How much is 75 percent off 43000
How to calculate 75 percent-off $43000. How to figure out percentages off a price. Using this calculator you will find that the amount after the discount is $10750. To find any discount, just use our Discount Calculator below.
Percent-off Calculator?Please change the values of the two first boxes below and get answers to any combination of values.
Original price: $
Discount percentage: %
Final Price: $
Using this calculator you can find the discount value and the discounted price of an item. It is helpfull to answer questions like:
- What is 75 percent (%) off $43000?
- How much will you pay for an item where the original price before discount is $43000 when discounted 75 percent (%)? What is the final or sale price?
- $32250 is what percent off $43000?
To calculate discount it is ease by using the following formulas:
- Amount Saved = Orig. Price x Discount % / 100 (a)
- Sale Price = Orig. Price - Amount Saved (b)
How to calculate 75 Percent-off
Now, let's solve the questions stated above:
1) What is 75 percent off $43000? Find the amount of discount.
Suppose you have a Kohls coupon of $43000 and you want to know how much you will save for an item if the discount is 75 percent.
Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:
Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,
Amount Saved = 43000 x 75 / 100
Amount Saved = _PHONE_ / 100
Amount Saved = $32250 (answer).
In other words, a 75% discount for a item with original price of $43000 is equal to $32250 (Amount Saved).
Note that to find the amount saved, just multiply it by the percentage and divide by 100.
2) How much to pay for an item of $43000 when discounted 75 percent (%)? What is item's sale price?
Suppose you have a L.L. Bean coupon of $43000 and you want to know the final or sale price if the discount is 75 percent.
Using the formula (b) and replacing the given values:
Sale Price = Original Price - Amount Saved. So,
Sale Price = 43000 - 32250
Sale Price = $10750 (answer).
This means the cost of the item to you is $10750.
You will pay $10750 for a item with original price of $43000 when discounted 75%.
In this example, if you buy an item at $43000 with 75% discount, you will pay 43000 - 32250 = 10750 dollars.
3) 32250 is what percent off 43000 dollars?
Using the formula (b) and replacing given values:
Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent /100. So,
32250 = 43000 x Discount in Percent / 100
32250 / 43000 = Discount in Percent /100
100 x 32250 / 43000 = Discount in Percent
_PHONE_ / 43000 = Discount in Percent, or
Discount in Percent = 75 (answer).

However, all the facilities in the DSDL are available to these methods as well, should a resource type developer have a need for these methods. Typically, the Init and the Boot methods would be exactly the same for a resource type implementation to implement a one time action. The Fini method typically would perform an action which undoes the action of the Init or Boot methods.

Hello Clearwater,sorry for the delay,the question needed to be switched to the correct category,then my server crashed.
The distributor on these engines is a real source of confusion. If it has an odd-fire pattern that results in 45 and 75 degree spacing on the lobes around the distributor shaft, you would think the distributor cap has that same sort of spacing? No, not in this case. What the original engine designers did was take advantage of the fact that the contact point on the rotor can be made longer than normal. Draw a circle that follows the circumference of the rotor's outer contact, then draw a straight line from the center of the circle to one end of the rotor contact and another line to the other end. What you've just drawn is an angle of at least 15 degrees. Since the evenly spaced lobes on an odd-fire points type distributor cap are 60 degrees apart and the distributor shaft lobes are at 45 and 75 degrees, a little subtraction tells you that this will all work out. Simply put, 50% of the time ignition is taking place when the forward end of the rotor contact passes a distributor cap lobe, and the other 50% of the time ignition happens when the trailing end of the rotor contact passes a distributor cap lobe. Here are some pictures of the components.

_TAG_ int dladdr(void *address, Dl_info_t *dlip);
int dladdr1(void *address, Dl_info_t *dlip, void **info, int flags);
The dladdr() and dladdr1() functions determine if the specified address is located within one of the mapped objects that make up the current applications address space. An address is deemed to fall within a mapped object when it is between the base address, and the _end address of that object. See NOTES. If a mapped object fits this criteria, the symbol table made available to the runtime linker is searched to locate the nearest symbol to the specified address. The nearest symbol is one that has a value less than or equal to the required address.
The Dl_info_t structure must be preallocated by the user. The structure members are filled in by dladdr(), based on the specified address. The Dl_info_t structure includes the following members:
const char *dli_fname; void *dli_fbase; const char *dli_sname; void *dli_saddr;
The Dl_info_t members provide the following information.
Contains a pointer to the filename of the containing object.
Contains the base address of the containing object.
Contains a pointer to the symbol name that is nearest to the specified address. This symbol either represents the exact address that was specified, or is the nearest symbol with a lower address.
Contains the actual address of the symbol pointed to by dli_sname.
The dladdr1() function provides for addition information to be returned as specified by the flags argument:
Obtain the ELF symbol table entry for the matched symbol. The info argument points to a symbol pointer as defined in (Elf32_Sym **info or Elf64_Sym **info). Most of the information found in an ELF symbol can only be properly interpreted by the runtime linker. However, there are two fields that contain information useful to the caller of dladdr1(): The st_size field contains the size of the referenced item. The st_info field provides symbol type and binding attributes. See the Linker and Libraries Guild for more information.
Obtain the Link_map for the matched file. The info argument points to a Link_map pointer as defined in (Link_map **info).
If the specified address cannot be matched to a mapped object, a 0 is returned. Otherwise, a non-zero return is made and the associated Dl_info_t elements are filled.
The dladdr() and dladdr1() functions are one of a family of functions that give the user direct access to the dynamic linking facilities. These facilities are available to dynamically-linked processes only. See Linker and Libraries Guide.
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
The Dl_info_t pointer elements point to addresses within the mapped objects. These pointers can become invalid if objects are removed prior to these elements use. See dlclose(3C).
If no symbol is found to describe the specified address, both the dli_sname and dli_saddr members are set to 0.
If the address specified exists within a mapped object in the range between the base address and the address of the first global symbol in the object, the reserved local symbol _START_ is returned. This symbol acts as a label representing the start of the mapped object. As a label, this symbol has no size. The dli_saddr member is set to the base address of the associated object. The dli_sname member is set to the symbol name _START_. If the flag argument is set to RTLD_DL_SYMENT, symbol information for _START_ is returned.
If an object is acting as a filter, care should be taken when interpreting the address of any symbol obtained using a handle to this object. For example, using dlsym(3C) to obtain the symbol _end for this object, results in returning the address of the symbol _end within the filtee, not the filter. For more information on filters see the Linker and Libraries Guide.

Troubleshoot Azure Files
This article lists common issues related to Azure Files. It also provides possible causes and resolutions for these problems.
If you can't find an answer to your question, you can contact us through the following channels (in escalating order):
- Microsoft Q&A question page for Azure Files.
- Azure Community Feedback.
- Microsoft Support. To create a new support request, sign into the Azure portal, and on the Help tab, select the Help + support button, and then select New support request.
|File share type||SMB||NFS|
|Standard file shares (GPv2), LRS/ZRS|
|Standard file shares (GPv2), GRS/GZRS|
|Premium file shares (FileStorage), LRS/ZRS|
General troubleshooting first steps
If you encounter problems with Azure Files, start with these steps. You can also use the Azure file shares troubleshooter, which can help with problems connecting, mapping, and mounting Azure file shares.
Check DNS resolution and connectivity to your Azure file share
The most common problem encountered by Azure Files customers is that mounting or accessing the Azure file share fails because of an incorrect networking configuration. This can happen with any of the three file sharing protocols that Azure Files supports: SMB, NFS, and FileREST.
The following table provides the SMB, NFS, and FileREST requirements for which of the network endpoints of a storage account they can use, and which port that endpoint can be accessed over. To learn more about network endpoints, see Azure Files networking considerations.
|Protocol name||Unrestricted public endpoint||Restricted public endpoint||Private endpoint||Required port|
To mount or access a file share successfully, your client must:
Be able to resolve the fully qualified domain name of the storage account (ex.
mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net) to the correct IP address for the desired network endpoint of the storage account.
Establish a successful TCP connection to the correctly resolved IP address on the correct port for the desired protocol.
You must use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for your storage account when mounting/accessing the share. The following commands will let you see the current IP addresses of the network endpoints of your storage account, but you should not hardcode these IP addresses into any scripts, firewall configurations, or other locations. IP addresses aren't guaranteed to remain the same, and may change at any time.
Check DNS name resolution
The following command lets you test the DNS name resolution of your storage account.
# If you have changed the DNS configuration in your environment, it may be helpful to clear # the DNS client cache to ensure you're getting the updated DNS name resolution. Clear-DnsClientCache # Replace this value with the fully qualified domain name for your storage account. # Different storage accounts, especially in different Azure environments, # may have different suffixes than file.core.windows.net, so be sure to use the correct # suffix for your storage account. $hostName = "mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net" # Do the name resolution. Piping to Format-List is optional. Resolve-DnsName -Name $hostName | Format-List
The output returned by
Resolve-DnsName may be different depending on your environment and desired networking configuration. For example, if you are trying to access the public endpoint of the storage account that does not have a private endpoint configured, you would see a result that looks like the following, where
x.x.x.x is the IP address of the cluster
file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net of the Azure storage platform that serves your storage account:
Name : mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 27 Section : Answer NameHost : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net Name : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net QueryType : A TTL : 60 Section : Answer IP4Address : x.x.x.x
If you are trying to access the public endpoint of a storage account that has one or more private endpoints configured, you would expect to see a result that looked something like the following. Note that an additional CNAME record for
mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net has been inserted in between the normal FQDN of the storage account and the name of storage cluster. This enables name resolution to the public endpoint's IP address when the user is accessing from the internet, and resolution to the private endpoint's IP address when the user is accessing from inside of an Azure virtual network (or peered network).
Name : mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 60 Section : Answer NameHost : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net Name : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 60 Section : Answer NameHost : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net Name : file.phx10prdstf01a.store.core.windows.net QueryType : A TTL : 60 Section : Answer IP4Address : x.x.x.x
If you are resolving to a private endpoint, you would normally expect an A record for
mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net that maps to your private endpoint's IP address:
Name : mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net Type : CNAME TTL : 53 Section : Answer NameHost : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net Name : mystorageaccount.privatelink.file.core.windows.net QueryType : A TTL : 10 Section : Answer IP4Address : 10.0.0.5
Check TCP connectivity
The following command lets you test your client's ability to make a TCP connection to the resolved IP address/port number.
# Replace this value with the fully qualified domain name for your storage account. # Different storage accounts, especially in different Azure environments, # may have different suffixes than file.core.windows.net, so be sure to use the correct # suffix for your storage account. $hostName = "mystorageaccount.file.core.windows.net" # Do the TCP connection test - see the above protocol/port table to figure out which # port to use for your test. This test uses port 445, the port used by SMB. Test-NetConnection -ComputerName $hostName -Port 445
If the connection was successfully established, you should expect to see the following result:
ComputerName : mystorageAccount.file.core.windows.net RemoteAddress : x.x.x.x RemotePort : 445 InterfaceAlias : Ethernet SourceAddress : y.y.y.y TcpTestSucceeded : True
Both Windows clients and Linux clients can use
AzFileDiagnostics to ensure that the client environment has the correct prerequisites.
AzFileDiagnostics automates symptom detection and helps set up your environment to get optimal performance.

New research shows it only takes one question to identify narcissism
All it takes to identify a narcissist is a simple question.
According to Ohio State researchers, there is a new way to test and identify narcissism. Surprisingly, this test consists of a single question. For this reason, this method of testing is called the Single Item Narcissism Scale (SINS).
The researchers conducted a series of 11 experiments on over 2,200 people of all ages. They found that they could accurately identify whether a person was a narcissist based on their response to the following question and the note which accompanies it:
Participants had to respond to the question by rating themselves on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 and 7 represent 'not very true of me' and 'very true of me' respectively.
The study concluded that results from the SINS aligned closely with other measures for narcissism.
The advantage of this method of testing is the time it takes to be completed; that is, it takes only 20 seconds to answer the SINS whereas it can take over 10 minutes to complete the widely used Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI). In other words, a narcissist can be identified much quicker through the SINS' 1 question instead of the NPI's 40!
Brad Bushman, co-author of the study and a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State University, commented on the results of the study as he said:
People who are willing to admit they are more narcissistic than others probably actually are more narcissistic […] People who are narcissists are almost proud of the fact. You can ask them directly because they don't see narcissism as a negative quality — they believe they are superior to other people and are fine with saying that publicly."
Despite the success of the SINS, Bushman noted that it should not replace the existing methods used to measure narcissism. The reason for this is that the one question tool does not provide enough information. While the test does work to identify narcissism, it does not help identify the type of narcissism. Other methods of testing – such as the NIP – give researchers more data, allowing them to identify these types.

Work in progress:
In this paper we develop a theoretical model to investigate the effect on a bank's financial stability of having multiple contingent convertible bonds buffers (CoCos) on the same bank balance sheet, using cash-in-the-market pricing and global games methodologies. Contingent convertible bonds are meant to act as a bail-in mechanism for banks, where CoCo debt converts into equity when a bank needs it the most. We find that having CoCo buffers which trigger at different capitalisation levels can be detrimental for the CoCo bail-in capacity. Market-based triggers lead to premature conversion and fire-sales of equity. In contrast with existing literature, we show that book-based trigger CoCos yield an optimal outcome, as long as they incorporate expected credit losses.
Risk-Taking, Competition and Uncertainty. Do CoCo Bonds Increase the Risk Appetite of Banks?
(joint with Mahmoud Fatouh, Bank of England, and Sweder van Wijnbergen, UvA)
We assess the impact of contingent convertible (CoCo) bonds and the wealth transfers they imply conditional on conversion on risk-taking behaviour of the issuing bank. We also test for regulatory arbitrage: do banks by issuing CoCos try to maintain risk taking incentives when regulators reduce them by insisting on higher capitalization ratios? While we test for and reject sample selection bias, we show that CoCo bonds issuance has a strong positive effect on risk-taking behaviour, and so do conversion parameters that reduce dilution of existing shareholders upon conversion. Higher volatility amplifies the impact of CoCos on risk taking.

「もしも」の語り合いが開く子ども理解の可能性 : 複線径路・等至性モデル（TEM）を応用した園内研修の試み
Development of Understanding Children by Discussing the "ifs" : The trial of Early Childhood Education and Care Conference using Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM)
Understanding children is important in the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) practice. The ECEC conference is an opportunity for practitioners to deepen their understanding of children. This research focuses on the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM), which is the methodology of qualitative research as a tool promoting a practitioner's understanding of children in the ECEC conference. The features of the TEM are modeling the process of a research participant's experience and imagining and considering the possibilities ("ifs") of a different experience from just the facts. This research clarifies the meaning of these features of the TEM for the practitioner's understanding of children. The ECEC conference use of the TEM was tried, and the conversation of the practitioners there was analyzed. As a result, it was revealed that two developments of understanding children was brought to the practitioners by discussing the experience and the "ifs" of the target child. First, the practitioners can obtain a reasonable understanding of the cases and the children by comparing the facts and the "ifs." Second, the practitioners can discover a child's potential capabilities and demands by imagining the figure of a child's "ifs." Therefore, the ECEC conference using the TEM supports the practitioners catching a child's state and intentionality and planning a suitable assistance.

Application deadline 1 March 2009!
Aims and contents of the summer school
Water is fundamental to life as we know it on
Earth. Among the central issues in astrobiology are the questions:
- How it was water formed in space?
- What role does it play in planet formation
- How did it finally reached Earth's surface
- How did life finally emerge in water
under the extreme conditions
prevailing on early Earth?
The summer school "Water, ice
and the Origin of Life in the Universe", which will be held in
Iceland from 29 June to 13 July 2009, aims to
give participants a thorough high-level introduction into the role of
water in the evolution of life in the cosmos, starting from formation of
water molecules in space and ending with evolution of the first
organisms. Lab work on extremophiles (especially organisms living in
very hot or cold water) will complement the teaching, since a lot can be
learned about the evolution of life under the very harsh conditions
prevailing on early Earth by studying such species.
The Summer School will bring together students
and researchers from a multitude of different science branches, making
it a truly multidisciplinary event. It will be organised by the Nordic
Network of Astrobiology Graduate Schools together with the NASA Astrobiology
Institute. Iceland is an ideal venue for such an event,
providing ideal habitats for coldand hot water extremophiles
(subglacial lakes and hot springs).
Please click on the links for the summer school
programme, a schedule in.doc format and information about the teachers.

Assistance is a property of instruction. Intuitively, assistance refers to how much help the learner gets from the instruction as they are learning. The term scaffolding is nearly synonymous.
Operationally, assistance is equated with the probability of a good performance during training. For instance, if the training involves solving a multi-step problem, and the experimental instruction causes students to have a higher probability of correctly entering steps than the control instruction, then the experimental instruction has a higher degree of assistance.
Theoretically, one can decide whether one instructional method provides more assistance than another by analysis of whether one gives more information than the other. For instance, a worked example gives more information than the analogous problem because the worked example gives the answer and the steps to solve the problem whereas the problem withholds the answer and steps. In other words, because a problem provides a logical subset of the information provided by a matched worked example, a problem is less assistance than a worked example.
It is important to emphasize that saying students get more instructional assistance from one instructional method than another does not mean students will learn more. Assistance is not equal to learning. Sometimes less assistance is better, for instance, because it may be more engaging or because it may require more deep thought or sense making. This difficult challenge for an instructional designer of deciding when to give more assistance or information versus when to withhold it is the assistance dilemma. That students with higher competence may benefit from lower levels of assistance is the assistance hypothesis.
Different forms or dimensions of instructional assistance can be found here. See also an even broader set of instructional methods and a more narrow set of instructional principles and hypotheses. Macro-level framework

Hash Based Block Matching for Digital Evidence Image Files from Forensic Software Tools
Internet use, intelligent communication tools, and social media have all become an integral part of our daily life as a result of rapid developments in information technology. However, this widespread use increases crimes committed in the digital environment. Therefore, digital forensics, dealing with various crimes committed in digital environment, has become an important research topic. It is in the research scope of digital forensics to investigate digital evidences such as computer, cell phone, hard disk, DVD, etc. and to report whether it contains any crime related elements. There are many software and hardware tools developed for use in the digital evidence acquisition process. Today, the most widely used digital evidence investigation tools are based on the principle of finding all the data taken place in digital evidence that is matched with specified criteria and presenting it to the investigator (e.g. text files, files starting with letter A, etc.). Then, digital forensics experts carry out data analysis to figure out whether these data are related to a potential crime. Examination of a 1 TB hard disk may take hours or even days, depending on the expertise and experience of the examiner. In addition, it depends on examiner's experience, and may change overall result involving in different cases overlooked. In this study, a hash-based matching and digital evidence evaluation method is proposed, and it is aimed to automatically classify the evidence containing criminal elements, thereby shortening the time of the digital evidence examination process and preventing human errors.
An Overview of Evaluations Using Augmented Reality for Assembly Training Tasks
Augmented Reality (AR) is a strong growing research topic in different training domains such as medicine, sports, military, education and industrial use cases like assembly and maintenance tasks. AR claims to improve the efficiency and skill-transfer of training tasks. This paper gives a comprehensive overview of evaluations using AR for assembly and maintenance training tasks published between 1992 and 2017. We search in a structured way in four different online databases and get 862 results. We select 17 relevant articles focusing on evaluating AR-based training applications for assembly and maintenance tasks. This paper also indicates design guidelines which are necessary for creating a successful application for an AR-based training. We also present five scientific limitations in the field of AR-based training for assembly tasks. Finally, we show our approach to solve current research problems using Design Science Research (DSR).
Elephant Herding Optimization for Service Selection in QoS-Aware Web Service Composition
Web service composition combines available services
to provide new functionality. Given the number of available
services with similar functionalities and different non functional
aspects (QoS), the problem of finding a QoS-optimal web service
composition is considered as an optimization problem belonging to
NP-hard class. Thus, an optimal solution cannot be found by exact
algorithms within a reasonable time. In this paper, a meta-heuristic
bio-inspired is presented to address the QoS aware web service
composition; it is based on Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO)
algorithm, which is inspired by the herding behavior of elephant
group. EHO is characterized by a process of dividing and combining
the population to sub populations (clan); this process allows the
exchange of information between local searches to move toward
a global optimum. However, with Applying others evolutionary

SENSE-SEAT: Improving Creativity and Productivity through the Redesign of a Multisensory Technological Office Chair
The current trend of organizations offering their workers open-office spaces and co-working offices has been primed for stimulating teamwork and collaboration. However, this is not always valid as these kinds of spaces bring other types of challenges that compromise workers productivity and creativity. We present an approach for improving creativity and productivity at the workspace by redesigning an office chair that incorporates subtle technological elements that help users focus, relax and being more productive and creative. This sheds light on how we can better design interactive furniture for such popular contexts, as we develop this new chair through a multidisciplinary approach using ergonomics, interior design, interaction design, hardware and software engineering and psychology.
Analysis of the Topics of Research of Brazilian Researchers Acting in the Areas of Engineering
The production and publication of scientific works
have increased significantly in the last years, being the Internet
the main factor of access and diffusion of these. In view of this,
researchers from several areas of knowledge have carried out several
studies on scientific production data in order to analyze phenomena
and trends about science. The understanding of how research has
evolved can, for example, serve as a basis for building scientific
policies for further advances in science and stimulating research
groups to become more productive. In this context, the objective
of this work is to analyze the main research topics investigated
along the trajectory of the Brazilian science of researchers working
in the areas of engineering, in order to map scientific knowledge
and identify topics in highlights. To this end, studies are carried
out on the frequency and relationship of the keywords of the set of
scientific articles registered in the existing curricula in the Lattes
Platform of each one of the selected researchers, counting with the
aid of bibliometric analysis features.
The Application of Line Balancing Technique and Simulation Program to Increase Productivity in Hard Disk Drive Components
This study aims to investigate the balancing of the number of operators (Line Balancing technique) in the production line of hard disk drive components in order to increase efficiency. At present, the trend of using hard disk drives has continuously declined leading to limits in a company's revenue potential. It is important to improve and develop the production process to create market share and to have the ability to compete with competitors with a higher value and quality. Therefore, an effective tool is needed to support such matters. In this research, the Arena program was applied to analyze the results both before and after the improvement. Finally, the precedent was used before proceeding with the real process. There were 14 work stations with 35 operators altogether in the RA production process where this study was conducted. In the actual process, the average production time was 84.03 seconds per product piece (by timing 30 times in each work station) along with a rating assessment by implementing the Westinghouse principles. This process showed that the rating was 123% underlying an assumption of 5% allowance time. Consequently, the standard time was 108.53 seconds per piece. The Takt time was calculated from customer needs divided by working duration in one day; 3.66 seconds per piece. Of these, the proper number of operators was 30 people. That meant five operators should be eliminated in order to increase the production process. After that, a production model was created from the actual process by using the Arena program to confirm model reliability; the outputs from imitation were compared with the original (actual process) and this comparison indicated that the same output meaning was reliable. Then, worker numbers and their job responsibilities were remodeled into the Arena program. Lastly, the efficiency of production process enhanced from 70.82% to 82.63% according to the target.
Materialized View Effect on Query Performance
Currently, database management systems have various tools such as backup and maintenance, and also provide statistical information such as resource usage and security. In terms of query performance, this paper covers query optimization, views, indexed tables, pre-computation materialized view, query performance analysis in which query plan alternatives can be created and the least costly one selected to optimize a query. Indexes and views can be created for related table columns. The literature review of this study showed that, in the course of time, despite the growing capabilities of the database management system, only database administrators are aware of the need for dealing with archival and transactional data types differently. These data may be constantly changing data used in everyday life, and also may be from the completed questionnaire whose data input was completed. For both types of data, the database uses its capabilities; but as shown in the findings section, instead of repeating similar heavy calculations which are carrying out same results with the same query over a survey results, using materialized view results can be in a more simple way. In this study, this performance difference was observed quantitatively considering the cost of the query.
Burnout Recognition for Call Center Agents by Using Skin Color Detection with Hand Poses
Call centers have been expanding and they have influence on activation in various markets increasingly. A call center's work is known as one of the most demanding and stressful jobs. In this paper, we propose the fatigue detection system in order to detect burnout of call center agents in the case of a neck pain and upper back pain. Our proposed system is based on the computer vision technique combined skin color detection with the Viola-Jones object detector. To recognize the gesture of hand poses caused by stress sign, the YCbCr color space is used to detect the skin color region including face and hand poses around the area related to neck ache and upper back pain. A cascade of clarifiers by Viola-Jones is used for face recognition to extract from the skin color region. The detection of hand poses is given by the evaluation of neck pain and upper back pain by using skin color detection and face recognition method. The system performance is evaluated using two groups of dataset created in the laboratory to simulate call center environment. Our call center agent burnout detection system has been implemented by using a web camera and has been processed by MATLAB. From the experimental results, our system achieved 96.3% for upper back pain detection and 94.2

Denmark's history and pioneering past
The first people to arrive in the Denmark area
were Aborigines, thought to be about 40,000 years ago.
has been found, such as fish traps in Wilson Inlet and carbon from Aboriginal
cooking fires identified in the sand from a cave near Ocean Beach.
Thomas Braidwood Wilson, a Scottish navy surgeon,
discovered this area in 1829 when conducting an expedition from Frederickstown -
later to become Albany. He came across the river here and named it the Denmark
River, after Dr Alexander Denmark RN, his friend and former tutor at Naval
Medical College in England.
The town grew around the banks of the river and was
initially known as Denmark River, but the word 'river' was later dropped. The
town's name, you see, has nothing to do with the country of the same name.
The first European land use was by graziers
and, in 1893, the Millar brothers set up a sawmilling operation on the Denmark
River to meet the needs of the Goldfields which used huge amounts of timber …
and here the story of the town of Denmark began.
The timber industry lasted a mere decade, leaving in its wake only a few hardy settlers. Following
World War II, improvements in agriculture and a revival in timber cutting rejuvenated the district, and the population has grown at
an average 4% per year since the mid-1980s, supporting new settlers and innovative industries.

The Value of Singing With Different Ages
= calgary children's choir
There are many reasons why it is valuable to sing with others, but it is especially beneficial to sing with others of different ages. Here are three reasons why:
#1. Voice types:
For many children, being able to sing with the full spectrum of voice types is something they have to wait until they are grown to experience. Because our program runs from age 3 up until age 25, and because we often sing with adult choirs, and musical groups with varying voice types, we are able to expose our choristers to the full range of the human voice. This is essential to their ear training, and to their confidence as singers, as they move from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood.
#2. Musical Abilities:
We accept singers of all abilities, and this helps us to foster a community of people who above all, love singing. We believe that everyone has something to learn, and that allowing different ages, and musical abilities to come together to make music, ensures that everyone can take something valuable away from the experience.
#3. Mentoring:
In the Calgary Children's Choir we have developed a mentorship program from our youngest singers to the oldest. This program ensures an inclusive, and welcoming environment for all singers, and provides support to our newest choristers, or those who need extra help with music. Our eldest choristers, look out for the youngest ones (and sometimes vice versa!), ensuring a caring, and committed group of choristers who are happy to be together and make wonderful music!
Why do you think it is valuable for people of all ages to sing together? Tell us in the comments below!

Next week Sophie is back in Japan for the second part of the Playable City Residency.
The Playable City programme has been leading investigations of how to deepen people's engagement with their cities since 2012. Artists in the programme have developed many novel ways of interacting with the city: giving street furniture a voice, showing people traces of the others who have crossed their paths, giving people a framework to interact with strangers and the night sky.
I wanted to pull some focus onto the city itself, and interrogate the effect particular places have on play. Use action research to explore how people respond in different surroundings, and which invitations people respond to most strongly, as part of building a practical methodology for siting playful installations. So I'm using one of the simplest and most universal childhood games KenKenPa (a hopscotch analogue), to test some things out with the citizens of Tokyo.
Relaxing into deep play requires being comfortable enough to be vulnerable. It helps to be with other people who can re-inforce your decision to play. It requires people to be in a space they feel is for them in some way. Observing them make those decisions in real time, on the streets, reveals so much about how they feel in different spaces.
Taking play out onto the open streets has benefits for the overall life of the city. It draws people together, changes the ballet of street life in positive ways, and serves those who would not decide to travel somewhere just to play.
I'm looking forward to trying things out on the street and getting some results.


Sites often require the functionality to create orders to be fulfilled repeatedly on a specific schedule, or to construct and save orders to be placed at a later date. You can use ATG Commerce to support these requirements through the use of scheduled orders.
In ATG Commerce, a scheduled Order object (of type scheduledOrder) maintains the schedule information for the scheduled order, and a template Order object maintains the order information for the scheduled order. The template Order object is a typical Order in the orderRepository, but it has a state of TEMPLATE. When a scheduled order is placed, the template order is cloned, and the cloned order is checked out and sent to Fulfillment. Consequently, the template Order is never processed, but simply serves as a prototype.
Template orders must include enough information, such as all necessary shipping and payment information, to process the cloned Order without further user interaction. A previously processed order or even the user's shopping cart (once the shipping and payment information has been specified) can be used to create a template order.
This section describes the ATG Commerce framework that supports scheduled orders and includes the following subsections:
For an example implementation of scheduled orders, see the Scheduling Orders section of the My Account chapter in the ATG Business Commerce Reference Application Guide.

KINGSTON, ON. Queen's University medical researchers today released some key findings from the first study of its kind done in Canada on the impact of colds and flu on school absenteeism, the workplace, and the economy.
The researchers reviewed more than 80 published clinical trials, studies and research projects representing the work of over 300 researchers from more than 100 universities and institutions.
In their report entitled "Why the Common Cold and Flu Matter", the researchers found:
Prevention can play a role in reducing the spread of illnesses. Queen's researchers say that school-aged children and young adults play a significant role in the spread of respiratory illnesses. In the U.S. the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention pegs missed school days as a result of colds at 22 million a year.
Studies by SDI, a research agency that tracks colds and flu in North America, have shown that there is an annual spike in colds and flu within the first two weeks of students' return to school in September, something supported by Queen's researchers who cite a sharp increase in pediatric asthma cases as a result of rhinovirus infection, the primary cause of colds. They point out that young children with respiratory symptoms play a major role in spreading colds to family and friends and, "...school-age children have been shown to introduce rhinovirus infections into their families 3 times more frequently than working adults."
But adults also play a significant role in the spread of infection. Queen's researchers found that the U.S. work force goes to work rather than calling in sick resulting in substantial losses of productivity and increased costs:
It costs employers twice as much in productivity losses for employees who come to work sick than for those who stay home. All of this infection adds up to a significant economic cost as researchers cite direct costs due to lost productivity from colds at $25 billion in the U.S. Taking into consideration both indirect (lost productivity) and direct (doctor visits and medicine) costs, of colds, the figure in the U.S. annually is $40 billion
Researchers conclude that, "Preventative measures that result in even a modest reduction in colds and flu would have a significant impact on reducing costs to the healthcare system and impact on the economy."
The study was conducted by the research arm of the Department of Family Medicine at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The study was supported by an independent educational grant from Afexa Life Sciences, the maker of COLD-FX(r), a cold and flu treatment.

Children are significantly more likely to maintain a relationship with financial institutions and have greater financial assets later in life when they own a savings account earlier in life. However, some children gain access to savings accounts while others do not—an inequity that tends to be based on parents' socio-economic status. This paper explores the case for extending financial inclusion to children by improving access to basic financial services. Such an approach may offer a number of economic benefits, especially among those children whose parents have limited financial resources. Policy innovations that make savings accounts widely available to children may be a valuable tool to trigger increased savings behavior that can continue into adulthood and lead to improved financial outcomes over the long-term.
This paper builds a case for extending early financial inclusion to children by discussing how early financial inclusion might accelerate their capabilities to save and presents research findings on the current state of children's savings. The paper discusses policy innovations and recommendations for designing an infrastructure that extends financial inclusion to children. The paper also presents research findings by Friedline and colleagues that inform how children experience early financial inclusion by predicting their financial outcomes, including savings accounts and amount saved.
Finally, research findings are used to describe how policies might be re-envisioned to develop infrastructure around children's savings and maximize benefits to children whose parents have few financial resources. The paper expands on the ASPIRE Act (a legislative proposal that would provide every American child with a savings account at birth for post-secondary education, homeownership and retirement) by proposing infrastructure improvements that more successfully extend financial inclusion to all children.

perlanalyst - analyse your Perl documents (without running them)
version 0.004
Perlanalyst is a tool to analyse your Perl documents. This is done via static analysis, e.g. the code is analysed without running it.
Before getting into all the gory details, here are some basic usage examples to help get you started.
 # find all subroutine declarations, recursively process all Perl
 # files beneath directory
 perlanalyst -all Sub
 # the same, but show only the declaration of the subroutine "foo"
 perlanalyst -all Sub --filter Name=foo
 # the same, but asked as a question
 perlananalyst --question Sub::Name=foo
 # the same, but look in another directory
 perlananalyst -q Sub::Name=foo ~/perl5/lib/perl5/Test
 # see a list of the files that would be examined
 perlanalyst --list-files
The Perlanalyst examines only files that end in.pl,.pm or.t except if you specify the file names directly on the command line.
It can also list files that would be analysed, without actually searching them.
The program descends through the directory tree of the starting directories specified. If no file or directory is specified, perlanalyst descends through the current directory.
-a NAME, --analysis NAME
Run the analysis of the given NAME.
-f NAME, --filter NAME
Send the results of the analysis through this filter. Can be specified multiple times, the filters are run in the order they appear one the command line.
-q NAME, --question NAME
Ask the question of that name.
List available analyses.
List available filters.
List files that would be examined. Does nothing else an exits afterwards.
List available questions.
An analysis examines a file in a simple way and returns a list of results. For example, a very simple analysis is: Give me all declarations of lexical variables.
A filter takes the results of an analysis and... um... filters it. An example would be: Give me all lexical variables with the name "foo".
A question is an analysis followed by one or more filters.
This is a proof of concept that was hacked together whilst enjoying the 13th German Perl Workshop in Frankfurt. Hacking was done on the train to and from Frankfurt and at the workshop itself.
Add database support.
The results of each analysis will be written to a database. Filters run on the data that was read from the database so analysis and questions can be performed in different steps.
More basic level analyses, filters and questions.
Write more basic analyses using PPI and file operations. Write more filters and combine them in questions.
Introduce higher level analysis, filters and questions.
Higher level anaylses combine results from lower level analyses. For example, to see what package variables are declared, we have to know where the keywords package and our are used and in what scope.
Run analyses only once per unmodified file.
Perform an analyses once to get that initial data for a file and then only if it was modified.
Build other tools around it.
The first one might be a simple web application (using Dancer?) to browse the database (using Dancer::Plugin::Database?).
The second one might be a simple RESTful server (using Dancer::Plugin::REST?).
The third one could be some kind of connection to Perl::Critic. Since this feels so natural and obvious to me, it might actually be the first one that should be built.
PPI is used for parsing the Perl documents.
Perl::Critic is a different kind of tool. It has the knowledge of experienced perl programmers built in and tells you if your code smells.

Many national poverty reduction strategies overlook the needs of young people. Even where national strategies do have a youth focus, the analysis of their situation is limitedbecause little or no reference is made to readily available data. For those advocating on behalf of young people in poverty, considerable scope exists to make use of simple but reputable statistics to mount a strong case for Governments and civil society to allocate more resources for addressing poverty among this major population group.
The purpose of this step-by-step guide is to show how relevant statistics on young people in poverty can be easily sourced for use in developing national poverty reduction strategies. The guide shows how to use accessible databases on the Internet to provide individual countries with sophisticated statistical profile of young people in poverty.
The available data can provide a profile at three levels of young people in poverty. At the broadest level, it is possible to show how significant young people, defined as a specific age group, are in a country's basic demographic structure now and in the future. The second level focuses in on the incidence of young people in poverty, using, for example, national averages based on Millennium Development Goals indicators. A third level of data offers a more differentiated picture of young people in poverty. This involves presenting detailed data, taking into account young people's differences by gender, rural/urban location, where the data is available, household poverty status.

What's the difference between a bathhouse and a sauna – Brief and simple Regarding the Gaps
Classic Variations
Among the most crucial differences is the steam. Russian bathing entails wet steam, but in the Finnish it's dry. What is it for? Steam, packed with moisture, permits you to utilize non-metallic atmosphere. Since the humidity is almost maximum, then from the body almost does not evaporate sweat. As a result, the body warms up considerably more efficiently, and the degree of dehydration is practically minimal.
Dry steam won't allow sudden overheating. Since perspiration is the major method of cooling the human body, the reduction of its evaporation in high humidity nearly entirely eliminates the chance of normal thermoregulation. In saunas, this hazard is greatly reduced. Historical outline
It's mistaken to think that the ancestor of the bath is historical Russia. History proves that in the remote past steam rooms have been among different peoples. Each nationality modified, additional new elements in the creation of their steam rooms.
By Turkey was inherited the bath called"Hamam", which in Arabic means heat supply. The forefathers of the eastern"hot" places are considered to be the Roman thermae. Muslims believed that in the steam rooms sinners are washed in the evil that consumes the entire body, mind and soul.
The Finnish sauna has been famous for many decades. Since its roots, the steam space has undergone few changes. The key characteristics and characteristics have been maintained to the day. In Finland, visiting the steam space is regarded as an obligatory ritual, a centuries-old tradition that can not be ignored.
In Russia, the building of the house long started with the building of the sweat lodge. In most European towns there were cases when seeing the baths was put under a ban, however the Russian sweat lodge was in honour and people didn't stop seeing it.
Features of this steam space
Frequently the structure is located individually. Usually, the bathhouse is erected from wood, more frequently coniferous species. Obligatorily the Russian bathroom includes two rooms. These are steam room and pre-bath, and it is also an anteroom, dressing room and rest room. All rooms always have a window. It is essential for greater ventilation.
From the pre-bath there is a sauna stove, which can be heated with wood. The principal element that generates heat are the stones – hence the title of the furnace, which is normally built in the partition between the rooms. The most important portion of it, in addition to the stones are from the steam space.
Stoves can be open and shut. Open solutions are considered practical, especially when the sauna is currently used as planned several times a day. Such a stove warms up the room faster. But because of the frequent watering of the rocks, it melts fast. Stones for all these structures are placed within the firebox. The furnace is able to heat up to 300 degrees.
Closed-type apparatus for improved heat transfer has a unique steam doorway. After the wood is burned and the door is closed, no more smoke enters the steam room. The furnace can heat the rocks to very severe temperatures. Before visiting the steam space, the door is ajar and the space is warmed up. Closed furnace has to be heated in advance – approximately two to five hours before the beginning of the procedure. As a result of properties of the stones, such a style can maintain heat for 2 days.
The gap between the bath and sauna will be from the design attributes, and more exactly in the arrangement of these stones. In the first case, they are put inside the furnace, so they're heated more sturdy and cool down very slowly. In the sauna that the stones are placed on the top layer of the furnace.
The warmth in Russian baths is prohibitive. In a temperature of 50-70 ° C humidity reaches 80%. Russians believe a broom to be the main accessory for the steam space. Just take into consideration the steam procedures, as immediately remembered twig patting physically. Someone utilizes tied bars for immediate use, others cooked the product and revel in the pleasant odor that spreads round the room.
In the Russian bathhouse you can not just lie on a plate and rest peacefully. Each steam session means walking behind the gangplank, raising up to distribute the air accumulation, and jumping sharply into the icy ice-hole. Russian bathhouse attendants are noteworthy for the fact that they like to shock their own bodies harshly. Besides high air temperature, which increases stress on the heart and blood vessels, and continuous motion forces the heart to work at an accelerated rate.
High humidity can help normalize the respiratory system. Many doctors prescribe a course of treatment in the steam room. The use of aromatic oils enhances the effect of hot steam in the body, reducing the chance of gout, osteochondrosis.

First Aid Basics
Your Dog's Vital Signs
Vital signs are those signs that veterinarians use as a baseline to assess how well your dog's overall physical system is functioning. Three basic vital signs that your veterinarian measures are your dog's heart rate (pulse), breathing rate and temperature. You too need to be aware of these vital signs -- what is normal for your dog and what is not -- and how to measure them so that you are better prepared to assess if something is wrong with your dog and to act quickly and appropriately to get him help.
Your Dog's Heart Rate
Your dog's normal heart rate depends on his age and size. For puppies below one year, a normal heart rate is approximately 120-160 beats per minute. For adult dogs 30 pounds and below, a normal heart rate is approximately 100-120 beats per minute. For adult dogs over 30 pounds, a normal heart rate is approximately 80-100 beats per minute
There are four locations from which you can easily measure your dog's heart rate or pulse:
To measure your dog's pulse from any of these locations, hold your middle finger and index finger on the pulse point. Count how many beats or pulses you can measure during a 60 second period.
Your Dog's Breathing Rate
Normal resting breathing rate for dogs is 10-30 breaths per minute. To measure your dog's resting breathing rate, have your dog either stand or lie down calmly. Observe your dog's ribcage and count the number of times his ribcage rises and falls during a 60 second period. There is a difference between panting (shallow breaths) and true breathing, so make sure you count breaths and not pants.
Your Dog's Temperature
Normal temperature for dogs ranges between 100 – 102.7 F. To take your dog's temperature you need to use a rectal thermometer. It is best to use a pediatric digital thermometer which can be found at most drugstores. Lubricate the thermometer tip with some petroleum jelly. Keep your dog in a standing position and hold his tail up. Carefully put just the tip of the thermometer into your dog's rectum until the required time for your thermometer to measure temperature has elapsed. Remove the thermometer and read his temperature.

text: The low tidal range of the Mediterranean Sea and the high sediment load of the Rhone induce the formation of an important submarine delta. The 137 Cs inventory in sediment on a 480 km 2 area near the Rhone mouth reached 19.6 TBq in 1990. The spatial distribution of both sediment accumulation rates and 137 Cs concentrations in this area confirm the existence of a spatially well-delimited zone, i.e. the prodelta, where both parameters are the highest. Thus, 40% of the total amount of 137 Cs stored in this 480 km 2 area was found within the prodelta (30 km 2 ) in the close vicinity of the river mouth. This attests to the efficiency of the 137 Cs trapping by the prodelta sediments. A study on the part the different 137 Cs sources in the Mediterranean Sea play in contributing to this inventory has been carried out. These sources are (i) direct deposition from both global fallout and the Chernobyl accident, (ii) indirect inputs arising from the erosion of surface soils of the Rhone catchment area that were also contaminated by the previous fallout, (iii) liquid effluents from the nuclear industry into the Rhone waters. Assuming that direct deposition is evenly distributed over the study area (480 km 2 ) and that the particulate 137 Cs input from the Rhone is entirely trapped in this same area, these sources account for about 50% of the inventory. These hypotheses are unlikely in a coastal area subject to various physical disturbances but they are conservative enough to assess the lower limit of the nuclear liquid releases contribution to this inventory to be 50%.

Ginger, a common spice in Indian kitchens can manage high levels of blood sugar which create complications for long-term diabetic patients, a new study has claimed.
Researchers from the University of Sydney found that ginger has the power to control blood glucose by using muscle cells.
"Ginger extracts obtained from Buderim Ginger were able to increase the uptake of glucose into muscle cells independently of insulin," Professor of pharmaceutical chemistry Basil Roufogalis who led the research said in a statement. "This assists in the management of high levels of blood sugar that create complications for long-term diabetic patients, and may allow cells to operate independently of insulin," Roufogalis said.
"The components responsible for the increase in glucose were gingerols, the major phenolic components of the ginger rhizome. Under normal conditions, blood glucose level is strictly maintained within a narrow range, and skeletal muscle is a major site of glucose clearance in the body," Roufogalis
The pharmacy researchers extracted whole ginger rhizomes obtained from Buderim Ginger and showed that that one fraction of the extract was the most effective in reproducing the increase in glucose uptake by the whole extract in muscle cells grown in culture.
The study also determined how the gingerols could increase glucose uptake and showed an increase in the surface distribution of the protein GLUT4. When the protein localises on the surface of muscle cells it allows transport of glucose into cells.
In type 2 diabetic patients, the capacity of skeletal muscle to uptake glucose is markedly reduced due to impaired insulin signal transduction and inefficiency of the GLUT4. The study was published in the journal Planta Medica. PTI


Curleyâs wife is bitter here, insulting the only men left on the ranch (Lennie, Crooks and Candy) while the others are at the brothel, by referring to them as bindle stiffs, meaning tramps. Like the puppy, Lennie ends up accidentally killing Curley's wife, sealing his ultimate fate of being killed by George. What about Curley? He can't stand people b. Which meant Curleyâs wife â¦ ANSWER: Lennie kills Curley's wife by shaking her so hard that her neck breaks -- remember, he is a big strong man. Also George and Lennie had the profit of having the ability of maintaining the farmland. Curleyâs Wife In Steinbeckâs novelette, I find Curleyâs wife to be an intriguing character, as she is the only character (and only woman in the story) given without a name. Why does Crooks let Lennie into his room? a. Of Mice and Men (CHECK!) And, indeed it suggests that Curleyâs reaction to the loss of his wife is connected only to Lennieâs embarrassment of him. Lennie responds absently with concern about his dream farm and the rabbits he will have. 3) How does Lennie's killing of the puppy parallel his killing of Curley's wife and the mice? He treats his wife like a possession. In this essay I am going to be assessing the character Curleys Wife from Steinbeckâs book Of Mice And Men.The book is set in the 1930s during the Great Depression it features two farm workers called George and Lennie. When he sees Lennie smiling at the thought of the farm and the rabbits that George has discussed, Curley sees it as Lennie laughing at him. Both he and Curleyâs wife seek comfort for their problems in each other, but it leads to an unseemly end. How is the conversation between Lennie and Curley's wife like the conversation between Lennie and Crooks? 4) How does Candy react to the death of Curley's wife? Get your answers by asking now. It also alludes to the novella's title taken from the poem "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns in which a mouse meets a tragic end. How is Georgeâs response surprising given what the reader knows about his relationship with Lennie? 5. While the death of Candy's dog is clearly meant to foreshadow Lennie's death, it could also be argued that the death of Lennie's puppy is used as foreshadowing as well. Why or why not? When Lennie realizes he killed her he tries to hide her body in the hay and runs off. George had a disbelief that the dream of owning farmland wouldnât actually come true, but when the death of Lennie occurred, there wasnât a chance of the dream to survive. "The Seafarer" and "The Wife's Lament" "The Wanderer" and "The Death of Beowulf" "The Wife's Lament" and "Grendel's Mother" "The Seafarer" and "The Wanderer" my. In Of Mice and Men, how does Lennie react to killing Curley's wife? d) How does Candy react to her death, what does he do, and why does he do this? 4) How does Candy react to the death of Curley's wife? There is an anxious atmosphere in this extract as a result of the death of Curleyâs wife and Lennieâs reaction to this. Finally, he shakes her and her neck snaps. How might Curley's wife be responsible for her death? How do Curleyâs wifeâs and Lennieâs dreams both die with the accidental death? Curley's wife, she is looking for someone to talk to. There are reasons for everything, and some murders are accidental which is a different situation. Include at least one quote in your answer. 3) How does Lennie's killing of the puppy parallel his killing of Curley's wife and the mice? Chapter 6. How does Steinbeck portray Curleyâs wife in Of Mice and Men? He doesnt understand the finality of death. She tells Lennie about her desire to be a movie star and confides in him that her dreams didn't come true so she married Curley. She is yelling because he is holding on to her hair and won't let go. Curley's wife's obsession with herself ultimately leads to her death. âGosh, she was purty.â He smiled admiringly. Lennie is upset, he does not want her around. â Lennie broke Curleyâs hand almost instantly. Join Yahoo Answers and â¦ George and Lennie were informed that Curleyâs wife had only been married for time length of 2 weeks and she was already giving âthe eyeâ to other men on the ranch. When Curleyâs wife dies, the lack of compassion Curley shows justifies her frustration in life, particularly when her innocence is shown in death. Again, showing that her life has been a mess with one disappointment after another. Chapter 5 is filled with characters whose thoughts can be described very precisely: Lennie's fear, Curley wife's musings and then her terror, George's stoic acceptance, Curley's meanness, and Candy's despondency. Lennie crushes Curley's hand with his herculean strength. Lennie whispers I done a bad thing. He does not kill her on purpose. To Steinbeck, the American Dream is starting over/finding a new life â¦ 1. Following his comment, Curley's wife chatters on, explaining more about her lost chance to become an actress and how she met Curley. The reader is manipulated to like, and dislike her at the same time. The dead mouse in Lennie's pocket acts as foreshadowing for the death of Curley's wife and Lennie's fateful ending. Answer Save. Who joins Lennie in the barn?How does Lennie react? âShe caught the dead scent of Curleyâs Wife, and the hair rose along her spine. The Struggles of Lennie and Curleyâs Wife The characters of the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck face struggles such as Lennie and Curleyâs Wife when trying to achieve the american dream. When George and Lennie first see Curleyâs wife they are afraid because of how flirty she is without her husband knowing. The next minute Curley was flopping like a fish. Lennie has the strength of 20 men and the mind of a child. Near the start of the story, she has a fairly minor role in the story, but Steinbeck slowly increases her importance till she is the cause of Lennieâs death. (Point of View) In the scene in which Lennie murders Curleyâs wife, how does the point George looked quickly down â¦ It's not a coincidence that that she ends up dying because she didn't want Lennie to mess up her hair: look, and even touch if you wantâbut don't get too comfortable. Anonymous. He likes Lennie c. He just wants company d. He hates Curley A: c Curleyâs wife poses as a threat to George and Lennie because she could get them fired. 0 0. c) How does Lennie react to her death? By the time he kills Curleyâs wife, the reader knows that Lennie loves to pet soft things and that he tends to accidentally kill the things he pets. The only time Curley and Curleyâs Wife are seen together is in the barn after Curleyâs Wife has been killed by Lennie. Bet sheâd clear out for twenty bucks.â Lennie still stared at the doorway where she had been. The death of Lennie. 1) What is the significance of the rabbit appearing at the end of the book? In a fit of anger, Lennie throws the dead puppy before covering it up, when Curley's wife enters the barn. Why do Curley and his wife pose such a threat to George and Lennie? Relevance. Georgeâs shooting of Lennie is foreshadowed throughout Of Mice and Men. She's half-afraid of Lennie, but she also wants his attention and praise. Curly on the other hand intentionally killed Lennie, although it may have been good reasoning. Explain the following quotes: a) George: ^All the time he [Lennie] done bad things but he never done one of Zem mean. âlooks to me like everâ bone in his hanâ is bustâ At the end of the book, Lennie broke Curleyâs wifeâs neck.He had â¦ âYeah, and sheâs sure hidinâ it. what Curley picks for a wife.â âSheâs purty,â said Lennie defensively. How does Steinbeck present the character of Curleys Wife? Overall, Lennieâs outstanding physical strength combined with his lack of intelligence and moral sense makes him dangerous without George monitoring him constantly. His strength overcame him, and his nervous reaction is what killed the girl. Still have questions

The blood of beheaded French King Louis XVI has been found by scientists in an old gourd. Louis XVI was beheaded by a guillotine by French revolutionaries in 1793.
Scientists found a small piece of fabric placed inside of a hollow gourd, which left blood stains. The squash was decorated with words that say, "On January 21, Maximilien Bourdaloue dipped his handkerchief in the blood of Louis XVI after his decapitation"and belonged to a family in Italy.The scientists said the DNA is very similar to genetic material from what is believed to be the mummified head of an earlier French king, AFP reports.
The gourd has been in the hands of an Italian family for a century.
The monarch was killed by guillotine by French revolutionaries more than 200 years ago, on 21 January 1793.The BBC reported that after Louis XVI's beheading, spectators were believed to have dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood.
For years, researchers have been trying to establish whether a genuine memento of this momentous execution in the Place de la Revolution survives today. A new DNA analysis has solved a mystery that has lasted for almost 220 years, finding that an ornate gourd almost certainly carries the bloodstains of the fallen king.
On Jan 21 1793, a Parisian called Maximilien Bourdaloue witnessed Louis's public decapitation as the postrevolutionary "Terreur" took hold. Afterwards, he joined many others in dipping a handkerchief in the pool of blood left at the foot of the guillotine.
Bourdaloue then secreted this garment inside a calabash, now in the possession of an Italian family. The rag itself has long since decomposed, but the container still carries crimson stains and an inscription recording how the souvenir was collected after the king's "decapitation".
A new study in the current issue of "Forensic Science International" has filled in the missing link. The breakthrough came when scientists took a DNA sample from the mummified head of one of Louis's most illustrious ancestors: King Henri IV, who ruled France from 1589 until 1610.
This analysis established that Henri possessed a rare partial "Y" chromosome. Louis was one of his direct male-line descendants, separated by seven generations. The stains on the calabash also contained the "Y" chromosome, along with other matches, leading experts to conclude that the container almost certainly holds the blood of the executed king.
The Execution of King Louis XVI of France
On January 20, 1793, the National Convention condemned Louis XVI to death, his execution scheduled for the next day. Louis spent that evening saying goodbye to his wife and children. The following day dawned cold and wet. Louis arose at five. At eight o'clock a guard of 1,200 horsemen arrived to escort the former king on a two-hour carriage ride to his place of execution. Accompanying Louis, at his invitation, was a priest, Henry Essex Edgeworth, an Englishman living in France.

Background: Surgery with and without hypervolaemia may cause shedding (breakdown) of the endothelial glycocalyx layer, but the severity of this problem is unclear. Methods: In this preliminary report of a larger clinical trial, the plasma and urine concentrations of three biomarkers of glycocalyx shedding (syndecan-1, hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate) were measured in seven patients before, during, and after open hysterectomy. The fluid therapy consisted of 25ml/kg (approximately 2l) of Ringer's lactate, which was infused over 30min when the surgery started. The resulting plasma volume expansion at the end of the infusion was estimated from the haemodilution. Results: The mean plasma concentration of syndecan-1 was 21.7ng/ml before surgery and averaged 19.7ng/ml during and after the surgery. The plasma concentration of hyaluronic acid decreased from 38.0 to 27.7ng/ml (P<0.05), while heparan sulfate increased from 3.4 to 5.5μg/ml (P<0.05). The urine concentrations of syndecan-1 decreased significantly, while they increased for hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate. Despite the vigorous fluid load, the urine flow did not exceed 1ml/min. Conclusions: No clear evidence was found for shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx layer when 2l of Ringer's lactate was infused over 30min during abdominal hysterectomy. Urine analyses yielded patterns of changes that differed from those in plasma. Trial registration:ISRCTN81005631. Registered May 17, 2016.

MICA SCHIST.Mica schist is a common metamorphic rock that is produced by regional metamorphism. The shiny look of schist is one of its key characteristics. The schist also has a nicely developed foliation. The word foliation comes from the Latin "folia" meaning leaves
MARBLE is metamorphosed limestone. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is mainly composed of calcite, derived from the shells of living organisms like clams and snails. Marble can be produced by contact or regional metamorphism. Marble does not develop foliation like schist, because the calcite crystals are all about the same size. There is no way for them to line up. Marbles often contain other minerals, such as quartz, mica, and hematite.

Mining Production Declines
- In 2000, the value of New Brunswick mining production declined 6.8% to $791 million. Although zinc and copper prices were higher, the value of production for the metals sector showed a decline (-12.2%) with the closure of the Heath Steele mine. Production at the Brunswick base metals mine was slightly higher at 9,500 tonnes per day. The mine has about eight years of reserves at the present rate of extraction. Metals account for 66% of the total value of production.
- The value of production in the non-metals sector was up 9.6%. The sector includes peat (+15.9%), potash and salt. Annual capacity at the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan mine near Sussex includes 785,000 tonnes of potash ore and 650,500 tonnes of rock salt. Non-metals represent 26% of total production. Structural materials and coal contribute the remainder.
- The mining, quarrying and oil wells industry represents over 2% of provincial GDP.
- Exploration expenditures in northern New Brunswick were $8.2 million in 2000, up from $7 million last year, and focused on iron, zinc, lead and copper. In southern New Brunswick the focus was on other minerals including platinum-palladium, nickel-cobalt-copper, gold, antimony and base metal sulphide.
- In 2000, a significant gas discovery was made northeast of Sussex and the extent of the reserves will be determined with additional drilling. Another development in the Moncton area involves testing wells for the commercial production of crude oil.
- In order to address the challenges confronting New Brunswick's mining industry, a study containing 27 recommendations for revitalizing the industry was released.

i believe that TV and books are equal.
books need light to read but TV includes light,there can be sound and you can sometimes pause it. my uncle, Des, is sadly blind so he listens to the TV because he cant read books. A reason about books is you can visualise the word and it helps you learn.
another reason for TV is easier than reading a book because you have to learn to read and it takes time to develop reading but with TV there are 3 easy steps: 1.sit 2.turn on 3. watch.
That also means reading a book is like a reward for learning.
That's why i am unsure if books are better than TV.
