If I love once, I love forever.
A low-burn love is also slow-burn love.
When you don't fire on all cannons and throw yourself at them full-steam-ahead, you don't find yourself panting and exhausted at the end of a few, breakneck months or years. You have lightness and love left — for yourself, and for them — even after you've parted ways, and even if the relationship stops, your love may have no ending.
We had two male dogs growing up. One was incredibly high-energy, bordering on "anxious" all the time. Moving like a buck or a young colt, he was always leaping up and spritely prancing alongside whenever anybody went anywhere; constantly wanting to go; insatiably hungry for hikes and car rides and fetch.
The other was a real ox of a lab, moving only as fast as he needed to, lumbering wherever he was going, taking his time. Even feeding time was a matter of casualness, and if I ever saw that dog so much as break to a slow, drag-paw jog, I don't recall it. You couldn't get a rise out of that dog if you tried — that being said, his affection and sweetness was bottomless.
And that's a little how loving lightly can be. When love is un-anxious and at ease, we don't burn ourselves up in it. And when we don't burn ourselves up in it, we can go on loving for longer.
When we honor the other person as their own person, we can go on doing exactly that, endlessly, first from their side and then far away and across time.
When we approach love lightly, our love can last as long as we want.

Watch a Wolf – Unique Christmas Present!
I know it's early to be thinking about Christmas, but if you want to get the Christmas present buying out of the way early, here's a unique gift idea for the animal or wolf lover…the Wolf Watch Experience!
If you live in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, or Los Angeles this might be the right Christmas present for your fellow wolf lover! You get a walk or bus ride to a preserve to meet foxes and bobcats, a talk with an expert, and then get to observe wolf packs. As a souvenir you get a framed wolf pic at the end! Prices start at $50…which might be kind of expensive. However, you don't necessarily have to buy a commercial wolf package…why not plan the wolf watch experience yourself? Buy the tickets to the wolf (or animal) preserve in advance, book any tours of the preserve, print your itinerary yourself, and put it all in a little gift pack…with a wolf card explaining what it is. Maybe even include a stuffed wolf animal with the package. Easy to make a memorable gift for those who care about wolves…if they don't like wolves, change the wolf watch to any other animal watch.

Writers are likely to be mere entertainers who appeal to the emotions and passions of the audience.
Texts created by poets are almost inevitably inaccurate and defective as limitations
The best artitistic texts will be both complex and unified: every part of the work will be essential to it and will be linked to every other part.
Texts should be judged on the basis of how accurately they imitate philosophical truth.
Q.90 In the following list, which two journals relate to the field of post-colonial literature?
Kunapipi
Q.91 Read the following poem and answer the questions:
HOME IS SO SAD
Home is so sad. It stays as it was left, Shaped to the comfort of the last to go As if to win them back. Instead, bereft of anyone to please, it withers so, having no heart to put aside the theft. And turn again to what is started as, a joyous shot at how things ought to be, Long fallen wide. You can see how it was: Look at the pictures and the cutlery. The music in the piano stool. That vase.
Q 91. Why is the 'home' 'Sad'?
Because it has waited in vain
Because its joy has faded
Because it remains unchanged
Because it is devoid of resident
Q92. There is a 'thief' in the poem. Who is that 'thief'?
The time that ticks away
The fate that overpowers
The tenant who leaves
The past that beckons
Q93. Why has the 'home' 'withered'?
Because everything has to fade sooner or later
Because it has no longer the reason to be what it was
Because it is an organic entity in any case
Because it has been betrayed categorically
Q94. How was the home before it became 'sad'?
It was as it would be
It was as it shall be
It was as it should be
It was as it could be
Read the following passage and answer the questions:
Lying is an accursed vice. It is only our words which bind us together and make us human. If we realized the horror and weight of lying, we would see that it is more worthy of the stake than other crimes. I find that people normally waste time quite inappropriately punishing children for innocent misdemeanors formenting them for thoughtless actions which lead nowhere and leave no trace. It seems to me that the only faults which we should vigorously attack as soon as they arise and start to develop are lying and little below that, stubbornness. Those faults grow up with the children. Once let the tongue acquire the habit of lying and it is astonishing how impossible it is to make it give it up. That is why some otherwise decent men are object slaven to it. One of my tailors is a good enough fellow, but I have never heard him once speak the truth, not even when it would help him, if he did so.
Q95. 'Lying' is a fault that should be punished only
When the first lie is uttered
When it becomes convenient
When it becomes stubborn
When it begins to turn into a habit
Q96. It is suggested in the passage that the tailor does never speak the truth because
He cannot keep the word he gives
He does not know lying is a crime
He thinks lying will help him.
He is a slave of his profession
Q97. According to the author "thoughtless actions"
Torment others
Are strictly not misdemeanors
Mean nothing and are soon forgotten
Are punishment for children
Q98. How does 'lying' affect human relationships?
It makes the relationships 'human'
It reduces the affinity among people
It promotes togetherness among diverse people
It does not affect at all as it is merely words
Q99. Read the following passage from Antigone and answer question
Creon: And yet wert bold enough to break the law
Antigone: Yea, for these laws were not ordained by Zeus.
And she who sits enthroned with gods below,
Justice enacted not these human laws.
Nor did I deem that thou, a mortal man,
Could'st by a breath annual and override.
The immutable unwritten laws of Heaven
The three kinds of laws implicit in Antigone's response are:
Human, unwritten, written
Of Gods, of Zeus, of Justice
Of Gods, of Justice, of Man
Of Man, of Heaven, Of Zeus
Q.100 Read the following passage and answer the question
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredibility, it was the season of light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
The Age described in the above passage is best described as the Age of
Parallelisms
Inconsistencies
Contraries

Q: Error when executing "cabal install hoogle" When I run cabal install hoogle, I get the following:
setup: The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install
haskell-src-exts-1.13.3 failed during the configure step the exeption is ExitFailure 1

$ghc -V
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.1

How to fix such a problem?

A: Instead of cabal install hoogle, run cabal install alex happy && cabal install hoogle.
Many packages on hackage require alex and happy, so it is good idea to install them after cabal update.

A: I had lot's of trouble installing hoogle locally. Adding the cabal binary directory, ~/.cabal/bin to my PATH with
export PATH=$PATH:~/.cabal/bin

ended up essentially fixing my problem. After that, just follow the errors and install anything that cabal barks about missing, including alex and happy.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A majority of Americans say President Donald Trump's ethical standards are lower than those of each of six U.S. presidents elected in the past 50 years. Less than half say Trump's ethics are lower than Richard Nixon's, but the 43% saying this still outweighs the 37% who say Trump's ethics are higher than Nixon's.
The Sept. 3-9 Gallup poll asked how Trump's ethical standards compare with those of seven of his eight predecessors. Trump fares worst in relation to Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. and George W. Bush, each of whom has a greater-than 2-to-1 advantage over Trump in perceptions of having higher vs. lower ethics. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have smaller, but still sizable, advantages over Trump in the public's perceptions of their ethical standards. Nixon is the closest to being on par with Trump.
Nixon, who was charged with obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress as a result of his involvement in the Watergate scandal, is the only U.S. president to resign from office, which he did in 1974, before his expected impeachment. Clinton was impeached in 1998 on the grounds of perjury and obstruction of justice stemming from his extramarital affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, but he was acquitted when his case went to trial in the Senate.
Similar percentages of Americans think Trump's ethical standards are higher than Clinton's and Nixon's. However, significantly more say Trump's ethics are below Clinton's than below Nixon's. This is accounted for by higher percentages saying Trump's ethics are the same as Nixon's, or who are unsure.
Gallup asked this question about Clinton in 1997, before the revelations about his involvement with Lewinsky but during the investigation into the Whitewater real estate matter. Respondents at that time were asked to compare Clinton's ethics with those of Nixon, Carter, Reagan and Bush. Majorities said Clinton's ethical standards were lower than Carter's, Reagan's and the elder Bush's, but Clinton was viewed as more ethical than Nixon, albeit by less than half of Americans.
Are Bill Clinton's ethical standards higher or lower than those of each of the following when he was president?
Trump has been dogged by allegations of sexual misconduct since before he took office, and the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia continues. Yet more than eight in 10 Republicans still approve of the job he is doing.
Republicans are much more likely to say Trump's ethical standards are higher than those of Democratic presidents Obama (73% say Trump's are higher) and Clinton (78%), and are modestly more likely to say Trump's ethics are higher rather than lower compared with Carter's (47% higher, 36% lower).
However, Republicans do not rate Trump's ethics universally more positively compared with previous GOP presidents. Republicans on balance view Trump's ethical standards as lower than those of George H.W. Bush and Reagan, but higher than those of George W. Bush and Nixon.

When Life Hands You Lemons
Once in a while, you have the opportunity to come in contact with someone special who can help you put things into perspective, pull on your heart strings, and breathe an air of hope and possibility into your lungs. Kevin Lowe is one of these amazing souls.
When life hands you lemons, you have to choose if you're going to just exist with the status quo, or perhaps, be brave enough to go for the gusto and live life to its fullest. Kevin, a young, millennial-aged entrepreneur has chosen the latter and we know you'll find his story to be awe-inspiring!
At the age of 17, Kevin's world was turned upside down when he learned that he had a severe brain tumor that without its removal would result in a life expectancy of no more than 6 months. On October 28, 2003, he underwent intensive surgery to remove the tumor which ultimately saved his life, but at a cost no one ever expected: Kevin awoke to a world gone dark. With damage to his optic nerve caused by the tumor, Lowe would be left completely blind. But, with a smile that never goes away and a laugh that is unmistakable, Kevin's life is as bright as ever.
Residing in the small beachside community of Ormond Beach, Florida, Kevin is clearly a product of his coastal upbringing given his philosophy that no outfit goes wrong with a pair of boat shoes and sunglasses. He has turned one of his greatest joys, traveling, into a career, and is making a name for himself in the travel industry as a leisure Travel Specialist with Groupit Travel.
Kevin will tell you that he reached a point in his life where he was no longer satisfied to just keep existing, but wanted to start thriving and live the life of his dreams. He was no longer okay with allowing his life to be limited by his blindness any longer. "I will always have that hope that I will see again one day, but I came to a point where I decided that I would not allow that hope to keep me from making the most out of today."
Kevin had been working as a travel agent for a few years before really being able to identify his own unique specialty: sensory and transformational travel. Through his own travels where he would encounter so many people who couldn't understand why a blind person would go on a cruise or to some gorgeous Caribbean island when they couldn't see it Kevin recognized a problem. As Kevin relates, "...everyone is so stuck on the visual that they end up missing out on so much more." It took some time, but he gained the ability to recognize life's beauty from a different view. Kevin believes that "we are blessed with five senses and the ability to see is just one."
Although Kevin may not see the sunshine he can feel it's heat on his face. While he may not see the ocean's waves, but he can taste the salt in the air as the waves crash onto shore. Despite not seeing the sea gulls flying overhead, he can hear as they crow. And, while he may not see the white sandy beach, he loves the tactile experience of feeling the gritty sand in between his toes. (Want to hear how Kevin "sees" a babbling brook? Watch the quick video!)
It is this unique perspective that has enabled Kevin to be such an invaluable partner to his clients. He will be the first to tell you that he doesn't book vacations; he creates one-of-a-kind travel experiences aimed at giving his clients the ability to use all of their senses to become fully immersed in their destination. With the philosophy that no one should ever return from a vacation as the same person they were when they left, Kevin's primary goal is to equip his clients with the resources they need to enhance their senses and to ultimately leave them feeling transformed coupled with memories that will never leave their hearts.
Kevin urges everyone to allow themselves to take just a moment every once in a while to just stop, and be still. Allow yourself the opportunity to recognize the beauty that surrounds you in whatever form it may present itself. And most importantly, do not allow your life to be dictated by the lemons you are handed as there is always a way to keep thriving in life, even if it may be in a way you had never imagined before.
Working with Kevin Lowe
Kevin Lowe is a Sensory and Transformational Travel Specialist as well as a Certified Destination Weddings, Honeymoons & Romance Travel Specialist. If you would like to embark on a journey that will change your life forever, please contact him here.
Colleen Renner link
I am so inspired with Kevin and I'm glad that he is with Groupit Travel. His story is amazing and I'm glad that I can work with Kevin and know him as a person.
What a way beautiful way to travel with knowing that Kevin is behind you 100% and letting him close your eyes and open your senses to what he feels in your travel.

St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati broke ground this morning on its new 36,000-square-foot Outreach Center, allowing the organization to better fulfill its mission of serving those residents of Cincinnati and Hamilton County who are struggling and in need.
Bishop Joe Binzer of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati began the day by blessing the site and offering up words of prayer for the help and hope that the neighbors will receive there, while Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley spoke about how much the people of the city are blessed to be able to come to a place such as St. Vincent de Paul and receive such a wide range of assistance, from food in the Lindner Choice Food Pantry to medicine through the Charitable Pharmacy to rent and utility assistance and more.
Completion of the long-planned and much-needed Outreach Center is expected in the Fall of 2019.
All services will be available simultaneously. Currently, due to space limitations, the Edyth and Carl Lindner Choice Food Pantry, Charitable Pharmacy and other services that operate in the current Outreach Center can't be open at the same time. Neighbors can then take care of all their needs in one day instead of having to come back on multiple days.
Neighbors will not have to wait outside the building in long lines. The current lobby and waiting area only hold a few people.
Individuals with physical limitations will be able to navigate our building with safety and ease.
Programs like the Fan and Air Conditioner Distribution, the Coat Drive and Angel Toy will be held on-site, reducing the transportation barrier many neighbors face and significantly improving organizational efficiency.
The new Outreach Center is on the site of the former Young and Bertke warehouse, known for its iconic tinman sign that faced I-75. SVDP acquired the site in 2012. SVDP has occupied the building across the street from the site since 1962. It is a former mattress warehouse that was constructed in the 1870s, and will remain the organization's administrative offices and Ozanam Center for Service Learning.
The project is being funded through contributions to the Upward Spiral Comprehensive Campaign. To date, $9.3 million of the $12 million campaign goal has been raised. This is only the second campaign in the 149-year history of SVDP. The organization successfully completed a $2.5 million campaign in 2006, which helped fund the opening of the Charitable Pharmacy and the original renovations of the Liz Carter Outreach Center.
The Campaign also includes funds for a Conference Assistance Fund benefiting SVDP's 56 parish-based volunteer groups across Hamilton County.
The Outreach Center was designed by GBBN and is being built by Haglage Construction.

History of Oysters in the Chesapeake Bay

1.1 Link to Principles of Rebuilding
Oysters are quintessential examples of keystone species in coastal and estuarine waters from the subtropical through temperate latitudes worldwide. They are well represented in the fossil record and extant forms have been present for at least 50 million years with little morphological change. As sea level rises and falls over geological time frames oysters, with their prodigious fecundity and pelagic larval forms, are initial invaders of newly formed estuaries (ephemeral features in geological time, consider that the current Chesapeake Bay is only 10,000 years old). Notably, oysters create their own habitat on a large scale, a rare attribute among marine species as complex, three-dimensional oyster reefs. These reef structures serve several important physical, chemical and biological purposes. Physically, the reef structures prevent wind-driven fetch and thus mitigate sediment movement in estuaries. By reducing suspended sediment loads they increase light transmission through the water column and increase both water column and benthic photosynthesis. The implications for nutrient cycling and productivity at multiple trophic levels are obvious. Chemically the reefs form the single largest reservoir of alkalinity (buffering power) in the estuarine environment. Estuaries have been described as the "great titration" where acidic freshwaters meet buffered seawater. These regions of high productivity, driven by land-based nutrient supply, are nurseries for wider ranging migratory species (everything from fish to arguably many birds). These food chains are inevitably built on benthic marine invertebrates whose complex life histories include pelagic larval forms that settle and metamorphose on or in the benthos. These microscopic forms, typically less than a millimeter in maximum dimension, have little or no ability to osmoregulate and require a particular pH environment for their enzyme systems to function during and following the sensitive metamorphosis period. Oyster shells provide the essential carbonate buffering in the estuarine and coastal benthos to enable the development and perpetuation of these all-important diverse benthic communities.
Biologically, oysters are, through their filter feeding activity, agents of pelagic (water column) – benthic coupling. They facilitate the transfer of single-cell plankton productivity to benthic food chains that, in turn, support food webs all the way to apex predators such as migratory fishes. Finally, and rarely mentioned in the same context, oysters have, over anthropological time, been crucial to estuarine and coastal ecosystems that have been the centers of much human societal development. This ranges from native people who seasonally occupied "fishing camps", the archeological record of the Chesapeake Bay is rich with such examples, to the coastal metropolises of the globe – simply examine a world map and note how many great cities are located on estuaries, locations that were originally chosen in part for their abundant supply of local seafood. So oysters, arguably as much as or more than any other animal form, have broad ecosystem and societal importance both historically and in the present.
The history of the Chesapeake Bay oyster resource has been well documented, from its seemingly limitless abundance in the days of early colonial settlement, through massive exploitation with product being shipped to both Europe by sea and the Pacific coast via the trans-continental railroad, to gradual victimization with environmental degradation, to the final insult of disease epizootics driven by a non native microorganism (MSX). By the mid-1970s the Chesapeake oyster resource was at an all-time low. Various estimates have placed its status at single-digit percentage of pre-colonial abundance. While the actual value can be debated, there is universal agreement that the oyster resource was both gravely depressed and in need of a focused restoration effort for both ecological and fishery support purposes. Many efforts have been made to restore the Chesapeake Bay oyster resource, some less realistic in their goals than others. A recent challenging and critical review by Mann and Powell (2007) has brought to light numerous poorly appreciated elements of prior, generally unsuccessful efforts. Most important among these has been the failure to adequately consider the role of the shell habitat as an entity with its own dynamics and requiring of equal attention to the live oyster component of oyster reef biology. Hence the focus of this project on both the live and the shell components of oyster reef biology in parallel and in support of restorative actions.

Five COVID-19 updates for ASC leaders
Angie Stewart - Monday, August 3rd, 2020 Print	| Email
What ASC leaders should know about the pandemic's effect on industry growth, finances and more:
1. Outpatient growth. Since the start of the pandemic, Becker's ASC Review has reported on six ASCs introducing robotics and seven ASCs that have opened. These investments could reflect mounting belief that COVID-19 will significantly accelerate migration to the outpatient setting. According to a McKinsey & Co. report, 40 percent of private practice physicians are more likely to refer patients to non-hospital settings due to the pandemic.
"A possible rationale is that physicians may be wary of the safety of hospital-based care in the return from COVID-19, although the survey did not include questions to that effect," McKinsey & Co. said in its analysis of responses from private-practice physicians six weeks into the pandemic.
2. Staffing. Rising numbers of COVID-19 patients in U.S. hot spots could strain availability of critical care physicians and nurses, giving non-hospital providers "an instrumental role in the pandemic response," according to a Kaiser Family Foundation report.
For ASCs in particular, top personnel challenges at this point in the pandemic include determining when to bring back furloughed staff as COVID-19 case numbers rise; identifying who is likely to return to work; and recruiting top talent to replace any workers who move on to other opportunities, according to experts from Talentcare and Henry Schein Medical.
3. Safety. An outpatient surgery nurse with Quincy, Ill.-based Blessing Hospital went into isolation after testing positive for COVID-19. The nurse, Kathleen Birsic, RN, said it was a "horrifying moment" when she found out she tested positive on July 16. Twenty-four employees at Blessing Hospital have tested positive for COVID-19 since March.
At Gainesville-based University of Florida Health's anesthesia department, 14 junior anesthesiology residents, two senior anesthesiology residents, a fellow and an administrative employee tested positive for COVID-19 in July.
Complicating efforts to minimize COVID-19 transmission among patients, healthcare workers and their communities, the FDA has added 77 hand sanitizers to its recall list due to the presence of methanol.
4. Financial relief. Ninety-seven percent of U.S. medical practices have taken a financial hit from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a survey by the Medical Group Management Association. Many ASCs and specialty groups have secured funding to offset losses, and Becker's compiled a list of 425 surgery centers that received Paycheck Protection Program loans of more than $150,000.
Despite financial assistance programs, businesses such as San Antonio-based Babcock Surgical Center weren't able to make ends meet. The ASC filed for voluntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy June 11 in the Western District of Texas.
When it comes to collections, several pandemic-related factors could boost patient payment rates. Revenue cycle management services provider Mnet Health reported a 1.6 percent year-over-year increase in patient payments in June, attributing the rise to more contact with patients, patients' interest in protecting their credit scores, the consequences of widespread uncertainty and gratitude toward front-line healthcare workers.
5. Recovery strategies. By late June, volumes were back in full swing — or nearly there — for more than a dozen surgery centers polled by Becker's. The administrators shared helpful strategies for resuming elective surgeries, including electronic communication with patients and rigorous preoperative screening. For Wichita Falls (Texas) Endoscopy Center, reopening hinged on maintaining adequate supply levels, convening regular meetings and keeping a flow of referrals.
Expected surgical backlogs facilitated a "V-shaped" recovery for many ASCs, according to Frank Raneri, senior vice president of Paradigm Specialty Networks. However, renewed restrictions in some areas could affect the rebound trajectory. Facing climbing rates of COVID-19 in late June, Texas quickly reinstated bans on elective procedures in more than 100 of its 254 counties. Mississippi followed suit, while some healthcare operators in Florida and Arizona voluntarily halted elective cases or prepared for surges by barring additions to the surgical schedule. In Iowa, several hospitals reintroduced visitor restrictions to head off COVID-19 surges.

Q: Rails: Determine if an object has a named route In a Rails 3.1 app, I want to list a bunch of objects of variable class (from a polymorphic table) which I don't know in advance. For those that are resources with a named route, I'd like to use that route in a link_to call. Naive approach without checking if such a route exists (excuse the HAML):
%ul
- @objects.each do |object|
  %li= link_to object, url_for(object)

This will raise a undefined method 'foo_path' error if the object is an instance of class Foo which does not have a named route (for example because it's not defined as a resource). Is there an easy way (such as a simple method call) to determine the existence of a named route for an object or class?
What I would like to get is something like this:
%ul
- @objects.each do |object|
  %li= link_to_if object.has_route?, object, url_for(object)

A: You could just add a rescue to your link_to call if you don't want model objects without named routes to be generated or output some error message for them
%ul
- @objects.each do |object|
  %li= (link_to(object, url_for(object)) rescue "no link")

A: Looking at the exact same problem. I don't like rescue for the same reason. I'm thinking
respond_to?(object.class.name.underscore + "_path")

This needs to be modified depending on nesting, subdomains, and STI; e.g., for my purpose I have:
respond_to?("ops_media_file_#{asset.class.base_class.name.underscore}_path")

and that seems to work pretty well.

This guide provides an overview of VBScript variables.
A variable is a convenient placeholder that refers to a computer memory location where you can store program information that may change during the time your script is running. For example, you might create a variable called ClickCount to store the number of times a user performs a certain operation. Where the variable is stored in computer memory is unimportant. What is important is that you only have to refer to a variable by name to see or change its value. In VBScript, variables are always of one fundamental data type: Variant.
A variable's scope is determined by where you declare it. When you declare a variable within a procedure, only code within that procedure can access or change the value of that variable. It has local scope and is a procedure-level variable. If you declare a variable outside a procedure, you make it recognizable to all the procedures in your script. This is a script-level variable, and it has script-level scope.
The lifetime of a variable depends on how long it exists. The lifetime of a script-level variable extends from the time it is declared until the time the script is finished running. At procedure level, a variable exists only as long as you are in the procedure. When the procedure exits, the variable is destroyed. Local variables are ideal as temporary storage space when a procedure is executing. You can have local variables of the same name in several different procedures because each is recognized only by the procedure in which it is declared.
In a two-dimensional array, the first number is always the number of rows; the second number is the number of columns.
To use a dynamic array, you must subsequently use ReDim to determine the number of dimensions and the size of each dimension. In the following example, ReDim sets the initial size of the dynamic array to 25. A subsequent ReDim statement resizes the array to 30, but uses the Preserve keyword to preserve the contents of the array as the resizing takes place.
There is no limit to the number of times you can resize a dynamic array, although if you make an array smaller, you lose the data in the eliminated elements.


Happy Earth Day! In honor of today, this project is a straight up recycling DIY.
This project uses recycled plastic that would have otherwise gone in the trash. It may not be the most sturdy material, but I personally think it's better than having it sit in the junkyard. You can use almost any kind of plastic – fruit containers are a good one. So is the (kind of annoying) packaging that some items come in.
You'll only need 2 small pieces for your earrings, so you can make a LOT out of one piece of plastic. These plastic containers once held croissants, jewelry supplies and a lens hood for my Nikon camera.
1) Cut out 2 plastic triangles (or whatever shape you want). Place it against your ear, just to make sure they'll fit comfortably. One of the points was digging into the side of my face, but I was easily to trim that down.
After cutting out one piece, you might want to trace it onto the next piece of plastic, so that both pieces are the same size.
2) Spray paint, and let dry a couple of hours (a MUST).
I spray painted on an old issue of Elle magazine – how ironic is it that I happened to open up to that page?
3) Apply the tape in the pattern you want, making sure it's completely flat. You can do a chevron print like this, or diagonal stripes, or horizontal stripes…totally up to you.
4) Wipe off the excess paint off of the paintbrush, and carefully paint in the pattern. Let dry for a bit.
After peeling the tape off.
5) More tape, for the second half of the pattern.
6) Peel off when dry.
7) Glue on some rhinestones, if you'd like. Using super glue with a pointed tip will help with precision.
8) Glue on the earring posts, and let dry completely.
Finished. You can't even really tell that it's plastic!
Of course, you don't only need to make earrings. There's going to be a lot of plastic leftover, so you can even make a ring if you'd like. I used the same paint for this ring, but added more rhinestones.
I've been using that coffee sleeve for the past 5 years. I made it from a thrifted plaid button up and some scrap fabric. In those 5 years, I can't even imagine how many cardboard sleeves I would have used otherwise.
I also usually use a coffee mug…but sometimes you can't help but buy a cup when you're running errands or meeting up with a friend. Thankfully, I always have a coffee sleeve with me.

El meteorito Tagish Lake cayó a las 16:43 UTC del 18 de enero de 2000 en el área del lago Tagish al noroeste de la Columbia Británica, en Canadá en las coordenadas .

Historia
Fragmentos del meteorito Tagish Lake cayeron en la Tierra el 18 de enero de 2000 a las 16:43 UT (8:43 hora local en Yukon) después de que un meteorito mayor explotó en la estratosfera a una altitud de entre 50-30 km con una estimación de liberación total de energía de alrededor de 1.7 kilotones. Después de que se reportara el avistaje de un bólido al sur del Yukón y al norte de la Columbia Británica, en Canadá, más de 500 fragmentos de meteorito fueron tomados de la superficie congelada del lago. Fotografías del rastro dejado por el bólido en la atmósfera con posterioridad al evento e información satelital del Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos reportaron la trayectoria meteórica. La mayoría de los fragmentos pedregosos de condrita carbonácea aterrizaron en el brazo Taku del lago, deteniéndose sobre la superficie congelada del mismo. El paso del bólido y la explosión a una gran altura encendieron una amplia variedad de sensores satelitales como así también de sismógrafos.

Meteoroide
Se estima que el meteoroide Tagish Lake debió haber tenido 4 m de diámetro y 56 toneladas de peso antes de entrar la atmósfera de la Tierra. Sin embargo, también se estima que solo 1,3 t quedaron después de la ablación y varios fenómenos de fragmentación en la alta atmósfera, lo que significa que alrededor del 97% del meteorito se vaporizó transformándose mayoritariamente en polvo estratosférico. Este fenómeno pudo ser visto hasta cerca de doce horas después del evento, durante el atardecer, en la forma de nube mesosférica polar al noroeste de Edmonton. De la 1,3 t de roca fragmentada, poco más de 10 kg (alrededor del 1%) fue encontrado y recolectado.

Ejemplares
El Tagish Lake está clasificado como una condrita carbonácea, del tipo C2 no agrupadas. Sus partes son de color gris oscuro a casi negro con inclusiones de colores claros, y un tamaño máximo de ~2.3 kg.  Excepto por una costra de fusión grisácea, los meteoritos tienen la apariencia visual de un carbón vegetal briqueta. A fines de enero de 2000, los fragmentos fueron transportados a instalaciones de investigación en su estado de congelación luego de que fueran recolectados por un residente local. Los primeros estudios de estos fragmentos frescos fueron hechos en colaboración con la NASA. La nieve cubrió el resto de los fragmentos hasta abril de 2000 cuando su búsqueda fue llevada a cabo por los investigadores de la Universidad de Calgary y la Universidad de Western Ontario. Estos últimos fragmentos fueron encontrados en su mayoría hundidos en el hielo desde unos pocos cm hasta más de 20 cm, y tuvieron que ser recolectados de hoyos de agua derretida o cortados de bloques de hielo de la superficie congelada del lago Tagish.

Fragmentos del fresco, "prístino" meteorito Tagish Lake totalizando más de 850 g son actualmente conservados en la colección del Museo Real de Ontario y la Universidad de Alberta. Fragmentos "degradados" fruto de la búsqueda de abril–mayo de 2000 son a su vez conservados mayormente en la Universidad de Calgary y la Universidad de Western Ontario.

Análisis y clasificación
Los análisis han mostrado que fragmentos de Tagish Lake son de un tipo primitivo, que contiene gránulos de polvo de estrellas sin cambios que podrían haber sido parte de una nube del material que creó nuestro sistema solar y nuestro Sol. Este meteorito muestra algunas similitudes con dos de los más primitivos tipos de condrita carbonácea, las CI y CM; es, sin embargo, bastante diferente de cualquiera de ellas. El Tagish Lake tiene una mucho menor densidad que cualquier otro tipo de condrita y de hecho está compuesto por dos rocas diferentes. La mayor diferencia entre las dos litologías es la abundancia de carbonatos minerales; una es pobre en carbonatos y la otra es rica en ellos.

El meteorito contiene abundante materia orgánica, incluyendo aminoácidos.  La misma podría haberse formado originalmente en el medio interestelar y/ o disco solar protoplanetario, pero fue subsecuentemente modificado en el cuerpo originario del asteroide meteorito.

Una porción del carbono en el meteorito Tagish Lake está contenido en lo que se llama nanodiamantes - pequeñísimos granos de diamantes de menos de unos pocos micrómetros de tamaño. De hecho, el Tagish Lake contiene más nanodiamantes que ningún otro meteorito.

Origen

Basado en los dichos de testigos presenciales del bólido causado por el meteoroide ingresante y en las fotografías calibradas del rastro dejado por el mismo y visible por cerca de media hora, científicos han logrado calcular la órbita que siguió antes de impactar con la Tierra. Aunque ninguna de las fotografías capturó al bólido directamente, su rastro fue reconstruido a partir de dos fotografías calibradas tomadas minutos después del fenómeno, dando el ángulo de entrada. Las manifestaciones de los testigos presenciales en las cercanías de Whitehorse, Yukon constriñeron con exactitud el azimut de la trayectoria terrestre desde cualquiera de sus lados. Se encontró que el meteorito Tagish Lake tuvo una pre-entrada de órbita tipo Apolo que lo trajo desde algún lugar más allá del cinturón de asteroides. Actualmente, hay solo once caídas de meteoritos con órbitas de pre-entrada determinadas con exactitud, a partir de fotografías o grabaciones de videos de bólidos tomados desde dos o más ángulos diferentes.

Posteriores estudios del espectro de reflectancia del meteorito indicaron que lo más probable es que se haya originado desde el asteroide tipo D (773) Irmintraud.
