Everyone buys organic for their own unique reasons, whether that may be health, animal welfare, environmental, or other, but it's important to know that each individual brand and type of organic purchase has a different impact.
In the case of eggs, it's generally safe to say that the smaller the operation, the better: "pastured" eggs from small family farms are usually your best bet for all of the above categories, although organic is generally far better than anything "conventional" you can buy.
Is One of America's Top Organic Egg Producers Actually Organic?
The report, published in The Washington Post, focused on the Saranac, Michigan Eggland's Best production facility, where an estimated 1 in 10 organic eggs sold in the United States come from.
While most people picture small-scale idealistic farms when they think organic, this facility is anything but according to the investigation: it houses more than 1.6 million hens and they are held in close proximity to each other with no ability to set foot outside, according to unnamed sources.
The sources were people familiar with the operation, and the building plan, as cited in the Post report.
The birds are said to be held at over three per square foot of floor space, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to speak about the company.
The Eggland's best "organic" eggs contain this symbol and are sold at many major grocery stores.
The USDA requirements for organic livestock are outdoor access, direct sunlight, and fresh air, while prohibiting "continuous total confinement of any animal indoors." They are supposed to be allowed to engage in their "natural behavior," and if the reports are true than that is simply not the case at this farm, as chickens naturally enjoy roaming outside for food in pastures.
According to Greg Herbruck, the president of Herbruck's Poultry Ranch in Saranac which is part of the operation, the entire process is organic.
He said that the Post report was misleading because there are metal shelves that have been constructed to add more space to the area where the birds are kept, but he did not dispute the number of hens per square feet and the size of the barns.
He also declined a Post reporter's request for a visit saying that it could "possibly infect the flock with a disease such as avian flu" according to the article.
You can learn more details of the investigation by clicking here to access the full Washington Post article.
While Herbruck insists that the operation maintains the organic standards, it's clear that it does not meet the expectations of what consumers expect, especially in regards to the lack of outdoor access for the chickens, which is what most people polled imagine organic to include.
While there are benefits to buying even large-scale "organic" eggs like Eggland's best, namely the lack of GMOs in their organic feed (assuming a massive operation like this does actually follow the correct protocol), the message here seems clear: buy at your own risk.
The more we support large, industrial factory-style operations like these, the more likely it is that animals will suffer and standards will continue to be watered down. More smaller family farms that do things the right way will also struggle to stay afloat.
If you'd like to know which egg producing operations are the best in terms of categories like animal welfare, family or corporate farm status, and more, you can also check out the Cornucopia Institute's 'Organic Egg Scorecard' report by clicking on this link.


What's smarter: Shipping or checking bags?
About this time of year, frequent and infrequent travelers alike are faced with the hassle, uncertainty and expense of checking bags for trips home for the holidays.
Since airlines charge $25 for the first checked bag (except Southwest and JetBlue) and $35 for the second would you pay to ship your bag, or just check it with the airline and hope for the best?
By now you've probably heard the squeals and speculation about a purported change in United's carry on baggage policy.
You may be quaking in your boots fearful of a new army of United baggage police stationed at security checkpoints or gates demanding that your slightly pudgy bag be banished to the belly of the plane. And that you'll have to wait forever to collect it from a dark and distant baggage carousel.
As always, bags must be no larger than 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches– the size of a standard wheeled suitcase that nearly every frequent traveler carries. An additional personal item, such as a shoulder bag, backpack, laptop bag or other small item, should be no larger than 9 inches x 10 inches x 17 inches. Here's United's policy.
To help stem the tide of oversized bags somehow making it through security and to the gate, United recently rolled out a new version of its luggage sizer (see photo). It also mounted a communications blitz about its policy with a post on the United Hub blog last November, and more recently, an email sent to MileagePlus members about it. And it has asked front line employees to be more cognizant of blatant offenders.
That's it. After this blows over, I'm sure we'll see United, like all other airlines, revert to the good old "case by case basis." Which means, if your flight is full, you are late to board, and your carry-on bag is obnoxiously large, you'll be asked to gate check it.
If, like most frequent travelers, you've learned to live out of your 9″x 14″x 22″ (-ish) carryon bag and briefcase, fear not and carry on!
Is it fair for United to enforce its longstanding rules? Have you noticed United employees cracking down on anything other than blatant offenders? Please leave your comments below.

"Brexit" – Patriotism v Nationalism -Part One
27 February 2018 February 27, 2018 February 27, 2018 February 24, 2018
Having written recently about why I had turned down a kind offer from a long-time friend to visit them in the USA I received a response from someone in the USA saying that I had no right to an opinion on the political situation in America
What was also – and I have to say I found also quite amusing for obvious reasons – is that they then went on to say that we had our own problems with Brexit and finished off by saying "How's Brexit working out for you"?
Actually that wasn't the final part but let's just say apparently I shouldn't visit the USA because I wouldn't be welcome because Americans are Patriotic and I'm clearly not.
So Brexit – Which I could sum up in a very short article by simply saying :
What a cluster – f**k.
And leave it there except that just like patriotism it is a little more complicated than that.
Incidentally I served for 23 years in the Royal Navy and serving alongside some of the most professional and patriotic people both in my service and with counterparts in the US Navy.
That didn't stop us – bloody democracy here! – having our own opinions and views on our political masters but it also didn't stop any of us doing our duty as the legal means of military enforcement for our respective countries.
Anyway back to Brexit and how it's going for us.
What those such as Farage, Johnston, Fox, Davis, Leadsom, Rees-Mogg, Gove and May et al – whatever anyone may think about them and I certainly have never hidden my views on them – clearly latched onto with and whilst lying to get the result they wanted – namely Brexit – is that they appealed to the overwhelming feeling that voting Brexit was somehow patriotic and a sign of national loyalty.
In fact they are still playing on it with Johnston and Leadsom in particulate claiming that anyone who doesn't support the Government on Brexit is a traitor and unpatriotic.
The reality of course is that on the point of the strength of patriotism is that it can be an overwhelming positive force for good – and just as equally for bad – if harnessed by those in power and there is nothing else like it on the planet.
The ardent Brexiteers – as they have become known – also played on the fears amongst many UK citizens that continuing to be a member of the European Union was a step towards a United States of Europe in which all citizens would be treated and seen as being alike.
The problem as I see it in this argument is that those who voted to be treated as independent British Citizen simply don't seem to realise that whatever the political structure the European Union morphs into the peoples of the different countries display behaviours and characteristics that are incredibly different.
It has been a problem – not so much for Europeans – that has been a foundation of the British character down the ages based on one very simple basic principle ingrained into the British psyche namely – at all costs never trust someone who is foreign and especially if they speak a different language to English.
Bloody hell fire we in these islands don't even trust the Americans because they have taken the 'u' out of colour and use a 'z' in place of a 's'.
Top that off with our climate and lack of sunshine and suddenly the envy kicks in which is exacerbated by the fact that whatever the Brexiteers claim Europeans don't want to come and live here unless they have the opportunity to work.
Conversely of course you only have to look at the number of UK ex-pats who prefer to live in Europe rather than stay in the UK.
Even Americans would prefer to live in Europe rather than the United Kingdom which is understandable because even though we – and some in the USA – would like to think that Britain – or to most Americans England – is the mother country the reality is that the USA has chiefly been built on the backs of and ingenuity and ambition of European immigrants.
Let's return to the Brexiteers rousing arguments for leaving the European Union.
"We are a proud independent nation who will be able to take back control"
Sounds very good as a sound bite however is it even true – bearing in mind the number of other untruths they used during the European Referendum campaign :-
Are we even a Nation?
And what is a Nation?
Most of the world see our little group of islands off the North West coast of the European mainland as a single entity – called England.
Tell that to the Scots, the Welsh or the Irish – in fact tell that even to the Cornish and don't get me started on trying to convince a Yorkshireman that he is the same as someone from London or Surrey.
Isn't the truth that we have regional identities within these islands and aren't we really 68 million individuals?
What has our son and daughter -apart from having the same mother and father – in common with me and Liz?
Throughout their formative years they benefitted from a superior education, they had a demonstrably better diet, they lived in far better quality housing etc etc than we had.
And no this isn't a "Baby Boomer" complaining about the "Millennials" because it is exactly what they deserved and as much as I – and many others who was raised on a Council Estate – like to think I'm still working class the fact is I no longer am and our children are definitely middle class.
What is even more impressive about the "Millennials" though is that they have a mind of their own and will not blindly follow the politics of their parents.
Which is perhaps why in the UK we are seeing – driven by the media and xenophobes – attempts to cause a rift and dislocation between the generations.
I'd even argue when Brexiteers pronounce on the importance of "taking back control" that they have no idea what it means just as they have no idea what they mean by national identity.
I don't even – apart from being the same human mass – recognise myself as the person who worked down a coal mine, served in the Royal Navy or even who I was twenty years ago never mind what I see in photographs of a small boy taken sixty five years ago.
What Bexiteers have very cleverly and carefully avoided when talking up leaving the European Union restoring our national independence is the sheer hypocrisy when it was the United Kingdom – or Great Britain as it was then – who at one time controlled an Empire that covered over a quarter of the globe.
As an aside when I was in junior school we still had and used world maps that showed the British Empire in "pink" – is there any wonder my generation is screwed up.
It took a six year global conflict to eventually make the UK allow countries and billions of people their "independence" from colonial and imperialistic control.
And who was it who ruled the Empire and made their wealth from exploiting other nations?
It was those who owned the land and property here – the aristocracy – in simple terms those who were the forebears of Johnston' Cameron, Rees-Mogg and the rest.
The level and scale of wealth inequality in the United Kingdom is the highest in Europe.
What is surprising is that even though it is a well known fact across the whole length and breadth of Britain that leaving the European Union is going to massively increase the wealth of the already wealthy – millions still believe that they are arguing to leave not for altruistic reasons but because they want to help and support the "ordinary hard working man and his family".
Stupidity cannot be legislated for, or as the famous actress Edith Sitwell said,
"I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it"
And there-in lies the problem – not the stupidity of those who voted for Brexit – but those who promoted and led it.
Almost entirely they are all millionaires who went to public school and I know this is a bold statement but not one of them has displayed any sense or even excused the fact that they have based their whole Brexit strategy on their own xenophobic self interest.
Let me however be absolutely clear on this so that there can be no misunderstanding,
"Not every one of the 17 million who voted to leave the European Union are xenophobic racists and the majority of them have their own reasons for the way they voted whether it was fear of a United States of Europe instead of a trading block or simply wanting to teach David Cameron a lesson".
What is almost certain though is that every xenophobic racist did vote for Brexit and sadly in 21st Century United Kingdom there are an awful lot of them who continue and will continue just like Johnston, Leadsom, Rees -Mogg, May and the rest of them will continue to hide their true colours behind claims of being Patriots.
The problem is that rather than being Patriots they are simply Nationalists who don't understand and don't want to understand the internationalism of the world.
Where will this new found – in reality old but re-emerging – nationalism lead us is something I'll address in Part Two of this series on Brexit.
Perhaps a "revolution" is on the horizon.

The Feast of Fabulousness Returns!
You are invited to the second Berlin Femme Mafia picnic - more fabulous than ever before and this year without the dramatic electrical storm halfway through! I've been scanning the weather forecast obsessively and can confirm that there is NO RAIN reported this year. Possibly it might get a little cloudy, but thats what frisbees are for!
We are choosing Tempelhof park again, mainly because it has a barbecue area, toilets & an icecream truck.
Suggestions for what people want this year include balloons, mobile makeovers, strawberry cake, frisbee, cheap sekt, dressing up (obv.s) and games! Games that involve getting messy (food fight!) games that are silly and pointless (pin the tail on the femme donkey!) and games that involve flirting (think of some!) I would also personally like a pie eating contest :) If you have any suggestions of your own, please contact us and we will do our best to make your dreams come true!
The Femme Mafia will provide some food, but please bring some of your own as well. I think the general consensus is that we keep it meat free or at least have a 'discreet meat' policy.
The picnic starts at 14.00 and will go on until late or until we all get too cold.
* - Please consider the appropriateness of your presence if youre a straight, CIS gendered man, particularly if you do not know anyone else there! We like to be welcoming but also prefer to avoid creepy scenarios. If you are confused by this then contact us and we can advise you.
Femmes und Freund_innen und Fans Willkommen!
Das Ganze wird wieder im Tempelhof Park stattfinden (ehemaliger Flugplatz), es wird gespielt und gegessen (Flirtspiele und Kuchenwettessen stark bevorzugt :) Falls Ihr noch andere Vorschläge oder Ideen habt, dann nur her damit.
Die Femme Mafia wird sich um Essen kümmern, aber bringt doch bitte auch selbst was mit, wenn es möglich ist, am allerliebsten vegetarisch, dann haben möglichst viele was davon.
Das Picknick geht ab 14:00 los und so lange wie wir Lust haben oder wenn uns kalt wird oder oder.


If you are looking for miter saw reviews before you buy, you have come to the right place. We have tested the latest miter saws and can give you up to date information on which ones are fit for the job, and which ones to avoid. We can also offer advice on how to get the best miter saw 2019, that will save you time and money.
Miter saws are very versatile tools and every carpenter should have one. Read the miter saw reviews and make your choice today. They are able to make angled cuts by pulling the circular blade down onto a piece of wood or molding with a short, precise plunge. Some people think miter saws are very varied and complex, but there are basically only three types.
The type of miter saw you need depends on what type of woodworking you will be doing.
With a rating of 4.9 out of 5 and over 650 reviews, the Dewalt DW715 is the top rated miter saw overall. It has 11-positivestops that deliver durability and accuracy for your work-site. You get Dewalt quality with this product. It supports crown molding for up to 5 and a quarter inches and base molding up to 6 and a half inches vertically. It is also very lightweight and has easy portability. The motor has a speed of 4000 RPM and 15 amp. 4 Hardened steel bevel stops, tin and sharp saw and an awesome price. You can recreate projects you see on the internet at a record pace. The only downside we see is that it doesn't have a LED to cast a cut-line shadow but customers are happy even without this feature.
If you want a miter saw for your home, the Hitachi C10FCE2 is the choice for you. It provides accurate, smooth crosscuts and miters in a variety of work-pieces including plywood, soft fiber-boards, decorative panels, wood, aluminum sashes and hard board. It is an ideal power tool for woodworkers, farmers and trim carpenters. C10FCE2 is one of, if not, the lightest compound miter saw. The features of this tool include positive miter stops, 45 degree Bevel, elastomer grip, dust bag and a box containing a 24 tooth 10 inc TCT saw blade, vise assembly, box wrench, extended fence.
The DEWALT DW716XPS has the integrated XPS Cross Cut System with a high intensity LED light that is used as a laser to casts shadows of the blade. It has a 15 amp powerful motor that delivers 3600 RPM and high visibility bevel scale. All the settings are solid and the angle cuts are precise, cutting miter joints are easy with this tool and compound cuts are simple to create.
The DEWALT DWS779 includes the CUTLINE Blade Positioning System which gives adjustment free cut line indication for visibility and best accuracy. It has a motor with 3800 rpm and 15 amp which delivers durability and of course, power. It also features an efficient dust collection system, it usually captures 75% of the dust. There is not LED cut line on this model but you should check out the similar models. Customers say it's well built and can withstand serious work. What else can we say? it's an excellent saw that delivers perfect cuts and has excellent quality and material.
This product is the second best after the DEWALT DWS779, it is also cheaper. This is very good for an average DIY'er without paying too much. For some people remodeling their homes this miter saw is the top choice. This tool slides like a radial arm saw. It has a decent blade and it's very accurate. The maximum cut is 12 inch, 8 inch 45 degrees will cut 4 inches thick. For this price this is solid good quality.
If you are a woodworker or an intermediate DYIer this is the perfect power tool for you. This model features the Quick Mount System, extension rails, laser and a powerful motor with 4500 RPM and 15 AMP. This product will cut thought 4×4 posts but doesn't come with a stand. The controls operate easily and no adjustments are required out of the box. You can always trust SKIL to make great products of high quality, it also has a great price and is easy to work with.
A Standard or Basic Miter Saw is the least versatile of the three variations, but will still do a great job if you do not require bevel or compound cuts.
The Compound Miter Saw is much easier to use than the standard saw as you can position your workpiece flat for cutting, and it can adjust simultaneously for both bevel and miter cuts. A compound miter saw is suitable for jobs that require cutting of stock that is not very wide or tall, like a picture frame or door or window trim.
The Sliding Miter Saw is the most versatile of all the models available. Its motor and blade assembly is mounted on an extendable arm that accommodates wider and longer stock. The saw works like an basic fixed-head model for smaller workpieces. Some models can only have the blade pivoting in one direction, but the dual sliding compound miter saw enables the blade to tilt to the left or right.
Though miter saw models of will vary from brand to brand and within different designs, there are some more commonly found features that should help you when choosing an ideal miter saw for your workshop.
Blade Guard: Most miter saws feature a safety blade guard that automatically retracts when the saw is lowered for operation, and then reappears when it is raised.
Laser Guide: This gives you a precise visual guide of where the cut will be on your stock.
Shaft Lock: This immobilizes the shaft and the blade for simpler, quicker blade changes.
Dust Bag: This helps collect sawdust at the back of the saw, keeping it clean and giving you a more tidy work space.
Electric Brake: An important safety feature that stops the blade quickly in an emergency by reversing the flow of electricity when you release the saw's trigger.
Table Extensions: These extensions fit onto both sides of the saw and help balance longer work pieces or wood or molding and stop them from rocking.
Miter Saw Blades are available in different sizes, grades and materials. There are three main types of miter saw blade: steel blades, high-speed steel blades, and carbide-tipped blades.
Steel Blades are inexpensive and great for cutting plywood or soft woods. As you would expect, the sharpness reduces quickly when used on harder materials.
High-Speed Steel Blades are more sturdy than steel blades, and can cope with cutting tougher materials.
Carbide-Tipped Blades are the most expensive of the miter saw blades but they are worth it because they are a lot more durable and maintain their sharpness for a lot longer.
A power miter saw has a hinged frame that lets you make repetitive and precise vertical cuts, either straight down or at an angle in small boards, timber or molding. The advantage is that repetition needed in your woodwork is a piece of cake, because the power miter saw saves a whole lot of time.
Compound saws not only cut at an angle, but also let you position the blade to the side, which basically gives you two angled cuts simultaneously. This feature makes the compound miter saw excellent for cutting moldings, especially crown moldings.
When using a standard miter saw, a crown molding would need to be placed on the saw table or stand upside down at the exact angle that it is going to be installed at before an angle cut can be made. This is not very practical and it has the added disadvantage of tall crown molding not fitting underneath the blade. Even if it did fit, the raised guide along the back of the saw's frame will often be too short for the molding to lean against it. This means you will need to make your own custom support to lean the molding against. Again, not very practical, as the reason you bought the miter saw in the first place was to save time, not increase your workload. However, it is a possible solution if you have enough patience and diligence.
The compound miter saw makes these problems history. The blade's angle can be set enabling you to make the compound cut by having the molding lying flat on the base of the saw. This makes the whole operation much easier and a lot more accurate. Wood Magazine has very helpful software that lets you work out the compound miter angle for items with up to 50 sides. Very few jobs will require you to need anything with quite that many sides and angles, but it's nice to know that the facility is there if you need it!
The sliding compound miter saw does not only hinge to make the cut, but also hinges as well as slides or just slides on its own. The main advantage of the sliding miter saw is that much wider and thicker boards can be cut using it. This is the obvious choice for the professional, because it is extremely accurate in cutting angles on most popular sizes of lumber, boards and moldings.
You will generally pay more for a compound miter saw than you would a standard one, and more still for a slide compound miter saw. But if you are planning to do a lot of moldings or are prepared to pay a little more for the best tool for the job, it will definitely be worth investing in one.

Chad Wolf, acting secretary of Homeland Security, resigns
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 21: Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf speaks during a press conference on the actions taken by Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security agents in Portland during continued protests at the US Customs and Border Patrol headquarters on July 21, 2020 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Samuel Corum/Getty Images)
Chad Wolf is resigning as the acting secretary of Homeland Security, he announced in a letter to the department Monday obtained by CNN.
As House Democrats debate when to send the articles of impeachment over to the Capitol, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is exploring whether to use emergency authority to reconvene the Senate and hold the trial before President Trump leaves office, according to a senior Democratic aide.
House Republican Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, in a letter to GOP colleagues, listed four potential responses to the Jan. 6 attack in advance of a Monday all-GOP conference call as he continued to oppose the impeachment of President Trump.
"With continued attempts to organize events against the outcome of the US presidential election that can lead to violence, and use of the term by those involved in Wednesday's violence in DC, we're taking this additional step in the lead up to the inauguration," Guy Rosen, Facebook's VP of integrity, wrote in a post about the company's preparation for Inauguration Day.
Meanwhile, Facebook added, it will continue its weeks-long ban on all US political advertising, including by President Trump, whose account Facebook suspended indefinitely on Jan. 7.
The blog post comes as tech companies confront mounting skepticism about whether they did too little, too late to prevent the violence that swept the Capitol — and that continues to be a risk heading into President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.
The FBI has received information indicating "armed protests" are being planned at all 50 state capitols and the US Capitol in Washington, DC, in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, according to an internal bulletin obtained by CNN.
The bulletin, which emerged after rioters stormed the US Capitol last week, also suggests there are threats of an "uprising" if President Trump is removed via the 25th Amendment before Inauguration Day. Additionally, the FBI is tracking reports of "various threats to harm President-Elect Biden ahead of the presidential inauguration," the bulletin states.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf on Monday said he has instructed the US Secret Service to begin the National Special Security Event operations for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration effective, Jan. 13 instead of Jan. 19.

Microsoft Powerpoint Free Download
Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program, which is created by Dennis Austin and Robert Gaskins at a software company named Forethought, Inc. It was released on April 20, 1987, initially for Macintosh computers only. Microsoft acquired PowerPoint for $14.000.000 three months after it appeared. This was Microsoft's first significant acquisition, and Microsoft set up a new business unit for PowerPoint in Silicon Valley where Forethought had been located. Microsoft PowerPoint is one of many programs run by the company Microsoft and it can be identified by its trademark orange, and P initial on the logo. It offers users many ways to display information from simple presentations to complex multimedia presentations.
It became a component of the Microsoft Office suite, first offered in 1989 for Macintosh and in 1990 for Windows, which bundled several Microsoft apps. Beginning with PowerPoint 4.0 (1994), it was integrated into Microsoft Office development, and adopted shared common components and a converged user interface.
PowerPoint's market share was very small at first, prior to introducing a version for Microsoft Windows, but grew rapidly with the growth of Windows and of Office. Since the late 1990s, PowerPoint's worldwide market share of presentation software has been estimated at 95 percent.

Living in Dubai, I'm exposed to a lot of different cuisines. That being said, my favorite foreign cuisines are the Mexican and the Italian. You can find good Italian restaurants in Dubai around every corner, its very popular. But when it comes to the Mexican one, I thought I had found the best available in Dubai, until I tried La Tablita. Its not the best in Dubai, its the best Mexican food I've ever had. Ever.
Don't you love it when people challenge themselves to exceed expectations and inspire uniqueness? I had one such experience at the Palazzo Versace at their avant-garde restaurant, Enigma Dubai.

Q: C# Выбор диапазона даты в monthCalendar пользователем Здравствуйте!
Как реализовать возможность выбор диапазона даты пользователем в объекте monthCalendar или может-быть иные решения имеются.
Проблема в том, что SelectionRange позволяет выбирать только одним кликом (растянуть до нужных дат) и в рамках одного месяца.
А задача: открыть календарь. выбрать кликом дату 2002.05.05 а затем выбрать кликом 2016.05.05 и получить этот диапазон.
Спасибо!
Сразу оговорюсь: событие DateChanged имеется, а также имеется возможность выбрать диапазон путем драг&дропа перетаскивая курсор, в рамках одного месяца. Выбрать даты с разных месяцев можно, с использованием Shift. Но это юзер-френдли
Хочется именно, по описанному алгоритму выше. Клик=startData + Клик=endData

A: А что вам мешает сделать два поля startData, endData и, допустим, при присвоении значения endData по клику программно создавать SelectionRange?

Q: What's the limit of this sequence? $\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{1}{n}\bigg(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}}+\sqrt{\frac{2}{n}}+\cdots + 1 \bigg)$
My attempt:
$\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{1}{n}\bigg(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}}+\sqrt{\frac{2}{n}}+\cdots + 1 \bigg)=\lim_{n \to \infty}\bigg(\frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{n^3}}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{n^3}}+\cdots + \frac{\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{n^3}} \bigg)=0+\cdots+0=0$

A: Hint: Let $f(x) := \sqrt{x}$. Then
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n f\left(\dfrac{k}{n}\right) \dfrac1{n} = \int_0^1 f(x)dx.$$

A: By that same argument, the limit of $$\frac1n(\underbrace{1+\cdots+1}_{\text{$n$ summands}})$$ is zero. Is it?

A: Your limit seems to be 2/3 but I do not know how to prove it except using Njguliyev's hint

Home 741 Spring Garden Street
Seven-Story, 146-Unit Residential Project Planned for 741 Spring Garden Street in Poplar, North Philadelphia
741 Spring Garden Street. Credit: JKRP Architects
By: Vitali Ogorodnikov 8:00 am on November 4, 2020
Renderings have been revealed for a seven-story residential development at 741 Spring Garden Street in Poplar, North Philadelphia. Designed by JKRP Architects and developed by Arts + Crafts Holdings, the complex will consist of a 99,114-square-foot building plus 10,405 square feet of covered ground-level parking and a 1,279-square-foot roof deck. The 146 units will range from studios to two bedrooms.
The project, alternately addressed as 740 Green Street, will span an entire block bound by Spring Garden Street to the south, Green Street to the north, North Perth Street to the east, and North 8th Street to the west, replacing a parking lot. The building will present its narrow side to Spring Garden Street, the area's principal thoroughfare, activating its streetscape with a 3,361-square-foot retail space.
A residential lobby will be located in a single-story side wing on North Perth Street, providing residents access to vertical circulation as well as the package room and a bike room with space for 72 bicycles. The bike room will also have an entrance from North 8th Street.
A covered parking lot will span the rest of the ground floor and include 29 parking spaces, four of which will be allocated for auto share. Parking will be accessible from Green Street. In general, ground-floor parking is detrimental to an urban streetscape because it does not activate the street through transparency and pedestrian use. To soften its street presence, the parking perimeter will feature tall shrubbery set within gray concrete planters, acting as a screen between the sidewalk and parked vehicles.
The building is massed as a slab, set back from North Perth Street by around 15-20 feet. A green space and a dog park will fill the open area while preserving a large tree that currently sits at the site. The green space and the ten new trees that will be planted along the sidewalk will be a welcome addition to the narrow, bare street.
The building's two elevators, accessible from the single-story ground floor wing, will be housed in a freestanding core, connected to the main structure via transparent walkways. The design solution was first used in mid-century Modernist designs such as Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's Inland Steel Building (1957) in Chicago, Ernö Goldfinger's brutalist Balfron Tower (1967) and Trellick Tower (1972) in London, and others. The concept is rarely used in contemporary architecture, especially residential, making 741 Spring Garden Street a surprising departure from standard architecture in Philadelphia.
Despite its mid-century-styled massing, the building exterior has a postmodern flair. Red brick at the two lower floors references the neighborhood's established architecture. The floors above will be clad in gray corrugated metal panels, with a grid of galvanized steel mesh running between alternate floors and alternate window bays will lend depth and texture to the façade.
The top floor will be set back on the Spring Garden side, creating space for a shared roof deck overlooking the Center City. A canopy will project over part of the roof deck, as an extension of the cornice that spans the roof perimeter. The canopy will provide a subtle yet notable skyline element while its black metal panel cladding will reference Spring Garden Street-facing cornices above the first and second floors.
In addition to the package room, bike room, parking, and the roof deck, residential amenities will include a second-story suite with a fireplace-equipped lounge, co-working space, fitness center, and a laundry room. At the top floor, a club room will sit adjacent to the roof deck, with the latter featuring a putting green.
The second floor will feature two-bedroom apartments, while the floors above will include a mix of studios to two-bedroom units. Oddly, many of the one- and two-bedroom apartments appear to feature small, windowless bedrooms in the apartment interior. According to Pennsylvania code, windowless rooms may not be considered as bedrooms.
The building will rise 83 feet tall on the Spring Garden Street side, and around 90 feet to the top of the elevator core. The neighborhood features a number of mid-rise buildings, including the six-story Guild House East apartment building across the street, yet most are spread across a wide area, so 741 Garden Street will be a relatively prominent structure with sweeping views from most upper-floor units.
Poplar and Callowhill, located across Spring Garden Street to the south, were once dense residential and industrial neighborhoods. After the postwar industrial decline, the city's urban renewal program led to widespread demolitions across the storied neighborhood and the erection of an automobile-oriented industrial district with big box-style warehouses and parking lots, notably on the south side of Spring Garden Street.
Instead of the revival the city hoped to achieve, the neighborhood became a shadow of its former self, with its intense urbanity replaced with a drab, suburban-style environment with large parking lots, warehouses, strip malls, and low-density housing. The area's ambiance is all the more jarring given its location between dense, traditionally urban neighborhoods such as Center City and Old City to the south, Ludlow and Yorktown to the north, Northern Liberties to the east, and western Callowhill and Spring Garden to the west.
741 Spring Garden Street is one in a series of recently proposed projects that will at least partially reestablish a dense, pedestrian-friendly urban presence on the eastern stretch of Spring Garden Street. Incoming residents will boost pedestrian presence at the street. Ground-level retail will activate the sidewalk level. The red/gray, brick and metal palette will evoke the area's industrial past and cultural legacy while remaining deferential to local landmarks, such as the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site located at 532 North 7th Street two blocks east of the proposal.
The bike room will be conducive to environmentally friendly commuting and recreation as Spring Garden Street features bike lanes in both directions, providing direct access to the Delaware River waterfront three-quarters of a mile to the east and the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Fairmount Park 1.35 miles to the west, as well as traverse lanes that offer similarly proximate access to Center City to the south and Temple University to the north.
A larger development with similar residential and retail programming is proposed a few blocks to the east at 501 Spring Garden Street, which will rise 13 stories high and feature retail at the ground floor with 382 residential units on the floors above. To the west, the 32-story Mural West tower at 523 North Broad Street at the intersection of Broad Street and Spring Garden Street will feature a public plaza and a mix of retail, office, and residential space.
Postwar urban renewal projects left a number of low-density gaps across the inner parts of the city. 741 Spring Garden Street is one of the projects that will return the vibrant urban spirit to one of such areas.

BAE Systems Working On Titanium Alloy Suspension To Protect Military Vehicles From Explosions
07:02 AM, November 24, 2016
New bendable titanium alloy suspension concept (Image: BAE Systems)
BAE Systems has developed a new suspension system for military vehicles to counter explosive impacts and is currently testing it.
A prototype of the suspension system has already been constructed and tested by a team of experts and apprentices at BAE Systems as part of their response to a competition placed by the Government's Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory for an unmanned Highly Robust Ground Platform, the company said in a statement earlier this week.
The small-scale prototype underwent five increasingly powerful explosive tests, showing significant resilience against the blasts as a result of its highly robust construction.
Now, the Company's engineers are investigating adapting memory metal suspension for full-size combat vehicles, meaning that bendable titanium alloys could form a part of military operations within the next 10 years.
"This unique use of memory metals could prove a real game-changer for combat vehicles taking part in operations. Being able to adapt to changing situations is hugely important to maintaining effectiveness, and this application of bendable titanium could give armed forces the required flexibility – and survivability – to complete tasks in challenging areas," Marcus Potter, Head of Mobility at BAE Systems Land (UK) said.
The concept of using memory metals for suspension was developed after BAE Systems engineers reviewed a range of innovations in other high technology sectors and considered how they could be applied to combat vehicles.
If it could be used on military vehicles and is affordable, perhaps when it is time to refurbish the Gempita and Lipan Bara, maybe we could get BAE Systems which owned FNSS to help make it a reality.
A bendable titanium alloy suspension system inspired by the hard shells and flexible legs of ironclad beetles could hold the key to protecting future military vehicles from explosive impacts. The alloy is made from the same type of material used in flexible spectacles and allows the suspension to 'bounce back' into shape after impact, so that the vehicle can continue its mission. Initial tests of a prototype have proved successful and engineers at BAE Systems in Telford, Shropshire believe that the new suspension system could be made available in the next decade.
Currently, the hulls of combat vehicles and their passengers are protected from blasts such as mines or IEDs, but key operational parts such as the vehicle's suspension can still be damaged – meaning they must be rescued by other military units.
The memory metal alloy was first developed by the United States Naval Ordnance Laboratory in the 1960s, but engineers at BAE Systems believe this is the first time it has been used to build an entire suspension system. Using memory metal also means the spring can be removed entirely from the suspension – strengthening and simplifying the system further.
