Gerbils And Exercise Wheels
How do you get gerbils to use an exercise wheel?
By Donna Anastasi
Posted: May 17, 2010, 2:40 p.m. EDT
Q: I have three gerbils living together in a 20-gallon long tank setup. None of them ever run on the wheel that I have in their cage. They mostly use it to burrow under. Is there a way to teach them to use a wheel, if it would be beneficial to their health?
A: The best type of wheel for gerbils is an 8-inch diameter, wire mesh (not slatted or plastic) wheel. A gerbil's tail could get caught in an old-style slatted wheel, and gerbils will chew a plastic wheel to bits. Some gerbils like a wheel and others don't.
The best way to get gerbils to run on a wheel is to offer a wheel when they are young, at about 5 weeks old. Wire it to the mesh lid of their tank so it hangs a few inches above the litter. Gerbils like the challenge of jumping and climbing on a wheel, and once inside may run on it. Try wiring the wheel so it holds still until they get used to sitting in it, then unwire it so it moves and they can run in it.
A final tip is that gerbils learn from watching gerbils in other tanks. If you ever go away and have someone with wheel-aholic gerbils babysit yours, you might come back to see your gerbils happily running in their wheel!
If your gerbils never take to the wheel, give them other things for exercise. Some examples are: a metal climbing structure or a branch from the reptile section of the pet store, deep litter to dig and burrow in, a dust bath to roll in, timothy hay, unscented toilet tissue, a PVC pipe as a tunnel, and plenty of cardboard boxes and tubes to gnaw up.

Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs
Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs
Which face is much more desirable? You share the tastes of most heterosexual men if you chose the face on the left. It really is a face that is composite or "morph", made of the faces of eight ladies with unusually little legs. The facial skin regarding the right is a morph of eight women with unusually feet that are large.
It is quite a significant difference, isn't it? Females with smaller legs have actually prettier faces, at the very least in accordance with the males whom participated in this research. Therefore do ladies with extended thigh bones and narrower sides, also ladies who are taller overall. Therefore the competition is not also a close one. "These will be the many strikingly various morphs I've ever seen, " claims Jeremy Atkinson, a psychologist that is evolutionary the University at Albany, ny.
Atkinson and their colleague Michelle Rowe measured hand size, base size, thigh length and hip width on 60 white feminine students, then modified each dimension to take into account specific variations in overall height. For every single of 16 body-part dimensions, they selected the eight females because of the shortest lengths as well as the eight aided by the longest, and constructed morphs of the faces. These morphs had been then ranked for attractiveness by 77 heterosexual male students.
The males had been three-and-a-half times as more likely to find the short-footed morph as more desirable, and very nearly 10 times as prone to state it had been more feminine, Atkinson and Rowe discovered.
Likewise, these were significantly more than 11 times as very likely to select the narrow-hipped morph as more appealing, and eight times as more likely to pick the long-thighed morph, the scientists reported at a gathering of this Human Behavior and Evolution community in Eugene, Oregon, final month.
Tough beginnings
Atkinson believes guys find these features attractive simply because they act as markers of the healthier youth. Continue reading "Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs"

News Content Perspective of TV One and Metro TV in Seeing Indonesia Government Policy
In the new order era, media is chained and regarded as a mouthpiece of New Order government. After 17 years the fall of the New Order regime, some of the media in Indonesia still can never escape from the intervention, particularly media owners. This research aims to determine the differences of political perspective of two television media toward the government. The research used qualitative method which relies on secondary data through documentation. The results indicate that the political orientation of the media owners had intervened the media perspective against the government. Media cannot be an objective watchdog of the government, because the news on the televisions is subjective. The media, such as TV One and Metro TV, have different agenda and perspective. The setting of a resource as well as the communications attitude of the TV One host shows its role as a government watchdog. Metro TV has a different attitude; there is tendency to be more cooperative and accommodating with government and the policies of President Joko Widodo.

Probabilistic Analysis of Random Test Generation Method for Irredundant Combinational Logic Networks
Issue No. 07 - July (1975 vol. 24)
P. Agrawal, Department of Electrical Engineering-Systems, University of Southern California
In this paper the random test generation method for large logic circuits is analyzed. Formulas for the detection probability and the number of random input patterns required to complete the test generation with a high probability are obtained for an irredundant fan-out-free combinational network tree consisting of identical n-input NAND gates. The quantitative estimates for the number of random input patterns required for test generation appear to depend upon the number of levels in the circuit and the fan-ins of the gates. Experimental results for actual computer logic circuits are given and show the validity of the approach.
Combinational networks, detection probability, fault detection, path sensitizing, probabilistic analysis of logic, random test generation.

Maximum altitude of airplanes
Name: janette l gubala
Date: Around 1995
How high can an airplane go?
Well, an "airplane" can go fly as high as it is designed for. More specifically, fighter planes have been known to go to around 90,000+ feet.
Experimental planes (X15) can go much higher if need be. It all depends on
the type of engine being used. Jet engines cannot be used in highly
rarified (thin) air, because they are air-breathing in nature. Rocket
engines can be use at any altitude, including space.
I thought the official altitude record for a jet powered aircraft was around
80,000 feet, set by the SR-71 Blackbird, although the actual altitude
achievable by the Blackbird is still classified. Experimental aircraft like
the X-15 that can go higher are rocket powered.

Visual String Transformation using Damerau-Levenshtein distance in T-SQL
The fuzzy-string matrix below shows one of the simplest ways to transform
4 Changes are required, so
4 is the
Distance between the strings, which is 57.14% of the longer length.
(A large percentage means the strings are very different;
a small distance means the strings are very similar. More explanation follows the matrix;
technical details and SQL source code can be found at SQLServerCentral.)
Visually follow the simplest path of Changes from top-left to bottom-right in bold.
Each cell displays the cumulative number of Changes required to arrive there,
and what type of Change is required to arrive there from the previous cell, as follows:
- Equality (e): Move diagonally down right, because there is no Change (the letters from String1 and String2 match).
- Substitute (s): Move diagonally down right, by replacing the letter from String1 with the different letter from String2.
- Delete (d): Move down from the previous row, by removing the letter from String1.
- Insert (i): Move right from the previous column, by adding the letter from String2.
- Transpose (t): Move diagonally down and right twice as one Change, by swapping the letter from String1 with the next one.
Calculation of Changes starts from the top-left cell.
(You can hover your mouse pointer over each cell to see the calculations.)
To produce the numbers in each cell,
the first (0th) row and column are initialized with the positions of the letters in the strings.
For each cell after that, the number of Changes required to arrive there is calculated as the minimum of:
- Equality (e): The Changes from the cell diagonally above left (if the letters from String1 and String2 match).
- Substitute (s): The Changes from the cell diagonally above left, plus one (if the letters from String1 and String2 are different).
- Delete (d): The Changes from the cell above, plus one.
- Insert (i): The Changes from the cell to the left, plus one.
- Transpose (t): The Changes from the cell diagonally above left twice, plus one (if the current letters are swapped with the cell above left).
Upon arrival at the bottom-right cell, the total number of Changes is known.
If that number is all you are interested in, you can stop calculation.
But when you want to see the simplest path,
it is determined by working backwards from bottom-right to top-left,
following the direction of the minimum Change in each cell.
(If the top or left edge is reached before the top-left cell,
then the type of Change in the remaining cells is overwritten,
with Inserts or Deletes respectively.)
Shortcuts are available, if you want to stop comparison when the strings are determined to be "too different"
(that is, after more than a certain number of Changes have been identified). You can visualize these by selecting a Change Limit above:
- At any point in the comparison, the best case is that the rest of the strings are identical,
which would mean traveling down the diagonal ending at bottom-right.
Therefore, you can stop at the first of those cells (highlighted silver) that has too many Changes (in red text).
- Once the simplest Change path has diverged too much from the diagonal ending at bottom-right, only more Changes can bring it back.
Therefore, you need only calculate the cells in a stripe within your desired Change Limit
to either side of the diagonal.
The Changes in the uncalculated cells directly above and to the left of the calculated area can be assumed to be the Change Limit plus one.
If the strings are different lengths, the stripe is narrowed by that difference,
which is the distance between the diagonal starting at top-left (highlighted white)
and the diagonal ending at bottom-right,
because the optimal path must stay within the Change Limit of both diagonals.
- Comparison is guaranteed to stop, so there is no need to calculate at all,
if the Change Limit is less than the difference in lengths between the strings.
Also, comparison is guaranteed to succeed, so there is no need to calculate at all,
if the Change Limit is not less than the length of the longer string
(because then every letter could be different).
Caveat: There may be other equally simple ways (same number of Changes) to transform String1 to String2, but no simpler way.
Except, because this is the "direct" Damerau extension of the Levenshtein algorithm (allowing each substring to be modified only once), there may be a simpler way in the following scenarios:
- Transpose two letters, and then insert a sequence of letters between them (TO→OST theoretically could be just 2 Changes, but this implementation will report 3).
- Delete a sequence of letters, and then transpose the two letters that have become adjacent (OST→TO theoretically could be just 2 Changes, but this implementation will report 3).
(We are willing to accept that limitation, because those scenarios are unlikely to be accidental typographical errors, and the intent here is to count unintentional human errors.)
Note also that since only single letters are compared, Unicode Canonical Equivalence of multi-character sequences cannot be considered here
(strings must be normalized before comparison).
Although this site uses a binary collation for comparison (for complete case-sensitivity and accent-sensitivity),
you can choose to implement this code with a different collation.

Angel Eye Bay-Res Water-Cooling Reservoir
Manufacturer: Angel Eye USA
Reservoir and Installation
Why use a reservoir?
The use of a reservoir in a PC water-cooling system is optional. For many the advantages of using a reservoir outweigh the disadvantages. Reservoirs come in many different shapes, sizes and styles. Some contain a submerged pump while others do not and are connected inline. The Angel Eye Bay-Res is an inline reservoir. This means you can pretty much plumb it wherever you want in the water-cooling system. My personal preference is to have the reservoir connected directly ahead of the pump.
Advantages of using a reservoir:
 - Provides an easily accessible fill point
 - Serves as an air trap to help remove air bubbles
 - Provides a reserve volume of water to make up for losses that occur over time
 - Can help reduce NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) of the pump
 - Allows for expansion and contraction of the systems water volume
Disadvantages of using a reservoir:
 - Can be bulky – may be hard to locate in small systems
 - Potential source of flow restriction and leaks
The two most obvious advantages of using a reservoir are providing an easy access point to fill or add water to the system and helping get rid of trapped air bubbles, especially during startup. When you first setup a system, there will always be some air bubbles circulating around in the water. These air bubbles must be removed for optimum performance (water transports heat a lot more efficiently than air).
As the water enters the relatively large volume of the reservoir, the water velocity will decrease (don't confuse velocity with flow – the overall flow rate will remain constant in a closed system). Air bubbles can become trapped in a high velocity fluid stream and may only rise to the surface when the water velocity slows down enough to release them.
In general the higher the overall system flow rate, the larger the reservoir volume will need to be to effectively remove air from the system. Remember though, just because you may have a pump that is rated at 300 GPH free flow, doesn't mean you will have anywhere near that amount in a real system. In addition to the total volume, the shape of the reservoir and use of baffles and/or screens can have a large affect on a reservoir's ability to remove trapped air bubbles. The Bay-Res Rev. 2 incorporates a center baffle, which forces the water to flow down one side and back the other. This helps minimize turbulence and gives the air bubbles a greater chance to reach the surface.
One of the nice features of an inline reservoir is that you can place it most anywhere you want in your system. This means the Bay-Res can go in the top, middle or bottom drive bay. Now some people think that having the reservoir at the highest point in the case is best since air bubbles rise to the highest point, right? Well actually, no. Air bubbles will only freely rise to the highest point when there is no flow. The normal flow in an operating system is usually enough to keep air bubbles trapped and circulating in the coolant stream. Only when the water velocity decreases in the reservoir do the air bubbles have a chance to slow down and rise to the surface.
Installing the Bay-Res in an open 5.25" drive bay was much like installing a typical optical drive. The reservoir is held in place with the four supplied screws. Having a case that uses sliding drive bay rails is a big advantage – it allows quickly and easily sliding the reservoir out for filling or topping off the system.
If your case does not have sliding bay rails then you will have to remove the reservoir mounting screws before you can slide the reservoir forward for filling or topping off the system. Alternately, if the bay(s) above the reservoir are empty, that can also provide access to the fill port.
I generally find that mounting the Bay-Res in the lower 5.25" drive bay works the best for me as it keeps the reservoir below the optical drives (just in case we experience a leak) and the tubing more closely lines up with other components (like the waterblock). In reality, with the option of using either straight or 90º fittings, you can place it in any drive bay you choose.

[teacherartexchange] wedging clay
From: San D Hasselman (shasselman_at_TeacherArtExchange)
Date: Fri Sep 11 2009 - 07:24:52 PDT
Easiest way to wedge clay:
Take clay and make a brick out of it by pounding all six sides. In other words, slam it down on the floor making one side, rotate it 1/4 turn, slam it and make another "side", rotate it 1/4 turn, make another "side" turn it 1/4 turn and make the last side of the brick. Then slam both ends down one at a time. Keep doing this rotation for 3 times. (I use the floor, but you certainly can slam on a counter or table). Then when you cut it in half to check for airbubbles, viola, no air bubbles. Beats trying to explain to them the wedging process,and works every time.

Assessing The Impact Of Railway Restructuring In Nigeria
The study presents railway restructuring as a solution option to railway problems in Nigeria. It aims at ascertaining the efficiency of the critical input factors of Nigerian Railway corporation (NRC) while comparing it with that of the restructured developed and best practices railways to establish the basis for restructuring. A manpower survey was carried out. Benchmarking method was used to determine the best restructuring model for Nigeria. Descriptive statistical tools and simulation model were also used in carrying out the analysis. In this respect, we identified low investment, low technological capacity and capability, low productivity unreliable services, High operating ratios, weak administration, obsolete equipment and technology, low motivation and large labour force as the most severe problems to overcome. Against this background, the implication of railway restructuring in Nigeria for development was examined. The simulation results show that the restructured railways in Nigeria would save time, increase the number of traffic and increase revenue generation. The study concluded that there is a wide gap between NRC and the best practices and restructured railways as a result of the observed inefficiencies in all the critical input factors. We recommend among others the adoption of the concessional model, the repeal of the 1995 railway acts as amended to make the railway market in Nigeria contestable and viable.

Blancco Drive Eraser issue report is a detailed report that contains additional system information and log files which can be used to understand and reproduce a problem that has occurred with Blancco Drive Eraser. The issue report file is encrypted and it can only be opened by Blancco personnel. The issue report file's default name is in the following format: "". If the issue report file is opened, for example with some text editor software, the following comment line will be shown: "issue". This comment entry makes it possible to quickly tell the difference between a normal report, an issue report and a crash report.
If you are having a problem with the Blancco Drive Eraser, and the most common troubleshooting tips and user manual instructions do not seem to help, it is time to contact Blancco's Technical Support team. When contacting Technical Support, it is important to include the Blancco Drive Eraser issue report in the contact ticket. It is recommended that the issue report file should be zipped before adding it as an attachment.
To collect the issue report:
Drive Eraser:
 1. Connect a USB memory stick to the computer.
 2. Click the Report issue button, or press F2.
 3. Select the USB memory device from the "Select media" list.
 4. It is recommended to use the default issue report name, but it is fine to add more details to the file name (for example if you are sending more than one issue report).
 5. Write a problem description to the "Problem description" field.
 6. Click "Save" to save the report on a USB stick, or click "Send" to send the issue report to Blancco Management Console.
Management Console:
Is used when erasure control is set to "Management Console" on Blancco Drive Eraser.
 1. Navigate to Live Management page under Process Management.
 2. Select correct Drive eraser session.
 3. Select "Fetch Issue report" from Manage Session drop menu.
 4. Write a problem description to the "Comment" field.
 5. Refresh "Live Management" page and download issue report from "Manage Session" Drop menu.
In addition to collecting the issue report, there should a description of the technical issue included in the support ticket:
 - What is the exact problem?
 - Was there some specific error message?
 - What steps were taken before the problem occurred?
The best moment to collect the issue report is right after the problem has occurred. For example: An erasure process has been finished, but Blancco Drive Eraser reports "Verification failed" for all of the hard drives, even though there should be no obvious reason for this to happen. Now is the best moment for collecting the issue report. The whole erasure process has been completed, and now the issue report log files will more likely show what went wrong in the verification part of the process. If the issue report is collected right after Blancco Drive Eraser is started, and before the verification part fails, then the log files will only provide process details up that point.
In some cases it is not possible to save the issue report (for example system crashes during startup, software freezes during erasure, etc.). In cases like these there is a possibility to collect a Blancco Drive Eraser crash report (Blancco 5 version 5.8.0 or newer).

So, if a pig nudges you and you move away, the pig may assume that she has won the dominance game and has become your boss.
Do pet pigs bite?
Pigs sometimes lash out and bite, usually either out of fear or out of lack of discipline. Although wild pigs may show a lot of aggression, domesticated pigs kept as pets are not likely to bite or harm humans unless it has a good reason to do so. That's okay, pigs still make the best pets.

Do pigs get attached to their owner?
Spending even just a few months together with a pig can be enough for them to recognize their owners. Pigs are capable of remembering other things aside from fellow animals and people. It is in fact, easy to earn a pig's affection. When they do, they can become loyal and deeply attached.
Do pet pigs stink?
Pig owners quickly realize their pigs must learn to go outside like all other animals. 3. Pigs are generally clean animals and odorless because they don't sweat. Their bodies are clean but their snouts are always covered in mud, leaves, or yogurt.
How much do Juliana pigs cost?
Those cute piglets can cost between $1,200 and $6,500 a pop and can weigh a whopping 200 pounds once they mature.

The 'Scorpion King' Mace head
When was it made and why is it so large?
Egyptian Mace head, AN1896-1908.E3632
When was it made?
About 3100 BC, in the period immediately preceding the unification of Upper and Lower (southern and northern) Egypt under one king - traditionally identified as a powerful ruler from the south.
Why is it so large?
This macehead is about five times the size of a functional one. It's decorated with scenes carved in low relief, and was made for dedication in the temple of the falcon god at Hierakonpolis, possibly to celebrate a victory.

Here's a quick summary about what I'm trying to do: Let's say I got two layers. One (A) with 10 polygons and one that is more granular with 100 polygons (B). Just to check if the behavior of PostGIS and ArcMap is the same, I would like to select all polygons in B that are under a polygon in A. Since the sum of all polygons of both layer got the same shape, all polygons of B should be selected. If I do that in ArcMap, everything works fine (100 of 100 polygons selected). If I use the following statement in PostGIS, some of the polygons are not in the resultset (about 10%):
SELECT layer_a.gid, layer_b.gid FROM layer_a, layer_b WHERE ST_Contains(layer_a.geom, layer_b.geom);
No I want to be more specific. Let's say I'd like to select all Polygons from B that are under a specific polygon from A with a polygon_id = 1. For this I use the following statement:
SELECT layer_a.gid, layer_b.gid FROM layer_a, layer_b WHERE ST_Contains(layer_a.geom, (SELECT layer_b.geom WHERE layer_by.polygon_id = '1');
But now, I get a empty resultset and I really don't know why. Could somebody explain me this behavior? Note: I just imported shape files without assigning a special SRID or something like this. I appreciate any help. :)

Looks like ST_Contains is the correct function. Two things come to mind that could cause the results you are getting. First, invalid geometries can silently cause all kinds of trouble. Run a query similar to the following on both of your tables:
SELECT gid AS invalid_gid
 FROM layer_a
 WHERE NOT St_IsValid(geom);
Second issue could be that the polygons do not actually have the topological properties that you think they do. Replace St_Contains with St_Intersects and that should help to inform you. Let me know what that yields.
Your second query appears to have typos, but should look more like this:
SELECT layer_a.gid, layer_b.gid
 FROM layer_a, layer_b
 WHERE layer_b.polygon_id = 1
 AND St_Contains(layer_a.geom, layer_b.geom)

Hey Scro, I tried it with your statement and rechecked the results from ArcMap and now its looks good. Seems that I had it wrong. I thought ST_Contains would do this job for me, but now it know, that ST_Contains only selects Polygons that are completly in/under the other polygon. And ST_Intersects selects all polygons that intersects with the bigger one. Looks good now. Thank you very much! :] – Chronnie Mar 14 '13 at 12:46

Dead Children's Playground – Huntsville, Alabama - Atlas Obscura
Dead Children's Playground
Cemeteries can be boring for kids. The weight and import of death has not truly sunk in yet, so the cool headstones and elaborate grave markers must just seem like awesome rocks to play on, but no one will let them. They are going to live forever, so why is everyone so sad?
Well in a park space adjoining Alabama's Maple Hill Cemetery, the largest and oldest in the state, there is a small playground where they can have a place to release that energy. Of course this cemetery playground sees more ghost hunters and teenagers than bored children.
It seems like simple math that a sparse playground built on the grounds of a century-old cemetery would come to have a reputation more sinister than silly, but the planners put it in anyway.The small array of simple playground equipment includes swings, and a modern jungle gym. It is set in a low spot of the graveyard and surrounded by rocks and trees on three sides, making it all the more claustrophobic.
As the historic cemetery began running out of room in 2007, officials from the city of Huntsville decided to raze the play area to make room for more burials. Yet the locals were so outraged at the loss of their playground that a new playground was built, bringing the site back from the dead, so to speak.
Today the playground is known to locals as Dead Children's Playground and the mundane site has accumulated a deep catalogue of supernatural associations. As the believers would tell it, the swings can often be found to sway by themselves, spheres of cold ghost light can be seen floating around, and even the spectres of little kids have been spotted having a little midnight fun.
Dead Children's Playground, where kids can have the time of their afterlife.
Know Before You Go
The playground is located at the end of Newport Drive which is just off of McClung Ave SE. You can use Google Maps to map you there by typing in Dead Children's Playground. To access the park from inside the cemetery, you can park near section 40 and walk up the hill. You'll see a pavilion and the park is just the left of that.

BACKGROUND. Children treated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts to manage hydrocephalus frequently develop shunt failure and/or infections, conditions that present with overlapping symptoms. The potential life-threatening nature of shunt infections requires rapid diagnosis; however, traditional microbiology is time consuming, expensive, and potentially unreliable. We set out to identify a biomarker that would identify shunt infection.
METHODS. CSF was assayed for the soluble membrane attack complex (sMAC) by ELISA in patients with suspected shunt failure or infection. CSF was obtained at the time of initial surgical intervention. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic potential of sMAC in pyogenic-infected versus noninfected patients.
RESULTS. Children with pyogenic shunt infection had significantly increased sMAC levels compared with noninfected patients (3,211 ± 1,111 ng/ml vs. 26 ± 3.8 ng/ml,
CONCLUSION. Elevated CSF sMAC levels are both sensitive and specific for diagnosing pyogenic shunt infection and may serve as a useful prognostic biomarker during recovery from infection.
FUNDING. This work was supported in part by the Impact Fund of Children's of Alabama.

WESTON Museum has been transformed into an archaeological dig pit in a bid to inspire youngsters about our past.
The Burlington Street museum will hold its Big Dig event every week day until August 21, with an exhibition teaching children about archaeology and history.
The event, the brainchild of Bournemouth University student and museum volunteer Shauni Brocklesby, features a large sand pit containing treasures for children to dig up.
They are also being taught how to write their names using Viking runes and Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Museum supervisor Adam Brown said: "We are really hoping that this will plant seeds of interest into children and advance their understanding about this amazing subject."


Farm, sell & earn on CropBytes like in the real world.
CropBytes Game Economy Explained.
CropBytes - crypto economy explained
CropBytes is a farming simulation game with a virtual economy. Players use real cryptocurrencies for money in the CropBytes economy.
Economic activities like producing, buying & selling help the economy grow. Every asset in the game is essential to the economy, they have real value and are tangled with economic activities.
The game replicates the real world by being volatile & transitional. Players create economic trends & by playing out their strategies in the game.
Image for post
"CropBytes is a real-life simulation in a virtual world that uses cryptocurrency"
Here is an example of how it works:
The animals who consume 'Corn Feed' are more in numbers. They collectively require 1000 Corn Feed' a day, while daily 'Carrot Feed' required in the economy is 300.
Carrot Crops' take 5 days to grow, while 'Corn Crops' take 1 day. Only one crop can grow at a time on a piece of 'Crop Land'.
Players are free to produce crops and fruits of their choice. To grow their business, players will ideally grow crops that have higher demand. Though its hard to say what other farmers are growing.
Let's consider a situation where 'Carrot Feed' has a higher demand in the market, What will happen?
 - The price of 'Carrot Feed' will rise.
 - Players will stop growing corn and grow carrots instead.
Image for post
80–90% of players are growing carrot crops now. Players with multiple lands are growing both.
The demand for 'Corn Feed' will be the same as before, but supply will not be adequate & cause the price to rise.
Image for post
This cycle is present in the real world, It is recreated in the CropBytes economy all by itself!
CropBytes is the most advanced simulation game with carefully crafted economics to give life like experiences in the virtual world, and tangible profits in the real world.
As more players join, the economy grows, activity increases, and so does the real-world value of the game. Enabling players to make more profits for time and money invested in the game.
The future of gaming is here.

Ask A Cartographer
Saving causes massive file size.
July 13 2011 | 0 comments
Categories: ArcGIS Methods
Why is it that when I save a map, the map itself grows in size?
The map I currently am working started off at 5mb, then grew to a staggering 48mb.
I eventually transferred all the data to a new map and started over with a 5 mb file. As I was saving, I watched it grow about 300 kb WITHOUT ADDING ANY NEW DATA!
What gives?
Mapping Center Answer:
There are a number of reasons that this can happen. For example, it may be caused by a large amount of geoprocessing results stored in the Results tab in ArcToolbox in ArcCatalog. Her eis a Knowledge Base article about how to deal with this:

Assume that the world economy consists of two countries
Question Background: Assume that the world economy consists of two countries: Russia and Byelorussia. Each country can produce tomatoes and potatoes. Russia can produce 1000 tons of tomatoes or 3000 tons of potatoes or any linear combination of tomatoes and potatoes that satisfies potatoes+3×tomatoes=3000. Byelorussia can produce 1000 tons of tomatoes or 1000 tons of or any linear combination of tomatoes and potatoes that satisfies potatoes+tomatoes=1000. Countries can freely trade with each other.
There are three specific questions that I'm unclear on and would like a more detailed solution to. These detailed solutions would preferably be a written explanation (possibly accompanied by a graph):
c) (2 points) If the equilibrium price of tomatoes is $600/ton, what is the minimum and maximum
possible prices of potatoes?
Answer: min = $200 max = $600
d) (3 points) Assume people in both countries eat the same dish that requires the equal amount of
tomatoes and potatoes to prepare. What will be the Russia's GDP if the equilibrium price of tomatoes is
Answer: World production: T=P=1500, price of potatos=$200; Russia produces 1500tons of potatoes and 500
tons of tomatoes. Thus, GDP=1500*200+$500*600=$600,000
e) (3 points) Given the same information as in question (d) above, how many tons of potatoes will be
consumed in Russia?

Difference between Adaptor and Scaffold protein
What is the difference between and scaffold protein??

Difference between Adaptor and Scaffold proteins
Both of these types of proteins are involved in the signaling pathway.
Signaling pathway itself is the mechanism, or the process (name it however you like) in which a signal comes to the cell and triggers some ordered series of events (signaling pathway) which results in some changes in the cell. These changes are usually related to the gene expression or solute concentration (solute uptake, e.g.) which allows the cell to respond to the signal and adjust its metabolism to the current conditions in the environment.
Signaling pathway usually starts with the signal itself which binds to the receptor on the cell membrane which then transmits the signal inside through a number of different proteins. Basically, both adaptor and scaffold proteins are "located" in this group of proteins responsible for transmitting the signal from the receptor further down into the cell.
The main difference between them is in their function. They also differ in the structure, of course, but then again this is the case for any two different proteins so it is not worth mentioning. The role of scaffold proteins is to coordinate the signal transduction by "attracting" a number of different proteins needed in the signaling pathway. They basically form a complex of proteins by tethering other actors in the pathway, thus localizing them to a specific place, making the signal transduction more effective. Having this role, they can also regulate the signaling pathway (through positive and negative feedback signals) and they can isolate specific proteins (the right ones needed in the current active pathway) from other competitive proteins that are not wanted during that time.
Adaptor proteins, on the other hand, are smaller and they too help in the formation of protein complexes, but they do so by usually binding only two proteins. They accomplish this through specific domains (usually SH2 and SH3) which recognize specific amino acid sequences in the target protein.
One of the best examples for scaffold protein is MEKK1, which is present in the MAPK pathway (mitogen-activated protein kinase). This pathway is responsible for sending the signal further into the nucleus, regulating specific transcription factors responsible for the expression of proteins which affect the cell-cycle and cell differentiation.
Good example of adaptor protein is GRB2 (growth factor receptor-bound protein 2). It sends the signal further down by binding to the EGF receptor (epidermal growth factor receptor) with SH2 domain, and it attracts the next protein in the pathway (Sos protein in this case) with SH3 domains.
Hope this answers your question. Sorry if I have made the answer too long, but I like to start from the beginning, just in case if somebody else is searching for this, but lacks the basic knowledge needed to understand the subject.

Definition of agrochemical in English:
A chemical used in agriculture, such as a pesticide or a fertilizer.
- Even the ground water is unfit for drinking due to large-scale application of fertilizers, pesticides and agrochemicals in the tea gardens.
- These were further developed in the 1960s when agro-industrial complexes were set up to grow crops as well as producing fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals.
- However, adverse effects of high input agriculture have been recognized, as fertilizers and agrochemicals discharged from agriculture cause surface water pollution.

Automatically update and restart node applications when you push to GIT.
TF Monitor (Work in Progress)
Note: TF Monitor, at this point, isn't being written with Windows in mind. Only Linux and Mac OS. Also, we expect your system to have git, cron and node installed in the default locations.
TF Monitor automatically restarts node applications when they crash or any file in their directory changes. In the future you will be able to:
 - specify an application to launch on bootup
 - automatically update and restart your app whenever you push to GIT
npm install -g tfmonitor
Use sudo if necessary.
TF Monitor uses a file called Procfile placed in your project folder to launch your application. This file should contain one or more lines that:
 - start with a name followed by a colon
 - after the colon is the command to start your application
See the "Launch Application" section for example.
A package.json file with a valid name is also required.
Run the following from your applications root folder:
tfmonitor start web
Or, if you want to run tfmonitor in the foreground so you can use ctrl-c to stop it use:
tfmonitor start web --foreground
You may also enable logging for this command with the --log command line parameter. This is useful if you want to know when your application restarts or you want to see any errors thrown by TF Monitor (the software is still early in development, so don't rely on it in a production environment).
Your Procfile for this example should look like:
web: node myapp.js
tfmonitor stop web
Where web is the command name in your Procfile.
tfmonitor register web
Note that your application will start on boot without using tfmonitor for restarting... This will change soon.
tfmonitor unregister web
tfmonitor list
This will return a list of running applications each with a pid and name. Note that the pid is for the tfmonitor process that is monitoring your appliction and not your application itself. If you kill this process it will not automatically restart like your application will.
First, make sure your application is fully setup to work with GIT. Try a git pull from your apps root directory.
Once this is working simply add -git to your start or register command like so:
tfmonitor register web -git
This will do a git pull once per hour. The advantage of this is your computer can be behind a firewall with no exposed ports.
The following features are not yet implemented. This defines how we plan to make them work in the future!
If your computer is not behind a firewall, or you have the ability to open ports, the better way to setup git is to use a "hook". Your hook should point to:
Then use our -githook [port] command like in the following example:
tfmonitor register web -githook 8989
Note that tfmonitor will run a small web service on your chosen port and that the application tfmonitor runs cannot use the same port.

The Orange Curtain is a term that refers to the border between Orange County and Los Angeles County in the U.S. state of California. It is a sometimes derogatory, sometimes lighthearted term, that is used to describe Orange County's more conservative and suburban population as compared to the more liberal and urban population of Los Angeles. The Orange Curtain is a word play on the infamous Iron Curtain which separated communist and capitalist Europe.
According to Colleen Cotter, "Because [Orange County] has a reputation for political conservatism, people from Northern California especially worry about what happens 'Behind the Orange Curtain'."
Karin Aguilar-San Juan describes the Orange Curtain as being between 1890 and 1950, as "the region's controlling elite also embraced a John Birch-style ideology of white supremacy and small government.
The song "Orange County Girl" by Gwen Stefani uses this term, stating "I guess behind the orange curtain it's not so bad."

.95 0.067 0.188 Turnips 0.93 0.034 0.130 Watermelons 0.94 0.034 0.110
Although a bushel of apples weighs about 45 pounds, we will assume a weight of 50 pounds to take into account the weight of the container, which must also be cooled. The amount of field heat that must be removed is:
0.87 Btu/lb X (80 F - 32 F) X 200 bu X 50 lb/bu = 417,600 Btu
Since the apples are to be cooled to 32 F in one day, the hourly field heat load is 417,600 Btu divided by 24 hours, or 17,400 Btu per hour.
On the last day of harvest, the storage facility will contain 1,800 bushels of cool apples and 200 bushels of fieldwarm apples. At this time the respiration heat load generated by the stored crop will be the largest. Table 5 shows that field-warm summer apples pro-duce about 0.340 Btu per pound per hour, whereas properly cooled summer apples produce only 0.018 Btu per pound per hour. Thus field-warm apples pro-duce nearly 19 times as much heat by respiration as do cool apples. Since the freshly harvested (warm) apples will be cooled to their proper storage temperature within one day, the heat of respiration used in the calculation will be the average of the values. The average is:
0.340 + 0.018 ------------- = 0.179 Btu/lb/hr 2
The weight, W, of the 1,800 bushels of cool apples is approximately:
W = 1,800 bu X 50 lb/bu = 90,000 lb
The heat of respiration of the cool apples, HRc, is:
HRc = 90,000 lb X 0.018 Btu/lb/hr = 1,620 Btu/hr
The weight, W, of the 200 bushels of warm apples is approximately:
W = 200 bu X 50 lb/bu = 10,000 lb
The average respiration rate, as given previously, is 0.179 Btu per pound per hour. Therefore the heat of respiration for the warm apples, HRw, is:
HRw = 10,000 lb X 0.179 Btu/hr = 1,790 Btu/hr
To obtain the total heat of respiration, HRt, we add the value for cool and warm apples:
HRt = 1,620 Btu/hr + 1,790 Btu/hr = 3,410 Btu/hr
SL = 0.10 X (6,504 + 17,400 + 3,410 Btu/hr) = 2,731 Btu/hr
The total heat load is the sum from all four sources, as shown in Table 6.
Table 6. Total Heat Load for Example Cooling Facility
1. Heat conductance Walls 3,864 Ceiling 1,534 Floor 1,106 6,504 Btu/hr 2. Field heat 200 bushels per day at 80 F 17,400 Btu/hr 3. Heat of respiration 200 bushels warm apples 1,790 1,800 bushels cold apples 1,620 3,410 Btu/hr Subtotal 27,314 Btu/hr 4. Service load 10% of subtotal 2,731 Btu/hr Total heat load 30,045 Btu/hr
The approximate proportion of the total heat load contributed by each of the four sources is:
Heat conduction.... 21.6 percent Field heat....... 57.9 percent Heat of respiration.. 11.3 percent Service load...... 9.1 percent
As discussed previously, refrigeration systems are rated by how much heat they will move or displace in a given length of time. The standard unit of rating is the ton. Since 1 ton of refrigeration equals 288,000 Btu per 24 hours, or 12,000 Btu per hour, the refrigeration capacity, RC, for a unit that would just handle the heat load in the previous example under the conditions described would be:
30,061 Btu/hr RC = ----------------- 12,000 Btu/hr ton = 2.51 tons
A 2.51-ton refrigeration unit would need to run continuously to keep the temperature in this storage facility at 32 F under the conditions listed above. If the conditions used in this calculation were changed, a 2.51-ton unit could be either too large or too small to maintain the desired storage temperature. The capacity needed to maintain a temperature of 32 F would increase if:
For example, if harvesting were increased to 400 bushels of apples per day, the total heat load would increase to nearly 51,000 Btu per hour. A 4 1/4-ton unit running continuously would be required to maintain a storage temperature of 32 F under these conditions.
In practice, it is advisable in selecting a refrigeration system to add reserve capacity to the calculated rating as a protection against overloads. Of particular interest is the fact that refrigeration systems, for reasons to be discussed later, are operated for a total of only 16 to 20 hours per day. The total capacity of the system must be increased, therefore, to compensate for the "off time." For example, if the system described in the example were to operate for only 16 hours per day, it would need to be 24/16, or 1.5 times as large--that is, 3.77 tons instead of 2.51 tons.
Furthermore, it is good practice to increase the capacity of the system by a chilling rate factor. The rate at which heat is removed from the produce is not constant during the cycle but is greatest at the beginning. If the capacity of the system is not sufficient to overcome the thermal inertia of the produce, cooling time may increase above the specified limits for the product. To compensate, a chilling rate factor of 1.5 is applied to most fresh fruits and vegetables. This factor is applied in addition to the on-time factor. Thus the actual refrigeration system capacity, RC, required for the example facility would be:
RC = 2.51 X 1.5 X 1.5 = 5.65 tons
In the example, field heat accounts for 58.9 percent of the total heat load. Once field heat has been removed from the crop, much less refrigeration capacity is required to maintain the storage temperature. While 5.65 tons of refrigeration are needed to cool the apples in the example, about 2 1/2 tons are needed to maintain a constant temperature after they have reached 32 F. Therefore, anything that can be done to lower the temperature of the crop brought into the storage facility will significantly reduce the initial heat load, thus reducing the cost of the refrigeration equipment needed and the electrical energy to operate it.
Harvesting early or late in the day or even at night helps reduce refrigeration cost. Some large growers of highly perishable crops have started harvesting "under the lights" to reduce cooling costs and preserve quality. Although not usable for all crops, hydrocooling is an effective way to remove the first 20 to 30 degrees of heat quickly, lessening the load on the system. Even cooling with well water is a very energy efficient method of precooling produce before it is placed in the cooling room. Note, however, that some types of produce are sensitive to wetting, which encourages the growth of microorganisms.
If the 200 bushels of apples in the example facility were cooled just 20 F before entering the cooling room, the total heat load would be reduced to about 22,080 Btu per hour, or 26 percent. In this case, only 4.14 tons of refrigeration would be required instead of 5.65. Table 7 shows the calculations involved.
Table 7. Total Heat Load at a Field Temperature of 60 F
1. Heat conductance6,504 Btu/hr 2. Field heat 10,158 Btu/hr 3. Heat of respiration 3,410 Btu/hr ------------- Subtotal 20,072 Btu/hr 4. Service load 2,007 Btu/hr ------------- Total heat load 22,079 Btu/hr
Although doubling the insulation value in the walls, ceiling, and floor would reduce the heat conductance by one-half from 6,504 to 3,252 Btu per hour, the percentage reduction of the total heat load would be small. The only way to reduce the heat load substantially is to start the refrigeration cooling process with fruit as cool as possible.
Condensation and Humidity. The cooling coils of the refrigeration system (Figure 4) must be colder than the air in the room if the air is to be cooled. The larger the temperature difference, the greater the rate of heat transfer and the smaller (and less expensive) the cooling coils. However, the colder the coil surface, the more water vapor from the air will condense on the coils, either as a liquid or as ice. Evaporator coil condensation represents wasted refrigeration capacity and should be minimized. Allowing hot, humid air to enter the cooling room is particularly costly because the refrigeration system must not only cool the air but also condense the additional water

Definition of adenylate cyclase in English:
noun[mass noun] Biochemistry
An enzyme that catalyses the formation of cyclic adenylic acid from adenosine triphosphate.
- The cAMP is produced by adenylate cyclase, and that enzyme is activated by phosphorylated IIA Glc.
- The response of cells to the binding of glucagon to its cell surface receptor is the activation of the enzyme adenylate cyclase which is associated with the receptor.
- When epinephrine contacts a cell membrane, it triggers the allosteric activation of adenylate cyclase, the enzyme that creates cAMP. cAMP then allosterically activates a protein kinase.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THERMAL CONTACT RESISTANCE OF NEEDLE-PUNCHED C/C-SIC COMPOSITES AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES
In this study, thermal contact resistance (TCR) of needle-punched C/C-SiC composites under different conditions (temperature, pressure) is experimentally measured by a three-element system. The "three-element system" refers to a thermal conductivity measurement facility, a surface roughness measurement microscope and a one-D heat conduction system. Details of the three elements and the measurement process are described. Under the measurement conditions, the values of TCR of the needle-punched C/C-SiC composites are within the range of 0.00005 to 0.000275 K·m2·W-1. Generally speaking the TCR increases with interface temperature when it is lower than about 220° and decreases with loading pressure monotonically. Four variation curves of TCR are presented.

Searching for how to repair a bow in Minecraft?
Well, you end up in the right place!
Minecraft is a trendy and addictive game with lots of adventures and happenings. When you start playing Minecraft, you may think that the weapons and armors are of no use, but you will realize their importance as you go ahead.
The Bow is one of the crucial weapons that can break a lot of time, and people usually think, why does this happen and how to fix this? We will give the answers to all of your questions in this article.
Why the Bow Breaks?
Many people find it frustrating and start wondering why the Bow breaks in the middle of the game? The reason is that each item in the Minecraft game has a specific HitPoint, and when you keep using that weapon, it keeps on going down and losing its health. This is the reason why the bow breaks. You need to craft a new one or repair it to make it work.
If you've been playing the game for a while, you must be aware that Minecraft has two types of bows. The first one is a Normal Bow with regular abilities, and the other is called Enchanted Bow, which comes with more extraordinary powers and capabilities. You can break both of these bows with excessive use, so you need to know how to repair these.
Now, we will explain how to repair a bow in Minecraft.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Anvil
To use this trick, you will need an Anvil in your Inventory. If you don't have an anvil, you can also craft your Anvil by following some simple steps given below:
How to Craft an Anvil:
- You will need at least 4 Iron Ingots and 3 Iron Squares from your Stock Box to create your Anvil.
- By using these items, you can craft a decent anvil that will help you in many other things as well.
After Arranging an Anvil:
To repair your Bow using an anvil, follow these simple steps
- From your Minecraft inventory, open the Anvil.
- Put the Bow in the first slot and the Bow repairing material in the second slot.
- Wait for a while now, and get your fixed Bow from the Anvil.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Crafting Table
If you don't want to use an anvil for your bow repair, you can use this method to help you repair your Minecraft bow.
You can get the job done by using a crafting table better and more efficiently. But, first of all, you should know how to create a crafting table.
How to Create a Crafting Table:
- Press E to open your Inventory Screen.
- You must have at least four woodblocks for this purpose.
- In the crafting section, place the woodblocks 2×2. You will see the crafting table on the right side; save it.
After Creating the Crafting Table:
If you want to follow the above method, here are some simple and easy steps:
- Open your Crafting Table.
- On the table, place two bows side by side.
- Wait for these bows to make a third bow.
- That's it! Now you have your Bow.
Some Restrictions of Using the Crafting Table Method to Repair Bow
The crafting table will require two objects of the same type. Here you are giving two bows to get a strengthened bow that has full stats or health.
The crafting table method does not work for Enchanted bows. If you place two enchanted bows on that table, it will still make an ordinary resultant bow and not an enchanted one.
It is important to note that the crafting table is not primarily used for repairing items. However, there is another method that you can use to repair your Bow. We just used a trick here, so make sure you use this method as a last resort.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Grindstone
Grindstone is also an essential element in Minecraft. Like an anvil and crafting table, a grindstone can also be used to repair a bow.
First of all, you should know how to craft a grindstone.
How to Craft a Grindstone:
To craft a grindstone in Minecraft, the ingredients you will need are two oak plants, two sticks, and a stone slab. You can continue with the following steps to craft a grindstone once you have all the material.
- Open a 3×3 grid crafting table.
- Put the materials on a table.
- You can see the grindstone on the right side of the table.
- Now that you have the grindstone take and drag that into your Inventory.
After Crafting the Grindstone:
Once you have crafted the grindstone, you can use the following steps to repair your Bow:
- Through the Inventory, open your grindstone.
- Put one Bow in the top slot and another bow in the bottom slot.
- You'll see the Bow on the right.
Minecraft is a very addictive and never-ending adventurous game, but it can be confusing and tricky. We have written this article to answer your questions and help you explore more of this game. We hope this article was helpful for you in finding out how to repair a bow in Minecraft. The best method is using the Anvil, which also helps with enchanted bows. The other two ways are relatively less effective as they do not repair magical bows but can be used as a last option.
Control the truth, Control the people The power of the in the anvil of power under the rug. The principal in the dark

Superimpose means laying one thing on top of another. It's often use to describe images in a photo collage — like the superimposed image of a skyscraper on the surface of the moon.
The verb superimpose is typically used in graphics or photography to describe how images can be put on top of one another for dramatic effect. Use it also to show adding your own take on something, or when you try to have an impact on someone's behavior: "She tried to superimpose her ideas of perfection onto the lazy habits of her children."

"Stop using the internet!"
Translation:Berhenti menggunakan internet!
February 26, 2019
But then I can't lern Bahasa Indonesian.
Differences between menggunakan and memakai?
Generally the same, except you can use /memakai/ for wearing clothing also.
As it is an order, would it be wrong to use -kan? For example, 'hentikan'?
That would have a different meaning. Using /hentikan/ would be including the causative/benefactive suffix /-kan/ on the end of the root, so it would sound as though you were telling the hearer to cause someone or something else to stop using the internet. If it's the hearer who is using the internet (whom you would want to stop by saying this), then, no, you wouldn't use /-kan/.
However, you might using /hentilah/ instead for the purpose of more strongly emphasizing the verb as a command.

San Juan is one of the few villages left around Guatemala that dyes its yarn naturally. The natural yarn process is fascinating. It is incredible that such vibrant colours can be achieved in a completely natural way.
Once picked, the natural cotton balls—which are white, khaki or coffee in color—are pulled apart so that the seeds can be removed. (pictured right) The cotton is then stretched and pounded into a rectangle in preparation for spinning it into thread.
The cotton is then handspun on a spool. One hand spins the spool while the other holds the cotton high until long strands begin to form. It is necessary to spin the cotton several times to achieve a very fine cotton thread. (pictured below)
A natural fixator made from banana leaves is used to ensure the finished yarn does not bleed as synthetic dye often does. The cotton is first dipped in the banana water then into the pot containing the boiling water and desired dye – usually depending on the hue desired, you boil the yarn for 2 – 3 hours. The final step is dipping the now naturally dyed yarn in the banana water again to fix the colour. The result; a vibrant colour that does not bleed or stain and is completely environmentally friendly.
Both muted and vivid dye colors can be achieved depending on the boiling time and the plants they are derived from, some of which include avocado, guava, carrots, basil and cinnamon. What is interesting is that often the plant or insect gives an unexpected colour.
Who would have thought that avocado dye equals pink yarn?


Windows Programming

Mouse Clipping
Specialised applications can require that the mouse pointer is limited to a fixed portion of the screen, known as a clipping rectangle. This region can be determined and controlled by reading and setting a property of a standard.NET class.
Clipping Rectangles
Under normal circumstance the mouse pointer can be moved freely within the rectangle defined by the screen. This area is the clipping rectangle. You can change the boundaries of the rectangle to restrict the pointer movement. This is useful for specialised applications where the user should not click items outside of the rectangle.
Changing the mouse clipping rectangle should be done with care. Although the clipping is removed by switching between applications or by showing the Windows Start menu, adding clipping can be frustrating for novice users. Those who are unaware of keyboard controls may decide to power down their system unnecessarily to remove the clipping.
Getting the Clipping Rectangle
You can retrieve the current clipping rectangle boundaries using the Clip property of the Cursor class. This static property returns a Rectangle structure containing the position and size of the clipping region. The Cursor class is found in the System.Windows.Forms namespace and Rectangle is in System.Drawing, so add the following using directives:
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
The code below shows the current clipping rectangle in a message box:
Setting the Clipping Rectangle
The Clip property may be used to constrain the mouse pointer within a specified rectangle. If the mouse pointer is not within the rectangle and the application changing the Clip property is active, the pointer will be moved to a valid position. The following sample code restricts the pointer to a 101 pixel square at the top left corner of the screen:
Cursor.Clip = new Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100);
A common way to limit the pointer is to use the boundaries of a Windows control. First you convert the client rectangle of the control to screen co-ordinates and then apply them to the Clip property. The code below limits the mouse pointer to the boundaries of a panel control named, "MyPanel".
Cursor.Clip = MyPanel.RectangleToScreen(MyPanel.ClientRectangle);
Clearing the Clipping Rectangle
When you no longer require the clipping you should remove it. To do so, set the Clip property value to Rectangle.Empty, as follows:
Cursor.Clip = Rectangle.Empty;

By an Aronszajn tree, I mean a tree of height $\omega_1$ with countable levels and no branch. Such a tree is Souslin if it has no uncountable antichains and special if it can be written as the countable union of antichains. It is well known that there is both a ccc forcing and a $\sigma$-closed forcing for adding Souslin trees and, given any Aronszajn tree $T$ (Souslin or otherwise) there is a ccc forcing for specializing $T$. Therefore we can add Souslin trees, and then specialize them, giving us new special Aronszajn trees. In this post I have a variety of questions about forcings which add Aronszajn trees that are neither special nor Souslin. The most basic of these is as follows.
Question 1: What are some of the most common ways of forcing to add an Aronszajn tree which is neither Souslin nor special? In this post Mohammad Golshani cites a theorem that immediately implies that such trees exist under certain $\diamondsuit$ hypotheses. Therefore forcings to add diamonds suffice but I'm curious whether there is a more explicit forcing where the generic is actually the tree.
My next question is about killing Souslin-ness (or whatever it's called) without specializing.
Question 2: Suppose $T$ is Souslin. Does there exist a forcing notion $\mathbb P$ such that in $V^\mathbb P$, $T$ is still Aronszajn but no longer Souslin and also not special?
I'm also curious about these questions in the case of fat Aronszajn trees: Aronszajn trees with the requirement of countable levels removed. The same ccc specializing forcing works to make such trees special so under MA all such trees are special. I'm curious whether non-special fat Aronszajn trees can be built by hand using forcing.
Question 3: What forcings will add a fat, non-special Aronszajn tree?
 - 2
 $\begingroup$ In these notes math.cmu.edu/~eschimme/Appalachian/EisworthMooreNotes.pdf a forcing to kill an A-tree is provided. It answers your second question. (Page 17.) $\endgroup$ – Not Mike Jan 12 '18 at 22:18
 - $\begingroup$ Regarding question 2, I suggest the following: suppose $T$ is the given Souslin tree and suppose all of its levels be countable. Let $P$ be the forcing notion for adding an antichain into $T$ using conditions which are finite antichains of $T$. The forcing is c.c.c and adds an uncountable antichain in $T$. I think $T$ is not special in the extension but I did not check it. $\endgroup$ – Mohammad Golshani Jan 14 '18 at 4:52
 - $\begingroup$ I may mention that the work of Laver-shelah to kill all $\aleph_2$-Soulin trees uses similar forcing using countable antichains. $\endgroup$ – Mohammad Golshani Jan 14 '18 at 4:52
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Mike thank you I'll check that out! $\endgroup$ – Corey Bacal Switzer Jan 15 '18 at 13:31
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Golshani Thanks as well. For both of the forcings you suggest do you know of a reference I can look at? $\endgroup$ – Corey Bacal Switzer Jan 15 '18 at 13:31
Regarding your comment before Question 3, you mean all such trees with size $<\mathfrak{m}$ are special. In particular, it doesn't say anything about trees of size $\geq 2^{\omega}$. Indeed, $T(\mathbb{R})$ where elements are bounded well ordered subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ ordered by end-extension is not special. It definitely has no uncountable branches.
For question 1, you can first add a Suslin tree (there are various ways of doing this), of which the most straightfoward one is to use countable well-pruned trees with end-extension (due to Jech). For the second step (which also gives yet another answer to the second question), you can pick $S\subset \omega_1$ that is stationary and co-stationary, and use a Shelah style forcing $Q(T,S)$ to make $T$ $S$-st-special (this means there exists a regressive function $f$ whose domain is $T\restriction S$ such that $t

EEG Ocular Correction ICA (based on ICA)
The Ocular Correction ICA transform allows ocular artifacts in the EEG to be corrected. This is
an ICA-based correction process using a simplified version of ICA. Compared with ICA, however,
the Ocular Correction ICA transform has the advantage that it offers more comprehensive
methods of detecting artifact-related ICA components. Alongside the automatic and
manual detection of ocular artifacts (e.g. blinks), you can also automatically detect the ICA
components that are of relevance for eye activity. Ocular artifacts could also be corrected using
the ICA transform in semiautomatic mode.


Question: Do Tomatoes Scream When You Cut Them?
Does a plant feel pain when you cut it?
Do tomatoes cry?
Drought-stressed tomato plants emitted about 35 ultrasonic squeals per hour, on average, while those with cut stems made about 25. Drought-stressed tobacco plants let out about 11 screams per hour, and cut crops made about 15 sounds in the same time.
Does grass scream when you cut it?
Scientists have discovered that grass blades scream when cut with a lawnmower. … While human ears can only hear sounds up to about 16,000 Hz, scientists have now measured vocalizations of 85,326 Hz emanating from grass blades cut by a power lawn mower.
Do cucumbers scream when you cut them?
Although not audible to the human ear, the secret voices of plants have revealed that cucumbers scream when they are sick, and flowers whine when their leaves are cut [source: Deutsche Welle]. There's also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. … This network helps plants propagate, grow and survive.
Do trees have genders?
Lots of trees are hermaphroditic — that is, their flowers contain both male and female reproductive parts. Other species have male trees and female trees, which you can tell apart by looking at their flowers: The male reproductive parts are the pollen-laden stamen; the female parts their egg-holding pistils.
Do plants die if you yell at them?
Marini does admit that sound waves can have an effect on plants because they make them vibrate, and that vibration causes the plants to create ethylene, stunting their growth, but adds that sound would not cause them to wilt and certainly wouldn't kill them.
Do plants feel love?
Plants Really Do Respond to The Way We Touch Them, Scientists Reveal. It's something that plant lovers have long suspected, but now Australian scientists have found evidence that plants really can feel when we're touching them.
What happens if you never cut grass?
After long periods without mowing, the grass may go to seed, causing the blades to look more like weeds than grass. In addition to decreased curb appeal, excessively tall grass puts the homeowner at risk for complaints. Many cities require homeowners to keep the lawn mowed.
Why does grass smell when it's cut?
What's the secret behind the sweet smell of cut grass? … Chemically speaking, that classic lawn smell is an airborne mix of carbon-based compounds called green leaf volatiles, or GLVs. Plants often release these molecules when damaged by insects, infections or mechanical forces — like a lawn mower.
