Carob is a warm-climate tree that grows up to 50 feet in height. Its long, reddish pods contain seeds used as medicine and food. The seed consists of three different parts: the outer husk, the nutritive endosperm (analogous to the white edible portion of the coconut), and the inner seed, or germ. The endosperm is converted to locust bean gum, a thickening agent used in numerous prepared foods. The entire pod, when dried and ground, is called carob powder. Carob powder is used both as a chocolate-like flavoring and as a medicinal substance for treatment of diarrhea.
What is Carob Used for Today?
Carob is rich in insoluble fiber. Like other sources of fiber, carob has shown some promise for improving
profile. In a small (58 participants) double-blind, placebo-controlled study, use of carob powder at a dose of 15 grams daily significantly reduced levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol as compared to placebo.
Carob also contains tannins, astringent substances found in many plants. Foods rich in tannins are often recommended for treatment of diarrhea. (Your mother may have recommended black tea when you came down with diarrhea, on the same principle.) A double-blind clinical trial of 41 infants with diarrhea found that carob powder (at a dose of 1 gram per kilogram per day) significantly speeded resolution of diarrhea as compared to placebo.
The portion of carob that is made into locust bean gum contains soluble fiber in the galactomannan family. Like other forms of soluble fiber, it has shown potential (though not proven) benefit for enhancing
blood sugar levels
Some infants have a tendency to regurgitate after eating. A small double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that use of locust bean gum as a thickening agent significantly reduced the amount and frequency of regurgitation.
A typical dose of carob powder for the treatment of diarrhea or high cholesterol in adults is 15–20 grams daily. The dose is reduced proportionately by weight for treating diarrhea in children. Like other fiber sources, carob should be taken with plenty of water. Note that severe diarrhea in children or infants requires professional medical care.
Carob powder and locust bean gum, as widely consumed foods, are believed to have a high degree of safety. Locust bean gum has been extensively evaluated and found noncarcinogenic and nontoxic.
There are no known risks in pregnant or nursing women.


Inefficiencies in barcode label printing can decrease a company's throughput, resulting in customer dissatisfaction, delays, missed deadlines, fines, and ultimately a significant impact to overall business performance. Today, companies must be able to easily scale and handle high volumes of label throughput accurately and without fail. To efficiently meet these expanding business requirements, it is essential to optimize speed and network efficiency to print labels quickly and efficiently, independent of printer make and model. Implementing an Enterprise Labeling Solution with high-volume global printing capabilities allows companies to optimize their investment in printers, maximize print performance, and scale globally.
This brief Q&A explores printing barcode labels across a global enterprise.
What Challenges Do Companies Encounter When Trying to Address Requirements For HighVolume Global Printing?
There are a host of things you need to consider when addressing high volume global printing, ranging from network throughput and latency, to print speeds, to issues with label and device management, as well as security. When businesses aren't able to print labels at a predetermined or expected speeds, this can mean a disruption and even a stop in production. It also could result in significant downtime, which can cost companies millions and impact customer satisfaction. Also, when faced with printing performance issues and slow production times, companies may need to arrange for more capacity by having multiple different lines for print requests. This undoubtedly increases maintenance and cost for the company.
There are also issues with label management and having to manage a wide range of label templates, as well as device management since there are so many different types of devices involved in label printing today. And, then there is integrating the company's data into the printing process, since that data may not be located in the same place as the printers. Another important challenge is security. When you're dealing with access to data, companies need to think about prevent unauthorized access to data to limit the possibility of making mistakes resulting in mislabeling.
What Capabilities Facilitate High-Volume Global Printing?
The primary one is the ability for LAN based networks to have performance that is similar to that of a WAN based network. What that means is that you can look at a printer that's in Japan from a system in the United States and treat that printer as though it were right next to you. The infrastructure has to support that at the company site, but the labeling solution you use also has to support that concept. It can't look at that printer and say that's some Windows printer on the other side of the world. It has to look like it's right next to you.
Also, browser-based capabilities facilitate global scaling and high volume global printing. With browser-based labeling solutions you don't need to install any client software to be able to use the system. You simply bring your browser up and you're off and running. Also, standardization and the sophisticated integration capabilities today make a single source of truth more accessible to labeling solutions facilitating printing on a global scale.
Network technology is also important. The technology, which offers access on a global level, has developed substantially over the past ten years and continues to evolve. The concept of high-speed VPNs fifteen years ago looked like magic, but today they are commonplace. The idea that today you could have an office in Germany that could simply pull a large file off a drive in the United States in a couple of seconds is amazing. To continue to embrace these technologies and to keep pace with demands of global organizations, companies need to consider an Enterprise Labeling approach to address expanding business requirements for high volume global printing.
How Can an Enterprise Labeling Solution Enable Companies to Meet High-Volume Label Printing Requirements?
I think the functionality of an Enterprise Labeling Solution offers a variety of benefits for high volume printing. First, there's the performance side of it. The solution has got to be fast and it needs to be delivering as little data as possible to get the label printed. Also, it has to be scalable, not just in terms of the number of labels that are being printed but also the number of printers being used. Using an Enterprise Labeling Solution, which offers access to native printer drivers, reduces print streams to minimize network traffic, optimizes print performance and limits maintenance to meet these high volume requirements.
When you can reduce the size of print streams you're able to dramatically increase print speed. It's especially important for remote sites where you want to provide the smallest possible print stream or amount of data to these sites as possible. If you can do this, you can save substantial time and money with your label printing. The key here is to simplify the printing process with fewer moving parts in your labeling solution and enable companies to manage and support a broad set of printers across locations. This ultimately reduces maintenance and management of the printer network, increasing control and ensuring consistency. It also makes it easier to scale your labeling solution as demand increases, which can result in significant cost savings.
Enterprise Labeling Solutions utilize modern, multi-tier architectures to offer a standardized and centralized way of managing labels throughout a global supply chain. Companies are able to access data from their systems of record or their sources of truth, and have that data available at the right spot so that label printing can be done efficiently with the correct data. When a company adds a new location, a division, or even does an acquisition, the increased labeling can be managed centrally, reducing maintenance and limiting the need for additional resources throughout multiple regions, creating substantial savings for the company. Also, the approach allows controls over the quality of what's being printed which is especially critical in a validated environment. From a global standpoint an Enterprise Labeling Solution lets you manage what you're doing from one location and still print anywhere.

The invention of LTFS has indeed made life a lot easier for most organizations which used to face problems with magnetic storage tapes. These tapes did not allow the users to store the related metadata in an easily accessible manner. But with the introduction of Linear Tape File System, the scenario has changed for the better.
How has LTFS Revolutionized Data Archiving?
- This new technology from IBM has helped in reducing costs related to archiving and data storage.
- Easy access is what has made this technology different from the older magnetic tapes storage system.
- Data can be used and stored since you can access it across many different mediums and platforms.
- The universal nature of the media makes it more attractive to users across the globe.
- What's more is that you can use this as a USB drive. You just need an LTO-5 drive to upload the LTFS tape onto it. Then you can mount the tape on the file system.
- It allows you to tag files using any text. This in turn enables you, as a user, to run searches which are much more intuitive. Hence, you can search the LTO-5 tape libraries as well as the drives more comprehensively.
- This technology consumes less energy too.
- The data is encrypted and hence it ensures better data security.
- The data which is stored on an LTO-5 tape is automatically protected from issues like erasures and over-writings which are done with a malicious intent.
- The simple drag and drop feature of files storage makes LTFS easy to use and apply.
So for active archiving which is low-cost and high on the reliable factor, LTFS is the way to go.
Active Archiving is a combination process which blends tape as well as disk hardware to offer data storage with many important advantages. Active Archiving is a collaboration between both the hardware as well as the software vendors. LTFS is a preferred option with most manufacturers who are offering archiving solutions. Some of the best known names include IBM and HP.
For organizations which need large data storage facilities and are wary of issues like software malfunctions, illegal data access, natural calamities, which cause breakdown of storage systems and make data recovery impossible, Linear Tape File System has a solution. Companies which adopt this system will not have to worry about complex data management, large scale data storage or response times.
To install the Linear Tape File System, all you need is a drive firmware level to offer dual partitioning support. You also require a software which you can download; this software includes the run-time executable which helps you write files on an LTO-5 tape, in the LTFS format. This system is available for both Linux as well as MacOS.

connected age is the use of web-based communication tools to create and manage relationships across knowledge goods, hardware and people." This seemingly subtle shift in technology is manifested in one of the most important developments in decorative surface material manufacturing: cross product matching programs.
After a quick and revolutionary history over the past 100 years, we're now seeing decorative designs available across a broad range of surface materials and manufacturers thanks to these matching programs. This allows designers to value-engineer end products based on the specific performance demands of each component, ensuring the highest quality in design, value and durability. For example, matched materials can be used to construct a desk that incorporates printed papers in drawer and cabinet interiors, TFM or printed paper for the vertical exterior panels, HPL on the high-wear horizontal work surface and 3DL for contoured drawer fronts. Despite each of these materials' unique performance characteristics, they share the same visual. Matching programs make it easier for design professionals to maximize performance and cost without sacrificing design integrity.
The next age is hard to predict, but it starts with a better understanding of the basic materials in use today.

There have been many reports of people being investigated and busted for marijuana cultivation because their homes were monitored with an Infrared Heat Sensing Device.
It works like this; If the authorities suspect someone is cultivating marijuana, they set up surveillance of the home or building and use an infrared camera to measure the amount of heat radiating off the structure. They then compare the targeted structure to surrounding buildings or homes to gauge what they think should be the normal amount of heat emitted from a particular structure.
In some parts of Europe, the authorities don't even wait for a lead from an informant to give them the heads up, on possible marijuana grow operations. They simply take to the air and use their high-tech surveillance cameras and scan the roofs and walls of homes in residential areas and buildings. If a home is identified as possible marijuana grow operation because of the heat radiating off the structure, that home or building becomes the target of further investigation and possibly a raid.
Using an HID lamp will emit too much heat that could be inspected by infrared camera. Now, LED grow light could deal with very well because it is a cool light source which makes authorities can not find what you do inside. So more and more growers are replacing their HID lamp by LED grow light.

A key feature of the Migrate module is the tracking of relationships between source records and the Drupal objects that have been created from them. This tracking is managed by the map classes - the abstract class MigrateMap and the concrete class MigrateSQLMap.
MigrateMap defines the API to be provided by concrete map classes (and, in hindsight, really should have been a PHP interface rather than abstract class). While in theory different representations of the map and message data could be implemented, in practice MigrateSQLMap (described below) is the only known implementation, so we will focus on usage of that class.
MigrateSQLMap maintains two tables for each defined migration - a map table and a message table. For each source record that is processed by the import function (whether or not it is successfully imported), a row in the migration's map table is added, keyed by the source record's unique ID. If import of the record was successful, the unique ID of the resulting Drupal object is also stored there. Thus, we know what Drupal objects have been created via migration (thus which ones can be rolled back), and when updating imported content we know what source records to update it from. And, critically, when migrating relationships between objects, we can use the map table to rewrite those relationships so they are properly maintained on the Drupal side.
Usually, in developing migrations you only need to worry about constructing the map object in your migration constructor:
 $source_key = array(
 'pgid' => array('type' => 'int',
 'unsigned' => TRUE,
 'not null' => TRUE,
 'description' => t('Source ID'),
 $this->map = new MigrateSQLMap($this->machineName, $source_key,
 MigrateDestinationNode::getKeySchema(), 'legacy', array('track_last_imported' => TRUE));
The constructor parameters are:
 1. Machine name - this may actually be any string, but is usually the machine name of the migration. This string will be appended to migrate_map_ and migrate_message_ to form the map and message table names. If your migration machine names are very long, you may prefer to pass a shorter string here.
 2. A Drupal schema definition for the source key - that is, a field or set of fields that is unique for each distinct record to be imported from the source. The keys (pgid in the example above) must correspond to fields in the raw data - Migrate will pull the values (e.g., $row->pgid) to save as the source IDs in the map and message tables.
 3. A Drupal schema definition for the destination key - that is, a field or set of fields that is unique for each Drupal object (such as uid for users, nid, for nodes, etc.). While you need to build this array by hand for the source key, because Migrate knows nothing about the legacy data, in this case the destination object usually knows the correct Drupal schema and you can call its getKeySchema() method to obtain it.
 4. Connection key - this identifies the Drupal database connection where the map and message tables should be created and referenced. It defaults to 'default' - the Drupal database itself - but could be set to another connection, in particular the source connection for MigrateSourceSQL migrations. The advantage of this is that if the map table is on the same connection as the source data, the MigrateSourceSQL class can speed things up by adding the map table to the source query.
 5. Options array - you can pass array('track_last_imported' => TRUE) to have the map table track the last time imported for each individual row. There is currently no builtin feature for displaying or using this information in Migrate, but the data is available for querying the table directly. Also, you may set array('cache_map_lookups' => TRUE) to have lookups of source or destination IDs against the map table be statically cached, which can help performance on sites with a large volume of relationships.
The map and message tables are lazily created by the MigrateSQLMap constructor - if the map table does not exist when the constructor is called, both tables are created based on the source and destination key parameters. It is important to understand that if you change the schema you pass to the constructor - for example, you decide that the source key must be a varchar rather than an int - the tables are not automatically changed. In this instance, you must make sure the migration is fully rolled back and manually drop the map and message tables so they can be recreated with the new schema.

This has tripped me up on three different migrations so I figured I'd add a note. As discussed in, if you get a database warning about ambiguous keys you may need to add an alias to the source key definition. The alias it is looking for is the primary table alias. For example, if you're migrating from an older drupal database and your source query's primary table is "node" with an alias of "n", then your source key alias would be "n".
 // Set the mapping
 $source_key = array(
 'nid' => array(
 'type' => 'int',
 'unsigned' => TRUE,
 'not null' => TRUE,
 'alias' => 'n',
 $this->map = new MigrateSQLMap(

App Tracking Transparency on Apple devices
How to respond to tracking requests in iOS, iPadOS and tvOS 14.5 — or opt out of app tracking completely.
What is App Tracking Transparency, and should you allow apps to track your activity in iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS?
So, you've downloaded the latest Candy Ninja: Battle Royale to while away a couple of hours on your iPhone or iPad, but the first thing you see when you open the app is a prompt: "Allow "Candy Ninja" to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?" What exactly does that mean? What's the risk? What are the benefits? And why didn't your friend get that notification on their iPhone?
What is App Tracking Transparency?
Apple is always saying how much it values user privacy and data confidentiality. Within that paradigm, in January 2021, the developers of iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS promised that version 14.5 and later of these systems would support App Tracking Transparency.
For users, that means any app that uses device identifiers for advertising purposes, which Apple calls identifiers for advertisers (IDFA), must clearly explain why it does so and explicitly ask the user's permission. That permission request looks like this:
Tracking requests in iOS 14.5: "Allow App to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?"
Tracking requests in iOS 14.5: "Allow App to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?"
According to Apple, the request should clarify the relationship between app developers and device owners. If a hypothetical flashlight app or social network client collects information about your actions and passes it on to advertisers, allowing them to link it to you, you should not only know, but also be able to opt out.
Opting out does not affect app performance, so there's no downside in rejecting tracking requests. On the other hand, even if tracking is disabled, you'll still see ads; they just won't be personalized.
Responding to app tracking requests in iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS
To stop advertising networks from tracking you through iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS apps, select the Ask App Not to Track option each time you see the prompt.
If for some reason you prefer personalized ads or want to support developers in that way, choose Allow.
Getting rid of app tracking requests altogether
If you don't want to be bothered by tracking requests, you can turn them off completely. That is, opt out of tracking in all apps once and for all. It's easy to do:
 - Go to open Settings;
 - Scroll down to Privacy;
 - Open Tracking;
 - Switch off the Allow Apps to Request to Track toggle.
Why don't I see tracking requests on my Apple devices?
IDFA used to be handled under Apple Advertising -> Personalized Ads, which can still be found in the iOS privacy settings. If you turned off personalized ads at some point, Allow Apps to Request to Track was set to off by default. If you're not seeing tracking requests, that's probably why.
Apple versus targeting
Advertisers lie awake at night worrying about users turning off tracking. Some developers, such as those on Snapchat's team, are already working on ways to get around App Tracking Transparency, which in theory would allow them to keep profiling devices and their owners.
The changes are good for users, who can choose, among other things, whether to share private details and with whom. Another positive sign for consumers: The more platforms fret about data protection, the less likely our digital fingerprints are to fall into the wrong hands (no pun intended).
For non-Apple users who don't like nosy apps, we offer more options for safeguarding your online privacy.

A space is $F_\sigma$-discrete space if it is the countable union of closed discrete subspaces. Is it true that every subset of an $F_\sigma$-discrete space is of the type $G_\delta$?

The answer is yes. Suppose that $X$ is an $F_\sigma$ space as you have defined it, so that $X=\bigcup_n X_n$, where each $X_n$ is a closed discrete space. Suppose that $Y\subset X$ is any subset. For each $n$, note that $X_n-Y$ is closed in the discrete space $X_n$ and hence also closed in $X$, and so the complement $U_n=X-(X_n-Y)$ is open in $X$. Furthermore, $\bigcap_n U_n=Y$, since $Y\subset U_n$ and anything not in $Y$ is in some $X_n$ and hence thrown out of that $U_n$. So $Y$ is a countable intersection of open sets and hence $G_\delta$.
share|improve this answer
Yes, since closed discrete sets are hereditarily closed. Let $X$ be the space and $E_n$ the closed discrete sets, so $X = \bigcup\limits_{n=1}^\infty E_n$. Then given $S \subseteq X$, each $E_n \setminus S$ is still closed, so $S = \bigcap\limits_{n=1}^\infty (E_n \setminus S)^\complement$ shows that $S$ is a $G_\delta$.

Title: The Regulation of DNA Repair by Epigenetics and Epitranscriptomics
Abstract: DNA repair is crucial to maintaining the health and integrity of cells. Damage that is allowed to persist within the DNA may aid in the formation of diseases such as cancer. It is therefore crucial that proteins involved in DNA repair are functional. ALKBH3 is a protein involved in the repair and removal of alkylation damage and improperly located methyl groups on DNA and RNA. Recently we published that ALKBH3 is being epigenetically silenced in a portion of breast tumors in Iceland. In order to explore any functional consequence of this silencing we performed experiments through which we uncovered a previously unknown role in the regulation of a key DNA repair protein crucial for effective DNA double-strand break repair. Currently we are looking into how ALKBH3 is regulating this protein. Our data suggests that ALKBH3 is regulating biochemical marks on the mRNA of this DNA double-strand break repair protein. This type of regulation of a DNA repair protein could be a novel addition to the field of DNA repair and could provide valuable insight into personalized treatment for cancer patients.

Survey of Otter Tail County, Minnesota
History and Geomorphology
Continental glaciation formed the
landscapes of Otter Tail County. Bedrock
in Otter Tail County is covered by 200 to
more than 400 feet of Wisconsin glacial
deposits. Glaciers moving as lobate rivers
of ice advanced across the survey area many
times and from several different directions.
The present landscapes of Otter Tail County
began to take shape during the early and
middle parts of the Wisconsin Glaciation.
The geomorphic landforms in Otter Tail County
are drumlin fields, stagnation moraines,
till plains, pitted outwash plains, kame
moraines, and glacial lake plains (Hobbs
and Goebel, 1982).
showing the extent of Lake Agassiz at the
times of formation of the Fergus Falls and
Leaf Hills moraines (click for larger image)
The Wadena Drumlin Field fans out across
Wadena, Todd, Cass, Hubbard, Becker, and
Otter Tail Counties of Minnesota. This geomorphic
area represents the oldest landscape in
Otter Tail County. Radiocarbon dating of
organic silts and lake sediments suggests
that the drumlins are about 30,000 to 60,000
years old (Wright, 1972).
In Otter Tail County, the drumlins are in
the northeast corner and near the Todd and
Wadena County lines south of the Leaf River.
The Wadena Drumlin Field consists of a series
of low, smooth, elongated oval hills and
broad, nearly level depressions that are
oriented from east to west. The fanlike
shape of the drumlin field suggests that
ice moved from the northeast.
There are two main theories regarding the
formation of the drumlins. Studies of pebble
lithology and carbonate content suggest
that glacial till moved southeastward from
the Winnipeg Lowlands into northern Minnesota.
This movement was diverted by another glacial
lobe advancing from the east (Wright, 1962).
A more recent study, however, suggests that
pre-late Wisconsin glacial ice that advanced
from the Keewatin ice center that is now
called the Winnipeg Lobe (formerly identified
as the Wadena Lobe) was laid down before
the drumlins by an older Rainy Lobe source
from the northeast. Thus the Wadena Drumlin
Field resulted from a progressive mixing
of glacial till from a northeastern source,
and ice lobes and flows molded the drumlins
When the Wadena or Winnipeg Lobe advanced
from the east and northeast across the county,
it formed the core of the Alexandria Moraine
and the Wadena Drumlin Field. Later readvances
of the Wadena Lobe occurred about 20,000
The coarse-loamy till of the Wadena or Winnipeg
Lobe is characterized by less than 18 percent
clay and more than 50 percent sand (Anderson,
1976). The Alexandria Moraine Complex consists
of stagnation moraines. These stagnation
moraines formed at the outer edges of a
glacial lobe. There are also some smaller
areas of stagnation moraine in the eastern
half of the county. Stagnation moraine landscapes
have a complicated pattern of soil materials.
Although they are mostly made up of glacial
till, some are local deposits of outwash
and water-laid sediments. The moraines are
typically the highest in elevation, have
the greatest relief, and are commonly hilly.
There are many small to large ice-block
basins in stagnation moraines that now contain
lakes or marshes. Ice-walled lakes formed
when pits in the stagnant ice on the Alexandria
Moraine filled with water-laid sediments.
Later, as the ice melted, the surrounding
landscape collapsed and the lake bottom
became what is now the hilltop (Clayton
and Cherry, 1967).
The stagnation moraines in Otter Tail County
were formed by ice advances from both the
Wadena or Winnipeg Lobe and the Des Moines
Lobe. The Altamont Moraine in Otter Tail
County is the portion of the Alexandria
Moraine that was overridden by the Des Moines
Lobe glacial drift. About 14,000 years ago,
the Des Moines Lobe advanced to the south
across Manitoba, where it incorporated limestone
rocks. As the glacial lobe moved south along
the Red River Lowland, shale-rich materials
derived from Cretaceous rock were mixed
into the till fabric (Sackreiter, 1975).
The Des Moines Lobe continued to spread
east into Otter Tail County onto the Alexandria
Moraine and southeast along the moraine.
Before it retreated, the Des Moines Lobe
left behind the Big Stone Moraine, which
is also referred to as the Fergus Falls
Till Plain (University of Minnesota, 1969).
The fine-loamy till of the Des Moines Lobe
is characterized by more than 18 percent
clay, typically less than 50 percent sand,
and a high content of shale.
The Henning Till Plain was formed behind
the advancing front of the glacial ice of
the Wadena or Winnipeg Lobe and the Des
Moines Lobe. The till plain has generally
low or moderate relief and is typically
gently undulating. In places, especially
south and west of New York Mills, the till
was deposited over older outwash deposits.
Thus, in some areas on the Henning Till
Plain, the till ranges from about 3 feet
to more than 10 feet thick over outwash.
Also on the till plain, glacial meltwaters
flowing under the ice of the Wadena Lobe
formed a few eskers. The large volumes of
meltwater pouring east and south off the
Wadena and Des Moines Lobes left extensive
outwash plains. This outwash area formed
the Detroit Lakes Pitted Outwash Plain in
the central part of the county. Pitted outwash
plains are characterized by many small to
large ice-block basins that now contain
lakes or marshes. The areas of the Detroit
Lakes Pitted Outwash Plain adjacent to the
Alexandria Moraine are described as kame
moraines in the county.
The landforms and topography of the kame
moraine are similar to those of the stagnation
moraine, except that the parent material
is outwash. Meltwater sediments flowing
eastward from the Henning Till Plain and
southward from the Itasca Moraine Complex
formed the Park Rapids-Staples Outwash Plain.
The Redeye and Leaf Rivers were major meltwater
channels flowing eastward. Water flowage
was blocked in an area near Pillager, resulting
in the formation of Glacial Lake Wadena.
Meltwater and sediment were redirected along
a meltwater channel toward Parkers Prairie.
Eventually the blockage at the Pillager
gap was broken, and meltwaters from the
Des Moines and Wadena Lobes exited eastward
through the gap into the Crow Wing River.
Section across the Red River Valley
on the latitude of Breckenridge and
9,000 to 12,000 years ago, tremendous volumes
of meltwater accumulated to form Glacial Lake
Agassiz. Lake Agassiz was more than 360 feet
deep and covered more than 120,000 square
miles in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Canada.
It was formed when the normal northward flow
of water in the Red River Valley was blocked
by the Des Moines glacial ice lobe. As water
higher, Glacial Lake Agassiz developed an
outlet to the south near Browns Valley. A
succession of beach ridges formed, marking
stable lake levels. The Herman Beach marks
the highest stable level of Lake Agassiz.
It runs along the eastern edge of the Lake
Agassiz Plain in Otter Tail County. When the
Des Moines glacial lobe retreated, the water
in the Red River Valley could once again flow
north and Lake Agassiz drained away (Elson,
The most recent deposits in the survey area
are not glacial in origin. They consist of
alluvial sediments on flood plains and lakeshores.
Organic material and limnic sediments in lakes
and depressions are estimated to have accumulated
about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago (Norton, 1982).


Spiritual but not religious suffer more mental-health issues: Study
Spiritual but not religious people tend to emphasize individual freedom and the sacredness of nature. But a new British study suggests vulnerability to mental health issues.
It's not a good-news study for British Columbians and other residents of the Pacific Northwest, where the "spiritual but not religious" trend is strong, perhaps even dominant.
A scholarly study out of Britain has concluded that people who say they're spiritual but not religious (SBNRs) are significantly more inclined to mental-health problems, addictions and abnormal eating habits.
SBNR people tend to reject institutions of all kinds, especially religious. They practise private spirituality, often blending beliefs and practices from different traditions.
RELATED: "Is religion passe?" (First of two parts)
"Secularization is the best thing that ever happened to religion"
Spiritual but not religious: Over-confident?
The study was published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, based on a government-sponsored survey of more than 7,000 Britons. Michael King, a professor at University College London was the head researcher on the project.
Here is an excerpt from a CNN account:
…. In short, Michael King writes, "People who have a spiritual understanding of life in the absence of a religious framework are vulnerable to mental disorder."
With a sample of 7,403 British people, the study found that nearly 19% of England's population is spiritual but not religious. That number is higher in the United States, where, according to a 2002 Gallup Poll, in a sample of 729 adults, 33% of Americans identified themselves as "spiritual but not religious." (Women are more likely than men, according to the Pew Forum, to identify as SBNRs.)
According to Luhrmann, organized religion provides three outlets that benefit churchgoers' well being: social support, attachment to a loving God and the organized practice of prayer.
The spiritual but not religious phenomenon is one I studied in the book I edited, Cascadia: The Elusive Utopia – Exploring the Spirit of the Pacific Northwest (Ronsdale)

Z score is a representation in statistics of the amount of standard deviations data that is above or below the average. Calculating the z score by hand can be time-consuming and complicated, but it can be easily found using a sophisticated calculator like the TI-83. The TI-83 is a calculator equipped to perform many functions, including one named invNorm (p) that computes a z score value when cumulative probabilities are given.
Press the "2nd" button and then press the "VARS" button. Using the down arrow, scroll to 3:invNormal( and press "enter."
Input your known probability in decimal form and add a parenthesis. For example, if your probability is 80, then input.8. On the screen it would look like: invNorm(.8)
Press "enter." This will give you the z score to four decimal places.

The classifier.htm">spiral separator is one of the numerous water conservancy classification equipments, a kind of mechanical classifier with the structure of elevating and conveying desilting. According to the spiral numbers, it can be divided into two types, one is single-spiral classifier, and the other is double spiral classifier. According to the height of the downflow weir, it can be further sorted into high weir type, low weir type as well as immersed weir type. As for the specification of the spiral separator, it can be presented by its spiral number and the spiral.
Henan Hongxing Mining Machinery Co., Ltd. is a professional spiral separator manufacturer, with decades experience and advanced technology. Now, our engineer will give you a brief introduction about the spiral separator to make our customers know the spiral separator better.
Spiral separator refers to a device for separating slurry components by density, or a device for sorting particles by shape. It has been widely used in coal choosing industry to sort the crude slime in 0.15~3mm level since the beginning of 1990s, especially in some coal-producing countries, such as China, America, Australia, and so on. Usually, the spiral separator can be divided into two types, the wet spiral separator and the dry spiral separator.
Spiral classifier is one of the beneficiation equipments. According to the different proportion of solid particles, the rate of precipitation in the liquid is also different. Spiral classifier concentrates fine ore based on the principle. After grinding, the materials will pass through filter, through which the coarse materials will return to ball mill and the fine ore will be discharged from the overflow pipe.
Generally, the spiral classifier matches with ball mill to form a closed circuits and used for ore concentrating. When used in the gravity concentrator, the match can also grades ore and fine mud, and particle size classification in metal slurry beneficiation processes. Besides, this set of spiral classifier and ball mill is used in washing off mud and dehydration. The machine is simple structure, reliable and easy to operate.

Most linguists recognize two tenses in English, present and past, although other verb forms are often mistakenly described as tenses. I walk is present tense and I walked is past tense. A form such as I am walking would be described not as the present progressive tense, but as a construction expressing progressive aspect, and made up of the present tense of be and the –ing form of walk. In other words, to qualify as a tense, an English verb form has to show inflectional variation.
Books for foreign learners of German, in my experience, describe as tenses all finite verb forms, even though only the present and imperfect show inflectional variation.
Here's my question: Do German professional linguists also describe all verb forms as tenses, or do they recognize that Ich bin gegangen, for example, is best understood in terms of aspect?

Who says it's mistaken. These are called "compound tenses". I think you're confusing tense and inflection. Even languages with no inflection at all can have tense. But maybe I'm just having trouble reading what you're trying to say? – hippietrail Nov 21 '11 at 9:13
Another point is that tense is only one property of verbs which affect inflection. Other properties are mood and voice and person and number. This is what makes inflecting languages different to agglutinating languages. For some reason though it seems very common that people misinterpret "tense" to mean "inflected form of a verb". They are related but distinct. – hippietrail Nov 21 '11 at 9:15

Unfortunately I am not a linguist and thus am unable to scientifically answer your question but let me try to give you my humble understanding of the linguistic concept of aspect in German grammar.
Like in English German has only a limited morphological spectrum for flexion of verbs, these include the tenses "Präsens", and "Präteritum".
Im Deutschen werden nur einige wenige Flexionsmerkmale des Verbs rein morphologisch (d.h. in einfachen Verbformen) ausgedrückt, so beim Tempus etwa nur Präsens und Präteritum. Das Deutsche hat also kein morphologisches Perfekt, Plusquamperfekt oder Futur. Auch das Passiv wird syntaktisch gebildet.Hilbrig. Grammatik der deutschen Gegenwartssprache. Verben
According to this building other tenses, and (linguistic) aspect is done by using syntactic constructions:
Ich gehe - I go
Ich ging - I went
Ich bin gegangen - I am gone
Ich werde gehen - I will go
When buliding an aspect of a continued process like it is done in the English -ing form we may add e.g. an adverb:
Ich ging gerade zur Tür hinaus, als...
An aspect may also be generated by using a different tense but this may only be done with verbs that make such a distinction possibleP. Eisenberg: Grundriß der deutschen Grammatik
Es regnete - some indefinite time in the past
Es hat geregnet - in the past from the spoken time view
However if the verb is by meaning a self-limiting pocess like in
Der Luftballon platzte
Der Luftballon ist geplatzt
the aspectual distinction is no longer given and both tenses are interchangeable in the sense of aspect.

Thank you. I think that's about as close an explanation of the position as we're likely to get within the constraints of a discussion such as this. – Barrie England Nov 20 '11 at 15:58
_USER_: There are libraries written on that matter ;) – Takkat Nov 20 '11 at 18:01
I have no doubt! – Barrie England Nov 20 '11 at 18:20
I'm not sure if this answers your question, because I'm not sure what you mean with "aspect" in this context. Just let me say it is handled a little bit different in German:
A tense in German is called "Zeitform" or "Tempus" (plural: Tempora).
We have the following Tempora in German:
Präsens, Präsensperfekt, Präteritum, Präteritumperfekt, Futur, Futurperfekt
Three of them are "Grundtempora" (base tenses, what comes closer to the definition of "tense" in English):
Präsens, Präteritum, Futur
The others are called "Perfekttempora". They are constructed with "haben" or "sein".
To avoid misunderstandings let me also add, that a (real) progressive form does not exist in German; neither an imperfect.

German linguists, then, unlike English linguists, perhaps describe tense in terms of meaning rather than form. – Barrie England Nov 20 '11 at 15:56

Thanks, _USER_. – John Smithers Nov 21 '11 at 10:14
I have published some papers in computational linguistics and I'm familiar with the literature on tense. First of all, you are right. There are indeed some linguists that do spend time with the distinction between primary tense represented by a word form such as "am" in "I am here" and primary tense represented by an auxiliary as "am" in "I am cooking", and treat these two representations as two different but related linguistic phenomena under the names of "tense" and "aspect". This group of linguists tends to be seen by their peers as "the formalists/structuralists", this distinction being one of many symptoms of caring more about word form and structure than about the meanings that these forms and structures represent.
Other linguists such as Halliday and Matthiessen (Halliday's Introduction to Functional Linguistics, 2014) prefer to organize the contrastive options of language as systems of options. In this sense, for relational processes such as being and having, there are three primary tenses in English: "I was here", "I am here", "I will be here". For action processes such as cooking, the primary present tense has an auxiliary that is not needed for relational processes: "I cooked", "I am cooking", "I will cook". "I cook", on the other hand, represents a habit and, as a consequence, a capability. It represents, therefore, not only a present tense, but also habitualness. "I am going to cook" and "I am about to cook" are other two ways in which the primary future tense is realized in English. There is, however, the possibility of representing a "secondary tense", that is, to represent the time of an action not directly in relation to now, but in relation to another time, that in its turn is relative to now. That is the reason why we can say "I told him, I had cooked", "I told him, I was cooking", and "I told him, I would (was going to/was about to) cook". Linguists that organize occurring wordings in terms of systems of options are known as "systemicists/functionalists" and tend to prefer the terms "primary tense"/"secondary tense" to "tense"/"aspect" in order to avoid confusion with the terminology of formalists/structuralists. But as everything in a society, these are tendencies and trends and never absolutes. You will find for sure formalists/structuralists that use "primary/secondary tense" and functionalists/systemicists that use "tense/aspect". And my short explanation above of what is discussed in linguistics includes only two of many uses of such terms.
This being said, if you want to write about tense in German, I would advise you to state the definition of your terminology either in a formal/structural or in a systemic/functional way. As a tip, if you are making a corpus study, you should pay attention to the fact that it is the past tense in German that tends to be represented by a word form for relational processes such as "war" in "ich war hier" and "hatte" in "ich hatte eine Katze" and by an auxiliary for action processes such as "war" in "ich war einkaufen" and "habe" in "ich habe eingekauft". Another tip is to notice that German has a primary past tense and a primary non-past tense. Future and present tenses are refinements of the non-past tense. In other words, the future primary tenses of "ich werde/gehe kochen" and "ich koche sofort/gleich/bald" are refinements of the non-past primary tense of "ich koche".
However, if you are just learning the language, do not let grammatical terminology get in the way of you learning what the wordings mean. And a good reason for not making a big deal out of grammatical terminology is that it is absolutely irrelevant whether "habe" in "ich habe das getan" is called "perfect tense" or "present tense + perfect aspect" or "finite primary-past auxiliary" when you speak or


Where the world comes to study the Bible
Lesson 9: Priscilla
Related Media
Women such as Priscilla were important in the early spread of Christianity. Priscilla is never mentioned apart from her husband, Aquila, in the Scriptures. In Christian marriage, ideally, men and women are equal as persons, but different in function. Priscilla and Aquila welcomed Paul into their hearts and home, to live with them and work with them making tents. Paul established them in the doctrines of the faith, and they, in turn, taught others such as Apollos. Priscilla was intelligent, hospitable, and articulate. Her use of her gifts to nurture the church in its infancy is an inspiration to us today.
Study Questions
Read Acts 18.
 1. Study a map of Bible times to familiarize yourself with the travels of this couple. Locate Pontus, Rome, Corinth and Ephesus.
 2. What did Priscilla and Aquila have in common with Paul? What did they offer him? How long was he with them? How do you think they benefited from their relationship with him?
 3. What was the climate of Acts 18? How did the Jews in Corinth respond to the Gospel? The Gentiles? v. 4-8 What did the preaching of the Gospel result in for Paul? v.12-13
 4. What kind of pressure do you think may have been brought to bear on Priscilla and Aquila because of their association with Paul? What effect could this have had on their livelihood? What choice did they make? v. 18 Have you ever taken a stand for an unpopular cause because it was right? Was there any cost to you? Any blessing?
 5. Acts 18:24-28. Describe Apollos. What were his strengths? His weakness? What does this incident tell us about Priscilla and Aquila? Note their attitude and approach. What could they have done instead? What is the significance of the word they in v. 26?
 6. To see the importance of their influence briefly describe what became of Apollos. v. 27-28; 1 Cor. 1:12; 3:5-6, 22; 4:6; 16:12; Titus 3:13.
 7. Read Acts 19. Paul returned to Ephesus and probably stayed with them again. How long?
 v. 10 What was the effect of the Gospel on Ephesus? How do you think Priscilla and Aquila responded to the controversy here?
 8. Paul wrote 1 Corinthians from Ephesus. He mentions this couple in 16:19. What were they doing? How was their home being used?
 9. Romans 16:3-5. What does Paul call them here? What do you think he referred to when he said they risked their lives for me? Why should all the churches be grateful to them? What were they doing in Rome?
 10. 2 Timothy 4:19. This is Paul's last letter. What does his mention of them tell us about them?
 11. What do you think their marriage was like? What is suggested by the fact that her name is mentioned first four times out of six? What kind of man do you think Aquila was? What was the scope of their influence? Do you and your husband have common goals for ministry?
 12. Rom 12:13; 1Tim. 3:2; 5:10; Heb 13:2; 1 Peter 4:9. What is commanded in these verses about the use of our homes? Have you given your home to God for Him to use for the advance of the Gospel?

Why you should think twice about cosmetic surgery abroad
Each year, thousands of Americans travel abroad for cosmetic surgery, enticed by very low surgical fees. Slick all-inclusive packages offer airfare, multiple cosmetic procedures, hotel accommodations, private duty nursing, and meals for one amazing low price. So hard to resist, especially when the cost is literally a fraction of cosmetic surgery fees charged here in the U.S. However, there are many reasons not to leave the country for your elective surgery. So what is Cosmetic Tourism, Gorgeous Getaway or Hellacious Holiday? Let's look at the facts.
The reason for the significant price discrepancy is because most of these cosmetic destinations are located in very poor countries where overhead and labor costs are minimal. Unfortunately, so are the laws, regulations and oversight of their surgeons and facilities! While there are qualified plastic surgeons in every country, it is difficult to locate those doctors and facilities that are safe. The surgeon's training, experience and track record are so important when selecting a doctor, here or abroad. Foreign vetting services can be shady, and are usually glorified tourism associations or travel agents.
Issues like substandard sterilization and/or protocols, resistant bacteria, counterfeit medications and nonexistent or ineffective regulation of doctors and/or facilities have led to numerous serious complications and even death. Recently, a 36 year old Atlanta resident died after liposuction and breast augmentation in her home country of Colombia.
Another matter is follow-up care. Most surgeons insist on stringent short-term, and when possible, long-term postoperative care to optimize chances for the best result. Complications like postoperative infection or healing issues occur in the best of hands, in the U.S. or abroad. The key to minimizing problems from complications is early recognition and action. Hard to accomplish when your surgeon is thousands of miles away.
Sometimes revisions are needed after cosmetic surgery to fine tune the result, correct minor asymmetry or fix problems caused by complications like infection or wound healing. It is usually necessary to wait at least 6 months before revision surgery can be tackled. Options include trekking back to the original surgeon or finding one nearby, creating new costs. Blood clots from the legs traveling to the lungs are an issue for all types of surgery. Numerous precautions are taken before and after operations because this complication can be life-threatening. Flying can increase the risk of blood clots. Flying after surgery, especially long distances, further increase those risks!
My Plastic Surgery practice is in NYC, gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America. I have been called upon too many times to treat complications incurred during cosmetic tourism ranging from minor wound healing issues to devastating infections and questionable surgical technique. Treatment involved admission to the hospital, IV antibiotics, and surgery to correct deformities and asymmetry. Each individual I have treated was seduced by the low fees, and each one regretted their decision to travel abroad for their surgery. It is true that some people have journeyed abroad and enjoyed successful outcomes without problems or injury. The question you must ask yourself is this; is it worth the risk? Please do your homework!

suspended until the server problem is diagnosed and resolved. High Availability
solutions are designed for computing installations that require critical applications to be
automatically and seamlessly restarted in the event of server failure, ensuring that data
remains accessible and that applications be kept running, even during a prolonged failure
of the second and third tiers of a client/server implementation.
When considering a High Availability solution, one often thinks of expensive and custom
hardware, and sophisticated, costly application design. But the more practical and robust
High Availability GIS implementation is a combination of commercial off-the-shelf
(COTS) hardware and software, and multiple instances of hardware (redundant standard
servers, storage, and network adapters) and shared data (RAID). Such a combination
enables recovery from failure of any critical component.
Consider the following analogy: A farmer has a sled that must be pulled across the
country, and can choose between using one horse or several dogs to do the pulling.
Assuming either choice would provide sufficient power to do the job, is either preferable?
If one of the farmer's requirements is that the sled always keep moving, then the
"multiple dog" choice is better. If one dog becomes disabled, the remaining ones can
work a bit harder, even though the sled may move a bit more slowly until the one dog
recovers or is replaced. On the other hand, if the one horse becomes disabled, the sled
will go nowhere for the duration. One less than the optimum number of dogs is better
than no horse!
When configuring a computing environment to run an enterprise's set of applications, a
similar decision must be made regarding appropriate systems: one "large" one, or
multiple "smaller" ones. While there are valid reasons for both approaches, a High
Availability environment is strongly biased toward the "multiple smaller server"
approach. Even when one smaller system fails, the application environment is still
available to the users as long as the surviving servers cooperate and take on the work of
the failed one.
Indeed, the multiple servers can work both cooperatively – when one server fails, the
survivors take on the workload of their failed counterpart; and independently – under
normal circumstances, each is running its own set of applications or serving its own set of
users. In the eventuality of failure, the software component of a High Availability
solution can detect the failure and automatically impose the cooperation – those
applications running on the failed server are started up on ("failed over" to) the surviving
servers, and those users connected to those applications are switched over as well.
The multiplicity of servers, and the software that enables the cooperation among them, is
known as clustering, and should be implemented at both the middle and back tiers of a
three-tier client/server configuration for complete High Availability. Rather than
implement a mission-critical GIS on a hardware platform that incurred the engineering
cost of fault-tolerant design, an organization can much more economically configure its
GIS on a cluster of two (or more) standard, inexpensive and cooperating servers. In the
event of failure on one node, the surviving nodes can take on the workload of the failed
system until the problem is diagnosed and resolved.
Since the nodes of a cluster are typically configured to run independent workloads under
normal circumstances, the nodes are not merely redundant. Thus an additional benefit of
clustering, besides providing the basis of an affordable High Availability solution, is
scalability: an organization can add members to a cluster over time to run the enterprise's
various tasks and meet its computing needs. (A farmer can add more dogs to pull a
heavier sled, or to pull the same sled faster, or temporarily to pull the same sled up a
And the benefits of scaling are cyclic: the more nodes in a cluster, the better the
performance of the cluster after a system failure. When one system fails in a two-node
configuration, the survivor must take on, in addition to its own normal workload, 100%
of the load of those applications on the failed server that have been set up as being highly
available. In a four-node configuration, the three survivors can share the additional load
of those highly available applications from the failed node, each taking on one-third of
the load. Thus as the computing environment scales, the burden of cooperation is shared,
and the performance degradation of any of the survivors during the outage of the failed
server can be minimized. Indeed, the burden per node is inversely proportional to the
number of servers in the cluster. (The more dogs pulling the sled, the less the absence of
one will be noticed!)
A key component in the design of High Availability clustering is its ability to detect
individual system failure, and automatically and seamlessly start up the affected
applications on surviving nodes. If the GIS server fails, the GIS application can be
automatically started up on a cooperating server, and client processes transparently
switched over with it. The simplest High Availability configuration requires two
clustered servers; to be sure, any discussion pertaining to a two-node cluster also applies
to clusters of more than two servers. Under normal circumstances, one server within a
cluster could run the GIS application (and possibly additional applications as well), and
other servers could run other unrelated applications. Alternatively, both servers could run
the GIS application, with each instance serving a subset, or partition, of the GIS data, or a
subset of the clients.
Where is the High Availability?
High Availability can either be built in at the operating environment level, or can be
engineered by the application software vendor into the GIS itself. High Availability as an
integral component of the operating environment benefits both the user (most
applications running on the cluster can easily take advantage of all the High Availability
features) and the application software vendor (no incremental cost and complexity of
engineering High Availability into the application). GIS developers can focus on their
expertise of developing GIS solutions, and need not be concerned with the details of
detecting system failure and the implementation details of seamless and transparent
failover among cooperating servers.
While UNIX systems provide a solid foundation, meeting the availability requirements of
mission-critical applications demands a more comprehensive and dependable clustering
solution. And to be truly affordable, such a solution must require no unique system
configurations, specialized operating system variants, or proprietary storage components:
the clustering environment must use the same standard server platforms, operating
environment, storage architecture, fibre channel, disk controllers, and network adapters as
One model for High Availability designed into the operating environment is Compaq
Computer Corporation's Tru64TM UNIX operating system and TruClusterTM Available
Server, which provides a complete and robust High Availability environment on the
Compaq AlphaServerTM platform.

Zeolite adsorbs large amounts of dissolved ions in waters, its porous structure and high ionic exchange capacity makes it capable of removing impurities from wastewaters. Solutions were prepared by dissolving the respective compounds in the required amounts of distilled water and were filtered through a packed column of zeolite of known mass and volume. The initial concentration of each of the metals was as follows: Zn2+ (50 mg/L), Mn2+ (20 mg/L), Pb 2+ (50 mg/L), Fe 2+ (150 mg/L), Ca 2+ (200 mg/L), Cu2+ (150 mg/L), NH+4 (100 mg/L), PO3-4 (80 mg/L) and NO-3 (20 mg/L). Removal capacity of zeolite in removing co-existing Zn2+, Mn2+ and Pb 2+ was found to be 6.46, 3.3 and 13.84 (g metal ion/ kg zeolite) respectively and for removing co-existing Fe2+, Ca2+ and Cu2+ was 21.96, 40.26 and 24.7 (g metal ion/ kg zeolite) respectively whereas for removing co-existing NO-3, NH+4 and PO3-4 was 4.75, 17.8 and 20.57 (gm group-ion/ kg zeolite) respectively. In this study zeolite was proved to be an effective material in removing co-existing metals ions and ion-groups from wastewater.

The Mt. Milligan North property, comprising 30 mineral tenures with total area 11,746 hectares, is located 165 km northwest of Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, in proximity to the Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine that is currently undergoing pre-production development.
The Mt. Milligan North mineral tenures are located in volcaniclastic rocks of Middle Triassic to Lower Jurassic age in Quesnellia terrane of the Intermontane physiographic belt of interior British Columbia, five to seven kms north northwest of the Mt. Milligan mine site where a copper-gold mine with 60,000 tonne per day capacity is being readied for production. Mt. Milligan mineral deposits are located in proximity to small feldspar porphyritic quartz-poor monzonitic intrusive bodies. Chalcopyrite occurs as fine-grained dissemination and is accompanied by pyrite and magnetite; bornite is a minor component and potassic and propylitic alteration are present throughout the deposits.
The Mt. Milligan North mineral tenures were located on the basis of a geological setting closely analogous to the host environment of most of the Cordilleran porphyry deposits, proximity to Mt. Milligan mine site, presence of alkalic volcanic rocks accompanied by potassic and propylitic alteration, nearby presence of porphyritic monzonitic and other quartz-poor, potassium-rich intrusions, strong magnetic intensity, weak history of prospecting and geological investigations but extensive database of regional technical information. A 2010 program of geochemical soil sampling comprising 612 soil samples analysed by MMI (mobile metal ion) methods provides partial coverage of a number of areas of strong magnetic intensity. MMI is a partial leach method that measures the presence of metal ions derived from underlying bedrock and transported to the surface environment. MMI techniques are relatively recently developed procedures that have been credited with detecting "blind" ore bodies in a variety of terrains.
The Mt. Milligan North mineral tenures are prospective for Mt. Milligan look-alike mineral deposits: that is, for large low grade copper-gold deposits. The exploration concept includes:
- Quesnellia arc-related terrane that is host nearby and elsewhere in British Columbia to a large number of very significant base metal deposits
- proximity to the Mt. Milligan mine development site where resources of several million ounces of gold and several billion pounds of copper have been confirmed by drilling and other studies
- known presence of alkalic volcanic rocks, including latites and andesites similar to those present at Mt. Milligan
- location of mineral tenures astride a northwest trend of porphyritic monzonitic, gabbroic and quartz poor granitic intrusions
- position covering a well defined magnetic "high" pattern that is smaller than but with similar intensity to the magnetic pattern at Mt. Milligan
- prevalence of glacial-fluvial sand and gravel deposits that historically have inhibited prospecting and potentially have masked copper-gold mineralization
- availability of a relatively new geochemical technique that elsewhere has been successfully applied to mineral search in areas of similar cover conditions
- access to a sizeable database of technical data, including reconnaissance geochemical surveys and regional airborne geophysical surveys, assembled by Geoscience BC and the Geological Survey Branch of the provincial Ministry of Energy and Mines.
A two-part program of exploration work is recommended: Stage 1 work will expand coverage by technical surveys, including soil geochemistry, prospecting and ground-based geophysical surveys, and photogrammetric studies, including structural interpretations of fracture patterns, and analysis of satellite-based spectrometric data. Geophysical work may include magnetic surveys and induced polarization surveys performed by a specialist contractor. An experienced prospector should be attached to the field program and given a mandate to independently examine all parts of the property and sample or otherwise investigate mineral zones. Budget requirements are estimates and actual costs of field work may differ from those estimates.
Proposed soil sample lines, totalling 44.5 line-km and 903 samples, are detailed in Figures 12 and Table 2 of this report. Ground-based magnetic surveys should be conducted over the same lines. The Phase 1 exploration budget should include provision for 20 line-km of induced polarization surveys over parts of the soil survey that will be determined as work progresses.

This area has a volume of: about 0.764 cubic meters.
There are cubic yards and there are square yards There are no cubic square yards. You can't convert square yards into cubic yards; one measures area, the other measures volume.
a cubic yard is 27 cubic ftyou have 5,000 cubic ft5,000 / 27 = 185.2 cubic yards
53.33333333 cubic yards. I think. Wouldn't you divide your numbers by three to get yards and then multiply those answers together to get the area in cubic yards??
An area with these dimensions has a volume of 3.03 cubic yards.
Cubic yards is a measure of volume and square yards is a unit of area. The two are not directly convertible.
This is not a valid conversion because cubic yards is a measure of volume while square yards is a measure of area.
cubic feet is a volume unit not area unit but anyway the result is: 768 cubic feet = 28.44 cubic yards
That makes no sense. -Square yards is AREA. -Cubic yards is VOLUME. They are totally different. (However, 3 yards cubed, i.e. 3 yards x 3 yards x 3 yards = 27 CUBIC yards)
An acre is an area, a cubic yard is a volume, the question has no meaning
It is impossible to express cubic feet as an area.
None. The extent of a football field is generally measured in terms of its area, for which the units would be square yards, not cubic yards.
There are 27 square feet in one cubic yard. This works out to be 10 cubic yards.
If the 1 cubic yard is in the form of a cube. Then its surface area is 6 square yards.
240 cubic feet = about 8.9 cubic yards. (8.88888889 cubic yards).
That is 22.222 cubic yards
This is not a valid conversion. Cubic meters is a measure of volume while square yards is a measure of area.
Your 1 cubic meter = 1.30795 cubic yards.
One cubic meter is 1.308 cubic yards.
There are 1.308 cubic yards in one cubic meter.

Witnesses provide expert nuclear overview
Posted 29 October 2016
The nuclear Citizens' Jury has today heard from 32 expert witnesses on four key topics – trust, safety, economics and consent – as they discuss the state's potential future involvement in the nuclear fuel cycle.
The jury took part in panel discussions during the day, having the opportunity to listen to witnesses and then engage in question and answer sessions.
Evidence was heard from stakeholders representing a broad range of interests and sectors, including the Australian Conservation Foundation, Australia Institute, Friends of the Earth, Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office (ASNO), World Nuclear Association, Australia Youth Climate Coalition and French national radioactive waste management agency ANDRA.
The discussions during the day highlighted the key issues being considered by the jury, including liability, the economic modelling assumptions, how consent is measured and concerns about transporting radioactive waste through regional South Australia.
The afternoon session was dedicated to hearing indigenous community perspectives, with around 20 Aboriginal people - many travelling to Adelaide from rural SA - attending to share their experiences with the jury.
The group heard from Aboriginal representatives, including Karina Lester, Vivienne McKenzie, Vince Coulthard and Enice Marsh who discussed the effects of the Maralinga testing in 1950s and past campaigns to protect Aboriginal land from radioactive material. They spoke of their cultural concerns about the safety, health impacts and damage to traditional lands from past nuclear activities, as well as their worries about any potential future storage and disposal plans.
The jury is spending a total of six days answering the question: 'Under what circumstances, if any, could South Australia pursue the opportunity to store and dispose of nuclear waste from other countries?'
Around 350 jurors, representing a broad cross section of the South Australian population, are considering all the facts and feedback from the three-month community consultation program, and deciding on their own perspectives, on the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission Report.
The jury sat today, and will reconvene tomorrow to start gathering together their insights. They reconvene next weekend to finalise a report, which will be presented to the Premier Jay Weatherill on Sunday, November 6.
