Ice Imp was a character introduced in "Evergreen." The imp was likely made of ice based on its name and how it melted during its encounter with the lava dog Magwood.
The imp had a plump, blue-skinned creature wore a red fez and a leopard print scarf. It was always seen sitting down and never opened its eyes. The Ice Imp also held a simple hand drum which it used when summoned.
The Ice Imp was one of Urgence Evergreen's portable sources of music, likely for his journeys. It was a proficient drummer and it was originally contained in a small bottle that was carried along with the rest of Evergreen's luggage. The imp could be summoned from the bottle by simply opening it. This was seen when Evergreen asked Gunther to find him some chime music but summoned the imp instead. The Ice Imp had a light voice and often exclaimed in a drawn-out "heeey" when disturbed.
 - On Cartoon Network Latin America, the Ice Imp's death was cut, possibly due to gruesome imagery.

Malachite. Malachite is a Copper Carbonate Hydroxide and it is a semiprecious stone. The origin of the name goes to the ancient Greek word "malakos" or "soft." The color varies from light green to deep green and very rarely to greenish black. Several shades may appear in the pattern of a single stone.
In ancient Egypt, malachite was a symbol of the beginning and continuation of life. This is why the gem has been considered a guard-amulet since ancient times. It is a protector of children and childhood, it relieves nightmares, and it helps aid relaxation.


Determine and monitor the docking state and type
Android devices can be docked into several different kinds of docks. These include car or home docks and digital versus analog docks. The dock-state is typically closely linked to the charging state as many docks provide power to docked devices.
How the dock-state of the phone affects your update rate depends on your app. You may choose to increase the update frequency of a sports center app when it's in the desktop dock, or disable your updates completely if the device is car docked. Conversely, you may choose to maximize your updates while car docked if your background service is updating traffic conditions.
The dock state is also broadcast as a sticky Intent, allowing you to query if the device is docked or not, and if so, in which kind of dock.
Determine the current docking state
The dock-state details are included as an extra in a sticky broadcast of the ACTION_DOCK_EVENT action. Because it's sticky, you can simply call registerReceiver(), passing in null as the broadcast receiver. The following snippet shows how to complete this process:
val dockStatus: Intent? = IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_DOCK_EVENT).let { ifilter ->
 context.registerReceiver(null, ifilter)
IntentFilter ifilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_DOCK_EVENT);
Intent dockStatus = context.registerReceiver(null, ifilter);
You can extract the current docking status from the EXTRA_DOCK_STATE extra:
val dockState: Int = dockStatus?.getIntExtra(EXTRA_DOCK_STATE, -1)?: -1
val isDocked: Boolean = dockState!= Intent.EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_UNDOCKED
int dockState = dockStatus.getIntExtra(EXTRA_DOCK_STATE, -1);
boolean isDocked = dockState!= Intent.EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_UNDOCKED;
Determine the current dock type
If a device is docked, it can be docked in any one of four different type of dock:
 - Car
 - Desk
 - Low-End (Analog) Desk
 - High-End (Digital) Desk
Note that the latter two options were only introduced to Android in API level 11, so it's good practice to check for all three where you are only interested in the type of dock rather than it being digital or analog specifically:
val isCar: Boolean = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_CAR
val isDesk: Boolean = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_DESK
 || dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_LE_DESK
 || dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_HE_DESK
boolean isCar = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_CAR;
boolean isDesk = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_DESK ||
 dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_LE_DESK ||
 dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_HE_DESK;

Not content with synchronizing your phones to make one giant speaker? Researchers at the Tokyo University of Technology have developed "Pinch," an interface that lets you connect multiple devices together to form a giant disjointed display. Although the technology behind the interface remains a mystery — described only as a Wi-Fi based system — a video posted by DigInfo TV shows Pinch in action. To connect two devices, a user simply needs to pinch two adjacent screens together. The screens can be linked together in whatever alignment you choose, as the position and screen size of each display is communicated on a successful pinch.

text: The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (SPCA) is a North Carolina law regulating activities that disturb natural ground cover. It authorizes local governments to enact ordinances regulating construction activity to prevent erosion and pollution by sediment and allows parties injured by activity in violation of the law to recover damages. In Applewood Properties, LLC, et al. v. New South Properties, LLC, et al., decided March 20, 2012, the North Carolina Court of Appeals reviewed an order by the trial court granting summary judgment to defendants and dismissing SPCA claims filed against the defendants. The court found that while the defendants may have engaged in soil disturbing activities, there was no sediment deposited into water as a result of those activities.

A comment by Tim Lymington notes that the wife of an earl is a countess. Why is this so? Shouldn't it have been earless? Was this perhaps a conscious decision due to its homography with ear-less?
Did a jarl ever have a jarless? Ah. Perhaps not.
share|improve this question
-ess is a suffix from French; the most common Germanic suffix is -in, so if there were an inherited feminine form of jarl it would probably be jarlin. One can speculate that this would have come into English as earlen (the only desinence of -in I can think of in English is vixen, from fox). – Colin Fine Jan 19 '13 at 19:41
3 Answers 3
The male version of countess is sometimes count. From Wikipedia:
An earl was originally another title, but later came to be equivalent to count:
An earl is a member of the nobility. The title is Anglo-Saxon, akin to the Scandinavian form jarl, and meant "chieftain", particularly a chieftain set to rule a territory in a king's stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the Middle Ages and was replaced with duke (hertig/hertug). In later medieval Britain, it became the equivalent of the continental count (in England in the earlier period, it was more akin to duke; in Scotland it assimilated the concept of mormaer)....
The Norman-derived equivalent "count" was not introduced following the Norman Conquest of England though "countess" was and is used for the female title. As Geoffrey Hughes writes, "It is a likely speculation that the Norman French title 'Count' was abandoned in England in favour of the Germanic 'Earl' […] precisely because of the uncomfortable phonetic proximity to cunt".
share|improve this answer
To further complicate things: "An earl has the title Earl of [X] when the title originates from a placename, or Earl [X] when the title comes from a surname. In either case, he is referred to as Lord [X], and his wife as Lady [X]. A countess who holds an earldom in her own right also uses Lady [X], but her husband does not have a title (unless he has one in his own right)." – Hugo Jan 19 '13 at 6:32
Thanks! So, the reason is "for lack of a better term"? How dull :( Any idea what female jarls were called? – coleopterist Jan 19 '13 at 7:18
As far as I can tell, jarls were only men with no special title for their wives, although the first ever female Guizer Jarl was chosen in 2010, there's no mention of a feminine title. _URL_ (But this actual title only dates from 1906, the role was only created in 1881, and some say it's "based upon a flawed Viking perspective".) – Hugo Jan 19 '13 at 7:32
Before the title died out, jarl was also used for a higher rank in Scandinavia, including rulers of petty kingdoms. I imagine it is for this reason that we normally translate Greve and Lensgreve as Count rather than Earl even though the latter would be a more "complete" translation into English. – Jon Hanna Jan 19 '13 at 14:09
As Hugo cites in his Wikipedia reference, the title of earl is derived from the Anglo-Saxon title. An eorl was the highest rank below the king in pre-Norman England, and there was no female version of the word. Indeed, the only female noble who had a title at all was the cyninge (queen). There existed a kind of abstract title, but it was pretty broad:
ides f (-e/-a) virgin; 2 woman, wife, lady, queen; [it is a word little used except in poetry, and it is supposed by Grimm to have been applied, in the earliest times, like the Greek numfé, to superhuman beings, occupying a position between goddesses and mere women]
In all my reading about the period I have never encountered a female title of rank corresponding to eorl (itself replacing ealdorman). Indeed, even the famous wife of Eorl Leofric of Mercia, whom you know as Lady Godiva (_PHONE_), is simply referred to by her given name, Godgifu.
Given that there was no traditional corresponding title of rank, it is not surprising that one should have been borrowed.
share|improve this answer
An earl and a count are equivalent. But "count" from the French, is a much more common usage in English than "earl," which is derived from the Scandinavian "jarl."
Hence the female version, countess, is a "take off" of a "count" rather than an "earl."
share|improve this answer
On what grounds do you say "'count'... is a much more common usage than English than 'earl'"? Given that earl is a rank in British nobility and count isn't, I think this is nonsense. – Colin Fine Jan 19 '13 at 19:34

Are There Any Harmful Effects of Orgonite
Are There Any Harmful Effects of Orgonite
For many years now, orgone energy has been known as a universal life force that is capable of turning negative energies into positive ones and send it out into the atmosphere. There are various theories surrounding the subtle energies, particularly because there is no scientific method to measure the energy and prove its effects.Generations of people have experienced the effects of subtle energies and have reported about their effects.
Is Orgonite Harmful?
Orgonite is derived from the term "orgone" which was coined by Wilhem Reich. It is a life-force energy which is believed to exist in healthy and stagnant form. The healthy form of energy is known as POR (Positive Orgone Energy) and the stagnant one is DOR (Deadly Orgone).
Orgonite/Orgone Devices are made up of resin, metal shavings and quartz crystals. They are capable of transmuting the negative energy into positive one. Positive energies cause a number of benefits to the surroundings.
 - In human beings, orgonite is known to induce better sleep patterns. The presence of orgonite helps a person to sleep through the night and reduces the number of waking considerably.
 - Orgonites are known to reduce the ill-effects of EMFs. It does not reduce the radiations as such, but can reduce their harmful effects. Orgonites can specifically be helpful; for people who are sensitive to emissions.
 - Orgonites are known to accelerate the growth of plants in many cases. Yet another positive impact of orgonite can be seen on foods. It acts as a preservative and foods remain fresh for longer than usual.
 - Orgonite remove the energy blockages from the body. Once the blockages are released there is a gush of fresh and positive energy, a person feels happy and content.
Just like how too much of anything can be alarming, the same goes with Orgonite. One can have as many orgonite as they wish. But stay alert that you may sometimes experience temporary discomfort, as too much of anything is not good. In the presence of too much energy, the effects can be felt strongly. Hence, it is best to use Orgonite in nominal amounts and make the most of it.
One can benefit their house, workplace, and environment all with Orgonite. In fact, Orgonite have effect on all the living beings, including animals.

text: The dismantling of disused industrial facilities such as nuclear power plants or refineries is an enormous challenge for the planning and control of the logistic processes. Existing control models do not meet the requirements for a proper dismantling of industrial plants. Therefore, the paper presents an approach for the control of dismantling and post-processing processes (e.g. decontamination) in plant decommissioning. In contrast to existing approaches, the dismantling sequence and depth are selected depending on the capacity utilization of required post-processing processes by also considering individual characteristics of respective dismantling tasks (e.g. decontamination success rate, uncertainties regarding the process times). The results can be used in the dismantling of industrial plants (e.g. nuclear power plants) to reduce dismantling time and costs by avoiding bottlenecks such as capacity constraints.

EDC is an increasingly common abbreviation for Every Day Carry. In it's simplest definition it means the things you carry every day, like car keys, a phone and maybe a pocket knife. EDC items are those that you carry in your pockets or in a reasonably sized bag that you use to accomplish daily tasks. The items vary depending on what a person does on a daily basis.
Because of this, EDC will tend to be very personalized to the individual. There is normally an emphasis on quality items that will function reliably, but disposable items like latex gloves are often found in an EDC bag. In some cases, EDC items will be fairly expensive, high quality items with an emphasis on lightweight but strong materials such as titanium and carbon fiber.
Most EDC items are selected to provide the user with a sense of preparedness and capability. These items will often be things that are a little bit overkill or unique, and EDC gear tends to constantlybe in a state of evolution as it is tailored to the user's requirements and preferences.
Common EDC items are listed below:
- Folding knife
- Multitool such as a Leatherman
- Wrist watch
- Cell phone
- Pen, pencil
- Pocket notebook
- First aid kit
EDC items often cross into tactical items such as larger knives, handguns, and pens that double as striking weapons or kubatons.

We are currently engaged in a study and mapping of Molloy DNA in Ireland and around the world.
There are a number of reasons why DNA Genealogy may be helpful in identifying your Molloy ancestors in County Offaly:
1. Connect with existing residents of County Offally - The Molloy Clan ruled Firceall in County Offaly for centuries. If you have been successful in tracing your Molloy ancestors back to a different county in Ireland you can still pursue an even more distant connection with an existing resident of County Offaly.
2. Identify the County Offaly Parish where your Molloy ancestor lived - As a result of the loss of the baptismal records in the Dublin fire, many of the County Offaly church records only go back to the early 1800's. Therefore if your Molloy ancestor was born in Offaly pre-1800 there may no longer exist a church record to reflect their baptism. A match with a Molloy DNA study participant may enable you to identify the parish where your Molloy ancestor lived.
3. Locate the County in Ireland where your ancestor lived - If you have been unable to trace your ancestor back to a particular county in Ireland, a DNA test may connect you with other Molloy's who were born or married outside of Offaly. Many Molloy's were forced out of County Offaly by the Crown in the 1600 and 1700's.
4. For Fun - You may wish to submit your DNA to see how closely you are related to King Niall. The O'Molloys are descended from the famous Niall of the Nine Hostages, High King of Ireland in the fifth century. Following the battle of Druim Deirg in the year 515, the descendants of Niall established control over extensive lands including Firceall, which stretched from north of Tullamore as far south as the edge of Birr. Ownership of these lands remained with the O'Molloy's until the first half of the seventeenth century, when the area was subjected to the plantations of James I and Cromwell.
Paternal Lineage DNA Test
We recommend the yDNA 37 test offerred by Family Tree DNA which costs approximately $170. One to reduce the cost per person is to have several family members share the cost of a single DNA test. The yDNA test is for male participants only as we are focused on tracking the Molloy ancestral history.

The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant is located in south central Ohio, approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) north of Portsmouth, Ohio, and 112 kilometers (70 miles) south of Columbus, Ohio. The site is situated on a 1,483-hectare (3,708-acre) federal reservation
approximately 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) south of the Village of Piketon. Construction of the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant began in late 1952 to expand the Federal Government's gaseous diffusion program already in place at Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Paducah, Kentucky. The facility was built to increase the production of enriched uranium at rates substantially above the other two facilities because highly-enriched uranium was required for use in nuclear submarine reactors, and low-enriched uranium was needed for commercial nuclear power plants. The first process cell went online in September 1954. A gas centrifuge uranium enrichment program was initiated in the early 1980s at Portsmouth. However, full operation was never implemented for the centrifuge process. Since 1991, the plant has produced only low-enriched uranium for use as fuel in commercial nuclear power plants.

A hierarchical production planning structure enables manufacturing systems to handle customer disturbances with different measures on different planning levels. Two different kinds of customer order behavior can be observed and are as well discussed in literature. In the first, being forecast-evolutionbehavior, customers provide a forecast quantity for a specific due date for a long horizon in advance and update their forecast quantities periodically. In the second, being customer-required-lead-time-behavior, customers demand stochastic order amounts with a customer-required-lead-time whereby the manufacturing company generates an aggregated forecast, e.g. for product groups. These required lead times are usually shorter than the forecast-evolution-horizon, but order quantities do not further change. For comparing the influence of both order behaviors on a hierarchical production planning system, a simulation study is performed in which logistic performance measures such as service-level, utilization, capacity-, inventoryand tardiness-costs are analyzed with respect to a normalized forecast quality measure.

Environmental Monitoring in Antarctica
Environmental monitoring is essential in Antarctica to allow assessment of the impacts of human activities. Examples of the this monitoring work carried out by BAS are given below.
Sewage outfall monitoring, Rothera Station
Until 2003, untreated sewage was discharged into the sea from Rothera Station. Monitoring of the receiving water before and after installation of a biological treatment plant showed a dramatic reduction in the sewage plume as indicated by faecal coliforms.
Concentrations of heavy metals in lichens and marine bivalves around Rothera Research Station.
Concentrations of lead, zinc, cadmium and other heavy metals in lichens and marine bivalves are measured. The results are used to assess whether any observed pollution is due to station activities, and to determine the area of contamination.
Skua Population breeding success
The impact of Rothera Research Station on the local South Polar Skua (Stercorarius maccormicki) population has been monitored for over 12 years. The monitoring programme has recently been expanded to include measurements such as chick weight, survival and egg dimensions.

In fact, people who recently tried out the new five-step termite fishing method found that it worked better than anything else at retrieving the nutritious, yet pesky, insects, which some human cultures eat too.

What does BUTO mean?
Buto, Butus, or Butosus, now Tell al-Fara'in near the city of Desouk, was an ancient city located 95 km east of Alexandria in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The city stood on the Sebennytic arm of the Nile, near its mouth, and on the southern shore of the Butic Lake. It is the modern Kem Kasir. Buto originally was two cities, Pe and Dep, which merged into one city that the Egyptians named Per-Wadjet. The goddess Wadjet was its local goddess, often represented as a cobra, and she was considered the patron deity of Lower Egypt. Her oracle was located in her renowned temple in that city. An annual festival held in the city celebrated Wadjet. Her image formed the royal crown, the Uraeus, worn by the rulers of Lower Egypt. It encircled their heads and the cobra flare and head extended from their foreheads. Wadjet was closely associated in the Egyptian pantheon with Bast the fierce goddess depicted as a lioness warrior and protector, a sun goddess whose eye later became the eye of Horus or the eye of Ra, the Lady of Flame. The city also contained a sanctuary of Horus and much later, became associated with Isis.

A Tale of Two Views
By Gene McCullagh
August 18, 2010
The Library module is a powerhouse of organization tools. You can view many images, a few, or one. Zoom in for fine details. Add star ratings. Add color labels. Change landscape to portrait and back again! The list goes on and on.
There is one small problem, however. Many new Lightroom users can be confused by Lightroom's reaction to some of their actions. Some seasoned users even get confused on occasion. Here's a typical question I get asked; "I select several images and press 4 to add a 4 star rating. Why does this sometimes add the rating to all the images selected and other times only to my active image?"
The answer lies in the difference between how the Grid view and the Loupe view treat these actions. Although they are both part of the Library module they serve very different purposes. You can think of the grid view like a lawn sprinkler, it gets everything wet. Loupe view is more like a water gun, you aim it at something and only it gets wet. (It's a weak analogy, I know. But hang in there.)
First, let's talk a little about terms. Take a look at this screenshot from the Library module.
This is the grid view. You can see that the border area around the images appears in different shades of gray. Dark gray indicates that the image is unselected. Light gray means the image is selected. When multiple images are selected then the active image is indicated by the lightest gray border. This same scheme is reflected in the filmstrip at the bottom of the window.
You can switch between grid and loupe by clicking on one of the first two icons on the toolbar. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts of G for grid and E for loupe. When you switch to loupe view it is the active image that will appear.
Back to the original question. So why does pressing 4 sometimes add a 4 star rating to all the selected images and at other times only to the active image? The answer lies in how these two views approach organizational tools. Grid works on the entire group while loupe plays favorites with the active image. This behavior applies to nearly everything you do in the Library module. So if I'm in grid view with several images selected and press 5 they ALL get 5 stars.
But in loupe view only the active image gets the rating.
This behavior is consistent with all of the organizational tools; keywords, color labels, flags, virtual copies, metadata, etc.. If you glance over at the metadata panel while in grid view you can see that Lightroom puts a placeholder in some fields that are different across the images selected.
So, for example, if the Rights Usage Terms are not the same for all the selected images you will see in that field. As soon as you switch to loupe view the panel changes to show only the metadata for the active image (no matter how many are in the selection).
Even the left and right arrow keys respond differently. While in loupe view the left and right arrow keys will cycle through the selected group and make each image in turn the active image. In grid view pressing the right arrow key will jump you to the first image AFTER the selected group.
The big exception to all of this is the develop tools found in the Library module. And this too makes sense since these tools aren't organizational by nature and are really part of the Develop module. They're in the Library module as a convenience.
So whether you are in grid or loupe view, increasing exposure will only effect the active image. Likewise, pressing V will only convert the active image to black & white.
Once you get this difference into your head then the confusion will be gone and you can zip through your shoots like an organizational superhero!

Got a Question?


text:
Assume that the world economy consists of two countries
Question Background: Assume that the world economy consists of two countries: Russia and Byelorussia. Each country can produce tomatoes and potatoes. Russia can produce 1000 tons of tomatoes or 3000 tons of potatoes or any linear combination of tomatoes and potatoes that satisfies potatoes+3×tomatoes=3000. Byelorussia can produce 1000 tons of tomatoes or 1000 tons of or any linear combination of tomatoes and potatoes that satisfies potatoes+tomatoes=1000. Countries can freely trade with each other.
There are three specific questions that I'm unclear on and would like a more detailed solution to. These detailed solutions would preferably be a written explanation (possibly accompanied by a graph):
c) (2 points) If the equilibrium price of tomatoes is $600/ton, what is the minimum and maximum
possible prices of potatoes?
Answer: min = $200 max = $600
d) (3 points) Assume people in both countries eat the same dish that requires the equal amount of
tomatoes and potatoes to prepare. What will be the Russia's GDP if the equilibrium price of tomatoes is
Answer: World production: T=P=1500, price of potatos=$200; Russia produces 1500tons of potatoes and 500
tons of tomatoes. Thus, GDP=1500*200+$500*600=$600,000
e) (3 points) Given the same information as in question (d) above, how many tons of potatoes will be
consumed in Russia?


text: Microinjection molding has been drawing more and more attention due to its great advantages such as cost effectiveness and mass production capability. In this work, an experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of the mold surface roughness on the achieved filled length of the molded microfeatures. For this purpose, an aluminum mold insert with microchannels having different surface roughness values was designed and fabricated using ultraprecision diamond machining and micromilling method. The experimental results revealed that increasing surface roughness of the microchannel wall led to a decrease in the filled length of the molded microfeatures. It was also found that with increased melt temperature or injection velocity, the effect of surface roughness was weakened by high-pressure trapped air inside the microchannels during injection process. Finally, the influence mechanism of the mold surface roughness was discussed.


text: Cemetery memorials are synonymous with gothic horror. Dark, haunting and beautiful they capture the imagination of those who wander in their midst. Chances are, though, if you are wandering through a cemetery, you're likely to ponder the kinds of thoughts that belong there: life, death, and the things that slip in between. One particularly notorious memorial statue was the Agnus Memorial. This sculpture was so imposing that the locals in Baltimore took to making up dark tales of its metaphysical misdeeds and gave 'her' the nickname 'Black Aggie'. What inspired these stories? More importantly, what inspired her creation? Join us this week for a tale of intrigue, artistry, love and grief; as we explore the tragic history of Henry and Clover Adams, and the monument that went on to have a life all life of its own.

The material component was a basic part of casting most spells.[2]
A material component consisted of one or more physical objects or substances. Depending on the spell, once it was cast, the material component was annihilated. However, a spellcaster could often use a spellcasting focus to substitute for most components, which would not be consumed by the spell. Casters who wielded priestly magic usually used a divine focus such as a holy symbol, which had higher spiritual significance than the standard focus, while druids often employed a druidic focus.[2][3]
Arcane spellcasters usually employed component pouches with individual compartments to store most material components required for their spells,[4] unless they chose to employ an arcane focus instead.[3]
Valuable or rare material components often had to be stored separately and could not be replaced by a focus.[3]

More than one in two Australians who have a long-term health condition or disability experiences social exclusion.
Poor health and disability are strongly linked to social exclusion in Australia. In measuring social exclusion from the latest data (2010) we found that 52% of Australians who have a long-term health condition or disability experience some level of exclusion. One in eight (13%) experience deep social exclusion.
Over the 2001–10 period we measured, the frequency of social exclusion among people with a long-term health condition or disability dropped from 61% to 52%. The frequency of deep social exclusion also fell, from 21% to 13%.
In the graph below, the 'all social exclusion' line shows the total of marginal social exclusion and deep social exclusion.

Useful Tips
Dutch Oven Cooking
1. Fewer hot coals on the bottom, and more hot coals on top.
2. In all methods the coals need arranged toward the outer perimeter of both the bottom, as well as the lid to avoid burning. Rotating the Dutch Oven and lid at various times during the cooking process, also helps avoid hot spots and burning food.
3. +3 UP -3 DOWN Method
Once you use it a few times, and get it in your head, you won't have to carry any type of chart. In general this method produces 350° in any diameter size Dutch Oven. Knowing the Diameter of your pot; for example, if you have a normal depth 10 inch Dutch Oven, you simply add 3 to the diameter for the top (10+3=13 coals). You then subtract 3 from the diameter for the bottom (10-3=7 coals).
Rule of thumb for additional heat is; each additional coal added to the top only, will increase the internal temperature an additional 20 degrees.
Getting Latitude / Longitude from Google Maps
 1. To begin search for your desired location as you normally would.
 2. Next, right click the red "A" pin displayed on the map. Select What's here?

While having a large enough stomach capacity plays the major role during most longer food challenges, speed eating definitely plays the main role in most shorter eating contests. When you are attempting a large food challenge, you typically have a lot more time to work with than you do during eating contests. A majority of challenges have a time limit ranging between 30 minutes and 1 hour, while very few challenges have time limits lower than 15 minutes. It is totally the opposite for eating contests. Most contests are 10 minutes or less, and there are very few actual eating contests longer than 15 minutes. In the sport of track & field, there are sprinters and there are long distance runners, and then there are just a few people that excel at both. Sprinting takes speed while long distance running requires a heavy amount of endurance. Not many sprinters can compete in long distance races, and not many long distance runners can compete in sprinting. There are some people that can do both though, and this same concept applies to the world of food challenges and competitive eating too. There are some people that will dominate eating competitions less than 5 minutes because they are great speed eaters, but they don't have the stomach capacity to compete in the longer events. Then there are some people that can dominate large food challenges in under 1 hour, but they cannot compete with speed eaters during eating contests. Then there are some people that can do both because they have a large stomach capacity and are also great speed eaters. Which category do you think applies to you and your competitive eating skill level?
Almost all of the Stomach Capacity Training articles apply strictly to helping you train to increase your body's stomach capacity. You may also have read the article How To Increase Your Jaw Strength which shows you how you can train to increase the strength and endurance of your jaw and mouth muscles during competitions. As mentioned in that article, the 2 major factors involved with speed eating are having a strong jaw with a lot of endurance, and also having the ability to swallow larger chunks of food at a faster rate. The key to speed eating is to focus on swallowing rather than chewing. You need the strong jaw strength to bite the food and chew it up a few times (if even necessary), but then you have to have the ability to swallow it quickly so that you can move on to taking more bites so that you can swallow again and keep repeating the process. You will learn how to eat fast by reading Speed Eating: How To Eat Food Faster in the Eating Contest Tips section, but in this article you will learn how to train yourself to become able to eat fast, which really isn't that hard if you follow these tips:
Practice swallowing with your head up – If you ever watch some of the top competitive eaters speed eat, you will see them holding their head up during almost the entire contest except for when they are grabbing more food. The best way to explain why you should do this is by explaining one of the first steps to giving somebody CPR (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation). Before breathing into their mouth or performing a series of firm chest compressions, you have to tilt the person's head back to allow air to flow more freely in and out. During CPR you do not want the person's airway blocked, and air won't flow freely if the person's head is down. This applies to speed eating and swallowing too. Do you ever chug liquids with your head down? Keep your head up while you are eating and swallowing will be much easier for you. Practice this during all your regular meals at home.
Practice with water first – Before practicing with food, train with water. You goal is to be able to swallow more food at one time, so practice swallowing as much water as you can. By doing this, you are able to get your throat used to swallowing more while also eliminating the risk of choking. You can do this anywhere you are allowed to drink water, which is basically everywhere. Tilt your head back and fill your mouth with as much water as possible, almost to the point where it is dripping out, and then try to swallow. You may not be able to the first time, and you may therefore need to start with a little less water in your mouth. Keep on practicing and building up until you can swallow the whole mouthful of water. Then you are ready to practice safely with real food.
Train with real food – To train your body to hold more food, practice by eating real food. To train your jaw to chew food harder and faster, you need to practice by chewing real food harder and faster. Therefore, to train your body to swallow more food faster, practice swallowing larger chunks of real food faster, but be careful.
Try softer foods first – Now that you know to keep your head up and esophagus open, and you can swallow an entire mouthful of water at one time, you are ready to practice with food. It is not smart to go straight from swallowing water to bigger pieces of steak though, so start by training with softer foods like oatmeal. Cook up some oatmeal for breakfast or as a snack, and then practice swallowing large mouthfuls of it. Feel free to chase the big bites with some water. Definitely keep water on hand either way though because the water will come in handy if you are struggling to swallow the oatmeal after your throat starts getting dry. You may have some other softer foods in your pantry too. Rice, quinoa, and other moist foods can work well also. Using foods like this help you establish great form while all but eliminating your chances of choking. Always train safely!!
After you have progressed from step to step and now feel comfortable swallowing larger chunks of food, you are ready to start training with real foods. You basically want to practice speed eating without worrying about increasing your jaw strength. As mentioned in How To Increase Your Jaw Strength, you want to do one or the other, and you can't really do both. You can do this with any regular meal, but I prefer training with easier to chew and swallow foods like large sandwiches. Unless you are practicing for a steak challenge, really tough foods like steak aren't great for practicing to swallow and eat faster. Those are better for training your jaw strength. The main thing that you need to do is to make sure you don't go crazy. You DO NOT want to risk choking, and therefore you should NOT practice swallowing extra large bites. That is also why you don't want to train at home with really tough foods. You may not want to train when you are out to dinner with your girlfriend, but it is smart to have somebody around you just in case. You can choke anytime at any meal if you are not careful, but your chances increase drastically if you are attempting to speed eat. Always have water or some other type of liquid handy in case you need it. Competitive eating is meant to be fun, and you do not want to hurt yourself doing it. Now that you are trained and ready to practice, read Speed Eating: How To Eat Food Faster.

is no longer needed for other nodes to send traffic to it. Instead, the NKN address is the only information needed to send packets to a node or client. The role of the NKN address in NKN is similar to an IP address in the Internet. Please refer to "NKN Address Scheme" section for how nodes and clients choose NKN addresses.
The distance from NKN addresses x to y is defined as
dist(x, y) = (y — x) mod 2^m
which satisfies the following conditions:
 - dist(x, y) >= 0
 - dist(x, y) = 0 if and only if x = y
 - dist(x, z) <= dist(x, y) + dist(y, z)
 - dist(x, y) = dist(x + a, y + a)
Note that the distance metric is asymmetric such that dist(x, y) (distance from x to y) is generally not equal to dist(y, x).
Some people may ask, why does NKN define a concept of "distance" in the network? In fact, this is because with the definition of "distance", you can define the topology of the network. The network topology is extremely important for NKN. E.g:
We first define the successor and predecessor node of any NKN address x
successor(x) = argmin_y {dist(x, y) | y in all nodes}
predecessor(x) = argmin_y {dist(y, x) | y in all nodes}
Successor and predecessor of a node can be defined similarly, except that the successor and predecessor of a node cannot be itself. If node x is the successor of node y, then y is the predecessor of x.
Each node x in NKN has a few neighbors:
successor((x + 2^i) mod 2^m), 0 <= i < m
{y | x is a successor of y}
Since not all NKN addresses are assigned to nodes, some neighbors above point to the same node. It is worth mentioning that neighbors are defined to be symmetric such that if y is a neighbor of x, x is also a neighbor of y. The expected number of neighbors of a node is O(log(N)).
Clients connect to the NKN through nodes. A client at NKN address x is connected to predecessor(x). The client sends and receives data only through established connections with the node it's connected to and thus no client public IP address is needed. Clients in the NKN are similar to keys in Chord DHT (except that it's connected to its predecessor rather than successor).
Although there are other topology that may lead to a more efficient routing path, our choice has a critical advantage such that each choice of neighbor can be verified by at least one other node. Suppose a node at address x should choose A as its i-th successor node. In this case, there are no nodes between address (x + 2^i) mod 2^m and A, and A should have known this information from its predecessor. Thus A knows that itself should be a neighbor of x. If node x does not choose A as a neighbor, A is able to falsify it. Similarly, if x chooses another node between A and (x + 2^(i+1)) mod 2^m in addition to A as neighbors, A should also be able to falsify it. Verifiability is crucial to an open network that may have a nontrivial portion of malicious nodes. It greatly reduces the possibility that malicious nodes choose specific neighbors to attack the system.
If you understand the principles of DDTN topology selection, then we can further introduce the DDTN routing technology. Given an established NKN network, routing can be achieved in a greedy algorithm using only information about neighbors. When a node wants to send or relay a packet to a destination address, it sends the packet to the neighbor that has the smallest distance to the destination address. The remaining distance becomes at most half of the previous value for each relay, thus decreases exponentially or faster as the packet is being relayed. Similar to Chord DHT, the expected number of hops is O(log(N)) given uniformly distributed addresses.
If the destination address is a client rather than a node, the above routing stops as long as the packet reaches the node connected to the client. The node then relays the packet to the client through the established connection.
The route between any two node pair is verifiable. Suppose a node sending a packet to destination address D should choose its neighbor A as the next hop while it actually chose neighbor B. From the routing rule we know that dist(A, D) < dist(B, D). Then A is able to falsify the route. If the node chose a non-neighbor node as the next hop, then such route can be falsified by the actual neighbor as discussed previously. The verifiability of routing is crucial to reduce the possibility of forming routes consisting of only malicious nodes. For a practical relay path validation algorithm, please refer to "Relay Path Validation" section.
In addition to network topology and routing, NKN must consider openness in order to build a network-based public blockchain. This requires a set of NKN protocols to define the behavior of the nodes/clients, such as node/client join, node/client exit, channel keepalive messages, network stabilization mechanisms, and so on.
Since NKN is an open network, it is inevitable that nodes will join and leave the network at any time, with or without prior notification. To efficiently maintain the NKN, each node locally maintains three lists:
 1. Its successors and predecessors. At least one successor and one predecessor is needed, while keeping more nodes in the list enhances fault tolerance. (For specific principles, please refer to the NKN White Paper Ising Model Mathematical Proof and Simulation Results: _URL_ ).
 2. Its neighbors.
 3. Clients connected to it.
Nodes update these lists in response to topology changes. For efficiency, it is important that when a node or client join or leave the network, only a small portion of the other nodes (up to O(logN)) are updates. We have the following protocols that satisfy our goal in dynamic environments.
Table 1 Overview of NKN Protocol Definition
Figure 4 NKN node-join protocol flow chart
Figure 5 NKN node-exit protocol flow chart
Proof of Relay (PoR)
One of the key problems in NKN is to prove how much data a node relayed, which we define as Proof of Relay (PoR). PoR is crucial to the NKN as the amount of data being relayed is directly related to token rewards. An ideal proof should satisfy the following conditions:
 1. verifiable: anyone, involved in data transmission or not, is able to verify the proof correctly using only public information;
 2. unforgeable: no party, unless controlled all involved nodes, is able to forge a valid proof with nontrivial probability;
 3. untamperable: no party, unless controlled all involved nodes, is able to modify a valid proof with nontrivial probability.
Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum mining, PoR is a useful proof of work: mining the data samples under transmission in an active channel. NKN achieve this by using a particular chain of signature. To improve efficiency, we use the hash of the chain to randomly select proofs in an uncontrollable but verifiable way. Moreover, we select a class of proofs that is proven to be hard to forge even for a large malicious party that has controlled a significant portion of all nodes in the network to be eligible for other benefits such as mining rewards.
One of the primary functions of the NKN is to transmit data. To be transparent to higher level applications, NKN works with network packets. Packet originates from source which can be either node or client, then relayed by relayers which can only be nodes, and finally arrives at destination which can be either node or client. The basic transmission unit in NKN is the NKN packet. The fields of a NKN packet are shown in Table 2.
Table 2 Summary of NKN Packet Fields
As can be seen from Table 2, the signature chain is part of the NKN packet and is the part of the NKN packet that may be on chain. The signature chain is a signature chain that the relay node signs in turn when forwarding the NKN packet, as shown in Figure 6. Each element in the signature chain consists of the following fields: the NKN address and public key of the relay node, the NKN address of the next relay node, and the signature(signature of the previous element on chain, relayer NKN address, next relayer NKN address) signed with relayer private key.
Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the signature chain structure
As illustrated in Figure 6, the essential feature of a signature chain is its verifiability. A signature chain is valid if and only if for each element on chain, the following conditions are satisfied:
 - The relayer NKN address matches the next relayer NKN address of the previous element.
 - The signature field is valid.
Any modifications to a signed NKN packet except the payload will invalidate the signature chain unless re-signed. Thus, a signature chain is verifiable to anyone who has access to the NKN packet (no need for the payload). A malicious party cannot tamper with or forge a signature chain without having all the private keys along the route.
A NKN packet is valid if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:
 1. Payload

What's the difference between long and short grain rice? And what is medium rice?
Can you use the different types interchangeably? Does size even matter?
Rice can be confusing. Not only are there grain sizes to contend with, but there are colors, varieties, and types to sort through. According to the USA Rice Federation, there are more than 120,000 varieties of rice worldwide!
Here's a basic rice primer, so you can learn when to use a long grain, or when to stick to short.
Long grain rice tends to separate when cooked. That means your rice will fall apart, rather than stick together. Use long grain rice when you are making dishes that call for separate, loose grains, such as pilafs. It also has a firmer, dryer texture and feel in the mouth.
Chinese restaurants usually serve a side order of long grain rice with the food. So if you hate trying to pick up those grains individually with chopsticks, you might decide to use a shorter, stickier rice instead, to serve with your stir fry.
Medium grain rice is more likely to stick together. The grains are softer and moister than long grain rice when cooked. This type of rice is the preferred type in Hawaii, where the mix of cultures enjoys rice with every meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks!
Yes, we really do eat rice for snacks. One of the most popular local foods is musubi, a ball of cooked rice, wrapped in nori, or seaweed "paper." Often these will have a slice of fried Spam luncheon meat on top.
Calrose rice, a variety grown in California, is a medium grain rice. This is the type to get if you want a bland, clean taste.
Short grain rice is the most sticky and soft. The grains have a bit of chewiness to them. The extra starch in them gives them these properties.
Specialty rice types
One famous type of medium grain rice is Arborio, used to make Italian risotto. The starch thickens the liquid as it cooks, creating a creamy texture that gives the dish its signature style. You can substitute other short or medium grain rice, but never long grain rice, and get a similar finished product.
Sushi is made with short or medium grain rice. This is another of the exceptions to the substitution rule. You cannot substitute long grain rice when making sushi, or everything will just fall apart and not feel right in the mouth.
For the most part, if you are just making a pot of rice, or you run out of one kind of rice or another, you can relax. The different types can be substituted equally in most dishes, without ruining them. There are a few exceptions to the rule, however.
Use a short or medium grain for sushi, risotto, rice pudding, and molded rice dishes. Use medium grain for paella. Use long grain for pilafs.
Use glutinous or sticky rice to make rice cakes, or mochi. Use black glutinous rice to make Malaysian sticky black rice pudding. Use Thai sticky rice for sticky rice with coconut milk and mango, or to eat with Thai food, like those in the northern parts of Thailand, and Laos, do.
What rice to use for fried rice?
Any type can be used, but most commonly, white rice is used. It is usually kept in the refrigerator, or left out for a day, which dries the rice a bit. Otherwise, if you use fresh rice, you get a steamy, soggy mess.

Studies on some raw material characteristics in different Swedish apple varieties
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: Journal of Food Engineering
Some raw material characteristics were evaluated in three apple varieties cultivated in Southern Sweden, namely Kim, Mutsu and Jonagold. The study was undertaken to collect information in order to identify the effects of initial tissue properties on mass transport phenomena in general, and osmotic processing responses in particular. The texture profile analysis revealed cortex anisotropy of the three apple varieties studied. The porosity and bulk density varied depending on the sampling location within the apple. More specifically, in each variety the bulk density increased by about 10% on going from the skin to the core of the apple, while the porosity decreased by about 50-60% from the skin to the core of the apple. Experiments to evaluate the tissue pore accessibility, performed by immersion in apple juice, showed that for the agitation levels used in osmotic processing the Kim apple variety had the lowest pore accessibility. Following a simple analysis of the pore accessibility experiments it was inferred that, irrespective of the dominating mechanism driving the osmotic medium into the pores of apple tissue, the pore penetration of the osmotic medium alone cannot explain the extent and the speed of solids uptake during osmotic processing.

Well, summer is officially behind us. The first day of autumn was Monday, September 22 which was a beautiful day. Sunny and warm temperatures allowed the farmers to get back into the fields after rain showers on Sunday.
Fall also arrived without any major frosts being reported in the area. The mercury dropped to near freezing on August 23 and on September 14 it dipped again to zero but left no damaging effects.
The first "killing" frost of the year came on September 24 when the low registered was -1.5°C. Andrew Giraudier, who records the daily temperatures for Environment Canada said that the average date for first frost, using data collected over the past 34 years, is September 20.
We got a full 10 days more of frost free weather over last year when Jack Frost put a frosty end to many gardens in the area with an overnight low of -8.5°C. Giraudier also noted that the recorded temperatures could vary slightly around town with different elevations that are present within the town of Coronach.

Is it made of earth or brick? Â This is a common distinction in the world of wood-fired ovens and comes with a whole slew of assumptions. Â "Earth ovens are cheaper, easier to build but less durable." Â "Brick ovens are expensive, harder to build but more professional and will last longer." Â The oven build documented below is an exploration of the combination of these techniques to leverage the advantages of each. Â We use earth where its sculptural quality allows us to perfectly mold it to the shape that we desire. Â We use brick where it will give a good durable surface for cooking and in the entrance way to withstand the abuse of heated and passionate cooking. Â The bookÂ Build Your Own Earth Oven provides further reference for these techniques.

Tree Spinach
Tree spinach (Chenopodium giganteum), also known as Purple Goosefoot or Magenta Spreen, is a large leafy annual, which can grow up to 2 metres tall, living up to its 'tree' nickname.
Originating from India, and commonplace in Mexico, tree spinach happily grows in the UK, and is a relative of amaranth and quinoa.
The younger leaves and growing tips, which are splashed with vivid pink, can be eaten raw in salads and larger leaves can be cooked as spinach. Cooked it tastes similar to spinach, with a nuttier taste, and some people say with a hint of asparagus. Cook as you would spinach: either steam for a few minutes, or sautee with a splash of oil (and salt and pepper) or with melted butter.
It can also be substituted for greens in many recipes. These patties sound good.

The plant has edible seeds which can apparently be cooked or ground into flour, perhaps an experiment for us in the future!

A new research program launched by the FINRA Foundation and the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) has shown that repeated exposure to fraud awareness education can lower a person's susceptibility to investment fraud.
The study "Can Educational Interventions Reduce Susceptibility to Financial Fraud?", which was focused on adults in the United States, showed that fraud awareness education can make a person more likely to recognize investment frauds.
The new findings were announced in a FINRA press release in March, 2021.
Repeated exposure might be the key
"These findings underscore the need for repeated exposure to educational resources that enable individuals to make informed choices and help them to recognize, avoid and report financial fraud," says Gerri Walsh, President of the FINRA Foundation. "Practitioners working in this space have been forced to rely on anecdotal evidence when justifying their efforts because until now, very little published research has examined whether educational interventions can meaningfully reduce individuals' susceptibility to financial fraud, whether they discourage investing in general, and whether any positive effects might persist over time."
Is online education the answer?
The study indicates that more online education might be a feasible way of reducing consumers' likelihood of being the victims of investment fraud.
"Our research suggests that short, easily scalable online education programs can meaningfully reduce adults' susceptibility to investment fraud—and that these effects can persist with repeated exposure," says CESR researcher Jeremy Burke.
Does scam awareness make people less interested in investing?
Does awareness of frauds and scams make a person less willing to invest in anything, even in legitimate investment opportunities?
The answer from this study is no, as the project found no evidence that the interventions reduced consumers' interest in investing in legitimate investment opportunities.
A study on 2,000 adults
The study was comprised of 2,000 adults in the United States. The individuals were drawn from the Understanding America Study – a nationally representative survey panel.
The three groups
Each of the 2,000 individuals was randomly assigned to one of three groups.
- The video group
Individuals in the video group were provided with a 3-minute long educational video about five techniques often present in investment frauds.
- The text group
Individuals in the text group was provided with reading materials about techniques often present in investment frauds. This was the same information as in the video, but in a concise text format.
- The control group
Individuals in the control group received no educational materials.
Researchers measured fraud susceptibility in the three groups immediately after the educational intervention (or for the control group: lack of intervention) and then again six months later.
The testing was carried out using investment pitches drawn from real-world investment offers. Legitimate offers were mixed with fraudulent offers.
A second educational intervention
Some of the members of the video group and the text group received a second educational intervention three months after the first one. This was to see if repeated exposure to educational material would have any impact.
Notable findings from the study
- The educational interventions had an immediate positive impact. This was true for both video intervention and text intervention. Both groups displayed a significantly lower willingness to invest in fraudulent offers compared to the control group.
- The impact of the first educational intervention decayed over time.
- Individuals who received a secondary intervention three months after the first one were less likely to invest in fraudulent opportunities at the six-month mark compared to the control group. (Those who received the secondary intervention were 10% less likely to go for the fraudulent opportunities compared to the control group.)
- The educational interventions did not impact the individuals' willingness to invest in legitimate investment offers at the six-month mark.
Cognitive ability and financial literacy are important to benefit from educational intervention
In the study, an individual's cognitive ability and financial literacy was shown to be very important for their ability to benefit from educational interventions.
- Individuals with higher cognitive ability and higher financial literacy disproportionately benefited from the educational interventions.
- Researchers did not see any effect of the interventions for those with low cognitive ability or low financial literacy.
This last point is of course very interesting and also concerning since it highlights how these types of educational interventions (video or text) might not be able to reach individuals in an impactful way when cognitive abilities and/or financial literacy levels are low.
Fraud is more compelling than honest investment opportunities
Another very interesting finding from this study was that despite the effectiveness of the interventions, study participants were still more willing to invest in fraudulent opportunities than legitimate ones. This was true across all treatment conditions. This is likely due to the fact that financial frauds often promise higher returns than honest business opportunities. A contributor factor is that financial frauds often are based on complicated financial instruments. It can, as an example, be very hard to differentiate a fraudulent and an honest forex instrument without knowing extensive knowledge of the forex trading industry.

How to Get Mold Smell Out of Dresser Drawers
Mel Frank
Dressers are a perfect way to store clothing, keeping it safely out of sight yet on hand and quickly accessible. The problem is that these drawers are dark, typically sealed off when closed, and can quickly develop moisture that leads to the development of a musty, moldy odor. To remove the odor, simply treat the drawers with a quick odor removal solution.
Get rid of mold smell with ease.
 1. Place a small dish of baking soda in each drawer. The baking soda is a natural odor absorbant that will also draw any moisture out of the drawers. Let the baking soda sit overnight.
 2. Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. The vinegar is a deodorizing agent and will also kill any mold or mildew growth that is causing the odor.
 3. Spray the vinegar solution into all of the drawers.
 4. Keep the drawers open, and allow the drawers to air out overnight.
 5. Repeat if needed if all odor has not dissipated.

The aim of this study was to determine if infrared thermography can be used as a tool to detect jugular venipuncture in the horse to support United States Equestrian Federation drug administration rule enforcement. This is a blinded, randomized clinical trial, and eight adult Thoroughbreds were used. For each horse, thermographic images of both jugular grooves were obtained by a blinded examiner, prior and subsequent to jugular venipuncture (10-mL sterile saline). Injected sides were randomized, and images were acquired before injection and then 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 36 hours after injection. Horses were maintained in a temperature-regulated stall. Images were reviewed and analyzed with standard thermography software to determine if venipuncture could be detected. Images of treated sites were minimally visibly different from those obtained at baseline or for the control sites. Following image analysis, a significant reduction (P <.05) was identified when mean jugular groove injection site temperature measurements were compared to baseline mean temperature measurements. The greatest observed difference (1.4 ± 0.8°C) was identified at 2 hours after injection. At time points 0.5 hours, 6 hours, and 12 hours, delta T (difference between the mean temperature at each time point and the baseline temperature) was significantly different between the jugular injection site and the control site. Infrared thermography detects a significant change in surface skin temperature from baseline following jugular venipuncture for sterile saline injection. No significant comparable observed changes were identified at the control sites.

Role of local databases for a peripheral discipline in a peripheral country: trials with SocioFakt
Abstract: Some shortcomings of global databases (SSCI, PsycInfo, etc.) are discussed, and some pros and cons for building local psychological databases in peripheral countries are evaluated. The SocioFakt, a local bibliographic database recently developed to cover national needs for secondary information in psychology and related disciplines, is presented. Various decisions on the structure and the format of the database are argued. BiSA, a separate module of the database and standalone software, specifically designed for the purpose of scientometric analysis, is explained. Possible benefits from regional information exchange are stressed, and some prospects for international cooperation are outlined.

Average weather and climate in Philippines
Most of the Philippines have a typical tropical marine climate. So you will find typical hot and humid weather throughout most of the year. From June to September, the country experiences a rainy season. In this period typhoons are common. From October to February, the northeastern monsoon brings cold winds from the north, which creates cool and dry weather. From March to May the Philippines experiences very hot summers. The country's average temperature can range from 25 degrees Celsius – 32 degrees Celsius (78-90° Fahrenheit), with humidity around 77 percent. Highland areas are much cooler, with nighttime temperatures at night dropping to 20 degrees Celsius (68° Fahrenheit).

The Phoenix Park is the most important site for birds in Dublin City. The expanses of semi-natural habitat offer cover, abundant food supplies and nesting sites. Recent surveys recorded seventy two species in the Park throughout the year, of which forty seven are breeding. The park supports twenty eight species of conservation concern in Ireland including four which are red listed. The total number of species found comprises 35% of the total number of species found in Ireland. The greatest density of birds was found in Dublin Zoo where the wild birds share in the food provided to its permanent residents. The lowest density was recorded along Chesterfield Avenue where noise and disturbance makes the area unattractive for birds.
Important features of bird biodiversity in The Phoenix Park include:
- Presence of fourteen species of conservation concern in Europe
- Presence of four species of bird under threat in Ireland. These are the Shoveller, Golden Plover, Black Headed Gull, and Herring Gull
- Presence of seventeen Amber listed species of medium conservation concern in Ireland. They include Tufted Duck, Coot, Stock Dove, Skylark and Swallow
- Breeding Kestrel and breeding Skylark. It is remarkable to find Skylark so near the city centre
- Presence of Jay and Stock Dove associated with woodlands. These species are an indicator of good old woodlands.
The Phoenix Park is an important site for bats in Dublin as its lakes, ponds, woodlands and grasslands support significant numbers of insects on which they feed, whilst buildings and old trees provide numerous roosting sites. At dusk, bats can be easily seen foraging over the lakes and ponds or along the tree lines or woodland rides within the Park. The greatest amount of bat activity is associated with Dublin Zoo.
Important features of bat biodiversity within The Phoenix Park include:
- Six of the ten bat species found in Ireland are present in the park including species of Pipistrelle not previously recorded in Dublin City. Natterers' and Whiskered Bats are also present.
- Evidence for large roosts at several locations (chimney in St Mary's Hospital Complex, Ordnance Survey Ireland, west of Dublin Zoo).
- Minor roosts in The Cooley Chapel in St Mary's Hospital Complex, The Park Superintendents Lodge and Magazine Fort.
Half of all species of terrestrial mammals found in Ireland can also be found in The Phoenix Park. They are principally found at the western end which is bounded by Farmleigh and Mount Sackville. Hares and red squirrel were present in the recent past but the former were disturbed by dogs and the latter have disappeared through competition with the grey squirrel.
Important features of mammal biodiversity in The Phoenix Park include:
- The established herd of 400-450 fallow deer descend from the original herd introduced in the 1660s.
- The presence of over 20 badger setts which are occupied by at least six social groups. They are concentrated around the edges of the Park. Badgers forage in grasslands and signs of digging for earthworms provide evidence of their presence.
- Other animals abundantly present in the Park include foxes, hedgehogs, rabbits, pygmy shrew, house mice, wood mice and brown rats.
A long established tradition of the use of the Park to support research on mammals and particularly deer. As a result staff, residents and visitors are very aware of mammals and there is considerable baseline data on the status of this group of animals.

Offshore Banking Unit (OBU)
What it is:
An offshore banking unit is a bank branch in another country.
How it works (Example):
Why it Matters:
OBUs are common in the Caribbean and Asia but are found all over the world. They are far less restricted in terms of their allowed activities because they usually are not subject to many of the financial regulations of the country in which they are located. For this reason, investors may be able to obtain better interest rates from OBUs and they may be able to avoid taxation or retain privacy by moving to an OBU. Secrecy, however, is not guaranteed.
