9 impressive reasons to use soap in your garden
Using soap in the garden probably seems a bit absurd. After all, dirt and soap aren't exactly bosom buddies. But, with a little ingenuity, you can make this common household item work for you outside the four walls of your home.
Don't believe you can take that extra bar of soap and put it to good use in the backyard? Check out just a few ways you can use soap in your garden:
1. Deter deer
Deer can completely ruin all of your hard work if they start chowing down on your vegetables. Look for a highly fragrant bar soap, cubing it into pieces and skewering it into the ground all around your garden. Avoid soaps containing coconut oil, as it can actually attract the deer.
2. Kill snails and slugs
If you want to get rid of pesky slugs and snails, try spraying them down with a mixture of a vinegar-based salad dressing, hot sauce, hand soap and water. Spray the mixture directly on the slugs to kill them, according to Briggs Garden.
3. Clean your houseplants
You've been so busy dusting and cleaning everything else, you may have neglected one thing in your home that needs a little TLC: your houseplant. If the leaves are dusty, wash them down with a diluted warm soap/water mixture. The Spruce recommends 1/4 teaspoon of soap per 1 quart of water.
4. Create a lubricant
Need to remove a tree or bush branch? Coat the blade of your handsaw with a little soap to lubricate the teeth, making it easier to saw through the wood.
5. Protect against poison ivy
Soap is one of your best protections against poison ivy. If you get the oil from the plant on your skin, use soap and friction to get it all off within a few hours to prevent a rash. Check out the tutorial here.
You can also dissolve a tablespoon of dish soap and one cup of salt in a gallon of hot water, and spray the poison ivy plants to kill them.
6. Kill weeds
Combine boiling water, some vinegar, salt and a little dish soap in a container. Mix well. Spray the mixture over your weeds for a mostly-organic solution to your garden problems.
7. Deter bugs
Add 1 teaspoon of natural dish soap to a 1-quart spray bottle filled with water. Spray in areas where the bugs like to gather and repeat when they show up again.
8. Give your repellant extra sticking power
Whether you've made your own bug repellent or you're buying it from the store, add a few drops of dish soap. This helps the spray stick to the plants, allowing the repellant to work better.
9. Clean up
The most obvious use for soap in the garden: Use it to scrub up after digging around in the dirt. Soap and hot water are all you need to properly clean your basic garden tools too.
Next time you head out to the garden, put your soap to work too. Make sure to share these ideas with your friends and family on Facebook.

So every Friday I am going to give you a 5 minute worship idea to do as part of your quiet time, family worship or at some point during your day. Maybe take 5 while eating your lunch in the car, or while the baby has a nap. Wherever, whenever if we put time aside Jesus joins us! This one is inspired by our current winter wonderland!For individuals: Inspired by the cold weather here are a few pictures I have found on Pinterest. Take one, spend 5 minutes of quiet time contemplating and meditating on it. Ask God if there is anything He would like to say. Use it as a starting point for some prayer. No one else can see or hear you… be brave. God can speak to us through anything and he loves it when we ask him what is on His heart. Let these pictures be a springboard for your imagination to take you into God's world…
For children: You can do the same thing with your children. Sit down with them and ask them what they think the picture is of. They often have a completely different perspective. Ask them if they were in the picture where would they be? Get them to think about where Jesus would be in the picture? Ask them to make up a story using the picture as inspiration. While they are doing this prayerfully ask Jesus to reveal himself as they exercise their creativity!
For small groups: If you are part of a small group maybe try this idea with them. Print off these pictures or flick through some magazines for some inspiring illustrations and photos. Spread them out and get people to choose one that stands out to them. Put on some worship music and allow people time to think on the picture. This is a great way for people who wouldn't consider themselves to be 'visual learners' engage with the arty stuff! Maybe pose them the following questions:
1. Where do you see yourself in the picture?
2. How does the picture make you feel?
3. If you could describe the picture in 3 words what would they be?
4. Ask Jesus to reveal something about himself in the picture?
Give time after each question for people to consider and write down their responses. Then discuss if appropriate.

Changing nutrition program benefitsA year after the potato industry convinced Congress to pass a law that the Agriculture Department could not limit the amount of white potatoes children are served in school meals, members of Congress are once again pushing USDA to buy more of the starchy vegetable for children.
By: Jerry Hagstrom, Agweek
WASHINGTON—A year after the potato industry convinced Congress to pass a law that the Agriculture Department could not limit the amount of white potatoes children are served in school meals, members of Congress are once again pushing USDA to buy more of the starchy vegetable for children.
In a June 27 letter, Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., and Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., and 91 other House members urged Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to allow participants in the special nutrition program for women, infants and children, known as WIC, to buy white potatoes with their benefits.
The signers of the letter included House Agriculture Committee ranking member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., and Reps. Rick Berg, R-N.D., Dennis Rehberg, R-Mont., and Kristi Noem, R-S.D.
The fiscal year 2013 Agriculture Appropriations Bill approved by the House Appropriations Committee also contains an amendment that would require USDA to allow WIC benefits to be used to purchase white potatoes.
But an Agriculture department official told Agweek that USDA does not allow white potato purchases under the WIC program because it follows the National Academies of Science's Institute of Medicine recommendation that the WIC packages contain foods that the children need and might not get without direction from the program.
"The IOM's recommendations for the WIC food packages and the resulting proposed rule excluded the purchase of white potatoes with WIC vouchers since most Americans consume the maximum recommendation of one serving of potatoes per day," the official wrote in an email. "The IOM had determined the food intake data for this target population indicate that consumption of starchy vegetables, including white potatoes, meets or exceeds the Dietary Guidelines for Americans intake recommendation for this vegetable subgroup, and would not support the goal of expanding the types and varieties of fruits and vegetables available to program participants."
Margo Wootan, the director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, signaled that USDA should not change its current rules.
The WIC program, Wootan says, "aims to supplement the diets of women and their children to address deficiencies and fill in nutritional gaps.
"Most families are already eating plenty of potatoes — and not enough of other vegetables," she says. "The contents of the WIC food packages should be based on science and what is best for the health of women and children, not politics."
The letter from Walden, Meeks and other House members promoted the nutritional value of potatoes.
"Fresh potatoes — especially those grown in Oregon — are loaded with nutrients, and WIC participants should be free to choose them as a healthy, low-cost way to feed their families," Walden says. "Excluding them from the WIC program sends the wrong signal about their nutritional value, and the secretary should reconsider the department's decision in the light of overwhelmingly bipartisan opposition."
"Fresh, white potatoes are a cornerstone of many freshly prepared, home-cooked meals around the country," Meeks says. "WIC participants in New York's sixth congressional district come from rich and diverse cultural backgrounds, and should be given the opportunity to choose how to feed their families. The WIC program should encourage a well-balanced variety in Americans' diets, not restrict access to a single vegetable."

Identification of sources of heavy metals in agricultural soils using multivariate analysis and GIS
2013 (English)In: Journal of Soils and Sediments, ISSN _PHONE_, E-ISSN _PHONE_, Vol. 13, no 4, 720-729 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Purpose Heavy metals in agricultural soils readily enter the food chain when taken up by plants, but there have been few investigations of heavy metal pressure in farming areas with low background concentrations. This study was carried out in a cultivation area of Northeast China that has undergone decades of intensive farming, with the aim of identifying the sources of accumulated heavy metals in agricultural soils using multivariate analysis and geographic information system (GIS). Materials and methods In 2011, concentrations of total iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and cobalt (Co), as well as soil pH and organic matter, were measured at 149 sites in arable soils in the study area. The principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to extract hidden subsets from the raw dataset in order to detect possible sources. Metal contents in soils from various croplands were further investigated using analysis of variance. With the Kriging interpolation method, GIS was used to display the PCA results spatially to explore the influence of land use on heavy metal accumulation. Results and discussion Most of the studied metals in arable soils of the study area were shown to have low concentrations, except for Cd (0.241 mgkg−1). According to the results of the PCA analysis, Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Co formed the first component (PC1) explaining 40.1 % of the total variance. The source of these metals was attributed to farming practices ("anthropogenic" factor). Cu, Ni, and Cr fell into the second component (PC2), heavy metals that derived from parent rock materials ("lithogetic" factor). This component describes 24.6 % of the total variance. Compared to paddy lands, soils in drylands had greater accumulations of all the etals in PC1, which can be explained by a higher rate of phosphorus fertilizer application and a longer farming history. Conclusions Owing to the natural low backgrounds, soils in the study area were safe from heavy metal pollution with a contamination risk of Cd the only exception. Multivariate analysis and GIS were effective means in helping to identify the sources of soil metals and addressing the land use influence on soil metals accumulation. This work can support the development of strategy and policies to aid in the prevention of widespread heavy metal contamination in area with characteristics similar to those of the study area.

The Civil Works Administration was one of the most dramatic and radical programs of the New Deal. Organized in November of 1934, it placed nearly four million men and women on work relief projects in six weeks. The program lasted only five months but was an important precursor to the more famous WPA (Works Progress Administration, 1933 to 1935). This article describes some of the initial "allotments" (federal money and jobs) to Franklin County towns. The Daily Recorder-Gazette claims that the program will employ "every able-bodied man [on welfare!] in Deerfield." The goal is to cut the welfare rolls in half. Greenfield's plan to construct a "surface sewer" to handle rain runoff is typical of the labor intensive nature of many CWA projects. Despite its popularity, the CWA was often accused of "leaf raking" or "made work" just to keep the unemployed busy.

Facial Feedback Hypothesis | Replicability-Index
The facial feedback hypothesis, rooted in the conjectures of Charles Darwin and William James, is that one's facial expression directly affects their emotional experience. Specifically, physiological activation of the facial regions associated with certain emotions holds a direct effect on the elicitation of such emotional states, and the lack of or inhibition of facial activation will result in the suppression or absence altogether of corresponding emotional states. Variations of the facial feedback hypothesis differ in regards to what extent of engaging in a given facial expression plays in the modulation of affective experience. Particularly, a "strong" version facial feedback is the decisive factor in whether emotional perception occurs or not and a "weak" version facial expression plays a limited role in influencing affect. While a plethora of research exists on the facial feedback hypothesis and its variations, only the weak version has received substantial support, thus it is widely suggested that facial expression likely holds a minor facilitative impact on emotional experience. However, it is not essential to the onset of affective states.

Museum Open Monday
As the only important museum in New York during the Civil War, the New-York Historical Society became the natural home for objects, images, works of art, documents, manuscripts, and more pertaining to the Civil War era that were collected during the war and immediately after (and ever since). For example, the New-York Historical Society Manuscript Department has over 400 collections of letters, diaries, military accounts, and administrative correspondence relating to the Civil War. Some of the highlights of the include Ulysses S. Grant's terms of surrender given to Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House; letters from Walt Whitman to the family of a soldier hospitalized in Washington, D.C.; and a letter from Clara Driscoll, who sat in the President's box at Ford's Theater and witnessed Lincoln's assassination.
These treasures are complemented by important photographic archives and printed materials, which include thousands of pamphlets on the contentious political, philosophical, and religious debates concerning slavery and the slave trade in the years leading up to the war. In 2004 the Civil War collections at New-York Historical reached an unparalleled breadth and depth when the Gilder Lehrman Collection, a unique archive of primary sources in American history, was placed on deposit at the Society and made available to researchers.
NEH Summer Scholars will have access to the New-York Historical Society's world-renowned research library and museum collections. During the Institute, the library will be open for research on an extended schedule for participants, Monday-Friday from 9 am–4:30 pm, except on Monday, July 14 and Friday, July 25. Additionally, the library has a wealth of digitized collections that can be accessed online from any location, including manuscript collections relating to slavery, the New York African Free School collection, and Civil War Treasures.
Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptops. The library has a limited number of public computers Summer Scholars can take advantage of during library hours. A small number of laptops may be available for check out by Summer Scholars. Participants will have access to the institute classroom from 8:30 am-5 pm each day, which includes free wifi and printing.
Participants will receive copies of all books on the reading list, films screened during the Institute, a course pack of primary sources recommended by the scholarly faculty, and relevant curriculum materials and exhibition catalogs from past New-York Historical Society exhibitions.

Isla de Mujeres
My daughter left today for a week long vacation to Isla de Mujeres, an island off the coast of Cancún. It is a small island that has recently been developed with resorts and hotels. When I was there in there in the 1980s, it was a laid back, quaint little island that people visited for local color. No resorts, no big hotels. Just a quaint little island.
Now it is well developed into a tourist resort with large hotels and resorts, restaurants and things for tourists to do. To reach the island, one takes a ferry from Cancún. It is not a long ride and the ferry has been much improved from the days when I was there. Then there was a rickety old ferry where the water came in through the bottom of the boat. The boat was so small the sea often felt rough. Now the ferry is modern and sleek and geared toward the tourists.
Wikipedia describes the island this way: Isla Mujeres (Spanish for Women Island) is one of the ten municipalities of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. The municipality, located in the northeastern corner of the state is mostly on the mainland and has a municipal seat of the same name; Isla Mujeres. The municipal seat is a small island town a short distance off the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in the Caribbean Sea about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northeast of Cancún. The island is some 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) long and 650 metres (2,130 ft) wide. In the 2005 census, the town had a population of 11,147.
In Pre-Columbian times the island was sacred to the Mayan aged goddess of childbirth and medicine, Ix Chel. When the Spanish arrived here in the 16th century they named it "Isla Mujeres" because of the many cult images of goddesses here. But the first news we have about Isla Mujeres are from the period between the years 564 – 1516 AC, when the island was part of the mayan province called Ekab (there where 4 mayan provinces in what is today the State of Quintana Roo). Since then, the island was considered sacred by the mayan civilization, therefore, this was not a mayan village where to live in, but a sanctuary dedicated to mayan goddess Ixchel. Besides this, the mayan also exploited the salt that the island produced in the "salinas" (small interior lagoons) that back in those times, the salt was used not only for the conservation of food and medicine but also has a generally accepted currency for commerce of goods along the whole mayan region. The Mayan goddess Ixchel had a temple in what is today the Hacienda Mundaca (Mundaca's Plantation House)
There was a small Mayan temple on the south tip of the island, however in 1988 Hurricane Gilbert caused extensive damage to it, leaving most of the foundation and a very small portion of the temple. Since the 1970s along with Cancún there has been substantial development for tourism in Isla Mujeres.
My daughter went to Isla de Mujeres last year for her postponed honeymoon and chose it again this year for her vacation. She loves the island and its amenities.

 1. We used to go to Isla Mujeres in the early 80s too. We loved it but not so much now that it's been built up. I liked the quaintness of it before it got so popular. Ah well, progress for them I suppose. I have photos of that Mayan temple.

If I am sitting on a skateboard and travel downhill, will the velocity depend at all on the size of the wheel?
The skateboard is only powered by gravity. There are a lot of variables to consider. Given the best conditions, where the surface of the road is smooth, and the tires are roughly equivalent.
I've heard answers that larger wheels are faster because they offer more springiness, and smaller wheels are slower because they deform more and thus have higher rolling resistance. Larger wheels are faster because they roll over imperfections in the road better than smaller wheels.
I am curious from a theoretical standpoint, does the size of the wheel matter? That is perhaps, ignoring things like rolling resistance. And also from a practical standpoint.

Well, you can't directly compare speeds, because the vehicle has different speeds at different times (or equivalently, at different positions). But you can compare the accelerations. It turns out that if you look at the theoretically simplest effect, moment of inertia, the acceleration does not depend on the wheel size, but it does depend on the shape of the wheels.
Suppose a wheel has a moment of inertia $I$, which for a solid cylinder would be $\frac{1}{2}mr^2$ ($m$ is the wheel's mass and $r$ is its radius). The kinetic energy of the wheel is
$$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$$
Now, suppose you have $N$ of these wheels mounted to a chassis of mass $M$. The kinetic energy of the entire ensemble is
$$K = \frac{1}{2}(M + Nm)v^2 + \frac{1}{2}NI\omega^2$$
If the wheels roll without slipping, then $v = r\omega$ and that becomes
$$K = \frac{1}{2}\left(M + Nm + \frac{NI}{r^2}\right)v^2$$
And if this whole thing is rolling down a slope of inclination $\theta$ (where $\theta = 0$ corresponds to horizontal), the total energy is
$$E = \frac{1}{2}\left(M + Nm + \frac{NI}{r^2}\right)v^2 - (M + Nm)gd\sin\theta = 0$$
where $d$ is the distance traveled along the slope from the point at which the vehicle started rolling. If you take the time derivative of this and do a little algebra, you get
$$a = \frac{(M + Nm)g\sin\theta}{M + Nm + \frac{NI}{r^2}}$$
At this point it's worth noting that moment of inertia for any kind of rotationally symmetric object (like a wheel) is given by a formula of the form
$$I = bmr^2$$
where $b$ is some number. For instance, $b = \frac{1}{2}$ for the solid cylinder I mentioned above. For a hollow wheel (no hubcaps or anything) you'd have $b = 1$, for a sphere $b = \frac{2}{5}$, and so on. So the above formula reduces to
$$a = \frac{(M + Nm)g\sin\theta}{M + Nm(1 + b)}$$
Notice that it doesn't depend on the size of the wheel ($r$) anymore. But it does depend on that constant $b$, which is determined by the wheel's shape. A wheel with a larger value of $b$ will undergo less acceleration.

+1 Nice theoretical description. I'll point out that if you've read both David's my answers and are wondering if they say different things, no, they fundamentally agree. David shows that while $r$ doesn't matter, the mass of the wheels $m$ does matter. So if bigger wheels with bigger $r$ also have bigger $m$, they would be slower. – Mark Eichenlaub Dec 15 '10 at 11:02
From a purely theoretical standpoint, the radius of the wheel doesn't matter, but heavy wheels are slow.
In an idealized scenario, the skateboard conserves energy. This means that its total energy when it gets to the bottom of the hill is the same regardless of how it goes down.
As a wheel rolls down the hill, it picks up kinetic energy. Some of that goes into its translational motion, while some goes in its rotation. The energy in the rotation is essentially wasted from the point of view of going fast. A solid cylinder or disk, for example, will move $1/\sqrt{1.5} = 0.81$ times as fast at the bottom of a hill it has rolled down as it would go if it slid down without rolling (and without friction).
If you have heavy wheels compared to the weight of the skateboard and rider, then you suffer most of this slowdown. If you have light wheels, the energy of the wheels hardly matters and you can approach the ideal sliding speed.
Next we want to know if this matters. On Wikipedia I found that rolling resistances can be about $0.01$. When you roll down an incline of angle $\theta$, you lose about $0.01 \cot\theta$ of the energy you pick up to friction. For now set rolling resistance equal to $c$ instead of the number $0.01$. For cylindrical wheels of total mass $m$ and total wheels and rider of mass $M$, a fraction $m/3M$ is used in rotational rather than translational kinetic energy. Thus, the rotational energy stored in the wheels becomes important when, roughly speaking,
$$m/M > 3 c \cot\theta$$
The question we wanted to answer was not when rolling resistance becomes important, but what size wheels are faster. So imagine that $c$ is a function of $R$, the wheel radius, and that $m = \lambda R^2$, saying that we'll consider wheels of the same density and thickness, but different radius.
If we differentiate both sides of the previous expression with respect to $R$, we get a condition for the extra rotational energy stored in the wheel size to start being a bad trade off for any improvement in rolling resistance.
$$2\lambda R/M > - 3 c'(R) \cot\theta$$
$$ R > -\frac{3 M c'(R) \cot\theta}{2\lambda}$$
When this inequality is satisfied, making the wheels large will slow you down. Otherwise larger wheels are better. Note that if $c'(R)$ is zero or positive, larger wheels are always worse.
Unfortunately, I can't think of good ways to estimate $c'(R)$ without experimentation. One thing I can think of is this (it's highly speculative): A skateboard has pretty hard wheels that probably don't deform much under the weight of a rider, but skateboards are treated roughly and may get some grime in their bearings. So I would guess that friction in the bearing could be the most important factor in rolling resistance for a skateboard. I don't have much experience with them, but I think that if I take a skateboard wheel and spin it while holding it up in the air, it won't spin and spin for a minute or more like a bicycle wheel will. Larger wheels mean fewer rotations and less motion in the bearing, so this would give $c(R) = \alpha/R$ for some constant $\alpha$. This guess would give
$$ R > \frac{3 M \alpha \cot\theta}{2\lambda R^2}$$
$$R > \left(\frac{3 M \alpha \cot\theta}{2\lambda}\right)^{1/3}$$
When I let the density of the wheels be $1g/cm^3$, the mass of the rider by $75 kg$, the slope $10 ^\circ$, the width of the wheels $2 cm$, and the rolling resistance $0.01$ when the wheels are $5cm$ tall, I get that larger wheels slow you down when $R > 17 cm$. That would indicate that larger wheels are actually better in this case up to a pretty big size wheel (for a skateboard), but take it with a large grain of salt. There are lots of unjustified assumptions in there.
share|cite|improve this answer
Let me try to make an explanation without formulas.
Suppose you assume no rolling friction, and you start at the top of a hill at height h and you and your wheels weigh w. Then your initial potential energy is wh (uh-oh, a formula).
Then you roll down the hill, and at the bottom your kinetic energy is wh, obviously.
But that consists of two parts, 1) you, traveling at a velocity v, plus 2) the wheels, which are spinning and have their own kinetic energy. Their rims are moving at velocity v with respect to their hubs.
So any energy in the spinning wheels will subtract from your bodily kinetic energy. In the extreme, if your wheels were connected to a big flywheel (like a "friction motor" in a toy) you would come down slowly and all the energy would be in the flywheel.
So to get down as fast as possible, you want to minimize the mass in the wheel rims. But if the wheel mass and distribution is held constant, the wheel radius should not matter. The reason the wheel radius does not

They are those who read the behavioral characteristics of individuals in a specific situation.
- Voice Readers
- Walking Readers
- Manual signature readers
As we saw above, in addition to iris recognition, fingerprint and face, there are biometric readers activated by the voice, by reading the person's gait and even by hand signature.
However, the most common type of biometric reader is the fingerprint. It is the most used because it is simpler and has the best cost-benefit. It is used both in bank branches, where the customer touches his indicator on the sensor and access to the account is released, as well as to unlock new generations of smartphones, for example.
This same system, of fingerprint, is used in the electronic ballot boxes to give access to the voter, which avoids electoral fraud. The fingerprint is also widely used as a security item on doors, through the biometric lock.
The biometric lock is a system installed at the entrance door of the property that reads the fingerprints, iris, shape of the hands or the person's own face to allow access. When the person is not recognized, the system blocks the opening.
How does the biometric reader work on the lock?
Understanding the biometric process, it is easy to imagine how the biometric reader works on a door.
We return to the example of the bank: for you to have access to your account, it is necessary to go to the branch and register your fingerprint. For the biometric door, the operating system is the same.
This technology is replacing password-protected doors that are less secure than the first. In this case, with the installation of a biometric reader, all residents will have their fingerprints registered to have free access to the entrance.
This registration is done in the reader, where he will read the print and inform it to the software, which, in turn, will keep the information on file. Each time the user touches the sensor, the door will open because it will be previously registered.
The entire operation process is simple and quick: the device reads the registered fingerprint, searches the system database and releases the door when it recognizes it.
Why is the biometric reader important?
The installation of a biometric reader in an automated door is of paramount importance for several reasons, the main one being that it gives greater security to the property in relation to burglaries. The fingerprint is unique, this means that the security in the identification process is accurate, which the password or encryption processes do not guarantee. The password can be informed and even discovered, but the fingerprint is not transferable.
In addition, the biometric reader eliminates once and for all the unpleasant situation of an employee having to stay outside the office until a colleague arrives because he forgot the key or the tag. Thus, it is undeniable that a biometric lock brings security and practicality to everyone.

Journal Issue: Children and Electronic Media Volume 18 Number 1 Spring 2008
Liliana Escobar-Chaves and Craig Anderson investigate two important trends among American youth and examine the extent to which the two trends might be related. First, the authors note that U.S. youth are spending increasing amounts of time using electronic media, with the average American youngster now spending one-third of each day with some form of electronic media. Second, the authors demonstrate that American adolescents are engaging in a number of unhealthful behaviors that impose huge societal costs.
Escobar-Chaves and Anderson detail the extent of five critical types of adolescent health risk behaviors identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—obesity, smoking, drinking, sexual risk taking, and violence. Obesity, the authors note, has become an epidemic among America's young people. Cigarette smoking among adolescents is one of the ten leading health indicators of greatest government concern. Alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence are widespread problems among the nation's youth and are the source of the three leading causes of death among youth. More than 20 percent of American high school students have sexual intercourse for the first time before they reach the age of fourteen. And twelveto twenty-year-olds perpetrated 28 percent of the single-offender and 41 percent of multiple-offender violent crimes in the United States in 2005.
Escobar-Chaves and Anderson present and evaluate research findings on the influence of electronic media on these five risk behaviors among adolescents. Researchers, they say, have found modest evidence that media consumption contributes to the problem of obesity, modest to strong evidence that it contributes to drinking and smoking, and strong evidence that it contributes to violence. Research has been insufficient to find links between heavy media exposure and early sexual initiation.
The authors note the need for more large-scale longitudinal studies that specifically examine the cumulative effects of electronic media on risky health behavior.

About the FSA
The Food Standards Agency is responsible for food safety and food hygiene across the UK. We work with local authorities to enforce food safety regulations and have staff who work in UK meat plants to check that the requirements of the regulations are being met. We also commission research related to food safety.
The Department of Health is responsible for nutrition policy, including nutrition labelling, in England. Defra (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) is responsible for food labelling not related to food safety or nutrition in England. It is also responsible for animal welfare. The FSA retains responsibility for labelling policy in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and for nutrition policy in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Responsibility for nutrition policy in Wales lies with the Welsh Government.
You can get answers to several frequently asked questions about what we do at the links below.
- putting the consumer first
- openness and transparency
- scienceand evidence-based
- acting independently
- enforcing food law fairly
The Agency is led by a Board that has been appointed to act in the public interest and not to represent particular sectors. Board members have a wide range of relevant skills and experience.
Although the FSA is a government agency, it works at 'arm's length' from government because it doesn't report to a specific minister and is free to publish any advice it issues. We are, however, accountable to Parliament through health ministers, and to the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for our activities within their areas.
Our UK headquarters are in London, but the Agency also has offices in York, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We base our decisions and advice on the best evidence available, including commissioning research and obtaining advice from independent advisory committees. We also aim to ensure that our decision-making process is as open and transparent in as possible.
Whenever possible, we seek the views of interested parties before reaching conclusions, and always explain the reasons for a decision or advice in a straightforward manner.
The six outcomes the FSA aims to deliver are:
- foods produced or sold in the UK are safe to eat
- imported food is safe to eat
- food producers and caterers give priority to consumer interests in relation to food
- consumers have the information and understanding they need to make informed choices about where and what they eat
- regulation is effective, risk-based and proportionate, is clear about the responsibilities of food business operators, and protects consumers and their interests from fraud and other risks
- enforcement is effective, consistent, risk-based and proportionate and is focused on improving public health

If you have just started on SimplePay, you will see one blank payslip setup screen, which is divided into three sections:
These are those items that relate to all payslips. All payslips will have a field for Basic Salary automatically added – click on this to get started:
- For salaried employees, it will be their salary for the period. If it is a shortened period, e.g. where someone started work during the month, you should still enter the full salary, as the system will automatically calculate the pro-rata amount based on their appointment date.
- For hourly paid employees, enter their hourly rate – you will enter the hours worked under Payslip Inputs (discussed below).
Other regular items such as travel allowance, pension fund and employer loans can be added by clicking Add (next to Regular Inputs). If the item you are looking for is not there, you may need to add a custom item. More information about custom items can be found in the following article:
These are items that are periodic (e.g. hours worked) or specific to a particular payslip (e.g. expense claim). SimplePay has a variety of system items, which you can add by clicking Add (next to Payslip Inputs). As with the regular items above, you can create custom items (linked to above).
More information about entering employee hours can be found in the following article:
SimplePay automatically calculates statutory deductions for PAYE and UIF and you will see these in the Payslip block, along with all of the other items you added above. Once you are happy with what you see in the Payslip block, you have the following options:
- Preview will open a PDF preview of the payslip, which will also contain the automatically calculated employer contributions for UIF and any other applicable amounts such as SDL and pension contributions.
- Tax will show you the tax trace – an explanation of how the tax for the period was calculated.
- Notes allows you to add notes to specific items on the payslip if extra information is required.
- The Finalise button saves your changes and generates the next period's payslip. It also removes the stamp saying "Draft" to indicate that the document is now a final document and no longer a draft. Don't panic, though – you can always go back and make changes to the latest finalised payslip by clicking the Undo Finalise button.


Your point on × having different meanings in English and Japanese is incorrect; × is not the same as ✓ (check mark) and should never stand for acceptance. (○ can be ambiguous in some settings.) My main reason for proposing the Japanese style (I was not aware that there is more than one style until reading your and Boaz's posts) is my assumption that students of Japanese will tend to encounter this style more than the international style. In my own experience, every textbook I have uses the ○/△/?/× convention. Can you elaborate on why the international set "will cause less confusion"? – Derek Schaab Jul 12 '11 at 17:36
 - _USER_ In English, when you fill in a form that has boxes to chose, some people puts a checkmark, and some people crosses it. Especially when you are filling in a form using a typewriter, the official way is to type the letter 'x' in the box. Am I wrong? The reason I think '*' does not cause confusion is because the difference among people is whether they know it or not, whereas with '×', it might mean different things. But if you think the convention used in Japanese text book does not cause confusion, I am not particularly against it. – user458 Jul 12 '11 at 17:57
 - 1
 _USER_: The checkbox is a separate issue that simply requires the user to place some mark inside the box. The shape of the mark is immaterial. In the example you mentioned (an examination paper), × would most certainly indicate an incorrect answer in either cultural setting. Furthermore, in user interface design, × is universally used to mean "close", "cancel", "stop", and "no". So this point is invalid. However, if you have other reasons to believe the international marker set would cause less mental friction, by all means, please provide them. – Derek Schaab Jul 12 '11 at 18:18
 - _USER_: Also, lest my comments give rise to confusion, I am not against either set of marks. If the set accepted by linguists is demonstrably better, let's use that one. My goal with this post is consistency. :) – Derek Schaab Jul 12 '11 at 18:21
 - Maybe my description about the examination was not correct. To be more accurate, US teachers have tendency to mark the correct answers in some way, whereas Japanese teachers mark the incorrect answers. But for TV game consoles sold in US, the 'X' rather than '◯' button is used for select. I gave the only reason I have about possibility of confusion in my comment above; I have nothing to add. I am happy to go with either way. – user458 Jul 12 '11 at 18:26

 _USER_: "But for TV game consoles sold in US, the 'X' rather than '◯' button is used for select." is peculiar to game consoles, and strikes me as rather strange. In the US, 'X' unequivocally means "no". – Mechanical snail Jul 16 '11 at 3:34

 As you did in this very post, an asterisk * has to be escaped to avoid the system from interpreting it as a special symbol in Markdown. Because of this, I do not want to use an asterisk to mark an incorrect example on this site. – Tsuyoshi Ito Jul 16 '11 at 21:41
 - _USER_ That makes sense. – user458 Jul 17 '11 at 2:22
 - 1
 After reading the English Site's FAQ I'm altering my stance to be okay with * and?, since those are in use there as well. Furthermore, it looks like we are able to have a section explaining whatever notation we pick in the site's FAQ, which I wasn't originally aware of. – Troyen Aug 25 '11 at 19:35
 - It's true that some people may not understand symbols like * even though they're relatively standard, but we can solve this problem by providing footnotes to explain exactly what a symbol means when we use it. People who already know can ignore the footnotes, and people who aren't familiar with symbols like * or # can still understand the answer. – user1478 Sep 25 '13 at 21:23
I think that this is a good convention. It is a pity that some fonts render "○" very small compared to other symbols, but I guess that we have to live with that.
The only other problem I can think of is that the symbols may not make sense to everyone. So I suggest users who use this convention to link to this page.
I suggest the following convention:
 - correct: (no mark). Usually, an example sentence is intended to be grammatically correct. Hence there's no need to mark them.
 - questionable: '?' (U+003F QUESTION MARK)
 - incorrect: '*' (U+002A ASTERISK)
As stated in the other posts, "*" and "?" are a well-established convention, used universally in linguistics. I've seen these two frequently, but have rarely seen "%" and "#" as described in sawa's post.
In particular, I don't think it's worth distinguishing "sometimes correct", "informant-dependent", "semantically strange" in our symbol convention. They are all subsumed by "questionable". The simplicity of using only 2 symbols is clearly advantageous. (If you need to distinguish, just do so in prose.)
"?" will be intuitive for everyone. Admittedly, "*" is not immediately obvious, but I think using the more widely established convention is still preferable. (Anyway, the "Japanese textbook" convention isn't universally obvious either.) Probably a FAQ entry on "What are all those asterisks?" is warranted.
Formatting conventions
The marks go in front of the example text, with no intervening space, and outside any quotes or brackets. For example:
 -?"Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." (syntactically correct, semantically self-contradictory)
 - */je/ (phoneme sequence that does not occur in modern Japanese)
 - "This is correct."
 - *[nʲi.hon] (foreigners' mispronunciation of the moraic nasal)
 - *⟨つずく⟩ (misspelling)
I think this is a good question and even if we pick something that is not easily typable for everybody it can be one of the jobs of the higher rep editors to add this formatting where they see it lacking.
Besides the geometric symbols we could also employ combinations of bold and italics, which are easy to enter in markdown.
An important part of this in my opinion is how to deal with kanji vs. kana vs. romaji for those who have a degree of proficiency in spoken Japanese but limited skill in kanji.
 - 2
 I am against italics. Because Japanese text is traditionally not written in italics, italic fonts for Japanese are usually hard to read. Bold is fine, but let's not rely only on font. – Tsuyoshi Ito Jun 10 '11 at 23:29
 - Oh yes I definitely agree no italics for Japanese script but it could be useful for romaji. – hippietrail Jun 12 '11 at 12:59

WDPG 3.8 Resource assessment
WDPG 3.8.1G
1To achieve the objective of winding-down in an orderly manner, a firm needs to have adequate financial and non-financial resources to do this and may ask itself a range of questions.
WDPG 3.8.2G
What non-financial resources, such as premises, IT, key employees, external advisors etc., does it need to carry out the steps identified in the operational analysis and for how long might it need them? (See WDPG 3.7 (Operational analysis: what happens during the wind-down process?)) Firms that are part of a larger group may need to consider issues of inter-connectedness, and in particular between regulated and unregulated parts of the group.
WDPG 3.8.3G
If a firm relies on outsourced services, will these services still be available during the wind-down period, or are contingency measures in place? When negotiating outsourcing agreements, firms may wish to consider the possible invocation of their wind-down plan and the impact this would have on the contractual relationship.
WDPG 3.8.4G
If a firm is part of a larger group, and is depending on group resources, would it still have adequate resources to wind down in an orderly manner if the group failed?
WDPG 3.8.5G
This guide does not provide any rule or interpretation in relation to the financial resources requirements applicable to a firm. Rather, it highlights some of the factors which a firm may want to consider in its wind-down planning.
WDPG 3.8.6G
It is important that firms monitor their solvency on a regular basis to ensure they continue to be able to meet their obligations as they fall due. If a firm becomes uncertain of its ability to do so, it may seek professional advice, such as from an auditor or insolvency practitioner to assist.
WDPG 3.8.7G
A firm in wind-down will likely have non-routine cash inflows and outflows, which are best monitored on a daily basis. These will include:
 1. (1)
 inflows, i.e. predicted revenue and other inflows that are likely to be limited after the triggering event and/or if a wind-down decision is made;
 2. (2)
 ordinary outflows, i.e. the cost of maintaining operational premises and systems; and
 3. (3)
 extraordinary outflows associated with winding down, such as extra closure costs, legal fees, professional services and insolvency practitioner fees, redundancy payments, retention payments, pension fund deficits, lease and other termination penalties and the costs of breaking contracts.
WDPG 3.8.8G
A firm might then consider if it would have enough cash or cash-equivalent investments to meet operating expenses and any other obligations during the wind-down period.


No one likes to be stuck in the house for long periods of time when it's just too cold to spend long periods of time outside. Young kids especially can start to climb the walls no matter how many toys are laying around the house. They will no doubt look to Mom and Dad for entertainment when the days are long — and cold.
Here are 10 mostly free and very kid-friendly ideas to keep sanity on cold days, snow days, and weekends:
1. Get Fresh Air
Being cooped up in the house for long periods of time is not necessarily healthy. Even on cold, snowy days it is good to get some fresh air for at least 30 minutes. Take a walk, have a snowball fight, build a fort, collect pine cones in the snow. A family walk can be fun and give everyone a change of scenery that's good for the soul. Be sure everyone dresses warm to prevent a house full of sick people.
2. Feed Backyard Friends
Not all birds fly South for the winter. Many are meant to endure the cold temperatures, but the frozen ground makes it harder to find the worms. Your family can make easy bird feeders to pass the time and provide winter nutrition for your backyard friends.
Bird Feeder Directions
A jar of peanut butter, a few of your pine cones, a bag of birdseed, a butter knife, and string or fishing line is all you need for your project. Cover your work space with newspapers. Tie a piece of string around the pine cone which will be used to hang it up. Coat pine cones with the peanut butter and roll them in the seeds. Let them dry well as you make more. Put on your coats and boots and head out to the backyard to hang them. Make sure to hang a few near a window so kids can watch the birds feed throughout the day.
3. Get Funky
Many game systems have dance-related games to get the family moving. If you do not have a game system, there is no reason why you can't host your own dance party. Have kids select songs and be sure to dance with them. It can even be fun to look up some dance steps online for formal dances like the Mashed Potato, the Electric Slide, and even the Hokey Pokey. Not only will the whole family have a blast learning together, kids will get some much needed exercise and expend some energy.
4. Host a Game Night With Friends
Friends with kids are also likely suffering from fits of boredom. Pick a night to host a family game night. Use board games, made up games, or traditional children's party games to entertain the masses. Other families can contribute snack foods or drinks to the party to keep it inexpensive. Game nights tend to be so much fun they become regular events. Plan to trade game night locations once a month to keep enjoying more time with friends.
5. Create a Play
Help older kids create a script for a play they can later perform. This can take a few days to put together and keep the kids busy thinking up new ideas. In addition to writing the script, they can find costumes, props, and create a stage for their performance. If you are short on kids, invite friends and neighborhood children to participate. When the play is ready, gather an audience and don't forget the standing ovation.
6. Make a Movie
Using the same concept as creating a play, have the kids create their own movie if you have the technology. Not only will this help pass the time and keep kids creative, you will be able to produce an awesome memory for years to come. Have the kids make a movie each year and compile their efforts on a disc to watch every year and realize how much they have grown. Indulge their creativity by creating a director's chair, playing a part in the movie, or helping with costume designs.
7. Design a Story
Most kids have a favorite story or fairy tale and they would probably love inventing a new one with Mom and Dad. Sit down with the kids to create a new storybook, complete with kids' drawings. Take it a step further and use on of the many reasonably priced, online resources to turn that homemade book into a real printed work of art. Self-publishing your family story will truly become a favorite family memory.
8. Create a Restaurant Experience
Perk up an otherwise boring dinner by creating a menu, donning an apron, and carrying an order tablet to your family meal. Rather than serve the kids as usual, ask to take their order. The kids will likely find it hilarious to see Mom waitressing and Dad as the cook, even the older ones. You can also trade places with the kids who can prepare snacks or a lunch for you the next day.
9. Go Old School
Ban all electronics for a few hours and get kids back to the basics. Teach kids some old-fashioned but still fun games of yesteryear. You may have to conduct an online search to remember what you did before cell phones and Steve Jobs, but sharing these simple games with your kids will likely be a hit. Pick-up sticks, checkers, marbles, jacks, and many other family-friendly game ideas can be a great way to spend a cold day indoors.
10. Camp Indoors
Kids love a change of pace, especially when their parents aren't afraid to get silly with them. Seeing Mom and Dad setting up a tent in the living room will surely inspire kids to play along. Set up as much traditional camping stuff as you can including the tent, sleeping bags, camping chairs, a lantern, and a cooler. Turn off the lights in the house and use flashlights to tell ghost stories. Make a batch of s'mores in the microwave if you don't have a fireplace.
Creativity of parents can go a long way with kids. Beat back boredom by helping kids have fun rather than sitting back and waiting for them to entertain themselves. Create new traditions for snow days and winter vacations and have lots of fun in the process.

In high dimensional databases, traditional full space clustering methods are known to fail due to the curse of dimensionality. Thus, in recent years, subspace clustering and projected clustering approaches were proposed for clustering in high dimensional spaces. As the area is rather young, few comparative studies on the advantages and disadvantages of the different algorithms exist. Part of the underlying problem is the lack of available open source implementations that could be used by researchers to understand, compare, and extend subspace and projected clustering algorithms. In this work, we discuss the requirements for open source evaluation software and propose OpenSubspace that meets these requirements. OpenSubspace integrates state-of-the-art performance measures and visualization techniques to foster research in clustering in high dimensional databases.

Jean de Court, Marguerite de France as Minerva painted enamel, Limoges, 1555 (IIIF253)
In this remarkable portrait, Marguerite de France (_PHONE_), daughter of François 1 (d. 1547) and sister of Henri II (d. 1559), is depicted as Pallas/Minerva, classical goddess of war and wisdom.
This alludes to her role as protectress of contemporary French culture against 'le vilain monster Ignorance', the mantle bestowed upon her after she defended Pierre Ronsard's poetry against attack in 1549. Poets referred to Henri II's court as the 'Nouvel Olympe' and to Marguerite as 'la nouvelle Pallas'.
Limoges was the principal centre producing painted enamels in the 16th century. The bust of Henri d'Albret (no.24) is typical of mid-century portraits. D'Albret was married to Marguerite's aunt, the authoress Marguerite d'Angoulême. Marguerite's head is after a drawing attributed to François Clouet, now at Chantilly, which may have been the official image of the princess. Portraits in enamel were often modelled on drawings attributed to Clouet's workshop and may have been incorporated into panelling. Marguerite's costume and attributes as Pallas/Minerva are derived from a print by René Boyvin after Luca Penni. The armillary globe alludes to Marguerite's fame and to her motto, 'Wisdom, guardian of the world'. As goddess of war, she wears a breastplate, holds a spear and her shield decorated with the head of the Gorgon Medusa, and has a plumed helmet at her feet. As goddess of wisdom, Marguerite's foot rests on some books surmounted by an owl. Dramatised portraits were an established form of selfpropaganda, but examples in enamel are rare.
The portrait is painted in opaque and translucent enamel colours on a copper base. Silver foil below translucent blue enriches Marguerite's costume. The image was built up in successive kiln firings at diminishing temperatures. For the first firing, both sides of the metal were coated with enamel. Enamelling the back equalises the stress between the metal and the enamel on cooling, minimising distortion. Firing fuses the enamels to the base and produces their vivid colours and glossy surface. The gold, fusing at the lowest temperature, is applied last. This is the only fully signed and dated enamel by Jean de Court, about whom little is known. Art historians have long speculated as to whether he might have had some involvement with a workshop or workshops inscribing enamels 'I C' and 'I D C' (nos. 12, 13, 14 and 15).

Background: Students may become less adept at developing strong patientphysician relationships during medical school. We evaluated whether students choosing careers in surgery show a similar negative trend. Methods: Scores from 2 validated measurements of medical personality were compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance. The Patient Provider Orientation Scale (PPOS) assesses whether students are more patient-centered or paternalistic, and the Physician Reaction to Uncertainty Scale (PRUS) measures willingness to disclose uncertainty. Results: From 1998 to 2005, 236 students completed the PPOS and PRUS in the first and third year of medical school. Surgical students remained patient-centered in their first and third year of medical school (mean PPOS, 4.5 vs 4.54, respectively; P <.348). In addition, they became more willing to disclose uncertainty (mean PRUS improved from 25.5 to 23.8; P <.002). Conclusions: Students choosing careers in surgery maintain or improve upon personality traits that are important for developing strong patientphysician relationships. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT It has been recognized for some time that a significant fraction of most organic contaminants that are introduced into a soil becomes rapidly and irreversibly bound to the humin fraction of naturally-occurring organic matter. The insolubility of humin in essentially any solvent has made the study of these "bound residues" difficult. The ability to fractionate humin into four components (extractable lipids, bound-humic acid, bound lipids, and mineral matter) using the methyl-isobutylketone partitioning procedure is providing new insights into the phenomenon of bound-residue formation and the fate of anthropogenic organic compounds in natural environments. Results will be presented describing the formation of PCBand PAH-bound residues in humin using 14C-labeled compounds. The distribution of the radioactivity among the components of humin will be compared and contrasted.
KEYWORDS: soil organic matter, humin, bound residues, PCB, PAH

Celtic robes were worn by followers of the goddess religions in ancient Wales and the British Isles. Druid priests still wear the long, hooded white robes that designate their order to Stonehenge Summer Solstice celebrations. Celtic robes that echo ancient times are simple to make.

Things you need
- White hooded robe (plain)
- Contrasting trim
- 9 foot cording
- Green fabric paint or embroidery thread
Select a white robe, or one in a natural, organic shade. Ancient Celtic robes reflect personal qualities and are central to Druid identity. Consider the weight and texture of the fabric as well as how it fits---Druid priests considered the robes to be their skin.
Add fabric trim that contrasts with the robe or is associated with your favourite god or goddess. Sew the trim from the front bottom edge of the robe, up along the lapel, around the neck and down the opposite lapel to the bottom of the robe.
For a man, embroider or draw a green pentacle on the right sleeve or cuff. Pentacles display the degree of your Druid knowledge and become increasingly ornate with advanced knowledge.
Add a cord in a colour that matches or contrasts with the robe. In ancient times, Druid priests used a rolled cord, called Gwyddon Cord, to measure temples. This cord, used as a belt, is 9 feet long and has 5 knots. Each end is knotted, with a knot precisely in the middle and a knot exactly between each end and the middle knot.

Abstract : The Bearing Analysis Machine is a tool for the study of bearing-generated vibrations. It is used for Navy quiet bearing inspection and as a research tool. Analysis of two mathematical models determines the theoretical rigid-body, outer-ring response of the test bearing to forcing functions generated by both the machine components and the test bearing. The bearing outer-ring response per pound of forcing function was calculated for a Size 314 bearing under 100-pounds thrust load to illustrate the results for frequencies of 10 to 10,000 hertz. The results indicated greater bearing response to bearing-generated forces than to machine-generated forces. Therefore, for forcing functions of the same order of magnitude, the major contribution to the measured spectrum would result from bearing-generated forces. (Author)

text: Implantation of Ta into single crystal Ni3Al was conducted to determine the degree of surface hardening in monolithic alloys in relation to its lattice location. Ta was implanted at 400 keV to doses of 0.07, 0.36, and 2.52 × 1016 cm−2 along the axis of a crystal of Ni3Al at room temperature. Composition versus depth profiles were determined by RBS, and lattice location of Ta was determined by channeling angular yield scans about the axis. The hardness of the surface was measured by ultra-low load indentation. Results show that implantation softens the surface and that the Ta is randomly distributed between Ni and Al sites. Annealing at 1000 °C/1 h significantly reduces the damage and causes preferential occupation of Al sites by Ta, resulting in a slight increase in surface hardness. Further annealing at 1200 °C/0.25 h increases the surface hardness substantially and increases occupation of Al lattice sites to roughly 84%. Results are consistent with a model in which the as-implanted surface is softened by disordering, and subsequent diffusion of Ta to Al sites during thermal treatment causes hardening of the surface.

Iglic, Hajdeja, Jesper Rözer, and Beate Volker (2020). Economic crisis and social capital in European societies: the role of politics in understanding short-term changes in social capital. European Societies.
summary: How did the economic crisis impact social capital in European societies? The empirical studies conducted so far provide contradictory conclusions about the strength and direction of its influence. We argue that to better understand the effects of the economic crisis on social capital (social trust, formal and informal networks) it is crucial to examine both its impact on people's economic situation and the way it reshaped the relationship between individuals and political institutions and altered key political factors (political trust, the welfare state, political activism). Our analysis of European Social Survey data between 2006 and 2012 shows that changes in social trust were smaller than in formal and informal social networks. It also confirms that political factors played an important mediating role in producing these changes: changes in social trust and formal networks can especially be explained by the impact of the political factors, while variations in informal networks are mainly due to the changing economy. Moreover, the analyses show that while the economic crisis generally lowered social capital, some mechanisms such as a sense of togetherness and left-wing political activism, enhanced social capital.

As the rate of innovation increases, companies face expanding product/service lines, shorter product and service lifecycles, and more frequent product/service transitions. All of these can bring tremendous value but also pose enormous challenges and risks.
The article "The Art of Managing New Product Transitions" by Erhun, Gonclave, and Hopman (2007) from the readings for this module includes a matrix titled "Product Drivers and Risk Factors," which focuses on Intel, a company that manufactures high-tech products (p. 76). Based on your readings and research, address the following issues:
- Redesign the product risk factor matrix so that the factors are appropriate for a services firm that delivers traditional tax accounting and audit services. For example, among the supply risks, assume that the company relies on individuals with specific knowledge of the tax law in the jurisdictions where its clients operate, be it state, federal, or foreign.
- Now, assume that the firm wants to develop a management consultancy practice. (Alternatively, you may choose to add a legal services line instead.). Create a separate new matrix that summarizes the additional risk factors for this firm launching a management consultancy or legal services line. What additional risk factors are you adding to your matrix?
- Explain how the business risks differ between traditional tax and audit services and management consulting services. In your opinion, what are the three biggest risks the firm faces if it diversifies into the new service line?
- Recommend whether the firm should organically grow into a consultancy service or acquire a third party to achieve new goals. Justify your recommendations.

the goat a longer time to grow.
There are also people who believe that when a goat wakes up, it simply decides that it wants to get out of the area before its day is done.
Because this happens so frequently throughout the winter months in the Southern Hemisphere, there is no doubt that this is indeed the most common explanation for why a goat might decide to wake up and go for a long lazy walk around the pasture.
Then again, some people say that even if a goat's feet are warm, it does not mean that it wants to step outside into the cold. It just happens that the feet get cold and the goat's coat needs to protect itself from the cold. As it turns out, the goat's coat does not actually get cold, but it protects itself from the cold.
The most common explanation for why a goat might wake up at night is because the flock is in danger of being caught by predators.
If the predators catch the flock, not only will the goats get hurt but other birds and animals will be harmed as well, which is why the goat has to wake up in order to defend his flock.
Of course, some people say that this is completely unreasonable, considering that most goats will run away from predators when they hear their calls. But it does happen sometimes, and the goat simply has to wake up in order to save his goats. In any case, this type of behavior does not really harm the goats themselves, but it does inconvenience other people.
Sleep is Not the Most Important Item on the Goats to Do List
- Sleep is not the most important thing on the goats to do list. Sleep is important but not the most important. Sleep is like a friend that comes to shake you awake in the middle of a nightmare.
- Goat need to sleep and you will sleep as long as you want, but you cannot depend totally upon it.
- Goat still wake up sometimes in the middle of the night when I cannot shake the feeling that should go back to sleep, but I must stay conscious and alert to what is going on around me, and try to assess the situation before deciding to go back to sleep.

Glossary of Hillcrest organizations
Parent Teacher Association (PTA) — The PTA's fundamental goal is to positively impact the lives of all children. The Hillcrest PTA does that in three primary ways, including but not limited to: (1) raising money through various fundraisers, such as the Auction, Walkathon, Donation Letter, Scrip/Retail Programs, etc., to provide for school needs (e.g., classroom support, art/music/other enrichment, etc.) that are not funded by district, state or federal funds; (2) providing programs to parents and children that are educational, informative and entertaining; and (3) communicating news, activities and information to parents and children through various means including the website, e-mail and the Yellow Pages.
School Site Council (SSC) — Every Oakland Unified School District school has an SSC, an elected body of parents and teachers representing the Hillcrest community. (Parents are elected by the parents, teachers by the teachers.) The SSC meets monthly, generally on the first Monday of the month, at 3 pm at the school. The SSC is generally charged with advising the Principal on programs, positive school climate, activities, and expenditures at the school. In particular, the SSC is responsible for reviewing and approving the Single Plan for Student Achievement as well as monitoring progress toward achieving that plan and recommending revisions as appropriate.
Steps to Respect — Steps to Respect is a bullying prevention program for grades 3-5, also developed by Committee for Children; see _URL_ for more information about the organization. Children learn friendship skills and how to recognize, refuse and report bullying through videos, classroom discussions, skill practice, and children's novels. Through role-plays, children learn how to respond empathetically to others and practice friendship skills.

Top 5 Accounting Challenges Small Businesses Face
Sydney tax accounting services
Running a business is a challenging affair, especially managing financial and accounting operations. Any inefficacy in these two departments can be a game-changer for an organization. And several challenges can significantly influence profitability, business operations, and sustainability. Let's understand some accounting challenges, beating which can help your business grow.
Generating an Effective Budget: All the small businesses and startups don't have many funding opportunities. That makes it essential to create a budget and stick to it. However, while generating a budget, you should emphasize business goals, resources cost, infrastructure operations and needs, money availability, etc.
Management of Cash Flow: Cash flow refers to identifying the cash available for business. Management helps stay on the accounts receivable when balancing installments are still not complete.
Accounting System Efficiency: Make sure that all the accounting tasks occur on time. Diligently recording expenses and dues will not be sufficient as a startup enters the growth phase. Businesses require systems and workflow that evolves with the changing needs and numbers. Another requirement of a growing business is that it timely generates accounting figures and data for easy visualization of finances' status and health.
Hiring the Correct Resources: If a small business employs experienced tax accounting services from Sydney, it can significantly move towards efficient management and growth. Besides accounting, investing in the right resources can help solve all challenges for a small business.
Tax Return Lodging Process: A fast-growing or newly launched business needs to know what tax credits and deductions they can benefit from. It saves resources and helps ensure the company stays on top of all obligations.
