Wiley Park Name Origin
Wiley Park is named after John Wiley, who bequeathed land for the park to the former Canterbury Council when he died in 1895.
Wiley Park Settlement History
Settlement of the area dates from 1832 when the first land grant was made, with development primarily from the 1940s and 1950s. The park bequeathed by John Wiley to the Council in 1895 was progressively developed through the 1920s and 1930s, and has more recently been redeveloped as a passive recreation area with a pond and amphitheatre. The population fluctuated slightly during the 1990s, and then increased slightly between 2001 and 2011 as new dwellings were added to the area.
Wiley Park Features
Major features of the area include Wiley Park, Defoe Street Reserve, Johnsen Square, the Wiley Park railway station and several schools.

Article ID: 294901
This article was previously published under Q294901
When you print a TEXTAREA element that is larger than a single page, Internet Explorer only prints the first page of the TEXTAREA.
To work around this problem, hide the TEXTAREA element, and copy the contents of each TEXTAREA in a newly created DIV element during the onBeforePrint event. After you print the page, remove the DIV element during the onAfterPrint event, and the TEXTAREA becomes visible again. See the "More Information" section for a code sample that demonstrates this workaround.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
The following code illustrates how to reproduce this problem:
In the actual results, only one page appears in preview, and only one page is printed. In the expected results, several pages should appear in preview, and all of the pages should print.
WorkaroundThe following code illustrates how to hide the TEXTAREA elements and replace them with DIV elements that contain the contents of the initial TEXTAREA elements:

Intermixing in GaAsSb/GaAs single quantum wells
4017 - 4019
Journal of Applied Physics
MetadataShow full item record
Photoluminescence coupled with repetitive thermal annealing has been used to study the interdiffusion process in a 10 nm GaAs 1-x Sb x /GaAs single quantum well. The diffusion equations and the Schrödinger equation were solved numerically to obtain the composition profile and the n = 1 electron to heavy-hole transition energies in the intermixed quantum well, respectively. The intermixing process was shown to obey Fick's second law. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

The present study is an investigation of the relationship between irrational beliefs and thought suppression in predicting distress in cancer patients. While there is a significant amount of data supporting their role as vulnerability factors for distress, no attempts have been made so far to study the relationships between these two individual characteristics. Our results show that both irrational beliefs and thought suppression are related to distress, and that the impact of irrational beliefs on distress is completely mediated by thought suppression. Potential mechanisms and implications are discussed.
Key words: thought suppression, irrational beliefs, distress


Sygic GPS Navigation for iOS (version 18.x)
Free app with option to subscribe to Premium+
Route did not calculate due to an error message
Route calculation failed: Download missing map error
 - This error usually occurs when you are creating a route from one country to another, and the app is missing crucial maps of countries that need to be passed through along the way (for example, if you create a route from Spain to Germany, but are missing the map of France, or from California to Washington without the maps of Oregon or Idaho).
 - To avoid this error, simply make sure that all maps necessary for the route are downloaded. Maps can be added via Menu → Maps, or by tapping on the download prompt which is displayed directly on the map over countries/states not yet downloaded.
 Please note that at the moment, it is not possible to create routes between certain countries if they are from 2 different map providers (this affects mostly the maps that were recently added in the app, most countries across the World are not affected). We are currently looking into a technical solution that should make it possible in the near future. Until then, the only way to navigate to or from affected countries is to create routes to and from the borders.
Route Calculation Has Failed, Roads Limit Reached error
This particular error message appears when the app's routing algorithm reaches it's limit. To further improve it, we would like to ask you to submit any route that you tried to set up in the app in a ticket form from this article. Usually, there are a few reasons why this error appears:
 - The route is too long due to a specific setting. The route would be normally calculated, but because of a specific routing setting, for example highway avoidance, the route possibilities would be exceeded before the route would finish calculating. Please check your settings in Menu → Settings → Route planning tab.
 - The starting point or destination is set in a no-drive zone. In this case, the application would try to calculate the route which cannot be completed and will go on with the calculation until the route processing limit is reached. Try adjusting the destination or starting points slightly.

Error when Instantiating Phase in Unit
I'm trying to add a phase to a batch unit. The phase was copied from an existing phase which has already been instantiated and downloaded without any issues. I changed the name of the new phase and the short name. However when I try to instantiate the phase in the Unit I get the following error:
"Only formal instance objects are allowed as children".
I have checked the phase for errors and consistency without any issues being highlighted.
Any help would be much appreciated.
System 800xA SV5.1 FP4 RevD
Voted best answer
As a general principle, if the phase you "copied" is the same as the original, then you really should be using the original, not a copy. If the phases are very similar, then it may be worth writing the phase in such a way it can be used in both units.
Anyway, I assume you've modified the code. It sounds like something odd happened when you originally copied the phase. The "formal instance" implies an issue with the way your phase has been created in the object type structure. ( formal instance definitions are used by the 800xA system to describe how library objects should be instatiated in other structures) Did you paste the copy into the same library or a new library? Where is the unit that are you trying to instantiate the phase into - Object Type structure or Control structure? (The short name is related to how OPC paths are set up by the batch server and should not be related to instantiating the phase )
Can you post some screen shots of your object type structure and control structure as well as the exact message you are getting?

3 types of buzzing
Posted on July 27, 2004 by
Why lip buzz or mpc buzz or leadpipe buzz. What is the difference. Besides I heard that a study showed we don't have to buzz.
Many great teachers advocated lip and or mouthpiece buzzing (to certain students).
They are used as exercises and to teach a certain concept. After the idea is understood the buzzing is stopped.
Leadpipe buzzing has more to do with AIR-flow while lip buzzing deals with Strength, range and a close embouchure setting. Mouthpiece buzzing is normally to work on a dynamic embouchure rather than static one. So that your embouchure can always adjust and shift registers as you play.
Strength exercises are short lived so as NOT to impede lip flexibility. AIR exercises are forever.
FWIW we've known since the early 60's that there is a standing wave setup in the tubing of the trumpet. I first read Schilke's report in 73 or 74. The fact that a buzz is not required does not mean that the skill learned doing it is not important.
If you only know how to dogpaddle then you can "say" you know how to swim. I doubt that a dogpaddle would win a swim meet however. Knowledge and skills always pay off.


What to eat in Rajasthan
Rajasthani cuisine is well-known across India for its richness and abundance of spice. Its desert location plays a huge part in its food scene, with cured, pickled and dried foods all popular. Dairy products are also common, with milk, cream and yoghurt used to flavour and thicken curries and gravies. Despite the harsh conditions, Rajasthan's royal background means that meat was often consumed, so you'll find many great meat and vegetarian options.
What to eat and drink in Rajasthan
Traditional Rajasthani cuisine is often quite spicy, as chilli was used to preserve and cure food. Try laal maas (mutton curry), Rajasthani kadhi (dumplings in a spicy sauce) and the ubiquitous dhal bhati churma (a wheat bread stuffed with peas and onions, then dipped in ghee and served with dhal).
Don't miss out on some of Rajasthan's street food. Make sure to pick a stall that is popular with locals and looks clean. Try kacchori (deep fried dumplings), samosas and full thalis (set meals containing curried vegetables, dhal, pickles, rice and bread).
The basics
No meal in India is complete without a supply of roti (unleavened flatbreads) to mop up the food. Try bhakri, a roti made from millet or corn and eaten with garlic, chilli and raw onions — locals believe it wards off sunstroke. For more substantial breads, try buttery parathas (flaky, pastry-like discs of bread) and doughy naans.
Dhal and pulses
India has more than 50 different varieties of dhal, but Rajasthan's most popular is the afore-mentioned dhal bhatia churma and urad dhal (black lentils cooked with garam masala, chilli, cumin and coriander).
When in Jodhpur, try kabuli Jodhpuri, a local speciality made of fried gram flour dumplings, vegetables and sometimes meat. Most fried street-food snacks are made with gram flour, such as the ubiquitous pakoras.
Meat dishes
Chicken, goat and mutton are all commonly eaten in Rajasthan, while religious taboos mean beef (forbidden to Hindus) and pork (forbidden to Muslims) are unlikely to be found. Many meat dishes in Rajasthan are cooked with dairy rather than water, with buttermilk, ghee and curds all being used to preserve the meat — perfect for desert conditions.
Try achar murg (pickled chicken), kachar maas (a dry dish of lamb cooked in spices) and laal maas (mutton curry in a deep red sauce).
Fruit and vegetables
The harsh climate conditions means that Rajasthanis have had to be inventive when it comes to fruit and vegetables. Try aloo gobi (dry cauliflower and potato cooked with spices) or mattar paneer (a mild curry of peas and firm cheese). Look out for fruits special to the region, such as kair, a berry eaten with desert beans — it tastes better than it sounds.
You'll also find many vegetables pickled or cured in chutneys. Each meal will come with an assortment to try.
Sweets and desserts
Indian desserts are incredibly sweet and Rajasthan's are no exception. Try badam barfi, an achingly sweet concoction of sugar, milk, butter and nuts; gulab jamun (deep-fried sponge balls swimming in rose-flavoured syrup) and kheer (a rice pudding flavoured with cardamom, saffron and nuts).
The Indian summer can be cruel, with hot winds blowing in from the Thar Desert forcing temperatures above 40C. It's important to stay hydrated while in Rajasthan, but it also allows you to sample some of the state's more creative thirst quenchers. Try nimbu shikanji, a lemonade style drink made with fresh lemons and black rock salt; bael juice, made from the pulp of the wood apple and mixed with jaggery and salt; and chaach, a buttermilk drink served with salt and cumin.

Convert Circular thou to ha (Circular thou to Hectare)
Circular thou into Hectare
 numbers in scientific notation
Direct link to this calculator:
How many Hectare make 1 Circular thou?
1 Circular thou = 0.000 000 000 000 050 670 75 Hectare [ha] - Measurement calculator that can be used to convert Circular thou to Hectare, among others.
Convert Circular thou to Hectare (Circular thou to ha):
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '844 Circular thou'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be used. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Area'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '21 Circular thou to ha' or '37 Circular thou into ha' or '5 Circular thou -> Hectare' or '50 Circular thou = ha' or '62 Circular thou to Hectare' or '12 Circular thou into Hectare'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.
Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '(94 * 4) Circular thou'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '844 Circular thou + 2532 Hectare' or '23mm x 71cm x 16dm =? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.

The flash provides a way to pass temporary objects between actions. Anything you place in the flash will be exposed to the very next action and then cleared out. This is a great way of doing notices and alerts, such as a create action that sets flash[:notice] = "Post successfully created" before redirecting to a display action that can then expose the flash to its template. Actually, that exposure is automatically done. Example:
class PostsController < ActionController::Base def create # save post flash[:notice] = "Post successfully created" redirect_to posts_path(_USER_) end def show # doesn't need to assign the flash notice to the template, that's done automatically end end show.html.erb <% if flash[:notice] %> <%= flash[:notice] %> <% end %>
Since the notice and alert keys are a common idiom, convenience accessors are available:
flash.alert = "You must be logged in" flash.notice = "Post successfully created"
This example just places a string in the flash, but you can put any object in there. And of course, you can put as many as you like at a time too. Just remember: They'll be gone by the time the next action has been performed.
See docs on the FlashHash class for more details about the flash.

The Technique Behind Frosted Glass
Frosted glass doors offer a great deal of privacy, while still maintaining the flow of your home or business and letting light come into rooms, even when the door is closed. They are an excellent option for smaller homes where extra light makes the space look and feel better. They are great for businesses, allowing light into what could otherwise be a drab workspace, while still giving employees the privacy they need to work. Of course, these are just two ways to use frosted glass doors; many people choose them for their showers, pantries, closets, entry ways, and bedrooms.
Frosted glass is made using one of two methods – acid etching and sandblasting. Both processes evenly roughen up the surface of the glass, creating a uniform color and smooth surface that still allows light in. Acid etching uses strong acids to cut into the surface of the glass. Typically, this process is used when a design is being etched into the glass. Sandblasting blows tiny, rough particles like sand at the surface of the glass. These particles hit the glass at high speeds causing tiny microscopic scratches to appear on the surface of the glass. Eventually, enough scratches appear that the glass looks like it has been covered in the frost of an early winter morning.
Like a morning frost, frosted glass doors have a delicate beauty that is undeniable. Unlike the frost found in nature, however, when you buy frosted glass doors from The Sliding Door Company, your doors will be around for much more than a morning. Our frames and glass are highly durable and are made to last for years to come.

The multi-agent resource allocation problem corresponds to the negotiation of m resources among n autonomous agents, in order to maximize a social welfare function. Contrary to some former studies, the purpose is neither here to simply determine a socially optimal resource allocation nor to prove the existence of a transaction sequence leading to this optimum, but to find a practical transaction sequence among agents, for any type of contact networks. With this intention, we study various agent behaviors in order to identify which one leads the most often to an optimal resource allocation. The allocation that is reached, can be viewed as an emergent phenomenon that comes out from local interactions among the agents.
After a study of different transaction types, we show that, among the set of studied transactions, the so called "social gift" transaction, is the most efficient one for solving the resource allocation problem associated with the utilitarian social welfare.

Régie des rentes du Québec
Administering a defined contribution plan
A defined contribution plan is generally administered by a pension committee, which is the first responder for the plan and must ensure that the plan is in conformity with the relevant laws.
The pension committee is responsible for the administration of the plan and the management of the pension fund. Furthermore, it has an important role to plan in providing information to plan members. It must act with prudence, diligence and competence, like any reasonable person.
Sometimes the administrator is not a pension committee
A plan with less than 26 members and beneficiaries can be administered by the employer. In that case, the employer has the same obligations and responsibilities as a pension committee.
Who can provide information about a plan?
Generally, the documentation given to plan members indicates the name and contact details of a contact person. Those details can also be obtained from the employer our by using the Régie's online consultation service for supervised pension plans.
How can someone become a pension committee member?
Any person who wants to be a committee member, whether or not he or she is a plan member, can express an interest in becoming a member to the persons who have the power to designate committee members (for example, the employer or the union). An interested person can also run as a candidate for election by the plan members and beneficiaries at the plan's annual meeting.

Can Chickens Eat Peaches?
Can Chickens Eat Peaches
Plenty of people domestically keep chicken coops at their homes or farmhouses. Feeding your chickens a good diet is one of the best ways to harvest quality eggs at home. While chickens are foragers and eat several foods, fruits are known to be great for them. Chicken owners often wonder whether or not chickens can eat peaches. Let's find out.
So, can chickens eat peaches? Yes, absolutely! Besides being delicious, peaches are also great sources of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and are packed with several other nutritious elements that are beneficial for chickens. Peaches' soft and hydrating nature allows chickens to gobble them up in seconds! However, you must always remove pits while feeding them to chickens.
Nutritional benefits of peaches – All you need to know
Loaded with pulpy goodness, peaches are amazing summer fruits. A medium-sized peach gives 50 calories, half a gram of healthy fats, carbohydrates (15 grams), fiber (2 grams), sugar (13 grams), protein (1 gram), and no cholesterol or sodium. Sounds amazing, doesn't it?
Peaches are part of the stone familyOpens in a new tab.. They have one big seed instead of several small ones. Besides being healthy for humans, they are beneficial for chickens too! They contain balanced amounts of vital nutrients that make them healthy and allow them to lay healthy eggs.
Here are the key nutrients in peaches.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is beneficial for chickens since it helps produce collagen. It also aids the body in fighting a number of diseases by building immunity.
CollagensOpens in a new tab. are extremely helpful in improving skin health as well as for accelerating the recovery from injuries and wounds.
Potassium is important for a chicken's internal cell function. It decreases the risk of many diseases and health problems like high blood pressure, stroke, and kidney stones.
Fiber helps keep a chicken's weight in control. It also promotes colon health. Besides, it protects chickens from severe health problems like diabetes, cancer, and obesity as well.
Carbohydrates obtained from peaches help keep a chicken active and help improve their overall health and wellness.
Natural Sugar
Their natural sugar content makes peaches sweet. Besides, they act as a natural taste enhancer. They are also healthy substitutes for sweet treats or processed food.
Peaches have good water content, which helps in keeping chickens hydrated.
Are there other benefits of feeding chickens peaches?
Feeding chickens peaches
In addition to the array of health benefits, you must also know the correct way of feeding this tasty fruit. Let's explore some other benefits of adding peaches to your chicken's meal before discussing the best way to add it in your chickens' feed.
Encourages physical stimulation
Chickens are hyperactive and curious creatures. You will always see a chicken pecking on something or the other. Furthermore, chickens are not domestic animals by origin.
They are not accustomed to living in confinement. Even though domesticated chickens adjust easily, they need to be kept occupied and physically fit.
Peaches are great treats for chickens and can be used as a tool for physical activity. Chickens kept in domestic environments tend to get stressed or plain bored. This takes a toll on their health and can make them aggressive and obese. This will also affect the quality of the eggs they lay.
You can use peaches to bring out their foraging instincts. You can keep slices or cubes of peaches hidden under some hay for them to discover. This will keep them entertained, active, as well as super-healthy.
Prevents scavenging for unsafe foods
Chickens are natural foragers and omnivorous by nature. Thus, you need to keep an eye on what they are eating while on their own. Peaches are a great way to distract chickens from unsafe foods.
For instance, nothing will stop a chicken from feeding on small rats or poisonous insects when they are hungry. You can prevent this by giving them tastier and healthier food like peaches.
How to feed your chickens peaches?
Do chickens eat peaches
Peaches are great for chickens and can act as delicious treats too! They are packed with nutrients and help keep your chickens healthy. However, precautions are a must when feeding pit-fruits to your chickens. Here's what you can do to feed your chickens peaches safely.
Wash peaches before feeding your chicken
Chickens tend to be restless when it comes to treats. You must not give in to their tense and pressing demands. Always wash peaches before you feed them to your chicken. This is a must before you slice or chop it to tiny bits.
Fruits have wax and other contaminants on their surfaces when kept in grocery stores. These can be harmful if consumed by your chicken. Thus, you should always soak or rinse peaches with lukewarm water to avoid any health risks.
Do not overfeed your chickens
Chickens have tiny appetites, given their small body structure. This is why you should never feed your chicken more than they can digest. Peaches may be a portion of ultimate health food but can harm your chicken if overfed.
It is ideal to restrict treats to twice a day to maintain your chicken's health. Moreover, overfeeding can lead to obesity, diabetes, and an upset stomach.
Slice peaches before feeding chickens
The ideal way to feed your chickens peaches is to cut them into thin, small cubes or slices. Peaches are already soft, and cutting them into cubes will make it easier to eat and digest. However, be mindful of the cubes' size since chickens are fast-eaters.
Other fruits, such as berries, also appeal to chickens due to their convenient size and interesting taste. You can consider them for your chickens if you want more variety in the feed you provide.
Nonetheless, you must be careful of the berries you feed chickens since some wild species can be poisonous.
Try to feed fresh peaches
Peaches taste the best when fed raw. Sometimes, you may lay peaches as a treat under a pile of hay and forget about it. Stale peaches taste horrible and contain harmful toxins that your chickens should not consume.
Thus, you should be careful of feeding chickens only fresh peaches.
Are there any risks of feeding chickens peaches?
Risks are natural when it comes to fruits, or any other food, whether raw or cooked. That said, it is always good to be aware of risks associated with certain foods to avoid health issues. Peaches are amazing for your chickens, but you must be mindful of the following risks.
No Canned Peaches
Canned peaches have artificial sweeteners and sugar for increasing shelf life and enhancing taste. Thus, it is strictly advised against feeding your chickens processed and canned peaches since it makes them sick.
Choking Hazard
Chickens have tiny, long beaks. They cannot eat large chunks or pieces of fruit. If they accidentally consume a large bite, they can choke. This may even be fatal.
As we have mentioned before, overeating can lead to obesity and several other health problems. Thus, it is important to control the amount of food you give your chickens. Peaches may seem harmless, but overeating can lead to digestion and other issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fun way to introduce peaches to my chickens?
Absolutely! You can hang peach cubes on a thin string and tie it on sturdy poles or sticks in their coop. This will make them jump and run around for their treat. Besides this, you can even hide peaches under hay to make your chickens work hard for the treat.
What else can I feed my chicken?
There are not many restrictions when it comes to chicken feed. You can add a variety of fruits, grains, vegetables, and pulses to your chicken's regular diet.
What should I refrain from feeding my chicken?
You should not feed your chicken avocado skins and pits, green potatoes, tomatoes, chocolates, or tea.
Summing Up
Chickens require a balanced diet to produce healthy eggs. They are not very fussy when it comes to food. And peaches? They love them!
Since peaches are fit fruits, several people wonder if it may be safe for chickens. It is safe, provided you keep the pit away from your chickens' feed.
Note: Pits contain amygdalin that further breaks down to cyanide, which is very dangerous. However, pits are extremely hard so there are rare chances of your chicken accidentally consuming them.
Moreover, you should remember to remove the seed at all times even though the risk of them eating it runs very low. So what are you waiting for? Slice and dice a peach and give your chicken a healthy treat!

A color ramp uses color to display its numeric value. You configure a color scale that consists of at least two arbitrary markers, each with a numeric value and a corresponding display color. As the input value changes, the color displayed changes to the color that corresponds to that value. Color ramps are useful for visually indicating data ranges, such as a warning range for when a gauge reaches dangerous values. For example, you can use a color ramp to set the color scale for intensity graphs and charts.
Complete the following steps to add and configure a color ramp.
- Right-click a dial, knob, or gauge and select Visible Items»Ramp from the shortcut menu to add a color ramp.
- Right-click the color ramp or a marker and select Marker Spacing»Arbitrary from the shortcut menu to switch the color ramp to arbitrary marker spacing.
- To change the value of an arbitrary marker on a color ramp, use the Operating tool to drag the marker to the value you want or use the Labeling tool to highlight the text of the marker and enter a new value. When you drag a marker, the cursor changes to to indicate the tool is over a marker.
- To add a new marker to the color ramp, right-click the position on the color ramp where you want to add a new marker and select Add Marker from the shortcut menu. LabVIEW adds a new marker to that location. You also can press the key while you drag an existing marker to the location where you want to add a marker.
(Mac OS X) Press the key. (Linux) Press the key.
- Use the Operating or Positioning tools to right-click the marker next to the color ramp and select Marker Color from the shortcut menu to change the color associated with a marker.
- Select the color you want from the color picker that appears.
- Resize the color ramp by moving the Positioning tool over one of the handles that appear on the midpoints of the color ramp. Drag the handle to the width you want.
||Note Meters have a visible color ramp by default.

(B) does not help because we are talking about relative temperatures, and the stimulus tells us that "the temperature in T is always at least 10 degrees lower than in C", so even if temperatures in C drop steeply at night, T is still 10 degrees colder than C, so why are C residents paying more for heating than C? Also, night temperatures are irrelevant to winter heating expenses.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Why Your Microgreens Smell or Have Mold & 6 Easy Fixes
Please share our content!
Moldy Microgreens
Are you experiencing a foul odor coming from your microgreens that you can't quite ignore? This smell not only makes for an unpleasant growing experience but if you are a commercial microgreens grower, then the microgreens can't be sold to customers. What a waste of microgreens!
So, why do the microgreens smell? Many reasons could be causing the microgreens to be smelling foul. Some of the reasons are root or stem rot, mold, humidity and temperature issues, and chemicals. All these problems relate to each other, and it's vital to eliminate any possible cause for the production of healthy and tasty microgreens.
Here are six surefire ways to get your microgreens healthy and smelling great in no time:
 1. Lower the seed density.
 2. Avoid overwatering.
 3. Water from the right angles.
 4. Optimize the temperature and humidity.
 5. Eliminate mold.
 6. Sanitize the growing medium.
The main culprits of smelly microgreens are usually mistakes gardeners make that go unnoticed. In this article, we will discuss six practical ways to prevent microgreens from smelling and we will find out more about what makes them smell bad in the first place.
Practical Fixes to Smelly Microgreens
Smelly microgreens are a nuisance and they also bring huge losses in profit. To avoid growing smelly microgreens, here are the fixes you can implement:
1. Lower the Seed Density
If seeds are tightly clustered together, air deficiency and poor drainage occur. Some of the plants could grow, but they'll end up being too congested. This could prompt root rot, which gives off terrible odors.
If you are having trouble with determining how much seed to put into your container, take a look at this great article from Home Microgreens – Seed Calculator.
2. Avoid Overwatering
Overwatering leads to the deficiency of oxygen and prompts root rot. But how much water is enough?
It's simple. The soil or other growing media should be moist, not wet. Experiment with different moderate amounts to determine the most favorable levels. Use this Soil Moisture Sensor from our Best Garden Tools page to determine the optimal amount in a specific growing area.
Simply check the microgreen plants every day and water if necessary. A good water sprayer or a self-watering system might also help if you are still struggling. Check out our True Leaf Market Products page for some helpful links to affordable options!
3. Water from the Correct Angles
While it's okay to water from the top when the seeds haven't germinated, that's not always the case for sprouted microgreens.
If microgreens have some leaves, start spraying water from the bottom. If plants are sprayed from the top, the dense stems will trap moisture and cause musty smells, which can escalate to plant rot.
4. Optimize Temperature and Humidity
In order to optimize temperature and humidity for microgreens, think about how this is accomplished in the home.
Humidification for plants occurs when they are watered. However, it is recommended to use a dehumidifier and an air fan to control humidity levels and promote aeration. Many microgreen farmers fail to optimize humidity and temperature, and it costs them big time. Be ahead of the game and grow fresh, smell-free microgreens.
5. Eliminate Mold
If mold is noticed that is making microgreens smelly, eradicate it before it spreads. Here are two ways to get rid of mold on microgreens:
 1. Make a weak mixture of water, white vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide to spray onto the plants.
 2. Place the microgreens in sunlight. Mold will dry up and die.
See how to remove and avoid mold from microgreens by following this advice from Urban Farmer Curtis Stone:
HOW TO: Avoid and Remedy Mould On Microgreens
6. Sanitize the Growing Medium
Microgreens might take in chemicals that lead to smells. To avoid this, ensure that the components of the growing medium are well researched.
Most organic microgreen growing pads are expensive. However, they are worth the price since they produce healthy, tasty greens with little issues when growing.
Also, use food-safe plastics to ensure no chemicals like lead from PVC are absorbed by microgreens to influence their smell.
Isaiah 41:10
Why Your Microgreens Smell
Now that you're aware of how to stop microgreens from smelling bad, it's important to understand what causes microgreens to smell. Depending on set up, the microgreens could be experiencing any of the following issues.
Root or Stem Rot
Damping Off Seedlings
Root and stem rot can be caused by heat stress, high humidity and lack of ventilation. All these factors go hand in hand because high temperatures plus high relative humidity without consistent airflow lead to air deficiency.
Sometimes, root rot is also caused by damping-off — a disease that's more prevalent in wet conditions.
If a swampy smell is noticed, then inspect the set up immediately. Roots or stems will begin rotting if the issue is not remedied quickly. If this happens, then the entire batch of microgreens will need to be thrown away because they are no longer safe to consume.
Check plants' stems and roots for discoloration if rotting is suspected. However, if microgreens' roots and stems seem to be turning into somewhat thin, thread-like structures, then they have rotted.
Do the microgreens smell like a poorly ventilated basement? This can mean that mold has begun growing. Mold is an enemy to humans everywhere. If it can degrade a strong ceiling, imagine the harm it can cause to microgreen plants.
Mold development in microgreens can be caused by excess humidity plus inadequate aeration. To prevent mold growth, ensure optimal humidity, temperature, and ventilation for microgreen growing.
But could mold be mistaken for root hairs? People make this mistake all the time. They end up throwing away perfectly healthy microgreens because they think root hairs are mold.
Here's how to distinguish mold from root hairs:
 - Mold affects parts of the batch while root hairs are even throughout the entire batch.
 - Mold appears towards the top while root hairs only appear at the bottom of the stem.
 - When water is poured on them, root hairs jump a bit while mold does not.
High Humidity Plus High Temperatures
Many novice microgreen growers think that a sauna effect, like that of a greenhouse, is the best way to grow microgreens. However, this is not true, and this could be the reason microgreens are smelling.
While ideal temperatures and humidity for growing different microgreens are somewhat particular to the specific species, 64 °F to 75 °F in temperature plus 40% to 60% relative humidity is favorable for most microgreens.
High humidity swells the plants and brings a musty odor to them. If it stays like that for a long time, fungal infections will occur that can worsen to root rot.
The cause of smelly microgreens could be that the growing medium used was made with chemicals of which the gardener wasn't aware. Furthermore, it could be the plastic pots in which plants are growing that include harmful chemicals. Either way, the chemicals might be causing microgreens to smell.
The medium in which plants are grown is really important. Always buy seeds, substrates, and plastics from certified sellers. They may be slightly more expensive than the non-certified ones, but it's worth the investment to be safe. Not to mention, buying from non-certified sellers is illegal and customers can be held liable by the law.
In Conclusion…
Microgreens are not like the mature plants grown in an open farm or greenhouse. They are delicate and susceptible to the slightest pathogens and harsh conditions. This may bring up undesirable smells in them.
Now that you understand what might be causing your microgreens to smell, you can use the above fixes to curb them and also learn to avoid them for good.

In electric power system, disturbance detection has become an important part of grid operation and refers to the detection of a voltage and current excursion caused by the wide variety of electromagnetic phenomena. This paper proposes a computationally efficient and robust algorithm for synchronized measurement technology (SMT) supported online disturbance detection, suitable for AC and HVDC grids. The proposed algorithm is based on the robust median absolute deviation sample dispersion measure to locate dataset outliers. The algorithm is capable of identifying the disturbance occurrence and clearance measurement sample based on the dynamic criteria, driven by present power system conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by real-time simulations using a cyber-physical simulation platform, as a co-simulation between the SMT supported electric power system model and underlying ICT infrastructure. The presented results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, making it suitable for an AC and HVDC online disturbance detection application or as a pre-step of backup protection schemes.

text: Abstract : Diabetic macular edema (DME) is characterized by hard exudates. In this article, we propose a novel statistical atlas based method for segmentation of such exudates. Any test fundus image is first warped on the atlas co-ordinate and then a distance map is obtained with the mean atlas image. This leaves behind the candidate lesions. Post-processing schemes are introduced for final segmentation of the exudate. Experiments with the publicly available HEI-MED data-set shows good performance of the method. A lesion localization fraction of 82.5% at 35% of non-lesion localization fraction on the FROC curve is obtained. The method is also compared to few most recent reference methods.

Travelling with pets: Pet passports to be introduced in July 2004
The European Commission today adopted a Decision establishing a model passport which will allow pets and their owners to travel more easily within the European Union. New EU legislation(1) comes into force in July 2004 which will mean all cats, dogs and ferrets will need a passport to travel. The pet passport, a veterinary document, will provide proof that the animal has been vaccinated against rabies. This is the sole requirement for pets to travel to all Member States except Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom(2). The passport can also contain details of other vaccinations, including those not required by law, as well as information on the animal's medical history.
David Byrne, the EU Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner said: "This is great news for pet owners like myself. A pet passport will be accepted throughout the EU as proof that a pet has received the anti-rabies vaccination. It also makes it easier for vets to learn about the pet's medical history. This is a significant step for the free movement of people and their pets and a step that was made possible by dramatic advances made in our fight against rabies. Rabies is now close to being totally eradicated from the EU".
Why do pets need passports?
Harmonised veterinary controls on the movement of animals between Member States for trade have been in place for some time. The same rules do not exist for pets. Member States require many different documents to prove a pet meets the veterinary conditions required for travel.
Regulation 998/2003 harmonised the rules on travelling with pets to make it easier for EU citizens and their cats or dogs to enjoy the freedom of movement within the Union. From 3 July 2004 the Regulation will require cats, dogs and ferrets to have a pet passport. It will provide proof that the animal has been vaccinated against rabies. This is the sole requirement for pets to travel to all Member States except Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
The pet passport will be accepted in all Member States. It can also contain details of other vaccinations and clinical examinations to give a clear picture of the animal's health status. This will facilitate veterinary checks and provide evidence of good health for a pet travelling to third countries free of rabies or where the disease is under control.
What will the passport look like?
The pet passport will measure 100 x 152 mm with a blue cover and the yellow stars of the European emblem. The languages used will be English and the official language of the Member State where the passport is issued. The words "European Union" and the name of the Member State will appear on the cover, along with the passport number which is the ISO code of the Member State followed by a unique number.
What difference will it make?
Travelling with pets will become much easier. All the different documents needed for travel into each Member State will be replaced by one veterinary document, the pet passport, which will be recognised across the EU. Visits to the vet will also become much more straightforward as the passport can instantly inform the vet about the pet's medical history.
More information: IP/02/950. If you would like to receive a copy of the passport electronically, please send an e-mail to _EMAIL_, indicating the language.
(1) Regulation 998/2003.
(2) Pets travelling to Ireland, Sweden and the United Kingdom from the rest of the EU need to have an antibody titration test several months after the rabies vaccination to check it has been effective. The UK and Ireland also require pets to be treated for ticks and tapeworm (echinococcus) as part of the Pets Travel Scheme (PETS). Pets travelling to Sweden need to follow different procedures according to the country of origin.

The role of nurses in recognising and reducing vulnerability
The role of nurses in recognising and reducing vulnerability
Who this event is for
 - Everyone
Jane Ashley Lecture Theatre, Marston Campus, Headington Campus, Marston Road site
Professor Ruth Northway explores the nature of vulnerability and argues that nurses have an important role to play in its reduction.
Is vulnerability inevitable in the context of health care? Some groups of people (such as those with learning disabilities or dementia) are often considered to be particularly vulnerable but this should not be an inevitable consequence of belonging to a specific group. It can be reduced or even eliminated if we understand what it is that people are vulnerable to - and then work to reduce these factors and their impact.
You will learn about recommendations for change, based on the importance of nurses recognising and responding to potential vulnerability in a proactive way, and the challenges of such an approach for nursing practice, education and research.


National Stress Awareness Day
04 November
Today is National Stress Awareness Day. Many stitchers will know of the benefits of any kind of craft that engages the hands, while satisfying the creative spark in our minds. What is not so well known is that stitching has been used as a form of therapy since the end of the First World War, when Ernest Thesiger, an actor who had served and been wounded in France, founded the 'Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Society' in order to help soldiers to augment their pensions. The additional benefits of stitching were a bonus – but of significant value to the individuals.
The charity 'Fine Cell Work 'works in prisons around the UK, teaching prisoners to stitch and create gifts that can be sold through the Fine Cell Work website. The benefits of stitching go far beyond the additional income for the individuals and provide a mental respite for the stitchers which is highly valued. Fine Cell Work supply completed cushions, glasses cases and other gifts, or kits for stitching at home.


Subtract two easy formulas does not work. why?
Hello everybody,
i want to subtract two simple COUNT formulas but it doesn't work.
However, if I look at the individual results, then I have a result.
what am I doing wrong?
Hi StevenB,
Could you please try the same using COUNT_TABLE.
COUNT_TABLE(table1.column1) - COUNT_TABLE(table2.column2).
Hope it will solve your problem.
Many Thanks.
Now I have a number as a result.
That's really great.
Unfortunately, the number is completely wrong (-141). :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
What is so difficult for Celonis to subtract 2 numbers?
Hi _USER_
With your query, you are introducing a join between the two tables. After the join was computed, the aggregation functions are applied. So the COUNT on the smaller table actually returns the number of rows after the join with the larger table - which is basically the number of rows of the larger table (not necessarily exactly, because NULL values are not being counted). But in your case, it returns 0 because both COUNT results are the same, because of the mentioned reason.
If you are familiar with SQL: There you would also have the same issue. If you do a Join between both tables and then use the COUNTs in the SELECT statement, you would end up with the same result.
The suggestion of _USER_ is good, as COUNT_TABLE counts the number of rows of a particular table, not taking potential joins into account. However, if you have NULL values in the columns, they are also counted here, in contrast to the COUNT functions, which is probably why you get a result which is not the one you are expecting.
So what you wanna do is, you want to calculate the COUNTs separately first before subtracting, such that no join is introduced. You can do this for example with a PU function using the CONSTANT child table option:
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table1"."Column") -
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table2"."Column")
If FILTERs should be taken into account, you can warp a FILTER_TO_NULL around the arguments:
If you want, you can also do this for one side only, for the other one you could also leave the COUNT, e.g.:
COUNT("Table1"."Column") -
Can you check if this works for you?

Civil disobedience is a way of expressing political opposition that pushes beyond what the law allows you to do, in terms of resistance. It is an act that says "we are deliberately breaking an unjust law." We often talk about it as a problem. In fact, I would argue that our problem is civil obedience. People too readily accept governments that do not hold to their promises.
My first brush with civil disobedience was when I was 15 and in the years since, I've learned a few things about its power, and its limitations. Here's a few of my lessons:
1. Nothing important comes without sacrifice

I was one of thousands of young people in South Africa that joined the national student protests against inequality in apartheid education. At that age, you don't always understand the wider context of your actions. The slogan at the front of the march was "we want equality", and at the back it was " we want a colour TV".
Despite this, what we were doing was important: we were resisting by refusing to go to classes and challenging the law that legally prohibited more than four people to march in the streets together. It was only here that I discovered that Nelson Mandela actually existed, and learned about the bigger picture of apartheid in South Africa. The media were restricted in how much they could report on him and so I had never seen his picture.
Following this I led a protest in my community with between 3,000-4,000 people, where the police charged at us with tear gas. The experience of participating in these acts early on affected me in a very direct sense. They taught me the important lesson that nothing important will come without sacrifice, commitment and courage.
2. Stay positive: first they will fight you, but then you will win

South Africa has a strong connection to Gandhi. It was during his time there that he learned his politics, and honed his Satyagraha, which means passive resistance or civil disobedience as we now tend to call it.
There was always a photo of Gandhi in my family home and he was an influential figure for me as I was growing up. I developed a strong adherence to his notion of "soul force". For me, this translated as the importance of being willing to take the violence of the state. The moral authority to take this stance means that ultimately you will succeed in your mission.
My favourite quote is from Gandhi and it is one that is so relevant to civil disobedience today: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win". If you look at the situation Greenpeace is in, they are fighting us really hard in the courts, they are invading our privacy and preventing our actions. But Gandhi's philosophy makes me optimistic that this is a positive indication that we are closing in on the changes we are campaigning for.
3. When governments respond with force, they help to grow the movement
Arctic 30

The power of civil disobedience as a strategy lies in its moral authority. If you have numbers, diversity of voices, and are able to maintain a peaceful event, then it can be immensely powerful. It speaks to the oppressed and the oppressor in different ways. To the oppressed, or the people affected, it gives them strength to continue their struggle. To the oppressors, exceptional acts of moral courage force them to listen.
The recent Arctic 30 campaign and the arrests it incurred on many activists, myself included, is a good example of this. It is clear that when I was up a rig on the oil ship being bombarded with water for 15 hours, I wasn't doing it for selfish reasons, and nor were any of the Arctic 30 doing it for personal gain. It was remarkable how many heads of state then came out and called for the release of the arrested activists. Governments badly miscalculate when they respond to civil disobedience by throwing activists in prison and assuming this will terrify the public. In fact, the effect is always the opposite: it helps to grow the movement. It forces those in power to recalibrate and recognise the democratic intent of what activists are trying to achieve.
4. Be patient, failure is integral to the path to progress

You could say most acts of civil disobedience fail because they don't get results immediately. In the case of Arctic 30 they failed because oil was eventually drilled and removed from the area. But on the flipside, we now have more than 10 million people campaigning to have the Arctic declared a global sanctuary with no industrial activities. It is important to remember that not everything that counts can be measured.
We can learn from those who have engaged in civil disobedience in the past that it wasn't their first action that delivered their result. For Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, it was an accumulation of lots of different actions over a long time.
5. Explore the potential of digital civil disobedience

Wikileaks and the Edward Snowden NSA revelations created an opportunity for people to know what governments were hiding from them and have changed the whole debate around privacy. These are good examples of digital civil disobedience.
I think the social media space has thrown up a lot of possibilities for civil disobedience, protest and the strengthening of civil society generally. When you look at resistance during the Arab spring, people used Facebook to spread the word, Twitter to tell people where to be when, and YouTube to document and share what they experienced and what they achieved. The question is what laws do you break online in terms of pushing that space? At Greenpeace we are trying to make sense of this new area but the future looks promising.
Today, unlike 50 years ago there are lots of forums for engagement between civil society and those in business and government. This is evident at UN meetings, where national civil society groups are invited to take part of the consultative process. I think we've long chased after some sort of explosion of democracy, and the idea that success would be when governments wanted to talk to us. But I think we should beware of the value of some of these engagements. Sometimes they are more insults than anything else, just a box-ticking exercise. We may need a different measure of meaningful progress.

The present study evaluated the effects of climate variability on maize (Zea mays L.) yield in Sri Lanka at different spatial scales. Biophysical data from the Department of Agriculture (DOA) in Sri Lanka for six major maize-growing districts (Ampara, Anuradhapura, Badulla, Hambantota, Moneragala, and Kurunegala) from 1990 to 2010 were analyzed. Simple linear regression models were fitted to observed climate data and detrended maize yield to identify significant correlations. The correlation between first differences of maize yield and climate (r) was further investigated at 0.50° grid scale using interpolated climate data. After 2003, significantly positive (p < 0.01) yield trends varied from 154 kg ha–1 yr–1 to 360 kg ha–1 yr–1. The correlations between maize yield and climate reported that five out of six districts were significant at 10% level. Rainfall had a consistent significant (p < 0.10) positive impact on maize yield in Anuradhapura, Hambantota, and Moneragala, where seasonal total rainfall together with high temperature ("hot-dry") are the key limitations. Further, the seasonal mean temperature had a negative impact on maize yield in Moneragala ("hot-dry"), the only district that showed high temperatures. Badulla district ("cold-dry") reported a significant (r = 0.38) positive correlation with mean seasonal temperature, indicating higher potential toward increasing temperatures. Each 1°C rise in seasonal mean temperature reduced maize yield by about 5% from 1990 to 2010. Overall, there was a reasonable correlation between district maize yield and seasonal climate in most of the districts within the maize belt of Sri Lanka.

Gross negligence under Greek law
Gross negligence in Greek law is not explicitly defined in the Civil Code. It is derived from the combined application of articles 330, 332 and 334 of the Civil code. In the lack of an express definition and specific criteria for it, gross negligence is deemed to exist when the deviation from the behavior of an ordinary person is important, unusual and especially great, indicating a total disregard of the acting person for the illegal consequences incurred by his act to a third party by. Gross negligence is an abstract legal notion, and hence a court's ruling as to whether the facts of a case constitute gross negligence is subject to the annulment of the Areios Pagos (Supreme Court).
Gross negligence does not comprise cases of willful misconduct. The latter is equal to deceit (either direct, indirect or necessary deceit). In cases of gross or simple negligence, the person at fault either does not foresee the upcoming result of his actions or he foresees it but acts in the hope that he will avoid it.

Atomic-Pile Heat Warms Buildings (May, 1952)
Atomic-Pile Heat Warms Buildings
From an atomic "furnace" that will need "stoking" only once in 30 years, British engineers are taking heat to warm the radiators of 80 offices. The experimental atomic pile is located at Harwell, Britain's atomic-research station. About 180,-000 cubic feet of air per minute are used in cooling the pile, and the engineers decided this hot air could be put to work heating near-by buildings. Now the high-temperature air is passed through heat exchangers which transmit the heat to water. The heat is transferred to a secondary circuit which passes through conventional radiators in the buildings.

Surrender vs Submission vs Capitulation
Surrendersubmissioncapitulation denote the act of yielding up one's person, one's forces, or one's possessions to another person or power.
Surrender usually implies a state of war and present domination by a victor or by an admittedly stronger power; in addition it often also implies the immediate cessation of fighting
Submission often implies surrender (as of an army, its supplies, and its fortifications), but it stresses the acknowledgment of the power or authority of another and often suggests loss of independence; it is used especially of those who rebel or of those whose weak condition leaves them at the mercy of a stronger power or subject to its threats. Unlike surrender, submission often implies not a previous state of war but a threat of disastrous warfare.
Capitulation also implies surrender, but it suggests a conditional one on terms agreed upon between the parties or the commanders of the forces concerned.

If you have problems reducing the colors on a raster image try the following.
Combine automatic and manual reduction
Use a combination of automatic and manual color reduction.
For example, if you have a 256 color image that you want to reduce to 16 colors, you could try reducing it to 32 colors automatically and then making the final reduction manually using Palette Menu > View/Edit Palette.
Rescan the drawing
Color reduction will not work well on muddy, wishy-washy colors.
Experiment with your scanner's brightness and contrast settings and rescan the drawing so that the colors on the raster image are as high contrast, vibrant and saturated as possible.
Thin the raster image before reducing the colors
Some raster images have lines with "haloes" that are not the same color as the main line. To resolve this problem, try thinning the image before you reduce the colors.
Despeckle the raster image after reducing the colors
Despeckle the raster image after reducing the colors to make the reduced color areas more uniform.
Vectorize the image using the Vector Colors to Raster Colors method
If you can't reduce the colors acceptably or it is taking too long, try vectorizing the raster image using the Vector Colors to Raster Colors method.

Implementation intention as a cognitive strategy in STEM education : assessing pre-algebraic performance in 8th grade math instruction.
Access rightsNo access - Contact _EMAIL_
Nguyen, Megan, 1991-

Conceptualization of STEM has been a challenge due to varying perspectives within schools, school districts, and instructors. Implementation intention refers to a memory encoding strategy in which individuals explicitly specify retrieval cues to help them remember to perform goal directed actions. This study's objective was to examine if the integration of implementation intention encoding would differ from STEM students to students in a traditional classroom. Moreover, comparing math performance between students trained and not trained in an implementation intention strategy. Results from a 2 X 2 ANOVA test and reported means indicate that participants in the treatment groups at both schools performed better than their control counterparts. Additionally, there is a significant main effect for the STEM school participants overall compared to the traditional school participants. Effectiveness of implementation intention encoding suggests that it would be beneficial for educators to incorporate the strategy into instruction to produce self-regulated mathematical learners.


Action Games
Chubby Bunny Game
Summary: A hilarious action game that involves stuffing marshmallows in your mouth and trying to yell, "Chubby Bunny!"
Ages: 10 and up. Recommended number of players: 3 and up. Messiness factor: Have a trash can and paper towels ready for a marshmallow mess. Materials required: A few bags of medium to large sized marshmallows.
Chubby Bunny
Chubby Bunny is a simple yet hilarious game that involves adding marshmallows to players' mouths, one at a time, and getting players to yell the words "Chubby Bunny."
How to play: Have three or more players go to the front of the room. Have paper towels or a large trash can ready, as this game can end up being a bit messy. Open up a bag of medium to large sized marshmallows. Give a marshmallow to each player, and have them insert it into their mouth. Do not let them chew or swallow the marshmallow. After each player has inserted a marshmallow in their mouth, each player takes turns screaming, "Chubby Bunny!"
If each person is successful in yelling the words with the marshmallow in their mouth, they survive and continue playing the game. Give each player another marshmallow. They must insert this marshmallow and yell "Chubby Bunny!" again. This process continues, and each player's mouth will start to become full of marshmallows. As long as the player can yell "Chubby Bunny" successfully without losing any marshmallows out of their mouth, they keep playing. When a person is unable to yell "Chubby Bunny," they are out of the game.
Warning: Be careful! This game can lead to choking if improperly played. Always supervise players. Safety first!

Although corn (or maize) is considered a whole grain, when referred to in powder form, corn flour is not considered to be the same as whole grain flour. Whole grain flour typically refers to wheat flour derived from grinding whole grain into flour.


Impact of taxes on the profitability of projects
China Mining Taxation Workshop – Organised by the Australian Canadian Mining Industry Working Group (ACMIWG), Beijing, China, September 2003
This paper calculates the optimum tax rate for the mining industry.
This study looked at the profitability and level of taxation within the Western World mining industry. Over the 20 year period _PHONE_, the industry only generated an average return of 4.6% to shareholders.
The average tax rate paid by the industry was 39%. This includes corporate taxes and royalties, but excludes indirect taxes. An analysis of the Australian Mining industry shows that these indirect taxes can be very significant – and the overall effective tax rate is 50%.
While the overall returns generated by the mining industry may be low, individual mines may be spectacularly profitable. Indeed, it is the hope of finding such a mine that drives the industry to continue to operate in the face of poor profitability from its existing assets!
Detailed modelling was carried out on the economics of 1000 largest known copper deposits in the world. The aim was to firstly determine how many of these would be built today assuming a given set of tax rules and hurdles. And secondly, if developed, how would the economic benefit be shared between the developer and the government?
Intuitively, if the tax rate is too high, no mines get built and no one benefits. If the tax rate is too low then lots of mines will be built but the Government's revenues may be low (and restricted to the indirect taxes on inputs). But on the other hand, the Government has to provide incentives to industry to find the deposits (and cover the cost of the unsuccessful exploration).
The analysis found that the optimum tax rate depends on the level of business risk. In low-risk countries like Australia the optimum rate is around 50% (which is where the effective tax rate currently is). However, in high-risk countries the optimum rate is 20 – 30%. A key message from this is that High-Risk countries should benchmark their tax rates against their peers rather than against low-risk countries like Australia or Canada.
The paper concludes that there are three actions a Government can do to maximise its return from mining. These are:
 1. Set the tax rate at the right level
 2. Lower the cost of exploration
 3. Lower the level of business risk
The last factor has the largest impact!
