Top 3 Children's Cartoons That Were Featured in Christian Video 'Deception of a Generation'
What Animated Cartoons Mean
Animated cartoons have gone a long way since their early times when black, white, and shades of gray were the only color schemes and virtually all the characters had "pie eyes."
In a cartoon, many animals, items, or even extraterrestrial beings talk. To make things great for the mostly per-adolescent audience, most characters of the former category come in anthropomorphic forms - some of them wear at least one article of human clothing. (A good example of this is Donald Duck, who wears a blue sailor's shirt and hat.) Some animals even walk like humans and literally do human things.
Cartoons in their proper, well-known styles defy the laws of physics ("wild takes") by having their protagonists stand on mid-air until they look down to fall or having them jump a high height when scared.
Which Children's Cartoons Deceive Their Christian Audiences?
Christians (the fundamental, evangelical ones) often limit children to which cartoons are safe for them to watch and which are detrimental to their Godly values. For the latter, the ones that have the most occultic influence often includes either magic spells, witches, crystal balls, and other things that they consider "occultic." A good cartoon, they would describe, must have good Christian values and Godly influence among its audience.
In the 1986 Christian video, Deception of a Generation, Pastor Gary Greenwald examines the influence of the dark side of certain children's cartoons. Based on the book Turmoil in the Toy Box (whose author, Phil Phillips co-stars in the video), this video makes parents reconsider having their progeny watch them. Here are three featured cartoon series in which Greenwald and Phillips deem them occultic.
Most fundamentalist Christians describe Scooby-Doo as a Satanic cartoon.
Most fundamentalist Christians describe Scooby-Doo as a Satanic cartoon.
#1: The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo (1985)
How can the lovable Great Dane Scooby-Doo provide a Satanic influence on children?
Greenwald shows the viewers a few excerpts from an episode of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo ("When You Witch Upon A Star," the eighth episode). In the first one, Vincent Van Ghoul sends the titular protagonist, his nephew Scrappy-Doo, the child con-artist Flim-Flam, Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, and Daphne Ann Blake to retrieve the spell book from three witches, the Brewster Sisters.
Van Ghoul sends himself to the Zone of Eternal Evil to pursue the evil mist (the demon Marcella, who escaped the Chest of Demons) via a crystal ball. In another set of excerpts, Van Ghoul meets Marcella, who came to the Evil Zone via "spectral wind." She refreshes his memory by explaining that to haunt the earth, her sisters must make a brew at Stonehenge and chant Spell 13 from the Book of Spells.
Meanwhile, the witches stir a brew to prepare themselves to chant the spell as the remaining five protagonists watch and devise a plan to stop them.
Greenwald and Phillips noted the occultic paraphernalia and actions depicted in the cartoon, including the symbolic Chest of Demons. But Landover Baptist Church digs deeper in it as well as in the other cartoons of the Scooby-Doo franchise, especially with the characters. They claim that Shaggy is a drug addict because he is constantly hungry and always scared and suggestively believes that Scooby is talking to him.
The same holds true with Scrappy, who is also a "talking dog." (Of course, the "needle marks" on his arm are actually his hairs.) They also even view Daphne as a prostitute wearing skimpy clothing, although she wears a sleeved jumpsuit with long pants in plenty of episodes in the series.
If Van Ghoul is a blatant archetype for an occultic warlock, his friend Flim-Flam is a sugar-and-cinnamon-coated magician. He communicates with his friend via crystal ball most of the time, uses a magic potion called the "Lotsa Luck Joy Juice," and cracks a magic whip to make it snow outside Scooby-Doo's parents' house.
To followers of fundamentalist Christianity like Greenwald and Phillips, a seemingly enjoyable Hanna-Barbera cartoon like The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo is spiritually hazardous to children's minds.
#2: The Smurfs (1981)
Another (shudder) Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, The Smurfs is seemingly safe for children. But to Greenwald and Phillips, they are practically zombies with a cute exterior. (They claim that when someone dies, his face turns blue and his lips turn black, but the latter that the Smurfs have are lipless mouths.)
Greenwald and Phillips falsely depict the only female of their kind, Smurfette, as a transsexual because she was magically transformed from a male to a female. They suggest viewers that most characters are homosexual because they to them, they are wholly males.
Phillips explains the real occult in the cartoon. Papa Smurf solves problems by casting magical spells, even seemingly (to them) using the word Beelzebub many times. (Beelzebub is a demon and a Hell prince.)
At one episode, the villain Gargamel drew a five-pointed star on the ground (a pentagram), lit candles at each point, and danced in it while chanting a magical spell. Then, a book opens and gives him the powers needed to levitate off the ground and (unsuccessfully) destroy the Smurfs.
Greenwald and Phillips suggest the question: why would Hanna-Barbera put LGBT influences as well as witchcraft in a seemingly harmless cartoon?
To some Christians, Grumpy Bear's attitude reflects on how occultic he is just like the other Care Bears.
#3: All the Media of the Care Bears Franchise!
Cute and cuddly, the Care Bears are multicolored bears who turn a callous, coldhearted person into a caring, amicable being. As well as warding off evil, they teach the world's population how to be civilized and live in harmony with one another. Their secret: the powers in their abdomens, particularly their "Care Bear Stare." (The Care Bear Cousins are non-bear animal species who do the same things as their counterparts do.)
The rays of color and light emitting from the bears' stomachs make Greenwald and Phillips deem the entire Care Bears franchise as an occultic one. The same thing holds true for the children turning to the bears when they have a problem instead of asking their parents or praying to God to rectify it.
In the first movie of the franchise, an evil spirit tempts the boy Nicholas to open a spell book and chant magic spells for gaining friends. The two pastors conclude that even a cartoon with super-cute protagonists can negatively influence a child in terms of religion.
My Final Words on the List
I grew up watching the cartoons and yet my parents raised me in a Roman Catholic household, making me practice their religion. They approve of watching any Scooby-Doo cartoon and buying Care Bears merchandise, even though Greenwald and Phillips deemed them as evil.
If you are a fundamentalist Christian, you may be likely to watch the whole tape (and read the whole book in which it is based on) and start to believe what the pastors say. Then, you would ask your children to clear out the houses of the videos and toys and replace them with wholesome media franchises (like video series of cartoons with blatant Biblical allusions and their spin-off toys).
For me, I watched those cartoons in childhood, and they didn't bother me spiritually.
Those experiences all boil down to this: parents decide which cartoons are appropriate or not. So, let them glean out toons they feel are potentially and/or morally harmful to their kids and allow them to watch what's wholesome. It doesn't matter if they are Christian, Muslim, or other religion.

N B Yomi from Dallas, TX on June 20, 2016:
Despite my Christian beliefs, this crap drove me up a wall as a kid when they were spouting how Pokemon and Harry Potter were Satanic... Because to me, they were works of fiction and nothing more. But now as a 27 year old adult, crap like this makes me "LOL." Especially with how laughably wild these accusations are. I mean calling Shaggy a drug addict and Daphane a prostitute, WTF? Then accusing Smirfette of being a transexual... I mean screw the fact that she's aconstruct of Gargamel to lure the smurfs into his clutches... She's dude who became a chick.
But humor asde, this bugs me a little. Mainly because you'll note how they leave ou the facts to pray on the ignorant masses. The Devil last I checked does the same thing, and given that I've played around with the concept of "corrupt christians," in a stoy I wrote ten years ago, I tend to question if crap like this was for good or ill.

I think I remember reading a book version of this video. And I get the well meaning intentions behind it, but when you look at some of these shows and compare them to what's offered now on Cartoon Network, a revised edition definitely should be produced.

An investigation into the operational efficiency of container freight stations at the port city of Mombasa
Odhiambo, Jacqueline D
MetadataShow full item record
This research was conducted with the aims of measuring the relative operational efficiency of the CFS's at the seaport town of Mombasa using DEA methodology and also to establish the factors that determine operational efficiency at container freight stations (CFS's). The study adopted a descriptive survey methodology. The population in the study constituted all the 16 CFS's in Mombasa as at December, 2012; however, only 11 were relevant to the research since they handled only containers. A census of the population was conducted. Analysis was conducted through the use of DEA analysis. The results of the research indicated that for the year 2011,5 CFS's were on the frontier, with 6 off the frontier. The results also depicted very narrow differentials between the most efficient CFS's and the most inefficient one, with a range of only 0.l60204. The test of significance suggested that there was no significant difference between the most efficient and least efficient CFS' s in 2011. The results also indicated that 10 out of 11 CFS' s were on the frontier, a general indication that industry-wide operational efficiency had improved in the year, 2012. The differential between the most efficient and less efficient CFS was similarly narrow and insignificant. With respect to factors that influence operational efficiency at CFS's in Mombasa, the study found that personnel and the equipment were the operational efficiency factors that CFS's in Mombasa found to be most relevant in determining operational efficiency. Similarly, the study established that personnel, both in terms of absolute numbers and competence, influenced operational efficiency at CFS's to a very high extent. Similarly and by a larger margin, they thought that equipment influenced operational efficiency at CFS's to a very high extent. The study consequently concluded that the relative operational efficiency of the 11 CFS's in the research, were more or less evenly matched since the differentials were not significant. The research also concluded that a general increase in operational efficiency across the 2 years had increased. In addition, the study concluded that personnel competence and size together with equipment were the most influential factors on operational efficiency of CFS's in Mombasa. On the basis of the findings, the research recommended that since there was a deliberate effort across the industry to improve operational efficiency, industry policy makers should encourage and structure such efforts to improve operational efficiency across the industry. The study also found that personnel and equipment were the most important factors that influenced operational efficiency across the CFS's. The study therefore recommended that concerted efforts be made by players to always ensure the continuous upgrade in the quality of both equipment and personnel so as to push the efficiency frontier ever outwards.

This is a broad question so for simplicity I will use Seal of Fire and Naturalize.
Scenario 1: Common exchangecreating a baseline.
 - Player A uses Naturalize on Seal of Fire
 - Player B Sacrifices SoF in response. SoF is highest on the stack and goes off first.
 - This leaves Naturalize without a valid target.
Scenario 2: Complicated exchangeIs this legal?
 - Player B Sacrifices SoF.
 - In response Player A targets it with Naturalize.
 - SoF is on the stack and it's ability has not resolved. Player B (as above) sacrifices SoF in response to the Naturalize.
Can Seal of Fire be placed back on the stack by re-activating its ability, potentially with a new target?
share|improve this question
2 Answers 2
No, your second example is not possible using the game rules.
Player A cannot target SoF with Naturalize, because it is currently in the graveyard. If they wanted to target the SoF, they need to do so when they had priority. Player A cannot prevent the SoF from being sacrificed for its ability anyway, since the ability exists independently of the source that created it. Seal of Fire says, "Sacrifice Seal of Fire: Seal of Fire deals 2 damage to target creature or player." It is an activate ability whose [Cost] is "Sacrifice Seal of Fire." If Player B paid the cost to activate SoF, it would no longer be on the battlefield by the time the Active Player received priority.
112.3b Activated abilities have a cost and an effect. They are written as "[Cost]: [Effect.] [Activation instructions (if any).]" A player may activate such an ability whenever he or she has priority. Doing so puts it on the stack, where it remains until it's countered, it resolves, or it otherwise leaves the stack. See rule 602, "Activating Activated Abilities."
116.1. Unless a spell or ability is instructing a player to take an action, which player can take actions at any given time is determined by a system of priority. The player with priority may cast spells, activate abilities, and take special actions.
 - It is not possible to sacrifice a permanent twice. After you sacrifice a permanent, it is placed into its owner's graveyard.

I was under the impression that because the ability had not resolved, as it was interrupted by the naturalize, it was placed on the stack before the card reached the graveyard. – Stormchild Mar 3 '12 at 19:29
_USER_ You pay all costs at the time you activate an ability (i.e. put it on the stack). The actions you take as part of paying costs don't use the stack. – Alex P Mar 3 '12 at 20:14
To put Alex's comment another way, the card goes to the graveyard at the same time as the ability is first placed on the stack. There is no opportunity for you or your opponent to do anything between the ability being placed on the stack and the moving of the Seal to the graveyard. The casting of Naturalize happens well after both of those actions. – David Z Mar 4 '12 at 7:46
user1873 is right. Scenario 2 is not legal since the sacrificing is a cost. To try to it clarify further: If Seal of Fire instead did "T: Destroy ~this~ and deal 2 damage to target player" it would still deal 2 damage to the player if you destroyed it before the ability resolved.
112.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time won't affect the ability. Note that some abilities cause a source to do something (for example, "Prodigal Sorcerer deals 1 damage to target creature or player") rather than the ability doing anything directly. In these cases, any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source because the effect needs to be divided checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. In both instances, if the source is no longer in the zone it's expected to be in at that time, its last known information is used. The source can still perform the action even though it no longer exists.
A common analogy is that of a soldier throwing a grenade at you. Shooting the soldier after he has thrown the grenade won't prevent the grenade from killing you
The only way you can stop it is either counter the ability (Stifle) or prevent it from fulfill other restrictions like destroying mountains for Valakut, the molten pinnacle's land limit.

In crypto trading, consolidation refers to a period of relatively stable prices for a cryptocurrency after a period of significant price movement. During consolidation, the price of the crypto assets tends to trade within a relatively narrow range, without experiencing significant price swings in either direction.
Consolidation can be identified on a price chart by a period of sideways movement, with the price of the cryptocurrency trading within a range of support and resistance levels. Traders often look for signs of consolidation as a potential opportunity to enter a trade, as it can indicate that the market is preparing for the next move.
Consolidation typically occurs after a period of volatility in the market, such as a sharp increase or decrease in price. It can be thought of as a period of price stability, during which buyers and sellers are reevaluating their positions and waiting for the next significant price movement.
It's important to note that consolidation can be followed by either a bullish or bearish price movement, and it can be difficult to predict which direction the price will move next.


include Gecko, Calotis, Wall Lizard and Monitor Lizard. There are amphibnians like toad, frogs and tree frogs.
There are many species of sea and fresh water fish available in the district. The list of the varieties is too long to find place in this section. Although Noakhali is coastal district, but most of the supply comes from ponds and tanks, canals and low lying areas inundated by rain water, popular varieties include the carp tribe (Cyprinidoes), Ruhi (Labeo rohita), Katla (Catla catla), Mrigel (Cirrhinus mrigala) and Kalabaush (labeo calbasu), Airh (Sperata aor), Pangas (Pangasius pangasius), Tengra (Mystus vittatus) of several types, Magur (Clarias batrschus), Singi (Saccobranchus fossilis) and Koi(Mystus vittatus) are considered to be delicious, Shoul (Channa striatus), Boal (Wallago attu), Gozar (Channa marulius), Chitol (Chitala chitala), Foli (Notopterus notopterus) and Pabda (Ompok pabda) are available in abundance.
Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha), Baila (Awaous guamensis), Bhetki (Lates calcarifer), Bata (Labeo bata), loitta etc. fishes are also available in abundance.
Prawn, cray fish(icha) and Crabs are also found. Tilapia, Muralla, Punti, Khoksha, Kajuli, Kakila, Khailsha, Bain and Chela are small fish like Mola, Kachki are found all over the district in abundance.
Created mangrove forests in Nijhum Dwip are habitat of about 5000 Cheetral or Spotted Deer. This island has been declared as the unique Eco-touristic spot for its ideal natural setup with the rich bio-diversification factors and the perennial mangrove forest with wild animals like Spotted Deer, wild Boar and Rhesus Macaque and for the ideal habitat for fish resources.
Places of interest[edit]
Nijhum Dweep[edit]
Nijhum Dweep is a small island under Hatiya upazila of Noakhali. A cluster of islands (mainly, Ballar Char, Kamlar char,Char Osman and Char Muri) emerged in the early 1950s as an alluvium in the shallow estuary of the Bay of Bengal On the south of Noakhali. These new sandbanks first drew the notice of a group of fishermen, who named it Baular Char. In 1974 the Forest Department took an aforestation program for a duration of twenty years in the north side of the island. Covering an area of nine thousand acres, it has now developed into a deep forest with a variety of plant species. Among the trees Keora is much seen. Besides this Gewa, Kankra, Bain, Babul, Karamja, Pashur and many other species are seen. It was renamed 'Nijhum Dweep' by former Minister Amirul Islam Kalam in 1979 observing its isolation and mild nature.
During winter, thousands of migratory birds flock in to island. The fishermen use the airy and sunny land as an ideal place for drying their catches from the sea. Sometimes many of them also construct straw huts on the island as seasonal residences.
On 8 th April, 2001 the government declared the 40390 acres of forest of Jahajmara range including 9550 acres of forest land on Nijhum Dweep as a National Park for the protection and development of the biodiversity of the forest. But in practice, there a very lazy appearance of that declaration.
Bazra Shahi Mosque[edit]
Bazra Shahi Mosque is one of the major archaeological works in undivided Bengal.It is situated 8 miles from district headquarter Maijdee Court. Amir Sanaullah, the owner of Bazra Jaigir started the construction of 'Bazra'Shahi Mosque' in the pattern of Tajmahal in the Hizri year 1134. The construction was completed in the Hizri year 1154. The 'Bazra Shahi Mosque' is a wonderful embodiment of Moghal architecture. In the year 1922, late Ali Ahmed, the Jaminder of Bazra, plastered the whole exterior of the mosque with piece of China clay, which greatly enhanced the beauty of the mosque.
Queen Lurther's Catholic Church[edit]
This is one of the oldest Catholic Church in the country. The Church was established in 1959, named after the Queen Lurther's at Sonapur of Noakhali Sadar upazila. Quiet, bland shadowed environment made the Church glamorous. Christian cemetery containing numerous cross, a giant statue of Jesus Christ, flower garden, spectacular ponds, mission school, Charitable Health Center, Crafts Center are also seen beside the Church. Around the Church there is a large Christian colony.
Gandhi Ashram[edit]
The establishment of Gandhi Ashram trust is rooted with the 'Peace Mission' of Mahatma Gandhi immediately after the communal riots in 1946 at Noakhali. Gandhi stayed for about four months in the riot stricken areas. He started moving around the villages and motivated the people towards his peaceful coexistence and non-violence philosophy. When Gandhiji came to Jayag on 29 January 1947 all sections of the local community extended him whole-hearten support. At that time, Barrister Hemanta Kumar Ghosh of the village donated all his resources to Mahatma for the development and peace of the area and Ambika Kaliganga Charitable Trust was formed. The office of the Gandhi Peace Mission, formerly known as Gandhi Camp, was shifted to the present campus of Jayag, Sonaimuri.

Is there an easy example of a (closed) hyperbolic 3-manifold that fibers over the circle but contains some totally geodesic surface?
(Of course such manifolds exist if the 'Virtually Fibered Conjecture' were correct, since a geodesic surface lifts to the fibered cover. But is there something more eplicit?)
share|improve this question
Actually, Jorgensen's orginal example of a closed 3-manifold fibering over the circle has a geodesic immersed surface (although this wasn't proven by him). _URL_-getitem?mr=450546 – Ian Agol Sep 9 '10 at 21:03

There are many specific known examples. Here is one construction:
Start with the 3-torus $T^3$, parametrize in the standard way as $R^3/Z^3$. It fibers over the circle in many ways. Let $a$, $b$ and $c$ be three disjoint circles, coming form lines parallel to the x, y and z axes. For most fibrations, these three circles are transverse to the fibers. Form a branched cover of the torus with two-fold branching over all preimages of these 3 circles. The resulting manifold has a hyperbolic structure that can be constructed from right-angled hyperbolic dodecahedra, and is commensurable with the 4-fold branched cover of $S^3$ over the Borromean rings. You can think of it this way: you can take a unit cube as fundamental domain for the torus, and arrange that a, b and c lie on faces of the cube, each bisecting a pari of (glued together) opposite facce. This induces a subdividision of the boundary of the cube into what look like rectangles, but are really pentagons.
The map (x,y,z) -> x+y+z gives a fibration over the torus, also works for any branched cover as described. The preimage of any face of the cube is an extended face plane of a dodecahedron, and is always a totally geodesic immersed surface, but it splits into two embedded surfaces for suitable branched covers of $T^3$ (perhaps the one you first come up with.)
The tiling of hyperbolic space by right-angled dodecahedra has a cameo appearance in the video "Not Knot" we made at the Geometry Center, available together with "Outside In" on DVD from AKPeters. In the 1984 Scientific American Article The Mathematics of three-dimensional manifolds that Jeff Weeks and I wrote, a manifold in this family (constructed from right-angled hyperbolic dodecahedra and having the properties you asked for) was described as the configuration space of a mechanical linkage. I don't think these particular properties were pointed out in Scientific American.
This and other examples that are counterintuitive at first were a good part of my motivation when I raised the question whether all hyperbolic 3-manifolds virtually fiber over the circle, which at the time was a radical idea.
share|improve this answer
And the right-angled pentagons glue together to give the totally geodesic surface, yes? A question: How much harder is it to describe a cover where some totally geodesic surface is embedded? – Sam Nead Sep 9 '10 at 20:03
Yes on gluing the pentagons. It's not hard to make a cover, I was just trying to keep it shorter. To get an easy-to-describe cover, first pass to the 8-fold cover of the torus that unwraps the torus mod 2. Now the axes each come in quadruplicate, so their sum is trivial in $Z/2$ homology. Choose a surface that they bound (mod 2). It doesn't need to embedded, so just use a union of annuli pairing up parallel axes. Take two copies of this manifold, and cross-connect at the surfaces: think of them as magic portals, so that when you pass through it transports you to an alternate universe. – Bill Thurston Sep 10 '10 at 18:31
I think I see it. I could equip the double cover of the $8$--fold cover with a singular Euclidean metric with $4\pi$ cone locus about the axes. Since "parallel to the $zx$--plane" makes sense, the annuli have to unwrap to give embedded surfaces. Drawing a picture and staring at it convinces me that they are genus two surfaces. – Sam Nead Sep 11 '10 at 10:52
Right. There are choices of which annuli to use in the 8-fold cover which don't change the topology of the branched cover, but do change descriptions of surfaces. Each annulus is intersected by two axes, so there is at least one other annulus cutting through it. You can choose the rest of the annuli to stay away from that one. To form the 2-fold branched cover, the annulus has a single arc in the interior as branch cut. Open the slit, giving a pair of pants; in the branched cover, you have two pairs of pants joined to mke a double-torus. Can you also see the fibers of (x,y,z) -> (x+y+z)? – Bill Thurston Sep 11 '10 at 13:28
I had to draw another picture. The fibre $F$ of the map from $T^3$ to $S^1$ is the hex torus you get by gluing a hexagon and two triangles (these are obtained by connecting the midpoints of the edges of the cube $[0,2]^3$ in the right way). Any cone locus (parallel to an axis) meets $F$ in just one point. So the fibre of the actual map is obtained by taking the double branched cover of $F$ at twelve points. So, a surface of genus seven. I need to think about the monodromy some more. – Sam Nead Sep 12 '10 at 7:49
This example is neither particularly easy nor explicit, but it is at least a definite family of examples.
It follows from a paper of Bergeron--Haglund--Wise and work of Agol that any'standard' arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold virtually fibres. These examples contain lots of totally geodesic surfaces which, as you say, will lift to totally geodesic surfaces in the fibred cover.

"The substitution R is a restriction of S if dom(R) is a subset of
dom(S) and for all v in dom(R), R(v) = S(v). R is known as the
restriction of S to dom(R), and written rest(S, dom(R))."
Ok, the recursion on dom(R) is a bit ugly, but I'm unclear why we need
the restriction of Foo *to* Bar in the first place.
Definition: Pattern Instance
 If S is a substitution then the result of replacing any v in a basic
pattern P by S(v) is a pattern instance of P, written S(P)."""
So, pattern instances don't have to replace all their query variables?
In other words, not all pattern instances are rdf graphs, but some are
themselves patterns?
Where are pattern instances used?
BTW, I find having S(v) and S(P) mean different things *frightfully*
confusing. Also, S(P) isn't even a function according to the above
definition, since, given that S is
 ?x = ex:foo
 ?y = ex:bar
and a basic pattern
 (?x ex:baz?y)
S(P) can be (ex:foo ex:baz?y) and (?x ex:baz ex:bar) and (ex:foo
ex:baz ex:bar). Is that 'any' up there supposed to be an 'every'? (Or
read with the force of an 'every', as in 'any variable in P is replaced
by S(that variable)'?
I asked someone else how they read it and they read it the same as me.
(Note, I may have biased the reading.)
"""Definition: Pattern Solution
 A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any substitution
S such that S(GP) is a subgraph of G."""
Undefined (and unlinked), Graph Pattern, graph, and subgraph. Note that
the last two are defined:
and are the same *assuming* that S(P) goes to graphs, not basic
patterns. Which I guess it must or this all makes no sense :)
I'm very unclear how bnodes play out. It seems to me that any query
with a blank node cannot have a match. On the one hand:
"Blank Nodes and Queries
A blank node can appear in a SPARQL query patterns. It behaves as a
variable, although it can not be named in the query result form, such
But it can never appear in a substition (given the definition of
substitution and the disjointness of V from RDF-T). I presume that
bnodes in query patterns are distinct from bnodes in the queried graph,
regardless of their lexical form, thus any Graph Pattern (GP) with
bnodes will lack any pattern solutions, since every S(GP) will fail to
be a subgraph of any other graph (at least, given the RDF Semantics and
the obvious meaning of subgraph). One could get around this by saying:
"""A Pattern Solution of Graph Pattern GP on graph G is any
substitution S such that S(GP) is simply entailed by G."""
Or if one is adverse to simple entailment, one could say:
substitution S such that there is a subgraph of G which is an
RDF-semantics-instance-of S(GP)."""
One could also expand the definition of Substitution, or of variables.
We've already liberalized the subject position, why not liberalize the
predicate position as well?
(Ok, I actually don't really want predicate variables to be bnodes
because I want to generate a OWL Direct model theoretic compatible
semantics, in which predicate variables are, in fact, metalinguistic.
But it is a solution. I don't think it'd be hard to extend the RDF
model theory to handle this extension.)

Delhi is a beautiful and fantastic place that provides various historical as well as haunting sites for the viewers. Delhi consists of monuments, parks, and multiple museums in different areas. The visitors will get amused after watching the whole of Delhi because the site is the best place for any planned trip.
Overview of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
feroz shah kotla fort information
The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is one of the best places that gets visited by many tourists in the world. The site consists of the Ashokan pillar on the one side and Jami Masjid on the other side. The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is a fortress fort that has built by Delhi sultanate during the 14th century.
The sultan Feroz Shah then named the fort by Ferozabad. The fort consists of various gardens, Baoli palaces, madrassas, and mosques, which get visited by most of the visitors. The place was in use when Mughals were facing a significant issue of water in their area named Tughlaqabad.
The most remarkable feature of the Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Delhi is that it consists of Ashoka Pillar that is thirteen meters long. The pillar stands in a pyramid structure building, and it is a magnificent pillar. The fort consists of support that has brought by Shah from Ambala, and then it got engraved with lots of principals of Ashoka edicts.
History of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
feroz shah kotla fort history
The city of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Delhi got constructed during 1354, which gets considered as the capital of Delhi Sultanate during 1354. It consists of 13 meters long pillars named Ashoka pillars on its side.
These pillars have constructed by using polished sandstone, and it got installed in Sultanate's fort by using three-tier pavilions.
The Mughal's built Feroz Shah Kotla Fort when they were facing a significant problem of shortage of water. Then they shifted from Tughlakabad to the Firozabad due to a lack of water in their area, and that is why a fort built near the Yamuna Nagar, which helped them solve the problem of water.
It consists of various places like Madrasas, gardens, palaces, and mosques that are very popular and exciting for sightseeing. The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort history provides an excellent blessing for djinns because the place is famous for its benefits and problem-solving.
The Architecture of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
feroz shah kotla fort
Feroz Shah Kotla is one of the most massive and ancient forts that consist of excellent architecture work. Much architecture, including Malik Ghazi and Abdul Hakk, designed the fort in such elegant ways that Feroz Shah Kotla fort architecture gets admired these days.
Both Malik Ghazi and Abdul Hakk have helped in building the polygon shape of the fort. Feroz Shah was the main person behind the building of a fort when their area was facing a significant problem of water supply. The fort has a built-in irregular shape on the side of the Yamuna River to get the problem provision of water.
Haunted Story of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
Haunted Story of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
People believe that Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Delhi is a very haunting place, and many recommend that visitors should not visit the area after sunset. The fort has a significant impact on Djinns, spirits, and ghosts that roam around the place after the sunset.
It has got constructed in the heart of the city that is behind the ITO press lane, and it is very near to Kotla Cricket Stadium. The local people get seen every Thursday that they offer milk and various products to djinns so that they can understand their wishes to come true. You can also find that many mentally disturbed people visit Feroz Shah Kotla Fort to get solace.
It gets said that djinns are shapeless that can get married and even can have kids, but they are formless, unlike humans. Visitors need to know that they are not like angels, and they can get bad as well as moody at any period. The remarkable fact is that bad djinns mainly prey on young women when they find them alone and on the roof while they were drying their hair.
The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort haunted place consists of many screaming voices that come out from the graves, and many visitors have claimed that they have slapped by invisible hands. Many people have also chased by mysterious winds that roam around the whole Feroz Shah Kotla Fort.
Things to see at Feroz Shah Kotla Fort:
Ruins of Palace:
feroz shah kotla fort image
The Feroz Shah Kotla Fort information includes that Ruins of Palace is a great place to visit inside the fort. The beautiful palace had got built by Mughla's during the fourteen century when they were having a significant problem of water in their city. The famous Sultan Feroz Shah made the place which gets named as Ferozabad.
Pyramid Structure:
Pyramid Structure
The Ashoka Pillars have brought in the fort during 236 BC from Ambala, and then it was not easy to install the pillar in fort because of the large size of components. Thus, pyramidal structured with three-story was get made to establish the Ashoka pillar in the fort very smoothly and successfully. The black and white stones used to make the pyramidal structures, which consist of Kalash at the top.
Mosque (Jami Masjid):
Kotla Masjid
It is one of the oldest and largest mosques of the Feroz Shah Kotla Fort that gets still used by visitors. It has built by using an extreme series of underground quartzite stone that covers the limestone. The Jami Masjid consists of exciting surroundings that include large courtyards of cloisters and hall for prayers. These prayer halls have once used by the royal ladies of the 14th century, and the architecture of the Masjid supports as an excellent example of Tughluq structures.
Top Ashokan Pillar:
Ashokan Pillar
The 13-meter tall pillar has accurately placed on the north side of the Masjid that lies inside the fort. The Ashokan pillar of Meerut got rebuilt by Kolkata's society after the explosion on the component, and then both of the Ashokan Pillars has completely wrapped with cotton silk. Then the pillars have transported by a large number of people on the carriage of 42 wheels to the Feroz Shah Tughluq so that they can prevent the components from any other damage.
Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Baoli
Baoli is a stepwell that lies on the northwestern side of the pillars of the fortress. It has got constructed in subterranean departments that lie on the vast gardens of the fort. It also consists of an underground canal that includes running water wells on the side.
It is a very famous Baoli of Delhi, which consists of a tank with the well. It is the old times; visitors were able to enter the Baoli from the north and east side, but now only the west side is accessible to join. You, as a visitor, can not enter the place because of some security reasons, but researchers can quickly enter the area after permission.
Prayers at the Fort:

Purpose: In vivo studies have suggested that motor exercise can improve muscle regeneration after injury. Nevertheless, preclinical investigations still lack reliable tools to monitor motor performance over time and to deliver optimal training protocols to maximize force recovery. Here, we evaluated the utility of a murine robotic platform (i) to detect early impairment and longitudinal recovery after acute skeletal muscle injury and (ii) to administer varying intensity training protocols to enhance forelimb motor performance.
Methods: A custom-designed robotic platform was used to train mice to perform a forelimb retraction task. After an acute injury to bilateral biceps brachii muscles, animals performed a daily training protocol in the platform at high (HL) or low (LL) loading levels over the course of 3 wk. Control animals were not trained (NT). Motor performance was assessed by quantifying force, time, submovement count, and number of movement attempts to accomplish the task. Myofiber number and cross-sectional area at the injury site were quantified histologically.
Results: Two days after injury, significant differences in the time, submovement count, number of movement attempts, and exerted force were observed in all mice, as compared with baseline values. Interestingly, the recovery time of muscle force production differed significantly between intervention groups, with HL group showing a significantly accelerated recovery. Three weeks after injury, all groups showed motor performance comparable with baseline values. Accordingly, there were no differences in the number of myofibers or average cross-sectional area among groups after 3 wk.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate the utility of our custom-designed robotic device for the quantitative assessment of skeletal muscle function in preclinical murine studies. Moreover, we demonstrate that this device may be used to apply varying levels of resistance longitudinally as a means manipulate physiological muscle responses.

Net::Connection::Sniffer -- gather stats on network connections
 use Net::Connection::Sniffer;
Net::Connection::Sniffer is a perl module to gather connection statistics by listening to ethernet traffic. Traffic is filtered using standard BPF notation as described in the tcpdump documentation and implemented using the standard pcap library to sniff packets on host network interfaces.
Create a directory with appropriate permissions for the pid file and the profile statistics dump file. Typical installation:
 mkdir -p /var/run/nc.sniffer
Edit the nc.sniffer.pl.sample file to change or set the following:
 my $config = {
 # specify the directory for the pid file for this daemon.
 # The directory must exist and have writable permissions.
 # [required]
 piddir => '/var/run/nc.sniffer',
 # specify the directory for the statistics file for this
 # daemon. The directory must exist and have writable
 # permissions
 # [required]
 sniffer => '/var/run/nc.sniffer',
 # BPF filter statement. See examples below.
 # [required]
 bpf =>'src host myhost.com and tcp port 80',
 # size of the portion of packet to capture, defaults
 # to the minimum size necessary to determine the
 # source and destination IP addresses and port numbers
 # [optional] ETH_head + IPV4_head + 4
 # snaplen => 38,
 # filter condition: payload must contain this string.
 # case insensitive match of the payload data to this string.
 # [optional]
 # match =>'somestring',
 # filter condition: payload must NOT contain this string.
 # case insensitive match of the payload data to this string.
 # [optional]
 # nomatch =>'some.other.string',
 # offset of the payload from the packet start
 # typically at least 60 for tcp, 44 for udp
 # [optional]... but [required] for'match', 'nomatch'
 # payload => 44,
 # UDP listen port to trigger a dump file
 # [optional]
 port => 10004,
 # HOST address on which to listen for dump request
 # may be one of a HOSTNAME, IP address, or
 # [optional] default == INADDR_LOOPBACK
 host => 'INADDR_LOOPBACK',
 # ALLOWED connecting host(s)
 # may be HOSTNAME or IP address
 # [optional] default
 allowed => ['',],
To generate a web report to STDOUT with or without a cache file, edit the nc.sniffer.cgi.sample file to change or set the configuration parameters. See Net::Connection::Sniffer::Report::web_report or the sample file for details.
 Usage:
 or
where an argument of "0" produces a report ordered by /24 by usage and an argument of "1" produces a report ordered by subdomain by usage.
REMOTE CONFIGURATION, multiple hosts ^
To configure the reporting function to retrieve statistics from multiple remote hosts (and localhost) do the following:
 1) read the config section of
 2) read the config section of
On the remote host(s), install nc.sniffer.dump.pl in an appropriate sandbox account and install an ssh certificate to permit access to the sandbox ssh executable as well as the directory from which to rsync the stats file on that host.
nc.sniffer.dump.pl should be installed mode 755 or as appropriate to be accessed remotely by the ssh -e function.
On the web host, configure nc.sniffer.coalesce.cgi and place the execution cgi string in your web page to produce the report
nc.sniffer.coalesce.cgi should be SUID to the web user, not root, so that the web engine can safely execute the script. The ssh certificate must be generated for the web user and go in the nobody:nogroup/.ssh directory (or equivalent web user directory).
 usage:
Launch the daemon with the command:
 nc.sniffer.pl start
 Syntax: nc.sniffer.pl start
 nc.sniffer.pl stop
 nc.sniffer.pl restart
 nc.sniffer.pl status
 nc.sniffer.pl dump
 nc.sniffer.pl config
 -d switch may be added to
 redirect output to STDERR
On most systems it will be necessary to wrap a shell script around nc.sniffer.pl if the path for perl is not in scope during boot.
 # shell script 'rc.nc.sniffer'
 /path/to/nc.sniffer.pl $*
A sample shell script is included in the distribution as rc.nc.sniffer
To run multiple copies of nc.sniffer for data collection on various ports or IP's at the same time, name them:
 start start daemon if not running, write pid file
 stop stop a running daemon
 restart do stop, then start
 status report if daemon running or not
 dump refresh/write statistics file
 config print configuration to STDOUT
The statistics information will be written to the file specified in the configuration upon receipt of a SIG USR1
 SIG TERM write stats file, terminate
 SIG HUP write stats file, start over
 SIG USR1 write statistics file
UDP listener -- statistics file dump ^
If the nc.sniffer daemon is configured for a UDP listen port, sending a message dump will produce the same result as SIG USR1. The daemon will respond OK timestamp, but this is NOT syncronized with the file dump and only indicates that the statistics file should not have a timestamp earlier that the epoch value returned. When either a dump or SIG USR1 is issued, you must check the ctime of the file to determine if it has been updated.
Net::Connection::Sniffer uses libpcap. The data collection is accomplished using a selectable capture device which is NOT SUPPORTED on Windows and some older BSD platforms. The next two paragraphs are from the pcap library and describe the platform limitations.
Some BPF...devices do not support select() or poll() (for example, regular network devices on FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.4, and Endace DAG devices)...
...On most versions of most BSDs (including Mac OS X), select() and poll() do not work correctly on BPF devices. While a BPF file descriptor will be returned...on most of those versions (the exceptions being FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.4), a simple select() or poll() will not return even after a... specified timeout expires......In FreeBSD 4.6 and later, select() and poll() work correctly on BPF devices...
BPF examples
The bpf entry in the configuration hash uses the standard language documented in detail in the tcpdump man(1) page. The bpf statement must contain at a minimum, 'host somename [or IP address]'. The host specification must be for a single unique IP address and be the first such specification if there are multiple src/dest host specifications in the statment.
Capture all traffic to/from a particular host:
 bpf => 'host particular.host.com',
Capture traffic to/from your mail server:
 bpf => 'host my.mx.com and tcp port 25',
Capture request traffic arriving at your DNS server:
 bpf => 'dst host my.dns.com and udp port 53',
Capture response traffic leaving your DNS server:
 bpf =>'src host my.dns.com and udp port 53',
Content MATCH/NOMATCH examples
The match and nomatch configuration entries can be used to further discriminate which packets to sniff. When the match entry is set, only packets which meet the BPF criteria AND have matching data within the packet capture buffer are selected for analysis. Conversely, when the nomatch entry is set, packets which meet the BPF criteria and match the nomatch string are unconditionally dropped. match and nomatch may both be set.
NOTE: that matches are made on a case insensitive basis.
Capture request traffic arriving at the DNS port with a query for somedomain.com. From RFC1035, we know that a datagram might need to use the domain names F.ISI.ARPA, FOO.F.ISI.ARPA, ARPA, and the root. Ignoring the other fields of the message, these domain names might be represented as:
 20 | decimal 1 | F |

Hoya Odorata is from the family of Apocynaceae and is a common plant often found in the Philippines. It has non-twining shrubs that have fragrant white flowers on them. Hoya Odorata is tough to the touch and extremely easy to grow.
This plant has basic needs and is not at all a highly demanding plant. Hoya Odorata enjoys soil that is well-drained and has a pH ranging from slightly acidic to neutral. It can survive under both direct and indirect sunlight and enjoys being watered occasionally.
Hoya Odorata has an appearance that is similar to Hoya. CV. Iris Marie, but in comparison, it has smaller leaves and blooms a lot more easily. This plant was first discovered by Dr. E. D. Merrill in the year 1904. Amongst many gardeners, the Hoya Odorata is seen as a remarkable species whose blooms have the sweetest fragrance compared to all other Hoya species.

Hoya Odorata Plant Care
Sieh dir diesen Beitrag auf Instagram an
Hoya Odorata is not picky about several things, but when it comes to the soil, they still have a few preferences. This plant prefers a rich mix of soil, but even an indoor potting mix will get the job done.
Another mix you can use is a blend of the following things:
- Potting soil
- Worm castings
- Fir bark and perlite combination
Because Hoya Odorata is an epiphyte, they need to have perfect drainage, as this can prevent the roots from rotting. Other than the soil mix, try to make sure that the soil pH remains slightly acid (6.1 – 6.5) or neutral (6.6 – 7.3).
Water is not the biggest issue for Hoya Odorata, as they do not need to be watered continuously throughout the day. This plant is low maintenance, so just water it when the soil becomes dry to the touch.
However, when the weather becomes dry, then frequent watering may be necessary, but you will have to avoid overwatering the plant as it can cause the roots to rot.
Some Hoya Odorata owners like to mist their plant frequently so that they can increase the surrounding humidity and can clean off the leaves. This is fine as long as you do not do it repeatedly and never mist the buddings and flowers of your Hoya Odorata.
The best location to keep your Hoya Odorata is at a north window where bright indirect sunlight can reach the plant. This is considered to be the ideal spot for Hoya Odorata as it does not require a lot of sunlight. But remember, they do not grow well if it is placed far away from a window.
Hoya Odorata loves bright light, but even strong sunlight can cause harm to the plant. If you have difficulty placing this plant near a window, then you can also use fluorescent grow lights.
When it comes to temperature Hoya Odorata, tend to grow best under room temperature ranging from 70°F-80°F (21°C-26°C). They can tolerate low temperatures but are frost sensitive as well. The minimum temperature that they can survive outdoors is 50°F (10°C).
Humidity is essential for some plants, and when it comes to Hoya Odorata, it is one of the most important things you will need to take care of. Occasionally misting will help your Hoya Odorata to thrive during the summer season.
However, when the weather is cold, it is best not to mist the plant as often as you did before as it can lead to the growth of fungus.
Hoya Odorata is in full blossom during Autumn. Thus fertilizing it during its growing season (which is summer) is a good idea as it will help with the growth.
During the active growing period, make sure to use a fertilizer that is balanced in nutrients. You should fertilize your Hoya Odorata either on a weekly or monthly basis. Keeping a proper schedule for the fertilization sessions will allow the plant to not get over-fertilized and ensure proper growth.
Hoya Odorata usually does not need to be repotted often as several Hoyas love to be pot bound. Do not think that your Hoya Odorata needs to be repotted every year, as it will not be necessary. Remember, the less repotting you do, the more likely you'll have better blooms.
I repot my Hoya Odorata when:
- I notice that the Hoya Odorata is becoming dry more quickly as compared to the past. The soil must dry up before the next watering session, but once the soil starts getting dried more quickly than before, then it is time to repot.
- I notice that the roots are starting to pop out of the drainage holes.
- I notice that the plastic pots are not as flexible as before.
I had sometimes waited for three years even before I repotted my Hoya Odorata; by knowing this, you will have an idea of how often you need to be repotting your Hoya Odorata. Never jump into a size too big when you repot your plant; always make sure to pick a new pot that's just a few inches larger.
Pruning your Hoya Odorata is important as it promotes further growth, and in case the plant becomes too large, it can help control the size without harming the plant. When pruning, make sure to follow these points:
- Never cut off any portion of the plant that has a spur on it; this is because when a new flower grows, it will grow from the old spur or new one. Every year the quantity of the spur will increase and produce large flowers.
- If a spur absolutely must be cut off and there is no other way around it, then it can be done. Remember that cutting off the spur won't kill the plant. Instead, it will encourage new growth; thus, giving your plant a fuller appearance.
- Growth from the areas where you have pruned the plant will grow new branches, and those branches will have more spurs present on them.
Now that you have taken some points into consideration, you will need to know how you should prune the plant. To do that, you simply need gardening scissors or some sharp shears.
Then you need to cut a part of the plant just below the node. Make sure when cutting the plant to do it from a good angle because if it is not done right, then your plant will get damaged.
Never chop off any more than 1/3 of your plant. If you find that some leaves or flowers look unhealthy, then you can also cut those.
Hoya Odorata is easy to propagate through stems; in fact, the majority of plants are easy to grow through stem cutting. If you wish to propagate your plant properly, follow these tips:
- The best time for propagating your Hoya Odorata is during the spring and summer season, as it is actively growing during that period.
- Take a pot and fill it with a well-drained potting mix. This potting mix can contain perlite, vermiculite, or sand.
- Water the pot well and place the pot aside to let the pot drain until the soil becomes moist rather than wet.
- Proceed to cut off a stem from your adult plant. A stem with at least two or three leaves on it is the best choice.
- The stem should be at least 4 or 5 inches long (10 to 13 centimeters long).
- Remove all the leaves that are present on the lower end of the stem.
- Dip the bottom end of the stem in a rooting hormone. You do not need to use a rooting hormone if you cannot find one as it is not an absolute requirement, but it will help with the growth of your plant.
- Plant this stem cutting in the soil, and do not touch it afterward.
- Water your plant regularly and keep the soil moist.
- Do not overwater the soil to the point where it becomes soggy, or else the stem will rot.
- Place the pot under indirect sunlight and avoid direct sunlight as it can easily bake your young plant.
Hoya Odorata does not have unique leaves as they are the basic evergreen leaves found on many plants. However, the most eye-catching thing about this plant is its adorable flowers.
Hoya Odorata flowers have a wonderful scent that makes the air feel like it is crisp and clean. The fragrance is described as being slightly citrus and sweet.
Hoya Odoratas flowers are very seasonal and only tend to bloom during the autumn season. Once these flowers start to bloom, they grow in small clusters of tiny white flowers.
Hoya Odorata is considered to have moderate to slow growth. Their slow growth may be the reason why they tend to live such long lives. Hoya Odorata can grow up to at least 8 – 12 inches tall.
They grow actively during the spring and summer seasons, which is why people are encouraged to fertilize them often during these two seasons.
Common Problems for Hoya Odorata
Root-knot nematode is from the Meloidogyne genus. These are plant parasites that exist in areas where the climate is hot, and the winters are short. You won't spot them above ground as they live up to their name of being in the roots of different plants.
It is estimated that at least 2000 plants worldwide are susceptible to

Part Luck, Part Brains. All Fun
Quizbola is a party game that combines two different but highly enjoyable activities in one terrific experience. One of them is quizzing, the other is Tambola, a game of chance, also known as Housie or Lotto
What is Tambola?
Tambola, also known as Bingo, Housie or Lotto, is a game of luck or chance. Each player is given a Ticket printed with a unique set of 15 random numbers (from 1 to 90) arranged in 3 rows of 5 numbers each. One person is appointed as the host for the game. The host has a set of 90 chips, each with a number on it. Numbers are from 1 to 90. The host picks out a chip from a bag that contains 90 chips and calls it out to the player. If the number that is called out by the host is in the participant's set of 15 numbers, the player crosses it out. The host then takes out another chip and calls out the number on it. This is repeated till one of the player crosses out all the 15 numbers on his Ticket and stakes his claim to the winnings.
Winning a game of tambola is based purely on luck.
What is Quizbola?
In Quizbola, instead of random numbers, the ticket contains answers to quiz questions. These are arranged in 3 rows of 5 answers or 15 answers on a ticket. The questions to these answers are printed on "Q-Cards", one Q-Card for one question. The host picks out a Q-Card at random and reads it aloud to the participants. The host does not reveal the answer.
Let's say the question on the Q-Card is "Who invented the electric bulb?" The correct answer is "Thomas Edison".
If the participant knows the correct answer, that is, Thomas Edison and that answer is on his ticket, he crosses out the answer (see photo of Quizbola Ticket with Answers)
The first participant to cross out all the 15 answers is eligible to stake a claim to the winnings.
The Quizbola Twist!
But here's where things get interesting. There are four possibilities:
 - The participant knows the answer to the question and the answer is on his ticket. He promptly crosses out the answer. He has knowledge and luck on his side!
 - The participant knows the answer to the question, but the answer is not on his ticket. He has knowledge but no luck!
 - The participant erroneously crosses out a wrong answer, thinking that it's the right answer. He has neither knowledge nor luck on his side. If he stakes a claim to the winnings based on his answer, his claim will be denied!
 - The participant does now know the answer to the question but the answer is on his ticket. He does not cross out the answer. Again, he has neither luck nor knowledge on his side.
The first person to cross out all 15 answers stakes his claim to the winnings. If he has correctly crossed out all the right answers, he gets the spoils. However, it may well be that some of his answers were mistakenly crossed out! In this case his ticket is forfeited and he has to exit from that round of the game.
How Many Players can play?
Quizbola can be played with 6 people or more. A host is selected at the beginning of a session. The host does not play the game.
Before the beginning of the game, the group fixes a price for a Ticket. Players are free to purchase as many Tickets as they like. The total money collected from the sale of Tickets is then used to set the prize money. Depending on the group, non-cash gifts purchased from the money collected can be used instead of cash prizes.
The group can decide to have either one grand prize or several prizes. For example, a prize for the first person who crosses out 5 correct answers, or a prize for the first person who crosses out all correct answers in a single row. There are many possibilities
Preparation and Materials
 - Q-Cards. These are either sheets of paper – like cue cards used by presenters - on which is printed a numbered question (see photo Quizbola Q Card). They can be either printed or created digitally as a power point slide for instance, and flashed on a on a computer screen for all participants to see. Questions can be chosen from a set theme, such as movies, famous personalities or historical events, or from a mix of different themes. The type of questions and the degree of difficulty can be tailored according to the interests and level of general knowledge of the group. Ninety Q-Cards are needed for one game. Once a question is asked the host checks it out in the master list (see Photo Master List), to indicate that it has been "used".
 - Q-Card Box – This is box with a lid that will hold Q-cards. The host will dip into the box and take out a Q-card and read it aloud.
 - Used Card Box. This is a box to dump those Q cards that have been read. This will prevent any Q-Card to be accidentally re-used
 - Answer Tickets.These are rectangular slips of paper with 15 boxes (see photo Quizbola Answer Ticket). Each box contains the answer to one question. No two Tickets should have the same set of 15 answers.
 - Master List: This is a list of all the 90 questions and their answers. As the host asks a question, that question is checked out in the list. This list is used to verify claims staked by the participants.
 - Computer and a Projector with screen (only in case Digital Q cards are used)
How was Quizbola born….
The idea of Quizbola came to me on lazy afternoon. As a member of the executive committee of my business school alumni association, I was asked to organize an interesting game for an alumni get together.
I knew that this audience would love a cerebral challenge. After all these were sharp, highly successful managers, many of them engineers, in addition to being MBAs. But a simple quiz session would be too boring. I wanted to add a twist to it.
As I was thinking about it, I asked myself a question, Wouldn't it be great if I could come up with a quiz where to win, participants would not only need brains but also luck? Something that would add the thrill of a game of chance to a brain teaser?
Then it stuck me. What if I use the format of Bingo or Tambola, and simply replace the numbers by answers? Thus was born Quizbola! I put together a list of questions. Did some programing in excel to create the tickets. (Yes, it does take some doing to ensure that each answer sheet has a unique set of 15 answers!). and by the evening I was ready with a brand new party game!
Needless to say, it was a big hit. Folks were wondering where I got the idea from!

This project consisted of an intensive pedestrian survey and recording of 300 utility poles located across three counties: San Diego, Riverside and Orange. The purpose of this survey was to provide constraints information to assist SDG&E in its compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.
PanGIS staff provided the GIS spatial analysis used to assess utility poles recommended for cultural resource evaluations. Previous surveys, slope, and distance to known resources were assessed using a predictive model. A total of 18,000 poles were evaluated for survey using spatial analysis. PanGIS created field mapbooks and GPS background files, and managed a fleet of tablet computers to aid field archaeologists with cultural resource surveys. Newly discovered archaeological sites and previously discovered sites were recorded, and recommendations were made regarding future work at the pole locations to ensure the preservation of cultural resources and compliance with CEQA and NEPA requirements. Using ESRI GIS, site and location maps were produced for the report and site forms.

How extreme dieting can affect your skin
Healthy WomanWhilst extreme dieting might make you look good in the short-term, the long-term effects it has on your body and your skin isn't always as good. We explore the effects of extreme dieting, and what it can do to you skin, and the treatments that can help to combat these.
Most extreme diets restrict your calories and carbohydrates which in turn means that the first source of energy your body burns is glycogen. Glycogen is a carbohydrate attached to every gram of water in your liver and muscles. When you burn through your glycogen, the water attached to it also exits your body. This causes you to become dehydrated. Dehydration can have real negative effects on your body, causing fatigue, dizziness and headaches. As well as all of this, it will also affect your skin. Dehydrated skin often looks dull, tired and dry. If this is something that you're suffering with than there are treatments that can help. High Frequency Mesotherapy is a microneedling treatment that delivers a direct hit of vitamins to the lower layers of the skin, to rehydrate, nourish and revitalise!
Loose skin
Loose Skin Treatment Before and AfterOne of the most noticeable effects that extreme dieting has on your body is that it will often leave you with loose skin. The amount of loose skin you suffer from depends on your weight, the speed at which you lose weight and your genetics. Losing weight can cause damage to the deeper layers of the skin, including your elastin and collagen. This is what causes you to be left with loose skin. If your loose skin is severe, you may need surgery to remove it. However, if your loose skin isn't too drastic there are different non-invasive treatment options that may be available to you.
One of our most popular treatments for loose skin is the 3D SkinLift by Ultraformer. The 3D SkinLift uses high intensity focused ultrasound technology, which stimulates collagen production to give an immediate tightening effect. After a course of treatments, you can expect impressive tightening results.
Tired man sitting down Lack of energy
Another downside of crash dieting is that it can cause you to lose energy quickly. Food is your body's main source of energy, and by depriving your body of that, you will consequently have less energy to do things. La
ck of energy can affect your life in many ways, causing you to find even the simplest of tasks more difficult. If you are feeling like you're lacking in energy then we can recommend having an IM shot, or a vitamin drip. The quick burst of vitamins and minerals can help to boost your energy levels, making you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

How to show/hide a broken window
In the course of mitigating the incident, your responders may open doors and break windows. You can show this effect using environment variables in the same way as the instructions relate in "How to embed a victim in a node/location". That article gives the background information about environment variables, as well as the article "Adding Environment or Participant Variables".
As a follow-on to this article, if you want to show or hide smoke as a result of breaking the window, see our article "How to Change the State Programmatically."
Essential Idea
The essential elements you will need to add a broken window are:
 1. A picture of the location with the window intact
 2. A picture of the window broken
 3. An environment variable that will say whether the window is intact or broken.
Pictures typically come out of digital cameras at a high resolution, at least 180 or 300 dpi, and often more than 1000 pixels wide. For screen rendering, you can reduce the dpi to 72, and the overall size (for a picture filling the whole screen) to 640x480. You should reduce your broken window picture (item #2, above) by the same proportion as you reduce the node/location photo.
Note: You can resize the image inside of Flash, but that does not reduce the picture's dpi--it only scales the photo down. This means the photo still takes up the larger space. Larger space is not bad in itself, but it then requires more bandwith to transmit around your network, so there can be loading delays. Therefore, we recommend smaller sizes.
The essential idea is to create a Movie Clip with your broken window picture, and create an environment variable to hold the status of the clip as visible or invisible. Then you will add code to check the status of the variable when the movie first loads, as well as hook up a routine that detects when the value changes -- and you will tell the broken window clip to show or hide itself, depending on the value.
The steps are:
 1. Place your node photo at the bottommost layer of your movie.
 2. On a higher layer you will import your broken window graphic. Position the broken window exactly in the place you want it to appear, covering the intact window.
 3. Then, by choosing Modify > Convert to Symbol... (with the broken window selected), you convert it into a Movie Clip -- this allows it to be given an (instance) name to which we can refer (so we can write code to tell that instance to show or hide itself).
 4. Now give this instance an Instance Name (for example, "broken1").
 5. Create a new layer to hold the code that will tell the broken window to turn on or off.
 6. Open the Actions panel and enter the following code into the panel:
function eVarValChg (id, val) {
 if (id == "WINDOW1" && val == "true") {
 broken1._visible = true;
 } else if (id == "WINDOW1" && val == "false") {
 broken1._visible = false;
var win1Val = _parent._parent.getEnvironVar("WINDOW1");
if (win1Val == "true") {
 broken1._visible = true;
} else {
 broken1._visible = false;
There are two blocks of code to explain. In the first block, the code that begins with function eVarValChg defines a routine that CommandSim knows to call if an environment variable changes (for example, the instructor sets the value of a variable). Whenever a variable changes, the variable name (the message) is passed in as id and as well as the new value (val). The next line checks to see if the message is WINDOW1, which will be the name of our environment variable. If it is, then the routine sets the visibility of the broken window Movie Clip to visible (true) or invisible (false), depending on whether the value coming in is true or false.
The second block is an instruction to execute when the movie first loads. Instead of waiting to be told the value of WINDOW1, it queries CommandSim for the value, and based on the value, it sets the broken window MovieClip to visible or invisible.
The preceding steps have taken care of all the things we need to do in the node's Flash file. Now we have to add the environment variable WINDOW1 to our scenario definition.
The simplest way is to open the Scenario Designer tool and choose the STATES & VARIABLES tab. In this tab on the top right is an area in which you can create or modify environment variables. When you click to add an environment variable, it will ask you for the name (which is what instructors see, and may have spaces), the id (in our example, WINDOW1) which cannot have spaces, and the starting value. Type in a name, type in WINDOW1 for the id, and make the starting value false if you want the broken window to be invisible by default, or true if you want to start the scenario with the window broken already.
Once you save your scenario file, and then use the ServerFilePrep tool to package it into a form for the server, you are all done. When you load the instructor panel next, you should see your environment variable in the STATES & VARIABLES tab on the instructor panel. If you click the name, the current value will appear in the box below. You can enter the new value (true or false), then press the Do It button. The clock must be running (not paused) for the new value to take effect.
Note: if you prefer to make the change directly in the scenario XML file (without using the Scenario Designer), you can add the following to your scenario definition file, replacing the line that reads

We strongly urge you to make a backup copy of the scenario definition file before you edit it, in case you enter an incorrect character or accidentally delete something important. Flash is unforgiving with errors in XML files.
For an example of this, you can use the example file from the article "How to embed a victim in a node/location".

How Does Blender Bottle Work – Working of a Blender
How does a blender work?
Let's have a look at how a relatively simple machine, a blender, and how does blender bottle work? In this complete guide you will get top features of how to use your blender and blender bottle in a way you never have thought before. So let's keep rollin'.
What is a blender?
SpeckAce - Best Reviews Website
What is a Blender – Oster Blender
It is an appliance that is within the range of household appliances. Its function is mixing and liquifying foods that, thanks to the grinding action, they end up merging. The device is used in the kitchen, and there are currently several types of it. The birth of the blender had a significant impact on society. Because, in the past, the work of crushing and blending was slow and complicated.
In the culinary world, the use of implements such as mortar and metate changed to one that was much more sophisticated and faster. The Polish Stephen J. Poplawski invented the blender in 1922. He lived in the United States, and thanks to his obsession with creating functional devices for mixing drinks, he created one that is nowadays essential.
Types of blender:
 1. Centrifugation blender: It is the appliance that is responsible for extracting the juice from vegetables and fruits through the centrifugation process. In Latin America, it as a "juice extractor" and in Spain as an "electric juicer."
 2. Grinding: Contains a motor that rotates blades to crush different types of food. In Spain, it's known as a "glass mixer" and in Latin America as a "blender."
 3. Hand blender: It is a much more modern type of mixer. It is also known as a "mini primer" and is used to mix food directly from the container. Its widely used for making purees, soups, and sauces.
Parts of a blender
 - Electric motor – It is the power source of the appliance, ultimately being what allows the blades to rotate.
 - Housing – It is the frame with which the motor is protected. There are the switches in it.
 - Shaft – It is an element with geometry, which is almost always asymmetric and is used as the support for rotating parts, although it does not transmit any torque. It is the piece with which the blender bottle rotates.
 - Glass – It is a glass or plastic container generally, which will contain food. Inside it the food is crushed.

How does a blender work?
The operation of the blender depends more than anything on its motor since it is the part in charge of making the blades or blades move and can crush what is inside the glass.
Even though they are convenient, they are elementary devices since they only consist of a container, the leaves, a casing, and inside of it a motor. The motor that they have and which serves to make the blades move and crush everything they find.
Its operation is efficient since the device is elementary. It consists of a glass that adheres to the motor at the time of blending, blades, and a lid. Traditional blenders generally have three speeds (low, medium, and high). All a user must do is put the food to mix in the glass and close it. As soon as the motor starts, it is generally possible for the user to choose between different speeds: slow, medium, and fast so that the rate with which the blades already attached to the mechanism will rotate vary. These different speeds will be useful to prepare different kinds of food, such as if you want to crush ice.
From that moment, the mechanism will start to rotate the blades and, inside the glass, a whirlwind will form thanks to the way they turn. The blending time will depend on the food in question. If they are soft, it will not take long, but if not, they may take more time and liquids to help with the process. On the other hand, due to the way blender works, a kind of eddy will be generated in the container due to the shape and speed of blades. The liquid that is formed will move to the sides and will also return to the middle because its substantial parts will move to the bottom, where the blades are; therefore, everything will undoubtedly get crushed.
Blender works with two energies:
Mechanical energy: which is created or generated when an external energy source feeds the automatic device and makes it rotate, advance, reverse, etc. It manifests itself by pressing the switches that turn the blade and move the jug.
Electric energy: which results from the existence of a potential difference between two points, which allows establishing an electric current between the two. When it is contacted using an electrical conductor and get the work of the blender.
If everything doesn't turn liquid, more power would have to be applied to make the swirl effect more practical.
Delicacies of all kinds can be prepared in the blender, for example, smoothies, creams, soups, sauces, among others. It is also essential for making cocktails in bars and similar places.
In modern times, the principle with which the blender was created, is used in other types of smaller, more powerful, or even more manual devices and without the need to rely on electrical energy. It can be seen, for example, that although there are now models with different sizes or antlers, the shape of these will always create a swirl that will crush and mix whatever is added to it.

A Blender Bottle – How Does a Blender Bottle Work
A blender bottle, as the name suggests, is a plastic or polymer glass cup used for mixing and is an essential part of a blender. It comes with a very tightly sealed and secure lid. The lid contains a round-shaped metallic ball, usually made of steel. Blender bottles are very convenient and low priced and the most important thing is that they are really easy to use.
What can a blender bottle do?
We all associate blenders and blender bottles with juices and smoothies, of course, it is its natural function and to which we are most accustomed. However, it has other services and uses. We will show you some ideas of what can do with a blender.
Today we honor our summer superhero with different fresh and creative ways in how to use your blender bottle.
For those of you who see the blender as just a smoothie machine, you're going to get amazed.
For us who have been using the blender bottle for more than just smoothies since the 20th century, consider this a reminder of all that what a blender (if we know how to use it) can give us.
Smoothies and smoothies
Of course. A blender, regardless of whether it's a lifelong Moulinex Vitae or the professional Clatronic AE 3532, couldn't be complete without a mixed drink. There's nothing like a tremendous frothy smoothie with lots of ice cream or a fruity smoothie with a frozen banana to make you feel like a kid again. Drink your way back to childhood with the shakes!
In our other article we have explained about best blenders for smoothies.
It is time to relax. The list of cocktails that can make in a blender is endless, but margaritas are my favorite with cup aficionados.
Your blender can help you make the sauce smooth, silky and flavorful. Take advantage of those tomatoes that you already have and are very ripe to make a homemade tomato sauce!
A high-quality mixer (especially high-end, professional blenders ) are the secret in making ultra-creamy sauces for the holiday or happy hour. Hummus is a classic to succeed with pita chips, celery, or spread on sandwiches, delicious!
Gazpacho or cold soups
Gazpacho, the classic Spanish tomato soup served cold, is a traditional blender dish. We love cold soups, and they are perfect for summer dinners or hot meals during the day, and they are a super quick and easy way to use fresh produce.
What is the function of a blender bottle?
So let's explain the functions of a blender bottle to get into details of how does blender bottle work. We have explained some detailed recipes that you can make with the help of blenders:
Ice cream
You can make ice creams inside a blender bottle. Ice cream makers are expensive, and making ice cream from scratch takes a long time – but not with your trusted blender! Can you imagine a chocolate and hazelnut ice cream in the mixer? Did you know that a frozen banana is synonymous with banana ice cream?
Mousse or Pudding
Use a food processor to whip the cream, but it's so easy to do it in a blender bottle! It is creamy and delicious. It's very reasonable to make this delightful dairy-free mousse – especially in a blender bottle.
Creams of all kinds, such as mayonnaise
Another of its features is to make creams like mayonnaise. With a blender, you will save time and effort, in addition to achieve different results than when you do it by hand.
Mixes to make omelets
Don't you feel like cooking? Do you contact like you have no energy? Even if you need to make an omelet, you can make use of your blender bottle. Have the mixture ready in a few seconds and enjoy a portion of delicious food.
Baby food
Another of its uses is to create baby food. You can add the ingredient you want to create good food for your baby, healthy as well as nutritious. In addition to saving
