Subject: [teacherartexchange] tie-dye tissue paper
Does anyone have advice on creating a tie-dye effect using wetted
1. My young students really enjoyed that aspect of "bleeding" tissue
2. We did not use that technique in isolation...felt that it was more
effective if some of the tissue stayed on the paper for texture and
3. Not all tissue brands "bleed"

heat island effect
Higher-temperature 'dome' created over an urban or industrial area by hot air layers forming at building top or chimney top level. This dome is about 5°C to 7°C (about 40°F to 45°F) warmer than air above it and the ground level temperature, and can trap all polluting emissions within its confines. Most noticeable at night and early morning periods, it normally disperses by midday when the ambient temperature increases. See also temperature inversion.

content: map-get($team-rocket-map, brock);
_USER_ {
content: 'Sorry, but team-rocket-map doesn\'t have this key!';
css output.rocket:after {
content: 'Sorry, but team-rocket-map doesn't have the required key!';
It might seem like an overkill, and it probably is. Use this only in complex mixins. Check out the _USER_, _USER_ and _USER_ directives too. And for those who are starstruck with if-else conditional in Sass... Oh yes, you can use it all you want now :)
Sass Map Functions
These are the map functions, as sourced from the SassScript documentation:
map-get($map, $key) : Returns the value in a map associated with a given key.
map-merge($map1, $map2) : Merges two maps together into a new map.
map-remove($map, $keys…) : Returns a new map with keys removed.
map-keys($map) : Returns a list of all keys in a map.
map-values($map) : Returns a list of all values in a map.
map-has-key($map, $key) : Returns whether a map has a value associated with a given key.
keywords($args) : Returns the keywords passed to a function that takes variable arguments.
Keyboard programming
Map Use Cases
How to Loop Through a Map and Generate Classes
We'll create a map plotting Pokemon trainers to their favorite Pokemon.
$trainers: (
ash: pikachu,
misty: magikarp,
brock: onyx
Next, we'll make an each loop that will go through every key and value in a map, and output the keys in a class name, and values into its content!
_USER_ $name, $pokemon in $trainers {
.trainer--#{$name} {
content: $pokemon;
css output.trainer--ash {
content: "pikachu";
.trainer--misty {
content: "magikarp";
.trainer--brock {
content: "onyx";
Multiple Values for Amazeball Buttons Module
Moving on. It's possible to give a key more than one value. This is done by using clippings and entering multiple values with a comma separator. This is a great way to transfer styles for variants of a module, in this example - button.
In our little snippet, the first value will be the background color of the button, the second will be the text color, and finally padding. We will then loop through the keys, and we'll reference the values as a $styles object. We can easily fetch values using nth() function. Let's do this.
$styles: (
error: (red, white, 3rem),
success: (green, white, 2rem),
warning: (yellow, black, 1rem)
.button {
display: inline-block;
background-color: lightgray;
color: darkgray;
padding: 0.5rem;
_USER_ $type, $style in $styles {
$background-color: nth($style, 1);
$font-color: nth($style, 2);
$padding: nth($style, 3);
&--#{$type} {
background-color: $background-color;
color: $font-color;
padding: $padding;
css output.button {
display: inline-block;
background-color: lightgray;
color: darkgray;
padding: 0.5rem;
.button--error {
background-color: red;
color: white;
padding: 3rem;
.button--success {
background-color: green;
color: white;
.button--warning {
background-color: yellow;
color: black;
padding: 1rem'
Handling Layers (z-index)
The infamous z-index. Lots of frontend developers are struggling with it in a sense that they don't have any particular design pattern around it. Usually, z-index is set to 1 if we want a particular layer to be "on top of" something else, 2 if we want another layer to really be "on top of" something else, then 9, then 99, then 9999, then 99999999... and so on. It's easy to get lost. This is where Sass maps can help us.
Let's start with a $layer map. We can name the keys with something meaningful, such as "modal", "tooltip", "offcanvas", and so on.
$layer: (
default: 1,
offcanvas: 100,
dropdown: 150,
modal: 200,
tooltip: 500
Next, we can create a layer function that returns the appropriate z-index, let's say for a dropdown.
_USER_ layer($level) {
_USER_ map-get($layer, $level);
.dropdown {
z-index: layer(dropdown);
Surely, you can skip the function and directly use the map-get() function inside the class, but this way you can use the error handling which we omitted for this example. This is the output:
css output.dropbox {
z-index: 500;
Font Base Styles
A good project has it's own configuration file. One example would be base typography, where you would define base font color, family, size and line height as variables. Perhaps a better way would be to use a map for the said attributes.
$font: (
color: $base-color,
family: (Alegreya, Roboto),
size: 18px,
line-height: 1.6
body {
color: map-get($font, color);
font-family: map-get($font, family);
font-size: map-get($font, size);
line-height: map-get($font, line-height);
Ta daah!
Breakpoints <3
Personal favorite. It's superb to have a place for the breakpoints that are used throughout the project. In this way, similar to the z-index hack, you can have an overview of the breakpoints. Also, you can change the behavior throughout your project by changing only the breakpoints map. You can also easily add new breakpoints, or remove extra ones.
So let's start with a map called $breakpoints.
Our goal is to use breakpoints with implicit names instead of hard pixel values in an element. Because of this, we need a mixin that will output the value of the stated name. I called the mixin "breakpoint" and passed $breakpoints as a parameter. With $type I get the pixel value of the expected breakpoint. First things first, let's create the map.
$breakpoints: (
small: 0,
medium: 640px,
large: 1024px,
xlarge: 1200px,
xxlarge: 1440px
Next, we'll do a mixin called breakpoint, and include the mixin in a.navigation--mobile class like so:
_USER_ breakpoint($breakpoint) {
$breakpoint: map-get($breakpoints, $breakpoint);
_USER_ screen and (min-width: $breakpoint) {
.navigation--mobile {
display: block;
_USER_ breakpoint(medium) {
display: none;
css output.navigation--mobile {
display: block;
_USER_ screen and (min-width: 640px) {
.navigation--mobile {
display: none;
Now I Know Everything, Why Would I Need "Part Two"?
Now that we've covered the basics, there's much more to explore using Sass, but most importantly - you always need to practice. In part two we will use this knowledge, and expand it to a mini project where we'll create simple, colorful, pixelized CSS pocket monsters. Here's a small teaser - all of the drawings will be done with box shadows. Stick around!
Part two is online, you can read it up here!

Numerous physical and chemical changes occur in the products during the baking process. These changes may affect the migration mechanism of water and the drying behaviour of the product. In the present study temperature effects on the drying behaviour of raw thin biscuits of 7x5x0.25 cm dimensions were studied in a laboratory oven by applying constant or linearly decreasing oven temperatures between 100 and 195-degrees-C. With constant oven temperatures a falling rate drying model, and with linearly decreasing oven temperatures a constant rate drying model stimulated these processes. Final moisture contents are one of the major properties determining the shelf life of the biscuits. These models may be used as simple methods for calculating the baking times.


Homemade Dog Toys: A Cost Free And Eco-Friendly Solution for Your Friend
how to make dog toys
Anna Smith
Written by Anna Smith
Toys are an indispensable item in any dog's life especially if he or she is expected to lead a healthy and productive life. By being able to facilitate mental stimulation, toys play a key role in alleviating separation anxiety, discouraging destructive behaviors, boosting social behaviors and encouraging the dog to live a happy and productive life. But when it comes to toy selection, most dog owners usually feel obliged to purchase costly ones instead of looking for other affordable or non-costly alternatives.
Also, due to the hefty price tags on most play items, most owners can only make one or two purchases at a go. But not known by too many people, there is an inexpensive alternative that can assist pet owners in saving tons of cash while achieving the same result as they would have with a new play item.
Apart from being very easy to design, homemade toys are also very cheap to make and at times no costs are incurred as long as the pet owner has all the necessary assemblage parts at his disposal. Furthermore, homemade play items are ideal because they tend to increase the life cycle of various disposables. Hence, they are eco-friendly and a green solution to items that would have normally been discarded as waste. See more homemade goodies in our easy to make DIY dog toys that are inexpensive, as well.
Make a toy for your dog out of socks
Needless to say, the home designed play items are just as effective as purchased play items because they all achieve similar results. But, like shop toys, there are several issues that every dog owner must put into consideration before selecting a suitable play item designs. Without addressing these issues of concern at the initial stages, the results may be dire on your dog with some instances necessitating the need for emergency medical attention. Hence, here are some of the things that every dog owner must consider before selecting an ideal homemade toy design.
Things to consider before selecting the ideal homemade dog toy
Establishing where your dog lies on the chew meter is essential especially when it comes to the selection of an ideal toy. Various toys such as the recycled plastic bottle toys are not suitable for very strong chewers because they can be punctured or torn easily. Hence, dogs that are on the upper scale of the chew meter it is indispensable to provide them with homemade playtime items.
The play items should be designed from materials that are not only durable but also strong enough to tolerate aggressive chewing. Also, the material should not only withstand the belligerent chewing but it must also not wither, shred, crack, rip or puncture in the process. This aspect is very important because once ingested, the small particles from the toy may induce choking, vomiting and many other gastrointestinal complications. All in all, if your pet is an aggressive chewer, you should consider toys that have been constructed from ultra-durable constituents such as rubber.
Dog sock toy
Apart from the chew meter, another thing that you should always put into contemplation when planning to either build or purchase a play item for your pet is the ratio between the toy and the dog. It is essential for the size of the toy to be directly proportional to the size of the dog. If the size of the play item is smaller when compared to your dog's size, they can be easily swallowed which will eventually lead to unwarranted medical expenses.
Furthermore, before handing a toy to your dog, always ensure that small sized items that may be attached to the item or could be swallowed easily are eliminated before handing the toy to the pet. See our guidelines on the top dog-friendly chew toys that are suitable for your pooch.
Your pet's age also plays a key role when it comes to the selection of an ideal play item. Despite the fact that the desire to chew is usually a natural instinct in all canines, it is usually at its highest point during the developmental stages that are usually between eight weeks and six months. Hence, so as to release the discomfort present in his or her gums, your puppy is going clump onto anything that is chewable.
When searching for an ideal play item for your puppy, you should always ensure that the item of your choice will not be injurious in anyway. Also, toys that have been designed from materials such as plastics must be avoided at all costs. Alternatively, the owner should opt for materials that are going to have a soothing effect on the puppy such as splash balls. Why not see our list of topnotch and cool dog toys that your furry companion might like?
Puppy and homemade dog toy
Homemade edible toys are also another option that homeowners can make for their puppies. Needless to say, edible play items are a good occasional treat for puppies because they play a key role in keeping the pearly white teeth clean. Also, edibles can be used to freshen the puppy's breath and keep him or her interested for a very long time.
While putting all aspects into consideration, there are a wide range of options available for dogs of all ages and all of this preferences can be produced locally without the need for extra costs. Hence, before selecting an ideal toy design for dogs, factors such as the age and the chew meter must also be kept under consideration.
Benefits of homemade toys
Unlike manufactured toys, homemade dog toys are very cheap to make and at times there are no costs involved as long as the dog owner has all the necessary parts required for the assembly process. Most of the necessary materials and toy parts may be obtained easily from various recyclables such as old clothes, plastic bottles, tennis balls and many others. Another benefit of homemade toys is that they are usually easy to make. Hence, you can have as many play items for your pet as you want with very little skills and without any financial restrictions whatsoever.
Needless to say, play items whether purchased or homemade are important because they provide mental stimulation and alleviate separation anxiety. All dog breeds will require some form of mental stimulation if they are to lead a healthy and productive life. Homemade toys can be a great tool for instigating mental stimulation in dogs. Besides, play items can be used to alleviate separation anxiety that is usually common in dogs that may need attention from time to time. Our piece on how to choose the right dog toys to keep Buster preoccupied is a worthwhile read.
Another benefit of homemade toys is that they can be employed as an effective tool when it comes to combating destructive behaviors in dogs. By providing your dog with a play item, he or she is going to use the item as a positive outlet for the unnecessary physical energy. The play items can be used to strengthen the bond between you and the dog because you will be going to spend more time with him or her while having fun. Furthermore, toys are essential in promoting dental health because they can be used as a form of exercise for the jaw muscles.
Finally, homemade toys can be used as a clean-up process because most of the materials used in the assemblage process are mainly recyclables. Because most recyclables often reach a point where they can no longer be useful; assembling a play item for your pet from these materials is indeed a great way of improving the material's life cycle. Also, items such as clothing, once they have been used as a play item they tend to become easily decompose due to the wear and tear effect inflicted on them.
Five homemade toy designs that every dog owner must try out
The whipwhir
The Whipwhir also commonly referred to as the stick and rope toy is undeniably one of the best toy ideas, especially for dogs with high energy levels. Apart from being exceedingly unique the Whipwhir is also very easy to make and will at times require zero budget as long as you have all the necessary materials. Unlike most toys that may be used explicitly either on the inside or the outside, the Whipwir is among the few toys that can be used on both platforms.
But for individuals who will use this toy inside the house it is very indispensable that they should ensure they have more than enough space for the dog to move freely.
For the assembly of this toy, you will be required to have an old broomstick that has a hole drilled on one end. Also, you will also need a six-foot rope or cord and a toy preferably a tennis ball or an old sock. After finding the all the necessary items, you are to begin the assembly process by fastening the rope on one end of the old broomstick preferably the end with a hole. The final huddle of this design, mainly entails tying the toy i.e. sock, braided rugs, and tennis ball on the end of the cord or rope and your toy is good to go.
Like any other toy, the Whipwhir unquestionably has some safety guidelines especially because it is an ideal toy for high energy dogs. While using this toy, there is a possibility of the dog getting injured when it becomes over exuberant. Hence, you are required to ensure that the dog is properly warmed up before you begin any playing session. Also, it is highly prudent that the distance between the ground and the toy should be reasonable. Most sporting dog breeds can benefit from this kind of toy and high-energy activities, so read all about it in our previous article.
Recycled drinking bottle
The recycled drinking bottle toy is one of the easiest toys to make because all it requires is an old drinking bottle and a little bit of effort. This type of toy is a favorite among all dog species because of the cracking and crinkly sound that it produced when chewed on by a dog. Before handing the recycled drinking bottle to the pet, always ensure that the lid, and the ring, which is usually attached to the lid have all been carefully removed.
Furthermore, if your dog

There are multiple sources:
 - Population - you simply divide the population by the average life expectancy and then multiply by 20
 - Tourists - you assume that every 5th person you see in Dubai is a tourist and out of them x% are 0-20

Thank you, Vlad! In the case of the UAE where the population is significantly young, assuming an equal age distribution won't work. How would you change your approach?
Udayan on Feb 13, 2020
That is relevant information - just adjust with what you think is most reasonable. For example distribute population 0-20 as being 30% of the population vs 25% if you take a life expectancy of 80
updated an answer on Jan 27, 2020
The structure mentioned in the previous answer is a good approach for most of the cities/countries. However, for hot tourist destinations like Dubai, one needs to consider the number of tourists that visit that particular city/country in a year.
On average, Dubai gets 12 million tourists (nearly four times the population of Dubai). If you use the similar approach and add that number to the one mentioned in the other answer, you arrive at the approximate number. Feel free to change assumptions regarding age distribution and life expectancy of tourists (Wouldn't change by more than 10-15% anyway).

For this, I would lay the structure and assumption down as follows
# of people aged between 0-20 = (Total Population of Dubai / Avg. life span of the local population or the world) * # of years (0-20)
Key assumption, people distribution of ages are even across the board. Stating, that there are the same number of people at every 1 year.
# of people aged between 0-20 = ( (assumed) 3.5M / (assumed) 75 ) * 20
= 0.93M
Note, for this market sizing you should be aware of what the population of Dubai is, or approximate of it. Also 75-80 years is the average lifespan globally, this can vary by region.

The World's Largest Earwig
The largest earwig species ever recorded was the Saint Helena earwig, which could grow up to 3.3 inches in length. The species had a long, dark brown-black colored body with reddish colored legs. It had six legs located on the front portion of its body and was characterized by a large, forked tail, often referred to as a pincher. The Saint Helena earwig, also known as the giant earwig or the Saint Helena striped earwig, could be found on the island of Saint Helena in certain forests, plains, and near seabird colonies on rocky outcroppings. Researchers identified three specific areas that this species inhabited: the Prosperous Bay plain, the Horse Point plain, and the dry areas of the eastern region of the island. Informally, the Saint Helena giant earwig is sometimes called as the "dodo of the dermapteran," a name that refers to the order of insects to which the species belonged.
Earwigs are an interesting insect species due to their social behavior. Unlike most insects, which are often solitary creatures that care for and provide for themselves, earwigs exhibits familial recognition. This behavior is most noteworthy in earwig mothers, who care for their young in a number of ways, including keeping and protecting the nest of eggs, cleaning the nest and eggs, assisting baby earwigs during the hatching process, feeding young earwigs, and sleeping with baby earwigs in a communal nest. Earwigs typically construct their shelters underground in long and deep tunnels. Researchers report that most earwig species only leave these underground shelters after long periods of rain, and can be spotted on the ground at night.
Discovery of the World's Largest Earwig
A Danish entomologist was the first scientist to ever collect this species in 1798 in the Saint Helena, a tropical island in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite its record-breaking size, the Saint Helena earwig did not receive attention again until 1913, and then again in 1962, from two ornithologists. The Saint Helena earwig did not receive its scientific name, L. herculeana, until 1965, when it was discovered that the specimen had previously been confused with the L. loveridgei species. Some researchers speculate that this species was largely ignored due to a broad disinterest in earwig species, its confusion with another earwig species, and because it was an endemic species that could only be found on the island of Saint Helena.
An increasing interest in the areas of nature, biodiversity, zoology, and environmental conservation led to a slightly increased interest in this species. Beginning in the 1960's, more researchers began searching for the Saint Helena earwig, however these efforts were largely unsuccessful. The last sighting of the species was recorded in 1967. In an attempt to publicize its conservation status, the local government designed and released a collectible stamp with an image of the giant earwig in 1982. Just six years later, the London Zoo financed an exploration project in what was one of the final attempts at obtaining a live specimen. Subsequent searches were conducted in 1993 and 2003.
Factors Leading to Extinction of the World's Largest Earwig
In November of 2014, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categorized the Saint Helena giant earwig on its Red List as officially extinct. While the organization acknowledges that the insect species may still exist in a very remote location on the island, it stated that all scientific evidence indicates that the insect is extinct. Experts in the field of entomology believe that two factors ultimately led to the extinction of the world's largest earwig: invasive species and habitat destruction.
An invasive species is somehow introduced to an ecosystem where it is not considered a native species. Many invasive species are introduced to ecosystems by humans, either intentionally or unintentionally, while others independently migrate to and colonize a new home.
Scientists believe that the Saint Helena giant earwig was forced to compete for survival against several invasive species, including spiders, centipedes, mice, and rats. It is believed that all of these species relied on the giant earwig as a dietary source. In particular, the Scolopendra morsitans centipede was likely the biggest challenge to the giant earwig, providing competition for food and habitat.
Another common factor in the endangerment and extinction of a vast number of animal species is habitat destruction. Habitat destruction occurs when external forces render an ecosystem unfit for the life it once sustained. This factor may be caused by natural occurrences, like flooding or storms, or by human activity, like deforestation and agriculture.
The Saint Helena giant earwig was threatened by two specific instances of habitat destruction, both caused by humans. The first was the deforestation of the gumwood forests, where it was known to inhabit. These forests were destroyed to make way for agricultural endeavors and to clear space for sprawling urbanization. Additionally, the construction industry harvested rocks from coastal areas of the island in order to keep up with increasing demands in development. These coastal rocks housed colonies of both the seabird and the Saint Helena giant earwig.
Lack of Attention Surrounding Its Extinction
Most people can cite at least a few animal species that are either endangered or already extinct, the vast majority of which will be charismatic species, meaning they are easily recognizable and often considered attractive to look at. Some examples of charismatic endangered species include pandas, tigers, and elephants. The general public is less likely to recognize insects or consider their potential extinction.
Given this lack of attention given to insect species, the extinction of the Saint Helena giant earwig was only published in a few media reports. This lack of coverage means that many individuals are still unaware of its conservation status. Critics claim that conservation groups also tend to ignore the plight of insects, focusing instead on bird and mammal species. In fact, the IUCN has identified and recorded the conservation statuses of approximately 100% of identified mammal and bird species in the world and less than 1% of global insect species. However, insects are important in maintaining the balance within ecosystems.

Aperture Tables, let the light through.
April 05, 2021
Aperture Tables, let the light through.
Since my earliest designs I have been inspired by colours and shapes.
"I was challenged by one of my customers to design a series of tables that could show off the legs more fully, as so many of my designs have interesting legs that are partly covered up by their solid, opaque table tops."
Transparency was achieved by using precision cut and beautifully machine-polished 12mm thick pieces of circular toughened glass; I wanted the base to reference the geometric interplay of the blades within a camera lens aperture.
By letting the light through, the table tops are almost invisible apart from the sheen of the surface and the graphic circumference line that is present due to the hardening and toughening process of the glass.
This perimeter line helps frame the base and delineate volume to the top and has a purity in its unbroken form that is referenced by the legs. Elegant tapering and narrow lines are made possible by fabricating the frame in stiff tubular steel and finished in pigments of navy blue or oxblood red.
Apertures are controlled by an iris that is built up of many thin metal blades that overlay each other in a circular fashion. Light passes through to a greater or lesser amount depending on how wide the aperture is opened by twisting the lens, allowing the iris blades to pivot and slide over each other, therefore further opening or closing the aperture. The centre hole appears round by using many blades, however for the purpose of my tables, only 3 or 4 legs are required, so I connected these points leaving a triangular or square aperture that is logically and simply defined by the number of legs.

The largest of the Aperture tables is the Console, made possible by elongating the circle into a lozenge shaped table top.
The aperture detail is repeated at either end of the stretched out top with a connecting bar that locks the frame together.

"I hope you continue to enjoy receiving the Reeves Design newsletter which has always intended to be a window into the inspirations that go into each design. However at this current time when it is impossible to make and attend exhibitions in a physical way or even go to showrooms and shops, it has become an essential platform and direct link between our product, brand and customers.
I encourage you to reach out with any projects and dreams that may align with our values and vision as we are still operating, producing and creating. I trust we can harness shared motivation, enthusiasm and more enjoyable considered ways to explore culture and ideas; in doing so continue to evolve designs that look towards a bright future."

Cultural Map of the World (Inglehart-Welzel)
This is an application of a factor analysis plot, used in this case to display the 'cultural proximity' of several countries. This proximity is calculated based on survey scores on areas such as politics, religion and social life. The data is'reduced' to some dimensions (displayed in the axis of the chart) and then plot according to how much they load in each dimension. This type of graph is used specially in qualitative research.

THE TIMES AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR
'The finest book ever written on nature and landscape in Britain' Guardian
In this masterpiece of nature writing, beautifully narrated by Oscar-winning actor Tilda Swinton, Nan Shepherd describes her journeys into the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland. There she encounters a world that can be breathtakingly beautiful at times and shockingly harsh at others. Her intense, poetic prose explores and records the rocks, rivers, creatures and hidden aspects of this remarkable landscape.
Shepherd spent a lifetime in search of the 'essential nature' of the Cairngorms; her quest led her to write this classic meditation on the magnificence of mountains, and on our imaginative relationship with the wild world around us. Composed during the Second World War, the manuscript of The Living Mountain lay untouched for more than thirty years before it was finally published.

Montane reed frog description
Like many frogs within its genus, Hyperolius castaneus displays remarkable variation in appearance (3) (4). The smooth skin of this species is consistently yellow to red underneath, but the colouration and patterning on the back varies considerably. Some have green backs with numerous diffuse dark spots, while others have brown backs, occasionally flecked with black spots. In addition, some forms have an irregular lateral line, running along the side of the body and varying from light to dark (2). Equipped with fairly long limbs and large toe pads, many Hyperolius species are adept climbers (4) (5).Top
Montane reed frog biology
Along with many other species in the genus, Hyperolius castaneus is yet to be the subject of a comprehensive study. However, this nocturnal species is particularly noted for its gliding ability (7). In the wet season the reed frogs tend to gather near water, preferably smaller temporary water bodies, where they breed. However, very little is known of their whereabouts outside the breeding season (8). Most, if not all, Hyperolius species from forest habitats deposit eggs in a gelatinous mass on vegetation above water, while some savanna-living species lay their eggs aquatically (5) (8).Top
Montane reed frog range
Hyperolius castaneus is found in the Albertine Rift, one of the richest sites for biodiversity in Africa. Its range stretches through eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, western Rwanda, western Burundi, and south-western Uganda (1) (6).Top
Montane reed frog habitat
Inhabits swamps in grassland and forest, between 1,600 and 2,850 metres above sea level (1).Top
Montane reed frog status
Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).Top
Montane reed frog threats
Although a relatively abundant species, the distribution of Hyperolius castaneus is severely fragmented and its population is probably declining because of a decrease in the quality and extent of swamp habitat. Habitat conversion for agriculture and encroaching human settlement are thought to be principally responsible for habitat degradation in the Albertine Rift (1)Top
Montane reed frog conservation
There are no known conservation measures for Hyperolius castaneus but it is known to be present in at least two protected areas, Bwindi National Park in Uganda and the Virungas National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (1).Top

What is the kb of NaOH?
Asked By: Kouider Conze | Last Updated: 18th April, 2020
Category: science chemistry
4.9/5 (5,529 Views. 42 Votes)
What Is the Kb of NaOH? The base dissociation constant, or Kb, of sodium hydroxide, or NaOH, is approximately 1020. NaOH is classified as a strong base, which completely ionizes or dissociates in a solution into Na+ and OHions.
Click to see full answer
Also, what is the formula for KB?
Solve the equation for Kb by dividing the Kw by the Ka. You then obtain the equation Kb = Kw / Ka. Put the values from the problem into the equation. For example, for the chloride ion, Kb = 1.0 x 10^-14 / 1.0 x 10^6.
Additionally, is Ca Oh 2 stronger than NaOH? Look at charge Na has +1 charge and Ca has +2 charge after dissociation. Greater charge Stronger lattice. And as we need weak Lattice, so NaoH is stronger base than Ca(OH)2..
People also ask, what is the kb of a strong base?
Kb is the base dissociation constant. The base dissociation constant is a measure of how completely a base dissociates into its component ions in water. A large Kb value indicates the high level of dissociation of a strong base. A lower pKb value indicates a stronger base.
What is the Ka of Koh?
Solution. Potassium Hydroxide or KOH, is a strong base and will dissociate completely in water to K+ and OH-. For every mole of KOH, there will be 1 mole of OH-, so the concentration of OHwill be the same as the concentration of KOH. Therefore, [OH-] = 0.05 M.

What does pKa stand for?
Key Takeaways: pKa Definition
What are the units of Ka?
An acid dissociation constant (Ka) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. The dissociation constant is usually written as a quotient of the equilibrium concentrations (in mol/L): [latex]K_a = frac{[A-][H+]}{[HA]}[/latex].
What is the difference between KB and Ka?
Ka is the "acid dissociation constant." It deals with the concentration of H + ions. Kb is the "base dissociation constant." It deals with the concentration of OH - ions.
What is the kb value?
Kb value refers to a standardized ASTM test that measures the relative strength of a non-aqueous cleaning fluid. Mild solvents with lower Kb values will may not be strong enough to dissolve ionics and fluxes.
What is the difference between pKa and Ka?
Ka is acid dissociation constant and represents the strength of the acid. pKa is the -log of Ka, having a smaller comparable values for analysis. They have an inverse relationship. Larger the Ka, smaller the pKa and stronger the acid.
Can pKa be negative?
Is pKa the same as pH?
The pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution. pKa (acid dissociation constant) and pH are related, but pKa is more specific in that it helps you predict what a molecule will do at a specific pH.
Is h3po4 an acid or base?
Salts: AgNO3(Salt), NaCl(Salt), NaNO3(salt), KNO3(salt), Acids: H3PO4(acid), HCl(acid), H2SO4(acid), HC2H3O2(acid), HNO3(acid), H2SO3(acid) Bases: Mg(OH)2(base), NaOH(base), KOHbase), NH4OH(base).
What makes a strong or weak base?
Strong and Weak Bases
The issue is similar with bases: a strong base is a base that is 100% ionized in solution. If it is less than 100% ionized in solution, it is a weak base. So a base based on some other mechanism, such as NH 3 (which does not contain OH ions as part of its formula), will be a weak base.
What are strong bases?
Strong bases are able to completely dissociate in water
 - LiOH - lithium hydroxide.
 - NaOH - sodium hydroxide.
 - KOH - potassium hydroxide.
 - RbOH - rubidium hydroxide.
 - CsOH - cesium hydroxide.
 - *Ca(OH)2 - calcium hydroxide.
 - *Sr(OH)2 - strontium hydroxide.
 - *Ba(OH)2 - barium hydroxide.
Does higher pKa mean stronger acid?
A lower pKa means the Ka value is higher and a higher Ka value means the acid dissociates more readily because it has a larger concentration of Hydronium ions (H3O+).
Is a base a strong?
A strong base is a base that is completely dissociated in an aqueous solution. These compounds ionize in water to yield one or more hydroxide ion (OH-) per molecule of base. In contrast, a weak base only partially dissociates into its ions in water.
Is NaOH a strong base?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is strong base because it fully dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions. While ammonia (NH3) is weak base because it accepts protons from water to produce fewer hydroxide ions in solution. While weak bases produce fewer hydroxide ions, making the solution less basic.
What is the kb of water?
List of boiling and freezing information of solvents
Solvent Boiling point (°C) Kb (°C/mol/kg)
Naphthalene 217.9
Nitrobenzene 210.8 5.24
Phenol 181.75 3.60
Water 100.00 0.512
What is Ka KB and KW?
pKa and pKb are the -logs of Ka and Kb; Ka and Kb, when multiplied, are equal to Kw (1.0x10^-14). Kw is also equal to the hydronium and hydroxide concentrations when multiplied.
What is the full form of pKb?
pKb is the negative base-10 logarithm of the base dissociation constant (Kb) of a solution. It is used to determine the strength of a base or alkaline solution. pKb = -log10Kb.
Is Ca Oh 2 a strong base?
Ca(OH)2 is a strong base. Some strong bases like calcium hydroxide aren't very soluble in water. That doesn't matter - what does dissolve is still 100% ionised into calcium ions and hydroxide ions. Calcium hydroxide still counts as a strong base because of that 100% ionisation.


Special equipment and emergency stockpiles from the warehouses of the State Material Reserves Administration help in about 90 cases per year. This means that it is in action every fourth day.
The most often used equipment is special rescue equipment, which helps firefighters get people out of car wrecks in serious traffic accidents.
The mobile chemical laboratory also helps very often. There are dozens of cases a year. These are mostly disrupted gas connections or findings of an unknown chemical substance.
Tank trucks and drinking water containers help to solve water supply in municipalities and cities. In recent years, the Administration has helped dozens of municipalities in this way. They had problems with extreme drought, for example, in Mikulášovice, Staré Křečany and Jiříkov in the Ústí nad Labem Region, in Rosice and Jedousov in the Pardubice Region and in Nedašova Lhota in the Zlín Region. If the technology from the Czech reserves had not helped them, over twenty thousand people would have been left without drinking water. In recent years, the mayors of Liboměřice, Nedašov, Píště and Maršovice have also solved the same problems. Technology from Czech reserves then helped to ensure sufficient drinking water for Žumberk, Míčov-Sušice, Varnsdorf, Dešná, Seč, or Dobříš.
Other special equipment is often used. Especially the suction excavator, which makes it easier for firefighters to work in the ruins of houses when searching for people buried underneath. And it also helped to remove derailed wagons on the track near Mariánské Lázně, where it accelerated unloading of a load of limestone. The lightened wagons could then be finally lifted by the crane, freeing up the tracks so that other trains could run on them again.
If this technique had not been available, it would have been difficult for the units of the Integrated Rescue System to save lives and property.
It is the help in non-crisis situations that is increasingly important for the Czech reserves.

Sensory accountability – data beyond the symbolic sandbox
Dietmar Offenhuber Associate Professor, Northeastern University
The methods of data driven urbanism are bound to the limits of symbolic representation - they can only begin when data already exist. As a result, data remain largely silent about the conditions and controversies around their creation and are disconnected from the phenomena they describe. Especially when discourses around pollution and environmental justice depend on data sets and computational models, they are frequently subject to questions of truthfulness, authority, and hidden biases. Under the notion of sensory accountability, I will discuss emerging visual and evidentiary practices that respond to these questions by identifying, revealing, and presenting physical traces of invisible phenomena - as a data source, but also to make the process of data collection accountable and the resulting models verifiable through the human senses.

Voice of America (VOA), radio broadcasting network of the U.S. government, a unit of the United States Information Agency (USIA). Its first broadcast, in German, took place on February 24, 1942, and was intended to counter Nazi propaganda among the German people. By the time World War II ended, the VOA was broadcasting 3,200 programs in 40 languages every week. It became part of the USIA when that agency was established in 1953.
The VOA's function is to promote understanding of the United States and to spread American values. During the Cold War it concentrated its message on the communist countries of eastern and central Europe. Its daily broadcasts include news reports, stories and discussions on American political and cultural events, and editorials setting forth U.S. government policy. The VOA produces and broadcasts radio programs in English and foreign languages and operates broadcasting and relay stations to transmit them.

Justice for girls
The report Disproportionate Minority Contact in the Hawaii Juvenile Justice System: 2000-2010 shines light on many important issues related to the state's juvenile justice system, especially those related to runaways ("Juvenile Injustice," Jan. 2). Dr. Chesney-Lind touched on one point that I want to elaborate on a little more: Many of these youth struggle with trauma from abuse, violence and/or neglect, and exhibit trauma symptoms like self-injury and running away.
[The Weekly] mentioned Wahi Kanaaho as a program that reconnects youth with their culture and community. Another resource girls and their families can turn to is Project Kealahou, a federally funded, trauma-informed program within the Department of Health. Inspired by other girl-focused programs like Girls Court, Project Kealahou provides support to all girls who need it, including those in the juvenile justice system, by providing services such as trauma therapy, mentoring, support groups and cultural education. Gender-responsive programs like Project Kealahou are important to making sure girls at the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility and other facilities get the support they need to overcome their past traumatic experiences and create a better life.
The Project is also working on system-level policy development and initiatives to address trauma and the special needs of girls. For more information, please visit [projectkealahou.org].

How to Change Text Style in Discord
author avatar
Apr 07, 2021• Proven solutions
Discord is a brand name that many people have heard about, and this instant messaging and content distribution service is rapidly gaining popularity among many groups of users. A unique feature of this platform is that it facilitates community-based communication, where users who share certain interests can form their own private chats that are known as servers.
While its user interface is quite simple, Discord allows users to deploy a variety of advanced communication tools, from textual content to audio and video streams. It's natural that users want to express their thoughts creatively, so there is a lot of genuine interest in learning how to change the visual look of the messages through the use of basic text formatting. In this article, we will discuss how to change text style in Discord and provide detailed instructions for activating various options, such as using bold or italic letters or underlining a part of the text.
Let's start with the software module that makes it all possible.
Part 1: How Does Discord Text Engine Work?
Beneath the surface, Discord runs on a powerful engine called Markdown, which regulates how text is displayed on the pages visible to users. It's an application of markup language that completely depends on textual symbols as commands, making it quite simple for users who are not skilled at advanced programming to alter the look of the text.
Basically, Markdown allows you to enter a few symbols and it will interpret them as commands for changing the text style, for example bolding or underlying certain word or sentence. For highlighting blocks of text, there is a specific library named Highlight.js that allows simple text marking for stylistic emphasis.
This approach is very practical and easy to learn, so long-time users of Discord are able to change text style as they type without thinking too much about it. Really, it's all about following a couple of simple rules and knowing the most important combinations of characters (tags).
Part 2: How to Change Text Style in Discord with Markdown?
As we mentioned previously, Markdown is completely text-based and has a very simple syntax. All you need to do to apply special formatting to your text is to enter a few special characters at the right places, and the appropriate effect (bold, italic…) will appear in the chat. Keep in mind that you can easily combine the formatting styles by using multiple commands at the same time.
Here is an overview of the most important options for changing text style in Discord, and you can preview the text style in real time before sending to friends:
Change Text Style in Discord - Basic
How to Bold Text in Discord?
A simple way to use bold text style is to add two asterisks (**) at the beginning and the end of the text that you want to have this effect.
How to Italicize in Discord?
Italicized style of text will be displayed in the chat if you put one asterisk character (*) before and one more after the selected text.
How to Write Strikethrough and Make Discord Cross Out Text?
In order to get a strikethrough effect on your text, you will have to type two tilde characters (~~) on either side of the section of text that you want to change, and then you will create an appearance of a crossed-out portion of text.
How to Make Discord Underline Text?
Underline effect is also available on Discord and equally simple to activate. Just type two underscore dashes (__)at the start and the ending of the text selection to apply it.
How to Combine Text Formatting Options in Discord?
Once you mastered the basic effects and know the commands without thinking, it's time to consider more complex text transformations that combine more than one effect. In principle, Markdown lets you do this just as easily, for as long as you know all the right combinations of characters that produce the desired effect. Here are the detailed instructions for some of the most frequently utilized combos:
Underlined and Italicized text
For this elegant combination, use two underscore dashes (__) followed by one asterisk (*) before and after the selected text.
Discord Underlined and Italicized text
Underlined and Bolded text
Put two underscore dashes (__) and add two asterisk characters (**) to both sides of the selection to get those two effects together.
Discord Underlined and Bolded text
Underlined, Italicized, and Bolded text
This combination is achieved by placing two underscore marks (__) and three straight asterisks (***) at the beginning as well as the end of the text.
Discord Underlined & Italicized Bolded text
Bolded, Italicized, underlined, and crossed out text
You can combine all four style changes as well – just use two tildes (~~), two underscores (__) and three asterisks (***) on either side of your text.
Discord Underlined & Italicized Bolded crossed out text
Part 3: How to Use Code Block for Discord Text Formatting?
In addition to simple font transformations, Discord allows users to engage in advanced text formatting with incredible ease. One way to do it is to deploy code blocks, which can be activated with the backtick character ( ' ) placed on the beginning and the end of a text section. This command will highlight the chosen part of the text while preserving blank space around it for extra emphasis of your message. However, if you use three consecutive ( ' ) signs before a block of text and separate the text into several lines by pressing enter, the result will be a series of highlighted lines that form a single code block. This option is simple enough that even beginners with no programming abilities can easily learn how to use it, and it has some practical applications that savvy Discord users are very fond of.
Part 4: How to Change the Text Color in Discord Message?
It's not possible to alter the default text color from the native user interface in Discord. However, there is a simple solution to this problem that involves the scrip mentioned earlier in the article. This Javascript-based library can transform the normal text into a code block consisting of three lines, where the middle line would be your selection of text in an alternative color. This is a neat workaround that's very simple to activate using the same kind of text-based commands described above.
To execute this smart trick, you should create a simple, three-line block. In the top line, you need to put three backtick characters ("') along with a code phrase corresponding to the text color you would like to use. In the second line, you should type your entire text normally, while the bottom line should include three more backticks. You can create new lines by pressing the Shift and Enter keys at the same time.
Here is a detailed video tutorial for creating customized text in a range of different colors with all the relevant code phrases.
FAQs About Discord Text Formatting
 1. What is the default Discord font?
Discord uses the same basic font all over the entire platform, including all chats between users and in your profile info. This is Uni sans font, which is quite simple and belongs to the sans serif family of fonts that are known for good readability on almost any background.
 1. How do you get different fonts on Discord?
It's not possible to change the font directly from the Discord app, but this limitation can be circumvented if you find a good Discord font generator on the internet. Those are very easy to use, so you can simply type your text in a chosen font and copy it back into Discord already formatted.
 1. How to make a hidden text in Discord?
The creation of a hidden text message that requires direct user action to reveal is possible in Discord and requires a so-called spoiler tag. If you precede your message with the text /spoiler or type two slash bars ( //) at either side, it will be hidden from other users except for those who decide to view it and indicate their desire by clicking or tapping on it. Messages of this kind appear highlighted with gray background in the message stream on a Discord chat.

Tune of the Day: The Gobby O and Variations
This set of variations on the Irish tune "The Gobby-O" is taken from Chicago police officer Francis O'Neill's collection Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody, published in 1922. The tune became popular in American fife and drum repertory, especially under the title "Jefferson and Liberty", the name of a campaign song set to the melody.
One suggestion regarding the meaning of the title postulates a progressive derivation from "Gaberlunzie Boy" (i.e. beggar boy), shortened to "Gaby Boy", and finally morphing into "Gobby-O". Other sources say that the title refers to a 'gobby-stick' (a flute or fife), the inference being that these woodwind instruments are hollow sticks played with the mouth ('gob' is the Gaelic word for 'beak' or 'mouth').

A dillybag or dilly bag is a traditional Australian Aboriginal bag, generally woven from the fibres of plant species of the Pandanusgenus.[verification needed]. It is used for a variety of food transportation and preparation purposes.
The dilly bag, otherwise known as yakou, yibali or but but bag, is a bag worn around the neck to hold food like berries, meat, fish etc. The Dilly bag is normally woven out of vines or tough dried grasses and sometimes had feather or animal fur inside the bag to stop small pieces of food falling through holes in the weave. Mainly used by women to gather food but can be used by men to help carry some tools for hunting.
Another use for the dilly bag (also named Mukurtu) was as a holder for personal or tribal artifacts. The "Dilly bag" term is also used to describe bags used by non-aboriginal Australians, for example a smaller food bag carried by swagmen along with their swags. The term is also used by Australians to describe similar bags for other purposes.

Both vases date from 340–330 bc, and both are in the so-called Kerch style, of which the Marsyas Painter is a key representative. (Kerch refers to the area north of the Black Sea where many of the vessels were excavated.) The Kerch style is recognized by slender, mannered forms; elaborate decoration; and polychrome effects, achieved through the heavy use of white paint and sometimes gilding. It is thought to be the last major style of Attic red-figure painting.

Markets Wholesale Markets History
In 1816, the Street Commissioners purchased the old moated Manor House of the De Birmingham family and a year later opened the Smithfield Cattle Market on the site which now forms part of the Wholesale Markets Precinct.
The Old St. Martin's Market was used as a Wholesale Market until 1897. The Wholesale Fish Market in Bell Street was opened in 1869 and demolished in 1958.
St. Martin's Lane opened in 1883 and was divided into two sections, the larger upper part forming the wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market, and the lower part, bordering Moat Row, initially used as a toll market for farmers and growers. The lower part was also home to the retail Rag Market each Tuesday and Saturday afternoon selling clothing, hardware and manufactured goods.
A Cattle and Pig Market in Montague Street was opened in 1892.
The City Meat Market and Abattoir in Bradford Street opened in 1897. The deterioration of the old Smithfield and City Meat Markets, the loss of the Fish Markets in Bell Street for the new Inner Road, and congestion of the narrow streets around the wholesale area, all led to the decision to build a new Wholesale Market complex. In February 1974 phase 1 of the scheme, the New Fish, Meat and Poultry Markets, was opened for trade.

- Americans have different words for soft drink depending on which region of the United States they're from.
- The three most popular terms are soda, pop, and coke, according to data collected by the site Pop Vs. Soda.
- Linguists have noted other terms people from certain regions use for soft drinks, including tonic and cocola.
People in the United States have different ways of saying things from region to region, from what they call the night before Halloween to how they pronounce the word "crayon."
One of the things Americans can never seem to agree on is what to call fizzy, carbonated beverages: soda, pop, or coke?
That's exactly the question cartographer Alan McConchie sought to answer with his web project, the aptly named Pop Vs. Soda. The site invites visitors to fill out a brief questionnaire asking where they are from and which term they use for soft drinks. To date, more than 400,000 users have submitted answers.
The resulting maps illustrate what linguists have long known:
- Soda is the preferred term in the Northeast, most of Florida, California, and pockets in the Midwest around Milwaukee and St. Louis
- Pop is what people say in most of the Midwest and West
- And coke, even if it's not Coca-Cola brand, is what people call it in the South
Previous research reveals even more regional divides. According to Jason Katz, the graphic artist who wrote "Speaking American: How Y'all, Youse, and You Guys Talk," there are even more regionalisms that most Americans may not have heard of. Among them:
- A solid 6% of Americans simply call them soft drinks, especially in Louisiana and North Carolina
- In small pockets of the Deep South, cocola is the preferred term
- And in Boston, tonic is what a decent amount of older residents grew up saying, although that term is quickly falling out of favor
Whether you call it pop, soda, coke, or something else entirely, there's no question that Americans won't be agreeing on its name any time soon.

The Environmental Interpretation Centre is located on the shores of the Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo on São Jorge Island on the Azores archipelago of Portugal. The islands are very remote and located smack dab in the middle of the Atlantic and not particularly well-known, but are quite beautiful. The government is trying to increase tourism and education of their parks and the Centre is one of their projects to aid that effort. The Centre will help provide information on the area, serve as an education center on the local environment, support architectural heritage and serve as a center to further study the local flora and fauna.
Design work began on the Environmental Interpretation Centre in 2007 with construction starting in 2009. The original property features a one story stone building, which was used as the foundation for the reconstruction. This building was faithfully restored using the original plans, but adding a second story and then an additional building behind it. The main building serves as the education center and the building behind is a temporary apartment for visiting researchers. Thick stone walls act as thermal mass to slow the transfer of heat and keep the interior comfortable. Deep window wells provide natural light but minimize heat gain. In the future a campsite will be created and the Interpretation Centre will serve as its headquarters.

In general, two types of receipts occur during the course of business. Capital Receipts are described as the money brought to the business from non-operating sources like proceeds from the sale of long-term assets, capital brought by the proprietor, sum received as a loan or from debenture holders etc. In contrast revenue receipts are the result of firm's routine activities during the financial year, which includes sales, commission, interest on investment.
Capital receipts differ from revenue receipts, in the sense that the former has no bearing on profit or loss for the financial year, whereas the latter is set off against the revenue expenses for the period. Read the article provided to you, so as to understand the difference between capital receipt and revenue receipt.
Content: Capital Receipt Vs Revenue Receipt
|Basis for Comparison||Capital Receipt||Revenue Receipt|
|Meaning||Capital Receipts are the income generated from investment and financing activities of the business.||Revenue Receipts are the income generated from the operating activities of the business.|
|Term||Long Term||Short Term|
|Shown in||Balance Sheet||Income Statement|
|Received in exchange of||Source of income||Income|
|Value of asset or liability||Decreases the value of asset or increases the value of liability.||Increases or decreases the value of asset or liability.|
Definition of Capital Receipt
Capital receipts are the income received by the company which is non-recurring in nature. They are part of the financing and investing activities rather than operating activities. The capital receipts either reduces an asset or increases a liability. The receipts can be generated from the following sources:
- Issue of Shares
- The issue of debt instruments such as debentures.
- Loan taken from a bank or financial institution.
- Government grants.
- Insurance Claim.
- Additional capital introduced by the proprietor.
Definition of Revenue Receipt
Revenue Receipts are the receipts which arise through the core business activities. These receipts are a part of normal business operations that is why they occur again and again however its benefit can be enjoyed only in the current accounting year as its effect is short term. The income received from the day to day activities of business includes all the operations that bring cash into the business like:
- Revenue generated from the sale of inventory
- Services Rendered
- Discount Received from the creditors or suppliers
- Sale of waste material/scrap.
- Interest Received
- Receipt in the form of dividend
- Rent Received
Key Differences Between Capital Receipt and Revenue Receipt
The following points explain the difference between capital receipt and revenue receipt in detail:
- Receipts generated from investing and financing activities are capital receipts, on the other hand, receipts from operating activities are revenue receipt.
- Capital Receipts do not frequently occur, as it is non-recurring and irregular. But, revenue receipts do not occur again and again they are recurring and regular.
- The benefit of capital receipt can be enjoyed in more than one year, but the benefit of revenue receipt can be enjoyed only in the current year.
- Capital Receipts appears on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet whereas Revenue Receipts appears on the credit side of the Profit and Loss Account as income for the financial year.
- The capital receipt is received in exchange for the source of income. Unlike revenue received which is a substitution of income.
- Capital receipt either decreases the value of an asset or increases the value of liability, but revenue receipt neither increases nor decreases the value of asset or liability.
- Both receipts are a part of business activities.
- Both are necessary for the survival and growth of the company.
- The source of business income.
In general, Capital Receipts and Revenue Receipts play a vital role in the growth of business, as the business may not be able to survive, in the absence of the two.

Technical Report Number
We present a surface reconstruction technique that constructs a smooth analytic surface from scattered data. The technique is robust to noise and both poorly and non-uniformly sampled data, making it well-suited for use in medical applications. In addition, the surface can be parameterized in multiple ways, making it possible to represent additional data, such as electromagnetic potential, in a different (but related) coordinate system to the geometric one. The parameterization technique also supports consistent parameterizations of multiple data sets.

Explore jet set Arachova this winter, and you will feel as if you have landed in the heart of a winter Mykonos. Arachova is a picturesque mountainous village that located on the foot of Mt. Parnassos in southern Greece. It is close enough to Athens to make it the perfect weekend getaway destination. Why not? It is famously known as the most cosmopolitan winter destination in Greece.
What to Do
Delphi is one of the most significant ancient Greek archaeological sites. Surrounded by the lush slopes of Mount Parnassos, this ancient Greek religious sanctuary was dedicated to the god Apollo. According to mythology, Apollo had placed a python or dragon to protect Delphi which was known to the ancients as the center or "navel of the Earth." During 6th century B.C., Delphi was an important religious center and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world. Read More


text: The main cable is made of PPWS. Its large displacement and nonlinear mechanical properties are shown by their own elastic deformation and its geometry changes affecting the system balance. To get the real main cable-shaped of long-span suspension bridge, based on the finite element method, the element stiffness matrix was derived, which displacement field was same to the element shape. Then through the horizontal and vertical direction equilibrium equations were solved, the relationship between main cable shape and the system parameters was obtained. The calculation method was compiled to MATLAB 7.0 programs, and applied to ascertain the main cable-shaped of one long-span suspension bridge. When the paper calculated result was contrasted with the design value, it could be concluded that: the main cable-shaped of long-span suspension bridge could be accurately obtained by the paper method, and the method was convenient for compiling.

60 Series or 350 Series Trap Error
Postby gseadmin » Wed Apr 08, 2009 7:23 am
What do you do if there is a TRAP error on the indicator?
Re: 60 Series or 350 Series Trap Error
Postby gseadmin » Wed Apr 08, 2009 7:24 am
First check to see if the trap error always has the same error code (6 character alpha-numeric code).
a) If the trap error code is constant, please send the indicator in for repair. There is a hardware issue. Usually, the EPROM needs to be replaced.
b) On a 60 series: If the trap error code occurs on power up AND there is a database, then
* Power down the indicator. Press PRINT and UNITS together on power up. Go into setup. Then go to P65001 and default the indicator. Then reload
your program and database.
* If the trap error still is occuring and you have a database card installed, then power down the indicator. Take out the database card. If the trap error
goes away, the problem could be in the database try. Try to default the database card at P65010. Or replace the database card.
c) If the trap error code changes (A different number each time), then the processor is "freezing" due to some type of external influence. This can include, but is not limited to:
* Electrostatic discharge (ESD): I.e.: a highly static-prone material filling into a poorly grounded scale. Ensure your scale is grounded correctly.
* Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): I.e: A nearby high-inductance motor
* Radio Frequency Interference (RFI): I.e.: A nearby high powered radio transmitter such as a CB. This can influence a poorly shielded load cell or scale. Make sure to terminate any unused conductors so they don't act as an antenna
* Power Fluctuations: I.e. brown-out, voltage spike, etc.
