Lobelia inflata
IN the United States there are many species of Lobelia, which are interesting for their beauty, singularity or use. We have few plants more elegant than the cardinal flower, and few more curious in structure than the Lobelia Dortmanna. In medicinal powers, the subject of this article is entitled to take precedence of the rest. It is an annual plant, found in fields and road sides, from Canada to the southern states. It flowers from midsummer until the arrival of frosts.
The genus Lobelia has a five cleft calyx; a monopetalozis, irregular corolla, icith a cleft tube; the anthers cohering; the capsule two or three celled.
The species inflata is branching and hairy, with ovate, serrate leaves, and turgid capsules.
The connexion of the anthers into a tube has caused some ambiguity and difference of opinion, as to the place which this genus should occupy, in the Linnaean system. Linnaeus placed it in his order Monogamia of the class Syngenesia. Most of our late botanists have very properly removed the plants of this order from the compound flowers, with which they have no natural affinity, to Pentandria, which place their number of stamens authorizes them to occupy. Pursh has placed the Lobelias under Monadelphia. The Natural order which contains them is the Campanaceae of Linnaeus and Jussieu.
The Lobelia inflata varies in height from six inches to two or three feet. The small plants are nearly simple, the large ones much branched. Root fibrous. Stem erect, in the full sized plant much branched, angular, very hairy. Leaves scattered, sessile, oval, serrate, veiny and hairy. Flowers in spikes or racemes, pedunculated, each one in the axil of a small leaf. Segments of the calyx linear, acute, standing on the germ, which is oval and striated. Corolla bluish purple, the tube prismatic and cleft above, the segments spreading, acute, the two upper ones lanceolate, the three lower ones oval. Anthers collected into an oblong, curved body, purple; filaments white. Style filiform; stigma curved and inclosed by the anthers. Capsules two celled, turgid, oval, compressed, ten angled, covered with the calyx. Seeds numerous, small, oblong, brown.
The Lobelia inflata when broken, emits a milky juice. When chewed, it communicates to the mouth a burning, acrimonious sensation, not unlike the taste of green tobacco. It exhibits the following noticeable ingredients upon chemical examination. 1. An acrid principle. This is evident to the taste in the tincture, decoction, and distilled water. 2. Caoutchouc. Sulphuric ether dissolves more of the plant than alcohol, and acquires a higher colour. The solution in alcohol is scarcely rendered turbid by water, that in ether is disturbed by alcohol, and grows thick as the ether evaporates. 3. Extractive. No gummy or astringent qualities were manifested in my experiments.
The great acrimony of the leaves and capsules, combined with a narcotic property, appears to be the foundation of their medicinal power. Dr. Cutler informs us, that if the leaves be held for some time in the mouth, they produce giddiness and pain in the head, with a trembling agitation of the whole body, and at length bring on nausea and vomiting. These effects are analagous to those, which the chewing or smoking of tobacco occasions in persons unaccustomed to its use.
When swallowed in substance, it excites very speedy vomiting, accompanied with distressing and long continued sickness, and even with dangerous symptoms, if the dose be large. A melancholy instance of death, occasioned by the use of this plant, in the hands of a quack, is detailed in the sixth volume of the Massachusetts Reports, in the trial of Samuel Thomson, an empiric practising in Beverly, for the murder of Ezra Lovett. In this trial it appeared, that the patient, being confined by a cold, sent for the pretended physician, who gave him three powders of Lobelia in the course of half an hour, each of which vomited him violently, and left him in a great perspiration during the night. The next day two more powders were administered, each of which operated by vomiting and occasioned great distress. In like manner two other powders were given the subsequent day, leaving the patient in a state of great prostration. Several days after this, the physician came again, and finding his patient still worse, administered several more powders, which occasioned great distress, and at length ceased to operate. Finding that the stomach was not sensible to the emetic effect of the Lobelia, the physician repeated the dose, and when the patient complained of great distress at the breast and said he was dying, the doctor assured him the medicine would soon get down, or operate as a cathartic. However, on the same evening, the patient lost his reason and became convulsed, so that two men were required to hold him. To relieve which, the doctor forced down two more of his powders, and the patient, as was to he expected, grew worse, and continued so until he expired. (Read what really happened here. Lobelia isn't toxic, and Thomson wasn't guilty. -Henriette)
The doctor, who had thus terminated the disease and the patient at once, was arrested and put upon trial for murder; but the homicide proving a legitimate one from the want of sufficient evidence of malice propense, he was acquitted and set at liberty.
From the violence of its effects, and the distressing nausea which it occasions, it is probable that the Lobelia will never come into use for the common purposes of an emetic, while other emetics can be obtained. It has however been found to exert a beneficial influence on particular diseases, and on this account is entitled to a place in the Materia Medica. Dr. Cutler, and a number of physicians in Essex county and elsewhere, have found benefit from its use in asthma, some in doses of a table spoonful of the saturated tincture, others in doses of a teaspoonful. Indeed the former dose appears to be a very large one, and greater than most stomachs would bear with impunity. I have tried this medicine in several cases of asthma with some advantage. It has not however in general succeeded in affording relief of the paroxysm, until full vomiting was produced, which effect, with me, has happened after taking one or two teaspoonfuls.
A communication from Dr. Cutler, on the operation of this plant, is inserted in Dr. Thacher's Dispensatory. The venerable writer having himself suffered from asthma for ten years, had, during the paroxysms, resorted to many medicines for relief, without experiencing much benefit from any. He was at length induced to make trial of a tincture, prepared by himself from the Lobelia inflata. "In a paroxysm," says he, "which perhaps was as severe as I had ever experienced; the difficulty of breathing extreme, and after it had continued for a considerable time, I took a table spoonful. In three or four minutes my breathing was as free as it ever was, but I felt no nausea at the stomach. In ten minutes I took another spoonful, which occasioned sickness. After ten minutes I took a third, which produced sensible effects upon the coats of the stomach, and a very little moderate puking, and a kind of prickly sensation through the whole system, even to the extremities of the fingers and toes. But all these sensations very soon subsided, and a vigour seemed to be restored to the constitution, which I had not experienced for years. I have not since had a paroxysm, and only a few times some small symptoms of asthma. Besides the violent attacks, I had scarcely passed a night without more or less of it, and often so as not to be able to lie in bed. Since that time I have enjoyed as good health, as perhaps before the first attack."
Dr. Cutler considers his disease to be what Dr. Bree in his "Practical inquiries on disordered respiration" calls the first species, "an asthma from pulmonic irritation of effused serum."
Dr. Randall informs me, that he has given the Lobelia to many persons of different ages suffering from asthma and catarrh, and with considerable variation in the form and degree of the dose. In asthma he finds it as successful as any article he has tried. When given in doses of a drachm of the saturated tincture, and two or three times repeated at convenient intervals; also in the form of other preparations of similar strength, he has found it usually to remove the paroxysm in a short time, and to restore the patient to quietude and ease. In catarrh, when given in small doses and frequently repeated, it has operated as a sure and speedy expectorant, producing effects in their most important character, very similar to those of antimony and squills. Dr. Randall has not observed any narcotic effect to ensue from moderate doses, nor found it to produce irritation of the coats of the bladder, as has been suggested by some practitioners. In his hands it has not produced any more unpleasant consequence than frequent nausea, and occasional emesis, with a copious flow from the glands of the mouth.
Dr. Bradstreet of Newburyport acquaints me, that besides asthmatic cases, he has given the saturated tincture in two or three instances of dyspepsia, also in some cases of a rheumatic nature with beneficial consequences.
He considers its sensible effects to be very like those of common tobacco, but its medicinal action more speedy and diffusible, and of shorter duration. He thinks that it affects those accustomed to the use of tobacco as readily as others.
The Lobelia has been recommended as a remedy in hooping cough and croup. In the former of these complaints, I can say nothing of its use from experience, but in the latter disease I am persuaded, it affords no benefit, having seen it largely tried by different practitioners in a number of fatal cases, where it only produced a distressing nausea, without, in any degree, facilitating the respiration, or relieving the disease.
The active properties of the Lobelia are readily extracted both by water and alcohol. The tincture however is most easily kept, and is the most convenient form for exhibition. The Essex district medical society have recommended a formula for this composition, which directs two ounces of the dried plant to be digested in a pint of diluted alcohol. Of this tincture, a teaspoonful given to an adult, will generally produce nausea, and sometimes vomiting. In certain instances however, much larger doses have been given, without producing any other effect than a flow of saliva.

How do I get the drive path from GUID? (drive path example e:,  f:,  g:) . Note: I will only be inserting and removing usb flash drives and not devices like printer, phone etc.
Edit: I do not want to get drive name/label. I want the path like drive e: or f:

A: "I want the path like drive e: or f:"

Any application with a top-level window can receive basic
notifications by processing the WM_DEVICECHANGE message.
The DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL and DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE events are
automatically broadcast to all top-level windows for port devices.
Volume notifications are also broadcast to top-level windows, so
the function fails if dbch_devicetype is DBT_DEVTYP_VOLUME.
A message-only window (specify the HWND_MESSAGE) enables you to
send and receive messages. It is not visible, has no z-order, cannot
be enumerated, and does not receive broadcast messages. The window
simply dispatches messages.

Refer to "RegisterDeviceNotification" and "Message-Only Windows".
So there are some limitations to a message-only window. However, for a general top-level window, it is easy to achieve. Refer to "Walkthrough: Create a traditional Windows Desktop application (C++)" for how to create a top-level window.
The following is complete sample based on Windows Desktop Application template in Visual Studio.

1. Gather your supplies (see above).
2. Get to rolling. I made half a million tags so I needed half a million balls.
A rolling pin is helpful for mass production.
Mine are actually pretty thin - very thin.
4. Use your metal twist top to cut out the circles for your tags.
I started with a plastic cap.
My cuts were not crisp enough even when I twisted it.
The metal top had thin enough edges to make a crisp cut.
5.Metal lid = clean cut.
You can skip the ink (harder to read, but gives a nice imprinted effect.
to drill a small hole in the tags just before you stick them in the oven.
8. After baked, let them cool.
9. Thread twine (waxed floss works even better) through the holes.
Take the next 2.5 hours to label your wine.
type up a list of what you've got.
Or write it on a chalkboard wall (hint hint, project alert).
and crack open a special bottle just wanting a quick sip.
that is not suitable for human consumption.
more than just your aгticles? I mean, what you say іs valuable and all.

U.S. WOMEN'S OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
PAULA CREAMER: I played pretty solid. I had several three putts, but I made several birdies also. You know, it's out there. You can definitely shoot a good score. It's just eliminating those bogeys.
I don't think I missed - maybe one green I missed all day, but I just had some three-putts.
Q. How did it feel to finally start playing again after the delay yesterday?
PAULA CREAMER: No, it was great. I mean, the buildup's been a lot this whole week, you know, just constantly playing practice rounds. Yesterday was tough not being able to play.
But that's Mother Nature, and you can't control that. You know, it's going to be a long day today. I'm just trying to conserve as much energy as I can, and hopefully I can put up a good number this afternoon.
Q. Do you do anything special when you do have to now go back to back?
PAULA CREAMER: No, just sit down for a little while, eat some food, and then get back out there. The more you think I guess the more it will play a part of it.
It is what it is. It's unfortunate, but just have to do it.

Q: Nuxt Images doesn't convert images I'm using Nuxt 2 and Nuxt Image (static provider) to generate srcset and WEBP format from my images. I use the following component in my markup:
<nuxt-picture :src="srcStringVariable" alt="" sizes="medium:66vw large:46.2vw huge:40.788vw" :imgAttrs="{ loading: 'lazy' }" />

After running nuxt generate and looking at the generated HTML file I see the expected result. Nuxt Image created the picture tags and references the generated files in different sizes and formats.
<picture>
    <source type="image/webp" srcset="/_nuxt/image-0933bc.webp 828w, /_nuxt/image-e8832f.webp 300w, /_nuxt/image-a9aa4c.webp 800w" sizes="(max-width: 920px) 90vw, (max-width: 1200px) 25vw, 800px">

</picture>

Now to my problem.: If I'm running nuxt start and checking the source code it looks like this in the dev tools:
<picture>
    <source type="image/webp" srcset="image.jpg 828w, image.jpg 300w, image.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 920px) 90vw, (max-width: 1200px) 25vw, 800px">

</picture>

The sources all reference the same original image. This also happens when I'm deploying this to Netlify. Is this expected behaviour and I'm just not getting the point of Nuxt Image? Is there something wrong with my settings or markup?
My nuxt.config.js file has the following relevant settings:
export default {
  target: 'static',
  ssr: true,
  buildModules: ['@nuxt/image'],
  image: {
    provider: 'static',
    staticFilename: '[publicPath]/[name]-[hash][ext]',
    screens: {
      tiny: 460,
      small: 720,
      medium: 920,
      large: 1200,
      huge: 1600,
      full: 1900,
    },
  },
}

Would be really helpful If anyone with Nuxt experience could try to explain this behaviour to me. The documentation of Nuxt Image is pretty limited in my opinion.

NFL Week 8 Recap: Give Aaron a Chance
Well, Week 8 is over. We're just about half way through the NFL Season. What do we know?
Some teams are surprisingly struggling (Jacksonville, Green Bay, Atlanta). Heck, even the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles are 4-4.
Then we have the teams we knew would be good (New England, both LA teams, Pittsburgh).
We have a few surprisingly good team (New Orleans, Kansas City).
For you KC fans, don't act like you knew Mahomes would be this good.
Then, we've got the teams playing for that coveted number one pick in next year's draft (San Francisco, Arizona, NY Giants, Oakland, Cleveland, Buffalo).
Lastly, there's everyone else just kind of in the middle of all that.
Here's the game-by-game recap of Week 8.
Miami Dolphins 23
Houston Texans 42
Problem number one for the Dolphins: Danny Amendola had more TD passes than starting QB Brock Osweiler. Problem number two: they allowed Deshaun Watson to torch them for five TDs.
The Fish are starting to play the way we all expected them to.
Philadelphia Eagles 24
Jacksonville Jaguars 18
It's not a good sign (or game plan) when Blake Bortles has to throw over 40 passes. While he didn't turn the ball over, he only managed one TD pass. The Jags running game was also nonexistent as Bortles led the team in rushing. Carson Wentz, on the other hand, had a solid day. Philly sits in second place in the NFC East, so they'll likely continue to rely on Wentz to get the job done.
Baltimore Ravens 21
Carolina Panthers 36
Don't look now, but the Panthers are only a game back of the Saints in the NFC South. Cam Newton continues to lead this team to victory. Having Christian McCaffrey helps, but give Cam credit. He's playing solid football. The Ravens could have moved to 5-3 and be in second place in the AFC North, but instead they're .500 and in third.
Gif credit to Giphy
New York Jets 10
Chicago Bears 24
The Bears are better than the Jets. Anyone surprised? Ok let's move on.
Gif credit to Tenor
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34
Cincinnati Bengals 37
Is the Fitzmagic still flickering? He replaced Jameis Winston after he threw four picks in the game. Fitz attempted a comeback but fell just short. As for Cincy, Joe Mixon had himself a day (21-123-2) rewarding his fantasy owners and helping his team pick up of victory in this shootout.

Seattle Seahawks 28
Detroit Lions 14
Russell Wilson had a very efficient day completing 14 of 17 passes for 248 yards and three TDs. Those all came in the second quarter and proved to be too much for Detroit. Seattle added another score for good measure. Seattle's keeps their hopes of a Wild Card birth alive.
Denver Broncos 23
Kansas City Chiefs 30
This ended up being a closer game than many people expected. Mahomes and the Chiefs continue to show off their potent offense. A little credit should be given to the Broncos for trying to mount a comeback, but the Chiefs had a big enough cushion. We might have seen Demaryius Thomas' final game in a Broncos uniform as he could be heading elsewhere before Tuesday's trade deadline.
Washington Redskins 20
New York Giants 13
Adrian Peterson must have found the fountain of youth. He ran all over the G-Men (26-149-1). AP added a receiving score just for fun. Outside of Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham, the Giants are bad. Like real bad. Who else will they sell in their obvious rebuild?
Cleveland Browns 18
Pittsburgh Steelers 33
Cleveland got out to a nice start scoring the first six points of the game. James Conner continues to prove the Steelers aren't missing Le'Veon Bell. Antonio Brown also scored twice. The Steelers look like they're trending the right way.
Indianapolis Colts 42
Oakland Raiders 28
Blah…blah…blah…Khalil Mack…
The Raiders suck.
San Francisco 49ers 15
Arizona Cardinals 18
Let's all welcome back Larry Fitzgerald to fantasy relevancy. Other than that, this was a game between two cellar-dwellers.
Los Angeles Rams 29
Ty Montgomery, what are you doing bringing that ball out of the end zone? You've got one of the best QBs ever and plenty of time left on the clock. Just take the touchback. Aaron Rodgers could have taken down Goliath, but you just had to make a play. How did that work out for you?
New Orleans Saints 30
Minnesota Vikings 20
This wasn't exactly the shootout that a lot of people (especially fantasy owners) hoped for. Brees only threw for 120 yards, and he also threw his first INT of the year. Somehow, the Saints still pulled it out. Kirk Cousins completed his part of the shootout, but it wasn't enough.
New England Patriots 25
Buffalo Bills 6
No one expected the Bills to put up much of a fight and they didn't. What's more surprising is that New England didn't score more. Tom Brady also didn't throw a TD pass. Obviously, it wasn't needed. The Bill are awful.
Lessons learned in Week 8:
It's still very much an offensive league, unless you're Arizona, San Fran, the Jets, or Jacksonville.
Patrick Mahomes is a legit MVP candidate.
Fitzmagic could be coming back.
Khalil Mack didn't even play this week, and he still had a better game than the Raiders.
If you have Aaron Rodgers, give him a chance to win the game.

Certificate Description
Taught by certified instructors and includes classroom and behind-the-wheel training.
Tuition includes Department of Transportation (DOT) physical, temporary commercial driver's license (CDL) learner permit, CDL, truck usage, and fuel. The process for obtaining a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is established primarily by the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles, Driver License Division. Professional Truck Driving students receive 60 hours of classroom and lab training to prepare them to obtain a temporary student driver permit. This test is administered by the Driver License Division at their Brigham City location. Upon successfully passing the test and obtaining a Department of Transportation (DOT) physical, a "learner permit" is issued by the Driver's License Division and students are then eligible to participate in "over-the-road" training.
The next portion of training consists of a minimum of 135 hours in the classroom, 60 hours of lab training, and 45 hours of behind-the-wheel training. Upon successful completion of the training program, students must pass an over-the-road driving test to obtain a license. The driving test may be taken with any "third-party tester." For the convenience of the students, Bridgerland Technical College has a "third-party tester" on staff.
Upon successfully passing this driving test, students may obtain a complete Commercial Driver's License (CDL) from the state of Utah Driver License Division.
Train with State-of-the-Art Equipment! Students can get their first taste of the open road before ever leaving the classroom. The TransSim VS Training Simulator was paid for with a $99,900 USDA Rural Business Enterprise Development Grant, and comes fully loaded with three large simulation screens and everything from both standard and automatic transmission to adjustable seat and mirrors.
The simulator comes with tools to improve both the quality and safety training of the Commerical Driver's License (CDL) Certification. The certification also features a number of simulated driving situations that spontaneously challenge the students with conditions like fog, slick roads, blown tires, and sudden lane changes, all designed to teach students to react well when such scenarios suddenly occur in real life.
Even though the simulator is a much safer way to train and prepare students, the College also requires extensive practice in the parking lot "driving range" before getting out on the road.

Erendira was bathing her grandmother when the wind of her misfortune began to blow. The enormous mansion of moon like concrete lost in the solitude of the desert trembled down to its foundations with the first attack. But Erendira and her grandmother were used to the risks of the wild nature there, and in the bathroom decorated with a series of peacocks and childish mosaics of Roman baths they scarcely paid any attention to the caliber of the wind.
The grandmother, naked and huge in the marble tub, looked like a handsome white whale. The granddaughter had just turned fourteen and was languid, soft-boned, and too meek for her age. With a parsimony that had something like sacred rigor about it, she was bathing her grandmother with water in which purifying herbs and aromatic leaves had been boiled, the latter clinging to the succulent back, the flowing metal-colored hair, and the powerful shoulders which were so mercilessly tattooed as to put sailors to shame.
"Last night I dreamt I was expecting a letter," the grandmother said.
From the essay "Treasure Hunting" by Umberto Eco; collected in Inventing the Enemy (translation by Richard Dixon).
The following phrases appear in The New York Times list of "100 Notable Books of 2018." There is one phrase culled from each blurb on the list.
If, after our historically discontinuous examples of the paranoid style, we now take the long jump to the contemporary right wing, we find some rather important differences from the nineteenth-century movements. The spokesmen of those earlier movements felt that they stood for causes and personal types that were still in possession of their country—that they were fending off threats to a still established way of life. But the modern right wing…feels dispossessed: America has been largely taken away from them and their kind, though they are determined to try to repossess it and to prevent the final destructive act of subversion. The old American virtues have already been eaten away by cosmopolitans and intellectuals; the old competitive capitalism has been gradually undermined by socialistic and communistic schemers; the old national security and independence have been destroyed by treasonous plots, having as their most powerful agents not merely outsiders and foreigners as of old but major statesmen who are at the very centers of American power. Their predecessors had discovered conspiracies; the modern radical right finds conspiracy to be betrayal from on high.

As we discovered in the introduction to this lab manual, plate tectonics is the model or theory that we use to understand how our planet works. More specifically it is a model that explains the origins of continents and oceans, folded rocks and mountain ranges, igneous and metamorphic rocks, earthquakes, volcanoes, and continental drift. Plate tectonics was first proposed just over 100 years ago, but did not become an accepted part of geology until about 50 years ago. It took 50 years for this theory to be accepted for a few reasons. First, it was a true revolution in thinking about Earth, and that was difficult for many established geologists to accept. Second, there was a political gulf between the main proponent of the theory Alfred Wegener (from Germany) and the geological establishment of the day, which was mostly centred in Britain and the United States. Third, the evidence and understanding of Earth that would have supported plate tectonic theory simply didn't exist until the middle of the 20th century. Before we delve into the details of plate tectonics, we need to examine some historical context to understand how this theory developed over the course of the 20th century.
Most of the key evidence for plate tectonics came from studying the ocean floor. Before 1900, we knew virtually nothing about the bathymetry and geology of the oceans. By the end of the 1960s, we had detailed maps of the topography of the ocean floors, a clear picture of the geology of ocean floor sediments and the solid rocks underneath them, and almost as much information about the geophysical nature of ocean rocks as of continental rocks. Some of the most influential discoveries by geoscientists in the 20th century that have shaped modern plate tectonic theory are briefly summarized below.
The 1920s to 1950s
Figure 1.1.1: Depiction of a ship-borne acoustic depth sounder. The instrument emits a sound (black arcs) that bounces off the seafloor and returns to the surface (white arcs). The travel time is proportional to the water depth.
Development of acoustic depth sounders to map the ocean floor (Figure 1.1.1) leads to discovery of major mountain chains in all of the world's oceans. During and after World War II, there was a well-organized campaign to study the oceans, and by 1959, sufficient bathymetric data had been collected to produce detailed maps of all the oceans (Figure 1.1.2).
The important physical features of the ocean floor are:
Extensive linear ridges (commonly in the central parts of the oceans) with water depths in the order of 2,000 to 3,000 m (Figure 1.1.2, inset a)
Fracture zones perpendicular to the ridges (inset a)
Deep-ocean plains at depths of 5,000 to 6,000 m (insets a and d)
Relatively flat and shallow continental shelves with depths under 500 m (inset b)

With developments of networks of
seismograph stations
in the 1950s, it became possible to plot the locations and depths of both major and minor earthquakes with great accuracy. It was found that there is a remarkable correspondence between earthquakes and both the mid-ocean ridges and the deep ocean trenches. In 1954 Gutenberg and Richter showed that the ocean-ridge earthquakes were all relatively shallow, and confirmed what had first been shown by Benioff in the 1930s — that earthquakes in the vicinity of ocean trenches were both shallow and deep, but that the deeper ones were situated progressively farther inland from the trenches (Figure 1.1.3).

Another key component in the case for plate tectonics came from studies of
remnant magnetism
in the rocks that make up the ocean crust. Usually, remnant magnetism is caused by the presence of ferrous (unoxidized) iron on the seafloor, often from a volcanic rock containing grains of magnetite (Fe3O4), a highly magnetic mineral. As the mineral magnetite crystallizes from magma, it becomes magnetized with an orientation parallel to that of Earth's magnetic field at that time. Rocks like basalt, which cool from a high temperature and commonly have relatively high levels of magnetite (up to 1 or 2%), are particularly susceptible to being magnetized in this way, but even sediments and sedimentary rocks, as long as they have small amounts of magnetite, will take on remnant magnetism because the magnetite grains gradually become reoriented following deposition.
Figure 1.1.4: Pattern of seafloor magnetism off of the west coast of British Columbia and Washington.
In the 1950s, scientists from the Scripps Oceanographic Institute in California persuaded the U.S. Coast Guard to include
readings on one of their expeditions to study ocean floor topography. The first comprehensive seafloor
paleomagnetic
data set was compiled in 1958 for an area off the coast of B.C. and Washington State. This survey revealed a bewildering pattern of low and high magnetic intensity in seafloor rocks (Figure 1.1.4). When the data were first plotted on a map in 1961, nobody understood them — not even the scientists who collected them. But these paleomagnetic data became a key piece of evidence for
seafloor spreading
In 1960, Harold Hess, a widely respected geologist from Princeton University, advanced a theory with many of the elements that we now accept as
. Hess proposed that:
new sea floor was generated from mantle material at the ocean ridges,
old sea floor was dragged down at the ocean trenches and re-incorporated into the mantle,
plate tectonics are driven by mantle convection currents, rising at the ridges and descending at the trenches (Figure 1.1.5),
the less-dense continental crust did not descend with oceanic crust into trenches, but that colliding land masses were thrust up to form mountains.
Figure 1.1.5: A representation of Harold Hess's model for seafloor spreading and subduction.
Hess's theory formed the basis for our ideas on
, but it did not deal with the concept that the crust is made up of specific
. Although the Hess model was not roundly criticized, it was not widely accepted (especially in the U.S.), partly because it was not well supported by hard evidence.
In 1963, J. Tuzo Wilson of the University of Toronto proposed the idea of a
mantle plume
—a place where hot mantle material rises in a stationary and semi-permanent plume, and affects the overlying crust. He based this hypothesis partly on the distribution of the Hawaiian and Emperor Seamount island chains in the Pacific Ocean (Figure 1.1.6). The volcanic rock making up these islands gets progressively younger toward the southeast, culminating with the island of Hawaii itself, which consists of rock that is almost all younger than 1 Ma. Wilson suggested that a stationary plume of hot upwelling mantle material is the source of the Hawaiian volcanism, and that the ocean crust of the Pacific Plate is moving toward the northwest over this hot spot. Near the Midway Islands, the chain takes a pronounced change in direction, from northwest-southeast for the Hawaiian Islands and to nearly north-south for the Emperor Seamounts. This change is widely ascribed to a change in direction of the Pacific Plate moving over the stationary mantle plume, but a more plausible explanation is that the Hawaiian mantle plume has not actually been stationary throughout its history, and in fact moved at least 2,000 km south over the period between 81 and 45 Ma.[1]
In addition to his contributions on mantle plumes and plate motion, Wilson also introduced the idea that the crust can be divided into a series of rigid plates in a 1965 paper, and thus he is responsible for the term
Figure 1.1.6: The ages of the Hawaiian Islands and the Emperor Seamounts in relation to the location of the Hawaiian mantle plume.
Practice Exercise 1.1 Volcanoes and the Rate of Plate Motion
The Hawaiian and Emperor volcanoes shown in Figure 1.1.6 are listed in the table below along with their ages and their distances from the centre of the mantle plume under Hawaii (the Big Island).
Ages of Hawaiian and Emperor volcanoes and their distances from the centre of the mantle plume. Calculate their rate of movement in centimetres per year.
Hawaii 0 Ma 0 km –
Necker 10.3 Ma 1,058 km 10.2 cm/y
Midway 27.7 Ma 2,432 km
Koko 48.1 Ma 3,758 km
Suiko 64.7 Ma 4,860 km
Plot the data on Figure 1.1.7, and use the numbers in the table to estimate the rates of plate motion for the Pacific Plate in cm/year. (The first two are plotted for you.)
Figure 1.1.7: Graph of hot spot volcano age (millions of years, Ma) against distance (km).
There is evidence of many such mantle plumes around the world (Figure 1.1.8). Most are within the ocean basins—including places like Hawaii, Iceland, and the Galapagos Islands—but some are under continents. One example is the Yellowstone hot spot in the west-central United States, and another is the one responsible for the Anahim Volcanic Belt in central British Columbia. It is evident that mantle plumes are very long-lived phenomena, lasting for at least tens of millions of years, possibly for hundreds of millions of years in some cases.

I am dedicated to giving my patients the best possible care and to get them out of pain and on the road to good health as quickly as possible. I aim to diagnose the cause of the particular problem and address that cause and not just the symptoms. I do not see my patients three times a week for 6 months. My goal is to get you out of pain as fast as possible while concentrating on what caused that pain and making both the proper structural changes and showing you important stretches and exercises to prevent the pain from reoccuring.
I specialize in (ART) Active Release technique. ART is a form of myofascial release. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.
I also offer Spinal Decompression Therapy to patients with severe back or neck pain caused by herniated discs, Degenerative Disc Disease, and Spinal Stenosis. We're often able to reverse the process and prevent potentially dangerous surgeries in even the most severe cases.

Safety Cameras Program
Safety Cameras Program - Infractions
What are red light cameras and how do they work?
Red light cameras help communities enforce traffic laws by automatically photographing vehicles whose drivers run red lights. The cameras are activated by sensors which are located at the intersection. The cameras are only activated when a vehicle is detected by the sensors after the light has turned red. The camera takes two digital photos which document the infraction.
The program operates 24 hours a day seven days a week and operates in all weather conditions. The system is only activated when a vehicle runs a red light and all intersections with red light cameras are clearly marked. The Fife Police Department reviews every infraction before the infraction is issued. Infractions contain images of the infraction vehicle before it enters the intersection, while it is in the intersection, and the license plate.
1. What is the City of Fife safety camera program?
In 2007 the City recognized the value of implementing an automated traffic enforcement program in furtherance of City goals and created a safer environment for its citizens by enacting Ordinance Number 1629-07.
Fife Municipal Code 10.60.020 Authorized use of automated traffic safety cameras in the following manner:
Law enforcement officers of the City and persons commissioned by the police chief are authorized to use automated traffic cameras and related automated systems to detect stoplight infractions at two-arterial intersections.
The use of automated traffic cameras is subject to the following restrictions:
Use of traffic safety cameras is restricted to stoplight infractions occurring at two-arterial intersections (the intersections of two arterial streets).
Automated traffic cameras may only take pictures of the vehicle and the vehicle license plate and only while an infraction is occurring. Pictures taken by automated traffic safety cameras may not reveal the face of the driver or of the passengers in the vehicle.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all photographs, microphotographs, or electronic images prepared under this chapter are for the exclusive use of law enforcement in the discharge of duties under this chapter and are not open to the public and may not be used in a court in a pending action or proceeding unless the action or proceeding relates to an infraction under this chapter. No photograph, microphotograph, or electronic image may be used for any purpose other than enforcement of infractions under this chapter nor retained longer than necessary to enforce this chapter.
The City shall clearly mark all locations where automated traffic safety cameras are in use by placing signs in locations that clearly indicate to a driver that he or she is entering a zone where traffic laws are enforced by an automated traffic safety camera.
For the purposes of this chapter, automated traffic safety camera means a device that uses a vehicle sensor installed to work in conjunction with an intersection traffic control system and a camera synchronized to automatically record one or more sequenced photographs, microphotographs or electronic images of the rear of a motor vehicle at the time the vehicle fails to stop when facing a steady red traffic control signal.
2. What are red light cameras and how do they work?
3. Is red light running really a problem?
Red light running is one of the major causes of collisions, deaths and injuries at signalized intersections in the U.S. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 20% of drivers do not obey intersection signals. Crashes caused by red light running result in more than 800 fatalities and 165,000 injuries each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The economic impact of red light running on society is estimated to be $14 billion annually. Other motorists and pedestrians account for nearly half the deaths caused by red light running crashes.
4. If I am already in the intersection when a light turns red, will I get a infraction?
No, infractions are only issued when a vehicle enters the intersection after the light has turned red. If you enter the intersection on a green or yellow light, you will not be photographed by the camera system.
5. Does the City of Fife use standard yellow signal phase times?
Yes. The City of Fife sets its signal timing in accordance with International Municipal Signal Association (IMSA) and Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) guidelines. Fife's signal control hardware is individually tested and approved by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) laboratories.
6. Did the system "speed up" the signal cycle once it sensed I was there?
No. The red light camera system has no effect on the speed of the signal cycle.
7. At a red light, do I have to stop twice: once before the stop line and once after?
You only need to stop once, before the stop bar and wait until the traffic light turns green and there is no crossing traffic before you move ahead. If you are turning right, you may turn after coming to a complete stop if it is safe and if there is no sign prohibiting the turn on a red light.
8. How long do I have to stay stopped at a red light before turning right?
After coming to a complete stop you can proceed right if it is safe to do so and there is no sign prohibiting the turn on a red light.
9. What does the city do with the money received from red light infractions?
The City of Fife has established a public safety fund to segregate monies derived from the photo red light enforcement program. Expenditures from the public safety fund may only be used for the purpose of paying for costs of the red light enforcement program, including the City's administrative costs; provided, however, if there are surplus monies in the fund then the surplus monies may only be expended for the following purposes:
Purchase and installation of school zone signs and lights
Pedestrian overpass/underpass design and construction costs
Sidewalk design and construction costs
Streetlight acquisition: operation and maintenance
Signalized pedestrian crosswalks
The design and construction of similar pedestrian safety oriented improvements
10. Will intersections that have red light cameras be publicized?
Yes, please see below:
Alexander Avenue SB and Pacific Highway
Alexander Avenue EB and Pacific Highway
54th Avenue and 20th Street - SB
Valley Avenue and 70th Avenue WB
Valley Avenue and 70th Avenue EB
54th Avenue NB and Pacific Highway WB
11. Where can I go to learn more about the rules of the road?
The Washington State Department of Licensing publishes the Washington Driver Guide.
Page 24 contains the information on red traffic lights. It reads:
A steady red traffic light means stop. You must wait until the traffic light turns green and there is no crossing traffic before you move ahead. If you are turning right, you may turn after coming to a full stop if it is safe and if there is no sign prohibiting the turn on a red light.
12. Where can I get additional information about red light enforcement?
You can read about automated traffic enforcement in Title 10 - Vehicles and Traffic in the Fife Municipal Code.
13. Where can I get additional information about red light enforcement online?
Read the How Red-light Cameras Work and Running the Red Light articles.
14. Where can I get information about how a signal works online?
Read How does a traffic light detect that a car has pulled up and is waiting for the light to change? .

Faculty committee set to review tenure process
By William Gordon|December 9, 2016
Markle Hall of Administration (Hana Isihara '17).
Over the course of next semester, a faculty committee has been charged with reviewing the president's involvement in the tenure process after national controversy over a tenure denial earlier this semester.
The seven-member ad hoc group plans to look at four areas of the process: defining "compelling reasons," the timeline of tenure cases in the case of a president's disagreement with faculty recommendations, the procedure for that presidential nonconcurrence and when the president may deny early consideration of tenure for faculty members.
Elected chair of the committee and professor Susan Basow said the committee hopes to present its recommendations to the faculty in May. Any changes to the faculty handbook that the committee proposes must receive final approval by the Lafayette College Board of Trustees.
This new move for revision comes after Spanish professor Juan Rojo made national news by going on a six-day hunger strike in late August to protest his tenure denial and the tenure process. Although he was denied tenure for the third and final time in September, his hunger strike highlighted what many faculty members see as problems in the tenure review process.
Among those concerns is defining "compelling reasons," a phrase in the Faculty Handbook that describes when the president cannot concur with a positive tenure decision. In Rojo's case, he received nearly unanimous approval from both the Promotion, Tenure and Review committee and his department committee, but President Alison Byerly vetoed that decision, citing what she called a lack of "distinction" in his student-teacher evaluations.
"I think the Juan Rojo situation, along with other kinds of things that have happened, it was just sort of a lightning rod for a variety of areas of concerns that has caused I think a decrease in morale and lots of worries on the parts of people, and that worry detracts from their doing their best job," Basow said.
The parts of the tenure process up for review have not received any major revisions since the 1999-2000 academic year, when Clerk of the Faculty Robert Root said the college had an "acrimonious appeals process."
In the beginning of the spring semester, the committee plans to hold open meetings with untenured faculty, tenured faculty and faculty who have served on PTR and the Appeals and Grievance committees. The ad hoc committee also plans to have Byerly involved in conversations about the revisions, along with representatives of the board of trustees.
Besides Basow, the committee includes professors Ethan Berkove, Alan Childs, Brett Hendrickson, Chawne Kimber and Mary Roth, along with Dean of the Faculty Robin Rinehart as a representative of the administration.

Government has developed a fool proof strategy to divert (most) attention from its frenetic fumbling of the economy that they had successfully put on full-throttle reverse.
The Job Summit's rehearsed pitches and agreements to create jobs (almost as if jobs can be manufactured like overalls), to minimise retrenchments and to buy local, reminds one of the annual retirement village talent concert: nothing new, innovative or inspiring. Rather old hat. It solicited respectful applause, but thankfully Nhlanhla Nene (ably assisted by Julius Malema and by the grace of the Guptas) diverted attention from the dreary Summit.
One has to give it to the ANC: just as the Job Summit was obscured by sheNenegans, the previous big building block – the Emergency Stimulus Package – was enveloped by a court verdict releasing thick aromatic clouds of "Personal stimulus by zol". That high successfully obscured the regurgitating of empty promises of yesterday's infrastructure development plans.

Well, you have to admit, in this "age" of "No Age Statement", its a breath of fresh air, only 10 years old but with a vintage, bottled in 2013 at cask strength, numbered series of 710 units, matured in a Port pipe, and most important, its very very good! Try it. Slightly pricey for the age but... It even comes in the wood box!


Crazy how scarce time is when you have a little one but I finally made time to write up this review on the DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne.
Owned by M&L Hospitality of Singapore and managed by Hilton, both businesses have ambitious growth plans in Australia. M&L is currently undertaking a AU$320 million redevelopment and expansion of the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Sydney overlooking Darling Harbour, and it also owns amongst others the Swissotel Sydney and Travelodge Docklands.
On the other hand, Hilton Worldwide operates more than 400 DoubleTree hotels across 33 countries which are generally priced below and smaller than the flagship Hilton hotels. This latest Melbourne property is the fourth DoubleTree hotel opening in just two years and there are plans to double this.
Launched in December 2014 following a multi-million dollar refurbishment of the former Citigate Hotel on Flinders Street, conveniently across Flinders Street Station, the DoubleTree by Hilton is a welcomed addition to the Hilton portfolio and Melbourne City. Centrally located, this 180-room hotel took inspiration from Melbourne's famous laneways and Flinders Street station for its sleek industrial retro design.
The complete refurbishment from head to toe, inside and out, led by Michael McCann of Dreamtime Australia Design and Melbourne based interior designer Melissa Chen of Mill Interior saw the duo shortlisted for two major international interior design awards, the 2015 World Interior News Awards and the 2015 Interior Design Excellence Awards.
Steel panels that feature at the hotel entrance and throughout the lobby give it an industrial feel but a signature warm chocolate chip cookie on arrival immediately melts the coolness away and creates a home away from home touch.
No detail was spared in refurbishment from textured wall covering, carpets, curved headboards to the black and white photography. The King Guest Room is perfectly functional but if you were travelling with a few pieces of luggage and like to unpack everything, then the wardrobe space is on the light side. The black and white bathroom is spacious, inviting and complemented by Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries.
Inside the DoubleTree Melbourne, there's an onsite restaurant and bar – Platform 270 – for all day dining or opt for room service. Dinner was average but convenient enough particularly if you bump into one of Melbourne's wet and cold nights. The buffet breakfast offered plenty of variety, from your hot foods to a selection of pastries and fresh juice, coffee or tea. If Platform 270 doesn't fit your appetite, there's an abundance of restaurants and food outlets around the hotel.
Overall, the DoubleTree by Hilton Melbourne is a great addition to the Melbourne business/leisure hotel market, and even better for Hilton Honor members. With the exit of the Albert Park Hotel (now Pullman), the only other Hilton option is the Hilton South Wharf, whilst close, it's not in the CBD. You can't fault the DoubleTree's convenient location, add a successful multi-million dollar renovation, reasonable prices, and good service, that's a recipe for success.

Riley Jack Tufte (born April 10, 1998) is an American professional ice hockey player currently playing with the Texas Stars in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL). He formerly played for the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League (USHL), and played college ice hockey for the University of Minnesota Duluth. Tufte was drafted in the first round, 25th overall, of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars.

Playing career

Minors and college
Tufte played for Blaine High School in Minnesota, where he was awarded the 2015–16 Mr. Hockey Award in his senior year after he led all of Minnesota Class AA in goals scored. He also played two seasons for the Fargo Force of the USHL, accumulating 19 points in 34 games, before deciding to go back to high school for his senior year. In March 2016, Tufte was invited to Team USA's 2016 National Junior Evaluation Camp, to prepare for the 2016 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, however he broke his wrist during camp and could not play. Despite this, Tufte became the highest NHL draft pick in the history of the Fargo Force when he was drafted in the first round of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Instead of going pro right away, Tufte decided to pursue higher education at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Tufte missed the beginning of his freshman season due to an injury but he completed the season with 16 points. He was off to a stronger start in his sophomore season, leading the team in scoring as they advanced through the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship.

Professional
On April 17, 2019, Tufte signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars after the conclusion of his junior collegiate season.

International play
Tufte's played in both the 2014 Under-17 Five Nations Cup and the 2014 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. He helped Team USA place second in the 2014 Under-17 Five Nations Cup.

Tufte competed in the 2015 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament for Team USA, who finished fifth in the tournament. He later competed at the 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships where he helped Team USA secure a bronze medal.

Personal life
Tufte was born and grew up in Coon Rapids, Minnesota with three siblings, his father Jamie, and mother Amy, who is a nurse. At the age of 11, Tufte was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. As a child, he received an inspirational letter from retired NHL player Toby Petersen who also suffered from diabetes. In February of 2020 Riley and his wife, Morgan, welcomed their first son.

How much input do we have for the music that is played?
Full control! If you would like to pick out every single song during the day, be our guest. However, most couples don't wont to coordinate 5+ hours of music so if you gives us an idea of what you like, we can fill in the rest.
Why don't you play full songs during the dance party?
Grandmaster Flash, one of the forefather's of DJ'ing put it best, "In the early days, a DJ use to play a record from start to finish. And which, like you know, I felt that it was kind of boring to look at or even to listen to. So what I would do is pick the most climatic part or the funkiest or strongest part of the record and play that in sync. I don't think it's totally fair to start the record from the beginning and then wait for it to end and mix the next record in. You're not doing no work. If you're gonna do work, do work."
With pleasure! Depending on your location, we might need one or two nights accommodations and reimbursement for travel. We are based out of East Petersburg, PA and if driving, calculate milage using Google Maps.
Absolutely! We're all very comfortable on the microphone having been in theater, bands and other live productions, we're use to talking in front of large groups. We'll say what needs to be said and leave the bad jokes for your uncle.

January 2013: On Instrument Wave Front Sensor (OIWFS) is unavailable due to a faulty sensor.
October 2012: New 'LGS+P1' guide mode is now operational, allowing 'seeing improver' AO correction with essentially 100% sky coverage.
NIFS shares the up-looking port with other instruments. Instrument swaps are determined on the basis of RA demand of the successful programs and therefore proposers should only limit their target lists to the general semester availability (see the current call for proposals for further details).
NIFS is available for 3D spectroscopy with or without ALTAIR (NGS or LGS).
Coronagraphy: Only the 0."2 and 0."5 masks are available. The 0".1 occulting mask, although visible in the OT, is not currently offered for general observations.
