Deploy an AWS server with a cloud account
This topic explains how to deploy an Ubuntu or Debian Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud server with systemd to your Advanced Server Access team. You may need to modify this process to fit your specific needs.
Creating a cloud server with user data means installing the Advanced Server Access server agent when you create a server with a cloud provider. Using user data to install software on a new cloud server can be done through any cloud provider, though the user data that is used helps dictate the specific software that's needed. For Advanced Server Access, user data is used is to install the Advanced Server Access agent on your cloud server. Installing the Advanced Server Access server agent on a cloud server doesn't need to be done when the cloud server is created, but running the installation as user data alongside a server's creation ensures that your cloud deployment is as safe and secure as possible.
- Create a server from the AWS Management console
- Enroll your server in Advanced Server Access by attaching your cloud account

Too much chlorine in water can harm other tissues and tree leaves. The focus threshold for tree injury is only 0.5 parts per million. The extent of tree damage from chlorine depends on the focus, length of coverage, way when the tree takes the chlorine, and time of the year up. While trees in your lawn are actively expanding rather than when they're dormant when coverage does occur chlorine injury is higher.
Also much chlorine is toxic, although chlorine is a trace element essential to tree diet. The leaves of trees are the first buildings to present results of chlorine toxicity. They're going to show a scorched or burned look with brown, lifeless tissue on edges and the ideas, as well as involving the leaf veins. Leaves may be stunted, turn yellow and fall off early.
Chlorine reacts with soil components to to create chloride compounds adopted by tree roots. Chlorides that are excess direct to the signs of chlorine poisoning. Soil is entered by chlorine from naturally-occurring chloride salts in the soil that dissolve in rain-water or irrigation water, chlorine from air-pollution that dissolves in rain-water, and swimming pool water run off, water from driveways and streets. Chlorine levels in municipal drinking-water usually are too low to damage trees, but in most cases, if you're able to smell chlorine in the water, donât use it to water your trees. In concentrations as little as 1 part per million, the nose can smell chlorine.
Tree species are especially sensitive to chlorine poisoning. Among them are types of box elder trees and tree. Chlorine -sensitive are crabapple, dogwood, horse-chestnut, mulberry, yellowwood, sweet gum and pin oak.
Trees broken by chlorine that was water borne by irrigating with plenty of clear, chlorine-free water. This water will dilute and carry chlorides away in the plant and soil tissues. In case your water supply is chlorinated, eliminate the chlorine before utilizing it by placing your water in a container in a sunny place to get a week. Apply gypsum to extract the chlorine in case your soil is heavily-laden with chlorides. Spread the gypsum in the price of 5 8 lbs per 1, 000 toes and function it in the most effective soil.

Is there any keyboard shortcut to close the Command Prompt window in Windows 7? Alt+F4 does not seem to work on a Command Prompt window.
I close it right now by typing exit and Enter at the prompt. Hoping there is a shorter trick.

 - Alt+Space, C
 - Create an alias using doskey: doskey x=exit

Wrap CMD in Console2, which would give you CTRL+W to close tabs and ALT+F4 to exit. You will also be able to use CTRL+V to Paste, if you wish, which is one of the main reasons I use it.
share|improve this answer
Here's an autohotkey script that'll do it.
_TAG_ ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
Send,{LAlt Down}{Space Down}{Space Up}{LAlt Up}{c Down}
It just sends Alt+Space, C to the window when Ctrl+w is hit (if it's a command prompt).

It depends from your choice of command interpreter. This is, of course, because it is your command interpreter that is (largely) determining how TUI command-line editing works.
If you're using JP Software's TCC/LE, for example, an autoexecuting keystroke alias that does exactly this (and that doesn't suffer from the global hotkey problems mentioned in other answers) is simplicity itself to set up using the ALIAS command:
alias @@f4=*exit
With bash one could do the same thing, using the bind built-in command, to bind the key sequence for the Alt-F4 key to the string exit\n. The tricky part is working out what key sequence Alt-F4 generates (from the point of view of bash, at least) this week.
If you are running your command interpreter within Take Command, closing the current command tab is done with Ctrl+F4.
share|improve this answer
You could probably use a tool such as AutoHotKey to build a shortcut that would close the window. Or create a shortcut that runs a command using tskill to find all cmd windows and close them. That would cause problems if you ever use more than once CMD window at a time and want to close them only selectively.

Broadly speaking, the stock market is made up of investors and speculators. When you invest in an asset or financial product, you expect to make a return. You also expect to receive all your capital back when you sell the asset. If you speculate on an asset, you are hoping for the price to move in your favor – but you are aware that it may not.
In today's complex financial markets, the line between investing and speculation is less distinct. This article looks at the key differences between the two, and lists examples of investing, speculation and the grey area between the two.

What is investing?
According to the dictionary, investing is defined as "committing capital in order to earn a return." When it comes to the financial markets you invest in assets when you expect a return, and you also expect to receive the initial investment back. This doesn't mean investments are without risk – but the expectation is that the risk is low. Most investments create cash flows like interest, coupons, rent or dividends. However, in some cases, profits are reinvested to add value to the asset.
What is speculation?
Speculating means committing capital in the hope of making a return. Speculation is typically based on a theory about what will happen in the future. However, there is no certainty, and the risk is far higher. During a gold rush, people who went looking for gold were known as speculators. They had no way of knowing whether they would find gold, but where prepared to take the risk because reward would be far greater.
Speculation dominated in the early days of Wall Street when most listed companies didn't have a track record. However, nowadays hundreds of companies have long track records. Investment analysis has come a long way too. Investors can now buy certain stocks with a lot more certainty.
Investing vs. speculating: Key differences
In The Intelligent Investor Benjamin Graham wrote: "An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative."
The key difference between investing and speculating is the level of risk and the certainty of receiving your capital back. Investors are reasonably certain they will not lose money. Speculators on the other hand, know there is a reasonable likelihood they will lose their investment.
If you do lose money on an investment it should be because something unexpected happens. If you are not surprised by a loss, you are very likely speculating. Speculators chase high returns, rather than high probability returns. Speculation is typically more short term in nature, though some speculative investments do have a long time horizon. Speculators usually expect the price of an asset to change. Investors look for cash flows, or for the value of the asset to change.
Active investing can be more speculative, but that doesn't mean active investing is the same as speculation. Solid fundamental analysis is more likely to result in investments than speculation. However, thorough analysis can also result in speculative investments. You may do your research and conclude that a stock has a fifty percent chance of going to zero and a fifty percent chance of tripling in value. For every dollar you risk you will either lose one dollar or make two. This is a speculative bet, but it's a bet worth taking.
The difference between investing and speculating can also depend on the person making a financial transaction. Consider two different investors buying the same stock. The first investor may have bought the stock based on nothing but a hunch. The second investor may have bought the stock after doing a lot of research and have a very sound investment thesis. The first investor is speculating, while the second is investing. In this case the difference comes down to each approach, not the stock itself.
The grey area between investing and speculating
In many cases it is very clear that you are either investing or speculating. But in some cases, an investment could be classed as either. Small cap stocks for example are typically speculative. But some small companies have predictable earnings and a competitive advantage. If you can invest in these types of companies at a fair price, you are not speculating.
Hedge funds range between highly speculative and what most people would regard as being investments. Furthermore, when a fund employs active trading strategies, individual trades may have speculative characteristics. However, if the system is based on empirical research, investing in the fund itself is not necessarily speculative.
Using quantitative investing techniques removes a lot of the speculative element from trading systems. LEHNER INVESTMENTS Data Intelligence Fund is a good example. Trade signals are generated as a result of a deliberate process involving artificial intelligence, big data and sentiment analysis. The objective of such a fund is to reduce portfolio risk, which is something investors – not speculators – do.
Examples of investing
The following are examples that would almost always qualify as investing:
- Savings accounts
- Government bonds
- Blue chip stocks
- Value stocks
- Passive investing / ETF investing
- Robo advisor platforms
- Retirement plans
- Mutual funds
- Factor investing
- Private equity funds
Savings accounts are one of the safest types of investments. If you invest in a savings account your money is almost certain to be safe, and you know roughly what compound interest you will earn. Most savings accounts are guaranteed by governments up to a certain amount.
Government bonds issued in developed countries are also very safe. A government can print money to pay back the principle. This may weaken the currency, but the principle will be safe.
Blue chip stocks do carry some risk but are generally regarded as safe investments and they have predictable earnings. Companies regarded as "blue chip" are very unlikely to go bankrupt, though their value may fall in any given year. A portfolio of blue-chip stocks is unlikely to lose value over a 5 to 10-year period.
Value stocks are regarded as having limited downside. If a stock is trading below its intrinsic value, the worst-case scenario is that common stock owners would be entitled to the liquidation value of the company. Value investing seeks to limit the downside first, and then earn a return.
Stocks with low PEs are not always value stocks though. One of the most common investing myths is that low PE stocks are a good investment. While some stocks trading on low multiples are good investments, many are cheap for a reason. Likewise, some of the best performing stocks trade on high multiples. Although the downside on value stocks is limited, investors will only earn a return if the company's prospects improve, and the market recognizes it.
Passive investing and ETF investing generally falls under investing rather than speculation. Market capitalization weighted ETFs will always contain the most valuable stocks in each market. Owning the most successful stocks over the long term has a high probability of earning investors a return. Actively trading ETFs is speculating though, just like it would be for most stocks.
Robo advisor platforms offer cautious investment strategies. In fact, a large part of what they do is aimed at steering investors away from speculating. Robo advisors invest client assets in passive income investments according to a prudent asset allocation framework.
Retirement plans, balanced funds and annuities are relatively safe investments. Most of these long-term savings products are highly regulated to ensure that capital isn't invested in speculative instruments.
Mutual funds are for the most part regarded as investments. However, some are very speculative depending on the strategy they follow, or the instruments they invest in. Actively moving money in and out of mutual funds is speculative, regardless of the fund.
Factor investing and ESG investing typically form part of an investment strategy. The research these types of investments are based on looks at factors that lead to long term outperformance and profitability. Traders don't usually use these types of factors for speculation either.
Private equity funds invest in private companies with proven business models. In fact, private equity funds usually invest in companies once their speculative phase is over. They accept lower returns but have a higher success rate than venture capital funds.
Examples that can be categorized as investing or speculation
The following examples fall into the grey area between speculation and investing:
Momentum investing is speculative in nature. Investments are not made with any degree of certainty. Rather, momentum is used to signal the fact that other investors are likely to pay higher prices in the future. However, a diversified momentum portfolio that is based on empirical research can remove a lot of the uncertainty. The same can apply to any stock picking strategy.
Growth stocks are often priced as though they will continue to grow earnings rapidly for several years. Buying stocks like this is usually speculation. A popular investment will usually trade at a premium, and there may not be enough growth to justify the premium. However, an investor may conclude from their research that the required growth is achievable.
Hedge funds and algorithmic trading strategies can be used to speculate. But they can also be used to hedge against volatility or a stock market crash. In this case they are being used as part of an investment strategy.
Real estate can easily fall into the realm of either investment or speculation. A rental property that generates positive cash flow is an investment. On the other hand, investment of money into a property that will only be profitable if its resale value increases is speculation.
Venture capital funds typically invest in startup businesses which are speculative. However, one can argue that a fund which is diversified across numerous startups some of the risk has been reduced. Whether or not the fund is speculative is a matter of opinion.

Kangaroo paw is a common name for a number of species, in two genera (Anigozanthos and Macropidia) of the family Haemodoraceae, that are endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. These perennial plants are noted for their unique bird attracting flowers. The tubular flowers are coated with dense hairs and open at the apex with six claw-like structures: from this paw formation the common name "Kangaroo Paw" is derived.

Q From Ginger Johnson: I am curious as to the origin of vamp. The vampire to vamp connection (as in Theda Bara) is straightforward, but how on earth did it come to have something to do with music?
A It has nothing to do with vampires, but its origin is almost equally weird. The word comes from the medieval French avant-pied, literally "before the foot", in reference to the forepart of the foot, in particular the part of hose or stockings below the ankle. It became corrupted in English to vampe, said as two syllables, and then vamp. (In the eighteenth century the old pronunciation was revived through a fashion for short stockings that covered only the foot and ankle, which were called vampeys.) This sense of vamp is preserved in the meaning that denotes the part of a boot or shoe that covers the upper front part of the foot.
It seems that in the middle seventeenth century the word came to be used for anything that had been patched up or refurbished (like darned stockings, we may guess), as in the old phrase to vamp something up for repairing or improving something. This is more commonly now found in the verb to revamp, an American term invented in the 1850s from this existing sense of vamp. Nearer the end of the nineteenth century vamp was adopted by musicians for those short simple phrases, usually improvised, that one plays quietly in the background or as an introduction, presumably because they were patching up a gap or silence.

Natural Flow Cooling System
Our Technology > Patented Technology
Since the electrical resistance of a conductor such as a silver wire is dependent upon collisional processes within the wire, the resistance could be expected to increase with temperature since there will be more collisions. Likewise, the more the temperature rises the more the conductor resistance increases causing audible signal loss especially in high frequencies because of skin effect. Moreover, materials possess their own specific tonal signatures, independently of shape or size, but directly related to temperature.
In order to minimize this phenomenon most cables suffer from, we must aim at keeping the conductor temperature of all our cables as low and stable as possible. Therefore, we leave the two ends of the conductor Teflon insulation tubes open while the external tube remains hermitically closed.
As the diameter of the insulation tube is quite bigger than the conductors', air can easily flow through it.
When the current flows through the conductors the temperature increases and the air in the external tube of the cable starts to flow, cooling the conductors.
This patented
"Natural Flow Cooling System" stabilizes the operation temperature level of our cables lower than a conventional cable, offering a significant diminution in signal loss.
Moreover, by keeping the temperature quite low we avoid corrosion farther, same as any chemical activity, achieving a time-lasting stable cable.

Low levels on Mississippi River expose fossils & thrill local fossil hunters
POSTED: Saturday, October 27, 2012 - 3:00pm
UPDATED: Saturday, October 27, 2012 - 3:04pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — The water level on the Mississippi river has been unusually low this year due to the drought in the nation's heart land.
While the low water is a problem for the shipping industry, there is at least one group who loves it when the river is down.
People are out combing the normally water covered bottom that has been exposed, for a rarity, fossils.
John Moore, known better by his nickname of Puddin', has been searching the river for decades and has piles of bones in his shop on south walnut street in Greenville.
George Phillips, Paleontology Curator with the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, says most of the fossil bones found in the Mississippi river are from the late ice age.
It has been a great fossil hunting season for the hunters.
"This year more than the other years because of the low water," said Phillips. "You look for the gravel bars. That's where you find most of it, in the gravel bars. Very seldom you find anything in the sand."

SSE/EFI Working Paper Series in Economics and Finance 728
This paper studies the evolution of peoples' models of how other people think - their theories of mind. First, this is formalized within the level-k model, which postulates a hierarchy of types, such that type k plays a k times iterated best response to the uniform distribution. It is found that, under plausible conditions, lower types co-exist with higher types. The results are extended to a model of learning, in which type k plays a k times iterated best response the average of past play. The model is also extended to allow for partial observability of the opponent's type.

Camp des Milles
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
The camp was first used to intern Germans and ex-Austrians living in the Marseilles Area, and by June 1940, some 3500 artists and intellectuals were detained there. Novelist Lion Feuchtwanger and visual artist Ferdinand Springer were inmates. Surrealist artists Hans Bellmer and Max Ernst were imprisoned in the Camp des Milles prison for most of World War II. Between 1941 and 1942 Le Camp des Milles was used as a transit camp for Jews, mainly men. Women were at the Centre Bompard in Marseilles, while they waited for their visas and anthorisations to emigrate. As emigration became imossible Les Milles became one one of the Centre de rassemblement before deportation. 2000 of the inmates were shipped off to Drancy camp on the way to Auschwitz
After the war, the site was briefly re-opened in 1946 as a factory.
In 1995 a movie titled "Les Milles" commemorating this camp and the events that took place in this camp at the time of the Armistice in June 1940 was made.

White Screen After Installing The Theme
If you upload the theme and activate it, and see nothing but a white screen, please read the following information. This is more common than you might think, and it can be frustrating to sort out. First, it is important to understand what the white screen, often referred to as the "white screen of death," actually means. Simply put, there is an error that you can't see. The reason you can't see it is because, WordPress is not displaying the error that is causing the problem. When attempting to diagnose a white screen condition consider what you did before the condition occurred:
There are several causes for this condition. We will be addressing the ones most likely to occur — Plugins, Theme, and Other Causes.
No matter how hard developers try, it is basically impossible to write plugins that will work and play well together with every single theme. The same is true in reverse. If you experience a white screen after activating the theme, the problem could be a plugin that is in conflict with the theme. Try the following:
The most likely issue associated with a theme being the cause of a white screen condition is when the upload of the theme did not complete the transfer of all files, the transfer resulted in corrupted theme files, or you have PHP configuration memory limits set too low. Try this:
The following is a list of possible other causes for the white screen condition, because they too can cause this error:

While working on a project in operator algebras with a collaborator (and fellow MO user), we are able to successfully complete a transfinite induction assuming that the following has an affirmative answer.
Question: Let $\delta$ be a cardinal, considered as an initial ordinal, so that it is equal to the set of all ordinals of cardinality strictly less than $\delta$. Does there exist a nondecreasing function $\phi \colon \delta \to \delta$ such that, for all ordinals $1 \leq \lambda < \delta$, there exists $\gamma < \lambda$ such that $\phi(\gamma) \geq \lambda$?
If it happens to matter, we are only concerned with the case where $\delta$ is a limit cardinal. Any reasonably (transfinitely) constructive approach to writing down such $\phi$ seems to quickly run into issues of ordinal notation that are beyond our expertise. If an abstract existence argument is available, we will certainly still be happy. On the other hand, we fear that this may somehow depend on large cardinal issues.

Your property must fail for $\lambda=0$, since there are no $\gamma$ less than $0$. – Joel David Hamkins Jun 7 '12 at 21:08
As Nik pointed out such functions exist only when $cf(\delta) = \omega$ (and trivially when $\delta$ is a successor ordinal). However, it often happens that the $cf(\delta) = \omega$ and $cf(\delta) \gt \omega$ cases must be dealt with using different techniques. Perhaps you want to follow up this question with another on how to handle the $cf(\delta) \gt \omega$ case... – François G. Dorais Jun 7 '12 at 21:27
_USER_, oops! Fixed, thank you. – Manny Reyes Jun 7 '12 at 22:57
_USER_, would you kindly be able to point me to a (reasonably simple) instance where the $cf(\delta)>\omega$ case is successfully handled by separate means? A concrete example may help jog some new ideas for me. – Manny Reyes Jun 7 '12 at 23:03
One of the key things that happens with ordinals of uncountable cofinality is the existence of the club filter and stationary sets, which have tons of wonderful properties. This is often the key to handling that case - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_set en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_filter en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_set – François G. Dorais Jun 7 '12 at 23:37

Not unless $\delta$ has countable cofinality (e.g., $\delta = \aleph_\omega$). This will fail for $\delta = \aleph_1$, for example. Let $\phi: \delta \to \delta$ be any increasing function and recursively define $\lambda_0 = 0$ and $\lambda_{n+1} = \phi(\lambda_n)+1$. Since $\phi$ is increasing, the sequence $(\lambda_n)$ is increasing, and since $\delta$ has uncountable cofinality we have $\lambda = \sup \lambda_n < \delta$. However, for any $\gamma < \lambda$ we must have $\gamma < \lambda_n$ for some $n$, so that $\phi(\gamma) \leq \lambda_{n+1} < \lambda$.
(If $\delta$ has countable cofinality it's easy. For instance, if $\delta = \aleph_\omega$ then we define $\phi$ by letting $\phi(\lambda) = \aleph_{n+1} + \lambda$ for $\aleph_n \leq \lambda < \aleph_{n+1}$.)
share|improve this answer
In the cofinality $\omega$ case, one can also use the natural step function with $\omega$ many values. For $\delta=\aleph_\omega$, let $f(\alpha)=|\alpha|^+$ for infinite $\alpha$. In the general case, where $\delta=\sup_n\lambda_n$, let $f(\alpha)=\lambda_{n+1}$ for $\alpha\in[\lambda_n,\lambda_{n+1})$. – Joel David Hamkins Jun 7 '12 at 22:56
Well, that was much simpler than I expected! Thanks for setting me straight. – Manny Reyes Jun 7 '12 at 23:04

Wood rotting fungi
There are many fungi, both saprotrophic and parasitic, that decay wood and youll find a great deal of information in the reference given in the button.
Examples of saprotrophs found on dead wood lying on the ground are Chlorociboria aeruginascens (which often stains the wood the same colour, as shown here ), Plectania campylospora, Polyporus arcularius and Stereum ostrea. The densely clustered caps of Coprinus disseminatus are often found around the bases of old stumps that have been colonised by the mycelium of this species.
When you look at a majestic forest eucalypt remember that the bulk of the tree is the dead heartwood. The living parts are the roots, leaves and relatively thin layer under the bark. Thus, live trees also provide scope for many saprotrophs and Laetiporus portentosus is an example of a saprotrophic fungus, feeding on the dead heartwood in living trees.
On the other hand, Armillaria luteobubalina is an aggressive parasite, capable of attacking and killing many plant species after which it feeds on the dead wood. It often produces dense clusters of mushrooms on dead wood or at the bases of live trees of various species. The fungus is an endemic Australian species and is widespread through south-eastern Australia. Armillaria is a problem in the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra, where it has killed mature trees in several garden beds. In the botanic gardens it spreads mostly by root-to-root contact and one way of controlling its spread is to put a physical barrier between the roots of infected and healthy trees. This photo shows a bitumen road between the Gardens' Rainforest Gully (out of the picture, to the left) and (on the right) a garden bed with an Armillaria infestation. In order to keep Armillaria out of the Rainforest Gully, a trench was dug along the edge of the road, a physical barrier put in and the trench then re-filled and re-bitumened. You can see the later strip of bitumen on the right hand side of the road (just to the left of the white, concrete gutter).
However, mushrooms growing from tree bases dont always mean trouble. Gymnopilus pampeanus also often produces dense clusters of mushrooms on dead wood or at the bases of various live trees. Some people mistakenly believe they have an Armillaria problem when they see Gymnopilus, for the two have similar growth habits. However, the Gymnopilus mycelium feeds largely on dead wood and is, at most, a mild parasite that may inflict damage to a tree that is already otherwise stressed.
White rot and brown rot
The major constituents of wood are the polymers cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. A polymer is a bit like a long chain. While a chain can be quite long and heavy, it's just a series of simple links joined together. In a similar way, each of the above polymers is built up by joining together a string of much simpler chemical compounds. In the case of cellulose and hemicellulose the basic building blocks are various simple sugars. For example, the basic building block in cellulose is glucose - a simple sugar that turns up in many foods, as you can see from the ingredients labels on various jars, cans or packets that you buy during your grocery shopping. The building blocks of lignin are more complex and lignin helps protect cellulose against microbial attack.
There are two broad classes of wood-rotting macrofungi. Fungi which decompose cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin leave the wood very pale in colour and often with a fibrous to stringy consistency. These are called white rot fungi and this photo shows an example of wood with white rot. Fungi which can decompose only cellulose and hemicellulose leave the wood coloured brown and, rather than fibrous, cracked into cubical fragments, which break off readily. These are the brown rot fungi. The next photo shows what you get when you crumble, or rub, white and brown rot woods in your hands. There are several types of white rot and you can find out more here: [_URL_
There are more species of white rot fungi than there are of brown rot fungi. In the northern hemisphere many of the brown rot fungi are found on conifers in the boreal areas but in Australia there has been no systematic study into the geographic or host preferences of brown rot species. However, there is some evidence of a preference for cool-temperate areas.
Fairly often, when you cut open a piece of dead wood that's still fairly firm, you'll see black lines marking out zones of varying size. These black zone lines mark out the extremities of the separate mycelia. Such wood, called spalted wood, is often sought after by craftspeople working with wood, for the irregular lines add to the attractiveness of the finished item. The following photos show, first, numerous fruiting bodies of the polypore Trametes versicolor growing out of a tree-stump and, second, the wood inside the stump.
Ornament using spalted wood.
Some white rot fungi, such as Trametes versicolor, decay lignin and cellulose simultaneously whereas others decay lignin first, leaving a residue of cellulose and hemicellulose for later decay. In Chile, Nothofagus wood that has been selectively de-lignified by Ganoderma australe is fed to cattle, for the lignin-free residue is easily digested with the help of the micro-organisms found in cattle guts. Such wood is called palo podrido and you can find out a bit more about it here. [_URL_ There is also evidence of moose in Alaska feeding on logs decayed by Ganoderma tsugae.
Wood rotting fungi, nematodes and bacteria
Nitrogen is an essential element for all living organisms, but wood has a low nitrogen content. Many wood-rotting fungi can grow at very low nitrogen levels and are very efficient at both scavenging and re-cycling nitrogen, but some have additional strategies. The mycelia of some wood-rotting fungi also trap and feed on nematodes that can often be found in decaying wood. By trapping nematodes (using hyphae with sticky knobs, for example), these fungi supplement their nitrogen intake. Species in the genus Hohenbuehelia and Pleurotus trap nematodes. These fungi produce stemless-mushrooms as fruiting bodies, the caps being attached directly to the wood either at the top or side of the cap.
Pleurotus ostreatus on a toilet roll.
Bacteria are also common in rotting wood and laboratory experiments with the mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus have shown that this fungus will destroy and feed on bacterial colonies. Pleurotus ostreatus is widely cultivated (in many colour variations) and sold in supermarkets as the Oyster Mushroom. This fungus can grow on a variety of cellulose-containing materials - even toilet rolls, as shown at the right.
An excellent source of authoritative information about all types of predatory, wood-rotting fungi is in this site, written by George Barron, who has spent many years studying these fungi [_URL_
Forest litter and woodchips
Many fungi exploit the leaf and twig litter that can be found on forest floors, with the mycelia confined just to the litter layer extending neither to the soil below nor to the larger pieces of fallen wood. This is especially the case in the tropics, but also in sheltered temperate areas (where the litter layer is protected against the drying effects of sun and wind). Many of the fungi that exploit the litter layers produce tiny fruiting bodies, but at times in great abundance. For example, you may find hundreds of Marasmius haematocephalus mushrooms popping up from the forest litter. The individual caps are under a centimetre in diameter and there are many litter decomposers that produce mushrooms with caps only a couple of millimetres in diameter. You can also find various polypores, ascomycetes and corticioid fungi on leaf and twig litter. Here is a close-up view of the toothed fruiting body of a species of the corticioid genus Sistotrema that was growing on some long-dead, eucalypt leaves lying on the ground. The spines are one to two millimetres long. The fruiting body grew on the underside of the leaf, so the spines were pointing down.
Turning now to a suburban setting, think of all the wood that is spread around parks and home gardens in the form of woodchip mulch. Hypholoma aurantiaca is a common mushroom in woodchip-mulched gardens in Canberra. The species is well-known in Europe and may have been introduced to Australia. Some may think nothing much of the fungi on woodchip mulch but Peter Shaw, of the University of Surrey in England, writes: "It seems that the combination of deep woody litter and regular disturbance provides a habitat with no natural equivalent, so that the fungal community which appears is unusual." You can find more about his investigations in this link. [_URL_

If you do need to initialize your environment, this is typically done using a command at login time. The form of this command depends on what shell (command interpreter) you use on the WAVE host. To identify your shell, log onto the WAVE host and type 'echo $SHELL'. If the response contains the characters 'csh', you are using the C-shell (or a variant of it); in this case, use 'source /usr/bin/cshsetwfdb' to initialize the environment. Otherwise, use '. setwfdb' to do so (don't omit the '.' in this case). Usually, the appropriate command is included in your '.profile' or '.login' script on the WAVE host, so that it need not be entered each time you log onto the WAVE host. See setwfdb(1) (type 'man setwfdb' on the WAVE host) for further information.
This is probably a command of the form 'ssh atlantic'. You will probably be prompted to enter your password when you execute this command.

Mímir (Old Norse "The rememberer, the wise one") or Mim is a figure in Norse mythology renowned for his knowledge and wisdom who is beheaded during the Æsir-Vanir War. Afterward, the god Odin carries around Mímir's head and it recites secret knowledge and counsel to him.
Mímir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson of Iceland, and in euhemerized form as one of the Æsir in Heimskringla, also written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century. Mímir's name appears in the names of the well Mímisbrunnr, the tree Mímameiðr, and the wood Hoddmímis holt.
Poetic Edda
Mímir is mentioned in the Poetic Edda poems Völuspá and Sigrdrífumál. In Völuspá, Mímir is mentioned in two stanzas. Stanza 28 references Odin's sacrifice of his eye to Mímir's Well, and states that Mímir drinks mead every morning "from the Father of the Slain's [Odin] wager." Stanza 46 describes that, in reference to Ragnarök, the "sons" of Mím are at play while "fate burns" (though no further information about these "sons" has survived), that the god Heimdallr blows the Gjallarhorn, and that Mímir's decapitated head gives counsel to Odin. The single mention in stanza 14 of Sigrdrífumál is also a reference to Mímir's speaking, decollated head. Stanzas 20 and 24 of the poem Fjölsvinnsmál refer to Yggdrasil as Mímameiðr.
Prose Edda
In chapter 15 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, as owner of his namesake well, Mímir himself drinks from it and gains great knowledge. To drink from the well, he uses skin from a dragon foot, a drinking horn which shares its name with the sounding horn used by Heimdallr intended to announce the onset of Ragnarök. The section further relates that the well is located beneath one of the three roots of Yggdrasil, in the realm of the frost jötunn.
Chapter 51 relates that, with the onset of Ragnarök, "Heimdall stands up and blows the Gjallarhorn with all his strength. He wakens all the gods who then hold an assembly. Odin now rides to Mimir's Well, seeking council for both himself and his followers. The ash Yggdrasil shakes, and nothing, whether in heaven or on earth, is without fear."
In the Prose Edda book Skáldskaparmál, Mímir's name appears in various kennings. These kennings include "Mím's friend" (for "Odin") in three places, "mischief-Mímir" (a kenning for "jötunn"), and among a list of names for jötunn.
Mímir is mentioned in chapters 4 and 7 of the saga Ynglinga Saga, as collected in Heimskringla. In chapter 4, Snorri presents a euhemerized account of the Æsir-Vanir War. Snorri states that the two sides eventually tired of the war and both agree to meet to establish a truce. The two sides meet and exchanged hostages. Vanaheimr are described as having sent to Asgard their best men: Njörðr—described as wealthy—and his son Freyr in exchange for Asaland's Hœnir—described here as large, handsome, and thought of by the people of Vanaheimr well suited to be a chieftain. Additionally, the Æsir send Mímir—described as a man of great understanding—in exchange for Kvasir, who Snorri describes as the wisest man of Vanaheimr.
Snorri continues that, upon arrival in Vanaheimr, Hœnir was immediately made chief and Mímir often gave him good counsel. However, when Hœnir was at meetings and at the Thing without Mímir by his side, he would always answer the same way: "Let others decide." Subsequently, the Vanir suspected they had been cheated in the exchange by the Æsir, so they seized Mimir and beheaded him and sent the head to Asgard. Odin took the head of Mímir, embalmed it with herbs so that it would not rot, and spoke charms over it, which gave it the power to speak to him and reveal to him secrets. The head of Mímir is again mentioned in chapter 7 in connection with Odin, where Odin is described as keeping Mímir's head with him and that it divulged information from other worlds.
On the basis of Hávamál 140 - where Odin learns nine magic songs from the unnamed brother of his mother Bestla - some scholars have theorized that Bestla's brother may in fact be Mímir, who is then Odin's maternal uncle. This also means that Mimir's father would be Bölþorn.
In the theories of Viktor Rydberg, Mímir's wife is Sinmara, named in the poem Fjölsvinnsmal. According to Rydberg, the byname Sinmara ("sinew-maimir") refers to "Mímir-Niðhad"'s "queen ordering Völund's hamstrings to be cut".

The Whore's Revenge
Chaucer and Chaumpaigne
One of the most celebrated cases of literary rape ("raptus") involved Geoffrey Chaucer. In 1380 charges were dropped by one Cecily Chaumpaigne. The document on which the charges were based - "concerning my rape" ("de raptu meo") - came to light in 1873. Chaucer apparently paid 10 pounds to Cecily, which was a huge amount for the time. So why did he pay?
The pessimists have indicted Chaucer in academia as a forcible rapist. Did Chaucer indeed rape her and does the evil deed "haunt" his works and change forever how we feel about his Canterbury Tales? The optimists have argued that the evidence simply isn't there, because we don't have enough information about what happened and the terminology is vague about whether a rape actually occurred. Perhaps Cecily used it as leverage to get what she wanted?
The cynic might say it's likely that sex occurred, perhaps on a regular basis. Some see Cecily as Chaucer's mistress and she may have become pregnant. Did Chaucer, who was married, break off the relationship and she got back at him? Was Cecily a first class manipulator and she fabricated the charge to blackmail him? Some believe Cecily's stepmother was Alice Perrers, a famous courtesan and businesswoman and perhaps Cecily indulged in the family practice? Who's to say? The agnostic notes that the controversy continues unabated in universities and what's really interesting is why academics and students take the self-serving positions that they do.
Whatever one's predilection, it's ironic that the story of Chaucer and Chaumpaigne is so similar to Casanova and Charpillon. As a master of irony himself, Chaucer might have enjoyed that.
The image below shows Chaucer as a pilgrim in the Ellesmere Manuscript of The Canterbury Tales. Many think of this version as the most beautiful manuscript we have. It dates from the early 1400's, not long after his death.

From story above. If this shirt is relating to your life, please feel happy to order this shirt :
The color of an object American softball quilt bedding set depends on both the physics of the object in its environment and the characteristics of the perceiving eye and brain. Physically, objects can be said to have the color of the light leaving their surfaces, which normally depends on the spectrum of the incident illumination and the reflectance properties of the surface, as well as potentially on the angles of illumination and viewing. Some objects not only reflect light, but also transmit light or emit light themselves, which also contributes to the color. A viewer's perception of the object's color depends not only on the spectrum of the light leaving its surface, but also on a host of contextual cues, so that color differences between objects can be discerned mostly independent of the lighting spectrum, viewing angle, etc. This effect is known as color constancy.

How to Prioritize Your Wi-Fi Networks?
Instead of forgetting networks, you may also opt to prioritize stronger WiFi Networks. Saving the old networks instead of deleting them helps you keep older networks available for a rainy day. Here are a few quick steps to prioritize a network:
- Following the steps mentioned above, navigate towards the Network Settings.
- Press on the Advanced button.
- This opens up another box with all the WiFi Network Connections placed under Network Name.
- Simply, select the WiFi Network connection that you would like to prioritize and move it above other WiFi networks. The higher the Wi-Fi placement, the bigger the priority.
- So, the next time you open your Macbook and try to connect a known Wi-Fi, it will connect based on priority in the list.
Why Is My Wi-Fi Network Lagging?
Your router can usually support up to 250 devices at once. However, if there are many devices connected, the bandwidth will be distributed. This can ultimately cause lagging and bad reception.


There's a little black spot on the sun today
"I absolutely love Sven's illustrations,
they are a wonderful interpretation of my lyrics."
When Malo, was three years old he developed a serious illness. He traveled with his father back and forth to the hospital for treatment. On one such journey, legendary musician Sting's song »King of Pain« came on the radio. Moved by the music, Malo found the words he needed to help him describe the pain, isolation, and fear he was feeling.
Sven Völker is Malo's father. He translated the lines of the song into images. Concentrating on geometric shapes with sharp distinct edges and color, Völker has created a highly evocative interpretation of Sting's poetic words. He puts them together in a variety of ways and combinations to create a range of impressive and color-intense images that visualize the pain.
How does one explain pain?
Originally destined for Malo's bedroom walls, these bright images have become a picture book of intense emotions transforming Sting's words into a captivating children's book. »There's a Little Black Spot on the Sun Today« deals with the abstract subject of pain in a remarkable way, exploring all it's facets.

The difference between mechanical seal and oil seal
Describe difference between mechanical seal and oil seal – Whether it is a mechanical seal or oil seal, it prevents the fluid seeping the liquid to other parts of the machine, or it keeps the rotating parts lubricated.
Both sealing types are popularly used in different mechanical engineering applications. How are they different? The article explains the fundamental working mechanism of both categories of seals.
The mechanical seal is used in a pump, mixer and other mechanical engineering scenarios to contain the fluid within a vessel where a shaft rotates through a stationary (or rotating) housing.
Why is mechanical seal important in this situation? It is because the rotating shaft has to move in a wet environment, but there should not be the leakage of pressurized fluid. Hence, the role of a seal is quite critical.
Does it mean the seal stops the leakage completely? Well, on the practical grounds yes because there is no 'visible leakage'.
There is a little leakage as the fluid vapors get released into the atmosphere from the faces of the seal, though. Since the quantity is hardly quantifiable, the seals are considered leak proof.
Qualities of mechanical seal
- The seals do not damage pump sleeve or shaft.
- Due to inboard springs that get adjusted as the seal faces wear, it is not required to do daily maintenance.
- Mechanical seals cause less power consumption than gland packing because of the lightly loaded faces.
- In mechanical seals, the lubricant doesn't get washed out. Therefore, bearing contamination gets avoided in normal operational conditions.
- Plant equipment remains corrosion free.
- Relatively less maintenance and cleaning are required. It makes mechanical seals cost-effective.
- Oil seals prevent accumulation of dirt in the machine.
Oil seals close off the space between stationary and moving components in the mechanical equipment. It saves the lubricant from escaping through the equipment and ensures smooth operation of the machine.
Oil seals are called rotary shaft seal or radial lip also.
Benefits of oil seals
- Oil seals prevent seeping of potentially hazardous contaminants like dirt or fluid in the running machine
- These seals safeguard mixing of two things like oil and water
- In the high-intensity work environment, oil seals play a vital role
- Oil seals are long-lasting and sturdy
- Oil seals can work relentlessly if the preventive and corrective maintenance is in place
- Low wear and tear
Since oil seals are versatile and multipurpose, they are suitable for all types of mechanical engineering situations, e.g., manufacturing units, automobiles, pumps, etc.
When there is a need for rebuilding a cylinder and pump instead of building a new one.
It is possible to get custom-made seals manufactured at reasonable rates from good-quality manufacturers if the readymade seal specification doesn't meet the requirement.
It is critically important that you choose the appropriate seal for an application. The seals should be ordered from a manufacturer of high repute. To get the best seals, it is important to give accurate design specifications.
Leak-Pack specialize in providing solutions to all types of leakages by manufacturing Mechanical Seals and Sealing Components as per customer's drawings, samples or requirements. To know more about Mechanical Seal call on +91-(2739) 271592 or email at _EMAIL_.

As for other differences between typical pistols (including the.22) and more powerful rounds like the.223 you have to understand an important fact about high powered weapons:
What kills you isn't necessarily the hole in your body or the shredding of your insides, it's that parts of your cardiovascular system explode, particularly in the brain. Basically as the round enters your body, it creates a pulse of pressure in your bloodstream, which causes hemorrhaging. You die from massive brain bleeding before the damage from the primary would kills you.
It's called hydrostatic shock.
Hunters know this very well, it's what results in "blood shot" meat near the wound that you have to avoid when harvesting the meat. Bloodshot meat is a more localized effect, but it's the same thing (hemorrhaging caused by induced static hydraulic pressure in the cardiovascular system).
A.22 doesn't produce anywhere near enough energy to cause hydrostatic shock. Typically the minimum is considered to be the energy from a.45ACP, which is about half the energy of a.223/NATO

Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs
Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs
Which face is much more desirable? You share the tastes of most heterosexual men if you chose the face on the left. It really is a face that is composite or "morph", made of the faces of eight ladies with unusually little legs. The facial skin regarding the right is a morph of eight women with unusually feet that are large.
It is quite a significant difference, isn't it? Females with smaller legs have actually prettier faces, at the very least in accordance with the males whom participated in this research. Therefore do ladies with extended thigh bones and narrower sides, also ladies who are taller overall. Therefore the competition is not also a close one. "These will be the many strikingly various morphs I've ever seen, " claims Jeremy Atkinson, a psychologist that is evolutionary the University at Albany, ny.
Atkinson and their colleague Michelle Rowe measured hand size, base size, thigh length and hip width on 60 white feminine students, then modified each dimension to take into account specific variations in overall height. For every single of 16 body-part dimensions, they selected the eight females because of the shortest lengths as well as the eight aided by the longest, and constructed morphs of the faces. These morphs had been then ranked for attractiveness by 77 heterosexual male students.
The males had been three-and-a-half times as more likely to find the short-footed morph as more desirable, and very nearly 10 times as prone to state it had been more feminine, Atkinson and Rowe discovered.
Likewise, these were significantly more than 11 times as very likely to select the narrow-hipped morph as more appealing, and eight times as more likely to pick the long-thighed morph, the scientists reported at a gathering of this Human Behavior and Evolution community in Eugene, Oregon, final month.
Tough beginnings
Atkinson believes guys find these features attractive simply because they act as markers of the healthier youth. Continue reading "Why males are drawn to females with tiny legs"

Smart Phones Are Changing Real World Privacy Settings Thursday, May 10, 2012
TAU research finds that smart phone users develop new concepts of privacy in public spaces
With endless applications, high-speed wireless Internet access, and free messaging services, smart phones have revolutionized the way we communicate. But at what cost? According to researchers at Tel Aviv University, the smart phone is challenging traditional conceptions of privacy, especially in the public sphere.
Dr. Tali Hatuka of TAU's Department of Geography and Dr. Eran Toch of TAU's Department of Industrial Engineering have teamed to measure the impact of the smart phone phenomenon on privacy, behavioral codes, and the use of public space. Their early results indicate that although spaces such as city squares, parks, or transportation were once seen as public meeting points, smart phone users are more and more caught up in their technology-based communications devices than their immediate surroundings.
Smart phone users are 70 percent more likely than regular cellphone users to believe that their phones afford them a great deal of privacy, says Dr. Toch, who specializes in privacy and information systems. These users are more willing to reveal private issues in public spaces. They are also less concerned about bothering individuals who share those spaces, he says.
Inside a private bubble
Dr. Hatuka says that smart phones create the illusion of "private bubbles" around their users in public spaces. She also believes that the design of public spaces may need to change in response to this technology, not unlike the ways in which some public areas have been designated as "smoking" and "non-smoking." Dr. Toch also notes that smartphones and personal computing devices are becoming more "context-aware," adjusting themselves in terms of brightness and volume to the user's location and activity.
To examine how smart phones have impacted human interactions in public and private spaces, the researchers designed an in-depth survey. Nearly 150 participants, half smart phone users and half regular phone users, were questioned about how telephone use applied to their homes, public spaces, learning spaces, and transportation spaces.
While regular phone users continued to adhere to established social protocol in terms of phone use — postponing private conversations for private spaces and considering the appropriateness of cell phone use in public spaces — smart phone users adapted different social behaviors for public spaces. They were 50 percent less likely to be bothered by others using their phones in public spaces, and 20 percent less likely than regular phone users to believe that their private phone conversations were irritating to those around them, the researchers found.
Feeling lost without a phone
According to the researchers, smart phone users were also more closely "attached" to their mobile devices. When asked how they felt when they were without their phones, the majority of smart phone owners chose negative descriptors such as "lost," "tense," or "not updated." Regular phone users were far more likely to have positive associations to being without their phones, such as feeling free or quiet.
The next phase of the study will be a more in-depth analysis of how smart phone users incorporate this technology into their daily lives. It requires users to install an application that the researchers developed called Smart Spaces. The application is designed to track where the participants go over a three-week period and how they use their phones while there. This will give researchers a better idea of how smart phone users interact in both public and private spaces during the course of a typical day.
Dr. Hatuka and Dr. Toch believe that their complete findings can reveal clues about the future of public space and how it will be designed in order to meet the needs of those it serves. "We are entering a new phase of public and private spaces," says Dr. Hatuka, suggesting that physical spaces need to be redesigned as arenas which could enhance personal interaction.

text: The enigmatic nawamis have been known since Edward H. Palmer's early explorations in the Sinai. During the years 1972 to 1982. Ofcr Bar-Yoscf, Avner Goren. and other Israeli scholars made intensive field investigations of these structures. It is generally agreed lhat these well-preserved stone-built structures were constructed during the 4thmillennium b.c.by indigenous pastoralists and used as tombs at the end of the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze I A. The nawamis generally have the same rounded plan 3 to 6 m in diameter and approximately 2 m in height. They are usually double walled and built of local stone, either sandstone slabs, granitic, or metamorphic boulders. A wide range of burial offerings was found in the nawamis. These include beads (mostly dentalium, connus, carnelian, faience, bone, and ostrich eggshell), mother-of-pearl pendants, lambis-shcll bracelets, transverse arrowheads, tabular scrapers, and some copper points, Bar-Yoscf suggested that the nawamis were used as graves for family units. Both primary and secondary burials were found in the numerous fully excavated nawamis.

Passports have long been held as the ultimate, sound document used for identification purposes, whether for booking into a hotel room, renting a car or visiting your bank. At borders at least with your biometric passport you can safely transit without a passport translation. But if you are using your passport as your main form of I.D., you may feel more comfortable getting a passport translation so that you know your identity may not be refuted by anyone who doesn't speak your language.
It is important that you get a quality passport translation which you do when you hire Cinch Translation services. All our passport translators
 - are knowledgeable in both their mother tongue and a second language fluently
 - have gained 5 years' experience in the translation field
 - have reached the required standard through our rigorous testing system.
What is a Biometric Passport?
A biometric passport, or digital passport, is both a paper and electronic passport all in one. Embedded in it is biometric information which identifies you when you present it to an authority like the United States Immigration and Citizenship Service for identification purposes. It uses technology called the contactless smart card which has a microprocessor chip or computer chip and accompanied antenna embedded either in the back or front cover, or middle page of your passport.
Your key information is printed on the dedicated data page in the passport, as well as being stored away in the chip. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authenticates the data that is stored in the passport's chip electronically which is difficult to forge as long as all the security mechanisms have been properly applied. There are standardized biometrics which are fingerprints, facial recognition and iris recognition and these are stored in the passport to ensure identification.
Passport Translation Can Be Beneficial
A passport translation is always useful, but there are some countries that actually require a passport translation, such as Libya. Recently, Libya made the headlines when a group of tourists were barred from entering the country, even though they were each in possession of a valid passport and they had the required Libyan visas. Libya demands an Arabic translation of your passport before you can enter the country. Our translators at Cinch Translations know which countries a passport translation is required and have a team of experienced translators in over 90 languages ready to meet your needs.
If you have planned to visit a country where most people speak a different language from your own, getting a passport translation before you leave could be the wisest decision you have ever made.
The Languages that Dominate Passports Around the World
In the United States, following the League of Nations gathering in 1920, it was decided that passports were to be issued in both English and French. Spanish was only added in the late 1990s to US passports due to Puerto Rico becoming recognized as Spanish-speaking in the U.S. commonwealth. In New Zealand, passports are in both English and Māori. Passports in Pakistan include English, Arabic, Urdu and French. In Belgium, Dutch, German and French are used, but recipients of these passports can select which language would be seen first.

Pope Clement XI (_PHONE_) ordered Francesco Bianchini (_PHONE_) to build a Meridian Line. Bianchini was the Secretary of the Commission for the Calendar. He chose the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli because of the stability of its roman walls and foundations and its suitable dimension. The Line built by Giandomenico Cassini (_PHONE_) in 1655 in San Petronio, Bologna, was the model for Bianchini, who improved it by allowing the observation of stellar transits.
Pope Clement XI inaugurated the Great Sundial on October 6, 1702, the annual Feast of St. Bruno, founder of the Carthusian Order, whose statue is in the entrance of the Church. Carthusian monks ruled this Basilica for three centuries until 1884.

Adverse maternal and fetal outcomes in a novel experimental model of pregnancy after recovery from renal ischemia-reperfusion injury
Ellen E. Gillis, Michael W. Brands, Jennifer C. SullivanJournal of the American Society of Nephrology2021
Background Recent clinical studies report that women with a history of AKI have an increased incidence of maternal and fetal adverse outcomes during pregnancy, despite fully recovering renal function prior to conception. The mechanisms contributing to such adverse outcomes in pregnancy after AKI are not yet understood. Methods To develop a rodent model to investigate fetal and maternal outcomes in female animals with a history of AKI, we used ischemia-reperfusion injury as an experimental model of AKI in female Sprague Dawley rats. The 12-week-old animals underwent warm bilateral ischemia-reperfusion surgery involving clamping of both renal arteries for 45 minutes or sham surgery (control). Rats were allowed to recover for 1 month prior to mating. Recovery from ischemia-reperfusion injury was confirmed by measurements of plasma creatinine and urinary protein excretion. We assessed maternal and fetal outcomes during late pregnancy on gestational day 20. Results After recovery from ischemia-reperfusion injury, compared with healthy sham-surgery controls, dams exhibited pregnancy-induced renal insufficiency with increases in plasma creatinine and urea, along with increased urinary protein excretion. Additionally, recovered ischemia-reperfusion dams experienced worse fetal outcomes compared with controls, with intrauterine growth restriction leading to higher rates of fetal demise and smaller pups. Conclusions In this rat model, despite biochemical resolution of ischemia-reperfusion injury, subsequent pregnancy resulted in maternal renal insufficiency and significant impairments in fetal growth. This mirrors findings in recent reports in the clinical population, indicating that this model may be a useful tool to further explore the alterations in kidney function after AKI in women.

Supervisor: Heejung Shim
Available for: MSc/PhD and undergraduate research projects.
Location: Melbourne Integrative Genomics, University of Melbourne
Project title: Machine learning methods for mRNA alternative splicing
Background: Alternative splicing of pre-mRNA allows a single gene to produce different proteins in eukaryotes, and they have been shown to affect various gene functions, and eventually disease. We have developed a method for inference of the underlying splicing processes using RNA-seq data and produced the software package, McSplicer (_URL_ Currently, we are building on the proposed method to develop new machine learning methods for identification of differential splicing events.
Proposed projects: The specific project will depend on the student's interest and background. Options are 1) benchmarking currently available methods against McSplicer and analyzing RNA-seq data to better understand splicing processes, 2) contributing to the development of new machine learning methods, or 3) software development for the new machine learning methods.
Learning outcomes: software development, statistics / machine learning, programming and analysis using Python (optionally R), statistical analysis of complex and large-scale genomic data, data visualization.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Melodic dictation is a cognitively demanding process that requires students to hear a melody, then without any access to an external reference, transcribe the melody within a limited time frame. Despite its ubiquity in curricula within School of Music settings, exactly how an individual learns a melody is not well understood. This dissertation aims to fill the gap in the literature between aural skills practitioners and music psychologists in order to reach conclusions that can be applied systematically in pedagogical contexts. In order to do this, I synthesize literature from music theory, music psychology, and music education in order to demonstrate how tools from both cognitive psychology as well as computational musicology can be used to help inform pedagogical practices.
In the second chapter, I discuss factors that might play a role in a student's ability to take melodic dictation and put forward a taxonomy of factors that are assumed to contribute to an individual's ability to take melodic dictation. The third chapter of the dissertation investigates individual factors that are theorized to contribute to melodic dictation using a cross-sectional experimental design. The chapter corroborates claims on the importance of understanding individual differences in working memory capacity in research on melodic dictation. The fourth chapter discusses how aural skills pedagogy can incorporate methodologies from computational musicology in order to inform teaching practice. In my fifth chapter, I introduce the MeloSol corpus, a new collection of 783 digitized melodies encoded in the **kern format. In the sixth chapter, I synthesize the previous research in a melodic dictation experiment to show how using robust statistical methods can be used model melodic dictation. Finally, in my seventh chapter, I introduce a computational, cognitive model of melodic dictation with the goal of helping explain how students improve at melodic dictation. I demonstrate how modeling the cognitive decision process during melodic dictation helps provide a precise framework for pedagogues to understand student's inner cognition during melodic dictation and can help inform teaching practice.

The Milkwater is a river located beyond the Wall. It is created from several tributaries that originate in the Frostfangs, and runs south along the mountain range until it pours its waters into the Bay of Ice. It carves a deep gorge through the mountains as it empties into the sea at the western end of the Wall, which is guarded by the Shadow Tower.
The Milkwater has four main branches, none of which has been revealed to have a formal name - they are all considered part of "the Milkwater". One major branch runs all the way north along the mountain range, almost to the valley of the Thenn. The next branch runs northwest from the Fist of the First Men, north of the Skirling Pass. A third branch runs south of the Fist and the Skirling Pass. The fourth and southernmost branch actually doesn't originate in the Frostfangs, but in the Haunted Forest to the east. Indeed, it extends as far east as Castle Black (though at a much northern latitude), and runs past Craster's Keep. This final branch joins the river somewhat north of the Shadow Tower.
