The NFL's rules protect quarterbacks, and for good reason. There simply aren't enough of them who can perform at a high level.
The protections include preventing certain hits on quarterbacks and permitting certain behaviors aimed at allowing quarterbacks to avoid otherwise legal hits. The Panthers propose limiting the latter.
Specifically, Carolina has proposed a rule change aimed at expanding the definition of intentional grounding, on the basis that the current rule doesn't adequately prevent fouls.
Here's the current rule: "It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer,facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver. If a player intentionally throws a ball to the ground, it is intentional grounding, unless the receiver is surrounded by defenders on an attempted screen pass."
The proposal would remove this sentence: "A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver."
The only problem is that the revised rule would leave the term "realistic chance of completion" undefined. But maybe the wisdom of the proposal is that "realistic chance of completion" doesn't need to be defined. Maybe common sense should apply, since the current definition of "realistic chance of completion" is completely nonsensical.
A pass that "lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver" doesn't necessarily have a "realistic chance of completion." A pass that has a realistic chance of completion has a "realistic chance of completion," and fans tends to know it when they see it.
As the rule is currently written and interpreted, the quarterback needs to do little more than spike the ball for intentional grounding to be avoided. So if the current rule is going to remain in place, why not just let a quarterback who is feeling the heat spike the ball?
That would make far more sense than the current rule, which lets the dart not just miss the board but fail to even strike the wall.

Charles Stewart Parnell
by Mary Grant
Victorian plaster sculpture still remains an unfashionable and little researched subject. Recent research sheds light on the production process for Mary Grant's plaster bust of the Irish politician, Charles Stewart Parnell, created in 1892, the year after his death. The bust is on display in room 21 at the National Portrait Gallery. Mary Grant (_PHONE_), one of the few women working professionally as a sculptor in Victorian England, was a niece of Sir Francis Grant, portrait painter, President of the Royal Academy and Trustee of the National Portrait Gallery. The Irish patriot, politician and landowner, Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-91), was leader of the Irish party in the House of Commons, and a passionate advocate of Irish home rule.
Many sculptors employed professional plaster workers, sometimes called sculptors' moulders, to undertake specialist work in the sculpture production process. Mary Grant was no exception and used Fernando Meacci (c._PHONE_), an Italian-born piece moulder and figure maker, for the last five years of his life. Meacci lived in Cale Street, Chelsea, not far from Mary Grant's studio in Tite Street, a fashionable location for artists. Meacci's account book and related copy invoices, covering the period from 1886 until his death, age 56, in 1893, is in the London Metropolitan Archives. As well as working for Mary Grant, he undertook numerous tasks for Alfred Gilbert and Edward Onslow Ford.
Meacci charged £1.12s on 28 January 1892 for waste moulding, casting and chipping out a bust of Parnell, including a pedestal for the bust, and a further £5.10s on 5 February for "making a Gelatine Mould" of the bust and casting three copies. Waste moulding was a process of forming a mould but at the expense of losing ('wasting') the original, which had to be chipped out from the mould. A gelatine mould was a flexible type of mould used in casting. It is very likely that the National Portrait Gallery bust, purchased directly from the artist for £10.10s in 1897, is one of the copies produced by Meacci in 1892. This little-known plaster figure maker is the subject of an entry in the forthcoming directory, British bronze statue founders and plaster figure makers, _PHONE_. Further details of the directory, which goes live in January 2011, can be found at British bronze founders and plaster figure makers.

Was there a school in Wilmington named for Zebulon B. Vance?
Gail Calloway
Q. Was there ever a school in Wilmington by the name of Zebulon B. Vance? Time period would have been in the 1940s.
Zebulon B. Vance was born in 1830 in Weaverville, in Buncombe County near Asheville. He was governor of the Confederate State of North Carolina during the Civil War, an N.C. Congressman, state legislator, and Confederate colonel. He was an influential leader of the Civil War Reconstruction in North Carolina and is considered by some to be the most popular political leader the state has ever produced.
Being the astute and beloved person that he was, there are many monuments, towns, buildings and schools named after him all across the state. The schools found named after him are Zebulon B. Vance High School in Charlotte, and Zebulon B.Vance Elementary in Kittrel. None were found in the Cape Fear area.
If any readers remember a school in Southeastern North Carolina named for Vance, let us know in the Comments section below.
Who are the schools named after?
Why did they change the name of the Williston Trojans to Tigers?

Dumacc is a former scientist and an unwitting part of a Galactic Conspiracy by several governments.
Dumacc was charged by planetary governments to work on Project Sunstorm, harnessing solar flares to turn them into a weapon. The first test of the Project caused an environmental disaster on Tranquis VII, where the Project was located. Dumacc, along with his associate Karter, began to continue Project Sunstorm development in a secret location built under Tranquis, the capital city of Tranquis VII.
When the Brains attacked the city, Dumacc and Karter were left unharmed and saw how the Brains were possessing the inhabitants, turning them into shambling robots as the previous radiation bombing from Project Sunstorm rendered them half-immune. Karter and Dumacc began working on creating a full immunity, but were very concerned about hiding Project Sunstorm from the Brains. After Karter brought Dunkan Bulk and William Furno into the lab, Dumacc had them imprisoned when they refused to stop fighting the Brains. When a security robot was infected, compromising the Project's location, Karter tried to convince Dumacc that they need to transfer the project to another location and sacrifice themselves to preserve it. Instead, Dumacc had Bulk and Furno freed so they could defend the location. Dumacc was then taken over by a Brain and began to activate Project Sunstorm but was defeated by Bulk.
Abilities and Traits
Dumacc was a good, honest scientist running Project Sunstorm, but was actually a pawn of the governments he worked for.

Summer Compass: COVID-Style
Updated: Jul 27, 2020
by Lindsay Kolquist
Because of COVID-19, Summer Compass looks different than it has in the past. We've traded in bussing and classrooms for walk groups and virtual challenges. Summer Compass 2020 was thoughtfully designed to meet specific goals by incorporating specific strategies.
Summer Compass 2020 Goals:
1. Social Interaction
In a time of social distancing and
video chatting, social engagement and support is crucial. We know that kids benefit from nurturing, supportive relationships, and constructive social engagement, which most of our kids experience at home. The benefits of having non-familial adults (Collaborative staff) in their lives are the additional promotion of high expectations, opportunity to build trust, and outside sources of encouragement. As cited by Mentor Duluth, positive adult role models were identified in a citywide Duluth needs assessment as high priority for our community at-large and we are proud to be part of that solution.
2. Healthy Habit Promotion
With limited meal services and stay-at-home recommendations, it's easy to fall into unhealthy habits. Kids do not learn and grow unless their basic needs are met. We are working to meet those needs and relay information about healthy habits to our students. This is one of the ways we provide integrated student supports, one of the four pillars of community schools, at Myers-Wilkins.
3. Engaging Curriculum
Kids have been physically away from school since mid-March. Even with top-notch teachers and well-planned distance learning, kids are falling behind academically. Summer Compass is the perfect opportunity to keep the learning ball rolling. Our creative, engaging mode of instruction: LEGOs.
Summer Compass 2020 Strategies:
1. Walk Groups
Working towards our social interaction goal, weekly walks serve as emotional check-ins and social engagement time. Walks groups are socially distanced and with small groups. Kids develop relationships and trust. Our second goal, to promote healthy habits, is also addressed. Walk groups expose children to sunlight, open air, and natural elements, all of which benefit their physical health. Kids' physiological needs are met when they receive healthy snacks and engage in physical activity. Being part of a walk group creates a sense of belonging. The third Summer Compass goal is to create engaging learning opportunities. Walks include hands-on (COVID style) activities and reflection.
1. Virtual Challenges
Virtual challenges allow peer-support and interaction, and they promote teamwork at home. They teach kids to ask for help when needed. All challenges are LEGO-based and all kids received a free box of LEGOs at the start of the summer. The virtual challenges also encourage kids to get outside and take care of their physical and emotional health through nature-based and self-reflective activities. Challenges teach stress-management, emotional regulation, and identity development. Summer Compass, as an extended learning opportunity, bridges two academic years using literacy, STEM, social-emotional, and art challenges.
In a survey done by the University of Minnesota Extension Center for Youth Development, both educators and out of school time leaders agreed that social emotional learning is critical to academic performance. Play promotes social competence, emotional resilience, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Through play, kids develop behavioral, social, and emotional flexibility and development.
This summer, we are working to deliver socially engaging, health-oriented, and academically engaging programming for our Summer Compass students. With walk groups and virtual challenges underway, we are on track to do so.

Why should value chains be transparent?
Information asymmetry is an economic concept that describes transactions where one party has more or better information than the other, creating an imbalance of power, leading one party in a transaction to unfairly benefit at the expense of the other. While the concept may seem somewhat theoretical, its real world consequences are felt in everyday dealings between actors from the most powerful governments and corporations to street vendors and villagers across the world. In the context of smallholder mining, which contains a large and at times complicated number of value chain actors, unequal access to information leads certain actors to be on the losing end of the transactions that take place within the value chain.
As an example, smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa number around 33 million, represent 80% of all farms in the region and contribute up to 90% of food production in some sub-Saharan African countries.1 Because of their relatively weaker position vis-a-vis the other value chain participants (in terms of finance, education, rural location and other factors), the smallholder farmer is often the one who is significantly more affected by unequal or insufficient information. While this gap in information is most acutely and directly felt in terms of markets and price, it is also equally pervasive in the planning, production and post-harvest management aspects of smallholder agriculture. For that reason, most of the interventions that seek to address the lack of information transparency affecting the farmer primarily target the market aspect, followed by the other areas.
Still, while the farmer remains the key beneficiary of projects intended to improve transparency in agricultural value chains, access to information is not a zero-sum game. Even as farmers receive better access to the information they need, other actors in the value chain have also sought to address their respective information gaps. To this end, second to the farmer, no value chain participant has received more attention in recent years than consumers, whose increased interest in knowing the source of the food they consume has led to a new emphasis on traceability.
Open data can play a pivotal role in breaking down the asymmetry of information that exists between value chain actors, making them more accountable to citizens, civil society and to other actors in those value chains. It can do so in several ways.

A continuity of operations plan (COOP) helps certified community behavioral health clinics (CCBHCs) prepare for emergency or disaster events.
Emergencies and disasters can affect all aspects of CCBHC operations, including therapeutic services, continued supply of medications, building structure, and utilities. The stability of CCBHC consumers and the well-being and availability of staff can also be affected. The CCBHC criteria include specific requirements for developing a COOP.
The essential functions and personnel required for the maintenance of daily operations under normal, non-emergency conditions remain the essential requirements for operations under emergency and disaster conditions. For this reason, preparations must be made in advance of emergencies to ensure that the CCBHC maintains operational stability on behalf of its consumers when a disaster or emergency occurs. A COOP helps to prepare the CCBHC for emergency and disaster events.
Resources for Developing a COOP
The following resources can help CCBHCs gain a comprehensive understanding of the many components that need to be in place to ensure continued access to services after an emergency or disaster. These resources include plan templates and tools; potential community health care delivery sources and social services partners; and local, state, and federal partners that could provide uninterrupted services to the CCBHC's consumers.
- Continuity of Operations directives, templates, and guidance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
- Disaster Mental Health: A Critical Response: A Training Curriculum for Mental Health and Spiritual Care Professionals in Healthcare Settings from the University of Rochester Medical Center – 2006 (PDF | 19 MB)
- Disaster Mental Health Services: A Guidebook for Clinicians and Administrators from the Homeland Security Digital Library – 1998
- Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters from the National Academies Press – 2015
- Hospital Continuity Resources from the California Hospital Association
- New Hampshire Disaster Behavioral Health Response Teams from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services
The SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center (DTAC) also helps local entities deliver an effective mental health and substance misuse response to disasters.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has developed criteria for CCBHC certification. Access the complete CCBHC certification criteria – 2016 (PDF | 789 KB).
The criteria include the following requirements related to developing a COOP:
Program Requirement: Availability and Accessibility of Services
2.a.8. CCBHCs have in place a continuity of operations/disaster plan.
Program Requirement: Staffing
1.c.1. Among other things, training must address the clinic's continuity plan, and that training occurs at orientation and thereafter at reasonable intervals as may be required by the state or accrediting agencies.

Study Of A Vietnam 155 Km Bauxite Slurry Pipeline From The Highlands To Coast
Vietnam's bauxite resources are mainly found in the Highlands region, which is also home to the upper catchment areas of some of Vietnam's most significant river systems. The location of alumina refineries in the Highlands region with their associated residue disposal facilities raises serious environmental concerns. The tropical climate zone brings periods of intense monsoonal rainfall that needs to be contained and managed. The likelihood and impact of fugitive dust emissions, ground water contamination, or discharge of contaminated water streams must be minimized. The existing infrastructure for transportation of raw materials, refinery supplies and product alumina to and from the refinery is also limited. Therefore, potential investors will have to pay high costs to minimize the environmental risks and to upgrade and improve transport infrastructure in order to build and operate their refineries in the Highlands.
One potential solution to these problems is to locate future alumna refineries closer to the coast some distance from the mines and beneficiation plants in the Highlands. In coastal locations, red mud can safely be neutralized and stored using sea water and alumina product can easily be transported to a nearby port. A Vietnamese alumina project has now been proposed to build a mine and beneficiation plant in the Highlands (Gia Lai province) and the refinery close to the coast (Binh Dinh province). The connection between the two plants will be via a 155 km bauxite slurry pipeline.
This paper describes the technical aspects of the pipeline design, operating and control philosophy, maintenance, and capital cost.

Science club lesson plans
Scientell developed a series of hands-on activities for students on atmospheric science and weather.
Central Highlands Science Centre
Primary and secondary school students, instructors and teachers
The Central Highlands Science Centre (CHSC) in Emerald, Queensland, provides a program of science experiments for primary school students.
Scientell produced detailed lesson plans and hands-on activities for the CHSC Science Club, including run sheets, resource lists, student experiment handouts, instructor notes and storyboards. The experiments included 'Why is the sky blue', 'Cloud in a bottle', 'Tornado in a bottle', 'Solar cooker', 'Do-it-yourself rainbow', 'Polarised light', 'The water cycle' and 'Wet sweat'.
Atmospheric science was one of a number of CHSC Science Club lessons featuring hands-on, entertaining activities that use easy to obtain resources from around the home or other materials that can be recycled from, or donated by, local businesses and organisations.


Looney, who assumed the role in 2011 from the founder Elizabeth Loescher.
Elizabeth Loescher founded the center in 1987 in Denver, Co. After 15 years of managing the organization, she decided to relocate to Athens to continue aiding in bringing peace to the city. The Georgia Conflict Center has various programs for all ages including the Peacemakers group. This group meets for eight weeks at a time to discuss nonviolent communication skills. The center also offers this group to the Athens Diversion Center, a work release center that houses nonviolent and minimum-security inmates.
The center mainly focuses on restorative justice, which is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by immoral behavior. It focuses on the needs of the victim as well as the offender as an approach to justice.
 "We are looking to induce an empathetic understanding between the person who has caused harm and the person who they have harmed," said Lash. "We want to work with people, since they are the experts in their own conflicts. Usually people are trying to fix others or to punish them somehow. "
Lash counsels many people who battle issues with communication. Annice Ritter was a participant in the recent Peacemakers group and Lash was able to help Ritter overcome a personal issue in her life by seeing the importance of nonviolent communication.
"In the times we are living in, we need more non-violent communication," said Ritter.
Nonviolent communication is a conflict-resolution process that has benefits for both parties in a conversation. Self-empathy, empathy for others, and honest self-expression are the three aspects of communication that create harmony among people. The Georgia Conflict Center has volunteer opportunities and encourages university students to get involved to help its members.
"Conflict exists in every aspect of a community - in schools, at work, at home," said Leslie Jones, University of Georgia student and volunteer. "The Georgia Conflict Center has brought something to Athens that not many communities focus on, but all of them experience it on a daily basis. It provides members of our community with a safe space to explore conflict and discover new strategies of addressing it."
Lash believes that the Georgia Conflict Center has the ability to make Athens a better place.
 "We empower people to take responsibility for themselves and their conflicts by connecting with their own power of choice and responsibility for their well-being," said Lash. We also offer support to those in conflict that isn't aimed at 'fixing' anyone, but instead seeks to bolster their inherent ability to express and understand meaning in the least intrusive way."
Looking back on his life, Lash is reminded that prison and restorative justice had a great impact on him and the course of his life.
"I look at my life and it's pretty miraculous," said Lash.

Do gut bacteria control your mind? | KurzweilAI
Do gut bacteria control your mind? | KurzweilAI | Radical Compassion | Scoop.it
Bacteria within you — which outnumber your own cells about 100 times — may be affecting both your cravings and moods to get you to eat what they want, and may be driving you toward obesity.
That's the conclusion of an article published this week in the journal BioEssays by researchers from UC San Francisco,Arizona State University and University of New Mexico from a review of the recent scientific literature.
How your gut microbiome may control you
The diverse community of microbes, collectively known as the gut microbiome, influence human eating behavior and dietary choices to favor consumption of the particular nutrients they grow best on, rather than simply passively living off whatever nutrients we choose to send their way.Some bacterial species prefer fat, and others sugar, for instance. They vie with each other for food and to retain a niche within their ecosystem — your digestive tract — and they also often have different aims than you do when it comes to your own actions.Bacteria may influence your decisions by releasing signaling molecules into your gut. Because the gut is linked to the immune system, the endocrine system, and the nervous system, those signals could influence your physiologic and behavioral responses — and health.Bacteria may be acting through the vagus nerve, which connects 100 million nerve cells from the digestive tract to the base of the brain, changing taste receptors, producing toxins to make you feel bad, and releasing chemical rewards to make you feel good.Certain strains of bacteria increase anxious behavior (in mice).Some strains of bacteria cause stomach cancer and perhaps other cancers.
What you can do (with medical guidance)
Make changes in what you eat. There are measurable changes in the microbiome within 24 hours of diet change, evolving on the time scale of minutes.Take appropriate probiotics. One study showed a drink containing Lactobacillus casei improved mood in those who were feeling the lowest.Kill targeted species with specific antibiotics.Acquire specialized bacteria that digest your favorite foods. (Bacteria that digest seaweed are found in humans in Japan, where seaweed is popular in the diet.)See previous KurzweilAI posts on gut bacteria
The co-authors' study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society, the Bonnie D. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin.
Jim Manske's insight:
On our trip to Korea two years ago, I started eating Kimchi regularly. (There are hundreds of varieties of Kimchi consumed there other than the cabbage Kimchi commonly found in some US grocery stores.)
I noticed an almost immediate positive effect on my digestive process as I increased the probiotic supply. Now, I wonder what other effects the members of my "biome" may be influencing. And I am grateful that we have learned to make our own kimchi, and our refrigerator has an abundance in the moment!

» Three Tips to Teach Your Child Emotional Intelligence - Jonice Webb, PhD
» Three Tips to Teach Your Child Emotional Intelligence - Jonice Webb, PhD | Radical Compassion | Scoop.it
Emotional Intelligence is a larger factor in adult life success than general intelligence. Here are three clear guidelines for raising a child with high EI.
Three Parenting Tips to Maximize Your Child's Emotional Intelligence:
Pay attention. Work hard to see your child's true nature. What does your child like, dislike, get angry about, feel afraid of, or struggle with? Feed these observations back to your child in a non-judgmental way so that your child can see herself through your eyes, and so that she can feel how well you know her.
Life Advantage: Your child will see herself reflected in your eyes, and she will know who she is. This will give her confidence in her life choices and will make her resilient to life's challenges.
Feel an emotional connection to your child. Strive to feel what your child is feeling (empathy), whether you agree with it or not. When you feel your child's emotion, he will feel an instant bond with you.
Life Advantage: Your child will learn empathy and will have healthier relationships throughout his life.
Respond competently to your child's emotional need. Do not judge your child's feeling as right or wrong. Look beyond the feeling, to the source. Help your child name her emotion. Help her manage the emotion.
Life Advantage: Your child will have a healthy relationship with his own emotions. He will naturally know that his feelings are important and how to put them into words and manage them.
No parent can follow these tips perfectly, of course. This is not about perfection; it's about making the effort. Effort in itself shows love and care. When your child sees you trying to understand his feelings or feel his feelings, whether you succeed or not, he receives a powerful message:
Your feelings matter to me.
And what your child will hear:
You matter.

When inserted in anisotropic field inside crystal the expectation value, or mean value of L is 0 = 0 and the L is quenched leaving only S so is forced to point in some local direction, but this is if the field removes the deneracy?
Is it this or it is much more complicated?

1 Answer 1
The $p$, $d$ and $f$ orbitals are only degenerate in a central potential. If you make the potential non-central, for example by putting the atom in an external magnetic field the energy levels are no longer degenerate. Putting the atom into a crystal is just another way of creating an non-central potential (though due to electostatic forces rather than magnetic). This is perhaps more clearly seen in the ligand field splitting you get when complexing your atom with suitable ligands.
I'm not sure if that's all you were asking or if there's something else. If I've missed anything perhaps you could edit your question accordingly.

King Caesar
Godzilla film series character
First appearance Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
Last appearance Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
Created by Jun Fukuda
Portrayed by Shōwa series

King Caesar (キングシーサー Kingu Shīsā?) is a kaiju who first appeared in Toho's 1974 film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.[1]
Shisa statue.
King Caesar's name and appearance are based on Shisa, which are artistically embellished stone lion statues common in Okinawa, where the film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla took place. They are an Okinawan variation on the Chinese guardian lion (石獅; Shishi, meaning "Stone Lion"), which in turn originates from Buddhist tradition in India, where lions are native. Shisa only loosely resemble actual lions on account of being based on second-hand descriptions by people who'd never seen one in person.[2] In the 1970s, general East Asian folklore were relatively unknown to Western audiences, which resulted in the translators interpreting name "Shisa" to be a Japanization of the name "Caesar".[citation needed] Toho has since trademarked it, making "King Caesar" the character's official English name.[citation needed]
Overview and development[edit]
King Caesar's character concept was inspired by a traditional Okinawan folk tale in which a Shisa protects a village from a rampaging dragon.[citation needed] This myth is referenced in the character's introductory film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, in which the titular Mechagodzilla plays the role of the evil "dragon".[citation needed] It is portrayed as a loyal and powerful protector of mankind, in reference to the role Shisa play in Okinawan tradition.[citation needed] Character profiles in supporting media describe the monster as standing 50 meters (164 feet)-100 meters (328 feet) tall and weighing 30,000 metric tons (33,069 short tons)-50,000 metric tons (55,115 short tons).[citation needed] King Caesar is shown to be swift and athletic. It can also draw an enemy's energy weapons into its eyes and reflect them back with ten times the force [3] and empower itself with solar energy.[citation needed]
Along with fellow 1970s Showa era monster Gigan, King Caesar is the favourite monster of director Ryuhei Kitamura, which led to the character's inclusion in the film Godzilla: Final Wars. [4] listed King Ceaser as #6 on their "Top 10 Godzilla Villains" list.

[en] Numerous works are related to the use of unconventional feed resources, and particularly to Mucuna Spp., in poultry diet. This review aims at describing the context of their use, their nutritional values and the constraints related to their upgrading, before considering the effects of the various methods of treatment on the reduction of the toxic substances that they could contain and on their chemical compositions. The methods of treatment are very variable and their standardisation should allow using them in rural area. Those feed could thus constitute an alternative to costly conventional feed usually used in poultry production.

The moth-like European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) is one of the most heavily studied insects you never heard of. First identified in Boston in 1917, the European corn borer came to the United States as it hitched a ride on corn from Hungary and Italy. Since then, it established itself as a pest in the eastern United States and Canada. Colored yellow and tan, the European corn borer has a wingspan of about an inch. Its larvae like to feed on the leaves of different crops, especially corn.
The cost of controlling the corn borer and the damage it causes is roughly $1 billion a year. Scientists mostly want to know how to stop or manage the bug's spread. They look at the bug's mating habits and diet, as well as how it spreads. Some of their research focuses on using genetically modified corn that produces an insecticidal protein from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. That protein protects the plants from the insect [sources: Penn State, Bessin].

Violently shaking a box of breakfast cereal does not make the particles act exactly like molecules in an ideal gas, but there are similarities. According to the 23 October PRL there is a simple mathematical expression for the distribution of particle velocities in a shaken box of steel beads which–like the formula for gas molecules–depends only on the average speed of the particles and not on the density or details of the shaking. To model problems such as grain motion in silos, soil shifting in earthquakes, and dry foods mixing in processing plants, physicists studying granular materials want equations as simple and comprehensive as those for gases and fluid motion. The new results suggest that such a theory may be possible.
The century-old kinetic theory of gases assumes the gas molecules are in equilibrium with their surroundings–they exchange energy with the outside world each time a molecule collides with a wall. But the particles in a granular material are not in equilibrium; they constantly soak up energy from the shaking source because they heat up a bit with each interparticle collision, explains Narayanan Menon of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. It's not obvious that a kinetic-type theory for granular materials is even possible for such a nonequilibrium system, Menon says.
In search of some "universal" behavior, Menon and colleague Florence Rouyer used a high-speed video camera to measure the velocities of 1.6-mm-diameter steel beads confined between two vertical, clear plastic plates separated by 1.7 mm and sealed around the edges. Their mechanical shaker vibrated the cell vertically with accelerations up to 58 times that of gravity and speeds up to 1.8 m/s. Above a shaking speed of 1 m/s Menon says the particles "forget the influence of the boundaries" that pump in energy from above and below.
Under these conditions, Rouyer and Menon found a simple, bell-shaped distribution for the probability of each horizontal velocity, although not the classic Gaussian curve from kinetic theory. Instead their distribution is broader, with more particles having higher velocities. But the distribution's shape was unchanged by variations in the frequency and amplitude of the shaking and the density of the particles. Even a circular cell gave the same distribution as a square one. And just as with an ideal gas, the distribution's width depended only upon the average speed of a particle–the granular equivalent of the temperature in a gas.
Although others have measured non-Gaussian velocity distributions for granular materials, only one other group–led by Jerry Gollub of Haverford College in Pennsylvania–has found such a consistent shape [Chaos 9, 682 (1999)], the same distribution Rouyer and Menon observed. Other researchers have reported distributions that depend on the parameters of the shaking, although it remains unclear why the results vary so much. Rouyer and Menon's velocity distributions also agree in part with predictions from a recent theoretical attempt at a kinetic-like theory of granular materials.
Troy Shinbrot of Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ, calls the work "intriguing," especially because the velocity distribution is independent of acceleration. He hopes others will be able to test the effects of other variables, such as the type of driving waveform (other than sinusoidal) and the thickness of the granular material. Gollub says the results are important because much of the large literature on statistics of granular materials is theoretical. The experiments are a "significant improvement" over his own work, he adds, and the agreement between the two is a sign that Rouyer and Menon are on the right track.


Severe ME
Around one in four people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), are house bound or bed bound. People with severe ME need help to care for themselves and complete minimal daily tasks (e.g. cleaning teeth). They can experience significant cognitive impairment and may depend on a wheelchair for mobility.
In very rare circumstances, complications from ME for people in severe subgroups has resulted in death. In Australia, Alison Hunter died in 1996, aged 19, from complications arising from ME, which included seizures, paralysis, gastrointestinal paresis and overwhelming infection.
The stories below focus on the challenges and experiences of people with severe ME.


Critical positivity ratio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Losada Zone)
Jump to: navigation, search
The critical positivity ratio (also known as the Losada ratio or the Losada line) is a largely discredited concept in positive psychology positing an exact ratio of positive to negative emotions which distinguishes "flourishing" people from "languishing" people.[1] The ratio was proposed by Marcial Losada and psychologist Barbara Fredrickson, who identified a ratio of positive to negative affect of exactly 2.9013 as separating flourishing from languishing individuals in a 2005 paper in American Psychologist.[2] The concept of a critical positivity ratio was widely embraced by both academic psychologists and the lay public; Fredrickson and Losada's paper was cited nearly 1,000 times,[3] and Fredrickson wrote a popular book expounding the concept of "the 3-to-1 ratio that will change your life".[4] Fredrickson wrote: "Just as zero degrees Celsius is a special number in thermodynamics, the 3-to-1 positivity ratio may well be a magic number in human psychology."[1]
However, the critical positivity ratio aroused the skepticism of Nick Brown, a graduate student in applied positive psychology, who felt that the paper's mathematical claims underlying the critical positivity ratio were fundamentally flawed.[5] Brown collaborated with physicist Alan Sokal and psychologist Harris Friedman on a re-analysis of the paper's data. They found that Fredrickson and Losada's paper contained "numerous fundamental conceptual and mathematical errors", as did Losada's earlier work on positive psychology, which completely invalidated their claims.[6] Losada declined to respond to the criticism, indicating that he was too busy running his consulting business.[5] Fredrickson wrote a response in which she conceded that the mathematical aspects of the critical positivity ratio were "questionable" and that she had "neither the expertise nor the insight" to defend them.[7]
In response, American Psychologist formally retracted the mathematical modeling elements of Fredrickson & Losada's paper, including the specific critical positivity ratio of 2.9013, as invalid.[8] The fundamental nature of the mathematical errors, which went unnoticed for years despite the widespread publicity surrounding the critical positivity ratio, contributed to a perception that social psychology as a field lacked scientific soundness and rigorous critical thinking.[5][3][9] Sokal later stated: "The main claim made by Fredrickson and Losada is so implausible on its face that some red flags ought to have been raised."[5]
Building on research by Barbara Fredrickson indicating that individuals with a higher ratio of positive to negative emotions tend to have more successful life outcomes,[10] and on studies by Marcial Losada applying differential equations from fluid dynamics to human emotions, Fredrickson and Losada used nonlinear dynamics modelling (based on Lorenz systems) to argue that the ideal positivity/negativity ratio lies between 2.9013 and 11.6346. They argued that those with ratios within this range will "flourish", whereas those with values outside it will "languish". They claimed that their model predicted cut-off points for the maximum and minimum positivity ratios within which one should observe qualitative changes in an individual's level of flourishing.
Losada's article was critiqued by Andrés Navas in a Note to the French website of the CNRS "Images des Mathématiques". [11] The whole theory of the critical positivity ratio was strongly critiqued by Nicholas Brown, Alan Sokal, and Harris Friedman, in a 2013 article published in American Psychologist.[6] Brown et al. argue that Losada's conclusions in previous papers using modelling from fluid dynamics, and those in his paper co-authored with Fredrickson, are not only based on poorly reported experiments – they argue that it is difficult to draw any conclusions from some previous studies by Losada because critical details are omitted, and "interpretations of results are made with little or no justification" (p. 5) – but are based on elementary errors in the use of differential equations.
Among the severe flaws described by Brown et al. in the positivity-ratio theory and its presentation were:
 - That the data used by Losada in several analyses do not meet the basic criteria for the use of differential equations (such as the use of continuous variables that evolve smoothly and deterministically over time).
 - That the differential equations used by Losada to calculate the critical positivity ratio use parameters taken directly from Lorenz's simplified, illustrative, and most importantly, arbitrary models for fluid dynamics. Losada gives no rationale for his choice of parameters. Using different arbitrary parameters gives different positivity ratios, and thus the precise values for the ratio given by Fredrickson and Losada (2.9013 to 11.6346) are meaningless.
 - That the butterfly-like Figure 1 provided by Fredrickson and Losada is not a model of the data taken from their human participants, but "the results of computer simulations of the Lorenz equations, nothing more" (p. 11).
 - That even if one takes the idea of the precise positivity/negativity ratio numbers seriously, there should exist not just a single ratio band in which "flourishing" should occur, but several "windows" of desirable and undesirable positivity/negativity ratios above a certain value. That is, it is likely that Fredrickson and Losada did not fully grasp the implications of applying nonlinear dynamics to their data.
Brown et al. state that one can "only marvel at the astonishing coincidence that human emotions should turn out to be governed by exactly the same set of equations that were derived in a celebrated article several decades ago as a deliberately simpliﬁed model of convection in ﬂuids, and whose solutions happen to have visually appealing properties. An alternative explanation – and, frankly, the one that appears most plausible to us – is that the entire process of "derivation" of the Lorenz equations has been contrived to demonstrate an imagined ﬁt between some rather limited empirical data and the scientiﬁcally impressive world of nonlinear dynamics."(p. 8). They "urge future researchers to exercise caution in the use of advanced mathematical tools, such as nonlinear dynamics" (p. 1).
Fredrickson responded to the critique by agreeing that Losada's mathematical modelling is "questionable" and does not show that there are precise values of the ratio, but also arguing that the evidence for the benefits of a high positivity/negativity ratio is solid. Fredrickson noted that Losada declined to respond to the criticism.[7]

Local heroes and emperors at Perge (Pamphylia): the evidence
of the monuments
The subject of this paper is the analysis of some monuments of
the second century AD in Perge (Pamphylia), decorated with imperial portraits and statues of local gods and heroes. The case of the transformation of the South Gate into a monument celebrating the imperial dynasty, the city and the benefactor's family shows how Plancia Magna acted at Perge. Plancia Magna, who financed important public works for the city, illustrates the role of benefactor of the senatorial class at that period. Imperial portraits are exhibited together with local gods and heroes also in the Nymphaeum North, in the South Bath and in the last redecoration of the theater (end of the third centuryAD).

LM10 Battery Voltage Threshold Indicator
A battery threshold indicator circuit shown in the schematic diagram below has current regulation mechanism in driving the LED. A sufficient current should be satisfied at the minimum voltage but no excessive current when the voltage is at the highest level. Balance pin (5) is used as the reference voltage for regulating the current. This pin generate 23 mV, which is internally temperature compensated.
When the voltage on the reference-feedback terminal (8) drops below 200 mV, the reference output (1) rises to supply the feedback voltage to the op amp through D2, so the LED current drops to zero. The minimum threshold voltage for these circuits is basically imited by the bias voltage for the LEDs. Typically, this is 1.7V for red, 2V for green and 2.5V for yellow. These two circuits can be made to operate satisfactorily for threshold voltages as low as 2V if a red diode is used. [National Semiconductor Application Note]
This battery voltage threshold indicator circuit overcomes the difficulties caused by voltage change across the diode biasing resistor. [Circuit's schematic diagram source: National Semiconductor Application Note]

Nats Club 1952, Vol 10, part 4, pages 265-269: Worcestershire has long been noted for its maritime plants and the earliest record appears to be Glyceria maritima (now Pucinellia maritima) Common Saltmarsh grass in1796 near the Droitwich Canal. Most were solitary records, and the plants never established themselves, but several are well-established and still maintain their hold. On the Keuper Marl the main area of interest is at Droitwich where brine has been known and worked since Roman times. A few plants have been recorded near Tewkesbury. Here, before Longdon and Welland Marshes were drained and various locks and weirs constructed, the Severn was tidal to well above Tewkesbury and the low-lying ground would have been inundated with saline water during floods.... He then lists the plants with comments. Many have now vanished since 1952: our current best saltmarsh has developed at Upton Warren. All very different from the modern roadside invaders.

ANSI Common Lisp 3 Evaluation and Compilation 3.3 Declarations
3.3.4 Declaration ScopeDeclarations can be divided into two kinds: those that apply to the bindings of variables or functions; and those that do not apply to bindings.
A declaration that appears at the head of a binding form and applies to a variable or function binding made by that form is called a bound declaration; such a declaration affects both the binding and any references within the scope of the declaration.
A free declaration in a form F1 that applies to a binding for a name N established by some form F2 of which F1 is a subform affects only references to N within F1; it does not to apply to other references to N outside of F1, nor does it affect the manner in which the binding of N by F2 is established.
The scope of a bound declaration is the same as the lexical scope of the binding to which it applies; for special variables, this means the scope that the binding would have had had it been a lexical binding.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the scope of a free declaration includes only the body subforms of the form at whose head it appears, and no other subforms. The scope of free declarations specifically does not include initialization forms for bindings established by the form containing the declarations.
Some iteration forms include step, end-test, or result subforms that are also included in the scope of declarations that appear in the iteration form. Specifically, the iteration forms and subforms involved are:

Armed Forces Day in United States
Quick FactsArmed Forces Day is a national observance in the United States on the third Saturday of May each year.
|Armed Forces Day||English|
|Día de las Fuerzas Armadas||Spanish|
Armed Forces Day 2013Saturday, May 18, 2013
Armed Forces Day 2014Saturday, May 17, 2014
List of dates for other years
Many Americans celebrate Armed Forces Day annually on the third Saturday of May. It is a day to pay tribute to men and women who serve the United States' armed forces. Armed Forces Day is also part of Armed Forces Week, which begins on the second Saturday of May.
What do people do?
Many events across the United States take place on Armed Forces Day to honor Americans in uniform who served their country in times of war and peace. Those who are honored on this day include people who serve the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. National Guard and Reserve units may celebrate Armed Forces Day/Week over any period in May because of their unique training schedules. Events and activities may include:
- Multi-service military displays in areas open for the public.
- Various educational activities that teach children about the armed forces.
- "Support the Troops" themed motorcycle rides.
- Large parades and other local celebrations.
Certain types of music are also played at Armed Forces Day events, including at memorials and at cemeteries, as a way to respect those in the armed forces who died for their country. For example, buglers have played a bugle call, known simply as Taps, on Armed Forces Day in recent years. Taps is usually sounded by the United States military at events such as flag ceremonies, memorial services and funerals.
Traffic and parking may be affected in areas where large-scale events are held for Armed Forces Day.
On August 31, 1949, Louis Johnson, who was the United States' Secretary of Defense, announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The event stemmed from the armed forces' unification under one department – the Department of Defense. The Army, Navy and Air Force leagues adopted the newly formed day. The Marine Corps League declined to drop support for Marine Corps Day but supports Armed Forces Day too.
The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated on Saturday, May 20, 1950. The theme for that day was "Teamed for Defense", which expressed the unification of all military forces under one government department. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the day was designed to expand public understanding of what type of job was performed and the role of the military in civilian life.
Armed Forces Day was a day for the military to show "state-of-the-art" equipment to Americans. It was also a day to honor and acknowledge Americans in the armed forces. Parades, open houses, receptions and air shows were held at the inaugural Armed Forces Day. Armed Forces Day is still celebrated nationwide today and is part of Armed Forces Week.
Posters and other material used to promote Armed Forces Day often show images of Americans in the armed services dressed in their uniforms. Some posters show a collage of images, including images of those in the armed forces with their families or friends, as well as the United States Flag.
Some themes that were used for Armed Forces Day in the past included:
- Appreciation of a Nation
- Dedication and Devotion
- Freedom Through Unity
- Power for Peace
- Prepared to Meet the Challenge
- Special Opportunity for Thanks
- Teamed for Defense
These are only a few examples, and not a full list, of the Armed Forces Day themes in previous years.

Yury Petrovich Artyukhin (Russian: Ю́рий Петро́вич Артю́хин; June 22, 1930 – August 4, 1998) was a Soviet Russian cosmonaut and engineer who made a single flight into space.
Artyukhin graduated from the Soviet Air Force Institute with a doctorate in engineering, specialising in military communication systems. He was selected for the space programme in 1963 and would have flown on the Voskhod 3 mission had it not been cancelled. He made his single flight on Soyuz 14 in 1974, where his area of expertise was presumably put to good use.
He left the space programme in 1982 and held various positions in space-related fields. Most notably, he was involved in the development of the Soviet space shuttle Buran and in cosmonaut training.
He died of cancer on August 4, 1998.

Using Expert Interviews, Automated Search and Natural Language Processing to Identify Content for Instructional Materials and Assessment Development
UCLA's Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Testing (CRESST), working with its partner organization, the Center for Advanced Technology in Schools (CATS), has developed an innovative approach to identifying the conceptual content for inclusion in instruction and assessment.
With funding from the Institute of Education Sciences, CATS is developing learning games focused on acquiring pre-algebra schema and skills. For this effort, CRESST designed approaches to build in valid outcome development and then strategies to compare means that lead to the most effective learning.
To develop the goals for the games and to make them congruent with Common Core State Standards, the R&D team used the design of ontology to translate the verbal standards statements into network representations that define the universe of content and cognition included in the standards. READ MORE

The Church of the Children of Atom believes that each atom has the potential to become an entire universe, and that if the atom is split an entire universe is born. Therefore, instead of seeing the Great War (the nuclear war that destroyed the world in the Fallout Universe) as destructive, the Church of the Children of Atom believes it was a holy event that created many many universes. This could suggest the Children of Atom would desire the atomic bomb to blow up and send them to their destiny, rather than have it disarmed. Members of the Church are called Children of Atom.
Notable Members
- Confessor Cromwell is the leader of The Church of the Children of Atom and is usually found preaching by the

Nuclear Bomb in the middle of Megaton. He will accept donations to the church that will raise your karma.
- Mother Maya is the wife of Confessor Cromwell.
-Mother Curie III is a former Child of Atom who splits off from the church and starts the Holy Light Monastery.
The Church of the Children of the Atom has existed since Megaton's construction. This is revealed by Manya when she mentions that the founders of the church helped build the town. The citizens of Megaton do not mind the cult residing there as their technologies and workforce were needed to build the city, in exchange for it being "built around the bomb".
It is possible that The Church of the Children of Atom is a reference to the 1970 film Beneath the Planet of the Apes which featured a cult of mutants that worshiped an atomic bomb left over from the Nuclear War that killed most of humanity.

Family Presence During Resuscitation: Extending Ethical Norms from Pediatrics to Adults
Guest Post: Christine Vincent and Zohar Lederman
Paper: Family presence during resuscitation: extending ethical norms from paediatrics to adults
Family Presence During Resuscitation is an important ethical issue for discussion within the medical community. Currently, family presence is more commonly accepted in paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) than adult CPR. However, we argue that this fact is not morally justified and that the case for family presence during adult CPR is indeed morally stronger. In our paper we provide an ethical argument for accepting both family presence during adult CPR and pediatric CPR.
Arguments commonly used by ethicists and medical professionals to justify family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) in the emergency room revolve around scarce evidence of harm to patient outcome, strong evidence demonstrating benefits to relatives, and respect for patient's wishes. However, we argue that these three main reasons all seem to be stronger in the case of adult patients than pediatric ones.
Evidence demonstrating no negative effects of FPDR on patient outcome has mainly been found for adult patients. Furthermore, research showing benefits to relatives from being present is much stronger for adult patients as well. Lastly, the wishes and rights of adults are commonly much more respected compared to those of children, both in healthcare and generally. There is no reason why this should not extend to FPDR as well, given that the majority of patients prefer to go through traumatic life events surrounded by friends and family.
In our conclusion, we mention how family presence during any patient's resuscitation is a huge step from where society was decades ago.

Our Shoes Neckerchief is designed with colorful renderings of shoes in the Museumís Costume Institute collection. Featuring an array of styled pumps and heels, our neckerchief is fit to satisfy the true shoes enthusiast. From earliest times, footwear has served as a reflection of current fashion trends and designersí visions. The more than two thousand shoes in the Metropolitan Museumís Costume Institute are cherished both as artifacts of social history and as inspirations for future styles. They allow a fascinating glimpse into the lives and times of those who made and wore them. Balancing function and fantasy, the great designers of the twentieth century created some of the most beautiful shoes ever made, often adapting styles from the past with a contemporary sensibility.

Art HistoryThe Metropolitan Museumís Costume Institute houses over 5,000 examples of shoes throughout history and across cultures. The collection includes shoes dating back to the fourteenth century, in which materials used to make them included thick woven cloth, wool felt, and various grades of leather. Shoes became more functional and affordable to the middle class as more technology and industrialization advanced around the late eighteenth century. It was not until the twentieth century that designers took creative reign on shoes, experimenting with materials, styles, and construction. Shoes by designers and manufacturers such as Roger Vivier, Salvatore Ferragamo, Vivienne Westwood, Herbert Levine, Manolo Blahnik, and Charles Jourdan can be found in The Costume Institute collection.


What is a Grammar Stream?
Swindon Academy Grammar Stream was launched in September 2016 and is the only Grammar Stream in Swindon. A Grammar Stream is an educational arrangement whereby a group of students are educated in a mainstream school, but follow a Grammar School-style curriculum that is taught by subject specialist teachers. All pupils in the Grammar Stream have been identified as having the ability to understand the level at which work is taught, meaning that the teacher has less differentiation to address in their teaching and the group will make good progress together.
A Grammar Stream has several advantages over Grammar Schools: firstly, a Grammar Stream in Swindon enables local pupils to enjoy a Grammar-style curriculum, without having to undertake a long bus journey twice daily to Grammar Schools outside of the Swindon area. Secondly, pupils who attend the Grammar Stream are from a variety of backgrounds and are mixed gender, meaning that pupils learn how to socialise and communicate effectively with others.
Swindon Academy is well-placed to provide a Grammar Stream for several reasons: Firstly, we have a highly successful partnership with Marlborough College, a prestigious school who supports the educational experiences of our pupils. Secondly, Swindon Academy was rated a 'Good' by Ofsted in May 2017 in all areas. Thirdly, Swindon Academy is the top school in Swindon for student progress. Finally, GCSE results were the highest ever with Year 11 pupils achieving 67% 5A*-C, including English and maths in 2018.

To the archaeologist who excavated her remains, she's Burial XXII. To the staff at the museum where she will be displayed, she's known as the "Seated Woman" (for now, at least, though they're open to other suggestions). And to the artist who reconstructed her life-size image and imagined her piercing stare, she's the "Shaman."
Her real name was likely last uttered some 7,000 years ago in the fertile marshes and forests of what is now southwest Sweden. But while that name is forgotten to history, a team led by archaeologist and artist Oscar Nilsson was able to breathe life into her remarkable burial with a reconstruction that will be unveiled at Sweden's Trelleborg Museum on November 17.
The woman was buried upright, seated cross-legged on a bed of antlers. A belt fashioned from more than 100 animal teeth hung from her waist and a large slate pendant from her neck. A short cape of feathers covered her shoulders.
From her bones, archaeologists were able to determine that she stood a bit under five feet tall and was between 30 and 40 years old when she died. DNA extracted from other individuals in the burial ground where she was found confirmed what we know about Mesolithic peoples in Europe—that they were dark skinned and pale eyed.
The advent of agriculture
Lars Larsson recalls excavating Burial XXII at the archaeological site of Skateholm, near Trelleborg, in the early 1980s. It was one of more than 80 ancient graves recorded at Skateholm, which ranged in dates from roughly 5,500 to 4,600 B.C. and included a variety of burial types, including people interred in pairs or with dogs, and individual dogs buried with rich grave offerings. Burial XXII was one of only a handful of seated interments, however, and archaeologists decided to excavate the burial as a single block that would to be transported to a lab for further investigation.
"That may have been the most difficult grave we excavated at Skateholm," says Larsson, a professor emeritus of archaeology at Lund University.
Skateholm and other late Mesolithic burial sites in the region along the southern Scandinavian coastline hold particular interest to archaeologists as they reveal communities of hunter-gatherers that continued to flourish for nearly a thousand years after Neolithic farmers brought agriculture into mainland Europe.
It appears that geographical isolation wasn't the reason for the late arrival of farming in Scandinavia, says Larsson, pointing to grave goods found at Skateholm that suggest trade contacts with agricultural communities on the European mainland. Rather, it was a choice.
"People tend to think of hunter-gathers as uncivilized humans," Larsson says, "but why would they transition to agriculture when they had a great situation with hunting and gathering and fishing?"
A gateway between worlds
While researchers relied on human bones and DNA to create the physical reconstruction of the woman, Larsson is reluctant to imagine her role in society apart from saying it was "distinctive."
Ingela Jacobsson, director of the Trelleborg Museum, agrees. "She had some sort of special position in society considering everything that she was buried with, but beyond that we cannot make any sort of determinations."
The artist in Oscar Nilsson, however, zeroed in on what he thought he saw. "You can interpret the evidence in many ways, but in my eyes she is definitely a shaman. She's buried sitting up on the horns. It's very striking and she very obviously was a person of great importance and dignity," he says.
Nilsson's forensic technique starts with an exact 3D replica of the original skull, scanned, printed, and then modeled by hand to reflect bone structure and tissue thickness based on the individual's origin, sex, and estimated age at death.
For the body, he recruited an acquaintance with a similar height and build to pose cross legged. Nilsson and his colleagues Eline Kumlander and Cathrine Abrahamson took plaster molds of the body model that were later cast in silicone. The clothes and adornments—including the belt fashioned from 130 animal teeth—were sourced locally and crafted by Helena Gjaerum.
But what draws the most attention is the woman's riveting, intense expression.
"I seldom make reconstructions that have so much character," says Nilsson, "but she is a character. As we came to the conclusion that she was a shaman, it was easier to create her facial expression. She's not moving her facial muscles much, but it feels like she is communicating."
"She's like a gateway between our world and the other world," he adds, "and that has to be recognized in her face."
Museum director Jacobsson says that she got goose bumps the first time she saw the reconstruction. "There was a special look in her eyes; it was really something."
Maria Jiborn, an educator at the Trelleborg Museum, says she felt a strange sense of déjà vu when she looked into the face of the Mesolithic woman. "I remember thinking, hmm, haven't we met before? Like she was familiar in some funny way. She probably looks like some distant acquaintance."
"We are all humans through time and space," she adds.

The ancient city of Pagan (or Bagan) was capital of the Pagan Kingdom, and its plains were the site of building over 10,000 Buddhist temples, stupas and monasteries from the 11th to 13th centuries, during a period when several forms of Buddhism coexisted. Over 2200 temples survive and are a top site for visitors. Professor Ly introduces their architectural innovations, exceptional masonry, and sculpture.

BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with autologous iliac bone graft and plating has been a standard surgical method for single-level cervical disc disease. The stand-alone cage was introduced to reduce graft-related morbidity. However, problems due to focal kyphosis at the operated level have been on the rise. It has been difficult to derive a conclusive answer from previous studies for the indications of each method.
OBJECTIVE: An interim analysis of a prospective randomized study was performed to compare the sagittal alignment between a stand-alone cage (ACDF cage) and autologous iliac bone graft and plating (ACDF plate).
METHODS: Twenty-nine patients were allocated to the ACDF-cage group (M:F = 17:12) and 23 to the ACDF-plate group (M:F = 14:9). Cobb angles at the operated segment (segmental angle, SA; lordosis vs kyphosis) were compared at postoperative 12 months and the other confounding factors were explored.
RESULTS: Demographic features were not different between groups. The fusion method significantly affected segmental alignment at 12 months (P =.03; odds ratio, 5.52). Preoperatively, the SA was not different between the groups (P =.18) and was similar (P =.22) immediately following the operation. However, the SA was significantly more lordotic (P <.05) in the ACDF-plate group at postoperative 12 months in comparison with the ACDF-cage group. There was no other significant risk factor for segmental kyphosis.
CONCLUSION: The stand-alone cage and autologous bone graft with plating had similar clinical outcomes, but stand-alone cage fusion may be disadvantageous from a radiological viewpoint.

A: Booting Hyper-V VMs via the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) requires booting that computer from its network card, and specifically a legacy network adapter. Recall that a Hyper-V VM can use either a legacy or a "regular" network adapter. First, a legacy network adapter must be added to the VM; then, the Startup order in the BIOS must be rearranged to start the OS first from that legacy network adapter.
What makes this process confusing is that it's possible to rearrange the Startup order to use the legacy network adapter when no such adapter has been configured for the VM.

THE ORIGIN OF THE BOTIJO
A botijo is a clay jug that is used for cooling water.
The function of the botijo is very simple: it is based on the
principles of evaporative cooling. The botijo is typically made of
a very porous material. Therefore, as the water within filters through the
pours of the clay, it evaporates once it passes through the miniscule holes
(capillaries) and comes into contact with the supposed dry
Mediterranean-type climate. In order to change into a gaseous state, the
water needs energy which can be taken from the outside environment as
well as from the liquid that remains within, while simultaneously lowering
its temperature. This phenomenon is know as the botijo effect.
Its origin can be traced back to prehistoric times, presumably the Neolithic
era. The first versions of botijos were derived from ostrich eggs
for use by the adults, quail eggs for the children and bird eggs for the
babies. In order to distinguish one from the other, each egg would be
painted differently with the blood of animals they hunted.
The history of the botijo is revisited within the ancient
Mesopotamian cultures where the first remains of the containers similar in
shape to the modern botijo were found. The bronze era in the
Mediterranean and Hellenistic Greece saw the botijo at its greatest
when they were also used as decorative art pieces. Its decadence began at
the second half of the 20th century with the appearance of domestic
refrigerators. In Spain, where it's been used traditionally, the botijo
still remains as an ornamental element.

We present here the construction and application of a compact benchtop time-resolved Kerr magnetometer to measure the magnetization precession in magnetic thin films and lithographically patterned elements. As opposed to very expensive femtosecond lasers this system is built upon a picosecond pulsed injection diode laser and electronic pulse and delay generators. The precession is triggered by the electronic pulses of controlled duration and shape, which is launched onto the sample by a microstrip line. We used polarized optical pulses synchronous to the electronic pulses to measure the magneto-optical Kerr rotation. The system is integrated in a conventional upright microscope configuration with separate illumination, imaging, and magneto-optical probe paths. The system offers high stability, relative ease of alignment, sample changing, and a long range of time delay. We demonstrate the measurements of time-resolved dynamics of a Permalloy microwire and microdot using this system, which showed dynamics at two different time scales.

About Cell Statuses
Some methods return cell statuses. Cell statuses are numeric codes that are represented by constants in the HFMConstants type library and that provide the following types of status information for a cell:
The applicable methods return all three types of statuses within one return value. The return value is a bit-field containing 32 bits, in which the least significant 8 bits store the cell's transaction status codes, the most significant 10 bits store the cell's calculation status codes, and the middle bits store the cell's metadata status codes.
To access a cell's status codes in VBScript, perform bitwise comparisons with operators such as AND. For example, the calculation status indicating that a cell contains no data is represented by the constant CELLSTATUS_NODATAINTABLE. The following If statement tests whether a cell status includes the "no data" calculation status. In this example, assume that the cell status has been assigned to the lStat variable:
