A Langmuir multi-probe system for the characterization of atmospheric pressure arc plasmas
The 'high-pressure' atmospheric (TIG) arc plasma is studied by means of a multi-Langmuir probe system. In order to determine the appropriate regime of operation, definitions of the plasma parameters for the description of the argon arc are considered and evaluations are presented. A description of the probe basic techniques is followed by an in-depth discussion of the different regimes of probe operation. The emphasis is put on atmospheric and flowing (arc) regimes. Probe sheath theories are compared and "Nonidealities" like cooling due to plasma-probe motion and probe emission mechanisms are then described. The extensive literature review reveals that the existing probe theories are inappropriate for a use in the TIG arc, because of 'high' pressure (atmospheric), broad range of ionization across the arc, flowing conditions, and ultimately, to the uncertainty about onset of Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium. The Langmuir probe system is built to operate in floating and biased conditions. The present work represents the first extensive investigation of electrostatic probes in arcs where the experimental difficulties and the primary observed quantities are presented in great detail. Analysis methodologies are introduced and experimental results are presented towards a unified picture of the resulting arc structure by comparison with data from emission spectroscopy. Results from different measurements are presented and comparison is made with data on TIG arcs present in literature. Probe obtained temperatures are lower than the values obtained from emission spectroscopy and this 'cooling' is attributed to electron-ion recombination. However, it is believed that probes can access temperatures regions not attainable by emission spectroscopy. Only axial electric potential and electric field are obtained because of the equipotential-probe requirement. Estimations of the sheath voltage and extension are obtained and a qualitative picture of the ion and electron current densities within the arc is given.

Physiological activity in an attribute learning task.
J.H. de Swart, E.A. Das-Smaal
Research output: Contribution to JournalArticleAcademicpeer-review
85 Downloads (Pure)
The relationship between the amount of information processing in an Attribute Learning task and autonomic activity, measured by skin conductance response (SCR), was investigated. The amount of information processing was manipulated by type of concept and feedback. Furthermore, the influence of practice and verbalization was studied. Three types of concepts were used: conjunction, exclusion and joint denial. The stimulus population consisted of four three-valued dimensions. The results showed that (1) SCR did not differ among concepts; (2) SCR varied with type of feedback, it being smallest at blanks and largest at infirming feedback; (3) SC'R was related to the number of confirmations preceding infirmation; (4) subjects mainly used the strategy'reject hypothesis only after information'; (5) subjects usually selected not-yet-tested hypotheses; (6) practice influenced performance; (7) verbalization did not result in more efficient use of information; however, the appropriateness of the experimental set-up to study this factor was questioned; (8) conjunction was easier to learn than the other concepts. The results were discussed in terms of uncertainty reduction, resulting from testing hypotheses in a concept learning task.

Maintenance costs will vary greatly depending on the type
of trail, amount of volunteer labor use, available services, and geographic
location of the trail. These costs, however, must be considered during the
trail planning process, to ensure that trail owners can pay for the ongoing
maintenance of the trails they develop.
Maintenance costs are rarely broken down into specific
tasks such as those listed in Table 7-1. Most trails
will be maintained by an existing agency, such as a local or state park,
public works, or maintenance department. Estimated costs, therefore, are
broken down by the type of maintenance performed. There are three basic types
- Routine maintenance includes all the general activities -- such as brush
clearing, trash collection, and sweeping that may take place on a
regular basis throughout a season.
- Minor Repairs refer to activities that can be expected every five years
or so, such as amenity replacement, trail sealcoating, repainting, or restriping.
- Major Reconstruction refers to significant expenditures involving resurfacing
or reconstruction. These activities are the most costly trail maintenance
activities and should be planned for in advance.
Most of the routine maintenance of a trail facility will
be performed by an existing agency or a volunteer group. Local trail owners
should be well equipped to include trail maintenance into their parks or
public works maintenance budgets and activities. Activities that should be
considered as routine maintenance include:
- Yearly facility evaluation to determine the need for minor
- Tree/brush clearing
- Map/signage updates
- Trash removal/litter clean-up
- Repair flood damage: silt clean-up, culvert clean-out, etc.
- Patching, minor regrading, or concrete panel replacement
- Snow grooming and/or plowing for winter-use trails
- Planting, pruning, and general beautification
- Installation and removal of seasonal signage
The yearly cost for routine maintenance depends on the
maintenance capabilities already in place by the trail owner and the amount
of volunteer labor used. In general, yearly routine maintenance costs can
be estimated at $1,500 per mile. This figure assumes a single season trail,
and may increase if a trail is groomed or plowed for winter use. This cost
is estimated in year 2000 dollars, and will be affected by inflation. For
a discussion on inflation, see Chapter 5: Cost Analysis.
The need for minor repairs should be determined by a yearly
facility evaluation (see routine maintenance above). Minor repairs may include
the following activities:
- Replacement, repair, or repainting of trail support amenities, such as
restrooms, signage, benches, trash receptacles, or hitching posts
- Replacement of a portion of the trail
- Restriping of trails
- Sealcoating of asphalt trails
The cost for replacement, repair, or repainting of trail
amenities is based on the initial cost of those amenities. Trail operators
should maintain records of the general costs of trail amenities as a means
of estimating future repair and replacement costs. If custom elements, such
as lighting, decorative railings, or benches, are used in trail design, the
trail owner should consider ordering extra elements at the time of construction
and storing them for future use, thereby defraying the cost of single-runs
Replacement of a portion of a trail may be necessary if
severe flooding, continual erosion, or weak soils cause periodic difficulties
with trail maintenance. For estimated costs for new trail construction, see
Chapter 5: Cost Analysis.
Restriping of trails will cost the same (in year 2000 dollars)
as the original striping. The trail owner should keep a record of the original
bid to determine the price of restriping a trail using contracted labor.
In many cases, it is cost effective to perform restriping along with other
trail or highway maintenance. In such instances, the trail owner itself will
be the best source of costing information.
Sealcoating of asphalt trails should take place approximately
every five years. This will increase the longevity of the trail and provide
a quality riding surface. When performed, sealcoating will cost approximately
$3,500 per mile for a 6-foot pedestrian trail and approximately $5,800 per
mile for a 10-foot multi-use trail. A periodic cost such as this should be
included in the trail owners Capital Improvement Program, in order
to ensure that adequate funding is available.
There are essentially two activities that are considered
to be major reconstructions:
- Resurfacing of asphalt trails
- Complete replacement, regrading, and resurfacing of all trails
Asphalt trails will need to be resurfaced approximately
every 10 years, depending on how well they have been maintained. A resurfacing
typically involves placing an asphalt overlay on an existing asphalt surface
in order to erase cracks and bumps. It is not a perfect solution, as weak
underlying soils or tree root penetration will eventually affect this top
layer, but it does offer a lower cost means of extending a trails life.
The cost for resurfacing can be based on unit costs shown in Chapter
5: Cost Analysis. Asphalt surfacing costs approximately $1 per square
foot for a 4-inch depth. Asphalt overlays should have a depth of 1 to 2 inches.
Table 7-2 offers some sample costs for asphalt resurfacing.

text: Introduction: Our tertiary care institution embarked on the Choosing Wisely campaign to reduce unnecessary testing, and selected the reduction of ankle x-rays as part of its top five priority initiatives. The Low Risk Ankle Rule (LRAR), an evidence-based decision rule, has been derived and validated to clinically evaluate ankle injuries which do not require radiography. The LRAR, is cost-effective, has 100% sensitivity for clinically important ankle injuries and reduces ankle imaging rates by 30-60% in both academic and community setting. Our objective was to significantly reduce the proportion of ankle x-rays ordered for acute ankle injuries presenting to our pediatric Emergency Department (ED). Methods: Medical records were reviewed for all patients presenting to our tertiary care pediatric ED (ages 3- 18 years) with an isolated acute ankle injury from Jan 1, 2016-Sept 30, 2016. Children with outside imaging, an injury that occurred >72 hours prior, or those who had a repeat ED visit for same injury were excluded. Quality improvement (QI) initiatives included multidisciplinary staff education about the LRAR, posters placed within the ED highlighting the LRAR, development of a new diagnostic imaging requisition for ankle x-rays requiring use of the LRAR and collaboration with the Division of Radiology to ensure compliance with new requisition. The proportion of patients presenting to the ED with acute ankle injuries who received x-rays was measured. ED length of stay (LOS), return visits to the ED and orthopedic referrals were collected as balancing measures. Results: At baseline 88% of patients with acute ankle injuries received x-rays. Following our multiple interventions, the proportion of x-rays decreased significantly to 54%, (p<0.001). This decrease in x-ray rate was not associated with an increase in ED LOS, ED return visits or orthopedic referrals. There was an increase uptake of the dedicated x-ray requisition over time to 71%. Conclusion: This QI initiative to increase uptake of the LRAR, resulted in a significant reduction of ankle x-rays rates for children presenting with acute ankle injuries in our pediatric ED without increasing LOS, return visits or need for orthopedic referrals for missed injuries. Just as in the derivation and validation studies, the reductions have been sustained and reduced unnecessary testing and ionizing radiation.

Mouse cursors let you simulate mouse movements in your Articulate Storyline courses. They're great for software training and simulations.
Choose from a gallery of cursor styles. Add sounds and visual effects. Control the path, timing, and speed of mouse movements. You're in command.
- Adding Mouse Cursors
- Changing Cursor Styles
- Adding Mouse-Clicking Sounds
- Adding Visual Click Effects
- Changing the Path of Mouse Movements
- Changing the Timing and Speed of Mouse Movements
There are two ways to add mouse cursors to a project.
- Storyline automatically adds mouse cursors to screen recordings when you insert them as step-by-step slides. You can adjust mouse cursor styles, effects, paths, timings, and speeds. (See the following sections for details.)
- You can also add mouse cursors manually, just where you need them.
To add a mouse cursor manually, go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click Mouse, and choose a cursor style. It'll automatically appear on your slide.
Tip: Only one mouse cursor can be added to each slide, and it must be added to the base layer of the slide. Mouse cursors aren't supported on layers or slide masters.
To change the style of a cursor, select the mouse object on the slide, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and choose a different style from the Cursors gallery.
Want to use your own cursor image? Just click Browse for Cursors at the bottom of the Cursors gallery, then select a file on your computer with a *.cur or *.ani extension.
When the mouse reaches the end of its path, it can play a single-click or double-click sound, or you can omit the clicking sound altogether.
Select the mouse object on the slide, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and click None, Single, or Double.
To show an animated click effect at the end of a mouse movement, go to the Format tab on the ribbon and mark the box to Show Click Effects. Uncheck it if you don't want to simulate a mouse click.
Choose the direction of the mouse movement and whether its path is curved or straight.
- Select the mouse object on the slide. When a mouse object is selected, you'll see its path represented by a black line.
- Go to the Format tab on the ribbon and mark the Straight Pointer Path box to make the mouse move in a straight line. Uncheck it to move the mouse in a curved line.
- To set the direction of a mouse cursor's motion, use the Enter From selector to choose an entrance point.
Tip: If the Enter From selector is grayed-out, it's because the direction of the mouse movement is already determined by the previous slide. When you have consecutive slides with mouse cursors, the end point of the first will be the beginning point of the next.
A mouse cursor is visible for the entire duration of a slide. However, you can change when its movement starts and ends. You can also make it slow down before the end of its path.
- Select the mouse object in the timeline.
- Drag its left edge along the timeline to adjust when its movement begins. Drag its right edge along the timeline to adjust when its movement ends.
- Unlike other Storyline objects, the beginning and ending of a cursor's movement is controlled by the timeline, not the appearance and disappearance of the cursor itself.
- By adjusting the timing of a cursor's movement, you're also controlling its speed. A shorter duration results in a faster motion, and a longer duration results in a slower motion.
- If you want the mouse movement to slow down just before the end of its path, go to the Format tab on the ribbon and mark the box to Reduce Speed Before Click.

 - Authentication requests should only be made through external user agents, such as the browser. This results in better security, and enables use of the user's current authentication state, making single sign-on possible. Conversely, this means that authentication requests should never be made through a WebView. WebView controls are unsafe for third parties, as they leave the authorization grant and user's credentials vulnerable to recording or malicious use. In addition, WebView controls don't share authentication state, meaning single sign-on isn't possible.
 - Native apps must request user authorization by creating a URI with the appropriate grant types. The app then redirects the user to this request URI. A redirect URI that the native app can receive and parse must also be supplied.
 - Native apps must use the Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) protocol, to defend against apps on the same device potentially intercepting the authorization code.
 - Native apps should use the authorization code grant flow with PKCE. Conversely, native apps shouldn't use the implicit grant flow.
 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks should be migitated by using the state parameter to link requests and responses.
Ultimately, the OAuth 2.0 authentication flow for native apps becomes:
 1. The native app opens a browser tab with the authorisation request.
 2. The authorisation endpoint receives the authorisation request, authenticates the user, and obtains authorisation.
 3. The authorisation server issues an authoration code to the redirect URI.
 4. The native app receives the authorisation code from the redirect URI.
 5. The native app presents the authorisation code at the token endpoint.
 6. The token endpoint validates the authorization code and issues the requested tokens.
I'd previously written a Xamarin.Forms sample to do this without any additional libraries, and one with the IdentityModel.OidcClient2 library, which is OpenID certified. Both samples consume endpoints on a publically available IdentityServer site, and use platform code to invoke native browsers.
Enter Xamarin.Essentials
Xamarin.Essentials recently introduced a WebAuthenticator class, which is a web navigation API that can be used for authentication with web services. The class contains a single method, AuthenticateAsync, which starts an authentication flow by navigating to a specified URI, and then waits for a callback/redirect to the redirect URI scheme. The whole point of the class is that it avoids having to write platform code to invoke native browsers. For more information, see the WebAuthenticator doc.
I decided to test drive WebAuthenticator by using it to initate an authentication flow with IdentityServer. However, an authentication flow from a mobile app should include a web backend between the mobile app and the authentication provider. This is to avoid including client secrets in your mobile app, which is considered to be insecure. However, I've avoided a web backend as middleware here, as I just want to see what's involved in authenticating with IdentityServer using the WebAuthenticator class.
However, before you can use WebAuthenticator to authenticate with IdentityServer, you first have to perform some platform specific setup.
Platform setup
On Android, you require an IntentFilter to handle your redirect URI. This can be accomplished by subclassing the Xamarin.Essentials WebAuthenticatorCallbackActivity class:
[Activity(NoHistory = true, LaunchMode = LaunchMode.SingleTop)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Intent.ActionView},
 Categories = new[] { Intent.CategoryDefault, Intent.CategoryBrowsable},
 DataScheme = "io.identitymodel.native",
 DataHost = "callback")]
public class WebAuthenticationCallbackActivity : WebAuthenticatorCallbackActivity
You'll also need to overide the OnResume method in your MainActivity class, to call back into Xamarin.Essentials:
protected override void OnResume()
On iOS, you'll need to add your app's redirect URI to your Info.plist file:
You'll also need to overide the OpenUrl method in your AppDelegate class, to call back into Xamarin.Essentials:
 if (Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OpenUrl(app, url, options))
 return true;
 return base.OpenUrl(app, url, options);
On UWP, you need to declare your redirect URI in your Package.appxmanifest file:

Start an authentication flow with WebAuthenticator
An authentication flow with IdentityServer can be started by creating the start URI, and passing it to the AuthenticateAsync method along with the redirect URI:
string url = identityService.CreateAuthorizationRequest();
var authResult = await WebAuthenticator.AuthenticateAsync(new Uri(url), new Uri(Constants.RedirectUri));
If you aren't familiar with the process of building an authorization request to IdentityServer, I recommend you look at the IdentityService class in the sample. It involves creating a long query string that contains data that indicates to IdentityServer what kind of authentication flow to kick off.
The AuthenticateAsync method returns a WebAuthenticatorResult object, which contains a number of properties, such as AccessToken, and RefreshToken. More importantly, it has a Properties dictionary that contains all of the query string or URI fragment properties, that can then be accessed by their key. Therefore, the Properties dictionary can be parsed to build the raw response sent by IdentityServer:
string raw = ParseAuthenticatorResult(authResult);
authorizeResponse = new AuthorizeResponse(raw);
string ParseAuthenticatorResult(WebAuthenticatorResult result)
 string code = result?.Properties["code"];
 string idToken = result?.IdToken;
 string scope = result?.Properties["scope"];
 string state = result?.Properties["state"];
 string sessionState = result?.Properties["session_state"];
 return $"{Constants.RedirectUri}_TAG_={code}&id_token={idToken}&scope={scope}&state={state}&session_state={sessionState}";
The result of a successful authentication flow is that the AuthorizeResponse object contains an authorization code, that can then be exchanged for the requested tokens:
UserToken userToken = await identityService.GetTokenAsync(authorizeResponse.Code);
If the UserToken object contains an access token, it can be used when making API calls to IdentityServer:
var content = await identityService.GetAsync($"{Constants.ApiUri}test", userToken.AccessToken);
Wrapping up
Although there's a lot going on here, in terms of generating the start URI, and processing the response from the redirect URI, using the WebAuthenticator class has avoided having to write platform code to invoke native browsers. This can be a considerable amount of work, depending on the platform, and it can also be confusing if you aren't familiar with the intricacies of each platform.
I've deliberately left out a lot of code from this blog post, which generates the queries to send to IdentityServer. This is because my aim wasn't to cover the intricacies of IdentityServer, but instead how to initiate an authentication flow with WebAuthenticator, and how to process its response. I also said that all of this is simple, but it's only simple if you have a good understanding of the OAuth 2.0 spec. If you don't, it can be overwhelming. Therefore, in my next blog post I'll look at simplifying all of this by using the IdentityModel.OidcClient library.
The sample this code comes from can be found on GitHub.

How much will an AME consultation cost?
Charges for meetings with AME educators are typically less than expert witness fees. The hourly fee ranges from $350 to $500 per hour (billed on 15 minute units).
What other costs are there?
If the AME educator travels to your location, there will be travel and modest hourly-fee charges A retainer may be requested. In some circumstances there may be supply costs for the teaching sessions – these will be rare and very modest.
How do I meet the AME educator?
There are various ways you can meet with the educator – in person, by phone or on-line. You are welcome to travel to meet the educator, or to ask them to visit you. Having the educator travel to you may incur other costs, including a predetermined travel-time charge, travel, and room and board costs. In some cases, when an educator travels to your location, a retainer is required.
Can I approve the AME educator before the meeting?
Yes. You will be given the CV of the AME educator before your first meeting. If you are not satisfied with their background, you can ask for a different educator.
Can I change AME educators?
Yes. If you are not fully satisfied with your engagements with the AME educator, you can request a new educator. You will be able to review their CV before your first meeting.
How long will the AME engagement last?
The short answer is half a day. This has been the experience of AME founder Dr. William Rosenblatt. Of course you are welcome to engage the AME educator for as long as you wish.
What will the AME educator and I do during our meeting?
Each AME educator has a different teaching style, just as each field of medicine may warrant different teaching techniques. The educator may elect to hold discussions with you, may use graphic and video teaching aids, or even include whole body simulation and biological specimens.
Can I discuss the specifics of a case with the AME educator?
Yes, but only after both parties are satisfied that the goal of attorney education in the relevant field has been met.
Is the AME educator the same as an expert witness?
No. AME is not an expert witness service. The AME educator is there to teach you the relevant science, standards and jargon of the medical field specific to your case.
What if I like the AME educator and want to use them as an expert witness?
If you feel that your AME educator would be a good expert witness for your case, you are welcome to solicit their participation. Any expert witness work by the AME educator should be invoiced between you and the individual doctor, and is outside the scope of AME.
Can I bring case files with me?
Though we discourage your bringing case files with you, you can discuss case specifics after both parties are satisfied with the education session. The time spent discussing the case will be added to your AME fees. If you engage the AME educator for later expert witness work, you should arrange billing directly with the physician, outside of AME.
Can I have someone else with me and will this incur a charge?
Yes and no. You are welcome to bring along a partner, paralegal or other staff – as many as you wish. Because you are paying for the AME educator's time, there is no extra charge. Be aware, however, that the more people you bring, the more dilute the in-person experience will be. In the past we have found that four or five persons is the maximum for a great experience.
How do I pay for the AME engagement?
You will be billed directly from AME. There is no need to pay the educator. Payments are due in 90 days.
Is there a minimum charge for the AME engagement?
Yes. You will be charged for a minimum of four (4) hours. But because we want you to be satisfied with our service, we will invite you to re-meet, call or otherwise engage the AME educator if you and the educator do not require the minimum time on the first meeting. Only after the minimum of four hours of education time is satisfied will you be further charged.
I am a defense attorney, and my client can teach me what I need to know about his/her field of medicine. Why do I need AME?
AME educators are independent, objective and expert. Even in the best of circumstances, your client is likely to be biased towards his or her own practice. The client may not be objective in evaluating the claims against him or her.
An insurance company may not agree to engage a non-witness educator onto the case. How do I convince them otherwise?
The insurer wants you to win this case. AME arms you with expert knowledge that will not only help you in examinations, but also reduce expert-witness expenses by bringing your understanding of the case up to par with the expert. AME educator fees are typically lower than expert witness fees.
I have an expert witness who can teach me the science, jargon and standards I need to know.
Many physicians in the prime of their practice and the at the top of their field don't enjoy medical malpractice work, and hence don't make themselves available as expert witnesses. Because attorney education does not involve issues of litigation, the best doctors in the country are more willing to participate.

Smoke from moorland wildfires may hold toxic blast from the past | Innovation Tech
THE UK's largest wildfire for decades is almost under control after blazing for a week during the country's longest heat wave since 1976. But with no rain forecast for at least a week, peat burning underground at Saddleworth Moor near Manchester could continue to smoulder, generating hazardous smoke. The same could happen on moorland at Winter Hill (pictured), 50 kilometres away, which burned for five days before being put out.
Fire chiefs tackling the Saddleworth blaze say it has consumed up to 20 square kilometres of moor and scrubland. Although surface fires are all but out, peat below ground continues to smoulder and can only be completely extinguished with a two or three-day downpour. "Without rain, it's very difficult to put out," says Hugh Coe, a professor of atmospheric composition at the University of Manchester.
As it continues to smoulder and burn, the peat reignites sporadic surface fires, and spews potentially hazardous smoke. "The worst hazard is the small-particulate matter, which exacerbates lung problems, asthma, allergy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder," says Coe. Burning peat debris also gets coated with cancer-causing chemicals called polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
But because of extensive toxic fallout from factories a century ago, there could be other hazards. "There's 100 years' of pollution buried along with the peat as it formed," says Coe. This could mean that toxic heavy metals such as lead and cadmium are taking to the air in fly ash.

6825 mammograms from our mammography image database were segmented to find the breast outline. The outlines were averaged and smoothed to produce an average outline for each laterality and radiographic projection.
Lesions in 3304 mammograms with malignant findings were mapped on to a standardised breast image corresponding to the average breast outline using piecewise affine transforms. A four dimensional probability distribution function was found from the lesion locations in the cranio-caudal and medio-lateral radiographic projections for calcification and noncalcification lesions. Lesion locations sampled from this probability distribution function were mapped on to individual mammograms using a piecewise affine transform which transforms the average outline to the outline of the breast in the mammogram.
The four dimensional probability distribution function was validated by comparing it to the two dimensional distributions found by considering each radiographic projection and laterality independently. The correlation of the location of the lesions sampled from the four dimensional probability distribution function across radiographic projections was shown to match the correlation of the locations of the original mapped lesion locations.


Berry gilt strips tax avoidance arrangement fails on appeal to the Upper Tribunal
15 April 2011. Published by Adam Craggs, Partner
The Upper Tribunal (Lewison J) ('UT') has dismissed the taxpayer's appeal against the First-tier Tribunal's ('FTT') decision that he was not entitled to relief for losses suffered as a result of a gilt strip tax planning arrangement – Berry v HMRC [2011] UKUT 81.
The UT, applying the Ramsay principle, determined that the word "loss" in the context of the relevant discounted securities legislation (paragraph 14A, Schedule 13, Finance Act 1996 now sections 427 to 460, Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005) meant a real loss, that is, a loss that arose from real commercial outcomes. In reaching his conclusion, Lewison J noted that there is a general expectation that when Parliament uses a word like "loss" it means a commercial loss but that that expectation can be displaced by the express terms of the statute (for example, by an algebraic or artificial approach to quantifying the loss). The UT also determined that the FTT had made no error in law in treating all the steps in the transaction as a single transaction and in disregarding the "anti-Ramsay" device. The FTT's view of the facts was, in the UT's view, a realistic one.

Portis Gold Mine
The Portis Gold Mine, located in the northeastern corner of Franklin County, was the first mine in the Eastern Carolina Belt (composed of Warren, Halifax, Franklin, and Nash Counties) and operated intermittently from about 1835 to 1936. The Portis gold deposit was in the rocks of the Spring Hope Formation in the eastern slate belt. The primary mining method has been identified as "hydraulicking" 15 to 30 feet of surface material, but recovery was hampered by the region's sticky clay. The total amount of gold mined is unknown. In 1884 the estimate was more than $1 million, and in 1972 one geologist projected that up to $7 million worth of gold was mined in that area.
By the end of the nineteenth century, gold in the Portis mine was difficult to find and there were no profits to be had. The final attempts to extract gold were by the Norlina Mining Company, which brought in heavy mining equipment and constructed an assay lab, a main building for the crushing equipment, a dormitory, a superintendent's house, a blacksmith and machine shop, and a six-million-gallon reservoir for the water required by the gold recovery process. The cost of the mining operation exceeded by one-third the value of the gold recovered, and the mine was closed in 1936.

Not at home? Alexa can greet visitors for you on your Ring doorbell
The benefits of a smart video doorbell are numerous and obvious. When you aren't home, you can still respond to visitors and provide instructions for deliveries. The downside is that you have to be near your phone and not currently busy in order to respond to visitors, so what happens when you're in the middle of an important conversation or driving? Thanks to a new feature called Smart Responses, Alexa can greet visitors for you. Alexa's reach continues to grow beyond just being a voice for Amazon Echo smart speakers and displays.
There are three main Smart Responses: Quick Replies, Alexa Greetings, and Motion Warnings. It's worth pointing out that Alexa Greetings is the only smart response that is Alexa powered.
Quick Replies is a solution for those times when someone shows up at your door and you can't — or you just don't want to — answer. When someone comes to the door, you can choose from six preset responses, including "Please leave the package outside," "Hi, we'll be right there!" or "If you'd like to leave a message, you can do so now." This feature has already begun to roll out and will be available on Ring Video Doorbell models, with the exception of the Ring Video Doorbell Wired.
Alexa greetings turn your doorbell into a sort of smart concierge. It can greet visitors for you and provide contextual responses based on their answer. For example, Alexa might ask if a visitor wants to leave a message or what the purpose of their visit is. If the response includes the word "package," Alexa can ask if the packages require a signature and inform the delivery person where to drop the packages. It's a useful tool for when you're away from home but you still want to leave information for visitors.
One of the Smart Responses, Motion Warnings, acts as a deterrent to anyone with less than honorable intentions. As soon as the doorbell detects motion, it chimes in with the message: "Warning, you are now being monitored and recorded by Ring." It functions in much the same way as a yard sign for a security system. If a potential burglar knows they are being watched, they're more likely to leave.
These new Smart Responses make the Ring lineup of doorbells even more useful, all while adding another layer of intelligence to Alexa's capabilities.

A Qualitative Assessment of African Americans' Knowledge, Attitudes and Beliefs about Hospice Care
In 2010, 1.58 million patients received services from hospice in the United States; of these patients only 8.9% were African American (African Americans make up 12.6% of the US population), compared to 77.3% Caucasians. The purpose of this study was to assess African Americans' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about hospice care. Three 3 focus groups were conducted with a total of 27 people participating (12 males and 15 females).All focus groups were audio taped and transcribed. Transcripts were coded using an apriori coding scheme and entered into an Excel file. Consensus and triangulation methods were used to help investigators assess themes based on strength within and across focus groups. Five major themes emerged: 1) knowledge of hospice 2) attitudes and beliefs 3) decision making process 4) barriers to hospice use and 5) raising awareness about hospice in the African American community. This study supports findings from previous literature that examines the key factors that contribute to the underuse of hospice services by members of the African American community. A new barrier to hospice use, "family discord" also emerged in the focus group discussions In order to overcome hospice barriers the unanimous recommendation is to increase knowledge, awareness and access to culturally appropriate educational materials. Based on the thematic analysis findings, the next step is to develop a culturally tailored hospice photonovel to raise awareness about hospice care among African Americans. An initial meeting has already been conducted with an advisory committee that was formed from participants from the three focus groups. The 1st draft of the phot novel script has been written based on the advisory committee's decisions. Work will continue with the advisory group and funding to be sought for creation and printing of the photonovel.

Best Practices for Using and Maintaining an Orbital Shaker
By Aimee O'Driscoll, 13 June 2018
Using your orbital shaker correctly will ensure you get the best results for your application. What's more, taking care of your machine will help keep it running efficiently and extend its lifespan.
In this post, we reveal best practices for using and maintaining orbital shakers. While the manufacturer's recommendations should always take precedence, the pointers below can serve as general guidelines for most machines.
Using an Orbital Shaker
Whether you're a first-time user or have some experience with orbital shakers, here are some of the main things to think about during setup and use.
Ensure the Shaker is Properly Supported
When in use, orbital shakers can vibrate significantly. Use on an uneven surface could cause damage, especially for heavier machines. You can use a level and adjust the feet accordingly to ensure that the shaker is seated evenly.
Consider Location Carefully
Squeezing a benchtop or floor model shaker into a tight spot isn't a good idea, as you need enough space to ensure good ventilation. You also don't want to place it where it will be exposed to direct sunlight as this can affect temperature controls. This is especially bad for a refrigerated model. Also consider other machines in the vicinity that could be giving off heat.
Load Samples With Care
It may not seem as though it matters that much how you load your samples, but it can actually prolong the working life of the clamps if you use a little care. Simply forcing the sample into the clamp will lower the lifespan of the clamp itself. Plus it risks breaking the vessel. Instead, gently pull the clamp out enough for the vessel to easily be inserted.
Even the Load
Similar to use on an uneven surface, an uneven load can cause the orbital shaker to vibrate. The added vibration could make for increased agitation of the contents which might adversely affect the outcome of the application. An uneven load could also cause asymmetrical wear to the machine and irregular shaking. You don't have to balance an orbital shaker like you might a centrifuge, but keeping the weight distribution in mind is always a good idea.
Build Up the Speed Slowly
Even if you know the exact agitation speed you want to use, it's prudent to start slow and build up. Quickly increasing the speed can result in liquids sloshing instead of achieving the desired swirling motion. This is especially important if dealing with fragile cells, in particular those without a cell wall. Some models, such as the one below, come with a "smooth acceleration" feature which does the job of ramping up the speed gradually for you.
An example of an orbital shaker.
Many Jeio Tech shakers come with smooth acceleration and deceleration.
Keep the Volume Low
While some applications allow for a larger fill volume, in general, a low fill level (around 10-25% of the volume of the flask) allows for optimal mixing. A low volume means a greater relative surface area, maximizing the amount of aeration. Plus, a lower filling volume means you minimize the risk of spillage.
Limit Unnecessary Door Openings
If you're using an incubated or refrigerated shaker, opening the door unnecessarily with have a negative impact on the performance of the machine. Door openings will introduce ambient air and the incubation or refrigeration system will have to work harder to maintain temperature. What's more, the fluctuation in temperature caused, even if brief, could impact the results of your application, especially with samples that are particularly sensitive to temperature.
Don't Overload the Machine
Overloading your orbital shaker can cause damage in the short term or additional wear over time. Manufacturer specifications will tell you the weight limit (maximum capacity) for the machine. This includes the weight of the platforms, clamps, and screws, as well as the samples. Some shakers come with an overload protection shut-off, but this should be considered more of a 'just-in-case' feature. You shouldn't rely on the overload protection shut-off to tell you that you're putting too much weight on your shaker.

Aside from taking care to use your orbital shaker correctly, you also need to think about maintenance of the equipment. Taking care of your machine will keep it in good working order and prolong its lifespan.
Clean Up Spills
Spills will inevitably occur with orbital shaker usage, but it's important not to let liquids get into the mechanisms. Spills can be cleaned as directed by the manufacturer, but 70% ethanol is usually a safe bet. Even if you don't tend to spill, dirt and grime can build up on shakers, so it's good idea to clean and disinfect them regularly. If you can remove the platform, you should do so while cleaning to get to any spills, dirt, or debris underneath. Just make sure it's thoroughly dry before replacing.
Inspect the Belt and Fan
Many shakers operate using a belt-based system. The belt should be inspected periodically for wear and tear. If needed, replacement parts can be ordered from the manufacturer. Similarly, if you shaker has a circulating fan, its operation should be checked regularly too.
Perform Speed Checks
It's easy to assume that if a machine switches on, then it's working correctly. Machines are usually calibrated upon purchase and during servicing, but may need to be checked in between. If the speed isn't accurate, this can obviously throw off the results of your application. You can test the speed accuracy using a calibrated sensor. You might also want to check the accuracy of the temperature (if your shaker is incubated) and the time, and test the alarms too.
Check the Air Filter and Condenser Coil on Refrigerated Models
Many refrigerated shakers have an air filter. This can become a trap for dust and dirt so should be checked regularly, at least every few months. Similarly, in refrigerated shakers, the condenser coil can become covered with dust and dirt from the environment. This will insulate the condenser making heat removal less efficient. You can usually clean the air filter and condenser coils with soap and water and dry thoroughly, unless the manufacturer guide advises differently.
Orbital shakers don't generally require a lot of upkeep. However, if you want to ensure your machine is running as efficiently and for as long as possible, it's worth following the tips above.

A misdialed call or wrong number is a telephone call to an incorrect telephone number. This may occur because the number has been physically misdialled, the number is simply incorrect, or because the area code or ownership of the number has changed. In North America, toll-free numbers are a frequent source of wrong numbers because they often have a history of prior ownership. In the United Kingdom, many misdialled calls have been due to public confusion over the dialling codes for some areas.
The recipient of a wrong number is usually unknown to the caller. This aspect has been used in social science experiments designed to study the willingness of people to help strangers, and the extent to which this is affected by characteristics such as race. This experimental method is known as the "wrong-number technique".
On a landline, wrong numbers are harmless to the recipient other than the annoyance of answering an unwanted call. But on a cellphone, if the plan charges minutes for incoming calls, a wrong number may cost the subscriber one or more minutes.
Sources of misdialled calls are similar to sources of typographical error:
- Pressing one or more wrong keys on the keypad of the phone (example 2379 rather than 2349)
- Pressing a key on the dialpad more times than appears in succession in the phone number, thereby completing the length of the number prior to completing the intended number (example 7522-7 with the final 7 being ignored rather than 7527)
- Getting the digits in the phone number out of order (example 3416 rather than 3146)
Proper telephone etiquette recommends that the wrongly dialled party politely inform the caller of that fact, and also that the caller apologize rather than simply hanging up. Often the two parties will confirm whether or not the intended number is indeed the number that was reached (e.g. "Is this _PHONE_?") before ending the call. It is widely considered "dangerous" for the called party to disclose their phone number — rather it is considered more prudent to require the calling party to state which number he dialled and for the called party to simply confirm whether or not that is his number.

Every time the server is started and for each hour thereafter, a date and time check occurs. An invalid date can be one of the following:
- Earlier than the server installation date and time.
- More than one hour earlier than the last time the date was check
- More than 30 days later than the last time the date was checked.
As a preventive measure, when TSM detects an invalid date or time, server sessions become disabled so that the TSM server does not perform undesired actions based on the new system date/time. For example, expiration processing uses the system date/time to determine when to purge files from server storage.
An error message (ANR0110E) is displayed and expiration, migration, reclamation, and volume history deletion operations are not allowed. You may either change the system date if it is in error, or issue the ACCEPT DATE command to force the server to accept the current system date as valid. Use the ENABLE SESSIONS command after you issue the ACCEPT DATE command to re-enable the server for client node activity.
In order to correct this problem, perform the following commands on the TSM server:
- Run the QUERY STATUS command and check for the availability parameter value, which should say 'disabled'
- Run the ACCEPT DATE command, which tells the TSM Server that you are aware of and accept the date/time change.
- Run the ENABLE SESSIONS command, which re-enables the TSM Server again for normal operations.
- Re-run the QUERY STATUS command and check for the availability parameter value, which should say 'enabled'

I know a Chinese proverbial phrase. Translated literally into English, it says something along the lines of "Sky falls big pancakes". When used negatively in the phrase, "The sky does not fall big pancakes," it is generally used to warn against idleness.
What is the origin of the proverb? Also, I am not really sure if the object is pancakes. It may be a cookie or a flat cake or a flat flour wrap.

天上掉馅饼，means that free and delicious food like pies are falling from the sky. Or its negative form: 天上不会掉馅饼
Nowadays it usually means that people who are lazy are expecting something miracle but impossible will happen to them. For example:
This phrase came from a Chinese myth. After 嫦娥(the lady in the legend who swallowed the elixir stolen from her husband and flew to the moon) went to the moon, 后羿(the man in the legend who shot 9 suns out of 10 and saved the earth from the heat) was very sad and thought about her every day. When 嫦娥 found out his love, she wrote her love on a pie. Because she is on the moon, there came the phrase: 天上掉馅饼

Here is an explain by BaiDuPedia in Chinese:天上掉馅饼本指天空中降落类似馅饼那样的即免费又好吃的食物，泛指在自然生活中会无缘无故的发生一些可以满足人们欲望的物质或财富上面的事情；现在也贬指那些坐享其成，成天不务实际的人在假想一些不可能发生的事情，等待出现奇迹，天上怎么可能会掉馅饼。
馅饼 is a common food in China even today, it may be like a salty pie(I'm sorry, I have not met a pie). You get a 馅饼 from sky rather than you cook it, how lucky! You pay no effort. Thus, 天上掉馅饼 means getting something without effort; 天上不会掉馅饼 warns you that this thing will not happen, that is, you'd better do your best to get something. There is a fable story known by everybody in China <守株待兔>, it gives the same warning.

Relationship between positive-negative affect and performance in a golf competition
The first objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between positive and negative affect at three phases of a golf competition and performance in the competition. The second objective was to investigate the relationship between changes in positive and negative affect during the competition and performance in the competition. Thirty golfers who belonged to university golf clubs participated. The golfers answered the PANAS questionnaire immediately prior to the competition, immediately after the first half 9 holes, and immediately after the latter half 9 holes of the competition. Their performance in the competition was calculated by the mean score of the last 10 rounds of golf minus the score of the competition. Correlation coefficient showed that the performance in the first half 9 holes was significantly related to the positive affect immediately after the first 9 holes (r =.38), and the negative affect immediately after the first 9 holes (r =-.35). In addition, the correlation coefficient between the increased positive affect in the first 9 holes and the performance in the first half 9 holes (r =.46) and that between the increased negative affect in the first 9 holes and the performance in the first half 9 holes (r =-.38) was significant. These findings indicated that the positive and negative affect during a golf competition changed depending on the golfers' performance in the competition.

Traumatic and Complicated Grief Among Children: One or Two Constructs?
The purpose of this study was to examine the concepts of traumatic and complicated grief among children. Some authors seemingly use the concepts interchangeably, whereas others make a distinction between the two. A sample of 240 mainly parentally bereaved children were administered the Extended Grief Inventory (EGI). Two confirmatory factor analyses were run to examine the EGI factor structure and to determine whether traumatic and complicated grief are one or two concepts. Goodness-of-fit tests for the two models was considered acceptable for both models, however, the two-factor model was a better fit. Multiple regression analyses found that children's age, gender, and ethnicity were important predictors of traumatic grief but only gender was a predictor of complicated grief. Violent death was a predictor of complicated grief in an unadjusted regression analysis.

Parish Registration
Registering at St. John's is easy. Just download the registration form below and fill it out. You can drop the completed form off at the parish office Tues.-Fri. between 8am and 4pm or email it to
Membership in a parish and registering at a parish are not the same thing, although they are often spoken of interchangeably. A "parish" consists of a geographical area with clearly defined boundaries, which has its own church or chapel belonging to it and its own pastor administering it. Any Catholic who lives within the physical boundaries of a parish is automatically considered a "member" of that parish for purposes of administering the sacraments. He/she cannot be refused the sacraments by the pastor of the parish in which he/she resides unless the pastor has a valid canonical reason to do so. For example, when a Catholic marries, the pastor of the parish within whose boundaries he/she resides has a responsibility to witness the marriage, unless there is a valid canonical reason for him to refuse (e.g., the person is already validly married to another spouse).
Being registered at a parish is different. One becomes registered at a parish when one fills out a census form, regularly contributes to the parish's finances, or otherwise "signs up" at the parish. Registering is primarily useful for administrative purposes. Keeping a parish registry allows pastors and administrative staff to keep track of who is worshipping at the parish and contributing to the parish's financial needs. However, a pastor is not required to provide "one-time" sacraments, such as marriage or baptism, to a registered person who is not a geographical member of the parish.
Registering at a parish has a lot of great benefits, including having one's contact information on record at the parish and being able to receive important communications, having an established sacramental record, and receiving offertory envelopes, which make it easier to keep track of contributions.
Here are some interesting articles on the historical development of parishes and on the difference between parish membership and registration.


School Employees May Give Insulin Shots to Children With Type 1 Diabetes, California Courts Rules
The California Supreme Court ruled that public school employees may administer insulin shots to diabetic students.
The court found that California law permits trained but unlicensed school employees to administer the shots when a school nurse is unavailable, which is increasingly common in public schools across the state.
The decision settles a legal battle between the parents of diabetic students, backed by the ADA, and the California Nurses Association, which maintains only licensed nurses should be allowed to handle the task in public schools.
The decision reversed an appeals court ruling that found state law does not permit unlicensed school personnel, such as teachers or administrators, to give insulin shots to diabetic public school students.

How Luer and Other Small-Bore Connectors are Used in Clinical Settings
Small-bore connectors are parts used to connect medical devices to tubing and accessories that deliver fluids and gases to patients. Small-bore refers to the small size of the opening of the connector.
One of the most commonly used small-bore connectors are Luer connectors—sometimes called Luer fittings or Luers.
There are two types of Luer connectors: slips and locks. In general, a Luer consists of a tapered "male" tip and wider-tapered "female" sleeve that either slide into one another (a Luer slip) or screw together (a Luer lock) to form a secure, yet detachable, leak-proof connection.
A Luer slip connector (left) and a Luer lock connector (right).

Examples of Medical Devices that Use Connectors
Many different types of medical devices use small-bore connectors including:
- Blood pressure cuffs and other non-invasive blood pressure devices
- Breathing systems such as anesthesia machines and ventilators
- Enteral feeding tubes that deliver liquid nutrients or medicine to the stomach
- Intravenous devices such as intravenous (IV) lines used to deliver nutritional formulas and medicines
- Neuraxial devices, such as epidural catheters, used to deliver medicines to the epidural space
- Urinary tubing, such as catheters, used to empty the bladder
- Vascular access devices used to obtain blood or monitor blood pressure, gas levels and chemical balances inside a patient's body

Austrocedrus chilensis forests suffer a widespread mortality locally known as «mal del ciprés» (cypress disease) whose cause remains controversial. Previous studies suggested Phytophthora austrocedrae as the biotic cause; however, the origin of the mortality is still being studied since there are affected areas not connected with Phytophthora. The soil was proved to be an important factor affecting the disease. The purpose of this article was to study soil chemical properties related to A. chilensis disease. Four sampling sites with A. chilensis dense forests developed on different types of soils were selected in the 16 de Octubre Valley (Chubut province, Argentine). In each of them, pairs of plots that differed in disease symptoms were established. Each pair included a plot with an advanced degree of disease (diseased plot) and another that did not exhibit symptoms (asymptomatic plot). Eight plots were included in the control forests, where the disease was totally absent. In each plot, a soil sample from the A horizon was collected for chemical analyses. This study showed high soil chemical fertility in all the forest soils, with high contents of organic matter, nitrogen, exchangeable cations and high cation exchange capacity. Differences between diseased forests and control forests were found for the following properties: sum of bases, base saturation, calcium, pH NaF and phosphorus. These differences could be associated with the drainage conditions and may also be associated to the presence of Phytophthora.

Allen charge
An instruction given by a court to a deadlocked jury to encourage it to continue deliberating until it reaches a verdict. Some states prohibit Allen charges, because they deem them coercive, but the U.S. Supreme Court upheld their use in Allen v. U.S., 164 U.S. 492 (1896). Also called dynamite charge, nitroglycerine charge, shotgun charge, and third-degree instruction.
Illustrative caselaw
See, e.g. Lowenfield v. Phelps, 484 U.S. 231 (1988) and Allen v. U.S., 164 U.S. 492 (1896).
