Book Description
If we do stop to think on housing, what do we see? What is housing and what does it do? These seem deceptively simple questions, but they are often left unanswered. The reason for this is that a lot of discourse on housing is really a concern for policy-making and the critical evaluation of existing policies. Discourse, is not, properly speaking, on housing at all. It is concerned with provision, distribution and access, but this thinking on housing stops at the front door. It is only concerned with what is actually external to housing.
But for most people, housing already exists and they have access to it. Housing is not then about policy, but about how we can use what is a complex object in a manner that allows us to live well. Housing, for most of us, is about what we do when the front door is firmly shut and we are free from the external world.
These essays explore this idea of housing as an object that exists for use. Housing is pictured as an object that contains activity. These pieces look at what we do with housing once we have it and so provides a necessary underpinning for any understanding of why housing is important.
A further purpose of these pieces is to present different ways of thinking and writing on housing. It is an attempt to show that housing is a suitable topic for philosophical discourse. It is suggested that we can and should seek to establish a philosophy of housing, rather than just relying on the traditional social sciences.

text: This is a pioneering work. Recent disasters such as the tsunami disaster continue to demonstrate Professor Allinsons thesis that valuing human lives is the core of ethical management. His unique comparison of the ideas of the power of Fate and High Technology, his penetrating analysis of the very concept of an 'accident', demonstrate how concepts rule our lives. His wide-ranging investigation of court cases and government documents from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries, and from places as diverse as the USA, UK and New Zealand provide ample supporting evidence for the universality and the power of explanation of his thesis. Saving Human Lives will have an impact beyond measurement on the field of management ethics.

Carnival of Genealogy, 77th Edition is about Disasters. The prompt states "For the next Carnival of Genealogy, tell about a disaster that one or more of your ancestors lived through: Did they survive a hurricane, flood, tornado, train wreck, sinking ship, plague, genocide, explosion, mine collapse, or some other terrible event? How did they survive?"
Anna Maria (Mary) Warner, my 5th great grandmother, was baptised in 1735 in Schoharie New York. She was descended from Palatines who fled starvation and religious persecution in Germany for New York in 1710. In 1757 at the age of 22 she married Isaac Van Valkenburg, descendant of Dutch settlers to New Netherland (and a Mohawk great great grandmother named Lydia Van Slyke)
When the American Revolution broke out in 1775, Mary and her husband remained loyal to the King even though Isaac's father was a Patriot,
Isaac was imprisoned in Albany three times by the Americans for his loyalty to the British King. After his release in 1777, Isaac joined the Loyalist unit Butler's Rangers and fled to Canada. Mary was left with ten children ages 2 to 18 years.
Mary continued to aid the British, and in 1779 she and the children were taken from their home at North River, New York, by American patriots. Their home and all their clothing and belongings were burned by the patriots. The patriots then forced Mary and eight of her children (two of her sons ages 14 and 18 had already joined their father in Butler's Rangers) to march 80 miles north through the forest. There they were abandoned by the Patriots and left to die. Mary's youngest child was only 4 years old.
An excerpt from one of the affidavits presented to the Council when Isaac petitioned for his land grant in 1797 briefly describes Isaac's imprisonment and Anna Maria's ordeal.
Luckily friendly Indians found the family and took them to Montreal where they joined Isaac and the other Loyalist families who had made it to safety. In Montreal, the starving Loyalists were given food, blankets and minimal clothing. The British government had not made provisions for so many Loyalists' families arriving with nothing but the clothes on their backs. For 5 difficult years the Loyalists and their families were quartered at a small barracks and given a meager allowance of food rations, blankets and clothing by the Government.
But the family survived, and Mary with Isaac and 9 of their children agreed to join other Rangers and families who were promised land in the Niagara area of Ontario. In April 1784 the family arrived at Niagara, where they would make their home. Rations were still dispensed to the settlers as after 5 years of living with nothing to call their own, they still had no land, and no homes. Again they were quartered in barrack style living and so they began to build their own shelters on land that was not theirs.
A descendant of one of the refugee families states that the family dinner-table was a huge stump, hewn flat on top, standing in the middle of the floor. When their clothing wore out, the settlers made new garments from deerskin.
They also had yet to endure (and survive!) what became known as "The Hungry Year" in 1787 In that year the government stopped giving out food rations. But there was a drought, then a freezing winter, and no grain crop or supplies. Many families had neither guns nor powder to shoot what game was near. Many starved that winter in Upper Canada (Ontario). The Loyalists and their families were reduce to eating leaves and drinking water which had been boiled with a bit of bark in it. Mary's oldest son soon gave up and returned to New York where he married and raised his family.
And yet Mary and her husband and children survived. They suffered one trial after another – the free land promised had not been forthcoming and had to be petitioned for. That meant writing out lengthy pleas stating the reasons why they felt they were qualified to receive the land. Statements and affidavits had to be gathered from those who had known them back in New York (or wherever they once lived)
Loyalists and their families had to present their petitions for free land to the Council where they were read and then a decision made. Even if a Loyalist received his grant of land it was not likely to be the land where he had begun building his new home. Families were often separated and older men who had counted on their young sons being next door to help them clear the land and farm it, were suddenly on their own. Their sons might be hundreds of miles away.
Life had been a struggle for Mary and her family from 1775 until 1797 when she and Isaac were finally granted their 500 acres near what is now St. Catharines Ontario. 22 years of hardship, danger and starvation – far from home and with family left behind. How many of us could (or would!) endure that for the sake of remaining loyal to a distant ruler? I admire Mary and Isaac and all the Loyalist families tremendously for their courage, their spirit and their refusal to commit what was in their minds, an absolute betrayal to King and country.

ADE carried out data collection activities during three weeks in April and May 2023 in close contact with key stakeholders and local partners.
During the field phase, on-site visits to projects in sectors including transport, agriculture, power, water, social, public, and private were carried out. These field visits will support a comprehensive assessment of the projects and their effects on the ground. By conducting these field visits and engaging with various stakeholders, ADE's evaluation team sought to gather first-hand information and insights.
The evaluation aims to assess the design and implementation of the AfDB's strategy, programs, and operations. It also aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the AfDB's CSPs in achieving expected development outcomes. Additionally, the evaluation will identify operational factors that either facilitated or hindered successful implementation. The goal is to derive evidence-based lessons that can contribute to the improved design and implementation of the next cycle of the AfDB's CSP in Kenya.


Tattoo Survey Results – What Do People Think?
0 10
In a survey done a few years back in the U.S., about 16% of respondents have at least one tattoo. That is about 1 in 6 people or 40 million Americans, and the popularity among both sexes are about the same.
Of all the respondents with tattoos, more females (42%) felt that having a tattoo made them feel sexier versus males (25%). The differences in thought between the female and male are to be expected since traditionally the females are more inclined to accessorize (i.e. makeup and lingerie) to be attractive. About a third (29%) felt the tattoos made them more rebellious and the same percentage for handling attractive. As expected, not many people (around 5%) felt their tattoos made them more intelligent or healthy or athletic.
Of those respondents who do not have tattoos, 42% felt that people with tattoos are less attractive, and 36% thought it made those with a tattoo less sexy. About a third (31%) thought people with a tattoo would be less intelligent, and 57% thought it made the person more rebellious. My take on this is that it depends on the tattoo design; some tattoos are tastefully done and are works of art.
One interesting difference between the tattoo haves and have-nots is the notion of rebelliousness (29% vs 57%). The percentage gap likely will slowly close as people change their perception of tattoos, and the art gets more accepted as a form of self-expression without the negative connotations.
Only 17% who had a tattoo regret their decision. The main reasons are that they had a named tattoo, do not like the design they picked, the design tends to fade over time, the decision to get a tattoo was stupid, it was more visible than what they envisioned, and they had trouble getting jobs.
In summary, ensure that you do some thorough research before making a tattoo design decision. You can find great tattoo ideas and designs on the internet. Keep in mind that your decision can impact your social life, career, and ultimately your self-image.

Fowl usually refers to birds belonging to one of two biological orders, namely the gamefowl or landfowl (Galliformes) and the waterfowl (Anseriformes). It happens that birds in these groups are good to eat, and often hunted by gun. So the word 'fowl' may be used for a gamebird.
Studies of anatomical and molecular similarities suggest these two groups are close evolutionary relatives. Together, they form the fowl clade, the Galloanserae. This clade is also supported by morphological and DNA sequence data, as well as retrotransposon data.

A Practical Guide to Collaborative Writing Assignments in Financial Accounting Courses
The accounting profession has recently stressed the importance of including formal writing assignments in the accounting curriculum. Since most accounting educators do not have training in the design, execution and evaluation of writing assignments, implementing such changes has proven difficult. Furthermore, the accounting literature provides few detailed examples of continually relevant projects that instructors can easily adopt. This paper highlights the role that a collaborative writing assignment can play in accounting education and provides instructors with practical guidance in the use of such an assignment. The group writing exercise described here: (1) familiarize students with the conceptual and practical aspects of the financial accounting standard-setting process, (2) emphasizes the importance of written communication skills to accountants, (3) provides students with the opportunity to practice their analytical and critical thinking skills using a writing-to-learn approach, and (4) requires students to organize and synthesize their communications for a particular audience.

What is Cadence? Why do we care about it? How can we improve it?
These are three questions that I want to answer today from the mountain bikers point of view.
What is cadence?
Cadence is the number of revolutions your crank and pedals make each minute. In short and simple terms, it's how fast your feet are moving as you ride.
Most cyclists gained a lot of familiarity with what cadence is after Lance Armstrong took his Tour De France wins. Lance blew away the competition with a high cadence that helped him to maintain a fast and consistent speed through climbs and time trials. Most of the TDF riders rode at a cadence of 60-80 RPM. Lance, on the other hand, rode at an astonishing 90-110 RPM. Since then, cadence has become one of the most talked about disciplines of road cyclists and triathletes.
Why should mountain bikers care about cadence?
Roadies and triathletes don't have to dodge trees, rocks, and jump over suicide squirrels, right?
Right. But in addition to maintaining consistent speeds, it is also about using more slow-twitch muscle fibers as you ride. Slow-twitch muscle fibers do three things that hold incredible value to all mountain bikers:
 1. Slow-twitch muscle fibers burn fat as fuel allowing you to continually lean down and continue working for longer efforts
 2. They have a much higher endurance level and are more resistant to fatigue
 3. And slow-twitch fibers recover more quickly when given short rest
These slow-twitch muscle fibers are needed for any ride, but especially rides over 2 hours and endurance events. Cadence will also help with extended climbing and maintaining speed in long inclines and open field sections. Instead of coming out of the saddle and pushing the big gear as hard as you can, pick a gear or two easier and increase your pedal rotation speed. This helps to conserve endurance and energy for later in the ride or race.
On the other end of the spectrum we have fast twitch muscle fibers that require high amounts of glucose energy (of which you have a basic limit of 2000 calories), take longer to recover, and fatigue very quickly because of the high level of output.
Think of it like the difference between a marathon runner (slow-twitch) and a sprinter (fast-twitch).
Using a faster cadence, you reduce the amount of fast twitch muscles being used, decrease the watt output per pedal stroke and normalize the total watt output to a more sustainable level. Using a cadence that is too low will result in building up lactic acid in your legs before it's really necessary. Lactic acid is what creates the burning sensation in your muscles. Using a cadence that is too fast will exhaust your legs from wasted energy on excessive spinning.
Our goal is to find that "sweet spot" in the middle that has a cadence of around 85-95 RPM and is pushing a big enough gear to maintain speed.
How do we improve our cadence?
First off, get a cadence sensor for your cycling computer. If you are new to cadence training, you aren't going to have a clue what RPM you are pedaling at without one. Being able to quickly look down and find out where you're at is a must to improve this technique. My personal choice and suggestion is the Cateye Strada Double Wireless Cycling Computer. It's easy to install and even easier to use.
A lot of improving cadence is muscle memory. You train your legs to spin at faster speeds for much longer periods of time. So we are focused on setting a new rhythm that increases our pedal speed. Here are three ways to do that.
Spin Intervals
Hop on your bike and get a nice 5 minute warm up. Once you're warm, push your cadence to 90 RPM and hold it for 1 minute. After 1 minute, cool back down at your normal cadence then push your cadence to 100 rpm and hold it for 1 minute. Again take a 1 minute break at your normal cadence and then push up to 110 RPM and hold for 1 minute. Now that you're really warm, the fun starts. Take your cadence to 90 RPM and hold it for 1 minute, and after 1 minute go directly to 100 RPM and then on to 110 RPM. After spending 1 minute at each RPM level, take a 2 minute break at your normal cadence. Then jump back in and spend 2 minutes at 90, 100, and 110 RPM. You can keep going, or start a cool down session at this point.
What is Cadence? What is proper cycling form?
Try to keep even pressure in all 4 directions to create a smooth circle or square motion..
Focus on technique
While riding, focus on making a smooth circle or a box with your feet. So as the pedal rotates, you are pushing down at the front, pulling up when it is in the back, and moving it forward and backward along the sides. Check out the image to the right for a better look at how that is done.
Road Riding
As much as it does pain me to say this again, riding on the road is one of the best ways to improve your mountain biking. Long distances in the saddle without trees, creeks and rocks to avoid gives you more focus to put on holding and maintaining a higher cadence. If you're still relatively new to cycling at all, find a long flat road and ride at a cadence of 80 RPM. Then the next week bump that up to 85 RPM. Keep increasing that number until you get comfortable with keeping your cadence at 95-100 for an entire ride. Then increase the gearing so that you have to fight keeping it as high as 85 RPM and work back up the ladder.
Repeat these techniques and you will be blowing your cycling buddies away. If you want to get faster, this is one of the strongest training methods available.
This post is not to say that a high-cadence is better than a slow cadence. Every cyclist has their own "sweet spot" that they perform best at. This is simply to start a discussion about one way that you can improve your mountain biking. Be sure to share this with your riding buddies and let us know your thoughts on how cadence affects your mountain biking.

African pink jacaranda (Jesse Durko, courtesy )
This monthly feature spotlights a plant well-suited for South Florida gardens.
Stereospermum kunthianum, the African pink jacaranda, produces lots of pink trumpet-shaped blooms from February to April. The bright blooms cover the tree particularly heavily after extended drought periods. They are carried in large pendulous panicles and appear before the new foliage emerges. Individual blooms are 1 1/4 to 2 inches wide and 1 1/4 inches long. The lower corolla lip is streaked with red markings, standing out against the overall pink coloration.
The foliage is pinnate with an average of four pairs of leaflets and terminal leaflet. The overall leaf averages 10 inches in length with leaflets about 3 1/4 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. Leaves are green above and yellow-green below with prominent veins.
The pink jacaranda varies considerably in size depending on where it grows. Trees growing in moist locations can attain 40 feet in height, whereas trees in very dry rocky areas may only reach 10-15 feet. The dark gray bark sometimes peels like a sycamore, which is ornamental. Sandy well-drained soil and sun are preferred for best growth.

Energy futures prices and the US dollar exchange rate
Raymond Li
Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review
4 Citations (Scopus)
This paper evaluates the relationship among the NYMEX futures prices for crude oil, unleaded gasoline, heating oil and the US trade-weighted exchange rate. The motivation is to update and extend the literature in an attempt to determine the relationship between the US exchange rate and energy prices. In addition, the causal relationships among the energy futures prices are examined. Cointegration is detected among the variables, but contrary to the existing empirical literature, it is found that the US exchange rate can be excluded from the cointegrating space. The Granger causality tests and impulse response functions also indicate that the US exchange rate is not related to the energy prices. The recursive cointegration analysis reveals that the relationship between the US exchange rate and the energy futures prices has faded across time. Australian Economic Papers

Albanian National Archives
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Albanian National Archives (Albanian: Arkivi Qëndror i Shtetit or A.Q.SH) is the official archives of the Republic of Albania. It maintains important papers about Albania. It is in the city of Tirana and has smaller archives around the country. It was started in 1949.[1] It used to be ran by the Party of Labour of Albania, who ran the country. They were Communists. They stopped running the country in 2001 and the Swiss Federal Archives had to help the Albanian National Archives become up to date, because it's collections were damaged and the archives had no computers to help people find papers it has. By 2004, it's collections were fixed and it had computers and people could easily find what they were looking for.[2] The archives had many very important historical documents, including the Codex Beratinus,[3] Codex Beratinus II,[3] and version of the New Testament called the Elbasan Gospel Manuscript.[4] In 2011, the archives started working with the World Digital Library, who puts the archives photographs and books on their website so more people can see them.[5][6]

Collective collections are the combined holdings of a group of libraries, analyzed and possibly managed as a unified resource. Constructing, understanding, and operationalizing collective collections is an increasingly important aspect of collection management for many libraries. This article presents some general insights about collective collections, drawn from a series of studies conducted by OCLC.


What Are You Expected To Do As A Law Intern?
As a law student, you will be expected to do your internship at some point during the course of your study. While you may have some preconceived notions about what it means to intern at a law firm and the tasks you will be undertaking, you won't know for sure until you finally begin your internship. Basically, an internship at a law firm is designed to give law students valuable insight into the professional lives of attorneys and judges. If you're lucky enough to land an internship at a law firm that pays its interns an allowance, good for you! Although, keep in mind that that may not always be the case. That aside, let's take a look at some of the basic responsibilities you can be expected to shoulder as an intern.
1. Observe and learn
The objective of an internship is to better understand what being a lawyer involves, and the best way to do that is to be around… well, lawyers! Observe the partners and associates in your place of internship and take note of these things:
 - How do they manage their time?
 - How do they structure their daily and weekly schedules?
 - How do they manage clients? Is there a protocol to follow when liaising with clients?
 - How do they decide whether to represent a client or otherwise?
 - What are the processes involved in managing a case and who do they liaise with apart from their clients?
 - What is involved in the research process for a case and which resources are used?
 - Where do you get those resources?
 - What is the payment structure and how is it collected?
These are just some of the questions to which you need to get answers during your internship period. Find out all you can about the above and more – garnering as much information and knowledge as you can during your internship will stand you in good stead when you finally graduate and become a full-fledged lawyer. There's only so much you can learn at law school – real world experience is a big part of the rest of your educational journey.
2. Do research
Research plays a huge role when it comes to case preparations and the extent of research required per case often means that lawyers spend long working hours on it each day. This is where you can volunteer and contribute as an intern. Among the tasks you will be carrying out as part of the research process include reviewing precedents and past legislation, fact-checking, drafting memos, writing legislation and updating team members on current events. Subsequently, the research that you've done needs to be compiled and presented to your superiors in an organised and coherent manner, so be sure to find out their preferences and requirements. If you're asked to relay your findings to them in writing, take it as an opportunity to sharpen your legal writing skills. In doing so, you could show initiative by adding value to your research – include your own comments or views to the content. This displays good analytical, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are highly valued in a lawyer. Plus, it will definitely make your superiors sit up and notice, which may pave the way for a job offer upon graduation!
3. Organise and prioritise
If there's one thing that's synonymous with law firms, it's the massive amount of legal paperwork! Research papers, legal documents, client intake forms, billing invoices, time tracking forms, case files, evidence records, the list just goes on and on! With such a large amount of paperwork involved, your superior will be glad to have a helping hand in the form of an intern. Take advantage of this opportunity to make yourself useful and highlight your organisation and prioritisation skills! Arrange case files in a way that makes them easy to find (think colour-coded files in alphabetical order); organise research papers and legal documents in a systematic manner, and help put your superior's court documents in order so that referencing is made easy. Organising is no mean feat, but your internship period is a good time to get started. After all, it's a skill that will come in really handy in the future. Also, be prepared to handle some administrative work in the process – it's common for interns to do traditional clerical work such as taking calls and messages, drafting emails and memos, preparing meeting minutes, transcribing, and scanning and photocopying documents.
4. Acting as courtroom assistant
This role will definitely be one of the highlights of your internship. Debates in moot courts at college couldn't hold a candle to being in the thick of things in a real courtroom, and it definitely beats organising files and taking phone calls! As an intern, it's good to get some exposure to courtroom proceedings and the best way to do so is to function as a courtroom assistant. By assisting in courtroom proceedings, you will gain an in-depth understanding of court processes and protocols. You could also be tasked with preparing documents and files for mediation, which gives you a chance to put what you learnt at college to good use. And if you're lucky, you'll get to witness trial proceedings by being seated beside an attorney. If you intern for a judge, you may even get the chance to listen in when he calls both attorneys to approach the bench!


The Spirited, Lively and Ever-Curious Yorkie Pin
yorkie pin
"Yorkie Miniature Pinscher Mix"
The Yorkie Pin or Yorkshire Pin is a designer breed dog resulting from the crossing of a Miniature Pinscher and a Yorkshire terrier. Also known as the Yorkshire Min-Pin or the Yorkshire Min-Pin mix, it is categorized as a toy dog and is known to be a breed that is friendly and full of fun mixed with innocent mischief.
Yorkie Pins are also best-known for their hyperactive nature, particularly when chasing small animals such as mice and rats. This hunting trait was inherited from both Miniature Pinscher and Yorkshire terrier parents, which were separately bred for the purpose of hunting down rats.
The Yorkie Pin originated in the United States, but there is no information on which group of breeders developed and produced the breed.
Breed Origins
The Miniature Pinscher or Min Pin is a small breed type of dog classified under the companion toy dog group. The Min-Pin's origin is unknown, but it is considered an old breed that was recognized to exist just 200 years ago. The Min-Pin was specifically bred for the purpose of hunting and killing vermin and rats in large animal stables and homes. Full of energy and bearing a happy nature, the Min-Pin is a great addition to a dog-loving family.
The Yorkshire terrier is the other parent breed of the Yorkie Pin. The Yorkshire terrier, also known as the Yorkie, originated in the Yorkshire and Lancashire regions of England in the nineteenth century.
Developed for chasing rodents and rats in woolen and cotton mills, the lovable working class breed became a favorite pet among fashionable ladies of the late Victorian era. Affectionate but at the same time alert and noisy due to its Terrier origins, the Yorkie is one lovable guard dog despite its small size and cute looks.
Physical Looks
The Yorkie Pin's being a cross breed between two parent genes with extremely different appearances can reveal a variety of looks and physical traits in puppies belonging to the same litter.
Yorkie Pins, in general, have a small compact size with brown eyes and a fur color that is either black or brown with a sprinkle of white. The similarity ends when it comes to the dog's coats and ear shape.
The Yorkie gene dominates if the pup reveals a long, flowing coat with pointed ears, and the Miniature Pinscher traits appear if the dog reveals a smooth and shorter coat with ears that are long and much more angular in shape. Either way, the dog will still be cute and cuddly whatever dominating looks it would reveal.
A healthy Yorkie Pin will more or less be small at around 7–13 inches in height and would weigh at around 6-10 pounds. Its coat is considered hypoallergenic if the pup inherits the Yorkshire trait.
yorkie pin dog
Life Expectancy
The Yorkie Min-Pin is expected to live from 12 to 15 years on the condition that adequate care and suitable environment is provided.
Personality and Behavior
The Yorkie Pin exudes confidence, bravery with a dash of eternal curiosity, and a craving to be the center of attention – always. Its hunting trait and alertness to strangers (an occasional but not forceful barking), which was inherited from its parent breeds, makes the Yorkie Pin a good watchdog.
Unfortunately, the inherited traits of hunting ability, curiosity, and fearlessness often lead to innocent mischief. The dog requires constant supervision. It has the habit of escaping out of open doors, which might get your furry friend into trouble.
The yearning for constant attention is also the dog's downside. It has a tendency to follow the owner around the house. If left alone for a long period of time, the dog turns anxious, gets into a panic and an agitated state. It is advised that potential Yorkie Pin owners should not acquire the dog if they cannot guarantee constant companionship.
As much as the Yorkie Pin is loveable, its inherited aggression and fearless attitude might not be appropriate for very young children. Older children, preferably of school-age, might better appreciate the dog's happy and active nature.
Home and Surroundings
The Yorkie Pin, being small in size, can live in any type of dwelling. It can do well in small to large houses, town homes, condominiums or apartments. Like humans, cleanliness and a temperate climate in the home is a must. The home must be cleared of things that the dog can reach, then bite or swallow such as coins, hairpins, keys, shoes, etc.
A newly adopted pup should be exposed to normal household noises to minimize the animal's anxiety and stress. Exposure should be slow and deliberate. Loud noises and heavy or constant foot traffic should be minimized or completely avoided, if possible.
The very active and curious nature of Yorkie Pins exposes them to injuries in the home such as when jumping off furniture. It is best that ramps or doggie steps be attached to sofas or beds to avoid accidents.
A Yorkie Pin puppy is recommended to be fed 3/5 cup dry or commercial food a day, while an adult dog is advised to be fed ½ to 1 cup of dry dog food.
Having inherited its genes from its Yorkie parent, a puppy or adult dog is recommended to be fed at least three times a day to avoid experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Activity for Health
The Yorkie Pin, because of its size and heft, does not require much time and vigorous activity in terms of exercise. On the average, the dog requires medium intensity play at no more than 45 minutes each day, and outdoor walks of at most six miles per week.
Being a designer breed, other factors might come into play when considering the Yorkie Pin's activity needs based on its physical appearance. If the predominant trait is from the Yorkshire terrier parent, your pet would require just 30 minutes of play, while if the Mini Pinscher trait is predominant, 60 minutes of activity would be ideal.
In terms of a full exercise, nothing beats getting out of one's home and encouraging the dog to walk at a regular pace. Aside from the health benefits, a leisurely walk allows the animal to have a lot of fresh air and getting familiar with places, people, and other dogs animals.
A less vigorous activity, but still considered healthy for your dog is sleep. A young pup needs an average of 15 hours of sleep a day, while for an adult an average of 13 to 18 hours a day of sleep is necessary.
Keeping the dog as comfortable as possible is a must, and a good quality dog bed with a pee pad is recommended for quality rest.
yorkie pin puppy
Experts recommend that training a Yorkie Pin must start at a young age or during the puppy stage. The owner/trainer must be gentle but assertive when training the dog. Giving rewards in the form of treats every time the dog accomplishes a task is recommended.
A way to relieve dog anxiety when being introduced to a new environment is to give him long-lasting chew toys or treats.
Proper socialization is necessary to allow the dog to get used to the owner's and the rest of the family's presence. This type of familiarization would result in a confident pet that is ready and willing to meet extended members of the family, friends, and other pets.
In situations that a Yorkie Pin has to be left alone for some time, it is advised that an owner should consider putting the pet in a crate. To minimize stress, the pet should be given enough time to explore the surroundings. The dog should be allowed to freely move in and out of the container.
At the same time, fill the crate with hidden treats and chew toys. This training activity would take some time and should end once the dog shows no sign of anxiety or panic when placed in the enclosure.
Being a designer breed, grooming a Yorkie Pin would depend on its inherited appearance. If the dog gets its look from its Miniature Pinscher parent, then its short coat should be groomed once a week with slicker and pin brushes. If the canine presents a Yorkie appearance, then its long coat must be groomed daily with a pin brush and a comb.
Shedding of the coat is minimal and shampooing will keep the coat looking clean and fresh. Yorkie Pins with long hair need to get periodical trimmings.
Constant brushing of their teeth would help maintain a strong and healthy set of teeth.
Nail clipping is best left to the grooming experts. An uncomfortable, inexperienced, or new dog owner should never clip the dog's nails without having the proper training and confidence.
As far as expenses are concerned, it is estimated that an owner will have to spend from 270 to 370 dollars per year on average for pet grooming, and could be more if constant grooming is a must.
Health Issues
The Yorkie Pin can inherit the Miniature Pinscher and Yorkie's health conditions such as eye problems, hypothyroidism, epilepsy, patellar luxation, and hypoglycemia.
Being a toy dog, it can also acquire illnesses such as ectropion, whelping complications, Legg Calve Perthes Disease, tracheal collapse, pancreatitis or Intervertebral Disk Disease.
These health issues can be avoided with proper physical care, constant attention, and proper diet. A medical record should be kept or should be requested if one is not the original owner or breeder.
Preventive health costs, which include vet visits and examinations, deworming, blood tests, vaccinations, flea treatment/prevention, and vaccine shots would cost a yearly average of 435 to 535 dollars.

Modernization differs from rehabilitation, which simply returns a deteriorated project or structures to their original new state. Rehabilitation by itself typically only perpetuates the vicious cycle of rehabilitation, deterioration, rehabilitation, etc.
A modern irrigation design is the result of a thought process that selects the configuration and the physical components in light of a well-defined and realistic operation plan that is based on the service concept. A modern irrigation design is not defined by specific hardware components and control logic. Advanced concepts of hydraulic engineering, irrigation engineering, agronomy, and social science should be used to arrive at the most simple and workable solution (Plusquellec et al., 1994).

Pakistan's Daily Times has the scoop on China's newest museum;
China is building a giant underwater museum to preserve and exhibit an ancient shipwreck. The museum, the first of its kind in the world, is to contain a sunken ship more than 800 years old and its treasures.
Archaeologists say the ship is China's most exciting underwater excavation. Named the Southern Sea Number One, it lies under 24 metres of water and two metres of sand and soil.
Archaeologists took more than 6,000 treasures from one small room on the ship in 2002. The Guangdong provincial government has now allocated £10 million to building a five hall underwater museum to preserve the wreck.
Expert's say, "Since the ship and its treasures have become accustomed to being underwater, it's better to keep them there." Read More…

Make Truck Tracks!
Using different tools to express oneself through paint is a preschooler's dream. Having him discover how different tools create different images helps his brain expand to think beyond just a paintbrush. Plus, it's pretty cool to dip regular items into paint and see what happens!
With this craft, all you need are some old toy trucks and some paint and paper. Your child will be amazed to see how things other than paintbrushes can create beautiful images. He'll have a whole new interpretation of "truck driving" after finishing this creative craft!
What You Need:
- Toy trucks (plastic is preferable since it's easier to clean when finished)
- Paint trays (at least 4)
What to Do:
- Place several toy trucks on the table in a tray.
- Place a large sheet of butcher paper or white paper in front of each child. You may want them to wear a smock or some protective clothing because they're going to get messy!
- Put one color of paint in each tray and place them on the table.
- Have the kids take a truck and roll it in the paint and then roll the truck on the paper. It seems simple, but the kids will really be amazed to see their toy truck leaving behind such colorful tracks.
- Encourage the kids to use different trucks on the same paper and talk about why the trucks with larger wheels make larger tracks, etc. They won't want to use a boring old paintbrush again!

Elite Guice 3: Private BindingsIn the first and second parts of this series, I discussed hooks for extending Guice. In this post I introduce private bindings.
Don't emulate Guice
The key to a good extension is tight integration with Guice. In particular, the extension shouldn't copy functionality from Guice; doing so can lead to subtle differences between the extension and Guice itself. The assisted inject extension reimplements constructor injection and that causes problems:
- Standard Guice can inject private constructors, but I forgot to do configure this in assistedinject.
- AOP doesn't work for assistedinject-created objects
These differences aren't dealbreakers, but they do make the extension harder to use, and they violate the principal of least surprise. A better assistedinject would have used Guice's constructor injection.
The Injector is just a bunch of bindings
In the Multibindings extension, we secretly create a binding for each element in the set. These bindings are implementation details of the extension, but they need to be bound in the shared injector.
We have to somehow create the bindings without a chance of conflicting with user-supplied bindings. If
Multibinderand the user both bound the same key, injector creation would fail.
Private Annotations to the rescue
The fix is to create a binding annotation type with a narrow scope, such as package scope. Other code won't have access to this annotation, and therefore we can be confident that only our extension can create bindings with this annotation.
In the Multibindings extension, there's a custom annotation called
_USER_'s secretly applied to all elements. Each annotation instance is given a unique ID to ensure that the hosting keys are distinct. Unless they're using a tool that interrogates the Injector, the users of
Multibindernever see these bindings. They're created internally and used internally. But they allow all of Guice's features to work naturally on the bound elements.
Implementing the annotation type is code-intensive, but there's thorough instructions that describe how equals, hashCode and even toString() should be implemented.
This technique is also used in InterceptingInjectorBuilder, in order to let InjectionController work its magic.

Black, H. (2013). Doll bones. NY: Margaret K. McElderry Books.
Zach, Polly, and Alice have been friends for many years. They enjoy playing imaginary games that involve pirates and many adventures. When Polly discovers that an old porcelain doll may be inhabited by a ghost, the adventures become very real. The three friends set out on a journey to return the doll to the grave where the ghost belongs. They must travel to a small town in Ohio to return the doll. They begin by bus, but when a strange man hassles them, they must leave the bus and take off on foot and then end up on boat. When they finally reach the right town they are dirty, exhausted, and angry with each other. They eventually find the grave for the doll and have a funeral for her before their adventure ends. This book was very eerie and mysterious. I loved the mystery and often wondered if the book was going to end up being a ghostly mystery or just a hoax put on by Polly. The theme of this book was showing how the friends are growing and changing. They face the possibility that they may grow apart from each other. As Havinghurst describes, adolescents need to learn how to get along with peers. This includes the changes in how relationships and friendships are made during adolescence. Friendships become based on shared interests, not just proximity of where our friends live.
This book could be used with grades 5-8.

Tank blanketing, also known as tank padding, is the injection of a gas into the open space of a liquid storage tank. It is to maintain a layer of gas above the liquid to prevent atmospheric gasses from entering the tank. Air in the tank contains oxygen, moisture, along with whatever else may be in the air. The type of gas used for blanketing is dependant on process, environmental constraints and available gas. Smaller tanks may be blanketed with nitrogen. Tanks used in the oil industry are blanketed with natural gas, when available.
Blanketing is used to remove Oxygen from the vapor space which will cause corrosion of the tank. Corrosion could lead to contamination of the process or failure of the tank. Additionally, by keeping an inert gas or natural gas blanket on the process conditions will not be right for combusion should there be a spark.
Tank padding works by setting an inlet valve to open when the tank vapor space drops below a preset pressure. This indicates that the tank level is dropping and a vacuum is forming. The valve will remain open until the set pressure is met at which point the valve will close. To capture gas that is displaced by rising fluid, a vapor recovery unit must be installed.

Symbolic meaning of number thirteen is surrounded with controversy. Is it lucky? Unlucky? Only you can decide for yourself this post and my other more detailed page on thirteen may help you with your decision.
For those of you who want fast, quick references, the following attributes have been associated with the number thirteen:
This snapshot of meanings comes from a variety of different sources.
Its primary claim to foreboding fame is the number thirteen's association with the Last Supper in Christian history. There were thirteen people present at this gathering, the Christ and his twelve disciples.
In France the number thirteen referred to as le point de Judas, to mark Judas's betrayal of Christ. This term also suggests an omen as Judas was the first to leave the table at the Last Supper, and also the first to die. Also in France it is still the practice to hire a quartorzieme, or a fourteenth guest to a dinner party if only thirteen were in the original total. This is said to assure a problem-free event.
The letter "m" is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and was said to bring bad luck because it is the beginning and end of the word mem which means death.
Interestingly, the number thirteen is assigned to the Death card in the Tarot deck. Here the number takes on a meaning of transition, surrender, and recycling. More information on this can be found on the number thirteen death card page.
On a more positive note, the number thirteen is sacred and honored in ritualistic practices in many Native American tribes.
The Aztecs also hold the number thirteen sacred and divided their week into thirteen days. Each day is ruled by a god. The thirteenth day is ruled by Tezcatlipoca, who represents: Mystery, Psyche, Illusion and Magic.
Similarly, within ancient European cultures as well as earth-based religions it is well known there are thirteen moons in a year. Here the thirteen is aligned with all the associations of the moon: Emotion, Cycles, Intuition, Mystery, Devotion, and Influence.
It is also seen as a sign of good fortune in ancient Greece where it is associated with the Zeus because he is the thirteenth and most powerful of Greek gods.

The CINTIL-LogicalFormBank (Branco, 2009, and Branco et al., 2011) is a corpus of semantic dependencies of sentences from Portuguese texts composed of 10,039 sentences and 110,166 tokens taken from different sources and domains: news (8,861 sentences; 101,430 tokens), novels (399 sentences; 3,082 tokens) (see 3.2.). In addition, there are 779 sentences (5,654 tokens) that are used for regression testing of the computational grammar that supported the annotation of the corpus (cf. section 4.6.).
The CINTIL-LogicalFormBank is composed of MRS representations of each sentence's semantic relations resulting from a previous semi-automatic analysis with a double-blind annotation followed by adjudication (see Branco and Costa, 2008, with a full description of the process). The resulting dataset contains one information level: semantic relations.
The main motivation behind the creation of this resource was to build a high quality data set with syntactic information that could support the development of a large set of automatic resources and tools for Portuguese for NLP studies.
The development of this resource started under the project SemanticShare – Resources and Tools for Semantic Processing (at: _URL_ whose main goal was to generate a deep linguistic annotated corpus of Portuguese, with manually verified grammatical representations.

Many people who are using the MacBook Pro generally do not loose any files or data because of the system error but because of their own error. MacBook Pro is the the most advance laptop developed by Apple. It provides different security and preventive measures to reduce the chances of data loss from the system. The MacBook Pro also has the Trash folder which acts as a container for the files which have been deleted from the drive by using the delete button. You can also delete the file by dragging them to the trash icon. But sometimes the people are in such a hurry that they delete the files without checking the selection they have made. They have a choice that either they can restore the deleted files from trash or permanently delete it by emptying the trash. You should recheck the trash folder before emptying as it might contain some important file. If you have lost them then you must be searching for how to recover emptied trash on MacBook Pro.
Even if some people say that the files which are deleted by emptying trash is permanently gone you will be glad to know that those files can be recovered. This is because the files which are deleted from the trash still remain on the hard disk and continue to occupy the same space until they are are overwritten by the new file. The operating system only deletes the location of the deleted files and mark the hard disk space as available. If you want a successful recovery then you should prevent that space from being overwritten by stop using the system for any other purpose. But there is no need of a recovery process if you have a valid and updated back up of the files you have lost. You can check your external hard drive or any cloud service for the back up.
If you are unable to find any back up then you can Use Mac trash recovery software. It is very effective software that can restore all the files that have deleted by scanning the drive using its advance algorithm. It can recover files with different file types that can be any document or multimedia files. If also provide you the preview by which you can choose your desired files and leave the rest. The software is very easy to handle so any novice user can use it without any worry. So quickly download the file and restore trash on MacBook Pro.
How to Use Mac trash Recovery Software
Step 1 : Install Mac trash recovery software and then run it.
Step 2 : Select the disk volume from where the files have been deleted.
Step 3 : Selet the file types of the deleted files.
Step 4 : Select the scan mode and start scanning.
Step 5 : When the scanning is finished you can restore them.

Florida might be one of the most sinkhole-active areas on the earth. Due to its unpredictability and significance of occurrence, the development of sinkhole monitoring techniques is imperative to minimize sinkhole-induced hazards. Several methods have been used to evaluate sinkhole risks, including destructive methods, such as Standard Penetrating Tests (SPT) and Cone Penetrating Tests (CPT), geophysical method, and sensor-based groundwater monitoring method. However, few studies are available for comprehensive understanding of spatiotemporal sinkhole mechanism by combining different exploration methods under realistic experimental conditions. The objective of this study is to understand spatiotemporal sinkhole mechanism, using SPT, CPT, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and piezo pressure sensors tested at actual sinkhole sites. A small-scale test was conducted prior to the field test to validate data analysis technique using piezo pressure sensors, developed in this study. Eight piezo pressure sensors were used located at different distances from the sinkhole center to measure the ground water levels (GWLs) during artificially made sinkhole events. A total of 24 scaled tests was conducted with different sinkhole soil thickness and initial GWL. The cone of water depression was observed during the tests, which indicates there are strong relationship between sinkhole and sinkhole occurrence. A novel peak-counting method was developed and validated to estimate spatiotemporal relations of the relations between GWLs and sinkhole collapse patterns.The field test was conducted at an active sinkhole site in Lake county, Florida to determine locations of points of breach and to monitor fluctuation GWL over time. Twenty piezometer sensors were installed, and the GWLs were monitored for three months at 30-min sampling rate. The daily moving average of GWL was calculated and visualized in ArcGIS map to understand spatiotemporal behavior of GWL at different locations from sinkhole positions. The monitoring results were compared with CPT, SPT and GPR results that were conducted prior to the piezo sensor installations. Strong correlations were observed between CPT, SPT, GPR and GWL results. From the results, it can be concluded that size and shape of the cone of water depression depend on dimensions of point discharges and properties of surrounding soil.

It is a term that is customarily used to refer to the "accession of a honoured person to their heavenly abode". In simple terms, this is a polite and honourable term used to refer to the "death" of a respected, honoured and blessed person. In its original language, it is a term which is polite, respectful and traditional. When referring to the death of the Sikh gurus, this term is commonly used.
The Sikh scriptures teach that the soul is indestructible and survives for eternity. When the person dies, it is only the body that is destroyed; the soul carries on its journey of reincarnation until it becomes pure and sinless so that it can blend with the pure Lord. So when the body of a person who is pure and one who has lived a life of righteousness dies, the soul of this perfect person is said to join the Almighty God. The act of joining with the Lord is referred to as "Joti jot samana" (Sah-ma-na means to "merge")
The Gurus tell us that the person's soul is immortal and that the soul never dies and is never born. However, the soul travels through many lives where the soul experiences birth and death while living within various bodies. This cycle of births and death only stops when the soul attains salvation or Mukti when it leaves this existence in moral bodies and joins the immortal supreme soul (god). The person is then said to have rejoined with God. This special condition is referred to as "Joti Jot" in Punjabi.


What Causes a Laptop to Short Circuit?
What Causes a Laptop to Short Circuit?
What Causes a Laptop to Short Circuit?
Technology is advancing day by day very fastly. Laptops are part of life for everybody either he is a student, teacher, doctor, engineer or writer. Everybody using laptops randomly and roughly. There are 2 to 3 laptops in every home nowadays because it is the need of everybody.
In this article, our editors have explained all the reasons which cause a laptop to short circuit. Along with this, we have added a detailed guide about fixing problems caused by the laptop short circuit.
As it is very important in our life so when its processor shows some problem many of work stuck down due to defect in laptop. People use laptop recklessly and it causes a laptop to short circuit.
First of all, we have to know what is a short circuit?
What is the short circuit?
It can be defined as low resistance of the connections in laptop. Low resistance between the circuit and power supply that are giving it to Electrical power. Due to low resistance high current will be passed and it causes a short circuit.
A short circuit can be an alternating current AC and also can be in direct current DC circuit. The short circuit in the laptop produces a high temperature that damage the whole circuit and battery can explode due to heat. You must always keep your laptop secure from a short circuit.
What Causes a Laptop to Short Circuit?
Any physical damage or any electrical damage can cause a short circuit in laptop. A short circuit will consume all the power and it causes your laptop not to turn on.
 If your adapter is working when you put up on the wall and then stop working when you connect it into your laptop then it means short circuit takes place in laptop. When two wires in the circuit that should not be connected, they get connected short circuit takes place.
Causes of Short Circuit in Laptops and how can we fix it
There are many causes of a short circuit in a laptop:
Spilling of liquid:
The electrical circuit of the laptop can be damaged by the spilling of water or liquid on it. A liquid can cause these types of damage:
 - A short circuit caused by wet liquid (problem removes after liquid cleaned and dried)
 - A short circuit caused by dried liquid residue
 - Corrosion (especially with Coke or Pepsi)
 - Electronic components damaged by above short circuits
During using a laptop if you spill water or any liquid on a laptop, it can cause a short circuit. It is very common that we keep eating and drinking during work on the laptop. So it can cause a short circuit.
Fix it:
if you spill liquid while using your laptop then these tips can give you fighting chance to salvage parts of your laptop.
 - Turn off your laptop immediately.
 - Unplug the laptop from its power cord. Press the power button for the 4 seconds that it turns off the power of a laptop or shut down the laptop.
 Remove the battery of the laptop. Disconnect the battery from the laptop.
 Clean the laptop with a highly absorbent cloth that it cleans visible liquid on a laptop so that it could not cause a short circuit.
Dry it with dryer and wait for 3 hours then you can use a laptop easily.
Issues in Laptop Power supply can cause a short circuit
Check power supply by plugging it into the wall of outlet to check the LED of the power supply lights up. The power adapter should not plug into the laptop, only the wall of the strip outlet.
Laptop adapters have LED light, which allows users to identify either current is passing from the adapter or not.
If the LED light is not turning on, check it in another outlet. If you still see no light, then the surge protector in the cable is burnt and the cable needs replacement.
Fix it:
 this can be resolved by buying a new adapter for the charging of laptop otherwise it would because of short circuit. Because burnt cable could not provide a sufficient amount of current to the laptop.
High Voltage:
Due to damage to the cable or power supply or any other cause of high voltage. Any problem with electricity that increases the voltage input can cause a short circuit of laptop.
High voltage effects on the circuit of the laptop that decrease the resistance of current and large amount of current pass from the circuit and short circuits happens. High voltage can also cause errors in the laptop processor.
Fix it:
Test the output voltages. Put a positive pin inside the cable power connector that inserts into a laptop. Put the negative pin on the outside of a cable connector. Check the digital display to see the reading.
Test that the output is correct by reading the recommended output levels. Replace the power cable if the voltage output has a large variability.
Low Voltage:
Due to an error in power supply, not proper current can pass from the power supply and it causes a short circuit in the laptop.
A laptop requires a sufficient amount of current for charging so when not proper current converts into the socket of power, it causes a short circuit to the laptop.
Fix it:
By replacing a power supply, one can secure its laptop from short circuit.
Hardware devices cause short circuit:
A short circuit can also be caused by any defective hardware devices like floppy, USB, DVD, CVD or CD player hardware. Because this hardware might contain any virus that affects the circuit and short circuit can take place.
Fix it:
Use millimeter or an ohmmeter for testing of short circuits in the laptop. Put the positive pin inside of the power connector of the laptop. Put a negative pin on the outer metal part of the connector. Check the millimeter digital display. If reading is less than 3 ohms, it is an indication of a short circuit.
Remove devices like CD, DVD, and ROM, battery, Floppy or any other connected device to see if it is the cause of the short circuit.
Turn on the laptop without these devices to see either laptop starts or not.
Dust and improper placing:
Laptops should be placed on a neat and clean surface. A person should use a protector for its screen and its body that it can be protected from the dust. Because dust particle form clog into the laptop which can affect the circuit and short circuit can take place. You should always maintain a clean laptop.
The irregular placing of laptop or placing a weight on the laptop can cause short circuit and damage of the laptop. A laptop should place on the plain surface to protecting from the damage.
Fix it:
This problem can be solved by drying out the dust from the circuit by the dryer. Blow dry moves out the dust particles from the circuit.
How to prevent a laptop to short circuit?
there is some safety precaution to prevent from the short circuit:
 - While using laptop avoid the use of liquid or water near the laptop.
 - Avoid taking the coffee or tea during using a laptop but if you don't work without these things then take them with special care.
 - You can also use motherboard protector that if something is spat on the motherboard it will not cause the short circuit.
 - The power supply should be placed at a safe place that it could not breakdown or damage.
 - A laptop should be placed in its bag and power supply with it.
 - The laptop should be used in room temperature because high temperature can cause a short circuit. You can use a laptop without a battery.
 - Make sure that electricity supply is in range, and then connect the power supply with laptop otherwise short circuit can take place due to insufficient or high voltage.
 - A laptop should be placed out of the reach of kids.
 - Hardware devices should be installed in the laptop after rechecking that they are free from virus, these drives interrupt the circuit and shirt circuit takes place.
 - A laptop should place in a dry and clean surface.
 - Any weight gaining thing should not place on the laptop it damages the laptop and short circuit might be possible.
Final Words about Electrical Short Circuit in a Laptop
As we are talking about the short circuit of a laptop so I am sharing my story of laptop. We all know that load shedding and electrical fluctuations is a common problem from the last few years.
so 6 months ago my laptop was on charging and suddenly load shedding happens and I forget to remove my laptop from charging. Now, when the light comes it comes with high voltage power and it damages many electronics in the area.
Fortunately, only the laptop was on charging other appliances was not switched on, so when checking my laptop its power supply was not working.
High voltage damages my laptop charger by not my laptop because the laptop power supply contains a protector. whenever high voltage or improper voltage passes from it, it acts as a fuse and destroy itself and protect the laptop from the damage. So in this way, my laptop remains safe from a short circuit.

What Types of Breads Are Vegan?
Rye bread with seeds
There is good news for vegan bread lovers; many breads are naturally vegan. Despite the surplus of naturally vegan breads, it is always beneficial to use a keen eye and inspect the ingredient list for non-vegan ingredients. Additionally, when purchasing bread, vegan individuals can keep it simple and purchase certified vegan breads to ensure there are no hidden animal-based ingredients in their bread.
Vegan Bread
According to PETA, most bread is vegan. This could apply to almost all varieties of bread including, sandwich bread, rolls, bagels, focaccia, lavash, tortillas, pita, sourdough, and many others. Bread is a grain-based food and many other ingredients found in bread are also plant-based. Common ingredients found in any kind of bread, vegan or not, include:
 - Whole wheat, enriched, or refined flour
 - Other grains added such as oats, barley, rice, etc.
 - Water
 - Sugar, molasses, or other sweetener of choice
 - Yeast
 - Oil or fat of choice
 - Salt

 - Preservative
All the ingredients above qualify as vegan ingredients. This makes many breads safe to eat if following a vegan diet. However, some breads add additional ingredients for flavor or to serve as a filler.
Problematic Breads and Ingredients
Some varieties of breads will almost always not qualify as vegan due to their traditional ingredients. These breads include:
 - Any bread made with honey such as honey wheat
 - Naan bread, which is made with eggs and milk
 - Biscuits. as they are made using butter and milk
 - Crumpets, which are made using milk
If searching for vegan bread, also keep an eye out for the following ingredients as they do not qualify as vegan. These can commonly be found in many bread brands on grocery store shelves. However, if buying freshly baked bread these ingredients are used much less frequently.
 - Eggs
 - Milk
 - Butter
 - Cream
 - Whey
 - Casein
 - Caseinate
 - Sodium caseinate
 - Honey
Although these ingredients can add a lot of flavor to bread, they are made from animals and don't meet vegan standards.

The EEOC has published a new Q&A to clarify when requiring a high school diploma violates the ADA.
In November 2011, the EEOC issued a discussion letter on this topic. The Q&A is in response to "significant commentary and conjecture about the meaning and scope of the letter."
The letter stated that if a diploma requirement screens out a candidate who was unable to graduate because of a learning disability, the employer is required to demonstrate that the requirement is "job-related and consistent with business necessity." The EEOC added that an employer can't make that showing if "the functions in question can easily be performed by someone who does not have a diploma."
The Q&A clarifies that "nothing in the letter prohibits employers from adopting a job requirement that a job applicant have a high school diploma." The EEOC says that employers won't have to make an exception in "the vast majority of the cases."
However, if an applicant claims that a learning disability prevented him/her from getting a diploma, the employer may be required to "demonstrate qualification for the job in some other way." Examples offered by the EEOC include considering experience in similar jobs or allowing the applicant to demonstrate performance of the job's essential functions.
The Q&A also states that an employer "does not have to prefer the applicant with a disability over someone who can perform the job better."

Porphyra Human Consumption
Have you ever wondered why we eat nori? Why this
certain algae? The consumption of Porphyra dates back to 533-544
AD in China. It was even presented annually to the emperor of China
during the Sung dynasty (_PHONE_ AD) as a gift from the Fuijan province.
One of the reasons for eating Porphyra is the lack of cellulose in
the cell wall, making the algae easier for us to eat and digest.
Porphyra contains significant amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals. The vitamin C content of nori, or prepared Porphyra, is greater than in raw oranges. The vitamin A content is comparable to that spinach, along with fairly high amounts of vitamin B in general. The amount of free and proteinaceous amino acids in nori are roughly similar to that of vegetables. Porphyra also contains a high amount of arginine, a basic amino acid which is generally found in animal protein. In nori, the characteristic taste is a result of the coexistence of relatively large amounts of alanine, glutamic acid and glycine. It also contains an abundant amount of taurine which is know to be effective for liver activity, especially in preventing the occurence of gallstone disease and for controlling blood cholesterol levels. Nori also contain relatively high amounts of essential trace elements, such as zinc, which is essential for certain enzyme functions. Manganese, copper and selenium are present in Porphyra and essential for the metabolic processes of organisms.
Nori has always been a staple in the diet of most Asian countries, such as China and Japan. Once collected, nori is washed in freshwater to get rid of the sediments, finely chopped, and spread on frames to dry. Often, nori is toasted and flavored for use in cooking. It is often sprinkled over rice as a flavoring, or used in sushi!
Besides Asian cultures, others have also utilized Porphyra as a food. In Ireland and the Wales, Porphyra is called laver and can be prepared by frying it in fat or as a pinkish jelly, which can be prepared by heating the fronds in a saucepan with minimal water and beating with a fork.
Porphyra does have a few medicinal benefits. It contains a sulfated polysaccharide called porphyran, which is a complex galactan. The physiological activity of porphyran in the animal body isn't clear right now, but studies have indicated some excellent health benefits from it. It may inhibit the growth of certain tumors. Also, when nori powder was mixed with a basic diet at 2% concentration and fed to rats, it preventd a purposely induced carcinogenesis. These results may be have been caused by the sulfation of the polysaccharide, which can enhance the effectiveness of it.
Another substance called porphyosin has been isolated from Porphyra. It appears to exhibit anti-ulcer activity in shay ulcers. However, porphyosin was found to be ineffective against stress ulcers.
The cultivation of Porphyra originates back as far as 300 years ago, when the Japanese utilized a primitve method of using a bundle of bamboo twigs to collect the spores. However, the presence of spores were still at the mercy of nature and annual production flunctuated greatly.
In China, the cultivation of Porphyra dates back to about 200 years ago, when it was pulled right off rocks in early autumn. This was done right before the release of spores so that the spores would have an area for attachment and growth.
Modern cultivation of Porphyra did not occur until the 1960's, as a result of the discovery of the Conchocelis phase of Porphyra. The discovery of the Conchocelis phase allowed scientists to determine how to maximize nori production under controlled conditions, leading to one of the biggest industries in Japan and China.
In China and Japan, there are 7 main species used in commercial cultivation.

Movement model Maybe a movement model can be incorporated with the particle filters. This model can keep track of the user's speed and direction, and can be used to refine the particles. This can be done by keeping in consideration that if a person is walking in one direction, it is more probable that this person keeps walking in the same direction, rather than turn back suddenly.

Adults, target-words, and the child's syntactical development
Language cannot be learned without linguistic input. Hence, the environment plays an important role in childrens' language development. In this paper it is examined how important the environment's role is. Two views are described: Universal Grammar and Emergentism. They are in this paper considered to represent two basic stances; the innate stance and the "non-innate" stance. The overall aim is to present evidence in favour of either Emergentism or Universal Grammar. It is achieved by a theoretical discussion and the findings from an observation. In the observational study the aim is to see if and, if so, how adults provide clues for children to develop their syntax. This is achieved by looking at target-words and how the adults use context and prosody to supply children with them. The findings show that the adults extensively use context when talking to children. The theoretical discussion together with the findings, are here found to support Emergentism, the non-innate view.

Will the game be cancelled if it is raining?
For U10, U12, and U15, games will not be cancelled due to rain. The referees make the determination if the fields and conditions are unplayable, and that decision will not be made until the referees arrive at the fields and make the determination. Please come to the games prepared to play. For U6 and U8, the coaches together at the fields determine if the conditions are too bad to play.
What is the correct Age Division for my child?
Your child's division is determined by his/her age at the end of the calendar year. For example, if your child will be 9 years old (having a birthday in November) before the end of the current calendar year, your child will be playing in the U10 Division. If your child is not under 10 years old on December 31 of the calendar year, then your child does not play in the U10 division. He/she plays U12.
