Cape Honey Flower
Scientific name: Melianthus major
About Cape Honey Flower
What does Cape Honey Flower look like?
You can't miss the Cape Honey Flower when it's growing in your yard. This smelly shrub grows up to 2+ m, with large frond-like leaves (50-10 cm long) that are covered in grey fuzz, especially underneath. The leaves are divided into 11-21 distinctive folded leaflets that are 8-15 cm long, edged with 1cm serrated teeth. The stems are stout, rough, soft-wooded and hollow leading down to a suckering root system. It flowers from July to April with tall, erect flower stalks that are 40-80 cm tall with dark reddish-brown flowers (2cm long). The flowers smell foul and produce large amounts of nectar. After flowering, inflated, papery and sharply angled seed capsules (2-5 cm long) reveal themselves, each containing long, shiny black seeds (5-6 mm long).
How does it spread?
These monsters grow well in drained soils of any quality, tolerate wind, salt, hot and cold temperatures, and damp or drought conditions, and is partly shade-tolerant. They can be found in sand dunes, sheltered coastal and steep areas, estuaries, inshore islands, disturbed lowland forest margins, shrubland, and fernland. Their suckering roots can spread in dumped vegetation, so don't be surprised to find them in gardens and waste places.
Cape Honey Flower seeds are long living and they form dense, spreading stands via suckering roots. These seed capsules are water-borne (sea or fresh), and to a lesser extent, wind-borne. When they take root, they will smother low-growing coastal species, form large stands and destroy habitats, and lead to invasion by weedy vines. Native birds may also be affected by its nectar.
How do I get rid of it?
Small plants need to be dug out and disosed at a refuse transfer station, or burned.
Big plants need to be cut down and stumps painted with metsulfuron-methyl 600g/kg (5g/L) or Tordon Brushkiller (200mL/L). Follow-up continuously on the suckering roots. In the spring, large sites need to be sprayed with metsulfuron-methyl 600g/kg (5g/10L) or Tordon Brushkiller (25mL/10L) plus penetrant. Check regularly for root regrowth in order to be sure to be rid of this pesky weed.
What can I plant instead?
We recommmend planting some Harakeke (Phormium tenax) or the Huruhuru Whenua (Asplenium oblongifolium). What other native plant would you recommend?

fixed over time, despite diverse technological, economic, and ideological currents shaping slavery in different eras.
Slavery received an enormous amount of attention among historians working during the late twentieth century, and every year historians continue to uncover more information about slavery. But the law professoriate has yet to examine the laws of slavery with adequate detail. With a few notable exceptions—I'm thinking in particular of Paul Finkelman and Ariela Gross—law professors have yet to properly examine slavery and all of its ramifications for the law. In light of Eugene Genovese's magnificent Roll, Jordan, Roll (New York: Pantheon Books, 1974), which is now quite old but which remains relevant and important to any understanding of slave laws in America, the lack of attention to slave law among legal academics is striking and even worrisome. Why have legal academics fallen behind in this critical area, and what are they doing to make up for this lacuna in legal scholarship?

LEM, a validated cartoon character that expresses 8 emotions
Why work with a cartoon character?
The LEMtool has been developed to depict emotions in the clearest, most recognizable way. In order to achieve this, LEM – a cartoon character, has been developed that shows eight caricatured expressions of emotions3. Facial caricaturing (reduction of facial information redundant to the expression and exaggeration of the essential components) has been found to enhance the recognizability of emotions.
Why not add the words to explain the expression?
We deliberately do not explain which emotions are expressed by the character. This 'non-verbal approach' actually adds reliability to the tests. Often, people are feeling similar emotions, but refer to it with different words. With our scientifically validated cartoon characters you surpass the verbal word-significance discussion.
A great benefit of this approach is that it can be used cross-culturally: Between cultures, there are tons of small differences between words that are used to express emotions.
We might feel the same emotion, but call it differently
- How the LEMtool avoids the verbal word-significance discussion
Our research shows that even though different people use different words to express a specific emotion, they choose the same cartoon character expression because it best represents their felt emotion. This illustrates that these people are actually feeling the same, but merely call it differently.

Overview and Objectives
Critical World is a virtual research laboratory that explores the relationship between popular culture and globalization. As a web-based experiment in project-oriented teaching and research, Critical World provides resources for critical engagement with the products of global popular culture and creates a space for debate about the role of globalization in our everyday lives.
Critical World has three objectives:
- Encourage critical engagement with the products of global popular culture
- Increase our knowledge about the way that globalization functions in everyday life
- Improve access to research and teaching materials on popular culture and globalization
The multi-media modules presented in Critical World are organized around three distinct but related principles: non-linearity (the idea that web-based learning does not necessarily follow the linear reading path pre-determined by the structure of the written text), intermediality (the way that different media interact with each other to suggest novel meanings), and free association (the practice of spontaneously associating thoughts, feelings, and words without recourse to logic).
Critical World includes the participation of professors, researchers, students and artists from various cultural backgrounds and disciplinary perspectives and is based in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Montreal. Critical World has been online since September 2004 and received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

New apartment designs for a new era
We're living in a whole new world, and your next multifamily project must follow the new rules of living. People are living, working, and schooling in their homes with the need to keep spaces sanitized, separate, and convenient for living healthy and well.
Multifamily designs for the new normal
The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing us to find safer and smarter ways of building homes. The demand for high-quality housing is continuing to rise and BASE4 is here to help.
Here's what you can do:
- Add desk areas. Everyone is working at home, so you need separate work/study areas with ample plug-ins for everyone's devices.
- Increase storage. It is essential to expand the storage area for holding food, goods and cleaning supplies that will be needed during self-quarantine periods.
- Add outdoor spaces. Create an ample patio and outdoor areas for nature breaks.
- Use simple-to-sanitize materials in the apartment for that easy clean.
- Sanitize the air. Consider using HVAC systems that slow the spread of viruses and germs.
- Separate apartment entrances. Design individual entryways instead of common lobbies.
Must-Have Design Updates for Common Areas
Keep your multi-family building safe from contaminants in common areas, such as laundry, trash/recycling, and bike storage rooms. Here's how:
- Install touch-free door openers.
- Add a sink for handwashing by entryway doors.
- Replace trash, recycling bins, and other communal items with equipment that is made of easy-to-clean materials.
- Limit occupants based on the square footage and social distancing guidelines.
- Perform regular cleanings.
- Disinfect equipment such as washers, dryers, and bike pumps frequently.
- Require the use of masks.
- Provide hand sanitizing stations and cleaning supplies.
Make home a safe space for living, working, and schooling.

Gram Font is place helping to generate text fonts into cute and special fonts as you like. Then, you can use it to change your instagram bio. It will make your instagram more unique. You can write some text into the blank box and our site will automatically change your text into many different font types.
The site runs by creating a type of different styles using a range of different Unicode characters. Generating Instagram-compatible Unocode glyphs. Read more information about Unicode below.
Computers save all data in binary format. It means that it includes zezos and ones. Therefore, all of letters you are reading now are stored on my serves as a series of zeros and ones. The way from our server to your browsers run exactly when the browsers can understand what zeros and ones are refering to. Since 1980s with the formation of Unicode, Unicode is known as international standards body. Before Unicode system, people used other way to store and render text. That's the reason why programmers need to build "translator" for different programs. Then, they could understand which codes reffered to which textual characters.
In beginning, people don't like to change their system to follow this new sec. Meet the need of customers, Unicode has releaseda bunch of different symbol supporting legacy system. Emojis are also text symbol, and so the new emojis are coming out of the Unicode group. So that's how we ended up with large and fun arrays of symbols. We've put together a bunch of fonts for instagram which is interesting and coool for your bio. I'm sure that you will love "mix and match" certain parts from different fonts.
Text font for text symbols
ACSII characters are the first 128 symbols of Unicode, and they are the thing you reading right now. However, there are far more than 128 symbols in Unicode, and the fact that there are quite a few symbols that loook a bit like regular alphabets (e.g that looks like English take), "pseudo alphabet" is created which resemble normal ACSII text, but which have certain differences including bing bolder, italic, or even upside down!
The alphabet are not perfect – they're basically "Unicode hacks" which take benefits of various symbols from different set of all throughout the 100k+ symbols in standard.
The term "font" actually refers to a set of graphics that correspond to some on all of the Unicode glyphs. You probably heard of "Comic Sans" and "Arial" – these are fonts. What you are copying and pasting above are actually symbols that exists in every font. So the cursive text and other fancy letters that you notice above are sperate characters, just like "a" and "b" are separate characters.
Copy and paste
Why do you need to care that they are separate characters?
Because if they weren't ( e.g It's just normal fonts, then you wouldn't copy and paste them. Some comic Sans are hard to be added in bio because they are just normal ACSII symbols and the fact is that they are displayed in an one font on their website that doesn't mean it can be displayed in other font, other site. It belongs to the web owner's font setting.
However, if you just find a set of Unicodes which look like a specific font, or has some style sbout bold, italic,..etc. then we can simulate the font.
You can see that you can't use some fonts on insta. The reason is that insta filters out some of the fancy letters and symbols to stop people to abus certain Unicodes stuff like the excessive diacritics used in the "glitch text" font that you'll see in the list.

The Artists, Writers, and Musicians
George Catlin
Inducted in 2001
Catlin was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and he initially studied law, but later abandoned it for painting. Though he had virtually no formal training, his skill as a portrait artist was evident.
Catlin decided to dedicate his life to portraying American Indians, what he called the "vanishing race," after he saw a group of visiting chieftains at the Charles Wilson Peale Museum of Natural History in Philadelphia in the 1820s. Catlin later wrote, "In silent and stoic dignity, these lords of the forest strutted about the city for a few days, wrapped in their painted robes, with their brows plumed with the quills of the war eagle, attracting the gaze of all who beheld them." And so Catlin was inspired to paint and record the lifestyles of this race of people "rapidly passing away from the face of the earth." By 1840, he had visited 48 different tribes, painted 310 portraits, and 200 other paintings.
Catlin, in 1832, was the first artist to paint the Missouri River as far as Fort Union at the junction of the Yellowstone and the Missouri. His paintings of the Missouri were often great panorama views that included Indian and animal life along the river. With his famous Indian Gallery, he also put the Missouri River and its vast surroundings on view for the first time in England and France where many people had never seen a steamboat or keelboat.

Item: Measurement of dynamic waterentry value for dry snow
Title: Measurement of dynamic waterentry value for dry snow
Proceedings: International Snow Science Workshop, Davos 2009, Proceedings

Abstract: In soil physics, many people have discussed about mechanisms of developing preferential flow based on porous media hydraulics. In snow science, there are few studies on the preferential flow though the preferential flow governs a part of runoff process in a snowpack. Dry sand has a waterentry value which is a threshold value of the capillary pressure to start infiltration into dry sand. Water cannot infiltrate in the situation that the capillary pressure at the wetting front is less than the waterentry value. The preferential flow is developed in the upwardnegative gradient of the capillary pressure behind the wetting front, which is appeared in the case that the waterentry value is larger than the capillary pressure along the upper moving path of the wetting front. It is thought that the phenomena on the preferential flow in the sand are almost same as these in the snow and the waterentry value of the homogeneous dry snow layer is important to study the preferential flow in the snowpack. In this study, the waterentry values were obtained by measuring the capillary pressure at the wetting front penetrating into the underlying dry snow. The capillary pressure was measured with the high response tensiometers. The measured waterentry values were greater than the airentry value according to the water retention curve for drying process. The waterentry value with large diameter is larger than one with small. The some paths of the preferential flow were observed in these experiments. On the other hand, the waterentry value was not observed and the preferential flow was not observed in the experiment which used the smaller diameters of snow particles.
Keywords: preferential flow, waterentry value, homogeneous dry snow

The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) exists to record objects found by members of the public and enter them onto an online database. Since it began in 1997, PAS has recorded over 750,000 objects of all periods of history from Palaeolithic flints to eighteenth-century coins and has become an important source of new archaeological data to be used by students and academics in their research. Initially based on a small group of pilot regions, recording was extended to cover the whole of England and Wales in 2003, at which point Oxfordshire became a part of the Scheme with the employment of a local Finds Liaison Officer (FLO) in the county. Alongside recording ordinary objects, PAS also deals with objects which come under remits of the Treasure Act 1996, which include gold and silver artefacts and coin hoards.
The Ashmolean has been officially involved with the PAS since 2004 when the Scheme's 'National Finds Advisor for Medieval and Post-medieval Coinage' became a part of our Heberden Coin Room. A further strengthening of the ties between the Ashmolean and PAS came with the re-opening of the museum in 2009 when the Coin Room and Department of Antiquities started a monthly 'identification service' for artefacts and coinage, at which the Oxfordshire FLO also attends. Through this service, PAS has recorded hundreds of objects, many of which would probably not have come to PAS's attention in any other way. The importance of PAS and local finds to the Ashmolean can be seen in the displays of local material around the museum, especially the 'England _PHONE_' and 'Money' galleries, the latter housing a set of drawers including a range of finds made by a local metal-detectorist.

continued population growth, changes in land use, and climate variability are significantly impacting the sustainability of groundwater resources in this region. In addition, contamination from a variety of sources is further stressing groundwater sustainability. We are collaborating with policy and social-science experts to characterize the impact of groundwater contamination on water resources sustainability. A current focus involves characterizing contaminant distributions and aquifer vulnerability for watersheds in the US-Mexico border region.
An important part of the research process is ensuring that stakeholders are aware of, and have access to,

Our friends from Fundacja Artystyczna PERFORM send us this self-care, reflection and community participation toolkit created thanks to the ideas and contributions of all the projects participating in CORE.
The CORE project has been created from the need to reflect on the role of individuals in modern society and the desire for new tools to build compassionate and empathetic communities, in which the needs of individuals are in harmony with the needs of larger groups. The project is designed as a self-exploration process that leads to understanding a broader context of our responsibility towards others. During the 9-day training course, 30 young workers from 10 European countries will investigate themselves in a group context and build awareness of their emotions, values and needs, in order to develop a sense of civic responsibility. We will adopt the perspective of the community, feel the power of unity and unlock the creative potential to generate commitment, empathy and responsibility in each individual.

Crystalline Glaze Chemistry Several have inquired about this specialty glaze in recent months, so I thought I would post an introduction into crystalline chemistry. The very first thing to do with this glaze is: throw out your glaze calculator and UMF spreadsheet: they do not apply to this glaze nor can you bring it into unity. Basic cone 6 through 10 crystalline recipe is: 50% ferro frit 3110, 25% zinc oxide, 25% silica 325m, and a seeding agent (see later). ^ Lithium carbonate flux additions discussed later. This is the basic crystalline glaze recipe, regardless of what cone you are firing to. However, crystalline glaze requires high fluidity of the glaze, so a high cone five is the minimum temperature level. It can be fired under five, but it takes a fair deal of chemistry to achieve it; so perhaps later it will be discussed. The reason you see so much variation in this basic recipe is because so many variables effect its outcome. Most of the variations are artistic preferences being inserted to control crystal size, population, and growth patterns. Likewise, the wide variance in firing ramp holds are due to kiln size, crystal development, peak cone temperature, and in many cases because the kilns were never calibrated by using cone packs or pyrometers to adjust thermocouple readings. An example: a ramp hold is stated as 2002F, but that same temperature could be 1992 or 2018F in your kiln. Frit 3110 is the standard and most reliable frit used in the crystalline recipe. There are frits used such as Fusion Frit 644, and others. If Ferro Frit 3110 is not available in your region, then use the chemical analysis of 3110 as a guide to compare available frits. Match the chemistry of your available frit as closely as possible to the chemistry of frit 3110. 50% of the basic recipe is frit, it alone makes up the glassy matrix of the glaze. Although silica is being added to this recipe, that silica addition serves a specific function other than being a glass former. Yes, the silica will add to the glass content, yet it is being added for feedstock for crystals to form. Frit is ground up glass that has already been melted at high temperatures; so the chemistry required to form glass in a glaze is not a consideration. Crystalline glaze requires a thick application of glaze, and crystals require a thick layer of molten glass to grow in. So lowering the frit level in this basic recipe also means you are restricting the glass level in which they grow. You rarely see the level of frit deviate from this basic recipe, and when it is adjusted: those adjustments are minimal. Crystalline glaze or crystals are chemically known as zinc-silicate crystals. Crystals form an ionic bond between zinc and silica: which is why equal parts of each comprise the basic recipe. Yes zinc adds opacity to the glaze and silica is a glass former: but neither addition is present in the recipe for those reasons. Zinc and silica are added and adjusted to form crystals, the additional glass formed or opacity added are secondary reactions. So the adjustments you see in various recipes are to manipulate crystal growth and population, and secondary â€œglaze chemistryâ€ is not a consideration.

because it has infinite linearly dependent elements? is that right?
You need to be more formal. If (continous functions) were to be a finite dimensionsal vector space then every subspace would be finite dimensional also, with a smaller degree (this is a theorem). But then (polynomials functions) would be finite dimensional. But that is impossible. Why?
because P is a subspace of C and P is infinite so C has to also be infinite dimensional? Thanks by the way
Again, why is P[0,1] infinite? You need to be more formal. Here is how you show it cannot have a finite basis. Suppose that P[0,1] has a finite basis where are polynomials. Then it would mean any polynomial in P[0,1] can be expressed in the form. Let be a polynomial with a larger degree then all of the polynomials. Then is impossible because polynomials can only be equal if their have the same coefficients and the same degree, but it is impossible since the degree of f(x) exceedes the RHS.

4-H Mentoring - Utah County
What is 4-H Mentoring?
4-H Mentoring of Utah County is a program which began in 2001 and is designed for youth, ages 9-15, and their families. Youth are matched with young adult mentors, who establish caring relationships with identified youth. All mentors are screened before being matched (interview, reference and background check). This program allows youth to develop their interpersonal and academic skills by participating in structured recreation, community service, and community youth groups.
We are committed to providing an environment which fosters belonging, independence, generosity and mastery (BIG M) among mentors, youth, and families. The four essential elements of positive youth development.
Mentors are a major part of their mentee's life. They provide stability and a caring relationship for their mentees. They provide their kids with something to be excited about and someone who is always looking out for their well being.
- Meet four times each month with their mentor (one meeting each month is sponsored by 4-H)
- Attend weekly 4-H Afterschool Mentoring club
- Attend monthly Family Night Out programs together with their family*
To enroll a youth, sign up here:
Additional information about enrollment for youth and families:
- Be a mentor to a child in Utah County
- Be a guide, advocate, friend and role model
- Help your mentee feel a sense of belonging, develop independence, understand the importance of generosity, and master new skills
- Introduce your mentee to new and different environments
- Meet and socialize monthly with the other mentors at the monthly provided activity for you and your mentee
- Give an hour of time each week for one full year
- Make a year commitment to mentor a youth
- Meet 4 times per month (usually once each week) with the youth you mentor
What youth need most is a caring adult who peacefully resolves conflicts and communicates in a healthy way. They need someone to trust and who trusts them.
Find mentoring resources, here:
For any questions, please contact:
*4-H Mentoring families are expected to attend 50% (6 per year) of the Family Night Out activities. These are typically held on Monday
evening or on Saturday.
**To become a mentor, you need to be at least 18 years of age and have a vehicle. You will need to be formally interviewed at a time which
fits your schedule. You will be required to complete a background check (simply for the safety of the youth) and attend some training prior to
being matched with a child. Once the required paperwork has been completed, the process of matching you with a child will begin.

Rebecca McMahon, a Kansas State University Research and Extension Horticulture Agent for Sedgwick County, Kansas, demonstrates a slightly different method of setting up cattle panels to serve as vertical growing platforms than the method I described in my post about building a cattle panel arch.
The method she uses is to first cut the panel in half, and then tie the two pieces together at the top with metal hog rings. At the base the pieces are spread out to make an A-frame structure which fits into the raised beds used as shown in the video below. My arch trellis was placed directly on the ground as was secured by t-posts.
A DIY Tutorial: Repurposing an Old Cattle Panel
An easy DIY (do-it-yourself) vertical gardening project is the creation of an arch by bending a cattle panel into the arch shape, pounding four t-posts into the ground a little over one foot and securing the panel on both sides where each side touches the ground to these t-posts with post clips or wire.
Although you can cut up galvanized, welded cattle panels to form individual tomato cages, it is much easier to forego any cutting and simply place two 16′ panels side-by-side 18″-30″ apart to support multiple tomato plants. It's easy, it's strong, it can last for years and it takes maybe half an hour to set up. In my case, since I had some old damaged panels lying around that were once part of a horse enclosure, and a number of t-posts I got for free, this was essentially a no-cost project.
This text and picture version offers a little more information, but if you prefer a video presentation of this tutorial, you can find it at YouTube Cattle Panel Tutorial.
Over the years, gardeners have put empty plastic soda and water bottles to various uses in their gardens, but a group of urban gardening aficionados employed the collaborative open source concept of software development so prevalent on today's web to create and enhance a growing system they named the WindowFarms Project. WindowFarms are sized to fit in front of the typical household window in an urban setting. The philosophy is this : if you have a window, you can grow your own food and create your own personal "green revolution". The process was given the name R&D-I-Y, or Research & Develop It Yourself.
How It Works
The founders of Windowfarms came up with the DIY plans to tie together several plastic bottles in a vertical column fed by a drip of nutrient solution cascading down through each successive bottle to a reservoir (a larger bottle) at the bottom, which is then pumped back up to the topmost bottle using an inexpensive aquarium air pump. Basically, it's the Poor Man's Hydroponics. Below, Mayra Cimet's how-to video illustrates the construction of a version 2 Windowfarm:
Story continues with an additional video and photos…
Perhaps you have some old tires lying around waiting for the day when you find the time to dispose of them at the local dump or recycling center. Water that collects inside the tires also becomes prime breeding grounds for that irksome cloud of hungry mosquitos that always seems to appear the minute you decide to enjoy some time in your yard or garden. Not to mention that trying to get that water out of the tire well is often an exercise in futility despite your best efforts at tire flipping, throwing and bouncing (Maybe they should make this an Olympic sport).
Unless you have a pickup truck or trailer, attempting to transport the tires may necessitate a secondary trip to the local auto detailer shop to get rid of the dirt, grime and muck that will likely find its way to your car's seats or the carpet of its trunk. Not to mention any hitchhikers that you may pick up in the process, maybe a Black Widow spider or a lizard or two. To add insult to injury, you'll probably have to spend $2 – $5 apiece to dispose of these tires. But is there another solution?
Most people who haven't sent time on the farm or ranch are most likely unfamiliar with a very useful item, the standard 50″ by 16′ cattle panel, which can be purchased from farm and ranch supply companies such as Tractor Supply for approximately $25. These panels and a few t-posts allow the setting up of a temporary or permanent fence of a substantial size in very little time.
But in the vertical gardening milieu these stout, welded livestock panels can be put to other uses as well. A cattle panel can be used as a 16′ trellis, or cut in half to form two 8′ trellises, or set up as intended like a fence, but used as a 4′ high trellis 16′ long. Their flexibility allows bending the panel with both ends anchored on the ground forming an arch on which plants can grow or containers hung.
You can cut the panels using bolt cutters, a reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade or an angle grinder with a metal cutting or diamond blade. You can cut a panel in half and use the two halves to construct an a-frame which climbing plants can readily grow up. Cut one into 8 two-foot sections, and you can assemble them into two tomato cages, or use two panels side-by-side about 30″ apart with tomato plants growing between the two.
Another use of the cattle panel is the construction of a greenhouse. Several panels are bent to form arches joined together in 50″ lengths until your greenhouse has the dimensions required. The ends are secured to a wooden plate or beam, or tied to pieces of galvanized pipe or rebar pounded into the ground, and some have even created a more elaborate setup with cinder blocks and concrete forming the base. Plastic sheeting is then draped over this framework and secured to the frame using any one of a variety of ties, clasps or screws.


The percentage of English-language learners passing reading and math tests in the 2003-04 school year trailed progress goals in nearly two-thirds of the 48 states that submitted data, according to a study released Wednesday by the federal Government Accountability Office. Some Arizona districts have used longer math instruction, retention and a consistent curriculum to help ELL students post higher scores on the state exam.

South Africa's ruling party, the African national Congress (ANC), is calling for the fast tracking of the project to introduce history as a compulsory school subject in the country, arguing that the proposition will contribute to "building a sense of nationalism, patriotism and national unity."
This comes after the department of basic education released findings of a report on making history a compulsory subject in all South African schools.
"Whilst acknowledging efforts by the Department as well as the Ministerial Task Team to date, we urge them to fast track all avenues of implementation including consultations with the Department of Higher Education and Training, Teacher Unions and other relevant stakeholders."
Here follows the full ANC statement:
The ANC Study Group on Basic Education notes and welcomes the findings of the Basic Education Ministerial Task Team on making History a compulsory subject in South African schools. The report, as presented in Parliament today, reflects the processes taken by the Ministerial Task Team as well as its findings and recommendations with regards to History as a compulsory school subject.
In supporting the recommendation that History be introduced as a compulsory school subject, we recognise the possible challenges that can be faced, especially relating to funding the restructuring of the curriculum, training of teachers as well as the writing, quality assurance and printing of textbooks.
Whilst acknowledging efforts by the Department as well as the Ministerial Task Team to date, we urge them to fast track all avenues of implementation including consultations with the Department of Higher Education and Training, Teacher Unions and other relevant stakeholders.
History as a compulsory subject in our schools is long overdue. It plays a pivotal role in building a sense of nationalism, patriotism and national unity. It also enables South African citizens to learn and understand the struggles that were faced by many in order for this country to gain democracy. History as a school subject must tackle social inequality, speak to issues of social cohesion, national and African identity. It must contribute to our project of decolonising our school curriculum. As a school subject, it will increase the analytical and cognitive thinking of learners which will build learners in a holistic manner.
In understanding that project is work in progress, we look forward to the finalisation of this process to ensure that all our learners are equipped with the necessary knowledge to appreciate the importance of History as a school subject.
Issued by the Chairperson of the ANC Study Group on Basic Education, comrade Nomalungelo Gina.

How To Use Aggregate Function In R?
How do you use the Summarize function in R?
The combination of group_by and summarize is frequently done in R using the pipe operator. The pipe operator redirects the output of one function as the input of the next.
Mastering summarize and group_by
 - starwars %>%
 - group_by(species) %>%
 - summarize(avg= mean(height,na. rm=TRUE))
How does Group_by work in R?
Group by one or more variables
Most data operations are done on groups defined by variables. group_by() takes an existing tbl and converts it into a grouped tbl where operations are performed "by group". ungroup() removes grouping.
How do I aggregate data?
What is N () in R?
n=n() means that a variable named n will be assigned the number of rows (think number of observations) in the summarized data. the %>% is read as "and then" and is way of listing your functions sequentially rather then nesting them.

Is my honey safe to eat?
Is it safe to eat honey from a hive with mites?

Is the honey from a dead hive safe to eat?

Stinky honey
"Help! My bees need a bath!"
"My honey stinks."
"There's a foul smell coming from my hive entrance."
"I have reeky bees."
"My bees are collecting rancid nectar."
"My hive smells like my husband's gym locker."
Every autumn a large number of beekeepers report stinky honey. The source of the smell is nectar, most probably from plants in the aster family, including goldenrod and small daisy-like flowers that grow in clusters.
When your bees start to dry this nectar into honey the smell can be overwhelming and somewhat startling. It's just not the odor you expect from your sweet bees.
Although goldenrod, dandelion, and aster honeys are often not favorites, they aren't terrible, and they taste nothing like the odor they give off. Nevertheless, many beekeepers prefer to let the bees keep the aster honey for themselves.
This actually works quite well since asters are largely fall-flowing plants. Beekeepers can harvest in early fall and then let the bees keep the fall honey for overwintering.
Some beekeepers fear AFB when they smell aster nectar, but the odors are quite different. Aster nectar has been described as musty, musky, funky, rank, moldy, sour, and rancid. AFB has more of a dead animal smell... think rotting meat or fly-riddled carcass on the side of the road.
If you are uncertain, look at your capped brood. If your brood is healthy-looking you are probably smelling aster honey. If you see shrunken brood caps, discoloration, holes in the caps, and the brood frames smell like death, then you need to test for AFB.

How long does it take bees to change sugar syrup to honey?
A really, really long time. In fact, it ain't gonna happen. Not ever. Sugar syrup is made from table sugar, sucrose, which is a disaccharide of fructose and glucose. Honey is made from the nectar of flowers. Bees are clever, but not clever enough to make honey from plain old sucrose.
Honey has many things in it—all derived from the plants which produced the nectar. These components include other sugars as well as trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants, and flavorful compounds. It is all these optional extras that give honey its flavor, aroma, and color.
Bees will collect sugar syrup, dehydrate it, and store it as if it were nectar. What they end up with, however, is dehydrated and capped sugar syrup—not honey.


In places like Nova Scotia's fishing communities, a forerunner was historically considered an omen for the future. In this collection, I consider how a forerunner also refers to the people or things that came before: my family's history in Maritime culture and tradition. Throughout my career I have sought to express my identity as a Maritime artist through bringing my sense of 'home' into my work, showing unexpected beauty in the reinterpretation of forms found in my surroundings.
The pieces in Forerunner turn this gaze back on my family's place in this landscape, and our connections to fishing, farming, logging and hunting. It is a collection where these divergent themes emerge in pieces that feature ordinary applied materials and atypical colour, juxtaposed with rich textures and shapes. Rugged, with an understated beauty, each composition has a distinct and playful narrative that speaks to the gift and bounty of the land and sea.

Building a catapult is perhaps one of the most rewarding things that a hobbyist can ever create. The good thing is that it does not have to be expensive. It only takes a few pieces of wood and some rope and you're done! Sounds easy doesn't it?So how to build a catapult that works well?
Of course when you are building a toy catapult then everything is fine but if you are building a large one that can actually hurl a couple of pounds upwards needs more solid and sturdier parts.
Building full size catapults require industrial grade cords and building woods that are specially treated not against wear and tear but against insect infestation.
But going back to how to build a simple catapult, working on a desktop or toy catapult require basic equipment like a few strips of wood for the arm, a heavy base where the catapult can be rooted, and some rope or twine (works best) and a few nails.
The first part is to create the arm which can hold the "bowl" or payload, then the swivel mechanism to hold the arm and let it flex back and forth. Once you have joined the two, then you can attach it to the base via glue or nails – whichever is stronger. All that's left is to pull the arm back, load it and release.
The flexibility of the wood arm gives the spring power. In case the soft wood is unavailable, you can use any household spring – you determine the softness or hardness of it, and use that as the power for the arm. Lets move further on the topic of how to build a catapult.
Many people have used clothes pins as their power arm and some even use automotive springs to create a stronger throw. But one thing you have to remember is that when you upgrade one part of the catapult, the rest have to match as well. It's like putting a strong engine in a car that has sub standard parts. The car won't run well. Same goes for any catapult. If the spring is too strong, it might rip the catapult from its base. So in this case the base has to be more secure or heavier.
Hobbyists sometimes argue on using more metal than wood in their design. That is fine but if you consider the way they catapults were made before, then it would be 95 percent wood and perhaps 5 percent nuts and bolts assembly. What held the machine together was rope and more rope.
So if you are building one and you want to go back to using a traditional feel, then the best is to go wood and rope. If you want to make it last longer and perhaps carry a bigger payload, then more metal is really needed.
The more you know about hot build a simple catapult, the more you might want to use and create more versions like the Trebuchet or Onager. These versions need more practice and more sturdy parts for they really strain each parts with force. You can learn many things other than how to build a catapult for you also learn to build on human friendships.
Certain principles of geometry and physics can inspire learners to know how to build a catapult. The Â· strength of catapult structure will depend on the angles made through the sticks or materials to stand as the frame. Right angles or 90 degree angles make a stronger foundation than any other angle. The accuracy of the shot will depend on the position of the material to be projected, while the speed that the projected material take on the air will depend on the distance of the catapult from the target, the weight of the projectile material, and the angle at which the material takes off. If one wants to know how to make a catapult, he or she should remember that all parts, including the projectile, should be proportional to the size of the torsion springs or the elasticity of the rubber band.
Knowing how to build a catapult begins with deciding on the size of the catapult. Popsicle sticks make a good frame material for catapults that will be used by children. Masking tape or strings can hold these sticks together. Pieces of wood and a few screws or nails will be needed if one wants a catapult that measures more than a foot in length and width. The sticks or the wood should have the same length. Two or more rubber bands or any elastic material can be used for the arm of a small catapult. A coiled wire or torsion spring should be used for large catapults. Lastly, a lot of patience is needed while building the catapult. A popsicle stick catapult may take 30 minutes to complete but a larger catapult will demand a couple of hours.
One could know how to build a catapult frame with a little knowledge of right angles or perfect triangles. The base or frame of the catapult can be a square or triangular-shaped platform. One can easily make a square or even a rectangular base with right angles. Form a 90 degree angle by putting the ends of two sticks together. Secure the sticks together with tape. Wood and other materials can be secured with nails or screws. Make another 90 degree angle with two other sticks or wood, and then put the two 90 degree angles to face each other. Secure the two newly formed 90 degree angles in order to complete the square. Four 90 degree angles should have been formed now.
On the other hand, a perfect triangle or an equilateral triangle base can be formed by putting the ends of three sticks or wood together. Sticks or wood of exactly the same length will easily form three 60 degree angles. Secure the materials together.
One knows how to make a catapult of strong firing capability when careful attention is given in making the catapult arm. Two sticks or wood are needed for the arm. Bore a hole on one end of each stick. Secure the stick ends together by inserting a wire through the holes. A hingle can be used for large catapults. Connect the catapult arm to the base through tape or nails. The remaining task now is to set up the springs. For a stick catapult, secure one end of the rubber band on the free end of the arm and the other end of the rubber band to the stick that is standing at right angles to the base. Secure another rubber band to the free end of the arm and then secure it loosely to the base. The rubber bands will make the arm lie at a 45 degree angle. For large catapults, the spring coils should be secured on both sides of the arm base. One would be successful at knowing how to make a catapult when the projectile material on the free end of the arm shoots up in the air.

What is Fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X?
Fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X, also known as optical brightener CBS-X, is a highly effective whitening agent widely used in the manufacturing of laundry detergent products. Its brilliant blue-violet shade provides an enhanced level of whiteness and brightness to fabrics, making them appear cleaner and brighter. CBS-X is particularly effective in brightening white fabrics which have yellowed over time due to exposure to sunlight or repeated washing.
CBS-X is an anionic compound and works by interacting with ultraviolet light.
The fluorescent properties of CBS-X work to absorb ultraviolet light and reflect back blue-violet light, which gives textiles a brighter appearance. The increased whiteness of fabrics is particularly effective in hiding stains and soil that may remain after washing.
Laundry detergents that contain CBS-X are typically marketed as "whitening" or "brightening" detergents. The concentration of CBS-X in the detergent is closely monitored by manufacturers to ensure that the optimum amount is used to achieve maximum whiteness without causing any damage to the fabric.
The use of CBS-X in laundry detergents is highly regulated by global and national authorities. These regulations ensure that CBS-X is safe for human health and the environment. Regulatory bodies, such as the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), enforce strict regulations on the use, manufacture, and disposal of CBS-X.
Well, let's take the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X purchased by the washing powder/liquid factory as an example to analyze and explain in detail.
First of all, when the washing powder factory purchases the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X, it needs to pay attention to confirm the recommended concentration with the supplier. Generally speaking, the recommended concentration of fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X in laundry detergent is usually between 0.05% and 0.1%, and the specific concentration can be adjusted according to product requirements and user needs.
After adding fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X, laundry detergent products can significantly improve the brightness and cleanliness of white fabrics. The luminescent effect of fluorescent whitening agents can cover up yellow or gray stains on fabrics, making white clothes look clearer and brighter. This not only enhances the cleaning ability of laundry detergent products, but also allows users to feel bright and clean when wearing white clothes.
In addition, the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X also has good stability and compatibility, can be compatible with detergents and other additives, and will not negatively affect other properties of laundry detergent. This allows detergent powder factories to easily combine the optical brightener CBS-X with other ingredients during the production process to create stable laundry detergent products.
The advantages of fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X are not only reflected in improving the brightness of white fabrics, but also increasing the durability of the effect after washing. Due to its good adhesion in fabrics, adding fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X to laundry detergent products can keep white clothes bright after repeated washings and prolong their service life.
In addition, the safety of the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X to fabrics in the washing process has also been widely recognized. It will not cause damage to fabric fibers or cause allergic reactions, ensuring the safety and comfort of washing clothes for users.
For washing powder factories, it is very important to choose a high-quality optical brightener CBS-X supplier. They should cooperate with reliable suppliers to ensure that the purchased fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X meets the relevant quality standards and regulatory requirements. At the same time, communicate with suppliers in time to understand product technical guidance and application suggestions to ensure the best results in laundry detergent manufacturing. RAYTOP is a well-known optical brightener manufacturer in China. Can meet the detailed requirements of laundry detergent and laundry detergent.
How does the washing powder factory use the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X in the production process?
Let's break it down in detail below.
1. Determine the amount of fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X
Understand the recommended concentration of fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X: When communicating with fluorescent whitening agent suppliers, understand the recommended concentration range. Generally speaking, the concentration of fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X is usually between 0.05% and 0.1% in laundry detergent. If the factory has special requirements for its own products, it can experiment with the dosage many times, and finally get the dosage you want.
Adjust according to product requirements: According to the characteristics of laundry detergent products and user needs, the concentration of fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X can be fine-tuned. For example, for products that require higher brightness effects, the amount of fluorescent whitening agent can be slightly increased.
2. Steps of adding fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X
Define the timing of adding: determine the timing of adding the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X. In general, it is usually added in the final stage of laundry detergent manufacturing to ensure that other ingredients have been well mixed.
Prepare fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X: Prepare an appropriate amount of fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X according to the predetermined concentration.
Adding to the laundry detergent manufacturing process: Add the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X evenly into the laundry detergent manufacturing process. It can be carried out by spraying, dropping or weighing to ensure that the fluorescent whitening agent is evenly dispersed throughout the laundry detergent.
Thorough mixing: According to the technical requirements of laundry detergent manufacturing, fully stir or mix the laundry detergent to ensure that the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X is evenly distributed and fully mixed with other ingredients.
3. Quality control and testing
Quality control: The washing powder factory should establish a quality control program to monitor the addition process of the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X. Make sure to use the correct dosage and follow the relevant quality standards and regulatory requirements.
Conduct testing: Take samples from the laundry detergent manufacturing process for testing to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X. Common tests include whiteness test and fluorescence test.
Whiteness test: Use a professional whiteness measuring instrument to test the white fabric in the laundry detergent product, and compare the whiteness change before and after adding the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X. Make sure products with optical brighteners provide a bright, clean afterwash finish.
Fluorescence test: Use ultraviolet light to irradiate the white fabric in the laundry detergent product, and observe its fluorescence effect in a dark environment. Fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X can emit blue light, making white fabrics show a bright fluorescent effect. Make sure that the product after adding fluorescent whitening agent has good fluorescent properties.
Through the quality control and testing of the optical brightener CBS-X addition process, the laundry detergent factory can ensure the stability and consistency of the product to meet the needs and expectations of consumers.
To sum up, the fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X plays an important role in the manufacture of laundry detergent. Through the correct dosage and usage method, it can significantly improve the cleaning ability and after-washing effect of laundry detergent products, and keep users' white clothes bright and clean. Laundry powder factories should cooperate with reliable suppliers to select high-quality fluorescent whitening agent CBS-X and follow relevant technical guidance to ensure the production of excellent laundry detergent products that meet the needs and expectations of consumers.
In conclusion, the use of CBS-X as a whitening agent in laundry detergents is a common practice. Its effectiveness in increasing the brightness and whiteness of fabrics has made it a popular choice for detergent manufacturers. The continued regulatory oversight ensures that the use of CBS-X in laundry products is safe and environmentally friendly.

Preventative maintenance is the key to ensuring your industrial and hydraulic hose systems have a long, functional lifespan. Along with standard operating procedures, consistent preventative maintenance efforts can keep your operators and managers apprised of the condition of each hose in the facility. Inspecting the hoses, replacing failing or worn components, maintaining an active data log, and having a steady inventory of key components are essential elements of every preventative maintenance plan. These action steps take aim at ensuring long-term optimization and cost-effective system management.
Incorporate these six tips into your preventative hose maintenance plan.
1. Visually inspect the hose and fitting.
Visual inspections are one of the most important—and one of the simplest—steps of preventative maintenance. Regularly inspect the hose system and its fittings for damage, disrepair, or signs of unusual performance problems on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis as appropriate for your application.
We recommend compiling a list of signals that trigger a complete shutdown and hose assembly replacement so your employees can quickly mitigate problems. Those signals should include:
- Leaks in the hose or around the fittings
- Fittings displacement or slippage
- Damaged fittings, including cracks, corrosion, and other visible damage
- Damaged hoses, including signs of cracks or charred surfaces and unusual hardness or stiffness
- Kinks, twists and flattened or crushed portions in the hose
- Damaged covers, including cuts, abrasions, blisters, and cracks, especially if the damage exposes the reinforcement (which requires replacement as soon as possible)
- Loose, soft, or degraded covers
Keep in mind that no hose should ever be repaired or reused as damage and deterioration of the hose may compromise its ability for use at its original design capability.
2. Track the lifecycle of each hose.
Each industrial and hydraulic hose—and its fittings—has a known expected lifespan. Each end application is at least somewhat unique and requires consideration as to how long the hose assembly should last. Ask your manufacturer or supplier about that lifespan and the ideal interval for inspections and tune-ups. Tailor the preventative maintenance schedule to the individual components to allow your facility's inspectors to perform efficient, optimal maintenance. At each stage of the lifespan, look for signs of cuts, kinks, corrosion, or deterioration that match the life stage of the part. We recommend that this be documented in a log of the part's condition over time. Your facility inspectors can then monitor for increases in damage and see trends in performance. Strongly consider permanently tagging or other suitable means of marking the hose assembly. This will also assist in signaling when a hose should be inspected and replaced.
3. Perform functionality tests.
Test each hose system by operating it at its maximum rated working pressure and checking it for leaks or problems. During this test, make sure any system surges also are below the maximum permissible pressure and that personnel maintain a safe distance from the equipment in the event of a malfunction.
Never inspect a hose by being in direct physical contact with a hose under pressure. Fluid injections can cause severe injury.
4. Establish consistent replacement intervals.
Even with good preventative maintenance and optimal system operations, parts of the hose system will break down over time. The elastomeric seals, for example, will start to harden, wear, or turn brittle due to both age and frequent exposure to heat and pressure. Replacing these parts anytime the hose is removed helps keep the system as a whole in good condition and doesn't require unscheduled downtime for troubleshooting and repairs. It prevents failures that could result in injuries or loss of production.
5. Analyze the data.
During each step of your facility's preventative maintenance program, keep a running record of the assembly's condition, any parts replaced or repaired, and even that regular inspections occurred without the need for adjustment. All of this data allows your company to monitor the long-term performance of the system and see if the system is performing as expected. Analyzing the data also can help your company determine if it's time for a new design or system.
When properly equipped, destructive testing, or testing replaced parts to determine how much strain or continued use they can handle, is also a profitable analysis that can help your company reconfigure replacement schedules.
6. Be prepared with spares.
As opposed to having to turn off the machines and cause delays for known or anticipated repairs because you don't have the parts on hand, maintain an inventory of spare parts. A smart analytics system, combined with your preventative maintenance data, can recommend the right quantities of which components to keep on-site for fast replacement. Along with an in-house inventory, you can order replacements in preparation for scheduled parts replacement tasks and streamline the entire process.

WHOI Presents Its Highest Honor to Physicist William Jenkins
The twelfth Henry Bryant Bigelow Award in Oceanography, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI) highest honor, was presented January 31 to a member of the Institution's own scientific staff. Senior Scientist William J. Jenkins of the Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department, a physicist, was honored for his "outstanding contributions to the development of the tritium-helium dating technique and its application to problems in ocean physics, biology and geochemistry, as well as his exceptional character and selfless dedication to the advance of science at WHOI."
The Bigelow Award is presented "to those who make significant inquiries into the phenomena of the sea." The award was established in 1960 by the Institution's Board of Trustees in honor of the first Director, biologist Henry Bryant Bigelow, who was also the first recipient. Bigelow served as WHOI Director from 1930 to 1940, as President of the Corporation from 1940 to 1950, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees from 1950 to 1960. The award, a medal and cash prize, is given to individuals in any field of oceanography without limitation as to age or nationality and is presented for an outstanding contribution to oceanography rather than a cumulative record of achievement. Nominations for the award were received from prominent scientists around the world.
Jenkins, a resident of Falmouth, joined the Institution's staff as an assistant scientist in 1974 shortly after graduation from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, where he received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in physics. His doctoral thesis was entitled "Helium Isotope and Rare Gas Oceanology." Jenkins was promoted to an associate scientist at WHOI in 1978 and to a senior scientist in 1984.
While a graduate student at McMaster University, Jenkins developed with Dr. Brian Clarke techniques for mass spectrometric measurement of helium isotopes in seawater. Since that time, he has applied these techniques to a wide variety of geochemical problems, including ocean mixing studies and global climate change. He has pioneered the concept of dating oceanic water masses based on the concentration of the hydrogen isotope tritium, with a half-life of 12.5 years, and its decay product, Helium-3, a stable isotope. By measuring the relative concentration of these species, it is possible to determine the time that has elapsed since the ocean water masses were in contact with the atmosphere. Because of such measurements, made on water samples taken periodically at several depths over large areas of the global seas, physical oceanographers now have a much better understanding of oceanic circulation and mixing processes.
"Bill Jenkins's contribution of the development of the tritium-helium 3 dating method and its application to oceanography alone would be worthy of this award, if the criteria were restricted to a single contribution," the award committee wrote. "However, his research is remarkable because it has had major impacts on many different fields, including physical oceanography, biological oceanography and geochemistry. Bill Jenkins is one of those rare people who make superb measurements and can also place the data into sound, quantitative models, which has allowed him to straddle these diverse fields in a unique way.

What property of a cryptographic function is described below?
B = F(A) A = F(B)

Self-invertibility. – Arturo Magidin Mar 8 '11 at 2:26
2 Answers 2
Most mechanical cipher machines use a reciprocal cipher, so the machine doesn't need a separate "encode mode" and "decode mode". A reciprocal cipher is an involution.
share|improve this answer
$F$ is an involution. You don't want this property for a block cipher since the function doesn't look "random". On the other hand, a stream cipher works exactly that way, but then it's a bit misleading to think of it as a function $F$: the function is missing an important parameter, namely time.

Abstract Syntax Trees are basically collections of facts in a program. a set of statements that cantain declarations, types, values, onstants.
They can be compared to graphs of data in RDF.
Trees basically are an intermediate representation of the program facts.
I hope to create a better tree representation for compilers using RDF.

As one of the top 10 barley producers in the world, Canada faces a problem of adapting to the 'new normal' of a warmer, drier climate.
The 2012 growing season was considered an average year on the Canadian Prairies, "but we still had a summer water deficit, and it is that type of condition we are trying to work with," said Scott Chang, a professor of soil science in the University of Alberta's Department of Renewable Resources in Edmonton, Canada.
Chang teamed with fellow crop scientist Anthony Anyia of Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures in 2006, following a severe drought in 2002 that dropped average crop yield in Alberta by about half.
They are exploring the genetic makeup of barley and how the grain crop—a Canadian staple used for beer malt and animal feed—can be made more efficient in its water use and more productive. One of their latest studies, published in the journal Theoretical and Applied Genetics, explores how to increase yield in barley crops while using less water.
By studying the carbon isotope compositions of barley plants and their relationship with water-use efficiency, the researchers developed tools that plant breeders can use to improve selection efficiency for more water-efficient varieties. The latest findings stem from an ongoing collaboration that is ultimately aimed at bringing farmers a more stable breed of the plant that has less reliance on water and is less vulnerable to climate change.


The Apprentice Formare Project is an iniciative of Iochpe Foundation, a non-governmental organization which is focused on making changes through education. The activities are developed in association with mid-size and large size companies that offer vocational studies. The students are young people that live under vulnerable social conditions.
The main goal is to turn the company into a school - which means learning while practicing, facing the daily challenges and exploring the knowledge of each company.And who could be better educators than the company's employees? The collaborators work willingly, sharing their expertise and promoting a mutual professional qualification process. The volunteers training and the didactic material are both provided by Iochpe Foundation.
Formare Project strenghtens a new and promising education approach: not only preparing professionals to the labour market, but also individuals that can handle obstacles and competition at work. In 2009, SYL becomes a part of this history. Our first group of students had math, computer science, metrology, technical design and many other classes.
Beyond the education, the company also offers transportation, food, groceries and medical assistance and dental care. Currently, we have 16 students at our company. Since our first group, many of them were hired after the graduation.

[F&O] IBM-FO-035: Problems with fn:number
From: Don Chamberlin
Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2004 05:57:40 -0800
To: _EMAIL_
Message-ID:
(IBM-FO-035): Section 14.1.4 (fn:number): The summary paragraph says that
if the context item is not a node, NaN is returned. The third paragraph
seems to contradict this by saying that if the context node is atomic, its
value is converted to xs:double. On closer reading the confusion only
increases: how can a node be atomic? Then the fourth paragraph says that
in the case of a node with an atomic type, its "value" is converted to
xs:double. Does this refer to the node's typed value or its string value?

The second step of the NOAA Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) approach includes identifying, selecting, and when needed developing, — indicators— that capture the status and trends of key ecosystem components defined in the first step of the approach. These indicators should be representative of the status and trends of the individual components (including biophysical, human activity, and community vulnerability and human well-being indicators), but collectively reflect the condition and trajectory of the relevant socio-ecological system (SES) when assessing the ecosystem as a whole (step three of the approach). Managers and stakeholders are engaged in the selection of indicators which is key to selecting indicators that will successfully support management decisions.
The third step of the NOAA IEA approach includes assessing the status of the ecosystem using the previously selected indicators. This is typically captured in Ecosystem Status Reports (ESRs), which are often also tailored for specific management partners (e.g. Fishery Management Councils; National Marine Sanctuaries).
Learn more about Ecosystem Status Reports and find each of the regional IEA's Ecosystem Status Reports here.
Indicators must be:
- scientifically rigorous
- understandable to and resonate with stakeholders
- sensitive to changes in the system
- trusted in the decision process
Benefits of Selecting Indicators and Assessing the Ecosystem
These indicators support all subsequent steps of the IEA approach (e.g. risk assessment and management strategy evaluation) and allow for adaptive management by providing the metric to assess progress towards meeting management objectives. The benefit of ESRs is they link information across indicators to give an integrated overview of ecosystem status relevant to marine resource management decision making.

Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. A narrow cylindrical object encasing a core of material, such as carbon or colored wax, that is capable of making a mark; used in writing, drawing and the like. 2. Any narrow cylindrical object, as a pencil of light shooting through a nail hole.
Notes: We offer today's Good Word to warn our dear readers of the dangers in spelling this word. A pensil (also spelled pencel) is a narrow streamer men once carried into battle atop their spears and lances. If the wind was not blowing, a pensil hangs pencile (loosely) from its perch. Remember to spell today's word pencil and you may use it as a verb in a special sense, "to write in temporarily", as to pencil someone in for lunch if you are not sure you can make the date.
In Play: Today's Good Word has such a narrow meaning it is difficult to find figurative uses other than a few off-color ones that have been used already. "Manny, why do you have those pencils in your nose?" "It keeps alligators from taking over the world." "That's absurd!" "When was the last time you saw an alligator around here?" But, if you care to try, the figurative property of pencils is their slenderness: "Don't laugh, old pencil-legs over there, as you call him, is a dancing genius."
Word History: In Middle English this word, spelled pencel then, meant "artist's brush". It was borrowed from Old French pincel or peincel, related to Modern French peinture "painting". French inherited the word from Latin penicillus "little tail, little brush", the diminutive of peniculus, itself the diminutive of penis "tail, brush". The antibacterial antibiotic, penicillin, gets its name from fungi of the genus Penicillium, so named for their brush-like appearance. (We are delighted that Mary Boser suggested this word rather than just pencil it into her schedule.)

Ideal random AB copolymers with degree of polymerization N are mixtures of N+1 types of chains with different compositions (fractions fi of A monomers). Conditions for single phase and multiphase equilibria are studied using Flory-Huggins free energy of mixing with χ representing the A-B interaction parameter. The spinodal for one phase instability is given by χs=[2f(1-f)]-1 for all N, where f is the average A fraction in the system. The transition from one to two phases is continuous at χ=χs when f=0.5 and discontinuous at χ<χ s when f≠0.5. Three, four, and more phases become stable at larger values of χ. Our numerical solution suggests that the stability range for multiple phases approaches Δχ≈0.15 at large (but finite) N. Macroscopically and microscopically phase separated states are investigated with the Landau approach of Fredrickson, Milner and Leibler. The Landau method gives reasonable but inexact results for two macroscopic phases when the random copolymer has compositional symmetry (f=0.5). A disordered mesophase is expected to be the most stable state at least over a range Δχ≈0.15 above the critical point when N≫1. The Landau approach with a single order parameter cannot be used for discontinuous transitions in random copolymers (f≠0.5).

Hydrogen interaction with ruthenium is of particular importance for the ruthenium-capped
Hydrogen interaction with ruthenium is of particular importance for the ruthenium-capped multilayer reflectors found in intensive ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. atoms. The decreased atomic level of hydrogen, alongside Vorapaxar distributor the aftereffect of electronCelectron repulsion from the ruthenium surface area charge, facilitates subsurface penetration. Understanding the nature of tins influence on hydrogen penetration will guideline efforts to mitigate blistering damage of EUV optics. It also holds great interest for applications where hydrogen penetration is usually desirable, such as hydrogen storage. eV/?, and a 1 10 eV energy convergence criterion. Slab calculations were performed with a grid; all atoms were allowed to unwind in the optimization process. In order to account for long-range dispersive interactions, all calculations were performed with the DFT-D3 dispersion correction proposed by Grimme et al. [36]. Transition state calculations were carried out using the Climbing Image Nudged Elastic Band (CINEB) algorithm [37], with a pressure criterion of 1 1 10 eV/? and three (3) intermediate geometries for the transition state search. The calculated lattice parameters for hexagonal close-packed (hcp) ruthenium are? and cell, with? of vacuum between the periodic images in the cell changes by less than 2% from 5 layers to 11 layers. Lattice parameters? and? for solid tin in the? and?, respectively [38]. Slab calculations for Sn(001) and Sn(010) surfaces were performed with and cells of 7-layer slabs, with 15? vacuum. For hydrogen, the energy of adsorption is usually computed per the definition stand respectively for the total energies of the ruthenium slab with adsorbed hydrogen atoms, clean ruthenium slab, and the energy of the hydrogen molecule. The formation energy of interstitial hydrogen, normalised to the hydrogen concentration, is calculated according to the definition are respectively the number MDS1-EVI1 of metal atoms and the number of hydrogen atoms, while stand respectively for the total energy of the metal hydride, the energy of each bulk metal atom, and the energy of a hydrogen molecule. Jump frequencies for the hydrogen diffusion were extracted from the transition state calculations. The jump rate for a diffusing hydrogen atom may be expressed as is the energy difference between the transition state and ground state. For bulk diffusion, the pre-exponential factor in Equation (3) may be approximated by the expression [39] and are the vibrational frequencies in the initial and transition states respectively, obtained by determining the the Hessian matrix (matrix of the second derivatives of the energy with respect to atomic positions). Due to the low mass of the hydrogen atom, its adsorption and diffusion behaviour is usually, in general, influenced by zero-point energy (ZPE). The ZPE is usually calculated by Vorapaxar distributor the relation is usually a real normal mode frequency. The zero point energy for a hydrogen molecule (H2) calculated thus is usually 0.27 eV (0.135 eV per H atom), corresponding to a vibrational mode of 4354 cm?1, in good agreement with the experimentally-determined value of 4401 cm?1 [40]. However, Vorapaxar distributor ZPE contributions are not explicitly included in this work, as they do not impact the computed energies and barriers to a significant degree, particularly in relation to one another. 2.2. Electronic Structure and Bonding Analysis In addition to the energy calculations, we have carried out an in-depth analysis of the chemical bonding for a thorough understanding of the conversation Vorapaxar distributor between species. The bonds of primary curiosity are those between your diffusing hydrogen atom and the top ruthenium atoms. We investigated the Bader atomic fees and volumes [41,42,43,44], the Density Derived Electrostatic and Vorapaxar distributor Chemical substance (DDEC6) relationship orders and net atomic fees [45,46], the electron density and Laplacian at relationship critical factors (BCP) [47], as well as the Crystal Orbital Hamilton People (COHP) and Crystal Orbital Overlap.
