Airless paint sprayers come in many different configurations and designs but all have the same general features and controls. The basic idea behind how a sprayers works is that it pumps the paint and forces it out a very small tip on the spray gun. There is no air or air compressor involved, hence the name "airless" paint sprayer. They will apply a lot of paint very quickly and can make a tedious job very easy and quick.
 1. 1
 Prepare the surface for painting. Cover any and all things that are not to be painted, including yourself. When spraying, there will be misting/fogging and this paint will end up everywhere. It has the same characteristics as fine sheetrock dust and will float and settle. Light synthetic coveralls should be worn along with spray hood, safety glasses and respirator.
 - If painting inside, cover/mask floors, walls, light fixtures, doorknobs, hinges, light switches, etc.
 - If painting outside, the paint you spray 15 or 20 feet (4.6 or 6.1 m) up onto a second story can float and carry in the wind. Cover all landscaping, neighbors' house, fences, etc.
 2. 2
 3. 3
 4. 4
 Release the trigger and then stop motion of your hand to stop painting.
 5. 5
 When you are finished painting, thoroughly clean the sprayer. All the paint must be cleaned out after each use.
 - Never mix oil-based paint with water or latex paint and never mix paint thinner with latex paint.
 - The tip where the paint comes out is extremely small and prone to clogging. Any small piece of dust or sand or dried paint will clog the spray tip. To help minimize this problem strain the paint whenever possible with a synthetic paint strainer (never use cheesecloth). When renting or buying a sprayer, always get one with a reversible tip installed. If you get a clog, this allows you to quickly reverse the spray tip, clear out the clog, reverse it back and proceed with painting.
 - Treat your airless sprayer like a tool that can cause a mess. Be careful to keep children and untrained people away.
 - Airless paint sprayers operate at very high pressures and can very easily cause injures if you were to spray your skin or any part of your body. You may actually inject paint into your tissues or bloodstream through your skin without having an obvious cut or bleeding. The skin can open up and allow the passage of the paint through and then close off again making it appear that nothing is wrong. This is a "fluid injection injury", and should be treated by a professional immediately.
 - Even when a sprayer is off and unplugged it can have pressure trapped in the machine until it has been released. Always make sure that each time you turn off the machine, you release the pressure in the system by opening the prime valve or by pulling the trigger on the spray gun and spraying into an empty bucket.
 - Airless Paint Sprayers are able to spray a wide variety of paint products but do not spray coatings with textures or grits.

NG35. Ellipsis in coordination
ellipsis cowIn previous posts we've looked at how AGENT, THEME and GOAL may encompass more than one noun and also at multiple pairings of THEME + GOAL. We now look at coordination of more complex groupings. These are treated as multiple clauses with material needing to be projected from one to another.
Projecting forwards
A sentence such as (125) from LS34 may be thought of as a series of clauses of which the later ones have some material brought forward from the first and that material therefore need not be repeated in the phonological stream.
(125) John gave Mary bananas Odette damsons and…
In (125) it is subject and verb that are shared. (122) from LS34 is similar but neater, having only two clauses:
(122) John gave Mary apples and Nancy bananas
It is possible to share just subject:
(126) John gave Mary apples and sold Nancy bananas
It is also possible to share just verb:
(127) John gave Mary apples and Ken Nancy bananas
Sentence (127) shows that ellipsis of the verb may occur with an explicit subject at the left of the clause. But consider:
(128) John gave Mary apples and Ken bananas
Sentence (128) does not have the meaning John gave Mary apples and Ken gave Mary bananas. Explicit Ken is to the left of omitted Mary. Evidently ellipsis of nouns in later clauses occurs only to the left of explicit material.
The problem is accounting for the propositions delivered to cognition for the later clause. In every case, one or more propositions include one concept from the explicit material and another concept brought forward from the first clause.
Projecting backwards
As well as material from an earlier clause being projected forwards, it is possible for material in a later clause to be projected backwards. In (129), John is also the subject of sold and Mary is also the indirect-object of gave.
(129) John gave apples and sold bananas to Mary
Sentence (130) shows apples being projected backwards as the direct-object of gave.
(130) John gave (to) Mary and sold (to) Nancy apples
The simplest explanation is that if cognition has VERB1 / AGENT / NOUN1, then delivering VERB2 / COORD / VERB1 entails VERB2 / AGENT / NOUN1 unless overridden by another noun local to verb2. And similarly if cognition has VERB2 / COORD / VERB1, then delivering VERB2 / THEME (or GOAL) / NOUN1 entails VERB1 / THEME (or GOAL) / NOUN1 unless overridden.
This is feasible if it is assumed that COORD is a 'reversible' REL, i.e. the two concepts it links can be either QUO and SIC or SIC and QUO. Sentence (129) delivers propositions arranged thus:
SELL / AGENT / JOHN and GIVE / GOAL / MARY are enabled via the COORD link. But SELL / THEME / APPLE is overridden by SELL / THEME / BANANA, and GIVE / THEME / BANANA is overridden by GIVE / THEME / APPLE.
The diagram makes it look as if SELL forms part of the realisation of GIVE and vice versa. Both realisations are activated at almost the same instant, so this may not be an issue. But if cognition can't cope with that, then the simple solution would be for the GIVE and SELL nodes shown here to be temporary tokens each linked to the appropriate permanent concept. Those links would use the same distinctive relation (TYPE perhaps) and the two links would override each other, in the same way as do the THEME links.
The analysis for (129) is as follows.
(129) John gave apples and sold bananas to Mary
SELL / AGENT / JOHN and GIVE / GOAL / MARY do not appear in the table. They take effect by the delivery to cognition of SELL / COORD / GIVE combined with GIVE / AGENT / JOHN and with SELL / GOAL / MARY.
Type of coordination
There are two new ideas in the analysis of (129). The first is that the junction apples__and delivers directly a proposition showing the type of coordination currently in play (differentiating from or, for example). Note that and is the dependent here. In pre-verb contexts it is always parent in (noun)__and junctions. The apple concept plays no part in the proposition; (any word)__and is the fastest way to derive the proposition and apples happens to be the closest word.
The type of coordination can change within a string of items:
(131) John gave Mary apples and Nancy bananas or Odette cherries
This approach suggests that the scope of coordination is determined by there being only one conjunction effective at one time in left-to-right processing. In (131), brackets that might be explicit in a formal language are notionally around Mary apples and Nancy bananas, not around Nancy bananas or Odette cherries. This is a big topic but will not be pursued further in LanguidSlog.
There is no and__Nancy junction with and as parent. In any case, Nancy as dependent in that junction would rule out gave__Nancy, which is essential for the analysis.
One interesting consequence is that, even without and, coordination can occur – although of an unspecified type. Presumably COORD / HASP / AND is the mind's default setting. This aligns with native-speaker intuition that, with and nowhere, John gave Mary apples Nancy bananas Odette cherries is OK.
At clause-end
The other new idea in the analysis of (129) concerns what else happens when the first clause ends. The apples__and junction marks the end of the clause. Clause-end (the heavy horizontal line in the table) forces consolidation of APPLE on THEME – in the same way that sentence-end would.
At that point some or all of AGENT, THEME and GOAL propositions have been delivered. In the following clause some or all of AGENT, THEME and GOAL propositions will be (re)constituted and delivered.
Propositions 1, 2 and 3 are therefore cleared of activation and SIC concepts in readiness for that. In general, the QUO and REL concepts are retained because the same verb may be used in the following clause. This is reasonable because the QUO concept is from the verb which will not have acted as dependent in any junction. Therefore the verb will not have had its activation depleted (an assumption already made in LanguidSlog).
For (129) this is not shown because the start of the clause is immediately signalled by a new verb, needing its own set of arguments. In (129) another ditransitive, sold, has the same set as would have been brought forward from the gave clause.
Depletion of the activation on the complement material for the first clause presumably means it disappears from the sentence being processed. For (122), this would leave John gave Nancy bananas. There is no searching for (noun)__(noun) junctions between complements and no need to account for Mary__Nancy and apples__bananas (both of which must be available) not being actioned.
How the material disappears needs further thought. There can be an adjunct (preposition phrase or subordinate clause) following the first clause's second noun and qualifying it. The last noun cannot disappear before the junction connecting the adjunct has been processed, but the adjunct material also needs to disappear to avoid spurious junctions being actioned later.
More to come
At this point a means by which material can be projected from one clause to another has been established. Next week the discussion will focus on how the material that is explicitly coordinated is used to form the correct propositions. And after that, at least two more LanguidSlog posts will be needed to finish outlining coordination.

In a shocking revelation of human brutality, a horrifying video has surfaced that depicts a spine-chilling incident: a man ruthlessly hacking his own wife with a machete. This act Man hacked his wife with a mach3te of violence, captured on camera, has sent shockwaves through society, forcing us to confront the harsh realities that lurk behind closed doors. This article delves deep into the disturbing incident, analyzing the video, examining its context, and shedding light on the broader issues it raises. Following weescape.vn!
I. The Ghastly Act Unveiled: "Man Hacked His Wife with a Mach3te"
In the era of digital connectivity, where information travels at the speed of a click, a harrowing incident has emerged that has left an entire nation in a state of shock and disbelief. The video depicting the gruesome act of a man hacking his own wife with a machete has reverberated across screens and social media platforms, gripping the collective conscience with a chilling intensity. The video's viral impact has transcended geographical boundaries, forcing viewers to confront the dark underbelly of human behavior.
1. The Video's Viral Impact: A Nation Left Horrified and Speechless
As the video spread like wildfire across the virtual realm, its sinister content left an indelible mark on the minds of those who witnessed it. The visual imagery of an enraged man relentlessly striking a woman with a machete in broad daylight has ignited a wave of shock and outrage. The video's virality can be attributed to both the unprecedented nature of the violence and the unsettling ease with which it was captured on camera.

In this section, we delve into the gut-wrenching details of the incident that have propelled it beyond the confines of mere news to a topic that demands urgent introspection and action. The graphic nature of the attack, coupled with its public dissemination, has forced society to grapple with its responsibility in preventing such atrocities and providing a safe haven for victims.
Stay tuned as we continue to explore the various dimensions of this incident, from its underlying causes to its legal consequences, aiming to shed light on a broader dialogue about domestic violence and the pressing need for societal change.
II. Analyzing the Horrific Footage: Unearthing the Details
The chilling footage that captured the horrific incident of a man hacking his wife with a machete has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness. This section delves deep into the video, piecing together the sequence of events and dissecting the contextual layers that make this act of violence all the more disturbing.
1. Broad Daylight Brutality: The Shocking Context of the Attack
The brazenness of the attack, which unfolded in the broad daylight of Hubbali's Deshpande Nagar, adds an unsettling layer to the already horrifying scene. The fact that this act of violence occurred in a public space, amidst the presence of potential witnesses, raises questions about the audacity of the perpetrator and the sense of impunity that often accompanies such heinous acts. The attack not only victimizes the woman but also challenges our collective understanding of safety within our own communities.
2. Relentless Assault: Unraveling the Chilling Sequence of Events
The video captures a relentless assault that spans agonizing moments. The machete-wielding man strikes his wife with brutal force, each blow etching an indelible scar on the victim's body and the collective conscience of those who bear witness. The sequence of events unravels like a nightmare, leaving viewers with a sense of helplessness and disbelief. The visuals expose the stark reality of domestic violence that often remains hidden behind closed doors, bringing it into the unforgiving light of day.
3. Desperate Cries for Help: The Haunting Soundtrack of the Video
As the machete strikes mercilessly, the video's audio is dominated by the woman's anguished cries for help. These desperate pleas for mercy reverberate through the screen, a haunting reminder of the terror she experienced in those harrowing moments. The soundtrack of her suffering serves as a chilling backdrop, underscoring the urgency of addressing domestic violence and the need for society to stand up against such brutality.
In this section, we navigate the harrowing details of the video, offering insights into the environment in which this act of violence unfolded and the emotional impact it leaves on both the victim and those who bear witness. The analysis of the footage serves as a somber reminder that such incidents are not isolated occurrences but manifestations of deeper issues that require a comprehensive response from society.
III. Behind Closed Doors: Unraveling the Motive and Relationship
Peering beyond the shocking visuals of the video, we delve into the intricate web of relationships and emotions that culminated in the gruesome act of a man hacking his wife with a machete. This section seeks to shed light on the complex interplay of factors that contributed to this tragic incident.
1. Love Turned Deadly: Uncovering the Dynamics Between the Couple
Behind the veneer of love that may have once united them, the relationship between the man and the woman took a sinister turn. Investigating the dynamics that transpired between the two individuals reveals a story marked by both affection and turmoil. Love, at times, can be a complex and multifaceted emotion, susceptible to transformation under the influence of external stressors and internal struggles. Unraveling the evolution of their relationship offers insights into the emotional terrain that ultimately led to the harrowing act captured on camera.
2. The Motive Unveiled: Investigating the Triggers Behind the Attack
What drives a person to commit such a horrific act of violence against someone they were once emotionally connected to? As the layers of this tragic incident are peeled back, it becomes imperative to scrutinize the motives that may have propelled the man to commit such a violent act. Triggers such as jealousy, anger, perceived betrayal, or even psychological factors might have contributed to the eruption of violence. Unmasking these triggers not only helps us understand the specific circumstances but also highlights the need for early intervention and support mechanisms to prevent such occurrences in the future.
In this section, we embark on a journey of introspection into the intricacies of relationships and human emotions. By delving into the complex interplay of factors that shaped the events leading to the attack, we aim to underscore the importance of empathy, communication, and psychological support in preventing such devastating outcomes.
IV. Society's Stifled Voice: The Bystander Effect in Action
The haunting video of a man hacking his wife with a machete not only reveals the horror of the act itself but also exposes the unsettling phenomenon known as the bystander effect. This section delves into the deeply troubling reactions – or lack thereof – from onlookers, shedding light on the social dynamics that perpetuate silence in the face of violence.
1. Echoes of Silence: The Disturbing Lack of Intervention
As the video plays out, what is perhaps equally unsettling is the absence of intervention from those present at the scene. The video captures the disturbing reality of bystanders who, despite witnessing the brutal assault, refrain from stepping in to stop the violence or aid the victim. This inaction, born from the bystander effect, highlights the psychological mechanisms that inhibit individuals from taking action in situations where intervention is crucial.
2. Collective Responsibility: Addressing the Societal Indifference
The bystander effect is a stark reminder that the responsibility to create a safer society does not solely lie with the victim or the perpetrator; it extends to the collective. Society's indifference or hesitation to intervene in moments of crisis perpetuates a culture that allows violence to fester behind closed doors. This section underscores the collective responsibility we all bear in preventing such incidents. By addressing the bystander effect, we can initiate conversations about empathy, intervention, and community support that are essential in breaking the cycle of violence.
In this section, we confront the chilling reality of societal silence and inaction. By examining the bystander effect in the context of this incident, we hope to stimulate thought about our own roles in creating a more compassionate and responsive society – one that refuses to tolerate violence and strives to protect the vulnerable.
V. Justice Demanded: Legal Ramifications and Future Prospects
The video depicting a man hacking his wife with a machete has not only shocked the nation but has also set in motion a pursuit for justice. In this section, we explore the legal journey that follows such a heinous act, as well as the broader societal implications that stem from seeking accountability.
1. The Accused and Consequences: Tracing the Path of the Attacker
The man captured in the video, identified as Ismail K Kukura, now stands as the accused. His arrest signals the first step towards accountability for his violent actions. The legal process, while crucial in delivering justice, also serves to unmask the individual behind the brutality. This section delves into his background, motives, and potential repercussions, as we seek to understand the human elements that contribute to such devastating incidents.

Strict scrutiny is a form of judicial review that courts use to determine the constitutionality of certain laws. To pass strict scrutiny, the legislature must have passed the law to further a "compelling governmental interest," and must have narrowly tailored the law to achieve that interest. A famous quip asserts that strict scrutiny is "strict in name, but fatal in practice."
For a court to apply strict scrutiny, the legislature must either have significantly abridged a fundamental right with the law's enactment or have passed a law that involves a suspect classification. Suspect classifications have come to include race, national origin, religion, alienage, and poverty.
Compare to intermediate scrutiny and rational basis.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A legal standard to determine the constitutionality of a statute, used when the statute implicates a fundamental right or relates to a suspect classification under the equal protection clause (such as race). To determine if a statute passes the test, a court considers whether the government has a compelling interest in creating the law, whether the statute is "narrowly tailored" to meet the government's objectives, and whether there are less restrictive means of accomplishing the same thing.

What is the Difference Between Football and Baseball Cleats?
A misconception that many people have is that football and baseball cleats are the same. That could not be farther from the truth. While the primary purpose of these sports cleats is to provide traction on the field, they have different features and serve distinct functions to their wearer.
Can I Wear Football Cleats for Baseball?
Football cleats are known for being on the heavier side. They are designed to help athletes withstand repeated physical contact as well as make cuts and turns easier. Since playing baseball relies more on forwarding motion and quick acceleration, football cleats are not ideal for the sport.
difference in football cleats
Baseball players can still wear football or soccer cleats. Experts recommend, though, that those playing in the infield should wear baseball cleats. The main difference between baseball and soccer cleats is that the former has cleat patterns that facilitate a more accurate grip.
Can I Wear Baseball Cleats for Football?
Football players need to wear shoes that are appropriate for their size, weight, and even position. Otherwise, it would be harder for them to endure the physical toll of banging bodies and feet on the field. So, can you wear baseball cleats for football? Simply put, you should not.
If you do not have football cleats, the next best thing to wear is soccer cleats versus baseball cleats. According to a podiatrist, this type is the most versatile cleat for kids and can be used for different kinds of sports, including football, baseball, and lacrosse.
How to Pick Out Baseball Cleats?
What are Baseball Cleats Made Out of?
The body of baseball cleats is usually created with mesh, genuine or synthetic leather materials. This allows the footwear to have more breathability and durability, helping the user perform better while playing. Synthetic or leather cleats also have improved water resistance, which is especially useful if it is rainy.
The studs at the bottom of baseball cleats can be made of different materials, including plastic, rubber, or metal. Although metal cleats are usually prohibited in youth baseball because having such material on a kids' baseball cleat might cause unnecessary injuries.
What are Football Cleats Made Out of?
Traditionally, football shoes were made of leather. But as time went by, other materials and technology, such as synthetic fiber, have been developed to optimize the performance of football players.
The studs at the bottom of football cleats can come in a variety of sizes. They can also be made of plastic or rubber. Football metal cleats have been disallowed in most leagues as it can increase the risk of injury among players.
A difference between football and baseball cleats when it comes to studs is that football spikes can be detachable. Replaceable studs present versatility, particularly in uncertain weather conditions. If the field is dry, shorter studs can be used. But on wet surfaces, longer ones can be installed.
Demo on Customizing Football Cleats
Baseball vs. Football Cleats (The Differences)
In this part, we delve deeper into what is the difference between baseball and football cleats and understand why the two sports footwear should not be deemed interchangeable.
Weight of Cleats
Football cleats tend to be on the tougher and heavier side and are more supportive because of the physicality of the game. Cleats for this sport also require a much thicker material than those used in baseball to protect the feet of the players. This causes the additional weight to the cleats.
On the other hand, baseball cleats do not require too much weight to allow the players to run fast during the game. Pitchers wear shoes that are more supportive.
Midsole of Football vs Baseball Cleats
When looking for athletic shoes, it is important to check the midsole. Its function is to provide support, cushion, and shock absorption whenever there is the movement of the feet and body.
The difference between football and baseball cleats is that the latter has more midsole support. A football cleat is then less comfortable to wear than a baseball cleat.
Cleats Patterns
When it comes to patterns, there is a major difference between football cleats vs. baseball cleats.
Football shoes have larger and more rounded studs that allow a player to gain more traction and stability when running on the turf. Baseball cleats, meanwhile, are designed with razor-like studs that can dig deep into the dirt or grass and provide the player a quick first step if he needs to sprint or jump.
Front Area of the Cleats
In this area, there is not much difference between football and baseball cleats. Both sports shoes provide foot protection and have added durability thanks to a toe guard on the front area.
Ankle Support
In general, football cleats offer more ankle support than baseball cleats do.
As already mentioned, there are different types of cleats used in the sport, depending on the size and the position of the player wearing them. The variations depend on the cut of the shoes and include high-tops, mid-tops, and low-cuts.
are typically worn by defensive and offensive linemen. Those who play in these positions would need additional protection for their ankles and increased traction. Based on a study, high-top cleats are less comfortable and heavier to wear than mid-tops and low-cuts, however, they are able to "limit ankle motions associated with injury without deleteriously influencing performance."
Offer less support and more mobility than high-tops. This is the type of football cleat that running backs, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and defensive backs prefer.
Provide the least support among these types of football cleats and are worn by those who want increased speed and mobility on offense and defense.
As for baseball players, no matter their position, they do not need increased ankle support. The difference between football and baseball cleats then is that baseball shoes usually come in mid-tops and low-cuts. It is rare to see high-tops in baseball games.
Watch These Rare Custom Cleats!
Extra Toe Stud
A big difference between football and baseball cleats is the presence of an additional toe stud in baseball cleats. This allows the wearer to dig easily hit the ground running. Football cleats cannot have such a feature as it poses danger to the other players, especially since there plenty of tackles made in the field.
What Do Football Cleats Look Like on the Bottom?
The sole of a football shoe can contain seven to 14 number of studs. Near the toe part, there are typically five to 10 studs and are placed around the edge of the sole or form an H-shape. On the heel, there are generally two to four studs that can form a square. The midsoles do not have studs in most football shoes.

What Do Baseball Cleats Look Like on the Bottom?
Because there is less physical contact and motion in the sports of baseball, baseball cleats generally require a less number of studs than their football counterparts. Another answer to what is the difference between football and baseball cleats when it comes to its sole is the distinct toe stud in the latter. However, like football cleats, baseball cleats do not have studs on the midsole.

Final Thoughts
As discussed above, the differences between the two cleats are as clear as day. It is recommended then to wear the shoes appropriate for sports, especially if you are playing in a high-intensity practice or the big league.
Studies have also shown that wearing the right shoes can maximize performance and prevent injuries.

Oldest Observatory in Americas Discovered in Peru
Richard A. Lovett
for National Geographic News
|May 16, 2006|
The oldest astronomical observatory in the Western Hemisphere has been discovered on a hillside a few miles north of Lima, Peru, archaeologists recently reported.
Researchers also found ornate carvings more sophisticated than any before seen in the region.
The site dates back 4,200 years800 years before such artistic and scientific skill was previously known to have existed in the Americas.
The find was part of an ancient temple built by an unnamed civilization from Peru's "pre-ceramic" period, which predated the better-known Inca culture by thousands of years.
Temple structures, including a giant carving of what looks like a frowning face, align with the directions of sunrise and sunset at critical points in the agricultural calendar, including December 21, the start of the Southern Hemisphere's growing season, and June 21, the end of harvest.
This proves that the ancient civilization was already highly dependent on agriculture, said Robert Benfer, anthropologist at the University of Missouri, Columbia, who was one of the lead researchers of the find.
"These people went to a lot of trouble to mark the agricultural calendar," Benfer said.
(See a National Geographic magazine feature on the Andes' pre-Inca empires.)
Benfer's team also found a sculpture of a life-size musician playing a shell trumpet.
"The torso is in the round," he said, referring to the fact that the sculpture is three-dimensional and can be viewed from different angles. "The legs are over the edge of a balcony in high relief."
It's a significant artistic find because of the round torso, Benfer explained. All other known Andean sculptures from that era were two-dimensional reliefs and not done in the round.
"We were in no way prepared for finding this kind of stuff," Benfer said. "It was absolutely unexpected."
Benfer's conservation work on the sculpture was funded by the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration. (National Geographic News is part of the National Geographic Society.)
Benfer announced his discovery at an April meeting of the Society for American Archaeology in Puerto Rico.
The sculptures were beautifully preserved thanks to the temple-builders' habit of using temples for only a short time before carefully covering them up and building new ones on top.
Even so, Benfer said, archaeologists were lucky that the site hadn't been looted.
Treasure hunters had dug a 20-foot (6-meter) wide hole 7 feet (2 meters) deep into the layers above the site, he said.
The would-be looters stopped only inches from the temple.

This evidence scan describes approaches to measuring patient and carer experiences of healthcare based on evidence from 328 empirical studies. It describes a range of approaches, their benefits and limitations.
The study found that the evidence base suggests that there are 10 things that need to be considered when planning how to measure changes in patient and carer experience over time:
- Consider how patient experience is being defined to inform exactly what needs to be measured.
- Think about why patient experience is being measured and how the information will be used.
- Assess whether it would be useful to combine approaches so that both qualitative and more quantitative material is collected.
- Consider whether to ask everyone using the services or only a sample to provide feedback.
- Think about whether the best time to collect feedback is immediately after using the services, when experiences are fresh in people's minds.
- Allocate enough time at the outset to plan and test measurement methods, particularly if these will be used for many years to monitor change over time.
- Think about how the end-result needs to be presented for various audiences as this may shape how data are collected. Potential outputs include statistical averages, in-depth quotes or graphs.
- Make sure that there is appropriate infrastructure at an organisational level to analyse and use patient experience information.
- Make sure that patients, carers, managers and health professionals are all comfortable with why feedback is being collected and how it will be used. Staff need to be on board as well as patients.
- Ensure that patient experience measures are seen as one component of a broader framework of measurement and that all of the approaches work well together, without excessive burden for either staff or patients.

What is MSF rate?
Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) is the rate at which RBI lends funds overnight to the banks, which are included in the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, against government securities.
What does SLR mean in banking?
statutory liquidity ratioSLR, or statutory liquidity ratio, determines the amount of money a bank needs to invest in certain specified securities, which are predominantly securities issued by the central government and state governments. RBI fixes this limit. Unlike CRR, money invested under the SLR window earn some interests for banks.

Which is more liquid CRR or SLR?
CRR is the percentage of money, which a bank has to keep with RBI in the form of cash. On the other hand, SLR is the proportion of liquid assets to time and demand liabilities. … CRR regulates the flow of money in the economy whereas SLR ensures the solvency of the banks.

What is the purpose of SLR?
1) One of the main objectives is to prevent commercial banks from liquidating their liquid assets when the RBI raises the CRR. 2) SLR is used by the RBI to control credit flow in the banks. 3) In a way, SLR also makes commercial banks invest in government securities.
What happens if SLR increases?
What is CRR example?
Example: When someone deposits Rs 100 with a bank, it increases the deposits of the bank by Rs 100. If the CRR is 9%, then the bank will have to hold additional Rs 9 with the central bank. This means that the commercial bank will be able to use only Rs 91 for investments and/or lending or credit purpose.
Who keeps SLR?
1. ASSETS ELIGIBLE UNDER SLR. The eligible assets for SLR mainly include cash, gold and approved securities by the RBI. Most banks keep the SLR in the form of government approved securities specifically – central government bonds and treasury bills as they give a reasonable return.
What is CRR and SLR rate 2020?
Which banks have to maintain CRR?
As per the RBI Act 1934, all Scheduled Commercial Banks (that includes public and private sector banks, foreign banks, regional rural banks and co-operative banks) are required to maintain a cash balance on average with the RBI on a fortnightly basis to cater to the CRR requirement.
What is bank rate and repo rate?
What happens when CRR is increased?
When RBI increases the CRR, less funds are available with banks as they have to keep larger protions of their cash in hand with RBI. … Thus hike in CRR leads to increase of interest rates on Loans provided by the Banks. Reduction in CRR sucks money out of the system causing to decrease in money supply.

Today, both Google and IBM announced their intentions to join hands in a collaboration effort intended to bring mirth and merriment to computer science students around the world. The new initiative will be piloted at a few Universities in the U.S., and is aimed at better educating students in how to develop, on a long term scale, large-scale distributed software. With the advent of multi-core processors being in more desktops than ever and even low-cost servers having dozens of CPUs available to them, it makes sense that new generations of programmers will need exceptional parallel programming skills.
To show their devotion to such an endeavor, IBM and Google are sponsoring a massive cluster of computers, including both Google servers and IBM BladeCenter / System x servers. The cluster will be reachable over the Internet
, and will rely on Linux along with XEN virtualization. They are also backing it with their own set of open-source software tools and assisting in the management of the projects it spawns.
Some schools participating include the University of Washington and Carnegie Mellon. Both IBM
have said their own bits about the project, which seems like a very ambitious one indeed.

A formatter that creates string representations of quantities of time.
- iOS 8.0+
- macOS 10.10+
- tvOS 9.0+
- watchOS 2.0+
- Mac Catalyst 13.0+Beta
Date object takes quantities of time and formats them as a user-readable string. Use a date components formatter to create strings for your app's interface. The formatter object has many options for creating both abbreviated and expanded strings. The formatter takes the current user's locale and language into account when generating strings.
To use this class, create an instance, configure its properties, and call one of its methods to generate an appropriate string. The properties of this class let you configure the calendar and specify the date and time units you want displayed in the resulting string. Listing 1 shows how to configure a formatter to create the string "About 5 minutes remaining".
The methods of this class may be called safely from any thread of your app. It is also safe to share a single instance of this class from multiple threads, with the caveat that you should not change the configuration of the object while another thread is using it to generate a string.

Computer users have differing needs, for some printing is important. Adding a printer to Linux may seem different from other operating systems. If you're buying a printer avoid Lexmark as these have the worst compatibility with Linux. Networked printers are convenient and include printers on a wireless network which are even more convenient. So this article assumes you have a network and printer and are running KDE.
 1. 1
 Turn on your network (or router) and ensure it can see any network devices. If you use MAC filtering you will need to add your printer and an IP address.
 2. 2
 Turn on your printer and connect it to your network. Usually this is done on a panel on the printer if it is wireless or plugged in directly if it is wired.
 3. 3
 Turn on your computer and see if it detects your printer automatically.
 4. 4
 If it does not appear automatically, go through the add printer wizard as superuser. Click administrator mode (enter your password) and you will have a red border.
 5. 5
 Click Add, then new printer to launch the wizard.
 6. 6
 Choose your connection type.

Reliability and Test Environment of the SCAN-A with Children Ages 12-15
Spencer, Michele Lynn
MetadataShow full item record
The SCAN-A is a widely utilized auditory processing screening tool for use with adolescents and adults 12-to-50 years of age. The SCAN-A consists of four subtests: Filtered Words, Auditory Figure-Ground, Competing Words, and Competing Sentences, and takes about 20 minutes to administer. Other versions of this screening tool exist (e.g., SCAN and SCAN-C) that are standardized for use with children under 12 years of age. However, previous reports indicate that test-retest reliability is poor and test environment affects performance by young children. In this study, the effect of test environment (sound attenuating booth versus quiet room) and test-retest reliability for the 12-to-15 year old age group was investigated. Thirty participants, ages 12-to-15 years old, who were normally developing, were tested using the SCAN-A four times, twice in both a quiet room and a sound attenuating booth, with testing in both environments conducted one month apart. A high false-positive rate (43% of participants) was found for the first administration of the SCAN-A, with fewer participants identified with possible APD with subsequent test administrations. Results revealed a significant main effect of test administration time, and no significant main effect of test environment or significant interaction, for the Filtered Words, Auditory Figure-Ground, Competing Words, and Total Test standard score. No significant main effects or interaction was found for the Competing Sentences subtest. This investigation demonstrates that the SCAN-A has low specificity, a high false-positive rate, and poor test-retest reliability.

This article explores the potential role of low-wage service sector unions in engaging in equity-minded school reform. The members of many such unions are parents of children attending poorly resourced public schools. In seeking to address the interests of their members, labor unions can draw upon resources, organizing strategies, and political relationships to contribute to grassroots campaigns for educational equity. Data gathered in Los Angeles from labor and civic leaders, as well as janitors belonging to the Service Employees International Union Local 1877, reveal possibilities for low-wage service sector unions to build alliances around educational reform issues and support their members' individual capacities to advocate for their own children in schools. At the same time, low-wage service sector unions face challenges to participating in school reform efforts, including prioritizing education issues among other competing interests and identifying common ground with teachers' unions.

Complex plurals
Pluralization is a key topic in localization, but its complexity is very often overlooked. Every localization library supports singular and plural forms, but many languages have more than two plural forms — some even have six different forms!
We encountered this when localizing Wellmo to Polish. Polish has four different plural forms (below are three, the fourth is used in decimals):
0 steps = 0 kroków
1 step = 1 krok
2 steps = 2 kroki
3 steps = 3 kroki
4 steps = 4 kroki
5 steps = 5 kroków
6 steps = 6 kroków
Getting pluralization correct for all languages poses a challenge, and more often than not, it is done wrong.
Where the trouble begins
The typical way to handle complex plurals is to use Unicode CLDR Plural Rules. Unicode CLDR has defined six different plural categories which encompass all plural forms in all languages. The plural categories have been named: zero, one, two, few, many, other.
While these names are indicative of their meaning, they are also wildly misleading. Even documentation of many localization libraries use the categories incorrectly. For example, the i18n-js library documentation contains the following example:
 one: You have 1 new message
 other: You have {{count}} new messages
 zero: You have no messages
The core problem here is that only the "other" version contains the placeholder {{count}}. The other two forms assume that count is 1 for "one" and 0 for "zero". While this holds true for English (and in this case even the CLDR rules have been extended to include "zero" for English), you're likely to run into trouble with translations.
The point to remember: The category names do not indicate an amount! The category name "one" should be understood as "the pluralization category similar to that used for the number 1". For example French uses the category "one" for the count 0, and Russian uses it also for 21, 31, 41, etc.
If you sent the above file to a Russian translator, unless they are very experienced in this area, you'll likely get back:
 one: У вас есть 1 новое сообщение
 other: У вас есть {{count}} новых сообщений
 zero: У вас нет сообщений
(Above texts are from Google translate)
When your user then has 21 new messages, the message will read "You have 1 new message".
While you can get this to work with experienced / in-house translators, I find this poor practice for the following reasons:
 - It's very error prone: a translator can easily translate the master text directly, instead of converting the specialized form to a generic form
 - It creates confusion which form will be used for which language. In French the form "one" is used for amounts 0 and 1, but what if a separate "zero" key exists?
 - Standard translation tools won't know how to deal with your specially extended rules
 - Translation checker tools cannot verify whether correct placeholders are used in the translations
Doing it the right way
The rule is: Whenever you use a CLDR plural form, include the number placeholder. Every — single — time.
In order to support natural-sounding versions of special cases (such as "You have no messages"), at Wellmo we decided to extend the CLDR rules with two special categories: "none" and "single". These match the counts 0 and 1 for all languages, and fall back to the CLDR rules if they are missing. The difference to using "zero" and "one" is that they don't clash with CLDR categories, but are instead handled as completely separate keys.
Using these extra rules, the above example could be written as:
 one: You have {{count}} new message
 other: You have {{count}} new messages
 none: You have no messages
 single: You have one new message
The important distinction is that both "one" and "other" contain the {{count}} placeholder. Thus, it makes no assumptions on the language rules.
When translated to Russian the corresponding entry would contain entries for "one", "few", "many", "other", "none" and "single". Automated tools can check that the placeholders for all of these correspond to the master language.
One thing to note is that in the example above, the English key will never be used, as it always uses en.index.counting.single instead. I find this a minor grievance compared to the consistency and other benefits it brings about.
Having complex plurals translated
Due to the different number of plural forms in different languages, there will inevitably be a different number of strings in different languages. Some translation platforms, such as OneSky, have specific support for CLDR plurals. When it detects a CLDR plural form in the master language, it asks for the correct amount of translations for the destination language.
Unfortunately, OneSky only supports detecting plural forms in specific file formats. We had to update our continuous localization scripts to convert back and forth between Java property files (that we use) and Android XML localization files (which has specific support for plurals).
Once set up, this system works like a charm:
 - Plural forms work correctly in any language we want to localize to
 - Specific forms are available for "no messages" and "one message" where desired
 - Translators are automatically prompted for the correct amount of plural forms
 - Our translation checker tool ensures that all translations and placeholders are correct

ASTM D3039 describes the standard method for tensile testing polymer matrix composites. It covers test methods for a wide range of specimen dimensions as well as many different testing configurations. In this application we tested carbon fiber specimens. The specimens were prepared with tabbed ends that allowed for a secure grip on the specimen and ensured that breaks occurred within the gauge length and not in the jaw face. Testing was performed at both high (85° C) and low (-60° C) temperatures.
For this test, we used a 5985 floor model system because it is designed for tensile testing applications. To test the specimens at the required temperatures, we used an environmental chamber with a range from -80° C to 350° C. This chamber allowed us to run tests at 85° C using the internal heating coils and then at -60° C by piping in liquid nitrogen. Before starting the test we placed the specimen in 250 kN precision mechanical wedge grips, attached our clip-on extensometer, and waited for the chamber to reach the set temperature. When testing far below or above ambient temperatures, polymer composites will often expand or contract, putting the specimen in tension or compression as the temperature changes. The 5900 Series frames used with Bluehill® 3 Software come with a specimen protect feature that allows you to set a load threshold that won't be exceeded until the test is started. Additionally, we used the optional specimen alignment device to ensure optimal alignment of the specimen in the jaw faces, since offset loading can greatly effect tests results.
We successfully tested the specimens using this setup and Bluehill 3 software calculated the modulus, maximum load, tensile strength, and strain at break.


Crossword Genius
Some of the dole money grows on a tree! (5)
I believe the answer is:
'tree' is the definition.
(lemon is a kind of tree)
'some of the dole money grows' is the wordplay.
'some of' indicates a hidden word.
'LEMON' can be found hidden inside 'dole money grows'.
'on a' is the link.
(Other definitions for lemon that I've seen before include "Fruit; sort of grass, sole", "A fruit; a worthless item", "Fruit squeezed on Pancake Day?", "certainly not a plum!", "Citrus fruit (is it the answer?)".)

Meteorite (biome)
From Terraria Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
A Meteorite biome is a location where a Meteorite has crash-landed. When this event occurs, it leaves a crater lined with Meteorite ore somewhere in the World. This event always occurs off-screen, so the player will only see a message and the resulting crash site, but never the impact itself. Meteorite biomes have the same theme music as the Blood Moon, but somewhat different spawned enemies, though there is only one unique enemy type: the Meteor Head.
Meteorite crash sites provide Meteorite, a crafting material that can be crucial to game advancement. Meteorite Ore requires a Gold or Platinum Pickaxe or better to mine. Touching Meteorite blocks causes damage to the player, unless they have the Obsidian Skull, Obsidian Shield, Obsidian Horseshoe or Ankh Shield accessory equipped, or are using an Obsidian Skin Potion.
When a Meteorite crash occurs, the player is notified by a chat message: "A meteorite has landed!". Meteorites can land anywhere, including Floating Islands, inside of a Chasm, or the Dungeon. Meteorites can even land at the bottom of a body of water. The Meteorite replaces dozens of blocks deep with Meteorite in a crater pattern.
Warning: If you have built a skybridge, the meteorite will not land beneath it. If a meteorite strikes your skybridge, only the bridge is converted into Meteorite ore. A meteor's blast radius is ~20 blocks.

[edit] Conditions
A Meteorite crash site has a 50% chance of spawning the next midnight after a Shadow Orb or a Crimson Heart is smashed. (The meteorite, if rolled, will spawn immediately if the Orb is smashed between midnight and dawn.) Additionally, each night has a 2% chance that a Meteorite will fall, if at least one Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart has already been smashed in the World.
Once the conditions are met, multiple Meteorites will land in a World over time. However none will fall if there are already a certain number of Meteorite blocks above 0 depth. The limits are:
 - Small worlds: 400
 - Medium worlds: 600
 - Large worlds: 800
16% of the world centered on your spawn point is protected from falling meteors. Also, meteors won't fall within 25 blocks of a player, NPC or a chest.
[edit] Mining
A player fights off Meteor Heads in a semi-mined meteorite crash-site.
Main article: Meteorite
The Meteorite's primary use is in providing the player with Meteorite ore, allowing them to craft Meteorite Bars at a Furnace to then craft a variety of items.
Meteorite requires a Gold or Platinum Pickaxe or Bombs/Dynamite to mine and an Obsidian Skull, Obsidian Shield, Obsidian Horseshoe, or Obsidian Skin Potion in order to touch its blocks without taking damage. Mining can be achieved without Obsidian equipment, as picking up mined Meteorite Ore does not cause damage, though the player will likely have a harder time without being able to walk on Meteorite blocks. Mining without Obsidian equipment can be done safely by covering the meteor site in a single layer of sand blocks, creating a platform that follows the top layer of Meteorite as it is mined away.
Meteor Heads will continuously spawn and attack as the player is in the vicinity of a Meteorite crash site that hasn't been mined away yet. Meteor Heads fly, follow the player as they move, and can pass through all blocks, so it can be difficult for players without good defenses and weapons to attempt to mine Meteorite.
Once most of the Meteorite has been mined away (less than 50 Meteorite blocks remain unmined; about 10%), the area will cease to be considered a Meteorite biome. The music will change back to normal and Meteor Heads will stop spawning, although the remaining Meteor Heads will still attack. Afterwards, the remainder of the Meteorite can be safely mined or ignored.
[edit] Tips
 - Meteorites impact the highest-altitude blocks they encounter in a given area. If you have built a sky bridge, even one composed of Wood Platforms, the Meteorite has a good chance of landing on that bridge. Having a low density of blocks to replace means you will not obtain the intended yield of Meteorite from the event. It may be advisable to destroy any paths in the sky before destroying a Shadow Orb in order to get the full yield of Meteorite, as it is a valuable resource and the event can be rare. If you have an abundance of Wire and Active Stone Blocks, you could also create a Sky Bridge with these materials, then switch off the Bridge before smashing a Shadow Orb.
 - A pickaxe can be used to knock back Meteor Heads if the player strategically repositions themselves as they spawn.
 - With two players, one player with the Vilethorn can protect the mining player rather easily if they stick together. (The Vilethorn will kill a Meteor Head in one direct hit, and it goes through walls as do the Meteor Heads.
 - If only one player is available, quickly switching between the Vilethorn and a Pickaxe to, respectively, defend yourself from the Meteor Heads and mine the Meteorite will be sufficient to mine the Meteor with relative ease.
 - Even if a meteorite lands on a Floating Island, Harpies and Wyverns will not stop spawning.
 - Console only.pngIn Hardmode, it can be useful to place enough Meteorite Ore in Underground Hallow, Underground Corruption, Underground Crimson, Underground Jungle or Underground Snow to spawn Meteor Heads instead of Hardmode Enemies, enabling an easy way of collecting Souls and Biome Key Molds.
 - NOTE: In the PC version, Meteor Heads no longer drop anything once Hardmode is activated. Although this makes the technique useless for obtaining enemy drops, it remains useful for mining relatively unimpeded.
 - If a piece of Obsidian equipment isn't available, it's worth noting that angled Meteorite blocks can be touched without taking damage. Leaving a brick alone every few rows and angling it with a Hammer will allow you to use it as a platform to dig deeper down.
Bug.png Bug : If a meteorite falls in the Crimson, the Crimson music will still play when near the meteorite. Meteor Heads will still spawn. Corruption biomes appear to act the same way.
Bug.png Bug : A meteorite has an extremely rare chance that it may crash into your world even though no Crimson Hearts or shadow orbs have been broken yet.

Layered Fabric Materiality
Layered Fabric Materiality in Architectural FRP Surface Elements.
Fabrics have particular material qualities, ranging across aesthetic values to unique structural capacities. At the basis of this research stands the term Fabric Materiality (FM), coined to represent the totality of qualities, attributes and techniques associated with fabric materials, which potentially interface between disciplines as a basis for transfer of technologies. Applied to the field of architectural FRP, its integration in design and fabrication is expected to remove current barriers for wider architectural application, tightly linked to the reliance on moulds. Following prior experimentation with FM integration in linear elements, this paper describes its potential in FRP surface elements, obtaining stiffness and introducing three-dimensional articulation by fabric manipulation and self-organisation. A multi-layered surface element is outlined, as a porous matter-structure of partial lamination, to potentially be resilient architectural skin.

What is Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry?
DCC methodology utilizes cyclic structures which interchange via reversible covalent bond formation to create a dynamic library of potential receptors. When this thermodynamically controlled mixture is incubated with an analyte of interest, the library responds by shifting the equilibrium towards the receptor that best binds the analyte, i.e. the best receptor is amplified relative to the non-templated state. This is best visualized with the following simple graphic:
The experiment begins with a library of "monomers", each of which has two reactive groups on it; in the example above, the reactive groups are thiols. Prior to adding the analyte, the dithiols are oxidized and equilibrated to the complex mixture of disulfides; three are shown but statistically many hundreds are possible. An analyte is then added under conditions where the library is in equilibrium, such that the library constituents can respond to the analyte by shifting towards the best host-guest pair to establish a new equilibrium. In this competitive binding situation, the best receptor is identified by determining which compound(s) was amplified. This differs from a traditional (static) combinatorial library because the method simultaneously generates the library and dynamically amplifies/identifies the winner.

Casa Mangle is a study project developed for Fundación Granito de Arena, for the community of Curia, located in the pacific coast between what are the last blue crab mangrove areas in Ecuador.
Mangrove ecosystems have been on constant decline through the change in land use and development and urban growth in coastlines. Mangrove deforestation not only affects in the number of species of flora and fauna that perish with the reduction of these ecosystems, such as the blue crab, shrimp and others, but it also affects coastal communities that rely on fishing and harvesting that can no longer continue with their traditional activities and cannot make ends meet. Furthermore, mangrove deforestation plays a huge role in the resilience of these coastal areas to increasing tide levels and storm surges, thus with the reduction of the mangroves, these defenses fail, leaving the communities more exposed to further impact due to climate change.
The purpose of Fundación Granito de Arena and VIVA was to provide the community with a space that would allow for the community to preserve their ecosystem, to learn about the species that rely on the mangroves for their survival and to make others aware of the impact that deforestation can have, and most of all, to engage youth and kids in a positive balance with the ocean through surf and other water activities as a way to preserve the mangroves. Casa Mangle was a community design case study of what can be achieved through architecture as a community catalyst and environmental tool. The project includes surf board storage area, recreational spaces such as decks and walkways for mangrove appreciation, a library area, and community gathering areas.

The Carrapateena project is located within the Olympic Dam copper-gold province, a metallogenic belt along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton in South Australia, which hosts the Prominent Hill mine, Olympic Dam mine and the Moonta-Wallaroo historic mining district. The Gawler Craton comprises variably deformed and metamorphosed sedimentary, volcanic and plutonic rock spread from the Late Archean to Mesoproterozoic, and it has been subdivided into a series of domains, the Carrapateena deposit being part of the Olympic Domain. The age of the iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation in the Gawler Craton is uncertain although it is interpreted in the literature to be associated with Mesoproterozoic magmatism of the Hiltaba Suite and the Gawler Range Volcanics.
The vast majority of copper and gold mineralisation within the deposit is hosted by hematite dominated breccias with moderate mineralisation occurring within hematite altered granite breccias (Eastern copper domain). Sulphides are the primary copper-bearing minerals in the Carrapateena Breccia Complex (CBC). Copper and gold mineralisation is structurally and chemically controlled, with subsequent alteration destroying mineralising structures. The most abundant sulphides are Chalcopyrite > Pyrite > Bornite, and constitute the vast majority of the sulphides at Carrapateena. The less common sulphides and their relative abundances are: Chalcocite ≈ Digenite ≈ Covellite >> Sphalerite ≈ Galena.
Gold mineralisation at Carrapateena is almost exclusively hosted by hematite altered breccias. Gold grains are usually very small (10 microns), and when seen in polished section, are often intimately associated with copper sulphides. Gold grains are commonly a combination of gold and minor silver (electrum).

Halal nail polish consists of an open lacquer basket. It is developed on the basis of a chemical formula with thermoplastic polymer which, in conjunction with other auxiliaries and chemical reactions, penetrates and punctures the paint – or rather enters and creates amorphous regions: There are microscopic trails in the paint that allow the water particles to penetrate and rest on the nail belt:
Thermoplastic polymers create amorphous regions in the paint. Polyolefin plastomer (POP) is, for example, a polymer composed of l-Bute and 1-ocetane molecular bonds. This polymer is used in plastic packaging to create breathability.
POP is assisted by polyethyn (PE) which distributes the molecular weight in the chain to prevent the holes from pulling together.
In contrast to the permeable nail polish, the conventional nail varnish is dominated by crystalline polymers which form dense layers in the structure, which makes it impossible for the water particles to penetrate. The illustration below gives a visual insight

The Pacific sea cucumbers (Stichopus Holothurioidea species and other family members) of the revered Chinese cooks since ancient days. In particular, the sea cucumber dishes for special occasions, mainly in New Year's Eve celebrations. An old Confucian recipe, loosely translated The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and made of sea cucumber, shark fins, and five species of fish and shellfish, is one of the classic banquet dishes. The sea cucumber is assessed as well as other delicacies such as shark fins is Ginseng, Cordyceps, Tremella, and disease preventive and longevity tonic. This was the agent of medical in the Bencao Congxin (New Compilation of Materia Medica) of the Wu Yiluo 1757. The popular Chinese name for sea cucumber is haishen, which means, roughly, ginseng of the sea. Often known in the medical literature fangcishen (fang = four-sided, ci = spiky, referring to the spiky protrusions that emanate four sides), or in abbreviated form, fangshen.
The Asian demand for sea cucumber is so high that it gathered in the United States and other countries (eg Australia, the Philippines) that passend will be quoted. The Atlantic sea cucumber, Cucumaria frondosa, collected primarily in the food, but recent studies from medical, side through the efforts of the Coast of Maine Organic Resources, led by Peter Collin.
Kiszerelésébol and use of sea cucumber
To prepare the sea cucumber gather after the internal organs removed and washed the dirt and sand in the cavity. Then boiled in salted water and dried in the air to preserve. When ready to take the food, the hard, dried sea cucumber softened. The process is quite lengthy, so that the food tends to appear in the special dinners and parties rather than the day-to-day kitchen. To soften the dried sea cucumber in the instructions: Place the sea cucumbers in a bowl and add cold water to cover, at least 12 hours per week, and cook over low heat for 1-2 hours, add more water if necessary that the water is always covered with the cucumber, remove from heat and cool to room temperature, then drain.
A nutritional point of view of the sea cucumber is ideal for a refreshing meal. The higher protein (55%) than most other foods other than protein (99%) and 10-16% materials used for cartilage mucopolysaccharides. Sea cucumber less fat than most other foods.
Sea Cucumber as a food supplement
In modern medical terms, a valuable source of sea cucumbers of different materials can serve as natural health products, and drugs may be developed. As the sea cucumber food is a very small segment of the population outside East Asia, most people have no access to its beneficial components. Thus, the desired sea cucumber extract and simply consume formats, such as capsules (hard and soft gelatin) and pills.
Sea cucumbers, cartilage provides a rich source of mucopolysaccharides point body, mainly chondroitin sulfate, which is known for its ability to reduce arthritis pain, particularly osteoarthritis only 3 grams per day of dried sea cucumber is also useful for significantly reducing arthralgia. Measure is similar to chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, chondroitin is the main building blocks.
Chondroitin blocks, which left the chemical layout shows a building block that can be repeated several times, this is really a glucose molecule (left potion) and glucosamine molecule (right panel), which has been sulfated (O3S, above). This block is illustrated on the right side in a three-dimensional representation.
Long-chain sulfated polysaccharides such as chondroitin can inhibit the virus, there is a Japanese patent sea cucumber chondroitin sulfate for HIV therapy based on this operation, and other sulfated polysaccharides in the seaweed has a patented anti-herpes viruses. Chondroitin can be obtained in commercial quantities of bovine trachea or shark cartilage (including sharks), while glucosamine sulfate from shrimp and crab shells. These compounds are also found in deer antler, which is not practical because of the rarity and resource extraction costs, but it is likely that glucosamine and chondroitin is a key supporter of the healing of deer antlers.
Russian, Japanese and Chinese studies indicate that sea cucumbers also saponins (triterpene glycosides) files. These compounds are similar to the structure of the active ingredient of ginseng, ganoderma, and other famous tonic herbs. Pharmacological studies show inflammatory and anti-cancer properties of sea cucumber saponins.
One of the sea cucumber saponins, representatives of the structures normally found in these organisms.
In addition, the sea cucumber oil contains two inflammatory fractions. A fraction of these fatty acids are characteristic of the fish, it can be used as a substitute for fish oil reduces inflammation by-products of fat metabolism and feed the brain and heart. The main components of the interest in fish oils EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid is found in the sea cucumber, and DHA (docosahaenoic acid), which is unique to the fish:
Stereochemical representations of EPA (left) and DHA (right). The double bond locations are different, resulting in further deflection of the structures
The second fraction a mixture of branched-chain fatty acids, mainly 12-MTA (methyltetradecanoic acid). This compound, and the more widely studied variant, 13-MTA, the 5-LOX inhibitors (lypoxygenase) enzyme system. 5-LOX inhibitors are one of the most important areas of modern drug development, the plans for the use of compounds in the treatment of asthma, ulcerative colitis, and arthritis. In addition, the cancer-inhibitory effect was observed in preliminary studies in prostate cancer cell lines and other human cancer cells These fatty acids are thought to be produced by bacteria that live in the sea cucumbers, they are also produced by bacteria in other marine organisms such as sponge and tunicates.
For example, branched fatty acids found in marine organisms. The key fob is a simple carbohydrate. These long chains can interact with cell membranes

|9.75" × 7.75" paperback with illustrations by Charles Ferguson Barker.
Too sick to go to school, Sean is entertained when his fisherman puppet comes to life and they leave the Earth to see it from the outside looking in. This book, which is told mainly in rhyme, introduces young readers (ages 4–8) to plate tectonics. The detailed black-and-white pencil drawings are sure to delight readers of all ages.
Charles Ferguson Barker earned his bachelor's degree in geology at Arizona State University, where he first learned about plate tectonics from his professor Dr. Robert S. Dietz, who coined the phrase "seafloor spreading." After earning his master's degree in geology at Boston University, Barker decided to write and illustrate a book for children, introducing the basic concepts of plate tectonics. Barker teaches geology, presents lectures to elementary school students about geology, and works in the environmental consulting field.

Ravi ShankarArticle Free Pass
Ravi Shankar, in full Ravindra Shankar Chowdhury (born April 7, 1920, Benares [now Varanasi], India—died December 11, 2012, San Diego, California, U.S.), Indian musician, player of the sitar, composer, and founder of the National Orchestra of India, who was influential in stimulating Western appreciation of Indian music.
Born into a Bengali Brahman (highest social class in Hindu tradition) family, Shankar spent most of his youth studying music and dance and touring extensively in India and Europe with his brother Uday's dance troupe. At age 18 Shankar gave up dancing, and for the next seven years he studied the sitar (a long-necked stringed instrument of the lute family) under the noted musician Ustad Allauddin Khan. After serving as music director of All-India Radio from 1948 until 1956, he began a series of European and American tours.
In the course of his long career, Shankar became the world's best-known exponent of Hindustani (North Indian) classical music, performing with India's most-distinguished percussionists and making dozens of successful recordings. Shankar composed the film scores for the Indian director Satyajit Ray's famous Apu trilogy (1955–59). In 1962 he founded the Kinnara School of Music in Bombay (now Mumbai) and then established a second Kinnara School in Los Angeles in 1967; he closed both schools some years later, however, having become disenchanted with institutional teaching.
Beginning in the 1960s, his concert performances with the American violinist Yehudi Menuhin and his association with George Harrison, lead guitarist of the then wildly popular British musical group the Beatles, helped bring Indian music to the attention of the West. Among the diverse musicians influenced by Shankar's compositional style were the jazz saxophonist John Coltrane and the composer Philip Glass, with whom Shankar collaborated on the album Passages (1990). Indeed, especially remarkable among Shankar's accomplishments is his equally expert participation in traditional Indian music and in Indian-influenced Western music. Most characteristic of the latter activity are his concerti for sitar and orchestra, particularly Raga-Mala ("Garland of Ragas"), first performed in 1981.
During his lifetime he won Grammy Awards for his album West Meets East (1966), with Menuhin; for The Concert for Bangladesh (1971), with Harrison; and for Full Circle (2001), a live recording of a performance at Carnegie Hall with his daughter Anoushka Shankar (born 1981). Shankar continued giving concerts into his 90s, frequently accompanied by Anoushka, who, like her father, specialized in blending Indian and Western traditions. Also a daughter of Shankar is multiple-Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Norah Jones (born 1979), who found her niche in an eclectic blend of jazz, pop, and country music.
Two months after his death, Shankar won a fourth Grammy Award, for an intimate collection of ragas titled The Living Room Sessions Part 1. Also at that time he was honoured with the Recording Academy's lifetime achievement award. In addition to his strictly musical undertakings, Shankar wrote two autobiographies, published 30 years apart: My Life, My Music (1969) and Raga Mala (1999).

It is explained on page 4 of the documentation.
Vm is the power supply pin for the chip and the steppers. It takes +7.2 to +16.5 vdc.
Vd is used for a clamping diode between pins 1 and 16.
Any time you turn power on then off with a coil in a circuit (the motors), you will get back voltage returned from the coil. This voltage can rise pretty high and spike components in that circuit if not dealt with.
If you look at figure 12 on page 9 you can see the voltage will be returned to the supply + side.

Aux or Auxiliary heat is the backup heat that turns on to help the compressor for first stage maintain your temperature setting. During this time both your Auxiliary heat and your compressor may be on at the same time. When the thermostat is in Emergency heat the compressor does not run, only the Emergency heat runs. It is common that the Emergency heat and auxiliary or backup heat is the same source of heat (electric heat strips or fossil fuel).

We all know the n-word is a sensitive word, for obvious reasons, but some however don't quite get it. A white substitute teacher is under review by the Louisiana school district after a video of him arguing with an African-American student over the use of the n-word went viral. The substitute teacher believes the word has been commoditized and anyone can say it.
"That's racist as shit," responded the student. "Why can you not understand that it's racist for a white man to say 'n****r' to a black man? It's fucking racist."
The student asked his white classmates if they felt free enough to use the word, and they said no. The coach on the other hand just felt that the word didn't have the same offensive/degrading meaning that it had in the past.
"Do you know what a commoditized word is?" he asked. "The word has been commoditized so that anyone can use it, and it's not a negative connotation."
"For you to say it to me is negative," responded the student.
The coach tried to defend his stance by pointing out that a lot of artists use the word in the songs, but the student quickly let him know that usually black men are the ones saying it.
"If you say a word, it means friend. If I say a word, it means something different," Coach Ryan continued, adding "That's not true."
One of the other African-American students in the class stepped in and tried to help Coach Ryan understand, but who know's if the message got through.
"When you're black, it changes the whole way people perceive you and the way people look at you. Realize that it's not just a word when you say stuff like that. Realize all the charges and all the connotations it has in it. And just make responsible choices. If you're a teacher and you don't want to get fired, maybe you don't want to say this."
