Japanese Fire-bellied Newt
Japanese fire-bellied newt has a red stomach; hence some call it red stomach newt. It is one of the endemic species of Japan. It lives in slow current water, swimming and tangling itself to water plants. Its breeding season is April to July. The tail of the male turns bluish purple. The male makes his tail form of "S" and shake it in front of the female when courting. The female lays each egg in folded water plants.
When fire-bellied newts hatch, its gills are on the outside. During this period, it lives underwater but as it learns to breathe with its lungs, it gradually comes up on land. Until it becomes an adult, it only lives on land.
Fire-bellied newts can be found all over Kagoshima. On AmamiOshima you can also find swordtail newts, a subspecies of fire-bellied newts.

Forsyth GIS Day 2011 & Geography Awareness Week
Posted on 10/31/2011
The National Geographic Society has sponsored Geography Awareness Week since 1987 to promote geographic literacy in schools, communities and organizations, with a focus on the education of children. GIS Day is held on the Wednesday during Geography Awareness Week.
Geography touches everyone's life in some way; nearly anything you can think of has some geographical component. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools that allow us to better understand, interpret and visualize patterns, relationships and trends in data by examining them geographically.
You may not realize it, but chances are you use or benefit from GIS every day. If you've ever gotten directions to a new restaurant online, or used the GPS in your car or on your smartphone to get there, then you've had experience with GIS. From these simple applications to complex systems of transportation logistics, watershed modeling and emergency response, GIS has become an integral part of our lives.
The Forsyth Geographic Information Office was recently created to manage and coordinate the use of GIS by departments within the county and cities. We are inviting all to join us in this event – one of many celebrated across the globe – where GIS users from across the county and state will present examples of how they employ GIS.
Informational maps, posters and computer applications will be on display throughout the week, and on Wednesday the event's participants will be on-site to discuss, educate and enlighten.
Geography Awareness Week: November 14 – 18
Forsyth GIS Day 2011: Wednesday, November 16, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

I know that Sas starts with the observation at the top of a dataset when processing and proceeds to the next until it reaches the bottom observation, but is there an easy way to make sas process the bottom observation first and then work its way to the top?

You certainly can change your data to be in reverse order, then process top down. Add a variable to the data set which acts as an index..then sort the data set descending by that variable.
data work.myData ;
 set work.myData ;
 indx = _n_ ;
run ;
proc sort data=work.myData ;
 by descending indx ;

You can use nobs and point to process it backwards without having to do any intermediate steps. Here's an example:
data backwards;
 do k= nobs to 1 by -1;
 set sashelp.class nobs = nobs point=k;
proc print data=sashelp.class;run;
proc print data=backwards;run;

A crystal keyring with engraved 3D model, LED light - a crystal gift or a gadget.
100 Item Items
Warning: Last items in stock!
A crystal keyring (2*3*1.5 cm = 0.8*1.9*0.6")
As the keyring is pretty small, its project should not contain many elements. We recommend to choose 1 (or max. 2) elements, such as:
- a 3D model (e.g.: a 3D sport symbol, a ball, a 3D animal or a 3D musical instrument: a 3D violin, a 3D piano, a 3D guitar),
- a short text.
Such a keyring can be a great idea as:
- a gift for a husband or a boyfriend,
- a crystal sport gadget,
- a gift for a music teacher,
- a gadget for an employee,
- an event gadget, gala or a traid show.
It has a LED light button, so the engraving will be nicely illuminated, while pressing the button.
Each crystal keyring will be packed in a nice gift box.

Share PINTEREST Email Print Divers making a confined water dive in a swimming pool. © Getty Images The Great Outdoors Scuba Diving & Snorkeling Gear Skills Safety Hiking Climbing Skiing Snowboarding Surfing Paddling Fishing Sailing Learn More By Natalie Gibb Natalie Gibb owns a dive shop in Mexico and is a PADI-certified open water scuba instructor and TDI-certified full cave diving instructor. our editorial process Natalie Gibb Updated March 17, 2017 The term confined water is used to describe a dive site at which the environment is entirely predictable and controlled. This includes acceptable visibility for the planned dive, a calm surface and an absence of strong current. Confined water sites should have easy entry and exit points, and should not have any overhang or obstruction that prevents divers from directly reaching the surface. The most common example of a confined water dive site is a swimming pool. Other typical confined water locations include a calm bay, a lake or even a man-made quarry. Confined water sites are used for skill practice and training, for testing out new dive gear, or for novice divers who would like to play in an easy environment before heading to open water. A confined water dive most often refers to training dives with the express purpose of learning, practicing, and evaluating dive skills. The PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) open water course, for example, requires students to pass five confined water dives at a variety of depths. Initially, skills are practiced in water shallow enough to stand up in, and as the student progresses, skills are practiced in deeper water. Any dive made in confined water, however, can be technically considered a confined water dive.

Sakaguchi Test Definition
Sakaguchi test is a biochemical test consisting of colorimetric reaction for the detection and quantification of guanidinium groups, used as a qualitative test for arginine that is either free or in protein. The test was discovered by and named after the Japanese Food Scientist Shoyo Sakaguchi in 1925. Sakaguchi test is an example of color reactions or test that is performed for the detection of amino acids or proteins. The test is a specific test for arginine where the guanidinium group of arginine reacts with 1-naphthol or α-naphthol to produce a colored product. It is a qualitative test, and the quantification of arginine is hindered in this test due to the slow rate of color development and destruction of some guanidinium groups by the reagent.
Objective of Sakaguchi Test
- To detect the presence of arginine in either free form or in proteins.
Principle of Sakaguchi Test
Sakaguchi test is based on the principle of reaction between 1-naphthol and the guanidinium groups in arginine, in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The exact mechanism of the reaction is not yet known; however, the reaction results in the formation of a red-colored complex due to the formation of an indole-like structure. The Sakaguchi reagent consists of sodium hypobromite and 1-naphthol. The sodium hypobromite acts as an oxidizing agent that facilitates the hydrogen bonding between two arginine molecules.
Image Source: Zlir'a.
- Sakaguchi reagent: 1% 1-naphthol in alcohol with a few drops of 10% sodium hypobromite solution of bromine water.
- 40% NaOH
- Sample (0.1% of arginine or 0.1% of creatine)
- Test tubes
- Test tube stand
Procedure of Sakaguchi Test
- About 3 ml of the test solution is added in a test tube, to which 1 ml of 40% NaOH is added and mixed correctly.
- Then, two drops of 1-naphthol are added to the same test tube and mixed thoroughly.
- Now, 4-5 drops of the 10% sodium hypobromite or bromine water is added.
- The test tube is observed for the development of color.
Result and Interpretation of Sakaguchi Test
- Positive result: A positive result on the Sakaguchi's test is demonstrated by the formation of red color. This indicates the presence of an arginine or guanidinium compound.
- Negative result: A negative result in the Sakaguchi's test is demonstrated by the absence of red color. This indicates an absence of arginine or a guanidinium compound.
Uses of Sakaguchi Test
- Sakaguchi's Test is a biochemical test for the detection of arginine in the free or combined form in proteins.
- The test is qualitative but can be made quantitative by the addition of urea that stabilizes the colored product.
- Quantitative analysis of the colored product is not possible with this test as the rate of Sakaguchi's reaction is slow.
- Similarly, some of the guanidinium groups in the solution might be destroyed by the hypochlorite, resulting in difficulties in testing results.

science project: effect of aspirin on flowers

How much aspirin did you use? Did you do a control? You should try
putting flowers of the same type, cut at the same time, in equal amounts
of plain water (this is your control), and water with several different
concentrations of aspirin. Different concentrations may work differently
for different kinds of flowers. Too much aspirin may be worse than plain
water. Aspirin may be more or less effective depending on how fresh the
cut flowers are too.
If you design your experiment carefully, you should be able to draw
conclusions like "One aspirin per x amount of water makes (this kind
of) freshly cut flowers last n times as long without wilting than plain
water, but one aspirin per y amount of water is worse than no aspirin
in prolonging freshness".
It's usually a good idea to make a fresh cut before putting cut flowers
in water with or without additives, since the cut end seals up when it
dries, and the stem can't take in more fluid.

I have a generic N-ary expression tree and I want to convert the same to a binary tree. Is there any well defined algorithms to do the same?
I tried going thro' different algorithms of converting N-ary tree to expression tree like _URL_ but thats not going to work, as they don't worry about precedence and all.
share|improve this question
Can you expand on your requirements for the binary tree, vs the nary tree? Anything specific... or is your only requirement that children of a node, are simply still descendants of the same node? – ChrisCM Jun 4 '13 at 13:52

1 Answer
Simple answer.
Step 1: Convert N-ary expression tree with different levels of precedence into an N-ary tree where each node has only a single level of precedence.
Step 2: Convert that tree into a binary tree.
If you're seeking a straightforward solution rather than an efficient one, it may be easy to explode each node into levels matching your precedence, then after you have a binary tree collapse out the obviously useless nodes. If you want a more efficient solution, then you'll want to be more cautious in the initial expansion.

SAMPLE STATISTICS: mean sitting height (x bar)=92.8cm, size (n)=36 male students.
POPULATION STATISTIC: mean sitting height (µ)=91.4cm, standard deviation (σ)=3.6cm.
CLAIM: Mean sitting height is different from 91.4cm.
COUNTERCLAIM: Mean sitting height is 91.4cm.
SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL: ɑ=0.05 (95% confidence level)
Null hypothesis, H₀: µ=91.4 (counterclaim)
Alternative hypothesis, H₁: µ≠91.4 (claim)
This is a 2-tail test, because "not equals" means less than (left tail) or greater than (right tail), so the significance level is split equally between the two tails giving us the required confidence interval of 95%.
Z=(x bar-µ)/(σ/√n)=(92.8-91.4)/(3.6/√36)=1.4/0.6=2.333, corresponding to a P-value of 0.0098. The given test statistic is 0.0198.
ɑ/2=0.025 and sample P-value 0.0098<0.025, and 0.0198<0.025, which means that H₀ is rejected, and H₁ is accepted to be true. The conclusion is that the claim is true, that the mean sitting height of male students is different from 91.4cm.


The question is $x = \arctan\frac 23 + \arctan\frac 12$. What is $\tan(x)$?
I'm having trouble figuring out how to calculate the arctan values without a calculator, or do I not even need to find these values to calculate what $\tan(x)$ is? Any help is greatly appreciated (I would show some sort of work, but I am actually completely stuck).
I know that the range of arctan is restricted to $(–90^\circ, 90^\circ)$ or $(-\pi/2, \pi/2)$, but i'm not sure how this helps.
Below is a solution based on right triangles.
enter image description here
Note that $y=\arctan\frac{2}{3}$, and $z=\arctan\frac{1}{2}$. It follows that $x = y + z$.
The question is then: Calculate $\frac{b}{a}$.
Since $a^2 + c^2 = 4$ and $\frac{a}{c} = \frac{2}{3}$, it follows that $a^{2} = \frac{16}{13}$.
Since $a^2 + b^2 = 5$, it follows that $b^2 = \frac{49}{13}$.
Thus, $\frac{b}{a} = \frac{7}{4}$.
The take-away should be that sometimes going to a more basic line of thought can get you unstuck on a problem. Also, this gives some insight on how you can derive the tangent of sums formula.
Use the formula $\tan(a+b)=\frac{\tan(a)+\tan(b)}{1-\tan(a)\tan(b)}$
Let $A=\arctan\frac 23,B=\arctan\frac 12$.
Then, $$\tan x=\tan(A+B)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}=\frac{\frac 23+\frac 12}{1-\frac 23\cdot \frac 12}.$$

Cosmopolitanism and patriotism in Ghanaian hiplife lyrics
- Author(s): Garfinkel, David A.
- et al.
Ghanaian Hiplife is a musical style that emerged in the early 1990's, and has steadily gained popularity since. The music is a combination of Ghanaian Highlife--an early 20th century mix of both European and local traditions-- and American Hip Hop. As a musical hybrid, Hiplife often blurs the lines between the global and the local. Its recontextualization of Western synthesized beats with local languages and music traditions has created a music that in many ways represents the cosmopolitan. However, it often simultaneously symbolizes a sense of patriotism for the relatively young country, emphasizing local significance of ethnicity and location. Through the use of various languages--Akan languages, Pidgin English, and Hip-Hop Vernacular English--current Hiplife artists demonstrate a complex give and take between the cosmopolitan and the patriot

Analysis of ethnoveterinary treatments for cattle (Bos indicus) diseases referred in Sanrimgyeongje including twelve volumes of literature from the 7th to the 18th century.
ABSTRACT This study aims at a comprehensive analysis of ethnoveterinary treatment in the cattle-raising section of Sanrimgyeongje which covers 12 different volumes of literature including 4 Korean and 8 Chinese literatures from the 7th to the 18th century, with a special attention to the treatments for cattle diseases.
The above mentioned literature was analyzed through several steps: translation of the Chinese text into Korean, identification of diseases, verification of medicinal materials and confirmation of scientific names.
As recorded in the thirteen references, this study shows that there are 143 medicinal materials which have been used as therapies for cattle diseases. Of these, 55 plant species belonging to 52 genera in 29 families had 100 modes of usages, while one species of fungus was used in one way. Likewise, 11 species of animals belonging to 11 genera in 10 families were utilized in 18 different methods. Lastly, 9 kinds of inorganic matters were used in 11 ways with another 4 kinds being useful in 14 different ways. Consequently, each of rinderpests, murrains, and hooves has been treated, respectively with 14, 10 and 3 types of medicinal decoctions made from 35, 18 and 15 kinds of medicinal materials.
This diversified usage of various medicinal materials is incomparable to the modern ethnoveterinary investigation which tends to focus strictly in plants. If additional studies were to be conducted on these treatments and all the medicinal materials used within them, various new treatments and medicines can be developed to supplement the pharmacopoeia of contemporary veterinary medicine.

Hi guys,
So, we are making a project where we use 3 UV sensors.
We want to get the readings of 3 sensors connected together but we want the serial monitor to show only the readings of the highest intensity of the sensors. So whenever one of the sensor is been directed towards the sun we want only that sensor's readings to show up. And we are not sure how to make the 3 sensors all in one code
This is the original code of one sensor
//Hardware pin definitions
int UVOUT = A0; //Output from the sensor
int REF_3V3 = A1; //3.3V power on the Arduino board
void setup()
 pinMode(UVOUT, INPUT);
 pinMode(REF_3V3, INPUT);
 Serial.println("ML8511 example");
void loop()
 int uvLevel = averageAnalogRead(UVOUT);
 int refLevel = averageAnalogRead(REF_3V3);
 //Use the 3.3V power pin as a reference to get a very accurate output value from sensor
 float outputVoltage = 3.3 / refLevel * uvLevel;
 float uvIntensity = mapfloat(outputVoltage, 0.99, 2.8, 0.0, 15.0); //Convert the voltage to a UV intensity level
 Serial.print("output: ");
 Serial.print("ML8511 output: ");
 Serial.print(" / ML8511 voltage: ");
 Serial.print(" / UV Intensity (mW/cm^2): ");
//Takes an average of readings on a given pin
//Returns the average
int averageAnalogRead(int pinToRead)
 byte numberOfReadings = 8;
 unsigned int runningValue = 0;
 for(int x = 0 ; x < numberOfReadings ; x++)
 runningValue += analogRead(pinToRead);
 runningValue /= numberOfReadings;
//The Arduino Map function but for floats
//From: _URL_
This is the original code of the Sensor

This paper presents a flexible irregular model for heterogeneous cloud storage systems and investigates how the cost of repairing failed nodes can be minimized. The fractional repetition code, originally designed for minimizing repair bandwidth for homogeneous storage systems, is generalized to the irregular fractional repetition code, which is adaptable to heterogeneous environments. The code structure and the associated storage allocation can be obtained by solving an integer linear programming problem. For moderate sized networks, a heuristic algorithm is proposed and shown to be near-optimal by computer simulations.

- In general, okra is used much more as a condiment than as a sauce in itself.
- okra is in fact added to a sauce so that it isn't too runny, but sticks together well enough to stick to the boule.
- okra may be used for sauce preparation as much with vegetables as with meat, be it fresh or dried.
- When using fresh okra, we cut it into very small pieces, then we add it to the vegetables into boiling water.
- We wait until the two (okra, vegetables) are well-cooked before adding any condiments (salt, Peanut butter, Maggi soy sauce or bouillon cubes, piment (hot spice), etc.).
- Then one must leave the sauce on the fire for a few minutes before serving.
- When using dried okra, we grind it into powder and put a certain quantity (in general, a tablespoon per litre of water for making sauce) in at the same time as the other condiments.
- In rare cases, okra is prepared alone as a sauce in itself (for example, during the time between sowing the fields and harvest).
- In this case, the sauce is composed of water, salt and okra (fresh or dried), cooked together. The quantity of okra must be sufficient enough for the sauce to be a sauce and not simply water.


Segmenting the ring region around the nucleus
I'm measuring the ratio of NF-kB intensity in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, but would like to use the 'ring region' (around the nucleus) for the cytoplasm measure.
Currently, my pipeline is as follows:
 - IdentifyPrimaryObjects - segment nuclei using Hoechst stain
 - ExpandOrShrinkObjects - expand nuclei by 4px
 - IdentifyTertiaryObjects - subtract the nucleus region from the expanded region to obtain the ring region
The Problem
 - I would like to constrain the ring region within the boundaries of the cytoplasm. I am able to segment the cytoplasm but unsure how to crop the ring region/expand the nucleus region within the cytoplasm boundaries.
 - Note I am already able to calculate a nucleus to whole cytoplasm ratio but have found better readings in other image analysis software in using the ring region, due to large differences in cytoplasm shape between and within lines.
I very much appreciate any suggestions as I am new to Cell Profiler and keen to use it a lot more from now on! Thank you
Hi _USER_,
If you have the option to get your hands on a ZEN blue software, you can do exactly this by using the so-called Zone-of-Influence Segmenter.
 - select a segmenter to detect your primary object, e.g. the nucleus (use thresholds or machine-learning for this)
 - define the ZOI (yellow)
 - define the ring size and location
 - define what objects (and sub-objects) you want to detect inside the blue ring using thresholding or machine-learning segmentation

Hi _USER_,
Thank you very much for your response and for explaining how to do this in Zen blue. I'm currently able to do this analysis in Columbus (PerkinElmer) software but have switched to CellProfiler as I'm keen to use free open-source software. However, I'll happily take a look at Zen lite for the moment and hope to try out the full version if I ever have access to it! The ZOI tool seems very useful.
Hi _USER_,
Sure. CellProfiler is a very powerful tool, which can achieve the same.
Hi _USER_,
Your current pipeline approach is almost fine, but few changes is required to achieve your target as follows,
 1. Once you expand your nuclei, then use "Mask objects" to mask the expanded nuclei using segmented nuclei (Refer the attached screenshot). This would give you the ring.
 2. In the tertiary object module, get the cytoplamic region by subtracting the nucleus region from the cell boundary (hope you could do this by Identifysecondaryobject module)
 3. In the Measurement module use the ring object to measure intensity from the cytoplasmic channel.
Hope this helps. If not, please attach your pipeline with a sample image so that we could help you better.

Hi _USER_
Thank you very much for your very helpful answer. I'm sorry I don't understand fully how masking the expanded nuclei provides the ring region, and then I'm not sure whether step 2 in your answer is related to step 3.
I've attached sample images that I'm using. I segment the nuclei using the 'DNA binary' image and segment the cells using the 'Actin' image - which is not ideal for cell segmentation but is what I'm using in my experiment.
Actin.tif (3.4 MB) DNA binary.tif (1.7 MB) DNA.tif (3.4 MB) NFkB.tif (3.4 MB)
NFkB ratio.cpproj (918.7 KB)
Hi _USER_,
When I did similar measurements, I just simply used IdentifyTertiaryObjects. In your case, you need to add 2 more steps:
 1. subtracting cytoplasm from the ring region will give you the part of the ring outside the cell boundaries;
 2. Now, you can subtract the object obtained in (1) from the ring. Thus you will cut away everything outside the cell boundaries and get the desired constrained ring objects.
Good luck!

Hi _USER_,
I checked your pipeline with the images. There are few changes required,
 1. To segment Nuclei, you could use your DNA image itself (using IdentifyPrimaryObject module), but if you are using binary image, you could use the module "Threshold" instead of Primaryobject module since that might work better.
 2. To expand segmented nuclei, you could use "ExpandShrinkObject" module, no need of "IdentifySecondaryObject" module. [In the pipeline I have used 4px to expand since you had mentioned so in the earlier description)
 3. This is followed Mask object (as I had mentioned before). In case you notice my earlier screenshot, I have invert the mask just to have only the expanded portion of the nuclei (i.e.your ring region)
 4. To get your cytoplam, you can use "IdentifyTertiary object" module
 5. To measure the intensity you can use MaskedNuclei i.e.ring region object to measure from your preferred channel i.e. either Actin or GFP in this case.
 PFA pipeline.
Just to show you, I have added the "OverlayOutlines" module & here is the screenshot.

Hi _USER_,
Thank you for explaining again and for improving on my pipeline with my images. As you noticed, I didn't see the mask inversion from your original post. The pipeline you sent works very well.
Kind regards,
Hi Oleg, Thank you for a very nice solution. I can apply this logic to other segmentations I'm trying also.

Hyperspectral sensing of acid sulphate soils and their environmental impacts in South Yunderup, Western Australia
MetadataShow full item record
Several sources of hyperspectral data were used to map the occurrence and spread of acid sulfate soils (AAS). Surface evolution of mineralogy during controlled oxidation of sulphidic material showed the formation of secondary iron minerals linked to soil pH ranges. Spectral characterization, image classification and PLSR of hyperspectral data successfully mapped the occurrence of surface and subsurface acid conditions and related toxicity by linking mineralogy to pH.


Zmodo won't connect to WiFi (solved)
If you have a Zmodo camera that won't connect to Wi-Fi there's a quick fix.
Zmodo camera
Usually the issue with Internet connection is related to the frequency the camera is operating at. When your router works at 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, the Zmodo camera can associate itself to the wrong SSID (wireless signal name). But you can fix that.
Your Zmodo camera can't connect to the Internet
That's the first thing you usually notice. There's no Internet connection.
If the Zmodo camera doesn't connect to the wi-fi router, there's no way you can have access to the video stream through the Internet, so you need to make sure the camera can associate itself with your router.
The router and Zmodo camera frequency
A Zmodo camera can operate within the frequency of 2.4Ghz and some models can also operate within the 5Ghz. Make sure which model you are using.
Zmodo Wireless Frequency
Some models such as the Zmodo EZcam 720 HD wireless can only operate at the 2.4 Ghz and sometimes that's the reason it gets stuck when associating with the router that works with both frequencies.
If your router has both frequencies available and is using the same SSID (name of the signal your devices can associate with) the Zmodo camera can get confused.
How to solve the Zmodo Wifi connection problem
To solve the problem with the Wi-fi connection, just follow the steps:
 1. Access your wireless router settings;
 2. Look for the wireless settings menu;
 3. Find the wireless signal name (SSID);
 4. Rename the SSID for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (use different names);
 5. Open the security tab and make sure your router is using WPA or WPA2;
Let's say for example you have a Zmodo EZcam 720 HD that works only with the 2.4Ghz frequency but your router works with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies.
Just rename the router SSID signal to MySignal-2.4 and MySignal-5 for example.
Now that you have the SSID with different names just go your Zmodo camera and start the connection process again and choose the correct Wi-fi SSID.
The Zmodo camera password limitation
When using the WPA or WPA2 for Wi-Fi security it's necessary to enter a password to connect to the router. That's something universal.
The issue with some Zmodo cameras is that they allow you to type a maximum of 13 characters for a password, so if your router uses a long password it won't work.
Unfortunately, the solution is to change the router password. I know you probably won't like the idea, but it is what it is. So, go ahead and just change it.

Make the end of our
Bourbon's Journey
Just as refined as the beginning
While our bourbons are designed to bring an air of craft to any cocktail, a little technique can go a long way, as well. To help you learn the tricks and blending styles of our finest mixologists, we've created the handy guide below with six techniques to make you a better bartender.
Technique 1:
When crafting many types of cocktails, from the Bourbon Smash to the Mint Julep, you'll need to extract juice from fruit pulp and essential oils from herbs and citrus peels. In other words, muddling is a must. Before you begin, you'll need a muddler—a small metal or wooden pestle resembling a miniature baseball bat. Next, start by combining your fresh ingredients at the bottom of a mixing glass. Then use your muddler to press them together, releasing the flavors and allowing them to mingle with your other ingredients once added.
Technique 2:
In recent years, layering has become more and more popular, like in the Black Cherry Cooler. To layer a drink, individually pour the ingredients in a shot glass in order from heaviest to lightest. To prevent them from mixing together, carefully pour over a barspoon (or teaspoon). Because ingredients differ in density, the layers will stay separate. However, before you begin, you'll need to know how heavy your ingredients are in relation to one another. As a rule of thumb, the lower the proof of the alcohol, the heavier the ingredient is. For instance, grenadine (non-alcoholic) is heavier than Jim Beam Black® (86 proof/43% abv) which is heavier than Jim Beam® Bonded (100 proof/50% abv).
Technique 3:
Shaking came into prominence in the mid-1800s and has since become an undeniable trademark of cocktail society. Utter the phrase, "Shaken, not stirred." and everyone who's anyone will know exactly what you're referencing. A less well-known tidbit is that there are many types of shakers—the traditional three-part cobbler shaker, the more modern two-part Boston shaker and the French shaker, to name a few. No matter which kind of shaker you choose, start by pouring in your ingredients and then fill the shaker a third or halfway with ice. Next, seal the shaker and shake rhythmically until the outside feels cold enough. Finally, strain the shaker's contents into the proper glass. Just remember not to shake carbonated ingredients, except for in special circumstances.
Technique 4:
This is a less common cocktail mixing technique, but some drinks simply can't be made without an electric blender. Drinks calling for fresh fruit or ice pulp, like a Kentucky Margarita, should always be made this way. Simply add your ingredients to a blender with smashed ice. Then blend for about 10 to 30 seconds before pouring the blended cocktail directly into the proper glass.
Technique 5:
Ever made a Jim Beam®& Cola? That's building, and it's the simplest way to make a cocktail. To build your drink, carefully pour all the ingredients in the glass (generally over ice) and enjoy. Since carbonated ingredients like soda generally shouldn't be shaken, cocktails involving them will usually use this technique.
Technique 6:
Stirring is a classic method for mixing cocktails like the Manhattan. To begin, pour your ingredients into a Yarai mixing glass and then fill the rest of the way with ice. Next, stir well with a barspoon until your drink is well chilled and mixed. And finally, strain your cocktail into the proper glass.
practice makes damn good drinks
Now that you know the basics, you're all set to begin perfecting your methods on our extenisve list of cocktails or, of course, to try your hand at inventing few drinks of your own

Income is consistently shown to be a good predictor of consumption-based household greenhouse gas emissions. Within a wider research project aiming to understand changes in household emission patterns over time and across UK neighbourhoods, this paper aims to explore the spatial-temporal patterns of the relationship between consumption-based emissions of UK neighbourhoods and income between the years 2007-2017. In light of job losses and income cuts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this research allows us to predict how consumption-based emissions may have changed as a result of the pandemic.

Appointed on the nobles screen.
 - Allows large production orders.
 - Allows workshop profiles to be set.
The manager is a noble that allows players to create multiple production orders, and also lets them set up profiles for workshops. This means that players can rapidly dispatch any number of jobs from a single screen, without having to add tasks to individual workshops.
Relevant Skills[edit]
A certain set of skills are relevant for any manager. Furthermore, certain personality traits influence whether any experience is gained in the skill. There are soul attributes that affect the skills, and other skills that affect the same attribute's cross-training. The ones relevant for a manager are as follows:
Skill (relevant for manager) Personality Trait (needed to gain social skill) Attribute (affected by social skill)
Body Soul
Administrator Organizer Analytical ability
Social awareness
Social - Other Consoler Straightforwardness (Honesty) > 39 Linguistic ability
Social awareness
Pacifier Cooperation (Compromising) > 39 Linguistic ability
Social awareness
The better match with the skills, traits and attributes in the table above, the better of a manager a dwarf will be. Try to avoid traits that halt experience gain for a relevant skill, otherwise time will be lost training a dwarf who will never get better at that skill.
A manager only performs his duties in his office, so it is absolutely necessary to assign one. Since only a meager office is required, a single chair in the dining room will suffice.
 1. Hit n to enter the Nobles screen
 3. Build a chair somewhere or locate an existing chair.
At this point the red [REQUIRE] under "Manager" should have disappeared from the nobles screen and you should be able to queue up work orders.
It is trivially easy for a manager to get experience in the organizer skill. Just queue a lot of jobs to produce 30 of something, such as Collect Webs, which appears first on the list. The manager will gain experience when validating the order, not when the order is finished. You can cancel the order after it is validated if you wish.
Work orders[edit]
Creating a work order works like this:
 2. Press q to create a new work order
 4. Use the directional keys to select the specific type of item you want.
 5. Enter the quantity of items you want to produce (0 for a perpetual order).
 6. Your work order will appear in the list.
If there are at least 20 dwarves total then the manager will need to go to his office to "validate" each work order before it is acted on. If a manager is somehow occupied with other things then this might take a while, so in larger forts you might want to make sure your manager is not overly burdened with other labors. (For example, disabling hauling and cleaning for the manager might be a good idea.) The manager will also not perform his or her duties if socializing, drinking, eating, asleep or otherwise incapacitated (perhaps due to wounds). Managers don't require writing materials such as paper or scrolls to validate production orders.
To see if an order is validated, check the manager screen — validated orders will have a green checkmark, while invalidated orders will have a red X. Job orders will remain enqueued until the manager is once again in his (or her) office. An order can have the prefix of 'Ready', 'Checking' or 'Active'. A 'Ready' order only needs to be validated by the manager to become 'Active'. A 'Checking' order is waiting for its conditions to be satisfied: it will then become 'Active'.
An order can be set as a One-time order, or as a Repeating order that can restart when completed (conditions checked daily, monthly, seasonally or yearly), in the conditions menu.
You can edit the order in several ways: You can remove it, raise its priority, make it max (top) priority, change its conditions or details, or Enter limit the amount of workshops the order can be assigned to.
Conditions can be added to a work order by pressing c, and can either be based on the amount of an item in your fortress, or can depend on a currently ongoing work order.
Item conditions: To make life easier you can add item conditions from either the reagents/materials or products, or you can even add a new item condition yourself. When an item condition is selected, the following can be changed: The type (cabinets, bins etc.), material (obsidian, Acacia etc.), the traits (food-storage items, nearby items, empty items etc.), the number of the items (though this does not count items that are forbidden, built into something, or owned) and the inequality, at least (>=), less than(<), at most(<=), greater than(>), exactly(==), not(!=)).
Some useful item conditions are tricky to specify:
 - "refined coal" is just simply item=bar material=coal,
 - specific flour is item=powder, material=required flour name (not the plant name), trait=cookable
 - specific alcohol is item=drink, material="alcohol name" (not the plant name)
 - the trait "lye-containing item" (not to be mistaken with "lye-bearing item") is only available for "make soap" job,
 - item=liquid material=lye ignores lye in buckets,
 - the "unused" trait cannot be chosen manually, only reagents/materials key sets it for "make clothing" type of jobs.
Order conditions: The condition can depend on another order being completed, or another order becoming active.
The details of an order specify the type of material used in the making of the item (if applicable). Setting the max number of workshops that the order applies to can be especially useful to ensure that multiple orders for the same type of workshop (e.g. a Mason's Workshop) are worked on at the same time. After a production order is validated and Active, corresponding tasks will be automatically added to applicable workshops until the production quota has been met. An announcement appears when each order is completed. For repeating orders, the order then becomes inactive and the manager checks at the selected time interval for the conditions to become true again before restarting the order.
In repeating work orders, the quantity of items is treated as a batch size rather than a target number for total items to be produced. The quantity is set when creating the work order, and cannot be changed without redoing the entire order, conditions and all. A repeating work order will not abort mid-batch due to job cancellation or failed conditions. It must wait until the end of the batch before stopping. Be forewarned that perpetual (infinite) orders only check their conditions the first time they become true, since the (infinitely-sized) batch never completes. This can lead to confusion and frustration, as the order will never stop, regardless of failed conditions!
A guide to setting up functional work orders may be found in this thread.
Setting workshop profiles[edit]
The manager also allows players to change a workshop's "Profile". To edit a workshop's Profile, select a workshop with q and press P.
The workshop Profile enables players to restrict the dwarves that can use it and the minimum and maximum skill level required to use the workshop. They can choose who specifically can use the workshop by pressing enter on their name to permit/forbid their use of the workshop.
Additionally, using the Work Orders tab on the Profile screen will allow the manager to queue work orders specific to that workshop. Pressing Enter on the Work Orders tab will toggle whether or not the workshop will accept general work orders or only those set through the workshop's Profile.
Dwarves with strange moods seem to be able to claim a workshop even if they do not meet the profile criteria.
A note of caution: workshop profiles persistv0.31.12 even if the manager is killed, which can lead to workshops becoming unusable if the manager is killed and the dwarves permitted into the workshop die or are reassigned. Furthermore, workshop profiles seem to be slightly buggy. Adequate (rusty) weaponsmiths have been seen using a forge with the skill min/max both set to "Dabbling". This may be somewhat irritating if peasants are undergoing training.
One disadvantage of the work order system is that no work will be performed until the manager finishes validating the order. Work order validation appears to be fairly high priority, but it's best to ensure your manager has ample free time and isn't typically called far from the office for timely order validation.
A second disadvantage is that if there is more than one workshop which can fulfill a particular job set (such as several ordinary glass furnaces dedicated to sand collection, plus several magma glass furnaces for actual glass production) then the manager will distribute the jobs amongst all those workshops. While this can be an advantage (for example, if you want to speed up the work orders by having multiple workshops), this will make it difficult to dedicate different workshops to different tasks. This can be prevented by entering the profile of specific workshops and moving to the Work Orders menu; setting "general work orders cannot task this shop" will prevent the manager from assigning tasks.

The first study using data from real games shows that teams are more likely to lose when losing means elimination — suggesting that high-pressure environments lead to poorer performance.
— By Conn Hastings
If a sports team plays a critical game in which losing means elimination from a league, do they work harder to win — or does the high pressure mean they are more likely to make mistakes and lose? A new study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests the latter, finding that basketball teams playing for survival in critical NBA playoff games are more likely to lose. This suggests that the threat of elimination caused the teams to 'choke.' The study is the first to illustrate this effect in a real-world team sports environment — and may be applicable to a variety of high-pressure performance situations, such as those found in the workplace.
With the NBA 2018 finals drawing to a close, many teams will have experienced intense pressure to avoid elimination by winning critical games during the playoffs. Researchers are working to understand how athletes and others handle pressure, and how this affects their performance. Previous studies led some researchers to predict that high-pressure situations can help to focus minds and increase motivation, leading to increased success.
"Theories predict that individuals exert the most effort, and therefore produce their best performances, when the possible returns for their success — or the consequences of their failure — are highest," says Dr. Yair Galily, of the Interdisciplinary Center, Hertzlya, Israel.
However, other studies found evidence that high-pressure situations can lead to reduced performance and less success, when someone becomes overly focused on how to complete a task, rather than just doing it.
Many of these previous studies looked at performance under pressure in controlled conditions, such as asking soccer players to take penalty kicks while observed by researchers. Until now, no-one had explored the effect of high-pressure situations on performance in a real-world team situation.
To investigate this, Galily and a colleague examined stats from NBA playoff games, to see how athletes with a lot at stake coped with varying degrees of pressure in real games. The researchers predicted that teams would perform better when their backs are against the wall — meaning they would be more likely to win critical playoff games where losing meant thier elimination.
"We analyzed 1,930 playoff games to test this prediction," says Galily. "We calculated the probability that a team would win, if losing meant that they faced elimination from the playoffs."
The researchers included the relative strength of the teams in their calculations to make sure that their results took this into account. Strikingly, they found that the threat of elimination actually made teams more likely to lose, suggesting that they choked in 'sink or swim' games.
The effect was significant. For example, the researchers found that if a home team had a 65% general win probability during the playoffs, this was reduced to 55% in games that were critical for the home team, but not the guest team. However, if the game was critical for the guest team, and not the home team, the home team's win probability increased to almost 74%.
This is the first time that anyone has studied this effect in teams in a real-world environment, so more studies are necessary to further understand the phenomenon. However, the results are not just applicable to team sports, but could have wide-reaching implications.
"The results from our analysis are relevant to the workforce and many other domains," says Galily. "We suggest that leaders and managers should refrain from deliberately building high-pressure environments to try to enhance performance in their subordinates. They should adopt the 'just do it and enjoy' path."

Sites often require the functionality to create orders to be fulfilled repeatedly on a specific schedule, or to construct and save orders to be placed at a later date. You can use ATG Commerce to support these requirements through the use of scheduled orders.
In ATG Commerce, a scheduled Order object (of type scheduledOrder) maintains the schedule information for the scheduled order, and a template Order object maintains the order information for the scheduled order. The template Order object is a typical Order in the orderRepository, but it has a state of TEMPLATE. When a scheduled order is placed, the template order is cloned, and the cloned order is checked out and sent to Fulfillment. Consequently, the template Order is never processed, but simply serves as a prototype.
Template orders must include enough information, such as all necessary shipping and payment information, to process the cloned Order without further user interaction. A previously processed order or even the user's shopping cart (once the shipping and payment information has been specified) can be used to create a template order.
This section describes the ATG Commerce framework that supports scheduled orders and includes the following subsections:
For an example implementation of scheduled orders, see the Scheduling Orders section of the My Account chapter in the ATG Business Commerce Reference Application Guide.

Tromping up a mountain to learn about backcountry ski mountaineering racing, host Dr. North gets a real workout. Having just flown in from Hong Kong, Dr. North has no winter gear, so borrows Strafe's Highlands Jacket. The waterproof jacket proves to keep the good doctor warm in 30 degree weather, and as he starts to work up a sweat, he discovers just how important breathability is in a jacket.
The key to staying comfortable is staying dry. While waterproof materials keep water from getting into a jacket, breathable materials allow water to escape from the inside of the jacket. Ideally you want both, and this is what Polartec's Neoshell does. During rigorous activity a person will start sweating to cool themselves, this sweat turns into water vapor inside the jacket. To allow the water vapor to escape, Neoshell has microscopic pores big enough to allow the water vapor to escape, and small enough to keep water out. By allowing the water vapor to escape, Dr. North remains dry inside the jacket, allowing him to stay warm and feeling good!

The 16 palm nuts in this bag are used by Yoruba diviners to cast and ask questions about a person's illness. The nuts are passed from hand to hand eight times. Each time, one or two are kept in one hand and this is marked on a board. The diviner reads the pattern of these marks and matches it to one of 256 odu (signs or messages). The 16 palm nuts represent the children of Ifa, the Yoruba god of healing and divination. The Yoruba people traditionally live in south-west Nigeria.

I have another more specific question about passing data between forms in VB.net
I have a form with over 50 variables that I need to access on a second form and if i followed the method above, my form 2 will end up way too long and time consuming.
I'm making a complex calculation software that prompts user inputs values and calculates all those unknown variables. I need to display all the resulting values in the 2nd form. and from the 2nd form, i want to give the users an option to export all those values to an ms Excel sheet.
Here is an example of what I did in reference to the guide from the above link, Is there anyway to group the multiple properties into one for form2?
Feel free to copy and paste the code.
'form1 with a button and textbox Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Obj1, Obj2 As New Form2 Dim TDX, TBX, a As Decimal a = TextBox1.Text 'user input value b = 1 + a c = 2 + a Obj1.TDX = b Obj2.TBX = c Obj1.Show() Obj2.Show() End Sub End Class

NEOPERL® flow regulator: excellent eco-balance
When you install a flow regulator in your shower head, you save water and energy. However, how much water and energy is consumed and how much CO2 emitted to produce the flow regulator in the first place? What is the relation between expenditures and savings?
An eco-balance study by the Technische Universität Berlin was conducted to answer these questions. The results could not be clearer. With the flow regulator in use for ten years, the resources consumed during its production process are recouped after a few days' use.
To see more detailed results, please go to our flow regulator section.

Full employment
 Economic concept
What most neoclassical economists mean by "full" employment is a rate somewhat less than 100% employment, considering slightly lower levels desirable. Others, such as James Tobin, vehemently disagree, considering full employment as 0% unemployment.[2]
Rates of unemployment substantially above 0% have also been attacked by John Maynard Keynes:
– J.M. Keynes in a pamphlet to support Lloyd George in the 1929 election.
Before Milton Friedman and Edmund Phelps, Abba Lerner (Lerner 1951, Chapter 15) developed a version of the NAIRU. Unlike the current view, he saw a range of "full employment" unemployment rates. He distinguished between "high" full employment (the lowest sustainable unemployment under incomes policies) and "low" full employment (the lowest sustainable unemployment rate without these policies).
 Technical terms
 "Ideal" unemployment
An alternative, more normative, definition (used by some labor economists) would see "full employment" as the attainment of the ideal unemployment rate, where the types of unemployment that reflect labor-market inefficiency (such as structural unemployment) do not exist. Only some frictional unemployment would exist, where workers are temporarily searching for new jobs. For example, Lord William Beveridge defined "full employment" as where the number of unemployed workers equaled the number of job vacancies available. He preferred that the economy be kept above that full employment level in order to allow maximum economic production.
 Long run aggregate supply
The concept of full employment has so far been used in conjunction with the long run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve, where long run potential output is also the full employment level of output. Full employment does not mean that there is 'zero unemployment', but rather that all of the people willing and able to work have jobs at the current wage rate. Full employment is the quantity of labour employed when the labour market is in equilibrium.
The following should be understood in discussions of NAIRU: governments that follow it are attempting to keep unemployment at certain levels (usually over four percent, and as high as ten or more percent) by keeping interest rates high. As interest rates increase, more bankruptcies of individuals and businesses occur, meaning less money to hire staff or purchase goods (the making and distributing of which requires workers, which means jobs). It might also be noted that the main cause of inflation is not high employment, but rather the ability of banks to make money with little to no backing with things of value (commodities such as gold and silver are some examples), thus flooding the market with money and decreasing the value of each dollar already issued in the process, assuming the economy has not kept up to this increase in issued loans. Economists such as Milton Friedman[3] and Dr. Ravi Batra have theorized ways that a modern economy could have low inflation and near full employment (as in close to 100% of those who are not students and are healthy enough to work, and who wish to work at any given point in time), as of yet these have yet to be widely disseminated through the press or introduced by most governments. Paul Martin - former finance minister and past Prime Minister of Canada - once held that full employment could be achieved, yet let go of this idea after gaining power.
Friedman's view has prevailed so that in much of modern macroeconomics, full employment means the lowest level of unemployment that can be sustained given the structure of the economy. Using the terminology first introduced by James Tobin (following the lead of Franco Modigliani), this equals the Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment (NAIRU) when the real gross domestic product equals potential output. This concept is identical to the "natural" rate but reflects the fact that there is nothing "natural" about an economy.
At this level of unemployment, there is no unemployment above the level of the NAIRU. That is, at full employment there is no cyclical or deficient-demand unemployment. If the unemployment rate stays below this "natural" or "inflation threshold" level for several years, it is posited that inflation will accelerate, i.e. get worse and worse (in the absence of wage and price controls). Similarly, inflation will get better (decelerate) if unemployment rates exceed the NAIRU for a long time. The theory says that inflation does not rise or fall when the unemployment equals the "natural" rate. This is where the term NAIRU is derived.
The level of the NAIRU thus depends on the degree of "supply side" unemployment, i.e., joblessness that can't be abolished by high demand. This includes frictional, structural, and classical unemployment.
 Phillips curve
Ideas associated with the Phillips curve questioned the possibility and value of full employment in a society: this theory suggests that full employment—especially as defined normatively—will be associated with positive inflation. The Phillips curve tells us also that there is no single unemployment number that one can single out as the "full employment" rate. Instead, there is a trade-off between unemployment and inflation: a government might choose to attain a lower unemployment rate but would pay for it with higher inflation rates. In 1968, Milton Friedman, leader of the monetarist school of economics, and Edmund Phelps posited a unique full employment rate of unemployment, what they called the "natural" rate of unemployment. But this is seen not as a normative choice as much as something we are stuck with, even if it is unknown. Rather than trying to attain full employment, Friedman argues that policy-makers should try to keep prices stable (a low or even a zero inflation rate). If this policy is sustained, he suggests that the economy will gravitate to the "natural" rate of unemployment automatically.
 Structural unemployment
 Full employability
Full employability indicates an attempt by government to make people "employable" by both positive means (e.g. training courses) and negative means (e.g. cuts in benefits). It does not necessarily create full employment.
 Technical issues
Worse, the NAIRU doesn't stay the same over time—and can change due to economic policy. For example, some economists argue that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's anti-inflation policies using persistently high unemployment led to higher structural unemployment and a higher NAIRU.
 United States
The United States was, as a statutory matter, committed to full employment (defined as 3% unemployment for persons 20 and older, 4% for persons aged 16 and over), and the government is, in theory, empowered to effect this goal.[4] The relevant legislation is the Employment Act (1946), initially the "Full Employment Act," later amended in the Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act (1978). The 1946 act was passed in the aftermath of World War II, when it was feared that demobilization would result in a depression, as it had following World War I in the Depression of 1920–21, while the 1978 act was passed following the 1973–75 recession and in the midst of continuing high inflation.
However, since the passage of this Act in 1978, the US has, as of 2012 never achieved this level of employment, nor has such a reservoir of public employment been created.
 Job guarantee
Some, particularly Post-Keynesian economists[5][6] have suggested ensuring full employment via a job guarantee program, where those who are unable to find work in the private sector are employed by the government, the stock of thus employed public sector workers fulfilling the same function as the unemployed do in controlling inflation, without the human costs of unemployment.

When it comes to selecting a wooden floor for use within your property it can seem a daunting proposal. So many questions can arise seemingly out of nowhere. These questions can range from what wood type to select, what sheen will best complement the rooms existing décor and which surface will prove most durable over the years to come? V4 Flooring understand that selecting a wooden floor is not always straight forward, due to this we have created a four stage selection process which enables you to easily and effectively identify the wooden floor which matches your requirements and personal tastes.
Selecting A Wooden Floor: Four Easy Steps
1. Choose the right floor for you:
The first stage in selecting a wooden floor is to decide which material you wish to use. When selecting a floor type it is not only the aesthetic appearance which should be taken into account. There are a number of other effects which are equally if not more important, which need to be taken into account. To demonstrate it is important to know whether a particular flooring type is compatible with underfloor heating. Other factors which should be considered are whether the flooring can be resealed if necessary. This is an important factor, if for some reason the flooring needs to be brought up in order to address an unrelated plumbing or electrical problem, boards which can be resealed can be replaced once work is finished. Boards which cannot be resealed on the other hand cannot.
2. Select your preferred grading type:
Once you have selected a flooring type, it is time to consider the type of grading which most appeals. At V4 Flooring we make use of 3 tasteful grading variations. These variations include:
- AB Select/Natural Grade: This grading can feature some light sapwood around the edges of the board. In addition, boards of this grade type may feature some small sound knots and smaller filled knots both of which greatly enhance the natural effect of the grade.
- ABC Mixed Grade: This grading is popular in a number of wood types, most notably Walnut. This grade features a higher variation of grain and wood colour. In addition this grade features a greater number of sound ad filled knots than found in the AB Select/Natural grade type. With this grade type, dark streaks and a number of small, filled cracks may be present.
- CD Rustic Grade: Using more economical timber types provides greater grain and colour variation within the flooring. Flooring of this grade type tends to feature large sound knots and a greater number of filled knots than on other grade types.
3. Choose the right finish type:
A number of finish types are available on wooden flooring. Each of these have their own maintenance requirements. The three finish types which V4 Flooring use include:
- Lacquer: Under this finishing method the top layer of the wooden surface is coated with five individual layers of primer coats. Added to this are at least two additional coats of a UV cured Treffert aluminium oxide lacquer. This method produces a surface which is both hard wearing and also low maintenance.
- Natural Oil: This finish is created with up to four coats of natural WOCA oil. This oil is applied with rollers, each successive layer is buffed into the top layer of the panel. This process not only permeates the grain of the plank but also adds a matt sheen which is then left to cure. The natural oil finish produces the most natural effect of the three finish types.
- UV Oil: The process to create this effect is similar to the one used to create the natural oil finish. Where it differs however is each coat is cured using a UV light. This process produces a slight satin sheen on the surface on the panels.
4. Finally choose the optimum surface:
V4 Concrete make use of a number of different techniques, in order to provide a range of varied surface finishes. Each of these techniques produces a visually different aesthetic effect. The techniques include:
- Brushed: With this technique a steel brush is utilised in order to remove soft grain from the surface of the flooring. This technique greatly enhances the natural beauty of the woods natural grain.
- Hand Scraped: In order to be successful this technique must be undertaken by skilled and experienced craftsmen. The process involves using hand tools in order to scrape out the woods soft grain whilst following the natural contours of the wood.
- Distressed: To achieve this effect a number of techniques are used. These techniques give the wood an aged appearance. The skill of this technique is making the distressed effect look authentic and natural.
- Stained: In order to create this effect the wood panels are stained. The stain is applied with rollers, this is then buffed in order to enable the stain to penetrate the top level of the wood. The panel is then sealed with either oil or lacquer.
- Smoked: With this effect the timber is placed for three days in a drying room. The drying room is filled with ammonia vapour or ‚Äúsmoke‚Äù which causes the woods colour to darken.
- Carbonised: To achieve this effect the timber is baked in a kiln causing the soft grain to be consumed. This causes the wood to blacken and the grain texture becomes exposed.

We describe the setup of testing regions for the China Earthquake Forecast Testing Center and provide preliminary forecast results in the scope of the Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP) project. We investigate the spatiotemporal variations of the completeness magnitude Mc by using the frequency‐magnitude distribution of the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC) catalog. We find three periods of significantly different Mc histories: (I) 1 January 1970–30 September 2001, (II) 1 October 2001–30 September 2008, and (III) 1 October 2008–31 August 2011. Mc mapping provides median values, 2.2, and 1.6 for the three periods of time, respectively, showing the improvement in catalog completeness over time. We recommend using data from periods II and III to define a baseline long enough for retrospective forecast testing. Small magnitude events from period I should be used with caution due to important fluctuations in completeness. For period III, coordinates of all national and regional seismic stations are available, and we therefore apply the Bayesian magnitude of completeness (BMC) technique, mapping Mc continuously by using prior information on the relationship between Mc and the density of seismic stations. We define four potential testing/collection areas for CSEP‐China: (A) All China, (B) North–South Seismic Belt (NSSB), (C) North and West Xinjiang Seismic Region, and (D) North China Seismic Region. In the current phase of CSEP‐China, only the NSSB (region B) is considered. To demonstrate the type of earthquake predictability experiment that will be performed in the Chinese Testing Center, we present a series of retrospective forecast experiments with TripleS, a smoothed seismicity model.
Online Material: The CENC earthquake catalog (1 January 1970–31 August 2011, restricted to magnitudes M≥3.0) as well as completeness magnitude Mc(x,y) spatial grids.

There has been an increasing interest within the field of Marriage and Family Therapy over the last decades in uncovering and exploring how specific contextual parameters influence the life experience of minority groups. The identified experiences of minority groups include emotional and psychological responses directly connected to oppression, the effect of oppression on the couple relationship, and specific mental health needs. This dissertation adds to the existing knowledge in several ways. Specifically, the aim is to explore (1) how experiences of oppression may be present in a Scandinavian context, (2) how lived experiences affect the relationship of minority couples in Denmark, and (3) their specific mental health needs and implications for marriage and family therapists.
During this study eight couples (16 individuals) were interviewed to gain an indepth understanding of their experiences and meaning-making processes. The data was analyzed using a phenomenological method developed by Edwards and Titchen (2003) and based on the theory of Alfred Schutz (1967; 1970a). Results indicated that, as a consequence of their racial, cultural, and religious difference, the participating couples experienced that others tend to devalue them, seeing them as not-Danish, and being of lesser worth, affecting them emotionally and psychologically. This study identified several coping mechanisms commonly used by Middle Eastern couples in Denmark. This dissertation is ground breaking in Denmark, as it takes a first step toward exploring the experiences of minority couples and the emotional and psychological impact that the Danish context has on them. In addition, this dissertation makes a contribution to the field of marriage and family therapy by connecting theories developed in the United States to lived experiences in Denmark, enabling marriage and family therapists around the world to reflect on trans-cultural and trans-national processes and experiences in regards to oppression.

Langdon Bay, Kent
Langdon Bay is a bay in east Kent, England. It is two miles east of the town of Dover, and is named after the nearby villages of Langdon, East Langdon and West Langdon. The cliffs around it are known as the Langdon Cliffs, there is a prominent zig-zag path that leads from the cliff top to the beach, this is visible from the sea.
The bay is known for the Langdon Bay Hoard - a collection of Bronze Age scrap metal found nearby in 1974. This includes bronze axes of a French type and is thought to represent the cargo of a boat that was caught in a storm just after leaving the English coast, either jettisoned to lighten and save the boat or sunk with it (if there was a wreck, it is now lost). This demonstrates that cross-channel trade was already occurring in the Bronze Age, if not earlier. It is owned by the British Museum but on long-term loan and display in Dover Museum in Market Square, Dover.
Three searchlight batteries - known as the Langdon Lights - were built into the base of the bay's cliffs during World War II, so that any ship trying to enter the bay could be illuminated while it was checked, though one has been destroyed by a cliff fall.
The area above the cliffs is now a chalk downland nature reserve owned by the National Trust, looking down on Dover Harbour and the Channel, and centred around the 'Gateway to the White Cliffs' Visitor Centre. Large parts of this reserve, and of this section of clif ftop in general, is an SSSI, AONB and Heritage Coast. Another nearby historic site is the South Foreland Lighthouse, also an NT property.
