Online Poker Game Combination Chances
Online Poker Game Combination Chances – Next, we will provide reliable articles that we have summarized and made as light as possible, so that they can be read by all groups, along with the combination opportunities in playing poker gambling games.
Games are one of the favorites of the type of card game used for betting idnplay. The reason is that compared to other games, dominoes can be said more easily. but when viewed from the advantages, of course, it is not inferior to other games. But to be able to reach the target, you must bring the ideal provision.
Online Poker Game Combination Chances
Among the abilities that must be possessed by bettors is an understanding of log cards. There are 28 cards used in domino games. From each card there are dots from no dots to a total of 12 points. Meanwhile, the way to calculate it is just to add it and take the number behind it.
Suppose the first card has 5 dots and the second card has 6 dots. So both cards will be scored as 1, the result of the sum of 5 + 6 = 11. After knowing how to count it, you can easily estimate which card is needed to meet your target to get a score of 9 or Qiu. This is where the importance of reading Game odds and potential emerges in addition to basic math skills.
Chance of Obtaining Qiu Combination
Suppose the first three Game cards you get are 2-4, 4-1, 5-3. So, in total, there are 6, 5, and 8. To get a value of 9 in one of them, here are the odds:
Card 8.
a combination of three cards is 1 – 8, the result is 6 + 5 = 11 = 1 and 8. If there is an 8 card then the combination formed is 9-8. Where out of a total of 28 log cards, there are only 3, namely 3-5, 4-4, and 6-2. The odds of eight after reducing your hand (28-3 = 25) are 3: 25.
Card 6.
Where the total number is 4, namely 3-3, 2-4, 5-1, 6-0. A combination of 3 cards can be used using 8 + 5 = 13 = 3 and 5. If you add 4 cards, the combination that can be formed is 9-5. So for this combination the odds are 4: 25.
Card 4.
The combination of 3 cards is 6+ 8 = 14 = 4 and 5. If you add 5 it will result in 9-5. Where there are 3, namely 2-3, 1-4, and 0-5 with odds of 3-25.
Of the three potentials, the highest value is the first, namely 9-8 with a greater potential. this is what you are targeting first. But if you don't get the card you should be the best option. The safest thing is, of course, from the 3 initial cards there is already a number 9, and card 4 should not damage this combination of 9.…

Not Using Random Bet
Random bet or bet randomly is also very influential on online slot gambling games. Especially in the middle of the bet. Which you cannot stay in just one nominal bet value. But by increasing and decreasing the installation value randomly. With this, the slot machine system will find it difficult to read the movements of your playing style.…


Kingdom Values
The Gospel of Jesus was never intended to be something that only affected life after death.
His message of good news is for the life in this world and the life in the eternity.
The Gospel is about the eternal relationship of human with God that begins right now in this world itself.
Relationship with God
Relationships are based on what you have in common with another person.
To find out what we have common with another, we must understand what the other person values in his life.
A person is the sum total of the values he keeps in his life.
Depending on an agreement and unity with the other, the relationship deepens.
That means, a deeper and meaningful relationship between two persons depends on what they hold in common as important and valuable.

Divine, Father, c.1882–1965, African-American religious leader, founder of the Peace Mission movement, b. probably near Savannah, Ga. and named George Baker. After preaching in the South, he moved to Harlem (1915) in New York City, became one of the neighborhood's biggest landlords, acquired wealth through other businesses, including restaurants and grocery stores, and began styling himself Major M. J. Divine, later Father Divine. Although once dismissed as a cult leader, he built the largest religious movement in northern ghettos during the Great Depression. His role as an early civil-rights activist—he led antilynching campaigns, instituted economic cooperatives, and organized political action against racial discrimination—has come to be more appreciated. The movement spread beyond New York City to other places in the United States and abroad, sometimes after the group sent whites to purchase property in segregated areas. During the 1940s, his health and influence declined, but his movement symbolized the progressive spirit in the black church and helped define the church's active role in the civil-rights movement.
See S. Harris, Father Divine (rev. ed. 1971); K. E. Burnham, God Comes to America (1979); R. Weisbrot, Father Divine (1984); J. Watts, God, Harlem U.S.A. (1992).

Top Things Remembered From A Sermon
Isn't the Church Sermon great? After all, they are a chance to sleep, write silly blog posts, make paper aeroplanes, order pizza, hear and learn Gods wisdom through the study of his word. But the challenge for anyone giving the sermon in church is to ensure they get, and keep peoples attention*. Even the most charismatic of preachers cant stop everyone from being distracted from the sermon they are giving.
We asked a group of people what they were distracted by remembered from sermons over the last month.
 1. That noisy baby / toddler perfectly positioned behind your good ear.
 2. That coughing fit the old dear sitting near you had. Leading you to spend the rest of the service, keeping an eye on her, whilst trying to remember your fist aid training.
 3. The person behind you spilling their glass of water ALL over the place.
 4. Being distracted by calculating the flat surface a full glass of water can cover, once spilt.
 5. The plans for Sunday Roast your head came up with, only two minutes into the sermon.
 6. The last time you heard that illustration.
 7. Wondering if last weeks preacher was funnier.
 8. When you played the game of "Guessing the age of the guest speaker from the clues dropped in their sermon."
 9. The first and third times when a children's worker appeared, and you wondered if it was your child that was upset.
 10. That moment of hope when the preacher said "I'll close on this point"
*Yes we are aware that there are other things, such as being theologically sound, hearing from God, etc…
What do you remember from your last sermon?


Police in Brazil Killed Record Amount of People in 2020
An average of 17 people a day, totaling at least 6,416 people, were killed by police in Brazil during the year of 2020. These staggering totals set the highest amount ever recorded since tracking police killings in the country of over 211 million people. The 2020 numbers, compiled by the Brazilian Public Security Forum, are a 190% increase from 2013. Black Brazilians were killed at the highest rate, accounting for 79% of the deaths by police while only representing 56% of the population.
Non-profit Brazilian Public Security Forum released the data in their annual Brazilian Yearbook of Public Security which analyzes information provided by state, public security, civil, military, and federal police, among other sources. Over 11,000 people were killed by police during the five-year period of 2009-2013, averaging around 2,240 killings a year by police.
The vast majority of the families of those killed by police never receive justice and the lack of accountability has led to the Human Rights Watch seeking a dedicated prosecutorial body, not directly connected to the police, to handle cases of police abuse.
Large criminal organizations controlling swaths of heavily populated Brazilian cities are deeply connected to security forces controlled by the military and state and draw their roots from the two decades of Brazilian military dictatorship that ended in 1985. Evidence shows police involvement in criminal factions, militias, and death squads, like those linked to President Jair Bolsonaro's family that killed Marielle Franco in 2018, a human rights advocate and politician. These connections have helped to fuel the rise in police killings and allow for little accountability.

In the state of Rio de Janeiro, well known worldwide for its city with the same name, beautiful beaches and its nightlife, police killed 1,245 people in 2020. Based on the population of the state, one in every 12,851 residents are killed by police. Comparatively, police killed 1,126 people in the U.S. in 2020, which is one in every 291,296 residents. According to research collective Mapping Police Violence, of the 1,126 killed by U.S. police last year, 28% were Black, despite the Black population being only 13% of the total country.
Ultimately, the numbers from Brazil are staggering in comparison to the U.S. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, the police are 2,167 times more likely to kill you in than in the U.S.

The state of Rio de Janeiro also recorded seven of the top ten cities with the highest rates of police violence: Japeri, Itaguaí, Angra dos Reis, São Gonçalo, Queimados, Mesquita and Belford Roxo.
Those killings have continued in 2021, despite the Federal Supreme Court (STF) prohibiting police raids in the favelas (ADFP 635) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In late March 2021, Rio de Janeiro resident, Thainã de Meideiros, told Unicorn Riot that although ordered to stop raids, the police keep "coming up with excuses" to violate the legislative ruling.
Meideiros is part of the Papo Reto Collective, an organization focused on human rights, culture, harm reduction, health, and education in Complexo do Alemão, a large group of favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
Papo Reto was among a coalition of other collectives, including Black movement groups and those ran by mothers and relatives of lost loved ones from the favelas, as the initial groups to conjure up the motions that the STF ruled upon, the ADPF 635, or 'ADPF of the Favelas'. Setting a historical precedent, with ADPF 635 enacted, these collectives are recognized as amici curiae (advisors with the court based on their special expertise).
An ADPF is a Claim of Non-Compliance with a Fundamental Precept, a lawsuit claiming a violation of the Brazilian constitution by a governmental agency. Citing excessive police violence and new security policies allowing further abuses, the lawsuit was filed by the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) in 2019.
In August 2020, the STF confirmed the claim of non-compliance and ordered the halting of violent police operations. Yet, police operations continued in certain favelas. In April 2021, Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin ruled in favor of requests in the motions and in June 2021, the STF issued an emergency restraining order on the police.
In short, it is proposed that the State of Rio de Janeiro prepare and submit to the STF, within a maximum period of 90 (ninety) days, a plan aimed at reducing police lethality and controlling human rights violations by the security forces in Rio de Janeiro, which contains objective measures, specific timetables and forecast of the necessary resources for its implementation. In addition, ADPF 635 addresses the following topics: end of the use of helicopters in police operations, protection of schools, guarantee of the right to participation and social control in public security policies, allowing participation and access to justice, expertise, and evidence to civil society and social movements as one of the main tools in resolving investigations into cases of murder and enforced disappearances.
ADPF 635 – Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro
Enforcing the 'ADPF of the Favelas' has, however, proven difficult after the STF ruling. Civil and military police made what many deem as reprisal killings in several districts to show they don't answer to the courts. Prosecutors have also been overruling Access to Information laws and making police records inaccessible to the public. For a deeper look into ADPF 635, see RioOnWatch's two part installment: 1, 2.
Meideiros lives in Complexo do Alemão, Rio de Janeiro, which has seen its share of military and police occupations and terror. Three months before STF ordered the suspension of police operations, 13 people were killed by police in one operation in Complexo do Alemão.
Just 15 minutes away from Alemão is Jacarezinho, Rio de Janeiro. On May 6, 2021, authorities committed the deadliest massacre in Brazilian history, killing 28 people during a failed police operation targeting drug traffickers in the favela. One officer died during the operation that lasted nearly seven hours with many of the 28 deaths occurring execution style.
The police denied wrongdoing, saying there were no irregularities or excesses of abuse. The operation had the initial objective of arresting 21 people under investigation, and led to the death of 28, not all of whom had arrest warrants. Three were arrested in total. This initially led to many organizations and even governmental agencies coming out in defense of the dead and the residents before falling silent with the fear of possible retaliation looming.
Over time, the "massacre" of Jacarezinho has fallen into national oblivion. Despite the murderous raid being so recent, there are almost no media discussions or local or national conversation about the operation anymore. This can likely be attributed to the fact that many peripheral Brazilians (those living in the favelas and peripheries of inner cities) have become desensitized to this type of violence. Decades of military occupations and urban pacification by armed authorities in Brazil have caused widespread cognitive dissonance and mental trauma.
"In no country in the world would the 28 deaths in one police intervention have been accepted and forgotten. But, we are in Brazil and here everything ends up in samba and/or pizza.
Anonymous Brazilian
Beyond Rio de Janeiro, there were over 5,000 more people killed by police throughout the country last year, including 814 killed in São Paulo. In lower-income territories, police abusing their authority is common and mistrust occurs between them and the community they serve.

Due to continuing police killings, many states are taking steps in attempts to reduce the number of deaths. A total of 18 police battalions in the state of São Paulo now have body cameras. This has resulted in a 53% reduction in the amount of police killings in the state and in June 2021 no one was killed by officers outfitted with cameras. Yet, military police not outfitted with cameras killed 22 that month.
Even with the new measures starting to be enacted to quell police terror throughout the country, already 6,160 people in Brazil have been killed as of September 7, 2021; pacing the country for another record-setting year of police killings.

If you haven't been to the Raise the Roof exhibit at the Science Museum of Virginia, you don't know what you're missing. It's an interactive exhibit for kids of all ages right here in Richmond, VA. It's also engaging and entertaining for parents, grandparents, and all adults.
A tour of the exhibit with Nancy Tait, Manager of Communications and Stories at the Museum, gave me an inside view of the exhibit.
Raise the Roof offers hands-on experimentation with:
- Creating a structure
- Constructing a dome using simple machines
- Stepping into the world of Mongolian culture in a yurt
- Building your own trusses and testing tension, compression, and gravity
This incredible exhibit offers an opportunity to learn more about steel, concrete, and glass and how they come together to create massive structures. There are lessons about wind velocity and the effects of storms and natural disasters on buildings. They show how properly designed structures can withstand these natural elements.
An exciting part of the exhibit is seeing how experts are able to implode buildings. They include a demonstration of how explosives are meticulously placed throughout walls and structures to bring a building down on itself - without touching neighboring structures.
Kids will enjoy the many interactive elements of the exhibit where they can build a doghouse to withstand elements of weather. They can also build their own structures using Kapla blocks. These unique blocks are intended to be stacked and remain in place thanks to gravity. They do not have snaps or interlocking parts and are not meant to be used with glue. Kids build all types of structures with these wooden blocks.

Violent Tornado Causes Catastrophic Damage in Moore, Oklahoma
Posted: 12:00 PM EDT on May 21, 2013
A massive and violent tornado at least a mile wide smashed through Moore, Oklahoma near 3 pm CDT Monday, causing catastrophic damage along a 22-mile long path. The National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma has rated the tornado at least an EF-4 (166 - 200 mph winds), and detailed damage surveys may upgrade this rating to the top-end EF-5 level in the coming days. Damage was extreme and covered a huge area, and many buildings swept away down to their foundations.

Did you know that...
Even though everything on Earth experiences the effects of Coriolis, it is still very hard to explain. Basically, the force is an effect of motion on a rotating body (such as Earth) and it is one factor that determines wind direction. On this date in 1792, Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis, the first to describe the Coriolis force, was born.

Part 2: Selecting your P(ersonal) drugs
This section teaches you how to choose your personal selection of drugs (called P-drugs). It explains the principles of drug selection and how to use them in practice. Chapter 2 explains why you should develop your own list of P-drugs. It also tells you how not to do it. Chapter 3 gives a detailed example of selecting P-drugs in a rational way. Chapter 4 provides the theoretical model with some critical considerations, and summarizes the process. Chapter 5 describes the difference between P-drug and P-treatment: not all health problems need treatment with drugs.
When selecting your P-drugs you may need to revise some of the basic principles of pharmacology, which are summarized in Annex 1.

During the rainy season in the African bushveld, water collects in small pans which may have been started by an indentation as small as a single elephant footprint. Soils with a high clay content are conducive to forming long lasting mud-wallows, as rain water doesn't drain well from this type of ground. Wallows created in sandy soil will dry out relatively quickly.
Mud-wallows (and their nearby rubbing posts), are found throughout the bushveld, their length of existence directly dependent on the number of animals visiting them on a daily basis.
The semi-permanent waterholes we see spread throughout the Sabi Sabi Reserve today might have initially started as mud-wallows, the pans becoming deeper and bigger the more regularly they are used.
Particular wallows are not "owned" by any territorial animals but are often favoured by specific species or herds.
Mud-wallows are used by a variety of animals for a number of reasons. The animals which wallow are generally those which have sparse hair and few sweat glands on their hides, species such as Cape buffalo, black & white rhino, warthogs and elephants.
These animals often stir up the mud with their feet, horns or snouts before getting down for a roll.
Wallowing acts as a cooling method. Warthog and buffalo spend time lying in mud-wallows to reduce their body temperature. Rhinos will cover their bodies in mud for the same reason, thereafter retreating to a shady area out of the sun.
Elephants too need the cooling effect of mud to regulate their body temperature and will often submerge themselves in water before their mud or sand bath.
For all of these species the mud also acts both as a protection against sunburn and to provide relief from biting insects.
A wallow in a muddy puddle is normally followed by a good scratch against a strong rubbing post. This removes ticks and other skin parasites which become embedded in the mud.
A rubbing post can be a tree, a rock, or sometimes even a termite mound. Much used rubbing posts can eventually become very
smooth and shiny and are easy to identify.
On many occasions, antelope such as tsessebe, blesbok, hartebeest and blue wildebeest have been seen to participate in a display called'mud-packing', a practice in which males throw mud with their horns to intimidate their rivals. This mud is not acquired by wallowing, but by "horning" the ground. The mud on their horns makes the antelope look quite formidable, and may have the added effect of deterring predators.
At Sabi Sabi, guests are often treated to the sight of animals, if not actually rolling with great enjoyment in their mud bath, walking through the bush with distinctive muddy "high tide" marks on their bodies - evidence of their recent activity.

Chance, Order, Change 13 (Milton Park A) 1980 Chance, Order, Change 13
(Milton Park A) 1980
'The elementary methods of construction are related to the elements of life, the forces of life... Life is variable and inevitable, recurrent and developable. For the individual it is essentially tragic.'
Whether working as a painter or as a sculptor, Kenneth Martin (1905-84) saw his art as a product of time. He resisted any idea of the artist as the 'Almighty', pushing things around at will, and preferred to initiate a sequence of events and observe the changes and eventual outcome. Fascinated by the way movement can create form, he constructed mobiles which combined the implied movement of spirals with actual revolution. Frequently he used given systems such as the Fibonacci series or pendulum permutations but in the late '60s he introduced chance as an active partner in the rules he set for each work. This exhibition combines the Chance and Order paintings and drawings of his last fifteen years with the earlier Screw Mobiles and other related works. Together they demonstrate Kenneth Martin's position as one of the liveliest and most inventive constructive artists of the 20th century.
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with Annely Juda Fine Art, London.

In the November 2, 2012, Capital Commentary published by the Center for Public Justice, Paul Brink, associate professor of political science, offers a Christian perspective on why and how to vote.
How Should We Vote?
By Paul Brink
First of all, we should vote. I join others in saying that to vote is actually part of our Christian calling. Given the responsibility of the state to pursue justice, the chief goal of democracy is not to give citizens the right to determine the state's purpose, as secular justifications for democracy might suggest. Rather, when citizens vote, they share with their fellow citizens the duty to discern and pursue together justice and the common good. This is a responsibility we may not ignore. It's a remarkable privilege—and a daunting one.

CultureUnited Arab Emirates
Sometimes a city's biggest secret is hidden in its name. But take a closer look at the names of these famous metropoles and all will be revealed!
In Arabic, the name of the capital of the United Arab Emirates means 'Father of the Gazelle', most likely in reference to the animals that populate the emirate.
You don't need to dig too deep to find the meaning behind the name Amsterdam. It refers to the 'dam' on which the city was constructed along the River Amstel. So literally translated, Amsterdam means 'the dam of the Amstel'.
It only takes a basic knowledge of Greek mythology to find the origin of the name of Greece's capital city. The goddess of wisdom, war and craft was called Athena.
The old name for this French city was Burdigala. By chopping the word up, we find the words 'burd' (muddy) and 'gala' (creek). So the name Bordeaux would originally have meant 'the creek in the marshes or wetlands'.
Dubai was named for a type of grasshopper, or locust, which thrives in this desert region. Its Arabic name is 'dibba'.

University of Kansas researchers found that people with a particular heart rhythm problem saw a reduction in their symptoms while practicing yoga.
A new study shows yoga can help with an irregular heartbeat.
Researchers at the University of Kansas found that people with a particular heart rhythm problem saw a reduction in their symptoms while practicing yoga.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs when the heart's upper chamber shakes instead of contracting normally, reported Forbes.
The participants did yoga for three months during the study.
The patients saw a significant reduction in the recurrences of the heart episodes.
About 20 percent of those who had an episode in the control period had no episode while practicing yoga, said HealthDay.
"These findings underscore the therapeutic value of a low-cost non-invasive therapy such as yoga to effectively complement the conventional treatment strategies in improving atrial fibrillation patient care," wrote the study authors, according to MedPage Today.
"Given the high prevalence of [the condition] and costs of conventional therapy, the public health relevance of these findings is very pertinent."
Yoga can have relaxing effects on the nervous system.
It can also lower the heart rate and reduce blood pressure.
The findings were published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.


Fermi Level Pinning at GaN-interfaces: Correlation of electrical admittance and transient spectroscopy
In GaN layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy as well as metal organic vapor phase epitaxy significant differences were found in the appearance of deep defects detected by thermal admittance spectroscopy as compared for deep level transient spectroscopy measurements. While, thermal admittance spectroscopy measurements which were made under zero bias conditions only show thermal emissions at activation energies between 130 and 170 meV, further deep levels existing in these GaN layers were evidenced by transient spectrocopy. This discrepancy is explained by a pinning effect of the Fermi level at the metal / GaN interface induced by high a concentration of the deep levels showing up in thermal admittance spectroscopy. We compare our results with a GaAs:Te Schottkydiode as a refernec sample. Here, both spectroscopic methods give exactly the same deep level emissions.
Gallium nitride is an attractive base material for novel applications in optoelectronics as UV-laser diodes, LED's and UV detectors and for high power, high frequency and high temperature electronics /1 /. However, this high potential for new devices can only be used if the properties of ohmic and Schottky contacts are well controlled. On the other hand, there are some indications for the influence of deep defects located at the surface of the GaN layer on the contact properties. In GaN pn-junctions for example the dominant current mechanisms are the thermionic emission over a barrier and a tunnelling process via deep levels in the interface regions /2,3 /.
In this work, we investigated deep defects in the space charge region of a Schottky contact on intentionally undoped, n-type GaN layers using thermal admittance spectroscopy (TAS) and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS).
The samples were grown both on (0001) oriented sapphire substrates using metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and by plasma induced molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The growth conditions are described in detail in /4 / and /5 /. All samples are nominally undoped or Si-doped and show n-type conductivity with carrier concentrations in the range between 5×1016 and 1017 cm−3 determined by Hall effect measurements. Before metallization, the GaN surfaces were cleaned with organic solvents in an ultrasonic bath and etched with HF and HCL. The ohmic contacts were formed by evaporating a 100nm thick Al layer followed by an annealing step at 500°C in nitrogen athmosphere. A 100nm thick Pt layer deposited by magnetron sputtering was commonly used as Schottky contact. Both contacts were arranged on the GaN layer and have a diameter of 750µm. The distance between the metal layers was 1mm.
We carried out C-V measurements, admittance spectroscopy (AS) and thermal admittance spectroscopy in the frequency range between 20Hz and 1MHz and at temperatures between 80K and 400K using a high precision LCR meter HP4284A and a liquid-nitrogen flow cryostat. For both, AS and TAS measurements the capacitance and the conductance were measured as a function of frequency and temperature (fore more details see /7/). If the resistance of the neutral bulk region of the samples is not negligible a serial circuit model of the complex impedance was used for analysis (see /6/).
In addition, we performed DLTS measurements at a frequency of 1MHz using the capacitance meter Boonton 7200 and a pulse generator HP8110A. The capacitance transients were recorded via a fast A/D converter with a time resolution of 1µs and analyzed by the boxcar method. DLTS measurements at lower frequencies were made at Schottky contacts which break down at frequencies below 1MHz. In this case, the transients were measured using the LCR meter HP4284A with a minimal time step of 300ms in the boxcare method.
Results and Discussion
The Pt Schottky contacts on GaN layers show barrier heights up to 0.95eV determined by C-V-spectroscopy at frequencies between 50kHz and 1MHz. This barrier is slightly lower than the 1.04eV found in /8 /. The net donor concentrations were in the range of 5×1016 to 5×1017 cm−3 determined by C-V-characteristics and by Hall effect measurements at room temperature.
In generally, we can distinguish two different categories of Schottky contacts as represented by the samples #1 and #2 in Fig. 1. Sample #1 shows only a little variation in the conductance spectrum for different bias voltages which is caused by a small Schottky barrier. Furthermore, the contact breaks down at relatively low frequencies of about 5×104 s−1 resulting in a completely bias independent conductivity and capacitance above this frequency. The other group shows larger barrier heights resulting in a stronger influence of the bias on the conductance (sample #2 in Fig. 1). The rectifying behavior of this contact vanished at higher frequencies of about 106 s−1.
Fig. 1:
(Left) Admittance spectra of two MOVPE-grown GaN samples at different bias voltages. (Right) Histogram of the GaN surface morphology measured by atomic force microscopy for both samples #1 and #2.
These different properties of the contacts were correlated with the surface roughness measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM),which is shown on the right side of Fig. 1. The significant difference between both samples becomes visible. Sample #2 exhibits a sharp distribution of low height spikes equivalent to a nearly perfect flat surface. In contrast, the AFM measurements of sample #1 revealed a rough surface with a broad distribution of heights. Obviously Schottky contacts on a smooth surface exhibit better rectifying properties and break down at higher frequencies.
This effect can be explained by a lowering of the Schottky barrier caused by fluctuations in the spatial distribution of the barrier heights as discussed in /9 /. Additionally, the frequency dependence of the breakdown behavior and the structure of the admittance spectra suggest that there is a recharging process of deep defects at the interface involved. Both samples in Fig. 1 show shoulders and peaks in the breakdown region. These peaks are caused by deep defects and were already described in /6 /.
Independent of the surface morphology and the growth technique deep defects appear in the TAS spectra at activation energies of (130-140) meV (T1) and (150-170) meV (T2). The TAS-data on the left side of Fig. 2 shows typical TAS spectra of two MBE and two MOVPE grown GaN layers, respectively. These emissions dominate the whole TAS spectrum evidencing the high concentrations of the corresponding defects. They are probably located in the vicinity of the surface because all TAS measurements were made at zero voltage causing the lowest expansion of the space charge region.
Fig. 2:
(Left) TAS spectra of different GaN samples grown by MOVPE (#1 and #2) and by MBE (#3 and #4), respectively, at a modulation frequency of 10kHz and under zero bias condition. The resulting activation energies are 130-140meV for T1 and 150-170meV for T2, respectively. (Right) DLTS-spectra of the MBE samples #3 and #4 at 100kHz (LF-DLTS) and at 1MHz (HF-DLTS). The corresponding emission rates are en = 36.1 s−1 for the HF-DLTS spectrum and en = 0.4 s−1 for the LF-DLTS, respectively.
While the TAS measurements exclusively detect these defects T1 and T2, further deep traps exist in the investigated samples verified by DLTS measurements at 1MHz (HF-DLTS) and at lower frequencies (LF-DLTS). These DLTS spectra are shown in Fig. 2 on the right side. The thermal activation energies of the defects are 240±30meV for D2, 630meV for D3, and 860meV for D4, respectively. The observed traps are already known from the literature (see for example /10/) and were discussed as intrinsic defects.
It is important to point out, that in the TAS spectra of these GaN layers only one single trap emission appears, while DLTS measurements performed at the same samples reveals the whole deep level spectrum with several trap emissions. The presented discrepancies between the both spectroscopic methods result from the recharging processes of the defects during the distinct measurements.
In TAS the deep defects were recharged around the Fermi level near the thermodynamical equilibrium. Commonly, the Fermi level shifts with increasing temperature to the mid gap region and ionizes the various defect states with respect to their thermal activation energy. Therefore, the whole deep level spectrum should be obtained. However, if the Fermi level is pinned at the activation energy of a dominant level with high concentration, the Fermi level cannot shift and ionize of further defects becomes inhibited. As a result, the TAS spectrum only shows the recharging process of this one defect state, responsible for the pinning effect. Because the signals under zero bias conditions originate from a region near the interface the TAS spectra show the emissions from traps near the interface Fermi level. Therefore we conclude that the Fermi level is pinned in the near of the interface due to high concentrations of the specific deep defects T1 and T2.
In contrast, the DLTS measurements are only possible for Schottky diodes with high barriers


text: The study of intuition and its relation to thoughtful reasoning is a burgeoning research topic in psychology and beyond. While the area has the potential to radically transform our conception of the mind and decision making, the procedures used for establishing empirical conclusions have often been vaguely formulated and obscure. This book fills a gap in the field by providing a range of methods for exploring intuition experimentally and thereby enhancing the collection of new data. The book begins by summarizing current challenges in the study of intuition and gives a new foundation for intuition research. Going beyond classical dual-process models, a new scheme is introduced to classify the different types of processes usually collected under the label of intuition. These new classifications range from learning approaches to complex cue integration models. The book then goes on to describe the wide variety of behavioural methods available to investigate these processes, including information search tracing, think aloud protocols, maximum likelihood methods, eye-tracking, and physiological and non-physiological measures of affective responses. It also discusses paradigms to investigate implicit associations and causal intuitions, video-based approaches to expert research, methods to induce specific decision modes as well as questionnaires to assess individual preferences for intuition or deliberation. By uniquely providing the basis for exploring intuition by introducing the different methods and their applications in a step-by-step manner, this text is an invaluable reference for individual research projects. It is also very useful as a course book for advanced decision making courses, and could inspire experimental explorations of intuition in psychology, behavioural economics, empirical legal studies and clinical decision making.

June 25, 1998 PASCO, Wash., June 19 -- People who love kippers for breakfast, smoked salmon on their bagels, and caviar on their canapés, should welcome news of a new technique that could help to assure these delicacies contain precisely the right amount of salt. Researchers at Eastern Oregon University, La Grande, report that a new technique offers fish processors a safer and more economical way to assess how much salt they should use in the drying or smoking process. Salt content is not only crucial to the way fish tastes, but also is an important safety factor, since salt prevents the growth of bacteria in the roe and in the adult fish. Researcher Todd M. Rogers described the new method here today at the Northwest Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society.
The researchers are using a machine--called a near infrared spectrophotometer--that analyzes the salt content of the fish to be processed while the fish are still alive. Traditionally, processors have had to kill the fish, grind up a portion of the meat or roe, and use a chemical method to measure salt content, thereby wasting part of the product. The spectrophotometer incorporates an optical-fiber probe that touches the scales of the living fish and records the volume of water and fat, which are known to be proportionate to salt content, in the meat or roe. Knowing the precise amount of salt already present in the fish, food processors can add the amount needed to meet safety standards and, at the same time, avoid sending overly salted products to the marketplace.

You are in competition for an ideal client. You have reviewed the client's information, goals and objectives. You have laid out a financial plan for the prospect that is technically impeccable. In your eyes it blows away your competitor. But in the end, the prospect decides to do business elsewhere.
Almost every advisor has experienced a similar scenario. Why does it happen? Because in the financial services business, prospects do not always select advisors based upon their technical skill s or investing proficiency. They are often selected based upon their skill as a communicator. Advisors who have the ability to convey strategies and concepts to clients in a simple, easy-to-understand manner have a real competitive advantage.
In the upcoming years advisors can expect this reality to become even more apparent. As the baby boomer demographic has begun to reach retirement, advisors are realizing that providing solutions for income distribution is markedly more complex than investing for accumulation. This leads to more complex conversations with prospects around difficult concepts. It has never been more important for advisors to hone and enhance their skills as communicators and teachers.
A powerful communication skill is the ability to use analogies to help listeners more readily understand critical concepts. For the purpose of this discussion an analogy may be broadly defined to include a simile, metaphor, visual aid, real or fictional story. Analogies often paint vivid mental images that more easily connect with a prospect's emotions. They also serve as a powerful memory aid to help prospects remember a main point long after they leave your office.
Those advisors who can communicate by using vivid and memorable analogies will find they have a distinct advantage in closing prospects and helping clients understand complex financial concepts.
Types of Analogies
Similes and Metaphors – Similes are the simplest of all analogies. While comparing two things that are quite different, similes actually highlight something the things have in common. Similes usually will contain the word 'like' or 'as' to make the comparison. For example, when explaining the importance of guaranteed income one might say,
"A retirement income plan without guaranteed income is like skydiving without a parachute."
A metaphor is more forceful and direct than a simile. It speaks as though one thing were another. For example, one might say,
"Guaranteed income is the anchor of your ship."
A well-chosen simile or metaphor allows an advisor to make a point in a way a statement never could and they seldom require additional explanation.
Drawings – Hand drawn pictures are another simple illustrative device. They simplify complex topics without requiring advanced artistic skills.
In their book Story Selling for Financial Advisors: How Top Advisors Sell, Scott West and Mitch Anthony share how Kay Shirley uses a simple illustration (seen at left) to explain the principle of diversification and asset allocation. Drawing the illustration on a whiteboard or notepad, she explains that each box represents an elevator. The lines at the top are elevator cables. She then asks the client, "If you were in an earthquake which elevator you would want to be in?"
Some individuals have a natural gift for storytelling, but others may need to work at it. With preparation and practice, it is a skill almost anyone can develop.
Develop Your List – It is best to begin by identifying a list of the concepts, strategies and teaching points that are commonly used in your business that might benefit from simplification through analogy. Ask yourself:
- What are the top five concepts and strategies I find myself routinely explaining to clients?
- Are there common objections I routinely receive?
- Are there any concepts I personally struggle to explain?
Know Your Audience – In the development of your analogies it is important you know exactly who you're to. A sports analogy might be right up your alley and great for many of your clients, but is it relevant to everyone? Ask yourself what commonalities exist among your clients and prospects. Then when developing analogies think about what would be appropriate for use with the largest number of individuals. You also might think about developing multiple analogies for the same concept so you can use what is most appropriate for different individuals and circumstances.
Develop and Find Analogies – Simple and uncomplicated analogies work best so consider drawing from items to which everyone can easily relate. For example, consider developing analogies based upon the natural world, the weather or the behavior of children. Knowing your audience can also give you a clue where to look to develop a good illustration. If you live in a state where college football is popular and many of your clients are fans, consider what analogies you might draw from the local football program.
Most important, be proactive in your desire to develop this skill. Budget time each week to work on how you can better communicate through illustration and analogy. Brainstorm different ideas. When you read or hear something that would make a good analogy, keep it in a file for easy reference.
- What items from the natural world might I use for an analogy? (Weather, food, animals, children, etc.)
- What interests or commonality do my clients have which would allow me to draw an analogy? (sports, occupational, geographic, etc.)
- What real-life client examples can I use to illustrate a concept?
- Did I read, hear, or see anything today that might be used as an illustration or analogy to help clients more easily understand a concept?
- When can I block a brief period of time each week to work on this skill?
Remember, those advisors who can communicate by using vivid and memorable analogies will find they have a distinct advantage in closing prospects and helping clients understand complex financial concepts.

The measure of an angle is determined by the amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side. One way to measure an angle is in terms of degrees. A measure of one degree () is equivalent to a rotation of of a complete revolution.
To measure angles, it is convenient to mark degrees on the circumference of a circle. Thus, a complete revolution is, half a revolution is, a quarter of a revolution is and so forth.

Ironbridge is known throughout the world as the symbol of the Industrial Revolution. It contains all the elements of progress that contributed to the rapid development of this industrial region in the 18th century, from the mines themselves to the railway lines. Nearby, the blast furnace of Coalbrookdale, built in 1708, is a reminder of the discovery of coke. The bridge at Ironbridge, the world's first bridge constructed of iron, had a considerable influence on developments in the fields of technology and architecture.
Statement of Significance
The Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage property covers an area of 5.5 km2 (550ha) and is located in Telford, Shropshire, approximately 50km north-west of Birmingham. The Industrial Revolution had its 18th century roots in the Ironbridge Gorge before spreading across the world, bringing with it some of the most far-reaching changes in human history.
The site incorporates a 5km length of the steep-sided, mineral-rich Severn Valley from a point immediately west of Ironbridge downstream to Coalport, together with two smaller river valleys extending northwards to Coalbrookdale and Madeley.
The Ironbridge Gorge offers a powerful insight into the origins of the Industrial Revolution and also contains extensive evidence and remains of that period when the area was the focus of international attention from artists, engineers, and writers. The site contains substantial remains of mines, foundries, factories, workshops, warehouses, ironmasters' and workers' housing, public buildings, infrastructure, and transport systems, together with traditional landscape and forests of the Severn Gorge. In addition, there also remain extensive collections of artefacts and archives relating to the individuals, processes and products that made the area so important.
Today, the site is a living, working community with a population of approximately 4000 people. It is also a historic landscape that is interpreted and made accessible through the work of a number of organisations, in particular, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust (established in 1967 to preserve and interpret the remains of the Industrial Revolution within the Ironbridge Gorge) and the Severn Gorge Countryside Trust (established in 1991 to manage the woodland and grassland in the Gorge).
Within the site, five features are highlighted as of particular interest:
1. Coalbrookdale: It was here in 1709 that the Quaker Abraham Darby I developed the coke iron production technique which began the great 18th century iron revolution. There still remains a high concentration of 18th and 19th century dwellings, warehouses and public buildings in Coalbrookdale.
2. Ironbridge: The community draws its name from the famous Iron Bridge erected in 1779 by Abraham Darby III. At the eastern end of Ironbridge stand the remains of two 18th century blast furnaces, the Bedlam Furnaces, built in 1757.
3. Hay Brook Valley: South of Madeley lies a large open-air museum which incorporates the remains of the former Blists Hill blast furnaces and Blists Hill brick and tile works. Also of importance is the spectacular Hay Inclined Plane which connected the Shropshire Canal to the Coalport Canal, which in turn linked with the River Severn.
4. Jackfield: This small community on the south bank of the River Severn was important for navigation, coal mining, clay production, and the manufacture of decorative tiles.
5. Coalport: Located at the eastern end of the site and on the north bank of the River Severn, industrialisation came to Coalport in the late 18th century and the area is remembered principally for the Coalport China Works.
Criterion (i): The Coalbrookdale blast furnace perpetuates in situ the creative effort of Abraham Darby I who discovered coke iron in 1709. It is a masterpiece of man's creative genius in the same way as the Iron Bridge, which is the first known metal bridge. It was built in 1779 by Abraham Darby III from the drawings of the architect Thomas Farnolls Pritchard.
Criterion (ii): The Coalbrookdale blast furnace and the Iron Bridge exerted great influence on the development of techniques and architecture.
Criterion (iv): Ironbridge Gorge provides a fascinating summary of the development of an industrial region in modern times. Mining centres, transformation industries, manufacturing plants, workers' quarters, and transport networks are sufficiently well preserved to make up a coherent ensemble whose educational potential is considerable.
Criterion (vi): Ironbridge Gorge, which opens its doors to in excess of 600,000 visitors yearly, is a world renowned symbol of the 18th century Industrial Revolution.
The Coalbrookdale blast furnace and Ironbridge exerted great influence on the development of techniques and architecture.

It is a masterpiece of man's creative genius in the same way as Ironbridge, which is the first known metal bridge, built in 1779 by Abraham Darby III from the drawings of the architect Thomas Farnolls Pritchard.
Ironbridge Gorge is located in the county of Shropshire, some 30km northwest of Birmingham in the the narrow Severn valley upstream from its confluence with the Caldebrook River in Coalbrookdale. Ironbridge Gorge is an example representative of the main techniques of the industrial age.
It is an extraordinary concentration of mining zones, foundries, factories, workshops and warehouses, which coexists with an old network of lanes, paths, roads, ramps, canals and railroads, as well as substantial remains of traditional landscape and housing, the forests of the Severn Gorge, ironmasters' houses, workers' living quarters, public buildings and infrastructure equipment of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Since 1968, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust has coordinated actions in the areas of discovery, conservation and exploitation of the valley's heritage in addition to providing sound management of museums, monuments and sites and thereby acting as a pioneer in the field of industrial archaeology.
In the area there are five major areas of interest:
- Coalbrookdale: This is where in 1709 the Quaker Abraham Darby I developed the coke-based iron production technique which began the great 18th century steel revolution. There still remains a high concentration of 18thand 19th-century dwellings, warehouses, churches and chapels in the town. The Great Warehouse contains an iron museum.
- Ironbridge: The locality where mining and metallurgical activity began in the 17th century draws its name from the iron bridge erected in 1779, which also serves to designate the entire region of the Severn Gorges.
- Hay Brook valley: Downstream from Madeley in the low valley of this small tributary of the Severn River, a large open air museum was set up on Blists Hill. Extraction galleries, shafts with their head-frames and blast furnaces have been preserved.
- Jackfield: A small town located on the south bank of the Severn made its living from coal mining, clay production and navigation. It was the valley's port of registry.
- Coalport: This town is located at the far east end of the protected zone on the north bank of the Severn, which is spanned by a metal bridge from _PHONE_. The high point of this town is the porcelain manufacturing plant founded by John Rose at the end of the 18th century which closed down only in 1926. Today it is a porcelain museum.


Life of Fra Angelico
Blessed Fra Angelico was a Dominican priest in Italy who lived in the early 1400s. First known as Guido di Pero, he was born in Mugello in the vicinity of Vicchio, Italy between 1395 and 1400. In 1418, Guido received his first payment for one of his creations – an altarpiece – in a chapel in Florence. There he received training from Ambrogio di Baldese. He joined the community of San Domenico between 1418 and 1421, where he took the religious name "Giovanni". Dominicans are an order of preachers, who also needed places for private study, prayer and reflection to gather their thoughts for their public preaching. Thus, in Dominican monasteries, each friar was given a private small bedroom or cell with a bed, a desk, chair, and a kneeler. Additionally, each friar had a religious picture in his cell to contemplate. Fra Angelico was assigned to paint pictures in the cells and corridors of the monastery. He also painted in various churches and chapels.
In choosing the subject matter for his paintings, Fra Angelico followed in the footsteps of the founder of his order, St. Dominic. It was to St. Dominic that Our Blessed Mother gave the rosary in 1214. St. Dominic became a Missionary of the Holy Rosary as did priests of his order, including Fra Angelico.
Friar Giovanni's work was so beautiful that he came to be called "Fra Angelico" because of its almost angelic quality. He carried on the mission of the Dominicans by expressing his love and understanding of the Mysteries of the Rosary in his beautiful works of art.
Many of the Mysteries of the Rosary as rendered by Fra Angelico are reproduced in St. Mark Church as exact replicas of his paintings. As a result, this Shrine is dedicated to Blessed Fra Angelico under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary.
Fra Angelico died in Rome in February 1455, a few weeks before his patron, Pope Nicholas V. The epitaph for his tomb in the Dominican Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva reads in part:
"A religious, he was a brother of the holy order of St. Dominic, and was himself a true servant of God. His disciples bewail the loss of so great a master, for who will find another brush like his? His fatherland and his order lament the death of a consummate painter, who had no equal in his art."


Why did Yertle the Turtle build his throne? How far into the sky did it reach? And when Yertle finally fell off his throne, what happened?
These are just a few of the questions that the students at Mahoning Elementary School answered during the sixth annual "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" program. Modeled after the popular television show, the game asks students questions about five popular Dr. Seuss books. The students play for fun prizes such as books, games, and Dr. Seuss stuffed animals.
Six students and two teachers were chosen to play the game, answering questions about Dr. Seuss in rapid-fire response. These kids knew their Seuss but like the popular "Millionaire" show, they were also allowed to have help for the tough questions. The students could call a friend, ask the audience, or eliminate two wrong answers with 50/50.
Students laughed and cheered as the program began, when reading specialist Marsha Long introduced the host for the day.
"We're really lucky, because the Cat in the Hat was able to get Yertle the Turtle for us," said Long. The kids cheered as Yertle walked on stage, followed by the Cat in the Hat's friends, Thing 1 and Thing 2.
The program is organized and hosted by third-grade teacher Cale Kresge.
The entire school prepared for the program by reading and discussing Dr. Seuss books. The books featured this year were "The Cat in the Hat," "Green Eggs and Ham," "Yertle the Turtle," "Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose," and "The King's Stilts."
Because this is the sixth year that Mahoning has hosted the game, many of the older students have taken part in the program before. To keep things interesting for the older kids, teachers introduced older Seuss books like "Thidwick" and "The King's Stilts."
"We try to get new books each year that the kids haven't read before," said Kresge. "It's a fun way to get the kids excited about books."
By all accounts, the program is working, he added. Excitement over reading starts to build over the month of March, Read Across America month, when students start checking out more books from the library. The game is a fun way to get kids involved in reading and to encourage them to discuss what they've learned in each book.
The six students taking part in the game were Mason Costenbader and Sophia Foreacker, kindergarten; Alicia Schaffer, first grade; Austin Schweibinz, second grade; Stephen Heery, third grade; and Devline Lord, fourth grade. Also called onstage were Marianne Garfield and Kathleen Merluzzi, teachers at the school who will be retiring this year.
The winners of the school's Dr. Seuss poster contest were also announced during the program. Winner this year included Emily DeKorte, Nica Devline, MyKayla Engle, Callie Hayman, Lauren Marks, Ethan Miller, Willow Neeb, Rodger Pomposello, Natalie Smith, Ronald Snyder, and Antoinette Verta.

assalaamu 'alaykum, raHmat Allah wa-barakaatuhu
In the Hebrew calendrical reckoning, there is a concept know as 'ibbur (lit., "impregnation") whereby a month is added every so often in order to keep the Spring festivals in the Spring and the Winter festivals in the Winter, etc.
Why does the Hijri calendar continue indefinitely with Ramadan falling in all secular months eventually as it moves across the solar calendar year out of sync? Is there a reason for this? If so, what is it?

D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe -producer "hello" D:\in\*.htm D:\*.pdf
- D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe ----The directory of the executable file. It shows that the executable file in placed in the folder called htmltools on disk D.
- -producer "hello" ---- the command which set "hello" (without quotation marks) as the new created PDF's producer.
- D:\in\*.htm ---- the directory of the input files. It means that all the HTM files in the folder in on disk D should be the input files.
- D:\*.pdf ---- the directory of the output files. It leads the computer to store all the result files converted from HTM to PDF on disk D.
3. Press "Enter"
Once you press "Enter" on the keyboard, the computer will begin to batch set PDF producer and batch convert HTM to PDF without delay. When you see "result =OK" displayed in the command prompt window, it means that one file has been converted from HTM to PDF. Then you can open the PDF Properties dialog box to view the result.

If you've had outstanding debts, overdrafts or other banking problems in the past that lead to you losing your checking account, it may be difficult to open a new one. However, gaining an understanding of your situation and realizing that there are checking accounts designed for people in your situation can help put you back in control. If you find yourself in this position, you may want to see whether you can get a second chance checking account.
 1. 1
 Determine the reason banks are denying you a checking account. You can check with the denying institution to find out whether it based its decision on information from ChexSystems, which reports mishandled accounts and outstanding debts to its member institutions, or TeleChecks, which reports fraud and bad checks. If it used ChexSystems, you can order a copy of your report from that company to better understand -- and in some cases appeal -- the institution's decision. You can talk to a TeleChecks representative to better understand a denial based on that company's information.
 2. 2
 Realize that you are permanently denied a regular checking account if you have bad credit information stored in either ChexSystems' or TeleChecks' database. Many banks forgive former bad credit if you pay the debt and don't have problems for 2 years. If the information in ChexSystems or TeleChecks is fraud-related, you generally have to wait a minimum of 5 years to receive a regular checking account.
 3. 3
 Explore the websites of banks and credit unions that you are already familiar with to find out if they offer second chance checking accounts that you can obtain. Many major financial institutions offer these accounts to potential customers with bad credit or with other banking problems, often with minimal fees, if any. Read the institution's checking FAQ's and use the search term "second chance" to locate personal checking accounts that may be right for you. Call customer service if you're unable to find the information on the website.
 4. 4
 Examine other options if you are unable to find a financial institution that you already trust offering second chance checking accounts. When you find institutions that you're unfamiliar with offering this type of account, review all the information carefully. Before opening the account, make sure you know the name and reputation of the bank. Also, review the application for any hidden fees, as unscrupulous companies make money from taking advantage of individuals having a difficult time getting checking accounts.
 5. 5
 Apply to get a second chance checking account, completing the application with absolute accuracy, since misrepresenting yourself on the application will likely lead to a denial.

 - Financial institutions that do not use ChexSystems or TeleChecks may not have a record of your former banking problems, and so are easier to obtain checking accounts from. Online, you can find directories of financial institutions that do not use these systems.
 - If banks continue to reject you for a regular checking account and you aren't sure why, always ask the financial institution for details. Sometimes, banks mistakenly deny individuals.
 - Make sure you have the minimum opening deposit when you apply for the checking account.
 - Some websites that appear to offer a second chance checking account are actually just selling you the name of a bank at which you can apply to get a second chance checking account. Know exactly what you're paying for before you submit a payment.

Developing Health Risks Caused By September 11, 2001
School: Las Cruces YWiC
Area of Science: Environmental Science
Proposal: When the World Trade Centers were attacked on September 11, 2001, many people risked their lives to save victims in the burning, collapsing buildings and toxins have taken a toll on the health of survivors. These toxins (asbestos, benzene, and particulate glass) have been shown to cause lung disease, cancer, and numerous health problems.
We are interested in studying this problem because the 9/11 attacks changed our nation and forever scarred victims and their families. We will use computer modeling to demonstrate how toxins in the dust caused diseases to occur in a higher rate among first responders as opposed to diseases occurring in responders not directly exposed to the 9/11 attacks.
We hope to show a clear correlation between the event and the health effects observed. We plan to use NetLogo to model a control population with normal rates of diseases and compare those to the rates of lung disease and cancer in first responders. We will be able to adjust variables to better understand the simulation and the simulated effects. Some examples of variables will include: whether they responded to the 9/11 crisis and inhaled dust, if they worked as search and rescue during the days that followed, and whether or not they wore a mask while digging through the rubble or while working during the collapse.
The health problems that the first responders are being afflicted with are not going away; on the contrary, as time progresses more first responders are being diagnosed.

Milk is a pale liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It is the primary source of nutrition for infant mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. Early-lactation milk contains colostrum, which carries the mother's antibodies to its young and can reduce the risk of many diseases. It contains many other nutrients including protein and lactose.

Broadly speaking, the stock market is made up of investors and speculators. When you invest in an asset or financial product, you expect to make a return. You also expect to receive all your capital back when you sell the asset. If you speculate on an asset, you are hoping for the price to move in your favor – but you are aware that it may not.
In today's complex financial markets, the line between investing and speculation is less distinct. This article looks at the key differences between the two, and lists examples of investing, speculation and the grey area between the two.

What is investing?
According to the dictionary, investing is defined as "committing capital in order to earn a return." When it comes to the financial markets you invest in assets when you expect a return, and you also expect to receive the initial investment back. This doesn't mean investments are without risk – but the expectation is that the risk is low. Most investments create cash flows like interest, coupons, rent or dividends. However, in some cases, profits are reinvested to add value to the asset.
What is speculation?
Speculating means committing capital in the hope of making a return. Speculation is typically based on a theory about what will happen in the future. However, there is no certainty, and the risk is far higher. During a gold rush, people who went looking for gold were known as speculators. They had no way of knowing whether they would find gold, but where prepared to take the risk because reward would be far greater.
Speculation dominated in the early days of Wall Street when most listed companies didn't have a track record. However, nowadays hundreds of companies have long track records. Investment analysis has come a long way too. Investors can now buy certain stocks with a lot more certainty.
Investing vs. speculating: Key differences
In The Intelligent Investor Benjamin Graham wrote: "An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative."
The key difference between investing and speculating is the level of risk and the certainty of receiving your capital back. Investors are reasonably certain they will not lose money. Speculators on the other hand, know there is a reasonable likelihood they will lose their investment.
If you do lose money on an investment it should be because something unexpected happens. If you are not surprised by a loss, you are very likely speculating. Speculators chase high returns, rather than high probability returns. Speculation is typically more short term in nature, though some speculative investments do have a long time horizon. Speculators usually expect the price of an asset to change. Investors look for cash flows, or for the value of the asset to change.
Active investing can be more speculative, but that doesn't mean active investing is the same as speculation. Solid fundamental analysis is more likely to result in investments than speculation. However, thorough analysis can also result in speculative investments. You may do your research and conclude that a stock has a fifty percent chance of going to zero and a fifty percent chance of tripling in value. For every dollar you risk you will either lose one dollar or make two. This is a speculative bet, but it's a bet worth taking.
The difference between investing and speculating can also depend on the person making a financial transaction. Consider two different investors buying the same stock. The first investor may have bought the stock based on nothing but a hunch. The second investor may have bought the stock after doing a lot of research and have a very sound investment thesis. The first investor is speculating, while the second is investing. In this case the difference comes down to each approach, not the stock itself.
The grey area between investing and speculating
In many cases it is very clear that you are either investing or speculating. But in some cases, an investment could be classed as either. Small cap stocks for example are typically speculative. But some small companies have predictable earnings and a competitive advantage. If you can invest in these types of companies at a fair price, you are not speculating.
Hedge funds range between highly speculative and what most people would regard as being investments. Furthermore, when a fund employs active trading strategies, individual trades may have speculative characteristics. However, if the system is based on empirical research, investing in the fund itself is not necessarily speculative.
Using quantitative investing techniques removes a lot of the speculative element from trading systems. LEHNER INVESTMENTS Data Intelligence Fund is a good example. Trade signals are generated as a result of a deliberate process involving artificial intelligence, big data and sentiment analysis. The objective of such a fund is to reduce portfolio risk, which is something investors – not speculators – do.
Examples of investing
The following are examples that would almost always qualify as investing:
- Savings accounts
- Government bonds
- Blue chip stocks
- Value stocks
- Passive investing / ETF investing
- Robo advisor platforms
- Retirement plans
- Mutual funds
- Factor investing
- Private equity funds
Savings accounts are one of the safest types of investments. If you invest in a savings account your money is almost certain to be safe, and you know roughly what compound interest you will earn. Most savings accounts are guaranteed by governments up to a certain amount.
Government bonds issued in developed countries are also very safe. A government can print money to pay back the principle. This may weaken the currency, but the principle will be safe.
Blue chip stocks do carry some risk but are generally regarded as safe investments and they have predictable earnings. Companies regarded as "blue chip" are very unlikely to go bankrupt, though their value may fall in any given year. A portfolio of blue-chip stocks is unlikely to lose value over a 5 to 10-year period.
Value stocks are regarded as having limited downside. If a stock is trading below its intrinsic value, the worst-case scenario is that common stock owners would be entitled to the liquidation value of the company. Value investing seeks to limit the downside first, and then earn a return.
Stocks with low PEs are not always value stocks though. One of the most common investing myths is that low PE stocks are a good investment. While some stocks trading on low multiples are good investments, many are cheap for a reason. Likewise, some of the best performing stocks trade on high multiples. Although the downside on value stocks is limited, investors will only earn a return if the company's prospects improve, and the market recognizes it.
Passive investing and ETF investing generally falls under investing rather than speculation. Market capitalization weighted ETFs will always contain the most valuable stocks in each market. Owning the most successful stocks over the long term has a high probability of earning investors a return. Actively trading ETFs is speculating though, just like it would be for most stocks.
Robo advisor platforms offer cautious investment strategies. In fact, a large part of what they do is aimed at steering investors away from speculating. Robo advisors invest client assets in passive income investments according to a prudent asset allocation framework.
Retirement plans, balanced funds and annuities are relatively safe investments. Most of these long-term savings products are highly regulated to ensure that capital isn't invested in speculative instruments.
Mutual funds are for the most part regarded as investments. However, some are very speculative depending on the strategy they follow, or the instruments they invest in. Actively moving money in and out of mutual funds is speculative, regardless of the fund.
Factor investing and ESG investing typically form part of an investment strategy. The research these types of investments are based on looks at factors that lead to long term outperformance and profitability. Traders don't usually use these types of factors for speculation either.
Private equity funds invest in private companies with proven business models. In fact, private equity funds usually invest in companies once their speculative phase is over. They accept lower returns but have a higher success rate than venture capital funds.
Examples that can be categorized as investing or speculation
The following examples fall into the grey area between speculation and investing:
Momentum investing is speculative in nature. Investments are not made with any degree of certainty. Rather, momentum is used to signal the fact that other investors are likely to pay higher prices in the future. However, a diversified momentum portfolio that is based on empirical research can remove a lot of the uncertainty. The same can apply to any stock picking strategy.
Growth stocks are often priced as though they will continue to grow earnings rapidly for several years. Buying stocks like this is usually speculation. A popular investment will usually trade at a premium, and there may not be enough growth to justify the premium. However, an investor may conclude from their research that the required growth is achievable.
Hedge funds and algorithmic trading strategies can be used to speculate. But they can also be used to hedge against volatility or a stock market crash. In this case they are being used as part of an investment strategy.
Real estate can easily fall into the realm of either investment or speculation. A rental property that generates positive cash flow is an investment. On the other hand, investment of money into a property that will only be profitable if its resale value increases is speculation.
Venture capital funds typically invest in startup businesses which are speculative. However, one can argue that a fund which is diversified across numerous startups some of the risk has been reduced. Whether or not the fund is speculative is a matter of opinion.

How to Edit a Hierarchy
A Hierarchy is an object that represents either a platoon or a
company. It contains units and hierarchies which represent the
hierarchy's subordinate units. In the ATF Scenario Builder
hierarchies are generated either manually or during the process of adding
a Unit Package. From the
Hierarchy Tree window, you can edit the appearance or attributes of a
hierarchy, no matter how it is created.
NOTE: In Armored Task Force, enemy platoons are
represented on the map and in windows as companies, and companies as
battalions. Besides this, in every respect, they behave just as
Open the Hierarchy Tree Window:
While hierarchies are visible on the map, they can only be edited from
the Hierarchy Tree window. While, in Armored Task Force,
there is only a friendly Hierarchy Tree window, in ATF Scenario
Builder, there are three Hierarchy Tree windows: Friendly, Enemy, and
1. Select 'Friendly' from the 'Hierarchy Tree' sub-menu of the
Edit a Hierarchy:
On the map, hierarchies are depicted by flags or NATO piece
markers. When you add a Unit Package, it may or may not have the
correct flag and, even if it does have the correct flag, it will almost
certainly not be labeled correctly. To fix the problem, you will
have to edit the appearance of the hierarchy.
To begin editing a hierarchy, right-click on it in the Hierarchy Tree
window, and select 'Edit'.
1. To change the attributes or appearance of a hierarchy, make
changes in the Hierarchy Platoon or Company Data dialog.
- Name. The screen name of the hierarchy, which appears both
in the Hierarchy Tree window and in the 'tooltip' labels on the map.
- Max Units. The maximum number of directly subordinate units
or hierarchies under this hierarchy (both units and platoon
hierarchies, but not subordinate platoon's units).
- Spacing. The distance between units in the hierarchy while
in formation (in tens of meters).
- Command Radius. Not currently implemented.
- Command and Control, BOS Flags. These flags are combined
to determine what kinds of formations and Missions are available to
- NATO Piece. The NATO symbol that represents the hierarchy,
both in the Hierarchy Tree and on the map.
- Graphic Piece. The 'Flag' that represents the hierarchy on
the map when vehicles are visible.
- Graphic Label Piece. The number or letter that is displayed
on the flag.
- Destroyed NATO and Graphic Piece. Not implemented.
- Locked? If this box is checked, hierarchies and units can
not be added to or removed from the hierarchy.
2. To change the flag, click on the 'Graphic Piece' button and
select a piece of the type '..._flag'.
3. To change the letter or number on the flag, select 'Graphic
4.... And select a piece with a name of the form '..._label'.
5. When you click 'OK' to close the Hierarchy Platoon Data
dialog, the graphic representation of the hierarchy will be altered on
Task Organize Hierarchies:
Just as in Armored Task Force, platoons and units can be moved
from one hierarchy to another.
1. Click on the hierarchy and, while holding down the left-mouse
2.... drag the hierarchy to the new hierarchy and 'drop' it by
releasing the left mouse button.
Edit a Unit in the Hierarchy Tree:
Units are also represented in the Hierarchy Tree window. Their
attributes effect not only how they are depicted in the Hierarchy Tree,
but also how they are depicted on the map when NATO icons are
selected. These attributes also effect the unit's ability to lead
1. Right-click on a unit in the Hierarchy Tree and select 'Edit'.
2. Now you can alter the attributes of the unit.
- Name. The name of the unit. This will supersede any
name set for the unit on the map.
- Rank. If the unit also has 'Platoon Leader Capable' or
'Company Commander Capable' set, this number sets the order of
precedence in which this unit will assume command of the hierarchy
of which it is a part. For instance, a unit with a Rank of 1
will assume command before a unit with a Rank of 2. A zero or
negative Rank will override the leader settings and prevent this
unit from assuming command.
- Platoon Leader Capable, Company Commander Capable. If one of
these is checked, and the unit has a positive Rank, the unit will
assume command of the hierarachy of which it is a direct member,
unless a unit with a lower Rank is present. Obviously 'Platoon
Leaders' can only lead platoons and 'Company Commanders' can only
- NATO Piece. The NATO icon which represents the unit both on
the map and in the Hierarchy Tree. This setting will override
settings for the vehicle type of the unit.
- Graphic Piece, Destroyed NATO Piece, Destroyed Graphic
Piece. Not implemented.
- Locked? If checked, the unit can not be moved from its
current hierarchy to another hierarchy or out of all hierarchies.
