When cats stop grooming themselves.
Cats sometimes look like contortionists when they clean themselves with their tongue, teeth, paws and claws. Grooming takes lots of energy. If you notice that your cat has stopped grooming herself, this could indicate that she is sick or in pain. If she is drooling or eating less, she could have diseased teeth and gums, something stuck in her mouth or even an oral tumor. If your cat is older and has arthritis, this could make all of the twisting and turning with grooming too painful. Overweight cats can also have a hard time grooming those hard to reach spots. Sometimes they will stop grooming themselves if there's an emotional problem. Take her to the vet to determine why you cat has stopped cleaning herself. Your veterinarian will give her a thorough examination and maybe even give her some pet medication if necessary.

Scientists link ancient Arctic camel to modern breed
OTTAWA (AP) — Ancient, mummified camel bones dug from the tundra confirm that the animals now synonymous with the arid sands of Arabia actually developed in subfreezing forests in what is now Canada's High Arctic, a scientist said Tuesday.
About 3.5 million years ago, Strathcona Fiord on Ellesmere Island's west-central coast would have looked more like a northern forest than an Arctic landscape, said paleobotanist Natalia Rybczynski of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
"Larch-dominated, lots of wetlands, peat," said Rybczynski, lead author of a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. Nearby fossil sites have yielded evidence of ancient bears, horses, deer, badgers and frogs. The average yearly temperature would have been about 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit).
"If you were standing in it and watching the camel, it would have the feel of a boreal-type forest."
The Arctic camel was 30 percent larger than modern camels, she said. Her best guess is it was one-humped.
Although native camels are now only found in Africa and Asia, scientists have long believed the species actually developed in North America and later died out. Camel remains have been previously found in the Yukon.
What makes Rybczynski's find special is not only how far north it was found, but its state of preservation.
The 30 fragments found in the sand and pebbles of the tundra were mummified, not fossilized. So despite their age, the pieces preserved tiny fragments of collagen within them, a common type of protein found in bones.
Analyzing that protein not only proved the fragments were from camels, but from a type of camel that is much more closely related to the modern version than the Yukon camel. Out of the dozens of camel species that once roamed North America, the type Rybczynski found was one of the most likely to have crossed the Bering land bridge and colonized the deserts.
"This is the one that's tied to the ancestry of modern camels," she said.

Foreign Bank Entry and Business Volatility: Evidence from U.S. States and Other Countries
40 Pages Posted: 16 May 2003 Last revised: 2 Nov 2010
Date Written: May 2003
Theory suggests that bank integration (financial integration generally) can magnify or dampen the business cycles, depending on the importance of shocks to firm collateral versus shocks to the banking sector. In this paper, we show empirically that bank integration across U.S. states over the late 1970s and 1980 dampened economic volatility within states. Internationally, however, we find that foreign bank integration, which advanced widely during the 1990s, has been either unrelated to volatility of firm investment spending or positively related to that volatility. The results suggest the possibility that business spending may become more volatile as countries open their banking sectors to foreign entry.

The Sleep of Venus and Cupid by Constance Mayer
Constance Mayer was a French artist who painted portraits, miniatures, genre works and allegorical themes. Mayer was one of the successful women artists following the French Revolution. She had the opportunity to study with Joseph-Benoît Suvée and Jean-Baptiste Greuze, it explains that she adopted soft brush strokes and that she painted some sentimental scenes like her instructors.
In 1802 she began to study with Pierre-Paul Prud'hon; however, they did not have the typical pupil-master relationship, they were more like peers. After 1804 her works were very influenced by Prud'hon.
The Painting
The Sleep of Venus and Cupid by Constance Mayer (1806)
Venus as the goddess of love and sexuality became a popular subject of art during the Renaissance in Europe; since she was a classical figure for whom nudity was the natural state, it was socially acceptable to depict her unclothed and it was allowed a certain degree of erotic beauty in the depiction too.
This painting is today part of the Wallace Collection (London). It was property of the Empress Josephine at Malmaison before being brought by the fourth Marquess of Hertford in 1856. The Marquess lived in Paris during a very important period of French painting, between the years _PHONE_. Analysing his purchases, in general, they reflected the taste of a regular visitor of the annual Salon.
The torch of Venus by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon
It follows a previous drawing of Prud'hon, however Mayer's style, by that time, was very influenced by her teacher. Here the use of atmospheric sfumato and the profusion of putti is inspired in Corregio and Albani, some of Prud'hon's favourites.
It is the subject of the awakening of love, which in here was complemented by The torch of Venus by Prud'hon as a symbol of 'Constancy in Love'.
As in many other cases of women artists who were associated with better known male artists, some of her works were in a first moment attributed to Prud'hon and until today is not completely clear exactly what was hers and what was his. This confusion is especially due to fact that they collaborated on several works (he sketched and she made the painting). That is the case of this painting in particular, which was initially attributed to Prud'hon.

What are Difference between Covariance and Correlation
Distinguish, differentiate, compare and explain what is the Difference between Covariance and Correlation. Comparison and Differences.
Difference between Covariance and Correlation
Correlation is the standardized form of covariance.
Covariances are difficult to compare. For example: if we calculate the covariances of salary ($) and age (years), we'll get different covariances which can't be compared because of having unequal scales. To combat such situation, we calculate correlation to get a value between -1 and 1, irrespective of their respective scale.

It is known that glow sticks are used at night parties for added enjoyment and fun. Lighting up yourself and even the venue gives elegance to the party in dark. It is known for all of us. However, in addition to the recreational purposes, glow sticks also have several functional uses. One of the best example for its functional use is in scuba diving.
Scuba divers need to explore wonders in deep waters. It is exciting and also adventurous. The natural rays of the sun do not penetrate through the deep water. In addition, scuba diving at night is also difficult. Therefore, specific light sources are used by scuba divers. Many artificial light systems are found to be used by them for a long time. However, glow products like glow sticks have been preferably used by them.
They can catch a glow stick in their hand while looking for adventurous things in water. Glow sticks are even attached to their tanks. In group diving, unique colored glow sticks can be given to each diver in order to facilitate coordination and communication. Sometimes, the master diver is given one color and the others are given another color. The divers can even wear specific colored glow necklaces and bracelets for identification.
Glow sticks are strong, tough and also durable. They emit light for at least 12 hours. They are so easy to handle because of their simple design. The other important feature of glow sticks is that they are water-proof. They can also offer lighting for on-deck emergency situations. Hence, they are the best tools for lighting for scuba divers.

how to make au jus without beef broth
Au Jus
Au jus is a term that means "with juice" of the meat. It is most commonly found in French cuisine. Au jus can be found in beef or any meat dishes that are prepared or served along with light gravy, or bouillon that is made from all the fluids dripped out of the meat when it is being cooked.
Au Jus is one of the natural ways to enhance the flavor of meat and sauces. It mainly enhances chicken dishes because the chicken has a light taste, or it can be used with veal and lamb as well. French cuisine prefers having Au Jus in most of their meat dishes.
How To Make Au Jus Without Beef Broth?
Recipe of Au Jus Without Beef Broth

Substitute of Beef Broth
It's okay if you don't want to use beef broth! There are various substitutes for it. A lot of your favorite recipes are using beef broth, however, you need substitutes that can work well in all your daily recipes. We have mentioned below a few substitutes for beef broth.
1. Beef Stock
If using beef is not a problem for you then you can switch between beef broth and beef stock. Both of these ingredients taste almost the same, however, the difference is majorly in the extracting materials. The difference between beef-broth and beef-stock is, beef broth is made from an extract that is taken out of both meat and bones attached to that meat.
While the beef stock is made with vegetables and beef bones. Most people, in case of running out of beef broth, use beef stock because it is the best replacement for beef broth in any recipe.
2. Bouillon Cubes
Bouillon cubes are also beef extracts but in a different state. Beef broth exists in a liquid form and bouillon cubes are found as a dried extract in cubes form. You can use bouillon cubes by dissolving them in cups of water, and it can replace a cup of beef broth in any recipe if one cube is dissolved in one cup of water.
These cubes of beef bouillon are concentrated to give an enhanced taste when they are dissolved in water.
However, if you are trying to maintain a pure vegan meal, then you can use Vegetable Broth, which tastes a little bit different however it's a great vegan replacement for beef broth.
Hopefully, this blog helped you in making an Au Jus recipe without the use of beef broth.

This statue was found in the throne room of the palace/temple at Hazor. It shattered into hundreds of fragments in the fire that destroyed the city. Though nothing like it has come to light anywhere in the Near East, its style bears a clear link to Syrian and Hittite art. The basin suggests it was used in a religious rite.
The figure wears a pendant in the shape of a crescent with an eight-rayed star, symbols of a prominent deity. However, there is no way of telling whether it represents a god or a ruler.

Insights on service system design from a normal approximation to Erlang's delay formula
Coauthor(s): Peter Kolesar.
We show how a simple normal approximation to Erlang's delay formula can be used to analyze capacity and staffing problems in service systems that can be modeled as M/M/s queues. The numbers of servers, s, needed in an M/M/s queueing system to assure a probability of delay of, at most, p can be well approximated by s ≅ p + z***I-p+, where z1-p, is the (1 - p)th percentile of the standard normal distribution and ρ, the presented load on the system, is the ratio of Λ, the customer arrival rate, to μ, the service rate. We examine the accuracy of this approximation over a set of parameters typical of service operations ranging from police patrol, through telemarketing to automatic teller machines, and we demonstrate that it tends to slightly underestimate the number of servers actually needed to hit the delay probability target—adding one server to the number suggested by the above formula typically gives the exact result. More importantly, the structure of the approximation promotes operational insight by explicitly linking the number of servers with server utilization and the customer service level. Using a scenario based on an actual teleservicing operation, we show how operations managers and designers can quickly obtain insights about the trade-offs between system size, system utilization and customer service. We argue that this little used approach deserves a prominent role in the operations analyst's and operations manager's toolbags.

Rubbermaid® Reduces Environmental Impact with Dishwasher-Safe Reusable Bottles
Reusable water bottles that require hand washing have a higher environmental impact than those that are dishwasher safe, according to an independently third-party reviewed lifecycle assessment study (LCA) sponsored by Rubbermaid® and conducted by Environmental Resources Management.
The household washing of reusable water bottles represents the largest component of a bottle's environmental impact because the energy needed for a residential water heater is much higher than the electricity consumption for a dishwasher when washing the same amount of place settings. As plastic and stainless steel bottles are recommended to be dishwasher safe, they were found to have significantly lower environmental impact across a wide range of categories when compared to aluminum bottles.
"At Rubbermaid, our goal is to make products that fit consumers' lifestyles and we take into consideration how consumers will use our products," said Dave Zak, Director of Research & Development at Rubbermaid. "This study validated our strategy of making only dishwasher-safe bottles. In addition to being more convenient for consumers, they also create significantly less environmental impact in the long run."
The LCA examined the four most widely-available water bottle materials in the U.S. and Canada — aluminum, stainless steel and two forms of plastic (TRITANTM co-polyester and polypropylene, which are used by Rubbermaid and other plastic bottle makers). The study assessed the products from cradle to grave (from manufacturing to disposal) including the effects associated with the extraction of raw materials, bottle manufacturing and packaging, distribution to retail locations, use of the water bottle and disposal. Conclusions from the study stemmed from an assessment of 10 environmental impacts, including global warming, non-renewable energy, mineral extraction and carcinogens.
One of the most critical differentiators between water bottle types, with regard to environmental impact, was the method of washing. Manufacturers of aluminum bottles recommend hand washing, and manufacturers of steel bottles recommend hand and dishwashing, while Rubbermaid recommends putting its plastic bottles, which are BPA-free, in the dishwasher.
"We are committed to continuing this kind of work," said Zak, "so we can ensure our products create the minimum environmental impact possible, while at the same time continuing our legacy of quality and innovation."

The development of digitally recorded speech audiometry materials in Mandarin Chinese has been limited to date. High quality materials proliferate in the English language and have been developed for other languages such as Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, Polish, and Russian. The aims of this study were to develop, digitally record, evaluate, and equate words and word lists in Mandarin Chinese to use for speech reception threshold testing and for speech discrimination testing. The words that were evaluated were chosen from a Chinese frequency usage dictionary. One native male and one native female talker recorded the words onto a compact disc. These words were then evaluated on 20 normally-hearing subjects, all of whom were natives of mainland China. Following the tests, the words and word lists were analyzed using logistic regression. For speech reception threshold testing, 24 Mandarin Chinese trisyllabic words with steep psychometric function slopes were selected. Their intensities were adjusted to match the mean subject pure-tone average of 3.0 dB HL. The mean slopes for these selected male and female trisyllabic words were 11.3 %/dB and 12.1 %/dB, respectively. For the speech discrimination testing, the 200 bisyllabic words with the steepest logistic regression slopes were divided among four psychometrically equivalent lists of 50 words each and eight half-lists of 25 words each. The intensity of each word list was digitally adjusted so that the threshold of each list was equal to the midpoint between the mean thresholds of the male and female half-lists. All lists were homogeneous with respect to audibility and psychometric function slope. Digital recordings of the psychometrically equivalent word lists are included on a compact disc.

How to tune a car sound system: adding a 4-channel amp
Buck Pomerantz
More from Buck Pomerantz
Rockford Fosgate Power T400X4ad
Rockford Fosgate Power T400X4ad 4-channel amplifier
Adding a 4-channel amp to your car stereo system — two channels to run the front speakers and two channels to run the rear speakers — not only raises the sound level, but also greatly increases the sound quality of your music. This is how I'd tune it up:
 1. Before turning on your system, make sure your amplifier's gains are set to their minimums, their highand low-pass filters are off (set to "all pass" or flat), and that any bass and treble boosts are also off.
 2. Turn on all the units of your system. Set your receiver's tone or EQ controls, its balance, and its fade to their middle, off, or flat positions. Note where the settings were as you might want to restore them later. If you have a subwoofer in your system, turn its amp gain all the way down.
 3. Play your test music. That's a recording you are very familiar with and know what it's supposed to sound like. It has plenty of sonic variety: lots of very high notes like flutes, brass, and cymbals, lots of mid-range content like piano, guitar, and vocals, and lots of very low notes like bass and drums. And you will listen to it over and over again. (For steps 4 through 10, while you're setting the amplifier's gains, it is best to play the loudest passages of your song selection.)
 4. Set the receiver's fade control all the way to the front speakers.
 5. With your amplifier's gain controls still all the way down, turn the receiver's volume up to ¾ full, or until the music sounds distorted. (If you don't hear any music at all, try turning the amp's front gain control up slightly until you do.) If you hear distortion, turn down the receiver's volume until the distortion goes away and the music sounds clean.
 6. Now turn up the front gain control of your amp until the music distorts, then turn it down so it plays clean again.
 7. Turn the receiver volume down.
 8. Set the receiver's fade control all the way to the rear speakers.
 9. Again, turn the receiver's volume up to ¾ full and turn up the rear gain control of your amp until the music distorts, then turn it down so it plays clean again.
 10. Turn the receiver volume down.
 11. If you have no subwoofer in your system, restore your receiver's original tone, balance, and fade settings now. Or, you can refer to "How to Tune a Car Sound System: Part 1" for help in tuning your stereo to sound its best. Another tip is to engage the high-pass filter on the front channels of your 4-channel amp, and tune it to eliminate some of the low notes coming from the front speakers in order to bring extra clarity to your soundstage. (That's the ability of your stereo to sound like a band is playing in front of you, live in your car.)
 12. If you do have a subwoofer in your system, adjust the receiver's fade control to the front speakers only and turn up the volume until the music is loud, but not uncomfortable. Engage the high-pass filter of the amplifier's front channels and adjust it so the bass notes disappear. Fade the receiver to the rear speakers only and engage and adjust the rear channels' high-pass filter until the bass disappears there too. Return your receiver's fade control to its original position.
 13. Slowly turn up the gain of your subwoofer amplifier until the bass notes sound balanced and smoothly blended with the rest of the music. Your sub amp's low-pass filter should already be tuned to reproduce only the low notes. You can refer to Tuning Your Subs, for help in fine-tuning your subwoofer system.
 14. If your highs and lows seem balanced but the bass sounds like it's coming from the rear, adjust the sub amp's low-pass filter lower to "de-localize" it. Pay close attention to the "crossover area", the parts of the music played by both the full-range speakers and your subwoofer. Smooth any roughness by fine-tuning the filters. For instance, if the vocals sound tinny, you can adjust the high-pass filters on your 4-channel amp to include more low notes. If the vocals sound boomy, tune the high-pass filters higher.
Take your time and tune it all for your own ears and you will never go wrong.

How to use IP Filters to restrict student access to tests
In this article, you'll learn how to use the IP Filter option on tests to restrict test access to students who are on computers at a specific location.
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to an Internet-connected device. It serves to identify the device and give the device an "address". Because devices are generally connected to networks in a particular location (e.g. your college campus, your home office, the local coffee shop, etc.) IP addresses can be used to identify where a device is located.
IP Filtering for tests works as follows:
 1. You specify that only devices from certain IP addresses may access the test.
 2. When students go to take the test from the correct IP address, they can access the test.
 3. If they go to take the test from the wrong IP address, they are locked out of the test. Here's what they'll see when that happens.
The typical use for IP Filtering is to ensure that only students in a particular location (perhaps surveyed by a proctor) can access a test. You should not use this tool in online-only courses where your students are located all over the place—it'd be a tremendous hassle keeping track of all the IP addresses you'd need.
When adding a new test assignment, you can add an IP filter restriction.
 1. Follow the instructions for setting up a test assignment.
 2. Under Restrictions, check next to Filter IP addresses.
 3. Enter the IP address(es) from which you wish to permit access to this test. Consult with your school's IT department if you need help determining what to enter in these fields.
 4. When you're done, click Save.

Nod (gesture)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A depiction of a man nodding
Nodding to indicate acceptance[edit]
Different cultures assign different meanings to the gesture. Nodding to indicate "yes" is widespread, and appears in a large number of diverse cultural and linguistic groups. Areas in which nodding generally takes this meaning include the Indian subcontinent (note that the head bobble also shows agreement there), Iran, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Latin America and North America. Nodding may also be used as a sign of recognition in some areas. Nodding is also used to show respect. Insult can be inferred if it is not returned in kind.
Nodding to indicate refusal[edit]
There are few exceptions with some countries swapping the meanings between nodding and shaking head: in Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Albania a single nod of the head up (not down) indicates a "no".
There are varying theories as to why nodding is so frequently used to mean "yes". One simple theory is that it is a form of bowing, indicating that one is prepared to accept what another person is saying or requesting.[citation needed] It has also been stated[1] that babies, when hungry, search for milk by moving their heads vertically, but decline milk by turning their head from side to side.
An early survey of nodding and other gestures was The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, written by Charles Darwin in 1872. Darwin wrote to missionaries in many parts of the world asking for information on local gestures, and concluded that nodding for "yes" was common to many different groups.
Nodding as greeting[edit]
Nodding can also be used as a form of nonverbal greeting or acknowledgement of another's presence; in this context, it is essentially an especially mild form of bowing, with just enough movement to show a degree of respect without additional formality. This includes the traditional downwards nod, or the upwards nod (which is more informal and usually used among friends or subordinates). To increase the formality, the downwards nod may also be accompanied by a suitable verbal greeting.
Nodding syndrome[edit]
Nodding is also a symptom of a yet unexplained disease. It affects mostly children under 15, and was first documented in Tanzania in 1962.[2]

Technically Strong Market
Definition of 'Technically Strong Market'
A market in which both open interest and prices are increasing or in which both open interest and prices are decreasing. A market in which trading volume corresponds to price change where increasing volume accompanies increasing prices, and decreasing volume accompanies decreasing prices is considered technically strong.
Investopedia explains 'Technically Strong Market'
Technical analysts try to profit from trends in the prices of securities. They believe that historical pricing trends tend to repeat themselves, and by using price charts to identify these trends they can determine the best times to buy or sell to make a profit. Technical analysts are not concerned with fundamentals like the quality of a company's product or service, or its management.

Birding from the balcony: 10 birds you can spot in Pune
From cheeky barbets to pretty little sunbirds, there's plenty to see. Pune-based birdwatcher Ajinkya Dixit shares this easy bird-spotting guide
Birding from the balcony 10 birds you can spot in Pune
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
As the days get sultrier, flowers are blooming, trees are bearing fruit and birds are thronging to take advantage of nature's sweet gifts of summer. For Punekars cooped up at home with nothing much to look at other than the view outside their windows, it's a great time to take out those dusty binoculars and try a bit of birdwatching—without stepping out of your home at all. Ajinkya Dixit, a Pune-based photographer and birdwatcher, gives you easy cues to spot them on your next trip to your balcony. Note: Most of the photos below have been captured by Dixit from his home in Warje in the past month. If he can spot these beauties, there's no reason you can't! Happy quarantine birding!
Coppersmith barbet
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
The dumpy-looking, sparrow-size bird with a hoop-hoop call is more often heard than sighted. The bird tends to get camouflaged in the trees because of its green plumage, but its crimson nape and thickset yellow head make it stand out.
Where to spot: On small fruit-bearing trees like sacred fig and cluster fig trees.
Cinereous tit
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
This tiny, sparrow-like bird has a white cheek patch, a grey back and a white wingbar. A broad black line runs from the centre of its throat to the lower belly. Chattery in nature, it's call sounds like "swee-che-ti" or a "sewe-pewe".
Where to spot: Not too fond of dense forests, these birds are found on fruit-bearing trees and bushes in urban areas or woodlands
Purple sunbird
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
Sunbirds sport a long, beautiful bent beak evolved to drink nectar from flowers, especially blooms with long tubes. The purple sunbird, which chirps constantly and has loud call, is iridescent with a shimmery, shiny colour somewhere in between blue and green, much like a peacock. Its frame is much tinier than that of a sparrow's.
Where to spot: Purple sunbirds are usually found sipping nectar on flowering trees and plants like hibiscus, alamanda and tecoma.
Red-whiskered bulbul
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
This beauty has a bright cherry-red patch under its tail (vent), but it has a perky, pointed crest and a white underbody with a broken dark breast-band. It gets its name from the red patches behind its eyes (the whiskers). Its whistling notes are distinctly cheery sounding.
Where to spot: The red-whiskered bulbul is a hill station and forest bird, however, a few pairs survive in the heart of built-up localities
Asian koel
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
You've probably heard the koel's melodious call, a kik-kik-kuoo-kuoo loud and clear. The almost crow-size bird has a longish tail, and the male and female are very different in appearance. The male is a glossy black with a green beak and crimson eyes. The lady is brown, profusely stippled all over with white. The notorious bird lays her eggs in the crow's nest, a behaviour that naturalists call brood-parasitism.
Where to spot: It's breeding season for koels and they are all around you, on trees with thick foliage and even bare ones
Oriental white-eye or Indian white-eye
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
This hyperactive little yellow bird has an off-white underbelly and a white ring around its eyes. It has a light, bouncy flight and its chirp is a faint "zweee".
Where to spot: Oriental white eyes always have company, and can be spotted in gardens and on fruiting trees. It prefers more open areas as compared to dense forests.
Golden oriole
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
Roughly myna-size, the male is a brilliant golden-yellow and features black patches around its eye; the female is mostly a duller yellowy-green.
Where to spot: This is an arboreal bird and best chances to see it in upper branches of fruiting and flowering trees, and generally in good foliage. It is one of those birds that may be sighted even from the fourth or fifth and above storeys of your windows. The bird is, however, more commonly seen during the winter months of October to March.
Grey hornbill
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
The small, slate-grey bird sports an obvious casque above its bill. It flaps its wings rapidly and makes a short "kek-kek-kek" sound in flight, and a squealing hawklike high-pitched "kieeeeeu" when perched on a tree.
Where to spot: It is seen in gardens and parks in cities, feeding on large fruiting trees like the chickoo, mango and figs.
White-throated fantail
Photo: Ajinkya Dixit
This fantail flycatcher is all back, except it has a white throat and white brow. Its tail is like a Japanese fan and has white tips, and its harsh call is high-pitched and heard early in the morning.
Where to spot: Wherever the flies go—trees, plants, flowers and even dumpsters
Scaly-breasted munia
Photo: Sejpal/Alamy Stock Photo
The songster is dark brown above, white below with a beautiful scaly pattern in its underparts.
Where to spot: This species is usually seen in small flocks. Spotted around bushes and neighbourhoods close to farms as they collect tall strands of grass to make their nest

The Metabo Law – Japan – Nathanael Carton
The Japanese government approved a few years ago the "Metabo Law" in order to prevent the risk of a general obesity increase. This law refers to a set of guidelines requiring local governments and employers to conduct mandatory annual examinations and affect people between 40 and 74. If they exceed the maximum waistline measurements (85cm for men, 90cm for women), they are directed towards counselling. The fixed goal is the 25% obesity reduction by 2015.

|Grant to preserve rare American music recordings and photos|
|Monday, May 07, 2012|
Dolly Parton's first recording is among the items that the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will preserve, thanks to a new grant from the National Endowment from the Humanities.
The $131,765, three-year grant is called "From the Piedmont to the Swamplands: Preserving Southern Traditional Music." It will help digitize and make available more than 1,650 hours of rare sound recordings and 4,500 photographs of musical figures from the 1920s to the 1980s.
The Parton recording dates from 1960, when the 13-year-old Dolly traveled by bus from Tennessee to Lake Charles, La., to record "Puppy Love" for the Goldband Recording Corporation. The collection holds the original master tape.
Other rarities to be preserved include:
"This grant allows us to preserve national treasures and provide online access to our collections for the first time," says Steve Weiss, curator of the Southern Folklife Collection, one of the nation's largest repositories for Southern music and culture.
The grant will preserve materials from four significant collections: the Goldband Recording Corporation Collection, _PHONE_; the William R. Ferris Collection, 1910s – 2003; the Mike Seeger Collection, 1955 – 2002; and the John Edwards Memorial Foundation Records, 1960 – 1988. Once digitized, the materials will be accessible online through the UNC library website, _URL_.

GINGER is an excellent motion sickness remedy for parrots that travel. A few slices of fresh ginger in the carrier can prevent regurgitation during car trips or airline flights in parrots prone to motion sickness.
HERB FLOWERS or the tiny flowering blooms of the following spices are edible and beneficial to the health of parrots: anise, basil, bee balm, chives, coriander (cilantro), dill, fennel, garlic, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme.
MILK THISTLE seeds contain silymarin, a flavonoid that is effective against liver disorders. Seeds are the most natural form of silymarin, but an alcohol-free extract can be used for specific treatments.
ROSE HIPS are a natural blood purifier and infection fighter. Although parrots manufacture their own vitamin C, the fruit of the rose benefits the immune system. There are many other flowers that can be given to parrots for specific treatment purposes and for enjoyment.As new parrot owners attempt to learn all the right things to do for their feathered companions, they sometimes are perplexed to discover that even the experts cannot agree on all aspects of bird care. By observing Mother Nature, much knowledge can be gained to provide optimal care and promote avian health and happiness.

BBC Buildings - Bush House
The iconic home of BBC World Service
Designed by Harvey Corbett, Bush House was built in 1923 with further wings added between 1928 and 1935. This quintessentially British building was actually commissioned, designed and originally owned by American individuals and companies. The building was originally constructed for an Anglo-American trading organisation headed by Irving T. Bush, after whom it is named.
It opened in July 1925, and later that decade was declared the 'most expensive building in the world, having cost around £2 million.
Bush House occupies a dramatic position at the bottom of Kingsway in central London, connected to the Strand on its southern façade. Its particularly impressive portico is flanked by two male statues symbolising Anglo-American friendship, sculpted by the American artist Malvina Hoffman. Over a Celtic altar at the centre of the portico is the inscription 'Dedicated to the friendship of English-speaking peoples'. The BBC's foreign language broadcasting service began in 1938 from Broadcasting House in Portland Place. After this building was bombed during the Second World War, the service was re-located to Bush House in 1941 – beginning with the European Service, then followed by the rest of the Overseas Service in 1958. This building in turn suffered bomb damage and the statue representing America lost its left arm. It was restored in 1977.
Over many years all the BBC's foreign language services gradually invaded Bush House, penetrating each wing in turn. It has broadcast to and from Bush House for almost 70 years – covering events that have changed and shaped the world, from De Gaulle's broadcasts to the Free French in the Second World War through Hungary's despearate call for help as Russian tanks rolled into Budapest to the genocide in Rwanda and war in Kosova.
However, the BBC has never owned Bush House. Its owners were variously the Church of Wales, the Post Office and now a Japanese-owned organisation, but for millions of overseas listeners it remains the building which most represents the BBC.

text: [en] Knowledge of soil moisture dynamics and its spatial variability is essential to improve our understanding of root water uptake and soil moisture redistribution at the local scale and the field scale. We investigated the potential and limitations of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to measure three-dimensional soil moisture changes and variability in a large, undisturbed, cropped soil column and examined the interactions between soil and root system. Our analysis sustained the value of ERT as a tool to monitor and quantify water contents and water content changes in the soil, as long as the root biomass does not influence the observed resistivity. This is shown using a global water mass balance and a local validation using time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes. The observed soil moisture variability was rather high compared to values reported in the literature for bare soil. The measured water depletion rate, being the result of combined effects of root water uptake and soil water redistribution, was compared with the evaporative demand and root length densities. We observed a gradual downward movement of the maximum water depletion rate combined with periods of redistribution when there was less transpiration. Finally, the maximum root length density was observed at −70 cm depth, pointing out that root architecture can strongly depend on soil characteristics and states.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract The existing inexact optimization methods based on interval-parameter linear programming can hardly address problems where coefficients in objective functions are subject to dual uncertainties. In this study, a superiority-inferiority-based inexact fuzzy two-stage mixed-integer linear programming (SI-IFTMILP) model was developed for supporting municipal solid waste management under uncertainty. The developed SI-IFTMILP approach is capable of tackling dual uncertainties presented as fuzzy boundary intervals (FuBIs) in not only constraints, but also objective functions. Uncertainties expressed as a combination of intervals and random variables could also be explicitly reflected. An algorithm with high computational efficiency was provided to solve SI-IFTMILP. SI-IFTMILP was then applied to a long-term waste management case to demonstrate its applicability. Useful interval solutions were obtained. SI-IFTMILP could help generate dynamic facility-expansion and waste-allocation plans, as well as provide corrective actions when anticipated waste management plans are violated. It could also greatly reduce system-violation risk and enhance system robustness through examining two sets of penalties resulting from variations in fuzziness and randomness. Moreover, four possible alternative models were formulated to solve the same problem; solutions from them were then compared with those from SI-IFTMILP. The results indicate that SI-IFTMILP could provide more reliable solutions than the alternatives. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

How to make xml nodes open and closed on the same line if they have no children?
I am working with a large XML file and want to cut it down a bit. I currently have many examples of something like this:

Is there any way I can use the System.Xml classes to rewrite it to write one line for each childless node)?

As you probably cannot change the way the XML is generated, you can load it in XDocument
and make the necessary changes. By default it will load with no spaces - this will overwrite this:
like this:
This is because he sees that he matters ""
. To get rid of this, you need to clear the contents of those that have an empty string as their value.
string xml = "..."
var document = XDocument.Parse(xml);
var emptyElements = document.Descendants()
 .Where(e =>!e.Nodes().Any());
foreach (var element in emptyElements)
xml = document.ToString();
The code looks odd (what nodes are we removing from an element without nodes?!), but it makes an internal margin content
where it was in this case ""
. The end result is this:

Japanese Fire-bellied Newt
Japanese fire-bellied newt has a red stomach; hence some call it red stomach newt. It is one of the endemic species of Japan. It lives in slow current water, swimming and tangling itself to water plants. Its breeding season is April to July. The tail of the male turns bluish purple. The male makes his tail form of "S" and shake it in front of the female when courting. The female lays each egg in folded water plants.
When fire-bellied newts hatch, its gills are on the outside. During this period, it lives underwater but as it learns to breathe with its lungs, it gradually comes up on land. Until it becomes an adult, it only lives on land.
Fire-bellied newts can be found all over Kagoshima. On AmamiOshima you can also find swordtail newts, a subspecies of fire-bellied newts.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 7,000 people of working age in Australia and were not surprised to find that those who were unemployed had poorer mental health overall than those with jobs.
However, the study authors also found that the mental health of people with badly paid, poorly supported or short-term jobs could be as bad as, or even worse, than that of those who were jobless.
People with the poorest quality jobs experienced the largest decline in mental health over time. The researchers found a direct association between the number of unfavorable working conditions and mental health, with each additional negative job aspect reducing a person's mental health score.
For unemployed people, the health benefits of finding a job depended on the quality of the job. Getting a high quality job after being unemployed boosted mental health by an average of 3 points, but getting a poor quality job led to a mental health decline of 5.6 points.
The authors concluded that very demanding jobs that give people little control over their work -- and that provide little support or financial reward -- are not good for health.
"Work-first policies are based on the notion that any job is better than none as work promotes economic as well as personal wellbeing, wrote the authors. "Psychosocial job quality is a pivotal factor that needs to be considered in the design and delivery of employment and welfare policy."
The study appears online in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Duty to Warn
Q: When is there a duty to warn another person of a client's stated intentions to inflict physical harm?
Because they were all modeled after the Tarasoff ruling, duty-to-warn laws are quite similar from state to state. Most duty-to-warn laws say that when the client communicates to a mental health professional the threat of bodily harm to an identifiable victim and has the ability, or is perceived to have the ability, to do the harm, the mental health professional must inform the victim, have the client admitted to a mental health facility-either voluntarily or involuntarily-or take some other action to discharge the duty to warn.
Gerald Corey, author of Issues and Ethics in the Helping Professions, created a set of guidelines called "Should We Act or Not?" that lists questions to ask yourself in this type of situation. He says that if you answer yes to two or more of them, you probably have a duty-to-warn obligation. While these questions aren't legal recommendations, they do provide good guidance. The questions include:
- Has the client expressed some specific intention to commit violence, as against transitory thoughts or expressions of feelings?
- Has the client identified the kind of action he or she intends?
- Does the client have the ability to carry out the action?
- Has the client identified an intended victim and/or plan of action?
- Is the client unable to understand what he or she is doing and incapable of exercising self-control? (History of prior violence would be a negative indication.)
- Is the client incapable of collaborating with the therapist in maintaining control of his or her behavior?
Q: How should you proceed when you conclude that there's a duty to warn?
Remind the client of your ethical and legal obligation to warn. Invite the client to participate in the process, if possible. Develop a plan with the client to surrender weapons, which are critical to being able to harm others. Inform your supervisor, attorney, law enforcement, local psychiatric hospital, and the intended victim, depending on what you can do in your state to discharge the duty. Keep careful records of all actions taken. Your records are your defense, and these are cases for which your documentation needs to be specific and detailed to show proof that you've done what you needed to do to discharge your duty. If you have a violent client in your office, there's no code or law mandating that you put yourself in danger to discharge your duty to warn. If you feel that you're going to be attacked or that you're in danger, you don't have to inform the client of your intended actions, and you shouldn't bring the client into the process.
Q: Is there a duty to warn with a client who threatens to blow away the next driver who cuts him off in traffic, when you know the person carries a loaded 9 mm under the car seat?
This is a case to sit down and talk to the client seriously about your obligations: "Hey, I have a duty-to-warn obligation here. You're scaring me, and I have legal obligations that I will honor." Let the client know that you don't want to be put in the position in which you're trying to make this judgment call, and try to convince the client to get the gun out of the car. If the client doesn't cooperate and remove the gun, and doesn't indicate that his/her statements are only expressions of frustration, I personally would begin duty-to-warn procedures. In my opinion, the presence of the gun contributes significantly to the seriousness of your duty.
Consulting is important in a situation like this. Call your professional organization and ask what they recommend. They may give you some clarity. And document, document, document.
Q: Is there a duty to warn when a client says that she's going to kill the woman her husband's having an affair with, and that she's narrowed it down to one of two people and plans to follow her husband to his "meeting" that night to find out who the woman is?
This is a clear-cut duty-to-warn case, and I wouldn't hesitate to tell the client that. There's an identified victim and threat of bodily harm. It doesn't matter that there are two choices, because the victim will be whoever shows up with the husband. So there's undoubtedly enough information to require breaking confidentiality and reporting.
Q: What are the ethical and legal duties around self-injurious behavior?Under our codes and laws, as long as a client isn't suicidal or doing harm that could end in death, we're generally not obligated to report self-injurious behavior. There's no code or law that mandates breaking confidentiality for self-injury; however, some mental health facilities and school systems may have policies that require reporting.
Don't assume that self-injury is a failed suicide; usually it's not. Research indicates that people often self-injure so their stress doesn't get so bad they consider suicide. Yet because many self-injurers have indicated suicidal thoughts and attempts, you should conduct a suicide assessment to assure and maintain competent clinical practice.

Some results on value distribution of the difference operator

2 Department of Mathematics, Shandon university, Jinan, Shandong 250100, China
In this article, we consider the uniqueness of the difference monomials $f^{n}(z)f(z+c)$. Suppose that $f(z)$ and $g(z)$ are transcendental meromorphic functions with finite order and $E_k(1, f^{n}(z)f(z+c))=E_k(1, g^{n}(z)g(z+c))$. Then we prove that if one of the following holds (i) $n \geq 14$ and $k\geq 3$, (ii) $n \geq 16$ and $k=2$, (iii) $n \geq 22$ and $k=1$, then $f(z)\equiv t_1g(z)$ or $f(z)g(z)=t_2,$
for some constants $t_1$ and $t_2$ that satisfy $t_1^{n+1}=1$
and $t_2^{n+1}=1$. We generalize some previous results of Qi et. al.

The liberties and duties of a supervisor that is scientific of thesis work
The instructor whom works in the graduating division or other faculty may lead their education research, if the relative mind regarding the division will not object to this. a manager handles guidance that is overall the execution and writing of the thesis.
The role associated with scientific supervisor within the research work regarding the pupil would be to contribute to student's creative search activity. Assistance from a manager is essential for the learning student to know the theoretical presumptions of the proposed study, to formulate the goal, tasks and hypotheses. A supervisor and a student analyze and correct the research at various stages of the work.
Duties of a manager
The duties associated with the supervisor include:
- 1) The scientific supervisor is obliged to familiarize himself with these provisions as well as in the program of thesis design he is directed because of the demands for a thesis operate in these methodological tips;
- 2) to issue tasks for a thesis work;
- 3) to recommend the dwelling of a thesis;
- 4) to develop a step-by-step plan of a thesis by having a student;
- 5) to inform the student concerning the purchase of specific consultations;
- 6) to suggest a listing of necessary literature;
- 7) to undertake clinical and guidance that is methodological of student's work and conduct qualified consultations;
- 8) to monitor the progress of the thesis work additionally the observance of this diploma design routine;
- 9) to tell the relative mind for the department about significant deviations through the graduation task;
- 10) to sign the working task diploma design and other papers needed for admission to your defense of the thesis;
- 11) to produce the department with a written post on a finished thesis, having previously familiarized the writer with all the work;
- 12) to test the finished work
- 13) to aid the student get ready for public defense.
The liberties of the supervisor
The legal rights of this supervisor that is scientific:
- 1) to choose the themes of thesis and students for composing them in accordance with one's clinical passions;
- 2) to refuse supervising, having presented the reasoned conclusion about this course of this thesis design, not later than 30 days ahead of the end associated with the term associated with the thesis work;
- 3) to look for the means of conducting specific consultations;
- 4) to require the pupil to investigate or calculate a few choices for re solving particular dilemmas;
- 5) to wait the commission meeting and read aloud the feedback to a thesis.
Difficulties on _URL_ paper the thesis work
The most challenging and responsible moment in the student's diploma scientific studies are the interpretation for the experimental data obtained together with formula for the main conclusions. Consequently, without depriving the student of self-reliance, the supervisor should help pupil to understand outcomes of the job, and put the accents that are necessary sum up the main outcomes of the thesis task.
The student should be aware that the writer of the thesis himself is responsible for the choices produced in the task and also for the correctness of all of the calculations, since thesis is primarily a separate work of the student. In this respect, guidelines of a supervisor ought not to rise above the restrictions. Therefore, the guidelines of the manager aren't considered mandatory for the graduate pupil, if they are perhaps not included to your assignment for the amount project, and students can defend the utilize his perspective.
The report on a manager can be an crucial component of a thesis
The supervisor's reaction to the thesis work is built in an arbitrary type. It provides a description associated with the ongoing work, which indicates:
- 1. Communication associated with content regarding the strive to the chosen topic and function;
- 2. Characteristic of this structural components of the task;
- 3. Scientific level, completeness and quality regarding the theme development;
- 4. Amount of independency, personal imagination, effort;
- 5. Capability to work with literature, make calculations, analyze, summarize, and work out clinical and conclusions that are practical
- 6. Systematic, literate presentation, capacity to design materials;
- 7. Practical significance, the chance of utilizing materials in management generally training.

The legs, church windows or tears of wine. Many a wine drinker and scientist have swirled the wine through their glass and watched this phenomenon with amazement. What causes the tears? And what do they say about the wine? For a long time, science has not been able to explain exactly how the tears come about, but surface tension, temperature, ridge instability and shock waves (!) seem to give the long-expected complete answer.
Wine is primarily a mixture of water and alcohol. In a wine glass, due to capillary action, the wine crawls up slightly at the side of the glass. The bend wine surface that is formed is called the meniscus (see figure below). The alcohol evaporates faster in the meniscus than in the rest of the glass. This is because the meniscus has a larger surface area in proportion to the volume underneath. As a result, the wine in the meniscus contains less alcohol and relatively much water compared to the wine in the rest of the glass. Water has a higher surface tension than alcohol and therefore "pulls" harder on the surrounding liquid. The gradient that arises from the high-alcohol wine in the glass to low-alcohol wine in the meniscus causes a difference in surface tension. The higher surface tension of the watery wine in the meniscus makes that more wine is pulled up from the glass, resulting in a film layer of wine on the side of the glass.
In 1865 the Italian physicist Carlo Marangoni described this effect in his thesis, and a few years later Josiah Willard Gibbs gave a theoretical thermodynamic description in several articles entitled "On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances". Since then, the formation of the film layer of wine on the side of a wine glass has been known as the Marangoni-Gibbs effect.
The formation of a wine film layer on the side of a wine glass due to the Marangoni-Gibbs effect. The evaporation of alcohol provides a gradient in the surface tension (λ), and a gradient in the temperature (T) of the film layer on the wall of the glass. The tears of the wine form under the influence of gravity on the ridge of the film layer.
Recent research shows that the Marangoni-Gibbs effect can not only be attributed to the evaporation of the alcohol and the difference in surface tension that arises. Venerus et al. showed in 2015 that the evaporation of the alcohol also causes the wine in the film layer to cool down. The importance of this temperature difference for the Marangoni effect has always been overlooked.
The resulting temperature gradient in the film layer causes the wine to "flow". Just like the warm Gulf Stream that brings warm sea water from the Gulf of Mexico to the northern part of the Atlantic. Similarly, the temperature gradient in the film layer ensures that wine flows up the side of the glass. As such, the temperature difference contributes to the Marangoni-Gibbs effect. The flow rate of the wine in the film layer is therefore dependent on the gradient in surface tension AND the temperature gradient, and both are caused by the evaporation of alcohol1.

This information further clarifies the Marangoni-Gibbs effect, and explains how it is that wine flows up against the side of the glass. But what makes the wine drip down again? Gravity? Yes, but that is a very simplistic representation of reality. How is it that wine specifically forms drops at regular intervals that as tears flow back into the glass?
The ridge, on top of the film layer, falls apart into tears under the influence of gravity. In a 2018 study, Nikolov and his colleagues show that the way in which the ridge of the film layer falls apart corresponds to the theory of the Plateau-Rayleigh-Taylor instability2. This is a mathematical description of the instability that occurs when a liquid with a light density pushes against a liquid with a higher density. In the case of our wine film layer, the film layer is the liquid with a light density that pushes against the wine that forms the ridge and has a higher density. At a certain point the downward pull of gravity on the heavy liquid (that is pulled down more than the light liquid) outweighs the upward force of the light liquid. The heavier liquid breaks through the barrier created by the upward flow of the light fluid and forms tears that stream into the glass. The ridge stability is therefore a balance between gravity and the upward pressure of the light liquid.
A simplistic representation of the Plateau-Rayleigh-Taylor instability on the basis of which the wine tears form according to Nikolov et al.. The ridge of the film layer (dark red) has a higher density than the film layer (light red) that under the influence of the Marangoni effect is formed and flows up.
However, the last question that remains is: what makes that the film layer has two different densities, creating a ridge that falls apart into tears?
The film layer is created by the Marangoni effect, and the tears are caused by the instability of the ridge of the film layer. But how is it possible that this ridge is created at the top of the film layer? According to Dukler et al. of the University of California, a shock wave through the film layer causes the formation of the ridge and the subsequent tears3. A "reverse undercompressive shockwave", that is. Dukler and his colleagues have developed a theoretical model that shows how this shock wave (in theory) arises from the evaporation of alcohol in the film layer and moves from the meniscus to the ridge of the film layer. A characteristic of this atypical shock wave is that the density of the liquid behind the wave is lower than before the wave. A situation thus arises that the ridge of the film layer has a higher density than the film layer below. And let this be THE starting point for the Plateau-Rayleigh-Taylor instability as described above.
"After removing the cover, [from a glass filled with port wine] evaporation quickly increases, inciting a "reverse" front to climb out of the meniscus, followed by the formation of wine tears falling back into the bulk. The forming front is characterized by a depression, i.e. the film ahead of the front is thicker than the film behind it. It is in a sense, a "dewetting" front that leaves a thinner layer behind it."[Dukler, 2019]
The researchers tested their theory by looking at the formation of tears in a stemless Martini glass with Port wine. The shock wave was perceptible (see the figure below) and preceded the tears of the wine. The researchers applied some simplifications for the model, but also for the experiment. For example, a martini glass is used because this glass has a constant angle, and the model assumes a constant gradient in the surface tension (caused by the evaporation of the alcohol). The effect in different wine glasses with a convex surface (and in particular the theory behind it) needs to be further investigated.
The ridge of the film layer and therefore also the tears of the wine are caused by a shock wave. The top four photos show from left to right how a wave front forms out of the meniscus and stabilizes in the tears of the wine after 10 seconds. In the lower left photo you can see a close-up of the shock waves that run to the ridge at the top of the film layer. The term "rarefaction" indicates the zone in which the density of the wine is lower than in the rim due to the shock wave. The figure below on the right shows the stemless Martini glass as used by Dukler et al. to test their theory.

What do the tears say?
As the theory above shows, the speed with which the alcohol evaporates is particularly important for the formation of tears. This evaporation depends on the amount of alcohol in the wine, but for example also on room temperature, wine temperature, humidity and air pressure. In general, the more alcohol the wine contains, the more tears there are. However, it is difficult to keep all these conditions constant, and in a mountain village, or on a rainy day, the formation of tears will proceed differently than on a beautiful sunny day at the beach.
The speed with which the tears flow back into the glass says something about the viscosity of the wine. The slower the tears drip down, the syrupier the wine. This syrupiness depends among other things on the amount of alcohol, sugar and glycerol in the wine. Alcohol, but especially glycerol and sugar, increase the viscosity.
Read now: Chardonnay arose through inbreeding!
All these different variables make it very difficult to conclude anything based on the tears of the wine about the contents of the wine glass. Provided that you do not only have the alcohol content as a criterion, then the tears of the wine say nothing at all about the quality of the wine.
The tears are the secondary effect of the evaporation of alcohol from the wine. With the evaporation of the alcohol, however, all kinds of aromas also evaporate. The wine derives its scent (bouquet) from the evaporation of these aroma substances. Knowledge about the formation of tears, and therefore the evaporation of alcohol in the wine glass, can contribute

Mystic — Yellow Pink has always been an inconsistent molter.
But last summer, when the 14-year-old male African penguin shed his waterproof feathers, they never grew back.
That's when penguin trainers at Mystic Aquarium began to worry that Yellow Pink would get cold in the 65-degree water of the exhibit where he and the other penguins swim.
So they fashioned him a 3 mm wet suit out of a piece of an old diving wet suit, with openings for his flippers and a Velcro closure. The suit now allows Yellow Pink to go in the water without getting chilled.
"He's done really well with it. It hasn't affected his swimming or movement," said assistant trainer Josh Davis Friday afternoon, as Yellow Pink stood still while Davis put his wings through the two holes and secured the Velcro closure. He then began to waddle around.
Yellow Pink — aquarium penguins are named after the identifying beads they wear — did not go swimming Friday, as all the aquarium's penguins are kept inside when the air temperature drops below 26 degrees. The penguins are native to the more temperate climate of South Africa, not Antarctica.
Yellow Pink is the first penguin at the aquarium to experiencee "premature feather loss," a rare condition that Davis said few other aquariums have experienced.
In 2007, a children's book called "Pierre the Penguin" was published about an African penguin at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco who had the same problem. He would not swim because of the cold and was shunned by his fellow penguins. When he began wearing a wet suit, he was accepted back into the group.
Davis said Yellow Pink will continue to wear his wet suit until he grows new feathers, though it is not clear when that will happen.
According to the aquarium, the penguins' dense coat of 70 feathers per square inch are coated with an oil they produce from a gland near the base of their tail.
Davis said that underneath the feathers, the penguins have a layer of gray downy feathers that keep them warm. In Yellow Pink's case, the gray feathers are now exposed and get wet.
"It's sort of like wearing a wet fleece," he said.
The wet suit, though, traps a thin layer of water against the penguin's body, which is then heated by the bird's body temperature.
Davis said the trainers know the wet suit is working because when they remove it from Yellow Pink, warm water runs off it.
He said that even though the wet suit makes Yellow Pink more buoyant, it has not affected his ability to swim and dive, which visitors to the exhibit can watch.

Extrusion is the process of creating three-dimensional geometry out of flat, two-dimensional shapes by drawing the 2-D shape along a path in 3-D space. The extrusion path may be a straight line or any kind of curve. If the path is linear, it may be normal to, or at any other angle to the extruded shape.
Extrusion may be used to both build a 3-D object to begin with, or to add additional geometry to an existing 3-D polygon mesh object. In the latter case, a polygon (or group of polygons) comprising part of the surface of the object are extruded. This extrusion can be either outward or inward on the 3-D object, creating positive or negative surface detail. Extrusion of polygons on 3-D objects is often associated with a beveling type of effect.

Tickit::Widget::Tabbed::Ribbon - base class for Tickit::Widget::Tabbed control ribbon
This class contains the default implementation for the control ribbon used by Tickit::Widget::Tabbed, and also acts as a base class to assist in the creation of a custom ribbon. Details of this class and its operation are useful to know when implenting a custom control ribbon.
It is not necessary to consider this class if simply using the Tickit::Widget::Tabbed with its default control ribbon.
To perform create a custom ribbon class, create a subclass of Tickit::Widget::Tabbed::Ribbon with a constructor having the following behaviour:
 package Custom::Ribbon::Class;
 use base qw( Tickit::Widget::Tabbed::Ribbon );
 sub new_for_orientation
 my $class = shift;
 my ( $orientation, %args ) = _USER_;
 return $self;
Alternatively if this is not done, then one of two subclasses will be used for the constructor, by appending ::horizontal or ::vertical to the class name. In this case, the custom class should provide these as well.
 package Custom::Ribbon::Class;
 package Custom::Ribbon::Class::horizontal;
 use base qw( Custom::Ribbon::Class );
 package Custom::Ribbon::Class::vertical;
Arrange for this class to be used by the tabbed widget either by passing its name as a constructor argument called ribbon_class, or by overriding a method called RIBBON_CLASS.
 my $tabbed = Tickit::Widget::Tabbed->new(
 ribbon_class => "Ribbon::Class::Name"
 use constant RIBBON_CLASS => "Ribbon::Class::Name";
_USER_ = $ribbon->tabs
$count = $ribbon->tabs
Returns a list of the contained Tickit::Widget::Tabbed tab objects in list context, or the count of them in scalar context.
$index = $ribbon->active_tab_index
Returns the index of the currently-active tab
$tab = $ribbon->active_tab
Returns the currently-active tab as a Tickit::Widget::Tabbed tab object.
The subclass will need to provide implementations of the following methods.
$ribbon->render( %args )
$lines = $ribbon->lines
$cols = $ribbon->cols
As per the Tickit::Widget methods.
$handled = $ribbon->on_key( $ev )
$handled = $ribbon->on_mouse( $ev )
As per the Tickit::Widget methods. Optional. If not supplied then the ribbon will not respond to keyboard or mouse events.
$ribbon->scroll_to_visible( $index )
Requests that a scrollable control ribbon scrolls itself so that the given $index tab is visible.

The boundary between Baetica and Noricum region on Lutetia
This image shows a portion of the surface of the main-belt asteroid (21) Lutetia. The image was obtained with the OSIRIS camera on ESA's Rosetta spacecraft as it flew past the asteroid on 10 July 2010.
By tracing craters and other features on Lutetia's surface, scientists have put together a geological map for the asteroid. Their studies have shown that Lutetia's surface comprises regions spanning a wide range of ages: each of them reveals a chapter in the long and tumultuous history of this asteroid.
The image shows the boundary between two of the regions that have been identified on the asteroid's surface in terms of their geological history. In particular, the image shows the abrupt transition between the young and smooth Baetica region, in the upper part of the image, and the much older and heavily cratered Noricum region, in the lower part of the image.

When should I use continuously as opposed to continually?
Continual means frequently recurring or intermittent. Continuous means occurring without interruption or unceasing. Continuous refers to actions which are uninterrupted: The upstairs neighbor played his stereo continuously from 6:00 PM to 3:30 AM. Continual actions, however, need not be uninterrupted, only repeated: My mother continually urges me to do my homework. / Rivers flow continuously, but the telephone is more likely to ring continually. A related mistake is to use continuous for something that happens at regular intervals. There are other adjectives that mean 'occurring repeatedly over a long period of time': "constant" (implying persistence, steadiness), "ceaseless" and "incessant" (referring to uninterrupted activity), "eternal" (lasting forever), "interminable" (seemingly endless, wearisome), "perennial" (going on year after year, with self-renewal), and "perpetual" (implying both duration and steadiness). So, try to remember to use -al for something which is either always going on or recurs at short intervals and never comes to an end, and -ous for something in which no break occurs between the beginning and the end.
