Documentary film
The film about Věra Čáslavská is an evaluation of her life. With her seven gold and four silver Olympic medals, she represents the most successful Czechoslovak sportswoman of all time as well as the fourth most successful Olympic sportswoman of the world. After her breathtaking victory at the Summer Olympics in Mexico City in 1968, she was pronounced the second most popular woman of the planet after Jacqueline Kennedy. In 1968, she signed the 2000 Words Manifesto which she never withdrew. Despite her enormous fame, which she deserved for her incredibly hard work and endurance, she lived a troubled life (political situation during normalization, marriage, family tragedy). Her unique life story reflects the situation in the Czech society, both in the communist and democratic regime. In both cases, she was active in the civil sphere. She considers her sporting past as a few moments of fame which can hardly make up for her troublesome life. Today, Věra is 68 years old. 42 years have passed since her fascinating sports career. She is still widely known in the Czech society as well as in Japan where she still earns fidelity and admiration. Her life story represents a unique phenomenon in the history of the Czech nation.

Archived - Digest of Benefit Entitlement Principles Chapter 10 - Section 1
This page has been archived on the Web
10.1.0 Authority
The primary purpose of the Employment Insurance plan is to compensate workers in case of involuntary unemployment. Simply having paid into the plan is not sufficient in order to be entitled to benefits. A claimant must prove there are no circumstances or conditions that exist that have the effect of disentitling or disqualifying the claimant from receiving benefits. There are three basic requirements in the legislation, in relation to a claimant's availability for work, which must be met.
The legislation indicates that a claimant is not entitled to be paid benefits for any working day in a benefit period, for which the claimant fails to prove that on that day, the claimant was:
 1. capable of and available for work; and
 2. unable to obtain suitable employment.
 In order to reinforce these two requirements, the necessity to personally seek employment was explicitly added in 1971, so that waiting passively for an offer of work is generally considered inadequate. Consequently the Commission may require the claimant to prove;
 3. they are making reasonable and customary efforts to obtain suitable employment
These requirements are directly linked to the meaning of "suitable employment". Claimants are not required to be available for and seeking employment that is not considered suitable pursuant to the EI Regulations.
The legislation includes specific criteria that are used in determining whether an employment opportunity is suitable for a particular claimant.
 1. the claimant's health and physical capabilities allow them to commute to the place of work and to perform the work;
 2. the hours of work are not incompatible with the claimant's family obligations or religious convictions;
 3. the nature of the work is not contrary to the claimant's moral convictions or religious beliefs;
These criteria will not vary during the course of a claimant's benefit period. Neither the length of time the claimant is unemployed nor the number of weeks the claimant is receiving regular benefits will affect these criteria. Other factors such as previous occupation(s), wages, working hours and conditions, the terms of employment and commuting times along with labour market information, will also indicate what would be acceptable in regards to job search and suitable employment for a claimant.
Claimants are expected to make sustained job search efforts that are directed towards obtaining suitable employment. The legislation sets out specific criteria to be considered when determining whether the efforts the claimant is making to obtain suitable employment, are reasonable and customary. Those criteria include nine activities that can be conducted to assist in obtaining suitable employment:
 1. assessing employment opportunities;
 2. preparing a resume or cover letter;
 3. registering for job search tools or with electronic job banks or employment agencies;
 4. attending job search workshops or job fairs;
 5. networking;
 6. contacting prospective employers;
 7. submitting job applications;
 8. attending interviews; and
 9. undergoing evaluations of competencies.

10.1.1 Applicability
Every person claiming benefits must prove they are available for work except for claimants who are entitled to benefits because; they are pregnant, they are caring for one or more new born children of the claimant or for one or more children placed with them for the purpose of adoption, they are caring for or supporting a family member who has a serious medical condition with a significant risk of death, or they are providing care or support to a family member who is critically ill or injured.
Furthermore, some claimants are considered to be available for work even though they may not in reality be available: those attending a course or program of instruction or employment activity for which they were referred by the Commission or designated authority, and those working in work-sharing employment. A similar provision applies to some situations unique to the fishing industry.
For individuals claiming sickness benefits, non-availability for work must stem solely from the incapacity.
[ January 2014 ]
10.1.2 Availability defined
Availability for work depends on a claimant's willingness and ability to apply for, accept, take advantage of and actively seek all opportunities for suitable employment. It implies that the claimant is unable to obtain suitable employment and sincerely wishes to return to the labour market as soon as possible, as demonstrated by an active search for employment.
For the above principles to apply, an individual must first of all be capable of work. Ability to work refers to the physical strength and/or experience required to perform the duties of employment in an occupation that is considered to be suitable under the legislation.
While being available presupposes one sincerely wants to work, a willingness to work is not synonymous with being available for work. Availability for work is primarily a subjective matter which must be considered in light of a claimant's intention. This can be done by examining statements, actions and restrictions, as well as the concern shown by an individual towards finding employment. However, it must also be viewed objectively by examining a person's prospects of employment in relation to the objective circumstances, whether created deliberately or not. This includes any limitations caused by partial incapacity, transportation difficulties and personal or family constraints.
Clearly, a claimant is not required to accept a job which is recognized as unsuitable. To determine if a particular employment is suitable, reference should be made to the legislative criteria that define suitable employment.
[ January 2014 ]
10.1.3 Guiding questions
When determining whether availability for work has been proven, the following questions will be helpful:
 1. Does the claimant's attitude reflect a sincere desire to work or, conversely, the lack of concern of a person not really seeking employment?
 2. Are there any circumstances which obstruct the claimant's desire to work?
 3. Is the claimant's willingness to work subject to expectations which greatly reduce chances of obtaining employment?
 4. Has the claimant's inability to obtain suitable employment been tested through personal efforts to find work?
The circumstances surrounding a separation from employment, personal efforts made to find work and the interest shown when a new job opportunity arises, are all factors that must be considered in assessing a person's attitude toward accepting employment.
Circumstances which obstruct the desire to work include any circumstances beyond the claimant's control such as physical limitations or family constraints. These circumstances may be distinguished from other restrictions arising out of one's own choice, such as when a person is simply not prepared to accept certain working conditions which would be considered suitable. Claimants who do not prove they are available for work, will be disentitled from receiving benefits
10.1.4 Imposition of and duration of disentitlement
When a claimant fails to prove they are capable of and available for work, and unable to obtain suitable employment, including situations where the claimant fails to prove that reasonable and customary efforts have been made to obtain suitable employment, the claimant is disentitled from receiving benefits from that date until the claimant can prove these circumstances no longer exist. Such a disentitlement can be imposed concurrently with another disentitlement for a separate reason, and can also be imposed at the same time as a disqualification.
A disentitlement for non-availability, like any other disentitlement, commences and ends on one of the five working days between Monday and Friday. Any Statutory Holiday falling between Monday and Friday is still considered to be a working day. It is not possible to disentitle a claimant for a half-day, nor can extenuating circumstances reduce the length of a disentitlement.
Once a condition of entitlement, such as availability for work, is not met, an indefinite disentitlement is imposed as of that working day. If the claimant is no longer available for work as of a Saturday or a Sunday, then the indefinite disentitlement is imposed as of the following Monday. For example, if a claimant leaves his home area for the purpose of a vacation on Saturday, May 28, 2016 the indefinite disentitlement would be imposed as of Monday, May 30, 2016.
An indefinite disentitlement can be terminated only as of the working day before the day the condition of entitlement is met. If the same claimant returns from his vacation and is available for work as of Wednesday, May 18, 2016, the disentitlement would be terminated as of Tuesday, May17, 2016.
A disentitlement for non-availability can also be imposed for a definite period of time if it is known when the condition of entitlement was again met.
No benefits can be paid for any working day of disentitlement. If this day occurs in the waiting period, one-fifth of the weekly rate of benefit is carried forward and deducted during the first three weeks in which benefits become payable. If the working day of disentitlement occurs outside the waiting period, one-fifth of the weekly rate of benefit is deducted from benefits payable for that week.
A disentitlement that covers a full Monday to Friday week is not considered to be a week of benefits paid and therefore does not by itself, reduce the potential number of weeks of benefits payable in a benefit period. Any week in which at least one dollar is paid, counts as a week of benefits paid.

Share Buyback Definition: Day Trading Terminology
Share Buyback
A share buyback refers to a process where a company initiates the purchase of its shares thus reducing the outstanding shares in the open market. Also referred to as repurchase, it is a program whereby a company purchases its shares from the marketplace since the management has found out that the shares are undervalued.
The program also allows the company to purchase its shares directly from the marketplace or they may offer their shareholders an opportunity of selling their shares back to the company at a fixed price. As a result, the company is able to increase its earnings per share thus elevating its market value for the remaining shares.
Once the purchase is complete, the shares are usually cancelled or held as treasury shares. This is because they can no longer be traded on the open market.
How A Share Buyback Works
There are two methods which can be implemented by a company.
Method One – Shareholders are presented with a tender offer by the company. As a result, they will now have a chance of submitting or tendering a portion or all of their shares. This transaction should be completed within a given time period.
The tendering offer is usually provided at a premium rate in comparison to the market price. Thanks to the premium rate, shareholders are compensated for selling their shares back to the company.
Method Two – In this method, a company will opt to purchase its shares directly from the marketplace. This will happen over an extended period. The purchase is initiated by an outlined share repurchase program which stipulates that shares can be bought from the marketplace at specific duration's or at regular intervals.
In order for a company to complete this type of transaction, they will take on debt together with cash on hand or from its cash flow.
Reasons Why Companies Repurchase Stock
There are few different reasons why a company would buyback stock. Below we'll go over each reason in detail.
Reduce The Overall Cost Of Capital – You already know that shares represent a portion or stake in the ownership of a company. A company will always sell shares to investors with the goal of acquiring funds in order to expand. When there are no opportunities for growth, it means the shareholders will be holding unused equity funding which translates to sharing ownership with no benefit. By buying back its shares, the company helps to reduce the cost of capital.
Take Advantage Of Undervaluation – There are several reasons why the stock of a company may be undervalued. Some of them include the company may have diversified away from its core high return business, the company has not paid or has cut back on dividends or it's too complex. If this happens, the company may opt to buyback its shares at a lower price and re-issue them once the market has improved.
To Make The Company Appear Attractive To Investors – When the number of outstanding shares is reduced, the company's earnings per share ratio is increased automatically. As a result, short term traders will invest in the company in order to make quick profits. What you need to know is that this may also happen before the buyback. Due to the influx of investors, the stock's price will rise boosting the company's price to earnings ratio.
Final Thoughts
You may be wondering if a buyback is good or bad for the company. Well, this depends on the current situation. If the company is undervalued and a buyback helps to make it attractive or improve its market value, then it is a good decision to make. In case the company is using share buyback to prop up ratios and also to provide short-term relief to its share price, then it could result in disaster.

A Study on the Awareness of Teachers about Social Media
Ph.D. Research Scholar
Mother Teresa Womens' University, Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, India
The present study has been conducted among 72 teachers belong to various schools in all over Tamil Nadu to find out the awareness towards social media. The researcher used a self constructed tool for this research. The data collected was analysed and interpreted to draw inference using appropriate statistical methods like mean, standard deviation, t-test, and F-test. The result shows that there is a significant difference between the awareness of teachers towards social media with respect to the type of school, the teachers who have smart phones, and locality. Also it is revealed that there is no significant difference between the awareness of teachers towards social media with respect to the awareness of number of social sites and the time they spend in using social media.

SpongeBob SquarePants

on ESB
Sea Urchins on SpongeBob
Sea Urchins are animals that appear in SpongeBob SquarePants. They inhabit Jellyfish Cave. They appeared in a few episodes including Nature Pants, Pre-Hibernation Week, Your Shoes Untied, and No Hat for Pat.
In Squidward's School for Grown-Ups, a much more bigger and brown sea urchin is seen throughout the episode sleeping on Patrick's face thought to be a beard. It later woke up due to Patrick's tears and left. It is, by far, the only sea urchin that could actually talk.
The Sea Urchins make their largest appearance in the episode Eek! An Urchin. It started out as one urchin causing trouble at the Krusty Krab. The situation was so bad that even Plankton decided to help (by using a robot and even dressing as a female urchin). It was eventually discovered that there were many sea urchins hiding under the stove. SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs eventually got them out but SpongeBob ended up putting them back into the Krusty Krab again.
A Sea Urchin also appears in Plankton's Pet where it, along with a Guard Worm and a Sea Monkey were released from their cages at the Pet Store and attempted to attack SpongeBob and Plankton. However, the Sea Urchin and the other animals were scared back into their cages by Spot. Like with the one from Squidward's School for Grown-Ups," this Sea Urchin has a mouth and two eyes.
As seen in the episode Eek! An Urchin, the sea urchins are shown to have a crafty side to them. They manage to move around and dodge all of SpongeBob, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Plankton's attempts at catching them. They
Sea Urchin 2

also have mouths and seem to talk in their own language. The Sea Urchins even have superhuman strength as only one urchin managed to drag SpongeBob across the floor while being trapped in a bucket and even pick up Mr. Krabs by the end of the broom, spin him around, then slam him numerous of times.
Only in the episode Squidward's School for Grown-Ups, there was a sea urchin that could actually talk. It also had eyes (which even the sea urchins from Eek! An Urchin don't have).
 - Unlike sea urchins in real life, they climb and bite fish, and they don't have spines to hurt them.
 - Unlike in other episodes, the sea urchins that appear in the episode Eek! An Urchin are blue instead of black. They are also bigger and rounder.
 - Both the brown sea urchin from Squidward's School For Grown-Ups and all of the blue urchins from
 The brown urchin from Squidward's School for Grown-Ups.
 and Eek! An Urchin are all male since the brown sea urchin had a male voice and called SpongeBob (who was dressed as a female viking) a "cutie" and the blue sea urchins all feel in love with Plankton dressed as a female urchin (named Planktonella).
 - Funny, both of these types of urchins are classified as male due to them thinking a male character is really female.
 - As seen in the episode Growth Spout, sea urchins can actually be eaten as one of the foods Mr. Krabs takes from Squidward's fridge was Pickled Urchins.

An investigation into paint ingredients found that limestone, a source of calcium, is
often a key ingredient in paint. Scientists theorize that Blue Jays are eating paint chips
for the calcium. Deborah Jasak and others found that offering eggshells, another good
source of calcium, stopped the paint-chipping behavior.
the Birdscope article was published, more reports came in, and new information
about the relationship between acidic soil and calcium availability in the northeast came
to light. An updated article, published in the January/February 2003 issue of Bird
Watcher's Digest, incorporates the new information and points out that Lab
scientists believe the Blue Jays are stashing away, or caching, calcium for spring.
Scientists theorize that the Blue Jays, especially in the northeast, may cache calcium
before the breeding season because naturally occurring calcium may be in short supply.
As snow covers the ground throughout much of the northeast during
the 2002-2003 winter, we are again hearing numerous reports of Blue Jays eating house
paint. If Blue Jays are chipping the paint on your house, consider offering them
eggshells. You can learn how to provide eggshells safely in our About Birds and Bird
Feeding Section (scroll down the What to Feed Birds
page to the section on grit).
You can learn more about calcium consumption in birds from research
conducted by the Lab in 1997 and 1998, as reported in BirdScope.

We Stop Financial Abuse, Sue Nursing Homes & Contest Wills
When Can You Contest a Will?
When Can You Contest a Will?
When someone passes away and leaves behind a Last Will and Testament, this document details how the deceased's property is to be distributed and who is to be charged with settling their estate.
Sometimes, relatives do not believe the will reflects the deceased's last wishes or they have different types of objections to the contents of the will. In these cases, they can resort to a will contest, filing a lawsuit to invalidate the will.
This type of lawsuit involves several stages. The stress of litigation can sometimes add to the pain and suffering of having lost a loved one, therefore, having an experienced will contest attorney is essential to ensure legal success and peace of mind.
Legal Standing
Before considering a will contest, you must first establish whether you have standing to contest the will in question. In order to contest a will, plaintiffs have to fulfill certain requirements. Sometimes a will can be contested by an organization, for example, a charity. Whether the will is being contested by an individual or an entity, the party involved must be an heir, a beneficiary, or a fiduciary that was named in a previous will.
Timely Filing
There is a statute of limitations on will contests across US states. In general, you have two years to file a will challenge in the majority of jurisdictions, but the time limit is only one year -or lessin some states. If the person challenging the will is a minor, the beginning date is the day he turns 18, in most states.
Judges can sometimes waive the statute of limitations if they believe there is sufficient merit to make an exception.
The time starts running after the will is presented to the court for probate, for which executors generally have four years, counting from the time of death.
Grounds to Contest a Will
Besides having legal standing, will challengers must have grounds to contest the validity of the document.
Some acceptable grounds to contest are will are:
1. Testamentary Capacity
Minors lack testamentary capacity in most cases and across most jurisdictions. Thus, a will written by a minor is often invalid.
Cognitively challenged adults, including those with dementia or severe psychiatric problems, do not have testamentary capacity. The same is true for wills signed under the influence of certain substances.
2. Fraud, Forgery, and Undue Influence
If someone was manipulated into writing a will, the document can also be deemed invalid. The same applies to forged signatures and fraudulent documents.
3. Existence of a More Recent Will
When an outdated will has been presented for probate, you can contest it by introducing the newer will, which trumps the previous one.
4. Availability of Witnesses
In most states, a will must be signed in the presence of two witnesses (who cannot be heirs) in order to be valid. Handwritten, unwitnessed wills are allowed by half of US states, but they can be easily challenged, because it must be proven that they were actually handwritten by the testator.
5. Validity of Will Provisions
States have different requirements for what a valid will must contain. If one of the basic elements is missing, the will can be challenged.
In general, a will must:
 - identify the testator
 - appoint an executor
 - include a clause that leaves at least one piece of property to a specific heir
6. Testator's Residence
Since different states have different legislation, sometimes an individual can challenge a will if it was filed in a state that is not that of the testator's residence.
Many of these issues are open to different types of legal interpretation and rules that vary state by state. Experience with will contests and a track record of successful litigation and outcomes are the main factors to consider when selecting a will contests attorney. If you believe that you were not treated fairly or were defrauded by undue influence upon the person making a will, call our experienced will contest lawyers for a no-cost no-obligation opinion on your options.

Fine soaps hand crafted in small batches
Soap on a Rope
Making soap on a rope is easy especially if you're making one out of soap scraps. That's right. We're using soap scraps to make soap on a rope either for your personal use or to give to someone else. Soap on a rope is something you can do to make use of those soap scraps instead of just throwing them away or letting it soak in your soap dish. Let's begin making your very first soap on a rope with the following steps.
First, you will need to prepare the materials needed for soap on a rope. These are the soap scraps, warm water, and nylons. You'll need 1 cup full of soap scraps to make soap on a rope. Now that you've gathered all the materials, let's start by breaking up the soap scraps into tiny little pieces. It will be best to use a grater or knife. That's how small it should get. Now, prepare a mixing bowl and place the grated soap scrapes in the bowl. Next, prepare a half cup of warm water. Pour it into the bowl and let it stand for about an hour.
After an hour, start kneading the soap and the water together as if you are kneading dough. Make sure to make it smooth and come up with the consistency of thick dough. If needed, add more warm water as needed. Make sure to add only a little at a time. You can use a tablespoon to make sure you only add little amount of water. If you want to add color, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture until the desired color is achieved. Blend well. Now, it's time to shape the mixture into a ball. Lay a piece of wax paper on the table and set the soap on top. It will take at least 24 hours to dry.
Once dry, cut about 12 inches nylon and create a loop around the soap ball. Tie the ends of the nylon above the soap ball. Now, you can hang your soap on a rope in the shower!

The A. V. rendering of the Hebrew "oren" (Isa. xliv. 14); R. V. has "fir-tree." According to TanḦum (quoted in Gesenius, "Thesaurus," under ), the word was used in later Hebrew in the sense of "mast." The plural, "oranim"—for which Hai Gaon uses the Aramaic form "ornan"—is mentioned in the Mishnah (Parah iii. 8) between cedars and cypresses. The tree belongs to the family of the conifers, has hard wood, and a tall, smooth, straight stem. This agrees with tradition and etymology. The Targum renders the word "urna," a Hexaplar addition to the Septuagint πίτνς; Jerome translates it pinus; while Maimonides and TanḦum explain it to be a kind of cedar. This, together with the evidence that comes from the Assyrian and Syriac equivalents, makes it evident that the term denotes some kind of fir. The most acceptable suggestion is that of Tristram, who sees in it the Aleppo pine (Pinus Halepensis). The word is not to be confounded with "aron," which occurs in the Talmud as the name of the laurel-tree.

Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created images of the heart's muscular layer that show, for the first time, the connection between the configuration of those muscles and the way the human heart contracts.
More precisely, they showed that the muscular band–which wraps around the inner chambers of the heart in a helix–is actually a sort of twisting highway along which each contraction of the heart travels.
Their findings were published in the December issue of the American Physiological Society journal, Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
Since the days of Leonardo da Vinci, observers of the human body have known that the heart's beat is not a simple in-and-out movement–that it has more than a little bit of a twist to it. "The heart twists to push blood out the same way you twist a wet towel to wring water out of it," explains Morteza Gharib, the principal investigator on the study, and the Hans W. Liepmann Professor of Aeronautics and professor of bioengineering in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science at Caltech.
Some 50 years ago, anatomist Francisco Torrent-Guasp was the first to show the helical configuration of the heart's myocardium–its muscular middle layer, the one that contracts with each heart beat.
But what he and subsequent generations of scientists were unable to do was to connect that myocardial band to the heart's function–to prove that the helical shape is important to the effective beating of the heart. Without that connection, physicians and scientists have tended to look at the heart as "just a piece of meat," says Gharib.
Until now, that is. Using a technique pioneered by Han Wen and his team at the National Institutes of Health, Gharib and his colleague Abbas Nasiraei Moghaddam, a Caltech graduate and visitor in bioengineering, were able to create some of the first dynamic images of normal myocardium in action at the tissue level. "We tagged and traced small tissue elements in the heart, and looked at them in space, so we could see how they moved when the heart contracts," Gharib explains. "In this way, we were able to see where the maximum physical contraction occurs in the heart and when–and to show that it follows this intriguing helical loop."
With each beat of the heart, a wave of contraction starts at the heart's apex–which, despite its name, is actually at the very bottom of the heart–and then travels up through the myocardium. "The only time the whole helix shows up in the images is at the end of systole, which is when the heart is contracting," says Gharib. "This simple band structure is akin to an engine behind the heart pumping action."
In addition to going a long way toward settling the decades-long structure/function debate surrounding Torrent-Guasp's work, this finding also has major implications for the surgical treatment of heart disease, Gharib says. "It's going to change the way we repair the heart," he explains. Knowing that the contractile wave travels along the helical pathway–instead of occurring throughout the heart all at once–has implications for which parts of the heart will be most vulnerable to a surgeon's scalpel, for instance. "Seventy-five percent of the function of the heart depends on this muscle," Gharib says. "Surgeons now know what to cut and what not to cut. This will help them to come up with new and more effective surgical procedures."
Dr Andrew Whitten, Dr Cy Jeffries and Professor Jill Trewhella, from the School of Molecular and Microbial Biosciences, University of Sydney, with Samantha Harris, from the University of California, USA, have the first data showing how a protein in heart muscle cells works to maintain regular heart function.

Why is seed source important
Many British native trees have been growing in the UK for over 8,000 years. During that time they have become well adapted to their local growing conditions, i.e. the climate, altitude and soil fertility. Seed collected from these trees will therefore produce the most suitable progeny for planting back into that locality when compared to using plants from continental Europe for example. For many years, plant specifiers have not asked enough questions regarding the source of the nursery stock they are planting. Much of the stock used to plant native woodlands has come from unsuitable sources outside the UK.
Local provenance - What does it mean? Why is it important?
The Forestry Commission has divided the UK into four Regions of Provenance; 10, 20, 30 and 40. These are then subdivided into 'local seed zone provenances' as shown on the Forestry Commission seed zone map. The local provenance boundaries are mainly based on natural boundaries formed by geological and climatic features of the UK. Maelor Forest Nurseries Ltd has been a key player in promoting the use of British seed sources, and endeavours to supply planting stock from as wide a range of UK provenances as possible each year. We recommend the use of the Forestry Commission's map of Seed Collection Areas (see below) and the associated table of native species to be encouraged in each zone. These are published in Forestry Commission Practice Note no. 8 and are helpful when choosing the right species for the right location. At Maelor, our seed collections are batched according to these areas. Plant specifiers should use the map as a tool for describing to nurserymen the provenance from which they wish to buy stock. The seed zone identity numbers shown on the map are listed in our catalogue against each batch of native plants.
There are a number of reasons for using local provenance stock for native woodland creation purposes:
Improved survival rates and productivity
Trees grown from British seed sources are able to withstand British weather conditions. Generations of trees living and reproducing in one location results in the trees adapting to expect, and thrive on, the local prevailing amount of rain, warmth, light etc. Trees subjected to a differing climate than their genetic origin has programmed them for will probably be less productive than local provenance trees, if indeed they even survive.
Protection of Environment and Wildlife
If a tree from Italy, France or even the south of England is planted in Scotland it is likely to flush (open buds) much earlier than the existing local trees, as its genetics require a much shorter cold period to convince it that winter is over and spring has begun than the local trees do. Differences like this will have knock on effects, for example the wrong amounts or types of food or shelter may be available at critical times of year. Leaves, flowers or fruits may not develop in time for when local insects or animals require them, or may develop too early and be damaged e.g. by late frosts.
Conservation of genetic material
Importing of European tree sources has resulted in hybridisation of tree genetics which could result in significant changes to the aesthetics and ecology of our landscape, for example there are very few native black poplar left in the UK - virtually all poplar seeds contain either hybrid or entirely introduced genetics.
As the UK's climate alters the trees that have adapted well to the previous weather patterns may begin to struggle! Woodland management approaches are altering; creating productive woodlands for the future will probably be best achieved by planting a carefully considered variety of species and provenances.
Effects of climate change on tree planting
Global climate change is widely accepted - wetter, warmer winters are predicted in the UK coupled with hotter drier summers, in the near future. Although this pattern hasn't been clearly seen in recent summers or winters, it is apparent that the UK weather is changing.
Concerns over the productivity of British woodlands in the future British climate have led to much debate and consultation regarding the sourcing of planting stock, and research is currently underway regarding this topic. The overriding conclusion seems to be that we cannot predict the future weather, and the only prediction we can make is that we expect more frequent and more extreme weather events.
The recurring ideas regarding insurance against a changing climate seem to include:
- Plant species mixtures - not all species will be affected to the same extent and some will be much more tolerant to varying conditions than others. The range of tolerance of any given species is important to be aware of, as extreme weather events (e.g. sharp winter frosts / storms or summer heatwaves/ droughts / floods) may end the survival of some species that previously survived in Britain.
- Provenance mixtures will provide some insurance, however tree species should be well matched to site conditions, e.g. trees from southern provenances may suffer frost damage in spring if planted on a more northerly site. The actual characteristics of the planting site must be considered, i.e. altitude, climate and even aspect when selecting planting stock. A damp north-westerly facing slope may suit an entirely different provenance or species than a warm dry south-easterly facing slope in a nearby location.
Provenance is everything when selecting planting stock, whether it is for native woodland creation or commercial timber production. Plant buyers should be fully aware of the characteristics of their site and their requirements, and request the most suitably sourced stock from nurseries to achieve maximum productivity in the long run. Forestry Commission bulletin 124 An Ecological Site Classification for Forestry in Great Britain (2001), by G. Pyatt, D. Ray and J. Fletcher is applicable to all types of woodland. It matches key site factors including soil classification with the ecological requirements of different tree species / woodland communities, and is a useful forest planning tool for a wide range of management objectives.
Where are our trees sourced from?
We produce the majority of our broadleaf stock from our own seed collections in all corners of the UK; we are therefore always on the look out for new seed collectors and new sites to collect seed from. If you are interested in collecting seed, or are a landowner or manager with a native woodland or large hedgerow that may be suitable for seed collections, then please contact Kirsty Brown by emailing _EMAIL_ or telephoning 01948 710606. Rates of pay for seed collections / landownership royalties on asking.
Our coniferous stock for productive commercial forestry is propagated or raised from the very best genetic material. Seed is obtained from seed orchards or specific stands with desirable characteristics. We are keeping up to date with current thinking and keeping aware of plans for forestry in the future, and selecting our seed sources accordingly to produce stock that will achieve the maximum possible productivity throughout its lifetime, even in the face of a changing climate. Our seed sourcing extends beyond the UK and we have links with companies across Europe and North America, this network allows our seed to be sourced from the best the world has to offer for a given species.

It's a pilot program that transports the past to the present at Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln.
"The possibilities are endless," said Bill Lopez who teaches a masters level education course at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
"There are more than 55 thousand souls buried here in Wyuka and every one has a story to tell," said Lopez.
His students are not placing flowers at grave sites, they are placing QR (quick response) codes.
"Why not have Q-R codes where people can take their own tour of the cemetery just by scanning their Smart Phones to the Q-R codes," said Lopez.
The technology sounds complicated, but the process is easy, scan a Smartphone to the QR code and read the information.
"The students have been uploading all of the information and so a visitor scans it and it takes them to the student's websites with all the information on the person or the family," said Lopez.
"And we found our information using ancestry.com and by also using the Nebraska Archives. So it was pretty interesting," said Katie Mohr who is a student of the course.
Students will use the technology in future classrooms.
"We are using a lot of I-pads and other technology and this is another great way to incorporate technology and history for the students," said Teresa Ulrich, who is a student of the course.
"We are learning ways to apply it in the classroom for when we become teachers which is really exciting," said Carly Weber who is a student of the course.
"I envision students all over the country adopting cemeteries like we adopt highways. Each student tries to find out more about the history of the people in there," said Lopez.
So present day technology, makes it possible for the future to reveal the past more accessibly.

Teacher Ryan Hari helps Nick Raska with an iPad during a math intensive class Jan. 11 at Parrish Middle School in Salem, Ore. / Timothy J. Gonzalez, (Salem, Ore.) Statesman Journal
SALEM, Ore. - iPad apps that college students have developed soon could help high school and middle school students crack the code of algebra, often a gatekeeper to college entry.
The tools assist teachers in diagnosing where students struggle and offer interactive solutions to put them on track.
One app called "Card Clutter" helps students understand the relative value of numbers by arranging cards in order with face values ranging from negative fractions to absolute numbers. Those expressions sometimes stump students when solving algebraic equations.
Many of the apps are available for free on iTunes.
The program is part of a joint effort with George Fox, Pacific, Western Oregon and Willamette universities to increase student success in algebra. They received a $740,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to create the Center for Algebraic Thinking.
"Algebra is the gateway to college," said Steve Rhine, the project's director and Willamette education professor. "It is most correlated with going to college of anything you take in high school."
In Oregon, 1 of 3 high school students failed the state math test last year. Rhine said the main reason is not understanding algebra.
Next year, the stakes will be raised. All high school students must pass the state math test to earn their high school diploma. Without interventions, Rhine said graduation rates will plummet.
Ryan Hari, a math teacher at Parrish Middle School here, is a fan of the technology, especially in his math-intensive classes for struggling students. He was one of the first to field-test the apps and received eight iPads as part of the grant.
Recently a handful of his students tapped the touch screens in rapid fire to solve for x.
"Do some 'Alge-Bingo' for me," he told Zack Sheldon, who quickly got to work.
"It makes it fun and easy," Sheldon said.
Programmers building apps for the project didn't design that app, but it motivates users thanks to bingo tiles given for every right answer.
Hari's students end up solving many more equations with the app than they would on paper, he said. Another benefit is instant feedback.
"I would be unable to give that amount of feedback to that many students that quickly," he said.
Rhine sees tablets as the textbooks of the future, another good reason to develop teaching tools for them.
He and 16 other educators started the first phase of the project two years ago when they combed through 800 studies on what makes algebra so hard.
They isolated 70 common pitfalls and posted them online at _URL_. The site breaks down each problem, common mistakes and solutions to help everyone from student teachers to veteran teachers plan lessons.
Willamette University also created an app development class, and students in it designed half the apps for the grant. Top students, including Stephanie Jones, went on to teach the independent study class the next year.
Jones said it was a great way to use her math skills, teaching skills and computer science skills at the same time.
She developed the "Diamond Factor" app, which helps students factor trinomials, an algebraic expression with three terms such as xÂ² + 8x + 16.
The three-year grant wraps up this year, but Rhine is applying for another one to expand the project. He will find out this spring whether the center gets the $1.5 million grant.
After that? He might tackle another common roadblock: geometry.

Enabling Secure SSH Terminal Connections From Roaming Smartphones
The Secure Shell, or SSH, is a popular program that lets computer users log onto remote machines. Software developers use it for large collaborative projects, students use it to work from university servers, customers of commercial cloud-computing services use it access their accounts, and system administrators use it to manage computers on their networks.
First released in 1995, SSH was designed for an Internet consisting of stationary machines, and it hasn't evolved with the mobile Internet. Among other problems, it can't handle roaming: If you close your laptop at the office and reopen it at home, your SSH session will have died; the same goes for an SSH session on a tablet computer that switches from a Wi-Fi connection to the cellular network.
At the Usenix Annual Technical Conference in Boston this month, researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory presented a paper describing a new remote-login program called Mosh, for mobile shell, which solves many of SSH's problems. The researchers also believe that the communication scheme underlying Mosh could improve the performance of a host of other mobile applications.
Even before they presented the paper, they made Mosh freely available on a number of different websites; it's now been downloaded at least 70,000 times. "That's from the ones that we're able to track," says Keith Winstein, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and lead developer of Mosh.
Besides roaming, another of the problems that Mosh addresses is the delayed "echoing" of keystrokes in SSH. During a standard SSH session, when a user strikes a key on the keyboard, nothing appears onscreen until information about the keystroke travels to the remote machine, which performs a computation and sends back the result. That's because, in many applications commonly run through SSH, keystrokes don't necessarily correspond directly to displayed symbols: In an email program, for instance, the "N" key might call up the next email; similarly, when a user enters a password, it shouldn't appear onscreen.
Mosh has an algorithm running in the background that deduces when keystrokes should be displayed and when they shouldn't. Until the remote computer confirms Mosh's predictions, the characters onscreen are underlined. "I have never seen it display anything wrong," says Hari Balakrishnan, a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Winstein's coauthor on the Usenix paper.
The reason Mosh handles roaming so much better than SSH does is that it abandons the Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP -- the framework that governs almost all the traffic in today's Internet.
"TCP has some wonderful ideas embedded in it -- congestion control, ways of doing reliability and so forth," Balakrishnan says. "But it has this one big, big problem: It provides a reliable, in-order byte-stream abstraction between two fixed endpoints. If you were to pick the worst possible abstraction for the mobile world, it would be that."
With mobile applications, Balakrishnan explains, it's not as crucial that every byte of information be displayed in exactly the order in which it was sent. If you've lost connectivity while using the map application on a smartphone, for instance, when the network comes back up, you probably want an accurate map of your immediate surroundings; you don't want to wait while the phone reloads data about where you were when the network went down.
Winstein and Balakrishnan developed their own communications protocol, which they call SSP, for state synchronization protocol. SSP, Balakrishnan says, works more like the protocols that govern videoconferencing, where getting timely data about the most recent state of the application is more important than getting exhaustive data about previous states.
Mosh is already proving itself useful: At his computer in his office, Balakrishnan pulls up the connection log for one of the servers in MIT's Athena network; a third of the people logged into it are using Mosh. But in ongoing research, Winstein and Balakrishnan are investigating how SSP can be improved and extended so that other applications can use it as well.
"We have sort of a broader agenda here," Winstein says. "Mosh is a gracefully mobile application. But there's a lot of even more popular network applications that have the same problems, like Gmail, or Google Chat, or Skype. None of these programs gracefully handle mobility, even though they're intended for mobile devices."


text: Comparisons between observed and predicted strong lensing properties of galaxy clusters have been used to claim either tension or consistency with ΛCDM cosmology. However, standard approaches to such tests are unable to quantify the preference for one cosmology over another. We advocate a Bayesian approach whereby the parameters defining the scaling relation between Einstein radii and cluster mass are treated as the observables. We demonstrate a method of estimating the likelihood for observing these parameters under the ΛCDM framework, using the X-ray selected z > 0.5 MACS clusters as a case in point and employing both N-body and hydrodynamic simulations of clusters. We account for cluster lens triaxiality within the modelling of the likelihood function. Cluster selection criteria is found to play as important a role as the uncertainty related to the description of star formation and feedback.

The Goal of Gin Rummy
The purpose of Gin Rummy is to score focuses and arrive at a particular number of focuses or more, typically more than a hundred, preceding the opponent does by giving a clear scheme ofhow to play RummyGame? Empire slots login. The original game system is to improve one's hand by shaping unify and taking out dead-wood.
Gin Rummy is played with a fifty-two cards pack; the jokers are not utilized. It is ideal to utilize two packs so that while one player bargains the cards, the adversary can rearrange the other deck. The main aim of the Gin Rummy is to create runs and develop those runs with the set of cards.
Gin has two sorts of merge: Sets of three or four cards having a similar position. The series for the cards followed from most prominent to tiniest. Concerning the card's estimation, the figure cards are worth ten focuses, and different cards merit the worth exhibit by their pips. The dead-wood tally is the entirety of the point approximations of the dead-wood cards, aces are scored at one point, face cards at ten, and others as stipulated by their mathematical standards. Crossing merges are not authorized.

The deck is roll out on the table, and every player takes a card. The player who draws the most raised card picks where to sit and compact out ten cards to every player. Individually, the different deck includes a different type of Rummy gamers. The stock deck's peak card is put face up close to it to begin the heap dump by leaving the deck with the rest of the cards in the table's center point. In the escorting games, the player who controls the past match turns into the seller.

On the main turn of the round, the non-lead player has the first alternative of taking the face-up card to dispose of the heap. It appears to be simple and basic for a player who has how to play rummy game. In the event, if the non-lead player takes the face-up, they should then dispose of an alternate card to the dispose of the heap. The player wins if the appraisal of unequaled cards isn't equivalent to the rating of the rival's unmatched cards.
The foe wins when the analysis of unrivaled cards resembles or not as much as that of the one that pounded. When the game has completed, the players note down the accompanying rewards hundred focuses for dominating a match, focuses for every halfway match dominated, and a hundred focuses for winning all the rounds of the game without the rival having won any. A player can go Gin with a hand of fewer merges to fit into a merge.

to find things in a text widget, use the "search" method:
pos = text.search(string, start)
where "string" is the string you want to search for, and start is the
starting position (e.g. 1.0 or INSERT).
to search for things that match "_USER_", where "word" is an arbitrary
string of letters or digits, you can use a regular expression, e.g.
pos = text.search("@\w+", 1.0, regexp=True)
search only returns where the match begins; to find the end of "_USER_",
you can search from the given position to the first thing that isn't a
end = text.search("\W", pos + " 1 char", regexp=True)
to change the appearance of a block of text, register the style using
tag_config, and then use tag_add to apply the style tag to the block, e.g.:
# do this when you create the widget
# do this to apply this style to a range of text
text.tag_add("mystyle", pos, end)
hope this helps!

Geometrical inspection point reduction for rigid and non-rigid parts using cluster analysis – an industrial verification
Paper i proceeding, 2007
Since the model program in automotive industry gets more and more extensive, the costs related to inspection increase. Therefore, there are needs for more effective inspection preparation. In many situations, a large number of inspection points are inspected, despite the fact that only a small subset of points is needed. In this paper a method for reducing the number of inspection point using cluster analysis is tested on production data. The method finds clusters, where the points in a cluster are highly correlated. From each cluster only one representing point is selected for inspection. This leads to reductions with up to 90 percent in the case studies considered. Further, the problem about sample size is considered. The sample must be large enough to reflect the different phenomena occurring in the process. The choice of sample size is also affecting the statistical confidence of the estimated correlation coefficient between points or clusters. The theory supports rigid parts as well as non-rigid parts.

Reading menus and drive directories
Computer books, tutorials, lessons and articles frequently need to direct the user to a specific menu. While I have the luxury of using as many screen shots as I want, a number of post to this blog are turned into articles for user group magazines and other publications. While there are many different ways to attempt to lead a reader to a specific menu, many authors use a system similar to this:
Finder > Menu Bar > Go > iDisk > Other User's Public Folder…
or perhaps this example:
Safari > Menu Bar > File > Mail Link to this Page.
In both examples, the name of the active program (Finder in the first, Safari in the second) begins the line. Then the > symbol is used to designate a specific location.
So, Finder > Menu Bar > Go > iDisk > Other User's Public Folder… might replace:
Make the Finder the active application. Go to the Menu bar at the top of the page and locate the "Go" menu. Go down to "iDisk, then go sideways to "Other User's Public Folder.
Safari > Menu bar > File > Mail Link to this Page might replace:
Make Safari the active application. Go to the Menu bar at the top of the page and locate the File menu. Pull down the File menu to Mail Link to This Page.
When writers are referring to paths for files they use a similar system. If you were being directed to Disk Utility, it might be written:
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Another similar system is:
Macintosh HD: Applications: Utilities: Disk Utility.
I prefer the first example. In fact, when I am writing directions to menu items or file locations, I read ">" as "go to."
There is one more thing to note. The ellipses (&hellip is used in menus to let you know that you will next see a dialog box. For example, Finder > Menu Bar > Go > iDisk > Other User's Public Folder… will lead you to this dialog box:
If you want to add an ellipses to your writing, press Command > ;.
Here's a warm welcome to the participants in last week's seminar. Thanks for spending the day with me!

Here are some possibilities: The product is viscous and some products become more viscous with agitation (e.g., cream becomes butter with agitation). These products are called dilatants.
A recirculation line from the discharge of the pump is aimed at the seal and interfering with its movement.
A foreign object is in the stuffing box.
A protruding gasket is touching the movable part of the seal.
(A) Something is restricting the free movement of the seal.
(B) The shaft is being displaced, causing the seal to hit something as it rotates, or causing the rotating face to run off the stationary face.
The pump is operating off of its best efficiency point (B.E.P.), causing the shaft to bend.
The rotating assembly is out of dynamic balance.
The shaft is bent.
There is misalignment between the motor and the pump.
Pipe Strain is twisting the pump stuffing box.
Heat causes expansion, leading to the possibility for rubbing or wear.
Cavitation, slip stick, harmonic vibration, bad bearings or some other form of vibration is causing excessive movement of the shaft.
The shaft sleeve is not concentric with the shaft, causing it to run "off center."
The pump designed with sleeve or babbitted bearings and shaft movement is excessive.
(C) The seal face is being distorted by either temperature or pressure.
(D) The product is vaporizing between the seal faces, causing the faces to blow apart.
If boiler feed water vaporizes, it leaves behind all of the chemicals that were added to the water to prevent hardness, adjust PH, soften boiler scale, etc.
In cryogenic (cold) applications, the vaporizing fluid can freeze any lubricant that might have been placed on the seal faces. This frozen lubricant can damage the carbon/graphite seal face.

Doepfer A-163 Voltage Controlled Frequency Divider
Add to Cart:
80,00 €
incl. 20% VAT
plus shipping and handling
available in approx. 1 week
 - Model:
 - Manufacturer: Doepfer
Module A-163 is a voltage controlled audio frequency divider.
The frequency of the input signal (preferably the rectangle output of a VCO) is divided by an integer factor N (N = 1, 2, 3, 4... up to 32).
N can be adjusted manually and modulated with an external control voltage (e.g. from LFO, ADSR, Random, MIDI-to-CV, Theremin, Light-to-CV, analog sequencer) with attenuator.
The control input has polarizing function, i.e. the manually adjusted dividing factor can be modulated upwards or downwards.
The output waveform is rectangle with 50% duty cycle.
Unlike the A-115 with fixed dividing factors (2, 4, 8, 16) the dividing factor of the A-163 is voltage controlled and can be any integer value between 1 and about 20 (but only one output). In contrast to A-113 the dividing factor of the A-163 is voltage controlled and the output waveform is rectangle (the A-113 has 4 sawtooth outputs with 4 adjustable but not voltage controlled dividers).
The module is equipped with an additional jumper at the bottom side of the pc board. This jumper is used to select DC coupled (jumper installed) or AC coupled mode (jumper removed). If the module is used to divide slowly changing signals (like clock, trigger, gate or rectangle signals of an LFO) the DC coupled mode has to be selected. For audio signals the AC mode is recommended.

Figure 9-4.-The Bourdon gauge.
The Bourdon gauge is shown in figure 9-4. It
works on the same principle as that of the snakelike,
paper party whistle you get at a New Year party,
which straightens when you blow into it.
Within the Bourdon gauge is a thin-walled metal
tube, somewhat flattened and bent into the form of a
C. Attached to its free end is a lever system that
magnifies any motion of the free end of the tube. On
the fixed end of the gauge is a fitting you thread into
a boiler system. As pressure increases within the
boiler, it travels through the tube. Like the snakelike
paper whistle, the metal tube begins to straighten as
the pressure increases inside of it. As the tube
straightens, the pointer moves around a dial that
indicates the pressure in psi.
The Bourdon gauge is a highly accurate but
rather delicate instrument. You can easily damage it.
In addition, it malfunctions if pressure varies rapidly.
This problem was overcome by the development of
another type of gauge, the Schrader. The Schrader
gauge (fig. 9-5) is not as accurate as the Bourdon, but
it is sturdy and suitable for ordinary hydraulic
pressure measurements. It is especially suitable for
In the Schrader gauge, liquid pressure actuates
a piston. The pressure moves up a cylinder against
the resistance of a spring, carrying a bar or indicator
with it over a calibrated scale. The operation of this
gauge eliminates the need for cams, gears, levers,
The diaphragm gauge gives sensitive and
reliable indications of small pressure differences. We
use the diaphragm gauge to measure the air pressure
in the space between inner and outer boiler casings.
In this type of gauge, a diaphragm connects to a
pointer through a metal spring and a simple linkage
system (fig. 9-6). One side of the diaphragm is
exposed to the pressure being measured, while the
other side is exposed to the pressure of the
atmosphere. Any increase in the pressure line moves
the diaphragm upward against the spring, moving
the pointer to a higher reading. When the pressure
decreases, the spring moves the diaphragm
downward, rotating the pointer to a lower reading.
Thus, the position of the pointer is balanced between
the pressure pushing the diaphragm upward and the
spring action pushing down. When the gauge reads 0,
the pressure in the line is equal to the outside air

Monitor CPU Usage of All Running Processes - Part I
November 2, 2005
This article illustrates how to monitor CPU usage on different running process on one machine and on multiple machines. In many organizations, the SQL Server Database administrator and System administrators have the responsibility of trouble shooting and identifying the cause of high CPU usage during certain periods in a day on a machine.
This article demonstrates how to keep track of the CPU load history on each running process that is running on a machine. This article also discusses how to find new processes that are being run and any old process that are being killed, etc.
This article uses "Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process" WMI class to get the information from the performance counters of a machine.
Method 1 illustrates how to query all the running process and their CPU usage on the local machine.
a. Machine and the login used should be capable of accessing Windows management instrumentation.
b. Operating System on that machine should be above windows 2000.
a. Create the Folder C:\monitorprocess. [Refer Fig 1.0]
b. Create the file C:\monitorprocess\ListProcess.vbs and copy and paste the below code. [Refer Fig 1.1]. Download the code from listprocess.VBS_
