Elk Calls
How do hunting calls work?
Our knowledge comes from years of hunting with every conceivable kind of call. We were always searching for something better. From sticky reeds to hard to use calls we tried em all. For Elk, Deer, Turkeys and more we have always preferred to call them. There is just something about using a game call to lure your quarry. An in-depth and broad reaching subject. Understanding how hunting calls work could fill a book.
We set out to make something that solved all problems in our Reel design. Once we came up with what we thought was an original design that does exactly that. We had to prove it and that brought us to a long patent process. We have read many patents from the last 200 years. On everything from toy noise makers to game calls that are currently popular.
With having read so many patents for game calls. We understand the inner works of what generates the sound and makes your hunting calls work. While we were writing and going through the patent process. As well as years of spending every free second calling game. We have an intimate knowledge of how these devices work.
How do hunting calls work? It is a broad question but it is surprisingly a narrow subject.
Many hunting calls for different species are similar. The mechanisms for generating sound are adaptable. They can be adjusted to imitate multiple species. What makes hunting calls work for one species can make them work for another.
From duck calls to deer calls, turkey calls to elk calls, and so on. How do calls work? We will run through how some of the more popular designs function. We will go into depth on what makes hunting calls work.

How do mouth reeds work?
The current mouth reed design uses a small aluminum frame that is shaped like an oval. It is bent into a semi circle around a flat flexible membrane. Leaving the edge of the latex between the bottom of the arch that is formed exposed. The exposed taught edge vibrates when air is blown off the plane of the membrane and over its free edge.
Currently latex is the most popular membrane material. There can be one or multiple membranes stacked so one slightly overhangs. Or sometimes just stacked vertically. There are many different ways to install the membranes or reeds.
Tape is then used to make the call block the airflow. A piece of tape in the original shape of the aluminum is folded around the frame. The call looks roughly the same shape as the bite of your mouth. Think a sharkbite out of a surfboard, with tape covering everything but the reed. The structure that makes these hunting calls work is simple.
How to use mouth reeds
The reed call is placed in the roof of the mouth with the reed facing the teeth. The user uses their tongue to direct the airflow under the reed. A combination of airflow control and tongue pressure controls the volume and pitch.
Due to the stretch of the reed they are easier to use with a higher volume of air. The start up velocity of the reed makes low volume sounds more difficult.
They can be cut in a myriad of geometrical fashions on the exposed edge of the upper reed. This allows the vibration pitch to lower as the reed vibrates slower. Combining this with a uncut reed or several allows multiple pitches to be played.
The uncut reed vibrates at the high rate underneath the overhanging upper one. A dampening reed can be added to make the sound more realistic.
These cut multiple reed calls were popularized for Turkey hunting originally. They make the high to low yelps of a hen turkey. With their multiple reeds providing excellent high front end and raspy back end notes.
An uncut single or double stacked reed produces a higher pitch. It is easier to use than a cut reed and many people learn with uncut reeds. They are excellent for hunting falls turkeys. They can also be used for other animals… mainly Elk

How do mouth calls work for Elk calling?
At some point someone realized that they could be adapted to Elk Calls. We researched the subject and the history is vague. Some of what we could find mentions Wayne Carlton of Montrose Colorado popularizing their use.
We will publish a follow up article on this page someday perhaps on an in depth history of elk Calling. We are excited to do some real fact finding on the subject.
However what was once a latex turkey call can be taken by a skilled user and made to make Elk vocalizations. In the early 80s this became increasingly popular to use and many hunting call companies quickly caught on.
Rocky Jacobson popularized a palate plate configuration in the early 90's that adds some control to the call. He sold his patent application to Will Primos back then. The two have been making them ever since with their respective companies.
The palate plate is a structure that sits up above the reed. Whether a metal tab that bends up from the aluminum frame. Or a dome structure that spans above the aluminum frame.
The palate plate or dome over the reed keeps it from stretching too far. It limits the user to only reaching a high note of a certain pitch. The reed stretches with the tongue being placed up on it and the pressure being increased. The vibrational rate increases as more pressure is applied so the pitch elevates.
A single reed or double reed configuration with the upper reed extended beyond the lower are popular. They can be used with a grunt tube to change the pitch and amplify the sound effects the user is making. Especially when Bugling. All shapes and sizes of tubes have been tried over the years.
Bugling with a mouth call
A bull Elk is a massive animal, weighing up to 1000 pounds. They have a deep guttural sound they make due to the size of their lungs and the long windpipe and mouth. The bugle or grunt tube helps mimic this.
Though when a herd bull elk shakes the forest around you with a thunderous challenge bugle. He leaves little doubt that it is not a sound made by a man. We are sure there are some world champion elk callers that will not agree. So be it, not everyone will agree on anything.
This fact alone is why we choose to be more lovers than fighters when elk calling. In our part of hard hunted OTC territory here in colorado at least. Our reel calls allow you to sound so spot on like a cow or calf elk and that also influences our approach.
We do bugle sometimes to get a long distance response. Or if we are close enough to see the bull in heavy timber for example. We do this when we want him to think another bull is in between him and the low volume chirps we've made. Our calls allow you to call super quietly to make him think his cows are further away.
The only other time we bugle is to pretend we are a couple of juvenile bulls. As in just a herd hanging out in a happy herd scenario. However if they will respond to you just making cow and calf vocalizations probably don't bugle.
Opinions on how good we bugle vary
Why? Give the elk the most realistic sounds we think and humans just do a better female elk. Some people may argue and some people love to bugle, and if it works for you then keep dropping em! We know plenty of guys that bugle in bulls so it is just a matter of personal preference.
It is just the fact we don't weigh 800 pounds coupled with our personal experience. We have spent an awful lot of time on OTC public land and hear more fake bugles every year than you can imagine.
The user of an Elk mouth reed uses a lot more tongue pressure to control the call than a turkey mouth call user. Long airflow notes with sliding pressure changes and voice inflection are more common.
A user takes a deep breath and starts with a grr sound then works the call adding pressure from below an increase in air and cuts the voice inflection. The note soars as pressure is applied and it and increased airflow increases the vibrational rate of the reed. The pitch drops as the user reduces pressure. To end the note you can add a growling grunt.
It takes skill to bugle with a mouth reed. Trying to sound like the king of the forest with a mouth call takes real skill and years of practice.
The abrupt air flow cut offs of a Turkey hen cutting for example don't come into play with elk talk. The practice of calling turkeys helps one to adapt to Elk calling. And vice versa though it is not as common as going from turkeys to elk.
Hard to use and fragile design
All mouth reed calls we have come across take skill by the user. They are not very durable, the metal gets easily bent, the reed wears out quickly. Putting a tape wrapped metal frame with organic latex rubber in your mouth speeds their demise.
The saliva in your mouth contains pre-digestive juices. Washing your mouth calls with clean water and carefully storing them helps. If there are multiple reeds drying them with toothpicks in between the reeds is a good plan.
Plan on going through and replacing your mouth reed calls. They are relatively cheap but you'll buy a few a few times every spring and fall every year. They seem to stretch and get out of tune relatively fast. We quickly recognized they are not as economical as they seem. It was one of the issues we took into account when designing our current and future calls.
Our current Reel calls have non organic reeds that have been proven to last for

A "printing plate," sometimes referred to as a "production plate," is the practice of organizing the pieces of a multi-part print so that several parts will fit onto a build area. They help streamline printing and production by reducing the number of separate printing tasks. Organizing your multi-part print onto plates is a relatively easy design trick for improving your speed of production. Here are a few tips in case you're doing this:
- Draw a square or rectangle the shape of your build platform into the design. Try to organize your parts onto that square1 and delete the square when done. 2
- Start by placing the largest piece onto a square, then adding the largest piece you can manage to the plate. Add as many little pieces as you can around the larger parts.
- If you are printing slot-together parts, you can safely mirror or flip the pieces. Once printed, they'll be functionally identical whether they were printed face-up or face-down.
- Packing parts together can actually reduce warping and curling. You may find that the extra parts will either provide apron-like mechanical advantages by holding down corners or thermal walls.
- If certain parts need to be printed multiple times, put them with other parts that need to be printed multiple times. In the case of Dino-Girl's spidersaur, it has two different kinds of legs – four identical long legs and four identical shorter legs. It also had a body panel and a fang part that needed to be printed twice each. I created one plate with a long leg, a short leg, and the body panel and another plate with a long leg, short leg, and the fang part. If you print each of those plates twice, you end up with four long legs, four short legs, two body panels, and two fang parts.
- Ask for help! I had a lot of trouble organizing the last five parts onto the fifth printing plate. I enlisted the help of two other Thingiverse citizens, Syvwlch and Renosis, in organizing this plate. They each solved it in a nearly identical fashion in far less time than I had spent trying to figure it out.
- Use a stepper extruder. If you're packing parts in closely together, you're going to want the kind of fine-grain control a MK6 stepper extruder can provide.
What other tips do you have for creating printing plates?

Click here to see information about this file Engine
Allows you to go in different directions and increases your speed.
Metal Ingot.png
Circuit Board.png
Engine is a Navigation item in Raft.
Summary[edit | edit source]
The Engine is acquired through the Blueprint: Engine found on the Vasagatan. After researching the blueprint, players may build and place an engine in order to sail against the wind. Used in combination with the Steering Wheel, the player gets full control of which direction they wish to sail. One Engine can push a raft of up to 100 Foundations. For each set of 100 Foundations over the initial 100, another Engine must be built and run simultaneously in order for them to have enough power to sail the raft. Note that Collection Nets do not count towards number of Foundations.
Adding six Engines to a raft will increase the sailing speed to the maximum possible, while ignoring aforementioned Foundation limitations.
Fuel[edit | edit source]
The Engine runs on Planks or Biofuel. While using Planks, the Engine will burn through a single plank in 36 seconds and a full tank of 17 planks in exactly 600 seconds (10 minutes instead of 612 seconds due to overfill). A single Biofuel is worth 17 planks in Engine runtime if put directly into the Engine and 20 planks if fed from a Tank, but also requires Honey making it a harder fuel to obtain. However, Biofuel can be stored in Biofuel Tanks and connected to the Engine through Fuel Pipes automating the process of filling the Engine with fuel. A Biofuel Tank can be filled with four Biofuel canisters and powers a single Engine for a total of 48 minutes (approximately 2.4 to 3.6 in-game days depending on whether or not the player sleeps).
Stuttering[edit | edit source]
If the Engine is unable to push the Raft, whether if it's anchored or overburdened, it will slow down to a stop while simultaneously stuttering indicating something is wrong. No fuel is used during this time, despite the Engine being on.
Following is a comparison of the running and stuttering Engine:
Show/Hide Videos
 - Too many Foundations. An Engine can push up to 100 foundations. Make sure that the amount of Engines covers the amount of Foundations.
 - The raft is anchored. Make sure no anchors are currently holding the raft in place.
 - One or more Engines lacks fuel. Check fuel level on all Engines.
 - The Engines are going in opposite directions. Check the Engine direction lever and make sure they match.
Speed[edit | edit source]
The Engine follows a few parameters when it comes to deciding the speed of the raft[1].
The first parameter regards sailing speed of the raft when using Engines, which is always valued between 1.5 and 2.5, and can never exceed these numbers. A single Engine will push the raft at a speed of 2, and adding an additional Engine will increase the speed of the raft to 2.5.
The second parameter regards overburdening the raft. As mentioned above, a single Engine can move up to 100 Foundations, however there is a 'Slow Zone' between 101-110 Foundations(per engine) where the Raft will still sail, but at reduced speed. This speed is defined as 1 per engine. If only 1 engine is being used, and it is in the 'Slow Zone', the speed will be set to the minimum of 1.5.
The third and last parameter looks for the relation between number of Foundations and number of Engines. There are basically three Engine speed settings in Raft, disregarding drifting. Slow sailing (1.5), when a single Engine can push the raft but at minimum speed before stopping completely. Medium speed (2), achieved by using a single Engine on a raft under 100 foundations, or by using 2 Engines in the 'Slow Zone'(201-220 Foundations). High speed (2.5), when a raft has multiple Engines which are successfully sailing the raft. Since Engine speed is additive when running multiple Engines at the same time, high speed is always achieved once the raft is successfully sailing with at least 3 engines, but not if the raft is overburdened.
Uses[edit | edit source]
 - Place on the raft and turn on to sail in a desired direction.
 - Use with a Steering Wheel to fully control direction.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
 - The Engine has a fuel capacity valued at 50, while one Biofuel fills a value of 60. As such, pouring Biofuel directly into the Engine's tanks will waste 10 units of fuel. To prevent this, the player must use a Biofuel Tank.

When investigating food authenticity and potential fraud, there are two main options. One approach is to focus on determining the chemical, physical, or sensory characteristics of the food samples themselves and check if they match the description provided; the other approach is to analyse the supply chain, and try to identify discrepancies in the recorded data. The work outlined in this report employs the latter approach to investigate wine exported from the Bordeaux region in France and imported to China. The mapping and analysis of the supply chain, and the indication of where fraud might happen was partly based on existing scientific literature, reports, and news stories, and partly on a number of interviews conducted with supply chain actors in France and in China.

$2750 a month for every adult, guaranteed? Switzerland's considering it
Five cent coins are pictured in the air in front of the Federal Palace in Bern, Switzerland, during an event organized by the committee proposing a minimum monthly household income of 2,500 Swiss francs for every adult citizen living in Switzerland.
Denis Balibouse/Reuters
Here's a deal: Each month the Swiss government will send every adult a check for about 2,500 swiss francs (roughly $2,750) — no matter their need or income.
Player utilities
At least, that's the proposal before the Swiss people.
In response to growing economic inequality, a grassroots movement in Switzerland collected the 100,000 signatures needed to secure a national referendum on their basic income proposal. Swiss law states any petition that receives at least 100,000 signatures will be voted on nationally.
"It is not as kooky as it sounds," says Karl Widerquist, a Georgetown University professor who has researched basic income policy for a decade. "It's the idea of putting a floor under people's income, the idea that income doesn't have to start at zero."
Basic income is a social security system in which the government regularly gives each citizen a sum of money — with no conditions.
Widerquist points to one example of a similar system here in the United States. With Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend, the government divides up some of the state's yearly oil revenue and gives a portion to each resident. The amount fluctuates year to year, from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.
But the proposed measure in Switzerland would be much greater, adding up to more than $30,000 in guaranteed annual income for each adult.
In recent studies in Africa and India, Widerquist said giving people unconditional monetary gifts often increases labor.
"A basic income, in a way, frees you to improve your skills and your efforts and do something that actually makes a bigger contribution to economy," he says.
No date has been set for the national referendum on Switzerland's guaranteed income proposal.

Body piercing is not without risk. Sometimes a piercing may be rejected, which can cause discomfort and scarring. Spotting a piercing rejection early can reduce scarring and damage to the skin.
In this article, we look at the causes and symptoms of piercing rejection, and how to stop it from happening.

The body may try to reject a piercing because it is a foreign object.
Sometimes, the body's immune response sees the jewelry as a foreign object and rejects it.
Piercing rejection can cause discomfort and scarring.
The following can help reduce the risk of piercing rejection:
 - choosing a qualified and experienced piercer
 - using proper jewelry
 - practicing proper piercing aftercare
Anyone who has piercings should keep a careful eye on them while they heal. Catching a piercing rejection early can reduce scarring or damage to the skin.
A piercing rejection usually happens gradually. Symptoms tend to appear several days or weeks before the body finally pushes the jewelry out of the skin in a process called migration.
Signs that a piercing is migrating and possibly being rejected include:
 - more of the jewelry becoming visible on the outside of the piercing
 - the piercing remaining sore, red, irritated, or dry after the first few days
 - the jewelry becoming visible under the skin
 - the piercing hole appearing to be getting larger
 - the jewelry looking like it is hanging differently
 - the jewelry moving more freely than it should

Surface piercings, such as nape piercings, are at risk of rejection, which can lead to scarring.
Any piercing has the potential to be rejected. Rejection depends on the person's immune system and how well the piercing heals. But, the body tends to reject some types of piercings more often than others.
Surface piercings are the most common types of piercing to be rejected by the body. Surface piercings travel along an area of skin, rather than going directly through a body part. The jewelry punctures only a small amount of the skin's surface.
Examples of surface piercings include eyebrows, neck, hip, and wrist.
Surface piercings may be prone to rejection just because it is easier for the body to push the jewelry out of a small amount of skin.
Non-surface piercings include the earlobe, ear cartilage, lip, or tongue. These types of piercings go all the way through the body tissue — in one side and out the other.
Non-surface piercings may be rejected less often because there is more tissue to hold them in place, making it more difficult for the body to push them out.
Sometimes, a piercing rejection occurs without an apparent cause. However, the following steps may make a piercing rejection less likely to happen.
Choose the right piercer
It is essential to select a piercer who is familiar with the body's anatomy, the healing process, and where best to place a piercing. Before getting a piercing, talk to the piercer about:
 - The type of piercing. Ask about the specific kind of piercing desired and their experience with it. Their expertise with specific piercing locations. Ask to see photos of piercings they have done in the past. These should show a variety of piercings that look well-suited to individual body types.
 - Their sterilization and safety measures. The Association of Professional Piercers state that every piercer should use an autoclave for sterilizing equipment. Good hygiene can help lower the risk of infection and trouble with healing, both of which can lead to piercing rejection.
 - Other sanitary and health measures. Ask about single-use needles, gloves, and the cleaning of hands and rooms between each customer.
Also, consider reading online reviews or talking to previous customers. Choosing an experienced, skilled, and hygienic piercer is crucial.
Choose the right jewelry
A qualified piercer should recommend a size and type of jewelry best suited to the indivdual's body and the location of the piercing.
Using a thicker piece of jewelry might reduce the risk of rejection.
Using materials such as niobium and titanium offer the lowest risk of irritation and allergies. This can also help speed up the healing process and prevent complications. Research the specific piercing beforehand and the best jewelry size and material for it.
Follow aftercare instructions
Keeping a piercing clean is vital for healing and preventing infection. Do not use harsh cleansers such as peroxide, antibacterial soaps, or alcohol, as they can irritate the skin and delay healing.
Ideally, clean the area with a sterile saline solution or a product recommended by a professional piercer.
Take care not to bump piercings, especially while they heal. An injury to the area could cause irritation, rejection, or migration. Ask the piercer about what precautions to take to protect the piercing during contact sports.
Share on Pinterest
Having a professional remove jewelry when it seems to be moving towards the surface may prevent rejection.
If the piercing appears to be migrating toward the surface, take the following steps:
 - Remove the jewelry and contact the piercer. Keeping the jewelry in increases the chances of scarring. A large scar can prevent a person having a new piercing in the same location after it heals.
 - Ask the piercer about using a different piece of jewelry. Thicker-gauge jewelry or a different shape or material may help the piercing heal and settle into place better.
Most people who experience a piercing rejection will recover without any lasting health issues. However, there may be scarring, which can range from mild to severe.
Scarring can make it difficult or impossible to get a new piercing in the same location. It may also be a cosmetic concern. People who are prone to raised or keloid scars are generally advised to avoid piercings.
Antibiotics may be needed if an infection occurs. Anyone who suspects a piercing infection should discuss it with a doctor.
Signs of infection include the following at the piercing location:
 - redness
 - hot to the touch
 - swelling
 - discharge
With proper antibiotic treatment, most piercing infections heal without long-term problems.
After a piercing rejection, people should think about what may have caused it. Did they follow proper aftercare instructions? Did the piercer use appropriate equipment, technique, and jewelry?
If the piercing was done correctly and the person looked after it properly, the rejection may just be bad luck. A person can sometimes have one rejection then have no problems with future piercings. People should consider the risk of another piercing rejection before getting pierced again.

U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 03-106
A preliminary investigation was carried out in Colorado to test if elements were being deposited at high elevations in two areas of Colorado, which form natural barriers to the winds. This investigation was designed to detect differences of element contents of soils collected on each side of a mountain ridge or peak. The assumption is that dust and aerosol-bearing winds buffet the high ridges and peaks of mountain ranges and some of the dust and aerosols will be deposited mostly on the windward side of the range. Soils formed in place on similar rock types would be elevated in some elements present in the dust and aerosols on the windward side of the ridge or peak relative to the leeward side. The two study areas are the Hayden Pass area in the Sangre de Cristo Range and the Pikes Peak area in the Rampart Range. Data is presented without interpretation.
The expected audience for the data will be government land planning and regulatory agencies.

Why Is Does Your Tea Gets Cloudy? 3 Possible causes
Do you wonder why your tea gets cloudy or whether it is safe to drink? Read on for some possible explanations and tips for ensuring clear iced tea.
Why Does Your Tea Gets Cloudy
Learn the steps to prevent a cloudy tea
I once brewed a pitcher of sweet tea right after I moved across the country to a new place. It was summertime and I needed something cool and incredibly sweet to drink while unpacking in the heat.
I took it out of the fridge the next morning to pour a glass and was shocked to see the entire pitcher was filled with this odd-looking cloudy iced tea. I'd never had that happen before!
It confused and concerned me. I ended up throwing it out and brewing a whole new pitcher because I wasn't sure if it was safe to drink.
Eventually, I figured out what caused this and I was able to brew ice tea without it going cloudy. Now that I understand what happens when ice tea turns cloudy, I can take steps to prevent it.
Here are the most common culprits for tea cloudiness.
Possible Causes Of Clouding
There are several possible reasons why iced tea gets cloudy, and each one can be easily fixed.
1. Hard Water
This turned out to be what was wrong with the tea in my new place: My tap water came from a well instead of a public water system.
Straight from the tap, the cold water tasted great but was full of minerals like magnesium and calcium.
This type of water is also known as hard water and the minerals that make water hard may dissolve when hot but reform when it's cooled down, showing up the next morning in your pitcher.
Solution: If you have hard water and suspect the minerals are what's clouding up your tea, you have two options.
 - Install a water filtration system in your home. You'll want to call a plumber for this, but it can be worth it to have good quality water available from every tap in your house.
 - Use distilled water for brewing your tea. You can buy it by the gallon at your local grocery store.
2. Unclean Equipment
Another thing that can cause cloudiness in your tea is residue from a previous brewing left on your kitchen tools.
 - Limescale in your kettle can build up and then flake off into your water as it boils.
 - Particles from loose-leaf tea can remain inside an unrinsed teapot.
 - Oils from certain types of tea or coffee can remain on unwashed utensils.
These residues can not only cloud up your brew–they also alter the taste, diminishing flavor and leaving an unpleasant aftertaste.
Solution: If your tea is not only cloudy but the flavor seems off, check the cleanliness of your kitchen equipment. You may find that your electric kettle has developed limescale deposits that are breaking off into your hot water, or that your dishwasher is not cleaning thoroughly.
Always be sure to clean your tea equipment with hot soapy water. You don't want to be drinking from dirty dishes and you definitely don't want to be brewing contaminated tea!
3. Heat Shock
Some of the compounds in tea, especially polyphenols like tannins and theaflavins, oxidize when exposed to an extreme temperature shock such as refrigeration.
Once oxidized, they bond with the caffeine in tea to form particles. While the tea is hot, they are dissolved into the liquid, making them invisible.
The white particles floating in the tea appear once it has cooled down.
A close up of a drink
Let the tea cool to room temperature naturally before adding ice
Solution: If your tea brews nice and clear at first, but when chilled it clouds up, then heat shock is likely to be the culprit. Once you've finished steeping, let the tea cool to room temperature naturally before adding ice.
To clear up a pitcher of tea that has become cloudy after chilling:
 - Remove your container from the refrigerator and add one cup of boiling water per quart of tea. Stir with a long spoon. This will cause the particles to dissolve again, suspending them in the liquid and clearing your tea right up. Pour the tea over ice cubes and serve immediately.
 - Another method to keep heat shock from clouding iced tea is to cold-brew it. Place room temperature water and black tea bags into a glass container for 8 to 10 hours for cold brewing. It can either sit on a sunny porch, making sun tea, or it can be placed in the refrigerator overnight.
The Final Word on Why Your Tea Gets Cloudy
If you're still not sure what is causing your tea to cloud up, here is a recipe for making cloud-proof iced tea that you can't go wrong with.
 1. Boil one quart of distilled water in a very clean pot. If you want sweet tea, add 1 cup of sugar and boil until dissolved.
 2. Turn off the heat. Place 1/2 cup of loose tea leaves or 8 tea bags into the water and cover.
 3. Let it steep for 8 to 10 minutes.
 4. Remove the bags or leaves and recover the pot. Let it sit for a couple of hours until it comes to room temperature.
 5. Pour into glasses filled with ice and serve immediately.
This recipe can be made with both black and green teas and will turn out perfectly clear iced tea every single time. You should never be stuck serving cloudy tea to your guests!
FAQs on Why Your Tea Gets Cloudy
Why is my hot tea cloudy?
While cloudy hot tea isn't as common as iced, it can still happen. The most likely culprit is hard water. Try brewed tea made from distilled water and see if that clears it up.
Is cloudy tea safe to drink?
Yes. If your cloudiness has been caused by hard water or heat shock, it may look unattractive but it will taste just the same and it will be perfectly safe. However, if you notice that the flavor is off as well, this may be caused by equipment that's been improperly cleaned, and you should toss the tea out before cleaning your equipment and brewing a fresh batch.

Turkey Government feeds stray Animals during COVID-19 Lockdown
While the coronavirus forces billions of people worldwide into lockdown, another large population is also severely affected; stray animals. This global lockdowns against the coronavirus are just like a death sentence to stray animals. They feel the bite as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads. Hundreds of stray dogs and cats have taken over the streets of major cities in search of what to eat and how to survive as the country remains under a coronavirus lockdown. These stray domestic animals have moved to fill the void, while also suffering the consequences of the pandemic.
But the story is not the same in a place like Turkey; it is good to hear that while the Turkish people stay at home to contain the spread of COVID-19, the government is tackling the issue of who will feed hundreds of thousands of stray animals in the country.
The Turkey interior ministry has decided that the job is the responsibility of local councils across the country and ordered them "to bring food and water to animal shelters, gardens, parks, and other areas where animals are found." The ministry insists that "all necessary actions must be taken to make sure stray animals don't go hungry", adding that dens and animals' shelters should also be sanitized.
Although Volunteers, activists, and residents usually feed Turkey's pack of strays, restrictions on movement and self-isolation have severely affected animal welfare. While councils sometimes provide services to street animals, it is unusual for the central government to order such a move. In Turkey's largest city, Istanbul, which has the most confirmed COVID-19 infections, there are around 128,900 stray dogs and 162,970 stray cats, according to the city 2018 figures.
Turkish social media users highly praised the move, with many thanking the Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu. The official Twitter account of Istanbul's Bayrampasa district shared photos of stray animals that were fed on April 5. The district said, they are with their true friends, with whom we share life.
One animal welfare organization in the Black Sea region has called on people who are over 65 years who were banned from going outside to contact their district governor to help feed the animals. Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul tweeted a picture of himself stroking a dog, saying: "We should not abandon our animal friends during these tough days." So far, Turkey has refrained from imposing a nationwide lockdown and instead advises the public to stay home.

WorldCat Metadata API Sandbox Testing
The WorldCat Metadata API does not have a true sandbox environment for testing. Instead, you will be issued a sandbox Web Service Key (WSKey) that is associated with a fake institution used for testing purposes. However, even when using a sandbox WSKey, you will still be making changes to the production data in WorldCat. For this reason, please make note of the following ground rules for sandbox use of the WorldCat Metadata API.
Some operations are safer than others
Changes to the following types of records are safe when using a sandbox WSKey:
 1. Set/unset holdings
 2. Create, Read, Update and delete LBD information attached to these records
When working with holdings data or or local bibliographic data, the changes will be specific to an institution. In this case, the sandbox institution. Your changes to these kinds of records will not affect your production data or that of another institution.
Holdings Operations are limited to test records
Operations on holdings are restricted for the sandbox institution. These operations are blocked unless the record's transcribing agency (the 040 $c subfield) is a test institution. This prevents Sandbox WSKeys from modifying non-test records. Developers are assigned test records when access is provisioned.
Caution is required for changes to Master Bibliographic Records
When you make changes to Master Bibliographic Records through the WorldCat Metadata API, you are changing the production data for a cooperative catalog. This means that updates to bibliographic records held by multiple institutions will affect all holding libraries.
To mitigate the risk for your development and testing of the Metadata API, when you request a WSKey for this service you will be assigned a set of 5 records that you can use for testing purposes. These records will be uniquely yours so they are the best records to use for testing purposes.
Any new Master records created with a Sandbox WSKey will be added to the live production copy of WorldCat even if you are using a sandbox WSKey. The best way to learn how to use the Master Bibliographic Record service is to first become familiar with the record formats and data model through the Update functionality against the sandbox records you are assigned.
Merging operations
Please note that the WorldCat Metadata API also simplifies your interaction with WorldCat Master Bibliographic Records. There are many complex matching algorithms that take place behind the update and create operations that OCLC uses to ensure the high quality and integrity of the WorldCat data set. This means that if you modify one of your sandbox records in such a way that you change certain data elements, the sandbox record may be merged into other producion records used by your institution or other OCLC members. Consequently, please do not create or update the data in the following fields of your sandbox test records in ways that they will match and potentially merge with existing WorldCat records:
 - Title statements
 - Author/Creator statements
 - Identifiers such as ISBNs and ISSNs
 - OCLC numbers
Help us with debugging: transaction IDs
To better assist us with helping you debug issues you encounter, follow the reccommendations in the guide to Getting Help Debugging Your Code when requesting assistance. Additionally, send a transactionID parameter with your requests when you are testing. A transactionID is is an arbitrary string not to exceed 200 characters which is meaningful to the caller. You can create your own transactionID by stringing together elements. For example a transactionID might be built by combining
 - OCLC Symbol being worked with or if using Sandbox OCLC Symbol of institution doing testing
 - date and time
 - principalID of user performing operation

Difference Between President and Vice President
President vs Vice President
Though there are Presidents and Vice Presidents in most democratic countries that are political offices held for the governance of a country, we are concerned with the titles of President and Vice President in the corporate world where these are titles held by officers in the management. Not many people are aware of the differences in the roles and responsibilities of Presidents and Vice Presidents that will be discussed in this article.
Time shave changed and so have organizational structures with specialization being the buzzword. Thus, we have CEO, COO, and of course the Presidents and the Vice Presidents. Who is more important in an organization, a CEO or a President and whose opinions matter more for the shareholders, President's or the Vice President's. All this is clear once a person understands the functions and responsibilities of President and Vice President.
Vice President is a title that is used commonly in large organizations. There may be many vice Presidents in a company with each Vice President specialize in a certain department implying a VP having specific set of skills. So we have VP finance, and we also have VP personnel. But irrespective of the number of vice presidents, there is a single person with the title of President. He is the most influential person in the organization and is equivalent to Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director.
In a company where there are many VP's, there is a convention to rank them according to their seniority. Thus, we have the Senior Executive VP who is the senior most VP, and he is the person next in command to the President. Thereafter, we have Executive VP, Senior VP and then just VP's of various departments. All VP's are under the control of the President, but in the absence of the President, it is the Senior Executive VP who performs the functions of the President. However, in the case of a successor being searched for the President, it is the board of directors that decide and not necessarily the senior most VP who becomes the President.
What is the difference between President and Vice President?
- President and Vice President are titles of key officers in an organization with President being the most powerful officer. He is considered to be equivalent to the CEO or the Managing Director of a company.
- There may be just one vice president in a small company but in the majority of instances, there are many VP's in a large organization, each having a specific set of skills reflected by their title. Thuis we have VP (finance), VP (personnel), and so on.
- Vice Presidents are under the control of the President.

The unexpected benefits of projects: evaluating Maker Monday commissions
The unexpected benefits of projects: evaluating Maker Monday commissions
We recently evaluated a project for BCU's Maker Monday initiative, identifying the extent to which four new commissioned pieces of work delivered to expectation. The criteria for evaluation were identified from the original proposal documentation and as such, it was quite clear what we would need to be exploring, largely through interviews but also in observing the project in progress and existing project data. However, in doing so we were also able to provide the project team with some additional findings that were unexpected but welcome. As part of the purpose of such an evaluation is to identify best practice and recommendations for similar future projects, this is always useful.
Some of these findings came about because of the nature of the project. It involved four artists working with partner organisations in Birmingham – as they varied in their disciplines and approach, but also in being humans who will address a brief differently, it was useful to be able to identify the freedoms that they were afforded in taking the brief in their own directions. Some artists were able to work more independently, while others desired more guidance. Some partners took on unexpected roles, while other artists appreciated the consistency and space they were given in their work.
This open approach to our research is important, Yes, the key priority is to evaluate against any specific criteria as the basis for the work, but to also understand and appreciate the supporting narratives and look for the unexpected successes or other outcomes of the work. Where our report will inform other reports that Maker Monday are required to make for their funder Arts Council England, we can hope that such findings can be included and valued.

Concrete Examples of Orderings
Last week, I noted that if you have an object with two components, each of which you know how to order independently, it requires at least a little thought to figure out how to do so. Moreover, there is a commonly used strategy, often called lexicographical order or dictionary order, for taking the ordering strategies for individual components and combining them.
The C++ library is considerate enough to implement dictionary ordering for its users in (at least) three places. The first is the
std::pair template, which defines the six comparison operators in terms of the corresponding operators of the pair's components. Specifically,
pair(x1, y1) < pair(x2, y2) is defined as x1 or ==. Part of its technique for doing so rests on the fact that the comparison x2 < x1 can take place only when it has already been established that x1 pair(x2, y2) is defined as pair(x2, y2) < pair(x1, y1) pair(x1, y1)!= pair(x2, y2) is defined as!(pair(x1, y1) == pair(x2, y2)) pair(x1, y1) <= pair(x2, y2) is defined as!(pair(x1, y1) > pair(x2, y2)) pair(x1, y1) >= pair(x2, y2) is defined as!(pair(x1, y1)< pair(x2, y2))
The underlying principles are easy to understand once explained:
- The pair template never depends on more than the == and < operations on the components.
- Order relations are defined entirely in terms of other order relations.
- Equality relations are defined entirely in terms of other equality relations.
- If the element types have relations defined that meet the library requirements, then the resulting relations on pairs will also meet the library requirements.
As a generalization of
pair, the library tuple template also implements the six comparison operators in terms of < and == on the
tuple's elements. Like
tuple does not reply on the other four comparison operators on elements.
The third place where the library implements dictionary order is in the
lexicographical_compare algorithm. This algorithm accepts two pairs of iterators, each of which defines a range of elements, and uses an extended version of this comparison procedure to compare the sequences:
- If both sequences have the same length and every element is equal to the corresponding element of the other sequence, the two sequences are considered equal. This case holds even if both sequences are empty.
- If one sequence is a prefix of the other, the shorter sequence is considered less than the other.
- Otherwise, the result of the comparison is the result of comparing the elements that make up the first discrepancy between the sequences.
This function offers an easy way to define sequence comparison in terms of element comparison when all the elements have the same type.
Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, one's first thought about how to define comparison between two data structures should probably be to compare the data structure's elements along the lines that we've been discussing. The main mistake that beginners make is to believe that it is possible to define
pair(x1, y1) < pair(x2, y2) as something such as
x1 < x2 && y1 < y2, which doesn't work.
There is another pitfall in defining comparison relations: Sometimes the obvious way of comparing individual elements doesn't always work. We'll look at some examples of that pitfall next week.

A framework for approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) that speeds up inference by parallelizing computation on single computers or whole clusters.
Project description
ABCpy is a highly modular, scientific library for approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) written in Python. It is designed to run all included ABC algorithms in parallel, either using multiple cores of a single computer or using an Apache Spark or MPI enabled cluster. The modularity helps domain scientists to easily apply ABC to their research without being ABC experts; using ABCpy they can easily run large parallel simulations without much knowledge about parallelization, even without much additional effort to parallelize their code. Further, ABCpy enables ABC experts to easily develop new inference schemes and evaluate them in a standardized environment, and to extend the library with new algorithms. These benefits come mainly from the modularity of ABCpy.

 It's time for the weekend unplug. This week we took the kids over to Irondale at the Whistle Stop Cafe and let them watch trains.
While it doesn't sound that exciting it is for my kids. They love trains, even my daughter enjoys watching down the line.
1. Take some snacks and water.
2. Keep track of the trains if they are a cargo, passenger etc.
3. Don't forget to count the carts.
4. Talk about the jobs of the engineer or conductor.
5. Help your children learn the difference between train engines.
6. Notice the signals and train safety.
7. Don't forget to take photos and videos of your kids watching the action.
8. I set an alarm when we go so the kids will know when it's time to go.
9. Go at different times of the day and night for different conditions, dusk, afternoon sun, fog, night lights etc.

This paper presents an empirical study of some non-exhaustive approaches to optimizing preferences within the context of constraint-based, mixed-initiative planning for mission operations. This work is motivated by the experience of deploying and operating the MAPGEN (Mixed-initiative Activity Plan GENerator) system for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission. Responsiveness to the user is one of the important requirements for MAPGEN; hence, the additional computation time needed to optimize preferences must be kept within reasonable bounds. This was the primary motivation for studying non-exhaustive optimization approaches. The specific goals of the empirical study are to assess the impact on solution quality of two greedy heuristics used in MAPGEN and to assess the improvement gained by applying a linear programming optimization technique to the final solution.

}{\epsilon_0}} \frac{\gamma}{i\,\omega\,\mu}\right|^2} $
Now the time averaged power per unit area incident on the interface (by calculating the Poynting vector) is:
$\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{\epsilon_0}{\mu_0}} |E_i|^2$
so that the momentum transferred to the metal for each unit of incident energy is:
$\frac{2\,\mathrm{Im}(\gamma)\,\sigma}{\omega\,\mathrm{Re}(\gamma) \left|1 + \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} \frac{\gamma}{i\,\omega\,\mu}\right|^2} \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} $
This is the ratio we seek. For the case $\sigma\rightarrow \infty$ this ratio approaches $\frac{2}{c}\frac{\mu}{\mu_0}$. For $\mu = \mu_0$, this is twice the value calculated in methods 1 and 2 because the infinite conductivity excludes the field from the metal, there is no loss and light is reflected without loss. So, just as there is an impulse $2\,p_z$ transferred to a wall by an elastic bounce of a ball initially with momentum with component $p_z$ into the wall, so too the impulse transferred to the mirror from energy $W$ is twice the momentum of the incoming light, i.e. $\frac{2\,W}{c}$.
Now we let $\sigma\rightarrow 0$ so that $\gamma\approx -i \,\omega\,\sqrt{\mu\,\epsilon} + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{\mu}{\epsilon}} \sigma$. I'll finish this case later, but it yields the same answer as methods 1 and 2 when $\mu = \mu_0$ and $\epsilon = \epsilon_0$, i.e. the light passes without reflexion into a weakly conducting medium and is absorbed.
Maxwell's equations are not consistent with Galilean relativity. They are implicitly relativistic. In relativity, the definition of mass is $m^2=E^2-p^2$. For a ray of light, $m=0$, so $E=|p|$.
 - $\begingroup$ So, just for the OP's benefit (although this OP seems to lose interest in his questions and not give too much feedback), there never was a version of electromagnetism that had to be upgraded to account for relativity. Indeed, historically, EM's Lorentz covariance that jarred with everything else and forced special relativity to be born. $\endgroup$ – Selene Routley Sep 29 '13 at 10:00
Your Answer


US alone. Worst case statistics show approximately 12 ferret attacks ever recorded in the US. Dr. Bruce Williams, DVM, adds: I can say from personal experience that there are many, many more bite incidents with the household dog or cat, and that either of these species tend to do a lot more damage. I have seen children require over a hundred facial stitches from getting between the dog and its food, but never anything like this with a ferret. But I've also been nailed by my share of ferrets too. Personally, I don't recommend ferrets for people with children under 6 or 7 - either the child or the ferret ends up getting hurt.
Subject: (3.9) What are the different ferret colors? Ferrets often change colors with the seasons, lighter in the winter than in the summer, and many of them lighten as they age, too. Different ferret organizations recognize different colors and patterns, but unless you're planning to enter your ferret in a show, the exact label isn't particularly important. Some of the more commonly accepted colors are described in general terms below, adapted from summaries written by William and Diane Killian of Zen and the Art of Ferrets and Pam Troutman of STAR*Ferrets. The albino is white with red eyes and a pink nose. A dark-eyed white can have very light eyes and can possibly be confused with an albino. These can actually range from white to cream colored with the whiter the color the better. A dark-eyed white (often called a black-eyed white) is a ferret with white guard hairs but eyes darker than the red of an albino. The sable has rich dark brown guard hairs with golden highlights, with a white to golden undercoat. A black sable has blue-black guard hairs with no golden or brownish cast, with a white to cream undercoat. The chocolate is described as warm dark to milk chocolate brown with a white to golden or amber undercoat and highlights. A cinnamon is a rich light reddish brown with a golden to white undercoat. This can also be used to describe a ferret with light, tan guard hairs with pinkish or reddish highlights. Straight tan is a champagne. A silver starts out grey, or white with a few black hairs. The ferret may or may not have a mask. There is a tendency for the guard hair to lighten to white evenly over the body. As a ferret ages each progressive coat change has a higher percentage of white rather than dark guard hairs. Eventually the ferret could be all white. White patches on the throat might be called throat stars, throat stripes, or bibs; white toes, mitts (sometimes called silver mitts), or stockings go progressively further up the legs. A blaze or badger has a white stripe on the top of the head, and a panda has a fully white head. A siamese has an even darker color on the legs and tail than usual and a V-shaped mask; and a self is nearly solid in color.
Subject: (3.10) What do you call a ferret male/female/baby/group? A male is called a hob, and a female is a jill. To some people, neutered males are gibs and neutered females are sprites, but these are new terms and aren't as commonly used. A baby ferret of either sex is a kit. The most commonly accepted phrase for a group is "a business of ferrets". Some people spell it "busyness" instead. Another possibility, "fastening" or "fesnyng," is thought to be due to a misreading of "bysnys" long ago.
Subject: (3.11) How can I help the ferret community? There are lots of ways you can help the ferret community at large. If your ferrets are very trustworthy and have had their vaccinations, [9.2] take them with you to the park or pet store and show people what wonderful pets they are, to counteract all the false rumors. (Be very careful, though: if your ferret should nip or scratch someone, even by accident, some states will kill him for rabies testing, even if he's been vaccinated. You may want to only let people pet his back.) Give good ferret information, perhaps a copy of this general FAQ and the Medical FAQs [1.1], to your vet. Adopt, foster, or sponsor a ferret from a local shelter, or donate old towels, shirts, food, litter, cages, money, or time. Many shelters could use help with construction projects, computer setup and use, recordkeeping, etc., as well as day-to-day ferret care, cage cleaning, and trips to the vet. (However, shelter directors are very busy people, and may have established routines they'd rather not have disrupted, so don't be offended if your offer of help is refused. Ask if there's something else you could do instead.) To find a shelter near you, see the STAR*Ferrets list of clubs, shelters, etc. [1.2] or contact a local ferret club. Participate in the "Support Our Shelters" coupon book program, in which you send $25 and receive a book of grocery store coupons of YOUR choice worth at least $200.

How Saudi Restaurants Can Increase their Efficiency With An Automatic KOT System
Technology has become an indispensable part of streamlining and running restaurant operations seamlessly. The restaurant Kitchen Order Ticket (KOT) is a small, yet critical aspect of the restaurant ordering system. KOT is a note which is forwarded to the kitchen and billing division, as soon as an order is placed while one copy is retained in the system for future reference. Kitchen Order Tickets primarily contain details related to the items ordered, table number, and the quantity. Having an automated restaurant KOT reduces the scope for manual errors, saves time, helps with real-time reporting of all the orders at your restaurant, and reduces monetary discrepancies. This article explains how an automated KOT System improves restaurant ordering and kitchen Operations and why restaurants in Saudi Arabia must consider shifting towards it.
How An Automated KOT System Will Improve Restaurant Ordering And Kitchen Operations In Saudi Arabia
Traditional KOT generation is a slow, manual process, having much scope for errors, and gives little room for monitoring and tracking the orders. Thus, it is important to switch to an automated restaurant KOT application that not only saves time and increases efficiency but also reduces your costs in the long run.
A smart restaurant POS provides instant KOT generation and helps manage other operations such as customer relationship management, inventory management, detailed reporting, etc.
An automated KOT system is easy to use and install. The entire process can be broken down into three simple steps:
 - Install KOT printers in the kitchen and bar.
 - Make sure that the kitchen prepares and supplies food, based on the printed KOT. Train all your staff accordingly.
 - Install the POS system at the foodservice desk.
Shifting to an automated restaurant generation process can have a lot of benefits. These are the various ways in which an automated restaurant KOT generation process can smoothen your restaurant operations:
1. Ease Of Use
The method of accepting orders into the POS is straightforward. After punching the orders into the system, one can automatically generate the restaurant KOT. Due to its touchscreen interface, it becomes easy for the servers to operate the KOT system. Even for the restaurant staff that is not very tech-savvy, a simple and automatic KOT generation process makes it much easier to process the orders.
2. Accelerates Restaurant Services
The food service process is accelerated as the order is punched on the shop floor, whereas the KOT is printed in the kitchen in real-time. In the traditional KOT generation process, there is always a requirement to handover the KOT manually.
This arrangement also saves time as it allows the automatic capture of data. It reduces the overall table turnaround and the time taken to serve the customers. This has a direct impact on customer satisfaction since it takes less time for your staff to communicate, prepare, and deliver the orders.
In case operators are looking for ways to further automate the restaurant ordering system, they can digitize the entire KOT generation process too. A Kitchen Display System (KDS) comes in handy as instead of printing a paper-based KOT, the orders are directly displayed on display screens along with the order details. KDS not only improves efficiency in your restaurant kitchen, but it also saves substantial time and helps improve the customer experience.
Why Do You Need Cloud Kitchen POS
3. Integrates Seamlessly With Online Ordering Platforms
One of the biggest challenges that restaurateurs often face is streamlining the food delivery orders from online ordering platforms such as Talabat, UberEats, etc. Unless your restaurant ordering system is automated, there are high chances that the online orders may get delayed or missed while sending them to the kitchen for preparation. An automatic restaurant KOT application system ensures that online orders are directly accepted at the POS, and the KOT is generated immediately and printed in the kitchen.
4. Reduces the Scope for Discrepancies
Restaurants can have complete control over their business through real-time monitoring, even if they have outlets at multiple locations. Live analytics allow you to view the number of KOTs generated and enable you to monitor your restaurant operations at all times, from anywhere.
As one can easily access daily sales and stock details, it helps in minimizing revenue leakage. When restaurant operators in Saudi Arabia can monitor the entire information related to raw materials, whether in stock or items that need to be ordered, etc. there will be fewer chances of duplicate orders. One can also exercise theft control because you can keep a tab on the inflow and outflow of materials in real-time.
5. Reduces Dependency On Manual Entries
In the manual KOT generation system, the wait staff always checks or rechecks the KOT. Automated restaurant KOT system not only reduces the manual tasks at hand but also lowers the labor costs. Besides, it also cuts down the wrong delivery problem as it contains the token number, which is also present on the bill.
New-age cloud restaurant POS systems are easy to install and do not require much space. When the billing apps are integrated with the KOT feature, restaurant operators do not need to invest much. These are usually affordable and bring an overall improvement to the business and the revenue earned.
An automated restaurant KOT application will not only help you accelerate your restaurant operations but will also help in reducing your operating expenses to a great extent. Invest in an automated KOT generation system and increase the efficiency of your restaurant operations in Saudi Arabia.

New technique for determining the optical constants...
|Title||New technique for determining the optical constants of liquids|
|Author(s)||C. Keefe, J. Pearson|
|Abstract||The traditional techniques of transmission and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy for determining the optical constants of liquids are not practical or reliable for very strong absorption bands. Specular reflectance can be used in these cases, but for volatile liquids it is impossible to separate the reflectance spectrum of the liquid from the absorption spectrum of the vapor above the liquid. Methods using special cells have been described in the literature to prevent the liquid from evaporating. In this paper, a similar technique that makes use of traditional transmission cells is presented. It is shown that this new technique generates k(νtilde) spectra for strong absorption bands that are accurate to approximately 2%.|

Check boxes are fine for data entry, but you may not want to use them on a formal report. For example, suppose you have a Yes/No field in your Employee Records table called Insurance. If the employee signed up for your company's life insurance plan, the box is checked; if the employee declined the insurance, the box is not checked. You want to create a report that lists employee name, ID, hire date, and whether the employee declined or accepted life insurance. Follow these steps:
- Create a query that displays Employee ID, Lastname, Firstname, Hire Date, and Insurance field from the Employee Records table.
- Right-click the Insurance field in the Query Design view and select Properties.
- Click in the Format property box and enter the following code:
- Click the Lookup tab.
- Click in the Display Control property box and select Text Box.
- Close and save the query.
When you create a report based on this query, either the word Accepted or Declined will replace the check box in the Insurance field.

What Is The Conoco Weather Clause (CWC)?
A charter party is contracted when a shipowner allows another party (commonly referred to as a charterer), to charter their vessel for the purpose of transporting cargo.
Within this agreement, the charterer would state the allotted time that is required to load and unload cargo to and from the vessel, which is known as laytime. Should the time frame for loading or unloading goods exceed the laytime, the shipowner is permitted to charge the charterer vessel demurrage fee.
The inverse is also true when the charterer completes the loading and unloading of goods earlier than the agreed laytime. The charterer is then allowed to claim a despatch fee from the shipowner.
There are various conditions and clauses that can affect laytime. In this article, we'll take a detailed look at the Conoco Weather Clause (CWC) and how it affects laytime and demurrage charges. We've also made sure to include a case study towards the end of the article for better understanding.
What Is the Conoco Weather Clause (CWC)?
The Conoco Weather Clause (CWC) is defined as "Delays in berthing for loading or discharging and any delays after berthing which are due to weather conditions shall count as one-half laytime or, if on demurrage, at one-half demurrage rate."
As such, CWC exists to ensure a shared burden between the shipowner and the charterer during unfavorable weather conditions that prevent berthing, loading, or unloading of goods.
How The Conoco Weather Clause Works
The Conoco Weather Clause is initiated by the charterer, and the ship owners are free to prove that any delays in berthing, loading, or unloading of goods are not caused by unfavorable weather conditions.
There are 2 principal guidelines to consider before a Conoco Weather Clause can be initiated:
- Laytime has already started.
- Proof, preferably documented, that the delays encountered are due to bad weather. The best evidence is to secure written confirmation from the port operator or the shipowner's agents that vessel operations have ceased due to bad weather resulting in port closure or work stoppage due to unforeseen weather conditions.
Establishing laytime is important because it is the basis for the computation of demurrage and disputes are often long undertakings. In the next section, we will discuss how laytime commences under the Asbatankvoy Charter Party and the Shellvoy Charter Party.
How Laytime Commences with Asbatankvoy Charter Party
In clause 9 established in the Asbatankvoy Charter Party, laytime can be established based on two requirements. First, a berth must be reachable on arrival (ROA), and second, a Notice of Readiness (NOR) has already been given by the master of the vessel.
Physical or Non-Physical obstructions do not form part of laytime such as:
- Non-availability of tugboats
- Congestion experienced in port
- Bad weather
- The NOR has already been issued but a vessel does not have access to its assigned berth
How Laytime Commences with Shellvoy 5 Charter Party
Under the Shellvoy 5 charter party agreement, an ROA is no longer required. Laytime can start based on two scenarios:
- 6 hours after the vessel arrives at its assigned berth and written notice has been given that the vessel is ready to load/unload cargo.
- If the vessel does not proceed directly to its berth, laytime may start 6 hours after the vessel is in the assigned waiting area or in what is defined as the port's waiting area, a NOR has already been issued by the Master of the vessel, and the berth is readily accessible.
A berth is deemed to be inaccessible if it is affected by bad weather, waiting for tugboats, or within the limits set by port traffic control. If a berth is accessible, but the vessel cannot dock due to weather conditions, laytime commences and CWC can be applicable.
When The Conoco Weather Clause Applies
Taking both types of charter parties into account, the Conoco Weather Clause applies when either of the following conditions is valid:
- The vessel is in berth and bad weather has disrupted loading and/or unloading operations.
- The vessel hasn't reached its assigned berth and is unable to berth due to bad weather conditions but the laytime has already commenced.
The Conoco Weather Clause applies only up to the time when bad weather ceases. Any other reasons that contribute to delay, such as port congestion, have to be assessed differently based on the actual events and circumstances.
Case Study: Conoco Weather Clause
One infamous scenario featuring a Conoco Weather Clause can be found in the case of Moutain Blossom. This case was arbitrated in New York with the facts of the case as follows.
Under the Asbatankvoy charter party, the vessel had arrived at the loading port and was unable to dock due to berth availability. While waiting, the port authorities declared that the port will be closed due to heavy fog.
The charterer sought protection and initiated the Conoco Weather Clause for port closure beyond their control. The arbitrator ruled that since the vessel could not get into the assigned berth due to the fog, one-half of the laytime did not count as part of the total laytime.

The Cosmos is October's Birth Flower
Everyone knows that they have a specific birthstone that is placed in jewelry and trinkets to signify the month they were born in. However, many people don't know that just like the stones, each month has a flower or two as well, which symbolizes birth. Here is the history and meaning behind your birth flower, the cosmos.
The Cosmos includes 20-26 species of annual plants native to scrub and meadow areas in Mexico, the southern United States (Arizona, Florida), Central America and northern South America south to Paraguay.
The plant can grow up to 2m tall and has simple leaves and petals. The flower colors vary between the different species. The plants are often used as decoration in gardens and around a home.
Cosmos is the Greek word for harmony or ordered universe. They are a pest free plant which helps keep bugs at a minimum in gardens and green houses, and grow very well in dry, hot climates like Texas. If planted in rich, fertile soil, tall plants will grow. Some species of the Cosmos requires constant sunlight through out the day and should not be planted in an area where it will have shade for a big part of the day. Because it is one of the easiest plants to grow it can be planted at various time including the spring for summer blooming or mid-summer for early fall blooming.
Fun and interesting fact: The Cosmos got its name from the Spanish priests grew the Cosmos in their gardens in Mexico. The evenly placed petals led them to christen the flower with the name it is now known by.

Bobblehead Dolls: A Brief History
A bobblehead doll is a collectible toy which is often referred to as a
nodder, wobbler, or bobbing head doll. The head of the bobblehead is often
larger than the rest of the body and connected with a hook or spring.
The spring or hook allows the head to bobble with just a light touch.
Bobblehead dolls are often constructed with a wide range of figures,
such as athletes. However, baseball players are the main types of
athletes who are utilized in the bobblehead designs. Bobblehead dolls
acquire their designs form breakfast cereal mascots, authors and
noble-prize winners. Sporting events sometimes hand out bobblehead
dolls as a promotion with the purchase of a ticket at the gate.
A Brief History of Bobblehead Dolls
The earliest bobblehead doll was thought to have been designed in the
year 1842 for the short story "The Overcoat". The neck of the main
character was referred to as "like the necks of plaster cats which wag
their heads." Modern day bobbleheads made their first appearance in the
1950s. By the 1960s, bobblehead dolls were being produced by major
league baseball organizations. Bobblehead dolls were created to
represent all baseball teams and were all designed with similar cherubic
That same year, the World Series brought specific baseball bobbleheads
like Mickey Mantel, Willie Mays, Roger Maris and Roberto Clemente.
However, all of the dolls were designed with the same face. The next
decade brought product material switching to ceramic instead of
papier-mache. The ceramic figures were than produced for all other
sports and cartoon created characters. The Beatles bobblehead dolls are
the most famous bobbling dolls of all time and were also created in
this era. The Beatles bobble-doll set is the most valuable collection on
the market today. Bobblehead dolls declined in the 1970s and it took
twenty years before bobbleheads would reappear back into society.
The main product material was changed once again to plastic instead of
ceramic. The material change provided manufactures the ability to lower
their processing costs, which made it possible to produce bobblehead
dolls in limited quantities for viable collectors. In 1999, the San
Francisco Giants were the first baseball team ever to distribute over
thirty-five thousand nodding dolls that resembled Willie Mays. Today
bobblehead dolls are iconic figures which are collected by children and
adults all across the nation.

Orish Chinna Nneka, Lekpa David Kingdom, Ibeachu Chinagorom P - University of Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, Faculty of Basic Medical Science, Department of Anatomy
MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE MENTAL FORAMEN IN ADULT NIGERIAN MANDIBLES (Abstract): Background: The detailed knowledge of the morphometry of the mental foramen in different populations is vital in clinical dentistry. The aim of this study was to determine the morphological features of the mental foramen in an adult Nigeria population. Materials and Methods: A total number of one hundred adult dry mandibles 89 males, 11 females from Anatomy departments of some Nigerian Universities were used for this study. Automatic vernier caliper was used to measure vertical and transverse diameters of the mental foramen.. Data analysis was analyzed with Graph Pad Prism 3.0. A comparison was made of the means of the dimensions using Student's T-test and analysis of variance. Results: The findings indicated that the most co mmon position for the mental foramen was in line with the longitudinal axis of the lower second premolar (69%) followed by a position between first and second premolar (25%),(6% on 1st molar. Our results showed horizontal diameter of 3.26 ± 0.01, and 2.87 ± 0.35 mm (left) and 3.23 ± 0.01, 2.26 ± 0,19 mm ( right ) for male and female respectively. The vertical diameter of 2.73 ± 0.09, 2.56 ± 0.27 mm (left) and 2.77 ± 0.09, 2.14 ± 0.18 mm ( right) for male and female respectively. Conclusion: This study will assist surgeons in maxillofacial procedures thus avoiding complications during surgery.

The Pitt-Addington Marsh WMA (Wildlife Management Area) supports over 200 bird and 29 mammal species. This WMA is generally a flat, alluvial floodplain made up of dyked and undyked areas.
Pitt Lake is the largest tidal freshwater lake in the world. There is a rare reverse delta at the mouth of the Pitt River, a result of deposition which occurs when rapidly flooding tides dam and reverse the main Fraser River outflow back up into Pitt Lake. The WMA also contains Pitt Polder Ecological Reserve, an area of sedge bog and two forested granitic outcrops rising 114 metres above the floodplain.
Parts of the WMA accommodate wildlife viewing and limited seasonal hunting.

Rmxprt to Maxwell creation
Whenever I convert Generator (Rmxprt Design ) to Generator (Maxwell-2D) it shows give me the different result of power and torque calculation of permanent magnet synchronous generator. can anyone help how these results are different in Rmxprt and Maxwell-2D? and one more thing how the Moving torque calculated in Simulation.
Rajesh Sirvi
IIT Kanpur
 - nchodenchode Forum Coordinator
 RMxprt result depends on the load type selected during the solution setup.
 For example, if you selected a constant power operation and defined the rated output power and rated speed. Rmxprt will output the proportional torque that will satisfy this condition, provided if it is achievable as per your configuration.
 So, the power output will be the rated output power you defined in the solution setup and torque will be such that it satisfies the power and speed condition.
 Coming to maxwell, It will calculate the max power that can be developed at the specified motion setup(angular velocity). thus the torque and output power may be different.

Question: Hogmanay - What is Hogmanay - Hogmanay Recipes
So, what is the celebration of Hogmanay?
Answer: Hogmanay is the Scottish celebration of New Years Eve and can last for days. No-one celebrates the eve quite like the Scots. It is believed the Scots inherited the celebration of Hogmanay from the Vikings and their celebration of the shortest day but many believe that as Christmas was virtually banned and not celebrated in Scotland from the end of the 17th century until the 1950's, New Years Eve was a good excuse for some revelry and the excuse to drink whisky and eat good food. Hogmanay involves parties and festivals across Scotland with the largest and most famous public party in Edinburgh.

Does Blu-ray Disc media have region codes?
 Blu-ray Disc media does have region codes, but unlike DVD players, the region codes for Blu-ray Disc media use letters instead of numbers to indicate a particular zone or region where the discs can be played.
 The Blu-ray Disc region codes are as follows:
 - Region A: North America, South America, U.S. Territories, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia
 - Region B: Europe, Africa, Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.
 - Region C: Asia (except for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia)
 - Region FREE: This is not an official setting, but discs that have the region FREE symbol either have no flag set or have all region flags (A, B & C) set.
 NOTE: The region codes for commercial Blu-ray Disc movies can be found on the back of the Blu-ray Disc case.
 The Blu-ray Disc device or drive will support playback of Blu-ray Disc purchased in the same region, unless otherwise specified in the player or computer documentation. In other words, computers and Blu-ray Disc players purchased in countries / regions corresponding to region A can play back Blu-ray Discs for region A, but cannot play back Blu-ray Discs for region B or region C. (The exception is a disc, player or drive coded as Region FREE.) The same will be true for a computer or Blu-ray Disc player purchased in another region.
 Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs are region-free and can be played back using a player that supports Ultra HD Blu-ray, regardless of the region where they were purchased.
 - The region code settings for a Blu-ray Disc player device cannot be changed.
 - The region code settings for a computer Blu-ray Disc optical drive can only be changed within computers that have software capable of effecting that change, and can only be changed a total of five times. Refer to the Blu-ray Disc player software documentation for instructions on how to change the optical drive region code settings.
 - For most Blu-ray Disc optical drives, whatever the region code the software is set to upon the fifth region code setting change will become the permanent setting. Once this occurs the region code setting cannot be changed again.
 - If the region code of the Blu-ray Disc optical drive has been permanently set to an undesirable region, and you wish to use Blu-ray Discs with a different region code setting, the drive will need to be replaced.
