Q: how to get React chartjs to resize back down with window I have this code, which, for some reason, will grow when I resize a window, but not shrink. I was wondering how to remedy this.
https://codesandbox.io/s/react-chartjs-2-example-1nur4
import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import LineDemo from "./LineDemo";

const styles = {
  fontFamily: "sans-serif",
  textAlign: "center"
};

const App = () => (

        {Array.from({ length: 4 }, el => "foo")
          .concat(<LineDemo />)
          .map(el => (
            {el}
          ))}

);

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

A: Have a detailed look at https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/configuration/responsive.html. The Important Note section mentions how responsiveness can be achieved. It states that

Chart.js uses its parent container to update the canvas render and display sizes. However, this method requires the container to be relatively positioned and dedicated to the chart canvas only. Responsiveness can then be achieved by setting relative values for the container size.

In your case, the parent container for the line chart is the
 element. The render function of LineDemo component in LineDemo.js file then can be modified to look like:
render() {
  return (

Line Example

      <Line ref="chart" data={data} />

  );
}

Here is a working example: https://codesandbox.io/s/react-chartjs-2-example-hzygw

A: What worked for me was to add chart container a width style:

    <Bar options={options} data={data} />

However if I set width 100% it won't work lol

Developing physical medium
Bev Davey
by Bev Davey Tue Mar 31, 2015 5:05 pm
Paul held a "trance night" some months ago - here are my thoughts on the event:
20 or so of us attended by invitation/ticket. We were allocated seats in the circle but were first given an introductory talk by Claire – the circle leader.
The hall had been completely blacked out, and we were told that the séance would be mostly in total darkness, with the occasional use of a red light when necessary. We were all required to remove our shoes and had to leave personal belongings, including watches and jewellery outside the circle.
I have no reason to doubt the integrity of Paul or any of the circle members – they have been sitting regularly for quite some time in order for Paul to develop his trance. He is a medium, having suddenly become aware of the spirit world following an operation as a child. The events I witnessed could easily be reproduced by a trickster – but what would be the motive? I have known Paul and Claire from many years attending the same church. A charge was made for attendance, but this was to cover expenses, with the remainder going to charity. Whilst I am a sceptic, I took this experimental evening at face value, and am recording my observations.
We had allocated seating, and took our places about 7.45. We were all searched on entering the circle. Within the circle, on the floor, were two séance trumpets (with luminous bands) and a football (with luminous patches) plus a bell and some small toys. A circle member had created a "cabinet" for Paul to sit in. It was constructed from one wide internal door at the rear and four standard internal doors joined together along each side – there was a fabric covering over the top, and a curtain at the front. It was positioned to one side of the circle. Within this was eventually placed a fireside-type arm chair with a seat and back pad. Paul entered the circle wearing just a light track suit – two members of our group, who had not attended Paul's séances before were asked to search him, and to secure him to the chair with cable ties around each wrist and arm-rest and around each ankle and the chair legs. Loops had been screwed to the chair to facilitate this.
The curtain was closed and Claire opened the proceedings in prayer, then played some music. The red light was now turned off.
We had been told to expect Paul to go into a deep trance, and for spirit persons to try to use his voice-box to communicate. Spirit side communicators for the circle were George (an educated man); Clive (who they called the doctor); Thomas (manifesting as a ten-year old child); Storm Cloud – Paul's main guide (a native American Indian) and Able, who was considered a "high guide"
Fairly quickly, the first voice was heard. Thomas. He seemed to be a cheeky chap whose main purpose was to raise the vibrations and get people laughing – he was certainly successful in that. Other communicators came through and said a few words. Being a bit deaf I am afraid I did not catch everything. It was explained why we had to remove our shoes (dirty particles from outside could be brought in, and when the ectoplasm produced during the circle re-entered Paul's body they could be carried in too, and cause problems). Occasionally, the communicant asked Claire to switch on the red light, open the curtain, and check that Paul was ok. The spirit people came and went, at times speaking at the same time. A couple of messages were relayed to sitters, and on at least one occasion were given direct. Sarah (one of the group) had her father speak to her directly, though rather feint, not using Paul's voice-box – known as Direct Voice Phenomena.
Thomas spoke to me, and I was having a bit of difficulty hearing and understanding him. There was a bit of chit-chat about my dog (Paul had seen me with Rosie during the previous week) and about how I was.
At various times in the séance the ball, in particular, and the two trumpets were moved around the floor. All the while there were various knocking/tapping noises within the hall. At times a dark pink mist seemed to be present.
Another occasion arose when Claire was asked to check on Paul. She put on the red light and we were all amazed to see that the entire cabinet was now in the middle of the room. Soon Thomas came back and said "I've moved closer to you Bev so you can hear me" Plenty of laughter from the group at that
A later check on Paul revealed the pad from the back of his chair was on the floor, and his shirt had been removed – now just round his wrists. We were told by (George?) that Paul was getting too hot.
All the while the communicants were talking - relaying messages and expressing themselves. At one time Thomas asked a cheeky question of one of the sitters, who replied "you're too young for me to tell you that, to which Thomas reposted "I'm three hundred years old" More laughter! (We had been told that he died as a child).
George came through and spoke at some depth about the trance work before bidding us farewell – the others also took their leave. Then there was a thump. Claire was asked to play some music whilst Paul came out of the trance and eventually the red light was put on. The cabinet was now back where it had been. Claire opened the curtain to check on Paul and we were all able to see that the chair in which he was secured had been completely turned round (no room to have done that within the cabinet itself).
Paul came too, and I asked him if he had any recollections of the séance – he had none. He said he heard the music, then seemed to be lifted away and knew no more until that moment. He had been in deep trance for 2 hours and 40 minutes. (The longest Paul had ever been in trance)
A very interesting and enjoyable evening! Like all séances, it was an experiment, and progress is sure to be made with direct voice and, hopefully, materialisation. I look forward to the next occasion.

I'm a bit confused.
Why is darkness required for trance? Trance isn't usually classed as physical mediumship.
How do you know when the independent direct voice was used and when the medium's voice of was used?

I'm not doubting your medium, his motives or the details in your report and I'm responding only to your question in the emphasised section above. Who knows what the motives of a trickster might be? They could be many and diverse and only an actual trickster could say what they were, something that's probably unlikely to happen.
It's a sad fact, though, that a good trickster's ways may appear authentic so it's wise to remain cautious when someone isn't well known to you personally.
by Bev Davey Thu Apr 02, 2015 7:38 am
I totally agree Mac. Any decent conjurer/magician could replicate what occurs in a seance by trickery, so it is a rare privilege to actually witness Spirit at work. Paul is holding another semi-public seance this month, and I intend to go.
Obiwan, darkness is not required for trance, but seems to be a pre-requisite to physical mediumship - and in turn this seems to require that the medium be in deep trance. There have been physical seances held in the light, but I have not witnessed them. Paul was inside the cabinet, and voices were heard to come from other locations, so it was quite easy to distinguish when his own voice box was being used

Physical mediumship has been demonstrated when not in deep trance, by both past-age mediums and some more modern ones.
by obiwan Fri Apr 03, 2015 4:33 pm
Thanks Bev. I recall Leslie Flint wasn't usually in trance at all for his physical mediumship ie the independent direct voice and in fact there seem to be examples of him actually joining in the discussions with purported communicators, so I presume you mean this medium needed to be in trance.
What was the evidential content of the mediumship in your view Bev?
by normy Sat Apr 04, 2015 9:24 am
Bev. am I right in thinking that the communicators all spoke through Paul in trance, except the one faint independent direct voice you mentioned? Did any of the communicators give evidence of their identity, to anyone who was present and knew them in physical life?
by Bev Davey Sun Apr 05, 2015 4:07 pm
As I made clear at the start, Paul is a developing medium, and a lot of what happened was experimental. As far as I can recall, there was some verbal evidence given and accepted, and things were moved around independently of the sitters and medium.

This opening statement and this closing question are the gist of any séance or display of mediumship. A trickster can put on an interesting show. Only a medium can provide evidence that could not have been obtained from any earthly source.

Hi Bev, this was not always the case materialisation has changed to being only in the dark, this was not how full form materialisation really started. Unfortunately the transition to darkness coincided with a great increase in fraud. Indeed if you look around this thread you will see the decision to ban dark séances in 1882 ( https://www.spiritualismlink.com/t2043-light-magazine-and-psychological-review-against-dark-seances#16351 ). As you can see this was supported by an impressive list of mediums.

Hi Bev - intresting - ho is Paul ?
and thanks fore sharing - I agree whit the others - why trance in a physical cirkel at al ?
It feels that this Paul are putting him self oute fare to erlie in public . it is not developt jett.
by Bev Davey Thu Apr 30, 2015 7:47 pm
Paul put on another seance last Saturday, and things have developed quite well. Most of the communication was "direct voice", and things, including Paul (secured in his chair) and the cabinet itself, were all moved about the room. He only does three semi-public seances a year, but sits in circle twice a week for the required development.

A 3D PRINTED DRESS BY IRIS VAN HERPEN
Robots are also part of fashion as demonstrated by the fashion designer Iris van Herpen was born on June 5, 1984 the Netherlands graduated from ArtEZen Arnhem University of the Arts in 2006 and did an internship at Alexander McQueen in London and Claudy Jongstra in Amsterdam before launching her own label in 2007.The Dutch The designer debuted her first haute couture collection, 'Chemical Crows', at Amsterdam Fashion Week 2007. She is known for being known for combining technology with traditional haute couture crafts.
The futuristic vision of this designer has managed to create a different artistic expression and value.
On this occasion the designer created a 3D printed mesh dress while the models show off your latest creations on the catwalk.
Quaquaversal (go in all directions from the center) is the project where actress Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne in Game of Thrones, is surrounded by three robotic arms that perform 3D printing, laser cutting and weaving to create a dress. circulate live during the Spring Summer 2016 fashion show.
The robots are covered in a sharp material that was developed with magnets by designer Jólanvan der Wiel, who has already worked with Van Herpen to make clothes and shoes using the same system.
Van Herpen comments, "The live process combines different techniques such as laser cutting, hand knitting and 3D printing in a single dress, stretching from the center, Quaquaversal in its geometries."
As a result, she designs a dress that has been woven around the model by interlacing an architectural mesh. A dress that is made directly on a person in real time, starting from the center and expanding in all directions creating a circle.
Only a few fashion designers, like Iris Van Herpen, have made a fierce attempt to introduce 3D printing and digital fabrication technology into new haute couture clothing design and styling methods.
Like other works by Iris Van Herpen, the series is inspired by natural forms. Specifically, in this case, living trees are bridged in India. She said on her website
Interpreting natural lines and processes in manufacturing is a new possibility in digital manufacturing and 3D printing.
With the integration of new technologies, many creative alternatives are opened even in the fashion industry.

Alberta FAQs >Families & Relationships >Marriage
How old do I have to be to get married?
If you are 18 years or older, you can marry without your parents' permission.
If you are 16 or 17 years old, you can marry if you have your parent or guardian's permission or a court order allowing you to get married.
You cannot marry in Alberta if you are under 16 years of age.
When I get married, do I have to take my husband's last name?
No. Changing a last name upon marriage is a custom only and has never been a legal requirement. When you get married, there are several options available to you. You may keep your own last name, you may take your husband's name, or you may use a combination of your last names (such as Smith-Jones or Jones-Smith).
It is also possible to use your husband's last name for social purposes while continuing to use your own last name for legal purposes, such as your passport, bank accounts, driver's licence and so on. The important thing is that you must not use both names in an attempt to defraud someone.
If you do decide to use your husband's last name, it is not necessary to inform the Department of Vital Statistics. However, you will have to arrange to have all your personal documents changed to reflect your new name. You should contact your bank to arrange to change your name on your accounts, credit cards and banking cards, and the federal government to deal with documents such as your social insurance number and passport. Your driver's licence should also be changed. Do not forget such important documents as insurance policies and your health care number.
Your husband has the same options available to him. He may keep his name, take your name or use a combination of both.

We would like to write our own marriage vows. Are there some things that we must include?
The things that must be included according to the Marriage Act (Alberta) (see link below) are quite simple. The marriage must be performed by a member of the clergy registered under the Act or a marriage commissioner appointed under the Act. Registries of these persons are maintained. The Marriage Act also states that there must be two adult, credible witnesses. For a complete list of permanent marriage commissioners see the Marriage Commissioner Listing on the Service Alberta website or contact an Alberta registry agent office.
There are only two requirements in the Act for words that must be used in the ceremony when it is performed by a marriage commissioner. Each of you must say: "I do solemnly declare that I do not know of any lawful impediment why I (state name) may not be joined in matrimony to (state name)", and each of you must say to the other: "I call upon those persons present to witness that I do take you, to be my lawful wedded wife (husband)." Apart from these words, any words or vows that you choose to make may be included.
If you are having a church wedding, you should consult with your minister to make sure that your choices are acceptable. Both of you must understand the language used in the ceremony, or else an interpreter must be present to interpret and explain clearly to both the meaning of the ceremony.
What laws must we follow to get married?
In Canada, both the federal government and the provinces have some power over marriage. The federal government has two federal Acts dealing with marriage, specifically the Marriage (Prohibited Degrees) Act and the Marriage for Civil Purposes Act. Both Acts are quite short.
The Marriage (Prohibited Degrees) Act (see link below) lists persons, such as brothers and sisters, who may not marry because they are too closely related by blood or adoption. The Civil Marriage Act 2005 c 33 (see link below) recognizes marriage between persons of the same sex in that it defines marriage as the union of two people to the exclusion of all others. The Act goes on to protect the rights of religious officials to decline to perform a marriage ceremony that is not in accordance with their religious beliefs. In addition, the Act states specifically that same-sex spouses cannot be deprived of any benefit or subjected to any obligation or punishment by law solely because they have chosen to exercise their freedom to marry.
Except for these federal laws, the provinces make the laws concerning marriage. In Alberta, this law is called the Marriage Act (see link below). This Act deals with a number of things necessary for legal marriages:
capacity to marry;
the rules that must be followed;
the people who may perform marriage; and
the penalties for failure to follow the law.
What does "capacity to marry" mean?
To have the capacity to marry, you must have the physical, mental, and legal ability to marry. Physically, you must be able to consummate the marriage. Mentally, you must understand the nature of the ceremony. Legally, you must be 18 years or older and not already married. There are exceptions to the legal age limit. You may marry with your parents' consent if you are under 18 and over 16. Under some circumstances, parental consent may not be necessary if a judge says so. You may marry under the age of 16 if you get a letter from a medical doctor saying that you are the mother of a living child or you are pregnant.
There are some particular rules that apply to you if you have a mental handicap. The Marriage Act says that no one shall issue a marriage licence or perform a marriage ceremony if he or she has reason to believe that you are the subject of a guardianship or trusteeship order or a certificate of incapacity under the Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act. In that case, your guardian or trustee must be given 14 days notice of your application for a marriage licence or of the marriage ceremony, or you must provide the marriage licence issuer with a letter from a medical doctor stating that you understand what marriage is and the duties and responsibilities involved.
Do we need a license to marry?
Yes, you must get a marriage license. You can apply for a marriage license at most provincial registry offices. Look in the Yellow Pages under Registries or click the link below to find a registry near you. See the question below for the documents you will need to bring with you. The marriage license will be issued while you wait at the registry.
The government fee for a marriage license is $40.00 and then registries charge a service fee on top of that. Service fees can vary between registries.
A marriage license is valid for 3 months from the date of issue so the wedding ceremony must take place within that time. You must give the marriage license to the person performing your marriage.
The person performing your marriage must send the completed marriage license to the Alberta government for registration within 48 hours of the ceremony. Once the marriage is registered, you can order a marriage certificate as proof of your marriage. You will not automatically get one. Orders can be placed at most provincial registry offices for a fee.
What documents do we need to apply for a marriage license?
To apply for a marriage license, you and your spouse-to-be must go to the registry office together. You must fill out some forms with personal information and swear or affirm an affidavit that the information given is true. You must provide identification that proves your age.
You may need other documents, depending on your situation:
You cannot apply for a marriage license if you are still married to someone else. If you are divorced, you will need to show proof that the divorce is final, such as a Certificate of Divorce or Decree Absolute. The divorce document must be in English. If it is in another language, you will need to get it translated. Check with a registry agent for translation requirements.
If you are widowed, you do not need to bring a death certificate.
If your previous marriage was annulled, you must show a copy of the court order annulling the marriage.
A marriage license cannot be issued and a marriage ceremony cannot be held if either spouse-to-be is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
No medical information or blood tests are required, except under rare circumstances.
What happens if we break the laws about getting married?
There are a number of penalties in the Marriage Act (Alberta) if you fail to obey the law. However, there is also a way to remedy the situation so that your marriage itself is not invalid. If you make a false statement on your sworn application for a marriage licence, you may be fined up to $500, and if you do not pay, you might be sent to jail for up to 30 days.
If a person issues a marriage licence or performs a marriage ceremony contrary to the Act, he or she may face the same penalties. However, it is important to know that there is a section that says that your marriage will not be invalid just because the licensing person or the person who performed the ceremony didn't follow the Act, and a judge may order that the marriage is lawful. This means that if the registry where you obtain your licence makes some sort of mistake in the preparation of your application, your marriage won't be invalid. Also, if you find out after the ceremony that your minister or marriage commissioner didn't have the power to marry you, your marriage will still be valid, although you may have to apply for a judge's order that says so.
If you or your spouse is under age, and you were married without having the necessary consents from parents or guardians, your marriage will still be valid if you had sex before marriage, if you have had sex since the ceremony, or if you are living together as husband and wife.
I would really like my best friend to marry my fiancé and I. Is this possible?
Yes. The Alberta Government can issue temporary marriage commissioner appointments for one day only. To apply for a temporary appointment, a person must be:
a permanent resident of Canada
The person is only allowed to perform a civil (non-religious) marriage ceremony in Alberta. There is no charge to apply, and the person cannot charge a fee for performing a marriage.
The person cannot hold themselves out as being a permanent marriage commissioner or solicit business as one.
The application process takes at least 2 weeks so make sure you have enough time. The person applying for the temporary appointment as well as the two people getting married must all sign the application form.

My fiancé and I want to get married in a foreign country. Can we do this?
Yes, as long as you meet all the requirements of the authority responsible for marriage in the country where you want to get married.
You should establish what those requirements are before you leave Canada. Often your travel agent or the hotel where you will be staying can provide this information. You can also perform a search on the Internet or contact the country's consulate office.
Note: It is important to ensure that you receive a marriage certificate from the country where your marriage takes place as proof of your marital status.
Additional information regarding marriage in a foreign country is available on the Canadian Consular Affairs website (see link below).
My spouse and I live in Alberta but were married in a foreign country. Do we have to register our marriage in Alberta?
No. Only marriages that took place in Alberta are registered by Alberta Vital Statistics.
Your marriage will be registered in the country where it took place as long as you met all the local requirements. Your marriage certificate, issued by the country's authority responsible for marriage, is proof of your marital status.

user1@user1:~$ mkdir test2
user1@user1:~$ mkdir test/orig
user1@user1:~$ touch test/file1
user1@user1:~$ touch test/orig/file2
user1@user1:~$ ls test
file1  orig
user1@user1:~$ ls test/orig
file2
user1@user1:~$ cp -r test/orig/. test2
user1@user1:~$ ls test2
file2

but once i try to omit the subdirectory with globbing it copies the parent as well:
user1@user1:~$ rm test2/*
user1@user1:~$ ls test2
user1@user1:~$ mkdir test/orig/.sub
user1@user1:~$ cp -r test/orig/!(.sub) test2
cp: will not create hard link 'test2/orig' to directory 'test2/.'
user1@user1:~$ ls test2
file1  file2

printing what's in the expanded expression shows it actually is translated to 3 terms one of which is the parent directory:
user1@user1:~$ echo test/orig/!(.sub)
test/orig/. test/orig/.. test/orig/file2

is this a bug in bash or am i not using the glob correctly?

A: I don't know if this is the intended behavior, but it seems that it can be avoided by using the GLOBIGNORE variable to restrict those patterns:
$ echo test/orig/!(.sub)
test/orig/. test/orig/.. test/orig/file2
$ GLOBIGNORE='?(*/)@(.|..)*(/)'; echo test/orig/!(.sub)
test/orig/file2

A Jesuit College Preparatory Experience
Loyola Academy strives to be the leading Jesuit college preparatory faith and education center in the United States
Our mission is TO FORM WOMEN AND MEN for meaningful lives of leadership and service in imitation of Jesus Christ through a college preparatory education in the Jesuit, Catholic tradition.
Loyola Academy's commitment to providing a formative educational experience results in graduates who are leaders of competence, conscience and compassion.
We encourage our students to remain physically fit, promoting lifelong wellness habits and practices for the care and stewardship of the body.
Cura Personalis, care for the whole person, is at the core of our Jesuit mission.
Loyola is not just a school community, but a warm and welcoming faith community that offers many opportunities for Ramblers and their parents to grow closer to God and each other.
With St. Ignatius Loyola, we are impelled to ask, "What more can we do? What is God calling us to do today?"
All Eight National Merit Semifinalists Advance to Finalist Standing
All eight of Loyola Academy's National Merit semifinalists, named by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) in September, have advanced to finalist standing. The NMSC honors individual students who show exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
All winners of Merit Scholarship awards are chosen from the finalist group based on their abilities, skills and accomplishments as demonstrated by their academic record, information about the school's curriculum and grading system, test scores, the finalist's own essay and more.
These academically talented high school seniors are one step closer to securing some of the 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth approximately $33 million that will be awarded in the spring.
The Loyola community congratulates the following eight members of the senior class:
Matthew E. Brun
"One of the best parts of Loyola has been the community," says Matthew E. Brun, who remembers easily finding his niche at Loyola through the band community. "From there, I met more and more interesting and kind people each year through my classes and cocurricular activities." From band to the chess team, JETS/WYSE and mock trial to classes in advanced math and ancient Latin, Matthew credits Loyola with helping him "develop a well-rounded and informed sense of the world." Matthew has volunteered at Madonna Mission where he tutors refugee grade school children and has participated in Engineering Projects in Community Service (E.P.I.C.S.), a Loyola service club that identifies needs within the community and addresses them with technical solutions. In college, he plans to study math and computer science and possibly pick up a minor in Classics. During his free time, he dabbles in computer programming and has written a handful of iOS apps. Most recently, Matthew wrote an app that enables Loyola teachers to input their free periods so students can view them. He hopes to work in the technology industry where he can apply both mathematics and computer programming.
Maximilian K. Calk
An active member of the Loyola Academy Marching Band (LAMB) for four years, Maximilian K. Calk has recently been named band president, captain of the Basketball Pep Band and Drum Major—three honors that speak to his musical talent and his commitment to Loyola's band program. And, for the third consecutive year, Maximilian will serve as a member of the pit orchestra for this year's spring musical, Little Women. While music has provided a creative outlet for Maximilian to excel, he plans to pursue degrees in both mathematics and business. "I have a special interest in sports statistics and data," he says. "I dream of one day working in the front office of a professional sports team." It comes as no surprise, then, that some of his favorite classes at Loyola have been statistics with Mr. Brabeck, calculus with Ms. Thelander and microeconomics with Ms. Wysocki. "I credit Loyola for helping me realize my interest in statistics and economics and giving me opportunities to serve the less fortunate," he notes. Maximilian called his urban plunge summer service trip to Cincinnati, volunteering at a soup kitchen and doing light home repair through Franciscans for the Poor, a valuable, eye-opening experience.
Louisa M. Edwards
"My experience at Loyola has helped me to try new things and given me leadership roles," says student-athlete Louisa M. Edwards, who has spent four years on the cross-country, track and field and basketball teams. "Most importantly, Loyola has provided me with opportunities to engage in service, which I think is really important." Louisa volunteers at Sacred Heart Convent in Wilmette where she socializes with and serves dinner to retired nuns. She's also a student leader of Pax Christi at Loyola and spent part of her summer in West Virginia on a service trip. In the classroom, Louisa's favorite class was AP Chemistry with Ms. Michels, and she is a member of the French Honor Society. In college, Louisa plans to continue to foster her diverse interests. "I'm undecided about what I want to major in, but I want to study a wide variety of topics—math, writing, science, health, computer science and maybe French or Spanish."
Henry J. Kroeger
As a self-described computer science buff who builds computers, codes and has a special interest in blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Henry J. Kroeger has never backed down from a challenge. He's an engineer-in-the-making with his sights set on the rapidly evolving technology sector. But when he's not in the classroom or thinking about his future tech startup, Henry can be found at Family Focus in Evanston, working with underprivileged children as a tutor and role model. "Loyola has provided me with a competitive environment that has pushed me to achieve," Henry says. "It has also connected me with both inspirational teachers and driven students who share my interest in learning and growing as a person." What's Henry's favorite class at Loyola? AP Physics C with Mr. Steven Lowe. "I enjoy the difficulty of the class," he says. "It pushes me to my mental limits."
Emily M. Molins
Emily M. Molins is a dedicated student-athlete who strives for excellence both in and out of the classroom. "Loyola has been a place where I can balance academics with athletics," she says. A three-year member of the girls' varsity rowing team, Emily balances her time between practice, a demanding course load and a number of cocurriculars and hobbies. She is a Clavius Scholar and member of Pax Christi and participates on the Moody's Mega Math (M3) challenge team. This summer, Emily was accepted to Stanford University where she will row on the lightweight women's crew team.
Merrill D. O'Shaughnessy
When she's not carrying out her responsibilities as a member of Insignis or the LA Way leadership program, Merrill D. O'Shaughnessy is the current president of the Connection for the Homeless Junior Board. In this role, she does everything from cooking and assisting staff to running contests and fundraisers that benefit the organization. "I love working there and meeting interesting people from diverse backgrounds," she says. After school, Merrill works as a research assistant in the molecular genetics and biochemistry department at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine—an experience that will help prepare her for college where she plans to study biomedical engineering. "Loyola's academic environment is competitive and challenging in a way that pushed me to take classes I would have never seen myself in—like Physics C—but it also enabled me to pursue my passions through classes like AP Art."
Jason W. Vrbancic
"Loyola has offered everything I could ask for in terms of academics, athletics and cocurriculars," says Jason W. Vrbancic, who has learned to balance his time as a four-year baseball player with a science-heavy course load, service work at Sunrise Senior Assisted Living and Madonna Mission and as a member of Loyola's Pax Christi. A Clavius Scholar, Jason developed a passion for science in classes like AP Biology with Mrs. Gina Gnoffo and AP Physics C with Mr. Steven Lowe. "Both courses have been difficult, but I relish the challenges they have put in front of me," he says. In college, Jason plans to pursue his interest in the STEM fields and study either mechanical or biomedical engineering.
Gina Yoo
"Loyola has taught me the value of hard work and perseverance—that I get back what I put into my work," says Loyola Academy Symphonic Orchestra member Gina Yoo, who also plays in the Lincolnwood Youth String Orchestra. In addition to being a skilled musician—she's been playing the violin since the fourth grade—Gina's interests are as diverse as her talents. She is an avid reader, serves the Loyola community as a member of the Torch Club and has rowed on the girls' crew team for three years. Service work has been a part of Gina's high school experience since freshman year, and volunteering at a child care center during her junior year was particularly impactful. As a senior, Gina is learning computer programming in her computer science course, which she calls both challenging and fun. In college, she plans to study Biology.

Protecting Students
Loyola Academy admits students of any race, color and national origin or ethnic origin.


As part of the celebrations marking the completion of its new Central Golden Hall, Kohfukuji Temple is holding a special exhibition featuring a number of Buddhist images designated Japanese national treasures. These include the eighth-century dry-lacquer sculpture of the Ashura, perhaps the most famous Buddhist statue in Japan today.
In the 1,300 years since its original construction, the Kohfukuji Central Golden Hall was lost to fire a total of seven times. The most recent fire occurred in 1717, following which more than a century passed before a scaled-down temporary hall was finally erected in 1819. This building was dismantled in the year 2000 to make way for a new structure that reproduces the size and architectural style to the original Nara-period building as accurately as possible. After almost two decades of construction, this new hall is finally nearing completion, and is scheduled to be dedicated in October of 2018.
In addition to the image of the Ashura, a number of other Japanese National Treasures, including the 8th-century dry-lacquer images of the Eight Kinds of Mythological Beings and the Ten Great Disciples, the Kongō Rikishi (Vajra Warriors), and the Gong known as "Kagenkei" are also on display in the Temporary Lecture Hall. Moreover, the principal image of this hall, a sculpture of the Buddha Amida (Skt. Amitābha) that dates to the late Heian Period (12th century) is being exhibited to the public for the first time. The exhibition will run from spring to early summer, and then reopen once more in early fall.

Gun group says no to Petraeus for Secretary of State
Written by Brian Seay Published: 03 December 2016
"As Secretary of State, Petraeus would play a key role in deciding whether to remove the U.S. from the UN Arms Trade Treaty," reads a post from the Gun Owners of America. "This agreement would mandate gun registration, and would authorize comprehensive gun bans — all goals supported by Petraeus' colleagues Kelly and Giffords."
As President-elect Donald Trump continues to build his cabinet, gun groups are coming out hard against his potential Secretary of State pick David Petraeus.
"Having a Secretary of State who openly advocates for more gun control, and who has the ability to reinterpret regulations without Congressional oversight, would be disastrous for gun owners, hobbyist gunsmiths, and manufacturers," reads a petition posted by the Firearms Policy Coalition on their website.
Petraeus, a retired general and former CIA director, is part of an advisory committee for the Veterans Coalition for Common Sense, a group that works to "urge elected leaders to do more to prevent gun tragedies." The group was co-founded by retired astronaut Mark Kelly, the husband of former Sen. Gabrielle Giffords.
Trump is mulling three other men for the job, including former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker.
But gun groups are most up in arms over Petraeus. "As Secretary of State, Petraeus would play a key role in deciding whether to remove the U.S. from the UN Arms Trade Treaty," reads a post from the Gun Owners of America. "This agreement would mandate gun registration, and would authorize comprehensive gun bans — all goals supported by Petraeus' colleagues Kelly and Giffords."

Could partnering with a leading digital marketing agency increase your ROI?
Digital marketing today is no easy task. While it may be manageable if you're lucky enough to have a large in-house team, for many organisations there simply isn't the time to devote to acquiring the necessary expertise to generate better ROI. Plus, even for those businesses with the most extensive resources, in-house efforts are often simply not cost effective in terms of return on investment. But could partnering with a leading digital marketing agency actually increase your ROI?
Digital marketing is a fast paced world and it's often difficult to identify the most effective solutions without the right experience. For a leading digital marketing agency, being at the cutting edge of developments in the industry comes as standard, along with a wealth of proven experience in how to achieve results. With an agency partner you'll have access to extensive marketing resources, industry specialists and a team up to date with the latest insights, from content trends to algorithm changes.
The cost of a full time marketing team in-house is usually far in excess of what you might pay to work with a partner agency. Economies of scale mean that you can pay less for more specialist advice because you're not engaging with it every hour of every working day. So, not only are you likely to get a better quality of marketing service by partnering with an agency – and one that delivers increased ROI – but you'll pay less for it too.
Being inside the business often means that you have little perspective on it when it comes to marketing. You may be very wedded to concepts and techniques that are not working - but unable to see where the solution lies. An objective third party with depth of experience is the ideal way to break through that tunnel vision in order to make your marketing efforts more efficient and make your marketing spend go further.
When you're handling all the marketing in-house then every tiny task falls to you – and many simply get pushed further and further down the list. The reality may be that it's simply not efficient for you to handle every single task, only those you're actually good at. With the help of a leading digital marketing agency you can streamline workflows, funneling off the tasks that would be optimally completed by the agency and focusing your available time where you can really add value.
A partnership with a marketing agency isn't about taking all your marketing efforts off-site and leaving you dependent on an external team. Instead, it can empower your business to do more with whatever resources you have, whether that's with extensive agency support or just a little.
Iconic Digital is a leading digital marketing agency providing a range of options for businesses looking to improve ROI in marketing. Contact us to find out more.

Facebook hit with three privacy investigations in a single day
Zack Whittaker @zackwhittaker / 4 years
Third time lucky — unless you're Facebook.
The social networking giant was hit Thursday by a trio of investigations over its privacy practices following a particularly tumultuous month of security lapses and privacy violations — the latest in a string of embarrassing and damaging breaches at the company, much of its own doing.
First came a probe by the Irish data protection authority looking into the breach of "hundreds of millions" of Facebook and Instagram user passwords that were stored in plaintext on its servers. The company will be investigated under the European GDPR data protection law, which could lead to fines of up to four percent of its global annual revenue for the infringing year — already some several billions of dollars.
Then, Canadian authorities confirmed that the beleaguered social networking giant broke its strict privacy laws, reports TechCrunch's Natasha Lomas. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada said it plans to take Facebook to federal court to force the company to correct its "serious contraventions" of Canadian privacy law. The findings came in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which vacuumed up more than 600,000 profiles of Canadian citizens.
Lastly, and slightly closer to home, Facebook was hit by its third investigation — this time by New York attorney general Letitia James. The state chief law enforcer is looking into the recent "unauthorized collection" of 1.5 million user email addresses, which Facebook used for profile verification, but inadvertently also scraped their contact lists.
"It is time Facebook is held accountable for how it handles consumers' personal information," said James in a statement. "Facebook has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of respect for consumers' information while at the same time profiting from mining that data."
Facebook spokesperson Jay Nancarrow said the company is "in touch with the New York State attorney general's office and are responding to their questions on this matter."
You might think a trifecta of terrible news would be crushing for the social network. Alas, its stock is up close to 6 percent at market close, adding some $40 billion to its value.

Keep jumping from time to time to prevent your Locoroco from straying or jumping from an edge. Reach the Chuppa, then fire at it when it tilts backwards almost all the way.
At the Main Menu, if you don't press anything for awhile, you will notice the LocoRocos will play around and proceed to a playground designed. However, there is an alternate path in which they will go. Let them proceed through the following: Dokkola and cannon, wheels, Chuppa, Nyokki, whatever that soundwave is, air current, and Mui Mui crevice. When they reach the rotating bowl, start tapping the right shoulder button (you will hear a sound). Then the Mui Mui will pull a right lever, causing the bowl to tip right. The LocoRocos now go through an alternate playground.
Collect all three pieces of the indicated map to unlock the corresponding bonus level.
BuiBui Fort 3: Smudged Map.
To defeat the third Moja Boss, jump and hit her eyes. To do this, wait for her lip to raise up so you can get close enough to hit them.
To defeat the second Moja Boss, aim at the grey nostril hairs. Once you have one held, press L + R to pull it out. Do this three times to defeat him.
At the very end, she does a lethal charge. Tap Circle to rapid fire, but not too quickly. Keep doing this during the final charge. You should get in enough hits to defeat her.
Get rid of the Moja Bunyo (black clouds) from all levels, including the bonus levels, to unlock the final Boss. To see how many of them are remaining, press Triangle at the world map to zoom out and check the counter.
Expand your MuiMui House and build a MuiMui Crane object. To grab objects with it, press Left or Right to move around as the crane is descending. Keep playing and a BuiBui will eventually appear with a larger claw. This allows some hard to get items easier to obtain.
Complete a level with 20 Locorocos to unlock a short video somewhere on the map and under "One Day..." in the "Memories" menu at the MuiMui House.


Tribes Studies are humans closest to the nature. They tend to be in tune with their surroundings, sometimes, living nomadic life and those, who are away from the technological, urban and sophisticated lives we live!
Tribes are one of our best way of learning about evolution, about how humans tend to adjust, about how there is harmony b/w humans and nature. Since ages, historians have been studying tribes closely and intensively, to study about human adaptation and old ways of living. Life sprang on earth years ago, since then, people have always wanted to know what were the origins of human race, how did they start living, what did they do, etc.
Tribes have their own faiths and believes. Their own cultures are their biggest beliefs. Many tribal people come across as superstitious people, believing in life after death, practising rituals and traditional dances, worshiping the sun and rain Gods.
One of the striking features about tribes is that they do a lot of body adornment. Commonly found out that these people believe that they do not look beautiful and thus, tend to do a lot of body adornment in the form of tattooing, body piercings, hairdos, body painting, head masks, etc. A lot of these body decorations are inspired by the flora and fauna found in their surroundings. These people find things in their surroundings beautiful and use these or parts of them for their adornment. Their are tribes such as the 'Papua' tribe which also followed cannibalism. They are not to be judged, as to what is right and wrong, they are just our way of tracing our origins back. And some form of tribes exist in all parts of the world!

How Have Mobiles Changed How We Get Our Entertainment Fix?
Alkesh Gupta 0 6 months ago
The way we get our entertainment fix has changed over the years – and looks to change even more in the future, especially with the news that Disney is launching its own Netflix-style streaming platform. The entertainment giant not only creates their own endless slate of films, but also own Pixar, Marvel, and LucasFilm.
The Disney+ platform is expected to create a war of the streaming services as it attempts to snatch some of the Netflix and Amazon viewers for its subscription service. But this isn't the only way in which entertainment consumption has changed across entertainment sectors.
Online Gaming Changes
Online gaming is another way in which our tastes have changed. The rise of multiplayer to such a degree after the rise in popularity of Battle Royale games such as Dota 2 and Fortnite has increased the ways in which we can game online with others. The time spent playing doesn't have to be as long and communities can be developed.
Twitch streaming further allows those who play online with others to hone their skills and improve as gamers through tangibly measured levels. Moving towards mobile gaming has also changed with an increase in gamers on the mobile platform.
Statistics on statista.com show that experts expect 2.344 billion active mobile gamers in 2019, up from 2 billion in 2017. Even online slots and casino games, that aren't typically associated with mobile, have found their footing on the platform as coverage of the online casino market on slotsjudge.com demonstrates.
Streaming Overtakes TV
The television is definitely concerned that much of our entertainment consumption has moved over to our mobiles. The most obvious benefit is the fact that we can watch on the go and turn a lengthy commute or cardio session into an opportunity to watch our shows. But it's also changed the way content is created and distributed.
The growth of binge-worthy TV means that the entire function of creating serialized episodic programming has shifted to greater quality over quantity (a series of 10 episodes released at once as opposed to 23 episodes released over 23+ weeks). As such, our viewing habits have also changed to enable us to squeeze the most out of the shows we love and the ability to dip in and out easily, which streaming on mobile allows for.
UK telecoms giant Sky have even tied in with NOW TV to try to win over customers who might want to take advantage of the ability to have the streaming platform, as well as the conventional TV channels.
The way we consume entertainment has changed and a lot of it is down to the amount of time we like to spend on our mobile phones and tablets. The fact that mobile use can rise by over 100% in a few short years shows that the general public is orchestrating the change by adjusting their ideal ways to consume entertainment – and companies are listening and delivering.
If you are interested in even more entertainment-related articles and information from us here at Bit Rebels then we have a lot to choose from.

More from cities
Baton Rouge is a town whose name translates from French as red stick. Baton Rouge is in Louisiana and is the capital of the state. Baton Rouge's population is 229, 553 people. The port of Baton Rouge is the ninth largest port in the United States.
Most of the buildings in Baton Rouge are on the right bank of the river Mississippi. Because of its high altitude, the city was threatened by floods unlike the lower New Orleans, which is located further down river.
City Baton Rouge and surrounding area have for many years been a place where tribes who engaged in hunting and fishing lived. According to archaeologists, the site was inhabited by people eight thousand years BC.
The arrival of Europeans in the seventeenth century and the fight between them resulted in numerous military and territorial conflicts and a long period of instability.
Only in the early nineteenth century the situation had stabilized and the city became U.S. territory. As in other regions of the south, the main occupation until the mid-nineteenth century were plantations, trade on the Mississippi River and slave trade.
The territory of the modern city Baton Rouge has long been inhabited by Indian tribes. Notional boundary between the lands of tribe Houma and Bayou Goula has just crossed the river near the modern city Baton Rouge.
The first Europeans in this marshland were Frenchmen, who arrived in 1699 under the command of Captain Pierre d'Iberville. The first thing the French sailors saw were high cypress, which was decorated with bloody heads and skins of animals and fish. Thus, the Indians marked the boundaries between the lands of Leme. So Frenchmen named this place- Red stick. The name that the Indians used for the land border between the tribes was Istrouma.
After the settlement of Europeans, Baton Rouge was owned by France, the Republic of Florida, Britain, Spain, Louisiana and the United States. In 1849, the city became the capital of Louisiana. The creation of the Capitol building of Baton Rouge was by architect James Dakin, who did not follow the trends of the time to imitate Capitol Building Washington , but instead created a Neo-Gothic medieval castle, which looked to the Mississippi River.
At the beginning of the civil war, Baton Rouge's population amounted to five thousand five hundred people. In the spring of 1862, the Union troops occupied the city. Federal forces tried to retake the city in the summer of that year, but in vain.
In the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century Baton Rouge experienced a boom in the chemical industry, which expanded the city rather than its center. During the nineties, a boom in construction starts in the city Baton Rouge, which continues to this day.
In 2000, Baton Rouge has proven to be one of the fastest growing cities in the south in terms of technology. The population Baton Rouge temporarily increased, because of Hurricane, by two hundred thousand.

Summary:People coming to Beijing to work and pursue their dreams are increasingly meeting with insurmountable frustration. The slowing economy, rising living costs and government policies that disadvantage residents without a Beijing Hukou are combining to see an unprecedented reduction in the city's migrant population.
This is an extended translation from this week's edition of The Economic Observer, for more highlights from the EO print edition, click here.
Wang Hong (王虹) came to Beijing from southern China fresh after graduation to work as an intern at a fashion magazine. She hoped she could stay in the city to follow her dreams, but realized very soon how difficult that would be. Between the high rent and the stressful commute on Beijing's complicated subway system, she got discouraged.
Rent for a room around the outer fifth ring road runs at about 800-1000 yuan per month. But Wang, who grew up in a nice environment, says the living conditions are terrible. On top of that, she sometimes needs to work until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. For safety reasons, she decided to share an apartment close to her workplace in the central business district and pay 2,300 yuan per month.
For a fresh graduate still doing an internship, such rent could only be afforded with help from her parents. One month after arriving, Wang missed home and still hadn't adapted to her new Beijing life.
Over the past two years, high rent and the restrictions on purchasing property and cars for people without a Beijing Hukou [household registration] have prompted many out-of-towners to leave the city. Even those young people who came to Beijing to pursue their dreams have often had to re-think their choices.
Recently, data released by the Beijing Municipal Statistics Bureau showed that in 2011, the city's temporary resident population (暂住人口) was 8.3 million - 600,000 less than in 2010. This was the first annual decline since Beijing started keeping detailed data.
Professor Lu Jiehua (陆杰华) from the Institute of Population Research at Peking University said that the data came from a public security department, which counts temporary residents based on the number of permits issued.
Beijing's overall population still continued to grow in 2011, officially surpassing 20 million people for the first time.
In the past ten years, the number of temporary residents increased by an average of 400,000 people annually, which has put Beijing under pressure. As early as 2007 the city had already surpassed the population size approved by the State Council.
Population control was officially put forward by the city in 2010. The education, healthcare, transportation and civil affairs departments were required to take population control into consideration when formulating policies. All counties and districts were also required to pay attention to population size, structure and layout.
Some people who have a Beijing Hukou living in old town areas of Dongcheng and Xicheng Districts will have to move out. According to the plan, by 2020, nearly 700,000 people will be transferred to Beijing's suburbs. The city has allowed Dongcheng District to build replacement homes in Chaoyang and Tongzhou.
The four districts of Chaoyang, Fengtai, Shijingshan and Haidian also have population control targets. Chaoyang, for example, will try to keep its population below 4 million people within the next five years.
Beijing has also adopted administrative measures to manage the floating population, which have contributed to the 600,000 person decline.
Wang Qiyan (王琪延), an economics professor from Renmin University, said this decline is very rare. According to his analysis, Beijing's economic growth has slowed and demand for migrant workers has fallen. This economic slowdown has also caused incomes to fall and the cost of living to increase, which has also encouraged many to leave the capital. In addition, various policies that restrict non-permanent residents from purchasing property and cars have contributed to the population shift.
"Control population through occupations" (以业控人) is one of the measures in Beijing's population control efforts. Lu Jiehua thinks that to a certain extent this measure affected the population layout and is one of the reasons for the migrant population reduction.
For example, Xicheng District aims to develop the financial industry, which attracts high-end human resources. The upgrading of the regional economy has made the floating population working in the low-end service industry reduce accordingly. But he believes that the impact on population through adjustment of the economic structure won't be immediate.
Since 2010, Beijing has started to implement a series of administrative measures to control population, which has had some short term effects.
In Feb 2011, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development instituted regulation on commercial home rental management, which stipulated that underground storage rooms couldn't be rented as residential units. In August of the same year, Beijing also banned basements from being rented out.
Wang Yongxin (王永新), head of the Beijing Civil Defense Bureau has said that starting from 2011, Beijing would spend 6-12 months clearing out people living in these basements. It's estimated that the policy will uproot 1 million people.
Data from HomeLink shows that Beijing's rental market prices had the largest increase in 2011, with the average monthly rent at 3,280 yuan - an increase of 13 percent compared to 2010. And the growth has continued in 2012.
On May 9, Beijing issued the notice that the average per-capita living space in rental homes cannot be less than five square meters and that no more than two people can live in a bedroom.
Wuyue Sanren (五岳散人 – a pseudonym), a well-known online commentator, said in an article that the migrant population reduction trend will continue for the next few years. With the economic situation increasingly grim, people's impulse to escape from Beijing will become even stronger.
According to Anbound, a research-oriented enterprise, Beijing's population control has caused obvious pressure on the city's economy. Currently, there are about 1.8 million people working in Beijing's manufacturing industry, of which 40 percent are migrants.
Anbound believes that without a steady migrant population working in the service industry -especially in restaurants, construction, entertainment, retail, and real estate - the normal operation of Beijing may encounter problems. If the migrant population is controlled too forcefully, then the city will pay a huge economic price.
Lu Jiehua said that regarding the population problem, the Beijing municipal government has started to move in the direction of reducing administrative measures and shifting toward service management.
In 2007, Beijing put forward the idea of a residence card system that would be beneficial to migrant workers by giving them rights similar to Beijing residents, but until now it hasn't been launched.
Mao Shoulong (毛寿龙), a public administration professor from Renmin University, said that shifting from "management" to "service" and treating the migrant population as residents is a nice wish for government authorities. But due to the reality of the city's population capacity, the government has to adopt some administrative measures to control population through tax and social security schemes. "For at least some period of time, this will be the case," he said.

Direct harvesting grass for dairy cows
Heather Smith Thomas for Progressive Forage Published on 31 December 2020
Planning to feed pastures
Managing for profitable pastures
Cultivating resilience with careful management
Feeding green grass to dairy cows is nothing new, but recent innovations have made it easier to add to diets of high-producing cows.
A new practice on several large dairy farms in Wisconsin is proving efficient for harvesting high-quality perennial grasses to add to a TMR for improving cow health and performance, and the farm's manure/slurry is utilized to fertilize the grass after each harvest.
Doug Sutter, certified crop adviser (CCA) with Wisconsin-based ag equipment provider Vanderloop Equipment, explains how the harvesting and manure application is facilitated. "I am an agronomist by trade, so I come at this from the crop end of it, but I know a dairy depends on healthy, productive cows. If the cows aren't happy, none of the rest matters," he says.
"Being able to provide fresh feed is important. Here in Wisconsin during the heat of summer, dry matter intake [DMI] is depressed due to palatability issues and loss of appetite. Fresh feed gives cows a reason to come to the bunk and eat more, which keeps milk production up. On one large dairy farm, this system is saving about 70 cents per cow per day [replacing part of the corn silage and alfalfa] as well as increasing milk production," he says.
Vanderloop's role in this innovative project started with manure handling and applying it to the fields. "Our issue in Wisconsin is twofold. We have too much liquid [manure is 95 percent water] and too much phosphorus. The way we address this is to remove the phosphorus and not have to haul the water as far – putting it onto the fields with a hose as opposed to putting it into a tanker, which is costly," Sutter says.
"Our method of phosphorus removal is low-tech rather than using ultra-filtration or reverse osmosis, which are very expensive. The most cost-effective phosphorus removal we could find is a decanter – a centrifuge that functions horizontally instead of vertically. It revolves at 3,000 rpm and uses centrifugal force to throw solids [in suspended liquid material] to the outside wall. This decanter takes out twice as much solids as a screw press [which takes out about 33 percent]. The decanter takes out about 67 percent," he says.
The phosphorus goes with the solids; that same proportion of phosphorus is also removed. "With more phosphorus out, we can apply more gallons of liquid per acre without compromising nutrient management plans," he explains.
"The reason we had phosphorus problems was because whenever we applied manure to a crop to meet nitrogen needs, we overapplied phosphorus. They were not in balance. Now that we can take out two-thirds of the phosphorus before we apply manure to the fields, the nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratio falls more in line with the crops' use of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium from the soil. We can keep applying the amount of manure we need for appropriate nutrients for the crop. We can go from 10,000 gallons per acre to 30,000 gallons per acre without getting into a phosphorus problem," he says.
This is part of the equation in making the grass crop work. High-quality perennial grass has high water demands and high nitrogen demands, both of which fit well with the effluent left after using the decanter.
The grass crop is cut five to seven times during the year and has a window of manure application six to eight times per year (which includes before and after the cropping season). This is a big factor for a dairyman who traditionally applied most of the manure in the fall. "Corn silage would be taken off and liquid manure put on the field, hoping it would still be there next July when the new corn crop is growing swiftly," Sutter says.
This new way of applying manure is perfect for nutrient timing. "We're cutting the grass every 21 to 24 days and immediately applying manure for the next crop to be taking it up. Our window of possible nutrient loss has shrunk as small as it can; we are putting it on just before peak demand," he says.
For the grass harvest, there are two approaches. If you already have a chopper for harvesting haylage and corn silage, a direct-cut chopping attachment can be put on the front of the chopper. "The grass can be cut and chopped and put in a wagon to take to the TMR pad where you mix feed," he says.
Another option is to use the front mower on a triple mower. "To utilize our fresh cut system, one farmer just puts a single deck at the front of the tractor, drives over the cut grass and has a pickup-unit attached to a chopper box. It picks it up, cuts it and puts it in the box, all in one pass. It depends on what you already have for equipment and what is most efficient for your own operation," Sutter says.
The manure should be applied immediately after the grass is cut and removed, ideally the same day. "With a toolbar called a grassland injector, a press wheel creates a little groove, and a metal disc cuts a slot into the ground so liquid manure can go down into the root zone more effectively. We usually put 5,000 to 6,000 gallons per pass over the field, right after harvest so there's no risk of injury to the crop, and the plants have access to the nutrients to immediately start growing again," explains Sutter.
Liquid manure can be applied from a tanker and injected, or with a hose and dragline, depending on which method is most efficient for that farm. "There are ways to do NIR for manure [assessing nutrient components] which agronomically and environmentally is a big deal today. If someone wants to do a prescription for manure application – if they want to put on 60 pounds of nitrogen – they can analyze the manure, and the unit can vary the rate and/or gallons on the go. If you have some dilute manure [from runoff or rain in the pits], it will put on more gallons," Sutter says. It adjusts the amount of liquid in terms of nitrogen content to match soil needs. This is precise delivery, with no guesswork.
"The buzzword today is prescription; we're not underapplying or overapplying. We can put on exactly what the crop needs. If you run into a dry period and need to back off on the amount of manure, you can do that and, in optimum conditions with high moisture, you can put on a little more to accommodate what the crop needs," he says.
"Dairymen like this system because grass is a feed source the cows really like and respond to production-wise, and cost is feasible and production-efficient. Agronomically, we're using that piece of ground six months of the year, starting mid-May and hopefully into November. Yield per acre and value of that crop becomes as high as any crop we can raise," says Sutter.
This type of cropping is better for the environment, using perennial grass rather than tilling and planting. "We have year-round cover with no soil erosion. Grass roots are adding to soil health," he says.
"One reason we've gone this direction for dairies is that we have a hard time keeping alfalfa stands alive in Wisconsin because of winterkill or wet summers. Alfalfa is a very expensive crop to establish; seed costs are high. Normally it's a three-year crop rotation – sometimes four, if you are lucky. With perennial grass, it's a 10-year rotation, so seed costs drop to 25 percent of what it was with alfalfa because up-front costs are not as high and longevity is better. We might do some interseeding four to five years into it, to fill in thin spots, but we're not tearing out an entire field to try to re-establish it," says Sutter.
Grass is also much more tolerant to adverse weather conditions, so it's an efficient crop for dairymen to put in and leave in. High-quality grasses have a lot of potential for large-scale dairies that need to maintain optimum cow health and production.

Q: Opaque struct without definition I am designing an iterator interface for my hashmap data structure. The current design looks like this:
// map.h
typedef struct map_iterator map_iterator;

// map.c
struct map_iterator
{
    // Implementation details
};

// client.c
map *m = map_new();
map_iterator *it = map_iterator_new(m);
void *key, *value;
while (map_iterator_next(it, &key, &value)) {
    // Use key, value
}
map_iterator_free(it);

However, this requires a heap allocation for the iterator object, and the client must remember to free the iterator when they're done. If I make map_iterator_new return the iterator on the stack, the code looks like this:
// map.h
typedef struct map_iterator
{
    // Implementation details
};

// client.c
map *m = map_new();
map_iterator it = map_iterator_new(m);
void *key, *value;
while (map_iterator_next(&it, &key, &value)) {
    // Use key, value
}

However, this requires that I provide the definition of the map_iterator struct to client code (otherwise I get an incomplete type error). I would like to hide this definition and provide only the declaration.
Is there any way of achieving this? Essentially, I'm looking for a way to tell the client code "this struct takes up X bytes so you can allocate it on the stack, but I'm not telling you how to access its members".
Edit: Standard C only, please! (no compiler extensions/platform-specific functions)

A: Use serialization.
You are always allowed to copy an object of the T to an array of unsigned char and then back to an object of type T. That object will be the same as the original object. T can be any object type, and this can be done with automatic storage duration (stack):
int value = 568;
unsigned char store[sizeof( int )];
memcpy( store , &value , sizeof( int ) );
int other;
memcpy( &other , store , sizeof( int ) );
assert( other == value ),

This can be (ab)used to hide the implementation from the user. Define two struct, the one that defines the actual implementation and is not visible to the user, and one that is visible and contains only an array of unsigned char of appropriate size.

implementation.c

#include "implementation.h"

struct invisible
{
    int element1;
    char element2
    float element3;
    void** element4;
};

_Static_assert( sizeof( struct invisible ) <= VISIBLE_SIZE );

struct visible New( void )
{
    struct invisible i = { 1 , '2' , 3.0F , NULL };
    struct visible v = { 0 };
    memcpy( &v , &i , sizeof(i) );
    return v;
}

void Next( struct visible* v )
{
    struct invisible i = { 0 };
    memcpy( &i , &v , sizeof(i) );
    i.element1++;    //make some changes
    const int next = i.element;
    memcpy( &v , &i , sizeof(i) );
    return next;
}

implementation.h

#define VISIBLE_SIZE 24    //make sure it greater or equal to the size of struct invisible
struct visible
{
    unsigned char[VISIBLE_SIZE];
};

struct visible New( void );
int Next( struct visible* v );

user.c

#include "implementation.h"

void Func( void )
{
    struct visible v = New();
    while( 1 )
    {
         const int next = Next( &v );
         if( next == 10 )
         {
              break;
         }
         printf( "%d\n" , next );
    }
}

This example only touches the member element1. In a real implementation, you can modify the invisible struct freely.

A: Short answer: There isn't a good way.  The best bet is to stick with having the API return an object that the caller frees.
Long answer: Here is an alternative, allowing stack allocation of an opaque object.  There are caveats:

*

*You need to know the size of the actual object

*You need to understand alignment requirements for your machine and toolkit (a little)

*

*alignment of fields

*end-padding of structs, to achieve field alignment

Caveat 1 can be handled by having a utility function to print the size (not exported to the user API), along with assertions to catch errors.
Caveat 2 can be handled by adding an element of the type with the strictest alignment requirements in the user-visible definition (though it needn't be in the same place.)
Maintaining alignment avoids the need to use serialization as used in @2501's answer.
In the example below, you can ignore code below "// trivial implementation" comments.  They're simply to provide a complete working example, but the algorithms are irrelevant to the OP.

map.h

#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAP_ITER_SIZE 16

typedef struct {
  void *p;          // force alignment to match implementation
  char space[MAP_ITER_SIZE-sizeof(void*)];
} map_iterator;

typedef struct map map;

map *map_new(void);
void map_iterator_init(map_iterator *iter, map *m);
int map_iterator_next(map_iterator *iter, int *p_key);

map_user.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "map.h"

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    map_iterator it;
    int key;

    map *m = map_new();
    map_iterator_init(&it, m);
    while (map_iterator_next(&it, &key)) {
        printf("%d\n", key);
    }
}

map.c

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include "map.h"

#define INITIAL_KEY (-1)

struct map {
    int key_count;
    int first_key;
};

// Keep struct size consistent with MAP_ITER_SIZE in map.h
typedef struct {
    map *m;
    int cur_key;
} map_iterator_impl;

map *map_new(void) {
    map *m = malloc(sizeof(struct map));

    // trivial implementation for example only
    m->key_count = 2;
    m->first_key = 10;
}

void map_iterator_init(map_iterator *iter, map *m)
{
    map_iterator_impl *iter_impl = (map_iterator_impl *)iter;

    assert(sizeof(map_iterator) == sizeof(map_iterator_impl)); // optimizes out

    // trivial implementation for example only
    iter_impl->m = m;
    iter_impl->cur_key = INITIAL_KEY;      // not a valid key
}

int map_iterator_next(map_iterator *iter, int *p_key)
{
    map_iterator_impl *iter_impl = (map_iterator_impl *)iter;

    // trivial implementation for example only
    if (iter_impl->cur_key == INITIAL_KEY) {
        iter_impl->cur_key = iter_impl->m->first_key;
    } else {
        ++iter_impl->cur_key;
    }

    if (iter_impl->cur_key - iter_impl->m->first_key >= iter_impl->m->key_count) {
        return 0;
    }

    *p_key = iter_impl->cur_key;
    return 1;
}

unsigned int get_impl_size()
{
    return (unsigned int) sizeof(map_iterator_impl);
}

Pundits will argue against this and they'll have good points.  The main argument is that the code isn't portable without jumping through hoops to get the SIZE constant correct for all supported (processor,compiler) cases.  You also need to know what data type has the biggest alignment requirement, for each case.

A: There is function called alloca, that reserves memory on caller's stack. So your code may look like:
// map.h
typedef struct map_iterator map_iterator;
extern int map_iterator_size;
// map.c
struct map_iterator
{
    // Implementation details
};
int map_iterator_size = sizeof(struct map_iterator);
// client.c
map *m = map_new();
map_iterator *it = alloca(map_iterator_size);
map_iterator_new(m, it);
void *key, *value;
while (map_iterator_next(it, &key, &value)) {
    // Use key, value
}
