BVC - Raisin wines Chuck_CTR_Graves at
Fri Nov 19 12:18:17 PST 1999
 Hi, all.
 Magdalena, here's what I found.
 Apicius uses raisin wines in his recipes but no recipe for raisin
 wine. The recipes I have are from The Queen's Closet Opend (1655) and
 Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery (dated to c. _PHONE_).
 However, I find these editorial notes (from John Edwards) regarding
 Apicius in the Introduction:
 Roman Cooking Wines
 Apicius was concerned with the kitchen, not the wine cellar, and
 his are principally cooking wines, with the exception of certain
 spiced and honeyed varieties served at the beginning of the Roman
 Passum (raisin wine) was made from the musk-flavored psythian or
 muscatel grapes. These were left of the vine and not picked until
 they had shriveled to half their weight. Alternatively, the grapes
 were aged more rapidly through being picked when ripe, then spread
 out on trays under the sun, or else they were immersed in boiling
 olive oil. The raisins were then soaked in a superior wine until
 they became swollen. At this stage they were crushed underfoot and
 pressed. Passum of the second rank was obtained by adding water to
 the grapes for another pressing. The Romans of Apicius' day valued
 Cretan passum most highly, followed by varieties from Cilicia (a
 Roman province in Asia Minor facing Cyprus), Africa (Libya), and
 lastly Italy. Apicius used raisin wine to color, sweeten, and
 flavor meats, vegetables, and fish. Passum invariably appears in
 the ingredients for sweet sauces. The modern descendants of passum
 are Italian passito wines, and the vins de paille of France.
 That's all I can dig up at present.

text: NON is a project space founded by video artist Chan Sook Choi and architect Ido Shin. As Koreans living in Berlin since 2001, since the very beginning they have been interested in seeking a kind of universal identity spanning the various backgrounds of Berlin based contemporary artists in order to examine the question of identity as it is often perceived from the outside; according to gender, nationality and cultural milieu. To this end they created NON Berlin - Asia Contemporary Art Platform - in 2014. Two ideas are the mainstay of this: firstly, 'NON' means 'to discuss' in Chinese. Thus NON Berlin opens up a platform for discussing the dichotomy between 'East and West' and 'Asia and Europe' and initiates 'face to face' meetings, facilitating exchange, discourse and networking. Secondly, and somewhat paradoxically, NON Berlin serves as a negation, 'not Berlin', although the project space - a draw for artists and producers from the independent cultural scenes of the world - is situated in Berlin's centre. NON Berlin is not limited to a particular artistic scene or cultural identity. Instead, it presents projects that seek new interdisciplinary perspectives in order to create an intermediary zone for re-evaluating existing categories. Nomads from multiple or dynamic locations, and mostly stemming from multicultural backgrounds, possess a sensibility for current topics, transformations and fractures via their positioning as contemporary artists.

The curse of thorns and the crown of thorns
In the desert, cacti and thorn bushes mean business. Often, there are impenetrable thickets of rough bushes with spiky thorns that hurt even if you catch a glancing blow. Some cacti don't even wait for a glancing blow but eject their little hairs to hurl at you as the wind of your passage awakens them. Desert thorns means business.
It wasn't always that way. When the earth was created and the Garden of Eden planted nothing inside the Garden would hurt man as he passed. Which was good, because he was naked and not ashamed. Soft plants, beauteous flowers, stately trees, and mild animals dotted the landscape.
Then sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and because he listened to the voice of his wife, the ground became cursed. In some places today, the landscape even hurts to look at it.
After the Fall, thorns sprung up everywhere. Thorns hurt, thorns are negative, thorns are because of sin.
And to Adam he said,
"Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,
'You shall not eat of it,'
cursed is the ground because of you;
18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
(Genesis 3:17-18)
Anytime there was a curse thereafter, thorns are frequently mentioned as part of the curse. (Nu 33:55; Jos 23:12-13; Isa 5:5-6; 7:23-25; 55:8-13; Jer 12:13; Hos 9:6). Jesus used the symbols of "thorns" in his teaching in a negative sense (Matt. 7:16; Mark 4:7, 18; Heb. 6:8).
In Matthew 27:29 we read that the soldiers who were crucifying Christ had some mocking fun with Him and placed a crown of thorns over His head.
Source Logos Bible Software
Trees 'clapping their hands' is indicative of the fact that creation will no longer groan (Romans 8:22) but be glad.
In the crown of thorns placed upon His head, it was not only a mocking activity performed by pagans, but symbolic of the Lamb caught in the thorn thicket when Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac. It is symbolic of the curse of sin that Jesus took upon Himself, so that we may escape it through Him.
EPrata photo
When you see that crown of thorns, and you think about the mockery and pain Jesus endured on our behalf, think about Him the spotless Lamb taking upon Himself the sins you and I do daily.
What a tremendous, loving, wonderful Savior we have in Jesus Christ.
Further Reading
The Splendor of Thorns
Can you imagine the Wal-Mart floral department offering a bouquet of thorns? Does the Garden Center ever advertise Acacia thorn bushes? Do carpenters choose two-by-fours made of thorn wood? Except for our botanist friends, few people find thorns captivating. They are not beautiful. And they don't seem very useful, though they do burn extremely well. The negative associations of thorns are what make their appearance in the Bible so intriguing, for God weaves these very thorns into the revelation of His grace. He gives them a star role in the unfolding drama of His judgment and unbelievable mercy.
The curse on the Man, part 2
In the original Eden you didn't have to have cultivated planned crops, and you didn't have any weeds. You had the natural flourishing of the earth producing all manner of food without crops, as we know them, that now produce flour and from that we make bread and there was no siach, no weeds which grow profusely now. And it also mentions in chapter 2 verse 5 that the rain contributes to that as we well know. Take a vacant piece of dirt, do nothing to it, just wait and let it rain and you will have a flourishing field full of weeds.
What is the meaning and significance of the crown of thorns?

The importance of creating inclusive policy cannot be overstated. In response to this challenge, the UW Tech Policy Lab (TPL) developed the Diverse Voices method in 2015. The method uses short, targeted conversations about emerging technology with "experiential experts" from under-represented groups to provide feedback on draft tech policy documents. This process works to increase the likelihood that the language in the finalized tech policy document addresses the perspectives and circumstances of broader groups of people— ideally averting injustice and exclusion.

Odessa Assault Lawyer
Home > Odessa Criminal Lawyer > Odessa Assault Lawyer
Assault is broadly defined as the unwanted touching of another, usually with the intent to cause harm or injury. An assault charge is the type of crime that carries a negative connotation, such as with a domestic assault. This type of offense can certainly be overwhelming especially if there is also the allegation of the use of a deadly weapon. In these cases, as in all assault charges, it is important those accused consult with an experienced Odessa assault lawyer to begin mitigating the damage and building a defense. An experienced defense attorney will be able to investigate your case and work hard to receive the strongest possible outcome for you.
Types of Assault
When an individual is facing an assault case in Odessa, which is a Class C offense, they are facing potentially a first-degree case that could carry a range of punishment not less than five or not more than life in prison. If a person is charged with a simple assault, which is considered unwanted and reckless touching of a person, or at least a threat of unwanted touching, that is done recklessly. That can be charged as a Class C misdemeanor and the range of punishment would be up to a $500 fine, but a person cannot go to jail on that type of offense. An Odessa assault lawyerwill be able to help someone to understand their particular charges.
The next offense with assault is a Class A misdemeanor. There are no a Class B misdemeanors. Class A assault is characterized by intentional or purposefully inflicting bodily injury on another. For example, if someone pokes another person in the chest but the poke does not actually cause an injury, it could still be classified as a Class C misdemeanor because the poke was unwanted touching. If there is a physical altercation, if there is a fight, that becomes a Class A misdemeanor. For that physical contact, it is both unwanted touching and created some sort of bodily injury and then bodily injury under Texas law is defined as pain.
There is also a branch of an assault that is a Class A Misdemeanor and is considered a domestic assault. This falls under the same definition, except if someone is in a domestic relationship or dating relationship, then it could escalate from a misdemeanor to a felony. A person can have a felony domestic assault which is a third-degree felony carrying with it from two years to 10 years in prison making it imperative that anyone charged with this offense consults with an assault attorney in Odessa.
A felony domestic assault charge is typical with someone who has previously been convicted or been adjudicated on a separate domestic assault case. The other type of assault can carry second-degree charges which can include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon or serious bodily injury. This charge can carry two years to 20 years in prison.
Second-degree charges stem from an assault which causes bodily injury and the assault or threat of the assault is done with a deadly weapon and this is specifically defined under Texas statute. A deadly weapon can include a knife, gun, brass knuckles or any object that could potentially cause deadly harm to a person. An example of a domestic assault which could be classified as a second-degree felony is the act of choking or strangling another. If the neck is strangled in such a way to impede the airway, that act would be a separate offense in Texas and would be classified as a second-degree felony.
Then there are first degree felonies. If the aggravated assault is committed on a public servant such as a police officer, EMS, emergency medical assistance person, someone in law enforcement, and firefighters, the assault is classified as a first-degree felony. A skilled Odessa assault attorney can work hard to help their client mitigate these charges or relieve them all together with a solid defense.

This species of dinoflagellate is a rare visitor to the Rhode River area. The salinity of the mid-Chesapeake Bay is usually too low to support D. accuminata. It has been known to cause toxic shellfish poisoning. The cells average 48u in length and 16u wide with an average total volume of 3.2x103 cubic microns. During late winter and early spring of 2002,
D. accuminata grew to bloom proportions in the Potomac River causing oysters beds to be closed. A few wandering cells were found in main bay and near the mouth of the Rhode River.

Facts & Folkore:
Native to Mexico, the dahlia is related to the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia. Once a major food crop grown by the Aztecs for their tubers, dahlia cultivation died out after the Spanish Conquest. Today the dahlia is still considered one of the signature native ingredients in Oaxacan cuisine; several cultivars are still grown especially for their large, sweet potato-like tubers. Dacopa, an intense mocha-tasting extract from the roasted tubers, is used to flavor beverages throughout Central America. In Europe and America, prior to the discovery of insulin in 1923, diabetics—as well as consumptives—were often given a substance called Atlantic starch or diabetic sugar, derived from inulin, a naturally occurring form of fruit sugar, extracted from dahlia tubers.

COVID-19 Response: For Nonprofits
An update to our nonprofit partners on our response to COVID-19:
Updated January 19, 2021
The Hartford Foundation's COVID-19 Response Fund has made more than 230 grants, distributing more than $9.6 million, since the start of the pandemic. The fund initially focused on basic human needs as a result of health and economic impacts of the pandemic, and then transitioned to supporting a wide variety of nonprofits to provide services safely, including personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning costs, technology and minor building enhancements.
Throughout 2021, the COVID-19 Response Fund will make investments on a rolling basis. Examples of potential grant areas include:
- Vaccine education, outreach and distribution to reach residents who may be hesitant to get vaccinated.
- Systemic approaches to help students catch up on lost learning with a focus on reducing inequities.
Our grantmaking through the COVID-19 Response Fund will be focused on collaborative and systemic efforts. Check this page periodically for updates as the work progresses. We welcome your feedback and ideas at any point; we know it is paramount to remain flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the community.
In considering grants, the Foundation will take into account the following criteria:
- Priority level of the disparity addressed and target population expected to benefit.
- Strength of collaboration and coordination with existing nonprofit, state and local pandemic responses.
- Ability of the proposed strategy to leverage other resources.
- Cultural competency and agency governance diversity (board and staff leadership) that is representative of beneficiaries of the proposed efforts.
- Level of impact on residents of the Greater Hartford region.
The Foundation is proactively working with public entities, nonprofits and other stakeholders to make targeted investments addressing the disparities created or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This work is also taking place within our outcome areas.
Thank you for all of the incredible work your organization has contributed to this year.

- dint •
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: Means, stroke, strength
Notes: Though today's Good Word was once a noun in good standing, today its use is limited to the idiomatic phrase by dint of, which means "by means of, by a stroke of, on the strength of". It is an odd little word. It resembles dent but seems semantically unrelated. We will see in the Word History how they are related.
In Play: The meaning of today's word in its current restricted usage is is similar to the phrase by a stroke of, as in: "Robin Banks acquired his retirement savings by dint of good luck and poor police work." Today this phrase is a synonym of by means of: "Warren Peace finally won Dolly Salvador's affection by dint of immense patience."
Word History: Today's Good Word is a rarity, an authentic English word for which evidence outside English is difficult to find. The original meaning of English dint, also spelled dent, was "a blow or stroke of a weapon". By the middle of the 16th century, however, dent had taken on the sense of the mark left in metal by a blow. Dint then almost dropped from the language, except in phrases like "to take by dint (blow) of sword", meaning by force, by means of arms. From there it was but a short skip to today's meaning. (Today's Good Word came to us by dint of a note from Kiki Borges of Toronto, a new and welcome contributor.)

The construction of dry stack walls (that is, wall construction without the use of mortar), has been a feature of human development for thousands of years. Extraordinary examples of dry stack stonework can be seen at Chaco Canyon in New Mexico; cliff dwellings in Arizona and Colorado; Mayan architecture in Mexico and Central America; and at the Inca city of Machu Picchu in Peru – to name only a few. These examples show that prehistoric cultures recognized the importance of durable construction and, at least in the case of Machu Picchu, the Incas developed techniques that were capable of surviving earthquakes. The walls at Machu Picchu are undoubtedly the finest dry stack construction ever devised.
Figure 1: Dry Stack and Mill Walls
The history of dry stack walls in our neck of the desert may not be as ancient, durable or glamorous as the sites mentioned, but the region still provides a rich testament to this type of construction dating from the latter half of the nineteenth century. These examples owe their use to mining, pioneer settlement and the development of transportation in Territorial Arizona. Their construction was for utilitarian purposes and achieved their desired results while maintaining a conscious focus on economy.
The purpose of this five part series is to describe, through photo and text, a historical context for the type of dry stack construction you are likely to encounter in the mountainous mining areas. Whether you are a fellow historical researcher or simply enjoy recreational trekking, your ability to locate and identify dry stack structures will increase your "situational awareness" about mines and settlements.
Quality and durability of dry stack walls varied greatly during the pioneer and prospecting era. Once you begin studying these structures it becomes relatively easy to distinguish the "Do it yourself" method from well-engineered and patiently constructed walls. For example, an itinerant mine worker might only have been interested in blocking wind and rain with a temporary shelter, where a mine owner needed a durable road that would not wash out during seasonally heavy rainstorms. A dry stack terrace wall at a mine had to be well-engineered to support tons of shipping ore and the constant vibrations of a stamp mill, while the construction of a foundation wall for a house or cabin did not require the same standards. It probably came down to the individual's sense of permanency and the resources at their disposal. For a 'jack' who may have earned $3.00 per day in the tunnels and shafts of a hard rock mine, there was little incentive to make an investment in a permanent structure.
Similarly, primitive pack trails that crossed the rugged mountainsides might be only two feet wide and did not require the scale or precision of wall construction demanded by wider roads that were needed to support heavy loads of equipment and ore shipments.
If you were a miner with several tons of mill ready ore (but no mill), or if you needed equipment and supplies, then you would understand why good roads and trails were vital. The railroad did not reach Wickenburg until 1877. Even then, transportation between a railroad town and the remote mining sites and settlements depended upon horses and mules. That helps explain why arrastres (the poor man's mill) were heavily used in the remote mining areas and – more than likely – explains the absence of milling operations even at many large mine sites. Milling equipment was simply too bulky or heavy to transport over these "rough and heavy" roads.
So, with this introduction, let's study a few of the dry stacks that you will find in the vicinity of the Wickenburg/Weaver/Bradshaw mountain ranges (east and north) and the Harquahala Mountains to the west.
Stage Coach and Freight Roads
When you are exploring remote areas you will be presented with many opportunities to spot historical features, such as the dry stack wall shown below. Notice that the actual 'road' is virtually impossible to detect because trees and shrubs now cover the route.
Figure 2: Stage Coach Road
The dry stack wall shown in Figure 2 is part of a stage coach road east of Wickenburg, situated between Hamlin Wash and Morgan Butte, south of Buckhorn Road. This road runs in an easterly direction for several miles and then branches in three directions (north, east and south). It connects to several historically important mine sites and settlements. The view in this photo looks in a westerly direction. This road probably pre-dates modern Constellation and Buckhorn Roads by two or three decades. Unless you are particularly observant, you are unlikely to see this feature, since there is only one viewpoint that exposes the old road. It illustrates several points:
- The original surface and slope of an old road or trail will inevitably be altered by decades of runoff and sedimentation that settles onto the abandoned roadway.
- Natural growth of vegetation will eventually reclaim the original margins of the roadway.
- A dry stack wall – regardless of its size – may be the only way to locate an old road.
Figure 3: Stage Coach Road Close-up View
The view in Figure 3 is a closer examination of the dry stack wall. This photo angle is only possible by hiking from above (right) to this south-facing slope, or via foot, horse or ATV from below (left). It is a particularly impressive dry stack wall; measuring nearly 100 feet in length and approximately twenty feet high at the center.
The builders of this wall are unknown to me but, based upon legend, were probably Chinese laborers. A notable feature of the wall is that it had a 'staggered' construction. In other words, the upper portion of the wall was offset from the lower portion. This allowed the upper wall segment to rest upon the reinforced foundation below it and contributes to overall structural integrity. Close examination of the wall reveals that many of the rocks were shaped to provide a tight fit. Also, the individual rocks do not protrude from the contour – the exposed surface of the wall is generally smooth.
Within a few hundred yards of this location there are another half-dozen dry stacks. Where there are no walls to support the roadway, sedimentation from the uphill slopes has virtually erased any evidence of the road, and native vegetation has obscured what remains of the original roadway. These dry stack walls have survived the elements for nearly 140 years and remain in wonderful condition to this day.
If you think of mine roads as branches from a stage coach route (that is, 'highways' leading to arterial roads and trails), then you can find many trails that will take you to old mines. Figure 4 shows a dry stack wall that was part of the famous "$17,000 Road constructed by George Mahoney between the settlement of Constellation and O'Brien Gulch. One of the dry stacks is visible to the left and right of the Saguaro cactus in the photo center. Mahoney discovered the Gold Bar Mine in 1877, but was constrained from transporting supplies and heavy equipment by the lack of an adequate road. He undertook the construction of this road in 1884 to address the problem.
Figure 4: Mahoney's Road
To the left and right of the Saguaro cactus you can see a dry stack wall that is considerably more modest in construction than what is shown in Figure 2. In contrast to the previous wall, this dry stack made use of more 'irregular' shaped rocks. In other words, the rocks were not shaped by stone masons to provide a tight geometrical fit. Instead, the placement of individual rocks in the wall was based upon their individual shape. Mahoney's road was narrower and less well engineered, but it served its purpose very well. I have never attempted to count the number of dry stacks on the route between Constellation and the bottom of O'Brien Gulch but I estimate there are at least a dozen walls along this route. The road is now nearly 130 years old. Today it can only be traveled by foot for the entire length, but the walls remain a testament to its durability.
Other stage coach and freight road walls have not survived the test of time, as seen in Figure 5. In this example, the ravages of weather have claimed the center portion of the wall. In spite of its collapse from seasonal flooding, it still serves as a marker to pioneer activity so, in that regard, its condition doesn't really matter.
Figure 5: Collapsed Dry Stack Wall
What do these photos suggest to you? To me, I see careful, well engineered construction. The rocks were carefully stacked and, when necessary, were shaped by stone masons to provide the best possible fit in the wall. Even though the dry stack in Figure 5 has partially collapsed, it is only the result of heavy runoff on a road that has been abandoned for at least a century. Figure 4 suggests, to me, a more economical approach to construction. It did not require shaped stonework but it is still well built. The hillside roads shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5 were also generally wider than Mahoney's Road into O'Brien Gulch.
It is important to consider that these roads were not 'public' highways in the sense that we are accustomed today. They were all built at the expense of a mine owner or stage/freight company for the purpose of expediting supplies, equipment and passengers. They were, in effect, only as wide and sturdy as needed to accommodate the type of traffic of the era and to endure (without excessive maintenance) for as long as possible.
The next article (Part Two) will deal with mine trail construction and will illustrate a different type of trail structure and dry stack walls. Examination of these trails and walls will show that they were typically more economical and designed with more modest objectives than what you have seen in Part One.

- Dalt Vila - the fortified old town of Ibiza
- San Miguel church
- Santa Gertudis church
- Roman bridge in Santa Eulalia
Recent archaeological diggings prove that the first settlements on Ibiza and Formentera date back to over 3000 years ago. A grave was found on Formentera which dates back to 1600 years B.C. Cave paintings at Ses Fontanelles (north from San Antonio - 800 years B.C.) and bronze axes and discs found near San Juan and San Agustin (700 years B.C.) provide further evidence of these early settlements.
In the year 654 B.C. the Carthaginians discovered Ibiza and founded Ibiza Town, making this one of the earliest towns in Europe. The christened the town Ibossim, quite similar to its present day name. Another name for Ibiza which has survived until now comes from the Greeks, who came to Ibiza during the time of the Carthaginians: they called the two islands of Ibiza and Formentera, the Pitiusas - which means the pine-covered island.
The Carthaginian people originated in Phoenicia, and became known as the Carthaginians after the founding of the city of Carthage (geographically located in the Tunisia of today). Whilst the Romans called them in Latin, the Punic folk.
The Carthaginians were merchants and traders, and Ibiza became a very important trading centre. Even in those days, Ibiza boasted a large harbour and strong city walls - (although the walls we can see today were built much, much later). The most important of the goods traded was 'White Gold' - Salt. The Salinas which were constructed by the Carthaginians are still used to day to win salt from sea water, by a process of evaporation.
Ibiza also played an important role in the Carthaginian culture as their largest burial grounds. Historians assume that the dead were buried here because there were no wild animals to dig them out again. The burial grounds at Puig des Molins in Ibiza Town is home to the world's largest collection of punic artefacts - most of which have been discovered in graves. A case of the dead being buried with utensils and objects to help them on the way in the next life.
Amongst the Gods of the Carthaginians, the Goddess Tanit enjoys particular fame. She is the Mother of the Gods, the Goddess of the Earth and of fertility. You can see her image on many of the ceramic pots made on Ibiza today.
'Carthage must be destroyed'. It was this battle cry which accompanied the Romans into the Punic Wars. They succeeded, and eventually, in 123 B.C., conquered the Balearic Islands. Not even Hannibal could prevent this, when he marched across the Alps with his elephants 100 years previously to invade and conquer Rome, (which, as you may know, he didn't quite manage). This legendary general is supposed to have been born on the island of Conejera just off the coast of San Antonio.
The Romans called Ibiza, Ebusus. The island was not however made part of the Roman Empire. It retained its independence as a confederation town. Evidence of the Roman occupation can still be seen by the gates at the entrance to Dalt Vila (the Old Town), where there are two copies of Roman statues; and in Santa Eulalia, where the old Roman bridge crosses the now dried-up river at the entrance to the town. This bridge has recently been restored.
After the Romans, between the 5th and 9th centuries A.D. there are large gaps in the chronological history of the Pitiusan Islands. Remember that this is the time of the Goths and Visigoths in Europe - a dark ages where there is little historical record. During this time, Ibiza was invaded and conquered by such folk as the Vandals, the Barbarians and the Byzantines. Ibiza enjoyed a certain independence under the Byzantine Empire. Improvements to her irrigation system and the share-cropping system are due to Byzantine influence. One of the few relics of this epoch is the underground Chapel at Santa Ines.
The Arabs came in the 9th century A.D. and stayed for almost 500 years. They called the island Yebisah. The arabic influence can still be felt strongly today in many customs, such as the construction of the houses, traditional costumes and musical instruments, and of course in the island dialect 'Ibicenco'.
On the hill in Ibiza Town, they built a large mosque (on the ruins of a temple dedicated to the God Mercury) and fortified the city walls. The remains of these walls and some of the watchtowers can still be seen today. Ibiza experienced a period of economic growth under Arab rule. The Salt fields, agriculture and fishing were the main sources of income.
Ibiza was conquered by the Catalans on the 8th August, 1235. Legend says that the the strongly fortified citadel was only eventually captured through treachery: Ibiza Town was considered at that time to be unconquerable due to its city walls and fortuitous geographical location. However, the ruling Sheik and his brother quarrelled over a mistress from his harem, whereupon the brother revealed the secret underground entrance to the Town, to the besieging Catalan forces. You can still see this secret passage in the Calle de San Ciriaco in Dalt Vila. Unfortunately you can't crawl through it, as it is fenced off to the public!
The Catalans tore down the Arab mosque, and built the present day Cathedral on its foundations. The villages of the island were renamed after Christian Saints, and many churches were constructed: the oldest of which are in Santa Eulalia, San Antonio, San Miguel and Sant Jordi. Most of the rest of the island's churches were built in the 18th century.
The medieval festival is held every year on the second Friday in May. Come and see how we lived in Ibiza 1000 years ago!
The ruling Catalans (from mainland Spain) rather neglected the islands during the following centuries, which were marked by plundering and marauding by pirates. In order to defend themselves, the villagers built the defensive churches with extra fortified walls, where the village would shelter in the event of an attack. These churches often had cannons on their roofs! In the 16th century, the Italian architect Calvi completed the construction of the walls of Ibiza Town - the same walls we see today.
The pirate towers lining the coast were built a bit later. Some of them can still be seen today. Originally, each of these towers was within sight of the next one. In the event of an invasion or sighting of a pirate ship, the tower would light a warning fire, which could be seen by the next tower, which in turn lit its own fire, and so on, until the the entire island was aware of the danger, and was able to seek safety in the churches. A primitive but very effective early warning system.
Ibiza today is perhaps not so different. People from many races and countries descend upon the island each year, take what they want and depart. The locals have been used to this type of behaviour for thousands of years. No wonder that the islanders are famous for their tolerance!

IMAGES: Dire Ike projections
As Hurricane Ike barrels towards the Texas Gulf Coast, the federal government has released computer-generated images to show how bad the storm surge could be for Galveston, the city closest to the projected path. The images illustrate why officials issued a mandatory evacuation order for the city. Federal authorities were blunt, warning Galveston residents: "Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single-family, oneor two-story homes will face certain death." The following images show the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency's projection for potential flooding in Galveston if the storm surge reaches various heights ranging from 3 feet to 15 feet, which have been superimposed over the normal sea levels for the city.

Research was undertaken with the goal of applying general universally-applicable induction methods to complex real-world problems. The goal was only partially met. The chosen domain--the card game Eleusis--was still somewhat artificial, and the universally-applicable induction methods were found to be lacking in important ways. However, the resulting Eleusis program does show that by using knowledge-based data interpretation and rule evaluation techniques and model-fitting induction techniques, general induction methods can be used to solve complex problems.

Assume I have the words A, B and C. In my calculation, occurrences of ABC should have much bigger weight than AB, and occurrences of AB should be much bigger than A.
$W(x,y,z) = P(x)*\frac{1}{111} + P(x,y)*\frac{10}{111} + P(x,y,z)*\frac{100}{111}$
and I apply the context = $\{A, B, C\}$ to function $W$.
$P(x,y)$ means : (number of xy used together) / (count of bigrams)
My question is not about the formula itself, because I have already implemented a much more complicated form of it. However, I cannot write a proper documentation about it. I don't know the math term.
Is there a mathematical term for what $W$ is doing?

"Weighted average". – user1551 Nov 22 '12 at 21:05
Yes, it is weighted average. However isn't there a special name for that when the number of parameters are increasing? I would say P(x), P(x,y) and P(x,y,z) doesn't have the same class. To me weighted average is more like $P(x)*k + P(y)*l + P(z)*m$ – Ali Ok Nov 23 '12 at 0:43

Straddling the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, 50 meters underground and an astonishing 17 miles long; the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is easily the World's biggest gun.
Earlier record holder for Biggest Gun in the WorldThe biggest gun in the world was developed in the 1930s by Krupp for destroying large, heavily fortified targets. The shell punched armor in the thickness of 1 m or 8-metre ferro-concrete overlapping. In the beginning the supergun has received the name "Gustav", but the tradition of firm to give to the products female names it has appeared more strongly, and the invention has changed "sex".
The largest gun ever built was the "Gustav Gun" built in Essen, Germany in 1941 by the firm of Friedrich Krupp A.G. Upholding a tradition of naming heavy cannon after family members, the Gustav Gun was named after the invalid head of the Krupp family - Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. The strategic weapon of its day, the Gustav Gun was built at the direct order of Adolf Hitler for the express purpose of crushing Maginot Line forts protecting the French frontier. To accomplish this, Krupp designed a giant railway gun weighing 1344 tons with a bore diameter of 800 mm (31.5") and served by a 500 man crew commanded by a major-general.
Two types of projectiles were fired using a 3000lb. charge of smokeless powder: a 10,584 lb. high explosive (HE) shell and a 16,540 lb. concrete-piercing projectile. Craters from the HE shells measured 30-ft. wide and 30-ft. deep while the concrete piercing projectile proved capable of penetrating 264-ft. of reinforced concrete before exploding! Maximum range was 23 miles with HE shells and 29 miles with concrete piercing projectiles. Muzzle velocity was approximately 2700 f.p.s.
Three guns were ordered in 1939. Alfried Krupp personally hosted Hitler and Albert Speer (Minister of Armaments) at the Hugenwald Proving Ground during formal acceptance trials of the Gustav Gun in the spring of 1941. In keeping with company tradition, Krupp refrained from charging for the first gun - 7 million Deutsch Marks were charged for the second (named Dora after the chief engineer's wife).
France fell in 1940 without the assistance of the Gustav Gun, so new targets were sought. Plans to use Gustav against the British fortress of Gibraltar were scrapped after General Franco refused permission to fire the gun from Spanish soil. Thus, April 1942 found the Gustav Gun emplaced outside the heavily fortified port city of Sebastopol in the Soviet Union. Under fire from Gustav and other heavy artillery, Forts Stalin, Lenin and Maxim Gorki crumbled and fell. One round from Gustav destroyed a Russion ammunition dump 100 feet below Severnaya Bay; a near miss capsized a large ship in the harbor. Gustav fired 300 rounds during the siege wearing out the original barrel in the process. Dora was set up west of Stalingrad in mid-August but hurriedly withdrawn in September to avoid capture. Gustav next appeared outside Warsaw, Poland, where it fired 30 rounds into Warsaw Ghetto during the 1944 uprising.
Dora was blown up by German engineers in April 1945 near Oberlichtnau, Germany, to avoid capture by the Russian Army. The incomplete third gun was scrapped at the factory by the British Army when they captured Essen. Gustav was captured intact by the U.S. Army near Metzendorf, Germany, in June 1945. Shortly after, it was cut up for scrap thus ending the story of the Gustav Gun.
I hope you enjoyed learning about the biggest and largest Gun in the world. When we tried to find out which is the biggest Gun in the world we found this information. The information above on the biggest Gun in the world is gathered from various world record resources. So, the biggest or largest world record holder may change.

Contrast baths are used for ankle, foot, or hand problems to help
decrease inflammation and pain. They involve dipping the injured limb
alternately into cold and warm (not hot) water.
It is important to end a contrast bath with a soak in cold water
to help reduce swelling.
These baths can be continued at least daily for up to 2 weeks. But
if swelling and bruising last this long, a doctor should be consulted.
There is not much evidence that contrast baths work better than
ice, but the theory is that changing the temperature back and forth between
cold and warm creates a kind of pump. Heat causes blood vessels to get bigger
and cold causes them to get smaller. Alternating between heat and cold means
the blood vessels alternate between bigger and smaller. This change in blood
movement could help reduce inflammation and swelling, and that could improve
range of motion in the joint.

A. what is the elevation of point x?
b. what is the elevation of point y?
c. what is the difference in elevation in meters between point x and point y?
you must have three parts to your answer for this question.
A is on the 1600 contour line so it's 1600.
B. Y is on 1240
C. 360
A. 1600 m
B. 1240 m
C. 360 m
In a topographic map, the contour lines are used to determine elevations, and are made by connecting points of equal elevations. Index contour lines are generally darker and are marked with their elevations. Lighter contour lines don't have elevations, but can be determined counting up or down the nearest index contour line and multiplying by the contour interval, which tells the difference in altitude between contour lines. The contour interval is stated on every topographic map. In this case, the contour interval is 20m. So, to determine the altitude of point Y, we have to count 2 contour intervals from the Index contour line that shows altitude 1200, and multiply it by the contour interval:
2 * 20m = 40m
So, the difference in altitude from the Index contour line 1200 to Y is 40m. We can conclude that we have to add this elevation, because the next Index contour line is 1300, so the elevation at point Y is 1240m.
Point X is part of the Index contour line 1600, so its elevation is 1600m.
To get the difference between the 2 points, we simply subtract X - Y
So, 1600m - 1240m = 360m

The 1834 Great Map, River John and Vicinity 1841, AF Church county maps 1864, and the Pictou County Illustrated Historical Atlas 1879, are now available on _URL_, courtesy of the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library.
"This is part of our Regional Public Library's commitment to making local information and heritage for Antigonish and Pictou counties accessible to everyone, citizens and visitors alike" says Library Board Chair Troy MacCulloch. "People use the atlas and church maps often in our libraries and local museums but having them online makes them accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
The 1834 Great Map is a particular treasure as the only copy available is in Halifax at the Nova Scotia Archives. Few people from the Antigonish and Pictou areas will have ever viewed it. This map, hand drawn by Pictonian surveyor William MacKay shows roads, settlements, and many other features in good detail. The Great Map panel for the River John area is missing but with help from the local historical association and Community Access Program committee a map showing the area in 1841 was located and digitized, helping complete the picture. For genealogists, local historians, and anyone who is curious as to what their community looked like in the 1800's these are invaluable "windows on the past".
The maps are part of a larger ongoing project by the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library called Nova Story. The goal is to digitize and present online any and all historical materials related to the two counties.
"We have a large collection of local histories, pamphlets, maps, as well as all kinds of other materials" explains Chief Librarian Eric Stackhouse, "and we know many others in the community have records as well. We have been fortunate to have many partners working with us to obtain the best software and to have skilled staff who can digitize these priceless materials effectively".
The maps, and other Nova Story materials, can be viewed online at _URL_ and are being added to weekly.


", then the digit for the region number ("0" in New York City), the number "1", then a letter. Reservation routes will begin the same way, with the third digit being any other than zero, and ending with the letter "R". The second row will have the same county designation, with the third and fourth digits being a sequence the same as a service road. The third row will begin with: 1, Reservations or Department of Health; 2, Military and Naval Affairs; 3, Education; 4, State Police; 5, Executive-Youth; 6, Conservation; 7, Corrections; 8, Social Services; 9, Mental Hygiene; O, Other.
If a new routing of a highway is constructed that is significantly different from the existing route, the legend will be varied to avoid duplication.
If a new county is entered, the next available county order number will be used. For example, NY 3 originally began at NY 104 in Hannibal in Oswego County. Ending in Plattsburgh, the county order ended with 08. Later, NY 3 was extended to the west at NY 104A. With this extension entering Cayuga County, that segment used the county sequence of 09, even though it was to the west of Oswego County's 01.
If a realignment would require the use of new sequencing numbers, the first sequencing number (second digit) is increased by one, and the last two digits either start at 00 or at one higher than the end of the existing routing. Examples include the bypass of NY 43 in Rensselaer County, replacing existing routing in and around Rensselaer; the construction of "Alternate 7" (NY 7 between I-87 and I-787 in Albany County), and the aforementioned NY 3 between the Cayuga County line and its former terminus at NY 104.
In the event that the second digit in the third row increments beyond 9, the control segment number will be incremented by one. The control segment will also increment for a discontinuous route in the same county, such as NY 24 in Suffolk County, as well for any crossings of the state line, such as NY 17 (future I-86) when the highway was re-routed around Waverly and into Pennsylvania (see photo above).
Old and new style reference markers on NY 51 in Otsego County between Morris and New Lisbon
Originally, reference markers were on square 8-inch (200 mm) signs and the numbers were not reflective. The second and third rows had much smaller digits. In many areas of the state, older markers are still present or are used in combination with newer, reflective ones.
In an oddity, the former NY 57 still retains many of its reference markers (in the old style) well after its decommissioning in 1980. This is also the case for former NY 380 in Chautauqua County.

FRIDAY: Celebrating Catholic School Donors
TIP: Use this as a step in a multi-layered advancement strategy. Follow up with thank-you notes, encourage donors to save the date for Many Gifts, One Nation: A Day of Giving to Catholic Schools, and track their engagement.
Suggestions for Celebrating Catholic School Donors
 - Make donors feel part of your community. People are more inclined to give when others are doing the same, by explaining how their single gift is leveraged by the support of others, people better understand the broader impact of their donation.
 - Educate on the importance of philanthropic support. Many prospective donors do not understand that Catholic schools cannot thrive on tuition dollars alone. Donors need to be educated about the economic reality of the Catholic school as it relates to local and national financial constraints.
 - Clearly and persuasively describe the need. In no more than three sentences, explain why your school is seeking a gift.
 - Thank donors. When accepting gifts, ask donors to provide their name as they would like it published in your giving report. This is a personalized touch that shows you appreciate their contribution.
 - Set up a "thank-you" page on your website and say "thanks" to all those who work at the school and who volunteer.
 - Send a list of faculty, staff and volunteers to the parish bulletin editors with a note of thanks and inviting anyone who would like to be a part of the school family to get contact the school.
 - Create a social media post thanking your school's faculty, staff and volunteers and use _TAG_.

This Rulemaking Task (RMT) addresses the following issues:
- The turbine engine endurance test conditions that are required by the Certification Spefications for Engines (CS-E) are very hard, if not impossible, to achieve with modern engines.
- An initial maintenance inspection (IMI) test for turbine engines is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations for many years, but not by the European (Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)) certification specifications (CSs).
- CS-E does not contain a specification for applicants to demonstrate the time between overhauls (TBO) interval. A safety recommendation on this matter was addressed to EASA.
The specific objective of this RMT is to modernise the engine certification test requirements to:
- upgrade the turbine engine endurance test specifications to take into account modern engine design characteristics;
- improve the level of confidence in the robustness of turbine engine designs prior to entry into service, as well as, in some cases, the definition of initial maintenance inspection (IMI) intervals;
- ensure that EASA exercises oversight of the IMI tests and benefits from the resulting knowledge;
- ensure the robust and harmonised substantiation of the TBO and of the maintenance programmes for piston engines; and
- ensure the greatest possible harmonisation with the related FAA regulations and certification policies.

The Detective Lavender Mystery series is a collection of novels from Karen Charlton that explore the adventures of two members of the Bow Street Runners, a police force of sorts that existed in Regency England.
+The Story
'Catching the Eagle' was one of Karen Charlton's earliest works. The book came about when the author and her family went digging into their ancestry. She was surprised to learn that Jamie Charlton, an ancestor on her husband's side, had been quite the criminal.
This inspired Karen to write a story set in Regency England and which looked at the manner in which mysteries were solved at the time. The book told the story of a farm laborer by the names of Jamie Charlton who was accused of stealing a considerable sum.
'Catching the Eagle' matters because it marked the first appearance of Detective Stephen Lavender, a principal officer of the Bow Street Magistrate's court who was called in to investigate the situation.
Detective Stephen Lavender and Constable Ned Woods were just supporting characters when they were first introduced. However, with the relative success of 'Catching the Eagle', Karen Charlton decided to spin them off into their own story, creating the Detective Lavender Mystery series.
The books take place in England in the early 1800s. The protagonists are written to operate as part of the Bow Street Runners, the creation of a Chief Magistrate in London by the names of Henry Fielding, working essentially as the first professional police force in the area.
Stephen Lavender was a real person, a historical figure who people might stumble upon if they dig into court cases from that time period. Karen Charlton took this individual and fleshed him out to create a fully realized character that fights crime in the 1800s.
Detective Lavender is a strong, intelligent and pretty well off individual. He has a good head on his shoulders and it looks like he comes from a privileged section of society. When he is first introduced, the detective is in his early thirties, however, he is so stuffy and cardboard in the way he acts that many readers have admitted to initially confusing him for a much older individual.
Ned Woods is Lavender's opposite, a constable that shouldn't have anything to do with Detective Lavender's murder cases but who keeps getting roped into the renowned officer's business.
Woods and Lavender are best friends, even though that doesn't always seem like the case. Of the two, Woods is the nice one. He is warm and earthy and kind. He generally puts people at ease.
And as the talker of the duo, he tends to do most of the interacting with witnesses and victims. People are happy to invite Woods into their lives. With Lavender, things are a little more complicated.
Lavender is prone to disappearing into his mind and getting lost in his thoughts and ruminations. He has a tendency to put people off and to make them feel like he is disregarding them.
This is partially the reason why their partnership works. Woods might not be the smartest cookie in the jar but he has the tact necessary to get information out of people. Lavender's social skills are a little lacking but he knows how to put information together to form cogent conclusions.
While Lavender and Woods normally drive the mystery aspect of the Detective Lavender Mystery series, Dona Magdalena plays just as important a role. The Spanish woman is Lavender's love interest.
She is described as a spicy and feisty woman with demons in her past. She fled a conflict in Europe and currently lives in England as an immigrant.
The Detective Lavender Mystery series has been criticized for some of its inconsistencies. For instance, because Detective Lavender clearly has an aristocratic background, some fans do not believe that he would freely mix with so many characters that are clearly in a much lower social class.
Additionally, some of the language isn't as accurate as historically savvy readers would like. This isn't even taking into account all the aristocratic female characters that Karen Charlton creates who live very independent lives that see them running their own businesses and supporting entire families despite living in a society that would have greatly restricted them.
Karen Charlton often fields questions regarding the fact that her characters are living in the Regency period but they feel like they would be perfectly at home in the 21st Century.
Of course, there are those audiences that have lauded Karen for so thoroughly immersing them in the period of Regency England through the sights, sounds and smells she describes in her scenes.
Karen's biggest strength in the Detective Lavender Mystery series isn't the mysteries themselves but her ability to create and manage complex plots. More often than not, readers have said that they had the mysteries of the author's different books figured out by the half way mark. But that did not stop them from enjoying the process Lavender went through to come to the right conclusion.
+The Heiress of Linn Hagh
A beautiful woman goes missing at Linn Hagh. No one knows how she left her locked bedchamber. They do not even know whether she was kidnapped or simply escaped.
And as a notable heiress, her case is of such importance that Detective Lavender and Constable Woods are summoned to investigate. There are a lot of rumors swirling about the situation but no solid leads.
No one will talk to Lavender and Woods, not the servants and certainly not the heiress' siblings. There seems to be a feud simmering and the only way Detective Lavender can hope to put the case to rest is if he brings to light a series of family secrets.
+The Sans Pareil Mystery
April Clare was a promising young actress, so her passing is greatly felt at the Sans Pareil Theatre. And because her remains were found in suspicious circumstances, Detective Lavender and Constable Woods are summoned to investigate.
It doesn't take them long to learn that there's more going on than meets the eye. They must unravel the many mysteries they discover quickly as the Napoleonic War is looming across the channel. There's a lot of suspicion of treachery in the air

Books have historically been constrained by the limitations of print medium, and even digital books are usually just electronic replicas of bound volumes. Stanford University's Spatial History Project has partnered with developers at Open Sourcery to create an online augmentation to Richard White's latest publication, Railroaded, that provides an interactive medium for readers to access and explore the collection of over 2,000 footnotes, sources, visualizations, and downloadable data files.
This format holds the potential to give readers a way to access and manipulate the material in the footnotes and to give longer life to the book itself. The dynamic nature of the site will allow White and his team to continue to annotate footnote discourse and develop visualizations as analyses and insights evolve.
In addition to its direct benefit to Railroaded, we believe that this site represents a new genre of hybrid digital publishing and are excited to share this Drupal installation profile with the open source and scholarly communities, for free. By doing so we hope that other authors — of monographs, dissertations, theses, and of purely digital publications — can implement this unique infrastructure of modules to present their own scholarship.Click here to visit railroaded.stanford.edu.

IKEA Foundation - Portfolio Strategy Support
Climate Change is a pressing issue for all but especially for those with minimal resources and vulnerable to its effects. This is the group the IKEA Foundation focuses on through their projects and grants through their portfolio areas focusing on food/agri, energy, livelihoods and entrepreneurship. However, climate change, a confronting and fast approaching threat, was missing from these portfolios. This is why TheRockGroup supported IKEA Foundation in a review of their portfolios to incorporate Climate change into them. As a result Climate Action is now a 5th portfolio category under which the foundation is making a difference though their strategic projects and grants.
IKEA Foundation is has 4 different portfolios under which they fund projects and make grants to make a strategic difference in their impact areas. Recognizing climate change as an issue that needed addressing they asked TheRockGroup to help them review their current portfolio and strategy to find a way to integrate climate change into the portfolio and see how each portfolio can have an impact on climate change.

Our Work
TheRockGroup was asked to do a quick review of IKEA Foundations' current 4 portfolios with the aim of finding a way to incorporate climate change into their actions. Through a benchmark review of other foundations and granting agencies around the globe we made a recommendation to IKEA Foundation on how best to address climate change through their work. As a result a 5th portfolio was created focusing on Climate Action.

The working set of an application is trimmed when its top-level window is minimized
Article ID: 293215 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q293215
When an application's top-level window is minimized through the Minimize command from its System menu or a click on its Minimize button, the operating system will trim the working set for the process. This is done to free up RAM for foreground applications. As a result of this trimming, a process may experience significantly poorer performance because its memory pages are being faulted back into RAM.
If an application minimizes its top-level window programmatically by calling the ShowWindow() API with the SW_MINIMIZE command, the working set of the process will be trimmed. However, the working set will not be trimmed when the window is programmatically minimized through the use of ShowWindow() with the SW_SHOWMINIMIZED command.
The working set of a process is the set of memory pages currently visible to the process in physical RAM. Access to this memory is very fast because the pages are resident and available for an application to use without triggering a page fault.
A process can explicitly trim its own working set by calling the SetProcessWorkingSetSize() API while passing "-1" for both the dwMinimumWorkingSetSize and dwMaximumWorkingSetSize parameters. This is essentially how the system trims the process when its top-level window is minimized. This does not mean that the memory pages used by the process are immediately discarded from RAM. In fact, these pages may remain resident for quite a while. They are simply flagged so that the system can use them for other processes as necessary. This is significantly faster than waiting on the system's standard trimming algorithm.
When a window is minimized through the Minimize command from its System menu or the Minimize button, the window is sent a WM_SYSCOMMAND message with the SC_MINIMIZE command. If the window procedure passes this message on to the system's default window procedure by calling DefWindowProc(), the default procedure will handle the message by calling ShowWindow() with the SW_MINIMIZE command. As stated earlier, this will cause the process working set to be trimmed.
You can write an application that can be minimized without having its working set trimmed. To do this, the window procedure for the top-level window should intercept the WM_SYSCOMMAND message and respond to the SC_MINIMIZE command by calling ShowWindow() directly with the SW_SHOWMINIMIZED command. It should not pass the SC_MINIMIZE command on to DefWindowProc().
Sample CodeThe following code demonstrates how to write a window procedure that intercepts the WM_SYSCOMMAND message to bypass the default window procedure and prevent the process working set from being trimmed:

Образ судьи как риторическая категория и его отражение в решениях европейского суда по правам человека
The ancient rhetorical canon and the Russian rhetorical tradition, including pre-Soviet tradition of judicial rhetoric, considered 'orator/rhetor's character' as a central part of the ethical appeal, according to which the rhetor achieves the consent and adherence of the audience to his decisions when he possesses outstanding intellectual and moral characters. This is especially true when rhetors are persons who are vested with powers and authority, and thus can influence people due to their high position in the society. Judges inherently are influential rhetors, and they must be the epitome of the rhetorical ideal. The rhetorical character of a judge as a person of sound sense, high morals and benevolence found its reflection in the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. More frequently the ECtHR refers to 'judge's discretion'. As far as it poses restrictions on public presentations made by a judge and prevents him from commenting the on-going trial proceedings, the equality of the participants in the act of communication is secured by the imposing restrictions also on other participants of communicative exchange – journalists, lawyers and parties to a case, who should restrain from insulting words and unsubstantiated personal attacks on judges, as well as avoid putting pressure on judges through formation of public opinion about how a certain case must be resolved by the court. The analysis of the judge's image from the point of view of the rhetorical ideal, where the judge is included in the communicative act of decision-making, stresses the importance of the positive image of judges and judiciary for the legitimization of the judicial decisions and support of public confidence in judicial power. However, the judge's image of vir bonus – a respected, honest and discreet person - should be supported not by silencing the cases of judge's wrongful behavior, but by judge's support of his image of vir bonus by his high morals and good behavior both inside and outside the courtroom. A judge must be a man of high ethical standards, not just seem to be the epitome of the rhetorical ideal.

One foot equals 30.48 cm, to convert 1419.1 feet to cm we have to multiply the amount of feet by 30.48 to obtain the width, height or length in cm. 1419.1 feet is equal to 1419.1 feet x 30.48 = 43254.168 cm. The result is the following:
1419.1 feet = 43254.168 cm
A foot (symbol: ft) is a unit of length. It is equal to 0.3048 m, and used in the imperial system of units and United States customary units. The unit of foot derived from the human foot. It is subdivided into 12 inches.
The centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is also the base unit in the centimeter-gram-second system of units. The centimeter practical unit of length for many everyday measurements. A centimeter is equal to 0.01 (or 1E-2) meter.
To calculate a foot value to the corresponding value in centimeters, just multiply the quantity in feet by 30.48 (the conversion factor).
centimeters = feet * 30.48
The factor 30.48 is the result from the division 1 / 0.03281 (centimeter definition). Therefore, another way would be:
centimeters = feet / 0.03281
- How many centimeters are in 1419.1 feet?
- 1419.1 feet is equal to how many cm?
- How to convert 1419.1 feet to cm?
- What is 1419.1 feet in cm?

Lindsley Hollow is where the runoff from Bear Cub Pond flows down along Route 206. There are rock piles going straight up the hill, in a row, visible from the road.Going uphill, they can still be seen in some spots, even among ferns that are between knee and waist high.Following the row of rock piles, this ominous pile of rocks appears where the row of smaller piles terminates.Here is a close up of the largest rock pile at the base of the large mound of rocks. Notice the stone row at the far upper right corner of the photo (behind the Striped Maple).Using the large Red Maple with the low Y joint (to the left of the stone row) as a reference point, here is a close up of part of the stone row.In the photo above, just behind the stone row, is a small quarry. My suspicion is that the ominous mound was created by the quarry. However, this has left me with more questions than answers. What were they quarrying? If they were quarrying stone for barn foundations, why did they leave so much rock behind? Why do the row piles lead up to the quarry?
There are other rock piles around, not in the row and seemingly separate from the quarry, although nearby.Then the large stone with the piece of feather-and-wedge-split-granite (from the Near Bear Cub Pond post) is just north and downhill from the quarry. The granite, not being indigenous to the area, would not have come from the quarry. Any ideas on what might have gone on here would be welcome.

Can People with Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure Eat Eggplant
2013-09-18 10:31
Can People with Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Failure Eat EggplantCan people with stage 4 chronic kidney failure eat eggplant? Eggplant is one common food in our dinner. With correct condiment, eggplant can be made into one delicious course. Is this nourishing vegetable good for these patient? For different patients, the answer is different.
Who can eat eggplant?
If you have stage 4 chronic kidney failure but don't have any severe complication, eggplant is available and you can get many benefits from it. For example, hypertension is one big risk for people with kidney disease, because it can cause further kidney damage and aggravate patients' condition. Eggplant contains high vitamin E that can strengthen the anti-oxidant of cytomembrane and lower high blood pressure.
Who can not eat eggplant?
In stage 4, patients are more likely to suffer from various symptoms and discomforts, as only 15%-29% kidney function still does its job. As a result, more and more metabolic wastes and toxins build up in the body gradually. If you are one among them and have the following symptoms, eggplant may be something you need to stay away from or at least limit.
1. High potassium level: When kidney function loses too much, excess potassium can't be eliminated from the body successfully, resulting in high potassium level. In this condition, muscle and nerve problems, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or even dizziness appears. As introduced by dietitian, nearly 100g of eggplant contains about 230mg of potassium, so people with elevated potassium level should limit the intake of eggplant.
2. Diarrhea: According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), eggplant belongs to cold and cool food, so it is not suitable for people with dirrahea, dyspepsia and some other digestive systems.
From the above analysis, we can know whether patients with stage 4 chronic kidney failure can eat eggplant depends on patients' illness condition. To be responsible for you, we need to know more about your condition and then give you an answer in detail.
