Distress Inks Vs Oxide Inks
What Are The Inks In Question?
Distress inks by Ranger have been so popular for many years. So many uses for distress inks have made them a essential tool in most crafters stash. I would have to say that is true for my craft space. I was so happy with my distress inks. Then Ranger comes out with a new ink called Oxide Inks. And the craft world has gone crazy.
The basic difference in these two inks starts in how they are made.
Distress inks are described as acid free, non toxic, fade resistant, water based dye ink.
Oxide inks on the other hand is described as water reactive, dye and pigment ink fusion that creates an oxide effect when spayed with water. It also has a different opacity.
So while, like distress inks, they will react with water, there is a distinct difference. You may know that often with distress inks, if you add water or try to layer the inks, the results often become muddy. Oxide inks, on the other hand are opaque like a pigment ink. So you can actually see the different layers very clearly.
Like with distress inks, you will also be able to watercolor, emboss, stencil, and blend them.
But with the oxide inks, because of their pigment property, you can get a really nice stamped image. It is a crisp image rather than a smeary image that you might get with distress inks.
One important thing to know! It is important not to mix your oxide inks with your distress inks! Use separate blending tools and pads. Mixing these will destroy your inks!

Water Coloring With Distress And Oxide Inks
One of the best things that both distress and oxide inks have in common is their ability to be used with water. That property alone makes them worth the investment.
When you purchase any of your distress or oxide inks, it is always a smart idea to buy the reinker at the same time. That way you your ink pad will never run dry in the middle of a project. And if the color is discontinued, you will extend your use of that ink pad for some time.
Having that reinker on hand, means that you also have the ability to use it for another technique that you may have not thought of. That technique is water coloring with your reinkers.
Unless you use all the ink in one sitting, you will want to have a plastic paint palette with a lid. That way, if you walk away from your project, or want to save it, the ink in the palette will not run dry.
You only need a single drop for each color, so it is a very economical technique.
Water coloring with distress inks will give you a more traditional looking water color result. They will work better on lighter color papers.
On the other hand, darker colors of paper will react better to oxide ink water colors. The colors will be more muted than the distress inks.
 - Plastic lidded paint palette
 - Water color brushes with water wells
 - Distress ink or oxide ink reinkers
 - Water resistant inks like Stazon
 - Stamp sets
 - Watercolor paper
 - Heavy Cardstockover 110 lb
 - Some clean water in a jar or glass
 - Heat tool ( optional)
 1. Stamp your images with a water resistant ink and allow to dry. You can speed up the drying time with a craft drying tool. Do not get too close to the paper with the tool.
 2. Take a moment to clean your stamps
 3. Load the wells of your watercolor brushes with clean water. Press on the barrel of the brush to make sure that it is working.
 4. Place a single drop of the reinker into the well of your clean dry plastic palette.
 5. Dip the brush into the ink.
 6. Test your color on a piece of scrap paper before applying it to your project.
 7. Paint as you normally wood adding ink or a squeeze of water where you need to.
 8. When finished allow to air dry or use a heat tool to dry the project.
 - If you are going to leave the ink in the palette, you may want to mark what colors are in the wells on some paper taped to the lid.

Distress Ink Pads
Distress ink pads come in two sizes-1"by1" and 3" by 3" both are in black cases
Distress Inks
When Ranger first manufactured distress ink, it was and still is considered one of the most haled products in it's line.
One of the reason for the popularity of distress inks is that it creates an aged effect that never fades over time.
Another feature that made it so popular was that it could be blended with no virtual lines. With 61 colors available, you have an amazing range of color blends to chose from.
You have a choice of using the full sized pads or the minis. The minis are a 1" by 1" size. These have a terrific price point if you have little storage space and want to build your color option. They do also have the 3" by 3" if you are ready for the full size pad.
Dye ink is considered translucent. That means that you can see through the ink. While that may seem like a negative, in this case it makes the ink a dream for paper crafters. Because the ink is thin, you can apply different coats of different colors and still see the ink below it. This enables you to layer color.
Once the dye ink is applied to the surface it stays wet for a period of time. This makes the blending option a real option. because it is a dye ink. it will dry faster than the oxide inks/
The other property of this ink is it's reaction to water. When water is dropped on the ink, wet or dry, a new pattern emerges. That property could also be considered a downside. Once the project is dry, you do not want to get anything wet near it.
The other thing to consider is that color tones may vary. It works very well on any surface that tend to be lighter in color. But the color looks a lot less intense on darker backgrounds
Distress Ink Tip: Build up your color by using lighter colors and then build up to the darker shades
Shades Of Distress Inks
There are enough shades of distress inks to keep your color combinations fresh
Ways To Use Distress Inks
Because of the wonderful properties of distress inks there are a lot of ways to use them. These ideas will make you want to have the complete collection of ink pads.
Check out these ideas for your next project:
 1. Aging adds a grungy and distressed look to your paper. You can apply ink to the edges of any paper project with a sponge or blending tool. You can wrinkle a piece of paper by rolling it into a ball. Open the paper up and apply ink to the wrinkles.
 2. Stamping with distress ink creates a vintage look. While not a crisp look as other inks, distress inks can stamp well. You can stamp on any porous surface or paper
 3. Blending is perfect with distress inks Load ink onto your blending tool. Starting on the outside of your paper start blending in circular motions onto the paper. You can blend as many colors as you would like. There are endless combinations that can be created.
 4. Stenciling is another creative option with distress inks. Lay the paper on a craft mat, a piece of parchment or other covering to protect your work surface. Lay the paper on the mat cover with the stencil. Tape the stencil down with low tack tape. Using the same technique, apply the ink in circular motions. You can use just one color or many colors. When done remove the stencil and allow the project to dry.
 5. Reverse stenciling is another option. Instead of applying the ink through the stencil, you apply the ink on the stencil. Then you mist the stencil with water. Turn the stencil over and apply to the paper. Press on the stencil slightly. Yiou will get a custom water color effect creating a color negative pattern
 6. Water resist uses water to move the distress ink on the surface of the paper. Simply apply ink to the paper. Spritz water on the paper to create a pattern. Allow the paper to dry
 7. Emboss resist combines distress ink and embossing powder. Emboss your images on paper with white or off white embossing powder. Apply distress ink to the entire surface of the paper. Wipe the ink away with a paper towel or a baby wipe away from the embossed image. The paper will have color, but the embossed image will resist the distress ink.
 8. You can use distress ink like water color. Apply ink to a nonstick surface ( a craft mat or a piece of parchment paper laid over your work surface). Pick up the ink with a wet paint brush. Paint the image with the colors of your choice. You will want to use water color paper or a very heavy card stock for this technique. You will also want to use


How valid of an assumption is using mg/kg for drug dosage?

 Okay, basically, the more mass you have, the more drug that's needed to exert the same effect on you.
 But is it really linearly proportional like that?
 I mean, if you increase your body mass, you're not going to increase the amount of blood in your major arteries and veins. The amount of blood in them is fairly fixed (or is it?)
 Rather, you'll increase the amount of blood in more peripheral blood vessels. How much does this amount of blood scale with increased mass? Is fat tissue more vascularized (on average) than other types of tissue? Or not? Furthermore, is it a valid assumption that a drug will diffuse "equally" throughout the body, including all of the body's capillaries?
 2. jcsd
 3. Well, let's start simple, does a baby have the same size heart as a full grown adult? Does a baby have the same size arteries as an adult? and so on.
 Can you see my point here?
 4. Simfish
 Simfish 825

 Yes, I definitely see your point there, although it wasn't the picture I was looking at.
 What I was thinking about is more like this: Would a fully grown 150kg human adult have 3 times the blood volume of a fully grown human adult weighing 50kg?
 5. Well all of the living cells in your body require a blood supply. If you have a larger amount of said cells, would you need more or less in the way of blood transportation and blood volume?
 6. Simfish
 Simfish 825

 That's true. But you could divide blood volume by body mass for a set of humans. The real question is - is it a linear function? Or could it be more nonlinear than we realize? (if so, that could make the mg/kg metric less reliable than we think).
 7. Well if you know the average blood supply to 1kg of body mass, then it is a pretty linear function.
 You could take many samples of body mass at 1kg and check to ensure they all have roughly the same value.
 8. Simfish

 That is the intuitive way to generate the hypothesis. But we would also need to compare this value between different people - because thin people owe a greater proportion of their blood volume to their major blood vessels - whose volume cannot increase with body mass. It's entirely possible that it's a nonlinear function of body weight among adult individuals of a given height. (it's also entirely possible that the function could be non-linear for increases in height too, although I think this is less likely).

 Fluid spaces scale pretty dog-gone linearly with body size. There is a "standard" or "average" person for each group that calculations are done. For instance the "standard" male for age 17-34 is 70 Kg.
 60% of the 70 Kg mass is fluid or 42 L. Of the 42 L, approximately 35-45% (40% avg) will be intracellular fluid (ICF) or 28 L.
 Extracellular fluid (ECF)volume is 15-25% (20% avg) or approximately 14 L.
 Of that (the ECF) approximately 5% is plasma (3.5 L) and approximately 15% is interstitial fluid (ISF) or 10.5 L.
 For the given age group, these numbers make a very close approximation, so for the age group of 17-34 you can use these percents to calculate dosage when giving IV drugs or orals, etc. One must also consider things like the rate of clearance by the kidneys (weak acids and bases, like some drugs are (penicillin for example), are cleared rapidly by the kidneys unless given in excessive amounts).
 Of course, there is variation in the population either through physiological variation or pathology, such as dehydration or edema etc. Which can alter the fluid spaces and must be something the prescribing physician takes into consideration.
 MDs have these nice little charts and calculators for body size and drug prescribing, though most people fall within the bell curve and the averages can be use. Thankfully, this is something medical physiologists looked into :)

 The size of vasculature and amount of whole blood volume in said vasculature also scales very well with body size.

 That's not true for all drugssome psychoactive ones, in particular, do not have a dose-response that scales with body mass.
 13. Given the variety of drugs we have at our disposal, it's hard to generalize. Many drugs are water soluble, some are fat soluble, some cross the blood-brain barrier, some don't. Some are tissue bound, others protein bound, etc. A key concept is the volume of distribution which the relates the time integrated change in blood plasma levels from time [tex]t_{0}[/tex] in a theoretical volume following the administration of known doses by known routes. This is affected by all the above variables (and more) plus rates of excretion, deposition in fat and bone and the production of metabolites which may or may not be measured in the plasma depending on whether they are active metabolites or not. The link below is a fair summary to just give a sense of the issues involved.
 The recommendations for dosage by unit/kg are based on adjustments for these pharmacokinetic parameters, but prescribers must also estimate the fat/lean body mass ratios, level of hydration, renal and liver function, and other special situations that may exist. Dosages in children are also subject special guidelines.

Problem 1: Small Strain Elastic-Plastic Behavior
For small strains, the strain tensor is given by
In classical (small strain) rate-independent plasticity we start off with an additive decomposition of the strain tensor
Assuming linear elasticity, we have the following elastic stress-strain law

Answer the following questions. Show your derivations in a clear and step-by-step manner.
Part 1
Let be the equivalent plastic strain, defined as

Part 2
For an adiabatic process, the rate of change of temperature can be written as

Part 3
Write down the rate form of the elastic stress-strain law. Assume that deformations are small so that objectivity of the rates is not a concern.
Part 4
The consistency condition during plastic flow requires that
Write down an expression for the time derivative of using the chain rule.
Part 5
Use the consistency condition and the expressions you have derived in the previous parts to derive an expression for in terms of,,,, and.
Part 6
The continuum elastic-plastic tangent modulus is defined by the following relation

Use this condition and the relations you have derived in the previous sections to arrive at a nonlinear equation in that can be solved using Newton iterations.
Part 16
Let the nonlinear equation be. Recall that the Newton method requires that we iterate using the formula

Problem 2: Billet Upset Forging
Consider the isothermal upset forging of the cylindrical billet shown in Figure 2.
Assume that the dies are rigid. Also assume that sticking friction is in effect between the billet and the die faces when they are in contact.
The billet has an initial radius of 10 mm and its initial height is 30 mm. The shear modulus of the material is 384.6 MPa, the bulk modulus of the material is 833.3 MPa, the initial yield stress is 1 MPa and the linear hardening modulus is 3 MPa.
Model a quarter of the cylinder using symmetry boundary conditions.
Apply a compressive force of 1 kN to the die.

- Plot a curve of the die force (kN) versus the die stroke (mm). Compare your results with those shown in Simo and Hughes. Do you observe any volumetric locking?
(Use an implicit software to solve these problems.)
Problem 3: Taylor Impact Tests
Consider the impact of a cylindrical Taylor impact specimen on a rigid target. The undeformed and deformed profiles of the specimen are shown in in Figure 3.
The initial length of the specimen is 30 mm. The initial diameter is 6 mm. The initial velocity is 188 m/s. The initial temperature is 718 K.
The material of the specimen is OFHC copper. The properties of the bar are (in SI units):

The plastic deformation of the specimen is described by the Johnson-Cook model and plasticity. The Johnson-Cook model parameters are (in SI units):
- Use LS-DYNA to simulate the Taylor impact test. Assume that there is no friction between the anvil and the specimen. Plot the final deformed shape of the specimen and compare that with the experimentally determined shape given in the table below. What differences do you observe and why?

the denormal range instead of being flushed to zero as soon as the value is too small to represent with normalization. This default is the same default established by I64 at process startup. LIB$WAIT Problem and Solution
The use of LIB$WAIT in code ported to OpenVMS I64 can cause unexpected results. An example in C follows.
float wait_time = 2.0;
On OpenVMS I64 systems, this code sends an S_FLOATING into LIB$WAIT. LIB$WAIT expects an F_FLOATING, and gives a FLTINV exception.
LIB$WAIT can accept three arguments. The previous code sequence can be rewritten with LIB$WAIT using three arguments to run correctly on both I64 and Alpha systems. The following revised code works correctly when compiled without the /FLOAT qualifier:
_TAG_ __ia64
 int float_type = 4; /* use S_FLOAT for I64 */
 int float_type = 0; /* use F_FLOAT for Alpha */
 float wait_time = 2.0;
A better coding method is to include LIBWAITDEF (from SYS$STARLET_C.TLB) in your application and then specify the floating point data types by name. This code can be maintained more easily.
LIBWAITDEF includes the following symbols:
The following example shows how to include libwaitdef.h in the code and how to specify the floating-point data type names. This example also assumes that the program is not compiled with /FLOAT.
_TAG_
_TAG_ __ia64
 int float_type = LIB$K_IEEE_S; /* use S_FLOAT for IPF */
 int float_type = LIB$K_VAX_F; /* use F_FLOAT for Alpha */
 float wait_time = 2.0;
4.8.5 Incorrect Command Table Declaration
An incorrect declaration of a command table in code ported to OpenVMS I64 can cause unexpected results. For example, for an application, the Command Definition Utility is used to create an object module from a CLD file. The application then calls CLI$DCL_PARSE to parse command lines. CLI$DCL_PARSE may fail with:
%CLI-E-INVTAB, command tables have invalid format - see documentation
The code must be modified so that the command table is defined as an external data object.
For example, if in an application, on VAX and Alpha, the command table (DFSCP_CLD) is incorrectly declared in a BLISS module as:
This should be changed to
Or if it was in a FORTRAN module incorrectly declared as:
then it should be changed to
Similarly, in an application written in C, if the command tables previously were defined as follows:
int jams_master_cmd();
The code should be changed to be an external reference:
extern void* jams_master_cmd;
The changed, correct declaration works on all platforms: VAX, Alpha or I64.
4.8.6 Code that Uses Threads
OpenVMS I64 supports all the thread interfaces that have been supported on OpenVMS since thread support was first introduced. Most OpenVMS Alpha code that uses threads can be ported to OpenVMS I64 without change. This section describes the exceptions. The major porting issue for code that uses threads is the usage of stack space. I64 code uses much more stack space than does equivalent Alpha code. Therefore, a threaded program that works on Alpha might get stack overflow failures on I64.
The default stack size is larger on OpenVMS I64 to help alleviate overflow problems. If the application requests a specific stack size, then the change to the default will be irrelevant, and the application source code might need to be changed to request more stack. HP recommends starting with an increase of three 8-Kb pages (24576 bytes).
Another side effect of the increased stack size requirement is increased demand on the P0 address region. Thread stacks are allocated from the P0 heap. Larger stacks might cause the process to exceed its memory quotas. In an extreme case, the P0 region could fill completely, in which case the process might need to reduce the number of threads in use concurrently (or make other changes to lessen the demand for P0 memory).
HP recommends that you familiarize yourself with the most recent improvements to thread support in OpenVMS, as documented in the HP OpenVMS Version 8.2 Release Notes. One change to the POSIX Threads C language header file PTHREAD_EXCEPTION.H caused problems when porting an application that relied on its former behavior.
The DCL command THREADCP is not supported on OpenVMS I64. For OpenVMS I64, the DCL commands SET IMAGE and SHOW IMAGE can be used to check and modify the state of threads-related image header flags, similar to the THREADCP command on OpenVMS Alpha. For details, refer to the HP OpenVMS DCL Dictionary.
The THREADCP command is documented in the Guide to the POSIX Threads Library.
If you want to change the setting of threads-related image flags, you need to use the new command SET IMAGE. For example:
$ SET IMAGE/FLAGS=(MKTHREADS,UPCALLS) FIRST.EXE Thread Routines cma_delay and cma_time_get_expiration
Two legacy threads API library routines, cma_delay and cma_time_get_expiration, accept a floating point format parameter using the VAX F FLOAT format. Any application modules that call either of these routines must be compiled with either the /FLOAT=D_FLOAT or the /FLOAT=G_FLOAT qualifier to get VAX F FLOAT support. (However, if your application also uses double precision binary data, then you must use the /FLOAT=G_FLOAT qualifier.) For more information about floating point support, consult your compiler's documentation.
If a C language module (which uses either cma_delay or cma_time_get_expiration) is compiled by mistake in an IEEE floating-point mode, a compiler warning similar to the following will be displayed:
cma_delay (
%CC-W-LONGEXTERN, The external identifier name exceeds 31
characters; truncated to "CMA_DELAY_NEEDS_VAX_FLOAT______".
If an object file which triggered such a warning is linked, the linker will display an undefined-symbol message for this symbol. (If a linker-produced image was subsequently executed, the calls to these routines would fail with an ACCVIO.) These compiler and linker diagnostics are intended to alert you to the fact that these CMA routines require the use of VAX format floating-point values, and that the compilation was done in a manner that does not satisfy this requirement.
These routines are no longer documented in user documentation but are still supported for use in legacy applications.
4.8.7 Code With Unaligned Data
HP recommends that you align your data naturally to achieve optimal performance for data referencing. Unaligned data can seriously degrade performance on both OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64.
Data is naturally aligned when its address is an integral multiple of the size of the data in bytes. For example, a longword is naturally aligned at any address that is a multiple of 4, and a quadword is naturally aligned at any address that is a multiple of 8. A structure is naturally aligned when all its members are naturally aligned.
Because natural alignment is not always possible, OpenVMS I64 systems provide help to manage the impact of unaligned data references. Alpha and I64 compilers automatically correct most potential alignment problems and flag others.
In addition to performance degradation, unaligned shared data can cause a program to execute incorrectly. Therefore, you must align shared data naturally. Shared data might be between threads of a single process, between a process and ASTs, or between several processes in a global section.
Finding the Problem
To find instances of unaligned data, you can use a qualifier provided by most I64 compilers that allows the compiler to report compile-time references to unaligned data.
Table 4-1 Compiler Switches for Reporting Compile-Time Reference
Compiler Switch
Additional assistance, such as an OpenVMS Debugger qualifier to reveal unaligned data at run time, is planned for a future release.
Eliminating the Problem
To eliminate unaligned data, you can use one or more of the following methods:
 - Compile with natural alignment, or, when language semantics do not provide for this, move data to be naturally aligned. Where filler is inserted to ensure that data remains aligned, there is a penalty in increased memory size. A useful technique for ensuring naturally aligned data while conserving memory is to declare longer variables first.
 - Use high-level-language instructions that force natural alignment within data structures.
 - Align data items on quadword boundaries.
Software that is converted to natural alignment may be incompatible with other software that is running translated in the same OpenVMS Cluster environment or over a network. For example:
 - An existing file format may specify records with unaligned data.
 - A translated image may pass unaligned data to, or expect it from, a native image.
In such cases, you must adapt all parts of the application to expect the same type of data, either aligned or unaligned.

text: This study evaluates white muscle growth and in vivo cell proliferation during a fasting and refeeding trial, using pejerrey (Odontesthes bonariensis) as animal model, in order to better understand the cellular basis governing catch-up growth. Experiments consisted of two groups of fish, a control group continuously fed ad libitum, and a group fasted for 2 weeks and then fed for another 2 weeks. We examined how the formation of new muscle fibers and their increase in size were related to muscle precursor cell (MPC) proliferation under both experimental conditions. During fasting, the number of 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine-positive (EdU+) cells decreased along with myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) mRNA levels related to myoblast proliferation and differentiation, and the muscle stem cell marker Pax7 mRNA level increased. Analysis of myomere cross-sectional area, distribution of muscle fiber sizes and number of fibers per myomere showed that muscle hypertrophy but not hyperplasia was inhibited during fasting. Both higher igf2 mRNA level and the persistence of cell proliferation could be supporting new myofiber formation. In contrast, an exacerbated MPC proliferation occurred during catch-up growth, and this increase in cell number could be contributing to the growth of both pre-existing and newly formed small fibers. The findings that some MPCs proliferate during fasting and that muscle growth mechanisms, hyperplasia and hypertrophy are differentially regulated could help to explain why re-fed fish could grow at faster rates, and why they return to the lost growth trajectory.

School Employees May Give Insulin Shots to Children With Type 1 Diabetes, California Courts Rules
The California Supreme Court ruled that public school employees may administer insulin shots to diabetic students.
The court found that California law permits trained but unlicensed school employees to administer the shots when a school nurse is unavailable, which is increasingly common in public schools across the state.
The decision settles a legal battle between the parents of diabetic students, backed by the ADA, and the California Nurses Association, which maintains only licensed nurses should be allowed to handle the task in public schools.
The decision reversed an appeals court ruling that found state law does not permit unlicensed school personnel, such as teachers or administrators, to give insulin shots to diabetic public school students.

Alternative Landfill Technologies Training Courses
Training > Landfill Technologies > Alternative Landfill Technologies
The Alternative Landfill Technologies training courses address design, evaluation, construction, and post-closure care associated with alternative final covers.
Characterization, Design, Construction, and Monitoring of Bioreactor Landfills
Bioreactors are landfills where controlled addition of non-hazardous liquid wastes, sludges, or water accelerates the decomposition of waste and landfill gas generation. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, there are approximately 2,500 permitted municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) currently in operation in the United States. Approximately 10% of these facilities will involve retrofitting bioreactors and commence leachate recirculation on existing landfill infrastructures. Current trends indicate that 10-15 new landfills are being constructed each year, with 2-4 facilities being constructed as bioreactors.
The bioreactor process enhances gas generation that can provide a revenue stream and decrease the contaminant load in the leachate. Both of these activities reduce the potential risks associated with the landfill while increasing its long-term stability. When evaluating the bioreactor landfill concept, three additional advantages can be identified:
- Decomposition and biological stabilization of the waste in a bioreactor landfill can occur in a much shorter time frame than occurs in a traditional "dry tomb" landfill
- Bioreactors reduced leachate handling costs
- Accelerated waste stabilization reduces the amount of post-closure care that may be necessary for the facility
This training, based on the ITRC Characterization, Design, Construction, and Monitoring of Bioreactor Landfills (ALT-3, 2006), teaches the principles used to make critical decisions faced by regulatory agencies, consultants, and industry during permitting, operating, and monitoring a bioreactor landfill. This training also provides a general understanding of the biological degradation of solid wastes under aerobic and anaerobic waste conditions and the degradation products associated with each process.
Design, Installation, and Monitoring of Alternative Final Landfill Covers
Solid and hazardous waste landfills are required by federal, state, and/or local regulations to cover waste materials prior to or as part of final closure. The ITRC Alternative Landfill Technologies team believes that the solid and hazardous waste regulations clearly provide a mechanism to permit, design, construct, and maintain landfills with alternative cover design. Several primary types of alternative landfill covers have been proposed for solid, hazardous, and mixed waste landfills; however, the design is in the science and engineering and should not be categorized or prescriptive. Alternative covers have been constructed and are fully operational at industrial waste, construction debris, municipal solid waste, and hazardous waste landfills. Alternative final covers (AFCs) may be used on bioreactor, conventional, or other types of landfills. Types of AFCs may include, but are not limited to, asphalt covers, concrete covers, capillary barrier covers, and evapotranspiration (ET) covers.
This training and associated guidance focus on ET covers and the decisions associated with their successful design, construction, and long-term care. ITRC developed the guidance document Technical and Regulatory Guidance for Design, Installation and Monitoring of Alternative Final Landfill Covers (ALT-2, 2003) and this associated training course to provide tools and resources when considering the application of alternative final landfill covers. The ITRC guidance and training course focus on a class of landfill final covers ('alternative' covers) as integral parts of an overall landfill system that differ in both design and operational theory from those designs prescribed in RCRA regulations.
Evaluating, Optimizing, or Ending Post-Closure Care at Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
Since 1988, more than 6,100 municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills have closed (see _URL_ Determining when the regulatory post-closure care (PCC) period can be ended for a permitted solid waste disposal facility is one of the greatest challenges facing the solid waste industry in recent times. Using a performance-based process, conducted on a site-specific basis, to determine if a closed landfill poses a threat to human health and the environment provides information necessary to defensibly conclude that the closed landfill does not pose a threat and allows termination of the regulatory post-closure care period.
This training, based on ITRC'sTechnical and Regulatory Guidance:Evaluating, Optimizing, or Ending Post-Closure Care at Municipal Solid Waste Landfills Based on Site-Specific Data Evaluations (ALT-4, 2006), describes a method to evaluate the performance of Post Closure Care (PCC) at a landfill and determine when leachate recovery, landfill gas management, groundwater monitoring and cap maintenance can be reduced or even ended based on threats (to human health and the environment) posed by the closed landfill. The training and document describe "custodial care" as those requirements the property owner must follow after PCC has ended. They include de minimus site management and care activities including meeting end-use obligations, maintaining institutional control, controlling access, satisfying local ordinances, and fulfilling other applicable regulations and are included as deed restrictions or other enforceable means which follow all land transfers. The training and document focus on PCC of municipal solid waste landfills. However, PCC is relevant to closed sites and facilities managed in accordance with a variety of regulatory programs including RCRA, CERCLA, Solid Waste, Brownfields, Voluntary Cleanup, mined land reclamation, and others. Solid waste professionals and other landfill decision makers (e.g., owners; operators; consultants; Federal, state, and local government; and the public) should attend this training.

CACNA Bible Institute
The initial call of Jesus Christ to men was to be spiritually reproductive: "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." His final command, that of the Great Commission, also challenged followers to spiritual reproduction. This communicates the vision which the Bible Institute trains and equips students to fulfill.
The Institute provides education with a solid Christian foundation where you will gain the values, knowledge, and skills you'll need for success in ministry and in every aspect of life.
Through its programs and services, the Institute educates men and women who will make important contributions to their local churches, the whole church as a body, and their communities, while they follow their chosen ordained path with zeal as one called by the Lord to glorify God, and thereby fulfill the Great Commission.
The Institute will:
- Emphasize excellence in teaching and learning.
- Foster competencies in communication, critical thinking, and information literacy.
- Ensure competency in research, and professionality where appropriate.
- Promote the synthesis of spiritual knowledge so that there might be a maturing of spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical behavior.
- Encourage a commitment to the Christian life, one of personal integrity, sensitivity to the needs of others, social responsibility, and active communication of the Christian faith, and, as it is lived out, a life that leads people to Jesus Christ as the Lord of the universe and their own personal Savior.

To provide for maximum flexibility in adding software modules, your module is dynamically loaded as a shared object at run time. The list of loadable objects (modules) is maintained in a system configuration database file called OWconfig.
By default, Calibrator Tool reads OWconfig from the /usr/openwin/server/etc directory. If it does not find the OWconfig file or the modules in it that it is looking for, it reads the OWconfig file from /etc/openwin/server/etc.
This chapter explains how to create, insert, and remove OWconfig file entries for calibration modules. The chapter also describes how the server uses the information in OWconfig entries to locate a dynamically loadable module.
OWconfig is a database for various dynamically loadable objects. It not only can contain entries for calibration but also can include entries for other extensions and X Window System modules. The guidelines in this chapter pertain specifically to modules that interact with Calibrator Tool.

Growers across the state of North Carolina are being been trained by N.C. Cooperative Extension agents using the N.C. Fresh Produce Safety Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Training Curriculum. The tiered educational program, consisting of nine training modules (broken into two tiers), teaches growers how to minimize food safety risks. Growers and buyers of fresh produce can search the GAPs Trained Grower Directory by crop to view a list of growers who've completed the training and sell that crop.
GAPs Training Curriculum Background
Growers who completed Tier 1 training received at least seven hours of instruction relating to Modules 1 to 6. Modules 1 through 6 address GAPs that are directly related to field production and harvest. The training includes an introduction to common foodborne pathogens and diseases as well as recognizing points of potential contamination, proper use of biosolids as a nutrient source, effective hand-washing procedures, packing facility cleanliness and verifying water quality for field application and postharvest handling.
Growers who completed Tier 2 training received at least seven hours of instruction relating to Modules 7 to 9, plus risk identification and management workshops. Modules 7 through 9 address risk identification and management issues including transportation and traceability, product recalls, liability and insurance options, and crisis communications.
GAPs Trained Grower Directory
Search the database by commodity to locate producers who have completed the N.C. Fresh Produce Safety Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Training Curriculum. The grower entry includes business name, location, contact information and additional crops grown.

I recently wrote about my 4-year old who only drinks milk from her straw sippy cup wondering when to give them up. A number of you mentioned you had no idea either. So I asked around, did some investigative work and discovered 5 important things parents need to know about starting, using and stopping sippy cups.
1. Start them early: Babies usually start solids by the time they're 6 months. This is also the time it is okay to introduce water and (diluted) juice. It's a good idea to get a few starter sippy cups, with handles, lids and a hard spout, to get your child used to the idea that liquids (including milk) can come in something other than a bottle or breast.
While babies will have fun throwing these cups for a while, by 9 months many will start drinking from it. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends children stop the bottle and drink from sippy cups by one year of age.
2. Use sippy cups wisely: Once your child is using a sippy cup you need to use them wisely. According Healthy Children, a website powered by the AAP, avoid using sippy cups as a pacifier or allowing kids to sip on them throughout the day unless its filled with water. Sprout sippy cups filled with milk, juice or juice drinks, allow sugar (even natural sources) to stay in the mouth longer and increase the risk of tooth decay.
This may be why cavities have increased by 15 percent from 1994 to 2002 in children 2-5 years old according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
3. Drop the sprout cups ASAP: Traditional sippy cups are only supposed to be used as a short transition to real cups. Overuse of sippy cups can cause more than dental caries, they can also contribute to speech difficulties.
Because children suck on sippy cups the way they do bottles, if used too long, it can change the position of the tongue and teeth, potentially causing lisps and articulation problems. According to this Web MD article, the traditional sippy should only be used for about a month. Using cups with a straw are much better for speech development and dental health.
Bottom line: switch to a straw cup as soon as you can.
4. Encourage kids to drink from regular cups: The AAP recommends teaching children to start drinking from regular cups between 12 and 15 months. Once children master this, you might want to use regular cups at meals and straw cups for water on the go.
Another drawback to young children sucking for too long is something called Oral Myofunctional Disorder (OMD). According to the International Association of Orofacial Myology's website, the symptoms include one of the following:
1. abnormal thumb, finger, lip, and tongue sucking habits
2. an inappropriate mouth-open lips-open resting posture problem
3. a forward interdental rest posture of the tongue problem
4. a forward rest position of the tongue against the maxillary incisors problem
5. a lateral, posterior interdental tongue rest posture problem
6. inappropriate thrusting of the tongue in speaking and/or swallowing.
These abnormal habit patterns, functional activities, and postures can open the dental bite beyond the normal rest position. This can result in a disruption of dental development in children and over-eruption of selected teeth in adults.
A prime example of an OMD, familiar to all pediatricians and dentists, is a retained sucking habit or use of a sippy cup. While it is tempting to ignore such habits since some children do outgrow them, many children do not spontaneously discontinue noxious habits and will need help in eliminating the habits.
5. Part with sippy cups between 2 and 3 years: According to the AAP Pediatric Nutrition Manual, children are developmentally ready to give up sippy cups by 2 to 3 years of age. Will it hurt to use them to prevent spills once and awhile? Probably not. If your child uses an open cup and some sippy cups with straws it is probably okay.
But just like we advance textures with our babies and let toddlers use utensils, we have to do the same with drinking. It's an important and overlooked part of development.
Anyone having trouble getting your child to give up the sippy cup habit?

A Day With a Data Scientist
Data Sciences Blog Article Part 2 QAD DynaSys
We are back with Dr. Diadie Sow for the second part of our series dedicated to Data Science. In the previous post, he discussed the rise of the data science profession. In this article, we will talk about what a Data Scientist such as Diadie is doing on a daily basis.
What qualifies a "good day at work" in the field of data science?
It is difficult to define any given day as a "good day" or a "bad day" coming from someone who is passionate about data science. However, it is important to keep in mind that data quality issues can have a huge impact on data science projects. When this happens, my colleagues and I must find the exact root of the problem to be able to understand and correct errors. Oftentimes, this can be very expensive and time-consuming. It is important to know that incorrect or inconsistent data will always lead to poor performance and/or false conclusions. When confronted with datasets with a lot of quality issues and a dataset supplier who is unable to relay accurate information, you can almost always count on there being delays and maybe even some frustrations. Conversely, properly constructed and interesting datasets make for a very enjoyable day.
Do most days follow a routine or does every day tend to be different?
This definitely depends on where you work. If you are a consultant working for a company that has set projects in various fields such as image classification, face detection, natural language processing, etc., or as part of a very active R&D team, no there is little to no routine. Every day is different and has its own set of challenges and discoveries. Otherwise, yes, a bit of a routine is a given. As the industry average goes, the majority of data scientists tend to stay around two to three years with a company if they are not actively involved in their R&D processes.
What percentage of your time is spent researching and educating yourself about new methods and tools?
I tend to follow the latest developments in the field via my LinkedIn contacts, on Kaggle.com, and with the publication of new packages and new books, to name a few. I also try to keep tabs on other happenings, such as natural language processing (NPL), for example, even if certain topics may be a bit removed from my current job. My evenings at home are often reserved for research and my own personal training. It is hard to give an exact percentage, but there is no denying that the field of data science moves incredibly quickly. As a researcher with a heavy mathematics background, I am interested in both the methods and the execution, specifically in the form of the math behind the latest innovations; this is very important in order to be a successful data scientist. So, all of these reasons are why training and education constitute a good percentage of my time.
How team-oriented is your work, or do you mainly work alone?
My working time is split between projects with our clients and the development of our software solution. For the latter, I collaborate heavily with the demand planning team and the manager regarding the reflection of the functionalities to be added within continuous improvement. Customer projects require less intervention from other colleagues, but there is still a need for teamwork, notably when dealing with clients' data recovery.
In the next episode of our series dedicated to Data Science, Diadie will explain how Data Sciences help to improve Supply Chains.
Diadie Sow
Diadie has a master degree in applied mathematics and computer sciences. He also obtained a master of science in pure mathematics, a master 2 in applied mathematics with option "Optimization, game theory and modeling in economics "at Polytechnique X and a master in mathematical modeling with option "Optimization and operational research" at the university Paris 1-Panthéon Sorbonne. After that, Diadie got a PHD in computer engineering about "Prognosis of complex systems for proactive performance management" at l'Ecole des Mines at Alès. He started to work on Machine Learning there and is now continuing his work at QAD DynaSys, where he "co-experiment" machine learning clustering and predictive algorithms with customers in order to bring, in near future, new machine learning features to our DSCP solution.

KYsearo is one of the specially authorised partner of TOYOBO in China. We use TOYOBO hollow fiber RO membrane to desalinate water in large systems of above 200TPD.TOYOBO hollow fiber RO membrane is the latest technological reverse osmosis membrane,its fresh water production capacity is 10 times than usual spiral wound membrane,so many seawater desalination successful huge projects are using this kind of membrane in Middle East area, and have kept 7 to 11 years working without replacing membranes. Kysearo takes 2000 TPD seawater desalination system as a group, all larger tons systems are designed upon this group, for example, 10000 TPD would be consisted of 5 groups of 2000 TPD system.
|The differences between Hollow Fiber and Spiral Wound RO Membrane|
1. More Simple Process Than Before
2. Membrane structure
3. Water production capacity
Hollow Fiber RO Membrane : Spiral Wound RO Membrane = 10:1
Hollow Fiber RO Membrane is wound efficiently in a cross-wound way without using additional base materials, The cross winding increases the hollow fiber spacing and improves its fouling resistance to achieve minimum pressure loss and uniform water flow, this way provide about 10 times the surface area compared to spiral wound elements.
This greater surface area is a key factor to product water capacity, therefore, hollow fiber RO membrane product about 10 times water capacity compared to spiral wound RO membrane.
4. How often change the RO membranes
Spiral Wound RO Membrane: 2~3 years
Hollow Fiber RO Membrane : 7~11 years
Here is average life comparison table of some large projects use Hollow Fiber RO Membrane.

Old Apostolic Church Exposed
The following article was written by Dean Ministries.
One church that is fairly popular in South Africa is the Old Apostolic Church (OAC). My father-in-law used to belong to it and I've known people who are practising members. On the outside it appears Christian enough, but one should never go by the feeling in life! Once I was told by a follower: "I'm Old Apostolic, and no we are not a cult!" without my ever having mentioned the c-word. So let us look at what the church is about, and see why, in my view, they most definitely are!
First though, I will explain their origins, hierarchy and initial values. I'll do my best to make it as simple as possible; you will see how this is a church born out of disagreement and still plagued by schisms (splits).
Church Origins
The OAC has its roots in the Catholic Apostolic Church (formed around 1831, but after its last "apostle" died in 1901 it went into decline) which followed the Nicene Creed of 325AD (Catholic) and, like the OAC, is not an offshoot of the Reformation (or, Protestantism) but of Irvingism.
There was such a movement too in Europe; notably Germany and The Netherlands. After 3 Catholic Apostolic "apostles" died in 1855, the apostolate declared there was no reason to call new ones. They called 2 substitutes (coadjutors) in 1860. But in 1862 another "apostle" was called in Germany by the "prophet" Heinrich Geyer. The "apostles" did not agree with this, so the largest part of the Hamburg congregation, along with their Bishop F.W. Schwartz, were excommunicated. From this came the Allgemeine Christliche Apostolische Mission (ACAM) in 1863. In The Netherlands it led to the Apostolische Zending, later called Hersteld Apostolische Zendingkerk(HAZK). This later became the New Apostolic Church.
In 1899, Carl George Klibbe came to South Africa to do mission work for the New Apostolic Church. He was ordained by "apostle" H.F. Niemeyer of Australia as an apostle. Due to the personality cult (when someone uses propaganda to elevate themselves) of "chief apostle" Hermann Niehaus, Niemeyer separated himself from the German branch and formed the Apostolic Church of Queensland. The South African branch also separated from the German branch, and henceforth became the New Apostolic Church (NAC). The reasons they did this:
1) Niehaus' ban on prophetic gifts (visions, dreams and prophecies),
2) Niehaus' refusal to appoint Prophets,
3) Niehaus' acceptance of the literal interpretation of the Bible,
4) establishment of the office of Chief Apostle, and
5) personality cult that formed around the Chief Apostle.
Hermann Niehaus tride to remove Carl George Klibbe and appointed Wilhelm Schlaphoff as "apostle" instead. Klibbe was excommunicated in 1913. So, for a while there were two NACs in South Africa. Eventually they came to an agreement in 1926. Carl Klibbe's church would be called Old Apostolic Church (OAC), Schlaphoff's would become the New Apostolic Church (NAC). Today the OAC has around 2 million followers in Africa (South Africa, Swaziland, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi) and 30,000 in Europe; branches are in USA, Canada, UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.
Their Structure
The OAC's leadership is a body called the Conference of apostles. It consists of all active and retired "apostles", led by a chairman who is appointed for a term of two years; he may only serve two terms.
The OAC is divided into nine districts covering Southern Africa and Germany. Each district is run by the District Office, where the "apostles" work from. Each "apostle" has an Apostleship which includes a few Overseerships. Such an Overseership is led by an Overseer, Evangelist and Prophet. It is divided into many Elderships.
An Eldership will cover one or many congregations and has many Priests and Underdeacons. The Priest is responsible for the spiritual welfare of the followers, and assisted by the Underdeacon who does Bible study and testimony.
Ministers are appointed and ordained by an "apostle" by having hands laid on them. They get no theological training; but they believe that by breaking bread within the church, they will get all their doctrine and scriptures from that. While I do not believe that a church minister "needs" a theology degree, and I have known people who have a degree but still lack simple knowledge, surely a person, who is responsible for the development and growth of a congregation, should at least have some understanding? Understanding is something the Bible holds paramount! If only it were so easy to just break bread and instantly get all the knowledge you needed!
What are their Values?
The OAC rejects ecumenism, or the compromise of the Word of God with other churches. Now, this is a good thing – many Protestant churches are compromising the Word to appease the wicked world, or even to create unity with the Roman Catholic Church. However, the followers are taught that the OAC is the only true church – this is where it gets tricky. Officially they will say that they do not consider believers to be unsaved if they are outside of the OAC; but at the same time, "it is the only true church", so by implication alone it does just that. Just to re-iterate who can be saved:
Note how the verse says "whosoever" – an old word meaning "whoever".Anybody who calls upon the name of Jesus shall be saved. If the OAC or any other church were the "only true church" and salvation were only within it, the Bible would say this. But it does not! Also worth noting is that clergy and followers are often hostile towards other churches and ministers. They believe that only the members of the OAC will go to heaven (Catechism Question 2 & 3).
As for politics, followers of the OAC are forbidden from partaking in politics. They are allowed to vote (because forbidding them would violate the law), but they are not allowed to join a political party or stand for election. This is similar to Jehovah's Witness teaching. There were two further schisms (separations) in 1972 and 1968, leading to the Reformed Old Apostolic Church and Twelve Apostles Church of South Africa, simply because some people wanted to get involved in politics.
The Old Apostolic Church's view on non-participation in politics has led to two schisms. In 1972 several coloured members formed the Reformed Old Apostolic Church, and in 1968 several black members formed the Twelve Apostles Church of Africa.
Regarding Bible Versions, the OAC only uses the KJV in English (I agree with that!); or Afrikaans 1933/53, or the German 1912 version of the Luther Bible. The early OAC used the Dutch Statenbijbel until 1933, when the first Afrikaans Bible translation came out.
What do they believe?
Enter the cult status! The core difference between the OAC and other churches is that it reads the Bible "spiritually", rather than literally. In other words, you as a believer cannot simply buy a Bible and start reading it. You see, every word that is written in the Bible is inspired by God, and for them this means it is deemed too holy to be read in the normal way. So whatever is written in the Bible, there has to be a hidden "spiritual" meaning for every word.
Let me give you an example of a follower's problem that I was faced with:
What you just read now is the part of Genesis 1, which describes the creation on the fourth day. If you simply read it as it is written, it is clear that on the Fourth Day, God created light; the sun and the moon.
So what did the OAC follower in question believe it said? Well, that on the Fourth Day, God created good and evil, because good is symbolised as light and evil is symbolised as darkness. Problems:
1) This assumes that what the Bible says is different from what it actually means;
2) Putting the presence of evil on the Fourth Day, when God said after the six-day creation that everything was "very good", that would make God a liar;
3) There was no death until Adam sinned. By evil, death came into the world. So if evil is present on the Fourth Day, this will lead to death before sin (just like the Gap Theory) and this is heresy.
4) How would that follower possibly understand the creation account by looking for hidden meanings?
To show further how reading the Bible "spiritually" is not only wrong, but in some cases impossible, here is an exercise. Try to interpret the following verses in any way you wish

Mapping it out with CANS-Y-LAND
Of the TCOM suite of tools, the most widely used tool is the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment (CANS). The CANS is a communimetric measurement tool that utilizes direct feedback from the youth, family & other team members to identify the actionable needs & strengths of the youth & family in developing and informing the treatment plan. While the tool is proven to be successful and helpful to many people, we always want to make sure that clinicians, case workers, and children find the CANS to be engaging and accessible. This desire is what led Lisa, Caitlin, Dan, Vince and Grace to create CANS-Y-LAND.
© Child Guidance Resource Centers 2018
CANS-Y-LAND is a step by step process of how the CANS is used at the Child Guidance Resource Centers (CGRC). Based on a popular board game, Candyland, CANS-Y-LAND aims to add transparency and help everyone know what is next in their "rainbow road" of care. On the map, you will see stopping points, connection points, road blocks, and maybe even bridge crossings. The creators chose Candyland as the theme/inspiration because—in keeping with the TCOM goal of creating a common language among systems of care—it is a format that is recognizable. It helps everyone involved see how the process works from beginning to end. The goal of this resource is to increase the ability and willingness of all parties to engage in the process. CANS-Y-LAND makes it possible for every therapist at CGRC, parent, and child to see where they are along this road and what their role is in the process. Overall, it brings clarity to a process that can often be long and confusing.
Under the oversight of the CANS Visionary Taskforce, Drs. Andy Kind-Rubin and Brianna Matey and their team as well as the CANS Communications Taskforce are continuing to create additional resources to engage all staff and develop a common language around services and the care process. Towards that end each CGRC site will soon have their own "CANS Corner" to serve as an ongoing resource. The CANS Corner will be complete with copies of the CANS-Y-LAND, CANS Manual and forms, contact information, training resources, and more.
CANS-Y-LAND and the work being done at CGRC is an excellent embodiment of the goals and values of TCOM. It is not an aspirational map, but fully reflective of the agency's work. Only with transparency and communication will we be able to ensure that the people served are treated as partners in all decisions that are made.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with an answer to how hummingbirds manage to fly in pouring rain. New slow-motion photography shows the tiny birds shed water much like dogs do, by whipping their heads back and forth. But hummingbirds do it mid-flight and really fast, reaching a G-force of 34, more than five times faster than a Formula One racing car. Researchers at U.C. Berkeley say this finding could help them develop micro air vehicles or improve the spin cycle of a washing machine. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.


Kid-Friendly Sushi Rolls
kid-friendly japanese sushi rolls
Remember, practice makes perfect! If this is your first time making sushi, I suggest you start small. Cut the nori sheet in half, and use just one filling. As you feel more comfortable with the process, use the whole nori sheet, and more fillings. To get started, you need just a few ingredients like cucumber, smoked salmon, and sushi rice. You can make a sushi roll with any ingredient combination that you can think of.
For the Sushi Rice:
 - 2 rice cooker cups Japanese short-grain rice (or "sushi" rice)
 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
For the Filling:
 - ¼ cup sesame seeds
 - 1 small cooked and peeled sweet potato, sliced into strips
 - 1 cucumber, sliced into thin strips
 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
 - 4 ounce packet smoked salmon
Hand-dipping Water:
 - ¼ cup water
 - 1 tablespoon vinegar
Everything Else:
 - 5 sheets nori (seaweed)
 - Soy sauce or tamari, for serving
 1. Follow the instructions on the rice package for cooking your rice, whether in a rice cooker or pot.
 2. Make the hand-dipping water by combining water and vinegar in a small bowl. Coat your hands with this water to prevent the rice from sticking.
 3. Place the nori sheet on a piece of parchment paper, with the longest side of the nori closest to you. The shiny side of the nori should be facing DOWN.
 4. Wet your hands and the inside of a 1-cup measuring cup with the vinegar water. Scoop a scant 1/2 cup of sushi rice into your hands. Place the rice on the nori and spread around, leaving 1 inch of space along the top edge of the nori. Wet your hands in the vinegar water if the rice starts to stick. Spread on more rice, if needed.
 5. Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the rice. Then place the filling (sweet potato, cucumber, red pepper, and smoked salmon) in the middle of the rice. Each ingredient should have its own line.
 6. In one swift motion, roll the nori over each ingredient until your land right at the edge of the rice. With the parchment paper still around the roll, gently shape and tighten the roll into a square or round. Finally, remove the parchment paper and seal the edge of the nori with the water-vinegar solution. Squeeze and tighten the roll just one more time!
 7. To cut the sushi roll, wet your knife under running water or with a damp towel. Cut the roll in half in a sawing motion (push and pull). Wet the knife again and cut each half into 3 or 4 pieces.
 8. Serve with soy sauce or tamari, and your kids favorite steamed vegetables – Ayla and Cora love broccoli dunked in soy sauce!
Store leftover, unused nori in a sealed, air-tight bag, or else it will stale.

Hidden Demon Traps In Seal #1
A hidden hexagram is embedded within the Pyramid symbol. The Eye of Horus (Eye of Satan) forms the top part of the first triangle and the sides of the pyramid form the sides of the triangle. The second triangle has another "eye" within it, formed by the "O" of Novus Ordo Seclorum. The "A" of Annuit and the "S" of Coeptis form the outer points of the second triangle. ("Secrets of the Illuminati" by Doc Marquis).
Hidden symbols are extremely important to the occultist. A hidden symbol becomes a "Magical Symbol" capable of great power. As explained in the book, "Magic Symbols", "The true magic symbol is an image which hides an inner meaning". In other words, power is generated when the uninitiated cannot grasp the hidden symbolic meaning. Occultists have believed for centuries that their very secrecy gives them immense power.
However, this hexagram is surrounded by a circle, making it a demon trap. Thus, a witch can use it to conjure up a demon to work on behalf of the United States of America to achieve the New World Order.

Do your piece to fix TIOBE or stop talking about it
Many people talk about TIOBE and how it's bad, or irrelevant, or broken, or many other vague descriptors of why it should be ignored.
All people talking about TIOBE miss one crucial point: It is software, it has an algorithm, and it is not "bad", it is buggy. That means it can be fixed.
So either fix it, or stop talking about it.
Here's why you can fix it
The TIOBE algorithm is to search for "[language] programming" on a number of search engines, then apply a weight to the resulting count, based on the search engine, and sum the results up to get a score.
They do this because C is a letter, Ruby is a stone, Python is a snake (or a comedy troupe). If they searched only for those words they'd get a lot of trash results. Adding programming means they will mostly get results that contain the phrases "[language] programming" or "[language] programming language". Especially the latter is important, since people talking about the other languages often add "programming language" to disambiguate; while Perl developers have no reason to do so (since the word is mostly unique), and simply don't, thus removing themselves from what TIOBE can find.
Here are the top four search engines and their weights:
- Google: 28%
- Blogger: 28%
- Wikipedia: 13%
- YouTube: 7%
What is notable? All of these sites either point to other content, or are directly editable. I'll go on with wikipedia, as that's the easiest example to use. Here are some search terms and their current result counts:
By comparing the list of results for "perl" and "perl programming" you'll find that many perfectly fine results simply won't show up for the latter and thus won't be visible to TIOBE either.
It's not that the talk about Perl isn't there, the problem is that TIOBE can't see it. And that can be changed.
Here's how you can fix it
The solution is simple: The string "perl programming language" needs to be added to results that are valid for Perl, but don't currently contain it and as such remain invisible to TIOBE. Once TIOBE can actually see the talk about Perl, it will at least stop being a source of false bad press for Perl.
- Go through this list and ask site owners to update their site.
- Go through this list and ask blog owners to update their blog or entries.
- Go through this list and update the page where appropiate.
- Go through this list and ask uploaders to update their video descriptions.
Lastly, don't forget that if you own or create any of the type of contents that appear in any of previous result lists, make sure you mention "perl programming language" as well.

Psychosocial and behavioral factors play a critical role in cancer prevention and care. For example, promoting appropriate lifestyle choices can reduce cancer risk. And increasing adherence to early detection guidelines, treatment regimens, and follow-up care recommendations can reduce morbidity and mortality. Our investigators conduct cross-cutting research to further our understanding of the role that psychosocial and behavioral factors play across the cancer continuum, which will facilitate the development of psychosocial and behavioral interventions that optimize cancer prevention and treatment outcomes.
Our research focuses on five major areas:
Lifestyle factors account for a substantial proportion of the population's cancer burden. Promoting and facilitating the adoption of behaviors that lower cancer risk is the key strategy for reducing the incidence of cancer. Our disease prevention research initiatives include smoking cessation, exercise and diet management, and HPV vaccination uptake.
Screening for Early Detection
Screening serves to identify asymptomatic individuals who are likely to have either precancerous lesions or early stage cancer. Those who screen positive are triaged for diagnostic workup. Treatment is then instituted as appropriate to either forestall the development of cancer or treat it at an early stage. Screening regimens have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing mortality and morbidity from breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers. Our research addresses the development and evaluation of interventions to promote the uptake and maintenance of such regimens.
Providing appropriate and understandable information to patients about their cancer risk is a mainstay of efforts to motivate health-protective behavior, enhance adherence to cancer screening and surveillance recommendations, and support informed decision making. As such, we are interested in understanding the impact of cancer risk on patients and their family members. Further, the role of risk communication in cancer prevention and care has become increasingly more important with the advent of recent advances in genetics. Genetic discoveries have ushered in an era of unprecedented biomedical capabilities in estimating risks for a spectrum of diseases, including some of the most prevalent forms of cancer. However, the application of genetic information based on risk assessment often requires decisions for which there is limited precedent and preparation. In many cases, genetic discoveries have preceded by many years the basic evidence-based knowledge needed for clinical applications. This time lag creates an important void in which detection of genetic abnormalities is increasingly possible, understanding is limited, and the efficacy of risk reduction or prevention options is unclear. Our research addresses a range of these risk-related issues.
Treatment and Disease Management
A cancer patient is often confronted with several treatment options, any of which could be viewed as medically appropriate depending on how their respective advantages and disadvantages are weighed. A prime goal of psychosocial interventions for such patients is to support informed decision making about treatment choice. The role of the patient in such decisions has changed dramatically, and thus there is much to learn regarding patient preferences in treatment decision making and how to provide complex treatment information in understandable ways. Cancer patients must also deal with the challenges of the physical and psychological distress created by cancer symptomatology and treatment side effects. In particular, we are interested in social-environmental influences that affect how individuals and their family members cope with cancer. Psychosocial interventions are designed to assist such patients in adaptively meeting such challenges in order to enhance their quality of life. Our research addresses a cross-section of these issues.
Ten million Americans currently live with a personal history of cancer. As recommended in the recently published Institute of Medicine report, Cancer Care for the Whole Patient: Meeting Psychosocial Health Needs, "cancer survivors" are now recognized as requiring focused and coordinated psychosocial services to meet their specialized needs. Needed services include facilitating the adoption of behavioral strategies to lower risk for recurrent and new cancers; supporting the survivor in dealing psychologically with the need for ongoing medical and personal surveillance for the spread of cancer, its recurrence, and second cancers; providing psychosocial support to the survivor in dealing with the adverse medical and psychosocial late effects of cancer and its treatment; and assisting survivors in meeting the challenges of navigating the complex treatment and disease-management information needed to facilitate informed decision-making across the survivorship trajectory. Cancer survivors represent a constituency whose needs and concerns are not being adequately met by traditional cancer care and service programs. Our research aims to contribute to filling the many gaps in the psychosocial and behavioral research literature on survivorship, thereby providing a better evidence base for improving systems of care for this expanding segment of the population of cancer patients.


Environmental emergency declared in Brazil as wildfires devastate over 1.4 million hectares of vegetation
Posted On By admin
Brasilia: Brazil's southern state of Mato Grosso do Sul has declared a state of environmental emergency after raging wildfires destroyed 1.4 million hectares of vegetation since the beginning of the year.
Monday, state Governor Reinaldo Azambuja signed the decree during a meeting with the National Secretary for Civil Protection and Defense, Alexandre Lucas Alves, who travelled to Campo Grande, the state capital, a day earlier, reports Xinhhua news agency.
The 79 municipalities of the state are suffering from a severe drought affecting the central region of the country, and fires have also spread through the states of Mato Grosso and Tocantins.
The drought has been described as the worst in 47 years in the country.
However, the Mato Grosso do Sul state government also blamed man-made blazes for having "caused forest and urban fires in much of the state".
The fires have also surrounded the Encontro das Aguas park in the Pantanal, located at the Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul states' border, threatening both flora and fauna in the region.
Personnel from the Brazilian environment institutes and army troops have been fighting the fires in the region for months.
Forecasts indicate this week will again see no rains, with high temperatures hitting some places in the region, increasing the risk of wildfires.

The stacks and support structures of the 284 West Power House at the Hanford Site were taken down February 18, 2011.
Taken out of context, the footage above might seem like a mere moment of controlled destruction, but in reality the demolition process documented in this video represents important progress in the cleanup of the environmental legacy of one of America's most famous scientific undertakings -- the Manhattan Project.
The 284 West Power House, which was brought down last week, has been a fixture of the Hanford Site in Washington for nearly 70 years. It was constructed in 1943 to provide the steam necessary for chemical reactions that aide in the processing of plutonium, along with heating nearby facilities. It ceased operations in 1992, and has sat unused for the better part of two decades.
Why is its demolition noteworthy? Well, besides providing the rather epic videofootage above, it actually saves taxpayer money. Even a vacant structure has to be maintained and secured to avoid potential safety hazards that could occur if the structure were to falter. The team at Hanford is also on track to bring down a similar set of structures elsewhere on the site in early March. Both endeavors were made possible thanks to funding from the Recovery Act.
Additional photos from the demolition can be found on Hanford Site's webpage.

Despite Aristotle's firm opinion on the differences between poetry and historiography, an elegiac inscription set up in Herodotus' hometown, Halicarnassus, praised him as "the pedestrian Homer of historiography". As it is well known, the uncertain author of the treatise On the Sublime referred to Herodotus as ὁμηρικώτατος, "the most Homeric". In my paper, I will not take into consideration the literary connections between Homer and Herodotus, so much analyzed by modern scholars. I will rather discuss a specific verb, τεκμαίρομαι, and try to demonstrate that the way in which Herodotus employs it still partially depends on the Homeric background of the verb itself.
In a text that Diogenes Laertius attributed to Aristotle's dialogue On the Poets, Empedocles' poetic style is celebrated. However, in the Poetics Aristotle says that Empedocles was a physiologist, not a poet, and in other places he expresses criticism about his language. How do you explain the disparity in Aristotle's judgments? This is the question to which this paper presents a new answer.
The present article deals with the Dikaiomata, one of Aristotle's three historical works (alongside the Politeiai and the Nomima barbarika), of which only three fragments are preserved. The combined information from testimonia and fragments leads to the hypothesis that the Dikaiomata were a collection containing information about Greek Poleis, that the material collected was of a geographical, onomastic and historical nature and that Philip II of Macedonia may have used the collection in order to settle conflicts between Greek cities. Ancient sources confirm that dikaiomata were legal arguments and/or documents supporting (territorial) claims of cities against each other: an epigraphical dossier from Samos and Priene contains the dikaiomata which were presented by both parties to support their case in a territorial conflict, the works of the local historians being the most important dikaiomata for the remote past. The article comes to the conclusion that Aristotle's Dikaiomata were a collection of claims of Greek Poleis against each other, and that the local histories of the Poleis concerned were important source material for Aristotle for both his Dikaiomata and Politeiai.
A unique lexical recall, placed in an unusual scenario, makes it likely that Dionysius of Halicarnassus, comparing the Asian oratory to a prostitute trying to expel the legitimate wife living in her same house, has in mind Smikrines' speech to his daughter in the Epitrepontes, in which the same situation is prefigured: it is the first documented reference to a comedy of Menander in Dionysius' rhetorical work.
The concept of civilitas has recently received great attention – although only within precise historical frameworks –, which has led to a deeper knowledge of this political model. However, in my opinion, Cassius Dio's Roman History has not received a due consideration in this respect; indeed, the so called anecdotical-biographical chapters of the dionean "imperial books" give some hints about the concept of civilitas according to Cassius Dio's political thought. By rehabilitating the historiographical role of these chapters, it would be possible to yield an inner analysis of Cassius Dio's work, looking for his historical and political meaning on the background of the crisis of the Third Century. In order to prove that the concept of civilitas plays a pivotal role in the Dionean Roman History, I decided to focus on the first five years of the reign of Tiberius as case study (LVII 7-14).
The article aims to shed new light on the so-called Epistolary of the 'Pseudo-Boniface', a literary work of great historical interest written in Latin during Late Antiquity and consisting in a spurious correspondence between Count Boniface and Saint Augustine, the last two renowned figures of the Romano-African civilization. Surprisingly ignored, in general, by historiography and philology, the Epistolary is brought to the reader's attention in its first Italian translation, together with a rigorous historical commentary and an innovative interpretation about its dating and writing context, without neglecting a close analysis of the authentic purposes which inspired the anonymous forger in conceiving his elaborate fiction.
This paper deals with the most ancient tale about the way and the time Aristotle's Metaphysics was composed. This is found at the beginning of Asclepius' commentary in Metaphysicam (4.4-16 Hayduck). If we consider the general context which the tale seems to presuppose, its interest is twofold: it witnesses for a time when the Metaphysics could still be regarded as an unfinished work. In this paper, after some remarks on the reception and the textual constitution of the text, I suggest that Asclepius' source could be Alexander of Aphrodisias in his lost introduction to Aristotle's Metaphysics. If so, Alexander could have still been in condition to apologize for some lately made changes in the overall shape of the work.
This article analyses the physical and cultural appropriation of the Parthenon by 19th-century Britain, and specifically Scotland's role in this matter in relation to England and France. The article proposes a new explanation for the choice of the Parthenon as the architectural model for the Scottish National Monument, and argues that Edinburgh's famous title of 'Athens of the North' developed a new meaning in close connection with, and probably as a consequence of, this debate. By highlighting the many and contradictory variations on the theme of the alleged similarities between Scotland and Greece, the paper points out how the Parthenon was meant to be 'restored' through its physical reproduction in Edinburgh, as an example of the means through which Western culture seized on and regarded Greek antiquities in terms of national pride and international competition.
