Failure to Respond to a Permission Request: What Does it Mean?
Why seek permission? If permission is unnecessary for a fair use defense, why ask for it? First, acquiring permission bypasses the need for a legal dispute (and the uncertainties and expenses associated with it). Second, seeking permission also demonstrates your good faith and may mitigate the damages assessed if your fair use defense fails and there is a negative decision against you.
Does a failure to respond to a permission request mean that there is a lower risk of being pursued. We doubt it. Although, as anecdotal evidence, we can offer this story: Our mom called a lawyer at a well-known movie company for permission for her nonprofit to use a licensed character in a presentation. His response, "You never made this call." In other words, having to say "no," would have obligated the attorney to follow up.
FYI Dept. -- Silence doesn't mean legal assent. We remember getting letters from lawyers that would say things like, "A failure to respond shall confirm blah, blah, blah." But 99.9% of the time that's just not the case. Inaction, or silence rarely triggers any legal conclusion (either affirmative or negative). For example, there's a famous 19th-century English contract case in which a man offered to buy a horse and stated that unless he heard otherwise from the seller, "I consider the horse mine." The British court ruled that his assumption didn't create a contract; the other party's acceptance had to be clearly expressed.

I have text data that I read from a file; I need to place it in the body of an email message. There are about 50 such data items to be placed into existing text.
It seems I should be able to put a marker (dataItem1, dataItem2, etc.) and replace that with the matching text data from the file.
Searches only turn up replacing field data such as Recipient, Subject, etc., or replacing the entire body. Would I have to generate the entire body in the code? Seems like I should be able to "insert" a data item into existing body text.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Use the Body property of the MailItem you're working with. Assign it to a variable and you can edit it:
Dim body As String
body = myMessage.Body
body = Replace(body,"dataItem1","your replacement here")
Then assign the variable to the Body:
myMessage.Body = body

Astronautics 101
This tutorial will help you get started in simple Astronautics calculations using the Systems Tool Kit from AGI or Python. We will use the International Space Station as our orbiting body around the Earth.
The ISS is the largest man-made satellite ever made. It's been orbiting the earth since 1998 and estimates say it has cost about $100 billion so far. It can be seen with the naked eye from ground. Since the year 2000 it has been continuously occupied by different astronauts from different nations. To read more about it go to:
This tutorial will help you calculate some interesting orbital properties of the ISS like it's orbital speed and period. I'll give you some of the relevant variables and equations so you can easily compute everything. The main purpose of this tutorial is to get you started with powerful software tools that can help you solve real problems.
With a simple calculator go trough the given equations and get the relevant numbers. Just because I give you the numbers you should't trust them blindly. Then you will verify your hand made numbers using STK or Python.
Don't worry if you don't understand all the terms yet. Later you will learn more about these terms like the true anomaly and orbital energy (read this and this to get started right away). These steps were made so you can easily compute the orbital speed and period of the ISS.
Here is the data and the relevant equations (make sure you use the right units):
Earth Radius $R_e = 6371 km$
Earth gravitational parameter $\mu = 3.986×10^5 km^3/s^2$
Perigee = 418 km
Apogee = 426 km
$R_p = 418 + Re$
$R_a = 426 + Re$
1) Find the eccentricity of the orbit (e)
$e = \frac{R_a – R_p}{R_a + R_p} = 0.000588841454438$
it's very small!!! as expected, meaning the orbit is almost circular
2) Find the semi-major axis (a)
$2a = Ra + Rp => a = 6793.0 km$
3) Find the specific mechanical energy for the ISS orbit (espilon)
$\epsilon = – \frac{\mu}{2a} = -29.339025467392904 km^2/s^2$
4) Find the altitude (R) of the ISS when the true anomaly is 90deg (usually represented by the greek letter "nu")
$R = \frac{a(1-e^2)}{1+e \times cos(\nu)} = 6792.9976446341825 km$
don't forget to convert deg to radians when you use this equation.
5) Find the orbital speed (at nu = 90deg)
$V = \sqrt{2(\frac{\mu}{R} + \epsilon)} = 7.660163 km/s$
6) Find the orbiting period of the ISS
$P = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{a^3}{\mu}} = 5571.90 sec = 92.87 min = 1.55 hr$
because the results are given in seconds I convert to minutes and hours to get a better feeling of it how long it really takes for the ISS to orbit the Earth once.
BTW, here's a really cool video of the Earth taken from the ISS at 7.6 km/s
Now follow these links to check if the above equations are correct:

HomeDefinitionsCareer DictionaryLoudermill Rights
Loudermill Rights
The term Loudermill Rights refers to those due process requirements that are followed when a tenured public employee is involuntarily terminated. Loudermill Rights are based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision: Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill (1985).
Tenured public employees were granted Loudermill Rights following a Supreme Court decision, which determined that most public employees have a property interest in their job. For this reason, they are afforded due process rights before removing or impacting their property interest in their job. This "property right" means non-probationary public employees can only be terminated for cause. They may also be entitled to certain rights in cases of severe discipline.
Generally, the following steps are followed when a tenured public employee is involuntarily terminated:
 1. Loudermill Letter: employees are entitled to proper notice, indicating why they are being fired as well as any specific evidence supporting the employer's decision to terminate the employee. The letter will also inform the employee of their right to a hearing.
 2. Pre-Termination Hearing: also referred to as a Loudermill Hearing, this is a relatively informal meeting that provides an opportunity to determine if there are reasonable grounds to terminate after the employee addresses the evidence of the case. Individuals attending this meeting typically include the employee, their direct supervisor, a member of the human resources department, and a union representative.
 3. Post-Termination Hearing: if the employee is subsequently terminated, they are entitled to a full evidentiary hearing. The purpose of this meeting is to verify the facts presented against the employee, and whether or not the involuntary termination is justified.
Note: If the employee does not attend the pre-termination hearing, the employer can still proceed with termination.

As power densities of laser diodes continuously increase, the effects of absorption losses in fast axis collimation lenses become exceedingly important. We report our analysis of two drivers of these absorption losses, coating absorption and glass bulk absorption, and how these absorption losses cause a thermal impact and have an influence on the performance of the laser beam quality emitted from a laser diode equipped with a fast axis collimation lens on a bottom tab. The presented results are derived from finite element method (FEM) simulations and the FEM model used is based on material data from data sheets and a heat transfer coefficient derived from cooling curves of components observed by a thermal infrared camera.
Precision glass molding (PGM) is an optical manufacturing process used to hot press optical glass into a specified lens shape. This is done by taking the glass to a temperature above Tg and exerting force using an upper and lower mold. These molds will, together, give the pressed lens its shape. This study focuses on the high temperature interactions between the mold tooling material and two optical oxide glasses, Ohara's L-BAL35 and Schott's N-FK5. Flat molds were used to press flat glass work pieces at high temperature and force; key post process parameters such as sample and mold surface contamination using EDS and visible degradation via SEM were catalogued and analyzed. The molds used were bare tungsten carbide (WC) and silicon carbide (SiC) with an amorphous SiC chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coating. The results showed that raw WC molds suffered the most degradation including physical damage as well as chemical adherence and reaction. The Ti binder used in the WC as well as some the tungsten itself transferred to both glasses and caused a white reflective layer to appear on the molded glass surface. Severe damage was evident after only 2 pressing cycles with potassium from N-FK5 being the most prominent chemical contaminant. N-FK5 proved to be the more corrosive of the two glasses in all occasions. The SiC coated molds fared better in terms of degradation than the WC, however sticking of glass to mold was a problem.

COLOGNE, Germany – Ford Motor Company has committed to making massive cuts in the waste it sends to landfill, as well as the water it uses, across its European production.
The company said it will significantly increase the proportion of waste recycled and reused by cutting landfill waste by 70 per cent. That means a reduction in the average landfill waste generated per vehicle to 1.5kg by 2016 from 5kg in 2011. Based on annual production of 1.2 million vehicles, Ford also will reduce water use by 30 per cent saving €2.3 million over the same time period and approximately 1.3 billion litres per year. This equates to an average saving of 1,100 litres for each car or van produced.
"This plan represents our pledge to minimise Ford's impact on the environment both before and after our customers get behind the wheel," said Stephen Odell, chairman and CEO, Ford of Europe. "This goes hand-in-hand with our commitment to develop the most fuel efficient vehicles. Sustainability makes just as much sense for Ford as a business as it does for the environment."
The announcement builds upon previous actions that have helped Ford of Europe become the global company's lowest producer of landfill waste. Ford of Europe has cut landfill-waste generation by 40 per cent since 2007 and reduced water use by 37 per cent over the same period.
The new commitment covers manufacturing in Genk in Belgium, Valencia in Spain, Saarlouis and Cologne in Germany as well as Southampton, Bridgend and Dagenham in the UK. Genk, Saarlouis and Cologne had previously taken significant steps to reduce landfill waste and are now all waste-to-landfill free.
Ford says it will firstly work internally and closely with partners to reduce the resources used in production; secondly, to reduce the quantity of waste from that production; and finally, to ensure that as much waste as possible is recycled or used to generate energy.

Semiconductor lithography system issues are challenging to diagnose from predefined models and historic data alone. That's because such systems are characterized by high-dimensionality, non-stationarity and nonlinear behavior across multiple time and spatial scales. One line of research at ASML is to investigate model-independent approaches, which can help to find previously unknown causal relations from system diagnostic data. Therefore, we combine information theory based transfer entropy with eigencentrality in time series analysis. However, this approach must be computationally efficient for ASML system diagnostics (and prognostics) in real time. Moreover, it must be able to locate unobserved variables and capture unique as well as joint causal influences. This presentation will discuss the merits and challenges of causal inference using information-theoretical concepts within ASML context and demonstrate a number of cases.

Cosmetics are an important form of social expression in societies throughout the world. In fact, researchers believe they have been used without exception in every culture in human history, from the most puritanical to the gaudiest. There is even archeological evidence suggesting that our earliest ancestors began painting their bodies before wearing clothing. So as a global industry worth billions of dollars annually with a market generating steady demand in every corner of the planet, it is quite obvious that makeup plays a significant role in shaping human interaction.
But what are the implications for our day-to-day lives? What are the implications for our health? And is it possible that makeup actually has a positive impact on our wellbeing?
In this illuminating infographic about How Makeup Changes Us, these and other questions are closely examined to paint a better picture of what it means that women the world over paint their faces every morning before leaving home. The ingredients in cosmetics are changing our bodies, the money we spend on makeup influences our financial health, and cosmetics play a crucial role in shaping our mentalities.

Why Doesn't the Church Offer More Teaching on Dreams, Deliverance or Miracles?
Why doesn't the church have more teachings on the supernatural?
Why doesn't the church have more teachings on the supernatural? (iStock photo )
Question: Why doesn't my church take dreams seriously? I have lots of dreams.
In the Bible, God gave dreams that provided counsel, guidance, gifts and promises. I want this! Why isn't there more training on it? I don't want to have to go to the New Age movement to learn about the supernatural.
Answer: "Western Christianity" has chosen to reduce Christianity to a reasoned, logical theology about a God who lives "up there." Dreams aren't rational or logical. Dreams constitute a direct encounter with the Living God (Acts 2:17).
Therefore, dreams are ignored. The same goes for working miracles, casting out demons, speaking in tongues, heavenly encounters and every other spiritual experience recorded in Scripture. Why would the church do this, and is there a way out of this mess?
Part 1 – Losing Heart Revelation
 1. Where Did This Rational Approach to Christianity Come From?
 2. Why Would the Church Strip Spiritual Encounters From Its Experience?
 3. Did You Know Satan Has Stolen the Bible From Conservatives as Well as Liberals?
Where Did This Rational Approach to Christianity Come From?
Thomas Aquinas: Even though the Bible says that man's thoughts are not God's thoughts (Is. 55:9), and Jesus rebuked "man's reasoning" every time it showed up in the Gospels (Matt. 16:5-12; Mark 2:5-12, 8:15-18), and James declared man's wisdom comes from below and is natural, sensual and demonic (James 3:13-17), the church has decided to follow the philosophy laid out by Thomas Aquinas: to limit spiritual experiences and replace them with reasoned theology.
True Knowledge! Amazingly, the word "theology" does not even appear in the Bible! "Doctrine" would be the closest word to theology, and the word doctrine only shows up 15 times in the NASB. Half the time, doctrine was rebuked because it was man's doctrine and the other half it was considered good doctrine because it was received as revelation from God. Paul called the truth he received by revelation, "true knowledge" (Col. 3:10; 2:2-23 NASB) as opposed to "knowledge." I don't believe I had ever drawn a distinction in my mind between knowledge and true knowledge. That's interesting.
Truth: A "Who" or a "what." Pilate wanted to know, "What is truth?" (John 18:38). The answer is that truth is not a what. Truth is not a reasoned set of concepts. Truth is a Person. Jesus said, "I am Truth" (John 14:6). I experience God's truth every time I have exchanges with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,17). This is revelation-based, God-breathed, living truth, applied correctly and directly to the moment I am living. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing" (John 6:63).
Nothing? Really?
Words or Power? The kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power (1 Cor. 4:20). Wow! So truth comes from illumination, empowering and transformation, which we experience every time we take a walk with God in the cool of the garden and He speaks.
Epistemology: The following introduces you to the basics of a Christian philosophy of "knowing." If you have already read my books on this topic, this will serve as a short summary review, and if not, this will serve as an introductory overview.
Yuck! I guess that because I took a religion-philosophy major while at Roberts Wesleyan College, my head has been geared to think philosophically about learning. While in college, I did not recognize the value of studying philosophy, as philosophers begin with the question, "Do I exist?" and then get into discussions concerning the fact that the miracles in the Bible are myths and not to be believed. I found the entire discussion repugnant, so I figured I would just set philosophy aside.
Maybe not so bad? Now, looking back over my life and seeing that I have written many books on establishing a revelation-based Christian philosophy for knowing, I realize that the philosophy courses in college trained me to ask a question that many people have never bothered to ask, which is, "What is God's approach for knowing truth?" What I have learned is that God's approach to discovering truth is completely different from what the Western culture believes, and even from what my Bible college and church taught me.
A Christian philosophy of knowing: May I present to you what God has taught me concerning establishing a biblical epistemology? I like the word epistemology as it is one of the biggest words I learned in college, and it just has such a nice ring to it! It means "system for knowing." Do you know what your system for discovering truth is?
Why Would the Church Strip Spiritual Encounters From Its Experience?
Plato: Early church fathers had fit Christian thought and experience into Plato's philosophy. Plato was a well-known philosopher who embraced spiritual encounters as a valid means for discovering truth.
Aristotle: In trying to make Christianity acceptable to Aristotle's philosophy, (which was sweeping Europe in the 1200s, and which did not accept divine encounter as a way of knowing truth), Thomas Aquinas spent his entire life laying out a logical, rational approach to Christianity.
Scholasticism: When Protestantism was formed, it adopted the scholasticism (i.e. a method of critical thought) of Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274). He was the author of more than 80 works, including the Summa Theologica, which was accorded special honor at the Council of Trent. In adopting scholasticism, Western Christianity adopted a very academic religion, which limited supernatural experiences and was counter to Plato's philosophy and to the Bible's own stated approach for discovering truth.
It's all straw! However, at the end of his life, the Lord granted Thomas Aquinas a triple dream experience (i.e. a spiritual, non-rational, supernatural experience), and it so profoundly affected him that when urged to write about it, he stated, "I cannot, because all that I have written seems like straw to me." He would write no more, and within four months he was dead. Yet today, we have embraced his writings, which he felt were straw and essentially rejected divine encounter, which fills the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
A protest movement: Also, since Martin Luther was embattled with and reacting to the sale of indulgences along with other Papal abuses, the movement was dubbed, "Protest-ant." Admittedly, whenever we are in a protesting mode, we generally push one side of truth, rather than the whole truth. Jon Ruthven has an easy-to-read book, What's Wrong with Protestant Theology? in which he explores the fight Protestants were in and why they were forced into creating such a one-sided "gospel."
Spiritual experiences lost! Scripture records over 50 dreams and visions, whose stories and outworkings reflect a full one-third of the Bible. Yet, if you checked out 1000 churches today, how many do you think would be offering a course on Christian Dream Interpretation? Perhaps none, or maybe one or two! So the question is: What gives our churches the right to reject one-third of the Bible and not even offer a Sunday school class on it?
We ate the straw! How tragic that we have chosen to major on what Thomas Aquinas considered "straw," (i.e. man's rational abilities), rather than on the supernatural lifestyle demonstrated throughout Scripture!
Let God be God! I suppose today some pastors would like to keep Christianity rational as they believe it is just "flakes" who hear God's voice. And then, of course, there is the whole issue of undermining the pastor's authority. My suggestions are, "If you train and shepherd well on how to hear God's voice, you will greatly reduce the number of flakes. As far as authority goes, true authority comes from God's spoken word, and not from any title one might have." All sheep get to hear His voice (John 10:27).
Liberals such as Rudolf Bultmann use demythologization to explain that the miracles are simply myths that are not to be believed or sought after. Conservatives rightly reject such a position, but then go on to offer their own justification for a life devoid of the supernatural, using dispensationalism to explain why God no longer has direct encounters with individuals.
Psychotic, really! Some liberal commentaries have gone as far as to say those who have dreams are psychotic! Some conservative groups have gone so far as to not ordain pastors in their denominations if they believe God speaks through dreams! Lord, forgive us!
Good old scorn! As a fundamentalist, I used to scorn the liberals because they did not believe the Bible was the inerrant Word of God (i.e. my scorning was done before God showed me that I

Survival of Bacterial Indicator-Species on Environmental Impervious Surfaces
Because of historic difficulties in the measurement of sewage-borne pathogens, the microbiological quality of stormwater runoff is often characterized on the basis of bacterial indicator species. These species are assumed to derive from a common (sewage) source with pathogens of interest, and to arrive in, survive in, and move through watershed environments in numbers that correlate with health risk from those pathogens. Commonly used indicator species (especially E.coli and Enterococcus spp.), however, may derive from sources other than sewage, and survive in the (non-enteric) environment at rates divergent from those of the pathogens they are presumed to indicate.
In an ongoing effort to model background (i.e., of non-sewage origin) discharges of indicator species from stormwater source areas in the Tuscaloosa, AL area, a model for the environmentally relevant survival of indicator species (E. coli and Enterococci) on simulated impervious environmental surfaces is presented.
A full-factorial study (23, Temperature/Moisture/UV-B exposure) of the indicator-species' environmental survival factors was performed. Pet-feces slurries were applied to paving blocks and incubated in controlled environmental chambers (refrigerators fitted with BOD-cubators for high temperature control, desiccant or humidifiers for moisture control, and UV-B enhanced fluorescents with Lexan panels to split the chambers into UV-exposed and UV-shielded regions) at conditions encompassing those likely to be found in Tuscaloosa. Most Probable Number (MPN) of surviving E. coli and Enterococci Colony Forming Units, over an extended time period (about two weeks), were measured using IDEXX methods and normalized to inoculation-date (Day 0) MPN.
The model was developed as a log-linear (first-order) segmented (with unknown break points) net decay of MPN with respect to time of the entire dataset, followed by a multiple linear regression of the decay constant of each segment with respect to survival factors.
The studied species were found to be environmentally persistent on impervious surfaces under Tuscaloosa conditions, raising questions as to their unqualified use as indicators of sewage-borne pathogens. Risk analysis of stormwater exposures, and efficient search for presumed environmental sewage releases, would be better informed by improved knowledge of background discharges of indicator species from stormwater source areas.

Several Points in the Rotor Installation Process of the Impact Crusher
author:dahua1 time:2018-10-31
1. The installation and construction personnel should have an understanding of the structure, performance and technical requirements of the impact crusher, and determine the appropriate installation process according to the specific conditions of the equipment.
2. At the installation site, hoisting equipment with sufficient lifting capacity is provided. Carefully check the reserved space of the equipment foundation and the coordinate position of the anchor bolt reserved hole to make it conform to the general plan of the equipment and the relevant basic design data. The vertical and horizontal basic coordinates (longitudinal and transverse curves) of the equipment are the center line of the equipment and the rotor axis line, and the difference between the center position of each reserved space and the anchor bolt reserved hole shall not exceed ± 10 mm.
3. The vibration absorbing material should be filled between the equipment and the foundation to prevent the equipment foundation from being weak after the formal production, which will affect the progress of the project.
4. When installing the machine body, the machine face should be flat, and the intersections between the machine body and the foundation should not leak dust. The anchor bolts should be tightened repeatedly, and there should be enough space in the lower part of the foundation for the installation of transportation equipment and equipment maintenance.
Luoyang Dahua Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd.
5. After the motor of the impact crusher is installed, it should be equipped with a transmission belt cover according to the actual situation of the installation.
6. There are sometimes radial cross-over gaps on the rotor. Therefore, the gap width between the counter-rack and the plate must be no less than 20mm after the first use of the new machine to ensure that the plate and the rear frame do not collide.
7. The gap between the counter plate and the plate hammer should be gradually reduced according to the work requirements. It is recommended to use several rotations of the hand rotating rotor after adjustment to check whether there is collision. After adjustment, lock the sleeve nut to prevent the counter plate from sliding down and colliding with the plate hammer.
8. The outlet of the impact crusher is in the lower part, the installation height and how to cooperate with the feeding and discharging devices, all should be considered in the installation process.

To accomplish a Six Sigma level, a production process must generate less than 3.44 defects per 1,000,000 opportunities, as shown in the table below:
To identify if the capability of the process is relative to the specifications of that process, Process Sigma rating should be computed. To compute for the process sigma rating, we have to determine the total number of defects, total number of opportunities, and defect rate.
How to calculate it yourself… the simple explanation
A defect is anything outside of customer's requirement. An opportunity on the other hand is the total number of the probability for a failing. Based on the Process Sigma Table, Six Sigma rating should have 99.99966% yield. Yield is the percentage of products or services without defects. That is like one wrong drug prescription in twenty-five years. As a business strategy improved sigma rating results in improved process or product, reduced cost and greater customer satisfaction.

Use a Henson trust to protect your disabled child's inheritance
Close up of grown up daughter and older mother connecting hands
People with a disability often qualify for disability benefits from their provincial government. The amount they qualify for usually depends on their level of assets or income.
If you have a child with a disability and plan to leave them an inheritance, setting up a Henson trust for them will help to ensure that they do not lose their disability benefits.
A Henson trust is a fully discretionary trust (that is, the trustee has full discretion as to when and what funds are given to the beneficiary) designed specifically to benefit persons with disabilities. The designated trustee manages the trust assets and seeks to protect these assets (typically an inheritance) from being considered as belonging to the disabled person, so that person remains eligible to collect government benefits and entitlements.
A brief history of the Henson trust
In the 1980s, Leonard Henson created a trust in his will for his disabled daughter, Audrey Henson. The trustee had complete discretion on the amount and timing of any payments to Audrey.
The Ontario government tried to disqualify Audrey Henson from receiving her provincial disability benefits because of the money left to her in the testamentary trust.1 In the end, however, the Court of Appeal ruled in her favour. It determined that the trust assets did not belong to Audrey and she had no right to demand anything from the trust. Given this finding, Audrey could still collect government disability benefits.
How a Henson trust works
Because the trustee has full discretion over trust payments to your child, your child's interest in the trust is typically not considered an asset that affects their eligibility for provincial disability benefits. The trustee can use the trust funds to pay for any extras that your child requires, within provincial rules, and can keep the bulk of the trust funds intact for any future needs.
A Henson trust can help you strike the desired balance — maximizing the assistance your money can provide to your child after you are gone, while striving to protect their disability benefits as much as possible. You will have peace of mind knowing that your child will continue to receive appropriate support and benefits after your death.
Benefits of a Henson trust
Setting up a Henson trust for your child has several advantages:
 - allows you to use capital — or other assets, including proceeds of permanent life insurance — to fund the trust
 - allows you to authorize a trustee to pay for things your child requires
 - protects your child's eligibility for future disability benefits by giving the trustee full discretion over trust payments
 - directs the trustee on how to distribute any remaining balance to other beneficiaries at some future point; for example, upon the passing of your child
Choose someone you trust
Your choice of trustee is critical. Make sure this person has the technical ability to manage such a trust, is willing to take the time necessary to assess your child's needs and is available to provide guidance and support. You may wish to consider the benefits of hiring a professional trustee like MD Private Trust Company as sole trustee or co-trustee with a family member. This will ensure that the needs of your child are always the top priority.
Consult with your MD Advisor* to see if setting up a Henson trust is appropriate for your disabled child.
A testamentary trust is created at the time of death of the settlor (in this case, Leonard Henson), as opposed to an inter vivos trust, which is created during the settlor's lifetime.


text: Richard Hildreth was a journalist, antislavery activist born in Deerfield, Massachusetts. In 1834 Hildreth sold his share in the Boston Atlas and traveled south in search of a more healthful climate. For eighteen months he stayed on a plantation in Florida, where he wrote an antislavery treatise, Despotism in America (1840), and America's first antislavery novel, The Slave; or, Memoirs of Archy Moore (1836). Though The Slave never achieved the popularity of later antislavery fiction, Despotism in America became an important source book for economic arguments against slavery. From 1839 to 1843 Hildreth lived in British Guiana. Though considered for a professorship of history at Harvard in 1849 and again in 1851, he was turned down. In accordance with his principles he joined the Vigilance Committee formed to prevent the Fugitive Slave Law from being put into operation in Boston and donated legal services to fugitive slaves and those charged with helping them. Hildreth's health worsened during his time at the New York Tribune. By 1860, hoping that a warmer climate would help him, he was appointed consul to Trieste in 1861. He died in Florence.

Earthquake map shows Tennant Creek hot spot
A new earthquake hazards map released by Geoscience Australia has revealed Tennant Creek is among the locations most likely to be affected by an earthquake.
The map shows a hot spot under Tennant Creek, along with Moe in Victoria and York and Kirwan in Western Australia.
The Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson, says the new information should help communities to plan for the possibilty of earthquakes.
''Although these maps do not enable us to predict earthquakes, they will allow engineers and planners to design and locate buildings and infrastructure so as to better protect our communities,'' Minister Ferguson said.
He said he also expects the modelling and data - which is publicly available online - will be used by emergency managers, researchers and the insurance industry.
It may also impact Australia building standards and codes in areas most likely to be affected by earthquakes.
But the information reinforces fears that Muckaty station, around 100km from Tennant Creek, is not a suitable location for the Federal Government's proposed nuclear waste site.
Seismologists from Geoscience Australia developed the map according to the history of earthquakes in Australia.
They said Australia has experienced 168 earthquakes above magnitude 5.0 since 1950, and last year alone, 82 earthquakes were recorded at a magnitude 3.0 or above.
In 1988, Tennant Creek was struck by a 6.7 magnitude earthquake, causing around $2.5m damage.
At the time, senior seismologist from Geoscience Australia Dr Clive Collins said the quake may have been the region's last.
"We would think that the stress that caused those earthquakes has now been released and you wouldn't get another large one but it's something that really we don't know at this point," Dr Collins told 783 ABC Alice Springs at the time.

text: Chittorgarh is very well known and famous for its natural production of custard apple. These custard apple are also called sita fal because sita (Wife of Lord Ram) had eaten these fruits. In the season of winter chittorgarh fort becomes the custard apple field. Here custard apple trees are automatically grown. These fruits are then sold to local peoples and also exported. Both indians and foreigners enjoy eating this fruit. Chittorgarh must be developed as largest custard apple hub in the world and fruit could be exported also.

To explore how survey respondents perceived their experiences and the impact of participating in a survey, and to assess adverse consequences resulting from participation. Design
Qualitative study involving purposefully selected participants who had participated in a household-based survey. Methods
This qualitative study was nested within a survey that investigated the prevalence of gender-based violence perpetration and victimization with adult men and women in South Africa. 13 maleand 10 female-in-depth interviews were conducted with survey respondents. Results
A majority of informants, without gender-differences, perceived the survey interview as a rare opportunity to share their adverse and or personal experiences in a'safe' space. Gender-differences were noted in reporting perceptions of risks involved with survey participation. Some women remained fearful after completing the survey, that should breach of confidentiality or full survey content disclosure occur, they may be victimized by partners as a punishment for survey participation without men's approval. A number of informants generally discussed their survey participation with others. However, among women with interpersonal violence history or currently in abusive relationships, full survey content disclosure was done with fear; the partner responses were negative, and few women reported receiving threatening remarks but none reported being assaulted. In contrast no man reported adverse reaction by others. Informants with major life adversities reported that the survey had made them to relive the experiences causing them sadness and pain at the time. No informant perceived the survey as emotionally harmful or needed professional support because of survey questions. Rather the vast majority perceived benefit from survey participation. Conclusion
Whilst no informant felt answering the survey questions had caused them emotional or physical harm, some were distressed and anxious, albeit temporarily. Research protocols need to put in place safeguards where appropriate so that this group receives support and protection.

Golden Treasuresby MIke Griefe
Childhood memories often include the stories that came from the books read to children by adults. These stories teach many of the lessons that children learn as they grow, and the books holding those stories often become treasured family heirlooms, surviving with the occasional torn page and creative crayon signature to rest on the shelves for the next generation.
For Naomi Williamson, professor of library services and director of the annual Children's Literature Festival at the University of Central Missouri, these books are a cornerstone in the foundation of the study and development of children's literature. As the coordinator of the Children's Literature Research Collection in UCM's James C. Kirkpatrick Library, she has come to know the favorites of children and adults alike.
Williamson continues the work of the late Ophelia Gilbert, former children's librarian, in building the university's collection of Golden Books, the small books with the gold binding that have been a staple of children's book collections since they were first published in 1942 and sold for 25 cents each.
"These books are an important part of American literature," Williamson said. "They introduced children to the stories that taught values, and they were affordable. They also were written and illustrated by many of the leading authors and illustrators in American children's literature."
The UCM collection now contains more than 1,000 Golden Books, a portion of the more than 26,000 volumes contained in the Philip A. Sadler Research Collection of Literature for Children and Young Adults. Golden Books have been printed continuously by several publishers since 1942, and can be found in all shapes and sizes in 18 different subject categories. All books are numbered, indicating the series and date of publication. Williamson is focusing on completing a collection of the first series of books numbered through 600.
Golden Books gradually became a growing part of the children's literature collection when the university's Central Elementary laboratory school closed in 1980. The collection from that library was combined with the university collection under the direction of Gilbert, who served as the Central Elementary librarian. It continued to grow several years later with a gift of children's books from the estate of the late Jean Riddle, a longtime Warrensburg educator who taught for many years in the Knob Noster School District.
As the collection grew, Williamson began to organize it a sub-collection of Golden Books within the Sadler collection. To date, there are 320 of the first 600 titles in the UCM collection. Many of the titles have become highly collectable, as indicated by a collector's catalog.
"I've found them in a variety of places," she said. "I keep this catalog with me and check out flea markets and antique shops when we travel. Some of them are very rare and can be worth $50 to $100, while most are worth $2 to $10."
Williamson's prize find to date has been an original display rack for Golden Books. Made of wood, the displays were commonly found in dime stores and pharmacies throughout the country, and many were simply discarded over the years. With a few minor repairs, the display rack is used by the library in the Ophelia Gilbert Exhibit Room.
"There are too many in print to collect all of the titles," she said. "We don't have anywhere near all of the first 600 yet, but I do have three on my desk now that I picked up yesterday, so the collection is growing."


str_ireplace Function in PHP
What is str_ireplace Function and how it is used in string?
In PHP, this function is used to replace some characters with some other characters, case-insensitive.
In the above syntax "find" specifies the word to be replaced, "replace" specifies the word to be replaced with, "string" specifies the word to be searched,"count" is a variable that counts the number of replacement.
Example :
echo str_ireplace("ALL","Folks","Hiox India!Welcomes You All!");
Result :
Hiox India!Welcomes You Folks
In the above example "ALL" is replaced with "Folks" as the string is case insensitive.

Proposal calls for Righteous Gentile day in Poland
Jewish and historical groups in Poland have called for a day to be devoted to Poles who helped Jews during the Holocaust.
The Association of the Children of the Holocaust, the Jan Karski Association, and the Museum of the History of Polish Jews have appealed to Poland's President Bronislaw Komorowski to set aside a tribute day for Poles who aided Jews during the World War II German occupation, Polish Radio reported.
The organizations suggested Sept. 27, the day the Provisional Committee of Aid to Jews was established at the initiative of the Polish underground state. The committee was renamed the Zegota Council of Aid to Jews, and brought together a diverse group of Polish activists from across the political spectrum.
Poland has the world's highest number of individuals that have received the designation of Righteous among the Nations at 6,266.

Harvey Weir Cook was born in Wilkinson, Indiana in 1892. He graduated from Anderson High School and attended college at both DePauw University in Greencastle and Washington & Jefferson University in Washington, Pennsylvania. In 1917, he joined the United States Army Air Service and was a combat ace and captain during World War I, officially downing seven enemy planes.
Cook was a pioneer in bringing Indianapolis its first principal airport. The Indianapolis International Airport was known as the Weir-Cook Airport from 1944 to 1976. In 1942, he returned to military service as lieutenant colonel in World War II, where he was killed while flying a Bell Airacobra P-39 over New Caledonia. A memorial in his honor remains on display at the Indianapolis International Airport.

"We have a new maintenance supervisor that has turned down our shop air pressure to 86 psi, supposedly saving operating cost. My opinion is it should be set between 90 and 100 psi to accommodate surges. Is there really a significant savings by turning the supply down to 86 psi?"
The CAC Answer:
Yes indeed, lowering discharge pressure reduces the compressor motor power by about 1% for every two psi of lower pressure. Also, the lower pressure makes any unregulated uses in the "shop" reduce consumption (cfm) by almost 1% for every one psi of pressure reduction. You will achieve extra savings if your compressor-control systems can turn down compressor power in response to reduced flow or unload and possibly shut off unnecessary compressors.
The best pressure at which to set your system is the level where your production can operate efficiently and effectively without waste: There is no right pressure—it depends on your machines. That being said, often you may have 90 to 100 psig at the compressor, but at the production machine, where the actual work is being done, you could have only 65 to 70 psig. In some cases, it may be even lower due to pressure drops in undersized piping, filters, regulators, lubricators and tubing and connectors. The goal is to lower compressor discharge pressure without affecting the end-users. The method is to address these pressure differentials and get the pressure to the machines with minimal loss; then the compressor discharge pressure may be reduced even more. This is typically a job for a controls programmer.
Having artificially high plant-pressure can help you deal with surges in compressed air demand that might occasionally cause low-pressure and affect production. The higher pressure acts to store reserve air in the various volumes made up of receivers, pipes and such in your system. However, the higher pressure costs more to produce and makes unregulated end uses consume more air, which is an expensive trade-off. Another strategy might be to use a pressure/flow controller and large storage receiver capacity in the compressor room. This will supply stored air for surges, but maintain lower plant pressures to reduce artificial demand caused by elevated pressures. Your compressed air service provider can assist with implementing this.

A new perspective—Workshops AC2018
A new perspective—Workshops AC2018
June 09, 2018
Participants broke out into smaller groups for workshops to further explore different topics including mental health, discipleship, Justice For Our Neighbors, benefits and mission education.
Two different workshops discussed mental health—a topic becoming increasingly important.
One workshop gathered people in small circles to have conversations that prepared participants to lead similar conversations in their local churches.
The other workshop held a panel with mental health clinicians who shared practical ways churches can make a difference in the mental health needs of their community.
Amber Jerson, of Asbury United Methodist, attended the mental health panel.
"It was really interesting to hear what they had to say because they were involved with churches, but also involved in mental health in Iowa and worked with clients, so they had both sides," Jerson said.
The workshops are interesting, provide a different perspective and serve as a guide to learn more about ways people in the conference can branch out to people in their communities.
Jerson said she now can help the church find ways to branch out to the people within her congregation and the communities that are struggling with mental health issues.

PackBitsYou can use the
PackBitsprocedure to compress a data buffer stored in RAM.
PROCEDURE PackBits (VAR srcPtr, dstPtr: Ptr; srcBytes: Integer);
- On entry, a pointer to the first byte of a buffer of data to be compressed. On exit, a pointer to the first byte following the bytes compressed.
- On entry, a pointer to the first byte in which to store compressed data. On exit, a pointer to the first byte following the compressed data.
- The number of bytes of uncompressed data to be compressed. In versions of software prior to version 6.0.2, this number must be 127 or less.
srcBytesbytes of data beginning at the location specified by the
srcPtrparameter and stores it at the location specified by the
dstPtrparameter. It then modifies the
dstPtrvariables to point to the first bytes after the uncompressed and compressed data, respectively.
Your application must allocate memory for the destination buffer itself. In general, you should allocate enough memory for a worst-case scenario. In the worst case, the destination buffer is 128 bytes long for each block of source data up to 127 bytes. Thus, you can use the following formula to determine how much space to allocate for the destination buffer:
maxDstBytes := srcBytes + (srcBytes+126) DIV 127;where
maxDstBytesstands for the maximum number of destination bytes.
PackBitsalgorithm is most effective on data buffers in which there are likely to be series of bytes containing the same value. For example, resources of many formats often contain many consecutive zeros. If you have a data buffer in which there are only likely to be series of words or long words containing the same value,
PackBitsis unlikely to be effective.
Because your application must allocate memory for the source and destination buffers,
PackBitsdoes not move relocatable blocks. Thus, you can call it at interrupt time.
PackBitschanges the values of the
dstPtrparameters, you should pass to
PackBitsonly copies of pointers to the source and destination buffers. This allows you to access the beginning of the source and destination buffers after
PackBitsreturns. Also, if the source or destination buffer is stored in an unlocked, relocatable block, this technique prevents
PackBitsfrom changing the value of a master pointer, which would make the original handle invalid.
SEE ALSOFor an example of the use of the
PackBitsprocedure, see Listing 3-3 on page 3-20.

Bidens have orchid named after them in Singapore
SINGAPORE - US Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill received a customary Singapore honour Friday - an orchid named after them - as they paid an official visit to the tropical city state.
Singapore has long used orchid naming to recognise international leaders, with high-profile political figures including Nelson Mandela and Margaret Thatcher having blossoms at Singapore's National Orchid Garden.
The Bidens were feted at a ceremony at the 63-hectare (155 acre) garden, where a new hybrid orchid, Dendrobium Joe and Jill Biden, was named in their honour.
The vice president signed a symbolic "birth certificate" officially naming the orchid, one of many new varieties constantly being developed in Singapore.
"Mr. Prime Minister, never did I think in my wildest dreams that I would have an orchid named after me and my wife," a smiling Biden told Singapore's Lee Hsien Loong.
"That was beyond any expectations I ever had as a child or an an adult."
VIP orchid-naming first took root in 1957 during British colonial rule when a variety was named after Anne Black, the wife of London's high commissioner to Singapore.
Singapore is a leading exporter of orchids and its national flower is an indigenous violet-hued variety called the Vanda "Miss Joaquim".


Global Economics
European Countries Top World's Happiest
People living in European countries are among the happiest in the world, according to a new survey measuring health, wealth, education and sense of identity.
Denmark tops the list of 178 countries closely followed by Switzerland, Austria and Iceland. Also in the top 20 are Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands and Norway.
The least happy Europeans live in the Baltic countries - Lithuania (155), Latvia (154), Estonia (139) - followed by Slovakia (129) and Hungary (107).
In between, Germany ranks 35, the UK 41, Spain 46, Italy 50, France 62 and Poland 99.
The survey showed that happiness is found to be most closely associated with health, followed by wealth and then education.
"There is a belief that capitalism leads to unhappy people," said UK Leicester University social psychologist Adrian White responsible for the report.
"However, when people are asked if they are happy with their lives, people in countries with good healthcare, a higher GDP per capita, and access to education were much more likely to report being happy," he explained in a statement.
At the very bottom on the list were the African countries Burundi, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
"The concept of happiness, or satisfaction with life, is currently a major area of research in economics and psychology, most closely associated with new developments in positive psychology," Mr White added.
A recent BBC survey found that 81 percent of the UK population think their government should focus on making people happier rather than wealthier.
The survey was based on the findings of over 100 different studies around the world, which questioned some 80,000 people in total under the banner of organisations such UNESCO, the CIA and the World Health Organisation.

Word Origin & History
"hindmost part of an animal," O.E. tægl, tægel, from P.Gmc. *tagla- (cf. O.H.G. zagal, Ger. Zagel "tail," dialectal Ger. Zagel "penis," O.N. tagl "horse's tail"), from PIE *doklos, from base *dek- "something long and thin" (referring to such things as fringe, lock of hair, horsetail; cf.
O.Ir. dual "lock of hair," Skt. dasah "fringe, wick"). The primary sense, at least in Gmc., seems to have been "hairy tail," or just "tuft of hair," but already in O.E. the word was applied to the hairless "tails" of worms, bees, etc. Another O.E. word for "tail" was steort (see stark). Meaning "reverse side of a coin" is from 1680s; that of "backside of a person, buttocks" is recorded from c.1300; slang sense of "pudenda" is from mid-14c.; that of "woman as sex object" is from 1933, earlier "prostitute" (1846). The tail-race (1776) is the part of a mill race below the wheel. To turn tail "take flight" (1580s) originally was a term in falconry. The image of the tail wagging the dog is attested from 1907.
"limitation of ownership," a legal term, 1321 in Anglo-Fr.; 1284 in Anglo-L., in most cases an aphetic form of entail.
"follow secretly," U.S. colloquial, 1907, is from earlier sense of "follow or drive cattle," from tail (n.1). Tail off "diminish" is attested from 1854.

tail (tāl) Pronunciation Key
 1. The rear, elongated part of many animals, extending beyond the trunk or main part of the body. Tails are used variously for balance, combat, communication, mating displays, fat storage, propulsion and course correction in water, and course correction in air.
 2. A long, stream of gas or dust forced from the head of a comet when it is close to the Sun. Tails can be up to 150 million km (93 million miles) long, and they always point away from the Sun because of the force of the solar wind. ◇ Plasma tails, or ion tails, appear bluish and straight and narrow, and are formed when solar wind forces ionized gas to stream off the coma. Dust tails are wide and curved, and are formed when solar heat forces trails of dust off the coma; solid particles reflecting the Sun's light create their bright yellow color.

WATCHING LOCAL BIRDS
The south coast of Oregon is a wonderful place to watch birds. Given our wide variety of habitats-- from ocean waves, offshore rocks, beaches, and headlands, to rivers and marshes, forests and mountains--we have a wide variety of birds. Birders have identified 396 species in Curry County alone.
Many songbirds and waterbirds come here to winter, and during spring and fall migrations thousands of shorebirds, enormous flocks of geese, and other species of birds pass through.
Our distinctive offshore rocks, all protected in the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, also provide unique breeding habitat for over 700,000 sea birds--a significant percentage of seabird nesting habitat for the entire west coast.

A confluence is defined as a meeting point where two or more rivers merge to become the source for a new river. This river merge adjusts its geometric parameters depending of the characteristics of its confluent rivers, particularly wide and intersection angle. Based on this idea and supported by the availability of satellite images, in this paper we classificated 43 confluences located in Tabasco, Mexico. We considered the geometry (plan view) and the intersection angle as a key elements, and applied multivariate statistical analysys to did the clasification. Results shown three groups: I. Similarity between the width of the three rivers and intersection angle less than 80°; II. Similarity between the width of the three rivers and intersection angle between 80° and 160°; and group III. Similarity between the width of the main river (the largest confluence river) and the river merge, intersection angle less than 100°. Once this classification was done, next step is to do both hydraulic and sedimentological studies, to understand the integral behavior of the confluences and verify that the proposed classification, not only have geometrical similarities, but its hydraulic and sedimentological operation are also similar. Due to difficulty to study many confluences, the best way is to chosee the representative and analyze it. Here we proposed an alternative to do it, that can be useful for scientist, enginnerings and students interested in to study confluences.

Effects of non-local exchange on core level shifts for gas-phase and adsorbed molecules
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2014
Density functional theory calculations are often used to interpret experimental shifts in core level binding energies. Calculations based on gradient-corrected (GC) exchange-correlation functionals are known to reproduce measured core level shifts (CLS) of isolated molecules and metal surfaces with reasonable accuracy. In the present study, we discuss a series of examples where the shifts calculated within a GC-functional significantly deviate from the experimental values, namely the CLS of C 1s in ethyl trifluoroacetate, Pd 3d in PdO and the O 1s shift for CO adsorbed on PdO(101). The deviations are traced to effects of the electronic self-interaction error with GC-functionals and substantially better agreements between calculated and measured CLS are obtained when a fraction of exact exchange is used in the exchange-correlation functional.

Revisiting Scheduling and User Association in Heterogeneous Networks When the Backhaul Links are of Limited Capacity
Speaker(s) : Catherine Rosenberg (U. Waterloo, Canada)
We present a study on the impact of the limited capacity of backhaul links on user scheduling, and user association in a heterogeneous cellular network. We show that the backhaul limitations have a critical impact on user scheduling, but a minor impact on user association. We propose backhaul-aware user scheduling schemes that are computationally simple and hence easy to implement, and yet can perform very well. We also propose online backhaul-unaware user association rules that are very efficient. These results are significant since they impact the way base stations and user equipment should be designed.

which is an analytic version of the fact that every integer is uniquely a sum of distinct powers of 2. What I didn't realize at the time, but learned from George Andrews article Euler's "De Partitio Numerorum", in the current issue (Vol. 44, No. 4) of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, is that this is due to Euler. This is hardly surprising, though, as Euler was as far as I know the first person to apply generating functions to partitions. (The result was known before that; it's the generating-function statement that's due to Euler.)
But here's one I didn't know:
This is an analytic version of the fact that every integer is uniquely a sum of distinct powers of 3 and their negatives, and is Theorem 4 of the Andrews paper. For example, 1 = 1, 2 = 3-1, 3 = 3, 4 = 3+1, 5 = 9-3+1, 6 = 9-3, 7 = 9-3+1, and so on.
To see this fact combinatorially, note that we can make 3k sums out of the numbers 30, 31,..., 3k-1; for each of these we include the number, its negative, or neither. If we can show that these are the distinct integers from -l to l, where l = (3k-1)/2, then that's enough. (For example, when k = 2, we have l = 4, and the nine possible sums of 1, 3, and their negatives are
-3-1, -3, -3+1, -1, 0, 1, 3-1, 3, 3+1
where "0" denotes the empty sum. These are just the integers from -4 to 4.)
But this can be shown by induction on k. Clearly it's true for k = 0. Then, for the induction, consider the 3k sums of the powers of three up to 3k-1 and their negatives; by the inductive hypothesis these are just the integers in the interval. Now consider the 3k+1 sums of the powers of three up to 3k and their negatives. There are 3k of these which are just the ones which don't include 3k. Those that include +3k add up to, and those which include -3k add up to. These three intervals put together are, as desired. (For example, when k=2, these three intervals are [-4, 4], [5, 13], and [-13, -5], which together make up [-13, 13].) By induction, we can make each integer in uniquely as a sum of distinct powers of 3 which are less than 3k and their negatives, which is essentially the desired result.
The last section of the article talks about partitions with some negative parts, or "signed partitions". For example, 9+8-6-5 is a signed partition of 6. These are a bit more awkward to work with in terms of generating functions -- the generating function above about the powers of 3 doesn't converge, ever! So it's basically a curiosity, but one can actually prove things about these signed partitions using generating functions; see the article for examples.

Speaking with: Duane Hamacher on Indigenous astronomy
Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people have between 40,000 and 60,000 years of pre-colonial history that includes stories of constellations they observed in the night sky and traditions that align with the stars and the moon. But until recently, these stories were largely dismissed by the scientific community.
Researchers are now finding that Indigenous oral traditions contain vast environmental and scientific intelligence. These complex knowledge systems have helped Indigenous people survive Australia for tens of thousands of years.
I catch up with cultural astronomer Duane Hamacher about Indigenous astronomy and its complex relationship to history, culture and applied scientific knowledge.

Objective: Military life involves unique occupational exposures, including increased job demands, work-family conflict, sexual harassment and assault, and combat-related deployment experiences. The purpose of this study was to compare age differences in self-reported mental health outcomes for women and men with and without a history of active duty military service in a non-institutionalized, population-based sample.
Methods: We used weighted data from the 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (n=415,364) to assess the association between active duty military service and self-reported mental health outcomes. We conducted sexand age-stratified multivariate logistic regression using Stata version 11.
Results: Compared to their civilian counterparts, women and men aged 18 to 44 with active duty military service were significantly less likely to report one or more days of "not good" mental health in the past 30 days (OR=0.78, OR=0.73, respectively) or to have an elevated Kessler-6 score (OR=0.57, OR=0.79, respectively). Mental health outcomes were similar for women and men in older age groups regardless of military exposure.
Conclusion: Younger individuals with active duty military service were less likely to report mental health issues than non-military women and men from the same age group. It is possible that some aspects of military training may promote mental health for those most proximal to the exposure or that military service affords younger individuals greater access to mental health screening, education, prevention, and treatment than civilian women and men.

[How to make meat dumplings delicious?
】 _How to do_How to do
In daily life, people who often cook often know that they must change patterns and tastes frequently, so that even if the family eats nutrition, it can also increase the family's appetite. Everyone knows that they want to eat meat fillings and mix them by themselves.It can also add a little fun to life and make life more diversified, but how to make meat dumplings delicious?
In fact, the meat dumplings are delicious when there is a trick.
How to make meat dumplings delicious?
1. First, choose the meat (pork, lamb, beef, etc.). According to personal preference, it is not good to choose lean meat. The dumpling stuffed out will be slightly dry and affect the taste.
So choose fat and thin, fat and lean meat is best.
2. You can use a meat grinder to grind the filling, eliminating the need for a chop.
If you like to eat better dumplings and overcome the force of dumplings, you can chop it by yourself. First cut the meat into thin slices, then cut it into shreds, and finally cut it into small dices. Cut before chopping.Try to cut it a bit.
3. The meat filling is adjusted well. The step of adding water is very important. Add the chopped meat filling to the water three times. After each addition, it will be even for a while, then place it for a while and add it again.
When stirring, pay attention to turning in a clockwise direction, add the minced ginger to the meat, and then add cooking wine, salt, chicken essence, and pepper powder in order.
4. In order to color the meat, it seems to overcome the appetite, then add soy sauce and continue to stir, then add the sesame oil on top until it is stirred vigorously.
5, chopped scallions and garlic for later use, it is best to enlarge the scallions, the scallions can not adjust the taste of scallions.
Chopped green onion and ginger should be placed when you eat it. If you leave it for too long, it will affect the taste. If you do n't add other vegetables, just eat meat and green onion stuffing.
6. After the onion is enlarged and mixed evenly, put a spoonful of oil on it, so that the meat filling looks more smooth and smooth, tastes more fragrant and tastes better.
The prepared mincemeat can be baked patties, and dumplings and buns can be made.
How to make delicious dumpling stuffing?
First of all, the ratio of meat and vegetables should be appropriate.
First, the meat-to-dish ratio of dumplings is 1: 1 or 1: 0.
5 is appropriate.
First, don't dump the juice.
It is determined that more than 60% of the vitamins will be lost after the Chinese cabbage is dehydrated.
In order to avoid nutrition loss and waste, the scientific method is: after chopping the vegetable stuffing, first squeeze the vegetable juice out into the pot, add the meat and soy sauce one after the other, and stir thoroughly to make the vegetable juice penetrate into the meat, thenAdd the dishes and stir well.
For vegetarian dumplings, you can also chop the vegetable stuffing first, pour it into the pan (pot), add cooking oil (vegetable oil) and stir gently, let the oil wrap the vegetables, and then add salt and seasoning.
In this way, not only the nutrition is preserved, the dumpling fillings are also tender and delicious. If it is leek meat fillings, the vegetable fillings are mixed with oil, and then the mixed meat fillings (with enough salt) are poured and mixed well.
The vegetable stuffing is mixed with oil first, and is covered with a layer of oil film. It is not easy to dehydrate when it encounters salt.
The dumplings wrapped with this stuffing taste very fresh and have a clear fragrance of vegetable juice.
Finally, the meat is chopped.
Make the stuffed meat and chop it with a knife to become velvety.
When there is a lot of lean meat, you can add the appropriate amount of vegetable juice or water; when there is a lot of fat, add less vegetable juice or water, and stir vigorously in one direction.
After the meat is sticky, add appropriate amount of pepper powder, spiced oil, salt, fresh ginger, MSG, sesame oil, and continue to stir.
At the same time, soy sauce should be added slowly little by little.
If there is broth, it is best to add broth, add the drops and stir until it becomes a paste, and then pour the vegetable stuffing and stir well.
Dumplings made with this kind of dumpling stuffing have rich soup and tender meat.
When adding dumplings with a little sugar, the dumplings will have a delicious seafood flavor.
