One of the big threats to dragonfly and damselfly comes from the turtles that live in the shallow waters of Wood Lake.
Fossil records indicate that the earliest know turtles existed around 215 million years, making turtles one of the oldest existing species on earth. Today there are about 300 different species of turtles in the world and they range in size from the spekled padloper tortoise, 3 inches long and weighing 5 oz, to the leatherback sea turtle, 80 inches long and weighing 2000lbs. Of the 300 different species of turtles in the world there are approximately 60 or so different types of turtles in North America. In Minnesota we only have around 10 types. The turtles in these pictures are the most common type that we see in Minnesota, the painted turtle.
The painted turtle, sometimes called a "mud Turtle" in my neck of the woods, is named for the bright colored pattern on the belly, otherwise called a plastron, of the turtle. They are semi-aquatic, spending most of their time in the waters of ponds, lakes, or slow moving rivers with muddy bottoms, although they can frequently be seen sitting on floating logs or rocks in the sun. This behavior is called basking and it is a way for the turtles to generate heat because they are cold blooded and can not regulate their own body temperatures internally. Turtles are omnivores and will eat almost anything that they can get into their mouths. This includes insects like our friends the dragonflies.

Enhanced selectivity, cellular uptake, and in vitro activity of an intrinsically fluorescent copper–tirapazamine nanocomplex for hypoxia targeted therapy in prostate cancer†
In the present work, a copper–tirapazamine (TPZ) nanocomplex [Cu(TPZ)2] was synthesized for selective hypoxia-targeted therapy. The nanocomplex revealed a crystalline form, and exhibited higher lipophilicity, compared to TPZ. Furthermore, its stability was confirmed in different media, with minimum dissociation in serum (∼20% up to 72 h). In contrast to other hypoxia-targeted agents, our intrinsically fluorescent nanocomplex offered an invaluable tool to monitor its cellular uptake and intracellular distribution under both normoxia and hypoxia. The conferred higher cellular uptake of the nanocomplex, especially under hypoxia, and its biocompatible reductive potential resulted in superior hypoxia selectivity in two prostate cancer (PC) cell lines. More promisingly, the nanocomplex showed higher potency in three-dimensional tumor spheroids, compared to TPZ, due to its slower metabolism, and probably deeper penetration in tumor spheroids. Interestingly, the nuclear localization of the intact nanocomplex, combined with its higher DNA binding affinity, as evidenced by the DNA binding assay, resulted in significant S-phase cell-cycle arrest, followed by apoptosis in the three-dimensional spheroid model. In conclusion, the presented findings suggested that the Cu(TPZ)2 nanocomplex can be a promising hypoxia-targeted therapeutic, which could potentiate the efficacy of the existing chemoand radiotherapy in PC.

p. 30
An Account of the Kinds of Sins which lead to Hell.
1. Garuḍa said: For what sins do they go on that great Way? Why do they fall into the Vaitaraṇī? Why do they go to hell? Tell me this, O Keśava.
2. The Blessed Lord said: 'Those who always delight in wrong deeds, who turn away from good deeds, go from hell to hell, from misery to misery, from fear to fear.
3. The righteous go into the city of the King of Justice by three gateways, but the sinful go into it only by the road of the southern gate.
4. The Vaitaraṇī River is only on this very miserable way. I will tell you who the sinners are who go by it.
p. 31
5-12. Slayers of Brāhmiṇs, drinkers of intoxicants, slayers of owe, infanticides, murderers of women, destroyers of the embryo, and those who commit secret sins,
Those who steal the wealth of the teacher, the property of the temple or of the twice-born; those who take away the possessions of women, and those who steal the possessions of children;
Those who do not repay their debts; those who misappropriate deposits; those who betray confidence; and those who kill with poisonous foods;
Those who seize upon the fault and depreciate the merit, who are jealous of those who have merit, who are attached to the wicked, who are foolish, who turn away from the company of the good;
Those who despise places of pilgrimage, good men, good actions, teachers and Shining Ones; those who disparage the Purāṇas, the Vedas, the Mīmāṁsā, the Nyāya and the Vedānta;
Those who are elated at seeing the miserable, who try to make the happy wretched, who speak evil words, and are always evil-minded;
Those who do not listen to good counsel nor even to the word of the Śāstras, who are self-satisfied, who are unbending, who are foolish, who thinks themselves learned;--
These, and many others, very sinful, devoid of righteousness, certainly go on the Way of Yama, weeping day and night.
13. Beaten by the messengers of Yama, they go towards the Vaitaraṇī. I will tell you what sinners fall into it.
14. Those who dishonour their mothers, fathers, teachers and preceptors and the reverend,--these men sink in it.
15. Those who wickedly abandon their wives, faithful, of good qualities, of noble birth, and modest, fall into the Vaitaraṇī.
p. 32
16. Those who ascribe evil to the good, possessed of thousands of merits, and treat them disrespectfully, fall into the Vaitaraṇī.
17. Who does not fulfil promises made to Brāhmiṇs, and who, having called them, says, 'There is nothing for you,'--of these two the stay is continued.
18-24. Who takes away what he gave; who repents of his gifts: who takes away another's livelihood; who hinders others making gifts;
Who obstructs sacrifices; who prevents the telling of stories; who removes field-boundaries; who ploughs up pastures;
The Brāhmiṇ who sells liquors, and consorts with a lowcaste woman; who kills animals for his own gratification, not for the prescribed sacrifices of the Vedas;
Who has put aside his Brāhmaṇic duties; who eats flesh and drinks liquor; who is of unbridled nature; who does not study the Śāstras;
The Śūdra who studies the letter of the Vedas, who drinks the milk of the tawny cow, who wears the sacred thread or consorts with Brāhmiṇ women;
Who covets the King's wife; who abducts others' wives, who is lustful towards virgins, and who slanders virtuous women;--
These, and many other fools, fond of treading forbidden paths, anal abandoning prescribed ditties, fall into the Vaitaraṇī.
p. 33
23. Having come all along the path the sinful reach the abode of Yama, and having come, by command of Yama, the messengers hurl them into that river again.
26. O King of Birds, they then hurl those sinners into the Vaitaraṇī, which is the foremost among hells.
27. Who did not make gifts of black cows, nor perform the ceremonies for those who are in the upper body; having suffered great misery in it, go to the tree standing on its bank.
28-30. Who give false witness; who perform false duties; who earn by cheating, and who gain a livelihood by thieving;
Who cut down and destroy big trees, gardens and forests; who neglect vows and pilgrimages, who destroy the chastity of widows;
The woman who despises her husband and thinks about another,--such and others at the silk-cotton tree experience much beating.
31. Those who fall down, through being beaten, the messengers cast into hells. I will tell you about the sinful who fall into them.
32. Deniers, those who break the laws of morality, the avaricious, those attached to sense-objects, hypocrites, the ungrateful,--these certainly go to hell.
p. 34
33. Those who destroy wells, tanks, ponds, shrines, or people's houses,--these certainly go to hell.
34. Those who eat, having neglected their wives, children, servants and teachers, and having neglected the offerings to the forefathers and the Shining Ones,--these certainly go to hell.
35. Those who obstruct roads with posts, with mounds, with timber, with stones or with thorns,--these certainly go to hell.
36. Those who, self-indulgent, do not worship Śiva, Śivā, Hari, Sūrya, Gaṇeśa, the wise, and the good teachers,--these certainly go to hell.
37-38. The Brāhmaṇi who places a harlot on his bed, goes to a low condition; begetting offspring of a Śudra woman, he is certainly degraded from the Brāhmiṇ rank:
That wretched twice-born is not worthy of salutation at any time; those fools who worship him certainly go to hell.
39. Those who are fond of quarrels, do not give up causing dissension among Brāhmaṇs and cow-fights but delight in them,--they certainly go to hell.
40. Those who, through malignity, commit transgression at the time of conception, with women who have no other refuge,---these certainly go to hell.
41. Those men who, blinded by passion, consort with women in the monthly courses, on the four days of lunar change, in the day time, in water, on Śrāddha occasions, these certainly go to hell.
p. 35
42. Those who throw their bodily refuse into fire, into water, in a garden, in a road, or in a cowpen,--these certainly go to hell.
43. Those who are makers of swords, and of bows and arrows, and those who are sellers of them,--these certainly go to hell.
44. Vaiśyas who are dealers in skins; women who sell their hair; these who sell poisons;--all these certainly go to hell.
45. Those who do not compassionate the helpless, who hate the good, who punish the guiltless;--these certainly go to hell.
46. Those who do not feed the Brāhmaṇ guests, who have come full of hope to the house, even though food is cooked;--these certainly go to hell.
47. Those who are suspicious of all creatures, and who are cruel to them, those who deceive all creatures;--these certainly go to hell.
48. Those who assume observances, and afterwards, with senses uncontrolled, cast them away again,--these certainly go to hell.
49. Those who do not respect the teacher who imparts the knowledge of the Supreme Self, and the tellers of the Purāṇas,--these certainly go to hell.
50. Those who betray their friends; those who cut short friendship; and those who destroy hopes;--these certainly go to hell.
p. 36
51. He who interferes with marriage, processions of the Shining Ones, 1 or bands of pilgrims, dwells in a dreadful hell from which there is no return.
52. The very sinful man who sets fire to a house, a village or a wood, is captured by the messengers of Yama and baked in pits of fire.
53. When his limbs are burnt with fire, he begs for a shady place, and then is led by the messengers into the forest of sword-like leaves.
54. When his limbs are cut by its leaves, sharp as swords, then they say, 'Ah, ha! Sleep comfortably in this cool shade!'

Why is the pure A2 Ghee costlier than the regular ghee
Why is the pure A2 Ghee costlier than the regular ghee
Let us understand the importance of A2 ghee before we understand why it is priced high.
Several researches have concluded the health hazards associated with HF cows A1 milk consumption because of A1 beta-casein present in the milk, the report continues to prove that A1 milk and its products lead to diseases like Type 1 diabetes, cancer etc.
On the other hand indigenous cows milk contains A2 beta-casein, which is good for health in numerous ways (no wonder why our ancestors called milk as Amruth)
Milk is milk and why is there is a difference in pricing? Don't worryWe will de-code everything in a minute.
A2 milk comes from Indian/African indigenous cows, which gives 2 to 6 liters of milk per day based on the bread type.
Now, since indigenous cow gives less milk and considering its rich nutritive value, one liter of milk is sold between 60-100 rupees in the Indian market. Secondly, the reason for its high pricing is also for the reason that these cows produce less milk.
Now Coming to the point, let us understand the cost to prepare one KG of pure ghee in bilona method.
Technically it takes about 22 liters of milk to prepare 1 KG of pure A2 cow ghee. So, if you see it costs a manufacturer approximately 1600 rupees to prepare one KG of ghee.
The majority of brands sell ghee at 600 rupees per KG by labeling it pure ghee and these are the brands who spend crores of rupees on marketing it with a 'PURE GHEE' tag.
Anyways keeping the marketing costs aside, even if it is milked from a buffalo or a HF cowthe cost of preparing ghee comes up to 1200 rupees considering 25 liters of milk, heating cost, rent, labor, transportation and miscellaneous expenses.
Now, if you are still wondering how? the answer is – It is just not ghee. Instead, it is Vanaspati or dalada ghee made from vegetable oil which contains very low nutrients and obviously comes with tons of unhealthy ingredients that are used to make it smell and taste like ghee.
These unethical practices in the market is costing people's health with an increased rate of heart attacks and obesity.
By the way, mysteriously the pure A2 ghee melts inside the human body at 37 degrees celsius against normal body temperature of 37.2 degrees. It is interesting to see how nature has fine-tuned ghee for human consumption with no chance of cholesterol build-up when compared to the adulterated ghee does not melt easily and continues to store up in your body as bad fat.
Research claims that A2 ghee benefits are immense:
 - In maintaining Mental & Physical Health
 - Healthy Hair and Skin
 - Healthy Vision
 - Anti-aging properties
 - Maintaining Bone Health
 - Overcome Weakness & Fatigue
 - Strengthening Immunity
Some of you who are lucky enough must have come across your mother or grandmother preparing ghee by storing butter on a daily basis.. Double lucky you are if you still have access to indigenous cow milk to enjoy the delicious ghee and its granules.
Think again before purchasing ghee next time because we are what we eat.

 This post is flawed in every way from fantastical health claims to magical temperature but I will point the math error here the author assume that ghee should cost 1200 per kg because it uses 25 liters of milk and anything cheaper is fake as if the skimmed milk after removing fat/ghee is not sold but thrown away this shows bogus claim on focus on painting other manufacturers bad to justify high price

 We appreciate your comment Gaurav. The cost of a A2 ghee is not less than 75 rs/ liter. Secondly it is highly priced because of shortage and the limited quantity of milk indigenous cow provides per day.
 So, even after using the butter milk and all possible bi products. It would not be possible to produce A2 cow ghee anything less than 1200 rupees..

 Some of the claims of A2 milk benefits are cogitated from the book Devil in the Milk

We can use the following structure with two different meanings. Does anyone know them?
Should + have + p.p.
If you are familiar with these rules, then please give me an answer. Since I am learning linguistics, I cannot accept an irrelevant/informal answer.
Thanks in advance
share|improve this question
If you don't know what the two different meanings are, then how do you know there are two different meanings? – Jon Hanna Feb 13 at 17:50
Also, I don't see how your learning linquistics applies, but it would seem that you can never accept any answer at all. – Jon Hanna Feb 13 at 17:53
I should have thought OP would have more sense than to antagonise respondents by slagging off potentially irrelevant answers before he's even seen them. He should have been more deferential. – FumbleFingers Feb 13 at 18:07
_USER_ I should have hoped it was a given that irrelevant answers wouldn't be accepted, but if someone is to insist upon formal answers then they should have written the question more formally than with hasty abbreviations. – Jon Hanna Feb 13 at 21:44
_USER_: I suppose in the final analysis my usage above (and indeed, yours) are subcategories within the "obligation" sense as set out by Cerberus. That's to say, if we were thinking/hoping "properly, as we ought", those would be our idea[l]s. I can't explain exactly why, but it seems to me casting the statements as "past tense hypothetical" implies disdain here (rather than deference, as would normally be the case with, say, "I would ask..." instead of "I ask..."). God knows how you analyse "I should have hoped" as opposed to "I should hope" (or just plain "I hope"). – FumbleFingers Feb 13 at 22:52
1 Answer 1
Should can be used in two (modal) ways:
 1. to express obligation, you should do the dishes now;
 2. to express probability, Napoleon should be unable to conquer St Petersburg.
It can be used in both ways in your construction. That is all that can be said about this without further context.
share|improve this answer
OP did in fact give considerably more context than you've acknowledged there. Specifically, he's focussed on should + have + p.p., so riddle me this: does my third comment to the question itself represent obligation, probability, or what? I can't really see much of an element of obligation there, but it seems more like certainty than probability to me. – FumbleFingers Feb 13 at 18:13
He should have been fits obligation, surely. However, there is the alternative to would: "If it had rained, I don't know what I should have done." That's neither obligation nor probability. – Andrew Leach Feb 13 at 18:16
_USER_: Yes, obligation is the underlying sense of the second instance in my comment. But I should have thought it was fairly obvious I was thinking of the first instance. Which is really indistinguishable from I would have thought. Theoretically that verb form represents "irrealis", but that would hardly stand up in court since ipso facto I'm declaring that I do think whatever I should/would have thought. – FumbleFingers Feb 13 at 18:41
_USER_: I should apologise for my earlier flippancy. And the fact that I plain forgot to upvote what's obviously the most complete (and correct) answer that can be given with OP's limited context. To all intents and purposes I suspect the + have + p.p. bit is irrelevant (apart from being a spur to flippancy). Whatever - I've no doubt it's a dup of several earlier questions too, but someone else can do the spadework for that. – FumbleFingers Feb 13 at 23:46

The transmission Cycle
T.b. gambiense sleeping sickness is transmitted from human to human by the tsetse fly which is the most common form of transmission. As some animals can host the human pathogenic parasite, transmission can occasionally take place directly from animals to humans, which is believed to be one of the causes of the long term maintenance of the disease in endemic areas. However the epidemiological importance of such zoonotic transmission is poorly understood.
T.b. rhodesiense sleeping sickness transmission cycle involves to a great extent domestic and wild animals. Intensified man to man transmission occurs during epidemics. The strong zoonotic character of the T.b. rhodesiense form of the disease substantially complicates surveillance and control issues, requiring action on the fly or on the animals hosting the parasite.
Vertical transmission (mother to child) is very frequent in infected pregnant. Blood transfusion and laboratory infection have been described.

More Questions than Answers? A review of the effectiveness of inquiry based learning in Higher Education
Paper presented at the 2015 CLEA Conference in Glasgow
University of Northumbria, UK
The importance of problem solving as part of expert knowledge and its role in the construction of knowledge has been recognised in Higher Education in a number of different disciplines. The constructivist approach to learning demands a move away from knowledge being passively received through the lecture or seminar to a range of teaching techniques broadly known as inquiry based learning.
In medical education, problem based learning has been used since 1950s when it was developed at McMaster University to address criticisms of existing approaches to medical education. The distinctive feature of the McMaster model was that the problem came first, students had no prior exposure to the subject area and the problem acted as a "query or puzzle which the learner wishes to solve". Problem based learning has also been used in legal education, most notably by Maastricht University in the Netherlands and more recently by York University in the UK. Clinical Legal Education, which uses real life or simulated client problems, is widely used in legal education internationally. The skills and knowledge needed for use in the clinical setting may or may not have been introduced in prior learning but the use of the unstructured client problem requires students to develop their expertise as problem solvers and to use their knowledge in a flexible way based on the situation presented. As preparation for legal practice and for development of critical problem solving skills it is unsurprising that these and other inquiry based learning approaches are increasingly being adopted by legal educators.
Accommodating inquiry based learning within the law curriculum has substantial redesign and costs implications. As Albanese and Mitchell observed " Stated bluntly, if problem based learning is simply another route to achieving the same product, why bother with the expense and effort of undertaking a painful curriculum revision?". Over the years medical educators have hotly debated the effectiveness of problem based learning in its ability to develop discipline knowledge and knowledge application.
This paper seeks to review the literature on the effectiveness of a range of different inquiry based learning approaches across different disciplines and attempts to identify principles of good practice to inform its incorporation into the law curriculum and maximise their effectiveness in the classroom.

Sending the response message of API after command success or failed
I using the constructor of aggregate with command handler annotation, to create create the new instance of the aggregate. Now after the creation, the api have to send the response message to UI (which shown to user). How I can achive this? and what is the best way to to this?
I was learned about the following pattern,, please suggest any good way or example to implement this.
In simple cases your API endpoint handler can construct a command and use sendAndWait() to send the command via the command gateway.
sendAndWait will throw an exception if the the command was not dispatched successfully.
The issue is that your projections will not necessarily be up to date on return from sendAndWait() – so you can't "read your writes".
There is a discussion on the "read your writes" issue here
It has some sample code.
In our project we have built on the understanding gained from the sample code to create an implementation pattern of correlated commands and events.
Our projections publish on the query bus to allow senders of correlated commands to know when their write is readable.
It's working well and is a surprisingly small amount of code.
From the link above it sounds like Axon will provide something like this at some point…
Hi Aswani, Steven,
Aswani, what kind of response are you looking for to be returned as part of a command execution?
The framework does not impose any restriction on returned values from Command Handlers at the moment.
However, from a usage perspective we suggest that you only return a void (in case of success or ignore), an exception (for failure) and Identifiers of Aggregates/Entities which were constructed as a result of handling the command.
A command handling constructor will actually by default provide you with the Aggregate Identifier, instead of the Aggregate instance.
Thus, if the response you'd want to give to the UI is an identifier to be able to retrieve a query model, this should already be doable.
What Steven points out should also proof valuable, given the scenario you need to reply with an actual Query Model, spoofing a synchronize operation on the back-end.
I think his suggestion would be sufficient given you're interested in the entire Query Model.
Lastly, as pointed out, we're indeed looking into adding the some indication in the Command Response pointing to the sequence of the last event published as a reaction to the given command.
With this, you should in turn be able to query your model adding this sequence number to the query you dispatch as an expectation your Query Model should comply too.
As shared, this is however not yet implemented.
That's my 2 cents to the situation.

Kirby is a pink puffball from Dreamland and is the hero of the Kirby franchise created by Masahiro Sakurai. Since his debut in Kirby's Dream Land in 1992, Kirby has starred in 17 other games. Kirby has also been featured in the Super Smash Bros. franchise (also created by Masahiro Sakurai) as a playable character. Kirby has been in various other media as well, such as manga. A television show featuring Kirby called Kirby: Right Back At Ya! aired for 100 episodes.
Concept and Creation
Kirby had originally retained his image by the name of Popopo and was to appear in the original concept game titled'Twinkle Popopo'. He was set into programing as an incomplete placeholder for the main character, featured only as a blob sprite in the early development, of what would know be known as the first entry of Kirby in the series of games to come. However, in the final release for the public in 1992, he become well accepted in Japanese title release "Hosi no Kābī" (translated as "Kirby of the Stars"). When given the choice of character design, game creator Masahiro Sakurai preferred Kirby's placeholder mold over the originally intended concept design.
Kirby has the ability to inhale objects or enemies. If an enemy with a unique power is inhaled, Kirby can swallow the enemy and steal its power. Inhaled enemies and objects can also be spit back out to deal damage. Mini-bosses can be inhaled after they are defeated. Kirby can also fly by filling himself with air and flapping his stubby arms.
In Kirby Super Star, Kirby can substitute his current power for an ally version of the swallowed enemy who would be controlled by the computer or the second player. In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby could turn his power into a crystal. The crystal could be thrown at enemies to make a combination crystal which Kirby could inhale to get a combination power. In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby would encounter powers contained in bubbles. These powers could be stored in Kirby's stomach (the DS's touch screen). The player could use the touch screen to drag one power to another to combine powers.
List of Kirby's Inhale Abilities
Kirby is capable of inhaling a number of enemies at a time and may inherit a varied ability from the previous inhaled foe. Exhaling the foe simply redirects their shape as a star.
- Animal - Kirby wears an animal fur. Kirby attacks with a slash attack. Kirby can dig through dirt.
- Beam - Kirby wears a jester hat. Kirby attacks by whipping out an electric chain.
- Bomb - Kirby wears a blue Santa hat. Kirby can throw bombs or set bombs down on the ground.
- Bubble - Kirby has a crown of bubbles. Kirby attacks with a bubble wand that shoots bubbles. The bubbles turn enemies into abilities inside bubbles.
- Fireball - Kirby has a crown of flames and flames on his arms. Kirby turns into a fast moving ball of flame. Can break metal blocks.
- Cook - Kirby wears a chef's hat. Kirby takes out a pot, and all enemies on screen jump in and are turned into food. Can only be used once.
- Copy - Kirby wears a high-tech visor. He sends out a short-range scanning beam that will automatically copy the ability of any enemy it touches for Kirby to use. (If the enemy has no ability to copy, the beam simply destroys them.)
- Crash - Kirby flashes white. He turns himself into a smart bomb that destroys every enemy on the screen. One time use.
- Cupid - Kirby has a halo and angel wings. Kirby shoots and arrow that can be charged up. Kirby can hover.
- Cutter - Kirby wears a helmet with horns. Kirby attacks using boomerangs. Only 2 boomerangs can be thrown at a time. Can cut strings.

- Fire - Kirby wears a crown of fire. Kirby attacks by breathing fire. The fire can melt ice or metal.
- Ghost - Kirby wears a sheet with eye holes. Kirby attacks by rushing into enemies and possessing them. The player can then control the enemy or release it.
- Hammer - Kirby holds a hammer. Kirby attacks by swinging the hammer. He can also throw the hammer for a powerful ranged attack, but he gives up the ability by doing so. Can break metal blocks. Can be used underwater. Can hit pegs.
- Hi-Jump - Kirby wears a cape. Kirby attacks by jumping high and landing with a shockwave.
- IceKirby wears a crown of ice crystals. Kirby attacks by breathing ice, turning enemies into ice cubes which can be kicked. The ice can freeze water or lava.
- Laser - Kirby wears an eye gadget. Kirby attacks with a laser that bounces off walls.
- Magic - Kirby wears a magician's top hat. Kirby attacks by making doves appear, shooting playing cards and making a jack-in-a-box appear. The cards can cut strings.

- Mirror - Kirby wears a red and blue jester's cap. He can attack by sending out a short-range stream of mirror shards with his wand, or by making a quick mirror image of himself. Both techniques reflect enemy projectiles. Can cut strings.
- MissileKirby has a target on the top of his head. Kirby attacks by turning into a rocket that the player can guide. Can break metal blocks.
- Mike - Kirby goes through three different appearances: wearing headphones and yelling into a radio microphone, wearing a white cap and yelling into a megaphone, and wearing a mohawk and yelling into a rock concert mic. Each instance has the same effect: Kirby yells so loudly that all enemies on the screen explode. After the third use, this ability disappears.
- Needle - Kirby wears a spike cap. Kirby attacks by encasing himself with spikes.
- Ninja - Kirby wears a helmet with Japanese style hair. Kirby can throw shuriken or create an explosion. Kirby can also walk on water and cling to walls. The explosion changes to water type if Kirby is on water.
- Paint - Kirby wears a gray cap backwards. He grabs a paint bucket and paintbrush and fills the whole screen with colors, damaging every enemy on the screen. Also used in the boss fight with Chameleo Arm in Kirby Super Star to counteract his camouflage. One time use.
- Parasol - Kirby holds a parasol. Kirby attacks by whacking people with the parasol. He can also use the parasol to slow his descent in mid-air and to shield himself from the front.
- Plasma - Kirby wears a crown of green electricity. Kirby creates a circle of electric energy around him. Can send electricity on certain surfaces. He builds up power by quickly moving back and forth (a technique intended to replicate the act of building up static electricity by rubbing your feet against a carpet).
- SleepKirby wears a sleeping cap. Kirby cannot attack for a few seconds while he sleeps. Sometimes sleeping will heal Kirby.
- Stone - Kirby wears a helmet that looks like the ninja cap. Kirby can turn into a stone. Can hit pegs.
- Suplex - Kirby wears a blue headband, and his skin tone turns slightly darker. He can dash forward to grab objects or enemies, then toss or slam them in various ways like German suplexes and piledrivers. It works very similarly to the Throw ability from Kirby's Adventure, but Suplex is the name given to this ability in Kirby Super Star.
- Sword - Kirby holds a sword. Kirby attacks using sword slashes. Can cut strings. Can be used underwater.
- Throw - Kirby wears a blue headband. Kirby can suck enemies toward him, then throw them. Can break metal blocks.
- Tornado - Kirby has a crown of swirling air. Kirby can turn into a tornado which the player can guide.
- UFOKirby is in a UFO. Kirby attacks using a charge laser, or the Beam power. Kirby can hover. Can be used underwater.
- Wheel - Kirby wears a red cap. Kirby attacks by turning into a wheel and rolling across the ground. In Kirby Squeak Squad, if the wheel rolls onto ice or electricity, the element will change.
- Wing - Kirby wears Native American feathers on his head as well as some red facepaint. He sends out small feathers as a weak projectile attack, but he can also perform powerful aerial diving attacks. This ability also fundamentally changes the way Kirby's flight mechanics work: he gains more horizontal velocity and doesn't need to inhale before taking flight.
- Yo-Yo - Kirby wears a blue cap backwards. He attacks by swinging a yo-yo and by breakdancing.
Rick is a character that befriends Kirby along the way in the adventures sum to Kirby's Dream Land 2, alongside other fellow companions Coo and Kine. It is taken that from all of Kirby's Animal Friends, Rick has substantial relations of quality with Kirby as being adorable creatures, thus landing him in favor with audiences of the Kirby series. The intrinsic journey allows for the use of Rick as the featured land friend that helps along the best suited for this particular terrain, as to Coo and Kine are suited for air and water, respectfully.

Twisted Web is:
- an HTTP server, that can be used as a library or run as a stand-alone server
- an HTML templating engine
- an HTTP client library
Twisted Web supports numerous standards; for example, it can serve as a WSGI and CGI container, or an XMLRPC server. It can also serve static content. Twisted Web provides built-in support for name-based virtual hosts, reverse proxying, XML parsing, and more.
Twisted Web is a very simple to set up stand-alone server. For example, to run a server that serves static content out of the current directory, you can just run this short command line:
twistd web --path. --port 8080
To run a WSGI application, it's just as simple:
twistd web --wsgi my.application.name --port 8080
Because Twisted Web is also a Python library with a documented API, you can configure your server entirely using Python. For example, let's say you have a bunch of directories with names corresponding to each domain you want to serve from your web server. Here's the configuration file which creates a virtual host configuration serving static content for each domain out of the directory matching its name:
# virtual.rpy from twisted.python.filepath import FilePath from twisted.web.static import File from twisted.web.vhost import NameVirtualHost resource = NameVirtualHost() for p in FilePath(".").children(): resource.addHost(p.basename(), File(p.path))
This configuration can be run with:
twistd web --resource-script=virtual.rpy --port 8080
Unlike some other simple-to-run Python web servers, Twisted Web is an production-grade server that can be used to deploy real applications. Among other sites, this web site (twistedmatrix.com) is run entirely via Twisted Web. Because it's programmable, you can customize your deployment as much or as little as you like, including having your web server run periodic tasks. Because it's self-contained and requires no configuration, it's ideal for developing web applications because your production environment can mirror your deployment environment very closely with little effort.
What It's Not
Twisted Web is a web server, and a framework for doing things with the web - although it shares some components in common with frameworks like Django, it's not a "web framework" in the same sense. The Twisted ecosystem includes many different web-related tools. Learn which one is right for you.
See the Downloads page.
Twisted Web is available under the MIT Free Software licence.

A novel wavelet-based algorithm for real-time detection of epileptic seizures using scalp EEG is proposed. In a moving-window analysis, the EEG from each channel is decomposed by wavelet packet transform. Using wavelet coefficients from seizure and nonseizure references, a patient-specific measure is developed to quantify the separation between seizure and nonseizure states for the frequency range of 1-30 Hz. Utilizing this measure, a frequency band representing the maximum separation between the two states is determined and employed to develop a normalized index, called combined seizure index (CSI). CSI is derived for each epoch of every EEG channel based on both rhythmicity and relative energy of that epoch as well as consistency among different channels. Increasing significantly during ictal states, CSI is inspected using one-sided cumulative sum test to generate proper channel alarms. Analyzing alarms from all channels, a seizure alarm is finally generated. The algorithm was tested on scalp EEG recordings from 14 patients, totaling 75.8 h with 63 seizures. Results revealed a high sensitivity of 90.5%, a false detection rate of 0.51 h-1 and a median detection delay of 7 s. The algorithm could also lateralize the focus side for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

I have send an Encrypted email to Lotus notes in-box, If I access that email from my local Its giving true, If the same email is running different system Its giving false. Is it setting issue? My code look like logger.debug("This Email is encrypted?

The isEncrypted() property is not related to the Encrypt field. That field is just a UI switch. The isEncrypted() property is based on the $Seal item, or on SMIME content if the message is in MIME format.
There are two questions that are probably related to what you are seeing:
 - Are you using two different Notes ID files to read the message?
 - Are you using the same version of Lotus Notes on both systems?
If you open an encrypted message in the Notes API, and your current Notes ID file contains the correct private key to decrypt the message, then the message is automatically decrypted. This happens in a layer down below the LotusScrpt and Java APIs, so these APIs see that the document is not encrypted and return false. But apparently IBM changed this in version 8.5.2. Here's a link that reports that in 8.5.2 the isEncrypted() will return true. It seems that IBM has fixed the code so that it now knows the right answer even though the automatic decryption was already done.
And of course, if you open an encrypted message in the Notes API using a Notes ID file that doesn't contain the correct private key to decrypt the message, IsEncrypted() will always return true.

Thanks for replying Richard. I am using same notes id for reading the message. Yes there is two different versions. I am using lotus 8.5 and my testing system has lotus 8.0 on that. Is it version issue? – Sarma Oct 1 '12 at 16:55
This post on the IBM DeveloperWorks forum indicates that it is not a version problem until 8.5.2: www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/… – Richard Schwartz Oct 1 '12 at 19:22

Learn C for Cocoa
This tutorial explains the parts of C you need to get started with Cocoa. We cover most concepts in a page or two instead of an entire chapter. Don't skim. Give your complete attention to each section.
You should already know at least one scripting or programming language, including functions, variables and loops. You'll also need to type commands into the Mac OS X Terminal.
This Cocoa Dev Central tutorial is written by Scott Stevenson
Writing tutorials takes a ton of time and effort. If you find this tutorial useful, please let us know by making a donation. The more donations we receive, the more time we can afford to spend writing.
Suggested amounts: Useful: $5 | Very Useful: $12 | Priceless: $21
Skills Check
Make sure you understand the code below before continuing.
function display_area_code ($code) { print ("$code "); } $area_codes[0] = 408; $area_codes[1] = 650; $area_codes[2] = 510; /* this is a comment */ $count = 3; for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) display_area_code ($area_codes[$i]);
This example has a function, a print statement, a comment, an array, variables, and a loop. If all of this makes sense to you, you're ready to use this tutorial.
To download the examples instead of typing them, grab the following disk image: All examples for tutorial
You must have Xcode installed to build software on Mac OS X, though most of the code here will probably work on any OS.
A Sample C Program
This is your first C program. Paste this example into a plain text editor and name the file test1.c
_TAG_ main () { printf ("I'm a C program\n"); }
The _TAG_ statement includes the C code that deals with input and output. We need this for the printf function.
The next line defines the main function that all C programs have.
Finally, I call the printf function with some text to display on the command line. The \n inserts a new line after the text.
Use GCC to Compile
Open Terminal and change to the directory that contains the test.c file. Enter the command gcc test1.c -o test1. To run the program, enter./test1 on the command line.
If see errors, go back and make sure you pasted the sample source code correctly.
host% gcc test1.c -o test1 host%./test1 I'm a C program host%
The -o parameter for gcc sets the name of the program file. If you leave this out, the program will just be called "a.out".
About the Compiler
You need to use a compiler to convert your C source code into a binary program before you can run it. A compiled program often runs much faster than a script. Much of Mac OS X is written in C.
In this tutorial, we're using gcc on the command line to compile, but Xcode provides a graphical front end to the same tools.
A C program can usually only run on the same type of computer it was compiled on. If you compile your C source on Mac OS X, you can't run the program on something like Linux. You have to recompile the same code on Linux.
In more complex C programs, you have to change the code for each platform you compile for. This is called porting the code.
C Differences
It's easier to learn C if you can compare it to a language you already know. Below is a list of concepts that are new to you if you're coming from a scripting language like PHP or Perl:
Basic C Concepts
compiler creates useable programs from C source
typed variables kind of data that a variable contains
typed functions the kind of data returned from a function
header files (.h) declare functions and variables in a separate file
structs groups of related values
enums lists of predefined values
pointers aliases to other variables
These are all pretty simple concepts. The C language is not that complicated, it's just that all the different pieces can be put together in a way that makes things seem confusing.
Without pointers, C would look almost identical to PHP. Pointers are tricky conceptually, but Cocoa abstracts you from the most of the those details for basic programming.
You're not going to learn about pointers in this tutorial. The focus here is getting you up and running quickly. You can go back and revisit pointers when you want to get into more serious programming.
Typed Variables
In scripting languages, you can use variables freely. You're allowed to change the contents of a variable from an integer number, to a decimal number, and finally to text:
$variable = 2; $variable = 1.618; $variable = 'A';
In C, the rules are more strict. You have to declare the type of data a variable will hold, and the type can't change later. Here's the C equivalent of the snippet above:
int variable1 = 2; float variable2 = 1.618; char variable3 = 'A';
Notice that I had to define three separate variables in the C version, one for each type of data. You only have to declare the variable type once, though:
float variable2 = 1.618; variable2 = 3.921; variable2 = 4.212;
Available Types
For our purposes, these are the built-in C types you need to know about:
Type Description Examples
int integer numbers, including negatives 0, 78, -1400
unsigned int integer numbers (no negatives) 0, 46, 900
float floating point decimal numbers 0.0, 1.618, -1.4
char single text character or symbol 'a', 'D', '?'
Although you won't see them as often, be aware of the double type, which is a version of float that can hold larger decimal point numbers, and long, which is a larger version of int.
C also allows you to create your own variable types.
Typed Functions
In C, you have to declare the type of data you plan to return from a function. The return type can be any C variable type, and is placed to the left of the function name.
int numberOfPeople () { return 3; } float dollarsAndCents () { return 10.33; } char firstLetter () { return 'A'; }
You can also specify the return type as void. For now, you can just think of this as saying that no value will be returned:
void printHello () { printf ("Hello\n"); }
Types for Parameters
It's also necessary to define types for values passed into a function. Unlike scripting languages, though, you can't set default values.
int difference (int value1, int value2) { return value1 - value2; } float changeDue (float amountPaid, float costOfItem) { return amountPaid - costOfItem; }
Declaring Functions
In C, a function has to be declared before any other code can call it. You can put all the functions before main(), but this quickly becomes a lot of work.
The solution is a function prototype. It looks like a function definition, but it doesn't have curly braces and ends in a semicolon:
int difference ( int value1, int value2 ); float changeDue ( float amountPaid, float costOfItem );
In a function prototype, you specify the type of data to return, the function name, and a type for each value passed into the function.
Here's an example. Paste the contents into a file called test2.c
_TAG_ int sum ( int x, int y ); main () { int theSum = sum (10, 11); printf ( "Sum: %i\n", theSum ); } int sum ( int x, int y ) { return x + y; }
I include stdio.h so I can use printf. After that, I declare the sum function using a prototype. Inside main, I call the sum function, and store the result in a variable called theSum.
Because the sum function specifies a return type of int, I need to declare theSum as an int too. The variable type should match the function return type.
I display the contents of theSum using printf. At the bottom is the sum function itself, which just adds the two number together. This is called the function implementation.
Compile the Example
Open Terminal and change to the directory which contains test2.c. Then, type "gcc test2.c -o test2" to compile.
Type "./test2" to run the program.
host% gcc test2.c -o test2 host%./test2 Sum: 21 host%
Format Strings
You might be wondering what that %i in the above example means. In some scripting languages like PHP, you can freely embed variables inside of double quotes:
$var1 = 3; $var2 = 8; print ("First value: $var1 second value: $var2");
In C, you can't embed variables directly inside text. You have to use a format string with markers for the variables:
int var1 = 3; int var2 = 8; printf ("First value: %i second value: %i", var1, var2);
Format Markers
int %i / %d
unsigned int %u
float %f
char %c
The format string is everything inside the double quotes. Put a % marker anywhere you want the contents of a variable to appear.
The letter you put next to the percent symbol depends

Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare and progressive condition where increasing numbers of brain cells are damaged over time, and certain sections of the brain begin to shrink (neurodegeneration).
Symptoms of CBD include:
 - stiffness, jerkiness, and clumsiness in one or more limbs
 - mild to moderate dementia (a decline in mental abilities, such as memory, thinking, and understanding)
 - increasing difficulties with speaking and swallowing
The cause of CBD is unknown.
How common is CBD?
CBD is a rare condition. In England, it is estimated that there is one new case diagnosed every year for every 100,000 people. However, this figure may underestimate the true number of those affected by CBD because many cases may have been misdiagnosed, often as stroke, or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). PSP is a slightly more common neurodegenerative condition, which shares many of the symptoms of CBD.
Most cases of CBD affect people who are 60-80 years of age, with 67 being the average age for the onset of symptoms. CBD may be more common in women than in men, but because the condition is so rare, it is difficult to be entirely certain.
CBD is a progressive condition, which means that the initial symptoms will become more severe over time, and that new symptoms may develop. The rate at which symptoms progress can vary widely between individuals, but people typically live for around eight years after the onset of symptoms.
People with CBD are very vulnerable to developing other complications, such as pneumonia, which can be fatal.
Research into treatments for CBD is ongoing, but there are no current treatments that can be used to cure the condition. Therefore, treatment for CBD focuses on relieving the symptoms, and ensuring that the person with the condition has the best possible quality of life.
Symptoms of corticobasal degeneration
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a progressive condition, which means that the symptoms develop gradually, before becoming more severe over the space of many years.
However, it is important to realise that only a few people will experience all of the symptoms that are outlined below. Also, individual symptoms can vary in severity from person to person.
Initial symptoms
The most common initial symptom of CBD is a sudden difficulty in controlling one of your limbs. In most people, this is usually their hand or arm, but sometimes a person's leg can be affected.
You may experience muscle stiffness, rigidity, and spasms, in your limb, and you will probably find it increasingly difficult to use the affected limb. Some people with CBD have reported that it feels like the affected limb is no longer under their control, and does not belong to them. This is known as 'alien limb syndrome'.
Intermediate symptoms
As CBD progresses, the problems that you have controlling your limb, and the symptoms of muscle spasms and stiffness, will spread to other limbs, usually in both your arms and legs.
Balance and co-ordination problems will become more pronounced, and many people find it increasingly difficult to walk. Most people will begin to experience problems with their speech, as it becomes slow and slurred, making it difficult to understand.
At this stage, the muscles of the eyes are usually also affected, with many people having problems moving their eyes up and down and, less commonly, to the left and right. This can increase the risks of falls, as well as contributing to problems with eating and carrying out everyday tasks.
At the intermediate stage of the condition, many people with CBD will begin to experience symptoms of mild to moderate dementia. This can take the form of:
 - problems recalling words and expressing yourself by using the correct language
 - short-term memory loss and increasing forgetfulness
 - problems performing tasks that require forward planning
 - problems coping with sudden and unexpected situations, such as suddenly realising that you have forgotten the keys to your house
It is also common for someone with CBD to experience personality changes and related mental health conditions including:
A significant minority of people with CBD also develop obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
This usually takes the form of repetitive actions, such as repeatedly picking up and then putting down an object, an obsessive desire for cleanliness, and repeated 'checking activities', such as checking all the windows are locked or the cooker has been turned off.
Advanced stages
During the advanced stages of CBD, the symptoms of muscle stiffness and rigidity will continue to get worse, and you may lose the ability to move one or more of your limbs. Some people with advanced CBD are unable to walk and require a wheelchair.
The quality of your speech will probably continue to deteriorate and it may become almost unintelligible to others.
Problems controlling your eye muscles are also likely to get worse, and some people with advanced CBD will be unable to change the direction of their gaze and will only be able to stare straight ahead.
For a small number of people with advanced CBD, their dementia will worsen and they will require constant care.
Most people with advanced CBD will find it increasingly difficult to swallow food and liquid. This is known as dysphagia. At some time, people with CBD will need to consider the possible benefits and drawbacks of using a feeding tube.
As a result of dysphagia, many people with CBD will experience repeated chest infections that are caused by fluids or small particles of food that inadvertently fall down into their lungs This can lead to a serious condition called aspiration pneumonia, which is the leading cause of death in cases of CBD.
Causes of corticobasal degeneration
Cortiocobasal degeneration (CBD) is caused by a progressive loss of brain cells, and the shrinkage (atrophy) of parts of the brain that are responsible for movement, speech, and the higher thought processes, such as understanding and planning.
It is thought that the damage and shrinkage to the brain is caused by an the over-production of a protein called tau, which naturally occurs in the brain, but at a lot lower level than seen in cases of CBD. In cases of CBD, the excess levels of tau forms into clumps which are thought to kill nearby brain cells.
CBD has similar symptoms to another neurodegenerative condition called progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). However, in PSP the pattern of brain damage is slightly different, so it may be the case that both CBD and PSP are two related syndromes that are caused by the same underlying cause (or causes).
It is not known what leads to the over-production of the tau protein and the resulting death of brain cells. Recent research indicates that genetic factors make a person more likely to develop CBD. However, there is no evidence to suggest that CBD can be passed down from a parent to their child, and most experts think that it is unlikely that CBD is an inherited condition.
Further research is ongoing to identify what other factors may trigger CBD. Two environmental triggers that have been suggested include:
 - an as yet, unidentified virus, or other type of infectious agent, which may slowly infect the brain over many years
 an unidentified neurotoxin (a poison that damages the brain and nerve cells) that may be present in the environment
Diagnosing corticobasal degeneration
There is no single test that can be used to diagnose cortiocobasal degeneration (CBD). Instead, the diagnosis is based on the type and pattern of symptoms, while ruling out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, and more common types of dementia.
Imaging scans
In order to rule out these, other conditions, it is likely that you will be referred for a series of imaging scans to check whether there are any underlying problems with your brain, such as a brain tumour, or dementia, that could help explain your symptoms. Imaging scans may also be able to detect whether certain areas of the brain have experienced shrinkage.
You may also be prescribed a medication called levodopa, which can help determine whether your symptoms are caused by CBD or Parkinson's disease. This is because people with Parkinson's disease usually experience a marked improvement in their symptoms after taking levodopa. However, this is not the case for people with CBD, and levodopa usually only has a limited effect in improving symptoms
Receiving the diagnosis
Once all other possible causes of your symptoms have been ruled out, a confident diagnosis of CBD can usually be made.
Being told that you have CBD can be an emotionally devastating experience, and the news can often be difficult to take in. Therefore, at this time, it is important that you have the support of your family and care team who will be able to help you to come to terms with the diagnosis.
Treatment of corticobasal degeneration
As cortiocobasal degeneration (CBD) can have an impact on many different aspects of your life and health, the treatment of CBD is provided by a team of health and social care professionals working together. This type of team is known as a multidisciplinary team (MDT) because it contains experts from many different healthcare disciplines. See box, left.
While there are no medications that can be used to directly treat CBD, there are some medications that can be used help control some of the condition's symptoms. These are discussed below.
Levodopa is a medication that is often used to treat Parkinson's disease. While it is usually less effective for people with CBD, for some people it may provide moderate, short-term improvement in muscle stiffness and rigidity.
Levodopa works by increasing the levels of a brain chemical called dopamine by transmitting messages from your brain that control and coordinate your body's movements.

In the next phase of the DRS program, taking into account the ESA suggestion, a stable configuration baseline should be defined having a reliable development plan and long term supporting plan that will give the market confidence that the DRS service will be available on a long term basis defending the investments that each single Agency has to budget.
The architectural baseline has to include all those functions which are required to migrate from a technology mission, like ARTEMIS, into a fully operational one, for example: (i) accounting and billing, (ii) system performance monitoring; (iii) service level agreements and key performance indicators; (iv) more advanced programming and planning functions required by a rapid allocation of the system resources (e.g. rapid telecommanding).
The communication between Space and Ground Segment is a key requirement in all the space missions to accomplish the scope of the mission itself.
In missions such as Earth Observation, deep space and exploration, launchers, ISS, this need is strictly related to the visibility between the spacecraft and the Ground Stations. A DRS mission, through geostationary satellites, can dramatically improve the visibility time for data downloading reducing the need of different Ground Stations located in all Earth regions.
This advantage allows many different space missions to send and receive data from the users, increasing significantly the continuity of the communication links and by consequence the traffic volume downloaded to ground. In this context the EO market segment seems to be the more interested to the benefits provided by a DRS mission. These benefits can be summarized in a reduction of the system response time obtained by means of two different actions:
In particular this last action could be interesting for defence or dual users. For these kind of users, which usually need mandatory requirements for the information security, it is also possible to manage data encryption capabilities, by the implementation of DRS dedicated mission.
In this optic an European DRS mission represents an opportunity for the European Space community to endow with a set of services already available for US space programs (TDRSS mission), that allow a more effective service to all the space initiatives either in civilian or in defence field.
The DRS mission can be considered to be made up of a set of entities which represent the different Segments, Centers and Stations devoted to performing the main functions and operations at ground and space level needed to exploit the Mission in terms of mission management and service provisioning.
Drivers leading to the assessment of the DRS Ground and Space Segment architecture are based on the mission characteristics: a geostationary system involved in a telecommunication data relay application. However, in addition to the DRS Core Services, the proposed architecture also addresses the DRS Complementary Services as well as the Operator Proposed Additional Services.
The following figure, depicting the above Scenario, introduces the context of the DRS Mission.
In the figure the following components are shown:
The project plan foresaw the following schedule:
The DRS study was completed in July 2008. The interest of ESA in developing a European DRS mission leads to the presentation of an Announcement of Opportunity. This invites interested European companies to present a proposal for the development of a DRS mission that should start at the end of 2008 and foresees the launch of the first two satellites (that should use piggy-back missions) during 2012.


text: 4.4 / 5 ( 22 votes ) How Often Should I Rotate my Mattress? Some people can still remember their parents telling them to flip or rotate their mattress every so often back when they were growing up. Flipping your mattress, they said, would help increase the lifespan of the mattress and maintain the durability of the cushion. In today's day and age, technology has come a long way, even in the world of sleepwear. With so many brands and different combinations of materials being used in order to create the perfect sleep, there isn't really a complete guide to when and how often we should flip or rotate our mattresses. There is even a question in whether or not we still have to do this rotational routine. Why do we Rotate or Flip? If this is an entirely new concept, to begin with, people used to flip or rotate their mattresses in order to help even out the wear and tear on the mattress. Our beds are subject to so much stress whether it be a difference in weight distribution depending on user or lifestyle. There can be an imbalance in how much support and how well aligned the mattress is holding your body at. Mattress stores used to recommend that people flip their mattresses every couple of months, typically three. Flipping your mattress would keep it comfortable and reduce the appearance of a saggy mattress. Mattresses used to be made double-sided. No matter which way they were facing, there was comfort on both sides of the bed. What is the Difference and Which is Better? Flipping the mattress involves literally picking up the mattress and flipping it to its other unused side. The face of the mattress that hasn't been used yet is still fresh and is only collecting dust while pressed against the bed frame. Rotating the mattress involves only turning the mattress 180 degrees so that the other end is facing the opposite end it was turned to earlier. Rotating does not mean flipping as well, so you would still be sleeping on the same surface, but the end that was potentially less elevated would be in the other direction. So which is a more useful method in order to prolong the lifespan of your mattress? Flipping is most likely the better and more obvious choice. If you're already planning on lifting the heavy thing, you might as well turn it to the more supportive side that hasn't been used. The pressure would be more comfortable with flipping it as the stronger side is the new back and body support system. Is Mattress Flipping Mandatory? In this day and age, mattress flipping has become less common in the typical household. This is because most mattress manufacturers have transitioned from making double-sided mattresses into single side ones. How do you know if your mattress is able to be rotated with received comfort? A bed will say so on the mattress label or in the warranty. However, if you as the user know that your mattress has been around for a very long time, it is more than likely safe to assume that your mattress is good for flipping. Certain memory foam mattresses that have been manufactured more recently do not need the traditional flipping as the layers of foam or cushioned material are strategically placed in order to provide the optimal amount of comfort as possible. The thicker bottom layer is often the base support system and the softer, more cushioned layers are at the top where the body makes the most contact. Flipping a mattress like this would result in reversing the layers, and the mattress may not feel as soothing as it originally did. The same goes for pocket mattresses or any type of innerspring mattress. Layers are strategically placed so that their user is least likely to feel the effects of the springs pushing into their back. Rotating would be fine to do, but any flipping to expose the opposite side would be less than preferred by the user. How to Flip or Rotate a Mattress So let's say that your mattress is eligible to be flipped or rotated. The expected flipping or rotating time is still expected to be every 3-4 months in order to prolong the life expectancy of the mattress. There are some brands though that recommend every six months and even others that require it only once a year. The first step is to be intentional about it. Scheduling a specific day to rotate or flip your mattress is good because it allows you to plan better. Giving yourself notice in advance actually reduces the stress in moving the mattress. There's no denying it; mattresses can be pretty dang heavy, especially if you're only one or two people. With master bedrooms or partners preferring those California King or King mattress sizes, clearing the space close to the mattress would prevent any unnecessary damage to your bedroom. This includes moving any lamps, nightstands, or movable bookshelves. Rules for Friendly Flipping Most often when you think of flipping the mattress, it's just flipping it right over from the side. This means they will technically have a new surface to sleep on, but the same area is still in the same spot. Flip your mattress instead from end to end. Lift your mattress from one end of the bed and flip it so the head end has become the new bottom side of the bed. This method consequently guarantees you rotating your bed 180 degrees at the same time; it's a win-win situation. Rotation Rules Starting with the bottom left corner of your mattress, pick it up and move it clockwise until that bottom left corner is on the top at the right. Certain brands will make it easy to rotate or flip your mattress by having some type of visual guide on the mattress. For example, Leesa mattresses have stripes on the foot of the bed. If rotated properly, the stripes will have moved to the head. Basic Guidelines for Mattress Flipping Depending on the material or type of mattress that yours is made of, there are different guidelines for how often to flip or rotate them. Here are the most common: Innerspring Mattress ● Flip it once every 3 to 6 months ● If you're more relaxed with time, then 2-4 times in a year Pillow-top Innerspring Mattress ● Rotate your pillow top mattress once every other month ● These mattresses have a designated side that faces up Memory Foam Mattress ● Brand matters; consult them to make sure they are the same on both sides ● Can be flipped but is mainly rotated Hybrid Mattresses ● Rotate these at least 4 times a year ● Caution: these mattresses are HEAVY. If you think you'll need help, ask for it Gel and Latex ● Designed for one side only, rotate Air Chamber Mattress ● No need to flip or rotate this type of mattress ● If you have a topper, these can be flipped or rotated When to Get a New Mattress Flipping and rotating your mattress won't keep your mattress holding up long enough to last your lifetime. At some point you will need to get a mattress if you want a guaranteed support system. If you find your mattress losing its comfort, or you by losing sleep, this is a sign it is probably better to just invest in a new mattress.

THEMATIC VOLCANO PHOTO GALLERY:
- (volcanic) dikes -
Dikes are imaginable as the veins of a volcano, the pathways of rising magma. A dike is called a -usually more or less verticalflat, sheet-like magma body that cuts unconformingly through older rocks or sediments.
Most dikes can be described as fractures into which magma intrudes or from which they might erupt. The fracture can be caused by the intrusion of pressurized magma, or vice versa, the rise of magma can be caused by and exploit existing or tectonically forming fractures. The point where a dike reaches the surface and erupts lava can be called a vent.
The interior of a typical large volcanic edifice is crossed by hundreds of dikes. Very often, dikes occur as swarms concentrated within zones of structural weakness within a volcanic edifice. This is nicely illustrated by the dikes exposed at the caldera cliffs of NE Santorini, where the interior structure of ancient stratovolcanoes (ca. 500-300 ka) of northern Santorini (Thera) is exposed (photos below). These dikes follow a structural trend of volcanism on Santorini (read more of Santorini's geology on the Santorini pages).

PROJECT CONTEXT - FIRST VISIT
The site at the beginning of the project is an empty and exposed open space surrounded on two sides by houses, and Manuel Antonio Matta street, a busy thoroughfare where cars and large vehicles pass by frequently.
A neighbour recalls the neighbourhood as being safe and happy, saying how now she misses having a place for children to play. When she was a girl, she used the existing slope to slide down using some wooden boards that they waxed with candle wax, using the topography as an inspiration for play.
This slope of the back of the site presented an opportunity to connect the open space with Guacolda Street, (which informally is present as a trodden path).
Currently the open space is used as a route to the main street from houses and as a space to park vehicles.
WHAT DO THE LOCAL CHILDREN THINK ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD?
WORKSHOP 0 - NEIGHBOURHOOD DERIVAS
The structure of the workshop contains two parts - firstly, for the children to develop a point of view about their area, through an exercise of 'Deriva' (a critical journey exploring the qualities of the site and neighbourhood), and an active analysis of the types of games they can play using the existing contextual spaces, to create the opportunity to demonstrate games which are played locally. At the end of the workshop we concluded with a review of the points that the children discussed, and with the children presenting this to the adults.
The activity begins with the dividing the children into distinct age groups. The three resulting groups are guided by JAB (together with the neighbourhood), Fundación Mi Parque (Foundation my Park) and Aldea participants.
Using techniques to record their new points of view about existing spaces, and implementing a unique and creative dialogue, the children created drawings, sketches, added information to the map and wrote words and phrases. In the brief time we were outside, we carried out a diverse exploration, led by the young particiants, using their range of senses to discover qualities and elements of the site and neighbourhood.
We began to extend these into the beginnings of an attitude of analysis and criticism of their local spaces that can grow in the following workshops of participatory design, with the idea of transferring the ideas of the children in the final design.
At the end of the workshop, the groups returned to the JAB community centre, quickly summarising their notes and discoveries, writing on large sheets of paper - on one side the negative aspects encountered and on the other the positive during the 'derivas' exercise. We hung on one of the walls both lists and one person from each group began to present their ideas and objections around the future square to the adults who were also on participating in an afternoon of discussion about the current site.
INVESTIGATING THE GAMES AND USES OF THE FUTURE PUBLIC SPACE
WORKSHOP 1 - DESIGN BY PLAYING: SCALE 1:1
To begin the workshop, the adults agree to participate by exploring the everyday qualities which give the site its identity, to use as a reference for the design. The focus is especially on the need for children to play there, with the objective to collect ideas about to create a place for intergenerational socialisation, encounters and creativity.
All together we walk to the empty site to carry out the exercise of designing in a collective and participatory way. In parallel to a discursive analysis of adults, the children explored the possibilities of play in the site via an active investigation with large materials.
Starting with a brainstorm, they discuss the potential games and uses they want for the future place. We then invite them to locate the specific area where they believe that each proposed use should be, the most obvious being the "climbing game" that would be carried out on the existing slope. They experiment using bamboo canes, fabrics, ropes, tyres, masking tape and are assigned an adult volunteer to can assist when required in the process.
Key factors that were highlighted as a result of the testing of the space with potential play strategies and interaction:
1. Light / Shadows / Vegetation
2. Wind / Breeze
3. Rise / Descend / Climb up / Traverse / Roll / Play
4. Community / Construction
5. Multi-functionality / multipurpose spaces
6. Hard / Soft surfaces
7. Working with organic / natural elements
After the creation of temporary constructions through play, the children came to a number of conclusions of key ideas / concepts which express the experience they had, and would like to see in the design of the space.
They reflect that they would like to have a place to: "have fun and enjoy", where "children can play together", "to be free and happy" and "experiment" with "a place for babies", "a car-free environment for the space"
HOW CAN WE MAKE A THREE DIMENSIONAL SKETCH THAT WE CAN INHABIT?
WORKSHOP 1.5 - DESIGNING WITH PLAY: ELEMENTS FOR INTERACTION
The first activity of the workshop is developed with sheets of paper arranged on a cardboard surface, which the participants used to individually draw their ideas for the future public space.
Inviting children to challenge their own points of view about what can and can not happen in the future space and the elements that could be placed in it, they realised their drawn ideas in playful constructions, accompanied by an adult. By working again with large materials, the site begins to divide up based on where the children decide to locate their experiments, speculating in parallel the potential multiple uses that they would like to incorporate.
These spatial sketches not only consider games for children but for example, for Pachi's design, he would include in the design of his swing an access ramp, so that people with disabilities would be able to enjoy using it. By thinking through making, the children formed new opinions about the possibilities of the site.
Specific ideas which were investigated as part of the exercise: Exploring and identifying the tectonics of the terrain, the introduction of a 'no parking sign', a railing to prevent vehicles from entering or parking, small gaps for people to enter, to plant areas of grass, to use a ladder on the slope, to create a ladder as an access route, establish a place to exercise, to have many ways to climb, poles inserted into the slope, and to have a viewpoint to see across the neighbouring hills.
WORKSHOP 2 - PHYSICAL DESIGN: EXPLORING THE PROPOSAL SPATIALLY
To better understand the characteristics of a preliminary design proposal for the project, we start the workshop by creating a 1: 1 (life-size) drawing of the design on the site with local children. By laying out the plan drawing of the proposal at full-size across the space using timber lengths, the participants could quickly get an understanding of the distribution of the elements to help us critically analyse it. Being on the site offered the real views, senses and connections to the context at a human scale in relation to the design, which we discussed and elaborated.
Using a second methodology of giant collaborative drawings, involving up to six children at once, we could collect the ideas inspired by questioning the design proposal. The resulting drawings communicate on many levels the elements, connections and sensations the children want to have, and how they want to re-design elements they feel they could improve. The resulting four key identities of the space are:
1. A multi-funcional / flexible long bench (a route providing flexible playground / a neutral space / a barrier from the road / zoning different uses of the space / seating for all)
2. Vertical games (timber construction that activates the slope)
3. Formal / central space of the pergola
4. Integration of nature with constructed elements.
The children proposed many fresh ideas and alternatives, that present a diverse set of perspectives. From these brainstorms it is possible to embed their active conciousness as users within the architectural discourse through the forms, uses, geometries and designed materialities they proposed.
CONSTRUCT A SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY, TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY
DAY OF CONSTRUCTION
The big day has arrived. The public space construction is almost complete as much of the preliminary ground work and heavy construction is ready, now the last step in the process is the participatory day, involving the neighbours that make up the community, adults, children and young people. The youngest participate alongside the adults, organised in groups focused on different tasks (gardening, tree planting, cleaning of the place, painting, etc.) that remain outstanding before concluding the creation of the project.
This relevant final touch helps to demonstrate the success of the participatory process, and embody the intergenerational nature of the space between the different actors in the neighbourhood, strengthening community bonds. Given that the future management and maintenance of the space will depend on collaborative neighbours, this fields multiple benefits. An example, a grandmother contributes to painting the long bench, alongside a young girl - surfaces that will receive phrases and words spoken by the children who participated in the design via stencils. These phrases and words present fragments of the revealing design process in which the children in workshops were understanding, contributing and devising, through drawings and the physical interaction with the own space, their evolving points of view of the potential of creating

Project Title: A brief early intervention for adolescent depression that targets emotional memories: a feasibility randomised controlled trial
This project aims to develop a brief easy-to-access psychological intervention for adolescents with depression that can be delivered in schools. This intervention will combine key components of current evidence-based practice in adults to (1) reduce the emotional power of memories from past distressing experiences and (2) improve mood, build hope and enhance engagement in important activities, through increasing the ability to recall positive memories and imagine future positive events. The primary outcome will be feasibility data (e.g. time taken to recruit participants and participant feedback on intervention acceptability) and initial data on changes in symptoms of depression.

CIGARETTE LITTER PREVENTION PROGRAM
Cigarette butts are the most littered item in America.
The 2011 Ocean Conservancy International Coastal Cleanup again identified cigarette butts as the number one most littered item, representing 32% of all debris counted.
And Keep America Beautiful's 2009 "Litter in America" research found the overall littering rate for cigarette butts is 65%, with tobacco products comprising 38% of all U.S. roadway litter. Download the fact sheet.
While seemingly insignificant, dropping cigarette butts to the ground, putting them in planters, and disposing of them in waterways is littering. And there are consequences. Cigarette butt litter is unsightly, costly to clean up, and harmful to waterways and wildlife.
In 2011, cities and towns that implemented Keep America Beautiful's Cigarette Litter Prevention Program had an average reduction in cigarette butt litter of 54%. For similar results in your community, use the Cigarette Litter Prevention Program to implement four proven strategies to reduce cigarette butt litter:
- Support enforcement of local litter laws, including cigarette litter.
- Change littering behavior through public education/messaging
- Install ash receptacles at "transition points," places where smokers must stop smoking before proceeding.
- Distribute pocket ashtrays to adult smokers
Cigarette Butts are litter too.

This study revisits the increase in wage inequality in Germany. Accounting for changes in various sets of observables, composition changes explain a large part of the increase in wage inequality among full-time workers. The composition effects are larger for females than for males, and increasingly heterogenous labor market histories play an important role. Furthermore, we find strong effects of education for males and strong effects of age and experience for females. Changes in industry and occupation explain fairly little. Extending the analysis to total employment confirms the basic findings, while revealing substantial negative selection into part-time work.

From ventile.co.uk:
Ventile can be either dry-cleaned as detailed below or hand washed using Grangers 30 Degree Cleaner
 - Professional dry-cleaning in: perchloroethylene, hydrocarbons. Mild cleaning process with stringent limitation of added humidity and/or mechanical action and/or temperature. Commercial stain removers on a solvent base may be used with some restrictions. A trail on a concealed part of the article is advisable beforehand.
 - We recommend hand washing in Grangers Pure Liquid Soap for Ventile, using the following procedure :
 1. Gently brush or sponge off any dirt or grit.
 2. Close the zip fastener
 3. Turn the garment inside out
 4. Hand wash in Grangers Pure Liquid Soap for Ventile.
 5. Ensure all residue soap is removed from the garment, re-rinse if necessary.
 6. Re-shape the garment on a hanger and allow to dry naturally avoiding direct sunlight.
 7. Iron carefully on a warm setting – this reactivates the DWR treatment.

Laser cutting in 3D
Everyone in the world suffers from some degree of functional fixedness, a proclivity to use tools only how they were meant to be use. A laser cutter, for example, is usually used to make flat, two-dimensional parts. [Seeker] broke out of this cognitive lock when he decided to create an illuminated 3D object with a laser cutter and a dozen acrylic sheets.
[Seeker]'s project is inspired by acrylic edge-lit LED signs. In these signs, a pattern is engraved on an acrylic sheet and a LED illuminates the panel from the side. When the light from the LED hits the engraving, it's refracted and produces a wonderful colorful pattern.
To make a 3D version of an edge lit display, [Seeker] subtracted a 3D model of a virus from a cube in Sketchup. This resulted in a hollow cavity that would refract light. After slicing up the model of the 3D cube, [Seeker] sent the files over to the laser cutter to produce a few dozen custom panels. [Seeker] glued them together, put the entire assemblage in front of a LED light, and admired the beauty of his new laser cut 3D virus.

Bazodee Connection 2006: In Conversation with Dr. Roz
Mas Camp ended each day in a meeting where issues such as racism and domestic abuse were candidly discussed. A psychologist and Executive Director of 'Dr. Roz's Healing Place', a women's shelter in Scarborough, Dr. Roz's informed perspectives underscored not only the nature of these blights but, more importantly, how such problems are factors in everyone's lives.
Racial harmony and anti-violence were the driving philosophies behind Bazodee Connection. These same ideals were also exemplified in Dr. Roz's richly decorated Queen costume, an incandescent vision of cultural unity and affirmative thought.
