(CNN) -- Computer scientists at the University of Bath in England have come up with a way to make even the dullest of holiday snaps, quite literally, animated.
John Collomosse has designed software that can transform videos into cartoons, and photographs into cubist portraits.
Traditional animation methods are labor intensive and time consuming, but Collomosse's technique requires very little human intervention for the transformation to take place.
The user chooses from a selection of artistic styles -- including cartoon, oil painting, sketch or cubist -- as to how they want to transform their photograph.
Collomosse created the program for his postgraduate studies, with the help of his supervisor, lecturer Dr. Peter Hall.
He told CNN that for the process to happen automatically, the computer had to be able to identify important features of the photo.
"The central role of the project was to turn video into cartoon. We asked, 'To what degree can we produce a cartoon-style image?'"
Collomosse said until now human intervention was needed to create different styles of images out of photographs, using computer software such as Adobe Photoshop to do so.
"For a cubist image, for example, they would need to pick out the features of the photo, such as the eyes, nose and mouth in an image of a face," he said.
"We had to teach the computer to identify what the important elements were."
By giving the computer an "aesthetic sense," Collomosse said they were able to create a series of automated artworks with new effects, including Picasso-style cubist pictures.
Work on the software began in 2001, and was completed last year, although Collomosse said the program was still a prototype and a lot of development would be needed to turn it into a commercial product.
Potential commercial applications in the future included using it as a "novelty item" in photo booths, where customers could transform their ordinary photos into works of art, he said.
Animator Neil Glasbey, of London-based company Framestore CFC, told CNN that the idea would be a fun tool to use on home videos.
"I think the idea of taking a home video and turning it into a cartoon could be really useful, particularly for the younger generation."
He stressed that for the idea to work, it would need to be simple and easy-to-use.


Fluoride Action Network
Our results suggest that orally administered sodium fluoride enters liver and brain. The blood-brain barrier fails to exclude the fluoride ion from nerve tissue. That fluoride ions also readily pass the placental barrier has been repeatedly demonstrated (9). Fluoride-levels in brain reach a maximum approximately two hours after it has been administered, whereas accumulation in liver continues for at least three hours.

Network>WAN Failover & LB
WAN Failover and Load Balancing allows you to designate the Modem interface
for dialup backup or use the user-assigned OPT interface as
a Secondary backup WAN port. The Secondary WAN port can be used in a simple
active/passive setup, where traffic is only routed through the Secondary WAN
port if the Primary WAN port is down and/or unavailable. This feature is referred
to as basic failover. This allows the SonicWALL security appliance
to maintain a persistent connection for WAN port traffic by failing over to
the modem or a secondary WAN port. It can also be used in a more dynamic active/active
setup, where the administrator can choose a method of dividing outbound traffic
flows between the Primary fixed WAN port and the user-assigned Secondary WAN
port. This latter feature is referred to
as load balancing.
you begin, be sure you have configured a user-defined interface to mirror
the WAN port settings.
WAN Failover Caveats
WAN Failover and Load-Balancing applies to outbound-initiated traffic only;
it cannot be used to perform inbound load-balancing functions, such as what
a content switching or load-balancing appliance provides.
- Make sure that the SonicWALL security appliance has the proper NAT policies
for the Secondary WAN interface an incorrect or missing NAT Policy for
the Secondary WAN port is the most common problem seen when configuring WAN
Failover & Load-Balancing.
- The Primary and Secondary WAN ports cannot be on the same IP subnet; each
WAN connection must be on unique IP subnets in order to work properly.
- You cannot use the WAN failover feature if you have configured the SonicWALL
security appliance to use Transparent Mode in the Network > Settings page.
Setting Up WAN Failover and Load Balancing
The following are the steps to configuring WAN Failover and Load Balancing
on the SonicWALL security appliance:
- Configuring an interface as a Secondary WAN port
- Creating a NAT Policy for the Secondary WAN port
- Activating WAN Failover/Load-Balancing
- Choosing a WAN Failover/Load-Balancing method
- Setting Up Probe Monitoring
Configure WAN Failover to the Modem
If you are using the Modem as a backup connection for your WAN, enable WAN
failover to the modem. If your primary WAN connection fails, the TZ 170 SP
Wireless will automatically try to connect with the modem. It will then monitor
the WAN port, and switch back when it has a reliable connection again. To
configure WAN failover to the modem:
- In the Ethernet WAN Failover & Load Balancing section, check
Load Balancing box.
- Check the Enable Dial-Up Wan Failover box.
- Click Apply.
Configuring the OPT Interface as a Secondary WAN Port
On Network > Interfaces page, configure the OPT port
to be in WAN zone, and enter in the correct address settings provided by the
Secondary ISP. In
the example, the SonicWALL security appliance is acquiring its secondary WAN
address dynamically from ISP #2, using DHCP. Any interface added to the WAN
zone by default creates a NAT Policy allowing internal LAN subnets to NAT out
this Secondary WAN interface.
Creating a NAT Policy for the Secondary WAN Port
You need to create a NAT policy on your SonicWALL for WAN Failover. Follow
these steps to create a NAT policy on your SonicWALL using theor OPT interface:
- Select Network>NAT Policies.
- Click Add. The Add NAT Policy window is displayed.
- Select Any from the Original Source menu.
- Select OPT IP from the Translated
- Select Any from the Original Destination menu.
- Select Original from the Translated Destination menu.
- Select Any from the Original Service menu.
- Select Original from the Translated Service menu.
- Select X0 from the Inbound Interface menu.
- Select OPT interface from the
Outbound Interface menu.
- Make sure the Enable setting is checked.
- Click OK.
Activating WAN Failover and Load Balancing
To configure the SonicWALL for WAN failover and load balancing, follow the
- On the Network > WAN Failover & LB page, select
Enable Load Balancing.
- From the Secondary WAN Interface menu, select your secondary WAN interface.
- Enter a number between 5 and 300, in the Check Interface Every
_ Seconds field. You can use the default value of 5 seconds.
- In the Deactivate Interface after _ missed intervals field, enter a number
between 1 and 10. You can use the default value of 3. If the default
value is used,
then the interface is considered inactive after 3 successive attempts
at 5 seconds each.
- Enter a number between 1 and 10 in the Reactivate Interface after
_ successful intervals field. You can use the default value of
3. If the default value is
used, then the interface is considered active after 3 successive
attempts at 5
- Click Apply.
Choosing an Outbound Load Balancing Method
You need to choose a load balancing method. By default, the SonicWALL will
select Basic Active/Passive Failover as the method, but there are four load
balancing methods available:
Basic Active/Passive Failover: When this setting is selected,
the SonicWALL security appliance only sends traffic through the Secondary
WAN interface if
the Primary WAN interface has been marked inactive. The SonicWALL security
appliance is set to use this as the default load balancing method. If the
Primary WAN fails, then the SonicWALL security appliance reverts to this
of the ones described below. This mode will automatically return back to
using the Primary WAN interface once it has been restored (preempt mode).
has an associated Preempt and fail back to Primary WAN when possible checkbox.
When this checkbox is selected, the SonicWALL security appliance switches
back to sending its traffic across the Primary WAN interface when it resumes
to the SonicWALL security appliance's checks (the WAN's physical
link is restored, or the logical probe targets on the WAN port resume responding).
Per Destination Round-Robin: When this setting is selected,
the SonicWALL security appliance load-balances outgoing traffic on a per-destination
basis. This is
a simple load balancing method and, though not very granular, allows you
to utilize both links in a basic fashion (instead of the method above,
not utilize the capability of the Secondary WAN until the Primary WAN has
failed). The SonicWALL security appliance needs to examine outbound flows
in source IP and destination IP and make the determination as to which
interface to send the traffic out of and accept it back on. Please note
will be overridden by specific static route entries.
Spillover-Based: When this settings is selected, the user
can specify when the SonicWALL security appliance starts sending traffic
through the Secondary
WAN interface. This method allows you to control when and if the Secondary
interface is used. This method is used if you do not want outbound traffic
sent across the Secondary WAN unless the Primary WAN is overloaded. The
SonicWALL security appliance has a non-Management Interface exposed hold
timer set to
20 seconds – if the sustained outbound traffic across the Primary
WAN interface exceeds the administrator defined Kbps, then the SonicWALL
appliance spills outbound traffic to the Secondary WAN interface (on a
per-destination basis). The user entry box should not have a default entry
and be left empty
for the user. Please note this feature will be overridden by specific static
- Percentage Based:
When this setting is selected, you can specify the percentages of traffic
sent through the Primary WAN and Secondary WAN interfaces. This
method allows you to actively utilize both Primary and Secondary WAN interfaces.
Only one entry box is required (percentage for Primary WAN), as the SonicWALL
will auto-populate a non-user-editable entry box with the remaining percentage
assigned to the Secondary WAN interface. Please note this feature will
be overridden by specific static route entries.
WAN Load Balancing Statistics
The WAN Load Balancing Statistics section displays the following status
information on the Primary and Secondary WAN interfaces:
- Link Status
- Load Balance State
- Probe Monitoring
- New Connections
- Total Connections
- Rx Unicast Packets
- Rx Bytes
- Tx Unicast Packets
- Tx Bytes
- Tx Current Percentage
- Tx Current Throughput (KB/s)
Clicking the Clear Statistics button at the top of the Network>WAN
Faliover & Load Balancing page clears the WAN Load Balancing Statistics.

The origin of the name "Turtle Mountain" has never been definitely explained.

Fig. 15-B. The Peace Tower, built in1982, consists of four columns, two in Manitoba and two in North Dakota. The tower is 125 feet high. As I write this, the tower is being dismantled due to deterioration and danger to bystanders. I am unsure what will replace it. Photo: July 29, 2009.
Between 1810 and 1870, Métis hunters from the Red River area followed trails north and south of the feature, to reach the buffalo herds. When viewed from the south, the upland appeared to the Métis as a turtle on the horizon with the head pointing westward and the tail to the east. Another account says that the feature was named for an Ojibwa Indian, "Makinak," (turtle) who walked (ran?) its entire length in one day. The Ojibwa often took their names from things in nature, and the turtle was an important figure in their religious tradition. Other names that have referred to Turtle Mountain include Makinak Wudjiw, LaMontagne Torchue (French for 'Turtle Mountain'), Turtle Hill, Beckoning Hills, and the Blue Jewel of the Plain.
Still another possible origin for the name might be the painted turtles, which are plentiful in the area today. The only "semi-official" information I could find that referred to the origin of the name was included in the early accounts of government cartographers, who noted that, from a distance, the profile of the plateau resembles the back of a turtle. Patrick Gourneau, in his book History of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa explained why "Turtle Mountain" is not "Turtle Mountains." He states the following: "The naming of Turtle Mountain goes back a long time, versions from white men and Indians. To mention only three Chippeway versions, it indicates that it was the early Chippeway migrants from the woodlands of the east who named it Turtle Mountain. None of the three versions carry the name Turtle Mountains. As far back as my memory goes, I have not ever heard a full blood term the hills as Turtle Mountains, and same applies to the "Mechifs." The Chippeway name is "Mekinauk Wudjiw" (Turtle Mountain). If it was Turtle Mountains it would be "Mekinauk Wudjiw wum" (plural). The "Mechifs" referred to the hills as "La Montagne Torchue." "La Montagne Torchue" is French meaning Turtle Mountain. — quoted in Trail of Misgivings by Daniel F. Jerome, 2006, 280 p.
The name "Turtle Mountain" has been misused for so long, that it has become common practice to use the plural or the singular interchangeably to designate the area. I will use the singular form in this article.

For many people, mention of Turtle Mountain brings to mind the International Peace Garden, which straddles an area of three and a half square miles on the U.S.- Canada (North Dakota – Manitoba) border. North Dakota, after all, is known as the Peace Garden State. The Peace Garden was established in 1932 as a symbol of the peaceful relationship between the two nations. The North Dakota portion of the Peace Garden is in Rolette County on the west side of U.S. Highway 281.
Turtle Mountain rises 600 to 800 feet above its surroundings, high enough to receive significantly more precipitation than the surrounding grassland. As a result of the heavier precipitation, Turtle Mountain is forested. The hills cover an area of about a thousand square miles, half in North Dakota, and half in Manitoba. Along with river bottom land and the forested Pembina Hills to the east, Turtle Mountain is one of the few extensive wooded areas in the region. The predominant covering of aspen is interspersed with black poplar, ash, birch, box elder, elm, and bur oak. A large part of the vegetation consists of shrubs like hazel, chokecherry, saskatoon, nanny berry, dogwood, highbush cranberry (pembina), and pincherry. Fire played an important role in the development of present-day vegetation. Prior to settlement, Turtle Mountain was periodically swept by fire caused by lightning and by human activity. Plains Indians recognized that a heavy growth of new plants appeared in burned areas. They knew too that forests did not attract bison, an important food source, so they routinely set fire to the wooded areas. Prairie winds then carried the fires for many miles. This practice may represent one of the earlier attempts by humans to attract animals by manipulating the environment.
North Dakota, geology, Turtle Mountains

Turtle Mountain is basically an erosional feature, a broad area, resulting when younger sediments were left standing when the surrounding older materials were eroded away. Unlike the Killdeers, though, Turtle Mountain was then glaciated and the resulting glacial landforms greatly changed the area. Had the area not been glaciated, Turtle Mountain might be more like the Killdeer Mountains, although much broader and probably not so prominent a feature. The area of Turtle Mountain is underlain by rocks of the Cretaceous Fox Hills and Hell Creek formations and the Paleocene Cannonball Formation, all covered by a thick layer of glacial sediment. In early Pliocene or earliest Miocene time, five or six million years ago, the area that is now Turtle Mountain was part of a broad, northeast-sloping plain. Rivers and streams flowed over the plain from the west and southwest, making their way to Hudson Bay. Then, in Pliocene time, maybe four million years ago, erosion increased markedly and large amounts of material were removed as deep valleys dissected the plain. I am unsure why this cycle of erosion began. Perhaps the area was uplifted by geologic forces so that streams began to cut down and into the sediments over which they had been flowing or (more likely) the climate may have changed.
North Dakota, geology, Turtle Mountain, wetlands

The erosion removed sediment and shaped new hills and valleys. Gradually, as streams carried the sediments surrounding Turtle Mountain away to Hudson Bay, a large mesa, or perhaps a range of buttes, remained where the hills that comprise Turtle Mountain stand today. The reason the outlier developed where it did is not clear. The uppermost bedrock unit (beneath the covering of glacial sediment) of Turtle Mountain is the Tertiary Cannonball Formation, which is not notably resistant to erosion. It is possible that some kind of resistant layer was present throughout much of the erosion cycle, perhaps a part of the lower Bullion Creek Formation. Additional drilling in the area may eventually penetrate a remnant of some resistant material that has not yet been found. If any resistant layer exists, it is everywhere buried beneath glacial sediments.

About three million years ago, the climate turned colder and, as snow built up to great depths near Hudson Bay, glaciers formed and the ice flowed southward, out of Canada into North Dakota. As the climate fluctuated during the Ice Age, glaciers advanced and receded, flowing over and around Turtle Mountain several times. About 25,000 years ago, the Late Wisconsinan glacier flowed southward over Turtle Mountain for the last time. During the most recent major glaciation, Turtle Mountain was continuously buried beneath the actively moving glacial ice for about 10,000 years.

The movement of the glacial ice over the obstruction formed by the Turtle Mountain upland caused the ice to become compressed, resulting in shearing within the glacier, especially on the west and north sides of the area. The shearing of the ice at the edge of Turtle Mountain caused large amounts of rock and sediment to be incorporated into the ice. As the climate moderated between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago, the glacier became thinner and its margin receded northward. Because Turtle Mountain rises 600 to 800 feet above the surrounding area, and because ice 200 or 300 feet thick can flow under its own weight, the flow of glacial ice on the lowland adjacent to Turtle Mountain continued for a while. At the same time, the glacier on top of Turtle Mountain stagnated, leaving several hundred feet of debris-covered ice covering the surface on the upland.
In areas surrounding Turtle Mountain, where shearing of material into the glacier had not been as intense, the ice was cleaner and it simply melted away, leaving only a small amount of sediment.

C. Gaps of Systems
Assessing Gaps of Systems asks that we consider the inclusiveness of the systems upon which our proposed action depends and that we reflect critically upon the limitations of those systems. For example, if we propose to communicate a message – upon what systems does our message depend? We must consider how we will reach people who do not speak our language, who cannot hear/read, and to what extent there may be communities who lack access media. Alternatively, if we locate a free mediation service at the court-house, we must consider whom our legal system serves and fails to serve and whether our efforts to provide alternative methods for conflict resolution might be limited due to the legal system's limitations. Ultimately, this aspect of Gap review asks whether we aware of the limitations of our existing systems and how we may create more inclusive systems.

Tube-casts are formed in most, if not all, conditions of kidney deterioration. To a limited extent also, they occur apart from other evidences of deterioration. This fact, bearing on the diagnosis of early renal disease, warrants a close study of their origin and significance.
The literature on the subject discloses many divergent views, of which even a partial review cannot be given. The objects here intended are to consider certain primary differences in casts and to account for their origin.
Tube-casts may originate from a number of the materials entering into the structure and composition of the kidney and blood, unchanged chemically and morphologically, or broken down and altered by processes of degeneration or by the action of the urinary secretion. It is evident therefore that uniformity of composition cannot be looked for. The protein units forming cellular matter are complex and subject to great variations, and so also are

In the view of increased competition resulting from globalization of economics, the Malaysia government has placed much emphasis on the importance of the wage determinant. Wages is define as 'remuneration or earnings which are payable in virtue of a written or unwritten contract of employment by employer to an employed person' (International Labour Organization). The government recognized that wage levels must increase in order to improve the standard of living and reduce poverty. However, increase in wages without appropriate policies could put pressures as well as erode the country's international competitiveness and its attractiveness as a profitable Centre for foreign investment. One of the reasons of the decline in FDI in Malaysia is that the country has been losing its competitiveness due to pressure on wages. Malaysia is no longer a center for cheap labor and low cost production when compared to countries like China, India or Vietnam (Yusof, 2006).
Since wage serves as a vital role in the economy, there are a number of empirical studies concerning wages in Malaysia industries. Ho and Yap (2001) investigated wage formation in the Malaysian Manufacturing industry from 1975 to 1997. They found a big positive significant relationship between wages and productivity where the increase in real wage exceeded the increase in labor productivity in the long run. Nijhar (1976) and Chan (1991) have conducted studies on wage structure but very little attention was paid to explaining the mechanism of wage formation at sectoral levels in the Malaysia economy.
This study analyse both the long-run and short-run dynamics of wage formation in Malaysian manufacturing industry. The determinants are inflation, unemployment rate, foreign direct investment (FDI), productivity, import, export in manufacturing and unemployment.

Spending cuts—not tax hikes—to balance Alberta's budget

Spending cuts—not tax hikes—to balance Alberta's budget
As the Kenney government's first budget approaches, some pundits and analysts are calling for higher taxes to help shrink the Alberta's deficit. These calls are ill-advised. Instead of hiking taxes, the government should stick to its guns and tackle the deficit by reforming and reducing provincial spending.
Following the release of the MacKinnon report on Alberta's public finances, which called for a path to balance over four years based entirely on spending restraint, calls for new or higher taxes became louder and more frequent. Journalists, pundits and some academics asked the question—why focus entirely on spending restraint instead of raising taxes to balance the budget? And more specifically, why not implement a sales tax, which exists in every other province except Alberta?
To be sure, there's a reasonable argument for an HST in Alberta. It is, after all, a relatively less-economically harmful tax than most others. But this policy change should not be used to shrink the deficit. Indeed, any new sales tax should be "revenue-neutral," matched with dollar-for-dollar cuts in either the corporate income tax or personal income tax to help the economy grow.
But even introducing an HST to help shrink the deficit, without such corresponding tax cuts, would unnecessarily impede Alberta's economic recovery. In reality, trying to reduce the deficit through higher taxes would be an economically-harmful strategy. There are better ways to reduce the deficit with an eye on economic growth and job creation.
In other words, if the purpose of a new HST is to replace more harmful taxes and make the tax system more efficient, that's fine. If it's intended as a partial solution to the deficit, it should be a non-starter.
The economic case for slaying deficits by reducing spending—instead of generating more tax revenue—is sound (as Harvard economist Alberto Alesina's work shows). Higher taxes create a headwind that would interfere with the province's economic recovery, which would make getting out of the fiscal hole even harder. Spending reductions, on the other hand, can help fill the gap without similar negative economic consequences.
Back to the original question posed by some pundits. Given the size of Alberta's deficit, is it practical to focus on just one side of the ledger instead of both? Can Alberta really slay the deficit without raising taxes?
The answer is, emphatically, yes. As the MacKinnon Report shows, Alberta spent $2,451 per person more on government program spending than the average spent by the three largest provinces in Canada. Reducing spending to that average rate would save the province $10.4 billion per year—enough to easily erase the deficit. The MacKinnon report further shows that a nominal spending freeze over four years will be enough to eliminate the deficit. And our own analysis shows that if the government went further and reduced spending by approximately three per cent annually over the next three years, it could balance the budget ahead of schedule while also creating room for economy-boosting tax cuts including reductions to personal income tax rates, a crucial area where Alberta has become less competitive in recent years compared to several U.S. energy-producing states.
Of course, spending reductions aren't as simple as waving a magic wand. But previous governments in Canada, of all political stripes—Romanow's NDP in Saskatchewan, Chretien's Liberals in Ottawa and Klein's Tories here at home—all made much deeper cuts in much shorter time periods, successfully solving even worse fiscal challenges than Alberta faces today.
Alberta's fiscal problems today are serious but not impossible to solve, and they can—and should—be addressed without tax hikes.

Midtown Manhattan's Lever House marked a watershed in U.S. architecture when completed in 1952. Located on the west side of Park Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets, the corporate headquarters, with its facade made of blue-green glass and stainless steel mullions, was one of the first glass-walled International Style office buildings in the country. Within a decade of its construction, the initial enthusiasm for Lever House gave way to a universal recognition of its pivotal importance to American architecture. In 1982, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Lever House an official landmark.
The structure consists of two intersecting masses, balanced in their proportions but contrasting in shape. A two-story horizontal block containing an open court occupies the entire site with a 21-story tower located on the north. The columns and the ground floor court create a large open plaza allowing entrances to the lobby to be located away from pedestrian traffic. Inside, the typical floor is characterized by large, open office areas with easy access to individual offices, and service cores at the western end.

For parts with up to 25% combustibles
Maximum 800°F (427°C)
RateControlled models allow you to strip parts with greater loads of combustibles, even oil-soaked transformers. RateControlled models combine all of the features of Controlled Pyrolysis® models with a more advanced system of detecting overheating.
The rate controlled ovens are an excellent choice for varying load sizes or highly combustible amounts. They have faster overheat response times than the controlled pyrolysis ovens and are built to FM standards with high fire afterburner.
The RateControlled model's advanced temperature control system detects overheating when it begins, allowing processing of materials that are difficult if not impossible to control, such as volatile combustibles like oil-soaked transformers, partially-cured paint films on grates, and other hard-to-process materials. Some combustibles start to decompose at lower temperatures than others and, therefore, more difficult to keep from igniting. The RateControlled System monitors the rates of furnace temperature increase, the afterburner temperature and the rate of smoke emission. Should any of these accelerate too fast, the rate controllers turn on the water spray to restore safe operation. The rate controllers are factory-set and require no operator input.
- Automatic time cycles ensure that the furnace runs for only as long as it takes the process to load.
- Automatic Cool-down
- Larger loads can be processed more quickly
- The Rapid heat afterburner helps to increase the processing rate of the smoke being generated during operation.
- Safety requirements set by insurance companies and EPA are met through the use of door switches, purge times, extra gas valve and high/low gas pressure switches.
Standard Features of RateControlled™ Ovens
- Automatic Time Cycle runs the furnace only as long as it takes to process the load.
- Fully Automatic. No cycle time or ramp recipe to select.
- Automatic Cool-Down if the secondary burner fails. Back-Up Water Spray.
- Processes larger loads in shorter times.
- Processes more volatile loads with digital controllers.
- Rapid Heat Afterburner raises standard afterburner temperature from 1500°F to 1650°F, increasing the processing rate of the smoke generated.
- Rapid Heat Afterburner required by EPA in some states.
- Diagnostic Panel indicator lights reflect the operational status of the oven and its controls and pin-points the problem.
- Door Switch, Purge Time, Extra Gas Valve and High/Low Gas Pressure Switches enhance burner safety required by some insurance companies.

Work Accident Claims
What are the Accidents at Work that Occur in Waste Management?
In the UK the Waste Management sector is one of the most dangerous sectors for employees to work in. This is not only because of the immediate dangers present but because unlike other hazardous occupations within other industries, this sector has many additional problems associated with it which are not apparent until long past the time at which the problem started. In layman's terms illnesses associated with the waste management industry can take a lengthy time to surface due to the exposure of hazardous waste.
What are the Types of Accidents that occur in Waste Management?
The types of accidents that occur in the waste management sector can be widespread and diverse. The most common injuries that occur are strains, sprains as well as wounds and dislocations. However, the area of damage can be anywhere on the body, including the head, spine, etc.
Although, most of these injuries listed above are superficial and can be fixed with little or minor treatment, the amount of concussions and internal injury and illnesses are actually far higher than many other sectors. The cause of these injuries/illnesses can be highly varied and range from poisoning, effects of sound and pressure as well as shocks and various other causes.
How Severe can Accidents in the Waste Management Sector be?
The severity of the accidents occurring in the waste management sector is also much higher than in the other industries. However, most of the injuries are not permanent. NACE data shows that temporary absences account for a majority of these accidents (95.4%) followed by permanent incapacity to continue working (4.4%), while fatal accidents account for around0.3% of the total figures. While most of these accidents occur in the age group of 35-54, it is seen that most of them occur to the relatively lower age group as compared to the more experienced elder groups.
Have you suffered from an Accident at work?
If you work in a waste or recycle workplace and if you work in a waste or recycle workplace and you have suffered from an accident you will want to find out how to make a compensation claim and look for some accidents at work compensation examples to see what you could claim. Its very important as you could have life time lasting injuries and you might need medical health care the compensation can cover medical expenses as it can be expensive.
What are the Causes of Accidents at Work in Waste Management?
Waste management is more than just refuse collection. It involves recycling and corrective measures as well. As such, since the scope of work activities are quite diverse, the kind of accident relates to the field of work. For example, the dominant form of accidents faced by refuse collectors (~70%) is related to transport. By comparison, the other sectors have different forms of predominant accidents. However, the most common form of accident observed in relation to the waste management industry is with handling.
Handling is a loose term encompassing accidents like lifting, moving, cutting etc. This is about 45% of all accidents reported. Other major accidents include slips and trips (26%) and getting struck by falling objects (10%).
Statistics on Workplace Accidents that happen in Waste Management Employment
Waste management injury and illness incident statistics illustrates that the waste management industry has a much higher rate of affecting the worker's well-being than any other industry. In fact, while the average for all sectors stands at 24.2% for work affecting the health of an average worker, it is 36.9% in the waste management sector (NACE data). Not only that, the physical risk factors are also significantly higher regarding the waste management industry. For example, while the risk of working in low temperature is at 25.2% across all sectors, for the waste management industry, it is nearly double that figure at 50.2%, while the risk of handling infectious materials is at 30.1% within the waste management industry against the usual figure of 11.3%. Also visit the HSE waste management statistics page.
What are the main causes of Illness and Injury in Waste Management?
The most common form of sickness observed in the waste management workers was related to musculoskeletal disorders. This is connected to the particular risks associated with the waste management sector, including heavy muscle usage due to pulling, pushing and heavy lifting. Other factors which contribute to it are the temperature along with work hours and the repetitive nature of the work, among other things.

Ceremonial handover of Germany's first citizens terminals with video function
presentation citizens terminal Neustadt
At 14.10 the first citizen kiosk of the State Saxony was put into operation in Neustadt. The formal presentation was made by Mr Justice Minister Jürgen Martens (FDP) to the mayor of Neustadt (Saxony ) Manfred Elsner.
Through the video interface and the remote control of scanners, printers, etc developed by eKiosk it is the first citizens terminal in Germany with these features and extends the eGouvernment landscape in Germany as an example. Minister in Justice Minister Jürgen Martens ( FDP) sees this project as a major project at the European level to support local communities.
The Citizens terminal will be used in the future as a branch of the county Saxon Switzerland.
So applications can be filled out and printed. Via video phone the Citizens are connected to an employee in the district headquarters in Pirna.
The device and 13 more in Saxony are tested for two years, and when the civil terminal is accepted by the population, is a major rollout.

Effect of age and glycaemic control on the association between fibrinogen and risk of acute coronary events after transient ischaemic attack or stroke.
Howard SC., Algra A., Rothwell PM., Cerebrovascular Cohort Studies Collaboration None.
BACKGROUND: Fibrinogen is an independent risk factor for acute vascular events, but there is uncertainty as to whether it is causal. One potential causal mechanism is the formation of low permeability fibrin clot in association with raised fibrinogen. We hypothesised that if this effect of fibrinogen were causally related to risk of vascular events, the risk relationship would be affected by the two other factors that affect fibrin clot permeability - age and glycaemic control. METHODS: We studied the relationship between fibrinogen and risk of incident coronary events by age and baseline glucose levels in pooled data from three cohorts of patients with known cerebrovascular disease (UK-TIA Aspirin trial; Dutch TIA trial; Oxford TIA Study) during 23,272 patient-years of follow-up. RESULTS: Risk of coronary events increased linearly with fibrinogen, but there was a significant interaction with age (p = 0.01 across tertiles of age), with the association being strongest for individuals aged <60 years (upper fibrinogen quintile hazard ratio = 3.95, 95% CI = 2.67-5.85, p < 0.0001). The risk relation was diminished in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes. The effects of age and glycaemic control were independent, such that there was an almost fivefold increase in risk across quintiles of fibrinogen in patients aged <60 years with below median normal glucose levels (upper quintile hazard ratio = 4.90, 95% CI = 2.79-8.58, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The effect of age and glycaemic control on the relationship between fibrinogen and risk of acute coronary events supports the hypothesis of a causal effect of fibrinogen mediated via the permeability of fibrin clot.

How do Europeans travel in Australia? Examining cultural convergence in travel behaviour
The impacts of globalisation and cultural convergence theory have been discussed in various research areas. Scholars agree that global consumer behaviour becomes increasingly homogenous. However, in tourism, there is still evidence that visitor markets are distinguished and segmented according to their nationality. This study argues that national borders have lost in significance to separate markets. By means of a correspondence analysis, this study provides evidence that European travel...[Show more]

The Elixir parser under the microscope
The Elixir parser can be used for purposes other than compiling code. For example, to transform the AST into SQL fragments. Even a basic, interpreted "Elixir-ish" programming language is easy to build, in a few hundred lines of code. However, using the built in parser also has its drawbacks: it creates atoms, and the AST is non-reversible. In this talk, we will zoom in on the inner workings of the Elixir parser and Arjan's efforts to create a non-destructive, "atom-safe" Elixir parser.
Arjan Scherpenisse is an experienced Elixir and Erlang developer. After freelancing as a backend developer for several years, he founded his startup Botsquad, an Elixir-powered chatbot platform, on which he now works full-time. Besides coding, he really enjoys teaching and transferring his knowledge to the next generation of software developers.

Pitcher's Thistle (Cirsium pitcheri)
By Morty Harwood
Pitcher's thistle, or dune thistle, occurs along the shores of Lake Michigan, Huron, and Superior. Originally discovered around 1820 by Dr. Zina Pitcher in what is now Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, this small thistle grows to a maximum height of about three to four feet when flowering, considerably less that the size reached by its larger cousin Canada thistle (C. arvense). A native of the Great Lakes dune ecosystem, it thrives in sandy soil with the help of an impressive taproot (up to six feet long!) that helps the plant obtain water. For much of its life the Pitcher's thistle exists as a small, inconspicuous cluster of leaves called a rosette, the massive taproot encompassing a majority of the plants mass. Flowering occurs after the Pitcher's thistle survives in this rosette stage for up to eight years. After flowering and producing seed, the plant dies.
Pitcher's thistle can be identified by its deeply toothed, wooly leaves and by the presence of spines at the tips of each point on the leaf. The wooly coating gives the leaves and stems their characteristic silvery appearance, as well as helping the plant to conserve water. The plant flowers from mid-June through September and shows a flower head that ranges from creamy white to light pink. This trait can be helpful in distinguishing it from other, more common thistles, which typically possess pink or purple flowers. Other varieties of thistle also lack the extremely wooly leaves and silvery appearance of the Pitcher's Thistle.
From an ecological perspective, all thistles are important food sources for certain birds, especially American Goldfinches, which may feed on thistle seed almost exclusively during later summer and early fall. Small mammals such as ground squirrels may also consume the seeds after they have fallen from the plant.
Although it was likely never extremely widespread, Pitcher's thistle was once fairly common in sand dune ecosystems of Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and the Canadian province of Ontario. Numbers of Pitcher's thistle, however, have declined in recent decades due to habitat destruction associated with development and recreational use. The sensitivity of the Pitcher's thistle to these types of disturbances led to its designation as a federally threatened species in 1996. A threatened species is a species that is at risk of becoming endangered, while an endangered species is one that is at risk of becoming extinct. Pitcher's Thistle is also protected at the state level in each state where it occurs, and at both provincial and national levels in Canada. Due to continued development and overuse of the sensitive Great Lakes sand dune ecosystem, there is still a risk to the Pitcher's thistle and other native plants sharing this habitat. Invasive plants species – particularly spotted knapweed – also pose a threat to the habitat of the Pitcher's thistle. Recently, concern has arisen that the non-native beetle species Rhinocyllus conicus may be praying on Pitcher's thistle. This beetle preys on the flower heads of the plant, and was originally introduced to control populations of non-native thistles.

Who Am I
A new photograph floats to the surface
Playfully dressing up as the world around me
Hat, striped socks and all
Tiptoeing at the top for one last sweet moment
Before sinking back into my ocean mind.
One after another they arrive
Single file,
Steeping my eyes in the world
As the minds shutter, ever fluttering
Strings together this conscious stream I play in.
My photographs fade in time's wrinkled arms.
Joining their brothers and sisters at the ocean floor,
Who am I?

Respect Comes with Age
My father and my mother sat me down one day
 to tell me how wonderful that I was growing O.K.
The years passes by as I got to be a teenager
 with high hopes of becoming the first young manager
Life turns out a manager job is not for me
 so I kept things to a minimum working hard you see
My family had taught me with all do respect
Like queens and kings we bow our head
 to the people who is wiser in age even when dead
Life as our guide the time we have aged
 is what we leave behind that we are gaged
In prospective we are the stars and we are the earth
 because we age and leave behind a new birth
To those that seek such blessing of heart
 remember this age is respect for living from the start
Do you remember your father, mother, and teachers
 they are the ones cheering you on, sitting on those bleachers

I am alson't lying
Today was the day of judgment,
All children were excited and pleased,
But when the result was declared,
Tutor called student; one by one in the office,
And appreciated each of them,
Who got good marks in the tests.
But suddenly, a cried break out amusement',
Why did a teacher, beat up a student so badly?
Who wrote in the exam,
The sun was rising in the river,
Fishes were jumping over the clouds,
And climbing up on the palm trees.
Head teacher came out and asked the boy,
Where did you read all this?
When my dad goes fishing, he told.
I always think, why fishes have white colour,
I understand when we were acrossing the waves,
Fishes must eat coconut.
A teacher not beaten up a student only,
Also he failed because of not following his lesson,
That was from a book,
Dad, I wasn't wrong, a child was sobbing,
If book isn't lying,
I am also not lying.

The Teacher Tree
all of them sustain,
some wilted,
all vital,
each a part of the teacher tree.
speaking different parables,
humming different songs,
each falling its own way in the end.
tell me, tell me teacher tree,
why they have to die?
some too soon to truly live,
struggling and suffering.
the sun will scorch,
the winds will dry,
each one of your sacred leaves.
the teacher tree won't answer,
and all the leaves will try
to tell you why they matter.
every living one does matter,
and was made so all could exist.
the teacher tree stays silent,
but answers every one,
and every fallen leaf
is one with him,
forever and forever.


text: This paper examines the importance of national-level institutional arrangements for promoting the EU's Protected Geographic Indication scheme (PGI). Taking the example of Ireland, for which PGI designations remain comparatively low, it explores whether the approach to providing institutional supports to the PGI scheme is influenced by top-down technocratic governance structures that pertain to food safety and quality certification that encompass the broader operating environment for food production in Ireland. Although the regulation of food safety and quality certification are distinct remits to the administration of the PGI scheme, in the Irish context the same institutional bodies are involved in governance of both. Using a discourse analysis interpretative framework, this paper draws on interviews with Irish producer group members and institutional representatives to examine how governance of the PGI scheme reflects management perspectives and practices more in keeping with a regulatory environment for food safety and quality than with development of place-based food product links. It suggests that incentives to avail of the PGI scheme as a means of realising value-added for producers are not well established because they require the development of more subjective, context-dependent processes and practices linked to geographical place and place identity. These are not easily accommodated under current institutional arrangements that also incorporate food safety and quality remits because these are in turn strongly established through nationally and internationally recognised systems of regulation and bench-marking. The findings point to the benefits to be gained from a more layered governance structure for PGI; devolving operation of the scheme to relevant regional and local development organisations that possess the expertise and relevant local knowledge to (a) incentivise the formation of producer groups, and (b) prioritise mentoring and support for PGI concept development as a clearer reflection of bottom-up rural sustainability policy.

IBS Body Spots (Tinea Versicolor)
Are you experiencing visible body spots? Are there white spots? See how IBS contributes to this symptom and learn how to dissolve it!
Body spots (Tinea Versicolor) is a symptom which only shows visible markings on the surface of your skin and no other adverse effects.
Tinea Versicolor
*I have also experienced a series of skin markings on my back, white and circular in nature. Let me explain why this happens and how to dissolve it.*
When IBS Tinea Versicolor is prevalent, your skin shows visible spots which are white and circular; look as though the blood underneath the skin is not evenly spread out. It may appear anywhere on your body however it is more prevalent on the centre core of your body; abdominal and back region. This is because the skin is located closer to your abdominal organs such as your liver and intestines.
The body spots (Tinea Versicolor) can be sparsely distributed on your body or it could be very concentrated depending on each person's severity level.
Now why would you have visible markings on your body?
First of all, it is because your system has become bacterially imbalanced. It has also become very weak. This is largely due to a high sugar content in your diet, continual ingestion of processed foods, use of antibiotics, birth control pills, etc. The yeast in your system which is normally harmless, has now over-produced beyond normal levels causing Candidiasis. This is a condition where the yeast starts to cause harmful damage to your system.
The white spots are yeast colonizing in groups underneath the skin. When the yeast is far too dominate in your system, your organs would not be functioning as optimally as it should be. There may have been some damage done to your liver or it may simply be very weak. The liver is the organ that filters the blood in your body. Your intestines also become more permeable and inflammation may exists.
The body spots (Tinea Versicolor) become very visible when you are drinking alcohol. This is because the blood pressure rises and your skin color turns a cherry red, further showing the differences in color against the white spots (yeast colonies).
Alcohol is a substance that can feed the yeast and it can also harm your liver. It is important to keep your drinking to a minimal or even not at all; which would be best.
How to dissolve the body spots (Tinea Versicolor)?
This requires you to dissolve the yeast colonization that exists underneath your skin. This means that you need to restrengthen your system and re-create a healthy bacterial balance in your body by avoiding the following:
Stress Check
This causes the liver to face further burden, so minimize the amount of stress in your life. Try to make it through each day with little or no stress. If a heavily stressful event occurs, take the next 30 minutes to relax to pace your body down.
Lack of exercise
When you do not exercise, your organs begin to slow down. Slow organs causes fatigue as well as an array of other health issues. It is best to exercise at least 2-3 times per week to keep your organs in check. Exercising helps to regulate your internal organs so that they function at the correct pace.
Lack of Rest
Try to incorporate at least 8 hours of sleep per day. This helps each and every one of your organs to recuperate before beginning the next day. Continuous lack of rest causes your organs to become weak over-time.
Lack of Fluids
Ensure you drink lots of liquid. Avoid coffee or any other liquids that contains caffeine. Caffeine blocks your intestines from fully absorbing the nutrients from your daily diet. When your organs are not provided with sufficient amount of nutrients, they begin to weaken.
Unhealthy Diet
The constant ingestion of unhealthy foods, causes a lack of sufficient nutrients to the body. Long-term results can include many health problems. The liver eventually loses health with these types of foods as well.
Healthy_FoodIt is best to eat a sufficient amount from each of the four food groups (meat & alternatives, fruit & vegetables, dairy products and grain products). Try to avoid deep-fried, over-baked, msg-added, etc. type of foods.
When you eat healthy foods, your body returns the favour by showing a boost in health such as increased stamina, less fatigue, etc. The liver will thank you for ingesting healthy food. Click here to see a recommended list of food recipes.
* Very Importantly, do the following: Treat with Herbal Remedies
1. Take a Candida Stop treatment to help eliminate the yeast overgrowth in your body as noted here.
2. Also important to take a liver stimulant such as Milk Thistle, to help ensure your liver is functioning optimally. Read more here.
3a. Lastly, combine a couple drops of Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) with Calendula Cream (Calendula Officinalis only) and rub the cream in the areas where the Tinea Versicolor is visible. See here for more details on Tea Tree Oil and ensure you select the correct type of Calendula Cream by clicking here.
Calendula can be used simply on dry skin as well, after a month you will notice a considerable difference in the texture of your skin; much more vibrant skin. Most importantly however, both Tea Tree Oil and Calendula contain anti-fungal agents that will help to eliminate the yeast underneath the skin causing the Tinea Versicolor.
3b. Or alternatively, instead of using the combination of drops and cream noted in 3a, you can do the following:
Selsun OrangeUse Selsun Orange that contains 2.5% of selenium sulfide and apply it to all areas where the Tinea Versicolor body spots are visible. It is to be applied immediately after taking a warm shower and your body has been dried off with a towel. This is when the pores on your body are open as a result of the warm shower. Keep the Selsun Orange lathered on your body for at least 10 minutes before re-showering to wash off the shampoo. Repeat this process everyday for at least 7 consecutive days.
This product is typically used for dandruff but it has been known to work well with this particular skin problem occurring on the body. The selenium sulfide needs to be at a 2.5% concentration level in order to benefit from the full effect. Lower concentration levels may be too weak to provide positive results.
This shampoo product, when applied on the skin, helps to create an environment that is not friendly to the yeast. Yeast lives on the skin for those experiencing Tinea Versicolor body spots because the skin has 'adopted' the yeast and provided a friendly environment for it. With Selsun Orange, it will help to create a non-friendly environment and prevent the yeast from living on the skin.
Note that when the yeast overgrowth has been eliminated, it will take at least 3 months for the visible white body spots to slowly disappear.
Always remember that patience and persistence is key when following the guidelines provided here.

David Bisseli, (2007) Mobile bodies: train travel and practices of movement. Doctoral thesis, Durham University.
This thesis investigates experiences of railway travel from a passenger perspective by looking at how passengers move through and dwell within spaces of the railway journey. It responds to a lack of attention to diverse processual enactments and theorisations of processes and practices that constitute these flows. Challenging both the theory that this particular'space of flows' constitutes a non-place that is characterised by placelessness, and theories that rely on aggregate models of movement that serve to pacify the body, this thesis speaks to the neglected transient experience that acknowledges how the railway journey is continually brought into being by passengers through practice rather than given a-priori. It is based on in-depth empirical research that focuses on long-distance, intercity journeys as a particular space of flows. It develops a descriptive, multi-method approach to investigate what a travelling body is and how a body becomes a travelling body; how and to what extent travel-time is planned, organised, used and valued; and how the experience of time and space transform over the duration of a journey. For many, and contrary to economically-productivist studies, the railway journey is not a wasted time, but is valued and put to use in a variety of different ways that fold through and are integrally-linked to the commitments, motivations and obligations of other time-spaces. The resulting heterogeneity of practices within the confined space of the railway carriage also has significant implications for the sociality and forms of responsibility that develop. However, certain parts of the journey are more valuable than others and within this space of flows are many durations of immobility and passivity. Nevertheless, and contrary to other practice-based studies that privilege the body-in-action, passivity does not necessarily constitute a weak form of inhabiting the world. This research demonstrates how multiple configurations of passivity come into play at different points during the railway journey to assist in making the process of travel easier. In sum, this thesis mobilises new ways of looking at transient spaces which attempt to move beyond a sedentary metaphysics of space.

||Experimental study is an important methodology for ocean engineering research. However, measuring any physical parameters in the |
field involves the instrumentation to overcome a wide range of problems, such as robustness to the severe environment, limitation
of power supply and data storage, and also simplicity of operation. Taking seabed profile or bedform measurement as an example,
conductivity point gauge or ultra-sound non-contact profiler is usually adopted. Limited by the time needed per sampling, these
approaches are costly in operation if dense grid points are required to describe the variation of a long transect. In addition to
this drawback, the surface will be disturbed after conductivity-based contact probing. We propose using an off-the-shelf,
non-metric CCD camera along with a simple calibration methodology as an alternative to carry out the measurement. As the semiconductor
technology advances drastically, nowadays high quality CCD cameras are available with inexpensive prices. Recently, CCD camera emerges
as a convenient input sensor for many applications. However, generally it requires a delicate optical and geometrical calibration of
the camera before it can be used to carry out 2D or 3D measurement of the target. The optical parameters are focal length, distortion
of lens, optical axis offset, CCD array linearity and etc; and geometrical parameters are position and orientation of the CCD camera.
Some of these parameters are sensitive to the setup of the system, and a re-calibration is needed whenever the system is disassembled
or moved. We propose using a template on which grid points of known locations are used to construct several sub-mappings between measurement
coordinate system and image pixel coordinate system. This simple procedure is effective to meet the accuracy requirement for several applications.
In this work, this idea is adopted and verified in three different experiments: An underwater laser line scanner, a cross-section wave tank bedform
profiling and Particle Imaging Velocimetry.


Attorneys talking to JudgeThis is the second post in a series of articles discussing specific circumstances in which a parent may seek an emergency change in a child custody order in Las Vegas, Nevada. The previous post provided an overview of the situations that will be explored throughout this series. It also stressed the importance of retaining an experienced Las Vegas family law attorney to help you navigate this often contentious process. Your child's safety is of the utmost importance. A lawyer can help you understand how and when you may protect them from danger by seeking an emergency custody modification. This article will review when drug use by a parent may result in an emergency change in custody. If you need assistance, contact my office today to speak to an attorney.
When a Las Vegas judge will consider a parent's drug use an emergency for purposes of changing custody
As I have previously discussed, for a judge to consider an emergency custody change, the child must be in serious danger of imminent harm as a result of the other parent's behavior. In the context of drug use, the Court's approach to cases involving "hard drugs" will be very different than it is in matters involving the use or abuse of prescription substances or marijuana. The mere possession of harder substances, such as heroin, methamphetamines, cocaine, etc. is a criminal offense. Possession of or use of these drugs around the child will be viewed as a danger to the child's well-being and considered an emergency, justifying an expedited custody change.
If a parent is suspected of misusing prescription medication or smoking pot, on the other hand, a judge will not typically view this as an emergency unless evidence exists that the child is in immediate danger as a result. For example, if a parent is constantly high and has been driving the child while impaired, this may justify expedited action. It is possible that this behavior, even if not grounds for emergency action, may still lead to a custody change if determined to be adverse to the child's best interest. It is more likely, however, that the Court will schedule a hearing to understand whether a non-emergency change in custody is appropriate. The occasional use of marijuana in Las Vegas or valid use of legally prescribed medications taken as prescribed, on the other hand, is not grounds for changing custody, even on a non-emergency basis.
A Las Vegas attorney can assist with the emergency custody change process
The first step in requesting an emergency custody hearing is to file a Motion with the Court. It will also be necessary to file a request that the Court hear the Motion on an immediate basis. An initial hearing will be held quickly, after the other parent is given at least one days' notice. At the expedited hearing, the Court will order the parent suspected of drug use to submit to a drug test. Once the results of the test are available, which can happen quickly, the judge will decide whether the circumstances justify an emergency modification of custody. The judge may make a change on a temporary basis, with a more permanent decision being made after a future hearing. Where no emergency cause for a custody change exists, the judge may decline to make any temporary change and postpone the matter altogether for a future hearing. If the Court feels a trial is justified then discovery will begin shortly after the initial hearing. If custody is changed on an emergency basis as a result of hard drug use, then the Court may require that the other parent's visitation be supervised pending the outcome of drug tests and regularly scheduled status checks. The Court's decisions will be based on the specific facts and circumstances of each specific situation.
As a Las Vegas family lawyer, I am committed to helping my clients by providing the highest level of customer service and respect throughout this difficult process. If you need assistance, contact my office today to speak to an attorney.

In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, traffic equations are equations that describe the mean arrival rate of traffic, allowing the arrival rates at individual nodes to be determined. Mitrani notes "if the network is stable, the traffic equations are valid and can be solved.":125
In a Jackson network, the mean arrival rate at each node i in the network is given by the sum of external and internal arrivals. If external arrivals have rate and the routing matrix[clarification needed] is P, the traffic equations are, (for i = 1, 2,..., m)
This can be written in matrix form as
and there is a unique solution of unknowns to this equation, so the mean arrival rates at each of the nodes can be determined given knowledge of the external arrival rates and the matrix P. The matrix I − P is surely non-singular as otherwise in the long run the network would become empty.
In a Gordon–Newell network there are no external arrivals, so the traffic equations take the form (for i = 1, 2,..., m)

Family Structure and the Treatment of Childhood Asthma
Background: Family structure is known to influence children's behavioral, educational, and cognitive outcomes, and recent studies suggest that family structure affects children's access to health care as well. However, no study has addressed whether family structure is associated with the care children receive for particular conditions or with their physical health outcomes. Objective: To assess the effects of family structure on the treatment and outcomes of children with asthma. Methods: Our data sources were the _PHONE_ Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). The study samples consisted of children 2-17 years of age with asthma who lived in single-mother or two-parent families. We assessed the effect of number of parents and number of other children in the household on office visits for asthma and use of asthma medications using negative binomial regression, and we assessed the effect of family structure on the severity of asthma symptoms using binary and ordinal logistic regression. Our regression models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, parental experience in child-rearing and in caring for an asthmatic child and, when appropriate, measures of children's health status. Results: Asthmatic children in single-mother families had fewer office visits for asthma and filled fewer prescriptions for controller medications than children with two parents. In addition, children living in families with three or more other children had fewer office visits and filled fewer prescriptions for reliever and controller medications than children living with no other children. Children from single-mother families had more health difficulties from asthma than children with two parents, and children living with two or more other children were more likely to have an asthma attack in the past 12 months than children living with no other children. Conclusions: For children with asthma, living with a single mother and the presence of additional children in the household are associated with less treatment for asthma and worse asthma outcomes.

best high calorie vegetables survival gardening
High-calorie vegetables are an important part of a survival garden. As part of a survival food plan, fresh vegetables are a nutritious addition to any prepper diet. You need calories for the energy you need to deal with whatever challenges you may face. Here are the best high-calorie vegetables for your survival garden.
Top High-Calorie Vegetables
The top high-calorie vegetables are legumes, root vegetables, and corn. Not only are they easy to store, but they are also used as staple foods for people the world over. These vegetables are excellent additions to your vegetable garden.
What Are Legumes?
According to the Cambridge English dictionary, a legume is "a plant that has its seeds in a pod, such as the bean or pea."
Legumes include beans, peas, lentils, and peanuts. A good source of protein, legumes are also high in fiber and micronutrients. They are easy to grow and store.

Different Types of Legumes
With all the different types of legumes, how do you tell them apart?
Generally, beans have an oval or elongated shape. They include pinto beans, black beans, pink and red beans, and kidney beans. White beans include navy, Great northern beans, lima beans, and cannellini beans.
Kidney Bean Precautions
Kidney beans and cannellini (white kidney beans) must be well cooked. Never eat them raw. According to Dr. Josh Axe, "Raw kidney beans contain a toxin, phytohaemagglutinin, that can cause liver damage."
Soak kidney beans for eight hours or overnight and discard the soaking water.
Fill with fresh water and bring to a full boil for at least ten minutes to completely destroy the toxin. Then cook until tender.
For this reason, it's better to cook kidney beans on the stove instead of in a low-temperature cooker.
Most peas are round and have fewer calories than beans. They include black-eyed peas, English peas, snow peas, sugar snap peas, green and yellow peas, purple hull peas and field peas. Some, such as snow peas and snap peas, also have edible pods and can be eaten raw or cooked.
Lentils are round, flat disks. They include brown, green, red, and orange lentils. Lentils are very quick and easy to cook. They work well in soups and salads.
yams vs sweet potatoes
Root Vegetables
Yams vs Sweet Potatoes
How do you tell the difference between the two? According to the Library of Congress, "Yams are from the Dioscoreaceae or Yam family while sweet potatoes are from the Convolvulacea or morning glory family."
A true yam is a starchy, edible root. Yams have a brown or darker scaly skin and light insides. They have more calories than sweet potatoes and are starchier and sweeter.
Yams grow well in tropical climates and can reach sizes of over six feet long and 150 pounds. They store well, too. Properly handled, they can be stored for up to six months.
Sweet Potatoes are popular dishes for holidays meals. They range in colors from golden to copper skins with orange or yellow flesh.
There are two main cooking varieties: firm and soft. Firm sweet potatoes are similar to white baking potatoes. They stay firmer when cooked. Soft sweet potatoes, when cooked, get softer and are easier to mash or puree.
Additional High-Calorie Root Vegetables
Taro root
Rich in vitamins and minerals, taro root is high in calories as well at over 180 calories in a cup. Taro is a tropical to subtropical plant. Both the leaves and the root is edible but must be cooked first. (Taro is toxic when raw.)
Though not as common today, parsnips are another high-calorie root vegetable. At 100 calories in a cup, they are just slightly less than sweet potatoes.
Potatoes are a versatile crop and can be prepared in a multitude of ways. By also eating the skins, you can increase their nutritional value.
Corn is another versatile crop. It can be eaten both as a vegetable and dried and ground into meal.
Winter Squash
Another good source of calories is winter squash. Popular winter squashes such as acorn and butternut squash are easy to grow and store.

High-Calorie Fruits
If you live in the right climate or have a greenhouse, add these high-calorie fruits to your survival garden.
Dried Fruit
Dried fruit of any kind is generally higher in calories, being a condensed version of itself. It's easy to store and pack. It provides a quick burst of energy while satisfying the sharpest sweet tooth.
While most people consider the avocado to be a vegetable, it's also considered to be a fruit. The avocado is a good source of both calories and healthy fats.
While definitely a tropical plant, a coconut is a fruit, a nut, and a seed. High in calories, coconuts are also a good source of healthy fats.
Rich in potassium and fiber, bananas are more than just their insides. You can eat the peels, too. According to Laura Flores, a San Diego-based nutritionist, "[The skin] contains high amounts of vitamin B6 and B12, as well as magnesium and potassium. It also contains some fiber and protein."
The riper the banana, the sweeter and thinner the peel will be. To cook, bake, broil or fry for ten minutes.
A good source of Vitamin C, mangoes also provide Vitamin A and fiber.
Fats Add Calories
While vegetables and fruits are nutritious, they are lower in calories. To increase your calories, add fats to your meals.
If you're striving for food self-sufficiency, you will need sources of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Providing the necessary fats for a healthy diet can come from either animal or plant sources. Some of the best sources of plant-based fats come from nuts and seeds.
High-Calorie Nuts and Seeds
Nut Trees
Nut trees are a good investment for a survival garden. But they do take time to grow to maturity and produce a full crop. Popular nut trees include macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts, and chestnuts.
For a faster crop, try seeds. High calorie, high-fat seeds include sunflower seeds, pumpkin and squash seeds, hemp seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds.
Try out some of these high-calorie vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds in your survival garden. With these few extra additions, you will be well on your way to food self-sufficiency.

C - Expert 2 - Queries within collections
This section introduces the syntax used message locations when collection element is used in a validation rule
Message location supports added logic, which is especially great when dealing with collections; we are able to give the error message only for the cases where invalid XML content was found and correction has to be made.
Usage in short is: when collection is used, query will have to be a negation of the validation rule. In other words, if a validation rule limits the values of elements, we want to give the query for every element which does not fill the validation rule.
We shall be doing the following here:
The rule we made in the previous phase should look like this:
self.Unstructured->forAll(q | q.matches("Ustrd1") or q.matches("Ustrd2"))
The message location where we want to tell about the invalid content given in XML should be everything which does not fill the OCL rule above, i.e. the query should be a negation of the above.
There are three steps involved here:
- Replacing forAll() with select()
- include everything in right-hand-side with operation not()
- Replacing or with and
Reasons for these changes are:
- In a query, we do not want to limit the content anymore; it is already limited with an OCL rule. Instead, we want to find content. Therefore select() is the method we want to use
- not() is an OCL operation which returns the reverse of the content within it. if true is returned otherwise, false will be returned. And vice versa
- in a rule we want to use or as both of the values are valid to be used. In a query, we know that validation rule has been triggered and there is at least one occurrence within XML which does not pass the rule. We want to point to every case which does not fill the rule. Every case which does not return true will contain something other than "Ustrd1" and "Ustrd2" Therefore operand "and" fills the purpose and operand or would lead to incorrect behaviour.
Doing the above will give us a guery:
self.Unstructured->select(q | not(q.matches("Ustrd1") and q.matches("Ustrd2")))

I have a question regarding the difference between stock and flow variables.
I know that a stock variable is measured at a specific point in time $t$ and the flow of this variable is measured over time, for example from $t-1$ to $t$.
When economists compute the ratio between a stock and a flow variable in some cases they use the geometric mean for the flow variable and the unchanged stock variable. Let's take an example: A very popular ratio nowadays is "credit-to-gdp". Nearly all studies compute the credit-to-gdp ratio for year $t$ by using the stock variable of credit at $t$ and the geometric mean of gdp from $t-1$ and $t$ (for example Mendoza & Terrones, 2008 or Dell'Ariccia et al., 2012). But why are they doing this? I know the difference between the two concepts but the question for me still remains "so what?".
Consider a counter example: income per capita. Income is obviously a flow variable while the number of people in an economy is a stock variable. But as far as I know nobody is even considering using the geometric mean or something like this.
Is it just a habit, a practical issue (if we have the data we do it if not we don't) or is there really a logical (mathematical) reason behind this approach? So far I was not able to find a convincing answer and I get the feeling that this is just a method to smooth the data a little bit.
 - $\begingroup$ Welcome to the site. It's a good question, but the title doesn't really summarise what you are asking, and could suggest you are just asking what the difference is between a stock and a flow. You might consider editing the title to something like "Why use geometric mean of GDP when calculating ratio of credit to GDP?" $\endgroup$ – Adam Bailey Mar 2 '18 at 9:42
 - $\begingroup$ Thank you for your comment. I edited to title of the Question. $\endgroup$ – PAS Mar 2 '18 at 9:42
 - $\begingroup$ This is the sort of thing that is supposed to be explained in academic papers; however, it would probably be a cryptic one sentence comment. I am not familiar with this literature, but GDP is just a scaling factor. Just using one GDP data point probably results in a noisier series. By averaging GDP, changes in the ratio are driven more by the change in credit, which is what the authors are interested in. $\endgroup$ – Brian Romanchuk Mar 4 '18 at 13:37
 - $\begingroup$ Maybe another justification for the geometric mean - besides the smoothing aspect - could be duo to the danger of measurement errors in gdp. Looking at the literature a little bit more the first paper that is using the gdp-to-credit ratio with geometric mean is this one: researchgate.net/profile/Pierre-Olivier_Gourinchas/publication/… which quotes a paper on financial crises and economic development/deepening as a source for using the geo mean. $\endgroup$ – PAS Mar 5 '18 at 14:11

From ventile.co.uk:
Ventile can be either dry-cleaned as detailed below or hand washed using Grangers 30 Degree Cleaner
 - Professional dry-cleaning in: perchloroethylene, hydrocarbons. Mild cleaning process with stringent limitation of added humidity and/or mechanical action and/or temperature. Commercial stain removers on a solvent base may be used with some restrictions. A trail on a concealed part of the article is advisable beforehand.
 - We recommend hand washing in Grangers Pure Liquid Soap for Ventile, using the following procedure :
 1. Gently brush or sponge off any dirt or grit.
 2. Close the zip fastener
 3. Turn the garment inside out
 4. Hand wash in Grangers Pure Liquid Soap for Ventile.
 5. Ensure all residue soap is removed from the garment, re-rinse if necessary.
 6. Re-shape the garment on a hanger and allow to dry naturally avoiding direct sunlight.
 7. Iron carefully on a warm setting – this reactivates the DWR treatment.

China's leading rice scientist has questioned India's claims of a world record harvest, following a report in last week's Observer of astonishing yields achieved by farmers growing the crop in the state of Bihar.
Professor Yuan Longping, known as the "father of rice", said he doubted whether the Indian government had properly verified young Indian farmer Sumant Kumar's claim that he had produced 22.4 tonnes of rice from one hectare of land in Bihar in 2011.
Yuan, director-general of China's national rice research centre and holder of the previous record of 19.4 tonnes a hectare, asked: "How could the Indian government have confirmed the number after the harvesting was already done?"
The dispute centres on a controversial method of growing rice that is spreading quickly in Asia. System of Rice Intensification (SRI) uses fewer seeds and less water, but seeks to stimulate the roots of young plants, mainly with organic manures. It can work with all kinds of seeds, including GM, and has the effect of getting plants to grow larger, healthier root systems.
Many scientists initially doubted whether yields of this magnitude were possible, but peer-reviewed papers have shown consistent improvements over conventional rice farming methods.
Yuan told the Chinese press after seeing the Observer Food Monthly article: "I introduced the intensification method to China myself. It could increase yields by 10-15% in low-yield fields, but it's not possible for fields that are already producing relatively high yields."
However, Norman Uphoff, professor of agriculture at Cornell University in the US, defended Kumar and the Indian authorities. "The yield measurements for Kumar and other farmers in the Nalanda district of Bihar, which matched or exceeded the previous record, were at first rejected by Indian scientists, who did not believe such results were possible.
"The measurements were made by staking out 10 by 5 metre plots in the centre of one-acre fields, not sampled crop-cuts from small areas. The 50 square metre plots were harvested with hundreds of people watching the cutting, threshing and weighing because everyone anticipated unprecedented yields," he said.
"These results were achieved with hybrid varieties which derive from Yuan's own innovation of hybridising rice, considered for decades by most rice scientists to be impossible."
The measurements were later acknowledged as valid by both the Indian Council for Agricultural Research and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Last week the government of Bihar, where nearly half the population of 100 million live below the poverty line and 93% depend on growing rice and potatoes, endorsed SRI, saying its rice production increased to a record 8.2m tonnes last year, against 3.1m tonnes in 2010-11. "The quantum jump is due to the use of the new SRI technique of rice production," said the finance minister, Sushil Kumar Modi.
SRI, which was developed by a Jesuit priest working in Madagascar in the 1980s, divided scientists when it was first introduced. However, it is now being shown to work with many crops, often in conjunction with organic farming.
Last week a farmer from the village of Sohdih, also in the Nalanda district, claimed to have set a world record for potato-growing using organic/SRI farming. Rakesh Kumar was said by district magistrate Sanjay Kumar Agrawa to have harvested 108.8 tonnes of potatoes per hectare. The harvest, yet to be confirmed by the Indian central authorities, was said to have been verified by experts, scientists and officials.
Amir Kassam, former director of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research's Science Council at the UN's food and agriculture organisation, said that many people still doubt the success of SRI. "I would say to them, 'go to the fields and see the evidence'. There are now close to a million hectares under SRI and that cannot be regarded as a delusion. It is real."
Professor Robert Chambers of the Institute of Development Studies at Sussex University said. "SRI is an astonishing win-win for farmers and the environment. Some scientists have been slow to recognise it, and have even rubbished it in peer-reviewed journals, but its success and spread have been phenomenal."
