The Donald E. Miller Wildlife Area is a 16.5 acre area located on the north bank of the White River, on the west side of Muncie. It is a site for nature study and environmental sciences field experiences for students from pre-K through college. The Miller area is a remnant of White River bottomland that was isolated when the Army Corps of Engineers straightened the river channel and constructed a leveein the late 1940s.
This preserve contains a diversity of plants, animals, and habitat types, all located within a small area that is easily accessible to the university and Muncie communities. An oxbow pond, created when the old river channel was isolated by the levee, is located within the preserve. The pond is shallow, has high organic matter level, and due to extensive duckweed in the growing season, has low oxygen levels. Turtles and amphibians inhabit the pond area, as well as a few fish species that are tolerant of the conditions. A mature bottomland forest of predominantly sycamore and hackberry trees occupies a relatively flat river terrace east of the pond. The transitional status of the woods along a topographic moisture gradient, and the presence of the oxbow pond, creates a diverse habitat conducive to the presence of a large number of bird species. Over the last three decades, the rich understory has given way to two invasive exotic plant species, bush honeysuckle and garlic mustard.Due to its proximity to the Ball State University campus and easy access to the property, it has remained an important destination for NREM classes and researches interested in birds.There are no public programs and visit is by permission only.

Fish Farm 1 Design
The Fish Farm problem is designed to have students apply the concepts of ratio and equivalent ratio to distribute a set number of male and female fish into three ponds. Each pond has a target ratio of male-to-female fish. As the students move fish from the tank into the individual ponds, the numerical and graphical displays of the current numbers of male and female fish will change.
For their birthday, the Carp triplets received 26 tropical fish: 13 females and 13 males. They discussed ways to divide the fish among their three tiny backyard ponds. Angel said, "I want the same number of male and female fish in my pond." "Okay," said Molly. "I want three times as many males as females in my pond." "Then I want twice as many females as males in my pond," Gar replied. Is there a way to put all 26 fish into those three ponds, while giving each triplet what he or she wants? Use the applet to explore this question.
Questions / Explorations
- How many male fish and female fish does each triplet get in his or her pond? Describe the work you did to find the solution. (Sample questions you can answer: Into which pond did you put fish first? How many fish of each kind went into that pond? Why? What was your next step? How were you sure a pond had the correct ratio?)
- Given the 13 males and 13 females, what are ALL the possible numbers of male and female fish that would satisfy the ratio of 1 male to 2 female fish in Gar's pond? Explain why these different amounts are equivalent to the ratio 1:2.
- Explain why all possible answers in question 2 result in the same pie graph for Gar's pond.
- Find a different way to distribute all 26 fish among the three ponds in the correct ratios.
- Distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 female fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 male fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Review the concept of ratios in the form a:b.
- Print out the matching tasks from the Web page All About Ratios by Cynthia Lanius. Have students work in small groups to discuss these tasks and make convincing arguments about their answers.
- Have students discuss how to represent the ratio 2:3 in a circle graph.
- Have students find a DIFFERENT way to distribute all 26 fish among the three ponds.
- Have students distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 female fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Have students distribute the fish into the three ponds such that only 1 male fish is left in the large tank. Is there more than one way to distribute the fish and achieve the target ratios?
- Encourage students to develop a procedure and justification for determining whether two ratios are equivalent.
The pre-activity should help students begin to think about the concept of equivalent ratios, and how a ratio might be represented in a circle graph. The post-activity is an extension of the original problem, and should give students more opportunities to experience creating equivalent ratios in both numerical and graphical form.
- understand patterns, relations, and functions
- use mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships
- Number & Operations
- understand and use ratios and proportions to represent quantitative relationships;
- develop, analyze, and explain methods for solving problems involving proportions, such as scaling and finding equivalent ratios
- create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
- select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems
- use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena
- Problem Solving
- solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts
- monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving
- communicate mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others
- use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas precisely
- ePOW (electronic Problem of the Week) activity hosted on the MathForum
- Teacher Support
- Lesson plans created by participants of the 2010 Summer Institute

Caffeine intake may help overcome dry eye syndrome (DES) — caused by the diminishing ability to produce tears with symptoms like grittiness, scratchy or smarting sensation and production of stringy discharge from the eyes — reveals a study. The disease, for many, could simply be annoying, but for others it could lead to the loss of vision. DES affects about four million people aged 50 and above in the US alone. Earlier research has shown the coffee could help cure skin cancer although on the flipside it has been linked to infertility in women.
Researchers led by Reiko Arita, from the University of Tokyo's School of Medicine, conducted tests on 78 participants, who produced significantly more tears after consuming caffeine than after taking a placebo, the journal Ophthalmology reported.
The research was inspired by an earlier study that had shown a reduced risk for dry eye in caffeine users: 13 percent of users had the syndrome compared to nearly 17 percent of non-users, according to a Tokyo statement.
The team knew that caffeine was likely to stimulate tear glands, as it was known to increase other secretions, such as saliva and digestive juices. They also knew that people respond differently to caffeine, so they analysed study participants' DNA samples for two genetic variations that play important roles in caffeine metabolism, the university said.
Tear production proved to be higher in participants who had two genetic variations.
"If confirmed by other studies, our findings on caffeine should be useful in treating dry eye syndrome," said Arita. "At this point, though, we will advise using it selectively for patients who are most sensitive to caffeine's stimulating effects."

Salary Continuation Plans
A salary continuation plan is a corporate sponsored benefit generally designed to replace an executive's income in the event of his/her death, retirement or disability. The benefit plan is exempt from ERISA and must be confined to a select group of highly compensated people. Because it is exempt from ERISA and is a non-qualified benefit, the company may decide which executives participate and the level of their benefit. For example, the CEO might have 100% of his/her salary replaced by the plan while other executives may have a smaller percentage of their income replaced. In addition, the company may have a "years of service" requirement before the executive is eligible for the benefit. This type of benefit, as opposed to a deferred compensation plan, is fully funded by the company.
A plan begins with a written agreement (Plan Document) outlining the provisions of the plan including how the participating executive qualifies for a benefit. The advantages to the company of establishing a salary continuation plan are:
 1. Its simplicity and ease of administration;
 2. They assist in the attraction and retention of key executives;
 3. They are flexible, allowing for different benefit levels and vesting schedules;
 4. With life insurance, company plan costs can be recovered.
Some of the benefits to executives are:
 1. Personal financial security;
 2. Benefit amounts can be negotiated with the employer;
 3. Acts as a supplement to the 401(k) plan for retirement.
Corporate owned life insurance (COLI) is an excellent way to fund a salary continuation death and retirement benefit. The cash value grows tax-free on the corporate balance sheet and can be used to pay the retirement benefit. An individual supplemental disability policy is then used to fund the disability benefit that cannot be funded by the group long term disability plan.

History of Chemistry in Cork
Chemistry in Cork has long and deep roots which date back as far as Robert Boyle (1626 - 1691). Boyle, who was a son of the first Earl of Cork and was born in Lismore near Cork, was one of the great early scientists. His experimental findings brought to an end the era of alchemy and led to the foundation of modern chemistry.
The Royal Cork Institution and Queen's College Cork
Boyle's influence in Cork persisted long after. A scientific institute that had been founded earlier was incorporated by royal Charter in 1807 to become the Royal Cork Institution (_PHONE_). It was subsidised by a descendent of Boyle. Four professors were employed, including a Professor of Chemistry. One of the holders of this professorship was Edmund Davy, a cousin of the famed Sir Humphry Davy.
While in Cork, he developed his research on the chemistry of platinum, water hardness, and the chemistry of foodstuffs such as milk and flour. When financial difficulties led to the demise of the Cork Institution, the strong reaction among the business community in Cork led to the promotion of a scheme for provincial colleges with power to confer degrees. The past success of the Cork Institution paved the way, and in 1845 the Colleges Bill established the three Queen's Colleges at Cork, Belfast, and Galway.
The 20th century
Although the first President of Queen's College Cork, Sir Robert Kane FRS, was a noted scholar in both medicine and chemistry, the activities of Chemistry were initially confined to training medical and engineering students. With the introduction of the Universities Bill, a Faculty of Science was instituted and a new building for Chemistry and Physics was completed in 1910. Between 1910 and 1960, Chemistry had a succession of professors, but it was not until the appointment of Francis Leslie Scott that major changes occurred. It was mainly his success and drive as an academic that led to the completion of the current Science Building in 1970. Chemistry now expanded rapidly with the appointment of professorships in organic, physical, inorganic, and more recently in analytical chemistry and in pharmaceutical chemistry. Its graduates were of such calibre that many international pharmaceutical companies opted to manufacture in the greater Cork area on a large scale, with numerous Cork graduates appointed to academic posts throughout Ireland.
The last decade has seen a robust expansion of the department's facilities and personnel, in line with the booming Irish economy and the need for a more highly trained workforce. The need for more research space has been met by the construction of the new Cavanagh Pharmacy building and the Environmental Research Institute, both of which have outstanding laboratory facilities. New personnel have added strength to the school's research programmes: in addition to our long-standing excellence in synthetic work and close links with pharmaceutical chemistry, the department has built up new areas of strength in materials chemistry and nanoscience, separation science and chemical sensors, and atmospheric chemistry. Chemistry continues to be a leading discipline at the University College Cork and is recognised internationally for the calibre of its graduates and research.

Better phosphorus source
Testing sustainable fertilizer reclaimed from waste
Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013
By Rachel Webber, College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences
Pierce College student Arielle Munn adds fertilizers to marigolds and peppers in the greenhouse.
PUYALLUP, Wash. – Phosphorus recycled from human and animal waste for plant fertilizer could ease demand for the dwindling, increasingly expensive rock-mined element.
Scientists at Washington State University have found plants flourish with struvite, a material in waste composed of magnesium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Teamed with Multiform Harvest, a Seattle phosphorus recovery company, the researchers are fine-tuning the application and amounts of fertilizer in hopes of marketing a product and benefiting the world's food supply.
"You can't continue mining a finite resource forever," said Rita Hummel, a scientist at the WSU Puyallup Research and Extension Center. "But as long as we … can reclaim struvite from animal manure and sewage, then this is something that's sustainable.
We're figuring out how to use it effectively and safely."
Tomato 'Early Girl' and marigold 'Little Hero Flame'
from early experiments with struvite, triple
superphosphate and no phosphorus.
Benefits to local economy, water quality
Hummel is using Multiform Harvest struvite from wastewater treatment plants at Yakima, Wash., and Boise, Idaho. In addition, struvite from manure at dairy farms could result in development of regional nutrient recycling.
"When you feed a cow, about 20 to 25 percent of the phosphorus the cow eats ends up in the milk carton," said Joe Harrison, Hummel's scientist colleague at WSU. "That means about 70 to 85 percent doesn't end up in the milk carton and ends up in the manure."
Not only could reclaiming struvite from waste localize production and distribution, but it could also help mitigate water pollution problems such as overloading phosphorus in agricultural soils.
"The research being performed at WSU is central to us generating the hard data we must have to get this recycled phosphorus into the agricultural market, from large fields to specialized greenhouses and nurseries," said Kevin Fullerton, product developer for Multiform Harvest.
In previous greenhouse crop studies, Hummel discovered she could grow plants with struvite just as well as with the commercial phosphorus source, triple superphosphate. Crops like basil, cucumber, marigold and tomatoes barely sprouted without phosphorus, but flourished with struvite from King County municipal wastewater.
With support from a U.S. Department of Agriculture small business innovation research grant, she will experiment with different rates and ways of applying the struvite—adding it to the potting mix, sprinkling it on the surface or placing it beneath the plant—and looking at how quickly it is released.
"One of the things we need to look at here in the Puget Sound is if this is slow-release," Hummel said. "We think it is and (we) are very interested in a slow-release product so it doesn't leach out the bottom of the pots, run down the drain and into the streams, rivers and Puget Sound."
Hummel is also interested in researching how the product interacts with Douglas fir potting mixes popular in the Pacific Northwest.
Variety of products
Most phosphorus in the U.S. comes from Florida. But U.S. production could decline sharply in the next 30 years, Fullerton said. Then the world will depend mainly on stockpiles in Morocco, China, South Africa and Jordan.
With the federal funding and WSU research, Multiform Harvest would use anaerobic digesters to recycle waste into crystalized solid fertilizer, providing growers with products like earth spikes, mixes and tablets that release nutrients.
"If we can take … a waste disposal problem and turn it into a fertilizer that actually replaces something we have to mine and are running out of - that's sustainability," Hummel said.

Changes of Wind – Directed by Russell Wallace
Out on the land and in the mountains, the wind moves through the senses. We see the grass moving, we hear the movement of the branches of the trees and we feel the wind on our face and sometimes we can even feel the breath being taken right out of us.
The wind does bring great change sometimes. We see the debris from the torn trees and any structure that dares stand against the wind. The wind then is a catalyst.
History is full of examples of great change and with those events are the people that are there tearing down branches and breaking limbs and making some trees fall. In Indigenous cultures there have been many storms and there has been a lot of debris left behind but there are still many trees standing.
A lot of our people have been isolated and blinded by the debris and whirl around the urban centres getting stuck in circles in the core of the city. Eventually some awaken and find others and work as the grasses do when a wind comes, moving together. We reach out, we find our support in others and then we dance with them.

Edward Fitzsimmons Dunne
|Edward Fitzsimmons Dunne|
|24th Governor of Illinois|
|Preceded by||Charles S. Deneen|
|Succeeded by||Frank O. Lowden|
|38th Mayor of the City of Chicago|
|Preceded by||Carter Harrison, Jr.|
|Succeeded by||Fred A. Busse|
October 12, 1853|
|Died||May 24, 1937
|Spouse(s)||Elizabeth J. Kelly (d.1928)|
Edward Fitzsimmons Dunne (October 12, 1853 – May 24, 1937) was an American politician who was the 24th Governor of Illinois from 1913 to 1917 and previously served as the 38th mayor of Chicago from April 5, 1905 to 1907.
Early years
Born in 1853, in Watertown, Connecticut, he was the son of an ardent Irish nationalist, Patrick William (P. W.) Dunne (1832–1921), who emigrated to America in 1849 after the failed Young Ireland revolt. His mother, Delia Mary (Mary) Lawlor, was the daughter of a prosperous Irish contractor, and participant in the Irish Rebellion of 1798, who helped construct the docks of Galway.
The family moved to Peoria, Illinois while Dunne was still an infant, and he was educated there in the public schools. His father refused to send his son to the local Catholic academy, because the Catholic Church had spoken out against the activities of the Fenians.
P. W. Dunne was a prosperous businessman, active in both Irish and American politics. He raised money for the Fenians, gave generously of his own funds, and frequently hosted Irish politicians, political exiles, and rebels in his home when they traveled to Chicago.
Education and early career
After Dunne graduated from high school in 1871, he was sent to Ireland to attend Trinity College in Dublin. His father wanted his son to be educated at the alma mater of Irish patriot, Robert Emmet. Among his classmates was the author Oscar Wilde. Dunne did extremely well at Trinity, but was forced to leave one year short of graduation, after his father suffered a financial setback.
Dunne returned to Illinois, and finished his education at Union College of Law in Chicago, where his family had settled in 1877. Soon after graduation he married the daughter of a Chicago businessman, Elizabeth Kelly, and started a prosperous legal practice.
Political career
He served from _PHONE_ as Judge of the Circuit Court in Chicago. He resigned to run for mayor, winning election as a Democrat, in 1905. As Mayor, Dunne was instrumental in reducing the price of gasoline in Chicago from $1.00 to 85 cents, and of water from 10 cents to 7 cents per thousand gallons. He was also a strong proponent of municipal ownership of public utilities.
Dunne returned to his legal practice in 1907 after he finished his term as mayor. He returned to politics in 1912, when he was elected Governor of Illinois, on the Democratic ticket.
As governor Dunne championed numerous progressive reforms, including Women's Suffrage, prison reforms, major infrastructural improvements, the creation of the Public Utility Commission, the Efficiency and Economy Commission, the Legislative Reference Bureau, and he also expanded the state's responsibility for overseeing workman's compensation benefits and teachers' pensions.
In November 1915, Dunne designated state Senator Stephen Canaday of Hillsboro to appear as his representative on the train car along with the Liberty Bell as it passed through southern Illinois on its nationwide tour returning to Pennsylvania from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. After that trip, the Liberty Bell returned to Pennsylvania and will not be moved again.
- "In view of the fact that the Ku Klux Klan has adopted the weapon of mass action, it was our desire to organize a society which shall develop harmony and good feeling between different classes, rather than enmity," Mr. Dunne said today. "Invitations were sent to many prominent church, political, business and welfare men, and the replies are coming in now...."
- The Ku Klux Klan, which maintains an office here under the name of the "Southern Publicity Bureau" was called "a menace to this and any community" by former Governor Dunne in their adoption of the "equipment of burglar masks and implements of violence."
American Commission on Irish Independence
In 1919, Dunne was appointed by the Irish Race Convention to serve on the American Commission on Irish Independence. As part of this commission, Dunne traveled to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 in order to voice Irish-American desires for an independent Irish nation. During his stay in Europe, he also visited Ireland. He spend ten days touring the island and meeting with politicians. He also addressed the First Dail on 9 May 1919.
Later years and death
Dunne returned once again to practicing law after leaving office in 1917. His legal practice was damaged by the ravages of the Great Depression, but he supplemented this work with a position as counsel to the Cook County Board of Election Commissioners.
Dunne died in Chicago on May 24, 1937.

A person 'X' invests 'P' dollars at once. In 7.25 years, if the amount doubles, then what would be the amount in terms of 'P' for 29 years?
So, I see that every 7.25 years we have P+P. Now, 7.25 goes into 29 4 times. Thus, we should have (P+P)^4=(2P)^4=16P^2.
how does this look?

This also works for bolding greek letters in math mode, e.g. \bm{\alpha} – Martin Tapankov Sep 6 '10 at 15:46
You can define your own math alphabet that accesses the Computer Modern symbol font in its bold weight.
$\mathcal{A}$ $\mathbfcal{A}$

Another option is to bite the bullet and use LuaTeX with OpenType math fonts. In Context mkiv you can use
${\bf\cal abc}$
To get bold calligraphic fonts. As a bonus you get lowercase calligraphic as well. I am sure that unicode-math for lualatex has something similar.

Weight class (boxing)
In boxing, a weight class is a standardized weight range for boxers. The lower limit of a weight class is equal to the upper weight limit of the class below it. The top class, with no upper limit, is called heavyweight in professional boxing and super heavyweight in amateur boxing. A boxing match is usually scheduled for a fixed weight class, and each boxer's weight must not exceed the upper limit. An amateur boxer's weight must in addition not fall below the lower limit, although pro boxers may fight above their weight class. A nonstandard weight limit is called a catch weight.
The weigh-in
A professional boxer typically weighs more between fights than at the time of a fight. Part of the process of training for a bout is "getting down to fighting weight". The weigh-in takes place the day before the fight. Boxers typically stand on the scales barefoot and without gloves. The weigh-in is often a photo opportunity and boxers or their entourage may trash talk each other. This element is such a valued part of the build-up that heavyweight boxers go through the ritual of being weighed even though there is no limit to be measured against, even where there appears to be genuine animosity between boxers.
A boxer who is over the weight limit may strip naked to make the weight if the excess is minimal; otherwise, in a professional bout, one can try again later, typically after losing weight in the interim through dehydration by vigorous exercise in a steam room. If the excess weight is too great, the effort expended trying to "make weight" will make the boxer unfit for the fight itself. In such cases, the fight may be cancelled, with the over weight boxer sanctioned; or the fight may proceed as a catch weight non-title fight.
An amateur boxer must make the weight at the initial weigh-in; there is no opportunity to try again later. There is a "general weigh-in" before the start of the tournament and a "daily weigh-in" on the morning of each of a fighter's bouts. At the general weigh-in, the fighter must be between the weight class's upper and lower limits; at the daily weigh-in only the upper limit is enforced. A fighter outside the limit at the initial weigh-in may be allowed to fight in a different class if there is space in the tournament. At major events such as boxing at the Olympics, there is a limit of one boxer per country per weight class.
A boxer may fight different bouts at different weight classes. The trend for professionals is to move up to a higher class as they age. Winning titles at multiple weight classes to become a "multiple champion" is considered a major achievement. In amateur boxing, bouts are much shorter and much more frequent, and boxers fight at their "natural" weight.
One boxer is said to be better "pound for pound" than another if he is considered superior with due regard for their difference in weight. Theoretical comparisons of the merits of boxers in different weight classes are a popular topic for boxing fans, with a similar speculative appeal to comparing sports figures from different eras; in both cases, the competitors could never face each other in reality.
In the early nineteenth century, there were no standard weight classes. In 1823, the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue said the limit for a "light weight" was 12 stone (168 lb) while Sportsman's Slang the same year gave 11 stone (154 lb) as the limit. Size mismatches were dangerous for the smaller boxer and unsatisfying for the spectators. National and world titles could only become recognised if standard weight classes were agreed upon. Important sets of weight classes were those specified in 1909 by the National Sporting Club of London, and those contained in the 1920 Walker Law which established the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC).
After the split in the 1960s between the WBC and the WBA, the divisions were narrowed, creating more champions simultaneously, and making it easier for fighters to move between different weight divisions. Among the professional bodies, the names of the new divisions are not standardized between different sanctioning bodies, although the cutoff weights are. These weights are specified in pounds, reflecting the historic dominance of America (and, earlier, Britain) in the sport.
Catch weight
A nonstandard weight limit is called a catch weight. A catch weight may be agreed for an individual bout—sometimes even for a championship bout—but championships are awarded only at the standard weight classes. For example, when Manny Pacquiao fought Miguel Cotto at a catch-weight of 145 pounds, the World Boxing Organization sanctioned this as a title fight for welterweight, whose limit is 147 pounds.
Professional boxing
The date is that since which a continuous world title has been recognised by a major sanctioning body; some classes had earlier champions recognised intermittently or by minor bodies. One current weight class with only minor recognition is "super-cruiserweight"; widely used as an informal descriptor, it is a formal weight class of the lightly regarded (professional) International Boxing Association at a limit of 210 lb; the IBA's cruiserweight limit is 190 lb.

Amateur boxing
When the (amateur) International Boxing Association (AIBA) was founded in 1946 to govern amateur boxing, it metricated the weight class limits by rounding them to the nearest kilogram. Subsequent alterations as outlined in the boxing at the Summer Olympics article; these have introduced further discrepancies between amateur and professional class limits and names. The lower weight classes are to be adjusted in September 2010, to establish an absolute minimum weight for adult boxers.
Amateur weight classes also specify the minimum weight (which the same as the maximum weight of the next highest class). For safety reasons, fighters cannot fight at a higher weight. This also meant that even the heaviest weight class has a limit, albeit a lower bound. The lower limit for "heavyweight" was established in 1948 at 81 kg. When a new limit of 91+ kg was established in 1984, the name "heavyweight" was kept by the 81+ kg class, and the 91+ kg class was named "super heavyweight", a name not currently used in professional boxing.
Classes are as follows:
|Class name||Weight class limit (kg)|
At the Olympics, each weight-class is a separate single-elimination tournament. The competition begins with the first round of the lightest weight class and proceeds with the first round of each higher weight class; then the next round of the lightest class, and so on, with the finals of each class held over the final two days, and the super-heavyweight final last of all.

Specific Gravity
Relative density, Archimedes' principle, Gravity (alcoholic beverage)
Specific gravity or relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water. Temperature and pressure must be specified for both the sample and the reference. The following formula is usedSpecific gravity= density of sample/density of same volume of water. Specific gravity is commonly used as a simple means of obtaining information about the concentration of solutions of various materials. Specific gravity is useful in the identification of minerals because it does not require the direct determination of volume. The determination of density for some minerals is difficult because of the irregular shapes of many samples. Definitions:
Rocks are solid substances composed of minerals.
Elements are composed of one type of atom.
Salts are composed of a metal and a nonmetal. The arrangement of atoms is highly ordered into crystals. •Minerals may be elements or salts that occur naturally and are formed in ordered arrangements that are called crystals. Procedure for part A:
Prepare data tables to record findings.
Obtain set of metals labeled A-D
Hold one sample in your hand and heft it up and down, continue with the rest of the samples. •Record which samples felt heavier in your hand. The objects that feel heavier for the same size have a higher specific gravity. •Order the objects in terms of increasing specific gravity.
2nd to lightestSteel
Procedure part B: Specific gravity of liquids.
Prepare table to collect data. Gather mass, volume, density and specific gravity for each liquid sample. •Pipet samples of each of the four liquids (one being water) we will be examining into a test tube. •Pipet 5mL of each liquid one at a time and place in weighing boat on balance. Record the volume and mass of each. •Calculate the density of each using the formula:...

For who don't know how does induction heating work, a short description can be found here.
However, my question is about physics. Assume I have a coil inductor calculated carefully 50 uH as below:
inductor calculation
the inductors Diameter is 20 mm and length is 1.8 * 40 = 72 mm.
9.4 A AC current is applied to the inductor at 33 Khz.
AC current Frequency
Now that I know how my inductor works, assume I placed an iron stick (1 cm diameter and 20 cm length) into the center of the inductor as below:
induction heating
How can I calculate the dissipated energy as heat on the iron stick? How can I calculate in how much time this system can heat the iron stick up to 500° celsius?
What kinds of calculations are involved here? Could you explain them step by step?
this is schematic:
This is the power graph of the coil inductor:
power graph
 - $\begingroup$ Have you measured inductance with the iron stick? $\endgroup$ – user115350 May 22 '16 at 15:38
 - $\begingroup$ No? I believe it won't do much effect since it is assumed to have infinite resistance. It is considered as open loop. $\endgroup$ – Alper91 May 22 '16 at 15:39
 - $\begingroup$ I was thinking that changes permeability and thus changes inductance. Resistance inside the iron stick has limited value. That, with eddy current, is the source of heat. The quickest way to get the time is to measure the power input to the coil and, with certain efficiency 9(~90%), mass of iron stick and heat capacity, you may find the time by integral. However, this assumes there is no heat loss. $\endgroup$ – user115350 May 22 '16 at 16:40
 - $\begingroup$ Correction! Inductance changes with the magnetic material inside of it. It increase with magnetic conductor presense. $\endgroup$ – Alper91 May 22 '16 at 16:41
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Inductance changes and it leads current to decrease. Also the frequency decrease a little. But, it oscillates anyway. Power input to coil changes, its awarage power is like zero. How should I calculate the power? I added the graphs to the question. $\endgroup$ – Alper91 May 22 '16 at 16:59

The Guardener Deer Repeller
The Guardner, a new DEER REPELLING DEVICE, has features designed to make it one of the best product on the market today. The Guardener™ A201 uses two proven deer repelling technologies (ultrasound and water spraying) in a package that is environmentally "green" and solves many of the shortcomings of other water sprayers or ultrasonic repelling devices. The product uses BOTH repelling technologies (water and ultrasound), is solar powered, and has a strong battery operated pump to produce a very effective water pattern over a large area.
The A201 Guardener does not require a water hose connection, electrical wiring,or stakes to hold it in place. It contains its own water supply and battery power. This makes it easily portable. It does not create wet or muddy areas, and because there are no hoses it does not interfere with lawn mowing or produce tripping hazards as other products do. Our product can easily be placed far from water supplies or in areas where it would be impractical to run a water hose. Since it uses NO chemicals or irritants is compatible with organic gardening and does anger animal rights activists. We never want our products to harm animals in any way! Satisfaction guarantees and warranties apply.

More Questions About The Guardener?
What is the Guardener? The Guardener is an intelligent device aimed to stop deer and other animals from invading garden crops or precious flowers. It is a solar powered, maintenance free device--- aside from filling the tank with water as needed. It provides an independent water pressure system so your garden is clear of additional water pipes.
How does the Guardener deter animals? The device is equipped with 2 effective yet non-harming weapons to deter animals. First, it issues an ultrasonic alarm which can only be heard by the animals when they approach to a specific area set by the sensitivity. If the animals are not deterred by the alarm, the second weapon—a pressurized water jet will physically scare them away.
How does the device know animals are approaching? The device uses a motion sensor to detect the presence of nearby animals. You can set the detecting area by adjusting the sensitivity knob.
What is the effective range of the motion sensor? The range can be adjusted from a minimum of 15 feet to a maximum of 25 feet. Different weather conditions may slightly alter ranges.
How much area can the the Guardener cover? The sprinkler can rotate up to 170 degrees and shooting pressurized water as far as 17 to 22 feet.
Can I adjust the distance range for the sprinkler? No. The sprinkler is customized for simplicity and cannot be adjusted.
How do I avoid accidentally setting off the device? As long as you approach the device from behind, you will not set it off. Should you accidentally activate the sensor from the front; you still have time to walk away during the buzzing period which signals activation of the ultrasound alarm. If you intend to work around the detecting area for a time period, you can simply press the off button to deactivate the system. Just remember to switch it back on when done.
How I install my Guardener to avoid aiming to other people? In general, the sensor should only face the garden. People working behind the sensor will not activate the sensor.
My garden is near a street. Will the vehicles driving by activate my Guardener? As long as your sensor is not facing the street, it will be fine. In addition, there is a delay time sensor activation such that a fast moving object will not cause the sensor to respond.
What is the advantage of the Guardener compared to other animal repelling system? A unique feature of The Guardener is that it uses both ultrasound and water blast to repel animals. Consequently, it is more effective and reliable than products which use only one feature to deter animals.
Is the water system by the Guardener better than other water blast repelling systems? Another unique and important feature of the Guardener water system is that it does not connect to a water resource through water pipe ensuring the cleanliness and beauty of your yard. the Guardener only needs water refilled into its tank on average of once every 10-14 days.
Then how the water is pressurized? A high pressure, self-operating submersible water pump delivers water pressure of 2 bars to the sprinkler. The sprinkler then rotates to spray the water toward unwanted animals.
How much water is stored in the tank and how many times does a full tank last? The tank itself can hold about 3.5 gallons of water which is enough for 30 to 40 times of pumping.
How long does the sprinkler work in a cycle? Each blast lasts about 4 seconds back and forth when the angle is set to 120 degrees.
Under normal use, how often you need to fill up the water tank? On average, if a deer visits 2 times a day, it would take about 10 days to 2 weeks to empty a full tank. We anticipate you will need to water your garden much more frequently than refilling your Guardener. On the same note, we found that when deer come close enough to be sprayed by the water after hearing the ultrasound, they learn to stay away from the area just from ultrasound alone. This results in less water use over time.
What could be the reason for the water tank to empty unusually fast? Unless you have animals visiting more than 30 times a day, the most probable cause is false triggering from pointing the Guardener at moving water or vehicles or severe wind. You may need to adjust your location if you have false triggering issues.
Except occasionally filling the water tank, is the Guardener a maintenance free system? Yes. The system uses a solar energy panel to recharge the battery power.
What sunshine exposure is sufficient for normal use? For an average use of 3-4 times of triggering the water pump each day, around 2 hours of exposure will be plenty.
What if my location does not provide enough sunlight to power the Guardener? You may need to try alternative locations. If you cannot find an ideal location, you can purchase an additional solar panel from AimerGard which can be easily connected to the Guardener though an existing spare connector.
Will the Guardener be damaged if the water runs out? The pump is capable of running dry for longer than 5 minutes. Since every pumping cycle only lasts 4 seconds, there will be no immediate damage.
Can the Guardener be used the whole year long? The Guardener is designed to operate in conditions that support plant life. The Guardener is not designed to pump frozen water, therefore, it is mandatory to move the Guardener to shelter in freezing conditions.
How do I store the Guardener? The water tank should be emptied. We also recommend charging the solar panel for 1-2 days before storage.
Are the products available in different colors? The products are only available in the green color; this was chosen to both blend in with the natural environment and to allow the customer to easily view the water level in the tank. If you wish to change the color of the product to blend in with your house, etc., you may paint it with any commercial spray paint.
Is there any factor I should consider if I choose to paint the product? The green color of the product allows the water level to be easily seen. If you choose to paint the product & wish to be able to easily view the water level in your tank, then you should consider either 1) leaving an unpainted vertical strip on the product, or 2) choosing a paint color that is light enough or translucent enough to be able to view the water level.
Can I use any paint to change the color of the product? Yes, you can use any commercial outdoor paint available from home improvement stores, etc.


Brain injury turns Italian man into Frenchman with poor language skills
Article content
A brain injury has turned an Italian man French, even though he doesn't speak the language very well.
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh and the Somma Lombardo Hospital in Italy, detailed the man's odd condition in the medical journal Cortex.
The man, who is 50 and described only by his initials, JC, had a brain injury stemming from an arterial anomaly four years ago. Abruptly afterwards, he began to talk in French. He only reads French magazines, enjoys French movies and eats French food.
The researchers said JC's previous history with French amounted to high school language classes and a "fling" with a French woman while the man was in his 20s. This was the first time he had used the language in 30 years.
Despite his newfound desire to speak French -- what the scientists call a "compulsive foreign language syndrome" -- JC still can't speak it very well.
But what he lacks in accuracy, he makes up for in "exaggerated intonation," the scientists say.
And he doesn't let it get him down: "unjustified euphoria," they call it -- even offering to teach his neighbours how to speak French.
"When a trauma to the brain occurs -- due to a car accident or a stroke, tumour, or other causes -- some parts of the network may be spared while some others temporarily or irreversibly damaged," Regina Jokel, a speech-language pathologist told ABC News in 2010, after studying a Croatian teen who began speaking German.

Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs:
Go to previous family: Rector | next family: Ireland
In early records Maria Peek is called in 1664 "one of the oldest inhabitants of New Amsterdam." She was the wife of Jan Peek, an early settler of New Amsterdam, who for many years kept an inn. In 1655 he sold two houses in Fort Orange to Johannes Dyckman. His wife was Maria (De Truy) Volchers, a widow whom he married February 20, 1650. They had a son Jacobus, who took up land on the second flat, south side of the Mohawk river. He married Elizabeth Leunise and had many children. It is from this ancestry that the Peek family herein considered undoubtedly sprang, although the true line of descent cannot be given.
(I) James C. Peek was born in 1755, died March 7, 1826. He married Nancy ————, who died January 30, 1829. They settled on new land in the southwestern part of the town of Florida, Montgomery county, New York, where they cleared a farm and made a home in the wilderness. They endured all the hardships and were exposed to all the dangers of the pioneer. In that heavily timbered section the labor of clearing a farm was a long and arduous task. They reared a family, whose names with a single exception cannot at this time be given.
(II) John, son of James C. and Nancy Peek, was born on the homestead not far from the Mohawk river in Florida, 1784, died there in 1859. He inherited the homestead farm, which he still further brought under cultivation, and lived on it all his days. He married Nancy Van Voorhees, a daughter of another pioneer settler of Florida, where she was born. She survived her husband and lived to the age of eighty years. Children:
 1. James, who was a farmer of Florida for over forty years; he married ———— Cady, who lived to be eighty years of age, and left children, Walter and Hannah, both of whom survive.
 2. Walter, see forward.
 3. Margaret, married Chester Cooley, of Florida; they settled on a farm in the town of Amsterdam where they lived to be very old people.
 4. Cornelius, lived and died in the town of Amsterdam, New York; he was a blacksmith; he married Annie Swart and reared a family.
(III) Walter, second child of John and Nancy (Van Voorhees) Peek, was born on the farm in Florida, January 24, 1812, and here died January 29, 1853. He followed the pursuit of agriculture all his life. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and a man of high standing in his community. He married, January 12, 1837, Katherine Peek (a cousin), born October 23, 1820, died April 28, 1908. She was also a Presbyterian. She survived her husband and became the wife of Dr. Grant Vanken, a widower with two children, Ida and Frank. Children of Walter and Katherine (Peek) Peek:
 1. John H., see forward.

 1. Agnes, wife of V. Turnbull, and
 2. Alexander Robb;
 3. a daughter, Dorothy Robb, is deceased.
(IV) John H., only son of Walter and Katherine (Peek) Peek, was born March 8, 1835, on the homestead farm, where he was reared and has always lived. He is of the fourth generation to own and cultivate the fertile acres which James C. Peek located and cleared. He, like the members of his family, is a member of the Presbyterian church. In political faith he is a Republican. He married, in Florida, June 8, 1871, Katherine O'Breen, born in the village of Ames, town of Canajoharie, Montgomery county, New York, January 25, 1842. Children:

About form two National Assessment examination tanzania
The Form Two National Assessment examination is conducted every year in Tanzania. It is a key step in advancing students' reading and writing skills and also covers their knowledge of other subjects like Basic mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History, English, Kiswahili, Civics, Biology, And other subjects
The National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) is a Government Institution which was established by the Parliamentary Act No. 21 of 1973. NECTA is responsible for the administration of all National Examinations in Tanzania.
The decision to establish NECTA was a follow-up of an earlier move, in April 1971, when Tanzania Mainland pulled out of the East African Examinations Council (EAEC) to conduct her own examinations. Zanzibar pulled out of EAEC in 1970. Before the pull out, between 1968 and 1971, Tanzania sat for foreign Secondary School Examinations conducted jointly by the East African Syndicate, which before then were conducted by the Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate alone. The Examinations conducted by the Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate then were the School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate Examinations. The School Certificate Examinations was taken by the African Students for the first time in 1947 and that of the Higher School Certificate in 1960.
Summary of NECTA's History
After Tanzania Mainland had pulled out of the East African Examinations Council, in 1971 and before NECTA was established by Law, in 1973, the Curriculum and Examinations Section of the Ministry of Education was responsible for all examinations. With the establishment of NECTA, the Examinations became its responsibility in accordance with the law. The Curriculum continued to be under the Ministry of Education and the University College, Tanga until when it was taken over by the newly established, autonomous Institute of Curriculum Development (ICD) in 1975, which in 1993 was renamed as the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE).
Between 1972 and 1976 the first staff of NECTA were recruited, among them was Mr. P. P Gandye who was recruited in 1972 and later on in 1994 was appointed as Executive Secretary. The other staff members continued to be recruited and especially so when NECTA's premises moved from the Ministry of Education Headquarters to the present premises at Kijitonyama near Mwenge. Presently the number of NECTA's staff is more than 250.

School children pay special tribute to Lord Nelson - Friday, 16 October 2009
Schoolchildren will discover the history behind the Nelson monument – the historic landmark that's guided sailors safely to shore for two centuries – as part of Fort Nelson's Trafalgar Day commemorations on Wednesday, October 21.
Youngsters from Northern Junior School, in Portchester, will mark the 204th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar by laying flowers at 11am.
Horatio, Lord Nelson, has held a special place in local people's hearts for over 200 years – and his monument stands proudly on Portsdown Hill, opposite the Royal Armouries Museum at Fort Nelson. The monument was paid for by public subscription – including large donations by many of his men.
Royal Armouries' education officer Tony Parry said:
"Lord Nelson was truly loved by his own men. When he died, grown men were crying their hearts out. The monument was funded by public subscription and many sailors donated sums of money that were equal to a year's wages at the time.
"Portsdown Hill is an ideal place to locate the monument as it stands like a beacon which is visible in most weather conditions, even at night, and guides sailors safely into Portsmouth Harbour."
The Trafalgar Day service, held jointly with The Nelson Society, will be conducted by a Naval Chaplain from HMS Collingwood and will include a minute's silence, honouring the 204th anniversary of the Admiral's death at the Battle of Trafalgar. This year also marked the 251st anniversary of the birth of Lord Nelson on 29 September 1758.
Youngsters will also receive a talk from the Nelson Society's Jane Smith, who will explain the history of the monument and hand out information sheets.
They will then enjoy a programme of Trafalgar Day activities at the Fort, including craft sessions to make naval hats, and mock battles.
Meanwhile, the Royal Armouries is marking the day by using a uniformed crew of sailors to fire a recently restored 12-pounder gun, of the kind used on board HMS Victory.
As well as the gun firings at 12 noon and 3pm, the Fort will stage presentations marking the life of Lord Nelson, the Battle of Trafalgar and other great events in British Naval history.
Museum entry is free and there is a whole range of attractions throughout the day, designed to appeal to young and old alike.
Primary PR Ltd.
Tel: 07838 379599
Notes to editors
Reporters and photographers are welcome at the wreath laying ceremony at 11am (or at the craft sessions – please contact Primary PR to fix a time)
- The Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson houses the national collection of historic cannon and big guns. The museum houses one of the world's finest collections with over 350 cannon dating back over 600 years. The collection originated at HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
- The Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson also tells the story of the Palmerston Forts, built to protect Portsmouth from a feared French invasion in the 1860's.

Here we propose a psychological model of over-purchasing informed by animal foraging theory and make predictions about variables that predict over-purchasing by either exacerbating or mitigating the anticipation of future scarcity. These variables include additional scarcity cues (e.g. loss of income), distress (e.g. depression), psychological factors that draw attention to these cues (e.g. neuroticism) or to reassuring messages (eg. analytical reasoning) or which facilitate over-purchasing (e.g. income).
We tested our model in parallel nationally representative internet surveys of the adult general population conducted in the United Kingdom (UK: N = 2025) and the Republic of Ireland (RoI: N = 1041) 52 and 31 days after the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 were detected in the UK and RoI, respectively.
About three quarters of participants reported minimal over-purchasing. There was more over-purchasing in RoI vs UK and in urban vs rural areas. When over-purchasing occurred, in both countries it was observed across a wide range of product categories and was accounted for by a single latent factor. It was positively predicted by household income, the presence of children at home, psychological distress (depression, death anxiety), threat sensitivity (right wing authoritarianism) and mistrust of others (paranoia). Analytic reasoning ability had an inhibitory effect. Predictor variables accounted for 36% and 34% of the variance in over-purchasing in the UK and RoI respectively. With some caveats, the data supported our model and points to strategies to mitigate over-purchasing in future crises.

process it nor prevent access. The class's reason to be is "Store data". So make it store some data and leave it at that.

True. I suggested this in the answer above. However an object with data usually does something with the data, by [Information Expert](_URL_(object-oriented_design). – hiwaylon Sep 12 '12 at 12:10
I can't do that, because the class does a bit more than just storing data. One thing is that the getters should not just return the requested style of the current object. If the requested style equals NULL (or some other initialization value), the getter should return the value of the parent style, which should in turn return the value of its parent style if its value equals NULL, etc. So basically I need to use methods. – Frog Sep 12 '12 at 13:01
I smell an attribution list. I agree you should set format and get format, except I would use a list. A bit mask even if your attributes allow. Otherwise just keep an array of formatter objects which use IOC to format there field if possible. forgive me, I don't know c++
Public abstract class IFormatter
. public abstract void FormatText(TextField* fieldToFormat);
Public class BoldFormatter : IFormatter
Public class TextField
. public void AddFormatter(IFormatter* formatterToAdd)
. {...}
. public IFormatter[] GetFormatters()
. {...}
. public void Render()
. {
. foreach(IFormatter formatter in formatters)
. { formatter.FormatText(this); }

I find it a bit hard to understand what you're saying. Are you suggesting I create a class for every style property, and in the styles save a list of those styles, which I can look through? If so, wouldn't that be overkill? – Frog Sep 12 '12 at 13:10
You would never need to "look through" that list, this is where the dependency inversion principle comes in: You have to have logic somewhere that knows how to do each individual type of formatting, why not have each individual formatter class do this, and then the text field will just have a list of formatters which you add to or remove from, and when it needs to render it tells all it's formatters to go to town on it. No need to pay attention to what formatters are there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_inversion_principle – Jimmy Hoffa Sep 12 '12 at 13:56
I understand it! And it's actually a really smart idea! But wouldn't it be overkill for such a simple situation? – Frog Sep 12 '12 at 14:03
_USER_ Maybe? It depends on how many formatters you have, and what you define as "overkill"? That's why I prefaced to mention the opposite end solution which is the simplest: a bit mask. Unfortunately with a bit mask you need the formatter logic for each individual formatter all bundled together somewhere which parses that bit mask (same if you used any other const form factor that didn't encapsulate the logic for formatting). If you only have 3 or 4, then all you need is a single byte and some router method that pulls it apart at render time to identify which are there. Less extensible though. – Jimmy Hoffa Sep 12 '12 at 14:59
Okay, I understand it. Thank you for the diverse answer! – Frog Sep 12 '12 at 15:06

In statistics, we draw conclusions from data. But to get data, we need to be able to measure the variable(s) that we are interested in. Measuring can be very crude (say, a trait is absent or present) or rather sophisticated (the expression levels of large numbers of genes). In the social sciences or in medicine, in order to reach uniformity in measuring a particular condition and make results more comparable, a standard scale is often developed that everyone is using. But can we measure everything? Here is an unusual example of trying to measure the immeasurable:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder that leads to abdominal pain and cramping, changes in bowel movements, and other symptoms (PubMed). When trying to develop a drug for combating IBS, one way to measure its success is to look at stool consistency. You think that is immeasurable? In fact, there is a scale for measuring just that, called the Bristol stool scale, which classifies stool into seven categories. The following (graphic) picture explains the scale:
So, it seems, everything is measurable!

Adults with type 2 diabetes who are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder visit the hospital emergency department more frequently and spend more on hospitalization than those without such diagnoses, according to findings published in Diabetes Care.
"Anxiety disorders are serious. They cause extreme distress and harm people's abilities to live fulfilling lives," Esti Iturralde, PhD, a mental health researcher in the division of research at Kaiser Permanente Northern California in Oakland, told Endocrine Today. "Doctors who treat diabetes might miss the importance of anxiety disorders because these patients often do not appear 'sicker' in a medical sense—but we found that anxiety disorders contribute to problematic health care use that exposes patients to unnecessary medical risks and impacts the whole health care system."
Iturralde and colleagues searched for diagnoses of anxiety disorders such as obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD and agoraphobia along with diagnoses of depression in electronic health records of 143,573 adults (mean age, 64 years; 48.1% women) with type 2 diabetes who were members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California from 2008 to 2012. A database provided information on ED visit frequency and hospitalization costs in 2012. The researchers defined chronic visitation as three ED visits in each of the previous 3 years.
An anxiety disorder was diagnosed in 12.9% of the study population and 52.9% of those with an anxiety disorder were diagnosed with depression, according to the researchers. Of those with an anxiety disorder, 35.2% visited the ED at least once vs. 23.6% of those without an anxiety disorder (P.001). The rate at which a participant with anxiety would visit the ED was 27% higher compared with those without anxiety (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.27; 95% CI, 1.21-1.34), according to the researchers, who added that the rate at which a participant with depression would visit the ED was 13% higher vs. the rate for a participant without depression (IRR = 1.13; 95% CI, 1.09-1.18).
Chronic visitation was reported in 1.5% of those with anxiety disorders compared with 0.2% of those without such conditions (P.001), with the researchers noting that the risk for chronic visitation was more than double for those with anxiety (OR = 2.55; 95% CI, 1.9-3.44) and 1.66 times higher for those with depression (OR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.29-2.14). Iturralde added that "anxiety disorder was associated with 255% higher odds of visiting the emergency department multiple times a year for multiple years in a row."
Individuals with anxiety disorders spent an average of $5,790.45 on hospitalization in 2012 while those without such conditions spent an average of $4,105.89 (P.001). According to the researchers, being among the top 20% of spenders in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California system was 29% more likely for those with anxiety (OR = 1.29; 95% CI, 1.23-1.36) or depression (OR = 1.29; 95% CI, 1.24-1.34).
"Anxiety causes physiological symptoms that resemble physical symptoms in diabetes — so it may cause people to overtreat or undertreat their diabetes condition. Anxiety also causes people to engage in unhelpful behaviors, such as avoiding daily diabetes management tasks, or becoming 'burned out' through excessive worrying or even checking their blood sugars too often," Iturralde said. "Therefore, because the two problems are so intertwined, it makes sense for anxiety treatment to be integrated more closely with diabetes treatment." – by Phil Neuffer

John LeClerc Josephs, who is studying at The Curtin University of Technology, Bentley, Western Australia (Bachelor of Architecture, 4th Year), entered the Architects for Health's First Student Health Design Award (2007) with the following submission. For contact please email:
Western Australian Cancer Centre Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Nedlands, Perth, Western Australia
Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital is a large, progressive, fully accredited teaching hospital located on a 28 hectare medical campus adjacent to Kings Park in Nedlands, a scenic and central part of the city of Perth, Western Australia. The brief called for a new Western Australian Cancer Centre to be located on the west side of the existing hospital site. The addition would sit on existing car parking and green space and link internally to the existing hospital infrastructure. The brief called for a 12000 square metre development that encompassed a large number of clinic suites, offices, advanced medical technology equipment and rooms, social areas, waiting areas, and all required staff and patients services to run a cancer centre of world class caliber.
Ideology and Execution
Three main ideals were considered and applied to the design:
 1. To create quality architectural spaces in a hospital environment. Research into previous cancer centres revealed that brief requirements of space were often met in sacrifice of quality architectural spaces, such as those with natural light, ventilation and links to the outdoors – qualities proven beneficial to patient healthcare. In answer my design:
 1. Uses an exposed skeletal structural ceiling system between the tops of walls and floors to create horizontal lightwells for natural light into all staff and patient internal working spaces.
 2. Utilizes a central void space for natural light transmission, ventilation and the creation of unique internal views usually not experienced in central hospital spaces.
 3. The Ground Floor is lifted above the car park via a series of light columns on the face of the building to give the building a sense of structural lightness and added sensitivity to the site.
 4. The elevation of the floors via the skeletal structural ceiling adds an element of transparency to the building in elevation – not isolating external spaces surrounding the building.
 2. To understand the benefits of simple spatial design in a working hospital environment whilst using architectural techniques to break up the monotony of 'long corridor and box' arrangements. In answer my design:
 1. Shifted rooms in plan to break the line of the corridors and create negative space which could be utilized practically for storage or socially for waiting or interacting.
 2. Utilized the skeletal ceiling structure to shift the focal points of occupants away from the 'light at the end of the tunnel' to the intricacy of the ceiling.
 3. Created suitable rooms with transparent walls and windows along the hallways – the creation of a meandering eye.
 3. To initiate a 'green' feel to the building through its relationship to the outside, use of natural light and use of materials that are practical for cleavability yet are distant from traditional 'sterile' aesthetics. In answer my design:
 1. Lifts the structure above the natural ground level to clear the site for green space.
 2. Utilizes a rigid rectangular structure that would cater for the required internal size but allow 50% of the site to be landscaped. To meet the brief's spatial requirements of 12000 square metres, the structure would be 4 storeys high with a basement. The height was appropriate in the context of the site – matching the surrounding buildings whilst considering the impact on the neighbouring residential area.
 3. The creation of social void spaces, such as waiting rooms and cafes, with a strong connection to freed green spaces.

Network Slicing: Drivers, Challenges, Opportunities, and Key Use Cases
Tomorrow's networks are not just faster pipes; they are business enablers that can create services tailored to specific verticals. Telcos hope to become much more than simple connectivity providers in the B2B space, but current technology does not allow them to do so. This reason caused the concept of network slicing to come to life. It is becoming more important due to B2B verticals having a variety of use cases that will be addressed with 5G technology, and legacy networks are unable to handle these use cases.
Network slicing can be explained as: partitioning the network in smaller instances/slices, where each slice with unique configuration will serve to differentiate use case/cases. Broadly speaking, early pilots and trial deployments are expected to start in 2018, followed by the launch of 5G. The concept is indeed in the early development phase, and although there are quite a few single-vendor trials and demos on the market, the concept still needs years of development before mass market deployment.
This report discusses key opportunities, challenges, operator-vendor ecosystem, and value chain aspects of the network slicing market. The analysis of pioneering verticals and geographical regions is also discussed to anticipate the deployment rate of network slicing.

001884: Init classify function failed.
When tools such as Classify Raster or Inspect Training Samples are run, a function chain is set up internally that depends on specific inputs in the correct order. When these inputs are incorrect, or in the wrong order, function initialization fails.
Check that the tool inputs, such as rasters, band numbers, or bit depth, match the same inputs used in the classification training tools, and that the inputs are in the same order. The training tools produce an.ecd file (JSON) that can be viewed as a text file for verification of constant inputs in the training tools and the Classify Raster or Inspect Training Samples tool.


|| BAS LIFE || A brief history of wire wrapped jewellery
Wire wrapped jewellery and the technique that we use has been around forever! What BAS have done is brought it the present day, given a bit of a jooz, added our style and made it relevant for all our BAS Humans. The history is all rather interesting so we have summarised where our art came from in a brief history of wire wrapped jewellery. Sit back its thrilling!
It all started way back in Egyptian times where there was evidence found in tombs of the ancient pharaohs. It was also said to be found in amongst the pyramid treasures. Although there is some evidence that dates wire wrapped jewellery back as far as 1446 B.C.
There are some studies carried out by the British Museum that dates it back to the first Dynasty of Ur ( Don't worry, we had to google it too. ). We have extracted this piece of info from Wikipedia to explain it a bit better! It basically means that they found wire wrapped jewellery in the site where the oldest city ever dated sits. We think we got that right….
The First Dynasty of Ur was a 26th century-25th century BCE dynasty of rulers of the city of Ur in ancient Sumer.[1] It is part of the Early Dynastic period III of the History of Mesopotamia. It was preceded by the earlier First dynasty of Kishand First Dynasty of Uruk.[2]
picture taken from the British Museum archives
The unique art of wire wrapping has been alive for so long due to the simplicity of tools needed in the craft. There is no soldering ( although now a days people do) or casting, and is therefore an art that could be produced by ancient civilisations without the need for fire, electricity or modern day computers. The wire and the plyers do all the work, and the you let the fluidity of the natural stones you use or the wire shapes to create the design. Its what ultimately makes this such an interesting technique to use, and we are happy that we are continuing such an ancient art and catapulting it into modern day.
Black and Sigi are here to keep the craft alive and take it to another 1000years in the future!
Hope that helps understand where the art came from, and love it even more!

Interracial relationships around the world – black and white dating free
Eastern culture and interracial dating
Australia is a multicultural continent where dating someone special of a different ethnicity is no longer uncommon. They date people as individuals depending on whether they are great people and how they behave. They don't believe being specific about getting married to one's own racial or religious group, and thus why interracial marriages increased quite lots in past few years in Australia
The demography and the language of the country may contribute a barrier to interracial dating. People with high population of same race and ethnicity with considerably less number of foreigners and even lesser of those who can speak Japanese is a huge factor, why there is so little interracial dating in Japan. There aren't really enough white foreigners to make it a common situation. But there are still evidence of interracial dating between Japanese and some Asian people and African people too.
There are some strict reservations against interracial dating among communities in parts of south Asian countries, the parents of the couple would readily disown their children if they find them to be in such relationships and there is concept of at most cruelty called 'Honour killing', sacrificing their child for the sake of religion or culture still prevailing in suburbs of some south Asian countries. However, interracial relationships do exist around the Asian countries from ancient history until today. Relationships do exist between Asian and African people. The child born between these two races is considered Blasian. The minor population of Asian community in western world are also a part of interracial dating in that part of the world.
The central world
As like any other countries Africa does have some stereotypes about interracial relationships, dating beyond the black community is considered disrespect to their culture and ethnicity, but the history depicts higher population of mulatto throughout Africa mostly the results of interracial relationships between Arab and European men and black women. For the African community in US, due to the painful history of slavery and the taboos that accompanied the institution, most people still think in terms of black and white when it comes to interracial dating. In reality, black white dating and marriage happens less frequently than it does with other ethnic groups.
Europe as a whole is a multicultural place, with immigrant cultures included. The people are more open minded towards interracial acceptance. European countries are few among the top list accepting interracial dating and relationships.
The Western world
Interracial dating in the western world really is not what we expect it to be, there are still those who are opposed to interracial couples and there are communities that reject it entirely. People's strict adherence to their ethnicity and race, fear of accepting a mixture between culture, social and peer pressure and racial ideologies are still part of some western lifestyle that stands a strong barriers for interracial dating, the black and white dating is still a stigmatic issue. Nevertheless, the most common interracial relationships between American exist between Caucasians and Afro-Americans, the EuropeanAmericans and Asians, Afro American's and Spanish Americans, and rarely between AfroAmericans and Asians.
