7 Effective Ways to Increase Participation at Your Events

Want to improve learning, connection, engagement, and action outcomes at your meetings? Then use a process that requires and supports purposeful participant activity!
EMB_image_7 Effective Ways to increase partecipation at your event
When people are actively involved in their learning they learn more, and retain what they learn longer and more accurately.
And when you eliminate attendees by turning them into participants in your meeting sessions, they connect more effectively with their peers, at a much higher rate than at conventional events.
Making this happen at your meetings isn't rocket science. Here are seven simple and effective ways to increase participation at your events.
1. Badge It!
Who'd have thought that the humble name badge could provide useful information that can spark connections and engagement between attendees who are just walking around? Here's how to do it.
Use large name badges (I like 4" x 6" vertical badges) and design them so there's space for attendees to write on them. Then add a "Talk to me about…" space, or an "I'd like to know about…" space, or an "All we need is…" on your badge. Voila! Attendees now have a way to broadcast their interests and expertise and an excuse to peer at each other's badges.
A slightly different approach is to have people write a specific area of interest on their badge (perhaps on the back if it's blank) and then walk around and cluster with other attendees who share the same interest.
2. Seat Swap
To increase conversational partners at seated meals, simply announce a seat swap between two courses (typically between the main course and dessert). If the group includes approximately equal numbers of men and women, ask all the men or all the women to stand up and choose a chair at another table.
Alternatively, have everybody move whose last name begins with a letter in the first half of the alphabet. All will double their pool of conversational partners at the cost of perhaps a couple of minutes' rearrangement. At a seated buffet-style meal you can have more than one seat swap, with a commensurate increase in potential connections.
3. Post It!
At the start of a conference session, hand out several sticky notes and a pen to attendees. Ask them to write down one or more topics they would like explored or questions they would like answered, one per note. Tell them they do not need to use all their notes. Supply a wall area where notes can be posted, and ask them, once they have finished, to post their notes on the wall.
Give participants a few minutes to write their responses. As the notes are posted it is natural for people to hang around the wall and read what others have written. Let them do this, but ask people to allow late posters to get to the wall.
As the notes are posted, cluster them in groupings of similar topics. Once all the notes are on the wall, provide some time for everyone to take in the topics and questions. This group sharing can then be used as a starting point for discussion techniques like the fishbowls described below.
4. Body voting
Body voting—also called human graphs, human spectrograms, or continuum voting—is one of the most versatile participative techniques. It provides an information-rich public tableau of opinions or personal information by asking participants to move to a place in the room that corresponds to their responses to questions with a range of possible answers. Body voting allows session presenters, the group, and participants to directly experience the range and distribution of responses, and then explore individual responses or group outcomes as appropriate.
Although I can't do justice to the full range of possibilities of body voting in this article, here are a couple of ways I like to use it.
To demonstrate the collective amount of experience in the room, ask people to think of the number of years of experience they have and then have them line up across the room in order by their number of years of experience. Ask a few of those at the high experience end to say how many years' experience they have and repeat their answers for the whole group. Then, walk to the middle of the line (i.e., the point where there are approximately equal numbers of participants on either side of you) and ask the people there how many years' experience they have. Multiply their answer by the number of participants and announce the number of collective person-years of experience in the room, which will invariably be far greater than any one or two people could possess.
To allow participants to quickly meet other attendees who live or work near them, create in advance a map of the geographical region that includes a majority of attendees' locations, and display it in the room. Stand facing the map and point out the compass directions (e.g. "towards the map is North".) Ask people to move to the spot in the room that corresponds to where they live/work. Once people are in position, have them introduce themselves to the people nearby, exchange business cards, etc.
5. Fishbowls
Ever been at a "discussion" session that was monopolized by a few talkative individuals, with no one else getting a word in? Me too!
A fishbowl encourages free-wheeling discussion that anyone can join without having to get the attention of a moderator or talk over a noisy interrupter. In one version, participants sit in a horseshoe arrangement of chairs, with a few chairs in the "mouth" of the horseshoe, as shown.
A facilitator sits in one of the mouth's chairs and explains the fishbowl rules:
- If you want to talk, you must come and sit in one of the small group of chairs.
- If all the small group chairs are full and no one has yet spoken, wait a little—otherwise, when you come up, someone sitting in a mouth chair must go back to a horseshoe chair.
- If you're sitting in a small group chair and have finished what you have to say, go back to a horseshoe chair.
- When you're in a small group chair, you can address your comments to someone else in these chairs or to the whole group.
When the facilitator gently enforces these rules, everyone has a chance to speak, discuss, and be heard. Participants appreciate how the small group format focuses the discussion, how the contributors change as needed, how simply the front row shows who may talk, and how it's clear when the conversation on a topic has run its course.
6. Pair Share
Instead of one person talking and everyone else listening during a meeting session, use a few minutes of pair share to give every participant the opportunity to engage by thinking, talking, and listening. Pose a discussion question, have attendees pair up, and give everyone 30-60 seconds to think about their response. Then ask everyone to spend a couple of minutes discussing their answers with their partners. You may want to have one person in each pair start, and have them swap roles half way through the time you've allocated.
7. Pecha Kucha and Ignite
Pecha Kucha and Ignite are dynamic short-form presentations that limit presenters to 20 slides automatically advanced, each shown for 20 seconds (Pecha Kucha) or 15 seconds (Ignite), while the presenter shares his or her passion about a topic. Because each presentation lasts just 6 minutes and 40 seconds (Pecha Kucha) or 5 minutes (Ignite), presenters are challenged to be concise, targeted, and creative—and you can pack four Pecha Kucha or five Ignite presentations into 30 minutes. While these presentation styles are entertaining and a lot of fun, their impact is maximized when they are immediately followed by small breakout discussion sessions with the presenters. The combination reinforces participant learning, as attendees follow up and explore the ideas presented.
In Conclusion
There's no excuse for inflicting lectures on your attendees any more. Incorporating any or all of the above participation techniques into your meeting sessions is a sure fire way to increase learning, connection, engagement, and action outcomes at your events!

 You could remove it but part of the meaning would be lost. "ci" shows some kind of proximity (in space and/or in time) in regard to the person speaking.
 In context, it can mark a contrast between a previous time (that would be "cette fois-là") when the woman wasn't "contente".
 So the speaker asks if she is satisfied this time, in opposition to the other time when she was not.
 The English equivalent would be:
 Cette fois-ci = This time here
 Cette fois-là = That time there
 (even though in English it is very rare to speak like this, this type of specification is common in French)

Communicating with Vocal Emotions
Talk by Oleksandr Talavera (Birmingham) as part of the Research Seminar Series of the IOS Economics Department.
This paper explores the interpersonal vocal communication of managers with analysts during earnings conference calls. We apply a novel machine learning technique on a sample of more than 20,000 earnings conference calls of S&P 500 firms to generate voice emotions measures. Focusing on analyst-manager conversations, we find evidence of reciprocal interactions when managers respond with a similar vocal emotion to analysts. We also document that managers, who dialogue with a female analyst, exhibit a more positive vocal response. Moreover, female managers and younger managers are more likely to display negative vocal emotions than their male and older colleagues. Further analysis shows that investors and analysts incorporate emotionally charged information in trading and earnings forecasts.

Monitoring mites with a sugar shake
It seems that every beekeeping group has its own way to monitor Varroa mites. I keep hearing variations on the sugar shake (or sugar roll), the alcohol wash, and the soap bath. But one thing remains constant: most hobby beekeepers don't want to kill bees in order to count mites.
The powdered sugar shake does not kill bees. The sugar-coated honey bees are easily added back to the hive and the sugar consumed. Both the alcohol wash and the soap bath give a slightly more accurate count, but both kill the bees. Soap and alcohol give more accurate results for two reasons: they better separate the mites from the bees and they allow an actual count of the bees in the sample instead of an estimate.
However, it is my opinion that beekeepers are more likely to monitor if they don't have to kill bees in the process. I also believe that the easier it is to do, the more likely it is to happen. Furthermore, I don't think the last scintilla of accuracy makes much difference. Your decision to treat or not treat will probably be unaffected by the one or two mites you missed.
Compare the two
If you are uncomfortable with the difference, you can try this at home: Do a sugar shake and count the mites. Next, use alcohol on the same group of bees and count the extra mites. In most cases, you will find that the sugar shake dislodged at least 90% of the mites.
If you want, you can assume you are getting 90% of the mites with your sugar shake, and then you can adjust the estimate by dividing your count by 90%. For example, if your sugar roll yielded 8 mites, then 0.9χ = 8, so χ = 8.8 mites. Let's call it 9. But do I think this is a necessary step? No.
In the interest of simplicity I have distilled a number of sources that describe how to do a sugar shake and tried to make it as easy as possible.
Simple Instructions for a Sugar Shake Test (Sugar Roll)
Equipment Needed:
 - A mason jar with a marking at the 1/2-cup level. Some mason jars come with embossed measurements, or you can draw a line with a marker.
 - A mason jar ring fitted with a round disk of #8 hardware cloth. This lid must fit on your mason jar.
 - Confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar or icing sugar)
 - A spoon
 - A container for counting mites. It should be white or at least very light colored so the mites can be seen.
 - A bucket, bowl, feeder, Tupperware container, or something that you will shake your bees into.
 - A small amount of water
Prepare all this equipment in advance. If you use a 5-gallon bucket to catch the bees, you can put the rest of your equipment in there for transport. Once in the apiary, lay out your equipment.
Now, here are the steps:
 1. Remove 1 or 2 frames of bees from the brood nest. Ideally, these frames will contain open brood and nurse bees. Make sure the frames you shake do not include the queen.
 2. Shake the frames over your bucket. Don't bang the frames, just shake.
 3. Take your bucket of bees, tap it so the bees collect on the bottom, and then pour them into your mason jar up to the 1/2-cup line. This will give you approximately 400* bees.
 4. Quickly screw on the modified lid.
 5. Pour the rest of the bees back in the hive.
 6. Spoon some confectioners sugar onto the mesh screen and work it through with your fingers.
 7. Shake the bees in the jar for about a minute to completely coat both bees and mites, using as much sugar as necessary.
 8. Invert the jar and shake it into your light-colored dish. Keep shaking until mites and sugar stop falling out.
 9. Add a small amount of water to your dish of mites. This dissolves the sugar and makes the mites easier to see.
 10. Count the mites.
This concludes the actual test. Next you will need to consult a chart in order to decide if you should treat for mites. Recommendations vary depending on the season and where you live. Also, recommendations may be given based on the number of mites per bee, in which case you will have to divide your mite count by the estimated number of bees in your sample.
Neither way counts every mite
None of the methods mentioned above—sugar, soap, or alcohol—count the mites under the brood caps, but most of the charts available take this into consideration. If you are uncertain, but sure to read the fine print.
Although this system is not perfect, it will give you a lot of information for a very small amount of effort. Give it a try and see how your mites are doing. One way or the other, you might be surprised.
*Estimates vary. According to Marla Spivak at the University of Minnesota, there are approximately 100 bees per fluid ounce.
Nick Holmes
Do you have a reference you can point at about the calculation for working out infestation levels, the only ones I know about are for mite drop through the screen floor under normal activity.
The University of Minnesota says this, "If you know how many bees were in your sample, you can estimate the number of mites per 100 bees. If there is brood in the colony when you sample, you should double this number to factor in the amount of mites in worker brood. For example, if there are 5 mites/100 bees, the total infestation is probably 10 mites/100 bees. If your colony has over 10-12 mites/100 bees, you should consider treatment."
On the other hand, The University of Montana recommends treating if you get 5-9 mites from a sugar roll containing 250 bees. I assume they are doubling the number to account for brood, which would give you 10-18 mites. Dividing that by 2.5 gives you 4-7 mites/100 bees. Those are fairly inconsistent, so I hesitate to recommend one over the other.
Today I opened up one of my hives to remove the spent HopGuard strips and put the quilt box on for the winter. I was surprised to find a nest of ladybugs under the telescopic outer cover and the inner cover. Although I have been bitten by the orange ladybugs before, I doubt the ladybugs would attack the bees but I was wondering if they would eat the mites. I would guess their main reason for being there was to stay warm and dry but wouldn't it be great if these are a natural predator of the varroa mites.
Nick Holmes
Ok thanks… gives me a start in terms of mites / role = infestation in hive. I should be able to extrapolate from that. Thanks 🙂
Hi Rusty,
I didn't want to use chemicals to treat, so I read & read to find the best way to treat for mites. So I settled on the wintergreen patty recipe you provided, sugar sprinkle, followed up with about 60 drops of peppermint oil mixed in about 2 pints or less of honey (theirs) in a baggie feeder. I also saturated strips of paper towels with a mixture of 1/2 cup corn oil and tea tree oil/peppermint oil/patchouli oil in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle, I used only 2 oils together. I laid the saturated 5×5 pieces of paper towels, 2 in each hive directly on the frames in the upper brood box, with the hopes they chew it up and get some oils. (I only overwinter with 2 deeps.) Oo I tucked them in with a candyboard, said a prayer and will check on them before deep winter sets in. This is just my second year so I'm still learning. I'm not a helicopter beekeeper. I'm pretty lazy, and I let the bees be bees. I don't go down in brood frames and examine and I don't cut things open or out. It's mostly because I do more harm being inexperienced than any real help. I hate tearing up all their hard work. The only thing I will do in the spring is try a walkaway split on my two hives. They beat me to it last palm Sunday lol!!!
Mark Martin
Very good! I actually tried the sugar roll method for the first time this year and had 4 mites drop. Ideally I would have done a set of brood frames in the top and bottom box and maybe averaged them together but I ran out of daylight. Hopefully the bees will make it through the winter and I can see how many mites drop next year in the spring, summer and fall.
PS – I'm trying the pine shavings in my ventilation board this winter. I'm excited to see how it works! Thanks!
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking... why what? But powdered sugar is found to be an effective mite control if done on a regular weekly schedule. It only gets part of the mites (and none under the cappings) so it must be repeated often. The sugar shake test dislodges a greater number of mites because you use

Examples of scheduled monuments
Below are examples of scheduled monuments, ranging from early prehistoric to modern monuments.
Early prehistoric monuments
Despite recycling of stone for later uses, early prehistoric burial
sites such as this chambered cairn still contain important and unique information about burial practices
around 5000 years ago.
Later prehistoric monuments
Around 2000 years ago people in northern and western Scotland lived in substantial stone houses, often with defensive qualities. Here a submerged causeway leads from the shore to an island dun.
For a time in the 2nd century AD, the Antonine Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman empire.
Early medieval monuments
The Picts of the 4th to 7th centuries AD built forts in many parts of Scotland, here reusing masonry from a nearby Roman fort.
Later medieval monuments
Later medieval churches were at the heart of their communities. Along with their graveyards they can tell us about changing religious beliefs and how this was reflected in the church architecture and burial practices.
It can be difficult to identify the remains of medieval settlements, but deserted settlements are characteristic of much of post-medieval Scotland. This fermtoun appears to contain at least eight separate units or farmsteads, pre-dating the transition to the dispersed farmsteads of the post-Improvement era.
We now recognise the cultural significance of the military remains of the 20th century.
In Scotland, seven wrecks dating from the First World War are scheduled in Scapa Flow, Orkney. Scottish Ministers can also designate wrecks under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973.

Community for more: Why Fast Data Access (FDA) for ABAP "FOR ALL ENTRIES" Statements on IBM Db2 Is Useful and Fast Data Access (FDA), Part 2: How to detect and tune long-running FDA statements)
With SAPTOOLS.MEMORY_TABLE, the Db2 optimizer cannot use table statistics to determine if parallel insert is useful because the table function is part of the SELECT statement. Therefore, it needs to rely on the CARDINALITY clause provided by DBSL. To avoid flooding the SQL cache, DBSL only generates a maximum of two SQL statements for one OPEN SQL INSERT statement: One SQL statement with CARDINALITY 200000, which is used if a threshold of rows in is exceeded. The second SQL statement is for small , where there is no performance benefit with parallelization, so DBSL does not add a CARDINALITY clause and Db2 does not trigger parallel insert for these smaller INSERT statements. Typically INSERT statements in BW ETL processes get CARDINALITY 200000 and therefore benefit from parallel insert.
To conclude: If you configure SAP and Db2 correctly (see below), DBSL can now use atomic bulk SQL statements for all ABAP "INSERT … FROM ITAB" statements. As a result, parallel insert is used for INSERT statements in BW ETL processes, with the expected performance benefits.
Now let's turn to the question how you can enable parallel inserts in your SAP BW system.
How to Enable Parallel Inserts
SAP Profile Parameters
To enable the new DBSL feature, you need to use SAP kernel 7.49 or higher and need to set the following SAP profile parameters:
 - dbs/db6/dbsl_use_memtab_for_atomic_modify=1
 - dbs/db6/dbsl_use_insert_ignore_duplicates=1
With the first parameter, DBSL uses atomic INSERT statements for all ABAP "INSERT … FROM ITAB" statements without "ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS" clause. The second parameter enables the use of the IGNORE DUPLICATE KEYS clause and atomic INSERT statements are used for all ABAP "INSERT … FROM ITAB" statements.
If enabled, DBSL uses the new feature on all tables and not only on column-organized tables. However, only column-organized tables may benefit from parallel insert. On row-organized tables, atomic INSERT statements will also work fine and may also be somewhat faster. However, the effect is less significant than with parallel insert.
Note: In Db2 11.1, a DUPLICATE KEYS clause on an INSERT statement may have the unwanted side effect that INSERT triggers are fired even if a row has not been inserted due to a SQL error code +803. This unwanted side effect has been removed with Db2 11.5. However, since currently Db2 does not support triggers on column-organized tables, this restriction is not relevant for column-organized tables in SAP BW.
Required IBM Db2 Versions
On the Db2 side, you must use version Db2 or higher or version 11.5 or higher. The potential performance benefit on Db2 11.5 will probably be much higher due to vectorized insert. You need to enable INTRA_PARALLEL in your system to use parallel insert, but this is no extra setting because this is already required by BLU Acceleration.
With these Db2 versions, the Db2 registry setting DB2_EXTENDED_OPTIMIZATION contains the substring "COL_PARALLEL_IUD_THR 50000, CDE_RTABLE_INS_THR 190000". Basically, this means that for INSERT statements with CARDINALITY clause 200,000 like above, parallel insert is used by the Db2 optimizer and an INSERT parallelism of 4 is used.
Tuning the Db2 Client Setting for Atomic ABAP INSERT Statements
The INSERT statements listed above have a BLOB input parameter. The BLOB values can become very large for large ABAP input tables. By default, the Db2 client will only keep 25 MB in memory before a temporary file in the TEMP directory on your SAP application server will be created.
To avoid that the write to temporary files slows down the execution of INSERT statements, it is helpful to increase the temp file threshold. Currently this needs to be done by adding an additional parameter to the db2cli.ini configuration file located in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/global/db6.
Add the parameter LOBFileThreshold to the COMMON section as follows:
The setting above represents 50 MB. The optimal setting may be specific to your system because the size of the data packages used in BW ETL processing is customer-specific. Work processes executing an ABAP INSERT statement may use this amount of memory temporarily for SQL statements with large LOB input parameters.
Required SAP and Db2 Versions and SAP Notes
To be able to use parallel insert for ABAP INSERT statements, you need:
 - SAP BASIS 7.40 or higher
 - SAP Kernel 7.49 or higher
 We recommend that you use a DBSL version containing the patch from SAP Note _PHONE_ with patch text ""DB6: INSERT statement aborts with 'invalid BOM' ".
 - Db2 version or higher or Db2 version 11.5 or higher
 We recommend that you use Db2 version 11.5 to benefit from vectorized insert.
You also need SAP Note _PHONE_.
Your Feedback Wanted
If you own an SAP BW system running on IBM Db2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, the described mechanism may help you with your BW ETL performance. Technically, the feature is well-tested, and some pilot customers are using the feature successfully. However, with the availability with Db2 11.5 and, the feature may now be interesting for a larger number of customers.
If you try out this feature, we would be very interested in your feedback about performance results as well as any feedback about our documentation. Feel free to add a comment to the blog or send me an e-mail.

What: A graded color effect is nice for boundaries that you want to appear to blend into the map. For the Crater Lake map, we wanted the outside of the Park boundary to be distinct and the inside of the boundary to blend into the background. If you had to symbolize an indeterminate boundary, you could make further modifications so both sides blended and the line would look like it was indistinct on both edges and more distinct in the middle. Why: It is sometimes appropriate to show that that features have indistinct boundaries or there is an interior to a feature. Either of these goals can be achieved using a graded color boundary. The sharper edge of the boundary helps distinguish it as the exterior edge. If neither edge is distinct and the middle of the symbol is sharper, then the reader can better understand that the whole boundary is indistinct. How: To achieve the graded color boundary effect, you can use buffers symbolized with a color ramp. On our map, we matched the interior of the boundary with the our data so that it blended in; the exterior edge more sharply contrasted with the area outside the park extent.
To create the boundary:
You can also use the Multiple Ring Buffer tool in ArcToolbox. The difference is that you will need to input the distance value for each of the 20 rings. If you need to make a set of uniform width buffers, the older Buffer Wizard tool is faster.
To symbolize the boundary:
You can pick colors that match your map using the Eye Dropper tool. To add the Eye Dropper tool to any of your toolbars: Click Tools and Customize. Then click on the Commands tab and scroll down to Page Layout. The Eye Dropper tool will be on the right side of the window. Click and drag the tool to any of your toolbars. Use it to click on a color and find out its RGB values.

While fireworks delight celebratory crowds in the summer, for those experiencing PTSD, autism, or sensory-related triggers, these loud and illuminated events can be anxiety-inducing. Understanding how fireworks affect others can help us celebrate holidays safely and with compassion for those around us.
Fireworks & your brain
The loudness of fireworks isn't the only reason they can cause anxiety. According to Dr. Todd K. Favorite at the University of Michigan, the unpredictability of firework explosions can trigger your fight or flight response, increasing your heart rate and causing heavy breathing. The feelings we associate with this are ones where we sense imminent and immediate danger. This is why fireworks can induce anxiety in many individuals.
How to manage auditory anxiety
If you or someone you celebrate with has anxiety related to fireworks, ask your neighbors to alert you if and when they plan to set a few off. This will give you valuable time to prepare and make a plan to cope with your body's reaction, reducing the fear surrounding fireworks.
Here are some things that can be a part of that plan:
- Communicate when you are starting to feel uncomfortable
- Use noise-canceling headphones and distract yourself with music, a podcast, or an audiobook
- Try a grounding technique: hold a piece of ice, recite a memorized poem, sit with a pet, or visualize a favorite place
- Take deep breaths
- Check-in with yourself regularly and assess how you are feeling
There are many ways to handle auditory anxiety, and Valley Oaks Health can provide you with the stability and support needed to help you take steps toward better mental health.

Are rhumb lines ever used by an FMS as leg paths for RNP/RNAV? If so, what arinc 424 leg type would use them?
No. The FMS does not use rhumb lines.
All RNP/RNAV flight path legs are geodesics. The only exceptions are RF legs (a constant radius circular path about a turn center) and hold legs (a closed racetrack pattern).
To quote RTCA DO-236C, Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards: Required Navigation Performance for Area Navigation:
RNP Routes and user-preferred trajectories are assumed to use a series of fixes. The desired path is defined by a series of geodesic tracks joining successive fixes.
It also includes the following definition:
A line of shortest distance between any two points on a mathematically defined surface. A geodesic line is a line of double curvature and usually lies between the two normal section lines which the two points determine. If the two terminal points are nearly in the same latitude, the geodesic line may cross one of the normal section lines. It should be noted that, except along the equator and along the meridians, the geodesic line is not a plane curve and cannot be sighted over directly.

Giant Spanish slugs have been mating with their British counterparts to create a mutant strain of "superslugs".
The Spanish molluscs are thought to have arrived in the UK in salads during the summer months, and have already spread all the way across the country to Wales.
The Mirror reports that they can grow up to 15cm in length, and produce hundreds more eggs than the typical British slug, which could spell trouble for the indigenous slug population.
Slug expert Les Noble of Aberdeen University said: "These slugs are like conquistadors were to the Aztecs. Native slugs can't keep pace and may become extinct.
"They are simply being overrun and when you consider the Spanish slug will happily make a meal out of a dead rabbit as much as out of dog muck you can see why they are so successful.
"We have already seen when these slugs move into an area, the native slugs vanish almost immediately. They can wipe out whole crops and prevent them growing there again."
A 72-year-old from Wales has claimed to have seen the giant slugs in her garden "eating snails", and added: "Our dog caught one, it was so big I thought it was a mouse."

Best Ways To Taste Dab
If you don't know about the dabbing process, when you finish reading this article, you will be more informed. One of the ideal things that many recreational users have come to find out is best ways to taste dab. It has a sensational taste, but may not be for everyone. Dab is a tiny dose of marijuana concentrate and dabbing is the process to which dab is made. The process involves putting a dose of marijuana concentrate on a heated dab nail, after which you would inhale it to reach that high. The dab nail looks like a water pipe attachment.
Tiny Rig
If you wanted to reach a certain flavor during your session of inhaling the dab, it is best to choose a dab rig that has a tiny chamber and joint size. Generally, the dab rig should be as small as possible to improve the flavor. It traps the flavor and saves it or you would say, it preserves the dab taste. It also regulates the air flow. This helps the user to have a longer inhale in one breath. It is suggested taht you use an oil right that has minimum diffusion since it maximizes the competence and minimizes the compression of the oil inside the dab rig. When the joints are smaller, they also provide sustained and smoother inhalation in comparison to the chugging that the user might experience as a large dab rig is cleared.
Adding the Quartz Insert or Quartz Nail
Your dab nail is crucial to the dabbing procedure, allowing for one of the best ways to taste dab. The process heats up the dab nail with the use of a coil or torch. The torch material is usually made of quartz, titanium or ceramic. Each of these materials has their own advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended that you use quartz since it improves the flavor. It could be either a quartz insert or quartz nail. What is most important is that you use a surface that is quartz.
The Temperature
Your temperature when you are dabbing should be low and consistent. This is true if you are seeking the maximum flavor each time you carry out the dabbing process. It would be better to ue an electric nail instead of a torch, if you want to manage and maintain the desired flavor. When you use the e-nail or electric nail, it also heats the surface where the dabbing process takes place, but you are able to manage its temperature in a specific manner; thereby allowing you to perfect the desired temperature. Set your temperature between 550-650°Fahrenheit. That is where the sweet spot seems to be.
Refined Concentrate
Your next step to taste dab that is of the highest quality would be to use refined concentrate. If you are going to ingest concentrate from solvent, then you should make sure that the oil has no contaminate, residue from the solvent or plant matter. It would be better to use live resin instead. Extracts without the use of solvent tend to give an enhanced flavor because it preserves the terpenes. The reason could be the fact that it consists of heads of isolated glandular trichome, which have a lot of terpenes in them.
Final Thoughts
One of the ideal ways to taste dab without the high presence of THC would be to dab CBD. This is an effective way as it relates to dab consumption. If you are not privy to cannabis concentrate for your dabbing process, you can make it for yourself using rosin. This can be done safely from your home. You should give this a try soon!

I'm trying to use Illustrator to recreate a line graph I was given. The problem I'm having is that when I use the graph tool in Illustrator, I can't seem to find any option for increasing the number of divisions on the Y-axis.
This is the original: Line Graph with several Y-labels
And this is what I have so far in Illustrator (I haven't ungrouped it to start the actual design yet): Line graph with too few Y-labels
What I want to do is increase the number of labels on the Y-axis so that they're more similar to the original. I know I can ungroup and manually add the labels, but I'd much rather it be done procedurally to minimize human error.
 - 1
 The toon is extremely basic, it haw no way of doing this. Either use a external app or draw the labels manually. Personally i would use mathematica for this. But i can understand that most people can not afford it. Maybe you could use a script? – joojaa Apr 8 '16 at 7:28
 - yes it is possible I guess with some tricks and hacks. So please if you don't mind please upload the XLS file. I want ti give it a try. – hsawires Apr 8 '16 at 18:02
Yes –
 1. Click on the graph
 2. In the menu bar, navigate to Object \ Graph \ Type...
 3. In the window that pops up, select Value Axis in the drop-down menu
 4. In the area named Tick Values, select Override Calculated Values
 5. Manually set the number of Divisions
Note: Adjusting this setting will reset other customizations you may have made visually to your graph. It's a good idea to get the data portion right before moving on to the design.
Alt/Option click on the graph and select Type (or select the graph, then go Object → Graph → Type).
When this window opens, select the drag down menu for graph options and choose Value axis.
You can then change the range of the values and the number of divisions.

The ability to adapt is critical to survival and varies between individuals. Adaptation of one motor system may be related to the ability to adapt another. This study sought to determine whether phoria adaptation was correlated with the ability to modify the dynamics of disparity vergence. Eye movements from ten subjects were recorded during dynamic disparity vergence modification and phoria adaptation experiments. Two different convergent stimuli were presented during the dynamic vergence modification experiment: a test stimulus (4° step) and a conditioning stimulus (4° double step). Dynamic disparity vergence responses were quantified by measuring the peak velocity (°/s). Phoria adaptation experiments measured the changes in phoria over a 5-min period of sustained fixation. The maximum velocity of phoria adaptation was determined from an exponential fit of the phoria data points. Phoria and dynamic disparity vergence peak velocity were both significantly modified (P < 0.001). The maximum velocity of phoria adaptation was significantly correlated with the changes in convergence peak velocity (r > 0.89; P < 0.001). There was a strong correlation between the ability to adaptively adjust two different oculomotor parameters: a tonic and dynamic component. Future studies should investigate additional interactions between these parameters, and the ability to adaptively change other oculomotor systems such as the saccadic or smooth pursuit system. Understanding the ability to modify phoria, dynamic disparity vergence, and other oculomotor parameters can yield insights into the plasticity of short-term adaptation mechanisms.

Let's say a blue dwarf makes the final connection to the gold. However, there are two paths that one could take to get from the ladder to the gold. One of these paths has a blue door, one of them has no doors. Obviously the blue dwarf would prefer to use the path with the door, so does the player who makes the final connection get to choose what path to use? Or does it go by shortest path to the gold? Basically, what are the rules to determine what path counts as the "final path"?
There's no such concept. The following are the win conditions for the red and blue teams from the rules:
A dwarf from the blue team created the connection, and there is a path that's not blocked by a red door, so the blue team wins, and the red team does not. That's it.
The only way the red team can win if a dwarf from the blue team creates the connection is if the blue team can't win (i.e. every path is blocked by red doors).


If both parents names are on your birth certificate and they are not married, can you carry both their surnames putting your father's first and mother's surname last on your ID card?
If you are applying for your first National ID card and your parents were unmarried at the time of your birth you can have both their surnames placed on your card as your surname, provided that you can show proof that either;
(1) you have used the name throughout your school life by way of a letter from the school or examination certificate (s) or
(2) show other form of ID such as a Passport.
However if you already are in possession of a valid National ID card under either parents surname but you wish to now carry both surnames on your ID, a Protocol of Deed or Deed Poll is required.

Scrapbooking with Sea Glass and Netting
Create a nautical theme by embellishing scrapbook pages with sea glass and coastal netting.
Coastal Netting Pockets
Coastal netting is fine, loosely woven hemp that's very versatile. It's available in a variety of colors and adds a natural, textural accent to scrapbook pages. You can fashion it into pockets for displaying special greeting cards, postcards, brochures, maps or other memorabilia. Here's how to make them:
Materials and Tools:
coastal netting (or any type of netlike fiber)
¼-inch-wide double-sided scrapbook tape
card stock
glitter or embossing powder (optional)
1. Apply scrapbook tape along the bottom edge of the cardstock, allowing the protective cover to remain.
2. Apply two strips of scrapbook tape to the back of the card stock to secure the ends of the netting.
3. Cut a length of netting and press it to the tape on the front of the card stock to secure.
4. Fold the netting over the card stock and adhere the ends to tape on the back of the card stock.
5. Sprinkle glitter or embossing powder over the bottom edge of netting to cover any exposed adhesive, if desired.
Sea Glass Mosaics
Sea glass, aka beach glass, is a popular scrapbook embellishment. Besides simply decorating pages with it, you can use an engraver to carve title letters into the surfaces of pieces. Here's how to work with it:
Materials and Tools:
sea glass
1-inch-wide double-sided scrapbook tape
card stock
engraver (optional)
1. Cover one side of sea glass with scrapbook tape and trim it even with the edge of the sea glass. Note: Be sure the entire surface is covered with tape, or it will show through.
2. Arrange the sea glass into a mosaic pattern on the page, or use them for a page title, engraving letters into the pieces with an engraver.

Word problem on Percentage
In a room with 35 men, 80 percent of the occupants are women. How many women are in the room?
Answer STEP 1:
The percentage of women present in the room is given as 80. So, in a room with only women and men, the percentage of men present will be 100 – 80 = 20.STEP 2:
Since we are given the number of men in the room, we find that it is easy find the number of women, if we know the total number of occupants in the room. Let's assign any variable say x
for the total number of people. Now, let us determine x
Percentage of men × total occupants = Number of menSTEP 3:
The total number of occupants in the room is 175, and the number of men is 35. Subtract 35 from 175 to get the number of women in the room.

TY - JOUR T1 - Do family physicians know the costs of medical care? Survey in British Columbia. JF - Canadian Family Physician JO - Can Fam Physician SP - 263 LP - 270 VL - 50 IS - 2 AU - Allan, G Michael AU - Innes, Grant D Y1 - 2004/02/01 UR - _URL_ N2 - OBJECTIVE To determine the cost of 46 commonly used investigations and therapies and to assess British Columbia family doctors' awareness of these costs. DESIGN Mailed survey asking about costs of 23 investigations and 23 therapies relevant to family practice. A random sample of 600 doctors was asked to report their awareness of costs and to estimate costs of the 46 items. SETTING British Columbia. PARTICIPANTS Six hundred family physicians. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Estimates within 25% of actual cost were considered correct. Associations between cost awareness and respondents'characteristics (eg, sex, practice location) were sought. Degree of error in estimates was also assessed. RESULTS Overall, 283 (47.2%) surveys were returned and 259 analyzed. Few respondents estimated costs within 25% of true cost, and estimates were highly variable. Physicians underestimated costs of expensive drugs and laboratory investigations and overestimated costs of inexpensive drugs. Cost awareness did not correlate with sex, practice location, College certification, faculty appointment, or years in practice. CONCLUSION Family doctors in British Columbia have little awareness of the costs of medical care. ER -

This example shows how to use the Graph Cut option in the Image Segmenter app to segment an image. Graph cut is a semiautomatic segmentation technique that you can use to segment an image into foreground and background elements. Graph cut segmentation does not require good initialization. You draw lines on the image, called scribbles, to identify what you want in the foreground and what you want in the background. The Image Segmenter segments the image automatically based on your scribbles and displays the segmented image. You can refine the segmentation by drawing more scribbles on the image until you are satisfied with the result.
The Graph Cut technique applies graph theory to image processing to achieve fast segmentation. The technique creates a graph of the image where each pixel is a node connected by weighted edges. The higher the probability that pixels are related the higher the weight. The algorithm cuts along weak edges, achieving the segmentation of objects in the image. The Image Segmenter uses a particular variety of the Graph Cut algorithm called lazysnapping. For information about another segmentation technique that is related to graph cut, see Segment Image Using Local Graph Cut (Grabcut) in Image Segmenter.
Read an image into the workspace. For this example, read the sample image
baby.png into the workspace.
b = imread('baby.jpg');
From the MATLAB® toolstrip, open the Image Segmenter app. On the Apps tab, in the Image Processing and Computer Vision section, click Image Segmenter.
On the app toolstrip, click Load, and then select Load Image from Workspace. In the Import from Workspace dialog box, select the image you read into the workspace. The Image Segmenter app displays the image you selected.
You can also open the app using the
imageSegmenter command, specifying the image:
On the Image Segmenter app toolstrip, select Graph Cut.
The Image Segmenter opens a new tab for Graph Cut segmentation. As a first step in Graph Cut segmentation, mark the elements of the image that you want to be in the foreground. When the Image Segmenter opens the Graph Cut tab, it preselects the Mark Foreground option. To mark an object as foreground, draw a line (also called a scribble) over the object. When you draw a line, try to include all the different values in the object you want to segment. You can draw as many separate lines as you like. If you are not satisfied with the lines you draw, you can always edit them. Click Erase and move the cursor over any part of the line you want to remove. If want to start over, click Clear Markings.
Next, click Mark Background and draw scribbles to mark the elements of the image you want to be the background. When you finish drawing the lines, the Image Segmenter immediately performs the segmentation (shown in blue).
To refine the segmentation, continue drawing foreground and background lines. For example, there are several areas near the bottom of the image that need to be removed from the foreground. To fix these problems, draw additional background lines on these parts of the image.
To get a better look at the segmentation, click Show Binary.
When you are satisfied with the segmentation, click Create Mask in the toolstrip on the Graph Cut tab. The app closes the Graph Cut tab and returns you to the Segmentation tab.
When you return to the main Segmentation tab, you can use tools to refine the mask image, such as Morphology and Active Contours. To save the mask image, click Export. You can also use the Export option to obtain the code the Image Segmenter app used to create the segmentation.

Beijing, Mar 2 (IANS/EFE) Authorities in the central Chinese province of Henan inaugurated a road that is designed to play music as vehicles pass over it, the media said.
Hundreds of narrow ribbons are arrayed across a 300-meter stretch of the road in such as way as to play a tune as vehicles pass.
The vehicles must be travelling at a minimum speed of 40 kph to correctly sound the notes.
The road, located inside the Changge nature reserve, plays either the Chinese national anthem or the traditional favourite "Molihua" (Jasmine), depending on which direction the vehicles are moving.
It is China's first musical road, though similar thoroughfares exist in Japan, South Korea and Denmark, where the idea of turning a road into a musical instrument originated in 1994.
The Danes who built the first tuneful road dubbed it the "asphaltophone".
California once had its own musical road, but authorities had to repave it after area residents complained about constant noise as some drivers were driving back and forth just to make the song play.

It's no secret that being warm often makes it harder to sleep. Researchers even theorized that maybe an increase in body temperature after eating extremely spicy food affects sleep quality. Tabasco sauce, for example, has an ingredient that can stimulate the metabolism.


In a short form "Trekking is an act of walking for pleasure".
Trekking is walking along the mountain/ Hill / Himalayan trails for pleasure or sports. It provides an opportunity to explore the villages, villagers, valleys, mountains and its interior. So trekking means foot travel on mountain trails.
The Wikipedia's definition of trekking: "Trekking is a form of walking, undertaken with the specific purpose of exploring and enjoying the scenery. It usually takes place on trails in areas of relatively unspoiled wilderness. "

The Bloodstone Lands: Legacies
Every new level (including 1st) each PC adds 3 hero points to their character sheet. These points DO NOT roll over to the next level so use 'em or lose 'em.
Bonus Hero Points can be gained through good roleplay, these bonus points must also be used by the next level or lost.
How to use hero Points:
It's pretty easy. Whenever you roll a D20 you can use a Hero Point to add an additional die to the roll. You must use the Hero Point BEFORE the roll. Once used a Hero Point is gone. One exception to the above rule is for damage. You may use a Hero Point to add or subtract to any damage you roll or take. Again, you must declare the Hero Point used before rolling the damage dice.
Thus Hero Points can be used for all the following rolls: attack, damage, saves and skill checks.
How Much Do Hero Points Add to Your Roll:
Depends on your level:
1-5 = D4
6-10 = D6
11-15 = D8
16-19 = D10
20 = D12

Situations that make us try to restart the Apple Watch :
- Hang the apple due to wrong operation during software update
- A lot of lag after a long time of use
- Do not install new software from iPhone
When you have the above situations, try restarting the Apple Watch in the following 2 ways:
Method 1: Turn off restart ( Restart Apple Watch )
- Press and hold down the Side button until the start screen appears again
- Slide the Power Off bar (Power Off) to turn off Apple Watch
- After Apple Watch has turned off, press and hold the button next to the hip again until the apple logo appears. Apple Watch will be restarted after these operations
- Note: This process cannot be performed if the Apple Watch is being placed on the charging dock.
Method 2: Forced start ( Force restart Apple Watch )
Apple recommends that users only apply this method as a last resort when Apple Watch hangs an apple or doesn't have any feedback. Do the following:
- Press and hold silent while two Digital Crown buttons and Side button at least 10 seconds.
- After seeing Apple Watch appear apple logo, release both buttons at the same time. Apple Watch will restart.
- Note: Do not conduct Force restart if Apple Watch is in the process of updating the software.
Do not hang / lag while copying photos and music from iPhone to Apple Watch:
- Split the number of pictures that you want to copy into Apple Watch, do not copy too much then Apple Watch will easily hang.
- Copy specific music playlist one by one.
- When suspended, stop the copying process and restart Apple Watch as instructed above.
In order not to hang apples during the software update process, you should note the following:
- The Apple Watch battery is over 50% and it is being placed on the charging dock with the charger (Be careful not to touch it to drop it from the charging dock, the Apple Watch will easily hang or restart, very time consuming).
- iPhone needs to be near Apple Watch during the download and installation process (You pay attention while charging don't hold the iPhone around and lose connection with Apple Watch, this is very easy to cause installation error later).
Basically, the Apple Watch works very stable and rarely hangs / lag / slow. However, when you do, you should try to restart each step as before applying other measures.

Study Cycle: 2
Lecturer(s): izr. prof. dr. Habinc Mateja
A student may pass the practical training anytime during the academic year, but it is expectable to pass it during the summer break, when the demand for work in institutions is increased and when the majority of summer research camps are being organized.
The most frequent kinds of feildwork practical training are:
- Fieldwork research; archive work; documentary practical training in various institutions, associations, societies, etc.; which, in their regulary activities need knowledge and skills from the field of ethnology and cultural anthropology. In most cases it is practical training in museums, conservation and heritage institutions, and other cultural, educational and other non-profit institutions and non-governmental organizations, as well as economy establishments in general.
- Fieldwork research workshop (any kind of organized ethnographic fieldwork; summer trainings, summer schools and other kinds of organized project and voluntary work activities at home or abroad). Fieldwork projects and summer schools organized at the department as supplement to regular curricula may be recognized as working activities for practical training.
- Practical training related to project and research of the departmental staff, which can not be provided within foreseen regular teaching hours and lectures, seminars and practical classes, and are confirmed by the head of the department, are organized as additional workload.

Lesser Long-nosed Bats:
Nectar-powered Bat Math!
Counting the Calories in Cactus
Contributed by Ginny Dalton, Bat Biologist
Merlin D. Tuttle,BCI
ever wonder: How much energy does it take to operate a bat? How many
flowers must a bat visit to stay alive?
Get ready to count the calories in a cactus flower! After reading this page,
you'll know everything necessary to answer these questions:
- How many
saguaro flowers does a bat have to visit to sustain it for one day?
- For how
many minutes does a bat have to forage to get the nectar it needs
- How many
saguaro plants do you think would be needed to feed a maternity colony
of 10,000 Leptos?
is the minimum number of hectares of land required to feed a bat
colony containing 10,000
Much Energy to Operate a Bat?
Let's look at how much energy is required by an adult Lepto. Here's an animal
with a big energy demand for its size! (Now, nobody has ever measured this
exactly for Leptos, but we can use information about other bats and extend
the results logically.) It takes roughly 20.2 kcal to maintain one of these
bats for a day. A Lepto uses about 100 times less energy in a day than a human
does, as you can see on the chart below. But it weighs 2,000 times less. Obviously
it takes more energy to operate an ounce of bat that an ounce of human! Why?
Well, for one thing, bats fly--and the energetic cost of flight is high.
*NOTE ABOUT CALORIES: There is confusion in the layman's literature
regarding calories. The calorie in everyday use is actually a kilocalorie (kcal,
also designated Calorie, with a capital "C"), 1000
times larger than a calorie with a lower case "c"). In
fact, the makers of labels on food boxes and cans in the grocery
store are careless in their representation of this energy unit. The
labels correctly use the upper case when stating total Calories of
the food within, but then many of them say "based on a 2,000
calorie diet." Note the lower case "c." If literally
interpreted, it is based on a 2 Cal (or kcal) diet, which doesn't
make any sense. You and I can't live on 2 Calories a day!! They actually
meant to write "Calorie;" instead they wrote "calorie."
Calories in Cactus Flowers
How much energy is available in the nectar of the flowers Leptos visit?
(Lepto is short for Leptonycteris curasoae, or lesser long-nosed bats.)
It has been calculated that the nectar in saguaro flowers is about 24% sugar.
This nectar if very sweet: For comparison, Classic Coke is 10% sugar! Each
flower holds about 1.0 ml (milliliter) nectar. A single bat only takes about
0.1 ml with each visit to a flower. A bat's stomach can hold about 4 ml of
fluid when full. Of those stomachs measured, 3 ml are sugar water and the remaining
1 ml was pollen.
There are about 4 calories (= 0.004 kcal) in a mg (milligram) of sugar. There
is 1.0 mg sugar in each microliter (.001 ml) of nectar. So how many calories
in 1.0 ml, the amount a flower holds? If a bat drains an entire flower, how
many visits would the bat have to make to the flower? And how many total calories
would it get from that single flower? (Don't forget to multiply your answer
in cal/ml by 0.24 since the nectar contains only 24% sugar.) I got 960 cal
(0.960 kcal) in a single flower that contains 1.0 ml nectar. So, since a bat
takes about 0.1 ml for each visit, a bat would have to visit about 10 flowers
to get those 960 cal.
Q. How many flowers total
does a bat have to visit to sustain it for one day (20,200 cal = 20.2
8 flowers per saguaro per night, how many saguaro plants would have
to be visited? _______
it takes about 30 seconds per visit to a flower (that includes transit
time to the flower) for one sip (0.1 ml) of nectar. That makes us wonder:
Q. For how
many minutes does a bat have to be flying to get the nectar
it needs each day (24 hours)? _____________
More Bat Math: Mama and Baby Bats
Each female gives birth to a single young each year.
Just think how much energy will be needed by the pregnant bats
after they give birth and start nursing! Not enough information
is available for calculating the exact requirements for pregnant
females, but a near-term fetus of a 22- gram female bat can weigh
as much as 8 grams. A pregnant bat carrying that heavy a load can
require about 40% more power for flight. Of all the calculations
conducted on females during the various reproductive stages, lactation
(when the young are nursing) is the most energetically demanding
on the female.
that, for the two months a female is pregnant, she requires an average
of 27 flowers per night, since pregnant females require more energy.
During pregnancy, how many flowers will one female require? ______
How many flowers will be required by 10,000 females? _______From studies
conducted around Tucson, Arizona, the average saguaro produces 295
flowers per plant per growing season. (A single plant blooms from 27
to 61 days and each plant can produce from 82 to 980 blossoms!)
Q. How many saguaro
plants do you think would be needed to feed a maternity colony
of 10,000 Leptos? _________
are 6 saguaro plants per hectare on average. Using the figure of 295
flowers per plant per nearly 2-month season, what is the minimum number
of hectares of land required to feed a bat colony containing 10,000
pregnant bats? _______________


The Working Classes in Revolutionary France
 - 1830 / 1832
 - 1848
 Works Cited
 - Where did the working class live?
 Boarding Houses
 Boarding Houses
 Workers who were just arriving in the city, whether for the season or forever, typically lived in boarding houses. Boarding houses were usually filled with workers who had come from the same region, and a newly arrived worker would seek out the boarding house from his region. There he would likely receive a warm welcome and help getting adjusted and finding a job.
 Boarding houses typically rented what they called furnished rooms by the night, week, or month. The rooms actually consisted only of dormitory style plank beds. Workers would often be assigned two to a bed with someone they had never met before. They, however, probably saw it as somewhat of an improvement over country life where families typically slept with the livestock.
 This picture shows a cross section of a typical apartment building. The working classes would occupy the fourth and most likely part of the fifth floor.
 Parisian House, about 1850.
 Workers who had families, or who had been established for longer often moved into apartments. They typically consisted of one or two rooms, which might be shared by more than one family or more than one generation of the same family. In addition, they also served as a workshop in many cases. For example, the husband of the family might be a weaver, in which case the looms would be set up around the apartment and the whole family would work on the weaving during the day.
 Apartment buildings of the time were typically large stone buildings with very little light or ventilation. The working class apartments in the building often did not have a fireplace or any other source of heat, and might not even have candles for light. this contibuted to the great popularity of cafes. An apartment building might have shared water and toilet on a landing or in a courtyard which all the families in the building would use. Because all provisions, including water had to be carried up the stairs, working class apartments usually occupied the upper or upper two floors of any building. The apartments might be as high as the sixth or seventh floor.
 The information on working class housing is taken from Traugott, p17-18 and throughout, as well as Maynes.

Ford Focus ST-Line and ST Fuel Consumption
There are multiple factors to consider when buying a new or used car that will likely affect its initial price point as well as any other costs that may be incurred later in its lifetime. Fuel cost is one recurring cost that is often subject to change and is often dependent on the car and its fuel consumption, it can also have an impact on the CO2 emissions of your car so it's an important factor to consider.
Whether you're buying a used or new Ford Focus, being aware of the ongoing costs may have an impact on the model you choose to buy.
This guide is intended to provide an overview of the Ford Focus ST and ST-Line, with the aim being to provide an informed decision when comparing these models to other vehicles on the market.
In this guide:
Learn more about the impact that fuel consumption can have on the ongoing running costs of your new or used car.
Find out more about the fuel consumption rates for the Ford Focus ST range.
Find out more about the fuel consumption rates for the Ford Focus ST-Line range.
Learn more about the key differences between the Ford Focus ST and Ford Focus ST-Line
Fuel consumption impact on running costs
Fuel consumption makes up a large portion of the running costs for a vehicle. In most cases, it will be the largest ongoing running cost, especially for older models. The average UK household spends 14% of its total budget on fuel, totalling up to around £1,100.
The amount of fuel that a car uses, whether diesel or petrol, is known as its fuel consumption. Many different variables contribute to a given car's fuel consumption from the design of the vehicle chassis to the size of its engine and your driving style. The more energy a vehicle can utilise from its fuel, the more fuel efficient it is.
This is then measured in terms of how far the car can travel in miles for every gallon in the tank, often written as MPG (miles per gallon). The higher the MPG, the better, as it means fewer refuelling stops and more money saved.
Ford Focus ST fuel consumption
The Ford Focus ST is a hatchback that comes with increased performance with a top speed of 155mph, as well as a sport mode. There are two options available for the engine in the form of a 2.3 litre petrol or 2.0 litre diesel engine.
The turbocharged petrol engine can be extremely thirsty when really put to the test and driven fast. However, when driven normally, it achieves an average of 34 MPG, bringing it to the same level as the UK average. This is, in part, due to the EcoBoost Ford engine technology which only injects the right amount of fuel into the engine when it is needed.
The 2.0 litre diesel ST model does manage to squeeze more out of the tank than its petrol-fuelled counterpart. This comes in at around 50 MPG which is close to 20% above the average for a modern diesel car.
Fuel consumption for Ford Focus ST-Line
The Ford Focus ST-Line is a less powerful version of the ST but still comes with all the sporty exterior trim and details. Due to the smaller engine, the ST-Line can be pushed further in terms of fuel consumption and efficiency at the cost of a top speed of 130mph compared to 150mph for the ST.
The petrol version is, again, powered by Ford's EcoBoost petrol engine and can produce around 50-54 MPG. The much smaller 1.0 litre engine is the reason for this dramatic increase when compared to the sportier Ford Focus ST.
As can be expected, the diesel-fuelled ST-Line squeezes yet more MPG from the engine, with an official rating of 54-58 MPG for the 1.5L. and 57-60 MPG for the 2.0L versions. This makes it the most fuel-efficient of the entire new Ford Focus range, making it a popular choice.
Differences between Ford Focus ST/ST-Line
The differences between a used or new Focus ST and ST-Line in terms of MPG are clear, with a near doubling of mileage gains from the fuel that's put into the tank, whether it's petrol or diesel.
For those wanting the additional power and performance, then the Ford Focus ST is a reliable and easily maintained choice. However, for those who are looking to reduce fuel costs but keep the same reliability, the ST-Line will provide more value. The Ford Focus ST-Line is the best choice when it comes to fuel efficiency so if you want a Ford Focus model with lower ongoing costs, this is the car for you.
These differences are not only important for fuel economy but also for vehicle taxation. The ST-Line will incur a higher tax cost simply due to the fuel type, larger engine size and increased CO2 output, all of which are a factor when calculating standing vehicle tax.
In summary
As we have already mentioned, fuel cost is the most significant of all the standing costs of a vehicle over the course of its lifetime. As the car depreciates over time, the efficiency of its engine will reduce.
By buying a car with an efficient engine, that depreciation will be mitigated and the value gained from owning a vehicle that can travel further for less will be maintained. This means that initial cost benefit calculations from fuel savings will stay true for longer when factoring in time and use wearing the engine out.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the tissue retraction and gingival healing in pulsed laser (diode 980 nm and Nd:YAG 1064 nm lasers) gingival retraction in comparison with the conventional mechanical or surgical techniques (double cord and electrosurgery). Materials and Methods: A group of 103 adult patients, 45 women, 58 men (mean age 42, range 19 to 52 years) scheduled for fixed and implant prosthetic rehabilitation was recruited, and four impression techniques were compared: the double cord technique, the electrosurgery technique, the 980-nm diode and the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser technique. Patient were randomly placed into four groups according to impression-taking technique. Thirty impressions were taken in each group, for a total of 110 elements each. The preferred impression materials were addition silicones (polyvinyl siloxanes) (2nd generation). The outcome was measured by the bleeding index (during the impression taking and after 15 days) and gingival retraction (after 15 and 30 days). Results: Compared to the conventional techniques, both laser techniques proved to be less aggressive in terms of absence of gingival bleeding (99.2% vs 92.7%). There were also fewer cases of gingival retraction than with the conventional technique (2.2% vs 10%). Conclusion: This study suggests that the laser technique can be valuable for implant prosthetic rehabilitation. While both the conventional and laser techniques are satisfactory in achieving gingival retraction, the laser techniques may be less traumatic to the periodontal tissue.
Keywords: impression techniques, diode 980 nm laser, Nd:YAG laser, electrosurgery, polyvinyl siloxanes, gingival retraction, oral soft tissue surgery

The 'Real' Triple Crown
2002-195 trophy
In 2006 a silver shield was produced as the physical embodiment of an idea that had existed since 1894. The Triple Crown was first made reference to by the Irish Times in 1894 after Ireland had defeated England, Wales and Scotland in a single season for the first time. Since then the notion of a mythical crown has been a firm part of rugby lexicon and the Triple Crown is one of several accolades contested annually during the 6-Nations Championship.
1914 Triple Crown Illustration
However the 2006 shield was not the first such trophy to have been proposed. In 1975 Dave Merrington, a retired miner from County Durham, sculpted an ornate crown embellished with an English rose, Irish shamrock, Scottish thistle and Welsh Prince of Wales feathers out of a piece of coal that had been hewn from the Haig Colliery in Whitehaven, Cumbria.
This 'Real' Triple Crown was then offered to the four home unions as a trophy for whichever team successfully defeated the other three. Tudor Jones, sports editor for Coal News, campaigned for several years to have the trophy accepted by the unions but eventually conceded defeat when Gareth Edwards and Gerald Davies, themselves sons of miners, sIMG_0554aid that they would prefer for the crown to remain the stuff of legend.
The 'Real' Triple Crown however lived on. In 2000 it was formally presented to the World Rugby Museum by former England centre Jeff Butterfield.

 There are several types of coal, with different calorific values and density. The coal used for the Triple Crown is anthracite, which is very hard and has a high calorific value and therefore expensive to buy.

 The timing is interesting. 1894 completed a cycle, never since repeated, in which all four countries won in turn in as many seasons. That also included the first Triple Crowns for Scotland (1891), Wales (1893) and Ireland (1894). So it marks a point at which beating the other three becomes a serious feat, since all are potential winners themselves. There's a similar significance to the arrival of the Grand Slam as a concept in the late 1950s. I interviewed several players who took part in Wales's Grand Slam seasons of 1950 and 1952 more than 50 years after that achievement. They all remembered it in terms of the Triple Crown. That's because it was still assumed that any team good enough to win the Triple Crown would also beat France. By the mid 1950s this was no longer the case (and only about half the Triple Crown winners since have completed a Slam) so the new term reflected a changing reality.

 - Thanks Huw, that's interesting to hear the 1950s Welsh player's perspective. Our understanding is that it was the Times newspaper that first coined the term 'Grand Slam' (as it applies to northern hemisphere rugby) the day before England achieved a clean-sweep in 1957.

 Who was the 1st team to win The Triple Crown made from Coal
 4. Hi Carin, the trophy was never awarded but Wales were the first side to win a Triple Crown (1976) after it was carved.

4.8 Honors
By typing VIEW HONOURS you may see some publically available
information about that player. This information should be considered
generally known enough as to be common knowledge.
 VIEW HONOURS
 HONOURS
A typical honours would be as follows:
Lady Asteria, Watcher of the Heavens.
She is 140 years old, having been born on the 6th of Severin, year 89 of
the Midnight Age.
She is ranked 413th in Aetolia.
She is a Vagabond in the Fellowship of Explorers.
She is a member of the clan called 'The Ohmsford Clan'.
She has written a personal background.
She is considered to be approximately 50% of your might.
The first line shows the person's name and title. The second shows her
age, as well as the date that she was born. Next comes her overall rank
in Aetolia. This is based solely on the amount of experience she has
gained, and a full list of the experience rankings can be seen in
RANKINGS (or RANKINGS [#]).
Then is her rank in the Fellowship of Explorers. This is a measure of
how much of Aetolia she has explored - when you compare to HELP
EXPLORERS, she hasn't explored very much at all!
Afterwards come any clans she has joined, or that she might be in
possesion of, that are available to public view. She appears to be in a
family clan and nothing more, though there may be hidden ones!
The next line shows that she has written a background. If she were a
real character, you could VIEW BACKGROUND ASTERIA to try to read it.
After that is an approximation of her might compared to your own. This
is based solely on how many lessons both you and she have spent learning
your skills. Someone who is 0% your might has probably learned very
little, and someone who is 3000% your might obviously has spent a lot of
time on their backside learning.
You will find other information when using the command, but these are
the most common ones.
