Brief DescriptionStudents determine revenue generated by sample pages from the Yellow Pages and discuss the value of advertising a business in this venue.
Keywordstelephone, phone, yellow, directory, advertise, business, revenue, calculate, chart, table, research, data, decision
Note: This math activity is designed to be done by hand, but you might integrate technology by having students use a computer spreadsheet program to organize and calculate data.
Open this activity with a brief discussion about the Yellow Pages section of the local telephone directory. How do the Yellow Pages differ from other parts of the book? What kinds of people publish phone numbers in the Yellow Pages? What might be the benefits of publishing phone numbers in the Yellow Pages? Lead the discussion to how businesses use the Yellow Pages to advertise their products or services with other businesses offering similar services.
Share with students that Yellow Pages ads can be very expensive but that many business owners pay the rates because it's profitable for them to be listed among businesses that offer competitive products. A small Yellow Pages ad can cost hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars a year! In large urban areas, the costs of advertising in the Yellow Pages are likely to be greater than they are in a small, rural area. Costs vary by geographic location and by the size of the ad. Other variations might include whether the ad includes art or colored inks.
In this activity, students will use the local telephone directory and some fictitious ad rates to calculate the amount of revenue that a page in the Yellow Pages generates. The fictitious ad rates might or might not be close to rates actually paid in your area. You are welcome to substitute true rates for your local area if you can get that information from your Yellow Pages publisher. (Publishers might not be willing to provide that information; ad rates are frequently unpublished and often negotiable.)
For this activity, assign each student three pages in the Yellow Pages section of your local directory, or you might copy a number of pages and give three to each student. Have each student create a chart (or use a teacher-created chart) and do the math for the three pages he or she is assigned.
If you have time, it's a good idea to provide students with pages that include ads in a variety of sizes. You might even plan to give more complex pages (with ads of a wide variety of sizes plus a fair number of individual listings) to students with strong math abilities; for students who are not as strong in math, you might provide simpler pages that will require less calculation.
When students have their phone book pages, share with them that the rates advertisers pay for Yellow Pages ads depend on the size of the ad. Ask: What different sizes of ads do you find on the pages you have in front of you? (Students will share that they see full-page ads, ads that take up a half of the page, or ads that take up a quarter, an eighth, or a sixteenth of the page.)
To accommodate students who are visual learners, you might cut 16 squares from a page of the yellow pages; each square should be the size of an ad that takes up 1/16th of a page in the phone directory. Have students assist as you paste those squares over a sample page; students will see clearly that a page can be made up of 16 ads that are 1/16 of a page in size. You might also cut squares to show students that a page could include eight 1/8th-page ads, four 1/4th-page ads, or two 1/2-page ads.
At this time, provide a couple of sample pages from the Yellow Pages section of the phone directory. (Photocopying those pages onto overhead transparencies would be best.) As a class, count and record the number of ads of different sizes and the number of individual (1- or 2-line) ads that appear on each page. Record the results in a format similar to the one below:
|Page no.||2-line||1/16th page||1/16th page with art||1/8th page||1/8th page with art||1/4th page||1/4th page with art||1/2 page||1/2 page with art||Full page||Full page with art|
Hand out to students three pages from the Yellow Pages. Have students create a chart similar to the one above (or provide the chart for students to fill in). Have students use the chart to record the number of ads of different sizes and the number of individual listings on each page.
Introduce the Ad Rate Sheet. Provide the sheet for students in one of the following formats:
The simple Ad Rate Sheet below can be used if you do not have access to an actual Ad Rate Sheet from the publisher of your phone directory. (Notes: For younger students, you might simplify the activity by leaving off the "Extra Charge for Art" column. All rates on this chart are on the low side for most locales.)Next, have students create a chart (or use a teacher-created chart) to figure how much revenue the Yellow Pages publisher took in for three pages of the phone directory. The chart below is a sample of the chart older students might use for each page. (Younger students might have fewer types of ads listed.)
Size of Ad Cost per Year Extra Charge for Art 1 or 2 lines $120 No art allowed 1/16th page $390 $50 1/8th page $760 $75 1/4th page $900 $100 1/2 page $1,420 $125 Full page $2,170 $175
|Number of ads||Type and cost of ad||Total cost of ads|
|2-line ad @ $120||$|
|1/16th-page ad @ $390||$|
|1/16th-page ad with art @ $440||$|
|18th-page ad @ $760||$|
|1/8th-page ad with art @ $835||$|
|1/4th-page ad @ $990||$|
|1/4th-page ad with art @ $1,090||$|
|1/2-page ad @ $1,420||$|
|1/2-page ad with art @ $1,545||$|
|Full-page ad @ $2,170||$|
|Full-page ad with art @ $2,345||$|
|Total ad dollars||$|
Ask students to record on the chart the number of each type of ad that appears. Then they should figure out the total ad dollars generated by each type of ad. Finally, they should total the figures for each type of ad to find the amount generated by each page of the Yellow Pages. Have students repeat those steps for all three pages.
Students answer the following question: If you owned a restaurant, would you publish a business ad in the Yellow Pages of your phone book? Why or why not?

Traditional incandescent string troubleshooting does not apply to LED strings. It can be frustrating and time consuming to locate a bad LED or socket without checking each one-by-one. One method to speed up the troubleshooting is to use a binary search reduction method. You will need a multimeter to perform this reduction test. Before proceeding be SURE TO UNPLUG THE LIGHTS FROM YOUR POWER SOURCE.
1) Find the segment break of the LED string (typically at 36th LED in a 70ct 120V string, but this is dependent on your LEDs, count and voltage) for the section that is unlit.
2) Remove the middle LED from the socket in the unlit segment (e.g. If the segment is 35 LEDs long, remove the 17th LED).
3) Remove the first LED in the unlit segment
4) Using your multimeter set to measure Ohms, place one probe in the first socket and the other in the middle socket. Look for resistance. If it is open, proceed. It it indicates resistance, one of the removed LEDs may be bad.
5) If the above test was open, continue to divide the string into halves for each segment, removing the middle LED and testing for resistance between the first socket and the newly removed LED socket, and the last socket and the newly removed LED socket.
6) Keep halving the section that has no resistance. You should be able to narrow down the bad LED or socket within a handful of testing attempts.
When testing your lighting, using your regular sequencing software is often not the best way to do it.
If you are using an ECG-DR4 or ECG-DMXRen8 E1.31 to DMX interface, it could be simpler to use a dedicated test utility like da_E131.
This allows you to send known E1.31 (streaming ACN) data to your hardware. At least then you'll know if it's a hardware or software problem you're having.

(Iris germanica florentina)
PROPAGATION: By division. Replant with half of rhizome above the surface of the soil. Has a tendency to rot if completely covered.
NEEDS: Full sun to partial shade and well-drained fertile soil.
HARVEST: There are several methods.
1. Dig rhizomes after blooming; peel and dry in the sun. Use a dust mask if pulverizing the dry root as it can be allergenic.
2. Dig the root and chop or shred while fresh; as drying occurs, the sweet fragrance develops, but takes 2 years.
3. Dig up older roots in fall; peel; shred or chop and then dry. Grate or grind fresh peeled root in food processor; spread on mesh a few days to dry (this avoids the dust). Fragrance of the root continues to develop upto 2 years. Also try other bearded iris roots.
The dried powdered root is used in dry shampos, bath salts and talcum powder.
Used as a fixative in potpourri. Used in herb pillows.

1.9 syntax. As you can see, the code executes quite speedily which makes it perfect for a githook.
A pre-commit hook that checks code complexity and returns non-zero for any score higher than 61 works quite well. And since you can always bypass with --no-verify, it won't prevent you from your normal workflow if you don't want to bother.
Now that you've got your footing with Flog, let's talk about coverage.
Code Coverage
This seems a simple concept, but has surprising depth. Also, the terms used to describe the types of coverage are difficult to research and disambiguate. Before we go much further, I'll describe a few terms that you'll be expected to know if you want to dive into measuring code coverage in your projects.
 - C1 coverage – This is basic statement coverage (also what simplecov uses). One of the most basic measurements. Simply measures that each statement is executed (or at least loaded) through tests.
 - C2 coverage – This is branch coverage. Measures that there is a test for each edge of the flow.
There are a number of other types of coverage measurements that are useful. If you are curious, I'd reccommend reading this paper on the various types of coverage. We'll primarily be focusing on C1 and C2 with simplecov, so I won't belabour the point anymore. But know that there are many ways to define test coverage.
The Advantages
The advantages of tracking code test coverage is pretty obvious. You'll be able to look at which areas in your code base are the most secure, and which are in most need of attention.
A word of warning: Code coverage as mentioned earlier, can be gamed with relative ease. Be sure to use this only to give you an idea of where you stand and don't build incentives around it. As always with code metrics, use thoughtful discretion when trying to gain actionable insight into your programs.
Getting Started with Coverage
As briefly mentioned before, we'll be using simplecov. Simplecov is a gem that can be easily integrated into a Rails app or other Ruby project, and provides a snazzy little html page that shows your test coverage.
Installation is a little bit more intense than the previous tools listed here, but is still pretty straightforward. Add the following line to your test/spec_helper and run your tests.
require'simplecov'
Then open coverage/index.html and you'll see something that looks like this:
Image from simplecov's github page.[7]
To see a highlighted version where red shows the lines not executed, you can click the file paths. And that's basically that.
C1 (statement coverage) is what simplecov reports, and while you can't use this information to quantify exactly how healthy your program is, you can use this overview to give you a place to start. This is especially useful for legacy applications, where you may not know yet exactly where the problem areas are.
Let's Recap
We looked at these:
 1. Cyclomatic complexity- a graphical measurement of the number of possible paths through the normal flow of a program.
 - Saikuro – Analyzes cyclomatic complexity and writes a nice report for evaluation.
 2. ABC metric- a method by which scores are gathered for each componentassignment, branching, and calls, then calculated into a score that can be easily understood.
 - Flog – An opinionated and robust commandline tool that runs the ABC metric.
 3. Code Coverage- a measure used in software testing used to describe the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested.
 - Simplecov – A nice test-coverage report tool that integrates easily into Rails and other Ruby projects.
Where to Begin
All of the tools discussed above are a good way to get started. If I were to start using code metrics today, I'd begin with Flog. There are good resources out there with information on how to get up and running with it, and I believe its opinionated nature will get you to start asking questions that you might not think about otherwise. Start by using the measurement Jake Scruggs (see above) came up with as a rule of thumb and really think about where that complexity is coming from. Once you've gotten a feel how Flog identifies overly complex code, move on to the other tools and begin to get a feel for how they relate.
Start by building a workflow that involves code metrics. It doesn't have to be something as complicated as a githook even. Maybe just make it a habit to run Flog before merging a branch, or run a suite of metrics before your next code review.
Hopefully, this has whet your appetite for information about your code. Understanding how complexity is measured and where that complexity lives in your code is an incredible advantage for development. This article has barely even scratched the surface of code metrics. Really smart people have been working on this for decades and it shows. There are tremendous resources out there to explore all the different aspects of this study. Go and investigate. Oh, and thanks for reading. ^_^

Two or more physical lines may be joined into logical lines using
backslash characters (
\), as follows: when a physical line ends
in a backslash that is not part of a string literal or comment, it is
joined with the following forming a single logical line, deleting the
backslash and the following end-of-line character. For example:
if 1900 < year < 2100 and 1 <= month <= 12 \ and 1 <= day <= 31 and 0 <= hour < 24 \ and 0 <= minute < 60 and 0 <= second < 60: # Looks like a valid date return 1
A line ending in a backslash cannot carry a comment. A backslash does not continue a comment. A backslash does not continue a token except for string literals (i.e., tokens other than string literals cannot be split across physical lines using a backslash). A backslash is illegal elsewhere on a line outside a string literal.

Plasticizer Databook - Just Published
Plasticizer Databook contains data on selection of the most important plasticizers in use today. The selection includes 375 generic and commercial plasticizers.
Plasticizer Databook written by Anna Wypych contains data on selection of the most important plasticizers in use today. The selection includes 375 generic and commercial plasticizers. The generic plasticizers contain data for particular chemical compound from numerous sources and these generic plasticizer tables usually contain the most extensive information. The commercial plasticizers include only data given by plasticizer manufacturers. This allows comparison of properties of commercial plasticizers coming from different sources.
Plasticizer Databook was developed to contain data required in plasticizers application. Attempts were made to include plasticizers used in various sectors of industry to provide information for all users and to help in finding new solutions. Plasticizers included in the book differ from solvents by boiling point, which is above 250oC, but some plasticizers are used as temporary plasticizers or are expected to react with other components of mixture. These substances will not meet the boiling temperature criterion but will still be included since they play role of plasticizers.
The tables in the book are divided into five general sections: General information, Physical properties, Health & safety, Ecological properties, and Use & performance. Only available fields for particular plasticizer are included in the individual tables.
In General Information section the following data are displayed: name, CAS #, IUPAC name, Common name, Common synonyms, Acronym, Empirical Formula, Molecular mass, RETECS Number, Chemical Category, Mixture, EC number, Ester Content, Phosphorus Content, Bromine Content, Solids Content, Oxirane Oxygen Content, Paraffinic Content, Naphthenic Content, Moisture Content, Chlorine Content, Bound Acrylonitrile, Sulfur Content, Butadiene Content, Aromatic Carbon, Total Aromatic Content, and Hydroxyl Number.
Physical Properties section contains data on State, Odor, Color (Gardner, Saybolt, and Platinum-cobalt scales), Boiling point, Melting point, Freezing point, Pour point, Iodine Value, Refractive indices at different temperatures, Specific gravity at different temperatures, Density at different temperatures, Vapor pressure at different temperatures, Coefficients of Antoine equation, Temperature range of accuracy of Antoine equation, Vapor Density, Volume Resistivity, Acid number, Acidity(acetic acid), Saponification value, pH, Viscosity at different temperatures, Kinematic viscosity at different temperatures, Absolute viscosity at 25C, Surface tension at different temperatures, Solubility in water, and Water solubility.
Health & Safety data section contains data on NFPA Classification, Canadian WHMIS Classification, HMIS Personal Protection, OSHA Hazard Class, UN Risk Phrases, US Safety Phrases, UN/NA Class, DOT Class, ADR/RIC Class, ICAO/IATA Class, IMDG Class, Food Approval(s), Autoignition Temperature, Flash Point, Flash Point Method, Explosive LEL, Explosive UEL, TLV - TWA 8h (ACGIH, NIOSH, OSHA), Max Exposure Concentration NIOSH-IDLH, Toxicological Information, acute, Rat oral LD50, Mouse oral LD50, Rabbit dermal LD50, Dermal LD50 (guinea pig), LD50 dermal rat, Inhalation, LC50, (rat, mouse, 4h (mist)), Skin irritation, Eye irritation (human), Carcinogenicity, Teratogenicity, and Mutagenicity.

Ark Survival Evolved: New Creatures in Genesis Part 2
There are many different creatures in Ark: Survival Evolved, which is also what attracts players. 7 new creatures have also been added to the latest update of Genesis Part 2. Below is an introduction to these creatures.
This creature is quite docile, but if you decide to kill it, it will drop animal skins, raw meat, fur, and keratin. You can find it in Eden along the northern half of the map, and it's easy to find.
This creature uses invisible power to track its prey, but you can still see it because of the faint shimmer around its body and its paw prints behind. If you want to tame the shadowmane, you must find them during the day when they are resting. They are most abundant in the southern half of the Rockwell side of the map.
If you happen to get this creature too close, it will repeatedly bite and attack and call on its siblings to help win the battle. You can tame it by stroking it twice and then feeding it the elements. It is a good vehicle because its saddle has thrusters and lasers.
Tek Stryder
Tek Stryder is a mechanical creature, once it is tamed, you can turn it into anything you want. It is most commonly found on the Eden side of the map, where you should build your base.
Noglin is a strange but interesting creature because it can control the thoughts of other creatures and survivors. You can tame it by letting it control your own tame.
It is a mechanical creature, very similar to a typical Wyvern. It can be tamed, but you must ride it. Tek Wyverns patrols the middle of the map between Eden and Rockwell and can be found near the asteroid.
They are very aggressive creatures. Summoners can only use cheat codes to force taming. It is not the creature you want to annoy, but if you kill it, every creature it summons will die with it.

A trust is a legal arrangement where management of property is separated from the benefit of that property. This is created when someone (the settlor), entrusts property into a trust (managed by trustee) for the benefit of another (the beneficiary).
Trust administration refers to the management of assets within the trust. The trustee is responsible for trust administration, and holds the duty of fiduciary. The trustee must protect the assets of the trust, and ensure they are used according to the trust setup. The duties of trust administration will vary according to the nature of the trust.

Sylvia Crowe and Magdalen College
Sylvia Crowe was a landscape architect and is well-known for the variety of her work, from her garden designs to her industrial and housing landscapes. She designed landscapes for hospitals, power stations and reservoirs including Rutland Water and assisted with the gardens at the new towns of Harlow and Basildon. Sylvia shared an office with Brenda Colvin, another pioneering female landscape architect.
Sylvia was concerned that new developments such as roads were being landscaped by non-specialists. She thought that the standard of landscape relative to housing was poor in this country and set out to improve things. She was president of the Institute of Landscape Architects, now the Landscape Institute, from 1957-9; and in 1967 Sylvia was awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire, the CBE, and was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire, DBE, in 1973. This award is made for an outstanding and long-term contribution in a significant capacity at a national level.
She became the first landscape consultant to the Forestry Commission in 1964, encouraging the Commission to use mixed trees rather than rows of conifers in their plantations. She used aesthetic and ecological principles in forestry, breaking up the straight lines of the plantations using natural features as boundaries. She continues to inspire and influence students through her many books.
Magdalen College's extensive gardens date from the 16th century. They include the Rose Garden, designed for the college by Sylvia in 1953 to commemorate the development of penicillin as an antibiotic in Oxford during the 1940s. Stimulated by wartime need, the research was one of Oxford's greatest contributions to medicine. Already discovered by Alexander Fleming, the Oxford team headed by Howard Walter Florey developed penicillin, isolating the active ingredient. A rose garden was stipulated by the donor, the American Lasker foundation. Mary Lasker was a champion of medical research and with her husband, Albert, established a legacy of effective philanthropy through their own efforts and their public support of important causes.
Sylvia decided on a formal framework for the roses echoing botanic garden layout through the centuries. Its rectangular rose beds, surrounded by low, clipped box hedges, are enclosed by yew hedges, with stone seats at the west end under a row of pleached copper beech.

What Do People Ask Online About Pole Dancing?
What do People Ask Online About Pole Dancing?
Remember that time you witnessed pole dancing for the first time and your jaw dropped?
Learning a new hobby appealed to you. You watched a few online videos and pictured yourself spinning on a pole. Maybe you planned to perform for your special someone.
And then someone close to you said something untoward, and you hesitated. Did you enroll in your first trial class? Or were you held back by fears?
Well, you're not alone! We've curated top questions asked on Reddit, Quora, and Twitter. Results suggest that first-time polers are afraid of how hard it can be or of negative judgment.
Read on to satiate your curiosity and overcome your objections:
How hard is pole dancing?
Quora How Hard is Pole Dancing?
Anyone can pole dance. There aren't pre-requisites to get started, like a former dance background, or developed a group of muscles from years at the gym or specific skill sets at a height like rock climbing. Pole dance isn't an activity that discriminates based on what body type you have, or what your physical training has been.
However, pole dancing requires consistent hard work to make progress at. If you have access to a good studio and teachers that's already half the battle won. You must practice at least three to four times a week to build core strength you need to execute aerial tricks, suspend upside-down on the pole and hold your poses through minutes-long routines. The good news is, practice pays off.
You also must work on your flexibility. Classes start with 20 minutes of warm-ups and stretch so you don't get injured. They design pole moves and routines so that everything you learn is cumulative; once you master the basics, in just two to three terms you could execute complicated aerial stunts in the air, upside down, and with showmanship!
Will people judge you for learning to pole dance?
Teacher Suspended Pole Dancing
I learned pole in a private women-only studio with black-out curtains and a very discrete instructor, so I wasn't afraid of prying eyes or judgment. My family and friends told me over and over not to tell anyone else, but with time I lost a lot of fear around this.
People will always a judge, and they will judge you out of context. Especially if they never liked you in the first place, or if they're dissatisfied with their own lives.
I'd be wary of radio-announcing your newfound hobby around the workplace, or communities involving young kids or parents of young kids. As with nudity, so with pole dancing. You want to give them an option to not see you strutting your stuff if it's offensive to them. If they're not ready for it yet, it's their loss, it doesn't have to affect your ability to practice it within your own space.
Instead of negative judgment, I've only ever encountered praise and awe from both men and women. They're impressed by the feats I accomplish on the pole, they compare it to gymnastics and exclaim 'wow, you must have core strength!' or 'how do you do that with your body? You're so flexible!' Mostly I get positive feedback on how brave I must be to do this whenever I perform.
Pole dancing has become my prime passion, my body an instrument to spread body positivity to other women. That's so important, this year has seen a lot of debate around social media causing negative body image issues. How can I possibly keep such a thing quiet when I believe in healthy body perspectives?
Bruises – does it get better?
The answer is, yes! This too, shall pass. Everyone who starts a beginner class in pole complains about bruises. The first time you come home from a class looking bruised like a banana, you worry that your family may think you have an abusive boyfriend! The truth is, antibruise creams don't work as advertised.
Getting back on the pole, and practicing often, does. Bruising happens, in my opinion, in the early stages when you're too reliant on the touch points between your limbs or your joints and the pole to keep you aloft. Once you develop proper techniques and learn to engage your whole-body strength, you shouldn't bruise so easily.
Warm up in thick volleyball kneepads to protect your knees. You can use these during exotic pole, too. Wear more coverage, like yoga pants and long-sleeved shirts, when you practice floor work (for those pesky shoulder rolls, shoulder stands, and legwork on your back).
Is pole dancing a sport?
Pole dancing can be a sport. I know there are those trying to get it accepted by the relevant committees to make it an Olympic sport. But I see it more as an art form. I don't think it has to be a sport to be touted as something 'acceptable' or 'mainstream' that many people can do for either fitness or as a hobby.
It's such a close-ended question to ask. Like asking, 'is ballet a sport'? The idea of making it seem like a sport instead of a dance or art form makes it sound so competitive. Like we need to have X medals in pole dance competition or Y qualifying rounds of elimination to determine who is fit to pole dance and who is not. Like there are certain 'organizations' who have to govern over it and put it on a billboard or provide a place for it in a stadium for us to accept it.
I much prefer a pole dance community that is open and not judged. Where we get to wear our sexy high heels and star-studded bikinis and celebrate one another's showmanship, grace, lines, techniques, and styles. Pole dancing is beautiful when we come at it from a place of acceptance — of everyone's diversity in expressing themselves through this art form.
Now we've answered your burning questions, come join PoleCon 2019 and get pole dancing!

. Chris - So that's the time to hit the ground for the parcel from that altitude?
Matt - Yes.
Chris - So now, we've actually got to take into account the movement of the airplane along.
Matt - So, I'm going to cheat and use a calculator to work out what that will be. Now, what we should do then is, if you know how fast your plane is going, so it's going 90. did you say 90 meters per second?
Tilly - Yeah.
Matt - So, you multiply - while the parcel is falling, multiply how long it takes to hit the ground by 90 because it's going to go an extra 90 meters every second and that will give you your grand total which will be around about. 8 kilometres! There you go. That's not bad.
Chris - There you go, Tilly. If you get an 'A', we want some of the glory, okay?
Tilly - Yeah.
Why would fingers feel cold when they're warm?
Chris - It sounds quite likely, actually Katrina, that this is a form of neuropathy.
The sensation of pain and temperature in the body is conveyed by what we call C and A-delta nerve fibres. They're some of the tiniest nerve fibres in the body. They measure less than 1 micron or 1,000th of a millimetre across. For some reason that we don't thoroughly understand, if you injure them or injure a nerve, or you have certain conditions like diabetes or you take certain drugs to treat other conditions, this can sometimes damage these nerve fibres. When they are injured, they don't regrow or regenerate very well.
As a result, what can happen is that you can get a condition called causalgia or another related condition called allodynia, and this is where patches of skin which are supplied by these sensory fibres can become excruciatingly painful when the stimulus applied to them is one that would be completely innocuous normally. In other words, a stroking sensation can be misinterpreted as an extremely painful sensation.
This can occur secondarily to an injury. If people break their wrist for example, especially elderly people and they fall over, they can sometimes damage the nerves in their wrist, and this can result in damage to those sensory nerve fibres, and can produce these similar sorts of sensations under certain circumstances.
Unfortunately, it's very hard to treat. There are some drugs that can be used and these include amitriptyline in very low doses. This is an anti-depressant in high doses, but at low doses can be good for these sorts of neuropathic pains, and other drugs like gabapentin also does the same sort of thing, and it might be worth seeing a neurologist to see if they can help her. It's also worth getting this checked out properly anyway, just in case there's anything else going on that we might be missing, some other related signs that might point towards another disease that might be causing this. But I hope you can get it sorted out soon.
Does Vegetable matter have any intelligence?
Ginny - That's an interesting question. So, I guess it depends on how you define intelligence. In the way of problem solving, and flexibility of thinking, I would say probably not really, but there are things that plants can do that seem intelligent. So, there are types of creeper that manage to grab hold of other plants and climb up them, and you use them for support. That seems quite clever and I've seen time lapse videos of those where you can see the creepers sort of spiralling around and reaching for something to hold on to.
There's also the fact that when you plant a seed, the roots always know to grow downwards and the shoots know to grow upwards, and that's because of are some chemicals in the plant that tell it which way gravity is, and that allows it to know which way up to grow. So you don't have to worry about which way up you're planting your seeds. So, there are things plants can do that do seem quite clever and quite intelligent so, yes!
Chris - Do you have any intelligent vegetables in your garden to tell us about, Simon?
Simon - Well, I was thinking of the Venus flytrap.
Ginny - Of course! Well Venus flytraps are very clever. They've got hairs on the inside of the trap part. What's particularly clever about them is that they don't get triggered if just one hair is touched and that's to save energy because it's quite energetically expensive for them to close. And if they did it every time a leaf fell on them or a drop of rain or something, that will be a waste. So they only trigger if two of the hairs are brushed in quick succession because that's quite a good indication that there's something moving on the inside and it's a good idea to close and trap it.
Chris - So I guess it is a sort of intelligence because they're summating or mixing together two different signals from two different hairs to work out when to do that behaviour. So I guess that's a reasonable example, Simon.
Simon - Okay, that's cool.
Chris - You know, of course, why they do that?
Simon - Because it's very poor nutrition in the ground.
Chris - Yes. These plants are set to acquire their nutrition from the air. Meaning, that their lunch delivers itself part and parcel straight on to their leaves, and as you say, these sorts of plants grow in areas where the soil is extremely poor, often bogs and marshes where they can't compete very easily for nutrients from the water in the soil. So as a result, they actually trap things from the air which are rich in nitrogen and phosphorus i.e. living matter and they ingest it into themselves and make it part of themselves. Great question.
18:14 - Vaccine for herpes
Vaccine for herpes
Using an approach that might also prove successful against HIV, scientists in the US have developed a vaccine for the herpes simplex virus that causes cold sores and genital lesions.
Previous efforts to develop vaccines to protect people from these viruses, which infect more than 80% of the population, have not been successful.
Part of the reason is that, once an individual is infected, the virus retreats inside the nervous system, lurking in just its DNA form beyond the reach of the immune system. From this "latent" state, which persists for a person's lifetime, the virus periodically reactivates, producing infectious skin lesions that can transmit the agent to other individuals.
So the key to effective vaccination is to prevent the virus getting into the nervous system in the first place.
But therein lies the problem, because the very parts of the body that the virus has evolved to infect first, chiefly the mucous membranes of the mouth and genital tract - which are also richly supplied with sensory nerve cells - are normally no-go areas for virus-targeting CD8 T lymphocytes that can provide protection. And so initial vaccination attempts, while very effective at marshalling an immune army, were incapable of deploying the troops to the tissues most in need of defence.
Now two Yale scientists may have found a way to solve the problem. Haina Shin and Akiko Iwasaki, writing in Nature, call their approach "prime and pull".
Put simply, they first vaccinate by administering a weakened form of herpes to the skin. This drives an immune response to the virus, including production of key CD8 virus-combating T cells. They then "pull" these cells to the genital tract by administering, 5 days later, a dose of a pair of chemical "chemokine" signals called CXCL9 and CXCL9. These chemicals are used naturally by the immune system to target cells to tissues.
The result, in groups of experimental mice used by the researchers, was the accumulation of long-lived herpes-recognising memory T cell "sentries" within the genital tracts of the animals.
When these mice were then subsequently exposed, up to 3 months later, with what would otherwise have been a potentially lethal dose of a naturally-occurring herpes simplex virus strain, the animals all survived. Control mice, that had been vaccinated via the skin but had not received the pull signals administered genitally, had mortality rates of almost 50%.
Moreover, checks on the nervous systems of the vaccinated mice showed that, compared with the controls, the levels of virus reaching these sites were orders of magnitude lower.
According to Shin and Iwasaki, "a single topical treatment with the chemokines applied vaginally can provide superior protection against genital herpes by preventing the spread of the infection from the mucosa into neurones."
They also hint at the tantalising possibility that this same strategy might work with HIV too, arresting the virus before it gains access to the immune cells it needs to penetrate in order to initiate an infection...
Is there a googol of anything?
Matt - A googol is a great number in that, it is a number that exists just because it has a nice name. There's nothing that we really have a googol of, but someone thought, "wouldn't a 1 with 100 zeros be a great number?" so they called it a googol. You could hear him emphasising gooGOL because it's spelled G O O G O L. The Google search engine is named after this but they spelled it differently. He's absolutely correct. If you're going to try to count objects, you won't find a googol of anything. So, even going right up to number of protons in the universe, which I think is - physicists argue between 1079 to 1081, so it's a 1 with somewhere between

All About Flash Mobs
Whether you've been a part of one or just enjoyed the viral vids that followed, flash mobs are a huge part of modern culture, combining spontaneity, fun, and strangers. Find out more in All About Flash Mobs!
What is a "Flash Mob"?
Flash mobs bring groups of people together who may or may not know each other in order to create a spontaneous scene in a public place, which is a (usually) delightful surprise for passers-by and undeniably fun for the participants! They usually start and end at a specific time, so they are short and unexpected, and can include people singing, dancing, pillow fighting – you name it! Flash mobs first started as a form of performance art in New York City, they usually are all about the visual effect, surprising an audience, and stay away from political demonstration and advertisement (although some companies have managed to use flash mobs to make commercials and pull off publicity stunts.)
Inventor of flash mobs Bill Wasik said:
"the mobs started as a kind of playful social experiment meant to encourage spontaneity and big gatherings to temporarily take over commercial and public areas simply to show that they could."
How is Organized?
Often flash mobs are organized online via different types of social media (Facebook events, Twitter, blogs or email), meaning you might not know any of the other people who show up! Word of mouth has to be discreet though, because while flash mobs are fun, it's more fun if it's a total surprise – no one wants the news cameras, cell phones and even police to outnumber the actual participants.
Flash Mob Fun Facts!
- In the 19th century in Tasmania the term "flash mob" was used to describe groups of female prisoners, this is no relation to how it's used now.
- The word "flash mob" was included in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2004
- In Philadelphia some flash mobs were later dubbed "flash robs" because people had used them to steal and riot.
- When a company or political act is behind the event, it's usually called a "smart mob" instead, since it isn't just for the joy of doing something wacky.
- The first flash mob took place in Manhattan, and in order to avoid police detection Bill Wasik had people meet at different bars and then go on to the mob at Macy's department store.

Pudd'nhead Wilson
Passing for Privilege: Exposure of the true self in Chopin's "The Awakening", Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson", and Chesnutt's The Wife of His Youth College
"This above allto thine own self be true, /And it must follow, as the night the day, / Thou canst not then be false to any man" (Hamlet, 1.3.154-56). As Shakespeare so eloquently wrote, finding oneself is the key to truth. This idea is a prominent theme in Kate Chopin's "The Awakening", Mark Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson", and Charles Chesnutt's The Wife of My Youth through different facets of identity and society's reaction. Chopin's "The Awakening", Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson", and Chesnutt's The Wife of His Youth all address possibilities and limits of accepting aspects of one's gender, race, and class identity in relation to 19th century United States society.
In Chopin's "The Awakening", the main identity struggle is between sexuality and independence against traditional female roles in 19th century Louisiana. Exposed to female gender expression in Creole culture, Edna Pontellier realizes that expression and identity are not limited by social rules. Edna has suppressed her true self, conforming to the identity expected of her since childhood. "Even as a child she had lived her own small life all within herself. At a very early period she had apprehended instinctively the dual life—that outward existence which conforms, the...

A BAND of brave volunteers has shown that an anti-jellyfish cream does reduce the chances of being stung.
A team at Stanford University School of Medicine in California cut off the tentacles of the box jellyfish found off the US, whose stings are extremely painful and can even kill children. Then they draped 5-centimetre lengths over volunteers' arms for a few seconds. On arms slathered with the cream, only three of 12 volunteers were stung, whereas 10 were stung when tentacles were applied to the other arm (
The exact make-up of the cream, made by Nidaria Technology, is secret, but it is designed to fool a jellyfish's stinging cells, making them respond to skin coated with it as if it was their own. But if jellyfish are likely to be more than a mild irritant, staying out of the water or wearing...

Angelica 14 is a pain relieving formula, mainly intended for treatment of headache, neck pain, and other upper-body pains. The formula is based on several traditional prescriptions: Ophiopogon and Asarum Combination, Cnidium and Tea Formula, and Chiang-huo Combination. The traditional description of the pain syndrome is stagnation due to invasion of wind. This is a condition in which the blood vessels contract, producing the pain sensation. The upper body is most susceptible to wind. Several of the herbs of this formula are said to dispel wind and relieve surface congestion, including angelica, chrysanthemum, cnidium, chiang-huo, siler, and vitex. Except for chrysanthemum, these herbs have a warming quality: the warming nature of the herbs is a contributor to the desired rapid effect, which is a strong dispersing action. Scute, rehmannia, and chin-chiu clear internal heat and prevent heat agitation from exacerbating the surface wind. Although this formula is intended for short-term use in treating individual bouts of wind invasion, with appropriate accompanying treatments it can be utilized as a preventive agent for those who experience repeated wind invasion. Easy susceptibility to wind invasion suggests that the vessels are not richly supplied with qi and blood. In cases of blood stasis causing headache, add or substitute Cnidium 9 or Upper Palace Tablets; for wind-heat, try Chrysanthemum 9, and for liver fire headache, try Long Dan Xie Gan Wan.

Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Transportation network design always has a measure of risk.
Risk assessment allows you to estimate your transportation network's ability to resist unique events (risk) and your design's ability to recover after a disruption.
There is a clear trade-off between transportation system efficiency and resilience. As your transportation network becomes more efficient, it also becomes less resilient. If you use a lean approach to improve your network's efficiency, an unexpected change such as an increase or reduction in demand could destroy it. However, if you invest too much into risk mitigation, the cost of these improvements could reduce your competitiveness.
Whatever approach you take, the process you use to design your transportation network must evaluate how uncertainty could influence it. It also needs to help you understand how you can mitigate these risks.
 Address Your Risk Management Challenges.
 Veeroute allows you to test how different types of risk may affect your transportation network and understand how you could improve its design:
 - Learn how your transportation network reacts to uncertainty and identify which events could destroy it
 - Evaluate your network's resilience – how well it performs after a disruption – and estimate the time it will take to recover
 - Stress test your transportation network to understand its strengths and limitations
 - Design your transportation logistics to find the right balance of reliability and efficiency

 Part 5 - Avalon: In the original TMP Avalon represents the first concerted effort towards extraterrestrial colonization with the location of the Moon chosen
 Message 1 of 1, Mar 1 8:35 AM

 Part 5 - Avalon:
 In the original TMP Avalon represents the first concerted effort
 towards extraterrestrial colonization with the location of the Moon
 chosen for its proximity and thus its immediate potential as part of a
 space based industrial infrastructure. I see planetary and lunar
 settlement as more concurrent activities with slightly lesser priority
 than orbital development because they present less economical sources
 of materials because of a higher transport overhead. However, the Moon
 suffers less from these problems than Mars or any other planets by
 virtue of low gravity and so is a logical choice for sooner settlement
 based on that. Now, there is today a certain conflict in space advocacy
 circles over whether the Moon or Mars offer the better choice of first
 colonization efforts. Proponents of an initial Mars colonization base
 their preference on the notion that Mars offers better prospects of
 sustainable settlement by offering a much broader spectrum of raw
 materials. The argument goes that one has all the ingredients for a
 true extension of civilization on Mars while the Moon is quite limited
 in its spectrum of raw materials and so any settlement there cannot be
 self-sustaining. This may be correct but overlooks the fact that no
 single location in space is economically sustainable because of the
 tremendous up-front cost of going there and setting up shop. Using
 current and near-term technology, one simply cannot settle anyplace in
 the solar system without incurring some kind of tremendous debt that
 must be paid with whatever resources one can exploit in space.
 Unfortunately, planetary and lunar sources of materials are inferior to
 asteroid sources because of the higher cost in their transport. And the
 gravity eliminates one of the key non-material resources one can
 exploit in space. So the economic potential of lunar and planetary
 settlements is a much tougher prospect. But these bodies do have some
 advantages. They offer generally larger spectrums of materials in
 closer proximity and lower settlement facilities construction costs
 thanks to at-hand resources with which settlements can be built. The
 lunar or planetary settlement thus has more materials closer at hand
 and so can collect and process them faster and will have a lower cost
 in the establishment of industrial facilities to process them. These
 settlements still face the problem of needing to process materials into
 a very highly refined form to overcome very high transit costs. And
 nothing they can make is going to be cheap enough to have a lot of
 value on an Earth market. But they can produce some goods more easily
 than they can be produced on orbit and deliver them to space locations
 at lower cost than they can be delivered from Earth. What this suggests
 is that the initial market -and therefore source of investmentfor the
 lunar and planetary settlement is NOT Earth but rather the community of
 on-orbit settlements. After that start one must then cultivate a
 domestic market through industrial diversification -just like the
 Asgard pattern.
 A common premise of Lunar and Mars advocacy is the idea that
 exploratory outposts translate into permanent settlement. But,
 historically, this has rarely been the case because of the fact that
 exploratory outposts tend to have their choice of location based on the
 logistics of staged travel through the wilderness and thus often aren't
 in optimal locations for resource exploitation. Lunar and planetary
 exploration is even worse than this because initial landing sights are
 virtually random -chosen usually for statistical odds on the type of
 topography derived from orbital remote sensing data. Exploration is
 critically necessary. But manned exploration is clearly not
 cost-effective when it is so costly to begin with and obviously can
 only be temporary. Thus I anticipate a pattern of initial settlement
 that parallels the MUOL; tele-operated outposts focussed on the tasks
 of resource assessment followed by the tele-robotic construction of
 initial permanent settlements and resource utilization infrastructure.
 This work will largely be the province of the prospecting, mining, and
 raw materials processing segments of the Asgard industrial community
 with support from the Foundation CIC.
 To minimize costs initial robotic exploration and settlement would be
 based on a three-stage approach; a first wave consisting of the
 installation of a constellation of telecom and survey satellites
 followed a small wave of a few initial'soft' landing vehicles (powered
 vertical landing vehicles) which establish an outpost by delivering an
 initial set of fully assembled robots and self-contained systems and
 then the third continuous support wave conducted by delivery of
 components by 'rough' landing vehicles ('rocket-chute' delivered
 air-bag cushioned containers) which are gathered and assembled on-site
 by the robots delivered in the first wave. Several classes of systems
 and robots would be used. Power, telecommunications, and
 'assembler/service' systems would dominate the self-contained systems
 and may take the form of individual lander vehicles. Robots would be
 organized into classes of payload collection and transport (pick-it-up
 trucks), outside construction, excavation and earth-moving, and
 exploration. A key type of robot in this stage would be the long range
 explorer; a self-mobile lab platform with communications systems suited
 to even direct-to-Earth links in emergencies. These would perform the
 bulk of survey activities, traveling long distances and deploying and
 maintaining a web of small self-contained telecom nodes which fan out
 from the initial outpost to provide multiply redundant telecom links
 for teleoperation. Even robots need some degree of shelter to maximize
 their duty life -especially the more critical and delicate
 multi-purpose units which are relied on for the repair and maintenance
 of the other systems. Landing vehicles would provide initial shelter
 but as the on-site-built volume of hardware increases other simple
 shelters in the form of pneumatic foam rigidized, alloy channel arch,
 or panelized space frame sheds or huts would be built from bulk
 delivered components. These structures need not provide for human life
 support but they do need to provide meteoroid shelter and a reduced
 dust environment for repair and assembly activities. The configuration
 of these robotic outposts would take the form of a cluster of initial
 landers and support structures with a predefined 'drop field' for
 equipment delivery surrounded by an expanding web of 'roads' defined by
 chains of telecom nodes, power generation stations, and service
 component caches.
 Once sites for permanent settlement and neighboring industrial/mining
 facilities are identified the initial settlement facilities would
 likely be established by telerobotic construction using the same types
 of systems used in the exploration but relocated to these new sites. As
 with the Asgard scheme, human habitation will be contingent upon issues
 of telecom latency and the scale of industries established, thus
 trading continuous local systems maintenance for large subsystem
 obsolescence. Cost efficiency demands that initial permanent settlement
 be based on the maximum use of at-hand indigenous resources requiring
 the lowest amount of processing to exploit. This means one thing;
 excavated habitats. Marshal Savage was thus quite correct in
 anticipating Avalon's founding on a kind of excavated habitat system.
 Where Savage diverges from practicality and his own community ideology,
 in my opinion, is in the notion of domed homesteads built into existing
 craters. The water shielded transparent membrane hull is again the
 sticking point. At the small scale of the individual homestead the
 degree of shielding by water is inadequate. At the large scale, once
 again you have the issue of water not being as transparent as
 anticipated at the kind of thickness where it would provide good
 radiation shielding. On top of that, in a gravity environment one must
 use high internal pressures to resist the water mass. This means the
 very large habitat must use additional structural layers to rigidize
 the dome without pushing the internal atmospheric pressure too high.
 This means more structural material and less transparency. The obvious
 solution is, again, the same kind of hull system proposed for the
 EvoHab. But this is still not as practical for the initial lunar or
 planetary settlement because of its high quotient of manufactured
 components which rely on refined alloys.
 But these locations offer a much more cost-effective alternative -plain
 old rock. Excavation is the simplest method of construction and the
 easiest for robots to perform and produces habitats which are naturally
 well shielded and need far fewer imported materials and components. To
 make excavated spaces habitable, one has a choice of using
 pre-fabricated pneumatic pressure hull modules near-term and
 application of plastic materials or surface sintering for sealing
 long-term. With hard rock materials no sealing may be necessary at all,
 simplifying things to the use of plastic sealed bulkhead units. (note,
 that when I refer to 'plastic' materials I'm not talking strictly of
 plastics like epoxy but rather materials that are plastic or semi

The DataWORKS Reading Diagnostic Assessment (RDA) is designed to assess the current reading level of a student based on the five components of literacy:
The Reading Diagnostic Assessment is designed to pinpoint at what grade level students are reading based on their mastery of the content within each literacy component. A student entering a grade should ideally display reading skills typical of the low end of that grade. For example, a student entering first grade should know all of the letter names and sounds of those letters; whereas a student entering fifth grade should be able to read a fifth-grade passage fluently.
But, the reality is that many students are not reading at grade level, so the Reading Diagnostic Assessment allows teachers to pinpoint the areas where further instruction or remediation is required for each student.
See some samples of our Reading Diagnostic Assessments.
The Reading Diagnostic Assessment is available as an online assessment, or it can be downloaded and printed for hand-scoring.
Sample Online Assessment
Sample Printed Assessment
The assessment should be administered multiple times throughout the year. At the beginning of each school year, the assessment should be given to establish a baseline score for each student and to help teachers plan instruction or organize reading groups.
The assessment should then be repeated in the fall and spring to determine how much students have learned and what needs to be reviewed.
Finally, the assessment can be given a final time at the end of the school year to mark the highest level of literacy for that school year. The results from this end-of-year assessment can also be used in place of a baseline test at the beginning of the next school year, if needed.

 7 Important Facts about the Chicago Teachers Union Strike
 26,000 teachers went on strike in Chicago Monday, leaving 350,000 students stranded in a political battle they're too young to understand. Here are seven things you should know about the city's public school system and the union that controls it.
 1. Chicago Public Schools (CPS) are known for underachieving. In 2011, they had a dropout rate of 38 percent and graduated only 58 percent of their students. You'll notice the numbers are even worse when you isolate for male students: 45 percent and 52 percent, respectively.
 2. Test scores are nonetheless dismal for students who stay in the classroom. Approximately 79 percent of 8th graders in the CPS system are not proficient in reading, and another 80 percent are not proficient in mathematics.
 3. Chicago is home to one of the shortest school years in the country: 170 days. When the city suggested at least adding a little time onto the average school day, teachers refused to work. CPS were forced hire 477 new teachers, and union members were able to keep their salaries.
 4. Voters demanded accountability through legislation that would make it easier to fire teachers whose students weren't succeeding in the classroom. The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) recently referred to the evaluation process as "unacceptable," admitting that nearly 30 percent of its members may be fired as result.
 5. The CTU then tried to shift blame for the failing test scores onto things like "poverty" and "exposure to violence." Yet only ten states rank worse than Illinois in terms of unemployment. With parents struggling to make ends meet, raising taxes and taking away students' schools do nothing except exacerbate these conditions.
 6. Compared to their fellow Chicagoans, union-connected teachers are practically sailing yachts to work and eating caviar at lunchtime. The city's average teacher makes $74,839 per year (not including benefits), does not pay into Social Security, and receives a plentiful government worker pension upon retirement. (Teachers with 30+ years of employment had a final salary of $106,000.) And, despite public school teachers already making roughly 42 percent more than their counterparts in the private sector, the CTU still argued for a 30 percent pay increase.
 7. President Obama has no comment on the strike. I have zero room for astonishment.
 Marilyn Grainger
 Teachers need to be held accountable for their teaching skills or lack of. Unions are way to powerful and this is a prime example. IL governor you need to get strong like WI and our Governor Walker.
 Sue R
 You know, I don't think Walker went as far as what Governor Quinn is. Is Walker sending elected School Board Members to school? I think if we do the math, Illinois teachers are taking a bigger hit because of the way their benefits will be handled too. It's not a huge percentage higher, but the fact that it doesn't make the media the way it did when Walker did it is really kind of scary.
 I don't know what it is about Rahm Emanuel supporting something that gives it the slightest appearance of it being legitimate. Governor Quinn is a huge progressive too.
 They are counting on you to react just the way you have. If it's against a union it must be all good. It's Rahm Emanuel folks. It's Illinois. They don't want you to see what Quinn is doing. Trust me, his actions are a whole lot stronger than Walkers. Read the bill.
 They talk about how short the Chicago school day is. Who has mentioned to you that they want to make it a 7.5 hour school day? Who can say parenting facility?
 Are you hearing the part about how the local neighborhood schools have been closed down and consolidated? Do you know Arne Duncan?
 It's working on you. Do you really know anything about the charter schools in Chicago? Have you heard how they are turning a profit? The success level is manipulated. They kick out the bottom students.
 What about those vouchers is it that you like? The state has to qualify the schools you know. Do you know that the state then gets their foot into that private school and establishes mandates? How private is it anymore?
 What part about your tax money going to the local Muslim school tickles your fancy?
 Tax credits make more sense, but tax credits don't let the government manipulate your choices. Tax credits give individuals the ability to make independent choices.
 I just have to repeat. Think about who you are talking about here. There surely is a problem with the favorable relationship between government and unions, but come are on Rahm Emanuel, Arne Duncan and Governor Quinn's side?
 Not me, I'm going to stand with our family, neighbors and friends who are the
 Chicago teachers.
 Jim Simpson
 Who is going to stand up to the CTU? Not Obama! He is laying low putting getting re-elected ahead of the Students. He will continue to lead from behind.
 Not the Mayor! Watch him cave in.
 This union has proven they only care about selfish interest. These teachers who support the CTU should be ashamed of their greedy actions. I am sure there are good teachers in Chicago. Until they can get rid of the estimared 30% who should be fired the students interest will come last.

Acclimatization is the act and result of acclimatization. This verb, which comes from the French acclimater, refers to getting a living being to adapt to a different climate or environment than the one they are used to.
For examples: "I recommend that you bring this bush to your garden: it does not require much care and it is easy to acclimatize", "Matías' acclimatization process to the new school is being complicated", "After some months of acclimatization, the Player has already found his best form ".
Acclimatization, in a physiological sense defined by Digopaul, involves the adaptation of an organism to the changes that occur in its environment. It is a period whose length varies according to the species and the circumstances of the change.
In the face of environmental changes, the living being can register changes in its biochemistry, morphology and behavior. In some animals, to name a case, the hair grows more intensely in the winter so that the specimens can resist low temperatures and thus achieve acclimatization.
The idea of acclimatization is also used synonymously with accustoming or adaptation in a broad sense. Take the case of a 19-year-old Paraguayan footballer who is hired by a German team. The young man, who never lived or played outside his country, will have to get used to another language, different habits, new companions, etc. Therefore, you may have to go through an acclimatization period until you feel comfortable in your new club and be able to perform at your level.
Sometimes it is very common for the terms adaptation and acclimatization to be confused. However, it must be established that, although related because they refer to the responses an individual gives to the environment, they are different.
In this way, we find the fact that the word adaptation should be used when it comes to mentioning what adaptation is from a genetic point of view. That means that it is in close connection with what is known as natural selection and that allows beings to live, survive and persist in some places or others with different climatic conditions.
On the other hand, there is acclimatization. This word we have to explain that it should be used when we refer to what adaptation is but from a physiological level. In this case, it is established that it occurs in a timely manner, has specific characteristics and circumstances and then disappears when they also disappear.
Examples of people for whom acclimatization plays a key role are mountaineers or mountaineers. When they are going to carry out a new adventure at a summit, they must follow a series of guidelines in order to acclimatize and that it ends up being positive:
-They should not ascend more than 400 meters a day.
-It is necessary to establish rest days.
-They must be in good health and physical shape.
-It is essential that they drink plenty of water while they must carry out a diet rich in starches and in what are sugars.

A little bit of history to go with the art...
"The cry of 'Flower Power' echoes through the land. We shall not wilt. Let a thousand flowers bloom."
— Abbie Hoffman, Workshop in Violence, May 1967
From wikipedia... Flower Power originated in Berkeley California as a symbolic action of protest against the Vietnam War. In his November 1965 essay titled How to Make a March/Spectacle, Ginsberg advocated that protesters should be provided with "masses of flowers" to hand out to policemen, press, politicians and spectators. The use of props like flowers, toys, flags, candy and music were meant to turn anti-war rallies into a form of street theater thereby reducing the fear, anger and threat that is inherent within protests.

Nonwovens are an important component of different products of several uses, e.g. transport of humidity in sanitary products, insulation materials or filters. Nonwovens are usually produced on large engineering facilities. For this, experimental studies of design with regard to the optimization of these nonwoven-structures prove to be very difficult.
Influence Design Parameters
There are so many parameters of design, as for example fibers, surface weight or type of nonwoven bonding and finishing that are affecting the properties of nonwovens. For the change of one single parameter, e.g. the material of fiber, it is necessary to adapt the whole process of fabrication from the spinning of the fibers via their stacking to the nonwoven hardening.
Following the production of such a prototype a time consuming and cost-intensive characterization of the properties of nonwovens carried out experimentally has to be done. Therefore, for this reason detailed studies considering several parameters of design are uneconomic.

Then there is also the "relative" as in kinship or family "relation",
and we should not replace "relative" with "kinship" either, unless
that is what you are speaking of. I think what you are using is
definition 8, which may be appropriate. That is happiness in regard
to a person's view, or happiness stemming from a person (change
"happiness" to "truth"). We exude truths, we do not live by them.
That would be futile indeed.
In Western metaphysics, the word relative has specific meaning, that
is, not the common everyday meaning. Metaphysics is a form of Math as
presented by Russell. Logic must be adhered to, otherwise it is "just
whatever you want it to be". Words are operators in logic. A fuzzy
word is not too useful, as you can tell from the firestorm.
As you know from mindfulness, things do not have to be considered in
relation to other things. The divide between such things is a false
divide that stems from the SO view of the world. Here in MoQ we
understand that. It is the nature of what creates the appearance of
such separation that we are interested in. That, of course, is
Quality. Everything we can put into sq has qualities, and MoQ is an
sq ghost of Quality.
Thank you for the clafification in what you meant. (?).


Babycare During Covid – The Himalayan Task for Mothers!
Babycare During Covid - The Himalayan Task for Mothers!
Last Updated on
Babycare has always been a Himalayan task for parents. And, in the current covid conditions, it is going to be tougher, as it needs more effort. Working moms are the ones who might be getting affected more. Still, we can see mother's who are not taking this condition seriously. Babies need extra care these times.
In the case of working moms, as they have to go outside daily, they have to be more careful about themselves. They have to make sure that they are not becoming carriers. They must be extra vigilant in masking, sanitizing and distancing. Once they reach home, they must keep their belongings separately where the baby cannot reach or outside the house, head to the bathroom and take a shower, wash their clothes and only then go to their baby. They should also never kiss their babies. If possible, they must try to wear masks while coming in contact with their babies and always make sure their babies never come in contact with anything you take outside.
Wash your hands at regular intervals, even if you are not going outside, as your hands come in contact with a lot of things, which might have the virus. Always wash everything that comes to our house from outside, whatever it may be. Try to clean the areas where babies usually come in contact. In case they touch something from outside, wash their hands immediately.
Grandparents, siblings, everyone loves to play with babies. Allow that after making sure about their safety. Those who come in contact with babies must be clean and sanitized.
And the most important thing – Never allow any outsiders to come in contact with your baby. Practice saying No politely and explain the reason. They will surely understand as the whole world knows the reason behind it.
Babycare needs more effort these days. You need to be more vigilant and careful these days only for your baby. Others will understand. Through our safe, caring hands and lovely restrictions, our babies can get through this pandemic safely.


Board Questions
1. What is the main benefit of postpyloric vs. gastric feeds?
a) Less interruption in feeds overall
b) Less risk of aspiration
c) Ability to bolus feeds as needed
d) All of the above
2. In which situation is the respiratory quotient (R) >1?
a) Carbohydrate metabolism
b) Fatty acid oxidation
c) Protein breakdown
d) Lipogenesis
3. How can one estimate basal caloric requirements in a pediatric patient?
a) Ask the dietician
b) Perform a REE
c) Use the 4-2-1 Rule
d) All of the above
1. A- While intuitively, it would seem that postpyloric feeds would reduce the risk of aspiration vs. gastric feed, studies in which feeds have been dyed with methylene blue and then tracheal aspirates examined to determine aspiration into the lungs have not revealed a significant difference in aspiration risk (Kamat et al, PCCM 2008). Postpyloric feeds typically enter the duodenum, and thus should NOT be bolused like gastric feeds. Hence, A is the correct answer as it does appear feeds are interrupted less when they are postpyloric vs. gastric.
2. D- The respiratory quotient is a dimensionless number and is the ratio of CO2 eliminated to O2 consumed. It is used in the alveolar gas equation. Normally, we use a value of 0.8 for R to represent a typical diet consisting of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. A pure fat diet would have a R of 0.7, a pure carbohydrate diet of 1.0 and a pure protein diet of around 0.8. During breakdown of carbohydrates for lipogenesis, the R value >1. The respiratory quotient can be important in a patient with difficulty ventilating as consideration of their nutritional intake and composition can affect the amount of CO2 they produce.
3. D- All of the above methods are acceptable for estimating basal energy requirements in our patients. A rough measure can be used utilizing the 4-2-1 rule devised by Holliday and Segar as while our common practice is to utilize 4-2-1 for maintenance fluid requirements, the actual calculations were done for caloric requirements, with the math working out so that 1 kcal= 1 cc maintenance fluid. While there are valid criticisms of Holliday and Segar's work from the 1950's, using the 4-2-1 is still a reasonable approach to estimate basal metabolic requirements in an otherwise healthy child. Asking the dietician and performing an REE can also give you estimates of resting energy expenditure or basal metabolic requirement.

Estimation of Wiener Diffusion Parameters Using Process Measurements Subject to Error
Most materials and components degrade physically before they fail. Engineering degradation tests are designed to measure these degradation processes. Measurements in the tests reflect the inherent randomness of degradation itself as well as measurement errors created by imperfect instruments, procedures and environments. This paper describes a statistical model for measured degradation data that takes both sources of variation into account. The paper presents inference procedures for the model and discusses some practical issues that must be considered in dealing with the statistical problem.

How to Develop a Hierarchical Chart for the Levels of Organization
A hierarchical chart provides managers and employees with important information regarding authority and chain of command in a company. Printed organizational charts serve as convenient reference materials should there be any questions regarding reporting relationships or titles. Charts for hierarchical organization structure all follow the same basic pattern, beginning with the CEO or president of the company at the top of the chart, and ending near the bottom of the chart with employees who are at the lower end of the chain of command.
Obtain a list of all the people and positions in your company. In larger businesses, get the list from your human resources department. Vague position titles may make it difficult to determine reporting authority in some cases. Ask HR to explain the reporting structure in the various departments if you're not quite sure to whom a particular employee reports.
Sketch a rough draft of your chart on a notepad. Draw a rectangular box for the chief executive officer or president of the company and place it at the top of the page. If your organization works with a board of directors, place a box for the board of directors above the box for the CEO or president. Write "Board" in the box for the board of directors.
Create boxes for the managers who report directly to the CEO or president under his box. Draw boxes outlined with solid lines if the position is occupied, and put both the title of the position and the name of the person holding that position in the box. If the position is vacant, draw the box with dotted lines and include only the title of the position in the box. Place these boxes on the same line and draw lines from the CEO or President box to each position.
Draw boxes for each person who reports to the managers under their boxes. Place staff boxes under each manager box, stacked vertically below each manager. Draw lines connecting the manager to each staff position.
Use a software program to create a chart from your hand-drawn chart. Many word processing, presentation and charting programs provide templates that make it simple to create and revise hierarchical charts.
Ask your HR department to review the completed chart for accuracy. Distribute the approved chart to staff members.

Disproportionation happens when an electron from one atom is taken by another one, making two different chemicals. It is the opposite of symproportionation, which is the giving of electrons from one atom to another atom, It makes one chemical from two different chemicals.
Example of disproportionation[change | change source]
Sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) reacts with itself when it is dried. One atom gives two electrons away to two other atoms. The first atom becomes sodium chlorate, while the other two that got the electrons becomes sodium chloride. 3 NaClO → 2 NaCl + NaClO3

|Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia|
no-a'-mon (no' 'amon, Egyptian nut, "a city," with the feminine ending t, and Amon, proper name of a god, City Amon, i.e. the "City," paragraph excellence, of the god Amon; translated in the King James Version "populous No," following the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) in a misunderstanding of the word 'amon; the Revised Version (British and American) "No-amon"): Occurs in this form only in Nahum 3:8, but 'amon minno', "Amon of No," occurs in Jeremiah 46:25. Compare also Ezekiel 30:14-16, where no', is undoubtedly the same city.
The description of No-amon in Nahum 3:8 seems to be that of a delta city, but yam, "sea" in that passage is used poetically for the Nile, as in Job 41:31 and in Isaiah 18:2. With this difficulty removed, the Egyptian etymology of the name leaves no doubt as to the correct identification of the place. The "City Amon" in the days of Nahum, Jeremiah and Ezekiel was Thebes (compare the article "Thebes" in any general encyclopedia).
