Fishing Lure Color Selection – A Detailed Guide
No matter what kind of lure you are fishing with, it will come in a huge range of colors. There's every color out there from black to luminous pink, but why? What is it about the colors that make fish more interested in one color on one day and a different color on the next. There are quite a few factors to consider and here is a lure color selection and guide to make things a little easier for you.
Lure Color Selection And Guide
The Factors
There are quite a few factors to consider when choosing a lure color. Here are the details of what you should think about when picking a lure.
Can Fish See Color?
Scientific evidence shows that fish eyes have both rod and cone cells. Rod cells are used to detect light and contrast. The work in low light and allow fish (and us) to see shapes, shadows, and silhouettes in dimly lit environments. They do nothing to detect color, however. Cone cells are the ones that perceive color but they do need a lot of light to work. If the light dims for any reason, colors begin to fade in vision. Fish have been found to have a lot more rod cells than cone cells, meaning fish pay more attention to contrast, silhouette and shape than they do to color.
Due to the dimly lit environment fish live in, their pupils don't dilate like humans. Their cone cells have evolved to give better details on contrast depending on light conditions. It's thought that the environments they live in have helped their eyes to adapt. Game fish are said to be very good at distinguishing between shades of blue, helping them see blue bait in blue light. Fish that have lived in murky water are better at seeing shades of red, yellow and green.
In my opinion, getting the contrast and shape right is what you want to achieve when picking a lure, but how is it best to do that?
Colors Disappear In Water
Water filters light naturally and by doing so removes certain wavelengths, and the deeper you go the more wavelengths are filtered out. If you're in clean water, the first color to disappear as you get deeper is red, then orange, followed by yellow and green and finally blues and purples. But, this all changes with water clarity and becomes a little more complicated. In water full of algae, green is the most visible color. In silty water, yellow and brown are easiest to see. And in tannin-stained water, red is the most visible.
If a fish could see in full color, it wouldn't matter that much as slowly the colors disappear with depth. What this information does tell you is how to create the best contrast depending on the conditions and depth you are fishing at.
Here is a link so a color chart that shows you scientifically what colors are easiest to see underwater at differing depths and conditions.
Match The Bait & Geography
Most of the time, you are trying to imitate exactly what the fish you are trying to catch are choosing to eat that day. This depends on a lot of factors, firstly what fish you are targeting, where are you fishing and what time of year. Every ecosystem has it's moments when a certain baitfish is prevalent in the area and the predators go crazy for them. Knowing about these patterns will put you in good stead to choose the right lure. If you are fishing in Texas in spring for example, then red is an excellent color to use as the crawfish there are red and the bass go nuts for them. If you're fishing for tarpon in Florida during the mullet run, you're going to use a bait that imitates a mullet and its color, a shrimp pattern is going to be ignored.
Wherever you are fishing, speak to the locals and look online for advice. It also pays to be aware whilst on the water. The more you notice about the situation the better. You may see baitfish swim past and try and match them, or remember colors that worked at a similar time the year before. If you do catch some fish, quite often some of their food will be regurgitated and you can see what they have been feeding on. If you are bass fishing and can catch one, feel it's stomach. If it's soft, then they are eating baitfish, if hard then they're eating crawfish or other crustaceans.
Water Clarity
When you approach the water you are fishing the first thing to think about is what it looks like and what your bait is going to look like inside it. If the water is crystal clear, your bait will be seen easily by fish. If the water is dark and murky, fish are going to struggle to see your bait.
As a rule, darker colors are easier to see underwater and if the water is murky then using a dark-colored lure is the way to go. Blue, black and Junebug are great colors for this situation. You can also opt for the brightest colors in your box, as these are made to be seen in murky waters. Try luminous pink, orange, and chartreuse.
When the water is clear, the idea is to match fish's chosen bait as close as possible. This means choosing natural colors that imitate the baitfish in the water. If you are bass fishing using green pumpkin or watermelon colored baits will imitate the crawfish, perch and sunfish species in the system. If you're fishing in the sea you might go for a crankbait with a blue body and a white bottom.
It doesn't always quite work out as I've mentioned above but it's a good general rule to follow. Never stop changing if what you're using is not working.
Sunlight has a similar effect on the water as water clarity. If you have been snorkeling, you'll know that when the sun comes out, your visibility underwater gets a lot better. It's exactly the same for fish, bait is easy to see on a sunny day and harder to see on a darker day. In terms of lure color, the same rules we mentioned in water clarity apply here too. Dark or luminous colors on dark days and natural colors on bright days. Although, it's probably better to weigh them up together. If you're fishing clear water on a dark day, then use something that is still natural but is either a little dark or has some flash to it. If the water is dark and the sky is darker, then go for the darkest or most outlandish color you have.
Something else that affects how sunlight penetrates water is the surface conditions. If you are a diver you'll know that visibility is much worse when the water is rough than when it is calm. If it's windy on a lake, making a big ripple and lot of surface movement, the water reflects and refracts a lot of the light that hits it and stops it from penetrating. This means that if you are fishing in clear water on a sunny day but it's very windy, you're going to want to think about using a darker or luminous lure.
Summing Up
It is quite a confusing realm of choice thinking about lure color and why it makes a difference sometimes and other times not. Color definitely plays a role, some days having the right color means fish are all over your bait. If you're an offshore fisherman, you'll have seen that on certain days one color in your 8 color spread will be hit all day and the others ignored.
The topics above definitely point to getting the right contrast so they fish can see your bait, this is certainly important. But don't get too caught up in color, yes find a good one but also fish it well. People who keep changing instead of focussing on fishing over catch less than if they had stuck with one color and fished it hard.

Cooling and crystallization instructions:
Cooling and crystallization are key palm oil fractionation process. Once crystallization successes, palm oil separation becomes easily. Therefore, different type of crystallization should have own cooling exchange surface, cooling system and mixture structure.Palm oil Cooling and crystallization condition determines the start of palm oil crystallization nuclei, the number of crystals and crystal size in palm oil fractionation process. Cooling efficiency and ordering ensure special crystal formation and filterability in palm oil fractionation.Under stirring and circulating water cooling state, according to set temperature difference between palm oil and cooling water, palm oil cooling time and control palm oil cooling process to form nuclei and slowly grow. When reaching the required temperature (depending on desired quality of soft fat obtained, typically 20 degrees Celsius), stop cooling.
Crystallization Theory & Practice:
◆Palm Oil is a complex multi-component mixture of triglycerides with melting points ranging from -30…+70°C
◆Crystallization for fractionation is a selective crystallization of triglycerides with higher melting point
◆Selectivity for crystallization is achieved by controlled temperature profile during cooling cycle
◆Crystallization process consists of four stages: Pre-cooling, Formation of Nuclei, Crystal Growth,Final Conditioning.

Does the Laplace equation on a rectangle with Dirichlet boundary conditions at two opposing sides and Neumann boundary conditions at the other two, always have a solution? If it does, is it unique? Is the same true for the discrete Laplace equation (with the standard five-point laplacian)?
share|improve this question
3 Answers 3
The solution to the Dirichlet problem is unique by the maximum principle. For the same reason, the solution to the Neumann problem is unique up to a constant.
At worst your problem would fail uniqueness by a constant, but those Dirichlet conditions you've got will prevent this.
This carries over to the discrete case. But note that the discrete case is an easier problem since you can just write out the matrix you need to invert and check if it's invertible.
share|improve this answer
I am not familiar with the discrete case. As for continuous case, I think you can use the method of images to solve this problem. It should always have a solution and it should be unique, due to the fact that the underlying Green's function is unique. In particular, to construct the Green's function, after reflecting by a Neumann or Dirichlet boundary, you put a same (resp. opposite) source (Delta function). By this way, we have an infinitely many sources, then your Green's function is the sum of the effects by all the sources. Hope it can help. :-)

I believe you can just use separation of variables.

Analyzing IIS logs: Microsoft Exchange, OWA and ActiveSync Activities
By Liisa Tallinn and Raido Karro
IIS log error responses in time
Need to audit a specific user connecting to their mailbox? Troubleshoot why users can't sync their mobiles via ActiveSync? The answer to these and many other questions lie in the IIS logs of the Microsoft Exchange server. These are, in most cases, typical IIS logs except the referrer field is missing. Here's a full tutorial on parsing and analyzing the logs with SpectX, the free log analyzer (no volume limits).
How to parse the IIS logs
Extracting data from raw IIS files can be painful. The amount of information contained in a record is overwhelming and difficult to parse. The records are poor in separators, the fields are there or not depending on the version and/or setup of the IIS server. When taking a closer look at the URI query field in the raw record, a trained eye is likely to spot key-value pairs (KVPs). However, a closer look will reveal that those KVPs are mixed with random strings and some KVPs contain other KVPs. Like this:
These sorts of URIs are quite a challenge for most parsers. Luckily, SpectX' parser can handle even the most difficult corner cases - download here, the desktop edition is free of charge. To extract useful Exchange and Activesync related information from the logs, we've prepared a full IIS/Exchange log pattern for parsing the logs and a dozen sample queries for asking the questions. Follow the steps below.
First, make sure the client IP is useful
Before digging into IIS logs, it's worthwhile to take a closer look at the client IP address field. If a proxy or a load balancer has been set up in front of the mail server, the client IP field in the IIS logs simply "reveals" the IP of that proxy server. If this is the case, enabling the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header in the proxy or LoadBalancer is the way to start logging the data you need to analyze user activities. To do this:
1. Check the proxy or load balancer documentation for enabling XFF.
2. Once enabled, include the XFF header in the IIS logs - here's a good tutorial.
Process the IIS logs with SpectX
Once the logs are set, and the client IP is an external one, it's SpectX' turn to help you parse and query the logs. To do this:
1. Download the free edition SpectX
2. (optional) Create a Maxmind account and configure SpectX to access the GeoLite2 database. This will enable calculating country codes and AS names from IPs later in the queries.
3. Create a datastore for the IIS log source. If they're in the IIS server, map the folder to your machine.
4. Open the Input Data browser
5. Navigate to an IIS log file and click on 'Prepare Pattern'
6. Paste the IIS pattern for Exchange into the pattern editor. A sample of your data is displayed in the bottom section and the data should be highlighted to indicate successfully matched records. If the pattern we've prepared doesn't light up the data, take a closer look at the fields in the raw data - there might be additional fields you need to comment out with '//'
7. Click on Prepare Query
Finally, the fun bit. Here are a dozen sample questions-queries you could ask from the mail server to see what the users have been up to and if there are any anomalies in the activities. Paste these queries at the end of the existing script. Use an asterisk in the file path to query multiple log files.
1. Activities of the user 'foo' during a specific time period
// Enter this line after the LIST and before the PARSE command to limit the search to recent files
| filter(last_modified > now()[-14 day])
//Enter this line after the PARSE command
| filter(cs_username = 'foo')
This is how the query should look in SpectX:
Screenshot of SpectX filtering a specific user in IIS logs
2. The number of successful and unsuccessful requests in hourly intervals.
Press on 'Chart' to see the trends on a graph.
| select(date_time,all:count(sc_status),ok:count(sc_status < 400),error:count(sc_status >= 400))
| group(date_time[1 hour])
3. How many daily hits are there from the user 'bar'?
| select(time: date_time[1 d], Bar_hits:count(cs_username='bar'))
| group(time)
| sort(time)
4. From how many IPs have the users connected to the server? Include a list of those IPs in an array.
| filter(cs_username IS NOT NULL)
| group(lower(cs_username),c_ip)
| select(ip_count:count(*),username:lower(cs_username),IPs:ARRAY_AGG(c_ip))
| group(username)
| sort(ip_count DESC)
5. How many users have connected from a specific IP? Include the list of users (in an array) that have connected from those IPs.
| filter(cs_username!= 'null')
| select(count:count(*),*)
| group(c_ip,lower(cs_username))
| select(users:ARRAY_AGG(cs_username),users_count:count(*),c_ip,cc(c_ip))
| group(c_ip)
| sort(users_count DESC)
| filter(users_count > 1)
6. What are the top devices of the users?
| select(*,parse("KVP{LD:key '=' LD:value ('&'| EOS)}:KVP", cs_uri_query))
| select(count(*),DeviceType:KVP[DeviceType])
| group(DeviceType)
| sort(count desc)
7. Users that are locked out or have their password expired
| filter(sc_win32_status = 1909L OR sc_win32_status = 1330L)
8. How many times has a user entered a wrong password or username? When did they do it for the first and last time? Aggregate (group) by the user and their user agent.
| filter(sc_win32_status = 1326L)
| select(count(*),c_ip,first_time:min(date_time),last_time:max(date_time),cs_username,cs_user_agent)
| group(cs_username,cs_user_agent)
| sort(count desc)
9. What are the top countries that the user IPs are coming from?
| select(count(*),cc(c_ip))
| group(cc)
| sort(count desc)
10. What are the hourly dynamics of hits compared to users from the US, Canada, and the UK?
| select(time: date_time[1 h], total:count(*),US:count(cc(c_ip)='US'), CA:count(cc(c_ip )='CA'), GB:count(cc(c_ip )= 'GB'))
| group(time)
| sort(time)
11? What are the top user agents?
| select(count(*),cs_user_agent )
| group(cs_user_agent)
12. Show the top list of URIs with error code 400 or higher
| filter(sc_status >= 400)
| select(count(*),cs_uri_stem,sc_status,*)
| group(cs_uri_stem,sc_status)
| sort(_USER_ DESC)
13. Amount of URIs returning an error code vs URIs returning an OK status code.
| group(date_time[1 hour])
These queries are just the tip of the iceberg. SpectX gives you very advanced options for parsing the data and playing with the queries, including the ability to join the results with other sources e.g. a list of malicious IPs or TOR exit nodes.

How is the Weather in Olon?
Olon is located right next to Montañita in the Santa Elena province of Ecuador, which has a more Temperate Climate than Salinas, Manta and other coastal cities and towns. The average temperatures according to BING Weather History is:
January - May = 26 to 29°C
June - December = 23 to 26°C
That means it's never cold in Olon. When it rains, it mostly does so at night and never very hard. That makes Olon the ideal spot to stay for a longer while!
Of course, Olon has one of the nicest sandy, wide & long Beaches and romantic Sunsets there are!
Below you can see the current Weather from AccuWeather. But this is not often very accurate, the closest weather station (in Manglaralto) doesn't seem to be very capable of registering and predicting the Weather very accurately.
The area is Green all year, with seasonal streams and small rivers. There is a variety of wildlife to be seen and heard at the Beach and in the Forested Hills. Find many Birds and Butterflies, Howler Monkeys, Deer and other local species!
Olon gives you more options and things to do. The Water Temperature is agreeable all-year-round. When it rains, it's normally in the early morning. There is often a nice breeze from the Ocean in daytime and from the Hills at night, so you don't always need your Air-Conditioning.


How Central Banks' domestic gold purchase plan can formalise artisanal gold mining
 - Artisanal and small-scale mining has grown significantly since the start of this century.
 - There are various drawbacks of artisanal gold mining, including environmental degradation, money laundering, smuggling, etc.
 - Central banks' domestic gold purchase plan can help countries across the globe to formalise and incorporate best practices into the sector.
Artisanal and small-scale mining has grown immensely in developing countries over the last twenty years. More than 20 million people across the globe are involved in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) practices. Poverty, unemployment, organised crime, lucrative gold prices are some of the leading factors that encourage ASGM activities. Though the ASGM practice is illegal in few countries, it is the second most significant source of livelihood, followed by agriculture.
Good Read: Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX:WBC) Bumps Up Fixed Mortgage Rates
There are various associated ill-effects of ASGM, including substantial environmental degradation, mercury release, soil pollution, child labour, health, safety & environment (HSE) issues, money laundering and smuggling. The limited access of artisan miners to financial institutions also makes them vulnerable to robbery and marginal prices for the mined gold. In most cases, the trading of gold involves middlemen, which significantly reduces the margin of gold miners. Additionally, the gold coming from these sources is probably not going to have an option to fulfil due diligence for global processing plants.
Role of Banking System to implement best practices:
Copyright © 2021 Kalkine Media Pty Ltd
Gold has become the cornerstone of the modern reserve management. It is the third most broadly held reserve currency, followed by the US dollar and the euro.
Good Read: Is this the Hottest Gold stock on ASX?
Since emerging economies face challenges of currency instability, they try to increase their gold reserves. Central banks in such markets are reinforcing their gold reserves with locally mined gold with the help of artisanal miners. The practice allows banks to buy gold in local currencies, avoiding currency losses. At the same time, the practice also supports the livelihood of artisanal miners.
However, the formalisation of the sector in a responsible way can significantly enhance artisanal miners' lives by incorporating the best practices in the sector.
How a central bank domestic ASGM purchase program can help miners:
Source: © Kjpargeter | Megapixl.com
The World Gold Council (WGC) has highlighted the four countries – Ethiopia, Mongolia, Ecuador and the Philippines – whose central banks followed domestic ASGM purchase program and elaborated how these programs have brought a change in ASGM practices in these countries.
Interesting Read: US Fed maintains status quo on the interest rate, bond purchases
In Mongolia, the central bank promoted the Fairmined Standards. In Ecuador, the bank decided to purchase gold from licensed miners with bank accounts and issue invoices. In the Philippines, the central bank assured the quality of gold through London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited refineries. In the case of Ethiopia, the central bank sells a portion of their purchase to LBMS accredited refineries.
The examples shared by WGC have clearly shown the prospect and potential of widening their use. These initiatives can help countries to formalise artisanal mining practices and limit illegal mining.

In this paper, we re-examine the properties of two commonly adopted government reimbursement schemes for pharmaceuticals: reference pricing and fixed percentage reimbursement. We depart from the previous literature by assuming that the individual demand is price-sensitive and depends on the copayment rate (i.e., the part paid by each consumer). We obtain two novel results under reference pricing: first, as the copayment rate increases, so do pharmaceutical prices; second, this increase in pharmaceutical prices reduces social welfare. Whilst reference pricing does emerge as a preferable reimbursement scheme, demand elasticities and the copayment rate interact in complex ways. This leads (unexpectedly) to the possibility that a higher copayment rate (lower reimbursement rate) results in higher government expenditure.

Causes of Avalanches
Avalanches can be caused by many different things. Some of them are natural. For example, new snow or rain can cause accumulated snow suddenly to dislodge and cascade down the side of a mountain. Earthquakes and the natural movements of animals have also been known to cause avalanches.

The history of the Depression era in Buffalo and Western New York will gain a little more attention – and likely become more accessible to the public – thanks to a new leadership grant awarded to the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system.
The grant, just under $320,000, was made by the Institute of Museum & Library Services, which awards leadership grants nationally. The federal agency also awarded grants to 51 other museums and libraries across the country, library officials said.
The funding directed to Buffalo is intended as a two-year grant, library officials said, to fund an ongoing project known as "The Public Library as Digitized Commons – A Demonstration Project." The project got started in 2009.
The goal of the project is to create a first-ever catalog of resources related to Buffalo's history from the 1920s and 1930s, according to library officials.
An aim of the project is to make the region's Depression-era history accessible and searchable for the public, and to connect the public with this history in new ways.
"This project will generate deeper collaborations, new types of access to library and regional resources, and new ways to share the stories of our local heritage," Library Director Mary Jean Jakubowski said in a statement.
The Institute for Museum & Library Services is a source of federal support for 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums across the country.

Rivelin Dam, Peak District National Park
Rivelin Lower Dam is used to supply water to the nearby treatment works. The upstream face is protected with stone pitching which has weathered over the years and more recently suffered from some vandalism. A long-term solution was required to strengthen the upstream face and which was acceptable to the Peak Park Planning Authority.
Yorkshire Water proposed Open Stone Asphalt or repairs to the stone pitching. Although there were initially concerns over the visual impact of OSA, we proposed to surface-dress the layer of OSA with a gravel which helped the revetment blend in with the natural stone wave wall.
Other Safety & Environmental benefits of OSA over pitching repairs included a quicker installation time, longer life-expectancy, and majority machine-work rather than hand-work.
Lean Sand Asphalt was used to fill voids in the pitching before a layer of 150mm OSA was placed over the upstream face.
- 1,500 m2 of upstream face protected.
- Lean Sand Asphalt placed to fill voids between stone pitching
- Minimum of 150mm Open Stone Asphalt placed over upstream face.
- Crest trench for OSA used to provide additional stability due to steep slopes up to 1 in 1.5
- Non-limestone aggregate used due to acidic water
- Gravel surface dressing applied to OSA surface to reduce visual impact of work.

Effects of static recrystallization on texture evolution and formability in Mg-Al-Zn (AZ) and Mg-Li-Zn (LZ) alloys have been investigated. The effect of static recrystallization appears in an opposite way in AZ and LZ alloys, i.e., the basal texture becomes stronger in AZ alloys, while it becomes weaker in LZ alloys. Since LZ alloys have lower c/a ratio than AZ alloys, compression or double twin forms more abundantly in LZ alloys. The accelerated static recrystallization in the compression or double twinned region leads to a weaker basal texture evolution in LZ alloys. Double basal peak intensity maxima in as-rolled state changed into weaker single intensity maximum due to the effect of static recrystallization during post-annealing. As a result, LZ alloys exhibit much enhanced formability than AZ alloys.

Edden Hammons (born 28 Feb 1875[1] Webster County, West Virginia, died 7 September 1955[2] ) was an American fiddler from West Virginia. He was known for his idiosyncratic style, creativity, and the many (often exaggerated) folkloric tales about him.[3]
Edden Hammons was born to Jesse Hammons and Nancy Hicks on 28 February 1875 at Williams River in Webster County, West Virginia. He was the youngest in a family of seven. His three brothers (Paris, Peter, and Cornelius), as well as his father, played the fiddle. Edden took up the fiddle at an early age, playing on a fiddle made out of a gourd that his father made for him. His family was known for its musicians, woodsmen, and hunters.[3]
Edden progressed in his fiddle playing and soon obtained a store-bought fiddle. There are several different stories about this. In one, a friend of Edden's father asked Edden to play him a tune. Edden took out his gourd-fiddle and played for the man. Afterwards, the man was so impressed that he gave Edden his own fiddle. Another story refers to when a renowned fiddler named Bernard "Burn" Hamrick was playing for a local dance. After he finished playing, Edden's father asked Burn if Edden could play a few tunes on his fiddle. Burn agreed to let Edden play his fiddle, and was so discouraged afterwards by Edden's superior ability that he let him keep the fiddle. Whatever the story may have really been, it is sure that Edden received a nicer fiddle that his original one, and started to become well known as a fiddle player in his area.[3]
In his home, Edden was spoiled and spared from chores and work. These qualities would follow him into his adult life. A popular example among the Hammons family of Edden's distaste of work is shortly after his first marriage in 1892. His wife asked Edden to stop playing the fiddle, get a job, and support a family. Edden was quoted as saying "Pon [sic] my honor, I'll lay my fiddle down for no damn woman".[3] The two separated and were legally divorced in 1897. 10 days after the divorce, Edden married his second wife, Elizabeth Shaffer (despite pleas from Elizabeth's family members for her to not marry Edden). The two raised seven children and remained married until Elizabeth's death in 1954.[3]
Edden's family lived somewhat nomadically, moving from one place to another usually twice a year. Edden still rarely worked during these times. He supported his family through hunting, fishing, farming, moonshining and other odd jobs. His daughter, Emma Hammons, recalls that "[h]e whittled axe handles, he played for dances, different things. He picked up money that way. Ginseng, he'd get money that way. It was against the law but he would kill squirrels, turkeys and sell them, or fish - he always had a couple dollars in his pocket somehow".[3]
Edden continued his fiddle playing throughout his adult life. At this point he was regarded as one of the best fiddlers from West Virginia. He won many fiddle contests. People would visit at odd hours just to hear him play, and on some occasions, people would have him play music over the phone while the neighborhood listened in. Other anecdotes appear from this era, such as how Edden would show up somewhere to play music, and would carry his fiddle in a flour sack (with the flour still inside it). His nephew, Currence, recalls when "[Edden] just walked over to the corner and picked up the flour poke and they all got to looking to what he was getting. He pulled that old fiddle out and flour all over it. He dusted it off, blowed it off, you know. Some of them went to laughing and hollering about that flour. 'Upon my honor,' Edden said, 'that's just as good as the best cases every made,' he said, 'that flour makes her play good.'" [3]
On 7 September 1955, Hammons died of coronary thrombosis at Renick in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.[4] His death record cites his occupation as fiddler.[5]
To this day, Edden Hammons is still a very well respected fiddler. He has recorded many solo fiddle tunes on two compilations of his music.
Although occasionally accompanied by his son, James, Hammons typically played alone. Consequently, he was able to play some tunes in odd time signatures, play certain parts as many times as he found fit, and change the tempo at his will without having to worry about throwing off a band. He was also known for playing several variations of the same melody within a tune, adding a lot of ornamentation, and occasionally tagging on a few extra beats to some parts (such as "Big Fancy").
Edden is one of the few, if not the only, sources of many traditional songs that are popular today. These include "Shaking Off the Acorns", "Sandy Boys", "Big Fancy", and "Old Greasy Coat". His influence is still widespread among old-time fiddlers and other musicians within the old-time genre.
In August 1947, Louis Chappell recorded 52 tunes by Edden Hammons. These were released as two separate LPs. The first was "The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume One", which contained 15 of these recordings. Some of these tunes included "Washington's March", "Shaking Off the Acorns", and "Fine Times At Our House".[3] The second release was a two-disc set called "The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume Two", which contained more recorded songs from the same session. This release contained such tunes as "Birdy", "Jake's Got the Bellyache", and "Big Hoedown". Both of these LP's were released in 1984

Nondestructive determination of fresh and spent nuclear fuel rod density distributions through computerised gamma-ray transmission tomography
The morphology of single PWR UO2 fuel rods has been investigated by employing computerised gamma-ray transmission tomography. Four highly burnt fuel rods of different burnups (from 52 GWd/t to 126GWd/t) and a fresh rod have been investigated. This paper describes the tomographic station built to acquire the projections together with the related experimental procedure, followed by the description of the image reconstruction techniques implemented. The principal results obtained are presented and analysed at three levels. First, the derived linear attenuation coefficient matrix, which is very useful for the implementation of emission tomography, is discussed. Second, the variation of density as a function of rod radius is presented, showing an interesting morphological change of the fuel with burnup. Particularly for the highest burnup sample, the periphery is characterised by a lower density (a steep decrease of almost 10% from the adjacent region) characteristic of an ultrahigh-burnup high-porosity structure. Finally, the nondestructive derivation of the volume-averaged fuel density was performed, compared with other experimental data, and plotted as a function of burnup, so that an interesting linear relationship between density and burnup was established, providing a potential indicator for the noninvasive determination of nuclear fuel rod burnup.

How an ancient Egyptian artefact was discovered in Aberdeen - and what it is?
Wednesday, 16th December 2020, 4:02 pm
Updated Wednesday, 16th December 2020, 4:09 pm
In a miraculous case of 'the right place at the right time' an Egyptian researcher at the University of Aberdeen has discovered an ancient artefact which has been missing for over a century.
Wooden splits found in a cigar tin in the university's Asia collection, could have been mistaken for something insignificant.
But the relic has now been confirmed as belonging to the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
So why is the discovery so important, and how did the artefact end up in Aberdeen of all places?
What is the missing artefact?
The wooden fragments of the relic date back to somewhere between 3341-3094BC, making it around 5000 years old.
The cedar wood pieces are part of the Dixon Relics, originally discovered in the pyramid's Queens Chamber in 1872 by engineer Waynman Dixon.
Some have speculated that the piece of cedar was originally a measuring rule which may have been used for construction of the pyramid.
What are the other Dixon Relics?
The other two artefacts which make up the collection are a ball and hook.
They are now housed in the British Museum.
How did the artefact end up in Aberdeen?
It is thought that engineer Dixon befriended James Grant, a medical student at the university, after they met in Egypt while Grant was helping with an outbreak of cholera in the 1860s.
Grant then assisted Dixon with the exploration of the Great Pyramid, where they discovered the relics in 1872.
During this time, Dixon gave the cedar wood to Grant and it remained in his possession until his death in 1895, when the rest of his collections were then donated to the University of Aberdeen.
However, the wooden splints remained with his daughter until 1946 when she then handed them over to the university.
There was no classified record of this donation and so there was no official record of the artefact being stored there among the hundreds of thousands of other pieces of history stored in various collections.
Who discovered the missing piece in Aberdeen?
In 2001, a record indicating that the wood fragment may have been donated to the University of Aberdeen's museum collection was discovered.
However, the record had never been classified and the artefacts never materialised, until they showed up in 2019.
While Egyptian researcher and curatorial assistant Abeer Eladany, was sorting through the Asia collection at the university, she recognised a cigar tin with the former Egyptian flag on it.
After cross-referencing the fragments inside with other records, she recognised them as the missing artefact.
The archaeologist, originally from Egypt, said of her discovery: "I'm an archaeologist and have worked on digs in Egypt but I never imagined it would be here in north-east Scotland that I'd find something so important to the heritage of my own country.
"It may be just a small fragment of wood, which is now in several pieces, but it is hugely significant given that it is one of only three items ever to be recovered from inside the Great Pyramid.
"The university's collections are vast – running to hundreds of thousands of items – so looking for it has been like finding a needle in a haystack. I couldn't believe it when I realised what was inside this innocuous-looking cigar tin."
Despite the artefacts being discovered in 2019, coronavirus held up the dating of the wood, but results now show it can be dated to somewhere in the period 3341-3094BC.
What is the Pyramid of Giza?
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in a complex bordering Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt.
Dating back to around 3000 B.C., it is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as well as the only one still remaining as it appeared thousands of years ago.
It originally stood 146.5 metres high, making it the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years - until the Lincoln Cathedral was built in 1311.
The pyramid is made up of three chambers - the Lower Chamber, the Queen's Chamber and the King's Chamber.
It was initially thought that the pyramid was built for Pharaoh Khufu - however, the dating of the cedar wood artefact could call this into question as they are thought to date back to 500 years before Khufu was born.
Why is the discovery so important?
The new dating of the cedar wood raises questions about the history of the pyramid, as they date back to some 500 years earlier than it was believed the Egyptian pyramid was built.
The pyramid is the last Wonder of the Ancient World which is largely intact and the relics are one of only three remaining original objects from the time the pyramid was built.
Neil Curtis, head of museums and special collections at the University of Aberdeen, said: "Finding the missing Dixon relic was a surprise but the carbon dating has also been quite a revelation.
"It is even older than we had imagined. This may be because the date relates to the age of the wood, maybe from the centre of a long-lived tree.
"Alternatively, it could be because of the rarity of trees in ancient Egypt, which meant that wood was scarce, treasured and recycled or cared for over many years.
"This discovery will certainly reignite interest in the Dixon relics and how they can shed light on the Great Pyramid."

Enoch Bartlett
American merchant
Enoch Bartlett (1779–1860) was a farmer from Dorchester, Massachusetts.
He bought Thomas Brewer's farm in Roxbury. This farm had a field of pear trees, which he named after himself, as he did not know the fruit already had a name.
In 1828 a new batch of pear trees arrived from England, and it was realised that the Bartlett pear was the same as the Williams pear, but by this time the name had stuck, and is still the commonest name for this type of pear in Canada and the United States.


of a value, it also has another use: since "Find" returns the default value for the type T to indicate "not found", you need to use Exists for predicates that might match null or zero, such as: bool containsEven = list.Exists(delegate(int x) { return (x % 2) == 0; }); TrueForAll(Predicate<T>): Similar to Exists, but determines whether the predicate is satisfied by all elements of the list. For example, this line of code might run some tests and see if they all pass: if (tests.TrueForAll(delegate(Test t) { t.Run(); return t.SuccessCode == 0; }) FindAll(Predicate<T>): Creates a new list containing all elements satisfying a predicate. In functional languages this is sometimes called select or filter, as we're "filtering out" the parts of the list not satisfying the predicate. Here's an example which, in a single line, gets a list of all processes using more than k threads: List<Process> x = new List<Process>(Process.GetProcesses()).FindAll( delegate(Process p) { return p.Threads.Count > k; }); FindIndex(Predicate<T>): Just like Find, except that instead of returning the first value that satisfies the predicate, it returns its index in the list. For example, this expression yields the index of the first alphabetical character in a string: new List(s.ToCharArray()).FindIndex(Char.IsLetter) FindLastIndex(Predicate<T>): Same as FindIndex, except that it finds the last occurrence satisfying the predicate. ForEach(Predicate<T>): Simply executes the given delegate on each member of the list. Although just using a foreach loop is cleaner than using ForEach with an anonymous delegate, ForEach is still handy if you already have a named delegate, as in this example that deletes all the files in the current directory: new List<string>(Directory.GetFiles(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())).ForEach(File.Delete); ConvertAll(Predicate<T>): Perhaps the most powerful of the delegate-based List methods, ConvertAll feeds each element of the list through a conversion function, producing a new list. In functional languages this is often called map because, like a mathematical function, it "maps" one set to another. Here's a simple example which produces a list of strings that are the lowercased versions of the strings in the original input list: list.ConvertAll(delegate(string s) { return s.ToLower(); }); What's more, besides being individually useful, complex transformations can be achieved by chaining these methods together in clever ways. For example, here's two lines of code that produce a list of all files larger than a given size in a given directory: static List<string> GetBigFiles(string directory, int bigLength) { List<string> paths = new List<string>(Directory.GetFiles(directory)); return paths.ConvertAll<FileStream>( File.OpenRead ).FindAll( delegate(FileStream f) { return f.Length >= bigLength; } ).ConvertAll<string>( delegate(FileStream f) { return f.Name; } ); } The first ConvertAll opens all the files by using the static library method "File.OpenRead" as the converter. The FindAll filters out just the FileStream objects corresponding to large files. The final ConvertAll extracts the filenames from each stream. Each of these "list filters" is independently reusable. At first this way of programming may seem unusual or cumbersome, but just compare the size of the above method to a procedural implementation. Don't forget also that you can write your own methods taking delegates to reap more benefits from anonymous delegates. A frequently useful application is for error handling and debugging code. Suppose you find yourself writing several methods that all look like this: void foo() { Debug.Write("entering foo()"); try { // Do some stuff } catch (Exception e) { // Do some stuff throw; } Debug.Write("exiting foo()"); } It's not clear how to factor out the two "Do some stuff" parts, since they're nested right in the middle of the method. Once again, anonymous delegates are the answer. We can write a method like this taking delegates for the parts that get filled in: delegate void DoAction(); delegate bool ProcessException(Exception e); void DebugInvoke(string name, DoAction action, ProcessException processException) { Debug.Write("entering " + name); try { a(); } catch (Exception e) { if (processException(e)) { throw; } } Debug.Write("exiting " + name); } Now we can mix-and-match try bodies and catch bodies at will, and get the tracing for free: void foo(int x, int y) { int z = 0; DebugInvoke("addFoo", delegate() { z = x + y; }, OverflowHandler); DebugInvoke("addBar", delegate() { z = z + x; }, delegate(Exception e) { Debug.Assert(false); return true; }); DebugInvoke("addBaz", delegate() { y = z + z; }, OverflowHandler); } static bool OverflowHandler(Exception e) { if (e is OverflowException) { Debug.Write("Encountered overflow"); return true; } return false; } Unfortunately, anonymous delegate syntax, while much more concise than the alternative, is still a bit verbose, requiring not only the word "delegate" but full argument lists. One of the goals of the next version of C# is to encourage the use of these functional idioms, partly by introducing a new closure syntax that will take advantage of type inference to overcome this syntactic overhead. Just remember to keep this rule of thumb in mind: if you're iterating over a list, and the body of the foreach is pretty small, chances are you don't need to. See if you can do the same thing more concisely and with less risk using a combination of the above methods and anonymous delegates (and amaze your coworkers). I hope you found this article helpful.MSDNArchive large numbers with quadratic sieveToday I'm going to talk about how the quadratic sieve factoring algorithm works, giving a comprehensive description assuming knowledge of only basic university-level mathematics. The foundation of the most popular public-key cryptography algorithm in use today, RSA, rests on the difficulty of factoring large integers. When keys are generated, efficient algorithms are used to generate two very large prime numbers and multiply them together. The person who generated the keys knows these two numbers, but everyone else only knows the product. The product contains enough information to encrypt a message to the person; the two primes allow the recipient to decrypt it. There is no known way to decrypt it without using the primes, but by factoring, we can extract the two prime factors from the product and break the encryption. At the time that RSA was invented in 1977, factoring integers with as few as 80 decimal digits was intractable; all known algorithms were either too slow or required the number to have a special form. This made even small, 256-bit keys relatively secure. The first major breakthrough was quadratic sieve, a relatively simple factoring algorithm invented by Carl Pomerance in 1981, which can factor numbers up to 100 digits and more. It's still the best known method for numbers under 110 digits or so; for larger numbers, the general number field sieve (GNFS) is now used. However, the general number field sieve is extremely complicated, and requires extensive explanation and background for even the most basic implementation. However, GNFS is based on the same fundamental ideas as quadratic sieve, so if factoring the largest numbers in the world is your goal, this is the place to start. We'll begin by addressing a few problems that at first glance have nothing to do with factoring, then assemble them into a working algorithm. I won't be motivating them first, but trust me - they're important. Finding a subset of integers whose product is a square Suppose I give you a set of integers and I ask you to find a subset of those integers whose product is a square, if one exists. For example, given the set {10, 24, 35, 52, 54, 78}, the product 24×52×78 is 97344 = 3122. The brute-force solution, trying every subset, is too expensive because there


Web 2.0 and social media has transformed users from passive audiences to active participants in new production and distribution. The change is particularly prominent in a few digital news portals that encourage users to register as news reporters. While the juxtaposition of users-generated news (UGN) and organization-generated news (OGN) has significantly affected news industry, scientific understanding of this phenomenon remains scant. To fill the research gap, this paper proposes an integrated model to investigate the difference between UGN and OGN in their linguistic feature and temporal pattern, and examine their subsequent effect on circulation performance. The research model will be tested with 450,514 news crawled from Jinritoutiao.com, a popular online news portal in China which embraces both UGN and OGN on its platform. This paper is expected to contribute to literature by revealing the strategic behavior of UGN in pursuit for circulation performance.

Is there an easy way to create and Object and set properties in C# like you can in Javascript.
Example Javascript:
var obj = new Object;
obj.value = 123476;
obj.description = "this is my new object";
obj.mode = 1;

Errm, do you mean creating an object in general or creating an actual System.Object and adding properties dynamically? – Yuck Jul 8 '11 at 14:29

try c# anonymous classes
var obj = new {
 value = 123475,
 description = "this is my new object",
 mode = 1 };
there are lots of differences though...
_USER_ Kolupaev & _USER_ mentioned another approach with dynamic keyword

In case, it you want to create un-tyed object use ExpandoObject.
dynamic employee, manager;
employee = new ExpandoObject();
employee.Name = "John Smith";
employee.Age = 33;
manager = new ExpandoObject();
manager.Name = "Allison Brown";
manager.Age = 42;
manager.TeamSize = 10;
Your's other option is to use anonymous class, but this will work for you, only if you would use it in scope of method, since it can't be passed outside or as a parameter.
But, IMO, to take full advantage of C#, it's better to switch programming paradigm to strongly-typed, that is C# is designed for.

In C# you could do:
var obj = new SomeObject {
 value = 123476,
 description = "this is my new object",
 mode = 1

What is an Outdoor Computer?
Back to Glossary
What is an Outdoor Computer?
An outdoor computer is designed to withstand the elements—whether it is an outdoor kiosk in a national park that helps tourists or a monitoring system designed to track motorists' license plates. It is generally part of a larger system which may include a display. Many outdoor computers have NEMA 4 enclosures. NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturer's Assocation) sets standards for grades of electrical enclosures and NEMA 4 is rated as watertight. Outdoor computers must have displays that are easily visible in all lighting conditions.
Important Features for an Outdoor Computer
As an outdoor computer is required to operate 24/7, it must be extremely reliable. Many are fanless, as fans are moving parts that can break down, and are passively cooled instead. To protect against dust and water, an outdoor computer is entirely enclosed, which can cause a problem in regards to overheating. An outdoor computer is often subject to power useage limitations and thus must be able to run with less power.

Keys to Aging Cheddar Cheese
- Be sure that the cheese is in a controlled environment and the temperature is between 46°F and 52°F for best aging. At Golden Age Cheese we age our cheese at a constant 48°F.
- The Cheese must have a good seal so the cheese does not mold during the aging process.
- The cheese should not be exposed to natural light while in the aging process.
- Time is key! "The longer the cheese sits, the sharper it gets". A good start is 18 months for sharp Cheddar, but age it yourself for as long as you please.

Threat Assessment Team
The Threat Assessment Alert Team (TAAT) is dedicated to a proactive, coordinated and planned identification, prevention, assessment, management, and reduction of interpersonal and behavioral threats to the safety and well-being of students, faculty, staff and visitors of Roxbury Community College.
Threat assessment is designed to be a preventative process used to identify warning signs and intervene before something preventable happens. Cases are NOT managed on a first-come, first served basis. Rather, all cases are triaged and the most serious cases are managed first. All cases, regardless of the immediacy, will be reviewed and managed in the manner most appropriate for the situation.
In the event of an imminent or significant threat posed, the matter should be immediately referred to the College's Office of Public Safety and/or the Boston Police Department. This document outlines the process the team will follow upon receiving a referral for threatening, problematic, or concerning student behavior.
The College has a commitment to ensure that no retaliatory actions are taken against any person or persons who submit a referral form to the team.

The growth and collapse history of two pingos located approximately 18 m a.s.l, and 35 m a.s.l. in Kuganguag, Disko lsland, west-central Greenland were examined. The pingos of this area were formed on Tertiary basalt rocks. One of the pingos is located in the middle of an alluvial fan, the other is on a river bed. Both have already collapsed. The pingo on the river bed had already collapsed at least 3545±60 year BP (14C dating from base of the pond sediments in the pingo crater). Both pingos formed after the sea's retreat as permafrost developed in the newly exposed delta bottom.

Summary Article: Rusk, (David) Dean (_PHONE_) from The Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia with Atlas and Weather guide
US Democrat politician. He was secretary of state to presidents J F Kennedy and L B Johnson 1961–69, and became unpopular through his involvement with the Vietnam War.
He was prominent in Korean War negotiations. Convinced of the need not to appease communist expansionism, he played a key part in the US decision to defend South Korea against invasion by North Korea. However, he advised President Kennedy against the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961.
Early career Rusk was born in Cherokee County, Georgia, the son of a Presbyterian minister, and studied politics at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. He taught political science on his return to the USA, before military service during the World War II, where he was involved in intelligence and guerrilla operations in Burma (now Myanmar). He joined the US State Department after the war and progressed to becoming assistant secretary for Far Eastern affairs 1950–51. In 1952, when the Republican general Dwight Eisenhower was elected president, Rusk left the State Department to become president of the internationalist Rockefeller Foundation.
A hawk Despite criticism from peace campaigners, Rusk never wavered in his advocacy of a firm interventionist line in Vietnam in an effort to halt the perceived spread of communism. Having been appointed secretary of state by Kennedy, he continued in that office under Lyndon Johnson, before retiring in 1969 to teach international law at the University of Georgia. Liberal on social issues but hawkish and internationalist on external matters, Rusk was an archetypal 'defence Democrat'.

Background: Affective disorders present an important clinical challenge in multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to prohibitive sample size requirements, population-based studies have not yet provided an adequate description of the underlying epidemiology of this association.
Objective: To describe the epidemiology of affective disorders in MS in a general population sample.
Methods: The study presented here accessed administrative data from a universal healthcare insurance plan in the Canadian province of Alberta. Physician billing data recorded in the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan was used to identify members of the population ≥15 years of age with and without MS. Crude and stratified estimates of the association between affective disorders and MS were made. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate statistical interactions and to provide adjusted estimates of the association.
Results: The estimated prevalence of MS in the population within the targeted age range (2.3 million individuals) was 386/100,000 and that of affective disorders was 7.7%. As expected, an association between MS and affective disorders was identified (crude relative prevalence: 2.2). The association varied in strength over age-sex categories. Although the prevalence of affective disorder was higher in women with MS than men with MS, the association of MS with affective disorders was stronger in men. The strength of association declined with age in both men and women. Affective disorder prevalence in people with MS becomes similar to that of the general population in older age groups.
Conclusion: Affective disorders occur with an increased frequency in MS. This is true in men and women and across all relevant age groups, although the association gets weaker with advancing age. Higher frequencies of affective disorder occur in women with MS than in men with MS. The frequency of affective disorder in people with MS is highest in the 25–44 age group, and declines in older age categories.

Quality of life, health, and government perception during COVID-19 times: Data from Colombia
This analysis presents data collected through an online survey about the quality of life, health, subjective wellbeing, and government perception in four cities in Colombia during the COVID-19 crisis.
Four universities and a local newspaper promoted the survey to assess how the pandemic affected the population's quality of life in a broad range of social and economic aspects. Respondents were adults (+18 years old) living in the largest Colombia cities: Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla, totaling 1637 complete observations. Researchers used snowballing sampling strategy, social networks, a web page, and an advertisement in the partner newspaper for data collection.
This data set helps to conduct social research and policy reports about the consequences of the pandemic. The data enclosed in this paper includes socio-economic variables, income reduction, employment, household composition, teleworking, indebtedness, physical and mental health, physical activity behavior, subjective wellbeing, affective and communal relationships, institutional trust, and perception of government performance during COVID-19.
We aim at contributing to a better understanding of the consequences of the pandemic in Colombia and general in the Global South through the collection and dissemination of data for academic and policy purposes.
