South Georgia's Historic Vessels
A poignant reminder of the harshness of the past human history of South Georgia is reflected in the number of wrecked vessels that lie abandoned in the island's bays and coves. They now offer sanctuary for seabirds and other creatures as nature reclaims them. Some of the ships that were wrecked or deliberately beached in South Georgia are discussed in this page.
More detail and photos can be found in 'The Maritime History of South Georgia' by Robert Burton available from the SGHT online shop.
Dias, Albatros and Petrel
Dias at Grytviken.
The three small sealers and whale catchers on the beach at Grytviken are interwoven into the history of South Georgia.
Dias was a sealer for all her service, while Albatros and Petrel were originally whale catchers and then used for sealing. Dias is 33.1 meters long, 167 tons and built in 1906 at Beverly near Hull and plans. The return of Dias for restoration and display in the city of Hull is being discussed. Albatros is 32.8 meters long, 210 tons and was built in 1921 at Svelvik, Norway.
Petrel drawn up in a 'mud berth'. Photo The Maritine History of South Georgia.
Petrel is 35.1 meters long, 245 tons and built in 1928 at Oslo. They were powered by triple expansion coal-fired steam engines and latterly heavy furnace oils.
Shipwreck of the Louise (1960's). Photo John Dye.
The remains of Louise lie on the southern side of Grytviken.
The wreck was badly damaged by fire in the 1980s, during a military training exercise. Louise was a wooden copper clad three masted vessel used by C. A. Larsen to establish the Grytviken whaling station in 1904. Having transported men and materials (her baulk ports enabled long timbers to be loaded), she was used as floating accommodation and then finally as a coaling hulk. Built by G. and C. Bliss of Freeport, Maryland, USA, as Jeannie S. Barker in 1869 and then sold in 1880 to a Sandefjord company for use in the Baltic timber trade. She is 52.8 m long and displaces 1065 tons.
Fortuna (next to the larger Louise). Photo The Eldbjørg Spetalen collection.
She was the first whale catcher to operate in South Georgia. Fortuna's remains lie submerged just north of Hope Point and can be seen at low water.
She was built in 1904 in C. A. Larsen's Sandefjord for Compañía Argentina de Pesca and was 30.3 meters and 164 tons. Fortuna Bay and glacier are named after the ship.

An old rusting whale catcher, Karrakatta, rests on the beach at Husvik whaling station.
Her last job was to provide steam for the workshop via a lagged steam pipe that emerged from hers bows, near the whale cable run. She is 32.4 meters, 179 tons with engines developing 69 horsepower. She was built in 1912 in Oslo for the West Australian Whaling Company (Chr Nielsen and Co).
James Turpie
In Leith Harbour lies the James Turpie, where she sank at her moorings. An iron steam ship built in 1881 in Newcastle by A. Leslie and Company. She was used as a coal hulk and in 1946 sank. She is 82.5 meters and 1732 tons with engines that could produce 172 horsepower.
The Bayard. Photo Phil Illingworth.
On the southern beaches of Ocean Harbor lies Bayard, a three masted iron hulled sailing vessel.
She was used as a coaling ship for the whaling station. Bayard lost her mooring at the coaling pier on the northern side during a severe gale on 6 June 1911. Blown onto the rocks on the southern side and holed, she rests there today, as a breeding site for Blue-eyed Shags. Built in 1864 by T. Vernon and Son, Liverpool, she is 67 meters long and displaced 1335 tons. Little remains of the whaling station other than a small train engine.
Just outside the inner cove of Prince Olaf Harbor another three masted iron hulled coaling vessel, Brutus, lies partly submerged.
She is 75.9 meters long and displaced 1686 tons. Full of coal, to be used as a coaling hulk, she was towed to South Georgia by 4 whale catchers from Cape Town in about 1912. The vessel was built by J. Reid and Co, of Glasgow in 1883 and first named Sierra Pedrosa for service in the Sierra shipping line of Lima.
Fridtjof Nansen
Fridtjof Nansen was a floating factory ship that foundered off the Barff Peninsula on her first voyage to South Georgia on 10 November 1906. She hit an uncharted reef and sank within 7 minutes after breaking into three. Nine sailors died of the crew of 58 who were rescued by the accompanying whale catchers. The reef is now called the Nansen Reef. The ship was built in 1885 in Newcastle and was of 2,563 tons.

Q: Stop C# proceeding to server side script upon dropdown list javascript validation failure I am trying to validate the current value of a dropdown list and check if it has one of the options selected upon a button click. If not, my goal is for a JS prompt to appear asking
the user to select something. My dropdown code looks like this:
        <asp:DropDownList ID="TBDrop" runat="server" AppendDataBoundItems="true" DataValueField="id" Width="155px">
        <asp:ListItem Text="---Select---" Value="0" />
        <asp:ListItem Text="YES" Value="1" />
        <asp:ListItem Text="NO" Value="2" />

        </asp:DropDownList>

My js script is:
        function validate_dropdown1() {
            var dropdown = document.getElementById('ctl00_ContentMasterID_TBDrop');
            if (dropdown.selectedIndex == 0) {
                alert("Please select from list");
                return false;
            } else {
                document.getElementById('ctl00_ContentMasterID_tagComplete').onclick("tagComplete_Click");
                return true;
            }
        }

My button is like this:
  <asp:Button ID="tagComplete" runat="server" Height="23px" OnClick="tagComplete_Click"  Text="Complete" OnClientClick="validate_dropdown1();" />

My issue is that upon no selection, the js prompt appears but still proceeds on the onclick tag event (OnClick="tagComplete_Click") which I aim not to. I have tried, as you can see above to
use
            } else {
                document.getElementById('ctl00_ContentMasterID_tagComplete').onclick("tagComplete_Click");
                return true;
            }

but this results to an Out of Memory error prompt. How should I use JS validation so that if the user selects something on the dropdown aside the default text, it will proceed on the server side script, otherwise stay as is on the current page

A: One small change to your button declaration.
OnClientClick="return validate_dropdown1();"

<asp:Button ID="tagComplete" runat="server" Height="23px" OnClick="tagComplete_Click"  Text="Complete" OnClientClick="return validate_dropdown1();" />

If validate_dropdown1() return false then the event will not be raised and the server will not post back.

Trial to begin in dispute over Centennial Court
Derek Lenehan
Kent State is to appear in the Ohio Court of Claims Monday, beginning the trial to settle the dispute between the university and Cleveland Construction Incorporated.
The ordeal began when the university named CCI the lead contractor for the Centennial Courts complex, on Mar. 26, 2002, awarding the firm a $17.45 million contract. Kent State then withheld payment after the job was complete, because of slow workmanship by CCI.
"The university had to contract with numerous other firms to complete the Centennial Courts for the fall 2003 opening," said Jim Watson, associate university counsel.
CCI then filed several different suits, claiming $2.3 million in damages. In the initial complaint filed with the Court of Claims, CCI defended its work by citing several reasons for delays in the project, including:
ƒ-S Unusually severe weather
ƒ-S A labor strike by one of the other prime contractors
ƒ-S Defective plans and specifications
ƒ-S Kent State's failure to coordinate contractors
ƒ-S Kent State's failure to properly administer the job
CCI also spoke out against the Centennial architects, Braun and Steidl, in the initial complaint, describing the plans as "inadequate, incomplete, and often erroneous." CCI also filed suit against Braun and Steidl.
Daniel Wireman, attorney for CCI, refused to comment on any specifics.
"With the trial date so close, there is nothing I can say about the case," he said.
CCI is not new to the courtroom experience. The contractor has filed 250 or more lawsuits since 1980, according to the Akron Beacon-Journal.
The university is countersuing for the costs of hiring other firms to complete the project.

Art and its Frames. Continuity and Change
June 14th and 15th, 2014
with Beatrice von Bismarck (Leipzig/Berlin), Julia Bryan-Wilson (Berkeley), Helmut Draxler (Berlin/Nürnberg), Andrea Fraser (Los Angeles), Renée Green (Cambridge, Mass.), Hannes Loichinger (Lüneburg), Sven Lütticken (Amsterdam), John Miller (New York), Marion von Osten (Berlin), Gerald Raunig (Zürich), André Rottmann (Berlin), Stefan Römer (Berlin), Simon Sheikh (London) und Ulf Wuggenig (Lüneburg)
The Kunstraum of Leuphana University Lüneburg opened in 1994. Its first project was »Services«, for which Andrea Fraser and Helmut Draxler collaborated with the founding members of the institution, Beatrice von Bismarck, Diethelm Stoller, and Ulf Wuggenig. The project, also conceived as a forum for discussion, raised a number of questions that had a significant impact on the subsequent project-oriented work of the Kunstraum. The topics addressed included the type of »service« that artists render for institutions of the artistic field or also for society, the way in which project-based art can be conjoined with the interests of specific addressees – cultural constituencies –, and through which actors and mechanisms artistic production is transformed into legitimate culture.
Since the 1990s, the international art field has undergone diverse transformations that in the opinion of several authors have fundamentally called its relative autonomy into question. The discourses on creativity and innovation, the problematization of the effects of so-called artistic critique, the increasing orientation towards visitors and mediation requested from exhibition venues, the transformation of the field of universities and art academies through, among other things, the installation of curatorial programs, and the implementation of »artistic research« allow conclusions on societal changes resonating in various fields of cultural production.
Against this altered background, »Art and its Frames – Continuity and Change« addresses issues that accompanied the foundation of the Kunstraum twenty years ago. The concept of frame in the symposium's title refers to its general connotations, but also and more specifically to its use in the artistic subfield of early institutional critique by artists such as Daniel Buren and Hans Haacke or authors such as Craig Owens. In their artistic or theoretical production, they reflectively approached the places and institutional structures of the artistic field and partially also the more comprehensive field of power in which it is embedded. Today, the potential of the term »frame«, employed as a theoretical concept by authors covering a wide range from Jacques Derrida to Erving Goffman, appears by no means exhausted.
Critique, collectivity, forms of knowledge, and heteronomy are four of the predominant points of reference of the presentations and discussions of »Art and its Frames – Continuity and Change« taking place on June 14 and 15 at the Kunstraum of Leuphana University Lüneburg.


SINGAPORE - Traditional Chinese medicine retailer Eu Yan Sang International reported on Wednesday a net loss of $3.6 million for the fourth quarter ended June 30, compared to a net profit of $1.61 million for the year-ago period.
For the full year, net profit plunged 70 per cent to $4.56 million from $15.03 million a year ago.
For the fourth quarter, revenue fell 15 per cent to $72.25 million, while full-year revenue dropped 4 per cent to $350.41 million.
The company said the weaker sales were laregely due to challenges in the macro environment for Hong Kong and Malaysia. The latter implemented a new goods and services tax of 6 per cent on April 1, 2015.
In contrast, Singapore's revenue for the fourth quarter and the full year were higher by 5 per cent and 4 per cent respectively, mainly driven by sales of new products and effective consumer campaigns. Australia also saw a surge in revenue.
The group's retail network comprised 252 company-operated outlets and 25 franchise outlets by end June. During the year, it added a total of 13 company-operated outlets to the retail network in Australia, Malaysia and Hong Kong. It closed eight company-operated outlets in Singapore, China and Macau, and there was a net reduction of seven franchise outlets in Australia.
Eu Yan Sang said it remains cautious on its business outlook as macro-environmental issues and challenges in Hong Kong and Malaysia will continue to persist, which may cause significant impact on its future performance.
It said store rationalisation would continue in China as it focused on online and wholesale channels.
"While the travel restrictions to Hong Kong imposed on mainland Chinese have affected parallel traders coming to Hong Kong to purchase Eu Yan Sang products, it has encouraged sales of our products at online sales platforms and at cross border, tax free outlets," the company said.
Operations in Australia are on track to show a turnaround by FY2016 through double digit same store sales growth. To accelerate the turnaround in Australia, the group intends to acquire existing businesses to strengthen its existing network in Australia.
Singapore will continue to demonstrate incremental improvements and provide positive revenue growth. This will help cushion the overall reduction in group revenues from Hong Kong and Malaysia, it added.
Overall, the group expects the business environment in the next 12 months to be difficult. In view of this, it will rationalise weak-performing retail outlets, while continuing to focus on improving efficiency of back-office operations through the use of technology.
"With more emphasis on the wholesale and e-commerce channels to furthering growth opportunities, the group expects to minimise impact from the negative operating environment," it said.

I ordered Media and Licensing from Microsoft for Windows 2008 Small Business Server Premium. Media Part Number: T75-02424. After I installed it, it is showing up Windows Server Standard FE. What gives?
"Windows Server 2008 Standard FE is the shortened name for Windows Server 2008 for Windows Essential Server Solutions"
I seen something like that on Google. My issue is that I need to get this installed for a client in the next few days and don't want to run into any more issues as necessary. The client has 35 users, and from what I seen online (doesnt say much) shows FE is for 15 max. I paid for Premium, so I want to make sure it is what I got and installed.

Waterstoffluoride, fluorwaterstofzuur of vloeizuur is een zeer corrosief zuur met als brutoformule HF. Wanneer waterstoffluoride in water oplost wordt de oplossing fluorzuur genoemd.

In tegenstelling tot de andere waterstofhalogeniden is waterstoffluoride een zwak zuur. Dit heeft te maken met het feit dat HF-moleculen waterstofbruggen vormen, waardoor ze in lange ketens aan elkaar geregen worden. In hogere concentraties bemoeilijkt dit proces de ionisatie.

Bij nog hogere concentraties vormen fluoride-ionen met intacte HF-moleculen bifluoride-ionen (HF2−), die zeer stabiel zijn en een ongewoon sterke waterstofbinding vertonen. Hierdoor gedraagt waterstoffluoride zich bij hogere concentraties meer als een sterk zuur.

Synthese
Industrieel wordt het zuur bereid door reactie van calciumfluoride met geconcentreerd zwavelzuur:

CaF2 + H2SO4 -> 2 HF + CaSO4

Gebruik
In geconcentreerde oplossingen van waterstoffluoride kan vrijwel ieder anorganisch oxide worden opgelost. De oplosbaarheid van de oxiden kan toegeschreven worden aan het feit dat zowel het anion O^{2-} (dat met de H+-ionen meteen in water wordt omgezet) als het kation (dat met de F^{-}-ionen naar een polyfluorcomplex reageert) van het oxide niet vrij in de oplossing voorkomen. Het oplosbaarheidsproduct wordt daardoor niet overschreden. Waterstoffluoride wordt daarom veel toegepast:
 als etsmiddel in de glasindustrie (het reageert met glas – het is het enige middel waarmee borosilicaatglas kan worden afgebroken – en kan er dus niet in bewaard worden)
 in de halfgeleiderindustrie
 om aluminium en uranium te zuiveren
 als uitgangsproduct voor fluoridehoudende stoffen (teflon, cfk's)
 als oplosmiddel van oxiden aan de oppervlakte van vliegtuigturbineonderdelen (voornamelijk nikkel-chroom, NiCr) om onder andere daarmee de kwaliteit van latere soldeerprocessen te verbeteren of coatings te strippen
 als oplosmiddel in laboratoria om verschillende stoffen in oplossing te houden

In verdunde oplossingen van waterstoffluoride wordt het veelal gebruikt als velgenreiniger.

Vloeibaar watervrij waterstoffluoride wordt als katalysator gebruikt in olieraffinaderijen tijdens de productie van hoogoctaanbenzine vanuit de C4-fractie.

In de organische synthese wordt het soms gebruikt bij het maken van organische fluorverbindingen. Ook anorganische fluorzouten kunnen ermee bereid worden.

Toxicologie en veiligheid
Hoewel het mogelijk is met deze stoffen op verantwoorde wijze om te gaan (en er op industriële schaal vloeibaar fluor wordt vervoerd) vergt dat training en degelijke veiligheidsprocedures.  Het geconcentreerde zuur penetreert gemakkelijk door zowel latex als nitril handschoenen. Als bescherming ten opzichte van geconcentreerde oplossingen (tot 60%) worden handschoenen van neopreen, butyl of viton aanbevolen, als bescherming tegen hogere concentraties enkel butyl of viton.

Fluorzuur vreet bij contact met de huid door tot op het bot, zonder dat onmiddellijk pijn wordt gevoeld (vergelijkbaar met fenol). De pijn begint pas wanneer het eigenlijk al te laat is voor een goede behandeling. Blootstelling aan lage concentraties van waterstoffluoride gedurende een lange periode kan leiden tot accumulatie van fluoriden in de beenderen (fluorose). Bij vermoeden van contact moet onmiddellijk medische hulp worden ingeroepen. De geïntoxiceerde wordt behandeld met calciumgluconaat in een gel of infuus.

Grenswaarden
De reukgrens ligt op 0,3 ppm. De arbeidshygiënisch aanvaarde grenswaarde bedraagt 1.8 ppm. Vanaf blootstelling aan 100 ppm gedurende 1 minuut treedt irritatie van de ogen, huid en ademhaling op. Een acute blootstelling aan 8000 ppm is dodelijk.

Watervrij waterstoffluoride en in een waterige oplossing van meer dan 7% wordt als zeer toxisch gecatalogiseerd. Concentraties tussen 1% en 7% HF worden als toxisch beschouwd.

Ping-Pong twitter drama shocks peaceful club
Gus Middendorf '21, Co-Editor in Chief|February 9, 2021
Original Photoshop
Almost everyone knows by now of the Ping Pong Club, one of Elder's most popular and well-attended organizations, meeting every Friday after school to smack around some pong and blast some chill tunes. However, it may come as a surprise that this seemingly innocuous group is facing some major drama. Nestling in the mentions of Elder Ping Pong's twitter, the "Pong Ping Peaceful Protest Party" poses a serious threat to this beloved club.
Since August, it's been a massive year for the Net Panthers; they've earned record-breaking attendance, been featured twice in The Quill, and even inspired a similar club at St. Ursula Academy. The trouble, though, started December 10th with a post from @EvilPingPong1 that called out the dangers inherent to the sport of ping pong. Aside from eight likes and a short reply from Elder alumni director Brian Bill, the tweet did not make much noise.
"It's a travesty of a good-natured sport," says Sam Becker '22. Becker is the 'Chairman of the Board' for the club, along with running the team's official twitter account. (Quill investigations into the club has not found any type of so-called board; furthermore, one anonymous club member alleged it was "probably a fake title.")

Nonetheless, he has not been happy with this new rival: "Whenever I tweeted something, the Pong-Pingers would respond back with violent mockery of what I said." As the head of the official Twitter, this is a personal matter for the man.
"My deal with the Twitter drama is that it's coming from jealously. It's been nothing but a small online uprising appearing since the early stages of the club's revival, obviously jealous of the club's recent success." Becker, stressed as anyone would be when dealing with a Twitter crisis, lambasted the rival account even further, calling whoever ran it a "major reply guy." According to the young chairman, however, the Pong-Pingers' days are numbered, as he claims the aggressive attacks from the club's rivals have been "stifled by the love of Ping Pong from Elder students and staff."
On the identity of the Pong-Ping leader, Becker admits he does not know, explaining it's a secret known only to the highest in the club; however, he alleges that it might be Mr. Rogers, pointing at a tragic lost game as motive.
The Pong-Pingers will not go down quietly. To hear both sides of the story, The Quill conducted an interview with the mysterious head of the Pong Ping account for the first time in history. Respecting his/her privacy in the name of journalistic integrity, the rebel will remain anonymous and be referred to as 'Joe Panther.'
The root of Mr. Joe Panther's actions stems from his total rejection of the club and what it stands for. Simply put, Panther doesn't "think [Elder Ping Pong] knows what it's doing or where it's headed." It is worth mentioning, though, Panther is referring here mainly with the club's leadership, not its general assembly. In fact, it seems that his beef with the club comes a lot from disdain of the club's executives, Josh Fieger '22, Evan Ricket '22, and of course, Becker. "They seem to contradict themselves often, not to mention their trying to cheat members out of their hard-earned money." Panther is referring here to the club's controversial merch prices.
I've learned to take it personal."
— Joe Panther
In the end, however, it seems like Panther also wants the best out of the club: "I've tried to give constructive criticism, but there's only so much I can try to give them." He further admits that he requested a leadership position himself but declined when offered the title of 'Head of Sanitation,' a so-called "slap in the face." This claim has been disputed by Ping-Pong leadership.
Will there ever be peace between these two rivals? Likely no—as long the official doctrine of the Ping-Pong Club continues to be "we don't negotiate with terrorists" and the Pong-Pingers' is "surrender is not an option." In the meantime, one can only pray that the carnage stays on twitter, taking solace in the one thing that both sides can agree on.
high school sports.

GREAT NEWS: Siemens' work-study programs welcome more than 1,300 apprentices across Germany in 2022
photo: Archive/GREAT NEWS: Siemens' work-study programs welcome more than 1,300 apprentices across Germany in 2022
This year, as in 2021, more than 1,300 apprentices and university students in work-study programs will begin their work lives at Siemens locations across Germany. These traineeships include 800 positions at Siemens AG, 190 at Siemens Mobility, and 130 at Siemens Healthineers. In addition, 200 trainees from the company's external partners are also beginning training programs offered by Siemens Professional Education. More than half of the overall number of traineeships are in work-study programs for university students. Siemens has one of the private sector's largest and most innovative job training programs worldwide and invests €160 million a year in this area.

The digital transformation is accelerating developments in technology, business and society, and its impact is clearly visible in the constant changes to our working world. As its 2022 vocational training year starts, Siemens is focusing on personalized individual skill development and is placing even more emphasis on fostering this aspect than in the past. "At Siemens, we regularly adapt the content of our training programs to match new requirements and enable our trainees to obtain the necessary skills to be successful and committed in their professional lives over the long term," said Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer, member of the Managing Board and Labor Director at Siemens AG. "Being eager to experiment and staying open to new things are important prerequisites for driving one's own learning throughout life," added Wiese.
Siemens' training philosophy offers flexibility for learners to help shape their own educational experience: depending on learning progress, both the content and duration of a training course can be tailored to the specific needs of each group of trainees. Courses vary greatly in length, ranging from one week to a maximum of 27 weeks, depending on the topic area. For example, a course on wiring techniques normally lasts four weeks. If a group learns particularly quickly here, this course can be shortened to two weeks. Alternatively, it can be extended if the participants need more time.

The training focuses on digital media and professional skills; self-management; solution-oriented approaches; dealing with change; communication and team skills; documentation and presentation techniques; learning and working methods; and project management. Trainees self-assess their competencies at regular intervals and receive feedback in this regard from their instructors.
The focus of the apprenticeships and work-study positions on offer is on technical and IT professions, which account for around 90% of the positions. "Compared to last year, Siemens' need for IT skills has become even stronger. For example, our program has now been updated to include training for the occupation of electronics technicians for IT and internet-of-things systems in building technology," said Barbara Ofstad, Head of Siemens Professional Education at Siemens AG in Germany.
The 2022 training-program cohort at Siemens was recruited primarily through virtual selection-process events – which received very positive feedback from applicants. Due to these positive experiences, a high degree of flexibility, and the opportunity to enable barrier-free selection based on digital tools, this format will also be used for the upcoming training year.

A further focus of the digital transformation is continuous training. With the SiTecSkills Academy, Siemens Professional Education is launching a new in-service program offering that will make the apprentices fit in relevant digital technologies – and keep them fit. "Individual learning modules within the training programs are also interesting for ongoing professional development within the company. For this reason, we decided to use the SiTecSkills Academy to provide targeted digital offerings for continuing education to all Siemens employees. We'll gradually open this offering to external partners as well," said Ofstad.

Mammals Shrank During Ancient Global Warming Event
By Robert S. Eshelman 17 March 2017
A jaw fragment and molars from an early horse ancestor (Arenahippus pernix) were discovered in the field in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming.

Between 56 million and 53 million years ago, Earth experienced a series of extreme global warming events that radically altered life on the planet.
During the first event, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), carbon levels spiked and temperatures increased as much as 8 degrees Celsius (14.4 degrees Fahrenheit). A second event, known as the Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2), occurred two million years later and led to global temperature increase of about 3C (5.4F).
The ETM2 temperature increase might sound familiar. It's roughly the level of warming scientists suggest we may see if governments around the world don't de-carbonize their economies by reducing the amount of fossil fuel emissions they pump into the atmosphere.
One of the effects of those extreme climate changes millions of years ago was the dwarfing of mammals. New research, published in the journal Science Advances, suggests that not only do warmer temperatures shrink the body size of mammalian species, but the warmer it gets, the bigger the change.
The researchers, led by Abigail R. D'Ambrosia of the University of New Hampshire, examined the fossilized teeth of four different mammal types found within the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming, which lies about 100 miles east of Yellowstone National Park.
"We went out in the field every summer for several years and collected fossils," she said. "It turns out that, just like in humans, all mammals have this shiny, outer layer of our teeth, which is tooth enamel. And that stuff is really resistant to weathering and erosion over millennia, it turns out. So teeth tend to last longer than bone material out there. So we find a lot of fossil teeth out in the Bighorn Basin."
Tooth size also happens to be a great proxy for body size in mammals.
RELATED: US Physicians Urge Action on Climate Change, Say Health Problems Are Rising
What D'Ambrosia and her team found was significant. Not only did they see the dwarfing in two of the four mammals they were concerned with, they determined that the magnitude of dwarfing correlated to the magnitude of the climate extreme when it was contextualized with prior research on carbon and temperature increases in the deep past.
Previous research on Arenahippus pernix, an early horse, found dwarfing during the PTEM. D'Ambrosia and her team also found dwarfing in the species, but on a smaller scale during the less extreme ETM2.
"We find dwarfing, and we compare our horse to the PTEM horse, we see that dwarfing does seem to correlate to the magnitude of the event," she said. "So ETM2: Not as extreme as PTEM, and we see less dwarfing."
It's not clear, she added, if the body size decrease was due to temperature rise, increased carbon concentrations, or both.
"Nevertheless, it has to do with this change in the atmosphere, for sure," she said.
In addition to seeing dwarfing in Arenahippus pernix, the team also saw a statistically significant decrease in Diacodexis metsiacus, a rabbit-sized artiodactyl.
They found a non-significant increase in body size of 2 percent in Hyopsodus simplex, an early hoofed animal with a weasel-like body.
In Cantius abditus, an early primate similar to modern lemurs, fossil measurements revealed a slight decrease in body size, although also not statistically significant.
"The interesting thing with Cantius is, if you take a step back and look over time, Cantius was gradually increasing over hundreds of thousands of years," she said. "So we think that could have dampened the true decrease in body size during the ETM2 interval."
Several theories explain changes in body size during periods of higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and higher temperatures. The prevailing theory argues that animals in higher latitudes generally have smaller body sizes because it allows them to more efficiently release body heat in the relatively warmer temperatures closer to the equator. Another explanation suggests that higher temperatures and drought could diminish overall plant growth and reduce the amount of nutrients available for animals.
RELATED: A Supercharged Hunger for Carbon Pollution in Plants Could Fight Climate Change
Research of the deep past often offers only tangential connections, if any, to the here and now. But if researchers like D'Ambrosia are finding such radical changes in mammals during extreme climate changes millions of years ago, how might similar climate extremes by altering species today?
Keep in mind that the temperature increase during the PTEM occurred over a time scale of roughly 10,000 years. In contrast, today's human-caused climate change is happening on a much more rapid timescale, perhaps 10 times as quickly, according to a study published last year in the journal Nature.
"If we're going at 10 times the rate as then, what concerns me is whether there's enough time this time around for animals to adapt the way they did then," D'Ambrosia said.
Animal species changed during big swings in climate, she noted, but rarely went extinct.
Today, extinction rates are ramping up. Hundreds of threatened mammal species are affected by climate change, according to a paper in Nature Climate Change, and scientists say it has already caused at least one mammal to go extinct — the Bramble Cay melomys, a small rodent that was the Great Barrier Reef's only endemic mammal, which was wiped out by rising sea levels.
"We're in a little bit of a no-analog situation," said D'Ambrosia.

Art World lost Cy Twombly
One of the greatest American artists of 20th century Cy Twombly, famous for his paintings featuring scribbles, graffiti and unusual materials, died Tuesday, 5th of July. He was 83.
Twombly, who had cancer, died in Rome, said Eric Mezil, director of the Lambert Collection in Avignon, France, where the artist opened a show in June. Twombly had mostly lived in Italy since 1959.
"A great American painter who deeply loved old Europe has just left us," French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand said in a statement. "His work was deeply marked by his passion for Greek and Roman antiquity, and its mythology, which for him was a source of bottomless inspiration."
Twombly was known for his abstract works combining painting and drawing techniques, repetitive lines and the use of words and graffiti. He is often linked to the legendary American artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg.
In 2010, he painted a ceiling of the Louvre museum in Paris, the first artist given the honor since Georges Braque in the 1950s.
The Lexington, Virginia-born artist said he was inspired by the colors he found in a Chinese print as well the blue of early Italian Renaissance artist Giotto, who used paint made from lapis lazuli.

Q&A with Leaf Seligman
Q: Did you learn anything while writing From the Midway: Unfolding Stories of Redemption and Belonging that surprised you?
A: Yes. If you'd asked me when I first started writing the stories (in the early to mid 1990s), what compelled them, what deep inner place, need, wound, or tenderness I was writing from, I would have said the stories began as an exploration of my own experience of outsiderhood, a very early feeling of freakishness. Even though most of the characters are displayed for their particular oddity, they share the same yearning to be seen, not gawked at—appreciated and known, beheld and beloved. They taught me how we all yearn to belong like leaves on the tree of life. By the time I returned to the collection in 2018, as I re-read the stories, I realized that they expressed the most human of longings to belong spiritually, to claim an immutable experience of oneness, interconnectedness with all being, with what some call God or the divine. The spiritual longing for connection in the stories arrested me: made me acknowledge the deep hunger I felt for an authentic spiritual expression and that gave birth to the last story in the collection.
Q: How does the physical place where you write influence your work? What did setting contribute to From the Midway as you wrote?
A: Where I wrote didn't influence the work. Where I grew up did. Even though I have lived in northern New England my entire adult life, my southern childhood forms the literary landscape I inhabit. The sensory details from the state fair I attended as a child to the sounds of the tent revivalists, the fragrance of regional flora, the textures, all arise from my early years in Tennessee.
Q: What was the most difficult part of writing From the Midway?
A: I researched a lot for the book. I read about actual people who performed or were displayed as oddities. I watched the classic 1934 film Freaks. I read about the historical time period to accurately capture the era, the culture and the details of a traveling carnival and as I immersed myself in the specificity of all that, the challenging part was to allow my characters to create themselves, to invent lives as unique and particular to them as the lives of real people they might have encountered in their travels. As a fiction writer, I can do all the research I need to nail down the authenticity of historical detail but the only authentic feelings I can grant my characters are the ones I have experienced. Being willing to re-experience and honor those feelings was probably the most difficult part of the writing.
Q: From the Midway: Unfolding Stories of Redemption and Belonging is also an audiobook! What was the recording process like?
A: Exhausting and exhilarating! I felt compelled to record the audiobook myself since the characters live in me and I loved giving them audible voice, not just their voices on the page. And I found out how exhausting it is to concentrate so hard for so many hours. I learned about all the technical aspects including the danger of a hungry belly (I ate my lunch at the recording studio quite early to avoid any audible pangs the recording engineer could detect through his headphones). Keeping a character's prosody and intonation consistent from story to story proved challenging. The day the singers came in to record their parts for the final story was truly one of the best days of my life. It was so joyful for me to hear their voices give life to the culmination of the book. I am indebted to the singers (and to my wonderful recording engineer).
Q: The characters in your book are each so distinct. My favorites to read were Lizard Man and the Dancing Girl, Lisabelle. Who did you enjoy writing the most?
A: In terms of enjoyment, probably Tiny because she has such a great sense of self. I enjoyed writing Leroy as well because he also claims himself and his beauty. Lizard Man is the heart of the book so I feel a special connection with him. Each of the characters taught me so much so I love and appreciate them all. If you asked me who I would invite to dinner, probably the Beasley men would not top the list but I would still invite them over so they could listen to everyone else and learn a few things themselves.
Q: In the Kirkus review for From the Midway, you were praised for avoiding "stereotyping or sensationalism" and creating complex, sympathetic characters out of unlikely outcasts. Was it challenging to embrace freak show tropes while avoiding clichés?
A: Because I identified with the characters so deeply I could pretty easily avoid the tropes and I worked hard to avoid sensationalizing them. They entrusted me with their full humanity and I undertook the writing as nothing less than a spiritual, even sacred, task. Each character's emotional landscape borrows from some element of my own so that made it fairly easy to avoid the clichés. Had I not been willing to offer my own authenticity, vulnerability, uncertainty and yearning, I suspect the characters would have ended up as one or two-dimensional caricatures instead of fully dimensional beings.
Q: What are you reading right now?
A:The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. I just finished the brilliant novel Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi.

Vintage Computer Forum > Genres > PCs and Clones > 1 MB of memory in XT?
View Full Version : 1 MB of memory in XT?
It's possible to get 1M of memory on XT class computer?
I mean clone, Amstrad PC1640.
The biggest that I have is 4 Meg 8bit memory card, could it be done by using it?
The 8088 processor can address up to 1MB of memory (ROM/RAM).
However, the architecture of the PC/XT reserves the memory space between 640K and 1MB for things such as ROM and video RAM.
Yes INDEED, I grew to hate that "upper memory area". I do not want to count the hours I wasted trying to get various drivers loaded up there. I don't miss "word perfect for DOS" one little bit :rolleyes: I was always going to someone's PC, trying to get the print function to work. It always needed more memory than everything else so you would work for hours and hours trying to free up 10K of lower memory. Gah --- I want to forget those days.
PC/XTs can use 'Expanded' memory (LIM), but you'll need to find the correct drivers for your board. Good luck.
Every computer needs a certain amount of firmware. There has to be code present in non-volatile memory for boot up. I may need some edumucation on exactly what you're talking about, but drivers get loaded low in memory. And you aren't going to put anything "up there" if it's already occupied or if there's nothing there at all.
some computes, namely the DEC Rainbowm 100 and Tandy 2000 use more of it then a vanilla pc. I believe the Rainbow has ram all the way up to 896k. The Tandy had mods and aftermarket stuph that could pretty much go that high also.
I have a Phillips P3105 that has IIRC 720k usable memory. It's an XT. Haven't fired it up in some time tho.
The official memory map says 640K. If you have a CGA display you can get up to 736K by using the reserved memory between 640 and the start of the CGA video buffer.
In theory you could do the same thing if you had a monochrome adapter, but you'd get just 64K extra memory, not 96K. The monochrome display buffer starts a little lower.
The nice thing about these hacks is that if DOS is told about the extra memory, it can use it fairly normally. That's because it shows up as one big contiguous chunk. Anything not in a continuous chunk has to be treated in an unnatural way, like LIMS, the high memory area above 1MB on an AT, etc.
Then it goes to a menu program that I've left on it.
Won't display anything in Bios.
Neither one mentions EMS memory. I figure that the available memory total is because of some assumptions by the programmers. I have yet to analyse it with Check-it or another program that Mueller recommends one of which will check each memory chip on your computer to find a bad chip. I'm fairly sure it must have 1 meg total but neither of those diagnostic programs mentions that. Can't remember if they usually do and report it as EMS memory. At some time I'll do that and see if it is an anomally with them.
Some time ago on classiccmp I mention this to some skepticism and a dutch member backed me up by stating that Phillips had indeed developed an overlay(?) which would overcome DOS' 640 barrier.
Each card need another driver?
So I think that I can't do anything.
If it's an 8-bit card, it probably can't be used as Extended Memory, It'll prob'ly be Expanded only. If there are switches/jumpers on board, ya might try a little experimenting.
When I recived it, it was half-filled with 256k chips.
It don't look like 512KB board for me, but like 4 MB board.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, all the computers I was talking about likely had at least 4 MB of memory to use. I would use "LH" (loadhigh) to load network programs, etc. This worked by "backfilling" upper memory with part of the 3 MB that was left. Soooo, yes, you need more physical memory to use the area between 640K and ! Meg.
640K system will have up to 736K of RAM.
the new memory just as if it had always been there.
MS-DOS(R) or PC-DOS(R) 3.0 or later.
o At least 640K System Memory (no less).
o EGA/VGA Video Adaptor with at least 128K Video RAM.
o One floppy disk drive or hard drive (of course).
o NOT compatible with Digital Research's EMM386.SYS.
Programs like this that use the video adapter memory as conventional memory are interesting, but there are better ways of doing the same thing. Using the video adapter memory is said to be six times slower than the regular memory on your motherboard. There are programs such as LASTBYTE and QRAM that can do the same thing but instead use the memory on your expanded memory board or memory about 640k on the motherboard. Using these programs has no performance penalty.


Here is a link to the replay: http://www.insightsforwellness.com/wednesday-nov-6th/ where I was a guest on Diahanna White's radio show, Awakening Your Soul, on the Women 4 Women network, talking about Numerology. Below is a short recap.
Since we have two months left in this year, let's look at the energy available to us. No matter what is happening in the world around us, we can focus on our own high vibration. We are in a 6 World Year for 2013. You add the numbers across, 2+0+1+3 = 6, to find the world year. Six is the number of the nurturer in Numerology, also about balance and harmony. It's the Lover's card in Tarot, looking at the choices we make in all areas of our life. Are we doing what we love? The energy of the 6 is a good vibration for starting or growing a business. We have two months left in the year to create some sparks. A question we can ask ourselves: What will I choose to nurture and grow for the remainder of the year, in my relationships, business, and environment?
November for 2013 is an 8 month in Numerology. You add the World year of 6 to the month of November, 11, which reduces to an 8, which is the Strength card in Tarot. This is a month to pay special attention to your health, as you may be working hard. There is great potential for abundance and prosperity during an 8 month. Tip: You can carry around the number "8" in your pocket or wallet to focus on abundance in business or financial matters and around health. When we look at the energy of the 6 for the year, with this 8 month, we enjoy our work but balance our efforts with the other areas in our life, our tribe or family. A little personal indulgence goes a long way to create ease and a delicious experience. It's also a month of gratitude. Somethings as simple as the food we eat, the clothes we wear and the books we read. We can be grateful for all the people who create these amazing pleasures and those who are part of the process to bring them to our home. We can show our gratitude by supporting local and small businesses. You can start a Gratitude List, if you don't have one already, and place it where you can see it everyday. Be creative, add color and pictures to your list!
Stay tuned for the vibes for the month of December!
Our thoughts create the vibrations we send out into the Universe!

WHO IS MARCO?
Marco Pasqua was born on July 4, 1985, weighing only 2 pounds 10 ounces and was 3 months premature; he would later be diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.
When he was only 10 years old, Marco was invited to be the ambassador/host of the Timmy's Christmas Telethon with local radio legend Red Robinson. This was his first opportunity to speak in front of a large audience; it was then that he realized the impact that words can have but he had no idea that this would later turn into his career.
He went in pursuit of a career in technology and after graduating from the Art Institute of Vancouver, he spent 5 years in the video game industry. During the recession of 2010, he lost his job, which turned out to be the biggest blessing in disguise. Marco decided it was time to use his voice to make a positive impact on the world, so he built his own brand as a professional speaker and entrepreneur.
Throughout his life, Marco has been involved with a number of organizations as a spokesperson, helping to spread advocacy for persons with disabilities across Canada.
As an entrepreneur, Marco has remained focused on social impact and has helped to build brands such as Reality Controls, Rick Hansen's online community, "Planat" and Hunky Haulers. Some of his most memorable talks include TEDxStanleyPark, The United Way as an impact speaker and The Duke of Edinburgh Awards. In 2013, he was named "Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Self-Employment and Entrepreneur Development Society and was recognized in 2016 as a "Paul Harris Fellow" by Rotary International. Other nominations include BC Businesses' Top 30 under 30 award, Notable.ca's award in Personal Branding and Coast Mental Health's Courage to Come Back Award in the category of Rehabilitation.
Advocating for universal design and inclusion is among his passions. He is a licensed Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification™ (RHFAC) Professional and has consulted with municipalities & business leaders on inclusive employment strategies for people with disabilities, including the Province of BC's employment advisory committee the Presidents Group.
Marco believes that success in business should not purely be based on the financial transactions; it is the human interactions that matter most. His speaking topics are focused on his personal stories of overcoming obstacles and how to manage major life transitions with the framework he created called The CUBE Principle.
WHat is the cube principle?
C.U.B.E. is an acronym that stands for "Creatively Utilize your Best Energy".
The CUBE Principle is a manner of approaching challenges which uses creative methods for problem-solving. The framework teaches individuals how to leverage their existing social circle, focus on doing the things they are TRULY passionate about and reflect on the type of energy they are putting into opportunities and interactions.
The CUBE Principle can be applied to any challenge, problem or goal, from meeting new people, to landing a dream job. One of the key factors in using The CUBE Principle is creating and maintaining authentic relationships that focus on mutual benefit in the long term.
The CUBE Principle can be summarized into the following three steps:
1. Approaching problems or goals creatively
2. Utilizing the strengths of your network to extend your impact
3. Understanding the type of energy you're projecting and the focus of that energy

"Sometimes when you organize a day with multiple messages for a group of leaders, you receive gifts you never anticipated; Marco was one of those...his main message was even more powerful; courage, determination, and a sense of humor can get you wherever you want to go in life. Our networking group's mission is "Working Together to Nurture and Develop Growth for Women". Marco's speech encompassed what we stand for as a group and he represented a person we would all like to emulate. You couldn't leave that room without feeling empowered to do more as leaders.."
Mike Nash, VP of Operations for BC, Safeway Canada
"I find Marco to be one of the most engaging speakers I have listened to in years. He combines an honest sincerity with a personable delivery and truly speaks from the heart when he relates his own particular journey. I believe that Marco is destined to become a very well known motivational speaker. Watching him present to our small group is like being on the front edge of a windstorm. You know that the strongest experience is yet to come and when it does come, it will be fully immersing. I see great success for Marco in the very near future."
Rod Embree, Employment Specialist
"I have had the pleasure of listening to Marco speak to both large groups of people and small groups. He speaks extremely well, engaging his audience into wanting to hear what he has to say. He has such a positive outlook that it's hard not to walk away from his presentations without being motivated to do something good with your life. One time I asked him to speak on the phone to a group of people and even over the phone, his voice is captivating."

The staff were very professional and respectful of our home. While we expected the bathroom to be updated, we did not expect the complete transformation into a showpiece. We worked together on picking out tile that was beautiful but also factored in safety. The tile workmanship exceeded all our expectations. We found that it was important to be on-hand to brainstorm on what would work best and provide thumbs up or thumbs down as collaboration was essential. We were very involved in the selection of materials and products. We do not believe it would have been possible to hire anyone who could have provided a better final product. They were committed to giving us a beautiful bathroom, including making sure all finishing work had that extra "pop."
It went well overall. They showed up on time, were professional and provided a timely estimate.

What to believe
By hissingsid, July 25, 2017 in Local News

What are we to believe !!!! Last week Kate Beecroft was on Manx Radio crowing about how the hospital had had a practice day for dealing with a major incident, it had gone well, and now Nobles were equipped to deal if such an incident happened. Yesterday we had a tragic accident where four people were involved, sadly two of the four were declared dead at the scene. It was then announced by the media that the public should avoid A and E that the waiting time was 6 hours. Now I am by no means trying to detract from the dreadfully sad accident and my heartfelt sympathy goes to those concerned and their families but it does not make sense regarding the announcement made. People have commented on how dedicated the staff are in A and E and how they are constantly under pressure this should not be so .A and E is probably the most important part of the hospital and it should be given priority it is alright building posh new buildings but the roots of medical care should be catered for first.

4 people died. What sort of cost do you think having a contingency for that eventuality would have? A few people with banged elbows couldn't be dealt with for a few hours. So what. It was a major incident in such a small Island. No harm done.

I though that a strange announcement too, God help us if we were to have multiple injured.
Disagree, it could have been a major incident, there should be backup and I think it is arrogant to suggest everyone who goes to A and E have minor ailments.
Most people in A & E most days are druggies and losers and people with sprained wrists. They got a few more hours to sober up. It's hard to see what more could have been done when 4 PEOPLE DIED in what seems to be a freak accident.

Staff getting their leave in between TT and MGP?
I think you are deluded if you think most people who go to A and E dare druggues and losers, what a sad little person you must be.
Roger Mexico 5,836
Presumably the practice for dealing with a major accident is about seeing how fit they are to cope in those circumstances. It doesn't mean that the Departments in the hospital won't have their other work affected - the only way they could do that would be to have people sat around waiting to deal with major trauma incidents and nothing else. And obviously A&E will be one of those Departments most severely hit at such times, given what the 'A' and 'E' stand for.
Incidentally there was an interesting point in the Vision Nine hearing with the Department CEOs where it was said that one time recently, while having to deal with two (non-TT) accidents, they informed the Clerk of the Course that they would have to ask for a race to be cancelled as they not cope with any more casualties at that time. As it happened it was stopped because of weather anyway, but it illustrates how a small hospital is inevitably going to have problems with pressure. Given the number of people who have to wait for more than four hours to be seen in English A&Es on a 'normal' day, I don't think they do too badly.
Just now, hissingsid said:
But the fact remains. Nobody was really inconvenienced for more than a few hours as 4 PEOPLE DiED.
the stinking enigma 9,022
only 2 out of that 4 needed treatment though.
i did try to find a better way of writing that, not meaning to cause offence to anyone
Max Power 4,810
I think the announcement was strange, if your leg or wrist is broken, or you have a burst appendix, you can hardly be expected to sit at home until the coast is clear at the hospital.
They must have meant to avoid A&E if you have a minor issue but I'd hope that people only go there when they are in need of urgent treatment? If not then they need to start sending people to their GP or the chemist.

Yes, because a lot of people hanging around A & E most days are wasters who could have gone to their GP.

Like many people, you probably think that you've always known how to wash my face. It's not that hard – you pick a face wash that works with your skin, lather up and rinse off. Of course, we've all picked up tips over the years to alter or enhance my cleansing rituals, but it's still pretty straightforward.
However, there's a little more to washing your face than you thought. It's time to face the facts: You may not actually know how to do it. And that's okay. Here are the surprising face washing facts I learned that might help your skincare regimen, too.
At the end of the day when you have a full face of makeup, you might assume you can just lather up and you're good to go to sleep. As it turns out, the best way to cleanse your skin is to remove your makeup, then wash.
This is because the cleanser you use may or may not remove concealer or foundation completely – especially those with sunscreen, which is designed to have staying power. It also usually doesn't take care of waterproof eyeshadow and mascara. For the cleanest skin, use makeup remover first, then suds up.
I've read hundreds of times how important it is to exfoliate to get your skin glowing, but as it turns out, you don't necessarily need one of those grainy scrubs. A cleanser with salicylic or glycolic acid is actually more effective than a scrub, and gentler on your skin. Such products offer the same anti-aging benefits and prevent breakouts. Still, sometimes a little abrasion is what you need to slough away lots of dead skin, but maybe not every day.
If you've ever read the "directions" on a bottle of face wash, you know how they usually recommend washing twice a day with the product. This may or may not be what is best for your skin. Just like many brands recommend using their entire line of products "for best results," this instruction may be more in the interest of sales than your skin.
If your skin is acne-prone or super-oily, washing twice a day is probably a good idea for you. If not, you risk irritating your face and drying out your skin.
