It's common knowledge that plants produce oxygen, but which plants are most responsible for creating the air we breathe? Can you use plants to create cleaner air inside your home? The answers to these questions can be found by understanding a little about which plants generate the most oxygen and which plants will thrive in your home.
According to Ecology.com, "It is estimated that between 70% and 80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere is produced by marine plants." Because so many species of marine plant life are technically algae, that makes algae the plant singly responsible for producing most of the oxygen we breathe. The earth contains almost three times as much water surface as land surface, so it stands to reason that marine plant life produces much more oxygen than land plants. Ocean plants may be difficult to see because they often span great distances under water, but they are essential to our atmosphere.
If you're looking to add clean air to your home, consider adding a heart-leaf philodendron to your decor. This plant variety has evergreen vines that are easy to grow and maintain, and it is recommended as one of the top houseplants for improving indoor air quality by Clean Air Gardening. On mature plants, the dark-green leaves can grow up to 12 inches long.

Arkansas is one of the states with political or named townships, referred to in census compendiums as minor civil divisions. These areas developed, grew, changed, split apart, and evolved just like counties.
This book lists political townships for each census year for every county. Annotations about township creation dates, formation data, divisions, and name changes are included. Names of cities and towns enumerated separately in census records are also listed. Each county's creation date, parent and progeny counties, county boundary changes, and county seats are listed. National Archives census microfilm publication numbers and roll numbers for each census year and each county are given. Township maps for 1921 and 1990 for each county are included. Finally, there is an index of both townships and towns showing the years they were enumerated in census records.
This volume is an indispensable reference work for everyone interested in serious census research in Arkansas.

With the relegation of Barnet Football Club and its return to the Conference/National League, John Still has returned as Manager for the second time.
John Leonard Still was born in West Ham in April 1950, he joined Leyton Orient as a youth at centre half in May 1967. A knee injury plagued his playing days and he moved to Bishop Stortford in 1970 onto Leytonstone in 1972 and then Dagenham in 1974. Surgery unfortunately didn't save his career and he retired from playing aged just 26 to concentrate on part time coaching while holding down a job as a salesman.
He became manager of Leytonstone shortly afterwards and as Leytonstone & Ilford took them to the Isthmian League title in 1982. A later move to Dartford saw him oversee a Southern League Premier championship win.
Maidstone United came calling in 1986. Three years later he had guided them to the Conference title and promotion to the Football League.
Not wishing to become full time he resigned and linked up with a newly formed Redbridge Forest in 1989. More success followed with another Isthmian League title and promotion into the Football Conference. The club then merged with Dagenham to become Dagenham & Redbridge in 1992.
In August 1994 John accepted a full time position at 2nd Division Peterborough United. After a unsuccessful stay at London Road he took a short term coaching role at Lincoln City but Tony Kleanthous appointed John as manager at Underhill in June 1997.
Money for players was allocated for the first time in a number of years and his first major signings for the Bees came in August when "King" Kenny Charlery signed from Stockport for £80,00 and then Greg Heald from Peterborough, for what is still a club record fee of £130,000. By September Scott McGleish had joined the club for another £70,000 from Orient.
The club finished 7th in the 3rd Division to make the play-offs where Barnet lost out to Colchester 3-2 on aggregate. The 2nd leg at Layer Road will always be etched in the memory of John and indeed the supporters as it was a frankly very poor refereeing performance from Terry Helibron. A definite penalty should have been awarded for a foul on Dean Samuels in the dying minutes for Barnet. Had we scored from it it would have won the tie on away goals. Did Terry lose his cool as the atmosphere at the ground that evening was to say the least "heated"?
A 16th league finish in 1998-99 was followed in 1999-2000 by another play-off appearance. The Bees loosing out 5-1 on aggregate to Still's former club Peterborough United.
In November 2000 Still moved "upstairs" to a Director of Football role with the high profile signing of a player-manager in ex West Ham and England international Tony Cottee. The club were sitting a pretty 10th in the league at that point but a disastrous loss of form soon saw us in relegation danger. Cottee was sacked in March but even with all his resolve and skills John could not stop that eventual fateful day in May as the Bees lost 3-2 to Torquay United in a winner take all game at Underhill.
John offered to stay on in his manager/director role allowing 1st team coach Ian Culverhouse to develop and in time take the reins but that never materialised as Ian left the club in January 2001. John resigned as manger a month later but continued his directorship until the end on the season.
John's next stop was Bristol Rovers as assistant to Ray Graydon. Financial difficulties within the club led to contact termination in December 2003.
In April 2004 Still returned to the club that has honestly meant more to him than any other, Dagenham and Redbridge. In 2006-7 with still five games left to play The Daggers won the Conference and were promoted to the Football League – the second time John had achieved this feat.
In 2010, the club reached the play-off final at Wembley and beat Rotherham United 3-2 to gain promotion to the third tier of the League, an amazing achievement bearing in mind the resources available to him. John was awarded London Sports Personality of the Year to boot!
The limited budget didn't make things easy for the club in League 1 and they were relegated at the end of the season.
In February 2013 he joined Luton Town with ex bee Haken Hayrettin as his right hand man. By April 2014 Luton had won the Conference title and gained promotion back to the Football League. John had now done it three times!
Subsequently John was awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Luton.
In December John was sacked by Luton and rejoined a struggling Dagenham & Redbridge. A further three seasons then followed at Victoria Road, and the guard of honour for Barnet after we had won the Conference title in 2015 did not go unnoticed as the work of John. The phone call from Tony Kleanthous came once again. John became Barnet manager for the second time on 17th May 2018.
Trying to summarise John's first stint at Underhill is quite complicated as success in reaching two play offs in hindsight was an excellent achievement, bearing in mind the turmoil the club were going through with the ground and the budget resources. We certainly witnessed some very good players through John's connections. Darren Currie especially along with Heald, McGleish and John Doolan. Yet still the discussion will go on, and will do within more senior supporter circles as how on earth did that team of 1998-99 nearly get relegated and how that side of 2000-1 actually did? John favoured the long ball game, that didn't feel right at Barnet. Although in fairness did we have the calibre of players to play a passing game from the back through midfield?
John has always been approachable and was always happy to listen to criticism from supporters, the Durham Bar was like a courthouse some afternoons after the final whistle. However he is a man that is genuinely liked and respected throughout football and is a fantastic host.
In the Q & A at the Hive recently he said that his favourite player from his previous time at Underhill was the aforementioned Darren Currie - and of course "Ruby" is his current second in command - he has vowed to play his strongest team in every competition.
At the first Q and A session when he joined the club in 1997 - one has to remember we had been witnessing/enduring the style of Alan Mullery which with respect was never going to appease Bees fans – we were all sceptical to say the least. I remember asking him if he was a manager who is on the touch line in a track suit barking out orders and getting involved or someone who is happy to sit in the stand in a three piece suit or in the dug out with a cigar? I was wearing a favourite bright amber casual shirt (which over the years had faded and got a little worn) with black jeans. "I see you are suitably attired to have the cheek ask someone about what they like to wear! Are you the fashion Guru here?".
From that moment on on I liked him, even though he would frustrate me bringing every player back for a corner, a tactic that I will always disagree with unless its the last minute of a game.
When Lee Harrison's testimonial dinner was arranged in the Durham Suite John was one of the first to accept my invitation and he spent the evening talking to literally everyone and especially to Guest Speaker Barry Fry.
When manager of Luton, I had lunch in the corporate with a Luton supporting friend who did not believe that I sort of knew John. His coach and my old friend Haken Hayrettin came into the bar and invited us into the managers office after the game where Martin had never been before even after having a season ticket for 20 odd years. "Now I believe you know John Still" he said as the beers came out of the fridge, "look who's here?" said Stilly.
Welcome back John – it goes without saying that I hope by the end of the season (or maybe next) The Hive will feel more like home and you will be making it a fourth time overseeing a return to the Football League.
A three times Conference winning manager joining a three times Conference winning club. What's not to like?
Thank you to John Paul Patrick Hunt for his contribution to the piece. Tidy.

Novosadská univerzita je vzdělávací, vědecká a umělecká instituce založená Srbskou republikou. Univerzita se nachází v Novém Sadě, druhém největším městě Srbska. Byla založena 28. června 1960. Dnes čítá více než 50 000 studentů a 5 000 zaměstnanců na 14 fakultách a třech ústavech, které se nacházejí ve čtyřech historických univerzitních městech: Novi Sad, Subotica, Zrenjanin a Sombor. Je to jedna z tzv. úplných nebo komplexních vysokých škol, které se vyznačují tím, že pokrývají téměř všechny oblasti vědy a vysokoškolského vzdělávání.

Historie
Základy vysokoškolského vzdělávání na území dnešní autonomní provincie Vojvodina i celého Srbska byly položeny kolem roku 1740 se zřízením Visarion Collegium (Collegium Vissariono-Pawlovicsianum Petrovaradinense) v Novém Sadě.   Mezi nejvýznamnější předchůdce dnešní univerzity v Novém Sadu patří Norma – škola pro vzdělávání srbských učitelů, založená v roce 1778 v Somboru a Preparandija založena v roce 1812 v Szentendre, sídlící od roku 1816 v Somboru.  Významnější roli v rozvoji vzdělávání od 19. století hrála Matica Srpska – nejstarší kulturní a vědecká instituce, založená v roce 1826 v Pešti, která byla v roce 1864 přesunuta do Nového Sadu. Právnická fakulta v Subotici, založená v roce 1920, přispěla zejména k rozvoji právní vědy a právního vzdělávání na území dnešní Vojvodiny.

Národní shromáždění Republiky Srbsko schválilo zákon o zřízení univerzity v Novém Sadu v roce 1960.  Dříve zřízené fakulty jsou propojeny do jednotné akademické obce.

Organizace Novosadské univerzity

Univerzita se nachází v centrálním kampusu o velikosti 259 807 m², na břehu Dunaje, v blízkosti pevnosti Petrovaradin postavené v 18. století a starého města. Kromě administrativní budovy univerzity jsou v areálu univerzity fakulty, studentské centrum se dvěma studentskými kolejemi a Ústav ochrany zdraví studentů. Ze 14 fakult, které tvoří Univerzitu v Novém Sadu, sídlí 9 fakult v Novém Sadu, z toho 7 sídlí v univerzitním parku: filozofická, zemědělská, technologická, právnická, Fakulta technických věd, přírodovědecká a Fakulta tělesné výchovy, zatímco Lékařská fakulta se nachází v Klinickém centru a Akademie umění na Petrovaradinské pevnosti. V Subotici sídlí tři fakulty, jedna ve Zrenjaninu a jedna v Somboru. Na univerzitě v Novém Sadu od roku 2016 sídlí ředitelství Svazu státních univerzit Srbska, které zahrnuje všechny univerzity založené státem, jakož i ústředí Doktorské školy matematiky, která na vnitrostátní úrovni spojuje přední matematiky ze všech univerzit v Srbsku.

Významnou roli hraje také Centrum strategických a pokročilých studií, založené v roce 2016.

Fakulty na Univerzitě v Novém Sadu

Instituty na Univerzitě v Novém Sadu
V rámci univerzity v Novém Sadu existují také tři ústavy.

 Ústav lesnictví a životního prostředí (1958)

Studium
V rámci univerzity je realizováno téměř 400 akreditovaných studijních programů na úrovni základního, magisterského, odborného a doktorského studia, které řídí fakulty a univerzitní centra pro interdisciplinární a multidisciplinární studia. Moderní studijní programy jsou koncipovány podle současného vývoje v oblasti vědy. Zmíněné tři vědecké ústavy hrají důležitou roli v neustálém zlepšování těchto programů.

Věda
Univerzita v Novém Sadě má rozvinutou vědeckou infrastrukturu a silný inovační potenciál. Na univerzitě bylo zřízeno asi 250 laboratoří. V rámci univerzity existuje několik akreditovaných center.

Knihovny
Ústřední knihovna a fakultní knihovny disponují rozsáhlými fondy pokrývající všechny relevantní vědecké obory a zajišťující přístup k velkým elektronickým databázím. Na základě zvláštní dohody o spolupráci, vědců, profesorů a studentů, byla v roce 1826 zřízena Knihovna Matice Srbské, nejstarší vědecká a kulturní instituce nabízející více než 3 000 000 publikací.

Technologický park
Pro podporu inovací má zvláštní význam technologický park Univerzity v Novém Sadě. S podporou Fakulty technických věd a dalších částí univerzity bylo vytvořeno 140 společností, zejména v sektoru, které zaměstnávají mladé inženýry z univerzity v Novém Sadu. Některé z nich pracují na projektech pro velké světové společnosti a přispěly k tomu, aby byl Nový Sad mezinárodně známý jako Software Valley. Mnoho projektových týmů, stejně jako jednotlivci z univerzity, získali mezinárodní a národní vyznamenání za technologické inovace.

BioSens institut
Institut BioSens byl založen v rámci Fakulty technických věd. Evropská unie prohlásila institut za jeden z 30 výzkumných institucí s nejvyšším potenciálem v Evropě v oblasti biotechnologií a jeho projekt je v rámci programu Horizont 2020 v roce 2016 zařazen mezi nejlepší v Evropě..

Výsledky studentů v evropských a světových soutěžích
Studenti Univerzity v Novém Sadě dosáhli vynikajících výsledků v mnoha oborech. Týmy vybírané z Právnické fakulty jsou už léta jedněmi z nejlepších v Evropě. V roce 2009 zaujaly první místo v soutěži soudní simulace pořádané Univerzitou v Leidenu a v Haagu, Mezinárodním soudním dvorem.

Studenti Fakulty technických věd, kteří navazují na tradici slavné Jugoslávské školy robotiky, patří už roky mezi nejlepší v Evropě. V roce 2016 dosáhli velkého úspěchu. na soutěži EUROBOT v Paříži, kde obsadili třetí místo.

Studenti Akademie umění a Fakulty sportovních a tělovýchovných získali řadu ocenění na národních i mezinárodních soutěžích.

Jonathan Rea took victory in race one of round 10 of the WorldSBK Championship at Portimao in Portugal today, reaching a career total of 65 victories, and an historic 50th race win since he joined Kawasaki in 2015. Marco Melandri (Ducati) was second ahead of Michael van der Mark (Yamaha) in today's race.
After an intense Superpole 2 qualifying session, Rea started the first race of the Portimao weekend from second place on the front row . He made fast early progress and led every lap of the race, increasing his lead and then easing up to celebrate his latest win. He has now taken six Superbike wins in succession at the 4.592km circuit near the Algarve coast.
To top that off Rea set a new lap record of 1'42.304 on lap three of the race, in ambient temperatures that reached almost 30°C.
Rea now leads the championship by a strong 104 points, as his closest rival, Chaz Davies, placed fourth in today's opening race. Race two will take place tomorrow, Sunday the 16thof September, at 15.15 local time.

Loïew (en  ; en łacinka : Łojeŭ) ou Loïev (en ) est une commune urbaine de la voblast de Homiel ou oblast de Gomel, en Biélorussie, et le centre administratif du raïon de Loïew. Sa population s'élevait à  habitants en 2017.

Géographie

Loïew est située dans le sud de la voblast, sur la rive droite du Dniepr à son confluent avec la Soj, à une altitude de . La commune se trouve à  au sud-ouest de Retchytsa et à  au sud de Gomel, la capitale de l'oblast. Bien que située à la frontière ukrainienne, Loïew ne possède aucune liaison routière ou ferroviaire directe vers ce pays faute de pont sur le fleuve.

Histoire

Loïew a une histoire très ancienne, elle a été un lieu habité par les Drégovitches, une des tribus slaves à l'origine de la Biélorussie. La première mention écrite remonte à l'année 1505. Le , durant le soulèvement de Khmelnytsky, eut lieu à Loïew une bataille entre les troupes cosaques révoltées et les forces polono-lituaniennes, qui l'emportèrent. Loïew fut annexée à l'Empire russe à l'occasion du Deuxième Partage de la Pologne, en 1793. En 1897, Loïew faisait partie de la Zone de résidence obligatoire des sujets juifs de l'Empire et comptait une communauté juive de  personnes, soit 46 % de la population totale.

Loïew fut incorporée à la République socialiste soviétique de Biélorussie en 1926 et accéda au statut de commune urbaine en 1938. Du mois d' au mois d', Loïew fut occupée par l'Allemagne nazie, période durant laquelle sa communauté juive fut quasiment anéantie. De 1962 à 1966, elle fit partie du raïon de Retchytsa et redevint ensuite le centre d'un raion autonome. Bien qu'assez proche de Tchernobyl, Loïew souffrit moins que beaucoup d'autres régions biélorusses de la catastrophe de 1986.

Pro-Swage Kit Rimfire Jacketmaker 224 Rimfire Bullet Kit
Swaging Press or Reloading Press?
One of the first questions a shooter may ask about swaging is whether a conventional, mass-produced reloading press can be used.
The answer depends on what specific bullet caliber and style you want to make, how fast and easily you wish to make it, and whether you plan to expand to other calibers or just make only one specific caliber.
A conventional reloading press CAN be used to make these bullets:
.224 flat base, open tip or lead tip bullets in the 45 grain to 85 grain range.
.243 flat base, open tip or lead tip bullets in the 60 to 100 grain range.
Bullets made using fired .22 LR cases (.224 or .243 diameter).
Lead air gun pellets of the hollow base, semi-wadcutter shoulder design (any nose shape).
Lead pistol and rifle bullets up to about .58 caliber, having a SWC shoulder and virtually any kind of base.
Jacketed semi-wadcutter pistol bullets where the jacket stops at the start of the nose (SWC styles).
.410 and .28 gauge hollow base shotgun slugs.
Paper-patched bullets having a cup or flat base and a small (.015 or more) shoulder at the start of the nose.
If you want to make jacketed rifle bullets in calibers larger than .243, or rebated boattail bullets, or any bullet with the ogive made tangent or jointed at a secant angle to the shank (no step), then it is best to use a swaging press and the kind of dies which are made for it. The alignment, power, and precision of a swaging press, used with the special dies made for it, open unlimited possibilities compared to a reloading press and the dies which must be fitted to it.
If you plan to make ANY bullet in commercial quantity, for resale in a small home business (or for yourself) at levels of more than about a thousand bullets a month, it simply does not pay to use a reloading press. Swaging presses are so much faster (over 300%) that you would waste far too much time with each bullet, in a reloading press kind of die.
Are Dies Interchangeable Between Presses?
You can use any die ending in "-R" in a reloading press, so long as the reloading press has a 7/8-14 thread single station head (not a turret style) and a standard T-slot ram using "RCBS" style shell holders. The -R dies (which have a -R following the catalog number) come with an external punch fitted to a base that looks like a shell holder.
The -R type dies will also work in any Corbin swage press. But they work exactly like they would in a reloading press, and cannot take advantage of the built-in ejection, because that only works if the die and internal punch fit into the ram. Jacket and bullet reducing dies, on the other hand, work the same way in either press. You just have more leverage with the swage press.
The -S or -H type dies (for Corbin swage presses only) do NOT work in a reloading press. There is no way to install them in the ram. The reloading press has no method of ejection, of holding the internal punch, or of holding the ram-mounted die.
What's Wrong with a Reloading Press?
Nothing, if you use it for reloading. But for use as a bullet swaging tool, here are some of the reasons you'd find an actual swage press, designed from the ground up for swaging, to be far easier, faster, and more enjoyable:
A reloading press is "upside down" for swaging.
In a reloading press, the die must screw into the press head. The external punch, which pushes the components into the die, must snap into the T-slotted ram. You must pick up the component, push it upward into the bottom of the die, and hold it with your finger while you carefully raise the ram and punch, and slide the punch past your finger (don't pinch your finger in the process!).
Then, you apply gentle pressure to swage the bullet, and lower the ram. But there is NO ejection system for swaging built into a reloading press! To get the bullet back out of the die, you must pick up a mallet and tap on a plunger or K.O. rod placed in the top of the swage die. Meanwhile, your other hand must catch the bullet as it flys out of the die. If you don't catch the bullet, it will bounce off the press and fall to the floor.
In contrast, a swage press is made so the die goes in the ram
This means you simply DROP the component into the upward facing die mouth. Gravity is on YOUR side with the swage press.
Then, you raise the ram, engaging the external punch automatically, as it is held in a floating punch holder in the press head. Adjustment of weight and pressure is done by turning this punch holder up or down in the press head. So far, you could have used one hand for all of this.
The bullet is now swaged with gentle pressure, but using less than half the effort because the swage press has about 235% more leverage than a reloading press. (The swage press has a 180-degree toggle travel as compared to the typical 135-degree limit on most reloading presses, and half the stroke length of a reloading press when in the short-stroke setting. Leverage is the ratio of ram movement divided into the distance your hand travels, in an arc, to achieve the ram movement.)
Now, you lower the ram and the bullet is automatically pushed out of the die, resting at the die mouth for you to pick up. Ejection is built into the press. You do NOT have to buy the additional parts built into every single reloading press die, since you pay for them just one time when you buy the swage press. This makes the press much faster to use, but also reduces the price of each die compared to a reloading press swage die.
Most reloading presses are built for mass marketing
There's nothing wrong with that: they serve their purpose of meeting the minimum requirement for reloading at a good price. But they are sold through jobbers, distributors, and dealers in most cases. That means, rule of thumb for manufacturing, that the material and labor you get in each one has to be about 25% of the retail cost. The other 75% pays for distribution, marketing, transportation, advertising, promotions, inventory taxes, overhead of each of the three kinds of businesses responsible for getting it in your hands,and of course a fair margin for each of them so they have some incentive to do it!
On the other hand, if you pay $100 retail for a mass marketed press, you are buying what would essentially cost $25 at the factory door. If you are paying nearly $750 for a product that is sold directly from the factory door to you, bypassing the conventional distribution costs, it means you are getting a product which would be priced, in a retail store, at nearly $3000. There are good reasons for this. If it were simply profit, everyone else would be jumping to do the same thing.
What you are getting is a tremendous amount of precision hand work, bearings in every moving part (four sets of roller bearings just in the links alone!), hardened tool steel pivots and industrial chromed tool steel ram, hand fitted ram bearings to align and guide the ram straight on axis with the press head, dual stroke (or triple stroke in the Mega Mite) leverage system for both swaging and high precision reloading... in fact, even the nuts and bolts are chucked up in lathes and turned on the bottom sides so that the surface is perfectly perpindicular to the axis (hardly any nuts and bolts come that way).
Swage presses are optimized for swaging forces
The swage press uses a steel head and support structure, with bearings in every moving part, and is aligned with precision alignment jigs as it is assembled. The head can be removed and replaced, in case you ever wish to experiment with unusual thread sizes of dies for reloading (yes, the swage press is a reloading press also -- "on steroids" as they say).
A reloading press is generally made from a casting, with a hole drilled for the ram, and another hole drilled and tapped for the head. You cannot "adjust" the alignment. If there is angular misalignment, or co-axial misalignment of the head and ram, nothing can be done about it. And for reloading, it probably does not matter very much except to benchrest shooters. There is enough "tolerance" in the loose fit of shell holders and cartridge cases in the shell holders so that some alignment error can be tolerated.
The swaging press can be aligned in the field, with alignment test jigs available from Corbin. It is not necessary unless you were sky diving with your press and it forgot to open its 'chute. But it can be done. Therefore, if you should ever have the need to realign the axis of the head and ram, the swage press allows it.
Reloading presses are usually made from one raw iron casting, typical tensile strength of 35,000 to 40,000 psi. The steels used in the Corbin swage presses have typical tensile strengths of more than 125,000 psi. This means virtually nothing except that the swage press uses tougher materials. A swage press can be smaller, physically, and still be much stronger than a cast frame press. You will never need to apply more force than the press can handle, because if you do, you'll pop the swage die long before the press feels any pain!
Reloading presses support the head with the same continual casting as the rest of the frame. Corbin swaging presses, such as the CSP-1 S-press, utilize compress/torsion steel support struts. These are composites of a compression force, applied to two lengths of hydraulic cylinder tubing cut to use as head supports, and a torsion force applied through a hardened washer and industrial grade nut (with the bottom machined in a lathe for perfect 90-degree angle to its axis before assembly) to long threaded rods passing through the middle of the cylinders.
This is illustrated on the CSP-1 page. But the point is, you are getting a system of alignment and support that is engineered to stay aligned, and can be adjusted in several ways if for any reason it suffers a physical trauma (sky diving?). How do you "fix" the reloading press to be dead-on axis, other than completely reboring, lining, and line-honing it and then fitting a new ram (which would cost about as much as a proper swage press)?
If you only want to make one caliber, maybe two, and the limitations of a reloading press are not bothersome to you, then a swaging outfit that works in a reloading press will be fine.
If you plan on expanding to other calibers, need long range rifle precision or benchrest quality, want to make more interesting styles of bullets such as the RBT bases, plan on making very many bullets at a time, or just want to work with the best tool for the job, then a swaging press and the special dies that work only in a swaging press are more suitable.

The Museum of Telephone History (Europe's largest) continues to grow with new exhibits
This telephone was created by the talented inventor Hakon Brunius and was used by local businesses and individuals.
Hakon Brunius was born in 1842. As a young man he worked as a telegrapher in the Swedish state-owned company 'Telegrafverket' and on the railroads. He also worked in a small engineering workshop where he carried out technical experiments. He developed safety equipment for trains, such as a fire alarm. The magazine 'Industritidningen Norden' called him 'Sweden's first electrician'.
In the autumn of 1877 Brunius began experiments on his 'telephone'. On 27th November 1877, a local Jönköping newspaper reported that he had designed a 'telephone' that was tested and worked successfully. By March 1878, with Brunius' assistance, an internal telephone line was installed at the city's paper mill. Brunius actively advocated the establishment of public telephone networks in Jönköping. This wasn't possible until the autumn of 1881, a year after the creation of Bell's network in Stockholm. Brunius ruled the city telephone network until 1888 and then sold it to 'Stockholms Allmanna Telefon AB'. Three years later the network was acquired by the state-owned 'Telegrafverket'. Brunius then founded 'Hakon Brunius AB, Göteborg' and tried to set up the production of telephones on a large scale, but with no success. He was a talented inventor but he had no talent for entrepreneurship.
Today it is difficult to assess the significance of his inventions. We know that Brunius came up with a special magnet design for his phone and constructed his own wall-telephone with handset. It is known that Brunius sought cooperation with Ericsson but to no avail. Hakon Brunius died in 1902. Brunius' natural curiosity, which was the driving force behind his inventions, ultimately caused him harm. While in hospital, Brunius decided to check what was behind a particular door. Unfortunately, it was an elevator door, which he managed to open despite the fact that the elevator was on a different floor. Brunius fell into the elevator shaft and to his death.

One thing I always forget about is stamping on patterned paper. I think it can give such a nice subtle classy look to a card. I found this layout on Pintrest a few weeks ago and went through my stamps to find something that would work.
The inside sentiment is one I came across when I was reorganizing my stamps, oh by the way I am working on cataloging my stamps now and will post later, and thought it would work for this card. I chose the colors because I thought it would work for a man as well, even with the ribbon and it was more classy looking than most of the cutsie cards I make.
I cut the layered the strips of paper similar to the one I saw on Pintrest and the multi-layers seem to work well together and while the birthday sentiment is small the layers focus the eye to it *okie thinks that sounded so professionally artisty like*. The stamp of the flowers went below the strip across so to avoid having the image show at the bottom of the strip I laid a piece of paper across the pattern cardstock where I didn't want the image to stamp.
Okay that's all I have for you today. I gotta go get dressed and get ready to head up to my aunt's house in Seminole. My cousin Betty Lou is wanting to make a big dinner for everyone and I am sure we will have a house full. I called my sister yesterday morning and told her that she needed to go to Aunt Betty's so her and her husband will be out there as well. I also have to stop by Linda's and get some punches she ordered for me. Busy, busy day....but what a lovely way to spend a Sunday!!
Okay...you've inspired me once again. Love the effect of the stamp on patterned paper and what a great way to get more use of both the stamp and the paper!
Never thought to stamp on patterned paper! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for all the inspiration. I love your blog. Not only the crafts you share, but your outlook on life is so refreshing.
Okay, I just love to read your blog (get a few laughs and inspiration too), plus I'm the weird one lately who has asked so many questions about your stamp unmounting! Well, come to find out, I live in Washington (I kinda knew that for awhile now) but I just realized you live south a an hour or so from my VERY best friend in the world! All ironic -- that's what the WWW will do for us, I guess. Have a great day and LOVE your card!!!
Love this look. I will have to try this technique for sure. Loves very distinguised.
I totally forget that technique, too. You would think a lazy stamper like me would remember a labor-saving trick like that.
Hey, I'm unmounting my stamps and some of the odd brand foam won't come off. Any tricks?
Have a great cruise… wish I were going along!!

MEDIA RELEASE: New report shows education choice saved Alberta taxpayers $1.9 billion
Posted by Parents for Choice in Education on October 01, 2019
Calgary, AB: Alberta's independent schools and home education saved taxpayers $1.9-billion over eight years, according to a new report commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) and Alberta-based Parents for Choice in Education (PCE).
"The province's own data shows clearly that independent schools and home education are a bargain for taxpayers, since these students receive only a fraction of the per-student amount provided to public schools and receive zero per cent for their capital costs, including buildings and busing," says policy analyst Mark Milke, who co-authored the report with CTF's Paige MacPherson.
Key findings in the report, How educational choice saved Alberta taxpayers $1.9 billion and supports student success, include:
Taxpayer costs per student enrolled in independent schools ($5,404) and home education ($1,671) are substantially lower than in government schools ($10,801);
The existence of government funding for independent schools and home education has saved taxpayers $1.9 billion over eight years, which is greater than the money needed for all requested capital projects by the four largest Alberta government school divisions over the next three years; and,
Enrolment numbers between 2010/11 and 2017/18 show that growth was slowest in public-government schools when compared to all other education options analyzed, meaning families are increasingly seeking alternatives to public-government schools.
Donna Trimble, Executive Director of Parents for Choice in Education, sees this report as essential to confronting false narratives about education funding. "Alberta families from a range of socio-economic backgrounds are increasingly seeking alternatives to public-government schools to support student success. Any loss of funding for these alternatives would not only cost taxpayers more, but also create a two-tier system where only the wealthy can afford education choice and no one else can."
"School choice is saving taxpayers a ton of money. With the Alberta government steamrolling towards $100 billion in debt, it needs to look at all options for saving money, such as supporting school choice for parents and students," said Franco Terrazzano, Alberta Director for the CTF.

A: Regarding the first error, try looking in /etc/xen for a file called 'vm01' and deleting it, also, try running 'virsh' and then 'list --all' to find the "offending domain". You can the use "undefine " to remove it.
As for the second problem, are you sure you have a DHCP server on the network? Are you sure you've connected your domain to a public bridge (xenbr0)? You can use the "-b BRIDGE" switch of virt-install to make sure you have.
If you do not have a DHCP server, you can pass the installer static IP configuration by adding the following to virt-install:
-x "ip=<ip address> gateway=<gateway> subnet=<subnet>"

A: Hey, I am in the same boat.
Currently, able to start the domain it downloads the stuff and fails to go to the stage2 of installations due to inability to access the stage2.img file even when the path is right.Welcome to CentOS

Kim Hor suffered from chronic arthritis for years, causing her debilitating pain and leaving her on the verge of stopping work.
Despite trying a cocktail of anti-inflammatory drugs, it wasn't until Kim signed up for the online-based Healthy Weight for Life program, that she saw both a significant improvement in her pain, as well as an amazing weight loss of 14.5 kilos.
"I can't speak highly enough of the program and the support it provided. I'm back at work now and managing daily tasks with ease. It's a big difference to how I was living my life last year," Mrs Hor said.
"In the past I focused on pain management rather than addressing the root cause. In achieving the weight loss result that I have and seeing the impact this has made on my pain levels I have definitely developed a new perspective and level of motivation," she added.
And Kim's not the only one experiencing these types of incredible results.
The 18-week program aims to show the correlation between weight loss, healthy living and pain management and guides participants to make changes to their exercise regime and nutrition. Since it launched in 2010, 7,400 people with knee or hip osteoarthritis have completed the program, averaging a weight loss of 7.5%. The program is fully funded by nib and is one of our integrated care programs offered to help customers improve their overall health and wellbeing and stay out of hospital.
Luke Lawler, CEO and Scientific Director of Prima Health Solutions Pty Ltd, heads up the Healthy Weight for Life program and said the program provided interesting insights on weight loss and pain management.
"Data from those who have completed the program demonstrates that improvement in osteoarthritis symptoms is related to the actual percentage of weight a person loses irrespective of their starting BMI," said Mr Lawler.
"This is a really important message, as most GPs recommend people strive to reach what is classed a normal weight. This goal is impossible for some and as a result, they give up, and it gets placed in the too-hard basket.
"There's no magic number when it comes to weight loss and improvement in the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Each case must be treated as a standalone and patients need to follow a tailored program that addresses their needs, taking into account their mobility and how weight loss translates to a reduction in the overall pain levels experienced," he added.
Provided free of charge to eligible nib customers, Healthy Weight for Life is an online-based specialised knee and hip osteoarthritis management program that focuses on addressing weight management in a bid to improve joint pain experienced by nib customers and reduce or delay the need for joint replacement surgery until absolutely necessary.
We are celebrating the results of our customers in the Healthy Weight for Life Program.

Q: Understanding Django Pagination : Does it internally limit entries fetched? I am working on pagination of django comments.
def listing(request):
    contact_list = Contacts.objects.all()
    paginator = Paginator(contact_list, 25) # Show 25 contacts per page

    page = request.GET.get('page')
    try:
        contacts = paginator.page(page)

Does the paginator lead to fetching of 25 entries or does it fetch all and return only the required ones ?

A:
When are QuerySets evaluated?
Internally, a QuerySet can be constructed, filtered, sliced, and generally passed around without
  actually hitting the database. No database activity actually occurs
  until you do something to evaluate the queryset.

i need to add two header parameters
1 -> id

How can i add that in my above httphandler java file? pls anyone help me.Many thanks in advance

A: the simplest way is to add the params to the end of your url :
i.e. append ?param1=value1&param2=value2
so in your case it would be something like :
URL url = new URL("http://garage.kaptastech.mobi/api/5k/users/vehicle?id=[id]&imei=[imei]");

===============================================================
edit : if you are trying to get the response you can use an async task
look at this tutorial which uses HttpHandler and async task:
http://hmkcode.com/android-cleaner-http-asynctask/
package com.hmkcode.http;

import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest;
import com.hmkcode.http.AsyncHttpTask;

public abstract class HttpHandler {

public abstract HttpUriRequest getHttpRequestMethod();

public abstract void onResponse(String result);

public void execute(){
    new AsyncHttpTask(this).execute();
}
}

and this is the async task
 package com.hmkcode.http;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import com.hmkcode.http.HttpHandler;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.util.Log;

public class AsyncHttpTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{

private HttpHandler httpHandler;
public AsyncHttpTask(HttpHandler httpHandler){
    this.httpHandler = httpHandler;
}

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
    InputStream inputStream = null;
    String result = "";
    try {

        // create HttpClient
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

        // make the http request
        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpclient.execute(httpHandler.getHttpRequestMethod());

        // receive response as inputStream
        inputStream = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();

        // convert inputstream to string
        if(inputStream != null)
            result = convertInputStreamToString(inputStream);
        else
            result = "Did not work!";

    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d("InputStream", e.getLocalizedMessage());
    }

    return result;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
    httpHandler.onResponse(result);
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 private static String convertInputStreamToString(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException{
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
        String line = "";
        String result = "";
        while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
            result += line;

        inputStream.close();
        return result;
    }
}

and here is how you use these tow classes:
new HttpHandler() {
        @Override
        public HttpUriRequest getHttpRequestMethod() {

            return new HttpGet("http://hmkcode.com/examples/index.php");

            // return new HttpPost(url)
        }
        @Override
        public void onResponse(String result) {
            // what to do with result
            //e.g. display it on edit text etResponse.setText(result);
        }

    }.execute();

good luck !

La temporada 2009 de California Redwoods fue la primera y única temporada que participó como California Redwoods en la United Football League. El equipo finalizó en la tercera posición con una marca de 2-4.

Desarrollo
El 10 de marzo se anunció a Dennis Green como entrenador en jefe de la franquicia UFL San Francisco. Inicialmente se pensó en el nombre de San Francisco Rockfish pero por ciertas diferencias el 11 de agosto se dio a conocer el nombre oficial de la franquicia California Redwoods así como los colores que representaran al equipo en la temporada que fueron verder, azul y blanco.

Los juegos de California Redwoods fueron programados para llevarse a cabo en el AT&T Park en San Francisco, California y una sede alterna en el Spartan Stadium en San Jose, un conflicto de horario con San Francisco Giants obligó a que el primer juego se jugara en Las Vegas.

California Redwoods (0-0) inicio su temporada el 8 de octubre visitando a Las Vegas (0-0) en el Sam Boyd Stadium, este partido registro la mayor asistencia de público a un partido de la UFL con 18,187, en el primer cuarto del partido se anotaron los primeros puntos en la liga por parte de G. Gano, así finalizó el primer
cuarto con marcador de California 0, Las Vegas 3.

En el segundo cuarto California anotó 2 TD por carrera uno por el Quarterback Shane Boyd y el otro por Cory Ross para ponerse adelante en el marcador, aunque DeDe Dorsey acercó a Las Vegas con otro TD, marcador al medio tiempo California 14, Las Vegas 10.

En el tercer cuarto Las Vegas volvía a tomar la ventaja del partido al anotar 1 TD y gol de campo y California solo pudo anotar un gol de campo por parte de P. Douglass. En el último periodo Las Vegas volvió anotar otro 10 puntos y California no pudo completar ninguna jugada para anotar para terminar el marcador California Redwoods 17, Las Vegas Locomotives 30.

En la semana 2 California Redwoods (0-1) jugó su primer partido como local recibiendo a New York Sentinels (0-1) en el AT&T Park y obtuvo su primera victoria en la liga.

Ya en el primer cuarto California tomo ventaja con un pase de TD de Mike McMahon para Kai Brown, en el segundo cuarto New York empató el partido tras un pase de 2 yds de Q. Gray para C. Barclay y terminar la primera mitad New York 7, California 7.

En la segunda mitad la defensiva de California detuvo a New York y no le permito realizar ninguna anotación mientras que la ofensiva de California anotó 17 puntos con 2 TD por carrera y un gol de campo de 42 yds, California ganó el partido por marcador de New York 7, California 24 y ponerse en marca de 1-1 y empatar a Las Vegas en la segunda posición de la Liga.

5 días después California visitó a Florida en el Citrus Bowl, McMahon solo completo 5 pases de 17 lanzamientos para completar 60 yardas, en el primer cuarto el marcador seguía empatado a 0, fue hasta el segundo cuarto que con 2 TD de Florida y un gol de campo ya estaban perdiendo por 17, después del primer tiempo Florida volvió a aumentar la ventaja tras un gol de campo y 1 TD de A. Pinnock para poner el marcador en el tercer cuarto California 0, Florida 27; Fue hasta el último cuarto donde una carrera de 1 yd por parte de Ross puso los primeros puntos para California aunque Florida volvía a marcar otro TD para terminar el marcador California 7, Florida 34.

Tras la derrota California Redwoods quedó con una marca de 1-2 y continuar en la tercera posición.

En la semana 4 hizo su tercer visita de la temporada ahora en el Giants Stadium contra New York Sentinels (0-2), California (1-2) inicio ganando desde el primer cuarto con un TD de Ross a pase de Boyd que completó 18 de 23 intentos para 197 yardas, en el segundo cuarto con un gol de campo y TD por carrera de Boyd aumentaron en 10 su ventaja que New York recorto con 2 goles de campo de Czech para terminar el marcador al primer tiempo California 17, New York 6, en el tercer cuarto New York se acercó al anotar 1 TD y en el último cuarto con un gol de campo de Douglass California puso marcador final de California 20, New York 13.

Luego de su segunda victoria y con una marca de 2-2 subió a la segunda posición.

Después de descansar la semana 5 California se ubicaba en la segunda posición con una marca de 2-2 empatado con Las Vegas por lo que en el partido de la semana 6 la victoria valía más, el partido se llevó a cavo en el Spartan Stadium en San Jose, California la sede alterna durante la temporada de California Redwoods y que marcó la asistencia más baja en un partido de la UFL, California comenzó ganando con una TD por carrera de Ross, fue hasta el segundo cuarto que Las Vegas redujo la diferencia al marcar un gol de campo para finalizar el primer tiempo Las Vegas 3, California 7. Durante el tercer cuarto el juego siguió igual de parejo luego de solo anotarse 2 goles de campo 1 de cada equipo y en el último cuarto la defensiva de California no puedo contener a Las Vegas y estos anotaron 10 puntos para finalizar el marcador Las Vegas 16, California 10.

Tras la derrota y con una marca de 2-3 California quedó eliminado del Championship Game ya que la serie particular contra Las Vegas terminó 0-2.

En su último partido en el AT&T Park California Redwoods (2-3) enfrentó a Florida Tuskers (5-0) que buscaba terminar la temporada invicto, el primer cuarto marcó un empate a 10 puntos, pero para el segundo un par de pases de Boyd (completo 23 de 35 intentos) para TD coloco a California adelante al finalizar la primera mitad Florida 20, California 24, que marcó la mayor cantidad de puntos en la primera mitad, en el tercer cuarto California aumento la ventaja con un gol de campo de Douglass para tomar ventaja de 7 puntos, pero en el último cuarto California no hizo ni un punto y Florida respondió con 2 TD para 14 puntos y darle la vuelta al marcador que finalizó Florida Tuskers 34, California Redwoods 27, en el que fue el partido con más puntos en la temporada con 61 puntos combinados.

California Redwoods terminó su primer y única temporada con marca 2-4 en la tercera posición.

La baja asistencia en sus partidos de local hizo que la liga trasladara el equipo a Sacramento cambiando el nombre del equipo a Sacramento Mountain Lions.

Draft

El Draft se llevó a cabo el 19 de junio de 2009. Los jugadores que fueron seleccionados eran los que acudieron a los entrenamientos en Orlando y Las Vegas. Una vez que un jugador fue seleccionado por el equipo sus derechos estaban en manos del equipo en caso de que el jugador optara por jugar en la UFL.

De los 24 jugadores seleccionados, 18 participaron con el equipo en la Premier Season.

Adaptation, Nature Conservation and Climate Change Mitigation
Climate change is visible today, and not just from shrinking polar ice caps, retreating glaciers and thawing permafrost. In fact, its impacts can be seen right now on our doorsteps. The apple blossom begins on average ten days earlier than it did in the 1960s, and cuckoos are retreating to cooler uplands because by the time they migrate back north from their winter homes, the eggs of their former lowland hosts are already hatched. For wild plants and animals, warming often means a shift in range northward and to higher altitudes. As different species respond to climate change in different ways and at different rates, ecological communities can change in composition or disappear altogether. Ecosystems and ecological functional relationships can undergo major change.
Neobiota are spreading
While it is becoming too warm for some native species, many exotic, warmth-loving species now feel 'at home' in temperate parts of Europe. The fact that palm trees (Chinese windmill palm, Trachycarpus fortunei) now grow in the wild in Switzerland may seem just a curiosity at first sight. But when alien species start to spread so invasively that they pose a threat to native species and human health, they cease to be a mere curiosity and become cause for serious concern. Exotic garden plants such as cherry laurel and Buddleja are increasingly spreading in the wild and may one day displace native species www.neobiota.de. The fiercely allergenic common ragweed is likewise spreading rapidly in Germany. Diseases whose vectors were once restricted to Mediterranean climates (e.g. sand flies, certain tick species and various fungi) are now becoming a problem in countries like Germany.
Climate change is a fact
It should be remembered in this connection that even resolute, well-coordinated international action by all involved would at best be capable of keeping climate change within tolerable bounds. The changes in composition of the Earth's atmosphere that have already taken place are too large and the climate system responds too slowly for climate change to be halted completely. Even if greenhouse gases were kept down to their year 2000 concentrations, the emissions to date make a further 0.6 °C of further warming (relative to 1980-1999) inevitable by the end of this century (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007). Depending on the IPPC (2007), according to the scenario, 20 to 30 percent – in some locations up to 60 percent – of animal and plant species are at increased risk of extinction as a result of climate change (IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, 2007).
A German-language overview of the subject and related BfN activities is provided in 'Biologische Vielfalt und Klimawandel – Gefahren, Chancen, Handlungsoptionen' ('Biodiversity and Climate Change: Dangers, Opportunities and Options for Action') in the BfN-Skripten publication series ( BfN-Skripten 148, 2006, PDF file 220 KB). Much of the content of these pages originated in this publication.

Q: Vector bundle with Euclidean metric isomorphic to dual I am trying to proof, that if a vector bundle $\xi$ posses an Euclidean metric, then it is isomorphic to its dual $Hom( \xi, \epsilon^1 )$, where $\epsilon^1 = B( \xi ) \times \mathbb{R}$ denotes the trivial line bundle.
This statement suprises me, as locally the statement should always hold. Does someone have a counterexample of a vector bundle, where this is not true?
My "proof" so far is the following:
Consider the map $\Phi: E(\xi) \to Hom(\xi, \epsilon^1)$, that maps $y=(x,b) \in \mathbb{R}^n \times F$ after the choice of a neighborhood to $g_b(x, -)$, where $g_b(-,-)$ is the metric at the basepoint $b$.
It is an isomorphism as $g_b$ is positive definite, so its describing matrix (after the choice of a basis) is invertible, so any linear form  $\varphi \in (E(\xi)_b)^*$ is of the form $g_b(z,-)$ of the form $g_b(z,-)$.
I feel uncomfortable with it, as for me it is not clear, if everything glues to a global map, as I only consider everything locally, by using the isomorphism $(x,b) \in U \cong \mathbb{R}^n \times F$. Is it true, that these map glue to a global map, and how can one show this?

A: Your proof is correct; you do not even need a Euclidean metric, any (fiberwise) nondegenerate continuous bilinear form $\omega$ will suffice. To construct an isomorphism $\xi\to \xi^*$ use the fiberwise isomorphism
$$
\xi_b\to \xi^*_b, v\mapsto \omega(v, \cdot).
$$
It is clear that this map is well-defined. To check its continuity, use local trivialization, where the bundle is the product
$$
U\times F,
$$
where $F$ is the fiber. With respect to this product structure, $\omega$ has the form
$$
\omega_b(\cdot, \cdot)
$$
where  $b\mapsto \omega_b$ is a continuous map from the base $U$ to the space of 2-tensors on the fiber $F$. Now, continuity of the map
$$
(v,b)\mapsto \omega_b(v, \cdot)
$$
is clear.
