Prolog passes all in,out,in/out values as arguments to the predicate. This has the drawback, for out variables, that the variables need to be allocated from the heap and adds complexity and overhead to the predicate. If in stead the out variables could be passed over without making a box for it first we get possible much less complexity of the predicate and hence better performance. So let's see the semantics that I plan to add to guile-log and already works today in a experimental compiler of an experimental prolog VM that is included in the guile-log sources. So the basic form is % Executing a goal with out variables % unicode ← is indicating a return value, (leftarrow in latex) [V1, ..., Vn] ← Goal. % Executing a goal with named out variables placed where out may be % referenced by executing the goal 'F(...)' F(V1, ..., Vn) ← Goal. % an alternative default symbol is <=, likewise for rightarrow we have Goal → [V1, ..., Vn]. Goal → F(V1, ..., Vn). % lets make a predicate that outputs a pure out variable, cc(X,...) % exits to the prevoius `←` and return X,... to it. sum(X,Y) :- Z is X + Y, cc(Z). % and let's use it printsum(X,Y) :- [Z1] ← sum(X,Y), write(output(Z1)),nl. % we can also just inline code printsum(X,Y) :- [Z1] ← (X < Y -> (Q is X + Y, cc(Q)) ; cc(X)), write(output(Z1)),nl. Now, it it is possible to compile ordinary old versions of prolog code to take advantage of this system. But I tend to like the clarity of the code where out variables are explicit. A possible extention for this would be a Tag(V1,...) version, e.g. % we can also just inline code printsum(X,Y) :- A(Z1) ← (X < Y -> (Q is X + Y, cc(Q)) ; A(X)), write(output(Z1)),nl. Then if we have multiple exit points then one can sellect the outer one with the correct tag. Note that this is very similar to catch/throw in prolog. The taged one only works in explicit code, if tags needs to be catched from inside an evaluation of a predicate, then use catch/throw. This system has it's value because the catch/throw is pinned down to assume a predicate can indeed make a throw, but with the ccc the predicates at tail position in the goal clause is the only one that allow a cc/ccc-throw. Also a difference is that cc is a continuation, hence the name, e.g. it is not a throw or return in which the bindings are undone as with throw catch. So to summarize, this extension is only to enable more effective code and enable more opertunity for uses of the stack, ctach/throw is more generall and don't enable this oppertunity due to this. ?- [X] ← cc(1). X = 1. ?- [X] ← cc(1,2). no ?- [X,Y] ← cc(1,2). X = 1, Y = 2. ?- X ← cc(1,2). X = [1, 2]. ?- F(X) ← ((Y ← F(1)),(write(y(Y)),nl)) X = 1, F = lam. ?- F(\|X) ← ((Y ← F(1)),(write(y(Y)),nl)) X = , F = lam. ?- F(A\|X) ← ((Y ← F(1,2,3)),(write(y(Y)),nl)) A = 1, X = [2, 3], F = lam.
Teacher and Student Perceptions of Online Instructional Methodology in Higher Education: An Explanatory Mixed-Method Study This mixed method Explanatory study examined the thoughts and beliefs of teachers and students at Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) involved in online teaching and learning. Three research questions addressing faculty perceptions about their online teaching at SLU, effective teaching methods or strategies employed by online faculty at SLU, and the student perceptions about online teaching at SLU were addressed. There were two sequences of data collection: the first consisted of two surveys sent to online teachers and another to students enrolled in online courses in three academic colleges. The second sequence of interviews with nine experienced online teachers provided a fourth data source. Quantitative analysis of survey data was conducted and qualitative analysis of the interviews was accomplished. Survey findings revealed that faculty and students agreed that giving effective feedback, and providing clearly stated guidelines were important. The students said providing more clearly stated guidelines were among the things that faculty could have done more of to assist their online learning. Additional survey results and interviews with nine experienced online teachers revealed what methods and strategies were employed by online teachers at SLU within and across disciplines to build online learning communities. Findings indicated that most technical skills were not considered critical for effective online teaching; however facilitation skills such as giving effective feedback and engaging the online learner were the most critical. There was general agreement among online teachers that online teaching and face-to-face teaching were very different. Teachers who were interviewed reported that they used e-mail as the prime source of one-to-one communication with learners. Advisor:Susan K. MacGregor; David A. Spruill; Spencer J.

Context: Complications of atherosclerosis cause most morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus. Despite the frequency and severity of disease, proven medical therapy remains incompletely understood and underused. Objective: To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and medical and invasive treatment of atherosclerosis in patients with diabetes mellitus. Data sources: Using the index terms diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular diseases, cerebrovascular accident, endothelium, vascular smooth muscle, platelets, thrombosis, cholesterol, hypertension, hyperglycemia, insulin, angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass, we searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from 1976 to 2001. Additional data sources included bibliographies of identified articles and preliminary data presented at recent cardiology conferences. Study selection: We selected original investigations and reviews of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and therapy of atherosclerosis in diabetes. We selected randomized, double-blind, controlled studies, when available, to support therapeutic recommendations. Criteria for data inclusion (168 of 396) included publication in a peer-reviewed journal or presentation at a national cardiovascular society-sponsored meeting. Data extraction: Data quality was determined by publication in peer-reviewed literature. Data extraction was performed by one of the authors. Data synthesis: Diabetes mellitus markedly increases the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, amputation, and death. The metabolic abnormalities caused by diabetes induce vascular dysfunction that predisposes this patient population to atherosclerosis. Blood pressure control, lipid-lowering therapy, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, and antiplatelet drugs significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Although diabetic patients undergo revascularization procedures because of acute coronary syndromes or critical limb ischemia, the outcomes are less favorable than in nondiabetic cohorts. Conclusions: Since most patients with diabetes die from complications of atherosclerosis, they should receive intensive preventive interventions proven to reduce their cardiovascular risk.

A transient holographic pattern, which is called a transient reflecting grating (TRG), is produced on a solid surface when two pulsed lights are simultaneously irradiated at the same spot of a small size. By using a probe light delayed relative to the above excitation pulses, a time profile of the TRG is observed by changing the delay time of the probe pulse. The signal waveform includes information about generation and relaxation of ultrasonics and heat. Using this technique, a few-GHz ultrasonics were observed for a wide variation of material surfaces [A. Harata et al., Trends Anal. Chem. 14, 504--511 (1995)]. In this report highly sensitive detection of the TRGs utilizing surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is described. Energy deposition efficiency from light into heat was very effective under an SPR condition and the energy absorbed by a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is concentrated on the solid surface. Utilizing an arrangement of total internal reflection for the SPP excitation, a TRG method about ten times more sensitive could be realized. A new type of SPR-enhanced TRG method is also proposed where the probe beam excites SPPs. The method made it possible to separate ultrasonics and the heat contribution to the TRG signal.

The gravitational field of conical mass distributions is formulated using the general theory of relativity. The gravitational metric tensor is constructed and applied to the motion of test particles and photons in this gravitational field. The expression for gravitational time dilation is found to have the same form as that in spherical, oblate spheroidal, and prolate spheroidal gravitational fields and hence confirms an earlier assertion that this gravitational phenomena is invariant in form with various mass distributions. It is shown using the pure radial equation of motion that as a test particle moves closer to the conical mass distribution along the radial direction, its radial speed decreases. In recent articles [1–4], we introduced an approach of studying gravitational fields of various mass distributions as extensions of Schwarzschild’s method. Of interest in this article is the gravitational field of conical mass distributions placed in empty space. Sputnik III, the third Soviet satellite launched on May 15, 1958 has a conical shape. This study is aimed at studying the behaviour of test particles and photons in the vicinity of conically shaped objects placed in empty space such as Sputnik III. 2. Gravitational Metric Tensors It is well known [5, 6] that the general relativistic metric tensor for flat space-time (empty space without mass) is invariant (invariance of the line element) and can be obtained in any orthogonal curvilinear coordinate by the transformation . It is worth noting that the metric tensor obtained through this standard procedure (i)satisfies Einstein’s field equations a priori and(ii)yields the expected equations of motion for test particles and photons in flat space-time. Using these crucial facts, we now realize that choosing the particular orthogonal curvilinear coordinate corresponding to the geometry of the body facilitates the formulation of boundary conditions on the universal gravitational scalar potential which is always expected to be a part of the metric tensor. Thus, transforming Schwarzschild’s metric into the particular orthogonal curvilinear coordinate using the invariance of the line element subject to the fact that the arbitrary function in the metric tensor transforms as yields the metric tensor for the mass distribution of the orthogonal curvilinear coordinate. Thus, the arbitrary function is determined by the mass or pressure distribution and hence possess symmetries imposed by the latter a priori. In approximate gravitational fields, the arbitrary function is equal to the gravitational scalar potential. Thus, to obtain the metric tensor for a homogeneous conical mass distribution placed in empty space in conical coordinates: (1)coordinates are transformed from spherical polar to conical on the right hand side of Schwarzschild’s world line element; (2)the arbitrary function in Schwarzschild’s field is transformed to in the field of a homogeneous conical mass. Now, the spherical polar coordinates are related to the Cartesian coordinates as follows: Also the Cartesian coordinates are related to the conical coordinates as follows: where . Expressing the spherical coordinates in terms of the conical coordinates, we obtain Now, consider a spherically symmetric mass distribution with invariant world line element (Schwarzschild’s line element) in the exterior region given as where generally is an arbitrary function determined by the distribution of mass or pressure and possess all the symmetries of the distribution. In approximate gravitational fields, is equivalent to the gravitational scalar potential function exterior to a massive symmetric sphere. Let the spherically symmetric mass distribution be transformed by deformation into a conical mass distribution in such a way that it retains its density and total mass. Thus, the general relativistic invariant world line element exterior to a spherical symmetric body is tensorially equivalent to that of a conical mass distribution and related by the transformation from spherical to conical coordinates. Therefore, to obtain the invariant line element exterior to conical mass distributions, we transform coordinates on the right hand side of (5), from spherical to conical coordinates and , the arbitrary function determined by the conical mass. Substituting (3), (6), and (8) into (5), the nonzero components of the covariant metric tensor exterior to conical mass distributions are obtained as The nonzero components of the contravariant metric tensor for this gravitational field are obtained using tensor analysis as Thus, the metric tensor in this gravitational field unlike Schwarzschild’s metric has six nonzero components. The contravariant metric components and are simply the reciprocal of their covariant counterparts. The remaining nonzero components of the contravariant metric have a common denominator. 3. Motion of Test Particles The affine connection coefficients of the gravitational field are obtained using tensor analysis, and the motion of test particles in the vicinity of a conical mass distribution is studied using Setting in (12), we obtain the time equation of motion as where the dot represents differentiation with respect to proper time . Solving (13) yields the expression for gravitational time dilation in this gravitational field as It has the same form as that obtained in the vicinity of homogeneous spherical , prolate spheroidal , and oblate spheroidal [2, 4] mass distributions.Thus, only motion along the radial direction affects gravitational time dilation. Similarly, setting in (12) yields the radial equation of motion as To obtain a first approximation to the solution of (15), pure radial motion can be studied. For pure radial motion , , and (15) reduces to Solving the pure radial equation yields solution as where is a constant of motion. This shows that varies inversely with . Thus, an increase in the gravitational potential retards motion in the pure radial direction, and hence as a test particle moves closer to the conical mass distribution along the radial direction, its radial speed decreases. An astronomical expedition can be undertaken in the near future at the vicinity of Sputnik III to confirm this interesting results. Also, setting and , the respective and equations of motion are obtained as 4. Orbits in the Vicinity of a Conical Mass Distribution The Langrangian for any gravitational field is defined as which can be written explicitly in this gravitational field as Now, consider spatial motion along the radial direction only, then the Langrangian reduces to or more explicitly as Transforming the radial coordinate to the angular coordinate using and defining , we have Substituting (23) into (22) and using the fact that for time-like orbits and for null orbits, we obtain as the respective planetary equation of motion and photon equation of motion in the vicinity of a conical mass distribution placed in empty space. Equation (24) can be used to study the motion of orbiting particles moving in the vicinity of conical masses. 5. Remarks and Conclusion The results obtained in this paper have paved the way for the study of gravitational fields of conical mass distributions like Sputnik III. The immediate consequences of the results obtained in this paper are as follows. (1)Einstein’s geometrical field equations can be constructed using our metric tensor. The striking fact about these field equations is that they have only one unknown which is determined by the mass or pressure distribution. Thus, the field equations can be easily solved and explicit expressions obtained for . (2)The planetary equation of motion and the photon equation of motion can be solved to describe the motion of test particles and photons in the vicinity of conical masses. These equations are opened up for further research work and astrophysical interpretation. (3)In approximate gravitational fields, the arbitrary function can be conveniently equated to the gravitational scalar potential exterior to a conical mass. Thus, if the complete expression of is obtained from the field equations, it will depict a hither to unknown generalization of the gravitational scalar potential function for this field. (4)Other gravitational phenomena such as gravitational spectral shift could be studied in the vicinity of conical masses. - E. N. Chifu and S. X. K.

Preparing the Income Statement in the Accounting Cycle \|The financial statements are the final product in the accounting cycle.\| This income statement example goes over preparing the earnings statement in the accounting cycle. The income statement is also called the profit and loss statement, or the earnings statement. The end result of the accounting cycle was summarized in the adjusted trial balance. From the adjusted trial balance, we now have all of the account balances necessary to complete the earnings statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows for January. We now use the sales and expense accounts on the adjusted trial balance, highlighted below, to prepare the earnings statement. Earnings statement accounts are called nominal or temporary accounts because they are closed after the reporting period to start a new balance in each account. For example, if we report income for the year 2010, we want a new balance of zero to start the new year. Balance sheet accounts, on the other hand, are called real or permanent accounts because they continue to accumulate for the life the asset, liability, or equity account. Sunny Sunglasses Shop Adjusted Trial Balance January 31, 2010 He used two revenue accounts, the net sales account (net of returns) of $11,680, and the repair revenue of $20 under “other income” on the adjusted trial balance, to fill in revenue for January on the income statement. The earnings statement separates revenue from the main operations of the business, called operating income, from revenue incidental to the business. Similarly, the earnings statement separates operating expenses from those expenses that do not directly contribute to the generation of revenue. Since Sunny Sunglasses Shop sells Sunglasses, the main operating revenue is from sales. Repairing sunglasses is incidental to the business and categorized outside of operating income. Similarly, accountants do not consider interest and taxes as an operating expense, and separate it from the main operating expenses of the business. Sunny then used each expense account to arrive at the net income of $248 (total revenue less total expenses). The business made a small profit during the first month of operations.

आज साल का दूसरा चंदग्रहण लगेगा। यह २१ वीं सदी का सबसे लंबा चंद्रग्रहण है। सदी का सबसे लंबा चंद्रग्रहण तीन घंटे ५५ मिनट का होगा। अगर आप साल की शुरुआत में सुपरमून का दीदार नहीं कर पाए तो अब आपके लिए सदी के सबसे लंबे चंद्रग्रहण को देखने का मौका है। शुक्रवार को गुरु पूर्णिमा के पावन अवसर पर चांद को ग्रहण लग रहा है और यह २१वीं सदी का सबसे लंबा चंद्रग्रहण है। धार्मिक मान्यता के अनुसार, यह एक अशुभ घटना है और इसकी छाया से बचने के लिए लोग ग्रहण के बाद स्नान-दान करते हैं। लेकिन अब ज्ञान-विज्ञान का प्रसार होने से चंद्रग्रहण और सूर्यग्रहण संबंधी भ्रांतियां कम हुई हैं। सदी का सबसे लंबा चंद्रग्रहण तीन घंटे ५५ मिनट का होगा। ग्रहण की खासियत है यह कि इसे बिना किसी उपकरण के नंगी आंखों से देखा जा सकेगा। चंद्र ग्रहण को भारत समेत अफ्रीका, मिडिल ईस्ट और दक्षिण एशिया में खुली आंखों से देखा जा सकेगा। बताया जा रहा है १७०० साल पहले सबसे लंबा पूर्ण चंद्र ग्रहण पड़ा था। आज जैसा चांद का करीब १५० साल पहले दिखाई दिया था। भारतीय समय के मुताबिक, यह चंद्र ग्रहण २७ जुलाई को रात ११ बजकर ५३ मिनट पर शुरू होगा और २८ जुलाई को सुबह ३:४९ बजे खत्म होगा। इस बार गुरु पूर्णिमा के दिन ही चंद्र ग्रहण है। ग्रहण के दौरान श्रद्धापूर्वक इन मंत्रों का जाप करने से अशुभ प्रभाव से बचा जा सकेगा। ग्रहण के दौरान सूर्य, पृथ्वी और चांद सीधी रेखा में आ जाते है और चांद पर पृथ्वी की छाया पड़ती है। इस दौरान सूर्य की लालिमा से चांद नारंगी दिखने लगता है, इसलिए इसे ब्लड मून या सुपरमून कहा जाता है। खगोल वैज्ञानिकों ने बताया कि बीते ६० हजार सालों में दूसरी बार मंगल ग्रह हमें इतना करीब और साफ दिखाई देगा। इस दौरान चंद्रमा खूबसूरत लाल या भूरे रंग का दिखाई देगा जिसे वैज्ञानिकों ने 'बल्ड-मून' का नाम दिया है। सुपरब्लड मून का दीदार बिना किसी उपकरण के कर सकेंगे। जुलाई में पड़ने वाले चंद्र ग्रहण के दौरान मंगल १५ सालों में पृथ्वी के सबसे करीब होगा। २००३ के बाद मंगल पृथ्वी के सबसे निकट बिंदु के पास आ जाएगा। अंतरिक्ष में मंगल, पृथ्वी और सूर्य एक सीध में होंगे, जिसके चलते मंगल पृथ्वी के करीब होगा। इस दौरान सूर्य का प्रकाश मंगल पर पूरी तरह से पड़ने से इसे पृथ्वी से अच्छी तरह से देखा जा सकेगा। साल २००३ में ऐसा लगभग ६०,००० वर्षों में हुआ था।
The Grey junglefowl, also known as Sonnerat's junglefowl, is one of the wild ancestors of domestic fowl together with the red junglefowl and other junglefowls. The Grey junglefowl is responsible for the yellow pigment in the legs and different body parts of all the domesticated chicken. This species is endemic to India, and even today it is found mainly in peninsular India and towards the northern boundary. It sometimes hybridize in the wild with red junglefowl. They also hybridize readily in captivity and sometimes with free-range domestic fowl kept in habitations close to forests. The male has a black cape with ochre spots and the body plumage on a grey ground colour is finely patterned. The elongated neck feathers are dark and end in a small, hard, yellowish plate. The male has red wattles and combs but not as strongly developed as in the red junglefowl. Legs of males are red and have spurs while the yellow legs of females usually lack spurs. The central tail feathers are long and sickle shaped. Males have an eclipse plumage in which they moult their colourful neck feathers in summer during or after the breeding season. The female is duller and has black and white streaking on the underparts and yellow legs.
One Step Formation of Propene from Ethene or Ethanol through Metathesis on Nickel Ion-loaded Silica AbstractIncreased propene production is presently one of the most significant objectives in petroleum chemistry. Especially the one-step conversion of ethene to propene (ETP reaction, 3C2H4 ® 2C3H6) is the most desired process. In our efforts, nickel ion-loaded mesoporous silica could turn a new type of ETP reaction into reality. The one-step conversion of ethene was 68% and the propene selectivity was 48% in a continuous gas-flow system at 673 K and atmospheric pressure. The reactivity of lower olefins and the dependences of the ETP reaction on the contact time and the partial pressure of ethene were consistent with a reaction mechanism involving dimerization of ethene to 1-butene, isomerization of 1-butene to 2-butene, and metathesis of 2-butene and ethene to yield propene. The reaction was then expanded to an ethanol-to-propene reaction on the same catalyst, in which two possible reaction routes are suggested to form ethene from ethanol. The catalysts were characterized mainly by EXAFS and TPR techniques. The local structures of the nickel species active for the ETP reaction were very similar to that of layered nickel silicate, while those on the inert catalysts were the same as that of NiO particles.

Do you know what the title of this article means? Neither do nine year olds, but they could if scientific jargon didn’t get in the way. Much of science can be easily understood. It’s the words scholars use and linkages they make that complicate the picture for young children. By using the right words, analogies, and techniques, however, it is possible to teach many important scientific concepts to children as young as seven and eight. All science begins with observing and questioning. Learning good observational skills and asking big questions, such as “how” and “why,” are appropriate to virtually all age groups and essential for children. Direct observation makes the abstract real and gives children some control over the subject. Osteology (the study of skeletons and bones) and Paleontology (the study of extinct life) easily draw the attention of children as young as four and five. By using their inherent interest, and asking questions to fully engage their learning, powerful teaching activities can be constructed. Education for any age group requires an understanding of the group’s possibilities and limitations. If children do not grasp the ideas and concepts you present or the examples you use, they will not learn. Even worse, such misunderstandings can make the whole museum experience a negative one. I asked one young boy who endured a guided geology tour far beyond his comprehension if he enjoyed the experience. Mournfully, he responded, “She made us look at every single rock!” Regardless of his instructor’s good intentions, the message received was not a positive one. Before the age of eight, children have difficulty separating the concepts of time and space. That simple but powerful reality jeopardizes the educational value of most historical, archaeological, and paleontological exhibits for younger audiences. It also threatens many of the activities used to teach related concepts. Even the presentation of contemporary osteological specimens can be problematic. Using an isolated skull to symbolize a live animal requires a lower level of abstract thinking. Further abstracting that live animal into concepts of ecological niches, special adaptive characteristics or phylogenic relationships, however, can totally confuse. Though these levels are important and need to be understood, they may not be the best route available to interest young children in nature and how the natural world works. Remember the title of this article, Comparative Functional Osteology for Young Audiences? The title of the actual class taught for seven and eight year olds was Fun with Bones, a more palatable title for both children and their parents. The two-hour class took place at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago a few years ago. The first hour of the class was spent in a classroom with a selection of bones and teeth from different animals. The second hour took place in the Museum’s incredible Osteology Hall. While few museums have as varied a display of contemporary skeletal specimens from so many vertebrate groups, the teaching technique adapts to a wide range of situations. During the initial classroom phase, children handled the bones. Discussion was open but directed. The instructor asked the kids to describe what they saw and, as needed, redirected their attention. The example bones had been chosen to represent large and very small species, different body parts from skulls to feet, and a variety of adaptations such as carnivorous predators and herd herbivores. The method of instruction emphasized question and answer dialogue directed toward observation and comparison. This isn’t new. It is inquiry, or the Socratic method, applied to real objects. For example, the instructor asked the group to look at the teeth from a carnivore and a herbivore. Then, the instructor asked the group to compare the forms of the two sets of teeth. They easily recognized the cutting and piercing function of carnivore teeth and contrasted them with the flat grinding surfaces of herbivore dentition. Following this, the children compared these structures to those of their pets and to different kinds of tools, such as pliers, saws, and knives. Once the basic dentition models were established, other examples including primates were presented. The group was able to identify that the dentition of some animals include teeth having both carnivore and herbivore characteristics. In that way, the concept of omnivores was introduced. A second task used the skull to determine whether an animal was bipedal or quadrupedal. The position of the foramen magnum, the opening in the base of the skull through which the spinal cord connects with the brain, is the primary indicator. If the opening is at the rear of the skull, the skull and spine are in a line parallel to the ground and, therefore, the animal must be quadrupedal. If the foramen magnum is at the base or bottom of the skull, the brain sits on top of the spinal cord, which is perpendicular to the ground, and the animal is bipedal. Throughout the skeleton, similar skeletal structures from different animals were compared and discussion focused on functional differences. Feet were also included. By looking at the structure of a foot, from toe to ankle, students noticed that some had many separate bones while others had bones that were partially or completely fused. The forms of these bones were then related to an animal’s ability to run fast or maneuver from side to side. The horse was the primary example of an animal with a streamlined foot form. The lion exemplified unfused foot elements and adaptations for agility. From these two specimens, other animals with other foot forms were introduced. After the classroom session, the group adjourned to the Osteology Hall. The excitement and level of interest zoomed. The knowledge gained in class now was used in a competitive game . . . who could determine the most things about an animal from its skeleton. The group ricocheted from one mounted skeleton to another. The instructor asked questions about morphology peculiar to each animal. The children were shown that virtually all mammals have the same hand structures. Though the forms are different, the pattern is the same. With that knowledge, the children looked at the flippers of seals, the flukes of a whale, and the front paws of a mole. They compared differences and similarities and then made conjectures about how those forms related to the lifestyle of the animals. Only after a lively observation game was the actual name of each animal given. The primary goal of both the classroom and gallery portions of this class was to help kids understand the nature, rather than just the names, of animals. Why is an elephant an elephant? What is carnivorous about a lion? Why can I scratch the bottom of my foot with my hand but a buffalo can’t? The goals of such specialized museum teaching are simple — to spark the curious mind and to show that learning is achievable and fun. Factual knowledge is passed in the process. If museum educators, regardless of their subject, consider the developmental realities of their audience as closely as they consider their subjects, the needs of their audience, the museum, and the person teaching will be easily met.

When I was a kid in school, I always had trouble swallowing the notion that life on Earth evolved in part from fish just spontaneously walking out of the ocean. Didn't seem terribly plausible to me. That was before I saw the walking catfish. They really do just pick up and leave a pond when they feel like it, traipse down the street, and go to the next pond. If a pond starts to dry out in a drought, no problem, they'll just pack their bags and walk away. If they were just a little smarter, they'd be walking to the store to get cigarettes. Some picky types say they don't truly "walk" but whatever, man, they're using their pectoral fins to propel themselves across the ground like the zombie on The Walking Dead that's missing the lower half of its body and crawling along using its hands while Rick gawks in awe. You wanna change the name to "The Crawling Catfish", be my guest; it sounds just as cool. They apparently started out in Thailand, and over time made their way across Asia, then the Middle East, and then somehow wound up in Florida. (How do all these invasive species find out that Florida's the place to migrate? Do they have a newsletter?) Some have theorized that someone must have imported them for a home aquarium and then released them into the environment, but no one really knows for sure and the fish ain't sayin'. Wikipedia speculates, without source, that some say the infestation occurred when specimens somehow escaped from a truck transporting brood fish between Dade and Broward Counties. Perhaps when the truck driver pulled over to pee, a few of them saw their chance and made a break for freedom. Tilapia farms used to keep their fisheries relatively open to the elements until they saw with horror that walking catfish were strolling out of the woods and marching right into their fish farms, saying "Hi guys!" and proceeding to eat their hosts. Now the farms have extensive fences erected to keep the walkers out, and possibly for good measure some signs reading "No catfish allowed." (Tilapia, ironically enough, are also an invasive species in Florida that wildlife rangers dearly wish they could eradicate from the wild. Good luck with that.) It's illegal to possess a walking catfish nowadays, thanks to overzealous lawmakers who don't seem to understand that Floridians don't possess walking catfish, walking catfish possess Florida. They walk among us. At this point you might as well just start issuing them driver's licenses.

US 4805142 A A read/write memory cell is disclosed in which multiple ROM data states can be stored. Independent sensing of the resistance values of each of two resistors accounts for the storage of multiple ROM data states. The resistors are encompassed in a pair of cross-coupled resistive gate devices forming branch circuits, thereby allowing each branch circuit to control the conduction of current in the other branch circuit. This allows for read/write data storage in flip-flop-like fashion. In addition, since resistive gate devices are used, the ROM data may be programmed during the later stages of manufacturing. 1. A memory cell for storing a plurality of independent data states, each memory cell comprising: first and second branch circuits, each of said branch circuits having a resistive gate device and a resistive gate, one end of said resistive gate in each of said branch circuits coupled to a common cell access node, each of said branch circuits exhibiting an impedance characteristic of a predetermined electrical parameter within said branch circuit as a function of said resistive gate when said branch circuit is in its conductive state, the impedance characteristic of said first branch circuit being independent of the impedance characteristic of said second branch circuit, each value of the impedance characteristic corresponding to a different data state; means within each branch circuit for controlling the conduction of current in the other branch circuit; and means for sensing the impedance characteristic of each of said branch circuits to produce said different data states. 2. The memory cell of claim 1 wherein said first and second branch circuits comprise a pair of interconnected resistive gate devices, one end of the resistive gate of each of said devices serially connected to the drain of the other of said devices, the other end of the resistive gate of each of said devices connected to a common word line, the sources of said devices each connected to a different bit line. 3. The memory cell of claim 2 further comprising a separately gated device coupling the capacitance of one of the internal nodes of said memory cell to a third bit line. 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a read/write memory cell in which multiple read only memory data states can be stored. 2. Description of the Related Art Digital computer systems store information in read only memories (ROM) or read/write memories (R/W). These memories are built in matrix form with multiple rows and columns, the memory cells being located at the intersections of row and column lines. It is known that any of a number of electrical components may be used as a memory cell. For example, one of the earliest ROM memory cells was a resistor selectively connected to the intersections of the row and column lines. The bit status at each bit location was determined by the presence or absence of a particular resistance at the location. Referring to the branch circuit shown in FIG. 1, the basic principle of operation of a typical ROM memory cell will be disclosed. The memory cell includes a field effect transistor (FET) 10. Data is permanently stored in the memory cell by the selection of particular impedance characteristics of FET 10. For example, the threshold voltage of FET 10 may be determined by ion implantation during the manufacturing process. The drain of FET 10 is connected to a drain potential VDD. The gate of FET 10 is connected to Vin, which determines if FET 10 is on or off. The source of FET 10 is connected to Vout. When FET 10 is on, Vout will be VDD minus the threshold voltage of FET 10. The threshold voltage of FET 10 can then be determined by sensing Vout. If the circuit of FIG. 1 is repeated in array fashion, a ROM memory is formed wherein each of the FET devices functions as a memory cell. The FET gates are connected to word lines and the sources are connected to bit lines. A particular memory cell is read by raising the appropriate word line potential to switch on the FET and sensing the voltage on the appropriate bit line. R/W memory cells capable of also operating as ROM memory cells are also known. These memory cells include a pair of the branch circuits shown in FIG. 1. The transistors are cross-coupled to act as a flip-flop. At power-up of the device a built in bias, caused by the different DC impedance of each transistor, pulls the flip-flop into a particular data state. The ROM mode of operation is based on sensing the output voltage of either branch circuit immediately following power up, as previously described. Because of the flip-flop structure, the impedances of the two branch circuits are interdependent. If one branch circuit impedance is high, the other must be low, and vice-versa. Only two ROM bits or data states, 0 or 1, are possible depending upon the relative magnitudes of impedance. Thus, only one ROM data state is capable of being stored. The R/W mode of operation is based on controlling the state of the flip-flop after power-up. These R/W memory cells are therefore capable of storing only one ROM data bit and one R/W data bit simultaneously. As the memory requirements for digital computer systems become more demanding, the storage density of these systems must increase to keep the system from growing prohibitively large and costly. Increasing the ROM data storage capability of previously single bit R/W, single bit ROM memory cells would be one such way of increasing storage density. A R/W memory which is capable of storing multiple ROM data states has heretofore not been recognized. Personalization is the programming of fixed data into ROM memory cells. Depending on the manufacturing process involved, personalization may occur during the early or late stages of device fabrication. It is advantageous to delay memory personalization until the latter stages of the manufacturing process to allow for late changes in the fixed program to be incorporated into the memory. The ability to personalize a memory cell late in the manufacturing process is known as "late programming capability." In view of the foregoing, it is desirable to create a R/W memory cell which can store multiple ROM data states. It would also be desirable that such a memory cell have late programming capability. It is the principal object of this invention to improve memory cells. Another object of this invention is to store multiple ROM data states in a single R/W memory cell. Still another object of this invention is to provide the aforementioned memory cell with late programming capability. These and other objects of this invention are accomplished by sensing each of two independent resistances of the branch circuits of a R/W memory cell. The resistances of two resistors in the branch circuits, unlike the impedances sensed in previous branch circuits, are not interdependent. Therefore, the resistance value of each branch circuit corresponds to individual binary ROM data states. The R/W memory cell of the invention includes a pair of branch circuits each exhibiting a predetermined resistance characteristic when in a conductive state. As stated, each resistance value corresponds to a different ROM data bit status. A pair of cross-coupled resistive gate devices form the branch circuits, thereby allowing each branch circuit to control the conduction of current in the other branch circuit. This allows for R/W storage in flip-flop-like fashion. One end of the resistive gate of each of the devices is serially connected to the drain of the other device. Sensing of the resistance characteristic of each branch circuit can be achieved by connecting the other end of the resistive gate of each of the devices to a common word line, and further connecting the source of each of the devices to different bit lines. FIG. 1 is a circuit schematic of a ROM memory cell. FIG. 2 is a circuit schematic of a R/W memory cell according to the invention, including the connecting word lines and bit lines. FIG. 3 is a rearranged circuit schematic of the same R/W memory cell as shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a circuit schematic of an alternative embodiment of the R/W memory cell of FIG. 2. The R/W memory cell of the invention is shown in FIG. 2. The memory cell includes a pair of cross-coupled resistive gate devices 11 and 12, a known type of FET. Resistive gates 13 and 14 are part of the FET devices themselves, removing the need for additional resistive components. This assures small memory cell size. It is also known that resistive gate device fabrication allows for determining the gate resistance during the late stages of fabrication. The gate resistance is programmed by selective ion implantation of the gate electrode. Thus, because of the late programming capability of resistive gate devices, personalization of the ROM data may be delayed during manufacturing to allow for late changes in the fixed program to be incorporated into the memory. The invention will be disclosed in a series of steps. First, referring to FIG. 2, operation of the R/W memory cell in ROM mode will be described. Next, with reference to FIG. 3, operation of the memory cell in R/W mode will be described. Finally, an alternative embodiment of the invention will be disclosed with reference to FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 2, resistive gate device 12 and resistive gate 13 form a branch circuit similar in operation to that described with respect to FIG. 1. The variable impedance FET is replaced with a variable resistor and a low resistance FET. Terminal Vin is now at resistive gate 14. The source of resistive gate device 12 is connected to bit line 17. Resistive gate device 11 and resistive gate 14 operate similarly except that terminal Vin is now at resistive gate 13 and the source of resistive gate device 11 is connected to bit line 18. Word line 16 operates as a common cell access node to both resistive gates 13 and 14. Two ROM data bits are stored in the R/W memory cell simply by setting the resistance of resistive gates 13 and 14. The two resistances are not interdependent and can therefore be sensed independent of each other as long as the voltage differential between word line 16 and voltage nodes 21 and 22 exceeds the threshold voltage of transistors 11 and 12 respectively. Initially, word line 16 is grounded and bit lines 17 and 18 are precharged to a high voltage level (hereinafter referred to simply as "high") to prevent conduction through resistive gate devices 11 and 12. The data bits are determined by sensing the resistance of resistive gates 13 and 14. To sense the resistance of resistive gate 13, the voltage level of word line 16 is raised high and bit line 17 is placed near ground so that resistive gate device 12 conducts. When resistive gate device 12 is on, the current in bit line 17 is a function of the resistance of resistive gate 13. Therefore, the data bit status may be determined by measuring the current in bit line 17. The resistance of resistive gate 14 is sensed similarly with respect to the operation of word line 16 and bit line 18, and may be done simultaneously with the sensing of resistive gate 13. In ROM mode, the R/W memory cell can store two data bits simultaneously to create four possible data state combinations (0,0), (0,1), (1,0), and (1,1). The memory cell can be extended to store up to N2 data state combinations by providing N possible resistance values for each resistive gate, providing that N-level sensing can be accomplished. The memory cell shown in FIG. 2 can also be operated as a R/W memory. FIG. 3 shows the same memory cell as FIG. 2 redrawn to simplify explanation of the R/W memory cell operation. The cross-coupled device flip-flop can be built with a bias that pulls it into the same state with every power restoration. The bias is determined by the DC impedance characteristics of the transistors and resistors. This data state can be altered to operate the memory cell as a R/W memory. In the R/W memory cell mode, cross-coupled resistive gate devices 11 and 12 are operated as a flip-flop or static latch. Cross-coupling resistive gate devices 11 and 12 allows each branch circuit to control the conduction of current in he other branch circuit. Word line 16 is normally maintained at a high voltage standby level. Bit lines 17 and 18 are normally grounded to maintain a steady state of the memory cell. Data is stored as high or low voltage levels at nodes 21 and 22. Initially, the R/W memory cell is cleared by grounding word line 16 to discharge nodes 21 and 22. When word line 16 is returned to the standby voltage level, the data state of the latch will depend on the resistance value of resistive gates 13 and 14. If resistive gate 13 is of greater resistance than resistive gate 14, the latch will operate in a known manner to set node 21 high, resistive gate device 11 being on. Node 22 will be discharged and resistive gate device 12 will be off. If resistive gate 13 is of lesser resistance than resistive gate 14, the latch will set in the reverse state. If resistive gates 13 and 14 are of the same resistance, the latch will set in an indeterminate manner. Regardless of the data state of the latch after clearance, data must then be written into the latch to set or reset it in the data state desired. For example, to reset node 22 high and node 21 discharged, bit line 18 is raised high. This ensures that node 22 is high and resistive gate device 12 is on. Since bit line 17 is grounded, node 21 will be discharged, thereby turning resistive gate device 11 off. Thus, node 21 is discharged and node 22 remains high. To maintain the data state of the latch by returning to the steady state previously mentioned, bit line 18 is once again grounded. Similarly, to reset node 21 high and node 22 discharged, bit line 17 is raised high. Subsequently discharging bit line 17 maintains the data state of the latch. To read the data stored in the R/W memory, one need only discharge word line 16, thereby ensuring that resistive gate devices 11 and 12 are off. The data state of the latch is then determined by sensing to compare the current on bit lines 17 and 18. After reading the R/W data, the latch must be refreshed to reset it to the proper R/W data state. In addition, data stored in the R/W memory may be read non-destructively. Non-destructive reading is accomplished by temporarily raising the voltage level of word line 16 above the normal standby level. Again, the data state of the latch is determined by sensing to compare the current on bit lines 17 and 18. The R/W memory cell can be used to store data as both a ROM and a R/W memory simultaneously. Multiple data bits can be stored in ROM mode, as previously described, together with a single data bit in R/W mode. However, data cannot be read simultaneously in both modes since word line 16 must be high to sense ROM data and low to sense R/W data. In addition, after ROM data is read the latch must be refreshed to its intended R/W data state. The R/W memory cell can also be used as a single bit ROM, as mentioned in the description of the related art, if such application is desired. FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the memory cell of the invention. The ROM mode of operation for the circuit of FIG. 4 is identical to that for the circuit of FIG. 2. The R/W mode of operation for the circuit of FIG. 4 is different than that for FIG. 2 and is similar to that for a conventional 6-device static cell except that one of the pair of I/O devices is missing. Elements of the memory cell retained from FIGS. 2 and 3 continue to be designated by the same numeral. FET 31 is used as an I/O device to write data into the memory cell. Word line 33 is used to control the state of FET 31 to input data from third bit line 32. Pulsing word line 33 high allows for direct setting of node 22. Since the voltage level of node 22 also determines whether resistive gate device 12 is conducting, node 21 is also set. ROM mode bit lines 17a and 18a are maintained at ground in R/W mode. Select line 16a is maintained high in R/W mode. Data is read in the same manner as that described for the R/W memory cell of FIGS. 2 and 3. R/W mode operation of the memory cell of FIG. 4 may be faster than that of FIGS. 2 and 3 because of the direct setting of data states. However, the extra device tends to require more circuit space, thereby reducing the overall storage density. Thus, which circuit one chooses to use may best be determined by the specific application. While the invention has been described with respect to a preferred and alternative embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit, scope, and teaching of the invention. For example, any impedance characteristic of a predetermined electrical parameter may be used in the memory cells in place of resistance with the appropriate modification. Also, resistive gate devices need not be used to accomplish the storage of multiple ROM data states. Instead, distinct transistors and resistors may be used. Accordingly, the memory cells herein disclosed are to be limited only as specified in the following claims.

Mesh erosion is a possible and serious complication of hernia repair surgery. Not only is it a complication itself, but it leads to further, sometimes life-threatening, complications. When it erodes, the hernia mesh implant must be removed, but this can sometimes be difficult depending on the nature of the erosion. If the mesh used in your hernia repair surgery was defective and as such eroded and caused complications and injuries, then you may be entitled to file a hernia mesh lawsuit to recover compensatory damages. Here, our product liability and personal injury attorneys answer questions about the mesh erosion and after hernia mesh repair surgery. - 1. What is mesh erosion? - 2. What complications are caused by mesh erosion? - 3. What are the symptoms or signs of mesh erosion? - 4. How is mesh erosion diagnosed? - 5. Will you need to have another surgery? - 6. Are there mesh products more known to erode than others? - 7. When should you contact a personal injury lawyer? Mesh erosion is the degradation of a mesh implant. It can occur relatively quickly, but most times it is a gradual degradation worsening over time. There are typically two ways erosion commences: (1) the body attacks it; or (2) the mesh migrates. Mesh erosion is often the result of a defective mesh implant that has been inserted in the body and the body treats it as a foreign object. The body’s immune system sends cells to the site of the implant to attack it. This creates inflammation. The inflammation breaks down and degrades the mesh product as the body tries to fight the foreign object. This begins the erosion process.1 At this point, too, the mesh may begin to shrink in size and/or migrate, and when it does, further complications can result. One complication of hernia mesh implants is mesh migration. When mesh loosens, breaks, or tears from its fixed location, it can migrate through the body. As it does, the integrity of the implant breaks down. The mesh may then begin to erode into viscous or tissue.2 The complications of mesh erosion typically include: Signs and symptoms of mesh erosion may not materialize until years after the erosion has started.4 But when the symptoms do start to show, they include: - unexplained infection or chronic infection - fever when its cause is unknown - chills, nausea, and/or vomiting, and other flu-like symptoms but no flu - bulging in the area of the hernia - mild to severe pain in and around the area of the hernia. Whether or not you can link these symptoms to hernia mesh erosion does not matter — you should always consult with your doctor about any unexplained illness. When you see your doctor, make sure he or she is informed of your hernia repair surgery history. Diagnosis can be difficult. Your doctor will likely need to take an x-ray, CT scan, or MRI to determine what’s happening to the mesh. You will likely need surgery. If the mesh has eroded, the doctor will determine if removal is necessary or if it can be repaired without removal. Each case will vary according to the circumstances and nature of: - the mesh; - extent of erosion; - extent of other complications; and - your overall health. Any mesh product has the ability to erode given the circumstances: whether your body attacks it or not. There are two materials, however, that are most often linked to mesh erosion, and they are: - Polypropylene — a cheap plastic commonly used in hernia mesh products;5 and - Organic material — like omega fatty acids from fish oil.6 Some hernia mesh manufacturers using these materials have or are undergoing lawsuits. These include: If you have had hernia repair surgery and have experienced complications as a result of the surgery and/or the mesh implant used, it is in your best interests to contact a hernia mesh product liability and personal injury attorney. He or she can help your understand your rights and whether or not you may be eligible for compensation. At Shouse Law Group, our personal injury lawyers are experienced, insightful, and resourceful.

A Guide to Buying and Cooking Crab The most commonly available types of crab, depending on where you live, include: blue crabs from the East Coast, Dungeness from the West Coast, king crabs from Alaska, and stone crabs from Florida. Blue crabs are small, sold live and usually boiled, steamed or turned into soup. During spring, when the crabs molt, you can find soft-shell crabs sold cleaned. The entire soft-shell crab is edible, and it's superb when lightly floured, sautéed and served with lemon. Fresh-picked blue crab meat is sold as "lump," meaning large chunks (the most desirable and pricey), or "flake," indicating smaller bits. Dungeness crabs are larger than blue crabs, and they are usually sold cooked, often frozen. King crabs can weigh up to 25 pounds. The legs are usually sold cooked and frozen. Black-tipped stone crab, a delicacy of Floridian waters, is hardly ever sold whole. When captured, one of the claws is broken off and the live crab is thrown back into the water to regenerate another smaller claw. The claws are usually sold cooked and frozen.
Inductive Reasoning Tests often form part of a job selection process. From administrators to managers, inductive reasoning can form a crucial part of your job selection process. The reason for their popularity in job screening processes is due to the tests allowing employers to determine the way in which you think and react to new rules and scenarios. This is a skill required in nearly all jobs. Inductive reasoning is sometimes mixed up with diagrammatic reasoning or abstract reasoning. Example inductive reasoning tests include: Identifying a pattern between objects or verbal data and determining the next step in the pattern. Put more simply, the aim is to look at images (or text) and work out the pattern. It is important to practise these pre-employment selection tests as without an understanding of the principles involved or the practise under strict timed conditions you are limiting your chances of success. This workbook provides a complete guide to taking inductive reasoning tests and consists of 100s of sample test questions and answers. Each question is also accompanied with a detailed explanation so that you understand exactly how to answer each question.
A waxy substance, LDL cholesterol (which stands for Low density lipoprotein cholesterol) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein. It is commonly referred to as bad cholesterol, because at excessive levels, it has harmful effects on the body. It accumulates to block or clog the blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, stroke, coronary artery disease, or many other cardiovascular diseases. Foods are by far the main contributors to blood cholesterol levels, including the following four foods, which you should avoid as much as possible. Butter contains omega-6 fatty acids (not to be confused with omega-3 fatty acids), which have been proven to increase LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol blood levels. This high level of LDL cholesterol causes diseases which include cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome. 2. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) High Fructose Corn Syrup is sometimes added to foods to make them sweet. The problem with it is that fructose can only be metabolized by the liver, but if you take more than what the liver can handle at a time, the rest will be converted to other compounds including fats and LDL cholesterol for storage. The fats can be stored in cells but they sometimes leak into blood vessels where they can also increase LDL cholesterol blood levels. Many things we eat today contain or have fructose added to them, from most types of bread, to honey, to drinks, right down to some vegetables. 3. Meats with fats Fatty meats increase the blood’s LDL cholesterol levels because the fat, when ingested, are digested into simple sugars which enter the blood. In the blood they are joined and turned into either fat again for storage or into LDL cholesterol. 4. Fried foods Fried foods contain hydrogenated and saturated fats that are especially potent in raising body fats, especially if they have been fried in vegetable oil. They follow the same mechanism as meats with fats. They are digested into sugars that are turned into cholesterol in the blood. Image Courtesy of: hadibody.com, cloudfront.net.
आई डब्लू एम बज्ज.कॉम ने सोनी टीवी के शो इशारों इशारों में की समीक्षा की। सुपरनैचुरल और बहुत सारा ड्रामा जहा टीवी को राज कर रहे है वह सोनी टीवी का नया शो इशारों इशारों में (किजागो) एक ताजी और कुछ अलग हवा की तरह आया है। गूंगे और बहरे कपल का ये प्यारा सा रोमांस, योगी (मुदित नायर) और गुंजन (सिमरन परीनजा), कुछ अलग अंदाज के साथ काफी दिलचस्प होगा। सेटिंग पुरानी दिल्ली का भीड़भाड़ वाला इलाका है, जहां योगी अपने परिवार के साथ रहते हैं और काम करते हैं। सभी टीवी शो में संयुक्त परिवार कैसे आते हैं? मैं कभी असल जीवन में इतना शांति पूर्ण साथ रहना नहीं देखा है। पहला एपिसोड जहा योगी के पिता प्रकाश (किरण कर्मकार) पूरे घर को रेजर के लिए नीचे बुला लेते है। और सोकर प्लेयर होने के नाते क्या योगी टीम खेलने के महत्व को समझ नहीं पाना चाहिए। सेल्फ ग्लोरी की खोज भी विनाशकारी साबित होता है। क्रिएटिव उन्हें आइकॉनिक रिवर्स फ्लिक किक का चित्रण करवाना चाहते है। जैसा कि हमने कहा, जहा पिता खेल के मैदान में आ जाते है और उनके चेस्ट पर हिट लग जाती है वो काफी मजेदार था। और भाई बहन (योगी और खुशी) की जोड़ी ने हमारे चेहरे पर मुस्कुराहट ला दी। योगी के लिए उनकी बहन बोलती है। एक अलग टेम्पलेट यह है कि आम तौर पर सबसे अधिक शो में लड़की की मां को चिंता होती है कि बेटी अभी अविवाहित है। यहां योगी की मां कुसुम (स्वाती शाह) किसी भी अजनबी लड़की को योगी की तस्वीर दिखती हैं। लेकिन वो हमेशा निराश हो जाती है क्योंकि लड़किया योगी की कमियां सुनकर मना कर देती है। क्या ये विचार आपको नहीं आता कि सभी को खुश रहने का अधिकार है।। प्यारे परिवार का अंताक्षरी खेलते हुए दृश्य एक परफेक्ट राजश्री पल है। यद्यपि योगी के दादीद रामल्ल श्रीवास्तव (सुधीर पांडे) अपने बेटे की सबके सामने गुस्सा करते हो लेकिन , वह भी उसकी पीठ के पीछे उसकी प्रशंसा करते है। पीछे की कहानी के बारे में कि प्रकाश अपने करियर में क्यों विफल रहा था उसके कारण है। पहले कुछ एपिसोड की रन लेंथ स्टैंडर्ड २० ओड मिनट्स से ज्यादा थी, लेकिन अब चीज़े सामान्य हो गई है। ये चीज हमेशा शो की वैल्यू को और बढ़ाने के लिए होती है। सीनियर जेनरेशन ( रामलाल सुलभा आर्य उर्फ गीता देवी, प्रकाश सुमन) का रोमांस काफी क्यूट था। फीमेल लीड, गुंजन एक प्यारी गूंगी बहरी लड़की जिसके पिता शिव कुमार (सूरज थापर) अपनी बेटी की शादी करने के लिए कितना भी दहेज देने के लिए तैयार है ताकि उनकी बेटी सेटल हो जाए लेकिन काश। योगी गुंजन से काफी प्रसन्न है और हमेशा उसका साइकिल पर पीछा करते है। लेकिन वो हमेशा आखिर में डॉक्टर परी (देबत्तमा साह) से क्रैश हो जाते है। उनके पिता हमेशा उन्हें इस घटना में पकड़ लेते है। दिलचस्प बात यह है कि पहली बार, एक महिला प्रमुख चरित्र (पारी) को पीने और पार्टी का प्रदर्शन किया जा रहा है। जैसा कि भाग्य है, प्रकाश और शिव कुमार बचपन के दोस्त है, क्या ये दोनों मिलेंगे? वो दृश्य जहा योगी गुंजन से मिलने के पहले देसी सलॉन सजने के लिए जाते है वो काफी मजेदार था। इसके अलावा उनके उनकी दोस्त के साथ ये बातचीत कि शुरुआत कैसे करनी हैवो भी एक मजेदार पल था। योगी आर गुंजन के बीच रोमांस देखना काफी दिलचस्प होगा। हमे यकीन है की संदर्भ खामोशी (नाना पाटेकर और सीमा बिस्वास) से लिया जाएगा। लेकिन ये टीवी सीरीज फिल्म से अलग होगा। लीड बिना डायलॉग्स एक क्रिएटिव चुनौती है प्रोड्यूसर (जमा हबीब) के लिए, जैसा कि आप हमेशा साइन लैंग्वेज और दोहराने वाले पल नहीं रख सकते है। और लव ट्राइंगल (योगी, गुंजन और परी) काफी दिलचस्प होगा ये देखना की कोई उसे प्यार कर सकता है जो ना बोल सकता है और ना सुन सकता है। यह अनुमान लगाने के लिए कोई पुरस्कार नहीं है कि वही योगी का इलाज करने की कोशिश करेंगी, लेकिन उसके साथ प्यार करने लगेंगी। मुदित योगी के किरदार में काफी अच्छा काम कर रहे है, अपने हाथ और फेस द्वारा काफी अच्छी भावनाएं दे रहे है। उम्मीद है, वे कुछ दृश्यों को दिखाए जहां वो अपने दुर्भाग्य के लिए भाग्य को दोषी ठराए, क्योंकि इससे वो और अधिक सामान्य इंसान दिखे। अभी तक सिमरन ने एक बिना कारण मुस्कान के अलावा कुछ नहीं किया है। कुनाल जी काफी अच्छा किरदार निभा रहे है एक सख्त लेकिन प्यार करने वाले पिता। कुसुम हमेशा उन्हें शांत कर देती है (शाहरुख खान से स्वयं की कथित समानता)। हमे उम्मीद है कि क्रिएटिव ऋषिना कंधारी की भाभी के किरदार को कुछ एज देंगे जैसे स्टोरी आगे जा रही है। वो सारी में काफी सुंदर दिख रही है। जैसा कि हमेशा होता है, बाकी परिवार के किरदार को कैनवस फिल करने के लिए रखा जाता है। सोनी के अधिकतर फिक्शन के काम नंबर मेकर्स के लिए चुनौती है। एक तरह से, यह निर्माताओं के एक आशीर्वाद साबित होगा, क्योंकि चैनल मंडरिन जल्दी बदलाव का सहारा नहीं लेंगे, जिससे कहानी को अपने प्राकृतिक पाठ्यक्रम का पालन करना होगा। ३.५/५ इशारों इशारों में के लिए हमारी रेटिंग है।
- Categories: Tree Care Professional Tree Cabling Services in CT When trees have a poor branching habit, split or cracked limb structures, areas of decay, or a poor root system, there is always a risk for structural failure. Some tree species produce a heavy crop of fruit or acorns which adds to the potential for structural failure. Improper pruning in the past can also lead to structural failure. When these weak areas fail, large limbs, trunks, or entire trees may come crashing down on anything underneath them. Our licensed arborists are properly trained in this area of expertise and will be happy to inspect your trees. Only a professional arborist should perform tree cabling or bracing – and we are the pros you should call first. Call to schedule a free estimate today – (203) 264-9937. In the case of weak limb structures, cables and bracing rods may be installed to offer necessary tree/branch support. Properly placed cables between limbs can help redistribute the load of weight, allowing the limbs or trunks to support each other. Bracing rods are often used to support splitting limbs by bolting them together. Installing cabling/bracing offers additional support but does NOT offer any guarantee they will not fail in the future. Remember that ALL trees can fail given the right circumstances, regardless of their size. Cabling is intended to offer additional support for trees with structural problems or poor architecture. For example, a tree with a tight “V” attachment may have codominant stems, which are more vulnerable to failure during extreme weather conditions, such as wind or ice load. Depending on the specific tree, one of two cabling options are available: Static or Dynamic cabling. Static cables consist of a steel cable that is attached between two stems by drilling into each stem. These cables minimize movement of the stems being supported and are used to provide support to very weak attachments or attachments that are already beginning to fail. Dynamic cable is a woven, rope-like material that is spliced around the stems of the tree between the stems being supported. This type of cabling allows more natural movement between stems, while still providing support. In either case, more than one cable may be required for proper support. If you are concerned with the structural integrity of your tree, your Certified Arborist can help you decide if cabling is right for your tree, and which method is appropriate.
Henry Gray (18251861). Anatomy of the Human Body. 1918. chromatin, and is generally regarded as the nucleus of the cell surrounded by a thin envelope. The neck is less constricted in the human spermatozoön than in those of some of the lower animals. The anterior centriole, represented by two or three rounded particles, is situated at the junction of the head and neck, and behind it is a band of homogeneous substance. The connecting piece or body is rod-like, and is limited behind by a terminal disk. The posterior centriole is placed at the junction of the body and neck and, like the anterior, consists of two or three rounded particles. From this centriole an axial filament, surrounded by a sheath, runs backward through the body and tail. In the body the sheath of the axial filament is encircled by a spiral thread, around which is an envelope containing mitochondria granules, and termed the mitochondria sheath. The tail is of great length, and consists of the axial thread or filament, surrounded by its sheath, which may contain a spiral thread or may present a striated appearance. The terminal portion or end-piece of the tail consists of the axial filament only. FIG. 7 Scheme showing analogies in the process of maturation of the ovum and the development of the spermatids (young spermatozoa). (See enlarged image) Krause gives the length of the human spermatozoön as between 52μ and 62μ, the head measuring 4 to 5μ, the connecting piece 6μ, and the tail from 41μ to 52μ. By virtue of their tails, which act as propellers, the spermatozoa are capable of free movement, and if placed in favorable surroundings, e. g., in the female passages, will retain their vitality and power of fertilizing for several days. In certain animals, e. g., bats, it has been proved that spermatozoa retained in the female passages for several months are capable of fertilizing. The spermatozoa are developed from the primitive germ cells which have become imbedded in the testes, and the stages of their development are very similar to those of the maturation of the ovum. The primary germ cells undergo division and produce a number of cells termed spermatogonia, and from these the primary spermatocytes are derived. Each primary spermatocyte divides into two secondary spermatocytes, and each secondary spermatocyte into two spermatids or young spermatozoa; from this it will be seen that a primary spermatocyte gives rise to four spermatozoa. On comparing this process with that of the maturation of the ovum (Fig. 7) it will be observed that the primary spermatocyte gives rise to two cells, the secondary spermatocytes, and the primary oöcyte to two cells, the secondary oöcyte and the first polar body. Again, the two secondary spermatocytes
Neuritis is a more of a symptom rather than a condition. Basically it's an inflammation of a peripheral nerve, often accompanied by degenerative changes in the nervous tissue. The effects are usually a tingling, burning, pin-and-needle sensation, or even a loss of sensation much like a peripheral neuropathy. The treatment is directed at the underlying cause. There are many possible causes. The cause can be mechanical by injury or pressure to the nerve or it can be vascular by occlusion of the vessels that supply blood to the nerve. It can be infectious and caused by invading microorganisms, or metabolic by a deficiencies in vitamins or pernicious anemia. Any type of neuritis of the lower extremity that is getting worse, appears rapidly, or has an unknown cause should be seen by your podiatrist or physician.
Amazon Jungle Overview - Official Name: Amazon basin / Amazon rainforest - Also Known As: Amazonia / Amazon Jungle - Government: 54% of the Amazon basin is in Brazil, remainder in Peru and other countries. The Amazon rainforest covers the basin / parts of nine countries, 60% in Brazil, 13% in Peru, and smaller areas of Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. - Population: Sparsely populated, scattered cities including Manaus & Belem (Brazil), Iquitos & Puerto Maldonado (Peru). The Amazon region contains over 300 indigenous tribes. About 70 tribes have yet to make formal contact with the outside world. Less than 200,000 indigenous people live in the rainforest. - Language: Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish widely spoken elsewhere, many languages spoken by indigenous people. - Amazon River: Second longest in the world - 6,400 kilometres from Andes to Atlantic Ocean. - Total Land Area: 5,500,000 square kilometres (2,123,562 square miles) in the Amazon basin. The Amazon is an area of tropical evergreen broadleaf rainforest covering half a billion square kilometres over 9 countries in the northern area of South America. The forest receives a high rainfall (more than 2,000 millimetres or 80 inches annually) throughout the year. The life force of the Amazon rainforest is the Amazon River, which begins in the Andes Mountains at the west of the Amazon basin, and covers a distance of about 6,400 kilometres (4,000 miles) before draining into the Atlantic Ocean at Belem, Brazil. The Amazon accounts for about 20% of the total water carried to the oceans by rivers and is fed by some 1,100 tributaries, 17 of which are thousands of kilometres long, with the entire network covering some 6 million square kilometres. Back to top A visit to the Amazon Jungle of Peru, Brazil or Ecuador with Tucan Travel offers the opportunity to breathe in some of the purest air on the planet and see some of the world’s most amazing birds and animals in their natural rainforest habitat. From bullet ants to tarantulas, jaguars to capybaras, piranhas to giant river otters, capuchins to howler monkeys and much more, this is an important destination not to be missed. The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2,000 birds and mammals. To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 3,000 fish, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region. One in five of all the birds in the world live in the rainforests of the Amazon. Scientists have described between 96,660 and 128,843 invertebrate species in Brazil alone. The diversity of plant species in the Amazon is the highest on Earth. Experts estimate that one square kilometre of Amazon rainforest can contain about 90,790 tonnes of living plants, comprised of 75,000 types of trees and 150,000 species of higher plants. An estimated 438,000 species of plants of economic and social interest have been registered in the region with many more remaining to be discovered or catalogued. Back to top The Amazon rainforest has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its crucial role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. About half the world’s tropical rainforests are in Brazil and Peru, in the Amazon region. Due to deforestation, rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth’s land surface, and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change. The biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest is of profound importance to the wellbeing of mankind and in fact, the planet. Apart from the fact that it is responsible for global ecological services such as water filtration and carbon sequestration (locking carbon into trees, recycling the oxygen into the atmosphere), the rainforest is also a giant pharmacy with tremendous unrealised potential for treating diseases. For example, more than 120 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. Although 25% of western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists. Some of the medical problems solved with rainforest plants include malaria (the bark of the cinchona tree produces quinine), while strokes, seizure, depression and heart disease have been treated with a drug developed from the secretions of an Amazonian frog called Phyllomedusa bicolour. Meanwhile, at least 80% of the developed world’s diet derives from the rainforest, including corn, potatoes, rice, sugar, spices, vanilla, avocadoes, tomatoes and bananas. Scientists estimate that more than half of all the world’s plant and animal species live in rainforest, with one in ten known species of the world live in the Amazon rainforest. This constitutes the largest collection of living plants and animal species in the world. The warm, wet forests of the Americas have been in existence for 55 million years, and thrived even during glacial periods, allowing for the evolution of an unparalleled diversity of species. Radiocarbon dating has revealed trees of 10 centimetre diameter to be more than 300 years old, and some trees over 1000 years old, indicating that untouched forests can experience incredible longevity. The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11,200 years ago. European explorers arrived in the 16th century, bringing diseases which travelled faster than the colonisers themselves, killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants. By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was dominated by Portuguese and Spanish explorers. Intense deforestation began in the 20th century, with 587,000 square kilometres lost up to the year 2000. Most deforested land is used for livestock pasture, agriculture and the cultivation of crops like soy beans (Brazil). The addition of transport routes has lead to increased settlement and deforestation, and at the current rate, scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him” (Psa 126:5-6). The metaphor here seems to be that of a poor farmer who has had a very bad harvest the year before. A very scanty portion of grain and food has been gathered from the earth, yet the seeding time has come again. Out of the previous year’s famine, he must plant for a new year. Maybe only a little seed has been saved to be sown, or perhaps the farmer has purchased the seed at great expense, in hopes of another crop to feed his family. The poor farmer must sow, or else despair and perish. He carries his precious seed with him in his bag, and with a sorrowful heart commits it to the plowed soil. Though the sowing of seed is a work of labor and sorrow, yet the return (the harvest) brings rejoicing. Works which are begun under many difficulties, and which require much labor, are crowned with success. The joy is more than equivalent to all the weariness and sorrow felt in carrying out the task whether it is the toil of the farmer; the cares and anxieties of the student; the work of conversion and repentance; the labors of the preacher or minister; the efforts of the Bible class teacher; the faithfulness of the Christian parent; the endeavors of elders in overseeing the flock; even the zeal and sacrifice of the Christian missionary. Whoever labors hard, in cold and in rain, in fear and danger, in poverty and in want, casting his precious seed in the ground, will surely come again, at harvest-time, with rejoicing, and bearing his sheaves with him. The prophets who sowed in tears will reap in joy. The righteous were persecuted and served their God with weeping (Hos. 10:12). Paul wept as he sowed the seed of the kingdom, but he will reap in joy (John 4:34-38). Paul sowed the word of God to Ephesus and many others (Acts 20:17-19). He reminded them of the tears he shed in sowing the seed to them (Acts 20:31). He did not labor in vain, but reaped in joy. Those who sin can sow the word and humble themselves to obey (Jas. 4:9-10). Those who sow in tears of sorrow for their weaknesses can still sow and reap in joy. Jesus is the classic example of one who sowed in tears and reaped in joy (Heb. 5:7). Who could possibly reap more than Jesus? - What reasons might make the farmer sow his seed with tears (Psa. 126:5)? - Why would the analogy of sowing and reaping be such a graphic illustration to those living in Israel during David’s time? - Why would Christians sow eternal seed in tears? - Explain how the time of reaping would bring joy to those who sow the seed. - What does the faithful Christian mother do with her children every day (2 Tim. 3:15)? - How would a faithful, qualified elder sow in tears and reap in joy? - When are we to sow the seed (2 Tim. 4:2)? - If we do not work in the field when it is “cold,” to whom will we be likened (Prov. 20:4)? What will he and we have in the harvest? - What is the eternal seed (Matt. 13:22-23; Luke 8:11)? - What if a farmer sowed the wrong seed or mixed seed? Would he then reap in joy? - According to the parable of the sower, the word of God is the seed sown in the hearts of men. What is the fruit of that seed? - Using the vine analogy, what are God’s children in the vine (John 15:5)? - Is the fruit which the branch produces grapes or more branches (John 15:2)? - Is the child of God commanded to bear more branches or more fruit (John 15:8)? - What is the fruit that the child of God is to produce (Tit. 3:14)? - What does the Father purge so the branch will bear more fruit (John 15:2)? - Some say the fruit of a Christian is another Christian. If this is true and the Christian is a branch, what would the Christian produce? - If the Christian bears another branch, and the Father purges the first branch, what would happen to the second branch? - If the fruit of a Christian is another Christian, what does the Father promise to do if the first branch produces fruit (good works) (John 15:2; Tit 3:14)? - Find as many ways as you can to show how the apostle Paul sowed in tears and reaped in joy. Remember that Paul wrote at least 13 of the NT epistles and possibly 14. There are examples of his “sowing in tears” in all of his letters. Pay particular attention to 2 Corinthians, chapters 10 through 13.
Save Money and Reduce Trash (SMART) SMART, also known as Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT), is a method of charging for trash disposal based on the amount disposed. SMART is globally recognized as the single most effective action a municipality can take to reduce waste, increase recycling, and reduce climate impact. SMART is a key cost savings strategy for municipalities to meet the state’s 60% diversion goal by 2024. The State has long identified SMART as a key strategy for reducing waste; most recently in the State’s Comprehensive Materials Management Strategy (2016) and previously in the Modernizing Recycling Working Group Recommendations (2012) and the State’s Solid Waste Management Plan (original dated 1991, amended in 2006). - Fiscally Responsible - Environmentally Responsible - Socially Responsible SMART is a system in which residents pay for municipal solid waste (MSW) services per unit of waste discarded rather than solely through a fixed fee or property tax. When residents pay directly for waste disposal services, they are provided with a financial incentive to reduce their waste through reuse or donations, waste reduction, recycling, and composting. A variety of states (MA, ME, RI, VT) including CT, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC), and the Northeast Waste Management Officials Association (NEWMOA) have evaluated SMART and agree that it is essential to achieving sustainable materials management at the state and municipal level. A handful of Connecticut municipalities have joined the over 7,000 communities nationwide (EPA) that have successfully implemented SMART programs. This means that households in their towns are charged for waste collection based on the amount of waste they throw away - in the same way that they are charged for electricity, gas, and other utilities. This provides incentives for residents to not only increase the amount they recycle and donate but also to think about ways to generate less waste in the first place. SMART programs are flexible and work in many types of communities at the curb or at the transfer station using variable sized bags or carts. The pricing of the bags or carts is structured so that residents are incentivized to choose a smaller size, thus reducing the amount of trash generated and increasing composting and recycling. Implement SMART first before other materials management programs. Residents are more likely to participate in curbside or drop-off food collection programs if they already actively manage their trash (ILSR, 2018). Education and outreach programs help increase awareness and participation levels but do not reduce waste at the magnitude of a SMART program. Pay-As-You-Throw or SMART programs “reward all behaviors—recycling, composting, and source reduction—that reduce the amount of garbage thrown away. Source reduction is the cheapest waste management strategy and thus of the highest priority” (The Reason Foundation, 2002). SMART is Fiscally Responsible Transparency of solid waste management costs coupled with SMART economic signals (creating a connection between reducing costs and reducing trash) incentivizes households to produce less trash. Because residents immediately feel the pinch when they throw away trash, they pay attention. And through paying attention to what can be recycled in the blue bin, donated to a thrift store, or reused reduces waste and reduces what a resident spends on trash. This results in less tonnage hauled and tipped at the waste-to-energy facility. SMART results in big cost savings to cities and towns, and provides an important ability to control future costs of trash disposal. As an example, Stonington, CT has saved over $7M on avoided waste disposal costs since implementing SMART in 1992. By implementing SMART, and reducing trash management costs, municipalities have the opportunity to free up critical funds for use elsewhere in their budgets. SMART is a key cost savings strategy to help municipalities meet diversion goal of 60% by 2024 as outlined in the 2016 Comprehensive Materials Management Strategy. SMART programs divert materials from CT’s waste-to-energy facilities and into the materials reuse and recycling streams. Reuse and recycling materials uses less energy and in turn generates less greenhouse gas emissions than burning or landfilling trash. Statewide implementation of SMART would result in reducing greenhouse gases by the equivalent of installing one solar panel on every house in CT (Waste Zero and EPA GHG Equivalencies Calculator). - An Analysis of SMART for CT Municipalities (Waste Zero 2016-2018) - Sustainable CT, A statewide program run by the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University, Sustainable CT inspires and supports communities to become more efficient, resilient, and inclusive. Under action 7.6 “Implement Save Money and Reduce Trash (SMART) program,” municipalities can earn points under this and other actions for efforts to reduce residential trash generation. - The Northeast Waste Management Officials Association (NEWMOA) provides case studies, outreach materials, workshop presentations and a SMART toolkit for rural communities. - Massachusetts DEP has extensive resources available including data and program information for existing MA SMART programs, fact sheets, presentations, and case studies. - MA DEP Pay-As-You-Throw: An Implementation Guide for Solid Waste Unit-Based Pricing Programs - MA DEP SMART Bag Vendors on State Contract for bag administration and distribution services - National League of Cities identifies PAYT (aka SMART) as top strategy to reduce municipal solid waste. - Institute for Local Self Reliance analyzed data revealing that PAYT (aka SMART) is “the single most effective way to educate and motivate residents to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost” and is recognized as the vital first step to reaching zero waste. - Mansfield, CT residents generate 500 pounds of trash per capita annually compared to average CT resident of 740 pounds - Stonington, CT has saved $7M on trash since 1992 - The Northeast Waste Management Officials Association (NEWMOA) developed case studies on several rural communities in New England for others to learn from - Massachusetts has 153 communities with SMART (or Pay as You Throw) with an average waste generation of 432 pounds per person annually (MA DEP and Waste Zero). MA DEP Case Studies are available to learn how programs in curbside and drop-off communities were implemented Case Studies to Learn From - Columbia, CT Transfer Stations Pricing Examples in Connecticut There are about 30 programs at municipal transfer stations in CT, varying from stickers and punch cards to pay-per-bag. The following is not an inclusive listing, but can be used to compare program features and pricing for municipalities interested in implementing a program at their transfer station. When reviewing these programs, please keep in mind that a SMART program is most effective when (1) most of the households in a municipality participate in the program and (2) when the cost structure is designed to provide a real incentive to reduce the amount of trash disposed.

When changing the fuel or using new gasoline for the first time, make sure that you use the correct type to avoid damaging the engine. Always start out by using unleaded gasoline that has a pump octane rating of at least 86, though higher is better. The Honda EB11000 engine operates on unleaded gasoline, as this variety produces significantly fewer spark plug deposits when compared to other varieties. The gasoline can also extend the exhaust system’s life. Be sure to avoid using contaminated or stale gasoline, and only use a pure mixture. Avoid using oil or gasoline mixtures in the fuel tank. If you hear pinging with a steady engine speed under a relatively normal load, change the brand of gasoline used, and contact a service dealer if the pinging persists.The spark arrestor needs to be serviced roughly every 100 hours to keep it working as intended. This is important, as a malfunctioning spark arrestor can result in damage to the entire system. If the engine had previously been running, allow the muffler and exhaust pipe to cool down before taking a look at the spark arrestor. To service, remove the screw and use a brush to clean the building carbon deposits around the spark arrestor’s screen. Check the surface to make sure the spark arrestor is free of holes and breaks, and reinstall it if it’s in good condition. If not, replace it.Follow your generator’s recommended maintenance schedule as closely as possible to avoid operational problems. Owners should check their system’s oil levels prior to use and change the oil the first of every month, or every day, depending on how often the generator is used. Replace the oil filter roughly once every 200 hours of operation, as this prevents unwanted debris from gumming up the interior. Staying on top of the air filters is crucial as well, as clogged air filters can result in overheating and internal damage. Check them carefully every time you run the generator, and have the air filter replaced roughly once every 300 hours of operation, or once a year. Clean the air filters approximately every 100 hours of operation. Check and adjust the manual settings every several months as well, as the idle speed affects the system’s operation. If the generator is stored in an area that frequently experiences dust and other types of debris, it would be wise to take these steps more often. Sometimes, Honda generators will require new OEM parts instead of a quick check or adjustment. When new parts are the only way to keep the equipment operating at peak efficiency and power, visit HondaLawnParts.com to find a perfect fit for your EB11000 or any of Honda’s generators. OEM parts ensure full compatibility and long-term durability, giving your equipment the power to last through many years of use. Honda Lawn Parts will have the parts your need shipped directly to your door anywhere in the U.S or Canada.
पटना। बिहार टॉपर घोटाले के दो साल बाद प्रदेश में शिक्षा की पोल एक बार फिर खुल गई है। बिहार में शिक्षा का स्तर कितना बेहाल हो गया है, इसका ताजा उदाहरण तब देखने को मिला जब कुछ छात्रों ने शिकायत की कि उन्हें कुल अंकों से भी ज्यादा अंक मिले हैं। १२वीं कक्षा के कई छात्रों ने ये शिकायत की है कि उन्हें परीक्षा के कुल अंकों से भी ज्यादा अंक दिए गए हैं, वहीं कुछ छात्रों को उन विषयों में भी मार्क्स मिले हैं, जिसकी परीक्षा में वो बैठे ही नहीं। इसी तरह पूर्वी चंपारण के संदीप शर्मा को फिजिक्स के पेपर में ३८ अंक प्राप्त हुए। फिजिक्स का पेपर सिर्फ ३५ अंक का था। संदीप ने कहा कि, 'ये कैसे संभव है? मुझे इंग्लिश और राष्ट्र भाषा में ऑब्जेक्टिव-टाइप सवालों में जीरो अंक मिले हैं।' दरभंगा के राहुल कुमार को मैथ्स ऑब्जेक्टिव के ३५ अंक के पेपर में ४० अंक मिले हैं। जहां कई छात्रों को कुल अंकों से ज्यादा मार्क्स दिए गए, वहीं कई ऐसे भी छात्र थे जिन्हें परीक्षा में बिना बैठे ही नंबर दे दिए गए। वैशाली की जानवी सिंह को बायोलॉजी के पेपर में १८ अंक मिले, जबकि वो इसके पेपर में बैठी ही नहीं थीं। इसी तरह और कुछ बच्चे हैं जिन्हें बिना परीक्षा में बैठे ही अंक दे दिए गए हैं। इसपर अभी तक बिहार बोर्ड की तरफ से कोई बयान नहीं आया है।
"keep refrigerated." is printed on her insulin boxes. When I take Kylie to her docter, to the park or anywhere I don't know what to do with her insulin.

Water vapor, oxygen, nitrogen and other gases combine to create a mixture that makes life possible. These gases reside in five layers stacked vertically above the planet. Even though you don't feel the weight of the layers pressing upon you, molecules and atoms in those layers exert a force that scientists call pressure. Air pressure in the lowest layer, or troposphere, is much greater than the air pressure in the thermosphere, which sits on the edge of space. Air Pressure Fundamentals As the National Weather Service reports, air pressure is considerable if you sum the forces that molecules in all the atmospheric layers exert. In addition to dropping with altitude, air pressure can vary when a container heats up. Heat Increases molecular energy, which in turn causes molecules to exert more force on the container's boundary. Adding more molecules to a container also increases air pressure since there will be more molecules colliding with each other. Molecules in a layer can exert pressure in any direction. Important Atmospheric Layers You're probably most familiar with the troposphere because it's the one you live in. This layer, composed mostly of oxygen and nitrogen molecules, extends to an altitude of 8 to 15 kilometers (4.8 to 9.3 miles) depending on your latitude. All the planet's weather occurs within the troposphere. The stratosphere and mesosphere rise above the troposphere, with the mesophere's upper edge reaching 80 kilometers (49.7 miles). The thermosphere sits above the mesosphere, where the air is much thinner. Temperatures in the thermosphere can climb to 2,000 degrees Celsius (3,632 degrees Fahrenheit). Pressure Vs. Altitude Pressure in the troposphere varies depending on several factors. For instance, if you live at a higher altitude, the pressure will be less than when you travel to lower altitudes. Pressure also changes as weather patterns move through areas. The standard air pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch, or about 100 kilopascals. Air pressure is so minimal at the top of the thermosphere that an air molecule can travel large distances before hitting another air molecule. Air Pressure and You Air pressure drops about 3.5 millibars per 30 meters (100 feet) as altitude increases. This drop is more pronounced if the air is cold because cold air is denser than warm air. A millibar is a unit of measure that's equivalent to about 0.0145 pounds per square inch. Air pressure is important because you cannot survive if pressure falls too low. At 16,764 meters (55,000 feet), your body's water vapor appears to boil. Above 19,812 meters (65,000 feet), you'll need protective equipment to stay alive. About the Author After majoring in physics, Kevin Lee began writing professionally in 1989 when, as a software developer, he also created technical articles for the Johnson Space Center. Today this urban Texas cowboy continues to crank out high-quality software as well as non-technical articles covering a multitude of diverse topics ranging from gaming to current affairs.
Last weekend, I traveled to Florida to take the NRA Instructor Basics of Personal Protection Outside The Home Course (PPOTH). I was asked by several people why I would want this particular “Basic” Certification in light of my background and training experience. It’s simple, I like training new shooters. My colleague Grant Cunningham made a pertinent blog post about this shortly after I took the PPOTH Student Basic and Advanced Student Course. Experienced instructors often shy away from training the newest students. There has been a massive increase in people licensed to carry firearms over the past few years. In addition, several States have adopted Constitutional or Permitless Carry. That market base probably needs experienced trainers and coaches. And I don’t feel the need to reinvent the wheel. It’s unfortunate that the NRA Training Department’s best marketing statement for its Personal Protection training is contained in the PPOTH Instructor manual. “The NRA Basic Personal Protection Series is based on the building-block approach, moving from the simple to the complex.” The most effective training courses I have taken over the past two decades have used a step by step approach to skill building. The Training Department sees the progression of the courses for new gun owners interested in learning how to defend themselves and their loved ones as follows. - NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting Course, the first course, develops the basic skills of handling, shooting, and cleaning the firearm, as well as a thorough grounding in firearm safety. - NRA Basics of Personal Protection In The Home Course, the second course, teaches: - the defensive or flash sight picture, - firing single shots and/or aimed pairs from various shooting positions - shooting using a center-of-mass hold, - effectively using cover and concealment, - employing point-shooting and multiple target engagement techniques. - techniques for improving awareness and promoting mental preparation, - methods of enhancing home safety without a firearm, and - legal aspects of the use of deadly force in self-defense. - NRA Basics of Personal Protection Outside The Home, the third course in the series, covers: - Introduction to Concealed Carry Safety and The Defensive Mindset, - Introduction to Self Defense and Concealed Carry, - Legal Aspects of Concealed Cary and Self-Defense, - Carry Modes and Handgun Concealment, - Presenting the Handgun from Concealment, and - Presentation, Position and Movement. - Another offering in the series is the NRA Defensive Pistol Course. This is a shorter course than PPOTH. It teaches: - How to apply the NRA Rules for Safe Gun Handling when carrying a concealed firearm, - basic principles of concealment, - drawing from a hip holster - levels of mental awareness, - developing the proper mindset when using a pistol for personal protection, - flash sight picture - clearing common stoppages, - shooting a qualification course, - use of pocket pistols, In addition to the Courses themselves, the Training Department provides additional Skill Development Exercises for NRA Instructors to use with students after PPITH and PPOTH. And the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program has even more exercises that interested shooters can use to increase their skills and earn awards from the NRA. Looking at all the topics covered, that’s a really comprehensive training program. Those who are interested in a defensive firearm as more than a talisman to ward off evil can really get a lot out of such a “Basic” program. There are a number of aspects of the NRA’s series that I really like. First of all, the classes are between 4 to 9 hours long. Because they’re constructed in modules, even the 9 hour classes don’t have to be conducted in a single day. Most people’s lives are quite busy and asking new shooters to take an entire weekend or even week of training is both difficult and sometimes counter-productive. The NRA’s program is really the only one in the industry that is built around the student’s capabilities and time constraints rather than a trainer’s weekend convenience. Mea culpa; I’ve done both the traveling trainer and hosting trainer routines, so I’m as guilty of it as any of my colleagues. It’s something I want to try a different approach to. There’s a place for both newer trainers and experienced trainers in the NRA’s Personal Protection Series. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how I can implement that.
Matri-Linear B is an audiovisual art research project about the forms of expression and functions of the earth’s surface, shown as a video installation within the context of the larger research project Contemporary Prehistories – Dissident Goddesses. Linear B was one of the earliest scripts, first used to record inventories of goods. The combined words of the title, Matri-Linear B, imply a potential for deviating from an economic register that defines economic growth. Prehistory, archaeology and social technologies in matri-linear societies are contrasted with subject-object relations in imaging technologies that capture the surface of the earth/landscapes, and what lies beneath. Matri-linear B calls for matrixial registers through cultures of the relationship with the environment (earth). Dynamic scaling systems evolve within a 4-channel video and 16-channel audio-installation. Matri-Linear B works with cine(so)matic stories that tell of the knowledge embedded in the earth, in the landscape, on the earth’s surface. Around 7 sections map out time-based, multi-part depictions of landscape. Tracing remarkable impressions of the earth, the narrative conveys a feeling of revelation. The landscape becomes a container of knowledge, navigating from visual space into an archaeological and sociological, sequential narrative. Various folds, representing logics between detail and panorama, explain political systems that exert forces between endogamy and exogamy from prehistory through to the present day. The project is based on the archaeological discoveries of the Venus sculptures at the beginning of the 20th century, in particular the Venus of Willendorf in Lower Austria. Meticulous research by archaeologists from Lower Austria has deconstructed restrictive 19th- and 20th-century perspectives on the role of women, taking as a guide these prehistoric, female sculptures in one of the oldest prehistoric societies in Europe. Rejecting the interpretation of assigned gender roles, this most recent scientific debate qualifies archaeology as a pivotal practice that enables us to take a more distanced view of the turmoil of a contemporary debate on modernity. The second section explores the function of painting and art for Indigenous Australians. A third section examines the half-nomadic cultures of the Zomia highlands in contrast to the arable rice systems, as described by James C. Schott in his book “The Art of not Being Governed”. By moving into isolation in the highlands, a number of tribes managed to defy economic and state development strategies. There, we still find genuinely matri-linear economies that are still in operation, for example, the Mro people… In contrast to these landscapes, we find ruptures. Used to scan the surface of the earth, today’s high-tech imaging technologies represent a significant point of disturbance. These technologies are key for archaeology, but also for today’s mining industry, which is becoming the core of an unsocial, destructive political system. The violent technical and scientific interpretation of the earth using satellite data makes a contested area doomed to failure, to be exploited by a modernist, capitalist, patriarchal understanding of the economy, based on unequal valuations and the notion of the victim. In Matri-Linear B, the earth’s surface is seen as a living expression in itself; a thin layer between the inner earth and the outer cosmos on human activity is depicted as a circular movement from the biosphere to the earth’s surface, its humus, its geology and agricultural practices (archaeology layers of time tools culture nutrition climate climate change transformation mobility capture connectivity trade routes gender relations). The movement proposed is a fictional thesis that critically questions historical narratives of modernity, which require physical alienation for the constitution of a theology separating human from humus. In fact, the body is an effective tool for the production of knowledge between earth and human. By contrast, this somatic knowledge has been disempowered by perception technologies that use framing, scaling, and a geometric, fixed interpretation. Scientific methods have pushed out the old, unifying methods in visual art – but also in agricultural practices, and in the cultural understanding of multiperspectivism. These war frameworks represent the decontextualization of a moral interpretation of modern belief systems, the analysis of the “war frameworks” of the hypercapitalist extraction of the earth and the common. About my work My narrative methods involve a subterranean collective memory of imperial violence and fascism. This shared history represents a commonality that is constantly threatened by the segmentation of memory. My audio-visual cartographies embed the “secret coding of communication of minority cultures” as well as concepts such as “machinic animism”, through which this coding, like the musical refrains of memory, can emerge into focus. Like my previous research projects, Assemblages (2010), The Life of Particles (2012), The Refrain (2015), Crossings (2017) and Passing Drama (1999) – (see PDFs under www.mydrive.ch, user: documentation@melitopoulos, password: documentation), Matri-Linear B is a multi-screen work, a complex cinematographic cartography that assumes the form of a video installation. This research project acts as a holistic creation operating within a social area. I do not want to follow a subject – object-oriented analysis or a fact-related empirical logic, but rather the operative integration of social technologies and their ecological becoming. This project is based on an ethical concern that questions whether the production of capitalist subjectivity about the landscape can be seen as benevolent authority. The project uses an extreme polarization between responsibility for the planet earth, which is expressed in the remaining social technologies of matri-linear cultures, and the cooperative patriarchal spirit, which is located in high-tech extraction cultures. In doing so, it portrays a front line in current political environmental struggles It is at the core of a broader ethical and political debate that encompasses gender politics, media politics and more progressive environmental politics that do not devalue social technologies. A fundamental problem for the research proposed is that prehistory has no empirical quality. The story of the discovery of the Venus of Willendorf is instead a deconstruction of a historical erasure in itself. Interdisciplinary crossings, however, extend into a projected history and self-reflection on the activity of the research itself. The raising of awareness begins by casting doubt on a historical narrative that naturalizes violent patriarchalism as being necessary for survival. The re-evaluation of knowledge will merge conversations about life between species, plant subjectivities and feminist fictions.
Access rights in the IGEL UMS include: - General rights which can be granted to an administrator or denied either directly via the account or indirectly on the basis of the group membership - Access rights to objects in the structure tree - Access rights to the nodes within the UMS Administration area of the UMS Console The indirect rights given to an administrator on the basis of their group membership can be changed further for each administrator in the group. - Permissions that were granted directly have precedence over those granted indirectly. - Nevertheless, the withdrawal of permissions ALWAYS overrides the granting of permissions. The precedence of the Deny permission over the Allow permission means: - If an administrator is a member of several groups with permissions contradicting each other, the Deny permission will overrule the Allow permissions from other groups. Also, if the permission is granted to an administrator directly, it will be nevertheless denied via a group. - If a prohibition is issued for an object in the structure tree or a node in the UMS Administration area, it will apply for all subobjects/subnodes and cannot be withdrawn directly for these subobjects/subnodes. Generally speaking, the same permission settings are used for groups and administrators. The following description of individual configuration options therefore applies equally to administrators and groups.
Ocean waves keep Earth humming Feb 14, 2007 A geophysicist in the US has new evidence that the oceans are responsible for the Earth's strange low-frequency hum. Spahr Webb of Columbia University says that low frequency "infragravity" ocean waves interact with one another to make the ocean floor vibrate at a specific set of frequencies between 1-10 mHz. Webb says that his theory is supported by seismic and ocean data, which show correlations between hum and wave activity (Nature 445 754). Over the past decade geophysicists have become increasingly aware that the Earth is vibrating at a series of well-defined “infrasonic” frequencies between about 1-10 mHz. The origins of this hum have been the subject of heated debate. Earthquakes were an obvious candidate, but they were ruled out along with interactions between turbulence in the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. Then in 2004, researchers found that the strongest hums appeared to be coming from the oceans. Now, Webb has shown that two or more infragravity waves interact to create pressure waves that set the Earth humming at its natural mHz vibrational modes. Webb believes that these interactions occur over the continental shelves – the shallow water surrounding land masses where infragravity waves are most common. Infragravity waves are not the familiar wind-driven waves that form on the surface of the ocean. Rather, they are produced when higher frequency wind-driven waves (above 40 Hz) interact with the shore. These infragravity waves have frequencies in the 1-40 mHz range and much smaller amplitudes than typical ocean waves. About the author Hamish Johnston is editor of Physics Web

A previously healthy man presented with inferior myocardial infarction and recent upper respiratory tract infection. Bacteremia was detected and treated; however, the patient developed refractory polymorphic ventricular tachycardia storm and shock. Clinical autopsy revealed the diagnosis of isolated bacterial myocarditis. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.) (J Am Coll Cardiol Case Rep 2020;2:830–1) © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier on behalf of the American College of Cardiology Foundation. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/). A 61-year-old previously healthy man presented to a community hospital with transient loss of consciousness and acute chest discomfort. He had upper respiratory tract infection for 2 weeks with subjective fever and rigors for 1 day. The patient was apyrexic and initial physical examination was normal. Serum leukocyte count and chest radiograph were normal, and 12-lead electrocardiogram demonstrated inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. There were no stigmata of endocarditis or signs of aortic dissection. Intravenous thrombolysis was administered, and he was transferred to a tertiary care hospital. Coronary angiography demonstrated occlusion of the distal left-dominant posterior descending artery, without other significant lesions, and angioplasty was not possible because of small vessel size. Transthoracic echocardiography showed left ventricular apical-inferior hypokinesis and no valve lesions. Cranial computed tomography identified a small cerebellar hemorrhage. The patient was clinically stable and transferred to cardiac intensive care unit for medical management. Approximately 24 h later there was onset of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia storm and profound shock. Admission blood cultures grew methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and intravenous antibiotics were administered. Despite maximum supportive therapy the patient died 48 h following admission. Autopsy revealed acute bacterial myocarditis (BM) with multifocal suppuration of the lower interventricular septum and inferior ventricles. The cardiac valves were unremarkable. Intramyocardial abscesses contained gram-positive cocci (methicillin-sensitive S. aureus) (Figure 1A). The posterior descending artery exhibited acute bacterial vasculitis and adjacent abscess (Figure 1B). Additional findings included microabscesses in the brain and spinal cord. Endocarditis is the most common cardiac manifestation of bacterial infection in developed countries. Perivalvular extension with abscess formation is a recognized complication, but isolated BM is exceptionally rare (1). BM presenting with myocardial infarction has been reported; however, this case is notable because of the absence of immunocompromise. The incidence of isolated BM in modern practice is unknown and most reports come from old autopsy series (1). Complications of BM include myocardial rupture, arrhythmia, sepsis, and shock (1). Treatment consists of supportive care, antimicrobial therapy, and source control. Surgical intervention is not well described and may be ineffective with multifocal involvement. Use of venoarterial extracorporal membrane oxygenation in BM has not been reported. Often, as in this case, definitive diagnosis relies on autopsy findings. Despite modern clinical tools autopsy reveals new diagnoses or diagnostic errors in approximately 30% of cases (2). Autopsy remains an invaluable tool for quality control, education, and advancement of medical science. Unfortunately, use of autopsy has declined significantly. We highlight the ongoing utility of autopsy to establish diagnosis and provide closure to patients’ family members and clinical teams
There is much debate over the question, "Are yoga poses based on Hindu gods?" The short answer is not exactly. However, the more advanced the practice, the greater the variety of asanas, and a few postures do reference some deities and sages. Here is a brief overview of this complex topic. Understanding Yoga Names and Poses Since the majority of yoga asanas have Indian Sanskrit names, it's easy for someone to be intimidated by the language barrier and question the meaning of the postures. But in reality, ancient yogis drew inspiration from the world around them. Therefore, most yoga poses were named by referencing animals or things in nature. About the Conflict Some believe that several thousand years ago, yoga was a practice of postures dedicated to Hindu gods. And within this practice, there's the opportunity to achieve a higher state of consciousness and thus, a spiritual connection to those gods. There are some styles of yoga that have a stronger spiritual purpose than others. Just as there are numerous interpretations of the Bible, the Koran, the Torah and so on, there are multiple theories regarding the purpose of yoga. For those who believe that yoga is a form of worship to gods not held in their faith, they think yoga is a method of homage to false idols. Some also consider yoga to be an extension of the New Age movement, and thus in direct defiance of traditional faith. Yet, similarities exist. For example, some people have compared meditation with yoga mala beads to reciting prayers with a Catholic rosary. Yoga teachers of the 20th century have stressed that the point of the basic yogic principles is to enrich an individual's life and spirituality, regardless of what the person's faith might be. Each of us is on a unique journey. While yoga may help some people achieve greater awareness and connection, others may simply be stretching. Are Yoga Poses Based on Hindu Gods? Richard Rosen is the director of the Piedmont Yoga Studio in Oakland, California, and a frequent contributor to Yoga Journal. He wrote a paper about the origin of yoga poses based on his years of studying and researching traditional yoga texts. Interestingly, he developed a percentage system to analyze postures and their namesakes. In Rosen's summary, there are approximately 169 yoga poses. Of these: - 37 percent are named after animals or birds - 18 percent are named after objects - 18 percent are named after qualities - 13 percent are named after the human body and nature - 7 percent are descriptive names The remaining postures are primarily named after yoga teachers, and one deity, Bhairava, also known as Shiva, and his son, Virabhadra. Rosen points out that many of these names did not appear in the ancient texts, but in 20th century yoga books. As stated, the topic of yoga poses and Hindu gods is an extremely complex topic. If you seek a truly comprehensive understanding of yoga, try the following books:

The vibrant and sprawling state of Punjab is celebrated for its cuisine, culture and history. Its primary cities are Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana and Patiala. Persian for ‘Five Waters’, Punjab is named after the five great rivers of the area: the Jhelum, the Ravi, the Chenab, the Sutlej, and the Beas. The availability of water sustains a strong agricultural industry. The region has a rich religious make-up incorporating Sikhism, Islam and Hinduism. The resulting examples of royal shrines and temples, and the magnificent paradigms of Sikh architecture are notable attractions, as are the various rituals and practices that surround them. Punjab’s long and chequered history spans many civilisations, including the Greeks, Persians, Arabs, Turks, Mughals, Balochis, and British – each of which has left its mark. The tangible texture and layering of many peoples, beliefs and styles of building that combine in this incredibly interesting destination. With its ancient forts, regal palaces, grand monuments and momentous battle sites, it offers a plethora of interesting historical sites. Punjabi cuisine is unique and mouth-watering with a wide range of dishes that can be enjoyed vegetarian or non-vegetarian The local Punjabis are heart-warmingly welcoming and happy to share their culture, as they have done for centuries.

Laying Their Heads Where No Humans Tread Wolves can withstand brutally cold temperatures and go weeks without food, making them a dab hand (or paw) at surviving in extreme conditions. But one pack near the Israel-Syria border makes its home in a different hostile environment. One where it’s humans, not wolves, who must tread carefully. Amongst the Golan Heights’ 1,000 square kilometres of grassland, open woodland and extinct volcanoes, flash the occasional yellow warning signs of a minefield. Venturing beyond the barbed wire can be fatal for anything heavier than 60kg, as both people and livestock have discovered. But for a wolf pack the reverse is often true. Most of the Golan is used for grazing, and there is a longstanding tension between the wolves and local ranchers. After a mass poisoning campaign in the 1960s, canines almost entirely vanished from the Golan grasses. Following a boom and cull of the jackal population in the early 1990s, wolves finally began to return, possibly due to less competition and more cattle and carcasses from human waste dumps. But not everyone welcomed them back, and in 1998 there was another mass poisoning, this time killing scores of rare griffon vultures and prompting the Israel Nature and Parks Authority to step in. Wolves have extensive legal protection in the Golan, which has helped their numbers recover from 8-10 in 1979 to 80-100 in 2005 and beyond, but, controversially, they may be shot or trapped in designated areas to limit their population and protect livestock. Illegal poaching and poisoning still occur from time to time, as this particular pack discovered when they had a litter outside the fence. Poisoned bait was found in their empty den, and when the family finally returned they had lost their young pups and an adult male. Fortunately this was not the alpha, but the pack’s makeup is yet another curiosity. According to wildlife photographer Itamar Yairi, who has closely followed the group, it is the larger, more aggressive alpha female who may be the leader. This is by no means unheard of. Doug Smith, an expert on the Yellowstone wolves, described she-wolves 40 and 7 of the Druid and Leopold packs as head of the family. Incidentally, Golan wolves are closer in size and colour to their North American relatives, and this seems to be a recent phenomenon. Until the 1960s, most wolves sighted in Israel and Syria were of the smaller desert subspecies canis lupus pallipes. After the mass poisoning, the wolves that returned were larger with only minor throwbacks to their desert forebears, such as the occasional fused toes. Although the minefield is a sanctuary for these wolves, human deaths and injuries are all too recent memories in the Golan, and there have been global calls to clear the mines. So far this hasn’t happened, leaving us with the juxtaposition of, in the words of predator researcher Dr. Arian Wallach, “[something that] epitomises everything wrong with the world… [with]…some wild beauty running through it.”

In addition to gold and silver, platinum metals such as mercury and rhenium are also counted among the classical precious metals. At room temperature in air, these elements either do not corrode at all or do so extremely slowly and to a very slight degree. Although the quantities of gold and silver in the Earth's crust are small, their existence has been known since ancient times. This is due to their precious character, their purity and the fact that they can be extracted from ore at a relatively low temperature. Since antiquity these metals have been used to produce jewelry and coins. Contrary to the name rare earths, elements of this group are found in the Earth's crust even more frequently than some of some precious metals. These elements are termed "rare earths" because they were first discovered in rare minerals and were isolated from them in the form of oxides. The term "earth" is an old chemical term for oxides, i.e. compounds containing oxygen. The chemically-similar elements of the third group of the periodic system (with the exception of actinium) and lanthanides are considered rare earths.
Protecting and Connecting Headwater Havens WCS Canada Report Calls for More Protection for Vulnerable Wildlife in Southern Canadian Rockies of Alberta Grizzly bear, wolverine, and bull trout among species ranked as “highly” vulnerable to fractured landscapes and climate change Download report at www.wcscanada.org. TORONTO (July 17, 2013) A new report from the Wildlife Conservation Society Canada (WCS Canada) calls for the designation of new Wildland Provincial Parks in the Southern Canadian Rockies of Alberta to protect vulnerable wildlife and provide for their safe passage in an increasingly fragmented landscape. The report focused on determining important, secure habitats (“safe havens”) and landscape connections (“safe passages”) for six species—bull trout, westslope cutthroat trout, grizzly bears, wolverines, mountain goats and bighorn sheep. These species are vulnerable to loss of secure habitat from industrial land uses and/or climate change. Nestled between Banff and Waterton parks, the Southern Canadian Rockies in Alberta has been overshadowed by these two iconic national parks. Yet this area contains spectacular landscapes, supports one of the most diverse communities of big animals in North America, and is a stronghold for the six vulnerable species that have been vanquished in much of their range further south. In the report entitled Protecting and Connecting Headwater Havens, WCS Canada’s award-winning Conservation Scientist, Dr. John Weaver concluded that “Once abundant populations have disappeared from some regions, but remnant ones persist in remaining strongholds. These represent hope and opportunity to protect and recover the wildlife heritage of Alberta. Designation of new Wildland Provincial Parks would demonstrate stronger commitment to safeguard these headwater havens of wildlife and water treasures in the Southern Canadian Rockies of Alberta.” Weaver assessed 6,452 square kilometres of land to determine its conservation value for the vulnerable species and the cumulative challenges of expanding industrial resource extraction and mechanized recreation facing each of them. For example, about 20 percent of the land is prime habitat for the threatened grizzly bear but may serve as ‘attractive traps’ due to the high density of roads. As climate changes, warmer winters will reduce mountain snow cover and suitable habitat for the rare wolverine, a species highly adapted to persistent snow pack. Reduced stream flow and warmer stream temperatures will diminish habitat for westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout, native fish adapted well to cold waters - while favouring introduced rainbow trout and brook trout. Weaver recommends designating 257,065 ha of Crown land as Wildland Provincial Parks because it would be a smart investment that would conserve 66 percent of important habitats on 40 percent of the land. Vital places with particular concentration of present and future habitat include Castle Special Place, lands on the north and south of the Crowsnest Pass, the headwaters of the Oldman River, and the headwater basins of the Highwood River. The new direction would recognize the value of wildlife diversity and headwater sources of clean water but require improved management of other land uses. “This report will help inform discussions and decisions about land management in the Southern Canadian Rockies of Alberta,” said Weaver. “These spectacular landscapes provide some of the best remaining strongholds for vulnerable fish and wildlife. Protecting lands for conservation will help ensure that this rich diversity of fish and wildlife will be enjoyed by people today and generations yet to come.” This important conservation assessment was generously supported by the LaSalle Adams Fund, The Schad Foundation, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, and the Wilburforce Foundation.

उत्तर प्रदेश के सरकारी प्राइमरी स्कूलों में बीते १० वर्षों में लगभग डेढ़ लाख शिक्षक भर्तियां हुईं लेकिन अभी तक खुद विभाग को ही नहीं पता कि इनमें से कितने पद भरे और कितने अब तक रिक्त हैं। अब बेसिक शिक्षा परिषद इन सारी भर्तियों का ब्यौरा जुटा रहा है। परिषद की सचिव रूबी सिंह १५ नवम्बर से मंडलवार बैठक कर इन आंकड़ों की समीक्षा करेंगी। हिंदुस्तान की खबर के मुताबिक बेसिक शिक्षा परिषद में नियुक्तियों का सिलसिला २०११ से ७२,८२५ प्रशिक्षु शिक्षक भर्ती से शुरू हुआ था। ये भर्ती सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेशों के अधीन हुई थी और इसमें ६६ हजार पद भरे गये थे। इनमें ७ हजार पद अब भी रिक्त हैं। लेकिन इसके बाद हुई भर्तियों का पूरा ब्यौरा परिषद के पास नहीं है। इनमें से एक भर्ती का मामला सुप्रीम कोर्ट में चल रहा है वहीं २-३ भर्तियों का मामला हाईकोर्ट में है। लिहाजा परिषद चाह रहा है कि सभी आंकड़े एक जगह हों ताकि न्यायालय में मागे जाने पर तुरंत दिये जा सके। आंकड़े एक जगह होने से न सिर्फ न्यायालय में सरकार के पक्ष को रखना आसान होगा बल्कि ये भी पता रहेगा कि शिक्षकों के कितने पद रिक्त हैं और कितने शिक्षक कार्यरत हैं। इसके लिए परिषद मंडलवार बैठक की शुरुआत १५ नवम्बर से करने जा रहा है। परिषद ने सभी जिलों को पत्र भेज कर एक निश्चित प्रारूप पर सूचना मांगी हैं। इसमें कार्यरत शिक्षकों की श्रेणीवार संख्या मांगी गई है। वहीं रिक्त पदों की संख्या भी श्रेणीवार देनी है। इनमें १००००, १५०००, १६४४८, १२४६० सहायक अध्यापक भर्ती और ६८,५०० सहायक शिक्षक भर्ती शामिल हैं। वहीं २९३३४ जूनियर शिक्षक भर्ती विज्ञान व गणित वर्ग के आंकड़े अलग-अलग देने होंगे। बेसिक शिक्षा परिषद इन भर्तियों के आंकड़े एक जगह करने के लिए सॉफ्टवेयर बनाने पर विचार कर रहा है। दरअसल कोई भी भर्ती हो, लेकिन बेसिक शिक्षा अधिकारी आंकड़ों को बेसिक शिक्षा परिषद भेजने में लापरवाही बरतते हैं वहीं इन्हें छुपाया भी जाता है। परिषद अब इन आंकड़ों की ऑनलाइन फीडिंग करने पर विचार कर रहा है।
The VM-1000 construction contains a high horsepower motor, suspended in a custom designed cradle system. The motor provides the bucket with its required rotation in both axes. A Kevlar belt assembly transforms the vertical rotation of the base to the second opposite rotational axis. Prior to mixing, a counter weight system is dialed according to the amount of material poured in the pail. The VM-1000 can mix up to 1000g or 2.2lbs of material in one shot. The drive system of the VM-1000 consists of a single phase 208- 230 V motor with a variable frequency motor driver and a dynamic braking system. It also contains a timer that automatically activates the dynamic braking system to bring the machine to a halt very rapidly. to complete inventory display to our home page

Don't turn it straight to the left because you will do a flat spin. Don't think about your head position all that much. What is much more important is driving the board straight up the wake.

It’s estimated that 74 billion dollars a day are transmitted electronically around the world – and some of that’s probably yours. If this e-commerce is not absolutely secure, millions of people are risking billions of pounds. Why do you trust it? The history of encryption is filled with examples of people breaking codes that were previously thought to be absolutely secure. So what’s different about modern encryption? Modern mathematical thought and computing technology tell us that due to the properties of the current state of the art encryption algorithm, it would take millions of years to break it and that’s good enough for the world banking system. Online retailers and banks have particular requirements for their code technology. Everyone needs to be able to send them encrypted messages, but no one except the retailer should be able to decrypt what’s been sent. So, how do you do this? The retailer publicly reveals a unique way of locking up the message: a ‘padlock’ to which only they have the key. They distribute the padlocks everywhere, so that anyone who wants to send them their credit card information can just secure it with the padlock. When it gets to – eg Amazon.co.uk, it can use its key to unlock the padlock; but no one else can. That’s great for padlocks, but we’re sending information. These locks are securing strings of digits flying through the ether; and they need to be made using maths. So we ask ourselves, what does this algorithm need to do to be like the padlock? It needs to be in two parts (the lock and the key). The padlock should be easy to put on, but impossible to take off without the key. And the key needs to be unique. There should be no way of breaking down the padlock to make a replica key. Don’t open that trapdoor We now know a lot about the algorithm we’re looking for. It should take as parameters two pieces, or sets, of information: one public and one private. It needs to use a mathematical function that, in the language of cryptographers, is a trapdoor – it’s easy to go through one way, but not the other. And there should be no way of getting from the public information to the private information. Secure transmission of data is a crucial problem for governments as well as financiers, and is a juicy problem for mathematicians to chow down on. Because of this several groups of people have worked on this problem, some of whom were forbidden from talking about it for years, making it difficult to pinpoint the inventor of the system. The first person to solve this problem was Clifford Cocks, a mathematician working at the UK’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in 1973. However, his bosses did not want to publish the decision at that time (he doesn’t seem too bitter about this, and he’s now Chief Mathematician at GCHQ, so he’s doing OK). It was left to Rivest, Shamir and Adleman, a team of academics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to reveal the method now known as RSA encryption. Amazingly, they had both developed the same technique independently, and it is now the standard communication protocol worldwide. How to encrypt with RSA The method relies on the difficulty of finding prime factors of very large numbers – between 1024 and 2048 bits long. Each recipient chooses two very large prime numbers, p and q, and multiplies them together to get a third number, which we can call N. They also have to choose another number which is co-prime with N, called e. N and e are then made widely available as the public key for this person – let’s call her Alice, for tradition’s sake. To encrypt a message, the sender – say, Robert – converts his message into a number, M. This could, for example, be done using ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), a protocol where each symbol is represented by 7 bits. Secure communication works as follows: 1. Bob transforms his message into a code text, C. C = Me mod N 2. Bob sends C to Alice. 3. Alice, who remember chose the values of p and q in the first place, now crunches a few numbers. She calculates a new number, d, so: e · d = 1 mod ((p-1) · (q-1)) This is a bit of a tricky equation, but an ancient algorithm (the Chinese Remainder Theorem) can solve it. 4. Now in possession of d, Alice can find the message by performing The only way someone who is not Alice can read Bob’s message is by finding p and q, assuming Bob has her correct public key. However, as described earlier, multiplying primes is a one-way function: it might take perhaps 10 seconds to multiply two large primes (large here means that N ends up with about 300 digits). To factor it, you’re looking at a thousand years, even if a hundred million personal computers were networked together for the task. That’s pretty secure. With sufficiently large primes, RSA is considered strong enough for the most important financial transactions. The US government is so concerned about terrorist groups using it to hide their communications that they have prosecuted people who export RSA encryption software under the same legislation as that for arms dealers. It’s possible that in the future, a new way of factoring primes might be discovered – perhaps it already has been, in some secret government agency. Whether RSA is the final word on security or not, cryptography remains one of the few areas where pure maths translates directly into essential technology, and a big employer for mathematicians

College of Arts and Letters2018-2019 Department of Global Languages and Cultures What Can I Do with a Minor in Japanese? You may use the same course or courses to satisfy requirements in both a major and a minor as long as at least fifty percent of the units in the minor have a different prefix than the major. You may also use the same course or courses to meet both liberal studies and minor requirements as long as you meet all requirements for the minor. A minor is earned in conjunction with a bachelor's degree. To receive a minor (18 to 24 units) at Northern Arizona University, you must complete a planned group of courses from one or more subject matter areas with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0. At least 12 units of the minor must be unique to that minor and not applied to any other minor. In addition to University Requirements: - Complete individual plan requirements. Please note that you may be able to use some courses to meet more than one requirement. Contact your advisor for details. No more than 50% of the units used to satisfy minor requirements may be used to satisfy major requirements. \|Minimum Units for Completion\|\|19\| Students who satisfy the requirements of the minor in Japanese are expected to have the ability to read and write Japanese texts at the intermediate level and interact effectively in the spoken language. In addition to language, students are also expected to be familiar with various aspects of Japanese culture, such as education system, etiquette, food, greetings, and housing. Students who complete the minor are able to write short papers in Japanese, communicate at a level that would be understood by native and non-native speakers of Japanese, and are aware of different speech styles used in formal/informal situations, and perform daily tasks that allow them to function effectively and efficiently in daily life when they communicate with native speakers and/or when they are abroad. Students who complete the Japanese minor have the necessary foundational base to advance their proficiency in the Japanese language, the opportunity to gain intercultural understanding and the ability to better compete in the international market. Student Learning Outcomes Student Learning Outcomes are Aligned with Standards for Language Learning created by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. Upon completing this minor, students will be able to: - Orally express ideas in Japanese through meaningful discussion of concrete topics relating to work, school, home, and leisure activities using all major time frames (present, past, and future). Students can interact with native speakers unaccustomed to dealing with non- natives, and handle complicated or unexpected communicative tasks. (Speaking skills) - When listening to others, be able to identify and use main ideas and details from the conversation, including description and narration in different time frames or aspects, about a variety of topics beyond immediacy of the situation, to communicate meaningfully with others. (Listening skills) - Identify and use main ideas and details from authentic, connected, longer, written texts involving description and narration in different formats about a variety of topics for communicative purposes. (Reading skills) - Create with language to express meanings in written form about familiar topics using the major time frames with some control of aspect. (Writing skills) Take the following 19 units with a Grade of "C" or better in each course: You may only take lower-level JPN courses if you have not already taken advanced JPN coursework. For instance, after you have completed 200-level JPN courses, you cannot take JPN courses at the 100 level. Be aware that some courses may have prerequisites that you must also take.

Adres Diavanera Tovar Location: Cundinamarca, Colombia Research: Amphibian Community in the Chingaza Park, Preliminary Study of Conservation Status; Identification of Possible Threats; and Design of Management and Conservations Plans Species/Topic: Amphibian Community \|Herpetological searches from 2003 to 2005 in Chingaza National Park, revealed a strong change in species composition. Some species previously recorded were absent, suggesting a possible amphibian decline. The methodology designed here is used first to continue searching for remnant populations of the Atelopus species and second for the inventory and structure of the amphibian community taking into account natural history observations. Obtaining presence/absence data for endangered species will be very useful in determining the real conservation status of Atelopus species. The presence of trout and climatic changes are both possible threats to amphibian populations; this data will allow analysis of the relationship between these threats. This project will help design a management plan for threats and conservation of endangered species. The presence of amphibian diseases will also be assessed. Project Update: March 2006 The project objective is to complete an amphibian inventory of Chingaza Park and create reports on three amphibian species in danger of extinction: Atelopus muisca, A. lozanoi and A. mandingues. Trips to various locations of the park have been made. With the localized ecosystem structure, some locations had very low or no population or individual Atelopus found. An exciting discovery of a new species of the genus Eleutherodactylus was found. The team was unable to locate enough specimens to complete a description, but will make further attempts in the field. Chromatic patterns were recorded for all species; certain species had 15 different coloration patterns noted. Amphibian calls were also recorded as the morphometric and natural history data. Park climatic data was collected in hopes there is a link with the amphibian declination pattern. A trout presence database was created. In preliminary data, it was found that in streams with high trout populations, no tadpoles were found. In the few streams where trout was absent, Hyla bogotensis tadpoles were found. Workshops were conducted for park workers and government employees focused on amphibian conservation. Those who attended were taught how to identify and collect frogs and a trout population control plan was discussed with park officials. Local fishermen were interviewed about the Atelopus species. Questions asked consisted of date and time of last sighting, habitat and weather conditions. No sightings have been reported.

Whatever information you are seeking regarding ceramic PCB and aluminum nitride PCB (Aln PCB) this article discusses everything. Whether you wish to learn and understand the uses, features, or properties, the article and guide contains all the necessary information you seek. First, we will consider everything concerning ceramic PCBs and its substrates, and then we will focus on the Aluminum nitride. Please continue reading as we explain this topic. What is a AlN PCB? A AlN PCB is made up of traditional printed circuit boards featuring ceramic material options. It is possible to transform other ceramic material options into different shapes in order to meet your needs. In addition, the ceramic PCBs feature some great characteristics. They have the ability to resist very high temperatures. Also, they feature high insulation performance, coupled with other benefits. Reasons why you should work with AlN Aluminum Nitride PCB There are so many reasons which will allow you to choose ceramic PCBs rather than other options. There are usually preferred due to: High operating temperature The ceramic pcbs are useful for devices operating under extremely high temperatures. The quality ensures their uniqueness in contrast to other types of circuit boards which may easily fail whenever they are exposed to any high temperature. For temperatures as high as 350 degrees Celsius, be sure that your devices will function effectively and efficiently. Great thermal properties This is the ability of ceramic circuit boards to conduct heat. Furthermore, a ceramic PCB features high stability. What this means is that it offers great electrical properties for that ceramic circuit board. Low Expansion Coefficient The ceramic circuit board also makes sure of a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Due to this, they rarely face distortion as a result of temperature fluctuations. Most times, when making use of covalent materials which includes silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and diamond, this usually leads to the establishment of stronger bonds. Therefore, this ensures that you get low coefficients in this thermal expansion. Greater high-frequency performance The ceramic PCB delivers great high-frequency performance. Note that this is very important in determining the transmission path bandwidth and impedance. Also, the dielectric material which is present in the ceramic circuits helps in enhancing the frequency performance. This is because of its ability to limit impedance present on its signal path. Ceramic boards have a very effective PCB for devices working under the thermal conditions that are fluctuating. This is due to its high modulus. Lowers the Initial cost of Ceramic PCB Assembly Using ceramic circuits, you will be able to reduce the number of tests and insertions needed. This contrasts other type of circuit boards, as a result of the material type used. It also has a short assembly process in contrast to other circuits. This ensures less expensive ceramic printed circuit boards. What are the Applications of AlN PCB? The popularity of ceramic PCBs is well-known due to their strengths. The ceramic PCBs have a low dielectric constant, can fight chemical erosion, have low CTE, and their thermal conductivity capabilities are high. As a result of this strength, the ceramic PCB features many applications. These include: A ceramic PCB can offer high-density assembly. For this reason ceramic pcbs can have about 4 integrated circuit chips. With this, it becomes very reliable ceramic boards in the manufacturing of the memory module as well as ceramic pcb projects. Furthermore, the memory modules present in different telecommunication products could be useful in harsh and extreme environments. Also, they are very resistant to shock and vibrations Multi-layer Interconnect Board The ceramic PCB is useful in manufacturing multilayer interconnect board. Why is this so? The ceramic board or ceramic PCB has the ability to hold many components on the board area. What this guarantees is the production of devices that are more sophisticated in the smaller packages, in contrast to the FR4 boards. The transmission and receiving modules for the radars in our communication industry are manufactured from ceramic circuits. Why is this? This is because of the aluminum nitride that has low CTE and higher thermal conductivity. What are the Features of a Ceramic PCB? Below are the features of a ceramic PCB. Having a drill aspect ratio of 18:1, a ceramic PCB features a quick turn. With this, they have the leverage over other printed circuit boards classified under FR4. Also, a ceramic PCB offers virtually all the necessary demands your device will have regarding layers. With respect to the minimum, this PCB could have just one layer. According to your specification, it could have about 32 layers. Micro-vias and Blind Buried Vias A ceramic PCB has another feature – the blind buried vias. Also, the micro vias is buried and blind as well. This is what differentiates it from the FR4 PCBs that have their micro vias and vias exposed. Note that the maximum size of the panel measures 24 x 40. With this, users will be able to manufacture the ceramic PCB in large quantities. Also, this depends on the device. What are the Ceramic Substrates Types with Respect to Material? This ceramic substrate is the most frequently used material in the entire electronics industry due to their electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties in contrast to majority of oxide ceramics. Furthermore, it features high chemical stability and strength and is very rich in different raw materials. Alumina substrate is great for different shapes and technical manufacturing. This is another ceramic substrate of the ceramic pcbs. The thermal conductivity of BeO is higher in contrast to metal aluminum. Also, it is useful in applications that require high thermal conductivity. AlN is another ceramic substrate that has two important properties. First, is its high thermal conductivity. The second property is its expansion coefficient. There is a disadvantage here; once there is a very thin layer of oxide present on the surface, then its thermal conductivity will be affected immediately. You will only be able to manufacture the AlN substrate via good consistency With all the reasons above, alumina ceramics remain in a very dominant position for the power modules, hybrid microelectronics, power electronics, and microelectronics fields as a result of their greater comprehensive performance. Let’s shed more light on the aluminum nitride. What is Aln PCB (Aluminum Nitride PCB)? Aluminum Nitride PCB is a printed circuit board that contains a conductive material. This is a form of ceramic PCB having a high thermal conductivity of about 170w/Mk in combination with having a low expansion coefficient and a strong dielectric. These properties are what have made the aluminum nitride PCB a high performing circuits solutions delivered for high current and high temperatures coefficient. In addition, the aluminum nitride are available in different shapes/sizes, thickness, and colors, which is useful in different applications. These include radio frequency and automotive companies, LED converter and power companies and more. What Material Properties are Present in Aluminum Nitride? The aluminum nitride PCB features properties which makes it a great choice for different applications. We can categorize them as environmental, chemical, and physical properties. There are some factors to consider. These include dielectric constant, density, thermal expansion, melting point, comprehensive strength, bulk modulus, tensile strength, maximum and minimum service temperature, breakdown potential, etc. The thermal expansion of the Aln PCB has a minimum value of about 4.3 SI units. Furthermore, its maximum value is 5.61 SI units. This ceramic PCB is known to have a great thermal conductivity with a value of around 170w/Mk. This makes it a great choice for use in different applications. Boiling Point and Melting Point The Aluminum nitride PCB features a melting point of over 2000 degrees Celsius. The aluminum nitride PCB also provides a great electrical resistance. This is why it is a great electrical insulator. Aluminum nitride has an average density value of around 3.26 grams for each centimeter cube. Also, in the environmental properties, the focus should be on the response of the aluminum nitride to UV radiations, moisture, corrosion, temperature, and more. The Aluminum nitride PCB resists UV radiations as a result of the formation of its oxide layer. A protective coating and surface finishes that are applied on it, surrounds the Aluminum nitride PCB, and helps in protecting it from different corrosive effects that come from its surrounding. In addition to the above, aluminum nitride helps in offering resistance to very high temperatures that can reach about 1370 degrees Celsius. Any temperature higher than this could lead to the material experiencing bulk oxidation. Also aluminum nitride is known to be stable in hydrogen or carbon dioxide atmospheres. Reasons Why You Should Go For Aluminum Nitride PCBs Once the driver is thermal conductivity, then the most appropriate option is Aluminum. This features a thermal conductivity value of about 170w/Mk. This makes it great for very demanding systems. Also, it features properties like high operation temperatures, strong dielectric, small size of package as a result of integration, hermetic packages, low expansion coefficient, and more. With these properties, it permits the usefulness of aluminum nitride PCB in different applications and fields. These include lasers, high power LEDs, high-current switches, etc. However, the manufacturing of aluminum nitride PCB is done by the high grade aluminum materials that are resilient and tough. Thus ensures more durability of the product. This durability aspect assists you in saving the maintenance and repair costs. How to make an Aluminum Nitride PCB Remember that aluminum nitride is regarded as an inorganic or synthetic ceramic compound that is made of mainly nitrogen and aluminum steel. The aluminum nitride manufacturing process deals with two main processes. These include: - Direct nitridation - Carbothermal nitridation and reduction In the production of aluminum nitride PCB, the most commonly and preferred used method is referred to as direct nitridation. Carbothermal nitridation and reduction helps as an option for direct nitridation. However, for majority of cases, it is useful in producing alumina nitride. Furthermore, direct nitridation has to do with self-sustaining aluminum reaction with nitrogen where the ignition of aluminum powder in an atmosphere containing nitrogen takes place. The initial product goes through more processing via classification, crushing, or milling, in order to manufacture the end product which is aluminum nitride. This method comes with a benefit. It is very environmentally friendly. This means that it doesn’t produce green house gases or harmful byproducts. Also, it is very energy efficient. Moreover, the manufacturing process could come with some disadvantages. The milling process may introduce possible impurities. Also, breaking the formed aluminum nitride during the milling process could be difficult. This is why there may be a need for multiple steps for size reduction in order to reach the desired size of the particle. What is the Cost of Aluminum Nitride? Aluminum nitride board prices vary. This depends on some factors like surface finish, color, thickness, board layer, and size, etc. There are cases whereby the quantity might as well determine your ceramic PCB price. In these cases, the suppliers and manufacturers may permit discount to people buying in bulk all the way from China. What are the Applications of Aluminum Nitride PCB? The aluminum nitride PCBV is a good product that serves different applications. Now, the applications are due to the good properties and features present in the product. Aluminum nitride is useful in applications that require thermal conductivity and electrical insulation. These include semiconductor industries, cooling systems, transportation inverters, high brightness LEDs, telecommunications, and more. It is also useful in very abrasive environment as a result of its ability to stand against high temperature. It also keeps the device risk-free. What are the Disadvantages of Making use of Aluminum Nitride PCB (Aln PCB)? You can only find a few pitfalls of the aluminum oxide boards. In contrast to other PCBs, the aluminum nitride PCB is costly. However, when the drive is electrical insulation and thermal conductivity, aluminum nitride boards are the best. The second disadvantage is the exposure of the aluminum nitride printed circuit board via inhalation, injection, or mouth could lead to lung and bone toxicity. Despite these disadvantages, the aluminum nitride circuit board has always been the most appropriate solution for different applications as a result of the great properties it possesses. We hope you have a full understanding of Aln PCB. If you seek help in any area regarding how aluminum or ceramic boards work, please inform us.

Testing, Testing: The 123’s of Testing As usual Ludger Woessmann and Eric Hanushek (this time with Annika Bergbauer) have written an interesting, provocative, and relevant paper—this time on testing. If you haven’t read Eric on teachers and his classic JEL review paper; Ludger on declining productivity in the OECD or on class size (an appreciation of this paper would have saved a decade of debate on external validity); or their joint work (with others) on autonomy, education systems, and learning outcomes; or on economic growth and learning (here and here), well, you should (have already). Their new paper “Testing” uses PISA data over time to investigate what types of assessment systems affect learning. That is, they don’t ask, “Does assessment improve performance?”, which is too broad a question to be amenable to a sensible answer, but are able to compare external versus internal assessments and ones that make school comparisons and ones that do not. Since this blog post is really just a loss-leader to get you to read the paper, I just want to make two points. 1. Assessments and accountability in different contexts matter First, the question of “testing” in education often begins with a heated debate (or lack thereof, just strong positions) about the experience with the American approach to assessment and accountability under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. While that debate is fascinating and informative, it is not at all obvious that it is relevant to India or Nigeria or Indonesia. One can easily imagine reasons why the impact of introducing standardized testing with external comparisons across schools would be wildly different in India and the United States. In the United States, one might imagine schools are somewhere near an efficiency frontier and hence any reform that placed more emphasis on accountability of schools for results on standardized tests might necessarily imply less time and attention to other elements of schooling that parents and educators find equally important. Any debate about NCLB in the United States therefore has to ask not just whether assessment of the NCLB type actually improves performance on the skill sets it measures, but also whether this is a priority and what is sacrificed in achieving those gains. But on outcomes, efficiency, and accountability one can easily see that the United States and India are at very different places. On the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System), sixth graders have to read and respond to paragraphs—long passages with sentences like: “The flying frog is a fascinating example of an animal that has taken its family traits to extremes in adapting to its special environment.” In a national survey of adult women in India, only 35 percent of those who had completed grade 6 could read a single simple sentence like: “Farming is hard work.” The ASER survey suggests that in rural India less than half of those in grade 5 can read a simple grade two story of a few simple sentences. Two India states participated in PISA (like) assessments, Himachal Pradesh (HP) and Tamil Nadu. In HP, only 2.1 percent of students were above level 2 in reading proficiency versus 58.1 percent in the USA and in the USA only .6 percent were “below level 1b” (essentially so low they could not be reliably tested)—in HP this was 22.5 percent of students aged 15. Direct measures of teacher attendance and activity find that in unannounced visits in rural India, about 23.6 percent of teachers are absent during school time—and even more were not in class or engaged in any instructional activity. A household survey in India in 2005 found that in government schools more children were “beaten or pinched” by the teacher (29 percent) than were praised (25 percent). On measures of the efficiency of public school spending in India, on average, about 2.5 times more is spent per pupil than private schools and yet, on average, produce much lower levels of learning. Even correcting for student selection using an experiment, the estimates in one Indian state (Andhra Pradesh) are that the private sector produces the same learning outcomes (actually the same in many subjects and better in one) at a third of the per pupil cost of government schools. In contrast, in the United States the debate about efficiency gains from private (or charter) schools is so heated in part because all agree the differences are modest—no one suggests that in the United States the private schools are factor multiples more cost efficient at producing measured learning as they appear to be in India. Figure 1 places countries in their (roughly) known position of outcomes on standardized assessments of reading and mathematics across countries on the vertical axis and at hypothesized, conjectured, positions on “other elements” of education on the horizontal axis (the figure has question marks because there are no widely accepted measures of these other elements). For instance, we know that on standardized estimates of mathematics like PISA, South Korea’s average is much higher than Denmark’s (in 2012, 554 versus 500). But perhaps these high achievements of Korean students are the result of very high stakes in the student examination system that causes enormous effort and focus on the kinds of skills and capabilities the PISA mathematics assesses. In Denmark, there is consensus that they trade-off higher mathematics performance for other valued outputs of education and hence there is no appetite for a reallocation along an efficiency frontier towards higher scores in mathematics. Vietnam’s participation in PISA surprised nearly everyone when their results were near (or above) those of OECD countries, hence achieving learning results far above the level “expected” for their income per capita. Vietnam’s 2009 PISA reading score was 487, the USA was 500, and Himachal Pradesh’s 2009 PISA-plus score was 319—over 150 points behind Vietnam. Do Denmark and Vietnam have roughly similar scores and perhaps Denmark is producing lots of other outputs or perhaps it isn’t (no one can say for sure)? It is hard to believe that India isn’t just wildly inside its possibility frontier in producing all outcomes of schooling. Figure 1. At an efficiency frontier the choices are about trade-offs of outputs; when countries are inefficient there is the possibility of (much) more of all outputs 2. A system approach is necessary to improve education All of this is just to set up what I believe is one of the most important findings and figures in Woessmann et al.’s “Testing” working paper: the interactionmakes a big difference to the results. Figure 2 (Figure 3 in the paper’s numbering) shows the interaction of the estimated impact of introducing testing of various types, which distinguishes between standardized external comparisons, standardized monitoring, internal testing, and internal teaching monitoring. Figure 2. Effect of student assessments on math performance by initial achievement levels For countries that begin very far behind, at a PISA score of 350, the estimated impacts of introducing either standardized external comparisons or standardized monitoring are huge—a country “effect size” on the order of 1 or larger (as the typical country student standard deviation in PISA is around 70 to 80). Whereas for countries that start with OECD level performance (the PISA, as an instrument of the OECD, was normed to a mean of 500 for the OECD and OECD student standard deviation of 100) the impact of the other types of testing is much smaller (though still statistically significant for three of the types of testing). All of this emphasizes the importance of a system approach to education and to evidence about what to do to improve education. If high-performing systems are high performing precisely because they have created mechanisms that create accountability for education results—including learning—then one would rightly expect introducing new modes of accountability would have relatively small impacts. In contrast, if low-performing systems are low performing precisely because they have not developed modes of accountability that are coherent for learning and which result in massive inefficiencies (as seems plausible), then introducing new modes of accountability via testing and assessments (of the right type, shared in the right way) could potentially have massive impact. On a methodological note, this also suggests that although using cross-national evidence makes it much harder to produce clean and convincing causal identification, extrapolating results from one context to another may have even bigger problems by ignoring systematic differences (see Pritchett and Sandefur 2015 showing an instance with higher mean square error of prediction of impact from using “rigorous” but non-contextual estimates over contextual estimates, even if not well-identified). Even if perfectly rigorous, unassailable evidence from multiple studies in multiple states suggested that NCLB had small, zero, or even negative impacts in the United States, this would, with the existing cross-national evidence (and the obvious cross national differences in measures of system outcomes, efficiency, and accountability) be completely and totally irrelevantfor assessing the likely impacts of introducing standardized external comparisons or standardized monitoring in a low-performing country like India (or many others). Rigorous evidence isn’t when it is extrapolated outside the conditions in which it was generated.

Fourth grade students at Louis Toffolon Elementary School recently participated in a fun and exciting Pumpkin Math activity. Students in Mrs. Parker's, Mrs. Lebel's, and Ms. Persano's classes first estimated the height, weight, girth, and number of seeds in their pumpkins. All three classes later calculated and measured the height, weight, and girth of their pumpkins using measuring tape and scales and compared their estimates to their recorded calculations. Students later estimated the amount of seeds in their pumpkin and used different strategies to group and keep count of how many seeds actually were in their pumpkin. Parent volunteers helped guide small groups through the Pumpkin Math activity. As a culminating event, teachers, students, and parents carved several creative jack-o-lanterns.

Light initiates many chemical reactions. Experiments at the Laser Centre of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Physics have for the first time demonstrated that increasing the intensity of illumination some reactions can be significantly faster. Here, acceleration was achieved using pairs of ultrashort laser pulses. Light-induced reactions can be accelerated by increasing the intensity of illumination — this has been demonstrated in experiments carried out at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPC PAS) in Warsaw. In order to thoroughly investigate the nature of the processes involved, ultra-short consecutive pairs of laser pulses were used, and an increase in the rate of reaction between the molecules was observed by up to several dozen percent. The observations of the Warsaw scientists have been reported in the well-known scientific journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. “Our experiments provide fundamental knowledge about the physical processes that are important for the course of important light-induced reactions. This knowledge can potentially be used in many applications, especially when dealing with high intensity light sources. These include, among others, various microscopic imaging techniques, ultra-fast spectroscopy as well as photovoltaics, particularly if light-focusing devices such as solar collectors are used,” says Dr. Gonzalo Angulo (IPC PAS). In light-induced reactions, a photon with the appropriate energy excites a molecule of dye. When there is a molecule of quencher near the excited molecule, an interaction takes place: there may be a transfer of energy, an electron or a proton, between the two reactants. Reactions of this type are common in nature. A good example is electron transfer in photosynthesis, which plays a key role in the formation of the Earth’s ecosystem. It turns out that a factor that can influence the acceleration of reactions is the intensity of the light that initiates them. In order to study the nature of the processes taking place, the Warsaw chemists used laser pulses lasting femtoseconds instead of the traditional continuous stream of light. The energy of the impulses was adjusted so that, under their influence, the dye molecules moved into the excited energy state. The pulses were grouped in pairs. The interval between pulses in a pair was several dozen picoseconds (trillionths of a second) and was matched to the type of reacting molecules and the environment of the solution. “The theory and the experiments required care and attention, but the physical idea itself is quite simple here,” notes Jadwiga Milkiewicz, a PhD student at IPC PAS, and explains: “In order for the reaction to occur, there must be a molecule of quencher near the light-excited dye molecule. So, if we have a pair of molecules that have already reacted with each other this means that they were close enough to each other. By increasing the number of photons in time, we thus increase the chance that if, after the reaction, both molecules have managed to return to their ground state, the absorption of a new photon by the dye has the potential to initiate another reaction before the molecules move away from each other in space.” The course of reactions in solutions depends on many factors such as temperature, pressure, viscosity or the presence of an electric or magnetic field. The research at the IPC PAS has proved that these factors also influence the acceleration of the chemical reaction that occurs with an increased intensity of illumination. Under some conditions, the acceleration of the reaction was unnoticeable, in optimal conditions the rate of the reaction increased by up to 25-30%. “In our experiments so far, we have concentrated on light-induced electron transfer reactions, that is, those which change the electrical charge of the molecules. However, we do not see any reason why the mechanism we have observed could not function in other variations of these reactions. So, in the near future, we will try to confirm its efficacy in energy transfer reactions or in reactions involving also proton transfer,” says Dr. Angulo.

Africa Oil Corp has signed two production sharing contracts (‘PSCs’) with the Republic of Equatorial Guinea for offshore Blocks EG-18 and EG-31. These PSCs are subject to ratification by the country’s government. Africa Oil will hold eighty per cent (80%) operated interests in each block with the balance to be held by GEPetrol, the national oil company of Equatorial Guinea. GEPetrol has the option of acquiring an additional fifteen percent (15%) participating interest in each block. Both blocks are covered by 3D seismic data and the total minimum work commitment for both blocks in the initial exploration periods is a combined total of USD 7 million, with no drilling commitment. In Block EG-31 the Company has identified several gas-prone prospects in shallow water depths of less than 80 meters and close to existing infrastructure, including the offshore Alba gas field and the onshore Punta Europa Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) Terminal. Potential future discoveries could present low-cost, low-risk gas development opportunities targeting international LNG markets. In Block EG-18 the Company has identified a potentially large and highly prospective basin floor fan prospect of Cretaceous age, that is similar to those within the Company’s exploration portfolio in Namibia and South Africa. Africa Oil President and CEO Keith Hill commented: ‘I am pleased to announce our entry into Equatorial Guinea with two highly-prospective offshore blocks. While we continue our primary focus on cash flowing production assets in order to underpin sustainable shareholder distributions, we still look to add exploration blocks with attractive fiscal terms in advantaged areas where discoveries can be quickly appraised and brought on stream. Block 31 offers the potential for low-risk gas prospects that are in a proven petroleum province with infrastructure and ullage for significant additional volumes of gas. In Block 18 we see a large turbidite fan that is reminiscent of some of our large discoveries in Namibia and South Africa. These blocks offer high-impact value upside for our shareholders at relatively low cost, and we look forward to continued collaboration with the government of Equatorial Guinea to explore and develop its natural resources’
Relational Frame Theory and Behavioral Flexibility Training If you have ever worked with vocal-verbal humans, it would be no surprise to hear the differences in complexity between two speakers. B.F. Skinner developed and produced Verbal Behavior attempting to provide a thorough functional account of language that has proved to be imperative in teaching basic verbal operants. However, refinements for more complex behavior may be useful. Dr. Thomas Szabo summarizes the history of verbal operants and shows how they can be misconstrued. While outlining several aspects of verbal behavior related to relational frame theory (RFT), including stimulus equivalence and rule governance, he delves into the framework of RFT and how it can expand on Skinner’s work to be used more effectively in building complex verbal repertoires in a multitude of populations. Dr. Szabo provides details on the application of behavioral flexibility training (BFT) within the autism population and how it relates to RFT, describing research being conducted and how to apply it to clinical work in teaching, building, and maintaining flexibility from more rigid patterns of behavior. What you’ll learn in the course and be able to do afterward - Given a review of Skinner’s conceptualization of verbal behavior, you’ll be able to - re-examine strengths of Skinner’s argument; - develop and recommend refinements to improve upon Skinner’s argument. - Behaviorally speaking, you’ll take an overview of verbal behavior research and be able to - discuss real-world examples of the transformation of stimulus function, including conceptual and pragmatic issues - compare and contrast contingency-shaped behavior with rule-governed behavior; - define and discuss equivalence as a phenomenon that poses challenges to operant theory. - After an overview of research that led to the development of Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and Behavioral Flexibility Training (BFT), you will be able to - define RFT & BFT; - identify applied RFT strategies to improve relational repertoires; - list the relational repertoires most critical to behavioral flexibility; - identify BFT strategies to improve relational flexibility; - analyze results from recent BFT studies.

Online SLOTS And Their Rigging Slot machines are common sights on any casino or entertainment complex. They have been a mainstay in the wonderful world of gambling because the days of the roulette wheel. In the current modern world, slot machines offer an array of unique and exciting opportunities for those who like to gamble. A slot machine game, also known as the machines, pugs, the mini-slot, craps machines or fruit machines, is a mechanical gaming machine that produces a game of luck for its users. There are numerous kinds of slots, including video slots (they are the most popular) and also instant win combinations machines (instant win versions of traditional slots). In some instances, online casinos allow players to use their hand at combinations with no initial investment. Most online casinos have a variety of different kinds of slots that are popular with players of most ages and demographics. A number of the symbols used in slots are quite obvious, such as “heads” or “tails”. However, other symbols could be more difficult to identify. One example of this would be the letter “C”. Most video slots and progressive slots work with a machine symbol which is by means of a combination of two letters. The mechanics of how slots work is pretty basic, although many factors affect the results of the game. For example, some slot machines focus on “reels”, while some use “wheel” technology. Furthermore, some of these machines use a random number generator, or an internal computerized system that generates different, possibly winning combinations every time the reels are pulled. Other factors include if the reel spins at random or remains in the same position permanently. Slots that use a “wheel” technology operate on the following set of rules: Each time the reels are pulled, four random numbers are picked, and those numbers are placed on the facial skin of the wheel. These numbers are then interpreted by the computer, who chooses which combinations will result in the highest probability of hitting a jackpot. As you may notice, it uses logic rather than chance. The random number generators or computers also use “law of averages”, which means they take the chances and distribute them among all of the possible outcomes. This can be compared to a pastime like basketball, where a player needs to make his shot often on average to get a good potential for hitting a three-point target. There are two primary reasons why players 베스트카지노 encounter more volatile slot games – poor choices and misfortune. In order to improve your odds of winning, you need to know how to minimize your risk and boost your chances of hitting big jackpots. To get this done, you should learn about how slot machines work and prevent making common mistakes when playing. One of the most common mistakes that a lot of slot players make is to bankroll too much on a particular machine. Since gambling is basically a matter of chance, it follows that your odds of winning will undoubtedly be lower if you place larger bets on a specific machine. Because of this , casinos put a limit on the amount of bets that a player can place on a single machine – in theory, they want to discourage players from putting almost all their chips on a single slot and then losing all their money. In real life, it can be tough to identify rigged slots. Alternatively, it can be not too difficult to tell whenever a machine is rigged – especially if you happen to spend an excellent portion of your time and effort playing it at online casinos. Rigged slots are not very easy to spot and in some cases, online slot machines actually use a code or address displayed on screen to trick players into thinking that they are playing for real cash. Fortunately, it is possible to protect yourself against rigged slot machines with an automated computer software called a “roach.” In case you are worried about slot machine scams, it is advisable to research your web casino thoroughly prior to making any purchases.

When you are working with name service domain names and mail domain names, remember the following. By default, the sendmail program strips the first component from the NIS or NIS+ domain name to form the mail domain name. For example, if an NIS+ domain name were bldg5.example.com, its mail domain name would be example.com. Although mail domain addresses are case insensitive, the NIS or NIS+ domain name is not. For the best results, use lowercase characters when setting up the mail and NIS or NIS+ domain names. The DNS domain name and the mail domain name must be identical. For more information, refer to Interactions of sendmail With Name Services.
Christmas (IPA: /krɪsməs/), also referred to as Christmas Day or Christmastide, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that marks and honors the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. His birth, which is the basis for the anno Domini system of dating, has been determined by modern historians as having occurred between 7 and 2 BC. The date of celebration is not thought to be Jesus' actual date of birth. It may have been chosen to coincide with the winter solstice, which the ancient Romans celebrated on December 25. Modern customs of the holiday include gift-giving, church celebrations, and the display of various decorations—including the Christmas tree, lights, mistletoe, nativity scenes and holly. Santa Claus (also referred to as Father Christmas, although the two figures have different origins) is a popular mythological figure often associated with bringing gifts at Christmas. Santa is generally believed to be the result of a syncretization between St. Nicholas of Myra and elements from pagan Nordic and Christian mythology, and his modern appearance is believed to have originated in 19th century media. Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. The holiday is widely celebrated around the world, including in the United States, where it is celebrated by 96% of the population. Some Orthodox groups celebrate Christmas on or near January 7, as January 7 corresponds to December 25 using the Julian calendar. Because gift-giving and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, Christmas has become a major event for many retailers.
Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Jon Meacham offers a collection of inspiring words about how to be a good citizen, from Thomas Jefferson and others, and reminds us why our country’s founding principles are still so important today. Thomas Jefferson believed in the covenant between a government and its citizens, in both the government’s responsibilities to its people and also the people’s responsibility to the republic. In this illuminating book, a project of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello, the #1 New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham presents selections from Jefferson’s writing on the subject, with an afterword by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed and comments on Jefferson’s ideas from others, including Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright, Frederick Douglass, Carl Sagan, and American presidents. This curated collection revitalizes how to see an individual’s role in the world, as it explores such Jeffersonian concepts as religious freedom, the importance of a free press, public education, participation in government, and others. Meacham writes, “In an hour of twenty-first-century division and partisanship, of declining trust in institutions and of widespread skepticism about the long-term viability of the American experiment, it is instructive to return to first principles. Not, to be sure, as an exercise in nostalgia or as a flight from the reality of our own time, but as an honest effort to see, as Jefferson wrote, what history may be able to tell us about the present and the future.”

Bizarre-looking bugs known as scale insects may be tiny but they can take down an oak tree. Considered pests, the creatures tend to flock to cities where they weaken, and in some cases, kill trees by sucking out their sap. A new study shows that scale insects are found in big numbers in populous regions because they have adapted to the heat of urban areas. The pests threaten to become a bigger problem as climate change drives temperatures up, researchers warn. "We now have a better understanding of why trees in urban areas are infested by so many of these pests," study researcher Steve Frank, an assistant professor of entomology at North Carolina State University, said in a statement. "And if climate change causes temperatures to rise in forests, as we expect, we may see scale insects becoming a much bigger problem for ecosystem health." Frank and his colleagues analyzed the Raleigh, N.C., populations of the oak lecanium scale insect (Parthenolecanium quercifex), which feeds exclusively on oaks. By looking at temperature maps of the city, the researchers found that the scale populations were as much as 800 percent higher in the warm zones. The team then collected scale insect egg sacs from both hot and cool zones and incubated them in hot and cool greenhouses. In the hot greenhouse, the egg sacs from the warmest urban zones produced almost four times as many insects as the egg sacs from cooler urban zones. To try to explain this trend, the researchers looked at the prevalence of parasites and the fertility rates among the insects from both hot and cold zones of the city, but they did not find any significant differences. The scientists concluded that the bugs have locally adapted in response to urban warming. "The scale insects in the hotter urban zones appear to have adapted or acclimated to the higher temperatures in urban environments," study researcher Emily Meineke, a doctoral student at NC State, said in the statement. "Theoretically, that adaptation would also allow them to take advantage of warmer temperatures that may result from climate change." The urban heat island effect can make temperatures several degrees warmer in a city than its surrounding rural areas, as clusters of roads and buildings are very good absorbers of the sun's rays. Rising numbers of scale insects in cities could spell trouble for city trees, which can provide some environmental benefits like cooling through shade and carbon sequestration. And if global temperatures continue to rise, scale insects could spread outside cities and infest more rural trees, the researchers warn. Their findings were detailed in a study published online last week in the journal PLOS ONE. Related on LiveScience and MNN:

Vitamins, Nutraceuticals, and Botanicals It is important to use high quality, European standardized, physician-grade nutraceuticals. You may ask why can’t I just go to the grocery or a commercial supplement store? - Where did it come from? Did they use pesticides and other neurotoxic chemicals for control of growth? - How was it processed? What type/form of chemicals did they use to extract the product you are ingesting? - What is added to it (binders, fillers, etc)? Just because a product is “natural” does not mean it doesn’t have side effects, interactions, and potential toxicity. Take vitamins for example: You urinate them out right? WRONG, not when it comes to the fat soluble forms (A,D,E,K) these are stored in our adipose cells (fat) and can build up in your system. This is especially an issue when it comes to fish oils. Where did they get there fish from? What is the process in which they filter and therefore assure you, the consumer, that there isn’t heavy metals (such as mercury, arsenic, etc.) in the supplement. Although fish oils, essential fatty acids, are recommended by many physicians today—if you are ingesting heavy metals you are actually causing more damage than good.

आदर्शों को भुलाते निर्देश - युवा संगठन भी उपेक्षा के शिकार ----- अरविन्द विद्रोही बतौर समाजवादी पार्टी के प्रदेश अध्यक्ष अखिलेश यादव - मुख्यमंत्री ,उत्तर प्रदेश शासन ने विगत १०जनवरी ,२०१३ को पत्रांक संख्या २९०६/२०१३ के माध्यम से समाजवादी पार्टी के समस्त जिला /महानगर अध्यक्ष तथा महासचिव , सांसद / पूर्व सांसद , विधायक / पूर्व विधायक , सदस्य विधान परिषद / पूर्व सदस्य विधान परिषद , राज्य कार्यकारिणी के पदाधिकारी / सदस्य , सम्बद्ध प्रकोष्ठों के प्रदेश अध्यक्ष तथा जिला / महानगर अध्यक्षों को तमाम निर्देश जारी किये थे । इस परिपत्र में जारी तमाम निर्देश पूर्व में भी कई मर्तबा मौखिक - लिखित जारी किये जा चुके हैं , ये अलग तथ्य है कि समाजवादी पार्टी के कार्यकर्ता/पदाधिकारी इन निर्देशों को कतई अमल में नहीं लाते हैं । सपा कार्यालय के ही परिपत्र संख्या ४५८/२०१२ दिनांक १४ मार्च ,२०१२ में भी स्पष्ट रूप से अपेक्षा की गयी थी कि पार्टी के नेता / पदाधिकारी / कार्यकर्ता अपने वाहनों पर हूटर व लाल बत्ती न लगायें । और तो और अपने-अपने विजिटिंग कार्ड पर तमाम लोगों ने सपा मुखिया मुलायम सिंह यादव और प्रदेश अध्यक्ष अखिलेश यादव के चित्र तक छपवा रखे थे जिसको संज्ञान में लेते हुए इस प्रकार के कृत्यों को न करने की अपेक्षा भी सपा प्रदेश अध्यक्ष अखिलेश यादव ने की और स्पष्टता स्वीकारा कि इन कृत्यों से पार्टी तथा सरकार की छवि पर प्रतिकूल असर पड़ेगा । जब जागे तभी सबेरा की कहावत को चरितार्थ करने की प्रक्रिया में १५ जिम्मेदार पदाधिकारियों का चयन अखिलेश यादव ने कर दिया जो जनपदों का भ्रमण करेंगे और छान बीन करके पता लगायेंगे कि ऐसे कौन से कार्यकर्ता / पदाधिकारी अथवा व्यक्ति हैं जो अपने वाहनों पर हूटर , स्टीकर अथवा लाल बत्ती लगायें हैं , होर्डिंग्स पर भी इनको नज़र रखनी है । होर्डिंग्स के संदर्भ में लिए गए निर्णय की जानकारी देते हुए अखिलेश यादव के हस्ताक्षर युक्त परिपत्र में लिखा है कि राष्ट्रीय ,प्रदेशीय , जिला स्तरीय तथा विधान सभा स्तरीय संगठन द्वारा निर्धारित कार्यक्रमों की होर्डिंग्स संगठन के अध्यक्ष के स्तर से लगायी जा सकेगी , जिसमे आयोजक अपना चित्र नहीं लगायेंगे । केवल राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष , प्रदेश अध्यक्ष अथवा मुख्य अतिथि के चित्र लगाये जा सकते हैं । यदि लोकसभा चुनाव हेतु प्रत्याशी होर्डिंग लगवाना चाहे तो वह राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष तथा स्वयं अपना चित्र छाप सकता है । निवेदक के रूप में प्रत्याशी को अपना ही नाम लिखवाने की हिदायत भी इसी परिपत्र में दी गयी है । किसी भी राजनैतिक संगठन के संचालन के अपने तौर-तरीके होते हैं । अपने संगठन को सुचारू ढंग से संचालित करते रहने , अनुशासित रखने और उसमे गतिशीलता रखने की जिम्मेदारी भी संगठन के मुखिया समेत अन्य जिम्मेदारों , रणनीतिकारों की होती है । पत्रांक संख्या २९०६/२०१३ में सपा प्रदेश अध्यक्ष अखिलेश यादव द्वारा जारी यह एक निर्देश कि होर्डिंग्स में केवल राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष , प्रदेश अध्यक्ष अथवा मुख्य अतिथि का चित्र लगाया जा सकता है - अचम्भित करने वाला है । न सिर्फ अचम्भित करने वाला वरन अगर यह लिपिकीय त्रुटि न होकर सोच-समझ कर , जाँच- परख कर जारी किया गया निर्देश है तो अत्यन्त दुखद - समाजवादियों के ह्रदय को दुखाने , भावनाओं को ठेस पहुँचाने वाला कदम है । डॉ राम मनोहर लोहिया के विचारों पर बनी समाजवादी पार्टी के होर्डिंग्स में डॉ लोहिया के ही चित्र व जिक्र की अनिवार्यता का न होना दुखद है ।अभी २२ जनवरी को ही छोटे लोहिया जनेश्वर मिश्र की पुण्य तिथि पर सपा के सर्वेसर्वा मुलायम सिंह यादव ने स्पष्टतया कहा था कि यह जनेश्वर जी ही थे जिन्होंने कन्नौज से अखिलेश को सांसद का चुनाव लड़ाने को कहा । खुद अखिलेश यादव यह स्वीकारते रहें हैं कि जनेश्वर जी ने सबसे पहले उन्हें राजनीति में आने को प्रेरित किया था और वो जनेश्वर जी को अपना प्रेरणाश्रोत - आदर्श मानते हैं । आखिर जिन डॉ लोहिया की विचारधारा को आधार बनाकर और जिन छोटे लोहिया का साथ लेकर मुलायम सिंह यादव ने १९९२ में समाजवादी पार्टी का गठन किया ,उनके चित्र - जिक्र की अनिवार्यता से परहेज किन परिस्थितियों में किया जा रहा है ? पूर्ण बहुमत हासिल करने के पश्चात् कहीं समाजवादी पार्टी सत्ता के गलियारे में अपने इन आदर्शों को तिलांजलि देकर नूतन विचारधारा के प्रतिपादन और उसकी स्थापना में तो नहीं लग चुकी है यह सवाल जेहन में कौंधता है । सरकार गठन के पश्चात् संगठन के पदाधिकारियों को जारी परिपत्र में होर्डिंग्स में डॉ लोहिया-जनेश्वर मिश्र के चित्र की अनिवार्यता का जिक्र आखिर कैसे रह गया ? यह सत्ता के राही और सिर्फ मलाई काटने के फेर में लगे रहने वाले पेशेवर लोगों के लिए नहीं बल्कि समाजवादी मूल्यों की स्थापना को अपना लक्ष्य मानकर डॉ लोहिया के विचारों की मशाल लेकर समाजवादी पार्टी के संघर्ष में सहयोग-साथ देने वालों के लिए एक अफसोसजनक कृत्य है । इस निर्देश के सन्दर्भ में डॉ लोहिया को अपना नेता मानने वाले सपा सुप्रीमों मुलायम सिंह यादव को ध्यान केन्द्रित करके अपना रुख अतिशीघ्र स्पष्ट करना चाहिए । खैर ,इसी परिपत्र में सभी जिला / महानगर अध्यक्षों , महासचिवों से यह भी अपेक्षा की गयी कि वे अपने जनपद में मनमाने ढंग से कार्य न होने दें । निर्देशों का पालन न करने वालों , अनुशासनहीनता करने वालों की सूची भी प्रत्येक माह भेजने को कहा गया है ताकि उसपर विचार कर कार्यवाही की जा सके । इन निर्देशों का पालन नहीं कराये जाने पर जिला / महानगर अध्यक्ष को ही दोषी माने जाने की चेतावनी भी दी है । अंत में अपने इस परिपत्र में जिला/ विधान सभा स्तर की संगठन की बैठकों में इस परिपत्र को पढ़कर सुनाये जाने को भी निर्देशित किया गया जिससे कि अधिक से अधिक लोगों तक इन निर्देशों की जानकारी हो । निर्देश जारी होकर सभी को प्राप्त भी हो गए , समाचार पत्रों की सुर्ख़ियों में भी विवरण आया , एक माह पुनः पूरा होने को है लेकिन समाजवादी पार्टी के मनमाने प्रवृत्ति के तमाम धुरंधरों पर किंचित प्रभाव नहीं पड़ा है । उनकी व उनके चेले-चपाटों की होर्डिंग्स अभी भी सपा नेतृत्व के निर्देशों को ठेंगा दिखा रही है और यह कृत्य उन्ही की सरपरस्ती में हो रहा है जिनको इसकी रोकथाम करनी चाहिए । हर एक होर्डिंग किसी न किसी प्रभावी नेता के शिष्य ने उनकी सहमति -अनुमति से ही लगवाई है यह कटु सत्य है ।और तो और लखनऊ सपा कार्यालय के बाहर खड़ी तमाम गाड़ियों में विजय २०१२- लक्ष्य २०१४ का मुलायम सिंह - स्टीकर अभी भी लगा सहज दिख ही जाता है ।

I just acquired the Flurry (snowball autorifle) and don't know how I lived without it before. :-) I tried to shoot Kenny but it won't let me shoot Player Chars. So how are other characters shooting me with their snow weapons? Do they know a glitch that I don't?
