Manx Crosses by David Wilson
Manx Crosses: A Handbook of Stone Sculpture 500 – 1040 in the Isle of Man
The carved stone crosses of the Isle of Man of the late fifth to mid-eleventh century are of national and international importance. They provide the most coherent source for the early history of Christianity in the Island, and for the arrival and conversion of Scandinavian settlers in the last century of the Viking Age – a century which produced some the earliest recognisable images of the heroes and gods of the North; earlier, indeed, than those found in Scandinavia. This, the first general survey of the material fro more than a century, provides a new view of the political and religious connections of the Isle of Man in a period of great turmoil in the Irish Sea region. The book also include an up-to-date annotated inventory of the monuments.

Quick Answer: Does Tile Adhesive Colour Matter?
How long after adhesive can I grout?
24 hoursYou should wait at least 24 hours before grouting the tiles.
Don't be fooled by this.
Can I use tile adhesive instead of mortar?
Which cement is best for floor tiles?
but OPC 53 cement have high strength comparison to 43 grade of cement but it is used in RCC work. For tile fixing like flooring tile and wall tiles I recommended go through the use of 43 grade of cement.
Does ready mixed tile adhesive go off?
The shelf life on tile adhesives is usually around 6-12 months, depending on the type of adhesive you are using (ready-mixed or powder). … The reason adhesive has a shelf life is because it might begin to set over time (whether opened or not).
What is the best tile adhesive for large tiles?
Simple! choose a good quality powdered adhesive, preferably a polymer modified one such as granfix fastset flexible. To explain the advice above consider that in general, tile adhesive can be split into 2 types; ready mixed and powdered.
What is the difference between white and GREY tile adhesive?
For this reason white tile adhesive is usually used for fixing wall tiles, as it's more often than not subsequently grouted in a light colour. Using a grey mortar, with possible contaminants, is liable to cause unsightly discolouration to either the porous natural stone or the grouting itself.
How thick should the tile adhesive be?
1. Apply the adhesive to the surface with an appropriate notch trowel: as a general guide use a 6mm notch trowel to achieve a 1mm bed thickness for walls; 10mm notch to achieve an approximate 1.5mm bed thickness for concrete floors; 12mm notch trowel to achieve a 2.5mm bed thickness for timber floors.
Can you put adhesive on tile?
Try not to work on more than one square metre at a time, as the adhesive could start hardening before you've put all the tiles in place. Choose a suitable tile adhesive for your tiles: for ceramic tiles use a ready-mixed tile adhesive or powder adhesive and a powder tile adhesive for porcelain tiles.
What is the difference between tile adhesive and grout?
Tile adhesive and grout is used for bonding and sealing tiles. Tile adhesive is applied first to fix tiles to wall or floor surfaces. Grout, also known as grout sealer, is applied afterwards to fill in gaps and seal tiles by affectively forming a fluid concrete.
Can we mix cement with tile adhesive?
Cement can be used as an adhesive and is used as a base material in many commercial tile adhesive products. Tiles can be laid bonded with adhesive, so cement can be used, however mixing cement and adhesive, as implied in the question, is a matter of trial and error and has questionable merit.
Which adhesive is best for tiles?
MYK LATICRETEMYK LATICRETE® Tile Adhesive is a factory made cementitious dry powder which is mixed with water or special liquid additive to form a paste, providing problem-free, full bedding tile/stone installation. MYK LATICRETE® thin-set adhesives have high bonding strength allowing the tiles to directly fixed to the substrate.
Can I use tile adhesive to level floor?
Thick Bed FlexiRapid is a pourable and flexible rapid setting cement based floor tile adhesive. … It is ideal for fixing tiles of uneven thicknesses, for fixing to uneven surfaces and it can also be used to level uneven floors.
Should you wet tiles before laying?
Why Tiles Are Soaked In Water Before Installation The purpose of soaking tile before laying is to make the pores fully absorb water, so as not to cause hollowing, shedding, or even cracks. … Especially for the wall paving, before the wall tiles laying, it is necessary to sprinkle water on the wall.
How long does tile adhesive take to set?
approximately 24 hoursTile adhesive dries in a way that is very similar to concrete. The substance starts out as a powder and then, when mixed with water, it becomes a substance with a thick consistency. Under normal circumstances, you will need to let it dry for approximately 24 hours after installation before you can walk on the tile.
What is the difference between floor adhesive and wall adhesive?
Although it has worked well for some people, the real answer to this question is no. Unlike floor tile adhesives, you can only use wall tile adhesives for holding tiles on a vertical surface. The floor tile adhesive is strong and can withstand horizontal pressure as people move.
What adhesive will stick to ceramic tile?
Is ready mixed tile adhesive any good?
Ready-mixed is generally easier to use, but it has limitations attached to it. Here at Dunlop, we would never recommend using a ready-mixed product when using porcelain, large-format tiles and tiling floors, or wet areas.
Which is better tile adhesive or cement?
Laying tiles by using tile adhesive with notched trowel requires less amount of material. Adhesive layer is a lot thinner than the mixture of sand-cement, and this leads to lighter load to building structure. A bag of 20 kg tile adhesive can be used to lay tiles on the average area of 4 – 5 m2.
Can I use adhesive instead of grout?
Dispersion adhesive will not be fine used as a grout it will let water pass through it and offer no resistance. the water will then pass in to the sub-straight and start to damage it. if you leave it uncorrected in 6 months time you will have big problems so remove the adhesive and use grout.
Can you lay tile and grout in the same day?
You should wait at least 24 hours before grouting the tiles. You may notice that the edges of the thinset or the thinset showing through the grout lines looks dry. The thinset under the tiles isn't receiving as much air as the edges and is therefor not fully cured.

Its frequently said that PowerShell is so big that no one can know everything about it. I proved that today when I "discovered" a change in PowerShell of which I wasn't aware.
If you create an array:
£> $a = 1,2,3
You can then get the number of members of that array i.e. its length
In PowerShell 1.0 and 2.0 if you tried that on a variable that only held a single value you would get an error when you tried to access the first value:
£> $b = 1
The count property returns nothing
Unable to index into an object of type System.Int32.
At line:1 char:4
+ $b[ <<<< 0]
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (0:Int32), RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotIndex
This changed in PowerShell 3.0 and later
£> $b = 1
You can even try other indices
And just get nothing back rather than an error.
This is really useful as you can now safely test on the Count property and if the value is greater than 1 to determine if its a collection. Alternatively always treat it as a collection and iterate over the number of elements. I can see this simplifying things for me in quite a few situations

What is a test pattern?
It is a picture or pattern that is broadcasted so that the quality of the television picture received can be examined and improved if necessary by using the controls on the equipment.
History of test pattern
During 1939, the Indian Head test pattern was developed for testing. It often appeared just before the broadcasting started in the morning and just after the broadcast ended at night. The Indian head image was integrated into lines and patterns which was used for calibrating broadcast equipment. This was then later replaced by color bars when in the year 1960 the color television made its debut.
Color test pattern
Color test patterns is the process through which one can recognize patterns using a machine learning algorithm. Pattern recognition can also be defined as the classification of data based on information already gained on statistical information that is taken from patterns and their representation. One of the important aspects of pattern recognition is the application potential.

We have investigated local element distributions in a Dy-doped Nd2Fe14B hot-deformed magnet by atomic-column resolution chemical mapping using an X-ray energy-dispersive spectrometer (XEDS) attached to an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (Cscorrected STEM). The positions of the Nd and Dy atomic columns were visualized in the XEDS maps. The substitution of Dy was limited to a surface layer 2-3 unit cells thick in the Nd2Fe14B grains, and the Dy atoms preferentially occupied the 4f-Nd sites of Nd2Fe14B. These results provide further insights into the principal mechanism governing the coercivity enhancement due to Dy doping.

Variable Names
Valid Names
A valid variable name starts with a letter, followed by letters, digits, or underscores. MATLAB® is case sensitive, so A and a are not the same variable. The maximum length of a variable name is the value that the namelengthmax command returns.
You cannot define variables with the same names as MATLAB keywords, such as if or end. For a complete list, run the iskeyword command.
Examples of valid names:Invalid names:
Conflicts with Function Names
Avoid creating variables with the same name as a function (such as i, j, mode, char, size, and path). In general, variable names take precedence over function names. If you create a variable that uses the name of a function, you sometimes get unexpected results.
Check whether a proposed name is already in use with the exist or which function. exist returns 0 if there are no existing variables, functions, or other artifacts with the proposed name. For example:
exist checkname
ans =
If you inadvertently create a variable with a name conflict, remove the variable from memory with the clear function.
Another potential source of name conflicts occurs when you define a function that calls load or eval (or similar functions) to add variables to the workspace. In some cases, load or eval add variables that have the same names as functions. Unless these variables are in the function workspace before the call to load or eval, the MATLAB parser interprets the variable names as function names. For more information, see:

Although Pepsi Logo and Korean flag look similar nowadays, but they are originated differently, and by tracing the chronology, we can see they are originated from different concept:
Here is the Pepsi logo chronology:
Here is South Korean flag chronology:
(note the dramatic flag changes during the world war period (1910~1945) because Korea was conquered by Japan at that time)
As we can see, Pepsi's original logo design include a wave-like pattern and adapts 3 colors (red, white and blue) with letters in the middle. And the symbol later on being simplified by taking out the letters.
On the other hand, Korean flag is based on the simplified concept of Taichi and Bagua from ancient Chinese culture. And the white color is not an element in the flag center.
:D So next time would you think of South Korea when you drink Pepsi?

Let$\:$ $T=\{\varphi \in \Pi_1: PA+Con(PA) \vdash \varphi\:\:and\:\: PA\nvdash \varphi \}$. $\:$By the facts presented here Are undecidable consequences of Con recursively enumerable? by Andreas Blass and Emil Jerabek, we know that:
$(1)$ $T$ is $\Pi_1$-hard.
However it seems we can also prove that
$(2)$ $Cn(PA+Con(PA)) = Cn(PA+T)$
Let $\varphi$ be such that $PA+Con(PA) \models \varphi$. Obviously $Con(PA) \in T$, therefore trivially $PA+T \models \varphi$.
In the other direction, let $\varphi$ be such that $PA+T \models \varphi$. Since this is a first-order theory, by completeness and compactness we can infer that in the proof of $\varphi$ from $PA+T$ we use finitely many formulae, namely: $\phi_1, \phi_2, \dots \phi_n$. All of them either belong to $PA$ or belong to $T$ or can be inferred from $PA+T$. In particular they are implied by $PA+Con(PA)$. If so, they can be used in the proof of $\varphi$ form $PA+Con(PA)$, so $PA+Con(PA) \models \varphi$.
But from the work of Jeroslow _URL_ (Corollary 4) we find out that:
$(3)$ $Cn(PA+\{\varphi \in \Pi_1: \mathbb{N} \models \varphi \})$ is not $\Delta_2$
Since $(1)$ and due to the fact that the set above (I mean: $\Pi_1 \cap Th(\mathbb{N})$) has got its own truth definition and is $\Pi_1$ we infer that it is reducible to $T$.
So it seems that $Cn(PA+T)$ should also be "hard" and "not learnable" (in the sense of not being $\Delta_2$ ).
However we also know that $Cn(PA+Con(PA))$ is $\Sigma_1$. Since $(2)$ however $Cn(PA+T)$ is the same set of formulae.
So my question is: did I make any mistake in the reasoning above and one of $(1)$, $(2)$, $(3)$ is false or it can be the case that when we close some "hard" set up logical consequence, we can get an "easier" set. If so, the question is: how come?
share|improve this question
I don't see any mistakes. A good chunk of the complexity of T comes from excluding certain sentences; specifically, those sentences provable in PA. But adding PA and then closing under consequence restores those sentences. That's why the complexity decreases. – Dan Turetsky Jun 5 '13 at 23:48
Thanks. You're right, but let's look at the theory I mentioned: PA+(Set of true Pi_1-sentences) which closed under consequence gives us nonlearnable theory. I don't "see", how - having a computable reduction of Set of true Pi_1-sentences to the set T- we obtain theories with different complexities? – mtg Jun 6 '13 at 0:15

The $\Pi_1$-hardness of $T$ comes from the clause $PA\not\vdash\varphi$. But when you consider $Cn(PA+T)$ its influence vanishes.
As $$T\subset Cn(PA+Con(PA))$$ we have $$Cn(PA+T)\subseteq Cn(PA+Cn(PA+Con(PA)))=Cn(PA+Con(PA)).$$ On the other hand $Con(PA)\in T$ therefore $Cn(PA+Con(PA))\subseteq Cn(PA+T)$.
Thus we have the equality $Cn(PA+T) = Cn(PA+Con(PA))$ indeed.
This also does not contradict Jeroslow's results as in $PA+\Pi_1(\mathbb{N})$ there are all $Con(X)$ (not just $Con(PA)$) and which is a sourse of complexity of this theory.
It is not very suprising that Cn operator can decrease the complexity of a set of sentences - you can always add a negation of a sentence of any given set to obtain an inconsistent theory i.e. primitive recursive. But it is a nice example how it can decrease it to something higher than just PR.

One of the most widespread approaches to reactive planning is Schoppers' universal plans. We propose a stricter definition of universal plans which guarantees a weak notion of soundness not present in the original definition. Furthermore, we isolate three different types of completeness which capture different behaviours exhibited by universal plans. We show that universal plans which run in polynomial time and are of polynomial size cannot satisfy even the weakest type of completeness unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses. However, by relaxing either the polynomial time or the polynomial space requirement, the construction of universal plans satisfying the strongest type of completeness becomes trivial.

Riemann Sums for Functions of Two Variables
Visualize and calculate a Riemann sum for a real–valued function of two real variables. The x and y axes are partitioned into subintervals of equal width. Set the point on each subrectangle where the function is evaluated to determine the height of the rectangular solid constructed over that subrectangle.
This Demonstration is meant for students of multivariable calculus. It illustrates the concept of a Riemann sum for a real–valued function of two real variables. Choose one of four functions. Then you can freely select a uniform partition of either the x or y axis into 5, 10, 20, or 40 parts. You may also select the point on each subrectangle at which the function is evaluated (to determine the height of the rectangular solid to be constructed over that subrectangle). Initially, the function is evaluated at the center. This feature is included to show that as the partition becomes finer, the choice of this point becomes less consequential, suggesting that in the limit it simply does not matter.

Ginseng Rush in Minnesota
Lass, William E
This article discuses the history of the ginseng "boom" that took place in Minnesota, including the lower Minnesota River Valley, in the late 1850s. the gathering of wild ginseng root for sale to markets in China was a major economic activity for the region, and helped to mitigate the impact of a financial depression following the bank failures of the Panic of 1857. Ginseng became known as the "weed that saved Minnesota." The author also describes the ginseng market following its boom period, and the shift form wild to cultivated ginseng in the early twentieth century.

Data Science Studio can both read and write datasets directly on FTP servers.
DSS also features a cached FTP dataset which can provide better performance if you only need to read a FTP file and don't mind the copy of the data which is made locally.
A cached FTP dataset will still check the FTP server for updates when it is rebuilt.
Defining the remote FTP connection¶
Accessing remote files stored on FTP servers first requires the definition of a connection to the remote server, as follows:
- Go to Administration > Connections
- Click the "New connection" button and select the FTP connection
- Enter a name for the new connection, and the required connection parameters
- Save the new connection
FTP connection parameters¶
|Host||Host name or IP address of the FTP server to access (Mandatory)|
|User||FTP username to use, or empty for an anonymous FTP connection|
|Password||FTP password to use, or empty for an anonymous FTP connection|
|Use passive mode||Check to use FTP "passive" data transfer mode (default). Using FTP passive mode is often mandatory when there is a firewall between the Data Science Studio server and the FTP server.|
|Path||Path to the remote folder to use once connected to the FTP server.
Start with a
|Writable||Check to allow DSS to write datasets on this server.
Those datasets will be written in a subfolder or the
|Allow managed||Check to allow DSS to write
managed datasets on this server.
|Use global proxy||When checked, use the global proxy for this connection. Uncheck this if the FTP server is directly accessible. If you have an HTTP proxy, passive mode is mandatory.|
Defining a FTP Dataset¶
After setting up a FTP connection, simply add a new dataset to your project, choosing the "Uncached FTP" type. Select your FTP connection.
If necessary, specify a path (subpath of the connection's path if it is not empty) or click "Browse" and select a file or directory.
If the final path a directory, the data is the union of all the data in all the files in that directory (including sub-directories). The sample displayed will only present data from the first non-empty file.
Use the FTP dataset for writing¶
Two cases are supported:
- In a folder:
- the data will be written in possibly multiple files
- the content of the folder is wiped before writing
- writing a managed dataset requires a directory
- In a file:
- you must create the file beforehand (it may be empty)
- the file is emptied before writing


The story of York Barbell all begins with one man, Bob Hoffman. Hoffman first began lifting and making weights in his oil burner factory in York, PA in 1929. The athletic club at that factory quickly took up weightlifting until eventually it would be the main staple of the club. The name was then changed to the York Barbell Club and attracted musclemen from all over the world into the little town of York.
During the 1932 Olympic Games the United States showed an extremely poor performance in weightlifting. Shortly after this Hoffman began promoting weightlifting heavily and began publishing his own magazine on the topic. From this effort stemmed new interest in the sport and the first US victory in weightlifting since 1904 in the 1936 Olympic Games. The winner, it just so happened, was a member of the York Barbell Club.
Two years later Hoffman sold off his interest in the oil burner company and in 1938 York Barbells began its concentration on weightlifting equipment. The interest caused by this company is part of the reason that by the late 40's York was known as "Muscletown."
After over a half-century York Barbell is still the industry standard in weights. The York name appears on more barbells than any other name in the world and is currently the only Olympic certified United States based manufacturer of weights.

How Cane Sugar is Made - Extraction
There are several important aspects to extraction which involve the energy balance of the factory, the efficiency of extraction and therefore ultimately the profitability of operations:
- The manager needs to process the cane as soon as possible if sugar losses are to be avoided yet needs to have a sufficient supply in storage for times when cutting and transport are stopped, whether deliberately or not. Typically, cane is processed within 24 hours of cutting;
- Cane preparation is critical to good sugar extraction, particularly with diffusion extraction. This is achieved with rotating knives and sometimes hammer mills called "shredders". However shredding requires extra energy and more equipment;
- The extraction is actually conducted as a counter-current process using fresh hot water at one end being pumped in the opposite direction to the cane. The more water that is used, the more sugar is extracted but the more dilute the mixed juice is and hence the more energy that is required to evaporate the juice;
- The more accurately that the mills are set [adjusted], the drier is the residual fibre and hence the less sugar remaining in the fibre;
A typical mixed juice from extraction will contain perhaps 15% sugar and the residual fibre, called bagasse, will contain 1 to 2% sugar, about 50% moisture and some of the sand and grit from the field as "ash". A typical cane might contain 12 to 14% fibre which, at 50% moisture content gives about 25 to 30 tons of bagasse per 100 tons of cane or 10 tons of sugar.

Development of an interpreting service model at the Durban University of Technology
Makhubu, Rosethal Loli
MetadataShow full item record
This research deals with the development of a model of interpreting services for a newly merged multilingual University of Technology, the Durban University of Technology. The rationale for the study was the urgent need to give students whose mother tongue is not the medium of instruction (i.e. English) equity of access to higher-degree education. The research was carried out within a critical realist approach, which seeks to transform society by practical application of theory. Unlike previous studies in interpreting, this research focuses on the service provision aspect of interpreting. It falls within the field of educational interpreting, but goes beyond the classroom situation in considering other university interpreting needs, such as seminars and in-house conferences, graduation and other ceremonies, operational meetings and labour-related meetings. Franck‟s modelling process was used to formulate a theoretical model of the interpreting service delivery mechanism using data gathered during visitations to local and international universities. The theoretical model, or system of essential functions, was used to arrive at the applied aspect of the mechanism, termed an empirical model of interpreting service delivery. The model was then validated in terms of its application in various contexts at the Durban University of Technology. It is suggested that the theoretical and practical models developed have application not only for educational interpreting, but also in other interpreting contexts. The models are also considered to have relevance for service delivery in general, which is a critical issue at present in South Africa.

Hey, this is a combination of the GSON parser as well as the json specification.
If you leave the 'Strings' absent from the JSON payload, then they will resolve to 'null' on the Client, however this will not work with 'Integers', with will default to 0. It looks like GSON treats all numbers as 'int's, which cannot be null.
As a workaround, if you need null values for numbers, you can either add a boolean flag to indicate if a value has been set 'doorsSet: false', or you can treat all numbers as Strings and then do a 'Integer.valueOf(...)' to get the numerical value.

Hello Edward, thank you for your explanation.
My solution is ugly : if(myBean.getField() == 0) myBean.setField(null);
I'm using the Kinvey console to update values in the data store and I want to represent "null" values.
For instance, if I have a "Car" collection with 2 columns : "doors" (integer) and "name" (string).
The json could be :
In the Java bean, we have :
> private Integer doors;
> private String name;
After loading data :
> "doors" is an Integer equal to 0
> "name" is a String equal to null
Could you tell me what is the best way to manage null values using the Kinvey console?

Speed Skating at the 1932 Lake Placid Winter Games
1932 Winter Games: Previous Winter Games ▪ Next Winter Games
Host City: Lake Placid, United States
Date Started: February 4, 1932
Date Finished: February 8, 1932
Events: 7
Participants: 42 (32 men and 10 women) from 6 countries
Youngest Participant: CAN Herb Flack (18 years, 220 days)
Oldest Participant: JPN Tomeju Uruma (29 years, 58 days)
Most Medals (Athlete): 4 athletes with 2 medals
Most Medals (Country): USA United States and CAN Canada (5 medals)
Lake Placid had hosted its first major speed skating competition in 1919, with the Eastern Outdoor Championships, won by local skater Charlie Jewtraw, who went on to become Olympic Champion in the 500 m at the inaugural Winter Olympics in 1924. Since then, many records had been set on the ice of the town's Mirror Lake. For the 1932 Games, a $150,000 stadium was built with a capacity of 5,000. A hockey rink was placed in the centre of the track, and matches were played between and during skating races.
Only six countries entered the speed skating events: Canada, Finland, Japan, Norway, Sweden and the host nation. However, the economic depression was not the only reason for the small number of participants. On 25 May 1931, the International Skating Union (ISU) had approved the use of the North American "pack style" system for international tournaments, as had been proposed by the American and Canadian federations. This style featured competitors starting in small groups, not unlike modern-day short-track speed skating. This meant races were decided on tactics, rather than time alone, as is common in the "Continental" style.
Quintuple Olympic Champion and reigning World Champion Clas Thunberg had experienced the North American rules first hand in 1926, and knew the North American tactics were superior. According to his auto-biography, he sent a private letter to the Norwegian federation, suggesting an alliance, but the Norwegians rejected this. (It should be pointed out, that Thunberg's biography was entitled Alone against all of Norway.) He then decided to stay away from Lake Placid, too. Both Sweden and Finland eventually sent only a single skater, compared to four skaters from Japan, which made its Olympic speed skating debut. The Dutch federation decided not to send a delegation because they did not think their skaters would stand a chance under the mass-start rules. The Norwegians did go, and even held special trials in the North American format. In the 10000 m race, Ivar Ballangrud skated 16:46.4, which was well below the current World Record of 17:17.4.
Thunberg's fear of North American domination proved correct, as US skaters won all four events, and only two medals were not taken by Americans or Canadians. In addition, controversy surrounded the events. Obstructions and violations of the rules were noted in all events, culminating in a four-country protest before the start of the 10000 m. During that competition, the results of the heats were annulled and eventually re-skated. European skaters and media spoke of a farcical affair, all skating events being decided in the last laps, regardless of the distance. The New York Times commented:
> "It was Mark Twain who once remarked that 'people often complain about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it'. In like fashion, the Europeans have been complaining about the American style of speed skating, but no one has offered a real solution."
Two-fold Olympic Champion and local boy Jack Shea suggested that a compromise might be reached by conducting the sport in several lanes, like in athletics. Nothing ever came of his suggestion.
Two weeks after the Olympic skating races, the World Championships were held at the same rink. In the absence of Olympic champions Shea and Jaffee, the Norwegians won all four individual races and the first three overall places, while the North Americans were well down in the standings. At the next ISU congress, the use of North American rules in international competitions was removed from the rule book.
Amidst all the controversy, female skaters made their Olympic debut. Three events for women had been added to the program as demonstration events, following the ISU's 1931 recognition of female skating records over 500, 1000 and 1500 m. Only American and Canadian women participated, but the races were of a high level. Winners [Jean Wilson], [Elizabeth Dubois] and [Kit Klein] posted times faster than the active World Records. Because these events were held in pack style, their times were never recognised as records. There were 10 female competitors in the events, five from Canada and five from the United States. Women would not compete in Olympic speedskating again until 1960, when it became a full medal sport.

Each extra jump has a certain type, dictated by the accessory or mount. Jumps of the same type will not stack with each other but will stack with other types, allowing for more than two consecutive jumps. For example, equipping a Cloud in a Bottle and a Tsunami in a Bottle will grant two additional jumps, while combining a Cloud in a Bottle with a Cloud in a Balloon will only grants one extra jump. Each type displays a unique particle effect when used, which always occur in the same order: Summoned mount's jump first, followed by Sandstorm, Blizzard, Fart, Tsunami, and Cloud.
An extra jump uses the same jump speed as the base jump but with different a different jump duration. For example, with default jump speed, a sustained jump from a Sandstorm in a Bottle lasts 3 times longer than a base jump, reaching a maximum height of 21.18 tiles, which is an increase of 238% compared to the base jump reach of 6.27 tiles.
Accessories[edit | edit source]
Extra jumps are granted by the five types of bottle accessories and their upgrades, listed in the following table. As described above, while it is possible to stack multiple jumps of different types (i.e. different rows), it is not possible to stack multiple jumps of the same type (i.e. within the same row).
|Cloud||75%||11.46 tiles (+82.78%)|
|19.97 tiles (+218.5%)|
|Blizzard||150%||14.7 tiles (+134.45%)|
|25.69 tiles (+309.73%)|
|Sandstorm||300%||21.18 tiles (+237.8%)|
|37.15 tiles (+492.5%)|
|Fart||200%||16.86 tiles (+168.9%)|
|29.51 tiles (+370.65%)|
|Tsunami||125%||13.62 tiles (+117.22%)|
|23.79 tiles (+279.43%)|
Mounts[edit | edit source]
There are four mounts that allow an additional jump mid-air.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Jumping underwater with Flippers will count as an extra jump, preventing that jump from being used after breaching the water's surface.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- Extra jumps can be used shortly before hitting the ground to reset fall damage.
- The maximum total jump reach from a sextuple jump (obtainable e.g. by equipping a Bundle of Balloons, a Fart in a Balloon, and a Sharkron Balloon) is 92.35 tiles (+1372.89%). This can be further increased by equipping some of the boosting accessories: With the Soaring Insignia, a Frog Leg, the Amphibian Boots, and the Moon Lord Legs, the maximum total jump reach from a sextuple jump would be 301.1 tiles (+4702.23%).
Footnotes[edit | edit source]
- In relation to jump duration of the first jump.
- Assuming gravity is default, no other boosts are in effect, only the jump type from the respective row is used, and the second jump is activated immediately after the first one is completed. The increase in percent is referring to the increase from base jump reach (6.27 tiles).
- In relation to jump duration of the first jump with the mount.

A Meito is a blade of exceptional quality and worldwide fame.
There are many blades (swords, spears, etc.) in this world...but there are certain ones that were made by world-renowed blacksmithes. The 12 Supreme Grade Swords, the 21 Great Grade Swords, and the 50 Skillful Grade Swords.
— Tenguyama Hitetsu on the classes of Meitos.
Meitos are famous bladed weapons of high quality and superior craftsmanship. They are prized by many for their immense cutting power and exceptional durability that makes them far superior to ordinary weapons.
Meitos are considered priceless items, being worth millions, or even tens of millions of bellies. Some of them are family heirlooms, or even a country's most prized national treasure.
There are currently four known grades of Meito. Supreme Grade, of which there are 12; Great Grade, of which there are 21; Skillful Grade of which there are 50; and Grade, of which there is a currently unknown number.
Shusui, a sword that became a permanent Black Blade.
There is a circumstance where, after countless battles, a swords blade will permanently turn black, thus it will become what is known as a "Black Blade" (黒刀 Kokutō?). Black Blades are stronger than ordinary swords and are well known for their impressive resilience; a dinosaur could step on one and it wouldn't bend at all. It is said that should a swordsman be able to turn their blade into a Black Blade, its grade would increase by a rank.[1]

Translation and Dub Issues
In One Piece, meito is often mistranslated as either part of the name of a sword (e.g. Zoro's Shusui is often recorded by fans as "Meito Shusui" instead of just "Shusui", ignoring the fact that meito is a status) or as a "renowned blade" (understandable given that if broken up, 名刀 gives 名 "renowned" and 刀 "sword").
Meito is translated simply as Famous Sword in the Viz Manga and Legendary Sword in the FUNimation dub.
 - The Meito rankings of the One Piece world heavily resembles the real world Wazamono classified swords.
 - Meito can mean "named sword", although not all swords with names in the series are Meito.
 - With five, Zoro has held the most meito to date.
 - Tashigi's dream is to free all the meito from the hands of criminals such as pirates. She believes the swords are crying because instead of being used for noble and honorable deeds, they are being used for criminal activity.
 - The anime-only character Eric claimed that the wind scythes created from his Kama Kama no Mi powers are as sharp as a meito.[7]

Architecture Images-Sydney Architects
Barnet, James Johnstone (1827 - 1904)
Born: 1827 Scotland. Died: 1904.
James Johnstone Barnet was clerk of works at the University of Sydney _PHONE_. In 1860 Barnet joined the office of the Colonial Architect, becoming its permanent head in 1865 after acting in the position for two years. As Colonial Architect Barnet was responsible for many of Sydney's significant public buildings until his departure in 1890.
|"The greatest of
all Colonial Architects"
James Barnet was born in Scotland and studied drawing, design and architecture in London before he sailed for Sydney with his wife Amy in 1854. He lived all his Australian years in Glebe (Derwent Street in 1865) and Forest Lodge (Braeside, now demolished).
In 1860, Barnet joined the Colonial Architect's Office. In 1865, he became Colonial Architect and served in this position for 25 years. Barnet's work in Sydney signalled its maturation from a Georgian town to a Victorian city. His work contributed to a sense of stability and civic pride and includes :
The Australian Museum (1864)
The GPO in Martin Place (1866-90)
The Colonial Secretary's building (1878)
The Lands Department building (1876-81, 1888-93)
Further afield, Barnet designed 169 post and telegraph offices, 130 courthouses (including the Glebe Courthouse (1889)) and many other public buildings across the state.
Glebe Courthouse with the police station in the background.
Barnet was 'a promoter of new technologies, used concrete and fire-resistant materials, introduced electricity into his buildings and was first to install a telephone in a government office.' Chris Johnson, the current Government Architect, states that Barnet was the Colonial Architect who most significantly affected the shaping of Sydney.
James Barnet has left Sydney a legacy of iconic and much-loved Victorian buildings. He died at Forest Lodge aged 78 on 16 December 1904 and was buried at Rookwood Cemetery.

Example sentences
 - The lions known in parts of Europe and around the Mediterranean in early times were not African but Asiatic lions, rare animals in the 21st century. The name lion came into English from French, and ultimately from Greek leōn. The Anglo-Saxons had used the Latin form Leo, which was overtaken by lion for the animal, but which is still the name of a constellation and sign of the zodiac.
 In ancient Rome lions and other wild beasts provided entertainment in the amphitheatres. Christians and other dissidents were left at their mercy in the arena, a practice behind our phrase to throw someone to the lions. After the terrible slaughter of British soldiers during the First World War, the phrase lions led by donkeys became popular as a way of encapsulating the idea that the men had been brave, but had been let down by their senior officers. It is not clear who first came up with the description, but the French troops defeated by the Prussians in 1871 were described as 'lions led by packasses'. From medieval times until the opening of London Zoo in the 19th century, the Tower of London contained a menagerie of unusual animals, among which were lions. Not surprisingly, they were a great attraction for visitors to the city, and the phrase to see the lions sprang up with the meaning 'to see the sights or attractions of a place'. From there a lion became a celebrity or noted person, a sense which gave us lionize, 'to treat as a celebrity', in the 1830s. See also beard

Formation temperature is one of the most critical parameters in drilling and workover operation and it varies by true vertical depth of wellbore.
The following formula shows relationship between formation temperature and true vertical depth of well.
Formation temperature = (ambient surface temperature ) + (temperature gradient x Well TVD)
Formation temperature in F (Fahrenheit)
ambient surface temperature in F (Fahrenheit)
temperature gradient in F/ft (Fahrenheit / ft)
Well TVD in ft
Example: The temperature gradient in a specific area is 0.015 °F/ft of depth and the ambient surface temperature is 90 °F.
Determine the estimated formation temperature at a TVD of 12,000 ft:
Formation Temperature, °F = 90 °F + (0.015 °F/ft x 12,000 ft)
Formation Temperature, °F = 90 °F + 180 °F
Formation Temperature = 270 °F (estimated formation temperature)
Please find the Excel sheet used for estimating formation temperature.

Why Lego is becoming more and more popular with adults
Lego is becoming more and more popular with adults
Most adults today remember playing with Lego as a kid. Originating in 1949, the simple interlocking plastic bricks took the world by storm and have become one of the most universally cherished children's toys ever created.
What makes Lego so valuable as a children's toy is that it is fuel for a child's imagination, allowing them to build virtually whatever they want, disassemble it, and build something new. However, Lego has transcended over the years to become accepted as something adults love to partake in.
There's no doubt that Lego is becoming a hugely popular hobby for adults. Below, we'll dig a little deeper into the reasons why.
Collecting + building themed sets
While Lego is ostensibly a children's toy product, it's become a huge collector's item with adults. In fact, starting a Lego collection is one of the most popular and easily accessible hobbies out there.
One of the biggest appeals of Lego is the themed sets that have been released.
These sets are similar to model aeroplanes and other hobby products where you follow instructions to create a model for display. Lego sets are very popular due to the fact that they don't require any glue or tools to assemble, you simply follow the instructions with the pieces given to you.
Lego Star Wars. Minifigures Star Wars characters
Lego Star Wars. Minifigures Star Wars characters.
Many Lego sets are of licensed themes from popular cartoons, movies, and video games etc. The most popular examples include Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Batman.
As more and more adults get into building and collecting Lego sets, larger and more elaborate sets have been released over the years. Some of these include scale replicas of famous buildings and vehicles with thousands of pieces that require a long time to build.
Of course, any Lego collector will know about the coveted Lego Millennium Falcon (the iconic ship from the Star Wars movies). The scale-replica set once sold for $15,000 USD in Las Vegas.
While the Las Vegas location and the fact it was an airtight first edition set inflated the value, it remains the highest-selling Lego product ever. The set was commonly sold between $3000 – $5000 before a new version came out in 2017 that devalued it.
Some of the most challenging Lego sets to construct are those that replicate the wonders of the world, and the Taj Mahal is undoubtedly the most treasured one to be released. With a top sale price of $3864.
There are plenty more highly valuable Lego sets out that that vary in terms of scarcity and uniqueness. Lego collecting is very widespread these days.
As mentioned, Lego is an easily accessible collecting hobby that anyone can get involved with. You don't need any special tools or training to be good at it, you just purchase the sets and build them at your leisure.
Promoting wellness
Building Lego is also more than just a hobby for many people and has been used as a way for stressed adults to unwind, and even as a way for seniors to maintain dexterity. The popularity of Lego as a wellness product has increased over the years.
Building Lego
Building Lego is fun and relaxing
Lego is great as a relaxing activity in the same way that cooking or scrapbooking is – it allows you to focus on a short-term goal and keep your hands busy. If you are the kind of person who tends to overthink a lot, then unwinding with a Lego set after work can be a great way to take your mind off the world.
Also working towards little goals in life is something that helps to keep you from falling into a rut. If you have a boring job and not much else is going on in life, then at least building a Lego set is something you can work towards and have control over.
There is also the benefit of Lego keeping people away from TV and computer screens. These days, we spend way too much time in front of screens – Lego helps you disconnect for a little bit and unwind with something tactile that you can control with your hands.
Less stigmatisation
In the past, some adults might have kept their love of Lego a secret for fear of being mocked for playing with a children's toy. However, as society has begun to embrace more tolerant views, only the most shallow and mean-spirited people would make fun of someone for enjoying Lego as an adult.
love of Lego a secret
This shift has also been reflected by the manufacturers of Lego (The Lego Group), with the aforementioned Millennium Flacon and other large sets clearly being marketed at teenagers and adults. With that said, even just building randomly with a box of assorted blocks can be fun for adults who want to distract themselves.
This reduction in stigmatisation is something that can be seen all across society. There are simply fewer expectations surrounding what people can do in their own time as a hobby – everyone is more accepting of things that might have previously been seen as weird.
For example, video games were once only seen as an activity for children or socially-awkward adults. Nowadays, video games are a mainstream form of entertainment enjoyed by virtually everyone.
While collecting Lego as an adult is still a little bit quirky in the grand scheme of things, nobody needs to be ashamed of it.
Of course, Lego is something that was a big part of many childhood's, and there is naturally a big element of nostalgia surrounding it. People yearn to relive their childhood memories more and more, and nostalgia has become a big area of spending for today's adults as they seek to capture a time long past.
Lego reminds people of a more innocent time when all they had to worry about was finding a piece that had rolled away or being ordered to pack up their toys before bedtime. With all the stresses that adults face in the modern world, it's no surprise that many have turned to something like Lego as a form of escapism.
Lego reminds people
At the end of the day, you don't need to dig very deep to understand why Lego has become hugely popular with adults. As a result of this trend, the adult market has become more and more relevant in the eyes of a company that traditionally designed its products for children.
As today's kids are being distracted with smartphones and video games, it's become harder for toy manufacturers to get their products noticed by the demographic they're ostensibly designed for. More and more, adults are becoming the favoured consumers of products that were at one time seen as exclusively the realm of children.
If you're an adult who's eager to revisit Lego, then you shouldn't hesitate to take the leap. There's a wide range of sets out there to suit different budgets and goals, and with the ease of home shipping, you don't have to go into a toy store and pick something off the shelves.
Even if you never played with Lego as a child, you can surely enjoy it as an adult if it interests you. There will undoubtedly be something out there that appeals to you – if you want to build it, go ahead and have fun!

Budget conscious businesses often choose to buy preowned technology rather than always buying new, often buying used assets online. However, what precautions are online marketplace sellers taking with personal data when they post used devices for sale, and how likely is it for new owners to find residual data on preowned technology?
In partnership with Blancco Technology Group, the industry standard in data erasure and mobile device diagnostics, 159 used drives were purchased and evaluated to find out if residual data could be found.
In this webinar, we discuss the results of our research study, including:
- How many of our sampled drives retained data from the previous user
- The type of data we discovered on these previously used drives
- The primary data disposal method that had been usedand what was left undone
- The 4 steps you need to take before selling your IT assets

text: Based on field data collected from 131 small scale dairy farmers that were randomly selected from four agro-ecological zones, this study assessed the potential of adoption of fodder bank technology as a means for improving livestock production and income generation for smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe. Using a logit modelling approach, it also identified the drivers of adoption of the technology by analysing the influence of household characteristics and ecological factors on farmersâ€™ decision to adopt the technology. The model correctly predicted 75% of observed adoption and non-adoption by farmers. Results reveal that dairy herd size, land holding size, membership of dairy association and agro-ecological potential are the key factors influencing farmersâ€™ adoption of fodder bank. Age, sex, household size and educational level of farmers play lesser role. Male and female farmers were equally likely to take up and practice fodder bank if they are given equal access to information and incentives. The study recommends farmer-led extension approaches where farmers who possess certain key characteristics should constitute the initial group for disseminating information regarding the technology in rural communities. The results highlight the importance of access to dairy product markets as a driver for the adoption of fodder banks. It is recommended that forging a strategic partnership with the Dairy Development Programme (DDP) will offer high potential for enhancing the scaling up of the adoption and impact of fodder bank technology in the country.


Woodford Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Woodford Island is an inland island in the Far-North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is formed by the Clarence River where it splits into the South Arm and North Arm at the small village of Brushgrove then reforms at the town of Maclean. The island covers 37 square kilometres.
Woodford Island is mostly flood plain which supports the primary industries of sugar cane and milk producing cattle. There are a few small businesses, however, most residents travel off the island to Maclean or Grafton for goods and services.
People and geography[edit]
Through its almost exact centre is a mountain ridge. The rest is plains which is subjected to periodic flooding. The largest town is Brushgrove at the south of the island.
Woodford Island was one of the first places inhabited by Europeans on the Far-North Coast. Original settler John Small was attracted to the abundance of Australian Redcedar. The town of Brushgrove was once a major trading hub for timber, sugar and other agriculture goods due to its location on the Clarence River. This brought tremendous wealth to area and at one time the island supported many schools, a police station, many businesses and other utilities. However, due to the development of road and train infrastructure, the town has dwindled in size over the past century.

Interesting alleged fact[edit]
It is claimed Woodford Island is the largest inland island in the Southern Hemisphere with its own mountain range.[by whom?]. It is however smaller than many river islands in South America and Africa. It is in fact the largest Non-Delta (not formed from river sedimentation) river island in the Southern Hemisphere.[citation needed]

Assume I have the words A, B and C. In my calculation, occurrences of ABC should have much bigger weight than AB, and occurrences of AB should be much bigger than A.
$W(x,y,z) = P(x)*\frac{1}{111} + P(x,y)*\frac{10}{111} + P(x,y,z)*\frac{100}{111}$
and I apply the context = $\{A, B, C\}$ to function $W$.
$P(x,y)$ means : (number of xy used together) / (count of bigrams)
My question is not about the formula itself, because I have already implemented a much more complicated form of it. However, I cannot write a proper documentation about it. I don't know the math term.
Is there a mathematical term for what $W$ is doing?
"increasing-size-increasing-weight-summing"?

"Weighted average". – user1551 Nov 22 '12 at 21:05
Yes, it is weighted average. However isn't there a special name for that when the number of parameters are increasing? I would say P(x), P(x,y) and P(x,y,z) doesn't have the same class. To me weighted average is more like $P(x)*k + P(y)*l + P(z)*m$ – Ali Ok Nov 23 '12 at 0:43

A multiscale approach to balance trade-offs among dam infrastructure, river restoration, and cost
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Aging infrastructure and growing interests in river restoration have led to a substantial rise in dam removals in the United States. However, the decision to remove a dam involves many complex trade-offs. The benefits of dam removal for hazard reduction and ecological restoration are potentially offset by the loss of hydroelectricity production, water supply, and other important services. We use a multiobjective approach to examine a wide array of trade-offs and synergies involved with strategic dam removal at three spatial scales in New England. We find that increasing the scale of decision-making improves the efficiency of trade-offs among ecosystem services, river safety, and economic costs resulting from dam removal, but this may lead to heterogeneous and less equitable local-scale outcomes. Our model may help facilitate multilateral funding, policy, and stakeholder agreements by analyzing the trade-offs of coordinated dam decisions, including net benefit alternatives to dam removal, at scales that satisfy these agreements.

I am a little confused by the definition of interarrival time, does it mean the time between two successfully sent packets? and by using opnet, I observed that the shorter the interarrival time is, the higher the network load, is that a correct conclusion? Thanks

In short: yes.
Interarrival time is defined as the time between the "start" of two events. (So if you had a network capable of processing two packets at the exact same time, and two packets come in, the interarrival time between those two packets would be zero.)
It sounds like you have some sort of monitoring utility measuring interarrival time. In that case, you should consult the documentation for the tool to see exactly what their definition is and how they calculate it.

Amphibians are small vertebrates that need water or a moist environment in order to survive. The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All of them can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also have special skin glands that are responsible for the production of useful proteins and also help in transport of water, oxygen and carbon dioxide either into or out of the animal. They also help in fighting bacteria or fungal infections and at least one of them is used for defense in each species. To warn their potential predators, it has been observed that the most toxic amphibians are also the brightest in colour. Curare, for example, is found on the skin of colorful poison dart frogs. The larvae are aquatic and free swimming frogs and toads which, at this stage, are called tadpoles. At a certain size, the young develop limbs and lungs. Some of them also lose their tails and eventually hop or climb out of the water as adults and spend the rest of their lives on land. This process is known as metamorphosis. Like reptiles, amphibians are cold-blooded. Because of their special skin, they require very specific living conditions. Too much sun can damage their cells. Too much wind can dry their skin and dehydrate the animal. As a result, amphibians are the first to die off when their habitats are disturbed or contaminated with chemicals like weed killers.

Screams contain a 'calling card' for the vocalizer's identity
"Our findings add to our understanding of how screams are evolutionarily important," says Emory psychologist Harold Gouzoules, senior author of the paper.
By Carol Clark
Human screams convey a level of individual identity that may help explain their evolutionary origins, finds a study by scientists at Emory University.
PeerJ published the research, showing that listeners can correctly identify whether pairs of screams were produced by the same person or two different people — a critical prerequisite to individual recognition.
"Our findings add to our understanding of how screams are evolutionarily important," says Harold Gouzoules, senior author of the paper and an Emory professor of psychology. "The ability to identify who is screaming is likely an adaptive mechanism. The idea is that you wouldn't respond equally to just anyone's scream. You would likely respond more urgently to a scream from your child, or from someone else important to you."
Jonathan Engelberg is first author of the paper and Jay Schwartz is a co-author. They are both Emory PhD candidates in Gouzoules' Bioacoustics Lab.
The ability to recognize individuals by distinctive cues or signals is essential to the organization of social behavior, the authors note, and humans are adept at making identity-related judgements based on speech — even when the speech is heavily altered. Less is known, however, about identity cues in nonlinguistic vocalizations, such as screams.
Gouzoules first began researching monkey screams in 1980, before becoming one of the few scientists studying human screams about 10 years ago.
"The origin of screams was likely to startle a predator and make it jump, perhaps allowing the prey a small chance to escape," Gouzoules says. "That's very different from calling out for help."
He theorizes that as some species became more social, including monkeys and other primates, screams became a way to recruit help from relatives and friends when someone got into trouble.
Previous research by Gouzoules and others suggests that non-human primates are able to identify whether a scream is coming from an individual that is important to them. Some researchers, however, have disputed the evidence, arguing that the chaotic and inconsistent nature of screams does not make them likely conduits for individual recognition.
Gouzoules wanted to test whether humans could determine if two fairly similar screams were made by the same person or a different person. His Bioacoustics Lab has amassed an impressive library of high-intensity, visceral sounds — from TV and movie performances to the screams of non-actors reacting to actual events on YouTube videos.
For the PeerJ paper, the lab ran experiments that included 104 participants. The participants listened to audio files of pairs of screams on a computer, without any visual cues for context. Each pair was presented two seconds apart and participants were asked to determine if the screams came from the same person or a different person.
In some trials, the two screams came from two different callers, but were matched by age, gender and the context of the scream. In other trials, the screams came from the same caller but were two different screams matched for context. And in a third trial, the stimulus pairs consisted of a scream and a slightly modified version of itself, to make it longer or shorter than the original.
For all three of the experiments, most of the participants were able to correctly judge most of the time whether the screams were from the same person or not.
"Our results provide empirical evidence that screams carry enough information for listeners to discriminate between different callers," Gouzoules says. "Although screams may not be acoustically ideal for signaling a caller's identity, natural selection appears to have adequately shaped them so they are good enough to do the job."
The PeerJ paper is part of an extensive program of research into screams by Gouzoules. In previous work, his lab has found that listeners cannot distinguish acted screams from naturally occurring screams.
In upcoming papers, he is zeroing in on how people determine whether they are hearing a scream or some other vocalization and how they perceive the emotional context of a scream — judging whether it's due to happiness, anger, fear or pain.

About CRDS
CRDS is the radical shift Death Studies needs and thereby serves as a source of knowledge for how death practitioners, death care professionals, students and scholars alike can all better understand deathways of people of color and marginalized groups.
Who Are We? We are a collective of Scholars, Funeral Directors, Death Work Practitioners, Activists, and Students of Death Studies who view death work as synonymous with anti-racism work, synonymous with actively dismantling oppression, and as a way to validate cultural and social life among marginalized groups. We are working to achieve the goals of decolonizing death studies in theory and in practice from a variety of angles.
What Is Our Mission? Our mission is to interrogate the field of Death Studies to decolonize and de-center whiteness while calling to radicalize death practices, all in theory and in practice from a variety of angles, i.e. our research, writing, community work, and professional careers.
What Are Our Goals?
 1. To create a Radical Death Canon that can be adapted as a tool by death educators, death scholars, death practitioners, and all those interested in understanding death, dying, and the rituals of care provided from a decolonized perspective.
 2. To increase diversity in death scholarship and conversations–beyond class analysis
 3. Working to analyze how death, mourning, burial, and death investigations have changed over time along the lines of race, class, gender, ability/disability, sexuality
 4. To serve as a resource for a discerned understanding of the end-of-life experience and rituals around death for marginalized people and their communities

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF AUSTRALIA'S AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES?
The 2010-11 Value of Agricultural Commodities Produced (VACP) data were collected as part of the 2011 Agricultural Census.
VACP has three major categories:
Data used in calculating VACP come from multiple sources:
- the value of crop production
- the value of livestock disposals (domestic slaughtering and exports of live animals)
- the value of livestock products (including wool, eggs and whole milk)
VACP is released at different geographical levels:
- Buyers of agricultural commodities. There are many sources including VACP surveys of grain merchants, fruit and vegetable processors, cotton ginners, nurseries and sugar mills.
- Other ABS surveys, such as Livestock and Poultry Slaughtering and Wool Receivals.
- Administrative data sources such as exports data, fruit and vegetable market reports and newspapers.
- Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) and industry sources are used, where available, for comparative purposes.
Frequency of VACP data releases:
- Commodity values are initially released at the state and territory level, and also at national level to give a total recorded agricultural production value. National and state/territory data for 2010-11 were released on 29 June 2012. See: Value of Agricultural Commodities Produced, Australia (cat. no. 7503.0)
- On 9 November 2012 a subsequent release followed at the Statistical Area 4 (SA4) and Statistical Area 2 (SA2) levels of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), the Statistical Division (SD) and Statistical Local Area (SLA) levels of the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC), and the Natural Resource Management (NRM) level.
Format of VACP data releases:
- Data are collected and released annually. VACP preliminary data are generally published within six months of the reference period, at the same time as the preliminary agricultural production data in Principal Agricultural Commodities, Australia (cat. no. 7111.0). Final data follow approximately seven months after preliminary data have been released.
Where to go for VACP data:
- The final estimates publication includes a pdf version of the tables as well as a summary of the various commodities. The tables show the gross and local values of selected commodities on a state by state basis as well as marketing costs. The state and small area level data are released in data cube (spreadsheet) format.

Walking and Dancing: Three Years of Dance in London, 1951-53
Category: Tag:
Take a walk through London and discover where history happened!
In the early 1950s, the 'ballet boom' in Britain was at its height, not only for the country's 'home grown' ballet companies but on the stages where variety, cabaret and musical theatre were performed. Visiting companies brought ballet from America and Europe and national dance styles from around the world.
Between 1951 and 1953 London also hosted some of the most famous celebrations of nationhood of the twentieth century, shaping the image of Britain for decades to come. The Festival of Britain of 1951, the Accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952 and the Coronation of 1953 took place at time when the country was at a juncture between the privations of the 1940s and the more vibrant cultural life of the later 1950s and 1960s.
Using the novel framework of a series of London walks, Larraine Nicholas makes a unique contribution to the current reassessment of this era. Firmly based on primary sources, the walks take readers on imaginative recreations of dance performances within their venues, sometimes in unexpected places, always within the temper of times.
Written for students, dancers and dance audiences, Walking and Dancing is ideal for anyone who fancies stepping outdoors for a self-guided tour of London's vibrant theatrical heritage.

Visiting Applications and Rules for Visiting a Georgia Inmate
Without knowing what to expect, many people are often too intimidated or discouraged to pursue visiting their friend or loved one. Many people shy away from visiting their inmate simply because the process can be overwhelming. Let us help you get through the process. The most common problem when it comes to visiting an inmate, is people don't know where to start. That is why we have assembled answers to the most frequently asked questions and created this general guide to visiting an inmate in Georgia. Here is what you need to know:
- During the initial classification and diagnostic procedure, inmates will not be allowed to have visitors. This process is usually completed fairly quickly, but at times can take over 60 days. If it the diagnostic process goes over 60 days the inmate will be allowed to complete a visitors list of immediate family members.
- Immediate family members are defined as parents, children, spouse, brothers or sisters, grandparents, and grandchildren.
- The offender must contact their counselor and complete a visitation list form. In order to complete this form, the inmate will need to know the full name, address, and date of birth of the visitor.
- If you are not an immediate family member as defined above the inmate will need to complete a significant relationship visitor application form (a sample of the form is found here).
- A visitors list can only be established when the inmate first arrives at their permanent facility. After this, inmates can only update their visiting list in May and November.
- If you are traveling from out of state, or only one time you may qualify as a "special visit". Special visits must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance and require the Warden/Superintendent's approval. People who often qualify for a special visit are members of the military who are visiting while on personal leave, clergy, family members with disabilities that require a third party to drive them to visitation, and anyone traveling a long distance out-of-state. Special visits can have no more than two visitors during the visit.
- Regular visitation occurs on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.
- The duration of the visit will depend on how crowded the facility is, and other factors that may arise.
- Anyone 16 years or older must provide a valid state or government issued photo ID.
- Generally, no items other than your ID, a single car key, and a maximum of $20 in coins can come with you into the facility. All other items, cell phones, radios, cameras etc. are not allowed to come with you.
- If you are traveling with a small child/baby you may be allowed to bring other items such as a single clear plastic baby bottle, diaper, and sealed formula. You will need to contact the individual institution for more specific information.
- Minors or anyone under the age of 16 must bring a birth certificate with them to visitation, and be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also on the visiting list for the inmate.
- All visitors will be searched and must pass through a metal detector. Your car may also be searched once it is on the property of the institution.
When visiting an inmate in Georgia, some additional information you may want to know is:
- You should arrive at the facility at least 30 minutes prior to the visitation period to ensure you have enough time to park and go through visitor registration and processing procedures.
- Non-contact visitation is conducted behind a window, or partition that keeps you physically separate from the inmate.
- Contact visits allow a brief hug and a kiss at the beginning and end of each visit.
- Tobacco-related products are not allowed in visitation, all facilities are smoke-free.
- If you leave the visiting room you may not be allowed to reenter, so use the bathroom in the lobby before entering into visitation.
Dress Code/Contact Rules for Visitors of Georgia Inmates
It is important to know there is a dress code and contact rules that must be followed when you are visiting an inmate in Georgia. The code is strictly enforced by the staff, so be sure you read over and follow all of the following:
- All visitors must wear shoes at all times (excludes babies).
- Men who are visiting must wear a shirt and full-length pants.
- Women may wear full-length pants, dress or skirt, but it must not be more than two inches above the knee.
- All men and women who are visiting must wear underwear, including bras, and panties.
- Some visitors have reported that certain facilities require a collared shirt to be worn by visitors.
- No one over 12 years old may wear shorts.
- No clothing may be sheer or see-through or made of net or mesh webbing.
- Tube tops, tank tops, halter tops, spandex, leggings, any dresses or tops with thin straps that expose the shoulders, chest/cleavage, back, or midriff is also prohibited.
- Clothing that contains offensive language or images may not be worn.
- Uniforms, such as military fatigues, nurse, doctor, or any clothing that resembles what the inmates are wearing is not allowed.

How do I know if a small fish is a minnow?
Q: How do I know if a small fish is a minnow?
A: Not all small fishes are minnows; many are the young of other fish. A number of characteristics serve to separate small fish from true minnows. All minnows have naked heads except during breeding season when mature male develop many hornlike bumps, called tubercles. Some minnows also develop bright colors during breeding season, as suggested by such names as redside dace, redbelly dace, rosyface shiner, red shiner and redfin shiner. A single dorsal fin with fewer than 10 soft rays is characteristic of all native minnows. In carps and goldfish, the dorsal fin has a hard ray and more than 10 soft rays. Minnows lack teeth in their jaws, but have specialized teeth in their throat (pharynx) region. These pharyngeal teeth are useful in identifying the various minnow species.
Minnesota is currently home to 47 different minnow species, according to the Bell Museum of Natural History.
