Say I have a sample of some alkali metal - Rubidium for example. A sample of Rubidium consists of approximately 27% $^{87}$Rb and 73% $^{85}$Rb. Does the vapor pressure of each isotope individual necessarily have to be in the same proportion? More specifically, assuming I have enough Rubidium around that I have enough atoms of each isotope to reach the saturated vapor pressure, is there any physical reason why the ratio of the vapor pressures would match their relative abundances?
I guess this is coming from this perspective - the linear absorption spectrum for a sample of natural rubidium at a specific fine transition (D2 line - 5S1/2 ->5P3/2 if you are interested) looks like image below, the $^{87}$Rb peaks (outer) are clearly smaller than the $^{85}$Rb peaks (inner), and this amplitude ratio is directly related to their natural abundances. If the atoms are in a gas, what forces their vapor pressure to have the same ratio as their relative abundance?
enter image description here
Along a similar line of questioning. A sample of Rb will naturally have some trace amount of Cs in it. The saturated number density of Cs at room temperature is ~$10^9$ atoms per cm$^3$, and I'm looking at a volume of say 1cm$^3$. If I have a droplet of 1 gram of Rb in the volume, which is.001 moles, even at.001% impurity I have $>10^{17}$ atoms of cesium in the sample, clearly enough to reach saturated density. -Does this imply that you can do spectroscopy on a volume with Rb and obtain the same spectrum as a volume with a droplet of Cs in it? If not, what prevents the Cs impurity in Rb to reach full saturation.
*Note: Perhaps I should make it clear : The linear absorption spectrum is proportional to the theoretical absorption (for a single atom) times the number density of atoms in the sample. The relative amplitudes of the peaks are therefore a proportional to the relative abundances of the two isotopes.

From the logic side - if there were much difference in wapor pressure between isotopes, isotope separation would be much easier process than we see now. Surely there is a difference, but not something you can see on spectrum.
Can't comment on Cs saturation though.

I posed this question to some coworkers outside of physics.se here is the first order answer that satisfied me.
Evaporation is effectively a statistical process that is determined by the probability of a certain atom from escaping its liquid bonds and becoming free. The process does not care about what atom evaporates (in the approximation that the two isotopes have the same mass and binding energy - which is reasonable), it effectively becomes a probability problem. You have a bag of atoms, some colored blue and some colored red. The probability of picking a red atom out of the bag (having 85Rb escape the liquid and go free) is given by its relative abundance to blue atoms, assuming that there are enough atoms around that the atoms lost to the vapor do not significantly affect the ratio of isotopes in the the liquid, we would expect, statistically, the abundance of isotopes in the vapor would match that of the liquid.
For Cs impurities, the same logic applies, although you have to modify a little bit due to the heavier weight of the Cs atom and potentially a difference in enthalpy of vaporization.

Women have 39% smaller pension pots
New research has revealed the pensions gender gap is more than double the difference between men and women's average earnings, with women having significantly smaller pension pots.
Profile Pensions' analysis of 20,000 customers discovered the gap is such that it means men can expect to retire on an average of £21,800 per year compared to women, for whom it is £16,900.
Worryingly, one in six women will retire with an income lower than £9,998, which social policy and research charity Joseph Rowntree Foundation states should be the minimum amount for a single pensioner.
The pension gender gap was found to be at its widest in Northern Scotland, where men have an average pension value of £41,603. This is nearly double the size of the average woman's, which is £20,978.
The region with the lowest pension gender gap is Greater London, where the value of the average man's pension pot is 30% higher than the average woman's (£48,778 compared to £34,174).
Overall, the report found UK women hold 39% less in their pension pots than men.
The gap is attributed to women being paid less, and contributing a correspondingly smaller amount each month into their pension savings.
With the report finding differences in pension contributions can be as high as 50% in some cases, it also blamed the fact more women work in part-time employment, plus the fact they are more likely to take time out of the workplace to have children.
In addition, it showed more women were likely to be employed at below the auto-enrolment threshold of £10,000 per annum.
Commenting on the research, Michelle Gribbin, chief investment officer at Profile Pensions, said: "What we see with these findings, sadly, is that the gender pay gap and the gender pension gap go hand in hand."
She said: "Men, on average, earn more than women, and therefore can save and receive larger contributions from employers into their pension pot. It's clear there's much more to be done to help women gain the security they need going into retirement."
She added: "Under current UK law, employers contribute 3% to the employee's pension pot, 4% comes direct from their payroll and the remaining 1% is made up by tax relief. Employees are able to decrease or increase this anytime that they see fit."


Liquid Nitrogen Is Beautiful When It's Dancing Across Gasoline
Instead of mixing, it just spins a beautiful trail of gas.
Amber, Visual arts, Painting, Art paint,
Pouring liquid nitrogen on another liquid won't result in an instant block of ice, nor even a slushie. Ultimately, it'll have very little effect on the liquid below but, as YouTuber carsandwater illustrates, it will look very cool while it is busy having no effect.
In this random but mesmerizing video, you'll see a few spoonfuls of liquid nitrogen dance around on the surface of gasoline, rubbing alcohol, and water.
Because the liquid nitrogen is less dense than the water, it just floats on top instead of mixing in. And while it does, it sometimes forms a tiny bit of ice beneath it, which acts as an insulator and keeps the warm liquid somewhat separate from the cold nitrogen. In the meantime, the liquid nitrogen just floats around, spinning and emitting some really cool vapor shapes as it evaporates.
It's not quite as flashy as using liquid nitrogen to fight against a flamethrower, but it's probably a little safer.

How can I tell whether I should be using Dentro vs. Adentro? I've read that they both mean 'inside' and looked at some examples, but I still can't always figure out which one to use. Are there any good rules to learn the difference, or examples that illustrate this difference particularly well? Also, is the word 'en' sometimes used to mean 'inside' as well?

Both dentro and adentro mean "inside" but the latter is used with verbs of movement. For example:
 1. Nos fuimos adentro. —> (The verb "ir" means "to go"; movement);
 2. El perro está dentro del coche. —> (no movement involved).
You can see the official reference here for dentro and for adentro.
As it is said in the articles, in some parts of America, sometimes "adentro" is used when "dentro" should have been adopted.
"En" can also be used in the same way as "in" is used in English, so you can use "en" (but "dentro" emphasizes it more)
El perro está en el coche.

Ah. Es similar a "dónde" y "adónde", ¿no? – user682 Apr 25 '12 at 4:18
_USER_ Sí. Lo mismo pasa con "fuera" y "afuera". – Javi Apr 25 '12 at 8:29
Both are adverbs of location and both can be translated as inside, the difference is that dentro is used to express in the interior, inside and adentro goes with verbs indicating movement and it is used to express towards the interior. Some examples:
Dentro de mi corazón (inside my heart).
Lo llevé hacia adentro (I took it inside).

Is it safe to say it's the same as the difference between in/inside and into? – Flimzy Dec 7 '11 at 2:12
_USER_: I'd say yes at least in the cases I could think of, but I am not a native English speaker, so I wouldn't put my hand in the fire for that "yes". – Gonzalo Medina Dec 7 '11 at 3:28
Can't you also say "Estoy aquí adentro"? – jrdioko Dec 7 '11 at 17:29
_USER_: yes; adentro sometimes is also used as en la parte interior (in the interior), but this use is common in certain regions of Latin America. – Gonzalo Medina Dec 7 '11 at 17:34
In addition to the excellent answers given let me point out that dentro can also be used to denote the end of a period of time as seen from present: llámame dentro de quince minutos. Which is roughly the same as llámame en quince minutos, while there is no such exception for adentro which is always location/movement-based.
share|improve this answer
"Dentro" should only be used in the prepositional phrase (frase prepositiva) "dentro de":
La guitarra está dentro de su funda.
(The guitar is inside its case.)
On the other hand, "adentro" should only be used as a standalone adverb:
La guitarra está adentro.
(The guitar is inside.)
In short: "Dentro de " means "inside of ", while "adentro" means simply "inside".
share|improve this answer
In addition to the other answers: dentro implies inside in relation to a specific place (stated after the preposition "de" or by context).
El niño está dentro de la casa.
Mi estuche está dentro de la sala.
At least in Chile, adentro de is very uncommon, this "dentro de"/"adentro de" comparison also shows it.
By the way, the rules for dentro/adentro can be used for fuera/afuera.

Michaela deputy has controversial start at his new school
Barry Smith
Barry Smith, deputy headteacher at Michaela Academy for three years has had a rough start in his new job as principal of the former Great Yarmouth High School, now relaunched by Inspiration Trust as Great Yarmouth Chartered Academy.
Smith has hit local and national headlines as a result of importing Michaela methods into a school with its own ethos and history, rather than a brand new free school as Michaela was.
Parents admit that things were not perfect at GYHS but some are objecting strongly to the school rules and disciplinary methods as well as the tone of Smith's communications, written and verbal, with parents.
Parents have set up a Facebook page 'Yarmouth High Worried Parents' which currently has more than 1,000 members. A fascinating exchange of views is taking place on the page which cover the specific rules and their implementation but go wider to look at the rights of children and parents. At present pupils are also making contributions on the page and opinions vary with some welcoming the 'calm' that the rules bring and others finding themselves at the receiving end of the demerits. Similarly some parents are keen to challenge, if not the rules, the way they are being implemented. Parents with children with special needs are concerned about whether their child will be able to follow rules such as 'tracking the teacher' where every child has to have his or her eyes on the teacher throughout the lesson. Children on the autistic spectrum often have a problem with making and maintaining eye contact.
The local authority has set up and investigation into the school's exclusion policy which had not been updated to reflect recent DfE guidelines LINK
Tomorrow parents are to meet with Mr Smith. It should be interesting.
Anonymous said...
Does "tracking the teacher" apply to practical lessons like chemistry? I can foresee "health and safety" problems if it does!!!

'Parents are to meet with Mr Smith.'
According to the BBC East news website, a spokesman for the Inspiration Trust said: "The academy will be holding a meeting for all parents in the coming days so they can hear first-hand what Great Yarmouth Charter Academy is really all about."
They don't just bully the pupils, they try to brain-wash their parents as well! Will they succeed?
The BBC report includes this from a parent about Barry Smith:
'Seeing a parent and child crying outside the school, Mr Seal told the BBC he politely asked the head: "'Excuse me, why are you doing this to children?' His reply was 'If you don't like it, get out.'"

I saw a report a while ago that Michaela got an 'outstanding' from Ofsted. I assumed that this was inevitable as it's a 'free' school and Birbalthingy was Gove and the Tories' darling. Apart from the crap nature of Ofsted inspections, Ofsted people would know that an 'outstanding' was what was expected of them and to deny the Birb one would be like failing to clap and burst into tears of joy when Kim Jong-Un walks into the room.
I certainly hope I'm right. I'd hate to have to question my prejudices. Can anyone enlighten me?

Address Number Methodology
If you need a physical address for a new structure, call the 9-1-1 Administrative Office at _PHONE_. A "physical address" is also known as an "official 9-1-1 address." When you call the 9-1-1 Administrative Office, make sure you have a physical address for a nearby structure to help us locate your site on the 9-1-1 Map. We do not assign addresses to open land … your structure must at least be staked out so we can identify the approximate location of the center of the structure.
The addressing methodology used in Franklin County was adopted to enable our "first responders" to reach citizens requiring emergency services in the shortest time possible with the least amount of confusion. For public safety reasons, we strive for consistency in our addressing of structures throughout Franklin County. However, there is not complete consistency across the County. For the most part, the cities, towns and villages in the County took responsibility for addressing the structures in their communities and the methodologies used are not the same in many cases.
Road Address Determination
Generally, primary structures in the County are addressed to the road they face unless there is no immediately identifiable access to the structure. Consideration is given to the means of "access" to the structure if access is a substantial distance from the road it faces. The optimal situation is when a structure faces the same road from which the driveway to the structure extends. In the event that a structure is a substantial distance from the road it faces and there is no driveway from that road but there is a driveway from another road, the structure will be addressed to the road with the access.
Address Number Determination
On East/West Roads, odd numbers are on the north side and even numbers are on the south side
On North/South Roads, odd numbers are on the west side and even numbers are on the east side
Address numbers increase as you travel north and as you travel east.
Address numbers decrease as you travel south and as you travel west.
How You Can Help "First Responders"
Make sure your Address Number is displayed so that it can be seen from the road. If your structure is a significant distance from the road, display your Address Number on your mail box or on a sign post at the end of your driveway.

ZTE in partnership with Ansaldo STS has completed a communication-based train control (CBTC) over LTE test. Ansaldo STS, which specialises in the global signalling and integrated transport systems markets for both passengers (railway/mass transit) and freight, provided the CBTC signalling equipment, while ZTE provided the LTE equipment and devices required for the test.
The test result shows that ZTE's LTE technology met the requirement of CBTC. The test covered scenarios such as static condition, handover, failover and load with static and dynamic configuration.
The key performance indicators (for example, packet loss, latency, maximal number of users, system start-up and shutdown time) fully comply with the requirement of CBTC transmission, ZTE said.
Prior to the lab test, ZTE and Ansaldo STS had already verified CBTC over LTE in the Hangzhou Metro (pictured) using the automatic train operation (ATO) mode. This field verification confirmed that key performance indicators, such as packet loss and latency, fully met the requirement of CBTC.
LTE is being touted as a possible successor to the widely used GSM-R communication-based train control system used on European railways. However, with new GSM-R systems still being deployed, LTE is not expected to be widely used in Europe for at least a decade if not longer.

What you are trying to do is usually called'solar envelope computation'. This paper present a method to compute it:
Eugenio Morello, Carlo Ratti, Sunscapes: 'Solar envelopes' and the analysis of urban DEMs, Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2009, Pages 26-34, ISSN 0198-9715, DOI: 10.1016/j.compenvurbsys.2008.09.005.
Solar envelope computation seems far more complex and different than hill shading. Hill shading usually only uses the orientation, and do not fully model light rays propagation.

Sketchup works great. You can define all kinds of settings and create time-lapse animations. Using ArcGIS, you can convert DSM to TIN then TIN to Multipatch and COLLADA and load into SketchUp.
In fact back in 2006 even ESRI was acknowledging the SketchUp was the tools for this: Quoting "Users can rapidly develop three-dimensional models that are georeferenced, animate scenes, and produce shadow casting studies for proposed building."
Take a look at the article: _URL_ It only applies to ArcGIS version 9.3.1 and older as this is the last version where the SketchUp6 plugin can be installed. In fact, for your purposes (DSM) it would probably be easier to use the plugin to convert the TIN surface to SketchUp then the new way which requires a few more steps. (The benefit of using the older version is that you can also export vector features (polylines, polygons, points) from ArcGIS to SketchUp whereas in version 10 this is not possible)
As was already mentioned in the previous similar post, ESRI claims to have similar functionality but I have not tried the tools personally.

The actual answer to your initial question is no. You cannot use the hillshade function to obtain the shadows. Personally I don't have a very high option of the paper you mention; Aside from the numerous items that just don't make sense, the purpose is to recover information hidden in the shadow areas? Why not use an image taken from a different angle, time of day, etc. I disagree that none of our suggestions will give you the results depicted in figure 5. I will add another answer with some quick sketchup screen captures. – Jakub Nov 11 '10 at 14:56
"but i think none of your suggestions will get me the right results."
I still think you should consider the new ESRI tools or Sketchup. As for Sketchup, you can customize what object cast shadows on what objects. If you just want the shadows themselves -> view model in plan view and un-check perspective -> then paint model white on white background and in Style dialog turn off edges. See below for 2 examples of this; 1: buildings, 2: terrain. You can export this to tiff, import into ArcGIS or other GIS, georeference, classify, convert to polygons if need be.

Wood Flooring Grades
Grading is determined by the appearance of the wood and is an indication of aesthetics rather than quality or durability.
Wood that exhibits similar attributes such as character, length and milling tolerances are grouped together in a grade. The grades were established by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) in conjunction with manufacturer associations to create consistency among different mills and provide the consumers and distributors with more defined expectations for their purchases. This instills confidence in all parties and helps to maintain fair pricing.
Keep in mind that sometimes grades are combined (Select & Better, Second and Better, etc.) or are a mix of two standard grades (No. 1 Common, No. 2 Common, etc.).
Mill Run (also known as Run of the Mill) is typically a mix of grades and has longer pieces. True to its name, this type of hardwood flooring is unique to the mill. This is an economical option for consumers and manufacturers alike.

Conservation value of forest plantations for bird communities in western Kenya
Farwig, N.; Sajita, N.; Boehning-Gaese, K.
Forest Ecology and Management 255(11): 3885-3892
Tree plantations of native and exotic species are frequently used to compensate for forest loss in the tropics. However, these plantations may support lower species diversity and different communities than natural forest. We therefore investigated bird communities in stands of natural forest, different types of tree plantations and secondary forest in Kakamega Forest, western Kenya. We compared birds differing in habitat specialisation, i.e. forest specialists, generalists, and visitors. We recorded significant differences in mean species richness and number of individuals among the different forest types. Stands of natural forest and plantations of indigenous tree species comprised more species and individuals than plantations of exotic tree species and secondary forest. This was caused by a significant decline of forest specialists and generalists from natural forest and indigenous plantations to exotic plantations and secondary forest. Species composition of the bird communities did not differ between natural forest stands and plantations of a mixture of indigenous tree species, but clearly changed between natural forest and plantations of single tree species. These findings demonstrate that natural forest areas are needed for the conservation of forest bird diversity, but that plantations with a mixture of indigenous tree species can have similarly high conservation value.

Flag frontage sign
Actif Signal makes lighted signs for stores, but also frontage signs called flags, lighted or not.
Flag sign made by Actif SIgnal
Lighted flag frontage sign (LED lighting in chamber) – ParisMade by Actif Signal
Actif Signal uses the same techniques to design, manufacture and install lighted signs made with neon tubes for stores, shops, and decorations for events such as fashion parades.
Flag Frontage Signs: What you should know
When it comes to marketing, exposure is a crucial matter. In order to attract clientele, a great deal of stores and commercial structures use flag signs. What are they and what is their purpose?
A brief history of signs
Lighted signs appeared for the first time in 1910. It is a Frenchman, by the name of Georges Claude, who invented them, but these products were first seen in the United States. Made with neon tubes, these signs were designed to catch the eye of the customer. Visible from afar and illuminated at night, they indicate the existence of the facility and its functions. Since its first appearance, the lighted sign has taken different shapes. In most cases, they can be found as a banner. Parallel to the front of the building, they can be affixed above a showcase or on a door lintel. Then, come the designs that are installed on rooftops, or affixed on the ground. Of course, the neon lighted signs are not to be forgotten.
Over the years, these so-called commercial signs have been reinvented in order to answer public demands and merchant's needs. This is how the flag signs started to develop. Copying the concept of advertisement signs, a flag sign is in the form of a box, single or double sided. It is affixed perpendicularly to the frontage of the building, high up, and helps promoting a store, a place, or a company.
Purpose of the Flag signs
To ensure a business or company's exposure, advertising elements are necessary. Thus, lots of professionals choose a flag design. Whether it's a simple sign, a lighted one or a flag sign, their purpose remains the same. If your premises are located in a busy street, the installation of a sign will catch the eye of the customer, and lead them towards you. It will also inform bystanders on your activities and the services you offer.
When setting up your flag sign, you have to make sure its design is appealing. While standard shapes like rectangles, squares or ovals have proven their effectiveness, a touch of fantasy and originality can also bring a little extra to you frontage. A tailor-made and colorful sign will help you stand out from the competition.
The different flag sign types.
The flag sign comes in different shapes and sizes depending on the customer's demands. Depending on your facility's layout, you can choose a simple or double sided sign. Some shops, like pharmacies or drugstores, usually elect a neon or LED lighted flag sign. Hotels and restaurants often opt for canvas flag signs, which combine metal chambers and canvas. Object-shaped flag signs also exist; for example, opticians choose flag signs shaped like glasses.
Illuminated signs
Because the first goal of a flag sign is to catch the eye of the public, it is advised to make it as visible as possible. The choice of an illuminated sign is then the best option. It has the advantage of capturing the public's attention while ensuring a strong exposure, night and day. Before putting up your lighted flag sign, you can choose, depending on the result you are expecting, between neon and LED
Neon signs.
If you opt for a neon-illuminated flag sign, you will have to choose between glass neon and flexible neon. Glass neon tubes are fluorescent tube, located under or behind a glass plate, and they light up the chamber. Flexible neon, on the other hand, covers what glass tubes can't.
Neon lighted flag signs have plenty of advantages. Amongst the most noticeable, neon can bend to the wishes of the customer. Indeed, these tubes can come in different diameters and are suitable for every mount and every shape. Neon also covers a 360° angle of lighting, which ensures a great exposure at night. It also comes in different colors and generates a strong and homogenous light. But the greatest advantage of the neon lighting lies in its lifespan. If the flag sign is located indoors, the neon can last up to 7 years, even if it is functioning 24/7. If located outdoors, the lighting will last up to 4 years if lit 24/7.
Although Neon has a great lifespan, its cons are not to be taken lightly: It is important to know that this type of installation is very difficult to put up and is very delicate. It is also very demanding in terms of energy. Lastly, a neon sign can cause electric shock in the case of an improper installation.
Neon gives a "neo-retro" look to your sign. The flag signs using neon lighting are designed and tailor-made on Actif Signal's manufacturing site. A neon lighting sign has to be put up by an installer in possession of the required electrical certifications. Actif Signal's installation teams all have the necessary certifications (H0 B0, H1 B1…).
LED signs
If you are not inspired by a neon-lighted flag sign, you can also chose an LED lighted sign. This type of sign will fit any and all of your needs.
If you need a static image, you can opt for a decoration LED flag sign. Made for indoor display, they regroup both displaying screens and decorative signs. They are preferred for advertising or promotional messages. If you want an animated sign, you can choose programmable LED signs. Durable, they are made for outdoor display. They can be set to flash or to display a message, night and day.
As opposed to neon flag signs, LED signs are more reliable. They are also very cost-efficient, and can be lit for up to 100 000 hours (11.5 years) before needing replacement. LED lights are also appreciated for their energy efficiency: as they do not diffuse any UV nor infrared, they are recyclable. An LED flag sign is also durable and safe. Sturdy, it is impact and vibration resistant, and temperature proof. Moreover, it does not present any electrical shock risk, contrary to neon lighting. With LED lighting, you can also choose from a great variety of colors and have a greater lighting power than that of neon light. The Light Emitting Diodes generate a brighter and more intense light that can be seen from farther away. Lastly, an LED flag sign can be programmed to show images or advertising messages. This type of colored animation is still energy efficient, and does not range down the lifespan of the lighting.
As for neon flag signs, LEDs also have cons. Its cost is the most prominent one; LEDs are significantly more expensive than the other lighting systems. However, it is highly compensated by its longevity and energy efficiency. Another major disadvantage of LED signs is its light field: it is less luminous than neon or than a lighted box, and does not propagate light efficiently around the facility.
Visual aspect of the flag signs
Once the decision to opt for a flag frontage sign has been made, you should always keep in mind that it conveys a message while being a guide to the customer. Because it symbolizes the activities and the offers of your business, it should be original.
The flag signs will be made according to the customer's demands. They usually include basic geometrical shapes (square, rectangle, circle…). Very traditional, this option can still have a strong impact if the sign includes colors, images or creative text. The use of LED or neon to illuminate the sign and make it even more visible can certainly be an asset to a business. In some cases, for specialized businesses like pharmacies or opticians, flag signs can come in particular shapes. We can find, in some streets, lighted crosses indicating a pharmacy, or a huge pair of glasses to signal an optician's shop.
Current regulations regarding Flag Frontage Signs.
There are specific regulations regarding flag signs, which were put in place in order to avoid "visual pollution". These norms vary depending on the type of business, the location of the sign and the objective it tries to achieve.
The rules apply mainly to the installation. While setting up a flag sign, we have to ensure that it does not exceed 25cm horizontally over the wall. It is also important that it does not cover more than 15% of the frontage, unless the frontage is larger than 50m², then it can cover it up to 25%. A flag sign cannot be affixed on a balcony or a glass front. Lastly, it has to be exactly as large as 1/10th of the distance from the public road.
Of course, the visual aspect of a lighted flag sign is entirely up to the customer. It is fairly common to find cake-shaped or baguette-like signs for boulangeries and bakeries, or regularly shaped ones with unique artwork for bars, hotels or even travel agency.
Be visible, opt for a flag sign
You are a merchant, a franchise, a pharmacy, a restaurant… chose a lighted flag sign. This type of sign is the ideal signage element and completes your existing signs. If you still hesitate between a neon or LED flag, a rectangular or an oval shape... Contact us, our engineering consultants

How to boost your exam grade
We all get a bit stressed out and nervous before important exams but according to new research, a simple bottle of water could help improve your grade
As a student, hours of revising, plenty of research and the correct exam equipment are high on the check list for important exam preparation, but it seems you could be missing one simple thing: a bottle ofwater. New research has found that bringing in refreshments to the exam hall could boost exam results by a whole grade.
CAN YOUR FOOD CHOICE HELP YOU IN EXAMS?
The study looked at hundreds of university students and compared the results of those who took in a bottle of water and those who went in empty handed. The results demonstrated those with a drink did around 5% better then those who didn't.
DID YOUR A LEVELS PREPARE YOU FOR UNIVERSITY?
While it is not completely clear why staying refreshed help in an exam helps, the study does suggest that staying well hydrated can improve the flow of brain cells and calm any pre-exam nerves, yay! It also suggested that many students can dehydrate mid-exam and good old H20 is best to combat this.
BEAT FIRST DAY NERVES
Other research from the University of East London also showed that children who drink water did better on tests of visual attention and memory.
So not only can water boost our skin it can boost exam results too! Still or sparkling anyone?

Let $f, \hat{f}, g,$ and $\hat{g}$ be continuous probability densities. Define probability densities $p \propto fg$ and $\hat{p} \propto \hat{f}\hat{g}$. Is it true that \begin{align*} ||p - \hat{p}||_{1} \le || f - \hat{f}|| _{1} + ||g - \hat{g}||_1 \end{align*}

Why would this inequality imply something of interest, if true? In short, what are your motivations for asking this? – Did Oct 29 '11 at 7:13
1 Answer 1
up vote 1 down vote accepted
Here is a real counterexample, as verified by mathematica: so we take the same discrete two point space as below, and let $f=(u_1,u_2), \hat{f} = (v_1,v_2), g = (a_1,a_2), \hat{g}=(b_1,b_2)$, with the relation that $x_1 + x_2 = 1$ where $x \in \{u,v,a,b\}$. So your claim becomes in this special case
$$ |\frac{u_1 a_1}{u_1 p_1 + u_2 a_2} - \frac{v_1 b_1}{v_1 b_1 + v_2 b_2}| + | \frac{u_2 a_2}{u_1 a_1 + u_2 a_2} - \frac{v_2 b_2}{v_1 b_1 + v_2 b_2}|$$ $$\le |u_1 - v_1| + |u_2 - v_2| + |a_1 - b_1| + |a_2 - b_2|$$
Now using the relation that if $x + y = 1$ and $w + z = 1$, then $|x - w| + |y - z| = 2 |x -w|$, we can simplify the above inequality to
$$ |\frac{u_1 a_1}{u_1 a_1 + u_2 a_2} - \frac{v_1 b_1}{v_1 b_1 + v_2 b_2}| \le |u_1 - v_1| + |a_1 - b_1| $$.
What I then did is to subtract the square of the right hand side from the square of the left hand side, and call the resulting function $h(u,v,a,b)$, where $x := x_1$ for $x \in \{u,v,a,b\}$. Then I did some brute force search of maximum and found the following point:
$$u=v =0.456239, a = 1/5, b = 1/2$$ If you plug it in to $h$ you should get $0.000652285 > 0$. So that means the left hand side is not always $\le$ the right hand side. Here are the mathematica code so that you can help me verify:
q[u1_, u2_, a1_, a2_, v1_, v2_, b1_, b2_] := (u1 a1/(u1 a1 + u2 a2) - v1 b1/(v1 b1 + v2 b2))^2 - ( (u1 - v1)^2 + (a1 - b1)^2 + 2 Abs[(u1 - v1) (a1 - b1)]);
h[u_, v_, a_, b_] := q[u, 1 - u, a, 1 - a, v, 1 - v, b, 1 - b];
h[0.456239, 0.456239, 2/3, 2/5]
= 0.000652285
Edit: below was my earlier false counterexample.
I believe it's false. Here is an argument. It suffices to consider discrete probability space, say the two point space $\Omega = \{ 0,1 \} $. Now let $f =(u_1,1-u_1)$ be the probability mass function, so that means $f(0) = u_1$ and $f(1) = 1-u_1$. and similarly $\hat{f} = (u_2,1-u_2)$. Also I will let $g = \hat{g} = (p, 1-p)$. Then $\|g - \hat{g}\|_1 = 0$, so your inequality amounts to
$ |\frac{p u_1}{p u_1 + (1-p)(1-u_1)} - \frac{p u_2}{pu_2 + (1-p)(1-u_2)}| \le |u_1 - u_2|$.
Now take $u_1 = 2/3$ and $u_2 = 1/3$, and let $ 1-p >> p$. Then you get a contradiction.
share|improve this answer
I don't think this counter example is true. The left hand side should be |P_1 - \hat{P}_1| + |P_2 - \hat{P}_2|, (P \propto fg not to confuse with your p) currently you are only considering the term |P_1 - \hat{P}_1|. Also the left hand side is 2|u_1 - u_2|. Moreover, when g is highly biased (p \to 0 in your example) then the right hand side of my inequality (||P - \hat{P}||_1) goes to zero so it's true. – Nima Oct 29 '11 at 3:42
Thanks for the counter example. I appreciate it. Do you think some inequality like that might be true perhaps with some prefactor? I want to somehow bound the tv distance of the product of some probability densities in terms of the individual tv distances – Nima Oct 29 '11 at 5:57
That's a good question. I have no intuitions whatsoever, just pure luck. Can you state the original problem you are trying to solve? My first impression was that the inequality does not scale appropriately on the two sides, which led to my disbelief. – John Jiang Oct 29 '11 at 6:01
I was trying to prove convergence of a low-complexity variant of belief propagation algorithm which we call it stochastic belief propagation. Belief propagation has various applications in signal and image processing, computer vision, etc. This statement or something like that would be helpful. Thanks anyway – Nima Oct 29 '11 at 21:14

Making Homelessness Applications for Single Refugees
When receiving leave to remain, refugees commonly become homeless.
With demand for housing high, it can be difficult to prove that individuals have a priority need for accommodation. Yet many single refugees suffer from mental and physical health conditions that make them more vulnerable. If this vulnerability is exacerbated by being homeless, councils may have a duty to house them.
Providing an overview of how to support single refugees through a homelessness application, the training will include:
- Understanding what duties councils have towards homeless applicants
- How to support refugees to make a homelessness application
- When and how to challenge homelessness decisions


- Question: Hellllllllllo! Just wondering if 1 cigarette takes off 11 minutes of someone's life the oldest person ever (Jeanne calment-122) smoked until she was well over 110. If she never smoked what are the chances of her living quite a while longer?
 Asked by amckeswick to Robyn on 19 Mar 2020.
 - Photo: Robyn Kiy
 Robyn Kiy answered on 19 Mar 2020:
 This is a really interesting question that has made me stop and think!
 The statistic about 1 cigarette taking between 7 and 11 minutes off a life is an estimate of the average time a cigarette takes off a persons life. This doesn't mean that this will be the same for every person! Other elements such as lifestyle (e.g. diet and exercise) and genetics can influence the health of a person, and thus their life expectancy. For example, it is possible for someone who smokes 5 cigarettes a day but eats healthily, exercises regularly, and has a low-risk job to outlive a non-smoker who leads an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle (although this isn't guaranteed, of course!).
 It is likely that Jeanne Calment's genetics provided her with an element of protection from the dangers of smoking cigarettes.
 Based off the assumption that cigarettes reduce life expectancy, it may be possible that without smoking Jeanne would have lived longer! However, if Jeanne Calment was not susceptible to the damage caused by smoking, it may also be possible that never smoking would have no impact on the time of her death.
 Unfortunately, I couldn't predict the exact chances of her living longer if she hadn't smoked. However, as we know that smoking does reduce the life-expectancy of the average person, it is definitely possible that Jeanne Calment may have lived longer had she not smoked!

Hrithik Roshan to share his fight against stuttering
314 0
While he recently voiced his support towards Deepika Padukone who courageously came out in the open to discuss about depression, Hrithik Roshan continues to spread awareness and talk about his fights and struggles to inspire his other fans. It is a renowned fact that Hrithik Roshan as a child faced several issues due to his stuttering. However, instead of bowing down to the constant stigma, he decided to fight.
In a recent interview, the actor expressed his concern to several people who continue to face social stigma when it comes to speech-related impediments and mentioned that he is contemplating with the idea of writing a book. His intention is to inspire people and boost them with self-confidence with his story that revolves around his way of overcoming struggles and stigmas.
Reminiscing about his battle with stammering, Hrithik described it as lonely and also revealed about how kids often were mean to him due to his stuttering. He further also stated that children often don't have as much information or knowledge to understand these kind of issues. Yet at the same time, he looks back at these incidents as something that gave him immense strength and belief in him.
Hrithik Roshan also went out to spread this message to his fans wherein he requested them to accept their shortcomings and use them as a stepping stone to grow.

===== Insert text regarding state=QLD here. ======
A prank call, also known as a crank call or nuisance call, is a form of practical joke over the telephone. This includes threatening someone over the phone as well as hanging up the phone once the receiver has picked up the phone. Repeated prank calls can amount to harassment, stalking or even bullying. It is important to use common sense and realise that prank calls can cause fear and distress to other people.
Which types are prank calls are considered offences?
- Threatening to kill someone (not necessarily the person you called) over the phone with the intention that they will believe you.
- Threatening to cause serious harm to someone (not necessarily the person you called) over the phone with the intention that they will believe you.
- Threatening that you have left/will leave an explosive or dangerous object somewhere with the intention that they will believe you.
- If you menace, harass or cause offence to a person over the phone, either by what you are saying or the way you are saying it.
The penalties for making threatening calls can be very serious.
Calls to emergency services (000)
- Dialling '000' and pretending that there is an emergency. Penalty – 3 years imprisonment.
- Dialling '000' for a reason other than an emergency situation. Penalty – 3 years imprisonment.
The penalties for making prank calls to emergency services can be very serious.
Calls are not only considered to be prank calls when it is threatening. Other types of prank calls may be classified as harassment depending on the words said, time and its circumstances.
So it is possible that you are not intending to threaten someone over the phone, but if your calls are annoying the receiver, they can ask their mobile company or the police to investigate and trace the prank call.
What can I do if I receive a prank call?
Hang up immediately. If you keep getting prank calls, you can make a complaint to the local police. They can then investigate, and, if necessary, prosecute the person who made the call.
You can also contact your phone company to help. For example, Telstra has a special call centre to help customers who are receiving unwanted phone calls. However your phone company is not obliged to disclose the information of the person calling you, unless asked by the police.
If you receive a phone call, you should not:
- Find out yourself who the caller is – this may be dangerous
- Threaten the caller
- Pretend you are a police officer when receiving the phone call (Impersonating a police officer)
If you threaten the caller or pretend to be a police officer, this may result in you being investigated for a criminal offence.
Stalking by prank calls
Unwanted contact through any technological means that happens more than once and causes concern or fear may constitute stalking. This means that repeated prank calls may be considered stalking. The penalties for stalking by prank calls can be very serious.
Bullying by prank calls
Repeated prank calls may also be bullying. If the prank calls becomes harassment, or illegal threats, then it becomes a form of bullying. Please refer to our Bullying section.

Botanical Collection
Our four signature Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines
Appellation Series
Wines from select vineyards away from home.
The Botanicals Collection represents the pinnacle of our achievements at Pyramid Valley.
 Their story is rooted in the foundations of our Waikari Estate in North Canterbury. The initial plantings were arranged by Mike and Claudia Weersing according to specific minute changes in soil composition between the unique limestone and clay particles. These changes reflected their decision to plant either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. Interestingly the meadow growing in each parcel was also different, with different species of meadow plants being present. These parcels have been named according to the dominant botanicals in the meadow from their beginnings as a vineyard in 2002, and have been vinted as highly individual wines since 2006. Each wine is named after the common colloquial name of the meadow plant and each wears a wonderful piece of Patricia Curtin botanical art reflecting this plant. Since their release in 2006 they have created a new dimension for fine New Zealand wine, illustrating the incredible impact of this remarkable vineyard on the sense of wine. They are wines that truly breathe of their place. They are rare, expensive and collectible.

- addle (v.)
- 1712, from addle (n.) "urine, liquid filth," from Old English adela "mud, mire, liquid manure" (cognate with Old Swedish adel "urine," Middle Low German adel, Dutch aal "puddle").
Used in noun phrase addle egg (mid-13c.) "egg that does not hatch, rotten egg," literally "urine egg," a loan-translation of Latin ovum urinum, which is itself an erroneous loan-translation of Greek ourion oon "putrid egg," literally "wind egg," from ourios "of the wind" (confused by Roman writers with ourios "of urine," from ouron "urine"). Because of this usage, from c.1600 the noun in English was taken as an adjective meaning "putrid," and thence given a figurative extension to "empty, vain, idle," also "confused, muddled, unsound" (1706). The verb followed a like course. Related: Addled; addling.

Of Saints and Sharifian Kings in Morocco: Three Examples of the Politics of Reimagining History Through Reinventing King/Saint Relationship
MetadataShow full item record
The relationship between sainthood and the sharifian monarchy in Morocco has attracted much attention from researchers within the area of Moroccan studies. The analysis of this relationship can offer invaluable insights into the dynamics of Moroccan history because the king and the saint are widely regarded as the two most salient actors in this history. Yet, the study of the relationship between these two figures has suffered a tendency towards downplaying its historically dynamic nature, and essentializing the cultural constructs upon which it is predicated. In this thesis, I offer a revisionary reading of king/saint relationship through analyzing three examples from the 'Alawite dynasty. I argue that this relationship has been highly dynamic, and has capitalized on baraka and sharifism as versatile cultural constructs. More significantly, the dynamics of king/saint relationship in Moroccan culture allows the strategic reinvention of history in order to meet the demands of changing historical contexts.

An innovative micromechanics-based three-dimensional long-term strength criterion for fracture assessment of rock materials
Journal article, Peer reviewed

Original versionFrattura ed Integrità Strutturale. 2018, 12 (44), 64-81. 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.44.06
Rocks may exhibit time-dependent behaviors. Long-term strength criterion significantly dominates creep failure of rocks. Rocks contain many microcracks, which lead to degrade of long-term strength. In this paper, it is assumed that there exist three-dimensional penny-shaped microcracks in rocks. The mode II stress intensity factors at tips of three-dimensional penny-shaped microcracks in Burgers viscoelastic rock matrix is derived. A novel micromechanics-based three-dimensional long-term strength criterion is established to consider the effects of time and the intermediate principal stress on creep failure of rocks. By comparison with the previous experimental data, it is found that the novel micromechanics-based three-dimensional long-term strength criterion is in good agreement with the experimental data.

Registration for 3D model of human atlas based on vertex information
Journal: Yiyong Shengwu Lixue/Journal of Medical Biomechanics
Objective: To develop a registration method for 3D human atlas models by using geometric information of the vertices so as to lay a foundation for statistical modeling of atlas. Methods: Based on CT images of the normal human, thirty 3D models of human atlases were created and marked by the manual selected points, including 1 standard module, 20 training sets and 9 testing samples. The training sets were first registered with the standard module, including calculation on geometric information of the individual vertex and optimization process of weight coefficients in the registration models. By minimizing the energy function defined with the Euclidean distances between the automatic registered points and the manual selected points in training sets, the optimized weight coefficients could be obtained. The testing samples were then registered with the standard module to calculate the Euclidean distances between the automatic registered points and the manual selected points. The results were then compared with the training sets to evaluate the stability of the registration method. Results: The registration function and the corresponding optimized weight coefficients were obtained, and the average errors for the training sets and testing samples were 1.983 mm and 2.045 mm, respectively. Further statistical analysis showed that there were no obvious differences in the error distributions among the training sets and testing samples. Conclusions: The accuracy and stability of the proposed registration method meet the requirement in medical applications, and it can provide automatic registration of points of interest on human atlas models and be used for element classification in statistical modeling.


OMG moment affects GPAs
Chemistry professor uses Hogwarts-styled 'House Cup' challenge to improve learning
Organic chemistry students choose House Cup teams.
Organic chemistry students choose House Cup teams.
Professor Angela King had an OMG moment last year at a teaching retreat, which led her to change how her organic chemistry classes operate.
King realized, "What a student expects to learn and how they expect to do in a class actually impacts their learning."
For example, a student might take a divisional class and assume they will get an A because it's viewed as their "easy" class. "They are already calculating their GPA based on that A and will do whatever it takes to get that A," she said, "while a student who takes a class perceived as more difficult, like my organic chemistry course, just wants to pass the class."

I have a problem when I try to compare two large files. What I am trying to do is take a line from one file, search all the lines of another file for a match and if there isn't one, write that line to another file. I was able to recreate the problem with the simple example below:
apple banana pear peach lime
lime apple pear peach
Since I am looking for lines in file1 that are not in file_old, I would expect that 'banana' would be the only value to show in the output file. But in the output file, "*fill_diff*", I am showing:
apple banana banana
What is wrong with my code to try and produce the differences in a file?
def main(): file_old = open(r'C:\Users\test\Desktop\file_old.txt', 'r+') file_new = open(r'C:\Users\test\Desktop\file1.txt', 'r+') file_diff = open(r'C:\Users\test\Desktop\file_diff.txt', 'w') for each_line in file_new: for every_line in file_old: if each_line == every_line: break file_diff.write(each_line) file_old.close() file_new.close() file_diff.close() main()

One thing you need to do is determine how to space out the tiles and draw them. If this were a simple rectilinear grid of tiles, you could use the AutoCAD® ARRAY command to fill in the tiles. But for the garden path, you need to have each row of tiles offset from the previous row.
This row-offset pattern is a repeating pattern. Think of how you might go about laying the tiles if you were building the actual path. You would probably be inclined to start at one end and just keep laying down rows until there wasn't any more space left.
At the starting point of the path
Figure out the initial row offset from center (either centered on
the path or offset by one "tile space").
While the space of the boundary filled is less than the space to

Reset the next start point (incremented by one "tile space").

What is difference between Agricultural land and Non Agricultural (NA) land?
Add your answer...
1 Answer
A. The main difference is in the FSI (Floor Space Index) i.e. how big house can be constructed on a given piece of land. Normally for agriculture land it is 0.05 (5% )i.e. on a land of 100 sqr meter you can make a house of 5 sqr meter only. NA land FSI is normally much higher at around 0.7 (70%)to 1(100%).

The Ferengi language is the spoken and written language of the Ferengi, from Ferenginar.
Written language Edit
Ferengi script
Ferengi script
Ferengi writing looks much like a flowchart, with many 60 degree angles. Text radiates from the center outward, which would indicate the direction of writing as well. Ferengi text can be written with or without a central hexagon, radiating from one side of a hexagon only and in single horizontal lines on signs and short notes. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi"; DS9: "Body Parts").
Keiko O'Brien's classroom featured a chart depicting the English, the Bajoran, the Cardassian, and the Ferengi alphabet. The chart listed some sixty plus Ferengi language symbols (DS9: "The Nagus", "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians")
Ferengi Lexis Edit
 - Nagus - title of authority; esp. Grand Nagus, leader of the Ferengi Alliance. This is, presumably, an English translation, as certain Earth leaders (i.e. those of Ethiopia) have also borne the title of Nagus. (DS9: "The Nagus")

What is a Grammar Stream?
Swindon Academy Grammar Stream was launched in September 2016 and is the only Grammar Stream in Swindon. A Grammar Stream is an educational arrangement whereby a group of students are educated in a mainstream school, but follow a Grammar School-style curriculum that is taught by subject specialist teachers. All pupils in the Grammar Stream have been identified as having the ability to understand the level at which work is taught, meaning that the teacher has less differentiation to address in their teaching and the group will make good progress together.
A Grammar Stream has several advantages over Grammar Schools: firstly, a Grammar Stream in Swindon enables local pupils to enjoy a Grammar-style curriculum, without having to undertake a long bus journey twice daily to Grammar Schools outside of the Swindon area. Secondly, pupils who attend the Grammar Stream are from a variety of backgrounds and are mixed gender, meaning that pupils learn how to socialise and communicate effectively with others.
Swindon Academy is well-placed to provide a Grammar Stream for several reasons: Firstly, we have a highly successful partnership with Marlborough College, a prestigious school who supports the educational experiences of our pupils. Secondly, Swindon Academy was rated a 'Good' by Ofsted in May 2017 in all areas. Thirdly, Swindon Academy is the top school in Swindon for student progress. Finally, GCSE results were the highest ever with Year 11 pupils achieving 67% 5A*-C, including English and maths in 2018.

Holy Grail in America
Has the Holy Grail been in America all along? In 1898, a Minnesota farmer uprooted a large stone covered with mysterious runes that tell a story of land acquisition and murder. Initially thought to be a hoax, new evidence suggests that the find, allegedly dating to 1362, could be real–and a clue that the Knights Templar discovered America 100 years before Columbus. Follow along as experts use erosion studies on the rune stone and match symbols in Templar ruins in Europe to support this theory. 100 minutes.


Determining surface orientations of transparent objects based on polarization degrees in visible and infrared wavelengths
Techniques for modeling an object through observation are very important in object recognition and virtual reality. A wide variety of techniques have been developed for modeling objects with opaque surfaces, whereas less attention has been paid to objects with transparent surfaces. A transparent surface has only surface reflection; it has little body reflection. We present a new method for obtaining surface orientations of transparent surfaces through analysis of the degree of polarization in surface reflection and emission in visible and far-infrared wavelengths, respectively. This parameter, the polarization degree of reflected light at the visible wavelengths, is used for determining the surface orientation at a surface point. The polarization degree at visible wavelengths provides two possible solutions, and the proposed method uses the polarization degree at far-infrared wavelengths to resolve this ambiguity.

Staff-by rule
Create a staff-by rule if you need to define who's available to take call or cover a shift beyond OnCall's standard filters, work preferences and day-after rules.
Create a Staff-by rule
(see video guide)
 1. In OnCall's menu bar go to Window / Rule Writer.
 2. The Rule Writer toolbox has three dropdowns. In the top dropdown, select Staff-by rule.
 3. In the middle dropdown, rename the rule to a more meaningful name that defines the rule. Click on the current name and type over with the new name. When finished, click ENTER. Naming rules is particularly helpful when you have more than one rule for your schedule.
 4. In the bottom dropdown, select a condition and then choose entries to include or exclude from the rule. If your rule has layers of conditions, separate or define them using the icons above. The most commonly used icons are the + to add another set of conditions or - to exclude a condition.
 5. When finished building the rule, click the Apply to icon, => to apply the rule to one or more call services or shifts. If you successfully applied the rule to the correct service or shift, the service's Infobox window displays a box that begins with "Staff rule" followed by the rule name.
 6. Examples:
 For RESIDENT type schedules, below are two common staff-by rules:
 1. A call service is staffed by a combination of block rotations.
 In this example, the Consult Resident service is staffed by PGY2 and PGY3 residents that are on the Amb Care, Card, and Consult block rotations.
 2. A re-purposed call service is providing an inaccurate Team summary list.
 In this example, the Ward call service row was renamed to Night Float Resident. The Team summary list is still providing names of residents on Wards block rotation. It is supposed to be staffed by PGY2 and PGY3 residents that are on the NF block rotation.
 For ATTENDING type schedules, below are three common staff-by rules:
 1. The Call service is only staffed by an MD if nobody is on Back-up Call that day.
 2. A staff type cannot work another service if already scheduled that day.
 In this example, Back-up Call is staffed by MDs and NPs. But if an NP is working Call that day, an MD must work Back-up.
 3. Two different staff types can work the service on different days of the week.
 In this example, Pembroke Call is staffed by MDs Monday - Friday and NPs Saturday, Sunday and Holidays.
 Edit a Staff-by rule
 1. Click on the service or shift name on the left-hand side of schedule.
 2. In the Infobox window, click the box beginning with "Staff rule" followed by the rule name.
 3. The Rule Writer toolbox opens to the rule. Click on the rule's condition icons on the top-right side of the window to edit the entries. Click on the Apply to => icon to edit which call services or shifts follow the rule.

Antos Antler Dog Chew - Large
Antos Antlers are healthy chews for dogs. Antos antlers satisfy a dog's natural urge to chew, whilst also helping to strengthen and clean teeth.
Brand Antos
Manufacturer Antos
Species Dog
Out of stock
What are Antos Antler Dog Chews?
Antos Antlers satisfy a dog's natural urge to chew, whilst also helping to strengthen and clean teeth.
Antos antlers are a naturally grown chew so don't contain nylon like some long-lasting chews. They are not an 'empty' chew like rawhide and contain important minerals.
Even dogs who are losing weight can enjoy Antos antlers because they only contain a tiny amount of fat. Naturally, they don't contain additives or preservatives.
Antos antlers are sourced from naturally shed Red Deer and Fallow Deer antler, much of which is from Scottish highland herds.
Please Note:
Make sure your dog is gnawing on the antler chew and not trying to break it in half. Don't hold the antler chew for him as this may cause him to bear down on it. Leave it for him to work out how to enjoy it. Please don't leave Antos antler chew toys outside in the elements, where other creatures can get to them, to safeguard your dog's health.
Like any dog chew, the following is very important: To avoid a choking risk, take the Antos antler chew toys away from your dog once it gets worn down to a small enough size that your dog could easily swallow. Always supervise your dog when chewing the antos antler chew toy.
What are the benefits of using Antos Antler Dog Chews?
Naturally shed antler
Contain important minerals
Leaves no stains or mess
Helps with dental hygiene
No additives or preservatives
What is in Antos Antler dog chews?
100% Naturally shed deer antler
What size Antos Antler is best for my dog?
Just like with any chew, buying the right size for your dog is important. For example, whilst a toy dog could take on an extra large antler, it would serve no benefit at all and would be quite overwhelming for the dog. Likewise, a giant breed should not be given a small antler.
Size Guide:
Small (50 - 75g) - suitable for toy dogs
Medium (75 - 150g)- suitable for small to medium dogs
Large (150 - 220g) - suitable for medium to large dogs
Extra large (220 - 270g) - suitable for large to giant breeds or dogs with strong jaws
In the very unlikely event that your dog isn't interested in chewing the antler, try rubbing it with sandpaper or a nail file. If your dog still isn't interested in it, try smearing on a small amount of peanut butter or honey, or soaking it overnight in water in the refrigerator.
Remember, Antos antlers are incredibly long-lasting so you may find your dog leaves and goes back to the antler chew many times before it's finished.

No one likes to think about the repairs they may encounter with their heating system, but it's likely that at some point you will need to call for heating repair in Macon City. If you have a radiant heating system, the repairs you may have to manage will depend at least somewhat on the kind of radiant heating system you have. There are two main types of radiant heating systems – hydronic and electric – and different repairs can develop with each type. As such, it's best to address this question by breaking down the two types of systems first.
Hydronic radiant heating systems heat via hot water or steam. A boiler is needed to generate the hot water, so a boiler is an important part of a hydronic heating system. The types of repair problems that you may see with a hydronic radiant heating system are:
- Issues with the boiler – boilers are durable and have fewer moving parts than a furnace, but age can wear a unit down. If the boiler isn't working the way it's supposed to, your radiant heating won't, either.
- Airlock – just as bubbles can get into the piping and cause an issue with a radiator, they can do the same with the PEX tubing used for your radiant heating. An airlock can cause a blockage in the flow of the steam or water, creating a cold spot where there should be heat.
Electric radiant heating uses a cable that heats when electrified. The cable can be installed directly to the subflooring, be installed as part of an electrically-conductive mat or set in cement. Repair problems that can develop with an electric radiant heating system are:
- Tripping circuit breakers – depending on the size of your radiant flooring space, you may need to upgrade your electric box in order to accommodate the extra electrical load the flooring requires; if you don't, you could end up with tripping circuit breakers that cut off the electricity and your heat.
- Uneven heating – should the electric cables suffer any kind of damage or be defective, you could have sections of your flooring that aren't getting any heat, resulting in uneven heating.
Radiant heating repairs in Macon City should always be handled by a trained expert, so if you are experiencing problems with your radiant heating, contact Premier Indoor Comfort Systems today.

Let $\epsilon_0$ be the fixed positive constant such that $F_0 := \{ y \mid b(y) < \epsilon_0\}$ is nonempty and bounded. Fix $z\in F_0$. Then we have that if $y \in Y \setminus F_0$, $b(y) - b(z) \geq \epsilon_0 - b(z) =: \delta_0 > 0$.
By assumption $F_0$ is bounded, hence there exists $C > 0$ such that $B_C(z) \supset F_0$. (Here I take $B_C(z)$ to be the open ball; a simple modification of the following argument also allows for closed balls.)
Let $c = \frac{\delta_0}{2C}$. Now we verify this choice of $C$ and $c$ is good.
Given $y \in Y\setminus B_C(z)$, let $\tilde{y} = \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (y-z) + z$. By convexity of the function $b$ we have that
$$ \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (b(y) - b(z)) + b(z) \geq b(\tilde{y}) \geq b(z) + \delta_0 $$
Hence we have that
$$ b(y) - b(z) \geq \frac{\delta_0}{C} \|y-z\| > \frac{\delta_0}{2C} \|y-z\| = c \| y - z\| $$
as claimed.

Juan Marichal (historian)
Juan Marichal (February 2, 1922 – August 9, 2010) was a Spanish-Canarian historian, literary critic and essayist. Marichal also served as a professor at Harvard University. Marichal spent years in exile during the Franco dictatorship following the end of the Spanish Civil War.
Marichal was born on February 2, 1922, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. He moved with his family to Madrid in 1935. However, he soon relocated to both Valencia and Barcelona before attending school in Paris, France. He graduated from French lycee in Casablanca, near the end of the Spanish Civil War.
In 1941, Marichal boarded a ship with other exiles from the Spanish Civil War and sailed from Casablanca to Mexico at just 19 years old. He enrolled at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where he studied literature and philosophy. He worked at a box factory as a student to pay for his tuition.
Marichal became a professor at Luis Vives Institute, an organization in Mexico founded by Spaniard exiles. He moved to the United States, where he enrolled as a doctoral student at Princeton University in New Jersey due to a scholarship obtained for him by Edmundo O'Gorman, a Mexican historian and philosopher. Marichal received his doctorate in literature from Princeton University in 1949.
Marichal taught literature at Harvard University in Massachusetts after obtaining his doctorate, where his courses, which focused on Spain and the Spanish-language, included El Cid. He later spent more than 10 years writing his most famous work, The Complete Works of Manuel Azaña, a Spanish politician. He also published the writings and works of his father-in-law, Spanish poet Pedro Salinas, Three Voices of Pedro Salinas, in 1976. Marichal was a recipient of the Spain National Prize in Literature in 1996 for his work as a historian and was awarded the Canary Prize for Literature in 1987.
Juan Marichal died on August 9, 2010, at his home in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, at the age of 88. His death was announced by the regional government of the Canary Islands. He was predeceased by his wife, Solita, the daughter of poet Pedro Salinas.. The couple had one son.

Justin Gaethje ● The Dominance of The Wrestler Base In MMA
Mindsmash is back with another intriguing analysis and question of why are wrestlers so dominant in MMA? Let's begin by taking a look at the players dominating in the sport. What is it about wrestling that makes it so powerful as an important discipline, when stringing together the rest of your arsenal? It's intent, as a sport and the philosophy it uses to execute that intent. So what is its intent?
"To Gain and Maintain a Superior Position"
This does two things. Using techniques to gain a superior position over the opponent. So that a fighter can hit you and you cannot hit them. With fighters like Tyron Woodley or Cody Garbrandt. Who can use their wrestling to keep the fight on the feet and away from the other fighters strengths. Which could, for instance, be Jiu Jitsu. That is why wrestling is so strong.
Wrestling is essentially a tool to inhibit the other opponent from using theirs, forcing you to play into their World. In MMA it may look a little different. But it's intent, its philosophy remains the same. Using explosiveness and technique to maintain a superior position over you.
Explosiveness is another key point we have to note. The explosive training regiment. Wrestling doesn't have as many techniques as Jiu Jitsu. Yet it is still very much a game of chess, a game of the mind. Mass times acceleration equals force. The faster you move your mass, the more force you will deliver.
Justin Gaethje is the newest athlete to sign with the UFC and he brings that same wrestling base with him. Gaethje was an NCCA division one All America wrestler. Who transitioning to MMA throughout college under the tutelage of Trevor Wittman. How will his skill set translate into the elite divisions of the UFC. With a fight of the year contender win over Michael Johnson, he's off to a great start. Let's deconstruct the overall philosophy they are using.


Khochay Pathan/ Khochey Pathan Meaning
It's commonly known that Pathan is an Iranian ethnic group between Afghanistan and Pakistan. They also called Pashtuns, the ones who speak Pashto.
Khocha, too, is used for Pashtuns. This is not clear if it's a specific group among the Pashtuns but that seems like a possibility. However, khocha is a relatively less used term and is a little debated as well, as some people say it's not a Pashto word, but coined by Punjabi speaking people.
Overall, though, we can safely say that Khocha Pathan is an Afghan, basically a Pashto native, and hence, the term Khochey Pathan ki Zubaan would mean 'Word of a Pashto/ Pathan', which is considered something irrevocable, something which he'd not go against, whatever happens.
