What are some examples of selective media
Nutrient medium
Synonyms: culture medium, growth medium
1 definition
A Nutrient medium is a sterile matrix with defined environmental conditions. Culture media are mainly used in microbiology and are used to cultivate microorganisms or human or animal cells.
2 classification
2.1... according to consistency
A distinction is made between two types of culture media based on consistency:
The transition between solid and liquid nutrient media is fluid and depends, among other things, on the agar or gelatine content, which ensures the thickening of a nutrient medium. Culture media with a lower agar content are sometimes delimited as the third group of so-called "semi-solid" media.
2.2... according to nutrient content
Another dimension is the division of the nutrient media according to the nutrient composition. A distinction is made here:
 - Mineral medium
 - Minimal medium
 - Minimal medium with growth substances
 - simple complex medium
 - Complex medium
2.3... according to the objective
 - Selective nutrient media or selective media: nutrient media whose nutrient content or composition only allow the growth of certain microorganisms or cells.
 - Differential culture media or differential media: culture media that allow the growth of several microorganisms used, but are composed in such a way that distinguishable colonies form.
Some culture media can combine both of the above properties, e.g. MacConkey agar or mannitol salt agar.
3 application
Liquid Culture media are used:
Festivals Culture media are mainly used for analysis purposes because they also enable quantitative determination. Since the multiplying microorganisms cannot freely distribute themselves in the medium, a visible point or spot forms around each initial germ. The number of these CFU (colony-forming unit) allows a conclusion to be drawn about the original number of germs.
The process of introducing samples into or onto a nutrient medium is called inoculation.
4 composition
In addition to water, culture media mainly contain culture-specific nutrients and salts. The nutrients are also called substrates and in most cases are carbohydrates, proteins and fatty acids. Nutritional salts provide ions and molecules that are essential for the organism, such as ammonium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphate and sulfate.
Other possible components are:
5 Manufacturing
To produce a nutrient medium, the nutrients and additives are mixed together according to a recipe and dissolved in demineralized water (possibly under flowing steam). This is followed by sterilization (usually in an autoclave). Additives that would be destroyed by the sterilization can then be added through a sterile filter.
Ready-to-use culture media are also often used in practice.

Wisconsin's population could grow by 800,000 people over the next three decades. A report from the state and UW-Madison Applied Population Laboratory projects a 14 percent growth rate over the next 30 years, which would bring the state population up to 6.5 million residents by 2040.
The report is based on 2010 census data and other population projection models, according to David Egan-Robertson with the UW-Madison Applied Population Laboratory. He says it's meant to help officials get an idea of the possible age distribution, mortality rates, and migrations into the state in the coming years.
Egan-Robertson says they expect the most rapid growth over the next decade or so, as the economy improves. The addition of more jobs will spark new migration into Wisconsin, which usually increases birth rates as well.
Growth could drop off around 2026, as the leading edge of the baby boomers start hitting their mid-80s. Egan-Roberts says nearly one-in-four Wisconsinites are expected to be age 65 or older by 2040, which is almost double the level of where that demographic currently rests.
Information from the report is expected to help the state project and plan what infrastructure improvements and additional services may be needed as the make-up of the population changes.

A representation of intersection types in terms of pregrammars is presented. Pregrammar based rewriting relations, corresponding respectively to type checking and inhabitation are defined and the latter is used to implement a Wajsberg/Ben-Yelles style alternating semi-decision algorithm for inhabitation. The usefulness of the framework is illustrated by revisiting and partially extending standard inhabitation related results for intersection types, as well as establishing new ones. It is shown how the notion of bounded multiset dimension emerges naturally and the relation between the two settings is clarified. A meaningful rank independent superset of the set of rank 2 types is identified for which EXPSPACE-completeness for inhabitation as well as for counting is proved. Finally, a standard result on negatively non-duplicated simple types is extended to intersection types.

0-056 The beds of rose-of-sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) surrounding the Korean War Memorial were provided by the people of South Korea. This and the Asian red pine are their national tree symbols. The flower appears in Korean national emblems, and Korea is compared to the flower in the South Korean national anthem. Also known as the Korean rose, the plants were sent from Pusan, South Korea and planted around the memorial in 1996. These small trees, most commonly seen in our area as large shrubs, bloom in the summer and add rich light purple color to the foreground of the monument as seen from any viewpoint along the walkway. They were given to commemorate the US-Korean alliance and honor the lives of the American soldiers who defended it.

Determine and monitor the docking state and type
Android devices can be docked into several different kinds of docks. These include car or home docks and digital versus analog docks. The dock-state is typically closely linked to the charging state as many docks provide power to docked devices.
How the dock-state of the phone affects your update rate depends on your app. You may choose to increase the update frequency of a sports center app when it's in the desktop dock, or disable your updates completely if the device is car docked. Conversely, you may choose to maximize your updates while car docked if your background service is updating traffic conditions.
The dock state is also broadcast as a sticky Intent, allowing you to query if the device is docked or not, and if so, in which kind of dock.
Determine the current docking state
The dock-state details are included as an extra in a sticky broadcast of the ACTION_DOCK_EVENT action. Because it's sticky, you can simply call registerReceiver(), passing in null as the broadcast receiver. The following snippet shows how to complete this process:
val dockStatus: Intent? = IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_DOCK_EVENT).let { ifilter ->
 context.registerReceiver(null, ifilter)
IntentFilter ifilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_DOCK_EVENT);
Intent dockStatus = context.registerReceiver(null, ifilter);
You can extract the current docking status from the EXTRA_DOCK_STATE extra:
val dockState: Int = dockStatus?.getIntExtra(EXTRA_DOCK_STATE, -1)?: -1
val isDocked: Boolean = dockState!= Intent.EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_UNDOCKED
int dockState = dockStatus.getIntExtra(EXTRA_DOCK_STATE, -1);
boolean isDocked = dockState!= Intent.EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_UNDOCKED;
Determine the current dock type
If a device is docked, it can be docked in any one of four different type of dock:
 - Car
 - Desk
 - Low-End (Analog) Desk
 - High-End (Digital) Desk
Note that the latter two options were only introduced to Android in API level 11, so it's good practice to check for all three where you are only interested in the type of dock rather than it being digital or analog specifically:
val isCar: Boolean = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_CAR
val isDesk: Boolean = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_DESK
 || dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_LE_DESK
 || dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_HE_DESK
boolean isCar = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_CAR;
boolean isDesk = dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_DESK ||
 dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_LE_DESK ||
 dockState == EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_HE_DESK;


leanify_r6 moves the content of an R6::R6Class's functions to an environment, usually the package's namespace, to save space during serialization of R6 objects. leanify_package move all methods of all R6 Classes to an environment.
The function in the class (i.e. the object generator) is replaced by a stump function that does nothing except calling the original function that now resides somewhere else.
It is possible to call this function after the definition of an R6::R6 class inside a package, but it is preferred to use leanify_package() to just leanify all R6::R6 classes inside a package.
leanify_r6(cls, env = cls$parent_env)
leanify_package(pkg_env = parent.frame(), skip_if = function(x) FALSE)
Class generator to modify.
The target environment where the function should be stored. This should be either cls$parent_env (default) or one of its parent environments, otherwise the stump function will not find the moved (original code) function.
:: environment
The namespace from which to leanify all R6 classes. Does not have to be a package namespace, but this is the intended usecase.
:: function
Function with one argument: Is called for each individual R6::R6Class. If it returns TRUE, the class is skipped. Default function evaluating to FALSE always (i.e. skipping no classes).

I hate pandas
This report reminded me why I hate pandas.
I mean, why is an animal without the sense to eat anything more nutritionally valuable than bamboo shoots and won't even screw to save its species so uncritically loved by 99% of the world's humans? Pandas are ABSOLUTELY USELESS CREATURES.
Pandas are TOO FUSSY. Only a small number of bamboo species are acceptable dinner to them, and they change their minds all the time. No species with such food faddisms deserves to be exempted from Darwinism.
Pandas are STUPID. Just sitting around expecting the food to come to them? Pandas have a ridiculous sense of entitlement: if they were human, they'd be stars of CCTV and reality shows, and we'd be deriding them as lazy trailer trash. They're the chavs of the animal world.
Pandas DON'T REPRODUCE. You'd think that when breeding seasons are few and far between, they'd at least be able to make the effort for a night or two. But apparently romance is dead in panda country. Few pandas show any interest in sex, and it can't be just because they all look the same. Or are they just too selfish to bring fresh pandas into the world?
And lastly, saving useless pandas TAKES RESOURCES AWAY from creatures who'd be more grateful. Many termite species are in trouble, but – because termites don't look out at you from a fat furry face with big soulful black eyes, nobody cares about termites. And yet termites are AMAZING creatures. Just a few thousand neurons each, yet together they build architecture whose equivalent human scale would be buildings the size of Everest. Termites are incredible. And yet some species are in terminal decline. All because of those bastard pandas.
I hate pandas.
11 thoughts on "I hate pandas
 1. Because of people like you pandas are almost extinct. If everybody had that same additude then there would be no such thing as opptimism your just a self seeking pesmisit who doesnt care about animals. Pandas may not do anything but alot of animals dont do anything. Heres some advice get s job other than bagging on pandas they didnt do anything to you GET OVER YOUR SELF!
 - Not true. A LOT of animals do something. Wolves are constantly on the move, looking for prey and actually taking care of their young unlike some pandas here. Horses, cows, elephants. All those animals DO something! Pigs, ants, birds, fish. A panda is just DUMB. It's people like YOU that waste precious money on stupid pandas. That money could be going to other animals who would use it better! YOU get over yourself! Learn your panda facts! They're NOT WORTH IT. I'm an animal lover and have been all my life. I'm obsessed with animals, but even I know when an animal doesn't deserve to be on this planet.
 2. I totally agree.
 1. Pandas ditch their babies A LOT because they're too stupid and lazy. Hear that panda lovers? THEY'RE HORRIBLE PARENTS!!
 2. They are fat and lazy.
 3. All they do is eat all the time. They have ZERO personality. Why like an animal just for looks?
 4. They waste SOOO much money! Save the tiger! Or whale! C'mon, at least those animals are smart and resourceful! It's like giving money to a fat lazy slob who just burns your money but you give money to him anyway cuz he's cute! In so doing, you're killing the other kid who's super smart and could use ur money to create a small buisness. UGH.
 I WISH ALL PANDAS WERE EXTINCT ALREADY!!! Why are they — how are they — still alive?! They're so frickin DUMB!
 p.s. did you know they can't even count to 3? Dogs and squirrels and etc can. In a lab scientists did, the panda FAILED.
 3. Did you know that pandas are actually CARNIVORES? but they're so LAZY they can't stand to lift a fucking finger to hunt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats why they have to eat so fucking much! Ugh i HATE PANDAS!
 4. dO you own a life? discriminating against any animal on your blog is just wrong … what good will this seriously bring to you? grow a dick and suck it.
 5. I agree with most of the negatives regarding the wonderful,cute,adorable,precious Pandas! They are stubborn,bloated,useless creatures; also ill tempered,and to me they always appear dirty around their undercarriages! Ugh!!!
 6. If only we could get people to enjoy polar bears as much as panda's then maybe we could keep a worthwhile creature around.

|Spinose might refer to|
In plant morphology, Thorns, spines, and prickles, and in general spinose structures (sometimes called spinose teeth or spinose apical processes), are hard, rigid extensions or modifications of leaves, roots, stems or buds with sharp, stiff ends, and generally serve the same function: physically deterring animals from eating the plant material.|
* In common language the terms are used more or less interchangeably, but in botanical terms, thorns are derived from shoots (so that they may or may not be branched, they may or may not have leaves, and they may or may not arise from a bud), spines are derived from leaves (either the entire leaf or some part of the leaf that has vascular bundles inside, like the petiole or a stipule), and prickles are derived from epidermis tissue (so that they can be found anywhere on the plant and do not have vascular bundles inside).Leaf margins may also have teeth, and if those teeth are sharp, they are called spinose teeth on a spinose leaf margin (some authors consider them a kind of spine). On a leaf apex, if there is an apical process (generally an extension of the midvein), and if it is especially sharp, stiff, and spine-like, it may be referred to as spinose or as a pungent apical process (again, some authors call them a kind of spine). When the leaf epidermis is covered with very long, stiff trichomes (more correctly called bristles in this case; for some authors a kind of prickle), it may be referred to as a hispid vestiture; if the trichomes are stinging trichomes, it may be called a urent vestiture.There can be found also spines or spinose structures derived from roots.

text: Purpose: Correlation of body mass index (BMI) with clinical outcome in patients with glioblastoma is not well documented. Hence, we studied the association between survival and pretreatment BMI in glioblastoma patients. Methods and Materials: In this retrospective study, only patients with histopathology-confirmed glioblastoma were included. Their BMIs were calculated from height and weight measurements and recorded in medical records at their first examination. Treatment plans for all patients consisted of concurrent radiation therapy and temozolomide, followed by maintenance therapy with temozolomide. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the mortality risk associated with BMI as a continuous and categorical variable. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m 2 was classified as normal, 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m 2 as overweight, and ≥30.0 kg/m 2 as obese. Results: Data from 392 patients treated from January 2008 through June 2016 were analyzed. At a median follow-up of 48.6 months, the median OS was 13.5 months in normal subjects, 15.4 months in overweight subjects, and 15.1 months in obese subjects. A total of 81% of the patients died. The hazard ratios for overweight and obese patients were 0.70 (95% confidence interval, 0.54-0.92; P =.009) and 0.66 (95% confidence interval, 0.45-0.98; P =.04), respectively, when adjusted for age, Karnofsky performance score, and extent of resection. Sex, diabetes, and hypertension had no significant interactions. Conclusions: Patients with elevated BMIs had significantly better OS in our series of patients. The mechanism of this interaction needs to be explored further to understand this association. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Purpose: An alarming number of brain and neck tumors have been reported for operators of interventional radiology. Studies have revealed that interventional radiologists who are occupied with surgical procedures often fail to minimize exposures to the intense invisible X-rays. To improve the occupational radiation safety awareness, more effective training tool is needed to provide interactive and visually stimulating learning environment. The goal of this study is to develop a virtual reality (VR) software training tool to help operators learn to avoid high radiation areas, through game-like interactive simulation and visualization of the spatial distribution of the X-ray field.
Methods: 3D Studio Max and unity3D are used to design and transform models. The radiation field and organ doses to three operator phantoms are simulated using Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNP, and a positonand posture-specific organ dose database is generated. Microsoft HoloLens glasses are used to display three-dimensional objects in the IR suite including the operators, X-ray sources and protective equipment. The position and the FOV size of the X-ray source can be adjusted manually according to the actual situation.
Results: The radiation field in the IR suite has been calculated and imported into the virtual reality program. By wearing Microsoft HoloLens glasses, the X-ray flux distribution are shown in different colorsâ€"red represents high radiation area and blue represents low radiation area. Users can â€œseeâ€? the radiation intensity intuitively with different postures and positions.
Conclusion: A preliminary VR-based radiation safety training tool for operators in interventional radiology has been developed and tested using the MS HoloLens system and pre-calculated X-ray field in IR suite. This training tool can be used to assist operators to adjust their postures and positions to minimize exposure to high radiation situations.

|This guidance document provides basic information about used oil management practices for used oil collection programs. The rules can be found in Title 128 – Nebraska Hazardous Waste Regulations.
Used Oil Collection
- Definition of used oil: Any oil that has been refined from crude oil or any synthetic oil that has been used, and as a result of such use, is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities. (Title 128, Chapter 1, §140)
- New oil is never considered "used oil."
- Examples of substances that are considered used oil and meet the used oil exemption:
- Spent oil from gasoline and diesel engines
- Spent refrigerant lubricating oil
- Spent lubricating oil from aircraft reciprocating and jet engines
- Spent hydraulic fluid
- Spent heat transfer fluids
- Spent transmission fluid
- Cutting oils
Examples of materials that are not used oil:
Used oil that exhibits one or more characteristics of hazardous waste but is recycled in some manner other than being burned for energy recovery is exempt from hazardous waste regulation (Title 128, Chapters 4, and 7 through 23).
Used oil mixed with a listed hazardous waste is a hazardous waste. In fact, if used oil contains more than 1000 ppm of total halogens it is presumed to be a hazardous waste on the assumption that it has been mixed with a halogenated hazardous waste listed in Title 128, Chapter 3, §013 through 016. This presumption may be rebutted. If a used oil collector accepts "rebutted presumption" used oil, we recommend that documentation be kept.
A used oil generator or collector who gives (or sells) used oil directly to an off-specification used oil marketer is not a marketer of used oil. (See page 3 for a discussion of off-specification used oil.) Obtain documentation. Documentation from the off-specification used oil marketer must indicate what he does with the used oil; that is, he does not burn the used oil for energy recovery himself. This documentation is standard in the used oil industry.
A collector of used oil is subject to the used oil marketer provisions of Title 128, Chapter 7, §010.04 if he provides that used oil directly to a person who burns used oil for energy recovery.
The analysis requirement at Title 128, Chapter 7, §010.04B1 may be skipped if the collector/generator stipulates the oil does not meet specification.
Used oil marketers must notify NDEQ of that activity. This notification is done using State of Nebraska Form 8700-12, "RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form" commonly referred to as the "Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity 8700-12 Form."
Used oil marketers must use an invoice system. When the marketer initiates a shipment of off-specification used oil, the marketer must send the receiving facility an invoice that has an invoice number, the marketers NDEQ ID #, the names and addresses of both the sending and receiving facilities, the quantity of the off-specification used oil, the date of shipment, and a statement that says "This used oil is subject to NDEQ regulation under Title 128, Chapter 7". A copy of the invoice must be kept for three years.
The marketer must obtain certain written and signed notices from the used oil burner to document the used oil is burned in a proper device. See Title 128, Chapter 7, §010.04B5.
If the marketer claims the used oil meets specification, the marketer must keep copies of the analysis that proves such for three years, maintain a log with certain required information, and provide a cross reference between the log and the used oil analysis.
A person may market off-specification used oil only to burners or other marketers who have notified NDEQ (or other authorized state/EPA) of used oil activities and who have a NDEQ identification number.
- Spent antifreeze
- Brake fluid
- Solvents of any kind
- Unused motor oil
Burning Used Oil
- Used oil burned for energy recovery is subject to the requirements of Title 128, Chapter 7, §010. This section includes:
- A prohibition against burning used oil mixed with hazardous waste, except under limited circumstances.
- A prohibition against burning off-specification used oil in a used oil fired space heater, except under limited circumstances.
- Requirements for generators of used oil burned for energy recovery.
- Requirements for used oil marketers (see discussion below).
- Requirements for burners of used oil.
Off-specification used oil is used oil that exceeds any one or more of the levels for the following:
Arsenic - 5 ppm
Cadmium - 2 ppm
Chromium - 10 ppm
Lead - 100 ppm
Flash Point - 100° F (minimum)
Total Halogens - 4,000 ppm
Used oil that is a hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste may be burned for energy recovery if:
- It is not mixed with hazardous waste. This means the used oil may be a characteristic hazardous waste in its own right, but no additional hazardous waste may be added.
- The used oil contains hazardous waste generated SOLELY by a person subject to the requirements of a conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG) of hazardous waste. A CESQG generates 220 pounds or less of hazardous waste per month.
- This means public utilities may burn used oil in their utility boilers for energy recovery if it is their own used oil or it is collected from: a) "do-it-yourself" (DIY) used oil generators; b) farmers who are CESQGs as well as DIY oil generators; c) other businesses who are CESQGs; and d) other businesses who generate hazardous waste above the CESQG level only if it can be confirmed their used oil has not been mixed with hazardous waste. If businesses that generate hazardous waste as small quantity generators (SQG) or large quantity generators (LQG) place hazardous waste in their used oil, their used oil is no longer regulated as used oil.
Off-specification used oil may be burned in oil-fired space heaters if the heater burns only used oil that the owner or operator generates, or used oil from do-it-yourself oil changers who generate the used oil as household waste. For example, a state agency that does oil changes can bring their own off-specification used oil to another of their facilities that has a used oil-fired space heater. That same agency cannot take that used oil to be burned in another state agency's used oil-fired space heater. Any of the above can burn do-it-yourself used oil, but be prepared to prove the do-it-yourself oil is what it claims to be. See below for transportation related issues.
Nebraska does not have any quantity limitations on used oil collection or transportation. A hazardous waste manifest is not required for transporting used oil in Nebraska. Transporters must comply with any appropriate Department of Transportation regulations. See the 49 CFR series. Collectors must comply with applicable State Fire Marshall requirements for storage of flammable and combustible materials.
HANDLING USED OIL AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Storage and Collection
- Keep hazardous materials separate, properly labeled, and sealed in the recommended containers.
- Develop a system for monitoring incoming used oil. Locked collection ports can help prevent unwanted materials in your used oil.
- We recommend collection tanks have a clearly visible gage that shows the level of product in the tank and overfill protection. Continued overfilling of used oil collection tanks has occurred when there was no indication the tank was actually full.
- Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil shall be in good condition (no severe rusting, apparent structural defects or deterioration (T128, Ch7, §009.04A1); and not leaking (with no signs of visible leaks) (T128, Ch7, §009.04A2)
- Containers and aboveground tanks (and other receptacles of used oil) with a volume of 25 gallons or greater, shall be labeled or marked clearly with the words "Used Oil", T128, Ch7, §009.04A3
- The Department recommends that storage or collection areas be covered. The storage or collection location may need to be fenced and locked if vandalism could be a problem.
- Cap, label, cover, and properly store above-ground outdoor liquid containers and small tanks within a bermed area and on a paved impermeable surface, if possible. This practice helps to prevent spills from running into surface or ground water.
- If possible, store materials under a roof or tarpaulin to protect them from the elements and to prevent contaminated runoff.
- Sweep regularly.
- Inspect hazardous materials storage or collection areas at least weekly to ensure there are no leaks or spills.
- Inspect equipment such as pumps, pipes, storage tanks, valves, and material handling equipment for signs of corrosion, support or foundation failure, or other deterioration.
- Promptly clean up spilled materials to prevent runoff, tracking, and spoilage of other materials.
- Stock cleaning and spill response materials where they are readily available.
- Post reminders of good housekeeping practices.
- Provide instruction on securing containers.
- Schedule housekeeping duties and inspections to ensure good housekeeping is being accomplished.
- Maintain adequate aisle space between containers to facilitate material transfer, easy access to materials, and inspections.
- Close used oil containers between filling or emptying events.
- Store containers, drums, and bags away from direct traffic routes to prevent accidental damage or spills.
- Organize materials neatly for storage.
- Store incompatible materials separately.
- Stack containers according to manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage to containers from improper weight distribution.
- Store containers on pallets or in containment devices

This paper describes and compares several practical equalization schemes for space-time-coded transmissions over broadband wireless channels. For space-time trellis codes (STTCs), we describe and compare two reduced-complexity trellis-based joint equalization and decoding schemes whose performance is further optimized by a front-end finite-impulse response (FIR) channel-shortening prefilter. For space-time block codes, we describe and compare three joint equalization and decoding schemes based on a block-level implementation of the well-known Alamouti scheme either in the time or frequency domains. We consider the third-generation time division multiple access (TDMA) cellular system known as Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) and recommend a promising equalization scheme for space-time trellis-coded and for Alamouti-type space-time block-coded dual-antenna transmissions based on simulation results for typical urban channel conditions where the delay spread is few symbol periods.

Mayflies: Moqui minnow mayfly (Baetis moqui)
Profile prepared by Celeste Mazzacano, The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation
Baetis moqui is a small minnow mayfly endemic to Utah. This species inhabits fast-flowing rocky substrates in cold, clear, high-gradient streams. B. moqui was described as a new species from larvae collected in south-central Utah in 2004, and has been collected from North Creek and Pine Creek in Garfield County in the Escalante Canyon region. Its limited range and requirement for clear fast streams with low sediment loads may affect long-term stability of this species. Global climate change could also threaten this species' habitat in the long-term. Research should focus on understanding the biology of this species and establishing the distribution and population size.
Canada – Species at Risk Act: N/A
Canada – provincial status: N/A
USA – Endangered Species Act: N/A
USA – state status: Utah SNR Not ranked
NatureServe: G1G3 Imperiled
IUCN Red List: N/A
Baetis moqui currently receives no federal protection. The Utah Sensitive Species List does not include insects.
Baetis moqui is in the family Baetidae (small minnow mayflies). The larvae are 5.8 – 7.0 mm (0.23 –0.28 in.) in length, with three caudal filaments at the tip of the abdomen. The body is brown, with well-developed wingpads and light and dark patterning on the thorax and abdomen. The antennae are long, extending to at least the first abdominal segment, and are paler at the base and tip compared to the mid-section. B. moqui can be distinguished from other North American Baetis species based characteristics of the abdominal gills, as gill 1 is extremely reduced or lacking, and the structure of the labial palpi of the mouthparts. Adults of this species have not been described.
Baetis moqui Wiersema, Nelson and Kuehnl 2005. The taxonomic status of this species is considered valid. The species epithet is taken from an early name for the indigenous Hopi people.
This species is only known from larvae, which have been collected from cold clear streams draining high elevation (3000 m/9842 feet) peaks dominated by spring snowmelt and summer monsoon rains. Larvae can be found on leaf packs and submerged vegetation at the stream edges, but are more common on fast flowing rocky substrates with a coarse sandy matrix. Larval feeding was not observed, but members of this genus are considered to be collector-gatherers and scrapers, feeding on diatoms and organic detritus.
Larvae are known only from North Creek and Pine Creek in Garfield county, south-central Utah. Their current range is considered to encompass less than 40 square miles (100 sq. km). Larvae were collected from the type locality in North Creek above North Creek Reservoir. Additional larvae were collected from Pine Creek at the Box Death Hollow trailhead. Larvae were commonly collected from elevations of 2100 – 2500 m (6890 –8202 feet) in North and Pine Creeks, but were not found above 2500 m (8202 ft.). Additional sampling at several adjacent streams did not reveal B. moqui, and no larvae were collected at the confluence of Pine Creek or North Creek with the Escalante River.
Baetis moqui is a rare endemic species with narrow habitat requirements that is known from only two streams in south-central Utah. Due to its restricted habitat, limited populations, and unknown dispersal ability, B. moqui should be considered at risk. Baetis moqui larvae appear to have a specific requirement for cold fast flowing waters with extremely low sediment loads. North and Pine Creeks are somewhat unique in that they have lower sedimentation loads than are expected for the region; adjacent nearby streams with overall higher sedimentation loads and turbidity were not shown to support any populations of this species. Both localities are within a few miles of Escalante, which is a very small town but close to to Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands National Parks, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Heavy recreational use and road traffic in the watershed may threaten this species, particularly given its apparent intolerance for sediment and turbidity. Populations may have limited dispersal due to restricted areas of appropriate habitat, as larvae were not found in streams that were adjacent but higher in sediment load. Such small isolated populations are also vulnerable to stochastic events, and normal population fluctuations due to disease, predation, and food supply. True population sizes are unknown as this is a newly described species and needs more survey work.
Global climate change could also pose a long-term threat to B. moqui. Assessment of climate change trends in North America has already revealed changes in precipitation patterns, stream hydrology, and plant bloom time. Overall, annual mean air temperature increased in North America from _PHONE_, and total annual flow has decreased in many streams in the central Rocky Mountain region throughout the past century at an average rate of 0.2% per year (Rood et al. 2005). The effects of global climate change are projected to include warming in the western mountains, causing snowpack and ice to melt earlier in the season (Field et al. 2007). This could lead to increased flooding early in the spring and drier summer conditions, particularly in arid western areas where snowmelt sustains stream flows. Spring and summer snow cover has already been documented as decreasing in the western United States, and drought has become more frequent and intense (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007). Floods and droughts are projected to increase in frequency and intensity; erosion is also projected to increase due to decreased soil stability from higher temperatures and reduced soil moisture, and increases in winds and high intensity storms. As a species that requires cold clear streams, the survival of B. moqui could be threatened by habitat impairment due to global warming, including increased frequency and severity of seasonal flooding and droughts, reduced snowpack to sustain stream flow, increased erosion and siltation, and increasing air and water temperatures.
Necessary actions include monitoring known populations and searching for new ones, and protecting habitat in regions where the species is known to occur.
Little is known about the biology or distribution of this species. Additional surveys should be conducted to establish the range and distribution of this species and assess its dispersal capacity. Research into life history and habitat management in the area would be valuable.

Are Foster Carer's paid:
When a child is placed with a foster carer they will receive a weekly fostering allowance which is intended to cover the costs of looking after a child in foster care, such as clothing, food and pocket money. The amount varies depending on the age of the child.
Foster carers also receive a fee in recognition of their time, skills and experience.
Can single people foster?
Yes. Anyone can apply to foster regardless of whether they are single, married or living with a partner. Also, regardless of whether you have your own children or not, whether you live in your own home or rent, whatever your race, religion or sexuality.
Is there a maximum or minimum age to becoming a foster carer?
Foster Carers must be over 21 years old. There is an expectation that foster carers will have sufficient life experience to enable them to meet the needs of children placed with them, and age can be a factor in this.
There is also no official upper age limit on foster care and many older people make excellent carers, providing they are able to look after a child or young person. They bring a wealth of skills and experience to the task and many young people find it easier to relate to an older person.
How long does it take to become a foster carer?
The time it takes to become a registered foster carer can vary, it takes an average of between 6-12 months.
Can I work as well as being a foster carer?
Yes, if there are 2 registered carers 1 can work or the responsibility can be shared between both if there is enough flexibility. If you are a single carer this is more difficult but it is always worth discussing your situation with someone from the fostering team, who will consider your individual circumstances.


The multi-cover persistence of Euclidean balls Given a locally finite X ⊆ ℝd and a radius r ≥ 0, the k-fold cover of X and r consists of all points in ℝd that have k or more points of X within distance r. We consider two filtrations - one in scale obtained by fixing k and increasing r, and the other in depth obtained by fixing r and decreasing k - and we compute the persistence diagrams of both. While standard methods suffice for the filtration in scale, we need novel geometric and topological concepts for the filtration in depth. In particular, we introduce a rhomboid tiling in ℝd+1 whose horizontal integer slices are the order-k Delaunay mosaics of X, and construct a zigzag module from Delaunay mosaics that is isomorphic to the persistence module of the multi-covers. 99 Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik application/pdf

The Dangerous Instagram Trend That's Harming Your Pets
In a worrying trend across social media, pet owners everywhere are dressing up their animals in anti-COVID face masks, a seemingly cute and innocent photo opportunity that could have potentially fatal consequences.
can my dog wear a mask?
Reasons for taking snaps of masked moggies or pooches vary in intention, with some influencers aiming to send out an adorable but persuasive post aimed at anti-maskers, while others are merely on a quest for likes or genuinely fearful their pet might contract the virus.
But whatever people's reasoning, the reaction from veterinarians and animal experts have all been the same and many are now warning pet owners of the severe stress and anxiety face coverings can cause pets.
Why Putting Masks On Pets Is Dangerous
Despite there being rare and isolated cases of dogs and cats contracting coronavirus, there is currently almost no evidence suggesting they can pass the disease on to humans and so masking up a pup is still certainly not a necessary action.
However, in this age of mistrust, many pet owners are ignoring the lack of evidence and still covering up their pets to be on the safe side.
The vast majority though are merely donning their dalmatians in masks for likes and attention on their social media accounts, with many even using it as a photo opportunity to appeal to face covering and COVID sceptics.
poodles in face masks for pandemic
But even if it looks really cute, it certainly isn't clever and according to Melbourne Veterinarian Dr Melissa Meehan, forcing a dog in particular to wear a face mask could kill them in a worst-case scenario.
Speaking to Yahoo News, Dr Meehan said: "As a vet, I am constantly treating dogs and cats that suffer from stress and anxiety, which impacts on their health and mental wellbeing and also causes behavioural issues,
"Putting a mask on a dog or cat can absolutely cause distress."
Forcing an animal to wear such a covering over their face is, therefore, going to be very agitating for them and could cause them health issues if worn for long periods of time.
She also made it clear that masks can impair an animal's breathing, "which can increase their stress levels and could even be fatal."
shihtzu in mask
This is especially true of certain breeds of dogs such as brachycephalic types who already typically suffer from breathing difficulties.
Adding a mask into the equation is only going to make the basic requirement to breathe even more of a struggle, putting their life at risk.
Unfortunately, this is not exactly a new trend either.
In the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan and various areas of China, plenty of people were photographed or filmed placing face masks on their beloved pets.
In their defence, the virus was still a very unknown quantity then and they were probably rightfully worried about the safety of their animals.
do pets need a mask for covid
However, even though there is still much to be discovered, evidence that animals can spread the disease remains non-existent.
This means the current bombarding of mammals in masks on Instagram is cruel and harmful to pets and doesn't actually do them or you any good.
So while we humans definitely should be campaigning to each other to all wear masks, are moggies and pooches shouldn't have any part in the advertising.
We'd much rather see you in a mask than Rover!
Why Pets Don't Need To Wear Face Masks
All over the globe, guidelines from various governments and scientists have promoted the wearing of masks to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, with some declaring it mandatory in closed public spaces.
For example, in the UK this week, face coverings were made compulsory in shops, supermarkets and on public transport, a rule many people have instantly adhered to.
why pets dont need masks for coronavirus
In a woeful case of timing though, a pet cat also became the first case of its kind to test positive for coronavirus in the UK, sending many people into panic mode.
So even if people are merely uploading masked photos of pets for fun or because it's 'cute', you may well be convincing other nervous and worried pet owners that popping a face covering on your pet is the done thing!
why cats shouldnt wear masks covid
But although several cats and dogs have now tested positive for coronavirus around the world, it remains a rare occurrence.
It's also important to note that each animal to contract the virus so far has displayed very low traces of it in their system and have also been unable to spread it to another human.
The World Organisation for Animal Health has stated that currently, there is no evidence to suggest that animals infected by humans are playing a role in the spread of COVID-19,
Human outbreaks are driven by person-to-person contact and to date, there is no evidence that companion animals have spread the disease.
This means that the handful of pets who have been unlucky enough to catch the disease have done so from their owners, and not the other way round!
So if you're truly worried about your pet catching coronavirus, it's YOU who needs to wear a mask rather than them, as well as limit contact with them if you suspect you have symptoms.
Why would you ever want to hide away that adorable face anyway!?

Searching for how to repair a bow in Minecraft?
Well, you end up in the right place!
Minecraft is a trendy and addictive game with lots of adventures and happenings. When you start playing Minecraft, you may think that the weapons and armors are of no use, but you will realize their importance as you go ahead.
The Bow is one of the crucial weapons that can break a lot of time, and people usually think, why does this happen and how to fix this? We will give the answers to all of your questions in this article.
Why the Bow Breaks?
Many people find it frustrating and start wondering why the Bow breaks in the middle of the game? The reason is that each item in the Minecraft game has a specific HitPoint, and when you keep using that weapon, it keeps on going down and losing its health. This is the reason why the bow breaks. You need to craft a new one or repair it to make it work.
If you've been playing the game for a while, you must be aware that Minecraft has two types of bows. The first one is a Normal Bow with regular abilities, and the other is called Enchanted Bow, which comes with more extraordinary powers and capabilities. You can break both of these bows with excessive use, so you need to know how to repair these.
Now, we will explain how to repair a bow in Minecraft.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Anvil
To use this trick, you will need an Anvil in your Inventory. If you don't have an anvil, you can also craft your Anvil by following some simple steps given below:
How to Craft an Anvil:
- You will need at least 4 Iron Ingots and 3 Iron Squares from your Stock Box to create your Anvil.
- By using these items, you can craft a decent anvil that will help you in many other things as well.
After Arranging an Anvil:
To repair your Bow using an anvil, follow these simple steps
- From your Minecraft inventory, open the Anvil.
- Put the Bow in the first slot and the Bow repairing material in the second slot.
- Wait for a while now, and get your fixed Bow from the Anvil.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Crafting Table
If you don't want to use an anvil for your bow repair, you can use this method to help you repair your Minecraft bow.
You can get the job done by using a crafting table better and more efficiently. But, first of all, you should know how to create a crafting table.
How to Create a Crafting Table:
- Press E to open your Inventory Screen.
- You must have at least four woodblocks for this purpose.
- In the crafting section, place the woodblocks 2×2. You will see the crafting table on the right side; save it.
After Creating the Crafting Table:
If you want to follow the above method, here are some simple and easy steps:
- Open your Crafting Table.
- On the table, place two bows side by side.
- Wait for these bows to make a third bow.
- That's it! Now you have your Bow.
Some Restrictions of Using the Crafting Table Method to Repair Bow
The crafting table will require two objects of the same type. Here you are giving two bows to get a strengthened bow that has full stats or health.
The crafting table method does not work for Enchanted bows. If you place two enchanted bows on that table, it will still make an ordinary resultant bow and not an enchanted one.
It is important to note that the crafting table is not primarily used for repairing items. However, there is another method that you can use to repair your Bow. We just used a trick here, so make sure you use this method as a last resort.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Grindstone
Grindstone is also an essential element in Minecraft. Like an anvil and crafting table, a grindstone can also be used to repair a bow.
First of all, you should know how to craft a grindstone.
How to Craft a Grindstone:
To craft a grindstone in Minecraft, the ingredients you will need are two oak plants, two sticks, and a stone slab. You can continue with the following steps to craft a grindstone once you have all the material.
- Open a 3×3 grid crafting table.
- Put the materials on a table.
- You can see the grindstone on the right side of the table.
- Now that you have the grindstone take and drag that into your Inventory.
After Crafting the Grindstone:
Once you have crafted the grindstone, you can use the following steps to repair your Bow:
- Through the Inventory, open your grindstone.
- Put one Bow in the top slot and another bow in the bottom slot.
- You'll see the Bow on the right.
Minecraft is a very addictive and never-ending adventurous game, but it can be confusing and tricky. We have written this article to answer your questions and help you explore more of this game. We hope this article was helpful for you in finding out how to repair a bow in Minecraft. The best method is using the Anvil, which also helps with enchanted bows. The other two ways are relatively less effective as they do not repair magical bows but can be used as a last option.
Control the truth, Control the people The power of the in the anvil of power under the rug. The principal in the dark

What is the meaning of Sea port code?
Every Sea port has a unique sea port code in its country and provide trade services. Through sea ports there can be two types of trade services that are processed, first is the export of goods and other is export services, If any of the above is conducted and some bill number is generated which is of 13 numbers, first 6 digits are sea port codes and remaining 7 digits are of bill number of that transaction.
What is the importance and functions of sea ports?
The main functions of seaports are:
1: To ensure safety for seagoing vessels coming in.
2: Operation in entering and leaving the seaport.
3: To manage facilities and equipment necessary for seagoing vessels to anchor.
4: Proper management of loading and unloading of cargo.
5: helpful in embark and disembark of passengers.
What are the benefits of Sea ports?
Sea Ports are also one of the factor to rise the economy and benefits to the economy of country as they are responsible for economic activity in coastal areas. The increase in throughput of goods and passengers on yearly basis induces more provisions, jobs and advanced infrastructure required to cope with trade industry and helpful in bringing profits to economy and helpful in trade relations with other countries and are boon to economy and trade.
UN LOCODE or Sea Port Codes are the United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations are the codes created by UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe). These codes are assigned for trade and transport to the seaports, airports and Railways. UNLOCODE consists of 5 characters and first 2 characters are for country code. Seaports are the major facility for trade through ships which load and discharge of passengers and cargo.

What is it?
Airborne captures a snapshot of current youth circus activity and provision and makes recommendations to support the development and co-ordination of Youth Circus in the UK and its relationship to the YPPT project aims and objectives.
It provides a focused study of current activity within Youth Circus itself, and through consultation with practitioners, aims to identify its particular development needs.
Who commissioned it?
Airborne was commissioned by Arts Council England to inform the development of the YPPT project and to inform the youth circus sector on required action.
The research was undertaken within the context of the Circus healthcheck and following the publication of Paving the way, a comprehensive mapping of young people's participatory theatre, which identified a significant contribution from youth circus to the national youth theatre picture.
Who wrote it?
It was produced by independent arts consultant Leila Jancovich, 2007, who conducted research through:
- development of a database of 264 existing youth circus providers
- market research through questionnaires completed by 83 groups
- consultation via three regional meetings attracting approximately 30 people


Latency Analysis
The Latency visualization lets you analyze latent customer behavior within a set number of days before or after an event occurred after a campaign or other type of event or period of time.
The Latency visualization allows you to set a metric to identify behavior before, during, or after an event occurred to determine its effect on customer behavior. For example, you can identify the effectiveness of a marketing campaign by viewing the revenue a week after an event occurred. Or you can show customer behavior a week previous to the event as a baseline to see an event's effect on behavior.
Using the Latency visualization, you can change the Time dimension from day, hour, week, or other time period, to visit, click through, hit, or other countable dimension.
Setting up Latency Analysis
 1. Open a workspace and right-click Visualization > Latency.
 2. From the menu, select the number of days to analyze for latency events.
 3. Right-click on the Latency label to open menu.
 - Using the Set Countable option, set a countable dimension such as visit, clickthrough, hit, and others.
 - Using the Set Countable (Time) option, set a time dimension such as day, hour, week, day of week, and hour of day.
 4. Modify the Latency visualization.
 Right-click on the Latency header to select menu options to change countables, dimensions, to re-label, or to select or change other settings.

The National Eisteddfod is held annually for one week in August, alternately in the north and the south, but local eisteddfods are held throughout Wales during the year. A historical institution (12th cent.), it is important in maintaining national feeling and preserving the Welsh language and culture and is enthusiastically supported by the Welsh. Its outstanding ceremony is the "chairing" of the winning bard. The bardic assembly (gorsedd) has been a part of the National Eisteddfod since 1819. The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, begun in 1947 at Llangollen, Denbighshire, is held annually in July, and features choral, instrumental, and folk music and dance performed by some 4,000 artists.

Colombian handicraft (Spanish: artesanía colombiana) history can be traced back to the stone age to the lithic instruments in El Abra stadial. Some of the first pottery samples known in Colombia were found in the Neolithic 3 — Pottery Neolithic (PN) Zipacón settlements. The earliest examples of goldwork have been attributed to the Tumaco people of the Pacific coast and date to around 325 BCE. Gold would play a pivotal role in luring the Spanish to the area now called Colombia during the 16th century (See: El Dorado).
Colombian arts and crafts can be categorised into two major divisions:
Ruana garments and pottery ornaments in Ráquira
patina products, puzzle toys, macramé (knot crafts), fique products, leather products, modern silver jewellery gift ware, decorative items, dolls & puppets, bead Crafts, bone & horn pharoducts, natural buttons etc. are some of the modern forms of Colombian handicrafts.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in MakeCode for Minecraft
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was a popular 1960s Beatles tune. Before you ask, yes, I am old enough to have been there. The screenshot below is from a little MakeCode chat command using a print block with text "Lucy" and diamonds to do the printing.
lucy code 2There are a few things we can learn from this code about blocks, positions and directions.
Which blocks (e.g., diamonds, grass) can be used to write in the sky?. Change diamonds to sunflowers. What happens? Lava? Water?
The position position means 50 blocks east, 5 blocks high and 0 blocks south relative to the player; that is, from where the player is standing.
The phrase along gives the direction to print. I think of the player as facing east, so printing along South means printing left to right. What happens if the along phrase is changed to each of the following:
 - along north?
 - along west?
 - along east?
Keeping Score in the Sky
field scoreIn Grandma's Chickens, I used a similar function to keep score of how many chickens the player zapped.
The "run" chat command is for testing the function printScore
The first say block signals that the program is actually running. The last say block indicates when it is complete. Why are these needed? Sometimes when "run" is typed into the command line, the program does not start. This may be because start button, the start button, was not pressed. Other times are more mysterious, but I have found that when repeated attempts to start a program fail, restarting Minecraft and MakeCode solves the problem once again proving the old adage "When in doubt, reboot."
In the chat command "run," the original player world position is saved in the variable "center." This allows the player to move while the program is running. This is desirable because the view of the what's happening in Minecraft is often better if the player is allowed to move to a different vantage point rather than being required to stay in one place because all positions are relative to the player and change as the player moves.
The repeat loop in "run" calls the printScore function 5 times to test randomly selected values for score..
printScore Func
The function printScore performs as its name indicates. It first converts the number variable score to text, which is required by the print block. The say block outputs the score to the log window.
In the print block, by joining txtScore with trailing spaces, the digits of any longer number that had been previously printed to the same location are erased.
Pay particular attention to the manner in which position is specified by the at phrase. The position is not specified as relative to the current player world positon but, rather, as relative to the original player world position, which was saved in the variable "center." Notice that printScore coord is a world position, not relative. The print position is center X plus 40, center Y plus 5, center Z minus 5. The value of these coordinates were determined by trying various numbers to find a visually appealing positon.

Gas Faucets Frequently Asked Questions
Jul. 12, 2021
Gas taps are the backbone of most laboratories and play a central role in daily operations. But even though they are so common in these environments, it is not common knowledge how they work, what they are specifically used for, and what gases they are suitable for.
Therefore, the laboratory valve supplier will answer all your gas tap questions in one helpful post.
What is a gas tap?
A laboratory gas tap or laboratory gas valve is a device that controls the flow of gas from its source of supply through a pipe.
They are essential devices in a range of chemical and physical exercises, from the basic level all the way up to commercial, industrial or research laboratories. They are usually located on a laboratory bench where they can be easily accessed by students, scientists or laboratory technicians.
Laboratory Gas Valve
How do gas taps work?
Gas faucets work very similar to faucets in that the valve blocks the free flow of gas until the faucet is turned and the valve is opened. Different faucets have different types of valves. An example of this is the push-turn valve or needle valve used in a drop lever faucet.
Gas Faucet Applications
Gas valves are used to control the flow of various gases in laboratory applications. The most common are natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Gas taps suitable for most pressurized gases in this environment are available.
Water Valve
Water Valve
Why are gas faucets yellow?
Gas tap controls are often bright yellow in school laboratory environments where they need to be easily visible and error free for safety reasons. The yellow pull-down lever, used for a series of gas faucets, allows teachers to quickly scan the room and determine if the faucet is turned on.
However, in commercial and scientific laboratories, the handwheels on laboratory gas taps can be color coded according to the standards set out in DIN EN 13792 for easy reference
What are gas taps used for?
Gas taps are used in a variety of laboratory environments, including school laboratories, scientific research laboratories, and commercial and industrial laboratories.

Two cooling water units were being constructed at the BP Whiting Refinery facility. BP Whiting Refinery would like some assurance that, with the current design, surface vortex would not form in the cooling pump suction bay. Surface vortex could reduce pump water delivery and reduce pump reliability. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to model the suction bay.
Computational domain of the suction bay
Three-dimensional CFD models of the cooling tower suction bays were developed to simulate the critical flow conditions at the suction bays. The suction bays were modeled for designed operating condition where all pumps were operating and off-designed operating condition when one of the pump was shut off.
Flow streamlines for the case where one pump is shut off
The simulation results for the ideal operating case where all pump were operating indicated there were very fex vortices formed around the corner of each suction bay. Increased number of vortices was present, especially in the area near concrete pillars, when one of the pumps was shut off. Based on these results, it was recommended to the oil refinery owner to reduce the size of the concrete pillars in order to reduce the possibility of vortex formation.

While brightwheel is built to best serve early childhood education centers, there are nannies across the country utilizing the platform to provide insight to parents about their child's day. There are a couple of ways that brightwheel can be setup to work for a nanny or home care situation.
Nanny Owned
The most common setup for nannies is where the nanny or homecare provider is the account owner and manages the platform independently. In this situation, the nanny can add students and parent contacts, just like a teacher would in any other facility.
This enables the nanny to log activities, manage invoices and billing, and communicate with parents.
Parent Owned
For parents who prefer to be in control of the brightwheel platform, this setup may be more preferable. In this situation, the parents would start and manage the brightwheel account and then add their nanny as a staff member. This method still allows the nanny to use all of the features listed above, but the actual account management will be handled by the parents.
The parents should also be added as parent contacts in this situation so that they can get notifications and updates through the brightwheel app.

Encyclopedia of Sport: Every sport from around the world
Cowboy Action Shooting
Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) is a shooting sport which involves shooting at targets with a variety of guns that were typical of the late 19th century. The sport originated in the United States and is currently practiced in a few other countries as well.
In competitions, matches consist of several stages, with each stage presenting a different scenario that are typical of the old west. Shooters have to carry four guns for a mach (two revolvers, one shotgun, and one rifle). Each stage requires up to 10 revolver rounds, up to 10 rifle rounds, or up to eight shotgun rounds. Some stages will restrict the use of only one or two types of guns. Targets used are usually steel plates that get knocked down when hit.
cowboy shooting cowboy shooting
Most matches are time based, where each shooter completes the stages individually against a clock. In each stage, targets have to be shot in a specific order. For each missed target 5 seconds, and for targets shot out-of-order 10 seconds, are added to the shooters final time as a penalty. After all deductions, the competitor with the fastest time for all stages combined is declared as the winner.
The most popular competitions for CAS is the National and World Championships where over 700 competitors take part.

Hydrogen-fuelled dredgers to maintain Netherlands' coastline

Caption: Royal IHC's hydrogen-fuelled THSD is being developed to help the Dutch government reach its C02 neutral by 2030 target. Credit: Royal IHC
Hydrogen is the choice of fuel for a new trailing hopper suction dredger (THSD) design being developed through a partnership between Royal IHC and the Dutch government.
The fuel type was chosen based on its emissions reduction potential, the availability of the fuel and the readiness of the components, including fuel cells and fuel storage, Royal IHC's Leonard den Boer told CEDA Industry News. Following analysis, hydrogen was found to fit "best with the timeline of being operational in 2024," said den Boer who is the project leader.
The Dutch Rijkswaterstaat (Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management) has set itself a target to be CO2 neutral by 2030. To achieve this, it sought cost-effective solutions for its coastal protection projects to significantly reduce CO2 from 2024.
Known as the 'LEAF' (low energy adaptive fuel) hopper, the design received an approval in principle (AiP) from classification society Bureau Veritas at the end of March.
The project's next step is "to form a consortium with dredger operator(s) and to define the conditions together with Rijkswaterstaat," said den Boer.
Project research began in 2019, and before hydrogen was agreed as the fuel of choice, other options such as methanol and ammonia were considered as possible zero emission fuels for the dredger, he said. The exact capacity of the LEAF hopper is still under discussion.
In a statement, Royal IHC said: "The AiP from Bureau Veritas means that the proposed design of the vessel, encompassing its features and specifications, has been deemed acceptable in this early stage and that the hydrogen system has been safely integrated".
According to the company, minimal CO2, SOx, NOx and particulate matter is released during the construction of the LEAF hopper, and when operating, like other hydrogen-fuelled vessels, it will release only water vapour.
"In addition, many design features on the LEAF hopper contribute to low energy consumption, including an electric drive train and energy recovery systems," it said.

From the Roman name Mauritius
, a derivative of MAURUS
Maurice was a 3rd-century Roman soldier from Egypt. He and the other Christians in his legion were supposedly massacred on the orders of emperor Maximian for refusing to worship Roman gods. Thus, he is the patron saint of infantry soldiers.
This name was borne by a 6th-century Byzantine emperor. Another notable bearer was Maurice of Nassau (called Maurits in Dutch), a 17th-century prince of Orange who helped establish the Dutch Republic. The name has been used in England since the Norman conquest

Draft PH customs rule guides handling of stores aboard foreign air, sea craft
The Philippine Department of Finance (DOF) and Bureau of Customs (BOC) have released the draft administrative order that will implement the provisions of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) on how to use different types of stores aboard international vessels and aircraft.
"Air stores" refer to items supplied for consumption or use on board an aircraft, such as supplies for crew and passengers, while "stores in vessel" are articles, especially foodstuff, that are for use or consumption only by the passengers and crew on board the vessel upon its voyage. "Ships' stores," meanwhile, consist of spare equipment such as chains, anchor, and the likes that are necessary to safely navigate the ship.
Position papers on the draft CAO are accepted until April 20, the same day as the holding of a public hearing.
The draft CAO, which is subject to public scrutiny, will cover stores—whether sold or not—for use or consumption by passengers and crew on board vessels or aircraft engaged in foreign trade.
It also covers stores carried by vessels or aircraft that will dock or land at one or more ports or airports in customs territory, to be used or consumed on board during the stay of these transport craft at these intermediate ports or airports and during their voyage or flight between such ports or airports.
Its scope includes stores for sale to the passengers and the crew of vessels or aircraft with a view to being landed, which are either on board upon arrival or are taken on board during the stay in the customs territory of vessels or aircraft.
Lastly, it covers supplies needed by the vessels or aircraft on their voyage or flight out of the Philippines, including those goods transferred from a customs facility warehouse to the aircraft.
The draft CAO states that BOC requires the submission of a Stores List of inflight commissary items, including duty-free bonded items, that are arriving at the customs territory. Upon departure, no separate declaration concerning stores is required from the vessels or aircraft.
Inflight duty-free items and catering supplies and equipment delivered to the aircraft from a bonded warehouse are to be covered by the Stores List.
BOC will devise a uniform Stores List that must be accomplished and signed by the shipping lines and airlines, and submitted to the customs officer once the vessel or aircraft arrives or leaves.
The draft notes that importations of stores arriving at the Customs territory will be exempt from duties and taxes, subject to certain circumstances.
For international aircraft that intends to land at one or more airports in each port of entry, BOC will establish procedures for the transport and delivery of stores needed during the stay of the aircraft at such intermediate airports and during its flight between such airports.
Stores will not be have to go through physical examination by BOC except if there is derogatory information or alert order issued against them by the commissioner or authorized customs officer. BOC will be applying risk management principles when conducting a physical examination of stores.
