Does Huckleberry Have A Prayer?
In Mark Twainâ€™s Huckleberry Finn, the concepts of prayer, religion, and spirituality are introduced early on in the novel, and their influence on Huckâ€™s character and their role in the overall story is evident regardless of the theory of criticism that is employed for interpretation. A New Critic scours the text for conflicts, symbols, and resolutions while examining word choice in an effort to determine the literal meaning (Bressler 45-48). A Reader-Response Critic, particularly a subjective critic who advocates the readerâ€™s worldview over the text, reads the text and then relies on her own past experiences to give it meaning (Bressler 67). When these practices are employed, the Reader-Response Critic and the New Critic find that prayer and religion are essential components in the development of Huckâ€™s character as well as the perception of it.
Huck first mentions prayer when describing dinner at the Widow Douglasâ€™s home. He explains that â€œyou couldnâ€™t go right to eatingâ€ because you had to wait until a prayer was â€œgrumbledâ€ (Twain 33). From the beginning, there is conflict involving prayer because it impedes on Huckâ€™s desire to eat his dinner right away, and this gives Huck a reason to dislike the practice of praying. Huck never details exactly what the prayer states; he only refers to its â€œgrumblingâ€ sound, implying that he regards it as nothing more than discontented muttering. As a Sunday School teacher at a church, I have spent a lot of time with children who were just becoming familiar with praying. In the beginning, they often view it as a chore that is simply something that has to be done before a meal. However, unlike most chores, I have rarely seen a child dislike it, probably because they are in a clerical setting and have been told prayer pleases God. Huck, however, seems to be indifferent to praying and God, and I believe this is because he has not accepted them to be superior concepts like the children at my church have.
Huckâ€™s disinterest in religion is again evident when the Widow Douglas tries to teach him about Moses and the Bulrushers. Though he was â€œin a sweat to find out all about himâ€ (Twain 33), Huck loses interest as soon as he realizes Moses has been dead for a long time. Huck is concerned with the here and now, something that he can relate to, and because Moses lived eons before he did, Huck feels there is nothing to learn from him, as â€œhe takes no stock in dead peopleâ€ (Twain 33). A few children in my Sunday School class have the same attitude, but most of them appreciate the Bible and wish to learn its stories, even if they are thousands of years old. Their interest is again accounted for by their acceptance of God and their desire to know more about Him. Huck, however, has not accepted God and thus has no reason to mull over Him.
When Miss Watson tells Huck about heaven and hell, Huckâ€™s reaction indicates that he does not comprehend God or the significance of His presence, which is what Miss Watson is so desperately trying to stress. Upon hearing about â€œthe bad placeâ€ (Twain 33), Huck declares that he would like to go there, justifying his claim by expressing his desire to go somewhere else. This shows that while Huck may be oblivious to God and His legacy, he is not oblivious to the world around him or his own desires. He wants adventure, specifically adventure away from Miss Watson. When she tells him that she is going to heaven, Huck sees â€œno advantage in going where she is goingâ€ (Twain 33), and Huck resolves that â€œhe wouldnâ€™t try for itâ€ (Twain 33). His aspiration for adventure is again evident when Miss Watson offers a bland description of heaven by telling that life there is simple and consists of nothing more than singing and playing a harp â€œall day long forever and everâ€ (Twain 33). Huck is not impressed at all by this, a strong indicator that he wishes his life to be multifaceted and spontaneous rather than simple and predictable. The prospect of heaven presents two conflicts, the first is being with Miss Watson and the second is facing an eternal unadventurous existence. Huck resolves these conflicts by deciding he will go to â€œthe bad placeâ€ and enjoying the fact that Tom Sawyer will be there with him. As a Sunday School teacher, I have never had a child tell me that he or she wanted to go to hell, and I believe Huckâ€™s decision is based solely on Miss Watsonâ€™s inability to put across the notions of heaven and God. She condescendingly tells Huck about heaven, pompously bragging that she will be going there, while failing to realize that Huck is simply not grasping the true significance of either the good place or the bad place. She is overlooking Huckâ€™s desires and his belief in his own purpose, which is essential in fostering a relationship with God.
In the third chapter, Huck assumes an active role in prayer. For the first time, Huck tells of his own experiences praying, a practice Miss Watson encourages. â€œShe told me to pray everyday, and whatever I asked for I would getâ€ (Twain 39), Huck relays, but he finds that when he asks for material items, he does not always get them. When he asks Miss Watson to pray for the things he is praying for, she tells him he is a fool but refuses to offer an explanation why, and Huck is unable to figure it out on his own. Prayer again presents Huck with conflict, as it fails to help him obtain the things he wants, something he believes it is guaranteed to do. He also again finds conflict with Miss Watson, who condemns Huck for believing she should pray for materialistic things without offering any reason for her disapproval. This time, however, he gives prayer a second thought, as he takes time to think about it. He ponders why people are unable to improve their situations through prayer, a sign that he has accepted a concept of prayer, albeit a distorted one. Though a resolution is not fully reached at this point, it is evident that progress is being made, as Huck is becoming more open to the prospect of prayer. When I talk to children about praying, I assure them that they can pray for whatever they want while stressing that God will answer as He sees appropriate. Miss Watson fails to explain the relationship between God and prayer, something that Huck is unable to comprehend on his own. I feel Miss Watson segregates Huck and God, as she continues to fall short of truly explaining the concepts of religion.
The Widow Douglas is able to convey the principles of prayer and God more effectively than Miss Watson. When Huck cannot make sense of why people cannot obtain material things from prayer, he asks the widow who explains that praying results in â€œspiritual giftsâ€ (Twain 40). When he does not understand, the widow elaborates, and eventually Huck comes to realize that he has to put other people first. Even though he decides there is no advantage in doing so, Huck is still open to the Widowâ€™s ideas, mainly because she explains them. Listening as the widow describes God and comparing that depiction to the one Miss Watson relays, Huck concludes there are two different Gods. Conflict arises when Miss Watson demolishes the beautiful idea of God that the widow has relayed. This conflict is resolved when Huck chooses the widowâ€™s God, and even though he doubts that God would want him because he is â€œignorantâ€ and â€œornery,â€ Huck seems to be content with leaving whether or not he is accepted up to God. I believe the barrier between God and Huck increases because of Miss Watson. She continues to describe a God that is not just or loving, which is simply not how God is. Though I sometimes teach children who are mischievous, I always keep in mind that they are Godâ€™s children first and foremost, and my responsibility is to convince them of that to the best of my ability. By not teaching Huck that he is an important to God, Miss Watson continues to keep God and His legacy away from Huck.
Huck views prayer and religion as impediments because he has not been fully educated in their true significance. Two people, Miss Watson and the Widow Douglas, try to teach him about God and prayer, but they do so in different ways, which confuses Huck. He wants adventure but never recognizes that a life with God is an adventure. He wants to pray for things that are important, but he fails to understand that the important things in life are not materialistic. He wants to understand the things that Miss Watson is telling him, but she refuses to explain them to him. Huck struggles to ascertain a relationship with God because he is unable to acquire a sufficient understanding of Him. Because he does not immediately accept the


Sri Lankan Expatriate Catholic Community is a vibrant cultural group in the Province of Ontario contributing to the prosperity of the province and the Canadian Nation even as it is an important cultural community with its own indigenous heritage, culture and identity in the social fabric of multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious Sri Lanka.
As such, expatriate Sri Lankan Catholics have expressed a genuine desire and a need to form an organization that would represent them and become their voice in the Province of Ontario and in the Canadian Nation to impress their identity as a cultural community that merit the attention of both provincial and federal authorities.

Rough Skate 3, 4, 5 and 6 (Combined) (RSK3)
Maori name
Scientific name
Zearaja nasuta
Physical characteristics
Rough Skates are brown with multiple white spots on top and white undersides. As their name suggests, they have many small prickles covering their top surface that are more prominent on the males. Rough Skate can grow to a body length (not including tail) of 79 cm.
Life cycle
Rough Skate have a maximum age of 9 years. Maturity in females is reached at a length of 59 cm and 6 years of age. Males reach maturity at 52 cm and 4 years old. Rough Skate lay two eggs at a time in spring-summer, but it is not known how often this happens in a year.
Rough Skate are most commonly found around the South Island, but are known all around New Zealand. They are found on sandy or muddy bottom surfaces at depths down to 500 m.

how the XML is formatted. If you use the XmlSerializer regularly, then this should look familiar. The rule on OrderItem will check if the object is marked as dirty. If so, it tells the parent order to recalculate its total, and changes the dirty flag back to false. Notice also how the full type names are specified in this XML. Rules are always associated with a type. The rule names are also the same, but since they're on different types, it's OK.
RuleExec makes the job of coding a lot easier. We don't have to worry about running the parser ourselves or doing any of the set up work that was done in the previous section. The code below will create an Order, add an OrderItem to it, and change the number of units on that item:
Order o = new Order();
OrderItem oi = o.NewItem(2.3f, 2);
oi.Units = 5;
Console.WriteLine(" Total: " + o.Total);
Console.WriteLine(" Total: " + o.Total);
Looks much easier, huh? Here is the resulting output of this code:
 Total: 4.6
 Total: 11.5
Priorities and Halting
While working on my Guess Word game, I found that it is not guaranteed which order rules will be run in. They are not even run in the same order that they were entered into the RuleSet. Sometimes, it is necessary to run rules in a particular order. The solution to this is to use a priority.

The priority attributes in this rule set indicate that Rule1 should run before Rule2. While it may seem that Rule1 will run before Rule2 anyway, this is not guaranteed. To guarantee the order, we specify the priority. In this particular case, forward-chaining would take over and recognize that we changed the Bar property. If Rule2 runs before Rule1, the worst that could happen is that the rule set is run twice. But, imagine you have several rules, all changing properties. Unless you use priorities, the rules could end up running many more times than they have to.
Another feature that is needed is halting. Rules in Workflow Foundation are allowed to have halt commands. These commands can be inserted anywhere into a set of then or else actions. What puzzles me about this is that conditions and loops are not allowed in then or else actions, so there's always a sequential flow. Anything after a halt would therefore be unreachable. With this in mind, it is safe to make halting an attribute on a rule.
Obviously, halts are false by default, and do not need to be specified. The same goes for priority. By default, all priorities are zero, and the Workflow Foundation decides the order that they're run in.
The new Windows Workflow Foundation in.NET 3.0 adds a rules library that can be quite useful. There are times when you're writing an application that you feel that you'll need rules, but not workflow. That's the reason I've put together this library. Microsoft has included a rule-writing GUI that will end up writing a.rules file that pairs with your original source code. This is nice for the workflow environment, but the serialization is not in a human-readable format. Using my CodeDom expression parser, I have made it possible to write rules in the application configuration. My intention was to introduce people to this rules library, and to give them the ability to embed rules into their application.
What's Inside
Here's a listing of the files inside:
 - CodeDomExpParser - My CodeDom expression parser library.
 - DmCodeDom - CodeDom helper library.
 - Assignment.cs - Creates a CodeAssignmentStatement.
 - Declaration.cs - Creates a CodeVariableDeclarationStatement.
 - DmCdStmt.cs - Base class.
 - ExprStmt.cs - Creates a CodeExpressionStatement.
 - ForLoop.cs - Creates a CodeIterationStatement.
 - IfElse.cs - Creates a CodeConditionStatement.
 - DmCodeDom.TestHarness - NUnit test harness for the DmCodeDom library.
 - TestDmCd.cs - Contains code that was mentioned in the article.
 - DmRules
 - Configuration\DmRulesConfigHandler.cs - A configuration section handler to read the rules from the application configuration.
 - DmRule.cs - Represents a rule.
 - DmRuleSet.cs - Holds all the rules.
 - DmRuleTypeSet.cs - Pairs a rule with a type.
 - RuleExec.cs - Static helper class for running rules.
 - DmRules.TestHarness - NUnit test harness for DmRules.
 - BaseObject.cs - A base class that has the IsDirty property.
 - Order.cs - The Order class used above.
 - OrderItem.cs - The OrderItem class used above.
 - TestDmRules.cs - Contains code that was used in the article.
 - 0.1 : 2006-06-20 : Initial version
 - Updated the CodeDomExpParser library to work with.NET 2.0. Created the initial version of DmRules with the capability to run rules per type. The primary consideration for the future of the library is forward-chaining across types.
 - 0.2 : 2006-07-10 : Added priorities and halting
 - Rules are not guaranteed to run in any particular order. Assigning a priority can fix this problem. Sometimes, it is necessary to halt processing of other rules, a halt command has been added for this.

Of Saints and Sharifian Kings in Morocco: Three Examples of the Politics of Reimagining History Through Reinventing King/Saint Relationship
MetadataShow full item record
The relationship between sainthood and the sharifian monarchy in Morocco has attracted much attention from researchers within the area of Moroccan studies. The analysis of this relationship can offer invaluable insights into the dynamics of Moroccan history because the king and the saint are widely regarded as the two most salient actors in this history. Yet, the study of the relationship between these two figures has suffered a tendency towards downplaying its historically dynamic nature, and essentializing the cultural constructs upon which it is predicated. In this thesis, I offer a revisionary reading of king/saint relationship through analyzing three examples from the 'Alawite dynasty. I argue that this relationship has been highly dynamic, and has capitalized on baraka and sharifism as versatile cultural constructs. More significantly, the dynamics of king/saint relationship in Moroccan culture allows the strategic reinvention of history in order to meet the demands of changing historical contexts.

Tab Panel
The TabPanel UI component consists of Tabs and MultiView components. The TabPanel automatically synchronizes the selected tab with the currently displayed view and vice versa.
Generate Similar Tabs Based on a Data Source
To generate similar tabs and views, bind the TabPanel to data. Use the items[] or dataSource property to do this. Both these properties can work with local arrays, but dataSource also accepts a DataSource object. You can use this object if you need to process the local array or fetch the array from a remote data source. In this demo, the dataSource property is set to a local array.
Each object in the items[] or dataSource array can contain predefined fields, such as title or icon (see the items[] section for the full list). The TabPanel automatically recognizes these fields and creates the default tab and view appearance based on them. However, if your data objects contain custom fields, you need to specify the itemTitleTemplate and itemTemplate that define how to display the fields in tabs and views. This demo illustrates the latter use case.
Create Individual Tabs
If you want each tab and view to have differently structured content, define individual templates. To do this, assign an array of objects to the items[] or dataSource property and specify the tabTemplate and template properties in each object. This use case is illustrated in the following tutorial: Getting Started with TabPanel.
Switch Between Tabs
To switch between tabs programmatically, use the selectedIndex property. It accepts the index of a tab in the dataSource or items[] array. The onSelectionChanged function allows you to perform the desired actions when the selected tab changes.
Use the following properties to configure user navigation between tabs:
 - swipeEnabled
 Defines whether to switch between views with a swipe gesture.
 - loop
 Specifies whether to loop views.
 - animationEnabled
 Specifies whether to animate transition between views.
You can switch the checkboxes below the TabPanel to change the loop, animationEnabled, and swipeEnabled property values.

What does "PUK" mean on your SIM card when you lock your phone?
With mobile phones, PUK stands for "personal unlocking key." This code is used to open a SIM card that has been locked after using the wrong personal identification number (PIN) a certain number of times.
Most SIM cards allow only up to three tries before being locked. A locked SIM card then requires a PUK. This usually comes with the SIM card, or the mobile carrier can be contacted to inquire how to procure this code. If the wrong PUK is entered a set number of times, the SIM card is then permanently locked. This can happen if a person continues to enter the PIN when the SIM card is already asking for the PUK.

Accuracy of a projectile is typically quantified as the proportion of successful target hits, or the distance an object finishes from the target. Serving in sports such as badminton differs since the shuttlecock is usually intercepted by the opponent before landing on the target (i.e. court surface). Therefore, landing accuracy measures are inappropriate and a new method of determining accuracy of the serve is needed. During interviews, elite coaches and players described an accurate short serve as crossing the net with low clearance and having an apex before the net. Three-dimensional trajectory of the shuttlecock was therefore tracked from eight national-level players who performed 30 short serves in simulated match conditions (i.e. with an opponent); 27% of all serves were classified as 'accurate', 27% of serves as 'inaccurate', 21% with a 'good apex' position, and 25% with a 'good clearance' height. The proposed method of assessing shuttlecock trajectory as a measure of accuracy could be adopted by coaches and players to assess and improve short serve accuracy. Furthermore, this method is more representative of a match environment since the shuttlecock rarely lands because the opponent returns the serve.

The National Day of Finland is on the 6th December (Independence Day, declaration of independence from Russia 1917). The day is a public holiday in Finland. This is usually celebrated with parades, flag-raising ceremonies, concerts, and other cultural events.
National Day of Finland
Accordingly Finland was once part of the Russian Empire (National Day of Russia). This lasted for more than a century. This from 1809 until 1917 when it gained its independence. During World War II, Finland fought two wars against the Soviet Union, known as the Winter War and the Continuation War. This resulted in territorial losses for Finland. See also the National Day of Sweden for more history.
The Independence Day celebrations typically begin on the eve of the 6th December with a torchlight procession through the streets of Helsinki. Likewise this procession is usually led by the Finish President with thousands of followers also carrying torches as well as flags. On the day itself, there is a formal flag-raising ceremony at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki. See also other European National Days on this website.
Public Holidays in Finland
Firstly here are the public holidays in Finland:
- New Year's Day: January 1st
- Epiphany: January 6th
- Good Friday: April 14th
- Easter Sunday: April 16th
- Easter Monday: April 17th

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.

Discover the Lost
There are 5.8 million lost people in North Carolina.
We've identified the top 100 areas of lostness in North Carolina. Of these 100, 97 are located within the top eight population centers of the state. Population centers include the cities and surrounding areas of Charlotte, the Research Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point), Fayetteville, Wilmington, Hickory, Asheville and Greenville.
Moreover, the unreached peoples of the world have come to our own communities. In reaching these people, contextual strategies based on ethnic and/or cultural contexts have proven to be the most effective approaches to impacting lostness.
How can I discover the lost?
 1. Local
 Start by prayerwalking or prayerdriving your community or neighborhood and observe the needs that exist.
 2. State
 Use the pockets of lostness map to identify how close your church is to a pocket. Contact a coordinator in your region to begin the process of discovery.
 3. World
 Discover how the world has begun to be displayed in your town. Then, find a people group on this map to learn more about them.

P1dB vs TOI-1dB compression point,Third Order Intercept Point
This page compares P1dB vs TOI and mentions difference between P1dB (1dB compression point) and TOI (Third Order Intercept Point). It also describes IIP3,OIP3 etc.
TOI | Third Order Intercept Point
As mentioned TOI refers to Third Order Intercept Point. As we know from our discussion in intermodulation distortion page, saturated or overdriven amplifier produces unwanted products of input signals. This is known as IMD (Intermodulation Distortion). When two or more signals are fed to the nonlinear device whether passive or active will generate many combinations of input signals produced at the output. These contain first order, second order and third order products. Out of these intermodulation distortion (IMD) products only third order products are vulnerable to interference due to its higher amplitude and close proximity with the desired signals. For f1 and f2 input signals, output third order products namely 2f1-f2 as well as 2f2-f1 lead to IMD interference.
Each P1dB increase results in 3dB increase in 3rd order IM (Intermodulation) power. TOI point is a figure of merit,
which characterizes a RF receiver's tolerance subjected to multiple RF signals outside passband of interest.
The TOI points on X-axis and Y-axis are designated as IIP3 and OIP3 respectively.
Refer IIP3 versus OIP3 which describes difference between IIP3 and OIP3.
The figure depicts IP3 measurement setup.
➤ OIP3 = POUT + ΔP/2
ΔP = POUT - POUT_3
Here POUT refers to power of fundamental signals when they are equal in magnitude
POUT_3 refers to power of third order intermodulation products when they are equal in magnitude
Refer IIP3 calculator >> which calculates IIP3 and OIP3, when powers of both fundamental signals are equal and when powers of IMD products are also equal.
Refer IM3 calculator which calculates third order intercept points at input (i.e. IIP3) and at output (i.e. OIP3) using IM3 formula mentioned above.
P1dB | 1dB compression point
P1dB or 1dB compression point is the part of the curve where, 2dB change in the input power fed to the amplifier(RF circuit) results into 1 dB change in the output power. The input and output powers are called as P1Bin and P1dBout respectively. In reality, Intercept point is usually about 10 dB higher value compare to P1dB (1dB compression point).
Both IIP3 and OIP3 are results of third order intermodulation distortion products. RF circuit does not function correctly or amplify the input signal properly at the IIP3 input level.
IIP3 mentioned above is the 3rd order intercept point at the input of the amplifier for OIP3 (Output third Order Intercept point).
Following equation mentions relation between IIP3 and OIP3 with respect to gain.
Gain + IIP3 = OIP3
The formula is useful in order to characterize linearity of a RF receiver for signals below the saturation level.

The Order 1886
Ready at Dawn's upcoming action-adventure third-person shooter, The Order: 1886 hits the stores globally tomorrow and we've got the launch trailer.
"Rewrite the past in this unique vision of Victorian London where advanced weaponry is used to battle a powerful and ancient foe."
In the game's history, around the seventh or eighth centuries, a small number of humans took on bestial traits. The majority of humans feared these half-breeds and war broke out.
King Arthur and his like-minded knights take the fight to the half breeds, but Arthur soon realizes it's a losing battle. Through a mysterious turn of fate, The Knights discover Black Water, a mystical liquid that significantly extends their lifetimes and gives them remarkable healing abilities.
Despite this new advantage the half breeds continue to win battle after battle until the industrial Revolution turns the tide. Inventors are far ahead of their time, inventing technologies such as thermal imaging, Zeppelins, and wireless communications.
The Order: 1886 is set to launch on February 20, 2015, exclusively for the PlayStation 4.

Are you a fan of the iconic VW Golf? Curious about its weight and how it contributes to its performance on the road? Well, look no further! In this blog post, we're going to delve into the world of automotive engineering and explore just how much a VW Golf weighs.
Buckle up and join us on this fascinating journey as we uncover the secrets behind one of Europe's most beloved compact cars!
The Evolution of the VW Golf's Weight
The Volkswagen Golf, commonly known as the VW Golf, has been a popular choice among car enthusiasts for over four decades. It is one of the most iconic and best-selling models by the German automaker Volkswagen.
With each new generation, the VW Golf has undergone significant changes in terms of design, technology, and performance. But one aspect that often goes unnoticed is its weight.
When it was first introduced in 1974, the VW Golf weighed around 1,800 pounds (816 kg). This was considered lightweight at the time compared to other cars in its class. However, with advances in technology and safety features over the years, the weight of the VW Golf has gradually increased with each new model.
In 1983, with its second generation release, the weight of the VW Golf jumped up to around 2,000 pounds (907 kg). This increase can be attributed to the addition of new features such as power steering and air conditioning. These added amenities improved driving comfort but also added extra weight to the vehicle.
As we moved into the third-generation models in 1991, there was another significant jump in weight. The base model now weighed around 2,500 pounds (1134 kg), almost a thousand-pound difference from its initial release just two decades prior. This increase can be attributed to advancements in safety features such as airbags and reinforced frames.
Factors Affecting Weight
Various factors determine the weight of a car and can vary significantly depending on the make and model. In this section, we will explore the different elements that contribute to the weight of a car, specifically focusing on the Volkswagen Golf.
- Size: One of the most significant factors affecting a car's weight is its size. Generally, larger cars tend to be heavier due to their increased dimensions and the need for more materials in construction. The VW Golf falls into the compact car category and is known for its smaller size compared to other models in its class. This compact design helps keep its weight relatively low.
- Materials Used: The materials used in a car's construction play a crucial role in determining its weight. Typically, heavier materials such as steel or iron are used in older models, while newer models tend to use lighter materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber to reduce weight without compromising strength and durability. The VW Golf uses high-quality lightweight materials in its construction, resulting in a lower overall weight.
- Engine Type: Another important factor that contributes to a car's weight is its engine type. Cars with larger engines tend to weigh more than those with smaller engines due to the added components needed for increased power output. The VW Golf comes equipped with various engine options ranging from small turbocharged three-cylinder engines to larger four-cylinder machines, all designed for fuel efficiency and performance without adding excessive weight.
Comparison to Other Cars in Its Class
The VW Golf has been a popular choice among car buyers for many years due to its reliability, practicality, and overall performance. One important factor that potential buyers often consider when purchasing a new car is its weight. In this section, we will compare the importance of the VW Golf to other popular vehicles in its class, such as the Honda Civic.
To start, let's take a look at the weight of the base model of each car. The VW Golf has a curb weight (the total weight of the vehicle without any passengers or cargo) of 2,943 pounds. On the other hand, the Honda Civic weighs slightly less, with a curb weight of 2,762 pounds. This means that the Honda Civic is about 181 pounds lighter than the VW Golf.
Moving on to their dimensions, both cars have similar lengths and widths. The VW Golf measures at 167.6 inches in length and 70.8 inches in width, while the Honda Civic comes in at 182.7 inches in length and 70.9 inches in width. However, it is worth noting that these measurements may vary depending on the specific model and trim level.
When it comes to engine options, both cars offer multiple choices for their customers. The base model of both vehicles comes equipped with a four-cylinder engine; however, there are also more powerful engine options available for those looking for an extra boost in performance.

LEA Administrators and Data Auditors
Why did some of my employees disappear from the NCEdCloud IAM Service?
If you have staff members in your LEA or charter school who were using accounts in the IAM Service but they no longer show up, the first place to check is typically the payroll system that your LEA or charter school uses. This occasionally happens with 10 and 11 month employees when their work/job Start Dates are not present or not in the upcoming school year in the payroll system.
Why is an employee's email wrong or missing in the NCEdCloud IAM Service?
Employee email address originally came from the HRMS system when NCEdCloud was first set up. However, many PSUs complained that those records were only updated if an employee changed jobs, and frequently had an old email listed. This process was changed a few years ago to obtain employee email address in a specific order by searching 2 or 3 source systems to find staff email address. The process now starts with PowerSchool, then checks LINQ HR (if used by the LEA), and lastly HRMS.
Who can see the "My Students" tab in the IAM Service Profiles view?
The ability to see the "My Students" tab in the Rapid Identity Portal under Profiles view, is based on whether the employee who logs into the IAM Service has one of the designated "Teacher Job Codes". Job Codes are setup by the NCDPI and are assigned to an employee through their payroll system and stored in the UID system. Below are the job codes (sometimes referred to as object codes), that allow an employee to see the My Students tab.
When is the next Home Base maintenance window and how will it affect the NCEdCloud IAM service?
Home Base Maintenance Periods typically involve downtime of PowerSchool and sometimes other Home Base applications. However, during such downtime, other IAM Service integrated applications remain available.
For a complete schedule of Home Base Maintenance Periods, please see... Home Base Maintenance and Support
What are the cutoff times for updated source data to be included in the IAM service the next day?
Upstream data processes produce the user data that is provided to the NCEdCloud IAM service early in the morning on Monday through Saturday. If an updated data field value is entered into that field's source system prior to that source system's cutoff time, then the data is provided to the IAM service the following day. (Note that data is typically NOT provided to the IAM service on Sunday mornings).
What settings in the Chrome browser can affect logins?
There are a couple of Chrome settings that may improve your experience in using the NCEdCloud IAM Service:
 1. 'Continue where I left off' - attempts to re-establish all of your sessions that were open when you closed the browser. This can result in a continuation of a session -ORcan result in some very cryptic errors within the Application. Change this under Settings > On startup
How are elevated privilege roles requested?
The Tech Director/CTO for an LEA or Charter School should be the first person to claim their account and request the LEA Administrator Role. To request a privileged role for others, choose the 'Workflow' button on the left menu and then choose the 'Requests' tab along the top. Select the desired role checkbox(es) (LEA Administrator, LEA Data Auditor, LEA Help Desk, LEA Student Help Desk, School Help Desk, and School Student Help Desk) and click the Submit Requests button.
How do I see a list of employees or students in my LEA?
The My Employees tab or the My Students tab under Profiles in the IAM Service relies on a "Search" function. You need to enter some criteria to select the users you want to lookup. The easiest search is to enter an asterisk * wildcard in the search window and click the Search button. This will only return the first 1000 matching records, however, which is the limit of the query.


Farther vs Further
These two English words are very similar; keep reading for further information.
Farther means "more far/distant" in physical space.
Tom ran farther than Bill.
Which is farther, New York or Los Angeles?
Farthest means "the most far/distant."
I prefer the seat farthest from the window.
Pluto was once considered the farthest planet from the sun.
Further means "more far/distant" figuratively or non-physically, and can also mean "more/additional":
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Who is further along in her research?
Do you have any further ideas?
Further is also a verb: "to advance":
This class will further your understanding of ethics.
Furthest means "the most far/distant" figuratively.
That is the furthest thing from my mind.
The Bottom Line
Many English speakers use both farther and further to mean "more far" in space, but only further can be used for non-physical distance and to mean simply "more." If you are talking about actual distance, you can usually use either word without raising any eyebrows, but keep further in mind for all of your English furthering efforts.

Smoke from moorland wildfires may hold toxic blast from the past | Innovation Tech
THE UK's largest wildfire for decades is almost under control after blazing for a week during the country's longest heat wave since 1976. But with no rain forecast for at least a week, peat burning underground at Saddleworth Moor near Manchester could continue to smoulder, generating hazardous smoke. The same could happen on moorland at Winter Hill (pictured), 50 kilometres away, which burned for five days before being put out.
Fire chiefs tackling the Saddleworth blaze say it has consumed up to 20 square kilometres of moor and scrubland. Although surface fires are all but out, peat below ground continues to smoulder and can only be completely extinguished with a two or three-day downpour. "Without rain, it's very difficult to put out," says Hugh Coe, a professor of atmospheric composition at the University of Manchester.
As it continues to smoulder and burn, the peat reignites sporadic surface fires, and spews potentially hazardous smoke. "The worst hazard is the small-particulate matter, which exacerbates lung problems, asthma, allergy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder," says Coe. Burning peat debris also gets coated with cancer-causing chemicals called polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
But because of extensive toxic fallout from factories a century ago, there could be other hazards. "There's 100 years' of pollution buried along with the peat as it formed," says Coe. This could mean that toxic heavy metals such as lead and cadmium are taking to the air in fly ash.

Is it possible to set the inertia tensor used for a rigid body control?
I have understood thus far that it is possible to set the mass and principal moments of inertia for a rigid body through function calls to jbullet itself through the following functions:
final javax.vecmath.Vector3f principalInertia = new javax.vecmath.Vector3f(inertia.toArray(null)); rbc.getObjectId().setMassProps(mass_kg, principalInertia);
or to set the principal inertias more directly:
final javax.vecmath.Vector3f principalInertia = new javax.vecmath.Vector3f(inertia.toArray(null)); setInvInertiaDiagLocal(Vector3f diagInvInertia);
However, I have not been able to find any way to set the off diagonal terms of the inertia tensor, namely through specifying the principal axes. At the very least, I expected it to be pretty straightforward something as basic as the entire inertia matrix for an rbc to exist, but i have not been able to find anything. At first i considered that jbullet might limit itself to have all rigid bodies require principal axes that align with the reference frame unit vectors( which would be severely limiting, but i considered it nonetheless) but I could clearly see that it was possible to get the inertia tensor as a whole(but not set it?) that the off diagonal terms were not zero. Namely this was observed with the function:
javax.vecmath.Matrix3f inertiaTensor = new javax.vecmath.Matrix3f(); rbc.getObjectId().getInvInertiaTensorWorld(inertiaTensor);
Since the off diagonal terms were clearly non-zero, then the principal axes are clearly not aligned with the rbc reference frame. So the question remains, how can either the principal axes or the entire inertia tensor as a whole be set?

Drumhead (sign)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The term drumhead refers to a type of removable sign that was prevalent on North American railroads of the first half of the 20th century. The sign was mounted at the rear of passenger trains, and consisted of a box with internal illumination that shone through a tinted panel bearing the logo of the railroad or specific train.[1] Since the box and the sign were usually circular in shape and resembled small drums, they came to be known as drumheads.
Railroad drumheads were removable so that they could be mounted on different passenger cars (usually on the rear of observations), as needed for specific trains.

Here's a video that will take you through the steps of making a storm glass; a smart device that can give you a weather update!
The storm glass or chemical barometer already exist in 1750 but was not popularly known and used until the 19th century. The crystals in a chemical barometer are made up of three solid components that were dissolved in the heat but somehow form a mass on their own as the climate conditions change every day. Note that the amount of each component used in making a storm glass may need to be adapted to your local climate, since storm-glass instruments were all intended for use in cold climate zones. Are you ready to predict the weather? Follow the instructions below, and start making your storm glass today!
- Vodka, 100 Proof (50% Ethanol) – 300 mL
- Camphor – 28g (1oz)
- Potassium Nitrate – 10g
- Ammonium Chloride – 10g
1. Pour in 300 ml of vodka in a jar
2. Add 1 cube of camphor to the vodka
3. Add 10 g potassium nitrate
4. Add 10 g ammonium chloride
5. In a pot lightly heat some water then immerse the jar to dissolve all the solid components. This will show you the degree to which one substance is able to dissolve in another
6. While heating, cover the jar lightly. Do not use a tight cover as this will cause pressure to build up inside the jar
7. Put a couple of ice cubes on the lid to reduce any alcohol that may evaporate
8. Turn off the burner once all the solids have dissolved and allow the water to cool down before you put the sealing ring of the jar
9. Place in a non-climate controlled area in your house
To reset your storm glass, place the jar in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes. Wait for the old crystals to dissolve completely. Always loosen the jars' lid when reheating to prevent pressure build-up.

Facts about Highlands
The community was named Highlands because the east bank of the San Jacinto River, where Highlands is located, has a higher elevation than the west bank of the river. By 1908 Highlands became a station on the Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railway. A post office opened in 1929. Highlands incorporated in 1930, but its charter was voided, leaving Highlands as unincorporated again. In the 1930s Highlands had 20 businesses and its population decreased from 350 to 200. The 1936 Harris County highway map indicated two churches, a factory, a school, and a sawmill in Highlands. Highlands housed military members and war plant personnel during World War II. By 1948 Highlands had 3,000 residents and 75 businesses. In the 1950s local business decreased and the population decreased to 2,723. A 1956 attempt for Highlands to incorporate did not pass. In the 1960s Highlands had a canning sales company and an industrial chemical company. In the early 1960s Highlands had 4,336 residents and 82 businesses. In 1965 W. O. Hutson built the Double Trouble Youth Rodeo Arena. In the early 1970s Highlands had 3,462 residents and 66 businesses. By 1977 Highlands had 5,000 residents; in 1989 Highlands reported the same population. In 1990 Highlands had an estimated population of 6,632.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 6.5 square miles (16.9 km2), of which 4.9 square miles (12.6 km2) is land and 1.7 square miles (4.3 km2), or 25.18%, is water. Highlands is located on the banks of the San Jacinto River and the Houston Ship Channel. The majority of the land in Highlands is on a high river bank. The historic Lynchburg Ferry is nearby.

Nonlinear Rayleigh waves propagating in a substrate coated with a thin elastic film are studied numerically. The evolution model consists of the nonlinear spectral equations of Zabolotskaya [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 91, 2569-2575 (1992)] augmented ad hoc to include film dispersion. The dispersion relation is obtained from linear theory but is otherwise exact. Both loading and stiffening films are considered. Computations are performed for nonlinear evolution of an initially sinusoidal Rayleigh wave under three distinct dispersion regimes corresponding to different film thicknesses. The validity of the evolution model is also examined.

Refreshing form parts
When using form parts in AX 2012, you sometimes need to explicitly refresh their data based on an event in the main form. It may not be completely obvious how to do it, but it's not too complicated in the end.
Form parts are actually forms by themselves and if you know how to manipulate forms at runtime, you know how to work with parts too. The tricky part it getting a reference to a form part.
One of possible solutions is adding the following method to SysSetupFormRun class (so it's available to all forms):
public FormRun getFormPartByName(str _name)
 PartList partList = new PartList(this);
 FormRun part;
 int i;
 for(i = 1; i <= partList.partCount(); i++)
 part = partList.getPartById(i);
 if ( == _name)
 return part;
 return null;
As you see, it iterates all parts in the form and finds a part with the given name.
Then you can call it from your form to get a reference to a particular part and do anything you like with it, such as refreshing the data:
public void refreshMyFactBox()
 SysSetupFormRun formRun = this as SysSetupFormRun;
 FormRun factBox = formRun.getFormPartByName('MyInfoPart');
 if (factBox)
Note that if it's a form part, you have to provide the name of the underlying form, such as:
FormRun factBox = formRun.getFormPartByName(formStr(MyFormPartForm));
 1. Very small typo.
 There's a double end parathesis in
 FormRun factBox = formRun.getFormPartByName('MyInfoPart'));
 There should only be one.
 Then it will compile. 🙂
 2. Hi Martin, can something like this be used to send eplicit data to a form part?
 Let me explain. I have created an InfoPart on the SalesTable form to display certain attributes for an item. The problem is, the infoPart data doesn't display on a new SalesLine entry until it's saved (obviously because the infoPart is reading from the SalesLine table and until I save the line, the data only exists in the table buffer). However we need the infoPart data to display immediately upon entry of the ItemId on the new SalesLine before it's been saved. I can use a display method in the SalesLine grid and it is able to use the TableBuffer data to populate. (The text is too long to reasonably display in the grid however)
 I've been looking for a solution to my problem when I came across your blog post here. Could I "push" a string from aSalesLine display method to appear in the InfoPart before the line is saved/inserted into the SalesLine table?
 Thanks for your time.
 3. Hi Martin, i am working with D365 and i need to add a resizing option between the grid and the form part of the Pending Vendor Invoices list page.
 I am not sure how since the standard list page does not give a resizing option.

The scientific article discusses the possibilities for the development of medical tourism in Bulgaria and the challenges it faces. The aim of the scientific work is to examine and establish the prerequisites which have a beneficial impact on medical tourism. An emphasis is placed on the main problems that hinder the higher occupancy of spa hotels and spa centers. The peculiarities of medical tourism and the basic resources its successful implementation depends on, are examined. Attention is paid to the main groups of users of the service, the factors that influence the overall development, both positively and negatively. The author concludes that the general state of medical tourism is far from its potential, the policy for its implementation is not sufficiently effective and should be reviewed and enhanced. A leading aspect of the study are the opportunities for improving the conditions for stimulating the consumers, both Bulgarian and foreign citizens, to actively use the potentials for treatment and recreation in the country.

This study is aimed to determine the speech production in students with autism at Lazuardi GIS Senior High School, Depok. The study is focused on speech production in students with autism in order to have knowledge of the structure and the type of sentences given by students with autism. This research was conducted in Lazuardi GIS Senior High School, Depok in August 2016. This study is formed with a qualitative case study method. The data of this study were collected by conducting a direct observation of speech production activity in students with autism. This involved multifaceted interviews for studies conducted to teachers, friends, and families of students with autism. To be included, all findings are recorded on a sheet of field observations and recording devices. The data for this study are analyzed in the form of the table and also had a described analysis. The speech result of students with autism had been qualified to be a complete sentence consists of a subject and predicate. In addition, the study was found that speech does not have an element of predicate as forms an incomplete sentence. Out of 59 utterances that have been collected, the study had most commonly found utterance directive, as total 32 utterances. As many as 20 representative utterance speech in total, and the study also found the 7 commissive speeches. Moreover, the study did not found the form of expressive and declarative speeches. This is because the students with autism are not able to control their basic emotions in speech production. This resulted in the conclusion, that students with autism utterances produced by the age of 18 years old has become a communicative speech, in which contained messages that could be understood by the other speaker even though the sentence is not complete.

text: This paper studies the pricing strategies for personalized product bundles. In such problems, a seller provides a variety of products for which customers can construct a personalized bundle and send a request for quote (RFQ) to the seller. The seller, after reviewing the RFQ, has to determine a price based on which the customer either purchases the whole bundle or nothing. Such problems are faced by many companies in practice, and they are very difficult because of the potential unlimited possible configurations of the bundle and the correlations among the individual products. In this paper, we propose a novel top-down and bottom-up approach to solve this problem. In the top-down step, we decompose the bundle into each component and calibrate a value score for each component. In the bottom-up step, we aggregate the components back to the bundle, define important features of the bundle, and segment different RFQs by those bundle features as well as customer attributes. Then we estimate a utility function for each segment based on historical sales data and derive an optimal price for each incoming RFQ. We show that such a model overcomes the aforementioned difficulties and can be implemented efficiently. We test our approach using empirical data from a major information technology service provider and the test result shows that the proposed approach can improve the effectiveness of pricing significantly.

How can the mid-point of a polyline be calculated using the geoprocessing framework, eg in a Python script?
The polyline.centroid property returns The true centroid if it is within or on the feature; otherwise, the label point is returned. The centroid is rarely located on non-straight lines, which is useless for my purposes.
The Feature Vertices to Points tool has a midpoint option but this requires ArcInfo, which I don't currently have.
An option could be to add measures to the polylines and create a route event 50% along the line.
Another workaround is to use the Calculate Geometry option in ArcMap, but ideally I need to automate this process in a script.
Any better/faster suggestions? Thanks
[EDIT] I'm limited to ArcGIS 10.0 for the moment.


How to Keep Your Tribal Tattoo Black
Getty Images/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
The deep black of the ink, coupled with the design, makes tribal tattoos very striking. Over time, the tattoos fade and the blacks become more gray. This is because of several factors including sun exposure, how well the tattoo healed and the natural tendency for some inks to leach out of the skin. Taking proper care with your tattoos -- during the healing process, and long after -- can help you keep your tribal tattoos black longer.
Cover a brand new tattoo with a bandage for the first week. Wash the area, daily, with soap and water to prevent infection. An infection can cause the ink to leach out of your skin, creating holes and faded areas in the design.
Apply an antibiotic ointment immediately if the area becomes infected. Avoid alcohol or peroxide, both of which can bleach the ink or cause the ink to leach out of your skin. The faster you treat an infection, the more likely you can save the design.
Wear sunscreen over the tattoo after it heals, and avoid exposing the design to direct sunlight as much as possible. Sunlight will cause the ink to fade.
Get a touch-up from a professional tattoo artist. Taking precautions will slow down the process, but the ink will still fade over time. A professional tattoo artist can go over the tattoo and color in the faded areas.

Soap on a Rope
Making soap on a rope is easy especially if you're making one out of soap scraps. That's right. We're using soap scraps to make soap on a rope either for your personal use or to give to someone else. Soap on a rope is something you can do to make use of those soap scraps instead of just throwing them away or letting it soak in your soap dish. Let's begin making your very first soap on a rope with the following steps.
First, you will need to prepare the materials needed for soap on a rope. These are the soap scraps, warm water, and nylons. You'll need 1 cup full of soap scraps to make soap on a rope. Now that you've gathered all the materials, let's start by breaking up the soap scraps into tiny little pieces. It will be best to use a grater or knife. That's how small it should get. Now, prepare a mixing bowl and place the grated soap scrapes in the bowl. Next, prepare a half cup of warm water. Pour it into the bowl and let it stand for about an hour.
After an hour, start kneading the soap and the water together as if you are kneading dough. Make sure to make it smooth and come up with the consistency of thick dough. If needed, add more warm water as needed. Make sure to add only a little at a time. You can use a tablespoon to make sure you only add little amount of water. If you want to add color, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture until the desired color is achieved. Blend well. Now, it's time to shape the mixture into a ball. Lay a piece of wax paper on the table and set the soap on top. It will take at least 24 hours to dry.
Once dry, cut about 12 inches nylon and create a loop around the soap ball. Tie the ends of the nylon above the soap ball. Now, you can hang your soap on a rope in the shower!

ABA design code increases the reliability of a structure by means of multiplying the partial safety factors by load and resistant. In this paper, the reliability index of code-based designed structures are calculated and investigated. Also it is shown that the different values of reliability index are calculated for the different values of the coefficient of variation. This result expresses the importance of the code design collection on basis of reliability theory. In other words, the partial safety factors of design parameters for ABA must be calculated on basis of the local statistical data(in favor of Iran) of the parameters.

Imagine a future where buildings are smart enough to "talk" — at least to tell you when you are wasting precious natural resources and need to adjust temperature, water consumption, power or lighting. The Tulane University School of Architecture has teamed up with IBM to launch a pilot program to do just that, by uniting computer technology with green building practices.
Richardson Memorial Hall, the home of the School of Architecture, will be the first Tulane building to go online in the pilot program, officially called "Smart Building Solutions." Technology is being installed in the building now, with an eye toward a future renovation project.
"Richardson Memorial will undergo a major renovation starting in a few years," says architecture dean Kenneth Schwartz. "The challenge for us is to take a structure that's over 100 years old and make it smarter, more efficient and effective in the way it operates."
According to Schwartz, Tulane's opportunity to participate in the program came about thanks to Randall Dalia, an IBM executive who is an alumnus of the architecture school and the A. B. Freeman School of Business.
Two Tulane departments are involved in the project — technology services will oversee the computer programming and databases, while facilities services will manage the building. "We're operating under the mantra, 'If you can't measure it, you can't manage it,"' says Charlie McMahon, Tulane's chief technology officer. "We'll be able to collect data about usage and incorporate what we learn into the renovation project so we can have a more energy efficient building when we are done."
McMahon says that Richardson Memorial will serve as a "living laboratory" for the architecture faculty and students to see firsthand the impact of building energy management techniques into a historic structure. Says McMahon, "They'll learn about what works and doesn't work in energy management in an older building like Richardson."

In contrast to known Raman-thermometric measurements of thermal conductivity (k) of suspended Si nano-membranes, here we apply Raman thermometry for k measurement of monoand nano-crystalline Si films on quartz, which is important for applications in thermoelectricity and nanoelectronics. Experimentally, we measure linear dependence of the laser-induced Raman band downshift, which is proportional to the moderate heating ΔT, on the laser power P. Then we convert the downshift to ΔT and determine the ratio ΔT/P. The actual power absorbed by the film is calculated theoretically and controlled experimentally by the reflection/transmission measurement. Then we calculate ΔTcalc/P for arbitrary film k assuming diffusive phonon transport (DPT). Film k is determined from the condition ΔT/P = ΔTcalc/P. We show that this method works well for films with thickness h > Λ where Λ is phonon-mean-free path, even for low-k films like nano-crystalline Si and SiGe. For h < Λ despite ballistic phonon transport contribution, this approach works when the in-plane DPT dominates, e.g. in Si films on quartz with h ≥ 60 nm. We also show that the influence of thermal boundary resistance on the determined k is negligible at this condition. The proposed method is simple and time efficient, as dozen of films can be examined in one hour.

In translating hyperboles, the effect of exaggerating something from the source text when translated literally into the target text can cause a strange meaning and less acceptable because the terms are not in accordance with the rules of the target language. This study aimed to analyze the translation strategies used by the translator in translating type of hyperboles and its translation quality in The Shrunken Head Novel. The descriptive qualitative research approach is used as a research design. The results of the study showed that there are two types of hyperboles found in this novel, namely overstatement of numbers and quantity and impossible description. Then, there are three strategies that used by translator to translated types of hyperbole in this novel, namely the sense of the word may be translated non-figuratively, retaining the word in the original but to add the sense of the word and substituting a figurative expression from SL to TL. The analysis on translation quality showed that 212 data of hyperboles (88%) considered as accurate, 207 data (86%) belongs to acceptable and 164 data (68%) are considered as high readability.


7 Things You May Not Know about Caviar
7 Things You May Not Know About Caviar
Aside from being one of the world's most luxurious foods, caviar has facts and health benefits that you may not have heard of. Here are a few things you may not know about these exquisite fish eggs.
1. Caviar is a highly concentrated source of nutrients. Caviar is packed with vitamins and minerals (Omega 3) and is high in protein. One serving of caviar has an adult's daily requirement of B12, as well as vitamins A, E, B6, iron, magnesium and selenium.
2. It lasts longer than one day. As caviar is essentially a cured fish, it has a very good shelf-life, even after it has been opened. When it is stored in the coldest part of a refrigerator, usually the bottom section, it should stay as fresh and as tasty as the day it was opened for up to 5 days.
3. The word "caviar" didn't originate in Russia. The most popular legend has it that the word caviar originally came from the Persian "khav-yar", meaning 'cake of power' as ancient Persians widely believed it to have medicinal powers.
4. Caviar can be heard! You can hear the friction when you rub fish eggs together, with a clearly distinguishable sound like a cat's purr.
5. Caviar is one of the oldest delicacies. Kings and the aristocracy in ancient Greece, Rome and Russian were all known to feast on caviar, before oysters, truffles, and Champagne had even been discovered.
6. The world's most expensive caviar comes from a 100 year-old sturgeon. Almas caviar is created from the eggs of a 70-100 year old huso huso sturgeon (which produces beluga caviar). It is sold for around £35,000 per kilo, which means it can be more than £1,000 for a 30g tin.
7. Caviar is incredibly versatile. Although traditionally caviar is served on blinis or toast, it's actually a very versatile delicacy. Early Russian caviar lovers preferred to have their fish eggs served on a baked potato. Nowadays, you can find caviar served with just about anything, from quail eggs Benedict to gourmet burgers and lobster mousse!
