Ask an experienced grower to describe a perfect crop plant, and this is what he would say: Vigorous, active growth. Healthy: no bugs or disease problems. Sturdy, compact shape. Good established branch structure. Healthy, deep root system. Can use high light levels. Able to take up and use very strong fertilizers. Can benefit from increased C02 levels. Makes good use of growth hormone treatments.
Each of these qualities contributes to high crop yields. Healthy plants can produce more crop; good branch structure supplies the framework to hold the crop, and so on. And these desirable qualities are inter related; A sick, bug infested plant can't use strong foods, and a poorly lit, crowded plant will lose its compact shape as it stretches for the light. Developing winning qualities in your plants depends on creating the right combination of growing conditions in the garden.
The key to having perfect crop plants is to grow perfect green plants. "Training" green growth plants to use high light levels, strong nutrient mixes, extra C02 and growth hormones gives these plants the ability to handle all these growth enhancers during their crop production stage. You'll have a vigorous healthy "green" garden while setting up your plants for maximum yield in crop production.
So how do we grow perfect green plants?
Give plants a smooth transition from propagation stage (rooted cuttings and seedlings) into green growth stage.
Plan your green growth strategy.
Fine tune growing conditions in the green room. 4. Be certain crops are free of disease and pests.
Growers who increase fertilizer strength too quickly during this transition stage can permanently stunt the root systems of their plants, while forcing excessive new top growth. At first everything looks great lots of new leaves and stems, and no sign of problems. However, as the plants grow larger during green growth stage, the stunted roots are unable to meet the increased water demand of the, top growth, and the plants wilt, usually during the last few hours of the light cycle. This problem becomes more severe during production stage, as these plants attempt to produce crop without enough roots to support the water demand of the top growth.
Even a mild nutrient solution can turn deadly in a reservoir that lacks proper aeration. Nutrients can settle to the bottom of the reservoir between watering, and a pump sitting on the bottom of the reservoir can pump ultra strong nutrients directly to the roots of the plants. This could result in damaged roots and possible disease problems, as well as permanent stunting of the root systems, as described above. Growers using rockwool or potting soil mediums must be sure to aerate their nutrient solutions well to avoid this problem, since their pumps are off for longer periods than gardeners using hydro-corn or lava rock mediums.
Gradual increases in light levels, nutrient strength and air movement will help your transplants make the transition into green growth smoothly and without set backs.
First, decide how long your plants will be in green growth stage. Often, the plants are kept in green growth until they reach a target height, or until a crop production area becomes open for them.
Do not use growth hormones during this brief green growth period.
Gradually increase light levels and air movement as plants show new growth.
Apply growth hormones and increase fertilizer strength gradually as plants become established (active growth in full light).
Repeat hormone applications every 10 14 days.
Stop applying hormones two weeks before the end of green growth stage.
Now's the time to evaluate the growing conditions in your green growth area. Are plants carefully spaced to allow room for them to grow? Are light levels good? Temperature? Air movement? Make improvements where they'll make the biggest difference to your green plants. Healthy vigorous plants will reward you for your hard work by reaching "target size" quickly, and they'll fight off disease and pest problems better, too.
When evaluating your garden, consider basic growing conditions first. High light levels are an important requirement for young vigorous plants, powering their growth and building their ability to use strong nutrients, extra C02 and growth hormones. How you use your lamps is just as important as how many you have] Be sure you're lighting your crops efficiently (your retail supply store staff can help) and monitor temperature regularly to avoid heat stress in your plants. Evaluate air movement through the garden.
Do you have enough oscillating fans? Are they located for maximum efficiency? Can your exhaust fan handle the heat and humidity of the garden? Good air movement cools overheated plants and helps them take up fertilizers faster. Air flow through the plants replaces stale, humid air with fresh, C02 rich air, encouraging good growth while it discourages bugs and disease problems. Evaluate the irrigation schedule : Do crops get too dry between watering? Do they stay wet? Aim for a good mix of air and water around the roots.
If you can successfully manage all these growing conditions in your green garden, you've gained valuable experience you can put to use in your crop production area too!
Got bugs? Kill them now! We can handle bug problems easily when our plants are small (fewer hiding places) and still in green growth. Once flowers or crops show on plants, our choice of pesticides is very limited, since some bug sprays can damage flowers and contaminate crops. Besides, why bring problems into your crop production room riding in on pale, half dead plants! Get the bugs out of your garden and your life now, while your plants are still young. They'll recover quickly and you'll have a healthy vigorous garden right away. Take advantage of the new pesticides. They're safer and less damaging to your plants, and they get the job done. Your local retail supply store can help you choose the right product and explain the best way to use it.
Follow the same strategy immediate action if signs of disease appear in your garden. Fast treatment minimizes damage and stops disease problems before they gel. . . a firm hold on your plants.
Often diseases develop in the garden because of stress or poor growing conditions that weaken plants and encourage infection.
High humidity levels, poor air movement, excess heat, roots too wet or too dry, strong pesticide applications, very strong or weak fertilizer mixes review the recent history of the garden to learn what happened to reduce the natural disease resistance of your plants, and correct garden conditions to help your plants recover and avoid future disease problems. Start using a recommended fungicide at first sign of disease, and use a vitamin based product (Vitamax) to help plants recover quickly.
Once you have good growing conditions in place, and plants are free of pests and diseases, it's time to "crank 'em up" to train your plants to use stronger foods, extra C02 and growth hormones. Building the metabolic rate of your green plants results in faster green growth while building the ability of the plants to use all these growth enhancers later in crop production stage.
For example, a grower might gradually increase the food strength of his healthy, established green plants from 1800 ppm (a standard full strength green growth formula) to 2400 ppm, watching his plants closely for any signs of over feeding. He helps his plants to use this stronger nutrient solution by applying growth hormones and extra C02 when he starts increasing his food strength. Without training his plants during green growth stage, chances are he would not be able to increase his food strength during his period of crop production. (See Intensive Crop Production, for more details on managing plants during this growth stage). It makes good sense to train our green growth plants, since we expect them to "run a marathon" for us every day, during crop production stage.
Now for the good news: our crop producing plants have been brainwashed by hundreds of millions of years of intense competition in the wilds, and molded into tireless workers eager to produce maximum crop yield for you. Careful breeding has produced your hybrid plant, with its own specialized skills often the ability to produce an improved quality or quantity of crop. Your garden is on your side, and your plants want to work for you to produce great crop yields. By recognizing and understanding the abilities of your plants, you'll understand the benefits of improving growing conditions and using these crop management techniques.

Q: How to Interpret Conditional Distribution Considering the following contingency table:

We calculate the conditional distribution for the city Manchester:

*

*Why do we need the conditional distribution and how we interpret the result?

*Is conditional distribution different from conditional probability distribution?

A:

*

*Why do we need the conditional distribution and how we interpret the result?

In your data, you can calculate the probability for the Manchester subgroup of belonging to the group "Football Fan" as 30/(30+50)=0.37, while the probability for other cities may differ, for example it is 24/(20+24)=0.54 for London, or 92/(92+108)=0.46 for all the data. Those are empirical probabilities, the estimates of the probabilities from your sample.

*Is conditional distribution different from conditional probability distribution?

In probability theory, we are dealing with probability distributions. If you are referring to the empirical (observed) distribution of the data, it can be presented as counts $n_i$ (frequency distribution) or empirical probabilities $n_i \big/ \sum_i n_i$ (probability distribution).

M31N 2008-12a - A remarkable system and an equally remarkable Pro-Am collaboration
Title of Abstract
Presenting author first name
Pro-Am Collaborations in Astronomy
Contribution Type
Author List (including presenting author)
M. J. Darnley (LJMU), M. Henze (SDSU), on behalf of the '12a Collaboration'
M31N 2008-12a is a remarkable recurrent nova which has unprecedented annual eruptions. Located in the Andromeda Galaxy this accreting white dwarf has grown to almost the Chandrasekhar mass and accumulates matter more rapidly than any other known white dwarf. The annual eruptions are both faint and exceptionally short-lived, but over time a vast nova 'super-remnant' has been grown around the central system.
The '12a Collaboration' is a group of around 100 astronomers, half of which are employed to do astronomy, the other half are not. The contributions from groups such as the BAA, AAVSO, VSOLJ, and individuals to this project are priceless.
In this talk I will talk about '12a' itself, how it has revolutionised nova-physics, and how this research is only made possible by the fabulous Pro-Am team that has come together. I will include stories of some of the heroic efforts many members of our team have gone to in order to obtain observations of this system!
Our future plans are to continue this fruitful collaboration for 12a as it evolves towards an eventual type Ia supernova explosion in (hopefully much) less than 20,000 years.

I recently had a day of finishing some overdue gifts and trying out some new patterns and tutorials I've come across over the past few months, trying to clear up my desk and 'to do' pile in the sewing room.
Last December I gave Sam this red work stitchery (A Red Brolly design) for her birthday letting her choose how she wanted it made up. As her business is called Four Red Hens, this pattern seemed so very appropriate.
She asked for a hanging and it has sat in my craft room for the past 8 months until I found the perfect fabric to frame it. So very thankful for her patience in waiting for the finished gift.
When we met all the wonderful crafters in Melbourne at Let's Get Stitched, several of them had gorgeous project bags they'd made following Marilyn's tutorial on her Mardi Meanderings blog. I have been wanting to try making one ever since and finally got around to it. Let me say, an easy to follow tutorial and this won't be the only one I'll be making - already planning some in different sizes and fabrics. This one is a gift for Sam as she has gone above and beyond playing nurse and driver as I've had another trip to hospital. (Thinking I might whip up some chocolate fudge for the men in her family who let her come visit and help me out.) The small red floral fabric was a gift to Sam on that same weekend from one of the other ladies, the blue from my stash matches in really well.
While watching a you tube video the other day I spied one from the Missouri Star Quilt Co for Chicken pin cushions. So, whilst I had the red spot out to frame the chook stitchery, I whipped one of them up from the left over pieces. After a slight hiccup where I attached the tail feather to the wrong side, I had it done in no time. I chose to embroider the eyes on this one. I can also see some of these filled with rice and cloves to keep in the kitchen as an ant deterrent. Seeing as it's a chook and red, thinking this pincushion will also go live at Sam's and Four Red Hens.
A few nights later I whipped up another one, so quick, easy & lots of fun.
I also took the opportunity to plan ahead and whip up this table centre for a 90th birthday gift. The birthday girl is a sewer herself, a wonderful mother in the house of our church and I was so thrilled to be included in the birthday celebrations. Whilst she asked for a donation to charity in lieu of a gift, I just wanted to make something pretty especially for her.
All in all, a productive and enjoyable day of sewing with a slightly smaller pile of 'to do' projects on my sewing table.

Q: parent id for category and subcategory I use L8 And I have a category table ,it has parent_id for my subcategories
categories table
Category model
categoryController
SubCategoryController
categories.blade
sub_categories.blade
In my subcategory-index.blade.php I want to show categories but I just can show them with their id (parent id)
I don't know how to show categories title instead of their id.
I have this migration for categories table :
public function up()
    {

        Schema::dropIfExists('categories');
        Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->unsignedBigInteger('parent_id')->default(123);

            $table->string('title');
            $table->longText('description');
            $table->tinyInteger('status')->comment('status is 1 when a category is active and it is 0 otherwise.')->nullable();

            $table->rememberToken();
            $table->softDeletes();
            $table->timestamps();

        });
    }

and this is my category model :
class Category extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
         'parent_id','title' , 'description', 'status',
    ];

    public function children(){
        return $this->hasMany(Category::class , 'parent_id');
    }

    public function post(){
        return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
    }
}

And my subcategory controller :
...

public function index()
    {
        $parent_id = Category::with('parent_id')->get();
        $subcategories = Category::where('parent_id' ,'!=', 123)->get();
         return view('admin.subcategories.subcategories-index' , compact('subcategories'));
    }
...

And the part for show subcategory title in category-index.blade.php :

            #
            id
            title
            category
            status
            operation

        @foreach($subcategories as $subcategory )

            {{ $loop->iteration }}
           {{ $subcategory['id'] }}
           {{ $subcategory['title'] }}
           {{ $subcategory['parent_id']}}

               @if($subcategory['status']==0 or $subcategory['status']==NULL)
                inactive
               @else
               active
               @endif

               <form method="POST" action="{{ route('subcategory.destroy',$subcategory->id) }}">
                   id) }}">show
                   id) }}">edit
                   @csrf
                   @method('DELETE')
                   <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger"> delete</button>

               </form>

        @endforeach

Thanks for telling me what to do :>

A: The line down below is incorrect. Because with() is used to get relational data and parent_id is not a relation name.
$parent_id = Category::with('parent_id')->get();

If your route contains the id or slug of the category, you can use it, but I think it doesn't, because your index function doesn't accept any route parameter. So I assume you are trying to fetch all categories and subcategories. But in this case, the second line of the index function doesn't make sense at all.
If you want to all categories:
$categories = Category::where('parent_id', null)->with('children')->get();

I see you use 123 for top-level categories, and it looks high enough. But nullable is a better practice for that purpose.
If you need a specific category and its subcategories:
// web.php
Route::get('category/{slug}', [CategoryController::class, 'index']);

// CategoryConteroller.php
public function index($slug)
{
    $category = Category::where('slug', $slug)->with('children')->get();
}

A: To get subcategories
$sub_categories = Category::whereNotNull('parent_id')->get();

To get sub-categories with parent
$sub_categories_with_parent = Category::with('parent')->whereNotNull('parent_id')->get();

To fetch categories
$categories = Category::whereNull('parent_id')->get();

To fetch categories with children
$categories_with_childern = Category::with('children')->whereNull('parent_id')->get();

You might have to redefine your relations as well:
public function parent()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
}

public function children()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Category::class , 'parent_id');
}

In migration define relation as well
$table->foreign('parent_id')->references('id')->on('categories')->onUpdate('cascade')->onDelete('cascade');

Make parent field nullable
$table->unsignedBigInteger('parent_id')->nullable()->default(123);

War tears at every fiber of society, but conflict doesn't have to be violent to harm communities. Mercy Corps works to help families rebuild after the destruction of war, and engages citizens to find mutually beneficial solutions for change.
Especially in post-conflict settings, we facilitate collaboration between government officials and the people they serve, leading to more accountable and productive leadership. Addressing the root causes of conflict today can help avoid tomorrow's wars and other crises.
Ethiopia: Coping with drought by building peace
We sent out a team to research why one drought-stricken community was coping so well. The findings were striking: When local conflict had been addressed, people were far better equipped to survive the drought.
Iraq: From protest to power
Our program saved lives this past August. It was one of the most encouraging things I've seen in Iraq in the last 10 years.
Yemen: Beyond protests, a country working to thrive
Yemen does not have a movie theater and only 11% of the population has access to the Internet. Nonetheless, "Innocence of Muslims," the now notorious film that mocks Prophet Muhammad, generated violent protests in the capital of Sana'a this week.
Libya: U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens inspires continued work for progress
Back in July 2011, in the heat of the battle for Libya, I sat with Chris Stevens — then the U.S. government's special envoy to the Libyan opposition — in his compound in Benghazi.
Remembering Roger Fisher
We were saddened to learn that Roger Fisher passed away last Saturday, 25 August, in Hanover, New Hampshire.
Kenya: Using sports to ignite global youth potential
After being shot in the chest with an arrow, David was forced to wait nearly two weeks for treatment. Lack of medical resources wasn't the problem — even though an ambulance took David almost immediately to the hospital, members of an opposing tribe refused to operate on him.
Yemen: Protecting children in the crossfire
Seven-year-old Hadiel looked forward to starting first grade last year at Nusaybah school, in the heart of Yemen's capital of Sana'a. But the presence of heavily armed soldiers and certainty of violence kept her home.
Guatemala: Amanda's mission: Women helping women
Amanda Sacul's job is twofold: to mediate disputes over land — disputes that prevent families from moving forward economically — and to train other indigenous women how to resolve these conflicts themselves.
South Sudan: From the field: Local market perseveres after attacks
Mercy Corps staff visit the local market in Bentiu that was damaged in recent aerial attacks, part of the ongoing conflict with Sudan to the north.
South Sudan: Back to work after bombings
Much of our work is about giving people the resources they need to build healthy, safe and productive lives for the longterm. To do so in areas where conflict threatens not just livelihoods, but lives, can be especially challenging.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic and thyme and cook, turning the shrimp once, until lightly browned, 3 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, then add the peas, tomatoes and wine, bring to a boil, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the cover and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Meanwhile, cook the ravioli according to a package directions and drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add the pasta to the pea-tomato mixture along with the shrimp and the basil, then add the butter and toss to until melted to coat. Season with salt and pepper, divide among plates, and garnish with additional basil if desired.

Who doesn't like Italian food? I can it all the time. The feast may begin with a starter, for example a bread being dipped in the olive produced in local vineyards. Next is pizza, lasagne, pasta. For drink it can be an Italian coffee or a glass of fine Italian wine. The wine is also from the the local vineyards. For dessert, panna cotta or tiramisu, or other sweets are waiting.
This is just a small sample of what is waiting for us. How will we pay for that? The prices are listed below.
Coperto - so-called a tip included to the service price. Usually it costs 1 euro, but it may be slightly higher in better, more expensive restaurants. It is paid only by the person who orders a meal. For example, three people come together to the restaurant. Two of them drink beer, wine or coffee, one person takes some meal. Only this one person pays for the coperto.
A bread is always brought before the main meal. It is gratis. Olive is always on the table, so it is also for free.
Pizza, lasagne, pasta and other traditional Italian dishes are more or less at similar prices. However, typical dinner is much more expensive. Please note, that the pizza is only one standard size, suitable for one person.


How To Get Your Teen To Lose Weight, Part 1: How To Begin?
If you're concerned that your teen is overweight or obese, how on earth do you bring it up?
Weight can be a really hard topic for parents to bring up with their kids. You don't want to hurt their self-esteem or make them feel badly about themselves- especially during the teenage years, when confidence is so fragile to begin with. Some parents do comment on their teen's weight directly, which can cause feelings of resentment, defiance, and guilt. Others try to soften the observances by couching them in a joking manner, which is unlikely to be helpful- see Teasing About Weight Hurts.
It's a lot easier for anyone to hear "I'm worried because you're not exercising, and eating a lot of fast food, and I'm worried about your health," than "I'm worried because I think you're overweight." One comment focuses on what your teen is doing, and the other focuses on what they are.
If your teen sees nothing wrong with their weight or health or behaviors, you're not going to get very far. Nobody can be pushed into change. Some teens are happy with their bodies, although they are few and far between. If your teen is one of them, trying to convince them to change their point of view is not going to do anything but create conflict. Give it a few months, and then explore the topic again.
Once you've brought up your concerns, the first step is a visit to your primary care provider. He or she can examine your teen, do some lab tests, and make sure there isn't a medical, treatable reason for your teen's weight, such as a thyroid problem. Most likely, they will clear your teen medically and encourage more activity and less junk food. They might even refer them to our Wellness Clinic, where we work with teens who have problems with excess weight.
More activity! Less junk food! We should all do that. It's easy… right?
We proudly avoid our favorite doughnuts, until the day when we're really tired and hungry and a jelly doughnut looks absolutely perfect, and since we're breaking our diet anyway and this is the only jelly doughnut we're ever likely to have again, we end up eating four. Then we feel absurdly guilty and depressed about our "failure".
Maybe it's not so easy.
What questions do you have about weight loss in teens?

Navistar to shut down, lay off workers and sell its 84-acre manufacturing facility in Melrose Park, which is set for redevelopment
By Lori Waxman
Individual works from Deborah Boardman's current exhibition at the Experimental Sound Studio, titled "I can't go on. I'll go on." (Deborah Boardman)
Legendary performance artist Chris Burden died two weeks ago from melanoma. The man who in the 1970s evolved body art by having his own body shot with a handgun, nailed to a Volkswagen Beetle hood, electrocuted by live wires and kicked down a flight of stairs was finally done in, after 18 months of illness, by malignant tumors that spread beyond the single largest organ of his body: his skin. He was 69.
Burden was known for testing the limits of materials, most importantly the material that is the human body, more specifically his own. The irony of him succumbing to cancer seems poignant, or maybe cruel, but perhaps it is really neither. We are all of us waiting to die, whether or not we consciously acknowledge this incontrovertible fact of life. Resistance to death is both futile and impossible. It will come now, or it will come soon, or it will come later. Mostly we ignore this situation, because it can be very hard to get through the day with death in the foreground, or even in the background.
An artist's personal experience of serious illness — or an art critic's, for that matter — rarely intrudes directly in his or her professional work. But it is also always there. Nevertheless, it would be a ghoulish game of numbers to count backward to the opening of Burden's five-story retrospective at the New Museum in New York, which opened at the end of 2013, to try to figure out when and where something went awry in the DNA of his skin cells. It would also be none of your business. Or mine.
The same cannot be said for Deborah Boardman's solo installation of a canopied bed, geometric paintings and bright banners at Experimental Sound Studio in Ravenswood. The artist's diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer is right there, hand-lettered on a pair of bed pillows fluffed up in the center of the gallery. DUCTAL, CARCINOMA, METASTASIS and their ilk are terrifying words, all the more so because they are doctor's lingo, clinical terminology that reduces a complex being to a diseased body. But these terms are hand-painted in the prettiest hues this side of the rainbow, and their insistent radiance seems determined to keep the doctor at bay. If not the doctor, then at least feelings of unbearable despair.
The show is titled "I can't go on. I'll go on." The words come first from a novel by Samuel Beckett and second from an article by the neuroscientist Paul Kalanithi on the essence of living with a terminal cancer diagnosis. They come third from Boardman, whose artwork has for the past two decades swirled tragicomically around dreams and memories, community and nature, alternately taking the form of artist books, choral singing, kinetic sculpture or wallpaper, and very often looking like simple geometric patterns and shapes, even when recording the layout of a room or a vase of flowers.
Despite the devastating medical statement at its center — possibly because of it — Boardman's installation is not about dying. It's not about her dying, or me dying, or you dying. It's not about your mother or your aunt or your best friend's sister dying. It's about not dying or, at least, not dying yet. Which isn't exactly the same as being about life, about being alive. It's what life looks like in that gracious limbo between life and death, between not being able to go on, and going on.
Gracious limbo — that could be the name of a dance whirled under Boardman's feisty banners, beneath her dappled canopy. Dancing, what is there to see? Not really see, but notice:
The banners, of which there are eleven in all, each bisected into a loose painting on the left and a few lines of text on the right, do not proclaim uplifting messages. They aren't glum either, but rather fragmentary and sensuous. They look like lists kept by a poetic diarist, lists that could be labeled "Things that please me" or "Attitudes succumbed to" or "The body as material." In fact, the words narrate bits of Boardman's dreams, which she wrote down daily for nearly a year. Longer versions can be heard in the audio piece that accompanies the exhibition, read by close friends and family who supported the artist when she was bedridden this past winter.
The rest of the exhibition is prescribed according to a neon orange line taped diagonally across the floor. The bed and canopy are placed along it. It recurs in paintings small and large, hung on the surrounding walls. The arrangement works well, for obvious compositional reasons. The tape is not there primarily for form, however, but to indicate an inactive fault line that professional dowsers discovered beneath the gallery building. Dowsers use divination to locate ground water or buried minerals, and Boardman has hired them before, but I've never really understood why — until now.
Dowsing aims to locate invisible currents, along which findings big or small, good, bad or neutral may occur. Doctors do likewise with the battery of tests and imaging they employ to analyze the body, and we believe them, as earlier generations believed dowsers. Will malignant cancer really grow and spread from that microcarcinoma in the thyroid? Is the fear of it worth excising a chunk of the body and taking a replacement hormone pill daily for life? Will oil really spurt from that place in the ground where the diviner's rod shook? Will water flow? The comparison is appalling and absurd, and it also isn't.

There's a sick bed in the midst of these musings, aligned with a fault line that will hopefully remain inactive, with the help of chemotherapy and radiation. But there's no ignoring the possibility that it might one day become a deathbed. The thousands of colorful skulls that hold together the bed's cut muslin canopy suggest as much, as well as a possible attitude toward that occurrence.

Conscious communicators are extremely aware of both the specific words that come out of their mouth as well as how those words come out of their mouth.
This comes in many forms, such as, the syntax or order of the words, the tone and inflection of each of the words, the quantity of the words that are used, as well as the proper use of the words applied in situations.
In my decade long study of leadership and workplace communication, I've found that there are 7 especially damaging mistakes across those many contexts above that tend to cause significant problems between people both in the workplace and out. I call them "The 7 Deadliest Sins of Communication" and they can be applied to virtually any human interaction.
I'll be covering each of these seven communication sins in more detail individually over the next seven weeks, dedicating one blog post to each. You can get a head start on these by downloading the free white paper report on which this series is based at www.HowToImproveLeadershipCommunication.com .

Visual Attention
Sabine Kastner and Timothy J. Buschman
Natural scenes are cluttered and contain many objects that cannot all be processed simultaneously. Due to this limited processing capacity, neural mechanisms are needed to selectively enhance the information that is most relevant to one's current behavior and to filter unwanted information. We refer to these mechanisms as "selective attention." Attention has been studied extensively at the behavioral level in a variety of paradigms, most notably, Treisman's visual search and Posner's paradigm. These paradigms have also provided the basis for studies directed at understanding the neural mechanisms underlying attentional selection, both in the form of neuroimaging studies in humans and intracranial electrophysiology in non-human primates. The selection of behaviorally relevant information is mediated by a large-scale network that includes regions in all major lobes as well as subcortical structures. Attending to a visual stimulus modulates processing across the visual processing hierarchy with stronger effects in higher-order areas. Current research is aimed at characterizing the functions of the different network nodes as well as the dynamics of their functional connectivity.
Motion Processing in Primates
Tyler S. Manning and Kenneth H. Britten
The ability to see motion is critical to survival in a dynamic world. Decades of physiological research have established that motion perception is a distinct sub-modality of vision supported by a network of specialized structures in the nervous system. These structures are arranged hierarchically according to the spatial scale of the calculations they perform, with more local operations preceding those that are more global. The different operations serve distinct purposes, from the interception of small moving objects to the calculation of self-motion from image motion spanning the entire visual field. Each cortical area in the hierarchy has an independent representation of visual motion. These representations, together with computational accounts of their roles, provide clues to the functions of each area. Comparisons between neural activity in these areas and psychophysical performance can identify which representations are sufficient to support motion perception. Experimental manipulation of this activity can also define which areas are necessary for motion-dependent behaviors like self-motion guidance.
Auditory Processing in the Aging Brain
Gregg Recanzone
Age-related hearing loss affects over half of the elderly population, yet it remains poorly understood. Natural aging can cause the input to the brain from the cochlea to be progressively compromised in most individuals, but in many cases the cochlea has relatively normal sensitivity and yet people have an increasingly difficult time processing complex auditory stimuli. The two main deficits are in sound localization and temporal processing, which lead to poor speech perception. Animal models have shown that there are multiple changes in the brainstem, midbrain, and thalamic auditory areas as a function of age, giving rise to an alteration in the excitatory/inhibitory balance of these neurons. This alteration is manifest in the cerebral cortex as higher spontaneous and driven firing rates, as well as broader spatial and temporal tuning. These alterations in cortical responses could underlie the hearing and speech processing deficits that are common in the aged population.
What is a Sequence? The Neural Mechanisms of Perceptual, Motor, and Task Sequences Across Species and Their Interaction with Addiction
Theresa M. Desrochers and Theresa H. McKim
Sequences permeate daily life. They can be defined as a discrete series of items or states that occur in a specific order with a beginning and end. The brain supports the perception and execution of sequences. Perceptual sequences involve tracking regularities in incoming stimuli, such as the series of sounds that make up a word in language. Executed sequences range from the series of muscle activations used by a frog to catch a fly to a chess master mapping her next moves. How the brain controls sequences must therefore scale to multiple levels of control. Investigating how the brain functions to accomplish this task spans from the study of individual cells in the brain to human cognition. Understanding the neural systems that underlie sequential control is necessary to approach the mechanistic underpinnings of complex conditions such as addiction, which may be rooted in difficult-to-extinguish sequential behaviors. Current research focuses on studies in both animal and human models and spans the levels of complexity of sequential control and the brain systems that support it.
Somatosensory System Organization in Mammals and Response to Spinal Injury
Corinna Darian-Smith and Karen Fisher
Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects well over a million people in the United States alone, and its personal and societal costs are huge. This article provides a current overview of the organization of somatosensory and motor pathways, in the context of hand/paw function in nonhuman primate and rodent models of SCI. Despite decades of basic research and clinical trials, therapeutic options remain limited. This is largely due to the fact that (i) spinal cord structure and function is very complex and still poorly understood, (ii) there are many species differences which can make translation from the rodent to primate difficult, and (iii) we are still some way from determining the detailed multilevel pathway responses affecting recovery. There has also been little focus, until recently, on the sensory pathways involved in SCI and recovery, which are so critical to hand function and the recovery process. The potential for recovery in any individual depends on many factors, including the location and size of the injury, the extent of sparing of fiber tracts, and the post-injury inflammatory response. There is also a progression of change over the first weeks and months that must be taken into account when assessing recovery. There are currently no good biomarkers of recovery, and while axon terminal sprouting is frequently used in the experimental setting as an indicator of circuit remodeling and "recovery," the correlation between sprouting and functional recovery deserves scrutiny.


Golden State Warriors swingman Andre Iguodala says that there is nothing that can take the place of real live, sweaty, intense and competitive sports. The 2015 Finals MVP is adamant that not even the most advanced technology can replace what it's like to be at an arena, field or stadium — including virtual reality.
In October, NBA Digital announced it was partnering with NextVR – which Warriors co-owner Peter Guber invested in – to live stream one game per week on NBA League Pass in virtual reality.
Still, Iguodala maintains that virtual reality will never take the place of what it is like to experience a live sporting event.
The 6-foot-6 former All Star is a technology proponent. He has invested in Facebook, Tesla and Apple tech stocks and is also a leader of the National Basketball Players Association technology summit. Even his upcoming bobblehead features a VR headset.

Few days after the Tamil Nadu cabinet, in contract to the opinion of the central government, recommended the release of all convicts languished in the state prison in connection with the murder of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the former Sri Lankan president, Mahinda Rajapaksha –the person who played a vital role in eliminating the threat of LTTE from the Lankan soil- who has reached Delhi to deliver a public lecture on the subject "Indian-Sri Lankan Relations", has, while interacting with some media personals, indirectly opined that he would have thought differently had he been in the position of the Tamil Nadu government.
Mr Rajapaksha is considered as the most powerful rightist leader the Sinhala-majority Island nation has ever witnessed. Many Sinhala people consider him as a star icon for his contributions in bringing the threat posed by the LLTE –a terror organisation waged a two decade long brutal civil war against the state to establish a nation for the Tamil community, which is the prime minority community in the Island country- to an end.
While speaking to the media persons, he has expressed his confidence in his political future and his party's victory in the upcoming general election in the Island country, which shares a close historical relation with India.


While Conservation Works is still in its infancy (the organization doesn't even have a website yet), Solberg is confident its message will resonate.
To be fair, there were still climate change skeptics and global warming deniers in attendance at the Manning Networking Conference. But their ranks were slim and voices muted among the greater discussion of expanding the Conservative 'big tent'. As Preston Manning said in his Saturday keynote address, "We need to change the climate of the environmental conversation in Canada…[because] whether we agree or not, whether it's fair or not, the bad news is that this perceived deficiency on the environmental front has become a political and economic liability."
And the Conservatives are not here to lose.
Throughout the convention, the halls buzzed with talk of the latest National Post pollshowing that Justin Trudeau's Liberals would beat the Conservatives handily if an election were held right now. The Manning Centre's own 'Barometer Poll' revealed a similar result, including the surprising statistic that the majority of Canadians would rate environmental protection a higher priority than oil sands expansion. If the Conservatives want to ensure a majority victory in 2015, they need to show Canadians they can be environmental leaders and "harness a multitude of local and small-scale initiatives to the task – the "little platoons" of civil society".
It's a place where Manning feels Conservatives can hold the moral high ground, particularly at the federal level.
The final speaker of the convention is British politician and YouTube celebrity Nigel Farage. He mugs and crows his way through a bold denial of the existence of global warming, delivering a 'fact' I first heard from Lord Moncton when he was posing as the delegate from Myanmar at the UN climate talks in Doha, Qatar. The assertion that the planet has not warmed since 1990 is as far from the truth as Master Farage wishes to be from the Eurozone.
Still, as he says it, I hear someone to my left start applauding as Farage lays down the hammer on the green agenda. They managed only three brief claps before realizing the room was otherwise silent.
It's a small moment, but with everything I've seen this weekend, it feels like a sign. And somewhere in downtown Toronto, a certain TV personality frowns.

What Changed for Homer Bailey in Oakland?
Please Credit: Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
By Brandon Warne - February 25, 2020
The Minnesota Twins signed a pair of starting pitchers on New Year's eve — and it's fair to say Rich Hill received more fanfare of the two.
While Homer Bailey's deal was for more guaranteed money — $7 million to Hill's $3 million — it was Hill who received more digital ink spillage over the days that followed the agreements.
It's not entirely unreasonable to surmise that Hill was more talked about due to his pedigree (3.00 ERA over the last four seasons), health (primary revision surgery in November) and the team he was defecting from (Los Angeles Dodgers), but the reality is that Bailey is going to make a more immediate impact on the Twins' pitching plans.
There are a lot of ways to remember Bailey's career to this point. One could remember the hot-shot prospect from more than a dozen years ago, the pitcher who pitched well enough to earn a $100 million-plus contract, the pitcher whose injuries turned him into a salary dump at the end of it or more recently, the pitcher who is coming off a bounce-back season of sorts — split between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics.
The stint with the Royals was enough to get him traded to a contender near the deadline, but we'd like to narrow our focus to just his time with the A's. Rather, we'd like to go down that road and perhaps even more narrow — the final two months of the 2019 season.
When the Royals inked Bailey a little over a year ago, it was as a reclamation project of sorts. The righty had only thrown 231.2 innings over the previous four seasons — and at a 6.25 ERA. And while Bailey's numbers weren't terrific with the Royals — 4.80 ERA (4.48 FIP) in 90.0 innings with 8.1 K/9, 3.8 BB/9 and a 1.41 WHIP — clearly Oakland saw enough from him to think they could help him with a tweak or two.
So what were those tweaks?
Bailey made his Royals debut at home against the Twins on April 3, and from the following image, we can see that he sets up fairly far over on the right side of the pitching rubber.
(please credit: MLB.tv screenshot)
It might not be something fans think about much, but where a pitcher sets up on the rubber is definitely a big part of how they conduct their business. It was a concept Kyle Gibson explained to me while writing for another publication, and it's one that's pretty easy to understand. Different spots on the rubber do different things for pitchers based on handedness and repertoire, among other things.
For a righty who throws a certain type of slider, it might make more sense to start from the far right of the rubber. In that case, the righty can front-door a slider on the inside corner for a strike against a right-handed hitter. The gist of it is this: some pitches make sense to have out of the strike zone for as long as possible on the path home before breaking across the plate late. Other pitches might be better used starting in the strike zone but exiting, again, late in the trajectory home.
So when we examine where Bailey sets up, we have to consider this.
In his first Oakland start, July 17 against the Seattle Mariners, it's clear he's moved a little bit. Independent pitching analyst Jeremy Maschino did a little digging and suggested Bailey moved a bit sometime in May, and while it isn't always easy for the average fan to figure out statistically — based on scatter plots, numbers and that sort of thing — an easier tell is where his toe is in relation to the edge of the rubber in still photos grabbed at roughly the same part of his delivery.
Flash forward to his penultimate start of the season — where he absolutely shoved against his old friends, the Royals — and it's evident he's fully committed to the middle of the rubber. Clicking the image to enlarge it makes it a little easier to see.
In that game — part of Bailey's blistering hot run to close the season — he threw seven shutout innings with three hits, 11 strikeouts and just one walk as the A's beat the Royals, 1-0.
Now moving to the center of the rubber would seem to carry two possible complications — one good, one bad.
The bad would seem to be that hitters, especially righties, would have more time to pick up breaking stuff out of the pitcher's hand.
To combat this, Bailey simply threw more fastballs and splitters and fewer breaking balls:
(please credit: Brooks Baseball)
As it turns out, that concern was probably justified. Here are the slugging percentages allowed based on his time in Kansas City and Oakland on each pitch type he threw. Ignore the sinker — he barely threw it in Kansas City and scrapped it entirely with Oakland:
(slugging percentage against by pitch type with Kansas City, please credit: Brooks Baseball)
(slugging percentage against by pitch type with Oakland, please credit: Brooks Baseball)
The good, and perhaps obvious, effect of moving toward the middle of the rubber is having more of the strike zone to work with. Now that can cut both ways as pitchers who live in the strike zone can be hit hard — think Brad Radke on his worst days — but for Bailey, it seemed to be pretty obviously a good thing.
On the surface level, he managed to increase his strikeout rate (20.8 percent to 22.2 percent, 8.1 K/9 to 8.4 K/9) and oddly enough, missed more bats (11.0 percent swinging-strike rate with Oakland to 10.6 percent with Kansas City) despite going more fastball-heavy.
Now again, this can cut both ways. His rate of pitches in the strike zone jumped from 41.6 percent to 44.0 percent with the move to Oakland, but it also coordinated with an increase in zone contact rate (85.2 percent to 87.6 percent). However, it seems to correlate with a welcome drop in contact rate outside of the strike zone, falling from 66.0 percent with the Royals to 60.8 percent with the A's. With a 1.5 percent bump in swing rate outside of the zone and the added drop in contact out there, it's probably fair to say it was a good tradeoff.
That might be underselling the easiest thing to take away from it all — the drop in walk rate. Bailey walked 3.8 batters per nine with the Royals for a 9.8 percent rate — exactly what Luis Arraez did last year, for context — but those marks dropped to just 1.8 batters per nine and a rate of just 4.9 percent. That's basically what Danny Santana, the notoriously swing-happy former Twins infielder, did with the Texas Rangers last year.
I'm no math major, but cutting one's walk rate in half seems like a very good thing.
Making a move on the rubber to likely diminish the efficacy of both of your breaking pitches is a risky move, but it seems to have paid off for Bailey. And it makes sense; while it effectively neutralized the value of his slider and curve, they were a) his two least-thrown pitches on a regular basis and b) not all that special to begin with.
That he was able to make these moves on the mound and not get absolutely bombed — his home-run rate actually dropped with Oakland in the year of the homer, though that's probably more a credit to his new ballpark — is a credit not only to the A's for their pitching wizardry, but Bailey as well for being willing to go along with any changes suggested.
For added context, opponents hit .258/.332/.409 off Bailey with the Royals and .254/.294/.397 with the A's. The only real significant change is the on-base percentage — and it's a welcome one. The difference between allowing an isolated discipline (OBP-SLG) of .074 to .040 is like going from Nelson Cruz to Eddie Rosario.
That's a massive difference.
One other thing Bailey did with Oakland that Maschino helped quantify was that his release height was higher with the A's than with the Royals.
(image furnished by Jeremy Maschino)
For a low-spin guy like Bailey, Maschino reasoned, that change made a fair bit of sense.
(please credit: Baseball Savant, Statcast)
"Because Bailey is a low spin guy, creating a large attack angle and attacking the lower-third of the zone is where he is going to thrive," Maschino said. "By raising the his release height with all of his pitches, and continuing to attack the zone — especially with his low spin four-seamer and splitter — they will look like they are going to hit that bottom-third and then fall out of the bottom of the zone. This causes hitters to swing over the ball and creating more favorable ground ball results."
Maschino's theory holds water. While Bailey induced grounders at a lower rate with Oakland, that's less problematic when considering he a) traded some of them for popups, which are almost always outs and b) the Coliseum plays much bigger than Kauffman Stadium.
Statistically, opposing batters hit .256/.256/.289 on grounders when Bailey was with Kansas City for a wOBA of .234. With the A's, the slash was .237/.237/.237 — a wOBA of .206.
Ultimately, the A's proved it was possible to teach an old (willing) dog new tricks.
The impetus will be on the Twins to show they can keep it going.

"We produce and distribute solutions for greenhouse horticulture, including an innovative system called IDEAL TUTOR for the improvement of working conditions. More specifically, we aim at reducing the time and cost of greenhouse crop tutoring," explains Alessandro Avarino, administrator for SIA Srl in Vittoria (RG), Sicily.
"The traditional tutoring technique is performed by tying nylon threads dropping from iron wires to the trunk of main branches of the crop."
This practice is necessary to ensure the regular development of plants, though it requires a lot of time and labor, therefore leading to high production costs. Ideal Tutor aims at replacing the manual tying of plants.
The system is made up of polyethylene threads used to tie main greenhouse crops such as tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, etc.
The device is assembled industrially starting from the nylon thread, which is available in various sizes, distances, etc. There is also a wide choice of simple or multiple hooks.
"The system is patented and the solution is provided in packaged reels with a predetermined height and distance between threads. After the reel is unrolled, the system is anchored via hooks in the top part and by tying in the bottom part."
"The Ideal Tutor system is known and appreciated by operators and it has emerged as a valid technical solution that can improve the operational conditions of greenhouse production", the team explains. "The system has become so popular that Siriac, an institution when it come to agricultural technology, has become an exclusive official distributor."
In order to meet further production needs in case crop growth is undetermined, there is the new IDEAL TUTOR DINAMICO. It is essentially the same system but with a modular truss system so the structure can be cut to lower the crop (30-60 cm per module). This operation can be performed up to three times, so the crop can grow of another 90-180 cm.
The production life of a crop can be extended, therefore increasing its productivity without having to bear replanting costs.
IDEAL TUTOR and IDEAL TUTOR DINAMICO are revolutionary solutions that can improve the working conditions of operators as well as the agronomic habitability of greenhouses, thus enhancing phytosanitary and productive conditions, prolonging the economic and productive life of a crop and reducing production costs.

We are now well and truly into the new financial year in Australia, and I can't remember the last time the industry was so optimistic about the year ahead and the rest of the decade. Construction activity in all capitals of Australia is in full swing, and the pipeline of new major projects scheduled over the next two years should present plenty of opportunities for growth.
The latest national construction data was released by ACIF in May. The data suggests all three construction categories (residential, nonresidential, engineering) will be relatively flat but of a very high dollar value over the next four years ($250B per annum). Engineering construction will focus on roads and tunnels, power and stadiums, and non-residential will be focused on health, industrial and shopping centres. NSW will continue to drive national construction growth with $60B in projects with Victoria leading the other states.
Our challenge as a supplier is to make sure we have the equipment on the ground ready to go when you need it. To this end, we are planning on expanding our footprint in Australia in early 2019 so equipment is available when and where it is needed.
Also coming in 2019 will be new additions to the range of Genie® Xtra Capacity™ (XC™) machines. We launched the new Genie S®-85 XC boom lift at the HIRE18 in May, and the interest from customers has been very positive with orders out to early 2019. The next model to be launched will be the Genie S-65 XC boom lift followed by the Genie Z®-45 XC boom lift. All these models have been designed with customer ROI as the key driver.
In 2019, we will be upping our game to find better and quicker solutions for our customers as they grow their businesses. Genie Australia was founded 21 years ago on earning our customers' businesses each and every day, and this will never change. To this end, we are adding resources in all our key businesses — including service, parts and pre-delivery.

Day 1: Friday, July 23
Introduction (Sergey Fomel)
The Madagascar project has been in public existence for four years. Madagascar provides a complete environment for organizing one's research, from new software development to running computational experiments to publishing the experimental results in papers and reports, archiving them for future usage, and sharing them with colleagues and sponsors. The introductory presentation will describe the history of the project, the Madagascar components and design principles, and the future development goals.
Introduction to Madagascar (1.2M)
Seismic finite-difference modeling and migration example (Paul Sava)
The theoretical part of this module provides an overview of reverse-time imaging methodology applied to wavefield seismic data. The main technique discussed is reverse-time migration with emphasis on modern imaging conditions which enable migration velocity analysis and amplitude-versus-angle analysis. The applied part demonstrates this technique on a complex geologic model using Madagascar codes in a fully reproducible setup.
Seismic imaging tutorial (744K)
SConstruct
Workflows in SCons and automatic testing (Jim Jennings)
The rich and well-documented Python syntax used in SConstruct files provides great flexibility when coding Madagascar SCons workflows. In the first part of this module a few geostatistical workflows will be presented to illustrate some useful techniques.
Data processing flows with SCons (7.5M)
Two important components of the Madagascar design goals are reproducibility and regression testing. In the second part of this module our progress towards these goals will be discussed and some of the built-in tools for automatic testing will be presented.

Dinner and Madagascar 1.0 celebration
Day 2: Saturday, July 24
Learning Madagascar (Tariq Alkhalifah)
Why Madagascar was easy for me? The art of the Madagascar template! In a year, I managed to write 7-8 papers using Madagascar, and the papers are still coming. Considering that I have used SU (Seismic Unix) all my life and taking into account my not-so-young age, I think Madagascar was good to me. In the presentation, I will share my experience (no Python background knowledge is needed!) and share some insights on how to use Madagascar efficiently.
Learning Madagascar (444K)
Programming with Madagascar (Jeff Godwin)
There are many programs already built into the Madagascar project, but if you use Madagascar long enough you will eventually run into a problem that you cannot solve using only provided codes. Fortunately, Madagascar has a variety of programming language APIs already built, that allow you to: design, code, and integrate your programs into the Madagascar framework. This session will discuss an overview of the Madagascar APIs, and then focus in particular on the C and Python APIs. By the end of the session, you should have a good starting point for developing your own codes, and adding them to the growing library of open-source software available in Madagascar.
Programming in Madagascar (148K)
Vplot graphics language - past, present, and future (Joe Dellinger)
Back in the 1980's we had a lot of different hardware graphics devices to support. Now we are back to the future... the challenge today is to support a multitude of different software graphics devices. The same structures that were useful then are useful now. I will talk about the philosophy of vplot and how it is as useful today as it was when it was devised. I will also show some vplot tricks you can use to astound your friends.
Vplot (3.6M)
Plotting and high-performance computing with Madagascar (Vladimir Bashkardin)
The first part of this module will cover visualization and preparation of data plots with Madagascar tools. Major available styles of plots will be explained as long as the mechanism of creating figures in reproducible fashion for papers and presentations. The second part will be a tutorial for using Madagascar in a high-performance environment. Different types of such environments will be described and principal approaches to handling parallel problems with Madagascar will be unfolded. This module will specifically address how to run data-parallel tasks and how to create Madagascar programs with MPI and GPU(CUDA) routines.
Plotting in Madagascar (2.5M)
High-performance processing and development with Madagascar (236K)
Seismic field data processing example (Yang Liu)
Field data processing is always a tough problem. We will use a 2-D public dataset (From FreeUSP) to illustrate how Madagascar can implement common seismic data processing tasks.
