How to Get Approved for Short-Term Bad Credit Loans
By Angela Monroe - August 7, 2019
Bad credit loans help you get financing fast even with a poor credit background. They can be long-term, which run for more than three years, short-term, which usually last less than a year. Let's see the difference between long-term and short term bad credit loans.
Long-Term Vs Short-Term Bad Credit Loans
Long-term and short-term bad credit loans share several traits:
 1. Payment Methods
 Regardless of the terms, bad credit loans typically give you the options of either paying the loan back in a lump sum or periodic payments. The usual choice, however, is periodic payments because it makes the repayment affordable. It also allows you to spread out your finances on a weekly, monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis.
 2. Loan Requirements
 Licensed lenders of both short-term and long-term bad credit loans also abide by all state and federal loan requirements, including obtaining proper Australian credit licence or authorisation from a credit licensee before starting the business. Additionally, all bad credit loans are at risk of legal issues like fraud, defaults, tax evasion and other criminal violations that may require legal action to resolve.
 3. Risk
 Lastly, regardless of the loan terms, you are vulnerable to all predatory lenders. They take advantage of your poor credit and desperation to get financing by offering bad credit loans with very high interest and unfavourable loan terms.
There are also notable differences between the two:
 1. Length of the repayment period
 The most obvious difference between long-term and long-term bad credit loans is the length of the repayment period. Long-term loans can take around 5 to 10 years but may last as long as 30 years in some cases. Short-term loans, on the other hand, usually run from less than a year to 3 years.
 2. Loanable Amount
 Aside from the length of the repayment period, long-term and short-term bad credit loans differ in terms of the loanable amount that you can borrow. Long-term loans allow you to borrow millions in funding while short-term loans are usually limited to less than a hundred thousand dollars depending on the lender. The general rule of thumb is the bigger the loan amount, the longer the repayment period.
 3. Loan Interest Rates and Terms
 Shot-term bad credit loans also have higher and less flexible interest rates than long-term ones. This is to compensate for the shorter repayment period and also to avoid borrower default.
Bad Credit Loans Are Usually Short-Term
Because of the high risk that is associated with bad credit loans, they are generally of small amounts that are payable within a short term. The average amount that you can borrow is around $5,000 but it ranges from $200 to $10,000. The repayment period runs from several months to two years.
Some lenders, however, offer short-term bad credit loans of up to $100,000. The bigger the amount, the higher the risk of default so lenders often compensate by charging high interest and asking for a large down payment and adequate collateral.
Where to Get Short-Term Bad Credit Loans?
Banks rarely provide bad credit loans of any kind because they put great importance to good credit scores. Because the loanable amount is usually small, they earn only a little interest from this type of debt financing.
Nevertheless, many alternative lenders provide short-term bad credit loans like Loans For People With Bad Credit. These companies usually make it easier and faster for borrowers like you to secure financing by requiring little documentation and moving most of the process online.
How to Qualify
While the qualifications vary from one lender to another, they generally include:
 1. Australian citizenship
 2. Legal age
 3. Stable source of income
 4. A monthly earning of at least $1,500
 5. Collateral or personal guarantor
There is no surefire way to get approved for a bad credit loan regardless of its term. However, there are ways you can do to increase your chances of approval.
1. Shop around for bad credit loan rates and terms. Although bad credit loans have higher interest rates and less favourable terms than standard loans, these rates and terms differ from one lender to the next. By comparing rates, you can choose one with the lowest interest rate and most favourable term. You can also avoid falling victim to loan sharks who take advantage of your situation. These predators lend you money at an impossibly high interest rate to seize your collateral.
Make sure to do your loan shopping within two weeks to avoid further damage on your credit score. When inquiring for bad credit loan rates, your possible lender may pull out your credit profile. This hard inquiry negatively affects your credit score. However, all inquiries will be counted as one if they are made within a short period.
2. Check the eligibility criteria of short-term bad credit loans before applying. Different bad credit lenders set different eligibility criteria. Call each one to find out if you meet the criteria and to discuss your situation. Your bad credit rating hardly hurts your chances of approval for a bad credit loan, but lenders may use it as a basis for your interest rate and loan term calculations.
3. Review your credit profile. Make sure the information in your credit reports is accurate. One false or erroneous record can do great damage on your credit profile and score. You can request a free copy of your credit report from the credit bureaus once a year. If you have them, go through each information. Dispute all the errors and false data you find. The dispute process will take months but it's worth wait. If you've successfully disputed and resolved an issue, your credit score could dramatically increase.
Once you secure a short-term bad credit loan, make sure to make monthly on-time payments and complete your loan repayment within the agreed period. Your good payment history will improve your credit rating, making it easier for you to secure more financing options in the future.

Creating Critical Classrooms
Helping students to think critically is at the heart of the mission of St. Thomas. In this series of three workshops Distinguished University Professor Stephen Brookfield will draw on his new book - TEACHING FOR CRITICAL THINKING - to explore what critical thinking comprises and how it can be developed.
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Each workshop can be taken as a standalone session, or the three can be taken as an integrated sequence. Seating in each workshop is limited; registration is required.
September 12: Essentials of Teaching for Critical Thinking
This session reviews the different intellectual traditions informing how critical thinking is understood and considers how we recognize that students are thinking critically. It argues that what unites different conceptions of critical thought is the focus on recognizing, and scrutinizing, the assumptions that inform our thoughts and actions. The teaching approaches that students say are most helpful to their learning to think critically are reviewed and some preliminary techniques and exercises are introduced.
October 3: Creating Critical Classrooms
This session reviews how critical thinking can be integrated into both discussion-based, and lecture-based, classrooms. It introduces some specific dialogic activities to help students broaden their perspectives and also demonstrates how critical thinking can be encouraged and modeled in lectures.
November 7: Writing Critically
Most assessments of critical thinking occur through the medium of student writing. This session explores how students can be taught to understand what it means to do a critical analysis of literature and how course reading can be integrated into classroom processes.
Resources for Critical Thinking series
Presentations and handouts from the series can be found on the Blackboard community site "Faculty Development Learning Communities". To participate in discussions and share scenarios enroll in the site by logging into Blackboard and clicking on the Community tab and searching for the community called Faculty Development Learning Communities and clicking the Enroll button.

Machinability of carbon and alloy steels is a shear process. Working the metal (Shearing to create chip) provides heat. The subsequent sliding of the produced chip on the face of the cutting tool provides heat as well.
Three ways to improve machinability include
Optimizing the chemistry to provide for a minimum shear strength
Adding internally contained lubricants
Adjusting cold work
The steels that we are talking about are in large part composed of the ferrite phase. This is advantageous to us as machinists, because it has a relatively low shear strength.
Because ferrite is also ductile, it does not cut cleanly and tends to tear. Grade 1008 or 1010 are prime examples of how pure ferrite machines. Long stringy, unbroken chips, torn surface finishes and lots of machine down time to clear "birds nests" are typical results.
Adding carbon up to a point improves machinability by adding a second harder phase (pearlite) into the ferrite. The good news is that up to a point, the chip formation is greatly improved, and surface finish improves somewhat. The bad news is that the shear strength of the steel is also increased. This requires more work to be done by the machine tool.
Addition of Nitrogen and Phosphorous can not only increase the shear strength of the ferrite, but also reduce the ductility (embrittle it).This ferrite embrittlement promotes the formation of short chips, very smooth surface finishes, and the ability to hold high dimensional accuracy on the part being produced. The downside is that these additions can make the parts prone to cracking if subsequebnt cold work operations are performed.
The graph below shows how cold work (cold drawing reduction) works in combination to reduce chip toughness, resulting in controlled chip length, improved surface finish, and improved dimensional accuracy of the part. To read the graphs, the Nitrogen content is shown in one of two ranges, and Phosphorous content is varied as is the amount (%) cold work. You can see how the synergistic effects of these two chemical elements when appropriately augmented by cold work, can drop the materials toughness by as much as 80-90%.
Add to that internal lubrication by a separate manganese sulfide phase or a lead addition, and now you can see how these factors can make grade 1215 or 12L14 machinable at speeds far, far, faster than their carbon equivalent _PHONE_. With greater uptime and tool life.

And you thought that cold drawing just made the bar surface prettier and held closer in size…

Surg Obes Relat Dis
BACKGROUND: Portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare complication following bariatric surgery but can result in severe morbidity as well as death.
OBJECTIVE: Identification of risk factors for PVT to facilitate targeted management strategies to reduce incidence.
SETTING: Prospective, statewide bariatric-specific clinical registry.
METHODS: We identified all patients who underwent primary bariatric surgery between June 2006 and November 2021 (n = 102,869). Patient characteristics, procedure type, operative details, and 30-day postoperative complications were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression to evaluate for independent predictors of PVT.
RESULTS: A total of 117 patients (.11%) developed a postoperative PVT, with 6 (5.1%) associated deaths. The majority of PVTs occurred in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (109 patients; 93.2%), and the PVT occurred most commonly during the second (37%), third (31%), and fourth weeks (23%) after surgery. Independent risk factors for PVT included a prior history of venous thromboembolism (odds ratio [OR] = 3.1; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.64-5.98; P =.0005), liver disorder (OR = 2.3; 95% CI: 1.36-4.00; P =.0021), undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (OR = 12.4; 95% CI: 4.98-30.69; P <.0001), and postoperative complications including obstruction (OR = 12.5; 95% CI: 4.65-33.77; P <.0001), leak (OR = 7.9; 95% CI: 2.76-22.64; P =.0001), and hemorrhage (OR = 7.6; 95% CI: 3.57-16.06; P <.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Independent predictors of PVT include a prior history of venous thromboembolism, liver disease, undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, and experiencing a serious postoperative complication. Given that the incidence of PVT is most common within the first month after surgery, extending postdischarge chemoprophylaxis during this time frame is advised for patients with increased risk.

Tin case order need to know one, raw materials, raw materials are tinplate, grind arenaceous iron, galvanized iron, iron base board ( Commonly known as black iron) Use aluminum, etc., sometimes. The most commonly used are tinplate, generally the thickness of the metal products co., LTD. We often use a 0. 19 - 0. 35 mm, more than the thickness of the iron material can't do the printing. Grind arenaceous iron is commonly used, generally no printing products with frosted iron, not easy scratches, however, grind arenaceous iron will be more expensive. Galvanized iron is used commonly make iron drum, and other products that do not often use, thickness is commonly 0. 28 mm and 0. 30mm。 Four-color PRINTING, OFFSET PRINTING, OFFSET PRINTING, that is, government by red, yellow, blue and black four basic color, through the different proportion, PRINTING out all sorts of design. Generally, if there is no special requirement, quotation is four-color printing price. The color printing, 潘通色卡颜色), this is a kind of special printing, not by four color printed, but specially tuned out the color of the general buyers can provide the color number, to compare pantone book printing to color. General printing printing color to the other charge and printing. White magnetic ( white lacquer) : will the entire tin all painted white. Printed white ( 白色印刷) Light oil ( 银漆) ; Gold oil ( 金漆) The light effect ( 闪亮的完成) Matte effect ( 粗面) Too dumb light seal: tin part of light oil, part of a dumb light oil in addition, there are some special effect, a rubber oil, pearl oil, oil, orange oil, explosion cracked oil etc, these effect the price is more expensive, less used. In short, in describing a tin box printing requirements, is a white magnetic, please indicate or white, is four color printing, still have the color, is light effect, or matte effect, also indicate the other side is too light oil or gold. Three, the shape and structure of the tin box shape: according to the shape characteristics to distinguish, general tank type such as rectangular cans, round cans, oval cans, anise, and some special-shaped cans, such as: hand holding tank, heart-shaped boxes, etc. Tin box from structure mainly can be divided into a pot, two pieces of pot and three cans. A tank: is composed of a single piece of iron, such as: tray epicranium, iron, furnace, etc. Two piece cans: by the lid and bottom, composed of two pieces of iron stamping. Please note that this two pieces of tank can't do is too high, generally no more than 40 - 50毫米。 The two cans of mould once, its length and width are can't change. Three cans: by cover, body, bottom of three parts. In two piece cans, although three cans of length and width can't change, but the height can be modified according to the requirements of the guests, can change high or short four 1, tin box commonly used terms. Two hinges: will the lid and bottom of the tin box together. Two hinges are divided into three types: wire hinge, window hinge, iron hinge. Three, open the window hinge the most simple and cheap, iron hinge the most complex and most expensive. 2.

Fraser Syndrome
Fraser SyndromeThis is a relatively rare medical condition in which there is visible webbing of the fingers and toes, renal dysfunction, genital malformations etc. Fraser syndrome is known by other various names like Cryptophthalmos-Syndactyly Syndrome, Cryptophthalmos Syndrome, and Cyclopism among others.
Fraser Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
What is Fraser Syndrome?
Fraser Syndrome as stated is a rare genetic condition in which there is visible webbing of fingers and toes. There is also renal dysfunction, genital malformations, and in some instances total fusion of eyelids, a condition called as cryptophthalmos, which may result in blindness. In infants affected with Fraser syndrome, renal abnormalities may involve inadequate development or hypoplasia and even absence of kidneys whether a solitary kidney or both the kidneys. In males with Fraser Syndrome, the testes may not to descend enough into the scrotum, there may be presence of hypospadias, and the penis may be extremely small. In females with Fraser Syndrome, there may be presence of clitoromegaly or abnormally shaped uterus. Additionally, there may also be presence of ear dysfunction resulting in hearing problems. Fraser Syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which means that both parents need to have the affected gene causing Fraser Syndrome.
Causes of Fraser Syndrome
As stated, Fraser syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder. The altered gene has been stated to be present in long arm of chromosome 4 (4q21). Chromosomes present in nucleus of human cells have genetic information for every person. By Autosomal Recessive, one means that the abnormality is inherited by the chromosomes of both parents.
Symptoms of Fraser Syndrome
If an individual is affected with Fraser Syndrome, then that individual will have visible physical abnormalities, which can include complete fusion of the eyelids causing a condition called as cryptophthalmos, missing kidneys, webbed fingers or toes. Some of the other defects associated with Fraser Syndrome are hair growth extending from forehead to eyebrows, malformation of eyelid ducts, widely spaced nipples, along with mental impairment. There may also be inadequate development of the genitals
Diagnosis of Fraser Syndrome
Diagnosis is usually made on a detailed physical examination and history taking, especially if there is a family history of Fraser Syndrome. Confirmation of the diagnosis is pretty visible with the deformities mentioned above and can also be confirmed by imaging studies.
Treatment for Fraser Syndrome
Treatment of Fraser syndrome mainly involves surgical procedure to correct the physical deformities involved with this Fraser Syndrome. Apart from surgery, other treatments are generally supportive. Genetic counseling is usually beneficial for parents of children affected with this Fraser Syndrome.

Fingerprint Image Segmentation: A Review of State of the Art Techniques
International Journal of Management, Technology, and Social Sciences (IJMTS), 2(2), 28-39
12 Pages Posted: 25 Aug 2017
Date Written: August 24, 2017
In Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), pre-processing of the image is a crucial process in deciding the quality and performance of the system. Pre-processing is consists many stages as Segmentation, Enhancement, Binarisation, and Thinning. In this segmentation is one of the steps of pre-processing which differentiate foreground and background region of fingerprint images. Segmentation is the separation of the fingerprint region or extraction of the presence of ridges from the background of the initial image. Segmentation is necessary because it constructs the region of interest from the input image, reduces the processing time, increases the recognition or matching process performance, and reduces the probability of false feature extraction. A 100% accurate segmentation is always very difficult, especially in the very poor quality image or partial image filled with noise such as the presence of latent. Fingerprints are made of Ridge and Valley structure and their features are classified in three levels as Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 1 Features are singular macro details like ridge pattern and ridge flows. Level 2 is ridge local features like ridge bifurcation and ridge ending or simply minutiae points or ridge orientation. Level 3 is micro details like sweat pores, incipient ridges. This paper provides an overview of the state of the art techniques of fingerprint image segmentation and contribution of other researchers on segmentation. This paper also discusses a different class of segmentation algorithms with its measuring parameters, computational complexity, advantages, limitations, and applications.

Design Lab 3 (ENV-204) 2014 Fall
Course Description Axo01
Diagramming is a very powerful tool to communicate design ideas to an audience. As designers, we are responsible for conveying complex ideas in a clear and effective way. Diagrams can also be used for the analysis of information. By classifying multiple layers of information into a clear and visual format, the diagram can lead to a strong driver for concept development.
In the process of drawing, we can extract meanings from collected information, and process them in a creative ways. A diagram can set up a hierarchy of information by prioritizing this data.
The most effective diagram in spatial design is an exploded axonometric. To explain spatial organization, circulation, and program, different drawing methodologies can be used to map complex ideas. Depending on the intent, one can choose a planimetric, sectional, axonometric, or perspectival views.
In Diagram Studio, the course will be divided into three sections. Section 1 will research and analyze data. Section2 will be concept development through diagrams. Finally, Section 3 will be dedicated to exploded axonometric drawings. Each week, there will be a lecture session followed by class discussion on relevant precedents. Students are expected to work in studio and produce diagrams each week relating to discussed topics.

What's the correct term?
As Mari-Lou has said, puréed is probably the best term, and the one most often used today:
Baby food is normally puréed.
However, if you want a word with a Germanic root, rather than a loan-word, then you could use mashed:
Baby food is normally mashed.
Older recipe books (printed before the advent of food processors) would probably use mashed instead of puréed, and the term mashed is still used in traditional British cooking. For example: mashed potatoes, bangers and mash.
mash verb [WITH OBJECT]
Reduce (a food or other substance) to a pulpy mass by crushing it:
- 'mash the beans to a paste'
- 'mashed banana'
Mush (or the adjective mushy) is usually the first word that comes to my mind when I think of any baby food. It's a slightly derogatory word that an older child or adult might say if he or she were served with some creamy but tasteless mass of food.
- any thick, soft mass.
If the OP wants the correct descriptive term for baby food, there is only one choice. It is purée or pureed, it is the standard, and positive term that especially describes homemade baby food.
Puree (or spelled purée) is a French loanword that has been used in English for over three hundred years, long before the invention of the electric blender.
1. a cooked food, especially a vegetable or fruit, that has been put through a sieve, blender, or the like.
verb (used with object), puréed, puréeing.
- McGrady pureed organic fruits and veggies for William and Harry
Comparing pureed fruit (blue line), mashed fruit (red), sieved fruit (green), and ground fruit (yellow) Ngram produces the following results.
"to Puree" is the technical term which describes the process of making a substance like baby food.
"Baby food is a Puree" is a true statement no matter how you look at it, is not derogatory and is well know and widely used.
I wouldn't recommend using the word "pap" as I am a native speaker who has a girlfriend with kids and I have never heard it. Also if you were to google it, you might understand how it could be an embarrassing word to be misunderstood using while using it.
No, it's not mush (which applies to many things that are not baby food), and although it is definitely puréed or mashed, so are many other foods.
If you're looking for a word to describe it, that word is
1. Soft or semiliquid food, as for infants.

A family of rabbits ran helter-skelter whenever any animal came near them, fearing they would be trampled to death.
One day, hearing the sound of horses' hoof beats from a nearby forest, they were terrified. They decided they would rather die than live in constant fear. So, they went down to the river to drown themselves. When they reached the river, they found lots of mice running hither and thither, to escape their clutches. The rabbits realised that the mice were terrified of them. They were amazed and said, "We thought we were the only little ones who lived in terror. But these tiny animals are even more scared of us."
Happily, they returned to their burrows and stopped living in fear from that day on.


"Security is not a product but a process" – Bruce Shnieder
A short answer to this question would be, yes, Roller shutters are safe. The preceding question would be can roller shutters be broken into? Just like any physical barriers such as a wall, they can be broken into. Does it mean you don't need them? No, because the level of threats that a physical barrier can protect you from will significantly add to you security to a degree that it has to be mandatory to the least.
The building material of construction such as plasterboard, brick, block, non-security rated composite panels, steel cladding or shipping containers, etc., can be breached in a surprisingly short period of time. The actual success of a breach or safety of roller shutters is dependent on a number of factors such as (1) ;
 1. Substrate material: wooden frames, steel frames, concrete brickwork etc.
 2. The Attack tools: Screwdriver, Claw hammer, Crowbar, Hammer, Disc grinder etc.
 3. Physical Barrier product (roller shutter door).
 4. Duration of the attack.
Given enough time and the right tools, any physical barrier can be breached or broken through. Which is also the reason that in most more layers utilised to reduce the risk. Simply put, physical security concerns four main areas: Deterring intruders (visible roller shutters, Security gates, sectional doors, higher walls, electric fence and burglar bars etc), Detecting and Delaying attackers (CCTV, intruder detections systems etc), and Responding to an attack (police or private personnel) (2).
With much attention being placed on the role of emerging technologies such CCTV connected to your phones etc. in the fight against crime in South Africa, it is often easy to become detracted from the basics of home security. However, good physical security is the bedrock and/or foundation of an effective security solution in your house and property. Without the delay to intrusion provided by an effective physical security barrier, detection simply tells you the intruders presence and intentions. It is therefore always important to ensure suitable physical security measures are in place and that those measures provide sufficient delay to enable the intruder to be detected and a suitable response mounted in order to apprehend the intruder.
Either the barrier is roller shutter, security gate or burglar bar. It is along this train of thought and or principle that we design our physical security barriers solutions at Xpanda.


text: This data set provides a global distribution of nine subgrid snow-depth-variability categories and a coefficient of variation applicable to each category, as the result of the Subgrid SNOW Distribution (SSNOWD) submodel that defines subgrid snow-depth and snow-cover variability. This data set provides the distribution of those nine categories and their coefficient-of-variation values on a global, 2.5 arc-min latitude-longitude (approximately 5-km) grid. The time period covered is 1 January 1994 through 1 January 2004. The SSNOWD submodel was formulated to improve the depiction of autumn through spring land-atmosphere interactions and feedbacks within global weather, climate, and hydrologic models. From both atmospheric and hydrologic perspectives, the subgrid snow-depth distribution is an important quantity to account for within large-scale models. In the natural system, these subgrid snow-depth distributions are largely responsible for the mosaic of snow-covered and snow-free areas that develop as the snow melts, and the impacts of these fractional areas must be quantified in order to realistically simulate grid-averaged surface fluxes. SSNOWD's formulation incorporates observational studies showing that snow distributions can be described by a lognormal distribution and the snow-depth coefficient-of-variation (CV). Using an understanding of the physical processes that lead to these observed snow-depth variations, a global distribution of nine subgrid snow-depth-variability categories was developed, and coefficient-of-variation values were assigned to each category based on published measurements. Data are in binary format.


5 Different Versions Of The Money Plant
The term "money plant" is often used in conversations about keeping and caring for houseplants.
Most popular feng shui items on Amazon
But people don't always refer to the same plant that they know as the money plant.
This is because there are actually a few plants in horticulture that has been marketed and labeled with that attention-grabbing nickname.
Some have this name tagged to it in culture, some have features that are indirectly associated with wealth, and some even don't appear to have anything to do with… anything!
So what are your friends actually referring to?
1) Money tree
It is probably safe to say that the pachira aquatica is recognized in various parts of the world as the money tree.
It's claim to fame is it's unique braided trunk that resembles a friendship band.
The plant is actually coaxed to grow this way by expert cultivators who have practiced doing it for years.
The tree is usually grown at a small size as a houseplant. But can be allowed to grow to quite a considerable size if you allow it to.
They require minimum maintenance and therefore, make the perfect indoor tree plant to have at home.
2) Golden pothos
The golden pothos is actually a very common house plant in various parts of Asia.
They come with various pet names like devil's ivy and silver vine creeper among others.
Their specialty is the ability of it's vines to climb up any structure, totally consuming it.
This is why they are a nightmare for other plants to share a territory in.
It is a species that has such a thirst for life that a single snapped stem can be left in water, and roots will start to grow within a matter of days.
It's claim to the title of money plant originates from it's huge green leaves that are said to remind one of the dollar bill.
3) Jade plantThe jade plant also lay claim to the good luck money plant moniker mainly because of it's leaves like the pothos.
Only this time, it's not that they have broad luxurious leaves. But their leaves are thick and succulent with a shade of green that reminds on of the jade gemstone.
Hold a leaf between your thumb and index finger and you'd feel it for yourself.
As jade has historically been a symbol of wealth and wisdom, it is often placed in homes and business premises to call on wealth luck.
The best part is that they can be pretty small sized. Making them cute and easily manageable.
Also known as crassula, it's one of the favorites among people for desktop plants that would only take up minimum space.
4) Chinese money plant
This is an easy one to add onto this list. And you might be able to guess why.
It's scientific name is pilea peperomioides, and also goes by a string of aliases such as pancake plant and mirror glass.
The Chinese money plant is so named because it's leaves are round in shape, resembling coins.
So "money" metaphorically grows out of the potted plant.
While it is not known to be a difficult plant to maintain, it is not often seen in the wild.
Leading researchers to speculate that this species of plants are picky with the surrounding environment where they can thrive.
5) Gem tree
Gem trees are artificial plants that are usually shaped like a bonsai, made of resin, and filled with gemstones as "leaves".
Sometimes called the wishing tree, they can be quite pricey depending on the types and grades of crystals used.
It's easy to see why they have been given the nick name.
High-end gem trees can be filled with premium grade gemstones.
The idea of the gem tree is to combine the form of a lucky money plant and the power of crystals to bring wealth luck for an owner.
They are best placed in wealth locations.

Consider current level technology - surveillance satellites, patrol boats, coastal guards, both USA and Russian anti-submarine jet aircraft patrolling skies of Arctic Sea.
I have a big group (~1000) of genetically enhanced people (in my setting they are a vanguard part of interplanetary invasion - in vitro born chimeras with ~99% humans DNA and mind copied from alien), they have much more endurance and strength than average people (they can jog 100+ miles (160km+) per day with 250lbs (113 kg) backpack), they can see in dark clearly, and they have perfect sense of direction, so no GPS or compasses required for them, alongside with night vision goggles and flashlights, but they are still flesh and bone - they can freeze to death (after few hours in cold water), they can starve, orcas and white bears consider them delicious, but, on the same time - raw orcas and white bears meat are considered edible by invaders too.
Also, my invaders don't have any alien tech with them - because aliens do not want humanity to understand interplanetary invasion is happening.
They want to move secretly from Canada to Russia (and back) using skies, kayaks, dog sleds, snowmobiles, rubber boats, etc and other items, vehicles, gadgets they can get from good general stores popular among hikers. Probably the best time for them is during the polar night.
My ideas:
 1. Using passenger jets and other usual means of transport usable by people is not an option, because none of my invaders have government-issued ID (but they have cash and anything they can steal), and all they look quite suspicious - I mean, you'll find there is something not right with this person even if you have no idea who he/she is. Also hijacking passenger planes is not a good idea - there are a lot of USA/Canadian/Russian jet fighters that can take down any plane in a few minutes.
 2. They can mimic native people (Inuit or Chukchi people), but it's quite a big group of invaders, and they don't look like native people.
 3. Big groups of invaders can spread to smaller groups, not a problem.
 4. Unfortunately, building a flying saucer vehicle on the closest scrapyard is not possible - they don't have both nano fabricators and element -1 reserves, they have to use present technologies and resources.
So the question is:
How they can pass through Arctic Sea undetectable by Russia/Canada/USA/Norway and back?
It's OK if the journey took few weeks, but they have to make it undetected.
It's possible they can free ride a cargo ship or hijack a plane but I want them to exactly traverse Arctic Sea by their own, without drawing attention.
It's OK, if the solution sounds a little stupid - like put on white fluffy clothes and move on 4 to mimic white bears - probably, it's good tactics to trick air patrol with thermovisors.
It's OK if the solution is something out of the box, like making underwater habitats pulled by orcas (but, IMHO, it's very unrealistic).

 $\begingroup$ "They don't look like native people": why not? Seen from an aircraft, a man enveloped in furs looks like a man enveloped in furs. They don't plan to cross the Artic naked, do they? If I were the planner I would have them dress like Eskimos, cross the Bering strait in winter and move overland in small groups of two or three sleds pulled by dogs; and then melt in the taiga. On the Russian side the taiga extends just north of Kamtchatka, so they don't have to cross all that much open land. $\endgroup$ – AlexP Oct 5 '19 at 11:51

 $\begingroup$ _USER_, small problem...it's the 21st Century. Seeing someone in the Arctic these days dressed in traditional furs and traveling by dogteam would be as inconspicuous across much of the north, especially in Canada, as someone trying to blend anonymously into the crowds in a modern American city dressed like a Pilgrim. Here, for example, is a group of modern seal hunters: img.src.ca/2015/10/01/635x357/… $\endgroup$ – Keith Morrison Oct 6 '19 at 4:16

 $\begingroup$ _USER_: Furs and dogs are formal parameters. I have no idea how the inhabitants of the Arctic actually dress and travel, but I suspect that however they dress is bulky and doesn't show that much skin or hair, and they travel using some sort of snow-adapted vehicles. $\endgroup$ – AlexP Oct 6 '19 at 4:21

 $\begingroup$ Why don't they just hijack a cargo ship going their way a few kilometers off the coast and follow the ships route, pretending to be the legal crew, having most of the invaders hiding inside containers in case some other cargo ship spots them? Once they are close to the Russian coast they can use normal scuba gear the rest of the way, considering that they should be able to swim quite fast. Paint some ISIS symbols on the side of the ship once you leave it and no one will look for alien invaders. Much quicker, safer and easier. $\endgroup$ – Morfildur Oct 8 '19 at 6:56
Consider different parts of the globe, in the real world.
 - Illegal immigrants are trying to walk across quite inhospitable terrain at the US southern border. Some are caught, many get through.
 - Illegal immigrants are trying to cross the Mediterranean on small watercraft. For some, the goal is to be rescued by ships which do not return them to Africa. For others, the goal is to actually get through. Again, some are caught, many get through.
 - In a different vein, drug smugglers are using various routes. In some cases, they hide the contraband in vehicles that are insufficiently searched. In some cases, the goal is to keep their boat, semi-submersible, or aircraft undetected. Again, some are caught, many get through.
These examples suggest to me that detection is not much of an issue if nobody is looking out for it. Drones and recon sats produce lots and lots of data, and only a small part is analyzed with the attention that is given to a North Korean missile site or an Iranian naval base. It would take someone with an initial suspicion to look at satellite imagery or recon drone pictures over time to detect the organized group moving.
So the first question is the physical challenge. People walked across parts of the Antarctic. If your aliens are superhuman as you describe them, they can probably do the Arctic trip.
The problem could be random chance and do-gooders. If a single kayak is spotted near the North Pole, and quick googling shows no known record attempt, someone might send the Coast Guard.
Instead of Canada to Norway, consider Alaska to Russia across the Bering Strait and then through Siberia on foot. The total trip is longer, the over-water part is shorter. And hikers or cars are not terribly unusual on either side.
Again random chance could be a problem. Some friendly hunter comes across a camp of the aliens and wants to chat a bit before he looks for another moose. Some pipeline workers see hikers and shout hello. You could introduce a couple of close calls in your story, but none which causes an alert.
 - $\begingroup$ This might work for a small group, but nothing anywhere near like the ~1000 mentioned by the OP. Any group of people that large would be hard-pressed to make such a journey undetected. $\endgroup$ – Darrel Hoffman Oct 7 '19 at 18:15

 $\begingroup$ _USER_, they don't have to move together. A couple hundred small groups. $\endgroup$ – o.m. Oct 7 '19 at 18:41

 $\begingroup$ Yeah, I just think even if they broke it down into smaller groups, there's no way that many people are making that long a trip without some of them being spotted at some point. Unless you spread them out over several years maybe. OP is okay with several weeks, but I don't think that's enough time for a group that large. There aren't many people in that part of the world, but it's not completely uninhabited either. (Mind you this is still better than kayaking the Arctic, but I still think the whole idea is a little infeasible.) $\endgroup$ – Darrel Hoffman Oct 7 '19 at 18:49
I am going to claim expertise on this issue for a major reason: I live in the Arctic. I've also participated in search and rescues in the Arctic. The basic answer to this is that small groups of sufficiently-prepared people actively trying to evade detection and if no one is specifically looking for them can do it trivially by any number of means.
It's hard enough to find people close to communities who want to be found.
However, and this is important to


10 famous open letters that caught the public's imagination
Open letter
Open letters can be a powerful ways to make a point. Below are some of the most famous
A Dutch dad's heartbreaking open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin following the death of his daughter Elsemiek de Borst on doomed Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 went viral after touching the hearts of people around the world.
Hans de Borst wrote the letter, below, after Elsemiek was killed with 297 others when the Malaysian Airlines jet was blown out of the sky over Ukraine on July 17, 2014.
Open letters can be extremely effective way of making your ideas known — especially in the modern day, when the potential audience is unlimited thanks to the power of the internet.
But they have been used throughout history to make important points, some of which have changed the world, others of which have hit headlines for other reasons.
Here we look at ten other open letters that have captured the public's imagination — and, in some cases, changed the world.
10 Martin Luther King Jr's letter from Birmingham Jail
This letter, also known as The Negro Is Your Brother, was an open letter written by civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr to his fellow clergymen from inside Birmingham jail, Alabama, in April 1963.
Luther King had been incarcerated there after taking part in marches against racism and racial segregation in the city.
The letter, written on a newspaper and smuggled out the jail by his lawyers before being published, backed the civil rights movement's nonviolent resistance to racism and said people were morally responsible for breaking laws that were unjust.
The letter told of his hope that "the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away".
It was extensively reprinted and helped change the course of the American civil rights fight and helped end racial segregation and discrimination.
9 USA Boxing to Mike Tyson
This open letter from USA Boxing to Mike Tyson was released in October 2013 to try and stop the former sports star from poaching young talent from the potential squad for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The letter claimed by signing up their young athletes to professional contracts at a young age Tyson was undermining the US Olympic Boxing Team and taking away vital resources that help the youngsters develop as boxers, teach them values and a moral code, and the skills to continue to work after their boxing careers end.
However, the letter didn't go down well in all corners. ESPN called it "sanctimonious", "righteous" and "indignant".
Tyson also issued his own response calling the letter "erroneous" and accused them of "disrespect" and of using his name for publicity rather than contacting him directly.
8 Sinead O'Connor to Miley Cyrus
Irish singer Sinead O'Connor wrote an open letter to new kid on the block Miley Cyrus after the 20-year-old said her highly-sexual Wrecking Ball video was inspired by Sinead's song Nothing Compares 2 U.
Sinead said she wanted to warn Miley she was being 'pimped' by the music industry.
Furore erupted after the letter was released, with singer of The Dresden Dolls Amanda Palmer responding with her own open letter to Sinead O'Connor saying she was "off target" as Miley was making the decisions to be sexual herself.
Sinead then published a string of hard-hitting follow-up letters to Miley explaining her position.
7 Siegfried Sassoon to British military leadership
Sassoon was an English poet, writer and soldier during the First World War. In 1917 he wrote an open letter to the British military leadership protesting against the continuation of war.
Titled Finished with the War: A Soldier's Declaration, it was published in the Press and read out in the British Parliament — causing a massive hoo-ha.
Some critics said Sassoon had committed treason by encouraging defiance against the military leadership.
In it he said: "I believe that [the war] is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.
Shortly afterwards he was deemed mentally ill and sent to a mental institution to be treated for 'shell shock'.
6 Emile Zola to Felix Faure (President of France)
One of the most famous open letters of all time, writer Emile Zola's letter entitled J'Accuse! (I accuse!) was written to then President of France Felix Faure in January 1898.
It accused Faure and his government of anti-Semitism and the unlawful jailing of Alfred Dreyfus, a French Army officer, for espionage and treason on questionable evidence.
The letter was published on the front page of French newspaper L'Aurore. It played a big role in shaping public opinion over what is today regarded as a major miscarriage of justice.
Zola fled to England after its publication to avoid being jailed when he was found guilty of libel.
5 Bill Gates' Open Letter to Hobbyists
Gates' open letter to computer hobbyists was written in 1976 — condemning the theft of computer software.
Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and today the richest man in the world, said hobbyists using software without paying it would harm the computer industry over the long term.
He was prompted to write the letter after people kept copying his firm's Altair BASIC software without him receiving any returns.
Gates said it would put people off investing time and money in developing software in the future — and "stop good software being written".
He said: "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software. Hardware must be paid for, but software is something to share. Who cares if the people who worked on it get paid? Is this fair?".
The letter was published in the Homebrew Computer Club Newsletter as well as a string of other magazines.
It prompted a huge debate on how software is developed and sold, paving the way for the computer industry we see today.
4 Mahatma Gandhi's advice to Hitler
Mahatma Gandhi wrote his open letter to Hitler in the build-up to World War II — calling him the "one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to the savage state".
He asked him to follow in his example in deliberately shunning war.
The letter never reached Hitler after the British government intervened — and war broke out less than six weeks later when Germany invaded Poland.
3 Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public
The letter on corpulence, a letter to the public written in booklet form, was penned by undertaker William Banting after he lost weight by switching to a low-carbohydrate diet.
He had been obese when he found out about the diet through a visit do a doctor. The booklet was basically a diet book, which included a plan on how to lose weight like he did.
It also told of other ways he'd tried to lose weight in the past and failed.
The pamphlet became very popular for many years and laid the path for the diet books of today.
2 The family of Emmett Till to Lil' Wayne
Hip-hop star Lil' Wayne was forced to apologise after offending the family of Emmett Till, a 14 year old murdered in Mississippi after allegedly flirting with a white woman, with one of his lyrics.
Wayne likened Till's beating to sex on the remix of Future's song Karate Chop.
The family were so outraged they penned a two-page letter to Wayne accusing him of 'destroying the preservation and legacy of Emmett Till's memory and name'.
It added: "How would you feel if your child was beaten beyond recognition, body mutilated and disfigured, torchered for hours, unnecssarily shot after being BEATEN TO DEATH, lynched in barbed wire weighted down by a 70 pound cotton gin fan and tossed in a river with intent to never be found again?".
Lil wayne was dropped from an advertising campaign with Mountain Dew after fury erupted over the controversy.
The lyric was then removed from the track and Wayne issued an apology, although it was rejected by Emmett Till's relatives.
1 Niels Bohr to the UN
Niels Bohr was one of the the 20th century pre-eminent physicists, winning the Nobel Prize in 1922 for his work on quantum theory and the structure of the atom.
He wrote his open letter to the UN in June 1950, calling for greater international cooperation and monitoring of nuclear energy.
He said that "in placing formidable means of destruction in the hands of man, presented our whole civilization with a most serious challenge".
He called for a centralised committee to be set up to keep tabs on work done on nuclear energy. The letter led to the setting up of the Atomic Energy Agency.

Q: I have a son who is 16 months old and he has been diagnosed as having laryngo malacia.I would like to know more about this condition. He makes a constant sound. Is there any treatment for this condition. Does it hinder his normal growth? How long does this condition last? Please advise
A:Laryngomalacia is a common cause of stridor (the sound made by your child) in infants. The structures above the glottis collapse into the airway lumen on inspiration, producing a coarse sound. This noise begins in the first few weeks after birth and is often increased in the lying down position. It may increase in intensity in some infants during eating, crying or sleeping. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) appears to be strongly related to laryngomalacia. In most patients the disease is self-limiting and should resolve by 18 months of age. Nearly 5% of patients have serious sequelae, such as failure to thrive or episodes of respiratory distress and cyanosis. Medical therapy for GER is helpful in some patients. Rarely, surgical therapy is required for symptom relief.


text: We present 12 new transit light curves of the hot-Jupiter TrES-3b observed during 2012-2018 to probe the transit timing variation (TTV). By combining the midtransit times determined from these 12 transit data with those reestimated through uniform procedure from 71 transit data available in the literature, we derive new linear ephemeris and obtain the timing residuals that suggest the possibility of TTV in the TrES-3 system. However, the frequency analysis shows that the possible TTV is unlikely to be periodic, indicating the absence of an additional body in this system. To explore the other possible origins of TTV, the orbital decay and apsidal precession ephemeris models are fitted to the transit time data. We find the decay rate of TrES-3b to be (P) overt dot(q) = -4.1 +/- 3.1 ms( )yr(-1), and the corresponding estimated modified stellar tidal quality factor of Q(*)' similar to 1.11 x 10(5) is consistent with the theoretically predicted values for the stars hosting the hot-Jupiters. The shift in the transit arrival time of TrES-3b after 11 years is expected to be T-s(hift) similar to 69.55 s, which is consistent with the rms of the timing residuals. Besides, we find that the apsidal precession ephemeris model is statistically less probable than the other considered ephemeris models. It is also discussed that despite the fact that the linear ephemeris model appears to be the most plausible model to represent the transit time data, the possibility of the orbital decay cannot be completely ruled out in the TrES-3 system. To confirm this, further high-precision and high-cadence follow-up observation of transits of TrES-3b would be important.

Long before Kerrygold was ever heard of - in fact, as far back as written records go - dairying has played a starring role in Ireland. In the old days, Irishmen kept cattle for milk more than for meat, and status was derived from the bounty of your herd.
How did cows become the cornerstone of Irish wealth? Simple. Ireland was made for milk. It has everything you need to make a cow happy: good soil, a mild climate, moisture-bearing southwesterly winds, and all the green grass you can chew.
It didn't take long to figure out that happy cows produce amazing milk, which can then be churned into unbeatable butter. As early as the 17th century, Ireland was sharing its butter with the world. Irish boats were being met at the dock by salivating Swedes, Danes, Portuguese, Frenchmen, Spaniards and American colonists - just as Kerrygold butter is today.
The butter is so appealingly golden that it looks as though it has been colored, although the color is natural, coming from the beta-carotene in the intense green Irish grass consumed by the cows. Made in the style of all premium European butters, Kerrygold's higher fat content gives its butter a distinctive richness. The foil wrapper preserves freshness and premium quality

E. Syriani, R. Bill, M. Wimmer: Domain-Specific Model Distance Measures, 12th International Conference on Model Transformations (ICMT 2019), Eindhoven, The Netherlands, July 15-19, 2019 pdf.
A lot of research was invested in the last decade to develop differencing methods to identify the changes performed between two modelversions. Typically, these changes are captured in an explicit difference model. However, less attention was paid to quantifying the distance between model versions. While different versions of a model mayhave the same amount of differences, their distance to the base model may be drastically different. Therefore, we present distance metrics formodels. We provide a method to automatically generate tool support for computing domain-specific distance measures. We show the benefits of distance measures over model differences in the use case of searching for the explanation of model evolution in terms of domain-specific change operations. The results of our experiments show that using distance metrics outperforms common difference models techniques.pdf

Many disaster stories have been passed down through history.
Many disaster stories have been passed down through history. In this post, we look at some Australian Aborigine stories.
The Luritja people, native to the remote deserts of central Australia, once told a story about an impact disaster:
"A fire devil coming down from the Sun, crashing into Earth and killing everything in the vicinity."
The Gunditjmara people describe a tsunami:
"A gigantic wave coming very far inland and killing everybody except those who were upon the mountaintops."
In The Legend of The Great Flood, a drought is described in the time before the flood:
"In the dream-time, a terrible drought swept across the land. The leaves of the trees turned brown and fell from the branches, the flowers drooped their heads and died, and the green grass withered as though the spirit from the barren mountain had breathed upon it with a breath of fire. When the hot wind blew, the dead reeds rattled in the river bed, and the burning sands shimmered like a silver lagoon.
All the water had left the rippling creeks, and deep, still water holes. In the clear blue sky, the sun was a mass of molten gold; the clouds no longer drifted across the hills, and the only darkness that fell across the land was the shadow of night and death."
In a story about Lake Euramoo, an earthquake is described:
"The broken taboo angered the rainbow serpent Yamany, the dominant spirit of the area … As a result, 'the camping-place began to change, the earth under the camp roaring like thunder. The wind started to blow down as if a cyclone were coming. The camping-place began to twist and crack. While this was happening, there was in the sky a red cloud, of a hue never seen before. The people tried to run from side to side but were swallowed by a crack which opened in the ground'…"
The Gugu Badhun Aboriginal people tell a story of an enormous volcanic eruption.
"Once upon a time, a huge explosion rocked the land, and a massive crater appeared in the ground. A cloud of malicious dust filled the air, and when people wandered into it, they disappeared forever. The air was so hot that along the waterfronts, the ground appeared to be on fire."
And finally, this Aboriginal story tells of a time when the sea was lower.
These stories were once thought to be myths, but science is proving them to be true. Humans have been living with disasters since the beginning of time, and we will continue to live with them.
Learn to live with nature, and you will survive; fight it, and you will lose.

The solar corridor concept examines approaches to better use light in row crops. To achieve this goal, an understanding of the diel patterns of light transmittance to the soil surface in the interrow zone in row crops is necessary. The objective of this study was to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of light transmittance to the soil surface at different row positions. Light data and leaf area of maize (Zea mays L.) were collected over a period of 2 yr to quantify the spatial distribution of light transmittance to the soil surface under different plant and canopy densities. Leaf area index (LAI) was varied by using two different plant densities and a range of N applications. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was measured using quantum line sensors at three to seven row positions depending on row spacing (0.78 and 0.36 m). Light transmittance to the soil surface varied by position within the row and time of day. The variation was greatest for low N and low plant density spacing treatments. On cloudy days with more diffuse light the variation in light transmittance between the within and row positions was less. Light extinction coefficients decreased as solar elevation increased toward midday. The wide variation in light transmittance to the soil surface in the interrow zone points out the need to manage plant and management properties such as leaf area, plant density, and row spacing to take best advantage of light in the solar corridor.

Parents from house of horrors sentenced: starved 6 children, teenage son weighed 37 lbs
(Colorado Springs, Colorado) Parents Bryan and Tonya Ricks of Colorado Springs, Colorado were reportedly sentenced to 25 years each for child abuse including" severe bodily harm and failure to provide medical attention."
The shocking house of horrors was discovered in 2009, when a family friend discovered the Ricks teenage son bedridden, in his own urine and feces, unable to walk or speak and extremely malnourished.
He wasn't the only child in the home. 5 other siblings, all girls, were also reportedly starved and abused.
According to KKTV the boy, whose name has been withheld to protect his identity, was removed from the home late 2009 but the other children weren't taken out of that horror house until early 2010.
Both of the Ricks reportedly expressed deep remorse in court during their sentencing on Monday and though the judge commended them for taking responsiblity by pleading guilty, he reportedly told them "it does not outweigh the severe, continuous abuse."
The boy, who is now 16 and lives with his foster parents, weighed a shocking 37 pounds when he was taken out of the home. To this day, he cannot walk and is learning to do so while he mostly crawls. The years of neglect and abuse have severely hindered his development, as well as his siblings. He and his 5 sisters had to be taught basic skills like using a toothbrush, tying their shoelaces, using a fork and a toilet.
Their motor skills were so impaired they couldn't hold a pencil or dress themselves. Their teeth were rotten, one child lost nine teeth. The girls hair were extremely dry, brittle and their skin were allegedly like alligator's--rough and dry.
The children have never seen a doctor or attended school. One of them had a condition which left a hole in her heart and others had asthma. The 16-year-old had severe seizures which has reportedly damaged his brain permanently because he did not get any medical attention.
They are all now in specialized foster care for they need continued therapy for a myriad of problems. they have already received occupational, physical and psychological therapy. They are learning to live normal lives.

The Gidran is one of the few purebreds that has both the strength and endurance of saddle and harness horses. This large-sized horse is usually used for pulling carts, wagons and carriages as well as riding.
Gidrans have strong body contours. Because of their big body, they have been used as saddle horses. The head is quite small but is relative in size to the body. They have large, clear brown eyes with ears slightly pointed inward. The neck is sloped and brawny; the back is straight and the loins are stretched; the chest is deep while the shoulder is broad. The legs are strong and the joints are somewhat well-rounded. The hooves are hard and perfectly shaped. Gidrans are usually chestnut brown and stand 16.1-17 hands high (64-68 inches, 163-173 centimeters).
Personality and Temperament
Gidrans are gentle horses that are very useful in farm work. They can stay for long hours under the hot sun, even on rocky ground. Although these horses are average jumpers, they can be used in sporting events.
History and Background
The Gidran is believed to have originated from Siglavy Gidran, an Arab stallion. The breed was brought to
During the cross-breeding of the Thoroughbred and the Gidran, there have been incidences of ill-tempered horses. Luckily, breeders have developed methods to decrease the instances of this kind of offspring. The Hungarian studs only serve one purpose in keeping these Gidran: they want to preserve the pure bloodline while experimenting on breeds which will eventually produce an appealing breed of Gidran.
A horse that is four years of age or older; a stallion is intact
The term for an animal's young
Horses that jump at shows and go through judgment
The term referring to the various lines of breeding within the family.

What are 2 a4 sides?
"Sides" mean writing on the front and back sides of a sheet of paper.
So "four sides of an A4 [sheet]" means the front and back of two A4 sheets — four sides..
How many words is a side of a4?
How many words can you fit on an A4 sheet? ANSWER: 500 words when typed single spaced or 250 words when double spaced. Normally, for academic writing, 12 points Arial or Times (New) Roman is required for fonts.
What does 6000 words look like?
A 6,000 word count will create about 12.0 pages single-spaced or 24.0 pages double-spaced when using normal margins (1″) and 12 pt. Arial or Times New Roman font.
How many a4 sides is 1000 words?
The most common format required for essays is double-spaced, font type Times New Roman, and font size 12pt. With that in mind, 1,000 typed words is about four pages.
How many sides of a4 is 800 words?
If you're using a typical word processing setup with Arial or Times New Roman 12 point font with regular margins your results should be about the same, but as always can vary depending on word length and other factors. Answer: 800 words is 1⅗ pages single spaced or 3⅕ pages double spaced.

The chemical formula for tin(IV) nitrate, also known as stannic nitrate, is Sn(NO3)4. It is synthesized by the reaction of 70 percent composition of nitric acid and tin.Continue Reading
In chemistry, the two types of compounds are organic and inorganic. Organic compounds involve the formation of substances containing the element carbon while inorganic compounds are made up of two or more elements, other than carbon, that are chemically bonded together. Inorganic compounds are categorized into two: ionic compounds and molecular compounds. Ionic compounds comprise of a metal and a non-metal while molecular compounds are composed of two non-metals.
Ionic compounds consist of a positively charged metallic ion, called a "cation," and a negatively charged non-metallic anion, which is referred to as an "anion." Some transition metals may exist in various ionic forms. Different ions of the same element are distinguished using a Roman numeral, which also indicates its oxidation state and charge. The element tin forms the Sn2+ and Sn4+ ions and are named tin(II) and tin(IV), respectively. The Latin equivalents of these two ions are stannous for tin(II) and stannic for tin(IV). When two or more atoms are covalently bonded, a polyatomic ion is formed. One of the most commonly occurring polyatomic anion is nitrate, with the chemical formula NO3-. The ionic compound tin(IV) nitrate consists of the stannic cation and the polyatomic nitrate anion.Learn more about Solutions & Mixtures

Project at a Glance
Title: Analysis of the ambient VOC data collected in the Southern California Air Quality Study.
Principal Investigator / Author(s): Lurmann, Frederick W
Contractor: Sonoma Technology, Inc
Contract Number: A832-130
Research Program Area: Atmospheric Processes
A detailed analysis of ambient hydrocarbon and carbonyl data collected in the Southern California Air Quality Study (SCAQS) was undertaken to develop an improved understanding of non methane organic compounds (NMOC) in California's South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). The SCAQS data set, which was the most extensive ever collected in the SoCAB, was used to :
1. Characterize the spatial and temporal patterns of total NMOC concentrations and NMOC/Nox ratios;
2. Characterize the spatial and temporal patterns of individual organic compounds;
3. Assess the consistency between ambient and emissions inventory NMOC; and
4. Assess the extent of NMOC oxidation and carbonyl compound formation occurring in the atmosphere.
The first major finding of the study was that NMOC composition and NMOC/Nox ratios were fairly similar throughout the basin. The spatial, temporal, and day to day variations in the contributions of the major organic compound groups and the abundant organic species to NMOC were smaller than expected. However, the total NMOC concentrations have significant day to day and seasonal variations, which are undoubtably controlled by meteorology, and they have significant spatial variation within the basin due to the nonuniformity of emission rates and the effects of transport.
The second major finding was that the N MOC/Nox and CO/Nox ratios in the ambient data and emissions inventories were inconsistent and there were also discrepancies between the organic speciation of the inventories and ambient data. The inconsistencies in the NMOC/Nox and CO/Nox ratios strongly suggest current inventories underestimate NMOC and CO emissions from motor vehicles. Problems with the emissions from other types of sources may also contribute to emissions from specific source types to identify those sources with these data.
The third finding was that there appears to be a large amount of carbonyl species formation in the urban atmosphere from photo oxidation of hydrocarbons. The photochemical source of C1-C4 carbonyl compound is probably larger than the emissions source. C4+ carbonyl compounds were more abundant than expected and the sources of these higher carbonyl compounds were not identified.

Roman Tax on Estate Auctions was the Outrageous Level of 1%
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; You recently showed a coin of the emperor Hadrian burning tax records. Was there a tendency to always raise taxes as we have today to extreme levels? It seems that our government here in BC just assumes everything you have belongs to them. We should be grateful for what they allow us to retain. That is really the attitude here in Canada. Has this been the norm for governments in general?
ANSWER: Actually no. This attitude toward tax levels over 10% is the product of Socialism and Karl Marx. Even the notorious Emperor Caligula abolished taxes placed on auctions. This was the norm when estates were liquidated and the proceeds went to the family. Augustus put in this auction tax which was effectively on top of a 5% Inheritance Tax. It caused a lot of tax protests. The tax level was the outrageous level of 1%. The next emperor Tiberius bowed to the pressure and cut the tax in half to just 0.5%. Then Caligula followed Tiberius and he issued this coin announcing that he abolished the auction tax altogether. Note that the coin has SC meaning it was sanctioned by the Senate.
Overall, Rome did not have any direct taxation on income and this was the model for the Founding Fathers of the United States where the Constitution forbids direct taxation. The Roman Empire only imposed indirect taxes. It was Augustus who added to the taxes on harbors and manumission the centesima rerum venalium. Augustus imposed the 1% tax on the price of articles sold at auctions. There was the quinta et vicesima mancipiorum, or 4% tax on the price of every slave purchased but a 5% tax if you freed a slave. Then there was the vicesima hereditatum et legatorum, of 5% on all inheritances above 100,000 sesterces, which did not fall to the nearest blood-relations, and on all legacies. The freedom of the citizens from direct taxation following the victory of the Punic Wars continued unimpaired. Emperor Caracalla in 212 AD granted to all free subjects of the Empire the right of citizenship, but it did not abolish taxation as was the case for those in Italy. There was a customs tax was 2.5% and there was a religious tax on Jews of an extra two denarii a year for not supporting the temples. Diocletian (284-305AD) removed the last distinctions between the inhabitants of Italy and of other parts of the Empire by introducing into Italy the same taxation as obtained in the provinces.
I think we all would prefer an Emperor with low taxation than career politicians who never leave office either and want everything we earn.


text: In this position paper, we argue that a combination of visualization and verbalization techniques is beneficial for creating broad and versatile insights into the structure and decision-making processes of machine learning models. Explainability of machine learning models is emerging as an important area of research. Hence, insights into the inner workings of a trained model allow users and analysts, alike, to understand the models, develop justifications, and gain trust in the systems they inform. Explanations can be generated through different types of media, such as visualization and verbalization. Both are powerful tools that enable model interpretability. However, while their combination is arguably more powerful than each medium separately, they are currently applied and researched independently. To support our position that the combination of the two techniques is beneficial to explain machine learning models, we describe the design space of such a combination and discuss arising research questions, gaps, and opportunities.

Interactive Java Tutorials
Particle and Wave Reflection
One point of view envisions light as wave-like in nature, producing energy that traverses through space in a manner similar to the ripples spreading across the surface of a still pond after being disturbed by a dropped rock. The opposing view holds that light is composed of a steady stream of particles, much like tiny droplets of water sprayed from a garden hose nozzle. This interactive tutorial explores how particles and waves behave when reflected from a smooth surface.
The tutorial initializes with particles of monochromatic red light (photons) impacting the surface of a mirror with an incident angle of approximately 60 degrees. After bouncing away from the surface, the particles travel back into space at a reflection angle that equals the incident angle (measured from a plane perpendicular to the mirror). The Particle/Wave slider, located beneath the mirror, can be utilized to morph the beam of particles into a planar wavefront. Prior to becoming a wave, the particles align themselves in waves.
An excellent comparison of the wave and particle theories involves the differences that occur when light is reflected from a smooth, specular surface, such as a mirror. Wave theory speculates that a light source emits light waves that spread in all directions. Upon impacting a mirror, the waves are reflected according to the arrival angles, but with each wave turned back to front to produce a reversed image (Figure 1). The shape of arriving waves is strongly dependent upon how far the light source is from the mirror. Light originating from a close source still maintains a spherical, highly curved wavefront, while light emitted from a distance source will spread more and impact the mirror with wavefronts that are almost planar.
The case for a particle nature for light is far stronger with regards to the reflection phenomenon than it is for refraction. Light emitted by a source, whether near or far, arrives at the mirror surface as a stream of particles, which bounce away or are reflected from the smooth surface. Because the particles are very tiny, a huge number are involved in a propagating light beam, where they travel side by side very close together. Upon impacting the mirror, the particles bounce from different points, so their order in the light beam is reversed upon reflection to produce a reversed image, as demonstrated in Figure 1. Both the particle and wave theories adequately explain reflection from a smooth surface. However, the particle theory also suggests that if the surface is very rough, the particles bounce away at a variety of angles, scattering the light. This theory fits very closely to experimental observation.

Here is an example of a drill designed specifically for composites. The patented point design shown here reduces delamination, splintering and fraying by reducing pressure on the material and reducing thrust and torque to improve cutting efficiency. The reduction in forces has the additional benefit of reducing the heat generated in the cutting area. Photos courtesy of Precision Dormer.
General Tool uses a drill such as this one to machine holes in composites undersize, then completes the hole through circular milling to ensure that exit quality meets the customer's requirements.
Drilling tends to be the real challenge of machining composite parts. A drill cutting through a metal part simply has to remove the material and clear the hole. By contrast, a drill cutting through a layered composite structure is likely to push the layers ahead of it, producing unacceptable delamination on the exit side.
Earl Wilkerson is CNC programming and tooling supervisor for General Tool, a 240-employee contract manufacturer with considerable composites machining expertise. He equates a standard drill in composites to drilling an unsupported piece of plywood. "A standard metalworking drill would just blow out the back of the hole," he says. Drilling composites generally requires a tool that is tailored to this work.
One example of a cutting tool company that has developed some tools for composites machining is Onsrud Cutter. For drilling, the range of tool offerings is varied because the range of hole requirements and potential holemaking challenges in composites is so varied. Designs for CFRP drills include:
■ Brad-and-spur point designs in which a point centers the tool to let peripheral cutting edges machine like a fly cutter.
■ Drill-reamer tools with separate cutting edges for drilling and reaming in one tool.
■ An eight-facet point grind that lets the tip's secondary angles perform a self-seating function. The same design extends life by spreading wear across a larger number of discrete edges.
■ Double-margin piloted step drills for close-tolerance holes in composite stacks
Cutting tool supplier Kennametal has also developed tools for composites. Karthik Sampath is a Kennametal research engineer who has studied CFRP drilling. He offers these general points on what makes a tool more effective tool for machining holes in this material:
■ Positive geometry is vital to reduce the cutting forces that lead to delamination, he says.
■ Helix angle, clearance angle and gash rake angle are all similar in the following respect: As the angle gets larger, hole quality tends to improve.
■ A smaller point angle tends to produce better exit quality. However, too small of a point angle can give the tool poor edge strength. For CFRP, the optimal compromise seems to be a point angle of 90 degrees. By comparison, a more typical point angle for drilling metal is 135 degrees (meaning the composites drill is "pointier").
Mr. Sampath says diamond coating generally delivers 10 times more tool life in CFRP than an uncoated tool. In his experiments, evaluations of various thicknesses of diamond coating, ranging from 5 to 16 microns, suggest that a 12-micron coating delivers the best value in terms of cost vs. tool life.
Hole quality concerns tend to focus on the exit side when drilling composites, but Mr. Sampath notes that problematic hole entry defects are sometimes a concern as well. As the drill enters, it can wind up the top layer of the composite material. He says this problem is typically an indication of too light a feed rate. Entry defects can often be reduced by increasing the feed rate—though this poses the danger of exacerbating exit defects. The optimum feed rate balances quality on both the entry and exit sides.
Mr. Wilkerson of General Tool says that the drill he tends to specify most frequently for his shop's particular composite parts is the "WonderDrill" from International Carbide Corporation. This tool uses a positive "hook" to draw fibers into the cutting tip for a smooth and clean hole. This simple-looking tool eliminates any excessive fluting to improve strength and rigidity. However, even with this tool, General Tool typically does not rely on drilling to achieve a hole's final size because the risk of break-out defects is so great. Instead, holes are generally drilled 0.020- to 0.030-inch undersize. Then, a plated diamond finishing tool mills the hole to final size through circular interpolation.blog comments powered by Disqus

Love could be express in different ways, by saying it, by showing it. Some people don't like showing love maybe because of bad experiences, some don't know the right way to express love, they express love in the wrong way which has cost them. Most people could not win the heart of the person they love because they couldn't express there love. We express love to show to people we care. These are different ways to express our love
1. Discover what makes the person feel most loved:
Try different methods, and see what generates the most positive response. It may be something that you are not accustomed to doing,but if your intent is to express love to someone, you should learn to do it in ways that the person will appreciate most. Note that no single method works for everybody; some might feel loved by it, while others may not. There is no universally effective approach, even for a particular "love language"; each language has distinct "dialects"within it, so pay attention to what works best. The five love languages are (in no particular order):
Words of Affirmation
Acts of Service
2. Speak words of affirmation:
Some people's longing for love and acceptance is best satisfied by positive verbal (and written)
statements. Express gratitude and appreciation for what they do. Give them compliments and encouragement. Tell them you love them. Try to vary the words you say in expressing your caring
for the person to prevent repetitive statements from becoming tiresome. While speaking positively in all respects engenders loving feelings in those most attuned to words of affirmation, harsh or condemning words will have the opposite effect, sometimes causing deep emotional wounds that may never be fully forgotten. Because words can have such profound impact, the most important thing is to be positive instead of judgmental in what you say. Learn to praise people's admirable qualities
and worthy efforts, and replace criticism with
constructive advice if it's warranted.
3. Share quality time:
Those who prefer quality time want to do things together. Take notice of their preferred activities, and try to initiate some time together in doing those things. Engage in quality conversation. Go hiking. Play games. Plan and work together. Whatever you do, spend time with them, not just near them. Giving them your attention is what is most important.
4. Perform acts of service:
Parents often ask it of their children, and husbands and wives ask it of each other, but service can be a lot more meaningful to some people. Cleaning around the house, preparing meals, doing laundry, yard work, and various other chores can be a very loving expression to someone. Look for ways to help your loved ones with tasks that will help ease
their physical, mental, or emotional burdens. Your service may be especially appreciated when it's unexpected.
5. Initiate physical touch:
Many forms of physical contact can be a warm, loving gesture. Hold hands. Pat or rub their back or arm.
Give hugs. Be receptive to appropriate gestures of physical contact, and choose suitable times to freely embrace your loved ones.
6. Give gifts.
Objects can be emblems of one's love, as tangible, visual reminders: They don't have to be expensive or long lasting; home-made gifts and even temporary things like flowers and food can be very effective displays of affection. Just be sure that you don't rely too much on past gifts to convey evidence of your love for the person; give often. To those who are more emotionally appreciative of gifts, one's physical presence
can also be particularly valuable, with one's body in a sense being an emblem of devotion, and "being there" for them at stressful moments, simply staying close, is especially
7. Expand your expressions of love into multiple approaches:
Incorporating other languages in addition to the person's primary love language will better demonstrate a well-rounded
expression of caring about them. A person might place high value on more than one love language, so be sure to try them all. Also, don't limit yourself to just one or a few methods of
expression within a language; you may later discover an even more effective demonstration of your love.
8. Express love regularly:
For important relationships, especially with your spouse or other family members, be sure to demonstrate your love often, continually expressing your caring for them in a myriad of ways, especially in the language that they understand best. It is widely believed that "it's the thought that counts," but the thought counts only when the gift or other expression of love is actually given. Concealed love benefits no one.Follow Love Venture on WordPress.com
