Q: ".SO" file for Tesseract OCR I need to use the ".so" file of Tesseract OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for my Android app. Can anyone explain me how to get the ".so" file for Tesseract OCR?
I tried to import the complete project which is not working.

A: The README that comes with tesseract-android-tools is going to be your best friend. I used Ubuntu 11.04 in VirtualBox. Within Ubuntu (I assume you'll want to transfer these to Windows later):
1) Download the Android NDK
2) SVN the tesseract-android-tools project. I used tesseract-android-tools-read-only/tesseract-android-tools/ as the $PROJECT directory, FYI.
3) Use ndk-build (detailed in README) to build tesseract. Doing so will create a libs folder within $PROJECT, and the three .so files you need.
I believe there's a way to do it with Cygwin but I'm not sure how, as I already had the VM ready to use.
From there (using instructions at http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-android-tools/updates/list):
4) tesseract tools is actually a library and has a eclipse .project so just import that project after building the so's with ndk and build it.
5) Set it as lib : http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-eclipse.html#SettingUpLibraryProject
6) Now in the same workspace create a new android project i.e. your app. Go to properties and reference the library from step 3 ( http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/projects-eclipse.html#ReferencingLibraryProject )
7) Build your app based on Android 2.2 (min) : http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-android-tools/issues/detail?id=5#c16
And it should work !
Note that you must be using Android 2.2 or higher. Hope that helps!!

A: @raju : I was having the same problem as yours. After searchig for solutions I found this: http://gaut.am/making-an-ocr-android-app-using-tesseract/
Dunno if your case is like mine!?! But I'm developing using Eclipse under Windows OS. The Blog (previous link) says that this can't be done under windows, so you must use Linux (ex: Ubuntu within a Virtual Machine for example). In addition, the blog explains in details the steps that should be done.
@jmiles
I've tried to do "ndk-build" under Ubuntu and then I transferred the result into Windows. I've built the tesseract and made it a "Library"; however, I'm always having errors when trying to recognize characters: These are some of the log messages: 04-04 14:32:28.569: E/2130968577(561): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Data path must contain subfolder tessdata! 04-04 14:32:28.569: E/2130968577(561): at com.googlecode.tesseract.android.TessBaseAPI.init(TessBaseAPI.java:167)
Do you @jmiles or @CommonsWare have any idea about the problem??

A: You would need to install the Android NDK, convert the Tesseract stuff into an NDK extension, and add it to your Java app via JNI. This is unlikely to be easy. You cannot just take an .so for, say, Linux and put it in your project.

A: You need to download the language data file for the tesseract and put it into the 'tessdata' folder and then initialize tesseract with it like
TessBaseAPI.init("your language file tessdata folder","language mostly 'eng'");

This will work now.

Atlas! Before 2017 ends, we already moved to our new home!
Three years ago after we migrated to United States, my husband and I talked about selling our home and buying a new one. As we enter 2017 – we knew we are to going to sell our home before the year ends and move to a place nearer to my hubby's work with a good school district, nicer neighborhood and closer to parks and recreations.
While preparing our home for sale we are also studying the market at the same time. Our goal is to sell our home fast at the right price!
Here's how we've done selling and buying a new home almost at the same time.
☑ Look at the Comps or Comparable Sales on our current neighborhood: similar homes, square footage, age of construction, similar HOA/amenities, etc.
☑ Gauge how strong is the current market by looking at the Real Estate Trends Monthly Report to see how many homes are for sale, how long they've been on the market and the median asking prices.
☑ Check Local pricing and HOA Fee of the home within the area of search.
☑ Check google maps to see where the house specifically located specially referencing to work, schools, Malls, groceries and parks, etc.
☑ Check School Reviews, and check if locations have Mello-Roos.
May 13, 2017 — Our Family Friend Agent visited our home and gave some advise about the improvement that needs to be done before listing our home on the market.
This depends on how far you are going to improve your home, we could've done small fixes and repairs to shorten our timeline but we already started installing the wood floors way even before we think of selling our home so we have no choice but to continue the project.
Selling our home took us about about 31 days (without counting the time we spent on hardwood floor project).
Sep.11 to 16, 2017 — 1 week of packing and moving stuff to Storage facility like excess furniture, appliances that are not in use, Craft Supplies, Books, Magazines, Extra Sets of dinnerware and Cookware, etc.
Sep. 24 to Oct 6, 2017 — Small Fixes, Repair and Repainting.
☑ Paint the wall with light beige color. I find painting more easy than cleaning lots of spots on the wall, besides most of our interior walls haven't painted since it's been built.
☑ Fix stuff that supposed to be working properly such as Garage Door Opener, light switches, fire alarms, carbon monoxide detector, etc.
☑ Change old Faucet Fixture (if necessary).
Oct. 7, 2017 – Clean.. Clean.. Clean..
Oct. 8, 2017 – Decoration and Staging: Most of the decor came from our agent like living room side tables, lamps, painting, mirror and extra pillows on master bedroom.
Oct. 9, 2017 — House Picture Taking done by Professional Photographer.
Oct. 11, 2017 — Our Home went to On-line market.
Oct. 14 & 15, 2017 — OPEN HOUSE!
Oct. 16, 2017 — Received an Offer! The one with an Offer Letter on a Maximum Price.
Oct. 19, 2017 — We accepted an Offer!
Oct. 21, 2017 (AM) — Met with our Loan Agent to check credit report and score and get pre-approval. Prior to meeting – we prepared latest Paycheck and Tax returns.
Oct. 21, 2017 (PM) — Went to Open House on the Location we want to live. We looked 4 Open Houses on the area we are targeting to move. Remember we are continuously studying the market since first quarter of 2017 so at this point it should be easy to know which home we are looking for at reasonable price.
Oct. 22, 2017 — Went back again to one of the house we looked together with our agent. How lucky we found a home with a feature that we like → One Story home, 4 bedrooms, close to school, work and parks plus bonus with a view of mountain at the back yard! We immediately wrote an Offer Letter and send it to our Agent to give her a go signal that we are seriously placing an Offer to the NEW HOME. We offered lower than the list price since the home is a little bit of fixer upper.
Oct. 23, 2017 — Home Inspection of our Current Home.
Oct. 25, 2017 — Seller of New Home Accepted our offer! With Counter Offer to increase the price and shorten the Escrow.
Oct. 26, 2017 — Termite Inspection of the Current home. No Termites found, therefore NO Tenting needed.
Oct. 26, 2017 — ESCROW: Timeline from Acceptance (10/25) to Closing (11/20).
Oct. 27, 2017 (Morning) — Current Home Appraisal.
Oct. 27, 2017 (Afternoon) — Paid Deposit for New home personally to our ESCROW Officer at the ESCROW Office.
Oct. 30, 2017 — Received Buyers Team Inspection Report with Repair Request. After all the improvements we've done, we still received 9 Items for repair, they are all minor.
Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, 2017 — Closed Repair Request Action Items. Will do 6 items easy repair requests and gave $350 credit to 3 items we are unable to do immediately such as – Installation of cap for water heater vent on the roof, failed dual pane window seals and sealing of cracks on stucco at the backyard.
Nov. 3, 2017 — Our Buyer removed Inspection Contingency!
Nov. 4, 2017 — Property Inspection at the New Home!
Nov. 5 to Nov. 11 — Identify Inspection Findings for Repair Request. Which items we are going to shoulder and which items are for Repair Request to the Seller. Roofer and Plumber Quotation Involved.
Nov. 7, 2017 — Appraisal of the new home looks good!
Nov. 8, 2017 — Buyer Removed All Contingencies! Woooohhooooo!
Nov. 12, 2017 — Sent Repair Request Summary to the Seller with $3,450 credit demand.
Nov. 16, 2017 — Buyer Signed Loan Documents. Should fund and close the next day!
Nov. 16, 2017 — We signed Loan Documents for the New Home!
Nov. 17, 2017 — Loan has funded and file has been released to record!
Nov. 18, 2017— Final Walk Through on the New Home! Nothing much check-items since the sellers just gave us the money credit for repairs. We're glad we are able to meet the Trust Owners and their agent in person. They said they were very grateful that a single family like us were able to buy their home.
Nov. 21, 2017 — Closing Day! Signed Close of ESCROW Document.
Nov. 25, 2017 — Moving Day! With 1st Choice Movers – It's good to have Movers specially moving all heavy stuff like furniture and boxes of items.
ESCROW – is a 3rd party company that protects all the relevant parties by making sure that all the funds and property change hands until all conditions in the agreement have been met. To make sure everything during the closing proceeds smoothly, including transfer of money and documents.
Comps (Comparable Sales) – Homes of similar size, condition, age, and style that recently sold in a certain neighborhood. Say for example a Condo Unit sold on the same building or a home sold on the same compound or block that has been built on the same Project plan.
Deposit — Once Escrow is opened – the buyers have 3 business days from offer acceptance to deliver the deposit to escrow. It is usually 1 to 2% of the home's purchase price and is refundable if the offer is not accepted.
Property Inspection – All Home Buyers hire professional home inspectors to take a closer look of the property before closing. That includes: Stains/Discoloration check, Roof and Chimney, Plumbing Problems, Electrical Problems, Safety Check, etc. etc.
Wood Destroying Inspection – Home owner to hire Termite Inspector to check for wood destroying insects, termites, carpenter bees, carpenter ants and powder post beetles. If found any evidence, the home owner should order tenting for home termite fumigation.
Real Estate Appraisal – An estimation of home's market value conducted by a licensed appraiser based on an on-site evaluation and comparable sales in the neighborhood. It is usually ordered in behalf of the home buyer's lender to protect the interests of the lender. If the Appraisal Report Evaluation is lower than the List Price, then the Seller and the Buyer have to agree whether to lower the price or the buyer to pay more than the appraisal (which means paying more than the house is worth) or kiss the home goodbye and take your down payment money back!
Removal of Inspection Contingency – One of the important stage in buying a new home! On this stage — the buyer negotiates with the seller all the findings that needs repair whether for the seller to shoulder the repair (depend on the time being) or have a $$$ credit instead be given to the buyer. It is the buyer's moment to choose whether to accept all the flaws of the home and accept what is being agreed with the seller or kiss the home goodbye and take your down payment money back!
Removal of Loan Contingency – Buyer's Loan Approved.
Removal of All Contingencies – Loan fully approved and all contingencies removed.

I have been writing a short piece in the Grantham Canal Society newsletter each month for the last three years – I thought it would be fun to share these little snippets on here! If you would like to subscribe to the digital newsletter which drops into your inbox once a month, or look at older issues, visit their website here:
January 2018 – Long tailed tits
A walk down the towpath in January is likely to be accompanied by the flutter of wings and warning calls as birds forage in the path-side hedgerows. One of the smallest species in the UK is likely to be among them, but far from being discreet they make their presence disproportionately known as they forage.
Long tailed tits, weighing just 9g, are highly social birds – they move through the landscape in flocks of closely related individuals, maintaining a shrill 'si-si-si' call-and-response as individuals keep in touch. Their aim, at this time of year especially, is to forage for enough high-value food to keep their tiny bodies warm enough to survive. They seek invertebrate prey by preference, capitalising on their low weight to pick food such as moth eggs as well as other invertebrates from the higher reaches of twigs and leaves which their heavier counterparts are unable to reach.
At night, the flock remains together, nestling down in a shrub or tree to form a dense ball with just their tails sticking out. As spring marches on, they will be building their tiny nests out of moss, lichen and spiders webs, lined with feathers. Interestingly, they are also social at nesting time – they will try to pair up and nest on their own but if unsuccessful, they will help at the nest of a close relative.
Listen out as you walk this winter – the distinctive call will alert you to the presence of these charming little 'flying teaspoons'!

Mammals along Grantham Canal
March 2, 2015 March 3, 2015 Grantham Ecology2 Comments
I had the opportunity to borrow a trailcam last year and I took the opportunity to see what wildlife could be recorded along the banks of Grantham Canal. The trailcam triggers when it detects movement and can record at night so placing it along animal trails allowed me to see what creatures used them.
Below are a few clips of some of the animals I recorded. These show how important the Grantham Canal is to a wide range of wildlife, not just in terms of the aquatic habitats it provides but the hedgerows, trees and shrubs which run alongside it – ten different mammal species were recorded over a few weeks of deployment and this is alongside at least five species of bat which I recorded last September – you can read more about the bats along Grantham Canal here.
Muntjac Deer
I recorded muntjac deer on a number of occasions. These are small deer, around the same size as a medium-sized dog. They are not a native species – they are originally from China but were introduced to the UK in Bedfordshire and have since spread to be present throughout the British Isles. Other deer such as roe deer are also present in the wider landscape around Grantham Canal but I did not record any on the trailcam.
Foxes make use of the habitats along the Grantham Canal with the trailcam recording both adult and juveniles. The traditional agricultural view of foxes is that they are vermin, but they are a native species of mammal in the UK, fulfilling quite an unique niche now that we have exterminated the wolves, lynx, wildcats and other larger predators which historically existed in the UK. In the first clip of the recordings, you can see a younger fox mark its territory as it walks past.
Badgers move out from their main setts each night and find food within the wider countryside. Foraging areas change throughout the year depending on the use of the land and the conditions. Sheltered linear features such as the canal banks provide an important connective route to allow them to reach these foraging areas. The habitats within the canal corridor are also likely to provide important foraging areas in their own right.
Hares differ from rabbits in that they do not use burrows – rather they rest in 'forms' which are low depressions in the land, often under the cover of long grasses or other vegetation. They forage and spend much of their active times in the arable fields which bound the canal through much of its course, but the trees and shrubs within the canal corridor provide an important place of rest and shelter during the daytime.
Rabbits shelter in burrows and many of these burrows can be found along the banks of the Grantham Canal. The slope of the banks mean that they can tunnel sideways rather than down to create their warrens, which requires less energy and is therefore more efficient. They graze upon low growing vegetation within the Canal Corridor but also use the wider arable fields which bound much of the canal.
I only recorded one instance of a stoat along the Grantham Canal. These are small predators, larger than a weasel but smaller than a ferret or a polecat. As you can see from the clip, they are very agile and feed on other small mammals such as rats and rabbits which are plentiful along the canal route.
Grey Squirrel
The grey squirrel is another invasive species which will be familiar to everybody, whether you live in the city or the countryside. In the autumn, the squirrels kept very busy gathering nuts and storing them away underground to be unearthed through the winter and spring when food was scarce. The horse chestnut, hazel and beech trees along the Canal would provide a good source of nuts to store away, whilst the glut of berries from the hawthorn, blackthorn and rose bushes would keep them in good health whilst they work.
The American Mink is another species which is not native and yet has found itself a home along the Grantham Canal, along with many other rivers and watercourses across the UK. I was very surprised to catch this one descending a tree just in front of the trailcam – not usual behaviour but something which they are known to do, especially when escaping a predator or perhaps when seeking food such as birds nests. The second piece of footage, showing the mink skulking away with its high arched back is more characteristic.
Other species recorded by the trailcam include rats, mice, herons and a variety of other small birds such as blue tits, great tits, chaffinches and blackbirds. Pheasants too often stroll along the banks and scratch for food morsels within the soil.

Arum Lily – strange and beautiful
August 11, 2014 Grantham EcologyLeave a comment
The Arum Lily is a fascinating plant which stands out from the crowd throughout its life. The latin name is Arum maculatum but it has many old English names, the two most common being Lords and Ladies and Cuckoo Pint.
Arum lily leaves unfurling from the bare earth where they grow from rhizomous root systems
In the spring, the leaves unfurl, growing and turning out of the bare ground before most other plants are beginning to burst their buds.
Arum lilies growing along the base of the A1 embankment at the end of the Grantham Canal
From the cluster of lush dark-green heart-shaped leaves arises the flower, a creamy white wrap-around cone with a peaked tip. Within this white cowl – actually a bract rather than a flower – dwells the spadix which is a purple tower of tiny inflorescences.
Arum Lily showing the purple spadix within the creamy white spathe
Looking down into the centre of the flower from above gives a unique view reminiscent of a plasma ball, the looping tendrils creeping like electricity made visible.
View down the spadix of an Arum Lily
The flowers die back and the leaves soon follow and you could all but forget about the lily through mid-summer. Then in late summer and early autumn, it asserts itself once more as the berries become apparent, growing from the spadix which is all that remains of the flower. These fruiting spikes are reminiscent more of a mushroom than a flower, appearing alone on a solitary leafless stalk where the berries soon shade from bright green to brighter red.

This is a fairly common species can be seen throughout the UK in hedgerow bases and woodlands. They are a plant of shady habits and often represent the only species where the darkness is densest under the closer canopies.

Wildflowers at Harlaxton Wharf, Grantham Canal
June 17, 2014 Grantham Ecology1 Comment
I stopped off at Harlaxton Wharf on a cycle along the canal and got somewhat waylaid identifying the flowers there – for a very small square of land, you will find many species of wildflower! These include many species planted intentionally, using Naturescape seeds and the assistance of the Princes Trust when the Wharf was restored. Others, including some of the more understated species but also some of the most impressive, are centuries-old inhabitants of the Grantham Canal bankside. I have run through a whirlwind description to help you identify the species which are there – I may have missed some so please let me know if you spot anything else whilst waiting for a Canal Boat ride from the Grantham Canal Society – more info about the trips which leave from the Wharf can be found here and details of the renovation works are here. There is also a gallery of photographs of the wildflowers, arranged by colour, to help you with identification.
Sign at Harlaxton Wharf
If you are visiting before July then the big flashy purple flowers from tall grey/green plumes of vegetation are corncockle (Agrostemma githago). Large herbaceous plants with purple flowers after this stage are the more likely to be the later flowering rosebay willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium), the plants of which can grow to 2m tall with their purple flowered trumpets topping a tower of lanceolate leaves. If the last description sounds right, bar the size, then the more diminutive broad-leaved willowherb (Epilobium montanum) might be your species – this grows no more than 50cm in height and is altogether more delicate than the big bruiser which is rosebay. The fluted flowers often shade from white to pink as they mature.
Greater knapweed (Centaurea scabiosa) is also growing here – the flowers are almost thistle-like but are plumed with tendrils at the petal tips. The colour is blue with a tinge of purple and the leaves are unlike thistles completely – robust fleshy and smooth green leaves with none of the spikes associated with thistles.
The large familiar yellow flowers growing from a rosette of toothed leaves (dandelion coming from the French: Dents de Lion) are your common or garden dandelion (Taraxacum officinale agg.). Watch out too for smaller, finer flowered versions – these are autumn hawkbit (Leontodon autumnalis) and they are not in flower until later in the year, as the name suggests.
Common nettle (Urtica dioica) should be known to most – if it stings you then you have your identification. The flowers on this are non-descript to say the least, fine tassles of tiny flowers in a sting-bead. If your 'nettle' has flowers then check the colour. There are a number of non-stinging 'dead' nettles and two of these are found at the Wharf. Luckily, their colour gives them away – white dead-nettle (Lamium album) is white whilst red dead nettle (Lamium purpureum) is red. There are other differences to tell the apart – the key characteristic is size and stature – if your deadnettle is approaching the structure of a stinging nettle then it is most probably white. Red is much less sturdy, often lower to the ground with finer leaves. There is a third option for a species with nettle-like leaves but no sting and this is hedge woundwort (Stachys sylvatica) – this has spikes of purple flowers which look almost orchid like. The best test here is scent- if there is a powerful unpleasant scent from the crushed leaf (certainly not like anything else I have ever smelt) then this is your species!
Taller flowers of red or white on long flower stalks with soft ovoid leaves are the red campion (Silene dioica) and the white campion (Silene latifolia). Again, there are other campions to choose from – the bladder campion can be seen out in the limestone swards of The Drift or the Viking Way – but only these two species are on the Wharf. Colour is key to ID!
Rounded, softly serrated leaves and a noticeably squared stem identify common figwort (Scrophularia nodosa). The flowers are deep red but tiny – at first glance you might think them buds waiting to burst into an exciting rich flower but closer inspection reveals them to be at the height of their glory.
Buttercups come in different shapes and sizes and two can be found here beside the canal – creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) is a very common species which is often found in damper places – a wet flush in a pasture field will often be stained yellow with the flowers. Other species are also common and a second can be found here – bulbous buttercup (Ranunculus bulbosus) differs in the leaf and structure but the key ID is in the flowers – the sepals (these are the green beneath the flower) are reflexed, that is they are peeled back like a banana and pressed against the stem below. Earlier in the year, you will see buttercup-like flowers but these could well be lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria). The flower petals of this species are more pointed than the very rounded petals of the buttercups and the leaves are round and shiny rather than serrated and dissected like those of the buttercups. For similarity of name rather than similarity of plant, I will also mention the greater celandine (Chelidonium majus). This is no relation to the lesser celandine but shares a name nonetheless. Greater celandine is in the cabbage family and is a much larger, more foliose plant. You get a lot of leaf for your flower!
Spiky plants next: there are three purple-flowered thistle species to be seen. The biggest, boldest thistle with spikes which look as though they have the ability to impale are the spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare) – think of the spikes as spears for an easy way to remember. There are too smaller species which look as though they could just give you a nasty prickling – here the key difference to tell them apart is the presence of spiky leaflets on the main stems – welted thistle (Carduus crispus) has them whilst creeping thistle (Cirsium arvensis) does not. To confuse matters ever so slightly further, there is another similar species you will see which is in fact a sowthistle rather than a thistle – the thistles all have purple flowers whereas the sow thistle has yellow flowers. The prickly sow thistle (Sonchus asper) has spikey leaves which wrap around their stem. A smooth version of this called, appropriately enough, a smooth sow thistle (Sonchus oleraceus) grows alongside it.
Of very different structure, but on the theme of spikes, are the white-flowered bramble (Rubus fruticosus agg.) which rambles along the ground and up through adjacent shrubs and trees. It should be familiar to anybody who has been blackberry-ing. Also instantly recognisable is the rose which grows wild here – the curved thorns and open white-pink flowers should be immediately recognisable to genus. This species is the dog rose (Rosa canina).
The tall, white-flowered umbellifers are another distinctive group – their flowers are in umbels which can be thought of as umbrellas for an easy visual clue. The leaves vary but are generally divided to a greater or lesser extent – lots of 'empty space' within the leaf footprint if you will. If the leaves are big and bold, divided into big lobes then you have hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium). Then there is the notorious ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria) – if you have it in your garden then you can pick it out of a line-up. The leaves appear directly from the ground very much like the leaves of the elder after which it is named. This will also send up dense heads of white flowers in a compact cluster. If it is neither of these, then next check is the stem – if there are purple dots of blotches then you have the highly toxic hemlock (Conium maculatum) – back away slowly and for goodness sake do not touch or eat. This leaves two other umbellifers which flower at the wharf and the simplest way to differentiate is to ask what time of year it is. Cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris) is a big, brash species which flowers early in the spring and is generally going over by the end of May. This is superseded by the smaller, finer, more delicate hedge parsley (Torilis japonica) which flowers for the remainder of the summer.
Two primrose species are to be found – a line of wild primrose (Primula vulgaris) grow along the bank with their pale yellow, individual flowers which are open and relatively large with wavy, indefinite edges. By contrast the cowslip (Primula veris) has groups of tighter, more enclosed flowers which hang together – a brighter yellow in colour with flecks of orange.
Ivy (Hedera helix) should need no introduction – a creeping plant with glossy green heart-shaped leaves. The flowers in the autumn are a great nectar source – clusters of small black sphered which look something like a tiny bunch of black grapes.
Some of the largest leaves on the Wharf belong to burdock (Arctium lappa) – these are greyish green above and whitish green below. The burdock flowers are fairly insipid but the seeds are a ball of hooks which fall apart to individual hooked seeds when you try to pick them apart when snagged on hair or clothes.
Another species which will stick to you if it has a chance is cleavers (Galium aparine). This has tiny four-petalled white flowers and grows in long strands, often creeping and climbing its way through other vegetation, with little whorls of leaves intermittently up its stem. There are a number of galium species in the UK but this is the most common and the only one which will stick to your jumper with ease!
There are a number of small plants with purple flowers and a more or less creeping characteristic – I will tell you about each in turn. Plants with little deep-purple trumpet-shaped flowers and ivy-shaped leaves – these will be the ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea). If the leaf description sounds right but the flowers do not, then perhaps the delicate trailing ivy-leaved toadflax (Cymbalaria muralis) is your species – these flowers have three lower petals and two upper with a yellow patch in the centre. If the purple flowers are star-shaped with fine green filigree foliage and red-wine stems then it is probably herb Robert (Geranium robertianum). Finally, if the plant has a more upright character with purple pea-like flowers and tendrils on the ends of the pinnate leaf stems, then this will be the common vetch (Vicia sativa).
A species which stands apart from the others is Lords and Ladies or Arum lily (Arum maculatum). The deep-green, often dark-flecked waxy leaves emerge straight from the ground in the early spring with the pale hooded flower rearing up soon afterwards with the long purple flower spike below. The action is all over by mid-May with the green berries appearing on a low spike, turning to red in the autumn.
Small yellow flowers on a substantial plant could be wood avens (Geum urbanum) – these leave a strange seed something like a strawberry after the flower has been fertilised and the flower lost. Nipplewort (Lapsana communis) is a taller species with a number of yellow flowers present in a very diffuse 'head'. The flowers on the former have five distinct petals whilst the latter is a composite flower – it is a member of the daisy family – and has a larger number of yellow florets which somewhat crowd into one. If your plant is much lower to the ground, with red-flecked yellow pea-like flowers and clover-like leaves, then it will be bird's foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus). A final yellow-flowered possibility is the low, fleshy groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) whose flowers look perpetually as though they are just about to emerge – a bud waiting to burst. It never will – the flower rivals figwort for the disappointment following from bud to flower.
Clover-like flowers and clover-like (three-leafed) leaves growing close to the ground or sometimes bubbling and swelling into a mound is the white clover (Trifolium repens). This is a creeping plant and will rarely be found with individual flowers and leaves. A discreet, compact little plant with a flower spike of tiny white flowers to only 10cm high and leaves like lines of diminishing green coins laid out along the stem will be wavy bitter-cress (Cardamine flexuosa). A creeping, clambering plant with as much green sepal as white petal on the flower will be common chickweed (Stellaria media). A much more upright plant will be garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) – rub the leaves and release the faint smell to confirm the ID but be warned that this does not confer the taste to food it is used in cooking, unlike wild garlic which is found up in Belvoir Woods and out east at Belton House amongst others.
Multiple blue flowers with small, soft, green leaves like the ears of some small creature? Water forget-me-not (Myosotis scorpioides). And no, despite the name, this will be growing on the banks of the Wharf rather than in the canal itself.
Two poppy species are flowering here; the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) has flowers which are an insipid but delicate shade of purple with grey-green foliage. The more familiar common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) can also be seen – these are the archetypal poppy with the deep red leaves and the black centre.
The old childhood adage said that where there are nettles to sting, there is dock to relieve. I never found this to be true but there are two species of dock to be seen. The big, bold, cumbersome species is broadleaf dock (Rumex obtusifolius). A smaller species with long, narrow pointed leaves and red veins is the wood dock (Rumex sanguineus).
Even amongst the gravel beside the water there are species which find a home. The tiny pearlwort (Sagina procumbens) holds tiny (really tiny) green pearl-like flowers aloft from fine-leaved foliage which ambles and spreads from the base. The whole plant is usually only a few centimetres in any direction. A bigger jumble of fennel-leaves with yellow and white flowers is the pineappleweed (Matricaria discoidea) – again a crush of
the leaves and a sniff should reveal the truth of the name.
I have left until last the most effusive and the most unimpressive flowers – I will deal with the latter first. The fat hen (Chenopodium album) flower is a mealy, beady insipid-red affair which you would struggle to even notice. The leaves always remind me a little of dinosaur footprints – this is a plant which will generally pass everybody by although it does make good eating! By contrast, the ox-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) – like the garden variety but blown up to gigantic proportions with crinkle-cut leaves and a big yellow centre is fairly unmistakable.

Reptiles in Grantham
May 13, 2013 July 31, 2017 Grantham Ecology1 Comment
One of the main aspects of my job as an ecologist is conducting reptile surveys – sadly I've never conducted one in or around Grantham but I would love to know what can be found in the local area. If you have seen any reptiles, I would love to know – as would ARG UK who have the Record Pool where you can record your sighting.
The standard way to survey for reptiles is to lay down sheets of refugia – often metal tins, carpet tiles or pieces of roofing felt are used – in suitable reptile habitat, then come back and check to see any reptiles which are either sheltering underneath them or using them to warm up as the sun heats the refugia. This works very well with some species but is less successful at detecting others, such as adders. An alternative way is to approach suitable basking spots, such as log piles, stones or nice south-facing ground early in the day (before it gets too warm and the reptiles move off to forage) and see if you can spot one before it spots you!
The one species I have encountered around Grantham is the grass snake, this is a non-venomous species which is often found associated with water where it hunts amphibians and small fish. One individual I have seen in the Grantham area was along Grantham Canal on the approach to Denton Reservoir and most recently another along a footpath which passes through Croxton Park but I would not be surprised if it were also present within the town of Grantham itself. It is quite an adaptable species and can often be found in gardens, especially if you have a pond. If you do see one, you have no reason to fear it although its main defence mechanism is to secrete an awful smelling substance which you will be able to smell on your hands for a good while after so please don't touch! They also do a rather disturbing (and in my opinion overacted) job of playing dead, only uncoiling and moving away when they are sure the danger has passed.
The most characteristic feature of a grass snake is the yellow patches on its neck. It could be confused with the adder, but lacks the zig-zag pattern on the back as well as the red eyes. The only other species you may encounter which looks similar is the slow worm but this is a smaller creature (actually a legless lizard rather than a snake) which is a brown/gold colour. This page has some great pointers to help you identify a grass snake.
Common lizard
The common lizard is another species which may occur in the Grantham area although I do not know of any confirmed sightings since 1979. This is the only lizard you are likely to encounter in this part of the country and is therefore difficult to mistake for anything else! They are small and often shy creatures whose presence is most often only registered as a rustle in the undergrowth as they scurry out of sight. They are quite a common species in some parts of the country and can certainly be found in north Nottinghamshire around the Sherwood Forest area.
Slow worm
The slow worms is actually a legless lizard – this website on Rushcliffe Wildlife suggests they are present in small colonies only a few miles to the north of Grantham. In some parts of the country they are very common with strongholds in the west country where they are regularly encountered in gardens, most often when sheltering under rocks or logs, and are a welcome addition to the pest-control brigade, feeding on small invertebrate prey including small slugs.
The final species which could possibly be encountered in the vicinity of Grantham is the adder – our only poisonous snake. These have been recorded historically but not for almost 40 years now – the last record relates to Salter's Ford Valley from 1979 according to the data search in this document which I turned up through a quick google search. The habitat typical of adders includes open heathland and moorland as well as rough countryside associated with forest edges. Due to the intensity of agriculture around Grantham, these populations are likely to be isolated and decreases in the availability of habitat in the last 40 years may well have resulted in the population dying out. There is a possibility that they may persist in some of the more isolated locations out to the south of the town towards Stamford.
They will bite if harassed (or trodden on) so do take care if you see anything which you suspect may be an adder. However they will only do so under provocation and in self defense – they will not attack people without good reason! Reports of adders along canals and waterways such as Grantham Canal are almost always a mid-identification of a harmless grass snake which has a great affinity for water where it will swim to hunt. More details on identification can be found here.
The other native species – smooth snake and sand lizard – are very specific in their habitat requirements and would not be found in or around Grantham.
I hope this quick guide is useful and don't forget to record any sightings of reptiles or amphibians in the Grantham area on the Record Pool.

South of Heaven is the fourth studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer. Released on July 5, 1988, the album was the band's second collaboration with record producer Rick Rubin, whose production skills on Slayer's previous album Reign in Blood had helped the band's sound evolve.
South of Heaven was Slayer's second album to enter the Billboard 200 and its last to be released by Def Jam Recordings, although the album became an American Recordings album after Rubin ended his partnership with Russell Simmons. It was one of only two Def Jam titles to be distributed by Geffen Records through Warner Bros. Records because of original distributor Columbia Records' refusal to release work by the band. The release peaked at number 57 and in 1992 was awarded a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America.
In order to offset the pace of the group's previous album, Slayer deliberately slowed down the album's tempo. In contrast to their previous albums, the band utilized undistorted guitars and toned-down vocals. While some critics praised this musical change, others—more accustomed to the style of earlier releases—were disappointed. The songs "Mandatory Suicide" and the title track, however, have become permanent features of the band's live setlist.

#1. American Christian Myth: Israel is "a Jewish State."
The truth: No, Israel is not a Jewish state. The demographics reveal a different reality In fact, like many modern nations, including America, Israel is a "homeland" for many races and religions, including Jews and others as well. Israel's religions include Christian, Muslim, Bahia and many other faiths.
#2. American Christian Myth: God gives Palestine to the Jews and to the Jews alone.
#3. American Christian Myth: God will automatically put down any person or any nation that opposes Israel's injustices.
The "truth" according to a biblical view is somewhat more complicated: God hates sins, no matter what nation commits them: Proverbs 6:16-19 "There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, read more.A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers."
#5. American Christian Myth: Christians and Jews worship an identical God, while Muslims worship a different God.
The truth: (1) Jews themselves do not accept a Trinity or threefold Godhead. (2) Jews and Muslims alike accept that there is only one God and that he is undivided: He can never be a man or come in the form of a man. (3) All three claim to be Abrahamic faiths, but Jews and Muslims are more alike in their theological notion of the nature of God than, say, Christians compared to Jews.
#6. American Christian Myth: God loves Jews but plans to exterminate Muslims as idolaters: .
#7. American Christian Myth: Israel is a great nation primarily because of God's blessing, while Palestinians are poor because they are lazy and indolent. .
The reality: In today's dollars, the US aid to Israel totals $234 billion since 1948. Needless to say, if a similar amount had been donated to Palestinians or any Mideast nation, the political economic equation in the region would look far different today.

One important step for Thailand to become the fashion centre of ASEAN is to build up a cooperation network on an international level that will help boost the local fashion industry and human resources.
The Thai Garment Manufacturers Association (TGMA), as member of the Asia Fashion Federation (AFF), will host the AFF Conference 2008 in conjunction with BIFF&BIL 2008, with the support of the Department of Export Promotion.

Basic Attention Token Price Prediction 2022 – 2030
June 2, 2022 June 9, 2022 | Price Predictions | 10 minutes of reading
The relentless increase in solutions provided by the crypto industry seemed to have no end-point. More so, more blockchain-based projects have not ceased infiltrating other sectors and pouring their wealth of solutions into them. This has been the case with BAT for some time, and in this Basic Attention Token price prediction, we will find out why the cryptocurrency is tipped as another potentially good investment.
Spending ridiculous amounts on advertising without exciting results has plagued many publishers. It is the same case with content creators who sometimes find it hard to reach their target audience, but BAT solves this in conjunction with the Brave web browser. With Basic Attention Token, users can earn rewards, get incredible ROI on Brave Ads, and access a better crypto economy.
Today, Brave wallet supports DeFi and NFTs, with works in place to integrate search engines and e-Commerce. With over 10.6 million wallets and 3.7 million on-chain transactions, BAT seems to be ready for another run of disrupting the crypto market.
Will playing in digital advertising further help adoption in the crypto world? Find out more in this Basic Attention Token price prediction.

What Will BAT Price Be in 2025?
Is BAT a Good Investment in 2022?
How Many BAT Tokens are In Circulating Supply?
In this Basic Attention Token expert price prediction, we will look at the opinion of crypto YouTube expert BitBoy Crypto.
The crypto specialist mentioned that the maximum security and privacy provided by the Brave browser has been vital to its growth. He also says that these features and more will most likely contribute to the explosive price projections for the future.
In addition, the fact that publishers only pay for user attention with the Brave browser makes it a better option over other online advertising platforms. BitBoy Crypto believes that the coin has excellent potential to reach $3 in the coming years.
Now that we have the thoughts of a crypto expert let's look at the price predictions from a technical analysis angle.
We would not be writing these predictions if technical analysis wasn't a significant deciding factor in cryptocurrency future prices. Hence, we suggest that you look through this Basic Attention Token price prediction for chart-based experts' analysis of the coin.
According to Wallet Investor, BAT still has a budding possibility of crossing $1 in 2022. The Basic Attention Token price prediction for 2022 is pegged at $1.11 as the maximum price. Also, BAT could be within the $0.90 range as the average trading price. By January 2023, the BAT coin price could be $0.62 at minimum value.
Still, in 2023 predictions, BAT could hit $2 at the maximum level. However, Wallet Investor places the exact prediction at $1.50. The average price is projected to be around $1.28 and $1.75. Technical analysis experts expect BAT to continue trading at about $1.50 by 2024, with its minimum price placed at exactly $1 in the same period.
Based on Digital Coin Price predictions, BAT could reach an average price of $1.11 in 2024. At the maximum price, it could hit $1.37. The same platform predicts BAT's minimum price to be around $1.32 in 2025, with a maximum price of $1.49. On the other hand, Price Prediction forecast is way higher. In 2024, the average price could reach $3.70, while the maximum price of BAT could hit $4.20.
In 2030, you would expect the Basic Attention Token price to be two figures. Technical results also reveal that this estimate could be possible. It would be best if you also did your own analysis or compared the predictions of these two reputable analysis platforms.
Digital Coin Price predicts that BAT will be around $3.71 at the maximum price in 2030. Price Prediction, however, believes the coin price will go way above that level, placing their prediction at $23.13 as the minimum price.
Note that this Basic Attention Token forecast can be subject to change. We do not expect you to consider the price predictions as irreversible future happenings. Carry out due diligence by engaging in your research.
Over the last four years, the Basic Attention Token ecosystem has witnessed tremendous growth. From having less than a thousand wallets to growing to over 7 million user wallets, BAT has repeatedly shown why it is a force to reckon with in the crypto market.
In July 2017, the average trading price of BAT was $0.09. In December 2017, BAT's price reached its highest price of $0.35, ending the year on an excellent note. The beginning of 2018 wasn't any less in terms of performance. The BAT coin price surpassed expectations within seven days of the year and went as high as $0.75. However, it took a sharp dip to $0.20 in April of the same year. It also failed to reach its highest price again for a long while.
Fortunately, things turned out for the better in 2021. By the end of February, BAT was back above $0.60. At this point, it followed a non-stop bullish trend to $1.47 in April. However, it didn't hold this price for long as it dipped to $1.03 in the same month. The coin found its strength back within a short period, riding to $1.41. In July, it went down to $0.52 before ending the year firmly at $1.25.
Not much has happened with the BAT price in 2022 since starting the year around the same price it ended the previous one. While it went as low as $1.01 in January, the price movement seems to be on its way to another peak.
It is unusual to find a cryptocurrency project that provides digital advertising solutions. However, Basic Attention Token defied all odds and built a loyal user army by disrupting the ecosystem.
You should not find it surprising that two experienced professionals in digital advertising founded BAT. Brendan Eich, the founder of the popular Mozilla Firefox browser, and Brian Bondy, a software engineer, combined their efforts to develop the Brave company.
Brave Software is the parent company of the Brave browser and Basic Attention Token. Interestingly, they work hand in hand. The founders developed Basic Attention Token to improve the cost-effectiveness of digital advertising. The Brave web browser also supports this mission. The Brave browser provides privacy-centred surfing of the internet, which is a feature millions of people want.
So, Basic Attention Token helps drive this goal by using blockchain technology to get more people into the ecosystem. Hence, Brave Ads has become more efficient than traditional advertising. Similarly, publishers and content creators can get better ROI as they only pay when an Ad grabs a user's attention.
Basic Attention Token has expanded its network as it has amassed users across several platforms. Hundreds of thousands of content creators across Youtube, Twitter, and Twitch have enjoyed BAT's solutions. It would also interest you to know that BAT is active in over 187 countries with over 1.4 million content creators and advertisers. These landmarks would have been impossible without the exceptional efficiency of the BAT cryptocurrency. Let's find out how the coin helps the BAT community.
The BAT token is the native cryptocurrency of the Basic Attention Token network. We should also let you know that the coin also serves as the official cryptocurrency of the Brave browser. It is an essential part of the Brave online advertising platform.
Besides acting as the exchange currency, and processing on-chain transactions, the BAT cryptocurrency is also responsible for users with random token grants. In terms of real-world usage, the BAT coin also contributes its quota in helping publishers and advertisers reach their target audience.
At the time of this writing (April 20, 2022), BAT's current price stands at $0.76. It should also interest you to know that the coin has an undiluted market cap of $.1.14 billion at this price and a circulating supply of 1.5 billion BAT tokens. These BAT tokens in circulation also represent its maximum supply.
You can buy Basic Attention Token on several crypto exchanges or brokerage platforms. We would go with the eToro platform if it were up to us. Although you can buy BAT tokens on Coinbase Pro and Binance, eToro offers a unique trading method for crypto majors. You should also know that eToro provides a beginner-friendly interface for all users. So, if you are a crypto newbie worried about trading complexities, check out the official eToro website.
After reaching a milestone of 50 million active users in January 2022 with the Brave browser, the BAT community looks to be on another wave to adopt more users. This time, it is partnering with Orion bridge, the powerful, decentralised cross-chain bridge.
Read on if you wonder how this partnership will improve the Basic Attention Token ecosystem or BAT price projections. According to the details, partnering with the Orion bridge peer-to-peer system will enable BAT to trade across several blockchains. In this case, BAT will now be able to pair with or bridge crypto assets under the Binance Smart Chain and the Ethereum network. This will mean more users for the Basic Attention Token network. At the same time, it could lead to a potential price rise for the BAT coin.
Do you have questions you have failed to answer concerning BAT? You no longer need to be bothered. We have gathered some of the most popular questions here and given precise answers. Help yourself by carefully going through them.
Security is an essential aspect of any cryptocurrency. Even though blockchain technology provides solid security measures, some breaches happen a few times. However, in BAT's case, the network's security is top-notch. The BAT is an ERC-20, strongly built on the Ethereum network. Like Ethereum, Basic Attention Token uses the Proof-of-Work (PoW) in validating transactions. This process ensures that BAT transactions are handled successfully without any irregularity.
Since launch, users have been earning free Basic Attention Tokens by watching ads on the Brave browser. You can also earn the blockchain-revolutionary token as a content creator who uses the browser or get a commission for referrals.
$100 seems like a long way to go for the BAT price. However, you know that nothing is impossible in the crypto market. The truth is we can't tell you for sure that BAT will reach $100. Also, recent price predictions do not see the BAT price in the range over the next five years. Although there is no crime in optimism, it would probably be another long while before BAT hits $100. Do your own research, still.
Based on the recent average forecast price, BAT has excellent potential to reach $2.45 in 2025. This prediction is according to analysis at Wallet Investor. However, some other analysts are highly bullish on its future price. Price Prediction technical research shows that it could hit a maximum price of $4.20 in the same year.
There are solid projections that BAT could be a highly profitable investment in the future. These predictions of great future potential can be linked to various reasons. First, the Brave browser and BAT have acquired and retained millions of monthly users. As of 2021, Brave had over 42 million active monthly users, while over 7 million wallets hold BAT tokens. Crypto experts expect these numbers to skyrocket in the coming years, possibly pushing the future price up. However, do your own research before investing.
As of this writing, Basic Attention Token has 1.50 billion tokens in circulation. This amount also represents the exact total supply of the BAT coin.
