Our place-based approach empowers rural leaders and communities to accelerate educational outcomes for all students by:
Addressing the program gap found in rural places to ensure students have equitable access to resources
Building the capacity of rural schools and communities to be data-driven and equity-focused
Aligning local, regional and national systems to ensure student success
The Rural Summit brings together teachers, principals, superintendents, higher education leaders, legislators, and nonprofit leaders to share ideas and strategies for ensuring that rural youth have the opportunity to enter school ready to learn and successfully transition from high school to college and career. Originally conceived as the Rural College Access and Success Summit, we have expanded our focus to include all points along the cradle-to-career path.
The Rural Library Network
The Rural Library Network is a cradle-to-career initiative that provides participants the opportunity to grow knowledge via online webinars and training in core principles of place-based work. It also offers a forum to grow relationships and connect with practitioners working in libraries across America's rural communities. Membership to the network is free.
Measuring Progress To Success
For each step along the cradle-to-career pathway, we track specific indicators to mark progress and to better understand what moves the dial for students and communities. The indicators below represent the current status in our area of intensive focus, the Kentucky Promise Zone. To learn more about these indicators and the impact that COVID-19 has had on student success in the region, see Our Impact page.
Join us on our journey to accelerate educational outcomes for all rural students
We seek partnerships in the following areas:
- With individuals and organizations to support our work in Appalachia and beyond
- With organizations seeking to implement a place-based model in their community
- With organizations interested in increasing their rural impact
- With policymakers and advocates who want to align policy and investments to better serve rural needs

The Essential Question that guided our projects' focus was:
Where do choreographers get ideas for dances?
Throughout the RW residency, students answered the essential question, "Where do choreographers get ideas for dances?" Students watched several RW professional dances in a virtual concert and many excerpts of RW previous choreography to learn about the guest artists. Students explored various ways to generate movement and create choreography. RW choreographed four unique dances stemming from diverse ideas for IFAA students. Each dance choreographed involved students contributing to the work by making artistic choices and answering additional essential questions, "What influences choice-making in creating choreography?" Students had in-depth discussions with the guest artists about, "How is a dance understood?" and listened to the artists speak of how they came up with the dance idea. Throughout creating the work, dancers worked deeply on manipulating space, time, energy to help the artists communicate the idea of the dance.
At the conclusion of the project, students responded to questions related to the identified Standards:
"I learned that really anything can be an idea for a dance. I learned that you can generate movement from a topic." —sixth-grade student
"I learned that as a dance artist, repetition can be fundamental in a dance and can help the audience connect to the choreography. I also learned that as a dance artist, having a motif is very important and will show up many times in different ways. Lastly, I learned that as a dance artist, adding surprising or unexpected movements to the choreography will make the choreography more interesting. I learned three things that will help me be college and career-ready. First, I learned that as a choreographer, your choreography should come from inspiration and inspiration can come from anywhere. Second, I learned that if you slightly soften your hinge joints you will have a wider range of motion to move around in space. Third, I learned that there are people who will inspire me and push me out of my comfort zone to do something different." —eighth-grade student
"I learned to trust the choreography and try to see the choreographer's vision." —seventh-grade student
RW teaching artists use a modern constructivist approach for students and teachers to learn about and participate in the art of dance. This residency accomplished having students participate in the Dance Artistic Processes of Creating, Performing, and Analyzing. Students learned that ideas for choreography can come from many places such as images, sounds, textures, properties of matter, personal experiences, words, colors, emotions, and from the basic elements of dance. Eight RW dance artists worked with 31 students for two weeks: 30 total hours of contact time. During the residency, IFAA was not allowed to have more than twenty people in a class, hold an assembly, so digital documentation/video sharing replaced in-person experiences. The remote residency with RW dance artists was very successful. The choreography was brought to multiple settings for the community, including performances totaling 700 in-person audience members and 500 plus virtual audience members. The arts are transformative even in a virtual setting. Embodied learning was rich through critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and imagination. RW teaching artists are trained to adapt and diversify teaching to meet all student needs across all ages.
RW is committed to furthering contemporary dance as an accessible and valued art form through performance and dance education that raises the standards, deepens the understanding, and promotes personal connections with dance. RW?s high standards were evident in RW's professionalism, preparation, and execution of teaching and learning. This residency was educational and therapeutic and afforded students a special experience with guest artists when many performances/residencies had been canceled. Having large, in-person audiences at the end of the school year performance and digital recordings, the art was shared with the greater community of West Ada School District and beyond. The formal dance concert programs included details of the artistic processes in artist statements to build audience dance literacy. My only regret is that the four arts elementary schools did not participate at all and missed the positive experience of building dance literacy. Due to the pandemic, only Idaho Fine Arts Academy (IFAA), 6-12 grade school, participated in the residency virtually. The other four K-5 arts schools decided not to participate in the residency because they did not know how the digital residency would work with students, and they were overwhelmed with remote/hybrid learning due to the pandemic. IFAA asked for permission to continue the residency without the elementary schools.

In the analyses, it was found that more samples of lipid compounds were present in blood samples from men who consumed more eggs.
image creditthespruceeats.com
According to a new study by the University of Eastern Finland, the average daily intake of one egg increases the number of circulating metabolites that are associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. The study was published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research.
Egg is one of the most controversial foods. Its eating has traditionally been called for to limit the amount of cholesterol, but the egg also has an abundance of bioactive compounds with beneficial effects on the body's functions. Thus, it is difficult to deduce the health effects of an egg solely on the basis of its cholesterol content.
The research team has previously reported that an average of one egg per day was combined with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged eastern Finnish men in coronary heart disease risk material. - The purpose of the latest study was to search for metabolites that could explain the connection found through metabolic analysis. Metabolomics analysis provides comprehensive information on, for example, blood sample compounds, says younger researcher Stefania Noerman.
In the analyses, it was found that more samples of lipid compounds were present in blood samples from men who consumed more eggs. The same compounds were also found in men who did not develop type 2 diabetes. In addition, the study team found that several blood-measured compounds, such as the amino acid tyrosine already detected in previous studies, predicted an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
The study provides indications of mechanisms that can at least partially explain the relationship between egg eating and the lower risk of type 2 diabetes in this study. However, before we can make more definite conclusions about the effects of egg eating on the body, more cellular studies and experimental human studies using advanced research methods, such as metabolomics, are needed, says Noerman.

Is it possible that being married has an impact on the quality of your health? Taking it a step further, does a happy marriage actually result in better health?
The answer, according to several studies, is a resounding "yes!" to both questions. Simply being married can have a few positive benefits for our overall health, and it's not hard to see why.
The personal connection that exists within a marriage offers a social bond that can have a positive impact on your health, namely in the form of support. This manifests itself in two ways:
1. When you're married, you're less likely to engage in risky behavior. If you are considering your spouse's wellbeing, you may think twice about taking a risk or doing something dangerous. Simply thinking about the other person makes you less likely to put your own health in jeopardy.
2. Married couples can act as a "health helper" for one another. This means reinforcing healthy behaviors like diet and exercise regimens, as well as acting as a voice of reason when it's time to seek medical attention or change unhealthy behavior. Having each other to count on means that two minds are looking after the health of each person, and one of them has the benefit of outside perspective. Research also indicates that married people are more likely to follow their doctor's advice.
Just having someone you love in your life is a reason to stay on top of your health, and the studies show that people tend to do just that, whether they know it or not!
Now, what about the level of happiness in a marriage? Many of these same studies looked at the marital satisfaction as a matter of health, and it turns out that being in an unhealthy relationship can have negative impacts on your health as well.
Couples who argue constantly, who treat one another unfairly or with malice, tend to have much higher stress levels than couples in happy marriages, and this means a higher risk of heart disease and reduced immune system function.
An unhealthy relationship can also lead to depression, which in turn can cause unhealthy lifestyle choices. Unhappy marriages can also lead to obesity and hypertension, as well as the host of health problems that accompany those conditions.
This shows that it pays to work on your marriage to make it the happiest it can be, not just for the relationship itself, but for your own health as well!
When you're happier, you tend to be healthier, and having a supportive, connected spouse will only help you both stay that way. Build a healthy, happy marriage and it will help you lead a healthy, happy life!
Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!
Dr. Dana and Amy

Giving life. Meaning.
Minyan Shelanu returns hundreds of teens and
young adults to a life worth living WATCH OUR VIDEO
It takes a village to save a child. Minyan Shelanu is that village.
Minyan Shelanu was born in response to Lakewood's growing community of disenchanted and troubled teenagers. After dropping out of school, many would deteriorate socially, emotionally and spiritually, engaging in negative behaviors such as substance abuse, promiscuity and crime, sometimes culminating in juvenile detention.
Since inception, Minyan Shelanu has always been about life after the street. As a low-profile yet highly effective synagogue and social center, we have achieved remarkable, lifesaving results. It began as a warm, nonjudgmental haven for those underserved by the rigid community model, and soon turned into a rallying point for troubled teens desperate for a bit of love, a kind word and a surrogate home.
Rabbinical luminaries and crisis professionals have come to revere Minyan Shelanu for the monumental power to save lives. Thanks to the organic connections our members form with our Rav and mentors, our minyan has corrected course for hundreds of kids, setting them on path of Yeshiva, career, marriage and lifelong wellness.
1,271 lives made worth living.
Safety first, at last
Our primary focus is to provide a nonjudgmental, supportive safe haven for on-the-street kids, where they can always feel at home, physically and emotionally.
Gainful activity and laid back recreation is provided, particularly during evening hours, creating informal opportunities for individualized connection.
as it happens
Our model has proved to organically administer guidance and support that eventually weans kids away from emptiness towards meaningful living.
Rabbi Chaim Abadi:Foundations first
A successful real estate developer and ordained Rabbi, Chaim's appeal lies in his unpretentiousness and unconditional love for every person. He feels the pain of these troubled teens, many of which are victims of abuse. His heart is open to them, and they instinctively recognize him as a trustworthy father figure. Chaim is also extraordinarily perceptive to youths' emotional, social and spiritual needs.
Need a safe space?

The Effect of Thermal Processing Schedules and Unit Operations on the Quality of Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Meat
The Effect of Thermal Processing Schedules and Unit Operations on the Quality of Blue Crab (Callinectes sapudis) Meat
The effects of initial thermal processing, plant sanitation, and employee habits on the microbiological quality of blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) meat were determined in a commercial crab processing facility. Thermal processing was evaluated at 5, 7, and 8 minutes at 250?F for the destruction of microorganisms, including Listeria monocytogenes. F-values calculated indicated a sufficient reduction of L. monocytogenes at each processing time. Fresh picked crab meat was evaluated for microbial levels when exposed to ambient temperatures over a four hour period. It was found that time and temperature did not influence the microbial populations significantly except in the fourth hour. Plant sanitation was evaluated based on levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and microbial counts. Areas found to have high levels of ATP typically had low microbial counts, thus suggesting that crab meat residual was the problem. The presence of Listeria species in the plant was determined using a commercial polyclonal antibody test. Listeria species were found under picking tables, on cooler doors, employees aprons, and on several employees hands. In a laboratory setting, an automated hand wash was compared with a manual hand wash for the removal of Listeria innocua, as a model for Listeria monocytogenes. It was found that a manual hand wash of 15 seconds was superior to an equal time automated wash. The microbial quality of crab meat was found to be affected by daily plant procedures, and could be changed by modifying procedures.

Acidity increases with increasing s character. propane is sp3 hybridized, propene is sp2 hybridized, propyne is sp hybridized.
Is propane most acidic?
The proton on ethanol is the most acidic proton. Spartan calculations indicate that this proton has the largest positive electrostatic potential suggesting that it is the most acidic proton. It is followed by cyclopropane and propane is the least acidic of the three.
Is propene a strong acid?
the right ans is propene,bcoz evey one kNkws that a weak acid has strong conjugatef base. so here we know propeme is weak acid as compared to propyne, bcoz acidity decreases with decreasing s cheracter.
Is propene acidic or basic?
Acetylene is more Acidic than propene, as propene have a CH3 group attached to sp-hybridized C atom so it provide +I effect & hence protonation is easy in acetylene than propene.
Is c2h4 more acidic than water?
Therefore, we can conclude that R-OH is a weaker acid that water. The correct order is: Ethyne> Ethene >Ethane. This can be explained with the Hydrogen donating tendency of hydrocarbon, carbon which is more electronegative will create high positive charge on hydrogen, hence that hydrocarbon will me most acidic.
Is phenol more acidic than water?
Hence, phenol is more acidic than water.
Is Ethanoic acid a vinegar?
Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is a clear colourless liquid which has a pungent, vinegar-like odour.
Which is more acidic Ethyne or propyne?
Ethyne is more acidic than propyne. in propyne methyl group is present which cause + I effect. due to the + I effect methyl group more electron density is present near triple bond hence the release of proton from propyne is difficult than from ethyne.
Which is more acidic propene or propyne?
The order of increasing acidity is, propane < propene < propyne < water.
Are propane and cyclopropane isomers?
Answer: No cyclopropane is not the isomer of propane(C3H8). Propane has no isomer. it is because in an isomer the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms are same.
Why is propene more reactive than propane?
There are ten single bonds in propane, eight between carbon and hydrogen atoms, and two between carbon atoms. In contrast, there are seven single bonds, six between carbon and hydrogen atoms and one between carbon atoms. … On the other hand, propene is more reactive due to the presence of weak pi bonds.
Is propylene heavier than propane?
The following figures compare the relative vapor density of fuel gases with that of air: Natural Gas 0.55 LIGHTER than Air Acetylene 0.91 Air 1.00 Propylene 1.42 MAPP* 1.48 HEAVIER than Air Propane 1.56 Butane 2.05 It is important to note that acetylene and natural gas being lighter than air will rise in air.

National Dog Biscuit Day
National Dog Biscuit Day
National Dog Biscuit Day is nothing to turn your nose up at. After all, if it wasn't for this national day, your dog may not know "biscuits or "treats" as he knows them today. National Dog Biscuit Day is celebrated annually on February 23rd
Dog biscuits were not always called "biscuits". In fact, way back in the 1800's, biscuits or treats as we now know them, were referred to as dog bread. The name came to fruition due to the fact that dogs were indeed served bread. Not just any bread though, dogs were given the bread that was deemed not edible for human consumption. Day old, hard, moldy ….well, you get the picture. So, the bread was quite literally thrown to the dogs! They took what they could get, but one very important person came along that would change what was thrown to the dogs altogether.
"Necessity is the mother of invention" ~ Plato
James Pratt created the very first dog biscuit after a sad sight on a fateful trip to England. It all began in the middle of the 1800's. He saw the suffering of stray dogs in search of any old scraps of left of food. These poor dogs were literally scavengers. James Pratt was compelled to created edible, made for consumption cake-like biscuits. These biscuits were made of meat, grains and vegetables. He called these early biscuits "Meat Fibrine Cakes". He began selling these cakes to Englishmen for dogs, specifically sporting dogs. He then began to market his cakes at dog shows in America. Interestingly enough his biscuits dog cakes were given to army dogs during World War I. Now, the bone shaped biscuits that dogs have come to know love, milk bones, were created in 1907. Milk Bone was eventually bought out by Nabisco in 1931 and subsequently taken over by Genera Mills in 1950.
The Biscuit Industry has Exploded
Now more than ever, the market for dog biscuits has exploded. Dogs everywhere are begging for more and their pet parents are giving right in! Varieties of dog biscuits exist for every possible reason and taste bud. Every texture and every flavor can be found in pet shops across the world, but why?
Most domesticated dogs no longer have to scavenge for "bread" or "biscuits", but present day biscuits, or treats, are used in a variety of ways.
 1. Chewing is a natural way for dogs to get their energy out. Many treats are made specifically to keep your dog occupied and focused for a period of time. We all have experienced just what happens when a dog becomes bored! He will find something to chew on and it's usually not one of his own belongings.
 2. Similarly, chewing does mimic the brushing action of a tooth brush. This means your dog can chew on a treat and have his teeth cleaned at the exact same time. Two for the price of one! These treats are specifically marketed as dental chews although, many treats or chews can achieve the very same result.
 3. Dog treats of biscuits are also used for training. Pet parents everywhere learn early on the power of their pet's favorite treat. Most dogs will do exactly as you say if they know that the potential for a treat exists. Learning basic commands and tricks all of a sudden becomes relevant for a dog that has experienced receiving treats as a reward!
 4. Just because! If you have never given your dog a treat just because he's cute and you love him more than just about anything else then, well, you're lying! Just as our dog openly expresses his love to us, we do our best to do the same and often time that means giving treats, toys, and snuggles "just because". The only downfall with this is that some dogs end up a little too pudgy for their own good. Moderation is key!
How will you celebrate National Dog Biscuit Day this year?
Why not celebrate by giving a nod to Mr. James Pratt? Dogs in need everywhere would love a good treat. Reach out to your favorite shelter, rescue or pet sitter and donate treats. Often times in our effort to donate, we always send things that dogs need. Why not add treats to that list because most dogs in shelter or rescue situations could use a little boost and what a great way to do so.
After you donate, why not try your hand at baking just like James Pratt. You won't need to start from "scratch" either (no pun intended). Treat recipes can be found all over the internet and in book stores these days. Many recipes are easy to whip up and require only a few ingredients. It doesn't get much easier. In fact, many treat recipes are "no bake". Just mix the ingredients and freeze or refrigerate. Well, what are you waiting for?
We hope you never look at dog treats the same again! Now, go give your dog a treat!

39.12 Faces
One way to represent a face is as a property list of attributes, like (:foreground "red" :weight bold). Such a list is called an anonymous face. For example, you can assign an anonymous face as the value of the face text property, and Emacs will display the underlying text with the specified attributes. See Special Properties.
More commonly, a face is referred to via a face name: a Lisp symbol associated with a set of face attributes22. Named faces are defined using the defface macro (see Defining Faces). Emacs comes with several standard named faces (see Basic Faces).
Some parts of Emacs require named faces (e.g., the functions documented in Attribute Functions). Unless otherwise stated, we will use the term face to refer only to named faces.
Function: facep object
This function returns a non-nil value if object is a named face: a Lisp symbol or string which serves as a face name. Otherwise, it returns nil.
For backward compatibility, you can also use a string to specify a face name; that is equivalent to a Lisp symbol with the same name.

Twice a month, experts at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture answer your questions in a column called….
This month's question:
For how long have humans been living in Washington State?
Humans have inhabited Washington State for at least the past 13,000 years. This is based on archaeological material directly dated using radiocarbon techniques. The earliest evidence for human presence in North America, however, comes from an archaeological site just south of us in Paisley, Oregon. There, archaeologists identified fossilized human poop (known as coprolites) that date to 14,100 years ago.
The presence of Clovis points in Washington State suggests that the first people who entered North America passed through this region. Clovis is a particular type of projectile point, named for the town in New Mexico where they were first discovered. They are fluted spear points with an average length of about 7 to 10 cm long and typically date from about 13,000 to 12,700 years ago. Washington State contains one of the best-known Clovis caches in North America – the East Wentachee site. Over forty Clovis artifacts were recovered at that site, including the largest Clovis points ever found – 21 cm long and 6 cm wide! Clovis points have also been found in Cle Elum, the Cascade Mountains, along the Columbia River, Whidbey Island, and just south of Seattle. You can see the Clovis artifacts from East Wenatchee in the Burke's Life and Times of Washington State exhibit.
Other archaeological sites around the state indicate humans have been here for many thousands of years. The Marmes Rockshelter site in southeastern Washington, for example, dates to 13,000 years ago. The discovery of the ancient skeletal remains known as "Kennewick Man" or "The Ancient One" provides evidence of human presence along the Columbia River around 10,500 years ago.
Closer to home, the West Point site at Discovery Park documents an entire village that existed about 4,500 years ago. The contemporary ancestors of the West Point site include members of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, the Suquamish Tribe, and the Tulalip Tribes.

Algorithm to clone a tree is quite easy, we can do pre-order traversal for that. Is there an efficient algorithm to clone a graph?
I tried a similar approach, and concluded we need to maintain a hash-map of nodes already added in the new graph, else there will be duplication of nodes, since one node can have many parents.

modified bfs/dfs where nodes are copied when they are marked as "visited"? – Oren Jan 26 '13 at 12:00
Depends heavily on the data-structure. – Zeta Jan 26 '13 at 12:11

_USER_ Assuming graph is represented as Adjacency Matrix – Amit Jan 26 '13 at 12:29
_USER_ DFS/BFS with flag in original graph will help me to not visit the node again. But in the new graph i do want a link between the current node and a node already added in the graph. Since the already added node has more than one parents. Think of it as some social network graph where in you will have mutual friends. – Amit Jan 26 '13 at 12:32

It suffices to do a depth first search and copy each node as it's visited. As you say, you need some way of mapping nodes in the original graph to corresponding copies so that copies of cycle edges can be connected correctly.
This map also suffices to remember nodes already visited in the DFS.
So in Java you'd have something like:
class Node {
 // Contents of node...
 Data data;
 //... member declarations like array of adjacent nodes
 final ArrayList children = new ArrayList<>();
 // Recursive graph walker for copying, not called by others.
 private Node deepCloneImpl(Map copies) {
 Node copy = copies.get(this);
 if (copy == null) {
 copy = new Node(data);
 // Map the new node _before_ copying children.
 copies.put(this, copy);
 for (Node child : children)
 return copy;
 public Node deepClone() {
 return deepCloneImpl(new HashMap());
A different approach is to put an additional field in each node that points to the copy if there is one and is null otherwise. This merely implements the map by another method. But it requires two passes over the graph: one to make the copy and another to clear these map fields for future re-use.

Your hash map approach seems viable if you had some quick way of uniquely identifying every node.
Otherwise, you would be best off if you:
 1. used data-structure to store graph that allows you to store "is duplicated" unique flag directly in every node (for example, 0 not duplicated, 1 to numberOfNodes for duplicated nodes),
 2. traversed nodes (via BFS, DFS) taking care of the already duplicated nodes and reconstructing all connections from the starting graph.
Both your starting graph and finishing graph should have corresponding unique "is duplicated" flag in every node, so you are able to reconstruct connections from starting graph properly. Of course, you could use "is duplicated" flag and "unique identifier" as separate variables.

As you copy nodes from the source graph, place each node in a map (thus numbering the nodes from 1 to N).
As you paste nodes in the destination graph, place each node in a map (again numbering from 1 to N, but with mapping in reverse direction for reasons that will be clear soon).
When you find a backlink in the source graph, you can map that backlinked "source copy" node to an integer i using the first map. Next, you use the second map to lookup the integer i and find the "destination copy" node which needs to have the same backlink created.

I just realized this is pretty much the same answer Gene posted above, but with the Node<->Node map exploded into two maps. Oh well. :-) – The111 Aug 10 '13 at 0:24

Graph and digraph embedding problems.
This thesis is a study of the symmetry of graphs and digraphs by considering certain homogeneous embedding requirements. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the chapters that follow. In Chapter 2 we present a brief survey of the main results and some new results in framing number theory. In Chapter 3, the notions of frames and framing numbers is adapted to digraphs. A digraph D is homogeneously embedded in a digraph H if for each vertex x of D and each vertex y of H, there exists an embedding of D in H as an induced subdigraph with x at y. A digraph F of minimum order in which D can be homogeneously embedded is called a frame of D and the order of F is called the framing number of D. We show that that every digraph has at least one frame and, consequently, that the framing number of a digraph is a well defined concept. Several results involving the framing number of graphs and digraphs then follow. Analogous problems to those considered for graphs are considered for digraphs. In Chapter 4, the notions of edge frames and edge framing numbers are studied. A nonempty graph G is said to be edge homogeneously embedded in a graph H if for each edge e of G and each edge f of H, there is an edge isomorphism between G and a vertex induced subgraph of H which sends e to f. A graph F of minimum size in which G can be edge homogeneously embedded is called an edge frame of G and the size of F is called the edge framing number efr(G) of G. We also say that G is edge framed by F. Several results involving edge frames and edge framing numbers of graphs are presented. For graphs G1 and G2, the framing number fr(G1, G2 ) (edge framing number ef r(GI, G2 )) of G1 and G2 is defined as the minimum order (size, respectively) of a graph F such that Gj (i = 1,2) can be homogeneously embedded in F. In Chapter 5 we study edge framing numbers and framing number for pairs of cycles. We also investigate the framing number of pairs of directed cycles.


corticatization love
Sorry, no definitions found.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Sorry, no example sentences found.
 - This neologism could be murated from cortication, which means "having a cortex." Such a definition would fit the context of the text in which the word appears in Infinite Jest.
 On the other hand, this word also bears striking similarity to corticalization, which, while the context does not bear out its definition, could still be a significant connection, given DFW's penchant for making such connections.

Tour tires are motorcycle tires, which are long lasting in spite of sporty driving. This is a big challenge because normally when the tires are highly stressed, for example by rapid stops over and over again, they wear off quickly. But few motorcyclists refuse to fully utilize the capabilities of their machine. So they choose Sport Touring Motorcycle Tires - Radial tires are so popular, that their durability is higher than that of conventional Diagonal tires. The wet grip and cornering ability are better - qualities that are a good buying criteria for the Tour athletes. Therefore 123tyre.ie offers a wide range of sport touring radial motorcycle tires.
The steel cord filaments of the tires carcass plies are radially arranged. The cords are laid in Direction of the Tyre's movement in the right Wimkel in the carcass. Directly under the tread of the radial motorcycle tire is a stable layer that leads around like a belt, which is why they are also called Belt tires called. They are now used in most motorcycles and cars.


Laundry and Ironing Jobs
Doing laundry typically refers to the washing of clothing and other textiles. Laundry processes are usually done in a laundry or utility room.
A stand-alone business that contains washing and drying machines is called a launderette or laundromat. Items that cannot be cleaned in a washing machine are often dry-cleaned instead. Dry cleaning involves the cleaning of a material using a chemical solvent instead of water. The modern dry cleaning process was developed and patented by Thomas L. Jennings.
Ironing as opposed to pressing or steaming is the running of an iron over a fabric to remove all the creases. This makes items look professional and presentable. Steaming can be used on items too easily damaged to use an iron on.
In the current, modern era of both parents working, time can be scarce in regards to looking after the home. As such, laundry and ironing businesses can profit from taking away this time-consuming task. Meanwhile, larger corporations such as hotel chains require laundry and ironing services to provide a high quality experience for their customers.

Temple of Confucius in Beijing, Kong Miao

Temple of Confucius in Beijing
Located on Guozijian Street inside Anding Gate, the Temple of Confucius in Beijing is the place where people paid homage to Confucius during the Yuan Dynasty (_PHONE_), Ming Dynasty (_PHONE_) and Qing Dynasty (_PHONE_). Its neighbor in the west is Beijing Imperial Academy (Guozijian), which was the institute of the highest education well preserved in China.
It was initially built in 1302 and additions were made during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It has a total area of 22,000 square meters (5.4 acres). It is the second largest temple constructed for Confucius, the greatest thinker and educationalist in ancient China, ranking only behind the Temple of Confucius in Qufu, Shandong Province.
This temple consists of four courtyards. The main structures include Xianshi Gate (Gate of the First Teacher), Dacheng Gate (Gate of Great Accomplishment), Dacheng Hall (Hall of Great Accomplishment) and Chongshengci (Worship Hall). Dacheng Hall is the main building in the temple, where the memorial ceremony for the sage was often held. Inside the temple one can see that 198 stone tablets are positioned on either side of the front courtyard, containing 51,624 names of Jinshi (the advanced scholars) of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Also 14 stone stele pavilions of the Ming and Qing dynasties hold the precious historical information of ancient China.

One item of note is the 700-year-old Chujian Bai (Touch Evil Cypress) in the temple. Its name is associated with an ancient legend. During the Ming Dynasty, one day the superior official-Yan Song came to worship the sage on behalf of the emperor. When he was passing by the cypress, one of the branches of the tree took his hat off. Since Yan Song was a treacherous official, people have thought the old tree could distinguish between good and evil people. Hence its name.
In the temple, you can also find remarkable pictures like two flying dragons playing a pearl among clouds, which are believed to be used only in the imperial palaces because dragon stands for emperor in ancient China. From those, it is easy to imagine the importance of this temple in the feudal society of China.

Scrubbing Sensitive Data
As with any third-party service it's important to understand what data is being sent to Sentry, and where relevant ensure sensitive data either never reaches the Sentry servers, or at the very least it doesn't get stored.
These are some great examples for data scrubbing that every company should think about:
 - PII (Personally Identifiable Information) such as a user's name or email address, which post-GDPR should be on every company's mind.
 - Authentication credentials, like your AWS password or key.
 - Confidential IP (Intellectual Property), such as your favorite color, or your upcoming plans for world domination.
We offer the following options depending on your legal and operational needs:
 - filtering or scrubbing sensitive data within the SDK, so that data is not sent to Sentry. Different SDKs have different capabilities, and configuration changes require a redeployment of your application.
 - configuring server-side scrubbing to ensure Sentry does not store data. Configuration changes are done in the Sentry UI and apply immediately for new events.
 - running a local Relay on your own server between the SDK and Sentry, so that data is not sent to Sentry while configuration can still be applied without deploying.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Our newer SDKs do not purposefully send PII to stay on the safe side. This behavior is controlled by an option called send-default-pii.
Turning this option on is required for certain features in Sentry to work, but also means you will need to be even more careful about what data is being sent to Sentry (using the options below).
If you do not wish to use the default PII behavior, you can also choose to identify users in a more controlled manner, using our user identity context.
Scrubbing Data
SDKs provide a before-send hook, which is invoked before an event is sent and can be used to modify event data to remove sensitive information. Using before-send in the SDKs to scrub any data before it is sent is the recommended scrubbing approach, so sensitive data never leaves the local environment.
In Python a function can be used to modify the event or return a completely new one. If you return None, the event will be discarded.
import sentry_sdk
def strip_sensitive_data(event, hint):
 # modify event here
 return event
There's a few areas you should consider that sensitive data may appear:
 - Stack-locals → some SDKs (Python + PHP), will pick up variable values within the stacktrace. This can be scrubbed or disabled altogether, if necessary
 - Breadcrumbs → some SDKs (for example, JavaScript, Java logging integrations) will pick up previously executed log statements. Do not log PII if using this feature and including log statements as breadcrumbs in the event. Some backend SDKs will surface DB queries which may need to be scrubbed
 - User context → automated behavior is controlled via send-default-pii
 - HTTP context → query strings may be picked up in some frameworks as part of the HTTP request context
For more details, see Filtering Events.
Contextual information
Instead of sending confidential information in plaintext, considering hashing it:
Sentry.setTag("birthday", checksumOrHash("08/12/1990"));
This will allow you to correlate it within internal systems if needed, but keep it confidential from Sentry.
User details
Your organization may determine that emails are not considered confidential, but if they are, consider instead sending your internal identifier:
Sentry.setUser({ id: });
// or
Sentry.setUser({ username: user.username });
Doing this will ensure you still benefit from user-impact related features.
Logging integrations
As a best practice you should always avoid logging confidential information. If you have legacy systems you need to work around, consider the following:
 - Anonymize the confidential information within the log statements (for example, swap out email addresses -> for internal identifiers)
 - Use beforeBreadcrumb to filter it out from breadcrumbs before it is attached
 - Disable logging breadcrumb integration (for example, as described here)

The first public park within the city limits of Seattle was Denny Park - a gift to the city by David T. Denny in 1884.
In 1887, the Board of Park Commissioners was established to oversee development of the Seattle park system.
Seattle Parks Commissioners hired the famed Olmsted Brothers landscape
architecture firm in 1903 to design a comprehensive system of parks
and boulevards for the city. The Olmsted Plan for Seattles parks
spurred the early development of the Seattle park system and has been
the basis of our modern day park system.

A novel wavelet-based algorithm for real-time detection of epileptic seizures using scalp EEG is proposed. In a moving-window analysis, the EEG from each channel is decomposed by wavelet packet transform. Using wavelet coefficients from seizure and nonseizure references, a patient-specific measure is developed to quantify the separation between seizure and nonseizure states for the frequency range of 1-30 Hz. Utilizing this measure, a frequency band representing the maximum separation between the two states is determined and employed to develop a normalized index, called combined seizure index (CSI). CSI is derived for each epoch of every EEG channel based on both rhythmicity and relative energy of that epoch as well as consistency among different channels. Increasing significantly during ictal states, CSI is inspected using one-sided cumulative sum test to generate proper channel alarms. Analyzing alarms from all channels, a seizure alarm is finally generated. The algorithm was tested on scalp EEG recordings from 14 patients, totaling 75.8 h with 63 seizures. Results revealed a high sensitivity of 90.5%, a false detection rate of 0.51 h-1 and a median detection delay of 7 s. The algorithm could also lateralize the focus side for patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

This paper proposes that "magic strategies" involving multiple scales and multiple systems will be effective in managing complex health and social problems.
AUTHORS: Rodrick Wallace; Deborah Wallace.
PUBLISHED: PeerJ, 2013.
A survey of the cultural psychology and related literatures suggests that Western biomedicine's fascination with atomistic, individual-oriented, interventions is a cultural artifact that may have little consonance with complex, subtle, multiscale, multilevel, social, ecological, or biological realities. Other cultural traditions may, in fact, view atomistic strategies as inherently unreal. A contrary perspective – similar to that of health promotion – implies that the most effective medical or public health interventions must be analogously patterned across scale and level of organization: 'magic strategies' will almost always be synergistically, and often emergently, more effective than 'magic bullets'. The result can be formally derived in a relatively straightforward manner using an adaptation of the Black-Scholes econometric model applied to the metabolic cost of bioregulation under uncertainty. Multifactorial interventions focused at the human 'keystone' ecosystem level of mesoscale social and geographic groupings may be particularly effective.

Convert Pinches of Salt to Smidgens
Enter the salt volume in pinches below to get the value converted to smidgens.
How to Convert Pinches to Smidgens
To convert a pinch measurement to a smidgen measurement, multiply the salt volume by the conversion ratio. One pinch of salt is equal to 2 smidgens, so use this simple formula to convert:
The salt volume in smidgens is equal to the pinches multiplied by 2.
Pinches and smidgens are both units used to measure salt volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
A pinch is a small unit used in cooking, typically used to measure salt and other spices when seasoning. One pinch is equal to the amount of seasoning that can be taken between your thumb and finger, or 1/2 of a dash. The pinch is a rough measurement, but is commonly considered to be equal to 1/16 of a teaspoon.
A smidgen is a very small unit used in cooking, most often used to measure salt and seasonings. One smidgen is equal to 1/2 of a pinch, which is the amount of seasoning that you can "pinch" between your thumb and finger. Although the smidgen is considered a rough measurement, it is generally accepted to be equal to 1/32 of a teaspoon.

Electrical Outlet and Voltage Information for Yemen
Yemen is located in the Arabian Peninsula and people who want to visit this country must know some basic information before going there. In using electronic gadgets and appliances, a tourist in Yemen should know the standard voltage and the types of electrical outlet and gadget present. In Yemen, the standard voltage is 220-240 volts with a frequency of 50Hz while the primary types of electrical outlet and plug are the Type A, Type D, and Type G.
In addition to the information about the standard voltage, electrical outlet, and plug, a tourist in Yemen should also prepare adapters and voltage converters. Adapters are used when the shape of the plug is not compatible with the shape of the electrical outlet present in Yemen. There are cases wherein different types of plugs are used together with an incompatible electrical outlet in Yemen and these can cause problems like damaged electronic gadgets and appliances as well as fire. There are particular adapters designed for specific plugs although there is also the universal adapter that could be used by all in Yemen. Aside from the adapters, there are also voltage converters that are used when the voltage of the electronic gadget or appliance is not compatible with the electrical outlet present in Yemen. Examples of voltage converters ideal in Yemen are network-resistor converter, step-up and step-down transformer, and combination voltage converters.
Type A NEMA 1-15 / JIS C 8303 North American (Non-grounded and Non-polarized) Plug, Electrical Outlet, and Adapter
The new design of the NEMA 1-15 changed so much that it will not fit in the old type of NEMA 1-15 electrical outlet in Yemen. With the NEMA 1-15 adapter, the receptacle end will accept any standard household plug in Yemen, aside from the Type M South African SABS1661 plug, which is also known as the Old British BS-546 Large plug. The blades of this adapter are 6.4mm long, 1.5mm thick, and are spaced 12.7mm apart. The NEMA 1-15 plug is also non-polarized and non-grounded which is very important. The NEMA 1-15 is a flat blade attachment plug that uses two flat parallel pins or blades. Older designs allow the blades to be inserted either way; however, contemporary NEMA 1-15 plugs in Yemen are designed with the neutral blade wider than the live blade allowing just one way of plugging and ensuring that the polarized plug is inserted appropriately into the electrical outlet. The NEMA 1-15 is mostly found in North America and in the east coast of South America as well as in other countries like Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This is used for smaller devices that do not really need a ground connection. The NEMA 1-15 is also known as the Type A North American/Japanese 2-blade Electrical adapter plug and electrical outlet. It also has the technical name North American 15 A/125 V ungrounded.
Although the NEMA 1-15 looks similar to the plugs of the U.S. and Canada and the appliance and electronic gadgets might be manufactured in the said countries, an adapter might still be needed because of the grounding and polarization requirements in Yemen.
In the NEMA 1-15 plug and electrical outlet, grounding is done by the third, round pin located beneath the two vertical blades on the plug. On the other hand, polarization is done by the left vertical blade being taller than the right one. If the plug does have grounding or polarization and the electrical socket does not have one, it would be physically impossible to insert the plug into the electrical socket. If this happens to a tourist in Yemen and there is also no adapter present, that person might not be able to use his or her electronic gadgets and appliances. There is also another electrical outlet that is commonly used in Japan, the JIS X 8303 Class II (Japanese 15 A/100 V ungrounded) which is similar to the NEMA 1-15, the only difference from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is the stricter dimensional requirements for the plug housing, marking, and mandatory testing and approval.
Type D Indian BS-546 Adapter Plug and Electrical Outlet
The receptacle end of this Type D Indian BS-546 plug is also compatible with common household plugs except the Type M South African SABS1661 (Old British BS-546 Large) plug. In this Type D Indian BS-546 Plug Adapter, the live and neutral pins are 5mm in diameter, spaced 22mm apart, and the grounding pin is 7mm in diameter with the plug being polarized and grounded. It is an old British standard electrical outlet which is still the primary household electrical outlet in countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Namibia, and Hong Kong.
The Type D Indian BS-546 electrical outlet is most compatible with the Type D Old British Plug Adapter that is sometimes used in Yemen. Although the Type D Indian BS-546 electrical outlet and plug is not the standard in Yemen and other countries, it is still used in various households. In terms of design and appearance, the Type D Indian BS-546 electrical outlet and plug is often confused with the Type M South African electrical outlet and plug. However, as similar as these two may seem, they are not compatible and must not be used together in Yemen or even in other countries.
Type G British BS-1363 3-pin Plug, Electrical Outlet, and Adapter
The Type G British BS-1363 electrical outlet and plug is a British 3-pin rectangular blade used widely in Yemen that has a protective fuse inside to protect cords from high-current circuits and, most of the time, the Type G British BS-1363 electrical outlet includes a safety switch. The Type G British BS-1363 also has a receptacle end that is compatible with most household plug types, except the Type M South African SABS1661 (Old British BS-546 Large) plug. The plug end is a British BS-1363 13-amp type. For the adapter, the live and neutral pins are 4 x 6 x 18 mm apart, with the grounding pin measuring 4 x 8 x 23mm. Also, through the Type G British BS-1363 adapter, a tourist could use his or her appliance or electronic gadget in Yemen. The plug of this Type G British 3-pin is polarized and grounded but not fused. Another name for the Type G British BS-1363 plug is the 13-amp plug and for safety reasons the Yemen requires electrical outlets in households that use the Type G British BS-1363 to have shutters over the live and neutral connections of the electrical outlet. In the insertion of the longer earth pin from the plug, the safety shutters of the Type G British BS-1363 are opened. The shutters are also present to prevent the use of incompatible plugs made to other standards in Iraq.
However, there are cases wherein the safety shutters of this electrical outlet in Yemen could be opened through a screwdriver in order to insert Type C plugs. But then, the usage of Type G British BS-1363 outlet along with another kind of plug is not recommended because these plugs do not have a fuse. The regulation about the safety shutters and fuse is then followed in Yemen and all the other countries that use the Type G British BS-1363 electrical outlet and plug like the United Kingdom, England, Ghana, Grenada, Macau, Malta, Malaysia, Qatar, Saint Vincent, Saudi Arabia, Scotland and Zimbabwe. With all the safety measures and features of this plug and outlet, it is considered as one of the safest in Yemen, even the world. However, with all its features, this type of plug is bulky and cumbersome.
Some people claim that the Type G British BS-1363 plug is mostly bigger than the appliances they are connected to but if tourists would want to use their electronic gadget or appliance in Yemen, then they must have a Type G British BS-1363 adapter. Although the adapter would not change the voltage used, it will enable the plug of the appliance or electronic gadget to be inserted to the electrical outlet used in Yemen. For the electrical outlet, the Type G British BS-1363 sockets are not compatible with other types of electrical outlet in Yemen. In terms of compatibility, the Type G British BS-1363 electrical outlet will work together with the Type G British BS-1363 plug and adapter in Yemen.
Voltage Converters and Adapters
In using an electronic gadget or appliance that has a different voltage requirement than the 110-120 volts used in Yemen, the best way is by using voltage converters such as resistor-network converters, transformers, and, in some cases, the combination of both. The resistor-network converters to be used in Yemen are usually advertised to support as much as 50-1600 Watts and are just ideal to use for short periods of time. The resistor-network converter is also not recommended for digital devices like laptop computers however it is great for lightweight electronics like hair dryers and irons. If a tourist would want to use a laptop computer or charge batteries for camera, mp3 players, camcorders, and radios in Yemen, the ideal voltage converter would be a transformer which lowers maximum watt rating. It could be used for long periods of time but is a little bit heavy because of the large iron rods and copper wires.
The last kind of voltage converter in order to use electronics in Yemen that are not compatible with the electrical outlet present in Ireland is the combination of a resistor-network converter and transformer. Most of the time, there is a switch that enables the changing of modes from resistor-network converter to transformer, depending on the tourist's needs in Yemen. There are also universal

Sandusky River Walleye Telemetry Project
From 2005 to 2010, the Lake Erie Fisheries Unit in Sandusky conducted an evaluation of walleye in the Sandusky River and Bay. A total of 61 walleye were implanted with radio telemetry transmitters prior to spawning, and were subsequently relocated during the spawn to examine spawning behavior and timing, habitat selection, and spawning locations in the river and the bay. In addition, researchers from the OSU Aquatic Ecology Lab attached an additional 200 walleye with external transmitters in 2008 for an intense, one season evalutation of spawning habitat use. The information gathered during these projects has provided managers with vital information about the Sandusky walleye spawning stock, insight into the impact of the Ballville Dam on walleye spawning, and tools necessary to protect and enhance this important stock.
Annual updates on this project are available in past copies of the Lake Erie Status Report (2006-2009). The project completion report is also available here. For further information, please contact the Sandusky Lake Erie Fisheries Unit at _TAG_, or email at _EMAIL_.

- General
 The lion dance is one of China's most distinctive cultural arts. The tradition dates back thousands of years. It is believed to have appeared in either the Tang, Han, or Ch'in dynasties, possibly in different forms. Other legends associated with lion dance include using the dance to chase away the monster "Nian." Often performed by kung fu schools, lion dancing brings with it good fortune, prosperity, and longevity. The lion dance appears in western countries mainly during celebrations such as Chinese New Year, the August Moon Festival, and other multi-cultural events. It is also often seen at the opening of new shops, weddings, births, or where good fortune and prosperity is wished. While lions are not native to China and were rarely seen in Ancient China, the lion somehow became a part of the Chinese culture. They are often seen carved outside of temples, and, of course, there is the lion dance. Often, the lion statues and costumes for lion dancing have no resemblance to an actual lion, probably due to the fact that actual lions were rarely seen. The bright colors were used to chase away evil spirits and bad luck. There are two major types of lion dancing evolved from Northern and Southern China, with the lion of the Northern style more so resembling an actual lion. However, both styles produce a very realistic portrayal of the lion. The dance can be performed freestyle or choreographed. The freestyle form is used mostly in parades. The choreographed dances are used in shows coordinated to a drum, gong, and cymbals.
 - Costume
 The lion heads take hours to construct. First, a frame is made from bamboo and wood. Then, paper mache is used to cover the frame. A thin cloth is added between layers of paper mache for extra strength. After the paper mache is dried, paint is applied in colorful patterns. A clear glossy coat is applied which also adds strength. Finally, the eyes, ears, fur, and other decorations are applied to finish the head. Before a head is used it must first have its eyes opened in a ceremony called Hoi Gong. For realism, the heads have moving mouth, eyes, and ears. There are several different types of heads, some even weighing as much as 35 pounds. However, movement is less about strength than coordination and timing. First off, the Northern and Southern heads and costumes are different. The Northern lion looks more like a real lion, with fur all over the body and a more anatomically correct head. The performers often wear leggings that add to the realism. The Southern lion head is more ornate and fancy. The body and tail is made of silk and has almost no fur. The best heads can be purchased for $1000 to $800 from Hong Kong or Malaysia. For about $500, heads can be purchased from Foshan (Buddha Mountain in Guangdong), but they only last for a few performances. Aside from the Foshan style head, there is the Heshan style that has more room inside because of a protruding nose and mouth.
 - Dance
 The dance sequence usually starts with the lion(s) cautiously coming out of a cave. He sniffs around for danger. Other elements of the dance include: giving respects by bowing, fighting if more than one lion is performing, sleeping, grooming,eating, and drinking. Many dances will also add in tricks such as lifts and rolls. These are difficult to coordinate between both dancers and other lions. Generally, each dance contains a sequence, called choy cheng, where the lion eats lettuce or other greens. In the United States, the green has come to mean prosperity because it is the color of money. However, the true meaning is that dealing out lettuce is fa tsai in Chinese, which sounds like "become prosperous" in Chinese. Often a red envelope, called hong bao, is attached as payment. After eating the lettuce, the lion crouches for a moment and then sprays the audience with it. Sometimes the lettuce is placed behind obstacles that the lion needs to pass to get it. Other exotic objects have been eaten with different meanings. Sometimes scrolls with lucky sayings are used when spraying lettuce is inappropriate. Other choreographed sequences may include a dancing Buddhist monk, called the Little Buddha, that provokes the lion, plays with it, and/or feeds it. Sometimes the lion will bite the monk. These are difficult to coordinate between both dancers and other lions.
 - Legend and Origins
 The legend says Nian was a fierce monster that especially liked kidnapping children. He terrorized villages year after year. Finally, one year, a lion defeated and chased the monster away, but Nian vowed to return the next year. This time, unfortunately, the villagers did not have a lion to protect themselves. So, they solved the problem by creating a costume in the likeness of a lion and two villagers used it to scare Nian away. This is the reason the lion dance is performed every Chinese New Year. Legend also says that loud noises from the drum, other instruments, and firecrackers helped to scare Nian away. Red is worn during the New Years celebration because it was also believed that Nian was afraid of the color red. Another origin of the lion dance is that an emperor of the Tang Dynasty had a dream in which a strange creature saved his life. When he woke, he described his dream. His advisors said the creature he described resembled the lion, a creature from the West. The emperor commissioned the lion dance in honor of the creature that saved his life. The Tang dynasty saw lion dancing at its peak. One record states that a dance performed for nobles contained 12 groups of 5 lions, each with 12 'lion-men' following each lion. They danced to 140 people singing the 'tai-ping' melody (composed in the Tang Dynasty). The Little Buddha originates from the Buddhist/Shaolin monks that was thought to have trained the first lion dancers. The Little Buddha is sometimes referred to as the dai tou fut, or big headed monk.

text: In order to gain a deep insight into the mechanism of Ni-doped Mo activated sintering process, the diffusion behavior of Mo-Ni interface was studied utilizing a Mo-Ni diffusion couple. The phase structure and composition on the diffusion layer were characterized and analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope, the self diffusion coefficient and interdiffusion coefficient were calculated. The results show that a diffusion layer is formed between Mo and Ni after sintering at 1223k for 1h, which is comprised of a δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel. The self diffusion coefficient and interdiffusion coefficient are 2.068×10-18cm2/s and 4.5×10-12cm2/s, respectively. It is suggested that the diffusion rate of Mo in δ-NiMo intermetallic compound and a limit solid solution containing small amounts of nickel is 106 times bigger than that of self diffusion, and the intermetallic compound layer provides a short diffusion path for Mo activated sintering.

Interlayer bonding strength of 3D printed PEEK specimens†
Recent advances in extrusion-based filament 3D printing technology enable the processability of high-performance polymers. Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is an important group of high-performance polymer that has been widely used in aerospace, automotive, and biomedical applications. The interlayer bonding strength of 3D printed PEEK is crucial for load-bearing applications, yet studies on 3D printed PEEK are sparse due to processing challenges. In this study, the three-point flexural test is used to study the interlayer bonding strength of 3D-printed PEEK specimens with respect to the printing process parameters, including nozzle temperature, print speed, layer height, and wait-time. A design of experiment (DOE) approach is developed to study correlations between printing parameters and the end-use properties, including flexural stress (σf) and strain at break (εf), flexural modulus (Ef), and crystallinity (χ). Our results show that the nozzle temperature, layer height, and wait-time significantly affect the interlayer bonding strength, with nozzle temperature being the most influential parameter to enhance interlayer bonding strength indicated by a significant increase in σf, εf, and χ. Thermal annealing post-printing is shown to increase the degree of χ and Ef, yet its effect on interlayer bonding strength is minimal, indicating that the interlayer bonding strength is primarily determined during the printing process. This study demonstrates the use of a three-point flexural test integrated with a versatile and robust DOE approach to study the interlayer bonding strength of PEEK to reduce product development time while improving mechanical properties.

Advancements in communication technologies continue to support the development of geographically-distributed teams. Yet as this practice grows, managers and staff remain concerned about the impact of working physically away from each other. This study theorizes social capital as the primary mechanism by which the level of distribution of individuals in teams and the use of communication technologies influence the work-related outcomes of job performance, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Three components of social capital are examined: structural, relational and cognitive. I use social network methodology to capture differences in face-to-face versus technology-mediated communication networks in a survey of over 250 knowledge workers and managers in 18 groups in 9 organizations. Analysis of the data includes structural equation and hierarchical linear models to test for latent variables, paths and multilevel effects. Preliminary results show that structural, relational and cognitive social capital vary in their effects on performance. I also find that face-to-face and technology-mediated structures function as distinct and separate sources of social capital. The results assist managers in further understanding how technology use and team organization relate to performance in distributed teams. Methods are suggested that managers can use to evaluate and improve individual and team social capital.

The airway epithelium develops into a tree-like structure via branching morphogenesis. Here, we show a critical role for localized differentiation of airway smooth muscle during epithelial bifurcation in the embryonic mouse lung. We found that during terminal bifurcation, changes in the geometry of nascent buds coincided with patterned smooth muscle differentiation. Evaluating spatiotemporal dynamics of α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) in reporter mice revealed that αSMA-expressing cells appear at the basal surface of the future epithelial cleft prior to bifurcation and then increase in density as they wrap around the bifurcating bud. Disrupting this stereotyped pattern of smooth muscle differentiation prevents terminal bifurcation. Our results reveal stereotyped differentiation of airway smooth muscle adjacent to nascent epithelial buds and suggest that localized smooth muscle wrapping at the cleft site is required for terminal bifurcation during airway branching morphogenesis.

Hope for spinal-injury victims
Canterbury University research is aimed at giving people with spinal-cord injuries improved movement and stability.
PhD student Cindy Allison plans to draw on the work of Israeli physicist Moshe Feldenkrais to develop a group programme for disabled people that would be accessible and affordable.
The Feldenkrais method aims to restore the sensory system through specific movements and attention to sensory feedback, with research showing it could reduce pain, fatigue, stress and medical costs, while improving mobility, stability, co-ordination and breathing.
Allison said Kevin Hitchcock, a former director of news at Channel Ten in Sydney, was told he would be paralysed from the neck down for the rest of his life after a diving accident, but had made an almost full recovery using the Feldenkrais method.
American Molly Hale broke her neck in 1995 and was told she would be paralysed from the shoulders down, but this year was able to walk unassisted for the first time since her accident.
Irene Lober, of Germany, was able to ski, despite being told she would need a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
Most disabled people who used the method did so individually.
"Working in a group setting, you get the added benefit of inspiration and frequent humour from others in the group, she said.
"They also get a bit of an understanding of the method so they can do things on their own during the week."
