Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The former Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) station at St. Mary's Junction expresses the design of the initial GTR stations. It was built in 1858, and its mid 19th century Georgian form, stone walls and distinctive roof brackets still distinguish it from its surroundings today. This single storey station stands isolated in a field beside the track at the early railroad junction north of the town of St. Mary's.
The station at St. Mary's Junction has been designated a heritage railway station because of its historical, architectural and environmental significance.
The former Grand Trunk Railway (GTR) station at St. Mary's Junction was built in 1858 and is one of the largest and most original surviving GTR stations. Designed as a First Class Way Side Station by British architect Francis Thompson, it follows the modest Italianate style typical of contemporary British station design. It was constructed to the north of the town of St. Mary's as a (manual) control point for the junction of rail lines from Toronto to Sarnia and to London. Young Thomas Edison worked here as a controller during the early days of the station. By that time St. Mary's was already an established community, although it subsequently prospered from the nation-wide market the GTR provided for its local limestone.
The heritage value of the St. Mary's Junction Station resides in both its rarity and in the clarity with which it witnesses the design, composition, materials, and setting of original GTR stations. Value resides in its balanced massing and proportions, and in the elements of its design which express the standard early GTR Italianate style, form and detailing.

- the regular definition of its arcaded apertures,
- its Italianate details: arched openings, deep overhanging eaves, ornate end chimneys, circular gable window vents,
- the integrity of its exterior materials, particularly its local limestone and wood,
- the skilled craftsmanship with which its stonework is executed visible in regular stone courses, stone surrounds, arcades and chimneys,
- its solid wall construction,
- the integrity of its surviving early interior furnishings and fittings, their (primarily wood) materials, early form, composition, craftsmanship and finishes: including but not exclusive to the station's tongue-and-groove wainscot, wooden baseboards and picture rails and plaster walls and ceilings,
- continued legibility of the volumes and functions of specific spaces within the building.

How to Keep Clean After Diarrhea
Toilet Paper Can Be Painful, But There Are Other Ways To Keep Clean
Squeeze bottle squirting water
Any type of a bottle that squirts water can be used to clean your bottom without hurting the skin further with paper. Image © George Diebold / Getty Images
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presents many challenges to those who deal with the disease. One of the everyday problems that can be a real annoyance is how to keep the perianal skin (the skin around the anus) clean. Diarrhea, in particular, can present several different problems with keeping the bottom clean, especially when it is continuing and happening many times a day. Other complications such as fissures and fistulas can add to the discomfort.
Wiping with toilet paper, even if it's soft, can quickly result in raw and very painful skin.
What Are Some Options For Keeping Clean?
Most of us do not have access to one of the more advanced methods of cleaning a dirty bottom, which would be a bidet. A few of the other options to keep clean include getting in the bathtub and taking a shower or a bath, using wet wipes, or even washing with a damp cloth. Most of these include wiping, and if your bottom is sore, it probably won't be pleasant. However, another method that does not include any wiping at all could be as close as your medicine or kitchen cabinet.
A Squeeze Bottle To The Rescue
If you are experiencing pain in skin on your bottom and need a way to keep clean, you could try using a squeeze bottle full of warm water. Often these handy little bottles are offered to women after they have given birth, and are used for cleaning the perianal skin.
You could use any squeeze bottle you have on hand, such as those used for nasal irrigation (sometimes called neti pots), or even a water bottle with a "sports" cap on it.
Don't forget: you should label the bottle in some way, with indelible ink, to avoid this particular bottle being confused with one that could be used for drinking or for any other purpose.
This bottle should be designated just for use in cleaning up after a bowel movement.
Fill your bottle with warm water from the tap, and hold it below your bottom when you are finished with your bowel movement, but before you stand up. Squeeze the water anywhere it is needed, and the water will end up in the toilet, where you can just flush it away.
Once you are clean, you can dry off either by carefully blotting (not wiping!) the area with paper or with a soft towel. Another option is to use your blow dryer. Be extra careful if you use this method, and ensure that your hands are dry and that you are not getting the blow dryer in contact with water in any way.
Keeping Your Squeeze Bottle Clean
You will want to keep this bottle clean so that it doesn't end up with bacteria on it. Washing it in the bathroom sink with some dish soap should do the trick nicely. You could also wipe it down with antibacterial wipes. You might want to avoid washing the bottle in the kitchen sink so there's no chance of getting bathroom bacteria in the kitchen.
 To sanitize, first wash it with soap and water and then put it on the top rack of the dishwasher, as long as it's not made of the type of plastic that will melt in the heat.

Introduction / History
Marathi is actually a language that originated in what is now Maharashtra, a state in western India. Marathis migrated to Kenya from India in the late 1800s. They originally came as indentured workers to work in the construction of the Uganda railway. Once the construction of the railway was completed, many of the workers not only chose to stay in Africa, but they also sent for their families to join them. They settled in Nairobi where they had more privileges than local Africans.
Where Are they Located?
Marathi speakers live all over India, but also in Great Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, and just about any African country that was once a British colony, including Kenya. There are very few of them in Kenya today.
What Are Their Lives Like?
Their astute business acumen enabled them to set up thriving businesses. Their new found economic strength enabled them to wield political power as well. Even though they are well assimilated into Kenyan society through prolonged stay in the country, they still have very close ties to India. Marriage and other social ties only happen between members of their own community. This has ensured the strengthening of ties with their cultural and religious roots in India.
What Are Their Beliefs?
Marathi people in Kenya are mainly Hindu. Like most prosperous Hindu communities, religion is only a way to connect with their community and to gain favor with whatever spiritual forces control their lives.
What Are Their Needs?
Marathi people in Africa need spiritual hunger that will drive them to seek and find the abundant life offered by Jesus Christ.
Prayer Points
* Pray that the Marathis in Kenya will become part of God's kingdom as they experience the savior.
* Pray that their ability to make money and lead prosperous lives will not keep them from having the spiritual hunger it takes to seek and find Jesus Christ.
* Pray for a Disciple-Making movement among Marathi people in Kenya that will spread throughout Africa.

Can Coparcenary Property Be Sold?
Can mother make a will on ancestral property?
2017 Yes challenge the Will.
Will an individual can make for his or her sole self owned property or share in the property not the whole property if that has other owners or shareholders like ancestral property..
Is it true that ancestral property once divided becomes self acquired?
The prerequisite of an ancestral property is that an ancestral property should not have been divided or partitioned by the family members, as once a division of the ancestral property takes place, the share or portion which each coparcener gets after division becomes his or her self acquired property.
Who is a Coparcener?
A coparcener is a person who acquires interest in the joint family property by birth. The essential difference between a 'coparcener' and a 'member' of an HUF is that a coparcener can enforce partition of the HUF, while a member cannot.
What constitutes ancestral property?
Concept of Ancestral Property Property inherited by a Hindu from his father, father's father or father's fathers' father, is ancestral property. Any property acquired by the Hindu great grand father, which then passes undivided down the next three generations up to the present generation of great grand son/daughter.
Does Mother property belong to daughter?
The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, was amended in 2005 to give daughters an equal share in parental property. … However, it is important to note that if the father died before 2005, a married daughter will not have any right over ancestral property, while the self-acquired property will be distributed as per the will.
Can ancestral property be sold?
What is the difference between ancestral property and Coparcenary property?
A property is ancestral when acquired through inheritance from ancestors, this property is always shared by members of a coparcenary equally. On the other hand property is self acquired if it is earned by own efforts/learning or other human endeavour.
Is widow a Coparcener?
According to Mitakshara law, only a coparcener can be a karta or manager of an HUF. Therefore, since a Hindu widow is a member of the HUF but not a coparcener, she cannot be a karta of in her husband's HUF.
Does daughters have equal rights in father's property?
Supreme Court rules that daughters have equal rights in their father's property. In its decision, the Supreme Court clarified two points: coparcenary rights are acquired by daughters on their birth; and. fathers need not have been alive when the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act 1956 was passed.
How ancestral property is divided?
Under the Hindu law, property is divided into two types: ancestral and self-acquired. Ancestral property is defined as one that is inherited up to four generations of male lineage and should have remained undivided throughout this period. … By birth, a daughter has a share in the ancestral property.
Which property is Coparcenary?
A coparcenary consists of a 'propositus', that is, a person at the top of a line of descent, and his three lineal descendants — sons, grandsons and great-grandsons. Coparcenary property is named thus because the co-ownership is marked by "unity of possession, title and interest".
Can a father gives all his property to one child?
A father cannot freely give the ancestral property to one son. In Hindu law, the ancestral property can be gifted only under certain situations like distress or for pious reasons. Otherwise, the ancestral property cannot be given away to one child to the exclusion of all others.

Bad weather may have depressed turnout among Chicago voters in Illinois' primary elections for governor and the Senate seat once held by Obama. Historically, that's good news for Republicans.
M. Spencer Green / AP
Voters in a closely watched Illinois election primary Tuesday had to stomp through two inches of fresh snow, which may have contributed to a low voter turnout in Chicago – most likely between 30 and 35 percent by the end of the day, according to Chicago election officials.
Despite the predicted low turnout, the election is an important one. The primary for Illinois governor and one of its US senators is seen as a potential indicator of whether the voter revolt that came to a head in the Massachusetts Senate vote last month is likely to continue.
Election day weather can influence political results, according to a study titled "The Republicans Should Pray for Rain: Weather, Turnout, and Voting in U.S. Presidential Elections." The study, compiled by three universities, examined the voting patterns of 3,000 counties between 1948 and 2000.
Among the results: for every one inch of precipitation in each county, overall voter turnout dropped 1 percent. But bad weather is sunshine for Republicans: for every inch of precipitation in each county, there was a 2.5 percent increase in Republican voting.
Democrats are particularly hampered by inclement weather because one of their traditional voting blocs: seniors. "They vote large in numbers and very reliably. But if it's the case older people are less likely to brave the elements, that will have a disproportionate affect on Democrats," says Ivan Kenneally, a political scientist at Rochester Institute of Technology, who was not involved in the study.

Mortar Training Blended Learning Solution
CDS Defence Support was tasked to develop a blended learning solution for the Army Mortar Training School.
CDS was tasked to develop a Blended Learning Solution (BLS) for the Army Mortar Training School. The aim of the solution was to allow students in training to use mortars to practice and develop the skills associated with map reading, calculating bearings and judging distance based on the terrain's features.
Scanning the Landscape
The solution needed to be able to generate targets randomly at a variety of distances within a set training area. The students would then be required to manually scan the landscape to identify potential targets.
The students also needed to be able to use a service prismatic compass to acquire the target's direction.
After calculating the bearing, the students would have to accurately identify target locations on the map.
Making Corrections Based on a Missed Shot
The students would have to have the ability to make adjustments and re-engage the target an unlimited number of times.
Working closely with a number of SMEs, CDS interpreted the requirements and developed an application that delivered the required features whilst adding additional benefits at every stage.
Our BLS allows both the students and the instructors to have sight of the students' process of acquiring and engaging a target.
The students navigate round a geographically accurate virtual environment, based on a known training area, where a number of randomly generated targets appear at different distances. Once a target is identified, the student must use the skills learned in practical training to make the correct calculations and effectively engage the target.
Complex background algorithms accurately simulate, in real time, the characteristics of a mortar round's velocity, trajectory (fall of shot) and the time of flight. The student can then watch the round hit or miss the target and can make multiple corrections to re-adjust and re-engage until a Fire for Effect (FFE) order can be given.
This solution can also be integrated with Learning Management Systems.
Other optional features include:
- Encryption to allow for off-site use.
- Secure data link to record students' information including usage and strike rate.
- Auditable confirmation of training and competency.
A BLS has many advantages including:
- Students can be trained for multiple-operational scenarios and terrains prior to deployment.
- 24/7 access to training – no down-time due to adverse weather conditions or range day losses.
- Costs are reduced by negating the need for additional range time, ammunition and coaching/training staff.
- The application has cross-platform functionality and is able to run on Android, iOS and other similar operating systems.
- The Mortar Training can be digitally tailored to suit any combination of ammunition including illumination, smoke rounds and differing terrains.
In addition to the Mortar Training, CDS has also developed a 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun BLS. This unique tool presents the students with a geographically accurate virtual map, a protractor, a series of range tables and issue fire control data.
The students will identify and process the 8 figure grid reference number, the altitude above sea level, the bearing and distance and finally use this information to calculate the elevation adjustments required prior to engaging the target.

autosp - preprocessor to generate note-spacing commands for MusiXTeX scores
autosp [-v | --version | -h | --help]
autosp [-d | --dotted] [-l | --log] infile[.aspc] [outfile[.tex]]
This program makes it easier to create MusiXTeX scores by converting (non-standard) commands of the form \anotes... \en into one or more conventional note-spacing commands (\notes \Notes \NOtes...), determined by the actual note values, with \sk spacing commands inserted as necessary. The coding for an entire measure can be entered one part at a time, without concern for note-spacing changes within the part or spacing requirements of other parts.
For example, if applied to
 \anotes\qa J\qa K&\ca l\qa m\ca n\en
autosp generates
 \Notes\qa J\sk\qa K\sk&\ca l\qa m\sk\ca n\en
Typically, an \anotes command generates several conventional note-spacing commands.
If the infile argument does not have an.aspc extension, input is taken from infile.aspc if that file exists.
If the outfile argument does not have a.tex extension, output is sent to outfile.tex. If no outfile argument is provided, output will go to infile.tex (or to infile.ltx if a \documentclass declaration is encountered).
For \anotes commands, line breaks and spaces may precede note segments, allowing more flexible source formatting; the line breaks and spaces will be elided from the output.
For example,
is acceptable and generates
If the -l ( --log ) option is used, a very detailed log infile.alog is generated.
If the -d ( --dotted ) option is used, dotted beam notes of the form \qb{n}{.p} are not given extra space; it is assumed that the subsequent note will be shifted by a \roff-like command or a spacing command such as \qsk or \hqsk. Commands of the form \qlp{p}, \qlpp{p},..., \qpb{n}{p} and \qppb{n}{p} are always spaced as indicated.
If there is a single staff, consecutive whole-bar rest bars are merged into a multi-bar rest. Bar-centered rests can be coded using the standard \def\atnextbar notation but the non-standard command \Cpause in a note segment also generates a bar-centered rest.
Spacing commands \sk and \bsk in the source are discarded, but not "small" skips \hsk, \qsk, \tqsk, \hqsk or \qqsk, or the small "backward" skips \hbsk, \bqsk, \btsk, or \bhsk. Moreover, non-standard commands \QQsk, \HQsk \TQsk and \Qsk in the source generate "global" skips; i.e., the effect of \qqsk, \hqsk, \tqsk or \qsk, respectively, in every staff. These ensure that staffs remain synchronized if additional spacing is needed in any staff(s).
Global skips may also be obtained within collective-coding sequences by using up to four successive commas to get the effects of \QQsk, \HQsk, \TQsk or \Qsk, respectively. Global skips \tqsk (or, for double-flats, \qsk) are automatically inserted before accidentals ('^', '_', '=', '<', '>') on collective-coding notes (except when the preceding note is "virtual"; i.e., a skip). If this automatic additional spacing is not wanted in some context, it may be avoided by replacing the accidental in the collective-coding sequence by any of the explicit accidental commands: \sh, \fl, \na, \smallsh, \bigsh, etc. If the automatic spacing is insufficient, the spacing may be increased by adding sufficient commas or using a conventional notes command instead of \anotes.
A note segment can be completely empty, but if a note segment should start with or contain a "space," the note-value of that space must be made explicit with a command of the form \ha{*}, \qa{.*}, \qa{*}, \ca{*}, etc.
From version 2017-06-14, the effects of \TransformNotes calls are implemented by the autosp pre-processor. This enables use of musixlyr in autosp scores; musixlyr.tex is incompatible with the musixtnt.tex implementation of \TransformNotes.
All other conventional MusiXTeX commands are output exactly as given in the input.
autosp determines the spacing for ordinary notes from the note commands themselves; for example,
\qa, \qu, \ql, \qp result in \NOtes;
\ca, \cu, \cl, \ds result in \Notes;
and so on.
The spacing for beamed notes is determined by the beam multiplicity, so that \ib... results in \Notes, \ibb... results in \notes, etc.
Collective coding of note sequences (including accidentals and dots) is handled by expanding the sequence into a sequence of individual note commands.
autosp scales notes by the relevant instrument-size value.
autosp assumes that & and | (rather than \nextinstrument and \nextstaff) are used to separate instruments and staffs.
Appoggiaturas and grace notes are recognized by the use of \tinynotesize; note-spacing of 1.45\elemskip is used. If this isn't suitable and can't be corrected with a small skip, a \vnotes command with any desired spacing can be used.
autosp supports x-tuplets introduced using \xtuplet{x} or \xxtuplet{x:y} and triplets introduced using any of the following commands (regardless of any re-definition of \txt or \tuplettxt):
autosp assumes that an x-tuplet is to be played in (x-1)/x of the apparent x-tuplet duration. So, for example, a triplet in eighths is assumed to be played in the time of one quarter note. If this assumption isn't valid, the x-tuplet must be coded explicitly using a suitable \vnotes command; see the first measure of barsant2.aspc for an example of a non-standard x-tuplet: a 5-tuple of 64th notes with an intended duration of six 64ths.
In some polyrhythmic scores, the \txt numeral may be displaced, even if the notes themselves are correctly spaced. In these cases, it is possible to suppress the normal output of \txt by using the non-standard commands \Triolet (no arguments) or \Xtuplet{k}\ and placing a numeral at the correct location using \zcn (i.e., \zcharnote).
autosp can deal with simultaneous x-tuplets in multiple staffs provided the x values and total note durations are identical.
In some baroque scores, particularly by J.S. Bach, a beamed sixteenth note is vertically aligned with the third note of a triplet of eighth notes in another staff (implying that they should be sounded simultaneously); e.g.,
would be played as if notated
 \uptrio{b}10\ql L\hroff{\cl L}
The following coding will align the beamed sixteenth note with the third note of a triplet in another staff:
and, similarly, for triplets of sixteenth notes:
Generally, user-defined macros are not processed or expanded; however, definitions of the form
 \def\atnextbar{\znotes... \en}
generate definitions that do take account of \TransformNotes.
All staffs are assumed to have the same meter; see kinder2.aspc for an example of how to work around this.
autosp may not be effective for music with more than one voice in a single staff. It might be advisable to use a separate staff for each voice, to avoid \anotes when necessary, or to omit certain voices initially and add them into the resulting TeX file.
See files quod2.aspc, kinder2.aspc, geminiani.aspc and barsant2.aspc for scores suitable for input to autosp. The program tex2aspc can be used to convert "legacy" MusiXTeX scores to.aspc format.

Freshcaller allows you to transfer calls to another agent, team, or contact available within your account. Additionally, you can transfer calls to an external number
Call transfers are useful when you think that another team member has better expertise to resolve a customer's query, or sometimes, customers may want to talk to a specific agent. This helps deliver faster resolutions to the customer without making them go around in circles or hold the line for too long.
User Requirements
Agents, supervisors, admins, and account admins can transfer calls.
Types of Call Transfers
You can initiate two types of call transfers:
 - Warm Transfer
 A warm transfer allows you to have a brief conversation with another agent or a contact in your team before transferring the call to the customer. You can provide all the necessary details about the customer's query to another agent so that the customer does not have to repeat their question.
 - Cold Transfer
 Unlike a warm transfer, this option directly transfers the call to the second agent you selected. The second agent can choose to accept or reject the call.
When you initiate a warm or cold transfer, the customer will be put on hold until the other agent accepts the call.
To initiate a warm/cold transfer:
 1. During a live call, click on the phone icon to see the active (online) agents or contacts. You can use the search bar at the top to search for the names.
 When you enter a letter or a number, the search results display all the agents, teams, or contact names having the letter or number you entered. To see the team's active agents, click on the arrow next to the team/group name. The number next to the team name indicates the number of active/online agents in that team.
 Note: The contact names you see are the names you added/imported to your account.
 2. Warm Transfer
 To initiate a warm transfer, select the agent, team/group, or a contact name and click on the forward icon.
 Note that you can initiate a warm transfer only to individual agents within a team/group. For this reason, the warm transfer icon will not be visible next to the team name.
 3. Cold Transfer
 To initiate a cold transfer, select the agent, team/group, or a contact name and click on the phone icon.
 You can also select an entire team to initiate a cold transfer. In this case, all online agents in that particular team will receive the call, and anyone can choose to answer the call.
 For example, if you want to transfer the call to any agent in the US team, select the US team and click on the cold transfer icon.
 4. Once you initiate a warm or cold transfer, you will see the following screen.
 5. After the other agent answers the call, the customer on hold will be connected to the second agent, who is now the primary agent.
 If you initiate a warm transfer, you can disconnect the call after giving the necessary details. However, you will be disconnected immediately once the second agent answers the call in case of a cold transfer.
 The second agent will see the following notification when a call is transferred from the first agent.
 Dialpad in Warm Transfer:
 When you initiate a warm transfer, you can also use the dialpad to transfer the call to agent 2. The dialpad can be useful if the agent 2 has an IVR set up and wants to use the dialpad to enter the IVR option.
 Transferring Calls to External Number:
 To place a warn or cold transfer to an external number, enter the phone number in the search box, and choose between cold or warm transfer.
Tip: Transferring Calls with Call Notes
It is always recomended to add call notes before you transfer the call to another agent. The call notes help the other agent in understanding the customer's query better. Also, it eliminates the need for the customer to repeat the entire problem again.
 1. When you transfer calls, call notes are automatically transferred from Agent 1 to Agent 2.
 2. If Agent 2 is not available, Agent 1 will be able to resume the call.
Call recordings during Warm Transfers:
 1. If the Freshcaller number has " Record all calls," "Record incoming calls," or "Record outgoing calls" options enabled, then the conversation between Agent 1 and the customer is saved as recording 1. The conversation between Agent 2 and the customer is saved as recording 2. Recording 2 starts when Agent 2 resumes the call from agent 1.
 2. If the setting is "Record calls manually," and Agent 1 had not started recording, then the recording will start only when the Agent 2 manually activates the recording feature.
 3. The conversation between the agents when the customer is on hold is not recorded.
 4. If the customer disconnects the call while the two agents are in conversation, Agent 2 (once connected) will hear an information message that the customer has disconnected. The call will then be terminated.

Koala teeth provide insights into dietby Heidi Hall Aug. 22, 2018, 1:00 PM
Paleontologist Larisa DeSantis studies the teeth of ancient and modern mammals to determine how their diets changed across the millennia and, by extension, their responses to climate change.
But the question lingered: Is wear on teeth an indicator of what kangaroos and koalas ate or just how much gritty dust and dirt they consumed?
The Vanderbilt University professor's latest research, published today in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE, confirms the shape of tooth wear best indicates what they were eating, not what was on it.
"We can investigate the teeth in modern animals, begin to understand exactly what they're recording and then take that information – a kind of Rosetta Stone – back into the fossil records and interpret the behavior of fossil animals," said DeSantis, assistant professor of earth and environmental science. "While we eventually aim to look at how diets have changed over long periods of climate change, this study focused on whether these teeth were recording diet or aridity."
DeSantis targeted Australian marsupials for her dental mesowear work because that continent has been drying out over millions of years, making it a rich environment to study how changing climate prompts animal evolution.
For this particular study, she and a team of Vanderbilt graduate and undergraduate students analyzed casts and photographs of teeth from koalas and kangaroos that died over the past few decades to compare with modern climate and dietary data.
The journal article is titled Effects of climate on dental mesowear of koalas and two broadly distributed kangaroos throughout their geographic range, and the research was funded by an NSF CAREER grant.

How to Make Salted Duck or Chicken Eggs
Eggs submerged in salt water
Eggs submerged in salt water
In The Beginning
The existence of salted eggs dates to many centuries ago in Asian countries like China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand. Salted eggs were probably a daily food among farmers and villagers where other foods were scarce and the people were poor. The only food they had to survive on in those days came from their own crops and farm animals. Preserved and salted foods were also common as they could be stored for a long time without refrigerators, which they didn't have back then.
Salted Duck Eggs
Duck eggs are often used in the making of salted eggs. The traditional way of making salted eggs is by covering the eggs in a salty mud paste and letting the eggs cure for many months. This method is still being used today. Other modern methods are also being used, and it could be one of the reasons why there are more and more inferior-quality salted eggs being sold out there.
The Chinese make salted duck eggs by coating them with a thick paste made from charcoal, salt, water and then wrapping each egg in a plastic bag. The Filipinos use a mixture of clay, salt, and water to coat the duck eggs. The duck eggs are then cured for a few weeks before they are ready to be sold in the markets.
Good Eggs or Bad Eggs
It is easy to tell if a cooked salted egg is of good quality or inferior type. A good salted egg has a bright yellow yolk in the middle that is oozing with thick yellow liquid. A poor quality salted egg lacks the yellow colour in its yolk, sometimes it's not even pale yellow and is often too salty to be eaten.
Where to Buy Salted Eggs
You can find salted duck eggs in most Asian grocery stores. Some of the eggs have been dyed with red or pink colour so as not to get them mixed up with the normal fresh eggs. Some eggs are wrapped individually in plastic bags and are still coated with the black charcoal paste. Half a dozen salted eggs usually cost around $6 from the grocery store.
Why Not Make Your Own
You can also make your own at home with chicken, duck, emu, or quail eggs. Duck eggs are still the best for making this particular dish. There is a particular taste in duck eggs that seems to bring out the aroma, texture, and taste of an authentic salted egg. So, go for duck if you can find them!

How to Make Salted Eggs
You will need the following ingredients/items:
 - 12 eggs
 - 500 grams cooking salt
 - 4 cups water
 - Large glass container with a lid
 1. Pour the cooking salt and water into a pot and boil.
 2. Stir until all the salt has melted and keep boiling until you see lots of salt crystals start to form on the side of the pot. This means the salt water has reached a saturation point and the salt has started to crystallise.
 3. Remove pot from heat and let the salt water cool to room temperature.
 4. Put the eggs in the glass container.
 5. Slowly pour in the salt water and salt crystals until all the eggs are submerged in the water.
 6. Cover the container with the lid and leave it in a cool dark place.

Waiting Time...
It takes approximately 4 weeks for the eggs to turn salty. If you prefer less salty eggs, you can take out one egg to test for saltiness after three weeks. Boil the salted egg in water for 10 minutes until it is hard-boiled. Let it cool and then remove the shell.
Tasting Time
Taste and see if it is salty enough for your liking. If not, leave the eggs in the container for another week or two, depending on how salty you want them to be.
When you are satisfied with the saltiness of the eggs, remove them from the salt water and store the eggs in the refrigerator until they are needed for cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Salted eggs can be served as a small side dish with rice or noodles. They can also be used as a filling for Chinese mooncakes.

Questions & Answers
Question: Can I reuse the salt and water to make another batch of salted eggs?
Answer: You will need to reboil the salt and water if you want to reuse the solution.
Question: Why is salted chicken egg not commercialized like salted duck egg? What is the difference between a salted chicken egg and salted duck egg?
Answer: From my own understanding, the duck egg has a thicker shell that allows it to store better for a long time. Also, duck eggs have a distinct flavor that some people do not like - preserving the duck eggs in salt tends to get rid of that flavor. Duck eggs have bigger yolks, salted egg yolks are becoming very popular in a lot of Asian recipes!
Question: Why should we use a glass container for salted egg stock? What about a plastic Tupperware?
Answer: Personally I like to use glass containers for storing food. You may use Tupperware containers if you prefer them.
Question: After curing salted eggs for 4 weeks, do I need to boil them first before eating or I can just peel them and eat it without cooking?
Answer: The salted eggs need to be cooked before consuming. You can boil them like hard-boiled eggs, or you can break the shell and put them in a bowl and steam until they are cooked. The salted eggs can also be mixed with meat or vegetables for cooking.
Question: How does the egg become salty when cooking?
Answer: Eggshells are porous and salt water can go through the eggshells by a process called osmosis.
Question: Why do the eggs float when put in a container with salt water?
Answer: Salt water has a higher density that causes the eggs to float.
Question: Can the eggs be boiled first before putting them in the jar of salty and water?
Answer: If the eggs are cooked first, they will become hard-boiled eggs. In the solid form, they will take very long to become salted eggs.
Question: Is it true that it is less hygienic to use a mud/soil in making salted eggs?
Answer: I am sure the mud/soil used for salted eggs production commercially has some sort of quality control.
Question: What if an egg is cracked before you put in the glass to make salted eggs?
Answer: If the egg is cracked, do not put it in the container.
Question: Can I directly boil duck eggs with the salt solution?
Answer: If you boil the duck eggs in the salt solution, the process will only cook the eggs but not make them salty.
Question: How long do salted eggs keep for, and how do I store them properly after I finish salting them?
Answer: The salted eggs can be kept in the fridge for several weeks.
Question: I've just recently made a batch of salted chicken eggs for the first time, it was brined for 16 days. The eggs were cooked all they like hard-boiled. Is it normal for the yolk part to be green in color? It sure tasted good though.
Answer: The color of the yolk has something to do with the quality of the egg. Good quality eggs have a bright orange color while poorer quality egg yolks are sometimes pale yellow. I haven't seen green color in the yolks but if the eggs were fresh enough when you bought them, it should not be a problem.
Question: How to color duck eggs?
Answer: Food dye can be used if you want to color the duck eggs.
Question: Is it okay if I don't boil the water and salt when making salted eggs?
Answer: Boiling the water helps to dissolve the salt and attain the saturation point.
Question: How do you preserve a salted egg?
Answer: You can keep the salted eggs in the fridge for a few weeks.
Question: I just bought my first salted eggs and I am not sure what to do with them first. Do I need to wash them or cook them before consuming them?
Answer: If you have bought ready made salted eggs from the store, just give them a wash before you cook them.
Question: Can the curing time be shorter for salted eggs?
Answer: If the curing time is less than 3 weeks, the eggs will not be salty enough and will not store well.
Question: Is there a way to remove the salt content from imported preserved chicken eggs?
Answer: I would suggest soaking the uncooked eggs in water for one to two weeks and changing the water every other day.
Question: Can we make a spicy salted egg?
Answer: You can make the salted egg spicy when it is ready to serve.
Question: Do I have to wait 4 weeks to complete the salted duck egg?
Answer: Yes, it takes time to make salted egg.
Question: Can I use slightly cracked eggs like very small crack on the shells to make salted duck eggs?
Answer: I would prefer not to use eggs with visible cracks.
Question: Does a salted

The Red Hills, also known as the Gyp or Gypsum Hills, are located mostly in Clark, Comanche, and Barber counties in southern and central Kansas. These hills gather their name from the red tint they have. The red color comes from oxidated iron within the soil. The area is also known for its large gypsum deposits. Rainfall amounts are low in this region, so there are few trees and the air is dry.
The flat top hills in the area are more reminiscent of the mesas and buttes in Arizona and New Mexico. The elevation here disputes Kansas' reputation as "flat." Mount Nebo is 2,441 feet (744 meters), Mount Jesus is 2,340 feet (710 meters), and Mount Lookout is 2,320 feet (710 meters).

How Many Languages Can Prince William Speak?
Learning a foreign language is part of the royal family's protocol. However, some of the queen's family members are more fluent than others. Not to mention: A few of them know up to five languages. How many languages can Prince William speak? Find out, plus the one language he must know before becoming the British heir, ahead.
How many languages can Prince William speak?
Prince William

The future king is quite the linguist. Apparently, Prince William can speak five languages, including English. Take a closer look at his linguistic proficiency, below.
French is one language many members of the royal family, including Prince William, have mastered. According to reports, the future heir to the British throne can speak French with ease.
Africa holds a lot of memories for Prince William. So, it comes of no surprise that the Duke of Cambridge can speak a little Swahili. The language can be heard throughout several African countries, including Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania.
As the future Prince of Wales, Prince William must learn enough Welsh to converse with those fluent in the language. It's unclear how fluent he is in Welsh, but the Duke of Cambridge can speak the language.
In preparation for becoming Prince of Wales, Prince Charles also learned Welsh as a young boy. While he's not fluent, he allegedly knows enough to get by.
In addition to Welsh, Prince William also knows a little Gaelic. His Royal Highness likely speaks the language — or phrases — while visiting parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. Prince Charles can also speak Gaelic.
What languages do other members of the royal family speak?
Prince William isn't the only one with impressive linguistic skills. In addition to the Duke of Cambridge, several members of the royal family can speak foreign languages and are even fluent in some. Here are all the languages spoken by the British royal family.
Prince William knows French, but he's not the only one. His great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth is fluent in the language and learned as a young girl (her tutor and governess, Marion Crawford likely taught her). Like his wife, Prince Philip can also speak French — and so can their children. Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne all speak French.
Apparently, Meghan Markle also knows a little French, but her fluency is unclear.
German isn't the most popular foreign language in the royal family, but Prince Philip is fluent in it. According to reports, the Duke of Edinburgh grew up speaking the language, as it was one of the languages spoken by his family members.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte are currently learning the second most spoken language in the world, Spanish in school. In addition, their Spanish-speaking nanny, Maria Turrion Borrallo helps tutor them.
One member of the royal family knows a little Tagalog, aka the language of the Philippines. While visiting Edinburgh with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was overheard saying "Salamat Po," which means "thank you" in the foreign language. It's likely that the Duchess of Sussex might only know a few words and phrases in Tagalog.
Some royals even speak Russian. Prince Michael of Kent and his wife, Princess Michael both know the foreign language.

Fisheries managers need to understand herring stock genetics in order to set management objectives that aid herring recovery in PWS. The purpose of this study is to use the genetic makeup of herring populations to determine if one or multiple stocks exist in Prince William Sound. For example, are the fish that spawn on Montague different than those that spawn in Port Gravina or are they different portions of one large population.
Researchers from NOAA are coordinating with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) and other researchers to collect herring samples from different spawning locations in and around Prince William Sound. Genetic markers (genes or DNA-sequences that identify the relatedness of individuals) will be used to identify the genetic identity of each herring sample, which will then be evaluated to determine how related the various spawning populations are.
Evaluation of stock genetics will allow researchers to determine if sub-populations exist in Prince William Sound. This valuable herring life history information will be used to determine if the models need to treat the spawning locations as independent or a single model for Prince William Sound herring can be used.

The dart flight is one of the most essential parts of the dart. The flight helps to keep the dart stabilized, allowing it to keep a consistent flight path. It works by cutting through and dividing the airflow, reducing drag.
With such importance put on the dart flight, you'll want to ensure that your flights are kept in perfect condition. In which case, we'd recommend something called a dart flight protector.
We've highlighted some of the main features of dart flight protectors, below.
Why use a Dart Flight Protector?
The most pivotal role played by flight protectors is to keep your flights in their original shape. Although there isn't a perfect flight shape that is suitable for all types of darts, you must keep your flights free from becoming bent or damaged to maintain optimum performance.
This is the where your dart flight protectors come in. By using a perfect flight protector, you can maintain that the flight holds it's desired shape.
How to Use a Flight Protector
When fitting your flight protectors, it is essential to follow a set of standards, these include:
- Make sure to maintain the same flight shape with all 3 of your darts
- Avoid changing the flight shape frequently
- Try to spread the dart flight yourself before using a flight protector
Keeping the flights in the uniform 'X' shape guarantees the perfect flight of your dart. However, there are numerous shapes of flights, such as: Kite, Pear, and Electro. Flight protectors are easy to use. You just need to clip it around the flight.
Benefits of Using Flight Protectors
Using a flight protector can be beneficial in many ways. Firstly, it helps your flight to maintain a good shape, even after prolonged use. As a result, the dart will continue to fly with an aerodynamic shape, minimizing the chances of drag and air resistance.
Furthermore, using a flight protector will also reduce the unwanted movement of the dart, once it's airborne. Enhancing your chances of hitting the desired target.
Below are some other benefits of using flight protectors:
- Flight protectors prevent the flight from any damage
- Keeps the flight wings in their original shape
- Sticks to the dart flight securely
- Very cheap
No doubt, dart flights offer a wide range of advantages. Plus, they're cheap and really easy to install. Therefore, you'd be stupid not to purchase them to protect your own set of darts. Here's a cheap set we found on Amazon.

Dry sponges placed in flowing water (as opposed to water source blocks) have no effect on the water and remain dry.
- Place a water source block on a flat area and allow it to spread
- Place a dry sponge block in the flowing water at least one block away from the water source
The water surrounding the sponge is removed for several blocks, including the water source so that all the water disappears. The sponge becomes wet.
No effect on the water at all. The sponge remains dry.
Edit (and facepalm): If the sponge is placed in the source block, the effect should spread to the flowing water but does not. Flowing water is just not affected at all by the sponge.

Following the comments to this answer to another question, what is the difference between size and magnitude?
I know there's a difference, but can someone put it in a nutshell for me?
share|improve this question
What is it that you find confusing after reading the definitions? – KitFox Aug 26 '11 at 11:28
I can't state it out in a logical way. I can't state their difference. Like what Matt Ellen said, he disagreed with what I said – Thursagen Aug 26 '11 at 11:30
I'm not sure the comments to the answer you're referencing use size and magnitude correctly, although they certainly serve to convey the intended meaning. – Peter Shor Aug 26 '11 at 13:08
I don't think this one will fit in a nutshell. Anything you say about either definition can be contradicted by a counterexample or a counter-definition from a particular discipline (astronomy, mathematics, etc.) – JeffSahol Aug 26 '11 at 13:14
In science, magnitude also means the amount (or absolute value) of something without considering the direction. So a force of 10 N at an angle of 30° has a magnitude of 10 N. – mgb Aug 26 '11 at 16:53

Usually, size connotes physical dimensions while magnitude connotes either a numerical measure (particularly a non-linear one) of any sort of amount or metaphorical size.
"What size is that screw?" (Physical dimensions)
"A problem of immense magnitude" (Metaphorical size)
You can also use size to mean metaphorical size, but you usually can't use magnitude alone to mean physical size. (Nobody would say "What's your sneaker magnitude?")
share|improve this answer
+1: I think the suggestion that size is primarily used for physical dimensions while magnitude is more generally applicable sounds right. – AAT Aug 26 '11 at 22:35
I'm certainly going to be asking people for their "sneaker magnitude" after reading this. – gcbenison Apr 28 '12 at 3:33
The difference/usage exists mainly in natural sciences (physics)
 - size: has nearly always a linear scale, if the size gets bigger, it also means higher positive absolute values of the according physical quantitiy (temperature, volume,...)
 - magnitude: has more the meaning "order of magnitude" and is often used esp. for logarithmic scales when linear scales are too unhandy and typical order of magnitudes like milli, nano,... fail for practical use (e.g. magnitude of earthquakes, apparent magnitude in astronomy (here the unity is mag but a more negative mag value means a brighter astronomical object! so its counter intuitive to typical physical quantities.)).
share|improve this answer
"Magnitude" connotes the quality of being big, whereas "size" is merely a measure of how big something is.
share|improve this answer
Sounds very explanatory for me. – MoonLight Aug 27 '11 at 23:38
In mathematics, magnitude, together with direction, describes a vector. For instance, an object is said to have a velocity if it travels in a particular direction (say, "Northeast") at a particular rate (say, "30 knots"). The magnitude of velocity is speed, which does not imply a direction. Only values with a direction are said to have magnitude in this way; scalar values, such as an object's mass, or physical dimension (size) is never described in this way. Of course, there are many other ways that the word'magnitude' is used
share|improve this answer
Both have technical meanings - e.g. size in fashion, magnitude in cosmology. However, in general usage the difference is really a matter of register.

Data input (tutorial)
From visone user support
Normally, visone reads network data from GraphML files, which should never cause any problems. However, in some cases it is necessary to import data stemming from other sources that can, for instance, export adjacency matrices to comma-separated-value (CSV) tables. This tutorial guides you through the various possibilities to input data into visone.
The usual way: read GraphML
GraphML is the usual file format for visone; it encodes the three types of information that are contained in visone networks: network structure, attributes, and graphical information and it is the only format that does so. To read network data from GraphML files use the file menu, click on open..., select files of type.graphml, and click on the ok button.
The other file types are only needed when you want to import data from other sources that cannot output GraphML.
An overview about the other possibilities
Apart from GraphML, visone can read network data from files that are exported by other network analysis software, including UCINET, Pajek, Siena, and some more. Opening these files is also done via the file menu by selecting the appropriate file type. More information about reading these file types is provided in the section about other supported formats.
A more basic option that should be feasible in most situations is to read network data from comma-separated-value (CSV) files. CSV files are plain-text files, for example looking like this
;A;B;C;D A;0;1;1;1 B;1;0;1;0 C;1;1;0;0 D;1;0;0;0
that can be created by spread sheet editors (such as MS Excel), statistical software, most network analysis software, and many more. However, reading data from CSV files is more error-prone since these files do not come with an unequivocal definition about how to interpret them (rather you have to tell the program how these files should be interpreted). Most of this tutorial is dedicated to the import of CSV files.
If nothing else works, you can make use of the visone R console that allows access to the R environment for statistical computing or you can read data via the KNIME connection that connects visone to a comprehensive data mining workflow tool. Both environments, R and KNIME, provide very general and configurable methods for data input and, in addition, enable you to preprocess and/or filter the data with relatively low effort. We provide more information about these possibilities in the section "if nothing else works".
Yet another possibility to create networks directly in visone is to enter them manually (which is only appropriate if the neworks are small and the data is not yet available in electronic format). This option is illustrated in the tutorial introducing the visual network editor.
The variants of comma-separated-value (CSV) files
A comma-separated-value file can be thought of as a plain-text file that encodes a table, i.e., a data array that has rows and columns - sometimes also referred to as a matrix. In a network context, there are different possibilities to encode information about nodes, links, or attribute information in such tables. The first three (adjacency matrices, link lists, and adjacency lists) provide information about nodes and links and can be opend via the file menu and the import options dialog. The fourth table displays an attribute table, that provides information about node or link attributes. Those data files will be imported via the attribute manager. What follows is a short characterization of these file types. A more exhaustive explanation about how to import those data tables in visone is given in the following sections.
Adjacency matrix files. An adjacency matrix encodes for all pairs of nodes (indexing the rows and columns of the table) whether or not there is a link connecting these nodes. An example is shown in the following.
;A;B;C;D A;0;1;1;1 B;0;0;1;0 C;1;1;0;0 D;1;0;0;0
The first row and the first column are the labels of the nodes; the remaining part encodes whether there is a link from the node indexing the row to the node indexing the column. For instance, the character 1 in the row indexed by A and the column indexed by B indicates that there is a link going from A to B; the 0 in the row B and column A indicates that there is no link in the reverse direction.
Link list files. A link list contains as many rows as there are links in the network and (in its most basic form) a link list contains two columns where the entry in the first column is the identifier for the source node and the entry in the second column denotes the target node of the link. The following example
A;C C;B B;A A;D
defines four links: from node A to node C, from C to B, etc. Note that link lists use less space than adjacency matrices - especially if the network is very sparse (i.e., when the number of links divided by the number of node pairs is a small value close to zero).
Adjacency list files. An adjacency list has as many rows as there are nodes in the network. Each row may have a different length and the row associated with a node lists all neighbors of this node. For instance, in the following example
1;2;4;5 2;1;5 3;5 4;1 5;1;2;4
the adjacency list defines for node 1 three (outgoing) links: to node 2, node 4 and node 5. Node 2 has links to node 1 and node 5, etc.
Attribute tables. An attribute table has one row that lists the attribute names (in the example below this is id;age;smokes followed by as many rows as there are nodes in the network.
id;age;smokes A;23;false B;28;true C;19;true D;27;false
One of the columns (id in the example above) lists the unique node identifiers (it is not necessarily the first row and not necessarily labeled id). The other columns list the attribute values of the attribute whose name is given in the respective column header.
Note: visone does not allow to simultaneously input an adjacency matrix together with given attributes in one file. That is, a file like
;A;B;C;D;age;smokes A;0;1;1;1;23;false B;1;0;1;0;28;true C;1;1;0;0;19;true D;1;0;0;0;27;false
(having the interpretation that the first four columns specify an adjacency matrix and the last two columns define node attribute values) cannot be opened. Rather you have to split this into two separate files, one containing the adjacency matrix which can be opened via the file menu and the other containing the attribute table which can be opened via the attribute manager. (For instance, in MS Excel you could split the file by selecting columns, copy them, and past them into a new table.)
To create a network from one of the above mentioned data formats (adjacency matrix, link list, adjacency list) use the file menu, click on open..., select files of type CSV files (.txt,.csv) in the file chooser, navigate to the file you want to open, and click on the ok button. Then the import options dialog opens, where you select the appropriate data format in the topmost drop-down menu. Depending of the data format, the import options dialog shows you the various settings to be made, to interpret the data correctly. The image below shows the import options dialog, when selecting adjacency matrix as data format. The visualization and analysis tutorial explains the import of data from an adjacency matrix in detail, using an exemplary dataset. A description of importing all (other) data formats is given on the import options dialog page. Note that the import options dialog is designed to import information about nodes and links, not about attributes. The only exception is the import of node lists, where a network of isolated nodes and their attributes will be created.
To open an attribute table and add attribute values to the nodes or links of a network that is already opened in visone, use the attribute manager which can be started by clicking on the icon in visone's toolbar.
In the attribute manager, choose the node or link button in the top row, import & export on the left, operation import in the drop-down menu, and select the CSV file that contains the attributes you want to import.
Choosing a file opens a load options dialog (exemplary shown below), where it is very important to correctly set the values of the joining attributes in the topmost drop-down menus. The network attribute must point to the name of the attribute that identifies the nodes (or links) in the already opened network. The file attribute tells visone which column in the imported CSV file holds these identifiers. The file format options specifies the format of the selected file. In the visualization and analysis tutorial an exemplary illustration of the import of link attributes is given.
Other supported formats
If nothing else works: use the R console or KNIME connection
visone offers the R console with which network data can be sent from visone to R and back. This ability to load data from R - together with R's data input and data processing capabilities - opens nearly unlimited possibilities to import data from yet other sources, as well as to import data that has to be cleaned, filtered, or preprocessed before turning it into a network.

Secrets of the Wood Comb
Discover the healing power of using wood combs for massage and more

Taiwanese craftsman Xianyi Chan makes his seemingly simple wood combs using traditional techniques. But there's more than meets the eye with this elegant instrument of personal care. They are sold today under the brand M Comb, and the inspiration for their design and use goes back centuries.
Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo combed his hair one hundred times each night before bed.
Flying bugs dance to greet the moon,
I let my hair down in front of moon-lit windows.
A thousand combs quickly wake up the skin and stimulate the bones,
Energy nourishes the roots like dewdrops.
Su Dongpo romanticized the ritual of the comb in ancient Chinese life. A modern person might wonder why. Was it because he didn't have a television to watch? Or was there something about the ritual that today's people don't know?
Meet the M Comb, a wooden masterpiece
Xianyi Chan has loved wood from a young age. He and his brother used to make wood hair clips and hairpins for money. One day, a customer said, "Before putting on hairpins and hair clips, we have to comb our hair. Why don't you make us some combs?" The brothers thought it was a great idea, so they added wood combs to their product line.
About ten years ago, Chan got a terrible toothache. He saw a dentist who sent him to a neurologist, who discovered a tumor in his ear. Even though it was benign, it was big enough to affect his trigeminal nerve, and Chan needed a surgery that had only a 50 percent chance of survival. After a 15-hour operation, Chan made it through, but his facial nerves had been damaged. He lost motor function completely in half of his face. He even had to tape his eye shut in order to sleep.

As part of his physical therapy, Chan received massages. The woman only used her hands, but it triggered a memory. He recalled a teacher by the name of Mula.
"Mula told me of the wood comb's many functions. Many of my customers who bought my combs took lessons with Mula. She taught them how to use the wood combs for massage."
The benefits of wood comb massages
After learning Mula's wood comb massage technique, Chan taught it to his masseuse. From that point on, Chan would bring his own comb to the salon when he got his daily 30-minute massage. Four months later, he was brushing his teeth when he noticed his mouth twitch. At first, he thought his mind was playing tricks, but he wiped the mirror and looked again. "I saw my face really twitched. I was so happy. I felt like I had just won the lottery."
After six months of wood comb massages, Chan regained 100 percent of his facial functions. His doctors were amazed.
People say "wood comb massage," but that's actually a misnomer, he says. The goal of massage is generally for blood circulation and muscle relaxation, whereas wood combing focuses on adjusting the body's qi or energy. The theory makes sense from both a traditional Chinese perspective as well as modern medicine, which has come to embrace the old ways more and more.
"It's not only our nose and mouth that breathe. All of our sweat pores breathe. When people have a cold, they feel miserable because they lack energy. The same is true when your sweat pores are congested, especially the sweat pores on your head, which are the greatest in number."
Chan says that people sometimes feel energized after combing their head because the qi congested under the skin gets expelled through the sweat pores. Once the qi is smoothed out, a person experiences a renewed sense of wellness.
Wood combs can also be used to massage other parts of the body. Chan combs his entire body every day. Qi can become murky and hover around, causing inflammation. A wood comb can expel that murky qi while stimulating fresh qi.
"The best part is that, unlike with medication, this method has no side effects. Wood combs are completely natural. It combs your energy and makes it flow so as to relieve pain and other symptoms."
Even knowing that Chan is a true lover of wood combs and a gifted artisan of many years, it's still surprising to discover that his process for bringing a comb into the world takes more than a hundred steps.
"Anything handmade has a heart. When there's a heart, there is feeling, and it has power."
Handmade quality
Chan's wood combs are always handmade. The wood is selected according to weight, colour, and aroma. Wood type is also important. One of Chan's most popular choices is the black and purple sandalwood.
The first step is to cut the wood into blocks. Chan will wait months, sometimes years, for the blocks to air dry. Once completely dry, the wood retains its shape and resists warping. Only then can it be used for production. Many manufacturers use heat to speed up the drying process. Chan believes this method alters the fibre, drains the resin, and altogether damages the wood.
After drying, patterns are drawn onto the blocks, and a thread saw is used to cut out the comb. A person then manually sands the comb until each tooth is cone-shaped with a pointy tip and thick base. This design ensures optimum energy flow. Chan got the idea from the shape of a boat. The comb moves energy like a boat moves water.
"Machine-made teeth are straight and easy to make," he says. "Mine are cone shaped, and the process involved is much more complicated. Only handmade teeth feel smooth on the body."
wood combs being made for the M Comb collection
Every M Comb is crafted by hand from a single piece of wood, creating an elegant form and natural strength.
Wood combs made with love
Chan requires his artisans to leave their problems at home and maintain a positive mindset while making his combs. He believes that the emotions of the craftsman live in the craft. "Anything handmade has a heart. When there's a heart, there is feeling, and it has power."
Chan's process is one of intimacy. He says he notices nuances that others don't. "It's just like dating someone you love. You want to know everything about her, her family, her everything. That's why I say I've been in love with my combs all my life."
Chan believes virtue is the most important thing in a person's life. Without it, one doesn't have blessings or fortune. A tree also has virtue. Its virtue starts from being a seed. It falls into soil, grows downward to find its base in the earth, and wraps around the earth with its roots. It then grows upward, taking in light and giving out pure oxygen that refreshes us all. It blooms into flowers, bears fruit, and becomes a tall tree that protects and provides.
wood combs in the M Comb collection
The wood blocks used to create the M comb are air-dried without heat to preserve the natural fibres, resins, and energy of the wood. Xianyi Chan instructs his artisans to leave their problems behind when creating the combs, so only positive energy goes into every product. Photography by Tiana Wang
"A tree doesn't take much from this world but offers a great deal. It's very quiet but always devoted. Even after it dies, we still use its body. I hope when people use their wood combs, they feel the virtue in the wood and are grateful."
Here's what Chan suggests: Every morning and every night, spend three to five minutes combing your hair. Start from the top of the head and comb downward in all directions. You'll smooth out the congested qi and let out the negative energy. Relax and enjoy the therapeutic process.
"In the old days, combing hair was a daily routine, a very natural thing to do," he says. "Modern people don't pay attention to it and have lost it. It actually has a great impact on our health. People say you can assess a person's success from his daily routines. This success might not be monetary. If you routinely smoke, then your lungs will not be successful. If you routinely comb your hair, your health will be very successful."
The M comb will be launched at in Jan 2021.

The closing of a central Nebraska irrigation canal should help boost the flow of water in the Platte River and improve habitat for endangered species.
The Central Platte Natural Resources District said Wednesday it is nearly done with a plan to buy water rights for the Six Mile Canal near Gothenburg. The canal is being filled in with dirt and retired after 116 years of use.
The project is expected to return an average of 2,377 acre-feet of water to the Platte River annually. An acre foot is the volume of water needed to cover an acre of land to a depth of 1 foot.
More than 30 land owners agreed to sell their rights to water from the canal and convert their farming operations over to groundwater irrigation.

Clicking on the Visibility tab allows you to configure the lots view able per bidder. For example, un-checking the box for 'Visibility' next to a lot means that the selected bidder won't be able to see that lot.
There are two ways to configure the data:
- Online - Click on the 'edit' button next to your chosen bidder and modify the visibility for each lot.
- Offline - download an Excel version of this screen by clicking 'Download'. Make your changes in Excel, save the file, and then upload it using the 'Upload' button.
Changing Lot Visibility
Changing the lot visibility means that you want to show or hide a lot from a bidder. By default, all lots are visible to all bidders. To change the visibility:
- Online - Select the edit button next to the desired lot and then modify the lot visibility and adjustments (as shown below):.
- Offline - Use the word 'FALSE' in the 'Visibility' column to hide a lot ('TRUE' means that the lot is visible).
Apply Bonus/Malus (Adjustments)
Click on the Bonus/malus tab to apply adjustments to bid values per bidder. You can also use the '% Bonus/Malus' and 'Turnover Bonus/Malus' columns, both online and in Excel, to favor or penalize bids from certain bidders for specified lots:
- % Bonus/Malus: This is expressed as a fraction, such as 0.50 (50%). A positive value favors the bid by reducing it by that percent. A negative value, such as -0.50 (-50%), penalizes the bid by increasing it by that percent.
- Turnover Bonus/Malus: This is expressed as a currency value, such as 100.00. A positive value favors the bid by reducing it by that number. A negative value, such as -100.00, penalizes the bid by increasing it by that value.
On the bidder-side screens, the adjustments impact the feedback, which will be based on the adjusted bid. For example, if two bidders enter a bid of $100,000 but Bidder 2 has a malus of 20% (-.20) then, because of the adjusted bid of $120,000 (see Figures 1 and 2 below, both showing feedback for the same bid value - except that the bidder in Figure 2 has the malus applied):
- Bidder 2 won't see the winning icon (the default 'Low Cost Baseline' scenario will award to the other bidder instead).
- Bidder 2 will see a lot rank of 2 instead of a rank of 1.
- Bidder 2 will not meet a reserve price/feedback target of $100,000 with a bid of $100,000 (the reserve will be compared to the adjusted bid).
- The difference to next rank/first rank will appear as $16,666.67 (16.67%) since a bid of $83,333.33 is needed to equal the other bidder's bid of $100,000 ($83,333.33 * 1.20 = $100,000).
- The minimum bid decrement and maximum next bid feedback will be affected if the target value is based on the next ranked lot bid or first ranked lot bid.
As mentioned above, scenario allocations will also be impacted by any bidder adjustments for lots.


text: This paper presents further investigations into the axisymmetric progressive crushing behaviour of metal tubes subject to quasi-static axial loads. Based on experiments and a finite element analysis, a new, more realistic theoretical model is developed by introducing the concept of effective plastic hinge length which is proportional to tube thickness. The theoretical crushing force history, mean crushing force and plastic half-wavelength are compared with experiments and finite element analysis results. It is found that for normalized mean crushing force, P m / M o, better agreement is obtained using the present theoretical model than previous ones. This analysis helps explain the paradox between the D/t exponent calculated from experimental results and previous theoretical predictions. Also, a good estimate of plastic half-wavelength, h, is also obtained.

Early case assessment (ECA) is obsolete
Early case assessment (ECA) software takes collected data (scanned documents, native documents, emails, forensic images, etc.) and lets you: (1) run searches using keywords, date ranges, etc. on the data; (2) see analytics for the data as a whole and for sets of search results, for example, number of documents, file types, custodians, and common words or phrases; and (3) "cull" the data before fully processing it and loading it into separate review software so that only part of the data collected actually makes it into the review software.
The only reason people think they need separate ECA software is price: it might cost $30 / GB or $40 / GB to process and load data into ECA software, whereas it might cost $200 / GB, $300 / GB, $400 / GB, or more to load the same data into review software.

I want to get the string length when a key is pressed like StackOverflow does.
Example of StackOverflow showing length
I have tried to do this with onblur, but it's not working. How do I do this?
share|improve this question
use onkeyup/onkeydown event. Could you post the code you tried? – Fabrizio Calderan Jun 15 '12 at 8:02
Is your problem really getting the length of a string? – Bergi Jun 15 '12 at 8:04
onblur refers to the opposite of focus, i.e. you are leaving the field. This is not the appropriate event handler. – Jeff Watkins Jun 15 '12 at 8:04
He just ask for the right event to bind a function to – Trinh Hoang Nhu Jun 15 '12 at 8:07

As for the question which event you should use for this: use the input event, and fall back to keyup/keydown in older browsers.
Here's an example, DOM0-style:
someElement.oninput = function() {
 this.onkeydown = null;
 // Your code goes here
someElement.onkeydown = function() {
 // Your code goes here
The other question is how to count the number of characters in the string. Depending on your definition of "character", all answers posted so far are incorrect. The string.length answer is only reliable when you're certain that only BMP Unicode symbols will be entered. For example, 'a'.length == 1, as you'd expect.
However, for supplementary (non-BMP) symbols, things are a bit different. For example, '𝌆'.length == 2, even though there's only one Unicode symbol there. This is because JavaScript exposes UCS-2 code units as "characters".
Luckily, it's still possible to count the number of Unicode symbols in a JavaScript string through some hackery. You could use Punycode.js's utility functions to convert between UCS-2 strings and Unicode code points for this:
// 'String.length' replacement that only counts full Unicode characters
punycode.ucs2.decode('a').length; // 1
punycode.ucs2.decode('𝌆').length; // 1 (note that ''𝌆'.length == 2'!)
P.S. I just noticed the counter script that Stack Overflow uses gets this wrong. Try entering 𝌆, and you'll see that it (incorrectly) counts as two characters.
share|improve this answer
𝌆 isn't even supported by standard Microsoft web fonts, so the likelihood of its usage is quite low, imho. EDIT: I could be wrong... It definitely doesn't appear in the answer body above, tho. – bvukelic Jul 25 '12 at 12:34
It's just an example. Feel free to replace it with any astral (i.e. non-BMP) Unicode symbol. – Mathias Bynens Jul 25 '12 at 13:16
Thanks for pointing that out. Most english speakers overlook that problem. – Gastón Sánchez Jan 6 '14 at 3:38
Use keyup event:
0
var inp = document.getElementById('myinput');
var chars = document.getElementById('chars');
inp.onkeyup = function() {
 chars.innerHTML = inp.value.length;
Just a note for those that suggest keydown. That won't work. The keydown fires before character is added to the input box or textarea, so the length of the value would be wrong (one step behind). Therefore, the only solution that works is keyup, which fires after the character is added.
share|improve this answer
I suggest you post your code here too - its more helpful when the target site it unavailable – ManseUK Jun 15 '12 at 8:08
Thanks for suggestion. Updated. – bvukelic Jun 15 '12 at 8:12
This is outdated advice. Use the more appropriate input event where available, then fall back to keyup/keydown. Also, note that this doesn't count the number of symbols in the string correctly. – Mathias Bynens Jun 15 '12 at 9:42
It might not be cutting edge, but it seems to work rather well. It's certainly not deprecated (at least not to my knowledge). – bvukelic Jun 15 '12 at 9:44
_USER_ The keyup event won't fire if you enter text by pasting (without using the keyboard), or by dragging text in; or when dictating text, for example. The input event does. As a bonus, the input event fires before you even lift up your key — making it feel much faster. – Mathias Bynens Jun 15 '12 at 13:08
You should bind a function to keyup event
textarea.keyup = function(){
with jquery
 var length = $(this).val().length;
share|improve this answer
function cool(d)
it will return the length of string
Instead of blur use keydown event
share|improve this answer
 var myString ='sample String'; var length = myString.length ;
first you need to defined a keypressed handler or some kind of a event trigger to listen, btw, getting the length is really simple like mentioned above
share|improve this answer
The quick and dirty way would be to simple bind to the keyup event. For example : _URL_
 $('_TAG_').text('you typed'+ this.value.length +'characters');
But better would be to bind a reusable function to several events. For example also to the change(), so you can also anticipate text changes such as pastes (with the context menu, shortcuts would also be caught by the keyup )
share|improve this answer
I'm not sure what you mean by having tried it onblur, but to get the length of any string, use its.length property, so in the case of a textbox or textarea:
Changing that ID, of course, to whatever the actual ID is.
share|improve this answer
The OP is talking about the event used - onblur – ManseUK Jun 15 '12 at 8:09
Basically: assign a keyup handler to the element, in it count the length of the and write the count to a separate if its length is shorter than a minimum value.
Here's is an example

A major characteristic of Chinese instrumental variations is the use of identification motives called the hetou (refrain head) or hewei (refrain tail) that appear in the beginning and end of each movement. Again, except for these refrain motives, there might be no other relationship between the variations and the refrains or among the variations themselves. Sometimes, a movement appears several times among the other movements in a suite; this is considered a variation technique. Due to Western influence, ABA form has become extremely popular in modern instrumental folk music.
Therefore, the solution is to change the guidelines.


text: The effects of unions on productivity and firm performance have been the topic of extensive research. Existing studies have, however, primarily focused on firm-level bargaining and on markets that are characterised by a small and fixed number of identical firms. This paper studies how different unionisation structures affect firm productivity and firm performance in a monopolistic competition model with heterogeneous firms and free entry. While centralised bargaining induces tougher selection among heterogeneous producers and thus increases average productivity, firm-level bargaining allows less productive entrants to remain in the market. Centralised bargaining also results in higher average output and profit levels than either decentralised bargaining or a competitive labour market. From the perspective of consumers, the choice between centralised and decentralised bargaining involves a potential trade-off between product variety and product prices.
