Color Banding Rows In A Worksheet
This page describes how to create color banding of rows on a worksheet.
If you have a large number of rows in a worksheet, especially if those rows span many
columns, you may find it useful to color alternate rows or alternate groups of rows with
another color. This creates a visual style similar to an accounting ledger or good old-fashioned
computer green-bar paper. Excel has built-in styles for this, and of course you can do it
manually. However, if you sort the rows or you insert or delete rows, the color banding will
get out of whack.
The solution to this problem is to use Conditional Formatting from the Format menu
to apply a format to the cells. The formula used in the Conditional Formatting rule is based
solely on the row number, so the formatting it applies will remain intact as you sort the rows or insert or
The formatting techniques described here create color bands of a fixed number of rows, regardless of the
content of the cells on worksheet. To create color banding based on the content of the cells, see the
Content Banding With Conditional Formatting page. When banding is applied,
the cells will have alternate bands of color, as shown below:
The image on the left shows even banding, where the even number of row groups are colored. The image on the right shows
odd banding, where the odd numbers of row groups are colored.
First, select the rows that you want to format. Then, go to the Format menu and choose
Conditional Formatting. In this dialog, change Cell Value Is to Formula
Is. The formula to use depends on whether you want the color applied to the first and every other
group of rows, or you want no color on the first group of row and color applied to the second and
then every other group of rows. Each group of rows can contain 1 or more rows.
To apply the color on the first group and every other group, enter the following formula in the
formula bar in the Conditional Formatting dialog.
where Rw is the row number of the first cell in the rows that are to be
formatted, and N is the number of rows in each banded group. For example,
if the first row is 12 and you want each band to contain 3 rows, you would use the formula:
Click the Format button and select the color or pattern that should be applied to the
If you want the banding to appear only on rows that are not empty, you can use a formula like
In this formula, change the reference to $D5 to the
cell reference that is to be tested for data. You should fix the column
specifier with the $ character, but do not fix the
To apply the color starting in the second band of rows, use the following formula in the
Conditional Formatting dialog:
As before, Rw is the row number of the first row to be formatted and
N is the number of rows in each band. For example, if the first row is
12 and the bands contain 3 rows, use the following formula:
By using Conditional Formatting rather than directly styling a range, you can prevent the colors from
getting out of order when you sort the range or insert or delete rows.
If you want the color banding to be based on the content of the cells (alternating between formatted and
unformatted when content changes), see Content Based Banding

text: The initial molecular steps of the acid-catalyzed silica sol−gel process de-parting from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) were investigated by in situ 29Si NMR and UV−Raman spectroscopy. The use of a substoichiometric H2O:TEOS molar ratio (r-value 0.2−1.2) slowed the silicate oligomerization reaction and allowed unraveling the initial steps of silica condensation. Molecular modeling confirmed Raman signal and 29Si NMR shift assignment. A comprehensive listing of all Raman and 29Si NMR assignments is provided, including unique Raman assignments of cyclosilicates and the linear tetramer. The combination of experiment and modeling allowed an analysis of the reaction kinetics. The derived kinetic model and the experimental observation both revealed that the H2O:TEOS molar ratio had a strong influence on the reaction kinetics but not on the reaction pathways. The multianalytical approach led to development of an oligomerization scheme. As dominant oligomerizations, chain growth, cyclodimerization, and branching were identified. Under the investigated conditions, chains did not grow longer than pentamer, and ring sizes were limited to 6-rings. Chains of 4 Si atoms and 4-rings were abundant species. Branched rings and chains were formed by attachment of dimers and trimers. Gelation proceeded from branched 4-rings and branched chains with limited hydroxyl functionalities.

The defensive team
in American football
or Canadian football
, is the team that begins a play from scrimmage
not in possession of the ball.
Several different "defensive sets" are used. The numbers of linemen and linebackers will vary, but most sets used in American football include a line composed of defensive ends and defensive tackles and, behind the line, linebackers, cornerbacks, a strong safety and a free safety.
- defensive end - the two defensive ends play on the outside of the defensive line. Their function is to rush the passer or stop runs.
- defensive tackle - (sometimes called a defensive guard), defensive tackles are linemen who lines up inside the defensive ends. Their function is to rush the passer, and defend against running plays. A defensive tackle that lines up directly across from the ball (on the nose of the center) is often called a nose guard. Common defensive sets have from one to three defensive tackles.
- linebacker - linebackers play behind the defensive line and perform various duties depending on the situation, including rushing the passer, covering receivers, and defending against the run. Most defensive sets have between three and five linebackers.
- cornerback - the cornerbacks primarily cover the wide receivers.
- safety - the safeties are the last line of defense (farthest from the line of scrimmage), and provide help on deep pass coverage.

Employers' legal obligations on electrical safety are set out in:
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 ("POWER"), and
- The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
By law, your organisation must maintain all electrical systems to prevent danger.
- This will involve a degree of inspection and testing of the electrical installation and equipment under your organisation's control but, the law doesn't define how often inspections are needed.
- Instead, the onus is on the employer to carry out a risk assessment of electrical equipment and to determine the appropriate frequency of inspections and tests.
The Health & Safety Control Manual provides more detailed information on this topic. Please contact the Health & Safety hotline number if you have any further queries.

In this science project, you will use food dyes to follow the path of water through a carnation. All plants, even those living in deserts, need water to survive. Plants use water to keep their roots, stems, leaves, and flowers healthy and to prevent them from drying out and wilting. The water is also used to carry dissolved nutrients throughout the plant.
Most of the time, plants get their water from the ground. This means that the plant has to transport the water from its roots up throughout the rest of the plant. How does it do this? Water moves through the plant by means of capillary action. Capillary action occurs when the forces binding a liquid together (cohesion and surface tension) and the forces attracting that bound liquid to another surface (adhesion) are greater than the force of gravity.
A simple way of observing this is to take a teaspoon of water and gently pour it in a pool on a countertop. You'll notice that the water stays together in the pool, rather than flattening out across the countertop. This happens because of cohesion and surface tension. Cohesion is the attractive force that pulls similar substances together. In this case, the individual water droplets are being pulled together. The force of the pull is strongest at the edge of the pool. The water droplets at the edge have fewer neighboring water droplets, so they cling more tightly to those around them; this is known as surface tension. Now gently dip the corner of a paper towel in the pool of water. The water is attracted to the paper and "climbs" up the paper towel-this is capillary action.
Materials and Equipment
For this science project, you will need to gather the following items:
Water (1/2 C.)
Glass or plastic cup
Blue or red food dye
Several white carnations (minimum of 3)
Knife (ask an adult for help with the knife)
Measure out 1/2 cup of water.
Pour the water into a glass.
Add 20 drops of food dye to the water in the glass. Stir with a spoon until the dye has fully dissolved in the water.
With the help of an adult, use a knife to cut the stems of several (at least three) white carnations at a 45° angle. Be sure not to use scissors, as they will crush the stems, reducing their ability to absorb the water.
Place the carnations in the colored water.
Here are some additional questions you can investigate with this science project.
Do you see the same results with other flowers and plants? How about trying another white flower, like a daisy? Or try a plant that is mostly stem, like a stalk of celery.
What are the results if you use other colors of food dyes? Is the effect easier or harder to see?
What happens if you increase or decrease the concentration of food dye in the water? Try using one-half, twice, four times, and ten times as much food dye.
How would you make a multi-colored carnation? Hint: Two methods to try are:
Leaving the flower for a day in one color of water and then putting it in another color of water for a second day
Splitting the stem in two and putting each half of the stem in a different color of water.

Definition funny of Persia:
the most civilized and powerful empire until even after the romans fell. in 559 BC, the persian king Cyrus the great defeated the Mades controlling what is now iran, iraq, and some other countries. Cyrus set out to create a powerful empire. in fact, he created THE FIRST EMPIRE. the word "Persia" comes from the greek word "persis" which means empire. the relative strength of the persian empire at the height of its power was like the relative strength of modern day, china, india, russia, EU, US and japan put together. the persians were the first people in history to give men and women equal rights, abolish slavery and write the very first human and animal bill of rights. they also built in 400s BC the very first stadium, the apadana in persepolis (later burnt down by alexander). the apadana was able to seat 15 (yes, fifteen thousand) people in it, with space left for a grand ceremony. this massive bulding was roofed. unlike the collosium. the arcitectural and worth of this single building, if it lived through the fire alexander put it through, would have dwarfed the city of rome. The persian empire was a god compared to rome. when rome attacked persia (battle of carhae) with 44 thousand soldiers, a 10 thousand man army from the persian empire crushed the romans, and sent tehir general's head back to rome. people commonly mistake persians for arabs, this is a fatal mistake, persians are aryans like the germans. they migrated from southern russia. NEVER CALL A PERSIAN AN ARAB! THEY WILL SNAP, THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH AND/OR REPUTATION! the persian empire at the height of its power ruled from eastern india, to southern russia, to egypt, to thrace and the persian gulf. they ruled over 80% of the civilized world. the end of persian supremacy: after the arab invasion of persia, their culture was weakened by islam. the islamic hordes burnt all books in the persia libraries, destroying the knowledge that took europe 1000 years to re-invent. even after the arab invasion, persia still held a powerful seat in international sayings. Nader (Na-dde-r) shah of persia, restored the persian glory around the 1600s. modern persia: until 1935, persia was the actuall name, after than, reza shah changed that to "iran" which was the original name the mades and other aryan tribes gave it. the word "iran" literally means "land of the aryans". in 1953, a coup organized by the CIA to bring down iran's first democrtically elected official (mossadeq) because he nationalized the oil industry. they then installed the dictatoric mohamad reza shah, who was a puppet of the americans. he was overthrown in 1979 after the islamic revolution. which produced a more democratic government compared to the Shah's, but not quite democratic enough. in 1980, iraq invaded iran. possibly a work of the CIA, or the americans, in payback for the iranian's hostage crisis (that was nothing compared to what the US did later to iran). iran fought iraq bravely for 8 years, contributed some 1 million casualties, and pushed iraq back. at this time, iran had no weapons program. iraq was aided by the west with sattelite pictures, and chemical and biological weapons, which they launched into iranian cities. after the war was over, at around 1995, iran started to produce its own fighter jet, and tank. they recently developed their medium range missile. they are now working on their controversial nuclear energy program, which the US labels as a plot to develop nuclear weapons. Conclusion: the persian empire was the longest lasting power on earth. it lasted for about 1500 years as a world power. 1200 of those, it was THE world power. if it were up to me, the only nation truely deserving of being called an empire was the persian empire. iran is doing much better than all other islamic countries at the moment. it holds 17% of all of the world's resources. it has what it takes to become an empire again, but unfortunatly, the current world power, and the current government make that impossible. you generally dont learn about the persian empire in schools in the US, canada, mexico, and most of europe, simply because of politics. to give you an image of what they are not teaching you, consider this: you were never taught about rome, wwi, wwii, the cold war and the american colonies. all those put together come close to the magnitude of the importance of the persian empire in shaping the world as we see it today.
the persian empire conquered 80% of the civilized world, and managed to keep its borders intact for 1500 years.
Greek name of the empire of ruled by the Indo-European peoples of the Iranian plateau during the Achaemenid dynasty. The name got carried over by Europeans for more than two millennia. In actuality the inhabitants of "Persia" for millennia have called it Iran, meaning "land of the Aryans". "Persians", Iranians, were responsible for some of the greatest contributions to the modern world. Some examples are the concepts of universal human rights under Cyrus, or Kourosh, the Great, the development of the first postal system, intercontinental road system known as the "Royal Road", modern algebra, medical procedures and analysis of disease, and overall the first empire to form a multicultural basis and the concepts of "states" which have formed the basis of organization that nearly all modern countries follow to this day.
Persians have formed some of the most fundamental concepts in Math, Biology, Chemistry, governmental organization, and modern human rights.
The BEST country in the WORLD with the most attractive people which unfortunately got screwed by a couple of turban-wearing cockroaches with lice crawling beards.
Persia is also known as Iran but call it Persia anyway.
Where all your dreams come true! Actually, Both a country (Iran) and once an empire (sassanid, selucid, and just plain Persian.) Birthplace of Zoroastrianism, and the coolest person in C3C, XERXES I!

Long-distance shipping can put horses at risk for illness and injury, new research from Australia confirms. The study also highlights some actions owners and shippers can take to keep their horses safe on long road trips.
The study reviewed records of 1,650 horses who were shipped across Australia between Sydney, on the East Coast, and Perth, on the West Coast, over a two-year period. At just under 2,500 miles, that trip is the rough equivalent of driving from Charleston, South Carolina, to Los Angeles. The horses all made the journey with the same commercial hauler, riding in a 15-horse ventilated van. They were fed and watered every four to five hours, and the trip was broken into four stages ranging in length from six to 24 hours of travel time. After each stage, the horses were unloaded for a 12-hour rest stop. Altogether, they spent an average of 49 hours on the road and 36 hours in rest breaks.
Most of the horses completed the trip in good health, the records showed. Just 46 of them—less than 3 percent—showed signs of illness or injury. That's much lower than the level reported by owners during noncommercial horse transportation, the researchers say. Respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses were the most common problems, followed by fever and injuries. The list fits with other studies of long-distance travel, but the incidence was lower in this study. For example, fever affects 11 to 12 percent of imported horses arriving in New York or Los Angeles, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports. But less than half of 1 percent of these horses had fevers during or right after the trip.
Rates of other common problems were similarly low. The respiratory illness called shipping fever (pleuropneumonia) is one of the most common long-haul risks. Poor ventilation, a forced high-head position, which keeps the horse from clearing his airways, and dehydration are contributing factors. These horses rode in a vehicle with a forced ventilation system to ensure good air quality. Still, five horses developed pneumonia, and five others showed mild respiratory symptoms. All recovered.
The stress of travel, dehydration, which can lead to intestinal impaction, and changes in diet and feeding regimes make colic another travel danger. Seven horses developed signs of colic or other gastrointestinal problems during or right after the trip. Most recovered, but one had to be euthanized. Three other horses were found dead of undetermined causes during or within a day of transport.
Injuries were most likely early in the trip, the study found, while the number of serious illnesses increased with the length of the trip. More transport-related deaths and respiratory diseases occurred in spring, although the reasons weren't clear. "This may reflect abrupt temperature increases at a time when many horses still have winter coats, with consequent, impaired thermoregulation in transit," writes equine veterinarian Barbara Padalino of the University of Sydney, who led the research team. But other seasonal variables—hormone swings or increased exposure to allergens and respiratory viruses—may play a role, she adds.
"Although the trips were well organized and complied with or exceeded the requirements of [Australia's] National Code of Practice for the Transportation of Horses, serious diseases still occurred," Padalino notes. The study points to several ways that good planning and management can help reduce the risks of long-distance travel:
- Ship with professionals if you can. A stable and well-ventilated van, experienced handlers and skilled driving that allows horses to keep their balance will help minimize injuries.
- Schedule frequent stops. It's essential to keep the horse hydrated and maximize the time he has to clear his respiratory tract. Some travel recommendations call for stopping every two to four hours to offer water and give the horse a chance to lower his head.
- Avoid any abrupt diet changes or restrictions before, during and after transportation. To further reduce colic risks, don't give antibiotics or deworming medications except on a veterinarian's advice.

Using Google Dart as an online collaboration calculator
When I'm stuck on math questions I turn to my friend Chris who can write pixel perfect C# code in a chat window. Yesterday I needed to calculate where a line intersects a circle so after a few google searches I came up with this Google Dart code:
double x1=100.0;
double y1=100.0;
double x2=200.0;
double y2=200.0;
double radians=Math.atan2(y2-y1, x2-x1) ;
double radius=50.0;
double y3=y2+radius * Math.cos(radians);
double x3=x2+radius * Math.sin(radians);
As it turned out, I made two mistakes. The last two lines should be:
double y3=y1+radius * Math.sin(radians);
double x3=x1+radius * Math.cos(radians);
How did I find out? Easy! I entered the code in the Dart editor and sent the generated link to Chris. He looked at the code, made some changes and sent a link back.

ations. Let R = k[t_0,..., t_n]. The homogeneous ideal R_+ = \bigoplus_{d \ge 1} R_d is called the maximal homogeneous ideal (see also irrelevant ideal). As in the affine case, we let: for a subset S \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n and a homogeneous ideal I of R,
\operatorname{I}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(S) &= \{ f \in R_+ | f = 0 \text{ on } S \}, \\
\operatorname{V}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(I) &= \{ x \in \mathbb{P}^n | f(x) = 0 \text{ for all }f \in I \}.
By f = 0 \text{ on } S we mean: for every homogeneous coordinates (a_0 : \cdots : a_n) of a point of S we have f(a_0,\ldots, a_n)=0. This implies that the homogeneous components of f are also zero on S and thus that \operatorname{I}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(S) is a homogeneous ideal. Equivalently, \operatorname{I}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(S) is the homogeneous ideal generated by homogeneous polynomials f that vanish on S. Now, for any homogeneous ideal I \subseteq R_+, by the usual Nullstellensatz, we have:
\sqrt{I} = \operatorname{I}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(\operatorname{V}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(I)),
and so, like in the affine case, we have:[4]
There exists an order-reversing one-to-one correspondence between proper homogeneous radical ideals of R and subsets of \mathbb{P}^n of the form \operatorname{V}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(I). The correspondence is given by \operatorname{I}_{\mathbb{P}^n} and \operatorname{V}_{\mathbb{P}^n}.

explain the concept of gravitional field in space and its effects on our universe?
i want to know the clear concept of gravitional field in space and its effect on any thing in space planets, stars black hole etc
2 Answers | Add Yours
I like this question...the concept of gravitational field is not at all clear. Isaac Newton sought to explain our observations of planetary motion (we say the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, we say the moon travels around the earth). He suggested that all earthbound observations indicate that objects stay at rest unless forced to move. If we attempt to alter the direction of an object that is moving, we must apply some force. If the earth is moving around the sun, then some force must be constantly moving the earth toward the sun. Apparently this force is working between any two solid masses. Since the force is not directed in one direction, it is considered a field force. The strength of this force is proportional to the masses involved and inversely proportional to the distances. This gravitational attraction appears to be at work on all the bodies in the known universe.
It is indeed one of the reasons the LHC at CERN was built: to find the Higgs boson.
The Newtonian idea is that for some reason (no one knows) all masses exert a pulling force on each other, for every mass in the universe.
The Einsteinian idea is that space is distorted by a mass. You have surely seen the model of a flat, stretched, infinitely, endlessly elastic rubber sheet with a massive sphere at its center. Put a very small but massive sphere in the center. A neutron star. Increase the mass but make it much smaller (and denser). The dent in the rubber is very narrow and deep. For a black hole the mass can be finite (measurable) but the depth of the dent is infinite. This is a black hole gravity well. Try now to imagine the same situation but in 3D.

Quick Answer: How Do Bikers Greet Each Other?
How do bikers say hello?
Titles for this greeting include "Biker wave", "Motorcyclist wave", "Motorcycle wave" or just "The Wave." The greeting made can include a number of gestures including a nod, a pointed finger, palm-out V sign, or an actual raised-hand wave..
Why bikers wave to each other?
The biker wave is as old as motorcycles. Apparently it was started in 1904 when Harley-Davidson partners Arthur Davidson and William Harley passed each other and waved. It was noted by a passerby and believed to be etiquette among riders. … I'm not talking about motorcycle rider hand signals that indicate hazards etc.
Why do bikers kiss on the lips?
The Angels differentiated themselves from society by kissing each other on the mouth as a greeting and an opportunity to shock passers-by. The bikers' kisses became immortalized in Hunter S.
Why do bikers hate trikes?
There are some notable downsides to Harley's trikes, of course. The most obvious one is the handling. Unlike Can-Am's Spider or Polaris' Slingshot, the two wheels are at the rear of the bike. This severely hampers handling in the traditional sense, as the third wheel renders leaning impossible.
Why do bikers say old lady?
Ol' Lady: Some say Old Lady and others argue about using the 'd' on the end of old. However you choose to pronounce it – – when a biker decides he likes a woman well enough to keep her as his personal property, he takes her as his Ol' Lady. The term Ol' Lady is a term of endearment, not one of disrespect.
What does the peace sign mean to bikers?
A fist with the index and middle fingers extended but spread apart – A peace sign meaning "peace on the road." Thumb and index finger making a circle other three fingers extended – The "OK" sign saying, "I'm okay, you're okay." Can also be a question asking if the other rider is okay.
What is a 2% biker?
What should you not say to a biker?
20 Things to NEVER Say When Dating a BikerYour garage really needed a makeover! … It's like you have another woman out in the garage. … You'll never get ME on that death machine! … You know, I think you love that motorcycle more than you love me. … You spent HOW MUCH on new pipes for your motorcycle?More items…
Why do bikers wave down low?
The Biker Wave is a way for motorcyclists to acknowledge each other as they pass each other on the road. It is very similar to how Jeep owners have their own wave as they pass each other on the road. It really is just a simple way of saying hello to someone who has the same passion as you, when it comes to two wheels.
What does FTW mean for bikers?
For The WindSo, the Hell's Angels are the 81, Forajidos the 6, etc. FTW: usually it would mean "For The Wind", but in the MC culture are "Fuck the World" initials, symbol of biker's absolute rebellion.
What does a 1% tattoo mean?
What do bikers call their girlfriends?
Why do bikers carry hammers?
The ball peen hammer being carried by bikers has been synonymous with Hell's Angels for a very long time, because it used to be an unassuming and very affective weapon for them to use for self protection in a fight. Most people in the biker community still associate the ball peen hammer with HA.
Why do bikers wear rings?
Some wear for sentimental reasons or vanity, and there is some who wear as a symbol of status. There are also others who believe in wearing certain rings will have benefits such as magic talismans, protection from evil spirits and amulets. … These are the reasons one should wear biker rings.
What does it mean when bikers point two fingers down?
This is a way of expressing respect towards the other motorcyclist. It's our way of saying, "Hello! Keep the rubber side down, keep both wheels on the ground". It signifies that the rider is wishing the fellow rider to stay safe and ride safe.
What does a 3% patch mean?
3 Piece Patch Meaning The 3 piece patch is normally used to identify the club as a traditional motorcycle club, shortened as MC. This type of patch is used to signify that the club is not sanctioned by the American Motorcycle Association, but necessarily not a 1% club.
What does 13 mean to bikers?
What does 81 mean to bikers?
MC stands for Motorcycle Club. All members of HAMC World ride motorcycles. 81 is a metonym. It stands for the 8th letter of the alphabet which is an H, and the 1st letter of the alphabet which is an A, HA = Hells Angels.

The "Robat" is a fully autonomous terrestrial robot with bat-like qualities that uses echolocation to move through novel environments while mapping them based only on sound. It was developed at Tel Aviv University.
Bats use echolocation to map novel environments, navigating them by emitting sound then extracting information from the echoes reflected by objects in their surroundings. Many theories have been proposed to explain how bats harness sonar in order to navigate, but few attempts have been made to build a robot that mimics a bat's abilities.
A TAU study about the invention was published today in PLOS Computational Biology.
TAU graduate student Itamar Eliakim developed a robot that uses a biological bat-like approach, emitting sound and analyzing the returning echoes to generate a map of space. Prof. Yossi Yovel of TAU's Department of Zoology and Dr. Gabor Kosa of TAU's School of Mechanical Engineering serve as Mr. Eliakim's advisors.
"Our Robat is the first fully autonomous, bat-like biorobot that moves through a novel environment while mapping it solely based on echo information. This information delineates the borders of objects and the free paths between them," says Eliakim. "We've been able to demonstrate the great potential of using sound in future robotic applications."
The Robat is equipped with an ultrasonic speaker that produces frequency-modulated chirps at a rate typically used by bats, as well as two ultrasonic microphones that serve as the robot's ears. It classifies the borders and shapes of the objects it encounters with an artificial neural network, creating a rich, accurate map of its environment while avoiding obstacles. For example, when reaching a dead end, the robot uses its classification abilities to determine whether it is blocked by a wall or by a plant through which it could pass.
Funding for the research was provided partially by the Israel Ministry of Science, Technology and Space.

Subprojects | Project Area C | Circulation and Order
Streaming Series: Spatial Stories and the Production Regimes of Afronovelas
This subproject investigates the production of spatial stories in popular culture using the example of streaming series. Over the past decades, TV series have emerged as influential mass media products boasting a wide range. They tell us stories about, in and through the world, thereby contributing to the creation of collective spatial stories and offering their own interpretations of current spatial changes worldwide. The project focuses on afronovelas to analyze spatial stories of the West African (upper) middle classes, which contain (as yet understudied) projections of a successful life and its associated everyday spaces in a West African metropolis.
Using both film analysis and approaches in spatial and cultural sociology, these spatial stories will be investigated within the context of their respective production regimes. The landscape of West African TV series is currently undergoing significant changes. It accommodates three competing production regimes, which will serve as paradigmatic units of comparison in our research: The first regime is a remnant of the colonial period and follows the model of global cooperation under the tutelage of France; the second regime grown out of increasing regionalization resulting in the emergence of a local West-African private sector in the field of audio-visual production; the third regime was spurred by the rise of platform economies leading to a growth in translocal co-productions. The subproject asks whether and how the production of fictional spaces in these tv series varies between different production regimes. It will, moreover, look into potential conflicts and mutual tensions between spatial stories of refiguration and refigured conditions of production.
Based on the concept of multiple spatialities, the project aims to map out variations of spatial stories in similar contexts and investigate whether they can be attributed to the series' production regime. The different regimes can be read as spatial figurations – the links, interactions, and overlaps between them will be focus of our analysis. As paradigmatic markers of a refigured spatial order, these spatial figurations are of particular interest for the study of the refiguration of spaces, not least because they address two major societal challenges in recent decades, namely decolonization and mediatization. The project adopts a multimodal qualitative research approach that includes an in-depth analysis of three West African afronovelas, a focused ethnographic study into the production of fictional spaces on set, and an institutional mapping of the three production regimes.

George R. Brown Convention Center, Exhibit Hall E
Increased urbanization in the United States and the rest of the world, has led to more research on the effects it has on the local ecology. Urbanization can be defined as the creation of impervious cover in areas previously covered by forest, grass or farm lands. Small increases in impervious cover can cause noticeable changes in stream chemistry. The goal of this study is to quantify the impact of smaller industrial cities on water and sediment geochemistry in a largely agricultural watershed. The study area is in east-central Indiana along the west fork of the White River and includes the cities of Winchester, Muncie and Anderson. This area is dominated by agriculture and the impact of cities in the region on water chemistry has not been studied. To assess this impact, sampling sites were selected upand downstream of the three cities to characterize White River water chemistry before and after it flows through the cities and sewage treatment plants. Sampling was done over the course of one year to obtain samples characteristic of high and low flow river conditions. Samples were analyzed for major cation and anion concentrations as well as total suspended solids. Background sites unaffected by urbanization were sampled for comparison. Metals data was also obtained from water and sediment in the study area. Results show that sediment load, on average, increases on the downstream side of these cities. Initial chemical analyses show that major cations and anions, Na+, K+, NO3-, SO42- and Cl-, have distinct spikes in concentration on the downstream side of the cities, as well. Na+ and Clare specifically linked to human and urbanized activity, and were up to four times higher downstream of the urbanized areas.

Mixer Innovations
The modern industry of masonry is nothing like the way it was 100 or even 10 years ago. With innovations and advancements happening virtually every year, the industry continues to see improvements in productivity, efficiency, and technique. However, none of these improvements would be possible without the inventions and techniques that make modern masonry what it is today.
Mixer Innovations
A masonry project would be nothing without the right tools and materials, and that's why innovations in mixers have played such a pivotal role in the industry. Previously, contractors had to mix mortar and concrete in large drum mixers that tumbled and mixed the materials. This was a slow process relative to modern techniques that allow for meeting much tighter deadlines. These innovations include mixers powered by hydraulics that pack a much more powerful punch and can mix more efficiently. Older mixers must also be high off the ground to dump contents, while modern mixers often incorporate hydraulic cylinders that raise the drum, reducing the laborer's effort and increasing efficiency.
Defense Against the Elements
Often, masonry buildings can be described as "breathing," as they absorb moisture and expel vapor over time. Although this adds charm to some projects, it can also lead to long-term damage. Since water or ice can damage masonry buildings, modern masonry has developed to help reduce this harm in the restoration of masonry buildings. By adding flashings at parapets or windowsills, modern innovations can reroute the water and prevent damage. Modern masonry also incorporates moisture barriers, trapping moisture and defending even historical buildings from the elements.
Modern masonry has come a long way thanks to recent advances and improvements. If you're in need of restoration services for a masonry building, contact Soumar Masonry Restoration, Inc. today.

|Design a Cell Phone Game Information|
Design a Cell Phone
Recommended Grade Levels: 5-8 (ages 11-14)
Run Time: All of the students we observed went right past the research section and started designing right away. This usually results in a failed design. If students design, test, go back to the research section and then design, test and get their sales results, this takes about 40 minutes of time. If you want to cut down on the time, you can have them start with the research section first.
Story Line: Elena is a project manager who is also an engineer. She assigns projects to engineers that work at Edheads' Engineering Design Area. Today's project is to design a cell phone for senior citizens for our client, Mr. Tomasko. Students have access to market research on cell phones, but have the choice of checking out the research first or designing first. After they design, they will take their specifically designed phone into a test setting where five senior citizens will comment on it. Spoiler alert: There's an outlier in the group! The senior citizens will let the students know if the design is great, better than before but not perfect, or not that good. Students have the option of going back to check out the research information, going back to redesign, or building the phone. They can design and test as many times as they like. Once they build the phone, they will be given sales results by the client, Mr. Tomasko who will be thrilled, somewhat satisfied or very disappointed in the sales figures, depending on how well the students met the expectations of the senior citizens. Students will use skills reading charts and graphs, learn about engineering design, and use critical thinking skills.

To safely use a flat iron on fine hair, use a steam-producing iron, such as Teflon-coated hot tool brands, and apply a heat protectant to hair before straightening. Use a lower heat setting and run the flat iron through the hair consistently, not stopping at any one section longer than another, and quickly. Only use a heated tool once or twice a week.Continue Reading
Do not style hair with a flat iron while it is still wet to avoid steam damage. Wet hair produces a boiling effect that boils the center of a hair shaft. This causes a break in the walls of the medulla and produces bubbles in the shaft that decreases shine. Hair becomes rough, dry and is more easily snapped off when it is styled while wet.
Using a flat iron daily causes frizzy hair of differing lengths because of hair breakage. Change the flat iron periodically when there is buildup on the plates or the surface of the plate becomes sticky. This buildup and stickiness is caused by burned hair cells and it causes more damage to hair if used for too long. The signs of heat damage include dull, dry hair that breaks easily, as well as damage to the scalp or hair follicle and reduced shine. If these are happening to one's hair, seek a professionals help to rehabilitate the strands.Learn more about Hairstyling Tools


I just gave this answer to a question, but it was deleted by a moderator, because my initial answer was a placeholder answer, that I posted in order to be able to answer the question, even if it got locked.
Now that my answer is no longer a placeholder, how should I proceed?
 1. Add a new answer to the question?
 2. Flag the answer to be undeleted?
 3. Forget about it and leave the question un-answered?
Please advice on the appropriate way to act, because I am fairly new to SO, and I am not familiar with the ethics.
Note: The answer has now been undeleted. I edited the question to better fit the answers.

 Please do not just write "try this". It's no better than posting the code alone. Can't you explain why your answer works at all? Maybe what's happening in there? No one is going to learn from copying and pasting code that someone else has written. (This is an entreaty to your conscience not official site policy) – ben is uǝq backwards Feb 5 '13 at 19:34
 - _USER_ Ok I will add a few lines to explain how it works. Thanks for the tip. – user000001 Feb 5 '13 at 19:36
 - _USER_ see my comment to the answer below – user000001 Feb 5 '13 at 22:32
While _USER_ nicely describes why answering with Placeholder in case it gets locked. Working on the solution. is abusing the system, there is a non-abusive approach to answering a question you feel is valid.
Remember that closing a question is not the end of question since it can be re-opened. Once reopened you can then add your answer.
To reopen a question you can try the following
First edit or propose an edit to the question making sure that your edit makes it
 1. Not a duplicate
 2. On topic
 3. Would be interesting to someone outside of the OP
 4. Is answerable in our Q/A format.
Also improve it by
 1. Fixing up spelling and grammar problems.
 2. Improve the formatting
 3. Make sure you have the right tags.
 4. Remove anything that detracts from the question I wanted to know the Java code... probably contributed to its negative response.
Once you've done that it will automatically go into the reopen queue. If you have the rep you can also vote to reopen. Be patient and check back periodically.
If that doesn't work you can still take it to the meta chat room Posse Comitatus and state your case there. Be patient and check back periodically.
If that doesn't work you can flag it as other and explain why you think it should be opened. Be patient and check back periodically.
Finally you can bring your case to meta and explain why you think it should be reopened.
As an aside, I think what this question was asking was fine when I compare it to recent questions tagged. I would look at those questions like those below and try and model my edits to make it similar.
 - Thank you for the info. I didn't know neither about the Posse Comitatus, nor that edited posts automatically go to the reopen queue. That is very helpful. Accepting this answer because it explains what you should do when you feel that a question can be saved. – user000001 Feb 5 '13 at 21:57
 - _USER_ it took me a while to find as well. I used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago – Some Helpful Commenter Feb 5 '13 at 22:04
You saw that the question got downvotes and maybe gets closed and you still wanted to answer. So you placed a placeholder answer with no content to place a dummy answer before it got closed. (Because after closing no answers can be added)
That is wrong and abusing the system. Please don't do that in the future.
If the question is about to be closed, it is for a good reason and should not be answered. Otherwise that would just motivate users to ask bad questions because they still get answers even if closed.
 - Ok good point. I just felt sorry for the poor guy that was asking the question and got the downvotes. I won't do it again. – user000001 Feb 5 '13 at 19:41
 - 3
 I know the feeling. But to keep the site's standard high we have to tell such users politly how to improve their questions to avoid closing. – juergen d Feb 5 '13 at 19:46
To clarify for others: short placeholder answers are good, because they help us get information and solutions out faster... but only if the placeholder has real content that does answer the question. You can post a brief placeholder answer and flesh it out via edits, but that original post needs to be able to stand on it's own in case something happens and you aren't able to finish an edited version.
With that in mind, it should be obvious that if you post a placeholder answer that does not have real content, the most likely result is that it will be downvoted, flagged, and possibly deleted.

 Why was his answer undeleted? His placeholder was an abuse of the system, irrespective of the fact whether he later on got an answer on not. By restoring his answer, are we not supporting abuse? – asheeshr Feb 6 '13 at 1:59
 - Don't know... I wasn't involved – Joel Coehoorn Feb 6 '13 at 2:25
 - I was asking for your opinion as you are a Mod as well. Bart is not involved in any conversation in this page, so its not possible to ask him directly. – asheeshr Feb 6 '13 at 2:28
 - I'm only a mod on meta... but I'd say it was undeleted because after the edit it was correct. A mod doesn't always see the whole history of what happened, and keeping it deleted would punish the asker and the community more than the answerer. – Joel Coehoorn Feb 6 '13 at 2:32
 - _USER_ Probably it got undeleted because at the time I corrected the answer, the question had not been closed yet. This is just a guess though. – user000001 Feb 6 '13 at 7:46
 - 1
 As it is the system can be gamed, and we should not encourage more of it, which is what has in fact happened here, IMHO. – asheeshr Feb 6 '13 at 8:01
 - _USER_ Yes but you can't really prevent someone from answering before a question gets closed. Probably the only solution would be to disable edits to answers after they get locket... – user000001 Feb 6 '13 at 8:04
 - _USER_; Bart wasn't involved in undeleting the answer If you look at the post history it was undeleted by Bill... – ben is uǝq backwards Feb 6 '13 at 8:50

Jackson Parish Hospital is providing the following charge information in compliance with the CMS FFY 2019 inpatient and long-term care hospital PPS rule, requiring hospitals "to make available a list of their standard charges via the internet in a machine-readable format and update this information at least annually." It is important to note that hospital charges are based upon a number of factors and can vary widely, factors which can include the type of service, service location, and insurance provider, among others. The following definitions are provided to help patients understand this information:
What is a charge?
A hospital charge is a federally-required maximum list price for an item or service that does not reflect any negotiated discount. Federal reporting rules require hospitals to maintain a catalog of tens of thousands of procedure codes, code descriptions and list prices in a complex accounting tool, known as the hospital chargemaster. Although virtually no one pays full charges, federal regulations require hospitals to uniformly apply the full list price or charge to all patients who receive a specific item or service.
How are charges different from actual payments?
Medicare and Medicaid reimburse hospitals using complex formulas that often pay less than the actual cost of providing care. Private health insurance plans also negotiate significant discounts. Uninsured patients often qualify for hospital financial assistance policies, including free care. Media reports often confuse charges with actual or expected payments. These news stories also neglect to mention that hospitals' uncompensated care costs – the difference between actual payments and the cost of providing care – reached $38.3 billion in 2016. (Source:
How can consumers receive a clearer customized estimate of their out-of-pocket costs?
When planning an elective procedure, insured individuals should contact Medicare or their commercial health plan for information on plan design, provider networks and out-of-pocket payment responsibilities, such as deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums. Patients should also contact a hospital financial counselor to request a customized total estimated price of services.
What other hospital comparison tools exist to improve transparency for consumers?
Since 2006, Louisiana hospitals have offered comparative pricing and quality information to consumers through a consumer-friendly website, Louisiana Hospital Inform at Medicare provides a similar comparison tool for consumers at Both websites offer tools for consumers who want to compare value, including surveys of patients' experiences and information on timely and effective care.
Elements that Impact Cost
There are four key drivers of cost that vary by region, community, and individual hospital:
1. Services provided for the patient's individual care needs.
2. Care for people who are unable to pay.
3. Medicare and Medicaid underpayments. These government programs pay less than the cost of caring for patients.
4. 24/7 readiness to meet communities' healthcare needs.
Every bill reflects the cost of all of these elements:
 - Uncompensated care – care provided for which no payment is received – is figured into overall hospital costs.
 - Charges also reflect the costs of being able to respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and these costs must be allocated across all consumers who receive hospital services.
 - Hospital payments vary because they reflect the individual hospital's mission, the patient population it serves and the subsidies necessary to provide essential public services.
 - A hospital that provides vital, highly-specialized services as well as scarce or high-cost services such as trauma or burn units, has a different cost structure and pricing than one that does not. Hospitals that train physicians and other healthcare professionals, conduct medical research or care for a large number of uninsured individuals also have higher costs.
The Challenge in Calculating Costs
According to a recent GAO report, consumer's complete cost: "incorporates any negotiated discounts; is inclusive of all costs associated with a particular healthcare service, such as hospital, physician and lab fees; and identifies consumers' out-of-pocket costs." The report lists barriers to estimating a consumer's complete cost:
1. Patients have unique healthcare needs.
 - It is difficult to predict in advance all the services that will be provided for an episode of care.
 - Physicians often do not decide what services their patients will need until after examining them.
 - Aspects associated with the delivery of a service may be difficult to predict in advance, such as the length of time a patient stays in a hospital.
2. Health plans have information on consumer cost sharing.
 - Providers lack information on "the status of consumers' cost sharing under their specific health benefit plan, such as how much consumers have spent in out-of-pocket costs or towards their
 deductible at any given time. Without this information, physicians may have difficulty providing accurate out-of-pocket estimates for insured consumers."
3. Legal barriers restrict information on negotiated rates.
 - Contracts may prohibit the sharing of negotiated rates with the insurer's members on their price transparency initiatives' websites.
 - There may be concerns about sharing negotiated rates because of the proprietary nature of the information and because of anti-trust law concerns.
4. Health plans narrow their provider networks and do not reveal the "allowable amounts" they set to reimburse out-of-network physicians.
 - Consumers may have to contact multiple providers to obtain estimates of their complete costs.

Comparison of the Navy Working Capital Fund and mission funding as applied to Navy shipyards [electronic resource] /
Abstract (Summary)The dramatic political and economic events, both globally and within the United States, during the early 1990s led to significant changes to the Navy shipyard organizational structure. As part of the Navy maintenance regionalization and consolidation program, the financial management system used to manage these commands has been changed. Specifically, the Navy has shifted two of its four shipyards, with authorization to shift the other two in FY07, from the Navy Working Capital Fund to mission funding through direct congressional appropriations. This funding shift has raised questions about the advantages and disadvantages each financial system provides shipyards, the operating differences that occur due to the funding change, and the future financial consequences of funding Navy shipyards using direct appropriations. This thesis identifies the advantages and disadvantages of the Navy Working Capital Fund and the mission funding model in the context of a Navy shipyard environment and determines whether the change in financial structure provides an overall benefit that should be pursued for all shipyards.

The word Legitimacy means something which is good and right. Why the thing is right may be because it follows the law, a religion says it is right, or maybe it is naturally right. People may not agree about what is right, and because of this they may not agree what "Legitimacy" is and what is "Legitimate".
This page is about two different uses of the word "Legitimacy"
Political Legitimacy [change]
When a government is accepted by many people it is considered to have "Legitimacy".
In the past, some different reasons were used to make people accept a government. In the Zhou Dynasty of old China the rulers said they were given the "Mandate of Heaven" which means that the ruler was chosen by God. This has some similarity with "The Divine Right of Kings" in Europe, where old European kings would say they were chosen by God.
In the time of The Enlightenment, John Locke wrote that Legitimacy came from the agreement of the people under the government. In Western thinking, this has become the accepted meaning. Not all the people must agree, only most of the people. Most of the people must agree that the government is the best way to make laws and rule, if the government has Legitimacy.
Max Weber said there are three kinds of Legitimacy:
- Charismatic LegitimacyLegitimacy from people believing that a certain person is special and is the person most able to be a good leader. This may be because the person is very good at talking or many people like the person. Sometimes people will believe that the person is powerful because of a religion or God chose the person. This is also "Charismatic Legitimacy".
- Traditional LegitimacyWhen a government is accepted by the people because it has similarity to governments in the past. When the people are ruled in the same way for a long time many may believe this government is good and changing will be bad.
- Rational-Legal LegitimacyWhen a government has laws that make the rulers listen to what the people say and do what is good for the people.
Children and Families [change]
In common law, legitimacy is the status of a child who is born to parents who are legally married to one another. In the opposite, illegitimacy describes someone whose parents were not married; such a person was called "illegitimate", literally means "not legal" (against the law).
People's attitude towards illegitimacy has varied a lot in different parts of the world. In the Western world, especially in countries which were very religious, it was thought to be very bad for parents to have a child if they were not married. It was thought to be a sin. Illegitimate children were often called bastards. In older times, such children were often brought up by other people, sometimes by relatives.
Today people's attitude has changed a lot, and the laws have changed so that people born to unmarried parents are not discriminated against unfairly. In the United States, people are not described any longer as "illegitimate" but as "born out of wedlock" ("wedlock" means "marriage"). In the United Kingdom the idea of illegitimacy was stopped by law in 1991. Fathers now have a responsibility to their children, even if they were born out-of-wedlock.
Many religions still think that sex outside marriage is a sin, although they no longer say that the child lives in a state of sin.

When trying to solve the Schrödinger equation for hydrogen, one usually splits up the wave function into two parts:
$\psi(r,\phi,\theta)= R(r)Y_{l,m}(\phi,\theta)$
I understand that the radial part usually has a singularity for the 1s state at $r=0$ and this is why you remove it by writing:
$R(r) = \frac{U(r)}{r}$
But what is the physical meaning of $R(r=0) = \infty$. Wouldn't this mean that the electron cloud is only at the centre of the atomic nucleolus?
Thanks in advance!

The infinitesimal probability for the electron to be in the volume $dV$ around a point $(r,\theta,\phi)\leftrightarrow (x,y,z)$ is given by $$ dP = dV\cdot |\psi(x,y,z)|^2 = dV\cdot |R(r)|^2\cdot |Y_{lm}(\theta,\phi)|^2 =\dots$$ as you can see if you substitute your Ansatz for the wave function. However, the infinitesimal volume $dV=dx\cdot dy\cdot dz$ may be rewritten in terms of differentials of the spherical coordinates as $$ dV = dr\cdot r^2 \cdot d\Omega = dr\cdot r^2 \cdot \sin\theta\cdot d\theta\cdot d\phi $$ where the small solid angle $d\Omega$ was rewritten in terms of the spherical coordinates. You see that for dimensional reasons (or because the surface of a sphere scales like $r^2$), there is an extra factor of $r^2$ in $dV$ and therefore also in $dP$ which suppresses the probability. There is simply not enough volume for small values of $r$.
So $|R(r)|^2$ may still go like $1/r^2$ for small $r$ and in that case, $dV$ will be proportional to $dr$ times a function that is finite for $r\to 0$. Such $dP$ may be integrated and there's no divergence at all near $r=0$.
That's why one should allow the wave function to go like $1/r$ near $r=0$ which is the true counterpart of one-dimensional wave function's being finite near a point. However, Nature doesn't use this particular loophole because the wave function $\psi$ for small $r$ actually scales like $r^l$ where $l$ is the orbital quantum number and the wave function actually never diverges even though it could.

The physical observable is not the wavefunction, but its integral over a finite area. In spherical coordinates, this is:
$P({\vec x})=\int dr\, d\theta\, d\phi r^{2}\sin\theta \psi^{*}\psi$
This integrand is manifestly finite at $r=0$, even if $R(r)$ has a $\frac{1}{r}$ divergance.

Dear _USER_, you were a minute faster but shorter ;-). I think that $\sin^2\theta$ should be just $\sin\theta$. – Luboš Motl Apr 26 '12 at 16:32
Indeed! I'm so used to writing the metric that I forgot the square root. – Jerry Schirmer Apr 26 '12 at 17:16
Good way to phrase the priorities. ;-) – Luboš Motl Apr 26 '12 at 18:09
For a hydrogen-like atom in 3 spatial dimensions, the rewriting of the radial part
is not performed to keep the $u(r)$ part regular, as OP suggests, but usually because the 3D radial equation in terms of the $u$ function has the same form as a 1D Schrödinger equation.
Imagine that the radial wave function goes as a power
$$R(r) ~\sim ~ r^{p} \qquad {\rm for} \qquad r~\to~ 0, \qquad p~\in~\mathbb{R}.$$
On general grounds, one can impose the following list of consistency conditions, listed with the weakest condition first and the strongest condition last.
 1. Normalizability of the wave function $$\infty~>~\langle\psi|\psi\rangle~=~\int d^3r~|\psi(\vec{r})|^2 ~\propto~ \int_0^{\infty} r^{2}dr~|R(r)|^2.$$ Integrability at $r=0$ yields that the power $p>-\frac{3}{2}$. In other words, this normalizability condition does not by itself imply that $R(r)$ or $u(r)$ should be regular at $r=0$, which is also the conclusion of many of the other answers.
 2. The expectation value of the potential energy $V$ should be bounded from below, $$-\infty~<~\langle\psi| V|\psi\rangle~=~\int d^3r~V(r)|\psi(\vec{r})|^2~\propto~-\int_0^{\infty} rdr~|R(r)|^2. $$ Integrability at $r=0$ yields that the power $p>-1$. In other words, $u(r)$ should be regular for $r\to 0$.
 3. The kinetic energy operator (or equivalently, the Laplacian $\Delta$) should behave self-adjointly for two wave functions $\psi_1(\vec{r})$ and $\psi_2(\vec{r})$, $$\langle\psi_1| \Delta\psi_2\rangle~=~-\langle\vec{\nabla}\psi_1| \cdot\vec{\nabla}\psi_2\rangle,$$ without picking up pathological contributions at $r=0$. A detailed analysis shows that the powers of the radial parts of $\psi_1(\vec{r})$ and $\psi_2(\vec{r})$ should satisfy $p>-\frac{1}{2}$.
In comparison, the actual bound state solutions have non-negative $p=\ell\in \mathbb{N}_0$, and therefore satisfy these three conditions.

In addition to the simply geometric constraints that Jerry and Lubos talk about, the derivation used to illustrate the problem almost always assumes that the proton is a point particle which is a pretty good approximation but not strictly true. Working the problem again with a realistic proton charge density function (roughly constant inside a radius of about 1 fm) would be another way to remove the singularity.
Mind you, you this argument does not hold true for the positronium so you still need the geometric constraint.

Re:positronium: wouldn't sub-Compton-wavelength renormalization of the Coulomb law soften the singularity? – Slaviks Apr 26 '12 at 19:28
_USER_: I'm a little on thin ice here, but I think that renormalization does solve the problem, but that's in the context of QFT, while this question seem to be phrased in the language of introductory QM. – dmckee Apr 26 '12 at 19:53
Sure, I was just entertaining the concept :) There is no singularity in the w.f., worrying in about the radial part is just staring at a singularity if the coordinate system, imho. – Slaviks Apr 26 '12 at 19:56
For Hydrogen, $R(r)$ does not diverge, as $U(r)$ vanishes as fast as (or faster than) $r$ as $r\rightarrow 0$. In fact, it's only for the $s$ orbitals that the wavefunction is non zero at $r=0$. But as pointed out before, a non-zero radial wavefunction does not mean a non-zero probability of finding the electron at the center.

how to tell female from male weed seeds
Male vs. female cannabis: How to determine the sex of your plant
In the world of plants, reproduction can happen in a variety of ways. Monoecious plants produce two different types of flowers on the same plant, and hermaphrodite plants grow single flowers that have both male and female reproductive organs.
This is important for a breeder to achieve new genetics, but most growers remove the males to allow females to produce seedless buds, also called sinsemilla. These are the resinous buds that appear on the store shelf; they all come from female plants.

Seeded buds are generally regarded as low-quality cannabis. When seeds are present, the smoke is harsh and unpleasant.
Female genetics can be guaranteed by obtaining clones and feminized seeds. If, however, you're working with regular seeds and are unsure of your seed's sex, knowing how to determine the sex of your plant is vital to developing new genetics, gathering seeds, or growing sinsemilla.
Sexing cannabis plants is easy. Let's see how to tell.
Check out these additional resources for more info on cannabis seeds:
How to determine the sex of a cannabis plant
Female cannabis pre-flowers grow as tiny bracts with hair-like stigma peeking out. Male plants produce small, round balls at the nodes. (Amy Phung/Leafly)
Cannabis plants show their sex by what grows in between their nodes (where leaves and branches extend from the stalk). Pollen sacs will develop on a male plant to spread seeds and stigma will develop on a female to catch pollen. You can see these differences weeks before they actually start serving their purposes in the reproduction cycle. These are known as "pre-flowers."
Pre-flowers begin to develop four weeks into growth, but they may take a little longer depending on how quickly the sprouting phase occurs. By the sixth week, you should be able to find the pre-flowers and confidently determine the sex of your plant.
Pre-flowers can initially be extremely small and hard to identify with the naked eye, but you can use a magnifying glass to get a better look. Examine the nodes of the plant and look for either the early growth of small sacs on a male, or two bracts on a female, which will eventually produce the hair-like stigma.
Though there are other methods to determine what sex the plant is, examining pre-flower formation is the most reliable.
Removing males early on is important for two reasons: it frees up space in your garden so females can grow bigger and stronger, and it prevents males from pollinating females.
What are hermaphrodite cannabis plants?
Hermaphrodite cannabis can express both sex organs and self-pollinate. (Amy Phung/Leafly)
When a female plant develops both male and female sex organs, it is considered a hermaphrodite. This means your cannabis plant is now capable of producing pollen that can pollinate your entire garden. "Herming out," as some call it, is something that generally happens when a plant becomes excessively stressed. Some plant stressors include:
 - Plant damage
 - Bad weather
 - Disease
 - Nutrient deficiencies
There are two types of hermaphrodite plants:
 - A plant that develops both buds and pollen sacs
 - A plant that produces anthers, commonly referred to as "bananas" due to their appearance
While both result in pollen production, true hermaphrodites produce sacs that need to rupture, while anthers are exposed, pollen-producing stamen.
Because this occurs when cannabis is under stress, it's important to monitor plants after they have been exposed to stressors—indoors: high temperatures or light leaks are often the cause; outdoors: a snapped branch might be repaired and then turn into a hermaphrodite.
The other primary cause of hermaphrodite plants lies in the plant's genetics. A plant with poor genetics or a history of hermaphrodite development should be avoided to protect your garden. If you notice any pollen sacs or anthers at any point, remove the plant from your garden immediately to prevent pollination of female plants.
If you're interested in pollinating portions of your crop, remember that pollen is extremely potent and very good at traveling. Keep your males intended for pollination far from your garden space and work carefully with that pollen.

Determining the sex of your cannabis plant is vital to achieving your growing goals. Luckily, sexing cannabis plants is easier than one might think.

This can make it people hesitant to volunteer.
So here are some strategies to ease people's mind:
 1. Speak with them. If they know that they only have to do part of a talk, it make the idea much more approachable.
 2. Help them craft a topic. What people often don't understand is that they have a lot of topics they could talk about. Whether it's case studies, or personal projects, work with them to come up with a topic so they don't feel the burden of doing it all by themselves.

The Seven Kingdoms
Strom continued to act as the central hub of Arathor, but as with Dalaran, many new city-states arose across the continent of Lordaeron. Gilneas, Alterac, and Kul Tiras were the first city-states to arise, and although they each had their own customs and commercial workings, they all held to the unifying authority of Strom.
Under the vigilant watch of the Order of Tirisfal, Dalaran became the chief center of learning for magicians throughout the land. The Magocrats who ruled Dalaran founded the Kirin Tor, a specialized sect that was charged with cataloguing and researching every spell, artifact, and magic item known to mankind at the time.
Gilneas and Alterac became strong supporters of Strom and developed mighty armies that explored the mountainous southern lands of Khaz Modan. It was during this period that humans first met the ancient race of dwarves and traveled to their cavernous subterranean city of Ironforge. The humans and dwarves shared many secrets of metal-smithing and engineering and discovered a common love for battle and storytelling.
The city-state of Kul Tiras, founded upon a large island south of Lordaeron, developed a prosperous economy based on fishing and shipping. Over time, Kul Tiras built up a mighty fleet of merchant vessels that sailed throughout the known lands in search of exotic goods to trade and sell. Yet even as the economy of Arathor flourished, its strongest elements began to disintegrate.
In time, the lords of Strom sought to move their estates to the lush northlands of Lordaeron and leave the arid lands of the south. The heirs of King Thoradin, the last descendants of the Arathi bloodline, argued that Strom should not be abandoned and thus incurred the displeasure of the greater citizenry, who were likewise eager to leave. The lords of Strom, seeking to find purity and enlightenment in the untamed north, decided to leave their ancient city behind. Far to the north of Dalaran, the lords of Strom built a new city-state which they named Lordaeron. The entire continent would take its name from this city-state. Lordaeron became a mecca for religious travelers and all those who sought inner peace and security.
The descendents of the Arathi, left within the crumbling walls of ancient Strom, decided to travel south past the rocky mountains of Khaz Modan. Their journey finally ended after many long seasons, and they settled in the northern region of the continent they would name Azeroth. In a fertile valley they founded the kingdom of Stormwind, which quickly became a self-sufficient power in its own right.
The few warriors still left in Strom decided to remain and guard the ancient walls of their city. Strom was no longer the center of the empire, but it developed into a new nation known as Stromgarde. Though each of the city-states became prosperous in its own right, the empire of Arathor had effectively disintegrated. As each nation developed its own customs and beliefs, they became increasingly segregated from one another. King Thoradin's vision of a unified humanity had faded at last.
