Alibaba, the world's largest fintech company, is using Alipay to tap into mobile games to fight desertification, greening China in the process.
China's Gobi desert–the fastest growing desert on the planet–transforms more than 3600 kilometers of grasslands into inhospitable wastelands every year. Its expansion has eaten away hectares of agricultural lands and human habitats besides creating unbridled sandstorms that batter cities located near its edge. The Chinese government has been fighting the desertification with ambitious programs like 'the great green wall' creating a 4500 km tree belt on the edge of the Gobi, where more than 66 billion trees have been planted so far.
Now an app called Ant Forest by the world's largest financial technology company Ant Financial Services Group (Alipay) is sweeping across China rewarding its millions of users for their low-carbon lifestyle by planting trees on behalf of them to stop the desertification. Ant Forest rewards its users with green energy points for choosing low-carbon activities like taking public transportation, recycling waste, using less plastic, etc. Once users have earned enough points, they can plant a virtual tree in the app. For every single tree planted in this app, Alipay plants a tree near the Gobi desert.
Unlike traditional government-led forestation campaigns, Ant Forest is highly interactive and transparent. Users can choose different types of drought-resistant plants based on the number of points they earned, and monitor the growth of their trees in real time using satellite imagery. They can also share or pool their points with their friends to plant a bigger tree.
Alipay has partnered up with conservation groups like China Green Foundation (CGF) and the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology (SEE) to materialise the tree plantation drive.
Over 500 million people–more than 6% of the world's total population–have signed up for the app while Alipay has so far planted over 100 million real trees in Inner Mongolia and Gansu province, which share borders with the Gobi desert. The newly planted trees cover over 1000 sq km–an area almost the size of Hong Kong. The users' behaviour changes and low-carbon lifestyle have reduced carbon emissions by more than three million tons so far.

Experts say that Alipay has gamified carbon footprint tracking and mitigation making sustainable living fun for millions of people in China. The app has tapped into the addictive nature of mobile games to reduce China's carbon emissions.
"Emerging digital technologies are enabling a bottom-up approach to the battle–avoiding greenhouse gas emissions gram by gram, bus fare by bus fare, day by day," says Ant Forest's Chief Executive Officer Eric Jing. "This is essential to complement top-down action, such as the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda on sustainable development. The success of the programme is a sign of the powerful change we can create when people are provided with the opportunity to live a greener life."
Ant Forest has received high praise from conservationists across the world for their innovative approach. "This (the app) shows that digital finance holds a huge untapped power to mobilise people in support of sustainable development and the fight against climate change," says Erik Solheim, Head of UN Environment. "And this power is literally at our fingertips through our mobile devices."
According to a 1982 regulation, every Chinese citizen aged above 11 is legally obliged to plant three to five trees every year. Now, a large number of people use Ant Forest to fulfill their obligations. The app, which is now officially recognised by the National Afforestation Commission (NAC), allows users to apply for the certificate issued by NAC.
China has been tackling its increasing carbon footprint with aggressive afforestation, and Ant Forest's digital clout is helping the country to achieve its 2035 target of increasing its forest cover by 26%.

Cinematic Metaphor. Experience – Affectivity – Temporality
Müller, Cornelia; Kappelhoff, Hermann – 2018
Metaphors in audiovisual media receive increasing attention from film and communication studies as well as from linguistics and multimodal metaphor research. The specific media character of film, and thus of cinematic metaphor, remains, however, largely ignored. Audiovisual images are all too frequently understood as iconic representations and material carriers of information. Cinematic Metaphor proposes an alternative: starting from film images as affective experience of movement-images, it replaces the cognitive idea of viewers as information-processing machines, and heals the break with rhetoric established by conceptual metaphor theory. Subscribing to a phenomenological concept of embodiment, a shared vantage point for metaphorical meaning-making in film-viewing and face-to-face interaction is developed. The book offers a critique of cognitive film and metaphor theories and a theory of cinematic metaphor as performative action of meaning-making, grounded in the dynamics of viewers' embodied experiences with a film. Fine-grained case studies ranging from Hollywood to German feature film and TV news, from tango lesson to electoral campaign commercial, illustrate the framework's application to media and multimodality analysis.

text: There are various techniques used to enhance the conversion of solar energy into useful forms. Use of nanofluids is one of the prominent techniques in the active research of enhancing the energy utilization. In this paper, an updated review is carried out for various recent studies that illustrate the use of nanofluids in different types of solar collectors for improvement of their performance. In addition, some suggestions are made in relation to the future research directions in view of the prevailing challenges using nanofluids in solar energy systems. It has been witnessed that proper dispersion of nanoparticles is a key issue for adequate solar absorption. Improvement of solar collector performance agrees until certain limit of nanofluid volume fraction above which it can end up with adverse results. Proper combination of particle size, pH value and adequate dispersion of nanoparticles results in efficiency increment. Among all possible nanoparticles carbon nanotubes result in larger enhancement when compared to rest, in general. It is also noted that the optical properties of nanoparticles play a key role in absorption, extinction coefficient and the penetration depth of the solar radiation in the nanofluids.

This presentation explores the role of socialist property institutions for the current commercial transformation of the Chinese agriculture. The concurrent existence of collective ownership of farmland and a rapid transformation of the Chinese agriculture from one dominated by smallholding to increasingly commercial and industrialized economies of scale is puzzling. How can commercial investors in agriculture secure the necessary farmland for their operations if they are unable to own, buy and sell land? How has the Chinese solution - and there has to be one since we see a thriving commercial agriculture - been affected by the continuing existence of the underlying socialist property regime? The central argument presented here is that that the transformation of Chinese agriculture toward commercial and industrialized production takes place not despite socialist property institutions but is, in fact, enabled by them.
The presentation first introduces the path-dependent transformation of the Chinese rural property regime based upon collective ownership of farmland and the Household Responsibility System (HRS) since the beginning of the reforms in agriculture in the early 1980s. It describes how new ideas about the purpose and future of agriculture and smallholding triggered a step-by-step transformation of the HRS to allow market-like transfer of farmland for agricultural usage. The rural practice of these market-like structures is then investigated using data from fieldwork in Shandong, Sichuan, Guizhou an Gansu Province conducted between 2008 and 2016.
Dr. René Trappel is a political scientist with a regional focus on China and East Asia. He completed his PhD thesis at Duisburg-Essen University in 2013 and now works as lecturer at the Institute of Chinese Studies at the University of Freiburg. His main research interests include agrarian change, local governance and urbanization.

Testifire's use of advanced technologies means that it is able to test an increasingly wide range of detectors. Latest technology stimuli production and delivery renders the product suitable for testing everything from latest technology, complex algorithm, multi sensors to aspirating systems (as well as the more 'traditional' detectors in between).
- Optical point (photoelectric) smoke sensors
Single, laser, dual wavelength or dual scatter types.
- Ionisation smoke sensors
- Aspirating detectors
The unique method of smoke generation used by Testifire provides a smoke profile which is suitable for testing aspirating detection systems. Use of the Testifire Remote Control also allows use with 'holes' along an aspirating pipe run.
- Virtual chamber detectors
Some types of detector - such as those with 'virtual chambers' do not have the physical 'presence' to automatically initiate a test since they do not interrupt the infrared beam within Testifire. The Testifire 25 Remote Control overcomes this challenge by enabling remote manual initiation and end of a test sequence (at a distance of up to nine metres).
- Thermal sensors
Fixed temperature and rate of rise. Testifire features two heat settings. The standard setting allows testing of rate-of-rise and fixed temperature heat settings up to 90°C (194°F). The High Heat setting allows testing of detectors set at higher temperature up to 100°C (212°F).
- Carbon monoxide (fire) sensors
- Multi-sensor or multi-criteria detectors
Multi-sensor detectors may respond to a functional test from a single phenomenon, e.g. smoke, heat. However, a single phenomenon test is not necessarily an adequate test in the field for this type of detector. Each of the detection principles present within the detector (e.g.: smoke / heat / CO) needs to be individually tested for the specific detection principle. Testifire allows the production of different stimuli (e.g. smoke, heat) to be achieved singularly, sequentially or simultaneously in any combination.
Conventional, addressable or analogue addressable detectors of any of the above detector types can all be tested using Testifire.


Digitizing Risk-based Integrity Management of FPSOs
Industries are adapting to an increasingly digitalized landscape. The floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) industry is no different. As concerted efforts are made to improve project economics Matt Tremblay, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Offshore, discusses how digitalization can increase safety, reduce costs, and build robust technical and operational capabilities.
No one could have predicted what a challenging year 2020 would become. Offshore production activity fluctuated dramatically with changing market economics and a global pandemic, the fall out of heightened geopolitical tensions, not to mention new IMO regulations introduced at the beginning of this year.
On the horizon, however, is positive news. Markets are beginning to evolve, and an example of this is Brazil, where both Petrobras and international oil companies are again active. Increased activity is also taking place in the North Sea, and in Australia. New entrants are making strong headway in regions such as Mexico, where Petroleum Reform is opening offshore exploration and production to foreign companies.
Evolving FPSOs through the influence of digitalization
With these positive developments, the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) markets and the assets themselves, continue to evolve.
With the largest fleet of classed FPSOs, ABS has supported their development in both size and complexity. At its core, an FPSO is simply a production, storage, and offloading system. While the basic design concept hasn't fundamentally changed, what is evolving are the technologies, systems, and tools available for an FPSO to optimize its design and operation.
Influencing this change are the fundamentals of how asset management can be applied to achieve leaner, cost-effective operations and reliable exploration activities. There is a primary focus on improving maintenance scheduling and performance, reducing human factor involvement, and increasing the lifetime use of the FPSO asset, safely. The importance of digitalization is increasingly becoming a priority on the boardroom agenda of many operators, particularly with industry-wide initiatives toward net-zero carbon.
Managing complex assets
Managing the integrity of an FPSO poses a particular set of challenges, and integrity management is still often managed using outdated, labor-intensive spreadsheets or other basic systems.
However, mindsets are changing with increasing awareness on how data can be leveraged to help provide real-time answers to common maintenance, operations and performance questions.
One of the benefits of digitalization is the increase in performance and productivity that can be achieved with a minute-by-minute visibility of how an FPSO is operating. Giving an owner-operator the opportunity to clearly track the change in asset condition over time, from construction through to late-life, helps make more informed decisions, supported by more reliable data, making the industry safer.
Considering the challenges of FPSO operations, fewer, more focused inspections that reduce the need for tanks or equipment to be physically examined while maintaining safety standards, represent a compelling proposition. As does an optimized maintenance system to improve uptime and increase reliability. Combine this, and you have a simpler way to manage maintenance crews on board, optimize turnarounds, simplify logistics, streamline the POB, and improve operations. The end result leads to safer operations, a reduction in OPEX, and improved profitability.
The trick is how to avoid adding unacceptable risk. It's why ABS has moved to develop solutions using data science as the basis for an informed and targeted decision-making process, using predictive analytics to guide operational decisions. Examples include analysis of early corrosion detection and coating failures using machine learning and pattern identification intelligence, and real-time monitoring and transparency into how a vessel's operational profile and loading patterns are affecting its structural integrity, providing predictive alerts for detected anomalies to reduce the risk of unplanned downtime and improvement in maintenance strategies.
The goal in moving to a condition-based system is that you are letting the condition of the asset – such as the FPSO hull – tell you how often you need to inspect and maintain it. For example, consistent hull inspections showing no corrosion may allow you to increase your inspection interval.
It starts with collecting data that will be processed and analyzed. Most of this data is something we already have, such as the original design information, the engineering assessments and analysis, the inspection records, and survey results. Environmental data may be acquired from industry sources or measured onboard. Operational data such as loading patterns, production profiles, failure modes, maintenance data, are also available by manual intervention and measurement, or through sensor-based monitoring systems.
When you combine all this information with diagnostic and potentially prognostic models, can then detect health and performance anomalies in the form of impending failure or performance degradation at an early stage.
This provides valuable information for corrective and preventative actions by allowing both onboard and onshore management teams to observe the condition and status of their vessels' integrity. This information empowers operators to develop appropriate strategies for maintaining their assets, optimizing decision-making, and managing integrity and maintenance as efficiently as possible to avoid unexpected downtime and productivity loss in operations.

Creating your data ecosystem
With any offshore unit, and in any operation, there are different kinds of data generated. There is data generated from the operational side, such as oil and vibration testing. There is data generated from repairs, maintenance, warranty claims, CMMS data, as well as met-ocean conditions and environment data.
All these data configurations are very diverse and were traditionally kept in silos. Today, we're able to combine data sets from multiple sources together with technologies that help operators make better and more informed to-the-minute decisions. Combining multiple data sets generates big data analytics, which is the concept of using different data sources to create penetrating new insights.
Auditing your data and applying digital technology will automate the translation and data analysis process.
Digital solutions can then be used to visualize the status of that asset, and monitoring tools can be used to help you focus on the big picture. For example, combining data analytics with Artificial Intelligence (AI) can investigate the 'what if scenarios' and provide future insights, enabling operators to begin to answer not only what happened, but also what will happen.
Building a Digital Asset Framework
"Digital Twin" is a familiar term, but it is a term that is hard to define. For example, if you assessed 10 separate projects, each with their own Digital Twin, all 10 of them would give you a different description of what it is, what it does, and what it delivers.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, and in reality, no two projects will be the same, particularly in the design and operation of FPSOs where there are vast technical challenges that require numerous detailed process, control, safety, and flow simulations to maximize production, from subsea to offloading.
In a Digital Twin, physics-induced data are used to mirror and predict the status and life of its corresponding physical twin. This enhances the operation of an FPSO by helping to both visualize and predict the performance of that asset. As the digital twin is designed to continuously collect and process operating data from sensors and other data sources, it presents a constantly evolving picture of the FPSO's living status at all times.
While you may not need all of the potential analysis capability available today to support a new FPSO that has just been installed, it is beneficial to deliver a new FPSO with a robust condition model to allow you to begin the full lifecycle of the model alongside the physical asset. Ultimately, it allows operators to better calculate and forecast the remaining life of their asset.
Applying Digital Twin technology as part of a "Digital Asset Framework", allows for a single source of truth that can be shared with stakeholders, including owners, operators, project financiers, insurance providers, and regulators alike. Everybody can access the same reports, data, and insights in a way that makes sense through data visualization.
Digital-driven business outcomes
The digital solutions applied to an FPSO impact its entire value chain, from equipment and inventory to operational efficiency, including optimization of inspections and onboard activities. Coupling these digital solutions with traditional risk-based inspection and maintenance planning techniques has shown a 10:1 return on investment opportunity over the total asset life due to optimized repair and inspection planning.
In early project CapEx planning, condition models, sensor data ingestion tools, remote inspection technology, are all aspects of what should be looked at to ensure an FPSO is future-proofed, so that in 10 years from now, an operator can apply the latest predictive analytics techniques to forecast its remaining asset life.
Where operators manage a fleet of multiple offshore units, using the right digital tools and data insight offers benchmarking that helps compare one offshore unit's performance against another in the fleet. This gives further opportunity to improve asset management activities through the efficient allocation or re-allocation of resources resulting in streamlined scheduling of fleet maintenance activities that are focused and specific.
A connected future
The transition from legacy systems to Digital Twin driven operations will be incremental, which will naturally incorporate a range of digital solutions to improve asset management and optimization.
The digital tools now entering the market allow operators to ingest, store, track, and analyze condition data in a way that was never possible before. These are technologies we are both building and implementing, focused on three primary goals; improving asset reliability, streamlining the Class process on offshore operations, and ultimately, supporting the improved profitability of the industry. Of course, this is all rooted in a framework of safety and quality spanning an end-to-end solution.
ABS has developed several innovations to support the monitoring and management of structural, machinery, and condition metrics needed for asset management and regulatory compliance.
ABS Condition Manager is just one of a suite of advanced new digital services and applications launched by ABS that offer unprecedented understanding of the status of an asset. A compartment-based, digital visualization of an asset's condition, including inspection and repair history, as well as critical area monitoring using Class and operational data, the ABS Condition Manager application is a good example of how digital

How to use the Field Level Database Lookup
The General Document Processor (GDP) is a tool that allows users to process documents and extract information from them. This feature adds the ability to link a database to specific fields in GDP, so that the extracted data can be matched with values in the database.
How to set up the database connection
- When creating a new field in GDP, select the data type "Calculated".
- Enter the data set URI. This is the location of the database you want to link to GDP. This can be public URL or data:// linking to your super.AI storage.
- Define which fields to match against the data in the dataset. Select the fields in GDP that you want to compare with the values in the database.
- Define the number of candidates to present for human review. This is the number of matches that will be returned for interactive selection. If set to 0, matching will be disabled.
- Define the matching threshold. This is the percentage of fields that should match for automatic assignment. For example, a threshold of 0.8 means that 80% of the fields must match for the value to be automatically assigned.
- Define the Output Column Name. This is the name of the column in the output.
- Click "Setup" to link the database to GDP and begin matching values.
Once the fields are set up, GDP will look up values in the database and match them to the extracted data from your documents.
If the matching threshold is met, the corresponding value will be automatically assigned to the output field.
If there are multiple matches found, the number of candidates as defined, will be shown for human review, and users can select the correct one.
By setting up the matching threshold, you can control the level of confidence in automatic matching. Lowering threshold would increase the chance of getting matched but increase the chance of mismatches, while raising the threshold decrease the chance of mismatches but also reduce the chance of getting matched.
This feature is useful if you have a specific set of values that should be extracted from your documents, and you want to ensure that the extracted data matches one of those values. It allows to improve extraction quality and automate process to some extent.

We understand that students may change their minds about taking a certain course. It is important to consult with the director of undergraduate studies in your department or an assistant dean in the College before making a well-informed decision on this matter, particularly because such a decision could have implications on your ability to graduate on time.
The following guidelines may help you discern if adding/dropping a class is the right course of action for you.
During the first six class days:
- You may add and/or drop courses from your schedule on your own using NOVO. (Note: Some classes have registration restrictions and you may need to request departmental approval before adding; these restrictions are noted in the Course Descriptions in Browse Classes and Class Search.)
After the sixth day of classes:
- All changes to your schedule must be made using the Add/Drop eForm available in the eForms app in InsideND. These changes require the approval of your advising dean and the department hosting the course you wish to drop.
- Semester-long courses cannot be added to your schedule.
- You may add to your schedule late-starting courses that have not yet begun using the Add/Drop eForm.
After the drop deadline (usually the Friday after Fall or Spring Break):
- No courses may be dropped from your schedule.
- Classes that remain on your schedule after this deadline must be completed.
- You may drop certain late-starting courses which have later drop deadlines; these later deadlines can be found in the Course Descriptions in Browse Classes and Class Search.
- You must carry a minimum of 12 credits every semester.
- A course load of less than 12 credits is considered part-time status and is only approved for students in their graduating semester.
- A course load of greater than 17 credits is considered an overload and requires that you seek permission from your advising dean in person.

I'm using Microsoft 365 on a Windows 10 64-bit system. You can work with your own data or follow along by using the downloadable demonstration.docx or.doc file. You can't use wildcards in an online document search. This article assumes you have basic Word skills.
How to use the Replace feature in Word
At first, the Find and Replace task we're going to explore sounds easy. Let's suppose that you have a Word document with multiple three-digit numbers starting with 3, and you want to change the 3 to a 5. For example, 352 becomes 552, 301 becomes 501, 399 becomes 599, and so on. As usual, there's an easy way, but that way doesn't limit the number of digits (or characters) in the search string. When that's the case, there's a more complex set of find and replace settings that will limit the task to only three-digit numbers. Now, let's get started!
The easy way to replace a character in Word
When replacing only characters at the beginning of the search string, you can use the Match Prefix option. This option matches words that begin with the Find setting; you can replace that character with another character without changing the remaining characters. Figure A shows a simple document with only a few numbers. Let's see what happens when we use this option in this document:
- Press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.
- Click More and at the bottom click No Formatting. If that option is dimmed, you can skip this step.
- Click inside the Find What control and remove its contents if necessary, before entering 3.
- Click inside the Replace With control and remove its contents if necessary, before entering 5. (See Figure A.) It's important to note at this point that Replace remembers the last task. That's why it's important to remove formatting and previous search and replace strings before beginning.
- In the bottom pane, check the Match Prefix option.
- Click Replace All, click OK to confirm and then close the dialog.
The results are shown to the right in Figure A. As you can see, this task replaces all 3s with 5s when the 3 occurs at the beginning of the number. It doesn't consider the number of digits in the number.
This easy solution might work, but if you need to limit the change to numbers of a specific number of digits, you'll need a different replace task.
How to use wildcards to replace a character in Word
When the Match Prefix option isn't restrictive enough, you can still use Replace, but both settings will require wildcards. Let's restate the problem: We want to replace 3 with 5 when 3 occurs at the beginning of a three-digit number. You can accomplish this with the following settings:
- Find What: <3([0-9])([0-9])>
- Replace With: 512
Let's work through the same example and then discuss how it works. First, the steps:
- Press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.
- Click More and at the bottom if necessary. (Remember to click No Formatting in the future; it isn't necessary this time.)
- Click inside the Find What control and remove its contents if necessary, before entering <3([0-9])([0-9])>.
- Click inside the Replace With control and remove its contents if necessary, before entering 512. (See Figure B.)
- In the bottom pane, uncheck the Match Prefix option and check the Use Wildcards option.
- Click Replace All, click OK to confirm and close the dialog.
As you can see in Figure C, the settings worked! The Find What setting matches all three-digit numbers that begin with 3. The Replace With setting replaces the 3 with 5. There are only two three-digit numbers that begin with 3 and after the task, they begin with a 5. None of the other numbers are changed.
At this point, it's time to learn how the settings work. First, let's break down the Find What setting:
- The < character denotes the beginning of the search string and > denotes the end.
- The first component <3 matches only those strings that begin with 3.
- The () characters represent a range. In this case, ([0-9]) will match any number in the second position. Similarly, the same component will find any number in the third position.
- Using > forces Word to stop searching beyond the third digit. <3 is the first digit, ([0-9]) is the second digit and ([0-9]) is the third digit.
Put it all together and you get a search string that specifies a three-digit number that begins with 3. Now let's review the Replace With setting:
- 5 is a literal character in the first position, and as such, replaces 3, the first literal character in the Find What setting.
- The character allows you to specify a range—remember, that's the wildcards enclosed in brackets ([ ]). In this case we have two ranges: ([0-9]) in both the second and third positions, but they are ranges 1 and 2, not 2 and 3—don't confuse the positions of the character within the string with the range. Remember, <3 isn't a range, it's a literal character.
This setting specifies a 5 as the replacement for the first digit, followed by the original digits in the matched number, which will only have three digits.
More tips on how to use the Replace feature in Word
It seems complex, but once you know what all those wildcards do, it's easy to understand. I'm not convinced that less complex settings won't work, but I've yet to discover them.
If you can't work out a one-step set, try two. Replace the character, in this case, the number 3, with a special character that you're not using in the document, such as the ^ sign or an underscore (_). Then run a second task to replace the special character with 5. It really isn't a lot more work, and if you're not all that knowledgeable with wildcards, it might be quicker than trying to work out a one-step wildcard solution.

Degus vs Gerbils – What Is The Difference?
Rodents, in the past, were considered pests, but nowadays, they are quickly becoming the leading choices for pets. Their popularity might be because of their small sizes that translate to minimal care needs.
Degus and gerbils are among the leading pet options. Though most people assume that these animals are the same because they both belong to the Rodentia order, several aspects differentiate them.
Below are guidelines on the elements that differentiate degus and gerbils.
Physical Differences
The degu generally resembles a domestic rat. It has small black eyes, and its ears are large. These ears have little fur, but their ear canals have slightly coarse and longer hairs. Degus have fingers on their rear and front feet.
The front paws have a nailed digit that helps the animals to hold food when eating or grazing. Their moderately long tails have small black brushes at the tips, whereas their coats are soft and short. This rodent has twenty teeth comprising six molar pairs, two premolar pairs, and two incisor pairs.
There exist over 85 wild gerbil species. Gerbils have large dark eyes that are less protruding and bulbous than other rodents. Though this gives them a somewhat sleepy look, they are alert and have excellent peripheral vision.
Gerbils have six lower cheek teeth and six upper teeth. Their short club-shaped tails are generally adapted to store fat. Most of these rodents have dense, soft fur, and their tails' sizes differ according to their species.
Size Differences
The most evident difference between degus and gerbils is their sizes. Degus are bigger than gerbils and will thus need more living space. They can grow up to thrice the size of gerbils. In general, degus are 5-7 inches long with average weights of 6-10 ounces.
On the other hand, gerbils grow to adult body lengths of approximately four inches with an extra four inches for their tails. Their weight ranges from 1.7-3.2 ounces.
Color Differences
Wild gerbils have sand-colored fur that makes them camouflage with their dry natural habitats. However, domestic gerbils come in several colors because of selective breeding.
These include black, white, cinnamon, and lilac, along with combinations of these colors. The fur on gerbils has tan, gray, reddish-brown, or brown upperparts and grayish to white underparts.
The thick, soft fur of a degu is yellowish-brown on its upperparts, while its underparts are creamy yellow. Degus are a natural light agouti color.
Since their introduction as pets, this color has evolved to include light grey, dark brown, blue, champagne, sandy brown, cream, and white patched degus.
Behavior Differences
In the wild, gerbils live in colonies. As such, they are very social animals and will not thrive as solitary animals.
It is best to keep two same-sex gerbils for them to remain healthy. Gerbils are generally friendly and will often only bite when threatened. They are mainly nocturnal animals.
It is easy to tame degus if you handle them from an early age. The rodents are instinctively social and will be healthier when kept in same-sex pairs. They are also curious and playful.
As such, degus will become neurotic and might fight you when you do not give them enough interaction and exercise. Like gerbils, they will rarely bite you unless they feel threatened. Degus are diurnal animals.
Diet Differences
The diets of gerbils will comprise specially formulated gerbil food that is generally a loose seed mixture. Sunflower seed mixtures are best used as treats in a gerbil's diet. The ideal feed should contain 4-7% fat and 10-12% protein.
For feeding, opt for a heavy ceramic bowl for your gerbil because this is harder to tip over than a lightweight bowl. Ensure the rodent has a constant supply of clean, non-chlorinated water from a water bottle.
Degus thrive on a diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in roughage. This informs the mixing of guinea pig pellets, a rodent block, and a chinchilla feed to make the perfect degu feed.
Nutrient-rich grass such as alfalfa or timothy hay and fresh water should be available in a degu's cage throughout. Peanuts and sunflower seeds make perfect choices for degu treats.
These rodents should not have any sweets in their diets because they are prone to diabetes.
Care Differences
A pair of gerbils will comfortably fit in a 12 x 24 x 24-inch cage. Since they are very active, getting a larger cage than this is ideal.
Glass aquariums are better than wire cages because they offer a deep bedding layer through which gerbils can burrow. Have lots of enrichment and climbing options in your gerbil's cage, as well as an exercise wheel to keep it active.
Two degus can comfortably fit in a 24 x 18 x 24-inch cage. Since these rodents are avid chewers, opt for a metal or wire cage rather than a plastic or wooden one.
To satisfy their chewing, include chew toys and woodblocks in the degus' cage. There should also be a dust bath in a shallow bowl so that the rodents can keep their coats in optimal condition.
Breeding Differences
The average gestation period for degus is three months, and they will get 3-10 pups per litter. Newborn degus are 14.6g on average and are quite developed.
The gestation period for gerbils is 24-26 days, after which they get 5-6 pups per litter. The pups are born deaf, blind, and hairless. They cannot survive without the mother until they are about six weeks.
Lifespan Differences
You can expect your gerbil to live for 2-4 years while a degu's average lifespan is 5-8 years.
Wrapping Up
Despite the above differences, both degus and gerbils will need quality healthcare. Get your pet to a vet immediately you bring it home and ensure its vaccinations are up-to-date.
This is because degus and gerbils can become infection carriers into your home when not properly vaccinated. Aim to imitate your pet's natural habitat as much as possible.
After all, even pets need some semblance of their natural habitats for them to feel at home and remain emotionally healthy.

'Cat-Eye' Boy Video Said To Show Chinese Child Who Sees In Dark
By: Natalie Wolchover
Published: 01/31/2012 09:46 AM EST on Lifes Little Mysteries
According to a news reel from China, a young boy there possesses the ability to see in the dark. Like a Siamese cat's, his sky-blue eyes flash neon green when illuminated by a flashlight, and his night vision is good enough to enable him to fill out questionnaires while sitting in a pitch black room — or so say the reporters who visited Nong Yousui in his hometown of Dahua three years ago.
The footage of Nong and his strange-looking eyes originally surfaced in 2009; it got little attention at the time, but is now making a splash all over the Web. If the boy really does have a genetic mutation that confers night vision, then he would be an interesting subject for analysis by vision scientists, evolutionary biologists, and genetic engineers alike — but does he?
The experts we shared the video with say Nong does have unusually colored irises considering his ethnicity, but he's not the next step in human evolution.
Night vision is made possible by a layer of cells, called the tapetum lucidum, in the eyes of cats and other nocturnal animals. This thin layer is a "retroreflector" — when a beam of light hits it, it reflects the light directly back along its incoming path. The reflected beam constructively interferes with the incoming light beam, amplifying the overall signal that hits the retina and enabling the animal to see in very low-light conditions. Retroreflection also causes cat eyes to flash when they are lit upon at night, and experts say Nong's eyes, if they are truly catlike, should do the same. [Red-Green & Blue-Yellow: The Stunning Colors You Can't See]
"It would be easy to test the boy's eyes for retroreflection (eyeshine), which would be indicative of a tapetum lucidum," said Nathaniel Greene, a physicist at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania who has studied retroreflection.
In fact, such a test is run in the video.
In the footage, Nong's teacher claims the boy's eyes flash when shined with a flashlight in the dark, but the reporters don't seem to be able to catch the effect on camera. When Nong's eyes are illuminated in the dark, they appear normal. James Reynolds, a pediatric ophthalmologist at State University of New York in Buffalo, noted, "A video could capture [eyeshine] easily, just like in nature films of leopards at night."
Furthermore, there is no single genetic mutation that could produce a fully formed and functioning tapetum lucidum, Reynolds explained; such an ability would require multiple mutations, which don't just happen all at once. Evolution happens incrementally, he said, not by leaps and bounds. "Evolutionarily, mutations can result in differences that allow for new environmental niche exploitation. But such mutations are modified over long periods. A functional tapetum in a human would be just as absurd as a human born with wings. It can't happen," he told Life's Little Mysteries.
On the other hand, in the footage, the reporters gave Nong a questionnaire to fill out while sitting in a dark room, and they acted surprised by his ability to see and complete the fill-in-the-blank form. Even if he doesn't have cat eyes, he may nevertheless have unusually good night vision, Reynolds said. He could have a rod-rich retina, for example — a retina that contains a higher than usual number of cells involved in light detection. Or the video could be a total hoax.
"It is hard to say what the truth is about this boy," said Dennis Brooks, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine. "A good ophthalmic examination by a physician ophthalmologist is in order, I think."

The Economic Impact of Montana's Renewable Portfolio Standard
Montana's renewable power mandates will force state electricity consumers to pay an extra $225 million in 2015 versus baseline figures. In addition, the mandate will bring few environmental benefits, as it is unclear whether the use of renewable power sources such as wind and solar actually reduces overall greenhouse gas emissions. Wind and solar power require significant fossil fuel-based backup power to accommodate variability in the availability of wind and sunlight for power conversion. A recent study published by the Bentek energy market analytics company found wind power can actually increase pollution and greenhouse gas emissions because the constant ramping up and ramping down of fossil-fuel backup systems is less efficient than running them at a steady pace.


Historic Environment
Historic environment considerations should form a key part of a development proposal and should help inform and shape the proposal put forward. Historic Buildings and Historic Monuments are located across the country and an assessment of the impacts of development on these key features will likely be required.
The overall impact of the proposal on the historic environment will depend on the proximity of the feature and the size/scale of the proposal put forward. In certain circumstances it may be worthwhile engaging with the relevant consultation authority before submitting an application in order to gauge an early opinion on acceptability.

Telescript is the language used by General Magic's Tabriz software.
Telescript in 100 words or less
Telescript is an object-oriented, remote programming language. It is a platform that enables the creation of active, distributed network applications. There are three simple concepts to the language: agents, places and "go". Agents "go" to places, where they interact with other agents to get work done on a user's behalf. Agents are in fact mobile programs capable of transporting themselves from place to place in a Telescript network.
The language is implemented by the Telescript engine. The Telescript engine is a multitasking interpreter that integrates onto an operating system through a programming interface called the Telescript API. The Telescript engine is a server implementation.

Simultaneous action is designated by replacing the "〜ます" ending of the polite present positive tense of the first verb with "〜ながら". The tense is then determined by the latter verb. Both actions should be performed by the same person.
Those more comfortable thinking in terms of the dictionary form can see this as adding "〜ながら" to the stem of vowel-stem verbs, or the い-row of consonant-stem verbs (e.g. 飲む -> 飲みながら example below).
The irregular verbs are also put in the い-row making them identical to the consontant-stem verbs.

In Optimizely X Web, you'll create experiments and campaigns using pages, events, tags, and audiences. Together, these features will help you create, target, and measure the impact of experiences that you deliver to your visitors.
They're reusable and always on. Set them up when you first start using Optimizely X so you can passively collect baseline data, even before you run your first test. When you're ready run experiment or campaigns, your pre-built components will help you set them up quickly.
Set up pages, tags, and events in the Implementation dashboard. For in-depth information about implementing Optimizely X on your site, try our Optimizely Academy course, Implement Optimizely X.
1. Add Pages
Pages are URL templates that let you choose where campaigns and experiments run. They're reusable URL patterns that are always on. You'll use them to tell Optimizely where to deliver experiments, personalized experiences, and recommendations on your site.
What URLs will you use to run experiments and campaigns on your site: your homepage, all product detail pages, a checkout flow? Add pages based on the URL (or pattern of URLs) where you want to test or personalize an experience. Learn to set up a page.
Here's a quick walkthrough:
By default, experiments and campaigns activate immediately after the snippet loads. Sometimes, you may need to set experiments to activate based on the presence of an element on the page, an event, or your custom code. This can be especially helpful if you're using Angular, Backbone, Ember, or Knockout. Here's how set up pages that activate conditionally.
2. Add Events
You can think of events as the "verbs" of Optimizely X. They track the actions that people take on your site, such as clicks, pageviews, form submissions, and purchases. Learn to set up a click, pageview, or custom event.
Here's a quick video walkthrough of setting up an event.
Above, we use Simple Match to create a product detail page for the 5 Panel Camp Cap. To target all product pages, we'd enter the broader URL ( with Substring Match instead.
3. Add Tags
If events are "verbs" such as clicks and pageviews, then tags are "adjectives." They describe key parts of a page that visitors engage with, such as the type of product and what it costs.
If you're using Optimizely X Web Personalization, tags and events provide data-rich picture of your visitors' behavior. Use them together to create behaviorally targeted audiences. Add tags to collect the data that Optimizely uses to render recommendations. Learn to set up a tag.

In a longtable, how do I retrieve the width of the longest line for each column?
I'd like to use the longtable environment in combination with the ltablex package. The latter allows for weighting the columns, such that column 2 is twice as large as column 1, for instance.
I have many tables to format, and due to their data source it's not possible to give the tables any hint on column widths. As often there is a lot of text in one or two columns, but little text in the others, it doesn't make sense to just use X columns. Therefore, I'd like to dynamically adjust the proportions of the table.
My idea is to find the width of the longest line of each column. Using these width it should then be possible to calculate the proportions correctly (while granting each column a mininum width).
Thanks for your help!

That is essentially a description of tabulary as opposed to tabularx so you can look in the source of that package for how to do it, but in particular there is a merge of tabulary and longtable here:

Unit Converter
Conversion formula
The conversion factor from cubic inches to teaspoons is 3.3246753246849, which means that 1 cubic inch is equal to 3.3246753246849 teaspoons:
1 in3 = 3.3246753246849 tsp
To convert 51.7 cubic inches into teaspoons we have to multiply 51.7 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic inches to teaspoons. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 in3 → 3.3246753246849 tsp
51.7 in3 → V(tsp)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in teaspoons:
V(tsp) = 51.7 in3 × 3.3246753246849 tsp
V(tsp) = 171.88571428621 tsp
The final result is:
51.7 in3 → 171.88571428621 tsp
We conclude that 51.7 cubic inches is equivalent to 171.88571428621 teaspoons:
51.7 cubic inches = 171.88571428621 teaspoons
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 teaspoon is equal to 0.0058178191489195 × 51.7 cubic inches.
Another way is saying that 51.7 cubic inches is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0058178191489195 teaspoons.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fifty-one point seven cubic inches is approximately one hundred seventy-one point eight eight six teaspoons:

If parents or carers are concerned that their child is being contacted by adults as a result of having shared sexual imagery they should report to NCA-CEOP at _URL_
ChildLine has developed an app for young people, which is designed to help them diffuse pressures on them to send an explicit image. The app, called Zipit, offers witty images to send instead of explicit ones and provides advice on how to engage in safe chat and what to do if you are threatened. More information is available at _URL_
'Nude Selfies: What Parents and Carers Need to Know'.
CEOP have launched a series of four short animated films for parents and carers offering advice on how to help keep their children safe from the risks associated with sharing nude and nearly nude images. The films can be seen at _URL_
The films aim to help parents and carers:
- Understand young people's motivations for sending nude selfies.
- Plan to respond positively and constructively to an incident in which their child has shared a nude selfie.
- Gain confidence and skills in initiating preventative conversations.
- Identify risky behaviours or situations and know where to seek help.
- Know how to get help if a child is at risk after sharing an image.
Further advice is available from the services shown below:

The NSPCC is complementing the ChildLine initiative by providing advice to parents and carers on what they can do to advise and support their children in relation to "sexting." Many children and young people are more savvy about internet and mobile phone technology than their parents, so the advice, posted on the NSPCC website, will enable parents to take action.
The NSPCC has produced a guide to assist parents talk with children about the dangers and legalities surrounding sexting, empowering them to say no to requests. Access to the guide can be found here
The Lucy Faithful Foundation is the only UK-wide charity focused solely on reducing the risk of children being sexually abused and exploited and as part of their work they offer support for parents whose children have been affected by these issues.
Their guide is aimed at supporting parents whose children have already got into trouble online – helping them to understand what has happened, why and how parents can talk to their children and get further support. Download: What's The Problem?
This looks at three key issues:
- My child exhibits risk taking behaviour by accessing adult pornography
- My child has behaved irresponsibly by sending or receiving sexual images
- My child has been arrested for viewing indecent images of children
The guide explains to parents:
- What the law in the UK says about children accessing sexual material online, including taking, distributing and posting indecent images and video of themselves or of other children (under 18)
- How to respond to children who have produced, shared or viewed illegal images online.
- The consequences of illegal online sexual behaviour on work, family and social life
- The possible impact of regular access to adult sexual material on relationships.
- How to help their children cope with peer pressure to share indecent material online
- Where to access support to prevent a repeat of their child's worrying online sexual behaviour.
- Additional resources include literature and video materials aimed at young people who have been involved in 'sexting'
- The guide also alerts parents to the most popular sites used by children to access adult sexual materials as well as to send and receive sexual images of themselves.

"Civility's defining characteristic is its ties to city and society. The word derives from the Latin civitas, which means city, especially in the sense of civic community," says author P.M Forni in his book Choosing Civility: The Twenty Five Rules of Considerate Conduct. Another Latin word for city is urbs, which refers to the physical structures or buildings that make up a city. "While buildings and roads make up our physical city or campus, people and relationships make up our community."
In the Fall of 2003, the Office of Campus Life launched the CIVITAS campaign to encourage civility and responsible citizenship in the AU community. Since then, AU community members have continued the goals of this campaign through many different efforts.
CIVITAS, the Latin word for city, was chosen as the theme for the campaign because it connotes the kind of environment that shapes us as good citizens and good neighbors.
The mission of the CIVITAS campaign was to heighten our awareness of the relationship between our personal conduct and the quality of campus life. What we do and say always has an effect on others, whether we see it or not. Civility means more than just holding the door open for someone or respecting campus facilities and grounds. It means consistently treating people with consideration and respect. When our behavior is guided by concern for others in our community, we are being civil!
Practicing civility requires thoughtful behavior and continuous refinement of our perceptions of what matters to us and to others. A short checklist of actions can help us move toward more civil conduct:
Choose - We choose how we behave. Make your choices conscious ones by deciding ahead of time how you will act in a situation and rehearsing it in your mind.
Act – Act thoughtfully, as if you were in the other person's shoes!
Reflect – Consider how your actions and words have made others feel. If you have caused harm or discomfort, apologize, and consider how you can modify your behavior the next time.

How Are Vehicle Trackers Used in Motorsport?
At Verilocation, we have become aware many of our customers may wonder how vehicle trackers are used within motorsports. Motorsports are constantly pushing the boundaries of what human engineering can achieve, and they are now using state of the art vehicle tracker systems to help them. In sports where everyone 100th of a second matters, tracker systems are giving engineers and trainers incredible insight into how their vehicles, and their drivers, perform under pressure. The data provided by the vehicle tracker units can help to cut out small inefficiencies, and improve the way drivers handle their cars in order to strike a balance between efficiency and lap time. As well as that, they are helping to give spectators and engineers alike a fuller understanding of races.
Why are Trackers Important in Sport?
In order to be the best at a motorsport, you need to combine a quality driver with an ultra-efficient machine. Vehicle tracker systems allow the engineers to monitor the engine as it flies around the track at high speeds. The vehicle tracker also, crucially, allows them to monitor how the driver controls the car. By recording and providing feedback regarding the drivers' acceleration and braking patterns, training can be focused on improving fuel efficiency - a key aspect of modern motor racing. By analysing whether the driver should brake early or late on a tough corner - or whether extra acceleration is needed on a certain part of the track - minor adjustments can be made that often mean the difference between a win and a loss in these incredibly competitive sports.
Use of a Vehicle Tracker in Formula One Racing
Formula One is the most lucrative of all Motorsports and is hugely popular across the globe. The teams do everything in their power to get the most out of their vehicles, and huge amounts of money are spent on improving the final product. A good vehicle tracker system can give the F1 cars a performance boost, but they are also increasingly useful for spectators who are trying to keep track of all of the happenings during a race. As the sport is heavily reliant on pit stops, and the speed of these often decided who the overall winner is, spectators can use the technology to gain an overview of the whole race, and see how the pit stops affect the overall standings. Broadcasters use the vehicle tracker technology to provide live, real time placing information for viewers. This is an important feature as, otherwise, viewers would only be able to focus on the racers who the broadcasters decide to showcase. Introducing a vehicle tracker system to the sport has heightened the excitement for many off of Formula One's fans, and ensured that the sport continues to innovate.

No one can deny the importance of an academic institution, as it plays an important role in enhancing the learning capabilities and skills of students. Besides providing knowledge, the core objective of an academic institute is to groom social interaction skills of younger generation while helping them to succeed in the competitive world. Choosing an educational institution can be a daunting task for parents, since it is one of the most important decisions parents can make in their children's education. Therefore, mostly educational instates used academic logos to clearly show the mission statement, sincerity and dedication level of the institute to the parents and students. If truth be told, an academic logo design is the most convincing and effective way to draw attention of intended audience. The features given below are some important characteristics of academic logos:
Imagery related to an Academic Logo
Since an academic logo design is a clear representation of an institute, therefore it is very important to choose more relevant images for such logos. Images such as libraries, books, torches, sword, pencils or other related symbols are used in an academic logo design, making this visual appearance impressive and clear. This will clearly explain the educational and enlightening nature of the particular institute.
Typefaces linked to Academic Logos
When it comes to an academic logo, sensible font selection is the most important factor to create an understandable graphical image for the viewers. Explicable and professional fonts can make the logo design easily readable, helping people to read and remember the name of your institute. This will surely provide recognition and a strong credibility to your educational establishment.
Colors Selection for an Academic Logo Design
To represent the mission statement and actual purpose of academic institutes, an appropriate color selection is an absolute must for academic logos. Dark colors such as navy blue, black, brown or green are some of the best color choices for an academic logo design. The right colors can definitely make a positive impression in the minds of students and parents, making it very easy for the people to choose your institute among others.
These are a few prominent characteristics of an academic logo design which can serve as a unique brand identity for your organization. The main objective for creating academic logos is to make people aware of your educational services and convince them to choose your academic institute instead of others.

I recently learned from John Cook about a new paper by Javier Cilleruelo, Florian Luca, and Lewis Baxter proving that every positive integer can be written as a sum of three palindromes. A palindrome is a number that is the same when written forward or backward, like.
The really cool thing is that the proof essentially consists of a (very long, very detailed) algorithm, which, for any positive integer, explicitly finds three palindromes which sum to! For example, when (the first 21 decimal digits of ), their algorithm gives the three palindromes
You can easily verify (try it!) that these are all palindromes, and that they add up to.
ghci> p1 = 210100100111001001012 ghci> p2 = 98639929400492993689 ghci> p3 = 5419235847485329145 ghci> isPalindrome x = show x == reverse (show x) ghci> isPalindrome p1 && isPalindrome p2 && isPalindrome p3 True ghci> p1 + p2 + p3 314159265358979323846
The reason this is so cool is that in many cases, the proof of a theorem of the form "For every integer, there exists a thing" might be nonconstructive—that is, it shows that for every it can't be the case that there doesn't exist a thing, which "proves" the theorem but doesn't actually help us find the things which we suposedly know must exist. But this proof is very much constructive: not only does it show that every positive integer must be expressible as a sum of three palindromes, it actually backs it up with explicit evidence by giving us a way to find the palindromes.
Apparently the authors have written a Python program which implements the algorithm, and I have asked for a copy; I'm excited to play with it! I'd implement it myself, except that the algorithm has so many cases and sub-cases and sub-sub-cases and special adjustments to the sub-sub-cases, etc. that it would probably take me a week.


For Hallowed Ground
For Hallowed Ground is a turn based digital board game where you play as one of three teams to try to capture the sacred lands. The board is made up of hex tiles where the player can move to and engage in exciting combat casting unique spells with faith. Faith is gathered at temples scattered around the map.
Turn Rules
The player must move all their pieces using at most two (2) of three (3) movement abilities, but not less than one (1) movement abilities. These abilities are:
 1. Move
 2. Attack
 3. Rotate
Some basic turns would be something like:
 1. Move to a purple tile with first piece and attack.
 2. Attack to a red tile with second piece and rotate.
 3. Move to a blue tile with third piece and rotate.
 4. Move to a blue tile with fourth piece and end turn.
Spells are powerful abilities acquired from the Gods. These are the real game changers because they can be used at any time during your turn. However, you must be in a certain formation (a particular way your pieces are placed on the board) to cast the spell.
Player Input
The player can either click on the tile they want to select or they can tab through their units. These are separated into 2 different functions.
If the mouse is clicked, the code forms a raycast at the mouse position.
It then passes the hexTr into SelectTile, which selects a tile based on the selection method.
Artificial Intelligence
The AI in this game is developed by Josh Mahler (that's me!). It uses a Utility based AI to tell the player's opponents how to take their turns.
UtilityAction is the base class for everything scorers.
I used a Weighted Random algorithm for this. This uses "weights" or numbers given to the computer based on the board position it's in and where opponents are facing. The function is a bit long so I will split it up into multiple pictures.
Weighted Random Figure 1.1
Weighted Random Figure 1.2
The position it's in is based on the health it's currently and if it can reach a nearby shrine and/or biome tile. I created a heatmap for the possible tiles everyone can move and attack to. This is the second part of the setup for the algorithm. This tells the AI where it is best suited to move to. This causes the player's opponents to sometimes flank the player and move behind where the player's pieces are currently facing.
Orientation/Rotating Pieces
If you rotate a piece, it shows the new tiles the piece can move to. This is the function that gets called as the middleman for that process. It may not seem like much, but it is the most helpful function I created for this project.
Tools for Designers
I created some tools early in production for this game. These are the map maker, moveset maker, and formation maker. All these tools are easy to use and let the designers go wild with creative ideas. These tools helped in the later production of the game, particularly when we had to create a tutorial.
Moveset Maker
This image is showing off one possible use of the moveset maker tool. The designers would come up with where the piece can attack (red) and move (blue) on paper. This would get translated to the middle image (blue -> blue, red -> red, overlap -> purple). This can all be finished in 5-10 minutes using this tool.
User Interface
The UI/UX in this game is the game. The scrollable field and formations are the obvious UI choices in the game because they stand out. However, all the hex tile color changes are done in a complex way. I could not have done this project without one resource, This was a savior during all stages of production and definitely deserves some praise. I used the axial coordinate system as the main way to reference hexes. In the map maker tool, they are instantiated in an odd-row horizontal layout, then translated to an axial coordinate to get the name of the tile. Only when the user wants to rotate a piece is it ever referencing something other than axial coordinates. I take the axial coordinate of the tile and rotate it using cube coordinates. Then I get translate the cube coordinate back to axial coordinate to get the tile.
The camera can rotate and zoom as well. Holding Alt allows you to rotate the camera as you see fit. Holding middle mouse button (scroll wheel) allows you to translate the camera. Scrolling with middle mouse button allows you to zoom in and out with the camera.

When we say "chocolate milk," it brings images of our childhood. After all, it's quite common for children to enjoy such a sweet and comforting drink. But did you know that chocolate milk is a much better and more effective post-workout drink than Gatorade, Powerade, or those protein shakes?
Yup, you heard that one right. Our childhood favorite chocolate milk has been found to be a more suitable drink for those who want a great "pick me up" after doing some intense physical activities. Aside from that, chocolate milk is also considerably less expensive and more nutritionally sound than the popular energy drinks being sold these days.
There are a number of reasons why chocolate milk is considered an excellent post-workout drink. Let's take a look at some of them.
- High carbohydrate and protein content
Chocolate milk has twice the carbohydrate and protein content of most sports drinks. This quality makes it more effective at replenishing and soothing tired muscles.
- High water content
Thanks to its high water content, it's also good for preventing dehydration. It effectively replaces the body fluids we lost as sweat while working out.
- Rich in nutrients
Chocolate milk also contains nutrients that help ensure your health and well-being. It contains calcium, as well as small amounts of sodium and sugar. These additives help athletes regain energy and retain water in their body.
- Helps with recovery
About 8 to 12 ounces of chocolate milk is enough to help your body recover from strenuous physical activities.
With its unique qualities, chocolate milk is ideal for:
- Cyclists, swimmers, and long-distance runners.
- Athletes involved in sports that require high endurance and constant sustained movement.
- Competing athletes that require high levels of calories, carbohydrates, and protein.
- Fitness enthusiasts who spend at least 90 minutes exercising.
If you're looking for a less expensive post-workout drink, make sure you give chocolate milk a shot. Not only is it tasty, it can help you quickly recover your energy, too. Just make sure to consult your nutritionist or dietitian and pair your daily health regimen a balanced diet to get good results.
