lime for about a week, stirring several times a day with a wooden pole. The pelt is removed and laid over a curved, upright shield of wood. The hair is scraped out using a long, curved knife with a wooden handle on each end. The dehaired pelt is then rinsed in cold water for two more days to remove the lime. The skin is dried while stretched on a frame. The skin is secured to the frame by pushing pebbles into the skin every inch or so to make knobs, to which strings were tied. It was not uncommon to see holes in finished parchments where tiny tears made in the scraping process were stretched out in the stretching process. The parchmenter now ladles hot water over the stretched skin while scraping with another curved knife called a lunellum. The parchment is finally allowed to dry completely, shrinking and tightening as it does. Once dry, the scraping begins anew. Finally, the parchment can be removed and rolled up for transportation or sale. A scribe would purchase the parchment in this condition, cutting it to his desired size and buffing it before use with chalk. Parchment sheets were usually sold by the dozen.\nVellum: High quality parchment made from calf skin.\nPaper: Made from plant pulp, fibers, rags or cellulose.

I introduced The Way to Happiness to the Center after I saw it mentioned in a professional journal, she says. I was impressed with the way it provided the specific information the kids needed to turn around their lives.\nThe The Way to Happiness which Segura refers to is a pocket-sized booklet containing 21 precepts comprising all of the basic, time-honored and common sense morals of a sound society. Each precept is explained with brief text.\nAlthough these children come from very difficult situations, once they have been exposed to The Way to Happiness, they are able to make good choices, says Segura. It is written in a style that is very simple and clear. It gives the children enough understanding to overcome peer pressure and environment or familial situations that would have them otherwise make the wrong decisions.\nSegura takes the students through each precept of the booklet in depth, and observes that the children realize aspects of their lives that they can change. The children then visit elementary schools in the area, under a program called the Student Experience Exchange (SEE), using The Way to Happiness to set a good example one of the precepts in the booklet.\nStudents in the SEE program tell younger students, I want to make sure you dont make the same bad choices that I made, and Im going to tell you why, says Segura. The students have already worked out why in reading and applying principles from The Way to Happiness.\nIt is truly amazing. My students have the undivided attention of the younger ones, Segura states. The program has given my kids self-esteem and confidence, a sense of value.\nThe Center started the The Way to Happiness program with 5th-grade students, but according to Segura, the demand from the teachers was so great that they extended the program to all elementary grades.\nStudents contribute to a variety of other community projects, such as collecting food and clothing for the disadvantaged, and visiting the elderly. Segura finds that the kids will volunteer if they know what good will result.\nThe Way to Happiness has also been included in the activities of a family counseling group within the district, in which the hearing officer mandates a precept from The Way to Happiness as the focus for a specific community service project. An example of such a precept, according to Segura, is the one to be competent.\nEach precept is so fundamental that it encompasses many areas of life. I can see it blossom, Segura says. The booklet has generated a lot of interest. The program for teaching morals that was in place before just was not working.\nsmall revolution is occurring in part of the San Antonio, Texas school system, spearheaded by the Harlendale Alternative Center for at-risk kids. Three hundred and fifty 6th 12th grade students sent to the Center as the result of disciplinary hearings have been undergoing radical shifts in their outlook in just six to nine weeks.\nMaking the Right Decisions\nOver the past few decades, the teaching of morals in schools has been on a rapid decline, replaced by more modern psychological and psychiatric-based teachings which stress that kids figure out their morals and values on their own. (See also Disorienting a Generation,.)\nThe teaching of morals in schools has been frowned upon by some educators because of religious implications since morals have traditionally been linked to religion even if the morals being taught in schools are not religious in content.\nWith the The Way to Happiness, Segura says, the students are making choices and decisions about values. Knowing how to do so is basically a human right, not a religious issue.\nAfter four years of implementing The Way to Happiness program, the Harlendale Alternative Center was awarded first place for the 1998/1999 school year in the national Set a Good Example contest which uses the booklet.\nEvery now and then I meet or find out about one of our graduates from the program. I just came out of the hospital, for instance, recounts Segura, where I bumped into a graduate. He had returned to school and completed his studies, and then found a job at the hospital.\nThe Way to Happiness Set a Good Example Contest is conducted by the Concerned Businessmens Association of America (CBAA), a national organization which encourages private sector business owners and individuals to take action if they are unhappy about the $200 billion that declining moral values amoung our youth is costing the economy each year.\nBased on countless results in elementary, middle and high schools, and in special education settings like that of the Harlendale Alternative Center, the CBAAs lifeblood for the two decades of its existence has been the single program to implement The Way to Happiness booklet in different settings in society.\nAfter 15 years of running the Set a Good Example school contest, more than 12 million students in America have been reached with The Way to Happiness in nearly 11,000 schools.\nThe program has received hundreds of awards and recognitions from mayors, governors, congressmen and senators. In a 1994 study conducted in schools using The Way to Happiness materials, 85% of the teachers noticed positive changes in their pupils and 88% of the students felt they had gained from the booklet; 97% of the teachers wanted to continue with the program and 77% of the students said they used the precepts in their everyday lives.\nWith almost 51 million grade-school children and 108,520 schools in America, there is still some way to go, but consider the effect on society of the millions of students who are graduating with a solid grounding in morals.\nAn Amite, Louisiana high school principal gave an idea of that power when she said, We are still reaping the rewards of having been involved in the Set a Good Example program. The seventh graders who began the program at our school are now graduating seniors who have distinguished themselves in all areas, including academics, athletics, drama, music and leadership roles. They have established goals and have a well-developed work ethic. They truly represent the ideals ... of the Set a Good Example project.\nThe moral seems to be that if one treats children with dignity, recognizes their goodness, and shows them what to do, one receives good in return. If children dont know the rules of the game, are coerced with drugs, coddled with confusing counseling and left with the idea that they should decide for themselves what is right or wrong, then confusion, at best, results.\nOne 8th grade student on the The Way to Happiness program put it this way: If adults set a good example for us, then we learn to set a good example for younger kids. Who else do we have to look up to for help in our lives? If young people are going to do great things, then they need great examples.\nAn Idea Whose Time Has Come\nIt may seem remarkable to some that a small booklet with a common sense moral code could create such positive effects. The power of an idea whose time has come cannot be disputed. The desire for an effective moral education is on the minds of teachers, parents and politicians throughout the country. A poll of parents showed that 79% were in favor of public schools teaching morals, which they rated second in importance only to writing and speaking skills.\nWith 53 million copies distributed in 57 countries and in 22 languages since it was first released 18 years ago by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, this little booklet is proving to be an easy and effective answer to the enormously complex problems that result when a society parts company with its moral code.\nThe Way to Happiness Foundation, which oversees the distribution of the booklet around the world, also runs programs in U.S. schools. More than 2,000 schools have participated to date. One such program is the annual Creating a Better World essay contest, asking children to write about how they feel particular precepts should be implemented to improve society. Not surprisingly, children have had much to say about where our society is going.\nOne 13-year-old girl showed The Way to Happiness to her friends, who had been drinking, stealing, taking drugs, being promiscuous, and had dropped out of school and been in trouble with the police several times. They realized how much harm they were doing and weaned themselves off the drugs, stopped drinking and eventually quit everything else they were doing that was illegal and immoral. The precept Do Not Do Anything Illegal saved my friends lives, and mine. Now we read and use all the precepts every day. We are spreading The Way to Happiness to everyone, and one by one, creating a better world, the student wrote.\nA 15-year-old boy with a remarkable flair for writing stated, There is a place where violence is commonplace and expected much as unpleasant weather. Where nothing is thought of armed robbery. Where narcotics and hallucinogens are sold like newspapers. Where the only safe haven can be found in alliance with a group of armed and hardened people who are forever defending and conspiring against other affiliations. Where brutal crimes are punished by temporary confinement measured in hours, or black marks on ones record, or not at all. This fence-and-metal-detector-encircled institution is the high school. In this environment, the individual student is liable to fall back to very primitive philosophies to survive, in place of the morals that were never taught. The governments solution is to build vandal-proof drinking fountains. We must bring students the morals in The Way to Happiness. We must bring them today. For without them, the future is dark.\nThe CBAA and The Way to Happiness Foundation also direct additional projects using The Way to Happiness to address the subjects of drugs, crime, violence and gang life, most of which are run in coordination with family service agencies, police departments and delinquency prevention groups.\nWhile it is best to start moral education early on in life, it is not too late for the 1.8 million Americans in jail a figure expected to rise to 3.5 million over the next five years who went through school without the benefit of a workable Morals 101.\nThe Way to Happiness booklet has also been finding its way into prisons and judges chambers. Where 80 percent of released offenders are behind bars again within a year, between 80 and 98.5 percent of those who have completed a The Way to Happiness program designed for inmates stay honest and straight after release. The prison program using The Way to Happiness is run by Criminon, an international criminal rehabilitation group. Currently, 2,250 prisons in the U.S. are participating in the program.\nAs contained in Precept Four of The Way to Happiness, Bringing a child into the world today is a little bit like dropping one into a tigers cage. But, as the author also later stated, If people... could give each other a way to happiness, yes, the world would change. Think what would occur if people became decent to one another again!\nWith a simple booklet like The Way to Happiness, and programs to implement it such as the Concerned Businessmans Association of Americas Set A Good Example Contest and The Way to Happiness Foundations Creating a Better World Essay Contest, the distinct possibility exists that educators and parents can rapidly alter the direction schools and society have taken over the last few decades, and create the kind of world we would all rather live in.\nThe Way to Happiness program has given my kids self-esteem and confidence, a sense of value.\nHarlendale Alternative Center\nFor further information on The Childrens Set a Good Example Campaign and School Contest, contact Concerned Businessmens Association of America (CBAA) at 13428 Maxella Avenue No. 248, Marina del Rey, California 90292.

It is here that he became acquainted with the theory and design of two and three-phase induction (asynchronous) motors operating on the rotating magnetic field principle.\nInvited by András Mechwart, the general manager of the Ganz Factories Group, he returned home in 1898 and, under his leadership, the experiments relating to the first series of three-phase motors were started. As a result of this, the first example of the F series was completed in 1895.\nIt is in 1896 that, by using a 1000 mm gauge test track, the experiments with a 500 V, 15 Hz two-phase electric carriage started. These experiments determined the activity of technical historical importance that Kandó performed in the field of AC railway traction.\nAt that time, no electric traction existed suitable for the standard-gauge railways that were exclusively steam operated, due to the lack of an electric locomotive operating at a voltage significantly higher than that used then. It was Kálmán Kandó who created a locomotive of this type first. Based on the plans developed under the leadership of and using the calculations performed by Kandó, the Ganz Factory undertook the electrification of the 106 km Valtellina railway in North-Italy between 1898 and 1902. The success rested on the selection of the line voltage of 3000 V, which was significantly (4 to 5 times) higher than that used earlier. However, such a high voltage required electric motors and switching devices of proper design; indeed, the successful electrification of the Valtellina railway was based on the technical solutions of these new structural elements.\nThe favourable traction results of the locomotives planned by Kandó lay in the excellent parameters of the motors calculated by him. In fact, he selected the dimensions and utilised the active materials in a manner that, due to the high saturation of iron cores and the low magnetic leakage, the motors were less sensitive to the line voltage variations and, as a result of the high short-circuit current, they were capable of exerting high torque.\nIncited by the success achieved with the Valtellina railway, the Italian Government established the factory named Societa Italiana Westinghouse in 1905, and invited Kandó to undertake the management of this factory and the planning of the three-phase locomotives. His activity in Italy resulted in the development of a series of locomotives used for freight trains and mountain passenger trains.\nIn spring 1915, Kandó returned home and occupied a post at the railway department of the general staff in Vienna. It is here that he formulated the basic principle, since then world-wide accepted, that the electrification of standard-gauge railways is reasonable only if they can be connected, by means of simple transformer substations, directly to the standardised frequency national power system.\nThe last results obtained by Kandó were the electric locomotives provided with frequency converters, put in service in 1928.\nMemberships: Honorary doctor of the József Technical University (1922), member of the Upper House of Parliament (1927), correspondent member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (1927).\nHonours: Wahrmann-prize, Corvin Wreath, Order of the Italian Crown.", "label": "No"} {"text": "Baseball is a sport with a tremendous amount of quantitative batting data being generated from batting averages, slugging percentages, and numbers of hits, walks, strike outs and a host of others. In particular, batting is an activity that has rigorous demands for eye-hand coordination requiring concentration and good visual acuity as well as depth perception. There is general agreement that vision training is beneficial to various sports related activities but an objective and quantifiable assessment validating the concept is relatively lacking in the literature . The time it takes for a pitched ball to reach the plate is approximately 0.4 seconds. In that time the batter needs to spot the pitch, assess rotation and direction of the ball to finally make a decision to swing or not . When swinging the bat the batter must consider both the timing of the swing and the angle of the swing. The swing takes approximately 0.2 seconds . With the velocity of action potentials being approximately 60 m/s and approximately 2 mS needed to cross each synapse, and a minimum of 5 synapses crossed that means it can take as long as 0.03 seconds to process the swing. Therefore, there remains only about 0.17 seconds to decide to swing. As a physical activity batting is ideal for assessing and quantifying the benefits and affects of high performance vision training.\nThis program was designed for the University of Cincinnati baseball team and was reviewed by Institutional Review Board and was compliant with all human subjects rules. Similar programs have been developed by Nike Sparq system. Three times a week they performed two one minute sessions on the athletes. The reason for doing multiple sessions is to demonstrate consistency and improvement with the tests. The staged and progressive nature of the tests also helps keep the athletes engaged. Tachistoscope, Brock String, Eyeport, Rotary, Strobe Glasses, Near Far Training, and Saccades.\nThe Dynavision is a eye-hand coordination device that tests and improves visual motor skills . The off the shelf, *A training session is an established Dynavision protocol . It uses traditional eye-hand reaction training to assess visual fields and improve reaction times. This training drill takes one minute. The result is a number of hits in one minute as well as the average reaction time for each hit.\nThe Tachistoscope is a device that trains the brain to recognize images faster, and loosely correlates to batting average . We flash numbers on a screen, typically starting with 1 number at 0.25 seconds, gradually adding more numbers [up to 4] randomly placed on the screen, and also including different backgrounds at increasingly faster flashes. We also start with simple contrasts such as black on white and make them increasingly more difficult such as darker green letters on a lighter green background. This is called contrast sensitivity and is very effective in training an athlete to recognize objects in his visual field faster.\nThe Brock string is a classic visual training aid that uses a string and colored balls . Ours was an eight foot string with 5 colored balls. Typically the athlete would have the nearest end of the string by their nose and have it extend away from them parallel to the ground. The athlete needs to focus on the balls, set along the 8” string, back and forth for 1 minute. This requires adaption and convergence of the eyes to find and focus on the balls. The exercise conditions the eye and lens muscles to quickly make adjustments.\nThe rotary (Bernell Corporation of Mishawaka, IN) is a vision pursuit device that has letters and numbers attached by Velcro. It rotates at increasing speed as the athlete improves the ability to call out and point the laser pointer at the appropriate letter/number in alphabetical/numerical order. This is done for 1 minute both clockwise and counterclockwise.\nStrobe glasses are LED lenses that flash and completely block the signal to the eyes as objects are in motion . They are set to flash more rapidly in the initial training stages and are gradually slowed up as the athlete gets adapted to the training. The slower the interval, the more difficult the task due to less visual input due to the LED’s interruptions. The brain is forced to visualize where the pitch is going by processing the information it gets from the eyes faster. It is used for batting practice and the effect is that batters report that the pitch seems to be moving slower and they can pick up the ball coming out of the pitchers hand easier.\nSaccades are rapid movement of both eyes in the same direction from one object to another voluntarily . We set charts of random letters on a wall, both horizontally and vertically and had the players stand at varying distances and focus from one chart to another, calling out the letters they see in order on a line, alternating from one chart to another for a period of 1 minute. This is done in many forms such as looking over and alternating shoulders after looking forward at another chart. This simulates a fielder chasing a hit ball.\nNear Far Training\nNear far training consists of the subject focusing on two different cards approximately 18 inches and 10 feet away . The athletes focus back and forth on the card and count how many iterations they can do. The cards have rows of random letters so that they have to track their progress in a similar fashion to the Saccades.", "label": "No"} {"text": "The worldwide seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) has changed over the last two decades, indicating a declining incidence of HAV and HBV infections. from three countries (A, B from Korea; C, D from Japan; and E from the USA), and trough titers in plasma were estimated.

DISCUSSION This is the first comprehensive study to evaluate and compare the concentrations of antibodies against HAV and HBV in commercial IVIG products from Korea and other countries. Most of the IVIG products in this study contained sufficient antibodies against HAV and HBV to protect PAD patients from HAV and HBV infections through IVIG replacement therapy. Commercial IVIG products are produced from a pool of plasma samples collected from 10,000C40,000 donors and contain millions of different IgGs (24). The constituent pathogen-specific antibodies in IVIG may vary according to the cumulative exposure to the infections and vaccination status of the donor population. The IVIG products in this study were manufactured by Korean, Japanese, and USA companies using plasma collected from their respective Rabbit Polyclonal to EFNA2. local populations. The incidence of HAV infection has declined in Korea, Japan, and the USA. Consequently, the seroprevalence of anti-HAV antibodies has recently been reported to be low among people under the age of 40.\nWe reviewed details from a US pharmacy benefits supervisor data source from 2004 through 2005 during intervals with small influenza activity. and adamantanes such as amantadine and rimantadine (2).

In 2005 concern was portrayed in the medical books about feasible personal stockpiling AZD8330 of NIs for make use of during an influenza pandemic (5). We undertook this research to consider proof oseltamivir stockpiling to comprehend the magnitude from the practice also to discern who was simply getting and prescribing these medications. We collaborated using a pharmacy benefits administration firm to examine antiviral prescriptions AZD8330 and oseltamivir prescription completing america during calendar weeks 36-44 in 2004 and 2005. These weeks had been chosen because that they had small influenza activity in either calendar year and because reviews of oseltamivir stockpiling happened during this time period in 2005 (6–9). The scholarly research We used a data source from Medco Wellness Solutions Inc. (Franklin Lakes AZD8330 NJ USA) a pharmacy benefits administration company portion >50 million US associates. From ADRBK2 January 2002 through Might 2006 We examined filled prescriptions for oseltamivir by associates. Obtainable member data included demographic information medication dispensed prescriber pharmacy and identification dispensing history. Member-level historical pharmacy dispensing data had been utilized to assign associates into persistent disease classifications (10). Prescribers were cross-referenced with an American Medical Association member data source to determine years and area of expertise since medical college graduation. We could actually cross-reference 64% of prescribing doctors by area of expertise and years since medical college AZD8330 graduation. The Centers for Disease Control and Avoidance (Atlanta GA USA) driven that institutional review plank approval had not been necessary for this research because we received aggregated data that was private and not discovered. To assess mass media insurance we queried the LexisNexis US Information data source (www.lexisnexis.com) for total regular news reviews from August 1 2003 through August 30 2006 discussing avian influenza and oseltamivir. Regular virologic data in the Globe Health Company and Country wide Respiratory and Enteric Trojan Surveillance Program collaborating laboratories had been utilized to assess US influenza activity during 2004 and 2005 (6 7). Oseltamivir prescription prices had been computed per 100 0 enrolled associates and per 1 0 prescribing doctors. Binomial distributions had been used to estimation variances for prices. Relative price ratios (RRs) and 95% self-confidence intervals (CIs) had been computed for 2004 and 2005 data. AZD8330 P beliefs <0.05 were considered significant statistically. Analyses had been performed with SAS edition 9.0 statistical software program (SAS Institute Cary NC USA). Regular prices of loaded prescriptions for oseltamivir and percentage of examples positive for influenza from Oct 1 2002 through June 1 2006 had been temporally associated prior to the 2005-06 influenza period (Amount 1). Through the fall of 2005 prescriptions for oseltamivir elevated without an linked upsurge in the percentage of examples examining positive for influenza. On the other hand through the same period there is a temporal romantic relationship between every week oseltamivir prescription prices and media reviews of avian influenza and oseltamivir (Amount 1).

This makes them better suited for handling, while 195 tires are better for grip and stability.\nIf you’re wondering what the difference is between 185 and 195 tires, you’re not alone. These two sizes are very similar, but there are some key distinctions that you should be aware of. Here’s a quick breakdown of the main differences between 185 and 195 tires:\n185 tires are typically narrower than 195 tires. This means that they provide less contact with the road, which can lead to reduced traction. 195 tires are wider than 185 tires.\nThis gives them better grip on the road, making them ideal for high-performance driving. 185 tires have a lower load index than 195 tires. This means that they can’t carry as much weight as their larger counterparts.\n195 tires have a higher load index than 185 tires. This allows them to carry more weight, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications.\n185/65R15 or 195/65R15 which one to choose? Don't Worry we have got all your answers\nDifference between 185/65R15 And 195/55R15\nWhen it comes to choosing the right tires for your car, there are a lot of factors to consider. One important factor is the size of the tire. Two common sizes for passenger vehicles are 185/65R15 and 195/55R15.\nSo, what’s the difference between these two sizes? The first number in each size (185 and 195) refers to the width of the tire in millimeters. The second number (65 and 55) is the aspect ratio, which tells you how tall the sidewall is relative to the width.\nThe R in each size means that it’s a radial tire. And finally, the 15 refers to the diameter of the wheel that it will fit on (in inches). Generally speaking, wider tires provide better traction and stability, while taller tires offer a smoother ride.\nSo, if you’re looking for better performance, go with a wider tire like 185/65R15. If you prioritize comfort over everything else, then a taller tire like 195/55R15 would be a better choice.\nCan I Use 195 Tire Instead of 185?\nIf you’re looking to upgrade your tires, you may be wondering if you can use a 195 tire instead of a 185. The answer is yes, you can use a 195 tire in place of a 185, but there are a few things to keep in mind.\nFirst, a 195 tire is wider than a 185 tire.\nThis means that it will stick out further from the side of your car. If you’re not careful, this could lead to the tires rubbing against the inside of your wheel well when turning or going over bumps. Second, because the 195 tire is wider, it will also have a different rolling circumference than the 185 tire.\nThis means that your speedometer and odometer will no longer be accurate. You’ll need to recalibrate them to account for the difference in size. Third, wider tires typically don’t handle as well as narrower ones.\nThey’re more likely to slip and slide in wet or icy conditions. And they may make your car feel less stable at high speeds. So if you’re thinking about upgrading to 195s, just be aware that there are some trade-offs involved.\nWhat Does the 195 Mean on a Tire?\nThe 195 on a tire indicates the width of the tire in millimeters. This is measured from sidewall to sidewall, and does not include the diameter of the wheel. The width of a tire affects many factors including traction, handling, and fuel economy.\nA wider tire will typically have more grip than a narrower tire, but may sacrifice some fuel economy and handling due to increased rolling resistance.\nIs It Better to Have Wider Or Taller Tires?\nThere is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, such as the type of vehicle you are driving and your personal driving preferences. That said, there are some general pros and cons to both wider and taller tires that you may want to consider before making a decision.\nWider tires generally provide better traction and stability, especially when cornering or driving in wet conditions.\nThey also tend to wear down more slowly than narrower tires. On the downside, wider tires can be more expensive and may not fit into certain wheel wells. They can also cause increased road noise.\nTaller tires typically offer a smoother ride due to their increased contact with the road surface. They can also improve fuel economy by reducing rolling resistance. However, tall tires can be more susceptible to punctures and may require frequent replacement due to the higher amount of tread they have in contact with the ground.\nCan I Use 185 65R15 Instead of 195 55R15?\nThere are a few things to consider when deciding if you can use a 185/65R15 tire in place of a 195/55R15 tire. First, the 185/65R15 is 1.4 inches taller and 0.8 inches wider than the 195/55R15. Second, the 185/65R15 has a weaker sidewall than the 195/55R15.\nThird, the 185/65R15 has a different load index and speed rating than the 195/55R15. The load index is a measure of how much weight the tire can safely carry; the higher the number, the greater the weight capacity. The speed rating is an indication of how fast the tire can go without deteriorating; again, higher numbers indicate greater speeds.\nThe load index and speed rating for each tire are listed on their respective sidewalls; for example, a195/55R15 would be rated 91H while a185/65r14 would be rated 86T. Given these differences, it’s not recommended to use a185/65r14 in place ofa195s 55r16 – doing so could jeopardize your safety on the road.\n185 and 195 tires are both considered to be wide-body tires. The main difference between the two is that 185 tires have a wider tread width than 195 tires. This means that 185 tires will provide better grip and traction on wet or icy roads.\nThey also tend to last longer than 195 tires.", "label": "No"} {"text": "White Sands Missile Range News Release\n2008 June 12\nIt was a learning experience for students and former students from Fredericksburg High School when they launched an experimental rocket out of West Center 50 at White Sands Missile Range May 31.\nThe rocket, which had been designed and built by the students, had been in development since 2000. The Rocket, called the Redbird 11, carried a scientific payload skyward before suffering a mechanical failure and falling back to Earth. “It was a powerful launch, you could hear it and feel it,” said Bret Williams, an instructor with the Aerospace Studies program. It’s suspected that the Redbird 11’s engine oxidizer system failed, causing the rocket to crash.\nThe rocket was one of two launches attempted May 31. Both rockets are liquid fueled rockets equipped with scientific payloads. A previous attempt to launch the Redbird 10 and 11 last August failed when both rockets had engine trouble and were not able to generate enough thrust to launch.\nThe Redbird 11 had a target altitude of 93,000 feet, where it was to deploy a small satellite. The satellite, designed by Stanford’s Space Systems and Development Laboratory, was equipped with a GPS system, cameras, and other data collection devices. The purpose of the satellite was to collect data as technical demonstration of Stanford’s capabilities. The satellite did not survive the crash. Some components, such as the engine exhaust nozzle and some parts of the tail section, were recovered.\nRedbird 10, which the students also attempted to launch May 31, carried a payload designed by students at Purdue University. Redbird 10’s payload was to study fluid dynamic in micro gravity. The goal of the payload was to discover new ways of moving propellant from a storage tank to an engine. Data collected from the attempts made in August gave the students insight into what went wrong, which they used to redesign the rocket for the May 31 launch. “We had to totally regutt the rocket for this,” said Rebekah Sosland, a senior at Fredericksburg who worked on the nosecone and integration on the Redbird 11, and hopes to one day work for NASA.\nConstructing rockets of this type can be a challenging process for professionals and students alike and designing and developing the rockets was not without its challenges. “(The Stanford team) being in California and us in Texas, it was hard to make sure that everything fit and all the measurements and calculations matched,” said Sosland. Though more challenging than the typical high school physics class, The Aerospace Studies program gives the students actual developmental experience, making them not only learn the science behind aerospace engineering, but also learn how to implement it. Robert Deaver, a former student who was in the very first year of the program in 1996 and 97, and is now working on his master’s degree at the University of Tennessee, said he feels the program better prepared him for his master’s work. “An undergraduate degree focuses on math and books, this focuses on application and problem solving, and that helps very much with research and experiments,” Deaver said.\nThis story was originally titled \"Students Launch Experimental Rocket at WSMR\".\nHome | Site Map | Search | About | Contact\nCopyright © 2008, Brian Webb.

This week’s topic is : The Case of the Man with the Weak Arm Albert, a seventy-two year old African-American man, is brought into the emergency room by his daughter. Approximately 45 minutes before arriving, Albert dropped his book when his right arm and hand “fell asleep”. When he tried to rise, he noticed his right leg was weak and he needed to hold onto the couch to stand up. He had a difficult time talking because the right side of his face and mouth were “numb” and his tongue felt “thick”. In obtaining a medical and family history it was noted that Albert has smoked at least 1 pack of cigarettes per day for the last 40 years and both of his parents died of strokes when they were in their mid sixties. He has previously been diagnosed with both essential hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. He admits to “skipping” his anti-hypertensive medication because of the unpleasant side effects it causes. Albert notes that he has been experiencing short (5 10 minutes) incidences of weakness on his right side, but he attributed this to the position he was in, causing his arm or leg to “fall asleep”. He has also noticed that he is having mild headaches, but recently, these have been less frequent. Physical examination indicated that Albert was alert and anxious, but his speech was slurred. He was afebrile, had a respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute, a regular heart rate of 86 beats per minute and a blood pressure of 190/120 mm Hg. Albert had no irregular heart sounds and presented with slight bilateral edema of the ankles. Examination of the nervous system indicated intact tactile sensory function, decreased strength of the right extremities, a diminished gag reflex, diminished right deep tendon reflexes, and right facial droop. Based on these symptoms the emergency room physician suspected a thrombolytic stroke and immediately ordered a head CT scan and various blood tests. The physician also discussed the relative benefits and risks of various treatments and courses of action with Albert and his daughter. Albert was given aspirin for possible thrombosis and a b-blocking anti-hypertensive and his condition was monitored closely while awaiting the test results. Results of the laboratory tests indicated hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, normal blood clotting times and platelet numbers. In addition, the head CT was normal. Despite the treatments initiated, Alberts condition continued to deteriorate. While his blood pressure decreased to 170/84 mm Hg, his heart rate was elevated to 100 beats per minute and became irregular. He continued to demonstrate decreased sensation on his right side, slight dysarthria, and further decreases in strength in both right extremities. Based on these results, treatment with plasminogen activator was initiated and an electrocardiogram (ECG) was conducted. The results of the ECG indicated atrial flutter. After 5 hours, Alberts condition improved to the point that the hemiparesis and dysarthria were at baseline levels and his blood pressure was stabilized at 156/70 mm Hg. Further treatments were then initiated to stabilize Alberts atrial flutter and hypertension. He was given digoxin, which stabilized the atrial flutter and heart rate at 80 beats per minute and an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor was prescribed for the hypertension. An echo-cardiogram indicated bilateral stenosis of the carotid arteries. Anti-thrombolytic therapy (325 mg aspirin/day) was also prescribed. Albert was encouraged to stop smoking and to modify his diet and was discharged. What symptoms suggested that Albert was having a stroke? What risk factors did Albert present which would support the symptoms observed? Why does Alberts treatment include aspirin?", "label": "No"}
