The origin and history of the music box The box itself was wooden, generally undecorated, and could be opened to observe the cylinder as it turned. The origin and history of the music box Sankyo themselves used them early in musical key rings and later in figurines. Also, by tilting the cylinder at the end of a song, accessing a different set of pins, more than one tune could be played on the same comb in the box. music box music Recently, it has started selling licences for its musical-box tunes to cellular phone companies, for use as ring tones. The music box was probably invented about in Switzerland. What happened after WW11 is the basis for my collection. music box diy Reuge's collection and use of each type of data is described below, as well as the ways if any in which the data may be shared with third parties. Common sizes are 5. Music box instrument Also, firms could create these disks faster, giving consumers the chance to easily purchase the latest tunes from their favorite composers. As a result, most of the Swiss companies stopped business, as labor costs in Asia are a fraction of those in Switzerland. There were also a few manufacturers in Bohemia and Germany. Cartels Cartel Music Boxes are more complicated in their construction than the above mentioned movements. The "butterfly" air brake is more intricate than those used in other movements. Both variations were as tall as a grandfather clock and both used interchangeable large disks to play different sets of tunes. The disc movements are very easy to use and facilitate the setting up of a library of tunes, so that it is easy to complete one's collection at all times.

Do the different colors or pigments matter in terms of how light energy is absorbed Wavelengths of light and photosynthetic pigments (article 1. The set of wavelengths absorbed by a pigment is its absorption spectrum. In the diagram below, you can see the absorption spectra of three key pigments in photosynthesis: chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and β-carotene. The set of wavelengths that a pigment doesn't absorb are reflected, and the reflected light is what we see as color 2. Pigments are created by modifying which colors are absorbed. Another way to make colors is to absorb some of the frequencies of light, and thus remove them from the white light combination. The absorbed colors are the ones you don't see -- you see only the colors that come bouncing back to your eye 3. Answer: Pigments are colorful compounds. More important than their reflection of light is the ability of pigments to absorb certain wavelengths. Because they interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants and other autotrophs --organisms which make their own food using photosynthesis Absorption of Light Light energy enters the process of photosynthesis when pigments absorb the light. In plants, pigment molecules absorb only visible light for photosynthesis. The visible light seen by humans as white light actually exists in a rainbow of colors Transparent materials are materials that allow one or more of the frequencies of visible light to be transmitted through them; whatever color (s) is/are not transmitted by such objects, are typically absorbed by them What is the importance of pigments in plants?do the different colors or pigment matter in terms of high light energy is absorbed? - 7874862 1.

Ask your question. cuteko9677 cuteko9677 Yesterday Biology Senior High Schoo Light energy initiates the process of photosynthesis when pigments absorb specific wavelengths of visible light. Organic pigments, whether in the human retina or the chloroplast thylakoid, have a narrow range of energy levels that they can absorb The colors of visible light do not carry the same amount of energy. Violet has the shortest wavelength and therefore carries the most energy, whereas red has the longest wavelength and carries the least amount of energy. Credit: modification of work by NAS Each color of light has different wavelengths, and a different amount of energy. When light strikes an object, its component colors can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed by an object. An object that absorbs all colors appears black A photosynthetic unit absorbs light energy. Red and blue wavelengths of light are absorbed. Green light cannot be absorbed by the chlorophyll and the light is reflected, making the plant appear green. Once the light energy penetrates these pigment molecules, the energy is passed to one chlorophyll molecule, called the reaction center chlorophyll The more light a color absorbs, the more thermal energy it produces. Black fabric absorbs all colors of light and is therefore warmer than white fabric which reflects all colors. I predict that the colors of the spectrum appearing the darkest and most like black (violet, indigo, and forest green) will produce the most thermal energy Light that is absorbed by an object is usually converted into heat energy. The goal of this project is to measure how much heat is produced by the absorption of light by different colors. You'll use an incandescent light (a heat lamp), and water-filled jars wrapped with different colors of construction paper Pigments and Absorption HowStuffWork what is the importance of pigments in plants?do the Light and Pigments - Principles of Biolog Understanding Pigments. Different kinds of pigments exist, and each has evolved to absorb only certain wavelengths (colors) of visible light. Pigments reflect or transmit the wavelengths they cannot absorb, making them appear in the corresponding color Background information: Photosynthesis is the process in which plants go through to produce energy in the form of glucose required to survive. It is a chemical reaction that involves the use of carbon dioxide, water, and light. This process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts that are found in the leaves of the plant Join Rebecca Emerich, Educational Outreach Manager, as she uses everyday objects to explain absorption and reflection of light. With flashlights, filters, le.. The visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is perceived by the human eye as a rainbow of colors, with violet and blue having shorter wavelengths and, therefore, higher energy. At the other end of the spectrum toward red, the wavelengths are longer and have lower energy. Understanding Pigments. Different kinds of pigments exist. Chlorophyll in the plants absorbs light and converts that energy into the forms required for the plant to grow. Since chlorophyll is normally green, it is mainly the blue and red wavelengths in the visible spectrum that would be most strongly absorbed to provide this energy When light waves hit an object, some light is absorbed and some is reflected. White light contains light of different colors and color is determined by wavelength. (when you shine white light through a prism the different wavelengths separate out.) You identify an object as the color it is by the color light it reflects A pigment is a chemical that alters the color of a light wave by selectively absorbing one or more light frequencies. The feathers of a male cardinal are made red by special organic pigments. How does this affect the actual color of a compound? The energy of the various colors in the visible spectrum is different depending upon the color. Energy of visible light increases in the following order: red (low energy), orange yellow, green, blue, violet (high energy). A highly conjugated system then might absorb the lower energy portions. The visible light is literally the colored wavelengths that are visible to your eyes. They range from red, at a wavelength of 700 nm, to blue, at a wavelength of 400 nm. Shorter wavelengths have.. Physics Tutorial: Light Absorption, Reflection, and Figure 1. is a diagram of the structure of chlorophyll and some notes on how it absorbs light energy. Light absorbed by chlorophyll excites the electrons in the ring as shown above. Different wavelengths of light excite the electrons by different amounts (Figure 2) Pigments selectively absorb wavelengths of light. When white light strikes a pigment molecule, there are different processes that can lead to absorption. Conjugated systems of double bonds absorb light in some organic pigments. Inorganic pigments may absorb light by electron transfer Although the chlorophyll pigment captures short (blue) and long (red) wavelengths very well, it does not absorb the middle wavelengths of visible light as effectively. This creates lots of.. In this lab, the color of light isinvestigated. Since the photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast that has chlorophyll, the rateof photosynthesis is affected by the color of light as the amounts of light absorbed in differentcolors of light are all different. The color that has highest influence on photosynthesis is bluewhich is why many. In terms of wavelengths, visible light ranges from about 400 nm to 700 nm. Different wavelengths of light are perceived as different colors. For example, light with a wavelength of about 400 nm is seen as violet, and light with a wavelength of about 700 nm is seen as red. However, it is not typical to see light of a single wavelength A pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color of the pigment comes from when the wavelengths of light are reflected. This means that the color of a pigment comes from the wavelengths that were not absorbed. For example, chlorophyll absorbs all wavelengths of color except for green Colored chemicals absorb and/or emit light in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which has a wavelength of approximately 400 - 700 nm. The color of the absorbed or emitted light depends on the amount of energy the chemical absorbed or emitted. Wavelength and energy are negatively correlated Plants use their green pigments to absorb light energy. When a photon of light hits a chlorophyll molecule, it excites an electron; that is, it puts the electron into a higher energy state To explore light and color, including how colors are mixed to produce new colors, how light is filtered, and how light is reflected off of surfaces. Context Many middle-school students do not think of light as something that travels from one place to another, and most tend to identify light with its source (e.g., light is in the bulb) or its. One reason is that these differently colored pigments absorb different colors of light: by having many pigments, plants can use more of the light energy shining down them A pigment is a molecule that has a particular color and can absorb light at different wavelengths, depending on the color. There are many different types of pigments in nature, but chlorophyll is unique in its ability to enable plants to absorb the energy they need to build tissues As white visible light wavelengths naturally come in contact with matter, the matter (depending on it's type) absorbs a certain amount of light. What isn't absorbed is reflected back and is known.. Mixing together two complementary colors of light will give you white light. What this all means is that if a particular color is absorbed from white light, what your eye detects by mixing up all the other wavelengths of light is its complementary color In terms of the color of the light absorbed, greater energy corresponds to shorter wavelengths. That means that as the splitting increases, the light absorbed will tend to shift away from the red end of the spectrum towards orange, yellow and so on. There is a fairly clear-cut case in copper (II) chemistry 1. Which of the colors absorbed by chlorophyll is seen least? blue 2. What is its approximate wavelength? about 460 nm 3. What percent of light energy absorbed does this peak represent? 85% 4. How much of this color is being reflected? 15% (100-85) 5. What percent of light energy absorbed by chlorophyll does the orange spectrum peak represent. The Light-Dependent Reactions of Photosynthesis Biology 17 1. They say that substances have color because when light waves of all colors hit the substance, the atoms do absorb all the colors, except those that is its color. In addition to absorption, there could be wavelength-dependent scattering e.g. if pigments are present 2. The remaining light will then assume the complementary color to the wavelength (s) absorbed. This relationship is demonstrated by the color wheel shown on the right. Here, complementary colors are diametrically opposite each other. Thus, absorption of 420-430 nm light renders a substance yellow, and absorption of 500-520 nm light makes it red 3. Absorption of light is caused by bringing an electron in a molecule, atom, or ion to a higher energy level. Sugar molecules or the ions in salt require a large amount of energy to do that, so they do not absorb visible light but only light of shorter wavelength—typically ultraviolet light. Blue and Red Dye Click image to enlarg 4. Meanwhile, the carotenoids are absorbing maximally at those wavelengths where chlorophyll does poorly (light blue to green). Once that light energy is absorbed, the carotenoids pass that energy on to a neighboring chlorophyll molecule 5. For instance, wavelength accounts for light's color and how it will interact with matter. The range of wavelengths, from super short to very, very long, is known as the light spectrum. Whatever its wavelength, light will radiate out infinitely unless or until it is stopped. As such, light is known as radiation 11.2: Light Energy and Pigments - Biology LibreText 1. Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts, is an important part of the light-dependent reactions. Chlorophyll soaks up the energy from sunlight. It is also the reason why plants are green. You may remember that colors are different wavelengths of light. Chlorophyll captures red and blue wavelengths of light and reflects the green. 2. Different kinds of pigments exist, and each absorbs only certain wavelengths (colors) of visible light. Pigments reflect the color of the wavelengths that they cannot absorb. All photosynthetic organisms contain a pigment called chlorophyll a , which humans see as the common green color associated with plants 3. g. Red and Green light (i.e., yellow light) is incident on the paper. Blue paper contains pigments capable of absorbing both red and green light (when present). In this case, both red and green light is incident upon the paper and both light colors are absorbed. There is no light color left to be reflected and so the paper is observed to be black 4. a single color or wavelength) hits something, it is absorbed, converting light energy into heat, it is reflected, or it is transmitted. But most of the light students are familiar with is white light, composed of many colors, or wavelengths. When white light hits an object, the object selectively absorbs, reflects or transmits certain wavelengths 5. Human skin does not absorb all wavelengths of light, but it does absorb UV light, which damages the genetic material in skin cells and causes cancer. Because Australia gets a lot of UV light, the people there are more likely to have more damage to the genetic material in their skin cells, and therefore are more likely to get skin cancer More light is absorbed from the short end of the spectrum, hence giving the pigment a red appearance. In aquatic ecosystem, the absorption spectrum of pigments differs due to the presence of water and other organic and dissolved matter (2) the color of light that is reflected by the object. For example, if an object reflects red wavelengths and absorbs all others, the object will appear red in color. Color filters allow only certain colors of light to pass/transmit through them; they absorb or reflect all other colors. For example, a blue filter only transmits blue light Light absorption is a process by which light is absorbed and converted into energy. An example of this process is photosynthesis in plants. However, light absorption doesn't occur exclusively in plants, but in all creatures/inorganic substances. Absorption depends on the electromagnetic frequency of the light and object's nature of atoms chlorophyll in terms of having many conjugated double bonds. Unlike chlorophyll, the pigments in clothes and lipsticks re-radiate the absorbed light as infrared light (heat). However, for a pigment to participate in a light-driven chemical reaction sequence, such as photosynthesis, where the energy of light is effectively transforme Marco Garcia-Vaquero, Gaurav Rajauria, in Fruit Juices, 2018. Total carotenoid content estimation. Plant pigments, a generic term used to designate a large number of colored molecules, can be classified into tetrapyrroles (e.g., chlorophyll) and carotenoids (e.g., β-carotene and xanthophyll).Of the pigments, carotenoids are fat-soluble (lipophilic) natural pigments which are. $\begingroup$ Just one remark that isn't addressed in the existing answers: light of a single wavelength/frequency (called monochromatic) indeed forms a one dimensional space (not a vector space) but it does not contain all colors. It contains the colors of the rainbow, but not for example white or brown. A distribution of intensifies of radiation of different wavelengths is called a spectrum Plants that don't look green still have chlorophyll; all plants do. However, the accessory pigment content is higher in these plants, such that the color reflected is overpowering the green reflected by chlorophyll. Accessory pigments supplement chlorophyll by absorbing light energy from a different part of the spectrum ors of light are absorbed. Students will predict what color an object will appear when light of different colors is shined upon it. Students will predict what color(s) will be produced when different colors of light are mixed. Students will identify the three primary colors and three secondary colors of light The molecule responsible for absorbing light are known as pigments. The kind of pigment doesn't matter as long as the rest of the system is appropriately adapted. Now just think of a forest. There are all kinds of adaptations to alert the amount of light energy absorbed. The integration of different pigments (which reduces competition for. Chloroplasts, Light, and Pigments - Easy Peasy All-in-One Because the color of the leaf is dependent on the mixture of pigments within it, different colored leaves will display different colors on their paper towel strips Light rays are composed of photons whose energy specifies a color from red to violet. The intensity or brightness of the light is defined by the flux, or number of photons passing through a unit area in a unit time; i.e., number of photons per cm 2 per sec Typically, the light produced by a LED is only one color (red or green being strong favorites). Although they are cheap, easy to make, don't cost a lot to run, LEDs are not usually used to light a room, because they cannot normally produce the wide range of different colors needed in white light We already know that as light comes into contact with matter, it may be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. Substances that selectively absorb visible light are called pigments. Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths, and the wavelengths that are absorbed disappear Photosynthetic Efficiency. The energy derived from light absorption is used in particular pathways to achieve the final result of synthesis of sugars. Since the pathways are known, a theoretical maximum efficiency can be calculated. It is known that a total of 8 photons of light must be absorbed to reduce two molecules of NADP +.Operating in the Calvin cycle, the resulting two molecules of. When light energy is visible (with a wavelength between 390 nm and 700 nm), we see it as colored light. Different objects absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light differently - and tattoo inks act the same way. For example, a red tattoo will absorb all of the colors of visible light in exception to red. The tattoo appears red to our. The color of reflected light. Note that so far we are discussing the mixing of different color light, which is an additive process, not the mixing of dyes, pigments, or filters which is a subtractive process. The molecules in dyes and pigments absorb light strongly at some wavelengths and reflect others; colored filters absorb strongly at some. Chlorophyll - Light, Energy, Pigment, and Molecules 1. Mixing Colors of Pigment • Pigments and Color A material that gives a substance its color by absorbing some colors of light and reflecting others is a pigment. • Color Subtraction When you mix pigments together, more colors of light are absorbed or taken away. So, mixing pigments is called color subtraction. • Yellow, cyan, and magenta. 2. These objects do not produce light themselves, but emit color by a process known as color subtraction where certain wavelengths of light are subtracted (absorbed) and others are reflected (as illustrated in Figure 3). For example, a green leaf appears this color under natural sunlight because it is reflecting green wavelengths and absorbing all. 3. Pigments that would degrade under regular visible light would be kinda useless. They would break down too easily. Same applies here. You need the photons to have enough energy that when one does hit a molecule of the pigment, it imparts enough energy to break a bond and break down the pigment 4. Understanding Pigments. Different kinds of pigments exist, and each absorbs only specific wavelengths (colors) of visible light. Pigments reflect or transmit the wavelengths they cannot absorb, making them appear a mixture of the reflected or transmitted light colors 5. When white light shines on a red object, all of the colors that form the white light are absorbed except red, which is reflected. This is why the object appears red. A filter is a transparent material that absorbs some colors and allows others to pass through. Light is the only source of color 6. Color is the result of the interactions between the atoms in an object and the electromagnetic frequency of the light being transmitted. Color that is not absorbed may be reflected back to the observer or scattered. The potential for an object to absorb color is due to the vibrational frequency of the object's electrons Color & Heat Absorption - Color Matter Chlorophyll, found in producers like green plants and algae, is a pigment that can absorb visible light. The light energy is used during the process of photosynthesis when producers make organic.. The model that emerges is that of some 300 chlorophyll molecules and 40 or so beta carotenes and other accessory pigments acting as a light harvesting antenna surrounding one chlorophyll a molecule that is a part of an action center. A photon is absorbed by one of the pigment molecules and transfers that energy by successive flourescence events to neighboring molecules until it reaches the. Light energy that is absorbed by a pigment can be released as heat energy, as in a black shirt on a sunny day, or it can be transferred into chemical energy as in chlorophyll in a leaf, but there is another way that this energy can also be released. In some cases, absorbed light energy can be released back again as light. Whe color as the light illuminating it. An object of a particular color absorbs light of all colors except light whose color is the same as the object's color. As shown to the right, a leaf appears green under white light because the pigment in the leaf reflects only green light. • Sunlight is composed of all colors of visible light Strand: Matter and Energy Transformations Background Information: When you look out on a sunny day, the light appears colorless. In fact, that light contains all of the colors of the visible light spectrum, from red to violet (Figure 1). Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortes In this physics science fair project, you will determine how the color of an object affects the amount of radiant energy that is absorbed. You will then use the Stefan-Boltzmann equation to determine the amount of energy that is absorbed and re-emitted by the different colors Accessory pigments give plants unique colors. Chlorophyll a is the primary light-absorbing pigment in plant leaves. It absorbs light wavelengths in the red and blue range, and reflects back green waves, which gives most leaves their distinctive green color. Different accessory pigments absorb different wavelengths of light For one thing, it depends on what colors of light are present to be absorbed. So let's pick some standard mix- say white sunlight. Even then, the answer is not definite. You can have different blue pigments which absorb somewhat different parts of the spectrum, and the same for red, etc The anion imparts a color to solutions because the energy separation between the pi and pi antibonding levels is smaller and matches light in the visible range. return to top of page In the first part of this experiment you will observe this difference in color for phenolphthalein and its anion Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds photosynthesis, but accessory pigments collect and transfer energy to chlorophyll. Although pigments absorb light, the wavelengths of light that are not absorbed by the plant pigments are reflected back to the eye. The reflected wavelengths are the colors we see in observing the plant. (Example: green pigments reflect green light) Plants. Light Dependent Reaction: Explain, in general terms, how energy is absorbed by pigments, transferred through the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to NADPH, and then transferred as chemical potential energy to ATP by chemiosmosis Describe where in the chloroplast the light dependent processes occur A photon with just the right amount of energy (color) will promote one or more electrons to higher energy molecular orbitals. The energy difference between the molecular states, which is related to.. Green plants are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum The colours we see are the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted. For example, a red shirt looks red because the dye molecules in the fabric have absorbed the wavelengths of light from the violet/blue end of the spectrum. Red light is the only light that is reflected from the shirt A pigment is any substance that absorbs light. color of the pigment comes from the wavelengths of light reflected (in other words, those not absorbed). Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs al Thus, pigments may have physiological and/or biological functions. There are three types of pigments present in the leaves of plants, and their retention or production determines the colors of leaves before they fall from , molecules, beyond the simple chemical formulas that describe the numbers of atoms of different elements making up the. How Does Color Affect Heating by Absorption of Light A pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color of the pigment comes from the wavelengths of light reflected(not absorbed). Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes Molecules called pigments absorb energy from light. The main pigment in photosynthesis is called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll exists in several different forms in different organisms. Chlorophyll a is the main photosynthetic pigment found in land plants and algae 3. Chlorophyll: the key photosynthetic pigment Green pigments like chlorophyll reflect green light, and absorb red and blue light. When light (and all electromagnetic energy) interacts with matter, the energy can be reflected or absorbed and release energy, it can come in the form of light with a discrete wavelength. The spectrum above shows the different types of light that can be emitted based on their wavelength. [2]. A small sliver of that spectrum falls into the visible light region, showing wavelengths that correspond to colors that we can perceive. Materials do not. Anthocyanins are other plant pigments that are only made in the fall. These pigments cause red, pink, or purple colors. Anthocyanins also protect leaves from being eaten or getting sun burned. So the different colors in leaves are caused by changes in the pigments. When the weather changes, some plants break down all the green pigment Absorption of Light - Universe Toda The treatment of skin imperfections by LED light therapy, also called LLLT (Low level laser therapy), is the revolutionary treatment of the beginning of the 21st century.Scientifically proven light therapy makes it possible to treat many ailments of the body in total harmony with it.. With this guide, you will understand how LED light therapy brings many benefits to the skin safely In a recent publication in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, a group of researchers including Angel Rubio, director of the theory department of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, developed a method that allows measuring the color of chlorophyll pigments outside of their cell environment.This work might pave the way to a better understanding of. The concept of color is explored as we learn about subtractive and additive color mixing. We examine what types of colors form when we mix different wavelengths of light. Properties and uses of pigments and dyes are discussed, the concept of luminance is introduced, and we see what makes an object transparent, translucent, or opaque Instead of absorbing energy from the light, the free electrons vibrate and the light energy is sent out of the material at the same frequency as the original light coming in. absorption Using the model, we estimated the optimal biomass concentration (C x) for each color of light to maximize the areal productivity, assuming the bioreactor is operated at a constant biomass density (turbidostat) and constant light intensity.As can be seen in Fig. 3, strongly absorbed light in colors such as blue and deep red result in low biomass concentrations (1.0 g L − 1 and 1.3 g L − 1. Color and Absorption Spectroscop Leaf pigments support absorption of light and aid in the conversion of that light into energy. Pigments of different color absorb light is different wavelengths, optimizing light utilization for. However, the atom has to lose energy to do this, and so it releases a photon of the same energy as the one it absorbed (albeit most likely into some other direction from which it was absorbed). This process is called emission because a photon of light is emitted by the atom, again at a very specific wavelength A pigment is a molecule that absorbs light. White light contains all of the different colors of the visual spectrum. This can be observed in a simple rainbow during a rain storm or by using a prism that splits white light into its various colors. Why does a shirt appear red? The red shirt has a pigment molecule that we call a dye tha 3.3. Physical and biophysical background to light sensitivity. 3.3.1. Physical background. The power (energy emitted per second) of a radiant source is expressed in watts (W), but light is expressed in lumens (lm) to account for the varying sensitivity of the eye to different wavelengths of light The accessory pigments increase the region of the spectrum across which light can be absorbed, increase photon capture efficiency, and also provide protective functions to avoid photo-tissue. Plants use sunlight to make energy. The process by which they do this is called photosynthesis. Chlorophyll in the plant is the pigment that absorbs light. Light is made up of three different colors: red, blue and green. The reason that green plants appear that color is that they reflect that color in the light spectrum The human eye and brain together translate light into color. Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain, which produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Rather, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors Why Do Different Plants Have Different Shades Of Green? However, these aren't the only light-harvesting pigments present in leaves. To a much lesser degree, pigments that color orange, red, and yellow are also present in leaves, but they play a secondary role to chlorophyll Within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast is a light-absorbing pigment called chlorophyll, which is responsible for giving the plant its green color. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs energy from blue- and red-light waves, and reflects green-light waves, making the plant appear green Light from the sun or a light bulb appears white in color. However, white light is composed of several different wavelengths of light. White light shining through a prism reveals the different colors produced by different light wavelengths. (Fig. 9.3). Each light wavelength represents a different color in the visible light spectrum (Fig. 9.3) 8.2B: Absorption of Light - Biology LibreText Colour (or colour, see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, yellow, white, etc. Colour derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of colour are also. When artists' paints are mixed together, some light is absorbed, making colors that are darker and duller than the parent colors. Painters' subtractive primary colors are red, yellow and blue. These three hues are called primary because they cannot be made with mixtures of other pigments How fast each pigment travels depends on the size of the pigment molecule and on how strongly the pigment is attracted to the paper. Since the water carries the different pigments at different rates, the black ink separates to reveal the colors that were mixed to make it. In this experiment, you're using a technique called chromatography Pigments - The Biology Projec Plants as Solar Energy Converters. Photosynthetic Pigments - Pigments found in chlorophyll absorb various portions of visible light; absorption spectrum. 1. Two major photosynthetic pigments are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. 2. Both chlorophylls absorb violet, blue, and red wavelengths best. 3 Parrots use the same molecules to create magenta, red, orange and yellow plumage, but these molecules create different colors based on how they are physically arranged inside the feather structur Do not think of this as a chemical reaction- think of it more as shapes and sizes, some molecules may be shaped so that red photons will fit into a pit and never return while green does not- so it bounces off. Remember that there are electromagnetic properties of the matter, and of the light- and that there will result in interaction due to this Pigments create color by absorbing certain wavelengths of light, leaving only the remaining parts of the spectrum visible to our eyes. For example, plants look green because they have pigments that absorb red and blue light. Finally, structural color is produced by structures that are small enough to interfere with the passage of visible light. • How many nurse practitioners can a physician supervise in Florida. • Agriculture Days 2020. • How much do police officers make an hour in Texas. • Pregnancy process in urdu. • 30 inch round Wood Table Top. • Festival of Lights 2021. • What color should urine be for a drug test. • How to Enable JavaScript in Internet Explorer 11. • Virtual assistant rates. • UCCO Job. • Kyle Chandler. • Derma wand Pro Tv Offer. • Deserted Fairgrounds Scratchcard. • May God bless Him with speedy recovery meaning in Hindi. • How to tell when maple syrup is done without a thermometer. • How to get around Roth IRA contribution limits. • Sad iron history. • How to connect Afterglow PS3 controller to PC. • OSRS help chat. • Pita bread fillings vegetarian Indian. • Mini ramps. • Best European formula for reflux. • NCB Insurance. • Sake carafe ml. • Average yield per plant 600w LED. • Dunlop Cleaning Cloth. • Cara Dark Mode iPhone 6. • Old phone ringtone Samsung. • Converting a detached double garage into a granny flat. • Cervical mucus timeline. • Why do we cry for no reason. • You and Me Lifehouse cover. • The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 Quizlet. • Wind turbine Engineer salary UK. • Tactacam trail camera. • How to configure JNDI in Eclipse. • Which foreign language is in demand in India 2020. • Santa Claus, Indiana cabins with hot tub. • Selena Gomez natural hair. • JavaScript not equal to undefined. • Palm kernel oil vs palm oil.

Case Study: How OpenRussian lets students contribute to their database OpenRussian is the world’s leading Russian dictionary for English- and German-speaking learners. If you’e learning Russian, try OpenRussian to look up words and learn with flash cards! Their concept is similar to Wikipedia: every visitor can participate and contribute missing words or expressions, fill in incomplete data or correct faulty translations or word inflections. Operation and challenges Allowing user contributions means that participants have a lot of functionality in the website’s interface that is typically found in admin panels — such as editing a word’s translation or changing its “related entries“. In addition to user contributions, a small team of students at OpenRussian also correct and expand the dictionary data, working directly on the website in the same way the users do. This high degree of coordination is made possible by the website’s interface, which allows in-place data adjustments. This division of labor covers most data editing use cases but more complex changes required the founder to regularly and directly access the database to fix the data. Setting up database access and requiring all staff to learn a database access tool was too bothersome, so the process was never undertaken. Adoption of TogetherDB To offload the founder’s work on the database to the students, they wanted to try TogetherDB. So, they registered on and created a company account in just one minute. To connect TogetherDB to their MySQL database, the OpenRussian founder navigated to their Amazon AWS interface and opened the firewall for the database server so that the German worker server could connect to it from its specific IP address. Following the manual, they created the database user, and then in TogetherDB created the new connection with those details. Now in the dashboard, the founder can see the database connection and click it to browse the database with all its tables and data. The second step was setting up the company’s accounts. In the settings, the founder added all three students to the company via their email addresses, and the students then received an email with a link to join. He then created the group “Students“ to which he added all three of them. Last but not least they set up the sharing configuration for the database. The kicker here was the fine granular permissions so the students can only change data in specific columns and not inadvertently break anything. The sharing configuration was: • Shared to: Group “Students“ • Base access: Read access • Exceptions: Can write in certain columns, e.g. can change the values in column “disabled“ of table “sentences“ • Can execute SQL: No The aftermath With four seats in the company’s account, they chose the “Starter“ plan for just $41 per month. For that their founder saves a few hours every single week needing to look into the database and making corrections himself — he’s now enabled his students to do that for him. The only other alternative would have been to develop a custom admin interface, but this would be a lot of work and would require frequent adjustments when the database structure changes. The students could immediately use the new database interface without training. The founder now has extra time to invest into more fruitful tasks to advance the company. And another use: Publishing data Since the OpenRussian website’s inception, the team has published their entire dictionary database as a way to give back to the community. The idea is that other dictionaries can use the data too so the users’ contributions have an even wider impact. They used to create weekly CSV file exports, automated by a cronjob, which then got uploaded to a public GitHub repository by hand. While this was not too tedious, they now also use TogetherDB to publicly share the full database. This was done with a simple sharing configuration in the interface, sharing to the public with “read” access. This gives anybody with the link the ability to download each table as a CSV file with fresh and up-to-date data. The GitHub repository where the data was previously hosted now just contains the link to this database — and the cronjob and manual uploads are obsolete!
How In-Line Leak Inspection Tests Impact the Auto Industry When a product or component is built to contain a liquid or gas, quality control needs to ensure the integrity of the part. Whether you’re looking at disposable plastic bottles or industrial heat pumps, leak testing procedures are a vital step in production. This is especially true in the automotive industry, where a component’s integrity can be a matter of life and death for the end-user. And, the growing prominence of electric vehicles is creating new leak testing challenges for the industry. For manufacturers who need to match high efficiency with 100% inspection, automated leak inspection tests provide powerful solutions. What is a Leak Test? Custom leak testing system by +VantageA leak test is more or less exactly what it sounds like. If a product flaw allows fluid to escape, the test allows manufacturers to catch and dispose of that product. Flaws may occur as easy-to-catch gross leaks or less obvious micro-leaks. In the past, leaks were discovered by pressurizing sealed components and submerging them. However, this is a highly limited technique as it is imprecise, time-consuming, subjective, and contaminates the component. Modern units use a combination of pressure chambers and vacuums, creating precision measurements that identify leaks and leak rates even on the micro-level. Due to the vast variety of components that require leak testing, and the different needs associated with each part, there are a variety of leak tests available. Each test is optimized to different leak rates, and takes different amounts of time to perform, making method selection a key factor when leak testing parts. Sniffing Test The product is filled with a tracer gas, such as helium or hydrogen. A probe is then run around the outside of the product, checking for leaks. Probes may be handheld or robot-operated for automated testing. One benefit of this test is that it determines presence and location simultaneously. Spraying Test This is essentially the opposite of a sniffing test. A vacuum is hooked up to the component, with a detector to monitor tracer gas. Gas is then sprayed across the surface of the product. If there is a leak, tracer gas will penetrate the product, setting off the detector. Bombing Test This two-stage process facilitates testing for products that can not be connected directly to a leak detector. A product is placed in a pressurized container of tracer gas for a set amount of time. The product is then moved to a vacuum chamber with a detector. If gas penetrated the product in stage one, it will be detected in stage two. Accumulation Test In this test, the product is filled with tracer gas and placed in an accumulation chamber. Any gas that escapes through cracks is evenly distributed throughout the chamber by fans. A leak detector is then used to measure the leakage rate out of the product. This is important for products that must conform to strict leakage regulations, such as automotive AC systems and fuel tanks. Pressure Decay Rather than using a tracer gas, this test relies on measuring the leak rate of a component pressurized to a target measurement. The pressure is then cut off, and the drop in pressure over time is used to calculate if the product falls within an acceptable range. Vacuum Decay Vacuum decay tests function as the opposite of a dresser decay test. Here, a component is placed in a vacuum chamber. Any leak out of the product will reduce the vacuum, and the change over time can be measured in detail. This makes the process ideal for detecting very small leaks. Automated Leak Testing Machines Image of a leak testing machine When deciding on how to implement leak testing into a production line, several factors must be taken into consideration. The test speed, sensitivity, and part volume will dictate the best method for implementing leak testing. This may occur either automatically with in-line testing, or manually, with machines assisting operators. For in-line leak inspection tests, pressure decay or vacuum decay systems are generally used in one of two orientations: Linear Leak Testers These test stations deliver a fully in-line process, integrating seamlessly into a conveyor system. Able to implement single- or multi-head testing as the need demands, linear leak testers offer high speed, high efficiency, and easy integration. However, these systems necessitate a trade-off between ease and specificity. Rotary Leak Testers Rotary leak testers are used for systems that require greater test time. These systems include a turntable which creates an additional loop in the production line. Test heads can move with the components on the turntable, allowing for more detailed measurements to take place. If a component does not meet specifications, it can be ejected at the end of the cycle. These machines offer an excellent combination of speed, precision, and 100% testing. Leak Testing in the Automotive Industry The internal functions of a car cover a wide range of intricate parts and processes, nearly all of which require some level of leak testing. This includes everything from the drivetrain and chassis to the cooling and safety systems. Some components, such as airbag cartridges, are subject to higher test sensitivities due to their life-saving function. Other components, like the engine block, are not subject to such high sensitivity. Due to the consistently high demand for cars, manufacturers need a fast, reliable, and cost effective way to test parts before they get to the customer. Automation provides the tools to achieve 100% inspection without sacrificing efficiency. Additionally, automating measurement on a comparatively low-sensitivity process like coolant leak testers allows for process control. That way, if production begins to trend into dangerous territory, manufacturing changes can be made before catastrophic failures occur. Automate with Us!

oblast, Russia Select Citation Style Thank you for your feedback Kostroma, oblast (region), western Russia. It covers part of the middle Volga River basin. Most of the surface is a rolling, morainic plain, sloping to the Volga from the low hills of the Severnye Uvaly (“Northern Rise”), with many lakes and extensive peat bogs. The oblast, centred on Kostroma city, is heavily covered with swampy forest, or taiga, of spruce, pine, and birch, with fir in the northeast. Broad floodplain meadows fringe the rivers, and most soils are infertile. In general, the oblast is not well developed economically, having a poor communications network—apart from the Volga itself, which crosses the southwestern corner of the oblast—and having only 15 percent of its area under cultivation. Flax, fodder crops, rye, and oats are grown, and flax processing and linen making are widespread in the small towns. Small-scale timber working also is widespread. Area 23,200 square miles (60,100 square km). Pop. (2006 est.) 708,988. This article was most recently revised and updated by Heather Campbell.
· · · · A fourth magnitude star in Canis Major, lying a little over seven degrees southwestward of brilliant Sirius. Xi1Canis Majoris forms a naked-eye optical double with Xi2 Canis Majoris, which lies less than a degree to the northeast. In reality, the two stars are unrelated to one another, and Xi1 is about a thousand light years more distant from Earth than its apparent 'neighbour' in the sky. Xi1 Canis Majoris is a blue star on the borderline between a subgiant and giant classification. Deep within the star is a layer of iron, and opposing physical forces acting on this layer cause it to periodically expand and contract. This makes Xi1 Canis Majoris a pulsating variable of the Beta Cephei type, with its luminosity oscillating over a period of very slightly more than five hours. This is a star with several notable features, including an unsually high magnetic field and intense X-ray emissions. It also has a remarkably slow rotation speed. For comparison, the Sun rotates on its axis over a period averaging twenty-eight days, while Xi1 Canis Majoris takes no less than thirty years to complete a single rotation. This rotation rate is in fact gradually slowing, and the star may eventually cease to rotate altogether. Related Entries
C Programming - Input / Output - Discussion A file written in text mode can be read back in binary mode. [A]. Yes [B]. No Answer: Option B The difference is that text files contain lines (or records) of text and each of these has an end-of-line marker automatically appended to the end of it whenever you indicate that you have reached the end of a line. Binary files are not broken up into separate lines or records so the end-of line marker is not written when writing to a binary file. So, we cannot read the correct the data in binary mode. Mrmino said: (Jan 25, 2016) The file written as text can be read with fread (& some_char, sizeof (char), 1, input); in loop. It will spew out eols anyway. As long as text is encoded in ASCII.

Competitive Improv Games Actors on Stage Ben Pugh via Flickr Most improvisational activities are guided by a very loose format. Actors might be given a location or a situation in which to create a scene. For the most part, they have the freedom to make up their own characters, dialogue, and actions. Improv comedy groups play each scene in hopes of generating laughter. More serious acting troupes create realistic improvisational scenes. Some of the most entertaining competitive improvisation games are: • The Question Game • Alphabet • World’s Worst Remember: Although these games are competitive by design, they are meant to be performed in the spirit of comedy and camaraderie. The Question Game In Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, the two bumbling protagonists wander through Hamlet’s rotten Denmark, amusing themselves with a combative “question game.” It’s a sort of verbal tennis match. Stoppard’s clever play demonstrates the basic idea of the Question Game: create a scene in which two characters speak only in questions. How to Play: Ask the audience for a location. Once the setting is established, the two actors begin the scene. They must speak only in questions. (Normally one question at a time.) No sentences ending with a period – no fragments – just questions. LOCATION: A popular theme park. Tourist: How do I get to the water ride? Ride Operator: First time at Disneyland? Tourist: How can you tell? Ride Operator: Which ride did you want? Tourist: Which one makes the biggest splash? Ride Operator: Are you ready to get soaking wet? Tourist: Why else would I be wearing this raincoat? Ride Operator: Do you see that big ugly mountain down yonder? Tourist: Which one? And so it continues. It might sound easy, but continually coming up with questions that progress the scene is quite challenging for most performers. If the actor says something that is not a question, or if they continually repeat questions (“What did you say?” “What did you say again?”), then the audience is encouraged to make a “buzzer” sound effect. The “loser” who failed to properly respond sits down. A new actor joins the competition. They can continue using the same location/situation or a new setting can be established. This game is ideal for performers with a knack for alphabetization. The actors create a scene in which each line of dialogue begins with a certain letter of the alphabet. Traditionally, the game starts off with an “A” line. Actor #1: All right, our first annual comic book club meeting is called to order. Actor #2: But I’m the only one wearing a costume. Actor #1: Cool. Actor #2: Does it make me look fat? Actor #1: Excuse me, but what’s the name of your character? Actor #2: Fat man. Actor #1: Good, then it suits you. And it continues all the way through the alphabet. If both actors make it to the end, then it’s usually considered a tie. However, if one of the actors flubs up, the audience members make their judgmental “buzzer” sound, and the actor at fault leaves the stage to be replaced by a new challenger. Normally, the audience supplies the location or the relationship of the characters. If you tire of always beginning with the letter “A” the audience can randomly select a letter for the performers, to begin with. So, if they receive the letter “R” they would work their way through “Z,” go to “A” and end with “Q.” Ugh, it’s starting to sound like algebra! World’s Worst This is less an improv exercise and more of an “instant punch-line” game. Although it’s been around a long time, “World’s Worst” was made popular by the hit show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? In this version, 4 to 8 actors stand in a line facing the audience. A moderator gives random locations or situations. The performers come up with the world’s most inappropriate (and incredibly humorous) thing to say. Here are some examples from Whose Line Is It Anyway: World’s Worst thing to say on your first day in prison: Who here loves to crochet? World’s Worst thing to say on a romantic date: Let’s see. You had the Big Mac. That’s two dollars you owe me. World’s Worst thing to say at a Major Award Ceremony: Thank you. As I accept this major award, I’d like to thank everyone I’ve ever met. Jim. Sarah. Bob. Shirley. Tom, etc. If the audience responds positively, then the moderator can give the performer a point. If the joke generates boos or groans, then the moderator may want to good-naturedly take points away. Note: Veteran improv performers know that these activities are meant to entertain. There aren’t really winners or losers. The whole purpose is to have fun, make the audience laugh, and sharpen your improve skills. However, young performers might not understand this. If you are a drama teacher or a youth theater director, consider the maturity level of your actors before trying these activities.
Main Content Carrier to Interference Performance of Weaver Receiver A classic superheterodyne architecture filters images prior to frequency conversion. In contrast, image-reject receivers remove the images at the output without filtering but are sensitive to phase offsets. The preceding figure illustrates two input signals at the carriers $f_{RF}$ and $f_{IM}$ that both differ from the LO frequency, $f_{LO1}$ , by an amount $f_{IF1}$. Mixing translates both input signals down to $f_{IF1}$. Perfect image rejection in the final stage of the receiver removes the image signal from the output entirely. Create Model with RF Interference The model ex_simrf_ir performs image rejection with a Weaver architecture. The receiver downconverts the signals $f_{RF}$ and $f_{IM}$ to $f_{IF1}$ and $f_{IF2}$ in two sequential stages. Set Up RF Blockset Environment To maximize performance, the Fundamental tones and Harmonic order parameters are explicitly set in the Configuration block. To create the minimal set of simulation frequencies, the following carrier frequencies are set or created within the model. • $f_{RF}$, the RF carrier, equals 100 MHz. • $f_{IM}$, the image of the RF carrier relative to $f_{LO1}$, equals 200 MHz. • $f_{LO1}$, the frequency of the LO in the first mixing stage, equals 150 MHz. • $f_{IF1}$, the intermediate frequency of the signal after the first mixing stage equals: $f_{LO1}-f_{RF} = f_{IM}-f_{LO1}$ = 50 MHz. • $f_{LO2}$, the frequency of the LO second mixing stage equals 75 MHz. • $f_{IF2}$, the intermediate frequency of the signal after the second mixing stage equals: $f_{LO2}-f_{IF1}$ = 25 MHz. In this system, every carrier is a multiple of $f_{IF2}$. The largest carrier, $f_{IM}$, is the 8th harmonic of $f_{IF2}$, so setting Fundamental tones to $f_{IF2}$ and the Harmonic order to 8 ensures that every carrier is in the set of simulation frequencies. • The Simulate noise box is checked, so the environment includes noise in the simulation. View Simulation Output The model uses Spectrum Analyzer to generate four plots. The RF spectrum scope shows the power spectrum of the carrier signal $f_{RF}$, specified as carriers.RF in the Carrier frequencies parameter of the Input Sensor Outport block. The modulation of the RF carrier is a constant envelope generated by a Continuous Wave block which generates a single peak centered at the carrier. The Image Spectrum scope shows the power spectrum of the image. The signal is recovered from the carrier $f_{IM}$, specified as carriers.IM in the Carrier frequencies parameter of the Input Sensor Outport block. The Image Sinusoidal Source block generates a two-tone signal centered at $f_{IM}$. The IF1 spectrum scope plot shows a power spectrum centered at the first intermediate frequency, measured between the first and second stages. The sensor outputs the modulation from the carrier $f_{IF1}$, specified as carriers.IF1 in the Carrier frequencies parameter. The Output spectrum scope shows the complete effects of the RF system. The sensor outputs the modulation from the carrier $f_{IF2}$, specified as carriers.IF2 in the Carrier frequencies parameter. Model RF and Blocker Sources To model more robust input signals, you can use a RF Blockset Inport block to specify a circuit envelope signal generated using blocks from other Simulink™ libraries. For example, see the featured example Impact of an RF Receiver on Communication System Performance. This example uses Communications System Toolbox™ to model a QPSK-modulated waveform of random bits with RF Blockset Inport that brings the signal into the RF Blockset environment. Simulating LO Phase Offset The phase shifters have specified Phase shift parameters of 90. Deviation from this value results in a phase offset and causes imperfect image rejection. The featured example Measuring Image Rejection Ratio in Receivers analyzes the IRR of the Weaver and Hartley architectures several times, calculating the image rejection ratio (IRR) for several different phase offsets.

Science - A Brief History of Time The movie about Stephen Hawking’s ideas from his book titled the same and abut his life. A Brief History of Time attempts to explain a range of subjects in cosmology, including the Big Bang, black holes, light cones and super-string theory, to the nonspecialist reader. Its main goal is to give an overview of the subject but, unusual for a popular science book, it also attempts to explain some complex mathematics. The author notes that an editor warned him that for every equation in the book the readership would be halved, hence it includes only a single equation: E = mc². In addition to Hawking’s abstinence from equations, the book also simplifies matters by means of illustrations throughout the text, depicting complex models and diagrams. The book is considered by many to be an “unread bestseller”, which is a book many people own but few have finished. I really do like the idea to address such an exciting subject to non mathematicians. The choice of topics is well balanced and gives you an interesting introduction into the modern view of our universe. In particular the introduction of sometimes contradictory models explain how physics works the evolution of ideas.
Eastern Section Meeting Datapages, Inc.Print this page LiDAR and Its Use in the Identification of Faults, Fractures and Sub Surface Structures in Drift Covered Areas LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is the scanning of the earth's surface with an airborne laser and the recording of the reflected scan. Individual laser pulses are projected upon the earth's surface with the individual pulse's reflection's intensity, trajectory and corresponding GPS positioning digitally recorded. For the purpose of this report we are only interested in the results of the bare earth or last return. LiDAR bare earth returns strip away all vegetation and culture to provide a stunningly clear digital image of the earth's surface and it is with these images of the surface we are able to locate buried faults, fractures and sub surface structures. Very faint signatures of the upward propagation of geologic structures can be measured on the surface using LiDAR derived digital elevation models. Faults and fractures also have an upward propagation and a percentage can be traced on the surface using slope angle datasets. Slope angle terrain datasets are very precise and are proving to be an effective method of identifying sub surface faults and fractures on the surface of drift covered areas. We are seeing correlations between fracture controlled Ordovician Trenton/Black-River oil and gas fields In Indiana and Michigan with higher slope angles. Albion-Scipio and the Adrian fields of Michigan have very distinct slope angle signatures. Differential compaction of formations above Devonian reefs in southwest Indiana in some cases can be modeled on the surface using LiDAR derived digital elevation models, with the Hulman oil field in Vigo County, Indiana being a prime example. We are just beginning to integrate LiDAR data with other exploration methods such as magnetics, gravity, 2D and 3D seismic. The digital nature of LiDAR makes it a good fit with the other exploration methods used in the industry today. Current LiDAR technology is advancing rapidly, multispectral arrays, remote controlled drones and less expensive more powerful cameras will soon be the norm. In the very near future, LiDAR derived digital elevation models and terrain datasets will be important tools to be used by explorers looking for new oil and gas reserves.
Narcolepsy diagnosis Narcolepsy and Cataplexy The first concern in narcolepsy diagnosis is that the patient has an accurate and complete diagnosis. Although it is easy for a narcolepsy Doctor to diagnose narcolepsy using its symptoms, sometimes it is a necessity that the patient goes through some sleep tests. In general, Doctors diagnose narcolepsy using symptoms, family history of narcolepsy, physical examination, and then some sleep test results. These are normally done at a sleep disorder center for an evaluation overnight. A verbal narcolepsy diagnosis When the narcolepsy Doctor is making a diagnosis, he/she will usually ask the patients about their daytime sleepiness and if they have any sleep attacks, if they are affected by cataplexy i.e. sudden loss of muscle control, hallucination while falling asleep or waking up or sleep paralysis, i.e. an inability to move or speak while waking up Furthermore, the narcolepsy Doctor may also want to know how long the patient has been having these symptoms and may go as far as ask about their daily habits and common feelings/moods. Family history of narcolepsy The patient may be asked if he/she has any relatives with narcolepsy. If it is found that there is a family member who has narcolepsy then it could be used as a conclusive confirmation that the patient is diagnosed as suffering from sleep disorder as well. Verifying the family history and verbal description of the symptoms could be enough for a narcolepsy doctor to draw his or her conclusion but If doubts remain the patient can be referred to a sleep center for some sleep tests such as polysomnographic (PSG) testing. Polysomnographic (PSG) testing Here the patient is required to arrive at the sleep test center at least two hours before bedtime. The patient is then “wired” with some monitoring devices that record activity in the body as the patient goes through or fails to go through the different phases of sleep. The type of sleep they enter into from consciousness will be recorded. If the patience Falling asleep quickly, quickly reaches the REM sleep level without going through the other sleep cycles, Waking up often during the night, then he/she is regarded as being positive for narcolepsy. In essence, Polysomnography is most useful for ruling out other disorders, such as sleep apnea in people with narcolepsy based on the results of the sleep tests, the patient’s symptoms, and sleep habits as recorded in a sleep diary. Polysomnographic testing is not the only sleep test used to diagnose narcolepsy. There are two others, the Multiple sleep latency tests (MSLT) and the Hypocretin test. Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) Narcolepsy diagnosis Also called a nap study this study may be said to be complementary to the overnight PSG as is usually done the day after the PSG testing. It basically measures how easily a patient falls asleep and also falls into REM sleep during a day time nap based on short naps taken every two hours and lasting up to about 20 minutes. Narcoleptics are known to fall asleep in about five minutes or even less and can move into REM sleep during at least two of the four naps. In contrast, normal sleepers take about 10 to about 14 minutes to fall asleep during the day and don’t fall into REM sleep. In this test, the narcolepsy doctor records eye movements, muscle tone, and brain activity with small devices attached to the head. Hypocretin Test When explaining the cause of narcolepsy we mentioned that Recent studies suggest that the cause of narcolepsy is a result of a deficiency in a chemical called Orexin (sometimes called hypocretin 1 and 2 or A and B). This chemical is found in a brain fluid called cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord and is used to control sleep patterns i.e. activates arousal and regulates sleep. So the hypocretin test measures the levels of hypocretin in the patient’s body. Low levels of hypocretin make it likely that the patient has narcolepsy. Physical examination The narcolepsy doctor can also conduct a narcolepsy diagnosis using some physical examination. In this instance, the narcolepsy doctors will examine the patient to see if there are any signs of other possible causes for the symptoms such as other sleep disorders like sleep apnea, or Infections, Certain thyroid diseases, Drug or even alcohol use. There are several sleep centers experienced in narcolepsy diagnosis.

Sign In Daily Nutrition Stop Counting Calories For generations, calorie counting has been the backbone of dieting and the conventional “calories in/calories out” model for staying fit has held strong. Yet, calories aren’t a great indicator of diet healthfulness, and many health experts are saying they shouldn’t be our main eating focus. After all, when you compare 100 calories from candy with 100 calories from almonds it should be clear that not all calories are created equal — same calorie load, yet very different nutritional profile. Calorie counting ignores one key factor: the quality of your food. Don’t get us wrong: we’re not saying calories don’t matter — when you are running hard it’s a good idea to make sure you are getting enough of them to support training efforts. It’s just that there are far smarter things to count to make sure you are eating your way to a healthier body composition, better runs and a longer, healthier life. So what do you track instead of calories? Here are five items worth a daily tally to keep your diet on track. Count: Grams of Fiber Bars that look like they have tones of fiber in them. Photo: Louis Hansel / Unsplash Your Goal: At least 38 grams a day for men and 25 grams each day for women (or 14 grams for every 1,000 calories consumed) Dietary fiber isn’t exactly the most exciting term in the wellness world, but it just might be the most devastating shortfall in the typical American diet. And it can have profound health and performance consequences beyond disconcerting toilet habits. A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who eat more fiber are less likely to succumb to some of today’s biggest killers like cancer and heart disease. Both soluble and insoluble fiber play several important roles in our health including steadying blood sugar levels, lowering blood pressure and improving cholesterol. By helping regulate hunger, a fiber-rich diet can also put the brakes on the overeating that can contribute to unwanted weight gain. This is played out in research suggesting that consuming more roughage is helpful at achieving and maintaining healthy body composition. Not to be overlooked is that consuming more fiber is perhaps the best way to improve your microbiome — levels of beneficial bacteria in your gut — and perhaps even more important than eating probiotics. A robust microbiome has been linked to everything from better digestion to improved mental health to even a boost in athletic performance. Yet, despite all the finer points of fiber, dietary surveys show that more than 90% of American adults don’t get the recommended amount on any given day. Your Fix: Sneaking in more beans and lentils into your diet is a good first step as these are fiber heavyweights — a cup of black beans has a whopping 15 grams. Making vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds part of your meals and snacks throughout the day will also make it easier for you to nail your daily fiber quota. You’ll notice that meats are devoid of dietary fiber and this is one reason why research suggests a plant-based diet (which still can include some meat) can be more protective against health problems. One caveat: you want to avoid eating high-fiber foods shortly before a run since the slower pace of digestion can lead to mid-run stomach woes. Count: Late Night Calories Young woman sitting by open refrigerator, eating ice cream. Photo: Getty Images Your Goal: 0 to 200 calories If you’re struggling to achieve or maintain your target healthy body composition perhaps it’s because you’re running to the fridge too often well after sunset, a snacking habit that trips-up many people. One newer study discovered that people who consumed the lowest percentage of daily calories at night consumed fewer calories overall when compared with those who ate more at night. What’s more, those who saved more of their daily calories for the evening scored significantly worse for overall diet quality. That’s not surprising considering that too often late-night snacks are nutrition bombs. Findings in the International Journal of Obesity suggest that evening is a high-risk time for overeating because hunger hormone levels rise and satiety hormones drop at this time of day, and this shift is made even worse when experiencing periods of stress. This investigation in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that late-night eaters not only had lower weight-loss success than those who obtain more of their calories earlier in the day but also metabolic conditions such as lower insulin sensitivity and higher blood triglycerides that placed them at higher risk for heart disease. Our bodies may handle calories it receives later at night differently than the one’s it gets earlier in the day including reducing rates of fat oxidation and worsening blood sugar control. Your Fix: It seems that the timing of energy intake may be an important modifiable dietary behavior for better health. So try to shutter the kitchen after dinner and move more of your calories to before sunset. (Of course, if you are a night runner you can and should make an exemption to this rule and consume some calories afterward.) Making sure to eat enough fiber throughout the day including at dinner can be a good way to squash late-night hunger pangs. If you do find yourself peckish at night while engrossed in Netflix, aim to have some nutritious, lower-calorie snack options available like plain air-popped popcorn, apple slices or a small bowl of Greek yogurt. Count: Protein at Each Meal Skillet with high protein food in it. Photo: Unsplash Your goal: 25 to 30 grams To make the protein you eat work harder for you, the latest science shows when you eat it is just as important as how much you take in for helping to build and maintain lean body mass. (Remember that the more muscle mass you have the more power you can achieve on your runs and the less susceptible you are to training-related injuries.) Instead of consuming most of your protein at a single meal, which many people do at dinner, distributing the macronutrient more evenly does a better job at fueling your muscles more consistently during a day. A study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics showed that muscle protein synthesis increases when people consume 30 grams of protein (the amount in 5 ounces of chicken breast) at a meal, but taking in more doesn’t necessarily bring about bigger gains. And this study found that 30 grams of protein consumed after a bout of higher-intensity endurance exercise is a good amount to shoot for as a means to maximizing muscle recovery and growth. Research still needs to better determine meal protein requirements for active females who may need slightly fewer protein calories to maintain and improve lean body mass. Your Fix: Spread the protein love beyond dinner by making it a habit of including high-protein foods like legumes, poultry and fish at each of your meals and following high-octane workouts. For many people, breakfast is notoriously carb-centric, so look for ways to sneak in more protein at this meal with items like eggs and yogurt. Count: Meals Away from Home Group of people out for American food, sitting at table. Photo: Obi Onyeador / Unsplash Your Goal: Three or fewer meals a week The pandemic may have altered the numbers slightly, but in recent decades Americans have been spending more of their food dollars on meals and snacks prepared by someone else. Convenient yes, but all this restaurant and fast-food eating can be a recipe for less nutritious eating that may impact health and fitness gains, not to mention being a drain on the bank account. An American Journal of Preventative Medicine study found that people who ate out more frequently typically consumed less nutritious diets and also had higher food expenses. Since chain and non-chain restaurant food is typically higher in calories, fat and sugar than what comes out of your kitchen it’s not surprising research shows that eating out more often can make it more challenging for many people to achieve a healthier body composition. An investigation by Ohio State University researchers showed that adults who reported never watching TV or videos during family meals and also whose family meals were all home-cooked had lower odds of being at an unhealthy body composition than those who ate while distracted by a screen and prepared fewer of their meals. One report in the journal Nutrients suggests that daily high-intensity interval training (for this study the exercise took part on the treadmill) may protect men from some of the worst metabolic problems and fat gain associated with high intakes of fast food. But why take the chance? Perhaps the subjects would have experienced even greater improvements in performance metrics like VO₂ max if they instead supplemented the training with home-cooked whole food meals. And that degree of effort to counteract a French fry habit is a recipe for overtraining. Your Fix: For the sake of your health, running performance and savings account, it’s a good idea to get the Grubhub guy off your speed dial. While it can be a challenge to always eat healthy if you’re frequently eating out, it’s also difficult to eat poorly if you’re cooking for yourself using whole food ingredients. Menu planning and meal prepping are key for most busy runners. Once a week, plan out a week’s worth of nourishing meals and snacks, shop for the necessary provisions and then carve out some time to prepare a few meals in advance (i.e. batch-cooking) which makes it a lot less tempting to dial for takeout when you’re feeling too beaten down to cook from scratch. And turn to food bloggers who specialize in healthy meals for recipe inspiration. Count: Grams of Added Sugar Spoon full of sugar on dark table. Photo: Sharon McCutcheon / Unsplash Your Goal: Fewer than 40 grams (10 teaspoons) If you are running up a storm then, yes, you can get away with a bit more of the sweet stuff in your diet and it can work in your favor during long endurance efforts. But since the research is so dire concerning added sugar in our diets it’s a good idea to keep intake in check. There is no way to sugarcoat it: Eating too much added sugar — the stuff pumped into food and drinks to artificially sweeten them as opposed to what occurs naturally — is a culprit in a host of health concerns that goes beyond unwanted weight gain and diabetes. Research in the Journal of the American Heart Association found women who took in one or more sugar-sweetened beverages per day had an almost 20% higher risk of cardiovascular disease, compared with women who did not consume or rarely drank sugar-sweetened drinks. Other evidence has linked lofty intakes to increased chances for depression and certain cancers — a strong indication that the body responds to sugary calories differently than it does to other kinds of calories. And this study suggests that higher intakes of added sugar can lead to a lower intake of several essential micronutrients. Essentially, sugary foods may wedge out some of the more nutrient-dense foods in the diet. Depending on the organization you ask, the amount of added sugar in your diet should be no more than 6 teaspoons (24 grams) to 12 teaspoons (48 grams) a day. The World Health Organization suggests striving for a 10 percent of daily calorie limit but stresses that 5 percent would be even better, or about 25 grams of added sugar in a day. As a perspective, a 12-ounce can of soda has about 41 grams of added sugar. Your Fix: Various guises of sugar are pumped into nearly everything from ketchup to bread to almond butter, making it more challenging to cut back. And foods geared towards athletes like energy bars and sports drinks aren’t exactly sugar lightweights. Thankfully, a new nutrition label has been rolled out that includes a line specifically for the grams of added sugar (the sugar added to the food or drink as opposed to that naturally present such as the lactose in milk) which makes it way easier to keep tabs on your intake of the sweet stuff. So the path to a lower-sugar diet starts by reading nutrition labels carefully and swapping out products in your diet that list higher amounts of added sugar with low- to no-sugar-added alternatives. For instance, opting for plain yogurt and unsweetened muesli instead of flavored yogurt and high-sugar granola. And don’t give so-called “natural sugars” like honey and coconut sugar a free pass as they too count towards your daily added sugar allotment.
A Crashed Israeli Lunar Lander Spilled Tardigrades on the Moon The Beresheet lunar lander carried thousands of books, DNA samples, and a few thousand water bears to the moon. But did any of it survive the crash? a tardigrade on black background Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are microscopic animals that can survive for years without food or water. And now they're on the moon!Getty Images SpaceIL's Beresheet was the first privately funded lunar lander to attempt to touch down on the moon. It ended with a crash on April 11. The lunar library includes thousands of high-resolution images of book pages compressed into just a few square inches. Bruce Ha A copy of the first layer of the lunar library on the Beresheet lunar lander. The actual lunar library has the center image removed. Bruce Ha Fortunately for Spivack and the Arch Mission Foundation, spewing DNA and water bears across the moon is totally legal. NASA’s Office of Planetary Protection classifies missions based on the likelihood that their targets are of interest to our understanding of life. As such, missions destined for places like Mars are subject to more stringent sterilization processes than missions to the Moon, which has few of the necessary conditions for life and isn’t at risk of contamination. In fact, Spivack isn’t even the first to leave DNA on the moon. This honor belongs to the Apollo astronauts, who left nearly 100 bags of human feces on the lunar surface before they returned to Earth. This is good news for Spivack, who wants to incorporate more DNA into future libraries on the moon and beyond. This fall, Spivack says the Arch Mission Foundation will be launching a crowdfunding campaign that will solicit DNA samples from volunteers to include on the next moon mission, as well as DNA from endangered species. In addition, Spivack also plans to send vast troves of information coded in synthetic DNA. The advantage of DNA storage is that it’s easy to make thousands of copies to ensure redundancy, and you can fit terabytes of data in a small vial of liquid. Indeed, the Arch Mission Foundation has already figured out how to encode the English Wikipedia in synthetic DNA, which will hitch a ride to the lunar surface with Astrobotic, a company that was formed to work on the Google Lunar X Prize, in 2021. “Our job, as the hard backup of this planet, is to make sure that we protect our heritage—both our knowledge and our biology,” says Spivack. “We have to sort of plan for the worst.” Creating a backup of the entire planet is the sort of high-minded idealism associated with the titans of Silicon Valley, but Spivack is well on his way to turning it into a reality. And as the world grapples with the fallout from climate change, the prospect of nuclear war, and even killer asteroids, creating a backup of human civilization doesn’t sound like such a bad idea after all. Updated 8-6-2019, 12 pm EST: There are 60,000 analog images in the first four layers of the lunar library, not 30,000. The tape containing tardigrades was not used to attach the lunar library to the lander. The tape was attached to the lunar library, wrapped in several layers of insulation, and then attached to the Beresheet lander. More Great WIRED Stories
Working with libdrm, buffer allocation In the first blog of libdrm, we went through the repainting loop using the libdrm. Now we move on to the topic of framebuffers. A framebuffer is a piece of memory (could be on main memory or on GPU) for repainting every frame. It is like a canvas, represents what you would finally see on screen. Framebuffer is already a familiar concept to rendering programmers, in OpenGL, We have GL_FRAMEBUFFER_0 for presenting the surface, additional framebuffers for roles like G-Buffer and post-processing. Working with libdrm, repainting timeline As the taiwins project finished with X11/Wayland backend rigging. Now I am fully on the libdrm backend development, dealing with hardwares directly. This backend requires 200 percent my energy to tame the complexity. Like other backends, libdrm also needs to provide two resources, input and output. Backends like nested wayland backend or X11 backend, the output device are the windows created by ourselves (or by the user). Meaning we can create it or destroy it as we please.

Studies have long touted the benefits of teaching students how to read nonfiction. Nonfiction text helps students develop background knowledgewhich in turn assists them as they encounter more difficult reading throughout their school years. Nonfiction can also help students learn to read text features not often found in works of fiction, including headings, graphs, and charts. Students used to rely on nonfiction non fiction book report activities for research projects from science to art.

There have been many instances where a merger or an acquisition proved to be a value destructor rather than a value creator. Finance literature has two different views on the dividend policy. One view suggests that dividends are irrelevant for value whereas the other view states that dividends have implications for value. The original theory of irrelevance of dividends for value was empirically tested by DeAngelo and DeAngelo and the authors rejected the model that was suggested by Miller and Modigliani The research demonstrated that the payout policy was relevant and investment policy was not the only determinant of firm value. The observations were inherent even to frictionless markets. However, the study paid attention to total payouts rather than cash dividends only. Thereby, no distinction was made between distributing earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends or stock repurchases Handley, The Mean-Variance approach is a common portfolio optimisation method which is based on the assumption that all investors make rational investment decisions if they are given access to complete market information. On the other hand, the Black-Litterman model is a more advanced method of portfolio optimisation. The primary reason for developing this model was that it aimed to overcome fundamental issues such as errors in estimation, portfolios that are too concentrated, and technical issues such as input sensitivity. The two approaches have their own strengths and weaknesses Idzorek, This paper aims to discuss these features and make a comparison that can be of value to investors. Pakistan is a country in South Asia with a population of million people, which is the fifth largest population in the world PBS, Pakistani economy is semi-industrialised with a well-developed agricultural sector and an increasing share of the services sector Iqbal, It is one of the fastest growing economies in the world driven by the rapidly growing middle class Kaplan, ; Alam, Productivity is one of the key economic indicators related to economic growth.

Contemporary nursing practice is a diverse and challenging field and nurses are increasingly involved in complex decision-making as their roles expand in the health system Cherry and Jacob, Underlying any care decision is the need to identify the source of the problem and then to develop a suitable approach to addressing this problem. The assessment, planning, implementing and evaluating approach, also known as APIE Yura and Walsh, , is a commonly used approach to care planning in nursing practice. This approach encourages a systematic and rigorous approach to patient care, incorporating a holistic perspective of the care process. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the individual components of the APIE and the approach in its entirety with respect to nursing practice. This process can be used in either physical or mental health settings, and follows the same process regardless of what branch of medicine clinicians are working in Ibid.

The past few decades have seen an increasing public interest in the use of complementary and alternative medicine CAM. Despite a generally positive attitude with regards to its use and safety, concerns do remain about the effectiveness of these therapies Barnes et al. Despite the expansion of the scientific knowledge base of Western medicine, the global popularity of CAM therapies has seen a dramatic increase over recent times; a steady increase in the lifetime prevalence of these therapies have also been reported in developed countries Kessler et al. The geographical determinant has, by far, been the most accepted amongst these- several developing countries have been observed to use CAM therapy as basic treatment line Tan et al. However, the prevalence of this does further vary between urban and rural areas within these countries. This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of alternative medicine in the treatment of common illnesses. As such, critiquing is a key skill that should be developed and practised by all nurses and healthcare professionals alike. The Personal, Cultural, and Structural Analysis PCS model explains how power relationships are expressed between individuals, groups, and in the wider society.

Dementia is a common condition in the population and is associated with a decline in memory and cognitive function, along with challenging behavioural symptoms Brodaty et al. Regardless of the dementia subtype, decline in function and worsening of symptoms is associated with advancing age and has a significant impact on the wellbeing of the individual and their family members Wu et al. As many patients with dementia are elderly, there is an increasing recognition of the need to provide appropriate end-of-life EoL to this patient group when dying or approaching death Halpern, This report considers the challenges facing patients with dementia with respect to EoL care and the potential strategies that may be used to meet the needs of this service user group. In , Jewish immigration and targeted land purchases in the area later called the State of Palestine marked the beginning of a long-lasting conflict between the Arab countries and Israel. While the existing body of research provides deep insight into the Arab-Israel conflict, there is no agreement on whether Egypt played a key role in it Aly et al. One the one hand, Egypt is often considered as one of the most implacable enemies of Israel in its struggle for independence and recognition Mahler and Mahler, On the other hand, Egypt has proven itself to be the main advocate of continued peace between Israel and the Arab states Tessler, The main purpose of this essay is to critically appraise the role Egypt played in the conflict between the Arabs and Jews by over-viewing its main phases and outcomes for both parties.

Employment law is built around regulating the respective rights of employers and employees within and outside of the workplace environment. Modern cinematography has heavily relied on the world-building approach since the late s Taylor, Early pioneers of the science fiction genre including the Forbidden Planet and the The Day the Earth Stood Still depicted alien environments and unbelievable technologies to really cut adrift from the Golden Age of Hollywood movies. At the same time, a change of the background has not changed the narrative and the dramatic structure of the scripts. The protagonist still faced different conflicts with nature, other men or creatures, the society in general, or their own limitations.

The goal of this essay is to review the structure and business operations of Disney from the Marxist point of view. The concepts of fear and angst are central to the philosophical school of existentialism Sartre, According to philosophers such as Sartre and Kierkegaard , existential angst was a result of a person experiencing their own freedom in comparison to their own expectations. Despite the fact that both fear and angst were vital to existentialism, there existed at least 3 separate definitions of these experiences divided between Sartre , Kierkegaard and Heidegger Realistic quantum systems are not isolated from the environment but rather continuously interact with it Schlosshauer, Treating this interaction within the traditional framework of quantum mechanics results in the concept of decoherence Zurek, Decoherence results in the suppression of interference between the alternative states which has been experimentally observed. Furthermore, it provides insight on why the superposition resulting from measurement appears as a classical mixture Bassi et al. Meanwhile, the quantum measurement problem remains a major conceptual question in quantum mechanics as the precise mechanics of the non-deterministic evolution following a measurement is unclear Schlosshauer, However, some misconceptions may exist regarding decoherence and whether it fully resolves the measurement problem Joos and Zeh, ; Dieks, ; Adler, The aim of the present paper is to review the concept of quantum decoherence and how it relates to the quantum measurement problem within the context of different interpretations of quantum mechanics. Light trapping has been used in many applications including photo-electrochemistry, photovoltaics, sensing, and production of solar fuel Fonash, The present paper aims to provide an overview of the light-trapping properties of solar cells. Firstly, relevant optical phenomena are considered that may influence the design of solar cells. This includes interference, scattering, reflection, and diffraction. Secondly, major solar cell structure designs are described such as antireflection coating, randomly textured surfaces, and periodic arrays. Copyright Applied Research Consulting Ltd.

Without cognitive diversity we would have limited variations in music, in art, science or mathematics; therefore, potentially the development of new forms of electronics, computers, AI, and who knows what else in our futures could be limited. It’s important, therefore, to recognize that in all elements of society, we need representation. This is the true meaning of inclusivity. If we don’t get the opportunity to have representation of views, ideas and experiences, how can we ever be able to know what we are potentially missing? It often feels easier and more familiar to recruit ‘in our own likeness’; to recruit people who have more in common with us. Communication is less effortful. But when we do so, those that offer different solutions, or communicate differently, remain excluded. Inclusion is essential across society and starts in school. We are at the beginning of developing neuro-inclusive processes and procedures in some bigger companies where they have in place Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. We see some companies have focused in past years on LGBTQ+, BAME or gender. More companies are starting to consider neurodiversity as well; they can see that diversity of thought and of cultural and life experiences! At the present time there is a lack of representation and opportunity for neurodivergent thinkers to progress and especially reach the C-suite. Too many people from the same gender, ethnicity and academic backgrounds end up in the top jobs and so the stories we hear remain the same and the viewpoint then remains narrow. Often the person who does reach the top who becomes interested in neurodiversity has a neurodiverse family member and understands the challenges from a personal perspective. We are often still thinking in silos: while specific campaigns such as those for gender equality are crucial, there also needs to be focus on intersectional campaigns. We don’t all fit into one category or another. There is no one-size approach. It is impossible to understand the development and training needs of each person without fully understanding the opinions and experiences of people who are working in variable settings. Unique skills and experiences bring different perspectives. Context is everything. A different work setting and culture will require a different understanding of needs, expectations and support. That’s complicated. There are myriad social reasons why some people get a voice at the table and others don’t get a look in at all despite having similar qualifications and experiences. We can use business metaphors such as ‘groupthink’ and misuse ideas like ‘culture fit’ to maintain a status quo of recruiting using a narrow range of characteristics. Thousands of years of racism, sexism and of privilege make it harder in the modern world to be suddenly representative of all those you serve. Unless of course you, your team and your organizations are as diverse as the communities you represent and become disruptive in the way you think. A true change requires commitment that is more than tokenistic as it needs to be sustained and anticipatory. The only way we can really do this is to measure what we do. We also need to ensure that diversity and inclusion is a part of all our processes and not a policy that is written and then stuck in a drawer. This requires a commitment to see through different eyes and accept at times our ignorance and the need to open up honest conversations. It requires revision and review and is not static. Change can happen when we see enough value in doing so. Progress depends on how effectively we work to change people’s thinking and never happens overnight. But let’s be clear, the path is not always an easy one and it takes dedication and a focus to make change. But the rewards and impact for the organization and society are great. Recent Articles

Thus, we may say of a book that it has been very much praised or very much criticized (where very modifies florastor adverb much), but not that it has been very praised or very criticized. However, many past participle forms do double duty as adjectives, in which case modification by very or by analogous adverbs such as quite is acceptable, as in a very celebrated singer or a performance that was quite polished. In some cases there is disagreement as to whether a particular participle can be used properly as an adjective. In the past, critics have objected to the use of very by itself with delighted, interested, annoyed, pleased, disappointed, and irritated. All grants these words are now well established as adjectives, however, as indicated by the fact that they are used attributively, that is, in juxtaposition florastor a noun they modify, as in a delighted audience, bayer 1500 pleased look, a disappointed young man. But florastor situation is not always clear.

Jump to content Black Chicken Studios Forums Home Away: An Aerial Odyssey Recommended Posts Ask a casual enthusiast of history who collaborated with Weimar Germany in military development, and the United States Navy will certainly never be mentioned. Yet, that is exactly what happened with the Navy's fledgling rigid airship program in the twenties. This endeavor resulted in one German airship entering service with America, and two more behemoths of the skies designed by none other than German engineer Karl Arnstein, following shortly after. It seemed as though the US Navy was poised to ascend as the premier operator of zeppelin airships in the postwar period, building on and expanding the long legacy of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin's machines. But it was not to be. Less than a decade later, it would all come to an end. Wicked weather would spell disaster for the USS Akron and the USS Macon, the first two of the American-built airships. In 1933, the USS Akron was struck down from the sky in a tremendous thunderstorm, taking all but three of the souls aboard her down into the perilous waters below. The USS Macon, would suffer a similar fate in 1935, but while flying over land. The loss of life was less severe, but the ship was demolished. With two such disasters in a row the US Navy permanently shut down the airship program, and retired it's sole survivor. The USS Los Angeles. She had came to America as LZ-126, and was known as the Amerikaschiff by her builders. Though she had several close calls, she never had a single disastrous accident or loss of life aboard her in her career. In 1932 she entered her hangar at Lakehurst, New Jersey for the last time, and would stand as a silent reminder of the terminated airship program for seven years. On October 24, 1939, the last American zeppelin met her end. Struck from the Navy List, she was dismantled in her hangar. But not this time. This is the story of how fate changed for one particular, unique ship when the Morganas attacked. Part I: A Star Is Born Part II: Back in the Saddle Part III: Fall From Grace Please leave all your thoughts and feedback below, and I hope that I've brought you something fresh and interesting for the New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites The idea is interesting. Technically naval ships, but not really what we think of. It's already an interesting premise. My critiques 1. Chapter 1: I don't think the INPF or any international coalition can be founded in less than a week, especially in 1939 considering the political situation. The first week alone would be finding out who the hell attacked them, what the hell the Belles are, and so on. I'd wager by either November-December 1939 or even in 1940 the INPF would come in. Granted I am not extremely well versed in international politics of 1939 so I'm just guessing. (Note: I see that almost immediately after making this observation the Americans are in agreement that this has gotten together extremely quickly) 2. Chapter 2: In regards to Ferdinand, excuse me what? It doesn't make much sense that she's already manifested when so far all we know is that Belles only manifest in proximity to Morganas, unless I missed something. Even reading the excuse in the second chapter I'm still a bit unsure if it works 3. Chapter 2: I wouldn't mind someone with better airship knowledge than me to tell me if the weaponry of her is too heavy or works out ok. Just seems excessive to me, but I know barely anything about airships so feel free to ignore me. 4. Chapter 3: To draw more attention to the comment on the chapter itself, I don't think that's how you correct a dirigible. 5. Chapter 3: The belle senses thing is interesting. To see it more fleshed out in the future may not be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites Join the conversation Reply to this topic... × Pasted as rich text.

español français english português dph participe à la coredem dialogues, propositions, histoires pour une citoyenneté mondiale Fighting displacement of Fishing Communities in Orissa, India (Mobilisation contre le déplacement de communautés de pêcheurs à Orissa, en Inde) Nalini NAYAK 09 / 2001 Orissa, a province on the eastern coast of India, has a coastline of 480kms. It has four maritime districts : Balasore, Cuttack, Puri and Ganjam. Bordering the upper part of the Bay of Bengal, the state has an extended continental shelf in the northern part, with rivers and estuaries, and a narrow shelf area in the south. As one moves from the north to the south, the marine environment, the fishing communities as well as the technology they use, changes. While pomfret and ’hilsa’ are the main catch in the north, in the south it is more of sardines, anchovies, mackerels and prawns. Both the craft and the gear used varies. For example, while plank boats are used in the north, in the south the raft type ’kattumarans’ and bar boats are common. For the Telugu origin (’noliyas’), fishing community of the south fishing is an age-old tradition, while the fisher folks of the north are Oriyas who combine fishing with agriculture. They live near their agricultural lands. The southern fishing villages are densely populated along sandy beaches. In the pre-Independence era, Gopalpur in northern Orissa was a flourishing port town and the base of the sea-going artisanal fishermen. The creation of the Paradeep port and the Balasore fishing harbours have encouraged the mechanization of fishing craft and the inflow of non-fisherfolk into the fishery. The fertile coastal strip in Balasore district attracted the attention of the military, and, in the mid-1980s, the Central Government decided to set up a missile testing and launching base at Baliapal. This would have directly affected 30,000 fisher people. However, they were able to organize and stall this initiative. Nevertheless, 600 fishing families near the Gopalpur lighthouse were displaced to make way for the Golabandha missile testing. These families were subsequently resettled in the already overpopulated New Bauxipalli village. In the areas now called New Bauxipalli, the voice of Kondamme still cries out in misery: ’Earlier I lived near the Gopalpur lighthouse. We were over 600 families fishing and living there from childhood, and one fine day, some army men came and told us we have to move. We were angry and decided to fight. We realized they were going to create a resettlement village called New Bauxipalli. We did not want to go there because it was already a crowded place, and we knew we would not be able to get much fish there. We asked for the resettlement site to be located in Agripalli, but they did not agree. They were influenced by the powerful moneylenders and liquor merchants.’ The displaced population faces manifold problems. Harassment by the military has been a common problem for the fisher women. Says Kondamme: ’They have blocked off our access to interior villages, which means we have to walk longer distances to the market or even hire transport. What is more, they harass us and our daughters, and there have been numerous cases of molestation and even rape. Who will listen to our cries? They are the military, after all.’ Fisher women from Sodikund village, 4 km north of the Paradeep harbour have the same story. Many of them in this area have been evicted twice, first for the construction of the harbor and then for the establishment of the university. They were not only displaced when the harbour was constructed, but, with the coming of trawlers, they also lost access to good quality fish. Now, merchants with access to capital are able to pay advances to trawler owners and buy off the better quality fish. The trash fish is all that is left for the local fisher women. The women buy and transport this to the drying grounds, where they hire labour to sort and dry the fish. pêcheur, femme, organisation de pêcheurs, déplacement de population, pêche, accès à la propriété, accès à la terre , Inde, Orissa, East India Fishing communities in Orissa, as in other parts of India, are being displaced as coastal areas are increasingly targeted for competing activities, including industrial development, tourism and urbanization. Fishing communities, who have been living along the coasts for generations, rarely have any `legal titles’ to their land. Economically and politically weak, they often have little option but to leave their traditional lands in the face of pressure from the industry and from the government. It is time that the customary rights of these traditional populations to the land they live on, and the waters they fish in, are accorded due recognition. Development should not be at the cost of natural resources and livelihoods of marginalized groups.

java script discussion board responses I’ve provided 2 discussions below that need to be responded. The discussion is the following “How would explain the differences between JavaScript and Java Code to a new student. Why do we have the two and why do most programmers believe that there is no different between the two?”. 1-)Java VS. Javascript Java and JavaScript are, in truth, two distinct JavaScript programming languages. Java and JavaScript do share a brief history together during the early Netscape days of the internet, which explains the similar names. Java is a programming language that produces software for multiple platforms. When a programmer writes a Java application, the compiled code known as bytecode runs on most operating systems, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Javascript is a scripting languages, primarily used on the Web. It is used to enhance HTML pages and is commonly found embedded in HTML code. Object-Oriented Programming. Both languages require the developer to code in terms of objects and their relationships to one another. By extension this gives both languages access to techniques like inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. Front-End Development. Both languages can be used in aspects of front-end development. JavaScript can be embedded directly into HTML, implemented as a framework or library; Java can be used as a Java applet. Back-End Development. Both languages can be used on the server-side. Java has long been used to power back-end technologies like Apache, JBoss, and WebSphere. Node.js has become a launch pad for JavaScript-powered servers. Compiled vs. Interpreted. Java is considered a compiled programming language. JavaScript is considered an interpreted scripting language. Static vs Dynamic Type Checking. Java uses static type checking, where the type of a variable is checked at compile-time. The programmer must specify the type (integer, double, string, etc.) of any variable they create. JavaScript, like most scripting languages, uses dynamic typing, where type safety is verified at runtime. It is not required for a programmer to specify the type of any variable they create. There are many pros and cons for these two paradigms, but the primary advantage of static type checking is that type errors are caught early in development, and because the compiler knows exactly what data types are being used, code typically executes faster or uses less memory. The primary advantage of dynamic type checking is programmer productivity—you are free to assign types at your leisure. 2-)Hello everyone, JavaScript is a lightweight programming language “scripting language”and used to make web pages interactive. It can insert dynamic text into HTML. JavaScript is also known as browser’s language. JavaScript (JS) is not similar or related to Java. Both the languages have a ‘C’ like a syntax and are widely used in client-side Web applications, but there are few similarities only. Java is an object-oriented programming language and have virtual machine platform that allows you to create compiled programs that run on nearly every platform. Java promised, “Write Once, Run Anywhere”. Few differences between Java and JavaScript: JavaScript is an object- based scripting language. JavaScript code run on browser only as JavaScript is developed for browser only. JavaScript requires less memory therefore it is used in web pages. JavaScript has event-based approach to concurrency. Java is an object -oriented programming language. Java applications can run in any virtual machine (JVM) or browser. Java program uses more memory. Java has a thread -based approach to concurrency. When you’re new to programming and hear words like Java and JavaScript (JS), you’ll naturally want to make an association between them.However, both languages came out, almost back-to-back, in the same year. New learners always trying to make sense of the world, looking for patterns and correlations, and it’s sometimes easy to see a pattern where there isn’t one. In this particular case, it may seem like JS is derived from Java. But both are entirely different. Use Discount Code “Newclient” for a 15% Discount!

Nacirema Case Paper Published: 2021-09-27 15:20:03 essay essay Category: Nacirema Type of paper: Essay Hey! We can write a custom essay for you. All possible types of assignments. Written by academics The Nacirema case study reminds us how cultural rituals were many years ago and how some of them are still existing today. The Nacirema tribe has many unconventional practices of how they live day to day. From the article “Body Ritual Among the Nacirema,” it is clear that they believe their bodies are not attractive and should not be presented in a promiscuous way. Professor Linton documented the North American Tribe who think their bodies as naturally disgusting. They perform daily magic rituals to their bodies to prevent it from being decayed or diseased in anyway. Some of the rituals use potions, charms and physical suffering. One ritual they focused on was the one that was concerning the mouth. The Nacirema tribe believed that there is a strong relationship between their mouth and their social life. If they did not perform the oral rituals, it was correlated to them losing their friends and families. They perform a daily “mouth-rite” which is done by “inserting a magic bundle of hog hairs into the mouth, along with certain magical powder, and then moving the bundle in a highly formalized series of gestures. ” (Allard 20) This body ritual is performed daily by everyone in the Nacirema Tribe. If I was to relate this ritual to something similar in the American culture, I would relate to people brushing their teeth every morning. The bundle of hog hairs (pretty disgusting to put in your mouth) is the same as the American toothbrush. The magic powder is similar to the toothpaste and the action of moving it in a series of formalized gestures is the same as us moving our toothbrush around our mouth to brush our teeth (I’m pretty sure everyone has a routine of how they brush their teeth every morning – I know I do). Along with that, the people also visit the “mouth-men” voluntarily once or maybe twice a year for torturous mouth rituals. The “holy-mouth-man” enhances any existing holes in the person’s teeth by using crude tools and then continues to fill the holes with “magical materials. ” These magical materials that are placed into the holes of the teeth are used to stop their teeth from decaying and to draw friends closer. What surprised me is that even if these people did not have any naturally occurring holes in their teeth, the “holy-mouth-man” would gauge out normal teeth to purposely make holes in the client’s mouth. He would then follow through to filling them with the “magic materials. Part of this ritual is similar to the American culture of visiting the dentist. It is recommended for people to visit the dentist at least once or twice a year. The idea of filling any holes in the teeth seems like they are talking about people having cavities in the teeth. In the American culture, dentists use ‘fillers’ which is similar to the “magical material” used to fix the holes in the teeth. I am surprised that the “holy-mouth-man” would proceed to make a hole in a client’s teeth even if they are perfectly fine. I find that appalling and not similar to the American culture. I also find it to be strange that these people still visit the “holy-mouth-man” even though their teeth are not getting any better. They still continue to go through the suffering just to be accepted in the Nacirema Tribe. After reviewing the article by Horace Miner, it is apparent that people of the Nacirema Tribe seem to have a reason for everything they do regardless of whether it is right or wrong or makes sense or not. Some of those reasons make sense but the main one that concerns me is why they inflict pain and harm on one another in these forms of rituals when physical torture is not even required for them. A prime example would be the one I discussed earlier of making holes in teeth when their teeth are perfectly fine. There is no need to purposely cause pain to the client to make a hole in their teeth when it is not necessary. This kind of behavior is related to people who are associated with masochism and sadism. Masochism is derived from inflicting pain on one self and sadism is derived from inflicting pain on others. The people are going to the “mouth-men” to inflict pain on themselves even if they do not need to. What is interesting is that Nacirema is actually American spelled backwards. It brings attention to whether these types of rituals are all make-believe or fantasy with the terms used such as “magic. ” These rituals would not be accepted in the American culture (in the horrendous way it is described) but it relates to diversity and the acceptance of everyone’s culture regardless of whether you will follow it or not per say. This article is a great example of people during barbaric things which might not be acceptable to one person but is the norm to another. We can write your paper just for 11.99$ i want to copy...

Did Jesus not have the Holy Spirit before his baptism? What does it mean that he received the H.S.? Answer: That is actually a difficult question to answer. The Bible is somewhat vague about how Jesus developed. It is one of those mysteries about which we can speculate but which we can not provide a definitive answer (although we can make some reasonable guesses). At what age did Jesus know he was God? When did he know that he was going to die to provide forgiveness of sins? Did Jesus know all things, even as an adult? Did he have to study the Bible in order to know what it said (I assume the answer to that is yes)? Matt 24:36 implies that in his limited human form, even Jesus did not know the day and hour at which he would return. I assume that in his glorified form at the “right hand” of the Father, Jesus is well aware of the day and hour. So, we know that Jesus in his human form had limited knowledge and presumably limited power. I do not think baby Jesus was flying through the air. Perhaps most difficult of all these questions about how Jesus “developed” is what happened at his baptism. One gets a clear indication that Jesus “changed” in at least some sense at his baptism. Matthew 3:16 describes the Holy Spirit “descending like a dove.” What does that mean? Does it mean that Jesus did not have the Holy Spirit with him before that? Does it mean that the Holy Spirit came on him in a special, greater measure at that time? Or was this simply a sign for the benefit of others and that Jesus did not change at all at his baptism? We do not know. Theologians have debated what happened to Jesus at his baptism from the earliest days of the church, including some heretical doctrines such as Docetism (Jesus only appeared to be physical) or Gnosticism (the spiritual Christ occupied the physical Jesus at his baptism). From these examples we can glean that we ought to be cautious about our speculations. Having said all that, I suppose it is time for me to give my opinion. Bear in mind that it is an opinion, and I am not even very confident of my opinion. It is my thinking that Jesus already had a measure of the Holy Spirit, but that in some sense (and in what sense I have really no idea) the Holy Spirit came on Jesus in a special measure at his baptism. Sorry to give a speculation rather than an answer, but that is the best I can do. John Oakes Comments are closed.

Source: Donna Burton, Wikimedia Commons In recent weeks, the world has been shocked by images of US Customs and Border Protection officers on horseback whipping fleeing Haitian migrants with their reins. The cruelty of the scene and the respective races of the victim and the attacker evoked the imagery of colonialism and slavery. This incident was not merely an anecdote. Over the past few months, there has been a wave of immigration from the Caribbean country of Haiti. Political and gang violence are long-term problems for the country, but both have been exacerbated by the recent assassination of the Haitian President, Jovenel Moïse. The US government’s response to this wave of migration was swift and violent. In just nine days, Biden’s regime expelled nearly 4,000 migrants and sent them back to their home country, where conditions of poverty and crime await them. The far right callously dismisses Haiti’s struggles, claiming that the US has no obligation to help foreigners with “their” problems (particularly non-white foreigners). As far as they’re concerned, “America is full.” In actuality, Haiti’s problems are not disconnected from the US. The suffering of the Haitian people is not the consequence of some geographical accident, nor, as some reactionaries claim, is it the inevitable result of Black self-government. The reality is that Haiti has long been one of the most super-exploited nations in existence, leaving it severely underdeveloped, with a GDP per capita of less than $100 per month. Haiti emerged from the first successful mass slave uprising in the Americas in 1791, a heroic endeavor for which their former French masters punished them with an astronomical debt burden. This meant that even after liberating themselves from the condition of slavery, the immense wealth created by the Haitian masses still enriched imperialist France rather than the nation itself. After an unprovoked US invasion in 1915, Haiti suffered nearly two decades under American occupation, during which the American government concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a minority of US-friendly Haitian elites before withdrawing militarily. Decades later, the country remains under the heel of imperialism. Direct colonialism has been replaced by the domination of monopoly-finance capital and unequal terms of trade—with frequent imperialist interventions and occupations. Clothing factories have popped up alongside sugar plantations, but the system of capitalist exploitation remains. Haiti’s economy is dominated by large American corporations, which take home enormous profits created by the Haitian working class. Some 80% of exports from the island go to the US, and most imports come from the US. All of this is the material basis for the desperate violence and political instability driving Haitian immigration to the US. When President Biden was elected, many American workers hoped his presidency would benefit immigrants, although many of his more passive supporters admitted such a benefit would be minor. This crisis has demonstrated that the situation has not improved even a millimeter. Illegal immigration arrests in the interior of the US have declined sharply, but the detention of migrants at the border has seen a significant increase. In fact, the total number of immigrants in ICE detention increased by 62% between Biden’s inauguration in January and mid-September. Despite promising to “close the camps,” Biden has done no such thing, merely recasting them as “overflow facilities” while maintaining a subhuman standard of living for the occupants. Rather than engaging in the barbaric practice of family separation, Biden “humanely” chooses to detain both mother and child in the same humiliating cages. The administration even renewed the contract on a migrant detention facility at the infamous Guantanamo Bay. At the time of writing, the facility is seeking translators fluent in both Spanish and Haitian Creole. It is, therefore, evident that the difference between Trump and Biden is rhetorical, not material. Trump’s attitude to immigrants was openly bloodthirsty, while Biden’s is that of the “respectable” liberal. However, both presidents are the faithful agents of the increasingly desperate and narrow-minded American bourgeoisie. Biden’s efforts to avoid the scrutiny of human rights advocates may lead to worse outcomes for immigrants, as his administration attempts to jettison asylum seekers as fast as possible by irresponsibly accelerating their cases. The “new and improved” Democratic Party procedure uses an Obama-era rule to push migrants seeking asylum to the head of the line, leapfrogging immigrants who have been waiting for years, which puts new asylum seekers before a judge before they have had adequate time to prepare. Often, they do not even have time to hire a lawyer. While tens of millions of Biden voters may not approve of these human rights abuses, his capitalist backers certainly do. Source: public domain In truth, borders represent a garrote around the neck of the international working class. Their real function is not security for populations in general, but security for the capitalists’ profits. The parallel between the mounted white border patrolmen and the slave catchers of the 19th century is more than just aesthetic. The division between Black and white workers serves the same function as the division between documented and undocumented workers. By brutally imposing fictitious distinctions on the working class, the capitalists can extract superprofits from the most oppressed workers while forcing the more “privileged” workers to accept bad conditions by threatening them with replacement by the cheaper workforce. Capital, on the other hand, is never constrained by borders. In the age of modern imperialism, a capitalist can import low-cost specialists, laborers, and resources from any corner of the Earth. At the same time, labor unions, wages, and even corporate taxes are kept localized as much as possible. Global supply chains contort themselves into increasingly complex and inefficient patterns to produce goods at poverty wages while selling them at American prices. If an American union demands higher pay, the company can fire the workers and move its operations to places like Haiti, where workers can be forced by violence and starvation to accept a lower standard of living. As the capitalist crisis deepens, the American bourgeoisie is guarding its borders more jealously than ever. The capitalist state will do everything it can get away with to ensure foreign workers are penned into countries where they can be easily exploited, and that any immigrants who get through the net are too terrorized to organize. As workers, our interests are entirely opposed to this. We must embrace an internationalist perspective, understanding that as long as any mass of workers is super-exploited, we all suffer. Rather than the petty nationalism of the current labor leadership, we need the revolutionary ideas of Marxism to take the movement forward. What we need is a class-independent workers’ party that fights against the imperialist terror of the Democrats and Republicans and for the immediate and unconditional legalization of all immigrants.

Chapter 4: Conversations at the end of life When the person is asleep or unconscious Even when the dying person is no longer awake, you can still provide support and comfort by sitting at the bedside in silence, or by quietly reminiscing about shared memories. Gently holding hands and speaking softly can be nurturing and soothing. The dying person may be able to hear your voice and feel your hand until the moment of death. You can reassure them that they do not have to hold on and they have your permission to die.
A phenotype (from Greek phainein, meaning “to show”, and typos, meaning “type”) is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, phenology, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest). A phenotype results from the expression of an organism's genes as well as the influence of environmental factors and the interactions between the two. When two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species, the species is called polymorph. see Tumor phenotype. • phenotype.txt • Last modified: 2020/10/21 08:33 • by administrador

What Are Bank Deposits? Money is said to be the ultimate value equivalent on earth. It is not that important to be well versed with money and its different types since money is something that would never cease to amaze and captivate the hearts and minds of people all over the world. In fact, money is nothing but an idea or a medium through which the exchange of goods and services takes place between individuals or nations. If you have any amount of money in your bank account, then you are just like everybody else. If you do not have any money in your bank account then you are like everybody else. Money has been used since ages for transaction purposes. This has become one of the fundamental necessities of people all around the world. Paper money has been the first mode of money in human’s history and it gradually transformed from gold into a more stable medium of exchange as compared to the traditional way of making use of precious metals such as gold, silver and copper. Although bank deposits have been very useful in terms of facilitating the smooth transfer of funds throughout the world, nowadays, most of the transactions are made through the electronic means. Electronic money or cheques are basically made up of a number of different components and bank deposits are just one of them. In addition to bank deposits, there are other types of bank notes as well including bond notes, stock certificates, precious metal deposits, and so on. Commercial bank money is nothing but traveler’s checks that are obtained from the various branches of commercial banks. These commercial bank deposits are considered as liabilities by the central banks of the country and the money thus deposited is known as national reserves. The central banks of various countries have been known to control the level of currency by buying and selling foreign currency as per the need and situations.
The tropical ecosystem of Hawaii is home to a wide range of plants, which compete in beauty and color. But Hawaiian people not only admire the flowers in their natural environment, but they also wear them as jewelry. Wearing flowers is a very old Hawaiian tradition and is full of history and significance. The Hawaiian lei The history of Hawaiian lei, the flower garlands wore around the neck, starts with the first Polynesians who came from Tahiti. The garlands were made of flowers, leaves, feathers, nuts, seeds, shells, and even bones and teeth of animals. They were meant to make people look beautiful and different from one another, show wealth and rank, and even as a royal symbol. But lei had deeper meanings too. It was used in spiritual rituals and as a symbol of peace. Nowadays the lei is probably the most popular Hawaiian symbol. Tourists have been welcomed with lei in Hawaii since the beginning of the XXth century. It’s also part of many rituals and local beliefs. For example, when someone is leaving the islands, the person throws a lei in the ocean to make sure they would return someday. Since 1928, Hawaii has an official Lei Day, which is celebrated every year on May, 1st. You can wear a lei in Hawaii on many occasions and even without an occasion. You can make the lei yourself, buy it, or receive it as a welcome gesture. However, it’s impolite to refuse a lei or to remove it in the presence of the person who gave it to you. But who could refuse such a beautiful garland made from tropical flowers in bright colors? Wearing flowers behind the ear The lei isn’t the only way you can wear flowers in Hawaii. You can wear them around the head (haku, a shorter lei), around the hips (hei), on the wrist or ankle (kupe’e), in the hair, or behind the ear. But make sure you choose the ear according to your marital status. The Hawaiian tradition says married or in a relationship women wear the flower behind the left ear, while single women wear the flower behind the right ear. The most popular flowers wore behind the ear are Plumeria flowers. You can see them on hula dancers as they’re part of their costumes. Plumeria flowers signify grace, beauty, a new beginning, creativity, or charm. The Hawaiian tradition of wearing flowers is deeply connected with the spirit of Aloha, with the Hawaiian relation with nature and the universe. It speaks about beauty and grace, gratitude, and love. It has deep meanings and spiritual connections. Discover the true face of Hawaii by embracing and respecting its traditions.
male dancer in all black jumping on a dimly lit stage What Is Contemporary Dance? Contemporary dance is everywhere these days and has only been getting more popular since its early development in the mid-20th century. But what exactly is contemporary dance? Here’s a quick overview. Tradition Meets Innovation Contemporary dance was born in a time when a lot of new music was flooding America, most dominantly jazz and blues, and with this new music came new dances, like the Charleston and the Lindy Hop. Choreographers took notice and began fusing the intense and highly stylized legwork of ballet with the more torso and arm-based moves being performed in ballrooms and on dance floors. The result was an exciting and fresh style of dance that allowed for performers to draw from the wide physical vocabulary of ballet without being restricted by its rigid forms and adherence to strict traditions. At its core, contemporary dance is a departure from tradition while still using the language and movement of tradition in its new forms. It is an evolution of dance that still carries with it the genetic memory of ballet in a more expanded DNA. There was a split in the first half of the 20th century where ballet continued to develop within the confines of its own tradition while contemporary dance branched off from that tradition and flourished into a completely different animal; related, but not the same. Moving Forward Once contemporary dance became a recognized medium with its own unique styles and movements, choreographers began exploring what the boundaries were in each new performance. New questions and ideas arose out of each production that further defined and expanded the meaning of the format. In some productions narrative movement was put aside in favor of more flow and abstraction. Some dancers incorporated aspects of African and Asian dance traditions. More creative freedom flowed from the departure from ballet as dancers drew inspiration from early “free” dancers like Isadora Duncan and the choreographer Merce Cunningham. Much like the jazz musicians who were developing that genre through the 20th century, contemporary dancers started improvising as a means of creating new forms of motion and expression. Today’s World Of Dance In a nutshell, contemporary dance draws from the traditions of the past, as well as various styles of music and motion, to create a more open and free form of expression. Incorporating a wider range of motion than ballet that allows for torso and arm motions along with freer legwork, contemporary dance reflects the diverse and eclectic music and theater traditions that it draws inspiration from. Choreographers today, for instance, can choose to tell a story entirely out of electronic dance music and a structureless, improvisational style. Or they can use elements of ballet and swing dancing for a free movement piece with no story at all. Additionally, contemporary choreographers can dabble in elements of the space around them, such as using the floor or the structure of the room they are in to help tell their story and fuel their movement. Mackenzie Dustman, one of our contemporary instructors at CLI Studios, uses unique floorwork and breathwork in her classes. She’ll begin class with breathing or meditation exercises to help calm the mind and ground the body before diving into strong, fluid choreography that plays with transitioning from move to move while remaining connected to the floor. You can check out all of her classes on CLI Studios by visiting her choreographer page. Even the relationship between the music and dancers can be more detached and free-associative if the artists so desire. Artists can train for contemporary dance using unique posture and breathing exercises and meditative stretching techniques as well as using more common tools like barre training.

Sous une chape de plomb and other lead-related French expressions President Macron’s newly-announced €30billion investment plan includes the exploration of seabeds and the potential of accessing certain rare materials, including lead. We explore three expressions related to the metal... 22 October 2021 Learn French words and expressions you may hear in the news today Pic: The Connexion President Macron unveiled the ‘France 2030’ investment plan on October 12, which includes the exploration of oceans. The plan consists of dedicating €30billion to various departments such as the health and energy sectors. Around €2billion will go towards the exploration of space and seabeds, the latter of which has worried environmentalists. Read more: Key points of Macron’s multi-billion euro investment plan for France France has the second-largest maritime space in the world due to its overseas territories. However, President Macron assured that the plan is to ‘explore’ as opposed to ‘exploit’, although he did mention the possibility of ‘access to certain rare materials’. Among these could be elements such as lead, platinum, copper, iron or cobalt. We look at three French expressions related to lead: Sous une chape de plomb (literally ‘under a leaden cloak): This refers to something which makes us feel trapped, usually a moral burden. In the Middle Ages, a ‘chape de plomb’ was an instrument of torture. ‘Chape’ can be translated as either ‘screed’ (a layer of material) or ‘cope’ (a priest’s cloak). Some sources say that the ‘chape de plomb’ was a heavy leaden screed, which was used to crush prisoners’ rib cages. Others claim that it was a leaden cope used to weigh the prisoner down and cause them suffering. Nevertheless, due to the association with guilt and the church (which would have ordered the punishment), it is now said that somebody with a guilty conscience is ‘under a leaden cloak’. Avoir du plomb dans l’aile (literally ‘to have lead in your wing): This means to have lost strength or efficiency. The phrase is said to have been coined in the 18th or 19th century by hunters who, after shooting a bird, would see it struggle to fly and fall to the ground. The expression is now used commonly to describe someone who has become weak, for example somebody in bad health. Un soleil de plomb (literally ‘a leaden sun’): An English equivalent of this expression might be ‘blazing sun’. Here, the sun’s rays are compared to lead - heavy and thus difficult to withstand, overwhelming. The earliest use of this expression is likely by Alphonse de Lamartine in his 1835 book Voyage en Orient (Journey to the Orient).

CNC Motion Control Using digital technologies to create spare parts Digitalization is the key to rapid and precise repairs, but repairing critical equipment can be a time-consuming task. This is especially true if original parts are difficult to source, which has led some to produce new casting parts using additive manufacturing technologies. By Jennifer Cardillo, Sulzer September 5, 2018 Digitalization is the key to rapid and precise repairs. Repairing critical equipment can be a time-consuming task, especially if it has been in service for a long time and original parts are difficult to source, which has led some companies to casting parts for a wide range of rotating equipment using additive manufacturing technologies. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will always do their best to provide a comprehensive array of spare parts for their products. However, after equipment has been in service for decades, the OEM may not be able to deliver this level of support. The manufacturer may have been acquired by another entity or ceased producing parts for this machine and have no further reserves in stock. Replacing and repairing parts is important to maintain the equipment and to keep efficiency at the required levels. When larger pieces of equipment are involved, their role is often more critical. Making a timely repair is very important in terms of downtime. Laser scanning for precise manufacturing Creating a set of 3-D engineering drawings is now much less time-consuming, thanks to hand-held laser scanners that can measure items quickly and very accurately. When creating replacement parts for crucial pieces of equipment, speed is of the essence. Using the latest generation of laser scanners enables engineers to gather 480,000 points of data every second. Seven intersecting laser lines ensure that even the most complex geometry is captured accurately. On-site engineering For equipment that cannot be easily moved, on-site engineers can visit customers’ premises to offer specialist advice and take essential measurements to create new engineering drawings. Multiple portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and laser scanners for on-site data acquisition. These allow dimensions to be repeatable within 0.025 mm. Once the basic dimensional data has been acquired, design engineers can then fine-tune the design of the new component. For example, the geometry of an impeller can be adjusted to make sure clearances are optimized. The designers can also make alterations to the original design to account for changes in the application or performance needs. Additive manufacturing for molds Traditionally, casting a new component involved creating a wooden pattern of the original and putting it into a sand-casting box. This is a very time-consuming process and it can take weeks to finalize it. It is also subject to considerable inaccuracies, especially if the wooden patterns are stored for any length of time and become distorted. Now, designers can export the engineering drawings in a number of file formats, which can be utilized by a wide variety of machine tools and robots. One method is to utilize a 3-D sand printer that uses the data to rapidly build a mold of the new component. Using layers of sand and adhesive, the 3-D printer can create a mold that can withstand the high temperatures of molten metal that will form the new component. Saving time with patternless casting During the mold creation process, design engineers use computational fluid dynamics to predict the flow of gases within the mold as the molten metal is poured. It is essential that the gases have effective escape routes, or vents, since trapped gases would lead to weaknesses in the new component. The vents can be incorporated into the 3-D computer-aided design (CAD) drawing and included easily in the sand printing process. The process takes about 48 hours to complete, but depending on the size of the components, multiple molds can be printed at the same time, making it more efficient. Another method of creating a mold, which is often used for making casings, involves two halves, known as the cope and the drag, which are brought together to create the finished shape. Today, the process starts with a solid block of sand that is machined using a multi-axis CNC robot milling tool to create a precision mold as laid out in the 3-D CAD drawings. To produce a wooden pattern for the sand-casting box the traditional way takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the pattern form. Using a 3-D sand printer removes the need for a pattern; the mold is printed directly and finished in 48 to 60 hours. Machining a precision mold from a sand block takes 2 to 4 hours. An on-site foundry is central to creating new parts, and it is capable of pouring 100 different alloys for castings up to 450 kg. The designers determine the exact composite of the metal alloy by the component and its application; advanced metallurgy knowledge enables a company to offer new components with better durability than the originals. Improved precision from CNC machining Once the basic building blocks for a new component have been created, the machine shop takes over to establish the final dimensions. The machine shop is equipped with CNC vertical turning lathes for impellers and bowls, horizontal shaft lathes, milling equipment and grinders, enabling complex components for delivery. The shop also provides extensive quality control procedures and equipment to ensure every part is manufactured to the highest standards. Quality control improves reliability In addition, the service center can provide heat treatment, certified material reports, chemical analysis, and a range of material tests and non-destructive testing (NDT). This ensures the reliability of the parts and compliance with customer specifications. Jennifer Cardillo, marketing and communications manager Americas, rotating equipment services, Sulzer.

Why Fitness Education Is as Vital as Textbook Education Pursuing sports actively helps build confidence among children Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Physical fitness is just as important for children as learning letters and numbers. This realization is not of recent origin; most schools have a certain number of periods dedicated to physical activities. However, in the context of rising incidences of lifestyle-related diseases among children and adolescents, the question is, is this enough? Youngsters today need a more active lifestyle to be really fit. Moreover, being physically healthy and pursuing sports actively build confidence and fosters a positive attitude. In themselves, these are good reasons to encourage children to be active. Before the advent of televised distractions, children were often found outside the house playing in parks and even in the streets. But what really reduced playtime drastically was the arrival and rapid spread of the internet. Online games and social networks have turned out to be an addiction that the new generations have fallen prey to. Instead of going out to play with real friends, they are now keener to show off their prowess online, competing with virtual friends. Childhood obesity, depression and diabetes in children have become far more common today than they were at point in time earlier. Doctors are advising parents to encourage children to engage in physical activities above and beyond the routine games periods in school. How to Make Physical Activity Attractive for Children? To make children want to go out and play, we must help them develop an interest in sports, games and health early in life. Both parents and schools have a part to play in this. There are many things that schools can do to help students lead an active lifestyle from a young age. Schools already have a system where physical exercise periods are held twice or thrice every week. Encouraging students to participate in a variety of sports activities can help them identify a sport that is right for them and suits their interest and ability. It does not need to be a physical sport only. They should be encouraged to try games like chess, which may be a better choice for some students. They will automatically develop the habit of physical exercise on realising that a fit body is required for a fit mind. In fact, physically active students are consequently healthier and have been found to be better in academics as well. They miss school less as they are sick less often than children who are less physically active. The government, too, has a major role to play in promoting a culture of daily fitness in schools. More time needs to be dedicated to physical activities in school, ideally about thirty minutes every day. Advising schools to restructure the curriculum to accommodate this time must be prioritised. With India doing well in international sports events like gymnastics, table tennis and badminton, schools should also be encouraged to have an indoor gym with basic equipment for gymnastics, badminton and other indoor sports. This will provide students with a wider choice of activities. Schools can involve parents in their sports programmes. Parents may volunteer to coach the school junior teams for some sports. Involving parents will motivate the students to participate with greater enthusiasm. Physical Activity Beyond School Building an active lifestyle is not a very difficult proposition. It is as easy as walking or cycling a short distance instead of driving. As a family, planning a daily walk of thirty minutes to sixty minutes can be easily accomplished. As little as thirty minutes of physical activity in a day can increase concentration, focus and self-esteem. Other than physical activity periods in school and daily exercises at home, there are other activities that can serve the same purpose. Dance, whether the classical or contemporary form, or even Zumba, is an excellent form of exercise in addition to being an art form. The benefit that one can derive from an exhaustive dance class is in no way less that that derived from a brisk walk or jog. Yoga, too, is of great benefit for someone who wants activity but would rather avoid vigorous running or contact sports. Many schools already have a yoga hour for all students. Yoga improves concentration and calms down the agitated mind; hence, students can focus better on curricular pursuits. Martial arts are also known to benefit the people who practice it by increasing focus and building discipline. There are many forms to choose from. Then there is the local gym for people who want the guidance of a trainer to help them reach their activity goals. Alternative Physical Activities In the age of internet, the list of physical activities would be incomplete without mentioning ‘exergaming’. As internet and video gaming has become extremely popular, the games, too, have evolved from purely sedentary ones to those where a degree of physical movement is required. They have come to be known as exergaming and many people, both children and adults, enjoy playing these games. Though playing games on the internet or WiFi is not the ideal activity option, it is better than simply sitting idle while watching television or surfing the internet. Fitness needs to be a lifetime commitment. One who commits to it early prolongs wellness and suffers less later in life. However, it is never too late to begin and ensure good health for yourself. With a huge population of young people, a wholesome health initiative adopted by individuals and the government can result in a physically fitter India.
13 Thread Progress 13 Thread Progress When multiple threads access the same data structure you often need to know when all threads have completed their accesses. For example, in order to know when it is safe to deallocate the data structure. One simple way to accomplish this is to reference count all accesses to the data structure. The problem with this approach is that the cache line where the reference counter is located needs to be communicated between all involved processors. Such communication can become extremely expensive and will scale poorly if the reference counter is frequently accessed. That is, we want to use some other approach of keeping track of threads than reference counting. Different hardware architectures have different memory models. Some architectures allows very aggressive reordering of memory accesses while other architectures only reorder a few specific cases. Common to all modern hardware is, however, that some type of reordering will occur. When using locks to protect all memory accesses made from multiple threads such reorderings will not be visible. The locking primitives will ensure that the memory accesses will be ordered. When using lock free algorithms one do however have to take this reordering made by the hardware into account. Hardware memory barriers or memory fences are instructions that can be used to enforce order between memory accesses. Different hardware architectures provide different memory barriers. Lock free algorithms need to use memory barriers in order to ensure that memory accesses are not reordered in such ways that the algorithm breaks down. Memory barriers are also expensive instructions, so you typically want to minimize the use of these instructions. The "thread progress" functionality in the Erlang VM is used to address these problems. The name "thread progress" was chosen since we want to use it to determine when all threads in a set of threads have made such progress so that two specific events have taken place for all them. The set of threads that we are interested in we call managed threads. The managed threads are the only threads that we get any information about. These threads have to frequently report progress. Not all threads in the system are able to frequently report progress. Such threads cannot be allowed in the set of managed threads and are called unmanaged threads. An example of unmanaged threads are threads in the async thread pool. Async threads can be blocked for very long times and by this be prevented from frequently reporting progress. Currently only scheduler threads and a couple of other threads are managed threads. Any thread in the system may use the thread progress functionality in order to determine when the following events have occurred at least once in all managed threads: 1. The thread has returned from other code to a known state in the thread progress functionality, which is independent of any other code. 2. The thread has executed a full memory barrier. These events, of course, need to occur ordered to other memory operations. The operation of determining this begins by initiating the thread progress operation. The thread that initiated the thread progress operation after this poll for the completion of the operation. Both of these events must occur at least once after the thread progress operation has been initiated, and at least once before the operation has completed in each managed thread. This is ordered using communication via memory which makes it possible to draw conclusion about the memory state after the thread progress operation has completed. Lets call the progress made from initiation to comletion for "thread progress". Assuming that the thread progress functionality is efficient, a lot of algorithms can both be simplified and made more efficient than using the first approach that comes to mind. A couple of examples follows. By being able to determine when the first event above has occurred we can easily know when all managed threads have completed accesses to a data structure. This can be determined the following way. We have an implementation of some functionality F using a data structure D. The reference to D is always looked up before D is being accessed, and the references to D is always dropped before we leave the code implementing F. If we remove the possibility to look up D and then wait until the first event has occurred in all managed threads, no managed threads can have any references to the data structure D. This could for example have been achieved by using reference counting, but the cache line containing the reference counter would in this case be ping ponged between all processors accessing D at every access. By being able to determine when the second event has occurred it is quite easy to do complex modifications of memory that needs to be seen consistently by other threads without having to resort to locking. By doing the modifications, then issuing a full memory barrier, then wait until the second event has occurred in all managed threads, and then publish the modifications, we know that all managed threads reading this memory will get a consistent view of the modifications. Managed threads reading this will not have to issue any extra memory barriers at all. In order to be able to determine when all managed threads have reached the states that we are interested in we need to communicate between all involved threads. We of course want to minimize this communication. We also want threads to be able to determine when thread progress has been made relatively fast. That is we need to have some balance between comunication overhead and time to complete the operation. I will only present the most important functions in the API here. • ErtsThrPrgrVal erts_thr_progress_later(void) - Initiation of the operation. The thread progress value returned can be used testing for completion of the operation. • int erts_thr_progress_has_reached(ErtsThrPrgrVal val) - Returns a non zero value when we have reached the thread progress value passed as argument. That is, when a non zero value is returned the operation has completed. When a thread calls my_val = erts_thr_progress_later() and waits for erts_thr_progress_has_reached(my_val) to return a non zero value it knows that thread progress has been made. While waiting for erts_thr_progress_has_reached() to return a non zero value we typically do not want to block waiting, but instead want to continue working with other stuff. If we run out of other stuff to work on we typically do want to block waiting until we have reached the thread progress value that we are waiting for. In order to be able to do this we provide functionality for waking up a thread when a certain thread progress value has been reached: • void erts_thr_progress_wakeup(ErtsSchedulerData esdp, ErtsThrPrgrVal val) - Request wake up. The calling thread will be woken when thread progress has reached val. Managed threads frequently need to update their thread progress by calling the following functions: • int erts_thr_progress_update(ErtsSchedulerData esdp) - Update thread progress. If a non zero value is returned erts_thr_progress_leader_update() has to be called without any locks held. • int erts_thr_progress_leader_update(ErtsSchedulerData esdp) - Leader update thread progress. Unmanaged threads can delay thread progress being made: • ErtsThrPrgrDelayHandle erts_thr_progress_unmanaged_delay(void) - Delay thread progress. • void erts_thr_progress_unmanaged_continue(ErtsThrPrgrDelayHandle handle) - Let thread progress continue. Scheduler threads can schedule an operation to be executed by the scheduler itself when thread progress has been made: • void erts_schedule_thr_prgr_later_op(void (funcp)(void ), void argp, ErtsThrPrgrLaterOp memp) - Schedule a call to funcp. The call (funcp)(argp) will be executed when thread progress has been made since the call to erts_schedule_thr_prgr_later_op() was made. In order to determine when the events has happened we use a global counter that is incremented when all managed threads have called erts_thr_progress_update() (or erts_thr_progress_leader_update()). This could naively be implemented using a "thread confirmed" counter. This would however cause an explosion of communication where all involved processors would need to communicate with each other at each update. Instead of confirming at a global location each thread confirms that it accepts in increment of the global counter in its own cache line. These confirmation cache lines are located in sequence in an array, and each confirmation cache line will only be written by one and only one thread. One of the managed threads always have the leader responsibility. This responsibility may jump between threads, but as long as there are some activity in the system always one of them will have the leader responsibility. The thread with the leader responsibility will call erts_thr_progress_leader_update() which will check that all other threads have confirmed an increment of the global counter before doing the increment of the global counter. The leader thread is the only thread reading the confirmation cache lines. Doing it this way we will get a communication pattern of information going from the leader thread out to all other managed threads and then back from the other threads to the leader thread. This since only the leader thread will write to the global counter and all other threads will only read it, and since each confirmation cache lines will only be written by one specific thread and only read by the leader thread. When each managed thread is distributed over different processors, the communication between processors will be a reflection of this communication pattern between threads. The value returned from erts_thr_progress_later() equals the, by this thread, latest confirmed value plus two. The global value may be latest confirmed value or latest confirmed value minus one. In order to be certain that all other managed threads actually will call erts_thr_progress_update() at least once before we reach the value returned from erts_thr_progress_later(), the global counter plus one is not enough. This since all other threads may already have confirmed current global value plus one at the time when we call erts_thr_progress_later(). They are however guaranteed not to have confirmed global value plus two at this time. The above described implementation more or less minimizes the comunication needed before we can increment the global counter. The amount of communication in the system due to the thread progress functionality however also depend on the frequency with which managed threads call erts_thr_progress_update(). Today each scheduler thread calls erts_thr_progress_update() more or less each time an Erlang process is scheduled out. One way of further reducing communication due to the thread progress functionality is to only call erts_thr_progress_update() every second, or third time an Erlang process is scheduled out, or even less frequently than that. However, by doing updates of thread progress less frequently all operations depending on the thread progress functionality will also take a longer time. Delay of Thread Progress by Unmanaged Threads In order to implement delay of thread progress from unmanaged threads we use two reference counters. One being current and one being waiting. When an unmanaged thread wants to delay thread progress it increments current and gets a handle back to the reference counter it incremented. When it later wants to enable continuation of thread progress it uses the handle to decrement the reference counter it previously incremented. When the leader threads is about to increment the global thread progress counter it verifies that the waiting counter is zero before doing so. If not zero, the leader isn't allowed to increment the global counter, and needs to wait before it can do this. When it is zero, it swaps the waiting and current counters before increasing the global counter. From now on the new waiting counter will decrease, so that it eventually will reach zero, making it possible to increment the global counter the next time. If we only used one reference counter it would potentially be held above zero for ever by different unmanaged threads. When an unmanaged thread increment the current counter it will not prevent the next increment of the global counter, but instead the increment after that. This is sufficient since the global counter needs to be incremented two times before thread progress has been made. It is also desirable not to prevent the first increment, since the likelihood increases that the delay is withdrawn before any increment of the global counter is delayed. That is, the operation will cause as little disruption as possible. However, this feature of delaying thread progress from unmanaged threads should preferably be used as little as possible, since heavy use of it will cause contention on the reference counter cache lines. The functionality is however very useful in code which normally only executes in managed threads, but which may under some infrequent circumstances be executed in other threads. The overhead caused by the thread progress functionality is more or less fixed using the same amount of schedulers regardless of the number of uses of the functionality. Already today quite a lot of functionality use it, and we plan to use it even more. When rewriting old implementations of ERTS internal functionality to use the thread progress functionality, this implies removing communication in the old implementation. Otherwise it is simply no point rewriting the old implementation to use the thread progress functionality. Since the thread progress overhead is more or less fixed, the rewrite will cause a reduction of the total communication in the system. An Example The main structure of an ETS table was originally managed using reference counting. Already a long time ago we replaced this strategy since the reference counter caused contention on each access of the table. The solution used was to schedule "confirm deletion" jobs on each scheduler in order to know when it was safe to deallocate the table structure of a removed table. These confirm deletion jobs needed to be allocated. That is, we had to allocate and deallocate as many blocks as schedulers in order to deallocate one block. This of course was a quite an expensive operation, but we only needed to do this once when removing a table. It was more important to get rid of the contention on the reference counter which was present on every operation on the table. When the thread progress functionality had been introduced, we could remove the code implementing the "confirm deletion" jobs, and then just schedule a thread progress later operation which deallocates the structure. Besides simplifying the code a lot, we got an increase of more than 10% of the number of transactions per second handled on a mnesia tpcb benchmark executing on a quad core machine.
EU-erklæring på verdensdagen mot dødsstraff 19. oktober sluttet Norge seg til en EU-erklæring i forbindelse med verdensdagen mot dødsstraff. On the European and World Day against the Death Penalty, the European Union and the Council of Europe reaffirm their firm opposition to capital punishment at all times and in all circumstances. The death penalty is a cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment contrary to the right to life. Its abolition is essential to ensure respect for human dignity. This year’s World Day is dedicated to women. Although women represent a small percentage of global death sentences, gender-based discrimination continues to impact women at all levels of the criminal justice system. In some countries, women are sentenced to death at higher rates than men for offences linked to sexual morality, such as adultery. Moreover, mitigating circumstances related to gender-based violence and abuse are rarely taken into consideration during the criminal process. The abolition of the death penalty is primarily a question of political will. We welcome the fact that the number of countries that are still executing people has continued to fall. Last year, no executions took place in 176 countries, representing 91% of the UN member states. Every year there are new steps towards global abolition of the death penalty. On 8 October, Sierra Leone abolished the death penalty. This year saw one more abolition in the USA: the State of Virginia. President Biden’s intention to abolish the death penalty at the federal level in the United States, as well as the moratorium on executions imposed by the US Attorney General are important steps for the future.. Armenia ratified the second optional protocol on the abolition of the death penalty, and Kazakhstan is in the process of finalising its ratification. We urge Belarus to move towards abolition. Ending the trade in goods used in capital punishment is particularly important for eliminating the death penalty. Reflecting the EU ‘Anti-Torture’ Regulation, the Council of Europe this year adopted a Recommendation that aims to stop European participation in this terrible trade (Recommendation CM/Rec(2021)2 “on measures against the trade in goods used for the death penalty, torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment”). We encourage all Council of Europe member states to implement it. We count on those Council of Europe member states, which have not yet acceded to the relevant Protocols to the European Convention on Human Rights, to do so without delay. The Global Alliance for Torture-Free Trade today involves 62 states. We call on all states to join it and to step up efforts towards establishing common international standards on torture-free trade. In the run up to the 2022 World Congress against the Death Penalty, we will continue to support increased public debate and awareness-raising activities concerning the death penalty and its appalling impact on families and societies. We will not stop our work and our vigilance, our dialogue with those who have not yet accomplished abolition and our support to civil society and NGOs until no further death sentence is applied.
Tomatoes send out ‘warning signals’ when attacked by insects PELOTAS, Brazil — Tomatoes send out an electric “warning” signal to the rest of the plant when insects attack, a new study reveals. The alarm system is so sensitive, even the tiny footsteps of a caterpillar can set it off. A team from Brazil says this system triggers the release of defense hormones to help protect the leaves and stem of tomato plants. Although some may find it funny when green thumbs talk to their plants, the latest findings add to evidence that plant really do have “feelings” – just like humans. “What we found is that fruits can share important information such as caterpillar attack–which is a serious issue for a plant–with the rest of the plant, and that can probably prepare other parts of the plant for the same attack,” says first author Dr. Gabriela Niemeyer Reissig from the Federal University of Pelotas in a media release. Using AI to reveal tomato signals The study finds foul-tasting chemicals are let out by stalks, leaves, and branches — making them less appealing to hungry bugs. Tomatoes transmit their electrical tip-off through sap. The vitamin-rich water flows into the fruit, boosting growth. However, scientists have now discovered there’s also communication in the opposite direction going back to the plant. “Since fruits are part of the plant, made of the same tissues of the leaves and stems, why couldn’t they communicate with the plant, informing it about what they are experiencing, just like regular leaves do?” Dr. Niemeyer Reissig adds. In experiments, the team placed tomato plants in a Faraday’s cage. This is a mesh-like structure that shields contents from static electric fields. Electrodes at the ends of branches measured the electrical responses after the hanging fruits were attacked by caterpillars for 24 hours. Researchers also used machine learning (or artificial intelligence) to identify these patterns. They found a clear difference between the signals before and after the insect onslaught. Biochemical sensors also showed an increase in the production of defensive chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, even in parts far from the damage. The study in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems provides the first “big picture” overview of a plant’s electrical signals. The results could lead to the development of improved farming techniques and help feed the world. Estimates show that humans will need to produce about 50 percent more food in the same land area by 2050 to cope with a population of 10 billion individuals. Plants are getting a ‘feel’ for their surroundings Dr. Niemeyer Reissig wants to see if the phenomenon holds true for other plant species as well as different types of threats. She says AI technology can answer these and other questions. It opens the door to more environmentally friendly insect control in agriculture. “If studies like ours continue to advance and the techniques for measuring electrical signals in open environments continue to improve, it will be possible to detect infestation of agricultural pests quite early, allowing for less aggressive control measures and more accurate insect management,” the study author concludes. “Understanding how the plant interacts with its fruits, and the fruits among themselves, may bring insights about how to ‘manipulate’ this communication for enhancing fruit quality, resistance to pests and shelf life after harvest.” Recent research in the United States has discovered that plants have a sense of touch and can “feel” their fruit and leaves being picked. Another study reveals that shrubs communicate with each other about bees and other pollinators or predators using chemical messages. SWNS writer Mark Waghorn contributed to this report.

A large fraction of the organic carbon derived from land that is transported through inland waters is decomposed along river systems and emitted to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). The Amazon River outgasses nearly as much CO2 as the rainforest sequesters on an annual basis, representing ~25% of global CO2 emissions from inland waters. However, current estimates of CO2 outgassing from the Amazon basin are based on a conservative upscaling of measurements made in the central Amazon, meaning both basin and global scale budgets are likely underestimated.
Texas Burns Up in the Summer Sun Records have been broken, rivers, lakes, ponds, and creeks run dry, will rain ever come? These past 8 years of San Antonio history has been one huge drought, the longest drought in the history of the United States! The air over Texas is filled with smoke as fire crews all across Texas race to contain the raging infernos all over Texas. All of these fires can be prevented if we all take the necessary precautions. You may have heard about the brushfire that took place at Stone Oak and Evans road on September 4th. The flames took nearly 3 hours to contain and almost 5 hours to put out. The fire started when a San Antonio water truck engine overheated and pulled over into the grass. The grass caught on fire when the truck pulled into the grass and the heat from the exhaust pipe. The moral of the Stone Oak fire is to if you have to pull over or stop for any reason, watch out for dry grass and and any flammable materials, try to find some gravel or concrete to pull over onto instead of into the grass. Later, on September 5th, a large wildfire started near the northern border of Camp Bullis and it spread to Ralph Fair Road, and it almost crossed it completely, but the fire crews were able to contain most of the flames. The cause of the fire is unknown, but the fire was still very large and the flames burned over 300 acres of land. This also shows how severe these fires can be, and that is why we must take precautions to prevent these fires. Another fire started on September 8th in southern San Antonio, as it spread it quickly burned down 4 houses, 3 other structures, and 16 cars. According to news reports the fire burned 16 acres of land. The investigation has so far led people to believe that the fire started because of people burning trash. In this drought we must do everything we can to prevent any more fires. You can help prevent fires by keeping hot materials and flames of all kinds (even embers) away from any burnable materials. The smallest spark can start a wildfire in this heat, so take all the precautions that you can.

Prevention of Kidney Diseases Through a Healthy Lifestyle The more the medical community know about kidney diseases, the more it becomes apparent that everyone has to do their job in keeping their kidneys healthy. As with most medical conditions, prevention is always better than cure. There's no point in living in the fast lane only to one day be subjected to agonizing pain because of kidney stone, for example. Sure, technology has developed new methods of treating kidney diseases. But this doesn't change the fact that living a healthy life costs less than several sessions of medical treatment. One of the most important things to do to have a healthier set of kidney is to always drink sufficient water. As ridiculous as it sounds, a lot of people are not able to meet the recommended hydration amount every day. Some forego drinking because of being preoccupied with something while others have grown rather apathetic to their thirst stimulus. Drinking the right amount of water daily should be a habit, if it's not already complied, though everyone should also remember that drinking too much water can cause its own set of problems. Just try to keep it somewhere around the daily recommendation. Another healthy approach to prevention of kidney diseases is by taking in supplements. These days, people are more likely than not, unable to meet their daily nutritional values. With so many processed food that promise convenience and amazing flavors, it's easy to lose sight of healthy options, particularly vegetables. By taking supplements, people who are unable to eat healthy meals regularly can offset the lack of nutrients, nutrients that their body crave badly. With enough vitamins and minerals supplied to the body, numerous medical conditions are kept at bay. The body is effective at self-regulation, to begin with. But it fails to retain its usual regenerative capability and immunity if there are no nutrients to work with. Of course, it goes without saying that buying a great supplement is imperative. Avoid purchasing shady supplements from suppliers who are getting negative reviews. Or aren't even that reputable at all. Check out customer reviews and ratings of certain supplement brands before placing an order or two.
What is meant by WORA in Java? What is WORA explain? Write once, run anywhere (WORA) is a term that refers to a particular program’s supposed ability to run on all common OSs (operating systems). The term, sometimes also expressed as write once, run everywhere (WORE), was originally coined by Sun Microsystems in reference to Java. What is the core philosophy of WORA? Platform Independence Java has a philosophy called WORA (Writing Once, Run Anywhere). Java code is compiled into an intermediate format, called bytecode, which is to be executed in the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Any system that runs a JVM is able to execute the Java code. Why Java is considered as write once run everywhere? The “Write Once, Run Everywhere” slogan refers to the fact that an application written is Java can be run on any hardware which has the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and that the JVM is now licensed to hundreds of operating systems vendors systems including Microsoft for Windows. What makes it possible for Java to implement the principle of write once run everywhere? Well, it translates your code into Machine code which the Operating System could understand. Therefore JVM is platform dependent since every OS has a different Machine code. So, basically you write a Java Program only once and can be used/run everywhere. IT IS INTERESTING: Is ESLint necessary for TypeScript? Is Python a WORA? Syntax. Python is a dynamically-typed language. Hence, you don’t need to determine variable types as the checks are done at runtime by the interpreter. This forms a design to be “English-like” therefore code becomes much more readable and simpler. What JVM means? Java Virtual Machine, or JVM, loads, verifies and executes Java bytecode. It is known as the interpreter or the core of Java programming language because it executes Java programming. Why bytecode is called bytecode? The name bytecode stems from instruction sets that have one-byte opcodes followed by optional parameters. Why is the JVM so popular? The JVM is immune to that. In addition to that thanks to its design it’s easy to plug various tools on it like profilers and debuggers. It is a very solid and secure (when used correctly) technology. That is why it is so widely used by both tech-savvy (Java is huge at Google, from GMail to their Android to GWT etc.) Why Java is so popular justify? What are the 2 types of Java program? There are two types of Java programs — Java Stand-Alone Applications and Java Applets. Java applets are Java applications that run within a web browser. They are mainly used for internet programming. What is WORA principle in Java? Write once, run anywhere (WORA), or sometimes Write once, run everywhere (WORE), was a 1995slogan created by Sun Microsystems to illustrate the cross-platform benefits of the Java language. … The installation of a JVM or Java interpreter on chips, devices, or software packages became an industry standard practice.

It is also the next long-term support version (LTS) after Java 11. Categories JS
Shooting star state! Moment a fiery meteor streaks across the sky above a Texas highway • A driver’s dashcam caught the meteor that passed over Texas on Sunday night • The American Meteor Society said it received more than 300 reports • It was seen in neighboring states including Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas • Southern Norway had a meteor sighting early on Sunday morning A driver’s dashcam caught the stunning moment a meteor passed over northern Texas on Sunday night. The motorist was driving along I-820 over the Lake Worth bridge in west Fort Worth when they noticed a ‘bright streak in the sky’. Sharing the footage online, they said: ‘At first, I thought it was just an aircraft, until I noticed it leaving a light streak and a much brighter light towards the end.’ The ‘streak of light’ in question was spotted across Texas, as well as Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas, with 303 reports to the American Meteor Society. NASA told NBC: ‘The fireball was at least as bright as a quarter Moon, which translates to something bigger than six inches in diameter with a weight of 10 pounds.’ A driver in west Forth Worth caught the meteor on their dashboard camera as they were driving on I-820 over the Lake Worth Bridge The American Meteor Society were sent 303 reports of a ‘fireball’ in the sky The meteor was first seen 48 miles above Texas Highway 11 near the Sulphur Springs and Winnsboro area, according to NASA It was confirmed to be a ‘slow-moving’ meteor by scientists. NASA said that it was moving at 30,000 miles per hour and at 59 miles through the upper atmosphere. The meteor was first seen about 48 miles above Texas Highway 11 near the Sulphur Springs and Winnsboro area, according to NASA. Another meteor was seen in southern Norway on Sunday morning. Another meteor was seen flying over southern Norway early on Sunday morning It flew over Oslo at around 1am and was seen as far north as Trondheim. Experts believe that a piece of the meteor may have hit near the capital. No injuries or damages were reported. Explained: The difference between an asteroid, meteorite and other space rocks An asteroid is a large chunk of rock left over from collisions or the early solar system. Most are located between Mars and Jupiter in the Main Belt. A comet is a rock covered in ice, methane and other compounds. Their orbits take them much further out of the solar system. A meteor is what astronomers call a flash of light in the atmosphere when debris burns up. This debris itself is known as a meteoroid. Most are so small they are vapourised in the atmosphere. If any of this meteoroid makes it to Earth, it is called a meteorite. Meteors, meteoroids and meteorites normally originate from asteroids and comets. For example, if Earth passes through the tail of a comet, much of the debris burns up in the atmosphere, forming a meteor shower. Source: Read Full Article

1. What is a first class function in Javascript? When functions can be treated like any other variable then those functions are first-class functions. There are many other programming languages, for example, scala, Haskell, etc which follow this including JS. Now because of this function can be passed as a param to another function(callback) or a function can return another function(higher-order function). map() and filter() are higher-order functions that are popularly used. 2. What is Node.js and how it works? Node.js is a virtual machine that uses JavaScript as its scripting language and runs Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Basically, Node.js is based on an event-driven architecture where I/O runs asynchronously making it lightweight and efficient. It is being used in developing desktop applications as well with a popular framework called electron as it provides API to access OS-level features such as file system, network, etc. 3. How do you manage packages in your node.js project? It can be managed by a number of package installers and their configuration file accordingly. Out of them mostly use npm or yarn. Both provide almost all libraries of javascript with extended features of controlling environment-specific configurations. To maintain versions of libs being installed in a project we use package.json and package-lock.json so that there is no issue in porting that app to a different environment. 1. How is Node.js better than other frameworks most popularly used? Node.js provides simplicity in development because of its non-blocking I/O and even-based model results in short response time and concurrent processing, unlike other frameworks where developers have to use thread management. It runs on a chrome v8 engine which is written in c++ and is highly performant with constant improvement. Also since we will use Javascript in both the frontend and backend the development will be much faster. And at last, there are ample libraries so that we don’t need to reinvent the wheel. 1. Explain the steps how “Control Flow” controls the functions calls? Control the order of execution Collect data Limit concurrency Call the following step in the program. 2. What are some commonly used timing features of Node.js? setTimeout/clearTimeout – This is used to implement delays in code execution. setInterval/clearInterval – This is used to run a code block multiple times. setImmediate/clearImmediate – This is used to set the execution of the code at the end of the event loop cycle. process.nextTick – This is used to set the execution of code at the beginning of the next event loop cycle. 3. What are the advantages of using promises instead of callbacks? The main advantage of using promise is you get an object to decide the action that needs to be taken after the async task completes. This gives more manageable code and avoids callback hell. 4. What is fork in node JS? A fork in general is used to spawn child processes. In node it is used to create a new instance of v8 engine to run multiple workers to execute the code. 5. Why is Node.js single-threaded? Node.js was created explicitly as an experiment in async processing. This was to try a new theory of doing async processing on a single thread over the existing thread-based implementation of scaling via different frameworks. 6. How do you create a simple server in Node.js that returns Hello World? var http = require(“http”); http.createServer(function (request, response) { response.end(‘Hello World\n’); 7. How many types of API functions are there in Node.js? There are two types of API functions: Asynchronous, non-blocking functions – mostly I/O operations which can be fork out of the main loop. Synchronous, blocking functions – mostly operations that influence the process running in the main loop. 1. What is REPL? PL in Node.js stands for Read, Eval, Print, and Loop, which further means evaluating code on the go. 2. List down the two arguments that async.queue takes as input? Task Function Concurrency Value 3. What is the purpose of module.exports? This is used to expose functions of a particular module or file to be used elsewhere in the project. This can be used to encapsulate all similar functions in a file which further improves the project structure. For example, you have a file for all utils functions with util to get solutions in a different programming language of a problem statement. const getSolutionInJavaScript = async ({ }) => { const getSolutionInPython = async ({ }) => { module.exports = { getSolutionInJavaScript, getSolutionInPython } Thus using module.exports we can use these functions in some other file: const { getSolutionInJavaScript, getSolutionInPython} = require(“./utils”) 1. What tools can be used to assure consistent code style? ESLint can be used with any IDE to ensure a consistent coding style which further helps in maintaining the codebase. Intermediate Node.js Interview Questions 1. What do you understand by callback hell? For the above example, we are passing callback functions and it makes the code unreadable and not maintainable, thus we should change the async logic to avoid this. 2. What is an event-loop in Node JS? Whatever that is async is managed by event-loop using a queue and listener. We can get the idea using the following diagram: Node.js Event Loop So when an async function needs to be executed(or I/O) the main thread sends it to a different thread allowing v8 to keep executing the main code. Event loop involves different phases with specific tasks such as timers, pending callbacks, idle or prepare, poll, check, close callbacks with different FIFO queues. Also in between iterations it checks for async I/O or timers and shuts down cleanly if there aren’t any. 1. If Node.js is single threaded then how does it handle concurrency? The main loop is single-threaded and all async calls are managed by libuv library. For example: const crypto = require(“crypto”); const start = Date.now(); function logHashTime() { crypto.pbkdf2(“a”, “b”, 100000, 512, “sha512”, () => { console.log(“Hash: “, Date.now() – start); This gives the output: Hash: 1213 Hash: 1225 Hash: 1212 Hash: 1222 This is because libuv sets up a thread pool to handle such concurrency. How many threads will be there in the thread pool depends upon the number of cores but you can override this. 1. Differentiate between process.nextTick() and setImmediate()? Both can be used to switch to an asynchronous mode of operation by listener functions. process.nextTick() sets the callback to execute but setImmediate pushes the callback in the queue to be executed. So the event loop runs in the following manner timers–>pending callbacks–>idle,prepare–>connections(poll,data,etc)–>check–>close callbacks In this process.nextTick() method adds the callback function to the start of the next event queue and setImmediate() method to place the function in the check phase of the next event queue. 1. How does Node.js overcome the problem of blocking of I/O operations? Since the node has an event loop that can be used to handle all the I/O operations in an asynchronous manner without blocking the main function. So for example, if some network call needs to happen it will be scheduled in the event loop instead of the main thread(single thread). And if there are multiple such I/O calls each one will be queued accordingly to be executed separately(other than the main thread). Thus even though we have single-threaded JS, I/O ops are handled in a nonblocking way. 1. How can we use async await in node.js? Here is an example of using async-await pattern: // this code is to retry with exponential backoff function wait (timeout) { return new Promise((resolve) => { setTimeout(() => { }, timeout); async function requestWithRetry (url) { const MAX_RETRIES = 10; for (let i = 0; i <= MAX_RETRIES; i++) { try { return await request(url); } catch (err) { const timeout = Math.pow(2, i); console.log(‘Waiting’, timeout, ‘ms’); await wait(timeout); console.log(‘Retrying’, err.message, i); 1. What is node.js streams? Streams are instances of EventEmitter which can be used to work with streaming data in Node.js. They can be used for handling and manipulating streaming large files(videos, mp3, etc) over the network. They use buffers as their temporary storage. There are mainly four types of the stream: Writable: streams to which data can be written (for example, fs.createWriteStream()). Readable: streams from which data can be read (for example, fs.createReadStream()). Duplex: streams that are both Readable and Writable (for example, net.Socket). Transform: Duplex streams that can modify or transform the data as it is written and read (for example, zlib.createDeflate()). 1. What are node.js buffers? In general, buffers is a temporary memory that is mainly used by stream to hold on to some data until consumed. Buffers are introduced with additional use cases than JavaScript’s Unit8Array and are mainly used to represent a fixed-length sequence of bytes. This also supports legacy encodings like ASCII, utf-8, etc. It is a fixed(non-resizable) allocated memory outside the v8. 2. What is middleware? Middleware comes in between your request and business logic. It is mainly used to capture logs and enable rate limit, routing, authentication, basically whatever that is not a part of business logic. There are third-party middleware also such as body-parser and you can write your own middleware for a specific use case. 3. Explain what a Reactor Pattern in Node.js? Reactor pattern again a pattern for nonblocking I/O operations. But in general, this is used in any event-driven architecture. There are two components in this: 1. Reactor 2. Handler. Reactor: Its job is to dispatch the I/O event to appropriate handlers Handler: Its job is to actually work on those events 1. Why should you separate Express app and server? The server is responsible for initializing the routes, middleware, and other application logic whereas the app has all the business logic which will be served by the routes initiated by the server. This ensures that the business logic is encapsulated and decoupled from the application logic which makes the project more readable and maintainable. 2. For Node.js, why Google uses V8 engine? Well, are there any other options available? Yes, of course, we have Spidermonkey from Firefox, Chakra from Edge but Google’s v8 is the most evolved(since it’s open-source so there’s a huge community helping in developing features and fixing bugs) and fastest(since it’s written in c++) we got till now as a JavaScript and WebAssembly engine. And it is portable to almost every machine known. 3. Describe the exit codes of Node.js? Exit codes give us an idea of how a process got terminated/the reason behind termination. A few of them are: Uncaught fatal exception – (code – 1) – There has been an exception that is not handled Unused – (code – 2) – This is reserved by bash Fatal Error – (code – 5) – There has been an error in V8 with stderr output of the description Internal Exception handler Run-time failure – (code – 7) – There has been an exception when bootstrapping function was called Internal JavaScript Evaluation Failure – (code – 4) – There has been an exception when the bootstrapping process failed to return function value when evaluated. 1. Explain the concept of stub in Node.js? Stubs are used in writing tests which are an important part of development. It replaces the whole function which is getting tested. This helps in scenarios where we need to test: External calls which make tests slow and difficult to write (e.g HTTP calls/ DB calls) Triggering different outcomes for a piece of code (e.g. what happens if an error is thrown/ if it passes) For example, this is the function: const request = require(‘request’); const getPhotosByAlbumId = (id) => { const requestUrl = https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums/${id}/photos?_limit=3; return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { request.get(requestUrl, (err, res, body) => { if (err) { return reject(err); module.exports = getPhotosByAlbumId; To test this function this is the stub const expect = require(‘chai’).expect; const request = require(‘request’); const sinon = require(‘sinon’); const getPhotosByAlbumId = require(‘./index’); describe(‘with Stub: getPhotosByAlbumId’, () => { before(() => { sinon.stub(request, ‘get’) .yields(null, null, JSON.stringify([ “albumId”: 1, “id”: 1, “title”: “A real photo 1”, “url”: “https://via.placeholder.com/600/92c952”, “thumbnailUrl”: “https://via.placeholder.com/150/92c952” “albumId”: 1, “id”: 2, “title”: “A real photo 2”, “url”: “https://via.placeholder.com/600/771796”, “thumbnailUrl”: “https://via.placeholder.com/150/771796” “albumId”: 1, “id”: 3, “title”: “A real photo 3”, “url”: “https://via.placeholder.com/600/24f355”, “thumbnailUrl”: “https://via.placeholder.com/150/24f355” after(() => { it(‘should getPhotosByAlbumId’, (done) => { getPhotosByAlbumId(1).then((photos) => { photos.forEach(photo => { Advanced Node.js Interview Questions 1. What is an Event Emitter in Node.js? EventEmitter is a Node.js class that includes all the objects that are basically capable of emitting events. This can be done by attaching named events that are emitted by the object using an eventEmitter.on() function. Thus whenever this object throws an even the attached functions are invoked synchronously. const EventEmitter = require(‘events’); class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {} const myEmitter = new MyEmitter(); myEmitter.on(‘event’, () => { console.log(‘an event occurred!’); 1. Enhancing Node.js performance through clustering. Node.js applications run on a single processor, which means that by default they don’t take advantage of a multiple-core system. Cluster mode is used to start up multiple node.js processes thereby having multiple instances of the event loop. When we start using cluster in a nodejs app behind the scene multiple node.js processes are created but there is also a parent process called the cluster manager which is responsible for monitoring the health of the individual instances of our application. Clustering in Node.js 1. What is a thread pool and which library handles it in Node.js The Thread pool is handled by the libuv library. libuv is a multi-platform C library that provides support for asynchronous I/O-based operations such as file systems, networking, and concurrency. Thread Pool 1. What is WASI and why is it being introduced? Web assembly provides an implementation of WebAssembly System Interface specification through WASI API in node.js implemented using WASI class. The introduction of WASI was done by keeping in mind its possible to use the underlying operating system via a collection of POSIX-like functions thus further enabling the application to use resources more efficiently and features that require system-level access. 2. How are worker threads different from clusters? There is one process on each CPU with an IPC to communicate. In case we want to have multiple servers accepting HTTP requests via a single port, clusters can be helpful. The processes are spawned in each CPU thus will have separate memory and node instance which further will lead to memory issues. Worker threads: There is only one process in total with multiple threads. Each thread has one Node instance (one event loop, one JS engine) with most of the APIs accessible. Shares memory with other threads (e.g. SharedArrayBuffer) This can be used for CPU-intensive tasks like processing data or accessing the file system since NodeJS is single-threaded, synchronous tasks can be made more efficient leveraging the worker’s threads. 1. How to measure the duration of async operations? Performance API provides us with tools to figure out the necessary performance metrics. A simple example would be using async_hooks and perf_hooks ‘use strict’; const async_hooks = require(‘async_hooks’); const { } = require(‘perf_hooks’); const set = new Set(); const hook = async_hooks.createHook({ init(id, type) { if (type === ‘Timeout’) { destroy(id) { if (set.has(id)) { const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => { obs.observe({ entryTypes: [‘measure’], buffered: true }); setTimeout(() => {}, 1000); This would give us the exact time it took to execute the callback. 1. How to measure the performance of async operations? A simple example would be: const { PerformanceObserver, performance } = require(‘perf_hooks’); const obs = new PerformanceObserver((items) => { obs.observe({ entryTypes: [‘measure’] }); performance.measure(‘Start to Now’); doSomeLongRunningProcess(() => { performance.measure(‘A to Now’, ‘A’); performance.measure(‘A to B’, ‘A’, ‘B’); Leave a Reply
A Comprehensive History of Notable African-American Olympians A Comprehensive History of Notable African-American Olympians Matilda McLaren, In-Depth Writer Since the premiere of the Olympics in 1896 Athens, Greece, the event has showcased international cooperation and awe-inspiring athletic ability. Several Olympians are acclaimed for more than just their excellence at sports- but also their unique ability to make history in times of turbulence, adversity, and discrimination. Here are eleven black athletes who managed to pioneer movements beyond their realms. (Muhammad Ali; Great Olympic Moments/Source: Gale in Context) Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali was a heavyweight champion and professional boxer. He participated in the 1960 Olympic Games and won gold in the heavyweight boxing event. At the same time, Ali led a fulfilled life as an activist alongside his boxing successes. During his boxing career, Ali discovered the Nation of Islam, a spiritual and political support group for underprivileged minorities, including African Americans. Within this coalition, Ali fostered a sense of cultural community as an athlete. According to an article by Gale in Context entitled “Great Olympic Moments”, Ali made a political statement when “refused to be drafted to fight in the Vietnam War.” In this way, Ali was a “conscientious objector”, or an individual who objects to serve in a war because of ethical obligations. During the schismed period of the Vietnam War, this position from an influential media figure greatly fueled the anti-Vietnam movement. (Jesse Owens; Ten Black Olympian Historymakers/ Source: BlackEnterprise) Jesse Owens Jesse Owens’ performance at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany transcended running and imploded the world of politics at the time. Owens earned gold medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter running events, as well as the long jump and the 400-meter relay. Owens’s victories in Berlin (the international hub of racism and fascism at the time), as a black participant challenged Adolf Hitler’s prejudice against races other than his ideal Aryan nation. (Wilma Rudolph; Ten Black Olympian Historymakers/Source: BlackEnterprise) Wilma Rudolph Wilma Rudolph is universally regarded for her victory at the 1960 Olympics in Rome when she became the very first American woman to earn three gold medals within the Olympiad. Rudolph earned gold in the 100-meter dash, the 200-dash, and the 400-meter relay. Her achievements can be depicted as even more inspiring in light of her physical hindrances as a child. At just three years old, Rudolph was overtaken by double pneumonia and scarlet fever, and according to an article by Gale in Context entitled “Wilma Unlimited”, was “immobile without leg braces up until the age of eleven”. (Milton Campbell; Great Olympic Moments/Source: Gale in Context) Milton Campbell Milton Campbell accomplished international stardom at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. Campbell was notorious for his success in the decathlon, a composite event that comprises ten rigorous athletic tests. Often considered one of the most difficult contests available at the Olympics, Campbell became the first Black athlete to win the event. Campbell is associated with the title of “the world’s greatest athlete” due to this particular feat. (Josiah Thugwane; Great Olympic Moments/Source: Gale in Context) Josiah Thugwane Josiah Thugwane allegedly won the 1996 Olympic marathon after recovering from calamitous gunshot wounds when he was “carjacked near his South African home”. Thugane’s win cemented him as an elite athlete and symbol of overcoming hardship. In 1996, Thugwane became the first Black South African athlete to win an Olympic gold medal. (Image: Wikimedia) John Taylor Four years after George Coleman Poage’s encounter with racial segregation at the St. Louis Olympic games in 1904, John Taylor trailblazed a distinctive title for himself alongside a team of black Olympians. Taylor became the first African American athlete to achieve a gold medal among the U.S. men’s medley relay team at the 1908 Summer Olympics. (Allyson Felix; Source: Gale in Context) Allyson Felix Sprinter Allyson Felix is the most decorated female gymnast of all time. The athlete, mother, and advocate for women’s rights has competed in five Olympics and won ten composite medals for track and field, surpassing any other American athlete in history. Felix has created a name for herself outside of running, however. It began in 2018 when Felix officially became a mother and started to speak out on topics like racial discrimination, women’s health care, and particularly maternal rights and the societal limitations placed on successful women and mothers. According to an article published by The New York Times in June entitled “Allyson Felix Knows What Really Makes the Olympics Run”, the athlete used her newfound privilege as a mother to correct corruption in her own industry. In 2019, she wrote a column for The New York Times “criticizing the maternity policies of Nike, her sponsor at the time, which the company subsequently improved.” The most notable and remembered Olympians not only break records, but manage to transcend the athletic field by utilizing their global (and often international) prominence to make the world a better place. Outstanding African-American athletes rally for implementations that beneficially impact their cultural community, or protest against those that are discriminatory.
What Healthy Breakfast Should I Eat To Start My Day? Popular American breakfast foods like pancakes, donuts, and bacon, are full of saturated fat and sugar and contain little fiber or protein. A healthy breakfast includes nutritious foods that give energy and make a person feel full, which help them prevent overeating later in the day. Not eating the right foods in the mornings can leave you feeling tired, cranky, and overall unsatisfied. A proper diet can fill your body with the energy it needs to get through long days. • Eat More Vitamins And Minerals • Control Their Blood Sugar Levels • Control Their Weight • Perform Better At Work Having eggs at breakfast increases feelings of fullness decreases calorie consumption, and helps maintain steady insulin and blood sugar levels. People who eat eggs in the morning take in fewer calories and feel more satisfied during the whole day than those who consume other foods like a bagel. Plus, egg yolks contain antioxidants- lutein and zeaxanthin. These help prevent eye disorders like cataracts and macular degeneration. Though high in cholesterol, eggs don’t increase cholesterol levels in people. Eating eggs may reduce heart disease risk by changing the shape of LDL cholesterol, increasing HDL cholesterol, and improving insulin sensitivity. Foods high in carbohydrates are the easiest to convert into energy because your body processes food to release the energy it contains. But simple carbohydrates, such as sugar, get used very quickly, which means that they’ll give you only a short boost that’ll run out quickly. For long-lasting energy, include complex carbohydrates like oats and grains in your breakfast. Oats are a whole-grain food and a good source of carbohydrates and fiber and some protein and fat. Oats also contain vitamins and minerals, including: • Phosphorus • Manganese • Magnesium • Iron • Copper • Vitamin B1 • Zinc • Folate Oats will make you feel fuller longer because of their fiber content. In other words, oatmeal will provide long-lasting fullness to get you through your day. All berries like blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, are an excellent way to start the morning. They are fiber-rich and low in calories, contain disease-fighting antioxidants. Add berries on oatmeal, cereal, or yogurt, or you can also blend them into smoothies. You can also buy frozen berries if fresh berries are expensive or not in season, and they are equally fresh and nutritious. However, it is also best to have frozen berries without any added sugar for optimal health benefits. Avocado toast became the latest breakfast craze. Avocados are fruit containing a variety of nutrients, such as healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. • Vitamin K • Vitamin C • B Vitamins • Vitamin E • Folate • Potassium Coconuts give mostly fat, but they also have several essential minerals and Vitamin B. The high fiber in coconut meat can also help slow digestion and regulate blood sugar levels. Shaved or flaked coconut adds a pleasant flavor to sweet breakfast dishes. Try it on top of oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese along with other fruits, like berries or mangoes. Green Tea Green tea is one of the best and healthiest drinks to add to the morning meal. It contains caffeine that improves mood and alertness, along with raising metabolic rate. Green tea gives only 35 to 70 mg of caffeine a cup, about half the amount in coffee. It also contains an antioxidant, EGCG, which may protect your nervous system, brain, and heart from damage. Greek Yogurt It is an excellent protein source to eat in the morning. It is creamy, thick, and contains more protein than regular yogurt. In addition, it contains calcium and probiotics that help support a healthy immune system and gut. People can include this high-protein, low-fat food with other foods on this list, such as berries. Chia seeds They are a high source of fiber. The fiber in it is viscous, which means it absorbs water. Therefore, as the food moves through the digestive tract, it will expand in volume. Adding just a spoonful of chia seeds to your breakfast meal can mean feeling satiated for much longer. Final Words If you eat in the morning, ensure to start your day off right by feeding your body with the healthy and nutrient-dense foods in this article. Adding any of these foods to your breakfast gives you the extra boost you need to make it through the day. Many of these foods contain a healthy measure of fiber to slow down digestion and keep you satisfied. In addition, the vitamins and antioxidants mixed with protein and healthy fats make you feel energized as you go about your day.
Honoring K9 Veterans on March 13 By Caryl Clem: Dogs have their own day for military service recognition. A national day to give them credit took over 100 years. I had no idea that dogs served as equal partners in combating the enemy dating as far back as 600 B.C. In the United States, dogs were first used in the Revolutionary War but never gained recognition until after World War I. A retired military dog trainer, Joseph White originated the idea to honor veteran canines on the birthday of the first Army K9 Corps which was March 13th. An estimated 2,500 dogs are in service today while 700 maybe overseas. I grew up watching television famous, Rin Tin Tin dog adventures. I had no idea that the brave, compassionate dog I adored had been rescued from a battlefield during World War I. One of the strategies noticed by troops overseas during WWI was the Europe’s employment of dogs during warfare. As a young man fighting for his life in Germany, Lee saves a pup from a bombed demolished dog kennel. Lee Duncan, when young had been orphaned then taken away by his mother to have a dog as his sole companion. The fascinating story of Lee and his dog going to Hollywood after the war is in the book, RIN IN TIN, The Life and The Legend by Sue Orlean. During World War I, several dogs are credited with saving troops lives. One story is about a stray Pit bull who prevent a siren gas attack and survived injuries from other combat arenas. Three Presidents met this dog at the White House. Sergeant Stubby’s remains are in the Smithsonian. In Italy, Chips attacked a group of soldiers in a machine gun nest forcing them out to be captured. Chips was given medals but they were rescinded because the Army has a law that animals cannot receive awards. Sources to supply United States trained military dogs are from breeders in Germany and the Netherlands. To become a certified pup trainer is a credible career with specialized training. Various duties the dogs perform fighting alongside our soldiers include locating bombs, searching for drugs, tracking people and imitating an attack. US Navy Seals use Belgian Malinois dogs who join their handlers to parachute from helicopters and rappel on steep inclines. A life career for a military dog averages from 6-7 years before they are forced to retire. There was no program in place to find homes for these gentle giants so many were released or euphonized before 2000. President Clinton passed a law that protected these dogs, now over 90% are usually adopted by their handlers.

You asked: What is the difference between summer monsoon and winter monsoon? What are monsoons like in the winter? Usually, winter monsoons usher in dry, cool conditions, replacing the rain and heat of their summer counterparts. Monsoons affect south, southeast and east Asia, northern Australia, west-central Africa and some warmer regions of North and South America. What is difference between monsoon and season? As nouns the difference between season and monsoon is that season is each of the four divisions of a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter; yeartide while monsoon is any of a number of winds associated with regions where most rain falls during a particular season. What is a summer monsoon? The summer monsoon is associated with heavy rainfall. It usually happens between April and September. As winter ends, warm, moist air from the southwest Indian Ocean blows toward countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The summer monsoon brings a humid climate and torrential rainfall to these areas. What is the change of seasons like summer monsoon winter? Explanation: The country’s meteorological department follows the international standard of four seasons with some local adjustments: winter (January and February), summer (March, April and May), monsoon (rainy) season (June to September), and a post-monsoon period (October to December). What is the difference between summer monsoon season and retreating monsoon season? – Geography \| IT IS SURPRISING: Best answer: When did the last hurricane hit Pensacola FL?

Why does JavaScript use 'continue' instead of the much more logical 'next' for skipping to the next loop iteration? What is GEEK Buddha Community Zachary Palmer What if it’s the last iteration? The word “continue” fits either way. “Continue to the next iteration or continue to the rest of the script.” The word “next,” on the other hand, only fits when there are more iterations to be executed. If there are no iterations, would “next” throw an exception because the script can’t continue into the next iteration? I would support “next” only under those conditions: 1. It throws an exception when there are no further iterations. 2. I can still use “continue” when I don’t want that behavior. And, for the record, I really don’t see much use for “next.” I’m really just saying to leave “continue” alone while still respecting your right to want to over-complicate things.

When the going gets tough… Things are tough. No two ways about it. Personally, people are taking strain. There is fear and uncertainty. Our amygdala’s have commandeered our brains and our behaviour. Uncertainty abounds and people are somewhat panicked. There is a phenomenon known as the amygdala hijack, coined by Daniel Goleman in 1996 (Emotional Intelligence: Why it can matter more than IQ). To understand this, you need to know that the amygdala in our brain (in the temporal lobe) is responsible for giving meaning to emotions, and attaching associations and responses to those emotions. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and phobias are suspected of being linked to abnormal functioning of the amygdala. We all know that in the face of a threat, humans tend to flee, fight or freeze. This response is due to the amygdala which activates the fight-or-flight response by sending out signals to release stress hormones that prepare your body to fight or run away. This response is triggered by emotions like fear, anxiety, aggression, and anger. The thing that stops us from attacking or running, in most instances, is the cerebral cortex (frontal lobe). This part of our brain is our more ‘adult’ brain, and enables us to think, reason and make decisions. The cerebral cortex allows us to process and think about our emotions. We can then manage our emotions and decide on a logical response. Unlike the automatic response of the amygdala, the response to fear from your cerebral cortex is consciously controlled by you. Enter Corona Virus… Fight. Flight. Freeze. Panic. Mayhem. Depression. Dissension. Our Amygdala’s have got us putting on our tinfoil hats, donning our face masks, deodorising with sanitiser, and seeing danger everywhere. What’s up with this? Humans have an intrinsic need to know why. That’s what. Think about it… you hear a loud clanging at night, your senses are heightened… your heart races… and your assumption is that there is a threat lurking. Some of you want to jump out of bed and go get it, others bury under the covers and hope it goes away. But then your trusty rational brain kicks in, and you remember the precariously balanced baking tin on the dry rack, and that the window was open… and your brain comes to the realisation that it was just the wind that knocked it over into the sink. Body systems return to normal… deep sigh of relief. Crisis over. But Coronavirus is the unknown. It is a new threat that we don’t know enough about yet, although that knowledge is growing daily, but our rational brain is battling to figure this one out, and to find an intentional causality, and as such we seem to be relying on our amygdala to direct us. Emotions are high. People are sensitive. And desperate for answers. Enter… Corona Theories. Why are they so prolific at the moment? What is making people so vulnerable to even the craziest of them? Our brains have a built-in need to search for patterns, solutions and answers, but sometimes those brains we rely so heavily on, will find patterns where there are actually none. Add to that the fear we feel when we’re not in control of a situation and other psychological principles like confirmation bias, and we have the perfect recipe for our brains to investigate bizarre explanations. Quite honestly, I don’t really care what explanation you ascribe to. This is not what this is about. Whether you believe it’s a god-sent virus to counter overpopulation, or you think it’s the doings of some eccentric individual or syndicate, or a mysteriously high power radio frequency developed by sinister Dr Evil sitting above the clouds, or even if you believe it is some alien virus brought to us by Barney the dinosaur, flying Santa’s unicorn-driven sleigh over the earth, sprinkling these nasty, spiky balls of contagion… I honestly don’t want to know and do NOT want to spark a debate about who is right. That is for our own brains to figure out. What I do care about is our mental health. What I care about is that we understand how our brains are functioning at the moment, and why we are scouring the media, following the loudest tweeters, and listening to any and all theorists. It is because our brains are desperate for an explanation. So that we can then understand it. So that we can then find solutions. So that we can finally feel in control again. So that we can get rid of this feeling of being under threat permanently. It’s the same part of our brain that initially panicked that the loud clanging sound in the night was a hooded psychopath, coming to rid you of both your kidneys and your right big toe to sell on the black market for some off the wall cure for impotence. We need to acknowledge our amygdala. But also recognise what it is doing to our cortisol levels, our stress, and our brains. I also care that we understand that this virus will leave us eventually, or at least become less threateing. And what we will be left with are the people. Our people. And those relationships need to be protected now, because those are what are going to keep us sane, support us, and sustain us through these times. So regardless of your views… take a deep breath. Recognise how your brain is functioning at the moment, and try give it space for your frontal cortex to step in and try calmly figure things out for you. Stay human and protect your relationships. Those matter more than anything else. They did pre-Corona, they do now, and they will post-Corona. And for Pete’s sake do not let your overactive amygdalas hijack more than you want. Stress exacerbates anger, aggression, fear and the fight-or-flight response, which can result in us reacting illogically, and irrationally to situations. Actions we will probably regret later on. Love thy neighbour people, even if it is from a 2m distance, and even if they have opposing views to you. This is your brain’s coping mechanism, but don’t let that impulsive amygdala muck everything up for you. Stay safe…stay sane Leave a Reply

How to Get Your Son or Daughter To See His or Her Child as a Child, Too! We’ve all been there. You’ve watched your child cry for hours while you wonder what they’re going to do for dinner. You know your kid is having trouble sleeping. You’re just hoping he’ll wake up. You just want him to come home. You never ask yourself, “Will he be okay?” When you ask, “What if he’s not?” you wonder, “Why?” When the parents of children with autism ask the same question, you realize it’s a question that shouldn’t be asked. The answer is simple: They just don’t know. The research on autism and family support is clear: Many families struggle with the issue. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says more than 50% of families with children with ASD are struggling to support their children. And for many of these families, the answer is often not clear. There are many reasons families struggle to support children with ASDs. First, autism is a complex disorder that involves many different brain and behavior patterns. Parents with autism are at greater risk for developing a variety of brain and behavioral issues, and some may have more severe symptoms than others. In addition, it’s common for parents to have multiple developmental delays. This means that their children have different experiences at different ages, including sensory-motor delay and language delays. As a result, it can be challenging to know what to do if your child has behavioral or cognitive problems, including autism. For example, if your son is autistic and has problems with socializing, you may be reluctant to share with other parents because of the anxiety they might experience. Second, families may struggle to understand and communicate with their child with autism. Sometimes, when a parent speaks about a behavior problem with a sibling or friend, the child may react in a way that can be confusing or offensive. In such cases, the parent may have to explain the behavior to the child and explain why it’s inappropriate. Asking your child for help may not be an option. If the family does not know what their child needs, they may think that the child needs help, too. This can be a scary and confusing time for the child. Sometimes families may also be reluctant or even afraid to share information about their child’s autism, which makes it hard for the family to work together on the child’s behalf. Third, it may take a long time for families to realize that their child has autism. Some parents may think it’s easier to just get on with their lives, and they may not want to discuss it at all. Some families may feel that their son or daughter has been treated unfairly because they’re not autistic, and that they don’t deserve support. And sometimes, even the parents themselves may not know. Some of these issues may lead to anger and frustration. These feelings are difficult for the parent to overcome, and it can cause the child to be more isolated, more withdrawn, and more likely to seek treatment. Finally, when parents are unsure about their decision-making skills, they can be frustrated. Some children with the disorder may struggle with communication skills, and these children may feel they can’t understand what they are asking their parents to do. When this happens, it could create problems when it comes to supporting the family. There is a lot more work that parents can do to support and support their child, and parents need to be proactive about getting their child into therapy as soon as possible. Parents need to understand that a parent with autism is not someone who needs to be treated unfairly, and the autism spectrum disorder is a normal and normal part of human development. As parents with autism and families work to understand each other and work together, we can learn to help our children who may be struggling with ASD.

Schmidt Mária Geostrategic Games On his information gathering tour in Europe in 1967, one year before being elected president of the United States, Richard Nixon went to see ailing Konrad Adenauer. Just one month before dying, the former Chancellor spoke bluntly to him: “’Make no mistake about it,´ he said, ´they want the world. The whole world. Most of all they want Europe, and to get Europe they know they must destroy Germany. We need you to keep us strong and free. But you also need us.´ Adenauer urged – as he had de Gaulle four years before – that we tilt our policy toward Communist China to counterbalance the growing Soviet threat.”1 Before the end of the same year, Nixon published an article in Foreign Affairs arguing that the United States could not afford keeping China outside the “family of nations” forever. Four years later. on 15 July 1971, President Richard Nixon of the United States of America announced that he would pay a visit to China the following spring. The replacement of Sino-Soviet alliance by Sino-American alliance was the number-one prerequisite of American victory in the Cold War. While in the United States the 70s were a decade of disorientation, loss of confidence and shaken trust in the political elite and in China the Gang of Four went on rampage in an atmosphere of Civil-War-like terror, the might and the influence of the Soviet Union seemed unbroken. In the 80s however, both the United States and China found their legs again. The Reagan and Bush presidencies came out victorious from the Cold War that had started in 1917, giving back to Americans their traditional confidence and belief in their mission, while China entered an era of consolidation and outright economic miracle under Deng Xiao-ping. During the years when the Soviet Union disappeared from the scene and China was gathering strength, the leading role of the USA in world politics was not questioned by anyone. Logic and emotions weigh precious little in the face of the realities of power. De Gaulle At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the USA had to face several challenges in its role as the world’s leading power. The economic crisis following the financial crash of 2008 coincided with the emergence of new power centres. As it usually happens, all hotbeds of conflict started releasing pus and were in need of urgent therapy. It is up to the new American President Barack Obama who is still in office to shape new short and long-term strategies for the United States about how to face this set of issues each of which is of great gravity. His main task is to revitalise the American economy while preventing the global leading role of the United States from being questioned. Let’s see what steps the president has taken in order to achieve that goal. Let’s take as a starting point what Adenauer told Nixon and have a look at the USA’s policy towards Europe. It is important to understand that as seen from Washington, Europe does not look like a continent on its own but as part of Eurasia. Eurasia on the other hand, at least according to Zbigniew Brzezinski, is the centre of world power. If America is to keep its leading role in the world, it is of primary importance for her to prevent the birth of a hostile Eurasian power centre. 2 Eurasia means Europe Russia and China put together. It is therefore worthwhile to cast a glance at the conflict between Ukraine and Russia from this point of view, while keeping China in sight as well. In the 1990s, after the Soviet Empire ceased to exist, Eastern Europe – or as we like to call it, Central Europe and the Baltic countries – as well as the Balkans became free and independent. They soon joined NATO and then, in the beginning of the new century, the European Union as well. Ukraine remained neutral – a sort of buffer country between Europe and Russia. Russia still remains a huge country but was by now also surrounded by independent countries in Central Asia. 3 The USA supported European unity without reservations as long as it was confined to Western Europe, for Europe was split in the middle by one of the most important frontlines of the Cold War and a strong and united European sphere of influence was needed in its duel against the Soviet Union. All-European unity after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union prompted US decision-makers new considerations. Where should the borders of the new united Europe to be drawn? In other terms, is Russia part of Europe? What should be done with newly united Germany? Its Western half, the German Federal Republic was already the strongest and most dynamic economy of the European Union in itself. It was hindered though in taking a political role by its World War II defeat and its responsibility for the Holocaust as well as by the fact that its eastern border was a demarcation line between Cold War opponents. In the wake of German unification that ultimately resulted in European unity as well, Germany was revalued both economically and geopolitically. Its economic strength and performance made it the engine of Europe while it found itself in the centre of the continent. All this contributed to accelerating the process during which France and Great Britain after still appearing important in the second half of the twentieth century were both economically and strategically devalued. 4 With its common market and common currency, European integration has appeared as a challenge to the United States. This is why the question whether Russia (and Ukraine) can join the community has become burning for decision-makers both in Europe and the USA. 5 What are the consequences if the answer is yes and what happens if the answer is no? Can the USA prevent rapprochement, economic and strategic cooperation between Germany and Russia? If Russia is isolated from Europe and thus will be compelled to reach out towards China whatever the cost, what will be the consequences for the European Union and for the United States? What is to be done in the case of rapprochement between Germany and China? Theoretically and in the long run is it imaginable for China, Russia and Europe to stand together and for Eurasia turning against the USA? And if it is, will the USA tolerate being crowded out from Eurasia? ”The chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world,” President Coolidge said. 6 None of the American presidents of the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries thought it to be otherwise – they all spoke for free trade and the dismantling of other countries’ protective customs duties. For free and unfettered trade always favours the stronger, and since the beginning of the past century, America has been the strongest economy in the world. It still is, despite the credit crunch and financial crisis that hit in 2008. Even if the American economy suffered a hard blow and even if its structural and economic problems after being covered up for decades by abundant money supply have now come to the surface. On the other hand, shale gas technology has opened new prospects in front of America’s economy. 7 We should keep in mind that the USA was the first oil super power of the world. The first oil rigs were erected in Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859. From that moment on, John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil was for a long time the number one oil exporter in the world. Oil was already indispensable in World War I and ensuring oil supply became a primary strategic objective during World War II. After D-Day, in the summer of 1944, when General Patton speared ahead into France, Texan pipeline building experts laid 80 kilometres of pipeline daily for his tanks. 8 Post-World War II reconstruction made Europe clearly dependent on oil – Middle Eastern oil to be precise. “Without Middle Eastern oil the European reconstruction programme runs hardly any chance of success,” Secretary of Defence James Forrestal warned President Truman in a memorandum in 1948. 9 Thus the United States immediately took control of the Middle East. Then this region became one of the conflict zones of the two opposing world powers during the Cold War. Middle Eastern oil was cheap and available in unlimited quantities right until the oil embargo of 1973. 10 By the time Middle Eastern oil producers forming OPEC got to that point, the USA had to become their largest market. In fact, from 1967 on, the four main oil producing countries, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia combined produced more oil than the United States. OPEC increased the price of crude to $5.12 in September 1973 and to $11.80 in October. From that moment on, access to Middle Eastern oil became a key issue in Western economies. The United States took care of oil supplies through its allies in the Middle East – Iran and Saudi Arabia in the first place. In 1979 however, the USA left the Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi to his fate and he was ousted from his country by the forces of radical Islam. 11 From that moment onwards, American influence in the Middle East was exerted through repeated Arab-Israeli wars as well as conflicts among other countries of the region. 12 The tools of American influence include the selective application of supplying military equipment, financial aid, technological support and trade embargoes. In a few cases however, responding to strategic and political needs, the USA opted for direct military intervention, as it did in the Gulf War in 1991 and the Iraq War in 2003. Controlling Middle Eastern oil was of vital importance for the United States for several reasons, namely meeting its own needs, supplying Western Europe and influencing Russian oil export prices. In fact, by the end of the 70s Russia had also become a major energy exporter and its 3,000,000 barrel daily output provided half of its export revenue. President Reagan of the United States exploited Russia’s dependency on oil revenues and agreed with Saudi Arabia to push down oil prices and thus managed to corner the Soviet Union financially. Soviet export revenues decreased not only in the oil market but also in arms trade, Russia’s other major source of income, since its main customers, oil exporting countries saw their own oil revenues waning and therefore were compelled to spend less on military equipment. Recent advances in shale gas technology make the United States largely independent from Middle Eastern oil. 13 The implosion of the Soviet Union left the Americans without rivals in this region as well. They have mostly played an active role in letting the so-called Arab Spring loose. Destabilising Egypt in a way that resembled the events in Iran as well as the developments in Lebanon and Libya can also be explained assuming that the US intends to make middle eastern oil supplies insecure for the main importers in the Far East and in Europe. They could of course logically opt for Russian oil which would re-evaluate Russia in Europe, while keeping energy prices so vital for the Russian economy high. This might be one of the reasons behind the escalation of the Ukraine crisis. Russia and Ukraine Don’t push anyone to the wall Chinese saying Russia is never as weak as you would like it to be nor is it ever as strong as you fear. The Soviet Union collapsed like a house of cards. It buried under its rubble its Empire which disintegrated into its components; its economy was in ruin and its citizens impoverished. Although it was secured a “soft landing” by president H.W. Bush of the United States, who was careful not to humiliate the Russians more than necessary, 14 under President Clinton the “democracy project” put forward by the Americans created and oligarchic rule which allowed a small number of their business partners to get super rich and possess Russia’s raw material resources and public wealth. They used American subsidies to buy out key industries through an exceptional feat of “democracy” – a series of presidential decrees produced by Prime Minister Anatoly Chubays, their business partner and signed by President Yeltsin. They were of course linked to the upper crust in the United States as well, for their mentors included Larry Summers, Undersecretary (1991 to 1993), then Secretary of the Treasury under the Clinton administration (1999 to 2001), one of the main promoters of financial deregulation, who would later become President Obama’s chief economic adviser and candidate for the post of chairman of the Federal Reserve. 15 Thus Russia was exceptionally plundered even as compared to the rest of the former socialist countries. (Some Westerners certainly feel free to carry things ever farther as they move further Eastwards. Be they Germans, Britons or French, Swedes, Austrians, Dutch or again Americans etc.) Yeltsin was despised therefore was liked by the West. Putin makes it feel unsafe and therefore is disliked. According to Western commentators Yeltsin was a democrat, which makes one smile. The same people do not consider Putin a democrat although there are many countries, Georgia or Azerbaijan for instance, which are not any more democratic than Russia and are still not criticised as much as Putin is. Russia’s historical traditions are different from those of the United States and its public administration can only be organised, its political institutional system can only be renewed taking into account Russian roots. It is unreasonable to expect it to copy the Western model, although this is precisely why Russa is being often blamed. 16 Russia finds itself in a difficult position. Its historical traditions make it part of Europe. 17 Europe however doesn’t dare or doesn’t want to accept Russia as part of itself. What is it afraid of? Does it consider Russia too big? Does it fear its different socialisation? Is it afraid of its past aggressive nature? 18 Do we fear it to turn aggressive again in the future? All these fears are well founded. But what will be the consequences for the European Union if it declines rapprochement with Russia? What will be the advantages and disadvantages? These are the questions on the agenda today and that European public opinion refuses to discuss. Let’s examine some of them. Russia is a huge country with significant raw material resources that are badly needed by us. Unlike Europe, it has defence capability. Demographically speaking, its situation is even more hopeless than that of Europe. 19 Europe is about to link its destiny to the United States as negotiations behind closed doors on the trade and customs union are well underway. Finalising such an agreement could be one of the reasons for swiftly trying to isolate Russia from Europe. Today’s Ukraine was established from 1989 to 1991 because the only opponent of Ukrainian national rebirth, the utterly exhausted Soviet Union was facing numerous strong opponents. In December 1991, over 90% of Ukrainian voters opted for secession and independence. The two decades that have passed since are the longest chapter of independent Ukrainian statehood for several centuries. Ukraine is the Western gate to Russia. As seen from Moscow it is as important for Russian national security as Mexico is for the USA. As far as we are concerned, it is one of our most important neighbours, perhaps the most important, whose independent statehood makes our fears of Russia subside. As seen from the West, it is important if there is an intention to isolate or weaken Russia. 20 The commercially and militarily crucial Black Sea ports of Odessa and Sebastopol are (were) controlled by Ukraine. Vital oil and gas pipelines supplying Europe pass through Ukraine, and control over energy supplies, as we have said more than once, is a vital strategic and economic issue for Russia. 21 Ethnic Russians add up to 17.3% of Ukraine’s population and most of them live in a compact community in Eastern Ukraine. 22 Since the beginning of the new millennium, more precisely since the day when the victory of pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovich was declared null and void because of fraud in 2004 and a pro-Western president was put in charge by the orange revolution”, 23 Russia has always been convinced that the West and the United States in the first place of course, intend to use Ukraine as an anti-Russian base. As Putin sees it, the USA wants to isolate Russia from Europe and intends to break its backbone. From 2004 to 2010 the Russians “rebuilt” Yanukovich, which was not a hard job, since living conditions in the Ukraine had not improved under the pro-Western government either. Life had not become either easier or more secure for Ukrainian citizens. In 2010 when voters fell back again on Yanukovich, 24 the USA was busy with Iraq and Afghanistan 25 and needed Russian cooperation in both those war theatres before it resigned itself to the outcome of the election. Yanukovich was indeed pro-Russian but did make moves towards the West, that is Europe, in order to broaden his elbow room that is Ukrainian independence. He made it clear on several occasions that he wanted to become a member of the Union, but the EU did not show signs of being receptive. By 2013, as a result of European reticence and of the developments described above, Moscow turned towards Eurasian integration. It is concluded a free trade agreement with Belarus and Kazakhstan, while trying to torpedo joint European action for instance on the energy front by financing anti-integration, radical left-wing and right-wing movements and parties within the Union. 26 The latest Ukraine crisis broke out when President Yanukovich was about to sign a customs union agreement with the European Union and therefore urgently needed money to settle the gas supply debt he had accumulated vis-a-vis Russia. The European Union did not put that amount to his disposal. Therefore he was left with no option but to accept Russian credits, coupled with a promise of substantially reduced gas prices and to turn eastwards and join the Russian led economic and trade Alliance. This is when the spontaneous revolution in which the pro-Western part of the divided nation intended to prevent Ukraine joining the Russian led economic and trade alliance. The West realises at last that it had to take a stance and both the Union, that is the Germans and the Poles and the United States stood behind the forces gathering in the central square of Kyiv. 27 President Yanukovich was toppled and a new, pro-Western president was elected. 28 Russia could not remain idle, given that its oil exports to the West were passing through Ukraine. It would be at the mercy of the Ukrainians and could not be sure when they would block oil supplies or when they would decide to siphon them. Europe is also dependent on gas supplies through Ukraine, especially since the Middle East has become unstable. (It would perhaps be worth asking why the planned Nabucco gas pipeline project was foiled at an early embryonic stage, 29 and to what extent that plan pushed for years by the Union was realistic and mature. While the Northern Stream is already in operation and several southern pipeline routes are still seriously considered.) Europe was undecided and impotent during the Ukraine crisis and just like during the Cold War, ceded the initiative and the decisions to the United States. 30 As for the USA, it turned Ukraine from a neutral and pro-Russian country into a pro-American one in a few months, while further increasing Russia’s feeling of being cornered. 31 Ukraine triggered Russian action in the Crimea by floating its consent to the stationing of the Russian fleet there. Russia was so the more confident in launching its adventure in the Crimea, 32 since it wasn’t its first successful military enerprise, given that a similar one had taken place against Georgia in 2008, 33 without entailing any consequences at all, on the contrary president Obama dismantled the anti-missile systems deployed under George W. Bush in Poland and in the Czech Republic. 34 The methods had been similar. A limited target was set and violence was reduced to a minimum in order to prevent the West from mobilising its public opinion behind potential military countermeasures to the fait accompli. The Crimea peninsula had been given to Ukraine as a gift by Nikita Khrushchev, and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union the Russian leadership was still on the floor and did not renegotiate the borders. At first, the Black Sea fleet remained in joint property, then it was split and the Sebastopol Navy base was leased to Russia for twenty years in 1997. The lease was then extended in 2010 for another 25 years. 35 The West did not accept the “reoccupation” of the Crimea. But it doesn’t seem able – or willing – to reverse it. In fact, as President Obama said in March 2014, “We will not launch military operations in Ukraine”. 36 The countries of the region are therefore rightly worried, for they cannot rule out being left on their own in case of a similar attack. Not even if they are members of NATO. 37 Europe proved to be paralysed as usual, but when the United States started talking about sanctions, so did European leaders in its wake. Investors turned their backs on Moscow; Russian capital started looking for escape routes. Meanwhile, followers of the example set by the Crimea created separate ‘peoples republics’ in Eastern Ukraine which merged into a federation and even adopted their own joint constitution. The outcome was not a carbon copy of the solution adopted in the Crimea. The insurgency was supported by Russia, but only to the extent indispensable for preventing an immediate crackdown. The Western media took sides against Putin, especially when Air Malaysia flight MH17 from Holland was shot down over Eastern Ukraine by what they claimed were Russian surface-to-air missile launchers operated by the insurgents. None of the 298 passengers survived. 38 More serious sanctions started being applied. 39 Putin was left with no other choice than to accept an offer by China which had been a silent observer throughout the Ukraine conflict. With an anti-Russian Europe emerging into a Euro-Atlantic customs union, Russia was bound to turn towards Asia, no matter how high the price set by China would be. Even if at a depressed price, it could still sell its oil and gas to China. 40 The main issue therefore was to isolate Europe from Russia or the other way around. Even at the price of pushing Russia towards China. 41 Russia is leaving a serious hotbed of conflict behind. In their present state, the integration of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova into NATO and the European Union will be job enough for any man. 42 Foreign policy based on ideology is an invention by clever countries for dumb ones. Viktor Orbán, 2014 The USA could win the Cold War because following Adenauer’s advice, president Richard Nixon broke the Eurasian alliance already bleeding from a thousand wounds and won over China to its own side. America supported China’s technological and modernisation revolution because it considered China since the beginning a huge potential market and a most important ally against Moscow. When the Soviet Union crumbled, global markets were confronted with unprecedented opportunities, which resulted in a huge wave of economic prosperity. Led by its well-conceived interests and in the spirit of realpolitik, the United States never insisted on exporting democracy to China. It soon left the Tiananmen square bloodbath of June 1989 behind it and took note of the fact that Western type democracy would not be introduced in China any time soon. From that moment on, Chinese citizens could not regard the United States anymore as a power they could count on for supporting their strife for liberty. 43 Anti-American feelings were also aroused by consistent US action in defence of patent and trademark rights against small and medium size Chinese enterprises which made a living out of copying Western merchandise and flooding the fast expanding domestic market. Their livelihoods were protected by the Chinese government against Western authorities. There were also two further factors that strengthened anti-Western prejudice in China. In 1999, the Americans bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade by mistake, then on 1 April 2001 an American reconnaissance plane made an emergency landing on Hainan Island, in Chinese territory. President Boris Yeltsin signed a trade agreement with China on the sale of energy sources as early as in 1994, but that intention never materialised. Moscow is deeply concerned by sharing the longest border line of the world with China and was exasperated by the continuous flow of Chinese citizens into scarcely inhabited Siberia. Fears for Siberia and oil prices being curbed as a result of conflict in the Middle East 44 froze the expansion of oil and gas drilling in Siberia for twenty years, but nowadays those projects can go ahead unhindered. The sharpening of the situation in Ukraine as well as the appearance of shale gas with the American-European trade and customs union in the background have shed a new light on Sino-Russian relations. 45 As it has been mentioned above, with shale gas at its disposal, the USA cannot only dispense with Middle Eastern oil imports, but by defining the price of shale gas it will become able to determine on its own the world price of crude oil as well, on the condition that it will be able to deprive markets of the access to other energy resources. (By prolonging insecurity in the Middle East and isolating dictatorial Russia.) If it opts for the use of the oil weapon so successfully employed by Ronald Reagan, it can force Russia again on its knees. Sino-Russian rapprochement, the first sign of which was the energy deal struck a few months ago, 46 may have at least as big an impact as Nixon’s visit to Peking had over four decades ago. China is to buy Russian energy because it is unable to influence either events in the Middle East or the American plans in connection with shale gas. 47 America has both the new technology in its hand and the necessary military capabilities. China has a huge market, enormous monetary reserves and a huge energy demand. Russia is being pushed towards Asia by the West, although this serves the interests of the USA in the first place much more than those of Europe. Europe would also need Russia in order to strengthen its position vis-a-vis the USA, and likewise, Russia can only feel safe vis a vis Asia if it can remain part of Europe. Russia and Europe together could be a strong partner in negotiations both with the United States and with China. 48 Zbigniev Brzezinski, president Carter’s national security adviser who is still an authoritative observer and whose advise are held in esteem by President Obama himself, told CNN recently that China cannot afford a slowdown in the world economy as a result of Russian-American-European conflicts, because it would cause grave political difficulties at home, and consequently China must be persuaded to support the USA in the conflicts over the Ukraine and the Middle East. 49 Only recently, China has founded a joint bank and monetary fund with the BRIC countries (Brazil, Italy, India, South Africa) as a counterweight to US dominance in world finances ever since World War II (through the IMF, the World Bank). It is planning to make the Yuan, convertible within a decade which could weaken the position of the dollar. 50 Europe, i.e. Germany Sun Tzu Europe was shaken by the crisis of 2008 which amplified contrasts of interests within the European Union. Germany and the Union survived under the guidance of strong-fisted and soft-spoken German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She is not a woman of words. She hardly ever speaks about vision or long-term strategy. Her main political weapon is anaesthesia. She drowns politics in Germany and in Europe in boredom, only to advance towards her goals behind closed doors, taking well planned steps one after the other ¬– an accomplished camarilla politician. During the most recent German electoral campaign there was not one single event that could have kept citizens awake for more than three minutes. This is why the totally unsurprising discovery that the Chancellor’s phone had been continuously tapped by competent US agencies and her outraged reaction made such noise. That fake outrage as well as the subsequent spectacular unmasking of a few American agents were probably motivated by the intention to win over the public in Germany and in Europe against the too pro-American German media elite 51 in case the debates going on behind closed doors for the moment over the American-European talks on free trade and customs union would reach the larger public. What is at stake in fact is nothing short of the future of Europe, the European Union and Germany in it. (And our future as well, needless to say.) 52 Is Europe strong enough, will it remain strong enough to preserve its own foreign political, geopolitical profile? Does it have any trump cards to be shown during the negotiations with the USA? No surprise therefore if the otherwise not to loquacious Chancellor elaborated in front of her party folks on the necessity for Europe to enhance its own defence capability within the foreseeable future. Although it would be very much unlike the Chancellor to quote historical examples, it is obviously not unlike her to share Bismarck’s wisdom in believing that the key to Germany’s destiny is a good contract with Russia. Chancellor Merkel also laid great emphasis this time on good German Russian relations. Not to speak about Social Democrat Schroeder who since the day of his resignation has been one of Putin’s main Western lobbyists and by the way chairman of the Gasprom Supervisory Board. Thus the escalation of the Ukraine-Russia conflict was in no way in harmony with Germany’s interests. A clear example of the extent to which German and American interests were conflicting is a tapped and then posted telephone conversation between the competent Assistant US Secretary of State and the US ambassador to Kiyv. 53 The economic sanctions urged by the United States against Russia will be gravely detrimental to the economic interests of Germany and Europe as a whole. 54 Some representatives of German big business even went so far as arrogantly calling on their elected leaders through the media to abstain from anti-Russian punitive measures which would have an unfavourable impact on their interests. 55 Anti-Russian economic sanctions certainly do tremendous harm to economic
How to warmup before training How to warmup before training Warming up before performing physical activity has been drilled into out minds since we started physical education. We would do a slow jog around the field and then perform static stretching afterwards. Was this the correct way to warmup? How should you warmup? Although it is considered essential to many individuals, the science supporting warmups is lacking. This is due to a lot of the studies have confounding variables and not being controlled. It has been shown, however, that active warmups (like doing a low intensity jog) improves short-term performances (an exercise that is less than 10 seconds). If the warmup is performed to close to the short-term performance or is too intense, it might in fact hinder performance. Furthermore, active warmups have also been shown to improve performance of a moderate duration (10 seconds to 5 minutes). Active warmups aid in both aerobic and anaerobic activity. These improvements to performance are said to be negligible in advanced athletes. Does stretching help? Whilst it is proven that stretching joints does increase range of motion and poor joint range of motion is implicated in injuries, it has yet to be shown to add any extra benefit to an active warmup. But there is still data suggesting that Achilles’s tendon, plantar fascia, and hamstring tendons, and stretching programs for all the major body joints do reduce the frequency of injuries. Therefore, data is mixed, and I would suggest that stretching should be performed as a precautionary method. Therefore, data is limited and mixed but as a precautionary method I would suggest 10 minutes of low-intensity aerobic activity followed stretching of the whole body (specifically major joints). Static stretched have been recommended to be held for 10 to 30 seconds for 4 repetitions of each joint. In conclusion, one should perform both active warmups and stretching to reduce the risk of injury and possibly improve performance. Leave a Reply You are commenting using your account.

A necklace is to be made from 3 red, 2 black and 2 white beads. How many possible configurations are there? 1 Answer There are 7 beads. If all the beads were unique, there'd be #7! = 5040# ways to arrange the beads. However, there are three groups of unique beads and within each group the beads are the same. And so we need to divide by the ways those groups can be interchanged (so that we get rid of duplicates). This gives:

Read The Case Study “Astro Airlines” At The End Of Chapter 12 And Answer The Question At The End Of The Reading. Astro Airlines Part 1 Arthur Burton established Astro Airlines in 1980, two years after the airlines were deregu- lated. Burton’s vision for the new airline has two key elements. First, the airline would provide low‐cost, no‐frills service to people who formerly could not afford to travel by air. Second, the airline would have a novel type of organization that provided a better way for people to work together, thereby unleashing their creativity and improving productivity. Burton was a dynamic, emotionally stirring speaker with a kind of evangelical fervor, and he took advantage of every opportunity to teach and affirm his vision. He was regarded by many employees as an inspira- tional leader who made you believe that you could do anything. The climate at Astro Airlines in the initial years was one of enthusiasm, excitement, and optimism. Instead of the typical bureaucratic organization, the new company had only three levels of management and few support staff. The emphasis was on equality, informality, participative lead- ership, and self‐management. Employees were organized into teams with shared responsibility for determining how to do their work. The teams elected members to represent them in advi- sory and coordinating councils that met with top management, thereby enabling them to par- ticipate in making important decisions. Managers were expected to provide direction but not to dictate methods or police efforts. Employees were expected to perform multiple jobs and to learn new skills. Even the managers were expected to spend some time doing regular line jobs to keep informed about problems and customer needs. The “status perks” found in most large organiza- tions were eliminated. For example, executives answered their own telephones and typed their own letters. New employees were carefully screened, because Burton sought to hire young, enthu- siastic employees who were willing to learn new jobs and who could function as part of a coopera- tive team. All permanent employees were required to share in the ownership of the company, and they could purchase shares of stock at a reduced price. Burton believed that a strategy of discount fares and convenient schedules with frequent flights would attract new passengers who would normally travel by car, train, or bus, or who would otherwise not travel. By keeping operating costs low, Astro Airlines was able to offer fares that were much lower than those of competitors. The salaries of managers and employees were lower than normal for the airline industry, although employees also received generous fringe benefits, profit sharing, and stock dividends. Costs were also reduced by purchasing surplus air- craft at bargain rates, by reconfiguring aircraft to carry more passengers (e.g., converting first class into coach seats), and by innovative scheduling that allowed the planes to fly more hours each day. Customers were charged for some frills such as meals and baggage handling that other airlines included in the price of the ticket. To reduce space normally needed for ticket counters at terminals, the ticketing for flights was done either in advance by travel agents or on the plane itself with innovative ticketing machines. The new company was an immediate success, and passenger volume expanded rapidly. In less than three years the company grew from a few hundred employees with three planes to more than 3,000 employees with 22 planes servicing 20 cities. This success occurred despite dismal conditions that caused widespread operating losses in the airline industry, including a severe eco- nomic recession, a crippling national strike of air traffic controllers, and brutal price wars. The flexibility of the company and the commitment and creativity of its employees aided its early growth and facilitated rapid adaptation to crises such as the strike of air traffic controllers. Copyright © 1993 by Gary Yukl 1. Describe Burton’s leadership behavior. 2. Was Burton a charismatic leader in the company at this time? Explain your answer. Part 2 Despite the early successes, the rapid growth of the company was also creating some seri- ous organizational problems. Employees believed that after the initial chaos of starting up the company, things would settle down and the intensely heavy workload would be alleviated. They were wrong; communication problems increased, the workload remained overwhelming, deci- sions were taking too long to be made, and too many decisions had to be resolved by top man- agement. These problems were due in part to the informality and absence of structure. As the number of routes, facilities, and flights increased, operational problems became more com- plex, but formal structures were not developed to deal with them effectively. The number of managers did not increase nearly as fast as the number of nonsupervisory employees. Burton refused to recruit experienced managers from outside the company, preferring to promote cur- rent employees into positions for which they initially lacked sufficient expertise. Overburdened managers lacked adequate support personnel to which they could delegate routine responsibili- ties. Managers complained about the pressure and stress. They spent too much time in meet- ings, they could not get issues resolved and implemented, and they could not provide adequate training for the rapidly increasing number of new service employees. The new employees were not getting the extensive training and socialization necessary to prepare them to provide qual- ity service, rotate among different service jobs, and use team management practices. Operating problems (e.g., canceled flights) and declining customer service (e.g., rude attendants) alienated customers and eroded the company’s reputation. Adding to the confusion was the worsening conflict between Burton, who as CEO was responsible for strategic planning, and the company president who was responsible for opera- tional management. In 1982, the president resigned, and Burton assumed his responsibilities rather than finding an immediate replacement. At this time Burton finally decided to appoint a task force composed of executives to develop ideas for improving the organization. The task force presented some initial proposals for new managerial roles and structures. Employees were subsequently promoted to these roles, and management training activities were initiated for them. Burton was heavily involved in this training; he conducted some of it himself, and he faithfully attended sessions taught by others, thereby indicating the importance he placed on it. However, other necessary changes in management processes were not implemented, and the position of president was still not filled. In short, Burton seemed unwilling to take the steps nec- essary to transform Astro Airlines from an entrepreneurial start‐up to an established organiza- tion. Indeed, his remedy for the firm’s problems was to set out on a new growth path rather than to concentrate on consolidation. He believed that what the company needed was an even bigger vision to get people excited again. Thus, he began yet another period of rapid expansion. The airline added new routes, purchased new and larger aircraft, and hired more new employees. By 1984, Burton no longer seemed content to run a successful regional airline. He con- tinued to make changes designed to transform Astro into an international airline that would compete with the major carriers. He decided to acquire some other regional and commuter air-lines that were financially weak. His strategy of rapid expansion was overly optimistic, and it ignored some important changes that were occurring in the external environment. Burton failed to anticipate the likely reactions of major airlines that were stronger financially and prepared to conduct a long price‐cutting war to protect their market position. New passenger traffic did not increase enough to justify the cost of the added flights, and Astro was unsuccessful in attracting many business travelers accustomed to frills and better service. The company began to experi- ence losses instead of profits. Internal problems also worsened in 1985. There was an attempt to unionize the pilots, and a substantial number of pilots quit, complaining that they were exploited and mistreated. Other employees began questioning Burton’s sincerity and accused him of being a manipulator. The perception among many employees was that he was now acting like a dictator, and no one dared to cross him. When asked about the absence of independent outsiders on the board of directors, Burton replied that he was the founder and largest shareholder, and he could determine what was best for the company. He fired a key managing officer who had been with the company since it was formed, presumably for challenging him and asking questions he no longer wanted to hear. Another founding executive whom Burton had appointed as president resigned and took several other employees with him to establish a new airline. In 1986, as financial performance continued to deteriorate, Burton abruptly abandoned the distinctive strategy of discount fares and no‐frills service and began offering full service with higher fares to lure business travelers. However, operating losses continued to mount, and in a last desperate move, Burton changed back to his original strategy. It was all to no avail. By the summer of 1986, the losses increased and the company entered bankruptcy proceedings. 1. What dysfunctional aspects of charismatic leadership were displayed by Burton?

next up previous contents Next: Minijets Up: Background and the Interaction Previous: Synchrotron Radiation and the tex2html_wrap_inline1399 pairs from Beam-beam Interaction and Masking An enormous amount of tex2html_wrap_inline1399 pairs will be created during collisions, for instance a few times tex2html_wrap_inline1647 pairs per a bunch crossing at JLC-I. Although most of them are inherently scattered in very forward angles, they can be greatly deflected by a strong magnetic field produced by an on-coming beam, so that they can enter the detector region while becoming background. This process has already been studied in details by simulations using ABEL [12] and GUINEA-PIG. [13] Figure 7: Electrons and positrons scattered by beam-beam interaction at JLC-I, where the the vertical and horizontal axes are the scattering angles in vertical and horizontal directions, respectively. Figure 7 shows the angular distributions after the beam-beam interaction obtained by ABEL for JLC-I. Many particles (electrons or positrons) are scattered at large angles beyond 200mrad. We can also clearly see an asymmetric distribution in the azimuthal direction. More particles are deflected in the vertical direction than in the horizontal one because of a very flat transverse beam profile (tex2html_wrap_inline1649). Actually, a method to measure nanometer-beam-size has been proposed using these angular distributions. [14] Since the energies of the particles are relatively small, a few hundreds MeV, most of them are confined to around the beam axis in a solenoidal magnetic field of 2 Tesla for the case of JLC-I. When they hit the QC1 at the opposite side, many of the photons are back-scattered uniformly into the detector region and become serious background. A masking system has been proposed to shield the back-scattered photons (Fig.8). A conical mask of heavy metal(tungsten) has been chosen to effectively absorb the photons. The front aperture of the mask was optimized for the core of the particles to pass through the mask. Figure 9: Particles of tex2html_wrap_inline1399 pairs at the front face of the mask (44cm from the IP) for JLC-I, where the vertical axis is their energy and the horizontal one is their radial position. Figure 8: Masking system in a solenoidal magnetic field of 2 Tesla around the IP for JLC-I. Figure 9 shows the radial distribution of the particles as a function of their energies at the front face of the mask, 0.44m from the IP. As can be clearly seen in the figure, there is the maximum core radius of tex2html_wrap_inline14215cm, at an energy of 0.1GeV. It is safely smaller than the aperture of 6.7cm. Particles outside the core are inherently scattered by much larger angles than the deflected ones, which represent possible background in the detector to be considered. Figure 10: Hits per a bunch crossing by the pairs in B=2Tesla as a function of the radius(tex2html_wrap_inline1655 of a cylinder for two angular regions ((a) and (b)) for JLC-I. In order to numerically estimate the background due to pairs in a vertex detector, we plot the number of hits for the particles to traverse a surface of a cylinder as a function of its radius, assuming no interaction there(Fig.10). Remembering that a train consists of 72 bunches in this case(JLC-I(c)), the total number of hits is on the order of tex2html_wrap_inline1657 per a train crossing during tex2html_wrap_inline1659nsec at tex2html_wrap_inline1661=2cm. In the central tracking region at tex2html_wrap_inline166330cm, the total number of hits is expected to be less than 100/train. Very recently D.Schulte proposed a similar masking system (Fig.11) with more detailed simulations for TESLA at LC95. [15] He found that back-scattered electrons (positrons) contribute to the hits at the vertex detector more than do the primary particles, although they would reach the detector more than 20 nano-seconds later. To reduce their number, additional masks are introduced around a superconducting quadrupole magnet and inside the mask, as shown in Fig.11. A graphite mask was found to effectively absorb back-scattered particles of lower energies. Figure 12: Hits per a bunch crossing in the inner layer of the vertex detector for TESLA, where the vertex detector covers the angular region tex2html_wrap_inline1671200mrad. Figure 11: Masking system for TESLA proposed by D.Schulte at LC95, where tex2html_wrap_inline166566mrad and tex2html_wrap_inline166733mm. The nearest superconducting quadrupole magnet is located 3m from the IP, and the aperture is 48mmtex2html_wrap_inline1641. With this configuration, he calculated the number of hits in the inner layer of the vertex detector at tex2html_wrap_inline167315tex2html_wrap_inline142130mm as a function of the half aperture of the inside mask (tex2html_wrap_inline1677). In this case, the back-scattered particles were also taken into account by the simulation. As clearly shown in Fig.12, a smaller tex2html_wrap_inline1677 can significantly reduce the number of hits, even at tex2html_wrap_inline167315mm. Since the bunch separation of TESLA is 1tex2html_wrap_inline1589sec, while it is 1.4-5.8nsec for JLC-I, the resultant hit number can be compared to the number per a train crossing for JLC-I. next up previous contents Toshiaki Tauchi Fri, Dec 20, 1996 02:24:05 PM
Amazing See-Through Prosthetics Made with 3D Printed Titanium That’s why we were taken aback when we came across industrial designer William Root‘s innovative new take on prosthetic engineering with this futuristic structure of geometrically intersecting metal strands. Called Exo, Root’s prosthetic concept combines his interests in aesthetics and biomechatronics, as well as inquiries into the preferences of amputees. “In my research it became clear to me that there is a lot wrong with how designers typically try to approach a prosthetic limb and how the industry goes about making prostheses,” says Root. “Prostheses are not aesthetically pleasing, extremely expensive, and difficult to produce.” Root’s improved process starts by making a scan of the patient’s anatomy. He envisions using a technology from MIT’s Biomechatronics lab called FitSocket which uses an array of pressure sensors to gauge the softness or stiffness of a patient’s remaining tissue. With this data, a nearly perfect “socket,” the term for the interface between the patient’s body and prosthetic, can be manufactured. Using the same data, Root would extrapolate a 3-D model of patient’s full leg which is turned into a triangulated mesh. “It has the maximum strength for the least amount of material with the added benefit of looking really slick,” says Root. A stress analysis tool helps determine weak-points on the model and software increases the mesh density of the structure to compensate. Though Root notes further analysis of the weight distribution and point loads will be needed to create a fully functioning limb. The result is a jet black prosthetic made from sintered titanium powder or high-strength plastic that makes the wearer look as if they’re materializing from a video game. “Prosthetic limbs are stigmatized because they are so inhuman; most aftermarket companies that try to address this problem attempt to create a realistic-looking leg, which crosses into the uncanny valley,” says Root. To Root, legs made from flesh-colored rubber are a symptom of a thought process where prosthetics are considered mass produced products rather than the ultimate form of wearable. “With prostheses you are essentially designing a person, their body already dictates the form,” he says. “Each leg needs to be as unique as its owner.” He envisions future iterations of Exo where colors or patterns of the mesh could be modified to suit the wearer’s personal sense of style. prosthetics-leg-3d-printed-titanium-william-root-6 prosthetics-leg-3d-printed-titanium-william-root-703 04 Like it?

Art Course Learn in the UK with an intensive course and improve your skills surrounded by experts who are all experienced with academic backgrounds. We offer three different courses including Porcelain, Fine Painting and Jade. Small-size tutorials are complemented by hands-on experience at auction houses, study trips and lectures by curators, artists and experts. All of these elements help students gain a thorough understanding of the art world. Our Courses mainly take place in London, as well as further afield in the UK, such as Cambridge and Oxford where there are significant artworks to explore. Our Courses This course offers insight and knowledge, giving participants the skills to identify Chinese ancient porcelain art works, including its origins, material techniques and histories etc. In this course, we will reveal why Chinese ceramics were a leader in technological innovation through the study of body and glaze. We will focus on porcelains of the major Chinese dynasties, Tang (618-907), Song (960-1279), Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911), but also highlight special topics such as the various Song Dynasty ceramics, and blue-and-white in Ming and Qing dynasty. Meanwhile, students will study the ways in which ceramics have been valued as objects for daily use, religion or ritual, as well as collecting and displaying as an art collection. The importance of export markets and the adoption of foreign artistic styles will also be assessed. Fine Painting The arts of China are part of a continuous artistic tradition of some seven thousand years. The fine painting course will be broadly structured in a chronological fashion, concentrating in particular on the evolution of the arts in painting and calligraphy. Lectures on religion, philosophy and literature will help to understand and identify the social and political histories of the different periods into a wider context. Jade is a decorative art, jade carving starts from Neolithic times down to the 20th century. The course makes full use of London's world class art collections. A number of faculty-led visits to museums and private collections forms an integral part of the learning experience.

Abnormal Proliferation 17.10: Abnormal Proliferation Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter cells and all the future daughter cells. Such abnormal cell proliferation defines the characteristic of what we call cancer. The best example to explain this condition is the mutation in the RAS and MYC proteins. Normal RAS proteins are GTPases that function in signal transduction from cell surface receptors to the cell’s interior. RAS proteins can be denoted as the binary switches that cycle between ON and OFF states during cellular growth. Usually, these switches are tightly regulated, but in RAS-related diseases such as cancer, the RAS gene mutation or their regulator renders RAS proteins persistently active. For instance, a single amino acid missense mutation in the KRAS protein (a type of RAS protein) impairs its normal functioning. The mutant KRAS cannot be inactivated, leading to continuous growth stimulation. KRAS mutation occurs in 15%- 20% of human cancers, and is most commonly seen in colon cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and leukemia. Abnormal cell proliferation can also occur when mutation results in overexpression of MYC protein. The MYC oncogene belongs to a family of "super-transcription factors" and is deregulated in more than 50% of human cancers. The MYC affects a spectrum of cellular functions, including protein translation, cell cycle progression, ribosome biosynthesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and immune surveillance.

Home / Blog / Online pcb design and manufacturer Tricks to Design PCB Online pcb design and manufacturer Tricks to Design PCB How to understand online pcb design? What is printed circuit? Online pcb design and manufacturer, printed circuit boards or PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a circuit board insulation material, common in the method for forming the power lines above it. Connect electronic components together. A complete circuit board will include: PCB and components. They are connected to each other through soldering. That board can be connected to other terminals, or power through wires and jacks, hubs, etc. The role of online pcb design and manufacturer in life We see printed circuits in all current electronic devices from compact electric lights, leds, to smart devices such as phones, computers, etc. As the industry develops, electronic circuits become more and more compact, meeting higher requirements. Online pcb design and manufacturer While the world trend is gradually shifting from conventional electronic products to smart products that can connect to the Internet (IOT), the Online pcb design and manufacturer is an important factor in parallel development. with programming, specifically embedded programming. Types of printed circuits and manufacturing methods There are 8 types of printed circuits we most often encounter including: As the most common type, usually with 1 or 2 layers, low cost, medium stability. Commonly found in civil appliances such as led lights, radios. Or printed circuit Glass chip, with high density of glass fiber, makes printed circuit extremely difficult to break, good insulation ability. Currently being common very widely to gradually replace FR4 in embedded products, more advanced products Online pcb design and manufacturer accuracy of the signal is very high Printed circuits have high density, often found in small or integrated devices such as computers, phones, smart watches. These types of printed circuits usually have more than 2 layers to 6, 10 layers. Helps to reduce the size of the circuit, reduce the voltage loss. So, the accuracy of the signal is very high. Printed circuit can be bent, printed circuit soft is a technology that is not too new, but recently applied to many products. Commonly seen as LCDs, monitors, or bendable devices. The printed circuit has a metal base, which can be found in decorative aluminum led bars, led tube lights. Printed circuit for high frequency circuits Printed circuit for high frequency circuits, commonly found in radio transmitters, radio waves. also have a thick copper layer, often common in power circuits, circuits with large current consumption. circuit has a ceramic background, to be honest, I have never seen it. How to make printed circuits is also very much, in this article I will not talk too much. You can see more here What is printed circuit design? Online pcb design and manufacturer is about developing specific device requirements into schematics, then arranging components and drawing lines to connect them. Printed circuit design work usually divides into 2 phases: Principle circuit design: It is important to have a certain understanding of electronic circuits and electronic components, from specific problems, select components and draw schematic diagrams. The schematic diagram directly affects the correctness of the circuit, an incorrect circuit is unusable. The non-standard PCB design will lead to noisy circuits Designing printed circuits: Requires 1 knowledge of wiring rules, calculating the length and width of conductors. Know the rules when layout. In general, this step is quite simple but takes a lot of time for newbies. The non-standard PCB Online pcb design and manufacturer will lead to noisy circuits, not enough capacity, …. In contrast to the four-layer structure, this structure designs to accommodate the RF signal layers on the bottom layer with an immediate reference layer of Layer 5 ground. Layer 3-4 is common to place the tracks for low frequency signals with the reference layers Layer 2 and Layer 5. An example of an eight-layer structure In this structure, high-frequency signals are transmitted in the top layer of Top Layer 1, the reference layer for them is the ground layer 2. You can also see that layer 3 has the same ground layer, and the same reference layer. If this structure is going to have conductive traces on Layer 3, you will definitely need capacitors to communicate between the power and ground layers. You can also use Layer 6 if you need to route high frequency signals where impedance control is critical. There will be less EMI problems with this layer because it shields between the two ground layers. Documenting your layer structure After you have defined and placed the layers in the structure, you should worry about preparing the manufacturer documentation. This is an important step because a lot of scrap in the PCB manufacturing process is due to misplaced layers. In addition to simply creating Gerber standard files for each layer in your Online pcb design and manufacturer, there are several strategies to help make your layer stack documentation more understandable to the fabricator. Let’s list them. online pcb design and manufacturer Adding a README File The PCB design software places each layer of the PCB in a separate file. You need to define how these layers will be arranged in the finished layer structure. To do this, simply add a README file and tell the PCB manufacturer the order of the layers. And the names of their respective data files, for example, as shown below: Applying a layer number directly to its surface In PCB Online pcb design and manufacturer software, we also recommend placing the layer number directly on the surface of the conductive layer. This layer number designation will be readily visible to the PCB manufacturer. Viewing the profile of the PCB drawings in the application is also important Applying a layer number directly to its surface Adding an Index Bar to a Copper Layer While numbered layers are useful, the numbers do not fully describe the physical arrangement of the layer stack. To solve this problem, you can add what calls a “stacking stripe” to the edge of each layer of the PCB. Online pcb design and manufacturer 2021 To do this, locate the first layer of the PCB. And add a 200 mil x 50 mil border so that it protrudes from the edge of the first layer. Then repeat this process for each subsequent layer, shifting the stripe on each layer by 200-250 mil. Conclusion Online pcb design In the end, you will end up with a set of ladder-style index strips that will show you if the PCB layers are in the correct order. This will help a quick visual inspection for quality control purposes and will also enable the PCB manufacturer to immediately assemble the PCB layers correctly into a single PCB. email chevron up

How Technology Is Changing Business and Industries The world of technology is ever changing, and not in a way we like. Every day, new applications are created for the myriad of technologies out there to exploit, which creates competition and sometimes confusion among customers and businesses as to what they need to do to stay ahead. As technology changes, we adapt, but how will consumers react? How will technology affect the way they do business? The following article looks at some of the ways technology is affecting our lives today. Digital devices, such as laptops and cell phones, have changed the way we do everything from communication to entertainment. The word “touch screen” was coined to simplify a complicated process of inputting information on a computer. This technology has also simplified the creation of jewelry, which is now done through 3D technology. Thanks to the power of the internet, anyone can design a jewelry piece from anywhere in the world. Technology is changing the way we do business, creating new opportunities and exciting new uses for existing ones. One example of this is the advent of e-commerce. Thanks to technological improvements, a business can exist online without needing a storefront or even a website. Because of this, an entrepreneur doesn’t have to spend thousands of dollars to create a presence on the internet, and instead can simply advertise and sell products over the internet. Computers are revolutionizing every aspect of our lives. Computers are the source of so much information that it’s hard to imagine the amount of knowledge that’s out there stored in their enormous collections. Our phones, thanks to wireless technology, have made it possible for us to communicate with each other even when we’re on the other side of the world. These tools, along with countless other innovations, have changed the way we do nearly every business and industry. In fact, just about every business and industry can be run or created using computers. Another important example of technology transforming our lives is video games and entertainment. Thanks to advances in technology, video games now rival the quality of television in terms of interactivity. Thanks to these technologies, families are spending more time together playing these games, and even whole communities of people from all over the world are becoming interested in this type of gaming. In fact, many businesses have been built around this incredible development. Basically, video games are changing the way we play games. Another example of transforming business and industries is the development of web 2.0 technology. Web 2.0 technology is a phrase that describes websites that are made available to the public and have different features that weren’t even thought of ten years ago. The reason this is such a great thing for businesses is because it allows businesses to reach a completely new audience, one that they wouldn’t normally have reached without this technology. This leads me to a final example of change and technology transforming business and industries. A couple decades ago, consumers used to buy DVDs and CDs just as they would movies. DVD disks and CD cassettes were expensive and they tended to break easily. It was hard to keep track of all of the different titles you needed for your movies. However, with the introduction of digital video, this changed dramatically. With this technology, movies could be stored on your computer, rented out, and even copied, so that you never miss a movie again. All of these examples of technology and business change are happening today. If you haven’t looked into creating an online presence or getting involved in ecommerce, you really should do so. As technology continues to advance at such a rapid pace, the possibilities are endless. It’s possible that you may start seeing more of your favorite businesses appearing on the internet. In the meantime, all you need to do is invest in the right technology and get started. Author: Patrick Robinson
Farming in Ancient Egypt Farming above Aldbourne - - 988326 Farming is growing crops and keeping animals for food and raw materials. Farming is a part of agriculture. Agriculture started thousands of years ago, but no one knows for sure how old it is.[1] The development of farming gave rise to the Neolithic Revolution as people gave up nomadic hunting and became settlers in cities. This allowed the human population to grow to such large numbers as they are today.[3][4] Types[change \| change source] Arable farming[change \| change source] Arable farming means growing crops. This would include wheat or vegetables. Growing fruit means having orchards devoted to fruit. They cannot be switched easily with growing field crops. Therefore, they are not classed as arable land in the statistics. Agriculture is not only growing food for people and animals, but also growing other things like flowers and nursery plants, manure or dung, animal hides (skins or furs), leather, animals, fungi, fibers (cotton, wool, hemp, and flax), biofuel , and drugs (biopharmaceuticals, marijuana, opium). Many people still live by subsistence agriculture, on a small farm. They can only grow enough food to feed the farmer, his family, and his animals. The yield is the amount of food grown on a given amount of land, and it is often low. This is because subsistence farmers are generally less educated, and they have less money to buy equipment. Drought and other problems sometimes cause famines. Where yields are low, deforestation can provide new land to grow more food. This provides more nutrition for the farmer's family, but can be bad for the country and the surrounding environment over many years. In some countries, farms are often fewer and larger. During the 20th century they have become more productive because farmers are able to grow better varieties of plants, use more fertilizer, use more water, and more easily control weeds and pests. Many farms also use machines, so fewer people can farm more land. There are fewer farmers in rich countries, but the farmers are able to grow more. Farmers select plants with better yield, taste, and nutritional value. They also choose plants that can survive plant disease and drought, and are easier to harvest. Centuries of artificial selection and breeding have changed crop plants. The crops produce better yield. Fertilizers, chemical pest control, and irrigation all help. Some plants are improved with genetic engineering. One example is modifying the plant to resist herbicides. History[change \| change source] Food[change \| change source] Sinai palm dates farming, Egypt It is important for there to be enough food for everyone. The food must also be safe and good. People say it is not always safe, because it contains some chemicals. Other people say intensive agriculture is damaging the environment. For this reason, there are several types of agriculture. • Traditional agriculture is mostly done in poor countries. • Intensive agriculture is mostly done in countries with more money. It uses pesticides, machinery, chemical fertilizers. • Organic farming is using only natural products such as compost and green manure. Agricultural policy focuses on the goals and methods of agricultural production. Common goals of policy include the quality, amount, and safety of food. Problems[change \| change source] There are some serious problems that people face trying to grow food today. These include: Crops[change \| change source] • Maize 624 million metric tons • Wheat 570 million metric tons • Rice 381.1 million metric tons • Cotton 96.5 million metric tons Related pages[change \| change source] Agriculture by country[change \| change source] References[change \| change source] 2.

poultry farms Animal Health Organic Solutions of Ammonia Control in Poultry Farms calendar icon With the advent of modern farming, raising chickens for meat or egg-type purposes became very intensive. This was brought mainly by the development of new hybrids and changes in nutrition, such as high protein feed. Moreover, major issues concerning the modern poultry production system continue to be a problem as chicken manure accumulates. The air can become highly polluted with ammonia from the droppings, which can damage the chickens’ eyes, respiratory system and can cause burns on their legs and feet. Some poultry farms use carbon-based material to cover the floor, which absorbs excess moisture and minimizes the birds’ contact with their droppings while the decomposition process will somewhat help to mitigate diseases and ammonia. However, this litter material contains uric acid from the birds’ dropping, and upon exposure to moisture, air, and microbial degradation; the uric acid is converted to ammonia that will increase the pH in poultry litter. Litter pH plays an important role in ammonia volatilization. Ammonia release remains low when litter pH is below 7, but increases to peak levels when litter pH is above 8. This is because the urease enzyme breaks down the uric acid into ammonia. The deleterious effect of ammonia has been observed through field studies at a level of 10ppm, which affects bird’s health and performance. Levels above 25ppm can damage a bird’s respiratory system and allow an infectious agent to become established. E Coli bacteria for example can be significantly increased in the lungs, air sacs, and liver when birds are exposed to ammonia and may result in decreased resistance to respiratory diseases. To reduce the potential effect of ammonia on bird's health, a necessary control measure needs to be imposed. As such, one of the cost-effective -natural approaches is the use of probiotics to control ammonia production and volatization within the farm.

Diseases and Disorders A Brief Overview of Sciatica Alex Rahal Sciatica results from complications within the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body, starting in the lower back and traveling down the legs. This nerve controls the muscles located in the back of the knee and lower leg, which in turn maintains sensory perception in the back portion of the legs. Damage to this crucial nerve can result in a set of symptoms known as sciatica, which results in numbness, tingling, or even pain in the back and legs; however, the symptoms occur regularly on only one side of the body [2]. This article will examine the symptoms, methods of diagnosis, treatments, and prevention techniques of sciatica, perhaps one of the most influential conditions in modern-day America. Although sciatica is relatively unknown among the majority of citizens in America, its reach and effect is widespread in the nation. According to Harvard Health Publishing, nearly 40% of all people will experience sciatica at one point in their life [2]. Due to its wide reach among the American populace, with nearly 3 million reported cases each year, information about sciatica, including its symptoms, is becoming more accessible to those afflicted with this condition [2]. Sciatica is associated with a wide range of symptoms, ranging from a simple weakness in the leg to a burning pain. Sciatic pain radiates from the lower back through the leg and down to the foot. The pain associated with sciatica comes in different forms, ranging from a small ache to sharp jolts of pain; such pain often occurs on only one side of the body. This pain can often render it difficult for the affected person to move their legs or stand up. Furthermore, feelings of pain and discomfort can be intensified with coughs or sneezes [3]. In extreme cases, sciatica can lead to loss of bowel or bladder function [4]. However, not all cases of sciatica yield such dire consequences. Some of sciatica’s symptoms can be mild. Examples include a tingling sensation or numbness. Multiple symptoms of sciatica may be present in some patients; pain, numbness, and tingling could all occur simultaneously in different portions of the leg. To diagnose a patient with sciatica, doctors will often order their patients to conduct many activities to test their muscle strength and record their pain. Activities, such as raising one leg at a time or rising from a squatting position, are often used to test for sciatica. If the patient truly does have sciatica, their pain should worsen, making it easier for their doctor to diagnose them [5]. Many machines are also used in sciatica’s diagnosis, including X-Ray, Magnetic Response Imaging (MRI), and Electromyography (EMG). All of these methods allow doctors to determine, what, if any, causes of sciatica are present. This includes herniated disks and bone spurs (the overgrowth of a bone), which cause sciatica when they pinch the sciatic nerve [4]. Once a patient is diagnosed with sciatica, their doctor can assign a wide variety of treatments. Treatments and Prevention After a patient is fully diagnosed with sciatica, their doctor often prescribes medications such as anti-inflammatories. Medicinal treatments under this category include Ibuprofen, muscle relaxants, narcotics, and tricyclic antidepressants, all of which are designed to mitigate the pain caused by sciatica [3]. In limited cases, doctors may inject corticosteroids into the affected area, which reduces inflammation around the nerve [4]. In the past, bed rest was the recommended remedy for mild cases of sciatica. However, this is no longer seen as a suitable treatment, as a paper by B.W. Koes, a professor from the Department of General Practice at the University of Medical Center Rotterdam, M.W. van Tulder, a professor of health technology assessment at VU Medical Center, and W.C. Peul, a neurologist, indicates. Koes, Tulder, and Peul recommend more physical activities compared to bed rest. “A few hours of bed rest may provide some symptomatic relief but does not result in faster recovery,” the study indicated [7]. In some extreme cases, surgery may be conducted to remove a portion of the bone spur or herniated disk that irritates the sciatic nerve when it is the cause of extreme weakness or worsening pain [4]. While there are many treatments for sciatica, avoiding it entirely is much simpler and appealing. Although not all causes of sciatica can be prevented, including degenerative disc disease, pregnancy, and even age, the majority of causes can be prevented by taking simple precautions [6]. For example, obesity can increase the stress on the spine, which can lead to sciatica. In addition, diabetes increases the risk of nerve damage due to its effect on the body’s use of blood sugar. By managing and maintaining a healthy weight, these contributors to sciatica can be mitigated. In addition, prolonged stillness in one position (particularly sitting) can contribute to the appearance of sciatica. Good posture, which relieves the spine of stress, serves as an effective countermeasure to this neurological disorder. Another way to prevent sciatica is regular exercise, which strengthens the muscles in the back and abdomen, which in turn strengthens the spine. Finally, avoiding smoking products can prevent the degeneration of the spinal discs, which also contributes to the prevalence of sciatica [6]. Many of these precautions not only help prevent sciatica, but also other degenerative physical conditions, increasing the likelihood of living a longer, healthier, and happier life. Sciatica’s reach and effects on American citizens is unparalleled by most conditions. Every person should have a deep understanding of this condition, its symptoms and diagnosis process, and the steps needed to prevent sciatica altogether. Medical treatments to sciatica have been steadily advancing throughout the years, including a rice-sized pellet injected near the inflammation, reducing pain caused by sciatica. As medical knowledge continues to expand, newer treatments such as this will become more common and sciatica may lose its painful influence in America. 1. “NJ Sciatica Treatment-Bergen/Passaic County: New Jersey.” Oakland Spine and Physical Therapy. www.oaklandspinenj.com/ condition/sciatica/.

Girls and TBI Recovery Girls who suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) may be more susceptible to behavioral problems like psychological distress and smoking compared to boys, according to a new study. * Each year, TBIs cause 2.5 million emergency room visits, and so far research has consistently shown that they’re more common among boys than girls. Girls still get them, though, and often in sports like soccer, basketball and cheerleading. A new study published in the journal PLOS ONE that surveyed 9,288 Ontario students in grades 7 through 12 reports that girls who suffered brain injuries—in sports, most commonly—were more likely to report having contemplated suicide, experienced psychological distress, been the target of bullying and having smoked cigarettes. * Overall, the new study reports that one in five adolescents had sustained a TBI that resulted in their loss of consciousness for at least five minutes or hospitalization at some point in their lifetime. Boys experienced them 6% more than girls. These young people who had experienced a lifetime TBI also reported behaviors in the last year like daily smoking, binge drinking, using marijuana, cyberbullying and poor grades. * Girls get TBIs most often playing soccer and basketball, but other sports—cheerleading, in particular—have very high risk for injuries. The American Academy of Pediatrics has called for more safety regulations for the cheerleading, even though it tends to not be included in national high school sports injury research. (

General Manufacturing Leverages Automation Technology for Productivity Gains General manufacturing companies are involved in the fabrication, processing, and preparation of products from raw materials and commodities into components, assemblies, and final consumer products across a wide variety of industries. This includes manufacturing companies that produce all of the world’s foods, chemicals, textiles, machines, and equipment. Some of the primary categories of general manufacturing include apparel, chemicals and plastics, electronics and electrical equipment, fabricated metals, food and beverage, furniture and fixtures, machinery, paper, printing, rubber, stone, and much, much more. General manufacturing companies have depended on machinery and the tenets of automation since Henry Ford’s first production lines. In short, automation technology helps manufacturers to increase productivity, while reducing defects and waste. Traditionally, automation technology has helped companies to perform tasks or produce products that wouldn’t be possible with human labor alone, such as stamping metal parts. Automation technology has also improved product quality by providing automated machine vision and other quality assurance and product inspection systems, reducing waste. Today, advanced automation systems continue to fulfill these critical roles of capability and productivity, but it’s also helping to solve traditional labor gaps in key skills, such as welding and quality inspection, especially during uncertain times.
Increasing the Price of Petrol Is the Only Way to Solve Environmental Problems The environment is getting polluted day by day. There are manifold reasons such as deforestation enormous vehicles on the road and to name but a few. I disagree that increasing the prices of petrol is the only effective way to protect the environment. There are other alternatives namely say no to plastic, carpooling and recycling. At the outset, although hiking petrol prices can make the people stop using vehicles; but, it is not a successful way as people involved in different kinds of occupations. So they commute round the clock. The best alternative is to bring modifications in the behaviour of the masses regarding using plastic things. If people say no to plastic things, then they can greatly save their environment. For instance, people use a lot of plastic bags which are non-biodegradable and they burn these in the open air. So making people aware of the consequences of their activities. They can stop using plastic and they will become aware that the gases that release from burning these things can make their environment pollute and people can also face health hazards. Moreover, Carpooling is another efficient way. It will help in controlling pollution. The classical example is developed countries, where masses share their vehicles with others and it not only save their money but also creates less pollution because the number of automobiles will be less on the road. Furthermore, recycle things is another productive way. If people make their habit to recycle, they can contribute a lot to saving their surroundings. People really inspired by the creation of Nek Chand, who had built a Rock garden in Chandigarh. Thus the waste material instead of disposing of can be used in a useful way. As such, people will try to save their atmosphere. In conclusion, in consideration of the above analysis, it is ostensible that carpooling, recycling and a complete ban on using plastic things can assist a lot in regulating environmental problems.

Does magnesium help cancer? Can cancer patients take magnesium? Why is magnesium low in cancer patients? The causes of hypomagnesemia in cancer are diverse, and their pathophysiologic mechanisms can be categorized as follows: decreased intake, transcellular shift, gastrointestinal (GI) losses, and kidney losses (Table 2). What does magnesium cure? Microminerals, such as iron and zinc, are just as important, though people need them in smaller amounts. Magnesium is vital for many bodily functions. Getting enough of this mineral can help prevent or treat chronic diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and migraine. Is magnesium good for breast cancer? We found that magnesium intake alone may improve overall survival following breast cancer, and the association may be stronger among those with high Ca:Mg intake ratio. THIS IS IMPORTANT: You asked: How long after diagnosis does chemo start? Why do cancer patients take magnesium? In regard to cancer, magnesium intake has been associated with the incidence of some cancers and has been studied as a protective agent against chemotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Why do they give magnesium to cancer patients? Epidemiologic studies suggest that total magnesium intake may reduce the risk of CRC and pancreatic cancer. Several studies, including a randomized controlled trial, suggest that prehydration with magnesium or magnesium supplementation is protective against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. What are the signs of low magnesium? Is there a strong relationship between vitamin D deficiency and cancer? Can magnesium cause colon cancer? In this prospective cohort of women, we observed no significant association between intake of total magnesium and colorectal cancer incidence. Intake of magnesium from dietary sources was also not significantly associated with colorectal cancer incidence. Is it OK to take magnesium every day? THIS IS IMPORTANT: How much does a cancer doctor make a year? Is it good to take magnesium everyday? Does magnesium boost immune system? Magnesium. Magnesium keeps the immune system strong, helps strengthen muscles and bones, and supports many body functions from cardiac functions to brain functions. This is also a key hormone regulator for women. Low magnesium levels can contribute to PMS and menopausal symptoms. What vitamin is good for breast health? Research also suggests that high vitamin D levels are linked to better breast cancer survival rates. The best source of vitamin D is from the sun, so women who don’t get a lot of daily sun exposure can be deficient in vitamin D. What happens if you lack magnesium in your body? Over time, low magnesium can weaken your bones, give you bad headaches, make you feel nervous, and even hurt your heart. It can also lead to low levels of other important minerals like calcium and potassium. High levels of magnesium are much less common than low levels. How much magnesium should I take for breast cancer?
A Lack of Understanding Over the last few weeks a very well known Japanese artwork has been appearing on evening TV shows, with commentators all vying for the opportunity to lavish praise on the piece and how it has affected them or someone they know on a deeply personal level. While I may not have as fine an appreciation for art as someone who makes it a habit to visit museums and galleries, the reasons for why a truly remarkable piece is well regarded are generally not hard to find. That said, when it comes to this particular 19th century woodblock print, I am at a complete loss to explain why it receives such lavish praise. The Great Wave off Kanagawa 神奈川沖浪裏, otherwise known in English as The Great Wave off Kanagawa, was published almost 200 years ago by Katsushika Hokusai, one of the most well known Japanese artists to people outside the country. This is his most famous work, and also one of the most instantly recognisable pieces from Japan's history. There is no mistaking this as something created in Korea, China, or any other Asian country. That people enjoy this work of art almost two centuries after its creation is absolutely wonderful, and I'll readily admit that the attention to detail is incredible. From the "claws" that make up the extremities of the giant waves1 to the silhouette of Mount Fuji in the shapes of the smaller wave2, Hokusai did create a very intricate and detailed piece of work. Is The Great Wave worthy of all the praise that gets heaped on it, though? Regardless of how much I look at it, I really don't see what makes this artwork better than any other well known works from the end of Japan's Edo period. That people enjoy it or can connect with it in some fashion is fine, but it often seems like the same dozen men and one woman from Japan's past are being discussed ad nauseam on TV shows simply because the country has not found anyone recent to put on a pedestal3. Maybe one day I'll see what it is that everyone appreciates about this woodblock print. 1. This is not unique to Hokusai's work, as there is a large body of precedent in other works by artists such as Utagawa Kuniyoshi. 2. Again, which is not unique nor without precedent. 3. I would nominate 小畑健 (Obata Takeshi) for that pedestal, but that's just me. While he's most famous for drawing manga, some of his independent art books are truly out of this world.

The MiG 105 was nicknamed "Lapot" Russian: лапоть, or bast shoe (the word is also used as a slang for "shoe") for the shape of its nose. The program was also known as EPOS (Russian acronym for Experimental Passenger Orbital Aircraft). Work on this project finally began in 1965, two years after Dyna-Soar's cancellation. The project was halted in 1969, to be briefly resurrected in 1974 in response to the U.S. Space Shuttle Program. The test vehicle made its first subsonic free-flight test in 1976, taking off under its own power from an old airstrip near Moscow. It was flown by pilot A. G. Festovets to the Zhukovskii flight test center, a distance of 19 miles. Flight tests, totaling eight in all, continued sporadically until 1978. The actual space plane project was cancelled when the decision was made to instead proceed with the Buran project. The MiG test vehicle itself still exists and is currently on display at the Monino Air Force Museum in Russia. Gleb Lozino-Lozinskiy was the leader of the Spiral development programme. Differences between Dyna-Soar and Spiral[] Although having basically the same mission, Dyna-Soar and Spiral were radically different vehicles. For example: • While the X-20 Dyna-Soar was designed for launch atop a conventional expendable rocket such as the Titan III-C or Saturn I, Soviet engineers opted for a midair launch scheme for Spiral. Known as "50 / 50", the idea was that the spaceplane and a liquid fuel booster stage would be launched at high altitude from the back of a large, airbreathing mothership travelling at hypersonic speeds. The idea was similar to that used by the United States in launching the D-21 Tagboard reconnaissance drone from the back of the A-12 Oxcart. The mothership was to have been built by the Tupolev Design Bureau (OKB-156) and utilize many of the same technologies developed for the Tu-144 supersonic transport and the Sukhoi T-4 mach-3 bomber (somewhat similar to the XB-70 Valkyrie). It never made it off the drawing boards. The U.S. purportedly flew a similar design in the 1990s under the secret Blackstar project. • Dyna-Soar was designed with a fixed, delta-wing planform, while Spiral featured an innovative variable-geometry wing. During launch and reentry, these were folded against the sides of the vehicle at a 60-degree angle, acting as vertical stabilizers. After dropping to subsonic speeds post-reentry, the pilot activated a set of electric actuators which lowered the wings into the horizontal position, giving the spaceplane better flight characteristics. • Spiral was built to allow for a powered landing and go-around maneuver in case of a missed landing approach. An air intake for a single Koliesov turbojet was mounted beneath the central vertical stabilizer. This was protected during launch and reentry by an electric clamshell door, which would open at subsonic speeds. By comparison, Dyna-Soar was designed primarily for a once-off, unpowered deadstick landing, although some documentation claims that its emergency solid-fuel escape rocket (the third stage engine from an LGM-30 Minuteman ICBM) could be used for a go-around maneuver if necessary. • Spiral was designed as a lifting body, while Dyna-Soar was designed more like a conventional aircraft. • High temperature superalloy metals such as niobium, molybdenum, tungsten and rene 41 were to have been used in the heatshield structure of the X-20. Spiral was to have been protected by what Soviet engineers termed "scale-plate armour": individual steel plates hung from articulated ceramic bearings to allow for thermal expansion during reentry. Several BOR (Russian acronym for Unpiloted Orbital Rocketplane) craft were built and launched to test this concept. • In the event of a booster explosion or in-flight emergency, the insulated crew compartment of Spiral was designed to separate from the rest of the vehicle and parachute to earth like a conventional ballistic capsule; this could occur at any point in the flight. Such an escape crew capsule was also considered for Dyna-Soar, but American engineers eventually opted for a solid-fuel escape rocket that would kick the spaceplane away from an exploding booster, saving both pilot and spacecraft. • Much like today's Space Shuttle, Dyna-Soar was designed with a small payload bay behind the pressurized crew module. This could be used for lofting small satellites, carrying surveillance equipment, weapons or even an extra crewmember in a pop-in cockpit. Spiral, on the other hand, appears to have been intended to carry only its pilot. Presumably, this was because the extra space which could have held a payload bay was needed for the Koliesov turbojet and its fuel tanks. • Both Dyna-Soar and Spiral were designed to land on skids. The landing skids on Dyna-Soar were designed to deploy from insulated doors on the underside of the vehicle, like a conventional aircraft. Soviet engineers, most likely concerned about heatshield integrity, designed the landing skids on Spiral to deploy from a set of doors on the sides of the fuselage just above and ahead of the wings. This unusual arrangement resulted in a hard landing on at least one occasion. Gherman Titov, the second cosmonaut and the main test pilot of the MiG-105. A cosmonaut training group for pilots assigned to fly this vehicle was formed in the early 1960s. It went through many changes and was eventually dissolved entirely. Known members included: • Gherman Titov, the second man to orbit the Earth (see Vostok 2 mission). • A. G. Fastovets, who piloted the vehicle during the majority of its atmospheric tests. The БОР (Russian: Беспилотный Орбитальный Ракетоплан, Bespilotnyi Orbital'nyi Raketoplan, "Unpiloted Orbital Rocketplane"). Another spacecraft to use the Spiral design was the BOR series, unmanned subscale reentry test vehicles. American analogs X-23 PRIME and ASSET.

Whenever loans are paid back at commercial banking institutions Whenever loans are paid back at commercial banking institutions Interest amounts are decided by the rules of supply and need and fluctuate as supply and need modification. Within an financial environment in which demand for loans is high, financing organizations have the ability to command more lucrative financing plans. Conversely, whenever banking institutions along with other organizations discover that the marketplace for loans is just a tepid one (or even worse), rates of interest are usually lowered appropriately to encourage companies and people to get loans. Rates of interest are a vital tool of US financial policy. The Federal Reserve determines the attention price of which the government will bestow loans, and banking institutions as well as other finance institutions, which establish their particular interest levels to parallel those associated with “Fed, ” typically follow suit. This ripple impact might have a dramatic effect on the U.S. Economy. In a recessionary environment, for example, the Federal Reserve might reduce interest levels in purchase to produce a host that encourages investing. Conversely, the Federal Reserve usually implements rate of interest hikes whenever its board members become worried that the economy is “overheating” and at risk of inflation. By increasing or lowering its discount interest on loans to banking institutions, the Federal Reserve makes it appealing or ugly for banking institutions to borrow cash. By affecting the commercial bank’s price of cash, changes in the discount rate have a tendency to influence your whole framework of great interest prices, either tightening or money that is loosening. Whenever interest levels are high, we now have everything we call tight cash. What this means is not only that borrowers have to spend higher prices, but that banking institutions tend to be more selective in judging the creditworthiness of organizations trying to get loans. Conversely, whenever interest levels decrease, money is called effortless, and thus it really is both cheaper and simpler to borrow. The financial tools associated with the Federal Reserve work many entirely on short-term interest levels. Interest levels charged for loans of longer extent are indirectly impacted through the marketplace’s perception of federal government policy and its particular effect on the economy. Another main factor in determining interest levels may be the financing agency’s self- self- confidence that the money—and the attention on that money—will be compensated in complete plus in a prompt fashion. Default danger encompasses an array of circumstances, from borrowers whom totally are not able to meet their responsibilities to those who are simply just belated with a scheduled payment. If lenders are uncertain in regards to the debtor’s power to stay glued to the requirements associated with loan arrangement, they will need a greater price of return or danger premium. Borrowers with a proven credit rating, having said that, be eligible for what exactly is referred to as prime interest, which can be an interest rate that is low. The interest that is actual a loan just isn’t completely understood through to the length of this borrowing arrangement is specified. Rates of interest on loans are usually figured on a basis that is annual though other durations are occasionally specified. This doesn’t mean that the loan is meant become repaid in a year; certainly, numerous loans—especially into the world of little business—do maybe not grow for five or 10 years, as well as much longer. Instead, it describes the regularity payday loans Kentucky with that your interest and “principal owed amount that is”—the original recalculated in line with the regards to the mortgage. Interest is generally charged in a way that both the lent that is principal the accrued interest can be used to determine future interest owed. This is certainly called compounding. For small businesses as well as other borrowers, which means that the unpaid interest due regarding the principal is put into that base figure in determining interest for future payments. Most loans are arranged in order for interest is compounded on a yearly foundation, however in some circumstances, smaller periods are utilized. These second plans are more good for the loaner than towards the debtor, for they might need the debtor to cover more income in the run that is long. カテゴリー: top pay day loan パーマリンク

Mercury stabilization using thiosulfate or selenosulfate Zizheng Zhou Mercury is often found associated with gold and silver minerals in ore bodies. It is recovered as liquid elemental mercury in several stages including carbon adsorption, carbon elution, electrowinning and retorting. Thus a great amount of mercury is produced as a by-product in gold mines. The Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 prohibits conveying, selling and distributing elemental mercury by federal agencies in United States. It also bans the export of elemental mercury starting January 1, 2013. more » ... January 1, 2013. As a result, a long-term mercury management plan is required by gold mining companies that generate liquid mercury as a by-product. This thesis will develop a process to effectively convert elemental mercury into much more stable mercury sulfide and mercury selenide for safe disposal. The process consists of 1) extraction of elemental mercury into solution to form aqueous mercury (II) and 2) mercury precipitation as mercury sulfide or mercury selenide. Elemental mercury can be effectively extracted by using hypochlorite solution in acidic environment to form aqueous mercury (II) chloride. The effect of different parameters on the extent and rate of mercury extraction were studied, such as pH, temperature, stirring speed and hypochlorite concentration. Results show that near complete extraction can be achieved within 8 hours by using excess sodium hypochlorite at pH 4 with a fast stirring speed of 1000RPM. Mercury precipitation was achieved by using thiosulfate and selenosulfate solution. In thiosulfate precipitation, cinnabar, metacinnabar or a mixture of both can be obtained depending on the experimental conditions. Elevated temperatures, acidic environment and high reagent concentrations favour the precipitation reaction. Complete mercury removal can be achieved within 4 hours. However, it appears that the less stable metacinnabar tends to form when the precipitation rate increases. Selenosulfate solution can be produced by dissolving elemental selenium in sulfite solution at elevated temperature.

Welcome to the Adventure Hub for Weber & Davis Counties Sponsored by: Water Colors Family Adventure The flowing colors ~ the unpredictable pigment ~ the spectrum of saturation — watercolors are both beautiful and intimidating. But if you are a watercolor newby, don't let it scare you away. This summer you can explore the wonderful world of colors through water color! Here are a dozen tips to keep in mind: 1. Don't overdo it when shopping for paints. Stock your collection with a few basics. The type of paint you choose is totally up to you, but be sure that you have red, yellow, blue and black paint. 2. When it comes to brushes, get good ones! You don't need a lot of brushes — just a few good ones. A single round brush is a must, but you'll get farther with a starter set of brushes including small, medium and large round brushes, a medium flat brush and a mop brush. 3. Use real-deal watercolor paper When it comes to watercolor, paper is not just paper. If you try to paint on regular old printer paper or craft paper your colors won't stick and the paper will warp. Watercolor paper absorbs the moisture of watercolors, leaving you with bright pigment. You can start with a simple water color book or get some paper designed for what you are doing. You wouldn't eat peas with a knife, right? 4. Use a palette A palette will be your playground for mixing colors and exploring your water coloring world. A watercolor palette with little wells for mixing different colors is great. You can also use a flat, non-porous surface like an old plate. Get something bigger than what you think you'll need so your beautifully mixed colors don't bleed into one another. 5. Clean water and scrap paper are KEY tools! Clean water and scrap paper are the unsung heroes of watercolor painting. A container of clean water will help you thin paint colors and wash the brush when switching colors. Be sure to change the water out frequently so it doesn't get muddied with all your colors. Scrap paper let's you test out colors and consistency before putting them on your real paper. A small piece of watercolor paper is ideal, but you can use any paper. Just remember it won't dry the same as it will on your finished surface. 6. Prepare your space Keep your work surface, brushes, paint, palette, water for mixing, a paper towel for drying brushes and a piece of scrap paper all ready to go within easy reach. However, nothing should be in the way of your dominant hand. You don't want to knock anything over as you work. 7. Start with a sketch Before starting your project, work out your composition as a sketch.The sketch can be on a separate piece of paper to use as a guide, or you can draw a light pencil sketch on your paper. 8. Mix more paint than you think you need! You don't want to get down to that last petal of a beautiful flower and realize you're out of the color you need! It's difficult to re-mix a watercolor color with accuracy, so just play it safe by making sure you have a sufficient amount. 9. Embrace the bleed It's the nature of watercolor paint to bleed if applied too close to another color that is still wet. This can be frustrating, but it can also be an opportunity to create beautiful visual effects such as gradients. If you don't want colors to bleed into each other, let each color dry completely before applying the next. 10. Let masking fluid make life easier! (I'll bet some of us didn't even know this was a thing!) Watercolors are notoriously hard to control and they tend to make their way to parts of your painting where they're not welcome. The best defense is masking fluid, which blocks out any areas you don't want painted. Let the masking fluid dry, apply the paint and let it dry, then rub off the masking fluid to reveal totally clean paper 11. Don't let mistakes get to you! So you painted the wrong color, or the paint bled in a way you didn't like, or you accidentally painted a blotch on the page. No big deal! Things like that can either be fixed or incorporated into the painting. Embrace the experience. 12. Most of all, Have fun! CREATE and CAPTURE Memories squared! First create and capture a memory or 'picture' of something that makes you happy, and secondly, create and capture the memory of the experience. If you approach watercolor painting with a sense of fun and adventure, it will be a journey filled with FUN and ENJOYMENT instead of fear and disappointment. Experiment. Enjoy. Learn from your mistakes. It's all about the adventure! Pre-K Adventure For this adventure pull out a simple set of water colors and some pictures and let your little one enjoy the wonder of color and mixing and blending and bleeding colors together ~ all of those amazing things that happen when little hands pick up a paint brush and water colors! Community Engagement Adventure SUPERAchievers are going to want to take this project one step further and create a painting that is truly rewarding to them by painting something that will be meaningful for someone else.

Help protect the Great Barrier Reef with TensorFlow on Kaggle Join Challenge Tensor contraction according to Einstein summation convention. Implements generalized Tensor contraction and reduction. Each input Tensor must have a corresponding input subscript appearing in the comma-separated left-hand side of the equation. The right-hand side of the equation consists of the output subscript. The input subscripts and the output subscript should consist of zero or more named axis labels and at most one ellipsis (...). The named axis labels may be any single character other than those having special meaning, namely ,.->. The behavior of this Op is undefined if it receives an ill-formatted equation; since the validation is done at graph-building time, we omit format validation checks at runtime. Operations are applied to the input(s) according to the following rules: (a) Generalized Diagonals: For input dimensions corresponding to axis labels appearing more than once in the same input subscript, we take the generalized (k-dimensional) diagonal. For example, in the equation iii->i with input shape [3, 3, 3], the generalized diagonal would consist of 3 elements at indices (0, 0, 0), (1, 1, 1) and (2, 2, 2) to create a Tensor of shape [3]. (b) Reduction: Axes corresponding to labels appearing only in one input subscript but not in the output subscript are summed over prior to Tensor contraction. For example, in the equation ab,bc->b, the axis labels a and c are the reduction axis labels. (c) Batch Dimensions: Axes corresponding to labels appearing in each of the input subscripts and also in the output subscript make up the batch dimensions in Tensor contraction. Unnamed axis labels corresponding to ellipsis (...) also correspond to batch dimensions. For example, for the equation denoting batch matrix multiplication, bij,bjk->bik, the axis label b corresponds to a batch dimension. (d) Contraction: In case of binary einsum, axes corresponding to labels appearing in two different inputs (and not in the output) are contracted against each other. Considering the batch matrix multiplication equation again (bij,bjk->bik), the contracted axis label is j. (e) Expand Diagonal: If the output subscripts contain repeated (explicit) axis labels, the opposite operation of (a) is applied. For example, in the equation i->iii, and input shape [3], the output of shape [3, 3, 3] are all zeros, except for the (generalized) diagonal which is populated with values from the input. Note: This operation is not supported by np.einsum or tf.einsum; it is provided to enable computing the symbolic gradient of tf.einsum. The output subscripts must contain only labels appearing in at least one of the input subscripts. Furthermore, all dimensions mapping to the same axis label must be equal. Any of the input and output subscripts may contain at most a single ellipsis (...). These ellipsis are mapped against dimensions not corresponding to any named axis label. If two inputs contain ellipsis, then they are broadcasted according to standard NumPy broadcasting rules. The broadcasted dimensions are placed in the corresponding location of the ellipsis in the output subscript. If the broadcasted dimensions are non-empty and the output subscripts do not contain ellipsis, then an InvalidArgument error is raised. inputs A list of at least 1 Tensor objects with the same type. List of 1 or 2 Tensors. equation A string. String describing the Einstein Summation operation; in the format of np.einsum. name A name for the operation (optional). A Tensor. Has the same type as inputs. Numpy Compatibility Similar to numpy.einsum. Comparison with numpy.einsum: • This Op only supports unary and binary forms of numpy.einsum. • This Op does not support implicit form. (i.e. equations without ->). • This Op also supports repeated indices in the output subscript, which is not supported by numpy.einsum.
