An effusive client brought a litter of puppies to my veterinary clinic for inoculations and worming. She loved them so much, she couldn't keep from remarking about their cute habits.
As the look-alike pups squirmed over and under one another in their box, I realized it would be difficult to tell the treated ones from the rest. I turned on the water faucet, wet my fingers, and moistened each dog's head when I had finished.
After the fourth puppy, I noticed my hitherto talkative client had grown silent. As I sprinkled the last pup's head, the woman leaned forward and whispered, "I never realized they had to be baptized."

Developments in Retail Payment Systems

Liaison Activity
The Board's Announcements and Reserve Bank Reports
List of graphs
Reserve Bank Information and Transfer System
Australia's high-value payments system is the Reserve Bank Information and Transfer System (RITS), owned and operated by the Reserve Bank. RITS is a real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system in which most transactions are settled, one by one, in real-time across Exchange Settlement (ES) accounts held at the Reserve Bank. RITS also settles batches of payments.
A key element of the Board's responsibility for the safety and stability of the payments system in Australia is oversight of RITS. An important part of this is for the Board to satisfy itself that RITS meets the Core Principles for Systemically Important Payment Systems (Core Principles) developed by the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS). To this end, the Reserve Bank periodically conducts self-assessments of RITS, which are subject to review by the Board, with any material changes occurring between assessments being reported to the Board. The latest self-assessment was conducted in 2009. The Board is satisfied that RITS meets all of the Core Principles and, more generally, operates in a way that meets international best practice.
The number of transactions settled on an RTGS basis increased over 2010/11, continuing the trend that was disrupted by the market turbulence in 2008 and 2009 (Graph 15). Daily average transaction values have increased over the past year, but remain below those seen in 2008.
Settlement of payments associated with ASX equity transactions occurs across ES accounts once per day on a net basis. The average daily value of participants' cash settlement obligations in this batch in 2010/11 was $486 million, down by 4.7 per cent from 2009/10.
Although specifically designed for the settlement of high-value payments, RITS also settles a significant number of small-to-medium sized payments. In fact, most of the growth in the number of transactions over the past decade has been in payments under $1 million (Graph 16). As a proportion of total value settled in the system, however, these transactions remain very small.
Liquidity in RITS – as measured by the sum of opening ES balances and intraday repurchase agreements – was lower in 2010/11, although it has remained at high levels since the market turmoil of 2008 and 2009 (Graph 17). This increased liquidity is one of a number of factors that has allowed payments to be made earlier in the day. On average, half of each day's payments by value were completed by 1.45 pm during 2010/11, unchanged from the previous year but an hour earlier than occurred in 2006/07.
RTGS payments account for around 90 per cent of the value of interbank settlements, with payments settled on a deferred net basis – related to retail payment systems – accounting for the remainder. Interbank obligations arising from retail payment systems are settled across ES accounts in the daily 9.00 am batch. In 2010/11, the average size of the 9.00 am batch (i.e. the sum of credit and debit positions) was $3.8 billion, slightly higher than the previous year.
Exchange Settlement Accounts
The Board has ongoing responsibility for the Reserve Bank's policy on access to ES accounts. These accounts provide a means for ultimate settlement of interbank obligations via the exchange of a settlement asset – a deposit held with the Reserve Bank – that carries no credit risk.
Under current policy, to be eligible to hold an ES account an institution must be a provider of third-party (customer) payment services with a need to settle clearing obligations with other providers, and able to demonstrate that it has the liquidity to meet settlement obligations under routine conditions, during seasonal peaks and under periods of stress. In general, applicants must be current or prospective members of a payments clearing arrangement or operate a clearing house arrangement. ES accounts are provided solely for settlement of obligations from the clearing process. An institution may be subject to collateral requirements as a condition of holding an ES account; this will depend on several factors, such as whether it is subject to supervision by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), the nature of its operations and the extent of its payments experience.
At present, all APRA-licensed banks are required to have an ES account. Other Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions can apply to have an ES account under the general policy outlined above. However, any entity that accounts for less than 0.25 per cent of all RTGS payments may elect to settle RTGS payments using another ES account holder as an agent.
A full list of ES account holders is available on the Reserve Bank's website.[16]
Oversight of Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS) Bank
CLS Bank provides a mechanism for settling foreign exchange transactions on a payment-versus-payment basis, thereby eliminating foreign exchange settlement risk. There are 17 currencies eligible for settlement in CLS, including the Australian dollar. CLS also settles some one-sided payments related to non-deliverable forwards and credit derivatives, and offers an aggregation service that compresses large volumes of low-value foreign exchange trades for settlement.[17]
CLS is chartered in the United States and regulated and supervised by the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve also co-ordinates the CLS Oversight Committee, which provides for co-operative oversight by the central banks of the currencies that settle in CLS. As CLS settles transactions involving the Australian dollar, the Reserve Bank is represented on this committee.
CLS is an important financial market infrastructure for the Australian financial system. It settled an average of $211.6 billion of foreign exchange transactions involving the Australian dollar each day in 2010/11 (top panel of Graph 18). CLS settlement members fund their short positions arising from Australian dollar settlements by paying into CLS's ES account in RITS. These funds are then paid out to those settlement members with long positions in Australian dollars. The value of these payments in RITS is a fraction of the gross value of transactions involving the Australian dollar settled by CLS, however, because they reflect each settlement member's net position.
Across all currencies, the value of settlements in CLS has grown strongly since the financial market dislocation of late 2008 (bottom panel of Graph 18). The average daily value settled in 2010/11 was US$4.4 trillion.
Available at http://www.rba.gov.au/payments-and-infrastructure/rits/membership/membership-list.html. [16]
The aggregation service works by bundling together into one transaction all buy sides and sell sides in a particular currency pair between two counterparties over an agreed period of time. [17]

Online puzzle of colored spots.
Just did it because I hadn't done it before. Really quick puzzle.
Don't normally like abstracts...but this one I really liked. Way cool!
Oops. Looks like they accidentally spilled water on their painting.
LOL that is EXACTLY what it looks like.
Almost a year later...I just spilled my coffee. What a mess.
Had to chance clothes and slippers. Didn't have any "artwork" here, but I drowned my little notebook, dang it!
Wow that was lovely, & different shades of colours, also I love doing abstracts thank you team.

Osmind Closes $15 Million Series A Round to Help Clinicians and Researchers Bring Innovative Mental Health Treatments to More Patients
Quick Take:
The funding comes from a number of angel investors with experience in the industry.
Funding will support expansion of Osmind's neuropsychiatry software platform and team growth
Osmind, a healthcare technology company building the first digital infrastructure for neuropsychiatry, closed $15 million in Series A funding to further develop and expand its electronic health record (EHR) and research platform. The financing was led by Future Ventures, joined by existing investor General Catalyst and new investors Tiger Global, Offline Ventures, and Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang's AME Cloud Ventures.
A number of angel investors also participated, including Joshua Kushner (co-founder of Oscar Health and Thrive Capital), Adrian Aoun (founder of Forward), Jonathan Hirsch (founder of Syapse), Alice Zhang (co-founder of Verge Genomics), Bay Gross (co-founder of Cityblock Health), and Linhao Zhang (co-founder of TrialSpark). The company also announced the addition of Miki Kapoor (co-founder of Verana Health) as an advisor.
Osmind will use this funding to make key hires and continue scaling its EHR, which currently serves over 215 mental health practices in 38 states across the country. It will also continue to develop its research platform, which enables the discovery, development, and delivery of new diagnostics and therapeutics for treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
An estimated one-third of patients with depression are treatment-resistant, meaning they have failed two or more adequate trials of conventional therapies. The current mental healthcare landscape focuses largely on subclinical patients and promoting wellness, leaving a high unmet need for more effective, personalized treatment options for patients with acute or severe conditions. Osmind delivers real-world insights at scale to drive therapy development and inform best practices for patient care in a field undergoing rapid revolution. The company aims to usher in a new era of neuropsychiatry by powering advancements similar to those made in oncology over the past decade—leveraging technology and data to enable precision mental healthcare.
Osmind's modern EHR is the first and only software that solves specific challenges faced by innovative mental health practices. It allows clinicians to track measurement-based outcomes for intensive treatment modalities and deliver more tailored care, automates compliance processes for the U.S. FDA and insurance companies, and streamlines patient and practice management. The software also aggregates de-identified real-world data to accelerate research and development of new mental health treatments and diagnostics such as psychedelic medicines, neuromodulation, digital therapeutics, digital phenotyping, and neuroimaging.
"At Future Ventures, we invest in passionate founders who are forging a better future and restructuring industries such as sustainable transportation, energy and agriculture, as well as outer space exploration and the inner space of mental health, we see neuropsychiatry at a similar inflection point, and Osmind is accelerating a renaissance in one of the most broken areas of healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of depression tripled. The World Health Organization predicts that—without significant changes—mental illness will cost the world economy $16 trillion by 2030, making it the largest disease burden globally. A new generation of psychedelic therapies in FDA trials are showing unprecedented cure rates. Change is coming, and Osmind can help humanity learn how to heal."
Steve Jurvetson, co-founder of Future Ventures
The company also plans to expand its research collaborations, building on initiatives already in progress with top academic institutions, life sciences companies, and industry partners such as Fluence and The Ketamine Taskforce for Access to Safe Care and Insurance Coverage.
"We are truly grateful to our investors and our early adopter clinicians who believe in our ability to build the infrastructure necessary to transform mental healthcare, this capital will enable us to take Osmind's foundational technology and team to the next level, unlocking innovation that results in better care for mental health patients who need it most."
Lucia Huang, CEO and co-founder of Osmind
Additionally, Osmind is welcoming Miki Kapoor as an advisor to lend his deep expertise on the U.S. healthcare system and as a CEO, President, co-founder, and board member for several healthcare companies that have been acquired and gone public while he has been at the helm. An accomplished executive with over 20 years of healthcare data and technology experience, Mr. Kapoor is an Operating Partner at Linden Capital Partners and most recently served as President and CEO of Verana Health, which he co-founded and where he currently serves as Senior Advisor. Prior to Verana, Mr. Kapoor was CEO of Tea Leaves Health. Other previous roles include President of Everyday Health and Head of the Global Payer and Provider Division for IMS Health, now IQVIA.
About Osmind
Osmind is building the operating system for neuropsychiatry. Our mission is to empower clinicians and researchers to bring innovative mental health treatments to patients who need it most. Osmind's EHR is the leading software solution designed for progressive mental health providers to track outcomes, streamline workflows, and increase client engagement for evidence-based practices. The EHR anchors a digital infrastructure that generates insights for researchers to unlock novel therapeutic approaches and precision psychiatry. For more information, visit osmind.org.
How The Pandemic Has Highlighted the Need for Mental Health Alternatives
With the breakthrough of psychedelic medicine just on the horizon, right now is a very exciting time to be an investor. But what is pushing the psychedelic revolution even further is the global pandemic. The isolation of lockdown has had a significant impact on the mental well-being of many people.

There's lots of things going on this time of year so we thought we'd bring them all together in one big party this Saturday, 4 November 2017.
So the theme is Halloween with Bonfire Night with Movember. Dress to impress or fright! Whatever your costume, wear a moustache for Movember. If you don't have one we can paint one on for you or you can use one of our stick on Moustaches.
We'll be lighting our Fire Bins, Toasting Marshmallows, Lighting Sparklers, Bobbing Apples, Dancing to the Demon Disco and Howling to the Kreepy Karaoke. There won't be fireworks as we have lots of horses and doggy neighbours and we don't want to frighten them. There's still going to be lots of fun for all the family. The zombie buffet will rise again and there'll be hot dogs and soup and party food.
The party is free, but if you'd like to make a donation to our charity of the month, The Movember Foundation, that would be really nice. The Movember Foundation is the only charity tackling men's health on a global scale, year round, addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.
The fun starts at 7pm on Saturday 4 November.

Nancy King (1940-)
By Lynn Darroch
For most of her career, Nancy King has been considered the Pacific Northwest's pre-eminent jazz singer. National recognition was slower to come, though she always received the praise of her peers. For twenty years, King was known as an underground classic—a supremely talented vocalist whose strict adherence to straightahead jazz and independent attitude at times got in the way of national tours and higher visibility. By the end of the 1990s, however, King had become one of the leading jazz singers in the world. An improvising musician in the tradition of singers Sheila Jordan, Betty Carter, and Ella Fitzgerald, King is a master of the bebop-based scat singing style made famous by Louis Armstrong, as well as the vocalese approach developed by singer and lyricist Jon Hendricks, in which jazz solos are set to lyrics.
The accolades began to arrive early for the former Nancy Whalley, who grew up outside Springfield, Oregon. She had already begun playing jazz professionally and won a beauty pageant and screen test as a teenager. When she enrolled at the University of Oregon in 1959, she began performing with guitarist Ralph Towner and bassist Glen Moore (who both went on to international fame with the group Oregon). She was asked to leave the University in 1960, King has reported, because of her association with African Americans and civil rights activism. She soon began singing at Jimbo's Bop City in San Francisco, where she met saxophonist Sonny King, who would become the father of the couple's three children (they did not marry);he died in 1983 at age 52 (Kaliss, September 1992). While in San Francisco, she also met and performed with jazz legends such as Pharoah Sanders and Miles Davis.
After singing on the Playboy Club circuit and performing with Charlie Smalls, songwriter for the musical, "The Wiz," King returned to Oregon. After nearly a decade of struggle, when she raised three sons on her own and sang in nightclubs on the side, King's first album, "First Date," was released in 1979. In Portland, King began performing with Leroy Vinnegar, John Stowell, Lawrence Williams, and Eddie Wied, among others. Over time, her reputation spread, and in 1986, jazz guitarist Herb Ellis called King "the greatest living jazz singer" in an interview with JazzIz magazine.
In the late 1980s, King began performing in jazz festivals in Europe. Finally, in 1994, after the albums "Perennial," "Impending Bloom," "Potato Radio," and "Cliff Dance" were released in a span of three years, King won Downbeat magazine's Talent Deserving Wider Recognition poll for female vocalists. In 1996, King and her long-time pianist, Steve Christofferson, recorded the CD, "Straight into Your Heart," with the acclaimed Metropole Orchestra of The Netherlands, and she continued performing at jazz festivals abroad. In 2004, Grammy nominee and fellow jazz singer Karin Allyson invited King to tour with her. In 2006, King was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Jazz Vocalist category for her duo album with pianist Fred Hersch, "Nancy King Live at the Jazz Standard."

Turning Lemons into Lemonade! - schoolofbookkeeping.com - Ignite Your Practice!
Yesterday, we attempted to upgrade our subscription software to provide some great new features to our students. It didn't work.
"Soochie" Sabol is one of our longest standing students. She joined in our first month. She's been with us ever since. We kinda love her!
The email was a mistake and NONE OF OUR STUDENTS ARE BEING CHARGED THIS ERRONEOUS AMOUNT!
We received a ton of emails in response. Almost everyone gave us the benefit of the doubt because they know us and they know we'd never do this type of thing purposely. Again, no one was actually charged for it, it was just an email.
One person threatened legal action and promised to call the police. We assured this person that it was merely an email glitch. Haven't heard back yet.
Another person cancelled their subscription.
Soochie didn't respond last night when she received the email. She figured her annual subscription was up for renewal. She didn't mind one bit.
I reached out to Soochie this morning to discuss it. She thought the whole thing was hilarious. Her response to me was "Gee, Eric, thanks for the free advertising." Then she posted this on Facebook: "Eric & School of Bookkeeping are officially awesome! #justsaying" Because she was so nice about it, we just provided her with her annual renewal for FREE.
I didn't sleep a wink last night, as I was up dealing with this nonsense. I'm really tired but it's all fixed now. I sent a few emails of my own to the developer of the software. While I could've given them a piece of my mind, I was kind. I know they were doing their best. I know how they must feel right now.
Life is crazy sometimes. Things go awry. Technology is challenging. Systems go down. Connections get cut. Hard drives crash.
On a similar but unrelated matter, this week, many received an email from Intuit about Intuit Payroll.
Some were upset about the business name missing. Others concerned that the system was going to automatically charge their account. It was a mistake. Alison Ball of Intuit jumped on the thread in ABBO immediately and gave everyone comforting information and advised us that no one would be automatically charged. Intuit is a big company, but it has human beings that operate it. Those human beings are not perfect. They make mistakes. They own them, like we did, and they take care of partners and customers properly.
The moral of my post is: Let's give our partners and friends and acquaintances the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions. It's healthier for us and will serve us better in our lives and careers. Intuit is not in the business of overcharging or secretly charging it's partners or customers. Neither is schoolofbookkeeping.com.
I want to thank all the nice students who sent in a very friendly email inquiring about our mistaken email. You made my night much easier. And for the ones that didn't, we will give you the benefit of the doubt in return. We don't know your personal or financial circumstances. We have never walked in your shoes. I bet you had good reason to worry and we understand because, well, we're human too. We're sorry for the jolt to your blood pressure, really we are. But in the end, you made us realize that being human is just part of the deal and we're going to be nice the next time something happens that raises our blood pressure. We'll think and remember this situation and we'll handle things professionally, politely and we'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Oh, and while this mishap may have ruffled some feathers, Soochie and the Smetana Group not only got a good chuckle, they got a free annual subscription worth $365 just for being nice.
Wonderful – Thanks for your kindness! I figured it was a glitch, it happens!
Feel your pain guys – it's all upwards from here – love your work !
This is a great post, Eric. So important to not only own your mistakes, but to give others the benefit of the doubt. Grateful that you have reminded me of this lesson.

New Opal claims WNBA title with Seattle
Shannon Reynolds | 13 September, 2018, 23:26
She won four national championships with the Huskies, Olympic gold in 2016, and world championship gold in 2014 - all on teams coached by Geno Auriemma.
The Seattle Storm clinched the 2018 WNBA championship on Wednesday, completing the sweep of the Washington Mystics with a 98-82 victory.
Howard was right behind her, dropping a double-double 29 points and 14 rebounds in the win, shooting 11-of-14 from the field.
The top-seeded Storm led Phoenix 2-0 in the semifinals and then dropped two straight road games before winning Game 5 in Seattle.
The ultra-confident, steely cool Stewart had a feeling about this game, just as she had a feeling about this series and this season.
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt sank a 3-pointer with 6:49 left to cut Seattle's 16-point lead at the start of the fourth to five (72-67) and inject a little suspense in a game the Storm controlled for three quarters.

Google is pulling the plug on its experimental Inbox email app
In it, Google walks customers through using some of their favorite features from Inbox in Gmail as well as discover new ones. Back in April, though, Google launched its new Gmail experience, which includes numerous features first introduced in Inbox.
When Storm coach Dan Hughes was hired after last season he told Bird that he hoped he could get her one more. "I've seen her as a youngster, and I have seen her with the Storm, and she really is truly awesome".
The championship was Seattle's third in WNBA history. All of this was new, and yet, all of it felt like it had happened before, even to Stewart. "There is probably no comparison to be honest". Players were selected by position and received five points for each First Team vote and three points for each Second Team vote. Our team went through a rebuild and yes, I made a decision to stay. But at 37, the question seems to always linger for the league's oldest player - how much longer will we get to see her do things like this?
The coach sensed something brewing early in his first year with the franchise.
It was also reported that Mystics star Elena Delle Donne was a guest on the next episode of LeBron's HBO show 'The Shop.' Kristi Toliver had 22 points. You know, it's been a great season for our organization, for our players, and we had a lot of growth. Seattle obliterated Washington and became the sixth team to sweep the Finals in three games.
Some teams on the wrong end of championship results will say the season was a failure because the goal was to win it.
"I think Natasha Howard is the biggest difference between [the Storm] last year and this year on the court". Bird said. "That's when I knew it was over". "Those are huge. Those are huge because not only is she going to score, she's going to distribute well". In turn, they've forced Seattle to turn the ball over a combined 25 times so far and forced 15 turnovers in game two alone. Poor perimeter shooting contributed.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly wants to replicate the city's ring of steel a little farther north.
Similar to his Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, the commissioner wants to create a high-tech surveillance system in midtown, from approximately 34th Street to 59th Street, river to river.
This type of counter-terrorism security already is in the works downtown — much to the chagrin of some civil libertarians. The synchronized camera system below Canal Street in Lower Manhattan was a response to the September 11th attacks and costs nearly $100 million. That system includes 3,000 plus security cameras and license plate readers to provide 24-hour surveillance of the area. The counter-terrorism initiative is housed in the Lower Manhattan Security Coordination Center, which opened last November.
Kelly said the Midtown system would be based in the same coordination center. It's implementation is dependent on federal funding. Kelly said they would need about $58 million.
The commissioner broke the news at a City Council hearing this morning on the department's budget (more on that later). Council members did not raise any opposition to the proposal.
The city's Lower Manhattan initiative has seen its fair share of controversy and opposition. Advocates question whether the initiative is "big brother," invading the privacy of those that live and work in Lower Manhattan, or effective and honest terrorism prevention.
Just last week, the public comment period ended for the department's privacy procedures for downtown's ring of steel. According to that proposal, license plate numbers would be kept on file for 5 years.
One could imagine similar guidelines would pertain to the Midtown proposal.


To address the rising cost of college tuition, the University of Sioux Falls reset its undergraduate tuition price by $10,000. This move places USF among the most affordable institutions in the region. And it helps make USF's high-quality, intensely personal, Christ-centered educational experience accessible to more students of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
We're here to explain USF's financial aid details, financial aid processes and financial aid options for all students.

Objective 1: Solve a formula for a specific variable (IA 2.3.1).
It is often helpful to solve a formula for a specific variable. If you need to put a formula in a spreadsheet, it is not unusual to have to solve it for a specific variable first. We isolate that variable on one side of the equals sign and all other variables and constants are on the other side of the equal sign.
Solve the formula V=13πr2hV=13πr2h for h.
Write the formula.
Remove the fraction on the right.
Divide both sides by πr2.πr2.

A pre-owned car dealer has just offered their best candidate, Nicole, a position in sales. The position offers 16% commission on her sales. Her earnings depend on the amount of her sales. For instance, if she sells a vehicle for $4,600, she will earn $736. As she considers the offer, she takes into account the typical price of the dealer's cars, the overall market, and how many she can reasonably expect to sell. In this section, we will look at relationships, such as this one, between earnings, sales, and commission rate.
Solving Direct Variation Problems
In the example above, Nicole's earnings can be found by multiplying her sales by her commission. The formula e=0.16s e=0.16s tells us her earnings, e, e, come from the product of 0.16, her commission, and the sale price of the vehicle. If we create a table, we observe that as the sales price increases, the earnings increase as well, which should be intuitive. See Table 1.
s s , sales price
e=0.16s e=0.16s
$4,600 e=0.16( 4,600 )=736 e=0.16( 4,600 )=736 A sale of a $4,600 vehicle results in $736 earnings.
$9,200 e=0.16( 9,200 )=1,472 e=0.16( 9,200 )=1,472 A sale of a $9,200 vehicle results in $1472 earnings.
$18,400 e=0.16( 18,400 )=2,944 e=0.16( 18,400 )=2,944 A sale of a $18,400 vehicle results in $2944 earnings.
Notice that earnings are a multiple of sales. As sales increase, earnings increase in a predictable way. Double the sales of the vehicle from $4,600 to $9,200, and we double the earnings from $736 to $1,472. As the input increases, the output increases as a multiple of the input. A relationship in which one quantity is a constant multiplied by another quantity is called direct variation. Each variable in this type of relationship varies directly with the other.
Figure 1 represents the data for Nicole's potential earnings. We say that earnings vary directly with the sales price of the car. The formula y=k x n y=k x n is used for direct variation. The value k k is a nonzero constant greater than zero and is called the constant of variation. In this case, k=0.16 k=0.16 and n=1. n=1. We saw functions like this one when we discussed power functions.
If xandy xandy are related by an equation of the form
y=k x n y=k x n
then we say that the relationship is direct variation and y y varies directly with, or is proportional to, the n nth power of x. x. In direct variation relationships, there is a nonzero constant ratio k= y x n , k= y x n , where k k is called the constant of variation, which help defines the relationship between the variables.
Given a description of a direct variation problem, solve for an unknown.
Identify the input, x, x, and the output, y. y.
Determine the constant of variation. You may need to divide y y by the specified power of x x to determine the constant of variation.
Use the constant of variation to write an equation for the relationship.
Substitute known values into the equation to find the unknown.
Solving a Direct Variation Problem
The quantity y y varies directly with the cube of x. x. If y=25 y=25 when x=2, x=2, find y y when x x is 6.
The general formula for direct variation with a cube is y=k x 3 . y=k x 3 . The constant can be found by dividing y y by the cube of x. x.
k = y x 3 = 25 2 3 = 25 8 k = y x 3 = 25 2 3 = 25 8
Now use the constant to write an equation that represents this relationship.
y= 25 8 x 3 y= 25 8 x 3
Substitute x=6 x=6 and solve for y. y.
y = 25 8 (6) 3 = 675 y = 25 8 (6) 3 = 675
The graph of this equation is a simple cubic, as shown in Figure 2.
Do the graphs of all direct variation equations look like Example 1?
No. Direct variation equations are power functions—they may be linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, radical, etc. But all of the graphs pass through ( 0,0 ). ( 0,0 ).
The quantity y y varies directly with the square of x. x. If y=24 y=24 when x=3, x=3, find y y when x x is 4.
Solving Inverse Variation Problems
Water temperature in an ocean varies inversely to the water's depth. The formula T= 14,000 d T= 14,000 d gives us the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at a depth in feet below Earth's surface. Consider the Atlantic Ocean, which covers 22% of Earth's surface. At a certain location, at the depth of 500 feet, the temperature may be 28°F.
If we create Table 2, we observe that, as the depth increases, the water temperature decreases.
d, d, depth
T= 14,000 d T= 14,000 d
500 ft 14,000 500 =28 14,000 500 =28 At a depth of 500 ft, the water temperature is 28° F.
1000 ft 14,000 1000 =14 14,000 1000 =14 At a depth of 1,000 ft, the water temperature is 14° F.
2000 ft 14,000 2000 =7 14,000 2000 =7 At a depth of 2,000 ft, the water temperature is 7° F.
We notice in the relationship between these variables that, as one quantity increases, the other decreases. The two quantities are said to be inversely proportional and each term varies inversely with the other. Inversely proportional relationships are also called inverse variations.
For our example, Figure 3 depicts the inverse variation. We say the water temperature varies inversely with the depth of the water because, as the depth increases, the temperature decreases. The formula y= k x y= k x for inverse variation in this case uses k=14,000. k=14,000.
Inverse Variation
If x x and y y are related by an equation of the form
y= k x n y= k x n
where k k is a nonzero constant, then we say that y y varies inversely with the nth nth power of x. x. In inversely proportional relationships, or inverse variations, there is a constant multiple k= x n y. k= x n y.
Writing a Formula for an Inversely Proportional Relationship
A tourist plans to drive 100 miles. Find a formula for the time the trip will take as a function of the speed the tourist drives.
Recall that multiplying speed by time gives distance. If we let t t represent the drive time in hours, and v v represent the velocity (speed or rate) at which the tourist drives, then vt=distance. vt=distance. Because the distance is fixed at 100 miles, vt=100 vt=100 so t=100/v. t=100/v. Because time is a function of velocity, we can write t(v). t(v).
t(v) = 100 v = 100 v −1 t(v) = 100 v = 100 v −1
We can see that the constant of variation is 100 and, although we can write the relationship using the negative exponent, it is more common to see it written as a fraction. We say that time varies inversely with velocity.
Given a description of an indirect variation problem, solve for an unknown.
Determine the constant of variation. You may need to multiply y y by the specified power of x x to determine the constant of variation.
Solving an Inverse Variation Problem
A quantity y y varies inversely with the cube of x. x. If y=25 y=25 when x=2, x=2, find y y when x x is 6.
The general formula for inverse variation with a cube is y= k x 3 . y= k x 3 . The constant can be found by multiplying y y by the cube of x. x.
k = x 3 y = 2 3 ⋅25 = 200 k = x 3 y = 2 3 ⋅25 = 200
Now we use the constant to write an equation that represents this relationship.
y = k x 3 ,k=200 y = 200 x 3 y = k x 3 ,k=200 y = 200 x 3
y = 200 6 3 = 25 27 y = 200 6 3 = 25 27
The graph of this equation is a rational function, as shown in Figure 4.
A quantity y y varies inversely with the square of x. x. If y=8 y=8 when x=3, x=3, find y y when x x is 4.
Solving Problems Involving Joint Variation
Many situations are more complicated than a basic direct variation or inverse variation model. One variable often depends on multiple other variables. When a variable is dependent on the product or quotient of two or more variables, this is called joint variation. For example, the cost of busing students for each school trip varies with the number of students attending and the distance from the school. The variable c, c, cost, varies jointly with the number of students, n, n, and the distance, d. d.
Joint Variation
Joint variation occurs when a variable varies directly or inversely with multiple variables.
For instance, if x x varies directly with both y y and z, z, we have x=kyz. x=kyz. If x x varies directly with y y and inversely with z, z, we have x= ky z . x= ky z . Notice that we only use one constant in a joint variation equation.
A quantity x x varies directly with the square of y y and inversely with the cube root of z. z. If x=6 x=6 when y=2 y=2 and z=8, z=8, find x x when y=1 y=1 and z=27. z=27.
Begin by writing an equation to show the relationship between the variables.
x= k y 2 z 3 x= k y 2 z 3
Substitute x=6, x=6, y=2, y=2, and z=8 z=8 to find the value of the constant k. k.
6 = k 2 2 8 3 6 = 4k 2 3 = k 6 = k 2 2 8 3 6 = 4k 2 3 = k
Now we can substitute the value of the constant into the equation for the relationship.
x= 3 y 2 z 3 x= 3 y 2 z 3
To find x x when y=1 y=1 and z=27, z=27, we will substitute values for y y and z z into our equation.
x = 3 (1) 2 27 3 = 1 x = 3 (1) 2 27 3 = 1
A quantity x x varies directly with the square of y y and inversely with z. z. If x=40 x=40 when y=4 y=4 and z=2, z=2, find x x when y=10 y=10 and z=25. z=25.

The development of the world brings in a lot of benefits to people. Modern technological innovation are being produced, business methods are now improved, amusement turns to be more amusing, and essentially the lives of the mankind are now getting more effortless and worthy of living. However, it is not only the way of life of people is being enhanced. A great deal of harmful bacteria are progressing as well and this has an effect to fresh types of diseases. Because of this, the need to clean our surroundings, establishment, and property regularly becomes of utmost importance.
Recognizing the high demand for a safer environment has generated the idea of janitorial software. This solution is mainly a product of brilliant minded people who are targeting to make cleaning services provide quality, time saving, and fair rate of the job. But the level of competition is fully packed in janitorial business, and many techniques are being used, yet many of the conventional advertising and marketing approaches are not lucky to succeed.
The situation of janitorial service organizations that have the janitorial bidding program is very different. Most of them have the capacity to produce realistic and interesting cleaning proposals for commercial and residential establishments for as long as they know how to fully use the application's function. One really exciting attribute of this software is that a cleaning organization could do printing a meaningful deal, offer it to the potential clients, and can receive the top chance to be approved as the finest bidder and get hold of the project. Another interesting part of janitorial software would be the function to be accessed anywhere through the internet. You do not have go home or go back to your office to send bidding to your prospects because you can submit it right then and there. Competitive templates are available in good bidding software for quick proposal submission, but personalized options are also available.
Assuming that you already have decided to get janitorial service software. Now, the dilemma is on which provider should you obtain the application? There are in fact two fundamental solutions to select. Initially is to have it from organizations with ages of known reputability, and next is to get it from new or escalating businesses. Both options have their own benefits. The first alternative would be indisputably trustworthy. The consistent positive feedback from several clients could be among their strength in terms of dependability. On the flip side, the second approach will have its advantage also. Fresh and newly starting corporations are trying really hard to take the primary lead or go over other similar organizations. Their edge could be on decreased costs or charges and extra purposeful options on the janitorial program.

Pinkalicious: Tickled Pink by Victoria Kann was a fortuitous find. Ian had taken the kids book shopping while I was doing a presentation for school. Sean chose a joke book and Harriet chose Pinkalicious: Tickled Pink, a story about Pinkalicious learning to tell jokes.
Pinkalicious ends up in a joke telling contest with one of the Goth girls from Purplicious. She goes home, much like Anne Shirley does in many of the Green Gables chapters, to panic over the contest and struggle to come up with the perfect joke. The book shows how one can be creative and true to one's self while still being entertaining. It's also nice to see the adversarial relationship between Pinkalicious and the Goth girls evolve into something more positive.
My children are Pinkalicious fans. We own the original three picture books and have read them more times than I can count. Now that my daughter is learning to read, the shorter early reader paperbacks are perfect for her and her brother to share. She can read most of the book with him helping on the words she doesn't know. It's great way for them to spend time together on a car trip.


area to the higher floors, by cantilevering (Figure 4); provided the set-backs are not violated and one keeps within the permitted FAR and height limits (Ahmed, 2010).
Mandetory road width to get typical Far facilities: 6m for all areas except private housing area where road width should be fixed at 7.62m.
If the FAR included construction area is over 3000 sqm at residential use, 4% of that area must be allocated as community. 10% plot area must be fixed to allocate as children play area if the plot is 1300 sqm or more.
There are other FAR tables according to other building use/ occupancy type.
COMPARISON between 1996 and 2008 ACTS on different Features by Ahmed (2010).
Variation in development/ morphology Very low High potential Because FAR and ground coverage is regulated there is tremendous scope for different heights and spreads of buildings, resulting in diverse settlements.
•	Two buildings in one site must be situated at least 4 meters away from each other if in front or rear, and 2.5 meters away if they are side by side.
•	Every dwelling unit in a residential building shall have at least one room, which shall not be less than 9.5 square meters with a minimum width of 2.5 meters. Other habitable rooms in the dwelling unit shall have a minimum area of 5 square meters each, with a minimum width of 2 meters.
•	The minimum floor area of kitchen is 4 sqm with a minimum width of 1.5 m.
•	The minimum floor area of a bathroom where water closet and bathing facilities are combined shall be 2.8 square meters with a minimum width of 1 meter. For bathrooms without water closet, the minimum area shall be 1.5 square meters with a minimum width of 1 meter. The minimum area of a toilet with water closet only shall be 1.2 square meters with a minimum width of 1 meter. Three fixture bathrooms containing bathing, hand washing and water closet facilities shall have a minimum area of 3 square meters with a minimum width of 1.25 meters.
Benefit of additional FAR 0.05 for every 0.3 m wide road surrender to be 6m wide road.
Benefit of getting concessions for balconies (hanging spaces with railings but no walls/grills on two sides) is existed. Such terms encourage generate 'indoor-outdoor space' relationships with and strictly keep provision for rescue the inhabitants in case of any emergency.
•	Driveway and turning radius for parking.
•	Minimum parking areas for buildings.
•	Minimum dimension for airwell and lightwell.
The new building construction rule 2008 encourages a high-density urban development through a relaxed building height and plot coverage rules and regulations. Building height, distance between buildings and street widths are important design features which need to be considered at the design stage of urban outdoor spaces. The impact of the rule is being reflected in the recent high-rise characters in city's residential and commercial areas (Sharmin et al.,2012). The following burning issues have necessitated to introduce floor area ratio (FAR) as an enhancement of the traditional methods of urban development legislation.
•	As the growth has been indiscriminate and haphazard, incredible pressures (described at chapter two) are threatening Dhaka. Only setback guided layout with little scope for lighting & ventilation was inadequate and required a unique and significant mandatory feature to guide sustainable infrastructure development in Dhaka.
•	Land price of Dhaka almost knows no bounds. Hence, the city is losing critical land uses like rivers, lakes and other vital key water bodies (wetlands), crucial for flood water retention and run-off to monumentally skewed demand for land by the neo-rich, black money traders, foreign remitters, public and private sectors professionals – resulting in high appetite to specular land value (Ahmed et al. 2018). As a result, the city is becoming less livable with degraded environment and more prone to natural & manmade risks and vulnerability.
•	Land owner want full utilization of land to maximise returns from the land as rent or see. Therefore, it is often seen that minimum setback requirements of the regulations indicate the actual land left over and landowner tends to build up in setback areas.
•	The growth of Dhaka has been random. Dhaka city deserves high density and innovative urban form that could embrace greeneries as a mandatory provision. (Ahmed, 2018). In order to manage the ever-increasing pressures, the city has no other way but to expand vertically. FAR eliminates mandatory height limitations of buildings, increased open spaces allowing design flexibility.
•	Dhaka also needs to find innovative ways to greening (roof-top gardening) and water consumption (rainwater harvesting) and move away from groundwater consumption as the groundwater table is depleting faster (Araos et al. 2016).
•	Stated by DESA, the demand for power in Dhaka city has increased by around 10% a year. As the supply is not adequate to meet the demand in the city, so either we have to adopt it or think alternative path way to solve the power crisis (Rahman & Siddiquee, 2012). In a study it was found that Lowering site coverage with an increased building height improves outdoor ventilation. FAR maintained well design have possibility to reduce the cooling load of the residential flats by 64% and hence reduce the total energy use by 26% by natural ventilation and direct sunlight (Sharmin et al. 2012). Building codes need to be developed to dependence on conventional energy & to promote and influence energy efficiency in buildings (Ahmed, 2018).
•	The process of designing energy efficient buildings is not a 'one-man's show'. It is just not the architect responsible for designing energy efficient buildings ; to change design practice. Architects, developers, interior designers and the clients are closely intertwined actors. The architect, with increased knowledge and awareness can be initiator of designing energy efficient buildings and the change in design practice and can encourage others. A mandatory code can influence this innovative approach of buildings design on the way to achieve energy efficiency with a strong base.
•	Deterioration of urban microclimate due to unplanned construction of built forms is a major concern in Dhaka. Regarding the context where climate change is a crucial issue, a proper arrangement of urban are with comfortable outdoor spaces can positively contribute to mitigate the harmful impacts of urban climate as well as urban heat island.
•	Urban experts believe that Floor Area Ratio of RAJUK, NWBPPA (Natural Water Body Protection and Preservation Act) along other supporting acts are adequate for prevention of hazards in Dhaka (Chowdhury, 2017).
•	Decisions made on density profile also have significant impact on health, urban environment, productivity of cities, and on human development as a whole (Acioly ; Davidson,1996). FAR creates scopes to recover, recreate ; provide 'Urban spaces' for mitigating ; to combat the urban crisis.
•	Dhaka if extremely affected by flood and water logging. Building urban resilience to floods is essentially a process of adaptation—instead of fighting the waterbody / authorities; by allowing rain water inside the plot, water runoff delay by vegetation to recharge ground water, wider road with improved drainage facility can help to be resilient.
?	Balance between rapid urbanization & densification.
?	Develop strong socio-economic characteristics.
?	Support to reconstruct sustainable and healthy environment.
?	DM implications: Adopt, mitigate and combat urban crisis (shock & stresses).
?	Recharge ground water level.
?	Adopt Changing climate and mitigate urban heat island effect.

Created this pet today, there is no recipe for it and I'm not sure if it comes from any cooking recipe but it popped into my bags as an extra while i was cooking my Feast of the Waters.
Note: This pet does not accept Magical Pet Biscuit, because food does not eat food (lol).
Managed to get the pet today by making Sleeper Surprise. I assume I got lucky, made about 15-20 stacks of the food before I got it.
6225 Calamari Crepes later, this little stinker is MINE! Sadly, I don't have the Chef's Hat on any Horde toons, so getting him took quite a bit of time.
I'm starting to wonder whether there's something to the idea that multistrike food has a higher chance. That's a peculiar connection for the code to have, but after cooking a few hundred Draenor recipes on alts today (none of which were multistrike food), I switched over to my main to make my first stack of the new 125 multistrike food, Salty Squid Roll. Lil' Leftovers popped on the second one.
I was got mine from cooking about 5 stacks of Salty Squid Roll.
The chance of Leftovers spawning, based on reading more than a dozen people's experiences cooking a lot of these foods, seems like it's on the order of 1 in 2000 (could be half that or twice that, but it's a rough guess). There is not enough data to suggest whether certain types of food affect the chance.
The average list price on auction houses for Lil' Leftovers, based on all US realms, is 5695 gold as of September 2015, and is routinely around 2000 gold on high population realm like Stormrage-US. (Source: The Undermine Journal).
Just to confirm, it does drop in Legion. Got it while cooking Talador Surf and Turf. Took me lots and lots of fish to cook though.

Synopsis: The artificial intelligence Ultron comes into being with the understood purpose of bringing peace to the world, which it interprets as the need to exterminate the human race.
The whole cast is game for the familiar human vs machine storyline. Whedon-esque dialogue continues to be fun. The creation of Vision as a character that chooses to side with humans, even though he does not wholly disagree with Ultron's sentiments.
A weaker story overall than the first Avengers (2012). Few real surprises in the well trodden plot. Has "middle story" narrative problems, in that we know most of the characters will continue past this film. Far less character development in a crowded screen.
On its own, Ultron was still one of the stronger films up to this point in the MCU. However, it was a film that had the hype of its predecessor, but probably did not fully deliver on that promise for some. Again, the human vs machine plot was and is old, and arguably has origins as far back as Fritz Lang's Metropolis of 1927. The trick of making such an old plot work can be through the characters, and the film was largely successful there, even though it is not really a character driven film. Like with Thor: The Dark World (2013), Ultron gave the sense of moving along to grander things.
