Have you ever stopped to wonder about the avocado's bizarrely large seed? How on earth this most scrumptious of plants could ever have propagated itself in the wild when swallowing such a seed could mean extreme discomfort when passing it or even death by choking?
Unlike many other plants we eat that humans have genetically manipulated over the years to make larger, more nutritious, and more delicious (such as corn and strawberries), today's avocados are pretty much the same as their ancient ancestors. But it turns out that the animals that helped the avocado spread its massive seeds no longer exists.
To learn more, check out this post on Brainpickings that reviews Connie Barlow's 2002 book The Ghosts of Evolution: Nonsensical Fruit, Missing Partners, and Other Ecological Anachronisms and includes the following It's Okay to Be Smart video about stinky ginko seeds and avocados:
Without an animal around that can eat avocados without fear of choking or asphyxiation, the avocado only remains because humans find it so goddamn delicious. In honor of our ancestors that decided this fruit was worth preserving, below are directions for how I usually make guacamole. Enjoy!
2 ripe avocados
1-2 cloves garlic, depending on size (and love of garlic)
1 bunch cilantro
Fresh ground black pepper
1. Slice open the avocados long ways, twist apart, remove the seed, halve the halves, and turn the quarters inside out to remove the avocado flesh into a bowl. Here's a video of how I do it (and yes, I do drop the pit on the floor):
2. Smash the garlic clove with the flat of your knife, finely mince, and add to the bowl.
3. Halve the lime, and (depending on how juicy your lime is) squeeze the juice into the bowl. (Start with just one half; you can always add more later.)
4. Using a fork, mash the avocado chunks against the side of the bowl to your desired level of smoothness or chunkiness, mixing in with the garlic and lime as you do.
5. Slice open the jalapeno, remove seeds and membranes, finely dice, and add to the bowl.
6. Chop a handful of cilantro off of the bunch, finely chop, and add to the bowl.
7. Mixing everything together, then taste. Add more lime if it needs to be brighter. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Apple examining ways to detect light through a display for Face ID, Touch ID
article thumbnail
Apple is continuing to refine its work on light sensors that could work through a display, likely for use in a future version of Face ID or Touch ID on an iPhone.
Current iPhone models, like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series, house their Face ID system and sensor suite in a notch at the top of the display. Apple, however, is working on a system that could ultimately allow it to minimize or nix the notch entirely.
In a patent application published March 4 and titled "Sensing System for Detection of Light Incident to a Light Emitting Layer of an Electronic Device Display," Apple lays out a system to embed a light detection layer in the display stack. "In particular, light sensors associated with the light sensing system can be distributed around or within an active display area of the display," the patent reads.
The patent gives two immediate examples, claiming that the light sensors could "assemble an image of an object touching the display." That could work for in-display Touch ID based on an optical imaging system. The patent also contends that the iPhone's ambient light sensor could also be included.

More specifically, the system itself could include an array of photodiodes or solar cells integrated between pixels regions or the perimeter of a light-emitting display. The system could use electrical signals from the photodiodes or solar cells to "sense a color" or the "intensity of light incident to the display stack."
The patent notes that it mostly covers use of the system for an ambient light sensor, but adds that its value doesn't stop there.
"[An ambient light sensor] is merely one example and in other implementations the light sensing system can be suitably configured to be used as, or with: an optical imaging system (e.g. camera, light field sensor, depth sensor, fingerprint imaging sensor, iris or retina imaging system, and so on); a touch input sensor; a force input sensor; a biometric measurement system (e.g., photoplethysmogram sensor, blood oxygenation sensor, respiration sensor, and so on); and so on," the patent claims.
Most of the patent's descriptions focus on the ambient light sensor. Even if it's only used for an ambient light sensor, the system could be used to reduce the size of the notch in future iPhone models since the light sensor is currently embedded in the notch.
However, given rumors that Apple is looking to minimize the notch or bring back Touch ID on a future handset, it's likely that the patent application is part of a growing body of technology that could make that happen.
The patent application lists Mohammad Yeke Yazdandoost; Lun Tsai; Meng-Huan Ho; Niva A. Ran; Akshay Bhat; Volodymyr Borshch; Anand K. Chamakura; and Giovanni Gozzini as its inventors. Many of them have been previously credited on patent applications related to display-embedded components, including cellular or Wi-Fi antennas or under-display Touch ID.
Apple files numerous patents on a weekly basis, so an individual patent application isn't a good indicator of the timing or likelihood of a product release.

I am trying to show that the following equation system:
$$e^u+e^v+2-4e^{x^2-y}=0$$ $$\sin u+xu-v^4-y=0$$
Does not define $(y,x)$ as a function of $(u,v)$ implicitly around $(0,0,0,0)$.
Attempt What I tried to do was find $u,v$ such that in a small radius of (0,0,0,0) the equation would have no solution. My best guess was $u=0, v=R$ (where $R =$ radius), but I had difficulty showing that the system then has no solution.
Help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Differentiate implicitely with respect to u and v and evaluate at 0. Then see if the Jacobian matrix is singular. – PAD Jul 5 '12 at 7:32
We hadn't learned this technique yet (this is a question from a former exam I'm prepping with)... is there another solution? – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 7:41
_USER_ You need to use the implicit function theorem. – fpqc Jul 5 '12 at 7:49
_USER_: I know a version of the implicit function theorem that would let me prove this is an implicit function, but not one that would let me prove it isn't. Is there something I might be missing here? – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 7:52

You have the right idea. Setting $u=0$ simplifies the system to $e^v+3=4e^{x^2-y}$, $y=-v^4$. The key observation is that the exponent $x^2-y$ cannot be negative, and this is a problem for the first equation when $v<0$.
share|improve this answer
Oh! I missed the fact that $y=-v^4$, thought it was $y=v^4$. – ro44 Jul 5 '12 at 16:40

The implicit function theorem guarantees you a nice solution $x=x(u,v)$, $\ y=y(u,v)$ with $x(0,0)=0$, $\ y(0,0)=0$ if a certain "technical condition" is satisfied, but has nothing to say if this condition is not satisfied (which is the case here).
On the other hand we can go and solve the system for $x$ and $y$ explicitly. From the second equation we deduce $y=x u+\sin u-v^4$, and plugging this into the first equation gives $$e^u+e^v+2=4\exp(x^2-x u-\sin u+v^4)$$ or $$x^2 - xu -\sin u +v^4-\log\Bigl(1+{e^u-1\over4}+{e^v-1\over4}\Bigr)=0\.$$ This is a quadratic equation for $x$ which you can solve explicitly, but it might have complex solutions for some $(u,v)$ near $(0,0)$. Maybe you don't allow this.
To see what happens we retain only the terms of order $\leq2$ in $u$ and $v$. We then have the equation $$x^2-x u-{5\over4}u-{1\over4}v-{1\over32}(3u^2-2u v+3v^2)=0$$ with the formal solutions $$x={1\over2}\Bigl(u\pm\sqrt{5u+v+{\rm quadratic\ terms}}\Bigr)\.$$ Here the radicand is negative on one side of a quadric going through the origin of the $(u,v)$-plane. This implies that in the immediate neighborhood of $(0,0)$ there are points $(u,v)$ to which correspond no real $(x,y)$ solving the given system of equations.

 2. Etymological origin of Italian surname: Coronella
Etymological origin of Italian surname: Coronella
Corona is present a little all over Italy, it has strains with different origins, in Sardinia, in the Taranto area, in Campania and in the Palermo area, Coronella has a stock in the Caserta and Naples areas and one in the Catania and Syracuse areas, Coronelli has a stock in the Bari area. Triggiano and Capurso, Coronello, absolutely rare, would appear to be from Campania, they should derive, directly or through hypocorisms, from the term crown as a governing body, a bit like a judge or baglio or capitaneo, but it is also possible a derivation from the Spanish term coronel (colonel ), perhaps to indicate that the progenitors belonged to the military hierarchy, whether in a joking tone to characterize their behavior, in Trentino it could derive from toponyms such as Mezzacorona (TN), and so on. We find traces of these surnames in Solofra (AV) in the second half of the 1400s with a certain Nardello de Corona. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas CORONA: means crown and comes from the Latin corona, from the Greek?????? (Crowns). It is a surname spread throughout Italy, in 857 Municipalities, of which 139 in Sardinia: Cagliari 308, Maracalagonis 189, Quartu 149, Selargius 94. In the peninsula: Rome has 389, Palermo 230, Milan 141, Turin 137, Naples 135, etc. etc. It is a term used in many expressions: a wreath of flowers; the laurel wreath of the poets and formerly of the victorious generals in Rome; the (golden) crown of the king, or by metonymy the sovereign himself; the crown of the friars, Franciscans and Dominicans, which defines the tonsure; a group of people arranged in a circle; and many others. But in the medieval history of Sardinia the word Corona, with a capital letter, takes on special meanings. In the judicial kingdoms of Càlari, Torres, Gallura and Arborea and also in the subsequent Catalan-Aragonese Kingdom of Sardinia, "Sa Corona", was a judicial assembly and was so called because in the beginning, the judges met in a circle. In the Carta de Logu, by Arborea (the first collection of laws written in Sardinian, in 198 chapters; written by order of Mariano IV and issued in 1392 by his daughter Eleonora), there are 5 active Coronas, with different functions: "Sa Corona "de Mayori de Villa; it is a territorial, judicial and administrative court, formed by a jury, chaired by the Mayori de Villa (administrator, mayor), composed of jurors, whose number varies according to the size of the Villa, ie the number of inhabitants. The Corona de Mayori de Villa did not meet on Sundays or on other holidays. The "Corona" de Portu,: court of 4 members, presided over by an official of the kingdom, the Mayori de Portu, who had supervision over the products on the market; punished fraud, set the right price for goods, inspected weights and measures; did not meet on holidays. The "Corona de Kita de Berrùda, was undoubtedly a military court. The Kita de Berrùda was in fact made up of a guardhouse or rather a real garrison of" lieros de caballu "(armed men, equipped with horses, trained to the battle and of "berrùda", typical weapon of the "lieros" (free men), which was constituted by a long rod, generally of wood, with the metallic tip. The "Corona" de Curatore: it was a court composed of about 5 "Curators"> magistrates for judicial, criminal and civil cases, but who also had the task of electing the magistrates of the Corona de Logu, who was the Major Court of the Kingdom, who intervened in the most important cases, this being presided over directly by the Judge. The "Corona" de Armentario de Logu; when the Corona de Logu was presided over by the highest official (after the Judge) of the kingdom: usually for administrative and economic cases. The "Crowns", all, did not meet on holidays. Crown, as a surname it is present in the ancient documents of the Sardinian language. Among the signatories of the Peace of Eleonora, LPDE of 1388, are: Corona (de) Andrea, ville Ville Longe (* Ville Longe.Villalonga: destroyed. Campitani Majoris); Corona (de) Benedicto, Lunamadrona villas (* Lunamadrona. Today Lunamatrona. Contrate Marmille); Corona (de) Joanne, villa Solgono (* Solgono.odierno Sorgono. Mandrolisay and Barbagia di Belvì); Corona (de) Mursino, villas Ville Longe. In the Condaghe of Santa Maria di Bonarcado, CSMB, XI °, XIII °, there are: Corona (de) Micale (214), and Corona (de) Orzocco (150). In contemporary history we cite Corona Armando (known Armandino): (Villaputzu - 1921. Ca), political; President of the Council of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia; regional councilor; president of Italian Freemasonry; graduated in medicine and surgery at the Faculty of Medicine of Cagliari. He practiced as a doctor until 1969; after which he dedicated himself to entrepreneurial and political activity.

MLS - Microfluidic Bubble Detector
Elveflow provides a unique microfluidic bubble detector. It can identify if liquid is present in clear tubes. It can be plugged directly onto our OB1 flow controller, or it can be used as a standalone unit with the Sensor Reader and another instrument.
The sensor is able to register the presence of fluids inside clear tubing, trigger a signal to another instrument and act accordingly – like stop, wait a certain amount of time, allow enough flow to clear the tubing, or reset the sensor.
Get Quote or Technical Information
(We will answer within 24 hours)
The microfluidic bubble detector detection is based on the measurement of the optical path and the variation of this path when the medium flowing is changing.
The sensor comes in two different housing suited to the use with 1/16″ or 1/4″ outside diameter tubes.
- Reliable non invasive technique
- Cost effective compared to camera check
- Based on true/false logic
- Large compatibility: wide range of tubing size
- Software average functions
- Use anywhere in your setup
- Prevents damage in cells with bubble bursts
- Setup automation (possibility to use if conditions)
- Bubble detection
- Liquid level sensing
- Blood processing equipment
- Patent connected medical devices
- Perform bilateral recirculation based on air detection
One particular application worth to mention is using the microfluidic liquid sensor as a bubble detector. Bubbles are a big challenge to address in microfluidics, as they can induce flow modifications or interact with the experiment and cause damage. One can monitor the apparition of bubbles (change in the working fluid) at any given point of his setup and automate the experiment accordingly like switching valves to direct the bubble in another fluidic path for instance. For further information check out the example tab on this same page.
A light beam is emitted by a LED at known power. This light beam goes through the capillary and the fluid passing through. It is then collected by an NPN silicon phototransistor. This phototransistor converts the light power into an electrical power.
When a fluid changes, the optical index and the light absorption coefficient change accordingly. It induces a change in the electrical power and allows to detect changes in the fluid.

Control your experiments through C, Python, Matlab®, Labview® or the Elveflow® Smart Interface. The Elveflow® Smart Interface is a software application offering all the functionalities that microfluidicists need.
- Apply pressure on line 1.
- When tube 1 is empty bubbles will appear.
- The liquid sensor 1 detects the bubbles and then pressure in line 1 is turned off. Simultaneously a pressure is applied in line 2.
- Then, when the tube 2 is empty, bubbles will appear.
- The liquid sensor 2 detects the bubbles and the pressure in line 2 is turned off. Simultaneously, a pressure is applied in line 1.
- It can be continued as many times as you want.
The microfluidic liquid sensor has many applications. This is one is a smart way to perform bidirectional recirculation without using valves.

Globe-Trotting Gnome Highlights Earth's Weird Gravity
Here, the gnome is standing at the Antarctic South Pole. Turns out, the gnome (and you) weighs more at the South Pole than at the equator.
There aren't too many gardens at the South Pole. But there are, apparently, garden gnomes.
A globe-trotting little garden gnome dubbed "Kern" recently visited Amundsen-Scott Research Station at the geographic South Pole in Antarctica. The inanimate traveler's trip was a take on the "Traveling Gnome Prank," a joke that's been in vogue since the 1980s, when pranksters started stealing garden gnomes and sending photographs of the statuettes in front of famous sightseeing spots to their owners.
Kern's travels have a scientific bent, however. The precision scale company Kern & Sohn is teaming up with schools and research stations worldwide to highlight the variations of gravity across the globe.
"Most people don't realize Earth's gravity actually varies slightly," Tommy Fimpel, one of the experiment's coordinators, explained in a statement. "One of the main causes is variations in the shape of the planet. Believe it or not, the Earth is actually slightly potato-shaped, so you'll weigh up to 0.5 percent more or less, depending on where you go."
Even glaciers can change an area's gravity; a mysterious dip in gravity over Canada is likely the result of now-melted glaciers that left behind an imprint from which Earth is still rebounding.
"We thought our Gnome Experiment would be a fun way to measure the phenomenon," Fimpel said.
So far, Kern has traveled, via the mail, to places as far-flung as Lima, Mumbai, Mexico, South Africa, San Francisco, New Caledonia, Sydney and the South Pole. [Photos of Globe-Trotting Gnome]
At the South Pole, where Kern landed last month, the gnome tipped the scale at 309.82 grams, his heaviest measurement yet. That's because the inertia produced by Earth's rotation is stronger at the poles, said Marie McLane, a researcher with the United States Antarctic program and Kern's "host" on the visit to Antarctica. Earth is also slightly squished in shape, with a bulge at the equator, so the planet is less thick at the poles, also contributing to a stronger gravitational effect.
Kern jetted off to Japan after hitting Antarctica, weighing in at 307.9 grams in Tokyo. His next stop is at Snolab in Canada, an underground research station 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) below the Earth's surface. From there, Kern will visit the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator, at CERN near Geneva.
Kern's journey to Antarctica didn't only highlight the gravitational vagaries of Earth; it also shed light on the planet's elusive garden gnome population. The gnome's visit inspired McLane to do some detective work around the Amundsen-Scott Research Station. She found five little gnomes already lurking in labs and other spots around the station — including one, fittingly enough, guarding a greenhouse.
Kern's progress can be tracked at gnomeexperiment.com.

Grooming Pacific Perch Beach Branch 1012 Bolt On Large
5 in stock
Grooming Pacific Perch Beach Branch Bolt On by Prevue 11 in Large
Grooming perches are one of the more misunderstood bird cage accessories. Some veterinarians flat out tell their patients not to use them at all. Once you understand the proper use you'll see this is one texture of perch your cage should not be without.
- 100% Natural,Digestible, Ground Calcium with Real Sea Shells.
- Texture Helps to Groom Your Bird's Nails and Beak.
- Variable Shape Exercises Feet. A Healthy Alternative to Ordinary Perches.
- Veterinary Approved and Recommended.
We try to include what bird sizes match up to the accessory in the listing. Because there's hundreds of species of parrots and parakeets it's not always easy to make a precise recommendation. The diameter of the grooming perch should be large enough so the front toes do not meet the back toes. In this way the ends of the toenails are always sliding against a rough surface helping keep the nails and optimal length
Grooming perches come in a number of surfaces from literally sandpaper to ground calcium to concrete and other materials. They are designed to keep your birds nails and beak trimmed.
By no means should any sort of grooming perch be used to sleep on is this can irritate your birds feet and cause sores over time. Ironically we get complaints all the time from people whose birds feet had developed sores and inevitably when asked what kind of perch the birds slept on the answer is usually a grooming perch that was placed up high in the cage and was the birds main sleeping perch.
We suggest grooming perches be placed in one of two areas of the bird cage. Either install it inside the cage door where the bird can come down and rest on when the door opens. Because the bird is happy to get out of the cage they will do a brief happy dance which will aid in grooming their nails.
We feel the best place for the grooming perch is near the food bowls. Bird spend 10 to 15 min. a day they their food bowls in general. While they are eating their very active which means their feet are always moving on the perch with aids in grooming in the nails.
They will usually wipe their beak in the middle of the meal or at the end of the meal to remove food particulate off. If they're standing on a grooming perch when they like the the, grooming perch it will help them keep it trim and sharp. A bird's beak is its most important piece of anatomy and so a grooming perch while dining will prove to be very helpful in maintaining your birds overall health

MPD Emergency Response Plan
In emergency situations that affect public safety, law enforcement will be among the first responding agencies. In the District of Columbia, residents, businesses and visitors depend on the MPD to ensure the protection of life and property. The MPD responds to all threats to public safety occurring within the city, while simultaneously providing basic police services in neighborhoods. It is essential that the MPD be prepared to maximize resources and capabilities, to ensure that critical tasks are undertaken efficiently and effectively when a major threat to public safety exists.
The MPD Emergency Response Plan is the standard used to set an appropriate threat Response Level. A response level is required during threat conditions, such as terrorist activity, civil disturbance, natural catastrophe, severe weather or other emergencies that affect the safety and security of the visitors to and residents of the District of Columbia.
The MPD Response Level is designed to provide for the staffing, assignment, and deployment of MPDC members while coordinating activities with DC agencies, neighboring jurisdictions and federal agencies. It is determined by the Chief of Police or his/her designee and is based on present and known threats.
There are five color-coded threat designation levels and they are defined as follows:
Response Level RED
A major threat to public safety has occurred
Response Level ORANGE

Causes damage to die-casting molds
Causes of damage to die-casting molds:
 In die-casting production, the most common form of mold damage is cracking and cracking. Stress is the main cause of mold damage. Thermal, mechanical, chemical, and operational shocks are sources of stress, including mechanical stress and thermal stress. Stress is generated in:
 (1) In the process of mold manufacturing and manufacturing
 , the quality of rough forging. Some molds produce cracks only when they are produced in a few hundred pieces, and cracks develop rapidly. It is possible that only the outer dimensions are ensured during forging, and the loose defects such as dendrites, inclusions, shrinkage cavities, and bubbles in the steel are stretched and elongated along the processing method to form a streamline, and this streamline is for the future. The final quenching deformation, cracking, brittle fracture during use, and failure tendency have a great impact.
 2. The cutting stress generated during the final machining of the car, milling, planing, etc., which can be eliminated by intermediate annealing.
 3. The grinding stress is generated during the grinding of the hardened steel. The friction heat is generated during the grinding, and the softening layer and the decarburization layer are generated, which reduces the thermal fatigue strength and easily leads to thermal cracking and early cracking. After the fine grinding of h13 steel, it can be heated to 510-570 ° C, and the thickness is maintained every 25 mm for one hour for stress relief annealing.
 4. EDM produces stress. The surface of the mold produces a white bright layer rich in electrode elements and dielectric elements, which is hard and brittle. This layer itself has cracks and stress. EDM should use a high frequency to minimize the white layer. It must be removed by polishing and tempered. The tempering is carried out at the tertiary tempering temperature.
 Improper heat treatment during the mold processing process will cause the mold to crack and be prematurely scrapped. In particular, only quenching and tempering, no quenching, and surface nitriding will occur, and surface cracking will occur after several thousand die castings. Cracking. The stress generated when the steel is quenched is the result of the superposition of the thermal stress during the cooling process and the structural stress during the phase change. The quenching stress is the cause of the deformation and cracking, and the solid must be tempered to eliminate the stress.
 (3) in the process of die casting production
 The mold should be preheated to a certain temperature before production. Otherwise, when the high temperature molten metal is filled, chilling occurs, which causes the temperature gradient of the inner and outer layers of the mold to increase, forming thermal stress, causing the surface of the mold to crack or even crack. During the production process, the mold temperature is continuously increased. When the mold temperature is overheated, the mold is easily generated, and the moving parts are broken, resulting in damage to the mold surface. The cooling temperature control system should be set to keep the working temperature of the mold within a certain range.


Things To Note:
1. The figures provided above are indicative and were derived from the Medisave contribution schedule made available on the CPF Board website. These supplied figures are also largely relevant to individuals hailing from other self-employed professions (sole-proprietors, hawkers, taxi-drivers etc).
2. The age of the contributing individual is defined as that at 1 January 2016.
3. Medisave contribution schedules are subjected to changes at the discretion of the relevant authorities. It is strongly advised that the individual consult the CPF Board website for the latest updates.
4.Arrangements can be made to fulfil one's Medisave contribution via a GIRO installment payment plan. Say for example, if a 48 year old private tutor is required to contribute 7200 SGD based on a net taxable income of 72,000 SGD, he can set aside 7200/12 =600 SGD per month to meet his minimum contribution requirements.
5.The current Medisave contribution ceiling stands at 49,800 SGD. Whilst filing tax returns next year, ie 2017, tax reliefs can be claimed for current contributions.


Epistylis in Koi and Pond Fish Ponds
Epistylis is a relatively uncommon parasite of Koi, goldfish and pond fish. Indeed, it is so uncommon, that I do not have any good graphics of it. What you would see clinically is a tuft of whitish fluff coming out from under a scale, or from some other wound on the Koi, goldfish and pond fish. It gives the impression of a fungal infection but looks radically different under the microscope. Usually, fish with Epistylis are rather hale, considering they are parasitized. Epistylis does not occur in tanks or environments which are clean, and which have a low organic load. You would normally expect to find Epistylis in unfiltered ponds and lakes on common pond fish. I have not recovered Epistylis from any of the finer, aquarium raised Koi, goldfish and pond fish. I have cleared the few cases I have seen in ponds with massive water changes, removal of the organic load in the system, and the application of 0.3% saline.
The organism is clinically relevant because many people treat these cases as if they were funguses; eventually killing the fish with useless treatments and arriving at the conclusion that fungus is hard to cure. Indeed, they were treating Epistylis with anti fungal remedies and not addressing the true cause of the Epistylis infection = Filth!
The condition of Epistylis is prevalent, but not very common in the typically cleaner environments encountered with Koi, goldfish and pond fish keepers.

Aug. 20, 2007 -- Girl's preference for pink may have developed for
evolutionary reasons rather than just a passion for fuchsia.
A new study shows that men and women have natural color preferences. Blue is
the overall favorite for both, but women prefer a redder or more pinkish shade
of blue than men.
Researchers say this predilection for pinker hues may have evolved because
of women's traditional role as the gatherer, allowing them to pick out the
red, ripe fruit from a sea of green in the forest.
"Evolution may have driven females to prefer reddish colors -- reddish
fruits, healthy, reddish faces," says researcher Anya Hurlbert of Newcastle
University, England, in a news release. "Culture may exploit and compound
this natural female preference."
In the study, researchers asked a group of more than 200 adults to quickly
pick their preferred color from a pair of colored rectangles on a computer
"Although we expected to find sex differences, we were surprised at how
robust they were, given the simplicity of our test," says Hurlbert.
Although both men and women had a natural preference for "bluish" contrasts,
the study showed women's top choices were at the reddish end of the hue
Specifically, researchers found women preferred colors in the reddish-purple
region of the color spectrum, while men's preference shifted towards
"On top of that, females have a preference for the red end of the
red-green axis. And this shifts their color preference slightly away from blue
towards red, which tends to make pinks and lilacs the most preferred colors in
comparison with others," says Hurlbert.
Researchers say the next step will be to test the color preferences of
infants to separate the "nature vs. nurture" element of color preference.
As for the universal preference for blue, "I can only speculate,"
says Hurlbert. "I would favor evolutionary arguments again here. Going back
to our 'savannah' days, we would have a natural preference for a clear blue
sky, because it signaled good weather. Clear blue also signals a good water

(CNN) -- The Chinese air force have a new secret weapon: monkeys.
The People's Liberation Army Air Force has trained macaques to keep its troops safe by discouraging birds from nesting near the air force base, the PLA's website reported earlier this week.
The monkeys are used in an unidentified air force base in northern China, which is situated right on a major migratory route for birds.
When swarms of birds fly around the base, it poses a threat to military planes that are in mid-flight. The birds could potentially get sucked into plane engines, endangering the lives of both birds and pilots.
"Don't worry, we now have a secret weapon!" Su Chuang, a high-ranking officer, was quoted as saying on the PLA website. The officer was referring to the specially-trained monkeys that answer to the sound of a whistle.
When the nests of birds are discovered in tree tops, the monkey army is deployed to remove them.
The PLA have tried many different methods to remove the nests in the past, including opening fire on the nests, using long bamboo poles to topple them out of trees, and having soldiers climb the trees to pick them out.
None of these methods were very effective. Apart from being time-consuming and dangerous for the officers who had to climb the trees, the birds kept coming back.
However, when monkeys remove the nests, the birds do not return, as the macaques leave a scent on the branches that discourage the birds, according to the PLA's web posting.
"The monkeys are loyal bodyguards who defend the safety of our comrades," said the web report.

FAQ: "Our customer has an accessory to do measurements with transparent preforms. My question is how I must to measure dark transparent preforms? On clear preforms, measurement data looks good. However, we could use some advice on darker colors, particularly amber."
The images you sent show that the amber preform is held in our D01-1011-833 Adjustable Preform or Cylinder Holder accessory.
Measuring clear, lighter preforms is fine but amber preforms offer a special challenge as the intention of the amber colorant is to absorb all light in order to protect the blown bottle contents. The same statement can apply to very dark green and blue preforms.
While the pulsed xenon lamp in our HunterLab sphere instruments is very powerful and will blast through most materials, the amber preform sample is a challenge.
In general if you can hold a preform up to a light and see detail on the other side of the preform, HunterLab sphere instruments should be able to measure usable color signal from the whole transparent preform measured in the holder.
For amber preforms, here is how we approach measurement of amber preforms:
- You first mount the D02-1011-833 Adjustable Transmission Preform or Cylinder Holder in the transmission compartment in one of our HunterLab sphere sensors.
- You then standardize the instrument with the first step being to set 0% transmission as the bottom-of-scale using the Light Blocker.
- Then you set top-of-scale with the white tile used to fill in the reflectance port and Air as a reference for 100% transmission.
- If you insert a whole preform into the holder and take a reading, the Y D65/10 transmission value should be > 10% to have a useable color signal. A Y transmission value is equivalent to L* D65/10 value of approximately 40 (L* is calculated directly from Y). It's not that you can't measure less than this, but remembering that a blocked detector or perfect black is 0 if your whole preform is measuring below Y = 10/L* = 40, your signal is very low down in the dark and murky, and it is difficult to separate lot differences when you are measuring so low.
- If Y < 10/L* < 40, one alternative to raise the signal is to cut the preform in half resulting in a thinner sample path length. Just cut down the tube to above the threads and measure a single wall cut-out of the preform. See if the signal is high enough in this form.
- A further alternative is to blow the preform into a test bottle and measure through the bottle or make a single wall cut-out of the bottle and measure that. This form, will have high enough signal strength to differentiate lots. However, it requires more sample preparation time.


Vampires versus Mathematicians
I just compared two searches on Google Trends:
 - How to become a vampire is in blue.
 - How to become a mathematician is in red.
Vampires versus Mathematicians
 1. swiety:
 Nice compared ;D
 2. alvarezp:
 Priceless! It really gives us a clue on the sad reality of what interests most people: what is real versus what's not. Or am I exaggerating? Maybe it just tells us that it is easier to dream than to study.
 3. majorana:
 alvarezp, it's not a sad reality. Only very few people are mentally wired to like math, or find it exciting. For the vast majority of the population, math is difficult and boring, and no amount of persuasion will ever make math easy or interesting for them. Besides, it's not fair to compare being a mathematician to being an immortal, almost indestructible, and exceedingly powerful uber-human.
 4. Karthik:
 Yes, but Ulam, Erdos, Hardy, and Ramanujan will be remembered for a long, long time. The chick who wrote Twilight? Not so much.
 But I think it is also important to distinguish between the ability to be good at math versus liking math. I just love math in every form, but I am not very good at it. I chose a rather applied route – engineering and computer science. It was entirely career driven, and looking back, if I had chosen what I was passionate about, I'd perhaps be a mathematician (but probably not a very good one). I embarked down a PhD in quantum computing before I realized if I ever did a PhD, it would be in math. I did not want to waste a decade doing something that I wasn't passionate about (albeit, enjoyable nevertheless).
 I think there are more people (like me) who enjoy math than is believed, but not being great at it puts them off. Perhaps not intentionally, but rather as a resignation of their math-less careers.
 5. Hari Parameswaran:
 While it's an interesting chart, it's probably not a fair comparison. Let's just consider teenagers – the few of them who want to become mathematician don't really need to search the web on how to become one. They are already interested in the subject, and have read books, and talked to teachers on how to go about it.
 On the other hand, the ones who are entranced by idiotic notions unfortunately have no other avenue of search except google (not very many books out there on the subject, nor are teachers likely to entertain such questions).
 So using google as a tool for comparison is biasing it towards the latter.
 6. Tanya Khovanova:
 I agree with you. I am glad that you noticed that.

Promising prospects for cooperation between DBDH and Castilla y León
Date: 12/11/2013
The memorandum of understanding between Castilla y León and DBDH, initiating the a partnership with the Spanish Bioenergy Association and regional politicians in the region of Castilla y León in Northern Spain seems very promising. The objective of the MOU is to promote renewable energy and make district heating more efficient in the region.
Through the cooperation DBDH intent to create a meeting platform for Danish and Spanish district heating companies and strengthen trading relationships between the two countries. The objective is to help establish Danish companies in the region thus enhancing the use of renewable energy in district heating plants.
Ever since 2006, the numbers of district heating plants in Spain have more than tripled. In the regions of the more cold areas of Spain, there is a rising need for Danish knowledge and technology in terms of heating. The Danish technology will make energy from heating plants more efficient. In addition, it will help to make use of the regions vast resources of forest and agriculture.
There have been a substantial amount of articles in the Spanish in the last days:

THIS SURVEY EXPLORES CANADIANS' AND AMERICANS' PERSPECTIVES ON MORTGAGE RATES AND INFLATION.
As inflation remains high, many Canadians and Americans are exploring ways to reduce their expenses. In our latest North American Tracker, we explored how inflation is impacting Canadians and Americans, and how an increase in mortgage rates would impact Canadians and Americans who currently have a mortgage.
This survey is conducted in collaboration with the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) and published in the Canadian Press. This series of surveys is available on Leger's website. Would you like to be the first to receive these results? Subscribe to our newsletter now.
MORTGAGE RATES AND INFLATION
- If mortgage rates went up by 1%, 13% of Canadians and 10% of Americans who have a mortgage would either face a significant financial burden, have to consider selling their home or have to sell their home. These figures balloon if rates were to increase by 3%.
- The proportion of Canadians (85%) and Americans (88%) who indicate that inflation is a serious problem for their household has increased since our last survey published on March 17, 2022.
- The top actions Canadians and Americans have taken due to rising inflation over the past few months are:
- Buying less expensive items at the grocery store (65% of Canadians, 49% of Americans)
- Eating at restaurants or ordering take-out less often (53% of Canadians, 41% of Americans)
- Reducing food waste to make their money go further (46% of Canadians, 40% of Americans)
This web survey was conducted from May 6 to 8, 2022, with 1,534 Canadians and 1,003 Americans, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO's online panel.
A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison, a probability sample of 1,534 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.5%, 19 times out of 20, while a probability sample of 1,003 respondents would have a margin of error of ±3.094%, 19 times out of 20.
THIS REPORT CONTAINS THE RESULTS FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND MORE!
- If mortgage rates went up, what would be the impact on your household finances?
- How serious a problem is inflation/increasing interest rates for your household?
- How would you describe your own household's finances today?
- What is the impact of inflation on your household in the following areas? Has inflation had…

Abstract: Incorporating energy awareness in identifying the routes in MANET is one of the mandatory mechanisms to be incorporated in any routing protocol. This helps reduce selfishness in node and hence prolongs the network's lifetime. This paper presents a metaheuristic based routing scheme for MANET that identifies next hop nodes not only based on their distance, but also on the residue charge left in them. This approach uses a modified Ant Colony Optimization technique with threshold limits for exploration and exploitation levels. These limits are set such that the exploration is given more importance, in-order to maintain the randomness and avoid repetitive usage of the same node. Experiments reveal that this approach exhibits low computational complexity and provides sufficient randomness for the node selection mechanism.

Leeds University Bans Profs From Using Capital Letters As It Scares Students
2 years ago
Obviously, you already heard from the Typical Student team about all these weird bans in colleges. Still, this time, lecturers have been banned from using capital letters when assigning work to students. Why is that? Just because it might upset them!
Where Did The Ban Happen?
leeds-bans-capital-letters-2.jpgThis story happened at the Leeds Trinity University, West Yorkshire, England. Local staff at the journalism department was informed that using uppercase letters may upset the students. Actually, the memo said that it will 'scare them into failure'. To say more, the memo also suggested how to address the students. There were such points as writing in a friendly tone and avoiding overbearing and negative language.
The Reaction
leeds-bans-capital-letters-1.jpgAs expected, some employees replied that they need caps to ensure students don't miss an important part of the assignment. The memo follows two other unis banning fancy dress and clapping. Firstly, autumn 2018, Kent University created a ban on students wearing costumes deemed 'inappropriate and offensive'. There were such things as cowboy outfits and sombreros, because they may jeopardize other students'.
Secondly, at the University of Manchester, the student union decided to replaced clapping with jazz hands. It was made to prevent people suffering from anxiety or sensory issues.

Asset Distance and Search Radius
For each polygon geofence that covers the asset position or is close to it, the Geofencing Extension API returns the geofence geometry together with the asset's distance to this geometry.
- The asset is outside of the geofence – the distance is the straight line to the closest border of the geofence. This is always the case for line and point geofences.
- The asset is inside the geofence – the distance is the straight line to the closest border of the polygon, with a negative sign.
- The asset is outside of the search radius – the geofence is not listed in the response.
- The asset is inside the polygon but further away from the border of the search radius – a special value indicating "far inside" is returned.
In your application, you can use the asset distance to generate events with different severity levels based on specific distance thresholds. You can also suppress superfluous events if the asset is moving along the geofence border, such as, entering or leaving the geofence frequently without a significant change in the asset distance.
- within the polygon 250m from the closest border
- within the polygon more than 20km from the closest border
- outside the geofence 333m from the closest border
- outside the geofence more than 20km from the closest border (this value applies to all non-listed geofences, when the asset is outside of the search radius)
Events such as entering, leaving, flickering along the border of the geofence, or re-entering the geofence do not receive an explicit response; only the asset distances. The same applies to a sequence of events, such as the asset entering the geofence for the third time or leaving for the second time on the same day.

What is the DEC Environmental Dispute Resolution Program?
The Environmental Dispute Resolution Program, which is overseen by the DEC Office of Hearings and Mediation Services, was begun in 1996. This program uses a consensus-based process in which a mediator helps parties who are involved in an environmental dispute reach a mutually acceptable decision. The mediator does not make any decision about the case. The results of the structured negotiation are up to the parties. The parties craft the result through their negotiations, with the assistance of a mediator. This program has proved successful in resolving conflicts in a number of situations, including disputes over environmental permits, allocation of environmental resources, and regulatory rule development.

'll have to scroll back to the function signature or use some IDE feature in order to see the return type and fully understand the return statement.
And here again it's not easy for someone reading the code for the first time to understand what is actually being constructed:
void DoSomething(const std::string &str);
const char* strValue =...;
size_t strLen =...;
DoSomething({strValue, strLen});
The code above is going to break when someone decides that DoSomething should also support some other string type, and adds this overload:
void DoSomething(const CoolStringType& str);
If CoolStringType happens to have a constructor which takes a const char* and a size_t (just like std::string does) then the call to DoSomething({strValue, strLen}) will result in an ambiguity error.
My answer to the actual question:
No, Uniform Initialization should not be thought of as a replacement for the old style constructor syntax.
And my reasoning is this:
If two statements don't have the same kind of intention, they shouldn't look the same. There are two kinds of notions of object initialization:
1) Take all these items and pour them into this object I'm initializing.
2) Construct this object using these arguments I provided as a guide.
Examples of the use of notion #1:
struct Collection
 int first;
 char second;
 double third;
Collection c {1, '2', 3.0};
std::array a {{ 1, 2, 3 }};
std::map m { {1, '1'}, {2, '2'}, {3, '3'} };
Example of the use of notion #2:
class Stairs
 std::vector stepHeights;
 Stairs(float initHeight, int numSteps, float stepHeight)
 float height = initHeight;
 for (int i = 0; i < numSteps; ++i)
 height += stepHeight;
Stairs s (2.5, 10, 0.5);
I think it's a bad thing that the new standard allows people to initialize Stairs like this:
Stairs s {2, 4, 6};
...because that obfuscates the meaning of the constructor. Initialization like that looks just like notion #1, but it's not. It's not pouring three different values of step heights into the object s, even though it looks like it is. And also, more importantly, if a library implementation of Stairs like above has been published and programmers have been using it, and then if the library implementor later adds an initializer_list constructor to Stairs, then all the code that has been using Stairs with Uniform Initialization Syntax is going to break.
I think that the C++ community should agree to a common convention on how Uniform Initialization is used, i.e. uniformly on all initializations, or, like I strongly suggest, separating these two notions of initialization and thus clarifying the intention of the programmer to the reader of the code.
Here's yet another reason why you shouldn't think of Uniform Initialization as a replacement for the old syntax, and why you can't use brace notation for all initializations:
Say, your preferred syntax for making a copy is:
T var1;
T var2 (var1);
Now you think you should replace all initializations with the new brace syntax so that you can be (and the code will look) more consistent. But the syntax using braces doesn't work if type T is an aggregate:
T var2 {var1}; // fails if T is std::array for example

If you have "" your code will be difficult to understand regardless of syntax. – kevin cline Dec 18 '12 at 17:21
Besides IMO it is the duty of your IDE to inform you what type it is returning (e.g. via hovering). Of course if you don't use an IDE, you took the burden upon yourself :) – abergmeier Dec 22 '12 at 11:44
_USER_ I agree with some parts of what you say. However, in the same spirit as the auto vs. explicit type declaration debate, I'd argue for a balance: uniform initializers rock pretty big time in template meta-programming situations where the type is usually pretty obvious anyway. It will avoid repeating your darn complicated -> decltype(....) for incantation e.g. for simple oneline function templates (made me weep). – sehe Dec 26 '12 at 23:50
_USER_ I thoroughly agree with your points, there is currently no agreed industry best practice for auto and uniform initialiasation, new language features are generally misused at first and the pain that causes is what informs best practice, Nicol Bolas' answer advocates a far too liberal approach to these new language features in my opinion. Good response highlighting real problems with using his approach. – radman Mar 8 '13 at 23:07
"But the syntax using braces doesn't work if type T is an aggregate:" Note that this is a reported defect in the standard, rather than intentional, expected behavior. – Nicol Bolas Mar 10 '13 at 0:40
add comment
If your constructors merely copy their parameters in the respective class variables in exactly the same order in which they are declared inside the class, then using uniform initialization can eventually be faster (but can also be absolutely identical) than calling the constructor.
Obviously, this doesn't change the fact that you must always declare the constructor.

How to Deal with Huge Log Files in Linux
If you've managed a Linux server for any length of time, you're familiar with the problem of log files. They can sometimes be difficult enough to even find in the first place, and then you're sometimes confronted with a file that's hundreds of MB in size (or even GB). Searching through it is a pain, and they can eventually even start eating up your storage space.
This tutorial will show you how to deal with this problem. We're going to make use of the inbuilt Linux package for system logs that's already in place. This means you don't need to install any new packages! All you need to know is how to add the configuration for your own log files.
Seeing How Linux Logs are Rotated with logrotate
There are a bunch of system log files in the following location:
In the screenshot below, I list all the files in that directory and show the file size in MB:
Log files with date stamp
As you can see, there are lots of large log files that are datestamped. These are generated by the "logrotate" by default. Looking at the timestamps, we can see that they're generated once every seven days. So for each log file here, logrotate does the following:
 1. Renames the log file with a timestamp
 2. Creates a new empty log file with the same name as before
Checking Logrotate's Default Configuration
Logrotate checks the following file for its configuration:
In this, we can see that it gets all the important information about:
 1. How often it should rotate the logs
 2. How many backups should it keep
 3. What kind of suffix it should add to the old logs
 4. Whether or not it should compress them
 5. etc…
Here's a screenshot of the logrotate configuration file:
Logrotate Default Configuration, Allow Compression
By default, the old log files are not compressed. You can change this by simply uncommenting the "compress" directive as shown above.
Adding Files to logrotate
How does logrotate know which logs to work on? The files in this directory:
For example, in our "secure" log that we saw in the first screenshot, we can figure out which file in logrotate.d contains it by using a simple grep command, as detailed in our guide on grep for advanced users:
grep -r secure /etc/logrotate.d
The screenshot below reveals which file is responsible for the "secure" log:
Configuration File in logrotate Directory
Opening "syslog", we can see that it tells logrotate to work on a number of files:
List of Log Files to Rotate
All of these are located in /var/log/. So each file contains:
 1. The names of the log files that it should rotate
 2. Directives specific to that particular file
 3. In the absence of directives, the defaults from logrotate.conf will be used
Creating your Own Logrotate File for your Logs
We can follow the template above to create an entry with logrotate that tells us it to process our own files in the same way.
Get the Owner and Group for your Directory
To make sure that all permissions are in place, we need logrotate to run with the appropriate permissions. Navigate to the directory that contains the log file(s) you want to process and get the owner as well as the group using this command:
ls -l -d
For example, the /var/log directory has the owner as" root", and the group as "root" as well:
Get Directory Owner and Group.
Create a Logrotate File with the Configuration
Next, create a new file in /etc/logrotate.d/ and paste the following sample configuration into it:
/var/log/newlogfile {
size 10M
su root root
Replace /var/log/newlogfile with the location of your own log file. Also, replace su root root with the owner and group name you got in the previous step. Here's a list of logrotate directives you can use. The "delaycompress" directive tells logrotate to only compress files that are 2 versions old, or older. This way you have quick and easy access to the most recently compressed log file.
You can also use the following lines within the curly brackets block to run scripts after and before your log files are rotated:
// scripts for post rotation go here
As you can see, Linux has a complete solution for log file rotation. All you need to do is add a few lines of code to the existing framework, and your own log files can be rotated without any hassles!
If you are one of our managed VPS hosting clients, you can simply ask our system administrators to deal with huge files on your Linux server. They are available 24/7 and will take care of your request immediately.

where does the word "vellish" come from?
I was totally stumped today when someone asked me why sefardi sksav is called vellish and where the word comes from, particularly since it sounds like an ashkenazic name.
 1. A few years ago, I sent this question to Dr. Marc Caplan, Tadetnick Professor of Yiddish studies at Johns Hopkins University.
 He did some research and wrote back that "Vellish" is from the German "wälsch," which means "Foreign."
 The original German word literally means "Welsh," and is the old German/anglo saxon word for the celts, to whom they collectively labled: Welsh.
 How Vellish is that?!
 2. I also did some research on this a while ago and came up with a similar answer: "Vellish" is from the old German word welsch meaning "Romanic" — which was originally a reference to the French and Italians.
 In Yiddish the word came to refer to Jews from Spain and Portugal, and in STAM the word came to refer to all Sfardi-style writing.
 3. Good question and even better answer. Tks!
 4. A response from someone I know who has a good yedia in these sort of things...
 "My guess - and I bet I am right - is that it originally meant "Italian," since "welsch" and "welschland" were archaic German names for Italian and Italy. So it was probably the form of the ksav which originated, or was felt to originate, in Italy. Don't be thrown off by the fact that it refers to the Sefardi ksav. First of all, until recently Sefardim were called "Frenks" in Yiddish, which is obviously derived from "French." For that matter, the Sefardim in Greece and Turkey used to call Italian Jewish merchants who lived among them "Francos."
 By that token, by "Welsch" was also meant many things. See here:
 where you can see that it is a term that meant many things in different parts of Europe. It is the origin of Wales, and from it is derived the Celts and also the Gauls (which refer to the French). Similarly, it also used to refer to "Southern Europe" in general, and not only Italy.
 To sum up: I think it meant Italian, but don't assume that it actually came from Italy. Most people who used it were only calling it what they already knew it was called."
 As you can see a similar response to what is mentioned here already.
 5. i saw last week in a sefer (i forgot which, it was written at least 100 years ago), that vellish is the name of the city that first started using those letters for their printing press

Variables - An Introduction into the 16 Orientations of Awakening
Audio Course
What Type is to the form principle, Variable is to awareness.
Includes Audio files and Image slides.
Endowment Discount Available
Mechanically, Variable is a combination of four imprints of a Rave Chart, the Design Sun/Earth; the Design North and South Nodes; the Personality North and South Nodes and the Personality Sun/Earth. Each imprint is synthesized based on its Tonal activation to differentiate the imprint through 'Leftness' or 'Rightness'. The resulting combination of these four elements is called a Variable. It is an awareness map that lays out the possibility for an awareness in this life.
There are 16 possible combinations that represent the 16 cognitive Families. Through the Variable Rave Property the four transformations that are the potential of all nine-centered beings is revealed.
To get a grasp about the importance of the meaning of the Variable, it can be compared with Type at another "octave". What Type is to the form principle, variable is to awareness. And Awareness is a physical practice of a mechanical process, just like Type is a mechanical principle to navigate correctly through life.
Please join Dr. Andrea Reikl-Wolf for a two part exploration into Variable.

My understanding that if you are addressing a bishop, the correct form is "Vladyko," while if you are referring to a bishop in the third person, the form is "Vladyka." Even if they sound the same in English, we should follow the spelling conventions. So the title of this article should be changed if the definition is to remain the same. --Fr Lev 05:42, September 19, 2014 (PDT)


How To Fix iPhone Slow Charging After iOS 13.3 Update
Dealing with slow charging problems on your iPhone after the recent iOS 13.3 update? If that's so, then this post might be able to help you out. Keep scrolling and get help.
New iPhones are expected to get fully charged in about an hour or so from the moment it's plugged into the charger. Nonetheless, there are several factors that can slow down the charging process and you will just realize that your iPhone is charging very slowly. Read on to find out why this happens and how to fix the problem on your end.
Why is an iPhone charging very slow
Many cases of charging problems are attributed to a defective charger, charging port or charging cable in use. But contrary to the common thoughts, most charging problems on an iPhone are due to software-related factors including erratic apps and corrupt charging system on the phone. And these can be triggered when a new update is installed and that update contains some bug.
There are also other cases wherein slow charging is directly inflicted by a damaged battery on the phone. This is usually transpiring on earlier devices due to wear and tear.
Troubleshooting iPhone charging very slow from an iOS update
Before troubleshooting, check both ends of your charging cable to ensure that there's no damage. Also check the charging port on your iPhone and make sure that nothing is clogged or stuck inside. Also make sure that you're charging from an outlet (main power source).
Charging from portable sources like a computer's USB port, power banks, and car chargers takes longer than when charging from the main outlet because the output current from portable chargers is lower than that from the main source.
If you have complied with all these charging requisites and yet your iPhone is still charging very slow after the update, try these methods to rule out software-related culprits.
First solution: Reboot your iPhone (force restart)
There may be some rogue apps that are left running on your iPhone and they are slowing down the charging process. Apps that remained open during the software update installation are usually the ones that ended up in this state. And this is when you need to quit these apps. To get that done, simply force restart your iPhone.
On an iPhone 8, 8 Plus and later models, a force restart is carried out through these steps:
 1. Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
 2. Then press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
 3. Finally, press and hold the Side/Power button until the Apple logo appears.
 4. Release the Side/Power button then.
On an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, follow these steps to force restart:
 1. Press and hold both the Volume Down button and Power button for a few seconds.
 2. Release both buttons when the Apple logo appears.
On an iPhone 6s, 6s Plus and iPhone SE, a force restart is done this way:
 1. Press and hold both the Power button and Home button for a few seconds.
 2. Then release both buttons when the Apple logo appears.
Performing a force restart is only applicable if your iPhone still has sufficient battery life to power up. It abruptly ends all running apps and services that have gone rogue from the recent update. The entire process does not affect any saved data on the internal memory, hence creating backups beforehand won't be necessary.
Second solution: Force restart while charging
Another effective solution you can try is doing a force restart while your iPhone is charging. This is applicable if your iPhone doesn't have sufficient battery life to finish the reboot sequence. The positive effect is similar to that of a mere force restart. So here's what you should do then:
 1. Plug your iPhone into its charger.
 2. Give it several minutes to recharge and then perform a force restart.
 3. Just refer to the above steps on how to force restart your iPhone.
Any corrupted background apps and services should be cleared out in the process and the adverse symptoms they have inflicted are likewise remedied.
Third solution: Update all your apps
This is another way to address post-update slow charging problem on an iPhone that's attributed to glitching third-party apps. Apps that are ended up acting up from an update are those that aren't up to date. This usually happens because they're no longer able to meet the minimum system requirements and thus couldn't get to run as expected.
If your iPhone still has enough power and has a stable internet access, follow these steps to check and install pending app updates via App Store:
 1. From the Home screen, tap App Store. Doing so will launch the app.
 2. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen then tap on Today.
 3. Tap on the User Profile icon, on the upper-right corner of the screen to load up your account details.
 4. Scroll down to the Available Updates section to view any pending app updates.
 5. Tap Update All to simultaneously install all pending app updates on your device.
When all apps are finished updating, reboot your iPhone to save and apply the recent software changes.
Fourth solution: Reset all settings
Settings that aren't properly configured such as unused network or location features that are constantly enabled on the phone are also among the possible culprits. Thus, they must also be eliminated. To do so, just reset all settings on your iPhone to clear out any misconfigured system settings and then restore the default system preferences.
You don't need to back up critical data on your iPhone because this reset doesn't delete any of them. Just follow these steps to proceed:
 1. From the Home screen, tap Settings.
 2. Select General.
 3. Scroll down to and tap Reset.
 4. Select the option to Reset all settings.
 5. Enter your passcode if prompted to continue.
 6. Then tap Reset all settings again to confirm that you want to reset your iPhone's system settings to defaults.
When the reset is finished, your phone reboots automatically and then restores the default system preferences. By then you can start re-enabling only the features that you need to use on your device.
Fifth solution: Erase your iPhone and restore its factory default settings
In some cases, slow charging issues may persist because the underlying cause is too complex that none of the initial procedures can rectify. To deal with these types of problems, performing advanced solutions like a factory reset is usually needed. Just be sure to back up all important files you saved on your iPhone storage to prevent losing them permanently.
Note that a factory reset deletes all your iPhone data and then restores the factory defaults. Any complex system errors including post-update iOS bugs that caused slow charging problem will also be eliminated.
A faster way to factory reset a responsive iPhone is through settings. And here's how it's done:
 1. From the Home screen, tap Settings.
 2. Select General.
 3. Scroll down to and then tap Reset.
 4. Tap the option to Erase all content and settings.
 5. If prompted, enter your passcode to proceed.
 6. Then tap the option to confirm that you want to erase and restore factory default settings.
An alternative way to factory reset is using iTunes or Finder app on the computer. This is usually needed if the iPhone is frozen or not responding.
Last resort: Restore your iPhone in iTunes
If all else failed to fix the problem, restoring the iPhone from a previous iOS backup can be considered among the last options. This is often needed if the problem is caused by a stubborn iOS bug that requires a dedicated fix patch.
If possible, back up all important files from your iPhone to your computer beforehand because they will all be wiped out when restoring.
Once you're all set, open up the Finder or iTunes app on your computer then connect your iPhone using the original USB or Lightning cable. When your device is connected, refer these steps to enter recovery mode.
On iPhone 8 or later model:
 - Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
 - Then press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
 - Finally, press and hold the Side/Power button until the Recovery Mode screen (Connect to iTunes) screen appears.
On iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:
 - Press and hold the Power/Top button and Volume Down buttons simultaneously.
 - Release both buttons when the Recovery Mode screen (Connect to iTunes) screen appears.
On iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, and iPhone SE:
 - Press and hold both the Home button and Power buttons for a few seconds.
After successfully entering recovery mode, select your iPhone by clicking on its icon that appears on the computer and then click Update or Restore when prompted.
To reinstall the software without erasing your iPhone data, select Update. Otherwise, click Restore to erase your iPhone data and restore from a previous iOS backup.
If your iPhone supports fast charging, try using an alternative fast charger that's compatible with your device and see if that speeds up charging.

As customer demands grow more exacting, businesses need to cater to their needs quickly. The continuous increase in customers and road traffic can hamper the smooth delivery of products and services.
Route planning apps like Roadwarrior enable businesses to take advantage of their software and eliminate their worries about slow and hassle deliveries. Smart route optimization apps can take the weight off your shoulder by giving you efficient solutions guaranteed to benefit your employees and customers.
Here are some reasons why you should invest in a route planning app for your business:
1.Decreases distance and fuel expenses
These apps can automatically and quickly calculate the routes that your delivery vehicles will take to decrease the distance that needs to be driven. Doing this will also lessen the fuel costs. Make sure to utilize a good route planning app that can assure you of this benefit.
In addition to that, your vehicles will have reduced carbon emissions since they use less fuel than others. The shorter the travel distance, the lower the fuel usage, and the lesser they will contribute to emitting carbon. Using route planning apps is also another way to be eco-friendly.
2.Saves travel time
Since the app can calculate the distances that the vehicle will travel, your employees can save time planning which routes they will take. This way, you're also protecting your employees, especially delivery drivers, from getting lost and overfatigue.
Most software has algorithms that compare different travel times depending on the mode of transport too. Instead of relying on your employee's stock knowledge about routes and stressing them about planning their delivery routes, you can just leave the job to route planning apps. With this, you can also expect more deliveries completed within the day.
3.Ensures customer and employee satisfaction
Route planning apps can give you estimates of how long you will travel. This can give your customers a heads up on which day or what time their orders will come so they can coordinate with you whenever they are not available to receive them.
For employees, you will be able to distribute the workload among the drivers appropriately. This will eliminate inequality in travel times and distances that might spur some problems between the employees and you. The planning apps can solve a lot of hassles related to the delivery of products or services.
4.It helps create stronger delivery strategies.
Route optimization software allows you to do simulations to help make better decisions regarding delivering your products or services. It is advantageous to operational planning and your overall delivery system by calculating the travel time and distance of various vehicles to determine the most efficient option and compare the best delivery times.
Route planners have prevailed due to GPS and the Internet. As a business, you must take advantage of these innovations to upgrade your company's services. Not only will these apps give your employees less hassle, but they can also ensure further customer satisfaction. The faster you can provide services and products to them, the more they will like and trust you.
