- personal use of their family members, or on the basis of an authorisation, for personal use of a maximum of one individual who is not a member of their family,
- their animal which is not of a food-producing animal species.
The quantity of medications must be such as to imply relevant therapeutic use, as follows:
- for a maximum of three weeks for acute conditions,
- for a maximum of three weeks according to the prescribed dosage for chronic diseases or conditions which require long-term use of medications, or, exceptionally, for up to 12 months on condition that an individual furnishes proof of permitted residence in the target country in the respective period, unless the regulations regarding illicit drugs specify otherwise.
In case of medications which require a medical or a veterinary prescription, a traveller must present to a customs authority a proof of a medical or veterinary prescription for such medications, when required.
Medications with narcotic agents
It is allowed for travellers entering the territories of the contracting parties of the Schengen Agreement or moving there to carry illicit drugs which are used as medications according to special regulations and which are necessary for their medical treatment. In such cases, travellers must have a medical certificate issued or endorsed by a competent authority of the country of their permanent residence proving that they are eligible to possess illicit drugs.

The minerals found in the no.5 coal (Late Permian) from the Zhaotong Coalfield, Yunnan Province, southwestern China, have been examined and found to consist mainly of kaolinite, pyrite, chamosite, quartz, and calcite, with trace amounts of illite and mixed-layer illite-smectite. The proportion of chamosite in clay minerals ranges from 32 to 56 wt%, with an average of 46 wt%. Chamosite is distributed not only in collodetrinite, but also occurs as cell fillings in fusinite, semifusinite, and telinite. The high content and mode of occurrence of chamosite in this mine indicate its formation by interaction of kaolinite with Fe-Mg-rich fluids during early diagenesis. Except for a minor amount of terfigenous quartz, most quartz is of authigenic origin and formed from kaolinite desilication. The calcite content of the no. 5 coal is 1.4-6.3% (with an average of 3%) and is distributed in collodetrinite and as cell fillings of coal-forming plants. Calcite originated from seawater invasion during peat accumulation. Pyrite occurs in several ways: as massive, framboidal, isolated enhedral/ anhedral, and euhedral forms. In addition, the presence of a large amount of pyritized red algae provides strong evidence of seawater invasion during peat accumulation. The red algae may have played an important role in the enrichment of sulfur in the coal. The characteristic assemblage of minerals in this mine resulted from a unique basinal environment in which the mineral matter was derived from a basaltic source region, volcanic activity, and seawater transgression during coal formation.

Q: Should blood tubing be primed with or without normal saline before administration of blood products?
A: Christine Kessler, RN, MN, CNS, ANP, BC-ADM, replies:
Many hospital transfusion protocols and related nursing practices have been based more on tradition and assumptions than on scientific evidence. The saline priming of blood transfusion tubing is one such nursing practice that has long been guided by tradition. The risks and cost related to transfusion therapy have spurred a great deal of scientific inquiry in the past 15 years.
Approximately 15 million blood and blood component transfusions occur annually within the United States, making it a common lifesaving and life-sustaining intervention, especially within intensive care, surgical, and trauma units. Various estimates indicate that between 15% and 45% of patients require transfusions during their intensive care unit (ICU) stay, depending on their length of stay.1,2...

Animal Mummies as Food for the Dead
Click on the images to enlarge.
Often, animals were mummified (essentially dehydrated) and placed in tombs to serve as food for the deceased. Fish, fowl, and beef were common "food mummies;" the beef was generally cut into steaks and roasts prior to being mummified. Sometimes these types of mummies were wrapped, but often they were not; it was common to store small fish mummies together in vessels.
"Food" mummies were not afforded the special ceremony or special adornments given to votive animal mummies. Compare the photographs of the small perch "food" mummy with the larger perch "votive" mummy. The votive perch was prepared with much more ceremony as it was likely intended as an offering to an ancient god; it was wrapped and included a decorative shroud/netting.

Kidaptive, creator of an award-winning iPad app for preschool learners, tapped frog's venture design services to create a companion experience for parents to engage in their child's learning process. The result was Learner Mosaic, a mobile app for parents that offers insights about their preschooler's development and personalized recommendations to support the child's progress.
Kidaptive's first product, the Leo's Pad Enrichment Program, is an iPad app that immerses preschoolers in a series of learning games and puzzles. As a child plays Leo's Pad, Kidaptive's Adaptive Learning Platform collects data and surfaces insights about the child's progress. The insights come together to form a unique mosaic of the young learner, showing how the child is developing across dozens of skill areas, and highlighting where they shine or may need guidance.
Because a parent is a child's first and most important teacher, Kidaptive asked frog to design an app that would harness data from its Adaptive Learning Platform and curate key insights for parents. The objective was to make it easy for parents to participate more actively in their child's learning and development, even when confronted with busy schedules.
frog began by interviewing parents and testing feature concepts to inform and inspire the design process. We learned that while parents want to know what their child is learning when they play educational games, they have limited time for parenting apps. Accordingly, while parents value information on their child's progress and input from trusted advisors, they need simple, clear, and specific guidance in order to best support their child's learning and development.
These observations about parents are reflected in frog's design of Learner Mosaic. The app offers parents quick, meaningful tips and personalized activity suggestions, helping them thoughtfully and substantively shape their child's learning experience.
To enable parents to engage effectively, we created four categories of actions that they can take with their child, ranging from simply celebrating an educational accomplishment to offering more focused support. The app recommends specific actions parents can take based on how a child is progressing within a particular skill area. For example, if the child is learning about shape recognition on Leo's Pad, Learner Mosaic might suggest that the parent spend time tracing or making puzzles with their child to augment their learning experience with hands-on activities.
Designed to evolve with each child's play, Learner Mosaic also grows more powerful with every new release on Kidaptive's Adaptive Learning Platform. By turning daily interactions into meaningful learning moments, then weaving these together into a holistic view of a child's progress, frog and Kidaptive are engaging parents to help young learners thrive.

Soil & Terroir
With so much geographic variety, the Chilean landscape also offers a vast mosaic of terroirs and soil types.
Soils are healthy, well-drained, and have a variety of origins (alluvial, colluvial, fluvial, etc.) and textures (loam, clay, sand, silt).
Despite the relatively dry atmospheric conditions, abundant water for irrigation flows from the eternal ice caps of the Andes Mountains that tower all along Chile's eastern border.


Herefordshire Look up Herefordshire at
Old English Herefordscir, from Hereford (958), literally "ford suitable for the passage of an army" (see harry (v.) + ford (n.). Probably so-called in reference to the Roman road passing over the Wye River. Herford in Germany has the same etymology. As the name for a type of cattle, first bred there, it is attested from 1789.

Say $X \to Y$ is a surjective map of algebraic varieties, and $Z \subset Y$ is nonreduced. Then is the preimage $Z \times_Y X$ also nonreduced?

In Allen's notation, take:
$R = k[t]$, $X = \operatorname{Spec} R$
$S = k[x,y]/(y^2 - x^2(x-1) )$, $Y= \operatorname{Spec} S$.
with the map defined by:
$y = t(t^2+1)$
$I=(x)$, $Z = \operatorname {Spec} S/I$.
$S/I$ contains a nilpotent, $y$ so $Z$ is non-reduced. $X \to Y$ is a surjective map of varieties. $X \times_Y Z = \operatorname {Spec} R/RI = \operatorname{Spec} k[t]/(t^2+1)$, which is reduced.

This is local, of course. So $R \leftarrow S : \phi$ is an injection of domains, and $I \leq S$ is a nonradical ideal; is $R \phi(I)$ a nonradical ideal of $R$?
Say $s$ descends to a nonzero nilpotent of $S/I$. Then $\phi(s)$ will likewise be nilpotent in $R / R\phi(I)$, and the injectivity says it will be nonzero.

What about $C[x] \leftarrow C[x^2, x^3]: \phi$, the ideal $I = (x^2)C[x^2, x^3]$, and $s = x^3$? – Vivek Shende Jul 22 '13 at 1:07
In fact, this is not true for every injection of domains! Let $R= k[x,y]$, $S = k[x,xy]$, $I= (x, x^2y^2)$. One needs at least to use the fact that the map is a surjection, not just an epimorphism. – Will Sawin Jul 22 '13 at 2:21

I'm currently working on a Sitecore 10 project using Helix. We currently trying to implement Helix as closely as possible.
We have two feature modules, Consultants and Hospitals. Consultants can work at various hospitals but our features don't know about the relationship. Any ideas how we can get the data out whilst following the principles?
 - I would ask the question - why do you have the 2 features? remember that a module is something that is feature as understood by business owners. So if Hospitals have Consultants, then maybe they should be in the same feature module? – Richard Seal Jan 12 at 13:50
In your case I would create a Foundation project called Hospital and make feature "Consultant" reference to it. Because in a future it could be possible that you need something else ( Cleaner, Nurse, Doctor) but it also need hospital data. Then you can easily reference again to Foundation Hospitals from the new feature project.
One thing to note is that if there is going to be more than one job like Consultant I would probably rename feature "Consultant" to more generic like "Worker" or something similar. Then inside that Worker feature you would have a information of different roles for workers like "Consultant, Cleaner, Nurse, Doctor".
Basically, if you see that one feature depends another, dependency need to be moved into the Foundation layer.
Also, it is not really required to move whole Consultants feature. You need to add a new Foundation project, which will have, for example, a templates and corresponding classes (or interfaces) for _Employee and _Hospital and a code, that will be responsible to retrieve or build Employees and Hospitals data. For example a service, which will return a Employee (an instance of _Employee) by ID, or a list of Employees by HospitalID or a hospital data itself.
Then, Consultants and Hospitals features can inherit and extend (if required) the _Employee, _Hospital and being responsible to display a Consultant data and use this Foundation module for get a base Employee data.
This all is abstract. The main idea to move the modules dependency on one level up.

Two native to Texas ecotypes of hooded and shortspike widmillgrass were recently released. They are well adapted to several environmental conditions throughout Texas and they can be used for several purposes as rangeland re vegetation, and soil and water conservation projects including roadside plantings. Although seed demand is growing there is not technology to effectively produce seed from these grasses. Seed production from several hooded and shortspike windmillgrass ecotypes as a response to increasing nitrogen levels under irrigation was documented in two contrasting places of Texas. Other seed production components were also registered.

In God We Trust
Sermon Title: "In God We Trust"
Scripture Reading: Genesis 22:1-14
Print the letters for T-R-U-S-T alongside a large poster board and let children write words for each letter that will be about our TRUST story today. (For example: T=touch or teach; R=ram or real; U=unbelieveable or understanding; S=sacrifice or Savior; etc).
TRUST WALL HANGING:
Lay a long roll of paper in the middle of the table for children to draw on. Have children write today's Bible verse along all the edges of the paper and then draw pictures of things or people that they trust! After all the drawings are completed, the teacher can take a BRIGHT colored marker and write JESUS across the roll of pictures!
The teacher can lead the children in a TRUST WALK. Along the way, the teacher will say such things as, "Everyone sit on one of these chairs... do you TRUST it to hold you up", or "Do you trust this door to open and let you through", or "Do you trust this refridgerator to keep your drinks cold" (and hand each child a cold juice box and a cookie might be nice at this time), or "stand here in one spot and do you trust your legs to hold you up", or "While we're outside and looking side to side, do you trust your eyeballs to move with the fluid around them so you can see everything?", etc! Ideas for this can be MANY and then have children sit down on the ground and talk about things that we can TRUST GOD to do every day in our lives!
Give children modeling clay or small rocks and let them build an 'altar' and place a toothpick mini-sign in the altar that can say "offer a sacrifice to God"! This could be done individually or together as a class for a larger altar to help the children to remember today's story.
Give each child a piece of paper and glue. Let children draw a large mountain on their picture and sprinkle a small amount of sand over the glue on that mountain! Write over the mountain, TRUST GOD, or HAVE FAITH THAT GOD WILL PROVIDE! For added "details" on the mountain, grass clippings or small flowers could be glued to the Mountain picture to be taken home and reminded each day that GOD PROVIDES!!
Give children beads to make a necklace. Lettered beads can be added to the other colorful beads for T-R-U-S-T G-O-D. These beads can be purchased at any store with a craft section.
Give children various colors of chalk and let children take turns at adding to the picture as they see fit. First child could draw the mountain in our story; second child could draw part of an altar, third child could finish the altar, fourth child could draw Abraham, and continue the picture while telling the story again!

Earth-Moon Center of Gravity
Name: David C.
where is the center of gravity for the earth-moon system,
what effect does this have on the orbit of the earth around the sun?
The center of gravity of the earth-moon system is inside the earth on the
line between the centers of the two bodies. This center of mass proceeds
around the sun in an elliptical orbit.
Richard E. Barrans Jr., Ph.D.
PG Research Foundation, Darien, Illinois
These web sites offer some insight into what appears to be a simple question.
In the crudest approximately the center of gravity of the moon/earth system is
about 2900 km or about 75% of the radius from the center of the earth.
However, things are much more complex than that.
The sun cannot be neglected; in fact it has a large effect on tides. So it
is the sun/moon/earth system that must be taken into account. In addition,
there are at least 10 more drags, wobbles, various wiggles caused by many
sources including the planets, the tidal drag of the oceans, and the fact
that the center of earth rotation changes.... It is all very complicated and
still there are small earth/sun/moon motions for which there is no good
explanation as yet.

In, "Aptitude Tests: Are They Effective in Opening Students' Minds to More Career Paths?, "published on Education Week on Apr. 27, 2021, Education Writer Alyson Klein looks at the value of aptitude assessments for matching students to better-fit careers.
Klein refers to research from the University of Missouri that compared "high school students' natural aptitudes with their self-reported interests in four areas: manufacturing, computer technology, construction, and health care."
The researchers used the YouScience Discovery aptitude assessment and its included interest inventory to examine the gap between self-reported interests and innate aptitudes or talents. Results shows, that particularly for female students, there was a wide gap between personal interests and aptitudes.
Results found that female students had significantly higher aptitudes for the studied fields than they expressed interest in. It also found that male students were 1.6 times more talented at patient care positions that those that showed interest in such careers.

Gouldian Finch Gouldian Finch Gouldian Finch Gouldian Finch Gouldian Finch
Gouldian Finch
These small, brightly colored birds have green backs, yellow bellies, and purple breasts, with a light blue uppertail and a cream undertail. Sometimes called lady gouldians, their facial color can vary, but black is the most common, followed by red and the very rare yellow. This facial mask is bordered by a light blue band. The males are more brightly colored than the female, and males ruffle their feathers to show off their colors to impress females. Young gouldian finches lack the bright coloring, appearing more gray and olive in color.
The birds inhabit open woodlands near water sources and generally nest in hollowed tree branches. Both parents care for the eggs and the young.
Gouldian finches primarily eat grass seeds, except during the breeding season when their diet consists mainly of insects.
Adult gouldian finches grow to approximately 6 inches and weigh about half an ounce.
Gouldian finches are sparsely distributed across northern Australia in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, and Queensland.
Population Status
Though large numbers are bred in captivity, the gouldian finch is endangered in the wild. The species was once widespread across northern Australia, but now only exists in small, fragmented populations due to numerous factors including habitat destruction and wildfires.
Snakes, some mammals, and larger birds prey on the gouldian finch.

A Note From the Caretaker
Gouldian chicks are equipped with blue phosphorescent beads along their mouths, making it easy for the parents to feed them in the darkness of the nest cavity.

New white paper on PDF for archiving standard
DocsCorp has published a new whitepaper on the topic of PDF for Archiving: Everything you need to know in plain, simple English as government and industry bodies worldwide increasingly adopt the standard. This year in the United States will see the Courts move to mandate the filing of case documents with the CM/ECF (Case Management/Electronic Case Files) system in PDF/A.
The PDF/A Competence Center, a non-profit association of more than 110 organizations and individual experts from 20 different countries dedicated to promoting the exchange of information and experience in the area of long-term archiving of documents, describes the standard as follows "PDF/A has been accepted by the International Organization for Standards (ISO) as the standard for the long-term preservation of documents. The standard does not define an archiving strategy or the goals of an archiving system. It identifies a profile for electronic documents that ensures the documents can be reproduced exactly the same way in years to come. A key element to this reproducibility is the requirement for PDF/A documents to be 100% self-contained. All of the information necessary for displaying the document in the same manner every time is embedded in the file."
The aim of the DocsCorp whitepaper is to explain the reasoning behind the standard and how it is different from a normal PDF with as few acronyms and as little jargon and technical explanation as possible. More specifically, the paper answers these frequently asked questions:
1. What is PDF/A, and how is it different from a non-PDF/A document?
2. How do I know if a document is PDF/A compliant?
3. How do I create a PDF/A document?
4. Is there a way to make documents PDF/A ready, without actually converting them to PDF/A?
5. Should I implement these changes to existing PDF workflows?
6. Should I be converting every document to PDF/A now?

Statistical hybridization of normal and Weibull distributions with its properties and applicationsAuthor(s):
Akintunde Oyetunde AAbstract:
The normal distribution is one of the most popular probability distributions with applications to real life data. In this research paper, an extension of this distribution together with Weibull distribution called the Weimal distribution which is believed to provide greater flexibility to model scenarios involving skewed data was proposed. The probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the new distribution can be represented as a linear combination of exponential normal density functions. Analytical expressions for some mathematical quantities comprising of moments, moment generating generating function, characteristic function and order statistics were presented. The estimation of the proposed distribution's parameters was undertaken using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. Two data sets were used for illustration and performance evaluation of the proposed model. The results of the comparative analysis to other baseline models show that the proposed distribution would be more appropriate when dealing with skewed data.Pages: 62-68 | Views: 567 | Downloads: 14Download Full Article: Click Here

Is this a bug in R or does it make sense?
## works
aa <- matrix(nrow=1,ncol=2)
dimnames(aa)[[2]] <- c("a","b")
dimnames(aa)[[1]] <- c("c")
## does not work
bb <- matrix(nrow=1,ncol=2)
dimnames(bb)[[1]] <- c("c")
Error in dimnames(bb)[[1]] <- c("c") : 'dimnames' must be a list
Thanks for explanations!

This is expected behavior. When you assign to an index of an element of an object, R will create the element if it doesn't exist. In your example "dimnames" doesn't exist in aa, so R tries to create "dimnames" based on what you're assigning to it. Consider assigning elements named "a", "b", and "c" of a list:
> L <- list()
> L$a[[1]] <- 5
> L$b[[3]] <- "foo"
> L$c[[4]] <- c(1,2,3)
> class(L$a)
[1] "numeric"
> class(L$b)
[1] "character"
> class(L$c)
[1] "list"
Now the problem with saying L$a[[1]] <- anything is that L$a doesn't exist yet. What happens when an element doesn't exist is that R just creates the simplest type of element that would work. As you can see, L$a[[1]] <- 5 would make sense if L$a is a numeric vector, so R makes it a numeric vector. L$b[[3]] <- "foo" doesn't make sense if L$b is a numeric vector, but it would make sense if L$b is a character vector, so that's what R creates. But L$c[[4]] <- c(1,2,3) can only happen if L$c is a list, so in that case you get a list.
In your case, it tries to create dimnames according to that rule; so it makes dimnames(aa) a list, but it only makes dimnames(bb) a character vector. But dimnames has an extra constraint that it has to be a list, so it objects and you get an error.

Thanks! that was helpful! – Florian Sep 25 '12 at 10:49
+1 Well illustrated. – Marc in the box Sep 25 '12 at 12:56

You could use
dimnames(bb)[[1]] <- list("c")
This command will assign the name as a row name.
I suppose the error is due to the list of dimnames not being created. Otherwise if you access the second part of the list first ([[2]]), the list will be created. Therefore, you can also access dimnames[[1]] afterwards.

I'm actually surprised that works; aa$b[[1]] <- list("c") makes aa$b a list containing a list, which isn't what you want with dimnames. Using the single brackets i.e. dimnames(aa)[1] <- list("c") also works and is more consistent with how R behaves elsewhere. – crowding Sep 25 '12 at 8:46
_USER_ I agree, that it's more consistent to use single brackets. But actually, the results of dimnames(aa)[1] <- list("c")and dimnames(aa)[[1]] <- list("c") are identical. – Sven Hohenstein Sep 25 '12 at 8:56

I would do what the error says:
> bb
 [,1] [,2]
c NA NA
What also works:
dimnames(bb)[[1]] <- "c"

Question 88: Why The Youth of Today Avoid Religious Gatherings?
Question: What are the factors that cause a section of youth to remain aloof from religious gatherings? Is not time ripe that we take steps to remove this difficulty? What is the method of solving this problem? And what course of action can be adopted to attract the youth to religious gatherings?
Answer: In our view many youths keep away from religious programs due to a number of factors. Two of them are most important.
First of them is poisonous propaganda that foreign agents have unleashed on our young people since a long time. This had made them suspicious of our religious gatherings and spirituality. Because facts are presented to them in a distorted form.
Another thing is the lack of discipline in the religious program. And in many programs there is lack of attention to Islamic principles through the exalted knowledge of which the thirst of curious youngsters is quenched.
These two factors are such that due to their effect many of our young people have become distanced from those programs. But fortunately in recent years there has been awakening in our youth. And they have realized the evil intentions of those foreign elements, which have been used to poison their minds. That is why that youth attend the religious programs in large numbers and we see them present in those programs with our own eyes.
Regarding the second factor of repulsion of the youth steps have been devised and no there is no lack of people who keep the changing times in view and through Islamic logic can solve the mental confusion of the young Muslims. Though we agree that their number is not as required by the present circumstances.

Adaptable, High-Performance, Low-Integration-Cost Magnetometer for Satellites
Creare proposes to develop an adaptable, high-performance, low-integration-cost magnetometer measurement system that can be used on a wide range of Air Force, other DoD, NASA, and commercial satellites. Accurate, space-based magnetic measurements are critical for mapping magnetic fields around Earth, which is needed to understand and predict the motion of charged particles and plasmas. Magnetic field measurements provide data about the Earth"s subsurface, which other space measurements do not provide. Magnetic field measurements also play an important role in space weather and engineering applications of Earth-orbiting satellites, such as attitude determination, momentum management, and scientific instrument pointing. Creare"s Adaptable, High-Performance, Low-Integration-Cost Magnetometer for Satellites combines available magnetometer hardware with innovative algorithms for calibration that are used to tailor the magnetometer measurement system to meet specific mission requirements without undue cost and physical constraints on the host satellite. Our calibration algorithms have been shown to compensate for hard and soft magnetic disturbances on the host satellite and allow measurement of magnetic fields on a wide range of satellite missions. During Phase I we demonstrated the feasibility of our approach. During Phase II, we will fabricate, test, and deliver a prototype adaptable, high-performance, low-integration-cost magnetometer system based on our innovative design. BENEFIT: In addition to providing the required magnetic sensing capability for a wide range of satellites for the Air Force, Creare"s adaptable, high-performance, low-integration-cost magnetometer has the potential to influence satellite communications, global positioning systems, radar ranging, and inertial navigation systems.

Eagle Rock Observatory comprises two fixed facilities: the domed observatory building and an observing pad with a permanent telescope pier. The observatory building is the newer and more capable facility, but the observing pad still has its uses.
This page provides brief descriptions of the Eagle Rock Observatory facilities and equipment. Some sections include a link to another page with more detailed information. The contents of this page are...
The Observatory
telescope set up in garage bay
The Observatory Building
The observatory building is a Technical Innovations Prodome Model PD-10, ten feet in diameter, installed on a 12x12 foot concrete pad. The walls are four feet high, and the peak of the dome is nine feet high.
The observatory is equipped with electric shutter and dome rotation motors. The dome motors can be controlled either manually or by an automated controller. Dome rotation can be synchronized to the telescope, and the entire system can be controlled remotely from the residence.
The building is located in an open space about 125 feet southwest of the residence. Utilities from the residence include two independent electric circuits, multiple ethernet and video cables, telephone, intercom, security system wiring, and a wiring conduit to an external weather station.
The observatory building was completed in September 2007, and first light was in October 2007.
telescope set up in garage bay
The Telescope
The 16-inch Meade RCX400 was purchased in March 2007. It features Meade's Advanced Coma-Free optics and computerized go-to operation.
The specifications are
Other notable features include:
The telescope is permanently installed on a LeSueur Manufacturing Astro Pier in altazimuth mode to optimize it for visual observing.
computer workstation
Support Equipment
The telescope and dome controller are interfaced to a Dell Optiplex 380 minitower computer with a 2.60 GHz Pentium dual-core CPU and 4 GB RAM, operating Windows 7 with Windows XP mode. The operating system has since been upgraded to Windows 10 Professional. A dual monitor graphics card allows the dedicated use of one monitor for a planetarium program and the second monitor for operation of the dome, weather station, and other observatory equipment. The observatory computer is interfaced to the household network and ultimately the Internet. A Saitek Eclipse PZ30AUR backlit keyboard simplifies using the computer in the darkened observatory. A removable red filter covers the right-hand monitor, and a privacy filter covers the left monitor during observing sessions to preserve night vision. The mouse and mouse pad are also dimly illuminated so it is easy to find the mouse in the dark.
computer and UPS
Windows Remote Desktop allows remote operation of the observatory and telescope from any computer in the residence, including laptops with wireless internet connections. In practice, I use remote operation with considerable caution because of the danger of telescope slews against hard stops, jammed dome or shutter, and the like. However, remote operation is particularly convenient for routine computer upkeep and data transfers.
A UPS protects the computer from power surges and failures, and allows closing the shutter in the event of an extended power loss.
West computer shelf
The concrete pad inside the observatory is covered with indoor/outdoor carpet, with a rubberized surface, over a closed-cell foam pad. The quality of the carpet and pad are important. The gap between dome and wall can't be completely sealed, and rain and snow will be blown into the building or carried in through the door. The pad is the best I could find. It provides welcome insulation for my feet on cold winter nights, and a soft landing in the event something like an eyepiece gets dropped.
Red and white rope lighting, controlled by independent dimmers, is installed under a circumferential wall flange to provide indirect lighting. Switched outlets around the walls and near the pier allow for future installation of work lights.
Two sets of wall-mounted custom shelving provide storage and work space. An additional pair of shelves accommodate the computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
portable air conditioner
A folding two-step stepladder, and a folding observing chair, provide access to, and seating at, the eyepiece when needed. In addition, I use a small rolling stool for seating at the computer. The stool fits neatly under the keyboard shelves when not in use.
A portable air conditioner keeps the inside of the building below about 90F during the Summer, primarily to prevent damage to the telescope and electronics.
Finally, a portable vacuum cleaner and other cleaning supplies help me keep ahead of the Idaho dust that inevitably makes its way into the observatory.
The Observing Pad
the observing pad
The open-air observing pad is located about 50 feet southeast of the residence. It is a 10x10-foot concrete pad surrounding a LeSueur Manufacturing Astro Pier with a Polaris mount. The pier accomodates a removable Celestron C8 Deluxe eight-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, or any telescope with a compatible bolt circle on the base. The Polaris mount provides an adjustable equatorial mount for the telescope.
Utilities from the residence include electrical outlets, and multiple ethernet and video cables.
The observing pier allows the telescope to be brought out from an indoor storage room to the pier and set up for observing within five minutes. The telescope is in excellent polar alignment as soon as it is bolted to the wedge.
The observing pad was completed in September 2006.
Although the observatory and RCX400 telescope are far preferable to the observing pad for most purposes, the observing pad is still an excellent facility. In particular, it has the following uses:
The disadvantages of the observing pad led to the decision to build an observatory:


Cravings in pregnancy: why they appear, causes and how to reduce them
Believe it or not, statistics say that three out of four pregnant women feel cravings throughout pregnancy, especially related to food. They tend to be fixed and clear cravings, which are not satisfied with any other food that-at any other time-could serve as a substitute.
They are part of pregnancy and are absolutely normal. In fact, it is estimated that around 90% of women have some craving for at least one type of food during pregnancy. And such cravings are irreplaceable.
For example, if the pregnant woman wants a piece of chocolate, a cup of ice cream or even just a piece of fruit, she will feel the need for satisfaction and the desire will also become urgent, so she will need to consume it and no other food it will serve as a substitute.
On the other hand, as we indicated, in general Cravings in pregnancy are presented as a need for urgent satisfaction, so that it must be satisfied as quickly as possible. When this is achieved it produces a special pleasure in the woman, but when it is not like that, the pregnant woman can become serious and angry.
But it may be the case that the craving is not about a particular food in particular (such as a piece of cake or a fruit). It may happen that the craving is related to a mixture of bizarre food and that at other times could terrify more than one, such as eating hot sauce by spoonfuls or "enjoy" a plate of olives and sweet cheese cake.
What are the causes of cravings in pregnancy?
The truth is that experts are not entirely clear what are the causes that can influence or cause the appearance of known cravings during pregnancy.
Most experts establish three related causes:
Hormone revolution
It is well known that, pregnancy, is a real revolution in the body of women, especially as far as hormonal changes are concerned. In this sense, many experts relate hormonal changes with the appearance of cravings, which apparently would be related to the changes that occur in the senses of taste and smell.
Thus, while a pregnant woman may experience a craving for a particular food or food, she may also have rejection for other dishes.
Nutritional deficiencies
Some specialists attribute the appearance of cravings to the existence of nutritional deficits, so that depending on the deficit that exists the craving will appear for one food or another.
For example, it is common for vitamin B deficiency to make women feel like eating chocolate, the need for protein could be related to the desire to eat meat, the lack of antioxidants such as beta carotene could influence the desire to eat carrots or peaches...
The same happens with the need to consume fatty acids, and the increase in the desire to eat foods rich in natural oils (as is the case of olive oil).
Possible psychological cause
From a psychological point of view, some experts consider that the greater need for affection and the feeling of anxiety that pregnancy generates tend to be the main causes that would cause the appearance of cravings.
For this reason it is usually very common that the foods that tend to crave the most are less healthy foods, as would be the case of ice cream, candy, jelly beans, cakes or traditional chocolate.
How can we reduce the cravings of pregnancy?
The cravings can become a serious problem when we try to maintain an appropriate weight based on our physical complexion, height and physical activity, even more so if we are following a diet of weight loss. In the case, for example, of pregnancy, this can be equally negative for both your health and that of your baby if you opt for highly caloric, little nutritious and healthy foods.
Although there is no doubt about the important nutritional benefits that fruit and vegetables provide, the truth is that every day it is common to feel desires to sink the tooth into a bag of chips, a cake or a bun.
The result? Its high amount of empty calories, fat and therefore in calories, can negatively influence not only our own weight, but our health, increasing the risk of overweight and obesity when then that excessive consumption of calories is not burned through of the practice of physical exercise.
Obviously, when we talk about cravings we also talk about chopping between meals, because when we can not control our appetite, it is quite common for our bodies to ask us to consume foods rich in simple carbohydrates.
If you are one of those who can not resist a whim, especially when you have it in front of your nose, it is possible that - if you wish - you need some tips to reduce cravings:
 - Eat 5 times a day: if you eat several times a day, and avoid chopping between meals, you will get that when you get to the next meal you will not have a ravenous hunger that would ultimately influence you to eat excessively. You can distribute your meals at breakfast, lunch, lunch, snack and dinner.
 - Avoid having unhealthy products at home: if for example you are going to make the purchase, try to have more in your pantry healthy foods like fresh fruit, and avoid buying pastries, cookies and chocolates. It will help you not to eat them, precisely because you will not have them at home.
 - Eat slowly: It is essential to give your stomach the time it takes to process food, and send signals to the brain that we are already satisfied. If you eat very fast, however, you will tend to overeat without realizing it, and then you will also feel heavier and more bloated.
 - In case of craving... do it yourself: only in a timely manner, if you can not avoid a craving it is always more advisable to make the dessert yourself than to buy it, since you will know what ingredients you will use in the recipe (it is very common that these are natural, and therefore much healthier).
 - Reduce your anxiety and stress: Did you know that when you feel anxiety or stress it is very common for you to use a good roll, cake or eat many chocolates as a de-stressing? The reason we owe especially to the release of ghrelin, a hormone released in the stomach that causes us a terrible desire to eat more.

Brave bird fearlessly protects its nest from a herd of elephants
When things come to our family, most us will do whatever it takes to keep peace and protect the sound health of our beloved ones. Same happens in the wild nature. At times scientists become witnesses of situations which seem impossible. This time such an amazing encounter between a bird and a herd of elephants took place in Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve.
A crowned crane lost his fear when it saw several elephants approaching the bird's nest. The winged hero started to show protecting poses in front of elepants trying to turn them back and move in the opposite direction from the nest. The reaction of the elephants is also very unusual. Being stronger that the bird, these huge creature seemed bemused watching the crane raising its wings and making shouting sounds. At first, they were not much convinced by the bird's performance. However, the winged warrior approached the elephant calf and tried to explain the need of going away to the baby, adult elephants became little bit annoyd and disturbed.
After a few attempts the efforts of the crowned crane were finally successfull. The elephants left the place and went to gaze somewhere else.

Polonia, this jester is pleased as punch to tell you, that you can now celebrate Columbus Day as well as Pulaski Day, so get out there in September with the Italians and celebrate with pride our newest Pole, Christopher Columbus! Portuguese historian Manuel Rosa has spent the better part of two decades studying the Columbus myth and has now reached a new conclusion, that everything we thought we knew about Columbus was wrong.
First book up on the background articles:
- AOLBook: Columbus Was Son of Polish King
- London Daily Mail: Christopher Columbowicz
Apparently Columbus's grandfather was the founder of the Jagiellonian Line of Polish Kings. And his father was Wladislaw III. Wladislaw III was thought to have died at the Battle of Varna in 1444. Luckily for America he survived, found absolution in Palestine for his wrongs, and settled in Portugal, where the Portuguese King gave him land on the island of Madeira, and he married Portuguese aristocracy and had two sons (one of which was Columbus).
Now this story makes sense of why Columbus had access to no less than four royal lines who he could approach and propose such a venture of discovering a new path to the Orient (uh America, ummm, the Caribbean Islands). A Book is coming and National Geographic is also interested in the story. Manuel Rosa is now seeking access to DNA to prove his theory. In the mean time, lets see some Polish flags next September at the Columbus Day Holiday Parades and reclaim our prodigal son from the Italians. This will be a nice entre into October (Polish History Month, Pulaski Day celebrations) giving Polonia two months of pride. Also drink some Madiera wines. It appears we can thank our Polish son for this wine appearing in the Americas — a nice red wine. This also adds to the credibility that Columbus was born on the Island of Madiera (a Portuguese territory at the time) and not in Genoa.

text: ALPINE ADVANCED MATERIALS INTRODUCES HX5® BILLETS FOR FASTER AND MORE EXACT PROTOTYPING As Manufacturers Convert from Metal, Alpine Hones Prototyping of Advanced Materials to More Quickly and Affordably Deliver Accurate Samples for Testing and Analysis DALLAS (July 2021) – Alpine Advanced Materials has introduced billet manufacturing to significantly reduce the costs of and time needed to produce exact prototypes. With more clients converting from metal to advanced materials, Alpine has answered the call with HX5® billets in various sizes that can be machined just like metal without the expensive outlay of creating an injection mold. Traditionally, designers wanting to convert from metal have been hesitant to pursue new material options, especially when injection molding is involved. While cost effective for production, injection molds aren't efficient for prototyping and are only viable after a design is finalized. And because manufacturers lack the experience of converting from metal to advanced materials like Alpine's flagship HX5, they may not fully understand the opportunities for design improvement, such as part consolidation. Alpine expects billet manufacturing will cut costs, timelines, and uncertainties, inspiring more clients to embrace the environmental and operational benefits of lightweight parts and components by using advanced materials. "Converting parts from metal creates weight savings that presents one of the greatest opportunities to make actual cuts in emissions, we're not talking carbon credit offsets here," said Roger Raley, president of Alpine Advanced Materials. "The great majority of emissions are generated through the ongoing operation of heavy industries like aerospace that can be easily addressed by cutting weight. Further, the beauty of lightweighting is that it also increases performance, meaning the costs of conversion are quickly recuperated, whether it be through reduced fuel usage, increased payloads, or extended range. Using our new billet manufacturing to prototype means we can affordably and accurately help our clients realistically pursue conversion from metals." With shortages becoming more apparent in supply chains due to global interruptions in shipping and demand supply, the discussion about converting to more reliably sourced materials is also timelier than ever. HX5, a lightweight aviation-grade thermoplastic nanocomposite, was engineered to replace machined aerospace-grade aluminum at half the weight. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, environmental resistance, and manufacturing flexibility, it can be injection molded, formed, extruded, or machined like aluminum. When price and availability of materials proves unreliable and unstable, it is imperative for manufacturers to ensure that the materials parts are made of are both readily available and can be affordably sourced. Domestically produced advanced materials like HX5 are not only predictable and advantageous for supply chains, but also allow for more complex but strong shapes. These more carefully thought out components can be readily manufactured and mass-produced in weeks versus the months typically needed for machined metal parts. "We cut our teeth working with advanced materials like HX5, a material developed by Lockheed Martin Skunks Works® to be the highest performing, most versatile thermoplastic out there," added Raley. "With over a decade of test data to support it, HX5 is one of the most highly characterized materials available. We know how HX5 performs through moldflow and finite elemental analysis, and have become unparalleled experts in designing better parts, and better parts start with better prototypes." # # # About Alpine Advanced Materials Alpine Advanced Materials is a leading expert in the design and manufacture of custom-engineered parts and products for the world's most demanding aerospace, defense, energy, space, and outdoor applications. The company commercializes high-performance materials originally developed and qualified by top defense contractors, including its flagship HX5™ military aviation-grade thermoplastic nanocomposite. Engineered to replace machined aluminum, HX5 is half the weight and has been both tested and proven against the harshest environments in the world. HX5 is currently in use on jet fighters, high-speed helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, amphibious transport vehicles, rockets, and satellites, and is highly adaptable without sacrificing strength or performance. Its customization and unrivaled manufacturability here in the U.S. combined with its high tolerance and dimensional stability make it an ideal alternative to the cost and production challenges associated with aluminum.

I am working on a HTML5 Project.There is a drawing graphics API to draw Rectangle (fillRectStrokeRect).But how can i draw a SQUARE. I have tried the following way to draw it CODE
x2=mx; y2=my;
var width=endX-startX;
var height=endY-startY;
var centerX=width/2;
var centerY=width/2;
var radius=width/2;
annCanvasContext.arc(centerX+5, centerY+5, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);

Use fillRect or strokeRect with the width and height being equal.
var x = 0, y = 0,
 side = 10;
ctx.fillRect(x, y, side, side);
As you say in the comments, if you want to fit the largest square in a circle, it's more Math related than about code. I'll trying explaining it to you, but you'll probably find better, more visual explanations elsewhere on the Internet.
Draw the diameter of the circle in a way that it divides your square into two equal parts. Now one part is a right angled triangle, which has two of its sides equal. We know the diameter. Using the Pythogorean theorem, you get this equation: side^2 + side^2 = diameter^2.
Let's find the side now.
2(side^2) = diameter^2
side^2 = (diameter^2)/2
side = Math.sqrt( (diameter^2)/2 )
Now, to turn this into code.
 radius = 20;
ctx.canvas.addEventListener('click', function (e){
 ctx.fillStyle = 'black';
 ctx.arc(e.pageX, e.pageY, radius, 0, Math.PI*2, false);
 ctx.fillStyle ='red';
 var diameter = radius * 2;
 var side = Math.sqrt( (diameter * diameter)/2 );
 ctx.fillRect(e.pageX - side/2, e.pageY - side/2, side, side);
}, false);
This would draw a square inside a circle wherever you click on the canvas.

_USER_ What the are you trying to do? Either the side or the radius have to be fixed. You said you want to calculate the raduys according to the height or width. The height / width of a square is the side. Make the side variable whatever you want and then calculate the radius – Some Guy Sep 13 '12 at 14:57
_USER_ No, I can't. – Some Guy Sep 17 '12 at 11:03

Definitions for "Wrought Iron"
Keywords: forge, malleable, hammer, iron, slag
In its perfect condition, wrought iron is simply pure iron, but, owing to impurities (to a certain degree) being present, it only approximates to that condition.
Iron construction that is created by the use of heating iron and pounding it into a shape with a hammer.
A commercial iron that has little use today and has been replaced by mild steel. It was commonly produced by the puddling process. The temperatures employed in its production are too low to render it fluid, it is heated until it forms a pasty mass then it is squeezed or forged. The process does not lend itself to removal of impurities so it contains an appreciable quantity of slag. It will not respond to any heat treatment designed to increase the hardness or strength.
Keywords: patio, rust, chairs, railings, preserve
Type of material that is used typically for railings or patio chairs and tables. It is painted with special paint to prevent rust and preserve the finish. Mostly commonly it is black or white.

The global fats and oils market grew at a CAGR of around 5% during 2014-2019.
Fats and oil are esters of glycerol with three fatty acids, also known as triacylglycerols, and found naturally in both plants and animals. They form a vital part of a healthy diet as they are a rich source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) that provide energy, insulate organs and transport A, D, E and K vitamins through the blood. Consequently, they are employed in the food and beverages (F&B) industry extensively to enhance the flavor and texture of various food items. Besides this, they are also utilized in the production of animal feed, pharmaceuticals, biodiesel and oleochemicals.
The increasing consumption of processed food products represents one of the key factors impelling the global fats and oils market growth. Apart from this, favorable government policies to support the utilization of biodiesel and minimize the environmental impact of fossil fuels is positively influencing the market growth. Furthermore, the growing preference for oleochemicals over petrochemicals in the production of soaps, paints, detergents, varnishes and lubricants is also contributing to the market growth. At present, due to the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), there is a rise in the consumption of healthy edible oils and nutritional products, such as extra virgin olive oil, and nut butter and pastes, for boosting the immune system. However, due to lockdowns imposed by governments of numerous countries and temporary shutdowns of various manufacturing units, the production and distribution of these products have been affected, which is negatively impacting the market growth. The market is anticipated to grow again once normalcy is regained. Looking forward, the analyst expects the global fats and oils market to continue its moderate growth during the next five years.

Topic: Re: How do we solve the solids settling problem?
posed by
This question is lacking a couple of key pieces of information about the solids settling problem, but I can use common information to get a good estimate of the potential problems. The density of the solids (500 kg/m^3) is obviously a bulk density, not a particle density. If the particle density were 500 kg/m^3, they would float on the water at 1,000 kg/m^3. Floating solids are a more difficult problem than settling solids. To accurately assess solids suspension, a particle size, or size distribution, along with a particle (material) density is necessary to predict how rapidly solids will settle. However, based on your industry, the solids (particle) density is not high, like mineral ore, and the size is probably less than a few hundred microns. Using some reasonable estimates for the missing information, the solids suspension capabilities of the mixer should be fairly good, although several other reasons exist for why you have problems. Without questions the impeller is located very near the bottom, probably to assure mixing suspension at low liquid levels. This bottom impeller will always do most of the actual solids suspension. Adding an upper impeller will do little to lift more solids off the bottom, it will only reduce the solids concentration near the bottom. Concentration does not have a strong effect on solids suspension, unless it is high enough to change the apparent fluid viscosity. The real problem may be with the concentration of solids and their effect on the fluid properties. Whether you are dealing with a 1 to 1.5 or a 1 to 2 concentration and whether that ratio is based on volume or density, you have a high concentration of solids. Taking the more dilute ratio, you could be talking about 1 volume (m^3) of solids (500 kg) in 2 volumes (m^3) of water (2,000 kg), which gives you 500 kg solids in 2,500 kg of mixture for 20 wt%. If you are talking masses, you could have 1,000 kg of solids in 2,000 kg of water, or a 33 wt% mixture. The higher ratio 1 to 1.5 only increases these concentration estimates. Any concentration above 20 wt% potentially have a strong effect of the apparent viscosity of the mixture, especially with moderate to low density particles. The actual concentration effect can be influenced by volume percent and particle size. Small particles are more likely to affect viscosity than larger particles. Your problem may be more the effect of a high viscosity mixture, including a yield stress, which may mean that the fluid does not move well, or even in all parts of the tank. If the fluid does not move, you will get stagnant places and settled solids. The solution to both improved solids suspension (if that is the problem) or better handling of a high viscosity (or non-Newtonian, yield stress) fluid is two impellers and larger impellers. If the current impeller is a hydrofoil with three narrow blades, operating at 340 rpm, it is using only about 0.75 hp of the 7.5 hp motor. This mixer could work with two (2) 450 mm diameter impellers, drawing about 1.8 hp, or two (2) 500 mm impellers, drawing about 5.2 hp. Two larger impellers would make better use of the available mixer power and increase the mixing for both solids suspension and high viscosity. Even if the estimates for power requirements are high, lowering the operating speed of the mixer will solve that problem. This answer contains a number of assumptions about what is happening, but options for changes should make improvements.

There are no crescent and stars on the doors or walls of two holy mosques, except you see a crescent shape on the minarets. Is there any basis for taking the crescent or star as a symbol of the Muslims in Sharee'ah?, questions Dr.Fiaz Fazili.
Throughout the history, people have used symbols to represent their spiritual beliefs. Today, the star and crescent is commonly accepted as a symbol of Islam, and is used in national flags of many Islamic countries e.g., Algeria, Azerbaijan, Comoros, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Uzbekistan, and Western Sahara.,cover of magazines, doors of mosques, halal meat shops, wayside restaurants, decorative arts, ceramics and jewelry. Many Muslim scholars consider that this symbol was not used by the Prophet Muhammad(Pbuh) and therefore has no basis in Islam. What does it symbolize or mean then? Is it a valid symbol for the faith? What prompted me to look back into the Islamic history was, a tatoo,"crescent and star," inscribed below the right index finger of a fellow devotee which diverted my attention in Tashahhud, during one of the Friday prayers in,"masjid nabawi". At the end of prayers, before I could warn this brother about the permissibility of tattoos in Islam, the man disappeared in the crowd. This incident reminded me of our school day habits, when we used to draw crescent and star with green ink on the dorsum of our hands, even some of my uncles had crescent and star tattooed on their wrists.Thus began the search for the origin of the crescent and star and its association with Islam. Contrary to popular belief, the symbol is not Muslim in origin, historians say that they were the insignia of the Ottoman Empire, not of Islam as a whole, and its use today is sometimes controversial in the Muslim world, leaving a scope for further debate from Islamic scholars on this subject-How and when did crescent moon and star become associated with the faith of Islam? Does it symbolize Islam? It's somewhat cloudy even today,if I ask believers, "What type of logo would they suggest for my forthcoming Islamic publication?",the majority most probably still will choose the same, "The crescent moon and star". But, we as Muslims have to weigh the things in Islamic perspective. There are no crescent and stars on the doors or walls of two holy mosques, except you see a crescent shape on the minarets. Is there any basis for taking the crescent or star as a symbol of the Muslims in Sharee'ah? The star and crescent was not known at the time of the Prophet (pbuh)), or at the time of the Khulafa' al-Raashidoon (the first four leaders of Islam after the departure of the Prophet (pbuh) from this earthly world, or during the time of the Umawis (Umayyad dynasty). It emerged some time after that, and historians differ as to when this symbol was first adopted and who was the first to adopt it. Some say it was the Persians, others say it was the Greeks, and that this symbol was somehow passed to the Muslims. (Al-Taraateeb al-Idaariyah by al-Kittaani). The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years, most sources agree that these ancient celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia in their worship. In fact, the star and crescent has actually acquired its association to the faith by association rather than intent, beginning / starting with the Ottoman Empire.Some historians, believe that the city of Byzantium (later known as Constantinople and Istanbul) adopted the crescent moon as its symbol. The symbol remained in near constant use, it wasn't until the Ottoman Turks took over Constantinople (Istanbul), and they adopted the city's existing flag and the symbol. Since the Ottomans were also ruling Dar al-Islam,(political head of the faith,the House of Islam, the community of believers,) and for hundreds of years, the Ottoman Empire ruled over the Muslim world, folks started adapting the crescent moon as a symbol for Islam in general, and began putting it on mosques, minarets, and anything else they wanted to decorate. But they didn't ever use it for decoration on the holy book Quran, since the Quran was "dictated by the Angel of God to the Messenger of God" and so should not bear any symbol. After centuries of battle with Christian Europe, it is understandable how the symbols of this empire became linked in people's minds with the faith of Islam as a whole. Based on this history, many Muslim scholars reject using the crescent moon as a symbol of Islam. The faith of Islam historically had no symbol, and many refuse to accept it. Christians, seeing the crescent moon displayed as a battle standard, assumed it was the symbol of Islam, analogous to the cross as the symbol of Christianity, but it's not the first time that erroneous understandings have taken root. There is some debate in the Muslim community even today about the use of the crescent as a symbol helps to distinguish Muslim establishments from non-Muslim establishments( crescent and star emblem on meat shops or restaurants helps Muslims to identify a halal food outlet)in a non Islamic society. Some scholars believe that since Islamic calendar is closely associated with the appearance of crescent, hence the attachment. Even in UN the Red Crescent is registered as an alternative logo to cross for international relief. In light of Islamic teachings, also In Quran as such there is no mention of symbols used in Islam or to represent Islam itself. While reviewing the Islamic history, we understand that the Prophet (pbuh) used flags of different colors in different Ghazwat (campaigns commanded by the Prophet) and Saraya (campaign commanded by any Sahabi)" Islamic armies and caravans flew simple solid-colored flags (generally black, green, or white) for identification purposes. The Prophet,s actual favorite color was green. However banners were used in the time of the Prophet(pbuh)- White banner (plain)- (Al Raheeq al Maktoom) Green banner (plain)- Black banner (plain and also with the Tawheed written on it, one flag black on white, on the other white on black, bearing an Arabic inscription inscribed "Nasr um min Allah," "with the help of Allah."or Shahadah "La ilaha ila lalah Muhmamad u Rasulla Allah" "There is no god but Allah(GOD) and Mohammad(saw) is the messenger of Allah." In later generations, the Muslim leaders continued to use a simple black, white, or green flag with no markings, writing, or symbolism on it. Some writers have mentioned even using red color on the Muslim banners. (Evolution of the Arab FlagHadi).Regardless of its origins, the color green has been firmly cemented in Islamic culture for centuries, the famous dome of our beloved Prophet.s resting place is green and green is my favorite color also, crescent and star is still my favorite logo. This leads to the question, what other "symbol" represents the Islamic faith? Is it necessary to even have a symbol? The only way you could really see the symbols of Islam, in my personal opinion is through the biography of Prophet Muhammad( PBUH),no matter how much people tell you about Islam! and no matter how they try to convince you about anything! I think that everything can be seen clearly through this biography! You can see the way He used to act! Try reading daily from the Prophet biography (seerah)! Even if it is one page daily! You will enjoy acquiring the knowledge it! But make sure it's a good one! That's best to my knowledge but Allah knows the best. I hope this helps to remove some misconceptions, and adds to the knowledge about Islamic history,leaving further a scope for Islamic scholars to guide the ummah correctly on this subject, whether we can continue using these signs.

Background and Aim: The liver has a unique capacity to regenerate upon exposure to viral infections, toxic reactions and cancer formation. Liver regeneration is a complex phenomenon in which several factors participate during its onset. Cellular proliferation is an important component of this process and the factors that regulate this proliferation have a vital role. FLT3, a well-known hematopoietic stem cell and hepatic lineage surface marker, is involved in proliferative events of hematopoietic stem cells. However, its contribution to liver regeneration is not known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to clone and examine the role of FLT3 during liver regeneration in rats. Methods: Partial cDNA of rat homolog of FLT3 gene was cloned from thymus and the tissue specific expression of this gene at mRNA and protein levels was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot. After treating with 2-AAF and performing hepatectomy in rats to induce progenitor-dependent liver regeneration, the mRNA and protein expression profile of FLT3 was investigated by real-time PCR and Western blot during liver regeneration. In addition, cellular localization of FLT3 protein was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results: The results indicated that rat FLT3 cDNA has high homology with mouse and human FLT3 cDNA. It was also found that FLT3 is expressed in most of the rat tissues and during liver regeneration. In addition, its intracellular localization is altered during the late stages of liver regeneration. Conclusion: The FLT3 receptor is activated at the late stages of liver regeneration and participates in the proliferation response that is observed during progenitor-dependent liver regeneration. © 2006 The Authors.


What is a squirrel midden?
Basically, a squirrel's favorite spot to eat. The squirrel midden is the mess of leftovers squirrels leave after eating.
Squirrel Midden or their Picnic Table
One favorite food of the red squirrel is the spruce cone. Sitting on their favorite branch, stump, or wherever, they pull the outside bits of the cone off, letting them fall to the ground below, and eat the seeds inside. The piles of left over spruce cone bits below are often easily found around a spruce forest floor. They can get pretty big, some reported as large as garages.
Squirrels also hide or store their food for the winter. They do not always remember where they have hidden some of the spruce cones. Often you will see holes around the midden where they may or may not have had a successful search. Some of the forgotten ones may grow into spruce trees.
Why store food? Red squirrels do not hibernate, they remain active through out the winter. The extra caches of food can come in handy when supplies are low during the cold months.

DELO Industrial Adhesives has tested and released 14 adhesives for use in LED lighting. Ten products have received approval for direct LED contact, and an additional four were certified for indirect contact. They allow for durable, high-intensity LED modules and light engines.
The fourteen adhesives demonstrated their chemical tolerance in tests standard for the LED industry. The modules were supplied with 700 mA for six weeks, which heated them to up to 70 °C. During the subsequent intensity test, there was no decrease in brightness for the products meant for direct LED contact, and for those with indirect contact only a very slight decrease. The low-outgassing and yellowing-resistant adhesives ensure the long-term high optical quality of the LED module.
DELO predominantly uses light-curing epoxy resins for its LED-compatible products. Compared with silicones, they are more stable and provide a better seal. Under some circumstances, humidity can enter the LED and electronics when silicones are used, which shortens their service life. Light curing of epoxy resins and acrylates is also faster, making them more efficient to produce. Their temperature stability and flexibility means that they can withstand extreme heat, cold, and even vibrations. Their universal adhesion also allows reliable and practically invisible connections of even the most complex geometries and material combinations.
Adhesives make the difference
Design and quality – two aspects that can be affected by the adhesive used – can make LED lamps stand out from the competition on the lighting market. Adhesive is typically used to fix lenses or reflectors, and can also seal LED lamps into glass plates or housings. When module and lamp manufacturers employ LED-compatible adhesives rather than the frequently used screw or plug connections, they achieve a better seal, which lowers the probability of a failure or decline in intensity.

Great teachers are not born — they're taught. That philosophy is the impetus behind a two-week teaching lab held annually at the University of Michigan's School of Education, where the teacher and her methods are under study by educators, policymakers and others who hope to learn more about what makes a great educator.
Every day for two weeks, a special mathematics class for underperforming upper elementary students from Ypsilanti Public Schools is taught by Deborah Loewenberg Ball, an experienced elementary school teacher who is also dean of the U-M School of Education.
The 2 1/2-hour class is conducted in a format similar to a surgical theater, where Ball performs a live teaching lesson with about two dozen students who have been asked to solve math problems individually and as a group.
Cameras tape the experience and microphones record student answers and Ball's techniques. A short distance away, adults watch, take notes and study Ball as she engages children in math. Continue reading…
