Welcoming 4E's Fall Hires!
Every semester, 4E is blessed with a brand new bunch of bloggers! From reading their applications, to laughing at with them during interviews, we had a blast getting to know these students. Learn more about our shining six new bloggers:
Jessica Lin (COL '21)
Top 5 Best Shows for the Pre-Teen Soul
SpongeBob SquarePants. Objectively everyone's cartoon of choice. Though some of us may have aged into Squidwards, we'll always have a soft spot for the shrill yet endearing voice of Bikini Bottom's most legendary resident. The show is currently on its 11th season. Are ye ready kids?
Drake & Josh. Teen comedy at its finest. We cackled over Josh's wildly emphatic gestures, harbored a low-key (or even high-key) crush on Drake, and held a begrudging respect for Megan's hilariously vindictive antics. If ever watching reruns, let's all hope for the laugh tracks to drown out our reaction to Drake not receiving an invitation to his brutha's wedding.
Zoey 101. Let's admit it: we were all a little bitter when our high schools turned out to be nothing like PCA. Maybe it's not too late to cruise past Healy in a Jet X scooter, though.
Avatar: The Last Airbender. Our OG guilty pleasure. We might have started it just for kicks, but Zuko won us over with his transition to the "good guys" side. Suck it, Fire Nation.
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. Ned, Cookie, Moze: name a more iconic trio. But this time, we probably weren't too disappointed that our school experience was (hopefully) nothing like Ned's.
Sam Shapiro (SFS '21)
Top 5 Presidents I'd Like to Party With
Ike Eisenhower. He's seen some things. I would definitely be down to hear some wild war stories. Also, he was a cheerleader at West Point. Actually, that's kinda sus.
Warren G. Harding. Despite being one of the worst presidents of all time, Warren G. must have been the life of the party. He gambled away multiple sets of White House china. He was infertile though, also kinda sus.
Ronald Reagan. I'm talking Hollywood Ronny, SAG President Ronny, vintage Eureka College Ronny. Definitely not War on Drugs Ronald. Definitely not.
John F. Kennedy. He's so handsome. Like so handsome. Partying with JFK means partying with Jacky O and partying with Marilyn Monroe: two things I'm surely here for.
Donald Trump. lmao jk. Bill Clinton. This may be the biggest no-brainer of all time. Have we ever had a president so charming. Fuck, have we ever had an American so charming? At some point during the night he's gonna whip out the saxophone. Then, it's really going down.
Zayna Nassoura (COL '20)
Top 5 Pillars of My Life
Long Beach Island. I have been going to LBI for as long as I can remember. It's part of the Jersey Shore but nothing at all like the tv show. It's a quaint little island with lots of small shops and art. My time there includes biking, picking up my morning coffee and, of course, Wawa.
O'Bagel. If you've never had a New Jersey bagel, you have to! I recommend going to O'Bagel (but other N.J. bagel shops will work). I personally suggest getting a bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel on a Sunday morning.
Khalid. Khalid is my favorite artist of all time. Yes, I know that's a bold statement considering I didn't even know who he was a year ago. But I'm telling you, he has changed my life. I have listened to his album "American Teen" nonstop since he came out with it.
New York City. I could spend a whole day in the Met looking at art or in Chelsea gallery hopping. Other days I love going to SoHo and shopping with friends. During the holidays, Broadway and Rockefeller are my go-to stops.
"My People." This includes my friends and family. For me, weekends at home wouldn't be the same without my parents blasting music through the speakers, my brother making a new recipe or my other brothers playing on their computer together. I can't imagine not having sushi and movie nights with my friends or brunch on weekend mornings.

Top 5 Spreads of All Time (In Order from Greatest to Least Great)

Top 5 Things About Being a Freshman at Georgetown
NSO. There's nothing better than bearing witness to uncomfortable flirtations between awkward and sexually confused 18 year olds. From Convocation to Pluralism in Action, your orientation group has your back—until you promptly begin avoiding eye contact the day after NSO ends. But fear not, the awkwardness pays off with the infamous NSO pregame a couple of weeks later. There are things to look forward to!!!
Club Lau. What better way to introduce yourself to those ~intimidating~ upperclassmen than by getting your groove on at a communal library jam sesh?? No jokes here, I literally danced so hard that water was dripping out of my ponytail by the end of the night. What a unique intro course on how to keep off the freshman fifteen!
#Cawledge #Lyfe. Two days into the semester. I am strutting around campus like the independent college woman that I am. What's that? Only one class on Mondays AND Wednesdays? Whatever shall I do with my time?? What's that? Eating Cheez-Its out of a mug and watching celebrity closet tours is not socially acceptable? I guess I'll just find some club applications to keep myself busy!
Ballin' on a budget. Only college students can be simultaneously cheap as hell and totally irresponsible with their finances. No, I am not willing to do laundry in the two weeks before it's free, and again, no, there's no way I can pass up getting $12 Korean barbecue at the farmer's market. There's no compromising here.
New South pregames. Infamous. Unprecedented. So many adjectives I could use to describe these glorious soirées held by the most impressive, confident, sink-owning members of the freshman class. But watch out–if you party too hardy the RA might get wind of your rager and, in a fit of jealousy, snap pictures of you and your best buddies' GOCards. Will you or won't you get community service? A question you can agonize over with Shakespearean angst for the rest of the semester.
Elizabeth Park (COL '21)
Top 5 Guilty Pleasures
Pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist while singing: More like yelling/screaming at the top of your lungs to the Spice Girl's hit song, "Wannabe" — of course acting like the guitarist, drummer and lead singer is highly encouraged.
Planning on making cookies and then just eating the raw cookie dough: Don't worry, I make the batter without eggs; salmonella doesn't exactly seem like the most pleasant thing.
Binge-watching all the "High School Musical" movies: (C'mon, I know guys like those too. I've seen them secretly jamming out to the soundtrack before.)
Watching Dr. Pimple Popper videos: Okay, I know that these are disgusting. I keep asking myself, "Why do you click on it when you know you're going to end up cringing from disgust?" But even so, I somehow always end up watching another one.
Eating a Hot Pocket at 2:30 in the morning: Really, eating any sort of microwaveable food that requires the least amount of brain cells to make is great at 2:30 a.m.
We can't wait to see what our new bloggers will bring this semester and beyond!

Meet Our New Bloggers
This week, 4E added seven wonderful new bloggers to our staff. We had a blast meeting and interviewing our newest writers, and now it's time for you to meet them, too:
Drew Applebaum (COL '17)
Top 5 WWE Wrestlers of All Time:
5. John Cena: While Cena is clearly the most popular wrestler in the WWE today, I can't justify putting him above five because of his stale character as well as having years left in his career.
4. Ric Flair: Not a lot of people have heard of Flair, but the 16-time world champ deserves a spot on this list. "The Nature Boy's" pretty boy look with long blonde hair and sparkling robes was a character that he executed to perfection, while being a great technician in the ring.
3. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Everyone knows The Rock thanks to his Hollywood success, but The Rock honed that charisma in the squared circle and had great success in the WWE golden days.
2. Hulk Hogan: Hulkamania brother. The Hulkster has been right at the top of popularity from when he started wrestling in the 60's, until even today. He would absolutely be number 1, if it weren't for perhaps the most influential wrestler of all time…
1. Stone Cold Steve Austin: Not a lot of people know who he is, and he may not have the gaudy championship numbers like Flair or Cena, but The Texas Rattlesnake is the most influential, important and entertaining wrestler. He dominated the golden years of the "Attitude Era" in the 90's. Story lines and injuries are the only reason this extremely skilled wrestler does not have more championships, but few people have been more important to the WWE.
Maeve Cleary (COL '17)
If I could live in any one place on campus, I would live in Leo O'Donovan's On the Waterfront (otherwise known as "Leo's"). No brainer. Oh, where do I start? I can go on and on about Leo's most wonderful characteristics. For starters, it is the closest you will come to a 5-star meal in ~the district~. I mean, who doesn't love cold baked sweet potatoes, mushy green beans drowning in salt water and plain white rice?! Oh, and even more, who doesn't love spending $2,000 a year for such a divine eating experience?! Oh right, ME. I absolutely loathe Leo's. I trek to Leo's as infrequently as possible; oftentimes we go several weeks without seeing one another. And really, the inevitable reunion is quite possibly one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. Just in case you were considering treating yourself to a meal at Leo's today, please, for the sake of your own life satisfaction, do not. But without further ado, I will answer your question truthfully. If I could live in any one place on campus, I would choose Gaston Hall in Healy to be my home. It is exceptionally beautiful, it is centrally located on campus and most importantly, it has been graced by the presence of countless amazing individuals… cough, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Spacey… So if anyone is looking for a new roomie and would like to move into my Gaston Hall palace next fall, just let me know!!
Jenna Clifford (SFS '18)
Top 5 Top 5 Lists:
1. Top 5 throwbacks to sing at the top of your lungs (Bust a Move can be screamed if remembered, She Will Be Loved will always be a classic)
2. Top 5 best kept secrets of Leo's (taking fancy bread from upstairs and making a plate of oil, parmesan and oregano dip downstairs)
3. Top 5 roof views on campus (Regents is arguably even better than Reiss and not that hard to get to)
4. Top 5 things to do instead of go for a run (watch 5 episodes of "New Girl", the 26-minute "Astronaut Nap")
5. Top 5 awkward ways to reject a date (turn it into a "friendly dinner," or if asked for phone number respond "I don't have a cellphone" while hiding the phone that was in your hand.)
Joyce Connolly (COL' 18)
Top Five Words You Won't Believe Were Added to the Oxford English Dictionary:
1. Amazeballs: As if the adjective "amazing" just wasn't enough.
2. Ego-surfing: Now you can use "ego-surfing" to capture those weak moments when you look yourself up on Google.
3. Grrrl: Is it really a word anyway if there's no vowel?
4. YOLO: Who would have thought Drake would make his way into the Oxford English Dictionary?
5. Hate-watch: Is it just me who is completely foreign to the concept of watching a show that you hate?
Tori Forelli (COL' 18)
I would love to live in the bell tower of Healy. Now I know this might seem like a strange response to the given question because Healy is in fact not a dorm, but nevertheless I would love to live there. Living in the bell tower, I would have the best view on campus, and would literally be at the highest point on the Hilltop, which I believe would automatically make me the king of the hill. This location would also allow me to frequently steal the clock hands or observe all the attempts made. Sure, the constant ringing of bells in my ear could seem like a potential problem, but in fact I believe that it might be the only force in the world strong enough to wake me up for that 8:00 am Spanish class I signed up for. Now, I know that the bell tower life is not for everyone, but after watching "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" several times, I think I have what it takes.
Shakeema Gonzalez (COL' 17)
Top 5 Scariest Feelings:
1. When you're walking on a slippery sidewalk and you feel the heel of your shoe start to slip but you catch yourself just in time not to fall, which is probably more scary than falling itself.
2. "Did you know there was a back to the worksheet?"
3. Pop Quizzes.
4. Being cold-called in class (IT'S SYLLABUS WEEK C'MON).
5. 5 missed calls from Mom.
Marina Smith (COL' 18)
The Top 5 Times I Have Embarrassed Myself at Georgetown (thus far!):
I have a propensity for embarrassing myself. Luckily, it happens often, so I am well versed in handling awkward and uncomfortable situations (Step 1: Buy several cartons of Ben & Jerry's). Despite having only completed one semester at Georgetown, I have discovered several innovative and exciting ways to experience deep embarrassment. Try one of these methods, and you too can be laughed at for years to come!
1. The time I decided it would be a good idea to do laundry in my bathrobe, locked myself out of the building and walked around a good portion of campus because I had no idea where I was. Freshman protip: try this one if you are looking to make a good first impression on upperclassmen!
2. The time I was trying to take a picture of lightning and proceeded to fall on my face. Don't judge me, I'm from California. We don't have weather there.
3. The time I was trying to be a good person and stop someone from drunk driving but it turned out that they were getting into an Uber. Sorry, profoundly confused and probably terrified Uber driver!
4. The time I spent two days telling my friends how good I was at using the Metro and then wound up hopelessly lost somewhere in Maryland.
5. The time I unintentionally parkoured off the treadmill in Yates. It may or may not have been in front of the entire men's crew team.

The New Bloggers Are Here!
Meet the new 4E bloggers because they're awesome people, you're about to be reading a lot of their uproarious posts and what else is there to do on a Sunday night?
Michaela Murphy (SFS '16)
The 5 Most Profound Rap Lyrics of the Ages:
1. "My wrist deserve a shout out I'm like what up wrist" – 2 Chainz, "Fork"
In giving his wrist that simple "what up," the distinguished lyricist 2 Chainz defies our expectations. He doesn't aim for classic subtle rap allusion that incorporates ambiguous street terms, but tells it straight, directly addressing his wrist in casual greeting.
2. "Good googly moogly that thang is juicy" – Project Pat, "Good Googly Moogly"
What exactly is juicy? And why googly moogly? What about "Good grief?" or "Good gracious?" By using "googly moogly", perhaps Pat is implying more than we can ever know. The genius is that Project Pat will always keep us wondering.
3. "Iced out ring, iced out chain, Ellen DeGeneres, you're so generous" – Lil B, "Ellen DeGeneres"
Playing off of DeGeneres with "generous?" Brilliant. Did Ellen give Lil B the iced out chain? Is that why she's generous? We can only hope so.
4. "Hologram on my hand gave me a tanned wrist / Diamonds dancing on my fist look like a blank disc / Teriyaki suit with the lemon Fanta / Heavyweight, heartburn, My lanta" –Riff Raff, "Cuz My Gear"
Not much one can say here.
5. "This one's a beast, but way too wonderful to be compared to an animal, she's like what I'm sippin' on … Shirley temple on ice" — Akon, "Day Dreaming"
A great qualifying phrase. Props to Akon for clarifying that he wasn't trying to be degrading.
Sara Carioscia (COL '17)
The average Georgetown student's spirit animal is Jennifer Lawrence.
Like Georgetown students, Jennifer Lawrence is very capable of excelling in trying circumstances (maintaining composure alongside Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook could not have been easy). JLaw constantly defends her beliefs, which is a main tenet of Georgetown life. She once said it should be illegal for someone to be called "fat" on television. Similarly, Georgetown students constantly fight for understanding and cohesion on campus.
JLaw is seemingly perfect, but exceptionally self-deprecating (recall interviews in which she has revealed personal details or opinions of herself, such as the asymmetry of her breasts and her self-classification as an "obese actress.") The typical Georgetown student acts similarly. I constantly hear kids say, "I'm not a great writer," "Math isn't my strong subject," "This isn't my best work," etc. Meanwhile they won a statewide essay contest, scored 780 on the Math SAT and are about to graduate magna cum laude.
Catherine McNally (NHS '17)
The Top 5 Party Picture Poses (and what they say about you):
1. The Skinny Arm
You may be in a sorority or you may not, but one thing is clear: you want to look good. Even when you're posing in the middle of a Village B apartment filled wall-to-wall with people you don't know, your main concern will always be embracing your inner Sasha Fierce.
2. The Sun out, Tongue out
You like to party and you want everyone to know just how rowdy you can get. The sun doesn't even have to be out to warrant this pose because you really are that much of a party animal (but hey, I needed to make it sound catchy).
3. The Casual Peace Sign
This pose could really be interpreted in a variety of ways. For example, you could be a tween girl anxiously waiting outside of a Justin Bieber concert or you could just be throwing it up in ironic reverence of your Myspace days. In either case, you do you.
4. The Number 1
This one is pretty self-explanatory, you're number one and you know it. Now what you did to earn this ranking, no one quite knows. But that doesn't matter to you, so keep on throwing up that index finger.
5. The Power Point
You're the Big Man on Campus and you want everyone to know it. This pose is sort of complementary to the "Skinny Arm" and is oftentimes the go-to pose for true bros.
Elizabeth Harvey (COL '17)
5 Best Songs to Blast in the Shower
1. "She Will Be Loved" – Maroon 5
I'm not sure what I love most about this song – Adam Levine's semi-feminine voice, the beautiful lyrics, or its ability to somehow convince you that you're an amazing singer. You're not.
2. "Irreplaceable" – Beyoncé
This is an anthem – and it's only complete if you add some sassy finger-pointing and shampoo bottle-brandishing. "Single Ladies" or "Drunk In Love" are also viable options.
3. "The Middle" – Jimmy Eat World
Warning: Excessive rowdy jumping as induced by this song can lead to serious injury. Proceed with caution.
4. "Complicated" – Avril Lavigne
Let the mascara run down your cheeks, 'cause this shower just reached a whole new level of angst.
5. "The Scientist" – Coldplay
Feel free to cry – no one can tell through the steam.
Honorable Mention: "Piano Man" – Billy Joel
Cristina Serra (SFS '17)
Top 5 Responses to "I'm from Guatemala."
1. My gardener (nanny/maid/butler) is from there!
2. I love Mexico!
3. I don't get how you can be born in Guantanamo Bay. Isn't that illegal or something?
4. Wow, I'd love to live on an island. So breezy.
5. Is that divided in tribes? Or, like, chiefdoms?
Meg Lizza (COL '17)
The hyena is the spirit animal of Georgetown
Blatantly underrated in the animal kingdom, yet a complicated and highly intelligent creature, the hyena is most definitely the spirit animal of Georgetown. Sorry Jack, but the hyena embodies the competitive and clever nature that most Hoyas have. Although they are very hard workers, hyenas usually scavenge off other animals in order to survive. Like hyenas, most Georgetown students could not have gotten to where they are now without leaning on their parents and other support systems. Thank you, mom and dad, I am forever grateful. Hyenas also have extremely evolved and diverse social groups. Unsurprisingly, Georgetown offers an array of social groups that are all complex and unique in their own way. Hyenas are very familial, in that they are prideful and loyal to their group. At Georgetown, we are all about that Hoya Saxa, "It's been so long since last we met", bleeding Hoya blue spirit. Next time you think hyenas are a competitive herd of scavengers, think again, because there is more to them than meets the eye … and you're basically one of them.

Meet the New Bloggers!
This week, 4E added eight talented bloggers to our staff. We had a blast meeting and interviewing our newest writers, and now it's time for you to meet them, too:
Alexis Oni-Eseleh (COL '16)
Top Five Sassiest Ways to End an Argument:
1. "GURRRL BYE." Commit to the "URRRL" in "GURRRL" or it's pointless.
2. "OVER IT." Subsequently strut out of the room to "Diva" by Beyoncé.
3. "UNSUBSCRIBE." Must be used on someone who is social media savvy.
4. Invest in a magic smoke clouds for swift, unexpected exits.
5. Play Miley Cyrus's 2013 VMA Performance. That will shut anyone up.
Camille Dirago (NHS '16)
If you could invent anything for only Georgetown students, what would it be and why?
If I could invent one thing for Georgetown students to use, it would most likely be some kind of contraption to make the numerous amounts of stairs and hills on our campus less daunting to climb. Don't get me wrong, I love our position on top of the hill, but when my backpack is heavier than I am and I have to walk up the hill from Leo's to Lau, I would probably do anything for some king of ski-lift-like device to make the hike less painful. It could work just like any other ski-lift, and it would provide an awesome view of the river and surrounding areas on the way. Not to mention that it would also make our campus much more handicap-friendly!
D.J. Angelini (MSB '17)
The Top Five Ways to Procrastinate on That Essay for One More Hour:
1. Learn how to wall twerk from YouTube tutorials that look like they were filmed using a Nokia phone from the early '90s.
2. Peruse the Internet for in-depth cinematic reviews of the Beyoncé visual album (and possibly write your own?).
3. Walk to Five Guys at 3 a.m. (or take Charlie's zip-line) to reward yourself for opening up a Word document, writing your name and saving the progress.
4. Live tweet a dramatic episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
5. Go to Yates with the intent to work out but really sit and stare in envy at the people who were bold enough to play ping-pong instead.
(All have been personally tested and have been deemed completely effective.)
Emily Min (NHS '16)
Top Five Reasons Everyone Should Drink Juice
1. The variety is insane. Yeah, you can have five or six kinds of Coke but there are at least eight different flavors of Juicy Juice alone! And they don't even have cran-raspberry!
2. You can drink it and feel like you're being healthy … just don't read the nutrition facts.
3. It's a great chaser/mixer/hangover-helper/cure to everyone's problems.
4. Buster Bluth loves it. #offthehook
5. Chance The Rapper devoted a whole song to it! Wait … that's not what "Juice" is about? Never mind.
Lupita Humbert (COL '17)
I would invent an invisibility cloak. In Harry Potter language, "an invisibility cloak is a magical garment which renders whatever it covers unseeable. They may be made from hair of Demiguise, a magical creature that possesses the power to become invisible. This property is used to make the wearer of the cloak invisible."
And why an invisibility cloak? Well, for five main reasons:
1. To enter Gaston Hall undetected when Warren Buffet, Hilary Clinton or Laura Bush are going to give a speech, without having to get in line before 5 a.m.
2. To explore the sinister underground tunnels where secret societies are said to gather, without being caught by anyone who could get you into trouble.
3. To have a free-from-ID pass to enter Tombs on any given Tuesday for Trivia Night if you are not yet 21.
4. To be able to take 20 or more cookies from Leo's without being yelled at by the lady in the dining hall entrance.
5. To enter any building, especially our beautiful Lau, without having to swipe the GoCard that I probably left in my dorm that day or lost the previous night.
Sydney Bolling (COL '16)
Top Five Ways to Stick to Your Workout Plan
1. Get the Netflix app on your phone. Go on the elliptical or walk on the treadmill while watching your favorite shows. You might still be watching TV, but at least you're moving around. Self conscious about watching Netflix at Yates? Go to the back by the mats for some privacy, and watch those cute boys lift weights while you're at it.
2. Buy yourself some new workout paraphernalia; you'll need to use it in order to justify your purchase.
3. Find your most athletic friend and tell them you want to go on a run together. They'll bug you about it until you cave. Bonus points: Hit up Sweetgreen on the way back for a post-workout meal.
4. Get a Yates class pass. There are some awesome classes out there for every fitness level. Relax with some yoga or go hard in spinning – it'll be worth it in the end.
5. Go on Pintrest and find a motivational quote. Put it on your door and eventually you'll guilt yourself into putting on those sneakers.

Q: How do I use NodaTime to string format with a Culture's ShortDatePattern? With a C# DateTime and Culture I can format to a string with:
DateTime exampleDate = DateTime.Now;
CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
String datetimeFormat = exampleDate.ToString(culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern));

How do I achieve the same with NodaTime? I've tried combinations along the lines of (doesn't compile - ToString requires two parameters with NodaTimef):
DateTimeZone timeZone = DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb["fr-FR"];
ZonedDateTime nowZonedDateTime = new ZonedDateTime(Instant.FromDateTimeUtc(DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime()), timeZone);
String nodaFormat = nowZonedDateTime.LocalDateTime.ToString(culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern));

I've also tried combinations around the documentation which indicates I need to use "d" to format to short date (this throws an exception):
String nodaFormat = nowZonedDateTime.LocalDateTime.ToString("d", culture));

What am I missing?

A: Firstly, there isn't a timezone with the ID of fr-FR in TZDB, did you mean Europe/Paris?
Secondly, ToString actually accepts 2 parameters - a pattern string and an IFormatProvider, which can be your CultureInfo. So you're very nearly there - you just need to pass in the culture as the second argument:
CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
DateTimeZone timeZone = DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb["Europe/Paris"];
ZonedDateTime nowZonedDateTime = new ZonedDateTime(Instant.FromDateTimeUtc(DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime()), timeZone);
String nodaFormat = nowZonedDateTime.LocalDateTime.ToString(culture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern, culture);
// nodaFormat would be "27/12/2019"

Our soybeans are planted on ridges formed with a row crop cultivator in corn the previous year. The seedbed is not worked until the planter passes through the field planting soybeans. In the first image, you can see the corn stalk still firmly in the center of the ridge. Our planter is set off about 3 inches from the center of the ridge and places the soybeans beside the old corn row. This has proven to provide a much better seedbed than trying to plant down the center of the ridge, as we did for many years. The RTK GPS guidance makes this possible.
This year proved to be more challenging due to the extremely dry conditions. With 1 1/2 inches of dry dirt on the surface, we had to sweep away a significant amount of dirt with our Dawn brand row cleaners. This worked well to get us down to moisture but proved tricky when soil types varied from a clay loam to more peat like soils. The whole planter unit just sank through the ridge and caused way too much soil to move. We ended up using a field roller on a number of acres to press down the exposed corn root balls that could have caused problems at harvest.
We had our earliest start ever in a planting season. April 15, 2015 was the day it all began. Some tillage was done the day ahead so we could get off to a fast start in the morning. We spent until 2pm on April 15th troubleshooting GPS issues. So much for the jump start. Man can make all the plans he wants, but God is in control.
A few days of warmer and dryer than average weather gave us ideal planting conditions. Looking ahead though told us that our window of opportunity would quickly come to a close. The following week was going to be quite cold with many nights below freezing. Four days of planting and then a break. The next week saw a neighbor here and there putting some corn in the ground, but we did not want to take the chance.
Monday, April 27th we were off to the races again and completed corn planting on April 29th.

Der Ernst-Reuter-Platz (vorher: Knie oder Am Knie) ist ein Verkehrsknotenpunkt im Berliner Ortsteil Charlottenburg (Bezirk Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf). Der Platz erhielt am 3. Oktober 1953 seinen Namen zu Ehren des vier Tage zuvor verstorbenen Regierenden Bürgermeisters Ernst Reuter.

Lage
Der Platz befindet sich auf der großen Ost-West-Achse Berlins im Berliner Bezirk Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Ortsteil Charlottenburg. Er liegt im Bereich des Campus Charlottenburg (Wissenschaftsstandort: TU Berlin, Universität der Künste, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt etc.) und im Gebiet der City West.

Auf den großen Kreisverkehr führen fünf Straßen:
 Hardenbergstraße
 Straße des 17. Juni
 Marchstraße
 Otto-Suhr-Allee
 Bismarckstraße.

Unter dem Platz verläuft die Linie U2 der Berliner U-Bahn mit dem Bahnhof Ernst-Reuter-Platz.

Die Mittelinsel des Rondells ist begrünt, mit Bänken, Bäumen, Blumenbeeten und einem Springbrunnen gestaltet. Sie kann unterirdisch über die U-Bahn-Station erreicht werden. Die meisten Besucher der vom Verkehr umfahrenen Mitte des Rondells nehmen allerdings den kurzen Weg quer über die Fahrspuren.

Geschichte des Platzes

Zwischen dem Berliner Stadtschloss und dem vor den Toren der Stadt gelegenen Schloss Charlottenburg verlief ein Fahrweg über die Charlottenburger Chaussee (seit 1953: Straße des 17. Juni) und – ab Stadtgrenze Charlottenburg am Landwehrkanal – die damalige Berliner Straße. Diese knickte beim Ernst-Reuter-Platz nach Nordwesten in die Otto-Suhr-Allee ab. Der Knick hieß zunächst Umschweif und ab 1831 Am Knie.

Am 22. Juni 1865 wurde die erste deutsche Pferdebahn in Betrieb genommen, die vom Brandenburger Tor über Charlottenburger Chaussee – Berliner Straße – Knie bis nach Charlottenburg führte. Um 1900 war das Knie der Kreuzungspunkt mehrerer Linien der Berliner Straßenbahn, unter anderem zum Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten, nach Alt-Moabit und zum Sophie-Charlotte-Platz. Im Dezember 1902 eröffnete unter dem Platz die Station Knie der Hochbahngesellschaft (heute: U-Bahn Berlin).

Zu jener Zeit gingen von dem Platz sechs Straßen ab. Der Verkehr floss jedoch im Wesentlichen nach Nordwesten Richtung Spandau und zur im Aufbau befindlichen Siemensstadt. Ab 1905 sollte daher – als Verlängerung von Charlottenburger Chaussee / Berliner Straße – die damals noch schmale Bismarckstraße eine Verbindung nach Westen schaffen und zu einer Prachtstraße und Paradeweg ausgebaut werden. Dazu wurde über mehr als zehn Kilometer eine breite Schneise durch die gerade erst gebauten Stadtteile geschlagen; das Vorbild waren die Boulevards (genauer: Avenuen) von Paris.

Planungen Albert Speers im Rahmen der "Welthauptstadt Germania" zur Umgestaltung des Platzes als Teil der neuen Ost-West-Achse konnten nicht vollends verwirklicht werden. Reichsschatzmeister Franz Xaver Schwarz kaufte 1939 das am Platz befindliche Grand Hotel am Knie (Bismarckstraße 1) und ließ es umbauen. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs befand sich dort von 1941 bis zur Zerstörung durch einen Luftangriff am 22. November 1943 der Sitz der Dienststelle Rosenberg. Die Ruinen rund um den Platz wurden nach dem Krieg durch Trümmerfrauen und den Einsatz von Trümmerbahnen abgeräumt.

Der vom Knie nach Osten führende Abschnitt der Berliner Straße erhielt am 22. Juni 1953 seinen heutigen Namen Straße des 17. Juni, der Platz selbst am 3. Oktober 1953 den Namen nach Ernst Reuter und der nach Nordwesten führende Straßenzug wurde am 3. September 1957 zur Otto-Suhr-Allee.

Der Berliner Senat ließ nach der Trümmerbeseitigung an Stelle des alten "Knies" ein großzügiges Rondell anlegen. Die Idee einer Verkehrsinsel umzingelt von lose gruppierten Einzelbauten, anstatt einer geschlossenen Platzwand, stammt von Ludwig Mies von der Rohe. Dies sollte einen Eindruck von Leichte und Unbeschwertschwertheit erzeugen. Von Mitte der 1950er bis in die 1970er Jahre hinein entstanden die Gebäude, die im 21. Jahrhundert von Fakultäten der TU Berlin und Unternehmen wie der Deutschen Telekom und der Teles AG genutzt werden. In den 1960er Jahren diente der Platz oft als Vorzeigeobjekt des Neuen Berlin.

Charakteristika

Aufgrund starker Kriegszerstörungen wurde 1955 ein städtebaulicher Wettbewerb ausgelobt. Über seine genauen Hintergründe ist wenig bekannt. Die fundiertesten Forschungen lieferte Dagmar Gausmann, der zufolge neben dem Siegerprojekt von Bernhard Hermkes ein weiteres Modell von Willy Kreuer Eingang in die tatsächlich vorgenommene Gestaltung fand.

Der Ernst-Reuter-Platz mit einer lichten Weite zwischen 180 und 230 Metern und einer ihn umgebenden Hochhausbebauung in lockerer Bauweise wird geprägt von einem Kreisverkehr mit gestalteter grüner Mittelinsel, in die zunächst noch die Gleise der Straßenbahn integriert waren, die bis 1967 über den Platz verkehrte. Er gilt neben dem Hansaviertel als eines der prägnantesten Beispiele des Städtebaus der Nachkriegsmoderne im damaligen West-Berlin, insbesondere des Postulats der "autogerechten Stadt", sowie als Gegenpol zum stärker geschlossenen Strausberger Platz in Ost-Berlin.

Die ursprünglich spitzwinkligen Anschlüsse der Otto-Suhr-Allee, Hardenbergstraße und Marchstraße wurden so verschwenkt, dass sie rechtwinklig in die Kreisbahn einliefen. Die Hertzallee (vormals: Kurfürsten-Allee) störte das Konzept und wurde durch das von 1955 bis 1959 als erstes Gebäude am neu entstandenen Platz errichtete Institut für Bergbau und Hüttenwesen der TU Berlin des TU-Professors Willy Kreuer abgeriegelt, ihr durch das TU-Gelände führender Abschnitt wurde bis zur Fasanenstraße entwidmet. Das TU-Hochhaus (Ernst-Reuter-Platz Nr. 1) zwang Hermkes, der mit Kreuer in Fehde lag, seine Planungen darauf abzustimmen. Alle weiteren Bauten entstanden bis in die 1970er Jahre hinein nach Hermkes' städtebaulichen Vorgaben und stehen seit den 1980er Jahren zusammen mit der Mittelinsel unter Denkmalschutz.

Weitere bedeutende Solitärbauten sind unter anderem das 1956/1957 errichtete Osram-Haus (Nr. 8) von Bernhard Hermkes, das Telefunken-Hochhaus (Nr. 7, 1958–1960, Technische Universität/Telekom) von Schwebes & Schoszberger, das IBM-Haus (Nr. 2, 1960–1962) von Rolf Gutbrod, das Pepper-Haus (Nr. 9/10, 1960–1963, Gravis-Flagshipstore und SRH Hochschule; Karl Heinz Pepper war Bauherr des Europa-Center) von Sobotka & Müller, das Gebäude der Architekturfakultät der TU (Straße des 17. Juni, Nr. 150–152, 1966–68) von Hermkes mit einem Anbau von Hans Scharoun (1970), das Bürohaus (Nr. 6, 1969–1974) von Bernhard Binder und schließlich das Raiffeisenhaus (Nr. 3–5, 1971–1974, seither Signal-Iduna-Direktion) von Risse und Geber. Die Anordnung folgte der Konzeption Hermkes, eine freie und nicht geschlossene Platzform zu entwickeln, deren Gebäudeanordnung insbesondere als Bewegung aus dem fahrenden Auto heraus erlebt werden kann.

Ein Denkmal des Bildhauers Bernhard Heiliger für Ernst Reuter, das heute vor dem Anbau des Architekturgebäudes der TU steht, entstand 1962–1963 mit dem Titel Die Flamme. Anlässlich des 50. Todestages von Ernst Reuter 2003 wurden in den Platz 16 Scheinwerfer eingelassen, die die Baumkronen in der Dunkelheit anleuchten. Zur Einweihung war unter anderem Edzard Reuter anwesend.

Brunnenanlage

Mit der Namensgebung des Platzes ließ das Bezirksamt in dessen Zentrum eine Springbrunnenanlage installieren, die bereits in den Architekturentwürfen von Hermkes enthalten war. Detailplanungen führte Werner Düttmann aus. Die Anlage besitzt zwei rechteckige Betonbecken, das westlich auf dem Platz gelegene ist mit 19 Meter Seitenlänge fast quadratisch, das östliche ist 30 Meter breit und 40 Meter lang.

In jedem Becken sprudeln mehr als 20 Wasserfontänen von ein bis zwei Meter Höhe. Sie kommen aus rotierenden Metallplatten, sodass die Wasserstrahlen sich tänzelnd umeinander drehen. Im größeren Becken steigt aus fünf Einzeldüsen das Wasser einer Fontänengruppe bis zu acht Meter hoch. Anfang der 1990er Jahre stellte das Bezirksamt das Wasser der Brunnen ab. Die Becken waren unsauber, die Teile der Pumpenanlage marode. Die gesamte Grünfläche wurde nicht mehr gepflegt – "kein Geld in der Kasse" lautete die lapidare Begründung. Die Inhaberin einer Pension in der Bleibtreustraße, Isolde Josipovici, wollte diesen Zustand nicht hinnehmen und schaffte es, Edzard Reuter zu kontaktieren. Dieser war in den 1990er Jahren Vorstandsmitglied bei der Daimler-Benz AG, gleichzeitig derjenige, der die Namensrechte seines Vaters für den Platz vergeben hatte. Reuter erreichte über die Drohung, die Namensrechte zu entziehen, beim seinerzeitigen Regierenden Bürgermeister von Berlin, Eberhard Diepgen, dass der damalige Bezirk Charlottenburg das Geld zur Sanierung der gesamten Platzanlage einschließlich des Brunnensystems erhielt. An den Sanierungskosten beteiligten sich zusätzlich die Berliner Wasserbetriebe. Die Pensionswirtin erreichte außerdem, dass die Wall AG seitdem die Betriebskosten der Fontänen übernimmt (Stand: 2014). Isolde Josipovici, die wegen sinkender Nachfrage ihre Herberge im Sommer 2014 schließen musste, bleibt den Anwohnern rund um den Ernst-Reuter-Platz damit als Brunnenretterin in Erinnerung.

Round the Bend Project Pages
The Lodges
roundthebendproject@gmail.com
This is us with our bikes fully loaded on day one in Cancun, Mexico.
Round the Bend Cocktail
1 Croatian - New Zealand - Australian designer/architect
1 South African - Canadian grants guru
A liberal pouring of Travel Passion
An equal pouring of Environmental Passion
A handful of Curiosity
A pinch of Magic, to garnish
Blend ingredients thoroughly, until married. Let simmer across North America, Southern Africa, Europe, the Pacific and Asia for 3 years. Strain onto 2 bicycles. Sprinkle with magic. Serve hot, in Central America.
Round the Bend project is Vinko & Colette Grgic, two adventurous dreamers from all corners of the world who are passionate about living sustainably on our beautiful planet whilst creating long-term prosperity for its many creative people.
It's hard to tell exactly where and how it all began. We've spent a lot of our lives so far being academics, activists and general worker bees. The #1 thing Vinko learnt from his 10 years of studying is that it was time to dislocate his right hand from the mouse, tear his eyes away from the computer screen and go explore the amazing things that are waiting round the bend. It fit in perfectly with Colette's desires to get away from an office job to frolic freely in the tropics of foreign lands doing development work.
But we have always been happiest outside surrounded by nature. We have always said that we could live in a remote jungle or deserted island (providing we have internet!). But we didn't realise how strong we both felt about it until we visited a community operated hide-away on an idyllic island in Fiji. We had a million ideas for improvements so that the whole community could be more sustainable and successful through the Safe Landing Resort. The idea simmered for a few months, and then we hit Jasmine Valley Eco-resort in Cambodia and found it impossible to leave. It made us think about our passion for meaningful travel and our career aspirations for starting a world-class eco-resort. So we traded in our cushy life with hot water and cold drinks for some bikes and equipment, and this website.
But where to find the right place? And how much damage would we do if we zipped across the globe looking for it? Fortunately we ran into Jesus and Sarah in Borneo. Tired, thirsty and sunburnt the couple had biked over 17,000km already through South and Central America, and South East Asia. And they were nowhere close to being finished with their travels. "We like biking" we said. It allows you to travel at a pace where you can really feel immersed in the typography, the sights, smells and sounds. You get to meet incredible people who don't necessarily speak English and you get to experience the real culture. Like good slow-cooked food. It just tastes better. We can craft our own route, find hidden treasures. No bus schedules, no pre-determined routes, no mass tourism locations. Less impact on the environment, less greenhouse gasses, less consume-and-carry-on tourism. Barefoot travel.
Round the Bend project satisfies our goals to travel as much of the world as we can and to build a career in sustainable eco-tourism as a means of community development.

The bakers Shenmue III unhappy that they did not get a part of content that they promised
magictr | July 11, 2019 | Techno | No Comments
Even before the release of Shenmue III has become synonymous with unrealistic expectations. Not only that, the game was repeatedly transferred, and the exclusivity to Epic Games Store, and the subsequent Saga over this news seriously undermined the confidence of the players. The cloud marketing failures is not dissipated, the backers, how much they donated, will not receive a portion of the content.
According to Baker , Antonio Miranda (Antonio Miranda) in the comments under the last post on the Kickstarter page of the game, he received an email from the developer confirming that those who helped to Fund the project, will not get a season pass for future DLC and additional content included in the Deluxe edition. All sponsors default will not get, but can be purchased separately.
Several retail stores offer for pre-ordering the game in-game items, including a new outfit and a training scroll, but these things also will not be available to investors with Kickstarter.
"Standard and Deluxe editions released in retail stores are not affiliated with a crowdfunding campaign, so they will not be available to backers. They can be purchased separately", – said the developer Ys Net user.
In addition, the letter says that the donators from Kickstarter and official website of the game will receive their own editions, each of which contains unique content that you cannot get in any other way.
The authors caused a negative reaction in the community Shenmue III, but it is worth noting that none of the goals for investors at the same Kickstarter was not the promised season pass content or for pre-order and Deluxe edition. Finally, out of 69 320 backers about 50 thousand donated 60 dollars, which in most cases gives them the right only to "naked" copy of Shenmue III.

Ιn these tests, we monitor the SX650-G's response in several scenarios. First, a transient load (10A at +12V, 5A at 5V, 5A at 3.3V, and 0.5A at 5VSB) is applied for 200ms as the PSU works at 20 percent load. In the second scenario, it's hit by the same transient load while operating at 50 percent load.
The SX650-G didn't do particularly well in these tests. Its 3.3V rail was definitely the weak link, since voltage dropped below 3.2V in every measurement. Moreover, with 20% load, the deviations were notably larger on the +12V rail because the PSU operated its primary switching FETs in PWM mode. At higher loads it uses frequency modulation mode instead.
In the next set of tests, we measure the SX650-G's response in simpler transient load scenarios—during its power-on phase.
For our first measurement, we turn the SX650-G off, dial in the maximum current the 5VSB rail can handle, and switch the PSU back on. In the second test, we dial the maximum load the +12V rail can handle and start the PSU while it is in standby mode. In the last test, while the PSU is completely switched off (we cut off the power or switch the PSU off), we dial the maximum load the +12V rail can handle before restoring power. The ATX specification states that recorded spikes on all rails should not exceed 10 percent of their nominal values (+10 percent for 12V is 13.2V, and 5.5V for 5V).

Yes, Words (or the lack of them) WILL Hurt You
I haven't blogged in over two months.
Guess I've been busy. Doing what, exactly who knows? But there's been a birthday (hello, 35), play readings and preparing for shows in New Jersey, New York and D.C. There's been a steady day job (money is always nice) and lots of dog-sitting in Astoria, Queens (nothing puts your life in check like scooping up steamy dog crap on a cold winter's day.) There have been dates, excessive drinking (mostly on the dates--how else are you supposed to make a boring person tolerable; an unattractive person less repulsive, a douche-bag seem like less of a douche--well, actually, I don't think all the booze in the world can cure that, right Mr. Trump?)
The thing is: all of this is good stuff, fun stuff, normal stuff. And yet, I actually feel guilty for not writing more. That's what writers do, in case you weren't aware. Sure, we always tell the best stories and come up with the best jokes and wear the skinniest jeans and rattiest sweaters, but we're also brooding, self-absorbed souls who believe that every breath should be devoted to the written word. And when we go to parties instead of finishing that chapter, or spend too much time naked skyping with HotCowBoy98 instead of starting that screenplay--we'll feel bad about it later.
I don't feel bad about telling you this, though. Because blogs are amazingly open (read: self-serving) nowadays, and I think it's important for people to know that I enjoy spending time with them (unless you force me to eat weird shit, like an avocado) regardless of how I might feel about myself afterward.

Thread: Huawei Reveals Custom Quad-core CPU & 3 New Phones at MWC: Ascend D Series
On Sunday at MWC, Huawei launched their three newest Android phones: The Ascend D Quad, Ascend D Quad XL and Ascend D1. The first two are running Huwaei's own custom quad-core chip, called the K3V2, which they claim is faster yet more energy efficient than the competition from NVIDIA and others. They claim it is the "world's fastest quad-core smartphone." Here's a breakdown of specs from their new flagship devices:
Huwaei Ascend D Quad & Huawei Ascend D Quad XL -
K3V2 quad-core 1.5GHz processor
4.5-inch 720P high definition touchscreen
8-megapixel rear-camera - 1080p full HD video
1.3-megapixel front-facing camera
(The Ascend D quad XL has the same specs as the Ascend D Quad above except it comes with a hefty 2,500 mAh battery.)
The Huwaei Ascend D1 is their mid-range/budget device, and although they didn't share much about it, we do know it comes with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a 1650mAh battery. Here are some launch details followed by the press release, "The Ascend D quad series will be available in China, Australia, Europe, Asia-Pacific, North and South America, and the Middle East in the second quarter of 2012, with the Ascend D1 to be made available in April."
Huawei Introduces the World's Fastest Smartphone: The Ascend D quad
With Huawei's proprietary quad-core chip and power management system
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 26, 2012 /CNW/ – Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today introduced the world's fastest quad-core smartphone, the Huawei Ascend D quad. Powered by the Huawei's K3V2 quad-core 1.2GHz/1.5GHz processor and boasting the most compact design among 4.5-inch smartphones, the Ascend D quad expands the realm of possibilities for consumers with an Android 4.0 operating system and Huawei's proprietary power management system which provides up to 30% in energy savings.
"We've listened to people's top demands from smartphones: speed, long-battery life, high quality visual and audio capabilities, and a compact, lightweight handset. The Huawei Ascend D quad exceeds these expectations," said Richard Yu, Chairman of Huawei Device. "In January at the Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas, we achieved a world record for the world's slimmest smartphone with the Huawei Ascend P1 S. We are proud to once again introduce a world-first at the 2012 Mobile World Congress with the Ascend D quad, the fastest smartphone."
The Ascend D quad is an entertainment dynamo with its 4.5-inch 720P high definition touchscreen, and the industry's most powerful 32-bit true color graphic processor. Its PPI 330 screen providing crystal clear display even under direct sunlight, is complemented by its Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound and Audience earSmart™ voice technology for an experience which excels across the senses. Its 8-megapixel BSI rear-facing camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and 1080p full HD video-capture and playback capabilities enables you to record your special moments in clearer, richer detail.
The Ascend D quad comes with an 1800mAh battery, which lasts for one to two days with normal usage. The smartphone's prowess is enhanced by Huawei Device's proprietary power management technology which provides a longer battery life of up to 30% compared to industry average by adjusting power consumption according to usage needs. It also ensures higher chipset performance and efficiency by maintaining a low chip temperature.
Measuring 64mm narrow and 8.9mm slim, the Ascend D quad is proof that good things do come in small packages. With an ultra-thin frame, the lightweight and compact smartphone's 4.5-inch touchscreen seems to vanish into the edge, creating an "infinity" feel and allowing an exceptionally narrow body.
In addition to innovative hardware design, the Ascend D quad also has outstanding software design. In addition to its Android 4.0 operating system, the Ascend D quad optimizes the user experience, ensuring greater ease of use.
As part of the Ascend D series, Huawei also introduced the Ascend D quad XL and the Ascend D1 smartphones. The Ascend D quad XL comes with a 2500mAh battery which provides two to three days of normal usage. With the same specifications as the Ascend D quad, the Ascend D quad XL measures 10.9 mm slim. The Ascend D1 runs on a 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU and has a 1670mAh battery.
The Ascend D quad series will be available in China, Australia, Europe, Asia-Pacific, North and South America, and the Middle East in Q2 2012. The Ascend D1 will be available in the above markets from April 2012.

To investigate the effect of carbon
You would get a mixture of gas and liquid in the syringe - not very satisfactory, liquid in the syringe might make it quite stiff in movement and difficult to measure an accurate volume of oxygen gas formed. In other words, an anomaly will not have that great an impact on the results.
This will demonstrate that an exhaled breath contains carbon dioxide CO2 when it turns a milky texture.
Different organisms can only survive within a certain range of pH levels. Investigating the effects of light, temperature and carbon dioxide levels using Canadian pondweed, Cabomba, algal balls or leaf discs from brassicas on the rate of photosynthesis.
Its essentially the same as method 2. Every so often you can inject some water at the T junction to keep on creating gas bubbles that can be observed. The trial showed that the method was appropriate and had no major flaws however it showed that the blowing must be done carefully to avoid the water H2O splashing out of the cup.
After experimenting, the lime water Ca OH 2 and water H2O was disposed of down the sink and all equipment was washed or thrown out. How do you measure the rate? Vacancies introduced by carbon did not, however, affect the density of voids significantly and we hence conclude that vacancies were largely consumed by the formation of oxygen complexes, as illustrated by the presence of a higher number density of as-grown oxygen defects in samples with a high carbon concentration.
Use of distilled water H2O also improves the accuracy of the results observed and recorded. This test is important in medicine as it can indicate problems with the lungs, heart, kidneys and metabolism.
To vary temperature you need to immerse the boiling tube in water baths of different carefully controlled and constant temperatures - ideally using a thermostated water bath.
You can calculate the relative intensity using the inverse square law - see last section on this page. This investigation can be considered reliable as the method was repeated three times. The oxygen bubbles are channelled into a capillary tube and collected in a syringe.
When investigating the influence of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis you must appreciate the inverse square law applied to light intensity for a fixed lamp power and light emission. You can use from 0. Research in this area could be directed in the future into using the fact that dissolved carbon dioxide CO2 in water H2O lowers the pH level for other purposes.
The rate of photosynthesis can be measured by measuring the rate of oxygen produced. BUT the light intensity is inversely proportional to the distance between the light source and the experiment tube squared. It can also be concluded that the investigation is valid because the findings relate directly to the hypothesis and the question posed by the assignment.
This information is also important for aquatic organisms.Full-Text Paper (PDF): Investigation of The Effect of Carbon Nanotubes & Ceramic Nanoparticles on Mechanical Properties of Epoxy-Nanocomposites. - An Experiment to Investigate the Effect of Light Intensity on the Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthetic takes place in the chloroplasts of green plant cells; it can produce simple sugars using carbon dioxide and water causing the release of sugar and oxygen.

Sticky Pod Car Camera Mounts » Urination Surveillance?
Hi Tom, I want to thank you for all your advice and time on the phone (we talked for over 20 minutes). As I explained, my neighbor kept urinating on my car handle and, needless to say, this perversion was disgusting and causing me great stress in my life. Since I live in a very nice neighborhood, I couldn't believe this was happening to me. Like I said, the boy next door was from an egyptian family that was very well off so he was very spoiled, but I still was not sure if he was the culprit. Since, I couldn't figure out what to do and I wasn't sure who was doing it, all I had were my suspicions, but nothing to backup my claims. When you suggested that I video tape my car from my 2nd story window with a Sticky Pod, that did the trick. I placed the camera high on top of the glass and zoomed the camera in on the driver side of my car and caught my neighbor's son red handed. (It was the egyptians next door.) You could see his face and the video was so crystal clear, the police were able to take action immediately. Since they had the video, it was easy for them to press charges (urinating in public) without me having to press charges. Now my neighbors were so completely embarrased, they apologized and they leave me alone. Since they know I can video tape them, they keep to themselves and they behave. You suggested the Original for it's endurance and ability to work with many cameras, what a great buy! I can't believe my problems are solved for only $89 bucks! I tell everyone about the Sticky Pod and the problem I had. Thank you again for inventing the Sticky Pod.
I just wanted to let you know that my neighbors are moving. Can't say I'm sorry to see them go. Thanks again for your product and all the great advice and service.

Home /Wildlife summit to consider global ban on saiga antelope trade
Health-and-Medical16th August 2019
Wildlife summit to consider global ban on saiga antelope trade
Saiga antelope now live only in Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia
Rostislav Mashin / Alamy
The US and Mongolia are backing a ban on the trade of a critically endangered antelope that has seen its numbers on the central Asian steppes devastated by hunting and disease.
The saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) once lived across Europe and Asia but is today confined to Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. In 2015 the species was hit by the outbreak of a bacterial infection that killed off half its population.
Now, at a major international conference on the trade in endangered plants and animals opening in Geneva on Saturday, governments will decide whether to upgrade protections for the iconic antelope. The plan to move the species to "appendix I", the highest level of protection under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), will likely face opposition from Kazakhstan.
"The saiga is a big one – their population is critically endangered by poaching and the die-offs," says Sue Lieberman of the US-based Wildlife Conservation Society. The antelope's numbers are slowly starting to rise in Kazakhstan, leading those with trade interests to say the species has recovered, she says.
Some conservationists, such as trade monitoring group TRAFFIC, oppose a ban, saying it would lead to "implementation challenges" as Saiga tatarica would have a different listing to another antelope, Saiga borealis.
But some form of action seems needed – two Kazakh rangers have been killed this year, mostly recently in July, by antelope poachers. The species is predominantly killed for its horn, which is used in traditional medicine in Singapore, China and other countries.
Lieberman is hopeful the proposal will pass to move the species from appendix II – which controls trade but doesn't prohibit it – to appendix I. If countries cannot reach a consensus then the decision, like all CITES resolutions, will be reached by majority vote. It is one of 53 new proposals on the table at the summit, which was moved from its planned venue in Sri Lanka after bombings earlier this year.
Among those plans are familiar competing proposals to weaken and strengthen protections for African elephants. Moves to give them the highest level of protection were defeated at the last CITES summit in 2016. At this year's meeting, countries including Zambia and Botswana are leading proposals for a downlisting. "There is a possibility Zambia might get its downlisting but with zero quota [for trading]," says Mary Rice of the Environmental Investigations Agency.
One eye-catching and certainly unusual proposal is Israel's suggestion of giving protections to the woolly mammoth. Restricting trade in an extinct animal might seem odd, but the intent is to limit laundering of elephant ivory through mammoth ivory, which is collected in Siberia from melting permafrost. Rice expects the proposal will fail to get enough backing, despite having merit.
Less controversial and more likely to pass are proposals to list a quartet of marine species in Appendix II, limiting their trade. Guitarfishes, wedgefishes, sea cucumbers and the until recently widespread mako shark are all likely to get stronger protections, Lieberman expects.
The conference, which comes in the wake of a major UN report that found humanity is threatening a million species, will also discuss the strategic future of CITES and how it meshes with international biodiversity goals to be thrashed out in Beijing, China, next year.

Recruiters can benefit from HR software solutions.
The health care industry is going through major changes in the United States, which means it will be increasingly important for providers to find employees who specialize in new areas. For example UnityPoint's medical network in Iowa is shifting from hiring medical specialists to care coordinators and nurse practitioners, according to U.S. News and World Report.
"The jobs in the future will be different from the jobs in the past," UnityPoint hospital executive William Leaver told the source.
Human resources departments know that it can be difficult to find qualified workers, but they can expedite the hiring process with HR software solutions. These programs can sift through resumes under specific filters, helping hiring managers only read applications that pertains to specific job openings.
Some positions that are in demand at this time are primary care providers and physician assistants. Part of the reason has to do with the industry's aging work population, but also a transition toward more health care technologies.
"Staffing has become more challenging and will continue to be challenging," Allegiance Health recruiter Mike Houttekier added.
Before health care reform programs like the Affordable Care Act and electronic health records mandate, many of these facilities already experienced shortages within many departments. Now that uninsured Americans will be able to register for health insurance exchange programs, many of these workers are anticipating packed waiting rooms.
Before many of these changes roll out in 2014, recruiters need to utilize HR software solutions to fill the gaps for this competitive market.

Sherlock Holmes: Crímenes y Castigos, titulado originalmente Crimes & Punishments, es un videojuego de investigación y aventura desarrollado por Frogwares y distribuido por Focus Home Interactive para Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 y Xbox One. Su lanzamiento fue el 30 de septiembre de 2014. El título forma parte de la franquicia de videojuegos Las Aventuras de Sherlock Holmes. El juego toma lugar en Londres y sus suburbios durante el siglo XIX, donde Sherlock Holmes y el Doctor Watson tendrán que resolver seis casos que incluyen asesinatos, robos, desapariciones, entre otros. El título está tomado de la novela rusa Crimen y castigo, escrita por Fiódor Dostoyevski y está basado en las historias originales de Arthur Conan Doyle.

Jugabilidad

La mayor parte del videojuego consiste en la exploración de los escenarios de crimen y la recolección de evidencias. Las conversaciones e interrogatorios con los personajes de cada caso será esencial, ya que permitirá observar la perspectiva de cada sospechoso. Antes de interactuar con alguien, Sherlock podrá hacer un análisis detallado sobre los demás, lo que permitirá al jugador escoger opciones adicionales durante la conversación para descubrir algo más sobre los sospechosos. También el jugador podrá analizar las pruebas y hacer deducciones para saber quien es culpable y quien no. A través de las deducciones, el jugador decidirá el rumbo de la investigación durante los descubrimientos que haga y llegar a la conclusión de un caso. Cada investigación que resuelva Sherlock no terminara de la misma forma.

Sherlock podrá hacer uso de su "sexto sentido" para descubrir indicios y usar su imaginación, a fin de hacer una recreación imaginaria de lo que pudo haber pasado en cada crimen o delito que investiga. Dependiendo de la forma en que el jugador resuelva los casos, habrá un resultado final de cada uno sobre la moralidad de Sherlock y podrá ver las estadísticas o porcentajes de la manera en que otros jugadores resolvieron el caso (similar al videojuego The Walking Dead).

Además el jugador contará con un cuaderno en el cual recopilará evidencias, perfiles psicológicos, detalles de las conversaciones, lista de objetivos y un mapa de Londres para viajar a los escenarios de investigación. Algunas pruebas requerirán una investigación más profunda, por lo cual Sherlock contará con un laboratorio y una biblioteca de archivos para indagar sobre las evidencias que descubra.

En algunas secuencias aparecerá el método QTE (Quick Time Event) para realizar una acción rápida o no, que será crucial para la resolución de cada caso y decidirá el rumbo del mismo.

Argumento

El videojuego cuenta con seis casos de diversos crímenes y delitos, así como robos y desapariciones.

Recepción

Sherlock Holmes: Crímenes y Castigo ha recibido críticas mixtas y positivas. Metacritic sostiene una puntuación actual de 74/100 para PlayStation 4 y 77/100 para PC. 3D Juegos le dio una puntuación de 7.5/10 diciendo que "el detective ideado por Sir Arthur Conan Doyle protagoniza una aventura bastante sugerente, que ofrece nada menos que seis casos distintos que requieren de resolución. Tiene altibajos, pero la emoción que proporciona el descubrimiento y la conclusión correcta de cada uno, te empuja a seguir jugando una y otra vez."

"LaPS4" destacó aspecto positivos en cuanto a los gráficos y la reinvención de Sherlock aunque también agregó comentarios negativos en cuanto a la jugabilidad del videojuego. El sitio le otorgó una puntuación de 75% mencionando que "Sherlock Holmes y John Watson se estrenan en las consolas de actual generación con altibajos técnicos, pero con la merecida calidad que estos reconocidos personajes poseen en el ámbito literario."

"ComboGamer" destacó diversos aspectos del juego, desde los gráficos hasta el modo de juego en general. El sitio le otorgó una calificación de 83% mencionando que "Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments tiene todo lo necesario para ser la mejor entrega de la franquicia de aventuras protagonizada por este detective y desarrollada por Frogwares, quienes demuestran además que son un estudio compuesto por personas de mucho talento y amor por lo que hacen, logrando un producto destacable en todos sus aspectos. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle estaría orgulloso."

Blizzard Extends World Of Warcraft Reputation Buff After Complications With New Ny'alotha System
May 20, 2020 Kenny Kimberly 0 comments 542
Credit: World of Warcraft
Blizzard has been keeping a steady stream of updates going towards World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, the current iteration of the titanic MMORPG. Recently, the developers implemented a few systems to make it easier to have multiple characters.
Once you hit maximum level in World of Warcraft, a grind kicks in to get everything you need to tackle the endgame content. It can take quite a while to get everything you need – an upgraded Ashjra'kamas cloak, the right essences, decent enough Azerite traits, and corruptions all go into your endgame grind.
This makes it so that having multiple characters at max level turns into an endless, rather monotonous grind. Hearing the feedback of the player base, Blizzard decided to address these issues.
Recently, we've discussed the new Echoes of Ny'alotha system, which helped make the Essences mechanic account-wide. Once players have unlocked the third rank of an essence on one character – generally a bit of a grind, depending on the essence – they can purchase it on another toon using the Echoes of Ny'alotha system.
Blizzard saw fit to extend the currency to be more than essences, though. Reworking the Echoes system, the developers brought in purchasable corruptions as well as a few other uses.

However, the rollout of this system seems to have been impacted a bit. Players expected to see them on the weekly reset (yesterday, to be specific) as this was when they were losing the Impressive Influence buff, a reputation-based buff that gave players double the reputation for factions.
Instead, the purchasable corruptions would appear in the store for some and not for others. Generally, they were unpurchasable, and the icons would be missing. There was a whole slew of issues, with players having a roulette of which they would find.
To deal with this, the developers are pushing the implementation of the system back a bit. However, they aren't leaving players empty-handed.
In compensation, Blizzard has decided to extend the Impressive Influence buff a few days. Rather than ending on Tuesday as was planning, it's been extended until Thursday. They haven't given an exact time, simply saying it would expire "Thursday morning PDT."
No players are upset with this extension, as much of the community was already calling to have it extended, much the same way as they did with the experience buff that has now been extended until the pre-release patch of the upcoming Shadowlands expansion. While Blizzard seems set on taking the reputation buff away regardless, the implementation of the new systems should help compensate adequately.
