One of the main reasons Facebook, Twitter and other voyeuristic social networking tools are popular is pretty obvious - we like to spy on other people.
I've always been a fan of reading letters of long-gone celebrities. Many famous writers were also compulsive note-writers. There have been volumes of letters produced by Ernest Hemingway, J.R.R. Tolkien, Virginia Woolf, Abraham Lincoln, amongst others.
It might be a dying art form, but a handsome new book shows the fleeting beauty tossed-off notes and messages can have.
The John Lennon Letters, compiled by Beatles biographer Hunter S. Davies, features dozens of notes written by Lennon in his lifetime and is a cornucopia for both Beatlemaniacs and letter-spies.
"Lennon lived before computers and email and texts and his first reaction was to write things down," Davies writes.
"He saw them as a little performance."
The John Lennon Letters is a well designed book for die-hard Beatles fans, featuring nearly 300 of Lennon's letters extensively notated and reproduced with his own squiggly handwriting and scribbly cartoons. Each letter has had its history tracked down by Davies, and the context is invaluable, making this a kind of scrapbook biography of Lennon through his letters.
Its scattered contents include everything from letters to fans and other famous folks to mundane shopping lists and surreal insults. Many of the later letters get so lost in Lennon's cryptic wordplay that they're like reading James Joyce's Ulysses to decipher.
One curious omission in the book is any real letters between John and his wife Yoko Ono. Davies says they barely ever wrote each other as they were always together. However, there are plenty of letters that hint at real emotion from behind Lennon's joking, caustic exterior like the early letters to his first wife, Cynthia, or his friend Stuart Sutcliffe, who was briefly a member of the Beatles and died of brain haemorrhage at only 21.
In a 1961 letter to Sutcliffe, Lennon writes: "I can't remember anything without a sadness so deep that it hardly becomes known to me."
This was well before Love Me Do and She Loves You, but the darker Lennon of "Plastic Ono Band" is already evident.
And it's hard not to read a line from a 1979 letter without wincing, just a bit: "I'm 40 next year - I hope life begins."
Lennon's image has gone through many reinventions since his early death, from hippie saint to grouchy genius. What's great about The John Lennon Letters is every facet of his complicated, imperfect personality shines through.
The golden age of the letter may have passed, but a tome like this is a reminder of what a window into a person's mind they could be.
The best books of correspondence:
1. Fear and Loathing in America by Hunter S. Thompson: Thompson was a prolific letter-hack and this volume collects hundreds of letters from 1968 to 1976, as America rambled through the 60s, Vietnam, Watergate and more.
2. The Portable Abraham Lincoln: America's greatest president created some fine letters, speeches and other writings. A highlight is the letter to Lydia Bixby, a widow who lost five sons in the US Civil War.
3. Kurt Vonnegut: Letters: Published just in time to mark what would have been Vonnegut's 90th birthday, this massive tome is a treasure trove of wry wit and curmudgeonly observations, including a harrowing letter on his combat experiences in Dresden, Germany during World War II.
4. The Adams-Jefferson Letters: A joint book collecting the correspondence between the second and third American presidents in the final years of their lives, from 1777 to 1826. It touches on both the political and the personal in a take on American history by two who were there from the start.
The Yage Letters by William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg: A fascinating piece of druggy history, featuring letters written by Burroughs while on a South American trip to track down the legendary yage vine, which was claimed to possess strange powers. It's hallucinogenic travel tales and quite possibly halfway made up, but also terrific letter-writing.
* The John Lennon Letters, published by Little, Brown and Company is available now. RRP NZ$59.99.

Babka bread may have originated with Eastern European Jews, or it may be a distant relative of Italian pannetone. The exact origins of babka bread are unknown.
Babka bread may have originated in Poland or Ukraine. One theory poses that it used to be part of an ancient fertility ritual as part of the matriarchal system. This type of rolled, filled bread is especially popular in Russia, Belarus, the Baltics, Poland and Ukraine. The name "babka" is related to "babcia," the Slavic word for grandmother. One theory is that the traditional Polish pan used for baking babka resembles the pleats on an old woman's skirt. Another theory about the name is that grandmothers were the primary bakers of the dish.
Another theory claims that babka actually originated in Italy, where it's seen as a "Russified" version of Italian pannetone bread. Possibly Queen Bona Sforza brought the tradition with her to Poland in the 16th century. The idea that babka originated in Italy is supported by the inclusion of chocolate in some versions. Jewish people became chocolatiers in Italy, and they brought the tradition with them when they fled the Spanish Inquisition in the 15th century.
Babka was once much larger than the current version. In the early 19th century, Polish bakers began using egg challah dough to make a dessert spread with jam, cinnamon or raisins, which formed the basis of the modern babka bread.

Zoeticx leverages crowd funding to introduce TruRecord, medical prescribing software that will address 2.2 million adverse drug reactions in U.S
Zoeticx, the developer of medical software that bridges the gap between medical data and quality patient care, announced a crowd funding campaign for TruRecord, the first subscriber-based, medical prescribing software to leverage advanced DNA testing technology for optimal drug analysis and prevention of adverse drug reactions.
TruRecord improves patient outcomes by reducing the 80,000 annual deaths due to drug adverse reactions, resulting in 289 billion spent annually on malpractice payouts. CDC ranks this as the fourth highest cause of deaths in US. With 30 new medications introduced yearly and 25 percent of patients on multiple medications, the need is growing. The CDC also ranks this as the fourth highest cause of death in the U.S. after heart disease, cancer and strokes.
TruRecord is designed to foster better patient outcomes by helping to prevent the 100,000 deaths yearly from drugs that are prescribed properly and 80,000 deaths from those which are not, resulting in 289 billion spent annually on malpractice payouts.
Breaking through drug analysis limitations
Through an intuitive visualization of drug-to-drug interactions, drug-to-allergy interactions, and drug to DNA metabolization, medical professionals can now create what-if scenarios for drug issues, enabling providers to personalize prescriptions. This capability breaks through providers' drug analysis limitations and the burdensome task of scanning and searching text and tables to identify adverse reaction data which is often complex.
These scenarios can now also be more complete with accurate patient medical information from any facility, including integration from existing hospital EHR's through Zoeticx's Patient-Clarity Platform which connects disparate EHR records and enables medical system interoperability.
Mobile devices, HIPAA compliance
TruRecord client interfaces are supported on mobile and web interfaces, providing precise, personalized medication prescription. TruRecord accesses patient medical records via an on-demand, real time access from EHR and EMR systems. Without data duplication, TruRecord complies with all required secure patient privacy protections outlined by HIPAA.
"We built Zoeticx to help medical systems address interoperability, lower accidental deaths and bridge the gap between medical data and better patient outcomes," said Thanh Tran, CEO, Zoeticx. "Today our goal is the same, but a shift toward an additional focus—adverse drug reactions. We are ushering in an era where we can leverage the fruits of DNA research to bring more precise and accurate prescriptions to those who rely on them. TruRecord takes the guess work out of drug interactions and patients by delivering security, peace of mind and accuracy."

Is it possible to find $n\times n$ matrices $M,N$ such that $(MN)^n=0$ but $(NM)^n\ne 0$?
I can see that $(MN)^n=0\implies (NM)^{n+1}= 0$ by associativity. But I don't see that it is necessarily true for $(NM)^n$.
I can also see that $MN=0\not\implies NM=0$ but I cannot find an example for $(MN)^n=0$ but $(NM)^n\ne 0$.

No. As it turns out, $MN$ and $NM$ must have the same nonzero eigenvalues (although the multiplicities need not agree), so if $(MN)^n = 0$ then $MN$ has only zero eigenvalues, so the same must be true of $NM$, which must therefore have characteristic polynomial $t^n$.
One elegant proof uses the following lemma: in any ring, $1 - xy$ is invertible if and only if $1 - yx$ is invertible. Now use the fact that $\lambda$ is a nonzero eigenvalue of $MN$ if and only if $1 - \frac{MN}{\lambda}$ is not invertible.
Another proof proceeds as follows: let $M, N$ have entries $m_{ij}, n_{ij}$ which are formal variables in a polynomial ring $R = \mathbb{Z}[m_{ij}, n_{ij}]$. Observe that $$\det(Nt - NMN) = \det(N) \det(t - MN) = \det(t - NM) \det(N).$$
Since $R$ is an integral domain, we conclude that $$\det(t - MN) = \det(t - NM)$$
as polynomials in $R$. So in fact $MN$ and $NM$ must have the same characteristic polynomial. (Note, however, that the first proof is much more general; among other things, it remains valid in infinitely many dimensions.)

On the other hand it is possible for smaller exponents than $n$ the size of the matrices, e.g. $MN$ might be zero while not $NM$. – hardmath May 21 '12 at 20:26

See also here on the proof of $\ $ Sylvester's identity $\rm\ \ det(1+AB) = det(1+BA)\ $ that proceeds by taking $\rm\ det\ $ of $\rm\ (1+A\ B)\ A\ =\ A\ (1+B\ A)\ $ then universally (generically) cancelling $\rm\ det(A)\:,\ $ and see here for more examples of such universal proofs. – Bill Dubuque May 23 '12 at 22:13

You can combine your observation that $(MN)^n=0\implies (NM)^{n+1}=0$ with the result of this other question, showing that $(NM)^{n+1}=0\implies (NM)^n=0$.

Here's another proof of the fact which works over any field $F$ of characteristic $0$, where the following lemma applies:
Lemma. Let $u$ be an endomorphism of a finite dimensional $F$-vector space $V$. Then $u$ is nilpotent iff for all $k=1,\dots,n=\dim V$, $\mathrm{Tr}(u^k)=0$.
Suppose $M,N$ are $n\times n$ matrices with coefficients in a field of characteristic $0$ such that their product is nilpotent, i.e. $(MN)^n=0$. For any $k\geq 1$ $$0=\mathrm{Tr}((MN)^k)=\mathrm{Tr}((MN)^{k-1}MN)=\mathrm{Tr}(N(MN)^{k-1}M)=\mathrm{Tr}((NM)^k)$$ The lemma then implies that $NM$ is nilpotent aswell.

For Anime Model Eyes
2D Eyes Focus
2D eyes focus is suitable for the model which is using fully textured on eyes area.
- Unity 3D
- 3D model which only use a texture for each eyes. Example: (Eye texture)
+Open your ready model and Export using FBX. :
+Import the model into Unity. Make sure the size in Unity is proper scale 1, 1, 1
+Import the custom package of "2D Eyes Focus'
+Add Xeno Eye Iris Focus Component on 3D model inspector
+Set 'Head Model' or any model which have Eyes Material on it
+For the "Eye Level" you need to create child GameObject on your model.
+Make sure the axis of Z (Blue) is aligned with your model facing.
+Now you can rename your 'GameObject' with 'EyeLevel. And now make the head bone as its parent
+Now set the transform position of 'Eye Level' to all 0, 0, 0.
Probably you want to set your rotation to 80, 270, 0. But make sure your 'Eye Level' z-axis is facing same direction with your model face.
+Now you can drag the 'Eye level' into the empty slot of Eye level in 2d eye focus inspector
+'Target' Empty slot is the target for the iris to focus/tracking/follow around. It's up to you what kind of target you want to use.
If you want to use script and change the target in real-time, use this method to call:
var NewTarget : Transform;
var EyeFocusScript : XenoEyeIrisFocus;
EyeFocusScript.Target = NewTarget;
+Eye Setting drop down to setting the eyes. It's all explanatory in the inspector
Have a nice trying 🙂

text: We have proposed a method of simultaneously measuring aerodynamic sound and fluid ow using parallel phaseshifting interferometry (PPSI). PPSI can observe phase of light instantaneously and quantitatively. This method is useful for understanding the aerodynamic sound because PPSI can measure near the source of the aerodynamic sound. However, the components of sound and ow should be separated in order to observe detail near the source of sound inside a region of ow. Therefore, we consider a separation of the component of sound from simultaneously visualized images of sound and ow. In previous research, a spatio-temporal filter was used to extract a component satisfying the wave equation. The ow and the sound are different physical phenomena, and the ow cannot be expressed by the wave equation. Hence, we think that the spatio-temporal filter enables us to separate the component of sound from the simultaneously visualized images. In this paper, we propose a method for separation of ow and sound using spatio-temporal filter in order to visualize the component of the aerodynamic sound near its source. We conducted an experiment of the separation of data measured by PPSI. The results show that the spatio-temporal filter can extract the sound from air-ow except for the sound near objects and boundaries.

The short answer is: It is complicated. The Icelandic constitution says that anyone can live off government land property but that only means berries, mushroom, Icelandic moss, seaweed and the like. It does not mean you can fish or hunt game since all animals in Iceland are protected unless otherwise stated or you got a hunting licence.
What can you eat in Icelandic nature?
Icelanders aren't as lucky as their friends in many other places for we do not have any fruit trees. A few people have started growing apple and pear trees in their gardens, but you won't find those out in the open.
We do, however, have many different kinds of berries such as blueberries, whortleberries, and strawberries. You will also find crowberries and rock brambles (which look a bit like a cross between red currant and raspberries). People also grow black currant, red currant and raspberries but you will not find them out in the wild.
Herbs and spices
Herbs and spices grow wild in Icelandic fields, and you can find creeping thyme (also called the ever so punny name wild thyme) and alpine lady's mantle (which is good for a sore throat). Additionally, chervil, lupine and angelica grow wild around the country.
You will find many kinds of seaweeds at the beach. Of that, Dulse is very popular, and some people call vertebrata lanosa the truffles of the north because they have a similar taste.
If you know mushrooms, you can pick them at will, but if you're not sure about them, it can be dangerous.
What is not allowed?
You cannot hunt animals. You can catch fish in the sea, but you can't catch salmon, trout or any other fish in rivers and lakes unless you have a fishing permit (which is expensive). It's the same with birds, and you definitely cannot hunt lambs, horses, cows or any other domestic animals. They are all privately owned. Reindeer are also off limit. You need to apply for a hunting licence, and it can take up to three years to get permission to use a gun in Iceland.
What does this mean?
It means you will need to buy most of your food. You will not be able to forage enough food for you to survive with Iceland. However, please do forage for spices, berries and other similar things. They are quite delicious.

 Alexandria students raise money for pancreatic diseases after teacher's death
 ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WJLA) - Summer break is just around the corner for students at Hollin Meadows Elementary School.
 The school year has been especially tough for the sixth-graders - their math and science teacher, Jeffrey Firman, was diagnosed with pancreatitis before the school year started, leading him to miss school sometimes throughout the year.
 Sadly, Firman left for spring break and never returned. He died on April 16.
 "Even though we only knew him for half a year, some of us have been here since kindergarten, so we have seen him around. So it was sort of painful," said sixth-grader Richard Harrison.
 Teacher Angie Palma said, when the students returned to school, "they really needed something."
 That something was to keep Mr. Firman's memory alive. The students decided to raise money for all pancreatic diseases.
 "So we can honor him and help other people who are suffering the same illness," sixth-grader Daniel Schudlich explained.
 Before he died, Firman had explained to his classes how serious pancreatic diseases can be, and how limited both research and awareness is currently.
 While Firman didn't have cancer, the statistics are still startling.
 The American Cancer Society estimates that, in 2014, there will be about 46,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer, and roughly 39,000 deaths.
 "Other people are in need because of this illness," Daniel added.
 So far, the students have raised just over $1,600 - but their goal is to raise $2,100, because Mr. Firman taught at Hollin Meadows for 21 years.
 "I know their goal, for the kids, is just to reach it - but I know we can pass it," said Palma.

FLIP Turns 50! Navyâ€™s Floating Instrument Platform One Half Century Old
The Navy's Floating Instrument Platform, better known as FLIP, went into service fifty years ago, in 1962. Â The 355-foot research vesselÂ is capable of operatingÂ horizontallyÂ as a conventional, ifÂ somewhatÂ odd-looking, ship. When on station, however, it "flips" vertically 90 degrees and becomes the equivalent of a massive sparÂ buoy. Â Because the hydrodynamic forces act primarily on the bottom of the vessel, which is far below the surface waves, the ship is highly stable in heavy seas and up to 80′ waves.
You'd think a ship designed after a baseball bat would go over like a foul ball when it comes to seaworthiness, but research ship FLIP has been a hit since its launch 50 years ago.
Operated by Scripps and owned by the U.S. Navy, the 355-foot FLIP was designed by Phillip Rudnick, Fred H. Fisher, and Fred N. Spiess, and first tested in July 1962 as part of an anti-submarine rocket program. It was recently shown off in the Pacific for its birthday.

There are many plugins which enhance registration options, but I have seen none which allow for users to be automatically sorted into different usergroups upon registration, based on custom criteria.
The native settings currently allow for the all new registrants to be placed into a certain role, initially. My knowledge of PHP is beginner level, but it seems much of like this would be easy to do, since many of the basic functions already exist.
- If registration email contains user-defined criteria, then filter into certain user group automatically. Highly useful if you say, wanted to have a student usergroup for large numbers of students. Upon registering with an activation link from a.edu email, they are sorted as such. Numerous other applications apply
Add a single field to registration form, which allows for any possible sorting profile based on an alphanumeric value entered in this field.
- The option to turn a single field, lets call it "referral code", on during registration.
- User then specifies rules for sorting new registrants into different user roles (would be incredible if this could hook up with the capabilities of plugins like
to create a rule which says something like:
- If referral code contains the string "AT2", then place into "X" usergroup, which has the ability to view content restricted (by currently existing plugins) to groups X,D,and R.
Another way to add powerful functionality for sites which require a lot of automated user management and categorization would be to add a means of easily adding custom profile fields to user's profile. These fields could be hidden to public, or visible to public.
This would then be combined with user defined rules which modify this information in user's profiles. For example:
- If X radio button value was selected during registration, and Y checkmark was selected, then add a note saying "Z" to that user's profile, and make this note hidden to public, and the user.

How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion
Even though I tend to draw very peaceful looking characters in most of my pieces, I really like to play with emotions and take some time to do some fun exercises. The more exaggerated the better and you can play a lot with angry expressions!
Let's go over, step by step, on how to draw an angry expression, so that in the end, you can draw your character looking furious and be able to play even more with drawing angry expressions!
Drawing Emotions using the Eyebrows
When drawing any kind of expression, the eyebrows can do most of the work here!
Not sure where to start with the Emotion?
Draw the Eyebrow! Exaggerating a the curves of your eyebrows can change a lot on the expression of your character.
Try putting yourself in front of a mirror and study your reflection.
As you go from expression to expression, you'll notice that in every single one of them, the eyebrows play a very big part in emphasizing it!
Actually, there are a lot of artists and animators that work with a small mirror on their desk.
This way, they can test and watch their reflections as a reference when drawing their characters.
How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion! Step by step guide by Don Corgi
If you have a small mirror at home, try and do the same: sit at your desk for around 30 minutes or one hour and practice expressions while using yourself as a reference!
Another option is to just look up on the internet some images and make your studies from there.
Remember, when sketching up and drawing, to try and exaggerate the expressions and your lines, it gives more personality and a different motion to your drawings.
Of course, there's the last option, that's a mix of both of these!
Take photos of yourself or a friend.
If jumping between drawing and looking at a mirror seems too complicated, or you can't just a reference image good enough. Then, take a picture of yourself or ask for a friend to pose for you!
Take photos of yourself or a friend to help you getting references to draw emotions like an angry face!
So let's start with our eyebrows first:
Tilting the Eyebrow helps a LOT when trying to convey angry emotions.
Simply tilt it towards the nose, making a very slanted line, with the outside tips going away from the eyes.
The more you tilt them, the more exaggerated your expression will be.
Tilt the eyebrow to make your angry expression stronger!
Of course, if you want a more passive angry face, drawing the eyebrows really close to the eyes to the job. If you want the expression to be very flat but still judgy, draw them almost straight and on top of the eyes.
Once again, the tilted you make them, the angrier it will look like, so it's up to you how you want to convey your character's emotions!
Draw the Eyebrows close to the Eyes to make your expression even angrier!
Larger Eyes Makes Angrier Expressions!
As a general rule, the larger the eye the more emphasis it gives to the expression.
It doesn't matter what kind of shape you're drawing the eyes with, but the bigger you do them, the angrier your character looks.
It's the difference between being angry and furious.
This also works with other emotions: simply scared to terrified, sad to agonized, surprised to astounded and so on.
The size of the eye works like a balance for your emotions.
The bigger, the more emotional it is. So when you're making Angry Eyes and want that extra boost of expression, increase the overall size of the eye. This will make it look extra angry.
In the images below, I give you two examples, one of them you can see that the eye has a very regular size and the other I exaggerated it a lot, making them really big.
A regular sized eye looks like this.
The Larger the eyes, the angrier the expression looks!
Try out both ways and even some other eye sizes in-between so you can really understand the differences, by practicing.
You can even make your drawings, all side by side, scaling them up so you can use it for reference whenever you want to draw angry characters!
On Another Note… Drawing the Iris
We've talked about the size of the eye, let's now talk about yet another important element when drawing expressions: the iris!
When drawing the iris you should draw it small for an angrier expression.
The contrast between a small dot for the iris and a vast white around it, speaks to us, visually, of urgency, panic, and even lunacy.
Draw a tiny Iris to make your expression stronger, like your character is in panic or lunacy.
The size you decide for the iris can make your character look like a real psycho or someone that has completely lost their mind.
For example, someone who's so angry that is way past any kind of logic and reason.
Drawing it too big, can make it look like the character isn't phased at all with what happened, which is also something you can make use of.
A character that is beyond human emotions or a very evil character that doesn't really care what's happening and how much destruction they cause.
If you draw the Iris bigger, you can still make it look like a bad character who doesn't care about all the destruction he's causing.
Once again, you can make the same kind of exercise as before, draw the eyes with different iris sizes, scaling them up and compare each other and how they feel.
Other than the iris, you can also play with the eyebrows and eye size.
Mix and match them and see how many different results you can get!
The Angriest Mouth in the World
Mouths have feelings too!
Well.. kind of.
You can't draw an expression with merely the eyes, the rest as to show the emotion as well, a wrinkled nose goes very well with the angry eyes for example!
The mouth also plays a big role when drawing any kind of expression. One of the easiest ways to express an angry attitude with the mouth is to show some teeth.
Show some teeth! It helps drawing an angry emotion.
Like we talked before, simply try to get angry at the mirror and say something, you'll notice how your teeth tend to show when you're angry.
On another note, an angry *grr* kind of expression almost like a dog works wonders.
The curve of the mouth and its size are two other very important aspects to pay attention to. Depending on it, the way you read the emotion can change a lot!
Let's pick an example, surely you've seen some Batman movies, series, and comics.
Surely you've seen the iconic Joker even if it was in a mug or t-shirt.
His character is a great example when talking about expressions.
He's very expressive and exaggerated. We know he's completely mad and there's no reason left in him, but we don't know this merely by his actions, every tiny visual detail tell us that!
The Joker is a perfect example of someone who has a scary and lunatic face.
"Joker" from The Killing Joke comic, by DC Comics
In a state of pure malice, Joker's face will appear angry, with very tilted eyebrows, big eyes, a tiny dot for an iris and finally, a very opened, big mouth, tilted upwards.
You can tell by the way the mouth curves, he's obviously enjoying his hostility and his "pranks".
So if you're not sure how to draw a character who enjoys how evil they are, Joker will never fail you, look up some comics and you can find a ton of references from it!
Let's take another example: Guts, from Kentaro Miura's famous manga Berserk, is the perfect example of an angry character. An example of someone who turned to anger to find the strength to survive and fight.
Guts from Berserk shows frustration mixed with anger.
The character "Guts" from the Berserk Manga
His mouth, often curves downward, angry, frustrated and when furious his mouth will be drawn opened, showing a lot of teeth, but this time, as oppose to Joker, it tilts upside down.
Guts isn't completely out of his mind, all out of reasoning. Nor does he enjoy it.
No, he's in pain and he's furious, but still very much conscient of his own actions (for the most part, but that's a whole other matter!).
So from this two examples, you can clearly see how you can play with the mouth to change the tone of the emotions you want to portray and how it has such an important role in drawing an expression as the eyes!
Complement the Angry Face with Details!
It's all about the tiny details!
If you've done all the steps and still want to add a little more "oomph" to the face, focus on the details! When drawing a face and expressions, the whole face responds to the emotion.
Wrinkles tend to show around the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Same goes with the eyebrows when they grow very close together. Again, try and make a very angry face at your mirror and look at all the lines that appear around your face!
Add some Gleam and details to the eyes to make the expressions look angrier.
If you want to go really overboard with it, you can add some gleam to the eyes or some bits of saliva connecting the teeth and even a tongue showing up!
Once again it's all about experimenting and trying new things, go completely overboard with it. Think of a character, but before drawing it, think about their traits:
Let's say I want to draw a vampire, hungry for blood, insatiable.

Howard B. Keck; Oil Magnate, Philanthropist
Howard B. Keck, an oil magnate and philanthropist who was chairman and president of the Superior Oil Co. and the W.M. Keck Foundation, has died. He was 83.
Keck, who had retired from active work on the foundation a year ago, died Saturday in Santa Monica.
The scion of Superior founder W.M. Keck Sr., Howard Keck worked from an early age in California oil fields along with his brother William and their father. Howard Keck succeeded his father as chairman of the independent oil and gas company in 1964.
He was known particularly for pioneering offshore drilling along the Gulf Coast. When court squabbling over his father's fortune sparked the sale of Superior in 1984, Keck led shareholders in securing the sale to Mobil Corp. for $5.7 billion.
Keck turned his energies to the foundation, which he headed from 1964 to 1995. The sole trustee of his father's charitable trust, he became particularly identified with the W.M. Keck Observatory on Hawaii's Mauna Kea.
During his tenure, the family's charitable trust grew from $250 million to $1.2 billion. In that period, the trust and foundation awarded $550 million in grants to science, medicine, higher education and the arts.
Keck was a trustee of Caltech when he became personally engrossed in the Keck Observatory and its internationally known Keck Telescope. The huge telescope was conceived by the University of California. But Caltech was brought into the project on the condition that Caltech raise some funding.
The self-educated Keck stepped in, offering to fully fund the telescope--but only if Caltech rather than UC controlled the project.
After months of negotiation, Keck agreed to a joint project with UC and Caltech sharing 90% of the telescope's viewing time.
Other Keck projects included use of free-electron laser technology in surgery, molecular studies to improve pharmaceuticals, precision measurement and observation of the ocean environment and studies in genetics.
Keck also bred and raced Thoroughbred horses. His stables produced Ferdinand, the 1986 winner of the Kentucky Derby.

How did Bronze Age soldiers fight? How did they build their houses? Experimental archaeology has the answers!
Have you ever wondered how archaeologists can describe the way an ancient people made or used a particular artefact? The answer lies in what is called experimental archaeology which involves the re-creation and testing of physical artefacts, such as making an old bow and arrow to see how it would have been used. A number of prehistoric buildings, for example, have been rebuilt to allow archaeologists to study the techniques of building and the processes of decay.
Proving a point
One of the most famous experiments to date is Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition. Heyerdahl's theory concerned the colonisation of parts of Polynesia. Polynesia is a collection of islands situated between New Zealand and South America. Most archaeologists at the time believed that Polynesian people had come from Southeast Asia, but Heyerdahl believed that the people came from America, despite the journey from America being longer and more difficult.
To give his theory some credibility, Heyerdahl decided to experiment. Records showed that in 1526, a Spanish expedition had encountered a large balsa raft far out into the sea. The Spaniards had made a very detailed description of the craft. In 1950, Heyerdahl constructed a raft using the same basic materials and set-up. His craft made the 6900-km journey from the western coast of South America to the Tuamotu Islands. Some of the superficial features such as the cabin and masts were destroyed by the waves, but most of the cargo and all of the crew made it safely. This experiment didn't change everyone's thinking on the origin of the inhabitants of Polynesia, but it showed that it was possible.
Leather vs metal
One of the oddest experiments concerned shields. In 1963 two swords, a metal shield and a leather shield were made to resemble as closely as possible Late Bronze Age English weapons. Then two respectable archaeologists each equipped himself with one of the shields and a sword and started fighting. Fortunately it was a very short fight as the metal shield was cut and slashed into pieces by the first blows while the leather shield stood repeated heavy blows. The conclusion was that the metal shields were not suitable for actual physical conflict. Who said archaeology was boring?


Collaborate vs. Corroborate – What's the Difference?
When you work together with people toward a shared goal, are you corroborating with them, or collaborating with them?
Likewise, what are you doing when you confirm someone else's telling of events with your own account of what happened?
If you cannot decide which word refers to which scenario, you are not alone. All writers misuse words, and collaborate and corroborate are easy words to confuse. They sound very similar, and they are not commonly used verbs.
Still, they refer to different activities, and cannot be freely substituted for each other. You should be careful to use words intentionally whenever you write—and especially so when writing for professional or academic situations. These are the instances where collaborate and corroborate are more likely to be used anyway.
What is the Difference Between Collaborate and Corroborate?
In this post, I will compare collaborate vs. corroborate. I will use each word in example sentences to illustrate its proper use and context.
Plus, I will outline a mnemonic that you can use to decide whether collaborate or corroborate is the word you actually mean to use in your sentence.
When to Use Collaborate
collaborate versus corroborate What does collaborate mean? Collaborate is a verb. It means to work together on a project or activity.
For example,
 - "I would love to collaborate with my favorite author on my new novel, but my favorite author is dead," said the writer.
 - "Collaboration begets innovation!" Sue reminded her coworkers.
 - The effort to collaborate with and interact with a wider segment of Americans beyond D.C. politicians and staffers is essential, both to bring new ideas into the Beltway and to encourage private efforts in lieu of or to supplement public initiatives. –The Washington Post
When to Use Corroborate
Definition of corroborate definition and definition of collaborate definition What does corroborate mean? Corroborate is a also verb that means to confirm or verify, as if by outside, confirming evidence. Corroborate often appears in legal and scientific contexts.
For example,
 - "Security footage from the casino corroborates the suspect's story," said the investigator.
 - "Our findings are corroborated by a wide body of existing literature," said the researcher.
 - My plea of innocence was corroborated by eyewitness accounts that the robbery was actually committed by a flying robot.
 - Sergey Betov, a Belarussian doubles specialist, was first found to bear no fault or negligence in April, after the low concentration of meldonium in his sample was shown to corroborate his account of having last taken meldonium in October. –The New York Times
Trick to Remember the Difference
Define corroborate and define collaborate Here is a helpful trick to remember corroborate vs. collaborate.
Collaborate and corroborate are both verbs, but they mean different things. If you notice that the word collaborate contains the word labor, it should be easy to remember that collaborate means to work together. This way, you will always know which verb to choose.
Is it collaborate or corroborate? Many English users confuse these words because they sound so similar. However, there are no contexts in which they are interchangeable, and you must be careful to use the correct one when you write.
 - Collaborate and corroborate are both verbs.
 - To collaborate is to work together on something.
 - To corroborate is to confirm or support something with evidence.
One easy way to keep these words straight in your mind is by noticing that the word collaborate contains the word labor. Since collaborate means to work together and labor is a synonym of work, remembering when to choose collaborate is as simple as looking at its spelling.
In summary,
 - Collaborate means to work together.
 - Corroborate means to confirm with supporting evidence.

If you have problems reducing the colors on a raster image try the following.
Combine automatic and manual reduction
Use a combination of automatic and manual color reduction.
For example, if you have a 256 color image that you want to reduce to 16 colors, you could try reducing it to 32 colors automatically and then making the final reduction manually using Palette Menu > View/Edit Palette.
Rescan the drawing
Color reduction will not work well on muddy, wishy-washy colors.
Experiment with your scanner's brightness and contrast settings and rescan the drawing so that the colors on the raster image are as high contrast, vibrant and saturated as possible.
Thin the raster image before reducing the colors
Some raster images have lines with "haloes" that are not the same color as the main line. To resolve this problem, try thinning the image before you reduce the colors.
Despeckle the raster image after reducing the colors
Despeckle the raster image after reducing the colors to make the reduced color areas more uniform.
Vectorize the image using the Vector Colors to Raster Colors method
If you can't reduce the colors acceptably or it is taking too long, try vectorizing the raster image using the Vector Colors to Raster Colors method.

Flickerstrings is a new experimental work created by the developer of FIG and Jump on Mushrooms: The Game. In it, players are required to draw an object to use as a playable character, starting from the brown box and ending when the maximum line length is reached. Once drawn, the shape can be moved around using the cursor keys. This shape turns into an immovable platform when the player attempts to draw another shape from the brown box.
The length of each string is limited, but you can cancel any mistakes by right clicking before the shape is drawn. You can also press the space key to restart a level at any time.
There are a total of twelve stages included in this version.

Challenges associated with dividing cryptocurrency in a divorce
Cryptocurrency, or digital currency used to buy goods and services, is becoming increasingly common in Maryland divorce cases. Diving cryptocurrency in a divorce may prove complicated in comparison to splitting up other types of assets. Many former couples dealing with cryptocurrency may need to enlist the aid of someone with particular knowledge in this area.
Per CNBC, an estimated 20 million Americans now own cryptocurrency. What are some of the hurdles associated with handling and dividing cryptocurrency in a divorce?
Determining value
Cryptocurrency is volatile, meaning it may have a particular value one day and then that value may plunge or inflate the following day. This presents challenges for divorce attorneys who are trying to place a value on it and divide it accordingly.
Assessing tax implications
There may also be tax implications associated with dividing cryptocurrency in a divorce. Divorcing parties may run into trouble if one of them did not report cryptocurrency income to the IRS on taxes. This is a common problem among those who owned cryptocurrency before tax forms relating to it underwent regular distribution. Parties may also run into capital gains issues relating to cryptocurrency, depending on circumstances.
Transferring ownership
A third cryptocurrency-related complication that may arise during divorce involves how one party transfers cryptocurrency to the other. The process involved in transferring cryptocurrency is often complex, and some of the options for doing so involve a certain level of risk. In some cases, doing so may require the help of a financial professional.
As ownership of cryptocurrency becomes more commonplace, cryptocurrency-related divorce issues may continue to arise.

Nitrogen split applications
The efficiency of nitrogen (N) fertilizer use can be improved by monitoring leaf color at 7- to 10-day intervals with the leaf color chart (LCC) and only applying N fertilizer as needed by the crop (see LCC fact sheet).
An alternative approach to N fertilizer timing and management is presented here for cases when it is not feasible for farmers to visit their fields on 7- to 10-day intervals.
What is the N splitting pattern approach
The splitting pattern approach provides a recommendation for the total N fertilizer requirement (kg/ha) and a plan for the splitting and timing of applications in accordance with crop growth stage, cropping season, variety used, and crop establishment method. LCC can be used to adjust individual topdressings. Estimate the required total amount of fertilizer N and develop a splitting pattern. Use the LCC at critical growth stages to adjust predetermined fertilizer N rates.
How to estimate the total fertilizer N requirement
Establish minus fertilizer (–F) plots in farmers' fields (see Fact Sheet Nutrient Omission Plots). Compare yield from the –F plot, which represents the N-limited yield, to a target yield for the site, based on knowledge of attainable yield with the anticipated crop and fertilizer management. The difference between the target yield and N-limited yield represents the anticipated response of rice to N fertilizer.
Determine the total fertilizer N requirement based on a need of 40 to 50 kg N/ha per ton of anticipated response to N. As a general principle 40 kg N per ton N response is appropriate in high yielding seasons, and 50 kg N per ton response is appropriate in lower yielding seasons. A high N requirement of 60 kg N per ton response is observed at sub-optimal N management or when target yield is near potential yield providing a low N response (< 2 t/ha).
How to use the LCC in the splitting pattern approach
Use the critical LCC values given in the Fact Sheet Leaf Color Chart to adjust the amount of split N rates based on crop demand and plant N status. For example, if 30±10 kg N per ha is recommended for a certain growth stage,
- apply 40 kg N/ha, if the leaf color is below the critical value
- apply the standard rate of 30 kg N/ha if the leaf color is equal to the critical value
- postpone the fertilizer application and apply a lower rate of 20 kg N/ha if the leaf color is above the critical LCC value.
How to develop a splitting pattern
Use the tables on the right to look up splitting patterns for fertilizer N for the recommendation domain. Further adaptation to local conditions with farmers' participation may be required.

Do zero onset syllables in English start with a glottal stop?
asked 2015-09-02 10:34:46 -0500
MariaJoy gravatar image
My Arabic professor was explaining how there are no zero-onset syllables in Arabic because if they don't start with another consonant, they at least start with a glottal stop. He said we do the same thing in English -words like 'Alison' and 'Ian' and 'outside, etc. all start with a glott stop, but we aren't trained to hear it. Is this true?

Sorry, Darling, how much child benefit data is missing?
UK chancellor Alistair Darling recently admitted that discs containing personal details of families claiming child benefit had been lost
How much information can be in each record if there are 25m child benefit records on two CDs? David Baxter
A standard CD-R will hold 703MB of data -- about 737m characters -- so two discs will hold 1.474bn. That would only be 59 characters per record. However, it seems there are only 7.25m records, each record being a family with one or more children. That would provide 203 characters of data per family, which is enough to include names and dates of birth, an address and bank details.
The simplest way to put a single database on to two CDs is to zip it using an archiving program such as WinZip. This would allow password protection, and would also compress the data. Text can easily be compressed into less than half the space, allowing more data to be stored on the discs. In this case, it could provide from 300 to 400 characters per family.
And remember, with coding, many data fields take up very little space. Country of birth, for example, only needs two characters.


How Do Snails Make Shells – How are They Formed
I was doing a bit of gardening recently when I came across a snail with a chunk of its shell missing. I thought to myself, how do these shells work? I wander if the little guy can grow another one…? I did some further digging, excuse the pun, and this is what I uncovered!
How do snails make shells?
Snails make their shells with a gland called the 'mucous pedal gland'. The function of this gland is to produce a calcium rich mucous which the snail spreads on the outer rim of the original shell. Over time this mucous hardens, at first forming a weak, soft edge that eventually becomes hard like the rest. This process is repeated as necessary to ensure the shell grows along with the snail. Land, garden and sea snails all follow the same shell growth process.
Through my research I also discovered that there are over forty thousand species of snail and some of them only live in water. Can you imagine that?! I also discovered just how important a role the shells play in the life of a snail and how some of their reproductive methods are totally crazy. Check this out!
Do snails have shells when they are born
All snails are born with a basic soft shell called a 'protoconch'. The shells are made of calcium carbonate, which is a chemical compound of calcium and protein also found in rocks, seashells and even dark green vegetables.
Where Do Snail Shells come from & How are Snail Shells Formed
As a snail reaches maturity, their original shell becomes the smallest part of the spiral we see in all snail shells. As the shell grows, it is pushed around the snail like an unwinding spring, this is the reason for the spiral shape. Because of the way the snail forms it's shell it is also capable of repairing it, the mucous excretion acting like glue to seal a wound – so I'm sure my little garden friend will be fine.
Now, given that the shell is made of calcium carbonate, you might have guessed that the main ingredient for the shell is calcium – this means that to grow a shell effectively, snails must consume large quantities of it to fuel their mucous production. All snails hatch from calcium dense eggs and instinct tells them to eat the eggshell after they hatch. This sets them on the path of seeking out calcium – from birth they hunt for anything and everything plant based containing this essential dietary ingredient (snails are omnivores with very few genetically exceptional species that may occasionally eat fish or other snails).
Land snails often look for green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. Snails that spend their lives in the water have a diet primarily consisting of plants like algae and kelp.
Diet has a large impact on the pattern of the shell too! Snails with a diverse diet tend to have more vibrant and interesting patterned shell, which is why sea snails living in warmer climates tend to be the most eye-catching, due to the larger variety of available foods.
How Do Snails Make Shells
How Do Snails Make Shells
Why do snails have a shell?
The purpose of a snail's shell is very diverse and it's kind of like a little snail house, though it's technically a living part of the snail. Because of the genetic make-up of a snail, like all members of the gastropod family, their entire body is very moist – maintained by their mucous production mentioned earlier – as such, they require a moist environment to survive.
This is why we rarely see snails on the sidewalk when it's sunny and dry, it makes it very difficult and uncomfortable for the snail to move around as it has to produce far more mucous to do so. If it's really hot, then the shell acts as a very necessary sun shield where the snail can retreat into and stay nice and wet. Shells are also very useful as a means of defence against predators such as birds and fish – the strong shell being virtually impenetrable to many species.
They can also hide well as their shells often camouflage well with the environment in which they get their food from – as I mentioned earlier, the shell pattern and colour changes based on diet. If a snail feels threatened it can retract its entire body into the shell so that only very persistent and well-equipped predators can get at them. Birds like the song thrush will clasp a snail in its strong beak and repeatedly smash it against a solid object until they successfully break the hard shell.
Other large predators such as blue jays, ravens, hawks and owls will actually swallow smaller snails whole, in which case the shells are likely only to cause a minor stomach upset for their attackers…hardly a fair trade!
How are snails attached to their shells?
While we might look at the shell as the snail's home, it is attached from birth and cannot be removed. The shell should be considered as an extension of the snail itself, like a human's ribcage.
Can a snail live without its shell or Do Snails Die when their Shells Break?
The short answer is, sadly, no. So, if my little friend's shell was more severely damaged, he probably wouldn't have made it.
Imagine if your rib cage was on the outside of your body. Our ribcage is very important for our survival as it protects our important bits! Without our ribcage we couldn't survive as it supports our ability to breathe and it is the same for the snail. Not only does the snail breathe through a breathing hole in its shell, it simply wouldn't survive the elements without it. Who would have known that a snail's greatest defence mechanism is also one of its most vital organs!
Can snails regrow their shells?
As mentioned earlier, a snail can make minor repairs to their shell as needed, however, to regrow the entire shell would sadly be impossible because to lose the shell means death.
Where do snails come from? Reproduction and more!
One of the most interesting finds I came across in my search for snail information is that the majority of snails don't reproduce like humans, or many other mammals at that. In fact, their reproduction methods are incredibly rare in the sense that most snails are hermaphrodites. This means that the snail is both male and female – possessing all necessary elements required to produce both egg and sperm. This means that a snail can reproduce all by itself, isn't that crazy?! While it is possible for snails to reproduce by themselves, they generally prefer to find a mate, because the chance of survival for a baby snail that is self-fertilised is much lower than if they produce with a sexual partner.
One of the most fascinating discoveries I came across is that some species of snail use a mechanism commonly called a 'love dart'. Love darts are made up of calcium and contain hormones that help to enhance reproductive capability of the party that is 'shot' with the dart. Love darts are typically present in snails who have been sexually mature for a while and reproduced in the past. In the final stages of reproduction snails will shoot these love darts into their sexual partners as a part of the mating ritual.
The only problem is that sometimes these darts that are designed to help with successful reproduction, actually have the potential to pass right through the snail on impact and damage vital organs! It's a good thing these snails don't have thought processes like human beings – they are very instinct oriented beings. Otherwise these particular species would probably die out from fear of reproducing!
Save the snail shell!
What a journey that was – I hope you enjoyed learning about snails as much as I did! Remember that all snails are born with their shell and that it is vital for their survival. So, if you're ever in the garden and you see a snail with a cracked shell, you can help the snail by moving it out of the sun so that it doesn't dry out while it's repairing itself. Some people have been recorded to use glue or sticky tape successfully to help fix snail shells, but that might be a level of commitment you're not looking for with your little garden friends. (Or pests, depending on who you ask!)

When processing a pre-tax deduction for salary sacrifice purposes, if you have set the payment type to 'manual' or 'bank account', it means these payments aren't being reported to the ATO as RESC payments. To make it more difficult, these instances are only usually noticed at EOFY when the final STP event is being published.
NB: As at 4 November 2020 we made changes to the RESC deduction category in order to help users avoid incorrectly allocating RECS deductions to anything other than a super fund. This article provides detailed information about these changes.
If however, these payments were made before these changes, you are able to perform the below functions via pay events in order to fix them.
Correcting RESC values within a pay event
This action can be used for fixing incorrectly allocated payment methods against super salary sacrifice payments. Payments that have been set up to be paid to a 'bank account' or'manually' will not appear in the pay/update event as RESC. Once you have created your update/pay event the process to fix this is:
- Select the Actions > Correct RESC values option:
- Select the employee you need to make the correction for and either one of, or any, relevant deduction categories:
- Show deductions - will display a list of all the incorrectly allocated deductions for the current financial year:
- Once the relevant deduction/s have been selected, a 'Change the payment method of these deductions to this superfund' section will appear with a drop-down list of all the super funds that are listed for the employee. Once the required super fund has been selected click on the 'Change payment method' button:
- Click on 'Yes' to confirm the number of deductions and the super fund they will be allocated to. NOTE - this action cannot be undone!
- Once the confirmation modal is closed the pay event will update automatically:
To find out more about RESC contributions, see this article.
If you have any questions/comments let us know via _EMAIL_

Offshore Banking Unit (OBU)
What it is:
An offshore banking unit is a bank branch in another country.
How it works (Example):
Why it Matters:
OBUs are common in the Caribbean and Asia but are found all over the world. They are far less restricted in terms of their allowed activities because they usually are not subject to many of the financial regulations of the country in which they are located. For this reason, investors may be able to obtain better interest rates from OBUs and they may be able to avoid taxation or retain privacy by moving to an OBU. Secrecy, however, is not guaranteed.


What to do after a death
Hendon Mosque is a member of the NAFD.
Muslim law and tradition have endowed a Muslim's funeral with profound religious significance and it should, in every respect, express the dignity, sanctity and modesty of a solemn religious service.
The five stages that follow the death of a Muslim are:
 1. The final bathing (ghusl) of the deceased – tajheez.
 2. The shrouding (kafan) of the deceased – takfeen.
 3. The funeral prayers – janazah salah.
 4. The funeral procession – carrying the bier to the grave.
 5. The burial of the deceased – tadfeen.
It is very important to complete the above stages as quickly as possible, for Rasulullah (saw) has emphasised:
"Make haste at a funeral; if the dead person was good, it is a good state to which you are sending him on; but if he was otherwise it is an evil of which you are ridding yourselves."
Even if the person dies on a Friday, the scholars have stated, "it is better to make all arrangements and bury the deceased before Jumu'ah salah" and that "delaying the funeral with the thought that there will be more participants after jumu'ah is undeseriable".
Moreover, the blessings and forgiveness for the deceased that will be acquired by adhering to the command of Rasulullah (saw) is more worthy then delaying the janazah salah, even with the possibility that more participants may attend.
Sharee'ah has also prohibited the delaying of the burial on account of a certain relative being overseas and this person's inability to arrive quickly, for example, due to the unavailbility of a flight.
Please note, to enable the burial to take place as quickly as possible we need to comply with the formalities of the law of this country, which requires that the death is certified and registered. These formalities (summarised below) are extracted from the official document What to do after a death in England and Wales.
If the Death Occurs in a Hospital
If the death occurs in hospital, the hospital staff will contact the person named by the deceased as next of kin. The hospital will then keep the body in the hospital mortuary until the executor arranges for it to be taken away and the hospital staff will arrange for the nearest relative to collect the deceased's possessions.
If the Death Occurs Elsewhere
If the death was expected, you should contact the doctor who attended the deceased during their final illness.
If the death was unexpected/sudden or you discover a body, you should contact the following people:
 1. The family doctor
 2. The deceased's next of kin
 3. The local mosque
Cause of Death
If the cause of death is quite clear the doctor will give you:
 1. A Medical Certificate that shows the cause of death (this is free of charge and will be given in a sealed envelope addressed to the registrar).
 2. A Formal Notice that states that a doctor has signed the Medical Certificate and tells you how the death can be registered.
If the cause of the death was known to be a natural illness, but the doctors wish to know more about the cause of death, they may ask the relatives for permission to carry out a medical examination of the body (i.e. post-mortem) to find out more about the cause of death. Islam does not permit post-mortems in this instance and no such permission should be given.
If the death follows illness from HIV or AIDS there may be special rules about handling the body.
Reporting a Death to the Coroner
The coroner is a doctor or lawyer responsible for investigating deaths in particular situations and may be the only person able to certify the cause of death.
In any of the following circumstances, the doctor may report the death to the coroner and write on the Formal Notice that the death has been referred to the coroner:
 1. An accident or injury
 2. An industrial disease
 3. During a surgical operation
 4. Before recovery from an anaesthetic
 5. If the cause of death is unknown
 6. The death was sudden and unexplained, e.g. a sudden infant death (cot death).
If the doctor treating the deceased had not seen him or her, either after the death or within 14 days before the death, the death must be reported to the coroner.
The coroner may arrange for a post-mortem examination of the body. The consent of the relative is not needed, but they are entitled to be represented at the examination by a doctor. When relatives have told the coroner they wish to be represented, the coroner will if at all practicable, tell them when and where the examination will be.
The coroner will pay for the removal of a body from the place of death to the mortuary for post-mortem examination. The relatives may choose the funeral director.
If the post-mortem shows that death was due to natural causes, the coroner may issue a notification known as the Pink Form (Form 100), which gives the cause of death so that the death can be registered. The coroner usually sends the form direct to the registrar but may give it to you to deliver.
If the death was violent, unnatural, caused by an industrial disease, occurred in prison or if the cause of death remains uncertain after post-mortem examination, the coroner will hold an inquest. An inquest is an enquiry into the medical cause and circumstances of a death. It is held in public, sometimes with a jury, and it is up to the coroner how to organise the enquiry in a way that best serves the public interest and the interests of the relatives.
If an inquest is held, the coroner must inform the following people:
 1. The married partner of the deceased
 2. The nearest relative (if different)
 3. And the personal representative (if different from above).
Relatives can attend an inquest and ask questions of witnesses but they may only ask questions about the medical cause and circumstances of the death. It may also be important to have a lawyer to represent you if the death was caused by a road accident or an accident at work.
The coroner may give you an Order for Burial (form 101) so that the funeral can take place and may be done before the inquest is completed, provided the body is not required for further examination.
The coroner will also send the registrar a Certificate After Inquest (form 99 [rev]) stating the cause of death – this allows the death to be registered.
If you want advice or information about a death which has been reported to the coroner, contact the coroner's officer. You can get the address from the police station or, if the death was in hospital, the hospital official dealing with deaths.
Registering the Death
To avoid delay, the death must be registered by the Registrars of Births and Deaths for the sub-district in which the death occurred. You can find their address by visiting the official website of the General Register Office, in the phone book under 'Registration of Births, Deaths & Marriages', from the doctor, local council, post office or police station.
Check when the registrar will be available and whether only you need to go along. It may be that someone other than you will be needed to give information for the death to be registered.
If the death has been referred to the coroner, it cannot be registered until the registrar has received authority from the coroner to do so (see above), otherwise, go to the registrar as soon as possible.
When you go to the registrar you should take all these:
 1. The medical certificate of the cause of the death
 2. The deceased's medical card, if possible
 3. The pink form (form 100), if one has been given to you by the coroner
 4. The deceased's birth and marriage certificates, if available
You should tell the registrar:
 1. The date and place of death
 2. The deceased's last (usual) address
 3. The deceased's first names and surname (and the maiden name where appropriate)
 4. The deceased's date and place of birth (town and country if born in the UK, and country if born abroad)
 5. The deceased's occupation and the name and occupation of their spouse
 6. Whether the deceased was getting a pension or allowance from public funds
 7. If the deceased was married, the date of birth of the surviving widow or widower.
The Registrar will give you:
 1. A Certificate for Burial – known as the Green Form – (unless the coroner has already given you an Order for Burial). These forms will give permission for the body to be buried and should be taken to the cemetery to enable the funeral to take place.
 2. Leaflets about widows' benefits and income tax for widows.
 3. A Certificate of Registration of Death (form BD8 [rev]). This is for Social Security purposes only. Read the information on the back of the certificate. If any of it applies, fill in the certificate and show it to your Social Security office.
The Death Certificate
The death certificate is a certified copy of the one in the death register and the registrar can let you have one if you wish, but you will have to pay a fee.
You may need a Death Certificate for the will and for any pension claims, savings bank

Seasonal safeguarding reminder for Door Supervisors
Christmas is coming, and pubs and clubs will soon be full of Christmas get-togethers, office parties, and people celebrating the arrival of the holidays. It is also a time when some people can find themselves in a dangerous situation, either inside a venue or out on the streets, and in need of extra protection.
Door supervisors can make a big difference to the outcome of a night out by intervening to assist a vulnerable person in trouble and helping them to make it home safe.
We want to reinforce some of the key messages from our SIA-mandated door supervisor training and emphasise the importance of safeguarding vulnerable people in the night-time economy.
How can a door supervisor help to keep vulnerable people safe?
Recognise the risks to vulnerable people being ejected from, or refused entry to a venue, the risks include:
Being under the influence of drink or drugs
Receiving unwanted attention
Being too young to look after themselves
Becoming the target of a sexual predator
What actions can be taken by a door supervisor to protect vulnerable people?
Call a friend or relative to assist them
Call a licensed taxi to take them home
Use a 'safe haven'
Ask street pastors or street marshals to assist
Call the police
Can you recognise behaviours that could indicate potential sexual predators? These often include:
A lone male seen pestering a customer or member of staff
A heavily intoxicated female leaving with a male
A regular attendee frequently leaving with different intoxicated females
Finding a date-rape type drug on a person during a search

A violin plot is a statistical graphic for comparing probability distributions. It is similar to a box plot, with the addition of a rotated kernel density plot on each side.
The violin plot was proposed in 1997 by Jerry L. Hintze and Ray D. Nelson as a way to display even more information than box plots, which were created by John Tukey in 1977. The name comes from the plot's alleged resemblance to a violin.
Violin plots are similar to box plots, except that they also show the probability density of the data at different values, usually smoothed by a kernel density estimator. A violin plot will include all the data that is in a box plot: a marker for the median of the data; a box or marker indicating the interquartile range; and possibly all sample points, if the number of samples is not too high.
While a box plot shows a summary statistics such as mean/median and interquartile ranges, the violin plot shows the full distribution of the data. The violin plot can be used in multimodal data (more than one peak). In this case a violin plot shows the presence of different peaks, their position and relative amplitude.
Like box plots, violin plots are used to represent comparison of a variable distribution (or sample distribution) across different "categories" (for example, temperature distribution compared between day and night, or distribution of car prices compared across different car makers).
A violin plot can have multiple layers. For instance, the outer shape represents all possible results. The next layer inside might represent the values that occur 95% of the time. The next layer (if it exists) inside might represent the values that occur 50% of the time.
Violin plots are less popular than box plot. Violin plots may be harder to understand for readers not familiar with them. In this case, a more accessible alternative is to plot a series of stacked histograms or kernel density plots.
The original meaning of "violin plot" was a combination of a box plot and a two-sided kernel density plot. However, currently "violin plots" are sometimes understood just as two-sided kernel density plots, without a box plot or any other elements.

text: We used microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) to carbonize an electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor to form carbon fibers. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the fibers at different evolution stages. It was found that MPECVD-carbonized PAN fibers do not exhibit any significant change in the fiber diameter, whilst conventionally carbonized PAN fibers show a 33% reduction in the fiber diameter. An additional coating of carbon nanowalls (CNWs) was formed on the surface of the carbonized PAN fibers during the MPECVD process without the assistance of any metallic catalysts. The result presented here may have a potential to develop a novel, economical, and straightforward approach towards the mass production of carbon fibrous materials containing CNWs.

MECHANISMS OF SAMARIUM EXTRACTION WITH DIISOSTEARYLPHOSPHORIC ACID AND ITS PERMEATION THROUGH SUPPORTED LIQUID MEMBRANE
The extraction equilibrium of samarium (Sm) with diisostearylphosphoric acid (DISPA, HR) was measured at 303 K. The complex, SmR3, was formed, unlike in the case of dialkylphosphoric acids investigated previously. The extraction rate of Sm with DISPA was measured using a stirred transfer cell. The extraction rates were limited by the diffusion process. The permeation of samarium through a supported liquid membrane containing DISPA as a carrier was carried out based on the above results. Under the experimental conditions, the diffusion of samarium in the film of the aqueous feed or the diffusion of the complex in the membrane phase was anticipated to be the rate-determining step.
