Are there really glaciers in Colorado?
Colorado proclaims 14 named glaciers—and more than 100 unnamed—within state borders, but all of them seem rather, well, frozen in place. Aren't glaciers supposed to move? As in, are these "glaciers" actually glaciers? The answer is yes—with an asterisk. Our state is home to 141 masses of ice whose size and weight cause them to flow like a very slow river—the definition of glacierhood per the National Snow & Ice Data Center. But according to W.T. Pfeffer, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, one of our most famous glaciers isn't quite worthy of its name: Saint Mary's Glacier, while impressive, is "just a gully that traps snow in a big drift." Take that to your next pub trivia night.

Simple logging with Winston and Universe
Wigos brings together Universe and winston to make project logging a snap.
In other words: Winston Goes to Outer Space!
Basic usage is as follows:
var wigos = require('wigos');
var log = wigos('access');
log.info('GET /foobar');
The logger returned is a regular winston logger. Wigos keeps track of loggers by name, returning the same object every time, and centrally manages transports on all loggers.
By default, logging is enabled to the console with level info, and to files in the project's log directory with level verbose. Log files are given the.log extension.
The default transports can be toggled on-the-fly:
Custom transports can also be added or removed from all loggers:
wigos.addTransport(MyTransport, { level: 'info' });
Note that addTransport doesn't take transport instances, only constructor functions, unlike winston's Logger#add. This is because an instance needs to be created for every wigos logger.
Rather than an options hash, you may also provide a function. The function takes as its only argument the logger name requested. For example, the default file logger is created roughly as follows:
wigos.addTransport(winston.transports.File, function(basename) {
 return {
 dirname: universe.log,
 filename: basename + '.log',
 /* … */

Guide to Dealing with Tree Roots
Tree roots make up the integral foundation of all trees. Without them, trees would not grow straight up or withstand strong winds and poor weather. Roots keep trees anchored, creating a vast underground network of support.
Roots are essential in many ways, but when they become overgrown, they can get in the way, cause a safety hazard, and make it hard to keep up with your landscaping.
If you have overgrown or exposed tree roots on your Calgary, Alberta, property, it's possible to remove them without harming the tree. However, it takes careful technique and timing to avoid damaging the tree or even killing it altogether.
Take control of your tree roots! In this article, we're sharing everything you need to know about the risks of overgrown roots, what causes them, and the various removal methods.
Risks of Overgrown Tree Roots
In Calgary, overgrown tree roots can do more harm than good. While large, exposed roots surrounding a tree aren't a danger in and of themselves, their proximity to other structures and high-traffic areas can make them a nuisance or even a danger.
Some of the most pressing risks of overgrown roots include:
- Roots growing under foundation – These will grow thicker and can eventually damage the foundation, compromising the integrity of the building.
- Roots causing sidewalk/driveway cracking – Roots close to high traffic areas can ruin stonework, make unsightly cracks, and pose a risk for walkers or even cars.
- Roots as a safety hazard – Roots that grow above the ground can be a significant tripping hazard. They're often hard to see because of their color, and leaves open cover them up, making them even more dangerous.
- Roots hindering lawncare and landscaping – Thick roots that grow above ground can make it impossible to mow the lawn or landscape the area surrounding a tree.
However, not all roots come with these same risks. There are two main types of roots.
Types of Roots
The two kinds of roots you'll find underground are feeder roots and structural roots. Structural roots stabilize the tree and anchor it to its spot on the ground. They are usually sturdier and thicker. Feeder roots transfer nutrients and moisture from the soil back to the tree.
You can have exposed feeder roots and structural roots, but the most common kind of root to see exposed in Calgary, AB, is the structural root. They are typically larger and thicker, and they can grow out wide to provide a stable base for the tree.
What Causes Exposed Roots?
Exposed roots, also known as surface rooting, can be caused by a few different things.
- Poor soil quality – If the soil is not moist and compact, it's easier for thick tree roots to break through to the surface, especially in sandy, clay-based, or loose soil.
- Lack of oxygen – A lack of oxygen in the soil can cause tree roots to move toward the surface to capture more oxygen needed to keep the tree alive.
- Weather – Lots of rain, wind, or runoff can erode the soil and area around the tree, causing roots to become exposed.
- Lack of space – If a tree is planted where it does not have enough room to grow completely, like next to sidewalks, buildings, or streets, the roots may deflect to the surface to continue growing.
- High traffic – An area that's walked or trampled on a lot, the soil can become naturally eroded or packed down, exposing the roots.
Determining the cause of your overgrown or exposed roots can help determine the best way to remove them.
Removing Tree Roots
There are a few ways to remove tree roots from your Calgary property. The most common is to physically remove the trees by digging or cutting them out—or a combination of the two. The other option is treating the roots with chemicals to kill them.
Digging and Cutting Out Tree Roots
If you want to handle the job yourself without involving any harsh chemicals, you're looking at a major job of digging and cutting out the roots. It's the fastest yet most labor-intensive option you have.
To start digging out the roots, you're going to need a sharp spade and a root saw.
Find the root you want to cut, and trace it back to the base where it is growing from. Know that the larger the base, the more likely you are to damage the tree if you cut it. If it's somewhat small or smaller than the others, there shouldn't be any real problem.
Then, find the spot to start digging and cutting. This should be about three to five times the length of the tree's diameter. Mark this spot with spray paint so that you don't lose it.
Start digging out the soil around the root with the spade to expose as much root as possible. Pull out anything loose.
Then, using a root saw, cut the intact roots, cutting as far from the root ball as possible.
Then, use your spade or another tool to lift the roots out. Continue cutting any smaller roots in the area until you can remove the root ball.
Removing Roots with Chemicals
If you're not one for all the manual labor, there's a less intensive way to remove the tree roots using chemicals. This method is only recommended if you are trying to do away with stubborn roots left behind after cutting down a tree or removing the stump.
The first chemical you can use is glyphosate herbicide. Mix this with water in a 50/50 solution and saturate the outer ring of the stump with the solution, avoiding plants or nearby grass. Two weeks after, the roots should be dying off.
You can also use rock salt if you have more patience. It takes a few months to work, and a few applications are necessary to do it right. First, drill into the stump in several places and create holes a few inches deep. Drill holes in any exposed roots as well.
Then, fill these holes with rock salt, add water to fill, and repeat a few times each month. Eventually, this will suck out all water from the roots, causing them to die.
There's always a risk when removing tree roots in Calgary. If the tree is still living and you want to keep it that way, you should proceed with caution and only opt for the manual method of removing roots to keep the rest of the tree intact and safe from harm.
However, if you want to stay away from manual labor and have time to spare, a chemical option may better suit you. Or reach out to our team for a free estimate for stump removal services.

Song, Y.; Sun, X. Modeling and Dynamics of a MDOF Isolation System. Appl. Sci. 2017, 7, 393.
This study analyzes the modeling and dynamics of a novel passive in Multi-Degree-of-Freedom (MDOF) vibration isolation platform which can achieve significant isolation effect. Symmetrical Scissor-Like structures (SLSs) are utilized in the proposed MDOF isolation platform as the supporting and isolation elastic components. Based on the mathematical modeling and theoretical analysis of the MDOF vibration isolation system with SLSs, the effect of structural parameter and joint friction on stiffness and damping properties is investigated. It is shown that due to geometric relations within the SLSs, the natural frequencies can be reduced via adjusting structural parameters of the SLS for different direction vibration isolation. Theoretical and experimental results show that the SLS isolation platform can achieve much better loading capacity and vibration isolation performance simultaneously by only using linear passive components because of the MDOF adjustable stiffness property. Therefore, with low costing and energy consumption, the proposed novel isolation platform can provide the improvement of vibration suppression in various engineering practices.

The DateDiff function "Returns a Long value specifying the number of time intervals between two Date values."
DateInterval.Day is the Day member of the DateInterval collection, so the DateDiff function will return the number of days between the two dates, actually the number of Day "boundaries". By boundaries I mean if you gave it 11pm on day one and 1am the next day it would still return 1 day.
The formula is then converting or as someone once said to me "Coercing into a decimal" using the Cdec() function. i.e. it is converting the Long value returned by the DateDiff function into a Decimal value. I won't go into the difference between Long and Decimal datatypes here, suffice to say Long is a floating point type and decimal is an exact numeric type - exacts are generally safer to work with, but this conversion is probably unecessary in this instance because giving DateDiff function a Day interval is only ever going to return integers (not the datetype).
After the Cdec() function, the formula is then multiplying by -1. This is a common trick to convert positive numbers to negative, or negative numbers to positive. For some reason the author of the formula wants to change the sign of the returned value.
One flaw with this formula is that it assumes the date1 and date2 are always in a certain order. For example if Date1 is usually earlier than Date2, this formula will return a negative value because it is being multiplied by -1.
I don't think I can explain this more thoroughly, but it would be preferable if you explained why you need to understand this formula, especially the context of its use.
If you gave the formula these two dates 2013-02-01 and 2013-02-2 as date1 and date2 it would give you a result of -1.
If you gave it those two dates the other way around it would give you +1.

Richard Axel and Linda Buck honored for discovering genetic coding that allows us to identify and distinguish thousands of smells
NEW YORK, NY, October 4, 2004 – Richard Axel, M.D. of Columbia University Medical Center has won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with Linda B. Buck, Ph.D., of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center for clarifying how the olfactory system works. Dr. Buck was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia when she and Dr. Axel jointly published the fundamental paper on the subject in 1991.
The sense of smell has remained the most enigmatic of the senses. The work of Drs. Axel and Buck has provided understanding on how the nose is able to distinguish more than 10,000 distinct smells. The researchers discovered a gene pool of more than 1,000 different genes that encode olfactory receptors in the nose that detect odors and olfaction. This is believed to be the largest gene family in the human genome.
"I'm deeply honored and very pleased," said Dr. Axel. "This honor represents the long efforts of the many faculty, students and fellows who have worked within our laboratories at Columbia University Medical Center. I have received enormous support over the years beginning with the scholarship I received to attend Columbia College. I have to also thank the National Institutes of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute that allowed the performance of truly novel experiments by our research team."
Dr. Richard Axel is University Professor, Columbia University, and Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University Medical Center. He has been at Columbia University Medical Center his entire career, and was an undergraduate at Columbia College.
Axel and Buck join a group of 70 notable Columbians whose work has been recognized by the Nobel Foundation, including 19 in the category of physiology or medicine.
"Columbia University is honored that our esteemed faculty member, Richard Axel, has received the Nobel Prize for his pioneering studies clarifying how our sense of smell works," said Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger. "Dr. Axel's groundbreaking research solves the puzzle of how we translate the sensations around us into knowledge that is key for our survival and quality of life."
"Dr. Axel's work is among the most important discoveries of the past 50 years, providing insights regarding how individuals perceive their external environment," said Gerald D. Fischbach, executive vice president, Columbia University Medical Center. "He has been an enormously important influence for all the sciences here at Columbia University, the medical center and the College of Physicians and Surgeons. His wide range of interests and enormous skills in molecular biology have influenced faculty throughout the university."
"We congratulate Richard and Linda for their profoundly important discovery, and for the way in which they achieved it," said David Hirsh, executive vice president for research at Columbia University. "Their experiments represent the highest form of creativity, scientific discipline and scholarship. This is science at its most beautiful."
The sense of smell is possible because neurons directly connect the brain to the outside world. In the nose, receptors on the neurons pick up odors from the environment and send that information directly to the olfactory bulb, the first relay station in the brain. Drs. Axel and Buck determined how neurons converge in the olfactory bulb, which gave them further insights into how smell is processed in the brain. Each olfactory receptor cell possesses only one type of odorant receptor, and each receptor can detect a limited number of odorant substances, so the olfactory receptor cells are highly specialized for a few odors. Most odors are composed of multiple odorant molecules, and each odorant molecule activates several odorant receptors, leading to a combined odorant pattern, which allows us to recognize and form memories of approximately 10,000 different odors. The combination of odorant receptors activated when we smell a rose tell us that it smells nice and is different from the combination of receptors activated by rotting fish.
The sense of smell is essential to the survival of most species, who use their olfactory systems to identify food, smell predators and observe and interpret their environments. In humans, smells warn us if food has gone bad and can be powerful enough to trigger distinct memories years later.
Axel and his colleagues also developed gene transfer techniques that permit the introduction of virtually any gene into any cell, allowing the analysis of gene function in vivo. These experiments in cell transformation led to the isolation and functional analysis of the gene for the T-cell surface protein, CD4, the cellular receptor for HIV. He then began to apply the techniques of molecular biology to problems in neurobiology. He identified the peptide genes responsible for eliciting an innate behavior in a marine snail, and molecular analysis of these genes suggests how diverse behavioral patterns may be encoded in the genetic material and inherited from parent to offspring.

tanner engraving
In the mid C19th the last leather tanner in Hathern, Mr. Richard Smith was declared bankrupt and was forced to sell his property and fixtures.This marked the end of a trade that started hundreds of years before.
The history of tanning in Britain. The work of an ancient tanner was unglamorous to say the least. It started with an arduous preparatory stage that could take several weeks. First, the animals skins were cleaned and softened with water. Once cleaned, the tanners still had to pound the hides to remove excess fat and flesh. Next, to loosen the hair follicles, they would either coat the hides with an alkaline lime mixture, leave the hides out to putrefy for months, or soak them in vats of urine before removal with a dull knife (scudding). In the 'bating' stage, tanners worked animal dung or brains into the skins either by beating with sticks or kneading them in a vat of faeces and water.
The combination of bacterial enzymes found in animal waste and the beating or kneading action fermented the skin and made it supple. Understandably, ancient tanneries were always found on the outskirts of towns. With the malodorous preparatory work complete, the hides were ready for tanning. From ancient times and through the 18th century, tanners used a chemical compound called tannin, derived from tree bark and certain plant leaves. Hides were stretched out on frames and immersed in vats of concentrated amounts of tannin. Tannins bind to the collagen proteins in the hide and coat them, causing them to become less water-soluble, more bacteria-resistant, and more flexible. From

Learn Physics From Kitties
In this video, several adorable kitties get a lesson in basic physics when they become intensely fascinated with a kinetic motion desk toy. We hope you're paying attention, kitties. There will be a test later.
The toy, which is called a Newton's cradle, demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy via a series of swinging spheres suspended by wires. In particular, it proves that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, which is an important concept that Albert Einstein used when he developed the theory of relativity.
Of course, the kitties don't know any of this and probably couldn't care less about science as they bat the spheres back and forth. All they know is that it's shiny, makes an awesome clacking noise and demands to be played with. Way to go, kitties! Never let book learning kill your fun.

KOSHER WITH DAIRY PRODUCTS
Kosher is the process of separating pure from impure and boiling a pot to make the pure liquid kosher. Kosher food is considered to be that which adheres to rules of Jewish dietary laws. There are many rules in the Torah and Talmud about kosher food, for example, that one should avoid dairy products with meat, or that meat that has been cooked with milk cannot be eaten with meat that has not been cooked with milk. There is also a rule that meat and milk cannot be served together.
Kosher means pure in Hebrew, and it has very specific requirements for how food must be prepared. The process of koshering can be a bit complicated, but the most important thing is to know the ingredients in your food. The most common way to make something kosher is to add a specific mixture of salt to meat, and then it is boiled. It is important to remember that kosher cannot be made with dairy products. Kosher is traditionally prepared with salt, but you can also use a mixture of spices like onion, garlic, coriander, and pepper.


Definition - What does Anaerobic mean?
Anaerobic refers to a type of environment that consists of a partial or complete lack of oxygen. It may also refer to a type of corrosion that occurs in the presence of anoxic water.
Corrosionpedia explains Anaerobic
Anaerobic corrosion is most readily observed when a metal is placed or used in an environment with a high concentration of bacteria. These bacteria can survive in areas without oxygen and force metal degradation and/or corrosion via the microorganism's activity. Such a mechanism is primarily observed in the presence of anoxic water.
A major type of anaerobic corrosion is hydrogen corrosion, which involves a redox reaction that reduces hydrogen ions to form molecular hydrogen.

CONGRESS OF THE ODD
CHARLES TRIPP – The Armless Wonder
During his time, Charles Tripp was not only the most well known armless wonder, he was also one of the most famous Canadian entertainers of his era. Born in Woodstock, Ontario on July 6, 1855 Charles Tripp owed much of his fame to his performance partner and dear friend Eli Bowen.
Charles Tripp was born without arms. But, as a young boy, he quickly adapted and became phenomenally adept at using his legs and feet as competently as a fully formed man would use their arms and hands. He was never exhibited during his youth but was well known locally for performing rather mundane daily tasks in extraordinary ways.
As a young man, Charles Tripp grew restless in his small hometown. As fortune would have it, at the age of seventeen, Charles heard of a showman in New York who exhibited special people with unusual talents. Seeing this as his opportunity for fame and fortune Charles Tripp packed his bags and headed to New York determined to meet the showman.All he had was a name, but that proved to be more than enough. The showman was P.T. Barnum.
Upon his arrival in New York, Tripp located Barnum's office and marched in unannounced. Barefoot, he demonstrated his morning routine by combing his hair, folding his clothes and putting his socks on. Barnum hired Tripp immediately. His career would last more than fifty years.
Tripp performed many feats during his various exhibitions. Initially, most were of the daily mundane variety. His daily shave was always a crowd pleaser.But as Tripp grew into a learned and well traveled man his repertoire reflected his maturity. Eventually Tripp became well known for his elegant penmanship, woodcarving, paper crafts, painting and photography.
Charles Tripp spent the bulk of his career touring with Barnum and eventually Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey shows. Tripp was able to command as much as $200 a week during these tours, a figure supplemented by sales of his autographed cabinet cards.
It was during his partnership with Eli Bowen that Charles Tripp was truly able to attract public attention. Pairing an armless man with a legless one was surely a stroke of showman brilliance but it was a moment of jovial playfulness that would cement Tripp and Bowen into history. While the pair posed for promotional photographs one of them spotted a tandem bicycle. In no time at all the two gents not only mounted the bicycle-built-for-two, but rode off together laughing as boys would. The photographer quickly snapped the pair mid-ride and the resulting surreal photograph still draws perplexed smiles.
Tripp married late in life, in his early seventies. Following the marriage he limited his touring to North American dates. Aided by his wife, Charles Tripp toured until the day he died. In January of 1930 Tripp passed away due to asthma in Salisbury, North Carolina.
He was seventy-four years old.

Power of Attorney - Grand Traverse County Probate Court
Estates & Protected Individuals Code
There are various types of arrangements available under the Estates and Protected Individuals Code when a minor needs someone other than a parent to make decisions usually made by a parent. The Estates and Protected Individuals Code is an Act adopted by the legislature to govern proceedings in Probate Court.
Power of Attorney
A parent can execute a power of attorney delegating the parent's power regarding the case, custody, or property of a minor for a period not to exceed 6 months. A guardian of a minor may also execute a power of attorney. MCL _PHONE_. If a guardian executes a power of attorney, the guardian must notify the Court within 7 days and provide the Court with the person's name, address, and telephone number.
This power is limited to the extent that it cannot include a power to release a minor for adoption or consent to adoption and marriage. The power of attorney cannot contain an automatic renewal clause. Therefore, any renewal of the power must result from another execution of the power for each period not to exceed 6 months. The Supreme Court has ruled that a power of attorney may be used to establish school residency when the child resides with a relative. Feaster v Portage Public Schools, 451 Mich. 351 (1996).

ACECQA's Quality Support Program Team outlines the importance of articulating practice and provides practical tips to assist educators articulate the achievements and strengths of their service and team members during assessment and rating visits.
As an educator, your contribution to your service's assessment and rating visit can really make a difference.
The visit is your opportunity to highlight what your service and educators do well, celebrate your strengths and achievements, open conversations about the quality of your programs and practices, and gain valuable feedback.
Many will be thinking that this is easier said than done. After all, one of the things that many educators find difficult is communicating to the authorised officer all that your service does well, and how practices provide quality outcomes for children and families.
This is the skill of articulating practice.
In fact, educators articulate practice on a daily basis. They talk with and about children and their knowledge, strengths, ideas, culture, abilities and interests. They also discuss children's learning, their social and emotional development, wellbeing, and friendships.
Articulation is generally understood to mean the act of expressing something in a coherent, understood way. Articulation in education and care is essential to building relationships with children (Element 5.1.1) and collaborative partnerships with families and communities (QA 6).
It is through these conversations and relationships that educators gain an understanding of, and build on, the strengths, aspirations and priorities of children and families. This in turn makes your education and care programs, practices and policies meaningful, inclusive and child-centred.
Authorised officers are trained to follow an 'observe-discuss-sight' method at the visit to gather evidence to support a rating against the NQS, including compliance with the National Law and National Regulations.
While authorised officers may ask questions to gain more information and examples, it is important to think about what you would like to discuss and which examples highlight how the educators, service leaders and team are meeting or exceeding the NQS. The term 'discuss' is used in the Guide to the National Quality Framework to provide opportunities for respectful two-way conversations between authorised officers and the educators or service leaders to identify examples of quality practice that align with the NQS.
Here are four practical tips to assist you in articulating practice during your service's Assessment and Rating visit:
Tip 1 – Build knowledge
Support your educators to build on and become confident in their knowledge of the NQS, the relevant Approved Learning Framework/s and your Quality Improvement Plan. Hold regular meetings, reflective sessions and, if relevant, professional development workshops to discuss these topics.
A good working knowledge of these fundamentals is a basis for providing quality outcomes for the children in the service and their families. This knowledge will, in turn, provide educators with the ability to look at practices in the service and articulate them in the context of these documents.
Tip 2 – Practice articulating practice!
Start talking about the service philosophy and how it informs decisions, along with discussing the 'what', 'how' and especially the 'why' of practices. Talk to your families, children, each other, management and the community.
Team meetings are a good opportunity to have these discussions with other educators and it can be useful to add 'quality practice' and 'reflective practice' as regular agenda items.
The reflective questions in the Guide to the NQF can be used to provoke discussions in these meetings. You can use techniques such as brainstorming or mind mapping to document what quality at your service looks like in a Standard or Element and to discuss how your service is performing.
Tip 3 – Ongoing self-assessment/walk in the Authorised Officer's shoes
Ongoing self-assessment against the NQS and related regulatory requirements drives continuous improvement and is essential to providing quality outcomes for children (Guide to the NQF, p.316).
As part of your self-assessment, identify what an authorised officer might observe, discuss or sight about the quality of your service practices and programs. To do this, "step into the authorised officer's shoes" and take a walk around your service or in your family day care (FDC) office and educators' homes.
As an example, let's look at what some of the 'discuss' items for QA 3 could include:
Element 3.1.1 Fit for purpose
- How the environment is planned and organised, taking into consideration the need for safe, yet challenging spaces.
- How FDC educators balance their family members' need for privacy with providing sufficient space for the children who are educated and cared for.
Element 3.1.2 Upkeep
- What regular safety checks are in place, as well as maintenance monitoring of the building and equipment.
Element 3.2.1 Inclusive environment
- How natural environments are valued at the service and plans for outdoor and indoor environments are given equal consideration.
Element 3.2.2 Resources support play-based learning
- How resources, materials and equipment are provided and arranged to support children's play, exploration and investigations
- The way in which children are invited to choose resources.
Element 3.2.3 Environmentally responsible
- How children and educators are supported to engage with and respect the natural environment on a regular basis.
Many more examples of what authorised officers may observe, discuss and sight for each of the quality areas are in the Guide to the NQF.
Tip 4 – Language
It is important to ensure that the language you and your educators use during a visit is both authentic and makes reference to the language of the NQS. This helps demonstrate familiarity with the NQS and will show the authorised officer your service's commitment to quality outcomes.
It can also be helpful to practice discussing your approach with words that emphasise the importance of children and families at your service and show collaboration, for example, using phrases such as:
- "Together with the children we discussed…."
- "Families were able to share their thoughts through…"
- "After the team reflected on this feedback we changed the way we…"
- "The children share their ideas by…"
- "The children and educators reflected on…..and together decided…"
- "Children and families are able to have input into decisions about…through…"
Confident and effective articulation of practice at your service's assessment and rating visit is an attainable goal. An investment of time and the ongoing commitment of the entire team is certain to reap benefits.

Definition of textile sizing chemicals
Different types of water soluble polymers called textile sizing agents/chemicals such as modified starch, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), acrylates are used to protect the yarn.
To achieve the best sizing effect, the ideal textile sizing chemicals should be with those characteristics:
1.The textile sizing chemicals must have enough adhesion strength;
2.It should be with proper viscosity;
3.With excellent molding ability;
4.With stable physic and chemical properties;
5.Soluble and dispersing to water, for the best advantage of convenient textile processing in actual application.

Any way to have a NSButton title to wrap when it's width is longer than the button width, instead of getting clipped?
I'm trying to have a radio button with a text that can be long and have multiple lines. One way I thought about having it work is to have an NSButton of type NSRadioButton but can't get multiple lines of text to work.
Maybe my best alternative is to have an NSButton followed by an NSTextView with the mouseDown delegate function on it triggering the NSButton state?

I don't believe you can. You'd have to subclass NSButtonCell to add support for this.
That said, it's typically a bad idea to have multiple lines of text on a button. A button label should concisely represent the action performed:
The label on a push button should be a verb or verb phrase that describes the action it performs—Save, Close, Print, Delete, Change Password, and so on. If a push button acts on a single setting, label the button as specifically as possible; "Choose Picture…," for example, is more helpful than "Choose…" Because buttons initiate an immediate action, it shouldn't be necessary to use "now" (Scan Now, for example) in the label.
What are you trying to do?

I'm with Sören; If you need a longer description, think about using a tool tip or placing descriptive text in a wrapped text field using the small system font below the radio choices if the descriptive text is only a few lines. Otherwise, you could provide more information in a help document.
Figuring out a way to say what you need to say in a concise way is your best bet, though.

I absolutely need to show the associated text with each radio button option "as is", each is a possible answer to a question shown on top, all coming from db and resuming is not an option. I ended up adding a wrapped text view on the right of each radio button and controlling the height dynamically. – Carlos Barbosa Mar 24 '09 at 20:50

Well here's my excuse for needing multiline buttons: I'm writing an emulator for an IBM 701, complete with front panel, and, bless their hearts, the designers of that front panel used multi-line labels. Here's my code. You only have to subclass NSButtonCell (not NSButton), and only one method needs to be overridden.
// In Xcode 4.6 (don't know about earlier versions): Place NSButton, then double-click it
// and change class NSButtonCell to ButtonMultiLineCell.
_USER_ ButtonMultiLineCell : NSButtonCell
_USER_ ButtonMultiLineCell

Context: Analyses of Utah vital records indicated that Utah Pacific Islanders had unique health problems that merited further investigation through a behavioral survey. However, statewide surveys did not reach a large enough sample of Pacific Islanders and were not administered in Samoan or Tongan.
Objective: The authors sought to complete a surveillance study of Utah Pacific Islanders.
Design: The authors created a surname list on the basis of names of parents who identified themselves as Pacific Islanders on Utah birth certificates. A questionnaire was developed with input of local Pacific Islanders and administered in English, Samoan, and Tongan.
Participants: We interviewed 605 adult Utah Pacific Islanders.
Results: The Utah Pacific Islander Survey (UPIS) generated estimates of health status among Utah Pacific Islanders with smaller confidence intervals than those derived from the Utah Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), even when combining 6 years of BRFSS data. Standard errors were less than half the value of the BRFSS estimates in all cases. The UPIS estimated higher rates than the BRFSS for Pacific Islander diabetes, obesity, and male arthritis. Respondents interviewed in Samoan or Tongan had higher rates of diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.
Conclusions: The UPIS identified significant health disparities among the Utah Pacific Islander population that warrant public health intervention, such as high rates of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure and low rates of preventive screening. The UPIS estimates of Utah Pacific Islander health status are more precise than those acquired by the BRFSS, establishing strong baseline data that can be used to measure the success of interventions targeting these disparities.

Crews move young bull trout trapped in pools by dewatering upriver where water remains year round.
Fish out of Water
Scientists think that Kachess River always dewatered to some extent. The timing of Kachess bull trout traveling up to spawn is much later than their relatives in Box Canyon and Gold Creek. However, the extent of dewatering is likely much worse today than it was in the past due to the combination of human impacts and climate change. This means less habitat for young rearing bull trout, who spend 3 to 4 years growing larger before moving to lakes. The process of dewatering takes place rapidly and young bull trout are not strong swimmers. As a result, they become trapped in pools and sections of stream that go dry and they die.
Solving the Kachess Rubik's Cube
We can't solve the problem of dewatering entirely since it is tied to the dam. However, we can find ways to retain and create better habitat for bull trout and other species. The first step is gathering information about the upper Kachess watershed. There is a world of possibilities to help bull trout including:
- Placing wood in strategic locations to create refuge during high flows so young fish aren't pushed down river into the stretch that dewaters.
- Constructing log jams that provide pools with cover that can last throughout the summer for those that are pushed downstream
- Identifying the previous locations of tributaries before they were cut off by the road and reconnect them.
- Identifying relic channels that are lower than the current flood plain and directing flow there
We want to know the most effective ways of restoring the river, and that is where data comes in. Gathering data from gravel counts, ground surveys, LiDAR, flow and groundwater measurements, etc. will direct us where we need to go. For example, LiDAR data will provide us with insights into human impacts over the past 100 years, which we can then correct.
The confluence of Mineral Creek (left) and Kachess River (right). Interesting fact: Mineral Creek contributes significantly more water than Kachess, but is much less utilized by bull trout when spawning.

How exiting ultra-Orthodox Judaism is not a single act of defiance, but an interactive process that extends for years after leaving
Read a blog entry by the author
Read an excerpt from Chapter 1 (pdf).
Those who exit a religion—particularly one they were born and raised in—often find themselves at sea in their efforts to transition to life beyond their community. In Degrees of Separation, Schneur Zalman Newfield, who went through this process himself, interviews seventy-four Lubavitch and Satmar ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews who left their communities. He presents their motivations for leaving as well as how they make sense of their experiences and their processes of exiting, detailing their attitudes and opinions regarding their religious upbringing. Newfield also examines how these exiters forge new ways of being that their upbringing had not prepared them for, while also considering what these particular individuals lose and retain in the exit process.
Degrees of Separation presents a comprehensive portrait of the prolonged state of being "in-between" that characterizes transition out of a totalizing worldview. What Newfield discovers is that exiters experience both a sense of independence and a persistent connection; they are not completely dislocated from their roots once they "arrive" at their new destination. Moreover, Degrees of Separation shows that this process of transitioning identity has implications beyond religion.
"At its most compelling, Degrees of Separation offers numerous inside(r) portraits of the emotional cost of exiting.... Degrees of Separation should be received as a significant contribution to the emergent field of OTD studies. (off the derech, or path, way) In light of the current vogue of memoirs, novels, film, and television shows by and about the so-called formerly Orthodox, Newfield cautions against partial or breezy generalizations; his intervention highlights the limits of our current understanding of what 'going OTD' represents in its religious, sociological, and psychological dimensions."
—Contemporary Jewry
"Degrees of Separation offers a fresh perspective on…following those who have chosen to exit Hasidic communities…. The book takes readers on a generally convincing journey into how exiters become something new while never fully separating from the people they used to be…. Degrees of Separation is a welcome addition to a nascent body of literature looking into Jewish ultra-Orthodox life from the vantage point of its restless, unruly, and permeable social margins."
—American Journal of Sociology
"(T)his book is an important contribution to the field and is ideal for graduate or advanced undergraduate courses in the sociology of religion or social psychology. It is an interesting read, the writing is accessible and relatively jargon free, and Newfield allows the data to do most of the talking. Moreover, as an exiter himself, Newfield writes in an engaging, empathic way that does not exoticize the Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community. Overall, this book will make a great addition to the library of anyone interested in religious exit, identity transformation, and the social construction of reality."
Symbolic Interaction
" Newfield's book on the exiting of Ultra-Orthodox Jews from their communities is a welcome addition to the sparse literature on this topic.... The book is informed by sociological theory and concepts and describes the historical context of these two Hasidic movements.... The book is well conceptualized and contains rich examples of the reported experiences of exiters."
—American Jewish History
" Newfield's book offers a deep, descriptive accounting of the experiences of exiters from ultra-Orthodox Judaism. In so doing, it contributes substantial insight into ultra-Orthodox communities. It also provides clear evidence of liminality in the lives of ultra-Orthodox exiters, as they navigate between their worlds of origin and their new communities."
—Contemporary Sociology
"(Newfield) builds on interviews with 74 men and women from the Chabad and Satmar Hasidic communities to focus on the 'exit process' they underwent.... Sociologists will appreciate how much Newfield employs from sociological theory, especially the concepts of liminality and hybridity, and how he compares exiting Hasidism to exits from other 'total institutions,' such as convents, prisons, and totalitarian countries.... (N)o scholar of "exiting" should ignore Newfield.... Summing Up: Recommended."
"(An) excellent analysis of exiting from ultra-Orthodoxy.... (T)his is a most opportune book.... (Newfield) is to be congratulated on this exemplary work of scholarship and also on his contribution to public sociology."
Social Forces
"(A)n important scholarly work precisely because of popular interest in sensationalist stories of departure (liberation!) proffered in books and films."
"Degrees of Separation is an original and imaginative investigation of the character and consequences of exiting closed and closely knit religious communities. On the basis of extensive interviews and observation of two Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in New York—Lubavitch and Satmar—Newfield examines the experiences and consequences of exiting. He rejects the taken-for-granted assumption that exit can be clean and decisive and hence prefers to talk about 'exiting.' Like whistleblowers, exiting individuals are typically subject to symbolic attacks and are often regarded as psychologically unstable by the community. Exiting can never be complete, because individuals have deeply ingrained habits acquired from early socialization in the community. Degrees of Separation is not simply a study of religious communities; it offers important insights into membership of and exit from any community or 'total institution.'" —Bryan S. Turner, Presidential Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and author of The Religious and the Political: A Comparative Sociology of Religion
"Degrees of Separation is a nuanced, sensitive book about 'exiters'—those who leave their Hasidic communities of origin—for all kinds of reasons. Newfield's account moves beyond a simple binarism, that of staying or going; instead he foregrounds the complicated ways that exiters experience long-term liminality, simultaneously attached to and independent of the totalizing communities in which they grew up. Newfield has written an accessible, fascinating book sure to be of great interest to a wide audience—a real accomplishment.—Ayala Fader, Professor of Anthropology at Fordham University and author of Hidden Heretics: Jewish Doubt in the Digital Age
"Newfield treats both his subjects and their former communities with fairness and empathy. He presents the world of these exiters as they see and experience it, with admirable clarity and honesty. Degrees of Separation is truly an excellent book. It follows the gaze of Newfield's subjects back at their former communities. But it's the complexities of the hybrid lives they are living now that are the real and enduring revelations here."
"This is a fascinating book in which Newfield attempts to understand why people leave (Ultra-Orthodox Judaism). The complexities of life and religious experience are such that there is not a single answer. However, a common thread is that many exiters had deep questions that were either not answered or minimized.... What parents and educators can learn from this book is that sophisticated questions must have an equally sophisticated response."
Jewish Link
" Newfield has made a significant contribution to the body of social scientific analysis of contemporary Hasidism through his book.... There are a number of key findings.... Beyond shedding considerable light on the specific phenomenon of those who choose to leave Hasidic communities, the book also offers the reader important insights into the communities they have left.... (T)his book goes a long way towards filling a significant gap in our knowledge of communities whose increasing presence and importance make them well worth knowing on a more than superficial basis."

Can Higher Education Foster Economic Growth?—A Conference Summary
Last Updated: 02/14/07
The Midwest's higher education institutions represent a primary asset to the region's economy, providing highly skilled human capital and research and development potential for new businesses and technology transfers. While other economic actors have an increasingly global perspective and less direct interest in the local economy, higher education is being asked to fill new roles regionally. Would a direct economic development mission compromise traditional roles of higher education in teaching and research?

When Britannia Ruled the Waves
Born in India. Sailed to England. Served in the West Indies. Retired in Jamaica. This well-travelled figurehead beautifully illustrates the extraordinary reach of the Royal Navy during the Age of Sail. The ship Liverpool was built in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1826 for the Imaum of Muscat. Ten years later, he sailed her to England and presented her to the Royal Navy. Renamed HMS Imaum, the 72-gun ship served in the West Indies until she was retired in 1863. The carved and painted wooden figurehead of a bejewelled Indian woman came to Halifax in 1951 via Port Royal, Jamaica and the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda.

What can you say about a function defined on a square region of the complex plane, if the integral of the function along any horizontal, vertical or diagonal of the square is equal? - an analytic magic square.
share|improve this question
I think you'd probably want to assume $f=f(x,y)$ to be a continuous function of $z=x+iy$, at least as a first step; without this assumption, you get all sorts of horrible measure theoretic difficulties and technicalities. But I think the complex analysis tag is wrong, unless you mean to restrict to analytic $f$. – Zen Harper Jan 26 '11 at 16:13
The idea of a magic square in the complex plane isn't really a natural analog of the usual discrete magic squares because in the discrete case you are summing along the same number of squares along a discrete diagonal, row or column, but in the complex integral case you would be integrating along diagonals which are not the same length as the other lines. – decomwe Jan 26 '11 at 16:26
Also, what is the measure you will integrate with when you integrate along the diagonal? There are two natural choices: (1) is to integrate $$ \int_0^1 f(x,x) dx $$ which is a direct analogue of the magic square case, but a possibly more natural integral (since you tagged complex-analysis) is the line-integral, which in coordinate presentation would be $$ \int_0^1 f(x,x) \sqrt{2} dx $$ the two different normalisations will give different answers in the case where you do not assume the integrals evaluate to 0. – Willie Wong Jan 26 '11 at 16:39

CORRECTION: many thanks to Joel David Hamkins and Willie Wong; yes, we should take $I_1 = I_2 = 0$ (now edited out and removed). For some reason "constant" and "zero" keep getting mixed up together in my head!!
You can get lots of examples satisfying the vertical and horizontal integral conditions by choosing $f(x,y) = g(x)h(y)$ where $\int_0^1 g(x) dx = \int_0^1 h(y) dy = 0$. The diagonal integrals being equal to $0$ gives you two equations relating $g,h$, but these still leave very many possibilities for $g,h$.
(Note: I wrote $I_1$, $I_2$ before, but I've removed these to make it clearer).
Finally, taking arbitrary finite linear combinations of such $f$ (and also infinite linear combinations, if you are careful with convergence) gives you yet more examples.
If you want to restrict $f$ to, say, analytic functions, then this won't work - but you didn't say this in your question! (Although I suppose maybe you meant this, since you do say "analytic" magic square!)
EDIT: I'm definitely not claiming that every continuous example $f$ can be obtained in this way!! I just want to show that there are many, many possibilities for $f$.

Just to give concrete examples. Let $g(x) = \sin 2\pi n x$ and $h(x) = \sin 2\pi m x$ with $m\neq n \in \mathbb{Z}$. – Willie Wong Jan 26 '11 at 16:29
You can't have $I_1$ and $I_2$ arbitrary, since if $I_2$ is nonzero, then for all the vertical integrals to be equal you would need $g(x)$ to be constant. Right? – Joel David Hamkins Jan 26 '11 at 16:34
The only way this can work is if $I_1=I_2=0$, as in Willie Wong's examples. – Joel David Hamkins Jan 26 '11 at 16:46
Thanks; yes, I have now edited out my stupid $I_1$, $I_2$ mistakes. – Zen Harper Jan 26 '11 at 18:50

Since this is tagged complex analysis:
(1) Such a function does not exist if you assume it is complex analytic on its domain and the various integrals evaluate to non-zero values.
Proof: apply Cauchy's integral theorem to the following contour: starting from the origin, go horizontally to $(1,0)$, go up to $(1,1)$, and travel back down diagonally to $(0,0)$.
(2) An analytic function with your properties must also be periodic. That is: $f(0,y) = f(1,y)$ and $f(x,0) = f(x,1)$.
Proof: consider the contour from the origin to $(1,0)$ to $(1,y)$ to $(0,y)$ and back to the origin. This shows that $\int_0^y f(0,t) dt = \int_0^t f(1,t)dt$ for every $t$. Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.
From (2), apply Rademacher's characterisation of analytic functions (see Theorem 10 in this), you have that a periodic extension of $f$ is an analytic function on the complex plane, which immediately implies that $f\equiv 0$.
So, to summarize: if $f$ is a function with your properties, which in addition is analytic in $(0,1)\times(0,1)\subset\mathbb{C}$ and is continuous up to the boundary, then $f\equiv 0$.
share|improve this answer
For (2), do you mean "doubly periodic" (i.e. periodic in each [real] variable separately?) So, I think it's using the fact that every elliptic function without poles must be constant? – Zen Harper Jan 26 '11 at 18:49
yes, periodic in the torus sense. And you don't need such high-brow terminology as "elliptic functions". :) Just Liouville's theorem. – Willie Wong Jan 26 '11 at 19:23
(that is is 0 follows from part (1), after you get that it is constant). – Willie Wong Jan 26 '11 at 19:24

Absolutely nothing beyond the definition. The complex plane is just R x R with some additional operations on it, which are irrelevant by your definition. The function doesn't have to be differentiable anywhere, continuous anywhere, or integrate to zero anywhere other than on the edges or on the main diagonals. Sorry. If you limited the question to say, meromorphic functions you might be able to get a better answer. In addition, you haven's specified directions, but i've taken it as implicit that you have.
If you have any open subset of C that crosses all 6 relevant integrals, and define an integrable function everywhere except that open region, you can always define the function on that subset such that the complete function satisfies the magic square condition.
share|improve this answer
I think the given definition of magic square is ambiguous. In my view, there should be an infinite number of relevant integrals: one for each maximum length line segment contained in the box which is parallel to a side of the square and one each for the two diagonals of the square – Tony Huynh Jan 26 '11 at 15:10

Implementing a New Credit Score in Lender Strategies (UPDATED STUDY)
UPDATED for 2020
At first, the process of converting strategies to use newscores can seem overwhelmingly complex. Generic riskscores have become deeply embedded within strategiesand often strategy design is contingent upon the scoreperformance. In reality, there is just one central question that must beanswered for successfully converting a strategy to use anew credit score:
What is the value of the new score (NewScore) that represents the same default rate orpopulation volume designated by the previous score(OldScore)?
All conversion processes revolve around answering this question and essentially follow the same steps. The analytic and resource requirement for each step in the conversionprocess is determined by the complexity and magnitude ofthe specific strategy. Furthermore, the process must befollowed when converting from one version of a score to anew version or converting from one brand of score toanother brand.

The Department of Defense, and each of its components, faces a daunting challenge with the decline in health among the military community as a whole, including military personnel, their families, military retirees, and other Government employees. This health challenge has significant implications on military readiness and also contributes to the increased cost of health care.
The Secretary of Defense launched the Healthy Base Initiative (HBI) in 2013 to explore various initiatives that could contribute to positive health outcomes. One result of the HBI was an endorsement to create farmers markets on military installations to improve the nutritional offerings and encourage individuals to make healthier food choices.
The goals of this guide are to enable installation leadership to:
- help installations improve healthy food options and build effective community partnerships that improve combat readiness and advance the overall health of the military community;
- understand the nature of farmers markets, how they benefit a community, and the different types and structures of markets that exist;
- determine if it is appropriate and feasible for an installation to host a market;
- determine the optimal type, frequency, and management of a market on an installation;
- develop a plan of action that sets a market up for success; and
- provide resources to facilitate the establishment and implementation of a market.

Wind farm developers make turbines look smaller than they actually are when applying for planning permission in order to "trick" councils into giving them the go-ahead, a leading architect has warned.
Alan MacDonald, an architect based in Inverness, says that computer-generated images of turbines in planning applications are often little more than "artifice".
Small changes in the size of the photo, the angle at which it is taken, the zoom on the camera and how it is presented can all make turbines look smaller, he said.
His concerns have been accepted by Scottish National Heritage, which issues planning guidance on "wind farm visualisation" across the whole of the UK.
Brendan Turvey, policy and advice manager for renewables at SNH, said developers have "definitely" made turbines look smaller than they are.
He said one of the biggest problem is pictures of the landscape being taken at a distance and then shrunk to fit into a report so that the turbines also appear to be smaller.
SNH is currently consulting on new guidance that will ask wind farm developers to use a 75mm focal length and present the photograph on a much larger piece of paper.
Mr MacDonald said developers commonly use a wide-angle lens and zoom out because this gives a wider context of the landscape.
However the wider the angle and the further away the zoom, the smaller the objects in the picture will look.
In the most extreme cases a turbine can be made to look four times smaller than the reality, according to Mr MacDonald.
Expert analysis shows that a much more accurate picture of what people living by the wind turbine will see is using a single frame and 75mm focal length.
Mr MacDonald, a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, said developers are misleading people by presenting photographs that do not accurately represent what the wind farm will look like.
"Local people are being misled about the potential visual impact of such large structures," he said.
At the moment there are just over 3,000 wind turbines onshore and more than 500 offshore in the UK but the number on land could more than double while turbines offshore will increase by ten times in the next decade.
As well as the 3,358 onshore turbines already built around Britain, there are more than 3,000 consented and more than 2,000 in planning.
Many are stuck in planning because the protests of local people who believe the turbines will ruin the landscape.
The National Trust is fighting at least half a dozen applications for wind farms at the moment because of the feared impact on the countryside.
The University of Stirling also found photographs submitted as part of the planning process can be misleading.
The report said that the industry standard of using a 50mm lens does not represent the landscape accurately enough in a printed picture.
Renewable UK, that represents the wind industry, said developers are working closely with SNH and others to ensure wind farm visualisation is correct.

Public awareness of environmental health issues has increased significantly in recent years, creating the need for detailed scientific studies that can identify potential environmental problems. This paper reports the results of hydrogeochemical surveys carried out in Sardinia, an Italian region with a long mining history. When mining operations in Sardinia ceased, actions for limiting the potential adverse effects of mine closure on the water system were not undertaken. Drainages from flooded mines and seeps from mining residues left on the ground are the main mining-related sources of contamination in Sardinia. Due to the proximity of mining sites to water resources and land that is within reach of animals and humans, the major risks to human health are associated with the direct discharge of contaminated waters into the streams and soils located down-gradient of the abandoned mines. Results of hydrogeochemical surveys carried out under different seasonal conditions showed that the dispersion of toxic and harmful elements (As, Cd, Ni, Pb, Sb and Zn) increases during the rainy season, especially under high runoff conditions. These results should help regional and national authorities to address present environmental regulations, particularly those regarding the quality of water resources. Furthermore, the results might be useful elsewhere for planning remediation actions at abandoned mining sites. Lessons learned by past mining in Sardinia indicate that correct disposal and management of mining residues should be mandatory from the beginning of exploitation and processing at each active mine. This would allow reduction of the environmental risks as well as the cost of remediation.

Scientists studied fire fountains from the phase-34 eruption (August 1984) of Pu'u O'o in Hawaii to investigate the dispersal and cooling of ejected materials. In this view, the incandescent part of the plume is approximately 200 meters high. Large clasts from this fire fountain retained their heat to such an extent that they coalesced on the ground to form a lava flow that moved away from the vent (at right in this view). Pu'u O'o is located about 15 kilometers downrift from the summit of Kilauea Caldera, on the East Rift Zone.

Transversality of homoclinic orbits to hyperbolic equilibria in a Hamiltonian system, via the Hamilton-Jacobi equation
Document typeExternal research report
Rights accessOpen Access
The key point of our approach is to write the invariant manifolds in terms of generating functions, which are solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In some examples, we show that it is enough to analyse the phase portrait of the Riccati equation without solving it explicitly. Finally, we consider an analogous problem in a perturbative situation. If the invariant manifolds of the unperturbed loop coincide, we have a problem of splitting of separatrices. In this case, the Riccati equation is replaced by a Mel0nikov potential defined as an integral, providing a condition for the existence of a perturbed loop and its transversality. This is also illustrated with a concrete example.
