It's Cold Outside...Let's Keep the Bogey Going
During an oral history interview with 95-year-old Alice Mercer, originally of Bay Roberts, I asked her to share some memories from her school days. She talked about having to go outside in all kinds of weather to use the washroom, and how it was hard work for the teacher to keep the classroom warm.
"We had stoves in all the classrooms. Teachers had a time to try and learn us something and keep the bogey going. One of the boys would come with a handful of splits in the morning and the bucket of coal. Used to buy the coal from the coal shed. He'd light the fire and it was up to the teacher then to keep it going. sometimes the teacher would forget it and it would go out. Then we'd get cold."
Wait, "...keep the bogey going"? What's a bogey? From the context of the conversation I could see that with her use of the word bogey, she was referring to a stove for heating, but since I hadn't heard that word before, I checked the Dictionary of Newfoundland English, just to make sure. It states:
bogie n also bogey, bogy. PARTRIDGE bogy 4 'a stove for heating'; SND ~ 'cooking galley on a fishing boat (1916); DC Nfld (1916-). A small stove used originally on a fishing schooner; applied generally to any small coalor wood-burning stove.
This was the word that Alice and her family would have used for a wood stove when she was a child. But do people still use it? And are there regions of the province that it is more widely known?
(The above photographs of two variations of small stoves, or bogeys, were taken from the Geography Collection - Historical Photographs of Newfoundland and Labrador on MUN's Digital Archives Initiative.)
If you have an experience with this word and its uses, please feel free to drop me a line and let me know.

3 Scale drawings
Have you ever drawn a plan of a room in your house to help you work out how to rearrange the furniture? Or maybe you've sketched a plan of your garden to help you decide how big a new patio should be?
These pictures are called scale drawings. The important thing with scale drawings is that everything must be drawn to scale, meaning that everything must be in proportion – that is, 'shrunk' by the same amount.
All scale drawings must have a scale to tell us how much the drawing has been shrunk by.
Example: In the garden
Here is an example of typical scale drawing:
Described image
Figure 16 A scale drawing of a garden
What's the width and length of the patio?
Hint: This scale drawing has been drawn on squared paper. This makes it easier to draw and understand. Each square is 1 cm wide and 1 cm long. So instead of using a ruler you can just count the squares and this will tell you the measurement in centimetres.
The scale in this drawing is 1:100. This means that 1 cm on the scale drawing is equal to 100 cm, or 1 m, in real life. Once we know the scale, we can measure the distances on the drawing.
Using a ruler (or just counting the squares), we find that the patio is 5 cm long and 3 cm wide on the drawing. This means that in real life it is 5 metres long and 3 metres wide.
So when you're working with scale drawings:
 - Find out what the scale on the drawing is.
 - Multiply the distance you measure by the scale to give the distance in real life.
Activity 6: Getting information from a scale drawing
 1. Let's stay with this scale drawing of the garden.
 Described image
 Figure 17 A scale drawing of a garden
 - a.What is the width and length of the vegetable garden?
 - b.What is the width and length of the flower bed?
 - c.How far is the patio from the vegetable garden?
 - d.Say you wanted to put a trampoline between the patio and the vegetable garden. It measures 3 m by 3 m. Is there enough space for it?
 2. A landscaper wants to put a wild area in your garden. She makes a scale plan of the wild area:
 Described image
 Figure 18 A scale drawing of a wild area of a garden
 What is the length of the longest side of the actual wild area in metres?
 3. Here is a scale drawing showing one disabled parking space in a supermarket car park. The supermarket plans to add two more disabled parking spaces next to the existing one, with no spaces between them.
 Described image
 Figure 19 A scale drawing of a car park
 What will be the total actual width of the three disabled parking spaces in metres?
 1. The answers are as follows:
 - a.The vegetable garden is 5 m long and 2 m wide.
 - b.The flower bed is 6 m long and 2 m wide.
 - c.The patio and vegetable garden are 3 m apart.
 - d.The distance between the patio and vegetable garden is 3 m and the trampoline is 3 m wide. So the trampoline would fit in the space, but it would be a bit of a squeeze.
 2. The length on the drawing is 9 cm, and the scale is 1:50. This means that 1 cm on the drawing is equal to 50 cm in real life. So to find out what 9 cm is in real life, you need to multiply it by 50:
 - 9 × 50 = 450 cm
 The question asks for the length in metres, so you need to convert centimetres into metres:
 - 450 ÷ 100 = 4.5 m
 The actual length of the wild area will be 4.5 m.
 3. You need to find out the width of three disabled parking spaces. The width of one parking space on the scale drawing is 2 cm, so first you need to multiply this by 3:
 - 2 × 3 = 6 cm
 The scale is 1:125. This means that 1 cm on the drawing is equal to 125 cm in real life. So to find out what 6 cm is in real life, you need to multiply it by 125:
 - 6 × 125 = 750 cm
 - 750 ÷ 100 = 7.5 m
 The actual width of all three parking bays will be 7.5 m.
In this section you have learned how to use scale drawings.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate a new wide bone-anchored hearing implant considering initial stability, stability over time, implant loss, and skin reaction. STUDY DESIGN: Consecutive, prospective case series. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Twenty adult patients were enrolled. All operations were 1-stage, single-incision technique with subcutaneous reduction. INTERVENTION(S): Measurement of implant stability. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were recorded using resonance frequency analysis at the time of implantation and at 10 days, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Skin and soft tissue reactions according to Holgers grading system. RESULTS: Implant stability quotient measurements revealed a significant increase in ISQ during the first 10 days after operation, and the ISQ values continued to rise throughout the 1-year observation period. No implants were lost. Skin and soft tissue reactions were rare and minor, as no reaction was seen in 93% of the follow-up examinations and no grade 4 reactions occurred. CONCLUSION: The new wide implant showed good stability at surgery. Osseointegration was fast, and implant stability increased throughout the 1-year observation period. No implants were lost. Skin and soft tissue reactions were rare and minor.

A family genogram, also known as a simple genogram, goes beyond a traditional family tree by allowing members of the community to identify patterns and psychological elements that influence relationships. Genograms were developed in clinical psychology and family therapy situations, but they have proven useful in academic and professional settings throughout time. Genograms are used by a diverse group of people in a variety of fields, including social work, genetic research, education, medicine, and others. A Genogram is a useful tool for comprehending the primary members of a family or community, as well as the many relationships in their lives.

Some bats keep flying in a light drizzle, but they take shelter when there's serious rain. A new study published online today in Biology Letters
finds one reason why: Bats have to work harder to fly when their fur and wings are wet. In a series of trials in Costa Rica, scientists studied
Sowell's short-tailed fruit bats as they flew around a large octagonal cage. Sometimes they first dampened the bats with tap water; sometimes the bats
flew wet and in the rain.
Bats used about twice as much energy when they were wet as when they were dry, the team found. Flying in the rain didn't make a difference, which ruled out some kind of mechanical problem caused by raindrops hitting wings, nor
did the actual weight of the water. The scientists think that wet bats, like most wet mammals, are cold, so they have to work harder to stay warm. And
with water mussing their silky fur and dampening their wings, bedraggled bats might also be less aerodynamic.

Pupils are taking steps to get healthy by measuring how far they walk using pedometers.
Secondary-aged students at Doncaster School For The Deaf will be joined by staff as they attempt to each walk 50 miles, the equivalent of walking to Derby.
The project is part of the Healthy Schools campaign, which encourages schools and colleges to improve the health and well-being of children and young people.
Jane Goodman, deputy headteacher of the school, said: "This is a fantastic way for us to encourage healthy behaviour amongst our pupils. Many of them live a long way away from the school and therefore can't make the healthy choice to walk to school.
"Using pedometers lets them stretch their legs and do some exercise in a fun and interesting way. Our pupils can relate to the distance from our campus to Derby, so it made sense for us to choose it as our destination."
The distance from Doncaster School For The Deaf, on Leger Way, to Derby is about 44 miles as the crow flies, or 51.5 miles by road.
It would take the average person more than 16 hours to walk 50 miles and they would burn off between 4,000 and 5,000 calories in the process.

Hello everyone,
I have been trying (without success) to determine the following. Let $P$ denote the space of monic polynomials of degree $n$ with complex coefficients, which have distinct roots. It is known that the fundamental group of this space is the braid group $B_n$. Let $X \rightarrow P$ denote the universal cover. Then $B_n\subset Aut (X)$ where $Aut (X)$ is the group of holomorphic automorphisms of $X$. For $n\geq 4$, is it true that $Aut (X)=B_n$? I do not see any other automorphisms (but I am a novice in the area).
share|improve this question
The space $X$ is very close to the Teichmuller space $T=T_{0,n+1}$, but they are a bit different: You can still act on $P$ (and, hence, on $X$) by complex affine transformations. Once you mod out $P$ (and $X$) by such action, you get the space $T$. It is Royden's theorem that for $n\ge 4$ the full group of biholomorphic automorphisms of $T_{0,n+1}$ is the mapping class group of the corresponding $n+1$-punctured sphere. The same holds for other finite type Riemann surfaces with few low-complexity exceptions (exclude torus, once punctured torus and 4 times punctured sphere). – Misha Feb 4 '13 at 18:17
Thanks, Misha. This really answers my question. I forgot about the action of affine transformations. – Venkataramana Feb 5 '13 at 0:30

Double Rainbow Over Salisbury Cove, Maine
June 27, 2008
Provided by: Dong-Eog Kim, Dep't of Neurology, Dongguk University International Hospital, Korea
Summary authors & editors: Dong-Eog Kim, Jim Foster
This well defined double rainbow was observed over Salisbury Cove, Maine, late in the day on August 11, 2004. Since the primary and secondary bows are so arched, and because the strongest colors are red and orange, it's evident that these bows formed near sunset. Note that the color scheme for the inner bow (primary) and the outer bow (secondary) are the reverse of one another. The darkened strip of sky between the bows is referred to as Alexander's band --named after Alexander of Aphrodisias, who first described it over 2,000 years ago.

The most difficult thing facing developers when they have bugs or crashes is that they can't always reproduce the issue on their end. Their end users are not always expressive enough to explain how they encountered a bug, and this is where Instabug's User Steps feature can help. This saves time for developers to reproduce bug and then fix them faster.
Let's explore more details about what we capture and how the user steps appear on the dashboard, as well as how to dig deeper using Repro Steps.
What do User Steps capture?
Instabug tracks UI Interactions, starting from the launch of the application and continuing as it runs, both in the background and in the foreground. You'll receive a list of UI elements that the user pressed or swiped before the bug occurred. This will tell you exactly how to reproduce the bug or crash that has been reported. User steps also capture most forms of events, including tap, force touch, long press, scroll, swipe, pinch, motion, application, or view. The way user steps are reported makes them easy to read; they're formatted in a very simple way. It varies from one platform to another which is explained in more detail for iOS and Android.
Next, let's see how to view the user steps in Bug Reporting and Crash Reporting.
Where can I find User Steps in my bug reports?
Navigate from your dashboard to the bug reports page (use the left navigation bar).
 1. Open any bug from the bugs list to view its details.
 2. Scroll down until you find the logging section where you can filter by user steps.
Where can I find User Steps in my crash reports?
Navigate from the dashboard to the crash reports page (using the left navigation bar).
 1. Open any crash from the crashes list to view its details.
 2. From the crash details page, click the "View Occurrences" button.
 3. Scroll down until you find the logs section. where you can filter by user steps.
Filtering the User Steps
You can also filter the user steps based on events. Just select from among the filtering options in the logs section.
What are Visual Repro Steps?
For Bug Reporting and Crash Reporting, you can check the visual representation of the user steps by clicking on the "Repro Steps" button. This will display the set of steps the user took while in a specific view. All the interactions that took place in this view are grouped together until the user navigates away from the view.
It's worth mentioning here that all of this is done without adding a single line of code! User Steps are available starting from the Team plan.
For more details and instructions on how to enable or disable user steps, please look at our documentation (iOS, Android, React-Native, Cordova & Xamarin).
Now that you've checked out the User Steps and Visual Repro Steps, you might want to see the rest of the log types we send with each report: Network Logs, Instabug Logs, Console Logs, and User Events.

"The Best Poster on the Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting"
The Raindrops Geneva Award is an art competition organised by the IRHA to promote Rainwater Harvesting and to increase public awareness on the importance of this topic.
For the fourth edition of this competition we looked for posters that illustrate the uses and/or benefits of rainwater harvesting.
The International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance is pleased to announce that the jury, chaired by Mr. Christian Rümelin (Chief Curator, Graphic Arts Department of the Arts and History Museum, Geneva) and made up of Mr. Jérôme Baratelli (Head, Visual Communication Department, HEAD Art & Design School, Geneva), Mr. André Klopmann (Vice Secretary, Chancellerie, Geneva), Mr. Alain Dick (IRHA, President) and Ms. Vessela Monta (IRHA, Executive Director), have now reached a decision and selected the three posters that best illustrate the uses and benefits of rainwater [cf. Rules of the Competition].
With over 750 submissions of very high quality entered from 77 different countries, selecting just three posters was not an easy task. All posters were reviewed carefully following a set of criteria specified in the Rules of the Competition and supplemented by the jury:
- The force and artistic value of the message, including technical and aesthetic considerations;
- The expression of the advantages of rainwater harvesting for mankind and nature;
- The pertinence of the presented experiences/examples of rainwater harvesting;
- The format: graphically speaking does this submission work as a poster.
The selection process was conducted as follows:
- All posters were saved anonymously* into one file.
- Out of all posters, 125 posters were preselected, using the above mentioned criteria. Any posters not matching the requirements stated in the Rules of the Competition were automatically excluded.
- The Jury discussed the remaining 125 posters: the jury reviewed the posters left in the competition and were able to reduce this figure by selecting those that stood out round after round. After long hours of debate, the overall number of 750 posters was reduced to just 15. It was decided that all 15 posters would be printed and presented at the Raindrops Geneva Awards 2013 Exhibition that will be held for a week on 21st March 2014 in the World Famous Courtyard of the Geneva Town Hall, with the support of the Republique et Canton de Genève.
- Selection of the three winning posters: A handful of posters clearly stood out and were voted on by the members of the jury. Each member of the jury was allowed three votes. The winning posters were those that received the majority of votes.
IRHA congratulates the following three winners:
1st Prize (1'000 CHF): Kateryna Korniienko-Heidtman for "Rainwater Use for Life"
2nd Prize (600 CHF): Eva Kay Norrington for "Smallest of Gestures"
3rd Prize (400 CHF): Jason Holmes for "0.3%".
The authors of the 13 posters shortlisted for the exhibition also deserve a huge congratulation:
- Nelu Wolfensohn for "Rain Drops, Life Drops"
- Francesca Reinero for "Rainwater is a free asset, use it"
- Anna Zima for "Life in every Drop"
- Pash Bolshakov for "The Perspective"
- Seyyedmehdi Mousavi for "Efficiency"
- David Walton for "Raindrops"
- Charlie O'Connell for "Rainwater Harvesting can turn your Life Around"
- Mikolaj Dobrucki for "Lower Price – Better Quality"
- Svetlana Tarasova for "Save Rainwater for your Washer"
- Tanya Krendel for "Raindrops create the Life Around Us"
- Zuzanna Chanska for "Water your Life with Rain"
- Marc Baker for "Baker_01".
[Photo Gallery of all 15 posters]
Finally, IRHA would like to say a special word of thank you to all the Arts Schools, Universities and Colleges who not only took part in the competition but fully integrated this contest into their syllabus.
With the Support of:
*All posters were kept anonymous throughout the selection process. The names of the authors of the three winning posters were revealed to the members of the jury only after the final selection had been made.

How To Merge Files Using Two ID Variables
From Q
Jump to: navigation, search
This page describes how to merge data files when each file needs to be merged using two different variables (e.g., a respondent ID variable and an observation number).
 1. Import the first file into Q as follows: File > Data Sets > Add to Project, select the source, and choose Use original data file structure and press OK.
 2. Create > Variables and Questions > Variable(s) > JavaScript Formula > Text, filling in the fields as follows and press OK.
 - Name: CombinedId (you can use any name)
 - Label: Combined ID variable (you can use any label)
 - Expression: id1 + " " + id2 (replace the variable names with your names)
 3. Tools > Save data as SPSS/CSV file, and save the file somewhere.
 4. Repeat the previous steps for the second file.
 5. Merge the two files in the normal way (see Merging Data Files).


1. Using 3/4-in. flat paintbrush, apply three coats of MagiKote to each ball, ensuring that you coat inside the indentations as well. Allow two-three hours dry time between each coat.
 2. Sand the entire surface to remove any rough edges.
 3. Using 3/4-in. flat paintbrush, paint entire ball Americana White Wash for the baseball and/or soccer ball, and Americana Cadmium Orange for the basketball. Paint a second coat when first has dried.
 4. Use a pencil to lightly draw the lines where the baseball stitches will go. Also draw on the soccer ball sections. After the painting step and the paint has dried, excess pencil marks can be easily erased.
 5. Use liner paintbrush to paint the lines of the basketball and the soccer ball using Americana Lamp (Ebony) Black. Using the same brush, paint the baseball stitches using Americana Berry Red.
 6. Use a flat paintbrush to fill in the black sections of the soccer ball.
 7. Erase any excess pencil marks.
 8. Use 3/4-in. flat paintbrush to add two coats of Starlight Topcoat.
 9. Cut a piece of sturdy string to 12-in. in length. Holding the two open ends together, tie ends in a knots, inserting the head end of a stick pin just before tightening. Insert pointed end of stick pin into the top of the ball. Before pushing the pin all the way in, add a dot of hot glue around the pin, then push the pin all the way in.

I have a value saved in a variable called $date, which contains the date in format 03/04/1986. The excel document I am working with has a lot of rows and columns. One row contains dates for the next 5 years. What I want to do is match the value of the date variable to the current date somewhere in the row, so iterate across the whole row until $date matches the date, so I know what column to update. How should I go about doing this?
Can you provide an example file?
Hello, i would suggest that you use filter, inside it, choose $date1 = $date2.
This will choose only the rows that contain that date, than you can use a for each, and update your excel file with the data you want.
Let me know if this helped
Hi _USER_ what would this look like? Is it the filter inside the read range activity? I can't seem to find where I would enter the filter, $date1 = $date2 at. Also, say $date1 = 02/05/65, what is $date2? Essentially how do I say look at this row in excel and keep going till it matches so that $date2 has a value
If you share an example file it will be easy to troubleshoot
1 - Read the data from your excel file, using Read Range Activity inside, Excel Scope Activity.
2 - Filter your excel data, where the column which has the dates, contains the date you want to exclude or find, outside the Excel Scope.
3 - An If activity, so that if the date found, than… etc.
4 - Update your column, using Write Range Activity, Inside Excel Scope.
Hope this clears things for you


The Basics of Applying for Legal Aid in Victoria
Share This Article
Lady JusticeWritten by Amelia Ramsay, Associate, Doogue + George Defence Lawyers
How am I going to afford a lawyer? Can I get legal aid to help me pay for legal representation? These are usually some of the earliest questions that arise when someone has been charged with a criminal offence and needs to go to Court. Here is some information about what you will need to apply for legal aid in Victoria and some information about eligibility.
The Application Process
When you meet with your lawyer, you will need to ask them about applying for legal aid funding for your matter. What this means is that a lawyer will apply to Victoria Legal Aid on your behalf and ask them to fund part or all of your legal fees.
You will first need to complete an application form. Below is a link to the form. You may wish to complete the form in advance of your meeting with a lawyer or simply familiarise yourself with the questions you will be asked.
Lawyers who are familiar with legal aid in Victoria will generally conduct a preliminary means test with you when you first ask for legal aid. The main factor will be how much money you earn. If you earn over the threshold amount or have any large assets then a lawyer will generally advise that it is not worth making an application. However, there are some factors that will tilt the scales in favour of legal aid funding including whether you have children you support, debts, credit cards and loans. If the money going out is more than the money coming in, your lawyer may advise you to make an application.
Once the form is completed and necessary supporting documentation forwarded to Victoria Legal Aid, they will assess your application and provide a response. It may take a couple of weeks to receive a response depending on how complicated your financial situation is.
There are three main factors that determine your eligibility for legal aid assistance.
 1. Your financial situation using a means test;
 2. What your case is about; and
 3. The benefit you are likely to get from your legal case.
The means test considers:
 - money you get from work, Centrelink benefits or other sources
 - if you own anything of value, like a house or a car
 - your weekly living expenses.
The means test also looks at whether you support anyone else, or if they support you. Importantly, your partner's income and assets are usually included when determining whether you are eligible for assistance.
You will need to provide evidence to support what you tell your lawyer about your financial situation. This might include bank statements, loan documents or a rates notice – both yours and your partner's. If you receive a Centrelink benefit, you will be asked to provide authority for Victoria Legal Aid to contact Centrelink and obtain confirmation of your entitlements. The sooner your gather all this material together and provide it to your lawyer, the sooner your application will be processed. If you are able to provide copies during your first meeting with your lawyer, you are already winning.
To prepare, make a list of the income you receive whether it is from paid employment, rent paid to you or dividends from shares. Then make a list of all your expenditure, bills, loan repayments, credit card debts, your child's care or education or support and what you spend on food.
Secondly, what your case is about will determine whether you are eligible for legal aid funding. This includes whether your charges are summary or indictable; what type of charges – such as violence, dishonesty, sexual offences, homicide or terrorism; which Court you are required to attend; and whether you plan to plead guilty or not guilty.
Thirdly, the benefit you are likely to get from your legal case. Victoria Legal Aid wants to know that their financial assistance is going to make a difference to what happens with your matter. This does not mean you have to guarantee that you will win but there needs to be some sort of benefit. That may be shortening the length of a trial or the difference between a sentence involving imprisonment and a community-based order.
The main factor you need to be concerned with is your financial situation and providing evidence or documentation to support what you put in your application form. Your lawyer and Victoria Legal Aid will work out the rest.
If you are granted financial assistance in your matter, you must remember to report any changes to your income or financial situation during the life of your Court matter. In some cases, this could be for a few years. Similar to a Centrelink allowance, if you start earning more money it is likely that your funding will be reduced and if you fail to report the change, you may be asked to repay money down the track.

How to Convert HVAC Tons to Amps
An air conditioner's cooling capacity is measured in tons.
-•• Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
In the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, tons are used as a way to measure an air conditioner's cooling capacity. In particular, one HVAC ton is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs per hour. One BTU refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 lb. of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. To convert tons to amps, you must first convert tons to BTUs per hour, after which you can convert this value to watts, then use the formula amps = watts / volts to solve for amps.
 Convert tons to BTUs per hour by multiplying it by 12,000. Given an air conditioner with 2 tons of cooling power, for instance, multiply two by 12,000 to get 24,000 BTUs / hour.
 Multiply BTUs / hour by.293 to convert it to watts. Given the example, multiply 24,000 by.293 to obtain 7032 watts.
 Divide watts by the given voltage value. Air conditioners in the United States operate on 120 volts, so given the example, divide 7032 watts by 120 volts to obtain a final answer of 58.6 amps.

Loreto Education Trust
Both Mary Ward and Teresa Ball responded to the needs of their time by establishing schools and using the work of education to spread the message of the Gospel. These schools flourished and, by the middle of the 20th century, there were over 30 schools in Ireland which drew their defining ethos from the spirit of the Loreto Congregation. Over time, lay colleagues shared in the delivery of education, the leadership and management of the schools. The final link in that chain was sharing in the trusteeship of the schools. In 2004, the Provincial and her Council established the Loreto Education Trust with responsibility for this trusteeship. Both sisters and lay people are appointed as directors of the Trust. This body will ensure that the Loreto ethos is both safeguarded and developed in the schools into the future.

Sarson Ka Saag
Sarson Da Saag (as it is known in Punjabi) or (Sarson Ka Saag, in Urdu) is a popular vegetarian dish from the Punjab region of South Asia. It is made from mustard greens (sarson) and spices such as ginger and garlic. It is often served with makki di roti.
Origins and history
The dish is regarded as the traditional way to prepare saag and is usually served with makki di roti. It can be topped with either Makkhan (unprocessed white butter or processed yellow butter) or more traditionally with ghee (clarified butter). Some spinach (called palak ) may be added to enhance colour and thicken the dish, though this may alter the flavor. Also added are some bathua, sarson greens, onion, tomato and all ground spice.
Mustard is a winter and spring delicacy, and its relative abundance in Punjab has made it one of the most popular dishes in those regions.


Thermoregulatory Sweat Test
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a heritable, progressive disease that causes the buildup of amyloids, or clumped proteins, in the nervous system and elsewhere. These amyloid deposits cause the death of nerve cells and interfere with the function of the tissue in which they accumulate.
Diagnosing FAP is challenging because the symptoms are similar to those of other neurodegenerative diseases. A thermoregulatory sweat test can help physicians determine a FAP diagnosis.
How is the thermoregulatory sweat test performed?
Sweat glands are controlled by nerves in the skin; autonomic nerve signals are sent from the brain to tell the glands to secrete sweat. In FAP patients, this nerve signal can be interrupted by the formation of amyloid deposits around the nerves.
The thermoregulatory sweat test is performed at a hospital or clinic. Patients have an area of skin (usually hands, feet, arms, or legs) dusted with a powder that responds to moisture by changing color. The patient sits or lies down in a warm, moist room to encourage sweating for a set period of time. The degree of color change at the end of the test is proportional to the amount of sweat produced, which is, in turn, is proportional to nerve activity.
What do results of the test indicate?
Results of the thermoregulatory sweat test indicate whether a patient has loss of nerve function, which may indicate a neurodegenerative disorder such as FAP.
On its own, the thermoregulatory sweat test does not mean that the patient has FAP specifically, but can indicate that a nerve defect is present.
The thermoregulatory sweat test can also be used to measure disease progression once a diagnosis has been reached. As the disease progresses, scores will change, reflecting the decrease in nerve function.
The thermoregulatory sweat test may be performed in combination with a quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART), another measure of nerve activity.

The Panda is a light dynamic sounding penetrometer with variable impact energy. The Panda test provides an initial geotechnical study, determines lithology, foundation pressures and provides you with the best foundation advice for your project.
The Panda test works to a depth of five meters, hammering metallic rods with a lost cone tip into your soil. An electronic data device records all the information and immediately calculates the dynamic resistance of the cone (qd) based on a Dutch formula. For each blow, the depth and the impact velocity of the hammer is automatically registered. This allows us to calculate the impact energy for each blow.
Several studies have shown that the Panda measurements are as accurate and reliable as the cone penetration test (CPT). The benefit is that the Panda equipment can be used where the CPT vehicles are not suitable.
Thanks to its compact size and light weight (only 25 kilograms), the Panda sounding device is extremely mobile and able to investigate areas with limited access or height restrictions. For example, it can be used in basements, on very steep slopes, in back yards and tunnels.
We have solutions to suit your soil type. For a solid foundation for your building project, call our team today.

How to Install a Hanging Mirror on a Door
Installing a hanging mirror on a door is a little different from hanging one on a wall. Hollow doors are not strong or dense enough to hold mounting screws, but you can support the mirror from the top of the door. With solid doors, a more traditional approach with screws should hold an average mirror. Extremely heavy mirrors are not suitable for hanging on a door, as the weight can cause the door to sag on its hinges.
Holllow Door Installation
 1. Use Over the Door Mirror Hooks
 2. Slip an over-the-door hanging hook over the top edge of the door, advises Mirror Coop.
 3. Attach the Wire to the Hook
 4. Hang the wire on the back of the mirror over the hook on the door. If the back of the mirror has a pair of D rings and no wire, string picture hanging wire between the two rings and twist the ends of the wire together until the wire is taut and secure.
 5. Stick the Bumper to the Door
 6. Peel the backing off a felt or rubber bumper and stick it to the door behind the mirror, toward the bottom edge of the mirror. It should be high enough behind the mirror not to show, but low enough to protect the mirror from bouncing against the door.
Solid Door Installation
 1. Position the Mirror
 2. Hold the mirror against the door where you want it to hang, with the back side facing out.
 3. Mark the Position
 4. Make a pencil mark on the door at the top of the mirror and at the left and right sides of the mirror.
 5. Take Your Measurements
 6. Measure the mirror from the top edge down to one D ring on the back. If the D rings have picture hanging wire strung between them, remove it.
 7. Measure down from the mark you made on the door for the top of the mirror to the location of the D ring, using the measurement you took in Step 3. Mark the door again at that location.
 8. Use a Level
 9. Place a 4-foot level horizontally against the door, aligning the upper edge of the level with the pencil mark you made for the D ring. Adjust the level, centering the bubble. OOK by Hillman recommends tracing the edge of the level onto the door with a pencil.
 10. Place the level vertically on the door and align the edge with the pencil mark you made for the left side of the mirror. Adjust the level until the bubble is centered, denoting that the line is plumb or vertically straight. Trace the edge of the level with a pencil until it intersects the level horizontal line. Repeat to make a vertical line on the right side.
 11. Take Your Second Set of Measurements
 12. Measure the mirror from the left side straight across to the center of the closest D ring. This measurement denotes where the left mounting screw goes.
 13. Measure across the horizontal line from the spot where the left vertical line intersects it, and mark the spot where the left mounting screw goes, using the measurement you took in Step 8. Repeat for the mounting screw on the right-hand side.
 14. Drill Pilot Holes
 15. Drill pilot holes into the door to a depth of approximately 3/4 inch at the mounting screw marks. Use a power drill and a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw shank.
 16. Install Wood Screws
 17. Insert a 1-inch, coarse-thread wood screw into the door at each pilot hole using a Phillips head screwdriver. Leave the screw head raised up from the surface of the door approximately 1/8 inch.
 18. Finish Installing the Mirror
 19. Hang mirror on door by lowering the mirror onto the screws until the D rings catch the screws.
 20. Things You Will Need
 - Over-the-door-style hanging hook or wreath hanger
 - Picture-hanging wire (optional)
 - Adhesive-backed felt or silicone bumpers
 - Pencil
 - Measuring tape
 - 4-foot level
 - Power drill
 - Small-diameter drill bit set
 - 1-inch coarse-thread wood screws
 - Phillips head screwdriver
 Some mirrors have hanging mechanisms such as ribbons or cords that are only decorative and not intended to bear the weight of the mirror. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions, and use special hardware when recommended or provided.

Query Components with Apollo
Kureev Alexey
Senior Software Engineer @ Twilio
Enjoy the ride! 🚀
Apollo + Query Components hype rocket!
Anatomy of Query Components
const QUERY = gql'
 query allCities($country: String!) {
 allCities {
class CitiesQuery extends Component {
 render() {
 return this.props.children(;
export default graphql(QUERY, {
 options: ({ country }) => ({ variables: { country } }),
Comparing to the standard approach where you add a graphql wrapper to your higher-order components, query components have a set of advantages:
Once a Query Component is defined, it can be used as any other component in your application:
class MapPicker extends PureComponent {
 render() {
 return (
 //...
 {({ allCities }) => }
 //...
Mutations with Query Components
const MUTATION = gql'
 mutation (name: String!) {
 createProposal(input: $input) { clientMutationId }
class UserMutation extends Component {
 constructor(props, ctx) {
 super(props, ctx);
 this.execute = () => this.executeMutation();
 executeMutation() {
 variables: {
 render() {
 return this.props.children(this.execute);
export default graphql(MUTATION)(UserMutation);
Therefore, you can use this component in a similar way:
class Profile extends PureComponent {
 render() {
 return (
 //...
 {execute =>
 //...
Testing Query Components like a pro 😎
How to test Query Components?
One of the very first things we would like to test is that every Query Component is able to produce variables, required by a query. To ensure that, we check a shape of resulting variables.
Another assertion that we would like to make is about response shape. In other words, we check if given data.x complies with the shape of the mock that was passed to the fake client during initialization.
And the last, but not least: query component should call a function that we pass as a child with the data pulled from Apollo. Altogether, the test suit looks like this:
describe('CitiesQuery component', () => {
 it('renders children with a query result', () => {
 const spy = jest.fn(() => null);
 const config = {
 context: {
 client: makeFakeClient({
 resolveWith: {
 allCities: allCitiesFixture,
 shallow({spy}, config).render();
The very last uncovered function is makeFakeClient. It is a self-written helper that generates an Apollo Client with a fake link:
import { ApolloLink, Observable } from 'apollo-link';
import ApolloClient from 'apollo-client';
function createMockLink(options) {
 return new ApolloLink(() =>
 new Observable((observer) => {
 if (! {{
 data: options.resolveWith,
 } else {
export default options => new ApolloClient({
 link: createMockLink(options).request,
 cache: new InMemoryCache(),
Where to go from here
Don't hesitate to ask questions, challenge this approach and share your ideas about Apollo and GraphQL overall. You can always find me on Twitter or Discord (kureev on _TAG_).
Oh yeah, and last but not least: if you like this or any other of my articles, don't hesitate to become a part of it! Your support is greatly appreciated!

Paper Session: Student Experiences SIGCSE '20, March 11–14, 2020, Portland, OR, USA
Increasing retention in computer science (CS) courses is a goal of many CS departments. A key step to increasing retention is to understand the factors that impact the likelihood students will continue to enroll in CS courses. Prior research on retention in CS has mostly examined factors such as prior exposure to programming and students' personality characteristics, which are outside the control of undergraduate instructors. This study focuses on factors within the control of instructors, namely, instructional practices that directly impact students' classroom experiences. Participants were recruited from 25 sections of 14 different courses over 4 semesters. A multi-level model tested the effects of individual and class-average perceptions of cooperative learning and teacher directedness on the probability of subsequent enrollment in a CS course, while controlling for students' mastery of CS concepts and status as a CS major. Results indicated that students' individual perceptions of instructional practices were not associated with retention, but the average rating of cooperative learning within a course section was negatively associated with retention. Conconsistent with prior research, greater mastery of CS concepts and considering or having declared a CS major were associated with a higher probability of taking a future CS courses. Implications for findings are discussed.

The most common type of chloride present in a dog's system is sodium chloride. But this mineral performs a lot of functions, and it can also be reformed into hydrochloric acid, which can be found in your pet's stomach. This substance is essential for the digestion of any type of food.
In today's article, we are looking at high or low chloride in dogs' blood, its causes, its diagnosis, and its treatment, and we're also discussing supplements that contain this mineral and what they can be used for.
Why Should Chloride Exist in Your Dog's Blood?
Both potassium and sodium chloride have to be present in your dog's blood flow as they can regulate the transmission of substances from one cell to another. Chloride ions are also essential when it comes to composing the electrolytes that can be found in your pet's system.
On top of that, chloride ions are in charge of keeping your pet's blood volume within stable limits. This means that your dog shouldn't have high or low blood pressure if the amount of chloride ions they have in their blood is normal.
The kidneys are in charge of managing the quantities of sodium and potassium chloride present in your dog's body. Therefore, pets that have renal pathologies are likely to have issues with their chloride levels.
Natural Sources of Chloride
Since the most common kind of chloride is actually sodium chloride, this means that the most common source is table salt. However, dogs and cats should not have high amounts of salt as it can wreak havoc on their bodies.
Chloride can also be found in unprocessed meat and fish, as well as several types of fruit, but the quantities in these sources are relatively low, so they are actually safer compared to supplements. Even eggs contain 4 to 7% of sodium chloride.
Hyperchloremia – Too Much Chloride in Your Pet's Blood
Hyperchloremia can have several different causes, and that's because it depends on the type of chloride whose level increases in your dog's blood. For example, if your dog has had too much salt, they might experience some of the following symptoms:
- A lack of appetite for water
Some dogs can experience somewhat similar symptoms when their potassium chloride levels are increased. This usually happens when pets receive IV fluids, and they don't have enough time to absorb the electrolytes properly.
The two most common symptoms seen in dogs with increased levels of potassium chloride are hyperventilation and kidney health issues, so changes in the dog's urinary habits, as well as diarrhea.
High blood chloride can also be caused by other factors, such as those listed below:
- Cushing's disease
- NSAIDs (meloxicam or carprofen)
Hypochloremia – Low Levels of Chloride in Your Dog's Blood
Low blood chloride is somewhat less common than high blood chloride, especially in healthy adult dogs. Most pets get the nutrients they need from the commercial diets they have.
Even though some pet owners might be adamant about not giving their dogs salt in any situation whatsoever, those animals are still not going to end up developing hypochloremia.
However, this health problem can be caused by dehydration, a secondary symptom of infectious and non-infectious gastrointestinal disease, where the dog vomits and has diarrhea, therefore losing precious electrolytes.
Other causes of hypochloremia are Addison's disease, the use of laxatives and diuretics, as well as chronic heart disease. Bicarbonate (which is toxic to dogs and should never be given to them for an upset tummy) can also cause hypochloremia, and its IV use should also be carefully analyzed.
How Are Chloride Variations Diagnosed and Treated?
Simple blood tests can reveal any changes in your dog's blood chloride levels, but the issue is that this type of test is not exactly commonly used. What we mean by this is that the vet specifically has to suspect a condition that correlates with chloride changes.
Standard blood tests might not be enough. A blood biochemistry panel for sodium and potassium can be revealing in this sense.
As for the treatment, it depends on your dog's health status. Generally, chloride blood level changes can be treated with IV fluids as they are the best when it comes to balancing the electrolyte blood levels that your dog has.
The pet might also have to receive symptomatic therapy for the clinical signs that they are showing, so as to stop dehydration, for example – anti-nausea medication or specific medication for diarrhea.
Although sodium or potassium chloride can be ingredients of various vitamin and mineral complex supplements, there are specific products made for dogs that have had hyperor hypochloremia in the past or those that have urinary health problems.
For example, ammonium chloride is a urine acidifier that can be used for urinary stones or for treating poisoning or metabolic alkalosis. It's less commonly utilized in pets; however, it is more common in large animal veterinary medicine. Pets usually receive potassium chloride supplements, such as those specifically designed for renal health.
In any case, adding supplements to your dog's diet should only be done under the guidance of a veterinarian, so make sure you talk to your vet beforehand. They know best what conditions your dog might have and if one supplement or another might be dangerous for their health.

Context recognition is an essential aspect of intelligent systems and environments. In most cases, the recognition of a context of interest cannot be achieved in a single step. Between measuring a physical phenomenon and the estimation or recognition of what this phenomenon represents, there are several intermediate stages which require a significant computation. Understanding the resource requirements of these steps is vital to determine the feasibility of context recognition on a given device. In this paper, we propose an adaptive context-recognition architecture that accommodates uncertain knowledge to deal with sensed data. The architecture consists of an adaptation component that monitors the capability and workload of a device and dynamically adapts recognition accuracy and processing time. The architecture is implemented for an audio-based context recognition. A detail account of the tradeoff between recognition time and recognition accuracy is provided.

Consider $n$ numbers randomly generated by independent generators that can produce integers from $0$ to $n$. How many of these integers will be missing on average for large $n$? If $p_{k,n}$ is the probability that $k$ is generated by a given generator then the probability that it is missing from all $n$ is $(1-p_{k,n})^n$, so $E_n=\sum_{k=0}^n(1-p_{k,n})^n$ is the expected number of misses. If all $k$-s were equally likely, i.e. $p_{k,n}=\frac1{n+1}$, it is easy to estimate: $E_n=\sum_{k=0}^n(1-\frac1{n+1})^n\sim\frac{n+1}e+\frac12+O(\frac1n)$, i.e. just over a third of integers will be missing.
I am interested in the case when the numbers are generated binomially: there are $n$ heaps of objects with $n$ in each heap, and each one is kept or discarded with probability $\frac12$. The resulting number of objects in a heap is then $k\leq n$ with probability $p_{k,n}=\frac{C_n^k}{2^n}$. For this distribution we expect the counts to cluster symmetrically around $k=\frac{n}2$, so using the Stirling formula or the local limit theorem $p_{k,n}\sim\frac1{\sqrt{\pi n/2}}e^{-\frac{(k-n/2)^2}{\pi n/2}}$, and after shifting and rescaling $E_n\sim2S_{\frac{n}2}$, where $$S_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\Big(1-\frac1{\sqrt{\pi n}}e^{-\frac{k^2}{\sqrt{\pi n}}}\Big)^{2n}.$$ If not for the $2n$-th power there are standard methods using Mellin transforms or the Euler-Maclaurin formula to find asymptotics of such sums, but as is...
Using the binomial formula on the inside looks like a bad idea, it produces terms with positive powers of $n$ and alternating signs, so there must be massive cancellations since obviously $S_n\leq n+1$. There are thresholds for terms' behavior at large $n$. Let $$k_{n,\varepsilon}^2:=(\frac12+\varepsilon)\pi n\ln n+\frac12\pi\!\ln\pi\,n,$$ then the summands are exponentially close to zero if $k\leq k_{n,-\varepsilon}$ and inverse power close to $1$ if $k\geq k_{n,\varepsilon}$. So $$\big(n+1-k_{n,\varepsilon}\big)\big(1-O(n^{-\varepsilon})\big)\lesssim S_n\lesssim n+1-k_{n,-\varepsilon}.$$ This does imply that the fraction of missing integers approaches 1 for large $n$, but it is not exactly sharp, and I do not see how to make it so (one can improve on it slightly by noticing that for $k^2\gtrsim n^{1+\varepsilon}$ the terms are exponentially close to $1$). There is an intermediate range with $k^2:=\frac12\pi n\ln n+\frac12\pi\!\ln\pi\,n+O(1)$, which corresponds to summands $(1-\frac{c}n)^{2n}\sim e^{-2c}$, with $c$ from $O(1)$. It almost seems like one has to sum or integrate over "ranges" with orders of growth in place of numbers and then add the results. But I do not know what that can mean exactly for the intermediate range, and I have not seen anything of this sort done. Perhaps, one should "change variables" to transform the range somehow.
Any advice/ideas/references are appreciated. It is entirely possible that I am on the wrong track, this seems like a reasonable probabilistic/combinatorial question and there might be standard methods for asymptotics of such sums that I missed. This example is representative of a type I am interested in, with sums of $n$-th powers of terms close to $1$.
 - $\begingroup$ This question might be improved by cutting it off after "probability 1/2". In particular I recommend against describing bad ideas with more than one sentence. $\endgroup$ – Matt F. Jan 24 '18 at 4:25
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_. Let's hope someone has better ideas. I expected suggestions along these lines because they were made in somewhat similar problems (where only one range contributes to the leading term and the rest are estimated as negligible), so this is to suggest that some additional ideas are needed to make it work here. But I will be happy with a completely different idea that works. $\endgroup$ – Conifold Jan 24 '18 at 23:46
 - $\begingroup$ From what you wrote, it seems that you are able to obtain that $1-O(1/\sqrt{n\log(n)})$ elements will be missing. Are you looking for something sharper? $\endgroup$ – N. Gast Jan 26 '18 at 7:40
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_.Gast Yes, I'd like to know what the leading term(s) are for $n-S_n$ (number of present integers), naive guess is $n-S_n\sim\frac12\pi n\ln n+\frac12\pi\!\ln\pi\,n$, but I do not know how to get rid of the $\varepsilon$-s so it is possible that the growth is more subtle. And I'd like to know a general approach for refining the asymptotic for similar sums (which would come in estimating variance, etc.), if there is one, these estimates seem ad hoc and unimprovable along these lines. $\endgroup$ – Conifold Jan 26 '18 at 17:06
 - $\begingroup$ I must say that I do not know a general way to obtain such estimate. If I were to try, I would use the same approach as you do and would try to get rid of the epsilon by using some kind of uniform bound like Hoeffding's inequality. $\endgroup$ – N. Gast Jan 29 '18 at 9:12
The expected number of values hit is asymptotic to $\sqrt{n\log n}$.
Start with Stirling's formula: $$ P(n,k) := 2^{-n}\binom{n}{n/2+k} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi n}} e^{-2k^2/n} (1 + O(1/n)), $$ provided $k$ is not too large (smaller than $n^{1/3}$ is more than enough).
The probability that value $n/2+k$ is hit is $$P(n,k)=1 - \biggl(1 - 2^{-n}\binom{n}{n/2+k}\biggr)^n.$$ Now scale by $k=x\sqrt{n\log n}$. Dropping the error terms for simplicity, and using $(1-z)^n=e^{-zn+O(z^2n)}$ we have $$P(n,k) \approx P_0(n,x) := 1 - \exp\biggl( -\frac 2\pi n^{1/2-2x^2} \biggr).$$
The function $P_0(n,x)$ has a plateau shape with tiny tails. As $n\to\infty$, we have $$ P_0(n,x) ~~\begin{cases} \to 1, & |x|<1/2\\ = 1 - e^{-\sqrt{2/\pi}}, &|x|=1/2\\ \to 0, & |x|>1/2, \end{cases} $$ where in the first and third cases convergence is very rapid. Thus we have $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty P_0(n,x)\,dx \to 1 ~\text{ as $n\to\infty$}.$$
The sum and the integral are asymptotically equal (which in this case is easy to see since the function rapidly converges to a step function), so we conclude that $$\sum_{k=-n/2}^{n/2} P(n,k) \sim \sqrt{n\log n}.$$ In detail, for any $\epsilon>0$, values in $[n/2-(1/2-\epsilon)\sqrt{n\log n},n/2+(1/2-\epsilon)\sqrt{n\log n}]$ almost certainly appear and values outside $[n/2-(1/2+\epsilon)\sqrt{n\log n},n/2+(1/2+\epsilon)\sqrt{n\log n}]$ almost certainly don't appear.
All this could be done with more precision.
ADDED: Working directly, if $|k|\le \frac12\sqrt{n\log n}-\sqrt{n}$ then $n/2+k$ almost certainly occurs, while if

It is well known that in a given $\delta$-hyperbolic group there are only finitely many conjugacy classes of finite subgroups. This is clearly false for relatively hyperbolic groups since we have no control over the parabolic subgroups. Fix a relatively hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ with parabolic subgroups $P_i$. Are there only finitely many conjugacy classes of finite subgroups $F<\Gamma$ with the property that $F$ is contained in a two-ended subgroup $H<\Gamma$ which is not conjugate into any $P_i$? Perhaps weaker: are there only finitely many isomorphism types of two-ended subgroups which are not conjugate into any parabolic? Weaker still: Is there an upper bound to the orders of elements in such subgroups $F$?
(Motivation: I am trying to find a law obeyed by non-parabolic two-ended subgroups of relatively hyperbolic groups, or at least a partition of them into finitely many families, each of which obeys a law.)


Jurisdiction and NCC agreement
Skip Navigation LinksEnglish > NCC > Jurisdiction and NCC agreement
What kinds of cases can be brought before the NCC?
A matter may be submitted to NCC where the following requirements are met:
 1. the Amsterdam District Court or Amsterdam Court of Appeal has jurisdiction
 2. the parties have expressly agreed in writing that proceedings will be in English before the NCC (the 'NCC agreement')
 3. the action is a civil or commercial matter within the parties' autonomy
 4. the matter concerns an international dispute.
Next, parties agree to take the case to the NCC (a chamber within the Amsterdam District Court or the Amsterdam Court of Appeal) and to make English the language of the proceedings. This is the "NCC agreement". The NCC agreement can be recorded in a clause, either before or after the dispute arises (see the Model clause).
The "civil or commercial matter" test is met where the dispute is related to civil law in a broad sense, as opposed to criminal charges or administrative proceedings. These matters may be contractual disputes, claims in tort, property disputes, or intellectual property, anti-trust/competition, technology, construction or corporate matters.
The following special types of cases may be appropriate for NCC proceedings:
 - A claim in a collective action, provided the Amsterdam District Court has jurisdiction based on criteria such as the domicile of one of the parties, or the place where the harmful event occurred.
 - An application seeking a declaration that a collective settlement is universally binding (including third parties), provided the agreement is connected to the Netherlands, so that the Amsterdam Court of Appeal has jurisdiction.
 - A claim to set aside an arbitral award that is filed in Amsterdam, provided that there is an agreement that the proceedings will be in English before the NCC Court of Appeal.
The "international dispute" test is broad in scope. It is met not only where one or more of the parties have their domicile in a foreign jurisdiction, but also where the dispute otherwise involves a relevant cross-border interest, such as shareholders, employees or revenue located in or linked to a foreign jurisdiction.
How can I confer jurisdiction and make an NCC agreement?
Parties may agree a clause that (a) confers jurisdiction and (b) records their agreement for proceedings to be in English before the NCC (the 'NCC agreement'). See the Model clause.


The raincoat is a type of waterproof jacket that protects us from rain. I guess most people wonder about what are raincoats made of. Raincoat jacket specially made of water-resistant fabric and other materials. But before discussing the materials of raincoats you must know when and who invented this? Charles Macintosh in 1836 invented this mixing rubber with fabric and it was the first modern raincoat. But now there are various types of raincoats with different colors available in the market. For kids multiple colors of raincoats also accessible in the market.
The answers to those questions how are raincoats made and what is a raincoat made out of provided with all details. So carefully read this article to know the real facts about making raincoats.
_TAG_ Out What Are Raincoats Made Of:
With the basic fabric materials, the raincoat made of but if those products do not contain water-resistant properties then the researchers add water-resistant products. Here are some materials that need to make raincoats:
1. Nylon:
Nylon is a type of synthetic polymer and looks like silky material. This material is not so much expensive and long-lasting material. Most of the companies in the market prefer nylon for its long-lasting and low cost. For its synthetic polymer, silkiness, and easy folding, many people choose this for the monsoon season and summer season. For its lightweight, you can easily convey when tripping.
2. Fabric Cotton:
The first raincoat was made with fabric cotton. But the raincoat of this material is so heavy to use and also not usable for the kids. Now fabric cotton made raincoat not so much available in the market. Oilcloths of this material are available in the market.
3. Gore-Tex:
Gore-Tex is a waterproof fabric and breathable material. It is usable for all-weather for its lightweight. Gore-Tex was first invented in 1969. It is extremely different from other products and people use this for its comfort. Many raincoat-making companies are using this fabric. It is perfect for an outdoor campaign and trekking.
4. Vinyl Fabric:
Vinyl fabric is made of chlorine and natural gas (ethylene). It is strong plastic materials and mainly used for a raincoat, outdoor tablecloths, and other products. Vinyl fabric is used to forming the raincoats of kids. This material is not too much costly. Various raincoat maker companies prefer this for multiple color options, water revolting, and easy to clean.
5. Wool:
Though wool does not provide waterproof quality in winter place it gives warmth. Making with water-resistant woolen coat provides extra durable and it is mainly used in the fashion garments and military men.
There are also other items that need in making raincoats like belts, buttons, lining, thread, trip, zippers, and seam tape. In the market various types of stylish fashionable raincoats like Waxed jackets, Sou'wester, Gannex, Anorak, Oilskin, Inverness cape, Mino, Driza-Bone, Poncho, etc available.
In the end, I want to say something very important talks, before buying raincoats check colors, durable system, stylish, water-resistance quality, etc those are suits for you. After reading this content the query about what are raincoats made of is now clear to the readers.

Rainbow in a Jar
In both cases, you need two things: a source of light, and a transparent substance like glass or water.
But wouldn't it be spectacular to hold a rainbow in a jar?
How can we use chemicals to make a rainbow in a jar?
 - 1 jar
 - 1/2 cup blue dishwashing liquid
 - 1/2 cup olive oil
 - 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol
 - 1/2 cup light corn syrup
 - Food coloring
 - 5 spoons
 - 5 bowls for mixing
 1. Make your purple layer by mixing 1/2 cup of the light corn syrup with 1 drop of blue and 1 drop of red food coloring.
 2. Carefully pour it into the bottom of your jar.
 3. Carefully pour the blue dish soap down the side of the jar.
 4. Mix 1/2 cup of water with 2 drops of green food coloring.
 5. Carefully pour in your green water down the side of the jar.
 6. Gently pour 1/2 cup olive oil down the side of your jar.
 7. Mix 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol with 2 drops of red food coloring.
 8. Carefully pour the red rubbing alcohol down the inside of your jar.
 9. Being careful not to disturb your liquids, set your jar down on the table and enjoy your rainbow!
You should have produced a beautifully layered rainbow in a jar with distinct lines that separate each layer of liquid without them mixing.
So what keeps all these layers all separated from each other? It's how dense, or heavy, each liquid is. The corn syrup is heaviest, and sits nicely on the bottom. The dishwashing soap is not quite as heavy as the corn syrup, but it's heavier than the olive oil, and so on.
Layering them from heaviest to lightest from the bottom up ensures that the rainbow maintains its distinct lines.
What if you had added the layers in the reverse order? Would you still see a rainbow? Try it. What if you changed the colors around but added each liquid in the original order? Go for it. What happens if you mix your rainbow with a spoon? No matter which new experiments you attempt, be sure to record your results to learn even more about density.

2 runners(Alice, Bob) are running on the oval track at a constant speed. The tracklength is 200 meters.
First Alice ran with such low speed that Bob passed him every 2 minutes. To run faster than Bob, Alice sped up 2 times and now she is passing him every 6 minutes. What speed did Bob ran at in km/h?
How much was Bob faster than Alice at first speed?
1/30h is 2 minutes x km/h * 1/30h = 0.2km x = 6km/h
How much was Alice faster than Bob at second speed?
1/10h is 6 minutes 2x km/h * 1/10h = 0.2km x = 1km/h
Don't know how to create equation out of this.

National Trust and Savings Association
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)|
National Trust and Savings Association, abbreviated NT&SA, is a designation used by national banks in the United States to denote their national charter. It is significantly less popular than the standard designation National Association (N.A.). Notably, it was used until 1998 by Bank of America NT&SA, the only major bank to utilize the designation. It was also construed to denote the character of a savings and loan association, with a focus on home mortgages and savings accounts.

Discord is the most popular forum for communicating with friends. You can communicate via text, live stream, or voice chat. You can create a server on Discord and invite friends or family to join. Servers have a given agenda, such as a server for a given game or a server to join your family in a voice channel.
When you create a server, you become the owner, giving you more privileges than other members. So, what can a Discord server owner see?
The Discord owner hosts a given server and acts as the primary administrator. The owner can see all the member and their roles. They can see public messages and logs for activities, such as deleted messages and members kicked out. Moreover, they can see the public profile details of members, such as their profile pictures. However, all your details, such as IP, private messages, server activities, profile settings, email, etc., are hidden.
This guide discusses what things a server owner can see. Moreover, we will see what the server owner can do on a given server and cover what they can't see. That way, you will understand the limited information a server owner can access and the information hidden from them.
Who Is a Server Owner, and What Can They See and Do?
Discord is open to everyone. You can access Discord and create an account using the mobile app, browser, or desktop app. Once you have your account, you can create a Discord server using the below steps.
- On your Discord, click the plus icon at the bottom left sidebar.
- Click the "Create My Own" button.
- Add the server details, such as the name.
- Add members to your server.
- Click the "Create" button to complete the process.
You are now a Discord server owner, which comes with different privileges. First, you can create a channel to connect with your friends. Still, you can add members to your server or send them an invite link to join.
Moreover, you can define the roles of a given member, including the server admin, to help you manage the server. As a server owner, you are the overall admin and can change the roles and permissions of members on the server. Still, you can kick out or ban members from the server.
The server owner can also attach links or files in the server description, delete messages, mute members, and perform other administrative tasks. Generally, the server owner controls how the server runs and can limit the members.
So, what can a Discord server owner see? Many server members are concerned about what the server owners can see as part of the privacy concerns. Here's the thing, most of the private activities of members are kept private from the server owner.
The server owner can only see the list of members and their profile details, such as profile images and server chats. Also, the server owner can see the logs for the server activities, such as banned members, deleted messages, created channels, and the roles of each member.
What Can't a Server Owner See?
Discord upholds the privacy of its users even when they join a Discord server. As such, the server owner is limited in the things they can see. Below are the crucial things hidden from a server owner.
The server admin can't see your IP address. Discord doesn't disclose your IP address to anyone, and only the Discord staff can access your Discord IP. Even when kicked out of a server, your IP address remains hidden unless someone tricks you into using IP address loggers, which unknowingly track your IP.
Your email address is confidential and remains hidden even from the server owner. However, sharing your email address with the server owner is the only way they can access it.
Your messages are private DMs that are inaccessible to the server owner. However, messages shared in the group can be seen by everyone. If you delete a message, the server owner can only see the log for the deleted message but won't see the actual deleted message.
A Member's Activities
Things a member does on the server are private. For instance, if you check the list of members or keep scrolling to see messages sent by different people, the server owner will have no idea of such activities. Also, your search activities are personal and won't be disclosed. Furthermore, even the server owner won't see your activities if you set your visibility to invisible.
The only activities a server owner can access are those in the audit logs, such as members who were kicked out or new channels that were created.
A server owner has privileges on what they can do, but what they can see is limited. They can only see public information such as the list of members, messages shared on the channel, and server logs of different activities. This guide details what the server owner can and cannot see.
