Tracking COVID-19 with DHIS2 Electronic Health Registries in Palestine
The Palestinian Country Team used local capacity to quickly develop their COVID-19 surveillance system in response to the coronavirus pandemic
Quick crisis response thanks to an experienced Country Team and shared experience from the global DHIS2 community
The Palestinian National Institute of Public Health (PNIPH) is a project led by the World Health Organization (WHO) in close cooperation with the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH). The main aim of PNIPH is to provide evidence-based public health knowledge to support policy formulation, and to bolster national efforts to protect and improve the health of the Palestinian people.
One of PNIPH's core objectives is to support evidence-based decision making related to public health by improving electronic health registries as effective tools. Using the DHIS2 platform, the MoH and PNIPH have gained extensive experience in building and implementing e-Registries in a number of areas, such as mother and child health, mammography, and communicable case-based surveillance, among others, in an effort to move towards better health information systems.
Since 2017, PNIPH has invested heavily in the establishment of a Palestinian Country Team, which includes members from both PNIPH and the MoH, to build local capacity in DHIS2. The team is now able to configure, customize, and build health systems based on DHIS2 technology in response to local health needs, with minimal external support. This capacity was demonstrated with the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in Palestine. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the team quickly took action, and within a week, successfully developed the COVID-19 surveillance package inspired by the existing work of the global DHIS2 community. The Palestinian team built the system to incorporate both MoH needs and WHO standards for tracking information at the case level, and created dashboards with country-specific indicators.
Combining local requirements and global standards
The surveillance system is being used by MoH health workers to input important data related to reported cases of COVID-19 throughout the country in order to track cases. The system adopted WHO-recommended COVID-19 case definitions, as well as MoH and WHO case reporting information, including:
Occupation and animal contacts
Source and method of infection
Clinical course and pictures, including signs and symptoms
Co-morbidity and underlying health conditions
Exposure and travel information prior to the onset of symptoms
Lab test results
The system was built to address four case management criteria:
Reporting for suspected COVID-19 cases
Cases of home and institutional quarantine (monitoring of health status for 14 days)
Hospital isolation cases
Confirmed case reports
PNIPH has trained focal points in each district to use the system. These focal points are responsible for collecting data, following up on and documenting cases, and monitoring cases in quarantine and isolation. The Minister of Health and the Prime Minister also have access to the system.
Using analytics tools for outbreak monitoring, follow-up, and further research
The software is able to provide real-time analyses and generate needed statistics and indicators required for follow-up and monitoring the containment or spread of the outbreak. Statistics generated by the system will illustrate the characteristics and classification of cases, whether confirmed or suspected, as well as health outcomes (recovered, stable, or deceased), in addition to other WHO and health system indicators. Over 70 indicators are generated by the system and are presented in the dashboard as tables, graphs, and GIS maps. This information will support decision-making regarding preventive and corrective procedures.
Globally, countries are conducting in-depth research on infected, recovered, and death cases related to COVID-19 to better understand the virus and help develop effective treatments. While other sources in Palestine are collecting aggregated and statistical data, the COVID-19 surveillance system developed by the MoH and PNIPH is the only system collecting detailed data at the case level. Leveraging this information, Palestine now has a valuable opportunity to study the pattern of disease as it unfolded in the country.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Mai Al-Kaila, commended the country team's swift response to the pandemic and the effectiveness of having both a country team and local expertise in building health systems. These efforts have demonstrated PNIPH's leadership in pioneering digital health information in the country and the greater region, as well as the Institute's ability to quickly respond to urgent and emergency health sector needs.
As the COVID-19 situation in the country is still ongoing and largely uncertain, the MoH and PNIPH will continue to adjust the system to benefit the health sector and support the government in its efforts to address the crisis. Additionally, the Palestinian Country Team plans to share its experience with the regional and global community by providing guidance on the customized system, meta-data, and indicators, as well as through online training videos.


What is a squirrel midden?
Basically, a squirrel's favorite spot to eat. The squirrel midden is the mess of leftovers squirrels leave after eating.
Squirrel Midden or their Picnic Table
One favorite food of the red squirrel is the spruce cone. Sitting on their favorite branch, stump, or wherever, they pull the outside bits of the cone off, letting them fall to the ground below, and eat the seeds inside. The piles of left over spruce cone bits below are often easily found around a spruce forest floor. They can get pretty big, some reported as large as garages.
Squirrels also hide or store their food for the winter. They do not always remember where they have hidden some of the spruce cones. Often you will see holes around the midden where they may or may not have had a successful search. Some of the forgotten ones may grow into spruce trees.
Why store food? Red squirrels do not hibernate, they remain active through out the winter. The extra caches of food can come in handy when supplies are low during the cold months.

0 The (Almost) Magical Secret Weapon in Writing Compelling Fiction
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
We all know those books, right? The ones that you can't put down. Sometimes it's because the premise is so big, the conflict is so enormous and original, that you are hooked by that alone. But most of the time, it has nothing to do with a huge underlying tension. It comes down to what literary agent Donald Maass, author of the must-read books Writing the Breakout Novel and The Fire in Fiction, calls "micro-tension."
As he puts it: "Keeping readers constantly in your grip comes from the steady application of something else altogether: Micro-tension. That is the tension that constantly keeps your reader wondering what will happen—not in the story, but in the next few seconds."
Curiosity, not conflict, is the most powerful word when it comes to fiction.
Lisa Cron, the author of Wired For Story and Story Genius, explains that this is due to biology, the survival instincts that allowed human beings to develop and evolve, citing neuroscience to show that our bodies physiologically react to reading about an experience in a good story the same way that we react to experiencing the story ourselves. She explains how we are biologically driven to learn from story, and that what we perceive as a good story is one that keeps us learning.
"...what draws us into a story and keeps us there is the firing of our dopamine neurons, signaling that intriguing information is on the way."
So how do we use that to drive our stories forward?
The word why is the writer's secret weapon. If we infuse it into every page, every paragraph, it can lead our reader through the dullest backstory, draw them through periods of quiet discussion, pull them through paragraphs of beautiful description. Why is the reason we read.
As writers, there are limitless ways that we can use why on the sentence, paragraph, and page level to create the micro-tension that fuels forward momentum and builds urgency in the reader.
 1. Create a difference between what the characters want and what they have in the current situation.
 2. Provide your characters with conflicting or contrasting emotions.
 3. Make the characters have to hide what they really feel.
 4. Make the characters hide what they are really doing
 5. Make the characters confront the things they don't want, their fears and the secrets and truths they are desperate to protect from others and themselves.
 6. Focus on the fresh and unexpected.
 7. Sliver in unanswered questions, building curiosity about secrets, backstory, and upcoming events so that the reader must keep reading to get the answers.
Most importantly, be certain to let the reader know why characters are behaving and reacting in the ways they are, and make those reasons fresh, believable, and compelling.
Happy writing,

Governors are on every single air cooled engine, from lawn mowers and edgers to generators and one man augers. They are Mechanical and Pneumatic. Pneumatic governors are powered by an external air vane, while mechanical governors are run by a gear and spool assembly inside the engine. This page will explain how to adjust the mechanical governor on Briggs and Stratton and Tecumseh Engines.
Governors should never need adjusting, unless the governor arm is removed or tampered with. But in the event that they do need adjusting, here is how you do it. A rule of thumb is the governor shaft should be turned in the same direction the governor arm turns to open the throttle wide open. For example, on Tecumseh TVS, LEV, TVM, TVXL and other similar engines, the governor arm rocks in the counter clockwise direction to close the throttle to idle. To adjust the governor, you would loosen the screw on the bottom of the governor arm and push the governor arm so the throttle is wide open. Then you would turn the bottom "clip" (which is connected to the governor shaft) counter clockwise. This will set the governor shaft on top of the governor spool. Now tighten the screw.
To adjust the governor on a 5 HP Briggs and Stratton horizontal shaft engine, you would loosen the nut on the governor arm and push the governor arm down, clockwise. Then you would turn the governor shaft clockwise also and tighten the nut.

According to Hall's context theory, people from different cultures may react differently to complex messages. The current study is the first empirical examination of context theory's role on message comprehension and appreciation. In a comparative survey-based study (N = 289), Belgian and Dutch participants judged 12 complex product advertisements with visual metaphors. As expected by context theory, perceived complexity was lower for Belgian (a higher-context culture) than for Dutch participants (a lower-context culture), and participants' personal context culture score fully accounted for this difference. Similarly, ad liking was higher for Belgian than for Dutch participants, and again this difference was explained by context score.
- Hornikx, J., & Pair, R. le (2017). The influence of high-/low-context culture on perceived ad complexity and liking. Journal of Global Marketing, 30 (4), 228-237.
In international communication, adaptation of messages to the audience's values has been prominently studied. In advertising, a meta-analysis of experimental studies showed that ads with culturally adapted value appeals are generally more persuasive and better liked than ads with culturally unadapted value appeals. This general effect was not observed for studies with Western Europeans. One explanation may be that these studies did not examine individualism-collectivism – whereas adaptation to this dimension has been shown to be very successful. In this paper, this explanation was tested. Six experiments were conducted in which participants from Belgium, the UK or the Netherlands judged an ad with an adapted, individualistic appeal or with an unadapted, collectivistic appeal. The experiments and a subsequent meta-analysis indicate that Western Europeans are not more persuaded by the culturally adapted than by the culturally unadapted value appeals based on individualism-collectivism. This result nuances earlier findings underlining the importance of cultural value adaptation

The process of arbitration requires human reasoning and decision-making. Parties evaluate the evidence that is available to them and decide how to best present their case. Arbitrators aim to resolve a dispute by weighing the evidence and the legal arguments that are presented by each side. Researchers have underlined the importance of strong evidence in legal deliberations, but what exactly characterizes strong arguments? This chapter addresses this question as a first point. The characteristics of arbitrators, such as age, gender, and cultural background, may affect how arbitrators process arguments. Yet given the aim of arbitration to be an objective and neutral process, it is important to consider how such characteristics may impact the ultimate outcome of a case. This chapter examines the last of these characteristics, namely the role of culture in this decision-making process. More precisely, this chapter reviews the research evidence on how members of different cultures evaluate strong and weak arguments.

Brands can position themselves as belonging to a foreign culture by using foreign languages in advertising. Foreign languages in ads have been suggested to be implicit country-of-origin (COO) cues. This paper examines the expectations that foreign languages operate through the COO effect (Study 1), and that they evoke associations (Study 2) and generate persuasive effects (Study 3) similar to COO mentions. The findings of the studies, employing different language slogans for different products, lend support to these expectations. Thus, foreign languages in advertising derive their effectiveness from the COO effect, and practitioners can use them to benefit from this effect.

Viewed in 2010, some of the early 20th century children's books Lissa Paul is studying look a little surreal.
There's An ABC for Baby Patriots, where B stands for battles and C stands for colonies. There's an ad that encourages kids to dress up a male paper doll, pictured on a missile-firing battle ship, in Navy regalia.
In the years just before the First World War, the professor of Education says, children's books and popular culture promoted proud support of the British Empire. So when war was declared in 1914, young boys were already primed to fight for their countries.
As the 100th anniversary of the First World War approaches, the UK's Leverhulme Trust is funding three international conferences to study children's literature and culture in the years approaching the First World War. Paul is organizing the Canadian conference.
From the Boy Scouts, formed in part to train boys for future military life, to books promoting the virtue of supporting king and country, children's literature presented the glory of war strongly enough to suppress all instinctive, religious and cultural imperatives against killing, Paul said.
"If you're going to get young people to overcome those instincts, you have to work pretty hard to create a culture that makes it not only acceptable, but desirable," she said.
By studying children's literature and culture in the pre-war years, "we'll gain insights into how children were enculturated," she said. "If we're ever going to stop war, we have to understand what encourages people to fight."
The conferences, part of the international research project Approaching War, will take place in Australia, Canada and England in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Australian conference, located at the University of Technology Sydney, will be in November or early December of this year. A three-day conference is being tentatively constructed for May 9 to 12, 2012, in Canada, starting at Brock and moving to McCrae House in Guelph, birthplace of In Flanders Fields author John McCrae. The third conference will be in Newcastle, UK. Newcastle University, the University of Technology Sydney and the Toronto Public Library (through its Osborne collection) are part of the research project.
Paul, who has been at Brock since 2005, has a long-time interest in children's literature. Her new book, The Children's Book Business: Lessons from the Long Eighteenth Century, was published Dec. 14 by Routledge. She is an associate general editor of The Norton Anthology of Children's Literature (Norton 2005),authored Reading Otherways (Thimble 1998) and was the content editor of Growing with Books: Children's Literature in the Formative Years and Beyond (Ontario Ministry of Education 1988).
When it comes to relationships between children's culture and war, the First World War is particularly interesting, she said. Its iconography, from Snoopy's Red Baron to imagery in war games, endures even now.
"Through the First World War, boys especially were encouraged to believe that war was an exciting adventure, a noble thing in which people should engage," she said. "What were the conditions that allowed that war to take place? What were boys seeing that made them say 'This is what I'm going to do: kill or be killed?'"

Nissan's Steer-by-Wire System Brings Us Closer to Autonomous Cars
- 4:00 PM
Nissan's unveiled the world's first fly-by-wire steering system, completely eliminating the mechanical connection between the wheel in your hands and the wheels on the road. Although the automaker insists the system will enhance the driving experience, it's also a big step toward a fully autonomous vehicle.
Lots of automakers offer electrically assisted power-steering systems, but Nissan's "independent control steering technology" — which could appear as early as next year in Infiniti G-series models — takes the concept to its logical extreme. It replaces the steering column with software and motors to create a fully electric system. Beyond providing a better driving experience, Nissan sees the technology improving safety by allowing the car to take evasive action if, say, a pedestrian steps in front of you.
From there, it's not hard to imagine the technology being instrumental in developing truly autonomous vehicles.
The system is fairly straightforward. When the driver turns the wheel, several computer modules (some of them are redundant to ensure safety) control electric motors that actuate the steering rack far faster than a traditional mechanical system. Before you start squawking about an electrical failure, Nissan says the steering wheel is connected to the rack through an emergency clutch, allowing the driver to retain control if something goes kablooey.
Many automakers have switched to electrically assisted steering and fly-by-wire'd for braking and acceleration to improve fuel economy. Electric steering, for example, doesn't require an engine-driven pump. Nissan, however, says it's tech is focused on helping the driver.
Steer-by-wire tech and a camera mounted ahead of the mirror scan the road ahead can enhance the driver experience. Road conditions and feedback can be analyzed on-the-fly, filtering unwanted "noise" often transmitted through a mechanical linkage from the wheels to the hands. Nissan claims the system also makes nearly instantaneous steering inputs. Want to feel the weight of the car shifting as you tackle a tight bend, but don't want to feel that rut in the road during your morning commute? This new system has you covered on both fronts.
The camera also will watch for lane markings, stopped vehicles and other hazards. Wander out of your lane and your car will center itself. This is similar to other "lane keep assist" systems, but uses steering instead of the rear brakes to keep you in line. Extending that functionality, Nissan also claims the driver won't need to apply corrective force to the wheel on banked corners, and the system will automatically adjust the attitude of the vehicle to account for lateral movement caused by crosswinds.
Nissan's focus on driver involvement is only part of the puzzle, though. In addition to demonstrating the new technology on a modified Infiniti G37S, the automaker also showed off the technology in its electric Nissan Leaf fitted with the new steering system and a brace of monitors and sensors. As the car encounters obstacles — another vehicle, a pedestrian — the car steers itself to safety and stops.
It's yet another indication that the future of autonomous vehicles isn't about creating an all-new vehicle, but combining existing technologies to develop a nearly crash-proof car. The driving benefits are nearly secondary.

in the wet rendering process or the extraction of fluid in the dry rendering process. The fat obtained can be used as low-cost raw material in making grease, animal feed, soap, candles, biodiesel, and as a feed-stock for the chemical industry. Tallow, derived from beef waste, is an important raw material in the steel rolling industry providing the required lubrication when compressing steel sheets. The meat and the bones (which are in a dry, ground state) are converted to what is known as meat and bone meal.
In the absence of the rendering industry, the cost of waste disposal of waste animal material would be very high and would place a significant economic and environmental burden on areas involved in industrial scale slaughtering. This cost may manifest itself through the expensive use of sanitary landfills, incinerators and other similar waste disposal techniques without yielding profit directly out of it leading to the incurrence of opportunity costs. Using substitute products to rendering products may not necessarily prove to be lesser in cost.
For many years meat and bone meal were fed to cattle. This practice is now prohibited in developed countries because it is believed to be the main route for the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad-cow disease, BSE), which is also fatal to human beings. Meat and bone meal from cattle is, however, fed to non-ruminant animals and meat and bone meal from non-ruminant animals is fed to cattle in the United States. This may not prove to be a solution to the problem due to the resistant nature of the infectious agent of BSE, a misfolded protein (prion). Therefore, even if cattle is fed to non-ruminant animals and vice-versa, it will not prevent BSE from occurring. The underlying cause is that the prion survives within the system of the animal that has been fed with meat and bone meal from different animals including cattle. These animals are then eventually rendered and fed to cattle, which also results in the development of the disease.
Kitchen rendering
Rendering of fats is also carried out on a kitchen scale by chefs and home cooks. In the kitchen, rendering is used to transform butter into clarified butter, suet into tallow, pork fat into lard, and chicken fat into schmaltz.

High in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, there is a creek that splits in two. If you were a trout, you could choose between swimming down one stream to the Pacific Ocean, or down the other to the Atlantic. The place is known as Two Ocean Pass, and the exact spot is called Parting of the Waters.
About 35 miles southeast of Yellowstone National Park, Two Ocean Pass sits along a remote meadow on the Continental Divide Trail. Here, at the headwaters of North Two Ocean Creek, the terrain flattens out and the creek splits into two tributaries, the Pacific Creek and the Atlantic Creek, each heading off in opposite directions to join up with progressively bigger and bigger rivers.
Accessible only by hike or horse, Parting of the Waters marks the start of these divergent journeys, one a 1,353 mile trip to the Pacific via the Snake and Columbia Rivers; and the other, 3,488 miles by way of the Yellowstone, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and finally the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic.
According to the National Park Service, the convergence of the two creeks creates an east-west migration route for cutthroat trout, who use it to get from the Snake River to the Missouri. Lewis and Clark tried to find this Northwest Passage. They should have just followed the fish.


Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
September 28 2010 rlopez 1632
I spent this past week preparing a Webex presentation to a client who was interested in using Maple for a physics course in chaos. Of the two texts selected for the course, I had one on my own bookshelf. So I scanned Steven Strogatz' text Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (Addison Wesley, 1994) for topics that would profit from investigation with Maple.
The first hundred pages apparently deal with stability issues for nonlinear ordinary differential equations. What I saw in the text was a search for critical (equilibrium) points, and a determination of their stability. The techniques used were primarily graphical. Little analytic work was evident, and almost no solutions were computed or even drawn.
Having long ago realized that I, like many of my students over the years, learn from the particular to the general, I found myself wanting to obtain the results in the text through more direct, concrete means, and visible. Example 1 below, taken from Section 3.7 of the Strogatz text, illustrates the kind of thinking I was able to bring to the examples I prepared for the Webex.
For the differential equation,, find all critical points and determine the stability thereof.
Example 1 Dimensionless form of an insect outbreak model in the Strogatz text
 Writing the right-hand side of the differential equation as
the critical points are the roots of the equation. These roots are then given by, and form a surface over the -plane. The equation defines this surface implicitly, but Maple's solve command will return explicit expressions for. Clearly, is a root, and since
the remaining three roots are zeros of the cubic polynomial. The zeros of this cubic are unwieldy expressions, and we make no use of them. Instead, we obtain Figure 1, a graph of, the surface defined by the function
Figure 1 Graph of the surface defined implicitly by the equation
Above the plane, it appears that there are points in the -plane where is single-valued, and points where it is triple-valued. This corresponds to the behavior of a cubic polynomial with real coefficients: the number of real zeros is one or three.
Plane sections reveal the transition from one to three critical points. This is captured dynamically by the animation in Figure 2.
Figure 2 Animation of plane sections for the surface in Figure 1.
As alternatives to the animation in Figure 2, we also made use of the command
that constructs a graph of with the values of the parameters and controlled by sliders. This graph is housed in the Maplet whose screen image is seen in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Interactive Parameter Maplet where, in the graph of, the values of the parameters and are controlled by sliders
Another alternative for constructing an interactive graph of, that is, of
 is the Explore command, the syntax for which would be
The Exploration Assistant opens in a new Tab, as shown by the image in Figure 4.
Figure 4 Interactive graph of produced by the Exploration Assistant
The discriminant of the cubic polynomial, namely,
is quartic in. Figure 5 is a graph of the function defined implicitly by the equation.
Figure 5 Graph of determined implicitly by the equation. Over the red region, ; over the yellow,.
Over the region shaded in red, the discriminant is negative, and hence, for any parameter pair in this region there is just one real zero of the polynomial ; over the region shaded in yellow, the discriminant is positive, and hence, there are three real zeros of for each parameter pair in this region.
A recent addition to Maple is the RootFinding[Parametric] package, designed to explore the zeros of polynomial systems as functions of associated parameters. Applied to the polynomial, it produces (among other things) the discriminant, and the graph in Figure 5. Our investigation of this package is summarized below. First, the package is made available via the command
Then, the structure of the solution space is determined with the command
Now, the module can be interrogated for a variety of items, the first of which is the discriminant, obtained with
That this is the same as can be seen by transforming this output with
and comparing the result to
The -plane is divided into a number of separate cells, as determined by
In this list of pairs, the first member of the pair is the ordinal for the cell; the second, is the number of the zeros of for each point in that cell. To sort the cells into groups where the number of zeros is either one or three, use
Individual cells can be examined graphically with the command CellPlot. Systematically applying this command to the cells with three zeros per point shows that only cells 10 and 12 lie in the first quadrant of the -plane. This region is sketched in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Region in the -plane for which has three real zeros
Since is cubic in, we can obtain the explicit solutions for defined by setting the discriminant to zero. These solutions are given by
where the output is suppressed because the solutions are very large expressions. The following two limits explain the dotted line in Figure 6.
The curve bounding the top of the "horn" in Figure 6 is asymptotic to, whereas the curve bounding the bottom is asymptotic to.
Figure 1 and either Figure 5 or 6 help in understanding the "catastrophe" that occurs when the system described by the differential equation progresses through a succession of equilibrium states of "small" to the edge of the boundary of the "horn" in Figure 6. From there, it can assume an equilibrium state of "large" with parameter values very near those of a state with "small". The constructive nature of our investigation, and the interactive graphics we used, show clearly that the value of a tool like Maple is in the added insight it brings. If such software merely reproduced the approach that is constrained by the printed page, it wouldn't be worth the effort to employ it. Its value lies in its ability to go beyond the confines of the typical textbook.

Objectives The effectiveness of Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) diminishes over time. Little is known about the role of patients′ beliefs and experiences of PR in the maintenance of outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore COPD patients′ experiences of PR in completers and non-completers.
Methods Purposive sampling was employed to recruit COPD patients referred to an outpatient PR. Participants were interviewed pre (n=15) and post (n=10) PR, approximately 1–2 weeks after the programme. Eight participants completed PR, two dropped out and five were lost to follow-up. Data were analysed using Thematic Analysis.
Results A strong theme to emerge was 'empowerment through attending PR' as physical improvements derived from PR gave participants a sense of freedom and inspired the motivation to re-engage with life again. Participants regained greater control over the condition, and improvements in mood prompted a renewed sense of optimism and hope for the future. Social re-engagement was often the most highly valued aspect of PR, which provided companionship and normalised the condition. Collectively, positive outcomes inspired determination and 'efforts to maintain the benefits'. Peer support was vital in motivating participants to continue exercise regimes. Potential barriers to maintaining exercise were discussed. 'Improvements to service provision' were felt necessary to facilitate long-term maintenance, in the form of formalised follow-up sessions and telephone calls. A few had ongoing issues with anxiety, suggesting the need for individual counselling. 'Reasons for drop-out' included a threatened sense of autonomy and control, negative illness perceptions, inappropriate timing of PR as well as practical and medical issues. These participants were still smokers, and lacked desire for behaviour change. Participants who didn′t attend displayed overwhelming scepticism about PR effectiveness.
Conclusions These findings indicate that immediately following PR, patients feel empowered to continue exercising, due to perceiving multiple benefits. The value placed on peer support demonstrates that this is an important motivator in promoting maintenance. This study highlights COPD patients′ preferences in terms of how service provision aimed at facilitating long-term maintenance of outcomes could be improved, and has implications for the development of psychosocial interventions for patients who are reluctant to attend.

Positive Outcomes for Families
One goal of Parents AnonymousSM is to prevent or end juvenile delinquency and child abuse problems in families. To reach this goal, parents learn that it is a sign of strength to ask for help. They learn to use appropriate community resources and to build supportive, positive peer relationships for themselves and their children. They learn to establish reciprocal relationships, which helps them maintain positive peer associations and avoid overburdening the friends and family members who make up their personal support system. Parents gain a sense of their own power and use it to improve their ability to care for their children, avoid violent reactions to their children, protect them from violence inflicted by other adults, and use parenting practices that promote healthy outcomes for their children.
Demonstrated Effectiveness of Parents AnonymousSM
Research suggests that Parents AnonymousSM is a promising approach to strengthening families and preventing child abuse and neglect, although only a small number of studies have been conducted. Behavior Associates (1976) administered a one-time survey to 613 program participants and asked them a range of questions about their selfesteem, feelings about parenthood and children, satisfaction derived from parenthood, knowledge of child development, social contacts and use of community resources, frequency and severity of abuse, perceived benefits of membership in the program, and background characteristics.
Participants reported improved parenting behavior, an immediate reduction in physical abuse, a positive change in physical and verbal interactions with their children, improved self-esteem, increased social contacts, more help seeking behavior, and greater use of community facilities for childcare. Also, it was found that participants' expectations of children's behavior became more developmentally appropriate. The findings suggest that these positive results are more pronounced as time spent in the program increases.
A second study found that Parents AnonymousSM is a key element in service delivery plans for parents (Cohn, 1979). This study used data collected from case managers who were asked a variety of questions about their clients when they began and terminated services. Case managers were asked to rate their clients on a variety of parental attitudes, situations, and behaviors thought to be causally related to child abuse and neglect (e.g., parental stress, having a sense of the child as a person, appropriate behavior toward the child, and knowledge of child development). At service termination, case manager reports indicated that parents who participated in Parents AnonymousSM were more likely to improve on these measures than those who did not participate. The researchers did caution that parents may self-select into this self-help service (the study was not able to study the effects of motivation), but also suggest that the nature of the service helps parents resolve important problems.
OJJDP and Parents Anonymous, Inc., have recognized the need to conduct an updated, rigorous evaluation of the program. In 1999, OJJDP will sponsor a national evaluation of Parents AnonymousSM and build on the findings of past research. Important advances in evaluating Parents AnonymousSM will include collecting information from multiple sources, conducting postprogram followups on participants, and using a comparison group.
Additional Relevant Research
Research on mutual assistance-shared leadership groups such as Parents AnonymousSM has revealed that such groups are a more effective intervention strategy than pure self-help or traditional therapy. For example, Yoak and Chesler (1985) found that mutual assistance groups with shared leadership enjoyed greater longevity than groups led by a single individual, either a professional or a parent member. Borkman (1990), one of the major theorists and researchers in the area of mutual assistance groups, stated that increased access to and availability of self-help groups are important to promote for the public, especially for ethnic/racial minority groups and the economically disadvantaged.

Power Absorption
Power Information
To absorbs magical powers leaving the original owner without any of their powers.
 - Point hand at target
 - Through touch (may involve killing the victim or when using artifacts)
Defensive Power
Image Gallery
Power Absorption is the ability to absorb magical powers, leaving the original owner without their powers. It is often accomplished by killing the power's original host and then taking the power, but has been done without killing the original host.
Methods of Power AbsorptionEdit
Warlocks absorb the powers of other magical beings by killing the host and naturally obtaining their magic. Their most common targets are witches, though they go after demons and whitelighters as well.
The Slime Demon used this power to feed on the magic of other beings for survival, as did the Spider demon along with her Life Draining power. However, they used different methods: for example; The Slime Demon would engulf the foe with its slimy figure and digests them, while The Spider Demon would wrap her victims in a cocoon of webs and drain their powers through her hands
The Dogan had the power to absorb the Essence of other magical beings, good or evil by killing them, absorbing their powers and the beings themselves through his hands in the process. The method used by Zankou was the same.
The Titans had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings by pointing both hands at them.
Cole Turner was also able to absorb powers through touch while he was in the Demonic Wasteland. Though it's unknown if he can do that outside of Wasteland.
Parasite Demons were a duo of demons cursed by a witch, reducing them to a powerless state, forcing them the absorb other beings' life force and powers to live.
Sirk had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings, by killing them. He gained Paige Matthews ability to access magic school when he killed her. He also gains random powers for each kill, whether his victim is magical or not.
All warlocks have the innate ability to absorb the power of the beings they kill by stabbing them with an athame. However, Matthew Tate had the ability to copy the powers used on him without killing the victim.
Certain Athames are able to naturally absorb a being's powers into the blade and then into the wielder. It is commonly used by Warlocks to kill witches and steal/store their powers.
The Hollow can absorb all powers that it comes in physical contact with. Once the Hollow is contained, the powers are returned.
The Crystal Sword was a formidable magical weapon formerly owned by Gabriel Statler which could absorb the powers and skills of other magical beings.
Drake dè Mon, a former Mercury demon, once made a Deal with a Sorcerer to be made human, with a soul, but if Drake used his powers in an offensive manner, they would be forfeit to the Sorcerer.
Spells and RitualsEdit
A witch can use a spell to extract the power of Empathy from someone: To Relinquish an Empath's Power. However, the power will find a new host, the spell caster, if physical contact is established during the spell. However, the power of empathy will drive the witch insane if they were never meant to have it, and will die within 24 hours unless the power is withdrawn.
A witch can also use a spell to steal another witch's magic: To Separate a Witch from Her Powers. While witches can use this spell to take someone's magic into themselves, they can also redirect it to someone they intend to give the power to. Gail Altman, Amanda and Helen used this spell to deliver the Charmed Ones' powers to the demon Cryto. The spell is used once again by the Stillman sisters to steal the Charmed Ones' powers for themselves.
In the spell to separate a witch's power, there is also a potion required for the spell to work properly. Zankou used this potion to steal the Charmed Ones' powers. However, the potion is useless if the witch it targets is in astral mode.
Offensive UsageEdit
Power absorption is mostly used to weaken one's opponents, draining them and leaving them powerless to fight while adding the absorbed powers and magic to one's own arsenal. In the case of the Hollow or the Parasite Demons, they absorb the magic of the powers or potions used on them, granting them a form of immunity towards attacks, but they vary in the fact that The Hollow can automatically absorb the powers used on it or its host(s) but the Parasite Demons have to do it consciously, leaving them vulnerable to attack when caught off-guard.
List of UsersEdit
Original power
Through artifacts, potions, etc.
 1. Through the use of an Athame.
 2. Through the Crystal Sword.
 3. While in the the Demonic Wasteland.

Take the identification of alerts, for example. Alerts might be generated from detectable behaviors, like traffic to blacklisted addresses or downtime within the network; or could be manually raised by administrators. Whether it's fault management in a physical communications network or cyber threat detection in your corporate IT setup, one of the first challenges is knowing where the problems lie.
In this blog post, we'll show you how network visualization can make alert detection and investigation more effective, and help you gain a clearer understanding of your infrastructure topology.
In particular, we'll focus on combos – the powerful node-grouping functionality in our toolkits that reduces clutter and makes it easier to see the bigger picture and gain deeper insight.
Why visualize alerts and network topology?
If it's your job to understand and respond to alerts in a network, you need fast insight to see problems as they arise. There's a series of questions you need to answer:
- Do I have any problems? Most of the time, you need to start with an 'at-a-glance' view, to quickly spot alerts and pinpoint their general location.
- What is the problem? If there are alerts, you need to be able to 'drill down' into the network topology visualization to understand exactly which systems are affected and where they're located.
- What's the impact going to be? Now you've identified the problem, explore outwards again to understand how it will impact the wider network.
Data visualization is already common in network management platforms, but often what's missing is the interactivity, performance and advanced analysis features of network visualization toolkits like KeyLines and ReGraph. As well as supporting the reactive response to alerts outlined above, it gives you the tools to understand your network topology. You can spot bottlenecks or structural deficiencies, and be proactive about defending against threats.
Let's see how it works.
Network topology visualization and combos
Combos are a game-changer for those needing to understand large, complex IT/infrastructure network data. Exclusive to our technology, the functionality allows you to combine multiple nodes into groups, and organize those groups into hierarchies. It eradicates chart clutter so you can navigate complicated networks at the right level of detail. It's an intuitive new way to explore network topologies, without data overload.
Get detail on demand
Combos can really help when you need to understand connections between different tiers or sections of a network topology.
The example below shows a corporation's IT network. There are offices at different locations and various subnets within them, all communicating to a central server through which common services are accessed. Links represent communication between any two machines. We've used combos to group network assets by subnet and location, so at the high level we get a really simple view of the topology:
We can see two alerts have been raised, shown in red. The red link alerts us to a potentially dangerous connection between the Paris and Cambridge offices. Let's drill down by 'opening' some combos:
It turns out that the alert was triggered by insecure data traveling between two devices. Using nested combos, we can see this detail when we need it but easily switch back to a high-level view when we're trying to understand the general picture.
Tips for great alert visualization
As well as combos, this example uses other techniques to make it easier for users to understand what's happening:
- Glyphs on nodes and links, to show alert warnings, port numbers, etc.
- Automated pan and zoom to focus on selected alerts
- Ping animated effects to focus attention on key items
- 'Revealing links' to show how a particular node in the network is connected to its neighbors
- Contrasting colours on important nodes and links
These features work well in our example corporation's IT network. When the user asks for more information about the alert in the 'Edinburgh' network, we run an animated sequence to drill down, identify the specific problem (a 'blacklisted' application) and reveal all the assets the compromised machine is talking to.
In this way, we've gone from a very high-level alert ("There's a problem in Edinburgh") to a very specific set of actionable intelligence about which parts of the network may have been compromised.
Power your network topology visualization with combos
To truly understand the power of combos, you need to try the functionality for yourself. Are you ready to unleash combos into your network visualization?

In some cases users may find it useful to show the x axis for just a portion of the plot, so by default Grapher does not clip the plot to the axis limits. The plot can easily be clipped to the axis limits by following these steps:
- Select the plot in the Object Manager.
- Click on the Data Limits tab in the Property Manager.
- In the Clipping section, click on None in the X minimum field and select Axis from the dropdown list.
- Repeat step 3 for the X maximum field, if desired.
The axes limits will automatically update to the clipping limits and the plot will adjust to only show the portion that is within those limits.
If this is something you will be doing often and you don't wish to change the clipping individually each time, you can update the default settings by:
- Click File | Defaults.
- In the pane on the right, select the plot type you want to change.
- In the pane on the right, click on the Clipping tab.
- In the X minimum field, click on None and select Axis from the dropdown list.
- In the X maximum field, click on None and select Axis from the dropdown list.
- Repeat steps 2-5 for any other plot types you would like to clip in this way.
- Click OK to save the changes.
*Note - You will not want to do this for Math Plots or XYZ-Vector Plots because they will not display properly with Axis clipping applied.

August 10, 2010 > Free vision curriculum guides available
Free vision curriculum guides available
Submitted By Natalie Wolfrom
In today's economy, educational tools are expensive for both students and educators. School textbook prices have risen alarmingly in recent years; depending on the subject, a single elementary textbook can range in price from $30 to $100.
For 30 years, the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology's Museum of Vision has provided educational materials for physicians, teachers, and parents interested in teaching children about the eye, vision, and ophthalmology. The museum has created an entire curriculum to teach children about the fascinating and spectacular science of vision. The museum's materials are suitable for ages 10-14, but can be adapted for other age groups.
The free teacher workbooks created by the museum focus on the human eye, the differences between human and animal vision, perspective, and how the brain processes images like optical illusions and 3D. The guides are filled with discussion points and fun interactive activities. Each guide can be downloaded at _URL_ and is free of charge:
Eye Openers: Exploring Optical Illusions is designed to help educators teach basic concepts of vision including binocular vision, persistence of vision, and eye-brain connection. It includes activities for youngsters and provides appropriate handouts.
Animal Eyes(r) describes the basic concepts of vision and explores the amazing eyes of the animal kingdom. The booklet teaches about the human visual system, how human eyes differ from animal eyes, seeing in the dark, and color vision.
Art and Vision: Seeing in 3D(r) describes the concepts of vision and special visual techniques that help to create the illusion of depth. It includes sections on size scaling, overlapping, atmospheric perspective, and linear perspective.
"I am very appreciative of the [educational] materials. I know that they would be very helpful for me in teaching my students about the eye and its wonders," said Scott A. Blanchard, teacher at the Biscotti Educational Center, in Macomb, Michigan.
Those interested in getting the curriculum guides can download the free PDF version online by visiting _URL_ Once there, click on the link "Read More" found under any of the three booklets. A new page will open with the appropriate booklet information. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find a free downloadable version of the booklet.
The Museum of Vision is an educational program of The Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. It is the only institution in the United States whose sole purpose is to preserve the history of ophthalmology and celebrate its unique contributions to science and health.

Oak mortality associated with crown dieback and oak borer attack in the Ozark Highlands
Oak decline and related mortality have periodically plagued upland oak–hickory forests, particularly oak species in the red oak group, across the Ozark Highlands of Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma since the late 1970s. Advanced tree age and periodic drought, as well as Armillaria root fungi and oak borer attack are believed to contribute to oak decline and mortality. Declining trees first show foliage wilt and browning, followed by progressive branch dieback in the middle and/or upper crown. Many trees eventually die if severe crown dieback continues. In 2002, more than 4000 living oak trees 11 cm dbh in the relatively undisturbed mature oak forests of the Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project (MOFEP) were randomly selected and inventoried for tree species, dbh, crown class, crown width, crown dieback condition (healthy: <5% crown dieback, slight: >5–33%, moderate: 33–66%, and severe: >66%) and number of emergence holes created by oak borers on the lower 2.4 m of the tree bole. The same trees were remeasured in 2006 to determine their status (live or dead). In 2002, about 10% of the red oak trees showed moderate or severe crown dieback; this was twice the percentage observed for white oak species. Over 70% of trees in the red oak group had evidence of oak borer damage compared to 35% of trees in the white oak group. There was significant positive correlation between crown dieback and the number of borer emergence holes ( p < 0.01). Logistic regression showed oak mortality was mainly related to crown width and dieback, and failed to detect any significant link with the number of oak borer emergence holes. Declining red oak group trees had higher mortality (3 or 4 times) than white oaks. The odds ratios of mortality of slightly, moderately, and severely declining trees versus healthy trees were, respectively, 2.0, 6.5, and 29.7 for black oak; 1.8, 3.8, and 8.3 for scarlet oak; and 2.6, 6.5 and 7.1 for white oaks.

watershed of the Marcela stream, it is noted a high water yield represented in all rain events studied. In Event 3, the Strong water yield class showed the largest area ( 337.51 ha ), or 71% of the subwatershed of Marcela stream has strong potential for water yield, considering the current use. This situation is justified due to the low erosion potential, compared to the average storage potential. For the scenarios, the following is highlighted:
In the case of Scenario 1 (100% substitution of Pasture by Eucalyptus), it is verified that the third Event presented a higher area (363.77 h) in Strong water yield class in the yield of strong water, in other words, 77% of the subwatershed of the Marcela stream has strong potential for water yield. Making a comparison with the Current Use, there is an increase in Very Strong class in Scenario 1, showing that the change of 100% of pasture to eucalyptus contributed to the increase of water yield in the subwatershed of the Marcela stream. Other events continued standing out in the medium water yield class, in other words, none of the events showed a reduction of water yield after modification of the vegetation.
For Scenario 2 (considering 25% as a permanent preservation area, Forest, and 75% eucalyptus), it is verified again that the third event showed greater area ( 330.14 ha ) in the Strong water yield class, in other words, 70% of the subwatershed of the Marcela stream has strong potential for water yield. Compared to the Current Use there is an increase in Very Strong class for Event 2 and changes in Event 4, from average yield in current use for strong yield in Scenario 2, showing that coverage with 75% eucalyptus and 25% forest contributed to the increase of water yield in the subwatershed of the Marcela stream.
In Scenario 3 (considering 25% as a permanent preservation area, forest, and 75% pasture), there is again a predominance of Event 3 showing the largest area ( 320.47 ha ) in the Strong water yield class, in other words, 68% of the subwatershed of the Marcela stream has strong potential for water yield. Compared to the Current Use, there is an increase in Very Strong class in Scenario 3 and the second event a change from average yield in current use for strong yield in Scenario 3, showing that 75% coverage of pasture and 25% forest also contributed to the increase of water yield in the subwatershed of Marcela stream.
Generally, it appears that the largest difference was in Scenario 2 (75% Eucalyptus and 25% Forests); in which events 2 and 4 had a greater change in their water yield, in other words, an increased yield. Event 3, in all the simulations, remained without major changes, always highlighted as strong water yield. The relationship between quantity and quality showed that the soil cover combined with good management of that contribute to guarantee the availability of water in watersheds.
The technique of Fuzzy Inference using Weighted Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was a tool with potential use to support decision making of watershed managers.
Water Yield Indicator obtained from the junction of the potential for erosion with the potential storage has proven effective for presenting results consistent with the reality of the watershed.
The production capacity of the water subwatershed of the Marcela stream is closely related to precipitation intensity, given that the third event of precipitation (less precipitation intensity) showed the largest classes of strong and very strong WYI, independent of the scenario.
The simulations of various scenarios showed changes in water yield, confirming that the form of management and soil conservation are fundamental to increase water yield in the watershed.

The SEND statement transmits a message from the service on one end of a Service Broker conversation to the service on the other end of the conversation. The RECEIVE statement is then used to retrieve the sent message from the queue associated with the destination service.
The conversation handle supplied to the ON CONVERSATION clause comes from one of two sources:
 - When sending a message that is not in response to a message received from another service, use the conversation handle returned from the BEGIN DIALOG statement that created the conversation.
 - When sending a message that is a response to a message previously received from another service, use the conversation handle returned by the RECEIVE statement that returned the original message.
In many cases, the code that contains the SEND statement is separate from the code that contains either the BEGIN DIALOG or RECEIVE statements supplying conversation handle. In these cases, the conversation handle must be one of the data items in the state information passed to the code that contains the SEND statement.
Messages that are sent to a service in another instance of the SQL Server Database Engine are stored in a transmission queue in the current database until they can be transmitted to the service queue in the remote instance. Messages sent to a service in the same instance of the Database Engine are put directly into the queue associated with that service. If a condition prevents a local message from being put directly in the destination service queue, it can be stored in the transmission queue until the condition is resolved. Examples of when this occurs include some types of errors or the destination service queue being inactive. You can use the sys.transmission_queue system view to see the messages in a transmission queue.
Messages in the transmission queues for an instance are transmitted in sequence based on:
 - The priority level of their associated conversation endpoint.
 - Within priority level, their send sequence in the conversation.
Priority levels specified in conversation priorities are only applied to messages in the transmission queue if the HONOR_BROKER_PRIORITY database option is set to ON. If HONOR_BROKER_PRIORITY is set to OFF, all messages put in the transmission queue for that database are assigned the default priority level of 5. Priority levels are not applied to a SEND where the messages are put directly into a service queue in the same instance of the Database Engine.
The SEND statement locks the conversation handle and not the group to which the handle belongs.
SEND is not valid in a user-defined function.
The following example starts a dialog and sends an XML message on the dialog. To send the message, the example converts the xml object to varbinary(max).
 _USER_ XML ;
BEGIN DIALOG _USER_
TO SERVICE '//Adventure-_URL_'
 (_USER_) ;

Yabucoa is located in a fortuitously fertile valley. The town has been labeled "El Pueblo de Yuca" and "La Ciudad del Azúcar," both in reference to the crops successfully grown there by its inhabitants throughout the ages.
Yuca, known also as cassava, is a starchy root tuber high in carbs. Puerto Ricans either steam or fry their yuca, often topping it with mojo (a mix of olive oil and chopped garlic). Yuca is also used as an ingredient for other dishes: it can be mashed into a paste and formed into rectangular meat-filled pies known as pasteles. The plant was not only a staple of the indigenous taínos, it was one of their main sources of nutrients and considered a gift from their main deity, Yukiyú. Notice the similarity in sound between these words, and you might guess that the name Yabucoa is itself derived from them: taínos called it so to mean "the place where yuca is cultivated."
Flash forward to the Puerto Rico of the 19th century, when wealthy hacendados started turning the island into one of the world's main producers of sugar. Yabucoa's Central Roig, or Roig Refinery, was crucial to the economic development of this region through the early 20th century, when the reign of King Sugar came to an end. Still, this refinery remained active until the year 2000, way past the closing of hundreds of others. History buffs might want to stop by Yabucoa and spot the still-standing old mill.
Yabucoa might not be famous for its beaches, but hideaways such as Lucía Beach provide a nice respite for those traveling along Puerto Rico's eastern coast. The coastal region of Punta Yeguas is home to several endangered bird species like the grasshopper sparrow, under protection since 2000 within the Inés María Mendoza de Muñoz Natural Reserve. The reserve is named after the conservationist wife of Puerto Rico's first elected governor. Visitors can seek out Piedra Blanca, an enormous white stone located in the barrio Jácana Piedra Blanca within the town's mountainous region, for a breathtaking view of both the coast and the valleys of Yabucoa.

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—A Western Michigan University researcher has been awarded a $284,833 grant from the National Science Foundation to study negatively charged ions that are potentially damaging to lakes and rivers when found in fertilizers and also are a toxic byproduct in waste from manufacturing and mining.
The grant was awarded to Dr. Gellert Mezei, associate professor of chemistry, who has been studying negatively charged ions, also known as anions, for over 10 years. Mezei's research ultimately could further understanding of how anions can be extracted from industrial and mining waste and removed from enriched bodies of water. Anion removal also has implications for the petroleum, pharmaceutical and nuclear power industries.
What are anions
Anions (pronounced an-ions) are extremely common, Mezei says. They are often found in water, in the human body and the surrounding environment.
"They are ubiquitous," Mezei says. "They are everywhere in nature. Our body functions are based on several anions that are vital. Many anions are part of minerals. They are necessary ingredients in fertilizers."
But they can also cause big problems. Anions in the form of sulfates, nitrates, phosphates and chlorides can be extremely damaging in bodies of water and can contaminate lakes, rivers and streams, leading to excessive growth of algae and lake eutrophication.
"So it's important to monitor them and devise ways of reducing their concentration and also eliminate them from contaminated areas," Mezei says. "For example, our own Asylum Lake has over 10 times more sulfate than what it should normally have. So these anions will lead to excessive growth of algae and ultimately can lead to eutrophication of the lake."
Anions in the form of chlorides from road salt also cause extensive damage to lakes and streams.
"We have these bad winters in Michigan, and we use a lot of sodium chloride, calcium chloride and other chlorides on the roads and these end up in our bodies of water," Mezei says. "And then there are the toxic anions."
Toxic anions are common in industry and mining in the form of chromate, arsenate, selenate and dozens of other substances. These are doubly charged negative ions that have a high affinity for water, are carcinogenic and have been linked to other diseases. In small amounts, they can attack the nervous and reproductive systems, kidneys and blood, and cause birth defects. The permissible levels of toxic anions are continuously being lowered as their harmful effects are more fully understood.
Chromium, for example, is used extensively in industry for plating to produce glittering, sparkling surfaces common on cars and other products. And nuclear waste contains several toxic anions, which interfere with the disposal process.
"They like to stick to water and stay in water, so that makes their extraction difficult," Mezei says.
That's where Mezei's research comes in.
"In general, the idea for all these different applications is that one or more anions of interest have to be removed," Mezei says. "Unfortunately, it is not that easy to remove one problematic anion from a mixture because many anions are very similar to each other. Our project hopes to address this issue."
The problem is not all anions are bad. Removing them all would increase the cost of removal several hundred times.
"These extraction agents we have discovered are very, very efficient in that they bind the anions extremely strongly," Mezei says.
Promising use in oil industry
Mezei and his fellow researchers have discovered that the removal agents also show great promise in preventing and even removing scale in the oil industry. Scale is an unwanted substance that builds up in piping and pumping equipment and comes from seawater that is pumped into wells. Production must be halted regularly to scrape it out. Removal agents can be used to extract anions from the seawater before it is used, reducing scale formation, or simply use them to dissolve the scale itself.
"Scale removal can cost the oil industry a million dollars a day," Mezei says. "It's a huge problem."
The NSF grant does not directly fund Mezei's anion extraction research. What it pays for is basic research into how the extraction method works. Why do the extraction agents remove the anions with the highest affinity for water and leave the anions that have a lower affinity for water? The grant project will try to answer that question and help in designing even more effective and selective anion extraction agents.
"We know it works," Mezei says, "but what no one knows is why and how it works."

Common Core Spotlight
An Argument-Writing Activity Hits Three Key Standards
We know that during test-prep season it's important to find engaging activities that will reinforce multiple skills. That's why we're so excited about this issue's Readers Theater Play, The Secret Soldier. It's based on the incredible true story of Deborah Sampson, who disguised herself as a man so she could fight in the American Revolution. After students read the play, they'll tackle our one-page debate, "Should Women Be Allowed to Fight in Wars?", which presents arguments for and against women in combat today. Your students will then trace each author's argument, using our handy activity sheet. As a culminating activity, students will write their own argument essays about women in combat—but from Deborah's point of view.
Here's why we love this activity: It combines several skills demanded by the Common Core: building strong arguments (W1), writing to task, purpose, and audience (W4), and acquiring domain-specific vocabulary (L6)—the debate is packed with military terms. The activity is challenging but short enough to do in one period (perfect for this busy test-prep season!). And the topic is sure to foster some very interesting and topical discussions in your classroom.
Your students will:
- read aloud this issue's historical-fiction play, The Secret Soldier, and the debate on page 19
- consult our military terms glossary to interpret the challenging domain-specific vocabulary in the debate
- analyze the debate with our activity sheet on identifying persuasive strategies, "Building an Argument"
- use the persuasive strategies identified in the debate and text evidence from the play to respond to the writing prompt on page 19, which asks them to write an argument essay
Common Core ELA Anchor Standards this activity supports:
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R8, R9, W1, W4, W9, SL1, SL4, L1, L2, L4, L6
Find additional activity sheets supporting the paired texts on our Quizzes and Activities page.

Tolls are fees charged for the privilege of driving on some roads. They may be charged on a stretch of a highway or other road, to cross a bridge or tunnel, to enter an area, or to pass some other point. The purpose of charging tolls is a form of taxation that is charged directly to the users of the service. Toll roads are found in many countries.
[edit] Methods of collection
[edit] Cash
The original and most traditional method of toll collection is by cash paid directly to a teller in a booth. This requires the motorist to come to a complete stop to make the payment. During times of heavy traffic, jams may be created as many motorists wait their turn to pay the toll. Fortunately, technology has reduced this problem in many places.
Some toll collection points require exact change if cash is to be paid. Some take coins only and don't accept paper money.
[edit] Credit/Debit card
Some toll plazas accept credit and/or debit cards as a form of payment for individual tolls. This is the case in Italy on all national highways.
[edit] Multiple trip tickets
At some toll plazas, multiple trip tickets are available. A pack of tickets can be purchased at a bulk rate that on average costs less per ticket than an individual cash payment. This is becoming less common as advanced technology has been introduced in many places.
[edit] Commuter passes
Some toll plazas sell commuter passes that allow for unlimited usage at that plaza. This is less common though in modern times.
[edit] Windshield readers
Very common today are windshield readers. The reader is tied in with an account that has a certain amount of funds. Each time a toll plaza is crossed, funds are deducted from the account. When the account goes below a certain level, funds are added, charged to a credit or debit card. Or funds can be added manually.
The reader system allows motorists to pay their tolls without stopping, and sometimes without reducing their speed.
[edit] Automatic tag reading
On some highways, the number plates of all vehicles that cross the path of a camera are read. The toll from there is automatically billed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
[edit] Stickers
In some countries, all motorists must purchase a window sticker that is valid for a fixed period of time. The sticker, once on the window, allows for unlimited usage of that country's toll roads. Failure to bear the sticker results in a fine being charged to the owner of the vehicle.
[edit] Toll avoidance
Toll avoidance, also known as shunpiking, is the use of alternate routes to the toll roads to avoid paying tolls. Generally this is legal, since the alternate routes used are just as open to the public. But there are things to consider before avoiding the toll.
The alternate route may be longer than the toll road. This may result in spending more money in gas, thereby negating any savings.
And if the alternate route takes more time, this may also be a loss. Time means different things to different people. But to some people, time could be money.
In many places where there is a choice between a free or a toll road to accomplish the same trip, it is not uncommon for the free road to have more traffic because most motorists would rather not pay given the choice. Getting caught in traffic could mean time, money, and gas, as well as wear and tear on your car, even when the two routes otherwise would take exactly the same amount of time.

Kaffir Lime Leaves
Also known as Makrut lime, Leech lime or Thai lime, this lime is a variety grown mainly for its aromatic leaves rather than the fruit. The dark, glossy leaves look like two separate leaves joined together. Mature fruit are yellow and bumpy and they have many seeds. They are usually harvested when still green. Juice and oils from the fruit are used in shampoos, cleansers and air fresheners.
About Kaffir Lime Trees
These lime trees are small with large sharp thorns. They are similar in size to a Western lime and the fruit is dark green with a bumpy surface. They prefer tropical conditions but can be grown in cold climates if protected from cool winds and given lots of sunshine.
Planting a Kaffir Lime Tree
The Kaffir lime tree grows well in pots. Though it can thrive outdoors, it is more appropriate for indoors. If you live in an extremely cold area, plant these trees in pots so that you can move them inside conveniently. Use a container that allows proper drainage.
Selecting a Location
Before planting your tree, pick a location that receives maximum sunlight. After all, this dwarf citrus tree may not bloom to its absolute potential in a shaded area. These trees can often grow as high as eight or ten feet, thus it is imperative to choose a spot that can accommodate your lime tree easily.
Time to Get Started
Use a spade to make a hole in the soil. This hole should nearly be twice the thickness of the root ball of your tree. Make sure to use well-drained soil to plant your tree. Place high-quality organic material or compost into the hole. Add fertilizer or soil amendments, if required. You can help the roots expand to the right level by arranging the walls of the hole with your spade.
Positioning Your Kaffir Lime Tree
Arrange the root ball of the tree in the hole. Use a spade to fill the hole with the soil. Flatten the surface to remove any possible air pockets. Spread enough soil around the stem such that this area doesn't collect water.
Watering the Tree
Provide water to your newly-planted tree. Don't provide too much water as it can cause root damage. If you've planted your tree in well-drained soil, make a basin around its perimeter so that water can run efficiently.
Noticing yellow leaves on your lime tree? This may be an indication of a deficiency of fertilizer. Implementation of proper, effective fertilization strategies can provide you with fully grown, juicy limes.
Spreading Compost Pellets
Once you've planted your tree, intersperse sheep or chicken compost pellets near its base. Spread these pellets to the drip line. It is important to leave enough space between the tree's stem and pellets. When you water the plant, the pellets gradually start releasing nitrogen into the soil.
Applying Granular Fertilizer
Apply a grainy, slow-release fertilizer in spring as well as at the starting and end of the summer season. If your tree is around three years old, spread enough fertilizer around your tree's base. You can even spread it beyond the drip line. You may have to use large amounts of fertilizer in case your tree is over three years old.
Get a Rake
Gently mix fertilizer with the soil using a rake. Avoid exerting too much force as it can damage thin roots.
Once you've fertilized the Kaffir lime tree, give it almost one inch of water.
Care for Your Kaffir Lime Tree
Though Kaffir lime trees are likely to thrive in almost any kind of conditions, it is important to fulfill certain lime tree care requirements to ensure their optimal development.
Sun, Soil, Water – A Few Prerequisites
Kaffir limes grow well in well-drained, moist soil. If your tree is planted indoors, set it close to a sunny window. Provide them with adequate amounts of water during the growing periods. Since excessive water can damage its roots, it is better to let the soil dry out before you water your plant once again.
Protection From Frost
Kaffir lime trees need to be protected from harsh, cold climates. If your tree is planted outside, bring it inside the house during winter.
Efficient lime tree care can help you get a fully-developed, healthy, and sweet-smelling Kaffir lime tree.


How To Start A Husqvarna Chainsaw
Before Start A Husqvarna Chainsaw, be sure to understand the operator's handbook for your particular saw since charges may differ among various models. Also, produce sure you perpetually observe ordinances in your city.
The chain brake should be initiated when you commence the chainsaw. It can begin many chainsaw models in what is perceived as a 'half-throttle position. In this situation, the chain can twist – if the cable brake is not initiated. There are two safe locations to begin your chainsaw: on the ground or with the chainsaw between legs
Ttarting husqvarna chainsaw
ps: Check our list of best 50cc chainsaw
On the ground
1.Confront your right foot in the back handle and hold a firm grip on your left hand's front arm. Save your left arm continuously.
2.Remove the author's name with your right hand. Iterate the engine fires continuously.
Begin the chainsaw within your legs
1.Install the rear arm within your left thigh and following your right knee.
2.Maintain the front grip firmly with your left palm. Make sure to have your left arm through.
Starting stihl chainsaw
1.Enter the cable drag.
2.If the saw (not hole saw) is provided with Air Purge/combustible pump, handle the bulb (prime) several times continuously. The fuel becomes visible and opens the carburetor.
3.Begin the choke and (on specific models) squeeze the decompression lever.
4.Pull the author handle continuously the engine fires. Push these choke (half-throttle) and draw again unto the saw starts.
5.Quicken (rev) so that the motor idles and then releases the train check.
We are beginning a hot engine.
The chainsaw begins without the choke if the generator is hot. Watch the instructions before, but ignore the details linking to the choke. If the motor is hard to start, apply a half-throttle. You enter the half-throttle use by first completely arousing the choke. Then move the government back.
Inertia function inspection
1.Please turn off the saw and keep it with the model bar over a projection or any other stable object. The distance between the projection and the design bar is subordinate to the chainsaw and model bar height.
2.Loosen the front arm and allow pressure to produce the chainsaw down, rotating around the rear handle towards the piece.
3.If the design bar hits the end, It should trigger the chainsaw brake.
Series damper inspection
1.Begin the saw. Take the chainsaw securely by the first and rear arms.
2.Quicken and then clear the feed.
3.push start chainsaw brake by turning your left wrist towards the keeper. Do not let go of the forward arm.
4.The cable should now stop quickly.
5.If the saw is provided with TrioBrake™, reform but now begin the rear brake protector by moving your best wrist upwards continuously, it touches and stimulates the brake. The chain should stop quickly.
Link(s) lube inspection
1.Begin the chainsaw. Take the saw above a stump or a block of wood and rev up the engine.
2.The cable lube is working if there is a line of oil moved on the projection or account.
1.Why will my Husqvarna chainsaw not start?
If the glow plug provides a spark and you still possess problems starting your chainsaw, it's time to reduce the gap. The glitter plug gap is an air gap within the ground terminal and the common electrode. If the gap is too short, the spark strives to light the fuel and air infiltration.
2.How do you start a Husqvarna 350 chainsaw?
Check the head grip firmly with your remaining hand. Pull the opener handle with your right palm. Repeat until the engine fires. Push the choke (half-throttle) and extract until the saw excites.
3.How do you start a chainsaw that won't start?
To resolve this dilemma:
 1. Remove the spark connection hole folding away from you to empty all the fuel in the container.
 2. Deactivate the choke by starting in button, then pull the author cord 6-8 times as you clasp in the accelerator control.
 3. Dry off the spark hydrant and refit it, pursuing in the station.
4.How do you warm up a Husqvarna chainsaw?
Fervent beginning, a chainsaw ( check our best chainsaw mills here) boils feathers to doing so when the engine is hot. While the plan is the same as freezing starting, bound everything to do with the choke. In the situation of a difficult start, we support warm lighting the engine on a half-throttle.
