Will Chickens Die Without a Heat Lamp
Will Chickens Die Without a Heat Lamp? (Ideal Temperatures Explained)
Generally speaking, adult chickens are incredibly hardy and well-prepared to survive in sub-zero temperatures without the need for heat. Baby chicks, on the other hand, are fragile when born and usually require a heat lamp for the first few weeks.
Whether or not you'll need a heat lamp for your chicks depends on how consistently you can keep the temperature within the ideal range for them. It typically makes raising chicks a lot easier for those first few weeks in most cases.
Should You Use a Heat Lamp in a Chicken Coop?
If you browse Amazon you'll see all kinds of heat lamps and heaters designed for chicken coops to help keep your chooks nice and warm.
Personally, I've never known someone to use a heater in their coop. I've known people that have raised chickens in some pretty cold places, too, like Alaska and northern Canada.
Whenever the topic of heating a coop comes up within the backyard chicken community, there are always raised eyebrows due to the potential risks.
Assuming you're going to have the heater on overnight, there is always the risk of an electrical fault or something else causing a fire while you're sleeping.
I'm not suggesting any of these products are anything less than safe! I'm just repeating what I hear when I speak with other chicken owners.
Chickens (most breeds) are well equipped to deal with sub-zero temperatures. Their plumage traps air in between their feathers, and they will cozy up together when roosting to stay warm.
There is rarely the need to insulate a coop at all, let alone heat it.
The key things that you should always keep in mind in regards to keeping your chickens warm enough are moisture and wind chill. Those are the two things that will lower that core temperature to dangerous levels.
Coops need good ventilation to remove the ammonia and keep fresh air flowing through. But your chicken's roosting bar, nesting boxes, and some other areas should be free from wind blowing through.
If your chickens get wet during the day, you shouldn't leave them all soggy in a cold coop. Just think how you'd feel!

Do Chicks Need a Heat Lamp?
Chicks need to be kept warm when they first hatch. They don't have any feathers yet and aren't able to regulate their own temperature at a safe level.
In the wild, this would be mother hen's job. She will have sat on those eggs for around 21 days to hatch them and will continue to allow her baby chicks to bury themselves in her plumage to keep warm.
When hatching chicks at home, however, you'll use an incubator to mimic those 21 days. Incubators keep eggs within the optimal temperature range of 35 to 40.5°C (84.5 – 104.9°F).
When chicks hatch, they can be moved into a brooder. A brooder is essentially a safe place where baby chicks can be kept warm, fed, and looked after.
Most brooders either come with a lamp, or it's recommended you use one. This is because you need to keep the temperature between 35 to 37.8°C (95 – 100°F) for the first couple of weeks of baby chicks' lives.
You can then start to lower the temperature by 5 degrees a week for around 6 weeks until you've lowered the temperature to around 80-75 degrees.
By then, chicks are usually ready to survive the outdoors. It depends on how developed their feathers are and what the weather is like. Different breeds will be fully feathered at different ages, always act on the side of caution.
Here's an overview of the recommended temperature ranges to keep baby chicks at:
Age of Chick (weeks)Temperature (F)
So, the answer as to whether or not you need a heat lamp for chicks is whether or not you can keep them at or around those temperatures.
There are other ways you can provide warmth. I've heard of people using hot water bottles and keeping a brooder in a warm place and their chicks grew up just fine.
However, if you're new to raising chicks, using a heat lamp is by far the easiest way to ensure they're going to be kept nice and warm around the clock.

What Temperature Is Too Cold for Chickens?
This is also a tough question to answer with a one-size-fits-all answer, because, again it depends on what breed of chicken we're talking about.
Some chickens are much more equipped to deal with cold temperatures than others. As you can probably guess, generally speaking, bigger hens with a thicker plumage are considered more cold-weather hardy.
This would include breeds like the Brahma, Wyandotte, Sussex, and Cochin. All large, well-feathered birds with plenty of insulation.
You do have to be mindful of frostbite though. Chicken's combs, in particular, are prone to frostbite in extreme conditions. The first sign of frostbite is usually blackening at the tips of the comb.
On the other hand, small chickens like bantams, and some breeds like the Polish, Old Game Fowl, and Fayoumi are not cold weather chickens.
They are lacking the body mass and thick coats to deal with sub-zero temperatures!

In Summary
If you've been worried about your chickens freezing out there in the cold while you're tucked up all nice and warm in your bed, hopefully, I've reassured you that they'll be just fine.
Using heat lamps for baby chicks to ensure they're warm during their first few weeks it's important. After that, most chickens are fine to be outside in all temperatures and weather conditions and will do just fine.
As long as you're keeping all their basic needs met; adequate housing, plenty of food, and fresh drinking water, you'll be pleasantly surprised how hardy chickens are.

The name Ben-hur in the Bible
Whether Ben-hur is a Biblical name has been disputed (because the man named Ben-hur might simply have been a "son of Hur", which is what Ben-hur means). But the Hebrew construct ben hur occurs in 1 Kings 4:8, where Ben-hur is mentioned among the twelve deputies of king Solomon of Israel. The only detail we know of this Ben-hur is that he was stationed in the region of Ephraim.
Etymology of the name Ben-hur
The name Ben-hur consists of two elements. The first part is the word בן (ben), generally meaning son:
The second part of the name Ben-hur is the same as the name Hur. The origin and meaning of the name Hur is not known for sure but that's not because there are no candidates: In fact, there are so many possibilities that we don't know which one is the right one:
The name Ben-hur may mea Son Of Hur, or it may mean One Of The Burnings/Nobles/Holes/Whites.
For a meaning of the name Hur, Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names proposes Cavern. BDB Theological Dictionary says to have no clue, and NOBSE Study Bible Name List either takes the name Hur from another language, or bends the meaning of Noble or Freeman into Splendor.

Converting a afghan pattern
Tallguy's picture
Sometimes you can't simply
Sometimes you can't simply double all the numbers in a pattern for it doesn't work that way. The border stitches are separate, and you can do any border you like. That is up to you, but choose a "balanced" pattern -- that is, with an equal number of knits and purls so that your edges don't curl.
Your pattern repeat is 16. You can make anything with just the one repeat, but it looks nicer when you have several repeats of a design. You can make 10 repeats, 20, and upwards, or any number you like. It usually looks best to have an odd number (for balancing the design, but not always). Once you have determined your gauge, you will be able to calculate the size of your project.
After you have the repeats, you need to add that one stitch. That one is used to finish off the repeat at the very end. I can tell that with the addition of that one stitch, your total will always be an odd number. 274 won't work out evenly.
So add up the body number of stitches, plus the border stitches (two sides) and you have your total to cast on. It's just that easy! :-)
ronhuber's picture
16 x 16 = 256 + 1 = 257 + 16
16 x 16 = 256 + 1 = 257 + 16 (border stitches) = 273
Joe-in Wyoming's picture
Okay...math isn't my strong
Okay...math isn't my strong point but here goes:
Take the 274 and subtract the seed stitch border of 8 stitches. Then check to see if the 266 sts is divisible by 16 with 1 left over. If so, then you should be okay. If not, you may have to adjust your cast on numbers to have everything balance out. Lots of luck and I hope I steered you in the right direction.
Thanks, guys.

Has the U.S. Been Too Strict With Kidney Donations?
— Organ discards twice as common than in France; did this cost American patients' lives?
From 2004 to 2014, the U.S. was twice as likely to discard potential donor kidneys than was France, with researchers suggesting the latter country had the better approach.
In a head-to-head comparison, the U.S. discard rate for deceased-donor kidneys during this period was 17.9% versus 9.1% in France, reported Alexandre Loupy, MD, PhD, of the Paris Translational Research Center for Organ Transplantation, and colleagues.
Utilizing a French-based allocation prediction model, the researchers determined that 62% of the discarded kidneys in the U.S. would have been transplanted in France. This translated to nearly 17,500 missed opportunities for kidney transplantation, they wrote in JAMA Internal Medicine.
"This finding indicates that the U.S. kidney transplantation system, which has driven innovations in donor utilization in the domains of kidneys obtained after cardiac death and from hepatitis C virus-infected donors, still has substantial potential for growth by accepting more organs from donors who are older and have comorbidities including diabetes and hypertension," the researchers stated.
This more liberal approach "could provide major survival benefits to the population of U.S. wait-listed patients," they added.
"In the U.S. alone, approximately 95,000 individuals are waiting for a kidney transplant. New, creative solutions to address this concern are needed," co-author Olivier Aubert, MD, PhD, told MedPage Today in 2018 when preliminary findings were presented at Kidney Week. "The French transplant system offers a useful contrast, because French transplant programs face less regulatory scrutiny than U.S. programs and do not use donor kidney biopsies in organ acceptance decisions."
Notably, however, U.S. procedures governing kidney donations were changed in 2012 and again in 2014, introducing use of the Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI) and making lower-quality kidneys available to more areas of the country. But the French researchers cited data that suggest no subsequent reduction in the discard rate had occurred by 2016.
The study looked at validated registries of kidneys recovered from donors dying from either circulatory or brain death for the intention of transplantation. Living donor transplants, kidneys offered to transplants centers that were not harvested, and recipients of multi-organ transplants were excluded from the analysis.
During 2004-2014, there were 78,517 deceased U.S. donors, resulting in 156,089 kidneys harvested for potential transplant. Only 128,102 kidneys were actually transplanted, whereas nearly 28,000 kidneys were discarded. During the same period in France, there were 15,500 deceased donors, resulting in nearly 30,000 kidneys recovered, of which 27,252 were eventually transplanted and 2,732 discarded.
Comparing donor kidneys transplanted in the two countries, U.S. donors were significantly younger (mean 37 vs 51 in France over the full study period; 39 vs 56 in 2014) and they were significantly less likely to have hypertension or die from cerebrovascular causes.
Trends in the KDRI -- in which lower numbers reflect higher organ quality -- indicated a steady increase over the 10-year period in France, suggesting a move towards more aggressive donor kidney use (1.37 in 2004 vs 1.74 in 2014). On the other hand, the U.S. didn't show significant change in the KDRI during this time, with values suggesting stricter standards for quality (1.30 in 2004 vs 1.32 in 2014).
In an accompanying commentary, Ryoichi Maenosono, MD, and Stefan Tullius, MD, PhD, both of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, pointed out that population differences could account for the disparity in discard rates.
"The U.S. donor population has a different racial mix, with more African Americans, more donors after circulatory death, and more hepatitis C-positive donors," the commentators noted.
Notably, they pointed out that, due to the 2014 change in U.S. organ allocations, "younger recipients with a longer estimated post-transplant survival have a higher probability of receiving a younger organ, increasing the likelihood that older recipients would receive an older organ."
Maenosono and Tullius also suggested that "regulatory, financial, or medical assessments appear to be the driving force" of this high discard rate in the U.S., as some hospitals may be averse to more aggressive organ use, for fear it could hurt their publicized rankings.
"[W]e should focus more on the needs of the potential recipients and less on the donor kidneys," the pair concluded.
The study was supported in part by French national research agency ATIP Avenir, Fondation Bettencourt Schueller and the French organ allocation authority, the Agence de la Biomédecine, and in part by the Health Resources and Services Administration.
Aubert reported no disclosures. Other study authors did report disclosures.

The drilling operation was successful, and the initial large diameter (>35 cm) allowed easy access to the ocean. One hole was used to install an ultrasonic echo-sounder which recorded the ablation at the ice-shelf bottom continuously. Another hole was used for emplacement of a thermistor string throughout the 237 m thick ice shelf for ice-temperature measurements. Several CTD profiles in the 175 m deepwater column, and the analysis of water samples, provided valuable data for the understanding of ice-shelf-ocean interactions.

MCLP Class discusses leading with values
Imagine having to whittle a list of 60 values down to 10, 5, 2, and ultimately 1. Over the past few weeks the Multicultural Leadership Program (MCLP) Class of 2012 has been doing exactly that.
Discussion leader Diana Hauman, President of Ddh Enterprises, Inc., stressed at the MCLP session Feb. 4 that the values each of us hold drive our relationships, actions, wellbeing, and the way we lead. They also affect how others view us. "My perception is my truth," she said.
Different people view situations differently because of their personal values, Hauman said before posing the following real-life situation to the class.
You are at a dinner where four couples and good friends are present. The check was brought at the end of the meal which you caught a glance at first – it equaled $300. One person at the table took it upon himself to split the check and asked each couple for $120. Knowing that each couple should have owed $75, how would you deal with this situation?
The MCLP participants conducted a detailed discussion from each person's perspective based on their primary value. As they verbalized their own opinions and what their reactions would be, they worked together in understanding why what one person says could be perceived differently by another. Two other situations were presented by Hauman, then discussed by the class.
More about the Feb. 4 MCLP session can be found here.

A reAqua grey water recovery system collects waste water from the first floor bathroom's shower, bath and basin and treats the water so it can be used for toilet flushing. Heat is recovered from the waste water and used to pre-heat the water in the hot water cylinder.
How does it work?
A revised plumbing setup takes all the waste water from baths and showers in a property and redirects it through a reAqua filtration unit to treat it with a disinfectant. The treated water is then piped on to supply all flushing water needs for multiple toilets. If one toilet is specified, gravity feed is sufficient. If two or more are connected, an electrically pumped feed is provided within the unit.
The unit also recovers the heat from the bath and shower water used, transferring it to the building's central heating system through use of a heat-exchanger. The recovered heat is transferred to the cold feed of a combi-boiler or hot water cylinder, reducing demand on the existing central-heating system.
- Reduces water consumption
- Reduces energy consumption by pre-heating water in the heating or DHW system
- Unit is compact, fitting into a cupboard.

You can achieve the requirement of using max() function in the data mapping having XSL transformer: "XALAN".
Following are the high-level steps that need to follow to use max() function in Data mapping:
1. Go to the Add Namespace option, under Namespace in Actions Menu in Data Mapper applet.
2. Now, simply copy the below-mentioned namespace in the text input area and click Ok button to add the namespace to XSL permanently.
' xmlns:math="_URL_ '
3. After adding the namespace, you can use the Max function by writing the below statement in the textual rule ( or wherever you want to use ).
' math:max(XPath of element) '
For example: If you want to find out the maximum age from records then simply write it as, math:max(/Root/Record/Age).
Note: The Max function is used for a node having the data type of number or string. The maximum is the result of converting the string value of the first node in this sorted list to a number using the number function
If the node-set is empty, or if the result of converting the string values of any of the nodes to a number is NaN, then NaN is returned.

An Inverse Problem for a Single Orbit
Bozis G, Department of Physics, University of Thessaloniki, Greece, Tel: +30 2 310 998 111; EMail: [email protected]
Received: May 30, 2018; Accepted: June 8, 2018; Published: June 15, 2018
Citation: Bozis G. An Inverse Problem for a Single Orbit. J Phys Astron. 2018; 6(2):153
The inverse problem of Dynamics for monoparametric families of orbits F(x,y)= c, produced in a potential field, has been studied in the past for various versions (e.g. for one or two or three parametric families, for two or three dimensional potentials in Cartesian or curvilinear coordinates, in inertial or rotating frames etc) [1].
In this report we refer to the planar motion of a unit mass material point P in an inertial frame Oxy, in a two-dimensional potential V= V(x,y), tracing one orbit (or a branch of the whole orbit) given by the equation y= f(x). We answer two questions: (a): The two functions V=V(x,y) and y=f(x) are given arbitrarily. Are they consistent? (b): An equation y= f(x) is given arbitrarily. For which potentials this equation can stand for an orbit?
We denote by Vf = Vf (x )= V(x,y=f(x)). (It stands to reason to call it orbital potential). Similarly e.g. equation and equation. For an arbitrary function A(x,y) we have: Af = A(x,y=f(x)). We consider A(x,y) as adequate if its orbital value is not infinity, i.e. if equation. The total energy of the point P is Ef.
Two Theorems-Examples
Theorem A
An observed branch of an orbit y= f(x) (with f"(x) ≠ 0) can be produced by a given potential V= V(x,y) if and only if
equation (1)
As a hint for the proof, we refer to Szebehely's formula for monoparametric families (as modified by Bozis (1995)) with an appropriate interpretation of the slope function γ (x, y) of the family and the help of both the orbital functions Vf(x) and the orbital function equation, introduced here.
Example: Let us verify that the upper branch of the Newtonian ellipse equation i.e.,equation withequation and Newton's potential equation are compatible. Indeed, with e.g. equation etc., the left hand side of equation (1) gives equation, as expected.
Theorem B
All potentials V(x,y) which (for adequate initial conditions, consistent with Ef ) can produce an observed branch of orbit y= f(x) are given by the formula:
where equation. The function A(x,y) is an adequate arbitrary function and (with the constant of the indefinite integral L(x) taken equal to zero) Ef is the energy of P.
To prove the theorem B, we only need verify that, indeed, the orbit y= f(x) and the potential (2) are consistent, i.e. that they satisfy the equation (1).
Example: For equation we haveequation. So, formula (2) gives one out of the infinitely many potentials which can produce the orbit y = x3 with Ef=1. For equation (so that) this potential is
i. The function y=f(x) is real if EfVf and is defined in an interval of the x-axis which can be found from the inequality L(x) ≤ 0.
ii. If the observed (given) orbit is a straight line f (x) = λx +μ (in which case f"(x)=0), the above formulae (1) and (2) are not applicable. Then, an affirmative answer to the question 1(a) is given if Vyf = λVxf. As to the formula for the question (1b) (giving the totality of potentials producing the straight line f (x) = λx +μ ) now it reads:
equation (3)
where a(x +λy),b(x, y) are arbitrary functions of their respective arguments.
It is directly shown that all the potentials (3) satisfy the relation Vyf = λVxf.

We have twice seen Mr.3 open seastone cage/cuffs with his wax powers, once in Alabasta and once in the war of the summit. How can his wax key not melt once inside the keyhole?
As stated in seastome wikia
Seastone only works upon direct and constant contact.
Which means it works only on devil fruit user not on the power or material they produce using power.
It has been shown that although a Devil Fruit user loses his/her powers when in contact with the Seastone, said powers can still be used on and affect the Seastone. Example is when Mr. 3's candle wax key could open Seastone cuffs and cell doors, though this may be because the locks themselves are not made of Seastone or because the wax has no Devil Fruit powers inside it, as shown when he unlocked Ace's Seastone handcuffs. Another example is when Shiki levitated battleships in Marineford, despite the hulls being lined with Seastone. Trafalgar Law was also able to switch Seastone chains with regular ones, using his abilities.
Another example is Aokiji Kuzan's ice formation power, which he uses it to make ice road on the sea to travel in his bicycle. Here the ice doesn't melt just because it came in contact with the sea.
And this is just the guess but seastone might melt if comes in contact with Akainu's lava where the temperature of lava is greater than melting point of seastone.
oda stated that devil fruit can't be affected after activating it, we can see it clearly when MR3 in marineford made a key to rescue ace, after the key was formed they could open, and also happened with aokiji when he did the ace age, so that means the seastones won't affecte on the devil fruit abbility after it activated

Strategies to improve the efficiency and utility of multidisciplinary team meetings in urology cancer care: a survey study.
Lamb BW., Jalil RT., Sevdalis N., Vincent C., Green JS.
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of multidisciplinary teams (MDT) for the delivery of cancer care is increasing globally. Evidence exists of benefits to patients and healthcare professionals. However, MDT working is time and resource intensive. This study aims to explore members' views on existing practices of urology MDT working, and to identify potential interventions for improving the efficiency and productivity of the MDT meeting. METHODS: Members of urology MDTs across the UK were purposively recruited to participate in an online survey. Survey items included questions about the utility and efficiency of MDT meetings, and strategies for improving the efficiency of MDT meetings: treating cases by protocol, prioritising cases, and splitting the MDT into subspeciality meetings. RESULTS: 173 MDT members participated (Oncologists n = 77, Cancer Nurses n = 54, Urologists n = 30, other specialities n = 12). 68% of respondents reported that attending the MDT meeting improves efficiency in care through improved clinical decisions, planning investigations, helping when discussing plans with patients, speciality referrals, documentation/patient records. Participants agreed that some cases including low risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and localised, low-grade prostate cancer could be managed by pre-agreed pathways, without full MDT review. There was a consensus that cases at the MDT meeting could be prioritised by complexity, tumour type, or the availability of MDT members. Splitting the MDT meeting was unpopular: potential disadvantages included loss of efficiency, loss of team approach, unavailability of members and increased administrative work. CONCLUSION: Key urology MDT members find the MDT meeting useful. Improvements in efficiency and effectiveness may be possible by prioritising cases or managing some low-risk cases according to previously agreed protocols. Further research is needed to test the effectiveness of such strategies on MDT meetings, cancer care pathways and patient outcomes in clinical practice.

Object Detection Based on Region Decomposition and Assembly
Region-based object detection infers object regions for one or more categories in an image. Due to the recent advances in deep learning and region proposal methods, object detectors based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been flourishing and provided the promising detection results. However, the detection accuracy is degraded often because of the low discriminability of object CNN features caused by occlusions and inaccurate region proposals. In this paper, we therefore propose a region decomposition and assembly detector (R-DAD) for more accurate object detection.
In the proposed R-DAD, we first decompose an object region into multiple small regions. To capture an entire appearance and part details of the object jointly, we extract CNN features within the whole object region and decomposed regions. We then learn the semantic relations between the object and its parts by combining the multi-region features stage by stage with region assembly blocks, and use the combined and high-level semantic features for the object classification and localization. In addition, for more accurate region proposals, we propose a multi-scale proposal layer that can generate object proposals of various scales. We integrate the R-DAD into several feature extractors, and prove the distinct performance improvement on PASCAL07/12 and MSCOCO18 compared to the recent convolutional detectors.


How to Check the Status of Your Money Order
 How to Check the Status of Your Money Order – When you use a money order, you'll want to know if your payment was approved and paid by the person to whom it was intended. The possibility to track money orders is high, but it will take some time and money.
 How Money Order Tracking Works
 Money orders, unlike personal checks, are not directly linked to your personal bank account; you must purchase them with cash as well (though some places will accept a debit card). If you pay in cash, your bank transaction history will show no evidence of a money order clearing. You can, however, monitor money order payments by sending a request to the money order issuer.

 Typically, the issuer sends a copy of the approved money order (showing who cashed or deposited it and when) or a note that the money order has not yet been cashed after about 30 days. If the money order is still outstanding, you will cancel it and receive a refund. The exact method varies depending on the issuer.
 Making Your Request
 Gather Needed Information
 Anytime you buy a money order, you should get a receipt with the order information. To track the transaction, you will need the money order number and the order amount. Make sure to take a picture of the money order or make a copy of it, so you have the specifics if you need to keep track of it.
 Pay Service Fees
 Tracking a money order takes time and can be expensive. At $6.15, USPS is the most affordable, but other issuers charge $15 or more for potentially lost or stolen testing payments. 1–3 You may also be required to complete paperwork, often in person, and you will not receive a response (let alone a refund) for 30 days or more.
 Contact the Recipient
 Contact the person to whom you sent your payment if appropriate. Individuals and businesses are often unable to process orders efficiently, and they take longer to deposit payments received. Obtaining information directly from your payee could be preferable to complete a questionnaire.
 Consider Waiting
 It could be worthwhile to wait at least two weeks after submitting payment before giving up and canceling a money order. Most letters arrive within a few days of being sent, but payments seem to be taking longer. During holidays and weekends, it can take much longer. Furthermore, the customer may have been busy or out of town at the time the payment arrived. That being said, if anything seems suspicious, it's best to get answers as soon as possible.
 Tracking Money Orders From the USPS
 If you used a USPS money order, you must visit a post office to complete PS Form 6401, Money Orders. 5 To complete this form, you must have a receipt from your original transaction that shows the money order number, amount, and information about the post office from which you ordered.
 The USPS actually charges $6.15 for money order research. The process will take at least 30 days, and you will obtain a copy of the front and back of the money order, whether it has been cashed or deposited. With that information, you can figure out where the money went. 1
 If you can't wait that long, there might be some informal "workarounds" that will allow you to determine if the money order has been cashed or deposited. You may, for example, call the post office or use the Money Order query system to see if the item "does not suit."
 However, the information you obtain could not be correct because the device was not configured to do what you were attempting. The only way to be certain is to fill out Form 6401 and wait.
 MoneyGram Tracking
 It's a bit easier to keep track of a MoneyGram money order. Contact the MoneyGram automated answering service at _PHONE_ or use the MoneyGram online tracking system. You must include your money order number as well as the exact dollar amount; the system will then notify you whether or not the item has been cashed. 6. If you do not have a transaction number, you must fill out a form.
 If it has been cashed and you need a copy of the approved money order, or if you need to file a claim, fill out the Claim Card, pay $18, and wait at least 30 days for a mailed response.
 If you don't have your money order number, you'll have to pay an additional fee and fill out another form to get the information you need. You will be able to request these services in person as well, ensuring that the process runs smoothly.
 Please visit the MoneyGram Money Order Service page for more detail and links to forms in Spanish and English.
 Western Union Process
 Western Union's approach is similar to MoneyGram's. Check that the money order has been charged by calling _PHONE_ before filling out the forms and paying the fees. 8
 If you need a copy of the money order paid and have obtained it, please use the Money Order Tracing/Refund Request form contained on the back of your money order receipt. You can also go to the website of Western Union Track Transfer.
 Read also:Facebook Marketplace, 6 Ways to Make the Most of for your company
 If you want to cancel the money order, don't email a copy of your request until the receiver has approved it. The treatment costs $18 and can take up to 30 days.
 Again, keeping your receipt when purchasing a money order is better. If you do not do so, Western Union will charge you $30 for your money order. 9 Refund requests may be sent by Western Union in person, by mail, by fax, or by email.
 Other Issuers
 Many of the money orders sold in grocery shops, convenience stores, and check cashing establishments are Western Union or MoneyGram money orders. If your money order was issued by a non-covered institution (such as your bank or credit union), there's a decent chance you'll be able to find it. It could be even simpler, particularly if you work for a small bank. Rather than filling out paperwork, a simple phone call can be all that is needed.
 Tracking and Cashing Money Orders You've Received.
 If you accept payment by money order, your bank will handle the payment processing logistics. You will deposit the transfer into your bank account in the same manner as you would have deposited a check or money order.
 If you suspect that the money order you received was fraudulent, please contact the money order issuer and express your concerns. It could be possible to audit the payment funds or, at the very least, determine if they are deemed fraudulent.
 Do not invest the funds until you have received confirmation that they have been cleared.
 The clearing process will take several weeks, even though your bank's funds policy allows you to use the money right away. If you use the funds and the money order turns out to be fraudulent, the bank will demand that you return the funds.
 When accepting money orders, you should ideally know who you're dealing with. Money orders, on the other hand, allow for anonymous transactions, for better or worse. If you need help investigating criminal activity, you may need to contact law enforcement (and they might not be able to help).

Event Listeners
AnyChart charting library supports the possibility to handle Gantt Chart events. In this tutorial we will list all available events, explain when they are dispatched and what data is available in them. There is also some useful information about how to create an event handler and how to use the data coming from AnyGantt.
First, you need to create a listener to handle the specific event. In general Event Listeners Article you can find more information about creating these JavaScript functions.
Event Types
It is important to keep in mind that JavaScript Resource Gantt Chart and JavaScript Project Gantt Chart are almost identical in terms of data hierarchy.
So the information presented below applies to both chart types, except some details. These are events available for Gantt Chart:
Event Description
rowClick Dispatched when mouse click event happened.
rowDblClick Dispatched when mouse double click event happened.
rowMouseMove Dispatched when mouse move event happened.
rowMouseOver Dispatched when mouse over event happened.
rowMouseOut Dispatched when mouse out event happened.
rowMouseDown Dispatched when mouse down event happened.
rowMouseUp Dispatched when mouse up event happened.
rowSelect Dispatched when some row is selected.
rowCollapseExpand Dispatched when an item that contains other items expands or collapses.
All events return all available data about an active row.
To listen an event use the code below:
//choose an event type from table above:
chart.listen(anychart.enums.EventType.ROW_CLICK, function(event) {
var msg = event['item'].get('name');
if (event['period']) msg += '\nPeriod:'+ event['period']['id'];
return msg;
As you can see from the code above, it is possible to get any information about the item from the event - it contains some useful fields. Here is a list of supported types of information:
Event Field Description
.item It is a Data Item that displays the active row.
.hoveredIndex Contains an index of active row.
.period Contains an active period.
.periodIndex Contains an index of active period.
This sample with Project Gantt Chart demonstrates the usage of this feature. Click on a row to change the Chart title:
JsFiddle Playground
Default Events
When you click on a row or move the mouse over the row, there are some default actions take place.
Events are dispatched in the following order on every click:
 1. rowMouseDown
 2. rowMouseUp
 3. rowClick (which is the same as rowMouseDown + rowMouseUp)
 4. rowSelect
Event Type Default Behaviour
rowMouseUp Makes the row selected.
rowClick Makes the row selected (contains rowMouseUp).
rowDBlclick Collapse/expand items.
rowMouseMove Reports the hovered point state.
rowMouseOver Makes the row hovered.
rowMouseOut Unhovers the row.
Prevent Defaults
To prevent these events dispatching you can use the special method.preventDefault().
In this case these events won't be reported by the chart. Let's disable the default behaviour for the clicks. The sample below illustrates this idea.
chart.listen(anychart.enums.EventType.ROW_CLICK, function(e) {

This article is about the municipality in Norway. For the community in Minnesota, see Rollag, Minnesota
Rollag is a municipality in Buskerud county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Numedal. The municipality of Rollag was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Nore og Uvdal was separated from Rollag in 1858.
The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Rollag, although the most populated area in the municipality is Veggli. Rollag is bordered in the north by Nore og Uvdal, in the east by Sigdal, in the south by Flesberg, and in the west by Tinn (Telemark county).
General information
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Rollag farm (Old Norse: Roll(u)lag), since the first church was built here. The first element is probably (the genitive case of) a river name Rolla (now called the Troelva river) and the last element is lag which means "fishing place". The meaning of the river name is unknown (maybe "the shivering").
The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted in 1993. The arms show two gold-colored lines on a red background. The lines represent an old warning cairn made of timber.
The municipality lies in the heart of the Numedal traditional region and valley, the westernmost valley in southeastern Norway. The river Numedalslågen flows through Rollag and into the Ytre Oslofjord at Larvik.
In the northwest of the Rollag lie the Vegglifjell mountains, which are an entryway into the Hardangervidda. The municipality's highest point is Storegrønut at 1,289 metres (4,229 ft) located in the Vegglifjell mountains.
Rollag stave church
- The Rollag stave church (built around _PHONE_) is located a few kilometres north of the centre of Rollag. It was extended and windows were added in 1652. A new Apse was added in 1666. The transept was constructed in _PHONE_. A gallery was added in 1702. The sacristy was built in 1739. A Baroque pulpit was added in 1763.
Sister cities
The following cities are twinned with Rollag:

I have read that holes in semiconductor are nothing but vacancies created by electrons. But how can this vacancy i.e. hole has a mass?
share|improve this question
See physics.stackexchange.com/a/10858/3811 for more details about "what is a hole" than you usually find :-) – Steve B Jul 10 '12 at 22:57

A quick answer:
Imagine an array of billiard balls with one missing in the middle of the array; there is a "hole" where the billiard ball is missing. For this hole to "move", a billiard ball must move into that position, leaving a hole at the ball's previous position. Since, in fact, the hole movement is entirely equivalent to the billiard ball movement, we can speak of the mass of the hole even though it is the billiard ball's mass that is physical.
Now, in the case of electrons moving through the unfilled valence band, the effective mass is greater than the mass of a mobile electron so hole mass is typically greater than mobile electron mass.
share|improve this answer
While the answers above are correct in essence, the inertia of the hole is due to the electrons that must flow to fill up the hole, there is a simple way to understand what the mass of a hole is in a tight-binding model.
If you have an electron in a lattice, and it can hop from one site to another with amplitude a, then the time evolution of the wavefunction is by
$$ {\partial_t \psi(x)} = a\sum_{\langle y,x\rangle} \psi(y) $$
where the sum is over nearest neighbors of x (not including x). If you redefine the phase of the wavefunction in a time-dependent way $\psi(x)\rightarrow e^{iNat}\psi(x)$$ where N is the number of nearest neighbors, you subtract a term from the right hand side which leads to a standard form of the lattice Laplacian, so you have a discretized Schrodinger equation. The continuum limit of this is the normal Schrodinger equation:
$$ {\partial_t \psi} = a\epsilon^2 \nabla^2 \psi $$
Where $\epsilon$ is the lattice spacing. From this, you can read off the effective mass $m={1\over 2a}$.
The point is that mass of a quantum excitation is just the inverse of the hopping amplitude, so it is universal to describe any localized excitation that moves coherently with an effective mass. The harder it is to hop, the more massive the object is. The result is in principle independent of the actual mass of the fundamental particles--- if you make an optical lattice and place a metal BEC in each optical trap, the electrons have to tunnel from one trap location to the next in order to flow, and the effective mass can be as large as you like. In real materials, the effective mass is usually close to the electron mass, but sometimes can be hundreds of times bigger.
If you fill up all the electron states, and consider one hole, there is an amplitude for the hole to hop to a neighboring location. This gives an effective mass as above, proportional to the inverse hopping amplitude. Unlike in classical systems, you don't have to consider dissipation--- the effective mass description is exact. Further, if the hopping amplitude for a hole is fundamentally the same as the hopping amplitude for an electron to fill the hole from the neighbors.

I think that the answer should be searched in surface metal (dielectric)free electrons. When an electron start to move it became heavier or easyer throgh absorbtion or radiation of some Planck energy.The change in speed is : speed is increasing if electron go through band gap by absorbtion.(Fourier Generalised Tf. and antenna radiation) In orbital valent position the electrons and the holes in which it is formed a filler.When the electron leave the filler, the filler hole mass is the mass of electrons plus the mass of received energy and other posible interaction with other orbital or nucleous.

Could you please improve the grammar and/or sentence structure of your answer? It is very hard to understand what you're saying as of right now. – Danu Oct 19 at 8:54
For a very common practically important classical mechanical equivalent, consider a bubble of air in the water. The apparent inertia of the bubble is on order of the mass of water displaced by the bubble, as the water around the bubble has to move for the bubble to move. This is an important consideration for ships, submarines, torpedoes, fish, etc, that end up having considerably more inertia than their own mass, and end up accelerating slower with the engine on.
One time I did mathematics for realistic barrel falling into water in computer game; the apparent 'increase' of the mass, in combination with the conservation of momentum, rather accurately describes a large part of the deceleration of object when it is entering water.

Hi there,
I want to ask about the 2-cycle of K3 surface.
As we know, its betti number $b_2$=22, so there will be 22 2-cycle generators.
Is there any topological way to figure out such cycles direct?
For example, in the best case, if the K3 surface is elliptic and has a global section, can we use combinations of fibre and section to represent all the 22 2-cycles?
share|improve this question
Jay, the fibers and a section of a fibration are algebraic curves, so anything you can generate will be inside the Picard group. So, in any case, the maximum rank you can get this way is 20, but in most cases much smaller. – Sándor Kovács Jun 29 '12 at 5:07
_USER_'andor -- What about supersingular K3 surfaces? – Jason Starr Jun 30 '12 at 16:13
I suspect that the questioner was interested in the complex case, but I could be wrong. – Donu Arapura Jun 30 '12 at 18:59
In the third paragraph of _URL_ you'll find an explicit example of a K3 surface over $\mathbb{Q}$, with an elliptic fibration, such that the rank generated by a section and components of fibers is $20$, that is the maximum in characteristic $0$. – Olivier Benoist Feb 7 '13 at 8:54

I think the easiest place to see the $22$ is in a Kummer surface. Let $A$ be an abelian surface, so topologically $(S^1)^4$. This clearly has $h_2 = \binom{4}{2} = 6$, and there are obvious topological repreentatives for the $2$-cycles, given by $(S^1)^2$ in $6$ different ways.
Let $X$ be the quotient of $A$ by negation. This has $16$ singular points; the images of the $16$ $2$-torsion points of $A$. Let $Y$ be $X$ blown up at these $16$ points. Then $H_2(Y)$ is (ADDED rationally, see below) generated by the pushforwards of the $6$ $2$-cycles from $A$, and the $16$ $\mathbb{P}^1$'s introduced by resolving the singularities. $6+16=22$.
share|improve this answer
There is only one problem with this: The (integer) lattice generated by all of these is not all of $H_2(Y)$. The resulting integer lattice of is index $2^{22}$; see the book Compact Complex Surfaces by Barth, Peters and Van de Ven. – Simon Rose Jun 29 '12 at 21:30
we lose some data there? – Jay Jun 30 '12 at 14:39
Essentially, yes. This is a great way to find rational generators, but it doesn't give integral ones. One quick way to see that is to look at the intersection form: For a K3 surface, the intersection form is $2E_8 \oplus 3H$, whereas the intersection form for the lattice generated by these classes is much simpler (for example, the 16 singular points are all (-2)-curves which intersect no other classes given). – Simon Rose Jun 30 '12 at 17:17
You could try Aspinwall's paper:

LaSalle Lake, a manmade,
2,058-acre lake 8 miles southeast of Marseilles, is popular among anglers.
Serving as a cooling lake for Commonwealth Edison's LaSalle Power Station,
the lake is formed by levees that rise above the surrounding land. While
this perched construction helps the lake catch the wind to
cool the impounded water, it can result in extremely hazardous conditions
for unwary boaters. All lake users should familiarize themselves with
the precautions described in the "Safety Information" below.
Dirt excavated for
the LaSalle County lake's construction was used to build the shoreline and internal dikes,
which are covered with rock riprap. The dikes are used to direct cooling
water through a five-day circulation pattern from the discharge channel
back to the intake channel. Typically there is a 20-degree water temperature
difference between the two channels. The average depth of LaSalle Lake
is 15 feet, but excavated areas within the lake are up to 70 feet
With its riprapped
shoreline, LaSalle has no natural shoreline for beaching boats. Boaters
must allow ample time to boat from the lake's northern shores to the boat
ramp area on the southwestern corner.
Boaters and anglers
are responsible for their own safety. Follow all boating safety
regulations, including observing the no wake zones.
Always remain aware of changing weather conditions and wave development.
The surface condition of the lake can change rapidly and wave action
can be excessive.
warning system at LaSalle Lake is located on the tip of the internal
dike that extends from the west shore. When the light of the wind warning
system is flashing, no boats are to be launched and boats on the lake
should seek shelter.
For boater's safety,
and for the safety of power plant divers who repair nets in the intake
structure on the discharge canal, boaters are not allowed within the
restricted areas marked off by orange buoys. Boaters observed
in a restricted area will have their boat numbers submitted to Conservation
Police Officers and tickets will be issued.
Swimming, wading and
water skiing are prohibited at LaSalle Lake as are sailboats, sailboards
and surfboards. All boats must be powered by gasoline engines. The maximum
speed on the lake is 40 mph. It is advisable to carry a battery-powered
AM-FM radio to monitor weather conditions. Two-way radios
must be turned off within 200 feet of power lines.
All boating is done
at your own risk.
are not allowed.
Dates and Hours
LaSalle Lake will be open seven days a week from 6:00 am to Sunset starting April 1st, 2013.
All fishermen must be off the lake by closing time.
Visitors to LaSalle Lake are reminded that on opening day and during the first two weeks of the fishing season, long lines are expected at the site entrance. Visitors are reminded to adhere to all rules, regulations and direction from staff to make this season at LaSalle Lake an enjoyable experience for all.
A boat is not needed
to fish LaSalle Lake. Many individuals and families enjoy bank fishing.
A fishing pier for disabled anglers is located at Ivy Point.
In addition to obeying
statewide fishing regulations, anglers must observe LaSalle Lake's site
specific regulations, which include two poles and line fishing only. In
addition, the following daily catch limits are in effect:
One black bass (either
largemouth or smallmouth), 18-inch minimum length.
10 striped bass, white
bass or hybrid striped bass (either singly or in the aggregate), no more
than three of which may be 17 inches on longer in length.

We present a new formula which models the rate of decline of supernovae (SN) as given by the light curve in various bands. The physical basis is the conversion of the flux of kinetic energy into radiation. The two main components of the model are a power law dependence for the radius–time relation and a decreasing density with increasing distance from the central point. The new formula is applied to SN 1993J, SN 2005cf, SN 1999ac, and SN 2001el in different bands.

Tetrahedra Take Flight
Who knew that tetrahedra could fly? I know, pretty much anything can fly when you fill it with helium, but the movement of helium-filled tetrahedra called SmartInversion by Festo gives rise to an interesting and unusual propulsion method [source: gizmag]. Using inverse kinetics, Festo have developed what they call an "airborne geometrical band with inversion drive". The movement is difficult to describe but mesmerizing to watch:
Tetrahedra also play an important role in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), helping simulate air flow by providing the mesh around complicated geometry so a CFD solver can generate a solution.
It's good to see tetrahedra breaking out on their own from CFD in order to carve out a new niche in real world aerodynamics.

The IFA is proud to announce Professor Jonathan Brown's selection for the prestigious Bernardo de Galvez Prize in recognition of his pioneering work in the study of Spanish Golden Age painting, along with his decades of contributions to the intercultural dialogue between Spain and the United States, and the accessibility and appreciation of Spanish visual culture in the US. Professor Brown's work on Spanish painting focuses not only on the historical context and aesthetic aspects of these works, but on the keys to their conservation and restoration which have been essential to their proper care and preservation.

How do i untrim it, somewhere in the code?
How do i use method SPRibbon.TrimById(string id, string visibilityContext)?

How frequently can male dogs breed?
How many times can a male dog mate in a day?
One acceptable and recommended thing for male dogs is that they mate with female dogs at most twice a day. But, for the male dogs, if you give them a chance to do this more than twice, they won't hesitate. There are no rules on how frequently in a day male dogs should mate; some males can go up to ten times or more.

How often can a dog produce sperm?
A normal male dog can ejaculate every two to five days and maintain their daily sperm output. However, frequent ejaculation influences the quantity and quality of the dog's semen. To ensure good quality sperm, semen should be collected no more than every other day on a regular basis.
How many times can you breed a dog in a year?
It's possible for a female dog to have a maximum of three litters a year. Female dogs can go into heat around the age of six to 12 months and do not go into menopause. Assuming a dog lives to the average age of 11, a dog could have up to 30 litters.

Here's why the term 'Karen' became popular during the Black Lives Matter movement
Wednesday, 5th August 2020, 1:26 pm
Updated Wednesday, 5th August 2020, 1:26 pm

One surprising development in the wake of 2020's Black Lives Matter protests has been the use of the name 'Karen' to signify an officious, entitled, white woman.
Its use has become so widespread on social media that businesses have jumped on the bandwagon.
In New Zealand, Domino's was offering people called Karen the chance to win a free pizza as a "break from negativity" (it eventually shuttered the promotion following widespread backlash).

The i newsletter cut through the noise
There's even a sub-Reddit dedicated to the shaming of r/EntitledKarens.
But where did the new meaning of the name come from, and how did a seemingly innocuous first name come to be shorthand for rude, obnoxious and insufferable middle-aged white women who complain about things?
Here's everything you need to know:
What does Karen mean?
The name Karen first entered the English language hundreds of years ago from Danish, where it has been a short form of "Katherine" since medieval times.
It became popular in the English-speaking world in the 1940s, and has seen a resurgence in online mentions in recent years; but not for the reasons many people called Karen would like.
Why Karen?
One may assume the name's current usage sprung up following the story of a woman calling the police on a black birdwatcher in New York's Central park after he asked her to obey the rules around dogs on leads.
But the name's new connotations predate that story: there was the time a woman was dubbed a Karen after helping herself at a restaurant's server's station in an impatient bid for condiments, and the story of a mum who was called a Karen for telling a woman wearing a bikini to cover up.
Rarely in those situations is the entitled person in question actually called Karen, so why has the name become attached to such instances?
According to Robin Queen, Professor of Linguistics at the University of Michigan, "first names tend to contain a range of social cues.
"An obvious one is gender," Prof Queen said, writing for The Conversation. "But they can convey other kinds of information too, including age, ethnicity, religion, social class and geography.
"The first name Karen peaked in popularity in 1965, which means that in 2020, most people named Karen are middle aged.
"Because roughly 80% of the U.S. population was white in the 1960s, it's safe to assume that the proportion of people named Karen in 2020 is predominantly white."
Prof Queen says it's "largely a coincidence" that Karen – rather than another popular baby name from the 1960s – is the name that became the label, and the name's repeated use on social media has reinforced its status.
Where did the new use of 'Karen' come from?
A number of theories about the origins of Karen's current subtext have been put forward.
In African American communities, generic names have stood as shorthand for white women to be wary of due to their propensity to wield their privilege for a number of years.
A trend of posting pictures of white women calling the police on the everyday activities of black people emerged in 2018, each labelled with alliterative hashtags like _TAG_ and _TAG_.
Another theory traces the use of Karen back to American comedian Dane Cook's 2005 skit in which he derided Karen as "that friend nobody likes."
Karen - according to Cook - is entitled and "always a douche," though Cook's angle seems to be void of racial critique and more focused on gender-stereotypes.
Another hypothesis points to the 2017 thread 'F*** You Karen', a parody of a Reddit user who ranted about his ex-wife (called Karen) receiving custody of their children and possession of the family home.
Central Park incident a 'perfect moment'
Those three ideas all seem to explain a different slice of the Karen pie.
The first deals with its racial connotations, the second with Karen's perceived entitlement, and the third with her pushy nature.
The Central Park incident earlier in 2020 fused all three together to form the Karen we know today, a "perfect moment" for the "strands to come together" says Prof Queen.
"There's the intersection of entitled behaviour, racism and demographics."
What happened on This Morning?
The Karen debate reached a new head in Britain this week when This Morning viewers were left baffled as three Karens appeared to complain about the "racist" and "unfair" use of their name.
Karen Masters, Trigg and Serfass all appealed to viewers to stop using their name in a "negative" way, a moment described as "the most Karen thing to do" by social media users.
"We can't, as Karens, now talk about how this is affecting us because we are told we are entitled if we do this," said Masters. "I set up a to show this is not fair for us to put up with this."
"'People say Karens are entitled, but we're not,' insists Karen, who started a petition and went on the TV to complain about people using the name Karen facetiously, in what is perhaps the most Karen thing any Karen has ever Karened," said one Twitter user.

My father-in-law just asked me an interesting question:
How much would an inch of water covering an acre weigh?
It's not such a difficult question. It seems like a perfect query for Wolfram Alpha.
WA doesn't get the question at all. In fact, it seems to have classified an acre as an animal. Maybe I should have said hectare? Nope. It does no better.
Interestingly, Google makes solving this problem trivial, thanks to the useful "convert" command. I solved the problem in two steps. (It helps to know that a cubic centimeter of water weighs a gram – in fact, that's the definition of a gram.)
Convert 1 inch x 1 acre to cubic centimeters -> 102 790 153 cubic centimeters
We already have the answer, 102,790,153 grams, but to put it into terms that are more human I Googled:
and got the correct answer, 113.306748 short tons.
No matter that my father-in-law used a calculator, we both got the same answer, proving that Google is, in some cases, better at numeric analysis than Wolfram Alpha.
The real problem with WA is that it's not easy to formulate a query that produces the results you're looking for. Type 'blood alcohol' and you'll get fascinating results (thanks to Chris Heath for finding that, by the way), but not necessarily results you can expect. And, as it turns out, predictability is an important feature of any search engine, or computational knowledge engine for that matter. Before it's useful you need to have some idea of what kind of answers you might get, and, for the moment, Wolfram Alpha's results seem utterly random. I'm rooting for it, but it may be that it's just too smart for The Rest Of Us.
(Thanks to Edward Coffey who points out that the query "1 acre * 1 inch * 1g / cubic centimetre" works on Wolfram Alpha. Quite well, in fact. But I don't think that changes my point.)

I expect this is a classical question, so feel free to point me to classical answers: what is the fastest-growing function $f(t)$ for which we know that $$ |2^t - 3^{t'}| \ge f(\min(t,t')) \;? $$ In particular, do we know that the gaps between powers of 2 and powers of 3 get exponentially large as $t,t'$ increase? Do we know anything like this for any other pair of integers besides 2 and 3?

What you need is the theory of lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms. A good place to start reading about this is the following article by Evertse:
In particular, Corollary 1.8 of the article (a Corollary to a famous theorem of Matveev) gives
$$ \lvert 2^a-3^b \rvert \ge \frac{\max(2^a,3^b)}{(e \max(a,b))^{C}} $$ where $C$ is a positive constant (that is easily computable--see the proof and also the statement of Theorem 1.7).

Can you give a rough and ready estimate of $C$ for those who just want to be impressed with this neat result? – Felix Goldberg Dec 21 '12 at 11:05
I guess you expect $t$ and $t'$ to be integers. In this case, having a small $2^p-3^q$ is related to having a small $\frac{\log 3}{\log 2} - \frac{p}{q}$. So it's Diophantine approximation, and this is very well studied. The first result in Diophantine approximation is that there exists an infinity of rational $p/q$ such that $$ \left|\frac{\log 3}{\log 2} - \frac{p}{q}\right| < \frac{1}{q^2}. $$ In which case it's not hard to compute that $$ \left| 2^p - 3^q \right| = \mathcal{O}\left( \frac{3^q}{q} \right). $$ This is valid of course for all $2$'s and $3$'s.
If now you want lower bounds, then you will need to know a upper bound for the irrationality measure of $\frac{\log 3}{\log 2}$, which is hard to get, but hopefully someone did it. Do you want more details?

I was a little hesitant to post the following thing after the very thorough answers and references, yet it contains a concrete inequality, and may be of interest as a first elementary approach towards the full complexity of the problem.
The idea is that if $2^t$ and $3^ {t'}$ are too close to each other, then $2^{t+1}$ is close to $2\cdot3^{t'}$, hence it is roughy in the middle between $3^ {t'}$ and $3^ {t'+1}$, and therefore far from any power of $3$. To make this into a more quantitative form: assume that $t$ and $t'$ satisfy $$|2^t -3^ {t'}| < \frac{1}{5} 2^t\,.$$ Then it follows plainly
$$ 3^ {t'} + \frac{1}{5} 2^t < 2^{t+1} < 3^ {t'+1} - \frac{2}{5} 2^t \,.$$ Therefore the closest power of $3$ to $2^{t+1}$ is either $3^ {t'}$ or $3^ {t'+1}$, in any case not closer than $ \frac{1}{5} 2^{t+1}$. This tell us that the inequality $$\min _ {t'\in\mathbb{N}} |2^t -3^ {t'}| > \frac{1}{5} 2^t$$ holds for at least one out of two consecutive integers $t$ and $t+1$. So at least half of the powers of $2$, in a density sense, have a distance from the powers of three of at least one fifth of their size.

"Scientists can finally track [ancient Rome's] economic booms and recessions—thanks to the exhaust of its massive coin-making operation, preserved for centuries in Greenland's ice sheet"
Why does the amount of lead in the atmosphere tell us something about the Roman economy? "It's a proxy for coin production. That's the biggest thing," said Seth Bernard, a professor of ancient history at the University of Toronto. When the Roman government needed to pay for something, it ordered the creation of new silver coins. These coins were produced, in part, in mines on the Iberian peninsula. But these mines didn't excavate pure silver: Instead, they unearthed an ore of silver, lead, and copper that had to be smelted into silver. This process filled the air with lead pollution.
Once in the air, these lead emissions did not stay in one place. Instead, it wafted with the winds, eventually blowing into squalls and storms over Greenland. When these storms deposited lead-tainted snow or sleet over the Arctic island, the precipitation fused with the ice sheet and became its newest layer.
When compared with other studies, research suggests that Western Europe may have seen higher lead emissions during the Pax Romana than at any time prior to the Industrial Revolution, nearly 1,800 years later.
This finding reverses a widely cited study from the 1990s that reached almost exactly the opposite finding.

I have a two-server queue with Poisson arrival rate and $\lambda$ exponential services with $\mu$ ( first server service rate) and 2$\mu$ ( 2nd server service rate). Capacity is infinite.
Then why is the number of customers in the queue at time $t$ not a Markov Process?
Can you please help me out?
Thank You.
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
You need extra information to make the process a Markov process. The Markov property requires that the future depend only on the current state, but suppose you have only a single customer in the system. The future behaviour of the system depends on the history of the process (namely which server that job started service with) not just the current state. (It could experience service at rate either $\mu$ or $2\mu$.)

Ice and salt experiment
Moving ice with a fan in a kids STEAM activity
1. Set up the activity
Set up the activity with a fan, a smooth surface, and ice cubes. You might go through some trial and error, as we did, in order to get results kids can easily observe and identify.
Here are some examples of our tests:
In our first attempt, we placed the ice cubes directly on the counter top.
For our second attempt, we placed the ice cubes on a glass cutting board (turned upside down as the underside is smooth).
We also tried various fans - a small table fan, a slightly larger 12 in. (30 cm) table model, and a floor model. The 12 in. (30 cm) sized fan is shown in the picture. It proved the best for moving the ice cubes.
2. Conduct experiments
Ice Races

3. Observe results
 - We noticed that ice cubes melted faster in the path of the fan than ice cubes off to the side.
 - Salt inhibited the movement of the ice cube.
 - Ice cubes would slow or stop and then proceed after melting a bit, as if they moved on a cushion of water.
 Science for kids with salt and ice cubes
4. Make conclusions
Factors affecting the movement of the ice include:
 - type of surface where the ice cubes are placed
 - size of fan and strength of air flow
 - salt sprinkled in the path of the ice cube
 - ice melting during the experiment
This is an open-ended activity that encourages input and response from kids. As they play and learn kids benefit from exploring the challenges presented in this activity, and from the fine motor and sensory experiences it provides.

ApiEST-DB - Apicomplexan EST Database ApiDots (formerly ApiESTDB) is a database integrating mRNA/EST sequences from numerous Apicomplexan parasites. ESTs and mRNAs were clustered and further assembled to generate consensus sequences. These consensus sequences were then subjected to database searches against protein sequences and protein domain sequences. The underlying relational structure of this database allows researchers to analyze these data and pose biologically interesting questions.
Description :
Comparasite is a database for comparative studies of transcriptomes of parasites, which are defined by the full-length cDNAs from various apicomplexan parasites. It integrates seven individual databases consisting of numerous full-length cDNA clones that we have produced and sequenced: 12 484 cDNA sequences from Plasmodium.falciparum, 11 262 from P. yoelii, 9 633 from P. vivax; 1 518 from P. berghei, 7 400 from Toxoplasma gondii, 5 921 from Cryptosporidium parvum, and 10 966 from the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Putatively counterpart gene groups are clustered and comparative analysis of any combination of six apicomplexa species is implemented, such as interspecies comparisons regarding protein motifs (InterPro), predicted subcellular localization signals (PSORT), transmembrane regions (SOSUI), or upstream promoter elements. By specifying keywords and other search conditions, Comparasite retrieves putative counterpart gene groups containing a given feature in common or in a species-specific manner. By enabling multi-faceted comparative analyses of genes of apicomplexa protozoa, monophyletic organisms that have evolved to diversify to parasitize various hosts by adopting complex life cycles, Comparasite should help elucidate the mechanism behind parasitism. Our full-length cDNA databases and Comparasite are accessible from

Missing Time
A composition/installation for electric bass, composed by Frederick Galiay.
Missing Time is a composition in eight parts, for a soloist playing the electric bass, in interaction with a device of active sound recording (and for the live version, an interpreter in acousmonium).
The bass is put on the ground, played by a single instrumentalist, with diverse items (bows, metals, resonators…) and the electric signal, divided into two circuits, is also modulated by the instrumentalist.
Both different signals are managed towards two independent systems of diffusion. Every amplifier is then "taken back" by several points of recording.
In the studio version, the reorganization of these multiple points of view of the same music uses techniques and tools of the electroacoustic music, emphasizing a frequency spatializing.
The general aesthetics of the work came, largely, from the fascination of the composer for the obstinacy of the music of ceremonies of the monks Bonpo and more generally from the mystic music of extreme east.
Frederick Galiay wished to move closer, deliberately, the divine revelations to the aliens instructions.
The eight movements of the opus symbolize, in a metaphoric way (and rather freely), the eight phases we find almost systematically in testimonies of abducted.
The process of decomposition of the sound is thought in an immaterial space which exceeds the instrument and the musician in a meditative zone, creating a spatial and temporal gap, a space in the material which modulates the space creating the illusion of missing time...

text: Blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures can be performed efficiently in the frequency domain, where independent component analysis (ICA) is applied separately in each frequency bin. To solve the permutation problem of frequency-domain BSS robustly, information regarding the number of sources is very important. This paper presents a method for estimating the number of sources from convolutive mixtures of sources. The new method estimates the power of each source or noise component by using ICA and a scaling technique to distinguish sources and noises. Also, a reverberant component can be identified by calculating the correlation of component envelopes. Experimental results for up to three sources show that the proposed method worked well in a reverberant condition whose reverberation time was 200 ms.

text: This paper concerns covariance matrix based spectrum sensing over frequency selective channels. The impact of frequency selective channels on the covariance matrix of received signals is analyzed in frequency domain and it is shown that the phases of channel spectra degrade the performance of covariance matrix based detectors. To overcome this problem, we propose a new detector which employs only the magnitude spectra of received signals and thereby achieves considerable performance gain. Theoretical performance, in terms of the false-alarm and detection probabilities of the proposed detector, is analyzed. Simulation results verify our theoretical analyses and demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed detector.

This happens when there are multiple domains and the outbound link for one or more domain is set to Direct Link mode via TCPIP. However, there is no IP address seen as it can be seen in the screenshot.
Corrective Action:
This could get very tedious specially when there are a lot of domains involved in a singel GroupWise system
1. Connect to the domain database in ConsoleOne for which MTA fails to load
2. Right-Click | GroupWise Utilities | Link Configuration
3. Check every outbound links for the domain.
4. If everything looks good then from the Drop down box select Primary Domain
5. Now check every outbound link.
Keep following the search process from steps 3 - 5 until you get the link as similar to screenshot above. Kindly check the links thoroughly to ensure nothing is missed.
6. Once the link is found verify the outbound links are for which domain
7. Connect to the domain database that was found in the above step and edit the outbound link
8. Toggle the setting and then save it.
9. Connect to primary domain database and rebuild the secondary domain. The MTA should now load without any errors.
Additional Information
Note: The observation generally seen when connected to secondary domain and checking the link configuration of a primary domain. When conecting the primary domain and then checking the link configuration may or may not display the correct information. Hence Toggling the link configuration and then rebuilding the secondary domain solves the issue. However, it can be that a secondary domain has got wrong info and not primary. The procedure remains the same.
Since this has got to do with link configuration, it can get quite confusing based on the complexity and number of domains and links set. Hence ensure that each link is thoroughly checked.
