\section{Details of experiments and simulations}

\section{Rf coupling configurations}
Our magnetometers are rf resonators that have a considerable size: the edge length of the inductive loop is $W=8$~mm. Hence, there can be unwanted couplings, mediated by rf electromagnetic fields, between the resonator and its surroundings. Therefore it is important to analyze a full rf system consisting of the magnetometer, its connection to an rf feedline, and two concentrically placed low-frequency bias coils. The feedline and the coils are on a sample holder printed circuit board [Fig.~1(b)]. In the worst case, dissipative elements in the vicinity of the magnetometer can limit the maximal attainable quality factor of the resonance. This in turn will affect the device responsivity, i.e., its ability to transduce magnetic field variations into rf domain.

To gain insight into the full rf system, we have experimentally tested four rf coupling configurations labeled A-D (Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS4}). They differ from each other in the way the rf return current from the resonator to the sample holder ground is arranged. We change the configuration by rearranging bondwires that connect the magnetometer to the sample holder. Furthermore, some configurations choose to enforce rf grounding of the bias coils, and some choose to control the resonator-feedline coupling strength with a discrete capacitor $C_\mathrm{c}$.
\begin{figure*}[!htb]

\caption{\label{fig:FigS4}Rf coupling configurations of the resonator sample. Wirebonds are depicted in green. The rf circuit elements are loop inductance $L$, effective loop resistance $R$, parasitic inductance $L_\mathrm{par}$ (from a trace connecting the loop to a shunt capacitance $C$), coupling capacitance $C_\mathrm{c}$, and rf characteristic impedance $Z_0$. $R$ represents mainly the intrinsic rf loss of the superconductor.}%
\end{figure*}

The experimental data presented in Figs.~2-4 have been measured in the following rf coupling configurations: Sample A is in configuration A in Figs.~2-3 with $C_\mathrm{c}=0.9$~pF. For Fig.~4, the coupling of Sample A has been changed to configuration B with $C_\mathrm{c}=0.9$~pF. Sample B is in configuration B in Figs.~2-3 with $C_\mathrm{c}=200$~pF. Sample C is in configuration C in Fig.~4.

Next, we will describe the configurations in detail, discuss the electromagnetic simulation of configurations B-D, and summarize the results of the study.

\subsection{Configuration A}
In this configuration, bondwire connections are placed between the feedline and the resonator, and between the resonator and the sample holder ground [Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS4}(a)]. The path for the rf return current is thus explicitly provided. Modeling of the coupling strength between the feedline and the resonator is straightforward as it is governed by the coupling capacitor $C_\mathrm{c}$. However, we suspect that stray coupling to the resistive bias coils might lead to an increase of the internal dissipation in the resonator. Series impedance elements are placed to the coils for decoupling purposes.
\subsection{Configuration B}
Like configuration A, but without a bondwire connecting the resonator to the ground [Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS4}(b)]. The rf return current flows through the bias coils. Unlike in configuration A, there is a low-impedance connection between the coils and the ground. The low impedance at radio frequencies is provided by capacitances on the order of nanofarads. These capacitors are too small to influence the flow of the currents generating the magnetic flux bias at low frequencies below 10~kHz. Analyzing the coupling strength between the resonator and the feedline is a complicated task because the coupling is determined by stray electromagnetic fields.
\subsection{Configuration C}
Like configuration B, but with the coupling capacitor bypassed in order to achieve stronger coupling [Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS4}(c)].
\subsection{Configuration D}
Like configuration C, but with the bondwire from the rf feedline connecting to a different location at the resonator [Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS4}(d)]. Again, the rf return current flows through the bias coils.

\subsection{Simulation of configurations B-D}
To gain qualitative understanding of the unconventional bondwire configurations B-D, we carry out full-wave electromagnetic simulations in Ansys HFSS. The geometric model is depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS5}. The simulated magnetometer resembles Sample A. Traces on the magnetometer sample are of actual widths (loop: 10~$\mu$m, parasitic: 30~$\mu$m), and they have a (kinetic) sheet reactance of $6$~m$\Omega$. For simplicity, the simulation neglects optimal rounding~\cite{clem_geometry-dependent_2011,hortensius_critical-current_2012} at the corners and intersections of the loop. The rounding implemented in the actual devices should prevent critical current crowding effects. The interdigital shunt capacitor $C$ of the resonator is approximated as a lumped element. We add some internal dissipation to the resonator with a 100-k$\Omega$ lumped resistor placed in parallel to $C$. The size and permittivity of the magnetometer substrate are taken into account, but the loss tangent of the substrate is set to zero.

The sample holder is a 0.8-mm-thick FR-4 board ($\epsilon_\mathrm{r}=4.4$, loss tangent 0.02) floating in an open space of vacuum. For simplicity, we simulate only one bias coil with a single turn. It has a trace width of 0.3~mm, and an edge length of 13~mm that corresponds to the average size of the actual, three-turn dc bias coil. The losses of the copper trace are modeled with a sheet resistance of $0.14$~m$\Omega$. An rf excitation port interrupts a bondwire that connects the coil to the magnetometer. The bondwire is approximated as sections of an infinitesimally thin, 100~$\mu$m wide sheet.  Furthermore, the coupling capacitor $C_\mathrm{c}$ of configuration B is embedded into the bondwire as a lumped element.
\begin{figure}[!htb]
\includegraphics[width=242pt]{FigS5
\caption{\label{fig:FigS5}A screenshot of the simulation model for wirebonding confguration C in Ansys HFSS.}%
\end{figure}

We fine-tune $C$ to produce a resonance frequency of approximately 270~MHz in the simulation, which is close to the value measured for Sample A. The output of the simulation is a dataset of the impedance $Z_\mathrm{res}$ (seen from the excitation port) \emph{vs.} radio frequency, and we convert it into an equivalent transmission S-parameter
\begin{equation}
S_{21} = \frac{2Z_\mathrm{res}}{2Z_\mathrm{res}+Z_0},
\end{equation}
where $Z_0=50$~$\Omega$ is the characteristic rf impedance. From the simulated transmission parameter (Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS8}) we extract the resonance frequency and the quality factors using the same fitting routine that is used for the experimental data.
\begin{figure}[!htb]
\includegraphics{FigS8}
\caption{\label{fig:FigS8}Simulated resonance lineshape of Sample A in rf coupling configuration B.}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Reference samples from low-$T_\mathrm{c}$ superconductors}
Resonator samples with a minimal amount of internal dissipation are necessary for evaluating the performance limits of the sample holder and the different rf coupling configurations. To this end, we have fabricated additional magnetometers from low-$T_\mathrm{c}$ superconducting films sputter-deposited onto high-resistivity silicon substrates. We study both niobium~\cite{gronberg_side-wall_2017} (thickness $d=200$~nm) with a low kinetic inductance fraction $\alpha_\mathrm{k}$, and niobium nitride~\cite{luomahaara_kinetic_2014} ($d=165$~nm) with a high $\alpha_\mathrm{k}$. The layouts of the low-$T_\mathrm{c}$ samples differ from those of the high-$T_\mathrm{c}$ samples in certain geometrical aspects: they have a narrower trace width of $w=5$~$\mu$m within the loop, and modified dimensions of the interdigital capacitors. However, the resonance frequency of the NbN magnetometer is similar to that of the high-$T_\mathrm{c}$ Samples A and B.

\subsection{A comparison of the configurations}
Table~\ref{table:lineshapes} summarizes the effects of the variable rf coupling configuration. We have measured the high-$T_\mathrm{c}$ Sample A in all four configurations at a temperature of $T=77-80$~K, and simulated it in configurations B-D. The low-$T_\mathrm{c}$ samples have been measured at $T=4.2$~K in configurations B and D

With Sample A we are able reach higher values of the internal quality factor $Q_\mathrm{i}$ by moving from configuration A into configurations B-D. Hence, it seems beneficial to guide the rf return current through the bias coils. We measure that the $Q_\mathrm{i}$ of Sample A can increase by a factor as large as two, despite studying the configurations B-D at a higher temperature where we are more susceptible to the superconductor internal loss. When comparing the unconventional configurations B-D, we observe with all the samples that D provides the strongest coupling to the rf feedline. However, the configurations B-C are more favorable in terms of achieving a high $Q_\mathrm{i}$.

We note that making the coupling between the resonator and the feedline weaker has the effect of pushing the resonance frequency $f_\mathrm{r}$ to a higher value. Based on this relation we suspect that all configurations produce a net capacitive coupling between the magnetometer and the feedline. The simulated coupling strength, expressed in terms of the external quality factor $Q_\mathrm{e}$, is in good qualitative agreement with the measurements. The simulation overestimates $Q_\mathrm{e}$ by a factor of less than two, which we attribute to the simplified simulation geometry. The simulation omits the second bias coil as well as the presence of a ground plane on the sample holder at a lateral distance of about 5~mm from the superconducting loop [Fig.~1(b)].

As a conclusion, we think that configuration B is well-suited for sensitive magnetometry. This configuration combines the highest $Q_\mathrm{i}$ with an adjustable $Q_\mathrm{e}$. We note that variations in the coupling strength can be realized by placing some or all of the coupling capacitance onto the sample holder in the form of rf-compatible, surface-mount components.  We present in Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS6} for all three samples the measurement of $Q_\mathrm{i}$ as a function of the magnetic flux density $B_0$ generated by a current applied to the dc bias coil. Here, the rf coupling configuration is B, and further details are listed in Table~\ref{table:lineshapes}.

\subsection{Cryogenic SiGe rf preamplifier}
Our custom-designed cryogenic amplifier has four SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors~\cite{kiviranta_use_2006}, labeled $Q1-Q4$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:FigS7}. It is designed for the radio frequency range of $10-1000$~MHz. It is built of low-cost, commercially available surface-mount components on a two-sided FR-4 printed circuit board with a thickness of 0.8~mm. The amplifier occupies an area of $20$~mm~$\times$~$15$~mm on the board, plus the footprint of input/output SMP connectors.

We describe the roles of the transistors $Q1-Q4$, all of which are the model BFP 640F H6327 from Infineon. The cryo-compatibility of this model has previously been reported in Ref.~\onlinecite{ivanov_microwave_2016}. In our design, the stage providing gain is the cascode formed by a common-emitter $Q1$ and a common-base $Q2$. The amount of gain is controlled with the impedance seen by the $Q2$ collector. We add $Q3$ as a common-collector buffer stage. Finally, the role of $Q4$ is to provide a dc voltage drop: the cryogenic base-emitter voltage of SiGe is about 1~V. Broadband input (output) match to $Z_0=50$~$\Omega$ is achieved with feedback consisting of a resistor $R_\mathrm{fb}$ and a capacitor $C_\mathrm{fb}$ (the choice of resistors at the $Q3$ emitter).

At 77~K temperature, we use a supply voltage of $V_\mathrm{cc}\simeq 3.5$~V and the amplifier dissipates about $27$~mW.

Severe water shortages forcing communities to face climate change issues, pursue stringent conservation measures.
It's official: the summer of 2016 has been the driest on record! And while July may have been the official start of the drought, unusually dry weather has been happening since January 2015. Overall precipitation was down by over 17 inches in the past 20 months.
While the North River up to the Indian Head and the South River to Veterans' Park Dam are tidal and little affected by low flows, upper reaches and feeder brooks have rarely been so stressed.
The low flow is caused, unfortunately, not just by minimal rain, but also high summer water use in our growing communities. Pumping draws out the groundwater that otherwise would feed streams even during dry periods. And the resulting problems are not just ecological, for fish and wildlife, but also very severe water shortages in many communities.
Tack Factory Pond on Third Herring Brook, turned coffee colored with high turbidity, and was 90 degrees in early August! Downstream of the dam, the dewatered Third Herring Brook has stagnant pools of water where it crosses under River and Broadway Street. Upstream are the Hanover and Norwell public water supply wells.
In Iron Mine Brook, a tributary to the Indian Head River, sections are dry downstream of Hanover's wells – this brook is home to Eastern Native Brook trout which rely on cool, flowing water; but are now confined to small sections of fresh water, with little flow, low oxygen and much higher temperatures.
In Pembroke's Herring Brook headwaters – Oldham and Furnace Ponds – which is home to the best herring run in our watershed – the young fish are held captive behind the dam unable to escape downstream to migrate to the open ocean. Furnace Pond is a water source for the City of Brockton, contributing to the low levels in the pond.
In Scituate's water supply watershed, streamflow was cut off to the First Herring Brook in July in order to preserve the town's dwindling water supplies. Any young herring that are in the system will have to wait until it rains to return to the ocean.
Aquatic species are able to cope with drought – after all, we have had droughts before! – but it stresses their populations and for those rivers and species already stressed due to water withdrawals, along with dams and pavement, the stress is amplified and ultimately can lead to population reduction and extinction.
What Can You Do to Save Water for People and Nature?
First, recognize that your water, whether it comes from a private or municipal well, comes from our watershed and that it is a shared resource for people and nature. All of nature depends on the top layer of water exposed or just below the surface of the land. While we can access large stores of water underground through wells, we lower the water table when we do – which impacts surface waterbodies that rely on groundwater to feed them. We need to save water all the time – not just when there is a drought – in order to safeguard that surface water.
Second, think about your landscape. Trying to maintain grass is the single largest consumer of household water. This year during the drought, the Town of Norwell metered a single household using 30,000 gallons a day to water their lawn – that's more than a standard 16' x 32' swimming pool! Grasses that are typical of suburbia are not native to the region and require a lot of water and feeding to maintain as green. Over the long run one of the best things you can do to reduce water consumption is to remove lawn and replace it with more native vegetation. Leave the areas where you really need turf, overseed with more drought tolerant species, and if it doesn't rain let it go brown – it is just dormant and will come back when cooler temperatures and rain arrive. For more information on water conservation landscaping visit greenscapes.org.
Inside, your home toilets are the number one consumer of water. Check it for leaks by putting food coloring in the tank. Check the bowl in 20 minutes to see if the color leaked into the bowl, if so you may need to replace your flapper valve.
Calculate your own household consumption by taking your last water bill and use the calculator below. The state of Massachusetts recommends 65 gallons per person per day* however many people use less. In fact, in England and Australia average consumption is closer to 30-40 gallons per person per day.
NOTE: If your water bill is in cubic feet (CF), multiply your consumption in cubic feet by 7.48 to convert to gallons and then use the calculator below. If your consumption is in hundreds of cubic feet (CCF), then multiply by 748 and follow the calculation.
Summer is the true test – water usage tends to double in the summer. How low can you go? Are you below 65 gallons per day? Visit our new WaterSmart section of our website for more ways you can save.


It may be cute in a puppy, but when your full-grown dog jumps up to greet you, it can be a nuisance and dangerous for children and elderly friends. Because dogs jump up to say "hello," it can be difficult to break them of the habit. With some consistent training, however, you can teach your pet a more polite way to welcome you and your guests.
When puppies greet an older dog, they often lick the adult's muzzle as an appeasement gesture. In the same way, your canine companion tries to meet you nose-to-nose, jumping on his hind legs to do so. To break your dog of his highflying habit, it is important to show him that you will only greet pets that have all four feet on the ground. If your dog jumps, don't acknowledge him by pushing him off, but instead look over his head and turn away if necessary. As soon as your dog's front paws are planted, reward him verbally and with affection or a treat, withdrawing your attention immediately if he hops on his hind legs again.
It is also important to replace your dog's jumping with another behavior, which you can do by practicing the "sit and stay" greeting. Practice this type of training on your own, or with a friend by having your friend hold your dog on a loose leash and asking him to sit. You can then walk towards the two from about a dozen feet away, stopping and returning to the starting point each time your dog hops up. This will eventually help your pet form a connection between a seated greeting and a reward— your attention. If your dog gets too excited to meet a person while seated, you can try replacing jumping with holding or playing with his favorite toy instead. Remember, if he jumps up during training, remain calm and never shout or knee your dog or cause him any other pain when he hops up on humans.
Once you've experimented with replacing jumping with another behavior, try greeting real guests. Crate your dog, put him on a leash, or otherwise keep him calm when company comes over until he has mastered a composed "hello." With some time and practice, your canine companion should master the art of welcoming humans without hopping up. If, however, you are struggling with training your dog shows signs of aggression, such as growling or bearing his teeth, seek help from a certified trainer. Most importantly, remember you can't teach your dog a behavior some of the time, so be consistent about ignoring your dog when he jumps up and reinforce acceptable behavior immediately.

role of the school nurse in providing school health services
The school nurse may also coordinate with school counselors in developing suicide prevention plans. The school nurse also participates in implementation of a plan for prevention and management of school violence, bullying, disasters, and terrorism events. In some schools, a pediatric or family nurse practitioner functions as the school nurse and may provide additional services. IEP teams identify the special education needs of students; 504 teams plan for reasonable accommodations for students' special needs that impact their educational programs.18 As the case manager for students with health problems, the school nurse ensures that there is adequate communication and collaboration among the family, physicians, and providers of community resources. Thank you for your interest in spreading the word on American Academy of Pediatrics. However, the reality is that school nurse staffing patterns vary widely across the United States.14 When a school nurse is not available at all times, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Association of School Nurses, and the American Nurses Association recommend that delegated, unlicensed assistive personnel be trained and supervised in the knowledge, skills, and composure to deliver specific school health services under the guidance of a registered nurse. Pediatricians can advocate for a minimum of 1 full-time professional school nurse in every school with medical oversight from a school physician in every school district as the optimal staffing to ensure the health and safety of students during the school day. The school nurse has a crucial role in the seamless provision of comprehensive health services to children and youth. Her early success in reducing absenteeism led to the hiring of 12 more nurses. One in ten children and adolescents has a mental illness severe enough to cause some level of impairment; yet, in any given year, only about 12% of children in need of mental health services actually receive them.33 Pediatricians, both community- and school-based, and school nurses need to collaborate to advocate for professional resources addressing this burgeoning problem that affects both their practices.9, Health care reform, including how health care is financed and delivered, is a significant societal change. The school nurse is responsible for management of this plan and communication about the plan to all appropriate school personnel. In addition, the school nurse provides for the safety of the environment by participating in environmental safety monitoring (playgrounds, indoor air quality, and potential hazards). The Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (Pub L No. Social attitudes that promote inclusion, as well as state and federal laws such as the Individuals With Disabilities Act (Pub L No. The school nurse functions as a leader and the coordinator of the school health services team. The National Association of School Nurses defines school nursing as: The school nurse serves in a leadership role for health policies and programs. However, myths and misunderstanding among parents, pediatricians, and school nurses about these laws can inadvertently hinder efficient, efficacious, and cost-effective case management of student health care needs. Increasing rates of obesity over the past several decades represent alarming risks for the current and future health of children and adolescents. The school nurse has a unique role in the provision of school health services for children with special health needs, including children with chronic illnesses and disabilities of various degrees of severity. There should be a process by which additional certification or licensure for the school nurse is established by the appropriate state board. These policies include health promotion and protection, chronic disease management, coordinated school health programs, school wellness policies, crisis/disaster management, emergency medical condition management, mental health protection and intervention, acute illness management, and infectious disease prevention and management.16. 104-191) and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Pub L No. We do not capture any email address. School health nursing services role in health care: Role of school nurse… American Academy of Pediatrics' policy has previously supported ratios of 1 school nurse to 750 students in the healthy student population and 1:225 for student populations requiring daily professional nursing services. Families face multiple barriers to adequate health care, including accessibility, availability, and affordability. Provides Leadership for Promotes Healthy School Environment Provision of Health Services Monitors immunizations Plans for responding to emergencies and disasters Implements precautions for blood borne pathogens Assesses, trains, supervises, and evaluates staff and infectious diseases Responsibilities include assessment and treatment within the scope of professional nursing practice, communication with parents, referral to physicians, and provision or supervision of prescribed nursing care. To that end, school nurses understand and educate about normal development; promote health and safety, including a healthy environment; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case-management services; and actively collaborate with physicians who work in schools, such as medical advisors and team physicians, families, community service providers, and health care providers, to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and learning.4,5, School nurses and pediatricians, both community- and school-based, working together can be a great example of team-based care, defined as the provision of comprehensive health services to individuals, families, and/or their communities by at least 2 health professionals who work collaboratively along with patients, family caregivers, and community service providers on shared goals within and across settings to achieve care that is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Increasing numbers of students enter schools with chronic health conditions that require management during the school day. Rescue medicine for epilepsy in education settings.

In this book, human society was decimated almost to extinction. Intelligent robots that the humans had created called Chines reseeded Earth and helped humanity reestablish itself, then left. Many years later, humanity is threatened by an alien enemy and sets out to find the Chines again for help.
This was a really interesting book that followed two separate sets of groups who attempted to contact the Chines. It was really great how the author depicted the Chines and their society. And even managed to create some strong characters who were Chines.
I did feel like a few of the characters in the beginning were under-developed and under-utilized. And the story could have been a tad shorter without losing anything. But overall, its a great book and well worth a read.

ANAHEIM, California, Nov. 13, 2017 — People who eat slowly are less likely to become obese or develop metabolic syndrome, a cluster of heart disease, diabetes and stroke risk factors, according to preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2017, a premier global exchange of the latest advances in cardiovascular science for researchers and clinicians.

I was told after the birth of two children, to thank my lucky stars both were girls, because I would never have to face 'empty fridge' syndrome.
I was lead to believe that the "Y" chromasome was directly responsible for the emptying of pantrys, the tornado in the kitchen, the lack of food in a household.
Well guess what? WRONG! I don't know what I am doing wrong, but these kids, at 6 and (almost) 4 are always ravenous. Even after a decent breakfast they return again and again to the kitchen. I make sure there are healthy options available to snack on: fruit, vegie sticks, popcorn, muesli bars etc, but the words "Mum, can I have something to eat?" is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
Very familiar scene in our house!
Now we are in school holidays, I know it will get worse. I know some of it may be out of boredom, so we have lots of things to do/make/watch in our time at home. However, there are only so many diversionary tactics up my sleeve, and short of putting locks on the cupboard, I cannot patrol the kitchen 24/7.
I admit, I am a grazer by nature, so it should not come as a surprise to me that my kids are doing the same. I would worry more if they were not finishing dinner, but more times than not they will clean their plates.
My worry is that I am being too soft by letting them help themselves, and in the future, mindless eating will become a habit for them. I would love to hear what the 'rule of the land' is at other homes. Is the pantry open to all, or are three meals a day the way to go?


What Exactly Are Packing Spaces Good For?
Let's start with the exterior pockets. Travelpro Rollaboards typically have two exterior pockets on the lid of the suitcase. The large one allows the traveler to store a light jacket if you're traveling to or from the cold, and you'll only need your jacket for one leg of the trip. It also provides handy access to a sweater, a book, a newspaper or magazine, or a tablet. Storing electronics in this pocket is not recommended for checked baggage, as it affords the least amount of protection from possible damage.
The smaller exterior pocket is designed to provide storage for handheld electronics, power cords, and a boarding pass. This is especially helpful if you are traveling light and don't have a separate purse or bag for such items.
There are several interior packing spaces which help segment clothing and other accessories while en route. The interior lid pocket is full-sized and is usually either mesh or lined. In some Travelpro models, our suiter system functions like a small garment bag, creating a tri-fold of a suit jacket and pants that then zips into the lid.
Putting dress shirts or other items in here you don't want to wrinkle keeps the weight of the other items off those that are delicate. This pocket is also helpful for separating accessories such as ties and undergarments if two people are sharing one suitcase.
The large accessory pockets in the main cavity can be used for shoes or anything bulky that needs to be contained. Smaller accessory pockets are designed to help store items that could get lost in the "sea" of the main compartment, such as jewelry, power cords, belts, or toiletries.
Some cases come with wet pockets, which have been lined with plastic so damp items or toiletries that could leak won't damage your other items, should they leak or explode. This area can also be used to separate dirty clothes from your remaining clean clothes or to store a damp swimsuit.
Many bags come with expansion zippers that increase the capacity of the main compartment. This option is helpful, but should be used to accommodate clothing purchased during a vacation or gifts received during a trip. If you make a habit of using this feature, you run the risk of exceeding the weight limit for your bag or drawing the attention of the attendants during boarding as being too thick for the overhead bins.
How do you use your suitcase's packing spaces? Do you just put everything into the main compartment, or do you use them for different functions and features? We'd love to hear your creative solutions in the comments, on our Facebook page, or in our Twitter stream.


In 1970, Sadhu Amar Bharati, left his wife and children and decided to completely devote himself to the Hindu god Shiva. In 1973 he wanted to show his devotion to Shiva in a unique way that would also sever him from all worldly pleasures and comforts. Amar made a vow to raise his right hand to the sky and keep it there… indefinitely. He experienced the typical numbness and tingling that we all feel when a limb "falls asleep". Even when that light tingling turned to extreme pain, Amar continued to serve Shiva, his god. After a certain amount of time, he claims the pain subsided and now the arm stands erect, seemingly on its own. The muscles have atrophied and the girth of the right arm has shrunk in relation to his left. Since clipping his nails would have required bringing the arm down, Amar hasn't trimmed them in decades. His nails are now mangled and curl around his fingers.
Perhaps even more strangely, Amar isn't alone in his one-handed salute to Shiva. He has begun to disciple other Hindu holy men who also have a raised a hand toward the sky. Some of his followers have held their hands high for over 10 years.
There are at least four different ways of making sense of this story. Where would you put yourself?
Materialist response: Amar – you are crazy doing this. Go shopping and have some fun! Save up and buy a BMW. Drink champagne and watch football on the telly.
Relativist response: Amar – I don't agree with you but I so admire the path you have freely chosen. You are being true to yourself. It's your choice. Pat yourself on your back with your left arm.
Ascetic response: Amar – you are right to torture yourself. Shiva will be pleased with your sacrifice. You are purifying your soul and you will be rewarded.
Christian response: Amar – you do not need to suffer all this pain and agony. Creation is very good and your arm is a good gift from God. On the cross Jesus died for your sins. Follow Jesus and God will forgive you. He will raise you up on the last day and give you a wonderful resurrection body with two perfect arms.

Q: Let $f :\mathbb{R}→ \mathbb{R}$ be a function such that $f^2$ and $f^3$ are differentiable. Is $f$ differentiable? Let $f :\mathbb{R}→ \mathbb{R}$ be a function such that $f^2$ and $f^3$ are differentiable. Is $f$ differentiable?
Similarly, let $f :\mathbb{C}→ \mathbb{C}$ be a function such that $f^2$ and $f^3$ are analytic. Is $f$ analytic?

A: If you do want $f^{p}$ to represent the $p^{\text{th}}$ iterate, then you can let $f$ denote the characteristic function of the irrational numbers.  Then $f^2$ and $f^3$ are both identically zero, yet $f$ is nowhere continuous, let alone differentiable.

A: In short: not necessarily in the real case, but yes in the complex case.
In the real case like in the complex one, $f$ is differentiable whenever it does not vanish and
$$
f'=\left(\frac{f^3}{f^2}\right)'=\frac{(f^3)'f^2-f^3(f^2)'}{f^4}.
$$
Real case: if $f$ vanishes, it no longer needs to be differentiable. For an alternative example to $f(x)=|x|$, observe that
$$
f(x)=x\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\quad \forall x\neq 0\qquad f(0)=0
$$
is not differentiable at $0$, while $f^2$ and $f^3$ are differentiable everywhere.
Complex case: the zeros of $f^2$ and those of $f$ coincide. If $f$ is constant equal to $0$, the result is clear. Otherwise, its zeros are isolated since $f^2$ is holomorphic non constant equal to $0$. On the open set which is the complement of these zeros, the argument above shows that $f$ is holomorphic. And $f^2$, whence $f$, is bounded near each zero. So these are removable singularities. Hence $f$ is holomorphic on its domain.
Edit: for a different argument, see this thread.
Note: if you replace the assumptions by $f^2$ (or $f^n$, $n\geq 2$, more generally) differentiable and $f$ continuous, you get the same conclusions in both cases. Indeed, where $f(x_0)\neq 0$, we have
$$
\frac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}=\frac{f^2(x)-f^2(x_0)}{x-x_0}\cdot\frac{1}{f(x)+f(x_0)}\longrightarrow \frac{(f^2)'(x_0)}{2f(x_0)}.
$$
But if you remove the continuity assumption on $f$, the complex case can fail as well. Just pick a random square root of $z$.

On July 1st Maker's Mark will release Maker's 46 their first new bourbon since the distillery began production in 1953. Now, on the surface this doesn't seem all that interesting. There are lots of bourbons on the market comprising different mash bills, distillation techniques, barrel constructions and ages. Maker's 46 doesn't follow any of those of traditional paths to obtain it's flavor profile. Maker's Mark's master distillers Bill Samuels Jr and Kevin Smith have come up with a new technique which is not only something I'd never heard of, it also produces a bourbon with a uniquely fantastic character.
Last weekend Maker's Mark offered to bring me down to the distillery in Loretto, Kentucky to experience Maker's 46 first-hand. Clearly this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I mean, when you hear the word Kentucky what's the first thing you think of, rolling hills, blue grass, horse racing? Me, I think of bourbon. It's the one spirit I feel is truly American and Kentucky is it's home. So, naturally, it was a tremendous honor for me to be invited to visit Maker's Mark in person, tour the distillery and sample their new bourbon. That said, in the spirit of full disclosure, Maker's Mark did pay for my entire trip. However, they've neither paid me to give this review nor told me what to write. The excitement for Maker's 46 you'll read here is all mine.
As Kevin Smith poured me two glasses of bourbon (one of Maker's Mark and one of Maker's 46) he explained to me that he prefers to offer his guests the "brownie" first, then while they're savoring the flavor tell them the secrets to why it's so delicious. But, to really understand and appreciate Maker's 46 you first have to understand and appreciate Maker's Mark bourbon. And that's where my education begins.
As you bring a glass of Maker's Mark to your nose for that first gentle sniff you notice the mellow brown color associated with a fully matured whiskey. In the aroma scents of caramel, toffee and vanilla are the stars. For me, the aroma of Maker's Mark brings up images of sweet desserts, creme brulee, homemade caramels, fresh vanilla pudding and the like. Suffice it to say, some seriously pleasant mental images. Now you get to take that first sip and you find that the flavor matches the aroma to a tee. All those dessert like aromas and mirrored in the flavor. And, to top it all off, Maker's Mark is tremendously smooth.
Now that I've sampled Maker's Mark and I have a fresh mental image of its aroma and flavor I pick up my glass of Maker's 46 that I've been hungrily eying since it was poured for me. The first thing I notice about Maker's 46 is the color is a touch deeper than that of Maker's Mark. The aroma of Maker's 46 holds the same elements that I love so much about Maker's Mark, but it elevates them to a new level of intensity, but there's more there too. I'm now picking up a spice quality that I didn't get in Maker's Mark. Now I get to taste. Like the aroma, the elements of vanilla, toffee and caramel are there, but punched up to new levels and with them come new spice flavors. I'm now getting hints of Christmas spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, etc) that weren't there before. As I swallow I notice the aftertaste is still very pleasant and lingers for a wonderfully long time. As I'm enjoying that lingering aftertaste I'm reminded of the flavor that you get from a cinnamon candy. I'm sure you know the flavor I'm talking about. It's the cinnamon spiciness that lingers in your mouth and seems to provide a warmth all it's own.
At this point I'm truly stunned by the complexity of flavor Maker's 46 brings. It's something I've never experienced in another bourbon. And, as I continue to enjoy this fine spirit, my excitement is renewed with each subsequent sip. Maker's 46 is a bourbon that makes me want to sit down, sip and watch the world go by. This likely doesn't sound all that amazing, but understand that the number of times I've sat down for a glass of straight bourbon I can count on one hand. Now that I've gotten to sample the metaphorical "brownie" Kevin begins to explain why the flavor is what it is.
After making their iconic bourbon for over 50 years Bill Samuels Jr and Kevin Smith were hearing some interesting things from die hard Maker's Mark drinkers. Namely Bill and Kevin were told that, while they love Maker's Mark, every now and then they like to pour a glass of something bolder and spicier. But, after they'd indulged that desire they always came back to Maker's Mark. So the idea started to coalesce that maybe Maker's Mark could produce another bourbon that would give those die hard drinkers the spicy character they crave every now and then. The immediate question was how could Maker's Mark create that flavor profile? As though that task wasn't hard enough to begin with, Bill threw a couple more wrenches into the cogs. He insisted that however they got that sought-after spiciness it couldn't be done with rye and it couldn't be done with lengthy aging.
Now Kevin had a real challenge on his hands. You see, rye inherently provides a spicy quality and lengthy aging will produce a similar flavor as the bourbon continues to interact with wood in the barrel. So Kevin began experimenting. With the help of Brad Boswell, the owner and "wood chef" of Independent Stave, Maker's Mark's cooperage they tried new barrel designs incorporating new mixes of wood types and char levels. Kevin tried new ratios of grains for the mash bills and changed up the fermentation process. However, nothing seemed to result in the flavor profile they were after. Then, one day while Bill and Kevin were discussing the failed attempts they came to a realization, they didn't have a clear vision of what the finished product would taste like. So they started brainstorming. The conclusion they came to is that they wanted to preserve the qualities of Maker's Mark that made it so delicious (vanilla, toffee, caramel, smoothness) but add a layer of spiciness that isn't usually present. At that point it became clear to them that the new bourbon should be based on fully mature Maker's Mark rather than a completely new mash bill.
Now that the goal was clear and Maker's Mark had been chosen as the base the only question that remained is how to achieve the goal. Finishing the mature bourbon turned out to be the answer. Understand that finishing whiskey is not a new development. You'll find a number of scotches that have been finished and there are even a few bourbons that are finished. However, the process that Maker's Mark uses is a first in the business. First, Kevin tried taking the mature Maker's Mark and moving it to a new charred oak barrel for a second aging. The result was not what they were looking for. Next, he turned back to their wood chef, Brad, for some ideas. The solution they decided on was to add seared wood to the matured bourbon. While this answered the question it brought up more questions. What type of wood? How much searing? How long to age the bourbon? How much wood to add to each barrel?
After a sizable number of small scale tests using wood chips the answers came clear. The seared planks that were decided on, which Brad has labeled profile 46, are ~1/4″ x 2″ x 30″ French oak that has been seasoned (air dried) for 18 months and seared very quickly at a very high temperature. The result of the searing process is a wood plank that has been toasted to just under the point of ignition.
So, now that the wood plank profile had been found, they figured out an ingenious method of suspending the planks inside the barrels to allow the whisky maximum contact with the planks while it ages. So, the decided upon process is this. Empty the fully matured Maker's Mark and pop the heads off the barrels. Attach 10, yes exactly 10, seared oak planks to the inside of the barrel. Now you put the head back on the barrel, put the ring back on that you had to take off and refill the barrel. The mixture is then allowed to age for a further 3 months. The resulting elixir is Maker's 46, named for the profile 46 planks used for the flavoring. Maker's 46 is then taken down to 94 proof, slightly higher than Maker's Mark's 90 proof, and bottled with the signature red wax.
So, now you know the process and the history behind the creation of this new bourbon expression. I know I've gushed and rambled for quite some time now and if you've come this far I have one last message to share with you. Maker's 46 is truly a fantastic bourbon and very much worth picking up a bottle. It's great to simply sip neat or on the rocks and I'm very excited about the cocktail possibilities. Look for it in stores starting July 1st with a price point of about $32.

Oregon Highway Covered in Slime in Bizarre Accident
A truck driving along a coastal highway near Depoe Bay, Oregon tipped its contents onto the roadway last Friday, July 14, while attempting to make a high-speed stop. While auto accidents are a daily occurrence, the contents of the truck were highly unusual and resulted in one of the most bizarre accident sites the Oregon State Police have ever witnessed.
Even emergency vehicles weren't spared the slimy mess.
It turns out the truck was carrying 7,500 pounds (3.4 tonnes) of hagfish when it tipped. Hagfish are a type of jawless fish which are most well-known and curious for their unique ability to produce and secrete a milky, viscous slime when distressed. A single hagfish can produce enough slime to instantly and entirely fill a 5-gallon (20-liter) bucket when it perceives a threat. For that reason, the hagfish is also referred to as the "slime eel." Thus, when the thousands of eels the truck was carrying spilled out onto the roadway, they instantly created a thick coating of slime that covered the southbound lane of highway 101 and several unfortunate cars.The scene was eerily reminiscent of Ghostbusters II.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_0bX9-p-tc
The Depoe Bay fire department was called in (a few minor injuries were reported) and attempted to hose the slime off of cars and the roadway, but the thick, fibrous eel sludge proved too difficult; bulldozers were eventually brought in to scrape the intertwined, slime-covered fish off of the highway. The company that was shipping the eels returned to collect and dispose of the slimy, stinking carcasses with an excavator the day after the accident.
The eels -and their slime - littered the highway for several hundred feet.
Based on fossil records, it is believed that hagfish have gone unchanged for over 300 million years. The bizarre, slimy fish creatures are somewhat of a taxonomic oddity due to the fact that they possess a skull but no real vertebra; hagfish are still technically classified as vertebrates, however, due to rudimentary bone-like structures running through the lengths of their bodies.
Hagfish use the slime as a deterrent and to help them escape the grasps of predators.
The slime eels were being transported to a processing facility where they were to be shipped to South Korea, where they are eaten as a delicacy. At least that's one country I can cross off my travel wish list. Mal appetit.
"No, you know what, I'm not hungry. I, uh, ate before I came."

I went out to follow up with a customer earlier this week and do a FREE rodent inspection and I found something pretty interesting once I arrived. To my surprise a rat had actually chewed through a sheet of metal put up on the baseboard to stop any re-entry. Now, I have seen some pretty determined rats in my day but to have one actually chew through metal was amazing to see. This got me thinking a little about how important preventative rodent control Austin is to both commercial and residential property owners. Rodents can cause substantial damage to property and can be very difficult to remove once inside a structure. My advice is to take just a little time every few months to look at the exterior of your property and see if there are any areas that seem to have been chewed or tampered with. This could very well be evidence that rodents are present. Also, check to make sure you don't have any tree limbs hanging over or touching the roof as this can be an easy way for unwanted critters to access vulnerable areas of your property. And of course if at all unsure call in the experts and we can take a look free of charge to let you know if something is of concern.
With these tips you should remain rodent free for years to come.
If you suspect you have rodents living in your structure call us todayor click on the button below to schedule you free rodent inspection.


So I ordered some stainless cupholders for my boat since two of the factory plastic ones blew out and I figured stainless would look better. Apparently the stainless ones are slightly bigger than my old ones and they don't fit in my existing cupholder holes. They are just barely to big and they almost fit. And I tried sanding the inside of one for an hour and I felt like I was getting no where. All of the cupholders holders are on fiberglass. Anyone know a way to make them slightly larger without much expense?
Go to Home Depot and get a sanding wheel for your drill. Use it to bore out the holes. I had to do the same thing when I switched mine a few years back. Works great.
Do they sell them small enough to fit inside the actual hole?
Do what solves all of the world's problems. Dremel.

Q: Usage of retina images and setting an UIImageView It is the first time that I need to use images with the name formats of like: @2x and -568h@2x But I do not understand when the -568@2x is used. This should be for iPhone 5 and up but, the image is not used on my iPhone 5S when testing.
I tried very hard searching for this problem, but I cannot find it.
Problem:
Only the @2x image is used on all devices, and the -568@2x is ignored totally. So there is a gap above my image on screen while I have set the UIImageView in Storyboard to fill the whole screen. So in my understanding, with the setImage it would look first in the Project folder, and then to the Asset Catalog. But still it does not take the -568@2x image and always take the @2x image.
I have also set the auto layout right for the UIImageView so it would fit top, bottom, left, right.
Code/Screen:
So I have 2 images in my Project folder as you can see on the image:
Link to image
Here is the gap on top:
Link to image
And then in my code I use this code for setting the image on my Outlet:
[[self image] setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"firstLaunch"]];

So what could be the problem? Am I totally wrong how the Automatic image names thingy is working?
Thanks!

A: You could do something like this:
CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];

if (screenBounds.size.height == 568) {
    self.view.layer.contents = (id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"firstLaunch@R4"].CGImage;
} else {
    self.view.layer.contents = (id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"firstLaunch@2x"].CGImage;
}

MTA Long Island Station Hotel Guide
New York, located on the east coast of the United States, is the world's largest economic center. The city is home to many famous landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as Wall Street and Rockefeller Center. The exquisite display windows of Fifth Avenue always guide the trends of the next season. Located within the heart of the city, Central Park offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. When compared with other cities around the world, New York has a relatively short history, but here, music, culture, and the arts have flourished. When people think of New York the first thing that pops into their minds might be skyscrapers such as the famous Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Chrysler Building, the landmark Flatiron and Woolworth Buildings. But in addition to these towering buildings, there are many also unique buildings within the city, such as the United Nations headquarters that resembles a matchbox, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, the Guggenheim Museum with a spiral structure, and so on. These buildings have become landmarks in New York and leave deep impressions on visitors.
New York is not only a leading city in economics, but also in culture. The city is the home of Broadway shows, which are famous worldwide and the city's museums hold countless treasures from all around the world. It is also home to various ethnic groups, and the places where they are concentrated, such as Chinatown, Koreatown, and Little Italy, are also popular destinations for tourists. People from all over the world live here, making New York a very diverse city. New York has a huge influence on the world, whether it's politics, economics, or fashion. The world's only international territory, the United Nations Headquarters, is also located here. Wall Street, known as the financial center of the US, attracts visitors from all over the world.
The boroughs of New York include Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Tourists usually choose to stay in Manhattan because most of the famous attractions are located there. Some visitors may choose to ascend the Empire State Building or Rockefeller Center for amazing panoramic views of Manhattan. In addition to the skyscrapers, the Statue of Liberty on the Hudson River is also a landmark in New York. Visitors can take a boat to the island to visit the Statue of Liberty and overlook the Brooklyn Bridge. Other well-known attractions include Fifth Avenue and Times Square, one of the busiest areas in the city. There, countless billboards display the latest information and fashion trends from all over the world, and on the streets, tourists can be heard speaking languages from all around the world. Fifth Avenue is usually crowded no matter what time of day you visit, but the windows of the luxury shops there are not to be missed.
New York is not only a busy city, there are also places to go for quiet and leisure. Greenwich Village, located 10 minutes away from the Midtown skyscrapers, feels almost like another world. Its quiet streets, secluded courtyards, tree-lined parks, and red-brick villas all provide an area suitable for taking walks.
Whether you visit in the spring, summer, or autumn, sunny days are a great chance to have a picnic on the grass or fly a kite in Central Park. Events are often held within the park and there's always something to see. The spring and early summer from April to July is the best time to visit. In the summer, during August and September, highs are around 30°C and there are occasional showers in the afternoon. The autumn temperatures in October are relatively cool, comfortable, and very suitable for travel. After the city enters winter in November, it begins to get relatively cold. There are often snowstorms from the period between Christmas and New Year.
In terms of accommodation, there are tons of New York hotels to choose from. Manhattan is the main tourist area and home to many attractions, restaurants, shopping and entertainment facilities. For this reason, most tourists will choose to stay here. For those looking for other types of accommodations, hotel prices in Brooklyn and Queens are lower, but they are a bit far from the main attractions. It should be noted that Wi-Fi in most hotel rooms in New York requires an additional fee.
