Pulsed electric field PEF – the potential in food processing
Pulsed electric field (PEF) processing is a well known non-thermal food preservation technique, but did you know it can also be used to improve product quality and food production processes?
Pulsed electric field processing and electroporation are both used to describe the same technique. The pulsed electric field induces poration of cell membranes – that is where the word electroporation comes from. Permeabilization is another term used in this context. The cell membranes of microorganisms, plant or animal tissue can be made permeable by using PEF technology. This process of electroporation is suitable for use in a broad range of food processes and bioprocesses using low levels of energy.
Increased permeability of cell membranes
Exposure of biological cells to a sufficiently strong external electric field results in transiently or permanently increased permeability of cell membranes, referred to as 'electroporation'. Since all types of cells like animal, plant and microorganism can be effectively electroporated, without addition of viral or chemical compounds, electroporation is considered to be a universal method and a platform technology.
Food and biomass processing
Electroporation is currently used in food and biomass processing. Preservation of food by electroporation is used to maintain color, flavor and levels of antioxidants, while destroying microorganisms. Recently, extraction of intracellular components from plants as well as cryopreservation using electroporation have been demonstrated.
New applications of pulsed electric field PEF-technology
Electroporation has shown potential in pretreatment of sludge and other substrates, leading to increased biogas production. Other applications, such as water treatment, extraction of oil from algae and of sugar from sugar beets are just a few of the foreseeable new applications.
Concrete action will continue to arise in biotechnology like extraction from algae and other cell cultures, improvement of industrial processes, environment preservation like wastewater treatment, biogas production, energy harvest from biomass and food processing like extending shelf life of food, development of novel foods and obtaining new ingredients.
Challenges for use of electroporation in food processing industry
In food processing optimization toward highest energy efficiency and low operation and investment costs is required to allow for further development of PEF-technology.
Mark de Boevere, MD of Pulsemaster: "We are pleased Campden BRI currently has a Pulsemaster Solidus PEF pilot-scale batch system on site for PEF research and private contract services. Campden BRI has over 2400 member companies in 75 different countries. We welcome contact from commercial companies and science sector, interested in exploring specific applications of PEF technology for science based precision processing of healthy, structured and tasteful foods and beverages."
Dr Danny Bayliss, New Technology specialist of Campden BRI: "During PEF processing, short high voltage pulses are applied which induce pores in cell membranes. At low field strengths (<10 kV/cm) pores can be formed in the cells of both liquid and bulk food products. This offers many potential benefits to help improve processes or product quality including:
- Tissue softening – reduces the cutting force required for food products, such as potatoes, sugar beet and carrots. Reductions of up to 60% have been shown for some products
- Extraction – increased rupturing of plant cells to improve the extraction and yield of juices, proteins, nutrients, vitamins and natural colours
- Drying – improves mass transport of liquids for better drying of products
- Brining and marinating of meat products – better diffusion, reducing time and improving the quality of the cook meat products such as water holding capacity
- Meat tenderisation – releases enzymes and protein breakdown can improve tenderisation and maturation of meat
- Reduced fat uptake – reduces oil uptake during frying of vegetable based products
I am excited that we are installing new pulsed electric field equipment in our pilot plant. The Pulsemaster Solidus system will be available for confidential trials during April and May. If you are interested in exploring the potential of PEF technology for your applications then please get in touch."

What Is Nominal GDP?
What is difference between nominal and real GDP?
The main difference between nominal GDP and real GDP is the adjustment for inflation.
Since nominal GDP is calculated using current prices, it does not require any adjustments for inflation.
Using a GDP price deflator, real GDP reflects GDP on a per quantity basis..
Why is nominal GDP used?
What is the nominal GDP for Year 1?
GDP that has been adjusted for price changes is called real GDP. If GDP isn't adjusted for price changes, we call it nominal GDP. For example, if real GDP in Year 1 = $1,000 and in Year 2 = $1,028, then the output growth rate from Year 1 to Year 2 is 2.8%; (1,028-1,000)/1,000 =.
What is nominal GDP quizlet?
Nominal GDP. the total value of all finals goods and services produced in the economy during a given year, calculated with the prices current in the year in which the output is produced.
Why Real GDP is important?
What is real and nominal?
Definition: The nominal value of a good is its value in terms of money. The real value is its value in terms of some other good, service, or bundle of goods. Examples: Nominal: That CD costs $18. Japan's science and technology spending is about 3 trillion yen per year.
What is nominal GDP in simple terms?
Nominal GDP is an assessment of economic production in an economy but includes the current prices of goods and services in its calculation. GDP is typically measured as the monetary value of goods and services produced.
What is included in nominal GDP?
Nominal GDP is GDP evaluated at current market prices. Therefore, nominal GDP will include all of the changes in market prices that have occurred during the current year due to inflation or deflation. … Real GDP is GDP evaluated at the market prices of some base year.
Why is nominal GDP misleading?
What happens when nominal GDP increases?
What is the difference between actual GDP and potential GDP?
An output gap is a difference between the actual output of an economy and the maximum potential output of an economy expressed as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP). The output gap is a comparison between actual GDP (output) and potential GDP (maximum-efficiency output).
Why is nominal GDP higher than real?
What does real GDP mean?
What GDP means?
GDP, short for Gross Domestic Product, is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period.
What is difference between nominal GDP and PPP GDP?
Nominal GDP does not take into account differences in the cost of living in different countries. … To account for the differences in the cost of living between countries, we use the PPP exchange rate for conversion. The PPP exchange rate is the ratio of the currencies' purchasing power.
What is nominal GDP with example?
The nominal GDP is the value of all the final goods and services that an economy produced during a given year. … For example, a nominal value can change due to shifts in quantity and price. The nominal GDP takes into account all of the changes that occurred for all goods and services produced during a given year.
How do I calculate nominal GDP?
How is Nominal GDP Calculated?C – Private consumption.I – Gross investment.G – Government investment.X – Exports.M – Imports.GDPD – GDP Deflator.
What is GDP example?
Can real GDP rise while nominal falls?
If real GDP rises while nominal GDP falls, then prices on average have: … Nominal GDP falling would mean either prices have fallen or real GDP has fallen (or both). Since Real GDP has not fallen, prices must have fallen.

Jamaican Cerasee Leaf Tea
SKU 00009
In stock
Product Details
Made from the leaves and stems of the Bitter Melon (Bitter Gourd) plant, Cerasse is used throughout Jamaica and the Caribbean as a potent blood purifier. Apart from its ability to cleanse drug related toxins from the body, Cerasee is known to lower blood sugar, blood pressure, aid digestive issues and kill parasites or worms.
Though native to Africa, the Middle East and Caribbean, Cerasee can now be found all over the world. The Bitter Melon fruit it produces is incorporated into many Indian and Chinese dishes. It doesn't stop there, the fruit extract is a potent herbal remedy used to lower blood pressure and sugar. If you're interested in learning more about the fruit benefits, click here.
Like the fruit it produces, the Cerasee plant has a very bitter taste. The tea is usually prepared from both leaves and stems. It can be sweetened with both honey and cinnamon--this adds flavor while maintaining the amazing therapeutic benefits which we get more into below.
Cerasee Benefits
Rich in Vitamins A, C, iron and phosphorous, Cerasee excels in detoxing the body. However, its many therapeutic benefits originate from its rich antioxidant and polyphenol content.
Lower Cholesterol
Rich in catechin (a flavonol), the same powerful antioxidant found in green tea, Cerasee has the ability to fight inflammation, lower Cholesterol and protect the heart.
Lower Blood Sugar and Pressure
Although tea made from the Bitter Melon fruit is filled with antioxidants, researchers have found tea made from the Cerasee plant (leaves and stems) have a higher concentration of gallic acid. This polyphenol possesses powerful hypoglycemic and anti-hypertensive properties.
Kill Parasites and Worms
Cerasee's anti-microbial properties have long been used to kill worms and parasite in the body. In addition, it laxative effects also help to expel them.
Relieve constipation, upset stomach and aid digestion
That pizza you had earlier isn't sitting too well in your stomach? No worries, brew a cup of cerasee tea, it's a go to for Caribbean moms. It's bitter characteristics stimulate bile production that helps to break down food and expel bloating.
Flush Drug related toxins from the body
Cerasee is a long time remedy used to flush residual medication and drug related toxins like THC out of the blood. If used continuously over a short period of time, its potent diuretic properties can dehydrate the body.
Treat Skin Rash and Eczema
In the Caribbean, Cerasee is sometimes combined with other herbs to make a "bush" bath that is used to alleviate skin conditions like eczema, rash or ring worms (fungal infections)
Treat Menstrual Cramps
Cerasee Tea is great for women experiencing menstrual cramps. It helps to alleviate pain and cramps.

Adobe Illustrator: Adding a White Border for Window Clings
by Barb Binder, Adobe Certified Instructor on Illustrator
Window clings and stickers often have a white border added around the outside of the artwork. I encountered this question for the first time in class yesterday and here's how we solved it.
- To make this more visual (because it is hard to see white on white), I changed the artboard to a color to a light blue. In File > Document Setup > Transparency and Overprint Options, I selected a light blue in the top color swatch box and checked Simulate Colored Paper.
- Start by selecting the final artwork by clicking on the selection box on the far right of the artwork layer.
- Copy the artwork, and paste it onto a new layer (I named mine White border). Select the copied artwork on the White border by clicking the selection box.
- Fill the artwork with white. Remove stroke, if necessary.
- In Window > Pathfinder, click on Unite to combine all of the individual shapes into one shape.
- Extend the path out on all sides by selecting Effect > Path > Offset Path. Turn Preview on so that you can gauge the distance of the offset and how the corners are joined (I picked Round).
- Select Object > Expand Appearance to convert the Offset Path appearance into vectors.
- Reverse the order of the two layers, so that the White border is under the artwork.

You can use the math Modulo node on mapping vectors to create tilling for procedural textures:
To tile them seamlessly you need to flip tiles in X and Y axis:
For the Tilling X and Y nodes use values between 0 and 1. And to tile them in 3D just copy the setup into Z channel.
Why Mapping node does not add tilling to procedural textures:
Mapping node does adjust tilling for Image textures. This is because image has finite dimensions and repeats itself - the tilling is already "build-in". The Mapping node only zooms, translates and rotates this tilled image.
Since procedural textures are infinite, they have no borders and are not tilled. The Mapping node will just transform them but not tile them.
How and why the math nodes work:
Texture mapping does transform texture space to object space - you can visualize it like this:
This is for Generated mapping, other types will be mapped differently. Generated mapping will map the <0,1> interval to object bounding box. Therefore it stretches with scaling the mesh, but it does not rotate with mesh rotating (edit mode). It does rotate with object since generated mapping will be always aligned with object's local coords. To bind the texture to mesh UV mapping must be chosen and mesh unwrapped to tangent space.
When we split the mapping vectors into XYZ channels, we get access to each axis and can manipulate it:
Lets focus only on single channel (all apply the same principles). Now we output what we get (in the marked rectangle). This can be visualized with a graph function:
What we need for tilling though is this graph:
This is a graph of a modulo function (precisely modulo 0.33..) and will create 3 tiles on each axis. It is mapping the output to the same input locations repeatedly.
To have it tile seamlessly and flip every odd tile lower the graph of half the curve height and make the values absolute:
You get double the tiles naturally.
There are many effects you can do with this:
Texture pixelation with rounding node: How to pixelate a texture in Cycles?
Image blurring with noising the vectors: Motion blur on texture
Staggered mapping with rounding and offsetting: Staggered Texture Mapping

The vibration screen machine adopts tube type eccentric shaft vibration exciter and partial block to adjust the swing. The material screening flow line is long, various screening size. It has the advantages of reliable structure, strong exciting force, high screening efficiency, small vibration noise, durable, easy maintenance and safety in use. The vibration screen machine is widely used in organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, mining, building materials, transportation, energy and chemical industry.
It consists of a screening box, a vibrator, a suspension (or support) device and an electric motor.
The vibrating screening mesh is operated by the reciprocating rotary vibration which is generated by the vibrator excitation. The upper rotating heavy hammer of the vibrator causes the screen plane to whirling vibration, while the lower rotating heavy hammer causes the sieve surface to produce a conical rotary vibration, and the combined effect of the rotating heavy hammer causes the screen surface to produce the complex rotary vibration. The vibration trajectory is a complex space curve. The curve is projected into a circle on the horizontal plane, and the projection on the vertical plane is an ellipse. By adjusting the exciting force of the upper and lower heavy hammer, the amplitude can be changed. While adjusting the space phase angle of the upper and lower heavy hammer, the curve shape of the screen surface movement track can be changed, and the movement track of the material on the screen surface can be changed.

SUMMARY: NASA's remotely piloted Helios aircraft was destroyed on Thursday when it broke up over the Pacific Ocean near the Hawaiian Islands. The Helios is a large flying covered with solar cells which is designed to fly at very high altitudes for very long durations - it broke the world altitude record when it reached 29,500 metres in August, 2001. In the future, fleets of these aircraft could replace the services of satellites for a fraction of the cost. The cause of the accident isn't known.

Friday Afternoon, 200DE
The occipital bun has long been cited as a diagnostic Neandertal trait, but a degree of bunning can also be found on some anatomically modern human crania. Scholars have proposed many explanations for the development and significance of occipital bunning, including hypotheses about variation in nuchal musculature attachment, posterior brain growth mode and tempo, and aspects of craniofacial integration. Because occipital bunning corresponds, at least in part, to underlying growth in the occipital lobe of the brain, this feature may provide insight into brain growth and development in past populations.
This study incorporates both fossil and extant human comparisons in order to better understand the timing and significance of occipital bun development. Morphometric data were obtained from Neandertal, early modern human, and recent modern human crania. Major landmark points and data streaming measurements of the occipital region were taken to capture surface curve data. Cranial capacity and cranial base measurements were also taken to assess cranial integration hypotheses. These morphometric data show a clear differentiation between Neandertal and modern human bun morphology.
Posterior cranial shape in extant modern humans was also assessed using cranial radiographs from the Iowa Growth Study, allowing a true longitudinal study of occipital bone growth. Preliminary analysis of these radiographs shows that bun morphology, when present, appears early in childhood, becoming more defined with age. Evidence of a posterior cerebral growth spurt is not supported by these data. Instead, bun development in extant humans appears to be a slow, uniform process occurring into late adolescence.

GUATEMALA – Archaeologists have unearthed large carved panels in the jungles of northern Guatemala, that seem to depict two beings surrounding a UFO!
The panels were dug up on the site of El Mirador, the largest known Mayan city ever excavated. Dr. Richard Hansen, the director of the Mirador Basin Project, dated the panels to around 300 BC, when the city was at its peak.
Dr. Hansen is speculating that the above panel is of the famous Hero Twins of Mayan mythology. One of the Twins is in possession of a decapitated head (on top of the right figure's thigh), which is likely that of their beheaded father, Hun Hunahpu. The other figure has a headdress with jaguar features, identifying him as Xbalanque, which means "Young Jaguar Sun".
However, while Mayan mythology and architecture is ripe with serpents and celestial deities, UFOlogists are certain these panels reference contact with extraterrestrials! They believe the two beings are not of this Earth, that their outfits are more technological than decorative, and could have acted as atmosphere transformers or translation tools. The item in the middle, if looked at from a tilt, appears to be a craft, with multiple protusions like a cockpit and landing gear.
Mayan culture has long been a focus for alien and UFO experts, due to their astronomy-heavy mythology and advanced mathematics understanding. The Ancient Astronaut theory attributes their knowledge to contact with extraterrestrials.

The Hawaiian ti plant, or good luck plant, is an evergreen shrub of the Agave family. This plant produces glossy, speared-shaped foliage that grows in colors from rich dark-greens to deep reddish purples and maroons. This showy plant produces colorful and fragrant blooms when matured. The good luck plant is a low-growing plant that can reach natural heights up to 10 feet with indoor heights about half the natural size.
Keep the good luck plant in a warm, sunny location. Choose a bright location that receives at least eight hours of partial shade to full sunlight each day. Select locations with full morning sun and afternoon and evening shade. Avoid locations with varying temperature conditions such as locations near heating vents and air conditioners.
Irrigate the good luck plant regularly. Water the ti plant regularly to maintain a moist soil environment without over watering. Allow the good luck plant to dry only slightly between watering. Irrigate the plant until the excess water flows evenly from the drainage system and allow it to rest.
Mist the foliage of the ti plant daily, according to the Floridata recommendations. Mist the good luck plant multiple times a day during the hot, dry summer months. Consider using a humidifier near the plant in place of the misting to maintain constant humidity levels.
Feed the good luck plant monthly using a slow-released fertilizer such as a 3-1-2 or 6-2-4 combination. Distribute the fertilizer evenly throughout the good luck plant's container or around its outdoor planting bed. Feed indoor plants at half strength. Irrigate the feed thoroughly into the soil.
Dust the indoor good luck plant regularly to reduce the potential of fungal and bacterial diseases. Inspect the plant regularly for signs of disease or insect infestation. Treat disease and infestations immediately to prevent permanent injury to the plant. Treat the plant with an insecticide to prevent disease.

Online Exhibits - Wheat People, Part 3
On the Run
"It's all kind of done on the run, and you try not to stop any operation."
--Betty Hoover, Chapman, 1998
After weeks of harvest preparations, the tension in a farming community is palpable.
Eventually, one or two nervous farmers begin harvesting even though the wheat is still a little too green. Then the sun gets hotter and the grain gets riper, and suddenly everyone is cutting wheat. Kansas roads quickly fill with trucks carrying wheat to market.
It's an annual spectacle signaling harvest is underway.
"I like the big trucks."--Louanne Short, Assaria, 1998
As combines lumber through the fields, their holding bins fill with wheat and must be emptied. Grain trucks receive the wheat and haul it to local elevators or farm storage bins.
Usually waiting near the road, trucks are the harvest newsroom. Neighbors and friends pull over to get updates from the driver, and there's always a water jug inside and the truck's breezy shade outside.
Many women took a more active role on their farms beginning in World War II because of a labor shortage. From 1941 to 1942, the number of Kansas women operating field machinery more than tripled.
Women continued to operate equipment after the war, particularly during harvest. Most of today's combine operators are men, but women truck drivers are a common sight on Kansas roads.
Wheat People: Celebrating Kansas Harvest is an online exhibit developed by the Kansas Museum of History.

The concentrations of mercury (Hg) and methyl mercury (MeHg) in sediment and tissues of Barbus grypus and Barbus esocinus fish species from Musa estuary, north part of the Persian Gulf, were measured. The order of Hg and MeHg concentrations in the sediment and tissues of the fish species was as follows: liver > gill > muscle > sediment. In the tissues of two fish species, the Hg and MeHg concentrations were highest in liver whereas lowest in the muscle. In the sediment, mean concentrations of Hg and MeHg were 0.83 and 0.437 µg g−1. Mean concentrations of Hg and MeHg in B. grypus were 1.2–0.624 µg g−1 and in all tissues of B. esocinus were 0.75 and 0.421 µg g−1. Significant correlation between heavy metal concentration in sediment and fish may be related to high variability of heavy metal in the sediment.

Evaluation of Grouting Performance Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography
This study proposes a tomography-based method for evaluating grouting performance after injection. Tomography is a convenient approach for solving the boundary measurement inverse problem of capturing discrete pixels and synthesizing these pixels into a unified image. Four arrays of eight electrodes are installed into large triaxial cell specimens to simulate in-situ crosshole resistivity testing. Sand is used as a base material and a wet cement mixture is grouted into the specimens. Electromagnetic waves are used as a means of accumulating the physical properties of the specimens. Each measured electrical resistivity is considered as a discrete signal. The electrical resistivity distribution is calculated and optimized through an iterative modified least-squares inversion based on a forward solution of Coulomb and Gauss's law equations. Results show that the electrical properties of an injected grout material and its location and size can be effectively estimated from a series of resistance measurements.

Automatically run a program or launch / open a file in Windows 7
As we learned in the previous tutorial, Windows 7 allows you to create scheduled tasks with the Task Scheduler, to automatically perform a certain action on your computer; that tutorial gave you just enough to get started, and this tutorial will explain in detail how to open a certain file, open a web page in a specific web browser, and how to run a program or application and "pass arguments" to it.
Automatically open a program in Windows 7, and optionally pass arguments
Follow these steps to automatically run a program (with or without arguments), after you have started creating a scheduled task (see link above).
- We assume that you have already gone to Action > Create Basic Task, and that you have already define a trigger (a date / time setting, or an event).
- The next step is to select an Action: choose "Start a program", and click Next.
- Windows 7 will now show you the parameters you can pass to the program, from which start path to run the application, etc. - and you are presented with three fields:
- In the "Program/script Field", you need to supply a valid path to some kind of executable file: either a full-fledged application, a utility program, a batch file, or an executable Windows script.
Tech Tip: if you are using a custom script (a
VBS file, for example), you may need to pass the script file's path as argument, and use
wscript.exe instead under Program/script. If you have this level of experience with Windows scripting, you will know.
Pass a file as argument to your scheduled task
The previous tutorial focused on the quickest and easiest way to create a scheduled task in Windows 7, and so we simply passed a file name in "Program/script", to skip a step and let Windows define on its own the even handler (your default browser for a URL, your default mail handler for an email, etc.) But using both fields allow you to force Windows 7 to open a certain file type or protocol with an application of your own choosing. Example: if your default browser is Internet Explorer, and you want to automatically open a page in Firefox, just used Firefox as Program, and the URL as argument!
- After you have chosen your value for program, you need to enter some arguments that the selected application will execute; these arguments could be...
-...As simple as a switch (like "
/safe" to start Outlook 2007 in safe mode with all add-ins disabled)
-...As simple as a path to a local or network file, or remote URL
-...Or a complex mix of arguments including paths, switches, custom variables, etc. In other words, the more you delve into automated Windows management, the more creative solutions you will find to efficiently manage your own computer, or PC's on a network under your supervision.
- Finally, Windows 7 collects another optional text field under "Start in" - this is exactly the same setting you can customize for regular shortcuts, which forces the application in question to explicitly run in a particular path (necessary option if the program is internally referencing relative paths.
- Once you have finished, click on the Next button, and then on Finish to finalize the creation of the scheduled task. The task will automatically run the program or open the file at the trigger date, time, or event you have specified in the parameters.
Caveat: don't forget to surround any path under "Program/script" with double-quotes if it contains spaces, otherwise Windows 7 will consider the word(s) following the first space as being arguments onto themselves. (You will get a notice from Task Scheduler if this is the case.)up ↑


tablespace.
Using the STORAGE Keyword
The STORAGE keyword can be used to specify the storage attributes of the temporary segment(s) allocated for a parallel direct path load. If the STORAGE keyword is not used, the storage attributes of the segment containing the object (table, partition) being loaded are used.
For example, the following STORAGE clause could be used:
The STORAGE keyword can only be used in the control file, and not on the command line. Use of the STORAGE keyword to specify anything other than
PCTINCREASE of 0, and INITIAL or NEXT values is strongly discouraged (and may be silently ignored in the future.)
Enabling Constraints After a Parallel Direct Path Load
General Performance Improvement Hints
This section gives a few guidelines which can help to improve the performance of a load. If you must use a certain feature to load your data, by all means do so. But if you have control over the format of the data to be loaded, here are a few hints which can be used to improve load performance:
 1. Make logical record processing efficient:
 - use one-to-one mapping of physical records to logical records (avoid continueif, concatenate)
 - make it easy for the software to figure out physical record boundaries. Use the file processing option string "FIX nnn" or "VAR". If you use the default (stream mode) on most platforms (e.g. UNIX, NT) the loader has to scan each physical record for the record terminator (newline character.)
 2. Make field setting efficient. Field setting is the process of mapping "fields" in the datafile to their corresponding columns in the table being loaded. The mapping function is controlled by the description of the fields in the control file. Field setting (along with data conversion) is the biggest consumer of CPU cycles for most loads.
 - avoid delimited fields; use positional fields. If you use delimited fields, the loader must scan the input data to find the delimiters. If you use positional fields, field setting becomes simple pointer arithmetic (very fast!)
 - Don't trim whitespace if you don't need to (use PRESERVE BLANKS.)
 3. Make conversions efficient. There are several conversions that the loader does for you, character set conversion and datatype conversions. Of course, the quickest conversion is no conversion.
 - Avoid character set conversions if you can. The loader supports four character sets: a) client character set (NLS_LANG of the client sqlldr process); b) datafile character set (usually the same as the client character set, but can be different); c) server character set; and d) server national character set. Performance is optimized if all character sets are the same. For direct path loads, it is best if the datafile character set and the server character set are the same. If the character sets are the same, character set conversion buffers are not allocated.
 - Use single byte character sets if you can.
 4. Use direct path loads.
 5. Use "sorted indexes" clause.
 6. Avoid unnecessary NULLIF and DEFAULTIF clauses. Each clause must be evaluated on each column which has a clause associated with it for EVERY row loaded.
 7. Use parallel direct path loads and parallel index create when you can.

SPONTANEOUS TRAIT TRANSFEENCE
KEY WORDS: SPONTANEOUS TRAIT TRANSFERENCE,
COMMUNICATION, TRAIT ACTIVATION, TRAIT ASSOCIATION, TRAIT INFLUENCE
This study examined how spontaneous trait transference could effect communication. Spontaneous trait transference (STT) occurs if a speaker attributes positive or negative traits to an acquaintance and the listener incorrectly attributes those traits to the speaker. This study investigated if STT occurs under relatively natural stimuli. Also investigated was whether or not STT is an uncontrollable phenomenon or if by making people aware of STT can aid them in trying to avoid making misattributions. Participants included forty-four college students, the average age was 18. The participants were shown slides of individuals along with audible descriptions in the first trial and then instructed to make correct photograph/ trait associations in the second trial. The results suggest that spontaneous trait transference does occur under relatively natural stimuli and even by forewarning persons of STT and instructing them to avoid making misattributions, the errors were still made. Results were also compared to a related study on STT by Skowronski, Carlston, and Crawford (1998) and found to be similar.
measures for this study consisted of the subject recalling the correct
trait of each photo, the correct description of each photo (self or acquaintance),
and the subjectís ability to match the photo to the correct trait and the
correct description. The independent variable in this study was whether
or not the subject was informed of the STT effect and instructed to avoid
The data from this study was analyzed with an independent samples t-test.
The participants that were familiar with STT recalled a greater number of traits (significant at the.07 level) (M=.71, SD=.20) than the group unfamiliar with STT (M=.57,SD=.25) (see Figure 1 for results). The amount of correct descriptions was comparable between the group unfamiliar with STT (M=.51, SD=.20) and the group familiar with STT (M=.48, SD=.23). The amount of correct traits paired with correct descriptions varied marginally between the group unfamiliar with STT (M=.42, SD=.20) and the group familiar with STT (M=.35, SD=.22).
The independent samples t-test showed that the group unfamiliar with STT had greater difficulty in trait recall than the group made familiar with STT, t(42)=-1.97, p<.05. A second independent samples t-test revealed only a marginal difference in the amount of correct descriptions between the 2 groups, t(42)=.582, p<.05. The final independent samples t-test showed that there was also only a marginal difference in the amount of correct traits paired with correct descriptions between the 2 groups t=1.071, p<.05
The results revealed that the group familiar with STT was able to more easily recall traits than the group unfamiliar with STT. However, they had greater difficulty than the group unfamiliar with STT in recalling correct descriptions and correct traits paired with correct descriptions. The hypothesis proposed that there would be no difference between the 2 groups on the 3 dependent variables, accordingly, the hypothesis was accepted at the.05 level for all variables but not at the.07 level for trait recall.
This study has provided evidence that spontaneous trait transference occurs even under more natural circumstances than observed in Skowronski et. al, (1998). Furthermore, it was reinforced that the effects of STT are uncontrollable and even if forewarned of the nature of STT, one can not avoid itsí repercussions.
Moreover, because spontaneous trait transference still occurred even under more real-life circumstances, it more than likely engaged the participants in many of the cognitive processes that real-life situations generate. Therefore, it can be inferred that STT is a persistent associational phenomenon that affects impressions of people who talk about othersí behavior.
It would be impetuous to conclude, however, that spontaneous trait transference is present in every aspect of life. It does not seem likely that people are universally identified as having the traits they describe in others, also future research may discover other extenuating factors. For example, STT may be less likely to occur in the context of acquaintances, friends, or family members because the communicator is already known to the perceiver, consequently already viewed as possessing certain traits. Conversely, STT may reinforce expectancies unjustly attributed to a person already known. The effects of prior knowledge of the communicator have not yet been examined and future research may yield additional findings.
Nevertheless, the current study has shown additional support that spontaneous trait transference is a robust occurrence that can occur under relatively natural stimuli. This may suggest that gossip and other forms of social communication may have surprising and inadvertent consequences for the communicator. This may also indicate that communicators who want to be perceived in a certain way should simply describe the traits that they would like to be associated with. Thus, it adds new meaning to the saying, "Iím rubber, youíre glue what you say bounces off me and sticks to you."


text: 1. External damage. From the analysis of the operation in recent years, especially in the high-speed development of Shanghai Pudong, quite a number of cable failures are caused by mechanical damage. 2, Insulation damp. This is also common, usually in the case of a cable joint in a vertical or pipe. For example: cable joint production unqualified and in humid weather conditions do joint, will make the joint water or mixed with water vapor, long time R in the electric field to form a branch, gradually damage the insulation strength of the cable caused by failure. 3, chemical corrosion. Cable buried directly in the area of acid and alkali, often lead to the cable armor, PB skin or the outer layer of corrosion, the protective layer due to long-term chemical corrosion or electrolytic corrosion, resulting in failure of the protective layer, insulation reduction, will also lead to cable failure. Chemical: The corrosion of the unit cable is very serious 4, long-term overload operation. Overload operation, due to the heat effect of the current, the load current through the cable will inevitably lead to fever, at the same time, the charge of the skin effect and the steel armor of the eddy current loss, dielectric loss can also produce additional heat, so that the cable temperature rise. 5, cable connector failure. The cable joint is the weakest link in the cable line, the cable joint fault caused by the direct negligence of the personnel (bad construction) often occurs. Construction personnel in the production of cable joint process, if there is a joint pressure is not tight, insufficient heating and other reasons, will lead to the cable head insulation lower, resulting in an accident. 6. Environment and temperature. The external environment and heat source of the cable will also cause the high temperature of the cable, the insulation breakdown and even the explosion.

Definition of mot juste
: the exactly right word or phrasing
Did You Know?
English was apparently unable to come up with its own mot juste to refer to a word or phrase that expresses exactly what the writer or speaker is trying to say and so borrowed the French term instead. The borrowing was still very new when George Paston (pen name of Emily Morse Symonds) described a character's wordsmithery in her 1899 novel A Writer's Life thusly: "She could launch her sentences into the air, knowing that they would fall upon their feet like cats, her brain was almost painlessly delivered of le mot juste…." As English speakers became more familiar with the term they increasingly gave it the English article "the" instead of the French le.

From: Diocesan Communications
Mask Guidelines in Light of CDC, Governor's Announcements
LEXINGTON — In light of Gov. Beshear's Executive Order of May 13 lifting the mask mandate for persons fully vaccinated against COVID-19, parishes and missions of the diocese should observe the following protocols at Mass, beginning immediately:
1. Social distancing rules remain in place (six feet apart except for immediate family).
2. Masks are not required for people who are fully vaccinated, per CDC definition (see below).
3. Those who attend Mass but are not fully vaccinated must continue to mask, and since the new CDC announcements and governor's directives make it impossible to enforce mask restriction, all are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Per the CDC, a person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson. A person who doesn't meet these requirements, regardless of age, is not fully vaccinated and should continue taking all precautions until fully vaccinated.

Beyond the numbers: an analysis of optimistic and pessimistic language in earnings press releases
In this paper, we examine whether managers use optimistic and pessimistic language in earnings press releases to provide information about expected future firm performance to the market, and whether the market responds to optimistic and pessimistic language usage in earnings press releases after controlling for the earnings surprise and other factors likely to influence the market*s response to the earnings announcement. We use textual-analysis software to measure levels of optimistic and pessimistic language for a sample of approximately 24,000 earnings press releases issued between 1998 and 2003. We find a positive (negative) association between optimistic (pessimistic) language usage and future firm performance and a significant incremental market response to optimistic and pessimistic language usage in earnings press releases. Results suggest managers use optimistic and pessimistic language to provide credible information about expected future firm performance to the market, and that the market responds to managers' language usage.

Economic statistics: new needs for the twenty-first century
Selected Papers from a Conference Cosponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth, and the National Association for Business Economics, July 11, 2002. Beverly Hirtle examines the market risk capital figures reported to regulators by U.S. bank holding companies (BHCs) to assess the extent to which such disclosures provide meaningful information about bank risk. The study by Michael J. Fleming finds that the commonly used bid-ask spread--the difference between bid and offer prices--is a useful tool for assessing and tracking liquidity in the U.S. Treasury market. This volume of the Economic Policy Review also features a study by Edward J. Green, Jose A. Lopez, and Zhenyu Wang that describes the methods used by the Federal Reserve Banks to calculate the fees charged for their priced services. Several papers from the New York Fed's July 2002 conference--"Economic Statistics: New Needs for the Twenty-First Century"--are included as well.
Economic statistics: new needs for the twenty-first century - opening remarks
The purpose of this conference was to deepen our understanding of some of the key conceptual issues current facing those charged with measuring the performance of the U.S. economy and other economies around the globe. The speakers discussed recent efforts to improve economic and financial data and explore strategies for meeting the challenges that lay ahead. The conference focused on four key areas: 1) the measurement of intangible capital, 2) the measurement of service sector output, prices and productivity, 3) the measurement of international capital positions and flows, and 4) the use of hedonic indexes to measure prices while controlling for changes in quality.

Evaluating the impact of fair value accounting on financial institutions: implications for accounting standards setting and bank supervision
Recent standard-setting activity related to fair value accounting has injected new life into questions of whether fair value provides information useful for decision-making, and whether there might be unintended consequences on financial stability. This discussion paper provides insight into these questions by performing a holistic evaluation of fair value accounting?s usefulness, the potential impacts it may have on financial institutions and any broader macroeconomic effects. Materials reviewed as part of this analysis include public bank regulatory filings, financial statements, and fair value research. The bank supervisory rating approach referred to as CAMELS is used as an organizing principle for the paper. CAMELS serves as a convenient way to both categorize potential impacts of fair value on financial institutions, as well as provide a bank supervisory perspective alongside the more traditional investor?s views on decision usefulness. ; The overall conclusion based on the evidence presented is that implementing fair value accounting more broadly may not necessarily provide financial statement users with more transparent and useful reporting. Additionally, financial stability may be negatively impacted by fair value accounting due to the interconnectedness of financial institutions, markets and the broader economy. The analysis suggests that the current direction in which accounting standard setters and bank regulators are moving may represent a possible solution to address these concerns. U.S. accounting standard setters have recently proposed that fair value, along with enhanced disclosures, be applied in a more targeted manner. Bank regulators are developing new supervisory tools and approaches which may alleviate some of the potential negative impact of fair value on financial stability. Additional policy implications and areas for future study are suggested.

Uncertain litigation cost and seller behavior: Evidence from an auditing game
This paper reports the results of two experiments, each consisting of six sessions, designed to investigate difficulties that arise in estimating expected litigation costs in an auditing game. In each experimental session, the game consists of a series of periods in which sellers submit sealed offers to computerized buyers and, if hired, choose an effort level (low or high). The effort level affects the certain (direct) and uncertain (litigation) costs of performing the engagement. Across the two experiments, we vary the uncertainty surrounding the determination of the expected litigation cost. Our results strongly suggest that cognitive limitations hinder sellers' abilities to estimate total expected litigation costs. Across both experiments we observe a nontrivial number of suboptimal effort choices. Moreover, as the uncertainty of determining the expected litigation cost increases, the frequency of observed fee offers below the total expected cost of an engagement increases markedly.

Expensing stock options
Many market commentators argue that companies should expense the stock options they give their employees. Will expensing give investors better information about what companies earn and spend?
AUTHORS: Haubrich, Joseph G.


ane H10-3 LH2/LOX upper stage. This stage has a gross mass of 12,310 kg and dry mass of 1,570 kg, at a 445 s Isp. I'll round off the mass values to 12,300 kg and 1,600 kg, so 10,700 kg of propellant.
 The delta-v to insert into lunar orbit is 900 m/s, and the translunar injection(TLI) delta-v is 3,140 m/s making up the 4,040 m/s delta-v to go from LEO to low lunar orbit(LLO), as shown in the table above.
 Use 9 mT for the crewed mass of the Orion, and 13.7 mT for the SEV plus lander. Now burn only 6.9 mT of propellant for the lunar insertion, retaining 3.8 mT of the propellant after the lunar orbit insertion in order to be able to return Orion back to Earth. Then:
445*9.81ln(1 + 6.9/(1.6 + 9 + 13.7 + 3.8)) = 960 m/s, sufficient for lunar orbit insertion.
 Now for the return of the Orion, we have:
445*9.81ln(1 + 3.8/(1.6 + 9)) = 1,340 m/s, sufficient to go from low lunar orbit back to LEO, according to the table above. (Actually other sources give the required delta-v to break lunar orbit as only 900 m/s, same as to enter orbit, so it may be possible to make this stage even smaller.)
 Now we need a stage to do the translunar injection(TLI), requiring 3,140 m/s delta-v. The Centaurs have the best Isp and mass ratio of any upper stages so we'll use those. You could use two of them firing together in parallel or get better mass to TLI by firing them serially. For simplicity I'll use the twin, parallel Centaur format. Rounding off, the Centaur has 21 mT propellant and 2 mT dry mass, with 451 s Isp. So two together would be 42 mT propellant and 4 mT dry mass. The Orion, SEV, and cryogenic stages together mass 35 mT. Then:
451*9.81ln(1 + 42/(4 + 35)) = 3,230 m/s, sufficient for TLI.
 Then the total mass that needed to be lofted to orbit would be 81 mT. The leeway between this and the 95 mT, and likely higher, payload capacity of the SLS would probably allow even hypergolics to be used at least for the departure stages, both from the lunar surface and from lunar orbit.
Increasing Mass Ratio to Improve Performance.
 An even better option than the twin Centaurs would be to use the proposals of ULA (United Launch Alliance) to scale the Centaurs up larger, widen their diameters, and use lightweight aluminum-lithium instead of the steel now used. ULA suggests by doing this their mass ratio can be increased from 10 to 1 to 20 to 1. This is discussed by Jon Goff on his site, Selenian Boondocks.
 Scaling a rocket stage up is known to increase mass ratio. Widening them improves mass ratio because the closer a tank is to sphere the better the storage efficiency, a sphere having the best mass efficiency. And in regards to strength compared to weight, Al-Li can be as much as twice as good as steel.
 These weight saving methods should also be applied to the smaller cryogenic stages to improve their performance. For instance the Ariane cryogenic stages I used above may be able to reach 10 to 1 mass ratios by following this. ULA has discussed improving mass ratio as the best way to improve performance at the NewSpace 2012 conference.
 A Centaur-style stage with these weight saving techniques applied at a 40 mT propellant load and 2 mT dry mass using the best vacuum Isp for a RL-10 series engine at 465.5 s can transport 5 mT from LEO to the Moon and back as a single stage:
465.5*9.81ln(1 + 40/(2 + 5)) = 8,700 m/s, sufficient for the round-trip according to the table above.
 Actually since the delta-v of a launch to LEO is just a little more than this delta-v for a round-trip lunar mission, I like to think of this example as a stealth SSTO. ULA in maximizing the mass ratio of a Centaur-style stage while at the same time using the highest Isp engine would unwittingly also create a SSTO, capable of significant payload to orbit.
 For this SSTO to have an engine that can operate at sea level, the nozzle extension would have to be retracted at launch and extend while the engine is firing. According to Henry Spencer, this has already been successfully tested.
RL-10-B2 with nozzle retracted.
2001: A Space Odyssey.
 Another version of this high mass ratio upper stage would put it in the from of a sphere. Since a sphere has the best mass efficiency for a tank this would get an even better mass ratio, and could carry more payload. This would be most useful for the lunar transport case since you would not have to worry about the high air drag of a spherical launcher as in the ground launched case.
Aries Lunar Shuttle.
 This would be interesting since it could serve as an homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Update, Sept. 28, 2013:
 Finally, NASA has acknowledged that the Block 1, first version of the SLS to launch in 2017 will have a 90+ mT payload capacity not the 70 mT always stated by NASA:
SLS Dual Use Upper Stage (DUUS).
 This is important since it means we will have the capability to do manned lunar landing missions by the 2017 first launch of the SLS:

 1. Hi Bob;
 Last I heard, and it was sometime ago, there were serious thrust instabilities with the 5-segment SRB design, vs the 4 segment design that flew with the shuttle. Yes, it'll lift a lot more. No, it's not at all certain it'll really work. I may have obsolete info, but last I heard, I'd consider it a show-stopper for that particular SRB. That's not a problem you can solve with dampers: sooner or later, it'll blow up.
 2. OK. I had heard about it for the Ares I in regards to launching crew. In any case I would prefer the SLS not be used for crew anyway. For manned BEO missions, I'd prefer a separate manned launcher to get the crew to orbit.

 3. I've been informed by email that in the section "A Simple, Low Cost Upgrade" I didn't consider the heavier core stage compared to the ET to explain the reduced SLS payload compared to the shuttle.
 The shuttle did have a payload capacity of 30 mT, before it was limited to under 25 mT for safety considerations, this even when the ET still weighed 30 mT. For a fueled orbiter mass of 100+, this is a total of 160+ mT to an elliptical orbit, prior to the OMS burn(s).
 Then for the SLS, with a 63 mT core stage and an added 2 mT cryogenic upper stage, we would still be able to get 95+ mT to LEO. Again this is just for the Block 0 SLS with the added cryogenic stage.
 Then with the Block 1 if it really does have the increased payload to 95 mT, then adding on the small cryogenic stage would give it a payload capacity to ca. 120 mT.

1. Anybody have any suggestions regarding the DAP charting method?
 I learned narrative charting in LPN school, and am working agency right now, and they use DAP, but nobody is really able to explain to me exactly what goes in each section.
 Most of the charting that I have read from the other nurses seems to be a lot of repetition, and I don't think that is exactly what is supposed to be included.
 Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

 Found the information at work, after careful searching! Just FYI, in case anybody is interested.
 DAP Charting
 Action Required:
 1. Document on Nurse's Notes form.
 2. Address each Care Plan problem and its components on a rotational basis each month, using DAP format.
 3. Data, Assessment, and Plan (DAP) Documentation:
 Each narrative nursing note entry that addresses either a Care-Plan problem or Clinical Situation will be documented by:
 A. Writing the Date, time of entry, and name of Care-Plan problem/Clinical situation.
 D: Data - 01/01/01 - 1000 - Painful L heel.
 Enter all pertinent subjective and objective information that is gathered. Data collection includes the nursing history, physical examination, laboratory data and diagnostic tests, and information from health team members, the resident's family and significant others.
 A: Assessing - Signs and symptoms of pressure areas.
 This is the analysis, logical examination of, and professional judgment about assessment data used in the diagnostic process of forming an opinion.
 P: Planning - Inform MD of change of skin integrity. monitor skin and pressure areas, and care for skin per MD orders.
 Enter what you plan to do about the problem, based upon your assessment.
 The only time to use terms such as "problem continues: no changes made" is if all areas of the care plan problem remain current.
 In that case, add the word "because" to your statement.
 Example: "The care plan will continue without change because the cognitive function will not improve above present status."
 4. This is the time to make ANY care-plan additions/adjustments. Do not wait for a staffing date.
 5. Sign and title closure of entry.

The purpose of calf starter is to transition the calf from the milk–feeding period to the dry feeding period. Calf starter is very important to healthy rumen development, good body growth and successful weaning of the calf.
Calf starter must be palatable and nutritious. Do not use urea in starter feeds because the calf cannot digest it properly. The energy, protein, minerals and vitamins must meet the requirements of Canada's Nutrition Research Council (NRC). According to Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle, specifications for dry matter starter feeds include:
- 20% crude protein
- 0.7% calcium
- 0.45% phosphorus
- 4,000 IU/kg Vitamin A
- 600 IU/kg Vitamin D
- 25 IU/kg Vitamin E
Calf starter should be offered around day five in a shallow bucket. Start off with a handful and gradually increase that amount as the calf begins to consume all that is in the bucket. Calves will eat more if they can feel the bottom of the bucket. All buckets should be should be emptied and refreshed daily with clean feed. Keep calves on starter until they achieve 70–80 kg (155–175 lb.) bodyweight, then gradually switch them to the corn over one to two weeks.
Calf starter containing a lot of molasses may pose a problem in the winter as it could freeze. In the summer, it can clump because of the hot humid weather and may attract a lot of flies. Pelleted calf starter can crumble which makes it unpalatable to the calf, so it is even more important to refresh this starter daily.
When calves are consuming 1 kg (2 lbs) of calf starter a day for three consecutive days, the weaning process can begin.

Now here are the things you'll need to make the bracelet.
Now here are the steps to make the bracelet!!!!
1. Cut a long strand of string and split it in half to make a loop and hook it on a safety pin and then connect the safety pin to a sturdy surface so when you pull the string, it won't loosen (as you can see, I used my carpet).
2. Take string #1 and put in over string #2 and then circle string #1 back around to put it under string #2. Then give string #1 a pull and that should make a knot.
3. Then you do the same thing with string #1 except instead of going over then under, you go under then over. Then give string #1 a pull and that should make a knot.
4. Now its time for my favorite part!! Adding the beads!!! So this is so easy, you just repeat steps 2 and 3 except now you have a bead.
5. Keeping adding beads by repeating steps 2-4 and you'll have a cute bracelet in no time!!!

Fun : Stitching video frames
Traditionally, using Autopano to create panoramas involves two major steps: the photo shoot and the stitching.
The first step seems to be absolutely necessary; without it, how do we get images we can match up and make into panoramas? There is an alternative, however... Video!
Why not give Autopano video images to stitch? When a camera moves, a scene dissolves into a series of images than can be matched up. The resulting panorama can be quite interesting.
Here's an example of some (sadly) famous footage that could be used for this type of project:
This opens up a new world: no longer do we CREATE panoramas from nothing; we can FIND panoramas hidden in videos!
Using videos in Autopano sounds like a fun idea, but, you'll say, there's a problem. Autopano can only handle images, not video.
Of course, so let's give it images, and I'll show you how to extract frames from a video using a free, high-powered tool called FFmpeg.
How to extract images
FFmpeg is a command line tool available for all platforms whose main purpose is to encode and decode video flows and convert them.
However, it is also capable of performing more exotic operations like extracting frames from a video.
The official FFmpeg project site has very thorough documentation for Windows and MacOSX users. The commands discussed in this tutorial are functional on Linux.
We have a video entitled jfk.mp4 which runs at 25 frames per second. Autopano doesn't need all the frames; one per second of film will be quite enough. Here is the command line, explained:
ffmpeg -i jfk.mp4 -r 1 frames/jfk-frame-%03d.jpg
 - -i jfk.mp4: input file
 - -r 1: option specifying the number of frames per second (one in this example)
 - frames/jfk-frame-%03d.jpg: template for filenames to be generated
Image output files are placed in the previously-created directory frames/.
jfk-frame-%03d.jpg is a name template which tells ffmpeg how to name the images that are generated and which format to encode them in.
Here the images will be in jpeg format and will be assigned 3-digit numbers including 0 (which is useful for sequencing them). Here are the contents of the directory once the operation is finished:
Tutorial5 framesDir.png
And there you go! Note that each jpeg file includes the image's position in the video in seconds, which can be useful later on. (This is of course linked to the value assigned to the -r option in ffmpeg.)
Icon attention.png For long videos, the name template will need to be changed, replacing %03d (up to 999 images) with %04d (up to 9999 images, or 2h46m39s at one image per second), or with greater values if necessary.
Finding Panoramas
Now that we know how to extract frames from a video, we still have to find panoramas. There are two possibilities: either you've located a sequence in a video that would make a nice panorama, or or you would rather let Autopano find one for you, something it does very well, as we shall see:
 - In the first example, I've located a section in the video jfk.mp4 between 19s and 34s that seems suitable for a panorama. I drag all the files from jfk-frame-19.jpg through jkf-frame.jpg to Autopano and stitch a panorama.
 - In the second example, all the frames are extracted from a video and placed in a file, and the file is dragged to Autopano. Detection finds various panoramas and classifies them by the number of images they contain.
 With this method, most interesting panoramas generally end up at the top of the list. The screenshot below shows the product of 419 frames taken from an archival film of the Second World War and input in Autopano for detection.
 Note : Some panoramas are the result of a slight camera movement and are not at all interesting. On the other hand, some reveal particularly intriguing scenes.
Autopano finding panormas in the video's frames
Panoramas from before we knew how to make them
The example in the preceding paragraphs illustrates an idea: Extracting panoramas from videos made in an era when panoramas did not yet exist.
Here are some interesting panoramas where historic events can be seen as never before!
Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
Obviously, the quality of the rendering is not at all comparable to panoramas created from photos taken with modern equipment. But it should be understood that the interest of historical panoramas does not lie in the quality of picture, but in rather in the visual content that has never been published before.
Here are some panoramas created from a documentary film integrating footage from the Second World War (source: _URL_
Normandy Landing - 1944
Bombing of a French City - 1944
Bombing of a French City - 1944
Panoramas of places where no man has gone before
No one has gone to Mars yet to take panoramas. However, with Autopano, we can make good use of photos and films taken by the Mars Rover. The following film is especially interesting for our purposes:
The Surface of Mars (source: _URL_
Using the principal explained above, here is the panorama created from the video:
Panorama of the Surface of Mars
Closing film credits
The movie ends, the credits roll, and you can't quite read it all. Don't worry, you're normal! If you've recorded the movie, you keep hitting pause/play, rewind...and getting frustrated. Those days are over!
Here is an excerpt from the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" film. The frames were extracted and Autopano was used to assemble them.
All you have to do now is print it out on a parchment scroll and unroll it at your leisure.
Example of Closing Film Credits (source: "Pirates of the Caribbean")
Sports: A play unfolds
A panorama taken during a sporting event will always be a picture of a given moment. It would be very difficult to take a picture of an entire play. That's exactly what video is for. What happens if we apply the above method of photo stitching to a sports video?
Let's take one of Zinedine Zidane's best-executed goals. Here's the recap:
1. The goalie clears the ball, which is then deflected off a player's head
2. Zidane kicks the ball on the fly at 35 meters from the goal
3. The opposing goalie is tricked
Video of a goal by Zinedine Zidane (source: _URL_
The panorama created from the video merges 3 phases of the play:
Zinedine Zidane's Goal
This tutorial presents a new use of Autopano: extracting images from a video. These images are usually of much lower quality than photographs, and often prove to be blurred.
It is never possible to make them into panoramas rendered perfectly down to the last pixel, even with HD quality film. Their primary interest lies mostly in the content that can be discovered, as we have seen.
You've just learned how a new world is opening up, limited only by your imagination. It's time to dust off those old movies from your vacation and begin your quest for hidden panoramas...Have fun!

Italianate Style
historic view of Fort Mason commanding officer's residence
Fort Mason's commanding officer's residence, constructed in 1877 in the Italianate style.
History of the Style
The Italianate style, most prevalent in America between the 1850s and the 1880s, was inspired by rambling, informal Italian farmhouses and Italian-style villa architecture. The Italianate style placed an emphasis on the vertical orientation of the building, as if someone was pulling the top of the building up, and as if the building was made of putty, as it stretched upwards, the windows and door frames became narrower and attenuated. The dominant characteristic of the Italianate style was the low, overhanging roof with decorative eave brackets; there was often much decorative detail applied to the building just at the roof line. The windows were accentuated with thick, decorative hoods and the front entrances were often highlighted with a tower, a cupola or a projecting porch.
Italianate buildings were more playful and decorative than the earlier Greek Revival buildings and their floor plans designs were often asymmetrical. This style's popularity spread quickly across the country, partially as a result of newly-available building pattern books. These books, once considered too costly to reproduce, were now less expensive so families and builders alike could use them as reference manuals in designing their own buildings.
Italianate buildings at Golden Gate
While the civilian Italianate buildings in San Francisco were often wildly colorful and ornately decorated, the army's version of Italianate represented a more restrained and paired-down style. In both cases at the park - the Fort Mason Officers' Club and the Presidio Sutler's Buildingthe buildings were unique and not constructed from the standard army quartermaster plans. These two buildings were also originally constructed as residences and were both located in a highly visible part of their post.
The Fort Mason Officers' Club (Building 1), located on Franklin Street at Fort Mason, was originally built as the post's commanding officers' residence in 1877. This Italianate building has a hipped roof that extends past the buildings sides, with wooden decorated brackets. The windows are long and narrow and are outlined on all sides with thick moldings.
The Presidio Sutler's Building (Building 116) was built in 1885 as both a store and residence for the post's sutler, the man who sold goods and supplies to the soldiers. This building, located on Sheridan Road, has a hipped roof with a central, pedimented (triangular) element, decorative frieze under the roof line and a series of double pairs of multi-paned windows with decorative moldings. The building's design emphasizes its verticality.
(Return to the Guide of Architectural Styles at Golden Gate).
Fort Mason Officers' Quarters
The Italianate elements of the Fort Mason Officers' Club:
1. Overhanging roof with decorative eave brackets
2. Thick, decorative window moldings
3. Decorative frieze band at 2nd floor level
4. Projecting wood-frame "porte cochere" (car port)
historic photo of the Presidio sutlers building
This circa 1938 photo of the Presidio Sutler's Building shows the building's original Italianate features and the style's emphasis on verticality.

Students - Room 11 Year 4
Welcome to Room 11! My name is Marnie Smith and I have been given the privilege of teaching Year 4 in 2020! I absolutely love teaching and have been teaching since 2012. This will be my fifth year at Hannans Primary School. I have previously taught Years 3, 4 and 5.
I believe in creating a safe, supportive and fair classroom environment where everyone feels like they belong. I understand that progress may happen at different times and in different ways for each individual student. I want to ensure each student strives to achieve their personal best and therefore have high expectations for all students regarding behaviour, work and participation.
I am very excited to be part of 1:1 iPads in 2020. Students today need the knowledge, skills and confidence to make ICT work for them in school and beyond. I am looking forward to assisting them in doing this.
Room 11's library day is on FRIDAY.
The current timetable for Room 11's specialist classes is as follows:
I'm using Class Dojo to keep parents in the loop this year! I'll share photos from class, important updates and wonderful moments. If you have not already signed up, I encourage you to do so.
I have an 'open door' policy. So, if you have any worries, concerns or you just want to talk about how your child is progressing, please pop in and see me so we can discuss or arrange a more suitable time.
Mrs Marnie Smith

Aramoana Spit Wind Statistieken, October gemiddelde vanaf 2006
According to the model, the prevailing wind at Aramoana Spit blows from the ENE. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Aramoana Spit. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more deep blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical October, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 1.0% of the time (0 days each October) and blows offshore just 6% of the time (1 days in an average October). Over an average October wind stronger than >40kph (25mph) was predicted for only a single days at Aramoana Spit

The new owners want to remove the listed cranes in front of the Power Station in order to use the jetty for the removal of spoil from tunnelling the Northern Line Extension ( NLE ). While it might be necessary to dismantle the cranes in order to restore there is no need to tie the timetable to the NLE works. The NLE will take years to complete even if it happens. Like the Euston Arch there is a real danger once removed they will never be put back. There is half a mile of river front where a more suitable purpose built jetty could be situated. It looks like yet another ploy to slowly clear the site of any historic or heritage obstacles to maximising profitssee demolition by stealth.
Coal was usually brought to the Battersea Power Station by collier ships, and unloaded by cranes, which are still intact on the station's riverfront. These two cranes were used to unload coal from barges for Battersea Power Station, and despite 25 years of disuse are in remarkably complete condition. But obviously the owners of the Battersea Power Station don't care much about that. They've already got permission to take the cranes down.
The jetty facilities used two cranes to offload coal, with the capacity of unloading two ships at one time, at a rate of 480 tonnes an hour. Coal was also delivered by rail to the east of the station using the Brighton Main Line which passes near the site. Coal was usually delivered to the jetty, rather than by rail. A conveyor belt system was then used to take coal to the coal storage area or directly to the station's boiler rooms. The conveyor belt system consisted of a series of bridges connected by towers. The coal storage area was a large concrete box capable of holding 75,000 tonnes of coal. This had an overhead gantry with a conveyor belt attached to the conveyor belt system, for taking coal from the coal store to the boiler rooms
Now, the cranes will be facing demolishing. Even though they're part of the listed Battersea Power Station and mentioned in the listing description:
"Subsidiary features: To the N on a jetty parallel to the river wall there are two cranes which were used to unload coal from collier boats. While of lesser significance, they were integral parts of the original complex and are now rare riverside features."
The cranes complement the Battersea Power Station and help to explain its purpose and function. Other industrial archeology has already been lost, notably the travelling coal conveyor (dismantled by Parkview in 1995) and the raking conveyors into the building.
They should receive extra protection given these other losses.
