text: Perinatal nursing and neonatal nursing both have a scientific base upon which to base care, and great strides have been made in translating research into practice in both of these specialties. However, barriers still exist for nurses in implementing evidence-based perinatal and neonatal care. Patient, provider, and systems factors that influence how evidence is translated into practice are discussed. Suggestions for how to implement practice change when evidence is inadequate are also discussed. Finally, examples of how the scientific base for both perinatal nursing and neonatal nursing can be more efficiently implemented are outlined on the basis of the state of implementation science in the United States today.

Green Bean Casserole
This is a healthier version of the condensed-soup casserole popular at Thanksgiving.
 - 1 pound fresh or frozen cut green beans or 2 cans cut green beans
 - 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
 - 2 tablespoons arrowroot, spelt, oat or rice flour
 - 2 cups rice, nut, goat or cow's milk or 2 cups vegetable, chicken or turkey stock or broth
 - 1 cup sliced or diced mushrooms
 - 1-2 cloves garlic
 - 1 medium onion, diced
 - butter or ghee and olive oil for sauteing
 - chopped fresh or dried thyme or marjoram
 - 3-4 slices turkey bacon, fried and chopped (optional)
How to make it:
 1. Preheat oven to 375F.
 2. Blanch the fresh green beans by dipping them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then put them in ice water to stop the cooking process. When they are cool, dry them and set aside. (You can also thaw out some frozen beans instead, or open and drain two cans of cut green beans.)
 3. Make a roux by melting the tablespoon of butter or ghee in a saucepan. Add the two tablespoons of flour into the melted butter, stirring to a smooth paste. If it starts to brown, let it get to a golden brown color before SLOWLY adding the milk or broth, stirring constantly to dissolve any lumps.
 4. Bring to a simmer. Once the milk or broth is thickened, set aside.
 5. In a skillet melt some ghee and mix it with a bit of olive oil. Saute 1 cup mushrooms, sliced or diced, 1-2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 medium onion, diced, in the ghee/oil mixture, until the onions and garlic are translucent and the mushrooms start to release their juices.
 6. Add the mushrooms, garlic and onions to the thickened milk broth mixture and stir together. Season if desired.
 7. Put the dried blanched or thawed green beans into a 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with some chopped fresh or dried thyme or marjoram. Pour the sauce over the beans and stir together. Bake for 30 minutes.
 8. If you wish you may add in chopped pan-fried turkey bacon, or put some on top to replace the french-fried onions.


How Loperamide Works: How Fast Imodium Starts Working
Last Updated: June 10, 2020
Authored by Olivier George, Ph.D.
Imodium (loperamide) is a medication meant to treat diarrhea; however, thanks to its mechanism of action, loperamide is used for other purposes as well. While many have used it, few know how Imodium works. It is important that users understand the medication's mechanism of action.
How Does Imodium Work?
What Imodium does is treat the symptoms of diarrhea, specifically sudden (acute) diarrhea, including traveler's diarrhea. It is not designed to be taken for long periods, though in some cases patients will, of time and it does not treat the underlying causes of sudden bowel disturbances.
How Imodium works is it slows down the movement of the intestines. The result is the person taking the Imodium AD has fewer bowel movements, and less water enters the stool. It is vital that patients stick to the recommended doses unless directed to do otherwise by a doctor. These are 4mg for the first dose, then loperamide hydrochloride 2 mg for each subsequent dose until stopping the medication.
Of course, this does not offer a complete understanding of how loperamide works. For that, the loperamide mechanism of action must be understood.
What Is Imodium Mechanism Of Action?
how does imodium workFor most patients, understanding how Imodium works to stop diarrhea ends with a general explanation. However, the more informed patients are, the better. To truly understand loperamide, people must understand the Imodium mechanism of action – or the specific biochemical interaction between the medication and the body. This can be broken down into five aspects of loperamide MOA: pharmacodynamics, absorption, metabolism, protein binding, route of elimination.
Loperamide Pharmacodynamics
Much of what Imodium does comes down to pharmacodynamics. Loperamide, the active ingredient in Imodium, binds to opiate receptors within the gut wall. Through this binding, the release of acetylcholine and prostaglandins is inhibited. This results in reduced propulsive peristalsis, which means it takes longer for the intestines to move waste, increasing the time between bowel movements and allowing the body to absorb more water, creating firmer stool.
Loperamide Absorption
Absorption determines how fast Imodium works. Imodium for diarrhea is primarily absorbed through the stomach, though the intestines can absorb some of the medication. Once it is absorbed, it does not have a significant impact on plasma. Concentrations are the highest between 2.5 hours and 5 hours after taking the medication. The Imodium half-life is approximately 10 hours.
Loperamide Metabolism
Loperamide is metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isozymes, CYP2C8 and CYP3A4. These then form N-desmethyl-loperamide, which is the compound that allows Imodium to work. This must be formed for the medication to act on the body. Such metabolism is considered quite safe. In fact, people can take Imodium while breastfeeding, if taken in small amounts.
Loperamide Protein Binding
Loperamide protein binding occurs primarily in the gut wall. The medication almost exclusively binds to the receptors in the longitudinal muscle layer. The plasma protein binding of the medication comes in at 95%, making this the primary site where Imodium does work on the body.
Loperamide Route Of Elimination
Loperamide is primarily excreted through the feces. While some of the medication and its metabolites can be excreted in other manners, the amount is so small as to be considered statistically insignificant.
Does Imodium Pass The Blood-Brain Barrier?
Because loperamide binds to opioid receptors, it theoretically could act as an opioid in the body and produce a high. However, there is a problem with this theory: loperamide does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
People desperate to get high or access affordable pain medication have looked into how to make loperamide cross the BBB. The only way to do this is to take it in incredibly high doses. Loperamide amount for recreational purposes varies from person to person, with some reporting to need as many as 100 pills to achieve any effect.
How Long Does It Take For Imodium To Work?
how long does imodium take to workHow long it takes for Imodium to work will depend on what the user is taking it for. While the only on-label use of loperamide is in the treatment of diarrhea, some will use Imodium AD for opiate withdrawal or recreational purposes.
How long it takes for Imodium to stop diarrhea is usually somewhere in the range of 24 to 48 hours. However, the medication will start working well before then; the user just will not see the results. For those using it for other purposes, it can range from a few hours to never working at all.
Getting Help
Imodium is a medication that binds to opioid receptors and can cross the blood-brain barrier if taken in excessively large amounts. Anyone who is abusing loperamide or considering it should seek treatment programs provided by professional addiction facilities. Rehabilitation centers can help addicts manage their addiction, craving, and withdrawal symptoms and get clean.

I have ten apples. I eat two apples. I now have 8 apples. I can write that story as 10 – 2 = 8
Let me retell that story. I had ten apples on the table and zero apples in my belly. Now, I have 8 apples on the table and 2 apples in my belly. I can write that story as 10 + 0 = 8 + 2
Let me retell that story. Today I ate two apples. I started with ten apples, but later I only had eight apples. I can tell that story 2 = 10 -8
If someone wanted, they could rewrite either of these expressions to be 10 = 8 – (-2). But just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
For that reason, I don't like this physics equation,
Ei = Ef – Wnc
It doesn't tell a very good story.
It makes way more sense (to me) to write it as Ef = Ei + ΔE. This simply says the energy you have later is just whatever the energy you started with plus the change, or write it as Ei¹ + Ei² = Ef¹ + Ef² This says that what you start with is what you end with, even if you rearrange things to be in different places. I'd even be OK with ΔE = Ef-Ei = Wnc because then its clear that the work quantifies that amount of energy coming in or going out.
Any else think that writing KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf – Wnc is a bad story?

This house has been witness of the lives from several people that occupied it, with the years they are part of the walls that we want to share with our guests as another testimony of the exciting history of this city.
The first record
In the late eighteenth century the house was owned by a French citizen and merchant named Jean D'Anglade, married with Rosa Guerra. There are numerous references in the archives that shows the richness of this family. They owned several houses in the city in addition to the hacienda San José de Cospique. Apparently engaged in buying and selling properties we found his name on various documents that show a feverish commercial activity but also slave trade and smuggling.
The Consul's house
In January 1824 reached Cartagena the British Consul Mr. Edward Watts with the purpose of promoting trade relations between UK and this port, after the weakness of the Spanish administration.
He settled down in two houses on Cochera del Gobernador street turning to Candilejo street.
The Consul supports the independence process led by Bolivar, who visited him during his last stay in the city, offering a miniaturist portrait painted by the Italian artist Meucci as a gift. This portrait was used in 1831 as ornament during the funeral that the city made in honor of Bolivar's memory.
Consul Watts was an outstanding member of the city' s aristocracy, proof of it are the numerous references made by English chroniclers and officers in their travel diaries of the years 1820 to 1830 in which they emphasize the friendly and hospitable attitude of Mr. Watts. He was forced to leave the city in 1833 as it was accused to intervene in the internal affairs of Colombia.
When he leaved the country his son George Burghalt Watts assumed as Vice Consul and took over the house. He married in 1838 with Juliana de Porras.
The next generation
In the census of 1851 from the Cathedral quarter on page 13 we can read: " family of George B Watts that includes among its children a boy named Tomas, son, single, age 6, free".
Thomas B. Watts and Porras was born in Cartagena in 1845 and according to a deed of 1883 stored in the historical records of the city bought "for himself and his family two tall houses adjacent to the accessory one side ruined stone tile wood... located on Cochera del Gobernador street... from his mother by an amount of six thousand pesos."
The scenes described in García Márquez book "Love in the Time of Cholera" are not immune to the tragedy that is unveiled from the death certificate of the wife of Mr. Tomas who died in 1892 leaving five minor children "after an illness that deprived her of life ".
The hardware store
In 1912 Tomas B. Watts dies and the house goes to auction on August 22, 1913.
Two years before the trading company Franco Covo & Co.. bought the adjoining house to move its hardware store and who finally round off the house that went for 7.800 "american gold pesos at 4.30 pm."
Since the end of 1800 in the houses had been established different kinds of shops like the pharmacy of Mr. Dionisio Araujo, a bar and the renowned FrancoCovo & Co hardware store that permanently announced new arrivals of imported products in the local newspapers.
At the same time the building of the Andean Corporation is built in the neighborhood that required the demolition of a house called "the island", because it was the largest that existed in the old city.

Young carers are children and young people who are the main carers of a sick or disabled parent or sibling. According to the 2011 Census, there are almost 200 000 young carers in the UK.
Young carers face serious caring responsibilities. In addition to the daily tasks they complete for their parents such as housework, cooking and bathing, they live with the added pressure of school and, often, a lack of understanding from schoolmates
Young carers have the same rights as other carers under the NHS and Community Care Act 1990. They can also be considered "children in need" under the Children's Act 1989 depending upon whether or not the local authority considers the child's caring role as preventing him/her from achieving or maintaining a reasonable standard of social opportunities and achieving full school attendance.
Am I a young carer?
Are you under 18? Do you look after or help to look after someone at home who is disabled, sick, elderly, experiencing mental health problems or unable to look after themselves for some other reason? If so, you are probably a young carer. We have produced a Young Carers Guide called 'Do you care?'
Where can I find help, support and advice?
Young Carers Assessment and Development Worker
The Young Carers Assessment and Development Worker can provide a range of information and advice for young carers and those who work with young carers. This can include visiting a family to carry out a Young Carer's Initial Assessment. All referrals for a young carers service should be sent to the Assessment and Development Worker.
Telephone: 01443 668839
If a young carer needs ongoing support, they can be referred to the Rhondda Cynon Taf Young Carer's Project run by Action For Children.
It aims to:
ensure that young carers have opportunities to be free of their caring responsibilities
make sure that young carers are not missing out on opportunities that their peer group enjoy
arrange social and leisure activities
provide practical and emotional support
Action for Children Rhondda Cynon Taf Young Carer's Project

The Carers Support Project is part of the Community Care Division. The Project provides support, counselling and information for people caring for others. It operates a freephone Carersline and a carers telephone counselling service. The project also produces a carers pack, quarterly newsletters, pamper days, workshops and trips all of which are free to carers in Rhondda Cynon Taff.
The Project also works in partnership with other organisations and colleagues in the area to establish carers' groups.
Young Carers in RCT put on a flashmob
A campaign to identify hidden young carers in RCT was launched with a performance of a dance routine 'flashmob' in the centre of Pontypridd.
'Y C Young Carers?' aims to highlight the fact that young carers do not look any different from other young people, which is why they often remain hidden and don't receive the support they are entitled to.
The event was a great example of multi-agency working between Carers Trust, Crossroads Care Cwm Taf, our RCT Carers Support project, Artis Community and Zoom Cymru. More than 20 carers of all ages from across RCT took part in the dance routine while leaflets about the support available were handed out to shoppers and people who stopped to watch the show.

Is breast milk considered vegan in the UK? It's a question worth exploring. When answering the question "Is breast milk vegan UK?" there are a variety of facets that will need to be looked at, along with an understanding of what veganism is as a means to answer the question.
Is Breast Milk Vegan?
So, let's cut right to the chase.
The answer to the previously posed question is yes. Breast milk is vegan!
But how can that be? Don't vegans avoid all milk and milk-containing products?
Well, no actually.
Veganism, by definition, is a lifestyle marked by the compassion of individuals towards animals. This can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including the avoidance of meat and dairy along with the avoidance of zoos, the purchasing of leather and more. This will extend to purchasing baby products, so even vegan plasters like those found on our site are often much appreciated by vegan parents.
Vegans will also avoid foods like honey, eggs, shellfish and products derived from insects, such as some food colourings, in order to adhere to a strict vegan lifestyle.
Bearing this in mind, the key to answering the question about breast milk is to understand that veganism is about respecting the rights of animals and not taking advantage of their vulnerable state. It is about avoiding the exploitation of animals and not harming them in any way.
Turning back now to the original question concerning the consumption of a human baby and his or her mother's milk, it may be easier to understand why breast milk is considered a vegan byproduct. By feeding your baby breast milk, no animals are being harmed in the process.
Sure, humans are considered mammals, and as such, some may consider humans "animals" in a sense, but you have permission in and of yourself to feed your own baby. Nothing is being done to you against your will, as may be the case for an animal who cannot speak for themselves when being used for its milk, fur, skin and so forth.
In addition to the above, every mammal species creates its own milk specially formulated for its baby. Goat milk will have the essential nutrients for a baby goat. Cow milk will be specially formulated for a baby cow. And it is well-known and documented that breast milk, by and large, is the absolute best milk for human babies for their growth, development and overall health. It is for that reason that it is often affectionately referred to by doctors as "liquid gold".
Does Vegan Diet Affect Breast Milk?
So, will the vegan diet actually affect breast milk?
Yes it will. But so will all other diets, including those that include meat products.
Whenever a mother takes up breastfeeding, it is always of the utmost importance that she maintains a well-balanced and intentional diet. This could look a variety of ways, including taking prenatals or meeting with a doctor to examine the mother's current diet and making adjustments where needed.
When compared to a meat-eating mother, however, the composition of the breast milk itself will not change, and the baby will still receive the much needed nutrients that he or she needs to grow and develop.
What do vegans need to eat in order to ensure that their breast milk isn't affected? Like non-vegans, vegans who breastfeed will need to take in ample amounts of iron, Vitamin B12, calcium and zinc. Although it is likely that the vegan in this situation already knows the importance of these nutrients to her diet, it is crucial that vegan mothers get these nutrients all the more at the onset of nursing.
The aforementioned Vitamin B12, calcium, zinc and iron can be found in other sources besides prenatals. Dark leafy greens, lentils, mushrooms, fortified non-dairy milks and cereals will all contain the nutrients necessary to help support a healthy breastfeeding journey.
Vegans can even check out vegan lactation cookies and teas to help boost their milk supply and to get the added nutrients they need to nourish themselves and their babies. You can buy lactation tea in the UK.
What Do Vegans Give Their Babies Instead of Milk?
There may be instances when a mother simply cannot breastfeed, or chooses not to, based on a variety of reasons. While we won't go into those reasons here, it is important to note that there aren't a ton of options available to vegan mothers who are unable to use their own breast milk to feed their babies and toddlers.
There are a few formulas available for infants, but some are not recommended because of their soy-containing content and also for the fact that they aren't technically deemed vegan to begin with.
Beyond 6 months of age, soy formula is okay to use, but again, these types of formulas created aren't usually exclusively vegan.
Past the age of a year, the vegan pool opens up and vegan mothers may begin to explore a variety of fortified vegan milks and toddler drinks in an effort to get those vitamins we mentioned earlier into their toddler's vegan diet.
Not all milks are created equal, however, and some choices may be healthier than others depending on your child's nutritional needs, overall health and lifestyle. For milk alternatives check out our post, Vegan Baby Milk Alternatives.
And if you're wondering what milk is equivalent to breast milk, you should remember that breast milk is the number one source of nutrition for littles, and especially vegan babies. There is no equivalent
Therefore, when and if you can, always use breast milk until your baby is of the age when he or she can consume vegan milks and foods as a substitution, which generally isn't until the child is between 1-2 years of age.
If you must feed your baby regular formula, go ahead if you wish. And then make the switch to a vegan lifestyle once your baby is of the right age to do so, usually around 12 months. To weigh the advantages and disadvantages of breastmilk and formula, read more on our blog!
Breast Milk FAQs
Is Breast Milk Dairy?
Yes. The question of "Is breast milk dairy-free" is a common one, and the answer is, no it is not. Breast milk contains lactase which is a type of sugar found in all milks produced by mammals. But even though breast milk is considered dairy, it really doesn't make a difference when it comes to a vegan mother feeding her baby for the reasons already mentioned within this article.
Can Vegans Use Breast Milk?
Vegans can use breast milk in a variety of ways, so long as they have the donor's permission before doing so. Bear in mind, however, that using breast milk yourself, for whatever reasons, may pose a risk to you if you are unsure of the health of the donor who provides it. The decision to consume breast milk or breast milk containing products should only be made with caution in mind.
Breast Milk Is the Best Choice For Vegan Mums and Babies
All in all, the consumption of breast milk for babies is, by far, the best milk choice, especially in the realm of veganism.
Though non-vegan mums have a multitude of options to choose from concerning baby formula and the like for their little ones, the truth is that vegan mums have limited options when it comes to fulfilling the nutritional needs of their babies.
As such you can rest assured that breast milk is vegan and is the recommended source of nutrition for all vegan babies.

Sandringham House is a country house on 8,000 hectares (20,000 acres) of land near the village of Sandringham in Norfolk, England. The house is privately owned by the British Royal Family and is located on the royal Sandringham Estate, which lies within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
History and current site
The site has been occupied since the Elizabethan era, and, in 1771, architect Cornish Henley cleared the site to build Sandringham Hall. The hall was modified during the 19th century by Charles Spencer Cowper, a stepson of Lord Palmerston, who added an elaborate porch and conservatory, designed by architect Samuel Sanders Teulon.
In 1862, the hall was purchased by Queen Victoria at the request of the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VII) as a home for himself and his new bride, Alexandra. However, in 1865, two years after moving in, the prince found the hall's size insufficient for his needs, and he commissioned A. J. Humbert to raze the hall and create a larger building.
The resulting red-brick house was completed in late 1870 in a mix of styles. This section incorporated the galleried entrance hall which is used by the royal family for entertaining and family occasions. A new wing was later added to one end of the house in a more traditional style, incorporating a ball room. It was ahead of its time in other ways, with gas lighting, flushing water closets, and an early form of shower. One part of the house was destroyed in a fire during the preparations for Prince Albert Edward's 50th birthday in 1891, and later rebuilt.
Sandringham House has been the private home of four generations of the British Royal Family. The main features of the new building were bay windows, which helped lighten the interior. Despite the size of Sandringham and the spaciousness of the main rooms, the living quarters were quite cramped.
Edward and Alexandra's sons, Prince Albert Victor and Prince George, for example, had very small bedrooms. The spacious grounds, however, provided room for Queen Alexandra's menagerie of horses, dogs, cats, and other animals. The atmosphere was far different from at home, especially when their father was about. The kennels were a particular delight to the children. In addition to stables for Royal horses in 1886 a racing pigeon loft was constructed for birds given to the Duke of York by King Leopold of Belgium and one or more lofts for Royal pigeons have been maintained ever since. Since the death of Edward VII, Sandringham has been a popular holiday retreat for successive members of the Royal Family.
Since King George VI died in 1952 at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth II's custom has been to spend the anniversary of her father's death and her own Accession privately with her family at the House, and use it as her official base until February. It is an excellent location for shooting and is used for royal shooting parties. Such was Edward VII's fondness for hunting on the estate, he ordered all the clocks to be set half an hour ahead of GMT to increase the amount of evening daylight available for hunting. This tradition of Sandringham Time was kept on the estate from 1901 until 1936 when the new King Edward VIII showed he was "a new broom" by sweeping the custom away.
Along with Balmoral Castle, Sandringham House is the private property of the British royal family and not part of the Crown Estate. Their succession became an issue in 1936, when Edward VIII abdicated as king. Being legacies Edward had inherited from his father, George V, the estates did not automatically pass to his younger brother George VI; the new king had to purchase the house from him.
Queen Alexandra, her sons Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, and George V, and grandson George VI all died at Sandringham. King Olav V of Norway, a grandson of King Edward VII, was born at Sandringham.
York Cottage and Appleton House
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (January 2012)|
The estate is also home to York Cottage, built by Edward VII soon after he moved in; York Cottage was also a favourite of George V. Anmer Hall on the grounds is a Georgian house that was at one point the country home of the Duke of Kent.
When Prince Carl, the future King Haakon VII of Norway, and Princess Maud were married in July 1896, Appleton House was a wedding gift to them from the bride's parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales. The gift was intended to provide the newly married couple with a place to stay whenever they visited England. The Prince of Wales wrote to his Danish brother-in-law, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, "I have given Maud and Charles a small house, their own country retreat – about one mile from here – they will always have a pied-à-terre when they come over to England. I know they will appreciate this very much."
A few months before the wedding the couple went to the adjacent Sandringham to view their wedding gift. "I saw my new house. It is quite lovely," Prince Carl wrote in a letter.
Queen Maud came to love the house. In 1899 she wrote in a letter, "Our little house is a perfect paradise, it all seems like a dream, that we are here at last, that it is so beautiful and light, every single room is so clean and fresh." Their son, the future King Olav V of Norway, was born in 1903 at Sandringham.
Appleton House was on 2½ floors and was built of brick. It had four sitting rooms on the ground floor and the same on the first floor, together with rooms for servants, 20 rooms in total. The house had a conservatory and was centrally heated. The property stood alone, surrounded by forested parkland in Flitcham, Norfolk, adjacent to Sandringham. The open, rolling character of the surrounding landscape inspired outdoor pursuits on horseback or by bicycle. It was also full of good subjects for Queen Maud, who was a keen amateur photographer.
Around the house the Prince of Wales had laid out a garden, designed in accordance with the tastes of the day. Here there were round, oval, triangular and square beds of roses and rhododendrons. There were extensive lawns and tall hedges of yew and box, with paths between them. Queen Maud enjoyed taking walks along these paths. "Her albums contain many photographs that show her wandering alone along these paths – clad in a full-length, white dress, her parasol lifted high."
In 1938, two days after Queen Maud's interment, her husband, King Haakon wrote to King George VI and informed him that the time had come to return Appleton House to the British Royal Family. The Queen had had the property as long as she had wanted, just as the Prince of Wales had said she could when she was given it in 1896.
Appleton House no longer exists. For many years the house stood unused. Its last known inhabitants were King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, who lived in the house during a visit to Norfolk during World War II (1939–1945). A 1968 newspaper article with the headline "The Queen's empty house" reported that a large anti-air raid structure had been constructed around the property during World War II and that this was unattractive and expensive to remove. Since it would have been costly to restore the property to a habitable state, Appleton House was torn down in July 1984.
Public access
The house was first opened to the public in 1977, and there is a museum with displays of Royal life and Estate history. About 600 acres (240 ha) are a country park, open to the public. In January 2012, a body was found on the grounds of Sandringham; it was later identified as that of Alisa Dmitrijeva, a 17-year-old Latvian girl who lived in Wisbech, who was last seen alive on 31 August 2011 in King's Lynn.

| || Colour printing: Today and tomorrow
Author :Bedi, D.S.;Aggarwal, K.R.
Source: DESIDOC Bulletin of Information Technology :12(2) ; 1992 ; pp.3-9
Abstract : Printing high quality colour at a low cost on plain paper may seem like a pipe-dream, but it is not. Over the past several years, a lot of R&D effort has been put in by various companies into colour printer technologies, and the next few years will certainly see some of these come to fruition as products. Colour printing is available now and will be commonplace tomorrow. The challenges and problems inherent in colour printing are discussed. The basic colour printing technologies, viz., dot matrix, ink-jet, thermal transfer, and laser are elaborated. The advent of ink-jet and thermal transfer printers are considered as instrumental in increasing the quality and at the same rate lowering the cost. The predominance of true colour laser printers and other technologies, giving photographic quality printing at desktop, is predicted.

Reducing non-target mortality of Henderson Crakes (Porzana atra) during aerial broadcast eradication by selecting appropriate bait colour
Steffen Oppel, Jennifer L. Lavers, Alexander L. Bond, Gavin Harrison
Wildlife Research 43: 298-303 (2016)
Context: Operations to eradicate non-native invasive predators from islands frequently put native species at risk of consuming harmful substances, such as poison bait. The incorporation of certain colours in poison-bait pellets may reduce the risk of bait consumption and, therefore, non-target mortality. Previous work indicated that birds generally avoid blue or green colours; however, there is substantial inter-specific variation in this preference, and more experimental work on species of conservation concern is needed.
Key results: Henderson crakes did not consume any dry pellets, and all trials were conducted with wet bait pellets. We found slightly lower consumption of blue pellets than green pellets, and substantial variation among individuals. Females (n = 17) consumed 24% less blue than green bait, whereas males (n = 5) consumed 77% less blue than green bait


Governor Sandoval Declares July BEAR Logic Month - KTVN Channel 2 - Reno Tahoe News Weather, Video -
Governor Sandoval Declares July BEAR Logic Month
Posted: Updated:
From the Nevada Department of Wildlife:
Governor Brian Sandoval has declared July "BEAR Logic Month." "BEAR" stands for Bear Education, Aversion and Research, and BEAR Logic Month is an opportunity to help educate the public about living in bear country.
To meet the goal of BEAR Logic Month, the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) has put together a series of public service announcements (PSA), press releases and a resource page on the NDOW website at In addition, the agency will host a BEAR Logic event for kids and is holding a youth coloring contest in a push to inform the public about steps that help decrease bear encounters.
Bear and human-wildlife conflicts often become more common with Northern Nevadans during the summer months, and living in bear country requires that residents take extra precautions.
"Bears can be very tolerant of humans, and very adaptable to urban environments," says NDOW game biologist Carl Lackey. "People are attracting birds with bird feeders, deer with ornamental shrubs and coyotes with small pets and pet food. Especially in a drought, people often make their backyards better habitat than certain types of wildlife can find anywhere else, causing further conflicts."
Bear complaints have risen sharply in the last ten years, due in part to the increase in people living in bear habitat. With Nevada in its third year of drought and the population of black bears in the state increasing, the problem will only continue to grow unless people start taking steps to remove the food sources that are attracting the bears.
"Some people don't recognize that they live in wildlife habitat, but anywhere along the Carson Front, from Reno to Gardnerville, including the Tahoe Basin and associated mountain ranges is bear habitat," said Lackey. "Areas like Galena Forest on the Mt. Rose Highway are historically very good wildlife habitat for bears, deer, mountain lions and coyotes."
Bears are opportunistic and will eat anything that becomes available. The bear's powerful sense of smell allows it to find food that humans consider out of reach. By removing these attractants, bear and humans are less likely to have unpleasant encounters.
When people are irresponsible with their food and garbage, bears can wind up in trouble. The Nevada Department of Wildlife reports that nearly 95 percent of all human-bear conflicts are associated with trash. Bears naturally fear humans, but if they have access to human food sources they may become addicted, lose their natural fear of humans, and even become aggressive.
"As always the main issue is people living in bear habitat and allowing bear's access to their trash," said Lackey. "We've proven that by stopping access to human sources of food the wildlife conflicts almost totally disappear."
NDOW believes that by following a few simple steps, you can help avoid human-bear conflicts.
* Use bear resistant containers (BRCs) and place them outside at least 30 feet from the house so bears do not learn to associate the smells and food rewards with your home.
* Use removable bird feeders (including hummingbird feeders) for temporary placement, or better yet, scatter bird seed on the ground, not in a container or in a pile. This way, bears and other animals like deer won't be able to easily get it.
* Keep pet food cleaned up or indoors. Place horse grain and chicken feed inside lockable metal containers and keep them outside so bears do not break into your shed or barn.
* Use electric fencing to keep bears out of gardens, apiaries and orchards. You should also remove any fruit as soon as it ripens.

We have investigated the defect accumulation and amorphization in14N+implanted 6H-SiC as a function of ion fluence using confocal micro-Raman scattering. Raman spectra are very sensitive to changes in the chemical short-range order and to the formation of Si-Siand C-C-bonds, which are not present in the unimplanted material. The technique also allowed the determination of the optical absorption coefficient. It increases proportional to the ion dose until the formation of the amorphous layer, and this increase is related to the formation of absorbing centers.

How to hang pictures, even big ones, on plaster walls
Q: We would like to hang pictures, some of them rather large, on a plaster wall. Can you tell us the best way to do this? We are afraid of cracking the plaster.
A: With proper technique, hanging pictures on a lath-and-plaster wall isn't a problem.
If the pictures are small and equipped with a wire on the back, use a small picture hook and nail.
To install small picture hooks all you need is a hammer. Gently tap the nail provided with the hook diagonally into the wall using the hook itself as a guide. With small hooks there is little danger of cracking the plaster.
Larger hooks may require pre-drilling a hole. A cordless drill equipped with a drill bit slightly smaller than the nail is the tool for the job. Drilling a pilot hole removes some of the plaster and greatly reduces the possibility of cracking the plaster.
Make sure to drill the hole on an angle that approximates the angle of the path of the nail.
For smalland medium-sized pictures you don't have to be concerned about hitting a stud. The plaster has enough structural integrity to hold their weight.
Be cautious about trying to drive a nail into a piece of wood lath. If a nail strikes a piece of lath under the plaster there is a good chance it will vibrate, break the plaster keys and loosen the plaster from the lath. A "key" is the term used to describe wet plaster that oozed between the lath when applied and dried partially encasing the lath. These "keys" form a bond between the dried plaster wall and the lath.
You'll be able to tell if the nail strikes a piece of lath -- it will bounce back when you tap it with your hammer. If that happens, drill a pilot hole no matter which size nail you use.
For hanging large, heavy pictures we recommend using a wood screw as hanger if the screw can be installed in a stud or a wall anchor if it does not hit a stud.
Wall anchors come in a variety of sizes. They are a two-part fastener, a machine bolt that fits into a collapsible cylinder. Whether installing a wood screw or wall anchor, pre-drill a hole in the wall to inhibit cracking.
For a wall anchor insert the cylinder into the pre-drilled hole, tighten the bolt so that the cylinder compresses and back the bolt part way out of the cylinder and hang the picture. Use two fasteners for very large or heave pictures.
The bottom line is if you have any doubt, pre-drill the holes to avoid cracked plaster.
A couple of weeks ago we wrote about using plaster of Paris when installing a commode. Apparently our answer created a little confusion with at least one of our readers. She writes:
"I just read your column about using plaster of Paris to mount the toilet. I assume that the plaster of Paris is in place of the wax collar.
"Also, you said not to caulk behind the toilet -- leave a 4-inch gap. Is that for condensation to have a way to dry? Wanting it to be very neat, I caulked all around. What bad will happen?"
Neatness is generally good, but you can have too much of a good thing.
Plaster of Paris is not used in place of the wax ring. Rather it is an alternative to caulking under the perimeter of the toilet. Plaster and, to some degree, caulk are used to stabilize the toilet and prevent it from moving when somebody sits on it.
The wax ring seals the connection between the toilet and the closet bend when the toilet is bolted to the closet flange. Plaster of Paris is particularly helpful on old installations with uneven floors because it is not flexible.
Nothing bad will necessarily happen if you caulk completely around the perimeter of the toilet. However, if the seal between the wax ring and closet flange should fail, the gap at the rear of the toilet allows for water to escape so you can discover the leak. No leak, no problem. But if the perimeter is sealed by caulk the water has no place to go and could prevent you from seeing water that might cause significant damage.


The use of linear programming in the optimal design of flotation circuits incorporating regrind mills
Reuter M.A. ; Van Deventer J.S.J. (1990)
Two linear models, the second being a subset of the first, are proposed for the simulation of flotation plants by use of linear programming. The first linear model produces the circuit structure, as well as the optimal flow rates of the valuable element between any number of flotation banks incorporating any number of recycle mills. An optimal grade for the valuable element in the concentrate is given by the second model. Operating conditions in the flotation banks and recycle mills are included as bounds in these models, permitting their possible application in expert systems. The simulated circuit structure, concentrate grade and recoveries closely resemble those of similar industrial flotation plants. The only data required by the simulation models are the feed rates of the species of an element, and their separation factors which are estimated from a multiparameter flotation model. © 1990.

A Simple Lesson About Money and Models
Imagine you are in your high school algebra class and you are presented with the following two equations:
x + y = 20
2x + 10y = 100
Two linear equations with 2 unknowns. This is a simple problem to solve.
Now suppose that your teacher gives you the following three equations:
x + y = 20
2x + 10y = 100
x + z = 5
Note that this is still a simple problem to solve. The first two equations are identical to the previous example. You can use those first two equations to solve for x and y. Then, knowing x, you can solve for z. The central point is that the third equation is not important for determining the value of x. The first two equations are sufficient to solve for x and y.
So why am I bringing this up?
This is precisely how the benchmark New Keynesian model deals with money. The baseline New Keynesian model does not include money. The model is complete and a solution exists. Subsequently, to examine whether money would be important in the model, a money demand function is added to this system of equations. There is a solution to the model that exists. Money is then shown to be irrelevant in the determination of the other variables. But, then again, so was z.
UPDATE: I have updated the post to read "benchmark New Keynesian model" to reflect the fact that some have attempted to integrate money into the NK model in other ways, specifically through non-separable utility. This is, in fact, where I am going to take this argument in the future. Nonetheless, for now, see the excellent comment by Jonathan Benchimol below with some links to his related research.

Essential Foods You'll Find at an African Party
We know these are the African foods you long for. Let the drooling commence.
It's food month here at OkayAfrica and that means that we'll be exploring different African delicacies, sharing recipes, highlighting the best spots for African cuisine, and dropping quick food videos throughout the month of November, so get your taste buds ready.
No singular cuisine defines any country or region. Culinary scenes are comprised of a mix of influences from indigenous groups, European colonizers as well as ancient trade routes in which we came in contact with Arabic and Indian nomads. There are multiple religious, cultural, historical and topographical factors at play.
Food transcends borders but flavor, my friends, flavor, reigns supreme. Our flavors are complex, bitter, spicy and at times sour but more often than not, they call to mind home.
Africans far and wide are consistently brought together by one thing, FOOD! The quintessential way to enjoy a meal is to do so surrounded by friends and family. With Thanksgiving around the corner, it's only right we put together a list of essential foods you'll find at an African party. Few are the gatherings that don't offer these options.
Please, don't read this on an empty stomach.
Our diets are heavy in meat. Seriously—ask an African vegetarian to tell you the story of when they revealed they were cutting meat from their diets to their parents and listen carefully to how the experience went. Cue the resounding, "How can you be a vegetarian and an African? That is unnatural."
We roast it, we grill it, we pepper it, and we stuff it in pie. Meat isn't just served alone; It's a way to enhance stew or accompany everything else we place in our meals.
Chicken is eaten everywhere. Goat meat is a prevalent red meat and we love our kebabs from spicy suya to brochettes to shoukouya to tankora.
South Africans, Zimbabweans and Namibians enjoy strips of dried and spiced meat called biltong and boerewors or thick sausage. Both are notorious for being great cures to hangovers!
Cabidela is an Angola dish comprised of rabbit and poultry. The Horn of Africa's tibs are a cross between stir fry and stew made with just about any meat you can get your hands on. Moroccan b'Stilla or poultry pie, typically made with pigeon, is legendary and a starter at most festive occasions. Kofta is South Sudanese soul food comprised of meatballs in tomato sauce.
As you would imagine, fish is plentiful along coasts. Our fish is dried, smoked, seasoned to perfection, and can be prepared in even more creative ways. West Africans enjoy poisson braisé and they've even made a song about tilapia.
Angolans live for their fish soup or caldeirada de peixe and calulu, dried fish with vegetables.
You need this bite-sized snack at a special event. West Africans enjoy beignets, bofrot, gbofloto, gnonmi, kala or puff puff.
South Africans have dubbed it vetkoek or fat cake. The people of Mozambique stuff their chamussas with beef. Ethiopians eat sambusas. Mandazi is the swahili coconut doughnut. It really is the perfect little warm and comforting sweet!
They came to us from Asia by way of bartering and colonization and our lives were forever changed!
Whether you refer to them as kelewele, dodo, boli, allocco, banana-pão, or makemba, you understand that joy is ripping open a pack of these chips or the way you feel when the smell of fried plantains grazes your nose and you anticipate them in your belly.
The life of an African can not be sweet without rice. Don't debate us. Whether yellow, fried or mixed with tomato purée (You see what we did there?) it is the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
Nigerians and Ghanaians will be battling out who has the best jollof rice until the end of time. The Senegalese will stand by as the originators and other West African nations will simply indulge. Senegalese fish and rice or thiéboudienne is a national dish. Burkinabés eat babende, a mix of spinach and rice with fermented locust beans. Arabic Al Kabsa, rice and chicken, has made it's way to many nations. A Swahili coast specialty is Pilau.
Attiéké is a traditional couscous made from ground cassava roots and dubbed one of Ivory Coast's prized possessions.
Couscous, steamed balls of semolina, is pivotal to a Maghrebi home. Coucous, Foofoo, Fufu, Foufou is also cassava or semolina pounded until it has a dough-like consistency. Some of our fondest memories are watching the women in our families perform this exact task.
We love our veggies—when seasoned correctly with a wide array of spices. Tomatoes, onions and chili peppers enrich many dishes.
South Africans chow down on Chakalaka, a simple, spicy dish of onions, tomatoes and often beans. Ethiopians enjoy gomen or collard greens. Kenyan Mukimo is a Kikuyu tribe staple of mashed potatoes and vegetables. Another notable East African salad dish comprised of fresh tomatoes and onions is Kachumbari. Koki is made from cowpeas and a notable Cameroonian dish as is Ndolé, whose main components are stewed nuts and spinach. Nigerians are more inclined to place okra or egusi in their mélanges.
Sauce or Stew
This is very necessary. No ketchup, just sauce!
Ethiopians and Eritreans pair their injera or bread with wat of all kinds. North Africans are satisfied by tanjines. Runtown has informed us if you are Ghanaian, he hopes your love is a sweet as shito.
As you prepare to celebrate the holidays and enjoy the many, many, many meals that will be placed before you, remember:
"Don't take another mouthful before you have swallowed what is in your mouth." -African Proverb

Is the opposite of 0 infinity?
So no, zero is not the opposite of infinity.
The opposite of a number is its additive inverse: a number which, when added to it, gives you zero.
Or, more generally, subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite.
∞+0≠0, and x-∞ is not the same as x+0..
What is the opposite of 0 in math?
The opposite of zero is negative zero. Zero has no opposite. Zero cannot have an opposite because it cannot be positive or negative.
Is 0 even or off?
The use of the phrase "even number, or the number zero" implies that zero is not even. On the other hand, the mayor is lumping zero together with the even numbers, so he certainly doesn't think it's odd. So what is it – odd, even or neither? For mathematicians the answer is easy: zero is an even number.
What is the product of zero and non zero integer?
ZERO IS THE PRODUCT OF ZERO AND NON-ZERO INTEGER.
What is the smallest positive integer?
1 is the smallest positive integer.

What is the opposite of 8?
-1/8Answer and Explanation: The opposite reciprocal of 8 would be -1/8. The fraction that is equal to the whole number 8 would be 8/1.
Is 0 a rational number?
Yes, 0 is a rational number. Since we know, a rational number can be expressed as p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero.
Does 0 belong to integers?
All whole numbers are integers, so since 0 is a whole number, 0 is also an integer.
What number is opposite of?
The opposite of a number is its additive inverse. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero. (This is sometimes called the property of opposites ). So, the opposite of −999 is 999 ; the opposite of 13 is −13 ; the opposite of 1 is −1.
Is 1 a positive integer?
Positive and Negative Integers Positive integers are all the whole numbers greater than zero: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ….
Is a integer yes or no?
An integer (pronounced IN-tuh-jer) is a whole number (not a fractional number) that can be positive, negative, or zero. Examples of integers are: -5, 1, 5, 8, 97, and 3,043. Examples of numbers that are not integers are: -1.43, 1 3/4, 3.14,. 09, and 5,643.1.
What is a non 0 Number?
A quantity which does not equal zero is said to be nonzero. A real nonzero number must be either positive or negative, and a complex nonzero number can have either real or imaginary part nonzero.
What is the meaning of a non zero integer?
The nonzero integers are [rational] integers other than zero, and thus have positive absolute value; they may be positive or negative numbers. Each integer occurs exactly once: interleaved positive and negative integers (Cf.
Is 0 positive or negative integer?
Because zero is neither positive nor negative, the term nonnegative is sometimes used to refer to a number that is either positive or zero, while nonpositive is used to refer to a number that is either negative or zero. Zero is a neutral number.
Is 6 a positive integer?
Divisors of the Positive Integer 6 The integer 6 is a Composite number.
Is 1 a integer number?
The integers are …, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … — all the whole numbers and their opposites (the positive whole numbers, the negative whole numbers, and zero).
Is zero the first even number?
Zero is an even number. In other words, its parity—the quality of an integer being even or odd—is even. This can be easily verified based on the definition of "even": it is an integer multiple of 2, specifically 0 × 2. … In this sense, 0 is the "most even" number of all.


20 The Mimi Effect
To learn more about Dr. Dunbar's seminars visit James And Kenneth Publishers
There was a beagle in the UC Berkeley dog behavior study named after Ian's first wife (Jamie's mom), Mimi. Mimi the beagle was central to more than one incident that would profoundly shape Ian's understanding of dog behavior and temperament. It revealed just how fundamentally a dog's temperament could be changed, especially confronted with the power of the pack. It also led Ian to develop the notion of subliminal bite stimuli, the idea that there can be multiple factors that lead to a sudden explosion of dog aggression. Finally, as a cognitive psychologist Mimi the person provided an incredibly valuable perspective that was instrumental in the development of modern pet dog training, as popularized by Ian and SIRIUS Puppy Training.

Usage notes[edit]
In order for the term to make proper sense, the subject should have a quantity that is multiplicative (or at least additive). It is preferable, however, to use a positive expression for the quantity, such as in half as much or half as many.
It may be seen used colloquially when the quantity is not multiplicative, as a form of emphatic. For example: He is twice as less intelligent than his father. The 'positive' expression (in this case, half as) is still preferred.

The amount of twist in a yarn helps to define the style of yarn- a yarn with a lot of air such as a woolen yarn will have much less twist than a yarn with little air, like a worsted yarn. It also affects the stretchiness of the yarn, strength, the halo of the yarn, and many other attributes. Filling or weft yarns usually have fewer twists per inch because strength is not as important as with warp yarns, and highly twisted yarns are, in general, stronger. Warp yarns have to be stronger so that they can withstand the tension of the loom.
The number of twists per inch can, in plied yarns, be determined by counting the number of bumps in one inch, and divide by the number of singles (the strands plied together to make the yarn). If the picture to the right, for example, was of an inch of 2 ply yarn, then the number of twists per inch would be 6 divided by 2, or three, as there are six bumps, and it is a two ply.
While this method works very well with plied yarns, singles don't have bumps to count. One way to determine the tpi for a single is to add a contrasting color fiber when spinning it, and then count the number of times the contrasting fiber has wrapped around the yarn. Another method is to measure an inch of yarn, and untwist it, counting how many full revolutions it takes until there is no twist left. This can be done by inserting two paper-clips into the yarn, at an inch apart, thus making it easier to count a full revolution. A less precise method is to allow the single to ply against itself: the resulting two ply yarn is about half the number of twists per inch of the single. Thus one can roughly find the number of twists per inch for the single, or one can use the doubled back yarn as a measure.
With yarn that is both thick and thin, than it is best to count over several inches and average them. This is because the number of twists per inch will tend to vary from the thin and thick sections.
where is the Twist Multiplier, also known as or the Twist Factor. This Twist Multiplier is an empirical parametr that has been established by experiments and practice that the maximum strength of a yarn is obtained for a definite value of K. In the case of ring spun cotton yarns, for example, the following values of K have been found to give the best results.
Warp yarns, 35's and less 4.75Warp yarns, 35's to 80's 4.50Warp yarns, 80's to 110's 4.25Filling yarns, medium numbers 3.50

The tingling sensation? Well, it's just carbonation. All those little bubbles are popping on my tongue, and it makes that fizzy tingling you feel.
Everyone has always assumed that was the case, but just recently researchers at the University of California did some experiments on this.
They treated half of the tongue on subjects with a substance that temporarily inactivates certain receptors. If the fizz came from purely mechanical stimulation, that is, popping bubbles, these folks should still have felt it. Instead, when they drank carbonated water they felt fizz only on the other side of the tongue.
But if it isn't the bubbles we feel, then what is it?
One idea is that pain receptors, called "nociceptors," are in fact the ones being stimulated. The theory is that enzymes in our mouths change the carbon dioxide in bubbles into carbonic acid, which stimulates nociceptors, and that's what gives that tingly feeling.


Curious Kids: how do magpies detect worms and other food underground?
Magpies have a few clever tricks to help them find food.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
Gisela Kaplan, University of New England
How do magpies detect worms and other food sources underground? I often see them look or listen, then rapidly hop across the ground and start digging with their beak and extract a worm or bug from the earth – Catherine, age 10, Perth.
You have posed a very good question.
Foraging for food can involve sight, hearing and even smell. In almost all cases learning is involved. Magpies are ground foragers, setting one foot before the other looking for food while walking, called walk-foraging. It looks like this:
This is called walk-foraging.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
Finding food on the ground, such as beetles and other insects, is not as easy as it may sound. The ground can be uneven and covered with leaves, grasses and rocks. Insects may be hiding, camouflaged, or staying so still it is hard for a magpie to notice them.

Curious Kids: why is a magpie's poo black and white?
Detecting a small object on the ground requires keen vision and experience, to discriminate between the parts that are important and those that are not.
Magpie eyes, as for most birds, are on the side of the head (humans and other birds of prey, by contrast, have eyes that face forward).
A magpie's eyes are at the side of its head and it can only see something with both eyes if that is straight in front of the bird.
Shutterstock/Webb Photography
To see a small area in front of them, close to the ground, birds use both eyes together (scientists call this binocular vision). But birds mostly see via the eyes looking out to the side (which is called monocular vision).
This picture gives you an idea of what a magpie can see with its left eye, what it can see with its right eye and what area it can see with both eyes working together (binocular vision).
Here's how a magpie's field of vision works.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
You asked about underground foraging. Some of that foraging can also be done by sight. Worms, for instance, may leave a small mound (called a cast) on the surface and, to the experienced bird, this indicates that a worm is just below.
Magpies can also go a huge step further. They can identify big scarab larvae underground without any visual help at all.
Here is a scarab larva.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
Scarab larvae look like grubs. They munch on grassroots and can kill entire grazing fields. Once they transform into beetles (commonly called Christmas beetles) they can do even more damage by eating all the leaves off eucalyptus trees.
Here is the secret: magpies have such good hearing, they can hear the very faint sound of grass roots being chewed.
We know this from experiments using small speakers under the soil playing back recorded sounds of scarab beetle larvae. Magpies located the speaker every time and dug it up.

So how do they do it? Several movements are involved.
To make certain that a jab with its beak will hit the exact spot where the juicy grub is, the magpie first walks slowly and scans the ground. It then stops and looks closely at the ground – seemingly with both eyes working together.
Then, holding absolutely still, the magpie turns its head so the left side of the head and ear is close to the ground for a final confirming listen.
Finally, the bird straightens up, then executes a powerful jab into the ground before retrieving the grub.

That is very clever of the magpies. Very few animals can extract food they can't see. Only great apes and humans were thought to have this ability. Clever magpies indeed. And farmers love them for keeping a major pest under control.

Cable ties probably won't stop magpie attacks – here are a few things to try instead
Stylish? No. Effective? Probably not.

Every spring in Australia is heralded by reports of magpies swooping at people. While it is of little comfort to those at the receiving end of a surprise attack, such events are actually quite rare when one considers the number of magpies across Australia, and the fact that they love to share our urban habitat with us.
According to one estimate, fewer than 10% of magpies swoop, and even fewer of these do so consistently. It is almost always males that swoop, and they only do so when they have chicks in the nest. Once the chicks are out the males seem to calm down; presumably they perceive nest-bound chicks as most vulnerable.
Swooping behaviour also seems to vary across Australia – at least according to Magpie Alert!, a website on which the public can report magpie attacks. Many more swoops have been reported in the eastern states than in Western Australia, and fewest of all in Tasmania.

But regardless of their relative rarity, being the target of a swooping attack by a magpie can be frightening. It has resulted in injuries and, tragically this week, the death of a 76-year-old cyclist in Wollongong.
What can we do to avoid ending up on the receiving end? Is any of the advice meted out each year on avoiding attacks actually worthwhile, or backed by evidence? As with just about everything involving biology, the answer is "it depends".
Some magpies never attack pedestrians but go for cyclists; others do the opposite. And some hold a deep animus against posties on bikes, and reserve their fury solely for them. Even more astonishingly, some magpies seem to really have it in for particular people, and will preferentially attack them.
Although Australian magpies are not related to true crows, they do share similar levels of intelligence. US researchers have shown that American crows recognise people who have trapped them to band them, give alarm calls when they next see them, and even pass on that information to untrapped birds who also sound the alarm when they see trappers.
It seems likely that Australian magpies do the same, effectively holding a grudge against particular people. Unfortunate posties, travelling the same route each day and meeting the same magpies, seem to end up on the naughty list through no fault of their own.
Cyclists do seem to invoke more extreme reactions than pedestrians, judging by the fact that magpies appear to pursue cyclists farther. It therefore stands to reason that the best response to a swooping attack while cycling would be to get off and push your bike.
You will of course be wearing a bike helmet, and as magpies swoop from behind, this will offer protection against its sharp beak.
Sadly it seems that the classic tactic of attaching cable ties to your helmet does little to deter a determined magpie, beyond the fact that some strategic placing can help keep them away from your ears. Ditto the idea of painting eyes on the back of your helmet or hat.
More reassuringly, however, magpies really only swoop in the vicinity of their nest, so once you have moved away you should be safe. If you become aware of swooping attacks in a certain area the best thing is to avoid it – even just crossing the road should be sufficient.
If you can't do that, at least wear a hat and sunglasses; these will help reduce the chance of a determined magpie pecking a sensitive area. Turning to face magpies may also help – many birds do not appreciate being stared at, and as magpies prefer to swoop from behind, this may be a good tactic if you find yourself cornered in a park.
If you have magpies in your garden, perhaps the most appealing way of avoiding attacks is to become their best friend. Given that magpies have long memories, a few judicious offerings of mince or similar tidbits throughout the year can help you befriend them, making them much more amenable to your presence come spring.
But don't overfeed them – it's just a friendly bribe, not a full-blown dependency.
Read more:
Magpies can form friendships with people – here's how
If all else fails, simply console yourself with the fact that swooping season only lasts a few weeks. For the rest of the year magpies are peaceful urban nighbours who delight us with their distinctive song.
Bear that in mind, and we can hopefully reach a détente with our feathered (and occasionally flustered) friends. In the meantime, if you are unlucky enough to be swooped, remember to help others avoid the same fate by posting the details to Magpie Alert!.The Conversation

Soconusco is a region of the Mexican state of Chiapas. It is in the most southern part of the state. It borders the Republic of Guatemala on the southeast, the regions Costa, Sierra and Fraylesca of Chiapas on the east and north, and the shore of the Pacific Ocean on the southwest. It is a region of rich lowlands and foothills. The economic center of Soconusco is Tapachula.
The name comes from the Nahuatl word xoconostle, meaning the fruit of the prickly pear cactus. It was, under the Mexican culture, the farthest region of trade. The area provided jaguar pelts, cacao, and quetzal feathers for the ruling classes in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.


OpenOffice Base: Converting data and files from Access
Consider switching to OpenOffice's Base, an open source alternative to proprietary Microsoft Access. In this tip, an expert tells how to convert Access files to Base and discusses some helpful hints for working with Base.
OpenOffice's Base tool provides an open source alternative to proprietary Microsoft Access. But if you need to use both, it's nice to be able to move data back and forth between applications.
In this tip, OpenOffice expert and instructor Solveig Haugland explains how to convert Access files to OpenOffice. She also describes a workaround for changing field orders and discusses how to group items in OpenOffice.
How can you convert Microsoft Access files to OpenOffice Base?
Haugland: You can connect to an Access file in Choose File > New > Database, choose to connect to an existing database, choose Access as the format, and click Next.
Alternately, if you want the data in Access to be in a true Base database, then follow the instructions in this article.
How can users group items in OpenOffice's Base the way they did in Microsoft Access?
Haugland: reports don't offer a lot of control. You can group, but forcing page breaks must be done in the resulting document. You can do it manually with Insert > Break. You can modify the style applied to the subgroup so that it always starts on a new page, or you can modify the table properties (reports are generated in tables).
If you do this using styles, you can save time with each additional report. Create a template with the styles and then import those styles into each generated report. In the generated report, choose Format > Styles and Formatting, click and hold down on the far right icon and choose Load Styles. In the window that appears, select all the checkboxes, then click From File and select the document containing the styles.
How can users change the field order after a database has been created in Base?
Haugland: I haven't found a way to do this well. If you haven't put the data in yet, then you can just right-click on the table name and choose Edit and retype the names and data types in design view. However, if you do this once data has been entered, everything is undone once you save and the table goes back to the way it was.
You might consider making a view or query of the table with the fields in the order you want. Or export the table to a spreadsheet, rearrange the data in the spreadsheet, then bring the spreadsheet back into the database as a new table and delete the old one.
How do you create electronic signatures in OpenOffice?
Solveig Haugland: If you want to create a signature that you can just insert into any OpenOffice document, you should use AutoText.
Write the signature as you want it, with or without a graphic. Select it all, and choose Edit > AutoText. Select a category, name the signature and give it a shortcut. Then, click and hold down on the Autotext button and choose New.
To insert the signature, type the shortcut followed by F3.
If you choose File > Send > Document as Email or the other email options under File > Send, then your email options will take over and whatever signature you use for email will be included.

Barlow's formula
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Barlow's formula relates the internal pressure that a pipe[1] can withstand to its dimensions and the strength of its material.
P=\frac {2St} {D}
P = pressure
S = allowable stress
t = wall thickness
D = outside diameter
This formula figures prominently in the design of autoclaves and other pressure vessels.
The formula is named after Peter Barlow, an English mathematician.
Other formulations[edit]
The design of a complex pressure containment system involves much more than the application of Barlow's formula. For almost all pressure vessels, the ASME code stipulates the requirements for design and testing.[citation needed]
The formula is also common in the pipeline industry to verify that pipe used for gathering, transmission, and distribution lines can safely withstand operating pressures. The design factor is multiplied by the resulting pressure which gives the maximum operating pressure (MAOP) for the pipeline. This design factor is dependent on class locations which are defined in DOT Part 192. There are four class locations corresponding to four design factors:[citation needed]
 - Class 1: An offshore area or any class location unit that has 10 or fewer buildings intended for human occupancy. The Class 1 design factor is 0.72.
 - Class 2: any class location that has more than 10 but fewer than 46 buildings intended for human occupancy; design factor 0.60.
 - Class 3: any location that has more than 46 or more buildings intended for human occupancy or any area where the pipeline lies within 100 yards (91 meters) of a building or a small, well-defined outdoor area (such as a playground, recreation area, outdoor theater, or place of public assembly) that is occupied by 20 or more persons at least five days a week for 10 weeks in any 12-month period—weeks need not be consecutive. design factor 0.50.
 - Class 4: any class location unit where buildings with four or more stories above the ground are prevalent; design factor 0.40.

Commercial Bank is the most important functionary of the financial system play a dynamic role in the economic development of a nation as well as Bangladesh. Economic history shows that financial development always starts with a banking system. In a country's development, the banking systems' contribution is highest in the initial stage of development compared with the other financial systems. An attempt has been made in this paper to evaluate the comparative performance of these two sectors of banks operating in Bangladesh. The specific objectives of the study are to evaluate the growth trend of general business activities of selected banks and identify the comparative commercial profitability, employee efficiency and overall performance of studying banks during 1995 to 2004. On the basis of the analysis considering the above measures included in this paper, it has been observed that the profitability performance as well as trend of general business operation and employee efficiency of the selected private banks was far better than the selected public banks for the study period.

I found this sentence really confusing:
The average bundle price paid was a little over $8.
So, the average is the subject. Paid is the verb. What about the bundle price?
Can we use this form instead?
The average paid bundle price was a little over $8.

_USER_ sorry about that >_< Edited!! – Suhaib Sep 23 '12 at 19:19
I think the verb is was. You can remove the word paid without significantly affecting the meaning, and it's really only acting as another adjective modifying price, the same as bundle does. Unless you "promote" it somehow, by saying, for example, "The average bundle price advertised was 5, but in fact the average bundle price paid was a little over 8, because of non-advertised additional costs". – FumbleFingers Sep 23 '12 at 19:21

In "The average bundle price paid was a little over $8", price or bundle price is the subject and was is the verb. Average modifies bundle price or bundle price paid. In any case, "average bundle price paid" is a noun phrase forming the subject of the sentence.

Thanks for putting in the rest of the sentence - it makes analysis possible.
Leaving out the word 'paid' leaves us with the sentence
The average bundle price was a little over $8.
Here, it is obvious that the subject is 'The average bundle price'. There follows a copular structure; the verb involved is be ('was').
A 'bundle price' is a collocation possibly best regarded as a compound noun:
"...savings based on comparison of Bundle price with price of same services sold separately...." (Google)
and 'average' is an adjective in attributive position (actually a rather difficult type of adjective to classify - but that's not germane here).
Putting 'paid' back into the reduced sentence, it is seen to be relating to the noun group ('bundle price'); if we had 'paid by the people in the showroom' we would see it is an adjectival non-finite clause postmodifying the noun group. The shorter version 'paid' is syntactically the same.
share|improve this answer
"The average bundle price paid"
1) Price is the subject.
2) Bundle is a noun used as an adjective.
3) Average can be a noun or an adjective. In this sentence it is an adjective.
I see nothing wrong with that sentence.
I mean, there are two adjectives (average + bundle) giving qualities to one noun (price).
