initiative and is planning a fifth one in 2021. To date, it has published over nine hundred academic digital articles in Spanish on historical and contemporary cases of women architects. In 2018, the blog was visited over one million times by engaged readers who suggested new cases to add (Figure 2). The archival work was further expanded by collaborating with other institutions and digital networks that have linked and published the articles, and the editors have participated in women-only Wikipedia edit-athons that have increased the number of women architect entries on the site from just 2% in 2015 to 8% in 2018. In addition to the use of social media such as Facebook, they took part in the radio program Arquitectos al aire, which also has a YouTube channel. Moreover, the online trend has led to concrete architectural exhibitions, the publication of architecture magazines and the e-book Nuestras Arquitectas: Re-mapeo y Nuevas Cartografías, by Inés Moisset and Carolina Quiroga. In 2016, Un día|Una arquitecta was awarded the Milka Bliznakov Research Prize of the International Archive of Women in Architecture from Virginia Tech. The jury highlighted the use of digital tools and the internet to expand archival content to a wider audience. As a political initiative, in 2017 Un día|Una arquitecta launched a signature petition, called 'Compromiso 30%', demanding a minimal involvement of female participants in professional events, including panel discussions, held in Argentina and Spain. Through digital activism and the community's participation, they exposed images of all-male or dominantly male panels.
The contributors to Arquitetas (in)visíveis (Invisible Women Architects) are less formal in their pursuit of gender equality and more expansive in their use of media. This collective began as a group of undergraduate architecture and urbanism students at the Universidade de Brasília who critically researched and collected data on historically omitted women architects. On International Women's Day 2014, Gabriela Cascelli Farinasso, Hana Augusta de Andrade, Julia Mazzutti Bastian Solé, Laura Pita Viera, and Luiza Rego Dias Coelho released the Facebook page Arquitectas (in)visíveis. An online community grew by sharing articles of interest on feminism and architecture and their initial research on 21 women architects. In the context of their institution, these young women architects (average age of 22) organised an exhibition with lectures that drew the attention of the UnBTV, the television channel of the University of Brasília. On International Women's Day 2015, they joined forces with the site ArchDaily and published a compilation of biographical entries about 48 women architects. With this data they created their own official website that is structured according to different categories (pioneers, in the shadows, architecture, urbanism, landscape architecture, social architecture, sustainable architecture) and has a blog section for discussions (Figure 2). Over time, they were invited to participate in conferences, architecture exhibitions, and TEDx Talk Brasilia. They soon realized the need to create a space of dialogue between various people researching gender issues in the built environment from various disciplinary angles, such as psychology, sociology, geopolitics, and the arts. Through an open call for papers, they published the first edition of their magazine, Pioneiras, in August 2016, and the second edition, Nas Sombras, in March 2018. In parallel, they expanded their reach of narratives to YouTube and Instagram. Also, their documentary, Poeira e Batom — 50 mulheres na construção de Brasília, has been shown at various film and feminist festivals. Nowadays, they run O tracso é Delas, a podcast in Portuguese about the traces of women builders.
The group behind Pioneer Women of American Architecture relied on large budgets for creating this historiographical website. In 2012, the aim of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation was to uncover a group of women born before WWII who broke sexual and racial barriers and made important contributions to North American architecture, urbanism, and interior and furniture design and to empowering young architecture students and practitioners. From a jury selection of 50 profiles of pioneer women, the directors, Mary McLeod and Victoria Rosner, selected the authors for each profile and developed a format for the project. In line with the prestige of the project, Pioneer Women of American Architecture was launched in October 2014 at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The website is straightforward and easy to use. It starts with a list of 50 cases leading to well-researched biographical entries with a complete biographical apparatus (Figure 2). The editors expressed their intention to eventually add more case studies documenting the careers of women architects in America.
These three online resources of feminist architectural history engage with new media in various degrees and provide us with free scholarly knowledge on women architects. At the same time, they also attempt to position themselves as authoritative in this expanding field. The website Pioneer Women of American Architecture has remained a canonical resource closer to the concerns of third wave feminism. Not only does it expose her-stories from women who practised in North America, omitting connections with issues of racism and sexism as a global campaign towards intersectional feminism, but it also fails to build a bridge with the new generation of female architects whom they aim to motivate to study architecture. By contrast, the Brazilian case of Arquitetas (in)visíveis is a platform targeted at young activist architects and students that invites other disciplines to discuss the patriarchal and colonial power structure in the built environment across the North/South divides. In line with Generation Z, the collective mobilises various social media to discuss racism, LGBTIQ+ rights, and fascism. Additionally, it has enhanced the architecture-related gender research in Portuguese and encouraged the networking of scholars in this minority language. Similarly, Un día|Una arquitecta has also taken advantage of a growing scene of Latin feminist-activism and the online trending topic of International Women's Day to give visibility to under-researched, non-western cases, both historical and contemporary, in the Spanish language. With the power of digitisation, the project has broken frontiers and for the first time has connected Latin American architectural researchers with Spanish-speaking emigrants in Europe and the United States. However, it has maintained the blog format since its inception and as a result, the content is not rapidly accessible nor visually appealing enough for the new generation of architects.
In the shifting ground of websites, content platforms need to actively engage the youth, who are not only mobile-native and highly integrated and dependant in social media but also socially responsible. As discrimination is still rampant in the profession, it should be also asked whether the use of biographies — a legacy of second wave feminism — is helping to achieve a more egalitarian architectural profession or if it continues to position women as vulnerable and isolated subjects in the architecture discipline.
A Community of Education and Exploration: Reframing Understandings of the Bauhaus
Elizabeth Otto, Haunted Bauhaus: Occult Spirituality, Gender Fluidity, Queer Identities, and Radical Politics, Cambridge, MA & London: MIT Press, 289 pages, 2019, ISBN: 9780262043298
Few design and architecture institutions have achieved such wide and scholarly recognition as the Bauhaus. Its centennial in 2019 unsurprisingly led to numerous exhibitions and publications that both celebrated and challenged its legacy and impact on the last century of art, architecture, and design. The MIT Press alone — which had already celebrated the school's 50th anniversary in 1969 with its translation from German of the authoritative Bauhaus: Weimar, Dessau, Berlin, Chicago (Wingler 1962) — published three new books: Bauhaus Futures (Forlano, Steenson, and Ananny 2019), Gyorgy Kepes: Undreaming the Bauhaus (Blakinger 2019), and Elizabeth Otto's Haunted Bauhaus: Occult Spirituality, Gender Fluidity, Queer Identities, and Radical Politics, reviewed here (Figure 3).
Haunted Bauhaus is an enlightening discussion of rarely told histories that Otto also shared in two volumes co-edited with Patrick Rössler: Bauhaus Bodies: Gender, Sexuality, and Body Culture in Modernism's Legendary Art School (Otto and Rössler 2019a), and Bauhaus Women: A Global Perspective (Otto and Rössler 2019b). The book discusses the embodied and politicized experiences of the Bauhäusler and Bauhäuslerin — terms describing the male and female members of the school that are used to focus on the community of individuals rather than the 'master'-student relationship — and reframes the commonly understood narrative of the Bauhaus as a paradigm of rational modernism. Otto presents instead a diversified array of 'anti-utilitarian experiments in occultism and spirituality, communal and individual expressions of gender and sexuality, and radical politics' (Otto 2019: 3). By doing so, she moves away from the small number of major figures usually discussed and makes visible those concepts and people that histories of the Bauhaus have systematically overlooked or relegated to the margins.
The title of the book refers to Avery Gordon's (2008) concept of haunting to 'illuminate how content that is repressed or unresolved can escape and manifest obliquely despite the systems that usually contain it' — in this case, the 'non-Taylorized bodies and non-normative sexualities' that 'haunt the margins of the Bauhaus' (Otto 2019: 3–4). Otto argues that

What Do the Sizes Mean on Trees and Shrubs?
Generally, the bigger the number, the bigger the price, the bigger the plant.
Plants with a number sign (#) followed by a number are roughly equivalent to gallon pot sizes (i.e. #2 = 2 gallon, #3 = 3 gallon and so on). These plants are sold in containers.
Plants with a height (i.e. 5-6') indicate an estimate of the current height of the plant.
Plants measured in inches (i.e. 2.5") indicate the caliper (trunk width) of the plant.
Plants measured by caliper (inches) are generally larger than plants measured in height (feet).
Plants with B&B in the size are sold as balled and burlap (not in a container).
For more information, please see this video that will show you examples and tips on selecting trees and shrubs.

Lately I've been trying to run a fun "energizer" activity to play with the team before we get into the nitty gritty of retro. This gives everyone the chance to get up, move around, laugh and interact with each other in a fun and non-serious way. After all, retro can get serious sometimes.
For today's retro energizer game, we played "Collaborative Face Drawing". We had an even number of participants which is important for this game, since there is pairing that takes place. This is how it works:
- Give each participant a piece of paper and a pen.
- Instruct each person to write their name on the bottom of their piece of paper.
- Ask everyone to walk randomly in the room until you tell them to stop.
- Each person should pair up with someone who ended up near by them.
- Instruct the pair to exchange their papers with each other.
- Everyone should draw the other person eyes to start.
- Once they're finished drawing the eyes, instruct the pairs to give each other their pieces of paper back (now each person should have the paper with their name again).
- Repeat steps 3 to 7 for all face parts (nose, ears, chin, hair, facial hair and accessories).
We had a grand ol' time with this activity. The result is a drawing of your entire face, collaboratively drawn by everyone on the team. Here some examples of the results:

At the beginning of 2020, the Beauval Zoo inaugurated its new climate zone with an exceptional tropical environment. Commissioned by CMF, the company that designed the glass dome of unprecedented proportions (13,855 sq. meters), the CSTB provided a digital modeling procedure and solution to conduct a study of the temperature and airflow behavior of the tropical greenhouse.
The dome features a panoramic restaurant and an outsize tropical greenhouse in order to recreate extremely realistic environments designed to ensure the wellbeing of the animals housed in this space.
CMF's unique design for the dome's glass structure holistically manages the indoor climate so as to combine the comfort of the living beings (the animals, visitors and tropical plants) with energy savings.
Before beginning construction of the future bioclimatic dome in late 2017, CMF, a company that specializes in building greenhouses, asked the CSTB to validate the assumptions for its design of the indoor climate of this half-sphere with a diameter of more than 100 meters.
The expertise of the CSTB's engineers, combined with several digital modeling tools, specifically the finished volume calculation tool OpenFOAM and the airflow simulation software MATHIS, developed by the CSTB, helped refine the estimation of the dome's energy consumption.
The modeling helped the company gain more insight into the physical mechanisms involved, in order to manage the key parameters of the proposed solution:
- The heat losses of the greenhouse during the heating period. The analysis thus made it possible to validate the power of the production unit, so as to cover the greenhouse's heating requirements.
- The temperatures reached inside of the greenhouse in summertime. The analysis showed that ambient conditions compatible with the planned use of the dome can be maintained through the combination of the natural ventilation system and the distribution of the glazing panels with different energy factors depending on where they are located on the dome. This ensures the wellbeing of the animals and plants housed in this space, as well as the comfort of the dome's visitors.
"This kind of project is truly exceptional, both in terms of its size and the way the space is used. Our ability to take into account the full complexity of the phenomena in a coherent digital model of the indoor ambient conditions (the interaction of the wind with the structure, the airflow characteristics of the openings, the radiative properties of the glazing, the evapotranspiration of the plant-covered surfaces, the evaporation of the pools and streams, etc.), provided precise quantitative data and reinforced CMF's expertise for the final selection of technical solutions."François Demouge, Research Engineer, the CSTB
The digital modeling performed by the CSTB thus confirmed the specific results projected for this project.
This approach also served to confirm for the architect and the client the technical choices made to maintain an environment adapted to the wellbeing of the animals housed in the dome and the people visiting it.

9 Reasons Why A Convent Education Might Be A Huge Roadblock For Feminism
Posted: April 26, 2017
A convent education that rewards girls for being obedient and selfless might be sabotaging the cause of feminism. Here's how.
Think objectively : Have you seen social workers in the animal kingdom? Have you seen an animal dying itself to save another animal? You seen a starving animal carrying food for another? All this happens with only one species: Homo sapiens.
Wait wait, don't start the rant of "We are not animals, we are humans". Of course we are animals, well-bound within the undeniable Laws of Nature. Life wants to survive under all circumstances; and hence, self-sustenance is instinctive and imperative.
Human society is patriarchal, where the women are not permitted their solitude and freedom. They are chained as slaves to patriarchy. Try to capture an animal and it will fight back and usually escape (strong survival instincts and abilities!). Now, try to capture a woman. A normal strong-willed independent self-respecting woman will be beyond your grasp. While animal matriarchy is natural and laid-back, human patriarchy is artificial and regimented. Women need to be first hypnotized into this slavery. Who does that? One of the systems that do that is the Convent Education.
Being in a girls-only convent education system for 12 years, I can safely say it is against the laws of Nature.
Why is it against the laws of nature?
 - It is impractical and idealistic.
 - It glorifies selflessness and self-sacrifice.
 - Girls are taught to be martyrs.
 - It has unrealistic rules and expectations.
 - It rewards those who obey rules unquestioningly.
 - It punishes those who try to be themselves.
 - It chains normal human behavior, contorts thinking and distorts feelings.
 - It does not let one grow and evolve.
 - It does not let one explore the world objectively through one's own eyes.
 - Even before you are a teenager, you are pre-biased about the world. You are not allowed to think freely. Notions are drilled into your head like "gospel truths" (as if everything is simply black-and-white).
 - You are not given the time and opportunity to explore the world and find out your own version of truth and untruth yourself.
 - You never learn see the preaching nun as a normal human being, capable of making mistakes and having wrong ideas.
 - You never learn to be critical.
Convent education peddles conformism
Conformism is put on a lofty pedestal. Women are taught to be tame, by glorifying tamed behavior in school. Convent education prepares females for a hypnotized life under a patriarchal society. Children's brains are wired into believing that submission to authority is paramount. Rebellion is crushed by value-judging. School-girls are labelled as "good", "bad", "obedient", "wild", "kind", etc.
It teaches you not to speak your mind but say what is socially acceptable and politically correct. Naivete is glamorized as being very attractive to the patriarchal male, who wants a controllable wife. Further, marriage is glamorized as the ultimate aim of a woman's life. Convent education teaches the woman to be the 'ideal' wife and the 'ideal' mother. She faces stereotypical expectations from one and all, and keeps 'trying' her best to win others' approval.
Dehumanizes its girls and women
This is a dehumanizing process for females. It tells you to put your own needs last (OMG)!
This is the most unnatural thing. Your first job is to ensure your survival (physical, financial, emotional). Nature sustains itself by competitively surviving and ensuring its own growth and prosperity. Nature is Capitalistic. Period. You cannot help anyone grow unless you are yourself established and settled. It is a universal truth that you must first look after yourself and take care of your needs (physical, financial, social, emotional, intellectual) before you can of anyone else.
Convent education exhorts selflessness, forgetting that you yourself exist. It teaches you to think of others as a priority, drilling catchwords like 'love', 'service', 'kindness', into the female brain through the incessant moral science classes. It keeps repeating the dictum "Live for others" and tells you to believe that unless you live for others, you cannot wash away yours sins. (Which "sins" BTW?!)
Convent education outlaws individuality
Convent education is a factory-line production. It does not respect individuality. You are always under watch. There is a permanent code-of-conduct. You cannot laugh loudly, cannot jump, cannot run, cannot be rude, cannot answer back, cannot rebel. You have to always be prim-and-proper and oh-so-lady-like. You have to be congenial all the time and put up plastic smiles. This affected behavior (called 'nyaka') is just nauseatingly repulsive for an intelligent person. A prude goody-two-shoes is initially amusing and later, irritating.
Such a pretentious facade comes across as phony and artificial. But convent education continues to consolidate this hypnotized grooming year after year, till a robot-ish woman graduates and faces the big bad world. And she is up for a jolt! She finds the world far more practical (idealism is only a theory), self-serving (what is wrong in that?), advantage-seeking (nature's rule, accept it), and "cruel" (actually normal).
How to play the 'victim card'
Convent education teaches you to suffer for others, becoming a victim yourself. This strategy will backfire in an intelligent/practical environment, where normal people easily see through this psychological manipulation of playing the victim card.
Embracing suffering for others sake can be easily perceived as a guilt-invoking tactic to win brownie points. No one likes sob stories. Yup, you actually get taunted for playing a martyr. It irritates normal people simply because it is abnormal and unnatural.
Such women later become suckers for appreciation and validation (personal/social/professional). They feel worthwhile only after someone praises them. They work their asses off to get in others' good books and win praise. They pretend to be Mother Teresa and demand the Nobel. Arre, teri apni koi life nahin hain kya?
How to be politically correct
Convent education teaches you to be politically correct. You cannot honestly speak your mind. You cannot show anger. You must always be patient and forgiving. You are hypnotized into praising others even if they don't deserve it. You start downplaying yourself to make others feel better.
Now it is the basic demand of the patriarchal society that women must step back and put the spotlight on the husband. So convent education hypes 'virtues' like humility and down-to-earth behavior. You keep showering praise on others, hoping for some reciprocation. Stretching it too far, you become a doormat. Later in life, such women who have been lying to praise/raise/comfort others may realize this drama and explode and create more enemies unnecessarily.
Girls trained to give in every time
Girls are made to forget that there is a word called NO in the dictionary. They act as if they are bound to be polite all the time. I mean, who is holding them at gun-point and asking them to forget about themselves? Fear. Fear of being judged and labeled by the society as 'selfish'. But of course the patriarchal society is going to do that, since they need tame women in order to maintain patriarchal law and order (read values/ culture/tradition). Why do you think convent educated women are in demand in the marriage market?
Convent education is preparing them for this, and then claiming "We cannot change the world, but we can make a difference". They are making a difference: regression. They are brainwashing impressionable toddlers for 12 years and making them sweet, nice, kind, polite, soft, obedient, etc. before releasing them as nubile products for men to take home as a trophy. Men silently enjoy it, getting a joyride of patriarchy where you end up doing all the heavy-lifting.
Breeding women lacking in self esteem
Convent-educated women might lack self-esteem. The strictures on them make it difficult to answer back and defend themselves. They buy into guilt very easily, and may also often believe that 'others are right' and 'others know more than me'.
They constantly end up seeking opinions and advice. They look up to others as guardians and superiors, thinking "others know more than me". They get easily convinced to help/support/go-out-of-way-to-serve others. No wonder they get trampled all their lives. More practical people use them for their own advantage/benefit and then ignore them royally. Taking shit from all and sundry 24/7/365, they begin to question the meaning of their own lives (only if they are intelligent to see the shit). Convent-education trains them to take shit without realizing it as shit! Since they don't have the courage to assert themselves, they take it as a way of life and re-hypnotize themselves by "learning to count their blessings" as Sister taught them in the moral science class.
More of the doormats
Convent education is a brilliant system to train the dumb assistants of patriarchy. Such women will always look up to someone else to salvage them (socially/financially/emotion

DIBELS Nonsense Word Fluency
Description of the NWF Measure
The DIBELS Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF) measure is a standardized, individually administered test of the alphabetic principle including letter-sound correspondence in which letters represent their most common sounds and of the ability to blend letters into words in which letters represent their most common sounds (Kaminski & Good, 1996). The student is presented an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper with randomly ordered VC and CVC nonsense words (e.g., sig, rav, ov) and asked to verbally produce the individual letter sounds in each word, or read the whole word. For example, if the stimulus word is "pov" the student could say /p/ /o/ /v/ or say the word /pov/ to obtain a total of three letter-sounds correct. The student is allowed 1 minute to produce as many letter-sounds as he/she can, and the final score is the number of letter-sounds produced correctly in one minute. Because the measure is fluency based, students should receive a higher score if they are phonologically recoding the word, as they will be more efficiently producing the letter sounds, and receive a lower score if they are providing letter sounds in isolation. The intent of this measure is that students are able to read unfamiliar words as whole words, not just name letter sounds as fast as they can.
The NWF measure takes about 2 minutes to administer and has over 20 alternate forms for monitoring progress.
DIBELS 6th Edition Technical Adequacy of the NWF Measure
The one-month, alternate-form reliability for NWF in January of first grade is.83 (Good, Kaminski, Shinn, Bratten, Shinn, Laimon, Smith, & Flindt, 2004). The concurrent criterion-validity of DIBELS NWF with the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery-Revised Readiness Cluster score is.36 in January and.59 in February of first grade (Good et al., 2004). The predictive validity of DIBELS NWF in January of first grade with (a) CBM ORF in May of first grade is.82, (b) CBM ORF in May of second grade is.60, (c) Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery Total Reading Cluster score is.66 (Good et al., 2004).
How does NWF link to the Big Ideas in Beginning Reading?
NWF is a measure that assesses alphabetic principle skills. Alphabetic Principle (AP) is:
- the ability to associate sounds with letters and use these sounds to form words. It is composed of two parts:
- Alphabetic Understanding: Letters represent sounds in words.
- Phonological Recoding (blending): Letter sounds can be blended together and knowledge of the systematic relationships between letters and phonemes (letter-sound correspondence) can be used to read/decode words.
- a prerequisite to word identification.

d. the velocity with which the ball returns to the origin
1 Answer | Add Yours
Let's assume that the initial height is zero. If not, nothing changes but the question b.: what is the maximum height reached over the initial height?
Denote the initial velocity as 'V_0.' It is positive and upward. The velocity of the ball as a function of time is
and the height of the ball is
where 'g approx 10m/s^2' is the gravity acceleration.
The maximum height is reached when 'V(t_1)' is zero. It is going to be negative after that moment, so the ball starts to fall.
at 't_1=V_0/(g)=3(s).' This is the answer to the question a.
b. The maximum height is 'H(t_1)=V_0*V_0/(g)-(g*(V_0)^2/(g^2))/2=(V_0^2)/(2g).'
In this case it is 900/20=45 (m).
c. The time 't_2' when the ball returns to the origin is when 'H(t_2)=0,' i.e.
The root 't_2=0' corresponds to the initial moment while 't_2=(2V_0)/(g)' =6(s) is the return time. It is no surprise that 't_2=2t_1' because the path of the ball is symmetrical.
d. 'V(t_2)=V_0-g*t_2=V_0-g*(2V_0)/(g)=-V_0' =-30(m/s).
This means 30m/s downwards, also no surprise.
Of course all above is true if we ignore the air resistance (which is not entirely correct).

This blog post describes a Frictionless Data Pilot with the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Pilot projects are part of the Frictionless Data for Reproducible Research project. Written by the BCO-DMO team members Adam Shepherd, Amber York, Danie Kinkade, and development by Conrad Schloer.

Scientific research is implicitly reliant upon the creation, management, analysis, synthesis, and interpretation of data. When properly stewarded, data hold great potential to demonstrate the reproducibility of scientific results and accelerate scientific discovery. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) is a publicly accessible earth science data repository established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the curation of biological, chemical, and biogeochemical oceanographic data from research in coastal, marine, and laboratory environments. With the groundswell surrounding the FAIR data principles, BCO-DMO recognized an opportunity to improve its curation services to better support reproducibility of results, while increasing process efficiencies for incoming data submissions. In 2019, BCO-DMO worked with the Frictionless Data team at Open Knowledge Foundation to develop a web application called Laminar for creating Frictionlessdata Data Package Pipelines that help data managers process data efficiently while recording the provenance of their activities to support reproducibility of results.
The mission of BCO-DMO is to provide investigators with data management services that span the full data lifecycle from data management planning, to data publication, and archiving.
BCO-DMO provides free access to oceanographic data through a web-based catalog with tools and features facilitating assessment of fitness for purpose. The result of this effort is a database containing over 9,000 datasets from a variety of oceanographic and limnological measurements including those from: in situ sampling, moorings, floats and gliders, sediment traps; laboratory and mesocosm experiments; satellite images; derived parameters and model output; and synthesis products from data integration efforts. The project has worked with over 2,600 data contributors representing over 1,000 funded projects.
As the catalog of data holdings continued to grow in both size and the variety of data types it curates, BCO-DMO needed to retool its data infrastructure with three goals. First, to improve the transportation of data to, from, and within BCO-DMO's ecosystem. Second, to support reproducibility of research by making all curation activities of the office completely transparent and traceable. Finally, to improve the efficiency and consistency across data management staff. Until recently, data curation activities in the office were largely dependent on the individual capabilities of each data manager. While some of the staff were fluent in Python and other scripting languages, others were dependent on in-house custom developed tools. These in-house tools were extremely useful and flexible, but they were developed for an aging computing paradigm grounded in physical hardware accessing local data resources on disk. While locally stored data is still the convention at BCO-DMO, the distributed nature of the web coupled with the challenges of big data stretched this toolset beyond its original intention.
In 2015, we were introduced to the idea of data containerization and the Frictionless Data project in a Data Packages BoF at the Research Data Alliance conference in Paris, France. After evaluating the Frictionless Data specifications and tools, BCO-DMO developed a strategy to underpin its new data infrastructure on the ideas behind this project.
While the concept of data packaging is not new, the simplicity and extendibility of the Frictionless Data implementation made it easy to adopt within an existing infrastructure. BCO-DMO identified the Data Package Pipelines (DPP) project in the Frictionless Data toolset as key to achieving its data curation goals. DPP implements the philosophy of declarative workflows which trade code in a specific programming language that tells a computer how a task should be completed, for imperative, structured statements that detail what should be done. These structured statements abstract the user writing the statements from the actual code executing them, and are useful for reproducibility over long periods of time where programming languages age, change or algorithms improve. This flexibility was appealing because it meant the intent of the data manager could be translated into many varying programming (and data) languages over time without having to refactor older workflows. In data management, that means that one of the languages a DPP workflow captures is provenance – a common need across oceanographic datasets for reproducibility. DPP Workflows translated into records of provenance explicitly communicates to data submitters and future data users what BCO-DMO had done during the curation phase. Secondly, because workflow steps need to be interpreted by computers into code that carries out the instructions, it helped data management staff converge on a declarative language they could all share. This convergence meant cohesiveness, consistency, and efficiency across the team if we could implement DPP in a way they could all use.
In 2018, BCO-DMO formed a partnership with Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) to develop a web application that would help any BCO-DMO data manager use the declarative language they had developed in a consistent way. Why develop a web application for DPP? As the data management staff evaluated DPP and Frictionless Data, they found that there was a learning curve to setting up the DPP environment and a deep understanding of the Frictionlessdata 'Data Package' specification was required. The web application abstracted this required knowledge to achieve two main goals: 1) consistently structured Data Packages (datapackage.json) with all the required metadata employed at BCO-DMO, and 2) efficiencies of time by eliminating typos and syntax errors made by data managers. Thus, the partnership with OKF focused on making the needs of scientific research data a possibility within the Frictionless Data ecosystem of specs and tools.
Data Package Pipelines is implemented in Python and comes with some built-in processors that can be used in a workflow. BCO-DMO took its own declarative language and identified gaps in the built-in processors. For these gaps, BCO-DMO and OKF developed Python implementations for the missing declarations to support the curation of oceanographic data, and the result was a new set of processors made available on Github.
Some notable BCO-DMO processors are:
boolean_add_computed_field – Computes a new field to add to the data whether a particular row satisfies a certain set of criteria.
Example: Where Cruise_ID = 'AT39-05' and Station = 6, set Latitude to 22.1645.
convert_date – Converts any number of fields containing date information into a single date field with display format and timezone options. Often data information is reported in multiple columns such as 'year', 'month', 'day', 'hours_local_time', 'minutes_local_time', 'seconds_local_time'. For spatio-temporal datasets, it's important to know the UTC date and time of the recorded data to ensure that searches for data with a time range are accurate. Here, these columns are combined to form an ISO 8601-compliant UTC datetime value.
convert_to_decimal_degrees – Convert a single field containing coordinate information from degrees-minutes-seconds or degrees-decimal_minutes to decimal_degrees. The standard representation at BCO-DMO for spatial data conforms to the decimal degrees specification.
reorder_fields – Changes the order of columns within the data. This is a convention within the oceanographic data community to put certain columns at the beginning of tabular data to help contextualize the following columns. Examples of columns that are typically moved to the beginning are: dates, locations, instrument or vessel identifiers, and depth at collection.
The remaining processors used by BCO-DMO can be found at
How does Laminar work?
In our collaboration with OKF, BCO-DMO developed use cases based on real-world data submissions. One such example is a recent Arctic Nitrogen Fixation Rates dataset.
Arctic dataset
The original dataset shown above needed the following curation steps to make the data more interoperable and reusable:
 - Convert lat/lon to decimal degrees
 - Add timestamp (UTC) in ISO format
 - 'Collection Depth' with value "surface" should be changed to 0
 - Remove parenthesis and units from column names (field descriptions and units captured in metadata).
 - Remove spaces from column names
The web application, named Laminar, built on top of DPP helps Data Managers at BCO-DMO perform these operations in a consistent way. First, Laminar prompts us to name and describe the current pipeline being developed, and assumes that the data manager wants to load some data in to start the pipeline, and prompts for a source location.
After providing a name and description of our DPP workflow, we provide a data source to load, and give it the name, 'nfix'.
In subsequent pipeline steps, we refer to 'nfix' as the resource we want to transform. For example, to convert the latitude and longitude into decimal degrees, we add a new step to the pipeline, select the 'Convert to decimal degrees' processor, a proxy for our custom processor convert_to_decimal_degrees', select the 'nfix' resource, select a field form that 'nfix' data source, and specify the Python regex pattern identifying where the values for the degrees, minutes and seconds can be found in each value of the latitude column.

Similarly, in step 7 of this pipeline, we want to generate an ISO

Red-necked pademelon range
The red-necked pademelon (Thylogale thetis) is a forest-dwelling marsupial living in the eastern coastal region of Australia.
A small species of macropod, it has a head and body length of 29–62 cm, a tail length of 27–51 cm and mean weight of 3.8 kg for females and 7.0 kg for males.[3] Mainly nocturnal, the red-necked pademelon is very shy and generally inhabits temperate forests near grassland, hiding in the forests by day and emerging into the grasslands to graze in the dusk.
The red-necked pademelon is brown-grey with a cream underbelly and a red-tinted neck and shoulders. It breeds in the autumn and spring in northern Australia, and in the summer in southern Australia. Predators include the dingo and the red fox, however habitat destruction, particularly through land clearance, is currently the largest threat to the species. The red-necked pademelon is not currently listed as an endangered species.
This species is closely related to the red-legged pademelon.

DMP: Detouring Using Multiple Paths against Jamming Attack for Ubiquitous Networking System
AbstractTo successfully realize the ubiquitous network environment including home automation or industrial control systems, it is important to be able to resist a jamming attack. This has recently been considered as an extremely threatening attack because it can collapse the entire network, despite the existence of basic security protocols such as encryption and authentication. In this paper, we present a method of jamming attack tolerant routing using multiple paths based on zones. The proposed scheme divides the network into zones, and manages the candidate forward nodes of neighbor zones. After detecting an attack, detour nodes decide zones for rerouting, and detour packets destined for victim nodes through forward nodes in the decided zones. Simulation results show that our scheme increases the PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio) and decreases the delay significantly in comparison with rerouting by a general routing protocol on sensor networks, AODV (Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector), and a conventional JAM (Jammed Area Mapping) service with one reroute.

"Automated VLBI scheduling using AI-based parameter optimization";
Journal of Geodesy, 95 (2021), 58; 1 - 17.
English abstract:
Within this work, a new geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) scheduling approach inspired by evolutionary processes based on selection, crossover and mutation is presented. It mimics the biological concept "surviving of the fittest" to iteratively explore the scheduling parameter space looking for the best solution. Besides providing high-quality results, one main benefit of the proposed approach is that it enables the generation of fully automated and individually optimized schedules. Moreover, it generates schedules based on transparent rules, well-defined scientific goals and by making decisions based on Monte Carlo simulations. The improvements in terms of precision of geodetic parameters are discussed for various observing programs organized by the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS), such as the OHG, R1, and T2 programs. In the case of schedules with a difficult telescope network, an improvement in the precision of the geodetic parameters up to 15% could be identified, as well as an increase in the number of observations of up to 10% compared to classical scheduling approaches. Due to the high quality of the produced schedules and the reduced workload for the schedulers, various IVS observing programs are already making use of the evolutionary parameter selection, such as the AUA, INT2, INT3, INT9, OHG, T2 and VGOS-B program.

In brief: Both the mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate depend on the viscosity of the gas. If a different gas is selected than that which is flowing through the device, the flow rates will be off by approximately the ratio of the viscosities. Simply multiply your reading by the ratio of the selected gas's viscosity to the desired gas's viscosity.
About Gas Select
With Gas Select and COMPOSER, you need never have to do the calculations in this FAQ answer. They are more accurate than you are likely to be using this solution, since the instrument is equipped to measure temperature and pressure and account for their effects.
Gas Select is a feature built into the firmware of our meters and controllers which lets the user choose from a list of installed gas calibrations. Using Gas Select, you would simply access the list of gases through the menus in the display (or through serial commands, if you're operating remotely), choose the gas you are using, and your instrument is fully calibrated to that gas. Using COMPOSER, you can also make mixtures of the Gas Select gases and save them.
For example, suppose air is selected on a mass flow controller, but the actual gas flowing is natural gas made up of 95% CH4 + 3% C2H6 + 1% N2 + 1% CO2, or as we call it, Nat Gas-2. Due to the age of the device, this is not a selectable gas. If the serial number is greater than 80,000, it can be upgraded to the newest 6v firmware to increase the number of selectable gases and add many new features. (See 6v blog post).
Discussion and example:
Both the mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate depend on the viscosity of the gas. If a different gas is selected than that which is flowing through the device, the flow rates will be off by approximately the ratio of the viscosities.
Let's start by defining a few variables. Suppose your selected gas has a viscosity of and the device shows a flow rate of. Similarly, the gas that is actually flowing through the device has a viscosity of. To get to the corrected flow rate of the gas flowing through the unit,, you can multiply by the ratio of viscosities as follows.
The viscosities of all the gases available on your device are listed in the manual both at 0 °C and at 25 °C, with the most common gases listed on the back cover. Usually, the viscosity at 25 °C is a good choice, but it is important to note that the viscosity is a function of temperature.
The gas table in the manual includes all gases available on both our standard and anti-corrosive series. Take care to note which are available on your specific device. If a gas is not available in the gas select menu on the screen, it might not be compatible with the wetted materials. Please contact Alicat with any compatibility questions. We are constantly adding new gases to our repertoire. In some cases, a firmware upgrade or custom firmware can be added to your device in our service department to add the gas that you need to your device.
For the sake of illustration, let's say you decide to correct the numbers by hand. The gases are approximately at room temperature and the flow indicated on the device is 1 slpm. From the gas tables available in our manual at _URL_ the viscosity of air at 25°C is _PHONE_ and the viscosity of Nat GAS-1 at 25°C is 111.55570. Using the equation above,
If the gas cannot be selected, it may be useful to determine an equivalent setpoint. This is extremely similar to the above. Let's call the set point desired and what must be given to the controller in the gas selected as.
Suppose that you are controlling the flow rate of water vapor. It's not on our standard gas list, but it is available as a custom software that can be programmed into our anti-corrosive series in our service department. After taking into consideration the compatibility, the device on hand is determined a good fit. Water vapor has a viscosity at 25°C of 98.71700. This isn't in the gas tables in the manual, but we're happy to help find viscosity data for you. If a setpoint of 25 SLPM of water vapor is desired on a device that is set for air, the input setpoint can be calculated as follows.
If you'd like to add a custom gas to your device, or upgrade your software, or if you need help determining a viscosity, please contact Alicat.

Sacs are uniformly round and up to 0.35 mm in diameter.
This species is commonly found in the bryozoan Fredericella sultana although DNA sequence data indicate that other bryozoans can also act as hosts (Anderson et al. 1999). Since these parasites are highly reduced and lack many distinguishing features, DNA sequence analysis is primarily used for species confirmation.
Other myxozoan parasites that produce sac-like stages in freshwater bryozoans may be confused with Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae. However, Buddenbrockia allmani has only been recorded from the bryozoan Lophopus crystallinus while B. plumatellae is found in the bryozoan Cristatella mucedo.
Furthermore, the sac-like stages in these two species are generally irregular or oval in shape. Those produced by T. bryosalmonae are uniformly round. DNA sequences can also distinguish species (Tops et al. 2005).

I really don't understand. PDFid is not a tool for sanitizing PDF files. Primaly, it's a mean for us to get a quick view at a particular PDF file to see if the file is malicious. So what are the advantages of Origami over PDFid?
Origami vs. PDFiD
PDFiD is primarily an analysis tool, but it may also be used to disarm PDF files by disabling JavaScript, embedded files, launch actions, etc with the "-d" option on the command line, or the disarm=True parameter. This is the same as using the pdfclean.rb script provided with Origami.
The advantage of Origami over PDFiD is that it is a full PDF parser which can decode all complex PDF structures (such as indirect objects hidden inside object streams), whereas PDFiD is only meant to quickly find well-known keywords in the structure without analyzing the content of objects.
Let's me try it out. Anyway, thank you so much for this exciting tool! :)

Comparison and Evaluation of Performance, Combustion and Particle Emissions of Diesel and Gasoline in a Military Heavy Duty 720 kW CIDI Engine Applying EGR 2020-01-2057
Investigating the impact of Gasoline fuel on diesel engine performance and emission is very important for military heavyduty combat vehicles. Gasoline has great potential as alternative fuel due to rapid depletion of petroleum reserves and stringent emission legislations, under multi fuel strategy program for military heavyduty combat vehicle. There is a known torque, horsepower and fuel economy penalty associated with the operation of a diesel engine with Gasoline fuel. On the other hand, experimental studies have suggested that Gasoline fuel has the potential for lowering exhaust emissions, especially NOx, CO, CO2, HC and particulate matter as compared to diesel fuel. Recent emission legislations also restrict the total number of nano particles emitted in addition to particulate matter, which has adverse health impact. In this research study, the effect of using Gasoline fuel was evaluated, in a heavyduty diesel engine, for performance, combustion and emissions of CO, CO2, UHC, NOx, along with smoke opacity, including particle size-numbers distribution characteristics. These were compared for Gasoline and diesel fuels by applying EGR with turbo charging at different load condition, in a 12- cylinders, 720 kW, 38.8 liters CIDI military heavyduty diesel engine. The experimental test results showed that engine performance with Gasoline fuel, was slightly lower than with diesel fuel. Gasoline fuel, with 5 % EGR rate, has produced lower exhaust emissions including 32 % lower NOx emission along with lower nano particles emission, as compared to diesel fuel with 0 % EGR rate at different load condition.

Synonyms of none in English:
2 none of this concerns me
no part, not a bit, not any
It is sometimes held that none can take only a singular verb, never a plural verb: none of them is coming tonight, rather than none of them are coming tonight. There is little justification, historical or grammatical, for this view. None is descended from Old English nān, meaning 'not one,' and has been used for around a thousand years with both a singular and a plural verb, depending on the context and the emphasis needed

The Lemon program is an LALR(1) parser generator. It takes a context free grammar and converts it into a subroutine that will parse a file using that grammar.
Lemon is similar to the much more famous programs "YACC" and "BISON". But lemon is not compatible with either yacc or bison. There are several important differences:
The complete source code to the lemon parser generator is contained in two files. The file lemon.c is the parser generator program itself. A separate file lempar.c is the template for the parser subroutine that lemon generates. Documentation on lemon is also available.
To see an example of how to use lemon, see the source code to the SQLite database engine. Lemon is maintained as part of the SQLite project.

Derro found living under the earth
Back to Alien Races and Descriptions
Burlington UFO and Paranormal Research Center
WASHINGTON -- Weekly World News has uncovered the shocking discovery
a race of underground Mole People living 20 miles beneath the Earth,
using secret tunnels to enter the United States!
This discovery was made not by archaeologists, but by NASA scientists
tunneling deep inside the Earth -- and they're trying to keep the
existence of this race covered up!
A NASA insider has leaked exclusive photos and information about these
"cave people" under the condition of anonymity. "This story has to be
told," says the source. "It's just too big to keep under wraps."
The source excitedly spilled some big secrets about the Mole People.
"They seem to be a friendly race," he says, "But they're very
primitive. We're trying to communicate with them, but it's a
complicated task since they don't speak English.
"The Mole People, as we've nicknamed them, have easy access to the
surface world," states the source. "That said, President Bush is
handling the situation with an abundance of caution.
"One wrong move could result in the creatures declaring war on the
surface. We're not even sure how many of them there are. We've only
seen one city so far, with an estimated 2,000 Mole People in
"But it's been suggested that there likely are several million of them
living in sprawling and cavernous underground cities, scattered
the Earth's surface."
The creatures have some strong similarities to humans -- but also a
significant differences.
"Like us, they walk on two legs, but they're much taller than the
average human -- standing 8 to 10 feet tall. Their fingers are
claw-like. And their hands are webbed and designed for digging, not
unlike the claws of a mole.
"Their skin is super-tough. It has to withstand the intense heat and
rugged conditions found below the Earth's surface."
There seems to have been some contact and interplay between humans and
the subterraneans at some point in history -- they speak a language
similar to an old Navajo dialect.
The source says the Mole People have ultradense musculature, making
them capable of extreme violence.
"When one member of the expedition lit a cigarette lighter, the Mole
People interpreted it as a threat and attacked him.
"They pounced on him like jungle cats, nearly snuffing him out along
with his cigarette. He was lucky to escape with his life."
The Mole People are reportedly very curious about the surface world --
our clothes, our gadgets and especially our foods. They particularly
enjoy our fresh fruit.
"I brought them some grapes, and they acted like it was a feast," the
source says. "Obviously they can't grow fruit of their own, living 20
miles beneath the Earth's surface."
NASA is reportedly eager to study the Mole People. "We want to find
everything about them -- what they eat, how they live, and, most
importantly, what is their relationship to the human race.
"We're curious if they are related to us in some way. Are they the
genetic ancestors of modern man?"
Experts say speculation has been widely varied on the Mole People.
"They could be anything from Yetis to space aliens to descendants of
the survivors of the lost city of Atlantis.
Experts say this discovery has raised a number of serious and
questions, including:
Are the towering inhabitants of the civilization hostile and warlike
friendly and cooperative?
Will they make territorial claims on the surface of Earth? And what
about crucial oil and mineral reserves below the surface? Who owns
them: the Mole People -- or us?
How is it that NASA -- whose official mission is to explore outer
-- discovered the underground culture?
Tight-lippped NASA spokesmen would neither confirm nor deny the
Pressured by reporters, a White House spokesman promised information
"as I am authorized to provide it." But he warned: "That won't be
anytime soon."
According to the source, NASA "stumbled on" the underground
civilization in August while running a classified project code-named
Operation Mole Hole -- an initiative that reporters now believe may
have involved spying on China, using new "underground technologies."
"So far NASA has found secret cavern entrances to the underground
in areas around Washington State's Mount Shasta, Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky and also scattered throughout the southwestern U.S.," said
For centuries, man has speculated about the existence of creatures
beneath the Earth's surface.
Now, for the first time, it seems those suspicions have been proven
But whether these creatures are benevolent or enemies of all mankind
remains to be seen.
Webmaster Note: Personally I believe that if they are of a previous race from a forgotten time and have lived among or under us all this time, why would the government even think of them as
enemies and fearful of an attack. Iam quite convinced that if this was their plan, they would have done it along time ago.
Below I have submitted the Agartha Map and you can compare tunnel entrances located on it with the previous article.
Here is the information I have on our Alien Description Site concerning the Dero and Tero, both subterrain races.
I found several descriptions describing the Teros and Deros. I will submit what has been presented to me and leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions.
The First:
A term describing various human groups who inhabit the cavern systems
and re-established antediluvian cities beneath the North American
continent. Many of these may be descended from early American
colonists, while others are apparently descended from older
civilizations such as ancient native Americans who went underground
hundreds and/or thousands of years ago.
The nemesis of the Tero are
the 'Dero', which apparently consist of draconian or reptilian
controlled elements.
The Second:
Explains the Teros as an underground civilization as well, but refer to them as non-humans.
The Teros are more friendly and help keep the Deros, who are more demented from having
excessive power.
They live in underground tunnels, cities and sometimes under the sea.
A problem I have with the Dero name NASA gives to the subterrean people they found is that by all of the descriptions I have found on the Dero they were more of a Dwarf-like creature...never
have I seen one described as 8-10 foot tall. Let's check out some of the other inner-world races and see if we can find a more fitting description and name for what NASA has descovered.............
Beneath our Earth's surface is the 'Inner World' with seemingly endless natural caverns and artificial tunnels spreading out and down into the earth. These passages have their own peculiar
underground ecology of water-dwellers and lichens, mosses and fungi. In its upper levels, this dark realm is inhabited by humanoids of every sort. Farther down are stranger races, most hostile
to surface-dwellers.
Drow, the evil dark elves, thrive in ''Inner Earth'. They trade with or war on other races there and on the surface, and are renowned as spellcasters.
Duergar, the gray dwarves, inhabit deep regions and seldom venture to the surface. Organized and intelligent, they easily hold their own against other subterranean races. They are masters of
stoneand metalworking, but hate their cousins, the hill and mountain dwarves.
The stunted dwarflike derro are among the worst of the Under-Oerth races. They crave magic, power and slaves. They are hated and distrusted even by other evil races, which avoid them. Every
twenty years, derro explode outward through the underworld, attacking anything they encounter and destroying or enslaving weaker races.
Jermlaine look like miniature humans that stand twelve to eighteen inches high. These troublesome gremlins love to swarm and rob larger beings, leaving the stripped victims for monsters to find.
Jermlaine like rats, and share their lairs.
Troglodytes are manlike reptiles that dwell underground. These creatures emit a nasty musk in battle that disables humans, demihumans and humanoids, allowing the trogs to kill quickly and
take the bodies back to their lair for a feast.
For more information on human abductions by these creatures click here
Kuo-toa are fish-men, the descendants of an ancient race almost completely destroyed by humanity. The few survivors found refuge beneath the earth. Now they struggle to hold their own
against smarter, faster, more powerful races.
Wererats are frequently seen in the upper levels of the Inner Earth, particularly beneath the Hellfurnaces and in the sewers of cities and towns they have infiltrated in their human forms. They
conduct trade with other races, both under-and aboveground.
Beholders may have come to Earth from another world or plane. A beholder resembles a sphere about four to six feet across, with a single huge eye, a fang-filled mouth and ten eyestalks
crowning the sphere. A beholder can levitate to any height, floating at the speed of a slowly walking human. Xenophobic and cruel, beholders cast powerful magical rays from their eyestalks; the
central eye can cancel out magic used against the beholder. Very few people ever ever see a Beholder. Fewer still will

Special characters tend to be a different species from normal villagers. Here is a list of those that are birds:


Alternative medicine
The Pan-Hellenic Organization of Educational Programs (P.O.E.P) is a pioneer in the field of alternative therapies. The educational programs offered are well-structured and provide comprehensive training in the core competencies of the alternative medicine industry.
Alternative therapeutic practices have been gaining ground in recent years in the field of Western medicine. People return to the idea of holistic treatment of various ailments, recognizing that the body is inextricably linked to the spirit, and seeks to identify the deeper causes of physical symptoms.
Graduates of P.O.E.P obtain accredited degrees from international organizations such as W.M.F. (World Massage Federation) and the International Organization for Alternative Medicine, I.A.M.A. (International Alternative Medicine Association). These degrees certify the high level of knowledge, and thus ensure employment opportunities for our graduates in the labor market.

What is a Diversity Supplement?
What is a Diversity Supplement?
The NIH provides funding to attract minority trainees and faculty to research careers. NIH Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (PA-20-166; hereafter "Diversity Supplements") provide additional funding for trainees and faculty to work on an existing NIH-funded project in a particular area of interest. Here is some additional information:
 - Diversity Supplements can support all levels of trainees, from high school through college, graduate school, and postgraduate studies to the investigator level.
 - Supplements must support work within the scope of the original project.
 - There is generally no set deadline, but applications must be submitted at least 10 weeks before the desired start date of the project activity.
 - Supplements are much less competitive than peer-reviewed grant funding mechanisms and can provide an excellent entry point for a research career.
 - Budget requests must follow the budget cycle of the existing grant.
 - Supplemental funding may not extend beyond the existing grant's project end date.
Why are Diversity Supplements important?
Why are Diversity Supplements important to UCSF and to UCSF researchers?
As one of the PRIDE values, diversity is integral to UCSF's mission. Chancellor Sam Hawgood has stated that Equity and Inclusion is one of his four priority areas. Diversity among researchers improves scientific inquiry, increases diversity among research participants, and ensures that the innovative research done at UCSF has the greatest impact on an increasingly diverse population. Principal Investigators with successful Diversity Supplements at UCSF have commented on the additional benefits of having these trainees, including a more inclusive work environment and a better understanding of how qualities such as resilience can impact scientific pursuit. In addition, "Contribution to Diversity" is required in the faculty advancement packet.

During the process of acetylene production, the chemical reaction produces some amount of heat. The amount of heat dispelled during generation is monitored to ensure that it is not excessive. Heat is further reduced during the purification process and under normal operating conditions, should not become an issue.
However, during the process of regenerating purification material, heat is usually created in the purifier. If the temperature of the purifier increases disproportionately in isolated spots or places, this is known as hot spots which may result in damage to the purifier liner if not corrected. Understanding the causes and corrective actions of purifier hot spots will increase the safety of your operations as well as the life of your purifier.
Reasons for Hot Spot Formation in Acetylene Purifiers
Hot spots can be caused by:
- Insufficient air reaching the purification material
- Channeling of air through the purification material, rather than complete absorption into all of the material
- Partial blockage of the purifier vent
- Incomplete purge of the acetylene plant due to blockage of the purifier vent
Reverse Hot Spot Formation in Acetylene Purifiers
If hot spots are being formed in your purifier, it can be reversed by following the below-mentioned steps:
- Mechanical Disconnections
- Vent the Pressure
- Nitrogen Purging
- Reactivate the Purifier
Open the purifier vent valve in the following manner:
a. Open the vent
b. Close the purifier outlet valve
c. Close the valves at the bottom of the generator flashback arrestors
d. Open the purifier vent valve
a. Once the purifier vent valve has been opened, the pressure in the purifier should drop one lb. in five seconds and continue decreasing.
b. If the pressure drops in this manner, close the purifier and the inlet valve.
c. In case the pressure does not drop, the purifier vent might be blocked. This can be resolved by venting out the pressure from the flashback arrestor safety valves. Maintain the pressure at 6 psig or less.
a. Connect two nitrogen cylinders to the reactivation hose that passes through the purifier.
b. Force the nitrogen through the purifier. The nitrogen cylinder regulator should be set at 5 psi and 50 CFH flow.
c. At the same time, run water on the purifier vessel until the temperature of the cabinet is approximately 98 deg F.
(If more nitrogen is needed, additional cylinders should be connected and used until the temperature is reduced.)
d. Before reactivation, pressurize the purifier four times with nitrogen. After each time, it will be necessary to vent the pressure to remove all traces of acetylene from the purifier.
a. The purifier is now ready for reactivation. Disconnect the nitrogen flow and connect the airline.
b. Proceed to pass air through the cabinet at 50 CFH for eight hours.
c. The purifier should now be at room temperature. If it is not, then continue reactivation until the acetylene purifier reaches room temperature.
d. When the purifier nears room temperature, close the vent valve. Allow the pressure to build up to 5 psi and then vent the pressure.
e. Check for increase in temperature. If the temperature does not increase, pressurize to 10 psi and vent the pressure. Repeat two more times.
f. If the purifier has warmed up, continue reactivation until it reaches room temperature.
g. Remove the lid and check the purifying material for moisture content. If the material is dry, bypass all acetylene around the low pressure dryer.
h. If you are cooling the cooler condenser with well water, reduce the water flow such that the acetylene going into the purifier is a little warmer than the purifying material.
i. The purifier is now ready to be used.
After reactivation, check the purifier in fifteen-minute intervals to determine if there is occurrence of heat buildup during the cylinder charging process. This problem is most likely to occur during the first four (4) hours after reactivation.
The safety and efficiency of an acetylene plant is dependent on the functioning of the various components and parts of the plant. Hence, it is important that the plant is serviced in accordance with the procedures outlined in the operator's manual. Plant owners can also opt for a preventive maintenance plan that helps reduce failure rate of parts and ensures seamless functioning of the plant at all times. Customized preventive maintenance kits are available that include spares and other parts that can help implement a preventive maintenance plan.


Temple Tots
Temple Tots is a program designed for families of pre-schoolers at Or Chadash. Temple Tots meets one Sunday a month, and runs from 11:00 A.M. -12:00 P.M., with a snack towards the end of the hour. We meet in the Sanctuary after Tefillah (prayer assembly).
Temple Tots is a fun and educational program that teaches basic Jewish concepts at the pre-school age level. In addition to learning about the Holidays, the children will have an increased awareness about:
 - What is a Rabbi?
 - Why do we come to Temple?
 - What is Tzeddakah?
 - Where can I find a Mezuzah?
Theme-related crafts, stories, and a hands-on approach to learning are all active ingredients in the Temple Tots program. We read Sammy the Spider stories and other PJ Library books. In the past, the children played I-Spy in the Synagogue. They located and counted Mezuzahs, and Stars of David. They planted trees on Tu B'Shevat. They were very excited!
We look forward to seeing you on Sundays, and showing you just how exciting Temple can be when seen through the eyes of a pre-schooler!

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Now Open to the Public (in 1922) - Museum of the American Indian
On November 14, 1922, George Gustav Heye opened to the public the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation in New York City to display his collection of Native American artifacts. Heye, a mining engineer, began collecting Native American artifacts while working in Arizona in 1896. The museum, founded in 1916, was located at Audubon Terrace and there was also a research branch in the Bronx where collections were available for research and study.
After Heye's death in 1957, the future of the museum was in doubt. Some thoughts were to transfer the collection to the American Museum of Natural History in New York or possibly for it to be purchased by businessman, H. Ross Perrot. Neither of these options came to pass.
It was not until the 1980s when discussions began with the Smithsonian that a home would be found for the Museum of the American Indian. On November 18, 1989, President George H. W. Bush signed legislation creating the National Museum of the American Indian as part of the Smithsonian. Today the museum consists of the George Gustave Heye Center in New York City (unfortunately because of Hurricane Sandy the Heye Center is temporarily closed), the Cultural Resources Center facility in Maryland, and the museum on the Mall in Washington, D.C.

Origin and Taxonomy of Einkorn Wheat
Derived from the German term "einkorn", meaning "single grain", einkorn wheat is either Triticum boeoticum (wild wheat), or Triticum monococcum (domesticated species). Domesticated and wild forms of wheat may be considered either as separate species, or as Triticum monococcum's subspecies.
Einkorn is among hulled wheat's diploid species, with its grains being tightly enclosed with tough husks, also called the hull. Apart from the larger seeds and the intact nature of the ear when ripe, cultivated forms of einkorn wheat are similar to its wild counterparts. Although einkorn wheat was found in abundance millennia ago, it is limited to only a few regions today. The crop is not often planted, and has become popular as a super food in recent times.
Origins of Einkorn Wheat
Along with Triticum dicoccum (emmer wheat), einkorn wheat is recognised among the forms of wheat that were first cultivated by humans. Grains of the wild form were traced back to tens of thousands of years ago, and the first domestication of wild einkorn was recorded approximately around 7500 BC. It is believed to originate from the fertile areas of the Tigris-Euphrates regions. The origination of the wheat is believed to be a result of crossing the Triticum speltoides (wheat grass) and Triticum monococcum (domesticated wheat) naturally.
DNA finger-printing has shown evidence to suggest the domestication of einkorn wheat was carried out close to the mountains of Kacara Dag, located in the south-eastern parts of Turkey. However, the Bronze Age saw a decrease in the cultivation of the grain.
The crop can be found in mountainous regions of Morocco, France, Turkey, and parts of the former Soviet Union. It survives and thrives on soils where most other forms of wheat do not flourish. Einkorn was among the first cereals that were cultivated, following its wide distribution around Transcaucasia, the Middle East, south-western Europe, the Balkans and the Mediterranean areas.
Taxonomy of Einkorn Wheat
Einkorn wheat differs from varieties of modern wheat. Similar to other ancient forms of the crop (spelt and emmer), einkorn is classified as "covered wheat". If un-branched, the inflorescence or head of cereal crops such as einkorn wheat is referred to as a spike. Spikelets or flowers make up these spikes and they are arranged on the stem's extension also known as rachis. The flowers arise from rachilla – the nodes found on the rachis. The flowers are enclosed by the glumes, bracts, or chaff.
The cultivated and wild forms of einkorn wheat can be differentiated by the rachis' brittleness. While wild einkorn has brittle rachis and is known for quick disarticulation of the flowers when mature, cultivated einkorn wheat has rachis, which is not as fragile, and is known to remain intact until it is thrashed.

Acid treatment of crystalline silicates is a facile method of creating pores for the preparation of crystalline silica-based microporous materials, but its success depends on the acid treatment conditions and both the composition and crystallinity of the starting silicates. Here, europium silicate Eu-AV-9 containing Na+, K+, and Eu3+ ions was treated with acetic acid for 1 d or 14 d to synthesize microporous silicate with high Eu loading by the selective leaching of K+ and Na+ from the silicate. The acid-treated Eu-AV-9 had both crystallinity and microporosity capable of adsorbing CO2, while the adsorption of Ar was very low. In addition, the values of both micropore volume and BET area of acid-treated samples increased when the time of acid treatment was increased. This result was attributed to the formation of structural defects caused by eliminating Eu in Eu-AV-9 over time of acid treatment.
