Q: php memory limit test It seems this is an ever unsolved question: I did a simple test to the memory limits in my local machine (from command line):
<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < 4000*4000; $i ++) {
    $R[$i] = 1.00001;
}
?>

and I have memory limit set at 128M. But PHP still sends off "Allowed memory exhausted" message. Why?

A: Well I wouldn't say ever unsolved question. There are a few reasons for it-PHP is a very insufficient language in terms of memory management-it's no secret. Now the code you provided could be optimized a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. For example take the multiplication in the for loop outside and store the value in a variable. Otherwise you are performing that mathematical operation on each loop. But that will not make any significant difference - 2310451248 bytes as it is and 2310451144 bytes if you do it as I proposed. But the point remains - PHP is not a low level language so you can't expect it to have the same efficiency as C for example. In your particular case, the required memory to perform all this is a little over 2 GB(2.15 gb)
<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', '4096M');
$ii = 4000*4000;
//$R = new SplFixedArray($ii);
$R = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $ii; $i ++) {
    $R[$i] = 1.00001;
}
echo humanize(memory_get_usage())."\n";

function humanize($size)
{
    $unit=array('b','kb','mb','gb','tb','pb');
    return round($size/pow(1024,($i=floor(log($size,1024)))),2).' '.$unit[$i];
}
?>

But using SplFixedArray things change a lot:
<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', '4096M');
$ii = 4000*4000;
$R = new SplFixedArray($ii);
for ($i = 0; $i < $ii; $i ++) {
    $R[$i] = 1.00001;
}
echo humanize(memory_get_usage())."\n";

function humanize($size)
{
    $unit=array('b','kb','mb','gb','tb','pb');
    return round($size/pow(1024,($i=floor(log($size,1024)))),2).' '.$unit[$i];
}
?>

Which requires "only" 854.72 mb.
This is one of the main reasons why companies who deal with larger amounts of data in general avoid using PHP and go for languages such as python instead. There is a great article describing all of the problems and causes around this topic, found here. Hope that helps.

Traditionally, the Pennsylvanian Tyler Formation has been targeted as a conventional reservoir consisting of barrier island and channel sand deposits in the southwestern Williston basin, North Dakota. The purpose of this study is to investigate the cyclothemic stacking patterns in the Tyler Formation near the depocenter of the basin to improve the petroleum system model. Utilizing one core located in central McKenzie County, the litho-stratigraphy of the cyclothems is characterized. Six facies were identified and described in each cyclothem. A network of six structural and stratigraphic cross sections was constructed. Structural cross sections and structural maps illustrate that the Tyler Formation dips to the northeast. The stratigraphic cross sections illustrate that the Tyler cyclothems were deposited during a period of sea level transgression and high stand. These cross sections and isopach maps also depict a discontinuous sand facies which does not occur in the core studied. New permeability and porosity data of two carbonate intervals as well as publically available data from several other intervals in the core were used to characterize the reservoir model of these cyclothems. The majority of the identified facies had less than one nanodarcy of permeability, strongly indicating this was a very tight formation.It is concluded that the overall tight-rock characteristics of the carbonate and siliciclastic rocks within the lower Tyler Formation may indicate an unconventional petroleum play. The sand facies within the upper Tyler Formation might lead to a conventional approach if hydrocarbons are present.


Trim excess fat from duck. Combine duck and marinade in bowl and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Remove duck from marinade and reserve marinade.
Heal oil in pan, brown skin side, then other side until well browned. Transfer duck to a baking dish and arrange in a single layer.
Just before serving, bake duck uncovered in a hot oven for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, combine reserved marinade, white wine and ginger wine in a pan and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer until glaze thickens. Serve duck sliced with bok choy and noodles with glaze.

Illinois' Eclipse Select SC is latest club to leave Girls Development Academy
by Mike Woitalla @MikeWoitalla, May 8, 2018
A fourth club within the last month has announced its departure from the Girls Development Academy after the U.S. Soccer program's first season of play.
Illinois' Eclipse Select SC will field its top teams in the ECNL for the 2018-19 season. Last month, New Jersey-based Sky Blue-PDA, the Michigan Hawks and the FC Stars of Massachusetts, which like Eclipse Select had all also fielded teams in both the Girls DA and ECNL during the 2017-18 season, announced they were leaving the Girls DA.
A statement from Eclipse Select SC reads: "After evaluating what is best for the players, families, and Eclipse Select holistically, it has been determined that the ECNL is most in-line with the club's mission, vision, and core values. The club is excited about what the future has in store along this avenue moving forward. Since being a founding member of the ECNL in 2009, the club has been a first-hand witness to the league's proven pathway for individual growth and player development."
Eclipse Select, the ECNL Overall Club Champion in 2011 and winner of ECNL national titles in 2013 and 2014, has had players selected to the U-15, U-16, U-17 and U-18 girls national teams within the last year.
In March, the Virginia Development Academy announced it would leave the DA and join the ECNL for the 2018-19 season. FC Kansas City, which was affiliated with the now defunct NWSL club of the same name, has become KC Athletics and will be playing in the ECNL next season instead of the DA.
U.S. Soccer has announced the addition of four clubs for the 2018-19 Girls DA season: Oklahoma Energy, Sporting Omaha, Utah Royals (Arizona) and Arlington Soccer Association.

Whether it is a purchase or a refinance, closing a mortgage is not something that most people do on a regular basis. Consequently, making sure that you have someone in your corner that you can depend on to give you accurate, well thought-out and straightforward advice is really second to none.That is my commitment to you. I look forward to serving you and putting you and your family in the best financial position the current mortgage market has to offer!
I have utilized Derek Hargrove and his team at Sun American multiple times now. In every occasion, they have been nothing but spectacular. Not only does Derek manage to provide professional, punctual, and accurate service, the rates and costs to finance have not been beaten by anyone else I've shopped with. I am grateful for Derek and thankful I know I can rely on him for all my future mortgage needs.
We recently purchased a home and we used Derek Hargrove as our lender and he is INCREDIBLE!!! Very quick to respond, very personable, and is just hilarious. He contacted us right away when the interest rates dropped and saved us a lot of money per month by getting us a lower interest rate. Definitely would recommend Sun American and Derek Hargrove!
Throughout the years, We've had experience of purchasing several homes. As our family dynamics changed and we began to grow, we felt it was necessary to relocate from our beloved home in Colorado to Arizona! We googled the "best brokers in Arizona" and Derek Hargrove's name popped up. Reluctant to begin a new journey in a new location, we gave him a call. Derek has been there every step of the way. He's answered every question, every phone call, every email, no matter the time of day. His professionalism, hard work, dedication and honesty is completely appreciated. I never once felt like it was the "dreaded" buying process. I always felt mentored, trusting and knowledgeable. We searched tireless for a house that fit our needs but once we saw our home, we knew it was the one! Derek Hargrove was our loan officer and worked so hard to complete our file in 17 days! He made the impossible very possible! His assistant Garrett, was also nothing short of amazing. I'm so glad that I met this wonderful team. Their work ethic is unparalleled. We have had the best experience purchasing our forever home and consider them our friends now. We HIGHLY recommend this team for your buying and selling needs. Believe me, you won't regret it! The best part about all of this is we have a gorgeous new home in a wonderful new city and amazing new friendships that will continue to grow!
From the first call I had with Derek, he was always very professional and very friendly. Our home loan buying process went very smoothly which took some of the stress off of purchasing a home. I recommend Derek and his team to anyone to looking for a home loan and will without hesitation contact Derek if I need any mortgage assistance in the future. Thank you Derek, Alan, and Garret.
Derek was so professional and easy to work with. He listened to me, answered my questions, and worked quickly to make our home purchase happen quickly and smoothly!!
Derek is the epitome of professionalism and getting things done. It was a pleasure working with him and his approach and knowledge was very helpful and made things progress smoothly.
Derek was a BIG part of my fiancee and I achieving our goal as first time home owners. We started off with one lender who was doing an adequate job but then a close friend referred us to Derek and we were just blown away by how quickly he was to respond to our questions and his intimate knowledge of how the home buying process works. Best part is that he was there every step of the way in finalizing the deal and even reaches out to us periodically. Thank Derek and Garrett.
Derek was on top of the process. We have purchased homes in the past and it has been a nightmare. However, he took care of everything necessary and didn't promise certain things, and then when it came to the day of signing, everything was different as in previous experiences. If and when we move, Derek will be our first choice.
I've known Derek for almost 4 years now and I highly recommend him for any mortgage needs. Even though I have no business dealings with Derek now, I still feel comfortable calling him with questions and he is always happy to help me.
We just bought our first home and used Derek Hargrove and his team. He was so easy to work with. He always answered the phone if I called and answered all the questions a first time buyer might have (and some questions I didn't know to ask). I'm glad I chose Derek and will use him again next time.
I would not hesitate using Derek again. Our first mortgage was seamless and expedient. Derek is very knowledgeable and is there every step of the way.
I can't say enough good things about the service Derek was able to provide throughout the home buying process. He is a expert in this field helping potential homebuyers get the best possible rates out there. On top of that he is personable and deeply cares for his clients well being over making a sell. If you are considering purchasing I highly recommend Derek!!
We have worked with Derek a couple of times over the years and he is great! The first time we worked with Derek he was amazing so when the time came around years later we didn't even consider working with anyone else. He is very thorough, friendly and dependable and kept us in the loop the entire time so we knew exactly what was going on and what to expect. He is a great guy and a great person to work with.
Derek did our mortgage when we bought our home over 4 years ago. He did an excellent job and he's a great person. We remain friends and he's given excellent advice since.
For the past 5 years I had the pleasure working with Derek Hargrove, on two refinancing projects. Derek is dynamic, very personable, and meticulous.! The re-financing went smooth, no surprises and the rates he was able to offer were always attractive, and without hidden costs.!! I highly recommend Derek for your next re-financing project, and wish him and his family a Happy 2019. !!!
Derek is a great guy who helped us purchase our first home. He is here to help his clients, We would definetly send people his way. Great working with you Derek.
Derek Hargrove was a big help in my home buying process and helped me out every step of the way through the mortgage process. Always was in contact and kept me up to date on the next steps. I highly recommend Derek for your home mortgage needs and I will definitely be contacting Derek for my future home purchases.
We have used Sun American Mortgage for our last two home purchases. They are INCREDIBLE! Professional, kind, patient - go over and beyond expectations and always take care of us.
Derek Hargrove helped us with our loan 3.5 years ago on our first home. When we decided it was time to list our home and find the forever home, we didn't even think twice about utilizing Derek again. He was very organized and on top of things the first time and he proved himself again almost four years later. The level of service Derek showed our family was outstanding. He went above and beyond to make sure we were able to get the best rate and be completely taken care of from beginning to end. He even came to our closing! We would highly recommend Derek for your lending needs. He is fabulous to work with! Our closing costs and rate were lower than we expected and we couldn't be happier!
Go with Derek! You'll be glad you did. Our first experience with Derek was so good that we have now used him a second time to purchase a bigger home for our growing family. True to form, Derek was knowledgeable, professional and just great to work with throughout the process. He helped us crunch numbers months before we were ready to buy a new house and was available immediately when were ready to move things along. He answered every question to my satisfaction and I trust him implicitly. Derek knows his stuff and you will be glad that you chose Derek and Sun American Mortgage for your business.
Excellent service! Every person I worked with was knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated to making sure all my questions and concerns were addressed. Highly recommended!
I spent some time talking with companies that gave discounts based on my employer. Upon a referral from a family member who used Sun American Mortgage in the past, I reached out to them. Derek was available to explain and answer my questions I had in the process of applying for and completing the loan process. This was especially helpful as is was a for sale by owner purchase. I would work with Derek again without hesitation in the future. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone needing a reliable loan officer.
Derek Hargrove is extremely thorough and knowledgeable in his field. He is friendly and easy to work with. He understood our situation perfectly and worked tirelessly to accommodate our requests and needs. Would I recommend this company? ABSOLUTELY! Would I go thru the process with any other company? NO!

Derek Hargrove and his team were fantastic. We got the paperwork process so smoothly, it was incredible. This was the third time I used Sun American Mortgage to purchase a home, I would never go anywhere else. I refer my friends to them every chance I get. I would definitely go through them again. They'll take good care of you and you can trust in their professionalism and patience. I love my new home, thank you!
This company is second to none! Derek Hargrove and his team went to the ends of the earth to make sure all the I's were dotted and T's were crossed. I was treated like family from introductions to closed loan. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
These guys are awesome! Big special thanks to Derek Hargrove and his team for an awesome job and great customer service! I will be recommending you guys to anyone I can and will be doing business with you again.
This was my first time buying a home and it was a great experience. I worked with Derek Hargrove and his team, they are amazing! Derek is very detailed and helpful. Any questions I had, he answered right away. For my case, he was always on the lookout for any new programs available for me. I will always recommend Sun American Mortgage to all my friends and family looking for a home.
Excellent mortgage guy. Derek Hargrove walked me through the whole process and made sure I understood. I would highly recommend him.
I recently purchased my third home and I have used Derek Hargrove with Sun American Mortgage for all three loans. I continue to use Derek because he is fast, efficient, creative, and supports his clients through the entire process. I know I can ask him any question I have and I'll get a thorough and accurate answer. I know that I can go to him with any concerns regarding my new home or loan and that he will put the concerns to rest by solving any problem. I don't know much about loans or its processes but with Derek's constant updates and information I feel comfortable and know that it is done right. I definitely recommend him and his team.
As first time home buyers, we loved working with Derek Hargrove. He made everything as quick and easy as possible. I had a million questions and he answered them thoroughly and made sure i understood every step of the process.

You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with Derek.

Derek Hargrove of Sun American Mortgage did again, for the second time, an OUTSTANDING JOB with my re-fi on the mortgage.

I highly recommend Derek, and wish him and his family a blessed Christmas.
Derek Hargrove and his team at Sun American Mortgage know how to take care of their clients!

Just used Sun American to purchase our first home & my husband & I were more than pleased with our experience!! Derek Hargrove & his team made this such an easy, enjoyable, & painless process for us.

Sun American Mortgage helped my family when another lender fell through at the last minute. Derek Hargrove and his team take great pride in their work and helping others. They stepped up and helped my family's dream come true! I was given detailed updates on a daily basis and never left wondering about the loan progress. Their on-line application is very user friendly and also keeps you posted along the way. I highly recommend Derek Hargrove and his team to anyone; he was recommended to me by a co-worker and surpassed all expectations . If you want to be treated like a person and not just a number this is the place to go!
I have never worked with a more personal, relaying, go getter person in my entire life! Derek Hargrove gets the job done. My wife and I had a ton of hurdles to jump and every loan officer was shutting us down and not even giving us the time of day. Once I was referred to Derek that all changed. He listened. He made a plan. He executed. I will work with Derek for many many years. Give him a call, you won't regret it.
Amazing team at Sun American. Derek Hargrove was great to work with and was very thorough. 10/10 would work with again! Thanks Sun American Mortgage!

Thanks again Derek Hargrove!!!

Excellent service from Derek Hargrove.
Derek was great. I had two options to from my realtor and I had the chance to speak to both Derek and another person from People's Mortgage. Derek started off humble and has my interest at hand. He educated me about different loan programs- even before we decided to go with Sun America. He worked diligently together with his team at Sun America. Overall, our experience was definitely 5 stars. Derek answered our questions every step of the way. Working with a local company was also something my wife and I wanted. Derek explained to us how everyone that is going to make a decision about our loan lives in AZ and is a few steps from him. Compare that to a company that nationwide you may be dealing with a person from another state. I felt that they had my interest and the interest of the community as the people they work with to get mortgages will eventually a person they may live next to or run in to. I can't speak anymore praises about our experience. We are so happy and we got the home that we love and will grow our family for many years to come.
Derek Hargrove was super to work with. He always returned calls and was very professional.

I have worked with Derek Hargrove before and again the whole process was great! I would highly recommend Sun American Mortgage.

We were very pleased with Derek Hargrove's professional service. He went above and beyond his services. We would recommend him to all. Thank you Derek!!!
As a owner of a new and growing business, we struggled to get financing for the home of our dreams. Most lenders rejected us after superficially looking at our financial situation.

Jim Smith has long been a nationally recognized expert in the modern version of the ancient art of selling at auction.
He brings to the profession an absolute commitment to client and customer satisfaction, notable academic credentials and formal training and extensive practical experience with the sale of real estate at auction. He originated, organized and promoted real estate auctions in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia, including a number of record setting and multi-million dollar real estate auction events.
At age 22, Jim founded the present day Jim Smith & Associates, REALTORS in Spartanburg, SC in 1973. During the 70's, he operated three real estate offices, a real estate development company, residential construction company, syndicated land & real estate development transactions, operated as NC/SC "regional representative", for a national real estate franchise company, taught for the South Carolina Graduate REALTORS Institute Program and the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg, drove dirt track race cars, participated in the rodeo business and established the family's present day cattle farm.
In the mid 1970's, Jim first became directly involved in the auction business by using auction marketing to sell a large tract of land which he owned with a partner.
A consistent multi-million dollar producer since his early 20's, Jim turned his primary business focus to auction marketing in the early 1980's and quickly rose to success and prominence in the real estate auction marketing business. He created an awareness of the benefits of auction marketing at a time when the conventional brokerage community & many Sellers viewed auctions in a poor light. Jim became the only member of the Spartanburg Board of REALTORS to qualify for its Million Dollar Club based on real estate sold at auction & was three times its number one producer.
Bringing the unique advantage of extensive experience in the real estate brokerage and development profession to auction marketing, Jim has personally originated, organized, promoted and conducted the sale of many millions of dollars worth of real estate at auction. Property types sold include single family homes, condos, town homes, farms & acreage tracts, resort properties, subdivision lots, commercial real estate, vacant and improved industrial properties and a wide assortment of personal assets including farm machinery, heavy equipment, thoroughbred horses, cattle, furniture fixtures and equipment, estate and antiques.
One of only a few auction executives in America to hold cross-discipline designations from both The National Association of REALTORS and the National Auctioneers Association, Jim provides leadership for Carolina Auction Team, is active daily in the firm's business development plan and is providing intense, advanced training for the next, third generation of leadership for Carolina Auction Team.
He personally works virtually every Auction undertaken by Carolina Auction Team – regardless of size or location, is frequently called on as a consultant to other real estate auction organizations from across America and continues to have active interest in major real estate development transactions.
A dedicated Father and Grandfather, Jim actively participates in civic undertakings and is a strong advocate of professional training and higher education.

Holy Land, the Theme Park
Buenos Aires boasts a theme park called Tierra Santa ("Holy Land"), which features site replicas and key moments from the life of Christ (Telegraph, Mar. 30). According to the park's owners, over five million people have visited since it opened in 2001. This number is expected to rise after the recent election of an Argentine native as Pope. Park spokesmen say that in pre-construction planning they consulted with a rabbi, an imam, and a bishop, and that Francis gave his blessing to the park during his time as archbishop of Buenos Aires. Tierra Santa is visited throughout the year but is particularly popular during Holy Week, when the park comes to life with three days of religious re-enactments. Maria Fierro, director of Tierra Santa, says the park takes visitors on a religious journey back in time, "creating really, in a Latin American city, the Jerusalem of that time over two-thousand years before."
Liquid Enlightenment
According to Reuters (Mar. 29), Japanese Buddhist monk Yoshinobu Fujioka owns the small, 23-seat "Vowz Bar" in central Tokyo, where Buddhist chants fill the air and shaven-headed bartenders serve up precepts and teachings along with drinks ("Vowz" is a play on the Japanese word for monk). "People would gather in a Buddhist temple and drink together, we've just updated the tradition to fit our times," said the black-robed Fujioka, who also works at a temple just outside Tokyo. "They become totally different believers here, the distance between them and myself diminishing. They are more connected with each other." Vowz Bar has been in business for 13 years. Its cocktail list includes drinks with names such as "Perfect Bliss" and "Infinite Hell." A regular patron, 42-year-old businesswoman Noriko Urai, says, "Every day, my heart gets tainted by dirt in the secular world, so I come here to repurify it over some drinks and fun."
Celebrating the Marvelous
A book offering advice on how to protect chicken coops from goblins has won the Oddest Book Title of the Year award, say contest organizers (Reuters, Mar. 21). Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop by Reginald Bakeley and Clint Marsh attracted 38 percent of 1,225 online votes, beating craft manual How Tea Cosies Changed the World's 31 percent, to win the 35th annual Diagram Prize. Philip Stone, coordinator of the contest, run by industry publication The Bookseller, said the award might seem lighthearted, but publishers and booksellers are well aware that a title affects sales of a book. "It spotlights an undervalued art that can make or break a work of literature," he said. "The kind of niche, off-beat publications that often appear on the Diagram Prize shortlist might not make their writers or publishers rich beyond their wildest dreams, but the fact writers still passionately write such works and publishers are still willing to invest in them is a marvelous thing that deserves to be celebrated."
What Government Makes Us Do
New York's Albany High School formally apologized for assigning students an essay in which they were required to defend Adolf Hitler's treatment of Jews (Yahoo! News, Apr. 12). As part of a critical-thinking exercise, pupils were challenged to make an "abhorrent argument," even to the extent of expressing extreme anti-Semitic sentiment. "You must argue that Jews are evil, and use solid rationale from government propaganda to convince me of your loyalty to the Third Reich!" say assignment instructions for the five-paragraph essay. Students were also encouraged to watch and read Nazi propaganda materials. About one-third of the students refused to take part in the exercise. The English teacher who assigned the project has not been identified, and the school district has declined to say whether the instructor will face any disciplinary action. Albany Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard said, "I don't believe there was malice or intent to cause any insensitivities to our families of Jewish faith." She attributed the assignment style to a new Common Core curriculum enacted by the state, which requires more sophisticated writing.

There are so many DJ's producing brilliant music and publishing them across the internet that we wanted to build a website which sorted, tagged and categorised them to find the best remix songs. With the charts always producing some of catchiest tunes it's not surprising that most people want to hear remixes of popular songs however old remixes are also quite highly sought after with DJ's giving a new twist to classic & retro music.
Sometimes all you want to do is sit back flick on a mix and not worry about what song is coming on next, that's why we have included a DJ mixes section of the site which allows you to select a mix based on your favourite EDM genre. Future house mixes is great dance music for house parties while deep house mixes would be more suited to a chilled night in. New genres pop up all the time within the EDM scene such as Trap mixes and dubstep mixes which have taken the world by storm. For all those hipsters, out there a very niche genre which combines classic swing music with EDM has also emerged creating Electro Swing mixes which is also worth a listen.
Mashups are a great way of bringing together several tracks in create a completely new song. The best mashups are normally produced by talented artist in from or an EDM or cover version. Mashups of popular songs are the most common as they tend to target a larger audience. Sometimes having an old mashups mixed with new song can also work very well. Mashups really bring together everything we showcases here at Cover Hook; remixes, covers and mixes can all be utilised in cleaver mashup.

EDM music has never been more mainstream than today, which has caused remixes of popular songs even more sought after than ever.

In some cases, club remixes can even become more popular than the original and DJ's compete to have the best remix songs.

Adenostemma ist eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Korbblütler (Asteraceae). Die Gattung ist mit 20 bis 26 Arten pantropisch verbreitet, sie kommt also in den Tropen und Subtropen weltweit vor.

Beschreibung

Erscheinungsbild und Laubblätter
Die Adenostemma-Arten wachsen als einjährige oder ausdauernde krautige Pflanzen. Die Laubblätter sind gegenständig am Stängel angeordnet. Die einfache Blattspreite ist schmal elliptisch bis breit eiförmig oder spießförmig mit spitzem bis etwas zugespitztem oberen Ende. Der Blattrand ist mehr oder weniger glatt, gekerbt oder gezähnt bis stark gesägt.

Blütenstände, Blüten und Früchte
In lockeren, schirmtraubigen, rispigen Gesamtblütenständen stehen die körbchenförmigen Teilblütenstände. Die Blütenkörbchen sind glocken- oder kugelförmig. In zwei oder drei Reihen stehen die 10 bis 30 gleichgeformten, krautigen Hüllblätter (Involucralblätter), die an ihrer Basis mehr oder weniger verwachsen sind und sich mehr oder weniger überdecken können. Der flache Blütenstandsboden (Rezeptaculum) kann je nach Art Spreublätter besitzen. Es sind keine Zungenblüten (Strahlenblüten) vorhanden.

Die 10 bis 60 Röhrenblüten (= Scheibenblüten) sind zwittrig. Die meist weißen oder manchmal malvenfarbigen Kronblätter sind in eine schmale trichterförmige Kronröhre verwachsen, die sich oben breit glockenförmig weitet und mit vier oder fünf Kronzähnen endet. Die Kronröhre ist außen mit Haaren oder Drüsen bedeckt. Die Kronzähne sind eineinhalb-mal länger als breit. Die Staubbeutel sind an ihrer Basis stumpf oder gestutzt. Die zwei Griffeläste sind länglich und oben geweitet und stumpf, manchmal mehr oder weniger kronblattartig, und außen papillös.

Die verkehrt-eiförmig-länglichen Achänen sind drei- bis fünfkantig mit drüsig punktierter oder warziger Oberfläche. Der Pappus besteht aus drei bis fünf Borsten, die jeweils von einer runden oder keulenförmigen Masse aus klebrigen Drüse gekrönt sind.

Early-stage Alzheimer's disease could be detected from urine samples, study finds
Alzheimer's disease could be detected in its early stages via a simple and inexpensive analysis of urine samples, a study has revealed. Researchers from China found that formic acid — a chemical best known for its use in the sprayed venom of ant species, but that can occur naturally in the human body — can be found in significantly higher concentrations in the urine of people with Alzheimer's, regardless of the disease's severity. The discovery could pave the way for large-scale screening programs that could help detect the disease early enough to be able to treat it before it becomes irreversible.
According to the Alzheimer's Society, in 2019 there were more than 850,000 people in the UK with dementia — equivalent to around 1 in every 14 adults aged 65 and over.
They said: "If current trends continue and no action is taken, the number of people with dementia in the UK is forecast to increase to 1,000,000 by 2025 and 1,590,000 by 2040."
The new study was undertaken by gerontologist Yifan Wang of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and colleagues from WuXi Diagnostics Innovation Research Institute and Fudan University in Shanghai and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
They said: "Alzheimer's disease is a continuous and concealed chronic disease, meaning that it can develop and last for many years before obvious cognitive impairment emerges.
The researchers continued: "The early stages of the disease occur before the irreversible dementia stage, and this is the golden window for intervention and treatment. Therefore, large-scale screening for early-stage Alzheimer's disease is necessary for the elderly."
The problem with screening for Alzheimer's is that, at present, the diagnostic methods used by doctors tend to be expensive and difficult to administer. For example, one approach relies on brain imaging via so-called positron emission tomography (PET) — but these are costly and require exposing patients to radiation during the scan.
Tests that use biomarkers, on the other hand, typically rely on the patient giving a blood sample or, worse, a sample of cerebrospinal fluid obtained via lumbar puncture. Both of these procedures can be off-putting for patients.
In contrast, urine samples are non-invasive and easy to deliver — making them well-suited for large-scale screening programs. While experts have previously identified urinary biomarkers for Alzheimer's, none have been capable of revealing the disease in its early stages.

In fact, the research built on previous work by the same team which focussed on the organic compound formaldehyde as a urinary biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. Formaldehyde which is perhaps best known for its use as a tissue preservative, but is also produced naturally in small amounts in the body.
Searching for a marker that was more effective in detecting early-stage Alzheimer's, the team turned to formic acid, which is a metabolic product of formaldehyde.
To this end, the team recruited a total of 574 people who were early healthy volunteers with normal cognition or individuals with Alzheimer's with differing degrees of progression — ranging from subjective cognitive decline to fully-fledged disease.
Each participant was subjected to a range of psychological evaluations, and also donated blood and urine samples for analysis.

Mr Wang and his colleagues found that, compared with the healthy control participants, all the subjects with Alzheimer's — including those with only early-stage, subjective cognitive decline — had significantly higher levels of formic acid in their urine.
While the exact nature of the link between Alzheimer's and formic acid is unclear, the researchers said, it appears that the compound has potential as a biomarker for the disease, even in its early stages.
Furthermore, the team also found that when they compared urinary formic acid levels with blood-based Alzheimer's biomarkers, they were able to more accurately predict what stage of the disease the patient in question was experiencing.
The researchers concluded: "Urinary formic acid showed an excellent sensitivity for early Alzheimer's screening. The detection of urine biomarkers of Alzheimer's is convenient and cost-effective and it should be performed during routine physical examinations of the elderly."
The full findings of the study were published in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.

Le combat de Limbourg s'est déroulée le , entre les troupes françaises et les troupes prussiennes, pendant les guerres de la Révolution française de la Première Coalition.

Préambule

Pendant que les Autrichiens se voyaient à la veille de perdre leur possessions en Belgique, l'armée Prussienne, qui s'était à peine échappée de France, accourait au secours du Palatinat envahi par le général Custine.

Après avoir protégé Coblence en y laissant une division, le Duc de Brunswick, s'installa à Limbourg cherchant à s'opposer à la progression des Français.

Le 8 novembre, Custine ordonne au général Houchard de rassembler tous ses détachements et d'attaquer les Prussiens dans Limbourg. Le général Meunier devait soutenir l'attaque avec son corps d'armée.

La bataille

Le général Houchard surprend les Prussiens qui, ne croyant pas qu'on oserait les attaquer dans Limbourg, gardait négligemment la ville.

Les Français installèrent tranquillement leurs batteries avant même que l'ennemi ne songea à se défendre. Toutefois après quelques hésitations les Prussiens font sortir leurs hussards qui se jettent dans les rangs Français, semant quelque peu la confusion. Mais bientôt foudroyés par le feu l'artillerie ils sont contraints de reculer et de rentrer dans la ville poursuivit vivement par les troupes Françaises.

Les Français chassent les Prussiens de la ville qui se retirent sur Montabaur, tandis que les vainqueurs se fortifient dans leur conquête

Q&A | October 1, 2020
How does social media influence our vote? Pew Research Center
"Social networks use computer algorithms that classify and prioritize posts based on interests."
Following your research, does the digital disruption affect democracy?
How does the internet lead to poor political decision making?
Following your research, is social media a widespread way of staying politically informed worldwide?
Is the regular citizen aware of the sometimes false or biased nature of the information they see on social media?
Has social media increased the risk of foreign countries interfering in a county's election?
Has the internet become a way to get politically involved?
The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world. It conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other data-driven social science research and does not take policy positions. It's also one of the most highly regarded of its kind worldwide.
The Pew Research Center has shared some of its insights with Digital Future Society on where the public stands as far as technology and democracy are concerned. One thing seems clear: the regular citizen is aware of the manipulation of information on social media and of how this contributes to the radicalisation of political views.
Pew Research Center and Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center canvassed technology experts in the summer of 2019 to gain their insights about the potential future effects of people's use of technology on democracy.
Overall, 979 technology innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, researchers, and activists responded […] About half predict that humans' use of technology will weaken democracy between now and 2030 due to the speed and scope of reality distortion, the decline of journalism and the impact of surveillance capitalism.
A third expect technology to strengthen democracy as reformers find ways to fight back against info-warriors and chaos.
"Jonathan Morgan, senior design researcher with the Wikimedia Foundation, described the problem this way: "I'm primarily concerned with three things. 1) The use of social media by interested groups to spread disinformation in a strategic, coordinated fashion with the intent of undermining people's trust in institutions and/or convincing them to believe things that aren't true. 2) The role of proprietary, closed platforms run by profit-driven companies in disseminating information to citizens, collecting information from (and about) citizens, and engaging political stakeholder groups. These platforms were not designed to be 'digital commons,' are not equally accessible to everyone and are not run for the sake of promoting social welfare or broad-based civic participation. These companies' profit motives, business models, data-gathering practices, process/procedural opacity and power (and therefore, resilience against regulation undertaken for prosocial purposes) make them poorly suited to promoting democracy. 3) The growing role of surveillance by digital platform owners (and other economic actors that collect and transact digital trace data) as well as by state actors, and the increasing power of machine learning-powered surveillance technologies for capturing and analyzing data, threaten the public's ability to engage safely and equitably in civic discussions."
Getting news from social media sites is an increasingly common experience. More than half of U.S. adults get news from social media often or sometimes (55%), up from 47% in 2018. About three-in-ten Americans now get news on social media often (28%), up from 20% in 2018.
Facebook is far and away the social media site Americans use most commonly for news. About half (52%) of all U.S. adults get news there. The next most popular social media site for news is YouTube (28% of adults get news there), followed by Twitter (17%) and Instagram (14%). A number of other social media platforms (including LinkedIn, Reddit and Snapchat) have smaller news audiences.
Along with Facebook, Twitter and Reddit stand out as the sites where the highest proportion of users get news – 73% of Facebook's users do so, as do 71% of Twitter's and 62% of Reddit's users. However, because Facebook's overall pool of users is much larger than those of Twitter or Reddit, far more Americans overall get news on Facebook than on the other two sites
Majorities say that social media companies have too much control over the news on their sites, and that the role social media companies play in delivering the news on their sites results in a worse mix of news for users. At the same time, social media is now a part of the news diet of an increasingly large share of the U.S. Population.
The largest social media platforms control the content on their feeds using computer algorithms that rank and prioritize posts and other content tailored to the interests of each user.
These sites allow users to customize these settings, though previous research has found that many Americans feel uncertain about why certain posts appear in their news feed on Facebook specifically. Social media companies have also been public about their efforts to fight both false information and fake accounts on their sites.
While social media companies say these efforts are meant to make the news experience on their sites better for everyone, most Americans think they just make things worse.
Social media companies do have established policies when it comes to publishers, including prioritizing certain news sources, banning or limiting others that produce lower-quality content, and using their monetization policies to discourage particular behaviors.
According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted July 27-Aug. 2.Three-quarters of U.S. adults say it is very or somewhat likely that Russia or other foreign governments will attempt to influence the presidential election, including 44% who say it is very likely.
Meanwhile, Americans have become less confident that the federal government is making serious efforts to protect U.S. elections from hacking and other technological threats. Since October 2018, the share of Americans who say this has declined from 55% to 47%.
Younger social media users also are more likely than older users to say social media is important to them in these ways. About six-in-ten (58%) of those ages 18 to 29 say that social media is very or somewhat important for them when getting involved with political and social issues that are important to them. Among older adults, 43% of those 30 to 49 say this, while a smaller share (36%) of those 50 or older say this.
A separate Pew Research Center analysis of tweets found an unprecedented use of the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag on Twitter. The hashtag had been used roughly 47.8 million times between May 26 and June 7.
Black and Hispanic social media users (60% and 57%, respectively) are more likely than white users (39%) to say that social media is very or somewhat important to them personally for finding other people who share their views about important issues. There are similar racial gaps when asked about these sites' personal importance for getting involved with issues they care about or giving them a venue to express their political opinions.

Limited, 5000 exemplars | Serially numbered | Signed | Twin set | Bronze | Patinated | Format each 8 x 14.5 x 4.5 cm (W/H/D)
One + one = three. This old truth is convincingly confirmed by Paul Wunderlich's sculpture group "Relationship". For, what can be mathematically questionable, can be true in the real life. You have to have Wunderlich's Eggheads at least twice if you want to get the bonus in the above equation and to correct the mathematician's lie. Therefore, we packed the two figures in a wooden box.
Now, you can literarily check the one + one = three equation: it is obvious that they have an axial symmetry. The left side corresponds exactly to the right one. However, there is a difference if your eggheads are looking left or right: in each position, you can discover a new situation, a new relationship between the figures. Thus, it up to your creativity to complete the artist's work.
Two "Egghead" sculptures in bronze, patinated. Catalogue no. 261. Edition of 5000 exemplars, serially numbered and signed. Cast in lost wax technique. Height, each sculpture, 14.5 cm. Width 8 cm, depth 4.5 cm. Twin set in wooden box with sliding lid.

Artist's multiple
Paul Wunderlich was one like no other creative artists of our time to the really stylish visual artists of modernity. In 1960, confiscated the Hamburg public prosecutor of his works as "offensive". Three years later, the fledgling Paul Wunderlich as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts is appointed. Numerous awards such as the Edwin-Schaff Prize honours the Graphic Biennials in Ireland, Taiwan and Bulgaria have made Wunderlich international acclaim. As the only German artist, he was elected into the French "Académie des Beaux Arts". Paul Wunderlich lived and worked until his death in June 2010, alternately in Hamburg and France.
Sculptor and painter born in 1927 in Eberswalde near Berlin, studied painting at the art school in the Orangery of Eutin Castle. Immediately after the war, he went to the Hamburg Academy of fine arts and studied graphics. After completing his education, he stayed there just as a drawing teacher and became a professor in 1963.
At the beginning of the 50s he met Emil Nolde and Oskar Kokoschka and expressed under their guidance the reproductions of their works. He even developed a very unconventional style, the Mannerist and surreal, but also elements of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco. His themes was referring to the German history, for example in the cycle "20.July 1944 ". Later it was erotic and has sexual motives, the more important it with delicacy and also a track morbidity items. In 1960, such print series for alleged immoral pursued by the public prosecutor's office.
In the 60s, he began to work for photographs by Karin Szekessy. In 1968 he gave up his Professorship, he made several study trips to New York and in the Switzerland. Since then he worked at commemorated aestheticized everyday objects, which were in line with the cleverly elaborated imagery of his paintings.
"His works are recognized all over the world, appreciated, and purchased by a wide audience", writes Paul Wunderlich biographer Jens Christian Jensen, "art connoisseurs agree: Paul Wunderlich is the main master of fantastic realism, and one of the few seminal artists of our time."
"From the platitudes that are spread about his life's work has only a substance: the knowledge that Paul Wunderlich was the unmatched after Picasso masters of lithography." (Prof. Heinz Spielmann)
If one looks for the greatest masters in the control of the lithographic technique in its ways, no doubt. Deserved the laurel Paul Wunderlich "(Carl Vogel)
Collective term for the painters and sculptors of the 20th century, such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall and others, whose works are the most recognized in our times.
An alloy of copper with other metals (especially with tin) used since ancient times.
Bronze casting:
When casting bronze, artist usually applies the lost-wax technique which is dating back more than 5000 years. It's the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.
Sculpture "The Book Reader" by Ernst Barlachs is shown here as an example:
First, the artist forms a model of his sculpture. It is embedded in a liquid silicone rubber composition. Once the material has solidified, the model is cut out. The liquid wax is poured in the negative mould. After cooling down, the wax casting is removed from the mould, provided with sprues and dipped into ceramic mass. The ceramic mass is hardened in a kiln, and the wax flows out (lost mould).
Now we finally have the negative form, into which the 1400 ° C hot molten bronze is poured. After the bronze had cooled down, the ceramic shell is broken off and the sculpture comes to light.
Now the sprues are removed, the surfaces are polished, patinated and numbered by the artist himself or, to his specifications, by a specialist. Thus, each casting becomes an original work
For lower-grade bronze castings, the sand casting method is often used which, however, does not achieve the results of more complex lost wax technique in terms of surface characteristics and quality.
Designation for an art object (sculpture, installation), which is produced according to the will of the artist in multiple copies in a limited and numbered edition.
Artist's multiple contributed to "democratization" of art as the work was made available and affordable for a wider audience.
