Just so you know: Canned sardines are kosher.
This judgment would appear to be definitive, based on DNA evidence. Genetic testing by a parasitologist at the American Museum of Natural History has confirmed that the recent discovery of small worms in canned sardines does not render them treyf, or unkosher. It may render them unappetizing, but that judgment is up to the consumer (more on that later).
The museum got involved last March when rabbis from the Orthodox Union, which certifies as kosher hundreds of thousands of products across the world, sought scientific help in resolving a question that arose when they began finding the worms, or nematodes, in cans of sardines.
Talmudic debates can turn on fine distinctions, but this was relatively straightforward. The presence of worms could have been a sign that, during the preparation of the canned sardines, muscle from the fish had been improperly handled and allowed to mix with intestinal contents of the sardines, rendering them unkosher.
The issue was important because it "could have led to sardines losing certification as kosher," said Dr. Mark Siddall, a curator and professor in the invertebrate department of the museum, who conducted the testing. Many consumers, including non-Jews, look for the certification label as a sign of quality assurance in food preparation.
The rabbis brought their samples of sardina pilchardus — the Mediterranean sardine — to the museum, where Dr. Siddall conducted so-called "DNA bar-coding" to analyze the species of the worms. Their DNA was isolated and two variants of the cytochrome oxidase gene — which is different for every animal species, as unique as a fingerprint, Dr. Siddall said — revealed that the type of worms in the samples reside only in the flesh of sardines. "This meant that there was no evidence that the intestines and the flesh had been commingled," Dr. Siddall said.
The Orthodox Union also discovered evidence of worms in cans of orange capelin roe, and Dr. Siddall's testing confirmed that the worms, as well, were not intestine-dwellers. The analysis of Dr. Siddall and his colleagues has been published in The Journal of Parasitology, and the union has formally ruled that both the sardines, and the capelin roe, are kosher. (The entire paper can be read below.)
In 2004, a similar Talmudic tempest involved a tiny crustacean known as a copepod, which was discovered swimming in New York City's tap water, spurring debate among the observant about whether it rendered city water unkosher. Many contended that the crustacean was a distant relative of shrimp and lobster, shellfish that cannot be consumed because they lack fins and scales. The Orthodox Union recommended that city water be filtered before using it for drinking and cooking. That prompted restaurants to install filters, some costing more than $1,000, to remove the interlopers.
As for worms in sardines or in any fish, Article 81 of the New York City Department of Health Code has long required that "aquatic animals, fish or molluscan shellfish" be cooked, rendering such parasites harmless — unless customers assume some risk by asking for raw fish, as in sushi. The best sushi masters constantly examine the fish for evidence of parasites.
"The notion that there are worms in fish flesh is not new," Dr. Siddall said. "As long as they're cooked, or frozen first, they're perfectly safe."
Yes, but if the sardines are both safe and kosher, are the worms themselves — which are barely visible and look like thin whitish threads — disgusting?
"It is up to the individual's aesthetic as to whether that is 'yucky,' " Dr. Siddall said. "I've eaten worse. Curdled goose blood. Rhino beetle larvae. Both yummy. But that's another story."


About Gaddi Community in Himachal
Gaddis, Tribes of Himachal resides mainly in Kangra and Chamba Districts.
Gaddis are basically shephards who owns number of sheep and goats. Though the community is also present in Mandi, Kullu and Bilaspur but the major population of Gaddis live in Kangra District and Bharmaur in Chamba.
The origin of Gaddis is still a topic of debate. This is because in earlier days Gaddis did not have their permanent home. In the summers they used to climb up the Himalayas with their sheep and goat ( commonly known as Dhan). In the winters they used to roam around in the plane areas. There are many theories about the origin of Gaddis but none of them has arrived at the conclusion. Few theories believe that the Gaddis have originated from plains mainly from Punjab.
Gaddi community speak their own gaddi dialect. They also speak other languages like pahari and hindi. The population of Gaddis is very small. The exact number is not available. This small community possess its unique culture. They have their own folk songs, unique, attractive and colourful Gaddi dress and a different way of performing poojas.
Gaddi Topi (cap) is know famous and worn all over in Himachal.Gaddi dance called Naati is very famous in Himachal Pradesh.Gaddis have a stong built and has very good stamina. They can carry quintil of load on their back and travel non stop in the Himalayan region. The people in this community are honest hard working and very affectionate. Now a very small population is left with Dhan (sheep and goat). Most of the Gaddis now do farming or weaving and have taken up Government Jobs.

A Perl script to convert a text file to Multiterm XML
Added: 12 June 2008, last updated: July 17, 2008
I've often read in forums and mailing lists about people having problems with importing a glossary into Multiterm. Most of the time you need a bilingual glossary from which you can insert terms into Word, TagEditor or SDL Edit.
A few years ago I had the same problem and it was then that I developed a Perl script to convert a tab-delimited text file into an XML file compatible with Multiterm's bilingual glossary template. Unfortunately this script ran only inside Notetab Pro, which can execute external scripts and grab their output.
Now I learned how to handle encoding conversions in Perl and I made a standalone version of the script, which can be downloaded here. Actually two scripts, one for English – Polish, and the other for Polish – English glossaries.
Before you use the script, you will have to edit it once to adapt it to your language pair. The script may be made smarter in the future, but for now it does its job well, once you edit the language settings.
When you open the script with a plain text editor (one that can edit/save UTF-8 encoded files), disable wrapping of long lines and go to line 31 which looks like this:
Change English (United States) and EN-US to the correct settings for your source language.
Go to line 45 of the script and repeat this step for the target language.
You can check the correct language names and codes in step 3 of 5 of Multiterm's Termbase Creation Wizard.
Make sure that you do not delete the quotation marks around the language name and language code, nor the forward slash at the end of the tag.
Save the script. You can use the Save As command and rename the script from MTENUSPL.pl to something that represents your source and target language. Keep the pl extension. It stands for "perl" not "Polish". ;-)
To run the script, you need:
- Perl. You can get Perl for Windows as a free download from _URL_
- A tab-delimited file with your glossary, saved in the UTF-8 encoding. You can save a tab delimited file with this encoding in Word, OpenOffice Writer, UltraEdit, NoteTab Pro, PSPad etc. I can't make the script guess the encoding of the source file, so it must be in UTF-8. Also, if your tab-delimited file contains any of these characters: <, >, &, replace them as follows:
- replace < with <
- replace > with >
- replace & with &
If you leave these characters without any changes, they will break the import into Multiterm.
To run the script, copy it where your tab-delimited file is.
Open the command line (Start key+R, type cmd, press Enter). Change the directory to where the script and the tab-delimited file are.
Type the following command:
perl MTENUSPL.pl sourcefile.txt
and press Enter. If the source file is "well formed", the script will process it and create a sourcefile.txt.xml file. This file can be imported into a Multiterm termbase based on the bilingual glossary template.
You can download the two scripts in a zipped file here. For feedback about the scripts please use this form, or contact me through the cat_conv yahoogroup.
When you have successfully created your xml glossary file, you can import it into Multiterm. This short tutorial explains how to do it.

I take a specific brand of contraceptive pill. Will a different brand work the same way?
Yes, a woman can change the brand of her contraceptive pill. She can choose to change to another brand that has the same active ingredients and same effect and she can also change to another brand with other active ingredients. In both situations the efficacy should be the same. Commercial pharmaceutical companies create medicines, and then promote them under specific names. So the same tablet might have many different names. For example, the pain killer acetaminophen/paracetamol is sold as APAP, Panadol, Tylenol and many other brands. But it is also sold as acetaminophen or under a store brand. These are called "generic" brands. The companies do not spend money advertising generics, therefore they are usually much less expensive then the well-advertised brands.
 Medicines with famous brands can be very expensive. The high cost does not mean that they are better. In fact, generic medicines have exactly the same formulation as the brand name medicines, are just as safe and effective, and are regulated and controlled for quality. They just do not have a famous commercial brand name. Generic medicines help people worldwide get the medicines that they need at a more reasonable cost. Women Help Women supports access to generic brands, so that more women can obtain the reproductive health medicines that they need for their health and reproductive autonomy.

Background: Virtual reality is an alternative therapeutic resource to be inserted into cardiovascular rehabilitation, stimulating the practice of physical activity through man-machine interaction.
Objective: To compare the effects of conventional and virtual reality cardiac rehabilitation on body composition and functional capacity in patients with heart disease.
Methods: Randomized clinical trial with 27 cardiac patients divided into conventional rehabilitation group (CRG) and virtual reality rehabilitation group (VRG). They underwent a rehabilitation program with 60-minute training sessions twice a week for eight weeks. The VRG training consisted of exercises from the Xbox 360® with Kinect™, using YourShape™ and Dance Central 3™ games. The CRG used conventional treadmills for aerobic exercise and free weights for resistance exercise. Bioimpedance and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were evaluated at baseline and after training. For main outcome analysis, Student t and Mann Whitney tests were used with a 5% significance level.
Results: The VRG showed a significant increase in body fat percentage and fat weight when compared to the CRG, and a smaller amount of total water. There was a significant improvement in functional capacity evidenced by the increase in the distance covered in the 6MWT (54.00 m and 32.25 m in the CRG and VRG, respectively), but the gains did not differ between the groups.
Conclusion: The two rehabilitation modalities had no effect on the body composition of the groups. In addition, the improvement in functional capacity was similar in both groups. (Int J Cardiovasc Sci. 2018;31(6)619-629)
Keywords: Cardiovascular Diseases; Cardiac Rehabilitation; Physical Therapy Modalities; Body Composition; Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy.

Whereas is usually used for comparing the features of two different things, when there is an important difference between them.
Whereas can be used when comparing anything: people, objects, places, actions etc.
You can use it in a sentence in two ways:
As a conjunction, to join two sentences together when there are 2 different subjects:
- I like beer whereas she likes wine.
- I'm good at snowboarding whereas she's good at skiing.
As a conjunction, at the start of a sentence where you are comparing 2 different things:
- Whereas I like blue, she likes green.
- Whereas smaller shops often have more expensive products, larger supermarkets can often put their prices down.
Whereas used in a legal context
Whereas can also be used for legal purposes, in the preamble (introduction) of a legal text, usually a contract.
This is called a 'whereas clause', and 'whereas' is used as an introductory word – it isn't used to compare things. Instead, it means "considering that" or "given the fact that".
The 'whereas clause' isn't a legal part of the contract's operative provisions – it simply 'paints the picture' or 'sets the stage', it gives an introduction to the situation.
Examples of whereas used in a legal context:
- Whereas party 1 has made allegations against party 2 that party 2 recklessly, negligently and/or fraudulently misrepresented and omitted material facts.
- Whereas party 1 is a dissolved corporation with a formal principal place of business in London.
Whereas synonyms (non-legal sense)
Since whereas is used as a conjunction, joining two ideas together in one sentence, it can often be replaced with other conjunctions.
Whereas Vs. While Vs. But Vs. And
While (when while is not used to signal time)
'While' is used in the same way as 'whereas' in a sentence, but only when 'while' is not used to mean "during the time that something else happens".
That means that you can replace 'whereas' with 'while' when it is used as a conjunction, but only when it is used at the start of a sentence:
- While I work in accounting, she works in the sales department.
- While I prefer going to the beach, I know a lot of people would rather spend their holidays in colder places.
But is also used to connect clauses or sentences, however, unlike 'and', it is used to signal a difference between two different ideas.
The main difference between 'but' and 'whereas', is that 'but' is used to signal a difference (or negative aspect), whereas 'whereas' is used to compare two things that are different. They can be interchanged in certain situations, for example:
- I like pasta but / whereas she likes pizza.
However, in other examples, but is used to present either the opposite of the original idea, or something negative about the original idea:
- I like that restaurant but it's a bit expensive.
- She looked tired but happy.
In these examples, when there is only one subject in the sentence, but can't be replaced with whereas.
'And' is used to connect words, clauses or sentences that should be considered together.
You can replace 'whereas' with 'and' when it is used in the middle of a sentence to compare two ideas that oppose one another (are different / contracting), and the meaning of the sentence won't change much.
However, using 'and' instead of 'whereas' means the ideas are simply being stated, rather than compared.
- I like chicken and she likes fish.
- I'm really good at running and he's really good at swimming.

Sham ennisim (Egyptian Arabic: شم النسيم, IPA: [ˈʃæmm ennɪˈsiːm], from Coptic: Ϭⲱⲙ ̀ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲓⲙ shom ennisim) is an Egyptian national holiday marking the beginning of spring. It always falls on the day after the Eastern Christian Easter (following the custom of the largest Christian denomination in the country, the Coptic Orthodox Church). Despite the Christian-related date, the holiday is celebrated by Egyptians regardless of religion.[1]
The name of the holiday is derived from the Egyptian name of the Harvest Season, known as Shemu, which means a day of creation. According to annals written by Plutarch during the 1st century AD, the Ancient Egyptians used to offer salted fish, lettuce, and onions to their deities on this day.[2]
After the Christianization of Egypt, the festival became associated with the other Christian spring festival, Easter. Over time, Shemu morphed into its current form and its current date, and by the time of the Islamic conquest of Egypt, the holiday was settled on Easter Monday. The Islamic calendar being lunar and thus unfixed relative to the solar year, the date of Sham el-Nessim remained on the Christian-linked date even after most Egyptians had become Muslims. As Egypt became Arabized, the term Shemu found a rough phono-semantic match in Sham el-Nessim, or "Smelling/Taking In of the Zephyrs,"[citation needed] which fairly accurately represents the way in which Egyptians celebrate the holiday.
In his book, Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians, Edward William Lane wrote in 1834:
A custom termed 'Shemm en-Nessem' (or the Smelling of the Zephyr) is observed on the first day of the Khamaseen. Early in the morning of this day, many persons, especially women, break an onion, and smell it; and in the course of the forenoon many of the citizens of Cairo ride or walk a little way into the country, or go in boats, generally northward, to take the air, or, as they term it, smell the air, which on that day they believe to have a wonderfully beneficial effect. The greater number dine in the country or on the river. This year they were treated with a violent hot wind, accompanied by clouds of dust, instead of the neseem; but considerable numbers, notwithstanding, went out to'smell' it.
The modern Sham ennisim is celebrated by both Christians and Muslims, so it is considered a national festival, rather than a religious one. The main features of the festival are:

This international research project, based on the work of a consortium of five European countries led by the University of Salford in the area of Enterprise Cultural Heritage (ECH), (the term describing an organisation's history and its creations that have the potential to uniquely innovate and differentiate their products and services), demonstrates the following impact:
- Developing and integrating the ECH training concept in Change Management, Brand Management, Heritage Management and Intellectual Property Rights training material in five languages;
- Developing online training material under Creative Commons Attribution License for free use and re-distribution available through social media such as SlideShare and Wikipedia, accessed c.30,000 times.
Helping businesses use their heritage to increase their market share
Salford Business School has, over several years, applied research to helping SMEs become more competitive by leveraging their unique capabilities and specialities, for example in the Quality and innovation in vocational training for Enterprise Cultural Heritage Management project, which was led by Dr Aleksej Heinze. Fundamental understanding of the theoretical concept of Enterprise Cultural Heritage has transformed the commercial viability of European SMEs by unlocking their heritage. Translation into Italian, Czech, Greek and Finnish facilitates its use throughout Europe:
- Enterprise Cultural Heritage (ECH) is a complex combination of a company's own history and creations that can transform information and materials into extended products and services. Effective ECH management can increase creativity in production and knowledge management skills, boosting the productivity of those SMEs with a rich history. The training material created by the project helps SMEs to identify and exploit the economic added value of their cultural heritage. ECH as a topic is entirely novel in the area of vocational training. The research closes the gap to open accessible knowledge by making free training material that integrates examples of good ECH management available to all companies with an internet connection.
- ECH management enhances the competitiveness of SMEs. The project focused on mature (40+ years of trading) SMEs in craft sectors (food, textiles, ceramics and jewellery). During the project it was soon evident that other sectors can benefit as long as they have ECH.
- The international consortium from 5 countries (Czech Republic, Greece, Finland, Italy and UK), spanning the geopolitical regions of EU (South, West, Scandinavia, post-socialist areas) and industry and academia, contributed complementary specialist skills in research, training material development, validation, linkage with SMEs and Information Communication Technology (ICT) competences. A key aim has been to produce outputs relevant to SMEs. This combination of competencies and perspectives has transformed a series of ECH case studies into a rich resource of commercial training materials used worldwide.
- SMEs that have traditionally operated without access to specialised training to promote higher performance have been given access through an open web community to innovative new training that opens pathways for new practices; over thirty thousand individuals have accessed the training material.
- Entrepreneurs have recognised and managed the strategic value of ECH by developing new skills based on the creative use of heritage knowledge and by developing and integrating complementary technical and marketing competences: "The training material gives a great opportunity to many organisations to exploit their cultural heritage instead of "throwing it away" in the name of modernisation" (SME partner).
- ECH has obtained affiliation to the Natural Europe project to foster training on traditional ways of farming and "environment-friendly" practices in specific agriculture sectors. The training material developed will support environmental education and has also obtained affiliation to the ARIADNE Foundation and is now expanding worldwide through a network of institutions and projects.
- Passport to Trade 2.0, an ECH spin-off, engages business culture business culture in the use of social media and extends our worldwide impact of innovation in SMEs.

An Insertion Algorithm for a Minimal Internal Path Length Binary Search Tree
1. INTRODUCTION Methods that maintain balance in binary search trees have received considerable attention in computer science literature. Since a binary search tree that grows in a random manner will have, on the average, an expected search path lenght of approximately 1.386 log.sub.2.n, we can expect an improvement in excess of 25 percent in the search path length if the tree can be kept to a minimum height. The cost of maintaining a tree to achieve optimal or near optimal search performance can be justified if searching is the predominant activity in the tree, with insertions of new keys into the tree being a relatively infrequent activity. The algorithmic strategies that have previously been used to introduce and maintain balance in binary search trees have been either local or global rebalancing strategies.
In the local strategies, a reasonable notion of balance is introduced and the binary tree insertion algorithm is modified to detect a deviation from balance during an insertion and to restore the tree to balance by performing sequences of subtree rotations. The most popular local balancing strategies have been those for AVL, or height balanced, trees and for bounded balance (BB), or weight balanced trees. A recent algorithm performs subtree rotations whenever the total internal path length of the tree is reduced.
The global balancing algorithms inspect all of the nodes in a tree in order to reconstruct a balanced tree. The global strategies produce either a perfectly balanced tree [2, 3, 9] or a route balanced tree [4, 11] (i.e., a tree with minimal internal path length). Several global tree balancing algorithms are discussed in, including two that adopt parallel procedures.
We introduce a balancing algorithm for binary search trees whose overall performance in terms of the trees produced and the run-time behavior of the algorithm, is between that of the local and global balancing algorithms. The trees produced by this algorithm have minimal internal path length and are balanced with respect to both the number of complete levels and the number of levels in the two subtrees of each node in a tree. In the worst case, this algorithm requires time that is linear in the number of nodes in the tree (i.e., becomes global, in a sense); the worst-case behavior occurs only as the tree comes close to actually being a complete tree. Rather than performing subtree rotations as the local balancing algorithms do, or detachning and reattaching nodes as the global algorithms do, this algorithm maintains its notion of balance by moving key values within the existing tree; if an insertion would introduce imbalance, then keys are …

Flexible Summarization
Jean-Francois Delannoy, Ken Barker, Terry Copeck, Martin Laplante, Stan Matwin and Stan Szpakowicz
Our project, initiated in 1997, approaches text summarization as a knowledge-scant task of passage selection. Several features make this task more discriminating. These features include "smart" key phrase selection that uses machine learning techniques and simple linguistic criteria; dynamic passage selection; adaptation to the type of text; and choice among several styles of summary. This paper presents the guiding principles of the project, describes the current state of the prototype, and discusses short-term and long-term future research.

But what exactly is 'Flaming'? According to Urban Dictionary, it involves posting emotive, negative messages to provoke an angry or enraged response on social networking sites. Slovenian and British researchers say it will result in your posts receiving a much higher response rate.
The New Scientist reports that the research used "sentiment analysis" to identify emotional content on posts left on the BBC's online forums and with Digg.com. By running algorithms that looked for emoticons, emotional keywords and misspellings, the researchers calculated happiness scores for the posts and found that those with a lower score tended to participate in longer conversations. So if you are the kind of social networker who wants to generate more interest and followers, you're better off writing negative comments than saying 'I love this!'
It is typical of human nature to create social groups out of negative feelings, for example often hash tags like _TAG_ are more successful in trending on Twitter than _TAG_.
At least we're pretty sure that's the reason _TAG_ isn't doing so well.

Crest factor is the ratio of the instantaneous peak amplitude of a waveform, to its root mean square RMS value. The peak amplitude refers to the instantaneous peak current that may be required by a load, whereas the RMS is the average load current under normal conditions.
The crest factor specifies the properties of an electrical system such as the purity of a signal or waveform, and the capability of a system such as a power supply to output a particular current or voltage.
The ratio is also referred to as peak-to-RMS ratio is given by:
Crest Factor (peak-to-RMS ratio) = (peak value)/(RMS value).
The crest factor indicates the extreme peaks of a waveform. For a purely DC system with a resistive load, the value should be 1:1 which is also the minimum. A sinusoidal AC waveform with a resistive load has a CF of 1.414. However, the waveform may be distorted when supplying reactive loads with no power factor correction.
Some IT equipment and other loads with power factor corrected supplies have a crest factor of about 1.414, whereas those with no correction such as stackable hubs and personal computers have factors of 2 or 3.
For applications requiring a pure sine wave, the supply is desired to have a crest factor of 1.414 or the closest possible. Distortions caused by interactions between supply and the load may affect the relationship between the peak and RMS values and result into a higher value.
The crest factor of a computer load depends on the power source feeding it and may vary from one ac receptacle to another. It is important to note that the crest factor arises due to the interaction between the AC source and the load and that the crest factor required by the load will depend on the AC supply waveform.
Crest factor of a source shows the possible and safe output peak currents it can handle above rated current. Since the supplies can provide higher outputs, they should also have fail safe circuits that should shut down and cut off power in case the load continues to draw more of this high current.
The source must be capable of supplying the peak current desired by the load; otherwise the source voltage becomes distorted by the excess peak current. Most power sources manufacturers usually provide the crest factor, or peak repetitive current data, to help consumers or designers match their loads to the suitable sources.

NASA Ames Scientists to Preview Upcoming Space Station Experiments
MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. -- Engineers and project scientists at NASA's Ames Research Center are prepping their experiments and payloads for the upcoming International Space Station Expedition 32 and 33 missions. Experts supporting experiments to study fundamental space biology, human-robotic interaction and cubesats, will be available for interviews Tuesday, March 20, 2012. This availability follows two briefings to preview the missions from NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, that will be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency's website.
The Micro-6 project will investigate the response of the C. albicans fungus to simulated microgravity to predict the potential health risk posed by this opportunistic pathogen in the spaceflight environment. Future Micro-6 experiments will study the way a variety of biological species respond to gravity.
The space station currently houses three volleyball-sized free-flying satellites called Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) equipped with a Nexus™ S handset made by Samsung Electronics and powered by Google's Android™ platform. The Intelligent Robotics Group at Ames will remotely control the SPHERES from the Mission Control Center at Johnson to simulate a mobile inspection of the station and test how well SPHERES can move around and collect data using the smart phone's camera and sensors.
The TechEdSat is a collaboration between Ames, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and San Jose State University, and will be the first mission to launch a cubesat into orbit from the space station.
The Ames researchers available for interviews include:
- Craig Burkhard, Micro-6 project advisor
- Terry Fong, director of the Intelligent Robotics Group at Ames
- Andres Martinez, program manager, Small Spacecraft Payloads and Technologies

Course Number: NT507
Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas
The book of Acts is the intended sequel to the gospel of Luke, showing how the new community of faith applied Christ's teachings to life and how they proclaimed His message throughout the world. In this course, students complete an exegetical study of the book of Acts by focusing on the biblical theology of the book, the historical background of events, and the theological emphasis of the speeches. The goal of the course is to enable learners to articulate the message of Acts in ways that are both textually accurate and contemporaneously relevant.
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Trace the argument of Acts through its narrative units.
- Interpret any specific narrative material found in Acts and identify its key theological themes.
- Determine with appropriate support the background of any narrative account that contributes to the setting and argument of a text.
- Communicate the message of a passage that is accurate to the text and relevant to a contemporary audience.


Forced abortion in North Korea
From Conservapedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Forced abortion in North Korea is common.
A report published in British newspaper The Times set forth how an explanation provided by a diplomat from the West, who had visited North Korea 19 times:
It's vital to recognize that 'juche' -- the dogma of self-reliance -- is not a theory but a cult and that [the dictator of North Korea named] Kim is worshipped as the leader of a religion. These Koreans genuinely believe they are a master race and that the peninsula will be united under the rule of the Kim dynasty.
The Times further explained:
Behind the facade of a Supreme People's Assembly, a presidium, a cabinet and the Korean Workers' Party, North Korea operates as a one-man military dictatorship founded on clan rule, blood ties and deification of the leader. Kim is falsely said to have been born on the sacred slopes of Mount Paektu. This is used to legitimize behavior by agents of the state which human rights activists believe will one day form the basis of indictments for crimes against humanity.
These "crimes against humanity" include racially motivated abortion and infanticide, particularly when the unborn or afterborn child has a parent with an ethnicity other than Korean.
About 200,000 North Koreans are imprisoned, and the women of childbearing age are repeatedly asked if they are pregnant. If so, then they are given injections to cause abortions. If the injections do not work or a women gives birth without the pregnancy being detected, then the women are required to kill their own infants.
A human rights investigator for the United States Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, David Hawk, called North Korean's practice "ethnic infanticide," in a report on 2003 based on testimony from eight women who had observed or been subjected to it.

Apart from different programming languages, the cold fusion language is widely popular in terms of less code and with the existence of excellent debugging options etc. This is the reason why the demand of coldfusion developers requirement is more now a day's. Actually there is an Adobe cold fusion is a web application was introduced by J.J. Alliare. Formerly this cold fusion is utilized popularly with a rapid web application development platform developed by this founder only.
Features of cold fusion:
It is very easy and simple language to understand and you can write a code easily in a simple format compared to other programming languages. It accesses the database in a simple format. This language has a strong feature converting HTML language to PDF language.
Elements of CFML (cold fusion markup language):
It is categorized in different elements. There are number of coldfusion developers compared to other programming developers are also due to its excellent features existence.
Let's focus below;
- It consists of low learning curve. It is easier to learn and understandable language. It consists of fee applications and for the purpose coding associated tools are also helpful for coding. There is a feature named CF Eclipse in which it has advanced IDE for handling this cold fusion.
- This language is utmost helpful in order to create flash and flex. Being a scripting language it has various numbers of options available in this language. Compared to other programming languages, debugging is simple as it contains very less code to program.
- Some of the other elements featured are manipulating of images and PDF's, besides this it is also helpful in creating PDF generation as well.
- It also consists of extraordinary debugging options as well. Finally this language is featured with different elements and features, but its main motive is to build up extraordinary web applications. Moreover mostly many of the people are using this language as a form of command line language too.
- It is easier and simple language. You can even compile and execute it easily as well when compared to other existing languages.
- Being framed like a scripted language, it is quite familiar like a java script language only. Its way of coding is as familiar to other coders too. But instantly it may also lose the track of reading syntax which is even easier to read.
- This programming language has a direct association when it comes to working with java. If this association is not possible, you may do integration with java simultaneously. This is an added feature with this language.
- Being a scripted language, it acts as a primary language which also works with HTML language directly as well.
It is very expensive in cost compared to other programming languages which have wider hosting support. At previous times, this cold fusion is not much popular comparatively with hardcore coders.
This cold fusion has become popular when the internet existence (web) introduced into the world. When we come across security point of view, in order to safeguard websites, this cold fusion utilization is widely popular and attains fame as the best reputed web application development software. The main advantage of this programming language is building up and maintaining a web code in a faster approach.

painter; draftsman
Add to Getty Bookmarks
Cornelis van Poelenburgh was a founder of Dutch Italianate landscape painting. He studied under the Utrecht Mannerist Abraham Bloemaert, but his years in Rome, from 1617 to 1625, were more decisive for his development. An early member of the schildersbent, the club for Rome's Netherlandish painters, he was nicknamed "Satyr." In Rome, a friend noted that Poelenburgh "exerted himself to the utmost to paint his figures in the manner of Raphael." Poelenburgh also copied German artist Adam Elsheimer's Italianate landscapes, which were usually painted on copper. In addition to his years in Rome, Poelenburgh spent time in Florence working for the grand duke of Tuscany. After returning from Italy, he became one of Utrecht's leading artists, honored as Peter Paul Rubens's guide during his 1627 visit to the city. At the king's invitation, Poelenburgh worked in England from 1638 to 1641. He probably remained in Utrecht from that point onward.
Poelenburgh painted some history paintings, but his fame rests on the enamel-smooth landscapes, often depicting romantic ruins and statuary fragments, that he created after 1620. He was among the first artists to render Italian sunlight and atmosphere convincingly. His highly detailed figures were so admired that he was hired to paint them in other artists' works. The careers of Poelenburgh's many followers stretched into the 1700s.

text: AKBARPUR KHUDAL, village 6 km northeast of Bareta (29Ã‚Â°52'N. 75Ã‚Â°42'E), in Mansa district of the Punjab, is sacred to Guru Gobind Singh, who came here in November 1706 to rescue a Sikh from captivity. According to Giani Gian Singh, Twaiikh Guru Khalsa, Gulab Singh, a goldsmith of Akbarpur Khudal, had been imprisoned by the village chief in a basement of his house on a false charge. The news of the Sikh in distress reached Guru Gobind Singh while he was at Sirsa, 80 km away, as the crow flies, already on his way to the South. But he turned his footsteps immediately with five of his Sikhs and, reaching Khudal by a forced march, rescued Gulab Singh and instructed the chief, Nabi Bakhsh, in the path of virtue and justice. Guru Gobind Singh then returned to Sirsa. A gurdwara was later established outside the village. The Maharaja of Patiala endowed it with 50 acres of land. The house of the chief inside the village was acquired after Independence, and Gurdwara Bhora Sahib Patshahi 10 was constructed on the site in February 1951 by a Sikh landlord of the area, Harchand Singh Jeji, who also made an endowment. The Gurdwara, handed over to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in 1977, has a domed sanctum, within a hall, on the first floor. The bhora or underground cell, in which Gulab Singh is believed to have been kept, is a small square cellar in the basement.

Update - Using AWS Organizations to Secure Your Cloud Accounts
AWS Organizations was designed to allow cloud administrators working in Amazon Web Services (AWS) to manage accounts more securely and efficiently. Essentially, AWS Organizations creates custom policies that can be applied to users/groups to manage security, create better automation and simplify billing. There is some overlap with AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) services, but it is more complementary, and it builds off of the IAM policies already in place.
AWS Organizations allows the management of accounts under a new entity. This entity is built into a hierarchy, and the policies and organizational units can be built within each other for management. I couldn't help but think of Microsoft's Active Directory when looking at it the first time, but that goes for anything with organizational units (OU) and hierarchy. Each particular OU can have policy applied to it, and the user/group will inherit the policy of the OU in which they reside. This also means that each user/group can only be in one OU at a time, but can have multiple policies applied to it since the OUs can be nested. The groups can be created by region, user, group or other elements.
With both AWS IAM and AWS Organizations, there can be a little overlap, but you can think of Organizations as a way of containing the rights of users. The IAM policies can still be created and even pushed through Organizations, but it's the guardrail to determine least privilege. If users go against these policies, it's possible to contain or restrict them with blacklist or whitelist policies. This helps to keep the permissions and security of users to what's deemed necessary by hierarchical policy enforcement. AWS Organizations is the framework that IAM policies can use to tighten security. Read the rest of my article at the link below:

child clothings & shoes
Only a generation ago, it was thought that children learning to walk needed stiff hard soled shoes to support their ankles and arches.
However, research since then has shown that the feet of young children are soft and pliable, and that their arches are plenty strong to support their weight. As such, pressure from the wrong kind of shoe can harm the natural development of their feet.
Pediatricians now recommend that children up to two years of age go barefoot. However, it's not always practical for kids to go bare-foot. The solution for that are lightweight, soft soled, flexible shoes which are breathable and allow the child's feet to grow naturally. Soft soled shoes also let children feel the texture of the ground under their feet, helping to develop their sense of balance.

Description: This Course is going to explore the secret world of Chinese master carpenters who have created one of the most sophisticated timber structure systems in the world. We are going to analyze Chinese architecture from a carpenter\'s point of view. By understanding the traditional carpenter\'s design method and construction logic, we could unravel the mystery of these complex timber structures.
Besides that, we will get a direct experience of Chinese carpentry by operating on models of traditional joints and brackets (prepared by the instructor). And some Chinese traditional carpentry tools will be exhibited and demonstrated in class. Furthermore a set of documentaries made by the instructor in southern China will be presented in the class to show how traditional carpenters think, draw, work and live.
(The introduction part has been posted on Youtube: _URL_
Finally, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses in this system and what it offers to contemporary designers.
The topics of this course will include:
1.) a brief history of Chinese traditional architecture
2.) wood and its culture in China
3.) a master carpenter\'s tools and design method
4.) hierarchy and logic of a Chinese timber structure
5.) construction method of a Chinese timber structure
6.) wood joints and brackets system
7.) curved roof and its construction
8.) reading and rethinking Yinzao Fashi《營造法式》 (an ancient technical treatise on architecture and craftsmanship by Lijie (A.D.1065–1110))
9.) case study: Foguang Si Templ, Shanxi Province, China五台山佛光寺大殿(built in 857 AD)

An special technique, developed by Ajax Equipment, uses a multiple stage insert system to overcome bunker flow problems, creating a more favourable approach to existing outlets and spreading the flow to previously "dead" storage areas of the bunker. The insert system has been used at Tata Steel Europe at its plant in Scunthorpe, UK, to overcome coal bunker flow problems.
Many power generation and industrial processes rely on storing coal in large bunkers. Over time changes in the type and quality of coal can lead to poor flow during discharge, causing processing delays and significantly reducing the bunker's storage capacity. Manual intervention is frequently used to promote flow; however, this is a hazardous process for operators, and fails to provide a long-term solution to the problem.
An innovative technique developed by solids handling equipment specialist, Ajax Equipment, uses a multiple stage insert system to overcome bunker flow problems, creating a more favourable approach to existing outlets and spreading the flow to previously 'dead' storage areas of the bunker. The insert system has been used at Tata Steel Europe (formerly Corus Long Products) – a manufacturer of steel products at its plant in Scunthorpe, UK, to overcome coal bunker flow problems.
In the ironmaking process, molten iron is produced in a blast furnace using agglomerated iron ore, limestone and coke. The coke is produced in large coke ovens from coal with special properties. Coal is crushed and blended on the Scunthorpe site and transported to Appleby Coke Ovens via a series of belt conveyors. It is then is stored in a large concrete service bunker which is sited above, and in the centre of, the oven batteries.
The concrete service bunker (Fig. 1) was built in 1937 and is divided into two rectangular sections, one section holding 3000 tonnes of coal and the other holding 1000 tonnes of coal. It is about 17.5 metres tall and the 1000 tonnes section is 8 metres × 13 metres, whilst the 3000-tonne section is 20 metres × 13 metres. Coal is fed into the top of the bunker where it is distributed to one of the two sections and stored ready for discharge under gravity. Coal is discharged via a number of rows of outlets at the base of the bunkers into the charge cars.
In 1968 half of the outlets were blanked off and lightweight concrete was used to build up a steeper approach to the remaining outlets with smooth glass tiles laid on top to encourage flow. The outlets are arranged in five rows of four outlets on the 3000-tonne side and two rows of four outlets on the 1000-tonne section. Each row of four outlets operates together to fill a charge car which feeds the oven. Each outlet has a 640-millimetre diameter steel throat cast into the concrete. Slide gates are fitted to each outlet and the charge cars are filled with 17.5 tonnes of coal in, hopefully, one minute.
The bunker was originally designed to store local Lincolnshire and Yorkshire coal, but today it holds blended imported coal from around the world. A typical blend may consist of 60 percent Australian Coal and 40 percent North American. It is the particularly cohesive properties of the imported coal that has exacerbated the bunker's flow problems, making the material more difficult to handle.

2017 PEDESTRIAN MODELLING & VISUALISATION SHOWCASE
DATE: 2017 | CLIENT: Internal
- High quality 3D rendered video
- High quality 3D rendered still images
- Utilising VISWALK for more dynamic pedestrian movements
- Advanced linking between VISSIM/VISWALK and 3D Studio Max
- Specially developed pedestrian models and animation
As part of the ongoing in house development programme, Multimodal built detailed 3D models based around three areas which had been previously modelled for traffic or pedestrian studies. These areas were:
- London Victoria station
- A London-based international sports stadium
- London Bridge
The original VISSIM models had to be thoroughly prepared by inputting VISWALK elements such as pedestrian areas, routes and obstacles.
There was also a need to develop and update the library of 3D models used for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, which meant remodelling all of the motion capture for animation and developing a new VISSIM and VISWALK library of objects based on these new models, allowing full linking between VISSIM and the 3D modelling and rendering package used.
Once this was achieved and fully calibrated, all network elements and animation were exported from VISSIM/VISWALK, and bought into the 3D modelling package, where simple geometry and transport models were replaced with detailed models to allow a more photo-real output.

Young People's Ofrenda: Expressions of Life and Remembrance
at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, November 1 through December 4, 2011
Katherine Kierland Herberger Gallery (110); free.
This deeply personal, moving exhibition of student work is the result of a unique partnership between the MIA and Austin High School (Greater Minnesota), Thomas Edison High School (Minneapolis), El Colegio High School (Minneapolis), and Humboldt Secondary School (St. Paul). The students explore world cultures' reverence for ancestors in art and Day of the Dead traditions in Mexico in the classroom and the museum. They draw inspiration from these and other experiences to create personal ofrendas(offerings) – altars or shrines to honor friends, family, or community members who have passed away. Interact with the project online as it unfolds in the classroom beginning in early September. A selection of student ofrendas from each school is on view the museum November 1 through December 4.
Students use wooden crates to symbolize the migrant population that came to Minnesota to work in the fields. Each ofrenda reflects the student's own experience. In inviting students from diverse communities to learn about and create their own ofrendas, we acknowledge that the Day of the Dead is a very personal, spiritual tradition. It is important to us that we not ask students to imitate or make Mexican ofrendas. Rather, we envision students paying tribute to this rich cultural tradition by creating their own personal and contemporary ofrendas—in the spirit of the Mexican tradition.
This project Web site and blog follows the students' progress in creating their ofrendas. Here we present the videos they have made, in which they relate their perspectives and insights as they honor their ancestors. Their final ofrendas and videos will be on view in an exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts between November 1 and December 4, 2011.
The Video Project
The handheld video cameras have been acquired for this project, with the support of Best Buy, so the participating students can record their thoughts and perspectives as they create their ofrendas. Their videos are edited and presented here. During this three-week process, students focus on weekly topics.
Phase 1: Honor Ancestors—Students explore how artists around the world have expressed reverence for ancestors in artwork and the importance of Day of the Dead in Mexican culture. They explore ideas and concepts for their ofrendas and choose a subject. The subject can be personal, such as a tribute to a relative or friend, or it can address traditional themes.
Phase 2: Turn Ideas into Image—The students visit the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and tour international artworks from the permanent collection that illustrate reverence for ancestors and attitudes about death. They learn how artists have successfully translated ideas into images as they continue to conceptualize their personal ofrendas.
Phase 3: Create a Personal Ofrenda—In this phase, students start to decorate their ofrendas, using materials they have collected during the first two weeks. Some students may make personal drawings, while others may create small, ceramic sculptures, or use personal items such as photos or other mementos.
Phase 4: Write an Artist's Statement—With their ofrendas near completion, students write narratives about their ofrendas, which are used as the label texts for the exhibition, printed in both Spanish and English.
Phase 5: Exhibit Ofrendas—Each partner school sends a selection of ofrendas to the museum for exhibition in Gallery 110. Student artists and their families attend an opening reception in their honor at the museum. Schools are encouraged to exhibit a selection of ofrendas in their school gallery, district office, media center, or other venue.
The Teacher's Guide
We have Spanish and English versions of the Teacher's Guide as a downloadable pdf (new this year).
Day of the Dead
Day of the Dead (in Spanish, Día de los Muertos) is celebrated November first and second each year. Probably based on an ancient Aztec festival, Day of the Dead is a celebration in which family and friends gather to honor those who have died. The departed souls are believed to return to visit their living relatives on this holiday. The celebrants create ofrendas, or offerings, for the deceased, which contain favorite foods, mementos, pictures, and flowers. They can also recount amusing family stories or anecdotes. These offerings are meant to welcome the souls so they can communicate with their living relatives and friends. Images of skulls and skeletons are seen during the festival and in the ofrendas, demonstrating that death is a natural part of the life cycle. Día de los Muertos is primarily celebrated by people of Mexican heritage living in Mexico and throughout the world. In the United States, many cities with Mexican-American populations celebrate this tradition in the weeks before and after November first and second.

Ses Taules Gateway
The main entrance to the walled enclosure of Ibiza
It is the main entrance to the walled enclosure of the old town of Ibiza. It is situated between the bastions of Sant Joan and Santa Llúcia, and was built between 1584 and 1585. In 1888, the moat in front of the doorway was crossed by slats of wood, which were later replaced by a drawbridge and, in the early 20th century, by a permanent bridge. The gateway is crowned by the imperial coat of arms and crown. On both sides of the gateway there are replicas of the original statues, which are kept in the Archaeological Museum.

What is in a presentation?
Whether your client is someone buying a home to live in, or someone buying a home to sell, a presentation that can convey a lot of words on a single look is sure to make them say yes. As an architect, a presentation to the client can make or break you chance to get the project, so you might as well equip your presentation with enough advantages to make it hard to say no to. A presentation usually consists of the following:
- Schemes - schemes are just sketches of the architect before coming up with the final design for the house. It contains the evolution of the design, how it came to be like the final design.
- Floor Plans - these are the top view of the whole space in 2d, you can see the partitions that divide the rooms, and you can see the size of every room and sometimes even the floor finish of every space.
- Elevations - In this stage, the outer look of the house is presented, but in 2D. You will be able to see how the house will look like in front, at the back, and at both sides.
- Perspectives - This is where the real battle comes in, this usually comes as a rendered photorealistic presentation of the whole house with a realistic background where the client can really "see" what the outcome of the house will be.
What can I do to have an edge?
Since both Floor Plans and Elevations are usually done in 2D, to have an edge against other competitors, you can opt to present your plans and elevations in 3D. 3D Floor Plans and 3D Elevations is a big plus when it comes to presenting a project. Would you rather have your client appreciate and understand the project only when the perspective is shown? Of course not, it helps to keep the client's attention all throughout the presentation. If from the beginning of the presentation their attention is acquired and kept, there is a huge chance that they will say yes.
3D Floor Plans and 3D Elevations
3D Floor Plans and 3D Elevations are just like the traditional 2D floor plan and elevation, the only difference is, some of the points are extruded to make it seem alive, and then the rendering comes in, 3D Plans and 3D Elevations are also rendered just like the perspectives. Presenting with 3D materials can really do wonders to your project.

Thrombopathia Newfoundland Type
Thrombopathia Newfoundland type is an inherited blood clotting disorder affecting Newfoundland dog breed. The disorder is characterized by blood clotting malfunction, and as such causes increased bleeding. Until now, thrombopathia has been reported among three dog breeds: Basset, Newfoundland and American Eskimo dog, and they differ among each other by three distinct causative disorders.
Platelets are also known as thrombocytes, and they have a key role in bleeding prevention through clumping of blood vessel injuries. At a site of vascular injury, platelets are exposed to surface which is not from blood vessel, and they initiate to aggregate to each other, which results in formation of a hemostatic plug that will seal the defect. Key role in platelet aggregation has the platelet integrin alphaIIb-beta3, also known as the platelet glycoprotein complex IIb-IIIa. This platelet integrin has high affinity for fibrin, which in the formation of the blood clot has a role as its stabilizer. In inactivated platelets, the integrin is in its form that has low affinity for the fibrin, disabling formation of the blood clot. Agents that can induce affinity of the integrin for fibrinogen are ADP, collagen, thromboxane, and thrombin. Unfortunately, in case of thrombopathia, these agents do not have an effect on improved platelet aggregation.
Characteristics and Symptoms
Thrombopathia Newfoundland Type is an inherent platelet defects type hemorrhagia. Another type of hemorrhagia, or excessive bleeding is extrinsic type, caused due to external factors. Affected dogs platelets are defective and are unable to form blood clot. The defect in the platelets of the Landseer dogs is suspected to be related to a structural or functional deficiency glycoprotein complex IIb-IIIa, similar as has been reported in humans with Glanzmann's disease and Bernard-Soulier syndrome, human bleeding disorders.
Symptoms of canine thrombopathia are spontaneous bleeding. Bleeding occurs as nose bleeding, also known as epistaxis, and from other mucosal surfaces, such as mouth, gums, etc. Excessive bleeding inside the mouth may be especially present during change of puppy teeth with permanent teeth. Platelet number, von Willebrand factor, clot retraction and coagulation are normal, whereas bleeding time is prolonged.
Thrombopathia Newfoundland type is caused by a point mutation in the RASGRP1 gene that causes a shift in the reading frame responsible for expression of the Rap 1 protein. This shift in the reading frame causes a truncated protein. In healthy dog, Rap 1 protein is highly expressed in platelets, but also in neutrophils and in the brain. In platelets variant of Rap 1, protein Rap1b is present in high levels and it has a role in integrin activation. In case of mutation in the RASGRP1 gene, defected protein will not be able to induce integrin activation, which causes improper platelet aggregation and blood clotting.
The disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Healthy parents of an affected puppy are obligate heterozygotes, and therefore carry one mutant allele. Heterozygotes have no symptoms. Dogs homozygous for the mutation will display the symptoms of the Thrombopathia Landseer type. At conception, each cub has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier.

Is Olive Oil Bad for Septic Tanks?

A septic system runs on a fairly simple mechanism: the pipe carries the waste from the home to the septic tank and leach field. Properly maintaining and monitoring your home septic system is essential. Although most septic tank owners steer away from disposing of items such as facial tissues down the drain, other products can also lead to a septic backup. For example, coconut oil and septic systems don't mix well; the coconut oil can wreak havoc on your septic.

Pouring Olive Oil Down the Drain
If the organic oils found in washing detergents do not harm the septic system, the same cannot be said about olive oil. Just like all cooking oils, olive oil can solidify and clog your drains once you allow it to go down the kitchen sink. You can properly dispose of grease and oil by letting them solidify first, then throwing them in the garbage. Allowing your pipes to be clogged with fat can easily result in a sewage backup problem. Instead, collect the olive oil grease in a container or clean your pans with a paper towel and throw it in the trash.
Prevent Clogs From Coconut Oil
Due to easily hardening inside the pipes and the septic tank, coconut oil can also clog your drains. If you use coconut oil to cook, make sure to never put excess coconut oil down the drain. If coconut oil is a must in your home, there is a safe way to dispose of the oil. If you use coconut oil to saute some food, wait until the excess oil cools down in a pan and then grab a paper towel to wipe out as much as you can before washing the pan.
Flushing Coffee Grounds Into Septic
Once the coffee grounds make their way down the sink and into your septic drain system, they will eventually start to build up, as well as stick to other waste within the septic system. Putting coffee grounds in the garbage disposal is also not a good idea since they can accumulate at the bottom of the pipes, where they eventually dry out and develop a crust, causing them to stay put.
There are a couple of better ways to dispose of coffee grounds. If you have a garden, your plants can benefit from the coffee grounds. All you have to do is sprinkle the coffee grounds around in the garden, and they will repel ants and other insects. An additional way is to store the used coffee grounds in a container and place it in the fridge and it will absorb odors.

text: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have difficulties with communication and reciprocal social interaction skills (for example difficulties in being able to have a friend or engaging in interactive conversations). In her previous research, Professor Cassell developed a technology called 'Virtual Peers' - life-size 3D animated characters that look like children and are capable of interacting, sharing real toys, and responding to children's input. For typically developing children, Professor Cassell showed that 'Virtual Peers' can help increase children's emerging literacy and social behaviors and real life social interactions. So under Professor Cassell's guidance, Dr Leventhal plans to design and evaluate a computer system that allows children with ASD to interact with a life-size 'Authorable Virtual Peer'. This computer system will test children with ASD to determine whether engaging them on narrative task with a 'virtual partner' (whom they themselves can program) can, for example, help practice taking turns, and whether the children through creating and controlling how the virtual peer communicates, will develop a better understanding of putting together their own communications and reciprocal social interactions. What this means to individuals with autism: The study may provide important information about the underlying mechanisms of communication and social reciprocity in ASD and provide an innovative intervention.

Visit producers in Uda: Indigo Japan blue and Medicinal Plant Expedition
After visiting a traditional indigo dyeing atelier, which inherits 150 years old indigo vase, we explored edible forests. Uda city is a historical land, where wild medicinal plant has been conducted, since ancient Yamato dynasty in 7th century.
Wild medicinal plants master taught us how to distinguish porcelain berry (or wild grape, scientific name: Ampelopsis glandulosa) and ornamental grape vine (scientific name: Vitis coignetiae), how to make yakushu, alcoholic beverage for medicinal purposes by using natural resources such as Linden arrowwood (gamazumi in Japanese, scientific name: Viburnum dilatatum), silver vine, cat powder, matatabi in Japanese (Scientific name: Actinidia polygama), deodeok or lance asiabell (Tsuruninjin in Japanese, Scientific name: Codonopsis lanceolata), and so on.
Pick and eat, eat and learn, by using five senses, we learnt traditional knowledge of ancient people on living in co-existent with nature.
only use mountain water for 150 years in kasama indigo atelier
"When father-in-low went hospital, I thought someone has to learn how to take care of 150 years indigo vase. My husband is a business person, and only I could do that for the time being. This is how I started to learn, and got deep into this world."
Said the 4th generation of Kasama indigo dyeing atelier, Ms Kayo.
In the village of Kasama, there are households earning their livelihoods by dyeing, blacksmith, farming... Nowadays, this knowledge is gradually disappearing. Dyeing workshop and black smith are also last one craftsman.
Ms. Kayo, still has hope to keep the lifestyle living with indigo as it is.
Aizome experience 1,500yen (reservation required)
walk and eat: medicinal plant hunting in the forest.
After lunch, expedition for edible forests.
Walking and picking wild plants.
Gamazumi (Linden arrowwood), good for making yakushu, medicinal liquor.
 silver vine, matatabi, is also good for medicinal liquor
What is the taste like?
It is very spicy!! Can you believe?
In Korea, it seems deodeok or lance asiabell is edible in raw, just dipped into honey.
It smells like soil, but the taste is mild, not bitter, not spicy. It is okay to eat as salad by raw.
flower of deodeok
Japanese snake gourd (Karasuuri in Japanese, Scientific name: Trichosanthes cucumeroides). The seeds can be used as a talisman for good fortune, and also edible after baking. It could be indeed good luck in case of emergency, when kept into wallet.
Wild kiwi, or baby kiwi (sarunashi in Japanese, scientific name: Actinidia arguta) is indeed little kiwi, when tasted. It is also good for making liquor.
 Wild grape.
This is similar, but not edible, just beautiful.
You can go for medicinal plant hunting most of the season. Next workshop will be making kudzu powder form arrow roots, tuber crop.
We also plan to go for foraging and cook medicinal plants in spring.

I'm trying a simple definition of a set.
My try: $M=\{x\,|\,1\le x\le p-2\}$
Is there a more comfortable way of getting a little space before and after the |? I'm thinking of something like the \mod which does the spacing on its own.

The correct command to use is \mid: \{x\mid 1\le x\le p-2\}. Many people add thin spaces (that is, \,) after \{ and before \} when using \mid. – egreg Sep 5 '13 at 8:48
quite like \mod in fact: \mid :-) – David Carlisle Sep 5 '13 at 8:48

The vertical bar is usually produced by using \mid, which prints the same symbol as | (or \vert, which is a synonym).
The difference is that \mid is treated as a relation symbol, so it will have thick spaces on its sides:
$M = \{ x \mid 1 \le x \le p-2 \}$
Many people (including Knuth) recommend adding thin spaces in order to detach the braces when using a condition with \mid:
$M = \{\, x \mid 1 \le x \le p-2 \,\}$
$X = \{1,2,3,4\}
when listing elements. Take your pick. For a small number of set denotations in the document this should not be a problem; but when there are many of them it's better to add a command, in order to ensure uniformity:
 \{\, #1 \mid #2 \, \}%
(the % aren't really necessary in this case) so you can call
$M = \Set{x}{1\le x\le p-2}$
and forget about the details. You'll also have the advantage that, if a fussy copy editor says they want colons and not vertical bars, it will be just a matter of changing \mid into : in the definition of \Set.
In a paper I was fine tuning for publication in a conference proceedings volume, sets were denoted in three different ways: sometimes the separation was with the bar, sometimes with a colon, sometimes with a semicolon. Being consistent in notation is a necessity, not an option.

An interesting option for you may be to load the braket package and use its commands \set and \Set. The lowercase-spelled version, \set, uses fixed-size (small) curly braces and central vertical bars; the uppercase-spelled version lets the "fence" symbols grow automatically with the material they enclose.
You could thus enter an expression such as
$M=\set{x|1\le x\le p-2}$
and let the package do the job of formatting the expression properly.

ILLINOIS: A research team at Northwestern University has developed a prototype of a holographic camera that can see through objects. The new high-resolution camera can capture images through the human body, fog and around corners for vehicles.
The technology is known as synthetic wavelength holography, in which light emits from the camera and scatters on the object. The light then returns to the camera, where an algorithm processes the returned light to form the hidden object's image. The camera can capture images of quick-moving objects, even of a heartbeat and small capillaries.
The research team says that though the technology is in the prototype phase, it has the potential to be used in numerous fields.

How 2 Uncover and Shape Your Value Proposition
Our How 2 Tuesday series returned for the year with an interactive workshop with Professor Andrew Corbett! Professor Corbett is a Professor of Entrepreneurship, Babson Research Scholar and serves as Chair of the Entrepreneurship Division. He joined us to teach Babson entrepreneurs how to uncover and shape the value propositions of their businesses.
Professor Corbett began the session by asking why audience members chose to attend Babson. Responses ranged from the desire to pursue entrepreneurship to wanting to develop a global network. While the college provides the same functions for everyone, many made the decision to invest time and money based on the values they prioritized. Similarly, people will find different reasons to interact with your business. As an entrepreneur, it is important to determine the most important factors that will set your product or service apart.
When starting a venture, be sure to understand three key aspects of your business: your customer segment, value proposition, and revenue generation strategies. Who will you target first, what will you provide, and how will you get money from them? While startups iterate and change over time, be sure to understand the interaction between these essential components and adjust your value proposition as necessary.
Examples of characteristics to consider highlighting in your value proposition include:
Professor Corbett warned that listing every possible benefit that your product can provide runs the risk of overwhelming the audience. Instead, he recommends emphasizing only the one or two distinguishing factors that set you apart. To determine which benefits to highlight, he led the audience through the following activities.
- List every possible benefit your company can deliver.
- Critically analyze your list of benefits and record the three most valuable benefits your company provides to customers.
- Think about your nearest competitor and record the most valuable benefits they provide.
- Write a statement that details why your offering is better than that of your nearest competitor.
- Narrow down your company's one or two resonating points of difference. From working with and interviewing customers, what are one or two points of value that deliver the greatest benefits to your customer?
- Think about what you are offering, who your customer is, why your product is needed, how it works, what value is delivered, when it will pay back, and how it is better than alternatives. While you may not have answers for each of these, include as many as possible to end with a strong statement of compelling reasons that someone should become your customer.
- Create a short paragraph for your target market using the answers above.
The best value propositions provide a resonating focus on the one or two benefits that your customers will value the most. Determining the most important benefits is a distillation process. Start with all the benefits you can describe, narrow them down against competitors, and get even more narrow to describe what customers want and what they will take away. Ask yourself why someone would buy from you and not an alternative. Find unique durable advantages that will excite your target market.
Conveying a powerful value proposition is crucial. Doing so will help customers understand what makes your business special and why they should buy from you. We are thrilled that Professor Corbett could lead this activity to help entrepreneurs begin to uncover their value proposition.

Control of optical polarization is central to harnessing the properties of electromagnetic radiation for many applications, including 3D imaging and quantum computation. However, conventional optical polarizing components are typically bulky and static, that is, fixed in their degree of polarization control. Active metasurfaces have potential for versatile polarization control in a compact form factor by temporally modulating electromagnetic amplitudes and phase between orthogonal electric field components. Here, dynamic control of the polarization state of reflected light from an active metasurface is demonstrated. The metasurface uses indium tin oxide (ITO) as an active element in an array of aluminum nanoantennas operating in the telecom range. Applying an electrical bias between the ITO layer and the back reflector modulates the carrier concentration in ITO at the gate-dielectric/ITO interface, resulting in complex refractive index modulation in the epsilon-near-zero condition. This index modulation alters the degree of excitation of plasmonic modes corresponding to the orthogonal polarization components, leading to polarization modulation. By suitably biasing the metasurface, linearly polarized incident light can be converted to cross-polarized, circularly polarized or elliptically polarized light upon reflection. Dynamic control of the reflected polarization state has potentially wide applications in dynamic wave plates, spatial light modulators, and adaptive wavefront control.

Pedis possessio
Pedis possessio is a legal phrase in common law used to describe walking on a property to establish ownership.
This concept involves the establishment of first possession of land. By walking on a property and defining its bounds, possession is established. Legal dictionaries[1] put forth this definition. Pedis possessio has been described as the actual possession of land within bounds set forth by the need of a mine claimant and operator to improve and work a claim for its mineral value.
Violation of set boundaries are avoided and violence prevented by the establishment of title using the concept of pedis possessio.[2]

The History of Lapland is the first anthropological publication from Oxford University Press. Written by a Swedish professor of law and rhetoric, it describes the beliefs, customs and artefacts of the Sámi people.
The study was commissioned by Sweden's chancellor in response to rumours that Sámi witchcraft was responsible for Gustavus Adolphus's victories in the Thirty Years War. Scheffer's account reflects an interest in Sámi magic by describing the prophesying of shamans and depicting the drums which induced their trance states. The book also contains detailed illustrations of Sámi crafts, modes of travel and sacred sites. However, Scheffer never conducted fieldwork in Lapland himself. Instead, he relied on the testimony of missionaries and public officials.
While Scheffer did not dispute their association with paganism and magic, his portrayal of the Sámi as charitable and peaceful people led to romanticised notions of their culture. This English translation was responsible for stimulating interest in Lapp love songs. Those published by Addison and Steele in the Spectator journal were indebted to Scheffer's translations. Their versions in turn found their ways into the writings of notable poets such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
