Does it ever snow in the Amazon rainforest?
It does not snow in the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon rainforest is one example of a tropical rainforest.
Does the rainforest have winter?
Tropical rainforest areas do not experience seasons like summer, winter, spring or autumn. Instead, seasons in tropical rainforests are categorized into dry and wet season.
How cold can a rainforest get?
Temperature and Weather in the Amazon Rainforest
The temperatures of the Amazon rainforest can reach highs of up to 91 degrees Fahrenheit and sometimes drop to as low as 71 degrees Fahrenheit at night. But temperatures don't tell the whole story.
What is the rainforest like in the winter?
As winter settles in on the Midwest, dramatic changes are everywhere. Leaves have fallen off the trees; a brisk, frigid wind sweeps through the streets. In the morning, plants, trees, and buildings are pale and sparkly with the frost that descends at night.
Do jungles ever get cold?
The subsequent increase in humidity in forest areas makes the cool weather seem more penetrating, as jungle temperatures fall to below 15 degrees Centigrade (59 Fahrenheit).
Why does it rain so much in rainforests?
Since tropical rainforests have so many plants, there's a ton of transpiration. When you get that much water vapor hovering over rainforests, it's bound to rain a lot. ... In sum, tropical rainforests only exist in areas of high rainfall, but they also cause more precipitation through transpiration.
Are rainforest hot or cold?
The rainforest biome remains warm all year and must stay frost-free. The average daily temperatures range from 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F).
What is the coldest month in the Amazon rainforest?
The warmest months in the Amazon rainforest are March, July, September and November, with an average temperature of 29ºC. The coldest month in the UK is February, with an average temperature of 2ºC. The coldest month in the Amazon rainforest is August, with an average temperature of 26ºC.
What is the climate like in rainforests?
The climate in tropical rain forests is constantly warm and moist. The average rainfall in most rain forests is very heavy, about 200–450 centimeters (80–180 inches) per year. Some areas, however, get as much as 1000 centimeters (400 inches) of rain per year!
Are there seasons in tropical?
Because of all that sun, the tropics don't experience the kind of seasons the rest of the Earth does. The tropical seasons are broken up into just two: the wet season and the dry season. The amount of rain can vary greatly from one area of the tropics to another.
Are deserts hot or cold?
Although some deserts are very hot, with daytime temperatures as high as 54°C (130°F), other deserts have cold winters or are cold year-round. And most deserts, far from being empty and lifeless, are home to a variety of plants, animals, and other organisms.
What is the average temperature in the rainforest in the winter?
The main plants in this biome are trees. This is important because in the rain forest, some rain never gets past the trees and to the smaller plants and ground below. Trees in this climate reach a height of more than 164 feet. They form a canopy.
Does it snow in Egypt?
When does it Snow in Egypt? Snow is a rare spectacle in Egypt. Most regions in Egypt experience warm but rainy winters; the mountainous areas are the only exception as they experience chilly temperatures and the occasional snowfall.
Why doesn't Brazil have snow?
It is very hot as well as cold in Brazil. The average temperature of Brazil is between 18°C to 28°C throughout the year. This kind of temperature is not suitable for snowfall. Thus, snowfall doesn't always occur in Brazil.
Does it snow in Florida?
It is very rare for snow to fall in the U.S. state of Florida, especially in the central and southern portions of the state. ... Due to Florida's low latitude and subtropical climate, temperatures low enough to support significant snowfall are infrequent and their duration is fleeting.
Does it rain everyday in rainforest?
In general, tropical rainforests have hot and humid climates where it rains virtually everyday. ... Temperatures vary through the year - but much less than the rainfall. The graph shows average rainfall and temperature in Manaus, Brazil, in the Amazon rainforest. The rainy season is from December to May.
How much rain does a rainforest get a month?
Description. Tropical rain forests have a type of tropical climate in which there is no dry season—all months have an average precipitation value of at least 60 mm (2.4 in). There are no distinct wet or dry seasons as rainfall is high throughout the months.
How many days a year does it rain in the Amazon rainforest?
In fact, along with generally hot and humid weather, rain is pretty much a staple of the climate in the Amazon Rainforest, with 12ft (4m) of rainfall a year on average. That equates to approximately 200 rainy days, which means that there will be days of heavy rain no matter when you visit.
What do rainforests look like?
A rain forest is simply an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. ... A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth's oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years.
Why are rainforests near the equator?
Tropical rainforests are found near the equator due to the amount of rainfall and the amount of sunshine these areas receive. Most tropical rainforests fall between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. ... The high temperatures means that evaporation happens at a fast rate, resulting in frequent rainfall.
What is the biggest rainforest in the world?
The Amazon is the world's largest rainforest. It's home to more than 30 million people and one in ten known species on Earth. See some of this region's splendor in our new video.
Why is it so hot in the rainforest?
As tropical rainforests are located on or close to the Equator, the climate is typically warm and wet. The high rainfall and year-round high temperatures are ideal conditions for vegetation growth. ... The atmosphere in the tropical rainforest is hot and humid as the result of high temperatures and abundance of water.
Why do deserts not get rain?
Why is there no rain in the desert? A desert is a region of land that is very dry because it receives low amounts of precipitation (usually in the form of rain, but it may be snow, mist or fog), often has little coverage by plants, and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside the area.
Do trees attract rain?
Tree leaves also act as interceptors, catching falling rain, which then evaporates causing rain precipitation elsewhere — a process known as evapo-transpiration. By better understanding this process, we may, one day, be able to strategically plant trees that will bring rain to regions that need it most, Ellison said.

1975 BMW Cafe Racer "Custom"
AKA "Maroon 5": Based on a numbers-matching 1975
BMW R75/6, built right here in our shop with great skill and care.
Our passion for motor vehicles is not limited to the 4-wheeled variety, we love European motorcycles too, as you see here.
This is a recently completed custom Cafe Racer based on a numbers-matching 1975 BMW R75/6, built right here in our shop with great skill and care. The donor bike sat long forgotten in a warm but dusty basement and was rescued by us through a chance encounter with its original owner while dining in a crab shanty in Bar Harbor, Maine. While its original paint, seat and perishables were derelict, its bones were in great shape, so we decided that it deserved a new life as a cool street machine. The inspiration came from the legendary BMW factory works RS54 racer, with a modern twist, and with street riding features in mind.
The drive train has 22,000 original miles on it, which means
it's barely broken in. These boxers are well known for traveling over 100,000 miles before needing major service. Many new OEM and NOS parts were used on this build, mostly sourced from MAX BMW, Bob's BMW, Stephanie Meyers and Ulis Motorradladen in Germany. Everything on this bike has basically been refurbished, and works as it should. The engine, trans and rear drive is basically factory stock for reliability. The custom subframe is made of welded DOM steel tubing and welded to the main frame for rigidity.
The seat was custom madefor us by Sargent Cycle. The rear shocks are air-charged adjustable type. The gas tank and fenders are painted with urethane single-stage catalyzed paint, and shine brilliantly. The fuel cap is a custom aluminum monza racing style cap that is vented and gasketed to the tank. All fluids have been recently changed and the front fork rebuilt. The rear fender is a steel BMW fender from a Slash 2 and rides with the swingarm. Sidestand is a heavy duty Flanders unit, much safer and easier to use than the factory original. The new Odyssey battery has been relocated to a secure location below the transmission so it's out of the way.
It has fully functioning turn signals, headlight with european style off/hi/low beam, horn, electric starter, rear view mirrors, great tires, great brakes....everything you need to safely pilot this incredible custom street racer. The engine fires right up and the bike runs out great, the 5-speed transmission shifts as smooth as any airhead.
This is a ride-ready custom cafe racer that has been built with a lot of attention to detail in both the aesthetic and the performance aspects.
Priced to sell, this beautiful custom
machine is available now.

electric clocks
A history of the evolution of electric clocks
E. Synchronization
Abraham Louis Breguet (1747-1823)
As early as 1793 the famous clock and watch maker Breguet devised a system to synchronize watches.
On placing a watch on his fully mechanical master clock, "La Pendule Sympathique", it not only winds the watch, sets its hands to the hour but also adjusts its rate of time. A remarkable achievement! Breguet neither wrote nor published any account of his work and his invention was probably unknown to anyone beyond his immediate circle.
In the watch a separate train is wound independently. The synchronization signal from the master clock lets the setting-train off doing what it has to do.
I do not know how things work in detail.
His grandson Louis Francois Clément Breguet (1804-1883) spent a great deal of his life investigating electricity and its applications. As watchmaker and scientist he set-up a system of electric clocks in Lyon as early as 1856.
In 1866 he built a remarkable mechanical clock in which a 25 cm high tuning fork (invented by the English musician John Shore in 1711) is used to control the release of the escape wheel.
The clock animated here is on display at the Musée International d'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. animation
The same principle would be used nearly a century later by the Swiss engineer Max Hetzel of the Bulova Watch Company to drive their Accutron watches.
In this watch a jewel fixed to one of the tines of a tuning fork, only 25 mm in length, engages an index wheel, 2.4 mm in diameter and carrying 320 teeth.
The tuning fork provides both the right frequency for time keeping and the power to drive the movement while an electronic circuit, powered by a battery, keeps the tuning fork vibrating. animation
No one yet had succeeded in keeping a large number of mechanical clocks in absolute step. The rapid growth of the railways during the middle of the 19th century gave the stimulus to find means of ensuring that clocks did in fact indicate the same time.
R L Jones
A pioneer in synchronizing clocks was R L Jones, stationmaster of Chester. In his patent no.702 of 1857 Jones adopted Bain's system of sympathetic pendulums. A mechanical master clock provided the electric pulses to keep the pendulums of his ordinary key-wound clocks in step. The bob of these key-wound clocks consisted of a coil sliding over two permanent magnets. The electric pulses received from the master clock kept these secondary clocks in harmony with his master clock. He used the tower clock of Chester as master clock providing the electric pulses to control his secondary clocks.
Frederick James Ritchie (1828-1906)
In 1872 James Ritchie, a clockmaker from Edinburgh, also improved Bain's system of sympathetic pendulums (patent no.2078). On the right-hand side we see the pendulum of a secondary clock fitted with a coil passing over two permanent magnets. On the left-hand side is the pendulum of the mechanical master clock. By means of contacts, fitted to the pendulum of the master clock, the coil of the secondary pendulum is energized at each swing keeping it in absolute step with the master clock.
A reverse gravity escapement, connected to the pendulum of the secondary clock, drives the hands of its dial. animation
In 1878 Ritchie also devised a system of synchronization (patent no.333) relying on the use of a self-propelled secondary clock having a slight gaining rate.
A synchronizing current of 15 seconds duration, terminating exactly at the hour is received by the electro-magnet of the secondary clock. Its electro-magnet will pull down an armature holding-up the clock. However, the armature cannot move until the minute hand gets to the hour and the notch in a cam is able to receive the end of the armature. A pin fitted to the other end of the armature then holds-up the clock until the cessation of the current when the armature falls away.
John Alexander Lund
In 1876 Lund took out patent no.3924 for a forcible correction of the minute hand of key-wound secondary clocks.
Left dial: levers force the minute hand to the hour.
Right dial: a V-shaped cam slides upwards forcing the minute hand to the hour by means of a pin fixed to the back of the minute hand.
We have seen some systems in which the hands of secondary clocks are synchronized by a master clock. There were also systems devised that corrected the rate of time of the pendulum.
John Matthias Augustus Stroh (1828-1914)
In 1869 Augustus Stroh, a watchmaker from Furtwangen, Germany, who came to England in 1851and worked for Wheatstone, devised a system that synchronized the rate of time of a pendulum. Stroh would later become well know for his inventions related to musical instruments.
In his patent no.3028 a beam carries on the right a small subsidiary pendulum, counter-balanced by a weight on the left. The suspension spring of the little pendulum passes between fixed jaws and its bob is linked to the pendulum of the clock to be synchronized. A synchronizing signal pulls a feeler connected to the rocking beam over the point of a cam, mounted on the minute wheel of the clock, and so the feeler is pushed up or down dictated by the position of the cam. As a result, the beam is rocked and so the effective length of the subsidiary pendulum is altered.
The use of a short subsidiary pendulum linked to the main pendulum is only a convenient way of diluting the synchronizing effect.
Robert James Rudd (1844-1932)
Another synchronizer that corrects the rate of time of the pendulum (patent no.19337) was invented by Rudd in 1898.
On receiving the synchronizing signal, .
the electro-magnet attracts its armature turning a Z-shaped lever. By means of a C-shaped spring a lever is now reset into whatever position may be dictated by a snail fitted to the second's hand. The Z-shaped lever also releases another lever provided with pins embracing the suspension spring of a subsidiary pendulum.
When this lever is raised or lowered it will alter the effective length of the subsidiary pendulum and so influence the rate of time of the pendulum.

Mental wellness is generally viewed as a positive attribute, such that a person can reach enhanced levels of mental health, even if the person does not have any diagnosed mental health conditions. This definition of mental health highlights emotional wellbeing, the capacity to live a full and creative life, and the flexibility to deal with life's inevitable challenges.
Stress, depression and anxiety can contribute to a host of physical ailments including digestive disorders, sleep disturbances, and lack of energy. Emotional and mental health issues can often be brought on by the strains of life situations, like caring for an older family member, dealing with Alzheimer's disease, suffering the loss of a loved one, juggling the responsibilities of a busy lifestyle or dealing with substance misuse.
In an increasingly difficult world, many people find they struggle with low mood or anxiety. The effect of struggling with these emotions can lead to difficulties in everyday life and in the longer term can affect an individuals' ability to work or socialise and may damage relationships.

Alan Thirtle's Story
Turning the tide on unemployment
Alan Thirtle loves his job on the Thames Tideway Tunnel project but says he never would have got there without the help of H&F's WorkZone.
Alan, a former painter and decorator, is based at the Carnwath Road Riverside works site in Fulham, driving a van there and at other Tideway sites in West London.
"I love it," said Alan of Sands End. "I had always been a painter and decorator but thought it was time for a change."
"I've been driving all my life and I'm really grateful to have been given the opportunity to go on the course for free," he said. "I'm over the moon with the job and it's only a short walk from my house."
When Alan found himself unemployed he was directed to a course created by H&F WorkZone. The two-week course run by City of Westminster College gave Alan the qualifications he needed and the chance to meet his employer.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council funds the courses and other schemes to get people into work by using money which is negotiated from developers when they are granted planning permission.

Q: SQL case statement - 3 clauses? hopefully someone can help with this
I have  a table that looks like the below
ID | Name | Age | GroupID | Services
33 | Pam  | 34  |  334    |   3
33 | Pam  | 34  |  334    |   4
43 | Lily | 56  |  10     |   3
67 | Bob  | 22  |  11     |   4

Notice how Pam has 2 rows as she has 2 different types of services.
How would I write a case statement that would bring  out whether the person in the Name column has either service 3, service 4 or both.
For example my output when querying the above would be
 ID | Name | Age | GroupID | Services | SG
    33 | Pam  | 34  |  334    |   3   | 3 & 4
    33 | Pam  | 34  |  334    |   4   | 3 & 4
    43 | Lily | 56  |  10     |   3   | 3 Only
    67 | Bob  | 22  |  11     |   4   | 4 Only

Thank you all as always

A: Something like this?
Edit: added DISTINCT to avoid cases of 3 & 4 & 4
DECLARE @mockupTable TABLE(ID INT,Name VARCHAR(100),Age INT, GroupID INT,[Services] INT);
INSERT INTO @mockupTable VALUES
  (33,'Pam',34,334,3)
 ,(33,'Pam',34,334,4)
 ,(43,'Lily',56,10,3)
 ,(67,'Bob',22,11,4);

 SELECT t.*
       ,STUFF((
            SELECT DISTINCT ' & ' + CAST(x.[Services] AS VARCHAR(10))
            FROM @mockupTable AS x
            WHERE t.ID=x.ID
            ORDER BY x.[Services]
            FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE
        ).value('.','nvarchar(max)'),1,3,'') AS SG
 FROM @mockupTable AS t;

The result
+----+------+-----+---------+----------+--------------------+
| ID | Name | Age | GroupID | Services | SG                 |
+----+------+-----+---------+----------+--------------------+
| 33 | Pam  | 34  | 334     | 3        | 3 & 4              |
+----+------+-----+---------+----------+--------------------+
| 33 | Pam  | 34  | 334     | 4        | 3 & 4              |
+----+------+-----+---------+----------+--------------------+
| 43 | Lily | 56  | 10      | 3        | 3                  |
+----+------+-----+---------+----------+--------------------+
| 67 | Bob  | 22  | 11      | 4        | 4                  |
+----+------+-----+---------+----------+--------------------+

This is the query if you want to add the  only:
SELECT t.*
        ,STUFF((
            SELECT DISTINCT ' & ' + CAST(x.[Services] AS VARCHAR(10))
            FROM @mockupTable AS x
            WHERE t.ID=x.ID
            ORDER BY x.[Services]
            FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE
        ).value('.','nvarchar(max)'),1,3,'')
        + CASE WHEN COUNT(*) OVER(PARTITION BY ID) = 1 THEN ' Only' ELSE '' END AS SG
    FROM @mockupTable AS t;

A: If you really have just two services 3 and 4 and it can never happen that the same person has the same service twice then I would use
select *, case when (count(*) over (partition by name)) = 2 then '3 & 4'
          else cast(services as varchar) + ' Only' end
from t

dbfiddle demo

A: try This

Analyst says Hamas rockets are not the cause but a response to the occupation.
Bishara said the majority of Gazans are refugees, whose ancestors used to live in what is now Israel.
"Everybody knows that 75 per cent of the people of Gaza are refugees. Everybody knows that Israel disengaged from Gaza militarily, but occupies it economically and politically and also it besieges Gaza militarily.
"Israel would say, "what would any normal country do if they were threatened by rocket fire? They would act".
"But Israel is not a normal country, it is an occupying country, a colonial country and the people of Gaza are under siege."
Bishara said that Palestinians are being punished for choosing Hamas in the January 2006 democratic elections and accused Israeli officials for dramatising their lies.
"Shimon Peres, the Israeli president, should be asked, "What would you do if your house is besieged and you can't feed your child, can't go to school, and can't take them to the doctors and physicians when they are ill.
"I consider Hamas rockets a protest shout, they haven't hurt many, only the few. They are weapons of the poor, used to express their will.
"What brought the war was the siege. When colonial powers have historically gone to occupy countries, siege has always been a weapon. Siege is a military action at the beginning of war.
"When it did not work to break the will of the Palestinian people... Israel realised that the rockets were a response to the siege, and they went to the next phase which was direct military aggression, which is actually now directed against civilians to punish them for their democratic choice.
"What I think will happen is a ceasefire that will mean an end to the siege if the rockets stop. It will happen after the deaths of so many people."


I'm another person that needs help with a Letter of Motivation... It would be great if you had a look at it. I would be very thankful for any comment on the structure, grammar..., also I'm interested in the expression you would have of me after reading the lom.
I am a 25 year old German Sociologist currently working at the X at X. I am writing to you to apply for the Doctoral Program in Sociology at the for X at the University X starting in December 2007.
To attend your Doctoral Program (both in capital letters?) on empirical and quantitative methods is of high interest for me because during my studies of Sociology and Political Sciences at the from 2001 till 2006 I have developed a great interest in empirical social research. While I gained work experience as a student assistant at X from 2001 to 2005 I became awake that I want to start a career as a researcher in the field of empirical social sciences. A first important step towards that goal was obtaining an award from the "X" in November 2005. They funded me for 13 month to work on an expertise about the "Efficiency of the Measurement of Further Education" wherein I compared and evaluated the measurement of further education in four different German surveys. Since this was a part time project I was able to spend three month (May to July 2006) at the Marketing Department at , working as a research assistant on the X Survey Programme. This gave me the opportunity to gather more work experience with a large data set and to improve my English as well in written and spoken in an international environment. Throughout my task on the funded project and on the X data I recognised once more that methodology and quantitative methods are substantial for any social research.
Since January 2007 I am now working as a researcher at X on a project which aims to enhance the quality of the X Survey. Within that project it comes apparent to me again that the use of appropriate methods is crucial to get reliable and valid results exceedingly in the cross-national comparison. Therefore I intend to do my doctoral studies on empirical and quantitative methods whereas my main interest lies in survey methodology for cross-national studies. Thus the topic of my doctoral thesis should be related to a topic dealing with establishment of comparability of data in cross-national surveys. Hence I need a solid education in the fields of empirical and quantitative methods which I expect to obtain in your Doctoral Program.
Additionally I want to mention two more reasons why I have a great interest to gain a doctor's degree in your program. The first is that the training in empirical and quantitative methods at your is combined with their application to business, economics, and the social sciences. Moreover, notwithstanding the decision for one study field, in my case i.e. Sociology, the exchange across the different disciplines is fostered amongst other things through attending to a seminar in a neighbouring field and through the contact to other students who specialise in these other disciplines. A second reason why I appreciate your is the excellent and international orientated research environment. Both the Social Sciences faculty and the cooperating centres are internationally well renowned and house experts in their fields. This and to study in an English speaking environment would provide me with skills which are necessary to compete internationally successful as a researcher.
I honestly feel confident that the Doctor in Sociology with a focus on empirical and quantitative methods would be the best choice for me. Furthermore it would be an honor for me to be a doctoral student at the funded under the "X" as the first of its kind in . Therefore I would be glad of receiving the opportunity to attend the Graduate School of X.
Thank you very much for considering my application. I'm looking forward hearing from you.
please, please help me, I'm afraid to write things which could be missunderstood. I have no other native speaker to read the letter. I don't expect a fully corrected letter, but one of the 22 people who already have read my letter could perhaps write me their expression.
Here is a brief overall comment on structure.
The instructions are to write a statement explaining your current goals, career plans and reasons for being interested in a doctoral program at the University of X. Discuss your study plans and your intended fields of interest.
My current goals are . . .
My long-term career plans include . . .
Your program at X interests me greatly because . .
While at X, I would like to . . .
I think this organization would give your writing more 'focus' and show more that you have an organized mind.
It might also make it easier for people here to review what you write.
thank you so much ! I wrote another version along your proposal but I still left inside the information on my experience cause this is the only way to show what I have done. They don't want to have a CV. I marked the word in orange which express what I want to say in the paragraph. I hope you could have a look on it again.

A first important step towards that goal was obtaining an award from the "X" in December 2005. They funded me for 13 month to work on an expertise about the "X" wherein I compared and evaluated the measurement of further education in four different German surveys. Since this was a part time project I was able to spend three month (May to July 2006) at the Marketing Department at X working as a research assistant on the X Programme. This gave me the opportunity to gather more work experience with large data sets and to improve my English as well in written and spoken in an international environment.
Since January 2007 I am now working as a researcher at X in the X Centre on a project which aims to enhance the quality of the X. Within that project it comes apparent to me that the use of appropriate methods for the development of a survey instrument is crucial to get reliable and valid data, exceedingly in the cross-national comparison. Therefore my current goal is to start the conferral of a doctorate on survey methodology for cross-national studies whereas my doctoral thesis should be related to a topic dealing with establishment of comparability of data in cross-national surveys.
Your Doctoral Program at the University of X interests me greatly because I expect to obtain the solid education in the fields of empirical and quantitative methods which I need to be successful in obtaining a Doctor's degree on a methodological topic of cross-national survey research. Furthermore I appreciate that the training in empirical and quantitative methods at your is combined with their application to business, economics, and the social sciences.

Another reason why I'm interested in becoming one of your students is the excellent and international orientated research environment. Both, the Social Sciences faculty and the cooperating centres are internationally well renowned and house experts in their fields. This and to study in an English speaking environment would give me great support while working on my doctoral thesis and provide me with skills which are necessary to compete internationally successful as a survey researcher.
So, if I'm successful in applying for a place at your Program at the , I would like to deepen my knowledge especially of survey methodology and quantitative methods. Also I'm greatly interested in X as electives because in my opinion an additional knowledge within these research areas would be very beneficial for my doctoral thesis in the field of X research.
I honestly feel confident that your Doctoral Program in Sociology at the for X with a focus on empirical and quantitative methods would be the best choice for me. Furthermore it would be an honor for me to be a doctoral student at the funded under the "X" . Therefore I would be glad of receiving the opportunity to attend the Graduate School of X at the .
I still feel your organization could be 'tighter', more focused, in the way that I suggested. Remember that you can highlight words in orange for me, but you can't do that when you mail this letter to the University.
Do you want to make any more changes to this, or do you just want us to look now at your grammar and English?
you are really fast-thanks! I try to get it tighter, and if I don't get it, It would be great if you could check grammar. But I post again at the end of the day.
PS: I cannot believe how nice and fast you gurus of this forum work-thanks alot!
I made some changes but did not restructure the whole LoM. Could you now please have a look on the grammar (especially with the commas I'm really bad) and my English? I'm so glad that I found your forum-you are great!!!

Q: Iterated modulus of the form $n-(n \bmod k)$ I have a recursion formula $f_{n,k}(0)=n$ and $f_{n,k}(i)=n-f_{n,k}(i-1)\bmod k$ where $n,k$ are positive integers and $k<n$.
I can write for example $f_{n,k}(2) = n-(n- n\bmod k)\bmod k $ but I am wondering whether I can write this in a compact form. Playing around with wolframalpha did not really bring me any insights and using small examples like $n=5$ and $k=2$ gave me the impression that there is a periodic behaviour, e.g., $f_{5,2}(2)=5=f_{5,2}(0)$, or $f_{7,3}(2)=7=f_{7,3}(0)$.
Is there anything general that can be said? And can the $\mathrm{mod}$ structure be reduced?

Oral Answers to Questions
Living Costs (Personal Allowance)
John Howell
(Henley) (Con)
4. What assessment he has made of the effect on living costs of changes to the personal allowance. (161221)
The Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury
(Mr David Gauke)
It was announced in Budget 2013 that the Government would increase the annual personal allowance by a further £560 to £10,000 in April 2014, thus meeting a key coalition commitment a year ahead of schedule. By that date, as a result of the combined effects of all personal allowance increases under this Government, a typical basic-rate taxpayer will have gained by more than £700 a year in cash terms.
Does my hon. Friend agree that the best way of tackling this issue is to put cash into people's pockets, and that taking 2.7 million people out of tax altogether is an excellent way in which to proceed?
Mr Gauke
I do agree. What we have done is quite a contrast with what was done by the last Government, who increased the amount of income tax that some low earners would have to pay by £232. Now the equivalents of those people have been taken out of income tax altogether.
Kevin Brennan
(Cardiff West) (Lab)
If everything is better for the average family, why did the Institute for Fiscal Studies say that the average family was £891 worse off? Was the IFS wrong?
We do not accept those figures. What I will say is that we have been prepared to tackle the biggest deficit in our peacetime history. We have taken measures to put the public finances back on a sustainable footing, with no help from the Labour party, which has opposed every measure that we have taken to do that.
Robert Halfon
(Harlow) (Con)
Is my hon. Friend aware that the Government have taken 3,000 low-income people out of tax altogether in my constituency, and have cut taxes for 40,000 low-income residents? Is this not a Government who are on the side of the poor?
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. He could have added—and I am surprised that he did not do so—that we have taken action on fuel duty as well.

Money in people's pockets is one thing, but since the financial crash, food prices have increased by 18% compared with inflation of 13%. It is not just a question of the money in people's pockets; it is also a question of what they have to pay when they go to the shops. Does the Minister really believe that families in my constituency feel that they are better off?
It is because of the need to deal with the cost of living that we have taken measures such as controlling increases in council tax. That is why fuel duty is lower than it was in the plans that we inherited, and why we have taken the measures that we have taken in regard to the personal allowance. [Interruption.] The shadow Chancellor is muttering about VAT. Let us be clear about this. Labour Members did not vote against VAT; then they said they were against VAT. Last week they said that they would not change VAT; now the shadow Chancellor is complaining about VAT. It is just chaos and confusion from the Labour party.

Q: Time series and instrumental variables I have a time series model that suffers from endogeneity. In other contexts it would be reasonable to use instrumental variables. However, I have not seen this done before with time series. Can I ask if it is valid to use an IV in this context and if there are any examples in the economics literature?

A: Consider a series $Y_t$ generated as an $ARMA(1,1)$ process
$$
Y_t=\phi Y_{t-1}+\epsilon_t+\theta\epsilon_{t-1}
$$
Suppose our interest centers on estimating $\phi$. We have an endogeneity issue here, as the error term $\epsilon_t+\theta\epsilon_{t-1}$ is correlated with the regressor $Y_{t-1}$, so OLS of $Y_{t}$ on $Y_{t-1}$ would not consistently estimate $\phi$:
$$
    \hat{\phi}_{OLS}=\frac{\sum_tY_{t-1}Y_{t}}{\sum_tY_{t-1}^2}=\frac{\frac{1}{T}\sum_tY_{t-1}Y_{t}}{\frac{1}{T}\sum_tY_{t-1}^2}\to_p\frac{\gamma_1}{\gamma_0},
$$
where the convergence in probability follows from standard arguments about plims of $\frac{1}{T}\sum_tY_{t-j}Y_{t-l}$ and the continuous mapping theorem. Now, it is known that
$\gamma_0=\sigma^2\frac{1+\theta^2+2\phi\theta}{1-\phi^2}$ and $\gamma_1=\sigma^2\frac{(\phi+\theta)(1+\phi\theta)}{1-\phi^2}$. Hence,
\begin{eqnarray*}
\hat{\phi}&\to_p&\frac{\sigma^2\frac{(\phi+\theta)(1+\phi\theta)}{1-\phi^2}}{\sigma^2\frac{1+\theta^2+2\phi\theta}{1-\phi^2}}\\
&=&\frac{(\phi+\theta)(1+\phi\theta)}{1+\theta^2+2\phi\theta}\neq\phi,
\end{eqnarray*}
unless the process is an $AR(1)$, i.e. unless $\theta=0$.
Instrumental variables estimation of $\phi$ using $Y_{t-2}$ as an instrument for $Y_{t-1}$, in turn, is consistent for $\phi$: the IV estimator is
$$
    \hat{\phi}_{IV}=\frac{\sum_tY_{t-2}Y_{t}}{\sum_tY_{t-2}Y_{t-1}}=\frac{\frac{1}{T}\sum_tY_{t-2}Y_{t}}{\frac{1}{T}\sum_tY_{t-2}Y_{t-1}}\to_p\frac{\gamma_2}{\gamma_1}
$$
We furthermore know that the autocovariance function of an $ARMA(1,1)$ is such that $\gamma_2=\phi\gamma_1$. Hence, $$\hat{\phi}_{IV}\to_p\phi$$
This works because the error term in this IV model, $\epsilon_t+\theta\epsilon_{t-1}$, is uncorrelated with the instrument, which itself is correlated with the regressor $Y_{t-1}$ due to the autoregressive structure of the process.
While this simple example (and I think simple examples are useful) shows how to use instruments in time series analysis, it is somewhat artificial in that if one knew that the process is $ARMA(1,1)$ one could estimate such a process directly. And it is somewhat fragile in that if the process were $ARMA(1,2)$, $Y_{t-2}$ would no longer be a valid instrument, as it would now be correlated with the new error $\epsilon_t+\theta_1\epsilon_{t-1}+\theta_2\epsilon_{t-2}$.

Despite Some Potholes, Immersive Technologies Getting Ready to Hit Its Stride
By Michael Inouye | 3Q 2020 | IN-5921
The month of August 2020 was relatively busy for Virtual Reality (VR) and immersive technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to rock the Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) segment and, in August, pushed Sandbox VR to file for bankruptcy protection, but elsewhere the market is experiencing renewed interest and expectations are correspondingly looking up. Facebook began showing more of its upcoming social VR platform, Horizon, and launched a private beta. Spaces made news earlier in the year, when the company abandoned the LBE market in favor of immersive collaboration, and was recently acquired by Apple. On the hardware front, Varjo announced US$54 million in Series C funding (with total funding around US$100 million including US$8.2 from the Series A round, US$6.7 from Tekes, and US$31 from Series B). Each of these point to different aspects of VR and immersive technology's future, but the road ahead still has potholes and speedbumps.
Facebook Launches Private Beta of Horizon, Apple Acquires Spaces, Varjo Series C Funding
LBE Troubles, but Scaffolding for the Future of Immersive Tech Continues to Get Built
The LBE market segment has continually drawn very disparate responses from industry insiders, ranging from those who believe it's the most profitable segment to others who view it as the other extreme and claim it's a terrible business and doomed to fail. While the pandemic is creating challenges for the LBE market, it does bring to light to and accentuate its preexisting weaknesses. Viewpoints that depict LBE negatively often stem from dedicated, larger VR installations compared to destinations where VR is implemented as a value add. Dedicated VR installations require larger spaces and are often located in places with high consumer foot traffic (e.g., malls, shopping centers, tourist areas). These businesses have significantly higher overhead than smaller installations (e.g., VR booths in other entertainment venues) and, while the higher flow of traffic can sustain these operations, limited content updates make dedicated VR locations more reliant on first-time customers than other businesses with more diversified services. Once the pandemic hit and virtually eliminated this foot traffic, the higher overhead of the larger dedicated locations became harder to bear.
Given the current state of the VR market (even before the pandemic), these larger installations were likely ahead of their time. In addition to offering limited content, immersive technologies have yet to reach a critical mass where more users view it as an essential tool or element of their digital lives. This is where some of the other announcements come into play. Facebook's Horizon is already drawing comparisons to Ready Player One's OASIS and is expected to serve as the hub of Facebook's virtual social network. It will allow users to build their own virtual environments and worlds, laying the groundwork for a VR "Internet." Corporations will create branded locations with activities and eventually virtual merchandise—some of the market potential of which is discussed in the ABI Insight Immersive Communications and Virtual Goods: Pointing to a Virtual Future? (IN-5788)—and new businesses around virtual tourism, information/education, and other services will carve out spaces within the virtual world. The vision for a fully realized and vibrant virtual 3D Internet might also explain why Apple acquired Spaces.
Spaces was in the immersive communications business for less than six months (after pivoting away from LBE) and, while its platform was good (especially considering its limited development time), there were more advanced communication platforms available. Spaces did, however, differentiate on the avatars. Spaces worked with Loom to import avatars into the platform, but more happened behind the scenes owing to the expertise of the Spaces team. Spaces was founded by Shiraz Akmal and Brad Herman, both previous executives at DreamWorks Animation who leveraged their expertise to make significantly more natural looking avatars in regard to gestures, facial expressions, and syncing speech and mouth movement. Avatars that look and feel more natural will benefit Apple in the near term, with its Augmented Reality (AR) overlays and emojis, but also lay the groundwork for virtual worlds.
Looking at Facebook Horizon a casual observer might balk at the visual graphics of the service, especially if they judge it based on the OASIS as depicted in Ready Player One (or even current/next-generation video games). Horizon is targeting a range of devices, including the Oculus Quest, though, and while it will initially support smaller groups of people in a space (beta allows for eight people per space), the goal is to expand it to support many more and, considering the service intends to allow a range of users to build within the platform, it's understandable to focus more on ease of use and performance than impressive visuals. We can think of Roblox or Minecraft as a guiding force here. In the VR world, high-end visuals are still the realm of enterprise solutions like Varjo's Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs), but they do showcase what the future holds for a more mainstream audience.
Start Imagining the Possibilities and Building the Solutions to Make Them a Reality
In a previous ABI Insight, we espoused the need to look at VR in a proper frame of reference and view it as a technology that is still developing and waiting for an inflection point that drives it toward the mainstream (e.g., paralleling the smartphone market). While many still believe that inflection point will be a must-have app or a device (Apple again is a popular choice), regardless if that criteria rings true or not, we can start to imagine what the future will look like—and it is social. Since VR isolates users from their environment, many detractors felt the technology was not conducive to social activities, but those barriers are starting to come down.
The COVID-19 pandemic's need for social distancing and isolation has instilled a new appreciation for VR and its ability to bring people together in a more immersive and natural way than video conferencing alone. People have discovered multi-player gaming and video viewing rooms in VR and, with Horizon and other virtual worlds, the applications that were previously only pipe dreams will start to come to fruition. With social VR, customization will become far more important than in other social networks and previous virtual worlds. The connection between the user and the avatar is far more intimate when these virtual representations mirror the user's actual gestures and movements. We can look at the virtual economies in video games and the value of virtual goods/items, all of which could take on a new level of importance in a VR world. As these worlds expand and develop, there will be more opportunities to translate real world opportunities into the virtual world.
There will certainly be a great deal of work to develop and establish these virtual economies, but for the first time since ABI Research started covering VR over five years ago, we are starting to see tantalizing glimpses of what many imagined the future could be and what made VR seem so magical when they first donned a VR HMD.

Personal Property and Presumption of Joint Tenancy
In Equitable Claims, Resulting Trust Claims
Robb v Robb 1993 Carswell 110 followed long-established common-law principles and found that shares in a private company were presumed in law to be held in joint tenancy, that is with a right of survivorship and found so.
At common law, when real property or personal property is granted to two or more persons with no words of severance, the persons are joint tenants, and there is a right of survivorship. There are three exceptions as discussed shortly on.
The court s of Equity however did not like joint tenancy, and it also appears that the legislature as far back as 1891 preferred tenancy in common in situations involving real property.
In the Robb case, the shares were found to be both real property been a leasehold interest, and personal property being shares in a private corporation.
The courts however will strive to find a tenancy in common under the law of equity as discussed hereafter.
Snell's equity 1990 discusses equity's dislike of joint tenancy at page 36:
Presumption of Tenancy in Common
This maxim has long been illustrated by equity's dislike of a joint tenancy. On the death of one joint tenant , the whole estate belongs to the survivor and the representatives of the deceased take nothing. There is here no equity, except, perhaps, a quality of chance. Equity therefore, leans in favor of a tenancy in common. Hence, in the absence of an express declaration as to the beneficial interest, equity may treat persons were joint tenants at law, as tenants-in-common of the beneficial interest, so that although at law. The survivor is entitled to the whole estate, he will hold in part as trustee for the representatives of the deceased.
The presumption arises in three main classes of cases, namely:
Where the parties contribute the purchase monies for the property in unequal shares;
where the property is a mortgage and the co-owners are the mortgagee's;
where the parties are business partners.
The court further commented that equity's dislike of joint tenancies was apparently shared by the legislature when approximately 130 years ago the legislature enacted the forerunner of the section which is now S.11 Property Law act. That provides that where land is transferred devised in fee simple, charged or contracted to be sold to two or more persons, then those persons take as tenants-in-common unless a contrary intention appears.

Crusaders roll past Sharks
Mark Pinson
Special to the Star-Banner
OCALA - Ocala Christian used balanced scoring and a stingy defense to overwhelm Cedar Key by a score of 61-33 to finish in third place in the Christmas Clash hosted by Meadowbrook Academy on Thursday.
The loss dropped the Sharks to 1-9 on the season, while the Crusaders, who improved to 7-4 overall, went 2-1 in the six-team, two-day holiday tournament.
"Today's effort was better but we're still a little lethargic," said Ocala Christian head coach Mac McCray. "We wore Cedar Key down inside and out and played better as a team. It was a good win and we were able to get a lot of our bench players in the game early in the third quarter. That's important because you never know when you're going to need them to step up and there's nothing like game experience."
Cedar Key, which went 0-3 in the tournament, started the game slowly and Ocala Christian took advantage as Colton Bloom buried a pair of 3-pointers as part of a game-high 14 points.
Jett Bloom added a bucket in the paint and forward Trey Woods powered his way to the basket for three points as the Crusaders took a 14-4 lead heading to the second quarter.
Cedar Key, from Levy County, stayed within striking distance as Xander Topping scored four of his team-high nine points.
Ocala Christian began to pull away midway through the second period as Woods, who had nine rebounds to go with a game-high 14 points and three blocks, scored a pair of inside baskets, and Jett Bloom had four of his eight points to give the Crusaders a commanding 31-12 lead at the half.
Cedar Key staged a rally in the third quarter as Lane Sharp poured in six of his eight points and Topping added four to pull the Sharks a little closer.
Ocala Christian responded with a run of its own fueled by Woods' seven points and Colton Bloom added a basket and a pair of free throws to put the Crusaders comfortably on top by a score of 46-26 heading to the final eight minutes.
Topping drilled a 3-pointer to open the quarter for Cedar Key, but Ocala Christian's Logan Forella scored four points and Joey Sanzone torched the nets for seven of his nine points as the Crusaders eased to the tournament victory over the Sharks.
This win should give Ocala Christian a shot of confidence heading into the main part of its regular season schedule. The Crusaders are back on the hardwood with a game at Seven Rivers Christian in Lecanto on Jan. 8
"Our offense is about passing the ball and cutting to the basket and when we do that we get good shots," coach McCray said. "We played in this tournament so our guys wouldn't have a long layoff over the holiday break and get rusty. This should be a great stepping stone for us to close out the rest of the season."
