Aniridia is an eye disorder characterized by a complete or partial absence of the colored part of the eye (the iris). These iris abnormalities may cause the pupils to be abnormal or misshapen. Aniridia can cause reduction in the sharpness of vision (visual acuity) and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia). Aniridia may occur either as an isolated eye abnormality or as part of the Wilms tumor-aniridia-genital anomalies-retardation (WAGR) syndrome.People with aniridia can also have other eye problems including increased pressure in the eye (glaucoma), clouding of the lens of the eye (cataracts), or underdevelopment of the structures that carry information from the eyes to the brain (optic nerves). Individuals with aniridia may also have involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) or underdevelopment of the region at the back of the eye responsible for sharp central vision (foveal hypoplasia). Many of these eye problems contribute to progressive vision loss in affected individuals. The severity of symptoms is typically the same in both eyes. Rarely, people with aniridia have behavioral problems, developmental delay, and problems detecting odors.
Aniridia may be caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

If $(m, 10) = 1$, choose $b$ so that $10 b \equiv 1 \pmod m$. Then $n \equiv 0 \pmod m$ if and only if $n' + ba_0 \equiv 0 \pmod m$, where $a_0$ is the unit's digit of $n$, and $n'=(n-a_0)/10$. First generalize this and tell me how to extend this theorem to general divisibility tests of other numbers by a single formula or method or procedure.

I suspect that $a_0$ is the last (one's) digit of $n$ and that $n'=(n-a_0)/10$, the number that you get when you erase the last digit of $n$; is that correct? – Brian M. Scott Oct 4 '11 at 7:49

I suppose a generalization would be, if $\gcd(m,r)=1$, choose $b$ so that $rb\equiv1\pmod m$. Then $n\equiv0\pmod m$ if and only if $n'+ba_0\equiv0\pmod m$, where $a_0$ is the unit's digit of $n$ when $n$ is written in base $r$, and $n'=(n-a_0)/r$.

HINT $\ $ In radix $\rm\:d:\ \ n'\:d + a_0 \equiv 0\ \iff n' + a_0/d \equiv 0\pmod{m}\ \:$ when $\rm\:\ (d,m) = 1\:. $
This amounts to "simplifying" an equation by cancelling some unit factor $\rm\:d\:.\:$ Because $\rm\:d\:$ is a unit (i.e. invertible), this is an invertible transformation, i.e. $\rm\:d\:x\equiv d\:y\iff\ x\equiv y\:.$ One encounters such simplifications (or normalizations) quite frequently, e.g. normalizing polynomial equations to be monic, i.e. scaling them so that the leading coefficient $= 1\:.$

well it gives me a sequence 7,11,15,19 and say calculate the difference between the successive term then asks to determine the formula that generates the sequence. any idea on how to do it or an easy explanation for a 14 yr old boy (Worried) and im actually from england :P
You have a sequence, this means an ordered list of numbers
Let us call the first U1, the second U2, the third U3, the fourth U4 and so one. The Nth one will be UN.
Here you have: U1=7 U2=11 U3=15 U4=19
And so more generally: UN-UN-1= 4
which can be written: UN=UN-1+ 4
And this is the formula that generates the sequence. This kind of sequence has an important role in mathematics and in practical life.
The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by the expression, where is the first term, is the term of the sequence, and is the common difference. Remember that Second term First term.
You have been asked to find.
You know.
Don't plug in anything for! Without, the formula will be a pure number!
To check your answer, plug in different values for :
When, the first term is.
When, the second term is.
When, the third term is.
When, the fourth term is.
This is the same as the above sequence.
I hope that helps. :)

text: Dear Dr. Pierce, I am writing in response to Comparison of Five Methods for Fit-Testing N95 Filtering-Facepiece Respirators by Coffey et al. (October 2002). This article raises several issues that invite comment and clarification. For example, there are factual and procedural errors that render the article's conclusions questionable, as explained below. Fit-test pass/fail results were compared with fifth percentile simulated workplace protection factors (SWPF) for the same respirator. The SWPF measurements included face seal leakage and filter penetration. The authors state that this SWPF measurement has been correlated to a wearer's actual exposure and is a valid measure of respirator performance. However, in the cited article, filter penetration was not included in the measurements. Fit tests were correlated with Freon 113 exposure in a laboratory. In fact, the SWPF measurement in this study has never been correlated to respirator performance in either the laboratory or the workplace. As a consequence, its use as a reference method is inappropriate, etc. Dear Sir, Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the letter from Mr. Janssen. I appreciate his observations, and have responded to each of his points in the order of their fundamental importance. The most fundamental point concerns what constitutes the most appropriate reference test. Mr. Janssen questions the use of an overall performance test - the simulated workplace protection factor (SWPF) test - as the reference test to judge the accuracy of the five fittesting methods. He states, "The SWPF measurement in this study has never been correlated to respirator performance in either the laboratory or the workplace," but he fails to identify a more appropriate test of respirator performance to use as a reference. My co-authors and I submit that the SWPF test used in this study has been demonstrated to correlate with respirator performance in both laboratory and workplace studies(1-3). Further, when evaluating overall respirator performance, we believe it reasonable and proper to measure total penetration (filter + face seal) rather than only face seal penetration as Mr. Janssen implies. In the cited article, total penetration was measured, but the filter penetration was negligible, etc.


How Much Is $100 After Taxes?
How much is taxes on $100?
For example, if the sales tax amount is $6.88, and the before tax price is $100, then the decimal tax rate would be 0.0688 ($6.88 ÷ $100 =.
0688 rounded).
Multiply the decimal tax rate by 100.
So if the decimal rate is 0.0688, then the percentage rate would be 6.88% (0.0688 x 100 = 6.88%).
How much is $100 worth in states?

African Diaspora Heritage Trail Bermuda
However, during the pre-modern times starting from the 16th century, the word refers to large scattering of the black slaves that mainly took place as part of the transatlantic slave trade from Africa.
It is estimated that during the slave trade period, over 10 million black slaves were transported from Africa to the western hemisphere.
Bermuda too had a Legacy of Slavery for over 200 years from early 1600s when the British colony was formed in the island. It was first in 1616 when Governor Tucker asked for Negroes to be brought into Bermuda to dive and search for pearls and also to grow tobacco. They were not indentured or debt bonded, so could not be called slaves in true sense.
In 1620s, the fist slaves came to Bermuda who were indentured. Soon the indenture period was increased to 99 years which means they became slaves for life. The slavery period in Bermuda continued until 1834 when it was finally abolished.
In 2001, Bermuda Department of Tourism and the international body African Diaspora created a trail tracing the legacy of Bermuda's slavery and preserving the heritage and culture of those belonging to the African Diaspora. All the sites in the trail including dozens of monuments and museums are officially designated as a UNESCO Slave Route Project. You will see a Bronze Plaque at each site having this official heritage status inscribed on it.
If you want, you can get a guide from Bermuda Department of Tourism to help you understand the background and the history as you go around the sites.
Here are all the sites of the Trail:
West End Sites
Located at the Bermuda Maritime Museum in Royal Naval Dockyard, the Commissioner's House has a two-room exhibit that displays many disturbing artifacts tracing the realities of slavery in Bermuda.
Located at Warwick parish, this is the oldest Methodist building in Bermuda that still exists. It was built by the free blacks and the slaves in 1827 to have a place of worship of their own. They worked mostly during their free time at night to complete the construction.
Sites in the Central Parishes
Barr's Bay, located at Hamilton City, was the site where a ship named Enterprise and carrying black slaves had to anchor in 1835 after being blown off the course by a strong gale. Having already abolished slavery in the previous year, Bermuda customs refused to let the ship sail back again without giving a choice of freedom to the slaves. Check out the link to know what happened finally.
Slaves in Bermuda helped building this elegant house with lush gardens and maintained it for about 125 years until the slavery was abolished in 1834.
This cave located in Smith's parish at the Spittal Pond Nature Reserve is named after a slave who escaped his master and hid at this well concealed cave for over a month before he was caught again.
This beautiful island guarding the Flatts Inlet is located at Smith's Parish. This was one of the places in Bermuda where the slaves who rebelled or tried to escape were executed and their bodies displayed in public.
East End Sites
The memorial is located at the Great Head Park in St David's island at St George. Many slaves worked and lived on boats as fishermen, whalers and pilots. Some never returned home as storms would have swept them overboard or the boats may have capsized. This memorial Figurehead was created in memory of those who were lost at the sea.
This used to be a private home in 1730s owned by a successful black couple who had their own slaves. The museum has exhibits and collections reflecting their day to day life.
Located at the heart of St. George, St. Peter's Church is the oldest Anglican church in the western hemisphere and is a key site of African Diaspora in Bermuda. There was a separate graveyard created here for the Christian blacks, whether free or enslaved. A separate gallery was created for them so that they could attend the services.
Bermudian Heritage Museum (at St. George)
Located at Water Street in St George, the museum has many artifacts, exhibits and photographs reflecting the legacy of black slavery. It also preserves the social and historical heritage of the blacks including sports, social history, politics, professional and personal accomplishment and also a bit of scandal. This is the Bermuda's only black history museum.
Located at St. George, the kitchen of the Tucker's House was used as a barber shop by a black man who fled the American Civil War in 1862 and landed in Bermuda from South Carolina. When he went back to USA in 1866, he joined politics and became one of the first blacks to be elected in the U.S. House of Representatives.
James Darrel, one of the most respected black pilots, was the first documented black Bermudian who was freed from slavery. British Admiral George Murray was so impressed with his navigational skills that he requested for his freedom. The place in St. George where his house is located, is called Darrel's Square.

East Meets West: Cross-Cultural Perspective in End-of-Life Decision Making From Indian and German Viewpoints
Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 2008 June; 11(2): 165-174
Culture creates the context within which individuals experience life and comprehend moral meaning of illness, suffering and death. The ways the patient, family and the physician communicate and make decisions in the end-of-life care are profoundly influenced by culture. What is considered as right or wrong in the healthcare setting may depend on the socio-cultural context. The present article is intended to delve into the cross-cultural perspectives in ethical decision making in the end-of-life scenario. We attempt to address the dynamics of the roles of patient, family and physician therein across two countries from East and West, namely, India and Germany. In India, where illness is more a shared family affair than an individual incident, a physician is likely to respect the family's wishes and may withhold the 'naked truth' about the diagnosis of a fatal disease to the patient. In Germany, a physician is legally required to inform the patient about the disease. In India, advance directive being virtually non-existent, the family acts as the locus of the decision-making process, taking into account the economic cost of available medical care. In Germany, advance directive is regarded as mandatory and healthcare is covered by insurance. Family and the physician appear to play larger roles in ethical decision making for patients in India than for those in Germany, who place greater emphasis on autonomy of the individual patient. Our study explicates how culture matters in ethical decision-making and why the bioethical discourse is necessary in the concrete realities of the socio-cultural context. To explore the possibility of finding a common ground of morality across different cultures while acknowledging and respecting cultural diversity, thus remains a formidable challenge for the bioethicists.

Safety and incident management
Safety is our top priority. All of our diving is conducted in accordance with BSAC safe diving guidelines. You can find out more here.
All our diving and other water based activities are supported by comprehensive risk assessments.
Risk Assessment is nothing more than a structured method to the identification of significant hazards associated with diving, diver training activities and gas filling operations. Risk assessment addresses these activities so that they can be performed more safely. Risk assessment is a common sense approach process and consists of five simple steps that:
- identifies significant hazards
- who or what is likely to be affected
- the risks associated
- the measures taken to control the risks
- recording what has been done
Risk assessment is in fact already inherent in the way in which BSAC Branches and individual divers go about organising their training and diving. For example, dive planning and management includes many activities that are designed to assess and control risk. A risk assessment is simply a structured way in which to address these activities so that they are performed most efficiently and safely.
Guidance from BSAC can be found here:
The following are our generic risk assessments for Totnes BSAC's regular activities.
- Open Water diving
- Swimming pool
- Nitrox blending
- Lifeboat rescue
- Golf ball diving
- Raft race
If you thinking about planning an activity with the club that you think may be hazardous, please contact the diving officer to make sure risks are considered and a risk assessment is in place if necessary.

Innervation and Neural Regulation of the Sex Pheromone Gland in Female Heliothis Moths
Female Heliothis moths normally produce their species-specific male attractant (sex pheromone blend) during scotophase, and this production is stimulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN), presumably carried in the hemolymph. Several lines of evidence indicate that the central nervous system plays another critical role in this regulation. Pheromone biosynthesis was induced during photophase by electrical stimulation of the ventral nerve cord or the peripheral nerves projecting from the terminal abdominal ganglion to the pheromone gland in the tip of the abdomen. Electron microscopy further revealed that axonal branches innervate the gland tissue. Nerve branches associated with pheromone gland cells are enwrapped in glia and contain dense-core vesicles, suggesting that the innervation of the gland might be neurosecretory. Finally, the biogenic monoamine octopamine was nearly as effective as purified Heliothis zea PBAN in stimulating pheromone biosynthesis when injected into intact females during mid-photophase. Furthermore, both octopamine and PBAN stimulated significant increases in the pheromone content of the glands in isolated abdomens lacking a ventral nerve cord but only when abdomens were treated at the onset of scotophase. These data suggest that the regulation of sex pheromone production in Heliothis is more complex than previously thought. Activation of the gland appears to be governed by both neural and hormonal mechanisms, and these control mechanisms depend on photoperiodic cues.

589 Coleophora clypeiferella
Hofmann, 1871Wingspan c. 14mm.
Only added to the British list as recently as 1954, this species occurs on wasteland and grassy areas in the south and south-east of England.
Feeding on the seedheads of fat-hen (Chenopodium album), the larva forms a case made from fragments of seed during September and October.
The adult moths have an unusual sclerotised plate on the tip of the abdomen containing small spines, which it is believed is used to help break out of the pupal cocoon. They emerge in July and August and are attracted to light.

Social Patriotism is an openly patriotic standpoint which combines patriotism with socialism. It was first identified at the outset of the First World War when a majority of Social Democrats opted to support the war efforts of their respective governments and abandoned socialist internationalism and worker solidarity.
At the International Socialist Conference at Zimmerwald the social patriots were identified as "the openly patriotic majority of the formerly Social-Democratic leaders" in Germany, as well as the group around Kautsky. In France and Austria the majority belonged, while in Britain and Russia a some, such as (Henry Hyndman, the Fabians, the Trade-Unionists, Georgi Plekhanov, Ilia Rubanovich and the Nasha Zarya group belonged.

Filtering the Full-Text Derivative File
Tutorial by Ian Milligan (Archives Unleashed Team)
We have some filtering tools already built into the Archives Unleashed Cloud -- for example, the "Text by Domain" button will give you a zip file of the text of the top ten domains within a web archive. Yet you may want to filter the derivative files further, so that they for example:
- Only contain websites from a certain date (i.e. all sites collected on July 16th, 2009)
- Only contain websites from a certain domain (i.e. the plain text of all "liberal.ca" websites), especially if they're not in the top ten domains but you know they are there.
- Only contain websites that have a certain keyword (i.e. every page that contains the word "elephant")
Fortunately, you can easily do this with some simple tools.
Grep is a Unix utility that stands for "globally search a regular expression and print." In short, it lets you take a text file and find lines that match criteria that you specify. Grep is especially useful for working with the files that the Cloud generates because each line in the full-text file corresponds to one website in the collection.
If you are on Linux or MacOS, you have Grep already installed. If you're on Windows, you will need to install a program called "Git Bash." You can install this via their "full installer" here. Follow these instructions to install.
One catch is that Grep only runs on the command line. The command line is powerful, but not always straightforward. Fortunately, there is a good walkthrough at the Programming Historian: Introduction to Bash. For the purposes of this tutorial, you will want to be able to "find" files in the command line.
A Command Line Example: Finding the Derivatives
In addition to the resources above, an example might give you a sense of how relatively straightforward it can be to locate files. Imagine that in the Cloud interface, you download the "full text" file. On MacOS, this defaults to your "downloads" directory.
To open the command line on MacOS, we go to our "Applications" folder, "Utilities," and then select "Terminal." You will see this window (your colours might be different):
By default, you start in your home user directory. You can now change the directory to downloads by typing:
If you type:
You will then see a long list of all of the files in this directory. Amongst them should be the file you downloaded from the Cloud! You could begin working on it here, or you could move it somewhere else on your file system. For more information on this, see the Bash tutorial above.
In the following example, I will use the files from the "Fort McMurray" collection. You can follow along with your own files, simply changing the collection number to your own (i.e. instead of 7368-fulltext.txt it might be 1234-fulltext.txt).
Let's imagine that we have a collection, but we just want part of it: in this case, the sites that match a certain date. This won't necessarily be the date that sites were created but will instead be the date that sites were crawled.
To do so, let's take a look at the basic structure of the full text file. We can do so by either opening up the file in a text editor, or in the command line, we can type a command that shows us the first x lines of a file.
In the directory where the file was downloaded (i.e. your "downloads" directory above or somewhere else), type the following command. It will just show the first two lines of a file, or in our case, the first two websites.
head -n 2 7368-fulltext.txt
Here we see the results:
The first two results aren't helpful to a researcher – the first document is a 301 error which was crawled but was redirecting browsers elsewhere, and the second is an error message from another 302. But what they do show is the basic structure of the file.
It is arranged like so:
So for date, if we wanted only sites that were crawled on 22 May 2016, we would need to convert them into a standardized format. In our case, dates are arranged like so YYYYMMDD, or Year-Month-Day. So 22 May 2016 is
To find these sites, let's construct a grep command. I will provide it below and then explain what it does.
grep '^(20160522' 7368-fulltext.txt > 20160522-text.txt
The basic structure of this command is:
grep PATTERN FILE-TO-ANALYZE > FILEOUTPUT.TXT
For the example pattern above, the quotation marks enclose the pattern we are looking for.
^ represents the "start of the line," and then since there is an opening parenthesis we look for that too. We then provide an output path for the results. In this case, there will now be a new file – 20160522-text.txt – that just contains the crawl text from 22 May 2016.
Finding Specific Domains
If the domain is in the top ten, you can use our handy "text by domain" derivative to work with it out of the box. If you want to find a different domain, however, you may have to do a bit of work yourself.
The logic is similar to finding specific domains. We'll also use grep. In the example above, we saw two different domains. Let's use "_URL_" as our example and get only websites from that domain.
We turn to grep again:
grep ',_URL_,' 7368-fulltext.txt > RMWB-text.txt
We now have a text file that just contains websites from the "_URL_" domain.
And of course, things are relatively similar with keywords. This can be the easiest one.
grep 'helicopter' 7368-fulltext.txt > helicopter-text.txt
We now just have the text of all websites that contain the word "helicopter."
These relatively straightforward commands need a bit of practice, but before you know it, you'll be filtering your web archive files like an expert. You can then move on to subsequent analysis steps, or if it's small enough, maybe even just start reading.

Wesley residents take up drumming to improve their well-being.
As one of the world's oldest musical instruments, drums have a place in every culture. From the ancient drum rhythms of African, Australian Aborigine and Asiatic rituals to keeping the beat for colonial marches, drums have played a major role in history.
Drumming also has a therapeutic effect. It promotes a sense of wellbeing, provides a cardio workout and encourages us to access both hemispheres of our brains. Even today, many Native American ceremonies continue to include a "medicine" drum. That's why Wesley created "Drum for the Health of It!", a resident-based drumming group.
"The holistic benefits of group drumming in senior living environments have been well studied and documented," said Wesley's Music Therapy Coordinator Leslie Lehnhoff. "Evidence-based research supports music-making in general and specifically group drumming. I did additional research and discovered that drum circles are an excellent complementary music-based activity in senior living."
Though we all enjoy music, many people cannot or do not want to engage with other music groups, such as choirs, hand bells or ukulele groups. These all require the reading of musical notation. However, drumming group participants do not need to know how to read music. The drum circle facilitator provides all necessary instruction, demonstration and mentoring so that all participants are able to make rhythms on their drums.
Here's what drumming does for participants:
- Utilizes left and right brain hemispheres – When the logical left and the intuitive right hemispheres of our brains begin to pulsate together, our inner guidance system, our intuition, becomes stronger.
- Synchronizes the brain – Integrating the non-verbal lower areas of the brain with the language and reasoning frontal cortex produces feelings of insight and certainty.
- Induces a natural high – When our brain changes from Beta waves, used when we concentrate, to Alpha waves, we feel calm and relaxed. Alpha wave activity is associated with feelings of well-being and euphoria, which is why meditation and other integrative modes of consciousness are often recommended for people who are depressed or anxious.
With a grant from the Wesley Community Foundation, the Wesley drum circles were established in 2017 on both the Des Moines and Lea Hill campuses. In creating these resident-based drumming circles, Leslie drew on her previous experiences working with therapeutic music in senior populations. This popular program draws in nearly 65 participants on both campuses and is proving to be a powerful social and physical health tool in Wesley's therapeutic group of music programs.
Drum circles meet twice a month on each campus. To join one, contact Leslie at _PHONE_ or email _EMAIL_.

India's first indigenous jet was left to die young
India's first fighter plane Marut didn't get the boost it deserved.
Today, 50 years later, the IAF has no indigenously built aircraft of any worth. The enthusiam that was associated particularly with Marut died a natural death because of a combination of two factors: import pressures in general and under-powered engines for the aircraft.
Retired IAF officers told Deccan Herald that neither Air Headquarters nor the Ministry of Defence pursued the indegenisation programme beginning with Marut manufactured by the then Hindustan Aircraft Ltd, later christened as Hindustan Aeronatics Ltd (HAL), with gusto. According to Wg Cdr (retd) Praful Bakshi, Marut's "Achilles heel" was its engine.
"After the GNAT started flying, Kurt Tank (a German who had earlier designed the Focke-Wolf) designed the HF-24" which was a "remarkable aircraft but fell short because of the lack of a proper engine".
After the aircraft was commissioned, three squadrons were formed and some of them saw action during the 1971 Indo-Pak war in which it took a lot of hits, as one retired IAF officer said.
At the manufacturing stage, Rolls Royce agreed to make an engine for the Marut at a cost of Rs 7 lakh per engine. But after the company's factory in Egypt was bombed by the Israelis in an air attack the IAF re-designed the aircraft, fitting two GNAT engines on it.
"This did not help because the frame was designed for Mach 2-3 speed and the engines were grossly under-powered," another retired IAF officer said, adding that with no significant help from western countries in developing the Marut's engine, the plan to manufacture more of the HF-24 was dropped.
According to Wg Cdr Bakshi, "the Marut was the only aircraft which flew supersonic without an afterburner, an aspect which "our planners never gave importance to.
Besides, the defence establishment "never thought that this was a great tactical advantage. Senior personnel did not want to fly this aircraft because the worksmanship of HAL was not up to the mark," he notes.
The IAF was "happy because nobody wanted an indigenous programme" even though the Marut could do 640 knots, fly low level with four tanks" (comparable to the American F-22).
Most retired IAF officers Deccan Herald spoke to faulted the Marut's engine whose under-performance was the main reason why production of the aircraft was grounded.
"Imagine what a Rs 4-crore investment could have done to the aircraft", Air Marshal (retd) S K S Ramdas said, adding: "Some of the aircraft had not even clocked 10-12 hours on the log and there was one which had logged only three hours. Only a very rich country like ours could afford such a colossal waste," he said.
Another retired Air Marshal said that several test pilots lost their lives because of a combination of mehcanical faults, including a below par engine. The fighter plane's reputation was marred by technical glitches, including fuel leakages and a problem with the canopy, which eventually took the life of Group Capt Suranjan Das.
After the Indo-Pak war, the government virtually stalled the IAF's programme tilting to the seductive appeal of imports which included the procurement and operationalisation of the Russian MiG-21s which subsequently suffered because of the availability of spare parts.
Now, the aircraft lies all across India in various airfields and the authorities at Air Headquarters and HAL here look the other way because it was a source of embarrassment.

Dudley explains why TBTF firms need to shrink
William Dudley claims that there are two sources of instability inherent to financial intermediation. The first is universally recognized: maturity transformation. The second is not:
The second inherent source of instability stems from the fact that firms are typically worth much more as going concerns than in liquidation. This loss of value in liquidation helps to explain why liquidity crises can happen so suddenly. Initially, no one is worried about liquidation. The firm is well understood to be solvent as shown in Figure 1. But once counterparties start to worry about liquidation, the probability distribution can shift very quickly toward the insolvency line, as shown in Figure 2, because the liquidation value is lower than the firm's value as a going concern.
In his analysis Dudley fails to ask one very important question: When is there a big difference between the liquidation and the "going concern" value of financial firms?
I would posit that for old-fashioned banks that hold loans on the balance sheet and take deposits the difference between the liquidation and the "going concern" value of the bank is not necessarily large. Simple loans are relatively easy to value. Branches can be sold off. Key employees who know the borrowers and have relationships with large depositors can be kept on by the firm that purchases a branch.
Almost certainly too big to fail firms have much higher liquidation costs than old-fashioned banks. Complex asset portfolios are harder to liquidate than simple loan portfolios and are likely to be particularly hard-hit when markets are unstable. Furthermore too big to fail firms are frequently too large to be managed well even when they are going concerns and thus must be split in many, many pieces in liquidation. The process of selling off divisions will inevitably lead to some loss of information as employees with broad experience must go in one direction or another.
I read Dudley's second source of instability as a reason to protect the financial system from oversized financial supermarkets.


How Long Does It Take To Repair A Blown Transformer?
How can you tell if a transformer is blown?
If there is 240 or 208 volts there everything is good up to the transformer.
Set the meter to read 24 volts AC and look for this on the outer two wires of the 3 wires at the top of the transformer.
If there is no voltage there then the transformer itself is faulty and you need to replace the transformer..
How do you test a 12v transformer?
To conduct this test, the transformer must be completely disconnected, and you need to set the multimeter to read resistance in ohms (Ω). Touch the meter leads to the two input terminals of the primary coil (they may be marked H1 and H2) and check the reading.
How far away should you live from a transformer?
200 meters200 meters are a good safe distance, which usually ensures values corresponding to the population average. Depending on the loads served by each line we can record normal levels even 50 meters or less from the cables.
What happens when a transformer blows up?
When a transformer blows, it interrupts electrical service to any residences or businesses connected to the transformer. Electric service crews must replace the destroyed hardware, first shutting down the incoming electrical line to prevent damage and injury.
How long does a power outage usually last?
How often do transformers explode?
Mineral oil, in turn, combusts explosively and rockets transformer scything into the air. Manhattan houses 35,000 underground and 47,000 overhead transformers for its 10 million residents, and of those 82,000, about 35 fail every year, McGee says.
What causes a transformer to go bad?
The most common cause of unbalance is a change in load configuration, so quickly map out your overall equipment distribution system. Overloading — If the temperatures are substantially higher than expected and the unit is not exposed to direct sunlight, then there's most likely a problem with overloading and cooling.
Is it dangerous to live next to a transformer?
How close can I live or work near powerlines or other electrical sources? There is no established evidence that the exposure to magnetic fields from powerlines, substations, transformers or other electrical sources, regardless of the proximity, causes any health effects.
How do you diagnose a bad transformer?
A bad transformer will have weak power or none at all. If there is power to the unit, it may not be faulty. However, if there is little or no power going to the unit, it may need replacement or repairs. A simple way to check the power is to turn the unit off and on again.
How do you troubleshoot a transformer?
How to Troubleshoot a Low-Voltage TransformerIdentify the transformer's terminals, using its label as a guide. … Turn a multimeter to its VAC function. … Test the transformer's input voltage with the multimeter, using the transformer's label as a terminal guide. … Test the transformer's output voltage with the multimeter. … Disconnect the electricity to the transformer.More items…
Can transformers cause cancer?
"There is no known mechanism by which magnetic fields of the type generated by high voltage power lines can play a role in cancer development. Nevertheless, epidemiologic research has rather consistently found associations between residential magnetic field exposure and cancer."
Is a transformer explosion dangerous?
When they fail, it can result in a large explosion that has a potentially dangerous aftermath if handled improperly, which is why it is important to know what to do when a transformer blows. … Make sure that you follow these safety precautions if a transformer blows near you.

Meitnerium: the essentials
Element 109, meitnerium, is a synthetic element that is not present in the environment at all. There is no dispute concerning the name meitnerium for element 109.
The interested reader should consult the on-line version of The Wonderful World of Atoms and Nuclei for a fascinating insight into research on "super-heavy" atoms.
Meitnerium: historical information
In August 1982 the first atom of the element meitnerium with atomic number 109 was detected at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. The isotope of element 109 which was discovered has an atomic mass number of 266 (that is, 266 times heavier than hydrogen). The new element was produced by fusing an iron (58Fe) and a bismuth atom (209Bi) together in a reaction that produces a neutron. This was achieved by accelerating the iron atoms to a high energy in the heavy ion accelerator UNILAC at GSI.
Meitnerium: physical properties
Meitnerium: orbital properties
Isolation: only a few atoms of element 109, meitnerium, have ever been made. The first atoms were made through a nuclear reaction involving fusion of an isotope of bismuth, 209Bi, with one of iron, 58Fe.
209Bi + 58Fe → 266Mt + 1n
Isolation of an observable quantity of meitnerium has never been achieved, and may well never be. This is because meitnerium decays very rapidly through the emission of α-particles.

Etymological Meaning of the Bird of Paradise Flower
All five different Bird of Paradise flowers get grouped together under the Strelitzia scientific name. While the common name comes from the bird-like appearance of the bloom, the scientific name is drawn from Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She was married to King George III when the flower was first imported into Great Britain, so the royal gardener named it after her. It's also more commonly called the crane flower in its native home.
Symbolism of the Bird of Paradise Flower
The Bird of Paradise symbolizes many different meanings because it's such an exotic and unusual flower. Everyone that encountered it developed their own idea of the bloom as a symbol. As a native lily from South Africa, freedom and beauty are the two traditional meanings that stand out the most. The Bird of Paradise also means a royalty lineage or bearing due to its association with ruling families. The sheer beauty of the contrasting petals makes it an obvious symbol of excellence and success. It's not commonly used as a birth flower, but it is the floral gift given for the 9th wedding anniversary since the Bird of Paradise is reminiscent of faithfulness. As one of the largest individual blooms used for arranging, it's usually used in the center with clusters of smaller matching flowers to make a statement.
Bird of Paradise Flower Colour Meanings
Since all the Bird of Paradise varieties feature different sets of two contrasting colors, the contrast has more meaning than the specific colors. The look created by combining bright orange and purple or gold and dark blue petals truly makes the flower look alive and like a bird about to take off from the plant's stem. All five varieties sport bright colors rather than muted or pale tones, adding passion and energy to the symbolism behind them.
Meaningful Botanical Characteristics of the Bird of Paradise Flower
While they respond well to being kept in a greenhouse or other humid and warm environment, there is still relatively little breeding of Bird of Paradise plants to produce new varieties. All five types currently available developed in the wild on their own. These plants usually rely on nectar-feeding sunbirds for pollination, so professionals and hobbyists that want to breed their own flowers must do the delicate work themselves with special tools. A few plants that share the same name with the Bird of Paradise are used for medicinal purposes, but the true version is poisonous and offers no medicinal or edible value. The unscented plant also produces no oils or absolutes for perfume formulation.
Special Occasions for the Bird of Paradise Flowers
Wondering when to splurge on a big Bird of Paradise as a gift for someone else? Stick with an appropriate occasion like:
- Birthdays, especially for adults that already have everything else
- Congratulating someone on a promotion, graduation, or other success
- Celebrating the handling of a sticky situation in a graceful way
- Birth and relocation announcements, or any celebration of a new beginning
- Farewell parties for people departing on long trips
The Bird of Paradise Flower's Message Is…
Stay open to new possibilities and seek your freedom wherever you can find it. Explore the world with a sense of optimism and excitement.

A Brief History of Table Service
A Brief history of Table Service
The Nine Basic Principle of Hospitality and Service may seem straightforward, but they have not always been the rules of the profession. Table service is a noble profession, one that has had a long and varied history, and has been shaped by that history.
Table service evolved with changes in social structure, architecture, and the food that were served. By comparing the food and ways our ancestors ate, especially when they dined in banquet, with our own custom, today's dining habits, whether in formal dining rooms, bistros, or family restaurants, can be better understood-even some of the bizarre jargon used in today's kitchen and dining rooms, which has its roots in the past.
THE ANCIENT WORLD: GRECE
The earliest written descriptions of recognizably Western dining scenes are found in the Old Testament and in Homer's Odyssey and Iliad. In reading these accounts, it is obvious that it was the status of the diners that counted. Until fairly recent times, writers did not write about ordinary, everyday life. They wrote for and about the rich and powerful, describing banquets and special occasions attended by people of high social status. By 400 BCE the Greek banquet had become standardized, with a fixed structure for the dishes served and the manner in which they were generally held in private home, as the Greeks had very few public eating places. Dining room were small, containing couches for the guests. Rooms were described by the number of couches they contained. Usually these feasts took place in a t couch room, with a small table in front of each couch.
A basket containing a selection of breads made of wheat or barley was placed on each table. Servants brought large dishes from the kitchen, and guests chose their favorite portions, tossing scraps, shells, and bones onto the table.
The meal was divided into three parts. The first part or course might include fruit, poultry, salted seafood, and small savory meat dishes, much like the Greek mezze of today. These light dishes were followed by hartier fare-fresh seafood and roasted meats, such as lamb or baby goat.
After this course, the tables were removed with all the bones and other debris, and new table were brought out. Servants circulated with towels and basins of warm water scented with precious oils for the guests to clean their hands.
Desserts were then served. These might include dried and fresh fruits, cheeses, nuts and small pasties or other confections. Wine mixed with water tableside in a krater, a large clay pot with a wide mouth, was served with the desserts. Diluted wine was considered healthier than water, and drunken behavior was discouraged.
After the desserts the soiled tables were removed one again, signaling the end of the meal and the beginning of the symposium, a convivial party with a mix of literary and philosophical discussions, music, and performances by acrobats and female dancers, accompanied by the drinking of unmixed wine.
THE ANCIENT WORLD: ROME
The Rome adopted a great deal of Greek culture, including the culinary arts, taking Greek ideas about the meal merely as a starting point. They used more-complex recipe, more-elaborate presentations, more kinds of seasonings and more of them, and more important ingredients. Roman families dined tighter. There were strict rules governing the position of each diner, based upon status. The head of the household always had the most prestigious spot. Guests also took their places according to status. Just to be invited to dine often signaled sought-after social recognition. Who was invited by whom, who accepted an invitation, and to whom one appealed for an invitation said much about power in ancient Rome.
The Rome dining room was called a triclinium; it contained three couches, each for three diners, arranged in a U shape. Diner rested on their left sides, their left elbows propped up on cushions. The legs of the second diner on the couch were behind the cushion of the second. This left the right hand free to choose from the platters of food, carried from the kitchen on dicuses. Each guest ate from a red pottery bowl or dish, such as the then-famous Samian ware.
A Rome dinner consisted of three courses. The first, the gustum, was similar to our
hors d'oeuver. It was served with mulsum, a light wine mixed with honey. The gustum was followed by the mensa primae, or first table, as in the sequence of the Greek banquet. Red wine mixed with water accompanied the mensa primae. The next course was the
Mensa secundae, or second table. This course included a dessert of fruits and sweets-and the first unwated wines of the meal. This was the time for entertainment and a serious drinking to begin, as the Greek symposium.
The middle Ages through the Renaissance
The hierarchy of power and status was reflected in medieval banquets as well. In Anglo-Saxon times meals were large-scale affairs, taking place in the main hall of a castle; there were no rooms reserved solely for dining. Although some tables were permanent, most consisted of boards laid across heavy trestles or sawhorses and dismantled after the meal. Tables were arranged in a U, and the head of the household and honored guests sat at a table elevated on a dais. The table was covered with a white cloth and an overcloth called a sanap in English.
The first thing to go on the table was the salt cellar, which was placed before the most important person, salt being for immense value in the middle ages. The status of those who were to eat could be determined by where they sat in relation on the salt. High-status diners ate above the salt, others below. Only those above the salt were seated on chairs. The rest sat on benches that were, in effect, miniature versions of the trestle tables at which they ate.
The most important implement on the table was a carving knife. Carving was a manly art, and at first it was reserved for the carver, a person of exalted rank. Later this task was given over to the "officer of the mouth," the highest-ranking servant. A concern with courtliness and manners, if not sanitation, demanded that the officer of the mouth "set never on fish, beast, or fowl more than tow fingers and a thumb." Diners brought along their own knives. They used them to cut foods into pieces small enough to be eaten conveniently with the hands or conveyed directly into the mouths on the point of the knife.
The tables used in French banquets were covered with a large cloth called the nappe. The top was kept clean, but the sides where it hung down were used for wiping the hands. Occasionally manuturigia, or hand towers, were made available. The French word nappe is the source of the English word napery, meaning "table linens." Napkin is a diminutive form, and apron is an altered form of napron. Likewise, the culinary term napper is used to describe coating or covering food with sauce. Food was served from common bowls, called messes. It was scooped, or dragged, to large dishes or trenchers, either tranchoirs, which were shared by two or three dinners.
In France, as in England,, wealthy households had a large number and variety of silver bowls, basins, pitchers, and other serving vessels. Ordinary folk, on the other hand, might have no more than a pewter mug. The display of wealth through service ware was only one of the ways that the host's status was expressed at the table.
In the late fourteenth century people began to think of food and its service its service as worthy of study and respect. In France, Taillevent cook to Charles V and Chales VI, collected and codified medieval cooking in his book Le Viandier. Le menagier de Paris, modeled on Le Viandier and written by an elderly gentleman for his young bride, outlined the ourgeois repertoire.
In the mid-fifteenth century platina of Cremona, librarian to Pope Sixtus IV and a learned epicure, published De honesta voluptate et valutudine. In it, Platina discussed proper manner, table etiquette, table setting, nutrition, and more. It also contained recipes. De Honesta Voluptate altered the way the wealty, who still ate with their hands, thought about eating and manners. Written in Latin, it was translated into many languages, including Italian, French, and English, and had tremendous impact.
Although not all historians agree, some trace the organs of classic fine dining to a single aristocratic family of the sixteenth century, the Medicis of Florence. When Catherine de Medici married the future King Henri II of France in 1533, she brought as part of her entourage a small army of Italian cooks, chefs, servant, and wine experts.
Catherine introduced fine dining and its appropriate service to France; her cousin, Marie de Medici, wife of King Henri IV, continued that culinary mission. Francois La Varenne, one of the greatest chefs of Fraince, received his training in the kitchen of Henri IV, While Taillevent looked to the past for inspiration, La Varenne's book Le Cuisinier francois (1651) showed signs of a more modern approach to cooking, foreshadowing Le Guide culinaire of Escoffier, still 250 years in the future.
The new table manners that began with platina were expanded during the reigns of the medici cousins. Among the table refinements brought to France by the medicis were:

Home / Beer Myths
Beer Myths
Dark beers are stronger
The color of beer has no relation to its alcohol content. For example, Guinness, one of the most popular dark beers has an alcohol volume of 4.2%, while several light-colored Belgian beers have alcohol content of 8% or more. It is the amount of sugars the beer for the yeast to eat that determines the alcoholic strength of a beer and dark roasted grains have actually less fermentable sugar.
Imported beers are stronger than American beers
Traditionally, American beers measure their alcohol content by weight, while many other countries (across Europe and in Canada) measure by volume. The alcohol by weight figure will always appear lower than the alcohol by volume – for example, 4% ABW = 5% ABV, hence the myth creation.
The best beers have green bottles
Brown glass is the best color to protect beer from light, which is why most beers are bottled with it. A shortage of brown glass in Europe during the last century led to many breweries using green glass to bottle their beer and people incorrectly assumed the color indicated a better beer. Typically these green bottled imported beers are actually sold with brown bottles in their native countries.
Beer is ruined if warmed and then refrigerated
This can be true, if you do it many, many times. People think re-chilling beer will cause it to be "skunked". Beer can be ruined by air, light and time. Temperature won't ruin a beer unless it's extreme. UV light though will react with the hops in the beer to create a sulfur compound that does smell like skunk, so keep your beer out of bright sunlight as it can skunk in less than a minute.
Beer should be served ice-cold
This is an unfortunate myth perpetuated by the major commercial breweries – especially for their light beers. The fact is, flavor typically diminishes when beer is served ice-cold. If you want to deaden the feeling to a body part you put ice on it, the same is true with ice cold beverages on the tongue. Ice cold beer may make for a thirst-quenching, refreshing beverage, but often bears little resemblance to traditional beer. Several beers are, in fact, best served much closer to room temperature in the cool 50 degree range and are considered undrinkable when icy cold – such as Guinness and many of the traditional English ales.
Ales are served at room temperature in the UK
This story goes back to World War II, when American GIs spent considerable time in England. Cask-conditioned (or "real") ale is served at cellar temperature, which is in the low to mid-50s and certainly not room temperature. Just like deep red wine like a Cabernet or Merlot, darker and/or stronger beers and most typically ales taste better as they get closer to a cellar temperature.

 - Garmillas Governor
 - Any Garmillans not off planet
The Bombing of Alteria was one of the most destructive acts the Imperial Guard committed during the Garmillas Civil War.
After word of Space Battleship Yamato existance and how a ship from a planet being invaded by the Empire had caused so much trouble for the Imperial Asto Navy, many worlds began revolting against Garmillas and Dessler.
Prior to the Battle of Carell 163. The population of Alteria began a revolt. ("Point of No Return")
The assaultEdit
When the rebellion began many Garmillans were forced to evacuate as the natives began taking their planet back, however many weren't able to escape. The Governor escaped the planet and requested aid. Dessler sent Hydom Gimleh to deal with the rebellion. When the Governor met Gimleh aboard his ship, and after hearing his pleas for aid in defending the remaining Garmillan on the planet he instead ordered the Governor be killed.
The fleet moved in to bombing position as massive missile began raining down on the planet killing the celebrating Alterians. After the bombs explode the Carriers release bombers and fire upon the surface cities while bomber destroyed smaller more remote locations. In a matter of minutes a once blue world was largely burnt. ("Point of No Return")
This event caused a rift in Garmillas leadership between those who thought they were being to brutal and those who didn't. In addition Lord Dessler was apparently killed in an assassination shortly after the planet was bombed. ("Point of No Return")
Many of the surviving Alterians would find themselves in prison camps. These people were presumably released after the new Garmillas government takes power. ("The Planet That We Head For")

I like criticism. It makes you strong.
If the criticism you hear are founded, and you agree with them—you should be happy. Someone has told you what you should improve on.
If you agree with those criticism, you would work harder to improve yourself. Thus, do not be angry with people who spread bad word about you. First, think of how this criticism can benefit you. If a person cannot take some resistance, how are they supposed to become successful?

Over the last half century, the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) of East Antarctica have become a globally important site for scientific research and environmental monitoring. Historical data can make important contributions to current research activities and environmental management in Antarctica, but tend to be widely scattered and difficult to access. We address this need in the MDV by compiling over 5,000 historical photographs, sketches, maps, oral interviews, publications, and other archival resources into an online digital archive. The data have been digitized and georeferenced using a standardized metadata structure, which enables intuitive searches and data discovery via an online interface. The ultimate aim of the archive is to create as comprehensive as possible a record of human activity in the MDV to support ongoing research, management, and conservation efforts. This is a valuable tool for scientists seeking to understand the dynamics of change in lakes, glaciers, and other physical systems, as well as humanistic inquire into the history of the Southern continent. In addition to providing benchmarks for understanding change over time, the data can help target field sampling for studies working under the assumption of a pristine landscape by enabling researchers to identify the date and extent of past human activities. The full database is accessible via the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research site: _URL_
Using bibliographies of MDV publications (including grey literature) (Antarctic Division, D.S.I.R., 1985; Mead, 1978; New Zealand Antarctic Programme, 1995), recommendations from other researchers, and outreach to "Old Antarctic Explorer" organizations, we compiled a list of individuals who have worked in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. We then contacted these individuals with requests for historical photographs and documents related to the MDV (Fig. 1). When we received interested replies, we collected the data using one of the following approaches. If data (especially photographs) were already available in digital format, we arranged for files to be sent to us electronically. When data were not available digitally, we either arranged for the contributors to digitize their documents locally through commercial scanning services, or we visited the researchers in person with a scanner (either a slide scanner or a flatbed scanner depending on the nature of the data). The in-person visits also facilitated oral history interviews with researchers, which we recorded, transcribed, and included in the archive (Fig. 2).In addition to individuals, we also worked with universities, libraries, archives, and national Antarctic programs. Sometimes data were already easily accessible online, such as the Antarctica New Zealand's digital photograph collection (Antarctica New Zealand, 2017). More often, however, data were only available in non-digital formats, in which case we followed a digitization process similar to our work with the individual researchers.

Cellular and Biomolecular Mechanics and Mechanobiology
part of "Studies in Mechanobiology, Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials" Series
[en] Key factors in the formation of cell aggregates in tissue engineering and other fields are the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Other important factors are culture conditions such as nutrient and oxygen supply and the characteristics of the environment (medium versus hydrogel). As mathematical models are increasingly used to investigate biological phenomena, it is important that processes such as cell adhesion are adequately described in the models. Recently a technique was developed to incorporate cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion in continuum models through the use of non-local terms. In this study we apply this technique to model adhesion in a cell-in-gel culture set-up often found in tissue engineering applications. We briefly describe the biological issues underlying this study and the various modeling techniques used to capture adhesive behaviour. We furthermore elaborate on the numerical techniques that were developed in the course of this study. Finally, we consider a tissue engineering model that describes the spatiotemporal evolution of the concentration of cells, matrix, hydrogel, matrix degrading enzymes and oxygen/nutrients in a cell-in-gel culture system. Sensitivity analyses indicate a clear influence of the different adhesive processes on the final cell and collagen density and distribution, demonstrating the significance of cell adhesion in tissue engineering and the potential of the proposed mathematical technique.

Changing the Cube Date Format
The projects that are available for download from the CubeStore have a default date format set in the cubes of "MM/DD/YY". This can be easily changed in the project to accommodate various regional preferences.
To alter the default date format, change the Date table in the staging database. The table will have a clock icon next to it and it is possible that this table is in the data warehouse depending on the version of the project that was downloaded from the CubeStore.
 1. Expand the Date table found in the staging database in the Jet Data Manager and identify the DisplayDate field.
 2. Right-click on the "Custom value" and select Edit Custom Transformation. The Custom Transformation window will appear.
 The number value "1" is part of the SQL "CONVERT" function and represents the "MM/DD/YY" format. The "1" should be replaced with the appropriate number that represents the desired format. A list of formats can be viewed under the Remarks section at the following link: Cast and Convert. In this example we will use the British/French standard which is represented by the number "3".
 3. Click Ok and then deploy and execute the Date table in the data warehouse.
 4. Click on the Cubes tab in the Jet Data Manager and deploy and execute the OLAP Servers node at the top of the Cubes tab.
 The default date format was originally set to "MM/DD/YY" which would display as the following in Excel:
 5. Once the change has been implemented, deployed and executed in the Date table in the staging database, data warehouse and cubes, viewers will see dates with the designated date format in Excel. In this example: "DD/MM/YY".

Origin: Egypt/Africa (Sinai)
Circa: 1600 BC to 1100 BC
Necklace composed of genuine Egyptian New Kingdom faience beads and genuine Venetian glass trade beads.
The love of ornament is as old as civilization itself, and a constant theme in human affairs, as this splendid necklace demonstrates. It brings together two kinds of beads from cultures separated by many centuries, yet makes them perfectly compatible and absolutely timeless in their beauty. Faience, a glass composite paste, was first created in Egypt more than four thou sand years ago. In the Egyptian new kingdom, artistry in faience was at its peak. Faience beads like these were worn by the citizens of Egypt for centuries. On the walls of tombs and temples, the aristocracy is depicted wearing faience necklaces. During the renaissance, Venetian craftsman rediscovered the ancient techniques for glassmaking. As Venetian trading power spread throughout the world, so did the demand for Venetian glass jewelry. In Africa especially, Venetian beads were used as barter for gold, ivory, spices and rare woods. In some places they acted as a kind of currency, and were used as a bridal dowry. It is easy to see why. Their subtle beauty, which blends perfectly with the rich colors of faience, still speaks to us today. - (FJ.4659)


The motivation behind the world's fastest electric ice cream van
What motivates an inventor and entrepreneur to design the world's fastest ice cream van? Edd China, a British inventor and TV presenter from Surrey, has broken the Guinness World Record by creating an ice-cream that clocked up speeds of 73.921 mph. Although he doesn't sell ice-cream for a living, he is on a mission to decrease carbon emissions and demonstrate that businesses aren't negatively impacted by embracing electric vehicle technology.
This is Edd's seventh Guinness World Record title centred around speedy motorised vehicles, but the project was never about just breaking records. After Edd discovered that ice cream vans were being banned in some London boroughs due to their harmful emissions, he decided to create a special engine conversion kit that can run on electricity rather than diesel. He hopes to roll it out as a business, and in doing so, to future-proof ice cream vans as a key part of the British summer.
The van originally ran on a Mercedes Sprinter diesel engine. After two years of modifications the record was broken at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire with a speed which would have warranted a speeding ticket on a motorway.
What's next for the inventor? He has his sights set on breaking the record for the fastest motorized shopping trolley currently held at 70.4 mph and to make it street legal.
Other notable records involving automobiles include:
The longest journey by a coffee-powered car
In 2010, a Volkswagon Scirocco was driven 337 km from London to Manchester powered by coffee. The modified car works by heating coffee granules in a charcoal fire, which break down into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. 'Car-puccino' can reportedly reach 60 mph and achieved 1 mile per 56 espressos. The process works because coffee granules contain a small amount of carbon.
The fastest police car in service
To help them keep up with rich businessmen in their speeding sports cars, police in Dubai decided to invest in one of the most powerful production cars on the planet: a Bugatti Veyron. With a blistering top speed of 253 mph and a US$1.6 million price tag, the Dubai police parked the Veyron alongside a Lamborghini Aventador that they already owned. The Veyron, however, was renowned in 2016 as the second fastest street-legal car in the world, only pipped by the 301 mph Hennessey Venom GT.

A father posts a YouTube video in protest after secretly recorded teachers bullying his 10-year-old son, who has autism
After Stuart Chaifetz was told that his "sweet and non-violent" 10-year-old son Akian was acting violently at his New Jersey school -- including physical assaults against his teacher and teacher's aide -- he decided to investigate.
Akian has autism, as do the rest of the students in the class. This prevented him from being able to explain to his father if anything had been happening to him at school. Chaifetz decided the only way to find out what was behind the outbursts was to send his boy to school wearing a hidden audio recorder.
While Akian's teacher and colleagues denied anything out of the ordinary was happening, the recordings Chaifetz listened to told a different story.

"You would never get away with talking about your alcohol abuse the night before if this was a mainstream class," Chaifetz says in the YouTube video (below). "And that's the point, isn't it? They knew none of those boys could go home and tell their parents that the person who ran that class was under the influence of alcohol and was throwing up."
As the video continues, Chaifetz introduces the viewer to the voice of his son's teacher, "Kelly", and her classroom aide, "Jodi".
"Who are you talking to, nobody?" Kelly asked Akian, who often talks to himself. "Knock it off," Jodi says sharply.
Upset, Akian begins to cry. "Go ahead and scream because guess what? You're going to get nothing until your mouth is shut," one of the teachers snaps. "Shut your mouth."
The abuse escalates as the video progresses, with Jodi saying, "Oh Akian, you are a bastard."
"She betrayed my son and caused him great pain. If some union rule or HR regulation has allowed her to keep her job, then the law needs to be changed so that the next time a teacher bullies a child, especially one with special needs, they will be immediately fired. For me to do nothing would mean I was treating my son with as much disrespect as they had," he added.
Chaifetz said that he made the heartbreaking video after the Cherry Hill Public School District officials listened to the recordings and decided not to fire the teacher, but rather move her to a different classroom. The aide, Jodi, was fired however. Chaifetz is calling for both the teacher and aide to publicly apologize and for the teacher to resign from her position at Horace Mann Elementary School.

oelectric materials have electric polarisation. In ferroelectric materials there is a spontaneous electric polarisation in the absence of an applied electric field. In dielectric materials there is electric polarisation aligned only when an electric field is applied. Piezoelectric materials have electric polarisation due to applied mechanical stress distorting the structure from pressure.
T0 is the temperature where ferroelectric materials lose their spontaneous polarisation as a first or second order phase change occurs, that is the internal structure changes or the internal symmetry changes. In certain cases T0 is equal to the Curie Temperature however the Curie Temperature can be 10 kelvin lower than T0.
|Below T0||Above T0|
All ferroelectric materials are piezoelectric.
An external force applies pressure on particles inside the material which affects the structure of the crystal lattice. Particles in a unit cell become unsymmetrical which allows a net polarisation from each particle. Symmetry would cancel the opposing charges out and there would be no net polarisation. Below the transition temperature T0 displacement of electric charges causes polarisation. Above the transition temperature T0 the structure is cubic and symmetric, causing the material to become dielectric. Electric charges are also agitated and disordered causing the material to have no electric polarisation in the absence of an applied electric field.
Ferroelectric and Dielectric
Materials are only ferroelectric below their corresponding transition temperature T0. Ferroelectric materials are all piezoelectric and therefore have a spontaneous electric polarisation as the structures are unsymmetrical.
Materials are only dielectric above their corresponding transition temperature T0. Dielectric materials have no electric polarisation in the absence of an applied electric field. The electric dipoles are unaligned and have no net polarisation. In analogy to magnetic susceptibility, electric susceptibility only occurs above T0.
Ferroelectric materials when polarised are influenced under hysteresis (Figure 4); that is they are dependent on their past state as well as their current state. As an electric field is applied the dipoles are forced to align and polarisation is created, when the electric field is removed polarisation remains. The hysteresis loop depends on temperature and as a result as the temperature is increased and reaches T0 the two curves become one curve as shown in the dielectric polarisation (Figure 5).
A heat-induced ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition is used in magneto-optical storage media, for erasing and writing of new data. Famous examples include the Sony Minidisc format, as well as the now-obsolete CD-MO format. Other uses include temperature control in soldering irons, and stabilizing the magnetic field of tachometer generators against temperature variation.

How Much Money Do Most Newscasters Make?
Newscasters and television personalities have a broad differential within their salary ranges. National network news anchors use agents to help them negotiate multi-million-dollar contracts, while entry-level newscasters in small rural markets often earn an amount that's barely above minimum wage. Often, the salary a newscaster earns is based upon the the size of the market the newscaster works in, paired with experience and popularity, which is tabulated via television ratings. As such, a news anchor salary or reporter salary is generally determined by market size and corresponding advertising rates.
Job Description
Television and radio market sizes are determined by the population of the cities in which they operate. Typically, newscasters in small, and even in mid-sized markets are responsible for working double duty as writers and reporters, in which they help generate the news copy they read on the air, or produce into recorded segments called "packages." Newscasters may also have producing oversight, in which they work with assignment editors to determine stories and news items to cover, as well as shape the direction of story angles. When air time arrives, television newscasters are responsible for looking professional on air, reading stories, bantering with co-hosts and keeping the program on track. They may also conduct live interviews, introduce news segments, and in some instances, report from the field.
Education Requirements
A bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism is typically the minimum entry into the field of broadcasting. Having knowledge or education in a field related to the topic the reporter is covering is can also be an asset. For example, a business reporter who has a business degree will have more credibility than a business reporter who is without a business degree. The salary of a news anchor may also be determined based on the anchor's educational credentials.
Newscasters may work in commercial, network, cable, or in public television or radio stations. They may work via podcast, for an online news services or even with in-house corporate news networks. Newscasters may also find employment as correspondents in which they represent a certain part of the country or world, or as freelancers, going on assignment or pitching newsworthy events to cover.
Years of Experience
Moving up the ranks as a newscaster is often a combination of experience and luck. Journalists who are exceptional writers and who communicate well, have a trustworthy image and good contacts often are promoted through the ranks because of their reputations. A strong following can translate into higher ratings, which, in turn, determines the advertising rates that broadcast companies can charge. Newscasters who help draw big-money advertising often have more room to negotiate their salary.
 - 0-5 years: $26,351 - $82,910
 - 5-10 years:
 $34,731 - $120,429
 * 10-20 years:
 $39,823 - $149,987
 * Over 20 years: $42,525 - $196,127
Job Growth Trends
According to the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook, jobs in the newscasting and announcing fields are anticipated to decline at a rate of approximately nine percent through 2026. The decrease in job availability is tied to an overall trend in media consumption, which is primarily online. Top TV anchor salary ranges will likely be earned by those with experience.

C-TRAN has used Bus on Shoulder lanes since they were first implemented in Clark County in 2017. The concept allows transit vehicles to use the shoulder of a given corridor to bypass traffic during times of heavy congestion. It creates faster travel times for buses and more reliable transit service for our region's commuters.
There are limitations:
- For a bus to use the shoulder, the overall speed of traffic must be less than 35 mph.
- While using the shoulder, buses are only allowed to go up to 15 mph faster than other traffic, to a maximum speed of 35 mph.
- Priority for shoulder use is always given to emergency vehicles, stalls or breakdowns.
Bus-only shoulder lanes are currently in use on three freeway corridors in the region: State Route 14, Interstate 5 and Interstate 205.
State Route 14
Location: SR 14 between SE 164th Avenue and Interstate 205, Vancouver
Direction: Eastbound and westbound
Primary C-TRAN routes on corridor: 41, 65, 67, 164
Location: I-5 between 99th Street and the Interstate Bridge, Vancouver
Primary C-TRAN routes on corridor: 105, 134, 157, 199
Location: I-205 across the Glenn Jackson Bridge, Vancouver/Portland
Direction: Northbound and southbound
Primary C-TRAN routes on corridor: 65, 67, 164, 177

If a prototype tablet PC that debuted at this month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas ever gets produced in volume and becomes the next big thing in portable consumer computing, we'll be back to laying out sheets of paper on a desk. Except a lot of data will be stored in each sheet, and the sheets will be communicating with one another.
The PaperTab flexible tablet splits a tablet's windows into separate sheets of electronic paper. Developed at the Human Media Lab of Canada's Queen's University in collaboration with Plastic Logic and Intel Labs, the conceptual device should probably be called PaperWindow, since each sheet serves as an app window.
The device runs on the Intel Core i5 processor and is based on flexible plastic transistor technology and 10.7-inch display touchscreen technology developed by Plastic Logic, a company known for its research in plastic transistors and flexible displays. (We've discussed this company before.)
The PaperTab flexible tablet PC splits a tablet's windows into separate sheets of user-editable electronic paper that store a lot of data and communicate with one another.
(Source: Human Media Lab, Queen's University)
Instead of cramming separate windows on to a single small display, the PaperTab system spreads them out on a physical desk. In a video demonstrating the conceptual device, the displays appear to plug into a box under the desk. Users can have 10 or more "interactive displays," or one per app in active use, that communicate with each other and transmit data through an undefined medium. The idea is to make it easier to work with multiple documents and multiple apps.
The process is similar to opening a window on a regular tablet or notebook PC. When the user picks up a PaperTab, it switches to a full-screen page view. Moving it farther away makes it revert to a thumbnail overview of a document, and when it's beyond reaching distance, it displays icons. Users can navigate through multiple pages within a single PaperTab document by bending one side of the display: one side for forward, the other for backward. Users can also place two or more PaperTabs next to each other to form a larger drawing or display surface, edit its contents, or enter data.
The video shows someone using two PaperTab: one blank and one showing PDF icons. The user hits an icon on one PaperTab with the blank PaperTab to open a particular document. To open an email, the user hits the email inbox on one PaperTab with an empty PaperTab, which is then bent to open a reply window. The user writes on the reply window with a touchscreen keyboard. The user can also create a larger view of a drawing by placing two PaperTabs side by side and then dragging an image from one to the other.

There is some evidence that dietary factors may modify the risk of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin, but the association between food intake and SCC has not been evaluated prospectively. We examined the association between food intake and SCC incidence among 1,056 randomly selected adults living in an Australian sub-tropical community. Measurement-error corrected estimates of intake in 15 food groups were defined from a validated food frequency questionnaire in 1992. Associations with SCC risk were assessed using Poisson and negative binomial regression to the persons affected and tumour counts, respectively, based on incident, histologically confirmed tumours occurring between 1992 and 2002. After multivariable adjustment, none of the food groups was significantly associated with SCC risk. Stratified analysis in participants with a past history of skin cancer showed a decreased risk of SCC tumours for high intakes of green leafy vegetables (RR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.22-0.91; p for trend = 0.02) and an increased risk for high intake of unmodified dairy products (RR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.15-5.54; p for trend = 0.03). Food intake was not associated with SCC risk in persons who had no past history of skin cancer. These findings suggest that consumption of green leafy vegetables may help prevent development of subsequent SCCs of the skin among people with previous skin cancer and that consumption of unmodified dairy products, such as whole milk, cheese and yoghurt, may increase SCC risk in susceptible persons.

Gene Likens recently co-authored an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) addressing the challenges of untangling climate change impacts from other factors in forests. In assessing a major drop in nitrate loss from the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), it was revealed that past disturbances, such as logging, must be included.
Located in New Hampshire, the HBEF hosts hundreds of long-term studies that comprise the most complete record of climate and watershed dynamics in the world. Analyzing long-term data on nitrogen, Likens and colleagues found that nitrate concentrations in streams are at a 46-year low, and nitrate loss from the watershed has decreased by 90%.
In identifying the mechanisms responsible for this change, variables such as airborne nitrogen pollution, climate change, and disturbance were assessed. Logging emerged as the biggest factor driving the shift in nitrogen dynamics. After extensive timbering in the White Mountains in the early 1900s, nitrate loss hit a high point in the 1970s, but now is steadily declining as the forest recovers.
The authors caution that, since forest ecosystems need centuries to rebalance from historical disturbances, scientists need to scrutinize their baseline data to separate such effects from climate change markers.

Fouling in hydroprocessing heat exchangers and furnaces can differ depending on which streams are processed, the quality of the stream (straight run or cracked feed stock – or a combination of both), unit design and operation, and location. When processing lighter streams such as naphtha and diesel, the foulant materials that occur at the feed heat exchangers and furnace may be a combination of polymeric and inorganic deposition. In the case of processing heavier gas oil cuts and resid streams, the foulant material may be some combination of polynuclear aromatic compounds, asphaltenes and inorganic material, depending on the stream.
Nalco Water research teams have developed technologies and approaches to investigate the causes of the fouling, monitor the degree of the fouling and identify the chemistries needed to minimise the chemical reactions that are causing fouling to occur. The Nalco Water Longrun™ programme combines our technologies and strategies to optimise your approach and quantify your successful treatment.
