I've been looking into the methods used by the DNSchanger virus for part of a project, but something about its method bothers me.
DHCP is a dumb protocol. A station sends out a DHCP request on the network, and then accepts the first response it gets. DNSchanger responds first with a valid IP subnet and gateway, but with a set of alternative DNS servers that can forward to station onto incorrect URLs using preset DNS records, putting virtually any network an infected machine connects to at risk.
But unless a target station and an infected station are connected more directly then they are to the real DHCP server, such as through the same piece of network hardware, with the main DHCP server quite 'far' away in the chain, how does DNSchanger ensure that it beats the real DHCP server to the punch with its response?
The only reason that I'm thinking of this is due to wireless access points; if an infected machine connects to a wireless access point, how does it infect other machines? I would've thought that it would've had difficulty responding to the DHCP request before the gateway, seeing as it's likely that the gateway is the same hardware that's broadcasting the wireless network.
Any help with this one would be appreciated! Thanks!

- New medical imager captures unprecedented 3D images of the human body.
- It's 40 times faster than PET scans, and can use 40 times less radiation.
- EXPLORER scanner makes PET and CT scans look old-fashioned.
What do you get if you combine the technologies on which the two most successful medical imaging devices — positron emission tomography (PET) and x-ray computed tomography (CT) — are based? You get EXPLORER, the stunning new scanner that can capture an amazingly detailed 3D image of the entire human body in 20–30 seconds.
EXPLORER's super-fast capture rate — it can scan a body region in about a second — also allows it to take movies of specially-tagged medications and radiotracers as they make their way through a body.
The development of EXPLORER
EXPLORER was developed at the UC Davis Department of Biomedical Engineering by biomedical engineers Simon Cherry and Ramsey Badawi in partnership with Shanghai-based United Imaging Healthcare (UIH). UIH plans eventually to manufacture and sell the devices worldwide.
Badawi and Cherry first conceived of something like EXPLORER some 13 years ago. In 2011, a $1.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute allowed them to pull together a consortium of collaborators to work on the idea. The first working EXPLORER was made possible by a $15.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health in 2015.
The first images Badawi got his eyes on were captured by UIH and the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the Zhongshan Hospital in Shanghai, and they were eye-popping. As he told UC Davis Health:
The level of detail was astonishing, especially once we got the reconstruction method a bit more optimized. We could see features that you just don't see on regular PET scans... And the dynamic sequence showing the radiotracer moving around the body in three dimensions over time was, frankly, mind-blowing. There is no other device that can obtain data like this in humans, so this is truly novel.
Benefits of EXPLORER
EXPLORER is 40 times as fast as a PET scanner, making it more feasible to do repeated studies on an individual, and, of course, there are the movies that can provide an unprecedented look at the in-body progress of radiotraceable agents. EXPLORER'S also 40 times more sensitive than PET scanners, so it will cause patients to be exposed to far less radiation during diagnosis than traditional PET or CT scans.
"The tradeoff between image quality, acquisition time and injected radiation dose will vary for different applications," Cherry told UC Davis Health. "But in all cases, we can scan better, faster or with less radiation dose, or some combination of these."
Doctors will also be able to see, for the first time, what's happening simultaneously in multiple areas of the body, helping them measure dynamic processes such as bloodflow or glucose takeup. The uses for EXPLORER's breakthrough technology seem endless.
The goal right now is to get the first working system up and running at the EXPLORER Imaging Center in Sacramento by June 2019. At that time, the scientists hope to begin using EXPLORER for research projects and for diagnosing patients. Meanwhile, at Zhongshan Hospital, investigation of EXPLORER's potential continues.


H5P Guides
Drag the Words Tutorial
Drag the Words question type allowing creatives to create text-based challenges where users are to drag words into blanks in sentences. Excellent for language training among other things.
In this tutorial you will learn:
 - When to use Drag the Words
 - How to create a Drag the Words
Not using H5P yet?
Here's the Drag the Words we'll create in this tutorial:
When to use Drag the Words
Drag the Words allows content designers to create textual expressions with missing pieces of text. The end-user drags a missing piece of text to its correct place, to form a complete expression.
May be used to check if the user remembers a text she has read, or if she understands something. Helps the user think through a text.
Step 1: Topic
Let's say you want to ask a question:
What are the colors of these berries when they are ripe?
Blueberries are _______________
Strawberries are _______________
Cloudberries are _______________
And suggest colors: blue, red and orange.
Step 2: Create Drag the Words
Select the New content option and choose Drag the Words from the list of Content types:
Step 3: Drag the Words editor
The Drag the words editor should now appear. The top part of the editor looks like this:
Step 4: Title and Task description
The Task description should give the learner a short introduction or some instructions. A default Introduction text, which works fine in most cases, is suggested: "Drag the words into the correct boxes". However, you may modify it. In this example, we will type in the text: "What are the colors of these berries when they are ripe?"
Step 5: Add an exercise
The Text field is where you will type your exercise. Type in the following text:
Blueberries are *blue*.
Strawberries are *red*.
Cloudberries are *orange*.
Add (*) character in front and behind all the words/phrases that you want to display as droppables. For the learner, the word/phrase between (*) characters will appear as a blank inside the text and as a droppable item next to the text. Like shown here:
Step 6: Adding tips
Optionally, you can provide a tip for each word/phrase to help the learner find the correct answer or to provide some additional information about the word/phrase. Let's add some tip for the word "blue". A tip is defined by adding :tip_text next to the word.
So type in :Check the name of the berry! next to the word blue, as shown here:
For the learner, the tip will appear like shown here:
Step 7: Adding feedback
Optionally, you can add correct feedback and incorrect feedback for each word/phrase. This feedback will show below the exercise once the student click "Check".
Feedback is defined by typing \+correct_feedback and \-incorrect_feedback next to the word.
Step 8: Instructions
If you need a reminder of how tips and feedback are defined you can click on "Show information" button, which is placed next to the Text label:
The box with instructions will appear:
Step 9: Finishing up
Press Save when you are done!
You should now have the same result as this example

Attention to mixed methods studies research has increased in recent years, particularly among funding agencies that increasingly require a mixed methods approach for program evaluation. At the same time, researchers operating within large-scale, rapid-turnaround research projects are faced with the reality that collection and analysis of large amounts of qualitative data typically require an intense amount of project resources and time. However, practical examples of efficiently collecting and handling high-quality qualitative data within these studies are limited. More examples are also needed of procedures for integrating the qualitative and quantitative strands of a study from design to interpretation in ways that can facilitate efficiencies. This paper provides a detailed description of the strategies used to collect and analyze qualitative data in what the research team believed to be an efficient, high-quality way within a team-based mixed methods evaluation study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) high-school education. The research team employed an iterative approach to qualitative data analysis that combined matrix analyses with Microsoft Excel and the qualitative data analysis software program ATLAS.ti. This approach yielded a number of practical benefits. Selected preliminary results illustrate how this approach can simplify analysis and facilitate data integration.

DEK Electroform Variable Aperture Height Technology (VAHT)
Variable aperture height allows localized paste volume control
PCBs that incorporate both miniaturized and large components can often be difficult to print in one stroke due to the different paste volume requirements. DEK Electroform variable aperture height technology (VAHT) solves this issue with aperture-specific gasket overgrowths that create more height for larger paste volume deposits. Around defined apertures, gasket height can be 1 to 2 mils higher than the base stencil thickness.
- Optimum solution for challenging heterogeneous assemblies
- Greater throughput due to one-pass printing capability

A Putnam County teacher is crediting the Newspapers in Education program for improved test scores.
In fact, a marquee at Poca Middle School expresses thanks to Charleston Newspapers.
Louann Godbey, eighth-grade West Virginia History teacher at Poca Middle, credits the NIE program for playing a role in a six-point increase in WESTEST scores from 2011 to 2012.
"I truly believe that our weekly newspaper sessions played a big part in helping my students achieve higher test scores," she said.
Each Wednesday, her students are given about 45 minutes to read the newspaper. Half of the time is to be spent reading section-front news articles.
Then they may move on to sports, cartoons or anything they enjoy reading.
"If I give assignments, I find they are reading for answers instead of content," she said. "I want them to enjoy the experience of reading the paper."
Newspapers are an excellent source for teaching West Virginia history and current events, she said.
Students look forward to the arrival of the newspapers, and she shares them with the seventh-grade teacher.
She added that Poca Middle has an excellent staff, achieved adequate yearly progress, and was named an exemplary school.
Renee Daly, NIE coordinator for Charleston Newspapers, said she often gets positive feedback from teachers who take advantage of the program, and others climb on board after learning about it.
"I got two new schools today," said Daly, who added that 34 schools throughout West Virginia are now getting newspapers through the program that was established 17 years ago.

Unwinding the Cucumber Tendril Mystery
How a cucumber creates its curling tendril has puzzled scientists for centuries. Even Charles Darwin and Asa Gray were stumped. Now, with the help of time-lapse photography and prosthetic tendril fabricated in the lab, physicist Sharon Gerbode, biologist Joshua Puzey, and colleagues have figured out why tendrils twist, according to a new study in Science.

Navigation products for all vessels
Ice radar FICE-100
Find the best route through ice! Observe ice conditions by radar.
Winter conditions are difficult and they raise the cost of shipping. Environmental awareness has increased, and risk avoidance and minimization is becoming increasingly important. All of these things have led to the need to navigate safely when driving on ice, to reduce fuel consumption and to look for more places to pass-through ice alone in terms of time saving.
FICE-100 ice radar is suitable for all sizes of vessels driving in icy conditions. Ice radar's software has been developed in Finland Furuno's R&D department in co-operation with our customers.
FICE-100 ice radar is a hybrid ice radar, which is connected to Furuno FAR-2xx7/FAR-2xx8 ARPA navigation radar without affecting any of its properties or performance. Ice radar's principle of operation is the opposite of the navigation radar, so it is not suitable to the actual navigation. It requires its own processor and device in order to be efficient, due it's different calculation algorithms.
The software runs on the Linux operating system and its operation is reliable. Trackball control unit can be used as the drive unit.
Increase safety
Iceradar FICE-100 is refined radar technology specifically suited for ice navigation. The ice radar is useful for ships of all sizes operating in icy conditions. The device is connected to the vessel's navigation radar and the device utilizes the navigation radar signals and calculates the radar algorithms for the water / ice interface.
- The ice radar visualizes ice structures
- Discovers the optimum route to go through ice
- Shows the track in bad visibility
- Usable ice detection up to 6 NM
- Ice radar stabilizes the ice picture compared to the navigation radar using advanced algorithms
- Ice radar is a supplementary system for navigation radar to observe ice conditions using the same outdoor equipment.
Hybrid ice radar
Hybrid ice radar captures the raw radar signal from the navigation radar. In this principle navigation radar remains IMO approved without affecting any navigation radar's operation. The high performance ice radar picture is created in a separated processor and shown in its own display. Products have been tested accoding to IEC60945(2002). The FICE-100 removes the image noise making the fine structures of the ice more visible. The result is a stable image that includes the fine details found in the radar echoes.
Find the best route through ice
By using ice radar vessels can find the old rifts, clean ice and channels made by icebreakers and other vessels. Finding and using these, the vessel consumes much less power and saves fuel and time.
FICE-100 features for navigation in icy conditions
FICE-100 has many helpful features for mariners to see situational ice picture:
- 3D and Edge effects
- Equalizer
- Color palette
The conditions are different and changes all the time. These features are easy to select, adjust and operate in challenging environment to give more clear and visible picture to the user. The following screenshots are examples of real conditions.
3D effect emphasizes shapes and shadows:
Fire 3d
Edge effect emphasizes edges of rifts:
Fire Edge
Equalize feature visualizes ice radar picture with adjusted brightness ratio both on center and near edge of display:
Equalize 60
User can select predefined color palettes for ice layer. Each of them can be customized by user. Different color palettes are useful in changing environmental lightings:
Target presentation:
 - symbol and data
 - AIS targets received from AIS transponder
 - ARPA targets received from navigation radar

10 Times Packaging Went Overboard
Whether it's a tiny item in a big box or an insane amount of Bubble Wrap, some retailers take packaging too far.
If you do as much online shopping as we do, you've probably run into over-packaging before. You ordered something small, and it arrived at your house in a box large enough to store your entire wardrobe (with the Bubble Wrap to match). Or you ordered 10 things, and they all came in individual boxes.
Over-packaging isn't just frustrating; it's creating a big problem. Packaging materials make up more than 40% of the solid waste stream in the United States, according to Packaging Digest. Most of that ends up in a landfill.
We all know the drill: reduce, reuse, recycle. But why aren't our favorite online retailers on board? We found 10 examples of ridiculous packaging that prove it's time for retailers to rethink how products are shipped.
memory card packaging
The Nesting SD Card
It started out as an SD card. Then it got shoved into a plastic protective case. Then the plastic protective case got its own plastic clamshell cover. Finally, it shipped to the consumer in a massive box, complete with a seemingly endless roll of wrapping paper. Maybe nesting SD cards are the new collectors' items?
toy set packaging
Maybe Amazon Thought It Was a Real Car?
Our second example appears to be a child's small toy car set. These sets are typically lightweight and come in very small boxes, but the toy was shipped in a box large enough to fit a small car.
Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration. Nevertheless, the box and packing materials are a little much.
packaging for phone
Or Maybe It's Nesting Boxes?
In our next example, we can place the blame squarely on the retailer. This Flickr user ordered a new smartphone. You know, those fancy, streamlined, thin-as-a-piece-of-paper things you can fit in your pocket? The phone was packaged neatly into a tiny box, which was put into a slightly larger box, which was then put into a huge box.
box with SD card
The SD Cards Are Back
Maybe the real lesson here is to never order an SD card online unless you need a huge box for moving. Here's another example of a small, lightweight SD card being shipped in a box that's big enough to almost cover an entire desk.
packaging for ruler
How Many Air Bags Does It Take to Keep a Ruler Safe?
We count 20. A customer ordered a single ruler off of Amazon. The ruler does fit lengthwise in the bottom of the box, and technically the 20 pieces of protective packaging fit, too. We're just not sure they were necessary.
packaging for paring knives
Don't Play With Knives, Kids
Knives should probably be packaged pretty securely — even if they're plastic — but this might be too much. Each paring knife was wrapped in protective cardboard and placed in its own box. Then the three boxes were placed in another even larger box and wrapped with air cushions. Overkill? We think so.
packaging for maple syrup
Sometimes It Isn't the Size of the Box
One of our biggest gripes? Not just getting too large a box, but getting too many shipments. This plastic container of maple syrup was shipped separately from the rest of the order. With plenty of space in that huge box, it looks like the items could have been shipped together.
packaging for socket organizers
Organizing Your Organizers
Maybe Sears knew this customer was pro-organization? The person did buy socket organizers, after all. Perhaps the company was just trying to show off its skills to a fellow enthusiast by packing each organizer neatly in its own box?
box with inflatable packaging
A Tranquil Sea of Bubbles
We're not sure what's going on here. The item is clearly unprotected on one side, but oh-so-protected on the other. In fact, there is so much inflatable packaging perfectly in place, it's almost peaceful to look at. If only all that plastic wasn't going to waste.
packaging for padded envelopes
Padding for Your Padding
How do you ship padded envelopes? With even more padding, of course! This customer's set of padded mailers were placed in a box, wrapped with inflatable packaging, and then placed in another box. If only a padded envelope had a way of protecting itself.
Readers, what examples of ridiculous packaging do you have to share? Let us know in the comments below!

In the past year, I have had the opposite problem with Amazon's shipments of paperback books. They have been under-protected and as such, I have had to return most, if not all, of them.
I have the name of a merchant who is the perfect example of all of the above. Jet.com, I love you, but your packaging skills need work.
I buy a lot from Ebay when i'm not in a hurry and Ebay sellers know the bigger a package the less profit. SD cards come in envelopes, boxes are filled with product not air.
like the person below me I used to think Prime was the answer. However, I'm starting to see a lot of items change to "add on items" this is a marketing strategy to get consumers to spend more to get stuff to ship. Prime members are not excluded from having to pay $25 or more for it to ship.
I once had to get something for amazon but was just less than a dollar under the free shipping threshold. I searched for something as a filler, I found an item that was perfect. It was some product manual. I expected it to be shipped together. But amazon shipped it separate (why then enforce, with the paper manual in its own box, not an envelope. I kept that box unopened for a long time to be reminded of the waste that comes along with online shopping. Later I got Prime and don't need to worry about fillers.

Ancient Skeleton Discovered in Sri Lankan Cave
A complete human skeleton has been excavated from a cave in western Sri Lanka.
Discovered in the Fa Hien Cave in the district of Kalutara, Western Province, Sri Lanka, the skeleton, thought to be a Homo sapien, could be the oldest found in South Asia so far.
Items found in the same layer as the skeleton have been dated back 37,000 years, suggesting that the skeleton is likely around the same age. To find out for sure, officials plan to get it carbon-dated.
Stone tools were found with the skeleton, as well as ornaments made of beads and weapons made of animal bone. These discoveries are helping to build a picture of the eating habits and rituals of these ancient people.
Although human remains were found at the cave in the 1960′s and 1980′s, this find, made a few days ago, represents the first complete pre-historic human skeleton discovered in Sri Lanka.


text:
Whereas is usually used for comparing the features of two different things, when there is an important difference between them.
Whereas can be used when comparing anything: people, objects, places, actions etc.
You can use it in a sentence in two ways:
As a conjunction, to join two sentences together when there are 2 different subjects:
- I like beer whereas she likes wine.
- I'm good at snowboarding whereas she's good at skiing.
As a conjunction, at the start of a sentence where you are comparing 2 different things:
- Whereas I like blue, she likes green.
- Whereas smaller shops often have more expensive products, larger supermarkets can often put their prices down.
Whereas used in a legal context
Whereas can also be used for legal purposes, in the preamble (introduction) of a legal text, usually a contract.
This is called a 'whereas clause', and 'whereas' is used as an introductory word – it isn't used to compare things. Instead, it means "considering that" or "given the fact that".
The 'whereas clause' isn't a legal part of the contract's operative provisions – it simply 'paints the picture' or 'sets the stage', it gives an introduction to the situation.
Examples of whereas used in a legal context:
- Whereas party 1 has made allegations against party 2 that party 2 recklessly, negligently and/or fraudulently misrepresented and omitted material facts.
- Whereas party 1 is a dissolved corporation with a formal principal place of business in London.
Whereas synonyms (non-legal sense)
Since whereas is used as a conjunction, joining two ideas together in one sentence, it can often be replaced with other conjunctions.
Whereas Vs. While Vs. But Vs. And
While (when while is not used to signal time)
'While' is used in the same way as 'whereas' in a sentence, but only when 'while' is not used to mean "during the time that something else happens".
That means that you can replace 'whereas' with 'while' when it is used as a conjunction, but only when it is used at the start of a sentence:
- While I work in accounting, she works in the sales department.
- While I prefer going to the beach, I know a lot of people would rather spend their holidays in colder places.
But is also used to connect clauses or sentences, however, unlike 'and', it is used to signal a difference between two different ideas.
The main difference between 'but' and 'whereas', is that 'but' is used to signal a difference (or negative aspect), whereas 'whereas' is used to compare two things that are different. They can be interchanged in certain situations, for example:
- I like pasta but / whereas she likes pizza.
However, in other examples, but is used to present either the opposite of the original idea, or something negative about the original idea:
- I like that restaurant but it's a bit expensive.
- She looked tired but happy.
In these examples, when there is only one subject in the sentence, but can't be replaced with whereas.
'And' is used to connect words, clauses or sentences that should be considered together.
You can replace 'whereas' with 'and' when it is used in the middle of a sentence to compare two ideas that oppose one another (are different / contracting), and the meaning of the sentence won't change much.
However, using 'and' instead of 'whereas' means the ideas are simply being stated, rather than compared.
- I like chicken and she likes fish.
- I'm really good at running and he's really good at swimming.


How to get a double quote in a text string
From: Mary Haley (haley AT XXXXXX)
Date: Tue Feb 18 2003 - 15:55:07 MST
 - Next message: David Reusch: "Header lines in ascii input files"
 FYI for NCL users:
 A user personally asked me about how to include a double quote as part
 of a text string in NCL, and I thought I'd share the answer I
 received from Dave Brown.
 Use the "integertochar" function:
 to first convert the character that represents a double quote to its
 integer representation. Then, use this new representation as part of a
 string you want to plot, just by concatenating it in the appropriate
 For example, try the following script:
 wks = gsn_open_wks("x11","test")
 dblquote = integertochar(34) ; decimal 34 is a double quote in the
 ; standard ASCII table
 title = dblquote + "This is a title with double quotes" + dblquote
 txres = True
 txres@txFontHeightF = 0.03

Source:Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal, Volume 12, Number 1, p.37–52 (2015)
In this paper we explore the defect evaluation in austenitic stainless steel (SS) using Lock-in technique and the effect of modulation frequency on defect detectability. A review of international literature indicates that while such studies have been attempted on materials like Perspex and composites, studies on austenitic SS like AISI 316, which are widely used in nuclear and other process industries, have been limited. For depth quantification, blind frequency method and phase contrast method have been discussed. The one dimensional analytical modeling proposed by Bennett and Patty has been adopted in blind frequency method. The investigation on the effect of defect size and shape on blind frequency and phase contrast has been carried out. The phase contrast method for depth quantification was found to be appropriate.

symbolized by a red ball) is highlighted. Then add a new material. You do this by clicking the Add New button in the Links and Pipeline Panel. Once you've done that, set the settings similar to the picture below. Now press F6, then add a new texture to the material. Choose a stucci texture, set the noise size to 0.15. Now switch back to the materials-window (F5) and click on the "map to" tab. Deselect the "col" button and select the "nor" button. This will render the texture as a bump-map on the volcano. Set the "nor slider" to 0.5, which should be the default. Switch to the "map input" tab and choose "tube".

If you now render you should get something like this:
Blender volcano stucci.jpg
This looks really smooth, like clay pottery. To get a more rough-looking volcano, try out these options:
 - Option 1: Subdivide and increase the fractal.
 - Option 2: Decrease the texture's basis size (in the "Stucci" panel when you select the "Texture" button).
 - Option 3: Proportional edit tool.
 1. Press O to turn on Proportional Editing mode. Select Random fallout.
 2. G rab the center vertice, and raise it along the Z axis.
Older versions:
Go into Edit mode, select all Vertices, and use the fractal (set from 15 to 30) to really get things looking rocky and mountainous. TAB (Edit mode) → F9AKEY to select all → Mesh Tools → Fractal → 15 - 30 (15-low, 30-high) → OK → TAB (Object mode) In Blender 2.5 you can use the random proportional edit tool: use NUM7 to switch into top view, grab the central vertice of your volcano using a large-radius random proportional edit, and pul it slightly into Z-direction.
(A note: Seems there is no need in subsurf at all since fractal tool will dramaticly increase vertices quantity.)


carmagnole, originally, a Piedmontese peasant costume (from the Italian town of Carmagnola) that was well known in the south of France and brought to Paris by the revolutionaries of Marseille in 1792.
The costume, later the popular dress of the Jacobins, consisted of a short-skirted coat with rows of metal buttons, a tricoloured waistcoat, and red cap. The name carmagnole was also applied to a famous Revolutionary song and dance widely performed during the Reign of Terror.

A new Chinese study has found that calcium protects against cancer of the colon and rectum (colorectal). The Shanghai Women's Health Study, from 1997 through 2000, enrolled 73,314 Chinese women aged 40 to 70, average age 55.5, who were living in urban Shanghai. Researchers followed up for an average of 5.7 years and, excluding the first two years of follow up, found that those with the highest amounts of calcium in the diet were 40% less likely to develop colorectal cancer than were those with the lowest dietary calcium. By the end of the follow up period, there were 129 reported cases of colon cancer and 91 reported cases of rectal cancer.
The study is significant because of the large number of participants and because the Chinese diet typically includes less calcium than does the Western diet. Previous large U.S. studies: the 1991 Women's Health Initiative with 161,808 women, the 1976 Nurse's Health Study I with 122,000 women, and the 1989 Nurse's Health Study II with 125,000 women, did not report any link between calcium and colorectal cancer.
As in those studies, doctors in the Shanghai survey asked participants to fill out a food frequency questionnaire covering 77 foods representing 90% of the typical diet. Researchers also calculated the amounts in the diet of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E, as well as carotene and fiber, and found no link to risk for colorectal cancer. The scientists concluded that calcium appears to protect against colorectal cancer even at the relatively low levels in the Chinese diet compared to the Western diet. Colorectal cancer is one of the most curable cancer types, and doctors can diagnose the disease easily and early using a colonoscopy exam.

The Gateways of Wisdom
Gradually, Karl and I work out that our healing process involves holding a question or problem in our hearts and minds and journeying with it through the four Gateways and into the realms of Acceptance, Gratitude, Forgiveness, and Engagement to open up opportunities for healing and reconciliation. Each domain has its own Gateway of Wisdom.
As we approach a Gateway, we may read (or hear) an encouraging message that relates to our specific inquiry. Or we may listen to a more generic message, designed to open us up to its wisdom. For example, approaching Gratitude, we might hear something like this: "Allow your heart to soften as you contemplate the gifts you received from your loved one." Read more

Kakita Isako was a renowned bladesmith of the Crane Clan. Alongside with Asahina Yuri, a crafter of nemuranai, the two woman sought the unique weapon known as Dragon's Claw Katana, which was in the hands of Daidoji Kedamono's descendant. After several months of careful observation, they fashioned eight copies of the original sword, two for each of the families of the Crane. They took three years to complete the weapons, and the toll was so grat that both were found unconscious the morning after their work was finished. The "patronesses of the blade" had aged 50 years overnight. Those whose actions would dishonor the Crane caused the weapons to bend and warp into useless pieces of metal. [1]

Over the years Citizen have changed their watch case back markings, whilst they have also used special backs on their high grade watches and certain specific models. This page attempts to show the basic types and how to interpret the information that case backs give – often crucial to determining the authenticity of the watch. I'll cover special case backs on a separate page.
After the very early models using the 'F' type movement, Citizen began to develop a wider model range and towards the end of the 1940s and particularly in the 1950s a number of models were in production. Each of these used various case designs, with different case materials, and the case back markings began to reflect this. I have identified three core formats, and I'll show these in the following sections, along with some of the variants that can be found – one of the joys of this for the collector is the variety of case backs that occur as result.
The late 1950s also saw the introduction of serial numbers, which are very useful to us of course, because we can determine the date of production. More on that later.
Before covering the three basic designs, a word about the very early models. Little information is stamped on the back – typically it may relate only to the case back material:
I'll provide more information on the early case backs in a 'Featured Watch' post on the Type F.
Acknowledgement – in order to get a uniform type of image and size, I have primarily used the Japanese Domestic Watch volumes as a source, I wish to give due acknowledgement and credit here.
Early Case Backs:
This section relates to watches made from around 1950 to the early 1960s. During that period Citizen's watch production accelerated enormously, particularly with the success in the domestic Japanese market of the 'Deluxe' hand winder. An ever wider range of hand winding watches was produced, and in 1958 Citizen launched their first automatic, soon followed by the 'Jet' rotored automatics of the early 1960s. Not all watches had a serial number at this time, although sometimes they may be found stamped inside the case back.
Typically the early watches use snap / press on case backs, and case type markings therefore make their appearance on the 'transitional' and later formats.
And not all case backs carried all the markings – some were minimally stamped and very simple whilst some were decorated, often with scrolled engraved lines. After looking at a fully marked example, I'll show some of the variations. Here's an example from 1963, which carries all the information to be found at that time except water resistance – see the labels for their meaning:
1) 'STAR' – as far as I know this the mark of Citizen's own case factory. It is found on watches from the 1940s through to the late 1960s.
2) 'CGP' – this is the Case Material Code – often this is an abbreviation, and is usually self-explanatory as in this example (Citizen Gold Plate). Some gold plated and especially gold filled watches specified the thickness of the gold, in microns. Gold filled watches were also marked to show the quality of the gold used, e.g '14K'
3) 'Stainless Back' – the case back material is often stamped, particularly when the case is of a different material.
4) General & Specific Model Names – in this example the general model range is Homer, which is gleaned from the movement name. This watch has a day window only, and is therefore known as a Homer 'Weekly'. Other models also use the Homer movement, so will carry their own model name, e.g. 'Newmaster'. Model names on the case back are more common in the early models than later pieces.
5) Model 'Number' – this early type of model designation which included letters and numbers (straightforward in this example) was changed in the late 1960s to a two part numerical format, i.e. 12-3456
6) Serial Number – by 1963 the use of this type of serial number was well established – see later on in the page for information on serial numbers and production dates.
7) This example has no indication of water resistance – watches were increasingly marked 'Parawater' after 1958 when Citizen designed water proof cases for the first time. 'Parawater' continued until the early 1970s when it was replaced by 'Water Resistant'.
Variants on this format often have less information than the above illustration. First are two Center Second models from the 1950s, one with an early 'Everbright' back – this may be an alloy back rather than stainless steel – and one showing a 40 micron 14K gold filled case, with number only model designation (NB: center second models used that name on the dial, but other models like the Master and Junior also had center second case backs like these):
Here's an Ace Date with serial number, and a fully marked Alarm Date with decorative scrollingnote that this one also shows water resistance – 'Parawater':
This earlier alarm (left) has a 'cricket' type back (double skin with holes to help project the sound) whilst the first automatic from 1958 uses 'water protected' rather than 'Parawater'. This has a screw on type back indicated by the indentations to locate a removal tool:
Transitional Case Backs:
I've called the next format 'transitional' because they use the layout of the later case backs whilst retaining the earlier model designations. More and more watches were using screw on backs and less were using the snap on type more typical of the early model ranges. Case design was also developing and other case types were emerging. Here is an example of a fully marked 'transitional' screw on back:
1) The back now has a circular outer 'track', with markings stamped around it and other information in the centre
2) The Model Number, or designation, is in the same style as the early format, usually a mix of letter and numbers
Here are some permutations – the Autodater 7 appears to be etched rather than stamped, and (unusually) has no serial number, whilst on the Crystal 7 the model symbol fills the centre:
These original illustrations are from a 1960s technical manual – the first shows the case type as 'GN' with different layouts:
And here are the same with 'OR' designations – the same type of cases, so 'OR' means the same as 'GN' as far as I know but is less commonly seen:
Note also that two case backs (see the two on the right in the above image) are marked with an encircled 'x'. This means these cases are one piece that have to be opened through the glass, as on this Seven:
Later Case Backs:
The end of the 1960s saw the introduction of case numbers, distinct from the earlier combined model designation. Case numbers always start with the number '4', followed by a dash and six other numbers i.e 4-123456. With the new case number system, a new model number format was also instigated: 12-3456.
The case number is often more useful than the model number, since it usually includes a reference to the movement in the watch. So for example, case number 4-520343 tells us that a movement from the '52' family is used.
Model names are not often seen on the back, but some now indicate the movement to be found inside – this is very helpful of course!
Here's a typical example of a fully marked back:
1) I have not been able to determine the system, if any, for model numbers – they generally do not help to identify the movement used.
2) In the above example you can see how the case number relates very clearly to the movement (7200)
3) 'STAR' has now been dropped, and the manufacturer's name is more prominent. Later watches have 'Citizen Watch Co' rather than just 'Citizen'
As ever, there are variations on this theme – some models, I think only in the Seven Star range, have a 'horseshoe' track rather than a full circle, and some backs have no model information – the X8 Cosmotron on the right is marked 'transistorized' reflecting the application of new technology, but is not marked 'parawater' or 'water resistant':
Some backs are simpler, with no outer 'track' – the Cosmotron on the right below also has a different type of case / model combined number which uses the full movement designation as its first part; it's also now marked 'water resistant' and 'electronic' rather than transistorized':
The Seven Star on the left below has the case number in the outer track, echoing the 'transitional' format, and on the right a black coated Custom V2 also has a coated back (others had stainless steel backs):
Serial Numbers and Production Dates:
Dating a vintage Citizen watch is relatively straightforward when it has a serial number on the case back. The key is knowing which decade the watch was produced in, and the Movement Table is useful for determining that.
The first three numbers in the serial are used for the date – the first number is the year. So, using the Seven Star pictured above left as an example, with a serial number of 90203597, the first number of the serial is '9' indicates the year. But which decade is it from?
The 'Parawater' designation means that the watch was not produced later than about 1973. The case number – 4-520068 – is in the later format


Let us introduce our postural screening programme to you. This is a new service offered by Marbles Movement and Learning to make children and adults with postural problems aware of the issues present, and to provide advice and guideance regarding the available treatment options.
Why should we arrange a screening?
According to statistics between the age of 6-8 approximately 1 in a 1000 children is affected by mild scoliosis. This increases to 3 in a 1000 in the age group 9-11 and 1,2 in a hundred between the age of 12-14. This is clear evidence that early diagnosis helps to prevent the development of more serious postural complications in adolescence.
When should the screening start?
The earlier the better. Scoliosis and other postural anomalies can be diagnosed as early as infancy. Early diagnosis can improve chances of a better outcome using nonsurgical treatment. As we are talking about the deformities of the vertebral column and the ribcage we have a limited time available. We have to address the problems before bone growth of the individual finishes and the bones lose their plasticity and flexibility.
The screening procedure aims to spot the following spinal problems:
- Deformities in the saggital plane: negligent posture, Scheuermann's Disease, hyperlordosis
- Deformities in the frontal plane - Scoliosis
o Functional deformities
o Structural deformities: idiopathic scoliosis, congenital scoliosis, neuromuscular scoliosis
How long is the screening procedure?
The screening normally takes only about 1-2 minutes for each individual.
What happens after the screening?
If an individual is suspected to be subject of any of the conditions mentioned above we invite him/her (and the parents) for an initial consultation where we carry out additional tests and we provide advice regarding further steps.
What treatment options can Marbles offer?
Our specialised therapists offer the following services:
1. Body awareness programme for classes
2. Negligent posture management groups
3. 1:1 Schroth Therapy
Please feel free to contact _EMAIL_ for more information.

Waking up to the first snow of the season is a magical event. Suddenly seeing white when the day before, the landscape was covered with fading autumn hues, is always a surprise to the senses. Children are especially excited and full of wonder at the arrival of nature's most versatile plaything.
But, not everyone smiles at the sight of the season's first snow. It means more work for parents getting children ready to go outside, more time scraping the vehicle in the morning, more potential danger on the roads and worst of all, more shoveling.
Nevertheless, snow is beautiful, especially when it's still in mid-air, falling softly from the heavens or swirling in the wind. It covers the landscape, making the most of November's stark silhouettes. The colored leaves of autumn quickly pass from memory. Winter's on its way.
Soon it will be time to put out sunflower seeds for the squirrels and birds who have decided to stay for the winter. There will be more activity at the birdbath as the ground freezes and it becomes more difficult for wildlife to find food and fresh water.
As warmer weather is forecast over the next few days, this snow will probably melt as do most first snows here in Nova Scotia. Which leaves one to wonder… when the snow melts… where does the white go?

Doodling while listening actually increases retention of memory, LiveScience reports. A new study shows that subjects who "mindlessly" sketched while listening to a not-so-interesting phone message remembered key facts 29% more than others instructed to just listen. "It helps to keep us on track with a boring task," a researcher affiliated with the study said.
"If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull telephone conversation, they may start to daydream," the researcher continued. "Daydreaming distracts them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task, like doodling, may be sufficient to stop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task."

There are many potential hazards when working in excavations and trenches. Probably the most common hazard at any work site is the threat of cave-in. A cave-in occurs when walls of an excavation collapse.
Cave-ins can be deadly. Wall failures often occur suddenly, with little or no time for the worker to react. The weight of the soil crushes and twists the body, causing death or serious injury in a matter of minutes. Excavations need not be deep or large to create a life threatening hazard, so every excavation must be taken seriously.
Why do cave-ins occur? Undisturbed soil is kept in place by natural horizontal and vertical forces of the nearby soil. When we dig in the earth, these natural forces are no longer able to hold back the soil left behind. With no support, eventually the laws of gravity take over, and the soil from the excavation walls move downward and inward into the excavation. The result is a cave-in.
Cave-ins are more likely to occur in unprotected excavations where:
- The excavation is dug in unstable soil, or in soil that has been dug in before;
- There is excessive vibration from construction equipment or vehicle traffic around the excavation ;
- Too much weight near the sides of an excavation, most frequently from equipment or the excavated material (spoil pile) too near to the edge;
- Water has collected in the excavation;
- Changes in weather conditions (freezing, melting, sudden heavy rain, etc.)
Although there isn't much that can be done about the weather, there are ways to help control these conditions. In order to safely and efficiently work around excavations and prevent cave-ins from occurring, always follow the points below:
- Re-route traffic whenever possible, and keeping only the heavy construction equipment needed near the excavation;
- Keeping the spoil pile at least 2 feet back from the edge of the excavation;
- Pumping water out of the excavation before anyone enters it;
- Using protective systems when required.
The threat of a cave-in is not the only safety concern when working around excavations and trenches. Other hazards to be considered include accidental contact with utility lines, crushing and striking hazards posed by mechanized equipment, and hazardous atmospheres. These hazards will be discussed in greater detail in later chapters. All of these hazards, however, can be kept to a minimum with thorough planning. A pre-job survey allows contractors and owners the opportunity to avoid costly changes after the work has begun.

Integrating Climate in Coastal Land Protection and Restoration: Winyah Bay and Pee Dee River Basin (Winyah-Sewee) Conservation and Resiliency Planning
As the third-largest estuarine drainage area on the U.S. Atlantic coast, the Winyah Bay, Pee Dee River Basin and Sewee to Santee drainage area supports an incredible variety of wildlife and habitats. The project area is divided into two neighboring focus areas — the Winyah Bay and Pee Dee River Basin Project and the Sewee to Santee Project — and spans approximately 1 million acres across six coastal counties in northern South Carolina. The project area encompasses the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge, the North Inlet Winyah National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Francis Marion Nationaparl Forest and the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge.
Since 1984, The Nature Conservancy of South Carolina has protected more than 111,000 acres of this vibrant ecosystem. In 2008, TNC SC integrated climate planning and adaptation into the project, launching the Winyah-Sewee Conservation and Resiliency Planning Project. The goal for this project is three-fold: safeguard habitat, protect and enhance biodiversity and increase the health of the natural system in order to maximize resiliency.
Value of the land and habitat
The Winyah-Sewee Conservation and Resiliency Planning project area encompasses approximately 1 million acres of freshwater and tidal wetlands, cypress-tupelo swamps, floodplain forests, pitcher plant bogs, multiple barrier islands and longleaf pine forests. This is the site of the largest isolated Carolina bay wetland in South Carolina, and is the third-largest estuarine drainage area along the U.S. Atlantic coast (only the Chesapeake Bay and the Pamlico Sound are larger).
The ecosystem offers vital habitat to several species of concern, including the federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, the endangered flatwood salamander and the federally endangered pondberry and American chaffseed. Additional species found here include 59 species of amphibians and reptiles — including the largest breeding population of loggerhead sea turtles outside of Florida — 66 species of songbirds, and nesting osprey. The ecosystem supports internationally renowned populations of migratory birds and waterfowl and American black bear rely on habitat corridors through the region to connect with populations in North Carolina.
Conservation concerns within the Winyah-Sewee Conservation and Resiliency Planning project area include:
- Residential and commercial development, and the loss of rural land.
- Greater restrictions surrounding the use of prescribed burns, as the nearby human population grows.
- Diminished estuarine water quality due to dam operations, sea level rise and more violent storms.
- Sea level rise and saltwater intrusion.
- Water pollution in the form of stormwater runoff and soil erosion.
- Increasing risks of invasive species.
Current protection status and management plan
Since 1974, TNC SC has been protecting habitat within the Winyah-Sewee Conservation and Resiliency Planning Project area. Approximately 10% — more than 111,000 acres — of the combined 1 million acres within the adjoining Winyah and Pee Dee River Basin project area and the Sewee to Santee project area have been protected by TNC SC primarily through land acquisitions. Many of these protected properties abut state and federal protected land, creating a network of approximately 330,000 protected acres across the entire project area. The protected properties include freshwater and tidal wetlands, cypress-tupelo swamps, floodplain forests, pitcher plant bogs, multiple barrier islands and longleaf pine forests.
Due to climate change and associated sea level rise changing the landscape within the Winyah-Sewee Conservation and Resiliency Planning Project area, TNC SC is now in the process of implementing land protection actions to mitigate the effects of sea level rise. Additionally, TNC SC is working with conservation partners to complete new modeling efforts that will improve the resolution of sea level rise predictions.
An adaptive management plan has been adopted for the project, which means that planning will be an ongoing part of the project. Several ongoing and pending modeling, research and monitoring projects will provide valuable guidance for the adaptive management plan, and will also be useful in gauging success.
Process of achieving protection and resilience to climate change
Climate change, sea level rise and worsening storm damage are all of concern within the Winyah-Sewee Conservation and Resiliency Planning Project area, with changes already being seen on the landscape. Some parts of the project area may lose approximately half of their beach habitat, and saltwater intrusion will shift some freshwater habitats to brackish or tidal communities. By planning with these changes in mind, TNC-SC seeks to enhance resiliency and increase the options for animals and plants to migrate as local conditions change. To take a closer look at these issues, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), TNC SC, and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) conducted a Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) analysis with high-resolution and localized data sources for portions of the project area. Using NOAA's Habitat Priority Planner, other spatial data was incorporated with the SLAMM predictions such as parcel size, swallow-tailed kite nesting and observation points, protected lands layer, refuge boundary, and habitat. The results showed that approximately 14,000 acres of currently protected freshwater wetlands within the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) are at risk of converting to brackish marsh over the next 50 years, and that the Cape Romain NWR may experience a 47% loss of beach, dune and salt marsh by 2100. New and unusual tidal creek formations have already been observed in the Cape Romain NWR, and erosion and vegetation loss both are accelerating.
Current climate change response recommendations include the expansion and connection of protected areas, allowing for the creation of habitat corridors across the topography of the ecosystem. This approach — often referred to as conserve the stage — allows habitats and natural communities to shift their ranges as climate conditions continue to change.
Several species are especially vulnerable to sea level rise and storm erosion. Sea level rise scenarios predict that the ecosystem's freshwater forested wetlands — core swallow-tailed kite nesting habitat — may convert to brackish marsh due to saltwater intrusion. Those same forested wetlands used by breeding kites are also vital corridors for coastal black bears and help connect the populations between North and South Carolina.
Sea level rise is already taking a toll for some species. For example, up to 1,500 loggerhead sea turtles nest on the beaches of Cape Romain NWR every year. In 2011, more than half of these nests were relocated by volunteers due to vanishing shoreline and high rates of erosion.
Plans for the future
Objectives for the next five years include implementing large-scale oyster restoration projects, leading efforts to guide public policy as it relates to estuary restoration and climate adaptation, and identifying, prioritizing, and conserving lands that advance climate adaptation in coastal SC.
TNC SC is currently seeking funding to deploy water quality monitoring stations through a contract with the US Geological Survey (USGS). These stations will provide continuous monitoring of water quality indicators such as tidal range, salinity and sedimentation. These results will be used to develop an oyster habitat suitability index model and a more refined sea level habitat conversion model.
Ongoing partner research includes:
- Monitoring of habitat conversion in wetland communities.
- Ground-truth predictions of increasing freshwater tidal reach.
- Species specific projects focusing on black bear, swallow-tailed kites, red cockaded woodpeckers and bobwhite quail.
All work related to climate change is expected to be ongoing.
Stakeholders and local citizens have been kept informed through regional and local workshops, including a series of round-table discussions with coastal resource and water managers to discuss the impact of sea level rise and salinity intrusion into coastal communities and protected areas. TNC SC is also actively engaged with the landowner community in the Black River and Mingo Creek Conservation Area, and joined with local land trust partners in 2012 to host the first "gathering of neighbors" to discuss the future of the conservation area and the role that private landowners can play in a long-term vision for the landscape. TNC SC also uses newsletters, email alerts, its website, and an international magazine to communicate its work.
Partners in research and planning:
- NOAA Coastal Services Center
- North Inlet and Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve
- University of South Carolina
- US Fish and Wildlife Service
- US Geological Survey
- Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge
Partners in land protection:
- American Rivers
- Ducks Unlimited
- Lowcountry Open Land Trust
- North Inlet Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve
- Pee Dee Land Trust
- South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
- Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge
- Waccamaw Riverkeeper
- Scale matters. Consider the resolution of the models and/or predictive analysis when determining the appropriate scale at which to apply conservation actions for climate adaptation.
- Be alert for multiple benefits. Many climate adaptation conservation strategies also provide benefits for human and natural communities.
- It is helpful to communicate benefits of land protection and restoration to stakeholders. For example, the restoration of wetland habitats will improve drinking water resources, flood control, wildlife habitat and public/private recreational opportunities.
- Do not let perfection stand in the way of progress. Climate models and other methods of predictive analysis are not perfect, and cannot answer every question. However, it is important to use whatever information and technology is available to make informed decisions about where and how to direct conservation funding

Transgender youth should be able to have the correct ID to match their gender identity. "Arizona should not be allowed to require my son to undergo surgery before it recognizes him for who he is."
PHOENIX, AZ – Today, the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), along with co-counsel Cooley LLP and Osborn Maledon, P.A. filed a lawsuit challenging Arizona's requirement that transgender people undergo surgery before the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) will correct the sex listed on their birth certificate. That requirement excludes transgender youth from correcting their birth certificates.
The plaintiffs—D.T., Jane Doe, and Helen Roe—are transgender youth who are seeking to correct their birth certificates. Having to use their current, and inaccurate, birth certificates forces them to disclose their transgender status, private information they do not want to share, which causes them serious emotional harm and puts them at risk of discrimination, harassment, and violence.
Requiring surgery bars transgender young people from correcting the gender marker on Arizona birth certificates because, with limited exceptions, transgender young people do not undergo any surgical treatment. As a result, transgender young people like D.T., Jane, and Helen are unable to obtain accurate birth certificates.
The lawsuit alleges that Arizona's surgical requirement violates the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Because of the severe bullying and harassment Jane experienced in school, the Plaintiffs' lawyers also filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction seeking a court order requiring ADHS to issue Jane a corrected birth certificate so that her parents can enroll her in a new school before in-person learning resumes in January 2021.
"Arizona should not be allowed to require my son to undergo surgery before it recognizes him for who he is. There are so many things he would like to do, like sign up to play recreational basketball, but he often stops himself because he is worried about how people will react when they find out he is transgender. As a result, he is missing out on formative experiences to protect his privacy, a choice no kid should ever have to make," said Lizette Trujillo, D.T.'s mother.
"Access to corrected identity documents is critically important to the health and well-being of transgender people. For young people, the birth certificate affects everything from school records to camp registration and sports participation," said Asaf Orr, Senior Staff Attorney and Director of the Transgender Youth Project at the National Center for Lesbian Rights. "The U.S. Constitution protects the right of transgender people to be who they are without interference from the government. Arizona's surgery requirement runs afoul of that fundamental constitutional principle."
"Arizona needlessly prevents transgender young people from correcting their birth certificate, an essential identity document. The surgical requirement serves no legitimate purpose and causes untold harm," said Barrett Anderson, Attorney for Cooley LLP

January 2011 in Network Rail and Suppliers
Trees overhanging the line in Scotland are a concern for one reporter. It has been noted that large trees overhang the line between Dunkeld & Birnam station and Inverness, creating a tunnel effect in some areas.
It is felt by the reporter that Network Rail have done very little to address the issue, even since a train struck a tree in the area on 7 September. The reporter would like to see the affecting trees in the area removed before snowfall increases the risk of trees/branches fouling the line. Please comment.
The tree that was struck in the Dunkeld area had come from
beyond Network Rail's boundary. On the day in question our Lineside
Engineer attended on site and identified other trees that were at
risk and subsequently these have been removed.
Network Rail has commissioned a national lineside survey that is surveying all trees within and beyond our boundaries. This survey ranks all trees deemed to be at risk and then these are removed within a defined timescale. The route in question is currently having this survey carried out.
Over and above the national lineside survey Network Rail has a robust inspection and reporting regime in place to manage lineside vegetation and issues arising from these inspections.
Network Rail works closely with government agencies; local councils and Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). Prior to any tree cutting works, we also make certain that our lineside neighbours are advised when all tree cutting takes place.

text: Using a craft knife, carve the clay into a rectangular piece roughly the circumference of the glass bottle and bend it gently around the bottle. (Tip: Clay will stick to glass if pressed against the surface, so use a light hand in working with clay on the bottle mold.) Add strips of clay to form the bottom portion of the vase, using your finger to smooth the joints. Add another strip to create a top lip. Use your finger to gently smooth the surface, join the creases, and use a small amount water to wet the clay along the seams. Use dampened sponge to smooth uneven surfaces.


Unit templates
Repeating containers
To include a repeating container in a display you must use the tag. Without tags a repeating address container would look like this:
Address Line 1 A; Address Line 1 B
Address Line 2 A; Address Line 2 B
Address Line 3 A; Address Line 3 B
Although of course we'd like it to look like this:
Address Line 1 A
Address Line 2 A
Address Line 3 A
Address Line 1 B
Address Line 2 B
Address Line 3 B
To achieve the ideal layout above a tag is used to define the format of each discrete block, which then repeats as many times as the container does.
Let's say you're pulling this address into a "Related entities" bundle, so as to display the address with the entity name. The display template would look like this:
^ca_entities.address.address1,
^ca_entities.address.address2,
^ca_entities.address.city,
^ca_entities.address.stateprovince,
^ca_entities.address.postalcode,
In the above code the unit delimiter (,) is used between instances of the full address container. The code is used between lines of the individual container placement. It ensures that if no data has been catalogued you won't get a string of empty spaces and commas.
Relative to relationships
The tag also supports a relativeTo setting which is used to shift the frame of reference of a display to a specified target. This is vital for interstitial record displays, hierarchical displays and indirect relationships (see below).
Hierarchical relationships
The tag allows users to organize and display metadata for hierarchically related records. For example, you might have a hierarchy within the Collections table, wherein one parent collection houses smaller child collections. Without the tag, you would only be able to display the preferred label of each child, and you wouldn't be able to specify delimiters such as line breaks. With the tag, however, you can break the child records up into discrete chunks, and you can include additional metadata about each. If you want to display child records along with their idno's, for example, you could do this:
^ca_collections.preferred_labels,
In which relativeTo specifies the table in question and asks the display to find child records. Once the relativeTo frame has been set, however, you can drop the.children and simply reference the collections table, wherein the child records live. If you were to continue including children, (i.e. ca_collections.children.preferred_labels) you would essentially be looking for child records within child records. To use this template in the opposite direction, to display the immediate parent of the record at hand, you would simply format it as . To display all parents, you can format the template with respect to the entire hierarchy: . If you are dealing with multiple records, either as children or as hierarchy, you'll want to enclose the entire template within a , so that each record's metadata can be displayed in an organized manner. For example,
 ^ca_collections.preferred_labels,
would display records like this:
Mini Collection X, 100.1
Mini Collection Y, 100.2
instead of this:
Mini Collection X, Mini Collection Y, 100.1, 100.2
You can also nest additional layers of tags within the syntax discussed above by following the directions in the following section.
Indirect relationships
One use of the tag is to allow cataloguers to display metadata with some relative distance to the chosen record. We could call this the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon for CollectiveAccess.
Let's say you're creating a Collection summary and you'd like to display metadata about Entities, but Entities aren't related directly to Collections. Perhaps they are related to Objects related to the Collection. Never fear! Just as Bruce Willis is 2 degrees away from Kevin Bacon (thanks to Brad Pitt, "The Hamster Factor" and the movie "8"), Entities are also 2 degrees away from Collections thanks to their relativity to Objects.
How does this look in practice? Here's a display template that is used on the object bundle (through the GUI) or object placement (in a profile). It pulls statement metadata from a container on each Entity record related to each Object.
^ca_entities.preferred_labels
The result is a list of artwork titles, artist names and their statements for the works in the collection. Note that in the Falling Water example entity John Smith has two repeats of the statements container:
Restricted indirect relationships
You can further restrict indirect relationships by including restrictToTypes and/or restrictToRelationshipTypes. For example to restrict the relationship included in the display to just individual entities linked as artist you'd use the following:
You may sort the order in which units are output by adding sort and optionally sortDirection to the unit. For example to sort output by the name of a the related object do something like this:
Notice that the sort direction is ASC. Sort direction may be either ASCending or DESCending. If you omit a value, ascending is assumed. You may sort on more than one bundle value by listing each bundle value in sequence separated by semi-colons.
Skipping units
(From v1.5) You can skip records selected by unit tags using the skipIfExpression attribute. It takes an Expression as parameter. Note that the skipIfExpression attribute is evaluated on record level, so while you can use it if your relativeTo spec is a container or an attribute, it doesn't really make sense to do so. Below is a simple example that would skip all entities where the idno had the sequence test in it.

How to Make Christmas Tree Decorations That Look Like a Fish Tank
Christmas tree decorations are pretty much a common sight these days, especially for kids, but they're even more popular when it comes to the decorations for cars and boats.
A lot of car and boat decorating ideas are inspired by the Christmas decorations of the 1920s, which are based on traditional carousels and boats from the era.
The designs are based off of the traditional carousel, which were used in the carousel business.
Cars and boats are often used as decorations to show off holiday or seasonal items, but it's the decorations that are often decorated in a way that makes them look like a fish tank.
These Christmas decorations are a great way to decorate your car or boat without spending a fortune on expensive decorating materials.
To make the decorations look like fish tanks, the decoration needs to be decorated with fish or fish-shaped objects, like beads or balloons.
To decorate the decorations, use the following materials: Carousel Beads or Balls: This can be a simple bead or balloon with a bow.
This can make the decorating more festive.
For a more elaborate and elaborate decoration, you can use more colorful beads or balloon decorations.
For beads, you'll need some small beads or the like.
Make sure you buy some larger beads for a more intricate decorating effect.
The beads can be made from any material that you can find.
For some beads, it's a good idea to buy a whole boat and attach it to the boat with beads.
For more elaborate decorations, you might want to use the beads on your boat, which will make it look like the boat is holding fish in it.
For larger beads, such as the one pictured above, you should buy a larger boat and glue it to it with a small piece of wood.
A good idea is to buy beads from a local craft store.
Beaded Cars: Bead cars are a good way to make a boat look like an aquarium.
Bedding that is made from beads or other shapes is often used in carousel designs.
To put these beads on the caroulet, you would need to make the caro and the carom a part of the design.
Boodles or Bead Bands: Boodle-shaped ornaments can be used to decorat the car or carousel.
You can buy beads or beads to decorating the car of your choice.
Biodome Bead: Biodomes are made from wood or other materials that are placed on a wall and filled with various items.
These items can be placed around the outside of the dome or inside the dome.
For example, beads are often placed around a bowl or an ornament.
To use beads for the car, you'd need to glue the beads to the outside with glue.
For smaller beads, a few beads are also necessary.
To add the beads, make them from a material that is suitable for placing on the wall.
For the bigger beads, glue them to the inside of the bead.
Banners and Decorating Banners: Decorated with decorations is the best way to add a festive touch to your carousel or caro.
The decorations can be as simple as a big bow or a big fish.
For decorations, it can be even more elaborate.
To do this, you could make the decoration from a boat, a fish, or even a carousel carousel that is decorated with beads or balls.
This is one of the best ways to decorator your caroulets and boats and it's fun to watch as you decorate them.
This way, you get to see your decorations in action and you can admire your decorating creations!
To decorates your car and caro with beads, be sure to buy some large beads.
Some of these beads can even be used as the beads.
Bamboo: This bamboo is a bamboo material used in boats and boats of various shapes.
The bamboo is used in making boats and cars for decoration.
A few of the bamboo carouches are decorated with small beads and decorations.
Balsa wood: Balsa is also a good choice to decor the car and boats in your car.
Balsam is a tropical wood that is a great material for making carouets and boats that can be decorated to resemble boats.
Bonsai: Bonsais are bamboo trees that can grow to about two feet tall and about eight feet long.
They are often found growing on the edges of houses.
Bias trees are also a popular choice for decorating carouchettes and boats, as they are often made of bamboo.
Bismuth: Bismoth is another tropical wood.
Bisma is a native tree that is commonly found growing in tropical regions.
Bishops: Bishop trees are trees that are native to Asia, but also grow in parts of the world.
These trees can grow up to six feet tall. The b

Bobblehead Dolls: A Brief History
A bobblehead doll is a collectible toy which is often referred to as a
nodder, wobbler, or bobbing head doll. The head of the bobblehead is often
larger than the rest of the body and connected with a hook or spring.
The spring or hook allows the head to bobble with just a light touch.
Bobblehead dolls are often constructed with a wide range of figures,
such as athletes. However, baseball players are the main types of
athletes who are utilized in the bobblehead designs. Bobblehead dolls
acquire their designs form breakfast cereal mascots, authors and
noble-prize winners. Sporting events sometimes hand out bobblehead
dolls as a promotion with the purchase of a ticket at the gate.
A Brief History of Bobblehead Dolls
The earliest bobblehead doll was thought to have been designed in the
year 1842 for the short story "The Overcoat". The neck of the main
character was referred to as "like the necks of plaster cats which wag
their heads." Modern day bobbleheads made their first appearance in the
1950s. By the 1960s, bobblehead dolls were being produced by major
league baseball organizations. Bobblehead dolls were created to
represent all baseball teams and were all designed with similar cherubic
That same year, the World Series brought specific baseball bobbleheads
like Mickey Mantel, Willie Mays, Roger Maris and Roberto Clemente.
However, all of the dolls were designed with the same face. The next
decade brought product material switching to ceramic instead of
papier-mache. The ceramic figures were than produced for all other
sports and cartoon created characters. The Beatles bobblehead dolls are
the most famous bobbling dolls of all time and were also created in
this era. The Beatles bobble-doll set is the most valuable collection on
the market today. Bobblehead dolls declined in the 1970s and it took
twenty years before bobbleheads would reappear back into society.
The main product material was changed once again to plastic instead of
ceramic. The material change provided manufactures the ability to lower
their processing costs, which made it possible to produce bobblehead
dolls in limited quantities for viable collectors. In 1999, the San
Francisco Giants were the first baseball team ever to distribute over
thirty-five thousand nodding dolls that resembled Willie Mays. Today
bobblehead dolls are iconic figures which are collected by children and
adults all across the nation.
