What do seagulls eat? Most people will answer this question with the word "garbage" since that is what they seem to be eating fairly often. These birds get a really bad reputation since they are usually hovering around, beaches and parks waiting to be fed or for the chance to eat food that has been left behind. Garbage and left overs are not their first choice of food though. To easier answer the question, it is helpful to look at individual species of seagulls.
Black Legged Kittiwake
The hind toe located on this species gives this bird the nickname "three-toed" since they appear to have three toes instead of four toes. These seagulls eat plankton, marine invertebrates and fish. They feed while in flock formation and catch their prey at the surface of the water. They are unique since they are also capable of diving below the surface which make them rare. None of the other species of seagulls are capable of obtaining their prey under water.
These seagulls are one of the few seagulls that nest during their mating season in trees instead of on the ground. These birds are found from Alaska to the Great Lakes and they feed primarily on insects, crustaceans, snails, fish and marine worms.
These birds nest in a very shallow depression located in the ground that is lined with feathers and vegetation. They are found on the Pacific coastline and enjoy eating fish, insects and eggs. These are very famous birds that come to mind when the, "What do seagulls eat?" question is asked since they often scavenge docks and dumps. These seagulls are also often seen following a farmer as he plows his field and they eat any stirred up insect activity. They will also often find a swarm of flies on a beach, start at one end and literally run through the flies with its bill open and catch as many flies as it can.
Common Black Headed Gull
These birds are fairly new to North America and were first spotted in Canada in the beginning of the 1900s. They reach maturity at two years old and prefer to feed on small fish, insects, earthworms and small berries. They will often follow behind fishing boats and plunge for small fish. These birds are also known for following fields being plowed and eat earthworms and invertebrates.
These unique seagulls make their floating nests out of cattails and grass in shallow water. They participate in two molts per year instead of one and they eat spiders, insects, small berries and small fish. In addition to other seagull species, they will follow farmers plowing the fields as well.
This seagull is called the "four year gull," because it takes four years to mature to an adult. They live in Northern Canada and Alaska and migrate to upper areas of the United States for the winter. These are predatory gulls and prey on plovers, auks, ptarmigans, birds, small ducks and fish. They are also scavengers and feed on dead animals, garbage and will invade bird colonies and steal their eggs.
These are another "four year gull," taking four years to become an adult. They are found at the Pacific Northwest coastline and are omnivores, eating almost anything including marine creatures, fish, eggs, small birds, invertebrates, small mammals and refuse from trash cans, parking lots and dumps.
Seagulls prefer to feed on marine life, insects and natural environmental food sources but in desperation they will feed on garbage. Sometimes seagulls will grow accustomed to feeding on garbage when it is in abundance and get lazy and forget how to hunt for themselves. Next time you are at a park or a beach it you should know that you are doing the seagulls no favor by feeding them, especially if you feed them bread. If you must feed seagulls, give them leafy greens or something that they can easily digest.

Permanent mold casting is an ideal option for creating custom components due to the ability to achieve the exact specifications of a complex shape or design. Permanent mold casting uses metal cores to form the interior passages within a casting, as well as shape the exterior portions of more complex shapes and designs. Forming cavities in a permanent mold casting is best done with permanent steel cores. When the design is such that permanent cores cannot be removed, destructive cores are used. This variation is called the semi-permanent mold method. Sectional steel cores are sometimes used.
The basic difference between permanent mold and die-casting is that permanent mold is a gravity feed process whereas die-casting uses pressurized injection. Gravity feed yields a denser casting. Metal molds (or dies) usually are made of high-alloy iron or steel and may have a production life of 120,000 castings or more.
Permanent mold and sand casting have similar processes by pouring a liquid metal solution in the mold to produce the permanent cast. While sand casting has been used readily for centuries, permanent mold castings usually have better mechanical properties than sand castings because solidification is quicker, and the fill is more consistent and accurate.

text: Most Americans are now in some form of managed care plan that restricts access to services in order to reduce costs. It is difficult to determine whether these restrictions affect health because individuals and firms self-select into managed care. We investigate the effect of managed care using a California law that required some pregnant women on Medicaid to enter managed care. We use a unique longitudinal database of California births in which we observe changes in the regime faced by individual mothers between births. We find that Medicaid managed care reduced the quality of prenatal care and increased low birth weight, prematurity, and neonatal death.

Understanding The Difference Between Water Damage Mitigation, Remediation, And Restoration
If your home is damaged by water from a broken pipe or flood event, then you need to understand the difference between each of these three terms:
- water damage mitigation
- water damage remediation
- water damage restoration
Although these three terms are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to three distinct things. And, understanding this will make negotiating damage claims with your homeowner's or flood insurance a lot easier.
To help you out, here are the basics you need to know:
1. Water Damage Mitigation
The term "water damage mitigation" refers to the process of preventing additional damage by stopping the flow of water and removing any standing water that can be removed.
While floodwaters will obviously need to recede on their own over time, a broken pipe can immediately have the water turned off to it to stop any additional water flow that will make the damage worse.
2. Water Damage Remediation
While water damage mitigation addresses the immediate issues of turning off the water and preventing additional damage, the term "water damage remediation" refers to the process of salvaging anything that got wet but can still be saved.
Typical water damage mitigation tasks are:
- cleaning and drying things out
- sanitation to prevent mold and mildew growth
- minor drywall and flooring repairs
Typically, hard goods such as cabinets, furniture, and items made of non-porous materials can be salvaged after a flood simply by being dried well and treated for mold.
However, absorbent building materials such as drywall and wall-to-wall carpeting will often need to be replaced.
3. Water Damage Restoration
The third term "water damage restoration" refers to the process of returning your home to its pre-loss state.
After the restoration process is completed, your home will be structurally sound with no remaining hazards such as mold or mildew growth.
The water damage restoration process typically involves fixing or replacing such things as:
- walls and ceilings
- drywall and insulation
- wall-to-wall carpets and cabinets
In addition, the restoration process will also include the replacement of plumbing or electrical systems, or their individual components, that were irreparably damaged by the flooding water.
Finally, if your home was involved in a major flood event where the entire house was inundated by over a foot of water, then the water damage restoration process will likely involve reconstructing whole rooms or perhaps even replacing the entire house if the damage is too severe for restoration.


Early case assessment (ECA) is obsolete
Early case assessment (ECA) software takes collected data (scanned documents, native documents, emails, forensic images, etc.) and lets you: (1) run searches using keywords, date ranges, etc. on the data; (2) see analytics for the data as a whole and for sets of search results, for example, number of documents, file types, custodians, and common words or phrases; and (3) "cull" the data before fully processing it and loading it into separate review software so that only part of the data collected actually makes it into the review software.
The only reason people think they need separate ECA software is price: it might cost $30 / GB or $40 / GB to process and load data into ECA software, whereas it might cost $200 / GB, $300 / GB, $400 / GB, or more to load the same data into review software.

Built in 1719, Fraunces Tavern was originally an elegant home for the merchant Stephan DeLancy and his family. But when tavern-keepe, Samuel Fraunces bought the building in 1762 and christened it with his name, the building became transformed into one of the most popular taverns in the area. Located on the corner of Pearl and Broad streets, the tavern played a large role in pre-Revolutionary War activities, including housing the Sons of Liberty. However, this historical tavern is most famous for hosting a festive dinner on December 4, 1783, after the British troops evacuated New York, where George Washington gave his farewell address to the officers of the Continental Army. Once America began to move on from the war, New York became the nation's capital and chose the Fraunces Tavern to host the offices of the Departments of War, Treasury and Foreign Affairs, though they were vacated once the capital moved to Philadelphia in 1790.
After suffering multiple fires in the 19th century, the original design of the historic building was swept away by the flames. Almost demolished in 1900 to be turned into a parking lot, the Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York bought the building in 1904 and returned it to its original colonial appearance and glory. Serving as the office for the Sons of the Revolution until 2002, the building is now a tavern, restaurant and museum. Where else can you get a burger, beer, and a taste of real American Revolutionary history? If Fraunces Tavern was good enough for George Washington, shouldn't that be enough to at least warrant a visit? — Nicole Ellul

National Loyalty: France
Appearance: Small
Special Abilities:
Status: Active
Sauvignon was dispatched to spy on the Dover covert and met two of the sick dragons. To protect the secret of the Dragon Plague, William Laurence asked Temeraire to use the Divine wind on her. Temeraire spared her life by roaring above her head instead of directly targeting her, but she tumbled into the sand pit where the Longwings were quarantined.
She and Temeraire were forced into quarantine together. She began to show symptoms of the disease four days later, while Temeraire remained healthy. Later, Admiral Nelson, Lord Mulgrave and Admiral Gambier hoped to deliberately infect all the dragons of the Armee de l'Air by allowing the ailing Sauvignon to return to France.
The British Aerial Corps thought it terrible to knowingly spread the plague to Europe, and worried that Napoleon Bonaparte would then attempt to cross the Channel and invade England before the French dragons were significantly compromised.

Today's youth are busier than ever before. Think about your child, grandchild or other child you know and their activities over the last month – chances are they were involved in Y Ball, band, dance or a number of other activities. There's no way around it, many kids today are involved in more clubs and activities outside of school than ever before. While these activities may provide benefits for youth, 4-H is unique in that the entire family is involved in the process of youth development. 4-H works to build character, confidence and skills not just for the youth, but for the entire family.
4-H accomplishes these things in many ways. 4-H youth improve their self-confidence, learn subject matter, and develop important skills including leadership, citizenship, communication and decision making – all of which they'll need to compete today and in the future. Families are encouraged to be involved in projects and instruction together, parents become the resource. This creates a framework for youth development within the home in other areas.
So who can benefit from 4-H? Typically, people think 4-H is for children who live in the country, which is not true. There are actually more than 28,000 young people from all across Missouri who participate in 4-H. In fact, 20% of Missouri 4-H members reside on farms (41% come from towns of less than 10,000). The program welcomes all youth ages 5-18, from both rural and urban settings.
4-H encourages family involvement in many ways. Parents and other interested adults are encouraged to get involved in 4-H. Adults and young teens can become a volunteer leader or assistant, share a skill or some knowledge with a group, supply refreshments for a meeting, or sign up to be a project leader. 4-H has more than 150 fun projects to explore from photography to model rocketry to gardening and numerous animal projects. The most popular projects in this area include projects related to livestock, dog care, photography, and shooting sports.
Older teens are realizing the need for leadership skills and 4-H lets them participate in programs providing leadership to younger members and volunteering in other 4-H opportunities. They also have opportunities to travel on many leadership trips: Teen Conference, Citizenship Washington Focus, National 4-H Conference, National 4-H Congress, and State 4-H Congress. Our next regional event is a 4-H Lock-In to be held February 22nd at the Chillicothe YMCA for youth grades 6 and up.
The 4-H program is a volunteer-led organization that reaches youth through a variety of programs. It provides fun, educational opportunities at the local, state, national and international levels. Missouri 4-H has over 11,000 dedicated volunteers who make 4-H programs possible. We are currently in need of volunteers to help with various projects and our 4-H LIFE program (4-H for children of offenders). If you want to help, you can make a difference!
Parents are encouraged to contact their local University of Missouri Extension Office for more information on how to enroll their children in 4-H. Youth have fun learning with new and old friends in clubs and classrooms, and at meetings, social activities, tours, trips, camps and fairs. They learn about themselves and experience new challenges. Give them a chance to pick their own 4-H adventure that will last a lifetime. The 4-H year is underway, but members may join at any time. If you are interested in joining a club or volunteering as a project leader, contact Shaun Murphy, Regional Youth Specialist, at 660/_PHONE_.


the exhalent siphon. This stimulates the females to release their eggs also along the excurrent water. Fertilization is a chance external phenomenon taking place in the water. Thus to compensate for wastage and to increase the chances of fertilization large numbers of sperms and eggs are produced, with large numbers of clams spawning at the same time. A mature female clam has been estimated to spawn 1 to 5 million eggs per spawning event, producing up to 40 million or more eggs per year. Likewise sperms are also produced in enormous quantities.
After fertilization, during the first 12-14 hours the fertilized eggs become trocophore larvae, which are tiny and cylindrical with cilia and swim about feeding on diatoms. By the beginning of the second day, the trocophore larvae has transformed into a veliger larvae, with tiny lobes that may be used as paddles for swimming. In the next 6-10 days, the body organs, foot and shell begin to develop. The lobes are shed and the foot develops byssal threads, that fix the larvae to rocks, sea weeds or other sedimentary deposits on the floor of the ocean. After the secretion of the shell is complete, calcification takes place and the byssal threads are detached, producing adult clams, that burrows into the surface. The larvae during their free floating period can be dispersed by currents, and preyed upon by other animals like crabs. Thus only about 10% of all veliger larvae reach adulthood. At very low temperatures both spawning as well as other growth activities are drastically reduced.
The natural life span of Mercenaria mercenaria
The natural life span of Mercenaria in not known for certain, because most of the clams are harvested for food. However, counts of growth rings indicate that the hard clam, in the absence of predation or commercial exploitation, may live as long as 40 years. The general observation that has been made is that the growth of the clam almost ceases after the age of 15 years, with annual growth slowing down to about 1 mm per year.
Factors that affect the growth of Mercenaria mercenaria
Among the important factors that affect the growth and distribution of Mercenaria mercenaria are 1) water temperature 2) salinity 3) Oxygen 4) pH 5) food availability 6) degree of crowding.
1) Water temperature :- Water temperature is the most important factor that sets the limits of growth of the hard clam. The optimal growth temperature of hard clams has been determined to be 20 °C, with no growth taking place above 31 °C or below 9 °C. At 4 °C Mercenaria enters hibernation. Maximum growth of larvae takes place between 22.5 - 36.5 °C with a minimum temperature requirement of at least 12.5 °C. Thus in the northern areas of the geographic range in the east coast of the United States, growth of hard clams take place only during the summer months when water temperature reaches 20 °C, the optimal temperature for their growth. During winter growth ceases completely when temperature fall below 5-6 °C. In the southern areas of the range growth tends to be more continuous. However, growth is rapid during spring and autumn (fall), tends to slow down during the winter months, and is the slowest during the hot summer months. In Florida the growth rates of Mercenaria is 3 times greater than in the northern waters.
2) Salinity - Salinity also affects the survival and distribution of hard clams, which are particularly vulnerable to adverse environmental conditions caused by the drop in salinity. Older hard clams show greater tolerance towards decrease in salinity. The combination of low salinity and high temperature can be drastic to the development and survival of the hard clams. Normal egg development takes place within the salinity range of 20 to 32.5 ppt. It has been found that when the salinity exceeds 35 ppt, only 1% of the eggs develop to the larval stage, and at salinities below 17.5 ppt, none of the eggs develop at all. Maximum growth of larvae takes place at salinities between 21-30 ppt. When salinity decreases, growth of larvae also decrease, and ceases below 15 ppt, the larval mortality also increasing. Adult clams are able to withstand low salinity as low as 10 ppt for up to 4-5 weeks, by closing their valves.
3) Oxygen Concentration - For normal development of embryos oxygen concentration in the water should be at least 0.5 mg/L (milligram per liter). When concentration drops to 0.2 mg/L, 100% mortality of the embryos occurred. When the concentration was 0.34 mg/L development of the embryo proceeded only up to the trochophore stage, with no shell formation. The growth of larvae was optimal above 4.2 mg/L, and poor below 2.4 mg/L.
4) pH - The pH optimum for the growth of larvae is between 7 and 8.75, i.e. neutral to slightly alkaline. However, adult hard clams can tolerate a much broader pH range.
5) Availability of food - The main food of hard clams are single-celled algae and diatoms, that are taken in by the inhalent siphon, filtered by cilia over the gills and directed towards the mouth, along ciliary tracts. The availability of these single-celled planktonic algae in the aquatic environment also influence the growth of the clams. It has been found that the density of hard clams on eel grass beds in North Carolina, is 5 times more than the density in nearby sand flats. The size of the hard clams growing on the eel grass beds were also slightly greater than those from the sand flats. Both the increase in numbers and the size has been directly correlated with the availability of more food in the eel grass beds for juvenile clams, said to be caused by hydrodynamic baffling by the sea grass, which simply means, reduction in underwater currents around the sea grass, that enhances the deposition of fine sediments and suspended materials around the blades of sea grass, that provides a rich food source for the clams.
6) Degree of crowding - This is also associated with the density of occurrence of clams in natural or farm conditions. Greater the density of occurrence of the clams slower is their growth rate. Hard clams reared at high densities (>360 per square foot) were found to take longer to reach the same size as those reared under less crowded (approximately 30 per sq. ft.) conditions. This is obviously related to the amount of food available for the clams under both conditions.
Commercial Importance of Mercenaria mercenaria
Mercenaria is commercially more important as a source of food, than as a source of pearls. Hard clam meat is a popular delicacy and highly valued source of food, that many eastern coastal states in United States invested heavily in the aquaculture of hard clams to meet the increase in demand. The pioneers of the hard clam aquaculture industry were Massachusetts, New Jersey and North Carolina in the late 1970s. By the late 1980s hard clam aquaculture had spread to all the eastern coastal states from Massachusetts to Florida, but the major producers were Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina and Florida. Florida and Virginia have emerged as the top most producers in recent years. In the State of Florida, the commercial catch of wild harvested hard clams Mercenaria mercenaria, between the year 1987 to 2001 was 13.5 million pounds, with a dollar value of over $98.9 million, an average of $6.59 million per year. The popularity of the clam lead to its introduction into waters that were not originally its natural home, in the west coast of the United States and countries in the Caribbean, Europe and Asia.
An interesting fact about Mercenaria mercenaria as a source of food is that during its development it is more valuable when it is within a certain range of size, 2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm), beyond which the value decreases. The peak period of their commercial marketability is approximately between 4 and 8 years of age, when the clams measure between 2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm). When the clams are between 2.0 and 2.9 inches (5.0 - 7.4 cm) they are known as "littleneck" and when the size is between 3.0 - 4.0 inches (7.6 - 10.0 cm) they are referred to as "cherrystones."

Many children are put off them because they think they are difficult, as well as there being some parents that don't want to practice them with their child because they sound intimidating.
'Tricky' words are called that because you can't sound them out. That's all there is to them!
So, in short, what is a 'tricky' word?
A 'tricky' word is one that cannot be sounded out. They are words that are non-phonetic. If you sound them out and then try to blend the sounds, you will get a word that does not sound right. They are words that must be recognized by sight.

Through funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (HALO) led a series of webinars on physical literacy and the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy.
Physical Literacy Assessment 101
The goal of this session is to provide attendees with an overview of physical literacy and introduce the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL). Attendees will be provided with a brief history of how the CAPL was developed and why it is a valid and reliable assessment of physical literacy for children 8 to 12 years of age. Attendees will also learn the benefits of using the CAPL within their program, including how assessment results can enhance program delivery.
A Practitioner's Guide to Doing the CAPL
During this interactive session, attendees will be provided with an in-depth description of the CAPL domains (Daily behaviour, Physical Competence, Knowledge and Understanding, and Motivation and Confidence) and learn how to administer each of the CAPL protocols. Attendees will learn the ins and outs of how the CAPL can easily integrate into their existing programs.
The Obstacle Course Advanced Skill Development
One of the CAPL protocols used within the Physical Competence domain is an obstacle course that assesses a child's fundamental, complex and combined movement skills. This session will use a hands-on approach to teach attendees how to administer, score and interpret the CAPL obstacle course.
What Do My Physical Literacy Assessment Results Mean?
It is important for leaders, parents, and children to be able to interpret the results of the CAPL assessment. During this session, attendees will be taken through the CAPL website step-by-step and learn how to calculate and summarize assessment results. After this session, attendees will understand what the CAPL assessment results mean for the child and programme provision.
Putting Physical Literacy within REACH (Recreation, Education, Allied health, Coaching, Healthcare)
Sometimes it may be easier to screen the children in their program for physical literacy deficits and only use the CAPL with children who are struggling on their physical literacy journey. During this interactive session, attendees will learn how to administer quick and easy physical literacy screening tasks that, in less than five minutes, will enable leaders to identify the children who are most like to be struggling on their physical literacy journey.

6.4 Forecasting by analogy
A useful judgmental approach which is often implemented in practice is forecasting by analogy. A common example is the pricing of a house through an appraisal process. An appraiser estimates the market value of a house by comparing it to similar properties that have sold in the area. The degree of similarity depends on the attributes considered. With house appraisals, attributes such as land size, dwelling size, numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, and garage space are usually considered.
Even thinking and discussing analogous products or situations can generate useful (and sometimes crucial) information. We illustrate this point with the following example.8
Example: Designing a high school curriculum
A small group of academics and teachers were assigned the task of developing a curriculum for teaching judgement and decision making under uncertainty for high schools in Israel. Each group member was asked to forecast how long it would take for the curriculum to be completed. Responses ranged between 18 and 30 months. One of the group members who was an expert in curriculum design was asked to consider analogous curricula developments around the world. He concluded that 40% of analogous groups he considered never completed the task. The rest took between 7 to 10 years. The Israel project was completed in 8 years.
Obviously, forecasting by analogy comes with challenges. We should aspire to base forecasts on multiple analogies rather than a single analogy, which may create biases. However, these may be challenging to identify. Similarly, we should aspire to consider multiple attributes. Identifying or even comparing these may not always be straightforward. As always, we suggest performing these comparisons and the forecasting process using a systematic approach. Developing a detailed scoring mechanism to rank attributes and record the process of ranking will always be useful.
A structured analogy
Alternatively, a structured approach comprising a panel of experts can be implemented, as was proposed by Green & Armstrong (2007). The concept is similar to that of a Delphi; however, the forecasting task is completed by considering analogies. First, a facilitator is appointed. Then the structured approach involves the following steps.
- A panel of experts who are likely to have experience with analogous situations is assembled.
- Tasks/challenges are set and distributed to the experts.
- Experts identify and describe as many analogies as they can, and generate forecasts based on each analogy.
- Experts list similarities and differences of each analogy to the target situation, then rate the similarity of each analogy to the target situation on a scale.
- Forecasts are derived by the facilitator using a set rule. This can be a weighted average, where the weights can be guided by the ranking scores of each analogy by the experts.
As with the Delphi approach, anonymity of the experts may be an advantage in not suppressing creativity, but could hinder collaboration. Green and Armstrong found no gain in collaboration between the experts in their results. A key finding was that experts with multiple analogies (more than two), and who had direct experience with the analogies, generated the most accurate forecasts.

The normal range for total thyroxine, abbreviated as T4, is 5.4 to 11.5 micrograms per deciliter in adults, while the normal adult range for total triiodothyronine, abbreviated as T3, is 80 to 200 nanograms per deciliter, according to WebMD. In adults, thyroid-stimulating hormone, known as TSH, should be between 0.4 and 4.2 microunits per milliliter.Continue Reading
Children have different normal ranges for these tests, notes WebMD. For a newborn, a normal T4 range is 11.8 to 22.6 micrograms per deciliter, and a normal TSH range for a newborn is 1 to 39 microunits per milliliter. Older children should have T4 in the range of 6.4 to 13.3 micrograms per deciliter, and a TSH range of 0.7 to 6.4 microunits per milliliter. Children ages 1 to 14 should have a T3 level of 105 to 245 nanograms per deciliter, while people from the ages of 12 to 23 should have a normal T3 range of 82 to 213 nanograms per deciliter.
The thyroid glands produce T3 and T4 hormones, explains WebMD. In children under the age of 3, these hormones are essential for brain development. Older children also need to receive the correct amount of these hormones to aid in proper body development. In adults, T3 and T4 hormones regulate the metabolism. Low T3 and T4 values indicate hypothyroidism, while high values indicate hyperthyroidism.
The pituitary gland produces the TSH hormone, which triggers the thyroid to make T3 and T4, states WebMD. Low TSH values indicate possible hyperthyroidism, damage to the pituitary gland, a first-trimester pregnancy or an excess of thyroid-stimulating medication. High TSH values can indicate hypothryroidism, a pituitary gland tumor or that an insufficient amount of thyroid medication is in the bloodstream.Learn more about Medical Ranges & Levels

Magma chamber recharge at Vesuvius
(29 September 2006)
A new paper in Geology by Daniel Morgan and others, including Jon Davidson, identifies three magma chamber recharge events in the century before the AD79 eruption of Vesuvius. The work analysed the concentration of barium in sanidine crystals, including modelling of diffusion profiles within individual crystals. The most recent recharge event occurred ~20 years before the actual eruption. It is very interesting that the timescales of recharge seem to correspond to a seismic event recorded ~17 years prior to the AD 79 eruption, so we may be witnessing a geochemical fingerprint of a geophysical event.

I see the contents of both the files are identical. Can anyone please explain the difference between the two. Also, if someone can precisely explain what a "listener" is used for, that would be a great help.
The listener process is responsible to handle all connect request from client. The listener can work in 2 differen modes:
dedicated - for each connect request, the listener start a server process and hands it to the client. this server process will serve the client until it disconnects.
shared (MTS) - there are several dispathcers in the system. each dispatcher works with a server process. when a listener gets the connect request, it asks the most available dispatcher for a server process, the dispatcher is handed to the client and the client works with the dispatcher until it disconnects. In this mode, there are fewer server processes in the system.
The listener.ora file contains information about the listener, its addresss and protocol and the services it serves (the instances). The listener process uses this file for configuration.
The tnsnames.ora file is used to resolve the connect string in the connect request ("connect scott/tiger@orcl") to a database.
jmodic and pando: i did read the manuals. i am not able to decipher the conceptual difference and the use of a listener. thats why i posted. thx anyways for ur encouragement. we definitely do need some good moderators like you guys.

1. When the Oracle client wants to Eshtablis connection with any of the oracle servers, net8 configuration has to be done.And the details about the server will be entered in the Tnsnames File.Every time you want to connect to the server the tnsnames files will be read and the server details will be used to connect with the server.
2. The listener process will be in the Oracle Server which will be constantly listening on the port, and if any client wishes to connect to the server hands off the request to the listener and the listener takes care of the rest in authenticating and connecting.( also it will handle to request to the dispatcher in the case of Shared server mode)
Good Judgement comes from Experience.

- Publisher's Summary
- In this major new text, Joshua Fishman charts the rise of vernacular literacy in Europe, and the major social, economic, religious, political, demographic, educational and philosophical changes that attended it. Following the story up until the present day, the book examines the people who became leaders of the growth of vernacular literacy in Europe, and looks at how European colonizers viewed vernacular literacy efforts in their current and former colonies. Looking forward, Fishman discusses how new technology affects vernacular literacy both now and in the present, and whether developments in voice and visual media mean that vernacular literacy will be less important to future generations than it is to us. 'European Vernacular Literacy' is not only a review of well-known facts and theories of the rise of vernacular literacy in Europe, but an attempt to reintegrate and rethink them along new and provocative lines, meaning that the book will be of interest not only to students of literacy and history but also to scholars interested in Fishman's latest contribution to sociolinguistics.

text: Adler recognized career development as an integral component of life. His holistic view of lifestyle as active in career endeavors is a fundamental factor in many career theories. Although his work is often not recognized in career theories, many of the constructs used are similar to those professed by Adler. One emerging theory of career development and counseling uses many of the constructs presented in Individual Psychology. Career construction theory focuses on the counseling process and uses many autobiographical memory techniques to understand the client's motivation and movement. This article highlights Adler's many contributions to understanding career development.

Healthy soil condition is the foundation of your farm
By Dr. PJ O'Connor, Grassland AGRO
The productivity of every farm in Ireland is dependent on the potential of the soils in each field to grow grass and crops.
Soil quality is something that is often taken for granted; resulting in problems arising where inadequate care and attention is paid to maintaining the soil's ability to provide the core functions that it must perform for grass and crops.
These functions include: adequate soil structure and biological activity; good plant rooting; and optimised soil pH and nutrient supply.
Damage to soil quality can occur over time where soils get ill-treated by machinery or grazing animals in poor conditions, causing compaction and structural damage. It also happens where fertiliser and lime programmes are not tailored to the needs of the soil and the grass sward or crop being grown.
Without regular inputs of lime, the soil pH will be depleted and this will have the knock-on effects of reducing the availability of phosphorus, nitrogen and other nutrients.
Applying a soil conditioner is a good way of improving the health and condition of the soil and to overcome the damage caused by everyday wear and tear that farming imposes on the soil.
What Does Physiolith Soil Conditioner do?
Physiolith from Grassland AGRO is a unique product that is designed to condition the soil. It has two key ingredients that provide benefits.
It contains a marine calcium material called Calcimer, which acts as a source of calcium for both soil structural improvement and plant nutrition.
It also works as a soil surface pH stabiliser to maintain the soil pH at optimum levels and counteract the natural acidification of soil that will occur due to rainfall, crop growth and fertiliser application. By maintaining and optimising the soil pH, the availability of nutrients in the soil is maximised.
The highly-porous nature of Calcimer makes it more reactive than conventional liming materials. The porous structure also provides micro-sites for beneficial soil bacteria to flourish.
The other key ingredient of Physiolith is a plant root stimulant, extracted from seaweed.
This stimulant causes the plant to send out more roots and root hairs; helping the grass or crop to exploit a greater volume of the soil for water and nutrient uptake. It also gives the plant better anchorage in the soil, resulting in reduced sod-pull during grazing.
Does Physiolith Work?
Yes. On-farm trials in grazed pasture in 2016 proved that Physiolith has beneficial effects on both grass yield and quality.
Yield benefits of 0.9t/ha (dry matter per hectare) of extra grass dry matter were measured on paddocks that received two bags per acre of Physiolith compared with paddocks that received no Physiolith.
The paddocks that received Physiolith also had higher calcium and crude protein contents in the grass, thus showing the potential of Physiolith to boost nutrient uptake from the soil due to the increased rooting and overall grass quality.
For best results, apply Physiolith at a rate of two bags (100 kg) per acre in early spring or late autumn. Application at reseeding also has benefits of stimulating early rooting of the newly-established grass sward.

Visualizing inundation is important in understanding the potential extent and risks of inundation, and its impacts on the community.
Visualizations can be helpful when trying to make sense of large, cumbersome data sets, as well as in analyzing trends and seeing the geographic extent of inundation events.
In this section, users will find examples of different types of resources that can help turn their data into visualizations. These resources include photos, map-viewing tools, data, and map-development guidance documents. The level of expertise needed to use these resources varies. Users with lower to moderate levels of GIS expertise may want to explore the "Picture It" and "Graph It" sections first. These sections focus on resources geared to help create simulation photos and ready-made map-viewing products. The more technical users, familiar with different data analysis techniques and GIS software packages, may want to explore the "Build It" section, where they can find mapping guidance and methods useful for creating their own maps and visualizations.
Photos, maps, and data viewers enable communities to see and understand inundation impacts
Large data sets and information can be displayed in more easily understandable graphs
Training, data, and mapping guidance are available to assist users in building their own inundation maps

Significance and Use
This practice covers the mathematical calculation of the supersaturation of three principal sulfate scaling compounds found in industrial operations. Application of this standard practice to the prediction of scale formation in a given system, however, requires experience. The calculations tell the user if a water, or mixture of waters, is in a scaling mode. Whether or not scale will in fact form, how quickly it will form, where it will form, in what quantities, and what composition are subject to factors beyond the scope of this practice. However, based on how supersaturated a given water or mixture of waters is, an objective evaluation of the relative likelihood of scale formation can be made.
Note 1—There are several personal computer (PC) type programs that are both available commercially and publicly that will perform these calculations.
1.1 This practice covers the calculation of supersaturation of barium sulfate, strontium sulfate, and calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) in brackish water, seawater, and brines in which barium, strontium, and calcium ions either coexist or exist individually in solution in the presence of sulfate ions.
1.2 This practice is not applicable for calculating calcium sulfate dihydrate supersaturation if the temperatures of saline waters under investigation exceed 95°C. At temperatures above 95°C, hemianhydrate and anhydrite would be major insoluble forms.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Multipolar vs Monopolar Radiofrequency
Multipolar Radiofrequency
Multipolar RF is essentially electrical energy, which is converted to heat energy when penetrating the skin and fatty tissue. The RF penetrates the skin layers to a predetermined depth in order to selectively heat the target area. The penetration depth is determined by the distance between the poles on the Multipolar Applicator on the device.
In the case of skin rejuvenation and tightening, the skin tissue and the extracellular matrix where the collagen fibres are embedded in the target area. The local heating causes an immediate contraction of the collagen fibres and at the same time increases the metabolism of the fibroblasts (the cells which produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid) thereby accelerating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres.
The contraction of collagen fibres and the regeneration of the collagen and elastin deposits, tighten the skin layers creating smoother, healthier and younger-looking skin.
In the case of body contouring, fat reduction and cellulite treatment, the heat energy is directed deeper into the skin, thereby heating the hypodermis (fat layer) and the dermis directly above it in order to increase the metabolism of the fat cells, increase blood and lymphatic circulation, strengthen and tighten the skin thereby breaking down fatty deposits, improving the appearance of cellulite and sagging skin on the body.
At the Renewal Institute, we make use of top quality, medical devices which include the following Multipolar Radiofrequency devices:
Monopolar Radiofrequency
In Monopolar RF devices, the poles are located quite far apart from each other usually the "inactive pole" (or grounding pad) is placed at the back of the body, while the "active pole" (which is the applicator used on the target area) is used over the target zone. As a result, the current has no other choice but to traverse through ALL the skin layers after entering the skin, travel through the body to the other pole, and exit there.
This means that with monopolar RF, and depending on some other factors too, we can treat not only the skin surface (epidermis) but also the middle skin layer (dermis – responsible for skin tightening), the deepest skin layer (hypodermis – where our cellulite is formed) and even the subcutaneous fat deposits below the skin itself.
Monopolar RF allows us the ability to go much deeper with our treatments.
At the Renewal Institute, we make use of top quality, medical devices which include the following Monopolar Radiofrequency devices:

text: Human being enteric viruses can be present in untreated and inadequately treated drinking water. between viable and nonviable bacteria with DNA genomes but it has not been used to distinguish between infectious and noninfectious enteric viruses with RNA genomes. With this study PMA in conjunction with RT-PCR (PMA-RT-PCR) was used to determine the infectivity of enteric RNA viruses in water. Coxsackievirus poliovirus echovirus and Norwalk computer virus were rendered noninfectious or inactivated CC BM28 10004 by treatment with warmth (72°C 37 and 19°C) or hypochlorite. Infectious or native and noninfectious or inactivated viruses were treated with PMA. This was followed by RNA extraction and RT-PCR or quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. The PMA-RT-PCR results indicated that PMA treatment did not interfere with detection of infectious or native viruses but prevented detection of noninfectious or inactivated viruses that were rendered noninfectious or inactivated by treatment at 72°C and 37°C and by hypochlorite treatment. However PMA-RT-PCR was unable to prevent detection of enteroviruses that were rendered noninfectious by CC 10004 treatment at 19°C. After PMA treatment poliovirus that was rendered noninfectious by treatment at 37°C was undetectable by qRT-PCR but PMA treatment CC 10004 did not affect detection of Norwalk computer virus. PMA-RT-PCR was also shown to be effective for detecting infectious poliovirus in the presence of noninfectious computer virus and in an environmental matrix. We concluded that PMA can be used to differentiate between potentially infectious and noninfectious viruses under the conditions defined above. Waterborne enteric viral illness is common worldwide (18). The enteric viruses that may be transmitted through water include enteroviruses such as poliovirus coxsackievirus and echovirus; human caliciviruses such as noroviruses (NoV) and sapoviruses; rotaviruses; hepatitis A computer virus (HAV); and adenoviruses. Enteroviruses can cause slight to severe and life-threatening ailments ranging from slight gastroenteritis and top respiratory tract infections to encephalitis meningitis and myocarditis (40). Noroviruses are the second most common cause of viral gastroenteritis next to rotaviruses worldwide (38). In recent years a number of these enteric viruses have been the etiological providers of several waterborne outbreaks (1 2 10 14 21 29 32 Currently CC 10004 you will find three primary methods for detection of CC 10004 these viruses. The first approach is definitely propagating the viruses in cells culture and determining their cytopathic effects (CPE). While this approach yields information about the infectivity of a virus it is expensive labor-intensive and time-consuming. It can take several weeks for detection of the CPE of some environmental strains using the Buffalo green monkey kidney (BGM) cell collection that is often used for studies of the event of enteric viruses in environmental water (12). In addition the cells culture method is not feasible for viruses which are not cytopathic in BGM cells such as HAV and rotaviruses and for noroviruses which do not grow in founded cell tradition systems. Although noroviruses have been reported to grow in highly differentiated three-dimensional (3D) cell ethnicities (42) this system is definitely labor-intensive and requires specialized products and extensive encounter in the maintenance of 3D cell ethnicities. The second approach for virus detection is PCR which can be performed with and without reverse transcription for RNA and DNA viruses respectively. PCR is definitely rapid sensitive and specific and may be made quantitative by use of real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) techniques. This approach however detects computer virus nucleic acids of both infectious and noninfectious viruses which limits conclusions regarding the significance for public health. A third approach for virus detection is definitely integrated cell tradition PCR (ICC-PCR) (8 35 36 This approach combines the advantages of both cells tradition and PCR while overcoming some of the limitations of each of these methods. Viruses that replicate but do not create cytopathic effects can potentially be detected and this method can be performed in ways that detect only infectious virus; however ICC-PCR does not currently detect the important norovirus.


Anti-dumping legislation is based on the rhetoric of fairness. The underlying concern is that a foreign company with considerable market power in its home country could sell its products at a loss in Europe to drive out competitors and increase its prices afterwards. The goal of anti-dumping measures, therefore, is to increase import prices when these are considered unjustly low, in order to provide for a level-playing field in global trade.
This all sound very straightforward and appealing. But some aspects of EU anti-dumping policy can raise eyebrows. The use of the analogue country method, for instance, which underlies the calculation of the dumping margins of products coming from non-market economies, makes a justification in terms of fairness questionable.
World Trade Organization
The WTO envisages the possibility for members to take action against dumping. Dumping is defined as the introduction of a product "into the commerce of another country at less than its normal value". "Normal value" means either "the comparable price, in the ordinary course of trade, for the like product when destined for the consumption in the exporting country" or, in the absence of such domestic price, "the highest comparable price for the like product for export to any third country in the ordinary course of trade, or the cost of production of the product in the country of origin plus a reasonable addition for selling cost and profit". Dumping, in other words, is the practice of exporting a product at a price lower than the price a company normally charges on its own home market or at a price which is lower than the cost of production plus the expected profit.
The difference between the export price and normal value is called the "dumping margin," which is the relevant factor for the calculation of the anti-dumping rate. The imposition of anti-dumping measures requires that dumping is causing or threatens to cause injury to the local industry producing the like product. If this is the case, the dumping margin is added to the export price so that its allegedly unfair competitive advantage is negated. The "ordinary course of trade" is in this regard essential. The idea behind this notion is to be able to compare two markets for the purpose of determining whether there is 'fair' or 'unfair' competition that sets the product's price.
The economic and political reality of the world, however, exists of both market and non-market economies. Anti-dumping law therefore has to deal with situations in which imports from non-market economies are taken into account. The WTO does not pass judgment on whether 'dumping' is a form of unfair competition. But some governments consider unfair competition to include a situation in which prices are not determined by market forces and, with regards to determining the 'normal value' of a product, it is thought that it might be more appropriate to use another benchmark for countries that are characterized by state intervention.
The WTO recognizes that certain difficulties may exist in determining the 'normal price' where market conditions do not prevail. This has opened up the possibility to determine normal value and calculate dumping margins by using a methodology that is considered appropriate by the investigating country. A number of WTO members, including the EU, consequently use a fourth definition for countries classified as 'non-market economies'. In these cases, dumping is defined as selling below either price or costs of production in an "analogue" or "third country market". Importing countries thus use the "analogue country method" to determine the normal value of products imported from a non-market economy and compare this to the actual export price being charged.
Analogue Country Method
Several approaches of calculating 'fair' prices are allowed by the WTO. When considering the approach of the EU towards anti-dumping, we see it is characterized by a peculiar trait, namely, that the only requirement for the choice of an analogue country is that it is not chosen in an "unreasonable manner". This has an unequivocal impact on the choice of analogue country. As it turns out, the most often chosen analogue country to China, for example, is the United States.
The frequent use of the US as an analogue country to China is striking because there are deep differences in cost structures and level of sectorial development. Unsurprisingly, this results in the imposition of a higher dumping margin on the original export price of Chinese products. But comparisons to other countries, too, can lead to a distortion of figures. The selection of Brazil in the case Certain Footwear from China serves as illustration. While China has a higher GDP than Brazil, in many ways Brazil is a richer state at a different stage of economic development. Brazil's GDP per capita in 2008-12 was double that of China, energy costs are significantly higher, and the cost of doing international business in Brazil is similar to that of mature economies such as the US.
The selection of such analogue countries by the EU indicates a preference for markets that are at a different stage of economic development than the respondent country. This can hardly be called fair. If the objective is to provide a level-playing field in international trade, the dumping margin should be calculated on the basis of a comparison to countries which are economically similar.
A closer look at EU dumping policy reveals that the fairness rhetoric is not entirely justified. Indeed, the analogue country method can actually result in an unwarranted increase of the dumping margin. It can of course be argued that a higher margin is meant to dissuade countries from continuing their perceived unfair trading behaviour. And this argument is perfectly reasonable. But then one has to recognise as well that anti-dumping measures themselves can create unfair barriers to entry, which distort international trade rather than providing for the much praised level-playing field.


the following code.
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
SipFactory factory =
 (SipFactory) context.getAttribute("javax.servlet.sip.SipFactory"); Proxy
Proxy is a utility used by a SIP servlet to proxy a request. In SIP, proxying has its own sequences including forking. You can specify the following settings in proxying with Proxy:
 - Recursive routing (recurse)—When the destination of proxying returns a 3xx response, the request is proxied to the specified target.
 - Record-Route setting—Sets a Record-Route header in the specified request.
 - Parallel/Sequential (parallel)—Determines whether forking is executed in parallel or sequentially.
 - stateful—Determines whether proxying is transaction stateful. This parameter is not relevant because stateless proxy mode is deprecated in JSR289.
 - Supervising mode—In the event of the state change of proxying (response receipts), an application reports this.


Paper Doily Flowers, Cards, and Crafts for Mother's Day and More
Paper doilies are an inexpensive craft item that offers many opportunities to create pretty crafts for mothers, grandmothers, and teachers. Decorate and send a doily-decorated card for a holiday greeting or adapt it as an invitation to a tea party or dress up party.
The following crafts use small doilies. If white is the only color available, follow the directions below to dye the doilies in whatever color is desired. Some doilies have a solid circle at the center while others are totally lacy. Different doilies work better for some projects than others.
Lace Doily Sachet
A sachet is a small pouch filled with sweet-smelling plants. It can be place in a clothing drawer or hung from a hanger in the closet to make clothes smell nice. Take two small doilies with solid circle centers. Add hot glue three-quarters of the way around the center circle. Set the second doily on top to create a pouch in the middle of the shape.
Add in some lavender or potpourri and use the hot glue to seal the opening in the center. Cut a four-to-six-inch piece of ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half and hot glue the two ends to one side of the filled part of the sachet. This creates a loop to hang the sachet. If desired, hot glue some rhinestones or small ribbon flowers to the center of the sachet. Stay away from glitter, which will rub off on clothing.
Flower Bouquet From Doilies
Use two to four small doilies and one chenille stem to make each flower. Make an "okay" sign by holding the tips of the index finger and thumb of one hand together. Set a small paper doily over the okay sign. Poke the index finger of the free hand against the doily and push it through the okay sign.
Take the scrunched doily and give a twist to the bottom. Make a total of two to four scrunched doilies. Now, hold the doilies together by the twisted bases. Wrap one end of the chenille stem around all of the doilies, anchoring them together. Add a few drops of glue to hold the doilies to one another. If desired, cut on or two leaves from construction paper and slid up the chenille stem.
Present a single flower in a bud vase or create an entire bouquet.
Cut Paper Card With Doilies
Turn the flower shapes that create the lace pattern of doilies into art. Cut out the flower shapes that decorate the outer circle of the doily. Glue onto a folded piece of cardstock, using the flowers as single blossoms in a bouquet or as blooms in a garden scene. Add other details with markers or paints and the front of the card is complete.
Doily Art for Kids
Incorporate doilies into texture rubbings by cutting apart doilies and creating a pattern or picture. Glue the pieces onto paper and allow the glue to dry completely. Set a piece of paper over the doily-decorated paper. Peel the paper off of a crayon. Lay the crayon flat and rub it over the paper with enough pressure to reveal the texture of the doilies underneath.
Doilies also work well with splatter painting. For example, fill a spray bottle with liquid watercolor paint or food coloring-tinted water. Set a doily, or several overlapping doilies, on a sheet of paper and spray. The color will go through the openings in the lace.
Spraying, or painting, the doilies with watercolors is an easy way to add color to white doilies. Or, quickly dip doilies in a bowl or tinted water. Avoid saturating doilies as they will fall apart. Coloring the doilies adds more options to creating the flower, card, or sachet.

The knock-knock joke is a type of joke, probably the best-known format of the pun, and is a time-honoured "call and answer" exercise.
It is a roleplay exercise, with a punster and a recipient of wit.
The standard format has five lines:
The joke refers to the situation where someone knocks on a door and identifies to get somebody who is already inside to open the door, even though there are usually no doors involved when this joke is told. The punster and recipient can also usually see each other during the joke, so there is no actual need for identification.
Distribution and history
Knock-knock jokes are well entrenched in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Australia, the U.S.A., Canada, South Africa, Philippines and India. In nations such as Brazil and Germany they are practically unknown. In French they begin "Toc-Toc" in Afrikaans and Dutch "Klop-klop", and in Japanese and Korean "Kon-kon". In Spanish, it may be enough for the punchline to rhyme with the response. Knock-knock jokes were in common usage amongst South African school children in the early 1950s but the exact origin of the format remains uncertain.
The following was in circulation in Cape Town in about 1953:[citation needed]
Knock, knock!
Who's there?
Delores who?
Delores my shepherd... (a play on "the Lord is my shepherd")
In France, the punchline is almost always a pun on the title of a popular song, allowing the last answer to be sung :
Toc Toc! (Knock knock!)
Qui est là? (Who's there?)
Sheila qui? (Sheila who?)
Sheila lutte finale.... (a pun on "c'est la lutte finale" (It's the final struggle), the opening line of The Internationale)
A popular German riddle precludes the usual trend of including a pun in the answer, instead offering a more literal line: "Knock knock!" "Who's there?" "Boo!" "Boo who?" "I do not know anyone by that name. Unless you wish to startle me with the word "Boo", in which case you are quite unfruitful. I see no reason to open the door in either case".
In Shakespeare's play Macbeth a comic relief character delivers a 20 line monologue and satire that makes reference to events of that time. It follows the pattern of "knock knock who's there?" but it is done entirely by the character and knocks from off stage. The character is a hung over porter (in most performances drunk, but in the original he was hung over) who pretends he is the porter to the gates of hell welcoming sinners of different professions:
(Macbeth ActII, sciii)
Knock, knock, knock! Who's there, i' th' name of Beelzebub? Here's a farmer that hanged himself on the expectation of plenty. Come in time, have napkins enough about you, here you'll sweat for 't.
(this is a joke referring to a price drop in crops, as well as a joke about the heat in hell)
(this passage is believed to be a reference to a trial of the Jesuits who were charged with equivocation speaking unclearly or speaking with double meaning)
Knock, knock, knock! Who's there? Faith, here's an English tailor come hither for stealing out of a French hose. Come in, tailor. Here you may roast your goose.
(the tailor is accused of stealing cloth while making breeches, this is a joke about a fashion trend in Shakespearian times, also a pun for roasting the tailor's iron with the heat of hell)

- To specify a range of consecutive numbers, enter the first and last number separated by a hyphen. For example, to specify all numbers between 5 and 10 inclusive, enter 5-10.
- To specify several non-consecutive numbers, separate each one with a comma. For example, for the numbers 1, 5 and 9 only, enter: 1,5,9.
- Ranges can include combinations of these two elements. For example, to specify the numbers 1, 3, and all the numbers between 10 and 15, enter: 1,3,10-15.
- Negative numbers can also be entered. For example, to specify all numbers between -2 and 4, and all numbers between -10 and -5, enter: -2-4, -10--5. Don't worry if you end up with two hypens in a row - Worksheet Genius will figure it out.
- Numbers do not need to be entered in ascending order. For example, 13,5:9,20,-5 is fine.
- You can specify a step size between each number in a range - this can be used to generate multiples. To generate all the multiples of 5 between 5 and 100, enter 5-100(+5). To generate all the odd numbers between 1 and 20, enter 1-20(+2). To generate all the two digit numbers ending in 6 between 16 and 106, enter 16-106(+10).
For those of you that preferred our older method of using a colon to define a range (5:10, for example), you can still use that too if you want to.


Animal Emotions
Do animals think and feel?
Tool use in animals: Mammals, birds, and other animals make and use tools and do other "surprising" things
We're not the only animals who make and use tools
Many animals use tools (see also). Recently someone suggested this video and it is a good one. There are many surprises when we pay attention to what animals are able to do and feel (see also) and we should always keep our eyes open to new possibilities so that we come to understand animals for who they are. Many examples are provided in The Animal Manifesto, and a wonderful example of complex patterns of play has recently been noted in gorillas. We still have a lot to learn about animal intelligence, emotions, and moral behavior and this information will surely open our eyes to how we need to take the time to study animals in conditions that allow them to display their full behavioral repertoire and show us how they can adapt to many different social and nonsocial situations. We must also pay attention to the details of what they do because superficial studies don't capture the richness of their lives and the subtle nuances with which they finesse their social interactions.

GloMax®-Multi Jr Method for DNA Quantitation Using Hoechst 33258
- Comments & Ratings
Quantitation of DNA is an important step for many practices in molecular biology. Common techniques that use DNA, such as sequencing, cDNA synthesis and cloning, RNA transcription, transfection, nucleic acid labeling (e.g., random prime labeling), etc., all benefit from a defined template concentration. Failure to produce results from these techniques sometimes can be attributed to an incorrect estimate of the DNA template used. The concentration of a nucleic acid most commonly is measured by UV absorbance at 260nm (A260). Absorbance methods are limited in sensitivity, however, due to a high level of background interference.

15 Moves
25 Firecrackers
10 Flowers
120 Apples
120 Strawberries
You cannot make rows against the crops yet. You need to use the firecrackers to open them. This will waste quite a few moves, so if you only have a few moves left and have only managed to open one flower, my advice would be to quit and start again.
Luckily we have grass at the bottom so that when you can start making rows down there, you will have extra points on them.
Make your rows as long as you can so that they cover as many firecrackers as you can. Look at the crops above so that when the first row falls, you might have another row fall if you have carefully lined them up.
Once you can make rows near the flowers, make them between as many as you can.

Private Residence Relief (PRR) – Why is it so important?
Private Residence Relief (PRR) is an extremely important relief. It is the reason that when individuals sell their home that they can receive 100% tax relief and therefore pay no capital gains tax, assuming they lived in the property the whole time, have not lived elsewhere or used the property for business purposes.
For properties with large gardens and grounds, it should be noted that PRR only covers a permitted area of 0.5 hectares and therefore PRR may not cover the whole gardens and grounds of the property.
Periods of absence
Periods of absence can restrict amounts of PRR available, where the property is not being used as a main residence, but there are periods which can still be exempt if you are away from the property for one of the reasons below:
- The final 9 months is treated as deemed occupation. This is extended to 36 months if the owner moves to a care home or is disabled.
- If there is a gap of less than two years between buying a property and moving in, then PRR can be claimed provided it was due to construction, decoration, renovation or due to a delay in selling your previous home and no one else lived in the property during that period.
- If you intended on living in the home but were prevented from doing so due to living in job related accommodation (for example, armed forces, living in vicarage, etc), PRR can be claimed for the period of intention.
There are also periods that can be claimed provided you live in the property both before and after the following:
- Any period of absence less than 3 years (or less than 3 years when combined)
- Periods working abroad.
- Prevented from residing in home due to place of work or any condition imposed by employer.
For individuals with second residences, only one property can be treated as the main residence. It is possible to make an election to nominate one of the properties as your main residence and therefore this will be the property that receives PRR. If no election is made the main residence will be based on facts relating to the properties.
Married couples can only have one main residence, but there is a useful spousal exemption which enables changes in ownership without triggering CGT. However, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) may be triggered in transferring from sole to joint ownership and it's always best to seek advice before making these changes.
As can be seen in the above, there are key areas that should be factored into any decision to sell a property. If selling a former residence which doesn't qualify for full PRR and there is CGT to pay, then a CGT return and payment of the CGT liability will both be due within 60 days of completion.

The Relationship between Migration and Criminality in Marseille, _PHONE_
Date of Award
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
France, Rural-to-urban migration, Customary norms, Rural communities, Uprooting theory, Socio-economic status
Since the nineteenth century many social commentators in both America and Europe have held that migrants from the countryside to the cities commit a disproportionate share of crimes because they have escaped the close collective surveillance of individual behavior and strict enforcement of customary norms associated with small, tight-knit rural communities. A quantitative analysis of court records from one fast-growing and industrializing city, Marseille from 1825 to 1880, shows that this "uprooting" theory of crime in part held true. In general, migrants committed a disproportionate share of crimes in the city, just as they did in the rest of France.
But our statistics also show that the relationship between migration and criminality was far more complex than the traditional proponents of the "uprooting" theory of crime would have us believe. For one thing, there were often sharp differentials in the crime rates and patterns of criminality of different provincial and national groups in nineteenth century Marseille. In this respect, the most crucial factor was type of migration, not migration per se. Those groups of migrants (like the Corsicans and the Provencaux) who were most characterized by stability of employment and residence, and who came to the city more because of the opportunities it offered them than because of desperate poverty in their home regions, did not have abnormally high crime rates. Conversely, those groups (like the Italians and the people from the French Alps) who came to the city primarily because of "push" rather than "pull", who were nomadic in their residential patterns and who gravitated towards the lowliest and most unstable trades, had high crime rates. Moreover, the "uprooting" theory of crime can not explain why certain migrant groups were prominent in only certain categories of crime (e.g. property crimes, white collar crimes, violent crimes, etc.). In such cases, the most important factors were the group's socio-economic circumstances and its own criminal traditions. Therefore our crime statistics have shown that the relationship between migration and criminality in nineteenth century Marseille was very complex and many-sided, and can not be explained by any monocausal theory.
