This study explored the relationship between academic achievement and personal well-being of a sample of 85 students (Male=72), (Female=13) studying at the prestigious universities (Pakistani international students) in China enrolled in the scholarship program. The sample comprised 10 undergraduate language diploma students, 44 Master's, and 10 Post-Graduate students. The students who were not in the People Republic of China during the epidemic was excluded from the survey. Due to the epidemic situation, the data collection was done through an online website as a survey method. The relationship between academic achievement the previous grade and expected grade point was self-administered by the respondents. Personal well-being and the demographic group differences including gender, age, educational level were assessed. In addition, the personal well-being index (PWI-A) for adults was used to analyze the personal-wellbeing of the student population. A positive correlation was identified between academic achievement (expected grade point) with subjective well-being (.913**) Whereas, there was no significant correlation between (previous grade) academic achievement and subjective well-being respectively. Testing Anova for the group differences, there were no significant differences between the demographic groups respectively. Keywords: Personal Well-Being, Academic Achievement, Pakistani International Students.

How long do cut tulips last?
Cut tulips last around 5 days. They will continue to open fully throughout their vase life. There are some tips you can try to help them last longer in a vase:
1. Keep your vase topped up with clean, cold water.
2. Keep your room temperature cool.
3. Keep your tulips out of direct sunlight.
How do you prepare tulips for vases?
To prepare your tulips for their vase, follow the simple steps below:
1. Unwrap your flowers and re-cut the stems using a pair of FLOWERBX Floral Scissors, about 2 - 3cm from the bottom at a 45° angle. This encourages water absorption and maximises vase life.
2. Remove excess foliage, the outer leaves and anything else that would sit below the waterline, as this will otherwise create debris build-up in your vase.
3. Next, fill your vase with lukewarm clean water, making sure to refresh it daily, or whenever the water turns murky. Top up with FLOWERBX Flower Food.
How long can cut tulips stay out of water?
Cut tulips cannot stay out of water for very long. Some other floral varieties will last a little longer than others without water, but tulips will not last more than a few hours at the most without water. To prolong life when not in a vase, you can wrap the stems in a wet cloth or paper towel, or attach water sources to the end of the stems.
How do you keep cut tulips from drooping?
To keep tulips from drooping, try some of the following tips!
- Choose young tulips that have closed flower heads.
- Keep your stems in water at all times.
- Always remove leaves below water level.
- Cut your tulip stems at a 45-degree angle to help with water absorption.
- Top up with fresh, cold water and flower food.
- Choose a tall and supportive vase style.
- Avoid heat sources, drafts, and extreme temperatures.
- Add a penny to your vase - the copper helps keep their stems straight!
What kind of vase do you use for tulips?
The best kind of vase to use for tulips is one that'll support them from their tallest stem length.
As a rule, your vase should be at least half as tall as your tulip stems. However, you may wish to switch to a shorter vase over time, as you cut your stems down. We would recommend our Royal Windsor Vase, Tall Wickstead Vase, or Wickstead Pot to perfectly showcase your flowers.
What is the most popular tulip colour?
The most popular tulip colour is red or pink. Specifically, the most popular tulip in this shade is the Angelique variety. It's not hard to see why, as it has soft pink flowers in a double tulip style, with an appearance very similar to a peony. You can shop our pink double tulip here
What do different colours of tulips mean
Different tulip colours hold their own meaning, which is particularly important when choosing a gift. All tulips symbolise pure and deep love, with the rarest colour of tulip being black tulips:
Red tulips mean love and romance.
Pink tulips symbolise friendship, care and good wishes.
White tulips show forgiveness and respect, highlighting innocence and purity.
Yellow tulips sybolise happiness, cheer, and brighter days ahead - due to their association with spring and Easter.
Purple tulips symbolise regality, royalty, and rebirth.
Do tulips open up in vase?
Yes! Tulips continue to open in thier vase, and there are ways you can trick tulips into blooming should you need them to look their best for a certain date. A common trick to get your flowers to open quicker is to cut the stems at a 45-degree angle, so that they can absorb the water in the vase faster. You can also prolong your tulips vase life by buying them when they are green and closed, allowing you to watch them open from bud over a longer time.

Is a feminist experiment in imagining and imagining the earth and its weather systems using DIY tools. Co-led by designer Sophie Dyer and geographer Sasha Engelmann, the collective produces artworks, workshops, and educational resources based on received weather satellite transmissions.
Out of these activities a transient network of participants has grown around the project, currently numbering more than 100 DIY Satellite Ground Station operators around the world, from Buenos Aires to Berlin. In the tradition of intersectional feminism, Open-weather investigates the politics of location and interlocking forms of oppression that shape our capacities to observe, negotiate, and respond to the climate crisis. In doing so, the collective challenges dominant representations of the Earth and environment while adding complexity to ideas around the weather beyond meteorology.

Montana Schools E-Learning Consortium
Senate Bill 170, signed into law by Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer on March 30, 2005, changed the instruction requirements for homeschool students. Prior law required the homeschool to provide at least 180 days of pupil instruction, or the equivalent in hours, as required for public schools. The new law eliminates the days of instruction requirement and substitutes the "minimum aggregate hours" established for public schools. The revised law requires 720 hours of instruction per year for grades 1–3 and 1,080 hours for grades 4–12. Graduating seniors are only required to complete 1,050 aggregate hours in their final year of high school. Only 360 aggregate hours of pupil instruction must be conducted for a kindergarten program. The school fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30.
Parents are still required to maintain attendance records under the revised law. They also should log the number of hours of instruction in order to document compliance with the new requirements.

Search: chef's hat
Why: On When Parents Text:
Answer: La toque blanche! Like a tuque, only not Canadian. And its origins are legendary. Theories:
- Head cooks in Assyrian households were allowed to wear high cloth headdresses patterned on the crowns of their royal masters. This encouraged valuable servants to remain faithful to their masters, who lived in constant fear of being poisoned.
- The ribs or pleats in the headdress represented the ribs in the king's crown and were stitched into the cloth and stiffened with starch.
- The pleats - there are 100 of them - represent the 100 ways that a good chef should be able to cook eggs.
- Today's toque blanche is a result of the gradual evolution of head coverings worn by cooks through the centuries.
French cooks of the 18th century generally wore the casque a meche or stocking cap, the colors of which varied according to rank. Mr. Boucher, chef to the French statesman Talleyrand (_PHONE_), is credited with introducing white as the standard color when he insisted for sanitary reasons that his cooks wear white caps. During this period, Spanish cooks wore berets of white wool or ticking; Germans wore pointed Napoleonic hats with a decorative tassel; the British wore starched Scotch caps and black skull caps sometimes referred to as librarians' caps. In addition to stocking caps, French pastry cooks wore a bank of linen or ticking with a central mound of the same fabric pleated on the edge. By the end of the 18th century, it was full, heavily starched and held in the middle with a circular whalebone, producing the effect of a halo. Under Napoleon III (_PHONE_), the Greek bonnet ornamented with a tassel was in vogue. Bald cooks purportedly wore caps in velour or heavy cloth while persons with hair wore them in linen or netting.
It's kind of gross that surgeons wear green and blue and chefs wear white, right? Shouldn't we all be washing our clothes of stains all the time, no matter how much food or blood is on them?
Source: Wikipedia, Chef Harvey
The More You Know: There are so, so many types of hats. I really don't like any of them, especially when they're purely ornamental. I hate hats, everyone.

I'm amazed to learn that the pottery of ancient Greece may help to improve the safety of space travel. The Israel Herald reports:
The study of the chemical and physical properties of ancient Attic pottery would help improve space missions, believe scientists.
Considering it importance, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded nearly 500,000 dollars to scientists from the Getty Conservation Institute, Stanford's National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) and the Aerospace Corporation earlier this year to study the secrets of Attic pottery.
Among other objectives, it is hoped that the project will improve our understanding of iron-spinel chemistry, which is critical to the advanced ceramics used for thermal protection in aerospace applications, such as protective tiles on the Mars Rover Sojourner, or the fleet of space shuttles, for example.
Attic pottery features red and black figures and was a fixture in ancient Greece from the sixth to fourth centuries B.C.Red-figure Attic pottery, circa 530 BC (image courtesy of Wikipedia)
The iron-spinel ceramic pigments found in Attic pottery are able to remain chemically stable at very high temperatures.
It's the degree of iron oxidation that provides the red and black coloring associating with Attic pottery.
There's more at the link.
I know that spinels are "resistant to chemical weathering and abrasion", but who came up with the idea that the use of iron-spinel compounds as a glaze in ancient pottery might be useful to or relevant for modern space technology? It blows my mind to think that the hand-made pottery of ancient Greece, well over two millennia old - long before anyone had even flown, never mind gone beyond our atmosphere into space! - might help to produce better heat-shield tiles to protect spacecraft against re-entry into atmosphere.
I'd never have made the connection. I wonder what inspired the National Science Foundation to do so? Some modern scientist must have had a brainwave...

5 benefits of storing your food in beeswax wraps
This Blog was written by Sarah from Primrose and Co
Bees wax wraps are a reusable alternative to plastic wrap. Change your habits for good by changing to reusable bees wraps for wrapping your food instead of single-use plastic! Then at the end of your bees wraps life, either compost it at home, use it as a natural fire starter or re-wax it using one of our DIY wax blocks to refresh it! The average family uses 24 rolls of plastic cling wrap per year. Unfortunately cling wrap isn't reusable and is rarely recycled.
5 benefits of storing your food in beeswax wraps:
1. Beeswax wraps last ages + save you money
The average cost of a kitchen three-pack of bees wraps is $25-$30.

5. Beeswax has antimicrobial properties
Like honey, beeswax has been shown to have antimicrobial properties that help keep things clean which is great when dealing with food. Beeswax also has antifungal properties preventing the growth of yeasts and other fungi.
With so many beneficial properties, beeswax is a healthy and harmless alternative to plastic for storing food in. Beeswax wraps use the natural power of beeswax to protect and store your food in a safe way as a plastic wrap alternative. Since beeswax is waterproof, it keeps unwanted moisture out of food while trapping the food's natural moisture in.

your own, you can easily do it with the help of a few tips and guidelines.
All you need are some essential tools, supplies, and a whole lot of patience.
Take a look at this short, useful guide on how to install a urinal on your own without any problem or inconvenience.
Step 1: Gather Essential Tools
First things first, you need to gather all the supplies that are required to hang or mount a urinal on a wall.
Some of the basic tools and accessories that you will need include:
 - Tape measure
 - Electric drill
 - Clean rag
 - PVC cement
 - Tape
 - Pencil
 - Level
 - Plywood
 - Drill bits
 - Drywall saw
 - Carpenter's level
Step 2: Fit the Mounting Board for Support
Once you have all the tools well in place, the next step is to fit a mounting board to the wall in order to provide support to the urinal.
For this, take a piece of weather-treated plywood and then adequately secure it on the wall studs with the help of some nails.
Step 3: Add a Water Line
At this point, you need to determine where the water supply will be located so that you can add the water line.
You can use a stencil here to mark the exact locations at a height of 24 inches. Drill pilot holes with the help of a drill machine.
The holes will be drilled where you'll be mounting the hanger screws.
Then, use the drywall saw to remove the required drywall in order to attach the wastewater line along with the water supply line in the marked location.
Place the pipes in the correct position in a way that they attach to the front of the faucet.
Try to make sure that you add a shut-off valve before placing the pipe in its desired position.
This will make it easy for you to turn off the water supply whenever you want.
Step 4: Attach the Urinal Wall Hangers
Urinal Wall Hangers
With the help of the supplied screws and nails, you should now mount the urinal wall hangers in their respective positions.
Use a carpenter's level to make sure that the hangers are mounted correctly at the same level.
You can adjust them as per your requirements.
Also, another important thing to do is to screw the wall hangers not only to the wall but also to the supporting wooden mounting board that you attached earlier in step 2.
Step 5: Install a Drain in the Urinal
Before hanging the urinal on the wall, fit the drain first into the urinal.
Add a layer of caulk to the ring of metal present at the bottom of the urinal by placing a strainer into the hole.
Press it down further till it is sealed tightly.
Additionally, add a combination of rubber and metal washers on the other side of the urinal, underneath the strainer, and secure it further with the help of a nut or two.
Step 6: Install Waste Outlet
With the help of PVC cement, connect the waste outlet to the waste pipe that you installed earlier.
Make sure that the outlet connection is exactly where it should be to prevent any problems later.
Step 7: Hang the Urinal
This is the final step for how to install a urinal. Carefully lift it and hold it above the wall hangers and align the position of the urinal according to that of the waste outlet.
Attach it in a way that the waste opening is located behind the urinal.
Place it well into the hangers and tighten the screws just enough to hold the urinal firmly against the wall.
Over-tightening will simply crack the porcelain surface of the urinal, so don't tighten the attachment screws too much.
How High Should a Urinal Be Mounted?
Man Installing A Urinal
For standard home use, installing a wall-mounted urinal should be done at a height of 24 inches, which is the average height for mounting a wall urinal.
The said 24 inches are basically measured from the floor all the way up to the rim of the urinal.
Although this is the standard height for a wall-urinal, it can still vary depending on where you live because different residential communities tend to have specific regulations and rules when it comes to urinals.
It is best to check the local codes of your building when installing a urinal in your bathroom or toilet.
Do Urinals Have Built-In Traps?
Yes, some models and types of urinals do come with built-in traps that play a very important role in the entire process.
For instance, a standard urinal has a pipe known as a "P-trap" where all the water is flushed into it by the urinal.
This P-trap is designed in a way that it forms a water seal to prevent the escape of sewer gases into the atmosphere.
Also, most water-free or waterless urinals feature a built-in 'EcoTrap,' which serves two main purposes.
Firstly, it allows a smooth, uninterrupted flow of urine to the bottom of the urinal until it reaches plumbing sewer connections.
Secondly, it also prevents the escape of sewer odors and stops them from affecting the indoor air quality of the restroom.
Are Urinals Hygienic?
Man Cleaning Urinals
The thing with urinals is that you must use them properly if you wish to ensure their good hygiene and cleanliness.
Additionally, you need to follow a proper cleaning routine if you have urinals in your home.
Try to make sure that the faucets, pipes, and other fittings are cleaned daily and sanitized regularly.
Additionally, you can also place disposable urinal mats on the floor in order to help dispel unpleasant odor from the air and keep it fresh.
However, on the other hand, waterless or water-free urinals that we discussed earlier are considered to be completely hygienic since they don't make use of any water.
No water means that the surface of these urinals is always dry and barely ever damp, which greatly prevents the growth of bacteria and mold. This ensures great hygiene and cleanliness at all times.
Final Word
Now that you've learned how to install a urinal, you can easily make the switch from traditional toilets to modern, waterless urinals that not only prevent water wastage, but also save a lot of your time, money, and efforts at the same time.

Gaps in the fossil record
From Iron Chariots Wiki
Revision as of 14:10, 11 September 2007 by Blue Lithium (Talk | contribs)
Jump to: navigation, search
The argument that there are gaps in the fossil record is used extremely commonly by apologists and is basically the same as saying that there are no transitional fossils. There are several large problems with this argument, however:
 1. When the The Origin of Species was first published the fossil record was very sparse and, thus, the amount of gaps it contained was very damning. However, as the years passed scientists found more and more fossils, thus decreasing the amount of gaps. Nowadays gaps do still exist, but in some places the gaps are very small and in some they're very large. It's not logical to state that the gaps that exist nowadays will never be filled.

Case Study
Ansys + Apollo Tyres
"Ansys Fluent software helped in analyzing the hydroplaning risk of passenger car tyres by calculating the lift force on the tyres."
— Sowntharya L, Scientist, Tyre Simulation / Apollo Tyres
Hydroplaning occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tires and the road surface, which leads to loss of contact that prevents the vehicle from responding to control inputs, such as steering, braking or accelerating. The tread design and dimensions play an important role in expulsion of water, thus reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Predicting the speed of onset of hydroplaning and the lift force experienced by the tire aids in optimizing the tread pattern.
Hydroplaning in tires is a safety criterion. Hence, there is a need to minimize the loss of contact by modifying the groove design while keeping the development cost low. Experimental testing is highly expensive and limited, which affects the validation of the simulation results. Also, hydroplaning and tire noise are conflicting phenomena, and they should be optimized with proper balance.
Engineering Solution
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis using Ansys Fluent simulated the water flow through the car tires. The developed simulation methodology predicted the lift force and hydroplaning speed.
The developed methodology helps in:
- Selecting the best tire pattern to minimize hydroplaning.
- Optimizing water flow channel in tires to delay the onset of hydroplaning.
- Increasing the wet grip potential of tires.

Another common way to represent graphs is to use incidence matrices. Let be an undirected graph. Suppose that are the vertices and are the edges of G. Then the incidence matrix with respect to this ordering of V and E is the matrix, where.
Example. Represent the graph shown in Figure below with an incidence matrix.
Solution: e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6
Incidence matrices can also be used to represent multiple edges and loops. Multiple edges are represented in the incidence matrix using columns with identical entries, since these edges are incident with the same pair of vertices. Loops are represented using a column with exactly one entry equal to 1, corresponding to the vertex that is incident with this loop.
Example. Represent the pseudograph shown in Figure below using an incidence matrix.
Solution: e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8

Does Saxo teach you how to pack the packer?
Type：News | Updatetime：2021-03-26 10:33:23
After the baler is purchased, how is the baling done when the baling is carried out, and what is the specific baling process? As a professional automatic baler manufacturer, I will take everyone to understand the baler packaging process. The packing process of the packing machine is composed of four links: feeding, tightening, cutting, and pasting.
During the belt feeding process, the belt feeding wheel rotates counterclockwise, and the friction between the toothed belt wheel and the packing belt is used to make the packing belt advance along the packing belt path until the end of the packing belt hits the micro switch of the stopper, So that the packing tape is stopped, and it is in the position to be packed.
In the process of tightening the strap, the right paw rises to press the end of the strap, and the feeding wheel rotates clockwise. The friction force is also used to make the strap withdraw along the rail frame. At this time, the blades in the rail are retracting from the strap. Under the action of pulling force, it is released, so that the packing belt is continuously withdrawn until it is close to the surface of the package, and the tensioning arm swings downwards to completely tighten the packing belt.
The next step is the cutting and ironing process. The left jaw rises and presses the two layers of packing belts. The isolation table exits and the ironing head follows up. The two ends of the packing belt are heated. This is when the pressure block rises and cuts the packing belt.
Then there is the pasting process. The ironing head exits the actual position, and the pressure block continues to rise, and the two layers are pressed together with the heated packing tape to complete the packing action.

Turbot, GreenlandAlaska (bottom longline caught)
Greenland Turbot are found in the northern regions of the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans. In the North Pacific, Greenland Turbot are mostly found in western Alaska, within the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI).
Greenland Turbot grow slowly, may live for more than 30 years, and reach sexual maturity between 5 and 10 years of age.
Greenland Turbot were heavily fished in the 1970's, but numbers have increased due to good management and abundance is currently at medium levels.
Bottom longlines are commonly used to catch Greenland Turbot, particularly in state waters, and likely cause little damage to the seafloor. Longlines do accidently catch seabirds and other fish, but there are several management measures in place to reduce this bycatch.

TAKE ACTION to demand a strong supermarket watchdog
12th October, 2011
Evidence of UK supermarkets' exploitation of overseas workers, including garment workers, flower workers and tea pickers has been uncovered over many years.
Supermarkets have used their buyer power to squeeze suppliers and drive down pay and working conditions around the world. This means the people that make the clothes and grow the food sold in UK supermarkets are often poorly paid, overworked, work in unsafe conditions and are discouraged from joining trade unions.
Following the failure of a 10 year old voluntary code, the Competition Commission recommended that the government should create an independent watchdog (now called the Groceries Code Adjudicator) to redress the balance of power and ensure that supermarkets stop bullying their suppliers. The watchdog will oversee and enforce the Code of Practice that governs the relationship between supermarkets and their suppliers, in order to stop unfair practices.
In the run-up to the 2010 general election, all the major political parties committed to creating a watchdog - testament to sustained campaigning by a broad coalition led by War on Want and others in the Tescopoly alliance. However, since the election the coalition government has dragged its feet as big supermarkets relentlessly lobbied them to prevent a watchdog being set up.
The government has published a draft Bill which lays out the powers this watchdog (called the Groceries Code Adjudicator) will have. The fight is now on to make sure the watchdog can really deal with the huge problems in the supermarkets' supply chains.
It is vital that we keep up the pressure on the government to create a watchdog with real teeth, as supermarkets will continue to lobby MPs and ministers to make it as weak and ineffective as possible.
Write to your MP now via War on Want's supermarket watchdog campaign. Remind them just how important a strong, independent and proactive watchdog is to suppliers in the UK and overseas. Demand the government introduces a supermarket watchdog with teeth.

Mom's Viral Photo Shows That Breast Milk Comes In Many Colors
While the milk that you pour over your cereal may always be bright white, breastmilk isn't quite so monochromatic. Depending on when it comes out, it can come in a variety of colors — not all of them are variations of white. This mom's full spectrum photo shows the many shades of breast milk because your "liquid gold" doesn't always look the same — and that's okay!
Nursing moms may not see enough of their milk to know what color it is, aside from that lovely bit that leaks out of the opposite side or comes out as spit-up post-feeding. But if you were to pump instead of just breastfeeding, you would see that milk from various stages of pumping, as well as times of day, affect the color of your milk. Diet, medication, and a number of other factors can influence the color of breast milk, according to Very Well Family, and there are a lot of different shades of "normal."
In order to raise awareness of what these colors can look like, a breastfeeding mom and the voice behind the popular Facebook and Instagram page, One Ounce at a Time, Elisabeth Anderson-Sierra, appropriately posted a photo of three bottles of her milk on July 4. These bottles all came from one pumping session, she told Cafe Mom, and were red, white, and blue respectively.
The red milk is often referred to as "strawberry milk," and as Anderson-Sierra explained it is tinted red by blood in the milk. As reported, the red tinge can come from a clog being dislodged and rupturing a blood vessel — as it was in Anderson-Sierra's case — a cracked nipple, or "rusty pipe syndrome," which is when ducts and milk supply cells grow and stretch after your baby is born. Anderson-Sierra told Romper that she "wanted to share that most likely, any color variation experienced is normal, though having blood in your milk (strawberry milk) is alarming, it is still safe to feed to your baby." However, moms may want to seek medical care to find out the source of the blood if they are concerned. She wrote:
If it is nipple damage, seek treatment options. If it's within the breast tissue, use gentle massage and a cold or warm compress depending on if you need to reduce swelling or get milk to release from ducts. Keep your milk ducts clear and empty! Blood can coagulate and cause additional clogs, leading to more serious problems.

Amy Barron Smolinski, MA, ALC, CLC Executive Director, Mom2Mom Global — a national nonprofit organization dedicated to support, education, and advocacy for breastfeeding military families — told Romper that pinkish or brownish tinged milk is not generally a concern, as long as it comes out of the breast that color:
The only time pink milk is a medical concern is if it comes out of the breast looking like "normal" — white, yellow, creamy, or thin bluish — and changes to a bright pink or magenta color over time after being expressed. Sometimes this is seen in bottles of expressed milk, sometimes the parents will notice the burp rags are stained with pink after baby has spit up on them. This can indicate the presence of Serratia marascens, an infectious bacteria that requires antibiotics.
The white milk shown in the photo is less surprising, and a bit of blood seems plausible for red milk, but where in the world does blue breast milk come from? Well, Anderson-Sierra has an answer for that too. She explained in her post that this blue milk is "foremilk" or the first milk to come out during a feeding session. It "can have a blue tint to it as it is lacking in the heavier fat content of hindmilk," which is the milk that comes at the end, according to her post. Additionally, she wrote that if you consume "...foods with dyes like Gatorade or colored frosting you may see the dyes affecting the color of your milk."
Smolinski told Romper that there is another possible explanation for "bluish" milk: higher water content. "[This] is common when the baby needs more hydration, such as hot weather, or desert conditions," she says. "It's usually thinner and watery." Smolinski added that "it's important for parents to realize that even though this milk has lower fat content than more yellowish or creamy milk, it is still very beneficial for the baby." Like Anderson-Sierra, Smolinski assured Romper that slightly colored milk is usually "completely within the spectrum of normal." But, if a parent has any concerns, she urges them to contact a trained lactation professional.
Along with the colors that Anderson-Sierra included in her post, Very Well Family reported that breast milk can be tinted white, yellow, clear, blue, green, pink, orange, brown, and black — wow, talk about variety. Not all of the colors of breastmilk are completely normal, though. For example, black breastmilk is the result of a particular antibiotic that should not be taken while breastfeeding, according to Very Well Family. But Anderson-Sierra is urging moms not to panic over milk that looks a little out of the ordinary. Don't throw it out just because of a little bit of red color. After all, "Breast milk is truly liquid gold and we work hard for it. A labor of love, blood, sweat, and tears."

What is a Bilateral Condition?
A bilateral condition is a disease or condition that affects both sides of the body. Examples of a bilateral condition include hip dysplasia or luxating patellas, where both hips or kneecaps are affected. Often, the condition starts with one side of the body and will later develop on the other side of the body.
How Bilateral Conditions Work
Bilateral conditions can be considered a pre-existing condition with many pet insurance plans and providers. For example, if your pet had hip dysplasia on the left side of their body before they were insured, it may be considered a pre-existing condition if they develop hip dysplasia on their right side, even though their right side was unaffected when they started the policy.
If your pet has any conditions prior to signing up for pet insurance, it's important that you look into whether they would be considered bilateral conditions and if your pet would be covered under the pet insurance plan you choose.
- Bilateral conditions are diseases and conditions that have a high rate of affecting both sides of the body.
- Some pet insurance plans will not cover bilateral conditions if the bilateral condition had already affected one side of the body before your pet was insured.

If I keep a plastic mineral-water bottle topped up with tap water and regularly drink directly from it, the neck smells vile after a couple of weeks. Why is this and why is it always exactly the same smell?
- Our mouths are home to around 700 types of bacteria. As well as harmful organisms, which can cause tooth decay, gum disease and permanent bad breath, there are "good" bacteria, which promote oral health by stopping the harmful ones proliferating.
When you drink directly from a bottle, you leave some of your oral bacteria and saliva on its neck. The saliva contains food debris and dead cells on which oral bacteria can thrive. If you don't wash the neck after you have drunk from the bottle, the bacteria left on the plastic will break down nutrients in the debris and release the unpleasant stale smell your correspondent noticed. The smell...

Definition and meaning of the idiom "foot the bill"
What does the idiom "foot the bill" mean? How can I use the idiom "foot the bill in a full sentence?"
You may even encounter a native speaker using the idiom "to foot the bill." This saying, counter-intuitively, has nothing to do with feet. By saying this, the speaker is stating that they will pay the bill.
For example, "William often dines with us, but he never foots the bill" which simply means, he never pays.
Moreover, the person who foots the bill only means he/ she pays the entire bill. The idiom is most often used with dining but can be applied to anything.
Examples of the idiom foot the bill
- Riley footed the bill as he had gotten a raise.
- Fran always has an excuse when it comes time to foot the bill.
- His father footed the bill for his college education.
- The company foots the bill for all business lunches.

text: The requirements for the sustainability and performance of concretes are continuously increasing. Both properties can be improved through optimisation of the concrete mixing process. The following article demonstrates that the application of Power Ultrasound (PUS) during the mixing of the concrete – the Sonocrete technology described here – brings about significant increases in the flowabilities and early compressive strengths for a practically relevant concrete recipe. It was thereby possible to save at least 30% superplasticiser, to use a cement of a lower strength class with the same or better strength development or alternatively to shorten or completely replace the heat treatment. Further investigations into durability show that the carbonation behaviour and freeze/thaw resistance are not negatively affected by an ultrasound-assisted mixing process.

My Great Grandmother, Elmer Effie (Simpson) Tolley born about 1878 in Crittenden co ky to James Huey Simpson and Sarah Catherine (Greer) Simpson. We dont know why or how or where the Elmer came from and by the time it was questioned of us now in the search ancestors we still dont know how she came to be named ELMER. A lady she called Grandma NUNN and worked for on the lady's property who had large land holdings told her Elmer was a man's name and renamed her Elma. Elma later in 1902 marred Robert H Tolley who was clearing the lady Nunns forest. I have found no Elmer's in the family and the only family line I cant find is James Huey Simpson's mother was Louisa Lyzenby daughter of Orpha Marvel and Charles Lyzenby b. 1801 in Livingston co Ky. The Marvel's are traced and Louisa said to be part indian so I guess the Elmer came from either the maternal or paternal side of Charles Lyzenby. Sincerely Denise of Madison co Ill.
Robert Tolley family left Ky went via Tn to Kansas where my gpa was born then by 1920 they were in madison co ill.

Brewer's rice is a term applied to rice, usually short-grain varieties, that has been damaged in the milling process. This makes it aesthetically less desirable for use as food, but does not otherwise affect its chemical properties. As a result, these damaged rice grains are often sold to brewers for use as a brewery adjunct.

Are you in search of affordable appliances or looking to sell excess inventory?
Appliance liquidation sales present a fantastic opportunity for both buyers and sellers to engage in the thriving market of discounted appliances. Understanding the ins and outs of appliance liquidation is essential whether you're a savvy consumer looking for affordable solutions or a reseller aiming to maximize profits. This in-depth guide will examine the appliance liquidation process, offer professional advice on locating and assessing liquidation appliances nearby, cover various forms of liquidation, and address frequently asked issues.
Understanding the Process of Appliance Liquidation
Using a B2B recommerce platform like B-Stock, resellers have access to a vast network of enterprise retailers and manufacturers. These platforms play a crucial role in connecting retailers with excess or discontinued inventory to resellers who can effectively manage and sell these products. Let's dive into the appliance liquidation process, focusing on the "Big 5" of the industry: washers, dryers, refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, and ovens/stoves/cooktops.
Collaboration between retailers and recommerce platforms
When retailers face situations such as overstock, store closures, or seasonal inventory turnover, they collaborate with recommerce platforms to efficiently handle the liquidation process. B2B recommerce platforms like B-Stock act as intermediaries, managing the logistics of the liquidation sales. These platforms provide a centralized marketplace where retailers can list their excess inventory for auction or direct purchase by qualified buyers with resale businesses.
The process of appliance liquidation often involves auction-based platforms. Resellers, registered on the platform, have the opportunity to bid on bulk quantities of appliances. The auction mechanism allows resellers to determine the value of inventory and what they're willing to pay for it. Resellers make important decisions about bid strategy, market knowledge, and estimations of possible resale value during the auction process.
Types of Appliance Liquidation
Appliance liquidation encompasses various types, each presenting unique characteristics and opportunities for buyers. Understanding these different types can help resellers navigate the market more effectively and capitalize on specific niches. Let's explore some common types of appliance liquidation:
Store closure liquidation
Store closure liquidation occurs when a retail store or chain shuts down its operations. To recover a portion of their investment under such circumstances, retailers frequently dispose of their inventory, in which a wide range of equipment usually becomes available at discounted prices. Store closure liquidation sales are excellent opportunities for resellers to acquire a diverse inventory of appliances from various brands.
Overstock liquidation arises when retailers have surplus inventory due to overestimating demand or changes in consumer preferences. Liquidating overstock appliances allows retailers to clear their storage space and free up capital. For resellers, this type of liquidation presents an opportunity to obtain brand-new appliances that have never been used or opened at discounted rates. Overstock liquidation sales often feature appliances in pristine condition, making them highly desirable for buyers.
Seasonal inventory liquidation occurs at the end of a particular season or holiday when retailers need to make room for upcoming products while recovering some of their investment. For example, at the end of the summer season, retailers might liquidate air conditioners, fans, and outdoor grills. By buying seasonal appliances at lower prices, resellers can potentially sell them at higher profits later. However, this approach requires them to have ample storage space to strategically hold onto this inventory.
Returned and refurbished
Another type of appliance liquidation is returned and refurbished liquidation. In this case, shops get appliances that customers have returned for a variety of reasons, like minor cosmetic damage, functional problems, or just a change of heart. After being examined, fixed, and reconditioned, these returned appliances are put back in working order. This product type adds an extra layer of reassurance for discerning buyers. Fun fact: Scratch and dent inventory is historically easy to sell and allows you to move inventory quickly. Something to think about: 80% of appliance purchases are replacement purchases. This means shoppers are looking for a unit to bring home fast, usually in the next 24-48 hours.
Retailers could be left with inventory that they need to liquidate when manufacturers decide to stop making a specific model. Appliances that would otherwise become obsolete can be purchased at steep discounts during discontinued and end-of-line liquidation deals. These appliances are frequently completely new and unused, but because older models are being phased out, they are now more reasonably priced.
Overall, bulk liquidation involves the sale of large quantities of appliances in a single transaction. When retailers or manufacturers have excess inventory or need to quickly clear out a substantial amount of appliances, they can sell it to traditional liquidators or B2B recommerce platforms.
Tips for Buying Liquidation Appliances
Evaluating inventory condition
As a reseller, it is essential to thoroughly evaluate the condition of the liquidated appliances before placing a bid or making a purchase. B2B recommerce platforms provide detailed product descriptions, condition reports, and often include photos to help resellers make informed decisions. Carefully reviewing this information allows resellers to assess the quality of the appliances and determine their resale potential.
Conducting market research
To maximize profitability, resellers should conduct comprehensive market research. This involves analyzing consumer demand, identifying popular appliance models, and understanding market trends. By staying informed about current market conditions, resellers can make strategic decisions regarding which liquidated appliances to bid on and which ones are likely to yield higher returns.
Calculating shipping and logistics costs
There are unique shipping and logistics costs associated with buying liquidated appliances. Resellers should factor in these costs to determine the overall profitability of their purchases. Accurate cost calculations help resellers set appropriate pricing and ensure they can still generate a profit after accounting for these shipping expenses.
Considering brand reputation and warranty coverage
Brand reputation plays a significant role in the resale value of liquidated appliances. By considering brand reputation and warranty coverage, resellers can strategically decide on inventory their customers will find most appealing. Appliances that still carry the original manufacturer's warranty can add value to potential buyers.
Finding Liquidation Appliances Near You
If you're interested in buying or selling appliances, here are some additional tips to consider:
Online liquidation platforms
In addition to B-Stock, there are several reputable B2B recommerce platforms that specialize in appliance liquidation. These platforms provide a large variety of manufacturers and retailers, guaranteeing a varied assortment of merchandise. Find the platform that best meets your company's demands by doing some research and comparing several options. To aid in your decision-making, look for marketplaces that offer transparent information about their sellers, product descriptions, and condition reports. You may also consider platforms that provide access to exclusive sales, early notifications, and additional support.
Create an auction strategy
Understanding market trends and demand is crucial when participating in liquidation auctions. Research popular appliance models, examine historical pricing information, and keep up with business news. You may use this information to set goals, create a budget, and strategically bid to acquire the greatest bargains. Consider setting bidding limits to ensure you don't overspend.

Drone Image Fails to Upload Due to Large File Size
When trying to upload an aerial image taken with a drone, you may encounter the error shown in the following screenshot:
Reduce Image Resolution
Normally, this error message is shown if the size of the file you're trying to upload is too large for our system to use. Many drones take photographs in 4K or even 8K resolution, but if you are able to change this setting, saving the image at 1080p resolution will often reduce the file size enough to allow you to upload the photo, while still retaining more than enough image quality to sketch the roof accurately.
Crop Image to Reduce File Size
Another possible solution to this problem is to open the image file in an image editing software that allows you to crop photos, and crop out any unnecessary areas of the image, such as neighbors' houses or land that doesn't include outbuildings. By cropping the photo, you'll also be reducing the file size.


Blackjack TU160
Bomber Tupolev TU160 started at 9:00 from the airport and flew at average speed of 1850 km/h toward the airfield B distant 3500 km. After evaluating the danger from the airport B started at 9:45 B towards A fighter MIG 29 at an average speed 2300 km/h. At what time and at what distance from the airport A this two aircrafts meet?
t = 10:16 h Wrong answer
s = 2329.2169 km
Step-by-step explanation:
3500 = 1850(t-9) + 2300(t-(9+45/60))

Phosphoric acid in gel form is known as naval jelly, and the product has a variety of applications. Always use caution when working with naval jelly, as it is highly corrosive and caustic; use only in a well-ventilated area.
Other People Are Reading
Naval jelly is most commonly used to remove rust from iron or steel objects. Even very old, thick rust deposits can be removed with sanding or scraping, according to product websites. Naval jelly works simply by a generous application to the rust stain followed by a water rinse; if any rust remains, the procedure can be repeated, or light-gauge steel wool can be used.
Not only can naval jelly remove rust from iron and steel, but the gel can prevent the rust from forming. A thin amount should be spread over the surface of the at-risk steel or iron object and then rinsed. This process is most effective if repeated routinely.
Naval jelly can also be used to thoroughly clean iron or steel before applying paint as well as a paint preparation treatment for galvanised surfaces. The naval jelly should be applied with a paint brush or roller and left to treat the surface for up to 20 minutes. This completely cleans the surface of any rust. Since naval jelly is corrosive, if it is left on for a day or longer before it is removed, it will slightly etch the surface, creating a rougher texture that will more easily accept paint.

 3. 设定分析技术，只能在某台电脑上运行 Restricting access to a PC
本文描述如何实现让您的分析技术只能在某一太电脑上运行。 This page describes how to restrict studies so that they can only be run on a particular PC. To restrict your code fully you need to add this functionality and then see the Protecting EasyLanguage Code page.
Using the CustomerID allows you to restrict access to one account. However, that account holder can still use the code on multiple computers. The Network ID allows you to restrict access to EL code to a specific computer.
The first thing to do is get the Network ID from the person you will be sending the strategy/indicator to. The Network ID is found from the main 'Help' menu, under 'About TradeStation x.x'…
Access to the Network ID is not available directly from EasyLanguage. But here is a DLL that will return the Network ID to an EasyLanguage program.
This DLL can be placed in your computer's equivalent to this subdirectory: \WINDOWS\system32\. If preferred, it can also be placed into your \TradeStation (Build WXYZ)\Program\ subdirectory.
The DLL function ELNETWORKID can be called using EasyLanguage code like the following:
external: "ELNetwork.dll", int, "ELNETWORKID", IEasyLanguageObject ;
 MyNetworkID( 678910 ) ;
if CurrentBar = 1 then
 MyNetworkID = ELNetworkID( self ) ;
Plot1( MyNetworkID, "NetworkID" ) ;
Note that you put the Network ID in a variable (not an input) and you put the begin…end loop around your entire code (except the Inputs: and Variables: declarations).
The following code is not needed for EasyLanguage. It is the C++ code for the above DLL in case you're interested:
_TAG_ "C:\Program Files\TradeStation 8.1 (Build 3159)\Program\tskit.dll" no_namespace
BOOL __stdcall DllMain(HANDLE hModule,
 DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
 LPVOID lpReserved

Emerging technology: Agitation in dry material feeding
Keeping dry materials flowing from metering devices into processing systems has long been a problem. Dry materials tend to be sticky, to bridge over the metering screw, or to pack in the hopper. This can cause discrepancies in feeding accuracy, consistency, and uniformity.
To feed dry materials accurately from a screw feeder, you must ensure two things. First, the screw flights must be completely filled with material of uniform density. This means that the material cannot compact or segregate. Material compaction and segregation will cause some flights to be filled with a denser material and others to be filled with a lighter material, which creates an erratic feed rate.


Can Cats Eat Oysters? - Cat Kingpin
Can Cats Eat Oysters
Can Cats Eat Oysters?
My wife hates them, but I enjoy the occasional raw oyster. However, I have to admit that I don't know if it's actually the oysters I like, or if they are merely a vehicle for the lemon juice and cocktail sauce.
If you happen to be slurping down some oysters while your cat's around, you might be wondering if it would be okay to let them have a bite. As we will see, cooked oysters are okay as an occasional treat, but it's probably better not to give cats raw oysters.
In this article, we'll cover the following:
 - Cats and Oysters, What You Need to Know
 - Can Cats Eat Oysters?
 - Can Kittens Eat Oysters?
 - Benefits/Drawbacks to Cats Eating Oysters
 - Healthy Alternatives to Oysters for Cats
Cats and Oysters, What You Need to Know
Oysters are salt-water, hard-shelled creatures that are consumed as a delicacy by people around the world. Being a mollusk, oysters are part of a large group of invertebrate animals that includes snails, slugs, clams, octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish.
As you might imagine, cats in the wild would rarely come into contact with an oysters. However, as the following video shows, some cats do enjoy oysters given to them by their human companions:
Since cats are meat-eaters, it's not surprising to see one eating oysters. In fact, being obligate carnivores, meat is the only food cats really need to eat and they derive little to no nutrition from plants and vegetables.
But, are oysters a good source of meat for cats? Would they like them?
From a nutritional standpoint, oysters aren't a bad food. One hundred grams of raw oysters contains about 68 Calories, 7 grams of protein, and significant amounts of vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, copper, and selenium.
Can Cats Eat Oysters?
While cooked oysters are generally okay to give cats, raw oysters carry some risk of sickness from bacteria and parasites.
It's unlikely your cat would get sick from eating raw oysters, but why take chances with their health? Instead, just stick with providing them with the occasional cooked oysters as a treat.
Can Kittens Eat Oysters?
Because of their immature immune and digestive systems, kittens are susceptible to illness. Bacteria and parasites that could be in raw oysters are even more likely to make a kitten sick than an adult cat.
Make sure any oysters you feed your kitten are cooked first, and don't contain any additives like salt, spices, or horseradish. Even then, it should be given only as on occasional treat and in small quantities.
High-quality, grain-free kitten food has all the nutrients a growing kitten needs. So, it's best to stick with something like Wellness kitten food or else Taste of the Wild kitten food.
Benefits and Drawbacks to Cats Eating Oysters
As we have learned, cooked oysters can provide protein that is required in your cat's diet. However, raw oysters can be contaminated with a bacterium known as Vibrio, which has been identified as a source of human illness.
Vibrio usually only affects people with compromised immune systems. Most commonly associated with eating raw oysters, the bacteria normally causes gastrointestinal symptoms, but in serious cases has resulted in the loss of limbs and even death.
While cats are not known to be affected by Vibrio, it's best to be safe and only give your cat cooked oysters.
Additionally, oysters can contain high levels of the metal cadmium. Cats are particularly sensitive to some types of heavy metal poisoning, so it's best to limit the amount of oysters you give to your cat.
Perhaps most importantly, oysters are a known source of food allergy in humans and might also be for cats. Food allergies are the third most common type of feline allergy, surpassed by only flea bite allergies and sensitivity to inhaled substances.
In cats, food allergies usually manifest themselves as skin reactions. Symptoms of food allergies in cats can include:
 - Sneezing, snoring, coughing, and wheezing
 - Itchy skin, scratching, and chewing
 - Ear infections
 - Runny eyes
 - Vomiting
 - Diarrhea
 - Swollen paws
 - Possible farting
If you do decide to give your cat oysters, make sure you stay alert for any of the above symptoms.
Healthy Alternatives to Oysters
Adult cats are fine to have a little bit of cooked oysters from time to time. But, with all of the great options out there, why not try a seafood-themed cat food? There are also seafood cat treats that can satisfy your cat's craving for oysters.
There's no rush to feed oysters to your cat, however. They don't need it to survive, so any high-quality, meat-based cat food will be great for them, such as Wellness or Taste of the Wild cat foods.
So, can cats eat oysters?
Well, now we know that cats can eat oysters. We also learned you should never feed raw oysters to your cat or kitten because of the bacteria and parasites that might make your cat sick if present.
Most importantly, we saw that there are many safe and healthy seafood cat foods and treats that are great alternatives for your kitty.
If you have any questions or would like to share a story about your cat and oysters, please tell us in the comments below. We'd love to hear from you!

Nine-Week Shift
Emily Walker, Co-Editor-In-Chief
For years, schools in our district have used a six-week grading period. However, FISD has decided to shift secondary schools into a nine-week schedule in hopes to better students' education experience starting in the 2019-2020 school year.
There are a few changes that will happen to the school year. Each school year will have two nine-weeks per semester, with a total of four grading periods for the year. Another change is that IPR (Interim Progress Reports) will still come out every three weeks but now there will be two every grading period before the final grade.
This change in schedule will have no effect on school day length, holidays, or STAAR/other state and national testing.
FISD has stated the reason for this change is to allow students more time to learn the material before they are tested. This will also allow more time and flexibility for teachers to teach lessons and input grades.
Overall, this change is meant to benefit students and create a smoother learning environment.

- You can find a lost Android device by using Google's Find My Device service from its app or a browser.
- On the Find My Device app or website, you can see the phone's location on a map, play a sound to locate it, or remotely erase the phone and reset it to factory conditions.
- Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories.
Losing your phone can be a catastrophe, which is why both Apple and Google provide similar tools for tracking, finding, and even remotely erasing a lost phone. If you have an iPhone, read our article on tracking its location. Google's Find My Device works pretty much the same way for Android phones. Here's how to use it to locate your misplaced or lost Android.
How to find your Android by using Find My Device
You can find your Android device using the Find My Device website or via Google's Find My Device app (installed from the Google Play store) on a different Android device that's logged into the same Google account.
One word of caution: If you log into your Google account on a public computer or someone else's PC to find your phone, remember to use a browser in private or incognito mode and log out when you are done.
1. Start the app or go to Google Find My Device in a web browser.
2. If you have one device, Find My Device should immediately zero in on that device (or to its last known location when it was last powered on and connected to the internet). If you have multiple devices, you can select the one you're looking for using the device icons at the top of the page.
3. In addition to seeing the phone on the map, you have three options:
- Select "Play Sound" to remotely command the phone to play a ringtone sound. If the phone is turned on and connected to the internet, it will play the sound regardless of the phone's volume settings.
- Select "Secure Device" to prevent someone from accessing your phone's data. You can also display a message or phone number on the lock screen to help retrieve the device.
- Select "Erase Device" if the phone has been lost or stolen and you don't expect to get it back. This will wipe the phone and reset it to factory conditions.
How to make sure Find My Device is enabled on Android
Even if you don't recall turning on Google's Find My Device service, the good news is that it's probably already on – Google turns it on by default when you connect an Android phone to a Google account, so it should already be running from when you first set up your phone. If you have access to your phone, here's how to verify it's enabled:
1. Start the Settings app.
2. Tap "Google."
3. On Google's settings page, tap "Security."
4. Tap "Find My Device."
5. On the Find My Device page, make sure the feature is turned – the button should be swiped to the right.

In the wiki it is article only about shear modulus and it is written that it's unit is Pascal. At the same time in all researches about Red Blood Cells shear stresses, authors write "in-plane shear stress" and measure it in N/m. For instance, here - _URL_ I can't understand why - perhaps it is a difference between in-plane shear modulus and shear modulus. Or it is because membrane is a surface in 3D, not the whole body. Any ideas?

When we talk about shear stress and shear modulus we're normally considering the deformation of a 3D body. However the article you cite is not talking about deformation of a 3D body but instead it's treating the surface of the erythrocyte as a 2D object. That means they use a surface stress which is probably better known as surface tension. This is similar to the way you calculate the deformation of soap films.
Surface tension (and therefore surface stress) is a force per unit length so it's units are N/m, and therefore the surface shear stress has the same units of N/m.

Remove the black line surrounding text in opencv
asked 2019-06-06 09:08:05 -0500
I am trying to remove the black lines surrounding the text if present any. My purpose is to just have enough portion of the image to extract each character in it. The additional black lines are noise when i am trying to extract characters.
I have tried using floodfill in opencv but the image contains some white pixels before the black line starts in the upper left corner. So it hasn't been fruitful. I tried cropping by means of finding contours but even that does not work. This is the original image
Original Image
import cv2
import numpy as np
img = cv2.imread('./Cropped/22.jpg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_,thresh = cv2.threshold(gray,1,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
contours,hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cnt = contours[0]
crop = img[y:y+h,x:x+w]
cv2.imshow('Cropped Image',crop)
and using floodfill
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
 # threshold the gray image to binarize, and negate it
 gray = cv2.bitwise_not(gray)
 bw = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(gray, 255, cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C, \
 cv2.THRESH_BINARY, 15, -2)
 # find external contours of all shapes
 contours,h = cv2.findContours(bw, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
 # create a mask for floodfill function, see documentation
 h,w,_ = img.shape
 mask = np.zeros((h+2,w+2), np.uint8)
 # determine which contour belongs to a square or rectangle
 for cnt in contours:
 poly = cv2.approxPolyDP(cnt, 0.02*cv2.arcLength(cnt,True),True)
 if len(poly) == 4:
 # if the contour has 4 vertices then floodfill that contour with black color
 cnt = np.vstack(cnt).squeeze()
 _,binary,_,_ = cv2.floodFill(bw, mask, tuple(cnt[0]), 0)
 # convert image back to original color
 binary = cv2.bitwise_not(binary)
 cv2.imshow('Image', binary)
results in the two cases are as follows
Using Find Contours method
But there appears to be no change. And this using floodfill
Using floodfill. which does not remove any borders.
If any can please help out,it will be really great.

OpenCV's contours will work if you filter the contours by aspect ratio. In the image below the 2nd from the left is thresholded at about 150 using binaryInverse type thresholding. There is a function called boundingRect that will give the upright rect of a contour. Define the contour aspect ratio as rect.width / rect.height and only keep contours with AR < 1 since numbers are tall. This gives the 3rd image from the left. The last is just inverted.

The Weath-A-Stic is a new product for controling mist in plant propagation using mist. It automatically keeps the correct amount of mist on cuttings producing optimal plant growth and reducing rot. The device uses 5 different sensors to predict when mist is needed and calls for a 5 second mist. No timers are needed and the surrounding humidity, temperature, light and wind speed determines the moisture evaporation from the plants and when to call for more mist.
