This article will take a look at what to do when you think your PIP assessor has lied with regards to your case and information as well as what are the possible ways for the assessor to miscommunicate your information to the Department for Work and Pension. The article will also provide an overall introduction to the PIP.
Your PIP Assessor Lied – What To Do?
If your PIP assessor has lied about your medical assessment then here is what you should and should not do:
- Request For A Mandatory Reconsideration
- Apply Again
- Do Not Present Evidence Against Your Assessor – It Could Backfire
Let us take a look at these in detail!
Request For A Mandatory Reconsideration
If you think your PIP assessor has lied then the best thing you can do is request for a mandatory reconsideration. This is a professional and mature way to respond to an upsetting situation where everyone is dealt with in a respectful manner with the strong belief that the truth will eventually come out.
What Does Mandatory Reconsideration Mean?
Mandatory reconsideration refers to when you disagree with the decision over your Personal Independence Pay made by the Department for Work and Pension.
This usually occurs because of the following reasons:
- You strongly believe that the decision makers missed out important information or made a significant error that affected the decision with regards to your PIP benefits.
- You disagree with the decision because of the reasoning behind it.
- You want to have the decision looked at again.
In the above cases, you are legally allowed to file for mandatory reconsideration. However, it must be noted that the mandatory reconsideration can be done only within a month of the decision reaching you or being made.
Mandatory Reconsideration – Where Does It Apply?
Mandatory reconsideration applies to the following areas:
- Attendance Allowance
- Bereavement Allowance
- Carer's Allowance
- Carer's Credit
- child maintenance (sometimes known as 'child support')
- Compensation Recovery Scheme (including NHS recovery claims)
- Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme
- Disability Living Allowance
- Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
- Funeral Expenses Payment
- Income Support
- Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
- Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA)
- Maternity Allowance
- Pension Credit
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Sure Start Maternity Grant
- Universal Credit (including advance payments)
- Winter Fuel Payment
However, there are some conditions or areas where it does not apply that include Child Benefit, Tax-Free Childcare and 30 hours free childcare, Guardian's Allowance, tax credits, Housing Benefit and Vaccine Damage Payment – these involve a different process.
How to ask for mandatory reconsideration
Contact the benefits office that gave you the decision. You can contact them:
- by phone
- by letter
- by filling in and returning a form
- The contact details are on your decision letter.
You need to ask for mandatory reconsideration within one month of the date on your decision letter. If you're writing, the letter or form must arrive by then.
If you do not have your decision letter, contact the office where you applied for the benefit.
Only recently have PIP applicants been allowed to apply again if they think they are now eligible for PIP as compared to a time in the past.
Sometimes it is better to take a fresh start than to get back into the relationship and try again knowing you are likely to fail yet another time! The same applies to PIP! In many cases it will be difficult to prove that your PIP assessor lied or deceived the panel who took the decision regarding your case. This is because it is impossible to prove someone lied; however you can claim that they provided inaccurate information.
Hence it is better to apply again and be very careful that you provide information in such a manner that if the PIP assessor does lie, you can prove it very easily when you go for mandatory reconsideration.
Do Not Present Evidence Against Your Assessor – It Could Backfire
Sometimes trying to do the right thing or exposing someone's lies could backfire – the world is not fair and it shows. There have been many incidents where people successfully collected evidence to show how they were being cheated or their case was jeopardized and they did not receive PIP benefits but this only backfired. Why?
People often do not understand how the law works. Even if you can prove someone has lied, cheated or deceived someone you may get into trouble for how you collected that information. Thus, it would be very dangerous if you called up the DWP and told them you had caught your assessor lying because you taped her collecting obvious information that was not included in the assessment information or you had recorded the session where you were examined.
Why Do Assessors Make Mistakes (Or Lie)?
There are a number of reasons why an assessor may not provide the correct information to the DWP panel:
- They do not fully understand the condition you have
- They are careless in the assessment
- They simply do not care
- They are not fully trained to carry out the assessment
- They do not recognize the significance of their role – take it easy
There could be many reasons why such cases arise where people eventually claim that the assessor lied or made a mistake!
Here are some claims that PIP applicants make against PIP assessors:
- They are untrained
- They get a bonus for every applicant declined
- They do not understand our condition or disease
- They do not put in the effort
Nonetheless, the best way to go about this matter is to either apply again or request for a mandatory reconsideration. In case you suspect fraud, deception or any illegal activity going on then a legal professional should be involved so that the matter can be taken care of in an effective but safe manner where your interests are not compromised.
What Is PIP?
PIP stands for Personal Independence Pay that is a non-taxable benefit which can be availed by people who suffer from a long term condition or injury that affects their daily life activities and mobility.
This means they cannot walk properly or carry out simple or basic tasks such as eating properly or doing simple well being tasks like taking a bath. This benefit is given to people not based on the condition itself but the way it affects the person and their life activities.
It takes quite some time because of the information the concerned department has to process with regards to your case. In this case, the concerned department is the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which will make a decision after you have completed your medical assessment and have sent in other relevant documents such as your claims and the notes made by the health professional during or with regards to your medical assessment.
Thus, the following 3 sources of information are taking into consideration:
- Your Claim
- Your Medical Assessment
- Health Professionals Comments
To process all this information and make a decision, the DWP takes about 12 weeks to get back to you!
To avail PIP you need to be checked by a health professional and undergo some sort of medical assessment as well as fill a form. This assessment has two components to it that affect what you get. These two components are:
- Daily Living Part: The weekly rate for the daily living part of PIP is either £60.00 or £89.60.
- Mobility Part: The weekly rate for the mobility part of PIP is either £23.70 or £62.55.
- Terminal Illness: You'll get the higher daily living part if you're not expected to live more than 6 months. The rate of the mobility part depends on your needs.
What you get depends not on the illness but the extent to how much it affects you. It is observed whether or not you are affected by this illness and if so how much; are you able to perform daily tasks or not and can you move from one place easily or not.
This article took a look at why PIP assessors may lie and what a PIP applicant does in such a situation as well as what they should not do. Furthermore, the article highlighted how one can apply for mandatory reconsideration and what it is and when it can be considered to try again for PIP benefits. Finally, the article looked at what PIP is and the process one needs to go through.


10 Kingly Things about David Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon"
by David Grann
Nikki's Rating: 10 out of 10
Summary: Living a life of luxury during the 1920s, the Osage Nation in Oklahoma were the envy of many and this envy took a deadly turn. Members of the Osage tribe began dying under suspicious circumstances and anyone who investigated were murdered as well. With the rising death toll, the newly put together FBI gets involved and exposes a large conspiracy that will haunt the Osage for generations to come.
10 Kingly Things about David Grann's Killers of the Flower Moon
(May Contain Spoilers)
1. Educational
Killers of the Flower Moon was an absolute eye-opener, I've never even heard about the Osage Nation and definitely not about their murders. This novel was a wealth of knowledge about the Osage Indians, the Osage murders, and also the beginnings of the FBI. It is a testament of the atrocities we can do to fellow human beings due to prejudices and believing they are less-than.
2. Osage Indians
David Grann showed the utmost respect when talking about the Osage Tribe and their people throughout Killers of the Flower Moon. Grann gave background and described some practices of the Osage people but he did not attempt to be an expert and he did not make stereotypes. He did not portray them as ignorant savages who need pity nor did he portray them as nature protecting shaman who should be revered.
3. White Power
Ultimately, the Killers of the Flower Moon is a story of how whites took advantage and even killed many members of the Osage Tribe during the 1920s for their money. And they got away with it because of prejudices and discrimination against Native Americans. Many of the whites in the county including judges, policemen, and doctors were complacent, no one cared about the rich Indians and there was an overall attitude that these crimes were okay because they were benefiting white people.
4. Good Whites
On the flip side, David Grann makes sure to show that not all whites in Osage County were involved with the conspiracy. There were some white men who honestly tried to solve the Osage murders and found themselves killed as well. And then there was Comstock, an affluent white citizen of Osage County who openly and willing assisted investigators.
5. New Information
One of the most important things that came out with David Grann's investigation into the Osage Murders was that there were more killings than just what the FBI investigated and pressed charges for. Through Grann's research he found that hundreds of Osage Indians had died at a much higher rate than normal and that all of them had money being overseen by whites. Grann uncovered a conspiracy that went farther than what was once believed and the victims will never have justice.
6. Writing
While incredibly heavy with dates, facts, and overall information, Killers of the Flower Moon does not read like a history textbook. Instead Grann does an exceptional job of uncovering the facts, people, and places in a story-telling way and he keeps his readers engaged with great pacing, beautiful descriptives, and a layer by layer reveal of the conspiracy and its key players.
7. Context
Another exceptional writing skill that Grann displays is that of contexts. Grann makes sure to explain customs or norms that were different during that time period. He also includes background on numerous characters allowing readers to better understand their motives, values, and choices. And Grann also includes reminders of who people are in relation to events. This was incredibly helpful and allowed for easy understanding without having to flip back in the book or to look something up.
8. Now
Even though the events of the Osage murders occurred during the 1920s, Grann visited Osage County and interviewed relatives of those who were directly involved. This is so powerful because of generational trauma and the fact that so many of the murders did not get investigated. Grann looks at the repercussions on a people who have been abused and neglected by the government and justice system that was meant to protect them.
9. Pictures
Throughout Killers of the Flower Moon are pictures. Pictures of people, sometimes places but pictures to help remind you that these are not fictional characters. The tragedies that happened in Osage County during the 1920s were real. Killers of the Flower Moon isn't a fictional mystery novel and the pictures help provide context but also to drive that fact home.
10. References
There was extensive research done for the Killers of the Flower Moon and Grann has both an "Archival and Unpublished Sources" and "Selected Bibliography" included at the end. It is proof that Grann did his work and provides credibility to all information presented in Killers of the Flower Moon. It is hard to realize that this tragic tale is not fiction but rather a true tale of horror that many people lived through.

UK Housing Trusts - Paying the rent
Most housing Associations have online methods for collecting the rent., however a number still rely on the traditional rent book system.
Can I rent out my property and collect the rent and then pay the HA?
Some HAs allow a tenant to do this. Is is called subl letting. When subletting there are many things to take in account.
1.How much you will rent the property out for. Do you know local rental rates.
2. The rent rate is the average a property will be rented out locally, try and stay close to the average.
3. If the rent is set too high it will take a longer time to find a tenant or a family to rent the property
4. Ensure that all of your bills are up to date and you can switch the utlity bills into the name of the new tenant. Remember insurance and how that it paid and kept up to date
5. Contracts: Commonly used is a short hold tenancy agreement, they can be bought online for less than £10 or WHSmiths do one. This article is worth a read. and will help you get it right!
When choosing a tenant it is important to do a credit check. Best to check this out with your local HA office

Ecosystem stability: How a Plant Community Blows Off Wind Pressure
This research paper aims to understand how Aruba's plant ecosystem is shaped and affected by the constant wind pressure present on the island. This was achieved by evaluating and comparing multiple variables related to ecosystem stability, resilience and service provision with wind exposure (leeward and windward) and wind strength through data collection and analyses and a literature review. Results showed leeward sides present higher plant population, density and species richness, while windward slopes present higher biodiversity. Furthermore, the slopes with the highest wind strength were found to have the highest variations between exposure and the lowest values. These results point to the wind having an apparent hindering effect on plant population, richness and cover while showing that biodiversity is a more robust characteristic and could thus remain unchanged under environmental stress. Defining which slopes present higher stability and resilience cannot be concluded, but windward slopes, which present plant deformation and patchy distribution, could be better adapted to stronger winds that could occur with climate change, than leeward slopes, which have vegetation that is less affected by current conditions.

Rock fish is a specific fish which lived in around rock ridge area. The increasing of rock ridge area exploitation and the catch of ridge rok fish which didn't pay attention to the environment, cause a wide-spread damage, especially in region where rock fish lived, the rock ridge area. In this area, rock fish has large amount and a large organism. With its large quantity fulfilling rock ridge area, there could be seen that rock fish was a supporter of relation in rock ridge ecosystem. White Sand beach was known as a beach which rich of fish and rock ridge. But as time goes by, the fish variant and the beauty of rock ridge was decreasing. It caused by continuous exploitation by people around which caused the higher damage of rock ridge area. Opening white sand as tourism object and lack of sea protection area could decrease the rock fish population. Based on the fact, there needed a population record about the amount and the kind of rock fish, especially in Watu Lawang and Pon-pon rock, white sand, Bungatan sub-district, Situbondo residence. The research aimed to find out about the various kind and amount of rock fish, to find out physical, chemical, and biological condition to the rock fish habitat and also find out factors damaging rock fish ecosystem in Watu Lawang and Pon-Pon rock water area White sand beach, Bungatan Sub-district, Situbondo Residence. The benefit of this research was: to increase knowledge in rock ridge monitoring using Reef Check method. It could be an information used as consideration for related policy to protect the species of rock fish, it also could be used as further research to use, develop, and keep the sea source in continuous and unity way. The research was done in November – December 2008, while primary data was taken in 15-16 November 2008 in Watu Lawang water area and Pon-Pon rock, White Sand beach, Bungatan sub-district Situbondo residence. In this research, the investigated object was kind and amount of rock fish, using Reef Check method. This method was done in 2 depth, 3 m and 10 m according to the lowest lessened data. From the research, the kind and amount of rock fish, that was Watu lawang in Site 1 (Watu Lawang) in 3 meters depth, there found Butterfly fish species, Haemulidae, Snapper and Parrotfish. In 10 meters depth, there found more rock fish. They were Butterflyfish, Haemulidae, Snapper, Barramundi cod, Grouper, Humphead wrasse and Parrotfish. In Site 2 (Pon-pon rock) at 10 meters depth, there found several species fishes, they were: Butterflyfish, Haemulidae, Snapper and Parrotfish. In 3 meters depth there found rock fishes: Butterflyfish, Haemulidae, Snapper and Parrotfish and Grouper. Water quality which was measured at location (Watu Lawang and Pon-Pon rock) showed temperature 26 - 280C, salinity 31 - 32‰, flow around 7 – 9,2 m/detik, DO in average 4,56 – 6,601mg/l and pH around 8 – 9. From the water quality measurement at location, it was still in normal rate for rock fish life. Ecosystem around Watu Lawang and Pon-Pon rock water area was not worth for rock fish life, since in the location could not found padang lamun ecosystem and mangrove ecosystem. In this location, rock ridge placed behind local villagers and there was not much shrimp pond which dominated the sea-shore, where the household waste was thrown to the sea and influenced the rock ridge life as the ecosystem of rock fish. Fishermen's boat was also influenced the life of rock ridge, since the anchor brought down by the fishermen could damage the rock ridge which lived in the area. The researcher suggest to do illuminatio to the society around and tourists about the importance of rock ridge life for rock fish and there was needed a monitoring of rock fish population each year, to find out the development of rock fish ecosystem so that the population and amount was not decreasing.

Annealing in Seismic Inversion
Dr. Mrinal K. Sen
Institute for Geophysics
John A.& Katherine G. Jackson School of Geosciences
The University of Texas at Austin
Seismic inversion involves estimating elastic properties or
some attributes of the subsurface rocks by iterative fitting of observed
seismograms with the theoretical seismograms. For many applications,
optimal fitting of data with model may become computationally intractable
due to nonlinearity, ill-posedness and expensive forward modeling.
I will discuss several efficient approaches to address these issues.
The non-linear optimization problem is solved very efficiently using
a method called simulated annealing (SA) that does not usually get
trapped in a local minimum of the fitness function that measures the
similarities or differences between observed and synthetic data. The
SA approach can be applied to post-stack inversion for impedances,
wavelet estimation, and pre-stack waveform inversion. It can also
be used for estimation of uncertainties in the derived results. The
efficiency can be increased further by a combination of SA with a
local optimization. I will show several field data examples to demonstrate
the applicability and usefulness of our algorithm.

Lactating mares have drastically increased nutritional requirements in order to keep themselves and their foals healthy.
Do you get tired just watching your new foal gallop around his pasture? Try supplying him with enough energy and nutrition to allow him to frolic and play all day! Lactation is one of the most physiologically demanding stages for broodmares. Their nutritional requirements increase drastically in order to maintain weight while
providing nursing foals with enough critical nutrients.
Lactating mares have the highest nutrient requirements during the first three months of lactation. These requirements decrease as their milk production decreases—in both quantity and quality—during the fourth through sixth months post-foaling.
If a lactating mare's diet is restricted, she will sacrifice her own calorie, protein, and mineral stores for milk production. In severe cases an undernourished broodmare can suffer weight, muscle tone, and bone loss. Thus, it's crucial to provide lactating mares with enough feed to sustain both themselves and their growing foals.
Here are five tips for meeting mares' nutritional needs during lactation:
- Go with Grain. Although high-quality hay and/or grass should remain the basis of the diet, in most cases forage alone cannot meet lactating mares' nutritional requirements. Grain products formulated for broodmares are designed to meet pregnant and lactating mares' nutritional needs. Follow the feeding rates suggested on the tag or bag corresponding to the month of lactation.
- Split it up. Many mares in the first three months of lactation will require between 10 to 15 pounds of a commercial grain mix per day to meet their increased nutrient requirements. Dividing this into two or three meals per day can help reduce the risk of digestive upset and increase nutrient digestion and absorption.
- Building Blocks. High-quality protein is vital to delivering essential amino acids to the foal. Thus, the mare's dietary requirements for lysine, the first limiting amino acid in growth and development, increase from about 38 grams per day in late pregnancy to 85 grams per day in early lactation for an average 1,100 pound mare. When choosing a grain mix, check the feed tag and ingredient list to ensure they include guaranteed levels of lysine.
- Can I have some? Most foals will begin to nibble on their mare's grain within weeks of birth and can easily consume up to four pounds each day by the time weaning approaches. You might need to increase the amount of grain you provide your mare each day to ensure she is still consuming enough to meet her needs. Otherwise, consider raising her feed tubs higher than the foal's reach or providing creep feed for the foal.
- Monitor body condition score. Monitor a lactating mare's body condition frequently, and adjust her diet as needed. Aim to maintain pregnant and lactating mares at a body condition score of 6 to 7, and never less than 5, on the 1-9 Henneke scale. Should a mare's body condition drop substantially, her reproductive performance (for example, cycles per conception) might decrease.
Lactating mares have drastically increased nutritional requirements in order to keep themselves and their foals healthy. Ensuring that your broodmare consumes enough calories each day will help foals start out on the right foot and help keep mares' bodies functioning optimally.

Question: What Companies Use LIFO?
Does Apple use FIFO or LIFO?
FIFO The first in first out FIFO method is used in Apples inventory management | Course Hero..
Does Starbucks use LIFO or FIFO?
Starbucks uses LIFO or FIFO inventory methods. Starbucks does use inventory reserve accounts for obsolete and slow-moving inventory. They also use it for estimated shrinkage between physical inventory counts.
Is LIFO allowed in India?
The cost of other inventory items used is assigned by using either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or weighted average cost formula. Last-in, first-out (LIFO) is not permitted. … Indian companies have generally adopted the weighted average or FIFO method.
Does Walmart use LIFO?
The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market as determined primarily by the retail inventory method of accounting, using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for substantially all of the Walmart U.S. segment's inventories.
Do companies use LIFO or FIFO?
Since prices usually increase, most businesses prefer to use LIFO costing. If you want a more accurate cost, FIFO is better, because it assumes that older less-costly items are most usually sold first.
Why LIFO is banned?
Why do companies use FIFO?
Do restaurants use FIFO or LIFO?
The majority of restaurants operate according to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle of inventory valuation. This technique assumes that the goods you purchase first are the goods you use (and sell) first.
What is the benefit of LIFO?
The biggest benefit of LIFO is a tax advantage. During times of inflation, LIFO results in a higher cost of goods sold and a lower balance of remaining inventory. A higher cost of goods sold means lower net income, which results in a smaller tax liability.
Does Amazon use LIFO or FIFO?
Amazon Uses the FIFO Method to Determine Storage Fees It uses the First In, First Out (FIFO) method. In other words: your first batch of products that arrived at the warehouse will also be the first to go out the door when customers order them.
Does Costco use LIFO or FIFO?
Merchandise inventories for all foreign operations are primarily valued by the retail method of accounting and are stated using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company's management makes an assessment each quarter of the estimated annual impact of inflation and adjusts the LIFO provision accordingly.
Why do oil companies use LIFO?
Companies that use LIFO record the cost of inventory at the latest price paid for those materials in the open market, even though they are selling goods often bought at a lower value. This increases a company's cost of goods sold, which in turn reduces profit. The upside: higher cash flow because of reduced taxes.
Is LIFO still allowed?
Therefore, LIFO is prohibited under IFRS because the focus of IFRS shifted away from the income statement to the balance sheet and, therefore, away from LIFO.
Why do companies choose LIFO over FIFO?
LIFO Reduces Taxes and Helps Match Revenue With Cost During times of rising prices, companies may find it beneficial to use LIFO cost accounting over FIFO. Under LIFO, firms can save on taxes as well as better match their revenue to their latest costs when prices are rising.
What is LIFO Last In First Out?
How many companies use LIFO?
Of 600 companies surveyed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the leading trade association for the accounting profession in the United States, more than 400 use LIFO for both tax and financial reporting.
Where is LIFO used?
The LIFO method is used in the COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) calculation when the costs of producing a product or acquiring inventory has been increasing. This may be due to inflation.
One of the greatest differences between GAAP and IFRS is that IFRS forces companies to use the first in first out (FIFO) form of accounting for their inventory. On the other hand, GAAP will allow a company to choose whether or not they want to use FIFO or the last in first out (LIFO) method.

During the course of his life, Heracles married four times. His first marriage was to Megara, whose children he murdered in a fit of madness. According to Pseudo-Apollodorus (Bibliotheca, 2.4. 12) Megara was unharmed.
How did Hercules die?
Hercules then asked for help from the gods to end his life, and he received it. The Greek god Jupiter sent lightning to consume Hercules' mortal body and took him to live with the gods on Mount Olympus.
Can a demigod kill a god?
Nothing can kill a god in Greek Mythology, period. Not even other gods, not even other things older and more powerful than gods. … Not even other gods, not even other things older and more powerful than gods.
What happens if 2 demigods have a baby?
Q: If two demigods had a child, would that child be a quarter-blood, a demigod, or what? A: Most half-bloods at Camp Half-Blood don't live long enough to have children. … If they did have children, the kids would probably pass for normal mortals, since the godly powers get diluted with each generation.
Are demigods real today?
True demigods are extremely rare, and most people believe they don't exist at all, since any sort of "genetic" (not quite DNA, but close enough) traces can't be distinguished between angelic, fey, or demonic heritage, and so there's no reason to believe godly heritage would be any different.
What power does Hercules have?
superhuman strengthHercules possesses the typical powers of an Olympian god, including superhuman strength, durability, speed, reflexes, stamina and endurance.

Keep your server sharp and upgrade memory techniques
A bottleneck is a stage in a process that causes the entire process to slow down or stop. In a communications context, a bottleneck is a point in the enterprise where the flow of data is impaired or stopped entirely... (Continued)
A bottleneck frequently arises from poor network or storage fabric designs. Mismatched hardware selection is a common cause. For example, if a workgroup server is fitted with a Gigabit Ethernet port but the corresponding switch port that connects to the server only offers a legacy 10/100 Ethernet port, the slow switch port will then pose a bottleneck to the server. Another design flaw common to storage networks is excess fan-in, where multiple storage devices are connected to the same switch port in order to maximize the use of that switch port's bandwidth. For example, connecting multiple fourgigabit (Gb) Fibre Channel storage devices to the same switch port can easily overwhelm the switch port and result in performance problems if multiple storage devices are active simultaneously. In many cases, bottlenecks develop over time because administrators fail to track the increasing demands of network and storage traffic.
Bottlenecks can also develop due to poor or sub-optimal configuration of switches or host bus adapters (HBAs). For example, using multiple Fibre Channel ports to connect devices within the storage switching fabric can improve storage availability and performance but if the interconnected devices are not configured for load balancing much of the benefit is lost. Similarly, bottleneck conditions can occur due to hardware failures. From the previous example, suppose that one of two Fibre Channel links should fail. Although failover should allow the storage device to remain accessible, all the traffic that used to be carried by two links now fails over to one -- potentially resulting in a bottleneck if that traffic exceeds the bandwidth of a single link.
Bottlenecks are typically located by systematically testing network performance at various devices along a data path and isolating devices performing noticeably slower than other points. Once identified, the bottleneck can usually be resolved by reconfiguring, upgrading or replacing the offending device. At the network level, this may involve upgrading a switch or HBA. For servers, a CPU or memory upgrade may help or the server may need to be replaced entirely (for example, replacing an aging single-CPU server with a newer dual-or quad-CPU server). Bottlenecks can often be avoided by proactively monitoring traffic load trends over time and implementing improvements before serious problems develop.

The aim of this paper is to obtain new necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniform exponential stability of variational difference equations with applications to robustness problems. We prove characterizations for exponential stability of variational difference equations using translation invariant sequence spaces and
emphasize the importance of each hypothesis. We introduce a new concept of stability radius for a variational system of difference equations with respect to a perturbation structure and deduce a very general estimate for the lower bound of. All the results are obtained without any restriction concerning the coefficients, being applicable for any system of variational difference equations.

However, new research has found that solo suppers, both out and at home, are bad for your health as they can increase your risk of developing a metabolic syndrome such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, especially in men, a study claims.
For the experiement, researchers from Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, analysed 7,725 adults, asking them how often they eat alone and then comparing it to their health. The team also looked at lifestyle factors including smoking, alcohol use, age and the amount someone worked out per week.
Results showed that men who ate alone had a 45 per cent increased risk of being obese and are 64 per cent more likely to develop a metabolic syndrome.
As for women, it was found they were 29 per cent more likely to develop a metabolic syndrome if they ate alone twice or more per day, though when lifestyle factors were taken into account the percentage was reduced.
Findings have been published in Obesity Research & Clinical Practice, with the team conducting the research to see if there was a link between loneliness and metabolic disorders in an age where more and more people are living on their own.
Previous research published in 2013 found that limited contact with others increases a person's overall risk of death over time. It's estimated that more than 27 per cent of the American population lives alone, up from five per cent in 1920.© Cover Media

The purpose of a Break in family life is to provide a technique to slow down emotions when things get heated. It also helps kids pause and think when they have deliberately or inadvertently acted out. A Break is an adult skill that every child needs to learn how to use. Some children move into the Break routine easily, but others, because of emotional intensity, react to it. It's not optional so practice, firmness, and resolve are important to get it working effectively.
Here is how you can implement the Break with your own children. Find out more in the podcast episode!

Take the 2-minute tour ×
Encouraged by the progress made in a recently posted MO problem, here is a "conceptually related" problem originating from a 2003 joint paper of Sergei Konyagin and myself.
Suppose we are given $n$ points $z_1,...,z_n$ on the unit circle $U=\{z\colon |z|=1\}$ and $n$ weights $p_1,...,p_n\ge 0$ such that $p_1+....+p_n=n$, and we want to find yet another point $z\in U$ to maximize the product $$ \prod_{i=1}^n |z-z_i|^{p_i}. $$ How large can we make this product by the optimal choice of $z$?
Conjecture. For any given $z_1,...,z_n\in U$ and $p_1,...,p_n\ge 0$ with $p_1+...+p_n=n$, there exists $z\in U$ with $$ \prod_{i=1}^n |z-z_i|^{p_i} \ge 2. $$
Here are some comments.
 - If true, the estimate of the conjecture is best possible, as evidenced by the situation where the points are equally spaced on $U$ and all weights are equal to $1$.
 - We were able to resolve a number of particular cases; say, that where the points $z_i$ are equally spaced on $U$, and also that where all weights are equal to $1$.
 - The case $n=2$ is almost trivial, but already the case $n=3$ is wide open.
 - In the general case we have shown that the maximum is larger than some absolute constant exceeding $1$.
 - Although this is not obvious at first glance, this conjecture is actually about the maxima of polynomials on the unit circle.
I would be very interested to see any further progress!

Just a small remark. The case $p_i=1$ was Problem 2 on the 1991 Hungarian Schweitzer Contest, see Problem G47 in this book: openlibrary.org/books/OL792783M/Contests_in_higher_mathematics – GH from MO May 7 '11 at 17:08
Interesting question. I see the lower bound 1, though 2 seems much more delicate. – Pietro Majer May 7 '11 at 17:57

Let's create a proof a la Koosis. All the techniques used below can be found in his book "The Logarithmic Integral".
Take $a>1$ and put $f(z)=a\prod_j(1+z/z_j)^{p_j}$. That is a nice analytic function and, while its absolute value is somewhat hard to understand, its argument is very simple: it is an $n$-piece piecewise linear function on the circle with slope $\frac 12 n$ (with respect to the usual circle length) and jumps at $z_j$. Let $I$ be the image of one of the arcs between two adjacent points $z_j$ and $z_{j+1}$ under the mapping $z\mapsto \operatorname{arg}f(z)$. We can transplant all functions defined on the circle arc $[z_j,z_{j+1}]$ to $I$ using this mapping. Note that the integral of any function over the arc with respect to the circle length is just $2/n$ times the integral of its transplant over $I$ with respect to the line length.
Let $\Phi$ be the transplant of $|f|$. Assume that $\Phi<2$ on $I$. The transplant of $f$ is then just $F(t)=\Phi(t)e^{it}$. The key observation is the following: $$ \int_I \log|2-F(t)|dt\ge \log 2(|I|-\pi). $$ Assuming that it is true, we conclude that the full integral of $\log|2-f|$ over the unit circle is at least $2/n$ times the sum of the right hand sides over the intervals corresponding to all arcs, which is $0$. On the other hand, if $a>1$, then $\log|2-f(0)|=\log|2-a|<0$, so $2-f$ must have a root inside the disk and the maximum principle finishes the story.
Now let us prove the observation claim. The only thing we really know about $\Phi$ is that it is log-concave and, thereby, unimodal. Fortunately, that's all we need. So, in what follows, $\Phi$ will be just any unimodal function on $I$ with values in $[0,2]$. Since we can always extend $\Phi$ by $0$ outside $I$, we can switch to any larger interval we want without making the inequality easier. So, WLOG, $I=[-2\pi n-\frac\pi 2,2\pi n+\frac\pi 2]$
Now, let us observe that for every fixed $t$, the integrand is minimized for $\Phi(t)=2\max(0,\cos t)$ (that is just the nearest point on the line) and that the farther we go away from this optimal value, the larger the integrand is. Therefore, to minimize the left hand side, we need to stay as close to the black regime on the picture (the graph of $2\cos_+ t$) as we can.
Regime comparison
Suppose that the actual $\Phi$ is given by the blue line. Then, replacing $\Phi$ by the red line $\Psi$, we come closer to the optimum at every point. But the red line consists of several full periods (horizontal pieces) and several pieces that together constitute one full positive arc of $\cos t$. Now, each full period means running over some circle around the origin, so the average value of $\log|2-\Psi(t)e^{it}|$ over each full period is exactly $\log 2$. At last, the $2\cos t$ part gives $\int_0^\pi\log (2|\sin t|)dt=0$, which is exactly the loss of $\pi \log 2$ compared to $\log 2$ times its length $\pi$.
That's it. Feel free to comment and/or ask questions.

Wow, that's pretty. – David Speyer May 24 '11 at 19:00
It looks to me like you didn't use that $\Phi<2$ in proving the "key observation"; even if the blue curve went above the top horizontal line, you could still replace the blue curve by the red curve and get your bound. So your argument shows $2-f$ has a root inside the disc (given that $f(0)$ is a real number $>1$). Am I right, or did I miss something? – David Speyer May 24 '11 at 19:46
You are right, of course. I just wanted to make it easy to switch from the picture to formulae if anybody wants such translation and to avoid questions of the kind "what if your intersection points are missing?". – fedja May 24 '11 at 19:54
Took me a while but, having eventually read carefully -- an amazing argument! You should publish it. It would be interesting to analyze what configuration of points $z_i$ and weights $p_i$ the red line corresponds to. Are there any extremal configurations other than that where the points are equally spaced, and the weights are all equal to $1$? – Seva Jun 4 '11 at 20:40
No. The extremum is unique (up to rotation, of course). As to publishing, if there are other people interested in such things, I'll probably make a short writeup and put it on ArXiV. :) – fedja Jun 5 '11 at 0:59
Here is a second proof. Let $$H(z)=\prod_j|z-z_j|^{p_j}.$$ Let $$F(z)=\prod_j\left((z-z_j)(1/z-\bar{z}_j)\right)^{p_j/n},\quad |z|\geq 1.$$ It is easy to see that: $$|F(z)|=H^{2/n}(z),\quad |z|=1,$$ and that $F$ maps conformally the exterior of the unit disc on the exterior of a "star" consisting of $n$ straight segments $[0,a_j]$ with some complex $a_j$. Moreover, $F(z)\sim z$ as $z$ tends to infinity.
Now we see that the result is equivalent to the following theorem of Dubinin: Let $K$ be the union of some intervals of the form $[0,a_j]$, and suppose that capacity of $K$ is $1$. Then $\max_j|a_j|$ takes its minimal value when the star is symmetric: all |a_j| are equal and the angles between adjacent intervals are equal.
The reference is Dubinin, Uspekhi Mat. Nauk (=Russian Math. Surveys), 49 (1994). Fedja's proof is much simpler, so it is a new proof of Dubinin's

The North Carolina
Cities and Towns in Wilkes County
The act establishing the county stipulated that the first court was to be held at the home of John Brown. Commissioners were named to select a place centrally located for the construction of a courthouse, prison, and stocks. The second court was held June 1, 1778, in the "bent of the Yadkin." The next day, it was held at Mulberry Field Meeting House. One June 3, the commissioners who were to select a site for the county seat reported, "We, the commissioners appointed by act of Assembly to lay out and appoint pillory and stocks of the said county, have met and materially considered the same, do adjudge and appoint the place where the Mulbury Meeting House stands as the most central, suitable, and proper place whereon to locate public buildings." In September, 1778, court was held at the courthouse in Wilkes. In 1795, an act was passed naming new commissioners to select a site for the erection of a courthouse, pillory, and stocks. It also named commissioners to purchase fifty acres of land on which to lay out a town and to erect public buildings. By 1801, Wilkesborough had been laid out at the courthouse. In 1823, an act was passed authorizing a new courthouse to be erected on the public square in Wilkesboro, which has served as the county seat ever since.
Another famous inmate was that of North Carolina's famous escape artist, "Otto Wood." The building was restored to its original state using as much of the original materials as possible. Access to the cells are through the original iron and wood doors. The Old Wilkes County Jail is one of the best-preserved examples of nineteenth century penal architecture in North Carolina. Of particular note is the survival of its primitive security, including the front door which contains nails an inch apart so that if a prisoner got hold of an object that he could not saw his way out of the building.
The act establishing Wilkes County stated that the first court would be held at the home of John Brown located at the bend of the Yadkin River on March 2, 1778. Commissioners were named to select a place centrally located for the erection of a courthouse, prison and stocks. On June 2, 1778, Mulberry Field Meeting House was chosen to serve as the courthouse.
During the Revolutionary War, the Mulberry Fields area was a common mustering site for the Wilkes County Militia. The Mulberry Meeting House was a common meeting place to discuss local government issues of the day.
In 1795, an act was passed naming new commissioners to purchase fifty acres of land on which to lay out a town and erect public buildings. Mulberry Fields became Wilkesboro in 1800 when the town was laid out by William Lenoir. Lenoir refused to allow the town to be named after himself. Later, following his death, the next town up the road was named for Lenoir.
Wilkes County has a rich and varied history involving the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
As of the census of 2000, there were 65,632 people, 26,650 households, and 19,321 families residing in the county. The population density was 87 people per square mile (33/km²). There were 29,261 housing units at an average density of 39 per square mile (15/km²). The racial makeup of the county was 92.95% White, 4.16% Black or African American, 0.14% Native American, 0.32% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 1.71% from other races, and 0.66% from two or more races. 3.45% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There were 26,650 households out of which 30.20% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 59.10% were married couples living together, 9.40% had a female householder with no husband present, and 27.50% were non-families. 24.50% of all households were made up of individuals and 10.00% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.43 and the average family size was 2.87.
In the county the population was spread out with 22.60% under the age of 18, 7.90% from 18 to 24, 29.70% from 25 to 44, 25.70% from 45 to 64, and 14.10% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 38 years. For every 100 females there were 97.30 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 95.70 males.
The median income for a household in the county was $34,258, and the median income for a family was $40,607. Males had a median income of $27,346 versus $21,089 for females. The per capita income for the county was $17,516. About 8.80% of families and 11.90% of the population were below the poverty line, including 13.20% of those under age 18 and 17.20% of those age 65 or over.- Source: Wikipedia


I am working on a project that will involve having several RPi kiosks set up across a college campus. In the rare event that someone might accidentally/maliciously disconnect the power cord from one of the RPis, the associated kiosk would obviously stop working.
I would like to automatically get email notifications if this happens so that I would be aware of it immediately, but I don't know how to do this or even if it is possible. Any ideas?

 this is called a "dead man's switch". if it's web-accessible there are a lot of options. but to tell that something is dead you need a nondead device watching it. dead servers don't talk. – tedder42 Jun 4 '16 at 0:35
It's certainly possible, but it'll require additional hardware. Once the RPi loses power, that's it. Just like your desktop, there's no magical way for the RPi to do anything (like send a notification) once the power is gone.
You could add a small UPS to the RPi. There are a few that are even designed specifically for the RPi, like this one. If the power goes out, the UPS will send a notification to the RPi. Then the RPi can handle sending a message across the network. If you're fast enough, the RPi may never experience downtime. If you're not fast enough, the RPi can gracefully shutdown.
Alternatively, you could add microcontroller to monitor the power and send a message if needed. Something like this should be able to run off a battery for along time.
I think the best and simplest option though would be to ping the RPi on a set schedule. Since your RPi is a network attached kiosk, you obviously can contact it through said network. Why not just setup a handshake every 1/5/60/whatever minutes? This could be as simple as a script on your server or even desktop workstation that just pings a list of IPs/Hosts and then notifies you which ones don't answer.
 1. Create an AWS account.
 2. Create a tiny text file that just contains something like "hello" or "alive"
 3. Create a S3 bucket for your project. Copy your tiny text file N times into that bucket, once for each Pi that you need to keep status on. Use unique filenames like pi1, pi2, pi3,..., piN.
 4. On each pi, create a simple shell script run by cron every minute that grabs that pi's text file via wget or curl.
 5. Enable S3 access logging
 6. On a separate Pi or an EC2 instance, write a script that regularly downloads the S3 logs and checks to see that all of the pi files have been recently accessed. Note that S3 access logging isn't instantaneous, so you may have a 20-30 minute lag before you discover that one of your Pis is down.
There are commercial server monitoring services like New Relic, but they may be too expensive for your application.

Ever heard of the fight-or-flight response? When you are looking down the throat of a hungry tiger, your body instinctively goes into red alert. You need to run, so your muscles get a boost, as do your heart and lungs to supply oxygen. On the other hand, everything not immediately necessary gets cast aside. That includes your guts, kidneys and reproductive organs among others.
Your kidneys are pretty much a bunch of tiny pumps attached to each other. Your bladder is a water balloon at the end of the pump. A bigger balloon is harder to pump into, but usually your kidneys can handle it. But now that we are in power-saving mode, suddenly your kidneys are hungry and tired.
It would be like if you only had 110V for a 220V pump. So your body decides to empty the balloon so your pump can work with less energy. Cue the feeling – 'I need to pee'.
On a side note, people wetting themselves has a bit different reason. When normal fight-or-flight is activated your body typically uses the sympathetic (excitement) nervous system. But when you are surprised, your body actually relaxes – this is because your parasympathetic (relaxation) nervous system also received a jolt. The parasympathetic nervous system happens to cover your bladder sphincters, and with a big enough jolt, the floodgates will open.

Preliminary investigation of the normal vibrations of white tin
Summers, Thomas W
Houston, William V.
Master of Arts
This paper has as its object the preliminary work required for a proposed investigation of the vibrational spectra. The main body of the paper is divided into three sections. The first is an outline of the theory of normal vibrations. The second is the application of the theory to tetragonal white tin. The third is a summary of results. In its most modern form, the theory is to be found in a paper of Born and Begbie, Applications of the theory to various solids are to be found in papers of Eellermann, Smith and Curien. Other papers of particular interest include those of Blackman, Montroll, Houston and Kroll. The series of papers by Blackman deserve special study since his work provided the first quantitative measure of the defect in the Debeye continuum theory. Houston's paper proposed a method of approximating the frequency distribution. The interesting work of Montroll and of Kroll treat the problem by taking the specific heat as a given function and solving an integral equation for the frequency distribution.

Odor artist Sissel Tolaas and researcher Christina Agapakis took this idea and ran with it, with their project Synthetic Aesthetics. The duo used bacteria isolated from human hands, feet, noses, and armpits to generate cheese!
Many cheeses, like beer, wine, and yogurt, are the product of fermentation. Fermentation occurs when microorganisms such as yeast and bacteria convert carbohydrates such as sugar into alcohols, gasses, and acids to generate energy in the absence of oxygen. One common cheese-making type of bacterium, Lactobacillus, breaks down lactose, the primary milk sugar, to lactic acid. This results in lowering the pH of the milk, which as pointed out in a previous post, causes coagulation and solidification into cheese. The work of microorganisms in cheese also results in the creation of many other byproducts that give cheeses their unique smell, texture, and flavor profiles. For example, the bacterium, Propionibacterium freudenreichii, generates carbon dioxide gas in the process of making swiss cheese and causes its characteristic holes. Penicillium roqueforti, which is related to the fungus that helps produce the antibiotic, penicillin, gives blue cheese it's distinct aroma and look.
Microorganisms that use fermentation are found everywhere. Tolaas and Agapakis realized that the human body shared many characteristics with the environments for creating cheese. On a hot day or before a hot date, your armpits may be just as warm and moist as an industrial cheese incubator. Furthermore, cheese-making bacteria like Lactobacillus are common inhabitants in the mammalian gut. With this information, they isolated bacteria from hands, feet, noses, and armpits and added them to whole milk to serve as starter cultures.
|Figure 2. Samples prepped for the smell survey. Participants of the survey were asked to smell the samples and provide a description of the odors they detected.|
Here are the results:
|yeast, ocean salt, sour old cheese, feet|
|sweat, big toe nail, cat feet, sweet, milky, orange juice in the fridge too long, fungus, buttery cheese, soapy, light perfume|
|Feta cheese, Turkish shop, nutty, fruity, fishy|
|cheesy feet, cow, cheese factory, old subway station, toilet cleaner|
|neutral, perfumed, industrial, synthetic, fermentation, car pollution, burning, sharp, chemical|
|neutral, sour, floral, smooth, yogurt|
|yeast, jam, feet, putrid, sour, rotten|
|Armpit-4||Enterococcus faecalis||yogurt, sour, fresh cream, butter, whey|
The cheeses displayed a diverse range of bacterial species and odors. Interestingly while some cheeses smelled like "old subway station" or "cat feet," others exuded the familiar & appetizing flavors of "yogurt," "feta cheese," and "light perfume." Furthermore, some of the bacteria isolated were common to various cheeses. For example, Enterococcus faecalis is a lactic acid bacterium found in raw milk and cheeses, like farmhouse cheddar varieties. Proteus mirabilis is related to Proteus vulgaris, which is responsible for giving surface-ripened cheeses like Limburger and Munster a strong aroma.
While these bacterial cultures may not serve as the basis of a new type of artisan cheese, Agapakis notes:
"These cheeses are scientific as well as artistic objects, challenging us to rethink our relationship with our bacteria and with our biotechnology.... The cross-over between bacteria found on cheese and on human skin offers a tantalizing hint at how our bacterial symbiotes have come to be part of our culinary cultures."
In the face of diminishing resources, we are reminded that untapped reservoirs, which may be literally under our noses, might contain hidden treasures that could change the way we generate and produce food.

The notebook is also a reason, especially for the metal shell of the notebook, the opportunity to produce condensate, and produced such as Samsung Laptop Keyboard more number. In addition to the surface, inside the machine may also be caused by this phenomenon, so you can not underestimate this thin layer of condensed water, this layer of condensed water may be completely hurt the yf976 of the notebook. The condensate can be described as all-pervasive, and exposed to the air are likely to produce condensate, including motherboard, CPU and other important parts of the boot at this time, the consequences can be imagined.
In winter, the condensate is the most easily neglected a laptop killer, many people pay no attention to the details of the use and placement of notebook will have the notebook will cause devastation.
In order not to generate the best way of condensate, the first is not to buy a cotton inner bag for notebook notebook too cold, should be targeted. When the laptop in a cold outdoor environment for a long time, once to enter the warmth and humidity of the room must patiently wait for some time, slowly warming package, including Samsung Laptop Keyboard , do not immediately use the laptop. Such surface will not be instantaneous temperature difference, so it does not produce the condensate. Many of my friends, if there is no cotton package can also enter the room laptop backpack to open a small hole to allow air circulation about slowly warming, as long as it does not produce significant temperature difference there will be no condensation of water.

The magic of fire has fascinated people from the very beginning of time, and ear candles evoke a similar fascination, having been used by many cultures since ancient times. The peoples of the Siberian prairies, Asia and native North and South American Indians mention ear candles in their myths, with ancient rock paintings showing ear candles being used at initiation rituals and medicinal ceremonies.
The healing properties of the ear candle work in two ways. Firstly, the slight pressure (the chimney effect) inside the ear candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the eardrum and promote secretion in the frontal and par nasal sinuses. This immediately regulates ear pressure. Users often describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear/head area. Secondly, the warmth stimulates vascularization, invigorates the immune system and stimulates the flow of lymph. At the same time important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated.
Many people that have tried ear candles have reported improved hearing and sinuses, as well as improvements in reduction of headaches and migraines. Numerous people report that after using them only once or twice, their sinuses greatly improve, with some people noticing immediate loss of sinusitis and earache!
There is even a theory that the use of ear candles aids the body in the generation of small crystals within the inner ear, that whilst occurring naturally if increased in number, also improve our overall sense of balance.
Although companies do not make specific claims as to what ear candles can cure, there is definitely an increasing number of people around the world using ear candles and benefitting from their use.


Everyday vs. Every Day: One Word or Two?
A Fun Lesson to Learn the Difference!
In the 17 years I've been teaching English (or "ELA" as we cool kids call it), I've found that one of the most confusing concepts for students to learn while editing writing is whether to use "everyday" (one word) or "every day" (two words). Which is correct?
Everyday vs. Every Day
Everyday vs. Every Day: Learn which to use!
"Everyday" vs. "Every Day" Depends on Context
The answer to the "everyday vs. every day" battle depends on what you're trying to say, and where the word (or words) will be placed in the sentence. Yes, those two phrases have distinct definitions and parts of speech, meaning they are used in different ways. If the words are plopped in the wrong place, the writing won't work… so let's figure out how to use them correctly.
Everyday vs. every day example
An example of everyday vs. every day.
"Everyday" Definition and Correct Use
The word "everyday" (written as one word with no space in the middle) is an adjective: a describing word that goes before a noun. What's the definition of "everyday?" It means: ordinary, commonplace, normal, basic, or typical — used or seen on a daily basis. Something that is described as "everyday" is not fancy or special, because it's frequently in use in one's ongoing routine.
Examples of "Everyday" in Sentences:
His everyday routine involves exercise, meditation, and eating lots of fruits and veggies. He knows that taking care of his physical self on a daily basis makes a huge positive difference in happiness and productivity.
"Honey, you can't wear your everyday shoes to our wedding! They're disgusting and scuffed up, and everyone will think you're a slob who doesn't care about our marriage!"
She decided not to take her everyday route home on Thursday, because she heard there was a purple whale spotted near the beach, and she hoped to catch a glimpse by driving near the shore.
Is everyday one word? Sentence example.
A sentence using "everyday" and "every day" correctly.
"Every Day" Meaning and Correct Use
When written as two words, "every day" is an adverbial phrase made of an adjective ("every") and noun ("day") which is used to describe how often something is done. It is the answer to questions about frequency. The definition of "every day" is: daily, each day, or every single day.
"Every Day" Examples in Sentences:
I eat four pumpkins every day because I am actually Pumpkin Monster.
"I did my homework on time every day this week! I feel so proud of myself, and my school grades are going up and up."
Every day that I'm far away from my dragon, my heart aches with longing
Everyday vs. Every Day VIDEO:
Tricks to Know Whether to Use One Word or Two
What are techniques to remember the difference between these commonly confused phrases? If you're looking to place the word(s) before a noun to mean "normal" or "typical," use "everyday." If you're writing something to answer the question "how often?" use "every day."
Another trick to double check if "every day" is correct in the sentence is to replace it with "each day" or to put "single" in the space so it becomes "every single day." If the sentence still makes sense with that replacement, "every day" is correct.
Sentences with Everyday AND Every Day
Ready for a wild ride? Let's use BOTH "everyday" and "every day" correctly in sentences to get into the groove. This should help solve the dilemma for whether to use one word or two.
"You tell me every day that you love me exactly as I am, so why CAN'T I wear my everyday shoes to our wedding? Scruffy is just who I am! I've got to be true to myself, and I refuse to apologize for my fashion choices."
After a while, the grumpy octopus realized that his everyday hat was too tight. Every day in October, he went to different stores, looking for a new outfit that would feel more comfortable. Finally in November, he found one!
Every day that he practices making creative drawings, he becomes happier. Making art into an everyday habit has so many positive benefits.
I got so used to drinking coffee every day that it became an everyday need — one I couldn't function without. As a result, I decided I needed to quit coffee so as not to be so dependent.

Detailed meaning of the tap tea leaf symbol
Top of teacup: the tap at the top of the teacup means that you have managed to be where you are due to being able to control your life positively. Though there have been several issues that have arisen along the way, you are able to overcome them because of your strong will to succeed in life.
Help those who have a weak self-will and let them know that, you have to be strong to enable them to rise above the hurdles and come out victorious.

Work out how people around you have achieved success as soon as possible.
Bottom of teacup: a tap at the bottom of the teacup denotes that you lack what it takes to become successful in life. Your personality defines a person who is worried about failure. If you are not comfortable with your own personality and approach to life, why not review things better. The key to success or failure squarely lies with you. You need to choose what you want. As of now, you are in the key to success, but you can turn it around and make sure that you are successful. All you need to do is start working hard, and success will follow you.
Scattered in the cup: scattered taps in your teacup is a good sign as it means that, you have several outlets where you are obtaining your success in life. Share your successes with others who find it hard to travel the path to success; get them to know the rough potholes that they will encounter and how they can go around it and make it to the top of their goals.
Conclusion: the power to succeed or fail in life squarely lies with you.
You have the power to make your life a success and become a shining example to everyone. You also have the power for failure and make sure you use your positive thinking power.

Portals, Video, 3:55, 2016
My video installation project Portals revolves around the moments when social media platforms accidentally record someone's death. Social media apps are now recording our every waking moment, including sometimes the accidental capture of the recorder's own death. Their lives are put on display using apps like Periscope, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. These videos are recorded from a first person perspective, from the eyes of the victim. What interests me is not the actual moment of death, but what the device captures after all movement has stopped. Typically these videos are shaky and chaotic, but then once the device reaches its final resting point, there is this eerie stillness about the video. What is captured is usually a crisp blue sky, with clouds passing by. Is the victim still conscious at this moment and viewing the sky with us? Is this the last thing they saw before they died? Can this sky be viewed as a portal in a sense to the next place for this body? By making the viewer aware of these moments in between life and death, we can cope with our understanding of the physical process of death.
My intention is to investigate these questions further by projecting these video portals onto various doors or vertical shaped areas. These videos feature social media clips transformed into portals that the viewer becomes immersed in. The idea is to have the three videos scattered in various, so that visitors can encounter them while they wander. All of these videos are surreal in nature, and put into question those moments between when we are living and when we have passed on.

D'Arvit is the most commonly used Gnommish word in the Artemis Fowl series. We know it's a swear word from the first time it's introduced:
"D'Arvit!" growled Root. (There is no point translating that word as it would have to be censored.)
-- Artemis Fowl, Chapter 5: Missing in Action (emphasis mine)
And from one of the later books:
"Hurkk," said Artemis half-choking with surprise.
"D'Arvit," swore Holly.
I think we all know what D'Arvit means," said No.1. "But hurkk is not English.
-- AF and the Time Paradox, Chapter 5: I Now Pronounce You (emphasis mine)
Is the actual meaning of the word D'Arvit ever revealed or implied? Perhaps some hints are dropped from which its general ballpark can be deduced (e.g. is it sexual? does it refer to bodily waste?) Or perhaps Colfer has said something about this in an interview?
From here:
Despite popular belief D'arvit was not the creation of popular Irish author Eoin Colfer. In the Aran islands their is a legend that a dark banshee (Banshee which goes against the laws of magic) will rip your soul from your body when your alone regardless of whether your dieing or not and u feel a chill run up your spine a dark banshee is near and the only way to protect yourself would be to utter "Dh'ábhoit". The folklore was told all over the provinces of Connacht and Munster but during the English conquest by Henry the VIII. It was anglicized as "d'arvit".which is pronounced the same as the original and now its mainly used in Gaeltacht of Connacht as a form of a curse or cuss, in english or Gaelic (Irish). The word is seen as the equivilant of "Fuck" due to its versatility. Some see it's new found popularity as a curse on the Irish Language while some see it as a piece of Irish everywhere. It's use outside of Ireland is rare though.
However, this is pretty questionable.
The Internet invented an unverifiable legend for the fairy swear word "D'Arvit."
I know that I've tried a few Gaelic dictionaries (including some specific to the Connacht dialect) and come up with no matches.
