Symmetry Breaking in Graphs
Michael O. Albertson, Karen L. Collins
A labeling of the vertices of a graph G, $\phi :V(G) \rightarrow \{1,\ldots,r\}$, is said to be $r$-distinguishing provided no automorphism of the graph preserves all of the vertex labels. The distinguishing number of a graph G, denoted by $D(G)$, is the minimum $r$ such that $G$ has an $r$-distinguishing labeling. The distinguishing number of the complete graph on $t$ vertices is $t$. In contrast, we prove (i) given any group $\Gamma$, there is a graph $G$ such that $Aut(G) \cong \Gamma$ and $D(G)= 2$; (ii) $D(G) = O(log(|Aut(G)|))$; (iii) if $Aut(G)$ is abelian, then $D(G) \leq 2$; (iv) if $Aut(G)$ is dihedral, then $D(G) \leq 3$; and (v) If $Aut(G) \cong S_4$, then either $D(G) = 2$ or $D(G) = 4$.

How long does a compensation claim take?
Every claimant wants to settle their claim as quickly as possible and move on from their injury. But to get to the point where a compensation claim can be settled involves evidence, expert opinions and investigations from insurers. It also requires clear communication between insurers, specialist solicitors, claimants and occasionally the courts. All of this can take time.
Some claim types are known to settle more quickly than others. In cases where negligence is obviously clear, and a defendant insurer has no reasonable option other than to make an admission of liability, a claim will settle more quickly. Conversely, in a matter relating to a more complex claim where negligence isn't so easily obvious, a claimant solicitor will have to make a strong argument to succeed and achieve an admission of liability, and a claim will take longer to settle.
Claims that tend to settle more quickly
Claims often settle within a few months, when:
 - Liability against the party that caused an accident is clear and obvious
 - The claim relates to relatively minor injuries with full recovery
 - Claimants respond quickly to requests for information
 - Accident details have been properly reported and recorded
 - Injuries and losses are not in dispute
Claims that can take longer
As you would expect, there are many issues that can arise that are beyond our control and slow the claims process down. Furthermore, two seemingly similar claims may initially give the view that they will settle quickly – yet one could take six months and the other could take 18 months. Each claim does need to be looked at on its own merits and complexities, but common issues that can cause a slower claim timeframe include:
 - Complex claims, including severe and life changing injuries
 - Incomplete medical treatments meaning injury/recovery prognosis is not known
 - Split liability or denied liability claims
 - Claimant failure to respond quickly to solicitor queries
 - Inefficiency and slow work by other parties – for example, defendant insurers
 - Claims that have to go to court
In more serious and complex cases, where negligence is not obvious and evidence is not so clear cut, there can be denials of liability from a defendant insurer. This will lead to an unavoidable slowing of the claims process. At this point, a claimant solicitor will seek further instructions from a claimant to enable them to fight a denial of liability and seek expert opinion from a barrister in an effort to force an admission of liability.
In cases where a defendant has accepted responsibility, and will therefore make a compensation settlement offer to a claimant, they may dispute the value of a claim settlement or the losses incurred by a claimant, and request further evidence and medical assessments to support the claim. They could state a desire to take the matter to court for a judgement on the settlement, and such issues will definitely slow a claim down.
Insurer deadlines and legal protocols
It is the third party insurer's job to minimise any settlement they have to pay, and they aren't always good act acting quickly. Helpfully for claimants, there are legally-binding timeframes in place to prevent claims being dragged out longer than necessary. These 'Pre-Action Protocols' give a maximum time for defendant insurers to respond to claims and carry out their investigations. The times vary depending on the claim type involved.
At Direct2Compensation, we realise that much rests on the speedy action of our team and partners to minimise delays, that defendants are pressed to ensure that deadlines are met, and that the claim is regularly chased. We work tirelessly to ensure that claimants are kept informed and that their claim is settled fairly and quickly.

 My question is how long does a company take or is there a time limit for investigation to finish?
 - Ian Morris
 Hi, I am a little unsure as to what you mean with your question – do you mean how long does a claim take or are there time limits in the claims process regarding how defendant insurers investigate claims and how long do they have to reply to a claim?

We analyze the collective behavior of a set of coupled damped driven pendula with finite (large) inertia, and show that the synchronization of the oscillators exhibits a first order phase transition synchronization onset, substantially different from the second order transition obtained in the case of no inertia. There is hysteresis between two macroscopic states, a weakly and a strongly coherent synchronized state, depending on the coupling and the initial state of the oscillators. A self-consistent theory is shown to determine these cooperative phenomena and to predict the observed numerical data in specific examples.

The GENetic optimization and Bootstrapping of LInear Structures (GENBLIS) Home Page
Walter R. Mebane, Jr. and Jasjeet S. Sekhon
Please direct all questions and comments to Jasjeet Sekhon.
GENBLIS (GENetic optimization and Bootstrapping of LInear Structures) is an evolutionary program which estimates structural equation models with latent variables by combining the global search strength of evolutionary algorithms with the ability of derivative based algorithms to do rapid local hill climbing. GENBLIS provides bootstrap confidence intervals for parameters and bootstrap confidence limits for the goodness-of-fit test statistic. Structural equation models are often used in political science, sociology, psychology, marketing and related social science fields to specify and estimate stochastic models for linear relations in the presence of measurement errors.
There are a variety of ways to parameterize structural equation models. Following Bollen (1989 [*]), GENBLIS uses a parameterization developed by Jöreskog (1973 [*]) and Wiley (1973 [*]). This parameterization has become a standard because of the popularity of the LISREL program which was developed by Jöreskog and Sörbom.
GENBLIS is described in the GENBLIS Manual. One can download the following binaries:
The UNIX binaries are in tar and gzip format. Therefore, to unpack them in a given directory please issue the following commands:
zcat genblis.linux-1.11.4.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
You may have to change the mode of the genblis binary to make it an executable. The can be done by issuing the following command:
chmod ugo+rx genblis
Small parts of the current GENBLIS code were adapted from an early version of Zbigniew Michalewicz's GENOCOP I.

Quick Start
This quick start guide will explain how to set up a primitive sphere to interact with water.
An empty scene will be used for the example.
Water Object Manager
WaterObjectManager is the main script of Dynamic Water Physics 2 and has to be present in the scene for water/object interaction to work. It does not matter to which object it is attached, it just needs to be present. WaterObjectManager fetches the data from all the WaterObjects in the scene, processes it and sends it to a job which then does all the physics calculations and makes use of multiple CPU cores.
 1. Add a WaterObjectManager to the scene. No need to change any settings. Example:
Example WaterObjectManager setup.
Water Object
WaterObject is a script that tells WaterObjectManager which objects should interact with water. Any object that is active and has this script will interact with water. There are two requirements for WaterObject to work: a Rigidbody and a MeshFilter from which the script will fetch the mesh (DWP2 uses mesh data to simulate object/water interaction). Rigidbody does not have to be attached to the same object as WaterObject, but it must be present in one of its parents. This allows for composite objects; one Rigidbody with multiple hulls - such as a trimaran.
 1. Add a 3D Object ⇒ Sphere to the scene.
 2. Add a Sphere Collider to the Sphere if is not automatically added.
 3. Add a Rigidbody to the Sphere and set its mass to 300. There is also a script called MassFromMaterial which can calculate and set the Rigidbody mass based on material density and mesh volume, but it is a helper script and not required.
 4. Add WaterObject to the Sphere. Since the sphere by default has 768 triangles Simplify Mesh option should be used. This option automatically decimates the mesh to a Target Triangle Count. A good triangle count is 30 or less for simple objects and around 60 for ship hulls. Using higher triangle count will only have a minor influence on simulation quality but will have a linear performance penalty (doubling the triangle count will about halve the performance). Therefore, adjusting the triangle count until the object starts to lose its shape is recommended. In the case of the example sphere 36 will be enough:
Example WaterObject setup.
Water Data Provider
WaterDataProvider is a script that tells WaterObjectManager where the water is. It is an interface between water systems/assets and Dynamic Water Physics and allows the two to communicate. All flat water assets/shaders use the same WaterDataProvider: FlatWaterDataProvider while for wavy assets such as Crest an asset-specific WaterDataProvider has to be used, e.g. CrestWaterDataProvider.
As an example a flat water plane will be used:
 1. Create an empty object using RMB ⇒ Create Empty and name it Water. Name does not matter.
 2. Add FlatWaterDataProvider to it and press Play. The object will now float but it will appear as if it floating in empty space (which it is). FlatWaterDataProvider assumes that water is at transform.position.y of the object it is attached to and does not care about any shaders, colliders, etc. Changing the Y value of Transform's position will make the Sphere float at different heights.
 3. To make this look more realistic, a plane can be added instead. Delete the Water object created in step 1 and create a 3D Object plane instead. Attach FlatWaterDataProvider and make sure to remove MeshCollider from it or the sphere will just sit on the plane through physics collision.
 4. Press play again. The sphere floats the same as in step 2 but it appears it is in 'water'. At this point Default-Material of the plane can be replaced with a material that uses some kind of flat water shader - e.g. the included WaterProDaytime material which is just a standard Unity water.
A result of following this guide. Not pretty, but fully functional.
Water Particle System
WaterParticleSystem can be used to generate foam. It works with any flat water.
 1. Drag DefaultWaterParticleSystem from DWP2 ⇒ Resources into the scene and parent it to the Sphere.
 Example WaterParticleSystem setup.
 2. Move the Sphere to be above the water and press play. Sphere falling into the water will generate foam around it based on simulation data. WaterParticleSystem and ParticleSystem values can be tweaked to suit the needs of the project.
Center Of Mass
CenterOfMass is a simple script that offsets the center of mass of a Rigidbody.
Unity calculates center of mass of the object from all of its colliders, as if the object were homogenous. In many cases this is not correct - a ship has ballast, a crate could have some load in it, a barrel could have oil, etc.
To adjust the center of mass of an object simply attach CenterOfMass script to the same object that contains the Rigidbody and adjust the Center Of Mass Offset - a value in local coordinates which tells how much to offset center of mass from the Unity-calculated point. Want a ship to be less prone to capsizing? Lower the Y component of COM.
CenterOfMass inspector.
Water Object Wizard
WaterObjectWizard is a helper script that sets up a WaterObject automatically. It is still recommended to have knowledge of manual setup and how things work, but this script can automate and speed up the setup process.
A primitive Sphere will be used, same as in the rest of the guide above.
 1. Add a 3D Object > Sphere to the scene.
 2. Add WaterObjectWizard to the newly create Sphere.
 3. Tick Add Water Particle System (optional). This option is self-explanatory.
 4. Click Auto-Setup and press Play after the setup is done. The Sphere now floats and generates foam. Next step would be to manually check and tweak the default values, such as Target Triangle Count, center of mass, etc.
Enabling Burst
Burst is a compiler, it translates from IL/.NET bytecode to highly optimized native code using LLVM. This improves job performance.
It can be installed from Unity PackageManager.
By default Burst compilation is disabled. This is due to the fact that cross compilation is not supported in some cases. E.g. building for Mac OS on Windows will fail if Burst is enabled.
To enable Burst compilation add DWP_BURST under Project Settings ⇒ Player ⇒ Scripting Define Symbols. Make sure that the Burst package installed beforehand.

Price competition between store brands and national brands: determinants of price elasticities for cheese products
Store brands and national brands (Kraft) account for eighty percent of the retail cheese market in the United States. The goal of this study is to estimate brand demand elasticities and reveal factors that determine price elasticities for store and national brands of cheese; more importantly, to provide implications for marketing managers. Data used in this study are store-level scanner data provided by a national supermarket chain in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area (CMA). Based on product forms, cheese is classified into five product categories: shredded, sliced, chunk, snack, and miscellaneous. Six stores are included in the data set and these stores are selected from geographic areas that can be described as being populated by higherand lower-income consumers. A two-stage modeling process is utilized in this study. First, brand demand elasticities are estimated with respect to various store locations, cheese product forms, and package sizes. Second, a meta-analysis is applied to reveal the factors that determine price elasticities of store and national brands. This process involves regressing the estimated price elasticities of store and national brands on the determinants of elasticities: store location, market share, product form, and package size. Both the nonlinear Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and linear approximation AIDS (LA/AIDS) are utilized in the first stage to estimate brand demand elasticities. Given five product categories and two income groups, a total of 20 demand systems are estimated for the two AIDS models. Before estimating the two versions of AIDS model, the unit-root test was initially conducted to confirm stationarity of the time-series variables. This study provides a rich knowledge base for retail store managers and manufacturers to use for maximizing sales and profits. Results from the first stage demand systems indicate that compared with store brands, consumers are very sensitive to national brands price changes for most cheese items even in higher-income areas. The second stage meta-analysis shows that store location, market share, product form, and package size affect price elasticities for store and national brands; moreover, the estimated demand elasticities between AIDS and LA/AIDS models are not significantly different.

History of Catford
The name Catford is usually explained as having been taken from a ford across the River Ravensbourne frequented by wild cats. In 1745 there were a few houses at Catford Bridge, and separate hamlets at Perry Hill and Rushey Green. The open space called Rushey Green, which was east of the modern road, was an ancient area of settlement, with moated houses on either side. The green was enclosed in 1810, and cottages were rapidly built over it.
A watermill for corn was established at Catford Bridge at the beginning of the nineteenth century to serve the local farms. The fields in the area were a mixture of pasture and arable. The first significant planned housing development was the luxury estate called Ravensbourne Park, which was begun in the 1820s.
In 1857 the Mid Kent railway line was built, with a station at Catford Bridge. This encouraged the building of houses for the middle classes, since it offered transport to the City of London.
However, large-scale development did not take place until the end of the century, when trams provided a cheaper means of transport and Catford Station gave a direct link with the West End.
Much housing for the working and lower middle classes quickly resulted. The largest of the new building projects was the Corbett Estate, which stretched into Hither Green. The Forster family, Lewisham's largest landowners, began to develop their farmland in the south of Catford from the 1890s. Some light industry was established in southern Catford.
Lewisham's local government has had its headquarters in Catford since 1875. The old Board of Works offices were enlarged as the Town Hall in 1900, and other municipal buildings have been added.

text: ||It is difficult to acquire tagged cardiac MR images with a high temporal and spatial resolution using clinical MR scanners. However, if such images are used for quantifying scores based on motion, it is essential a resolution as high as possible. This paper explores the influence of the temporal resolution of a tagged series on the quantification of myocardial dynamic parameters. To such purpose we have designed a SPAMM (Spatial Modulation of Magnetization) sequence allowing acquisition of sequences at simple and double temporal resolution. Sequences are processed to compute myocardial motion by an automatic technique based on the tracking of the harmonic phase of tagged images (the Harmonic Phase Flow, HPF). The results have been compared to manual tracking of myocardial tags. The error in displacement fields for double resolution sequences reduces 17%.

Florida Early Election Records
From Ancestry.com Wiki
This entry was originally written by the Florida Pioneer Descendants Certification Program Committee of the Florida State Genealogical Society, Inc. for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
The Florida State Archives has 2,000 folders of important early election records. Land records can be misleading on absentee owners, but election records were sworn documents requiring proof of residence, usually six months in the county, two years in the state. The files are arranged by year, and then by county, but they must be used in person. These voter rolls and returns list the names of candidates, clerks, and inspectors in local, state, congressional, referendum, and militia elections from 1824. Until 1865 each voter's name and precinct of residence is listed.
Among the most useful records for those tracing ancestors at the time of statehood are the returns of the first statewide election, held on 26 May 1845, in Brian E. Michaels, Florida Voters in Their First Statewide Election (Tallahassee: Florida State Genealogical Society, 1987).
Another voter record of genealogical significance, located at the Florida State Archives, is the 1868 Florida Voter Registration, which required an oath of allegiance to the U.S. government. It was also the first voter enrollment open to African Americans. While it is neither indexed nor complete for all counties, this important re-registration for the post-war constitutional convention election includes name, qualifying date, race, length of residence, nativity by state, and naturalization. The rolls are arranged by county and then by the date of individual registration.


Do Fish Shed Their Scales?
There are instances where fish do shed their scales but they do not shed them as part of normal growth. If they lost their scales as they grew they would not continue to grow.
The scales would have to be repaired or replaced for the fish to grow. Fish scales mimic the qualities of a human's skin. The scales of a fish will grow as they get older.
The number of scales has is directly proportional to what its age is. The scales are just like the rings of a tree. The scales help to determine their age
Why Does a Fish Shed its Scales?
1. Physical Damage
 - Breeding Season: As they are swimming around trying to mate with the females both species are very active. They will brush up against many objects as they are swimming erratically so this can result in physical damage, which is generally lost scales.
 - Aggressive Behavior of Other Fish: Sometimes the other fish in the aquarium can become aggressive and try to harm the other fish by constantly hitting them. Generally, the fish that was attacked is the one that will lose scales.
 - Decorations: It is okay to add caves and other decorations inside your aquarium but make sure that they do not have any sharp parts.
If you do have aggressive fish in your aquarium it is advisable that you keep them together in one aquarium to help protect the gentler, docile fish from being hurt and losing scales.

2. Infection
Having an infection will also cause your fish to shed their scales and is the second common reason for a fish to shed scales. There are so many different infections that it is too long of a list to name them.
SEE NEXT: Baby Snapping Turtle Care Guide - Diet & Tank
3. Abrasions
A fish can get an abrasion by coming into contact with hard objects. It is nothing for them to brush up against something as they swim around the aquarium, especially during the breeding season. To help prevent this from happening, be sure that you do not put anything in the aquarium that has a rough surface or a sharp edge.
Scale Shedding Disease
This disease is called infectious protrusion and among aquamarine fish, this is a prevalent disease. It is caused by dangerous bacteria like Aeromonas punctuate and Pseudomonas fluorescens. It this disease is not treated, it becomes fatal.
These bacteria can be found in nature and is brought into the aquarium from natural reservoirs. When the fish that is infected in placed in an aquarium with healthy fish, the disease will spread if the infected fish is not quarantined first.
This disease can get into your aquarium via water, plants, or gravel from an infected aquarium. Another way it can spread is through transmission from equipment used in the infected aquarium.
The main symptoms of this disease is scale rising and scale shedding. In the beginning, the fish will look healthy but you may see some protruding scales. As the disease gets worse, more scales will start to stick up all over the fish's body.
This is because of the formation of the small pustules or bubbles that are full of serous fluid. They form in the places under the skin where the scales are attached to the fish's body. As a result, this leads to scales being shed or lost.
SEE NEXT: Top 5 Bottom Dweller / Bottom Feeder Fish
Because they shed scales, form pustules, and have scales protruding, these young fish will have difficulty breathing. The reason is that they use dermal respiration during that stage of their life instead of using their gill apparatus for exchanging gases. Unfortunately, these two specific symptoms do not always hint towards scale shedding disease.
Sometimes the protruding scales can be caused by bacteria called Mycobacteriosis or Ichthyosporidium. In order to be sure exactly what is causing a fish's scales to shed, you will need to examine the tissue that surrounds it and the scales.
fish scale
This disease can only be treated if it is caught in the early stages. This is when the scales start to stick up in patches. Some of the things that can be used include:
 - Antibiotics: These can include Sulfanilamide, Bicillim-5, and Biomycin
 - Basic Violet K: This can be made to treat fish in separate aquariums.
If a fish shows extensive protrusion of their scales, they are beyond being cured so they should not be kept any longer. They should be disposed of and everything, including the equipment, fishing tackle, and aquarium needs to be disinfected.
To clean and disinfect them, you should use five percent Hydrochloric acid or Sulphuric Acid. You can also use a Chloramine solution. To disinfect the gravel you need to temper or boil it. You should use Bicillin-5 solution to treat any of the plants.
Can a Fish Grow Back Their Scales?
Even if your fish loses a large number of its scales, it is possible that they can normally grow them back but it all depends on the breed of fish. The time for them to grow back will vary according to the species. Some can grow them back in a few weeks while others it may take three to four months.
SEE NEXT: Rasbora Hets & Espei Rasboras - Care Guide
It also depends on why they shed their scales in the first place. For example, if it was due to aggressive fish and you have moved the aggressive fish to another aquarium then they should grow back. The same way if it was due to something sharp in the aquarium and it was removed, their scales would grow back or repair themselves.
If the fish are healthy and it was not an infection causing them to shed scales, then they should grow them back or repair them.
 - It is a misconception that fish shed their scales as they grow. If nothing bad happens to a fish they will never shed their scales
 - If the fish have shed a lot of scales they will probably not grow them back, or at least the majority of them.
 - With scale shedding disease, if it is caught in time the fish will recover.

This paper uses the example of the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine Libraries at the University of Edinburgh. It examines the changing course structure in veterinary medicine and shows how information skills training has developed to provide students with transferable skills which they can take into their veterinary career. This is particularly relevant as the profession is increasing the emphasis on continuing professional development. The paper investigates how staff in the Veterinary Libraries have collaborated with colleagues in the Medical Libraries, using the example of information skills training for medical students to tailor training for veterinary students. The paper will discuss how Library staff liaised with the Veterinary School to integrate information skills training into the undergraduate curriculum.
The paper will also discuss information skills training of postgraduate students and staff in the Veterinary School. Finally, the paper will show how the Veterinary Subject Guide on Library Online (_URL_ was developed to assist ease of access to resources for students. Relevance to the conference: The work described in this paper covers several of the conference themes including: training programmes, liaison with clients, teaching Internet search skills, knowledge sharing and developing library websites. Finally, it suggests that a 21st century veterinary library must develop to meet its clients' needs and provide them with the transferable skills they require in 21st century veterinary medicine.


Why become a dormant company?
Although many businesses in the UK are constantly trading, some people choose to form or become a dormant company.
A dormant company is a business that has seen no significant economic activity during an accounting period, thus it stops trading; you can read more about dormant associations in our Transmit Start Ups guide. Here are some reasons why you might want to become a dormant company:
Future proofing
Preparation is key if you want your start-up or small business to succeed, thus if you have an idea for a trading company or are working toward starting a business you may want to open a dormant company. This way, whenever you are ready to begin trading you can jump right in, and begin growing your brand, but, in the meantime, you won't have to worry about filing detailed accounts for your dormant company. Furthermore, you may want to form a dormant company to pit your competitors at the post. Everyone knows the value of a good business idea and even a strong company name. So, why not prevent people from stealing your thunder and incorporate your stellar business today?
A trading break
Many businesses don't start their lives as dormant companies. Sometimes, an actively trading company may decide they want to take a break, and become dormant. Becoming a dormant company is helpful if you intend to continue trading in future. It simplifies the entire administration process, as you should submit abridged accounting forms to Companies House each year, which is less detailed, and so time-saving. Furthermore, it will also reduce the cost compared to if you remained a limited company, as dormant companies are not tax liable. Becoming dormant is also not as much hassle as dissolving your business – especially if there is a chance that you are likely to incorporate a similar business in future.
Some businesses may look to become dormant, for a period, if they hit any significant hurdles during their lifetime. For example, if the owner or director of the company falls ill or dies, a business may become temporarily dormant in order to assess the situation, and appoint new company officers. A company may also undergo a restructuring, and – as a result – no trading will be taking place, thus becoming dormant is a cheaper and more sensible solution. Furthermore, if a business is winding up then it may also choose to become dormant until its end to tie up any loose ends.
Holding assets
Finally, some people choose to register a dormant company so that they can hold a particular asset. For example, in the housing industry, one company – a dormant company – may hold several flats, while a larger, umbrella company handles the leasing. Thus, the holding company remains dormant, as it does not partake in any significant economic activity.

By an Aronszajn tree, I mean a tree of height $\omega_1$ with countable levels and no branch. Such a tree is Souslin if it has no uncountable antichains and special if it can be written as the countable union of antichains. It is well known that there is both a ccc forcing and a $\sigma$-closed forcing for adding Souslin trees and, given any Aronszajn tree $T$ (Souslin or otherwise) there is a ccc forcing for specializing $T$. Therefore we can add Souslin trees, and then specialize them, giving us new special Aronszajn trees. In this post I have a variety of questions about forcings which add Aronszajn trees that are neither special nor Souslin. The most basic of these is as follows.
Question 1: What are some of the most common ways of forcing to add an Aronszajn tree which is neither Souslin nor special? In this post Mohammad Golshani cites a theorem that immediately implies that such trees exist under certain $\diamondsuit$ hypotheses. Therefore forcings to add diamonds suffice but I'm curious whether there is a more explicit forcing where the generic is actually the tree.
My next question is about killing Souslin-ness (or whatever it's called) without specializing.
Question 2: Suppose $T$ is Souslin. Does there exist a forcing notion $\mathbb P$ such that in $V^\mathbb P$, $T$ is still Aronszajn but no longer Souslin and also not special?
I'm also curious about these questions in the case of fat Aronszajn trees: Aronszajn trees with the requirement of countable levels removed. The same ccc specializing forcing works to make such trees special so under MA all such trees are special. I'm curious whether non-special fat Aronszajn trees can be built by hand using forcing.
Question 3: What forcings will add a fat, non-special Aronszajn tree?
 - 2
 $\begingroup$ In these notes math.cmu.edu/~eschimme/Appalachian/EisworthMooreNotes.pdf a forcing to kill an A-tree is provided. It answers your second question. (Page 17.) $\endgroup$ – Not Mike Jan 12 '18 at 22:18
 - $\begingroup$ Regarding question 2, I suggest the following: suppose $T$ is the given Souslin tree and suppose all of its levels be countable. Let $P$ be the forcing notion for adding an antichain into $T$ using conditions which are finite antichains of $T$. The forcing is c.c.c and adds an uncountable antichain in $T$. I think $T$ is not special in the extension but I did not check it. $\endgroup$ – Mohammad Golshani Jan 14 '18 at 4:52
 - $\begingroup$ I may mention that the work of Laver-shelah to kill all $\aleph_2$-Soulin trees uses similar forcing using countable antichains. $\endgroup$ – Mohammad Golshani Jan 14 '18 at 4:52
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Mike thank you I'll check that out! $\endgroup$ – Corey Bacal Switzer Jan 15 '18 at 13:31
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Golshani Thanks as well. For both of the forcings you suggest do you know of a reference I can look at? $\endgroup$ – Corey Bacal Switzer Jan 15 '18 at 13:31
Regarding your comment before Question 3, you mean all such trees with size $<\mathfrak{m}$ are special. In particular, it doesn't say anything about trees of size $\geq 2^{\omega}$. Indeed, $T(\mathbb{R})$ where elements are bounded well ordered subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ ordered by end-extension is not special. It definitely has no uncountable branches.
For question 1, you can first add a Suslin tree (there are various ways of doing this), of which the most straightfoward one is to use countable well-pruned trees with end-extension (due to Jech). For the second step (which also gives yet another answer to the second question), you can pick $S\subset \omega_1$ that is stationary and co-stationary, and use a Shelah style forcing $Q(T,S)$ to make $T$ $S$-st-special (this means there exists a regressive function $f$ whose domain is $T\restriction S$ such that $t

A connected farm is an architectural design common in the New England Region of the United States, and England and Wales in the United Kingdom. North American connected farms date back to the 17th century, their British counterparts have also existed for several centuries. New England connected farms are characterized by a farm house, kitchen, barn, or other structures connected in a rambling fashion. This style evolved from carrying out farm work while remaining sheltered from winter weather. In the United Kingdom there are four distinct types of connected farmsteads, all dissimilar to the New England style.
New England connected farm
The typical New England connected farm complex consists of the "big house", which acts as the standard family living quarters, connected to the Big House is the "little house", which contains the kitchen area. Next to it is the "back house", which was traditionally a carriage or wagon house. Connected to the back house is a standard livestock barn. This style was banned in many areas due to fire concerns, but the bans were lifted in the 18th century. Originally, all four buildings would have parallel roof lines. In later years (post-1800), when kitchens became more of a room of the house, the Little House became an ell off the Big House.
Connected barns describe the type of barn integrated into other structures on a farm in the New England region of the United States. The New England connected farmstead, as many architectural historians have termed the style, consisted of numerous farm buildings all connected into one continuous structure. Houses, ells, sheds, barns, and other outbuildings all were combined to form one long building. Architectural styles varied, from Greek to Gothic Revival. The connected farmstead is unique in not only its connection of house to barn to shed, and so forth, but also because the architectural style of the home was often used on the other structures, including barns, connected to it.
Noted historian and architect Thomas Hubka commented in his 1984 book, Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn, that:
"those who built connected farms changed their farms by extending the architectural style and order of the house to their barns. This was a truly radical development by New England farmers, and it is this characteristic, more than that of house and barn connection itself, that is one of the unique aspects of New England connected farm architecture."
Wilbur Zelinsky, an American geographer, undertook a survey of existing connected farmsteads in New England in 1958. Through his travels and survey he was able to determine, to some level of accuracy, the distribution of connected barns and farmsteads in New England. Zelinsky found that the connected farm was most frequently found in specific parts of New England. Namely in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, where connected barns frequently occurred almost over the entire states. Indeed, the style still persists in popular American architecture. Connected farms were also frequently observed by Zelinsky in southern Maine, eastern Vermont, and portions of northern Connecticut.
In the United Kingdom
Connected farm buildings are not confined to North America, connected structures have existed in England and Wales for centuries. The architectural historian Ronald Brunskill identified four key types of connected farm structures found in England and Wales. The longhouse is generally two connected buildings which result from the addition of more and more partitions, thus subdividing the structure, or from the outright construction of a new building adjacent to the original. Longhouses usually have cross passages and communication flows freely through the structures. The laithe house confines the family and the farm building under the same roof. However, there are no cross passages and no intercommunication between structures. Typical configurations include farm buildings used for both livestock and grain/hay storage. The bastle house is an arrangement which places the living quarters above the farm building and, usually, the farm animals. This type of connected farm was common as a defensive arrangement; living quarters were located high above for security reasons. In what Brunskill called the "simply connected arrangement" the domestic structure is connected to any type of farm building.

The name Ben-hur in the Bible
Whether Ben-hur is a Biblical name has been disputed (because the man named Ben-hur might simply have been a "son of Hur", which is what Ben-hur means). But the Hebrew construct ben hur occurs in 1 Kings 4:8, where Ben-hur is mentioned among the twelve deputies of king Solomon of Israel. The only detail we know of this Ben-hur is that he was stationed in the region of Ephraim.
Etymology of the name Ben-hur
The name Ben-hur consists of two elements. The first part is the word בן (ben), generally meaning son:
The second part of the name Ben-hur is the same as the name Hur. The origin and meaning of the name Hur is not known for sure but that's not because there are no candidates: In fact, there are so many possibilities that we don't know which one is the right one:
The name Ben-hur may mea Son Of Hur, or it may mean One Of The Burnings/Nobles/Holes/Whites.
For a meaning of the name Hur, Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names proposes Cavern. BDB Theological Dictionary says to have no clue, and NOBSE Study Bible Name List either takes the name Hur from another language, or bends the meaning of Noble or Freeman into Splendor.

Long before Kerrygold was ever heard of - in fact, as far back as written records go - dairying has played a starring role in Ireland. In the old days, Irishmen kept cattle for milk more than for meat, and status was derived from the bounty of your herd.
How did cows become the cornerstone of Irish wealth? Simple. Ireland was made for milk. It has everything you need to make a cow happy: good soil, a mild climate, moisture-bearing southwesterly winds, and all the green grass you can chew.
It didn't take long to figure out that happy cows produce amazing milk, which can then be churned into unbeatable butter. As early as the 17th century, Ireland was sharing its butter with the world. Irish boats were being met at the dock by salivating Swedes, Danes, Portuguese, Frenchmen, Spaniards and American colonists - just as Kerrygold butter is today.
The butter is so appealingly golden that it looks as though it has been colored, although the color is natural, coming from the beta-carotene in the intense green Irish grass consumed by the cows. Made in the style of all premium European butters, Kerrygold's higher fat content gives its butter a distinctive richness. The foil wrapper preserves freshness and premium quality

About Seed Beads
Seed beads, also known as rocailles, are versatile beads used in embroidery, jewelry stringing, and all kinds of bead weaving applications. The smallest seed beads can go under trade names such as Antiques or Delicas, or they can be simply designated by size, where the bigger the number the smaller the bead. For example, 11 0 seed beads are very small (2mm), but 6 0 seed beads are bigger (4mm).
Although simple bead stringing projects are always a possibility, weaving with seed beads -- which can be done with a loom or off-loom -- is getting more and more popular. Bead weaving is nothing new, it has been practiced by Native Americans for centuries, and enjoyed a surge of popularity among Victorian women.
A common weaving technique for seed beads is peyote stitch. See our videos referenced above for demonstrations of this and other common bead weaving styles. Weaving involves the use of needles, so we've included the most appropriate beading needles above as well. Seed beads can also be used in a variety of sewing, threading, or wire projects.
Fireline thread is very good for bead weaving. It is pre-waxed, doesn't fray, and has very strong tensile strength. However, Nymo thread is good for loomwork because it's very thin, which is an advantage when your project requires that the needle pass through the same bead hole many times. Dandyline from Beadalon is also a nice thread that is strong, waterproof, and does not fray.
Basically, seed beads can be used in any design, whether it's loom weaving, threading, or embroidery, whenever you want to add small points of color or intricate detail. Other ideas include a bead-encrusted picture frame, monogrammed bags, and beaded zipper pulls. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!

What do crabs eat?
Crabs live all over the world. Some kinds, or species, live in salt water, others live in fresh water. Some even spend all their time on dry land.
Most crabs have many natural enemies, or predators. Birds attack smaller crabs, sometimes carrying them high into the air and then dropping them on boulders to crack their shells.
Fish with powerful, shell-crunching jaws also eat crabs.
Many kinds of mammals, from seals to raccoons, also look forward to a crab dinner.
What does a crab eat? Crabs eat small bits of plant and animal material that they find in the water and along the shoreline.

The Richest Man in Babylon – Book Summary
Richest Man in Babylon Cover
Follow Us & Share!!
This book is created from the ancient tablet found in the rich city of Babylon. This tablet consists of timeless principles on finance and considered a cure to the lean purse problem. It is said the most of the famous principles of investing and finance are derived from this tablet.
Any person who wants to learn personal finance principles in short stories should read this book. This covers topics about luck in a person's life to things to consider when lending principles. The principles mentioned in the tablet made Babylon a rich city along with the people living in it.
The Richest Man in Babylon
This chapter starts off with a story about two friends, Bansir and Kobi, discussing how they dreamt about having lots of wealth. Both friends dreamt about having lots of gold coins to make their purses fat but till today failed to do it.
They start to wonder the reason behind it but fail to realize. Kobi witnesses a rich person in a golden chariot and clothes made of fine silk wonder about his secret for his wealth. Bansir soon realized that the rich person was their school Arkad and was also the richest man in Babylon.
Bansir and Kobi then decide to take the guidance and understand the secret behind the wealth. Arkad being childhood friend agrees to share his secret with them.
Arkad mentioned that
 - Every person when receiving the salary should at least save 10% of the income before paying off the bills or making any purchases.
 - The saved money should be put at work where it starts multiplying itself and further generating more wealth.
 - Advice is one thing that everyone gives for free, but advice should be taken from individuals from expertise in their respective fields only. Eg investing tips on finance should be taken from a finance expert and not a gambler.
 - Staying away from the investment opportunity that promises exorbitant returns as those are huge risks and way to lose the money. A small return with assured safe investment is always better.
Cure for the Lean Purse
 This chapter describes to the reader the ways to increase saving. Once King of Babylon was facing the problem of poverty and the decline of trade in the kingdom. Facing this problem the King called up Arkad once again to solve this problem.
Arkad along with King decided to share the financial learning with the people in the kingdom that he had learned all along with his life. Arkad starts his story mentioning that he had started with a humble beginning.
For every money you receive, keep one-tenth of the money and eventually, it will increase money in saving which will help you feel good.
To have a clear understanding between necessary expenses with desire, if one does not have a clear budgeting system in place will eventually have empty pockets by the end of the month. So have a budget for expenses for and clear understanding of necessary expenses. Limit your expenses to 90% of your earning.
Saving 10 % of earnings is the start. The next step is investing the money so that it starts multiplying itself. This starts producing a stream of income contributing to one's wealth.
Learning to guard small amounts of money before handling large amounts of money. Not being misleading to make huge wealth rapidly.
Ensuring a future income. A person should plan certain investments or provisions that may endure safely for many years. Provide in advance for the needs of the growing age and the protection of the family.Increasing your earning ability cultivate the power by studying and becoming wiser, to become more skillful. This will increase the wealth of the individual.
Understanding Luck
This story starts with King of Babylon along with his advisors one fine evening discussing luck. King wanted to understand luck and if there was any way to attract it.
Each subject in the meeting mentioned instances where some had luck and some misfortune. Then the discussion turned to create money through gambling. Most of the time creating riches from gambling is not possible. The gambling house creates odds in such a way that the person playing has more probability of losing money compared to winning the money.
As the discussion continued the conclusion was drawn that good luck comes to those who accept the opportunity. Most of the time people are not able to take action on the opportunity and fall prey to procrastination.
While luck follows in such a way that the men take quick action on the opportunity desiring to be lucky. The spirit of procrastination follows men that they tend to delayed action and in the event, the opportunity is lost.
Once a person understands the procrastination and masters it then he is truly on the path of creating riches for himself. The ending note of this chapter is the men who take action are favored by the goddess of luck.

The Five Laws of Wealth
Here is the story where the richest man in Babylon Arkad tests the wealth management skills of his son named Nomasir. Nomasir was asked to prove his earning and management skill after which the wealth created by Arkad will be passed on to him.
While Nomasir embarked on this journey he was given some gold coin and the tablet which mentioned the five laws of wealth. Nomasir lost all the gold coins which were handed to him. The son persisted and followed the five principles of wealth and returned with bags filled with gold.
The five laws of wealth
 1. The more money is saved, the more readily it comes in increased quantities. The money which is saved earns more money, and it earns more & more.
 2. Every man who saves some money aside, opportunity comes for its most profitable use that it surprisingly multiplies itself.
 3. Money clings to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.
 5. Money flees from the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who follows the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience desires in investment.
Gold Lender of Babylon
This story teaches about lending. This solves the dilemma regarding lending and how to lend money or invest money in the business. The story revolves around the spear maker named Rodan in the city of Babylon. Rodan was gifted gold coins by the King for his craftsmanship.
Rodan's sister came to know about this and asked Rodan to lend that gold coin so her husband could start a business. Rodan was not sure whether this investment was the best option.
Rodan went to a moneylender named Mathon who would lend money to people to start their business. Rodan wanted to seek the counsel of the expert. Mathon seeing that Random wanted to make the best use of the money was a delight and shared his wisdom.
Rules of Lending
 - Help friends in such a way that it will not bring in the burden of friends on to yourself
 - When lending, always secure a token as security so that if the person fails to pay back the money, the lender's money is not lost.
 - The safest loans are those whose possessions are of more value than the one they desire.
 - Lending money to people always asks about their plan of repaying the money back. Check the knowledge of the person and their source of money generation.
 - Never be swayed by mentions or obligation to trust money to other people.
 - Not investing money in risky opportunities where there is a chance of losing money is always better than investing in these opportunities.

Tablets from the Richest Man in Babylon
Along the chapter, the author mentions that his archaeological team found ancient clay tablets. The clay tablets mentioned words for leading a life of happiness and success.
Words from Tablets
 - A man should keep doing the deeds which makes it worthwhile for his nation & people. This in return will get respect from the nation and people.
 - Taking good care of wife and family as they add in the additional strength to man's vision
 - seeking easy wealth is the way to find disaster and to see oneself in the debts
 - If you truly seek to undo your mistake and ask for forgiveness with clear intentions most of the time you will receive forgiveness.
This book uncovered that people who desired wealth had an understanding of how money works. People of Babylon discovered the money principle which made the people and the city the richest city at its time. It is really amazing how the money principles have stayed the same for ages and are used even today with few tweaks.

It's snow problem for hardy Alpacas
Buy this photo » Rocky the Alpaca
THE snow has meant more rations and warmer bedding for most of the animals at Millet's Farm Centre near Abingdon.
But Alpacas Rocky and Eismann have also been showing off the skills that make them some of the world's hardiest animals.
While the county shivers in freezing temperatures, Rocky and Eismann have been keeping warm thanks to their thick Peruvian fur, or fibre.
And they've also been using their heads – and their noses and tongues – to reach the tasty grass buried beneath the snow.
Millet's outdoor animal keeper, Malcolm Skinner, 46, explained: "Alpacas are used to extremely cold temperatures, originating as they do from the Andes mountains.
"While most of the other animals here have been eating extra hay, Rocky and Eismann prefer to scratch and nuzzle, using their toes to burrow into the snow, before searching the green grass out with their mouths and long tongues."
Alpacas come from the highest regions of the Andes mountains in Peru and are bred mostly for their fibre – a thick, silky fur which not only keeps them warm, but is also used for making very soft, knitted and woven items.
Mr Skinner continued: "We have been giving the ponies, guinea pigs, sheep, goats and pigs extra warm bedding and more food than usual, but Rocky and Eismann are undeterred by this weather.
"People love seeing their woolly coats and although they fight a bit amongst themselves and are not that fond of dogs, they are pretty friendly animals."

This climate is ideal for people who can't stand or don't like the sweltering heat and those who like to relax on the beach in June or September-October, considering it an ideal time. Our dear children also feel much more comfortable in this climate!
Biarritz's unique climate
This natural "air-conditioning" effect in Biarritz is mainly due to 2 effects :
1 - Biarritz's particular location at the bottom of the amphitheatre of the Bay of Biscay, facing the Atlantic Ocean, which gives:
- The constant presence of a cool breeze circulating in the bay, even at the height of summer.
- The constant presence of the famous warm Gulf Stream current brings warm water from Mexico and the Caribbean's southern coasts. On entering the bay, this warm current is "stuck" here, unable to flow northwards. Thus, the Gulf Stream acts as an air conditioner for Biarritz while making the coastal waters extremely pleasant for swimming (for example, in southern Portugal, the water remains colder because the warm current never reaches it).
2 - Biarritz is "wedged" between the ocean and the southern Pyrenees:
- Thus, winds from the south rise towards the Pyrenees' summits, up to 3000m, where they lose humidity and go down to Biarritz while warming up (Foehn effect). Biarritz is therefore regularly swept by warm, dry winds from the south, which mix with the milder, more humid ocean breezes off the coast. The dry southerly winds contribute to the fact that Biarritz often has the highest winter temperatures in France, even at Christmas time.
The weather in Biarritz
- The weather in Biarritz in April: air - about +17°C, water - about +13°C.
- The weather in Biarritz in May: air - about +21°C, water - about +16°C.
The May holidays are always sunny, flowers and trees bloom everywhere, and temperatures reach +20+21. The nights are still cool, but you can sunbathe and start swimming in the gradually warming ocean during the day.
By the way, spring is the hortensias season in Biarritz. Flowers are everywhere, and it's absolutely magic!
- The weather in Biarritz in June: air - about +23°C, water - about +20°C.
- The weather in Biarritz in July: air - about +25°C, water - about +22°C.
- The weather in Biarritz in August: air - about +26°C, water - about +23°C.
The average temperature in the shade in Biarritz is +26°C in August and +23°C in June and September. Naturally, it is warmer in full sunshine, up to +30°C and more. But thanks to the humidity, there are always clouds forming, which, with a light cool breeze, makes these hot months as comfortable as possible.
- The weather in Biarritz in September: air - about +23°C, water - about +21°C.
- The weather in Biarritz in October: air - about +21°C, water - about +18°C.
In October, the average temperature in Biarritz is around +21°C in the shade. This is a time of year when people spend a lot of time on the beach, and it is the time of year when the French media tend to talk about Biarritz as the hottest city in the country.
About the rain in Biarritz
It doesn't rain often and not for long in Biarritz during the summer period, but it rains a lot! It is a tropical rain that makes you run very fast to seek shelter to not get wet in a second. But as a rule, an hour later, the sun comes out as suddenly as it left, and the city and the ocean begin to shine again. This is why Biarritz is bathed in greenery all year round and is famous for its lush hydrangeas. The vegetation remains vividly green even in July and August when Provence is burnt and dried by the sun.
Water temperature and purity in Biarritz
The water temperatures around Biarritz are pleasant and comfortable for swimming, thanks to the Gulf Stream, which carries the warm waters of the coasts of southern Mexico and the Caribbean. The water is much warmer here than in Portugal, for example, where this current does not occur. The average summer temperature of the coastal ocean waters in Biarritz is +23°С. Tourists bathe in Biarritz from early June to late October, and locals have no problem bathing in May and November. Another essential aspect, of which all the locals are proud, is the ocean waters' purity. Here, the water is constantly in motion; it travels and renews itself. The inhabitants pay great attention to the purity of the water. They do not bathe in most parts of the Mediterranean, considering that it is not clean enough compared to their hometown's waters.
The climate and oysters
The mild climate and clean waters of the Bay of Biscay allow oysters to reproduce and develop in ideal conditions for them. This is impossible, for example, in areas where the sea is warmer, and the water is stagnant. A few kilometres north of Biarritz, you will discover a real paradise of fresh oysters. And the oysters that are served to you have been fished only a few hours earlier.
The waves in Biarritz
The waves of Biarritz always offer a beautiful spectacle beyond imagination. Seeing it, some people dream of surfing, while others may be afraid. But Biarritz and the Basque Coast are lucky again - because here we also find beaches that are completely protected from the waves and where the water is calm and very welcoming. So, absolutely everyone will find their happiness here! For example, all children in Biarritz learn to swim directly in the ocean, on beaches where the ocean looks more like a swimming pool :)

NORTHERN NEW YORK
Genealogical and family history of northern New York: a record of the achievements of her people
in the making of a commonwealth and the founding of a nation.
New York: Lewis Historical Pub. Co. 1910.
Transcribed by Coralynn Brown
The origin of the surname Burroughs or Burrows is in dispute. Some derive it from a Roman personal name introduced into Britain and thence to Ireland and Wales. It has also been said that the family takes its name from the town of Borough, Leicestershire. In any case the name is probably a place name, and the family has been of some note from the early days of surnames. In 1386 John Burroughs was rector of Collingham, Nottinghamshire, appointed July 1, 1384, chancellor of Cambridge University, of which he was a graduate.
Another John Burroughs, a Benedictine living in 1340, was a writer of some distinction. There have been many noted men in the army, navy and church in England bearing the name.
(I) Jeremiah Burroughs settled in Scituate, Mass., as early as 1645. He served against the Narragansett Indians in 1647. He married, May, 1651, a daughter of Thomas Hewett (also given as Hewes. See Pope's Pioneers of Mass.) He removed to Marshfield, and was drowned in 1660. His widow was appointed administratrix for herself and children.
Children, born in Scituate:
Jeremiah, born March 11, 1651-52.
John, Nov., 1653, mentioned below.
Elizabeth, March 5, 1654-55.
Mary, Dec. 2, 1656.
(II) John, son of Jeremiah Burroughs, was born in Scituate, in Nov. 1653. (See Burroughs family, by L. A. Burroughs, 1894). He settled at Enfield, then Massachusetts, now Connecticut, and died there in 1693. He was one of the first settlers in 1680, and owned the fifth lot south of Ferry Lane. Another account (Enfield records) gives his death as of 1691, and age forty-two years. The date was 1693, as shown by his will, dated in 1691, and presented Sept. 2, 1693, bequeathing to his wife Hannah and children.
John, mentioned below.
(III) John (2), son of John (1) Burroughs, was born in Enfield, about 1685. He married Sarah Tyler, and they removed to Windsor, Conn., in 1718, and bought land there. Another account states that he married Sarah Rumrill, daughter of Simon. A deed of 1720 gives the name of his wife as Elizabeth, showing probably that he had a second wife. His will shows that his wife was Sarah in 1756. Sarah Tyler may have been his first wife and Sarah Rumrill his third wife.
He was called ensign, a mlitary title. His will was dated Dec. 22, 1756, inventory dated Aug. 3, 1757. He had deeded his land to his heirs.
Children, born in what is now Ellington, Conn.:
John, 1711, mentioned below.
Sarah, 1714, married M. Chandler.
Hannah, 1716, married William Booth.
Simon, 1719, married Lydia Porter.
(IV) John (3), son of John (2) Burroughs, was born in Ellington, Windsor, Conn., in 1711. He married Sarah Abby, of Enfield. He removed to Tolland, and thence in May 1766, to Alstead, New Hampshire. He was a farmer.

Colonel David Hobart's regiment. General John Stark's command, 1777.
His brothers, Joel and Timothy, served also in Shepard's company. He doubtless had other service, the record of which is not identified.

Advances in Water Resources 23 (2000) 483-492
The generalized integral transform technique (GITT) is applied to solve the one-dimensional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) in heterogeneous porous media coupled with either linear or nonlinear sorption and decay. When both sorption and decay are linear, analytical solutions are obtained using the GITT for one-dimensional ADEs with spatially and temporally variable flow and dispersion coefficient and arbitrary initial and boundary conditions. When either sorption or decay is nonlinear the solutions to ADEs with the GITT are hybrid analytical-numerical. In both linear and nonlinear cases, the forward and inverse integral transforms for the problems described in the paper are apparent and straightforward. Some illustrative examples with linear sorption and decay are presented to demonstrate the application and check the accuracy of the derived analytical solutions. The derived hybrid analytical-numerical solutions are checked against a numerical approach and demonstratively applied to a nonlinear transport example, which simulates a simplified system of iron oxide bioreduction with nonlinear sorption and nonlinear reaction kinetics.


Exploring Guangzhou: 4 Interesting Things To Do
There are many cities around the world known for being busy trade destinations and Guangzhou happens to be one of them.
Despite the busyness within the trade area of this city, the rest of the streets have quite a different atmosphere, which is laidback and calm.

2. Visit Shamian Island
things to do in Guangzhou: Shamian Island
The trade industry was important on this island until the middle of the 19th century, and while some of that history is still present, visitors can tell that the colonial influence is everywhere.

The French Catholic Church is one of the main attractions on the island, as are the row of houses that used to be known as the Thirteen Factories.
3. Visit the Chimelong Zoo

While the animals are wild, visitors are allowed to interact with a few of them. Although there are many animals, the most popular one is the pandas, and the only area of the country that has more than they do here is Chengdu. There is also a crocodile farm with at least one hundred thousand crocodiles that many people are fascinated by. The amusement park has some amazing rides, as does the waterpark, so visitors may want to plan on spending at least a day here.
4. Take One of the Pearl River Cruises
things to do in Guangzhou: Pearl River Cruises
The Pearl River is the third largest river in the country and one of the best ways for visitors to see the city of Guangzhou is to take a cruise along this river.
