Background: Recreational drug toxicity is a common reason for presentation to the Emergency Department. Knowledge of recreational drug names is important to allow targeted assessment of patients presenting with recreational drug toxicity. Aims: To assess final year medical student knowledge of proper and street names for recreational drugs. Design: Questionnaire survey of final year medical students attending a revision lecture. Methods: There were two questionnaires used in this study. The first contained either proper names of recreational drugs or names sounding similar to recreational drugs or licensed pharmaceutical products; students were asked to identify which of these were recreational drugs. The second contained street names of recreational drugs and the students were asked to identify which recreational drug the street name referred to. Results: One hundred and thirty-five students completed the questionnaire 1. The mean total score (±SD) of correct answers was 7.15±2.26 (range 2–13) out of a maximum of 15. One hundred and fifteen students completed questionnaire 2. The mean total score (±SD) of correctly identified street names was 11.0±2.6 (range 0–17) out of a maximum of 24. No individual student was able to correctly identify all the street names for the recreational drugs listed in the survey. Conclusions: We have shown that final year medical students have variable knowledge of both the proper and street names of recreational drugs. There is a need for improved education of medical students in the names of recreational drugs and the sources of information available to assist them in identifying what drugs an individual has taken.

PigProgress - What to do when tail biting occurs?
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Almost all conventional pig producers will be familiar with tail bitten pigs. It's called a tail biting outbreak when biting leads to multiple victims per pen, or even spreads throughout the barn. Outbreaks are hard to stop – here is how it is possible to overcome an outbreak successfully.
Tail-bitten pigs are often noticed only at an advanced stage, when there is shortening of the tail. At this stage it is likely that most other pigs in the pen have noticed the blood and been attracted to it. That may motivate them to bite and to create new victims.
Ideally, tail biting is noticed at an early stage, before there is blood on the tail and before the tail length is reduced. This can be through either noticing the biter or noticing the victim. When a pig is repeatedly biting tails, the pig can be observed for ten to 15 minutes to see if it continues biting. If this is the case it might be better to remove the potential problem causer.

Tail posture as indicator
Victims can be recognised at an early stage by looking at tail posture. A tail almost permanently tucked between the legs indicates it is being bitten. A briefly tucked tail can, however, be in response to other social interactions such as displacement. A good time to check tail posture is at the feeder. If the feeding is synchronised, it is easy to check all tails together. Even at an individual feeding station, if pigs are constantly seen with tucked tails when feeding, there may be a biting problem in the pen. A tucked tail should be inspected closely; if injuries are present, then it is better to act immediately rather than wait until it gets worse.

What to do?
Action to address tail biting can be through providing distraction to the group or by removing biters or victims when it is more severe. Almost anything can be used to distract pigs, but they easily lose interest. It is therefore more important to change enrichment regularly than to necessarily have the best type of enrichment. However, enrichment should be safe for the animals and not pose risks for food safety.
Good enrichment materials for pigs are chewable, destructible and edible and can be manipulated by multiple pigs at the same time. Loose materials such as straw, hay and sawdust are most used by pigs, but if the housing limits the provision of these, there are other alternatives. Examples are ropes, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), soft rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).
What to do when tail biting occurs?
Using a step-wise protocol
Straw is one of the best materials to occupy pigs. However, for several reasons straw may not be a suitable option or possibility, especially on fully slatted floors. In Ireland about 80% of farms have fully slatted floors. A recent study conducted on a farm in Ireland showed that tail-biting outbreaks can still be effectively reduced using a set protocol. In this protocol three types of intervention were used in a random order:
A. Putting three ropes in a pen of 12-14 pigs
B. Removing the victim
C. Removing the biter.
If after 72 hours blood was detected on one of the pigs in the pen, then the next step was taken. When an option was applied but was not successful, then the next one was applied until all three options had been used. Victims or biters that had been removed were later introduced back in the group as described in the protocol in the box. This resulted in no overt aggression between the pigs when the removed pigs were reintroduced to the original group.
Figure 1 – Step wise plan for overcoming tail biting problems in a pen.
What to do when tail biting occurs?
80% of outbreaks can be solved
The study showed that 80% of severe tail-biting outbreaks could be stopped, even when removed pigs are reintroduced to their original groups. Adding ropes could shorten the duration of an outbreak, since it may take longer to remove and reintroduce pigs. Removing victims or biters was as effective as adding ropes in stopping an outbreak. All pigs were reintroduced to their original groups, which saved the need to have extra space to permanently house removed pigs. Based on the outcomes, the following stepwise plan was recommended (see Figure 1).
Figure 2 – The chance of reducing a tail biting outbreak 'likelihood of success' depends on the number of victims and biters per pen.
The need to respond quickly
The results also showed the importance of responding quickly to the occurrence of tail biting. The chance of successfully reducing a tail-biting outbreak depends on the number of affected pigs in the pen. Figure 2 shows that if more than 50% of the pigs are victims of tail biting, the chance of success in overcoming the outbreak can still be around 60%. But if 33% of pigs are biters, then the chance of stopping the outbreak is only 30%. Thus, the more biters in the pen, the smaller the chance that the outbreak can be stopped.
How to remove and reintroduce pigs from a group?
1. Determine which pig to remove to gain most benefit.
2. Remove the selected pig together with at least one other pig.
3. Write down the pen number from which they are removed and date of removal.
4. Provide a recovery pen without mixing with other unfamiliar pigs.
5. When the pigs have recovered, or at least within seven days, return the pigs together to the original pen.
6. Provide ropes in the pen at the time of reintroduction.
7. Use scent marking spray such as diluted Dettol when pigs are returned.
Have a tail-biting first aid kit
This protocol worked successfully at the farm, which is a conventional farm with fully slatted floors. This does not mean that the protocol will be successful under different conditions. We encourage others to try it but to have other safety measures ready as well. We recommend having a stock of different enrichment objects and products that are directly available whenever an outbreak occurs. Such a 'tail-biting first aid kit' can include ropes, straw, toys, large feed pellets (beetroot pellets), rubber hoses and jute sacks (burlap sacks).

text: The aim of this research was to explore why workers in health and social services embarked on a Certificate in Community Care Practice and the extent to which they felt knowledge learnt related to their every‐day work practice. The objective was to indicate how useful more academic courses are for health and social care staff, and to find out the kinds of barriers to practicing theory learnt in the classroom students face in their 'real world' of work. Data was collected from 25 mature students (over half were between the ages of 41–50 years), 3 of whom were men from a range of professional backgrounds including; support staff working in residential and domiciliary services and informal (unpaid) carers for people with learning disabilities, mental health difficulties as well as older people. Quantitative (an adapted questionnaire) and qualitative (focus group session which was an integral part of classroom learning about research methodology) methods were employed. Data was analysed using SPSS and thematic analysis. Findings indicated that the main motivators for study was to gain a qualification and for personal development. Students reported their increased desire to link theory learnt which they found highly relevant to their everyday practice, but organisational barriers sometimes precluded them from doing so. The paper ends with policy and practice recommendations.

How would you go around creating a reusable weapon class? I can't really wrap my head around creating a class, which will work for both melee and ranged weapons.
Example given, that you have a knife, an RPG, and you have an ordinary pistol. How would you go around creating a class all three can inherit from?
share|improve this question
Think about what they have in common and what is dfferent for each of them. That's the first step. – Maik Semder Sep 14 '11 at 14:07

The same way you design any inheritance structure: You think about what all weapons, without exception, have in common. Obviously, damage comes to mind. Attack rate. Remember that you don't have to (and should not!) cramp everything into the base class. You put into a class what you need it (and all child classes) to do, no more and no less.
Next step, you could make 2 classes, MeleeWeapon and RangedWeapon, which both inherit from Weapon. Maybe that split is necessary because a MeleeWeapon has no range, and/or only a RangedWeapon uses ammunition. Then you repeat the above process for each of those classes, until you have all classes you need.
At every branch, you should also consider if you really need to split into 2 or more classes. For example, melee weapons could also have a meaningful range, such as spear vs. dagger, or your ranged weapons could have infinite ammo. That totally depends on your game design and cannot be generalized.
share|improve this answer
Thank you very much, I have some quick drafts for some classes now :) – meth0d_ Sep 14 '11 at 15:14
-1, while your first paragraph I agree with, the rest of your answer trends towards the very outmoded and out-of-favor inheritance-heavy approach to design. – Josh Petrie Sep 14 '11 at 15:24
Just want to add that every weapon has a range. If a melee weapon would have a range of less or equal 0 it would not hit anything! – Marco Sep 14 '11 at 16:13
_USER_ An example where 0 range works: In a grid based system, the range represents how many squares away the target can be. 0 squares away is adjacent. 1 square away is any adjacent to the adjacent squares, and etc. What "0" means is a design specific question, and can be a valid value for range. – normanthesquid Sep 14 '11 at 17:39
_USER_ yes, I see, special cases. To Hackworth: It's not off-topic, since you were giving a statement in your answer and I thought that it would not be right; That's the matter with comments. Anyways, I still think that a range has to be defined (0 is also a value) to check any collisions with any entity. However, my understanding of range might actually differ from yours, so we should just stop discussing here. – Marco Sep 14 '11 at 18:18
To add to Hackworth's answer, with regard to damage and attack rate, in an RPG there are also modifiers to abilities. A heavy weapon may actually reduce your strength or dexterity, and give you negative modifiers. However, instead of thinking about having all weapons inheriting your modifiers, create a Modifier interface and implementation that has getters/setters for those modifiers. Now your Weapon interface should have a getter/setter for your Modifier object. This favors composition over inheritance when it makes sense.
share|improve this answer
It should certainly be possible to create a single class that represents all weapons equally well -- and this is ideal, because allowing yourself to fall into the trap of creating many subclasses for each weapon type is cumbersome. Composition(*) should be favored over inheritance.
The big challenges are going to be
 1. Enumerating the set of data and behavior that you expect of all classifications of weapon.
 2. Determining how to abstract that data and behavior into a data-oriented approach.
"Range" is a good example -- both swords and guns both have a range. You can either elect to use a simple system when a range of 0 just means "melee" or you can use a real-world measurement so as to (as suggested by another poster), gives daggers a shorter reach than a polearm.
Behavior can be handled by scripting(**). You could have an "on-activated" script object that was invoked when the weapon was used or swung -- the script for a melee weapon would look at the range, and the location of the actor using the weapon and perhaps compute the set of targets in an semi-circle in front of the actor and apply damage to each. Conversely the script for a gun might do a raycast from the actor, limited by the range.
(*) This does not strictly imply that you have to rely on "component oriented" systems to effectively avoid going crazy with inheritance.
(**) Either via scripts loaded from another language, like Lua, or by pointing the weapon at a C++ "Script" class which you do create subclasses of. The latter is obviously easier, but lacks some of the benefits of a scripting system as it requires recompilation, for example.

In Australia, the Easter...Bilby?
SYDNEY (Reuters) - The Easter Bunny's days as a furry seasonal icon may be numbered in Australia, as conservationists Down Under move to replace it with the Easter Bilby.
The bilby is a rare marsupial that has long ears, a long muzzle, silky fur and a pouch like a kangaroo. Males grow to about the same size as a rabbit.
But the animal is in trouble. Only some 600 are estimated to remain in the wild, and its habitat is being steadily eaten away by rabbits, which were introduced to Australia.
As a result, Mike Drinkwater, who looks after bilbies at a Sydney wildlife park, would like to make the Easter Bunny a thing of the past.
"Number one, rabbits are a pest in Australia. Secondly, the bilby has these lovely, endearing rabbit-like qualities," he said.
"Thirdly, the bilby is a beautiful, iconic native animal that is struggling. It is endangered, so it's important that we do all we can to support that."
Chocolate stores around Australia are displaying Easter Bilbies in their windows. The largest Australian-owned chocolate factory, Darrell Lea - which sponsors bilby breeding programs - questioned why anybody would want to buy an Easter Bunny when they could have an Easter Bilby instead.
The campaign appears to be catching on. Some schools have replaced their Easter bunnies with bilbies for annual egg hunts.
"Given that the bilbies have suffered so greatly due to the introduction of rabbits, it's directly linked to a very important conservation and education message," Drinkwater said.

|Look up calque in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.|
In linguistics, a calque (//) or loan translation is a word or phrase borrowed from another language by literal word-for-word or root-for-root translation. When used as a verb, "to calque" means to borrow a word or phrase from another language while translating its components, so as to create a new lexeme in the target language. For instance, the English word "skyscraper" led to calques in dozens of other languages. Another notable example is the Latin weekday names, which came to be associated by ancient Germanic speakers with their own gods following a practice known as interpretatio germanica: the Latin "Day of Mercury", Mercurii dies, was borrowed into Late Proto-Germanic as the "Day of Wōđanaz" (*Wodanesdag), which became Wōdnesdæg in Old English, then "Wednesday" in Modern English.
The term calque itself is a loanword from the French noun calque ("tracing, imitation, close copy"), while the word loanword is a calque of the German noun Lehnwort. Calquing is distinct from phono-semantic matching: while calquing includes semantic translation, it does not consist of phonetic matching—i.e., of retaining the approximate sound of the borrowed word by matching it with a similar-sounding pre-existing word or morpheme in the target language.
Proving that a word is a calque sometimes requires more documentation than does an untranslated loanword because, in some cases, a similar phrase might have arisen in both languages independently. This is less likely to be the case when the grammar of the proposed calque is quite different from that of the borrowing language, or when the calque contains less obvious imagery.
One system classifies calques into five groups. However, this terminology is not universal:
- Phraseological calques: idiomatic phrases are translated word for word. For example, "it goes without saying" calques the French ça va sans dire.
- Syntactic calques: syntactic functions or constructions of the source language are imitated in the target language, in violation of their meaning.
- Loan-translations: words are translated morpheme by morpheme, or component by component, into another language.
- Semantic calques (also known as semantic loans): additional meanings of the source word are transferred to the word with the same primary meaning in the target language. As described below, the "computer mouse" was named in English for its resemblance to the animal; many other languages have extended their own native word for "mouse" to include the computer mouse.
- Morphological calques: the inflection of a word is transferred. Some authors call a this a morpheme-by-morpheme translation.
Also, some linguists refer to a phonological calque, in which the pronunciation of a word is imitated in the other language. For example, the English word "radar" becomes the similar-sounding Chinese word 雷达 (pinyin: léidá)., which literally means "to arrive (as fast) as thunder".
Partial calques, or loan blends, translate some parts of a compound but not others. For example, the name of the Irish digital television service "Saorview" is a partial calque of that of the UK service "Freeview", translating the first half of the word from English to Irish but leaving the second half unchanged. Other examples include "liverwurst" (< German Leberwurst) and "apple strudel" (< German Apfelstrudel).
The common English phrase "flea market" is a loan translation of the French marché aux puces ("market with fleas"). At least 22 other languages also calque the French expression (directly, or indirectly through some other language).
Another example of a common morpheme-by-morpheme loan-translation, is of the English word "skyscraper", which may be calqued using the word for "sky" or "cloud" and the word, variously, for "scraping", "scratching", "piercing", "sweeping", "kissing", etc. At least 54 languages have their own versions of the English word.
translātiō and trāductiō
All Germanic languages (except for English, Icelandic, and Dutch), and some Slavic languages, calqued their words for "translation" from the Latin translātiō, substituting their respective Germanic or Slavic root words for the Latin roots. The remaining Slavic languages instead calqued their words for "translation" from an alternative Latin word, trāductiō, itself derived from trādūcō ("to lead across" or "to bring across")—from trans ("across") + dūcō, ("to lead" or "to bring").
The West and East Slavic languages (except for Russian) adopted the translātiō pattern, whereas Russian and the South Slavic languages adopted the trāductiō pattern. The Romance languages, deriving directly from Latin, did not need to calque their equivalent words for "translation". Instead, they simply adapted the second of the two alternative Latin words, trāductiō.
The English verb "to translate" was borrowed from the Latin translātiō, rather than being calqued. The Icelandic word þýða ("translate"; cognate with the German deuten, "to interpret") was not calqued from Latin, nor was it borrowed.
The "computer mouse" was named in English for its resemblance to the animal. Many other languages use their word for "mouse" for the "computer mouse", sometimes using a diminutive or, in Chinese, adding the word "cursor" (thus "鼠标", "mouse cursor").. At least 35 languages have their own versions of the English term.

A little mind candy for the middle of your day
Students Call for Salt Water Taffy to Become NJ's Official Candy
View Comments ()
 Students from Samsel Elementary school in Sayreville, N.J. will do their part in an effort to make salt water taffy the state's offical candy. (Published Thursday, June 5, 2014)
 New Jersey has an official state bird (the goldfinch), flower (the common violet), tree (the red oak), fish (the brook trout), folk dance (the square dance), bug (the honeybee) and even a dinosaur (Hadrosaurus foulkii). One lawmaker reckons that what New Jersey needs now is an official state candy.
 Assemblyman John Wisniewski is pushing a bill to honor salt water taffy with the designation. He introduced it after meeting with students at Sayreville's Samsel Upper Elementary School for a lesson on how a bill becomes law. The measure cleared an Assembly committee on Thursday.
 Wisniewski had asked the students to come up with something that deserved to become a law. They wanted to name an official state candy and chose salt water taffy, which was invented in Atlantic City as a popular souvenir of a trip to the shore in the late 19th century. (The sugar-laden confection does not actually contain any salt water.)
 Testifying Thursday before the Assembly tourism committee in Trenton, fifth-grader Tyler Graham said designating an official state candy can help boost tourism at the Jersey shore in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
 "Wouldn't it be nice to give citizens a reason to come to the shore and purchase the official state candy?" he asked.
 Atlantic City became the epicenter of the salt water taffy world, with confectioners Enoch James, Joseph Fralinger and William Shriver founding taffy and candy companies bearing their names.
 The bill now goes to the full Assembly.
 Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle commended the students and thanked them for the samples they passed out.
 "My favorite flavor is banana and chocolate," she said. "I already had one."
 Assemblyman Ralph Caputo said, "The lesson is that when you become a legislator, you get to have candy before lunch."

I can't state it out in a logical way. I can't state their difference. Like what Matt Ellen said, he disagreed with what I said – Thursagen Aug 26 '11 at 11:30
I'm not sure the comments to the answer you're referencing use size and magnitude correctly, although they certainly serve to convey the intended meaning. – Peter Shor Aug 26 '11 at 13:08
I don't think this one will fit in a nutshell. Anything you say about either definition can be contradicted by a counterexample or a counter-definition from a particular discipline (astronomy, mathematics, etc.) – JeffSahol Aug 26 '11 at 13:14
In science, magnitude also means the amount (or absolute value) of something without considering the direction. So a force of 10 N at an angle of 30° has a magnitude of 10 N. – mgb Aug 26 '11 at 16:53

Usually, size connotes physical dimensions while magnitude connotes either a numerical measure (particularly a non-linear one) of any sort of amount or metaphorical size.
"What size is that screw?" (Physical dimensions)
"A problem of immense magnitude" (Metaphorical size)
You can also use size to mean metaphorical size, but you usually can't use magnitude alone to mean physical size. (Nobody would say "What's your sneaker magnitude?")
share|improve this answer
+1: I think the suggestion that size is primarily used for physical dimensions while magnitude is more generally applicable sounds right. – AAT Aug 26 '11 at 22:35
I'm certainly going to be asking people for their "sneaker magnitude" after reading this. – gcbenison Apr 28 '12 at 3:33
The difference/usage exists mainly in natural sciences (physics)
 - size: has nearly always a linear scale, if the size gets bigger, it also means higher positive absolute values of the according physical quantitiy (temperature, volume,...)
 - magnitude: has more the meaning "order of magnitude" and is often used esp. for logarithmic scales when linear scales are too unhandy and typical order of magnitudes like milli, nano,... fail for practical use (e.g. magnitude of earthquakes, apparent magnitude in astronomy (here the unity is mag but a more negative mag value means a brighter astronomical object! so its counter intuitive to typical physical quantities.)).

"Magnitude" connotes the quality of being big, whereas "size" is merely a measure of how big something is.

Sounds very explanatory for me. – MoonLight Aug 27 '11 at 23:38
In mathematics, magnitude, together with direction, describes a vector. For instance, an object is said to have a velocity if it travels in a particular direction (say, "Northeast") at a particular rate (say, "30 knots"). The magnitude of velocity is speed, which does not imply a direction. Only values with a direction are said to have magnitude in this way; scalar values, such as an object's mass, or physical dimension (size) is never described in this way. Of course, there are many other ways that the word'magnitude' is used
share|improve this answer
Both have technical meanings - e.g. size in fashion, magnitude in cosmology. However, in general usage the difference is really a matter of register.

Lesson 15-- Updating Prices
This lesson explains how to keep your estimating and inventory prices up-to-date in Goldenseal construction estimating software.
When to Update Prices
Update prices when you have spare time, when prices change dramatically, or when you need to include something brand new in an Estimate or Sale.
Inflation Adjustments
If you are using prices that are not current, you can add a quick inflation adjustment to your estimates. To do so, follow these steps:
 1. Open an estimate with a item breakdown.
 2. Click in the bottom row, and hit the Return key to add a new row.
 3. Click in the Cost Area cell, and enter Percent of Hard, Percent of Labor or Percent of Materials.
 4. Click in the Cost Item cell, and label the item "inflation" or something similar.
 5. Click in the Quantity cell, and type in a percentage adjustment.
Updating Labor Prices
Most Assemblies include some labor components. When wage rates, employer tax rates or payroll insurance rates change, follow these steps:
 1. Choose Cost Items from the Costs menu.
 2. Locate items that have Labor for a cost area. HINT: You can use the Find command to quickly locate all labor items.
 3. Calculate the net cost of this type of labor.
 4. Enter the new rate into the Purchase Price field.
 5. Hit the Enter key to close the transaction. Goldenseal will automatically update all Assemblies that use this labor rate.
 6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each labor cost that has changed.
NOTE: When you change labor prices, Goldenseal will not update estimates that you have already started. If you want to use current prices in an existing estimate, open it and click the Update Prices button.
Net Cost of Labor
When you calculate labor costs, start with an "average" wage rate for an employee or subcontractor who does that type of work. You can use local "prevailing wage" figures, or take an average of your employee wage rates for a particular type of work, or estimate the average wage rate with some other method.
The net cost of labor is the wage rate plus any employer costs that are based on payroll (sometimes known as "burden"). You can calculate that from the actual taxes, insurance and benefits that you pay.
For example, in the US you might use the following calculation:
 1. Start with the average wage rate-- say $10.00 per hour.
 2. Add paid holidays-- 6 days / 180 days worked, or.33
 3. Add paid vacations-- 10 days / 180 days worked, or.56
 4. Add the three numbers above to get the net wage per hour actually worked-- $10.89
Once you have a net wage, add employer taxes and employer benefit expenses to get the total cost of labor. For example:
 1. Add the employer portion of FICA-- currently 7.65%, or $.83
 2. Add state unemployment tax (SUTA)-- 3%, or $.33
 3. Add federal unemployment tax (FUTA)--.8%, or $.09
 4. Add worker's comp-- 12%, or $1.31
 5. Add disability insurance-- 1/2%, or.$05
 6. Add health insurance-- $350 per month / 150 hours worked per month, or $2.33
 7. Net cost of labor is the net wage plus 'burden' = $15.83
HINT: Your rates will probably be different for SUTA, worker's comp and disability insurance. Tax rates may change with time. Your location may have other employer taxes, and you may need to include other benefits.
You can also include overhead costs per labor hour, to cover supervision or payroll labor. Or you can leave them out of the labor rate and cover those overhead costs via markup or some other method.
HINT: Set up a spreadsheet with your calculations. That way you can check your figures more easily, and it will be less trouble to do the computation again, the next time taxes or wage rates change.
Updating Material Prices
You can update material costs automatically by entering Material Purchases for the materials you buy, and using an Item breakdown for them. Goldenseal will update the price of the listed materials, and also use the figures for accounts payable, inventory tracking and time and materials billing.
You can also enter price quotes, whether you use the full Goldenseal or just the estimating version. To do so, first set up material accounts, as follows:
 1. Choose Material Suppliers from the Accounts menu.
 2. Click the New button.
 3. Enter details for one of your material suppliers.
 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each supplier who gives you price quotes.
Next, enter prices from each supplier, as follows:
 1. Choose Material Purchases from the Costs menu.
 2. Click the New button.
 3. Enter Pricing Only into the Status field on the left side of the window.
 4. Enter Items into the Breakdown field on the left side of the window.
 5. Enter the supplier who is giving you the price quote.
 6. Click in the first row of the breakdown table, and enter prices for one item.
 7. Hit the Return key, and enter additional prices.
NOTE: When you change material prices, Goldenseal will not update estimates that you have already started. If you want to use current prices in an existing estimate, open it and click the Update Prices button.
Updating Cost Items
To set the way a Cost Item updates, follow these steps:
 1. Choose Cost Items from the Costs menu.
 2. Find the desired Cost Item.
 3. Enter a method into the Pricing Method field. You can use the most recent price, or an average price. You can also type a price in directly, and not use purchases at all.
Calibrating Unit Prices
If your business depends on cost estimates, then you probably want them to be accurate. Here are some ways you can make that happen, both when you first start out with Goldenseal, and as you use the program over the years.
Trial Estimates
If you've never used Goldenseal before, start out by making a 'trial' estimate on a project that you've completed that has accurate job cost data. If you don't have good job cost data for any projects, you might want to pick one or two of them, and enter expenses for them into Goldenseal so you know what the actual costs were.
When you make a trial estimate, the goal is to get it to hit actual costs 'on the nose'. You can do that be adjusting unit costs, or by figuring a 'fudge factor' that you enter as a quick adjustment percentage.
You may even want to make several trial estimates. It's a good way to get familiar with Goldenseal, and also get familiar with the unit costs.
If you haven't completed any projects or don't have accurate job cost data, you can still calibrate prices by comparing a Goldenseal estimate with an estimate that you prepare by hand. Use whatever method you've used for past estimates, and take extra time to make sure it is complete and accurate, so Goldenseal will start out more accurate too.
Job Cost Feedback
It's a very good idea to track expenses on all of your projects, so you can see how accurate each estimate turns out to be. The Job Costs command compare 'estimated versus actual', so it is easy to get that feedback.
When each project is complete, take a look at each general cost category, and check how actual costs compared to the original estimate.
For those categories that are significantly off, it's a good idea to double-check the actual expense records, to make sure there wasn't a mistake. If the data is good, then adjust the Cost Items and Assemblies that you used for the project so they are closer to the correct amount.
Individual projects sometimes have 'quirks', so it's a good idea to track costs on every project you do. That way over time you can perfect your costs and get very accurate estimates. Turtle Creek Construction was able to consistently bid within 2% of actual costs after we computerized, and many users of our software have reported similar accuracy. Bidding is more fun when it's not a gamble!
Changing Assemblies
If an assembly is not giving you accurate estimates, you can adjust it in several different ways:
 - If the overall quantity is off, change the Suggested Quantity for the item, or change the way the dimension is calculated.
 - If material costs are off, change the waste factor for some components, change the quantities of the material components, or change the specific components that are included in the Assembly.
 - If labor costs are off, change the number of person-hours.
 - If you are using an Assembly to estimate work done by a subcontractor, you can adjust either the labor components, the material components, or both. You don't need to know exact details of what the subcontractor uses-- just get the cost of the 'trial estimate' to match what the subcontractor actually charged you.
Adding Assemblies
Sometimes an estimate is off because you didn't include the correct items in the original estimate. The best way to fix that is to set up templates for your most common types of work (see Lesson 24).
As you finish each project


Edden Hammons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Edden Hammons (born 28 Feb 1875[1] Webster County, West Virginia, died 7 September 1955[2] ) was an American fiddler from West Virginia. He was known for his idiosyncratic style, creativity, and the many (often exaggerated) folkloric tales about him.[3]
Edden Hammons was born to Jesse Hammons and Nancy Hicks on 28 February 1875 at Williams River in Webster County, West Virginia. He was the youngest in a family of seven. His three brothers (Paris, Peter, and Cornelius), as well as his father, played the fiddle. Edden took up the fiddle at an early age, playing on a fiddle made out of a gourd that his father made for him. His family was known for its musicians, woodsmen, and hunters.[3]
Edden progressed in his fiddle playing and soon obtained a store-bought fiddle. There are several different stories about this. In one, a friend of Edden's father asked Edden to play him a tune. Edden took out his gourd-fiddle and played for the man. Afterwards, the man was so impressed that he gave Edden his own fiddle. Another story refers to when a renowned fiddler named Bernard "Burn" Hamrick was playing for a local dance. After he finished playing, Edden's father asked Burn if Edden could play a few tunes on his fiddle. Burn agreed to let Edden play his fiddle, and was so discouraged afterwards by Edden's superior ability that he let him keep the fiddle. Whatever the story may have really been, it is sure that Edden received a nicer fiddle that his original one, and started to become well known as a fiddle player in his area.[3]
In his home, Edden was spoiled and spared from chores and work. These qualities would follow him into his adult life. A popular example among the Hammons family of Edden's distaste of work is shortly after his first marriage in 1892. His wife asked Edden to stop playing the fiddle, get a job, and support a family. Edden was quoted as saying "Pon [sic] my honor, I'll lay my fiddle down for no damn woman".[3] The two separated and were legally divorced in 1897. 10 days after the divorce, Edden married his second wife, Elizabeth Shaffer (despite pleas from Elizabeth's family members for her to not marry Edden). The two raised seven children and remained married until Elizabeth's death in 1954.[3]
Edden's family lived somewhat nomadically, moving from one place to another usually twice a year. Edden still rarely worked during these times. He supported his family through hunting, fishing, farming, moonshining and other odd jobs. His daughter, Emma Hammons, recalls that "[h]e whittled axe handles, he played for dances, different things. He picked up money that way. Ginseng, he'd get money that way. It was against the law but he would kill squirrels, turkeys and sell them, or fish - he always had a couple dollars in his pocket somehow".[3]
Edden continued his fiddle playing throughout his adult life. At this point he was regarded as one of the best fiddlers from West Virginia. He won many fiddle contests. People would visit at odd hours just to hear him play, and on some occasions, people would have him play music over the phone while the neighborhood listened in. Other anecdotes appear from this era, such as how Edden would show up somewhere to play music, and would carry his fiddle in a flour sack (with the flour still inside it). His nephew, Currence, recalls when "[Edden] just walked over to the corner and picked up the flour poke and they all got to looking to what he was getting. He pulled that old fiddle out and flour all over it. He dusted it off, blowed it off, you know. Some of them went to laughing and hollering about that flour. 'Upon my honor,' Edden said, 'that's just as good as the best cases every made,' he said, 'that flour makes her play good.'" [3]
On 7 September 1955, Hammons died of coronary thrombosis at Renick in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.[4] His death record cites his occupation as fiddler.[5]
To this day, Edden Hammons is still a very well respected fiddler. He has recorded many solo fiddle tunes on two compilations of his music.
Although occasionally accompanied by his son, James, Hammons typically played alone. Consequently, he was able to play some tunes in odd time signatures, play certain parts as many times as he found fit, and change the tempo at his will without having to worry about throwing off a band. He was also known for playing several variations of the same melody within a tune, adding a lot of ornamentation, and occasionally tagging on a few extra beats to some parts (such as "Big Fancy").
Edden is one of the few, if not the only, sources of many traditional songs that are popular today. These include "Shaking Off the Acorns", "Sandy Boys", "Big Fancy", and "Old Greasy Coat". His influence is still widespread among old-time fiddlers and other musicians within the old-time genre.
In August 1947, Louis Chappell recorded 52 tunes by Edden Hammons. These were released as two separate LPs. The first was "The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume One", which contained 15 of these recordings. Some of these tunes included "Washington's March", "Shaking Off the Acorns", and "Fine Times At Our House".[3] The second release was a two-disc set called "The Edden Hammons Collection, Volume Two", which contained more recorded songs from the same session. This release contained such tunes as "Birdy", "Jake's Got the Bellyache", and "Big Hoedown". Both of these LP's were released in 1984

It is possible to mimic a Javascript eval() in Apex by making a callout to the executeAnonymous API method.
There are two common ways you can get a response back from executeAnonymous.
 1. Throw a deliberate exception at the end of the execute and include the response. Kevin covers this approach in EVAL() in Apex. Secure Dynamic Code Evaluation on the Salesforce1 Platform.
 2. I used a variation of this approach but returned the response via the debug log rather than an intentional exception. See Adding Eval() support to Apex.
Using my example the Apex would be something like:
string toEval =
 'Boolean b1 = true;' +
 'Boolean b2 = true;' +
 'boolean b3 = b1 && b2;' +
 'System.debug(LoggingLevel.Error, b3);';
boolean b4 = soapSforceCom200608Apex.evalBoolean( toEval );
system.debug('test Bool '+ b4);
 - You rock! Never known this is possible in Apex!!!! You have my vote up! – Patlatus Apr 16 '15 at 8:55
 - No. There are some native features that will evaluate your string such as Database.insert and other DML methods. But not an arbitrary expression. – pchittum Jan 29 '13 at 12:19

I created an apex class on github to do this. Take a look at this... _URL_
List values = new List{
true, false, true, true, false, true, true, true
BooleanEvaluate boolEval = new BooleanEvaluate('1 && ( ( 2 || 3 ) && 6 ) && ( 4 && 5 || ( 7 && 8 ) )', values);
If someone wants to improve it, please fork! Hope it helps

TY - CONF TI - A simple repair mechanism can alleviate computational demands of pragmatic reasoning: simulations and complexity analysis AU - Arkel, Jacqueline van AU - Woensdregt, Marieke AU - Dingemanse, Mark AU - Blokpoel, Mark AB - How can people communicate successfully while keeping resource costs low in the face of ambiguity? We present a principled theoretical analysis comparing two strategies for disambiguation in communication: (i) pragmatic reasoning, where communicators reason about each other, and (ii) other-initiated repair, where communicators signal and resolve trouble interactively. Using agent-based simulations and computational complexity analyses, we compare the efficiency of these strategies in terms of communicative success, computation cost and interaction cost. We show that agents with a simple repair mechanism can increase efficiency, compared to pragmatic agents, by reducing their computational burden at the cost of longer interactions. We also find that efficiency is highly contingent on the mechanism, highlighting the importance of explicit formalisation and computational rigour.

Dual Color Probes
Our dual color FISH probes allow for the detection of two genetic loci in a single sample, with a different color dye assigned to each probe. This is useful for cases where multiple genes or regions need to be identified, including when testing for gene translocations and fusions: translocations will result in splitting of the two colors, while fusions will show them merged into a single signal. A dual color mix can also serve as a control/CNV combination, with the control localizing to the same chromosome as the CNV probe to verify that it's hybridized to the correct locus.

SESSION TITLE: Pulmonary Rehabilitation Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: Entrainment of the breathing rhythm to that of the rhythm of limb movement during exercise has been shown to reduce oxygen consumption. Pursed-lip breathing (PLB) has also preventable effects against hypoxemia. This study examined the effect of entrained PLB on walking induced hypoxemia in patients with obstructive lung diseases.
METHODS: Ninety patients (77 men, 13 women; mean age, 75.0 ± 8.3 (SD) years) with obstructive lung disease (mean %FEV1; 57.4 ± 22.5% predicted, COPD; 73, BA; 6, Bronchiectasis; 4, CPFE; 7) who were referred to outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation clinic were studied. All patients were in a clinically stable condition. At first, PLB alone, and then, entrained PLB with walking, were instructed by a physiotherapist to the patients. Before and after this instruction, the walking was tested at patient's own rhythm and speed. During the walking test, SpO2 and dyspnea (Borg CR10) were monitored. Patients were advised to stop walking when they had SpO2 less than 88% or severe dyspnea (scale 5 in Borg CR10).
RESULTS: Before the instruction, SpO2 decreased from 95.4 ± 1.5% to 91.0 ± 2.9% (p<0.0001) and CR10 increased from 0.4 ± 0.6 to 2.0 ± 1.7 (p<0.0001) after the walk. After the instruction of PLB alone, the change in SpO2 and dyspnea improved from -4.4 ± 2.1% to -3.1 ± 2.5% (p<0.0001) and 1.9 ± 1.7 to 1.8 ± 1.5. After the instruction of the entrained PLB, further improvements were observed: the changes in SpO2 and dyspnea were 1.9 ± 1.7 % and 1.2 ± 1.3 (p<0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Entrained PLB possibly prevented walking induced desaturation and dyspnea.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Entrained PLB with walking might be useful as a rehabilitation program to improve patients with walking induced hypoxemia and/or dyspnea.

Symbolic meaning of number thirteen is surrounded with controversy. Is it lucky? Unlucky? Only you can decide for yourself this post and my other more detailed page on thirteen may help you with your decision.
For those of you who want fast, quick references, the following attributes have been associated with the number thirteen:
This snapshot of meanings comes from a variety of different sources.
Its primary claim to foreboding fame is the number thirteen's association with the Last Supper in Christian history. There were thirteen people present at this gathering, the Christ and his twelve disciples.
In France the number thirteen referred to as le point de Judas, to mark Judas's betrayal of Christ. This term also suggests an omen as Judas was the first to leave the table at the Last Supper, and also the first to die. Also in France it is still the practice to hire a quartorzieme, or a fourteenth guest to a dinner party if only thirteen were in the original total. This is said to assure a problem-free event.
The letter "m" is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and was said to bring bad luck because it is the beginning and end of the word mem which means death.
Interestingly, the number thirteen is assigned to the Death card in the Tarot deck. Here the number takes on a meaning of transition, surrender, and recycling. More information on this can be found on the number thirteen death card page.
On a more positive note, the number thirteen is sacred and honored in ritualistic practices in many Native American tribes.
The Aztecs also hold the number thirteen sacred and divided their week into thirteen days. Each day is ruled by a god. The thirteenth day is ruled by Tezcatlipoca, who represents: Mystery, Psyche, Illusion and Magic.
Similarly, within ancient European cultures as well as earth-based religions it is well known there are thirteen moons in a year. Here the thirteen is aligned with all the associations of the moon: Emotion, Cycles, Intuition, Mystery, Devotion, and Influence.
It is also seen as a sign of good fortune in ancient Greece where it is associated with the Zeus because he is the thirteenth and most powerful of Greek gods.

What Does Zinc Rich Primer Mean?
A zinc rich primer is a chemical substance that contains high concentrations of the silver-white metal zinc. Zinc rich primers are used by many industries as a preparatory coating to protect iron or steel substrates against corrosion.
Corrosionpedia Explains Zinc Rich Primer
Zinc rich primers are unique from regular primers because they contain zinc, and therefore possess highly sacrificial anodic properties. High concentrations of zinc dust act sacrificially when in direct contact with steel by providing cathodic protection and galvanizing properties.
Galvanizing is a corrosion protection process for steel or iron, in which the substrate is coated with zinc to prevent it from rusting. The galvanization process entails immersing a clean, oxide-free iron or steel object into molten zinc, which then forms a zinc coating that is metallurgically bonded to the object's surface.
Unlike regular paints that provide protection by generating an impermeable barrier between the metal and atmospheric moisture, zinc rich primers provide cathodic protection.
There are two types of zinc primers: organic and inorganic. Organic zinc rich primers are often used in the form of a moisture cured urethane zinc primer.

Une inévitable solitude: Varlam Chalamov et la tradition idéologique
AN INEVITABLE LONELINESS: VARLAM SHALAMOV AND THE IDEOLOGICAL TRADITION / This paper explains the reasons for the painful return of Shalamov to the Muscovite world, and analyses the various conflicts he had to face, regarding both his new and his former, detention, comrades. In this way, we can understand the impact that his first arrest in 1929 had on the construction of his existential model as well as on his aesthetic choices. Among these choices, can be considered his loyalty regarding politics and poetic engagement for the generation of 1920s, as he had interpreted it. On this basis, this paper investigates a number of ways of interpreting literary history made possible by some recent finds concerning the Shalamov's biography, and analyses the rupture between Shalamov and Solzhenitsyn.
Key words: painful return; politics and poetic engagement; generation of 1920s; Shalamov's archives


Real-time Optimal Drilling Parameter Recommendations
Limit unnecessary trips in and out of the hole, maximize ROP, and reduce bit wear. All in real-time.
Safer and More efficient Drilling
QDrill recommends the optimal drilling parameters and provides updated formation tops – all in real-time. The formation properties can be delivered at the bit or ahead of the bit to give drilling engineers the necessary lead time to make proper decisions.
A Hub for Optimal Drilling Parameters
QDrill provides a closed-loop system that provides real-time optimal drilling parameters to drillers. After sifting through historical drilling data, our data scientists have developed a power machine learning solution that delivers the knowledge of decades of drilling in real-time to the rig.
Maximized - Optimized ROP
QDrill generates real-time unconfined compressive strength (RT-UCS) by processing the data already collected during the drilling process. By comparing trends in RT-UCS and mechanical specific energy (MSE), the software is able to distinguish between changes in formation properties versus energy misapplication leading to drilling dysfunction. Now the driller can maintain or return to the efficient drilling window.

The Magic Square: Patterns That Connect
9 AM PST, Noon ET, 5 PM London (England)
- Starts Feb 5Starts Feb 5
- 49 US dollars$49
- Online Session
120 Minute Zoom Class. In ancient times, Emperor Yu danced a mystic diagram—a magic square—to invoke the power of the Big Dipper constellation. As a result, the great flood waters receded and formed the original rivers and landscape of China. That same magic square is used in martial arts training, in interior alchemy (to create the inner elixir of longevity), and as a formula for I Ching divination. Equally important learning the magic square helps you access a way of being and understanding that is at the root of Taoism, a pre-technological worldview shaped by a deep appreciation of the interconnectedness of all phenomena: as above, so below; what is inside is also outside, or in traditional Taoist terms, Tian Ren He Yi "Heaven and Human Harmonized as One." Class will not be recorded or available for replay.

Why is supranationalism important?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Supranationalism is the idea that countries need to give up some of their sovereignty to larger organizations like the EU. This idea is important only because it is affecting Europe to a large degree.
The EU is, if we take it as one economy, the largest economy in the world. It seems to be moving towards more of a supranational body as it tries to tell countries like Greece what to do with their internal finances. Since the health of European economies affects the whole world, the idea of supranationalism is important to the whole world.

Most travel guides simply call it the "shovel museum," but it's really the Stonehill Industrial History Center. Much more than shovels, curator Greg Galer tells us the collection reveals interesting facts about what we were building and how we built it over the past 200 years.
By the 1870s Ames was the largest shovel manufacturer in the world, making three-fifths of the world's shovels, although even as early as the 1830s and 1840s they struggled to meet the demand for their highly prized products. Ames shovels were the tool of choice in both the California and Australian gold rushes as well as in most major American building projects including the Erie and Panama Canals and most American railroad construction. Ames shovels literally built America.
Above is the Ames Centennial display of 19 silver-plated shovels as prepared for the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Amusingly, they're displayed in the original display case. Inside the vault with the rest of the collection, Galer proudly points out not only the typical shovels we're familiar with, but shovels designed for working coffee beans, 10-foot-long shovels used to dig telegraph pole holes, and tiny trenching shovels used by US troops in WWI and WWII.
But shovels are just a piece of the collection. Deeper in the vault are the business records, blueprints, patents and other materials that offer primary source documentation of America's early growth into an industrial superpower.

Zend Framework 101: Zend_Log
Creating Your First Logger
To begin, I'll show you how to create a basic file-system logger. To achieve this we must instantiate the
Zend_Log class, then add a writer to this object. We will use a writer that writes log messages to the file system.
The class we use to write log messages to the file system is
Zend_Log_Writer_Stream. This class accepts the path where the log messages should be written to as the first argument to the constructor.
Listing 1 shows an example of creating the logger and adding the writer to it. You can either add the writer when instantiating
Zend_Log (such as
new Zend_Log(new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream(...))), or as shown in the following listing.
require_once('Zend/Log.php'); require_once('Zend/Log/Writer/Stream.php'); $logger = new Zend_Log(); $writer = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream('sample.log'); $logger->addWriter($writer); $logger->log('sample message!', Zend_Log::INFO);
The above listing concludes by calling the log() method on the
Zend_Log object. This records a message to the log. Listing 2 shows an example of how the log file appears after this code is run.
$ cat sample.log 2009-04-11T14:47:20+09:00 INFO (6): sample message!
In the next section I'll cover the recording of events in greater detail.

Brigadeiro is a simple Brazilian chocolate fudge candy created in the 1920s. It is named after Brazilian airman Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes. It's commonly served with soda, coffee or milk.
 1. In a heavy saucepan, mix the milk, cocoa powder and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate.
 2. Put over low heat and stir constantly to avoid formation of lumps.
 3. Continue stirring for 10-12 minutes, or until you are able to see the bottom of the pot for one second when you scratch it side-to-side with the spoon. (caution: the more you cook, the harder the resulting candy will be - it may vary from liquid fudge to hard candy)
 4. Allow to cool.
 5. Butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls (around 2cm in diameter) and roll them over the chocolate sprinkles.
(should you accidentally get hard candy, fill the pot with water and leave to rest - the candy will dissolve completely and the pot will be easy to clean)
You can substitute the cocoa powder for 100g of baking chocolate. If you want a lighter candy use powdered chocolate (such as Nestlé Quick). You can also put raisins or nuts in the center of the candy. You can decorate with powdered sugar instead, or cocoa powder.
Brazilian brigadeiros also have gourmet varieties. Some references are available in specialized houses in Brazil: Maria Brigadeiro and Brigadeiríssimo and Brigadeiro Gourmet

Aerial images of marsh plant communities reveal information that is not possible to obtain from ground level. High resolution aerial photographs display fine details of vegetation composition and distribution. Since 2006, The Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute has employed balloon photography to capture images of marsh and landfill surfaces. These images are a key resource for MERI scientists working to improve the Hackensack River marshland ecosystem.
High resolution images are captured using consumer grade cameras at altitudes between 150 to 300 feet. The current camera being flown is a 14.3 megapixel Canon G1X. The state of the art camera rig attaches the camera to an inflated 3 meter balloon. The balloon is tethered to a reel operated from the ground. This setup is cost efficient, easily deployable, and is highly mobile.
The high resolution images are assembled into a mosaic of the surveyed area which can encompass many acres. Individual images are stitched together using Adobe Photoshop. The mosaic is then geo-referenced using known geographic feature locations within the site. These mosaics are used to ground truth high-resolution hyperspectral image classifications. They are also used to identify training sites from satellite images and to develop spectral libraries for vegetation classification. Current applications of balloon photography include:
- Monitoring of plant establishment in closed landfill sites
- Mapping invasive species distribution
- Mapping endangered plant populations thought the district

Development of a novel intraoral measurement device to determine the biomechanical characteristics of the human periodontal ligament.
- Drolshagen, Marcel; Keilig, Ludger; Hasan, I.; Reimann, S; Deschner, J.; Brinkmann, K. T.; Krause, Rolf; Favino, Marco; Bourauel, Christoph
- Periodontal diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis have damaging effects on the periodontium and commonly affect the mechanical properties of the periodontal ligament (PDL), which in the end might lead to loss of teeth. Monitoring tooth mobility and changes of the material properties of the PDL might help in early diagnosis of periodontal diseases and improve their prognosis. It was the aim of this study to develop a novel intraoral device to determine the biomechanical characteristics of the periodontal ligament. This includes the measurement of applied forces and resulting tooth displacement in order to investigate the biomechanical behaviour of the periodontium with varying loading protocols with respect to velocity and tooth displacement. The developed device uses a piezoelectric actuator to apply a displacement to a tooth''s crown, and the resulting force is measured by an integrated force sensor. To measure the tooth displacement independently and non-invasively, two magnets are fixed on the teeth. The change in the magnetic field caused by the movement of the magnets is measured by a total of 16 Hall sensors. The displacement of the tooth is calculated from the movement of the magnets. The device was tested in vitro on premolars of four porcine mandibular segments and in vivo on two volunteers. The teeth were loaded with varying activation curves. Comparing the force progression of different activation velocities, the forces decreased with decreasing velocity. Intensive testing demonstrated that the device fulfils all requirements. After acceptance of the ethical committee, further testing in clinical measurements is planned.

Justin Gaethje ● The Dominance of The Wrestler Base In MMA
Mindsmash is back with another intriguing analysis and question of why are wrestlers so dominant in MMA? Let's begin by taking a look at the players dominating in the sport. What is it about wrestling that makes it so powerful as an important discipline, when stringing together the rest of your arsenal? It's intent, as a sport and the philosophy it uses to execute that intent. So what is its intent?
"To Gain and Maintain a Superior Position"
This does two things. Using techniques to gain a superior position over the opponent. So that a fighter can hit you and you cannot hit them. With fighters like Tyron Woodley or Cody Garbrandt. Who can use their wrestling to keep the fight on the feet and away from the other fighters strengths. Which could, for instance, be Jiu Jitsu. That is why wrestling is so strong.
Wrestling is essentially a tool to inhibit the other opponent from using theirs, forcing you to play into their World. In MMA it may look a little different. But it's intent, its philosophy remains the same. Using explosiveness and technique to maintain a superior position over you.
Explosiveness is another key point we have to note. The explosive training regiment. Wrestling doesn't have as many techniques as Jiu Jitsu. Yet it is still very much a game of chess, a game of the mind. Mass times acceleration equals force. The faster you move your mass, the more force you will deliver.
Justin Gaethje is the newest athlete to sign with the UFC and he brings that same wrestling base with him. Gaethje was an NCCA division one All America wrestler. Who transitioning to MMA throughout college under the tutelage of Trevor Wittman. How will his skill set translate into the elite divisions of the UFC. With a fight of the year contender win over Michael Johnson, he's off to a great start. Let's deconstruct the overall philosophy they are using.

O Sorb is also known as Oxygen Scavengers or Oxygen Absorbent. Commonly used in food packagings such as pastries and snacks, Oxygen Absorbers are capable of reducing the aerobic environment to 0% oxygen. They prevent changes in the colour of food, prevent oils in food from becoming rancid, and retards the growth of oxygen-using aerobic microorganisms such as fungi. Without any aerobic bacteria and fungi growth, the shelf life of a food product will extend from 1 week to several months.
