Q: Algebra Difference in Roots Question.
Let D be the absolute value of the difference of the 2 roots of the equation 3x^2-10x-201=0. Find [D]. [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x.

I came across this question in a Math Competition and I am not sure how to solve it without using a calculator, since calculators are not allowed in the competition. Thanks.

A: Hint: If $a, b$ are the roots,
$$|a-b|^2 = (a-b)^2 = (a+b)^2 - 4 ab = \frac{100}9+4\times \frac{201}3 = \frac{2512}9$$

A: Hint $\ $ By $ $ Vieta, $\,\ x^2 -\frac{10}3 x - 67\, =\, (x-a)(x-b)\iff \ \color{#0a0}{a+b} = 10/3,\ \color{#c00}{ab} = -67$
$(a-b)^2$ is symmetric in $\,a,b\,$ so by FTSP it can be written as a polynomial in $\,\color{#0a0}{a+b},\ \color{#c00}{ab}$
Indeed, applying Gauss's Algorithm we find that $\, (a-b)^2 = (\color{#0a0}{a+b})^2 -4\color{#c00}{ab}\, =\, \dfrac{16\cdot 157}9$
Remark $\ $ The same algorithm works for polynomials in any number of variables.  It reduces problem like this to rote mechanical computation, i.e. no guesswork is required to solve such problems, only simple polynomial arithmetic. The algorithm yields a constructive interpretation of the FTSP = Fundamental Theorem of Symmetric Polynomials, that every symmetric polynomial has a unique representation as a polynomial in the elementary symmetric polynomials.
Gauss's algorithm may be viewed as a special case of Gröbner basis methods (which may be viewed both as a multivariate generalization of the (Euclidean) polynomial division algorithm, as well as a nonlinear genralization of Gaussian elimination for linear systems of equation). Gauss's algorithm is the earliest known use of such  a lexicographic order for term-rewriting (now mechanized by the Grobner basis algorithm and related methods).

A: $$3x^2-10x-201=0\\ \iff x^2-\frac{10}3x-67=0$$
Assuming the quadratic formula is available to use,
$$x=\frac{10}6\pm\frac{\sqrt{\frac{100}9+4\cdot 67}}2\\=\frac 53\pm\sqrt{\frac{25}9+67}$$
So the square root term is greater than $\sqrt{64}$ but less than $\sqrt{81}$ and is therefore between $8$ and $9$ in value, and therefore the difference between the roots can be either be $16$ or $17$, but not $18$ since that term is less than $9$.
The difference can be determined this way because both roots have the offset fraction $\dfrac53$ which is removed upon subtraction.
To determine whether the difference is greater than $17$, consider whether the square root term is greater than $8.5:$
$$(8+0.5)^2=64+2\cdot8\cdot0.5+0.25=67+5+0.25$$
And our original square root term contains
$$67+\frac{25}9=67+2+\frac79$$
Therefore, half of the difference between the roots is less than $8.5$ but greater than $8$ and therefore the total difference is between $16$ and $17$, leaving $16$ as the value of $[D]$.

Too Young for This: Facing Cancer Under 40
In July 2005, Jeff Carenza and his girlfriend were enjoying a getaway weekend in Miami when food poisoning landed them both in the hospital. Blood tests showed that Dr. Carenza, then 29, had iron-deficiency anemia.
"It's probably nothing," the doctor told him. "But have it checked when you get home."
This type of anemia can be caused by blood loss from the intestinal tract. So back in St. Louis, where Dr. Carenza was a radiology resident at Barnes Jewish Hospital, his doctor sent him to a gastroenterologist.
One possibility was that he had a growth in his colon. But the gastroenterologist was dismissive. "This is going to be a waste of my time," he said before performing a colonoscopy.
Half an hour later, Dr. Carenza received bad news.
"There's a large tumor in your transverse colon," the gastroenterologist said. "It's so big I couldn't even get my scope around it. It's probably been there for some time."
Dr. Carenza recalled, "My stomach and heart were on the floor."
The diagnosis, he added, "went against what we're trained to think in medical school" — that "cancer happens to older people."
Cancer is indeed less common in adolescents and young adults than in older people. But in some ways it is more alarming.
The rates of some cancers, including colorectal, thyroid and testicular, are rising in people ages 20 to 39, according to the American Cancer Society. And a report released in August by the National Cancer Institute and Lance Armstrong Foundation found that even as cancer survival rates continued to improve in adults of middle age and older, the survival rates for people ages 15 to 39 had not risen substantially in more than two decades.
Cancer is the fourth-leading killer in that age group, behind accidents, suicides and homicides. In 2006, there were approximately 55,200 new cases of cancer in Americans 15 to 39, and 9,300 cancer deaths in that same group, according to the American Cancer Society.
"Cancer in adolescents and young adults presents distinctive issues," said an author of that report, Dr. Karen Albritton, director of adolescent and young adult oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. "The gaps in our knowledge are huge."
Some experts say more information is needed before devoting extra resources to adolescents and young adults. Dr. Bruce A. Chabner, clinical director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, notes that overall survival rates of young adults are still better than those of older adults, reflecting the differences in tumor types and better tolerance of treatment in younger patients.
As of 2003, the last year for which statistics were available, the five-year survival rate was 78.5 percent for people ages 20 to 39, and 68 percent for those 40 to 69, according to the American Cancer Society.
But Dr. Albritton and others say research is needed to learn why some young adults are predisposed to cancer, why the rates of some cancers are rising in this age group and how young people may respond differently to treatment regimens — many of which have been tested mostly in older adults or in children.
Young people's tumors may have distinct genetic and biological features, these researchers say. And survivors face unique psychosocial issues — as they think about future fertility, finishing school or starting a career.
Dr. Carenza said that looking back, he should have paid more attention to warning signs. An avid runner, he was accustomed to jogging five or six miles several days a week but for months had been unable to do so. He had also grown noticeably pale.
Still, he recalled, even his mother brushed that aside, saying: "Well, he's a radiologist. He works in a dark room all day."
Dr. David Dietz, the colorectal surgeon at Barnes Jewish Hospital who treated Dr. Carenza, says cancer in younger patients is typically diagnosed at a later stage because neither they nor their doctors expect them to have it. Nor do they receive routine screening, as older people do.
Dr. Carenza has no family history of cancer, and tests after the tumor was found were negative for all known hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes. (He completed chemotherapy last March and has since been in remission, though he sees an oncologist every three months.) Still, genetic factors may be more likely to play a role when young people get the disease, Dr. Dietz said, adding, "That is something we would like to know more about."
Asha Mevlana of Los Angeles had a family history of cancer. She found a lump in her breast at 22, but her cancer was not diagnosed for more than two years.
Ms. Mevlana received a mammogram early on, but the results were inconclusive, as they sometimes are in younger women whose breast tissue is denser.
"My doctor said, 'Don't worry about that; you're way too young for breast cancer,' " she said. "Which is of course what I wanted to hear, so I let it go."
But as the lump grew and began to hurt, Ms. Mevlana's mother insisted she go to another doctor and get a biopsy, which confirmed that she had breast cancer.
"It changes your perspective on everything," she said. "You think: 'Wow, I could be dead next year. And there are so many things I haven't done.' "
Ms. Mevlana hoped to begin a career as an electric violinist. And in considering treatment options, one priority was to avoid drugs that cause neuropathy, a numbness and tingling in the hands or feet that is a side effect of some chemotherapy drugs.
The choices were "completely confusing," she said. Several doctors suggested different regimens but told her that most of them had not been well studied in younger women.
One doctor she consulted was Nadine Tung, director of the cancer risk and prevention program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. In an interview, Dr. Tung agreed that there had been few clinical trials to assess treatment regimens specifically in young adults.
"That has been a problem," she said, adding that some important research was "finally happening."
Unlike most young breast cancer patients, Ms. Mevlana had a tumor that was stimulated by estrogen. In such cases, Dr. Tung said, an important question is whether menstruation should be artificially blocked after chemotherapy, by giving the patient a shot or by removing her ovaries.
Ms. Mevlana said one doctor advised ovary removal. But she decided against it because she did not want to face the prospect of not having children.
"It was just too much to give that up," said Ms. Mevlana, who is now 31 and is a professional violinist.
Dr. Albritton of Dana-Farber says that adolescents and young adults often respond differently to treatments, and that there is a "disparity of attention" to them in the medical community.
There need to be "more clinical trials and more providers trained specifically for young adults," she said.
Researchers also say further work is needed to understand why the rates of certain cancers are rising among young adults.
Testicular cancer, for example, is most common among young men, and its rate is increasing. "We do not know why this is the case," said Dr. Tongzhang Zheng of the Yale School of Public Health, who recently received a $5.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to study potential genetic and environmental risk factors for the disease.
Nor is it clear why the rate of thyroid cancer, which largely affects young people, is rising, said Dr. R. Michael Tuttle, an endocrinologist and thyroid cancer expert at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
"The only thing we know of that causes thyroid cancer is radiation," Dr. Tuttle said, noting that people living downwind of Chernobyl had higher rates of this cancer. "But the spike in the U.S. is not being caused by radiation."
Dr. Archie Bleyer, a specialist in adolescent and young-adult cancer at the CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation, says there is a "uniqueness" to cancer in this age group that goes beyond the scientific and clinical issues. Not only do young patients face a distinctive array of cancers and therapies, but they are also confronted with personal challenges that are different from those affecting either older adults or children.
Young people are more likely to be uninsured or underinsured, he said — one reason their diseases tend to be diagnosed later. They are also more likely to feel stigmatized, since fewer of their peers have had experience with cancer.
And they face huge developmental challenges — entering society, joining the work force, contemplating marriage and starting a family — which can be overwhelming even without the burden of disease.
"One of the biggest struggles in doing anything medically is to overcome the psychosocial challenges," Dr. Bleyer said.
A growing number of advocacy and outreach groups have been founded for young adults — many of them by cancer survivors. The Colon Club, for instance, aims to raise awareness about colon cancer in young people through projects like creating a yearly calendar of survivors. The Young Survival Coalition focuses on awareness and advocacy regarding breast cancer in young adults. And the SAMFund provides financial support to young survivors making the transition to post-treatment life.
More than 50 organizations dedicated to cancer-related issues for young adults are cataloged on a new Web site, imtooyoungforthis.org, started by Steps for Living, a nonprofit communications, advocacy and support organization for young adults with cancer.
"When I was diagnosed with cancer, all I really wanted was to connect to other people my age," said the group's founder, Matthew Zachary, 32, of Brooklyn, who learned at 21 that he had pediatric brain cancer.
Lauren Terrazzano, who writes a weekly column for Newsday called "Life, With Cancer," said that for a younger person, "cancer can be the ultimate form of identity theft, if you let it."
Ms. Terrazzano was told she had advanced lung cancer in 2004 and has since undergone three operations, including an extrapleural pneumonectomy, in which her right lung and part of the lining of her heart were removed. She has also undergone extensive chemotherapy and radiation.
"One day you're a healthy 36-year-old with long hair, black mascara and low-rider jeans," she said. "You're going through the rhythms of life, going to work, going to dinner, hanging out with friends. And the next minute you're Cancer Girl.
"It's a hard thing to reconcile."

History of KfW IPEX-Bank
Since 1 January 2008 KfW IPEX-Bank has been operating as a legally independent limited company in charge of export and project finance within KfW Group. The business area, however, had already existed for 60 years and is closely associated with the foundation of KfW. This is why our look into the past begins in 1948, when Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau took up operations.
Milestones in the history of KfW IPEX-Bank
2008: Spin-off and legal independence
At the start of 2002, the Federal Government and the European Commission reach an agreement on restructuring Germany's promotional banks. For KfW this means the separation of promotional activities and commercial business. Its export and project finance activities are spun off as of 1 January 2008 into an independent, wholly-owned subsidiary: KfW IPEX-Bank.
2008: Expansion of foreign locations
The six representative offices (Bangkok, Istanbul, Moscow, Mumbai, New York, São Paulo) were complemented by an office in Johannesburg. The first and so far only branch of KfW IPEX-Bank was established in the financial centre London. Later representative offices were opened in Abu Dhabi (2009), Singapore (2011) and Mexico City (2014).
Since the 1980s: environmental and social standards
In 1984 KfW sets up the first programme of its own aimed at supporting environmental and climate protection in Germany. In 2000 it establishes its own strict guidelines for assessing the environmental and social sustainability of all projects it finances. In 2008, the year of its spin-off, KfW IPEX-Bank joins the Equator banks, which follow internationally recognised principles.
1980: Prospects for small export transactions
KfW began to draw up framework agreements for export finance to facilitate buyer loans even for smaller export contracts. Framework agreements were concluded both with credit institutions in developing countries and emerging economies, such as the Bank of China, and with important regular customers. Although large enterprises also used this instrument for smaller export transactions, KfW was able to attract and support new customers mainly among medium-sized plant engineering firms in Germany.
1976: Support for German and European high-tech industry
As part of sales financing for the Franco-German Airbus, KfW grants the first loans to airlines in Korea, India and South Africa in 1976. The first Airbus financing in the USA takes place in 1978, for Eastern Airlines. In 1989, new commitments for aircraft financing exceed DM 1 billion for the first time.
1961: Landmark year
Start of shipbuilding assistance programmes and ship financing
KfW's activities are not limited to granting federal funds. The bank considers that its primary function is to support German shipyards in their export activities by extending loans based on market funds on the most favourable terms possible, in this way conserving government subsidies.
Securing raw material supplies for the German steel industry
In 1961 KfW provides the first untied loan (ungebundener Finanzkredit – UFK) to secure raw material supplies for German industry. The funds support iron ore projects in Liberia that supply Germany's Ruhr region with raw materials.
1960: From supplier credit to buyer credit
In the early 1960s the supplier credit was still the norm. It was granted to German exporters until they had received the full purchase price from their foreign buyer. However, together with the federal ministries KfW soon designed a new financing instrument through which loans were extended directly to the foreign importer. The so-called buyer credit for foreign importers almost fully replaced the conventional supplier credit in the 1960s.
1958: Start of commercial project finance
In addition to politically motivated foreign loans, the instruments introduced in 1958 also included commercial project finance. In the 1950s Germany's balance of payments improved to such an extent that from 1958 onwards, the Deutsche Bundesbank and the German Federal Government considered a targeted level of German capital exports to be desirable. In the case of project finance, this satisfied a number of goals: the construction of the Indian steel plant Rourkela helped German exporters of plant components, power plants in Luxembourg and Tirol benefited from the energy supply and a Finnish copper mine helped ensure supplies of raw materials for German industry. This laid the groundwork for KfW's business area of E&P (export & project finance) and thus later also for the bank's spun-off subsidiary, KfW IPEX-Bank.
1950: Birth of export finance
Long-term export finance is not only one of KfW's most important and most successful activities, it is also one of its oldest business areas. It traces its beginnings to a meeting of KfW's Board of Supervisory Directors on 13 March 1950. One year later the 2nd amendment to the KfW Law officially included export finance in the bank's statutory mandate. The year 1951 ended with Germany's first positive balance of payments. Its rise to become an export nation began. It was also at this time that the close cooperation with customers such as M.A.N., Siemens and Krupp started and remains strong through today.
1948: Foundation of KfW – with export finance a key pillar from the start
On 18 November 1948 the German Law Concerning KfW comes into force – providing the basis for the activities of Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (known as 'reconstruction loan corporation' at the time) in post-war Germany. Long-term export finance has been part of KfW's statutory mandate since 1951.
In 2018 KfW IPEX-Bank celebrated its 10-year anniversary. Watch the anniversary trailer here:

Apple Bans Vaping-Related Apps Apple has removed 181 vaping-related apps from its App Store. The move comes amid growing concern over the health effects of e-cigarettes and the rise of vaping-related illnesses among young people.
Apple Bans Vaping-Related Apps
Apple Bans Vaping-Related Apps 2:16
< Apple Bans Vaping-Related Apps
November 16, 20198:02 AM ET
Apple has removed 181 apps related to vaping from its App Store. The company says it's concerned about growing evidence of the health risks of e-cigarettes, especially to young people. NPR's tech correspondent Shannon Bond has more.
SHANNON BOND, BYLINE: Vaping is on the rise, and so are smartphone apps connected to e-cigarettes. You can't buy actual vaping products on the App Store, but these apps allow people to interact with their e-cigarettes. They can make them hotter or change the color they light up. If someone loses a vape pen, an app can help or find it. And vapers can talk to each other on dedicated social networks.
MATTHEW MYERS: It's one of the ways that the industry has made this product uniquely appealing to teenagers and young adults.
BOND: Matthew Myers is president of the Campaign For Tobacco-Free Kids, which has been urging tech companies to ban videos, pictures and apps related to vaping.
MYERS: The availability of apps, as well as social media and online sales and YouTube, is one of the key contributors to the perception of young people that these products are safe, that they're cool and that they're something the young people should be doing.
BOND: For Myers and other public health advocates, Apple's ban is a big victory. In explaining its decision, the company pointed to mounting evidence that vaping is harmful to health. It said vaping is, quote, "a public health crisis and a youth epidemic," citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association. Apple says it's particularly concerned about its youngest customers. More than a quarter of U.S. high school students said they vaped in the past month, according to a recent government survey.
The vape pen company Pax makes an app that lets users lock their vape pens, control temperature and flavor. But it's no longer available in the App Store. Pax declined to comment on Apple's ban. For people who have already downloaded the banned apps to their iPhones, they'll still be able to use them and can move the apps to new devices. And that means young people will also still be able to use these smartphone apps if they already have them.

The restoration of the Catharijnesingel canal in Utrecht, by OKRA landschapsarchitecten, has been declared winner of the 2022 European Prize for Urban Public Space.
An international jury has awarded the 2022 European Prize for Urban Public Space to the restoration of the Catharijnesingel canal in Utrecht (Netherlands), a project by the Dutch studio OKRA landschapsarchitecten promoted by the City of Utrecht.
The jury considers that the reconstruction of the canal, as well as the recovery of a linear park running along its banks, is an exemplary intervention for the survival of our cities in this new climate era. The jury also highlighted the canal's role in building up urban resilience in the city: it is increasing Utrecht's capacity to deal with extreme heat, storms and flooding, and the recovery of water and plant life helps capture carbon and reduce pollution. The canal has become a desirable and playful place to be, for the city's residents, and it has also created new habitats for other living beings.
The jury has also selected 4 finalist works:
Flow, 2021, Brussels, Belgium, by Pool is Cool and Jozef Wouters
Hage, 2021, Lund, Sweden, by Brendeland & Kristoffersen architects and Price & Myers
Gardens of Sporta Pils, 2021, Riga, Latvia, by Artilērijas dārzi
Saint Sernin Square, 2020, Toulouse, France, by BAU (Joan Busquets, Pieter-Jan Versluys), MDP (Michel Desvigne Paysagiste), LEA and EGIS
The 11th edition of the European Prize for Urban Public Space, an initiative of the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB), has seen a record number of entrants and widespread representation: 326 projects were submitted, from 35 different countries. The works presented for this edition highlight the problems shared by distinct European cities, and some of the solutions that have been proposed to try to deal with them. This is particularly relevant in the present, post-pandemic context: urban projects must address climate change and aim to make cities more liveable places, something that has become a central issue.
The European Prize for Urban Public Space is a biennial, honorific award which, since 2000, has recognised the best projects in terms of the creation, transformation and recovery of public spaces in European cities.
International jury
President: Teresa Galí-Izard, landscape designer, engineer and professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich
Hans Ibelings, architectural critic and historian, and director of The Architecture Observer
Eleni Myrivili, doctor of anthropology and global chief heat officer for UN-Habitat
Andreas Ruby, director of the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel
Paloma Strelitz, architect, creative director of Patch and founder of Assemble, London
Špela Videčnik, architect, founding member of OFIS Architects, Ljubljana
The jury was supported by Lluís Ortega, architect, professor at UPC and the Prize's secretary.
The European Prize for Urban Public Space is organised with the collaboration of the following European institutions:

The recent National Train Show in Ft. Lauderdale showed how a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work allowed modules of different standards to be assembled into one working layout. Though each club built the modules independently, the connections were made possible due to bridges between the sections. These bridges allowed the track to conform to the different standards.
Though integration was possible, some trains could not navigate the length of the layouts. Why was this? The answer is in the history of Z scale and the enemy of long trains... curves.
Many of us designed our layouts and modules based not on a standard of radius curve measurements, grades and height clearances, but based on what our locomotives could traverse. For years, the standard locomotive for North American modelers was the F7 locomotive. This sprite mid-sized diesel could handle very tight radius curves. As modelers, we designed our layouts according to the limitation of the F7s (comparable to class 111 electrics or 218 diesels for European operators) without much thought of larger engines. This standard would reign for nearly fifteen years.
The change would come in the form of American Z Lines and their C44-9 release. The C44s were much longer and could not use the same tight radius curves that the F7s ran so well on. Suddenly, operators wishing to run the new generation of diesels found that their curves were too tight for the long three axle truck locomotives. Again this concern would arise for the Alco PA1 and E8 releases from AZL. Interesting enough, Märklin in 2000 released the model of the ICE 3 (88712). This was the first mini-club set released by Märklin with a minimum radius standard greater then the minimum standard radius offered in Märklin's sectional track line. The minimum radius standard is based on the 8510 track section with a 145mm (5 3/4") 45o curve. The ICE 3 requires a minimum of 195mm radius which equates to the 8520 curved track (7 11/16" for 45o curve).
In talking with members of the module clubs, the concerns of radius became a real issue. As more Z scale modules and layouts are built around the country, how can we categorize them so we can easily understand the limitations and specifications of the track work? This is an important question to ask, especially when it comes to module assembly were modules may be assembled for the first time, ever.
The solution came in the form of a simple classification system. This system can be used no matter which module specification or style of layout you are building. It is intended to maintain consistency across your layout.
All radius curves utilize flex track. Minimum radius for 180o is 18" though greater is preferred. Track should accommodate long locomotives such as C44s or large steam locomotives (Big Boy). Height clearances should accommodate tall cars such as double stack intermodals (roughly 1 1/4").
Minimum radius curves equate to Märklin's 8530 track, or 440mm (17") for 180o. Track should accommodate large locomotives such as C44s or PA1s. Large steam locomotives may have problems. Height clearances should accommodate tall cars such as double stack intermodals (roughly 1 1/4").
Minimum radius curves equate to Märklin's 8520 track, or 390mm (15 1/4") for 180o. Track should accommodate all mid sized locomotives such as F7s. Larger locomotives such as C44s or PA1s will likely have difficulties navigating. It is recommended that height clearances accommodate tall cars such as double stack intermodals (roughly 1 1/4").
Minimum radius curves equate to Märklin's 8510 track, or 290mm (11 1/3") for 180o. Track should accommodate mid sized locomotives such as F7s. Smaller locomotive such as 0-6-0s and switchers preferred. No minimum clearances.
These classifications are still open for revision and modification. Individual needs will ultimately dictate height clearances. Catenary operations are popular in Z scale for European modelers. It is likely, more catenary masts will be appearing on North American layouts due to releases such as FR's New Haven electric and a Marklin GG1.
When classifying your layout or module, the classification must be based on the minimum of your radius. For instance, if you use all flex track, 18" plus curves, but one curve is using the 17" Märklin 8530 track, the layout or module must be classified as a Class B.
For module clubs looking to combine modules from individuals and other clubs, this system gives a quick reference point for connectivity and operation potential. A complete module setup will have an overall classification based on the minimum class of a module or modules. Again, if all modules are Class B, but one is a Class C, the module setup in general must be classified as a Class C.
For planning, a use of such classifications will make setup and assembly much easier. By organizing and combining modules of the same class, operators know what equipment will work dependably on the setup. This is important in a show environment where audiences are waiting to watch trains run.
Grades were not discussed within the classifications. As a general rule, if long heavy trains are your goal for operations, grades on your mainline should be kept to a minimum if not eliminated all together.
For those currently in the planning and building stage of layouts or modules, I have one recommendation. Keep your future needs in mind when building your layout. By building the largest radius curves you can, you will allow for greater operation potential, even if you do not own or the locomotive has not been released yet. For instance, can you imagine a Big Boy in Z scale? It would be incredibly long. How many of us could even run such a locomotive on our layouts?
Planning ahead will ultimately save you time and frustration if that must have locomotive is just too much for your current layout. I can speak from experience as I have recently rebuilt a hidden tunnel section of my layout. The curves in the tunnel could accommodate my large fleet of mid sized locomotives (such as German class 110, 111 electrics) but large steamers and large modern diesels such as the C44s experienced difficulties. By adding a turnout in the mountain, a single line extends off the top of the loop and bypasses the tight radius curves. This has allowed for much better operation. Even then, my layout is still more of a Class C layout then a Class B. I am working to find ways to upgrade the layout so trains such as the ICE 3 can find a home. So what classification is your layout or module? There is no wrong answer. Again, build a layout for your needs, but keep in mind your future wishes.

ARDS: dramatic rises in arterial PO2 with the 'open lung' approach

In a pilot study the 'open lung' concept was applied 22 times in 13 patients of a university medical intensive care unit with ARDS (lung injury score 3.7 ± 0.7) due to sepsis of various origin (APACHE II score 27.4 ± 6.3). Starting with the actual respirator adjustment, peak inspiratory pressure was increased by 10 cmH2O every 3 min up to a mean pressure of 61 ± 9 cmH2O, depending on the hemodynamic state and blood gas results of the patient. PEEP was increased to 15 to 25 cmH2O. After achieving maximal elevation of arterial PaO2, the peak pressure was then lowered to 30, maximal 40, cmH2O and PEEP adjusted just above the alveolar occlusion pressure which guaranteed a tidal volume of about 6 ml/kg body weight. Under this regimen, FiO2 could be significantly lowered from 0.9 to 0.55 with marked rise in oxygenation index from 100 ± 36 to 177 ± 63 mmHg in responders (15 maneuvers in 11 patients). Plain chest X-ray and CT scan showed marked reduction of signs of pulmonary infiltration in a very short time.
The 'open lung' approach, though short-lived, might provoke pneumothorax and mediastinal emphysema. However, it enables rapid recruitment of previously atelectatic alveoli, thus resulting in better oxygenation on the one hand, and help avoid oxygen toxicity and protracted volu- and barotrauma on the other hand which are the usual sequel of prolonged ventilation using conventional mode in ARDS. Depending on our experience, the advantages of the concept are far more obvious than its possible risks. Continuous blood gas monitoring systems may help shorten the period of high inspiratory peak pressure. Multicentre studies are required to validate long-term results and possible complications.

Fit: Fits stock L959 once rear axle hex nuts are removed.
Pros: Chrome finish. Pre-glued. Foam inserts. Car rides on middle 2/3 of tire, not edges. Much better rear-end grip, car actually steers rather than skids out, rears stick better than fronts. Car no longer bottoms out. Top speed is faster, acceleration better due to improved grip. Jumps can be more interesting since fat rears lead to interesting takeoffs.
Cons: High-speed turns may be wider since rear end doesn't skid into turns any more and fronts tend to skid sooner, leading to understeer. Car flips more easily since rear tires grip rather than slide. Bigger diameter means motor works slightly harder and may not last as long. Car doesn't handle curb jumping as well: big soft rear tires tend to bounce on takeoff, flipping car end for end. Arguably not as much fun since it is extremely hard to slide the rear end around on command. Smooth tread gives poor grip on grass.
Verdict: Enormous improvement in rear-end grip. Good for on-pavement, bad for off-roading. Not necessarily too large for the car. Might do well on L979 truggy and definitely suitable for L202 brushless buggy. Hex spacers ineffective since wheels must be snug to inner end of axle to work.

The size of a whale. The remains of a sea monster found in the USA
American paleontologists have discovered in Nevada the remains of an ichthyosaur – a giant marine reptile.
The ichthyosaur found belonged to the species Cymbospondylus youngorum, its body length reached 17 meters, and the skull is 2 meters, according to Live Science.
"Imagine an animal that looks like a sea dragon: a streamlined body, quite long, with limbs turned into fins, and a long tail," the scientists say.
It is noted that paleontologists noticed the remains of an ichthyosaur back in 1998, but they managed to dig it up completely only in 2015. The results of the study of the remains were presented recently.

JM Rizzi, or better known as JMR, has adapted a unique mixture of neo-abstract expressionism with hints of contemporary pop to create a style all is own. Originally hailing from Brooklyn, New York, JMR has grown up with the influences of street art and the established art world constantly around him. Through his own individual, hybrid street style, he has dedicated himself to helping art fit into the outside world. As he looks to demonstrate the scale and motion set forth by early abstract expressionists, he reinterprets the ideas within his own personal adaptation.
JMR has shown with street art legends such as Blek Le Rat, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Swoon, Aiko, Haring, and Basquiat. And has been featured in various street art books and editorial publications such as The New York Times, The London Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Elle Japan.

CableLabs Issues DOCSIS 3.0 Spec
News Analysis Alan Breznick, Cable/Video Practice Leader, Light Reading 8/8/2006
Months later than originally expected, CableLabs has finally come out with its next-generation technical standard for cable broadband equipment.
In an announcement made Monday, CableLabs issued its DOCSIS 3.0 (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) standard, which cable operators around the world have been eagerly awaiting to hike their broadband speeds dramatically and increase their overall bandwidth. The public release of the new standard comes after industry engineers have spent the better part of two years drafting an upgrade to DOCSIS 2.0, the current gold standard for cable high-speed data service.
As expected, the new spec will enable cable operators to bond together four or more 6MHz channels to deliver much higher data speeds and much greater bandwidth to subscribers. Known as "channel-bonding" or "wideband," the approach will let cable systems offer shared downstream data rates of at least 160 Mbit/s and shared upstream speeds of at least 120 Mbit/s, more than 10 times faster than the highest data speeds now available to most cable modem and DSL subscribers.
Besides boosting broadband transmission rates, the DOCSIS 3.0 spec should make it far easier for the cable guys to offer such bandwidth-intensive services as digital video, high-definition TV (HDTV), digital video recording (DVR), and video-on-demand (VOD) through more efficient use of their current spectrum. In addition, the new standard should make it easier for MSOs to deliver such bandwidth-rich services as video conferencing to commercial customers.
Get the rest of the story at Cable Digital News.

re: CableLabs Issues DOCSIS 3.0 Spec Can anyone point me at some data that illustrates the number of users that typicaly share a DOCSIS port? How many homes does a single thread of coax touch? I'm sure it varies by company and region but I'd like some ball park figures.
optiplayer 12/5/2012 | 3:45:22 AM
re: CableLabs Issues DOCSIS 3.0 Spec My understanding is that in real deployments a "typical" number used to be 4000 homes passed per DOCSIS port (eg 6 MHz channel). More recently, as broadband take rates have increased, that number is likely 2000 and dropping. This means roughly 4-5 HFC nodes per DOCSIS channel (assuming a typical HFC node passes 400-500 homes).
The CMTS market is accelerating again as the MSOs have made bandwidth a central part of their marketing campaign against DSL and as they position against FiOS. To increase bandwidth per user they need to cut the user per channel which means that it is likely that the number of homes passed per DOCSIS channel will fall to the 400-500 range which is good for Cisco, ARRIS and Motorola the leading CMTS providers.
Not sure what you mean by a single coax thread. Generally speaking, fiber is run to an HFC node then coax from there with each leg of coax serving 100-200 homes.

Why do I write about Darwin
Question #7: A woman in Virginia wrote me a very polite and sincere letter saying that she enjoyed my book WORLD WITHOUT FISH but she did not understand why I kept referring to the dubious and unproven theoriees of Charles Darwin. This with some editing was my answer.
Dear Mrs. Howe,
You are correct in thinking that I do not have a lot of time for answering letters. But yours seemed so sincere and respectful, you do seem, as you say, "an all around nice lady," that I thought I would take a little time to try to answer your questions.
I am struck by your statement that "Darwinism is a theory, developed by a human being." Why should that be grounds for rejecting it? A theory developed by a human being is a perfect description of all religions and all science as well. It is not true that Darwin turned against his theories. I do not know where you heard such a thing. He spent his life providing the evidence to back up his theories, amassed a daunting body of evidence. At the time of his death he had been working on research on the evolution of plant species.
The claim that Darwin's theories are unproven is not exactly true either. Of course one can always invent absurdities to reject evidence. You can say for example that the devil placed the evidence to deceive us. There is no way of arguing with this kind of closed-minded rejection of facts. But science for more than one hundred years has amassed a huge body of evidence supporting Darwin's theories. With each break through in biology it becomes clearer. We can now trace life back even before the evidence of fossils and these earlier forms of life further illustrate the theory of evolution. Genetics has revealed a code to biological history that further demonstrates evolution. Of course, at what point evidence becomes proof can always be argued.
But why is this question of proof so important to religious people. There is considerably more evidence of Darwin's theories than of the supposition that God exists. in fact the supposition that God exists can neither be proven or disproven so unlike evolution it is not a scientific theory but a belief. And yet you do not seem to be bothered by the lack of proof there. Neither for that matter was Darwin. He also believed in God. There is in fact no conflict between Christian belief and Darwinism.
Evolution is not a belief but, as you say , a theory which is the foundation of scientific method first developed by Francis Bacon in the sixteenth century, a method that has saved lives and produced wonders, and, though it has also caused a few negative things such as nuclear weapons, has greatly enhanced our lives. The scientist starts with a theory and then applies it to test its veracity. That is what Darwin did as did Einstein, Newton and every other important scientist. It is how polio was cured, how cancer will be one day, has opened up space exploration, taught us about the earth and the stars, made global communication possible and allowed us to travel the world.
Yes, Mrs. Howe the great majority of educated people in the world do understand the importance of Darwin. If Americans didn't this country would be plunged into a terrible backwardness just as we would in a world run by people who believe the earth is flat. To reject Darwin is to reject science, which is to reject knowledge, which would plunge us into darkness. If America had a majority that rejected Darwin, which happily it does not, the other nations that were not steeped in ignorance would simply leave us behind.
The reason I included Darwin in my book is that to understand what is happening to the oceans, you must first understand how the natural order works and Darwin is the key to understanding it. All natural science is based on Darwin's theories, which have been shown to be accurate over and over again.
Now it is in the nature of science to overthrow. Einstein's theories were a rejection of Isaac Newton, though Newton was brilliant. Right now there are physicists challenging Einstein. Someday some genius may develop a theory that overrules Darwin. But it will be something new that hasn't been thought of before. The old idea that species were created one by one and are not interconnected has been irrevocably disproven like the theory that the sun and stars revolve around the earth. For now Darwin is the only explanation of the natural order that makes any sense and when it is used in interaction with nature it works. No one has come up with anything with which to replace it.
But beyond that I think that people and especially children, must be protected against religious leaders and politicians who would tell them what not to read. Read everything and decide for yourself.
Have you read Darwin? I hope so because you cannot make an informed decision on all of this unless you do
I do not want to tell you what to think, only that you should open yourself to a wide range of thought—not all of it religious and not all of it Christian, though Darwin was both-- and reach your own conclusions. Hopefully you can find bargain prices on these books too.

Hot Time on the Patch Course
Race favorite Starkey three-peats; Giles surprise women's champion
Starkey (left) at race start
When the race predictions came out, projecting two-time defending champion Cole Starkey to win the 2012 Patch Sprint in a time of two hours, eight minutes, Starkey was quick to reject the notion. "I'm good for a run at two hours," he claimed. When reminded that it was supposed to be warm on race day, he countered, "I'm used to training in hot weather at home (Oklahoma)!" As expected, Starkey did win the race, held Saturday in Willsboro, NY, his third overall victory. And as also projected, his time was considerably slower than two hours- even slower than the prediction- as he came across the finish atop Pok-O-Moonshine mountain in a time of 2:15:35, five seconds faster than 2011, but well off of his course record pace. "I'm not so sure the course record (2:02:33, set by Starkey in 2010) can be broken," the champion remarked following the race.
Indeed, with a longer course, and a second consecutive year of warm, humid temperatures, most racers time goals were hard to come by. Nonetheless, the competition was as intense as ever. Starkey took the men's title rather easily, but behind him, five others were within a few minutes of one another in the race for silver and bronze. "There were some guys I didn't recognize," said Starkey, "who hung with me right up through Rattlesnake." In the end, 1997 Patch Sprint champion Mark Corell (Calgary, Canada) was second; second year runner Kurt Schuler (Jackson, NH) third; and 17-year old race rookie Austin Huneck (Rexford, NY) fourth. Vermonter Jon Strazza, back at the event following a nine-year layoff, rounded out the top five.
Giles (left) became second fastest women ever
New Faces, Fast Legs
Little was known about 28-year old Courtney Giles (Richmond, VT) prior to this year's race, outside the fact that she's a standout rock climber. Obviously, she can handle high-end aerobic activity as well. Due to scheduling constraints, Giles needed to begin the race at the non-elite 9:00 time, and she may have benefited slightly from the cooler conditions. However, her eight minute margin of victory would likely have kept her in front, even at the later start time, and her finish time of 2:36:02 makes her the second fastest female in the event's history. "A lot of fun," raved the rookie champion, before heading out of town, well before the awards ceremony.
Duprey, Masters Champ
In a continuing impressive display of tenacity, 50-year old Deborah Nordyke (Hadley, NY) edged out pre-race favorite Patty Hurlburt (Keene Valley, NY) for second in the division. "At this point, my goal is simply to finish," said the four-time race winner and course record holder. Hurlburt, 38, running her first Patch Sprint, led for a good chunk of the race, but fell victim to both Nordyke's better familiarity with the course, as well as the steep vertical of the fourth and final mountain, Pok-O.
52-year old Mary Duprey (Rouses Pt., NY) bettered the three-hour mark for the second time in finishing fourth, while two-time champion Alexandra Disney (Plymouth, NH) was fifth.
Elsewhere in the racing division, Ken Herz (Chazy, NY) took the Clydesdale division in the battle of the Kens, besting three-time winner Ken Ryba, and local racer Wyatt Trzaskos (Willsboro, NY) became, at six, the youngest-ever Kindersprint champion. "I started a minute later then everyone and still won the race," boasted the new champ, while his parents were quick to point out, "We're still working on Wyatt's efforts to be a bit more humble!"
First-time racer Nora Wooten was just 12 seconds quicker than Eliza Konowitz, who finished in the Top-5 for the third year in a row. Katrin Schreiner and Luke Moffett were fourth and fifth, respectively.
2012 Racing Champions
Starkey: Men's Racing
Giles: Women's Racing
Herz: Clydesdale
Wyatt: Kindersprint
Soon They'll Be Leaving in the Dark
Nancy and Bob Andrews
2012 marked the first time in ten years that the Trekker division was not the largest. Forty non-competitive hikers left the start line as early as six in the morning; a total of 19 choosing to begin before the traditional 8:00am time. "I think it's great that people choose to start when they want," said race co-founder Greg Henderson. "They're placing the priority on the experience, rather than the finishing time."
While teenager Arianne Spaulding was the fastest trekker, the division also yielded some of the day's best stories. 77-year old Bob Andrews, even jogging parts of the course, extended his own record of being the oldest person to complete the Patch Sprint. Conversely, 10-year old Nora Canning was the youngest Patch Sprinter for the fourth year in a row.
And, for the ninth time, Chris Bell traveled from England to take part. "I will never miss this event," said Bell. "The Patch Sprint is all about the people who take part." As for this year's experience, Bell said, "I began the trek with Charlotte Bush. She had never done the Patch Sprint and, halfway up Bare, she was ready to stop. But we encouraged her, she warmed up to it and, by the second half of the race, she was having a great time. And, come the last mountain, she left us in the dust!"
Volunteering and Contributing
While the Patch Sprint web site lists historical results of racers, trekkers and Kindersprinters, there is no real place to quantify, or give proper respect to the volunteers who are necessary to make the annual event happen. "We had more volunteers this year than ever before (listed, right)," said race director Erin Canning. "Everyone came through for us, many of them with thankless tasks. We are so appreciative of their efforts, and the help we also received from racers and trekkers before and after the race."
What was once a small meeting of active friends has become not only Pok-O-MacCready Camp's largest annual reunion, but a gathering of an extended group of camp family, friends, and kind donors to the Adirondack Scholarship Foundation, and Outdoor Education Center.
Preliminary estimates have over nine thousand dollars being raised this year by Patch Sprint participants. "With that amount," said event coordinator Tim Singer, "several children, who otherwise couldn't afford to come to camp, can now attend, and enjoy the same mountains and trails that we get to experience each year at the Patch Sprint!'

Cultural Recommendations: The Ferrari Museum in Modena
Love cars? Love museums? Make your way to the Italian city of Modena—birthplace of the iconic prancing horse—to check out the institution's renovations and exhibition.
by Federico Fabbri (Italy)
The Ferrari Museum of Maranello and its partner establishment The Enzo Ferrari Museum of Modena, are some of the most visited museums in Italy, boasting over 530,000 visitors in 2017 alone. Founded in 1990, the museums tell the incredible story behind the Ferrari brand and the individuals that have made it what it is today. This year, architect Benedetto Camerana (of Camerana & Partners) has been tapped to commemorate the launch of two new thematic exhibitions with a remodeling of the space.
The first exhibition, themed 'Passion and Legend,' traces the history of Ferrari in three segments: Enzo Ferrari, How a Ferrari was and is made, Car styling, Racing and Formula 1. The cars themselves will, of course, be on full display, including the first Ferrari for road use (the 166 Inter of 1948) and the 1956 250 GT SWB Berlinetta. The models span from way-back-when to current times, including limited series like the F12tdf.
The 10 Cutest Curly Hair Trends for 2021
The second exhibition, entitled 'Driven by Enzo,' features Enzo Ferrari's hand-picked comfort, style and sporty favorites. Among these is the 1960 250 GT 2 + 2, the 456 GT, 400 GTi and 412. Such was his love that, even after taking on a chauffeur in 1969, Enzo insisted on remaining in the passenger seat.
The exhibition path is based on the idea that a museum should not be a mere container of finds, but a guided path along which visitors can experience a journey through time. The Ferrari journey is highlights both immense technique and emotion, much like the custom-built cars that were coming out of the Maranello factory every day. The new strategically positioned walls, lighting systems, and raised platforms truly enhance the enjoyment for each and every visitor.
The exhibitions will be on show at the Ferrari Museum in Modena until May 2019

Wisconsin State Assembly Passes Bill to Change Milwaukee County Mental Health System
Home | Blog | 2014 | March | Wisconsin State Assembly Passes Bill to Change Milwaukee County Mental Health System
As previously reported on this website, there is a history of significant problems within Milwaukee County's mental health care system. In 2012 and 2013, for example, seven patients died at the County's Mental Health Complex. Currently, the Milwaukee County Board oversees the mental health system. The Wisconsin legislature, however, has been considering a bill that would place the County's mental health system under the authority of a new independent mental health board, which would consist of a medical director, mental health professionals, clinicians, a legal expert, an expert in finance and administration, and other experts. The bill also requires the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to conduct an audit of Milwaukee County's Behavioral Health Division, the Mental Health Complex and related programs by December 1, 2014. The Wisconsin State Senate unanimously approved the bill on March 10, 2014.
On Friday, March 21, 2014, the State Assembly also approved the bill, by a vote of 89-1. One of the sponsors of the bill, State Representative Joe Sanfelippo (R-West Allis), extolled the benefits of the bill, stating that the bill "removes the politics from the delivery of mental health case and puts the focus where it belongs: on the people who are the patients." State Senator Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa) also spoke in favor, stating that the bill "will bring in the best and brightest experts in the field to evaluate mental health services and will ensure those services run smoothly and effectively going forward." The bill now heads to Governor Scott Walker for signature.
The Milwaukee civil right lawyers of Samster, Konkel & Safran, S.C. represent the families of Brandon Johnson and Andre Harvey, two of the seven patients who died at the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex in 2012 and 2013. We also represent a client who was severely beaten by a patient at the Complex in 2012. We thank the Senate and the Assembly for passing the bill, and we encourage the Governor to sign the bill.

- 'Camel man' looking for a travel mate - Farm Innovator Award: Necessity sows the seed for Rotacon RA40 ONE of the great stories in Henty's history is that of an invention that revolutionised the agriculture industry. And now the great nephews of Headlie Taylor, the man who came up with the harvester-header 100 years ago, are determined to have him recognised — cast in stone. They are using this year's Henty Machinery Field Days to garner support to honour Headlie, the self taught engineer who made such big a difference with the machine he first displayed at a forerunner field day to today's event, way back in September 1914. Colin Wood and Bruce Taylor are working with the first chairman of the modern field days, Milton Taylor, to raise money for the project. Bruce Taylor said it would cost $200,000 to achieve their plans. "Stage one of the project is a life-size sculpture that will sit on a marble fence about a metre high out the front of the museum in Henty," he said. "And then there is stage two, to set up a scholarship to help struggling inventors to parallel the likes of what Headlie Taylor did all those years ago." "His story has not had all that much publicity or recognition and it is important that it is recognised. "We hope the sculpture will be an iconic part of Henty and we hope, eventually, it will become what Henty is known for around the country. A replica of the first header is on display at the field days. Milton Taylor spearheaded its reconstruction through the Farmers and Settlers Association in 1969, using parts from six early headers. Colin Wood, who also is a former chairman of the field days said the invention had played an important role in the history of farming. "It made a huge difference and put dollars — or pounds in those days — into farmers' pockets," he said. "It had the ability to cut the heads off crops, take them in, separate them and there was virtually no loss of grain right from the beginning." The machine will go back into the Headlie Taylor header museum after the field days. People who want to donate to the heritage project can email taylor91@tpg.com.au.
