Index of dispersion
In probability theory and statistics, the index of dispersion, dispersion index, coefficient of dispersion, or variance-to-mean ratio (VMR), like the coefficient of variation, is a normalized measure of the dispersion of a probability distribution: it is a measure used to quantify whether a set of observed occurrences are clustered or dispersed compared to a standard statistical model.
It is also known as the Fano factor, though this term is sometimes reserved for windowed data (the mean and variance are computed over a subpopulation), where the index of dispersion is the special case where the window is infinite. Windowing data is frequently done: the VMR is frequently computed over various intervals in time or small regions in space, which may be called "windows", and the resulting statistic called the Fano factor.
It is only defined when the mean μ is non-zero, and is generally only used for positive statistics, such as count data or time between events, or where the underlying distribution is assumed to be the exponential distribution or Poisson distribution.
In this context, the observed dataset may consist of the times of occurrence of predefined events, such as earthquakes in a given region over a given magnitude, or of the locations in geographical space of plants of a given species. Details of such occurrences are first converted into counts of the numbers of events or occurrences in each of a set of equal-sized timeor space-regions.
The above defines a dispersion index for counts. A different definition applies for a dispersion index for intervals, where the quantities treated are the lengths of the time-intervals between the events, and where the index is equivalent to the square of the coefficient of variation of the interval lengths. Common usage is that "index of dispersion" means the dispersion index for counts.
Some distributions, most notably the Poisson distribution, have equal variance and mean, giving them a VMR = 1. The geometric distribution and the negative binomial distribution have VMR > 1, while the binomial distribution has VMR < 1, and the constant random variable has VMR = 0. This yields the following table:
|constant random variable||VMR = 0||not dispersed|
|binomial distribution||0 < VMR < 1||under-dispersed|
|Poisson distribution||VMR = 1|
|negative binomial distribution||VMR > 1||over-dispersed|
When the coefficient of dispersion is less than 1, a dataset is said to be "under-dispersed": this condition can relate to patterns of occurrence that are more regular than the randomness associated with a Poisson process. For instance, points spread uniformly in space or regular, periodic events will be under-dispersed.
If the index of dispersion is larger than 1, a dataset is said to be over-dispersed: this can correspond to the existence of clusters of occurrences. Clumped, concentrated data is over-dispersed.
In terms of the interval-counts, over-dispersion corresponds to there being more intervals with low counts and more intervals with high counts, compared to a Poisson distribution: in contrast, under-dispersion is characterised by there being more intervals having counts close to the mean count, compared to a Poisson distribution.
The relevance of the index of dispersion is that it has a value of one when the probability distribution of the number of occurrences in an interval is a Poisson distribution. Thus the measure can be used to assess whether observed data can be modeled using a Poisson process.
A sample-based estimate of the dispersion index can be used to construct a formal statistical hypothesis test for the adequacy of the model that a series of counts follow a Poisson distribution.
The VMR is a good measure of the degree of randomness of a given phenomenon. This technique is also commonly used in currency management.
For randomly diffusing particles (Brownian motion), the distribution of the number of particle inside a given volume is poissonian, i.e. VMR=1. Therefore, to assess if a given spatial pattern (assuming you have a way to measure it) is due purely to diffusion or if some particle-particle interaction is involved : divide the space into patches, Quadrats or Sample Units (SU), count the number of individuals in each patch or SU, and compute the VMR. VMRs significantly higher than 1 denote a clustered distribution, where random walk is not enough to smother the attractive inter-particle potential.
The first to discuss the use of a test to detect deviations from a Poisson or binomial distribution appears to have been Lexis in 1877. One of the tests he developed was the Lexis ratio.
This index was first used in botany by Clapham in 1936.
If the variates are Poisson distributed then ihe index of dispersion is distributed as a χ2 statistic with n - 1 degrees of freedom when n is large and is μ > 3. For many cases of interest this approximation is accurate and Fisher in 1950 derived an exact test for it.
Hoel studied the first four moments of its distribution He found that the approximation to the χ2 statistic is reasonable if μ > 5.

5 Ways to Ensure Millennial Would Want to Dine in Your Restaurant
Restaurants around the world are doing everything they can to stay in business and stay ahead of the trends. At this point, it is hard to deny that millennials are the generation who are leading the food trends, as they eat out more, spend more of their income on dining experiences, and have a lot of opinions. Therefore, it makes sense that restaurants would want to attract this generation as their clientele.
If you are looking to bring more millennial diners into your establishment, read on for the five ways you can ensure that millennials want to dine in your restaurant.
1. Prioritize local food, sustainable practices.
If there is one thing that you can be sure of, millennials like to eat food that is grown locally and sustainably. After all, millennials care significantly about being conscious of the world and their impact on it. More than any generation before them, millennials care about the environment, which extends to the food they consume. Therefore, if you want them to eat in your restaurant, you need to show that you also care about the ingredients in your dishes and your environmental impact.
One of the ways to demonstrate this to millennials is by showing the origin of items on the menu. For example, if you are serving a lunch dish with eggs and bread, you can state that the eggs are from a particular local farm, the bread was baked in a local patisserie, and the condiments were made in small batches by a local company.
While these options may be more expensive, millennials have shown that they are willing to pay more for the ingredients that fit their perspective and lifestyle.
2. Have a wide array of beverages on offer.
In addition to your food offerings, you also want to consider your beverage menu carefully. Similar to their feelings toward food, millennials want to know where their beverages are coming from, and they are willing to pay more for healthier drinks produced locally.
For this reason, it is highly recommended that you work with mineral water suppliers in Dubai (or wherever you are located) so that you can offer them high-quality sparkling and still natural mineral water, as well as carbonated sparkling fruit beverages.
Furthermore, specialty coffee drinks and teas are popular with millennials who like to try beverages from around the world. For example, Darjeeling tea from India, pu erh tea from China, Qishir-spiced coffee from Yemen, and Hong Kong-style milk tea all have many millennial fans. Additionally, cappuccinos from Italy, Matcha from Japan, and cortados from Spain are all popular caffeinated beverages.
Millennials also enjoy mocktails and other non-alcoholic drinks. Some of the most popular mocktails for millennials include Virgin Daiquiris, Virgin Mint Lemonade, Pomegranate Spritzer, and a non-alcoholic Mojito.
3. Allow them to share plates.
Another dining trend that millennials love is small, sharing plates. These diners like to mix, match, and share what they have ordered, so they tend to prefer menus with a variety of small plates rather than single entrée sizes.
Millennials tend to love this style of dining because they're able to taste multiple dishes which works for their adventurous spirit that craves variety. This means that you can create a menu that is filled with smaller, higher-margin dishes.
Similarly, millennials like to sit at communal tables. This comes from the fact that they view dining out as an integral part of their social life. For this reason, they tend to eat in larger groups, which allows them to meet new people. Therefore, they like to be able to move around the table during the meal and want to ensure that everyone who is dining can interact with each other.
4. Provide them with an experience.
Known as the "experience generation," millennials live up to this stereotype, especially when it comes to their dining habits. Therefore, if you want to attract them to your restaurant, you need to provide them with something unusual. Whether that is funky interior design, a thought-provoking menu, photo-worthy dishes, or something else entirely, to catch their attention, it needs to be experiential.
Providing an experience is also good for business, as millennials are willing to pay a lot more for dining 'experiences' rather than just getting a meal. Even opting to host a game night, a themed evening, or live entertainment can do a lot to attract the diners you crave.
5. Have a social media and web presence.
For the generation that grew up with the internet, it is second-nature for millennials to quickly check out a restaurant's website or social media page before deciding to dine there.
In some cases, they will want to check out the menu; in other cases, they will want to see photos of the dishes and the interiors. If you do not have a social media and web presence, they are quickly going to move on to choosing to dine somewhere else.
Restaurants that recognize the importance of their social media and web presence can utilize it to reach a wider audience. By curating an aesthetic that looks pleasing across all platforms, you are positioning yourself to be in a better place to attract millennial diners.
What's more, if millennials like a restaurant, then they want to follow it and support it on social media platforms. In fact, research shows that millennials are more likely to be loyal to a restaurant that engages with them on social media.
Having a presence on social media is also a valuable marketing tool, as you can get free marketing by having your millennial diners share their experiences with their followers. In other words, restaurants that are lacking a social media presence are missing out on meaningful opportunities to connect with new millennial diners.
Are you a restaurant owner? If so, what steps are you taking to ensure that you can attract millennials? On the other hand, if you are a millennial diner, what do you look for in eating establishments? Let us know your thoughts and any relevant insights in the comments below!

of my screen, while opening the generated log file on the right (don't pay too much attention to the colors, the discoloration is due to how the alpha channel is being dumped):
It is then usually a rather straightforward task to find a suitable hash code by following these steps:
 - Find the point in the image dump where the first HUD elements appear. In our case, this happens when going from "dump113" to "dump114".
 - Use text search to find the corresponding line in the log file.
 - Continue on downwards to the first call of "SetPixelShader." The second parameter to this call is the hash code we are looking for.
One complication you might notice is that the HUD is already displayed in "dump111". This can happen in many games if a framebuffer used in a previous frame is not cleared. A more solid guideline for (1) in such cases would be "find the last point in the frame dump where no HUD elements are visible", but a bit of experimentation might be required even so.
Creating a Game Profile
In order to use our newly gained hash code, all that remains is creating a game profile for Mass Effect 3. This means creating a subdirectory in the "config" path of the GeDoSaTo installation named after the game executable—that is, as we figured out for the whitelist entry in the beginning, "MassEffect3"—and putting a "GeDoSaTo.ini" file into it. We can then use the built-in editor of GeDoSaToTool to edit it and add the hash code, like so:
We could also add more settings which we only want to apply for Mass Effect 3. Additionally, by placing a "post.fx" shader file in the same directory we can arbitrarily change the post-processing shader used for the game. As a small demonstration that our targeted injection is working, I created a shader which turns the image into a grayscale rendering:
As you can see, only the 3D rendered parts of the game are affected, while the HUD elements still retain their color. In addition to targeted postprocessing, we can now also use the "takeHUDlessScreenshot" keybinding in Mass Effect 3.
While its main purpose is still high-quality downsampling, the current version of GeDoSaTo can also be used as an alternative to SweetFX for the injection of post-processing effects. It goes beyond the scope of similar tools as, with a bit more effort, it can be tuned to apply only where you really want it to, without affecting HUD or UI elements.
If you find some hashes or create good profiles for games which are not yet supported, please do take a moment to contribute them to the project at Github, so that all users of GeDoSaTo can benefit from your efforts. Github offers an easy to use interface and plenty of documentation for how to set up pull requests, which are the best way to contribute—and of course your contribution will be immortalized in the GeDoSaTo version history!

Okay, so here's my question:
Every full 4-ary tree of height 2 has at least ________ vertices and at most ________ vertices.
I know the formula to find the max number of leaves is m^h leaves in an m-ary tree of height h.
However, I don't know how to find max/min number of vertices. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Okay, so I used the max number of leaves formula (m^h) to get the max possible number of leaves for my 4-ary tree. The answer is 16. So, I got to thinking, what if I use the formula n = (ml - 1)/(m-1) (n being vertices, m being the m-ary tree, and l being the leaves). I plugged everything in and got 21. Is this the answer of the max vertices? If so, how do I get the min?

Community Action brings local vegetables to low-income families through Farm to Preschool program
View full sizeSarah Cooper usually buys her groceries from a low-price supermarket, where she says produce is cheapest.
The 26-year-old Beaverton woman has a 2-year-old daughter and a tight budget. But recently, she and her family have been eating organic vegetables grown by local farmers as participants of the new Farm to Preschool program.
"I don't usually get a chance to get local produce," she said. "It tastes a lot better. I feel like I'm getting my vitamins better, too."
Farm to Preschool is run by Community Action, a nonprofit organization that strives to alleviate issues of poverty in Washington County, through its Home Based Early Head Start program. That program prepares Hillsboro and Beaverton children, age 3 and under, for kindergarten and focuses on parent involvement.
The 79 families enrolled in Home Based Early Head Start receive $10 worth of fresh produce from local farmers once a month for six months. The program, which started in May, is funded by a $7,860 federal Child Care Wellness Grant.
Home Based Early Head Start is designed for families with an annual income at or below the federal poverty level of $23,050 for a family of four. The program operates at no cost to participants and is full, although applications are accepted year-round.
Kathy Zane, the program area supervisor for Early Head Start, said she had been trying for years to start a program that brings local food to low-income families.
"We are trying to improve the diets of children, especially with what we know about the epidemic of obesity," she said. "That's what this is about — transforming our food culture."
As part of the program, a registered dietician provides monthly low-budget recipes and activities for teachers to show the parents and children during home visits. The activities are easy, such as making a salad, so that children can be included.
Teacher Monica Oyola said the program has provided parents with a fun approach to getting their children to eat more vegetables.
"When the children were involved in the preparation part," she said, "they were more willing to eat it."
Ana Laura Gaona, 40, of Beaverton, said she tried to use her Farm to Preschool shares as a way to introduce her children to cooking.
"They learned to make a salad," she said. "It is an activity that they liked a lot because they learned how to use tongs, how to squeeze a lime and how to add salt."
Gaona said she could distinctly tell the difference between the farm-fresh shares she has been receiving and store-bought vegetables. "They have more taste and color," she said. "Even the smell is different."
The program is also an avenue to introduce families to new types of produce, Zane said. In July, the families received golden beets, rainbow chard and French sorrel.
Florence Jessup, a farmer with Artisan Organics in Hillsboro, said buying fresh food that's in season and preparing it at home is far less expensive than buying fast food.
Americans spend a smaller percentage of their income on food than any other country in the world and eat more than people in most countries, she said, "yet we still have nutrient-deficiency diseases, because we're getting calories but we're not getting nutrition."
Teacher Lindsey Walsh said one of the program's goals is to show families that buying local is easier than most people think.
"I feel like sometimes our families hear the word organic and think 'oh, that's too fancy' or 'I can't afford that,'" she said, "but at the farmers markets you can get a pretty good deal."

Porto Santo
Christopher Columbus
Columbus House Museum of Porto Santo is located on Porto Santo Island.
The navigator Christopher Columbus lived in this house, during his passage through the Golden Island, in 1478, after his marriage to Filipa de Moniz, daughter of Bartolomeu Perestrelo, first Captain Donatory of Porto Santo.
The museum opened in 1989, having had several interventions over the years regarding its museum content.
The museum is divided into two floors: the ground floor, which has a shop and a temporary exhibition room on themes of Portuguese maritime expansion, and the first floor, which has three thematic rooms.
The first is dedicated to the Portuguese Expansion, where the strategic position of the island of Porto Santo and the archipelago of Madeira is presented in the context of the Portuguese maritime expansion.
The second room exposes elements related to the importance of the Spanish crown in world expansion and as a financier for the Christopher Columbus expedition in 1492; this space gathers a summary biography of the navigator and his family relations with Porto Santo, as well as some notes of reference to his trips to the American continent.
The third is dedicated to the Dutch colonial empire that was shown in the exhibition of part of the collection of the galleon of the Dutch East India Company "Slot ter Hooge", sunk in 1724, north of the island of Porto Santo.
The entrance ticket costs about 2 €.

Description of the Chicago City Council Proceedings Files Inventory
This database is an inventory of the Chicago City Council's proceedings files from the city's first incorporation as a town in 1833 through the year of the Great Fire of 1871. These files were maintained by the city clerk and served as the council's working papers, the primary documents written by or presented to the council. Its formal minutes were written from them and abstracts from the proceedings were published in politically-designated newspapers. These files thus form the most complete surviving record of the considerations and actions of Chicago's government for the period; no other source offers comparable details of the day-to-day public business of a town which grew into a city and then a metropolis of over 300,000 inhabitants in a little more than thirty-eight years.
There are 35,650 of these files, comprising 157 cubic feet of material. A file can consist of a single scrap of paper or several hundred pages. Each entry in the database represents one file. The following is a sample file title.
The file title can consist of up to 220 characters. The files' titles describe the principal documents in them, but additional papers relating to those documents are often found with them. In the above example, a remonstrance of H. Stevens, et al., against the assessment and a report of the Committee on Local Assessments on that remonstrance were also included in the file.
Care was taken in editing the file titles to preserve their original wording. Exceptions were made for the purposes of clarity and accuracy. Personal names found in the titles were often difficult to decipher; in those cases contemporary city directories were consulted for the assistance they could offer. Abbreviations were used extensively. Uncommon ones used include:
Each file has its own unique control number which is composed of three elements assigned by the nineteenth century clerks who first arranged this record series:
 1. Filing calendar or fiscal year,
 2. Sequential file number, and
 3. Filing month and day.
Level two is subordinate to level one and level three is subordinate to level two. This sample control number explains each of its parts.
The first level is chronological by calendar year for the period August 1833–March 1851; thereafter it is chronological by filing year. To conform to constraints of the database design, calendar filing years repeat the last two digits of the calendar year (ex. 1838/38). Filing fiscal years indicate the beginning and ending calendar years which they comprise (ex. 1861/62). Fiscal years are twelve months periods in which financial accounts are settled. For the period March 1851–December 1871 months comprising fiscal years vary as dictated by the clerks who first arranged this series.
The control number's second level is the sequential file number assigned it. For the period August 1833–March 1851 one sequential file numbering system was used. When Archives staff arranged and described these records it was discovered that clerks improperly assigned numbers to files 6759–6988. Rough chronological order was restored by returning folders to the years for which they were filed. Original file numbers were maintained in these instances and consequently the file number sequence was disrupted for the years 1846–1851. Bold entries in the File Arrangement table indicate disrupted file number sequence. Beginning in March 1851 each fiscal year has its own file number sequence.
Archivists added an alphabetical character to each file number to allow for irregularities in the filing system. This variable character was used for three types of errors. Occasionally at the end of a fiscal year clerks bundled piles of documents which had not been filed or acted upon, labeled them as miscellaneous papers, and assigned those packets file numbers. In these instances artificial files were created by Archives staff using the alphabetical character of the file number. The alphabetical character was also used by archivists when more than one file was assigned the same number within a file number sequence.
Originally files 1–144 were found at the beginning of this series. These files had been numbered arbitrarily because those with dates had no corresponding chronological arrangement and there was no relationship among files. Sixty-eight of these files could be dated and they were interpolated into the chronological listing, again using the alphabetical character of the file number. The remaining seventy-five files could not be dated and they were left at the beginning of the file structure.
The third level of the control number, filing month and day, is chronologically ordered. For control numbers with fiscal year filing dates as the first level, the calendar year of the filing month and day is not always apparent. In these cases the File Arrangement table should be consulted. For example, for the control number 1863/64 0539 A 12/07, December 7 can be linked to the calendar year 1863 by locating the fiscal year in the left-hand column under Filing Calendar or Fiscal Year and then following the entry across to the right-hand column under Filing Period to determine the calendar months comprising the fiscal year.
When filing dates are significantly different from the actual dates of documents in files, file titles add actual document dates as in the following example.
Although the filing structure of these records appears complex, it is clarified by the File Arrangement table.

The following text is for questions 5 to 7.
Beef rendang is one of the original cuisines of Minangkabau descent and Sumatra's culture.
It is served at special occasions to honor guests and during festive seasons. It is a delicious Indonesian dish prepared with a myriad of herbs and spices cooking for a few hours until all the liquids have been completely absorbed by the meat. Beef rendang is best eaten with steamed rice and condiments such as fried onions and chili pieces.
There are two types of beef rendang, i.e. dried and moist. According to Minangkabau (hence the name Minang rendang) tradition, their authentic beef rendang should be dry. Beef rendang is carefully stirred, simmered and cooked for three to four hours until the coconut milk has totally evaporated and the meat has absorbed the flavor of the herbs and spices. Dried rendang can be stored at room temperature for three to four weeks. It can even last up to six months if frozen.
Moist beef rendang is cooked for a much shorter time than dried beef rendang. The cooking process ends when the coconut milk becomes a thick gravy of the rendang. Moist rendang is more popular in neighboring countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and southern Thailand. One exception is rendang Tok found in the state of Perak, Malaysia, which is dry. Most rendang served in western countries is moist rendang.

Find out about the differences between IR and hot-air dryers and discover which features might be most useful to your operation.
Garment screen printers are used to two types of dryers on the production floor: infrared and hot air. Both dryers use a conveyor to transport garments through the curing chamber and use heat to set the inks on the garments (up to 330°F for plastisols). These are the only similarities between these two dryers. The dryers are otherwise very different in design, capacity, versatility, running cost, and level of investment. For starters, infrared dryers work with direct heat radiated from infrared panels to heat up the ink to a specific drying/curing temperature. Hot-air dryers use heated air blown over the garments to transfer the heat. Let's look into the factors that set these two dryer designs apart and discuss the advantages, versatility, and possible limitations of each.
The infrared dryer
The Infrared, or IR, dryer uses electrically heated infrared panels mounted above the conveyor belt in a heat-insulated cover. As the printed garment passes under the IR panels, the radiated heat is absorbed by the ink and heated up to curing temperature. The drying temperature is regulated by the electric power to the element and/or by adjusting the height of the IR panels above the conveyor. The conveyor speed is also adjustable to set the correct drying time. The IR dryer is, by its nature, compact and simple in its design with few moving parts and is consequently a relatively inexpensive investment.
Ink considerations Water-based inks typically do not work well in an IR dryer because the dryer lacks airflow needed to drive out the water from the ink for a proper cure. Some infrared dryers use special IR panels with a small air-circulation fan that creates a moderate airflow to assist in drying. The drying capacity is reduced because water-based inks have a 50-100% longer drying time. The water must be driven out of the garment first before the ink can be heated to the final curing temperature.
Variations in drying temperature Due to the direct heat radiation, the drying temperature can be difficult to control and, therefore, may vary depending of what type of garment is used and the thickness of the print. Always test various dryer settings for best results each time you use any new type of garment or ink for the first time. This will minimize the risk of scorching the garment or under/over curing the ink.

It has become common to find a convenience store that also sells gas. These data describe the sales over time at a franchise outlet of a major U.S. oil company. Each row summarizes sales for one day. This particular station sells gas, and it also has a convenience store and a car wash. The column labeled Sales gives the dollar sales of the convenience store, and the column Volume gives the number of gallons of gas sold. Formulate the regression model with dollar sales as the response and number of gallons sold as the predictor. When checking the conditions for using the SRM, remember that these data are sequential.
(a) Give a confidence interval for the difference in average sales in the convenience store between days on which the station sells 2,000 gallons of gas and those on which the station sells 3,000 gallons.
(b) Is $1,800 an unusually low level of sales in the convenience store on a day that the pumps record having sold 3,000 gallons?

Education Equity Fund
Why does Philadelphia need an Education Equity Fund?
PILOTs aren't taxes–they're voluntary payments. There's no requirement for where the funds are directed. This means that it's up to us to make sure that when our city's wealthiest institutions pay their fair share, that money directly meets the needs of our students, not the priorities of outside institutions.
In other cities, mega-nonprofits have tried to "dictate what their money goes toward." Here in Philly, we know what it looks like when mega-nonprofits call the shots. In our May 5th Speak Out, we heard from Philadelphians who have been directly impacted by our School District's funding crisis. Nonprofit-driven initiatives never make up for a lack of basic necessities–teachers, textbooks, nurses, counselors, libraries, and safe and healthy school buildings.
As we fight for a more equitably funded public education system in Philadelphia, the last thing we need is a closed-door deal that gives the wealthiest institutions total control over funding for our schools.
Philadelphia needs a PILOT agreement that meets the most essential needs of our most vulnerable public school students. This means that we need Mayor Kenney to establish an Education Equity Fund for our city's mega-nonprofits to pay into via PILOTs. A publicly administered fund that directly serves the School District will be the best way to establish accountability and transparency for a stable, sustainable PILOT agreement.

TTI Study Finds Arsenic and Lead in Imported Glass Beads
The American Glass Bead Manufacturers' Association, which sponsored the study, is urging states and the U.S. government to limit heavy metal levels in glass beads used for highway markings.
A recent study sponsored by the American Glass Bead Manufacturers' Association says that a growing number of imported glass bead products for highway markings have high concentrations of heavy metals, including arsenic and lead.
The findings of the study, which was conducted by Texas A&M University's Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), were presented last month at the American Traffic Safety Services Association's 41st Annual Convention and Traffic Expo in Phoenix, Ariz.
The TTI study showed that imported glass beads had extremely high levels of arsenic and lead and were susceptible to rapid leaching with exposure to water. The high levels of heavy metal substances pose a hazard to highway worker safety and are an environmental threat, in terms of runoff into the soil, surface water, and drinking water, according to the association.
The trade group notes that glass beads manufactured by companies in emerging nations, particularly China, continue to use glass made from old glass-making techniques that require chemical modification, resulting in products containing high levels of arsenic and lead. U.S. producers use such materials as recycled flat glass to make glass beads, which do not contain high levels of arsenic and lead. These products are primarily used for highway safety markings, providing the light-reflective lane markings found on highways around the world.
"These findings are consistent with results from a recent New Jersey Institute of Technology/Rowan University study and also confirm what our membership has known to be true for some time," said Robert McClune, association president. "It's time for state and federal transportation officials and lawmakers to act and establish a federal standard for engineered glass beads in highway markings and prevent these hazardous substances from being applied to our roads and highways," he said.
Such a bill was introduced Feb. 15 by U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster. The Safe Highway Markings Act of 2011prescribes standards for glass beads used in pavement markings, limiting the arsenic or lead content to 200 parts per million. The bill, which has been sent to the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, also requires the Secretary of Transportation to withhold up to 5 percent of the apportionment of federal-aid highway funds for any state that fails to enforce requirements to ensure that glass beads used in pavement markings on or along federal-aid highway roads or highways do not contain more than 200 parts per million arsenic or lead.
Setting a heavy metals standard for glass beads has gained strong support from environmental groups like the Sierra Club, state and federal lawmakers, and unions like the International Union of Operating Engineers, according to the association. Nineteen states have adopted laws or regulations that require the use of non-toxic materials in the production of glass beads for highway markings. This same issue is gaining traction globally with the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and several Canadian provinces. China has also set strict heavy metal standards for internal use but continues to export contaminated glass bead products to other nations, according to the association.
Based in Valley Forge, Pa., the association was established in 1991 and represents a majority of the glass bead manufacturing base in the United States. The trade group works toward the betterment of the industry and is involved in programs to expand and improve highway safety. For more information, call _PHONE_.

How to Find Leaks in an Above Ground Pool Liner
It's frustrating to notice the water level going down in your pool when you cannot find the exact location of the leak. It can take some detective work to pinpoint it, but this is a necessary step before you can make repairs. By following the steps below, and working your way from the easiest method to the most complex, you will be able to find the leak so you can fix it and enjoy your pool again.
If your pool is on the lawn, search around it for any patches of grass that appear to be greener than the surrounding grass. This can help you locate the general area of the leak. The water may be coming out in a great enough quantity to provide extra water for a particular patch on your lawn.

If your pool is on sand or dirt, check around the perimeter for any soaked areas. You may also notice a crater-like area where water from the leak has been collecting.
Wait until a quiet time of day, then use a rubber hose to listen for the leak in the area. Hopefully the previous two steps have helped you narrow down its probable location. Listening can be accomplished by filling the hose with water, plugging both ends, then putting one end against your ear. Use the other end to probe the liner in the area where you suspect the leak is located. Even a small leak often makes a detectable sound.
How to Level Ground for a Swing Set
Learn More
If the sound has gotten you closer to the leak but still has not revealed its exact location, swim to the bottom of the pool with a bottle of brightly hued food coloring. Squeeze out a small amount in the suspect area. If you are close enough, the dye should be drawn toward the hole in the liner. You can also buy special products that contain dye made especially for pool leak detection.
If you are unable to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. add a leak seal product to the pool water. Since the leak is too small to be easily found, it is probably small enough to be sealed by the product.
Sometimes pool owners mistake normal evaporation for a leak in the liner. To discover whether you actually have a leak, fill a five-gallon bucket with water and put it on the first or second step of the ladder. Position it so it's only a few inches out of the water. Adjust the water level in the bucket to be level with the pool. Mark the water level inside the bucket and outside, then leave it in the pool for 24 hours. If the water level in the pool has gone down more rapidly than that in the bucket, there is a leak.

Kent County Median Household Income
Kent County
Change Location...
Household income in Kent County—not to be confused with an individual's income—is defined by the Census Bureau as the sum of income generated by all the people over 15 years old who occupy a housing unit, such as a house or an apartment. A family is a type of household. A person living alone in a housing unit is also a household. In addition, households may be composed of unrelated people living together, like partners or roommates.
Every year, the Census Bureau contacts over 3.5 million households across the country to participate in the American Community Survey (ACS). For locations with populations under 60,000, the ACS is only available in 5-year estimates, rather than single-year periods. The 5-year estimates provide greater geographical granularity but a less granular time period.

Production Lighting: How To Do Low Key Lighting
Low key lighting is a style of lighting that is commonly used by photographers and filmographers. Generally speaking, most people set up low key lighting so that they can achieve the chiaroscuro effect. With the chiaroscuro effect, you are looking for bold differences between light and dark colors. Low key lighting has a lighting ratio of approximately 8 to 1. As the lighting ratio increases, so does the contrast of the image. In comparison, high key lighting can have a lighting ratio that is as low as 1 to 1.
The standard method of lighting that most photographers use is three point lighting. With three point lighting, you are using a key light, a back light and a fill light. The goal of three point lighting is to achieve even illumination. Low key lighting is the exact opposite of three point lighting. Low key lighting only requires the use of a single key light. You are not looking for even illumination with low key lighting. Instead, you want a lightly colored subject to stand out in front of a dark background.
Step 1: Setting Up the Background
You cannot use a light background for low key lighting. When it comes to low key lighting, the darker the background is, the better. It is not a must that you use a black background, but it is highly recommended. If you cannot use a black background, a very dark blue one will work.
Step 2: Staging the Subject
The subject of your photograph should be wearing dark clothing. If possible, it is best if the clothing that the subject is wearing is the same color as the background. The goal of low key lighting is not to place an emphasis on the attire of your subject. Instead, you want to place an emphasis on the face or body part of your subject.
Step 3: Setting up the Key Light
In order to ensure maximal results when setting up low key lighting, you should place your key light to either side of the subject you are photographing. You should begin by setting up your key light in a 45 degree setup. A 45 degree setup requires the key light to be placed 45 degrees to the face of your subject. The key light should be placed slightly above the head of your subject. By placing the key light to the side of your subject, you will be preventing the background from lightening up.
Once you set your key light up, take a look to see if any adjustments need to be made. If you need the background to appear darker in your images, you can move the key light further away from your subject. You just need to make sure that the light remains on the edge of your subject. Once you have the key light configured correctly, you are ready to begin taking shots with low key lighting.

There is limited evidence on physical activity patterns among Hispanic adolescents in Puerto Rico. This restricts opportunities to implement effective interventions and policies to increase physical activity in schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the physical activity behaviors of adolescents attending middle and high schools in Puerto Rico based on a compendium of moderate to vigorous physical activities including walking, jogging or running, bicycling, sports and more. A secondary purpose was to examine group differences as a function of gender and school level.
A cross-sectional survey research design was used. Students (N = 637) attending public middle and high schools completed a Visual 7-Day Physical Activity Recall survey. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted to describe the sample and to determine group differences.
Puerto Rican adolescents' levels of physical activity decreased throughout the week. Only a small proportion of them reached at least 60 minutes everyday of the week. Differences were found between middle and high school students' daily and weekly participation in physical activities.
Most adolescents do not engage in sufficient physical activity.
Implications of the results are discussed and recommendations are articulated for policy makers, educators, and other professionals.

A transect is a path along which one counts and records occurrences of the phenomena of study (e.g. plants).
It requires an observer to move along a fixed path and to count occurrences along the path and, at the same time (in some procedures), obtain the distance of the object from the path. This results in an estimate of the area covered and an estimate of the way in which detectability increases from probability 0 (far from the path) towards 1 (near the path). Using the raw count and this probability function, one can arrive at an estimate of the actual density of objects.
The estimation of the abundance of populations (such as terrestrial mammal species) can be achieved using a number of different types of transect methods, such as strip transects, line transects, belt transects, point transects and curved line transects.
New Urbanist town planners use the term transect to refer to the continuum of land uses from an urban core to a rural boundary. General New Urban transect classifications (from highest to lowest density) are: urban core, urban centre, general urban, suburban, rural, and natural.

Blending Facial Expressions with the Face Puppet Panel
By layering unique facial expressions to an auto motion project, the Face Puppet tool gives you the freedom to add any specific facial feature animations including blinking of the eyes, a slight smile, or creating a full-face expression for your actor.
Blending Facial Expressions from the Library
 1. Make sure the actor has been applied with a voice with either idle or auto motion.
 2. Go to the time frame where you want to blend custom facial expressions to the existing motion.
 3. Click the Face Puppet button on the tool bar.
 4. Make sure that the Blend data on next recording checkbox is activated.
 5. Use the Full Face Control Puppeteering method; or alternatively, use the Solo Feature Selection Puppeteering methods to record and blend a new facial expression.
 6. Repeat the steps to do the multi-layer recording.
 7. After the recording, the entire motion clip replaces the auto motion in a duration. The result in the motion clip takes effect even if you apply any other auto motion to the actor.

Try something like this:
ocmd.Parameters.Add("ListOfInts", String.Join(",",myList.ToArray());
The String.Join method takes all elements in an array and places the specified character between them.

Why was this accepted as the answer? You can't really do it this way. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:20
His question: How can I provide the comma separated list of ints... How does this not answer his question? – Abe Miessler Jan 3 at 21:23
Because the correct answer is: It can't be done this way! You can't provide a single parameter that will work in an IN clause with a string parameter. A table-valued parameter might work, a string parameter will not work. Now, I understand that you answered the question that was asked, but my point is that you need to answer the question that was implied: how to make this work. Answer: It can't. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 23:12
Alright, fair enough. – Abe Miessler Jan 3 at 23:17

You can't, you have to create some helper function that replaces :ListOfInts with ( for example ) :I0,:I1,:I2... and pass the parameter by adding one by one in code. The function you want is gracefully emulated by Dapper.Net in its list support.
share|improve this answer
This answer is correct, as opposed to the accepted one and other 3-upvoted one. You can of course use a bunch of parameters, and inject those, basically getting an SQL like where id in (_USER_, _USER_, _USER_,...). Also there are Table-valued parameters now, but I don't know if/how they can be leveraged to actually use 1 parameter to specify the list of "IN"-values to match against. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:26
add comment
Use the Join method of string on the Array of Ints. You can mention comma as the seperator
List ints = new List();
string concatenatedIds= string.Join(",", ints.ToArray());
The output (value in concatenatedIds) will be 4,6,2. You can use that string as the parameter value for your IN clause
share|improve this answer
While this will add a parameter just fine, it will not work with an in (_USER_) clause in the SQL. Parameters doesn't work that way. Wishful thinking, I know, but no. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:27
add comment
I think the only possible solution is to pass comma-separated values, which you can convert to a table in SQL using a function. Here is the function I am using
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.CSVToList (_USER_ varchar(3000))
 RETURNS _USER_ TABLE (Value varchar(30))
 Value varchar(30)
 _USER_ varchar(30),
 _USER_ int
 SET _USER_ = LTRIM(RTRIM(_USER_))+ ','
 SET _USER_ = CHARINDEX(',', _USER_, 1)
 IF REPLACE(_USER_, ',', '') <> ''
 WHILE _USER_ > 0
 SET _USER_ = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(_USER_, _USER_ - 1)))
 IF _USER_ <> ''
 INSERT INTO _USER_ (Value) VALUES (_USER_)
 SET _USER_ = RIGHT(_USER_, LEN(_USER_) - _USER_)
 INSERT _USER_
and you can use the following code (for example) to perform operations:
DECLARE _USER_ varchar(100)
SET _USER_ = '30,32,34,36,40'
 ProductID IN (SELECT * FROM dbo.CSVToLIst(_USER_))
I took the code from here: _URL_
Hope it helps.

I forgot to say that you have to use the String.join method to aggregate all values and then pass them as parameters to the SQL code. – Umar Jamil Jul 16 '12 at 16:14

The best way to handle this is to keep the list in the database, such that you could write a select query to return the values in your list. The question is, how can you do this when the data originates at the client? Most of the time, this data is hand-picked by the user, one record at a time. In that case, you can use a table (think: "shopping cart") that adds records for the values one at a time, as the user selects them. If it's more of a batch job, you may want to use a BulkInsert process to create the records.

You don't state which database you are using, but if it is SQL Server 2008+ you may also want to consider Table Valued Parameters.
For your example the added complexity may not be worthwhile, but they can be useful in other scenarios.

Your Answer


During a full switch deployment, the SwitchableLocalFileSystem must delete all file assets from the target site's inactive directory before updated content can be deployed from ATG Content Administration. On a large site, the deletion process can significantly delay updates to the live site. You can optimize deployment by configuring the SwitchableLocalFileSystem to enable background deletion: when switch deployment begins, the VFS simply moves the current inactive directory to a temporary directory and proceeds with deployment. Separately, it launches another thread that is responsible for physically removing files from the temporary directory—which it typically defers until system resources are more plentiful.
Note: By default, full deployment of file system assets is optimized through checksum verification, which minimizes disk reads and writes (see Cache Checksums for File Assets). This is usually faster than full deployment with background deletion, where checksum verification is disabled (see Requirements and Constraints), so all files eventually must be physically removed from disk. In general, full deployment with background deletion is appropriate when you must purge a target site of all file system assets.
Three SwitchableLocalFileSystem properties enable background deletion and control its behavior:
Requirements and Constraints
The following requirements and constraints apply to background deletion of file system assets:

Fish Farm 1 Design
The Fish Farm problem is designed to have students apply the concepts of ratio and equivalent ratio to distribute a set number of male and female fish into three ponds. Each pond has a target ratio of male-to-female fish. As the students move fish from the tank into the individual ponds, the numerical and graphical displays of the current numbers of male and female fish will change.
For their birthday, the Carp triplets received 26 tropical fish: 13 females and 13 males. They discussed ways to divide the fish among their three tiny backyard ponds. Angel said, "I want the same number of male and female fish in my pond." "Okay," said Molly. "I want three times as many males as females in my pond." "Then I want twice as many females as males in my pond," Gar replied. Is there a way to put all 26 fish into those three ponds, while giving each triplet what he or she wants? Use the applet to explore this question.
Questions / Explorations
- How many male fish and female fish does each triplet get in his or her pond? Describe the work you did to find the solution. (Sample questions you can answer: Into which pond did you put fish first? How many fish of each kind went into that pond? Why? What was your next step? How were you sure a pond had the correct ratio?)
- Given the 13 males and 13 females, what are ALL the possible numbers of male and female fish that would satisfy the ratio of 1 male to 2 female fish in Gar's pond? Explain why these different amounts are equivalent to the ratio 1:2.
- Explain why all possible answers in question 2 result in the same pie graph for Gar's pond.
- Find a different way to distribute all 26 fish among the three ponds in the correct ratios.
- Distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 female fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 male fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Review the concept of ratios in the form a:b.
- Print out the matching tasks from the Web page All About Ratios by Cynthia Lanius. Have students work in small groups to discuss these tasks and make convincing arguments about their answers.
- Have students discuss how to represent the ratio 2:3 in a circle graph.
- Have students find a DIFFERENT way to distribute all 26 fish among the three ponds.
- Have students distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 female fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Have students distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 male fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Encourage students to develop a procedure and justification for determining whether two ratios are equivalent.
The pre-activity should help students begin to think about the concept of equivalent ratios, and how a ratio might be represented in a circle graph. The post-activity is an extension of the original problem, and should give students more opportunities to experience creating equivalent ratios in both numerical and graphical form.
- understand patterns, relations, and functions
- use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships

text: The development of complex and dependable systems like autonomous vehicles relies increasingly on the use of systems modeling language (SysML). In fact, SysML has become a de facto standard for systems engineering. With model-driven engineering, a SysML model serves as a reference for the early defect detection of the system under design: the earlier the errors are detected, the less is the cost of handling the errors. Mutation testing is a fault-based technique that has recently seen its applications to SysML behavioral models (e.g., state machine diagrams). Specifically, a system's state-transition design can be fed to a model checker where mutants are automatically generated and then killed against the desired design specifications (e.g., safety properties). In this paper, we present a novel approach based on process mining to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the SysML mutation testing based on model checking. In our approach, the mutation operators are applied directly to the state machine diagram. These mutants are then fed as traces into a process mining tool and checked according to the event logs. Our initial results indicates that the process mining approach kills more mutants faster than the model checking method.

Atmospheric corrosion of historical organ pipes: The influence of environment and materials
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2008
The corrosion of lead-rich pipes in historical organs in different parts of Europe has been investigated. The influence of the environment and the composition and microstructure of the pipe metal was studied. Pipe Corrosion was documented by visual inspection (boroscope). The corrosion attack and the composition and microstructure of the metal were characterized by OM, SEM, XRD, IC and FAAS. It is shown that the degree of corrosion of the pipes is correlated to the concentration of gaseous acetic and formic acid in the organ. The organic acids are emitted by the wood from which the wind system is built. It is also shown that pipe corrosion decreases with increasing tin content in the range 0-4% (wt). Possible conservation strategies are discussed. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

How to choose the right solvent for cleaning scientific instrumentation
Measuring instruments are typically built to measure a wide range of samples. However, the measuring cell, hoses, and connections must be cleaned after measurement to keep the device in good working condition and make sure the measurement on the next sample delivers correct results.
Choosing the most suitable solvent to clean the measuring cell(s) of a scientific instrument depends on the sample or chemical which needs to be removed from the device. The aim of a cleaning procedure is to leave the measuring device ready to use for the next measurement or experiment.
If the measuring device has a sample changer, the cleaning program can be predefined to automatically use specific solvent combinations and drying times.
Before using a solvent for the cleaning task you need to consider:
 - The type of sample which needs to be removed from the measuring cell
 - Which type of solvent could be used
 - Which order to use the solvents in
Which type of sample needs to be removed from the measuring cell?
Samples have different properties and these properties determine the solubility of the sample in a solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on:
 - physical and chemical properties of the solute
 - physical and chemical properties of the solvent
 - temperature
 - pressure
 - pH of the solvent-solute solution[1]
Deciding which solvent is required to rinse out the sample follows the maxim: "Similia similibus solvuntur" (like dissolves like).
Types of solvent for cleaning scientific instrumentation
Solvents are chemicals. They can be used in their pure form or as mixtures consisting of different solvents. A solvent or cleaning agent can also simply be water mixed with some detergent.
Solvents can be classified into several categories according to their chemical structure and physical behavior[2].
To understand their behavior as cleaning agents, it is important to understand that solvents are either polar or non-polar.
What is a polar solvent?
A polar solvent is a solvent with a high polarity. The polarity of a substance affects its solubility. To determine a substance's polarity you can measure the dielectric constant. The higher the dielectric constant, the higher the polarity of the substance. Water is a polar solvent, which is indicated by its high dielectric constant of 88 (at 0 °C)[3]. Polar solvents are most suitable for dissolving polar samples.
Common polar solvents:
What is a non-polar solvent?
Solvents with a dielectric constant of less than 15 are generally considered to be non-polar[4][5]. Non-polar solvents are most suitable for dissolving non-polar samples.
Common non-polar solvents:
What is a solvent mixture?
Solvent mixtures can have several attributes. They can be polar and non-polar as well at the same time. This ambivalence often helps to dissolve tricky samples easily.[6]
A good example is the ternary mixture used for cleaning in-service oils. Dissolving in-service oils is tricky because the sample itself is a combination of soot, oil, and impurities such as water. Therefore, the solvent requires something to dissolve the oil, something to take out the water, and something so clean the soot. Further, the solvent needs a boiling point higher than 100 °C and lower than 200 °C.
 - To clean the soot > diesel
 - To clean the water > toluene (because toluene and water together make a perfect azeotrope)
 - To clean the oil > also toluene
 - To achieve the boiling point > n-butanol.
 - The perfect ratio is: toluene: diesel: n-butanol = 1:1:1
Read more about the application of this ternary mixture.
Using the right solvents in the right order
Often it is necessary to use more than one solvent, e.g. the first solvent dissolves the sample in the measuring cell and allows it to be removed easily. The second solvent rinses the first solvent out of the cell and facilitates quick drying.
Properties of the first solvent
The first solvent should dissolve the samples completely. This means that the solubility of the sample in the first solvent has to be very high. For example, samples that contain mainly alcohol can be dissolved in water or in more alcohol such as ethanol. Samples that contain fats, such as creams, can easily be dissolved in the solvent naphtha or white spirit. The easiest way to identify the type of solvent that is suitable for the sample to be diluted in is to perform a test as follows:
 1. Take a small amount of sample and put it into a glass vial
 2. Pour the solvent onto it
 3. Observe whether the solvent dissolves the sample within an acceptable period of time.
If the sample aggregates in the solvent, then the solvent is unsuitable.
If the sample starts to dissolve and homogenize in the solvent, then this was a good choice for the sample.
Properties of the second solvent
For the second solvent, it is recommended to choose a solvent that helps to reduce the drying time of the measuring device. Usually this type of solvent has a very low boiling point such as acetone or ethanol. It is also advised to choose a solvent that is not harmful and widely available.
In rare cases it is recommended to use a third solvent as well. In this case, the third solvent should also enhance the cleaning function.
The following table gives an overview about combinations of solvents and samples.
Table 1: Overview of samples and suitable solvents
Suitable solvent for cleaning
Solvent for drying
Alcohols, such as liqueurs and wines, or beer
Soluble in water and/or in ethanol
Ethanol or acetone
The sample has polar properties and is soluble in a typically polar solvent.
Honey and sugary solutions, maple syrup
Soluble in warm water
Ethanol, due to the fact that acetone is typically not allowed in food industry
Sugar dissolves in water better than in alcohol, and if heat is applied as well, then the process can be enhanced.
Waxes of biological or artificial origin
Soluble in non-polar organic solvent such as toluene, xylene, or in a warmed oil (the oil can be a low-viscosity base oil)
Cleaners naphta with a low boiling point or isopropyl alcohol
Waxes are insoluble in water and usually solid; therefore heat is needed to melt them and to properly dilute them in a solvent.
Polymers (for plastics)
Soluble in acids or organic solvent. Highly recommended as the second solvent.
Ethanol only! Ethanol quenches the organic solvent.
Polymer solutions typically aggregate in water; therefore it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's recommendations according to these samples.
Soluble in acetone and ethanol
The sample and solvent have very similar polarity. This behavior is utilized to produce eau de colognes.
Oily flavors
Soluble in acetone and white spirit
Lipophilic samples need non-polar solvents; otherwise they would form suspensions or two-phase systems.
In-service engine oils
Ternary mixture of toluene, diesel, and n-butanol (1:1:1)
Cleaner's naphtha or ethanol
The sample and the sample matrix need special cleaning conditions. Soot is cleaned out with diesel, toluene takes the oil, and the alcohol is responsible for the optimal boiling point
Crude oils
Toluene and/or xylene, either pure or as a mixture
Some cleaner's naphtha
Toluene and xylene are aromatic solvents with a high boiling point and optimal to clean sticky crude oil.
Organic resin
DMSO dissolves many organic compounds easily but it has a boiling point higher than 150 °C. Therefore, ethanol as the second solvent will help to reduce the drying time
Milk or dairy products
Water and some enzymes. Fat-dissolving enzyme solution such as tetrazyme.
Milk or dairy products are water-fat emulsions and they have a natural origin. Therefore, an enzymatic solution is necessary to remove the lipids from the system and ethanol to dry it and carry out a disinfection.
Liquid soap
Water and/or acetone. Water as a pure solvent or as a mixture with the acetone.
Water dissolves liquid soap but also leads to foam. Therefore, the acetone is needed to break the foam and to improve the water's washing ability.

Cedar Hedges
Have large cedar hedge close to 8 ft. tall. We would like to replace three of the trees in the middle of the run. How would this be done? Would it be harmful to the other trees to the side of them and what size would the roots be? I can see close to the surface there is a spread out mass of roots, but how deep does this go? We are in Oakville, good soil, full sun, and we water. Thanks.
Thank you for contacting the Toronto Master Gardeners with your question.
8 foot cedars in the middle of a run can be replaced with minimal damage to surrounding members but it also depends on how many roots can remain undamaged. Usually cedars of this size in a maintained hedge refrain from growing thicker lateral roots which spread out into neighboring cedars. They tend to have more fibrous surface roots and some thicker roots going deeper. This is the norm but also depends on soil conditions and how many year the cedars have existed there. If they have been there more than 3 years, you will likely have to dig down 3 to 4 feet for removal, and may have roots as thick as 4 inches in diameter.
If you are digging up a neighboring cedar, you would want to avoid digging and disturbing roots under the 'drip line' of the neighbor that you want to retain. So as you are digging and you find root that might travel out from the cedar you are removing into the drip line space of the neighbor, then use a lopper or pruner to cut the roots off, rather than digging into the space of the neighbor.
Also sometimes it is a good idea to gently tie up the surrounding tree you want to protect from wielding digging tools with a twine or burlap.
Here is some general information on growing healthy cedars from a few of our earlier posts:
Watering deeply and thoroughly (at least once or twice a week after planting, especially in these hot summer conditions) is key so that your cedars' roots can take hold and spread. This is much more effective than frequent spraying or light watering, and can be done easily by using a soaker hose along the base of the cedars for several hours to ensure that the moisture reaches into the roots of the plant. Watering should continue well into the autumn until the ground is frozen to maintain adequate moisture through the winter. Cold winter winds can desiccate the foliage – once the ground is frozen, your cedars cannot take up moisture to replace what is lost from their foliage.
Deep, thorough watering can also help the roots in the root ball to separate and penetrate into the soil after planting: plants that have been in their containers for some time can often be root bound – that is, their roots circle around the pot and are quite tightly packed. If you did not loosen, tease out, or separate the roots somewhat before planting, your cedars may be experiencing some stress as the roots move into the garden soil.
Fertilizing the hedge with a 30-10-10 formulation three times in the growing season (May, June and July) is appropriate. It is very important to follow exactly the directions for applying fertilizers so that they are absorbed into the soil and are able to reach the plant's roots. Don't fertilize in late summer as the hedge needs to prepare to go dormant for the winter.
Using a mulch over the roots ensuring that the mulch is kept at least 3 inches away from the trunk. This will help maintain a consistent level of moisture for root survival.
Good luck with your removals and replacements.

Our question this week was: Why do some puppies have their tails cut off
Tail docking is the surgical removal of part of the tail. This procedure is most often performed in healthy puppies
between 2 to 5 days of age.
A similar procedure may be performed in older pets, but this is considered a tail amputation, not a tail dock.
Tail docking is most often performed in puppies to prevent tail damage in certain breeds, for hygiene reasons and to comply with specific breed standards.
Here is an article that gives more information on how it is done: Tail docking

For a transaction to take place between a client and a server, a conversation must be established. A conversation is established when a client makes a request by broadcasting a service name and topic name, and a server responds. Transactions can then take place across the conversation. When no more transactions are to be made, the conversation is terminated.
The following list identifies the elements involved with client/server activity:
A conversation is established when a server responds to a client.
A service name is a string broadcast by a client hoping to establish a conversation with a server that recognizes the service name. The service name is usually clearly related to the server application name.
The topic name identifies what the conversation between client and server is to be about. For example, it could be the name of a file that is open in the server application. Each topic is attached to one particular server. A server can have many topics.
The item usually identifies an element of the file identified by the topic which should be read (in the case of a request) or written to (in the case of a poke). For example, it might refer to a cell in a spreadsheet document.

Photo: uScore Netball
1. What is the best way to teach netta juniors how to shoot?
A fun netball drill to teach young ones how to shoot, involves using the popular B.E.E.F. acronym. Start by teaching the actions first without the ball and then, once they have mastered the steps add the ball.
B is for balance
Feet are shoulder width apart. You might like to use a visual aid on the ground to encourage players to spread their feet should width apart. And always ensure that the feet are pointing to the post – many will have pigeon toes pointing in or out.
E is for eyes
They should imagine there is a witches hat sitting above the ring and aim for the point of the hat so the ball DROPS through the ring.
E is for elbow
Ensure that the arm is extended close to the ear with the elbow facing the ring. When the ball is taken back before releasing the ball, the elbow must remain facing the ring and not move out to the side. This ensures accuracy of the shot always. You can use the analogy that the straight arm holding the ball is up against the ear to block out all the yelling.
F is for follow through
Encourage a small flick of the wrist to "say goodbye" to the ball or "knock the fairy."
2. How to teach netball positions to players who have never played before
Play a game that involves players running to different positions on the court when you call them out. After that, play a game that is "Find Your Position." Games like these will help them to learn the positions and areas of the court.
3. How to teach young players not to step
If you find that there are players who constantly step during a game, check their balance. It might be a sign that they haven't properly learnt how to ground their landing foot. Netball Drills which involve learning to catch the ball in the air, land, rebalance and then pass are worth doing and should be done slowly and methodically at first until the technique is firmly entrenched in their minds.
For younger players, the ICE-CREAM technique is fun and effective but first, start without the ball and get the kids to practice their feet.
Get your players to line up along the base line and ask them to run and when you blow the whistle, they have to give a low leaping jump (just as if they're leaping over a puddle) and land on one foot with knees slightly bent. The players must call out "ICE" when they land the grounded foot. Then, the kids must pivot on the grounded foot "ICE" and say "CREAM." This will help to reinforce that the first foot is the one to stay on the ground.
Do this a few times, then once this has been mastered, give the players a ball to practice with – have them gently throw it into the air and catch it – concentrating on what their feet were doing and saying "ICE CREAM" to match their feet.
4. How to teach basic pass and catch skills
Begin with small bean bags. Stand the players in a circle and pass a small bean bag to the player on their right hand side. Once that is done change directions, all the while encourage them to throw at chest height. Once they have mastered that introduce the ball and make sure the distance between the players when they pass isn't too big, get them to learn accuracy first to give them time to develop strength in their passing.
5. How to teach basic movement
Have all players stand on the base line. As coach, stand in the middle of the court facing the team. Call out instructions for what movement you want the players to do (e.g. run left, right, jump, forward, back or down – touch the ground).
6. How to stop over crowding
Young players like to run for the ball like sea gulls to hot chips so to avoid over crowding teach the team a "clear out" drill. When this is called, players need to look around and spread out (find their own space). Once they have space between them and the one with the ball, they need to take run in for the pass when their name is called by the one with the ball.
7. How to help prevent players passing to the other team
Young players have a lot to remember in their first few games of netball so be patient and encouraging.
For the Netta juniors, at training put half the team in bibs & other half not. One at a time get a team member to stand about 5 metres away from the team. They must be holding the ball ready to pass with their back to the rest of the team. Mean while the rest of the team is moving back and forth (left & right) about 5 metres away. The person with the ball turns (on a signal) to pass the ball to someone in a bib (or without, your call). This is repeated 5 times for each team member or those with the problem. Please note, no effort should be made by others to block the ball at this stage. Doing this at practice and then shortly before the game can help them remember.
You should also encourage some communication on court – ask that the players call each others names out before they pass.
8. How to teach netta players how to defend
Try the "shadow defending drill." This is where 2 players stand together facing each other, one player is to make the moves while the other player is to copy the movement. Once they have gotten used to this, change it up and have both players face the same direction.
The one in front will remain as the shadow while the one behind will be the mover. This builds defending skills for following their opposition players on court and to stay in a front as a defending position using their peripheral vision to follow opposition player.
We hope you find these 8 netball drills useful. Feel free to sign up for our newsletter below for more great tips!

On the number of essential arguments of homomorphisms between products of median algebras
- 19 Downloads
In this paper we characterize classes of median-homomorphisms between products of median algebras, that depend on a given number of arguments, by means of necessary and sufficent conditions that rely on the underlying algebraic and on the underlying order structure of median algebras. In particular, we show that a median-homomorphism that take values in a median algebra that does not contain a subalgebra isomorphic to the m-dimensional Boolean algebra as a subalgebra cannot depend on more than \(m-1\) arguments. In view of this result, we also characterize the latter class of median algebras. We also discuss extensions of our framework on homomorphisms over median algebras to wider classes of algebras.

The answer depends upon what type of Context Diagram you are referring to.
This diagram is the highest level view of a system.
 - IDEF0 Top Level Context Diagrams have a single top-level context diagram and then have optional 'child' diagrams below that. So the answer here would be "Yes."
The IDEF0 process starts with the identification of the prime function to be decomposed. This function is identified on a "Top Level Context Diagram," that defines the scope of the particular IDEF0 analysis.... From this diagram lower-level diagrams are generated.
