Let $G$ be any countable discrete group, and $H_1, H_2$ be two subgroups of $G$ with some fixed finite index $m>1$.
My question is:
Is it always possible to find some automorphism $\phi$ of $G$, i.e., $\phi\in Aut(G)$, such that $\phi(H_1)=H_2$?
If not, could any one give some counterexample to illustrate this? Thanks in advance!

Nope: let $G=C_4\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$, where $C_4$ is the cyclic group of order $4$ and $V_4$ is the Klein $4$-group. Let $H_1=C_4\times\{e\}\times\mathbb Z$ and $H_2=\{e\}\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$. Both subgroups have index $4$, but they aren't isomorphic.

So we can take two non-isomorphic finite groups $G_1, G_2$, of the same order $n$S and a take an infinite group $H$, and consider $G=H\times G_1\times G_2$. Then $H_1=G\times G_1, H_2=G\times G_2$ may work generalizing your idea. – P Vanchinathan Mar 21 at 1:15
_USER_ It depends. Using your notation, if $H$ is a direct sum of countably many copies of $G_1\times G_2$, then $G_1\times H$ is isomorphic to $G_2\times H$ after all. In my example, there is no such accidental isomorphism, since $C_4\times\{e\}\times\mathbb Z$ has an element of order $4$, and $\{e\}\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$ doesn't. – Chris Culter Mar 21 at 1:25
The dihedral group of order 8 has a subgroup isomorphic to the cyclic group of order 4, and has a subroup isomorphic to the Klein group. Both subgroups have index 2 but are non-isomorphic since the first has an element of order 4 but the second does not. No smaller order group G can be found as a counterexample since a nontrivial subgroup of such a G would have order 2 or order 3.

Dihedral group G of order 8 also has two subgroups of order 2 with no automorphism of G taking one to the other (take one central, and one not). – Jack Schmidt Mar 21 at 1:57
Take $m\mathbf{Z}, n\mathbf{Z}\subset \mathbf{Z}$. As isomorphisms have to send generator to generator we get conflicting requirement $\phi(1)=\pm1, \phi(m)= \pm n $. So your question has a negative answer.

They don't have the same index though – Bruno Joyal Mar 21 at 1:05
OOps, I looked at the title and was misled. My answer is incorrect. – P Vanchinathan Mar 21 at 1:11

CCP Its Time - Structure Changes for the Overview
I really really like a lot of things about the new structures (i.e. Citadels and Engineering Complexes).
Look at the image above. Prior to Citadels, there were two dockable celestials on my overview. Upwell structures appear on the overview if you have permission to dock at them OR you are on the same space grid with them. But in both cases they look on the same on the overview so you can get into the situation where two structures are on the overview and one you can dock at and one you can't and you need to look at the name and know which is which or you need to warp to each one and see what happens.
On top of that, even if every structure on the overview are ones you have access to, there is no easy way to distinguish at a glace or with a tab preset any of them of the same size in any manner except reading the names. For example, look again at the image above and find the Astrahus owned by my corporation Aideron Robotics. While its easy to distinguish the Azbel and Fortizar from the Raitaru and Astrahuses, one needs to scan every one of the former and know the name to find the Kirith's Grand Emproium Astrahus. And to complicate matters every structure automatically gets the system name pre-pended so you can't even scan the column's first letter/word easily. There has to be a better way.
I have several proposals.
1. Apply corporate standings tags to structures just like we do to pilots in the overview. This would quickly distinguish corporate structures from alliance structure from friendly structures from neutral and hostile ones. Yes, this does not mean you have access to docking at that structure but it would simply looking at a glance on the overview. And besides, someone blue on the overview doesn't mean that they won't shoot you either.
2. Indicate accessibility in a new column. Either a new overlay icon on the regular icon (like a tiny green check mark) or a new column (with check mark). This would be an optional column and could be placed anywhere is the column order.
3. Grey out structures not accessible when on grid with them. Yes, you can see them and everything, but some sort of indication that they are not accessible would simplify life immensely.
4. Provide option to see ALL structures in overview. Right now you jump into a system there is a second you see all structures before the ones you don't have access too and are not on grid get greyed out and removed from overview. It would be nice for scouting purposes (and home defense) to be able to bring them up.
CCP its time - make the overview great again!
1 comment:
 1. Let me get in with the default response question that comes to mind: was the overview ever great in the first place?
 But good suggestions. So presumably with the patch after the next one some of these suggestiosn will be implemented by a dev with 5 minutes of spare time.

A full 15-Day free trial of this graphic software. No credit card required.
DXF is short for Drawing Interchange Format or Drawing Exchange Format. Commonly known as AutoCAD DXF format, is a CAD data file format. It was developed by Autodesk to enable data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs. DXF file format was first introduced in 1982. The key purpose of this format was to produce the exact representation of AutoCAD native DWG files on other applications. For many years, the importing process of DXF files had been very difficult because of the unavailability of specifications of the format. Presently the format specifications are available as PDF but this format is rarely used in AutoCAD applications.
We designed CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to open a wide range of file format, including all of the following:

What is a triple column cash book and explain its format?
Triple column cash books have three columns on both the debit and credit side of the cash book. These cash books record cash transactions, bank transactions and discounts. Both cash and bank transactions of column cash books are balanced and totaled periodically; discount column of triple column cash books is only totaled, but not balanced.
Separate accounts are maintained in the general ledger for discount allowed and received. Discount column on the debit side represents a discount given to customers during a period.
Discount allowed is an expense and this column on the credit side represents discount from suppliers during a period. Discount received is income.
The format of triple column cash book is as follows −
Date − Records transaction date.

Release of coumarin incorporated into chitosan-gelatin irradiated films
Abstract : Chitosan and fish gelatin were used to formulate active biobased films containing an antioxidant (coumarin). After drying, the films were irradiated at 40 and 60 kGy using an electron beam accelerator. The effect of irradiation on the film properties as well as the coumarin release mechanism were investigated and compared with the control. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) revealed free radical formation during irradiation in films containing coumarin. Antioxidant addition and/or irradiation treatment at a dose of 60 kGy resulted in a shift of amide A and amide B peaks. Furthermore a shift of amide II band was only observed for the control film at the same dose. Irradiation allowed improving the thermal stability of the control films. Both irradiation process and addition of coumarin increased the surface wettability (increase of the polar component of the surface tension). From the water barrier analysis, neither irradiation nor coumarin addition influenced the permeability at the lower RH gradient used (0-30% RH). Using the higher RH gradient (30-84%) induced a rise of the WVP of all films (containing or not coumarin) after irradiation treatment. At 60 kGy, the tensile strength of only the control films increased significantly. Considering coumarin release from the film in aqueous medium, the apparent diffusion coefficient of coumarin is two times reduced after irradiation. Irradiation also allowed to better protect the incorporated antioxidant. Indeed, the amount of coumarin in the non-irradiated film was significantly lowered compared to the initial quantity, which is probably due to chemical reactivity.

Math 9 Tutoring in Markham
Grade 9 and 10 math is a large leap from elementary school math, especially for those who scored 75% or lower. Many new math concepts are introduced, such as linear equations, quadratics and geometry.
Common challenges in Grade 9 and 10 math include thinking problems and word problems. Students need to strengthen their foundational skills to succeed in Grade 9 and 10, especially if they have gaps in their Grade 8 and 9 learning. Such gaps include integers, fractions, and linear equations. Students must work diligently in these areas in order to proceed on to Grade 11 math successfully.
The major concern for math is that it is cumulative. Each math grade level is a building block to the next, and without a strong knowledge of previous math concepts, students will struggle. For example, math tests often check for understanding of previous math concepts in most steps of the questions asked.
At QEA, we focus on building the student's math foundations for their long term success. Since QEA is an inspected school under the Ministry of Education, we have in-depth knowledge of the math curriculum and how each math building block leads to the next. Through easy-to-understand lessons and step-by-step explanations, most of our students progress well in math and develop a passion for it.

The poisonous element, once used in embalming fluids, could be contaminating drinking water as corpses rot
Live near a cemetery? Better check your drinking water. (The Brett Weston Archive/CORBIS)
If you live near a Civil War-era cemetery, rotting corpses may be on the attack. While there's no need to fear the walking dead, homeowners should watch out for toxins leaking out of old graves that could be contaminating drinking water and causing serious health problems.
When someone died at the turn of the century, it was common practice to bring a photographer in to take death photos. Also, the people who fought and died in the Civil War came from all over the United States, and families who wanted to bury their kin would pay to have them shipped home.
At the time, ice was the only option to preserve a body, but that didn't work very well—and no one wants to see a deceased relative partially decomposed.
"We're talking about the 1800s, so how do you freeze [the bodies] and keep them frozen if they take weeks to transport?" says Jana Olivier, an environmental scientist and professor-emeritus at the University of South Africa.
Thus, embalming in the U.S. became a booming industry during the Civil War era. People willing to try their hand at embalming spent their time following the military from combat zone to combat zone.
"Embalmers flocked to battlefields to embalm whoever could afford it and send them home," said Mike Mathews, a mortuary scientist at the University of Minnesota.
An embalming surgeon is seen at work on a Civil War soldier's body sometime in the early 1860s. (Corbis)
Embalming fluid is effective, but it's also nasty stuff. Many early recipes for embalming fluid were jealously guarded by morticians because some worked so much better than others, but most commonly contained arsenic, Mathews adds.
One popular formula "contained about four ounces of arsenious acid per gallon of water, and up to 12 pounds of non-degradable arsenic was sometimes used per body," according to the 5th Street Cemetery Necrogeological Study.
Arsenic kills the bacteria that make corpses stinky—if you've ever smelled bad meat, you can imagine how important it is for embalming fluid to do its thing and do it well. But the poisonous element doesn't degrade, so when embalmed bodies rot in the ground, arsenic gets deposited into the soil.
"A Civil War-era cemetery filled with plenty of graves—things seldom stay where you want them to," says Benjamin Bostick, a geochemist at Columbia University. "As the body is becoming soil, the arsenic is being added to the soil." From there, rainwater and flooding can wash arsenic into the water table.
That means old cemeteries full of deceased soldiers and civilians present a real problem for today's homeowners. The federal government says it's only safe for us to drink water with 10 parts per billion of arsenic or less. But in 2002, a USGS-sponsored survey in Iowa City found arsenic levels at three times the federal limit near an old cemetery.
"When you have this big mass of arsenic, there's enough to affect literally millions of liters of water at least a little bit," Bostick says.
Soldiers bury Union dead who fell near Fredericksburg, Virginia, during the 1863 Chancellorsville Campaign. (Medford Historical Society Collection/CORBIS)
If humans ingest the contaminated water, it can cause significant health problems over time. Arsenic is a carcinogen that's associated with skin, lung, bladder and liver cancers, says Joseph Graziano, an environmental health scientist at Columbia University. Drinking arsenic-contaminated water has also been linked to cardiovascular disease, lung disease and cognitive deficits in children.
The good news is that arsenic was banned from embalming fluid in the early 1900s. It was causing health problems for medical students who were operating on embalmed cadavers. Also, the presence of so much arsenic made murder investigations almost impossible. Police couldn't distinguish between embalming fluid arsenic and cases of murder by arsenic poisoning.
"The state stepped in and said [morticians] couldn't use arsenic anymore. Boy, they outlawed it real quick," Mathews says. Now, morticians use a combination of gluteraldehyde and formaldehyde—both chemicals that sterilize—to embalm bodies for open caskets, he adds. These chemicals evaporate away before they pose a risk to the water table.
But if you live near an old cemetery, you should get your well water checked for arsenic and other contaminants every few years, Mathews advises.
"Sadly, much of the population today isn't aware of the hazard that arsenic poses," Graziano says. "Any homeowner should be testing their well water frequently. We need to be vigilant about hazards from drinking water."

When standard lens solution are not providing the optimal field of view at the desired working distance, lens adapters can be used. On the bottom there is an explanation how lens adapters work.
C/CS mount to M12 adapters
The C or CS mount to M12 lens adapters are used to mount M12 lenses on a C-mount or CS-mount camera. M12 lenses are cheaper, compacter and have less weight. In some applications there parameters are critical. Without this adapter it's not possible to mount a M12 lens on a C or CS-mount industrial camera.
M12 or C-mount extension rings
Extensionrings are used to shorten the minimum working distance of a C-mount or M12 lens. Most industrial lenses have a working distance of 100mm or higher. By adding extension rings, this distance can be reduced. When reducing the working distance, the depth of field is also reduced. Adding extension rings willl reduce the optical performance of the lens and the light sensitivity. Therefore M12 or C-mount extension rings are only used in specific industrial applications.
Focal length extender
With a focal length extender you can extend the focal length of the lens by a factor 2 or 4. By using this focal length extender in combination with a 35 or 50 or 75mm c-mount lens you can make focal lenghts of 70mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm and 300mm.


UK copyright tweak in June will finally allow ripping of CDs
Three years after copyright review recommended changes to the law to allow format-shifting for CDs and ebooks, the 1988 law will get an update to allow it
The 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act was passed in the same year as Prince's Lovesexy album was released.
Fifteen years after the first MP3 players went on sale in the UK, it will soon be legal to copy music you've bought on to them from a CD you own.
Updates to the UK's copyright laws mean that from June, "ripping" CDs and putting them on to portable players like Apple's iPod will no longer be against the strict letter of the law.
But it doesn't appear to allow people to create digital backups of DVDs - unless they can show that the copyright protection being used on them is "too restrictive" in a complaint to the secretary of state, a position presently held by Maria Miller.
"The law [on exceptions] is changing in a number of small but important ways, to make our copyright system better suited to the digital age," the UK's Intellectual Property Office says in a new advisory (PDF). "These changes will affect how you can use content like books, music, films and photographs."
Under the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, it is not in fact legal to transform a piece of copyrighted content from one storage form to another - so turning a CD, which is encoded in one method, into a file formatted as MP3 or Windows Media Audio or AAC and storing it on a computer hard drive or digital music player is, strictly, against the law.
Record labels have known about this for years - but have turned a blind eye, because prosecuting everyone who bought a music player or transferred files to their phone would be both ruinously expensive and terrible publicity.
But, the IPO guidance points out, "it will still be illegal to make copies for friends or family, or to make a copy of something you do not own or have acquired illegally, without the copyright owner's permission. So you will not be able to make copies of CDs for your friends, to copy CDs borrowed from friends, or to copy videos illegally downloaded from file-sharing websites."
In a Q&A section, it points out that making copies of content "for family at home" is already illegal - and that there are no plans to change it.
If you give away or sell a CD that you have backed up, you'll have to destroy the backup copy to stay within the law, the guidance notes.
The law is also changing to allow quotations to be taken from works and used in others for purposes other than "criticism, review or news reporting", previously the only justifications allowed for using them. The growing use of quotations from works on blogs and other formats has driven a shift under which their use will be legal as long as the quote is not excessively long – known as "fair dealing".
Precisely how much or little constitutes "fair dealing" is determined by courts on a case-by-case basis because it varies so widely: using three lines of an eight-line poem might arguably cross the line, but the use of three lines from a 10,000 page book would be unlikely to.
The changes follow the Hargreaves review, which reported to the government in May 2011, recommending the tweaks to copyright law and noting that the law "has started to act as a regulatory barrier to the creation of certain kinds of new, internet-based businesses".
The EU had already sanctioned such format-shifting, Hargreaves noted, and yet the UK government had not taken advantage of them, even though they would bring "important cultural as well as economic benefits to the UK".

Scapulation dumping refers to the process of dumping scapula's. Little is known about Scapula's (from the latin word Scapulaiincredabilous) except that they are found at incredible depths within the worlds oceans. It is within their home environment that they creep and crawl over the ocean floors gathering the bubbles from shark farts.
Deep sea trawlers net the scapulas, extract the shark farts and encapsulate them in a vat of spirits which are ultimately sold to the manufacturers of spirit levels and used for the bubbles found within those levels.
Extreme caution must be applied throughout the action to avoid the shark farts entering the seamen's blood stream and causing "the bends".
The Scapula's are not harmed during the process and are dumped back into the sea once their valuable cargo's are extracted hence the expression "scapulation dumping".

Shoot Or Don't Shoot? This Is The Question
The Two Mind Boggling Questions
What If You Draw Your Concealed Carry Weapon Without Shooting It?
When Can You Draw Your Concealed Carry Handgun?
You must always remember that you may only draw and fire your concealed weapon to protect a person or yourself from immediate death or great bodily harm. If your incident does not prove this, then you could be possibly charged with brandishing of firearm or charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

 - In your second to last paragraph, you refer to "banishing of firearm". I assume it was a typo and you really mean "brandishing". In that context, here is some information that may be of interest to you.
 Dreamed up and first enacted in Montana, "Defensive Display" has been drafted, introduced and pushed through by the Arizona Citizens Defense League (with help from the NRA and the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Assn.). A citizen now has robust protection for using a firearm in self defense without actually firing it. Previously, a threat or motion to produce a firearm, even when threatened by an attacker, could lead to assault charges against the innocent gun owner. Now, to balance that out, a specific law justifies the threat or reach for a gun in self defense. Elegant, simple, fair.
 A.R.S. §13-421. Justification; defensive display of a firearm; definition
 (SB 1243, enacted July 13, 2009, effective Sep. 30, 2009.)
 A. The defensive display of a firearm by a person against another is justified when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the use or attempted use of unlawful physical force or deadly physical force.
 B. This section does not apply to a person who:
 1. Intentionally provokes another person to use or attempt to use unlawful physical force.
 2. Uses a firearm during the commission of a serious offense as defined in section 13-706 or violent crime as defined in section 13-901.03.
 C. This section does not require the defensive display of a firearm before the use of physical force or the threat of physical force by a person who is otherwise justified in the use or threatened use of physical force.
 D. For the purposes of this section, "defensive display of a firearm" includes:
 1. Verbally informing another person that the person possesses or has available a firearm.
 2. Exposing or displaying a firearm in a manner that a reasonable person would understand was meant to protect the person against another's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force or deadly physical force.
 3. Placing the person's hand on a firearm while the firearm is contained in a pocket, purse or other means of containment or transport.
 - Brandishing is usually a bad idea. Know of the scene in Get Shorty where tuff guy shows his 357 stuck in his belt and the other tuff guy kills him in hail of bullets from his 9mm.
 If bad to think your life in danger to use deadly force, drawing firearm should be taken into account and not be brandishing. 2nd prob is: once drawn: now what? If BG or obnoxious brother in law doesn't skat, are you up and legally clear for using DF or hope he doesn't take firearm from you and do a nasty to you?
 - Great article….good reminder.
 (Everyone, myself included, has a love/hate relationship with Spellcheck, but it appears that spellcheck may have gotten the author, in one of the last sentences…. I'm pretty sure that you/he meant "brandishing" (to show) a weapon, not banishing…) it was such a good article/reminder, it seemed worth correcting, before it gets posted and reposted around the web.
 - JEEZUS Flucking Christ, MIKAL! (oops don't miss that spelling typo) What fucking Grammar NAZI troll farm did you come out of (oops again, ended a sentence with a preposition, naughty naughty!)
 But you do get the meaning, of what i'm trying to say here, don't you? Having an obsessive compulsive anal retentive obsession with noticing spelling and grammar diminishes your comprehension ability to discern the essence of the important information from an author who probably types faster than your mind can think.
 - Bad advice. Just because this cop is a "Southern Gentleman" who believes "a man's word is his bond" doesn't mean they all do. Lawyers, DAs and even cops will all tell you DON'T TALK TO THE COPS! See this 3 part video to start the conversation from a lawyer/former DA/ law professor: _URL_
 and this one from a cop: _URL_
 - Correct. NEVAAH…as they say down south, start to explain what happened at the scene to the responding officers. Obey his commands but if She starts to interrogate you in any way other than asking for your ID, which you give to the officer, and simply respond with, I feel very sick at the moment, think I shit in my pants. I can't even think right now. I just need to call someone to come help me pull myself together before I do anything else.'
 If they insist on taking you in to the station, then keep your trap shut (they call your mouth a 'trap' because you will Always get 'trapped in trouble' everytime you open it.) and wait politely but quietly until you get your lawyer present before answering ANY questions relating to what happened. PERIOD!
 If the officer doesn't stop interrogating you after that, clam up completely if they won't let you leave
 - It's because of our corrupt govt, that our rights have become so misconstrued and unrecognizable….this is the 2nd Amendment to the "Bill of Rights";
 This is an inherent right, to have the ability to protect ourselves, IT IS A RIGHT!!!, not a privilege given to you by govt, which at any time they could take away for any reason. BTW, your rights, can never be taken away, sold, bought for any price, bartered for, traded, exchanged, nor can they be infringed upon by ANY entity of govt or otherwise authoritative figure….they are your rights and you or anyone else does not have to ask permission to exercise them….no permits, no license….nothing….you/we are all suppose to be free and freedom loving people. When you take that license, permit and anything else that has to ask or have permission of authority or govt, you then do not have any rights, and you're not suppose to give them away to/or for anyone or anything….period, end of story…
 - Andrew,
 You are 100% right! The first ten amendments to our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, are unalienable or inherent rights and none of them can be taken away, voted away, reduced nor repealed. This is despite what many Democrats fantasize about doing in regard to our Second Amendment. These rights and not given nor granted to us as citizens by our government. In fact, the Founders repeatedly state this in their letters and the Federalist Papers. They clearly defined the Second Amendment as a way of protecting the other Amendments and thus the People from the Government.
 - I agree with your sentiments completely. The only problem is government and politicians keep taking bits and pieces and placing more limitations and requirements on this right and no one is standing up to them and telling them to stop; they allow this infringement by their silence and inaction. When others are willing to stand up with us and take this right back fully and completely all you are spouting is meaningless hyperbole.
 - Eagle Scout and ex cop should know the difference between the words brandishing and banishing, and when it is proper to use which word.
 - This is the most sticky, iffy areas today. Anyone watching the news knows George Zimmerman, Officer Wilson, Offer Slager and others. Slager is charged with Murder, the other two lives never the same. Few jurors ever experience Adrenal Dump. Those who have, even cops, may not know what it was or why what they believe they saw or heard is not factual. In a trial, need an expert to explain what most don't have a clue. Would like to see this explored.
 - It is vital that you be the first person to call 911; briefly explain an ambulance is required because you were attacked and you had to shoot to protect your life. If a bystander calls 911 and erroneously describes the scene as you being the bad guy, the dispatcher will relay that information to the responding LEO, who can also put your life in danger. Do not have anything in your hands when the LEO arrives – no gun, no phone, no license. The only exception would be if the aggressor is conscious and his gun is within reach.
 Toward the end of this article a photo shows the back of a person who has drawn his gun, which is pointing down by his knee, but he already has his finger in the trigger guard. This is a safety violation that should never happen if the person has been properly trained.

Using advanced statistical analyses of existing online learning data from the SUNY Learning Network, UA/UB will draw insights to develop a new introductory course for Teaching Online in three research-based online modules. We will collect and analyze data evaluating their learning and following enrollees into their first online teaching, supporting them and measuring course effectiveness. This longitudinal study of SUNY online learning will create evidence-based feedback for improving module quality, leading to signature Models of Online SUNY Teaching (MOST!). This evaluation process will be used in additional 1-cr-hr research-based modules created and offered by UA/UB, targeting emerging needs of SUNY online teaching faculty. SUNY faculty taking the initial module will receive a 3-cr-hr head start for UA/UB online certificates in online education. The required capstone inquiry project would direct research on the impact of SUNY MOST on subsequent students, creating sustainable inquiry to generate ongoing improvements.
Curriculum design, teacher education pedagogy and cognitive science reviewed for modules development, along with instructor guides and course materials. Beta release of 2 week, 1 credit courses targeted for spring 2016.

WotC Now Exploiting People Less?
WotC are a smart bunch of people who got rich with Magic: The Gathering. But it wasn't the brilliance of the game's design that got them rich. It was how they sold it.
Magic: The Gathering should of been called Crack: The Gathering but not because of its addictive game play. The addiction is in buying the packs not playing with them, a situation that WotC are more than happy with. Cards were rated as to their rarity (common, uncommon, and rare) and each booster pack had a random selection of fifteen cards. This turned the act of buying a pack from a simple transaction in to a gamble. Every purchase brought a thrill of anticipation. To the new fan this anticipation was strongly rewarded as each pack always contained new cards but the experienced players had to keep buying more and more packs to find the cards they didn't have. Just like a drug addict needing more and more drugs to reach the same high.
In psychological terms, WotC were training their customers with operant conditioning using a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement. In English, this means that the behaviour of buying a pack of cards is reinforced by sometimes rewarding the purchaser with a rare card.
Pigeon reading a book
This behaviour was first observed in pigeons by B. F. Skinner. In a simple experiment he placed three pigeons in three separate boxes and each box had a lever for the pigeons to pull. In the first box, pulling the lever always resulted in a pellet of food being supplied and quickly the pigeon learnt to pull the lever when it was hungry. In the second box, the lever did nothing and pigeon soon learnt to ignore it. But in the third box, the lever sometimes delivered a food pellet and sometimes didn't. This pigeon constantly pulled the lever even when it wasn't hungry because it was addicted to the potential reward. It was so addicted that when the lever was changed so that it never gave out food, the pigeon would exhaust itself to death by continually pulling the lever even though no food was coming out of it.
Magic: The Gathering uses exactly the same technique to train its customer to buy more packs. So clearly there isn't much difference between a pigeon and a MTG player.
WotC have used this technique repeatedly in different products including the range of D&D Miniatures. Up until now, the minis have come in random packs with the customer having no idea what they are buying other than a pre-defined ratio of common and rare figures. However they are changing and Critical Hits were first with the news that packs are now being themed between heroes and monsters. There will still be a random selection but hero packs will only contain heroes and monster packs only have monsters.
Does this signify that treating D&D players like pigeons hasn't worked? No. This is just means that WotC are now supplying two levers for the pigeon to pull. Whether a pigeon uses one or the other or both the levers, it doesn't matter, they are still addicted. However I think this move does signify that D&D Miniatures are not that successful.
Why Magic: The Gathering became the huge success it did was more than just how it was sold. The game was good enough that people who avoided the buying-addiction still brought cards so that they could play the game. It was also the right product at the right time. A stroke of luck that cannot be repeated. With miniatures, it is a different story. D&D Miniatures simply is not that good a game. The uses of the D&D brand probably hurts sales as much as it helps them because it carries so much baggage. And they are expensive. A Magic booster pack costs about £2 for 15 cards where as minis cost about £8 for five.
In setting up 6d6 Fireball to sell fantasy miniatures Rob & I were adamant that we should be ethical. We have both spent too long working for companies we did not respect because of the way they treated their customers. This is why we don't do random packs and why the pictures on the web site show the figures exactly* what you will receive.
WotC focus is making money and that is a good and honourable thing to be doing. But using exploitative marketing techniques such as random packs is a step too far. 6d6 Fireball wants you to buy our products because we make a good product. WotC just wants your money.
*We do clean the figures and apply a thin coat of boot polish to ensure you can see all the detail.

Chilled, from the farm to the factory
During milking the milk still has the same temperature as the cow. In many countries the milk is then chilled as quickly as possible and disappears directly into a milk cooling tank.
Some dairy farmers transport the warm milk to the milk cooling tank through pipes that lie against pipes filled with cold water. In this way, the milk already cools down en route and the water is warmed up. The warmed water is heated further and used to clean the milking equipment.
The milk cooling tank stirs the milk and keeps it chilled at about 4 °C.
In many countries working with milk cooling tanks is subject to regulations. All milk cooling tanks are fitted with monitoring equipment. If the cooling or cleaning system is not working properly, an alarm goes off.
Immediately after the milk truck has collected the milk from the dairy farmer, the inside of the milk cooling tank is thoroughly cleaned.
The tank of the milk truck is insulated, ensuring that the milk is still chilled when it reaches the dairy plant. There, the raw milk is processed further and its shelf life is extended, for instance by heating.

Medieval Baths of Bukhara
Medieval Baths, Bukhara
The traditions of the eastern hammam baths originated in antiquity, in the 7th century, when the first bath houses appeared. The steam bath tradition came to Central Asia from the Arabs, and they, in turn, took over her among the Romans. The spread of hammams in Asia went in parallel with Islam. In the khan's palaces, the baths "Hammam Hon" were necessarily built. There were special courtiers serving these premises. But the baths should have been popularly accessible, because for Muslims, "purity is half the faith," as the prophet Muhammad himself said. Therefore, starting from the 10th century, bath rooms have become an integral part of urban planning. Baths were usually part of bazaar complexes or housed in public buildings located in the city center.
Baths were divided into city and quarter, as well as male and female. City-wide baths were built near bazaars, in the most crowded places. According to the records of the ancient historian Narshakhi dating back to the 10th century, several city-wide bathing establishments already existed in Bukhara. Visiting baths became a favorite form of relaxation for citizens. It is known that in the 19th century 16 hamams acted in the city.
The two oldest baths (XVI-XVII centuries) and the most famous baths in Bukhara - the Bozori Kord male bathhouse and the Hammami Kunjak female bathhouse are still operating today. Bozori Kord is located next to the Taki-Telpak-Furushon shopping dome, and Hammami Kunjak is very close to the Kalyan Minaret. These, like other similar rooms, are heated using boilers with boiling water located under the floor. Steam from the boiler is fed into the steam room through a special hole. Bukhara baths in terms of technical structure represented undoubted progress in those days, but even today they function successfully, as they did five hundred years ago. In addition to relaxation and bathing, they provide various types of massage services, including therapeutic and relaxing. A visit to the Bukhara bath hammam will leave a lasting impression and will be useful for the soul and body.

Recurrences of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following curative surgery are uncommon among patients with low-risk compared with intermediateor high-risk disease, researchers reported at the 2017 congress of the European Association of Urology in London. The percentage of potentially curable recurrences, however, is similar for all 3 risk groups.
Using the RECUR database, Saeed Dabestani, MD, of Lund University in Malmö, Sweden, and colleagues examined RCC recurrence patterns and management. The researchers assessed 1266 patients (mean age 65 years) who underwent surgery for localized RCC. After a median follow-up of 61.2 months, 252 patients (19.9%) experienced recurrence. In 119 cases (47.2%), the recurrence was potentially curable. Isolated local, solitary and oligometastatic (3 or fewer lesions at a single site) recurrences were considered curable by local therapeutic strategies.
The 5-year risk of recurrence for lowintermediate- and high-risk patients was 4.8%, 18.1%, and 46.3%, respectively, and the percentage of recurrences that were potentially curable was 51.6%, 50.7%, and 42.8%, respectively, Dr Dabestani's group reported in a poster presentation. The median time to recurrence was 41.6, 25.5, and 14.3 months, respectively. The time to recurrence was 23.8 months for potentially curable recurrences compared with 17.7 months for incurable patients. Curative intent treatment for recurrence was offered to 34.1%, 30.1%, 16.7% of patients in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, according to the researchers.
"More effort should perhaps be put into detecting recurrence in the intermediate and high risk groups as they harbor more patients with recurrences that are potentially curable," the investigators concluded.

Last spring, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department put on a wonderful program that reached out to two schools in the El Paso area. A total of 77 participants from Americas High school and their feeder school, Vista Del Sol, were involved in the very first "Celebrate Urban Birds!" event. The students arrived to Franklin Mountains State Park and spent the morning learning how to use the binoculars to identify birds, hiking, identifying bird calls, learning bird anatomy, and discussing the importance of citizen science!
Each high schooler was paired with a younger "buddy" for the day from the elementary school and served as a mentor. The high schoolers guided their buddies through a fun, hands-on activity that allowed the students to get creative back at the high school. They each received a planter to decorate and seeds to plant that would serve as food sources for birds and butterflies. The idea behind the activity was to teach about the importance of creating "green spaces" to provide habitats for birds and other wildlife in urban environments. The busy day ended with data collection as part of a citizen science activity, where students tallied the number of birds observed within a given area during a set time period.
Both the mentors and their buddies went home happy at the end of the day! One of the teachers, Neysa Hardin commented on the success of the event:
"Thank you to Cesar, Adrianna, and John at Franklin Mountains State Park. The students had an incredible day! My high school students said that this was one of their best experiences ever. Not only did they learn about our local urban birds, but they also enjoyed being mentors for the day! The elementary students told their librarian that they can't wait to visit the park again with their high school buddies. We look forward to partnering up again! Thank you a million times for this unique experience."
This tremendous event has had a great impact on both the participants and the surrounding community. Through this event, the students have been able to gain awareness and appreciation for birds and nature in their very own backyard. The high school students stepped up to their roles as mentors and really made an effort to be engaged and supportive throughout the activities. The relationships strengthened between the schools and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department have also been incredible! By holding activities in both the high school and state park, a bridge between the "wild" and the "urban" was formed, making connections between both habitats.
A huge thank you to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for putting on a magnificent event!!

Safe Gluing and Opening
With the UGB ultrasonic sensor for splice monitoring
Vacuum packages are frequently used to store coffee. To increase the customers' benefit, the outer package of vacuum-packed coffee has a tear strip. The tear strip is glued onto the back of the printed paper by the coffee producer. This process must be monitored to ensure that all papers have a tear strip.
Depending on the coffee type, the color, thickness and texture of the packaging paper types may vary. The tear strip may be of different colors as well. Until now, sensors that were used to monitor splices had to be adjusted extensively after each paper change. In addition, the reliability of the monitoring process was unsatisfactory.
Fig. 1: UGB transmitter above the packaging paper
The UGB ultrasonic splice detection sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs is the solution! This ultrasonic sensor ignores the paper color and texture. With the electrical TEACH-IN input, it is easy to adjust to new paper types and, monitoring 100 packages per minute, the sensor enables very short processing times.
Fig. 2: UGB transmitter below the packaging paper
Here, the packaging paper passes over a 30 mm hole in the sheet metal. The ultrasonic transmitter sends its signals to the ultrasonic receiver through the hole and accurately detects the paper.
Customer benefits
The UGB ultrasonic sensor features high reliability, few adjustments during paper changes and low processing times. The MH-UDB1 assembly aid eliminates installation errors and ensures safe splice monitoring.

The Sri Lankan Advanced Level (A-level), is a General Certificate of Education (GCE) qualification exam in Sri Lanka, similar to the British Advanced Level, conducted annually by the Department of Examinations of the Ministry of Education. It is usually taken by students during the optional final two years of collegiate level (Grade 12 and 13), after they have completed GCE Ordinary Level exams. The qualification also serves as an entrance requirement for Sri Lankan state universities. The exams are held in three mediums: Sinhala, Tamil and English.
The candidates are expected to study for 2 years at collegiate level before taking the examination. The examination diversifies over 5 major fields of study:
- Physical Science stream (Combined mathematics, Physics and Chemistry or information technology )
- Biological Science stream (Biology (Botany and Zoology), Physics or Agricultural Science and Chemistry)
- Commerce stream
- Arts stream
- Technology stream (Engineering Technology)
- Technology stream (Bio-system Technology)
In each stream, candidates are expected to face 3 subjects related to the specific stream. Additionally, there would be a General English test and a Common General test. Although the result of the General English test is not taken into account for the University Entrance selection criteria, candidates are expected to obtain a pass mark for the Common General test.
At Zahira College, Technology stream and agricultural science is not currently offered but Vocational stream is offered.

How can I reduce TinyPilot's latency?
On a well-provisioned local network, TinyPilot achieves 100-200 milliseconds of latency on its video stream. On slower networks or across the Internet, you may experience higher latency. This article includes steps you can take to reduce TinyPilot's latency.
Why does latency increase?
To stream video, TinyPilot uses the MJPEG streaming format. This protocol achieves low latency, but it consumes significant bandwidth.
Reducing TinyPilot's bandwidth and latency
To reduce TinyPilot's bandwidth usage, you can tune its video streaming settings. From the main menu, select System > Video Settings.
Screenshot of TinyPilot navigation bar selecting Video Settings
Adjust the frames per second (FPS) and video quality settings and apply them to test the latency under the new settings. Latency will reduce as you lower the FPS and JPEG quality.
Screenshot of TinyPilot Video Settings dialog
Experiment with different settings until you've found the right balance of video quality for your network connection.


V2 Vocabulary Building Dictionary
Definition: gloomy or having a generally downcast personality
Synonyms: gloomy, sullen, depressed, melancholy, moody, sulky
Antonyms: cheerful, upbeat
Tips: Morose can refer to a specific gloomy mood, but it more often refers to someone who is unhappy and sullen in general. Morose is related to sullen. When you refuse to speak to or acknowledge someone because you are irritated or in a bad mood, you're being sullen. Morose refers more to being withdrawn, depressed, bitter and gloomy. For a memory trick, note how morose sounds like "more rose" or "no rose." Now, think of providing someone with "more roses" to cheer them up if they are morose. Or consider that someone who is morose may have received "no roses" in his or her life and that is why they are morose.
Usage Examples:
A quiet, morose man, he was never close to anyone. (sullen, depressed)
She could tell by his morose expression that he was unwilling to speak with her. (sulky, moody)
She always seems so sad and morose. (depressed, moody)
His morose attitude toward life did not make him popular with his peers. (sullen, melancholy)

When we in NYC talk about 'the Holidays', we mean the period from late November to New Year's Day.
'Holiday' in the singular can refer to anything from Easter to 'Talk Like a Pirate Day', depending on the person.
'Vacation' usually means a trip of at least a week away from your home base. As I understand it, the term came into being during the 19th century. During the hot months, wealthy people would close down their town houses. Women and children would be sent off to cooler, relaxing places such as the Catskills or Eastern end of Long Island. men continued to see to business. During the week they boarded at their Clubs and visited their families on the weekends.
This was the time that major repairs and cleaning could be done to the city house without discomfort to the family. Because the house was vacated. The summer became known as 'Vacation' and the term filtered into general use.

A sample of a bizarre crystal once considered unnatural may have arrived on Earth 15,000 years ago, having hitched a ride on a meteorite, a new study suggests.
The research strengthens the evidence that this strange "quasicrystal" is extraterrestrial in origin.
The pattern of atoms in a quasicrystal falls short of the perfectly regular arrangement found in crystals. Until January, all known quasicrystals were man-made. "Many thought it had to be that way, because they thought quasicrystals are too delicate, too prone to crystallization, to form naturally," study researcher Paul Steinhardt of Princeton University told LiveScience at the time.
Then researchers announced the presence of a natural quasicrystal in a meteorite found in the Koryak Mountains of Russia.. That meteorite was being kept in a museum in Italy. Now, on an expedition to the site where it was found in Russia, Steinhardt and his colleagues now have found more natural samples of quasicrystals for analysis.
Quasicrystals were first synthesized in a lab in 1982 by Israeli chemist Dan Shechtman, whose work won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2011. Regular crystals are made up of regular clusters of repeating atoms arranged in particular symmetries. Quasicrystals are orderly, too, but they do not exactly repeat themselves. If regular crystals are like boring bathroom tiles, quasicrystals are like complex tile mosaics.

What is special about the gene?
THIS EVENT HAS NOW TAKEN PLACE
A one day arts and humanities interdisciplinary symposium
Tuesday 11 September 2007, Cardiff University
- David Amigoni - English literature
- Roberta Bivins - Historian
- Tim Ingold - Anthropologist
- Lenny Moss - Philosopher
- Alison Wray - Linguistic theorist
The gene seems to have captured the public imagination and to exercise a fascination and symbolic influence in many fields outwith the context of its scientific discovery and usage. Like the atom, and a few other scientifically-derived concepts, the gene appears to overflow with secondary metaphors, entailments and projections that have significance for individuals, groups, activities and worldviews well beyond the laboratory bench. Possibly the symbolic traction of this concept/symbol will make it as significant in human social thought, imagination, and development as the notion of evolution itself.
This symposium for 30-40 participants forms part of an ongoing project looking at the symbolic and cultural significance and meanings of the gene and genetics. It aims to harness arts and humanities insights and methods into a dialogue about understanding the significance of the gene. It is also concerned with the impact the gene and genetics might have on the shaping of arts and humanities disciplines and the things that they seek to understand and study.
The six main presenters at this symposium, all leading arts and humanities scholars drawn from a range of disciplines such as literature, history, religious studies, anthropology, linguistics, and philosophy, have been invited, from their own disciplinary perspective, to address the question, What, if anything, is special about the gene? They will do this having regard to the need to take specific examples, and to address an interdisciplinary audience. While humanities academics will be the main presenters, other participants will come from a range of scientific and humanities disciplines to enrich critique and dialogue. Scholars who have so far accepted invitations to make presentations include: Professor Tim Ingold FBA (anthropologist), Professor Alison Wray (linguistic theorist), Professor Lenny Moss (philosopher), Dr Roberta Bivins (historian).
This will be a very exciting and unusual interdisciplinary event, bringing together scholars from all the main humanities disciplines to extend their insights and methods beyond their usual audiences and topics. If you would like to attend, please complete and return the registration form. There is a registration fee of £10 to cover meals and refreshments. The event is subsidised by the School of English, Communication and Philosophy.

Historic buildings helping to cut carbon emissions
25 September 2007
Historic buildings are already helping to reduce Scotland's carbon emissions. That is one of the key messages delivered by Culture Minister Linda Fabiani MSP at the opening of the annual conference of the Historic Environment Advisory Council for Scotland today (Tuesday).
Speaking in Stirling, Ms Fabiani said: "Sustainability is about much more than the energy measured on an electricity meter. We have to think about the energy usage of the whole life of a building and the materials it is constructed from and make sure that the actions we take to control our carbon emissions are sustainable in the long term.
"Recent research shows that older buildings perform very well in energy terms because they have thick walls, smaller windows and passive ventilation systems - all of which contribute to the reduction of emissions."
The Historic Environment Advisory Council for Scotland provides independent strategic advice to Scottish Ministers on issues affecting the historic environment.
Ms Fabiani continued: "Climate change is a reality we can no longer ignore. The Scottish Government is committed to taking action to enforce reductions in carbon emissions. We are also determined to think creatively about the small changes that can make a big difference."
The Minister also set out the areas that the advisory council would be reviewing in the coming year. It will provide advice on:
·the economic impact of the historic environment;
·the conservation of the ecclesiastical heritage;
·engaging young adults with the historic environment;
·and the infrastructure of the historic environment

The earliest lamps were used by Greek and Roman civilizations, where light primarily served the purpose of security, both to protect the wanderer from tripping over something on the path as well as keeping the potential robbers at bay. At that time oil lamps were used predominantly as they provided a long-lasting and moderate flame. The Romans had a word 'laternarius', which was a term for a slave responsible for lighting up the oil lamps in front of their villas. This task continued to be kept for a special person as far as up to Middle Ages where the so-called 'link boys' escorted people from one place to another through the murky winding streets of medieval towns.
Before incandescent lamps, candle lighting was employed in cities. The earliest lamps required that a lamplighter tour the town at dusk, lighting each of the lamps, but later designs employed ignition devices that would automatically strike the flame when the gas supply was activated. The earliest of such street lamps wer

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, inherited and somatically acquired, are common in clinical prostate cancer. We have developed model systems designed to study specific mtDNA mutations in controlled experiments. Because prostate cancer frequently metastasizes to bone we tested the hypothesis that mtDNA mutations enhance prostate cancer growth and survival in the bone microenvironment. METHODS. The pathogenic nucleotide position (np) 8993 mDNA mutation was introduced into PC3 prostate cancer cells by cybrid formation. Wild-type and mutant cybrids were grown as nude mouse subcutaneous xenografts with or without bone stromal cell co-inoculation. Cybrids were also grown in the intratibial space. Tumor growth was assayed by direct tumor measurement and luciferase chemiluminescence. Gene expression was assayed using cDNA microarrays confirmed by real time PCR, western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS. Cybrids with the 8,993 mtDNA mutation grew faster than wild-type cybrids. Further growth acceleration was demonstrated in the bone microenvironment. A 37 gene molecular signature characterized the growth advantage conferred by the mtDNA mutation and bone microenvironment. Two genes of known importance in clinical prostate cancer, FGF1 and FAK, were found to be substantially upregulated only when both mtDNA mutation and bone stromal cell were present. CONCLUSIONS. The ATP6 np 8,993 mtDNA mutation confers a growth advantage to human prostate cancer that is most fully manifest in the bone microenvironment. The identification of specific molecular alterations associated with mtDNA mutation and growth in bone may allow new understanding of prostate cancer bone metastasis.

Group keeps melody of ancient flutes alive
2012-12-10 00:42:02 GMT2012-12-10 08:42:02(Beijing Time)
A group of Chinese who consider themselves to be descendants of Genghis Khan have dedicated themselves to preserving the chuer, an ancient flute that comes from the mountains they call home.
The group of Chinese Tunivians, an ethnic group originating from Mongolia, live near Kanas Lake, a body of water located near the Altay Mountains in northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The area's picturesque mountains and rivers have long served to inspire chuer players, with many describing the flute as mimicking sounds in nature.
"The way my dad played sounded like the mountains and water here, especially the song 'Altay Mountains.' It was so beautiful that you could almost see the outline of the mountains," said Mengkeyi, a budding chuer player who was inspired to take up the instrument after the death of his father Erdeshi.
The chuer is a lightweight wind instrument made out of lovage, a perennial plant that is plentiful in the area. It has only three holes, but produces a variety of sounds, depending on a player's skills.
The flutes are created in accordance with sizes of a player's hands. No two chuers or chuer players sound or play alike, said Mengkeyi's younger brother Daxi.
"The plants used to make chuer grow only here. Each autumn, we go to the mountains to find suitable lovage stalks. The ones that grow in the mountains are better than those growing at their base. Thin ones are better than thick ones. Roughly one out of every 10 stalks can turn a good chuer," Mengkeyi said.
The instrument is incredibly difficult to learn to play.
"Many people cannot make any sound with the chuer. I was one of them. I made no sound at all for my first three days of training," said Daxi, who was interviewing local elderly to collect information about the instrument to pass on to others.
"Playing the chuer is truly a difficult job. Our father started learning at nine years old but could not make any sound until he was 13. I wasn't able to make any sound until I was a teenager, too. Many quit after considering it impossible," Mengkeyi said.
Songs written for the chuer are not preserved on any score, but are passed on from one generation to another, each adding a unique flavor to the tune.
However, Mengkeyi has little worry about the future of the instrument. "Many people come here to learn how to play. Some are professional musicians, others are local residents," Mengkeyi said.

1.2. What's technically possible
GNUstep GUI framework permits to have basic icons support. More complex GNUstep icons support is based on the IconKit framework. IconKit handles icons either vectorial or bitmapped (with size varying from 16*16 to 64*64) with eight bits alpha channel, and by using antialiasing and interpolation IconKit is able to scale icons smoothly. IconKit permits other advanced things like on the fly icons badging/compositing.
It is advised to use the IconKit framework, as it will help you creating your icons and managing them.

 I'm glad it works. The code is not complicated at all in order to add additional sensor, try to sort it out by yourself.
 - Caryn
 may I know what am I measuring in the code? is it vibration amplitude or vibration time?
 - Swetha
 Can u send me the code for connecting the vibration sensor with nodemcu?
 - admin
 The same way as nano, just connect to a proper pins, which is also written in the code itself.
 2. Souvik
 HI, I had a quick question, according to my understanding, this is a digital sensor, in the sense that, the output from it is going to be only 0 or 1 based on the set threshold, (which you set by turning the potentiometer screw on board). How come your measurement output is showing values greater than 1?
 - pallavi
 Because it is not the value of input pin. if we print the value at input pin then and only then it will be in 0 or 1.

Tag: juvenile detention
It just gets my blood boiling what the Klansmen did to brother Hugo. I don't expect anything different from them. When they see they can't break you, they kill you. From George Jackson to Stanley Tookie Williams and now Hugo "Yogi Bear" Pinell, whenever you're not asleep, whenever you're awake and aware to who these people are and what they are out to do and doing, then you've got to go.
A child who kills vs. a child who was present but did not kill – what sentence does he deserve? A child of color vs. a Caucasian child – does the system treat them the same? How about the youthful offender vs. the adult offender? Personally, it has been my experience with the law that child killers and children who committed assaults are more likely than adults to be treated to the most cruel punishments.
From it's inception, the juvenile justice system has treated youth of color unfairly: When the first detention facility established a "colored section" in 1834, Black children were excluded from rehabilitation because it would be a "waste" of resources.

8 in 10 Greeks believe in conspiracy theories
A large percentage of Greeks have a negative view of immigrants, according to a study conducted by research centre "DiaNOesis".
The findings 62.1% of those polled attributed the economic crisis to internal failings, with only 9.7% responding the faults lies outside Greece. 76% responded that Greek society was at fault saying Greeks had become used to living beyond their means.
A very revealing, and somewhat strange finding, was the fact that 8 in 10 Greeks believed there were secret organisations that were "pulling the strings" behind the scenes.
Another striking finding is the 26.5% who believed planes were leaving chem-trails in the skies. 88.3% of the respondents agreed or partly agreed that the number of immigrants in Greece over the last 10 years was larger than should be, with 64.4% saying they believed immigrants contributed to a rise in crime.
