Do you want to learn how to clean your rabbits' feet?
Rabbits are known for their impeccable grooming habits. However, there are certain areas, such as their feet, that they may struggle to keep clean on their own. This can lead to several health problems, including sore hocks and infections.
In this article, we'll let you know how to effectively clean your rabbit's feet and the importance of doing so regularly.
Why Clean a Rabbit's Feet?
Cleaning a rabbit's feet is essential to their overall health and well-being.
Their feet can become soiled with urine, feces, or other types of dirt, which can lead to bacterial infections if left uncleaned.
Moreover, excessive moisture or dirt can cause sore hocks, a painful condition where the fur on the bottom of a rabbit's feet wears away, leading to raw, exposed skin.
By regularly cleaning your rabbit's feet, you can help prevent these issues and keep your bunny healthy.
Before you start cleaning your rabbit's feet, ensure you have the following tools:
- A soft cloth or baby wipes (fragrance-free)
- Warm water
- Towel for drying
- Antiseptic cream or powder (consult your vet for suitable options)
- A comfortable, non-slip surface to work on
How To Clean Rabbits Feet?
Here are the step-by-step guides to follow:
Step 1: Prepare the Cleaning Area
Start by laying out a comfortable, non-slip surface where you can work on cleaning your rabbit's feet.
This could be a table with a towel or mat on top.
Having a non-slip surface would prevent the rabbit from slipping and injuring itself during the cleaning process.
Step 2: Secure the Rabbit
Hold your rabbit gently but firmly to avoid any sudden movements. Make sure to support its hindquarters and keep it calm by stroking it gently.
Step 3: Inspect the Feet
Before cleaning, inspect your rabbit's feet for any signs of injury, sores, or abnormalities. If you notice anything unusual, consult your vet before proceeding with the cleaning.
Step 4: Clean the Feet with a Damp Cloth
Dip a soft cloth or use a baby wipe to gently clean the rabbit's feet. Be sure to clean between the toes and around the nails, where dirt can accumulate.
Avoid using any harsh chemicals or soap as these can irritate the skin.
Step 5: Dry the Feet
After cleaning, you should thoroughly dry your rabbit's feet.
Any lingering moisture can provide a breeding ground for bacteria and lead to infections or sore hocks. Use a soft towel to pat the feet dry gently.
Step 6: Apply Antiseptic Cream or Powder
Once the feet are dry, you can apply a small amount of antiseptic cream or powder.
This can help to prevent any potential infections. Always consult with your vet about suitable products for your rabbit.
Prevention is always better than cure. Here are some ways to prevent your rabbit's feet from getting dirty:
1. Regular Grooming
Regular grooming can help keep your rabbit clean and minimize the risk of soiled feet.
This includes brushing its fur to remove loose hair and checking its feet regularly for dirt or injuries.
2. Avoid Wet or Dirty Ground
Rabbits should not be kept on wet or dirty surfaces as these can lead to soiled feet and related health problems.
Make sure your rabbit's living area is dry and clean at all times.
3. Provide a Clean Living Environment
A clean living environment is crucial for your rabbit's overall health.
This includes regularly cleaning their hutch or cage, replacing bedding frequently, and ensuring they have access to clean food and water.
Cleaning Other Areas
Cleaning your rabbit's feet is important, But maintaining their overall cleanliness is much more important.
This includes brushing their fur regularly to remove loose hair, checking their ears for any signs of mites or infection, and monitoring their eyes for any discharge or redness.
Additionally, rabbits' teeth continuously grow throughout their lives, so you should provide them with plenty of hay and chew toys to prevent their teeth from overgrowing.
Occasionally, dental check-ups might be necessary to ensure their teeth are in good shape.
Here are some frequently asked questions.
Why Are My Bunnies Feet So Dirty?
A rabbit's feet can get dirty due to various reasons such as unclean cages, muddy outdoor play, or health issues like diarrhea.
If the cage isn't cleaned regularly, feces and urine can build up, leading to dirty feet. Also, if your rabbit spends time outdoors, it can track in dirt or mud.
Can I Use Baby Wipes On Rabbits Feet?
Yes, you can use baby wipes to clean your rabbit's feet, but make sure they are unscented and alcohol-free.
Don't force your rabbit if they are uncomfortable, and ensure they are completely dry afterward to avoid chilling.
Do Rabbits Clean Their Own Feet?
Rabbits are generally clean animals and will groom themselves, including their feet. However, sometimes they may need assistance, especially if they've stepped on something, particularly dirty or sticky.
How To Clean Rabbits Feet With Vinegar?
For more thorough cleaning, you can use a diluted solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio).
Dip a soft cloth into the solution, then gently wipe your rabbit's feet.
Be careful not to let the solution get into any open wounds or scratches. Also, make sure to dry your rabbit's feet thoroughly afterward.
How To Clean Rabbits Feet At Home?
Aside from using baby wipes or a vinegar solution, you can also use warm water and a soft cloth to clean your rabbit's feet.
Always be gentle, and make sure to thoroughly dry your rabbit's feet after cleaning them.
How To Clean Rabbits Feet For Show?
For show rabbits, you should keep their feet and fur clean and well-groomed.
There's not much difference from what we have outlined above for non-show rabbits.
Cleaning your rabbit's feet is a simple but important part of their care routine.
It not only helps to prevent health issues but also provides an opportunity for you to check for any potential problems.
With the right tools and a gentle touch, you can ensure your rabbit stays healthy and clean.
We hope this article helped you know how to clean rabbits' feet. If you have any further questions, comment below and we will answer them.

Putting your health and wellbeing plan together
#1 Think about your vision for your health and wellbeing
Excerpt Eating for You
"A vision is a broad statement describing what you wish to achieve. Sharon shared her familiar story. She expressed that she often felt tired, was skipping her morning walk and had gained 5kg during the past 12 months. Sharon realised that she had been giving to others and neglecting her own needs. She said that her eating pattern had become erratic. Sharon's vision for her health included having sufficient energy to maintain a healthy body and mind and to enjoy her relationships with others. Think about your own situation, what are you aiming to achieve by introducing change into your life?
Your vision and goals concerning your eating habits need to sit within your vision for your total life. Whilst I believe that eating is central to health and wellbeing, other lifestyle factors need to support you too, such as adequate sleep. It is like the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. Each lifestyle component contributes to the total picture. You won't enjoy the complete picture of health and wellbeing if you leave vital pieces out."
#2 Refer to the components of the health and wellbeing plan listed above
The essential components of your health and wellbeing plan are covered in the book, Eating for You. Some are introduced in recent blog posts (see links in text).
#3 Refer to the goals you have identified for this year
Last week we reflected on goals for 2016.
#4 Identify how much time you can free up in your day
Keep a log of how you use your time now. The simplest way is to record your commitments and activities in your diary. If you can, keep this for a week. Then, review your diary and see what commitments and activities that you can reduce or eliminate, to make time for your new activities.
# 5 Choose and commit to up to three goals
Excerpt from Eating for You
"Let's revisit your vision before you commence writing your goals. Ask yourself, "Do the priorities I have identified support my vision?" Some of the priorities you have written down will be written as goals and some will be actions. So what is the difference? Goals are written in a way that defines and measures the type and amount of change you are seeking. We will use Sharon's vision as an example 'To have sufficient energy to maintain a healthy body and mind and to enjoy relationships with others'.
One of Sharon's goals was to:
Goal: Increase my sleep to 8 hours per night.
Action: Stop watching TV and using the computer by 7.30pm.
Action: Have an aromatherapy bath before bed.
Action: Be in bed and prepared for sleep by 9pm."
#6 Put your new activities into your diary
Choose your new activities (or actions) and put them into your diary. As you can see from Sharon's example above, she created time for a bath by decreasing her TV viewing time and computer usage. These changes also supported an improved sleep routine.
Create a timeline to introduce your new activities. For example you might decide to decrease your TV viewing immediately, start walking three times per week in the second week of your plan, and in the third week you might start cooking one new recipe per week. This will help you to develop clarity around what your ideal day looks like.
Excerpt from Eating for You
"Your daily routine may be predictable or quite varied; especially if you travel frequently or work different shifts for example. Moving forward you need to establish a rhythm that allows for these variances. An ideal work day, putting in your health and wellbeing commitments first, might include:
6.00–6.30am meditation and yoga
6.30–7.15am shower, get dressed and eat breakfast
7.15-7.45am walk to the bus stop
8.30am Start work with a break mid morning
Midday Lunch with a break mid afternoon (do gentle exercise/ stretches)
4.45pm Review and update work task list
5.00pm Finish work
6.15–7.00pm Prepare and eat dinner
8.30pm aromatherapy bath
9.00-9.30pm In bed for sleep"
Eating for You guides you step by step along the path to creating your health and wellbeing plan. It helps you to uncover what you need—through knowing yourself, knowing your food and knowing how to introduce and live with change.

A unique 800-yr-long record of annual temperatures and precipitation over the south of western Siberia has been reconstructed from the bottomsediments of Teletskoye Lake, Altai Mountains using an X-ray fluorescence scanner (XRF) providing 0.1-mm resolution timeseries of elementalcomposition and X-ray density (XRD). Br content appears to be broadly correlative with mean annual temperature variations because of changesin catchment vegetation productivity. Sr/Rb ratio reflects the proportion of the unweathered terrestrial fraction. XRD appears to reflect water yieldregime and sediment flux. Sedimentation is rather continuous because annual clastic supply and deposited mass are the same. The artificial neuralnetworks method was applied to convert annual sedimentary time-series of XRD, Br content, and Sr/Rb ratio to annual records of temperature andprecipitation using a transfer function. Comparison of these reconstructed Siberian records with the annual record of air temperature for theNorthern Hemisphere shows similar trends in climatic variability over the past 800 yr. Estimated harmonic oscillations of temperature andprecipitation values for both historical and reconstructed periods reveal subdecadal cyclicity.

B. %A Moreau, C. %K gender %K prevention %K sexual health %K Sexual risks %X BACKGROUND: Sexual health in the military comprises a range of concerns including sexually transmitted infections (STI), unintended pregnancy, sexual violence and sexual dysfunction. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of sexual health concerns by gender in the French military and compare these prevalences to estimates in the general population. METHODS: COSEMIL, the first sexual health survey in the French military comprises a probability sample of 1500 military personnel. Chi-square tests were used to compare lifetime abortion, STIs and sexual assault, and recent sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction by gender and explore the association between these indicators and current sexual risk (condom use at last intercourse). RESULTS: Women were more likely than men to declare negative sexual health outcomes, with the greatest difference related to sexual assault (24.3% versus 5.1% of males, p < 0.001) and sexual dysfunction hindering sexuality (15.2% of females versus 5.3% of males, p < 0.001). Women were also twice as likely to report ever having an STI (6.7% versus 3.4%, p = 0.03). Comparison with the French general population indicates lower percentages of STIs among military men (2.9% versus 4.9%) and higher percentages of abortion (17.6% versus 14.3%) forced sex (10.6% versus 7.4%) and sexual dysfunction (14.2% versus 9.3%) among military women. CONCLUSION: These results highlight gendered pattern of sexual health in the French military with women suffering greater sexual risks than men. Military health services should include women's health services to address the sexual and reproductive health gender gap. %B BMC Public Health %V 18 %P 750 %8 Jun 18 %@ _PHONE_ %M 29914422 %2 PMC6007003

Clipboard Help+Spell 2.16 review
Clipboard Help+Spell
You may recall developer Mouser from other hits such as Find and Run Robot, Snapshot Captor, and Web Link Captor. And indeed, Clipboard Help+Spell carries his distinctive style: comprehensive Options dialog, multiple interface layouts, and other niceties that add up to the feeling that if you just dig deep enough, you can get Clipboard Help+Spell to do just about anything.
Much like competitor ArsClip, Clipboard Help+Spell features a powerful pop-up menu that lets you use most of the application's features without having to switch away from the program in use. The menu shows a list of recently copied text snippets, any of which take just a single keystroke to paste in at the cursor. You can also set aside a bunch of favorite clips so that you always have them handy, paste the current date and time in multiple formats, format selected text in various ways (such as title and sentence case), and many other features.
One of the nicest Clipboard Help+Spell features is called the Stack. At any point during your work, you can pop open the menu and set a "start stack" marker. Clipboard Help+Spell then records the series of items you copy, and lets you paste them back in the same sequence, one by one. This is very useful when transferring information manually from a text document into a spreadsheet, for example. You can just focus on finding and copying the information, and paste it into the spreadsheet later. That's much faster than having to constantly switch back and forth between the document and the spreadsheet.
Clipboard Help+Spell: built-in spell checker
Clipboard Help+Spell does have a built-in spell-checker, but you can't use it through the pop-up menu: You need to switch to the program's main window and select a clip to work on. You can then read through the clip and hunt for words with a red squiggly underline (just like in Microsoft Word), or execute a spell-check on the snippet, which pops open a spelling dialog on every error. So, spellchecking is available, but it isn't the star of the show.
In truth, most Clipboard Help+Spell users probably won't scratch the surface of this complex and powerful beast. But even if you only use 10% of what it has to offer, you'll still end up with a more powerful and flexible, clipboard. Try it out. See all: PC Advisor software downloads
Clipboard Help+Spell
Clipboard Help+Spell 2.16: Specs
 - Microsoft Windows 2000/7/8 Desktop/Vista/XP
Clipboard Help+Spell is simple and effective, and can save you time even if you use just a small subset of its features.

Introduction to IP Conflict Prevention of VigorSwitch
Nowadays, it is common that a company network consists of not only servers and PC, but also IoT devices, printer, IP cameras, and a lot more. Stability would always be the top priority, and IP conflict is one of the causes of unstable connections. In the past, the network administrator may need to take a long time to find conflict sources from the big network.
VigorSwitch supports IP Conflict Prevention (ICP) since firmware version 2.4.0. It helps the administrator to find out the conflicting port and IP and take action quickly. This article introduces ICP and demonstrates how to use it on VigorSwitch.
an illustration of network topology
ICP on Multiple Switches
ICP takes the advantages when there are multiple switches on the network, even if not all the switches support ICP. The edge switch can be other brands that you already have, and ICP would still work partially.
For example:
PC4 conflicts PC1: PC4 can't go through core switch, but PC4 still can access other hosts within edge switch.
PC2 conflict PC1: PC2 will be locked. It's because PC1 is configured to have the higher priority of using the IP.
an illustration of network topology
Conflict Warning
When IP conflict happens, ICP shows the conflict status on the GUI like below, so that the network administrator could be aware of where the problems are.
a screenshot of VigorSwitch
How to Set up ICP?
Quick Start Wizard will be convenient and easy way to set up.
a screenshot of VigorSwitch
1. In the Quick Start Wizard, first select a port to which DHCP server is connecting.
a screenshot of VigorSwitch
2. VigorSwitch will conduct a preliminary detection of the environment and show the port type. If the port is incorrect, click on the port to change the port type to the correct one
 1. DHCP server: Tell the Switch which port the DHCP Offer will come from so it can block illegal DHCP Offers.
 2. DHCP Client: The Switch automatically learn the DHCP offer/ack to each port, and dynamically add/remove the IP into the table, thus to protect LAN clients who receive IP from DHCP server.
 3. Static Binding: For connecting to a device with a static IP. The switch memorizes the "static IP/port" combination and protects LAN clients on the list.
 4. Multiple Hosts: For connecting to an AP or a switch, all the IP behind the port will all be protected. If there's conflict in this port, conflict status will show the port conflict itself.
 5. LAG:Accept multiple ports using same IP address without looping and conflicting
 6. Multiple Host with DHCP Server:Accept several IP addresses to a single port; these IP addresses include DHCP Clients or Static Binding Clients, and a host register to be a legal DHCP Server and gain protection.
an illustration of network topology
3. The switch will detect your network, and showing the hosts table. Remember to put the correct information on it.
a screenshot of VigorSwitch
4. Enable ICP, then ICP will be affected immediately.
a screenshot of VigorSwitch
1. If I have multiple switches in my network, what is the sequence to enable ICP on different switch layer?
We recommend to set the port type first (1-3 step on Wizard), then enable ICP on each layer.
2. We can set up the Mail Alert to let VigorSwitch send the message to notify the network administrator which port conflicts
3. When IP Conflict Prevention is processing, IP conflict detection can not be enabled.

Two UW–Madison researchers build ties with Indonesia
It took a trip halfway around the world to bring two University of Wisconsin—Madison scientists together.
Paleoanthropologist John Hawks and climate scientist Dan Vimont had never crossed paths on the Madison campus due to their very divergent areas of study. But they landed on common ground at the Kavli Indonesian-American Frontiers of Science Symposium, held July 11-15 in Solo, Indonesia.
Co-organized by the Indonesian and U.S. National Academies of Sciences, the symposium brought together a mix of young American and Indonesian scientists from a range of fields — nanotechnology to earthquakes — to discuss globally relevant research and to foster collaborations between the two countries. The UW–Madison researchers were two of just nine U.S. scientists invited to speak.
The Frontiers of Science symposia have promoted connections between young scientists since 1989, with increasing importance placed on international relationships with scientists in Europe and Asia. The Indonesian-American symposium began in 2011 in response to the Obama administration's call for stronger ties with scientists in predominantly Muslim countries.
"The goal is to get people talking — to help Indonesian scholars develop their scientific infrastructure and to get more Americans involved who might have an interest in working there," says Hawks.
Vimont, a professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences and a climate researcher in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, discussed international food security in the face of changing climate, a critical concern in a country whose rice imports in a bad growing year can equal roughly a fifth of the total global rice market. Hawks, a UW–Madison anthropology professor, spoke about human evolution and genetic variation.
Both met potential future collaborators and came away with a stronger appreciation of the research needs and opportunities in Indonesia. In addition to the scientific sessions, the participants attended cultural events and local tours, and Hawks was able to spend a day at a nearby dig with an Indonesian paleontologist.
"I see science as a unifying theme for bringing people together," Vimont says. "These symposia are a piece of a broader effort to use science as a way to encourage development."

domain constraints, and any relationships not
obvious from the data.
The mediator also allows a domain expert to provide additional domain knowledge in a declarative manner—this domain knowledge serves as the "glue" that the mediator uses to logically compute how two seemingly unconnected information sources are related. The "glue knowledge" is represented as a graph called the domain map. When a mediator answers a query against an integrated view, it places the results in the context of the domain map—thus the partial results searched out from different data sources are all represented in the domain map and connected through a commonly accepted domain knowledge framework. This architecture has been successfully applied to different application areas, including neuroscience.

New Horizons is PIRSA's soil modification and improvement program. Through projects and collaborations, PIRSA is investigating and trialling new advances in soil science and management and delivering that information direct to farmers across South Australia.
About 40% of the area currently under broadacre agriculture in South Australia – about 4.1 million hectares - has soil issues which limit agricultural production.
Estimates reveal a potential to add an additional $800 million in agricultural production per annum in South Australia by improving soils with production constraints.
Key funding partners and collaborators with the New Horizons Soil Improvement Program are the Grains Research Development Corporation (GRDC), the CRC for High Performance Soils, and other delivery partners across southern Australia.
PIRSA's soil research and extension work is largely undertaken by its Rural Solutions SA and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) divisions.
PIRSA's New Horizons Soil Improvement Program encompasses the following key areas:
- Sandy soils
- Acid soils
- Subsoil constraints
- Soil carbon
- Soil protection
- Precision agriculture
- Other soil services
The continued research trials and new partnerships, in this area of soil improvement, will help to broaden the research findings and build stronger collaboration and connection with industry.


Auxiliary constructions that yield spaces that are not CW complexes must be used on occasion. One basic result is that the representable functors on the homotopy category have a simple characterisation (the Brown representability theorem).
 - CW complexes are locally contractible.
 - CW complexes satisfy the Whitehead theorem: a map between CW complexes is a homotopy-equivalence if and only if it induces an isomorphism on all homotopy groups.
 - The product of two CW complexes can be made into a CW complex. Specifically, if X and Y are CW complexes, then one can form a CW complex X×Y in which each cell is a product of a cell in X and a cell in Y, endowed with the weak topology. The underlying set of X×Y is then the Cartesian product of X and Y, as expected. In addition, the weak topology on this set often agrees with the more familiar product topology on X×Y, for example if either X or Y is finite. However, the weak topology can be finer than the product topology if neither X nor Y is locally compact. In this unfavorable case, the product X×Y in the product topology is not a CW complex. On the other hand, the product of X and Y in the category of compactly generated spaces agrees with the weak topology and therefore defines a CW complex.
 - Let X and Y be CW complexes. Then the function spaces Hom(X,Y) (with the compact-open topology) are not CW complexes in general. If X is finite then Hom(X,Y) is homotopy equivalent to a CW complex by a theorem of John Milnor (1959).[6] Note that X and Y are compactly generated Hausdorff spaces, so Hom(X,Y) is often taken with the compactly generated variant of the compact-open topology; the above statements remain true.[7]
 - A covering space of a CW complex is also a CW complex.
 - CW complexes are paracompact. Finite CW complexes are compact. A compact subspace of a CW complex is always contained in a finite subcomplex.[8][9]

/ How To Do Needy Things Without Appearing Needy
Here are 6 ways to take needy actions without seeming needy to women.
Those of you who subscribe to my newsletter will have received an article about neediness and how it is pretty much the biggest turn off to women. However, sometimes, we simply need to (or want to) take some action that is needy. For instance, confirming a date. Confirming a date is, technically, a needy task; however, it is also a necessity given how flaky women generally are. Here are 6 common needy actions we like to take and how you can do take them in a non-needy way.
1. Confirming a date
Confirming a date is a necessity. Unfortunately, it is also needy behavior. How do you get around appearing needy when confirming a date. The best way to confirm a date without being needy is to make a small change in the actual date and use that as the excuse to make contact. For example, if you planned a date at 8pm at XYZ, text her the day off with a message like this: "Hey there, I'm running a bit behind today, let's do 8:15 instead of 8pm." You don't have to ask if the date is still on to confirm a date, you simply need to ping her with a reminder which will then prompt her to either confirm or flake. Don't ever call someone to confirm a date because if she doesn't pick up you will be left in a nebulous situation of wondering if she will check her messages, being super needy by calling again or doing what you should have done in the first place, which is just sending a text.
2. Ask a girl out
Asking a girl out is sometimes a source of extremely needy behavior but it shouldn't be. The proper way to ask a girl out is first to attract her (see my article on asking a girl out) and then worrying about how to actually go about it. The general rule is, once you establish some interest in meeting up, to propose a time and a place. Don't ask when she is free or what she wants to do (though sometimes this does make sense (see point 3 below), simply suggest a time and place and see how she responds.
3. A date at your place
Asking a girl out is one thing, but getting a girl to come over is another. I generally try to arrange a second date at my apartment. However, sometimes this might come off as "too forward" which can be misconstrued by women as "needy". (Yes, sometimes being overly aggressive can be mistaken for neediness). When I am trying to get her to meet at my place, the way I do it without neediness is to either propose two options (one at my place one somewhere else nearby) or to first ask her "if she has anything in mind" for the second date. Her response will almost always be "I'm up for whatever" which then makes it much easier to propose meeting at your place and makes it much harder for her to say no.
4. Buying Gifts
Gift buying, while nice, can often come off as very needy if not done at the right time. Read my article about gift buying to learn how to do this without appearing too needy. The general rule (and it is a good one to follow) is sex before any gift giving.
5. Refusal to escalate physically
If things in the sex and intimacy department are moving too slowly for you, there are needy and non-needy ways to address it. "Begging" or begging like behavior to get sex is very unattractive and will probably lower your odds of getting further. The best way to increase intimacy is arranging dates at your place and if she doesn't want to, play it cool, agree to a date elsewhere, but then cancel. She will get the message. If the problem occurs once you are in the bedroom, don't beg, either stop hooking up cold turkey making it seem like it was your idea to not go further or appeal to her comfort level (ask her why she isn't comfortable with you or what she is afraid of, not why she doesn't want to hook up).
6. Texting, IMing, and calling
A lot of men ruin it with women because they start texting, IM'ing, and calling the girl they had one date with more than they do their own mother or best friend. This is a very easy way to scare a woman off. The obvious solution to this problem is to simply not engage in random back and forth texts and instead only text, IM, or call to set up the next date. If she is the one who initiates, don't fall into the trap of engaging too often. Keep conversations short and try to turn them into arranging meetings.
There are many behaviors that are canonically needy and there is no good way to be "non-needy" about them. However, the 6 actions above can appear needy or non-needy, depending on how you execute. Always execute in the non-needy manner.

Accents and job prospects in Ireland: Check out the RTE website on how accents may affect job prospects in Irish society. The piece comes in the context of a new bill aiming to ensure that employers do not discriminate against job applicants or employees because of their accent.
In the piece it reads that "In Ireland, it would appear that we are somewhat behind the UK when it comes to accepting that this is an issue. There, received pronunciation refers to the form of dialect adopted typically by those viewed as being from a middle-and upper-class, or southern region upbringing."


Education Equity Fund
Why does Philadelphia need an Education Equity Fund?
PILOTs aren't taxes–they're voluntary payments. There's no requirement for where the funds are directed. This means that it's up to us to make sure that when our city's wealthiest institutions pay their fair share, that money directly meets the needs of our students, not the priorities of outside institutions.
In other cities, mega-nonprofits have tried to "dictate what their money goes toward." Here in Philly, we know what it looks like when mega-nonprofits call the shots. In our May 5th Speak Out, we heard from Philadelphians who have been directly impacted by our School District's funding crisis. Nonprofit-driven initiatives never make up for a lack of basic necessities–teachers, textbooks, nurses, counselors, libraries, and safe and healthy school buildings.
As we fight for a more equitably funded public education system in Philadelphia, the last thing we need is a closed-door deal that gives the wealthiest institutions total control over funding for our schools.
Philadelphia needs a PILOT agreement that meets the most essential needs of our most vulnerable public school students. This means that we need Mayor Kenney to establish an Education Equity Fund for our city's mega-nonprofits to pay into via PILOTs. A publicly administered fund that directly serves the School District will be the best way to establish accountability and transparency for a stable, sustainable PILOT agreement.


text: The aim of this systematic review was to summarise adverse effects after spinal manipulation reported in the South Korean literature. The Korean literature was searched for relevant articles. Twelve articles met the inclusion criteria. They reported a total of 18 cases. In most instances, the patient made a full recovery. The implicated treatment was frequently a spinal manipulation technique that is an integral part of traditional Korean medicine. It is concluded that adverse effects after spinal manipulation are not specific to chiropractic but occur with most types of spinal manipulation. Incidence figures can, however, not be derived from the data available to date.

Let's create two tables. The capitals table contains state capitals which are also cities. Naturally, the capitals table should inherit from cities.
CREATE TABLE cities ( name text, population float, altitude int -- (in ft) ); CREATE TABLE capitals ( state char(2) ) INHERITS (cities);
In this case, a row of capitals inherits all attributes (name, population, and altitude) from its parent, cities. The type of the attribute name is text, a native PostgreSQL type for variable length ASCII strings. The type of the attribute population is float, a native PostgreSQL type for double precision floating-point numbers. State capitals have an extra attribute, state, that shows their state. In PostgreSQL, a table can inherit from zero or more other tables, and a query can reference either all rows of a table or all rows of a table plus all of its descendants.
Note: The inheritance hierarchy is actually a directed acyclic graph.
For example, the following query finds the names of all cities, including state capitals, that are located at an altitude over 500ft:
SELECT name, altitude FROM cities WHERE altitude > 500;
name | altitude -----------+---------- Las Vegas | 2174 Mariposa | 1953 Madison | 845
On the other hand, the following query finds all the cities that are not state capitals and are situated at an altitude over 500ft:
SELECT name, altitude FROM ONLY cities WHERE altitude > 500; name | altitude -----------+---------- Las Vegas | 2174 Mariposa | 1953
Here the "ONLY" before cities indicates that the query should be run over only cities and not tables below cities in the inheritance hierarchy. Many of the commands that we have already discussed -- SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE -- support this "ONLY" notation.
In some cases you may wish to know which table a particular tuple originated from. There is a system column called TABLEOID in each table which can tell you the originating table:
SELECT c.tableoid, c.name, c.altitude FROM cities c WHERE c.altitude > 500;
tableoid | name | altitude ----------+-----------+---------- 139793 | Las Vegas | 2174 139793 | Mariposa | 1953 139798 | Madison | 845
(If you try to reproduce this example, you will probably get different numeric OIDs.) By doing a join with pg_class you can see the actual table names:
SELECT p.relname, c.name, c.altitude FROM cities c, pg_class p WHERE c.altitude > 500 and c.tableoid = p.oid;
relname | name | altitude ----------+-----------+---------- cities | Las Vegas | 2174 cities | Mariposa | 1953 capitals | Madison | 845
Deprecated: In previous versions of PostgreSQL, the default was not to get access to child tables. This was found to be error prone and is also in violation of the SQL standard. Under the old syntax, to get the sub-tables you append * to the table name. For exampleSELECT * from cities*;
You can still explicitly specify scanning child tables by appending *, as well as explicitly specify not scanning child tables by writing "ONLY". But beginning in version 7.1, the default behavior for an undecorated table name is to scan its child tables too, whereas before the default was not to do so. To get the old default behavior, set the configuration option SQL_Inheritance to off, e.g.,SET SQL_Inheritance TO OFF;
or add a line in your postgresql.conf file.
A limitation of the inheritance feature is that indexes (including unique constraints) and foreign key constraints only apply to single tables, not to their inheritance children. Thus, in the above example, specifying that another table's column REFERENCES cities(name) would allow the other table to contain city names but not capital names. This deficiency will probably be fixed in some future release.

In order to render mine water a whole lot less toxic, the key could be letting a fungus bloom. Some fungi produce a superoxide when they grow, which is instrumental in cleaning up polluting metals. This superoxide reacts with locally available Magnesium(II), and is oxidized to Mn(III) or Mn(IV), which in turn suck up the likes of arsenic, cadmium, and cobalt.
This reaction isn't news, but what is is how and when it takes place. Up until now, mines would often try and cause this reaction to happen more by dumping foods for the fungus, like straw, and hoping that would stimulate the reaction. A new study in PNAS has shown what really causes the reaction to occur, and it's all about breeding.
Stilbella aciculosa only produces the superoxide during cell differentiation, when it forms asexual reproductive structures. In other words, when it's making spores. It uses the superoxide as a cellular signal to moderate differentiation, its love affair with Mn(II) is potentially just a (good for us) side effect.
So if it's during blooming that the superoxide is created, how do we get the fungus to do that more often? Unfortunately, that's a very good question that we don't really know the answer to. But now we're a step closer along the way.

The In-Situ CHEmical MINIaturized analyzer (CHEMINI) is an instrument developed by IFREMER that measures dissolved chemical parameters in seawater including iron, nutrient salts and sulphur. CHEMINI is one of the sensors on Tempo-Mini, installed at Endeavour Ridge, and used to measure iron (Fe) properties near hydrothermal vents.
The study of chemical parameters at hydrothermal vents is important. As hot effluent encounters the cold seawater (~2 degrees C), minerals precipitate from the element-rich vent water. Black smoker vents are found in areas where the effluent is very hot (~350 C). These types of vents precipitate iron sulphides, giving rising plumes a dark colour and cause the formation of sulphide-mineral deposits on the seafloor.

Let's face it, during the construction phase, it can be a messy business, so it's important that the pipeline interior be kept clean throughout the process. This UC2 construction pig was developed for just this purpose. It is primarily used for light cleaning during the construction phase and can be used in all capacities of pipeline cleaning.
At times it's necessary to clean a line more rigorously, which requires additional cups. With this in mind, the UC in available in three versions. The two-cup design of the UC2 pig, provides a basic level of cleaning capability. With each additional cup, the UC pig cleans more rigorously. Therefore, the UC3 three-cup and the UC4 four-cup design pigs are progressively more effective cleaning tools. They are used to lightly clean pipelines, and are typically used for longer distances.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Every Series UC pig is equipped with Series C Cups. As with all the pigs we sell, the Series C cup was specifically developed to perform, efficiently and reliably. To enhance durability, it's made from Reliathane, a special blend of wear-resistant polyurethane.
- The large wearing surface of the cup promotes longer life, while product pressure holds the cutting edge firmly against the wall
- Designed to negotiate 1.5D bends, the Series UC2 pig moves reliably through piping systems.
- Carver discs
- Aluminum gauging plates
- Three (UC3) and 4 cup (UC4) configurations
- Magnets can be used to either collect ferrous and other construction debris, or they can be used to provide a change in magnetic field required by non-intrusive pig signaler detection devices.

Why Does Wine Go Bad and How Long Opened Wine Lasts
One of the most common questions that I get from students in my Introduction to Wine classes is about bad wine. People want to know, why does wine go bad, how do you know if a wine has gone bad, and can you do anything to prevent it?
Why Does Wine Go Bad?
There are lots of reasons a wine can go bad. Poor bottling, microbial contamination and storage problems are just the beginning. Each of these issues has specific signs to look for, which makes it easier to tell a wine that's gone bad from a wine that's just not to your taste.
Signs of Bad Wine
- Smells like barnyard, sweaty horse, Band-Aids or manure: Brettanomyces, aka "Brett", in sommelier shorthand, is a bacteria that, in small doses, is not necessarily unpleasant. Left unchecked, wine becomes undrinkable.
- Tastes like sauerkraut: Lactic acid bacteria gone wild gives this nose-wrinkling smell.
- Has a strong vinegar quality: This is the smell of volatile acidity and acetic acid, which usually develops in wine after exposure to oxygen. But rogue yeasts can create this flaw in the winery.
- Has a damp basement, moldy cardboard, or wet dog odor: A sign of TCA contamination, aka "cork taint". TCA stands for 2,4,6-Trichloroanisole, which is a harmless, potent-smelling compound that most often occurs when chlorine-based cleaners come into contact with wood. Even in minute amounts (as in parts per trillion), it can affect the way a wine smells and tastes. If present in a barrel or winery equipment, entire lots of wine can be affected– meaning the cork is not always the culprit.
- Smells of rotten eggs, onions, cabbage: Wines that got too little oxygen during the winemaking process can develop volatile sulfur compounds, including ones called mercaptans. There's no mistaking this flaw, even if you've never smelled a rotten egg. These wines are said to be "reduced," meaning it was fermented without enough oxygen. Fortunately, this flaw often disappears shortly after the wine is opened. If it doesn't, you can add something copper to your glass (such as a pre-1982 penny), which reacts with sulfur compounds and can magically eliminate the stinky smell.
- Tastes like chemicals: A flawed fermentation can give off a strong paint thinner or acetone scent. Sadly, nothing can help make a wine with this flaw taste better.
- Looks dull and brownish; smells bitter, nutty or like balsamic vinegar: If you detect any of these symptoms, you're encountering oxidized wine, probably from a faulty closure. Oxygen seeped in and ruined it. Oxidation happens eventually to all opened wine.
- The appearance of fizz or bubbles in a still wine: Whoops, your wine has started to re-ferment. Someone bottled a wine without sterilization, and the yeasts began munching on leftover sugar.
- You notice the cork pushing up past the bottle rim, or a wine leak is visible on the cork: In still wines, this is a sign of heat damage. The smells and flavors of heat damage are often subtle, making a wine look and taste duller than it should. Just one day sitting in a hot delivery truck can damage a wine, even if it doesn't leave visible evidence.
A common reason that wine goes bad is that, after it was opened, no one drank it fast enough. (This is not usually a problem around my house, trust.) That's because the moment you pull the cork on a bottle, powerful chemical changes start to occur in the wine. Oxygen rushes in and sulfur dioxide, which is added to nearly all wines as a preservative, dissolves into the air.
In time-limited doses, exposure to oxygen can make a wine taste more harmonious and expressive, turning up the volume on its flavors and smoothing them out. But the clock is ticking: in as little as two days, oxidation can spoil a wine and, soon enough, this process will turn it to vinegar. First, the fruity aromas disappear, then its flavors turn dull and flat, with a sharp or bitter edge, and the color changes. White wines darken and turn brownish; reds get lighter and browner. Soon, a wine that used to smell like apples or cherries may smell like vinegar or cider.
Now that you know how oxidation affects your bottles, you're probably wondering how to extend the life of opened bottles.
How Long Opened Wine Lasts
How to store opened wine without it going bad depends on the type of wine and how you store it. The graphic below breaks it down. Generally, the lighter the wine, the faster it goes bad. Tannins in wine help preserve them as does alcohol—which is why robust reds and fortified wines last longest. Richly sweet dessert wines will also stay fresh longer than dry varietals.
My go-to method of slowing down the spoilage of opened wine—both red and white—is to decant it into as small a container as possible and stick it in the fridge. I keep a few empty half-bottles (375ml) and their corks handy for this, but any old jar will do (just make sure it doesn't still smell like kimchee or barbecue sauce or whatever you last had in your fridge). Presto! This step roughly doubles the shelf life of wine.
"Even reds?" you're asking. Yes, even reds. The bacteria that turn wine into vinegar (acetic acid, to wine chemistry geeks) feed on oxygen. By exposing the wine to less oxygen, you're starving the bacteria and slowing down spoilage. They also multiply like crazy at room temperature, so chilling the wine keeps their party to a dull roar.
Of course, there are lots of gadgets out there claiming to preserve wine, ranging from plastic vacuum pumps to spray cans of nonreactive gas. In my experience, with one giant exception, none of these make a huge difference. I recommend that, if you do pump or gas your wine, you also store it in the fridge.
The shining exception to these devices is the Coravin, which is easily the most effective—and expensive—tool ever invented to solve the problem of leftover wine. With Coravin, you don't actually open the wine at all—you extract it through the cork via a fine needle, which also pumps argon gas into the bottle as a preservative. You can dole out glasses of wine over a period of months from a bottle, with no notable difference in freshness. I've enjoyed white wines that were first poured via Coravin more than a year prior, then stored at room temperature, and they still tasted juicy and vibrant. At parties, I sometimes let guests have sips from several "Coravinned" bottles, then pick the wine they like best.
Remember: It can be tricky to decipher whether a bottle has gone bad from something that just isn't your taste. At the end of the day, if the smell and taste aren't to your liking, listen to your senses. This could be due to a poor pairing or perhaps the type of wine and where it's from just isn't pleasing your palate. At the end of the day, you should always drink wines you enjoy.

This example shows how to use the Graph Cut option in the Image Segmenter app to segment an image. Graph cut is a semiautomatic segmentation technique that you can use to segment an image into foreground and background elements. Graph cut segmentation does not require good initialization. You draw lines on the image, called scribbles, to identify what you want in the foreground and what you want in the background. The Image Segmenter segments the image automatically based on your scribbles and displays the segmented image. You can refine the segmentation by drawing more scribbles on the image until you are satisfied with the result.
The Graph Cut technique applies graph theory to image processing to achieve fast segmentation. The technique creates a graph of the image where each pixel is a node connected by weighted edges. The higher the probability that pixels are related the higher the weight. The algorithm cuts along weak edges, achieving the segmentation of objects in the image. The Image Segmenter uses a particular variety of the Graph Cut algorithm called lazysnapping. For information about another segmentation technique that is related to graph cut, see Segment Image Using Local Graph Cut (Grabcut) in Image Segmenter.
Read an image into the workspace. For this example, read the sample image
baby.png into the workspace.
b = imread('baby.jpg');
From the MATLAB® toolstrip, open the Image Segmenter app. On the Apps tab, in the Image Processing and Computer Vision section, click Image Segmenter.
On the app toolstrip, click Load, and then select Load Image from Workspace. In the Import from Workspace dialog box, select the image you read into the workspace. The Image Segmenter app displays the image you selected.
You can also open the app using the
imageSegmenter command, specifying the image:
On the Image Segmenter app toolstrip, select Graph Cut.
The Image Segmenter opens a new tab for Graph Cut segmentation. As a first step in Graph Cut segmentation, mark the elements of the image that you want to be in the foreground. When the Image Segmenter opens the Graph Cut tab, it preselects the Mark Foreground option. To mark an object as foreground, draw a line (also called a scribble) over the object. When you draw a line, try to include all the different values in the object you want to segment. You can draw as many separate lines as you like. If you are not satisfied with the lines you draw, you can always edit them. Click Erase and move the cursor over any part of the line you want to remove. If want to start over, click Clear Markings.
Next, click Mark Background and draw scribbles to mark the elements of the image you want to be the background. When you finish drawing the lines, the Image Segmenter immediately performs the segmentation (shown in blue).
To refine the segmentation, continue drawing foreground and background lines. For example, there are several areas near the bottom of the image that need to be removed from the foreground. To fix these problems, draw additional background lines on these parts of the image.
To get a better look at the segmentation, click Show Binary.
When you are satisfied with the segmentation, click Create Mask in the toolstrip on the Graph Cut tab. The app closes the Graph Cut tab and returns you to the Segmentation tab.
When you return to the main Segmentation tab, you can use tools to refine the mask image, such as Morphology and Active Contours. To save the mask image, click Export. You can also use the Export option to obtain the code the Image Segmenter app used to create the segmentation.

Optimizing MD parametrization on the basis of QM
Post date: Aug 2, 2012 3:32:49 PM
How to check if MD geometry (caused by the current parametrization) is consistent with the QM one.
Note that QM is computed in vacuo with gaussian03 and may be very slow.
- Parametrize the fragment
- Run a short MD run, preferably of solvated system
- Compute (or check visually) the average structure
QM part (based on Gaussian)
module add ambertools module add gaussian antechamber -i BEN.pdb -fi pdb -o BEN.gin -fo gcrt -nc 1 -pf y # optionally add: -gm "%mem=1000MB" -gn "%nproc=8"
BEN.gin and change the first line in… (not necessary?)
_TAG_/6-31G* Test opt. Then:
g03 BEN.gin antechamber -i BEN.log -fi gout -o BEN-QM.pdb -fo pdb -nc 1 -pf y
This gives you
BEN-QM.pdb, that you should compare with the structure computed in the first step.
IMPORTANT 1. In presence of symmetry, geometry can converge to a wrong minimum. In doubt, start from non-symmetric structures (e.g. add noise)!
IMPORTANT 2. If you get "Write error in NtrExt1: Bad address" or similar: gaussian only works on mio and a few other machines due to the "va address randomization". Ask sysadmins to disable.
Runs on 4 cores by default: 30' for BEN on mio.
If you want to improve the parametrization of the MD structure:
- Identify the torsion angle to be changed (e.g. ca-ca-c2-n3 for BEN)
- Check that it is used only once in the system (parameters are defined by atom type)
- Identify the direction of the change required (e.g.: multiplicity? minimum? harmonic constant?)
- Put the changed parameter in a
DIHE ca-ca-c2-n3 1 1.500 000.000 4.000
- Load the frcmod together with the others, and build the system as usual
- Repeat the MD step until sufficient accuracy.


should be done to prove this.
When using the commission expense from the tax return be ALERT -- the commission expense might include wages and thus you have an employee vs. independent contractor issue (see section on Employee vs. Independent contractor, below). Separate the wage expense from the actual commission expense. The commission expense can then be used in an algebraic formula to determine retail sales.
Method 3 - Retail Income Formula
Information needed:
 1. Commission expense on tax return
 2. Commission percent paid on retail sales
Commission Expense divided by the Employee Commission percent paid on sales equals Retail Income
There are two items to consider when reconstructing retail sales using this formula:
 1. Consideration for special sales on products (there might not be a 100 percent mark-up) and
 2. Consideration for "walkthrough" traffic where no specific worker receives a commission.
It is worth reiterating that these audit techniques are guides and not absolutes. However, they have been effective in previous examinations. Using the techniques, adjustments have been made to the individual (booth renter) who failed to report his or her commission income. In the situations encountered, Forms 1099 were not issued by the salon owner for the commissions paid. In addition, salon income was also adjusted. The salon had understated retail revenue. The first indication of a potential problem was noted through the COGS percentage comparison.
Example - Retail Income Formula
Information provided:
 1. Commission Expense per Tax Return equals $15,000
 2. Commission Percent equals 15%
 3. COGS equals $53,000
 4. Retail income per tax return equals $105,000
COGS times 2 equals the Potential Retail Income
$53,000 times 2 equals $ 106,000
Retail Income equals the Commission Expense divided by Employee Commission Percent paid or $15,000 divided by 15 percent which equals Retail Revenue of $100,000.
Analysis of Reported Retail Income:
1. There is a percent mark-up on cost. The industry practice is 100 percent mark-up on cost. This mark-up percent is reasonable.
2. The commission expense reported on the tax return indicates retail revenue should be at least $100,000.
Note: Small amounts of skimming are not easily identified. These two formulas were designed to identify large discrepancies.
Rental Income
If all stylists are employees there will be no rental income.
If the salon has all booth rentals, the salon owner is a landlord. Verify the available spacehow many chairs, or "booths" are there, and the number that were occupied. As with any landlord, be suspicious whenever there are unrented booths. This means the business is operating below capacity and costing the landlord money. It is very unlikely the business would have unrented booths.
Appointment Book
The appointment book can be used as a tool in an income probe. Have the salon owner or individual (the individual may be a stylist or some type of worker providing a service) go through a day in the appointment book and explain the scheduling and recording procedure for appointments. Normally, there is a coding system used to designate the type of service scheduled and whether or not the customer kept the appointment. For example, the barber may enter the customer's name for a regular cut, the customer's named may be circled for a style and a "b" may be placed by the customer's name to indicate a beard trim. Each salon has its own scheduling and recording procedures.
It is crucial to ask in the initial interview about the types of services provided (cuts, perms, coloring) and the scheduling procedures (walk-ins, set appointments). Also, ask the salon owner about the salon activity, what percentage of each service is customary for that salon and how much activity is normal. The salon owner may remember busy or slow months. Verify the statements by looking in the appointment book and reconcile the statements to the income reported.
Frank, a barber stated that he worked 5 days a week. Reviewing the appointment book, it was determined that he actually worked 6 days a week. However, consistent with his statement, but inconsistent with the appointment book, he reported only income from the operation of 5 of the 6 days.
Another important examination step is to compare the type of services and the number of appointments to the amount of income reported. The salon should have a list of services and prices. Services provided could include: hair cuts, shampoo/style, perms, hair color, nail services, skin care/facials, make-up hair removal, tanning, massage, etc. Compare the services provided with the standard prices. Use the Service Revenue Formula to calculate the average appointment price. By calculating the average appointment price, that amount can be compared to the standard prices changed in the salon. This technique is not an absolute, but can indicate potential income problems.
In addition to the appointment book, a salon or barbershop may also maintain a daily income summary. This should be tested and compared to the appointment book. In some situations, using only the appointment book, the income reported was very close to the correct income. However, in other situations, income was understated. In one case, it was found that the daily income was understated by about $300 due to numerous walk-in appointments not recorded in the appointment book. In that situation, the barber had, however, recorded the correct income in the daily income summary. The point is that while the appointment book is an important document to review, it may not reflect all services actually rendered. Therefore, it is important to analyze it in conjunction with other available records.
Method 4 - Rental Income Formula
Information needed:
 1. Flat rate of rent
 2. Number of Stations
 3. Rent Revenue per Tax Return
Flat Rent Paid times Number of Stations times 52 Weeks equal the Rental Revenue (adjust for vacancy rate)
Analysis of Rent Revenue Reported
Total Rent Revenue Reported divided by 52 Weeks equal's weekly rental revenues
Weekly rental revenues divided by the number of stations equal the amount reported per station.
Example - Rental Income Formula
Information Needed:
 1. Flat Rate of Rent per Station equals $130
 2. Number of Stations equals 10
 3. Rent Revenue per Tax Return equals $65,000
$130 times 10 times 52 equals $67,600
Total Rent Revenue Reported divided by 52 Weeks equal's weekly rental revenues:
$65,000 divided by 52 equals $1,250 per week rental revenue
Weekly rental revenues divided by the number of stations equal the amount reported per station:
$1,250 divided by 10 equals $125 reported per station
Compare the flat rate of rent per station and the reported rate per station. In this particular example, $130 compared to $125 is reasonable. The objective of this comparison is to identify large discrepancies between the flat rate of rent and the reported rate of rent.
Indirect Methods
The Service does not have unlimited discretion to use an indirect method. An indirect method should be used only when the facts of the individual case warrant its use. For example, when:
 1. The taxpayer has no books and records, or incomplete books and records. Incomplete means not sufficient for the examiner to perform a meaningful audit.
 This issue should be documented in the workpapers. If a taxpayer's books and records are inadequate, the examiner should prepare a detailed inventory of the books provided and why they are inadequate. Failure to produce the appointment book for review will usually constitute incomplete records.
 2. The examiner tests the books and records provided by the taxpayer (for example, with a Cash-T method) and determines that they do not accurately reflect income. While use of the Cash-T method may not always, in itself, be used as evidence of the correct tax liability, it can be used a basis, or justification, for the Service to reconstruct the taxpayer's income using an indirect method.
Identification of likely sources of unreported income is generally necessary for the Service to sustain an indirect method of deficiency. In the case of salons and barbershops, like most cash intensive businesses, the most likely source of unreported cash or other unreported service, retail or rental revenue is the business itself. Courts have upheld the Service in situations in which the taxpayers have likely sources of income and no books and records. Careful documentation of the investigation is essential in sustaining a deficiency in such a case.
Employee VS. Independent Contractor
This section discusses the common law factors and relief under Section 530, State Regulatory Authority, revenue rulings, and court cases.
Common Law Factors
The question of whether an individual is an independent contractor or an employee is determined based upon consideration of the facts and application of the law and regulations in each particular case.
See Professional & Executive Leasing V. Commissioner, 89, T.C. 225, 232 (1987), aff'd 862 F.2d 751 (9th Cir. 1988); Simpson v. Commissioner, 64 T.C. 974m 984 (1975). Guides for determining the existence of that status are found in three substantially similar sections of the Employment Tax Regulations; namely, section 31.3121(d)-1, 31.3306(i)-1, and 31.304(c)-1, relating to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), and federal income tax withholding, respectively.
In general, it should be noted that section 3121(d) (2) of the Internal Revenue Code requires the application of the common law rules in determining the employeremployee relationship. In determining whether an individual is an

The term paraskevidekatriaphobia was first coined in the early nineties by Dr. Donald E. Dossey, an American psychotherapist specialising in phobias and stress management, who reputedly claimed that when someone was able to pronounce the word they were cured. The term is based on the Greek words paraskevi ('Friday') and dekatria ('thirteen') with -phobia as a suffix to indicate 'fear'.
No-one is quite certain why people associate Friday the 13th with bad luck. Various theories have been put forward over the years, including Friday as the day of Christ's crucifixion and the ancient Egyptian belief that the 13th stage of life is death. Whatever the roots of this irrational fear, it seems to represent a very real concern to many people, so much so that a 1993 article in the British Medical Journal investigated the relation between 'health, behaviour and superstition surrounding Friday the 13th in the United Kingdom'.
The study reported the surprising finding that, despite the fact that fewer people chose to travel on Friday 13th, there were significantly more hospital admissions due to accidents than there were on 'normal' Fridays!

You create 3 seperate dimensions (Order Date, Due Date and Ship Date), each based on the same date dimension of the data warehouse. This results in 3 cube dimensions (the dimensions linked to the measure groups in the cube).2. You only create 1 dimension, simply called Date. You add the same dimension 3 times to the cube (so 3 cube dimensions). You rename them to Order Date, Ship Date and Due Date. In the dimension usage tab, you link the correct keys. For example, you link the Ship Date Key with the Date Key of the date dimension. The same for Due Date and Order Date.The last option is the role playing dimension. You have only 1 physical dimension - the date dimension - but you link it 3 times to the measure group (the fact table). Depending on the link used, the dimension behaves differently, hence the name "role playing".Fri, 06 Jun 2014 01:02:04 GMTKoen VerbeeckWhat is role playing dimensionhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1578145-17-1.aspxHi All,I am a newbie to SSAS.
