بتن به‌دلیل استحکام، دوام و هزینه نسبتاً پایین، ماده‌ای است که در سراسر جهان، کاربرد بسیاری در ساخت‌وساز دارد. بااین‌حال، ترک برداشتن و تخریب بتن، حتی در ابتدای عمر آن، اجتناب‌ناپذیر است. ازاین‌رو، قطعاً به تعمیر و ترمیم نیاز دارد. با توجه به این‌که بتن، در بیشتر موارد، بدون پوشش در محیط استفاده می‌شود و شرایط محیطی در طول عمر آن بسیار مؤثر است، استفاده از روش‌هایی برای افزایش دوام و طول عمر آن الزامی به نظر می‌رسد. براساس آمار به‌دست‌آمده از مقاله‌ها، پژوهش‌ها، آزمایش‌ها و مشاهدات عینی، گاهی هزینه تعمیر و ترمیم سازه، از هزینه ساخت آن هم بیشتر است. ترک‌های بتنی، دلیل اصلی کاهش عمر سازه‌های بتنی‌اند. بنابراین، از نظر اقتصادی، مقرون‌به‌صرفه‌تر است که به‌جای این‌که ترک‌های کوچک را پس از ایجاد ترک‌های بزرگ ترمیم کنیم، از رشد ترک‌های کوچک در لحظه ظهورشان جلوگیری کنیم. بدین‌منظور، بهترین راهکار این است که مواد ترمیم‌کننده، از قبل، برای بهبود ترک‌های زودرس، به بتن اضافه شوند که اصطلاحاً به این روش «خودترمیمی» گفته می‌شود. ازاین‌رو، بتن خودترمیم در جهان، به‌ویژه در سال‌های اخیر، جایگاه ویژه‌ای در صنعت ساخت‌وساز یافته است. در مقاله حاضر، تعدادی از این روش‌ها بررسی و با هم مقایسه می‌شوند تا مشخص شود که کدام روش قابلیت صنعتی‌شدن بیشتری دارد.

Concrete is the most widely used construction material around the globe due to its high strength, durability, and relatively low cost. However, concrete cracks and their detrimental effects are inevitable even in the early life of structures, thus emphasizing the necessity of repair. Given that in most cases, concrete appears uncoated in the environment, and the environmental conditions significantly affect its longevity, application of some specific methods to increase the durability and longevity of concrete stuructures is highly recommended. According to the statistics, research findings, and objective observations, the cost of repairing a structure is sometimes higher than that of construction itself. Concrete cracks significantly reduce the life time of concrete structures. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to prevent the appearance and growth of small cracks from the very first moments rather than repairing the cracks after their formation. To this end, it is recommended to add repair materials to the concrete beforehand to improve premature cracking, a method called self-healing. For this reason, self-healing concrete has found a special place in the construction industry in the world, especially in recent years. The current study presented a review and made a comparison of some of these self-healing concrete methods to find the method with the highest capability of industrialization.

Young lone parents hit by reforms
by a staff reporter
WELFARE reforms will hit young, single parents hardest, throwing thousands more children into poverty, charities have warned.
A report by Gingerbread and the Children's Society, Single Parents and Universal Credit: Singled out?, estimates that 240,000 single parents under the age of 25 will lose about £780 each year under the Universal Credit system.
Currently, single parents are exempt from rules that give under-25s a lower rate of support, but the Universal Credit, which is planned to be fully in place in 2017, will remove this exemption.
Universal Credit will replace existing benefits such as jobseeker's allowance, income support, and housing benefit. The Universal Credit reform went before a parliamentary committee on Monday.
Charities have warned that disabled single parents will lose out even more, as the severe disability premium is abolished. Severely disabled single parents, many of whom rely on their children to provide their care, could lose as much as £3000 a year.
Single parents are already twice as likely to live in poverty, the charities' research shows.
The director of communications and policy at the Children's Society, Lily Caprani, said: "All children need decent support - whatever their parents' age. So taking away some of this essential support because a parent is 19 or 24, instead of 25, doesn't make any sense."
The report can be read here.
Attitudes to disability. A new survey, published this week by the Christian disability charity Liveability, found that employers' attitudes were the biggest stumbling block to disabled people in the workplace. The report found that in 62 per cent of respondents, employers' attitudes were problematic. Liveability has launched a campaign, "Let Me Work".

THE SYNTAX BOOKS OF THE HOLY QUR'AN IN THE PERIOD FROM 600 AH - 800 AH - AN ANALYTICAL STUDY
The seventh and eighth centuries AH represent a period of prosperity and maturity for all sciences, arts, and knowledge in general, and grammatical studies in particular. These two centuries also witnessed the emergence of distinguished scholars who participated in building the Arabic edifice and its completion. Among these scholars are Ibn Yaish, Al-Malqi ,Nazir Al-Jaish, Ibn Jaber Al-Ama and many others. -The purpose of authorship differed among the scholars of this period, as the writings of a single grammarian may differ in terms of the method of authorship according to the goal that he aims for, so we find - for example - by Ibn Hisham educational books such as Sharh Shadhur al-Dhahab, Sharh Qatr al-Nada, Sharh Jamal al-Zajaji, Ashthar al-Masalak, and Al-Jami al-Saghir in Grammar, expressing the rules of syntax, the objection of the condition to the condition, and other educational books. We also find by the author himself applied books that deal with grammatical rules through the linguistic text, such as the Qur'an, the noble hadith, and poetry. -Some grammarians in these two centuries were also dominated by other interests that were not directly related to Arabic grammar. For this reason, we find among them interpreters, jurists, theologians, philosophers, and rationalists, such as al-Razi Abu Musa al-Jazuli ,Ibn Malik , Abu Hayyan , al-Shatibi and others. This is based on their writings and the information they contained, and the mixing of grammar with other sciences, which led to a multiplicity of levels and confusion of information. -In these two centuries, the direction of applied grammar was evident, and it included the books of syntax of the Holy Qur'an, books of endowment and initiation, books of syntax of abnormal readings, books of syntax of noble hadith, books of syntax of grammatical evidence, books of syntax of poetry, books of riddles and grammatical riddles, and the field of syntax of the Holy Qur'an is considered the most applied grammar The grammarians cared more about the Qur'an in syntax and direction than their interest in other texts, and this will appear clearly during this research.
Keywords: The Syntax Books of The Holy Qur'an; Grammatical Studies


FX's The Strain is one of our most anticipated new shows. From the minds of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, it's a horrifying new take on vampire lore based on the novel (itself the first part of a trilogy including The Fall and The Night Eternal). FX hopes to capitalize on the books' popularity with a TV take that's coming to the small screen this summer.
The series follows epidemiologist Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and his team as they're sent to investigate an airplane filled with corpses. It's the first of many bizarre occurrences that introduce the doctors to an ancient strain of vampirism.
Yahoo! TV published four character photos that feature Stoll as Dr. Goodweather, Mia Maestro as Dr. Nora Martinez, Sean Astin as Jim Kent and David Bradley as Professor Abraham Setrakian. We don't know about you, but after last season's Game of Thrones, we're still having a hard time trusting Bradley in any role. Check out the new photos below.
The Strain premieres in July on FX.

Review Process Complete For Virgin Gorda Land Distribution
Topic: Crown Lands (including seabed) | Posted By: aphillip
6 May 2015 - 9:30am
The review process is complete for sixty residents on Virgin Gorda to receive lands as part of the Government's land distribution programme.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Natural Resources and Labour, Dr. the Honourable Kedrick Pickering has expressed thanks to the members of the Virgin Gorda Lands Committee for their dedication and hard work in the recommendation of lands on Virgin Gorda for eligible members of the Virgin Gorda community.
Minister Pickering said, "The review process is complete and we are pleased with the efforts of these committed BVIslanders. The time taken to review the applicants, to make recommendations and to ultimately serve our Territory is noteworthy."
Minister Pickering outlined that the final decision for land distribution was made by Cabinet following the recommendation of the Committee. He said that empowering local persons, especially young people, through property ownership was very important and he was pleased to be involved at this time in history.
At a Press Conference on April 21, Premier and Minister of Finance, Dr. the Honourable D. Orlando Smith, OBE said that ownership of lands by BVIslanders, had always been of interest to successive governments. He said that in following through with the Government's commitment to the people, the concerns and loud cries of those in the Virgin Gorda community were heard.
Premier Smith said the Virgin Gorda Lands Committee was implemented in 2013 and concerns were addressed with the initiation of a land distribution scheme to subdivide three sites in North Sound, Virgin Gorda for residential and commercial purposes.
The Premier said, "Two of the sites, the Bond and Great Hill are to be subdivided for residential house lots while Bakers Bay has been earmarked for commercial purposes."
He added, "I am pleased to report that this Government has approved a total 60 persons for phase one of this project: thirty five persons for phase one of Great Hill. Eight persons for the phase one of Bakers Bay and seventeen persons for phase one of the Bond Subdivisions. Development in these areas will be carried out in a phased approach and we endeavour to carry out further subdivisions in the future."
Premier Smith further stated that road cutting is to commence in the North Sound area soon.
For further information or questions concerning the land distribution in North Sound, Virgin Gorda, persons are encouraged to contact the Lands Unit of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Labour at 468-2147.
The Government of the Virgin Islands endeavours to effectively manage and administer the Territory's natural resources in a manner that ensures long-term sustainability.

Q: Disable computed observable I Have a problem were a computed observable is creating the notification chain from hell (Ordo n^2).
What I need todo is this
Disable computed observable
Do stuff
Enable observable and notify subscribers (View)

Found this but its over a year old,
http://www.knockmeout.net/2011/04/pausing-notifications-in-knockoutjs.html
I was hoping there is some build in solution for this by now?
edit: A fiddle showing the problem. http://jsfiddle.net/8mxBA/
its pretty close to the real sites code
Try to select all items with teh top checkbox it will only do two calls to the canSave computed, try to uncheck it, it will do n calls to the canSave computed, and since the canSave method itterates over the entire collection it could get slow.

A: Try the throttle option ('not the extender').
comp = ko.computed(function () {
    return stuff;
}, this, {throttle: 1});

I believe the throttle extender wraps the computed in an additional computed so is less efficient.

A: Check this out, which is an update on the throttle extender: http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/rateLimit-observable.html

Both recipes come from a homemade recipe book that my mom-in-law made for my hubby Neil. I have no idea where she got them from (must ask her when I see her next time). I have been making these recipes since the early days of our marriage (21 years this year). I am very pleased to say that Neil prefers the way that I make them to the way his Mom does (ssshhhhhh).
They are fabulous and fast to make.
Cream the margarine and sugar then add oil.
Add beaten egg, flour and baking powder.
Press into 3 tin pie plates.
Prick the base and bake at 180C for 10 – 12 minutes.
Can be kept in the fridge or freezer until required.
This pastry recipe makes enough for 3 of those tin disposable pie plates.
I always make the pastry base in glass pie plates which are bigger than the tin ones. So I divide the pastry in 2.
I bake them both and use the one base for the lemon meringue and then cover the other in cling wrap and put it into the freezer.
Mix condensed milk, lemon juice and beaten egg yolks.
Add grated lemon rind if desired. Pour into the pie crust.
Cover with the meringue made by beating the 2 egg whites, adding sugar and beating again.
Bake at 150C for approximately 15 minutes.
I beat the egg whites in a clean glass bowl.
Using my electric beater I make the meringue first and then use the same beater to mix up the condensed milk etc.
I mix the condensed milk and egg yolks together first before adding the lemon juice as I found that the lemon juice tended to affect the egg yolks.
Thanks for sharing this delectable recipe Nicola. I cant wait to make it so I can try out my kitchen Craft blowtorch!

Q: How much data can sklearn handle with kernel density estimation I have a data set with 40 million line (about 8Mb) while each line is of float type. I want to use sklearn kernel density estimation to fit this data set with gaussian kernel. But it's too slow on my pc (4GB RAM, 256GB SSD). So, can sklearn kde handle data set with million or more samples?

A: Yes, sci-kit can handle a lot of data.
But as you found out, it might be that your machine is not enough. Alternatively you may need to use the software better. Read Strategies to scale computationally: bigger data from the sci-kit documentation.
Edit: Density estimation for large dataset on Cross Validated is quite relevant.

About the brilliant green
The Brilliant Green are a rock trio from Kyoto, Japan. Comprised of Tomoko Kawase (vocals), Shunsaku Okuda (bass), and Ryo Matsui (guitar), the Brilliant Green are rounded out on their recordings and in live performances with various drummers, guitarists, and keyboard players. Edgy yet easily digestible, their music is reminiscent of such early-'90s alternative rock acts as Liz Phair, the Cardigans, Sheryl Crow, and No Doubt. One can even hear a hint of the Indigo Girls in their mix. Tomoko Kawase's coquettish demeanor comes across in her darling singing voice. Kawase, who is bilingual, seems at ease singing songs in either Japanese or English.
Founded in 1998, the Brilliant Green splashed into the Japanese music scene with their hit single "There Will Be Love There." As this single sold over two million copies, the Brilliant Green were given the honor of being the best-selling Japanese newcomer of 1998. Their 1998 album Growing was then followed up in 1999 with the single Yes and the 11-song album Terra 2001. With Terra 2001, the Brilliant Green's popularity spread across Asia -- especially into such cities as Hong Kong and nations as Taiwan -- and began to swell in the U.S. as well. ~ John Vallier

New mom Ivanka talks about Arabella
Ivanka Trump showed off her new mommy figure in Manhattan Thursday, just four weeks after she gave birth to baby daughter Arabella Rose. She looks better than ever! The 29-year-old gave fans a glimpse of her post-baby body as she arrived for an appearance on the "Today" show. During the interview she talked motherhood with the hosts, revealing, "The most fun part of being a mother so far is watching Arabella grow and experience different things every day; it is also the hardest part though! . . . I feel like she will be out of the house and off to college before I know it." Sounds just like her mommy and granddad Donald Trump! She'll be running the family business in no time!

Atlantic Interconnections and the Origins of Brazilian Protestantism
Today, much of the discussion on Brazilian Christianity focuses on the charismatic movement within the Catholic church and the growth of neo-pentecostal churches such as the Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus. As I have discussed in an earlier article, the Brazilian pentecostal movement is over a century old today, and it owes its origins to a variety of transnational and Brazilian actors. However, the emergence of Protestantism itself in this predominantly Catholic country (70%

What follows is, so far as I can tell, the basic tenets of Catholic integralism— a topic of heated debate lately— or what is sometime called "Gelasian dyarchy," a reference to Pope Saint Gelasius' letter to Emperor Anastasius in the late fifth-century which espoused the dualistic principle of church and state, (i.e. "duo sunt"). 1) There are two powers that rule humanity: a temporal power (the state) and a spiritual power (the Church).

R.C. Sproul – A Former Protestant's Gratitude
When I heard of R.C. Sproul's death, my first impulse was to pray for his family and–since I am no longer Protestant but Catholic–for him. My second was to turn to my mother and say, "R.C. Sproul died two days ago." Death has a strange, self-assured touch. Everything stops in its tracks, but the fact of it won't register. Not truly a shock, it is more a suspension, a cessation of movement in the vicinity

This is the third and final post in my series on Catholicism and Justification. The first two parts can be found here and here.

I will look at all incidents of this phrase in Paul's writing. It is, of

On the Catholic Use of Sacred Scripture
This is a response piece to Christian McGuire's article entitled: "On the Misuse of Sacred Scripture." Dear Christian, As we discussed privately when I first read your piece, I agree with your basic premise that Scripture cannot stand alone as an authority without the vehicles of the Church (her liturgy, her teaching authority) and Tradition (the Fathers, the Doctors). Together, these three prongs of authority (Scripture, Tradition, and Church Magisterium) balance to form and inform a community

Since moving to the DC area, I have been going to mass at a Church that is at least half Hispanic. Many parishioners don't speak English as a primary language, if at all.

For most of my life, I've been pretty ambivalent, and even dismissive and hostile, towards sports of all kinds (though being a Nebraskan, I'm genetically hard-wired to care about Cornhusker football, even if only a little bit). I'm a proud sci-fi/fantasy/comic book nerd, lover of quirky arthouse cinema, and underground/experimental music blogger; woe to anyone who dare engage me in a conversation involving athletics. Yet here we are. And of all of the sports to become interested in, it had to be soccer instead of, say, football, basketball, or baseball?
It just doesn't seem right, so goes the conventional and clichéd wisdom.
I start by blaming my kids, of course. All of them play soccer, and are pretty good (in my decidedly non-expert opinion). My oldest, especially, displays an athleticism that probably challenges all we know about genetics. In the process of shuttling them back and forth between practices, games, and tournaments, soccer has invariably wedged itself into our lives. And so, watching the World Cup, if only to better experience the sport that taken over our lives, was a no-brainer.
It also helps that we're in what some might call a golden age of the sport, with topnotch players like Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar (when he's not flopping around on the ground), Bale, Hazard, Pogba, Insigne, Ibrahimović, and Lukaku (to name but a few) taking to the pitch. (See how easily I can threw out some soccer terminology there?) Indeed, our household has been frequently filled with the sounds of highlight videos like this one.
My friends love to give me crap now. One remarked on Facebook of all of his friends to chime in on his World Cup thread, I was the last one he expected. Nevertheless, the beautiful game has taken over here at Opus HQ and even beyond (even my mom's become quite the soccer fan, leading to some fun text exchanges). Being able to talk with friends, co-workers, and even random strangers about games and players, cheer on victors and lament losses, jeer boneheaded plays and stand in awe of incredible physical prowess… it's been a blast from the very start.
I've experienced something similar with the Olympics, which has been one significant exception to my sports-related ambivalence. But whereas my love for the Olympics has as much, if not more, to do with the human drama and myth-making that surrounds those games as any interest in the actual sporting contests themselves, the World Cup has primarily been about the the sport itself (though there's certainly some very interesting human drama and myth-making in this year's Cup, as well).
Don't get me wrong: I'm still very much a n00b. I still don't quite understand the offside rule (though the offside trap that Japan pulled on Senegal was so pretty) and I'm sort of afraid to ask what "set piece" means. And given how, um, passionate soccer fans can be, I'm a little hesitant to side with any squad other than our kids' teams and our church's team. (Yes, we have a church team. We Lincoln, Nebraska Presbyterians enjoy a good match.) And just because I'm newly enamored with the sport doesn't mean I'm blind to the corruption that's been sadly rampant in soccer, or the controversies surrounding some of its best and brightest athletes — all things that need to be dealt with, just like in any sport.
All that being said, I couldn't have asked for a better first World Cup than 2018, thanks to so many wonderful games and stunning upsets (e.g., Germany, Brazil, Sweden, England). Indeed, we've been pretty spoiled for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. And as for the 2026 games that'll take place here in North America? Let's just say that we've already begun making some travel plans.

GOVERNOR PHIL SCOTT ESTABLISHES RACIAL EQUITY TASK FORCE
Rebecca Kelley, Office of the Governor
802-622-4047 | rebecca.kelley@vermont.gov
Montpelier, Vt. - Governor Phil Scott has signed an Executive Order to form the Racial Equity Task Force as a component of a broader state effort to promote racial, ethnic and cultural equity, including in its response to COVID-19.
"We cannot continue to treat racism and examples like the one in Minneapolis as uncomfortable and rare events, which is why we've been working on a Racial Equity Task Force in recent months," said Governor Scott. "A task force is not the cure-all for what ails us. It is going to take some soul searching and real change—individually and systemically—to make a difference. The good news is, we can fix this without waiting for a vaccine or other solutions out of our control. It just takes us uniting to make this a better country for everyone because, like the coronavirus, this is literally in our hands."
The Task Force will undertake three major projects including:
Evaluating structures of support for racially diverse populations, including a focus on the racial disparities in health outcomes highlighted by COVID-19;
Reviewing current state and federal law on hate speech and freedom of speech and considering changes to state law to clarify the path for prosecuting harassment, hate speech and other bias-motivated crimes; and
Studying and presenting options to encourage Vermonters from diverse, marginalized or underrepresented racial and ethnic groups to run and serve in public office at all levels.
It will submit recommendations to the Governor on the first project by August 15 and preliminary recommendations on the second and third by December 15. The group will also provide guidance as needed by the Governor.
"This task force will contribute to advancing equity in Vermont, and yet it is only one piece of that effort," said Executive Director of Racial Equity Xusana Davis, who will chair the task force. "The group will shine further light on existing disparities, but it is up to individuals, institutions and local and state government to make it happen. This is such important work, and it is everyone's work."
The Task Force will be chaired by Davis and include up to seven additional members, including representatives from the Governor's office, law enforcement, a Vermont chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Vermont, the Vermont Human Rights Commission, and a member of the public.

Land and forest resources are the main natural endowments of Coast Region hence economic activities comprise of forestry, hunting, beekeeping, fishing, mining and wildlife. Among others, forestry sub- sector plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance, protect soils from erosion and conserve water and wildlife.
Coast Region like other regions, used to have a large forest cover. Due to human economic activities the present forests are in greater risk of being depleted due to the demand for firewood, timber and other human activities such as agricultural expansion as the population increases.As table 3.30 shows, Pwani region has a total forest area of 2,500,000 ha. Out of which 380,514.02 ha are reserved and the remaining 2,119,485.98 ha falls under general public forests.
Although the status of encroachment was fair in most of the forest reserves, it was severe in some reserves such as Uzigua Forest Reserve, Kikoka, Mangrove, Kibindu and Ngubura-Kidomole Forest Reserves in Bagamoyo DC; in Kisarawe DC forest reserves with severe encronchment were Kisanga, Ruvu and Kazimzumbwi Forest Reserves; in Mkuranga DC forest reserves with severe encroachment were Masanganya, Vikindu and Marenda Forest Reserves; in Rufiji DC those with severe encroachment were Mangrove Forest Reserve and Ruhoi Forest Reserve.
The presence of forests and bushes in the region enables some species of animals to be found in the region. Pwani region owns one national park (Saadani National Park), one game reserve (Selous Game Reserve), two wildlife management areas (Wami-Mbiki & Ngarambe/Tapika WMAs) and an island marine park (Mafia Island Marine Park).

It is the only wildlife sanctuary in Tanzania bordering the sea. The climate is coastal, hot and humid. It offers a unique combination of both marine and mainland flora and fauna in a culturally fascinating setting. About 30 species of larger mammals are present as well as numerous reptiles and birds. Besides, many species of fish (over 40), green turtle, Humpback whale and dolphins are also found in the nearby ocean.
Seleous Game Reserve is found in southern part of Pwani region and it covers a greater portion of the southern parts of Rufiji District and a small part in Kisarawe District. It covers an area of 6,258 square kilometers in Rufiji district and 255 square kilometers in Kisarawe district. Animals found in this Game Reserve include lions, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, antelopes, rhinos and hippos which are found in Rufiji River.
This Game Reserve is an important attraction for tourists and generates foreign exchange.

Mafia Island Marine Park covers an area of 212 square kilometers and this park is a purely marine in nature with different marine species such as coral, tropical fish and sea shells. This park also is an important attraction to the tourists as white sands which covers 85 percent and artisan and sport fishing are found. Concerning sport fishing, whale shark is in Kilindoni and Chunguruma and fish bank is found in Utende.
In the region, there are two Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) namely WAMIMBIKI which covers Bagamoyo, Morogoro and Mvomero districts. Another Wildlife Management Area is Ngarambe/ Tapika which is found in Rufiji district council.

I spent many hours on airplanes and in airports today. Besides being a psychologist, I pride myself on being a natural sociological participant observer. Lots of people are. All it means is that I'm a people-watcher. (Sometimes, there's conversation involved, too.) It's fun, interesting, educational, and even fulfilling, sometimes. I'd like to share some of today's observations.
A very happy widow with a few good friends has made a life for herself in a new home. She pursues an engaging hobby and spends no time whatsoever on self-pity. She's visiting her children for the holidays but looking forward to going back home, too.
A famous football player sits in first class, holding his wife's hand, focused on their time together, whether or not he's also thinking about his game.
A gas-drilling worker on his way to work out of State admits that he's turning the environment into "Swiss cheese" and polluting it, so that he and the company can make mucho bucks. He feels guilty but wants to provide for his family and future.
A woman wearing a head scarf prays toward the East for half an hour in an internet carrel, leaving it then with a broad, satisfied smile.
People watch each other's stuff when they take turns going to the bathroom or getting a snack, rather than lugging around their carry-on items.
Some people work on the phone and the computer in transit, making deals, arranging meetings, and giving instructions. They look and act productive more than stressed.
Flight changes and gate changes rattle very few people. Some people worry about missing a connection but, once they do, they adjust to their new flight plan.
What are my conclusions? There's something awesome (and I mean it, really, as that word is abused so much) about the variability, flexibility and human kindness of humanity.

How are they not making cocoons yet?!
Squeeze gently to check for ripeness.
This prepupal green sausage is making THE FIRST COCOON!!!
Top: the first cocoon, babby sewed some leaves to the side the their home so you can see the "naked" cocoon side. They don't always hide in leaf cocoons, but it's very common and a good camouflage strategy.
Bottom: the second cocoonis completely enclosed in leaves. The third cocoon looks the same.
The caterpillars were huge, so these cocoons must be MASSIVE, right??
You remember the first bab got SO FAT WHY? They squeeze themselves like an accordion before they make their cocoon and pupate inside. Adult moths look way bigger than they actually are thanks to their wings. Polyphemus moths are pretty big anyway, but the cocoon and pupa are only about a large as the moths body, the wings are just tiny inflatable flaps until they emerge and pump them up.
Only 9 more to go!
I mean, sure, this is how I eat my breakfast, too.
The final caterpillar made a cocoon on Friday, and caterpillar season is finally starting to slow down a bit (who am I kidding, caterpillar season in Texas lasts 9 months).
Here's what happened the 17th through the 20th!
Wandering around, trying to find the perfect pupation location.
Poops! Their poops are typically as big as their heads!
The last caterpillar needed to be original, and made a naked cocoon (no leaves). Here's the beginning.
All done! The finished cocoons are thick and hard, which protects them during the winter. They will pupate inside the cocoon, and when the moths emerge, they spit out a special enzyme that dissolves the silk so they can emerge. For that reason, it's important that the cocoons are kept somewhere somewhat humid (similar to the outdoors!), since our homes can be very dry by caterpillar standards. I have a humidifier in the caterpillar room, but you can also spray a mist of water onto them regularly.
