Black Granite Stains
Malicious Stone Doctoring
Do you have black granite stains, ghost marks or white rings? Should black granite change over time? Below is a quick Q&A on the possible causes and solutions.
What Is Malicious Stone Doctoring?
Temporarily altering the look of the stone without telling you. Making a gray stone black. Taking a black stone with a few imperfections or color variations and dying it a solid black.
Black Granite Stains
Why Are Stones Doctored?
Sometimes stones are maliciously doctored to obtain a higher price. Sometimes they are doctored to make them look like a more expensive stone but are sold for less.
Altering the color of a stone without telling you is most common with the black granites. The blacker the stone the higher the price.
How Is It Done?
An industrial oil or a shiny black wax is applied to the surface of a gray stone to make it appear blacker or darker. On other stones, a topical paint might be applied to change the color of the stone.
What Happens?
Over time the doctoring agent wears off leaving rings or marks lighter than your stone.
These marks or rings look like black granite stains.
How Do I Know If A Stone Has Been Maliciously Doctored?
Test The Stone Before Buying It:
Resined Slab
 1. Try the Lemon Juice Test.
 2. Wet the unpolished side of the stone. What color is it?
 3. Look at the edge of the slab before it is fabricated. The edges of a doctored stone will look like a varnish was carelessly applied.
 NOTE: The edges of a resined stone also look like this. Resining is a good thing but MOST high quality black granites are not resined.
After Installation:
Remember that a true stain is always darker than the stained material. A true stain is NEVER lighter than material that is supposedly stained. If the area in question is lighter than the rest of the stone it is either:
 - Surface Damage - Etching. Your stone is sensitive to acids.
 - Doctored - Your stone is dyed.
Does Granite Etch?
MOST granites do not etch but some do!
How Can I Tell If My Stone's Been Doctored Or If It's Etched?
Look at the gloss of the stone where the MYSTERY MARK is. Still shiny? Etches are dull.
What If My Stone Is Doctored?
 1. If you were unaware of the doctoring and you paid for a different stone than was installed, have the fabricator replace it with the correct stone. OR,
 2. Remove all of the doctoring agent and live with the color.
How Do I Avoid Buying A Doctored Stone? Lemon Juice Test
 - Test the slab you plan to buy. Lemon Juice Test.
 - Have the fabricator put in writing that the stone has no artificial colors or temporary dyes applied.
Will My Fabricator Knowingly Install A Dyed Stone?
MOST fabricators will not knowingly install a dyed stone.
"If doctoring produces a permanent result and it's disclosed to you, theres nothing wrong with it.
If the doctoring produces a temporary result and you are unaware of it, that is deceptive".

When you design an actions pane control, it can be helpful to resize the control to the width of the task pane so that you can see exactly what the controls will look like when they are visible on the task pane. The actions pane control can be found in the New Items dialog box.
1. Create a new Excel Workbook solution using VSTO.
2. Right-click your Excel solution in Solution Explorer, point to Add, and then click New Item.
3. In the Add New Item dialog box, click Actions Pane Control, and then click Add. See Figure 5.3, presented earlier, for an example.
4. Expand the Size property for the control and set the width to 200.
You can add Windows Forms controls to the design surface of the actions pane control by dragging the controls from Toolbox.
5. Add two Label controls, and change the second label to resemble a text box by selecting a white background color, adding a border, and changing the AutoSize property to False (see Figure 5.4).
6. Keep the default name of the label (Label1) for the first label on the control, and change its Text property to Formatting of Active Cell.
7. Change the name of the second label to SelectionFont, set the Tex-tAlign property to MiddleCenter, and clear out any text.
You should also change the anchor of each of these controls so that the labels resize if the task pane is resized. Set the Anchor property to Top, Left, Right for each label. The code to add this actions pane control to the action pane should be added to the Startup event handler of ThisWorkbook. The variable to reference the control is created at the class level as a public variable so that you can access it from the worksheet using the Globals class.
8. Add the code in Listing 5.7 to the ThisWorkbook class, replacing the existing Startup event handler.
Listing 5.7. Displaying the actions pane control on the actions pane Public ActionsControl As New ActionsPaneControl1

The Endowed Progress Effect
How Artificial Advancement Increases Effort
Download a pdf version of this paper.
- Joseph C. Nunes
- Journal of Consumer Research
2006, 32 (4), 504-12
- This research documents a phenomenon we call the endowed progress effect whereby people provided with artificial advancement towards a goal exhibit greater persistence towards reaching the goal. By converting a task requiring eight steps into a task requiring 10 steps, but with two steps already complete, the task is reframed as one that has been undertaken and incomplete rather than not yet begun. This increases the likelihood of task completion and decreases completion time. The effect appears to depend on perceptions of task completion rather than a desire to avoid wasting the endowed progress. Moderators include the reason, if any, offered for the endowment, and the currency in which progress is recorded.

THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATIC FACTORS AND TECHNOLOGY IN SOME POTATO VARIETIES GROWN ON SANDY SOILS
Less favorable conditions on sandy soils in southern Oltenia limited number of
species and varieties grown in the area. Drought and high temperatures in recent yearsÂ (maximum 430 C in air, ground 700 C) acted as dehydrating forces on plants, disruptingÂ their metabolism.
Very high air temperature in July and August at 30 to 38.40 C relative humidity decreasedÂ to 25%, high soil surface temperature and lack of rainfall during the growing season,Â producing an imbalance of the water balance of plants.
Excessive sweating can dehydrate plants leaf level, close osteolele and diminish gas

Expert US Expat Tax Preparation. Simplified. Resolved. Designed to save you time and money.
The Bona Fide Residence Test is one of two tests that Americans living abroad can meet to qualify for the special allowances on their foreign income when filing expat tax returns. Some of the main expat tax benefits include the foreign tax credit, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), and the Foreign Housing Credit.
The Bona Fide Residence Test requires that a US taxpayer establish permanent residence in a foreign country. The other test, the Physical Presence Test, requires that a taxpayer only be abroad for 330 days out of a 365-day period. This article will discuss how to meet the expat tax return qualifications under the Bona Fide Residence test and why civilian military contractors are unlikely to pass the test.
Bona Fide Residence Test Qualifications
To qualify for expat tax credits using the Bona Fide Residence Test, a taxpayer must meet three requirements:
 1. The taxpayer must have foreign income. Earned foreign income includes salaries, wages, bonuses, and even self-employment income. However, it does not include dividends, interest, pension distributions and/or capital gains; this type of income is referred to as "passive" in the tax world.
 2. The taxpayer must have a "tax home" in a foreign country. A tax home is where a person is permanently or indefinitely engaged in work, regardless of where their personal residence is. To establish a tax home, a person must have a work engagement expected to last at least a year. Furthermore, if you have retained a personal residence (aka "abode") in the United States, you cannot be considered to have a "tax home" in a foreign country. This is the biggest test for military contractors to overcome.
 3. Third, the taxpayer must have been a bona fide resident of a foreign country for an entire tax (most often calendar) year. You do not obtain status as a bona fide resident by simply living in a foreign country for a year. You must have demonstrated an intention to stay in the foreign country for at least a year.
Who is a Bona Fide Resident?
So who is a bona fide resident exactly? Unfortunately, the IRS' definition of a "bona fide resident" is relatively vague. They do make note of several key factors, though:
 - A taxpayer's bona fide residence is not necessarily the same thing as his/her domicile. A domicile is a taxpayer's place where they intend to permanently return. Therefore, if you move abroad for an assignment (longer than a year), you can establish bona fide residence even if you intend to return to the US someday.
 - Your status as a bona fide resident is reflected in your intentions. If you retain your house and car in the US, make short but frequent return trips, and leave your immediate family in the US, it will be difficult to prove to the IRS that you are residing abroad for an extended or indefinite period of time. If you do not have the documentation as proof, you should be able to show the IRS in your actions that you are intending to reside abroad for at least a year. You can do this by establishing residence in a foreign country, integrating with the foreign culture (i.e. setting up a bank account, having professional relationships, etc), and other type actions.
 - You will not be considered a bona fide resident of a foreign country if you make an official claim to your resident country that you are a nonresident. Some foreign countries have expat tax benefits for temporary residents. The idea of the FEIE and foreign tax credit is to reduce the potential for double taxation. Therefore, if you have taken steps to reduce your foreign expat tax burden by telling the foreign country that you are a nonresident, you cannot make a contradictory statement to the IRS to reduce your US tax burden. This question is directly asked of the taxpayer on Part II, Question 13A of Form 2555:
I'm a Contractor. Why Don't I Qualify as a Bona Fide Resident?
The IRS has recently begun several initiatives to audit expat tax returns of civilian military contractors to examine their qualifications for FEIE and foreign tax credits claimed on their returns. The majority of these audits have resulted in the rejection of the FEIE. This is because military contractors are having a difficult time proving that they have established a foreign "tax home."
If you retain all of your assets and ties in the US, and work in various camps in foreign countries as needed by your employer, you're not really establishing a foreign residence and therefore cannot qualify as a bona fide resident of a foreign country. As a result, military contractors will likely be better served to use the physical presence test to qualify for the FEIE and foreign tax credit. For more information about the physical presence test, please see the IRS website.

What are dynamic numbers and why do I need them?
Dynamic numbers are used by Delacon's call tracking solution to accurately track visitors to your website. This pool of numbers are provisioned by Delacon exclusively for you to be used on your website.
When concurrent visitors browse your site, each visitor will see a different call tracking number.
This number will follow the visitor around the website and will display on the pages that you nominate as pages that you want visitors to call from.
When the visitor ends their web browsing session, the call tracking number will be available again for another web visitor.
Dynamic numbers are available as both standard text numbers and image numbers.
How many call tracking numbers do I need for my website?
Delacon has devised a formula to calculate the amount of call tracking numbers. Importantly, you only need to use this formula for the web pages that require call tracking numbers.
There are several steps involved in the calculation.
Step 1
For web pages that have the same termination point, divide the average number of visitors each hour to those pages by 60.
Step 2
Multiply the figure obtained in Step 1 by the average time visitors spend on those pages.
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for all other web pages where you want to display call tracking numbers that have different termination points.
Step 4
Add together the figures from the calculations.
Now you have the amount of call tracking numbers you require to accurately track calls from your website.
Here's a theoretical example
Let's say you have on average 240 visitors each hour to the web pages you want to display a call tracking number and that each visitor stays on the site for one minute. Under this scenario our call tracking solution would require 4 numbers that divert to one termination point. That's 240 divided by 60 and multiplied by 1.
However what happens if you divert call tracking numbers to a second termination point on select pages?
If those web pages also have an average of 240 visitors each hour and each visitor stays on the site for one minute, then you require 8 call tracking numbers. That's 4 plus 4.
The same theory applies if you require multiple numbers on the same web page to redirect to different termination points. When using the formula, you should multiply the result for that page by the amount of termination points from each call tracking number.
Dynamic number calculator
To make it easy for you, we have developed a dynamic number calculator. When using the calculator, you still need to make multiple calculations if you're displaying call tracking numbers on different pages that redirect to different termination points.

I intend to plot x-y coordinates of a traced object with scatterplot.density to use colour to show the density of points in the scatterplot instead of just displaying the points in a smooth scatterplot (smoothScatter). When I run the following short segment of the trace:
x <- c(69.8, 69.8, 70.07, 70.87, 70.87,72.48,73.02, 73.02, 74.36, 74.63)
y <- c(97.99,97.45,96.91,96.11,96.91,96.91,97.72,99.06,100.94,103.36)
par(mfrow = c(1, 1))
scatterplot.density(x, y)
I get the following error:
Error in image.default(x = 1, y = z, z = matrix(z, nrow = 1, ncol = length(col)), : increasing 'x' and 'y' values expected
I can blot the points in a smoothScatter without a problem, but this would not help once I add the full trace with 1500 x-y coordinates.
Any suggestions and help with the scatterplot.density problem would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

What I've found is that if the argument num.bins is high enough to seperate each point into a single bin then you will recieve the error. Try
scatterplot.density(x, y, num.bins=11)
scatterplot.density(x, y, num.bins=10)
the default is 64. That means 64 bins in the x axis and y axis. You either need to be lower you're bin number, add more points, or be content with the error. Hope that helps.
share|improve this answer
Thank you! That solved the problem. Also after including all other data points, it became obvious that 64 bins would be too detailed for the trace anyway. – user2510541 Jun 22 '13 at 0:33

Less Than Zero
This elevation map of the Beethoven basin is color-coded to show the height of features on Mercury's surface. Mercury lacks a "sea level", so the zero-point reference elevation is defined to be the mean planetary radius of 2440 km. Blue areas, such as within Bello crater on the floor of Beethoven, have negative elevations. The red and white areas to the southwest are more than 8 km higher than the lowest points in this area.

Preferences, Practices, and Virtues: An Ethical Reflection on the Universal Apostolic Preferences
The Society of Jesus has promulgated the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) for the decade 2019-29. We know what the UAPs are: to seek God, walk with the poor, accompany youth, and collaborate in the care of the earth. And we know what they are for: the ongoing conversion of persons and institutions in their commitment to the mission of reconciliation of justice. But what, exactly, is a "preference" anyhow? In this reflection, I draw on the moral tradition of virtue ethics to argue that the preferences are best understood as "practices" or, in other words, as the fundamental actions by which crucial virtues like mercy and justice are developed in persons and in institutions. I also argue that seeing the preferences as practices in the context of virtue ethics opens up fruitful possibilities for fostering engagement with the UAPs at Jesuit institutions of higher education.

Lee Kyouhong: Breathing of Light
Soluna Fine Art is delighted to present Breathing of Light, the first solo exhibition of the Korean glass artist Lee Kyouhong in Hong Kong. Within the exhibition Soluna Fine Art will present seven new mixed-media works highlighting Lee's current practice and exploration of the material and metaphorical qualities of glass.
In this latest series, Lee has created works that explore the materiality and phenomenological metamorphosis of glass to examine the concept of '정중동' '靜中動' (movements in stillness). Titled, Breathing of Light, these works predominantly work with a base layer of flat painted mirror and laminated glass primarily utilising red, yellow and blue, with three dimensional wedges of glass arranged irregularly on the surface. This compositional form confers Lee's perception of harmonic beauty in a chaotic situation, and visually describes his search for balance in life. The thematic juxtaposition of harmony in chaos is furthered by the contrast in textures of the glass elements. In this regard, despite the rough configuration of the wedges, they lie upon the flat surface like droplets of water making no physical indentation or impression on its serenity.

NIH commits $24 million annually for Big Data Centers of Excellence
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will fund up to $24 million per year for four years to establish six to eight investigator-initiated Big Data to Knowledge Centers of Excellence. The centers will improve the ability of the research community to use increasingly large and complex data sets through the development and distribution of innovative approaches, methods, software and tools for data sharing, integration, analysis and management. The centers will also provide training for students and researchers to use and develop data science methods.
Biomedical research is increasingly data-intensive, with researchers routinely generating and using large, diverse data sets. Yet the ability to manage, integrate and analyze such data, and to locate and use data generated by others, is often limited due to a lack of tools, accessibility and training. In response, NIH launched the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative in December (2012). This initiative supports research, implementation and training in data science that will enable biomedical scientists to capitalize on the transformative opportunities that large datasets provide. The investigator-initiated BD2K Center of Excellence funding opportunity is the first of several BD2K funding opportunities to be announced in coming months.
By encouraging the formation of interdisciplinary teams in a collaborative environment the BD2K Centers of Excellence also seek to increase the involvement of investigators outside of traditional biomedical areas who are experienced with data science.
Applicants responding to the BD2K Center of Excellence funding opportunity announcement should identify a research topic and propose research in data science. They should develop approaches, methods, software and tools for data integration, analysis, database development and management and visualization and modeling to address important research questions. The products from this R&D will be shared and distributed broadly to the research community. The centers are expected to interact as a consortium that cooperatively builds on individual research efforts.

text: Wrap advertising or a Vehicle Wrap is the term used in the marketing practice of completely or partially covering (wrapping) a vehicle in an advertisement or livery. The result of this process is essentially a mobile billboard. Wrap advertising can be achieved by painting a vehicle's outer surface, but an increasingly ubiquitous practice in the 21st century involves the use of large vinyl sheets as "decals." The vinyl sheets can be removed with relative ease, drastically reducing the costs associated with changing advertisements. While vehicles with large, flat surfaces (such as buses and light-rail carriages) are often utilised due to ease, cars can also serve as hosts for wrap advertising, despite consisting of more curved surfaces.

WHO IS JONES? Why was this oldest bridge in the Philippines named Jones Bridge?
Puente de Espana, then Jones Bridge, to honor the man behind the Jones Act granting independence to the Philippine Islands.
WILLIAM ATKINSON JONES. Member of US House of Representatives from 1891 to 1918. Right about the same period when the US bought the Philippines from Spain for $20 million. Imagine that. US$20Million for 7,107 islands.
The Post Office Building and the Jones Bridge. Two landmarks rich in history.
Back to the question — why was the bridge named after Rep. William Atkinson Jones? Used to be called Puente de España since it was built in 1701 spanning over Pasig River and connecting Binondo to the core of the capital city of Manila. Originally done by Juan Arellano in the Neo-Classical design but destroyed and renamed Jones Bridge by the US Colonial Government in 1916 to honor the man who sponsored the bill, later enacted into law, granting independence to the Philippines. Bombed out in World War II, this formerly ornate arch bridge was yet again rebuilt but in simpler design after 1945. The oldest bridge in the country.
Not my copy. Credits to Old Manila Nostalgia.
When Jones died in 1918, the Philippines paid for the marker on his grave in gratitude for the Jones Act which granted Philippine Independence. So much history behind this bridge across Pasig River with a bonus grand view of yet another landmark, the Postal Office of Manila. Next time you head for Binondo or Chinatown and cross this bridge from Plaza Lawton, think Philippine Independence. 😉

Female Officer History
Female officer history :
The first woman hired in the United States as a Police Officer was Alice Stebbin Wells.
She was born on June 13 1873.
Alice was a pentecostal minister in Kansas, and through her work with the church, became familiar with issues involving juveniles and women and their victimization in crime.
Particularly due to their vulnerabilities, and what she believed to be an inability of the Police to empathize with their plight, Alice decided to pursue a career with the Police.
It wasn't easy. She wasn't welcomed in with open arms. Alice petitioned the Los Angeles Mayor, police commissioner and city council, before she was finally successful. Alice joined the Los Angeles Police Department, and was sworn in on September 12, 1910, becoming not only the first female Police Officer in the United States, but it is also believed, the world.
During her employment she also founded and was the first president of the International Association of Police Women.
She worked to promote acceptance and hiring of female officers, in both the United States and Canada.
Alice retired from the LAPD in 1940. She passed away on Aug. 17, 1957

What is W64?
W64 file is a Sony Wave64 Audio. Sony Wave64 is a file format that's similar to the RIFF format. The RIFF format allowed for approximately 4GB of audio data, which was sufficient to hold about 6 hours and 45 minutes of 16-bit/44.1kHz audio. The advent of multi-channel audio - such as 5.1 surround - and 24-bit/96kHz or 192kHz audio, made the RIFF format inconvenient. To accommodate the larger files, the Sony Wave64 is a true 64-bit file format designed to overcome the size limitations of the RIFF format.

How to Cure an Ageing Barrel
To enjoy your aged spirits, you must first go through the process of barrel curing. If you don't cure the barrel you will not be able to use it. Curing is the process of soaking the wood so that it does not absorb your precious spirits during ageing. Having the wood absorb moisture will make it expand. The curing process helps to get rid of any gaps in the wood, and gives the hoops a tighter grip. When you first receive your barrel, you may notice small gaps in the staves, or loosened hoops. This is normal as changes in temperature and humidity will cause the wood to expand or shrink in transit. As our barrels are hand made in America, they have a long journey before reaching you. Do not nail or screw the hoops into place. This will damage your barrel. Before curing your barrel tightly insert the spigot using a rubber mallet.
What is Barrel Curing?
The curing process helps you identify leaks in your barrel. All barrels are made without any prolonged contact with moisture, so they are as far from ready as they can be. When you fill your barrel for the first time there will almost certainly be leaks.
How Long Does it Take to Cure a Barrel?
The curing process can take up to a week, but this is an essential part of barrel ageing. Each barrel is unique, as the wood from each tree is unique. There is no set time for the barrel curing process.
How to Cure an Oak Barrel
 1. Rinse your barrel 3 times with water to remove any loose charred debris. Fill the barrel from the top, and flush it through the spigot
 2. Fill the barrel with warm water and insert the bung. Make sure to fill the barrel to the top until you can't fit any more in. Every part of the inside of the barrel needs to be in contact with the water
 3. If you identify leaks in your barrel, apply a small amount of barrel wax to the leaking area. Push the wax in to the hole until the leaking stops
 4. Top up the water after fixing any leaks
 5. Leave the barrel in a cool place, out of direct sunlight. We recommend placing on a drip tray to prevent damage to any surfaces
 6. Check for leaks periodically and apply barrel wax where needed
 7. Regularly top up the water to ensure all parts of the barrel absorb water
 8. The barrel is ready when it can hold water for at least 3 hours
 9. Once your barrel has stopped leaking, rinse it through 3 times
 10. Allow the barrel to dry for 3 hours before filling with your spirits
Your barrel is now ready to age spirits. Read our guide on How To Barrel Age Spirits for more information.

Artist Charles Sowers specializes in public art works and display of physical phenomena. In Windswept, Sowers displays wind patterns in the actual space.
Windswept is a wind-driven kinetic façade consisting of 612 freely-rotating directional arrows creating a large-scale observational instrument that reveals the complex interactions between the wind and the building. The wind arrows serve as discrete data points indicating the direction of local flow within the larger phenomenon.
Compare this to Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg's Wind Map or Nicolas Garcia Belmonte's map of wind motion patterns. We're essentially seeing the same data in action, but they're on completely different scales.

ABSTRACT: We have investigated a diastereoselective self-replicating system based on a cycloaddition of a fulvene derivative and a maleimide using a two-pronged approach of combining NMR spectroscopy with computational modelling. Two diastereomers are formed with identical rates in the absence of replication. When replication is enabled, one diastereomer takes over the resources as a "selfish" autocatalyst, while exploiting the competitor as a weak "altruist", resulting in a diastereoselectivity of 16:1. We applied 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques supported by ab initio chemical shifts as well as ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to study the structure and dynamics of the underlying network. This powerful combination allowed us to decipher the energetic and structural rationale behind the observed behaviour, while static computational methods currently used in the field did not.

Tea if by Sea, Cha if by Land
Tea if by Sea, Cha if by Land
Tea is one of those beverages that are universal. People explored the world for it, fought wars for it. Some say that the American Revolution was sparked by it, with the dumping of tea in the Boston Harbor.
But tea isn't just tea. In Russia, its pronounced chay, and the Arabic word for tea is shay. So why the difference? Simple, if it came by sea its Tea, and if it came by land its Cha.
Tea came from China, however, there were two major trading ports. "Sinitic" Chinese referred to the plant as cha and primarily exported it through the silk road. Countries, where this ran through, would refer to it as cha or some variant, such as chay, or shay. It even made its way to East Africa and was called chai in Swahili!
Tea, on the other hand, was traded primarily by Dutch traders through the ports of Fujian and Taiwan. The coastal provinces of China referred to their drink as "te", which the Dutch then called "thee". As this spread around Europe, all countries started putting their own spin on the word, from Te, to Tee in South Africa, and Teh in Java. Finally, the English referred to it as Tea, which is most well known.

On the map, you may have noticed that Portugal has a pink dot. That is because they were the first European explorers in Asia, and traded through Macao whereas you may have guessed, they referred to it as Cha.
By looking at this map you can see interesting views of globalization. On one hand, the Silk Road shows over a millennium of overland trade, while the sea routes show's a smaller, 400-year-old trade route. Both trade routes had significant impacts on the world you see today, as well as thousands of smaller impacts.

This article is part of a series in which we define and explain various wedding related terms. Perhaps you've heard the word dowry before in relation to weddings, so today we'll be answering the question:
What is a dowry?
Definition: A dowry is the money or goods that a bride's family gives to her new husband and/or his family when they are married.
Other terms associated with the exchange of wealth during a marriage are bride price and dower. A bride price refers to money that a groom would pay to his bride's father in exchange for her hand in marriage, while the dower is the property that is settled upon for the bride at the time of marriage so that she is taken care of should she survive her husband.
The history of the dowry
The parental giving of a dowry in exchange for their daughter's hand in marriage is an ancient custom that has been practiced all over the world, and still continues in some parts of the world. Many cultures still expect, or in some cases, demand a dowry as a condition to accept a marriage proposal, mostly in areas including Asia, Northern Africa and even certain regions of Europe.
The tradition of a dowry has decreased over time and it is no longer a common custom in developed countries or urban areas.
During the wedding ceremony, the custom of giving away the bride was an acknowledgment that the dowry had been negotiated and the bride had her father's blessing.
In ancient times, a hefty dowry could serve to increase the desirability of a woman for marriage. Men could potentially consider a marriage proposal based on the size of their expected dowry in order to build power and wealth for their own families.
In certain cultures such as Ancient Rome, the father was basically required to provide every daughter with a dowry appropriate to his means. If a father was unable to give a reasonable dowry for his daughter's hand, a relative or family friend might offer to help them out and provide the dowry on his behalf.
The purpose of a dowry
In ancient times, a dowry was given to the groom and his family in exchange for the bride as a way of ensuring that she is properly taken care of and comfortable. In those times, it was also expected that the bride would leave her family home to reside with or near her new husband's family. This gift would serve to provide a bit of financial security in the case of widowhood, and was thought to eventually provide for the couple's future children as well.
A dowry could also be considered a conditional offering that would be expected to be returned in the case of divorce, abuse, or other mistreatment of the bride.
In modern time periods, the dowry is intended to help set up the couple's new household, especially in cultures where it is rare for a woman to work outside the home.
In the case of the bride's passing, things could get a little hairy. If a woman died without having any sons, her husband would have to return the dowry to the bride's family, deducting the value of the bride price. The bride is also entitled to her entire dowry after her husband's death, and the dowry is only inheritable by her own children.
What was in a typical dowry?
A dowry could be made up of any combination of valuable things. Dowries often consisted of money, jewels or precious metals, land or property, home furnishings and more. In some cases, a groom had to ask his bride's permission to use or sell certain items contained within the dowry, such as land or property.
The evolution of the dowry
This dowry custom evolved first into a "trousseau" or hope chest. A trousseau is the collection of goods that a woman gathers in preparation for her future marriage. Ultimately, the bridal registry and bridal shower are later evolutions of the traditional dowry.

Apollo vibrations: Responding to today's stressful world
Information provided here is from
Apollo applies low frequency, inaudible waves of vibration that are demonstrated in both the lab and the real world to change the balance of our nervous systems through our sense of touch. Apollo waves bring balance to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and improve heart rate variability (HRV), the most reliable, non-invasive biometric of stress. It can be worn on the wrist or ankle.
Apollo vibrations feel like waves coming and going. This sensation feels natural because it is. Apollo's modes match a natural oscillation pattern between the heart and lungs when we breathe deeply, which consistently improves HRV. Apollo has seven modes to support life's activities:
 1. 1. Energy and Wake Up
 2. 2. Social and Open
 3. 3. Clear and Focused
 4. 4. Rebuild and Recover
 5. 5. Meditation and Mindfulness
 6. 6. Relax and Unwind
 7. 7. Sleep and Renew
When our bodies feel the rhythm of the Apollo vibrations, it is automatically recognized by the body as a soothing gentle touch, just like a friend giving you a hug on a bad day.
Preliminary findings suggest that the specific vibration patterns used in the Apollo technology increase the ability to focus and remain calm during periods of stress and that these specific vibration patterns improve the body's ability to recover and be resilient to stress, as measured by HRV. These improvements in HRV are accompanied by proportionate improvements in cognitive and physical performance under stress. Subsequent university pilots and trials have shown that Apollo consistently improves HRV under stress within 2-3 minutes, improves athletic recovery, and supports access to meditative states.

Introducing the flashing yellow left-turn arrow traffic signalsThe flashing yellow left-turn arrow signal is a new traffic management tool aimed at keeping traffic moving, increasing safety and reducing fuel consumption.
You may have already noticed some of the new signals at intersections of Iowa's roads and streets. The new signal features a flashing yellow left-turn arrow, in addition to a red, green and steady yellow arrow.
The flashing yellow arrow replaces the circular green signal used in the traditional left-turn signal configuration to indicate the need for left-turning vehicles to yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
Where are they being used?The Federal Highway Administration has adopted the flashing yellow arrow as a national standard for permissive left-turn operations. Several such signals have already been installed in Iowa. Others will be installed by the Iowa Department of Transportation and local jurisdictions throughout Iowa as agencies upgrade their traffic signals or make improvements at intersections.
The flashing yellow arrow may be used at any intersection at any time, but the most typical use will be at intersections and time-of-day that have lower traffic volumes, lower traffic speeds and other favorable conditions.
Why?The flashing yellow left-turn arrow is intended to:
- Help prevent crashes. A national study demonstrated that drivers found flashing yellow left-turn arrows more understandable than traditional yield-on-green indications.
- Reduce traffic delays. There are more opportunities to make a left turn with the flashing yellow left-turn arrow than with the traditional three-arrow, red, yellow and green indications. This helps reduce delays at intersections, which save time and fuel.
- Provide more traffic management flexibility. The new traffic signals provide traffic engineers with more options to handle variable traffic volumes.
How does a flashing yellow left-turn arrow work?A flashing yellow arrow means left turns are permitted, but you must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, and then proceed with caution. The flashing yellow arrow does not replace the solid yellow arrow and its meaning; it does replace the green "ball" indication as a signal for a yielding left turn.
Drivers should always remember: a flashing yellow arrow means turn with caution. Oncoming traffic has a green light.
Drivers should stop at the intersection and yield to oncoming traffic. If, and when, it is safe, make your left turn and proceed through the intersection. When the available time for the flashing yellow arrow ends, the solid yellow left-turn arrow begins. The solid yellow retains it standard meaning – the left turn signal is about to go to red, so you must prepare to stop or complete your left turn if already in the intersection.
How should drivers approach a flashing yellow left-turn signal?
Here's what the new signals look like and mean.The flashing yellow arrow traffic signals consist of four arrow lights that are used exclusively for left-turning traffic. The arrow traffic signals are separate from the traffic signals containing the circular "ball" lights for through traffic.
Steady red arrow: Drivers turning left must stop and wait.
Steady yellow arrow: The left-turn signal is about to turn red. Do not enter the intersection if you can stop safely. Complete your left turn if you are already within the intersection
Flashing yellow arrow: Yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians; then turn left proceeding with caution. Oncoming traffic has a green light.
Steady green arrow: Drivers can proceed with the left turn. Oncoming traffic must stop. Do not go straight.


text: Arctic journey was an experiential exhibition series that was realized as a part of HumanSee research project at the University of Lapland in 2016. The exhibition series seeked to experiment the multisensory ways of presenting personal experiences in the Arctic and to invite exhibition visitors into the co-creation of the installations. By exploring the exhibition formats, this article asks what is the role of co-design process in the construction of an arctic experience. Two of the exhibition cases included co-creation sessions, where the creation of the arctic experience was taken into a closer experimentation through the co-design process. Through qualitative content analysis and discourse analysis, the research findings suggest that arctic experience, even when not connected to personal experiences in the actual arctic region, is a reflection of the personal understanding of the marginal context that brings the stories of an individual into the core of the experience.

In the present paper a mathematical model for a mini-channel heat exchanger is proposed. Multiobjective optimization using genetic algorithm is performed in the next step in order to obtain a set of geometrical design parameters, leading to minimum pressure drops and maximum overall heat transfer coefficient. Multiobjective optimization procedure provides a set of optimal solutions, called Pareto front, each of which is a trade-off between the objective functions and can be freely selected by the user according to the specifications of the project. A sensitivity analysis is also carried out to study the effects of different geometrical parameters on the considered functions. The whole system has been modeled based on advanced experimental correlations in matlab environment using a modular approach.

About WWII Army Rank Chevrons
The US Army used a series of chevrons sewn on each sleeve to denote the ranks of PFC (private first class) up through all NCOs (Non-commissioned officers = Sergeants). Officers used collar insignia, not chevrons.
There are several types of chevrons used during WWII. As usual, reality and living historian fantasies often clash. Here is the historical reality. The three main styles of chevrons are wool, rayon and khaki.
In principle:
Khaki Chevrons were only for the khaki summer uniforms.
Wool Chevrons were for the Service Coats, Wool Shirts and "Ike" Jackets.
Rayon Chevrons were for Field Jackets.
However, in practice, the wool and rayon stripes can be found, originally sewn, on every style of uniform in the Army inventory. Khaki stripes are occasionally found on field and paratrooper jackets- I haven't seen them on wool shirts of service coats, but I wouldn't rule it out. There were also stencil kits issued allowing stripes to be painted directly onto field uniforms. Our grandfathers knew that rules are meant to be broken and often did so.
There is often some confusion on the background color of the wool and rayon insignia. It is actually a dark navy blue. Some appear to be black, and but in direct sunlight you can see that they are actually blue. The stripes themselves vary widelymany shades of olive or khaki can be found on originals. (Khaki chevrons use olive stripes on khaki background. The shade of olive varies greatly.) They were made by the million, so this is hardly a shock.
Again, being made by the million, there are numerous differences between manufacturers. Some are sewn, some folded, the weave varies, and many were sub-contracted in England. Left over insignia from World War One was also used, adding still more possibilities.
ATF reproductions:
In all cases, we copied originals. I chose those I consider to be among the most typical US produced varieties. All are excellent and very, very close to the original.

KYsearo is one of the specially authorised partner of TOYOBO in China. We use TOYOBO hollow fiber RO membrane to desalinate water in large systems of above 200TPD.TOYOBO hollow fiber RO membrane is the latest technological reverse osmosis membrane,its fresh water production capacity is 10 times than usual spiral wound membrane,so many seawater desalination successful huge projects are using this kind of membrane in Middle East area, and have kept 7 to 11 years working without replacing membranes. Kysearo takes 2000 TPD seawater desalination system as a group, all larger tons systems are designed upon this group, for example, 10000 TPD would be consisted of 5 groups of 2000 TPD system.
|The differences between Hollow Fiber and Spiral Wound RO Membrane|
1. More Simple Process Than Before
2. Membrane structure
3. Water production capacity
Hollow Fiber RO Membrane : Spiral Wound RO Membrane = 10:1
Hollow Fiber RO Membrane is wound efficiently in a cross-wound way without using additional base materials, The cross winding increases the hollow fiber spacing and improves its fouling resistance to achieve minimum pressure loss and uniform water flow, this way provide about 10 times the surface area compared to spiral wound elements.
This greater surface area is a key factor to product water capacity, therefore, hollow fiber RO membrane product about 10 times water capacity compared to spiral wound RO membrane.
4. How often change the RO membranes
Spiral Wound RO Membrane: 2~3 years
Hollow Fiber RO Membrane : 7~11 years
Here is average life comparison table of some large projects use Hollow Fiber RO Membrane.

3 Routine Costs Associated with Running a GP Surgery
Running a GP surgery is an important and vital role within the community. Because there are so many people that depend on your GP surgery, you need to ensure that you are running things properly from a financial perspective so that you can continue to give people the quality healthcare that they need on a regular basis.
GP surgery
If you are in the process of creating a budget for a new GP surgery, or even if you are currently evaluating the budget of your existing surgery, there are a number of routine costs that you are going to need to factor in and bear in mind.
Here are three such costs for you to consider as you create your budget.
1. Disposable Medical Supplies
Every medical facility now more than ever before is making use of disposable supplies like aprons, masks, gloves, and other PPE (personal protection equipment). While those within the medical community are no strangers to using PPE on a regular basis, the current situation that has unfolded over the last year has made it absolutely necessary to use such disposable equipment even more frequently than before.
Moreover, patients and visitors to your GP surgery are also required to use PPE as well as hand sanitizer. This has made it necessary for GP surgeries to factor such things into their own budget. Make sure that you have the cost of these and all of your other disposable GP Surgery Supplies factored into your monthly budget.
2. Equipment Maintenance
Aside from disposable medical equipment, your GP surgery is going to have plenty of other medical equipment on hand. Things like blood pressure cuffs, examination couches and beds, and diagnostic kits that include otoscopes need to be maintained properly so that they can be relied upon to work whenever they are required.
Since these items play such an integral role in the day-to-day operations of your surgery, you need to replace them whenever they fall into disrepair and take measure to maintain them so as to extend their lifetime. It is important to remember, though, that sooner or later, such things will need to be replaced entirely, and your budget needs to reflect that.
3. IT
When you think of a GP surgery, your mind might not initially jump to IT. However, all medical practices these days must use their fair share of technology in order to keep their practice running smoothly. Such software as can help to schedule appointments, keep medical records current, and act as cybersecurity to keep such records safe and secure.
Many GPs are also turning to online consultation forms in order to help alleviate the workload on the surgery itself. Such online forms can help patients get the advice and guidance they need without necessarily having to see the doctor. Such technology can go a long way to helping to improve the operations of your practice but bear in mind that they do come at a cost.

How long do leaves take to decompose?
It's autumn, which means that leaves are falling from the trees and covering the ground. If you're like most people, you probably just see them as a nuisance that you have to rake up. But have you ever stopped to think about how long it takes for leaves to decompose? It turns out that the answer is not as simple as you might think. The rate of decomposition depends on a number of factors, including the type of leaf, the moisture level, and the temperature. In this blog post, we will explore these factors in more detail and give you a better idea of how long it takes for leaves to decompose.
What is decomposition?
The process through which organic stuff decomposes into more basic organic or inorganic substances is called decomposition. The decomposition of leaves, for example, is caused by the action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms break down the complex carbohydrates and other molecules in leaves into simpler compounds that can be used by plants and animals.
The rate at which leaves decompose depends on a number of factors, including the type of leaf, the climate, and the presence of other organisms. In general, however, it takes several months for leaves to fully decompose.
The decomposition process
When leaves decompose, they do so through a process of decay. This process is caused by the activity of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, which break down the organic matter in the leaves. The rate at which this happens depends on a number of factors, including the type of leaf, the temperature, and the amount of moisture present. In general, however, it takes leaves several weeks or even months to fully decompose.
Factors that affect the rate of decomposition
There are many factors that affect how quickly leaves decompose. Some of these include:
-The type of leaf: Some leaves decompose faster than others. For example, oak leaves take much longer to break down than maple leaves.
-The size of the leaf: Larger leaves will decompose more slowly than smaller ones.
-The temperature: Warmer temperatures will speed up the decomposition process.
-The moisture level: If the leaves are too dry, they will not decompose as quickly. If they are too wet, however, decomposition will also be slowed down.
-The presence of other organic matter: Leaves will decompose more quickly if there is other organic matter present to help break them down (such as worms or other insects).
How long does it take leaves to decompose?
When leaves fall from trees in autumn, they begin to decompose. The process of decomposition is slower in colder climates, but generally, it takes leaves a few weeks to several months to completely break down and become part of the soil.
Leaves are broken down by bacteria and fungi, which release enzymes that accelerate the decomposition process. Oxygen is also necessary for decomposition to occur, so leaves will decompose more quickly in moist conditions where there is plenty of oxygen available.
As leaves decompose, they release nutrients that are essential for plant growth back into the soil, making leaf litter an important part of the ecosystem.
It's clear that leaves decompose at different rates depending on the type of leaf and the conditions it's in. However, in general, it takes leaves a few weeks to several months to completely decompose. So if you're looking to add some extra nutrients to your garden, consider using fallen leaves as compost. With a little patience, you can turn those dead leaves into something alive and beautiful.

Classes nornmally take place on Sunday evenings at 7.15pm in Cranmore One Clinic: 1 Cranmore Park, Belfast BT9 6JF
Samatha means calmness & tranquility, Samatha meditation is a breath-based mindfulness practice, which helps the busy mind to settle. Gradually, deeper states of tranquility and peacefulness develop; insight or understanding (Vipassana) follows.
The practice helps to achieve calmness, concentration and awareness. It is an effective but gentle way of training the mind to generate stillness, understanding and contentment.
Classes are open to complete beginners and to people with some experience of other forms of meditation. All are welcome.
The practice is taught in stages and usually takes up to 6 months to learn in full. Everyone progresses at their own pace and you can join the class at any point in the year.
Classes involve some instruction, a guided meditation and a short group discussion. You can sit on a chair or use cushions on the floor. Everyone has the opportunity to speak individually with the teacher. Tea/coffee is available at the end of the class.
There is no charge for the teaching, but a small donation (£5 if waged), to help cover costs is appreciated.
All Welcome!


text: We investigate the stationary and dynamical behavior of an Anderson localized chain coupled to a single central bound state. Although this coupling partially dilutes the Anderson localized peaks towards nearly resonant sites, the most weight of the original peaks remains unchanged. This leads to multifractal wave functions with a frozen spectrum of fractal dimensions, which is characteristic for localized phases in models with power-law hopping. Using a perturbative approach we identify two different dynamical regimes. At weak couplings to the central site, the transport of particles and information is logarithmic in time, a feature usually attributed to many-body localization. We connect such transport to the persistence of the Poisson statistics of level spacings in parts of the spectrum. In contrast, at stronger couplings the level repulsion is established in the entire spectrum, the problem can be mapped to the Fano resonance, and the transport is ballistic.

Cleaning and refurbishing of optical elements for lasers
The technology equipped with lasers cannot be without quality optical elements that need to be regularly checked and, if it is necessary, cleaned, refurbished or replaced. Early intervention can prevent situations where, due to the pollution of the optical element, the surrounding components are burnt and destroyed. This is accompanied by a significant financial expense and production stoppage for a repair time that takes more time than just routine checking.
Our regular inspections contain checking and optics cleaning. If needed, the optics is replaced by a new one and the original optics is taken to be refurbished, if its condition allows it and it is still economical.

A missing intensity interpolation method using a kernel principal component analysis (PCA)-based projection onto convex sets (POCS) algorithm and its applications are presented in this paper. In order to interpolate missing intensities within a target image, the proposed method reconstructs local textures containing the missing pixels by using the POCS algorithm. In this reconstruction process, a nonlinear eigenspace is constructed from each kind of texture, and the optimal subspace for the target local texture is introduced into the constraint of the POCS algorithm. In the proposed method, the optimal subspace can be selected by monitoring errors converged in the reconstruction process. This approach provides a solution to the problem in conventional methods of not being able to effectively perform adaptive reconstruction of the target textures due to missing intensities, and successful interpolation of the missing intensities by the proposed method can be realized. Furthermore, since our method can restore any images including arbitrary-shaped missing areas, its potential in two image reconstruction tasks, image enlargement and missing area restoration, is also shown in this paper.

Why is the isolation of hazardous energies associated with plant important?
A range of hazardous energies exists in mobile and fixed plant in mining operations, such as stored, electrical, and mechanical energies. During normal operating conditions, workers are generally protected from these energies by controls such as the plant's design and guarding.
However, when normal operating conditions are interrupted during work such as:
- clearing an obstruction
the consequences can be significant if isolation controls are deficient, removed, bypassed or deactivated and people are exposed to hazardous energies. It is important to ensure potential exposures to hazardous energies during such work are identified and controlled. The consequences of unwanted events can be serious or even fatal.
In the past, isolation processes in the mining industry were not given adequate emphasis. It was common practice to use tags only to identify that a circuit or item of plant was deactivated or de-energised and that personnel may be working on or around it. In many instances, the potential sources of hazardous energies were not recognised and isolation was not understood or properly applied.
A guideline on isolation of hazardous energies associated with plant in Western Australian mining operations is available for industry use.
The guideline provides information on the development of safe systems of work associated with the isolation of hazardous energies, where protection is required from:
- the movement or operation of plant
- the movement of materials handled by plant
- contact with energy
- used to operate plant
- used to carry out processes associated with plant
- produced or carried by plant
- stored within plant.
For an introduction to the damage that can be done by stored energy, see the toolbox presentation below on improving hazard awareness.


Over 200,000 Fish Found Dead in Argentine Lake
Environmental officials have several possible theories about what could have caused this, including insufficient oxygen in the water. That could have led to respiratory dysfunction or water contamination. Another possibility is that some sort of poisonous substance was dumped in the lake.
Because the lake supplies water to several nearby towns, the reservoir's water quality has been tested and the results will be announced in the upcoming days. Lake Ipizca, which attracts about 400 fishermen and water sports fans a week, will remain closed until this mystery has been solved.

Brazil scientists find signs of underground river
SAO PAULO (AP)? Brazilian scientists say they have found signs of a huge underground river flowing far beneath the Amazon River.
Valiya Hamza of Brazil's National Observatory says there are indications of a 3,700-mile (6,000-kilometer) long subterranean river located several thousand feet below the surface.
Hamza says the finding came from studying temperature variations at 241 inactive oil wells drilled in the 1970s and 1980s by Brazil's state-run oil company.
Hamza says the thermal information allowed his team of researchers to identify the movement of water 13,100 feet (4,000 meters) under the Amazon River.
