Example Self-help Plans: 3
Example 3: Manage Stress and Become Better Organized
Amy is in her late thirties. She is the divorced mother of three young children and has a highly responsible job as an emergency room doctor at the local hospital. She has been trying to find new daycare for her youngest child, a toddler. Her mother is caring for the toddler until daycare is arranged. Her eldest child Josh, in the second grade, is having trouble adjusting to a new school. Her middle child, now in kindergarten, has just been diagnosed with a learning disorder and Amy has been trying to find a tutor who understands dyslexia to work with the little girl. Apart from home stress, there has been a lot of work stress lately too. Two of the doctors on her shift are out ill with a flu that's going around and she has been trying to orient a substitute doctor while making sure all of the incoming patients are served. There are many more ER patients than usual, due to the flu epidemic. Amy, who is generally highly organized and unflappable, finds herself in tears in her office. She realizes she can't cope with everything right now. She determines that she has taken on too much responsibility and feels exhausted. She draws up the following plan. Note how she combines problem-solving for her home and work issues, as well as her own primary issue (her tendency to overloading herself), and comes up with actions to resolve both short-term and longer term problems.
Goal 1 - Meet kids' needs; learning disorder tutor, daycare arrangement, school adjustment counseling.
· Method 1 - Divide and Conquer:
· ask ex-husband to find and schedule a dyslexia tutor;
· ask mother to find daycare and make arrangements;
· meet personally with oldest child's teacher to find out how to help him adjust.
· Measurement - Tutor is scheduled, daycare is arranged and Josh says he feels happier in school.
· Deadline - By December 15 for tutor and daycare, and by January 30 for Josh's adjustment.
Goal 2 - Relieve self of high level of work stress.
· Method 1 - Work with other doctors and hospital administration so as to contract with a group of substitute doctors. These doctors will receive orientation to this ER, and may be called in substitutes, as needed.
· Measurement - Trained doctors available as subs when needed.
· Deadline - As soon as possible. Push to have arrangements made for two months from now.
· Method 2 - Coordinate with other doctors to cover my evening shifts.
· Measurement - I will be home during the evenings and up with the kids in the mornings (a regular schedule, allowing me enough time to get a full night's sleep.
· Deadline - Make arrangements this week.
· Method 3 - I will walk 3 miles before work, three days per week.
· Measurement - I will feel more relaxed (because of the exercise).
· Deadline - Ongoing, 3 times per week.
Goal 3 - I will stop working more than my regularly scheduled hours.
· Method 1 - I will stop all thoughts of impressing my supervisor and proving to myself I am a good doctor (which will ensure I don't volunteer for or accept extra hours).
· Method 2 - I will use a self-suggestion method, just after breakfast and just after dinner, with the message to myself that I want to pursue a well balanced life starting today.
· Measurement - I will notice that I have fewer thoughts of working any more than my scheduled hours.
· Deadline - Ongoing use of methods until thoughts are distinguished and I have not worked more hours than scheduled for at least three months.

Bernard Bolzano died in 1848. He had worked for many years on Grössenlehre (Theory of quantity) which was intended to be an introduction to mathematics covering many different areas of mathematics such as numbers, elementary geometry, geometry in general, function theory, methodology, and the ideas of quantity and space. Specific parts such as Functionenlehre (Theory of functions), and Zahlenlehre (Theory of Numbers) were written, much was in a less complete form with workings and reworkings of parts of his ambitious project. Towards the end of his life Bolzano realised that he would never complete the work, and he tried to find someone who would be able to understand what he had written and also be able to continue developing parts which were unfinished. He chose Robert Zimmermann who was 24 years old at the time of Bolzano's death.
Zimmermann received the collection of Bolzano's manuscripts, having been left them in Bolzano's will. Had his interests been more inclined towards mathematics, it is indeed possible that he would have found such gems within the manuscripts that he would have devoted much of his life to them. However, Zimmermann's interests were more in the area of philosophy and indeed he was appointed to the chair of philosophy in Prague in 1852, only four years after Bolzano's death. One of Bolzano's collaborators, Franz Prihonsky, had ensured that not all of Bolzano's mathematical work lay unpublished in Zimmermann's possession, for he published Bolzano's Paradoxien des Unendlichen, a study of paradoxes of the infinite, in 1851. It may be considered as the first book on set theory, and certainly Cantor praises the work highly in his own, much more developed, contributions to the topic. In 1909 Charles Peirce wrote that Bolzano's Paradoxien des Unendlichen conferred:-
... a singular benefit upon humanity.
Except for this noteworthy publication, after Bolzano's death the remaining manuscripts were in Zimmermann's possession until 1882 when he gifted them to the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Kaiserliche Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien). Ten years later the Austrian Academy of Sciences gifted the Bolzano manuscripts to the manuscript section of the Austrian National Library. That no complete works of Bolzano had been published during this period was not due to lack of interest. Several attempts had been made but the size of the task, and the difficulty of tracing various improvements that Bolzano had continued to make, meant that every attempt had failed.
Martin Jasek was a secondary school teacher of mathematics in Pilsen. He worked with the Bolzano manuscripts in the National Library in Vienna, and became fascinated with the discoveries he made. He published four papers published between 1920 and 1923 and gave three lectures to the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists on 3 December 1921, 14 January 1922, and 4 December 1922. Jasek had discovered that the unpublished Functionenlehre contained some important results in analysis showing that Bolzano had made certain discoveries in that topic well before similar results had been discovered by others. Jasek's lectures interested other Czech mathematicians, particularly Karel Petr and Karel Rychlik, and on 5 March 1924 the Czech Academy of Sciences set up the Bolzano Committee to:-
... acquire, unify, and publish Bolzano's manuscripts.
The chairman of the committee was Karel Petr, the secretary was Martin Jasek, while Karel Rychlik was one of eight other members. Some manuscripts were in Prague but the main collection was in the Austrian National Library in Vienna. The Czech Academy of Sciences paid for Jasek to spend about eighteen months working with the manuscripts in Vienna where he made photocopies (in an early form which produced white writing on a black background), bringing the copies back to Prague where the main task of preparing the work for publication was to take place. The Committee set itself the task of publishing the first volume of Bolzano's manuscripts, which they intended to be Functionenlehre, in 1925 and then the remaining material over the following five years.
The task which the Committee set itself proved far more difficult than they had first anticipated. Financial support for the project was initially quite strong but, as publication was delayed, it became harder to persuade sponsors to put up further finance. Functionenlehre appeared in 1930, five years behind schedule and at the time when the Committee had expected the whole project to be completed. Progress for a while was at least steady with Zahlentheorie being published in 1931, and Von dem besten Staate in 1932. There was a delay until 1935 before the next volume Der Briefwechsel B Bolzano's mit F Exner was published. This contained letters between Bolzano and the philosopher Franz Exner (_PHONE_). The fifth and final publication by the Committee was Memoires géométriques which did not appear until 1948. However, in 1948, Communists took control of the country and in 1952 the Czech Academy of Sciences was disbanded and at the same time the Bolzano Committee was also disbanded. The Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences was founded in 1952 but the Bolzano Committee was not at this stage re-established under the new academy. This did happen in 1958 but three years later the new Committee was disbanded with no further volumes of Bolzano's manuscripts being published during these three years.
The Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences began a new push to publish Bolzano's manuscripts in the early 1960s. Before the first volume in the series appeared in 1969 there were a number of related publications. Kazimír Vecerka published Bolzano's Anti-Euclid in 1967. It contained Bolzano's ideas concerning the reform and improvement of Euclidean geometry. Bob van Rootselaar published Bolzano's corrections to his Functionenlehre in 1969. It is, perhaps one of, Bolzano's attempts to correct certain errors in Functionenlehre. The first volume in the new series Bernard Bolzano-Gesamtausgabe published by Friedrich Frommann Verlag and edited by Eduard Winter, Jan Berg, Friedrich Kambartel, Jaromir Louzil, and Bob van Rootselaar, contains a biography of Bolzano together with details of the topics on which he worked: mathematics, logic, theology, philosophy and aesthetics. The second volume, which set the scene for the whole series, appeared in 1972. Jan Berg describes its contents:-
This is a detailed catalogue of that part of Bolzano's manuscripts which was donated in 1892 to the then existing Court Library in Vienna by his former disciple Robert Zimmermann (_PHONE_). Moreover, in the supplement, 19 letters from Bolzano to the philosopher Franz Exner (_PHONE_), dealing inter alia with questions of logical semantics, are described.... The bibliography lists (1) in chronological order all works of Bolzano published in any language until March 1971 and (2) literature on Bolzano in alphabetic order... The section on the division of the Bernard Bolzano-Gesamtaus-gabe does not correspond to the present conception of the editors. In particular, the plan for part II (the posthumous works of Bolzano) has been extensively revised during the last decade. For example, [the] subsection... containing Bolzano's scientific diaries is now scheduled to embrace 20 volumes in about 35 instalments.
Further details of this series of volumes is given in

World's first colour moving pictures discovered
The world's first colour moving pictures dating from 1902 have been found by the National Media Museum in Bradford after lying forgotten in an old tin for 110 years.
The discovery is a breakthrough in cinema history.
Michael Harvey, from the National Media Museum, and Bryony Dixon, from the British Film Institute, talk about the importance of the discovery.
The previous earliest colour film, using the Kinemacolour process, was thought to date from 1909 and was actually an inferior method.
The newly-discovered films were made by pioneer Edward Raymond Turner from London who patented his colour process on 22 March 1899.
The story of Edwardian colour cinema then moved to Brighton. Turner shot the test films in 1902 but his pioneering work ended abruptly when he died suddenly of a heart attack.
Now the film has been restored by the National Media Museum and is being shown to audiences for the first time.
The Race for Colour is broadcast on Monday, 17 September 2012 on BBC One South East and Yorkshire, at 19:30 BST and nationwide for seven days thereafter on the iPlayer.

The latest Indian census indicates a 490,000+ community of transgender people in India. They are recognized legally as the "Other", and treated exactly like their legal namesake – the transgender, Hijra community of India is till date sidelined, stereotyped and stigmatized. They seem to every "normal" person as someone who is different and unnatural. It is this lack of acceptance and discrimination that is the primary cause of their terrible conditions of lifestyle and why there seems to be no escaping this plight.

Used today for: railway Paris metro line #13 demodulation
ModemB is a stand-alone DSP board with 2 analog input channels (from 10kHz to 150kHz), a RS485 serial link, 16 configurable digital inputs/outputs and one analog output. This electronic board is used in the station of Paris metro line #13 as a demodulator for the magnetic coupling communication with trains, to control the platform screen doors. ModemB is suitable for all applications requiring the computing power of a DSP and involving analog signals in the chosen frequency range (from 10kHz to 150kHz).
In the context of the installation of platform screen doors in some lines, the Paris metro company RATP needed on-board / wayside communication systems with safety critical transmission ranges. ClearSy has studied, developed and installed such communication systems for lines #1 and #13, using the magnetic coupling principle which allows a guaranteed transmission range, impossible otherwise.
The magnetic coupling transmissions require specific modulation / demodulation techniques. The electronic board "ModemB" developed by ClearSy provides the necessary computing power for such robust modulation / demodulation algorithms, suitable for the railway environment with high perturbation levels. In the 13 stations of the Paris metro line #13 that are fitted with platform screen doors, the platform doors open and close thanks to orders from the trains transmitted using ModemB (2 ModemB boards per station).
The ModemB electronic board is designed to be suitable for any autonomous modulation / demodulation application requiring high computing power, or more generally for all similar applications. ModemB is equipped with carefully chosen components to match the widest application needs (see our datasheet below).

You are probably wondering how to make an amazing fat-free potato dish. The answer is here. These baked french fries are not only fat-free but also healthy. They contain absolutely no fat and no chemicals and thus do no harm to your thighs and your bottom.
Step 1: Boil Your Potatoes
Scrub the veggies up and remove any eyes / spots you may find. Add some cold water to your pot. Slice up your potatoes (3/4″ to an inch wide and thick) and drop them in.
Boil your potatoes for 5 minutes, drain them and then put them back into the pot.
Step 2: Add Spices
Add one teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of flour, add onion powder, a little bit of paprika and chili into the potatoes in the pot. Salt and pepper are optional. Put the lid on top of the pot, hold it tight and then shake the dish up holding both the pot and the lid.
Step 3: Bake Your "Babies"
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Take out the potatoes and put them evenly on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet into the oven. Bake your "babies" for about 20 minutes.
When the fries are ready, they will look slightly browned. Enjoy your meal!

Purpose AM Systems has developed automation solutions for 3D printing. An automated gantry is connected to each 3D printer, before the print job starts the gantry inserts a new build plate, after the print job is finished, the gantry takes build plate and moves it to storage. It can be scaled up to 50 3D printers. Combined with filament dryers, scanners, or different types of 3D printers (SLS, FFF, SLA) etc. 24/7 production solutions with 3D printers with trackable storage.
3D printing is slow and time-consuming. With automation it is possible to scale this process, so make it faster and for shorter prints the user doesn't have to be in attendance to remove the part and start a new print. In times like these with COVID, when most 3D printing companies are printing some sort of protection for people, automation would make their job easier and faster. Now, this is the perfect example of how 3D printing needs to be automated, but it's just an example for other industries and production companies as well.
Time efficiency for 3D printing similar parts. Cost efficiency, because more parts can be produced in 24hrs without a workforce.

Colorado Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct
Comment - Rule 3.6
[5] There are, on the other hand, certain subjects which are more likely than not to have a material prejudicial effect on a proceeding, particularly when they refer to a civil matter triable to a jury, a criminal matter, or any other proceeding that could result in incarceration. These subjects relate to:
(2) in a criminal case or proceeding that could result in incarceration, the possibility of a plea of guilty to the offense or the existence or contents of any confession, admission, or statement given by a defendant or suspect or that person's refusal or failure to make a statement;
Committee Comment
[8] Rule 3.6 is similar to DR 7-107, except as follows: First, Rule 3.6 adopts the general criterion of "substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding" to describe impermissible conduct. Second, Rule 3.6 makes clear that only lawyers who are, or have been involved in a proceeding, or their associates, are subject to the Rule. Third, Rule 3.6 omits the particulars in DR 7-107(b), transforming them instead into an illustrative compilation as part of the Rule's commentary that is intended to give fair notice of the kinds of statements that are generally thought to be more likely than other kinds of statements to pose unacceptable dangers to the fair administration of justice. Whether any statement will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicially an adjudicatory proceeding will depend upon the facts of each case. The particulars of DR 7-107(c) are retained in Rule 3.6(b), except DR 7-107(C)(7), which provided that a lawyer may reveal "[a]t the time of seizure, a description of the physical evidence seized, other than a confession, admission or statement." Such revelations may be substantially prejudicial and are frequently the subject of pretrial suppression motions whose success would be undermined by disclosure of the suppressed evidence to the press. Finally, Rule 3.6 authorizes a lawyer to protect a client by making a limited reply to adverse publicity substantially prejudicial to the client.
[9] Replaced and Adopted by the Court, En Banc, June 12, 1997, effective January 1, 1998.

Here are a few grammar questions that I've been asked this week:
1. Which is better: "like normal" or "as usual"?
You might hear people say "like normal", but it's much better to use "as usual".
2. What do "in order to" and "in terms of" mean?
A dictionary will explain the meaning of these phrases. However, it's probably more useful to see some examples of how they are used. A search engine like Google will give you many more examples than I can.
3. Is it correct to write "it is worth spending maintaining libraries" or "libraries are worth spending"?
Neither is correct I'm afraid. I would write: "It is worth spending money to maintain libraries" or "libraries are worth maintaining".
4. Can we put "for example" in the middle of a sentence like this: "There are many environmental problems, for example, people litter everywhere"?
The use of "for example" in the sentence above is not correct. To avoid confusion, I'd recommend using "for example" only at the beginning of sentences. Use "such as" in the middle (e.g. There are many environmental problems, such as air pollution).


to create Instru Pointer I could just do I could just do something like that. I m t p t r And then there's are variable name equals AM Sunday and now I can just do a ask risk A equals 50. As usual, ask rece PT r equals 50 as usual. My mistake. We can pilot. Now you can see that works fine. So here we've typed deaf and inched your point of so you can see that it's a little more understandable now than I and she I nt ask Chris PTR So there's all sorts of clever things you can do with the pre process er, because type definitions are are resolved a compile time, not run time 25. Booleans Explained: So we're not gonna discuss Pauline's, and you're probably wondering why I haven't discussed them yet. While the reason is is because see doesn't come with a leans built in. In other words, it's not a primitive type, essentially to access billions and see you need to include ahead of file. So include STD bull dot page. This will now allow you to do things like this. So what this does this creates an ABC variable, and the ABC variable is equal to true. So what we can now do is we can access false and true in C so I can do things like if ABC Prince F A B C is true. If I now compile that ABC is true, I can see that if I said this to false, I can pull out now I can see nothing so you can clearly see that by include including STD Bulldog Page. It defines a macro, a definition called false, this equal to zero. So much like when I showed you how to define things in the pre process. Of course, in the pre process a lecture, you can see that false is equal to zero, and true has a definition that is equal to one. So you use BA leans in situations where there's only two values. 01 true or false yes or no? 26. Unions: so unions are a fantastic feature built in to see on what they allow you to do is they allow to share memory regions with multiple variables, essentially, by changing either one of these variables will affect them all because they all share the same memory region. There are many reasons why you would use unions, particularly in low level code. So let's now create a union. I'll explain as we go along Union, my union, but a semi colon at the end instead a Sharpie. So now in here do union my union, ABC an hour ago abc dot a equals 50 and then do a b c dot b equals 20 and I want us to output A and B So we're going to go and do that now. And what you're now going to see is, if we can Paula and run that you're gonna see 2020 now, why is that? Because both variables in here share the same memory region. So when we set insta a to 50 on, then set Sharpie to 20 we overwrite the memory invariable A because they are sharing the same memory. So that is fantastic feature. If I was to do something like zero x f f f f f f f path on This is Hexi Decimal, By the way, this is how you do hex, decimal and see. And then in here we we keep that is 20. If you now change thes toe X on X this will print now Hex Hexi decimal values for us If we now compile it again, can we run that you don't see f f f f f f f u C f f f f f f F 14 and then the hex equivalent of char B is 14. So by getting rid of this that by getting rid of this, completely removing it Onda we compile that again. You know, see that both a and B equal to f f f f f f f because they share the same memory region. So you can also define unions in structures as I've done here and you'll notice that we can now do Esther A equals 50 s stop b equals 20 on that will perform exactly the same way as I just showed you and obviously above the union here you can have other variables such a Z, whose memory location is not shed 27. Hex And Binary: Hello and welcome. So we're now going to discuss how to use Hexi decimal and binary in the C programming language. So, firstly, if we go back to the asking table, you can see decimal value on a hexi decimal value next to it decimal value. Hexi decimal value. All that this is is the way the computer displays it to you. Everything in a computer is binary. The decimal numbers you see here are just the way it displays that to you. That's all that it is now. That is an important thing to note anything you see, if its capital a a capital B, it is all just ones and zeros on the fact you see A is because this table, the asking table associates those binary bits with our pixel bits. So it knows which character to display on the screen to you. Now, Hexi Decimal is no different. It's just a way of showing a decimal in a different in a different format. So you used decimal and hexi decimal to express binary values. It's all the same things. Okay, so go back to visual code on. I want us to create a variable on set it to a Hoechst s more value. So go in such a equals zero x zero x means the we're gonna We're about to express a hexi decimal value. So the compiler one, when it's compiling your code, should read that value as Hexi Decimal that that's what it's saying. So if we do do X 20 in here, you've Now you've now set a 20 x 20 on. If you do print, if we're gonna output this so I can show you the difference A. Now this will be output. It is decimal, right? So let's now open that up on compile it. So back to cmd cd paste that in GCC main dot c Dachau dot ford sash main and then Dumaine you can see 32. So what this means is Hexi decimal zero x 20 is decimal 32. Now watch this. You can do percent X here to display hex decimal values. So now if we provide a again so a will be output is intra first and then is Hexi decimal Next. If we now compile that again and run that you can see 32 20 So twenties are Hexi decimal value 32 is the decimal equivalent. But let's go back to what I was saying earlier. The thing is, Hexi decimal on decimal and binary. They all equal the same thing. That's how it works. Zero x 20 is no different from our 32 decimal. This this is just the way the computer displays it to you. It is all just binary of the end of the day. It is not decimal. It is no accident. Zimmel. Everything is expressed. His binary on the computer can render it to us in decimal or hacks a decimal, and that is so important to know. So hacks a decimal 20 is exactly the same as decimal 32. It's just being displayed to us differently. The equivalent at the binary level. And that is what you need to know. Let's now discuss how to write binary values and see. So if you do zero p _PHONE_ And then get rid of this final zero input one. We're gonna change this to a child and put a semicolon there. So as you know, there are eight bits and bytes, so we should have a pet CIA 123 full 5678 Yes, we do. So make sure the final zeros of one. Now we need to compel that I'm running that again so we can see the binary one is Hexi decimal one on decimal one. So to do binary, you stop with zero B decimal zero b. Everything after is by knowing binary values. So if you now get rid of this and put a zero, this should be too, which it is. Put a one here, so it's 11 at the end, and it should be three, which it is. So that is how you can assign binary in the C programming language. You simply start with a zero B and then the rest of the numbers i o binary value. The 1st 0 here means nothing. The following zeros and ones are the value. So the following after the big So I hope that explains hex decimal and binary in C. I know I haven't discussed how the hex numbers on binary numbers how they can be, how you can understand them, But that's because that I assume you already know this. This is a C programming course I'm t I teach you how to use them in the programming language so you can look that up simply. Binary is based to, and Hoechst Estimate is based 16. 28. Comments: So in this lecture, we're going to discuss commenting up until this point, I haven't discussed commenting because I've been wanting to get most of the hardest stuff out of the way. So commenting allows you to basically write comments for yourself to make code a little easier to understand. So, for example, this is a comment. So by using to forward slashes, you say to the compiler, this entire line is not code. It's a comment for myself to understand. My co better on the compiler won't compel this if you did slash slash into a equals 50 it doesn't get compiled is a common. So that's one type of comment you can. You can use new lines at two. You can

When I get the time, I'm going to write a vocabulary creation language to support structuralist text interpretation. It will consist of two specs: one to handle the marking up the surface features of text, such as rhetorical figures and tropes. This will be based on my work with the Princeton Charrette Project and it will likely incorporate some ideas from Steven Bird's work on annotation graphs. The second will be either an extension of or a variant of SKOS and|or OWL designed to represent extracted symbolic structures. It will incorporate predicates to handle relations of signification, such as has_part, has_analogy, and has_metonym, between the elements represented in the first language. At a larger level, I want to represent holistic dimensions such as context and level, as well as narratological things like encompassment, transformation, inversion, and liminality.
One of the big problems I see in this project is an apparent limitation in RDF to support triples about triples. For example, an analogy is a relation between structures, not terms. The assertion A : B :: C : D is, at minumum, an assertation about the relationship between two assertations, A : B and C : D. (The predicate of the assertions themselves is usually X has_part Y.) An anology looks something like this then:
[A has_part B] just_as [C has_part D]
The easiest way to accomplish this task would be to provide URIs for each RDF triple. I haven't seen a general solution to this problem. I know I can create local URIs within a specific triple store, and use these in triples. But I need to define an RDF triple as a datatype first. And I anticipate problems further downstream; I wonder if the current RDF toolset is designed to handle indexing and inferencing of these kinds of triples.
If anyone has suggestions about how to handle this issue, I'd be glad to hear them.
After writing this, it strikes me that to say that two triples are analogous is just to say that they share a predicate–so long as that predicate is sufficiently specified. To assert an analogy, then, is to assert that such an identity is important or relevant in a certain context.


decision.62
Fines: The discipline committee can impose a fine in an amount up to $10,000 payable to the Minister of Finance. If a fine is imposed, the committee should require the member to notify the association of payment, and outline the consequences of failure to pay by a specified date (e.g. a period of suspension). The committee can require the fine to be noted in the register, with the same consequences as above.63
Postponed Imposition of Penalty: The committee may direct that the imposition of a penalty be postponed for a specified period and not be imposed on a member if specified terms are met within that period (for example permitting the inspection of his or her practice).64 A postponed or suspended order acts as an incentive to encourage the member to behave in a certain manner in future. It also allows the committee to take into account mitigating factors in a serious case that would otherwise have resulted in the full order. The period for which the order is suspended should be clearly stated. The committee can delegate the power to decide whether the conditions to lift the suspension have been met (for example, the quality assurance committee could decide when the member's records have been brought up to an acceptable standard). The committee should also decide whether to note the postponed order in the register.65
(2) Factors to Consider in Making Decisions and Orders
In exercising its broad discretion in making orders, the discipline committee should begin by considering the impacts on the parties affected, namely the public, the profession and the practitioner. Will the order be sufficient to protect the public, including the complainant, bearing in mind that the primary purpose of the association is to protect the public interest? Will the order act as a general deterrent to the profession and reflect how seriously the association views the conduct? Will the order both deter the member and assist in his or her rehabilitation? The committee should next consider the seriousness of the conduct, any factors which aggravated or mitigated the conduct, and any prior orders it has made concerning the conduct.66
 1. Nature of the Misconduct or Incompetence
 The order should reflect the seriousness of the conduct. Court rulings have indicated that conduct that is intentional is more serious than that which is inadvertent; conduct carried on over a period of time is more serious than an isolated incident; and immoral, dishonest or criminal behaviour, or behaviour which involves a breach of trust is considered serious. Conduct motivated by personal gain is considered an aggravating factor. Conduct caused in part by a psychiatric condition or a substance abuse problem, however, is considered less serious perhaps because the motivation of the member is different.67
 2. Prior Decisions
 The committee should review its prior decisions in similar cases or, if none exist, look to decisions in similar cases from other professions or provinces. Decisions should not stray too far from precedents without good reason in order to survive court scrutiny.68
 3. Prior Conduct by Practitioner
 Prior conduct can both aggravate and mitigate an order, but the rules for considering past conduct must be followed carefully. Steinecke outlines these rules as follows:
 "The general rule is that the discipline committee can only consider the conduct alleged in the notice of hearing because it is unfair for the committee to receive evidence of other instances of such conduct or evidence of other forms of misconduct, given that the practitioner has not come prepared to defend him or herself against such allegations. However, this general rule has some exceptions. The first exception is that if the practitioner places his or her good character in issue, then the college can introduce evidence of other instances of misconduct to show that the practitioner's character is not as good as he or she suggests. Also, if the practitioner suggests that the conduct in issue was an isolated instance, the college can lead evidence of other instances. Another exception is that the discipline committee can consider a prior finding of misconduct against the practitioner as an aggravating factor. The prior finding has already been proved and demonstrates that the practitioner may not have learned from the first order. Prior findings refer to findings by the discipline committee. In some circumstances, such as where the allegation is a breach of the criminal law, prior findings of the criminal court might be relied upon as well. Undue weight should not be put on a prior finding, particularly if it did not constitute similar misconduct or was made long before the proceeding at hand. Also, if the other finding was made after the conduct alleged in the current case, then it is not truly a prior finding because the practitioner has not had an opportunity to learn from the first order. It is, however, still relevant to show that the conduct was not an isolated incident."69
 4. Subsequent Conduct of Practitioner
 Although subsequent bad conduct cannot usually be used against the member, subsequent good conduct can often be a mitigating factor in deciding which order to make regarding the member. For example, the member may have made restitution for damage caused or took other steps to remedy his or her deficiencies or conduct. The passage of time without a repetition of the misconduct can also be a mitigating factor.70
 5. Conduct of Practitioner's Defense
 Opinion is mixed as to whether or how the discipline committee should consider this factor. On one hand, the member has the right to conduct a vigorous defense and the committee's order should not be more severe if the member requires the association to prove all of its allegations. On the other hand, a plea of guilty could be considered as a mitigating factor since it represents an admission of wrongdoing and makes rehabilitation more likely.71
 6. Character of Practitioner
 Good character should be considered by the committee as a mitigating factor. Factors such as a member's abilities, length of practice, devotion to his or her work, academic achievement and reputation can result in a less severe order, unless the misconduct is so serious that this would be out of the question. Evidence of bad character should not be introduced by the association unless the member puts his or her character into issue first.72
 7. Effect of Order on Practitioner
 The discipline committee should consider the effects of its order on the member's practice, family life, reputation and emotional state. Evidence regarding these factors and the member's financial circumstances are therefore relevant. Sometimes, however, the member's misconduct may be so serious that an order with adverse consequences must be made in any event.73
(3) Cost Orders
The discipline committee can order either the association or the member to pay costs to the other74, although the criteria are different for each party.
 1. Costs Payable by Association to Practitioner
 Where the discipline committee is of the opinion that the commencement of the proceeding was unwarranted, the committee shall order that the association reimburse the member for his or her costs or such portion thereof as the committee fixes.75 This provision enables the member to recover some or all of his or her legal fees if the committee feels the discipline process was being abused. The committee should consider the reasonableness of the decision to refer the matter to the committee. Even if the allegations turn out to be unfounded, that does not mean that costs will necessarily be avoided, particularly if the investigation raised valid concerns about the member's practice. Reasons should be given for the decision to grant or refuse costs.76
 2. Costs Payable by Practitioner to Association
 The discipline committee has the power to make an order "fixing costs and expenses to be paid by the member."77 Factors that the committee may take into account in making such an order include the nature of the misconduct found to have been committed, the conduct of the member during the hearing and the relative degree of success of the parties. The provision enabling the committee to make a decision on costs seems to be broad enough to cover more that just legal costs.78
 3. Procedure for Ordering Payment of Costs
 The issue of costs should be argued after the penalty has been decided, in order to avoid potential conflicts regarding the impact of the member's conduct during the hearing. The amount of costs should be based on records, not conjecture and the committee's power to award costs must be exercised reasonably. A cost award can be enforced by filing it with the court and using the court's enforcement methods.79
(4) Decision and Reasons
The discipline committee is required to serve its decision, with reasons, on the parties and the complainant. If the hearing was closed, the decision can be served on the complainant without reasons, at the discretion of the committee.80 Where privacy rights of witnesses is a concern, pseudonyms may be used in the reasons. The decision and reasons can be combined in one document. One advantage to providing them separately is that the decision can be delivered before the reasons have been finalized.81
Reasons must both state the conclusions and why those conclusions were reached. Normally this would include responding to the evidence or defences raised by the unsuccessful party. Adequate reasons should demonstrate that a party's case has been heard and understood, explain the basis for the decision, and negate perceptions of arbitrariness or unfairness. In reviewing a decision for adequacy, a court will consider the statutory context, the nature of the case, the issue involved and the nature of the tribunal.82
Witness credibility is often the basis of the committee's decision. Credibility involves the honesty of the witness and his or ability to give accurate testimony. Phrased as a formula:
Credibility = Honesty + Ability (to tell the truth)
The committee, which an appellate body will consider as being in the best position to determine credibility, must explain why it found a witness to be credible or not. A finding of credibility can be made on one or more of the following:

Rock attracts interest in Temora
21 March 2012
An outcrop of rocks in a farm paddock near the New South Wales town of Temora which provides the benchmark for geochronology investigations around the world will itself be the subject of analysis.
The rocks contain tiny zircon crystals, known as the TEMORA reference and are used by more than 100 geochemical and geochronology laboratories around the world, including in Geoscience Australia's Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe, or SHRIMP.
Now the University of Melbourne School of Earth Sciences is supporting an Honours thesis project to investigate the source of the TEMORA reference material in detail.
The researchers will consider whether the rock is as uniform as the analyses imply, why it is such a good source of the reference material for calibrating the age and geochemical composition of other rocks and if there is even better reference material nearby.
The project will include detailed geological mapping, petrographic studies and geochemical analysis of the original site and nearby granitic outcrops to assess the overall uniformity of the rock and consider what makes the rock so special.
Geoscience Australia is the custodian of the reference material extracted from the rock and its Geochronology Laboratory will support the investigation by assisting with field work and sampling and analytical work.
The Geochronology Section leader at Geoscience Australia, Dr Keith Sircombe, said the research is expected to result in further improvement in analytical processes and in the precision and accuracy of pre-competitive data provided to government agencies, resource exploration companies, researchers and the public.
"Despite its excellent international reputation, the source of the TEMORA reference material has never been examined in detail and the honours project investigation is expected to give new insights into its future applications," Dr Sircombe said.
"The original reference material is a great example of scientific serendipity. It was discovered completely by accident and was almost overlooked for sampling. It will be very exciting to see what other discoveries the team from Melbourne can make," he said.

As designers, we pride ourselves in crafting solutions that place our users at the centre of our process, based on understanding their struggles and possibilities. Universal or inclusive design aims to ensure that a design or solution is usable by the broadest range of users, not just by understanding the differences across that range, but by considering that we can benefit the majority if we design for the most vulnerable.
A more inclusive norm
Ronald Mace, a renowned American architect, and designer used his struggles and experience as a wheelchair-user to conceive and champion the practice of Universal Design. In his opinion, we should design as if we all have a vulnerability or disability, for we will all temporarily or permanently lost some ability or capability through age, accident, or circumstance. We often discount vulnerability as being outside the norm, and design for the majority (the norm) or create products solely for the disability. Why not design to fit both?
Gender and design
Many products, services, and technology are still designed using male data or from a male perspective. The norms or standards that are often applied are based on mostly Western males' sizes and characteristics. Many examples where women are put at risk or excluded can be found across originally male-dominated fields, such as the construction industry, military, police force, and engineering and heavy industries. The standard bag of cement is comfortable for a man to lift, but not a woman. Bricks and construction tools weren't designed with gender diversity in mind and increase the risk of injury and accidents for those outside of the male norm.
Although iconic power-tool brands have tried to target the female market, their bright pink tools aren't responding to the main struggles, or sensitive to their target market. If all power tools were designed to be lighter, less stereotypically styled, and easily controlled, could incidences of injuries and strains be reduced and increase the potential market?
There are others taking advantage of this opportunity space. Danish start-up Flid offers a series of hand-tools designed for all; that is sustainable, functional, straightforward to use, and attractive regardless of your gender.
Safe solutions require inclusion
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) has also long been an issue for women. Equipment that is meant to ensure the safety and health of users often don't fit women or those with smaller frames or different face shapes, such as black and minority ethnic men. As well as being impractical, ill-fitting and uncomfortable PPE, from stab vests to safety harnesses, hard-hats to eye protectors, can be fatal or create long-term health problems.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, where for example, 75% of the British NHS health workers are female, many on the front-line are experiencing the risk of using PPE designed for the average male. Staff has to wear their masks too tight, adjust with tape, or wear them improperly, all at a threat to their health. How can we create protective products that are can ensure all are safe?
Ethnicity, race, and design
Care and diagnosis can be critically compromised when descriptors only consider one type of skin, such as COVID patients being asked if they are 'pale' or if their lips have turned blue. Malone Mukwende, a medical student in the UK, created a handbook entitled 'Mind The Gap' to help train medical staff on identifying symptoms across different skin types. In doing so, a significant share of patients can be confident that future doctors are aware of the diversity of symptoms for various conditions and improve their understanding of diseases.
Digital products are also guilty of excluding users based on their ethnicity, where users are either not recognized by the system or included in the original specification. One such example from New Zealand, where the official online passport application system would not automatically process an ethnically Chinese man's photo, because it incorrectly detected that his eyes were closed. As designers, we are responsible for being aware of the diverse user set and the implications our implicit or unconscious biases may have on the end-users.
Mutually-beneficial design for all
Many products that are now used by the wider population were designed for the most vulnerable. The bicycle evolved in the early 19th century, but its precursor was the wheelchair, first invented in 1655 by a watchmaker. Siri began its life as a voice assistant to improve the accessibility of the internet. Ramps in pavements benefit not only those in wheelchairs, but the elderly, those with push-chairs, and people temporarily using crutches. Automatic doors, taps, and other motion-sensor devices will be increasingly used as we search to find ways of moving through our environment without touching potentially contaminated surfaces.
By including previously excluded users within our research and design specifications, we can develop products that we all have an equal chance of using, which greatly enhances the experience for all.

- Subject: [mg26324] inner angle of a triangle in the 4th dimension
- From: "Jacky Vaillancourt"

- Sender: owner-wri-mathgroup at wolfram.com
Hi, i have a basic problem. I can't see my mistake can somebody help me?
Here's the problem:
I want to calculate each angle of the triangle formed by those three dots.
P:=(0,1,0,1), Q:=(3,2,-2,1), R:=(3,5,-1,3)
u:=PQ -> (3-0,2-1,-2-0,1-1) -> (3,1,-2,0)
v:=QR -> (3-3,5-2,-1-(-2),3-1) -> (0,3,1,2)
w:=PR -> (3-0,5-1,-1-0,3-1) -> (3,4,-1,2)
The formula to have the angle between tho vector is:
The formula to calculate the length is SQRT(a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2)
So, the angle between u and v is:
ARCCOS(ABS(15)/(SQRT(14)*SQRT(30))) = 42.95 deg
the angle between v and w is:
ARCCOS(ABS(-15)/(SQRT(30)*SQRT(14)))= 42.95 deg
the angle between u and w is:
ARCCOS(ABS(-1)/(SQRT(30)*SQRT(14)))= 85.9 deg
Here's the problem 180-85.9-42.95-42.95= 8.2 deg
I'm missing 8.2 deg....
I hope you'll understand what i wrote, i'm not used to write in english...

How much is 75 percent off 43000
How to calculate 75 percent-off $43000. How to figure out percentages off a price. Using this calculator you will find that the amount after the discount is $10750. To find any discount, just use our Discount Calculator below.
Percent-off Calculator?Please change the values of the two first boxes below and get answers to any combination of values.
Original price: $
Discount percentage: %
Final Price: $
Using this calculator you can find the discount value and the discounted price of an item. It is helpfull to answer questions like:
- What is 75 percent (%) off $43000?
- How much will you pay for an item where the original price before discount is $43000 when discounted 75 percent (%)? What is the final or sale price?
- $32250 is what percent off $43000?
To calculate discount it is ease by using the following formulas:
- Amount Saved = Orig. Price x Discount % / 100 (a)
- Sale Price = Orig. Price - Amount Saved (b)
How to calculate 75 Percent-off
Now, let's solve the questions stated above:
1) What is 75 percent off $43000? Find the amount of discount.
Suppose you have a Kohls coupon of $43000 and you want to know how much you will save for an item if the discount is 75 percent.
Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:
Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,
Amount Saved = 43000 x 75 / 100
Amount Saved = _PHONE_ / 100
Amount Saved = $32250 (answer).
In other words, a 75% discount for a item with original price of $43000 is equal to $32250 (Amount Saved).
Note that to find the amount saved, just multiply it by the percentage and divide by 100.
2) How much to pay for an item of $43000 when discounted 75 percent (%)? What is item's sale price?
Suppose you have a L.L. Bean coupon of $43000 and you want to know the final or sale price if the discount is 75 percent.
Using the formula (b) and replacing the given values:
Sale Price = Original Price - Amount Saved. So,
Sale Price = 43000 - 32250
Sale Price = $10750 (answer).
This means the cost of the item to you is $10750.
You will pay $10750 for a item with original price of $43000 when discounted 75%.
In this example, if you buy an item at $43000 with 75% discount, you will pay 43000 - 32250 = 10750 dollars.
3) 32250 is what percent off 43000 dollars?
Using the formula (b) and replacing given values:
Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent /100. So,
32250 = 43000 x Discount in Percent / 100
32250 / 43000 = Discount in Percent /100
100 x 32250 / 43000 = Discount in Percent
_PHONE_ / 43000 = Discount in Percent, or
Discount in Percent = 75 (answer).

What is Grilling or broiling?
Grilling or Broiling is the use of radiant heat for cooking, usually called grilling in Britain and broiling in America. Typically this is done in an electric oven, using only the upper heating element, with the door partially open. Gas ovens often provide a less-effective lower drawer for broiling.
Grilling is used to retain the juices of meat while developing flavour. Broiling does not soften the fibres of tough meat. It is best used for tender meat and poultry.
A grill tray, grill pan, [broiling tray, broiling pan (USA/Canada)] is a tray or pan, usually anodised meta, containing a raised grill insert. They are used for grilling or broiling food under the grill part of a cooker.
What is a Griddle?
A griddle is a piece of cooking equipment. In the industrial world (e.g. restaurant kitchens), it is usually a flat plate of metal (usually made out of aluminium, stainless steel or cast iron) with some kind of heat source beneath it (gas, for example).
In the non-industrial world, and in traditional cultures, the griddle may be a stone or brick slab or tablet. It is used over an open flame, or on a stove, to cook many foods, including many flatbreads. It may be used with or without oil.

, the photographic material can have improved resistance to damage by pressure because its swellingdegree in a developer can be reduced, but it suffers from an increase of color stain.
On the other hand, resources, produced gases, waste water, other various wastes and so on, have been reinspected in many fields from the standpoint of environmental preservation. In the field of photographic processing, there are growing needsfor reduction in replenishment rates of processing solutions used for processing photographic materials in view of saving resources, reduction in amount of waste water, reduction in volume of vessels used, and so on.
However, reduction in replenishment rate of a developer causes an increase of silver sludge. The thus generated silver deposit adheres to the developing tank, the rollers and other parts of an automatic developing machine, and further transferonto photographic materials processed in the developing machine to damage their image quality.
For the purpose of decreasing such silver stain, the methods of reducing the amount of silver ion eluted and/or adding such compounds as to inhibit silver ions from being reduced to silver are disclosed in JP-A-56-24347 (the term "JP-A" as usedherein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application"), JP-B-56-46585 (the term "JP-B" as used herein means an "examined Japanese patent publication"), JP-B-62-2849 and JP-A-04-362942. Those methods suffice for the prevention of silverstain in case the developer has a reduced replenishment rate, but cannot ensure satisfactory aerial-oxidation resistance to the developer.
The addition of ascorbic acid to a developer is known. In many cases, ascorbic acid is used as developing agent, as disclosed, e.g., in U.K. Patents 956,368, 1,030,495 and 1,380,309, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,821,000 and 2,688,549, and JP-B-36-17599. Since these patents use ascorbic acid as a developing agent and the developers used therein do not contain any hydroquinone derivatives, the effect of ascorbic acid in the present invention is away from those patents. Moreover, ascorbic acid is liableto be hydrolyzed through aerial oxidation when the amount added to an alkali developer is increased beyond 0.15 M. The hydrolysis of ascorbic acid lowers the pH of the developer to result in a lowering of the developer's activity.
The patents relating to the combined use of a hydroquinone derivative and ascorbic acid in a developer are also disclosed. For instance, there can be cited U.S. Pat. No. 3,512,981, JP-B-55-49298, U.K. Patents 1,326,495 and 1,266,533,JP-B-44-28673 and U.K. Patent 1,365,236. More specifically, these patents concern the lith type developing systems for the field of photomechanical processes. However, those developing systems are low in free sulfite ion concentration, so that theirstability is poor. That is, they are undesirable from the standpoint of preservation of the developer. Further, the combined use of a hydroquinone derivative and ascorbic acid in a single bath developer is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,806,344, WestGerman Patent 2,549,683, and so on. However, the purpose of using such developers is different from that of the present developer. The combined use of a hydroquinone derivative, ascorbic acid and a 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone derivative in a developer isdisclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,865,591. The ascorbic acid used therein functions as a developing agent; moreover, the specification of the above-cited patent is silent on the effect of ascorbic acid which is revealed by the present invention. Furthermore, the developer of that patent is low in development activity because the pH range thereof is low. Therefore, it is also different in purpose from the present developer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for processing silver halide photographic materials, which enables the silver halide photographic materials to have reduced color stain even when they have suitability for rapid processingand the generation of silver sludge in a developing tank and/or on a development rack and rollers.
The foregoing object is attained with the present processing method described below.
The present method for processing silver halide photographic materials is characterized in that, after exposure, silver halide photographic materials having on a support at least one silver halide emulsion layer and at least one protective layerprovided over said emulsion layer, each of said photographic materials containing colloidal silica in at least one emulsion layer and being at most 200% in the total swelling degree of the whole hydrophilic colloid layers provided on the side of saidemulsion layer, are developed with a developer adjusted to pH 9.5-12.0 and containing at least (1) a hydroquinone developing agent in a concentration of from 0.2 to 0.75 mole/l, (2) an auxiliary developing agent of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone and/or anauxiliary developing agent of p-aminophenol in a concentration of from 0.001 to 0.06 mole/l, (3) free sulfite ions in a concentration of from 0.3 to 1.2 mole/l, (4) a compound represented by the following formula (I), and (5) a compound represented bythe following formula (II) in a concentration bearing a ratio of from 0.03 to 0.12 to the concentration of the hydroquinone developing agent: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkylgroup, a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group, a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, a phosphono group, an amino group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a halogen atom, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, a sulfamoyl group or analkoxy group, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may combine with each other to complete a ring structure; ##STR3## wherein R.sub.21 and R.sub.22 each represents a hydroxy group, an amino group, an acylamino group, an alkylsulfonylamino group, an arylsulfonylaminogroup, an alkoxycarbonylamino group, a mercapto group or an alkylthio group, and X is constituted of carbon, oxygen or/and nitrogen atoms and forms a 5- or 6-membered ring together with the vinyl group's two carbon atoms to which R.sub.21 and R.sub.22are attached and the carbonyl group's carbon atom.
Now, the compounds represented by formula (I) are described in detail.
In formula (I), it is desirable that either R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 be an alkyl group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, an aryl group containing 6 to 12 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, an aralkyl group containing7 to 12 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, a nitro group, a cyano group or a halogen atom. The total number of carbon atoms contained in R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is preferably in the range of 2 to 20. In addition, it is also desirable that R.sub.1and R.sub.2 combine with each other to complete a saturated 5- or 6-membered ring.
More desirably, R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing an amino group or a heterocyclylic group as a substituent, while R.sub.2 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituent or an aryl groupcontaining 6 to 12 carbon atoms which may have a substituent; or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are moieties completing a saturated 5- or 6-membered ring by combining with each other. Specific examples of R.sub.1 include dimethylaminomethyl group, morpholinomethylgroup, N-methylpiperazinylmethyl group and pyrrolidinylmethyl group. As for R.sub.2, on the other hand, methyl group, ethyl group, phenyl group, p-methoxyphenyl group and the like are specific examples thereof.
Specific examples of the compound represented by formula (I) are illustrated below. However, the invention should not be construed as being limited to these compounds. ##STR4##
The above-illustrated compounds can be easily prepared using well-known conventional methods. Literatures to refer to about the preparation methods thereof are Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, volume 3, pages 40-56, pages 106-142 and pages179-192, and The Journal of American Chemical Society, volume 67, pages 2197-2200 (1945).
The compound of formula (I) is preferably added in an amount of from 0.01 to 100 m mole per liter of the developer, more preferably from 0.1 to 10 m mole per liter of the developer

The word "Venusian" is simply a combination of the name of the planet Venus and the suffix -ian, formed on the analogy of "Martian" (as if = "Marsian"). It is usually pronounced /vɨˈnjuːʒən/ or /vɨˈnjuːʃən/. Based on the latter pronunciation, the spelling "Venutian" is sometimes found.
The classically derived form of the word would be "Venerean" or "Venerian" (cf. Latin: venereus, venerius "belonging to the goddess Venus"), but these forms have been used by only a few authors (e.g. Robert A. Heinlein). Scientists sometimes use the adjective "Cytherean" to describe Venus, from the goddess' epithet Cytherea. "Venusian" is used in preference to "Venerean" due to the latter's use in the term venereal disease.[1]
Venusians in literature[edit]
 - In the "Venus series" of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Burroughs created a fictitious 'Venusian' alphabet supposedly used by the Venusians (or "Amtorians" - as "Amtor" is what the natives call their planet). His artificial Amtor letters flow nicely together like cursive writing.[2]
 - In Olaf Stapledon's 1930 novel Last and First Men, when the Moon threatens to slowly spiral down to crash into Earth, humans leave Earth and colonize Venus; in the process of doing so, humans totally exterminate Venus' native inhabitants, a semi-intelligent deep ocean marine species. The descendants of the invaders, Sixth to Eighth Men, can be considered Venerians themselves.
 - In Charles R. Tanner's "Tumithak of the Corridors" (1932) and its sequels, Venus is the homeworld of the shelks, spider-like aliens who have conquered Earth and forced most of the few surviving humans underground.
 - In C. S. Lewis' book Perelandra (1943), professor Elwin Ransom travels to Venus (the title is the name of the planet in the Old Solar language), a planet mostly covered by water with floating islands on it, in order to fight a possessed professor Weston and prevent the "Adam and Eve" of this young planet from bringing about the same fate that befell Earth (Thulcandra). In the book, Lewis depicts a wide variety of flora and fauna, with some animals close to being sentient. The King and Queen of the planet are humanoid, but green, and their commandment is for them not to sleep on the fixed land, a still island. When this happens, the Oyarsa of this world, a type of Angel like being who seems feminine like the classical goddess, tells Ransom that this will be the start of a new age.
 - In the British comic Dan Dare (1950–1967), Venus is inhabited by green-skinned Treens and Therons, who are separated by a fire wall running across Venus. The Mekon, the Super-intelligent Treen leader is a primary villain. Most Treens are emotionless. The Terons are more friendly to Earth.
 - I Am the Doorway, a short story in Stephen King's 1971 collection Night Shift, concerns an astronaut who returns from a tragic mission to Venus to find himself possessed by a murderously terrified alien entity.
 - In Jacqueline Susann's romance Yargo (1979), Venus is said to be inhabited by bees that are as big as horses.
 - In the book Venus by Ben Bova, the inhabitants of Venus are strange snake like creatures that use molten sulfur for blood. They are not sapient. There are also micro-organisms in the clouds that break down ceramics and metals.
 - In Heinlein's story "Logic of Empire" the Venusians are an intelligent but primitive race of amphibians who trade valuable swamp roots to the human colonists in return for tobacco. In the novel Podkayne of Mars (depicting a fairly different Venus) Venusians are humanoids of great physical strength but also very primitive.
 - In early Captain Marvel stories, Venusians are giant frog-like amphibians which are ruled over by the evil mad scientist Doctor Sivana and his family. They are used to the tropical jungles of Venus and find Earth cold, and are quite savage. Venus is inhabited by other savage creatures, some which resemble prehistoric beasts, such as the centaur-like Gorillalion (which is half-gorilla half-lion).
 - The Hydrads of Venus, who resemble huge animated sponges, appear in Planet Comics, in the Lost World section. If hurt, water can restore them to health. Though opposed to the Voltamen who have invaded Earth, they are also enemies to Hunt Bowman.
 - In the Superman story which had the first appearance of the Legion of Super-Villains, one of the members was Cosmic King, a scientist who worked on transmuting elements, but when he was struck by the ray he gained the power to send those beams from his eyes. However, he was exiled from Venus for these experiments.
 - In DC Comics All-Star Comics #13 the JSA are gassed by Nazis and rocketed to different planets. Wonder Woman is sent to Venus and finds it to be inhabited by fairies led by Queen Desira, who worship Aphrodite, and claim to have been at peace for 'a million years'. She helps them in a war against the Meteor Men, large brutal males.
 - In Showcase #23, Hal Jordan Green Lantern is sent by the Guardians, operating through the power battery to Venus where he meets blue-skinned primitive humanoids who are being attacked by pterodactyl-like creatures. He seals the monsters in a cave, and leaves the world, saying the cavemen will one day be a great civilisation.
 - The Gobsmacking Galaxy, an entry in the children's non-fiction series The Knowledge written by Kjartan Poskitt, humorously describes hypothetical alien life forms which might evolve on planets in the solar system; the Venusian creatures are small, squat and round to cope with Venus's atmospheric pressures and make their living selling life insurance to visiting astronauts (before they succumb to the planet's extreme heat and pressure).
Venusians in film[edit]
 - 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) deals with the crash-landing on Sicily of a spaceship returning from an expedition to Venus and the resulting rampage by a creature which it brought back. The creature (called in production, but not in the film, a "Ymir") is a reptilian humanoid with perhaps the intelligence of a chimpanzee, which under Terran conditions grows to roughly 20 feet tall. The film was animated by Ray Harryhausen.
 - In the film Easy Rider, Jack Nicholson's character speaks of Venusians around a campfire after smoking marijuana.
 - Venus Wars is a 1989 science fiction anime film about life on the planet Venus in the year 2089 after it has been colonized by humans.
 - In the original Japanese version of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, Princess Selina Salno of the fictional country of Selginia claims to be a survivor of the destruction of Venus by King Ghidorah.
Venusians in television[edit]
 - Venusians work as members of the united galactic organisation in the 1962 television series Space Patrol.
 - In the first episode of the show Futurama, graffiti written in "Alien Language 1" is translated "Go Home Venusians".
 - In the second episode of Challenge of the Super Friends, Venus is shown to be inhabited by an advanced civilization called the Fearians. The Fearians are depicted as having three-heads with green skin and red eyes. The Fearian Leader (voiced by Michael Bell) form an alliance with the Legion of Doom, who trick the Super Friends into changing the world so it can support Fearian life. This will allow the Fearians to form a colony and the Legion will rule the world. The Super Friends are trapped by the Fearian Leader in a force field. However, Green Lantern makes them invisible, causing the Leader to think they have escaped and turn of the field. He is defeated by Black Lightning and Green Lantern sends him back to Venus. The Super Friends then restore the world.
Venusians in Ufology[edit]
In the 1950s a group of people called contactees told stories in which they claimed to be in contact with friendly, light-haired, light-skinned humans from the planet Venus, as well as other planets in Earth's solar system.[3] The first contactee, and the most famous, was George Adamski of Palomar Mountain, California. He claimed that on November 20, 1952 he met a Venusian named Orthon in a California desert. Adamski said that Orthon communicated with him via telepathy about the dangers of nuclear war and that he left behind footprints with mysterious symbols on them.[4] Adamski also displayed numerous photographs that he claimed showed the Venusian UFOs, and he said some

To explore interactions between climate and peatland hydrology, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) growing at four raised bogs in southern Sweden were subject to a dendroclimatological study. Radial tree growth reflecting climate and water table fluctuations over multiannual periods was detected as significant negative correlations between tree-ring width (TRW) chronologies and the preceding one to four years total precipitation or river discharge. Systematically stronger negative correlations were obtained when river discharge instead of precipitation was compared to radial tree growth. This indicates that river discharge reflect moisture variability of peat bogs better than what precipitation data does. Meanwhile, monthly precipitation and radial tree growth did not show any clear correlation, whereas spring and early summer temperatures had a positive influence on the tree growth. Our study shows that growth variability of bog pines in the Boreal zone reflect hydrological responses related to a synthesis of climate controlled moisture variability over several year periods.


WILD LIFE IN ACONCAGUA about aconcagua
The reserve is in the phytogeographic High Andean province. Because it is an ecosystem of extreme elevation and low precepitations, turning the weather rigurous, the biodiversity is low. However, the animal and plant species are interesting, showing a remarkable adaptation to high altitude life and concentrating themselves towards the lower areas of the park.
The predominante vegetation are open pastures of huecú and coirones with limited areas of low trees, such as yellow leña, yareta and goat horn. In general, the vegetation adapts to endure low temperatures, poor soils and snow and wind storms, almost disappearing over 4000 m All this is what gives it its stocky look. There are flatter areas where water accumulates and you see other kinds of vegetation, that endures long periods of soil freezing.
The typical animal species are the condor, the eagle, mountain mice and the red fox, there is a frog species that stands out and a lizard, both of them typical mountain species. The flat lands and the streams are visited by special bird species, such as chorlos, churrines and torrente ducks. There are large herds of llamas, followed by pumas, the main predator. The european hares are abundant, an exotic animal in the region.
As an adaptation to cold weather, the animal species are, in general, big, avoiding the loss of their body heat. The mammals posess soft and thick fur, that keeps them warm. Other species, such as the guanacos (llamas), pumas or foxes have the capacity to emigrate to the lower regions when the weather is too cold, this is the case of the condor and the eagle. The mountain mice can not move very far, so they take refuge in their caverns during the winter.

Skeletons must not be sold as Hallowe'en props, doctors warned
skeleton lantern
The Medical Defence Union said the it is sometimes asked for advice on what doctors should do if they find human remains Credit: Reuters
Human skeletons must not be sold as Halloween props, doctors have been reminded.
Current medical students use plastic replicas of skeletons in their studies, but in the past doctors used real human skeletons.
Now the Medical Defence Union (MDU) has issued guidance for medics about the use and disposal of real bones.
It said that it is occasionally asked about how to appropriately deal with human remains.
The medical defence organisation said that skeletons cannot just be sold on like any other unwanted item.
Its guidance on the disposal of skeletons reminds medics that they must maintain dignity and respect in the handling of all human bodies and tissue.
"For example, advertising a genuine human skeleton online for use as a Halloween prop could draw criticism," it states.
The document draws attention to the strict rules on the disposing of human remains.
Dr Ellie Mein, medico-legal adviser for the MDU, said: "Medical students now use plastic replicas of skeletons in their studies, but up until 30 or 40 years ago it was common for those studying medicine to use a real human skeleton.
"At the MDU we sometimes hear from doctors and their relatives who literally find a skeleton in the closet and wonder how to dispose of it sensitively.
"There are strict rules about the disposal of human remains, meaning skeletons can't just be sold on like any other unwanted item.
"In fact auctions sites such as eBay say they don't allow the sale of human body parts, skulls or bones regardless of whether they are for medical use or not.
The organisation said any disposal of body parts should be done sensitively, and with respect and dignity. This can include by incineration, separate from other clinical waste or burial.
Dr Mein said: "Another option is to donate a skeleton to a medical school for teaching purposes or give the skeleton to a medical student. However any medical school using body parts to train healthcare professionals needs the appropriate HTA licence.
"Any doctor considering disposing of a human skeleton should bear in mind that a key principle on which the Human Tissue Act is based is that all bodies, body parts or tissue should be treated with respect and dignity."

Nvidia Corp. plans to introduce a new technology for mobile computers that will finally marry high-performance graphics and low power consumption in Q1 2010, the company said in a statement. The technology is called Optimus and is claimed to be unique for Nvidia.
"Nvidia Optimus technology works on notebook platforms with Nvidia GPUs. […] It is seamless and transparent to the user. Its purpose is to optimize the mobile experience by letting the user get the performance of discrete graphics from a notebook while still delivering great battery life," an explanation by Nvidia reads.
From Nvidia's explanation it is unclear whether Optimus is a new technology to trim power consumption of graphics processing units (GPUs); a technology that seamlessly switches between low-power integrated graphics cores inside Intel Corp.'s latest central processing units and Nvidia's discrete graphics processing units; or a new class of Nvidia graphics processors designed for mobile computers that can deliver very low power consumption when in battery mode by disabling power-consuming parts of the chip.
Meeting low power consumption and high performance graphics processing is very important for notebooks these days as consumers demand rich graphics experience, but still want long battery life, which often gets compromised by power-consuming GPUs.

Difference between revisions of "Gulf Coast (Texas)"
Revision as of 10:02, 24 March 2008
Texas's Gulf Coast stretches for hundreds of miles, from the Louisiana border to Brownsville on the Rio Grande. The beaches are excellent, and oil-rich cities like Houston make for fun nightlife, too.
Home to some of the best beaches in America, the Texas Gulf Coast region draws millions of visitors to this Texas playground. Stretching some 350 miles from South Padre Island & the Rio Grande Valley, all the way to Beaumont & the Louisiana border, this region is renowned for its wildlife & natural beauty, as well as the home of America's space program.
The Texas coast is like no other. Stretching about 367 miles as the crow flies along a gentle arc that makes up the northwestern edge of the Gulf of Mexico, there are actually over 3,300 miles of shoreline along its islands, bays and river mouths.
It's no wonder that coastal communities are the most densely populated and fastest growing areas in the country. The opportunities and resources that originally lured Native Americans and settlers continue to attract people to the coast today. Throughout the year, tourists travel to the shore to enjoy recreational activities and visit locales with relaxed surroundings.
Coastal residents and tourists seek out beaches and bays for fishing, swimming, wildlife viewing, picnicking, camping, boating, and other activities. Tourism is big business in Texas, and coastal communities rely on their beaches and bays to attract tourists, who spend billions of dollars each year.
Texas coastal communities continue a coastal historic heritage with an active economy. Whether the coastal traveler is interested in fishing, birding, beachcombing, or simply sight-seeing, the Texas coast has some-thing to offer everyone.


Medical abbreviations play a very critical role, especially for the medical ID items such as tags, medical ID alert bracelets and medical ID plaques. All of these medical ID items differ from each other in multiple ways. Some are made differently, some appear differently.
However, one thing that is common to all of these isthey are crisp and brief. This is where the role of medical ID abbreviations come into play.
While making any medical ID gear, it is important to utilize the given space judiciously so that you can be optimally communicative and share all the vital information as needed.
Purpose of Medical ID Gears and Information it Should Include
Since there is always a high demand of patients in hospitals vis-à-vis the lesser supply of responders, the medical ID gears are made for faster service. The medical responders are trained to look for a medical ID and deliver the required treatment in the effective and efficient manner. In a medical emergency situation, such as sudden unconsciousness or inability to speak or communicate, it is your medical ID which speaks on your behalf.
A medical ID gear comprises of the following pieces of information:
 - Name and address of the patient
 : A medical ID gear comprises of the name of the patient along with the address as this helps in faster recognition for the treatment.
 - Medical condition of the patient
 : This is one of the most crucial information pieces that is present on the medical ID of the patient. This plays a very critical role in helping the emergency responder with the kind of treatment to be given to the patient. Hence, it is important that it is written with utmost care and precision. This should also include what the patient is allergic to.
 - Medications to be given
 : This is the most important aspect of the medical ID and needs to be written with the accuracy. If this goes wrong, there could a huge danger hovering on the patient's life. Hence, for the right treatment from the doctor/medical responder, it is important that this is taken care of well.
In order to fulfil all the above-mentioned requirements and create the perfect medical ID gear, you need to be well versed with all the abbreviations that are used in the medical world. To help you better with this, we have compiled a list of all such abbreviations that you may have to use. Here follows the list:

Many pregnant women are worried by one thing or another and this is compounded by a fear that their anxiety can also harm the foetus.
Researcher Mona Bekkhus can reassure expectant mothers that there are no specific maternal psychological conditions that prenatally represent a risk of future behaviour issues.
Bekkhus has carried out research on various risk factors for child behaviour difficulties, before birth and after.
"If the mother is long-term mentally ill and the family has prolonged conflicts, this can increase the likelihood of behaviour problems for the child."
"But psychological disorders of shorter duration do not raise this risk for the kids," says Bekkhus.
Bekkhus used the "Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study", which comprises data from 100,000 pregnant women in the period 1999 to 2008 in her doctoral thesis at the Department of Psychology at the University of Oslo.
She says it's a pleasure to release some results that for once indicate there's something that doesn't pose a risk for the unborn child.
"Pregnant women in today's society face so many no-nos and they have to watch out for nearly everything."
"But being worried or suffering anxiety is not one of those things ‒ maybe lots of pregnant women will be less disturbed after hearing this," says the researcher.
She concludes that several factors previously deemed potentially harmful now prove to be without consequence in this context.
One of these is intake of caffeine during pregnancy, which she says doesn't have an impact on an infant's future behavioural patterns.
But that doesn't mean a cup of coffee goes Scott free as a risk factor during pregnancy.
"I would still be a little careful about caffeine consumption during pregnancy because other studies have shown it can pose a medical risk, for instance increasing the chance of a miscarriage."
Once a baby sees the light of day, a life outside mum's body is forever its fate. This means the child starts getting its taste of family life and for many, day care too.
From certain quarters it's been suggested that starting kindergarten very young entails a higher risk of behavioural problems. But once again, Bekkhus can assuage fears with her research findings.
"Whether or not the child attended kindergarten had no connection with restlessness. Here too, it's the family that is important. As long as the family is stable it doesn't matter if the child is in kindergarten or not," asserts Bekkhus.

Pruning roadside trees when branches overhang your property
Should you wish to carry out pruning to roadside trees, when branches overhang your property, you may do so given the following provisos:-
- branches may not be cut beyond the property boundary.
- pruning must not cause significant damage to the tree (e.g. large cuts can result in decay leading to further safety concerns).
- you have the responsibility for checking that a tree is not protected by a Tree Preservation Order or within a Conservation Area. Please contact your local District Council Planning Department (see below).
- please dispose of the cuttings.

Chatoyance – Eye of the Cat:
The name "Chatoyance" originates from the French word "chatoyer," which means "to shine like a "cats eye gemstone."
Chatoyance occurs in stones that contain a large number of very thin parallel inclusions within the stone, known as a "silk."
In a chatoyant gemstone, the band of light will move back and forth beneath the surface of the gem as it is turned into a beam of incident light.
The motion of the cat's eye across the top of the gem is one of the things that make these stones so interesting, beautiful, and desired by many people.
The chatoyancy in gemstone chrysoberyl is so prominent that the term cat's eye has come to be used exclusively for it. So it should be understood that a cat's eye is not a gemstone per se, but the name of a phenomenon.
How Chatoyant Works:
In Chatoyancy stone the light wave moves back and forth underneath the Chatoyant gem surface when it is kept or placed under the beam of light.
The beam of a light wave will shift or displace if the observer moves his/her head or stone position is altered to observe stone from different angles.
Chatoyancy is observed in varying forms. First is the regular band of light that distinctly stretches across the stone. Second is the 'opening and closing effect' where there are two bands visible across the stone.
How to cut a cat's eye stone:
The cat's eye gemstone can be produced with cabochon gemstones. Thus, those gem traders who have the intent of producing cat's eye stone must first choose that stone which has a large number of silk inclusions present in the stone.
And the gem cutter should carefully select a rough gemstone so that the parallel inclusions or silk inclusions remain beneath the stone and parallel inclusions remain parallel to the long axis of chatoyancy basically occurs in those stones that possess a large number of parallel thin inclusions inside the stone also termed as "Silk".
The wave of light, when struck this parallel inclusion, forms a band of light underneath the stone surface. The band of light will generally appear at right angles to the length of alongside inclusions.
These inclusions are aligned toward the crystal axis and these inclusions can be named as hollow tubes, crystal or other linear structure that are present in the stone.
Unfortunately, if a gem cutter fails to accomplish the above-mentioned goal, then a clear cat's eye stone will not be produced.
Assessing the Quality of a Cat's-Eye Gemstone:
The best cat's-eye gems have an eye that meets the following criteria:
- It is clearly visible
- It symmetrically bisects the cabochon
- It contrasts sharply with the stone's body color
- It moves smoothly as the stone is turned under the light
If a stone features all of the above criteria and has an exceptional body color, then you have a fantastic cat's eye stone.
Facts about Cat's eye Lehsunia
Some of the lesser known truths about the cat's eye are as follows:
- The chemical that causes this effect of the cat's eye is known as Chrysoberyl (BeO.Al2O3)
- The chemical bonding is Rhombic
- Cat's eye is greenish, brownish, yellowish and often found in colorless hues or shades.
- It has an explicit gravity of 3.71 and hardness of 8.5 on the Moh's scale
- It is brittle, but interestingly it is hard enough to be cast into a ring
- Translucent multi-shaded stones that resemble cat's eye are frequently mistaken for quartz tiger's eye
- They are frequently referred to as " oeil de visit"
Where does Cat's eye gemstone occur?
The Cat's eye is mostly found in Sri Lanka, Brazil and India. Some of the other countries where it is found is South Africa, Russia, Burma, and the U.S. In India, it is largely mined in Odisha, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Bihar.
