Escape room in Milan for schools and students: why should you try it?
Escape rooms are popular with adults and also children from primary through lower and upper secondary school who love playing at detectives, explorers and investigators.
 An escape room is an ideal activity for school trips and outings: it's a team game that requires cooperation, communication and collaboration, as well as observation skills and quick-thinking.
 It's not only fun, it's also constructive, helping to train the mind and hone logical-deductive reasoning.
Children enjoy the group side of it, in an "all for one" spirit. Participants have to work together to decipher clues, solve puzzles and find a way out of the secret room.
 Trap Milano's secret rooms are studied in detail to create unique and fascinating settings: the labyrinthine interiors of an Egyptian pyramid, a ghost pirate ship, a mysterious house in the woods, a remote scientific base at the edge of the world… players have to work together to complete the narrative plot and spend an alternative and constructive afternoon, learning through play!
Discover the Escape Rooms in Milan to organize a school outing with one or more classes, or contact us for more information!
Escape Room for children of all ages, how does it work?
Solve a mystery, hunt for clues and figure out how to use the information collected to overcome a challenge: to do so, students are required to use their intuition, logic, time management and problem solving skills to achieve a common goal: escape.
Participants have the help of a Game Master, the rooms require no physical effort, just comfortable clothing and a willingness to put yourself to the test.
 The game is designed to give everyone the chance to be an active part of the plot, no one excluded.
The maximum number of participants varies from room to room, from a minimum of 7 to a maximum of 13 in "Pirate Cave", one of the most popular rooms, along with "The Pyramid".
 For large groups we can run multiple game sessions at the same time:
 Trap Milano can host a maximum of 48 players at the same time across both venues (and up to 26 players at a single venue).
Contact us to organize an escape room for your school: we have the expertise to design something really special and turn your school trip into a memorable event!
Why is the Escape Room a learning experience?
It encourages collaboration and listening skills.
It hones reasoning and problem solving skills.
It forges cooperation and communication between students.
Fun guaranteed for all students!

Producers of the "Redefining Waste" Documentary, a film series about individuals who live or create using waste, are teaming up with local students and organizations to make an educational booth made completely out of already used materials. It will be constructed using cans and plastic containers, broken furniture, construction scraps, and other items that commonly end up in local landfills. Team members will be on hand to raffle off prizes, discuss the documentary, and encourage passersby to rethink the definition of "waste."
The booth will be on display on Saturday April 21st from 11a.m. – 6p.m. in Civic Center Park, 201 Laporte Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado. It will be part of the Sustainable Living Association's Earth Day Fair alongside food vendors, arts and crafts, speakers and live music, and various other displays and activities. Admission to the fair is free and all community members are encouraged to attend.
Booth materials and construction assistance have been donated by Eco-Thrift, a local reuse store with a mission similar to the documentary: encourage reuse and environmental care. Other partners include Savory Spice Shop, Mugs Coffee Lounge, GreenRide, Cohere and Beach House Grill, all of which have donated goods and gift certificates to be raffled off as prizes to fair attendees who visit the booth.
"Earth Day is a celebration of what we have been able to contribute to the environment and community," said Green Ride co-founder Deborah Flynn. "However, it is also a reminder that there is so much more we can do. Earth Day exists as a message to everybody that we must continually improve in order to provide for future generations."
The goal of the booth is to raise awareness about the growing problem of excess trash and introduce community members to a simple but overlooked remedy – reuse. TEDxCSU, a Colorado State University group organizing the upcoming "Growing Greener Generations" sustainability conference, is partnering with "Redefining Waste" to create and staff the booth. Along with learning about the reuse movement and the importance of recycling, booth visitors can reserve tickets to the April 23rd event.
"When we started this project, we knew it would be interesting – but that's an understatement. We met people who convert waste water into fuel, people who make musical instruments from scrap metal, and people who build homes out of used tires. There's a virtual underground of those who are changing the way we use and repurpose our resources," commented Shantel Hansen, Producer.
About "Redefining Waste":
"Redefining Waste" is an online documentary series created by Shantel Hansen and Dave Rizzotto and funded by a grant from the non-profit organization Newbury Film Series. It is an educational environmental film designed to motivate viewers to reflect on their recycling habits, consumption patterns, and relationships with waste.
The series is comprised of several 2-3 minute episodes that each provide a quick portrait of one program or person that lives or creates using waste. Locations range from Vermont to California and feature stories of individual entrepreneurs, grassroots programs, and major companies including New Belgium Brewery and Patagonia. It was launched in 2008 after Hansen and Rizzotto spent 5 months traveling the United States to gather footage. All current episodes can be viewed online at _URL_
TEDxCSU is a Colorado State University student organization planning "Growing Greener Generations", a TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) sustainability conference in Fort Collins. The all-day event will feature 12 diverse speakers presenting on various aspects of environmental care and three intermissions for entertainment, meals, and discussion. The event is hosted by eTown's Nick Forrester and headlined by Dr. Temple Grandin and former Colorado governor Bill Ritter.
This event will take place in The Lincoln Center Performance Hall, a 1,200 seat auditorium. Currently, 400 seats are reserved for Colorado State University students and the remainder are open to the public for purchase. As part of local Earth Day celebrations, a bike parade starting at the CSU campus and ending at the venue is also scheduled to take place before the event. _URL_.

You can make a lot of delicious things with mung beans, and this sweet dessert is one of them. It very delightful. And that's not all, beside that this dessert very delicious, it has a high nutrition value and very easy to make. But I guarantee you its worth to making this dessert and most of the time little children like this dessert. It's really good for them because of the nutrition value and they would like it because it's sweet to which comes from sugar syrup.
- ½ cup Mung bean (cut out waste powder, beans and nuts, and then rock out)
- ¼ cup Brown sugar.
- ½ cup White sugar (to taste the flavor).
- 4. 6 cups water.
- Separate the good beans and broken beans. Enter by bringing water mixing bowl.
- And poured into beans. Copy beans floating And the black pigment.
- Rinse beans thoroughly.
- The beans are roasted at a low heat. And the aromatic.
- Set water roasted peanut aroma and then only put in a water setting.
- When boiling water. Adjust light to low heat until beans are done cooking task a little soft.
- Add granulated sugar Season to taste with sweet sugar raise enough boiling down.
Green beans are boiled sugar suppress food expert Like to do a simple But the technique Tips & Tricks and much good if the cause is known as the menu or calf that is because I need to keep more always
- The time must be roasted with fire roasted mild or not done, the black is strictly prohibited. Because of cooking time. Bean will never soft. If cooking for a long time Maturation is not uniform.

it is possible for a field of a Natural Key to change over time it is thus imperative that no such field be part of the Primary Key Constraint in the Physical Model.
 4. Another use of the Primary Key Constraint is to enable foreign key lookups from related tables, which end is most efficiently addressed by the narrowest possible Primary Key Constraint. For this purpose Natural Keys make poor choices of Primary Key Constraint because they are usually too wide (being human reaabale) for optimal index size and height.
 5. From this I infer a corollary: that the most efficient translation to the Physical Model of a Natural Key from the Conceptual Model is usually a Uniqueness Constraint combined with a distinct and disjoint artificial Primary Key Constraint. Note that in cases (such as SSN/SIN) where the Natural Key is required to have an artificial component, it is desired to have an additional artificial Primary Key Constraint that resides wholly in the Physical Model; this because it is necessary to allow for the externally-visible artifical number to be changed and/or re-assigned. (How many knew that US SSN's are re-used some months after death?)

Assuming you're doing a many-to-many relation between Users and Targets using the UserRelations table, the first one is incorrect. You want the UserID+TargetID to be unique, or else you can end up with multiple redundant entries joining the same User and Target.
share|improve this answer
The appropriate method to associate users -> Targets is the second option that you have, as that is the method that actually enforces the referential integrity of the lookup table.
Without either a primary key, or unique across the UserId and TargetId columns, it would be possible to have duplicate entries, which most likely would cause unexpected results.
share|improve this answer
Specifically to your question: You will want a unique key on the natural multiple columns in any case. Whether you make it primary is up to you.
Adding a surrogate key is a style issue, and often required by some frameworks. If you add it, make it primary in most cases, just because that's what the frameworks expect. Functionally, as long as both are unique, it makes no difference otherwise.

Your first example is in the subjunctive mood; the second is in the indicative. The subjunctive refers to "a mood of verbs expressing what is imagined or wished or possible." That's taken directly from NOAD, and you may be interested in their usage note:
USAGE These sentences all contain a verb in the subjunctive mood;: … if I were you;: the report recommends that he face the tribunal;: it is important that they be aware of the provisions of the act. The subjunctive is used to express situations that are hypothetical or not yet realized and is typically used for what is imagined, hoped for, demanded, or expected. In English, the subjunctive mood is fairly uncommon (esp. in comparison with other languages such as French and Spanish), mainly because most of the functions of the subjunctive are covered by modal verbs such as might, could, and should. In fact, in English the subjunctive is often indistinguishable from the ordinary indicative mood since its form in most contexts is identical. It is distinctive only in the third person singular, where the normal indicative -s ending is absent ( : he face rather than : he faces in the example above), and in the verb 'to be' ( : I were rather than : I was, and : they be rather than : they are in the examples above). In modern English, the subjunctive mood still exists but is regarded in many contexts as optional. Use of the subjunctive tends to convey a more formal tone, but there are few people who would regard its absence as actually wrong. Today, it survives mostly in fixed expressions, as in : be that as it may;: far be it from me;: as it were ;: lest we forget ;: God help you;: perish the thought; and : come what may.
The takeaway from this is that you can use either; if you wish to use a formal register, the subjunctive may suit you fine. If not, there is nothing preventing you from using the indicative.

Massive issues around the environment, social change, and worldwide economies feel intractable. Where do we even begin?
"Sustainable Network" author Sarah Sorensen sees things differently. She believes solutions to our biggest problems can be found in something many of use every day: the global communications network. In the following interview, Sorensen explains how the network shapes connections and opportunities far beyond technology.
What is a sustainable network?
Sarah Sorensen: Every network can be a sustainable network because it has the ability to be a sustainable platform for change. Unlike any technology that has come before it, the network is able to permeate all parts of the globe and establish new links and relationships between people, governments and economies.
Every network is also self-sustaining. In the book I call this the "The Sustainable Network Law," which states that: the more broadband that is made available, the faster network innovation occurs, the greater the opportunity is for creating change, and the greater the need is for even more bandwidth.
Is "network" synonymous with "Internet," or are you talking about something larger?
Sarah Sorensen: When I say the "network," I'm talking about the world's global communications infrastructure, which supports connections from all types of computing devices. It:
- Establishes relationships between people, things, governments and economies.
- Provides a capacity to build and develop relationships, which perpetuates its growth. The more we use it, the more uses we find for it.
- Represents the best platform we have for sustainable progress and action.
In a broader context, the network is a part of the information and communications technology (ICT) industry, which is the full range of devices and applications that play a role in digital communication. This goes from monitors and cell phones to PCs, storage devices, and all the different applications and hardware that enable the sharing or use of information. It stretches from the smallest home office to the largest global network.
Can you point to examples of the network creating positive change?
Sarah Sorensen: The network can create a lot of connections that create positive change. Kiva.org, which connects micro-lenders with entrepreneurs, is a great example of the network providing resources that can improve the opportunities of an individual, business or community.
Also, look at the role the network plays when disaster and tragedy hit. In Haiti, after the earthquake, within minutes we saw photos and news of the devastation and calls for aid from philanthropic organizations. The network served as the main source of information, providing critical links to family and friends around the world. Of course, this is nothing new. Relief and aid organizations have been using online sites to link people to humanitarian needs for years, but the use of social media to mobilize groups is becoming more sophisticated and effective.
This is the promise and hope of the network. If it can help people band together and get involved, even in small ways, there's the opportunity to ultimately make a big difference or solve big problems.
What should be done to protect and grow the network?
Sarah Sorensen: We need to roll out broadband to as many people as possible. This not only takes real investment in the infrastructure, but also a political environment that recognizes the link between broadband and economic prosperity. Restrictive regulation could hinder the roll out, which is one reason why there is concern about the FCC's potential proposal to reclassify broadband as a Title II service.
How does the network affect individuals?
Sarah Sorensen: The potential is limitless, which is critical since we are facing some of the toughest challenges yet. Collectively, we need to make changes to our consumptive habits, adjust our resource dependencies, and create more sustainable social, economic and political models. On an individual level, we can use the network to be more efficient, reduce waste and get involved.
It will take everyone, so we all must understand it. This is where the book comes in — it strives to help people recognize the network's role in the world around them, replacing vague notions of 3G, 4G, broadband and malware with a concrete understanding of how the network is relevant to their personal, business and civic lives.
Just look at recent headlines: U.S. lags in high-speed broadband access; Google pulls out of China; Court ruling on the FCC's ability to regulate net neutrality. These highlight the broadband investments, cybersecurity risks, privacy issues, and political and ideology battles taking place right now that will affect the ability of the network to improve our lives in the future.
We need everyone to understand what's at stake and participate in the dialogue to shape the changes we want to see. We are just at the beginning — we can't even imagine the innovations to come — and it necessitates a base understanding of the network by all to ensure no one is left behind.
This interview was condensed and edited.

A shell bean is any kind of bean that is grown and harvested for the seeds rather than the pods. Green beans, for example, are not considered a shell bean because they are harvested for their pods as well as for their seeds. Black beans and garbanzo beans — which are also sometimes called chick peas — are both examples of shell beans because the pod that the seeds grow in are discarded when the legumes are harvested and the seeds themselves are saved to be used in salads, soups, stews, dips, and any other number of dishes that call for the beans.
There are many different types of shell beans. Lima beans, butter beans, broad beans, fava beans, black beans, blackeyed peas, and many others are considered shell beans. The nearly endless varieties of these legumes can be used in myriad dishes from cuisines around the world.
The term "shell bean" is often used to refer to a bean that has been freshly removed from its pod. This means that the bean has not been canned or dried. Canned beans can usually be cooked in a manner that is similar to the ways in which shell beans can be cooked. However, the fresh beans and the beans that have been stored in a can will usually have a slightly different flavor. Beans that have been dried, on the other hand, may need to be soaked for up to 24 hours before they are hydrated enough to cook with and, even after this period of rehydration, may still be a bit more "al dente" than the fresh and canned versions of the same bean.
One unusual example of the shell bean is the green soy bean as it is prepared for edamame, which is a Japanese dish. Although the seed pod is not eaten, the entire bean, including the pod and the seeds, is cooked and served intact. The green soy beans are usually boiled or steamed and then served with a sprinkling of crushed sea salt. In order to eat edamame, the seed pod is squeezed between the teeth so that the seeds pop into the mouth and then the shell is discarded. This is a kind of shell bean where the shelling is done after the legumes have been cooked instead of before, which is the most common method.


Welcome to LXB4J, a Java library and API used for light-weight XML binding.
Most Java XML binding solutions work with XSD compilers that create a large number of Java classes
implementing all the XSD types and elements.
The problem is that when working with large schemas, the overhead of managing this large number of classes might be problematic.
LXB4J tries to solve this problem and create an easy to use, lightweight, 100% pure Java binding solution.
How does it work?
LXB4J has a special compiler that reads XSD files and create binary representations of the schemas.
Later you will use this binary representation to marshall (Java -> XML) and unmarshall (XML -> Java) XML
files that were created by the schema.
Note that the original XSD file is not needed on runtime, only the binary format of this file. LXB4J will use
this binary format to make sure that all the elements and attributes are used correctly as stated in the schema.
Above that, LXB4J also has a very simple API to work with Documents and Elements, this API is written above the W3C DOM API
but is simpler and requires less code.
LXB4J is 100% pure Java and is developed over the Java 5.0 platform, so the first thing you have to make sure
is that you have with JDK 1.5!
There is only one jar to use: lxb4j-{version}.jar
Needed third party software:
General design notes
To make things really easy for developers, a BoundedElement in LXB4J can have:
 - Children - ComplexType elements (elements with child elements and / or attributes). Every child is also a BoundedElement.
 - Members - SimpleType elements (elements with _TAG_ content) or attributes.
Note that a simple typed element and an attribute are both considered members, this means that adding or reading simple elements and attributes can be achieved using the same code. LXB4J identifies the member using the schema data provided with the BoundedDocument.
The idea here is that working with simple typed element should be as easy and fast as adding attributes, and the developer should not deal with text nodes and DOM methods for that.
See usage examples on the Short manual page and sample directory provided with the release.

This paper answers the question—can citizens be shamed in a manner that is morally justifiable—by forwarding a theory of just shaming. Shaming has a divisive history in political theory. The volumes of work on both sides seems to point at a moral dilemma: shame looks to be a helpful social practice, yet it engenders unignorable negative consequences. In this paper, however, I argue that shaming in politics must be analyzed more in terms of when and how shaming is morally permissible. Shaming, employed in moments of citizen vice only, has to potential to reform citizen conduct. Furthermore, approaching shaming as more of a dialogue than a punishment can make citizens more amenable to change. Like with "just war" and other non-ideal theories, this paper accepts that politics may permit practices that are normally considered immoral—like shaming—in the pursuit of justice. From here, Eric Beerbohm's citizen ethics and Iris Marion Young's "five faces" typology help construct the norm that just shaming will utilize: citizen excellence, or the combatting social oppression actively. Employing this norm, I establish two sets of questions (inspired by just war theory) that will constitute the framework of just shaming. The first, jus ad shaming, asks under what circumstances can citizens be shamed. The second, jus in shaming, asks how someone must act when shaming citizens. From these questions, I construct three conditions—the complicity, activation, and mesomensch conditions—and two guidelines—intent and reciprocity—that delineate how just shaming must be conducted.

Microbiological characterization of gut symbiotic bacteria in a limited number of stinkbugs of the families Acanthosomatidae, Plataspidae, Pentatomidae, Scutelleridae, Parastrachiidae, Alydidae and Pyrrhocoridae has shown symbiotic association with midgut bacteria to be common in phytophagous taxa of these heteropteran insects. Here we investigated the midgut bacterial symbiont of Eucorysses grandis, a stinkbug of the family Scutelleridae. A specific gammaproteobacterium was consistently identified in insects from five different geographic origins. The bacterium was detected in 64 of 64 insects sampled from three host populations. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the bacterium constitutes a distinct lineage in the Gammaproteobacteria, neither closely related to the gut symbiont of another scutellerid stinkbug, Cantao ocellatus, nor to gut symbionts of other stinkbugs. Diagnostic PCR, in situ hybridization and electron microscopy demonstrated that the bacterium is located extracelluarly, in the midgut fourth section, which possesses crypts. These results indicate that the primary gut symbionts have multiple evolutionary origins in the Scutelleridae. A Sodalis-allied facultative symbiont was also identified in some insects from natural populations. Biological aspects of the primary gut symbiont and the secondary Sodalis-allied symbiont are discussed.

We are using the MK22DX256VMC5, with external crystal + internal PLL as shown below. Our question is how to select the tolerance of the crystal?
for example, we select the 8MHz external crystal, whose freq tolerance is 100ppm, and the main clock is 48MHz using PLL. When we use UART(115200Hz, 1 start, 1 stop, 8 data, no parity, totally 10 bits), how previous mentioned 8MHz crystal 100ppm tolerance will affect the UART communication?
Is the crystal tolerance OK?
How to calculate the tolerance at the UART viewpoint? ( tolerance of crystal -> OSCSEL -> PLL -> PLLS? -> MCGOUTCLK? -> OUTDIV? -> System clock? -> UART error)


We can view and change these
 properties in the Properties pane  displayed in
 the lower left of the editor. Its purpose is to list
 those properties that are associated with the object currently selected in the Project Explorer. In
 the example here, Sheet1 has been selected in the
 Project Explorer, and therefore, the properties
 associated with this object are displayed in the
 Properties window.
The VBA Editor
 The VBA editor window is used to create and edit VBA program files. To
 create a VBA program, follow these steps:
 1 Select Tools>Macro>Macros
 to invoke the Macro dialog box
 as shown in Figure 3.3.
 2 Type in a meaningful macro
 name, such as: UpdateSales and
 click the Create button. You will
 see the VBE screen appear as
 shown in Figure 3.4.
 Figure 3.3 The Macro dialog box
 Note that the larger pane on the right-hand side appear in the VBE. This is
 almost blank  apart from the inclusion of the Sub UpdateSales() and End
 Sub. This is the Editor window, and each window that is used is known as
 a module. A module is used to store the VBA program code.
 Now type in the rest of the source code as shown in Listing 3.1. Be careful
 when entering the first two lines below the Sub UpdateSales(): these are
 comment lines  text preceded by an apostrophe. Comments are ignored by
 the VBA program and are intended to help the programmer understand the
 code. They are coloured green in the VBA editor. You are free to insert as
 many comments as is required. Some tips for using comments in programs
 are given in the section on programming style (page 50).
 Begin and end sub
 procedure statements
 Module 1 selected

Properties pane with
Module 1 selected
 Take note
 Figure 3.4 The VBE screen showing a
 new module and the program template The terms macro, procedure, sub
 VBA program and VBA code are
 used synonymously in practice.

 6 Range("End_month_sales").Copy
 7 Range("sales_to_date").PasteSpecial xlValues
 8 Range("Week_sales").ClearContents
 9 Range ("month_no") = Range ("month_no") + 1
 10 ActiveSheet.Protect
 11 End Sub
 This is a similar example to the recorded Excel macro updateSalesRep in
 Chapter 2. The purpose of the example is to copy the range end_month_sales
 and paste the values into the range sales_to_date. The week_sales range that
 contains the week sales data during the month will then be cleared ready to
 receive the data for the next month. Unlike the recorded version, we will also
 alter the cell named month_no, so that it will be increased by 1 at the end of
 each month.
 The window that contains the code is called a module. A module is a separate
 file that contains a collection of one or more macros. You can store each
 macro in a separate module or save them all in the same one. As a general
 rule, it is advisable to store related macros in the same module. For example,
 if you have a number of calculation macros in your workbook, then they
 should be stored in the same module. This should make the macro easier to
 Take note
 In the Visual Basic Editor, the words Sub and End Sub are displayed in dark blue. These
 are key words, reserved by VBA as system commands. The update sales() part appears in
 black. VBA uses different colours for different types of statements. Statements, which
 contain syntax errors  lines that are grammatically incorrect  will appear in red.
 find when required for editing. The macros in the module are available
 throughout the application.
 You can also see that the beginning of the procedure named UpdateSales.
 Line 2 is a comment line. A comment begins with the  symbol, or Rem (short
 for remark) and does not cause VBA to perform any action when the
 program is run. They are used to document programs and improve readability.
 Line 3 is a blank line, inserted to enhance program readability (i.e. by
 separating the comments from the rest of the program statements). Its vital
 to learn to use proper program documentation style from the beginning.
 Line 4 is the first command in the VBA program. It sets the active sheet to
 weeklysales, so that the correct sheet is manipulated by the macro.
 The statement in line 5 will unprotect the worksheet so that changes can be
 made to it.
 The statement in line 6 will copy the range end_month_sales into the
 The statement in line 7 will then paste this range, by values, from the
 Clipboard to the range sales_to_date.
 The statement in line 8 will clear the contents of the cell range week_sales.
 The statement in line 9 will increment the contents of the month_no range.
 The statement in line 10 will protect the sheet from inadvertent changes.
 The statement in line 11 will end the program.
Take note
A macro is also known as a procedure. There are two types of procedures available in VBA. They are:
sub procedures and function procedures. Function procedures will be studied in Chapter 9. Every sub
procedure written in VBA must begin with a Sub keyword followed by the name of the procedure and
opening and closing parenthesis as shown in Listing 3.1, Line 1. Every sub procedure must end with
an End Sub statement (see Listing 3.1 Line 11).
Structured English pseudocode
 Structured English is an informal language that helps the programmer to
 think out the actual program steps before actually writing in a formal
 programming language such as VBA. Structured English is similar to
 everyday English and therefore is a useful step before translation to VBA
 code. It is not a programming language and its purpose is to aid code writing.
 This means that you dont need to be precise with structured English because
 it is not proper computer code. Also, include executable statements only
 when writing in structured English. The previous program that updates
 monthly sales is written in structured English as shown in Listing 3.2.
Listing 3.2 Structured English version of Listing 3.1
 Unprotect the Weekly Sales sheet
 Select and Copy the End_month_sales range
 Select the sales_to_date range and
 Paste in the Value of the copied cells
 Clear the Contents of the Week_sales range
 Increment month_no
 Protect the Weekly Sales sheet
 End pseudocode
Programming style
 Many students who are new to computer programming assume that getting
 the program to work correctly is all that matters! However, even when a
 program is working correctly, changes to the program might be necessary in
 the future. Research has shown that program maintenance accounts for over
 67per cent of software development time. There are many reasons why
 maintenance becomes necessary. For example, it may be necessary to make
 changes to the functionality of a program, or perhaps the organisation that
 the program was written for has changed their procedures in some way.
 Improving the layout and readability of the program will make maintenance
 easier. Both can be achieved by following these style guidelines:
 M Ensure that VBA program code contains enough comments. Comments
 should typically be placed at the start of a VBA program, such as details that
 include the date the program was written, the program version number, the
 name of the programmer, and any other things that might help with
 understanding the code. Other comments might be included to the right of
 a VBA statement. It is also good programming practice to leave some spaces
 before in-line comments begin to improve readability.
 M Use blank lines to separate distinct sections in a program to enhance the
 readability of the code. For example, the blank line in line 3 of Listing 3.1
 separates the comments from the beginning of the main body of code.
 M Indent VBA program statements inside the body of the macro name and any
 other VBA statement blocks. It is recommended that the number of characters for indentation be no less than three spaces. Indenting is not essential.
 Your programs will work without it, but it does make it easier to identify
 errors. Note that it is better to use the Tab key on the keyboard for indenting
 lines; otherwise if you use the Space Bar you will

I. Introduction: Designer Discrimination Algorithms
A significant problem in developing a revolutionary new theory is the parallel development of methods and technologies appropriate to testing the theory. As I have said a number of times in response to criticisms of Multiple Designers Theory, the absolutely necessary first step in the MDT research program must be the development and validation of designer discrimination methodologies. In the Introduction to Multiple Designers Theory above I saidthat in developing a design discrimination methodology, MDT has the same task as mainstream ID. First the methodology must be systematized and formalized. Then it must be empirically validated on test materials for which we already know the histories. The first task of MDT is to develop a formalized researcher-independent methodology that, when it is eventually applied to phenomena whose provenance and history we do not know, it can be legitimately expected to reliably tell us something of interest about the phenomena. Mainstream intelligent design has so far avoided that task: there are no validation data at all on its principal design detection methods. MDT, however, has begun the task of validation and calibration of its methodologies.

Here at Holistic Wellness we believe in always adding in a variety of foods and switching things up on a regular basis! So, I was shopping the other day and was looking for a new superfood to try out… something packed with a ton of nutritional benefits and easy enough to throw into my morning smoothie.
I came across this superfruit called Baobab. A bit of a funny name, but besides the funny name I thought I'd do a bit of research on this African super fruit.
I have travelled to Africa and have a special place in my heart for this divine country! I soon learned the Baobab is one of Africa's most recognizable trees and this is where the baobab fruit grows. These trees are around 200-500 years old (some even reported of being 1000 years old!) and are often referred to as the "Ancient Tree of Life."
From my research, I discovered 7 health benefits of this magical little fruit:
 1. 6 times more potassium than a banana.
 2. One of the highest antioxidant levels than any fruit in the worldmore than goji berries!
 3. Source of prebiotics promoting growth of healthy bacteria in the gut.
 4. Contains 14 essential vitamins and minerals.
 5. High in Vitamin C, Magnesium, Manganese, B1, B2, B3, B6, Iron and amino acids.
 6. Excellent source of dietary fibre.
 7. Contains twice as much calcium as milk.
Not sure how to use this superfruit?
I bought it as an organic fruit pulp powder. This makes it super easy to add into smoothies, juices, salads, dressings, yogurts, ice cream or cereal. Sprinkle it in and voila, this superfruit will help protect against free-radical damage, boost the immune system, balance mood, increase energy, stress and help achieve healthy glowing skin. The powder also has a lovely sweet flavor to it, which makes a great addition to any of your smoothies, juices or dressings.
A few questions to consider when purchasing the Baobab fruit pulp powder:
- Is it certified organic?
- Is it certified fair trade?
- Has it been heated or sprayed during the drying process?
- Has it been dehydrated naturally?
- Is there any added ingredients (especially sugar!)?
- Are there any fillers added?
- Is it packaged in its most purest and raw form?
- Has it been sustainably harvested?
- Has it been ethically produced?
Superfoods are packed with super high nutritional content, and adding several superfoods into your diet can contribute in improving your overall health and wellness.
Now, go get your superfruit on!

Scripture Reference – Luke 8:51
People do a lot of social activities during the holiday season. There are so many opportunities to fellowship with others. In addition to fellowshipping with others, social fitness is also about setting and maintaining boundaries. Boundaries are important in any relationship such as marriage, family, friendship, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, church members, etc. Boundaries let us know exactly where we stand in each relationship as well as what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in various social settings.
Jarius, a ruler of the Jews, came to Jesus Christ requesting him to heal his daughter. Jesus Christ went to Jarius' house and set boundaries so that the healing could take place. He put people out of the house. Only her parents and certain disciples were able to be in the operating room. The parents held the original idea of their daughters' perfection. Each of the disciples present represented a particular spiritual faculty that was a necessary part of the healing process: Peter (faith), James (order), John (love).
Consciousness is our awareness of God and the good in each situation. Each person has an individual consciousness and each group has a collective consciousness. Jesus Christ desired for the collective consciousness of the group to be one of healing. Any individual who did not hold the vision of the young lady's wholeness had to leave the room. Only those who were on one accord with the Christ consciousness could stay in the room.
Jesus Christ manifested social fitness by setting boundaries in the house. He was not afraid to say who could stay and who had to go. Like Jesus Christ, it is important for us to know when to put people out of the room of our lives. Releasing people and letting them go is essential to our success at being socially fit. Some people are not able to be with us in certain places or at certain times due to their consciousness.

When someone is hurt in an accident, and they already suffer from physical problems, then the first thing that an experienced Florida personal injury attorney expects to hear from the defendant's insurance carrier is that the defendant isn't liable for the injuries because the injury relates to a "preexisting condition."
While some may believe that is a logical response, that position isn't always correct; in fact, there are times when a pre-existing condition or injury creates INCREASED liability for a defendant in a car crash or fall. How? In Florida, it is longstanding law that a defendant can be held legally liable for a victims overall condition if the victim has suffered an aggravation of a pre-existing condition. See, Atlantic Coast Line R. Co. v. Dees, 56 Fla. 127, 48 So. 28 (1908).
This protection of injured victims has been reaffirmed several times over the years. See, e.g., Hamblen, Inc. v. Owens, 127 Fla. 91, 172 So. 694 (1937), and Wise v. Carter, 119 So.2d 40 (Fla.App. 1960).
In other words, if a car crash or slip and fall made a pre-existing condition worse (or permanent), then the person who is responsible for the latest crash or fall will be held liable for making the condition worse as well as any direct damages (like a broken foot or ankle injury, for instance) that happened in the latest accident. As the Florida Supreme Court provides in its Standard Jury Instructions to be used by trial judges when they instruct Florida juries on the law:
"If you find that the defendant[s] caused a bodily injury, and that the injury resulted in [an aggravation of an existing disease or physical defect] [or] [activation of a latent disease or physical defect], you should attempt to determine what portion of (claimant's) condition resulted from the [aggravation] [or] [activation]. If you can make that determination, then you should award only those damages resulting from the [aggravation] [or] [activation]. However, if you cannot make that determination, or if it cannot be said that the condition would have existed apart from the injury, then you should award damages for the entire condition suffered by (claimant)."
If a car crash or slip and fall made a pre-existing condition worse, the person responsible for the latest crash or fall will be held liable.
Is a Defendants Liable for Parkinson's Disease Exacerbated By a Car Accident?
In the case of Hollie v. Radcliffe, 200 So. 2d 616 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1967), there was a car crash at an Escambia County intersection where Roberta Brown's car, driven by Willie Charles Hollie, collided with the car owned by James Radcliffe, which he was driving as his wife, Frances, sat beside him in the front seat.
Settlement of the Radcliffes' resulting injury claim could not be reached, so a personal injury lawsuit was filed. The case went all the way to a jury verdict with the Radcliffes' prevailing. After which, the defendants filed an appeal, which they lost.
No one disputed that Mr. Hollie was at fault in the wreck. He admitted to running the stop sign, slamming into the driver's side of the Radcliffe car.
The big controversy here involved damages, particularly the "preexisting condition" defense asserted by Ms. Brown and Mr. Hollie against James Radcliffe.
In this case, the plaintiff's "preexisting condition" was James Radcliffe's Parkinson's Disease, a disease he had suffered from for years. His right hand been shaking for four years before the crash, which his doctor had diagnosed as a "Parkinsonian tremor." Almost a year before the accident, Mr. Radcliffe had been forced from his job as a railway company clerk, taking an indefinite leave of absence, because his hand was shaking so badly that he couldn't write.
After taking his leave of absence, Mr. Radcliffe was receiving regular medical care with a goal of getting better and returning to his job. Things were looking good: the month of the wreck, he was much improved. So much so, his doctor believed he would be ready to be tested by the company doctors in the next two weeks (the step required before going back to work).
Then the car accident happened. When his treating physician saw him a couple of days after the car accident, Mr. Radcliffe was in bad shape. He was "considerably upset" as he was "shaking much more than he had previously," according to the doctor.
What Did The Court Say About The Aggravation of a Pre-Existing Condition?
After the jury rendered its verdict, the reviewing court (appellate court) determined that because the car accident aggravated the Parkinson's disease of James Radcliffe, even though he had suffered from it long before the crash itself, those responsible for the automobile accident could be held legally responsible for his entire condition (and his need to take an indefinite leave of absence from work).
What Should You Do?
A good piece of advice if you or a loved one have been involved in an accident and your pre-existing condition has been aggravated, is to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer before you file a claim to learn about some of the issues that can arise with these claims, including the type of evidence needed to prove a claim and the type and amount of damages you can recover. Most personal injury lawyers, like Alan Sackrin, will offer a free initial consultation (over the phone or in person) to answer your questions.

PURPOSE The learning health care system (LHS) was designed to enable real-time learning and research by harnessing data generated during patients' clinical encounters. This novel approach begets ethical questions regarding the oversight of users and uses of patient data. Understanding patients' perspectives is vitally important. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted democratic deliberation sessions focused on CancerLinQ, a real-world LHS. Experts presented educational content, and then small group discussions were held to elicit viewpoints. The deliberations centered around whether policies should permit or deny certain users and uses of secondary data. De-identified transcripts of the discussions were examined by using thematic analysis. RESULTS Analysis identified two thematic clusters: expectations and concerns, which seemed to inform LHS governance recommendations. Participants expected to benefit from the LHS through the advancement of medical knowledge, which they hoped would improve treatments and the quality of their care. They were concerned that profit-driven users might manipulate the data in ways that could burden or exploit patients, hinder medical decisions, or compromise patient-provider communication. It was recommended that restricted access, user fees, and penalties should be imposed to prevent users, especially for-profit entities, from misusing data. Another suggestion was that patients should be notified of potential ethical issues and included on diverse, unbiased governing boards. CONCLUSION If patients are to trust and support LHS endeavors, their concerns about for-profit users must be addressed. The ethical implementation of such systems should consist of patient representation on governing boards, transparency, and strict oversight of for-profit users.

How to Stop Voice From Changing When Nervous
Nervousness can have a negative impact on how you speak
Image Credit: BakiBG/iStock/Getty Images
If you are nervous when you are speaking, that can cause a noticeable change in your voice tone. A shaky voice conveying nerves can be a big issue, whether you are making a public speech or having an important one-on-one conversation. Conveying nervousness in your voice tone or body language can reduce your chances of success in anything from a job interview to a date.
Step 1
Convey confidence when you speak. Rather than concentrating on not messing up, aim to project confidence and authority in your voice tone. This makes you seem more knowledgeable and lends more weight to the points you are making. Motivational speaker and communication specialist Rachel Green cites voice volume as a major factor in confident communication. Green says that confident communication is easy to hear, but quiet speech can convey nervousness.
Step 2
Put energy and effort into your diction and pronunciation when speaking. A common sign of nervousness is when your words fade away or sound mumbled at the end of a sentence. Common sounds that can waver when you are nervous include the sounds of the letters T, D and K. Practice repeating a phrase like "bake the cake," emphasizing clarity at the start and end of each word.
Step 3
Practice your speech. Tape record yourself giving the speech, them listen for for clarity in your voice and identify where certain words or letters convey nervousness. Continue to practice and to gain confidence as you improve.
Step 4
Use body language and posture to display confidence. According to the Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, research shows that when you communicate with others, words convey only 7 percent of your feelings, while body language conveys 55 percent. Slumped shoulders and slouched posture can convey nervousness when you are speaking. Practice speaking into a mirror or have a friend watch you speak, then note if you convey nervousness with any posture or twitching motions. Practice repeatedly, and gain confidence from improvements you see.

All our animals share the grazing at some time or another. Sheep, cattle and horses, geese too, hens and ducks.
Sheep will eat the bits horses won't, cattle and sheep will eat the worm eggs and larvea that affect horses but don't affect them, thus making the worm burden on the pasture less. Horses eat the cattle and sheep larvae. There is one type of worm that affects sheep, cattle and horses but it is killed by most wormers.
Mixed graxing is a good idea, but don't stock sheep too highly or the poor horse won't get a look in at the grass! Sheep are good at grazing young ragwort down, they can tollerate young leaves and will eat it and it won't get a chance to go to seed.
As for re planting sheep grazed grass, now way, otherwise the whole of Shetland would have to be re planted every year!

text: Abstract : We study experimentally different situations of impact of solids onto liquids. We first study the impact at large velocity of a solid sphere in a liquid bath. We observe the sphere's deceleration. We deduce from these laws the force exerted on the sphere by the fluid, and show that a highly sheared foam behaves like a viscous fluid. Such violent impacts also cause air entrapment. We describe the shape of the cavity created in the liquid : tunnel-like in foam, vase-shaped in a viscous oil, it can look like a spiral in water if the projectile is spinning. We then focus on low-velocity impacts on liquid films : soap films or viscous layers spread on solid surfaces. Capillary forces are comparable to the projectiles' inertia. We show that a bead hitting a film can be stucked in the liquid. A foam, containing a large number of such liquid films, can then slow down and trap particles by capillarity.

| | Re: Is present participle a reduced present progressive or simple present clause?
A. The present participle can be part of a reduced relative clause - ie one where the relative pronoun and the verb BE have been omitted from a defining relative clause with the relative pronoun acting as subject :
i) I talked to the person (who was) dealing with the problem
ii) I hope we'll meet the deadline (which is) coming up.
This covers your example 2d: Nilson is the one (who is) sitting next to Yorky
B. The present participle is used after verbs of perception like see/hear/feel etc to express an on-going activity in contrast to a short activity, which is expressed with an infinitive. Compare:
i) I heard music playing in the background
ii) I heard the bomb explode.
In (i) it could of course be seen as a reduced relative clause - this covers your examples 1a and 2c, which use the verb see (NB it would be more usual to say I can see...). But that explanation doesn't explain the contrast with the use of the infinitive, and the use is restricted to verbs of perception.
C. Your example 3f is not possible. It meets neither of the criteria above: The original relative clause does not contain the verb BE (the girl who has... not *the girl who is having...) and the participle does not follow a verb of perception. The present participle cannot be used here and the sentence is ungrammatical.
I hope that answers your question.

Development and assessment of a hand assist device: GRIPIT
Although various hand assist devices have been commercialized for people with paralysis, they are somewhat limited in terms of tool fixation and device attachment method. Hand exoskeleton robots allow users to grasp a wider range of tools but are heavy, complicated, and bulky owing to the presence of numerous actuators and controllers. The GRIPIT hand assist device overcomes the limitations of both conventional devices and exoskeleton robots by providing improved tool fixation and device attachment in a lightweight and compact device. GRIPIT has been designed to assist tripod grasp for people with spinal cord injury because this grasp posture is frequently used in school and offices for such activities as writing and grasping small objects.
The main development objective of GRIPIT is to assist users to grasp tools with their own hand using a lightweight, compact assistive device that is manually operated via a single wire. GRIPIT consists of only a glove, a wire, and a small structure that maintains tendon tension to permit a stable grasp. The tendon routing points are designed to apply force to the thumb, index finger, and middle finger to form a tripod grasp. A tension-maintenance structure sustains the grasp posture with appropriate tension. Following device development, four people with spinal cord injury were recruited to verify the writing performance of GRIPIT compared to the performance of a conventional penholder and handwriting. Writing was chosen as the assessment task because it requires a tripod grasp, which is one of the main performance objectives of GRIPIT.
New assessment, which includes six different writing tasks, was devised to measure writing ability from various viewpoints including both qualitative and quantitative methods, while most conventional assessments include only qualitative methods or simple time measuring assessments. Appearance, portability, difficulty of wearing, difficulty of grasping the subject, writing sensation, fatigability, and legibility were measured to assess qualitative performance while writing various words and sentences. Results showed that GRIPIT is relatively complicated to wear and use compared to a conventional assist device but has advantages for writing sensation, fatigability, and legibility because it affords sufficient grasp force during writing. Two quantitative performance factors were assessed, accuracy of writing and solidity of writing. To assess accuracy of writing, we asked subjects to draw various figures under given conditions. To assess solidity of writing, pen tip force and the angle variation of the pen were measured. Quantitative evaluation results showed that GRIPIT helps users to write accurately without pen shakes even high force is applied on the pen.
Qualitative and quantitative results were better when subjects used GRIPIT than when they used the conventional penholder, mainly because GRIPIT allowed them to exert a higher grasp force. Grasp force is important because disabled people cannot control their fingers and thus need to move their entire arm to write, while non-disabled people only need to move their fingers to write. The tension-maintenance structure developed for GRIPIT provides appropriate grasp force and moment balance on the user's hand, but the other writing method only fixes the pen using friction force or requires the user's arm to generate a grasp force.
The hand is one of the most essential body parts for independent living because so many tasks of daily life, such as writing, eating, and grasping, require a functional hand. People who suffer from permanent paralysis of the hand owing to cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke, and other neurological disorders require assistive or rehabilitation devices in order to regain independence and return to work [1, 2].
A selection of commercialized hand assist devices is shown in Fig. 1. These devices are attached to the user's arm or hand with Velcro® or elastic bands, and hand tools such as pens, forks, and paintbrushes are clamped into a hole in the devices. One drawback of these devices is that they can only grasp one type of tool because the receiving hole is a constant size. Users also must sometimes sustain an awkward posture to use a tool because it is mounted into the device in an unfamiliar position. Additionally, the Velcro or elastic band used to fix the device can apply high pressure to the skin if the strapping is too tight, and tools can be too shaky to use if the strapping becomes too loose. These problems reduce the usability of these devices and require users to put in a certain of amount of training time to become familiar with their use.
Fig. 1
Various types of hand assist devices for people with hand paralysis. a Writing aid. b Eating aid. c Grasping aid. d Cooking aid
Hand exoskeletons, or wearable robots for the hand, have been developed to change the hand's posture to facilitate tool use, instead of just strapping a tool to the hand. These exoskeletons do not have the disadvantages of conventional hand assist devices because they assist users to grasp tools by helping them to put their hand into a grasp posture. Hand exoskeletons can be classified in two ways, as robots employing rigid materials and robots employing flexible materials. Rigid exoskeletons use hard transmission such as linkages or gears and have the advantage of precise control due to the ease of implementing accurate model. However, rigid exoskeletons require joint alignment between the finger and the robot, making the wearing part bulky and heavy. For this reason, hard exoskeletons are mostly used for rehabilitation purposes [36]. Soft exoskeletons, on the other hand, have the advantage of simplifying the wearing part because they are easily locate actuator parts remotely that are separated from the worn portion. Most soft exoskeletons are used for assistance or home rehabilitation purposes because of said advantages [710].
In this paper we propose a soft wearable assistive device, GRIPIT, which enables people with spinal cord injuries, SCI, to attain one type of grasp via manual operation. By giving up assistance for various postures and tasks, GRIPIT has been able to reduce its complexity, weight, and volume compared to existing exoskeleton designs. GRIPIT was designed to operate manually, minimizing weight and volume by excluding controllers and actuators. Using a single wire to manually actuate the device reduces the difficulty of manual operation. GRIPIT, provides sufficient grasp stability compared to conventional assist devices because it helps the user grasp objects by applying forces through wire actuation. Developed using previously listed design goals, GRIPIT has a total weight of approximately 40 g and consists of a glove and a small circular structure with 30 mm diameter and 20 mm height [11].
We selected a tripod grasp as the posture that GRIPIT will assist because this grasp is frequently used in school and offices for such activities as writing and grasping small objects [12]. We focused on building an assist device for use in a school or office environment because the second most common age range for SCI is 15 to 29 years old, a time of life when many people are in school or building a career. Hand paralysis for people in this age range means an unavoidable change of occupation or serious problems with finishing their education [13, 14].
Four people with SCI were recruited to measure writing performance using GRIPIT, a conventional assist penholder (shown in Fig. 1a), and their own hand without any devices, because assisting writing is one of the major objectives of GRIPIT. The conventional penholder used in this experiment is the most frequently used device for this task. The device fixes the pen with a hole and is attached to the body with Velcro. We assessed the qualitative performance factors of appearance, portability, difficulty of use, writing sensation, fatigability, and legibility and the quantitative performance factors of writing accuracy and solidity of grasp.
Design approach: A glove assistance device using an underactuated tendon-driven system
The main development objective of GRIPIT is to assist users to make a stable tripod grasp posture with a mechanism that is compact, lightweight, and simple. Tripod grasp provides sufficient force with three fingers and moment balance with force applied by radial side of hand while other writing aids only provide friction force to fix the pen. The device uses an underactuated tendon-driven mechanism as its transmission method and a glove as the main frame of the device.
Tripod grasp is a precision grasp for compact objects that uses three fingers, according to the Cutkosky grasp taxonomy [15, 16]. The three fingers should be gathered into a single point, and the forces applied to an object should be well distributed for a stable grasp. The grasp can fail when the three fingers fail to gather or when one finger applies higher contact force to the object than the others. [17, 18].
The device uses a tendon-driven mechanism to form the fingers into a tripod grasp because of its compactness and light weight among various transmission mechanisms [19]. The underactuation mechanism, which is widely used in robotic hands and wearable hand robots to increase adaptability, is applied to the tendon-driven mechanism to gather the fingers into a single point and to distribute contact forces adaptably without complicated controlling of numerous DOF [9, 20, 21]. The tendon routing points were designed to create the proper posture with simple actuation, and a tension-maintenance structure keeps the grasp stable.
We chose to use a glove as the main frame of the device on which to fix the positions of the tendon routing points for the following reasons. The main frame should be closely attached to the user's hand to increase the solidity of grasp; a glove readily permits this close attachment. In addition, the frame should not be loose or slip from the users hand for high solidity; these problems do not occur when the glove fits the user's hand. SCI patients can easily fit their hand in glove due to hand size. Since muscle loss is a symptom of SCI, users hands have less

Aliens at Prayer: Representing Jewish Life in the East End of London, c.1905
Shaw, Samuel (2018). Aliens at Prayer: Representing Jewish Life in the East End of London, c.1905. In: Shaw, Samuel; Shaw, Sarah and Carle, Naomi eds. Edwardian Culture: Beyond the Garden Party. Among the Victorians and Modernists. London: Routledge, pp. 133–153.
The Edwardian Era has recently been described as a 'turbulent period' in the representation of Anglo-Jewish experience. Anxiety over the influence of Jewish businessmen, and the ever-expanding tides of Jewish immigration into the East End of London, ensured that the status of the British Jew was regularly under the spotlight. There were two major outcomes of this public debate: the growth of the British Zionist movement, supported by Joseph Chamberlain, and the 1905 Aliens Act, the first antiimmigration law to go through British parliament.
In the midst of these developments, two Anglo-Jewish artists, Alfred Wolmark and William Rothenstein, embarked upon a series of paintings in the Jewish East End. The artists came from very different backgrounds: Rothenstein was born into a wealthy, liberal German-Jewish family in Bradford, whilst Wolmark was Polish by birth, moving to London in the late 1880s. Whilst Jewish subjects were a common feature of Wolmark's early career, they only entered Rothenstein's oeuvre for a brief period in the 1900s. Both artists, however, painted more Jewish subjects around 1905 than at any other point in their lives. This chapter questions why this was, and what part their paintings played in the wider debate surrounding Jewish immigration, assimilation and Zionism. It explores the complex Jewish identities of the two artists, and the ways that this played out in their art works.

Muscat de Mireval is a lesser known wine and the is smallest sweet wine appellation in the south of France. These vineyards are located on the slopes of the Massif de la Gardiole, at the edge of the Vic La Gardiole lagoon close to the community of Mireval. The soils were formed during the Jurassic period and have a high content of limestone fragments. The chalky Jurassic soil with its ancient alluvial deposits and rounded stones is protected from the weather by the 230 metre-high mountain and is influenced by the nearby Mediterranean sea.
The wine is made with the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grape which was recommended as an elixir for life under the Roman Empire and by doctors during the Renaissance. This source of well-being was even recognised by the Tax Office under the old regime, as Languedoc Muscats were exempt from taxes as they were considered "medicinal". The famous French Renaissance writer, doctor and humanist Rabelais was a great admirer of Mireval wines.

A Guide for Fire Fighters and Rescue Personnel
Africanized honey bees (AHB) are spreading in Texas. Their attacks can be a lifethreatening emergency. Fortunately, rescue personnel can help people under attack by using (with slight modification) equipment and materials common on fire trucks, ambulances and hazardous materials response vehicles.
This guide can also be used to protect people from swarms of wasps and domestic honey bees, which to the naked eye are indistinguishable from the AHB.
Conventional heavy turnout gear worn by most fire fighters protects all areas of the body except the head and neck. Consequently, veils are essential, but they must be adapted to the headgear worn. Bee veils are available from beekeeping supply houses. Mosquito veils can be obtained from military surplus and sporting goods stores. Seal the veil at top and bottom with string or duct tape. Tape should also be used around the waist, wrists and ankles, and to close any other gaps. Leather areas of turnout gear, such as gloves, may antagonize the bees. Plastic or rubber gloves are best.
Disposable hazardous materials suits, such as those made of Chemrel R, Saranex R or Tyvek R, provide good protection, especially if worn over street clothing or uniforms.
Reflective aluminum suits work but may limit movement, and veils and duct tape are needed.
Bees are easily immobilized and killed by wetting agents (surfactants) - including commercial liquid dishwashing detergent. Nonfoaming fire control chemicals and fire fighting foams with surfactant characteristics such as the aqueous film-foams (AFFF) also work.
Not all commercially available products have been tested, but most such wetting agents should be equally effective. Chemicals tested so far include: original Palmolive dishwashing liquid, 9-55 R fire control chemical, Silv-ex R foam concentrate and FC-600 Light Water brand ATC/AFFF. All had a light but distinctive odor. A one percent solution was sufficient to immediately immobilize honey bees and apparently kill them within 60 seconds.
If there is doubt whether a particular chemical will work, rescue personnel should enlist the aid of a local beekeeper. Clearly, human and animal safety must be the most important consideration. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has conditionally approved detergents for use against AHB¹s.
After arriving at a site, rescue personnel first should assess the situation from within their vehicles. Then they should retreat several hundred yards, put on protective clothing and move any onlookers to a safe distance.
Each situation is unique, but to rescue a victim, two things must be done as quickly as possible: establish an adequate insect barrier, and neutralize the insects¹ alarm odor - which consists of chemical components of venom that enable more bees to find and attack the victim.
Fire and rescue units responding with standard fire fighting equipment can quickly accomplish both objectives by using water plus a non-toxic wetting agent.
Using standard fire fighting procedures, set up a line with an educator capable of delivering a one to three percent spray of one of the foaming/wetting agents and a nozzle capable of delivering a wide fan patter. A light initial application to the victim will stop the attack by most of the insects on or near the victim within 60 seconds. These insects, unable to fly, will begin to suffocate and can be quickly brushed aside.
If an obvious line of insect flight can be determined, a vertical wall of spray 20 to 30 feet in the air should intercept further flight activity. Or, the nozzle can be inverted near the victim to provide a curtain of safety.
Rescuers wearing proper protective gear then can carry a victim into a house, van or ambulance for treatment and transport. Many bees, however, will follow to continue their attack.
In a house, vacuum up bees attracted to windows by light. In a rescue vehicle, drive away and then roll down the windows and chase the insects out.
Once the victim is protected, remove stings as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the white, translucent, venom sac - with its nerves and muscles attached - will continue to pump venom into the wound for a minute or more. Removing the victim¹s outer layer of garments may help because stings embedded through the fabric will be dislodged in the process.
The best way to remove stings is to simply scrape them away with a fingernail, credit card or similar instrument. Never pinch, tweeze or otherwise attempt to pull stings out, as this will simply inject the remaining contents of the venom sacs.
After sting victims have been cared for, rescuers should launder the bees¹ alarm-odor chemical from suits, veils and equipment.
Fire and rescue personnel should familiarize themselves with normal activities of stinging social insects in their area. Local bee experts or beekeepers can provide extremely valuable advice and assistance, particularly when unusual situations arise. All states have active beekeeper organizations, as do many local communities, and they usually welcome requests for assistance.
Most beekeeper groups would welcome an invitation to help develop training exercises, where bees would be used to simulate an actual attack and allow rescuers an a opportunity to practice their skills.

To Jump or Not to Jump?
When riders maintain their body alignment, their cadence, and their balance point, Jumps are beneficial to both muscular endurance and cardiovascular development. Excessive joint stress can be avoided by the consistency and fluidity of the movement and by avoiding overly high cadences or uncontrolled forward momentum when performing the movement.
How to Perform a Proper Jump
A Jump is a flat road movement, which means the guideline parameters are 80–110 RPM with light to moderate resistance. The cadence guideline is helpful with this movement, but not nearly as much as the basic understanding that Jumps contain a mixture of two movements: both a Seated Flat and a Standing Flat.
In hand position two, a rider must maintain proper upper body alignment with the shoulders slightly forward of the hips and the elbows bent toward the pedals as the body moves with a consistent lateral rhythm. The pedal strokes are very fluid and controlled, which is more a result of working with resistance than being pulled by it.
Once each checkpoint is accomplished, the rider transitions by lifting themselves up to a stabilized position over the tip of the saddle. The rider immediately begins to establish balance by continuing with soft elbows, a slight forward tilt, and a "whole body" side-to-side movement. The number of Jumps performed is far less important than the control and rhythm that is practiced during the movement itself.
Jumps are both a fun and unique part of the Spinning program. They enhance cardiovascular development, body awareness and leg strength. No other movement in the Spinning program demands as much body control as Jumps do. That alone, makes them a highly valuable part of any training session.

Version 6 (modified by dias, 6 years ago) (diff)
The long-term plan for reworking GHC's back end is to produce an Integrated Code Generator, which will break down the barrier between the machine-independent code generator (CPS conversion, stack layout, etc) and the native-code generators (instruction selection, calling conventions, register allocation -- including spilling to the C stack, etc). The goal is to simplify the back ends by reducing code duplication and to improve the quality of the generated code by making machine-specific decisions (such as register usage) using knowledge of the actual target machine.
The main infrastructure of the back end may be complicated in some cases, but the the interface for extending a back end should be as simple as possible. For example, the implementation of the dataflow framework is quite complicated. But we can use the framework to write a new optimization by simply writing down the dataflow transfer functions that are found in standard compiler textbooks. Better yet, we can write combined superoptimizations with no more effort than writing the dataflow transfer functions for each individual optimization.

Although proponents of the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" philosophy believe that facial attractiveness is determined by a subjective group of characteristics, many scientific researchers today propose that mathematical principles of symmetry are at the root of why human beings see beauty in some faces more so than others.
Finding beauty in symmetrical proportions dates back to the artwork of the ancient Greeks, and continued during the era of the European Renaissance, as prominent architects and artists utilized the symmetry-based "golden ratio" to frame the proportions of their creations in order to render them more aesthetically pleasing.

Grace (photograph)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Grace is a photograph by Eric Enstrom. It depicts an elderly man with hands folded, saying a prayer over a table with a simple meal. In 2002, an act of the Minnesota State Legislature established it as the state photograph.[1]
History and background[edit]
The original photograph was taken in Bovey, Minnesota at Enstrom's photography studio. Most sources note the year as 1918, though Enstrom's daughter Rhoda, born in 1917, claimed to remember being present when the photograph was taken, and it may have been taken closer to 1920. The man in the photograph, Charles Wilden, was a Swedish immigrant who lived in nearby Grand Rapids, Minnesota earning a meager living as a peddler and living in a sod house. While the photograph conveys a sense of piety, the book shown in the photo is in fact a dictionary, not the Bible, and local stories about Wilden "centered more around drinking and not accomplishing very much."[2]
What happened to Wilden after the photograph is unclear. In 1926 he was paid $5 by Enstrom in return for waiving his rights to the photograph; he disappeared thereafter. After the photograph became popular Enstrom attempted to track Wilden down but was unsuccessful. Various family members and local historians have also attempted to determine what became of Wilden but have not been able to locate definitive evidence.[2]
Enstrom first licensed the photograph to Augsburg Fortress in 1930. In the 1940s his daughter, Rhoda Nyberg, colorized the photo by hand. This version was used in prints produced in the 1940s onward and became the more widespread and popularly known version of the photo.[3]
Enstrom earned a modest sum from the photograph for the remainder of his life. He died in 1968. Rhoda Nyberg died in 2012.[2][3]

That would fit a context such as KdrV A224/B271, where Kant equates [den Begriff eines Triangels] konstruieren (to construct/construe the concept of a triangle) with to give [the concept] an object, i.e. to give it what he elsewhere calls a reference [Beziehung] to objects, and hence a significance [Bedeutung] (A1456/B185), or, taking Bedeutung more broadly: to give it an imagined significance [eingebildete Bedeutung] (A84/B117), as opposed to a mere logical significance (A147/B186). To construe, that is, interpret, is to give significance.
Unfortunately, this appears not to be an accepted sense of the German verb (and moreover, according to the OED, is only a late and derivative sense of the English one). Moreover, we have to take into account another use of konstruieren in the exact same passage (from the proof of the First Postulate). Kant also talks there about the synthesis wodurch wir in der Einbildungskraft einen Triangle konstruieren (A224/B271). Whatever that means, it doesnt mean by which we construe (= interpret) a triangle in the imagination.
Many would take it, instead, to mean something like: by which we construct (= build up) a triangle out of imaginary pieces, using an imaginary compass and an imaginary ruler, on a piece of imaginary paper. But that in itself makes little sense. Moreover, to the extent that it does make sense, it leads straight back to Descartess argument that we cant do any such imaginary drawing in the case of a chiliagon (a point of which Kant is well aware: see A140/B17980). Finally, such an understanding of konstruieren wouldnt work at all in the first example, where Kant talks of constructing the concept of a triangle. A concept presumably cant be drawn on any paper, no matter how imaginary.
So my new thought is this: that both of these ways of talking are short for: einen Begriff mit einem Gegenstand konstruieren, to construe a concept with an object (on the model of: to construe a verb with an object).
If we can construe a concept with an object (via a schema), then we know that it is at least the concept of an ens imaginarium (not, like the concept diangle, that of a nihil negativum [A291/B348]; and not, of course, of an ens rationis or nihil privativum, either). What hes saying in the proof of the First Postulate (i.e., the proof that what agrees with the formal conditions of experience (according to intuitions and concepts) is possible [A218/B265]) is that to promote a concept from the concept of an ens imaginarium (which, although not impossible, is still a kind of nothing) to the concept of a possible being, we need to connect the procedure of the imagination in the schema of that concept to the synthesis of the imagination in perception.
So the object of the concept triangle would remain always only a product of the imagination if it were not that
The very same [eben dieselbe] imaging synthesis by which we construe a triangle [with its concept] in the imagination is wholly the same as [mit einerlei] that which we exercise in the apprehension of an appearance, in order to make from it an empirical concept. (again, A224/B271)
The concept triangle passes this test, but the concepts of pure time and pure space as such, die zwar Etwas sind, als Formen anzuschauen, aber selbst keine Gegenstände sind, die angeschaut werden [A291/B347], do not. The synthesis by which the pure imagination produces time and space as pure images of the categories is not the same as any synthesis of the empirical imagination in perception (but is rather a condition of possibility of all such empirical synthesis). Hence the concepts of time and space are concepts of entia imaginaria.1
However, Im not sure yet if this will work in other places or whether Kant anywhere actually uses the locution to construe a concept with an object.
1 The ursprünglich pure intuitions of time and space, I take it, do not have objects: intuitions without concepts are blind.

INTRODUCTION: An imbalanced dietary pattern may result in a number of non-communicable disorders that include: obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and subsequently impaired quality of life (QOL). Microand macro-nutrients play some important roles in maintaining human health. The objective of this study was to compare dietary intake of employees of a gas processing company, who were provided with meals by their employee, with staff from other public employers from Mashhad, in northeastern Iran.
METHODS: Twenty-four-hour food recall and a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) were used to evaluate dietary intakes of 654 male employees of Shahid Hasheminejad Gas Processing (SHGP) Company (case group), and 681 randomly selected male public employees from Mashhad as control subjects in this observational, analytic, longitudinal, prospective cohort study. The analysis of the dietary intakes was performed using Dietplan6 software.
RESULTS: Dietary macro and micro-nutrients were evaluated: including total energy, fat, MUFA, PUFA, trans fatty acids, cholesterol, starch, fiber, protein, total nitrogen, zinc, phosphor, potassium, calcium, manganese, selenium, iodine, sodium, copper, retinol, carotene, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothen, vitamin B6, biotin, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C and vitamin D. The intake of macro-nutrients, including: energy, fat, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, starch, and protein; minerals including zinc, iron, selenium; and vitamins including niacin and vitamin D were higher in the SHGP group, compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The dietary intake of the SHGP group contained lower amounts of several mineral and vitamins, which included: iodine, sodium, carotene, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, biotin, folic acid, and vitamin C, in comparison with the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we suggest it will be important to evaluate the composition of meals provided by companies and organizations, especially those that provide their employees with the majority of their food intake.

ETV before EMR
With the launch of electronic medical records (EMR/WakeOne) on September 22, it might be interesting to see how patient records were stored and transported in the past at the Medical Center.
The Electric Track Vehicle (ETV), dubbed "record runner" and described as an "oversized Lionel train," was the tunnel in which records were transported through the Medical Center. When installed in 1992, it saved about 10 to 15 minutes off each round trip.
Records were loaded into a "car", as shown by Dean Bates, a Medical Records file librarian, then transported. Initially, 12 cars rode the rails each day with 425 records.
Prior to the ETV, vans ferried clerks and their carts to Medical Records storage which looked like this in 1948.
Mr. Bates was featured in Around the Medical Center in 1992. Come visit Dorothy Carpenter Medical Archives to explore the history of the Medical Center in publications and artifacts.
