What is a Front Engine Mount and Why is it Important For Your Honda?
If you look around your engine compartment, you'll find four rubber mounts than attach the engine to the chassis. They keep your engine in place, and provide several other important benefits.
How Front Engine Mounts Drastically Improve Your Honda's Ride Quality
When you drive your car, you make a lot of turns and stops. Inertia comes into play a lot (which is why your body involuntarily lurches forward when the car stops or leans to the side when the car makes a turn). Since the engine is so large and heavy, it's not immune to inertia. That's why engine mounts exist.
The car chassis and engine both have brackets designed to hold engine mounts. The engine mounts are then sandwiched between the engine and chassis mounts when the car is assembled. Most engine mounts are made from a soft piece of rubber mated to a steel plate. The rubber absorbs vibration. Some mounts use hydraulic fluid to absorb vibration.
With a good set of OEM engine mounts on your car, your Honda's ride quality is pretty spectacular. More specifically, engine mounts:
 - Reduce noise and vibration
 - Provide smoother drivetrain "feel"
 - Reduce wheel hop on hard acceleration
What Happens When One of Your Front Engine Mounts Fails
While engine mounts don't require any regular maintenance, they will wear out over time. Since many Honda's run several hundred thousand miles or more, it's not uncommon for the engine mounts to wear out on these high mileage cars. Engine mounts start to sag when they wear out, and they lose strength. When one of your engine mounts fails you may run into some serious problems like:
 - Excess noise and vibration: The mounts are supposed to absorb vibration. When a mount fails, more vibration is transmitted to the chassis. You'll feel this and hear it while your driving.
 - Damaged components under the hood: The chassis isn't the only thing your heavy engine could break while shifting around under the hood. If it moves enough, it can bump into other components and possibly damage them.
 - Damaged radiator hoses: Radiator hoses are flexible, but they also are molded to a specific shape to fit between the engine and radiator. When an engine mount fails and sags, the radiators hoses get stretched out of shape. If this goes on long enough, they can tear and leak, causing your car to overheat.
So if you start to experience the symptoms of a bad engine mount, replace them as soon as possible. The good news is you can do it yourself at home.
How to Replace Your Front Engine Mounts at Home
This tutorial is based on 2006-2011 Honda Civics, but you should be able to follow the steps with any other Honda model.
The first thing you need to do is to buy OEM replacement motor mounts. We recommend replacing all four mounts at the same time to prevent further issues.
 - Part No. 50810-S2A-003: For 2000-2009 S2000 models
 - Part No. 50830-SZA-A02: For 2009-2015 Pilot models
 - Part No. 50830-T2F-A01: For 2013-2017 Accord models
 - Part No. 50830-SHJ-305: For 2005-2007 Odyssey models
 - Part No. 50830-TA0-A02: For 2011-2012 Accord and 2012-2015 Crosstour models
When you have your replacement mounts, take the following steps to replace the old ones in your Honda:
 - Support your engine by placing a floor jack and a piece of wood under your oil pan and applying light tension to it.
 - Find the three bolts holding the upper torque rod in place. Unscrew all of them with a 17mm socket. Be careful not to break the A/C line.
 - Gently pull out the upper torque rod.
 - Remove the bolts underneath holding the brace between the engine and one of the engine mounts in place. Apply some rust penetrant if needed. The engine will drop a little bit. Make sure the floor jack is firmly holding the engine up.
 - Locate the bolts on each side of the engine mount. Unscrew these bolts.
 - Remove the engine mount. It should slide out of there, but you may need to wriggle it around a bit to get it out.
 - Install the new engine mount in the reverse order.
 - Repeat with the other engine mounts.

Steel Cost Modelling Notes
The Steel Costing Model
The cost model shown above is prepared only to shown how liquid steel cost can be calculated through a simple cost benchmarking type approach. The predicted total costing shown is not meant to represent an actual cost for any real steel company. It is a notional figure only - albeit one that is built on fairly representative current input costing information.Input Costs
Key input costs are taken from the other pages shown on the steelonthenet.com website or estimated by our economists. Recent iron ore and coal prices can be found on our steelmaking costs page. Readers should note that the cost of carbon credits in Japan is well below that in developed countries. For discussion, see Reuters report. Analysis above was prepared in May 2023.The Steel Product
The steel product for which the cost is shown above is a metric tonne of BOF liquid steel. The cost is for a notional producer - a typical size integrated BOF plant, 3m t/yr, at a Japanese coastal site with its own coke and sinter plant, using imported ore and coal purchased at international prices with third party transport. The blast furnace is assumed to have PCI. The steel plant is assumed to make commodity grade carbon steel for flat products with average labour productivity. To prepare cost benchmarks for different locations or for specific producers please contact us (see below). Steel costs for the electric furnace steelmaking process route (EAF steelmaking) may be found on our EAF steelmaking costs page.The Business Environment
Site visitors are advised that all estimates shown should be adjusted to reflect the particular business environment in which the steel plant operates. Thus, electricity charges may be substantially cheaper than usual because the melt shop is run primarily at night (to benefit from cheaper night time tarrifs). Depreciation costs may be higher or lower depending on the age of the electric furnace and transformer. Labour productivity may also be substantially poorer than shown (especially in State owned plants prior to privatisation) etc.Accounting Methods
Actual costing estimates may also differ because of local accounting policies and practices. The figures above for example assume straight line depreciation over a 20 year asset lifetime. The estimates also assume that 25% of labour cost are fixed - whilst in practice, all costs will be variable over the longer term. The model above endeavours to present the economic data on the basis of standard management accounting practices - users of the model should however be clear that the model is likely to require adaptation for different accounting circumstances.
To estimate the impact of a change in any main input (iron ore, coal, coke, other steel raw materials, energy, or labour) on the total, fixed or variable production costs of any steel product (semi-finished; or flat, long, or pipe and tube finished steel products) made through either main production process route (integrated steel manufacturing or electric arc steelmaking), please email economists for assistance.
For earlier data, see 2022 BOF cost model.
Thinking about business restructuring? Are you perhaps on the road to privatisation? We have a lot of experience in metal business turnaround and would be pleased to assist you. Please contact us for a no-obligation discussion.

Pakistan's Daily Times has the scoop on China's newest museum;
China is building a giant underwater museum to preserve and exhibit an ancient shipwreck. The museum, the first of its kind in the world, is to contain a sunken ship more than 800 years old and its treasures.
Archaeologists say the ship is China's most exciting underwater excavation. Named the Southern Sea Number One, it lies under 24 metres of water and two metres of sand and soil.
Archaeologists took more than 6,000 treasures from one small room on the ship in 2002. The Guangdong provincial government has now allocated £10 million to building a five hall underwater museum to preserve the wreck.
Expert's say, "Since the ship and its treasures have become accustomed to being underwater, it's better to keep them there." Read More…

Many support organizations have started to align their support model with Knowledge Centered Support (KCS) as their methodology for working effectively with knowledge. In this article we reply to the most commonly asked questions related to the adoption of KCS.
New challenges for the service desk
The service desk is responsible for more tasks than ever before. Service desk analysts are expected to understand much more than in the past, deliver better service more quickly, and at a lower cost. It is very challenging to keep up with the demand for new knowledge, and there is a great need to structure and reuse an organization's existing knowledge.
Most support organizations are familiar with KCS and how it meets many of the above mentioned challenges. During the Fusion Conference we received many important questions about adopting KCS as a methodology, and below are our suggestions:
1. How do we get the most use out of our existing knowledge base?
Search the knowledge base every time the service desk receives a request. Create relevant articles immediately by improving the content, adding meta data, and linking solutions to the related articles. This process will help the database become relevant and updated.
2. How do we find the time to create knowledge articles initially when working with a self-service solution?
Use a pre-populated knowledge base solution that contains knowledge articles for standard office applications and popular software programs. We strongly believe that an intuitive and easy-to-use knowledge tool will encourage the creation and improvement of knowledge articles by the IT support organization.
3. How do we get the agents to support the idea of creating content as part of the problem solving process?
Encourage the most enthusiastic support agents to work according to KCS principles and they will quickly discover the advantages of creating articles based on demand and usage. With the adoption of KCS principles the service desk agents will no longer waste their time creating articles that no one uses.
4. How does incident management and Knowledge Management integrate?
Some knowledge management solutions integrate seamlessly with incident management systems and ITSM tools. With a strong integration, knowledge articles are made available to the users via the incident management system. Ideally when an end user begins to type their issue into the description field suggested knowledge articles will appear. The end user now has the ability to resolve their issue before they need to create a service request.
If you have any questions on the adoption of KCS, don't hesitate to contact our Knowledge Specialist.

Racial Disparities in Cholecystectomy Rates During Hospitalizations for Acute Gallstone Pancreatitis: A National Survey
Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The American Journal of Gastroenterology (Impact Factor: 10.76). 09/2008; 103(9):2301-7. DOI: 10.1111/j._PHONE_.2008.01949.x
Source: PubMed
ABSTRACT Practice guidelines advocate performing cholecystectomy for acute gallstone pancreatitis during the same hospitalization stay. Our objectives were to determine nationwide rates of adherence to these guidelines in the United States and whether this varied with race and ethnicity.
We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) to identify admissions for acute gallstone pancreatitis between 1998 and 2003. We calculated overall and race-specific proportions of patients who underwent cholecystectomy or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) prior to discharge. We used multivariate analysis to determine racial effects while adjusting for age, comorbidity, health insurance payer, and hospital factors.
The overall rate of cholecystectomy was 51% and that of either cholecystectomy or ERCP was 62%. Cholecystectomy rates were lower among African Americans (AAs) and Asians compared to Whites (44% and 43%, respectively, vs 50%, P < 0.001). After multivariate adjustment, the odds of cholecystectomy was lower in AAs (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.63-0.73) and Asians/Pacific Islanders (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.65-0.87) relative to Whites, while rates were modestly higher among Hispanics (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.03-1.22). AAs were less likely to receive ERCP than Whites (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.65-0.78). In contrast, Asians/Pacific Islanders (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.16-1.69) and Hispanics (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.09-1.29) were more likely to receive ERCP than Whites.
Despite practice guidelines, about only half of admissions for gallstone pancreatitis receive cholecystectomy during the same hospitalization, and cholecystectomy rates vary substantially by race. These findings raise concerns regarding suboptimal healthcare delivery.

While prior works on enclosure approach, guarantees the space utilization of a single geometrical area, mostly rectangle, this paper proposes a flexible enclosure tree layout method for partitioning various polygonal shapes that break through the limitation of rectangular constraint. Similar to Treemap techniques, it uses enclosure to divide display space into smaller areas for its sub-hierarchies. The algorithm can partition a polygonal shape or even an arbitrary shape into smaller polygons, rotated rectangles or vertical-horizontal rectangles. The proposed method and implementation algorithms provide an effective interactive visualization tool for partitioning large hierarchical structures within a confined display area with different shapes for real-time applications. We demonstrated the effective of the new method with a case study, an automated evaluation and a usability study. © 2013 ACM.

Inspect population shares of classes
If you are interested in the population-shares of the classes, you can get them like this:
[1] 27.92 40.13 31.95
or you inspect the estimated class memberships:
 1 2 3
158 234 185
 1 2 3
27.38 40.55 32.06
Ordering of latent classes
Latent classes are unordered, so which latent class becomes number one, two, three... is arbitrary. The latent classes are supposed to be nominal, so there is no reason for one class to be the first. You can order the latent classes if you must. There is a function for manually reordering the latent classes: poLCA.reorder()
First, you run a LCA-model, extract the starting values and run the model again, but this time with a manually set order.
_TAG_ starting values from our previous best model (with 3 classes)
_TAG_-run the model, this time with "graphs=TRUE"
lc<-poLCA(f, mydata, nclass=3, probs.start=probs.start,graphs=TRUE, na.rm=TRUE, maxiter=3000)
# If you don't like the order, reorder them (here: Class 1 stays 1, Class 3 becomes 2, Class 2 becomes 1)
new.probs.start<-poLCA.reorder(probs.start, c(1,3,2))
_TAG_ polca with adjusted ordering
lc<-poLCA(f, mydata, nclass=3, probs.start=new.probs.start,graphs=TRUE, na.rm=TRUE)
Now you have reordered your classes. You could save these starting values, if you want to recreate the model anytime.
This is the poLCA-standard Plot for conditional probabilites, which you get if you add "graph=TRUE" to the poLCA-call.
It's in a 3D-style which is not really my taste. I found some code at dsparks on github or this Blog, that makes very appealing ggplot2-plots and did some little adjustments.
lcmodel <- reshape2::melt(lc$probs, level=2)
zp1 <- ggplot(lcmodel,aes(x = L1, y = value, fill = Var2))
zp1 <- zp1 + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "stack")
zp1 <- zp1 + facet_grid(Var1 ~.)

zp2 <- zp2 + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "stack")
zp2 <- zp2 + facet_wrap(~ L1)

Work calendar
The fields "Time in status", "Timer" and "Stopwatch", as well as JQL functions are able to count the time according to working calendars. Calendars take into account working hours and user time zone. That allows you to coordinate the time between users from different regions.
For example, the timers and stopwatches will display the dates of the continuation of work, taking into account the user's working calendar and timezone.
 1. Open application "Stopwatch field":
 - Open from "Manage your app":
 - Or from "Apps" menu::
 2. Open "Calendars" and click "Create":
 3. Enter the data in the calendar settings fields.
 1. You can specify an arbitrary time. Set in time field "21:35" (example). Click on time field and start typing "time" as "7:00" or "19:30".
 2. then click "Create"
 4. Time zones - Calendar time calculations occur in the specified time zone. However, displays take into account the user's time zone.
 5. If the data are not correct, an error will appear when saving.
 6. Adding Breaks. To add breaks during working hours, do the following.
 1. Create a break at "Add break time intervals". Set start and end times and click "Add".
 2. When there are breaks in the calendar for selection, then the working day has a field for selecting breaks.
 3. Then you can set default calendar breaks. The default break time can be selected in the working day.
 4. Set up work breaks for work days. Choose a default break or set one or more time intervals. Intervals must not overlap.
 7. Start date time - All calculations will be carried out from this date. The time before this date is considered non-working. For example: project start date.

text: Performing in musical ensembles can be viewed as a dual task that requires simultaneous attention to a high priority �target� auditory pattern (e.g., a performer�s own part) and either (a) another part in the ensemble or (b) the aggregate texture that results when all parts are integrated. The current study tested the hypothesis that metric frameworks (rhythmic schemas) promote the efficient allocation of attentional resources in such multipart musical contexts. Experiment 1 employed a recognition memory paradigm to investigate the effects of attending to metrical versus nonmetrical target patterns upon the perception of aggregate patterns in which they were embedded. Experiment 2 required metrical and nonmetrical target patterns to be reproduced while memorizing different, concurrently presented metrical patterns that were also subsequently reproduced. Both experiments included conditions in which the different patterns within the multipart structure were matched or mismatched in terms of best-fitting meter. Results indicate that dual-task performance was best in matched-metrical conditions, intermediate in mismatched-metrical conditions, and worst in nonmetrical conditions. This suggests that metric frameworks may facilitate complex musical interactions by enabling efficient allocation of attentional resources.

There is a close correlation between culture and economy, and economic development of any region is inseparable from cultural factors. Qi-Lu culture, as one of the traditional Chinese cultures, exerts a profound impact on economic development of Shandong. This paper analyzes the similarities and differences between Qi culture and Lu culture, and takes economic development of Jining and Zibo as examples to investigate the characteristics of regional economic development in Shandong Province under the impact of the two cultures. Regional economic development is inseparable from driving force of culture. Traditional culture not only needs to be promoted, but moreover, reformed and innovated. Only in this way can we promote the construction of Shangdong as a strong economic and cultural powerhouse. Culture means a tradition. It is under combined action of factors like a region's unique geographical environment, natural conditions, customs, humanities, history, politics that the region's unique culture is formed[1]. Economy is formed on certain cultural basis. The development of regional economy is inseparable from the driving force of regional culture. In turn, the economy acts on the inheritance and development of culture[2]. The integrated development of culture and economy can not only provide a source of power for economic development, but also carry forward the promotion and prosperity of culture.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction: A Comparative Study of Public and Private Primary School Teachers
Keywords:Job satisfaction, Intrinsic and extrinsic factors, Private school, Public school, Primary teachers
There are several intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect the level of job satisfaction of school teachers. This study aimed to comparatively identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors of job satisfaction among public and private primary school teachers in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan. This cross-sectional study was conducted using the quantitative method, in which all public and private primary school teachers in Multan made up the total population of the study. Out of the total population size of 6330, a sample of 400 teachers was drawn through proportionate sampling techniques. A representative proportion of the sample was taken in accordance with the size of the population of each stratum, i.e., public and private, male and female. With respect to the category of school, 144 respondents were taken from private schools, and the rest (256) from public primary schools. Out of 400 respondents, 205 were female and 195 were male. Primary data was collected using a self-developed questionnaire that was built on a 5-point Likert scale with a total of 12 scales with 64 items. The overall study hypothesized that intrinsic factors such as respect, recognition, job quality, and personal growth (M = 3.04, SD = 1.0541) and extrinsic factors such as pay, promotion, management, coworkers' behavior, training, and job security (M = 3.03, SD = 1.0437) were equally influential on teachers' job satisfaction. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the level of job satisfaction between public and private school teachers (p =.001 <.05), indicating that private teachers were less satisfied with their jobs compared to public teachers.

Technically speaking, every country has a capital. The most likely country that could be referred to as having no capital is Vatican City (in the centre of Rome, Italy) because the whole country (0.44 sqkm) is it's own city. Nauru also has no capital because it lacks any sizable population. However, most its leadership governs from the Yaren District.
Some other countries that have the same capital name as the country are:

Beaded Pad Saddle
Materials: moose hide, fabric, glass beads, thread, yarn, and unknown stuffing
This beaded pad saddle comes from the Cree Nation of the northern Great Plains region in the United States. The Cree are one of the major Algonquian-speaking North American tribes and reside mainly west of Lake Superior as well as in Canada. There are eight groups of Cree, including the Attikamekw, Swampy Cree, Montagnais, and Plains Cree. This saddle is specifically from the Plains Cree tribe and was made around the year 1880 A.D.
This piece displays the influence of Europeans in multiple ways. After the arrival of Europeans, glass seed beads and horses, among other things, were traded to the natives. The Cree are known for their artistic beadwork and such work is displayed proudly on our saddle. Each corner and adjoining rectangular tab is adorned with varying floral designs, all created with tiny glass seed beads. Multiple yarn tassels are also attached to each corner. These decorative elements are strategically placed so that they remain visible while the rider is seated on the saddle. Note the center tabs where a rope would have been threaded through holes in order to hold the saddle onto a horse. The Plains Cree were a nomadic people and horses proved to be very helpful in traveling and hunting.

Marble Chips and Acids
Date: Around 1999
I would be ecstatic if you have, or know of any site
that does, an investigation on the reaction between hydrochloric acid and
marble chips. (I am investigating how the concentration of acid affects
It is for my GCSE coursework, and as i have missed the last 2/3 months of
school; due to serious health problems, i am desperately stuggling.
I would really appreciate it if you could help in all areas (plan,
conclusion and analysis etc.). If anyone has handed in or re-written a
GCSE investigation to do with this experiment, i would be SO grateful if
you would email me with either a web page or details.
Newton isn't in the business of doing people's schoolwork for them. We're
here to help them learn, which isn't the same thing.
You have chosen a somewhat difficult system to investigate, as it involves
two different phases (solid marble chips and liquid HCl in solution). The
progress of the reaction will depend on many variables other than the
concentration of the HCl. Two that are especially prominent because of the
two-phase nature are: 1. The ratio of surface area of the chips to the mass
of the chips. Smaller chips or chips of irregular shape will have
proportionately more surface area than large or blocky chips. 2. The
mixing between the two phases. As the reaction proceeds, HCl near the chips
will be depleted, and the concentration there will be less than the average
concentration throughout the reaction mixture. This could really throw off
your investigation. To minimize problem 1, you will need to use similar
marble chips for each experiment. They should be the same size and general
shape from run to run to give you interpretable results. For your analysis,
it may be a good idea to estimate the surface area (in, say, square
centimeters per gram) of the chips. This number may change as the reaction
proceeds, so you may also want to determine the area as a function of time
or extent of reaction as well. To minimize problem 2, you will need to keep
the reaction mixture well-mixed throughout the course of the reaction.
Before I go further, I should establish exactly what reaction is occurring.
CaCO3(s) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> Ca++(aq) + HCO3-(aq) + Cl-(aq)
HCO3-(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> H2CO3(aq) + Cl-(aq)
H2CO3(aq) --> H2O + CO2(g)
Add these all together to get
CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) --> Ca++(aq) + H2O + CO2(g)
Depending on what the rate-determining step of this reaction is, the
kinetics should be either first or second order in acid.
There are several ways that you can follow the reaction, and it may be a
good idea to try more than one of them. As the reaction proceeds, solid
marble (CaCO3) disappears, acid (H+) is consumed, and carbon dioxide gas
(CO2) is produced. You could measure these by:
CaCO3: Stop the reaction after some period of time by filtering out and
washing the marble, and weigh it.
acid: Measure the pH of the reaction as it proceeds (requires a pH meter,
which is expensive), or fish out the marble and titrate the remaining acid.
CO2: Trap the gas evolved into an inverted graduated cylinder or a balloon,
and measure its volume. You could also trap it onto a chemical adsorbent,
such as Ascarite of soda lime, and weigh the charged sorbent. (Both
measurements would need to be corrected for water vapor in the collected

The do's and don'ts of swim training with a watch.
How can you tell the difference between swimmers and triathletes at the pool?
Look at their wrists. Recent technological advances have made it possible to track your swim data via GPS watch—which means a lot of gear-loving triathletes have started tracking yardage on their wrists. These mini computers can calculate almost everything during your daily activities and training sessions. But can using a data watch make you a better swimmer?
Popular reasons for using a data watch:
- Record laps
- Count strokes
- Keep track of intervals
- Calculate yardage
- Determine pace
- Calculate strokes per lap
- Provide a remote coach with your data
- Compare past performances
Although the reasons for using a data watch are compelling, success in the water is driven by technique and an indefinable "feel for the water." An increase in speed comes from either a reduction in resistance or an increase in forward propulsion. Every swim practice should be as much about improving technique as it is about completing the total yardage or holding a specific pace.
If the watch is responsible for counting the yardage and computing pace, then it has provided an opportunity for improvement by allowing the user to focus on technique and improve their feel of the water. However, if that freedom is spent pushing buttons and looking at data screens, then the opportunity is lost. Don't let the watch distract your attention from body position, stroke technique, breathing, kick and effort level. These are the fundamentals that create faster swimming, none of which are being measured on a watch.
It is not uncommon for an athlete and a coach to live and train on opposite sides of the country. In this scenario, the coach relies heavily on data from the athlete's training sessions to generate future workouts. A data watch will provide the numbers that are important to track and report progress in the pool, especially during time trials or test sets where intervals and paces are created. For the lucky athletes that get to train under the watchful eye of a swim coach at practice, skip the watch and work on applying the stroke improvements provided from the deck.
Open water is primarily where I'm sold on the benefits of a data watch. It can record distance and other helpful data to be reviewed post-swim. A GPS-enabled watch can provide invaluable information regarding how straight you swam between buoys. Other benefits include providing intervals when there is no pace clock and calculating average pace over a long-distance swim.
Just like any other training tool, there are good and bad times to use it in training. Usage must be regulated so you utilize it enough to receive a benefit from the recorded data but not too much that it becomes a crutch or impedes smart training. Here are some examples of when to wear and when not to wear a data watch around water:
When to wear it:
During test sets or time trials
When you are swimming solo
In the open water
During your race
When NOT to wear it:
When a coach is on deck
For easy or recovery swim sessions
During a clinic or technique session

Play a sound when pressing Caps Lock (Windows 10) *
Have you ever hit the Caps Lock button on your keyboard without realising? If so, and you are a "hunt-and-peck" typist and look at your keyboard rather than your screen when you type, you must have torn your hair out.
OK, you can use the Change Case button in Word, Outlook and PowerPoint (or press SHIFT + F3 to toggle between UPPER CASE, lower case and Sentence Case) but why not set an "alarm" to notify you when you - accidentally - hit Caps Lock.
Here's how:
 1. Press the WIN key (the one with the Windows logo) and type caps.
 2. Make sure Play a sound when pressing Caps lock, Num Lock or Scroll lock is selected and press ENTER.
 3. Click on the button under Use Toggle Keys.
In future, whenever you press Caps Lock, Num Lock or Scroll Lock, a sound will be played.

I know the result that says "There is a bijection between distribution functions and characteristic functions".
So I was wondering if there are necessary or sufficient conditions on the characteristic functions so that it is a char. function of a valid random variable. I need conditions that are easy to verify.
For instance, is $\varphi_{X_1,X_2}(x_1,x_2) = (1 + |x_1 x_2| e^{-\frac{(x_1^2 + x_2^2)}2 \sigma^2} )$ a valid characteristic function?
Thank you.

Bochner's theorem characterizes if a characteristic function corresponds to the random variable, but it's not an easy criterion.
It says that for all $x_1, \ldots, x_m \in \mathbb{R}^2$ and $c_1,\ldots,c_m \in \mathbb{C}$ the characteristic function $\phi$ should verify $$ \sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{j=1}^m \bar{c}_i c_j \phi(x_i - x_j) \ge 0 $$
For the characteristic function in question, choose $m=2$, and $c_1 = -1$, $c_2=1$, and $x_1 = \{1, \frac{1}{2}\}$ and $x_2 = \{ \frac{1}{2}, 1 \}$. Then the resulting sum is $-\frac{1}{2} \exp(-\frac{\sigma^2}{4} )$.
Here is Mathematica code:
In[210]:= \[Phi][{w1_, w2_}] :=
 1 + Abs[w1*w2]*Exp[(-(w1^2 + w2^2)/2)*sigma^2]
In[211]:= With[{cvec = {-1, 1}, xvec = {{1, 1/2}, {1/2, 1}}},
 Conjugate[cvec]. Outer[\[Phi][#1 - #2] &, xvec, xvec, 1]. cvec]]
Out[211]= -(1/2)/E^(sigma^2/4)

|Title||Realization of a super waveguide for high-power-density generation and transmission using rightand left-handed transmission-line circuits|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2007|
|Authors||Y..H. Yao, T..J. Cui, Q.. Cheng, R..P. Liu, D. Huang, D.R. Smith|
|Journal||Physical Review E|
In an earlier work [Cheng and Cui, Phys. Rev. B 72, 113112 (2005)], we have shown theoretically that extremely high power densities can be generated and transmitted in a super waveguide which is filled with homogeneous bilayers of rightand left-handed materials. In this paper, we realize such a super waveguide using right-handed transmission-line (RHTL) and left-handed transmission-line (LHTL) circuits. After a rigorous design of the RHTL-LHTL structure, we observe the generation and transmission of high-power densities in the super circuit waveguide from accurate simulation results. Both lossless and lossy cases have been studied for the LHTL circuit. From the simulation results and the rigorous analysis of energy speeds, we show that high-power flows with opposite directions are excited in the RHTL and LHTL parts of the super waveguide, which form the energy vortices in the waveguide cross section.

Introduction: This research article presents the results of the application of 62 indicators of transparency and access to public information to two Ecuadorian television corporations. Methods: The study uses a purpose-created panel of indicators divided into five blocks, following the method developed by the Infoparticipa project, for the analysis of the websites of Ecuavisa and TC Televisión. The results of the evaluation of the level of transparency of these corporations is available in the Infometro section of the online platform _URL_. Results: The selected media companies are not very transparent: the lowest scores were obtained in the identification of senior executives and the management of collective resources, while the highest scores were obtained in the area of information for participation. Discussion and conclusions: These types of organisations do not comply with the indicators of access to public information and transparency, despite having a broad regulatory development. These corporations do not disclose basic data and the information they do publish is often unclear, insufficient and inaccessible.

Alabama DUI Look Back Period
Question: What Is a Look Back Period? What Is the Look Back Period for a DUI in Alabama?
Answer: In DUI jurisprudence, the look back period is the term used in how far back a sentencing court can look at a person's record to determine the number of prior DUI convictions they have to then be used to increase the person's sentence if they're convicted or plead guilty. In Alabama, the current law as of July 2018 says that a court can look back ten (10) years for mandatory sentence enhancement; however, a sentencing court can look at a person's entire lifetime record from a discretionary standpoint. In terms of the look back period, you go by the date of conviction not by the date of arrest to determine the number of convictions within the look back period. → Right-click here to download the audio for this question.

Blossom Project
I'm working on the blossom project under computer science, I noticed that under the LinkedList class which has a iter method that uses the (get_value()) method created in the Node class.
However when instantiating a LinkedList, there's no such variable that is created using the Node class. Like at all.
So how can Node.get_value() be used to iterate the LinkedList instances?
class Node:
 def __init__(self, value):
 self.value = value
 self.next_node = None
 def get_value(self):
 return self.value
 def get_next_node(self):
 return self.next_node
 def set_next_node(self, next_node):
 self.next_node = next_node
class LinkedList:
 def __init__(self, head_node=None):
 self.head_node = head_node
 def insert(self, new_node):
 current_node = self.head_node
 if not current_node:
 self.head_node = new_node
 next_node = current_node.get_next_node()
 if not next_node:
 current_node = next_node
 def __iter__(self):
 current_node = self.head_node
 yield current_node.get_value()
 current_node = current_node.get_next_node()
Also, why does the iter method not have next method to go with it too?
When you instantiate a LinkedList here, you can specify its head_node or leave it to its default of None. When you specify its head_node, that will be of class Node, so it already has all the methods of the Node class.
The dunder method __iter__ just serves to explicitly deal with how the iteration should work out when a LinkedList object is iterated.
For reference, here's a video on iterators:

Thanks for the reply
Yeah I see where you're coming from with the head_node, but nowhere in the constructor does it make the head_node an instance of a Node.
And I've seen that video, it's got a next dunder too, so why doesn't this one have it also?
The constructor doesn't have to make it an instance of Node. That's up to the user.
Example from the terminal:
>>> new_node = Node(5)
>>> new_node
<__main__.Node object at 0x7fca61327350>
>>> new_node.value
>>> new_linked_list = LinkedList(new_node)
>>> new_linked_list.head_node.value
>>> type(new_linked.head_node)
As to why they omit or include something in a video, I can't speak to the video and its reasons. For basic functionality though, the code you quoted should do the job.

I previously asked this question in the maths community not realising that this stack exchange community existed. I have searched online extensively and haven't been able to find an explanation to how this works and would really appreciate some input.
I'm studying this signals and systems text book and I can't figure out the logic behind how $u(t)$ and $r(t)$ can be added together to form some signals.
$$ u(t) \triangleq \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if }t<0 \\ 1, & \text{if }t\ge0 \end{cases} $$
$$ $$
$$ \begin{align} r(t) & \triangleq \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if }t<0 \\ t, & \text{if }t\ge0 \end{cases} \\ & = t \ u(t) \\ \end{align}$$
$$ $$
Basically, an example in the book gives this signal:
signal example
So the book says that it can be described by this equation: $$ x(t) = u(t)-r(t-1)+2r(t-2)-r(t-3)+u(t-4)-2u(t-5) $$
It states that the sum of the ramps $-r(t-1)+2r(t-2)$ goes upward with the slope equal to one starting at $t=2$. I can't understand how this works geometrically and haven't been able to find anything that has helped. Does anyone know how this type of modelling is done?
I'm not sure I understand the delta-equals notation, but I'll assume it means definition.
It's important to understand that you're doing a variable substitution here. In the strictest sense, the $t$ in $u(t-1)$ is not the same $t$ as in $u(t)$. It may be easier for you to understand if you write your definitions as functions of $z$ instead of $t$:
$$ u(z) \triangleq \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if }z<0 \\ 1, & \text{if }z\ge0 \end{cases} $$
$$ \begin{align} r(z) & \triangleq \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if }z<0 \\ z, & \text{if }z\ge0 \end{cases} \\ & = z \ u(z) \\ \end{align}$$
So, $z=t$ in $u(t)$ and $z=t-1$ in $r(t-1)$, etc. You're changing a function of $z$ into a function of $t$.
The two functions you're dealing with have a breakpoint in them where the function changes behavior. In both cases it happens when $z=0$. So, looking at $u(z)$ for example, $u(z)=0$ for all values of $z$ less than zero and $u(z)=1$ for $z=0$ and all values greater than zero-- just saying what the function says, but in words.
When I use $u(t)$, I am substituting $z=t$ so $u(t)=0$ for all times before $t=0$, and $u(t)=1$ from time $t=0$ onward.
Now think about what's happening in the function argument with all the $(t-1)$, $(t-2)$ values... If you were to look at $u(t-4)$, then, it has the effect of shifting the entire function to the right in time. In this case: $$ u(t-4) = \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if }t-4<0 \\ 1, & \text{if }t-4\ge0 \end{cases} $$ or, rearranging the conditions a bit: $$ u(t-4) = \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if }t<4 \\ 1, & \text{if }t\ge4 \end{cases} $$ so you have a step function that is zero for all times before $t=4$, and one for times $t=4$ onward.
With the $r(z)$ function, with $z=t-2$ you substitute for $z$ in all places, so you have: $$ \begin{align} r(t-2) & = \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if }t<2 \\ t-2, & \text{if }t\ge 2 \end{cases} \\ & = (t-2) \cdot u(t-2) \\ \end{align}$$ which is zero for all times before $t=2$ and then a line starting at $(t=2,x(t)=0)$ with a slope of positive 1 and a y-intercept of -2.
The coefficients have the effect of changing the slope and corresponding y-intercept but the t-intercept remains the same. $2\cdot r(t-2)$ has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -4 but still crosses the $t$ axis at $t=2$.
The x(t) function is a linear combination of such functions, so you must add up the values at each point. The easiest way to see this on graph paper would be to draw each term separately one above the other and then add them vertically.
With the two components you you've highlighted, $−r(t−1)+2\cdot r(t−2)$: There is a slope of zero before $t=1$ because $u(t)$ is zero slope. The first term starts a ramp of slope of -1 starting at $t=1$ and the second term adds to that a ramp of slope +2 starting at $t=2$. Where those two terms overlap (everywhere from $t=2$ and to the right) the combined slope of those terms is +1.
 - $\begingroup$ Yeah the delta equals does mean that. After reading your answer I drew them all vertically and saw that by performing arithmetic to get the resulting values of the signal at each point results in the signal shown.The only thing that is still confusing for me is how the final two terms in the equation u(t-4) & -2u(t-5) produce that value of two between 4 & 5 but zero elsewhere? $\endgroup$ – burton01 Jan 7 '16 at 23:22
 - $\begingroup$ Don't worry I finally see how it works. the adding of the u(t-4) to the hitherto generated function with a slope of zero at x(t)=1 results in a boosted step signal which is then negated from 5 onwards by the term 2u(t-5). I didn't realise the chronological importance of this type of modelling until now. Thanks for your help. $\endgroup$ – burton01 Jan 7 '16 at 23:38
 - $\begingroup$ I'd think of it less as "chronological" and more as separating a function into a set of components. All components exist for all times $t$. This isn't very different from how principal component analysis works, which is used for "seasonal adjustments" in economic data among other things, or how a Fourier transform works, which is a sum of sinusoids of different frequencies, amplitudes and time offsets. $\endgroup$ – Omegaman Jan 8 '16 at 1:55
 - $\begingroup$ Yeah I understand. By chronological I more so meant the method you recommended to see how the final signal is constructed. I understand that it is important to choose functions which will not negate the signal that has been constructed but only tweak it beyond a certain point. $\endgroup$ – burton01 Jan 8 '16 at 2:16

text: Eating is the one thing on this list that absolutely can't be avoided. After a satisfying meal, the urge to smoke can be strong. This may be tied to dopamine, like stimulation, since eating a great meal can certainly increase your brain's natural happy drugs. It might also be a way to relax after the relatively taxing activity of eating (sometimes too fast) or the addition of wine with a meal. Most likely, though, it's habitual. Having a smoke after dinner was a socially reinforced habit for many years. Even in modern times, most smokers will wait until the food is cleared before lighting up, just out of politeness, not wanting to mar the smell or taste of the food until everyone is finished. So the enforced wait of dinner only tends to add to a cigarette's appeal, making this time another trigger to be on the lookout for.

The bridge reconstruction consisted of the construction of new piles, 50 cm in diameter, and a new hidden horizontal reinforced concrete structure within the dimensions of the existing bridge, including the complete fixing of the original reinforced concrete structure. New bridge deck has been made, 6.0 m wide, formed of a 5-m wide carriageway and the protective kerbstones from both sides of the bridge. During the performance of works, the access to the structure was difficult for the simple reason the structure was directly above the sea level and most reconstruction works had to be performed from pontoons.

Most of the projects have text that can be deleted.
Please follow along with this example to see how to delete text:
- Launch the Hallmark program.
- Click one of the category buttons: Birthdays, Holidays, Day by Day, Special Days, or Projects
- On the project selection screen, select the project you wish to work with.
- On the Personalize screen, click the Art Studio button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
- Click once on the wording. You will now see a box surrounding it. This is a Text Box.
- Click the Erase button that is now visible on the right-hand side of the screen. The text should now be deleted.
Note: This program is not a word processing program. Some words are broken into groups of letters to apply special fonts/effect to an individual letter. For example, imagine that one of the words on the project is "Happy". To get the capital "H" for this word, the word has to be broken into two separate Text Boxes. One Text Box will be for the letter "H" and the other for "appy". This way, the letter "H" can have a different type of font, size, color or effect applied to it, that is not applied to the "appy". In this case, you would need to select the letter "H" and delete it. Then, you will need to select the "appy" and delete that, as well.
Note: Some of the projects have the text saved within an image on the pre-designed project. If this is the case, you will not be able to delete that text.

Possum Point Power Station
Powers 415,000 homes
- Net generating capacity is 1,661 megawatts (4 units).
- Units 3 & 4 are fired using natural gas (converted from coal in May 2003).
- Unit 5 is an oil-fired unit (#6 low sulfur oil).
- Unit 6 is fired by both natural gas and no. 2 oil.
- The station's two oldest units, Units 1 and 2, have been retired.
- The combined-cycle unit consists of two combustion turbines and a steam generator. Forced air, superheated by natural gas, turns a turbine to generate electricity. Exhaust from the combustion turbines is captured and used to produce steam to power another turbine.
- By recapturing the waste heat, combined-cycle units burn less fuel and produce fewer emissions than comparably sized conventional units.
- The station overlooks the Potomac River and the Quantico Creek.
- A new 14-mile pipeline was provided due to the natural gas requirements for the station.
- Approximately 85 percent of the pipeline is located within existing Dominion Energy overhead electric transmission rights-of-way or on other Dominion Energy property.

The Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura, today expressed his deep regret at the destruction of Québec's ancient drill hall, a landmark adjacent to the Historic District of Old Québec, which was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1985.
"I deeply regret the destruction of this important landmark," said the Director-General. "It is particularly sad that this proud testimony of Québec's history was so severely damaged on the eve of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Québec City."
"It is doubly poignant that this loss should occur at a time when Canada is showing great and generous commitment to heritage preservation with its preparations to host the next session of the World Heritage Committee in July," the Director-General declared. "I hope that it will be possible to rebuild the ancient drill hall using existing plans and photographs," he concluded.
Built of brick and timber in 1887, the landmark burnt down on 4 April. Only one brick wall, the main entrance and two towers remained after the blaze whose cause has yet to be determined.

I have a db and want to know if it contains any spatial tables. Is there a table in SQL Server that holds spatial metadata i.e. a list of all the spatial tables in the current db?

You can always resort to querying the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES and COLUMNS dictionaries to find out if there are tables that are spatially enabled.
share|improve this answer
Further to unicoletti's answer, here is a SQL query that will list spatial tables and their geometry columns:
 from information_schema.columns c join
 information_schema.tables t ON c.TABLE_NAME = t.TABLE_NAME
 AND t.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' where c.DATA_TYPE = 'geometry'
 order by c.TABLE_SCHEMA, c.TABLE_NAME
If you're looking for geography columns change the geometry to geography in the query.
Also bear in mind a single table can have several spatial columns so it will appear twice in the query.
share|improve this answer
The "appear twice in the query" issue can be solved by removing "c.COLUMN_NAME as COLUMN_NAME" from the query, and changing "select" to "select distinct". Also, to get tables that have either spatial type or both, the WHERE clause would be "WHERE c.data_type IN ('geometry','geography')" – Jonathan Van Matre Dec 16 '11 at 19:50

Pioneers of Love
By Robin Oliver
SBS has a fine tradition in indigenous matters, but seldom has it offered such a beautifully stated piece of close focus as it does in this two-part account of Leandro Illin, a Russian nobleman who fled rising Bolshevik unrest and in 1910 arrived in Queensland. With 11 other Russians, he took up a parcel of land in wild country in the Atherton rainforest. Their Utopian community became known as Little Siberia.
Leandro was 28 when he met Kitty Clarke, a 20-year-old Aboriginal widow with three children. His upbringing had made him respect justice and equality and he scorned the white man's law that made it a criminal offence to have sex or even "sleep under the same blanket" as an Aborigine. As his diary of 1912 states, it was "difficult to make a home without a woman". So, in the language of the day, he "had connections" with Kitty.
When this relationship produced a child, Leandro applied to marry Kitty, whereupon John Bleakley, the Chief Protector of Aborigines, a man determined to maintain the purity of the white man "when there is a degrading race living in those conditions", sent Constable Pike to investigate. Pike was impressed and believed Leandro and Kitty should be married.
Bleakley refused and ordered the children seized. The family hid deep in the bush. How Leandro confronted Queensland Premier William Gillies at Atherden railway station to plead his case, how Gillies sent consent to marry via Constable Pike and how Leandro and Kitty, avoiding Bleakley, made an arduous journey to get married in Innisfail is a grand story, superbly illuminated by Leandro's daughters.

Path Walkthrough for the Impatient
|Time to complete|
Demonstrating the creation of a Path Workbench Job derived from a 3D Model. Then generating dialect-correct G-Code for a target CNC mill.
The 3D Model
1. The Project begins with a simple FreeCAD model designed in the Part Design a cube with a rectangular pocket,
Above: Created in the Part Design including a Body, a Box with a Pocket, based on a Sketch oriented in the XY plane.
3. Now we create a Path Job by either of the following methods:
- Press the button from the toolbar.
- Using the then keyboard shortcut.
- Using the Path → Job entry from the top menu.
Above: Path Job creation dialog
4. This opens a Job creation dialog. Within this dialog, clickto accept the Body as the Base Model, with no Template.
5. The Job Edit window opens in the Task window, and the model view Window shows the Stock as a wire frame cube surrounding the Base Body. The Setup Tab is selected.
6. The Output tab defines the output file path, name, extension, and the Postprocessor. For advanced users, Post Processor Arguments can be customized (mouse over to show tooltips of common arguments).
Above: Path Job Edit dialog with the Output tab selected
Above: Path Job Edit dialog with the Tools tab selected
7. Modify the Default tool by selecting it and clicking thebutton. This opens the Tool Controller edit window.
Above: Path Job Tool Controller subpanel Edit dialog
8. The name given to the tool and the tool number correspond with the tool number of the machine. In the dialog (see above) it's Tool Nr. 4. The tool controller is configured for horizontal and vertical feed rates of
2mm/s and a spindle speed of
9. Select the Tool subpanel of the Tool controller. Set the diameter (and if you wish to use the Path Simulation tool later: add a cutting edge angle and cutting edge height).
Above: Path Job Tool controller 'Tool' subpanel dialog
10. The values are confirmed with
Note: For easy access, all the tools can be predefined and selected from the Tool manager.
The Workplan tab initially is shown as empty. It is then populated by the sequence of Job Operations, Partial Path Commands, and Path Dressups. The sequence of these items is ordered here.
This tree is shown after the Job's configuration once the Path Job is unfolded:
The Path Operations
12. For now we will keep it simple. The Profile button opens the Contour panel. After confirming with using the default values, see the green path around the object is visible.
13. Selecting the bottom of the pocket and then the Pocket button opens the Pocket Shape window. The default values for Base Geometry, Depths, and Heights are used, and the Operation subpanel is selected, and the Step Over Percent is set at 50.
14. The pattern is changed to "Offset" and the Job Operation is confirmed for the pocket configuration with
The result is a model with two paths:
There are two ways to verify the created paths. The G-Code can be inspected, including highlighting the corresponding path segments. The milling process of the Path Job can also be simulated to demonstrate the idealized tool paths, required for the Tool geometries to mill the Stock.
To inspect the G-Code use the Path Inspect tool. Selecting the corresponding G-Code lines within the G-Code Inspection window highlights individual path segments.
Above: Path Inspection tool opens the G-Code Inspection dialog
To start the simulation use the Path Simulator tool.
Above: Path Simulation in progress
If you want to end the simulation click thebutton, it will remove the stock created for the simulation. If you click this object will be kept in your Job.
Postprocess the Job
The final step to generate G-Code for the target mill is to postprocess the Job. This outputs the G-Codes to a file that can be uploaded to the target CNC machine controller. To invoke the Postprocessor:
- Select the Job object in the tree view
- Select the Path Postprocessing tool to postprocess the file. This opens a G-Code window allowing inspection of the final output file before it is saved.

The FBC Guide To Using Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
An Allergen Friendly Guide To Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
Dried fruit is an ingredient we probably don't think about when we consider allergy risks. After all, it's just fruit that's had the moisture sucked out of it, right?
Not always, unfortunately. In today's column, I'll walk you through some the allergy and health considerations you may want to be mindful of when using dried fruit or cooking for someone with an allergy.
Dried Fruit and Gluten-Intolerance/Celiac Disease
If you're serving food or desserts to people with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, be aware dried fruits may be contaminated with sources of gluten. Some companies that sell dried fruits coat them with glutenous flours so they don't stick together. You probably won't be able to see the flour with the naked eye, but the presence of flour is enough to trigger a reaction in someone who is gluten intolerant or has celiac disease. It's typically a good bet to ask the grocery store manager or call the company to double check if flours or another glutenous ingredient were used.
Also, if you purchase from bulk bins someone else may have accidentally used a scoop from another bin with a glutenous product and then left it in the dried fruit. So even if the fruit in the bin was initially gluten free, the contaminated scoop tainted the whole thing. Whenever possible, I like to buy from the vertical bins where you have to pull a lever to release the bulk goodies; that way, you don't have scoops coming and going willy-nilly.
Dried Fruit and Mould
Dried fruit can support mould and yeast growth, and this can lead to the production of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are compounds that can impact our immune health, and potentially cause gastrointestinal distress and influence liver, kidney and carcinogenic diseases. Some moulds may cause respiratory or skin symptoms as well.
Shipping, handling and storing can impact mould growth on foods. Here in Canada, the government monitors our food supply and sets maximum allowable levels for mycotoxins. Once you buy them, ensure you store dried fruits properly in airtight containers and stash in a cool, dark place (you can also check out this post from Well Preserved for more dried fruit storage and handling tips).
Check your dried fruit for any visible signs of mould and note any strange odours, discolouration or a change in texture. When in doubt, just throw it out! Also, don't just scrape off the mouldy bits; if mould is showing up in one part of your dried fruit, it will likely have infiltrated the whole thing.
Dried Fruit and Sulphites
An Allergen Friendly Guide To Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
Sulphites are a preservative used on dried fruit — as well as many other foods and beverages — to extend shelf life. The sulphites found on dried fruit are linked to a range of effects, including itchy skin, hives, stomach pain, diarrhea, asthma and even anaphylaxis.
The government requires food companies to list suphites on packaging, so be sure to check labels if you or someone you know is sensitive to them.
Dried Fruit and Blood Sugar
Since most fresh fruit is already naturally sweet, when you remove the water what you're left with are highly concentrated nuggets of sweetness and fibre. While fibre can help to slow down blood sugar, you're still consuming a lot of sugar and it's important to be mindful of how much dried fruit you eat. It's much easier to guzzle a dozen dried apricots than to eat a dozen fresh ones in one sitting, right?
RELATED: The Spice Box: Getting To Know Nutmeg & Mace
Some dried fruit manufacturers coat their products with extra sugar, maple syrup or fruit juices to make them even sweeter, or to make them more palable in some cases. Take dried cranberries, for instance. Cranberries are incredibly sour when fresh, while the dried versions are often more sweet than tangy.
You may also want to make a note to drink more water if you've been snacking on dried fruits, or rehydrate dried fruits for a few minutes in warm water before using them so your digestive tract doesn't need to pull additional water to rehydrate them. Remember, dried fruit is high in fibre, and fibre needs water to move through your system efficiently.
How To Use Dried Fruit
Dried fruit can be used in your diet in a multitude of ways, including:
Make Your Own Dried Fruit!
An Allergen Friendly Guide To Dried Fruit | Food Bloggers of Canada
Drying fruits is a great way to preserve them, especially if you've got a large amount on hand and have already made jam and frozen several containers worth in the freezer.
You can use a food dehydrator if you have one, or dry them out in 4 to 8 hours in the oven. My two favourite things to make are fruit leather and apple chips. Fruit leather is super easy: puree your fruit in a food processor or blender, then spread it out to dry in your dehydrator or on parchment in the oven. For apple chips, I slice them thinly and sprinkle with cinnamon (you could also add dried ginger or nutmeg), then bake in the oven until they're dry. Great for fall apple season!
Storing Dried Fruit
Dried fruit should be stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container and can last for several months like this. You can also store them in airtight glass containers that can look really pretty on your counter or pantry shelves but exposure to light will shorten the shelf life of your dried fruit so be sure to use them up quickly if you do that.
You can also store dried fruit in the freezer if you want to keep it longer. It can last up to a year like this.
