I have published the slide deck for the talk (as PDF, 1.4 MB). The talk started with a quick refresh of five Array’s functions: map, filter, reduce, some, and every. Those functions will be used in the subsequent three parts of the talk: sequences, searching, and finally sorting. The first one, building sequences without any explicit loop, sets the stage for the rest of the discussion. The age of exploration is just beginning.

This week, Gloria is joined by Belinda Kangwa from Scrapbook Direct. She will be showing us how to make personalised greeting cards and gift bags that have creative designs and colours. We will learn exciting techniques using specialised craft equipment such as dry embossing, dye-cutting, layering, creating textures, card measurements and so much more. 2 pieces of scrapbook paper 12×12” or 2x A4 papers. Insert the longest side of the paper and press it against the top of the board. Score a 1 3/8” line on the short side of the paper. This is the part of the bag that we will fold over to create a neat and sturdy edge at the top. Rotate the paper and on the longest side of the paper score a 5/8” line. This forms the lip that you use to attach the 2 sides of the bag together. Remember that you always punch the BOTTOM of the bag – this becomes relevant when you are working with a patterned paper like the one we used where the cakes have to face upward. Press the length of the paper that you want to use as the “width of the bag” against the top of the board. Insert the paper from the right and align it with the “start line” printed on the board. PUNCH. Score the horizontal line, then the “V”. The “V” creates the gusset of the bag. You can expand the length and the height of the bag, but the gusset will always remain the same. Remember to score both vertical lines as well. Take care not to score over the bottom edge of the board as you may damage your paper. Step 4: Move the paper to the left. Remember to complete the horizontal score line through all the phases as you move up the paper. The second score line must line up with the start line (little plastic lip on the board) PUNCH. Line up your last score line with the plastic lip and PUNCH. Use the scoring tool to flatten all the score lines. Take care to flatten the “V” of the gusset correctly. You have to fold the gusset in a zig-zag pattern to get the correct shape. Step 5: Snip away all the small corners that will prevent the bag from closing properly. You can punch through 2 layers of paper to make the holes for the bag, but not 3 pieces. Repeat all the steps on the second paper. Step 6: Attach the double-sided tape correctly on the bag as shown. Place the 2 parts you have made down in front of you so that the pieces line up correctly. Stick the narrow side lip of the first paper to the gusset of the second paper. At this point you can fold the top part of the bag over and use double-punch the back of the punchboard to make holes in the top of the bag where you can attach ribbons or a handle if so desired. Stick all the sides of the bag together. Decide what size pinwheel you want to make and cut the paper size according to the size guide provided. The paper size for the pinwheel we will be making is 4×4” (10.2cm) The Punch Board has 2 sides. The left side is used to make single pinwheels and the right side is used in combination with the left side to make double pinwheels. Step 8: Lift the transparent plastic cover. Punch the four corners of both squares. Place the first square to line up with the guide (using the correct measurement) on the left and press down so that the point presses a hole in the paper. Step 9: Remove the blade from the housing, insert it in the left rail and cut down. Remove the blade. Leave the paper pierced through the plastic point and simply rotate it so that the cut line lines up with the blade track. Insert the blade again in the rail and cut. Complete all 4 cuts. This shape makes a single pinwheel. Step 10: Repeat the process with the second square but on the right hand side of the board. You will notice that the cut made on the right hand side is less curved than the one made on the left hand side. Step 11: When all the cuts have been made, overlap the 2 squares at 45’. Make sure that the square with the cuts that are rounder (the one you made first) is in front. Tuck the corners of the back square through the slits of the top square. Use a toothpick from the back to keep the holes aligned while you fold the fans of the pinwheel in place. Insert a brad and ‘voila’, your pinwheel is complete! Step 1: Trim the cream cardstock down to 260mm x 160mm and then fold the card in half and flatten with your paper shaping tool. Step 2: Take the card and insert one of the halves into the embossing folder. Line it up with your pattern and run through your die-cut machine. This is called dry embossing. Step 3: Take out the dies you want to use for the project and layer them on top of each other to get the design right. Remember that the cards will ultimately be a mirror image of what you are doing. Select the cardstock colours you want to use for your project and die-cut them out. You have to use a metal shim to cut most of the very finely detailed dies on the market today for the best results. Step 4: To make a realistic looking flower you have to layer at least 3 petal shapes on top of each other. However, it is important to stretch the fibers in the paper of the flower to create a more organic shape. Place the flower shapes on top of the molding mat and using your paper shaping tool, very gently (without tearing or folding the paper) from the center of the flower, press down and with circular movements start to stretch the paper so that the petals lift up. Turn the paper over and repeat on the other side. Do this with all the petals until you are satisfied with the result. Layer them on top of each other so that the petals overlap and stick them together using glue. Do this on all three flowers. Step 6: To easily remove all the bits and pieces form your die, place the die facing down on top of your molding mat and gently run over it with the Tool-n-one. Using this tool cuts down your die-cut time by +-80%. Step 7: Make sure that the card opens the correct way before gluing down the individual items (you will be amazed how many people, even experienced card makers, accidentally glue items upside down on the card!) Also make sure that you get the spacing just right before sticking down the items. Glue the clock onto the paper, then the swirls and the leaves. Step 8: Use 3mm as well as 1mm foam tape to achieve different depths on the flowers and stick them down so that they overlap each other. Use the quick-stik tool to glue the pearls to the center of the flowers. Your card is now complete and ready to be used.

Researchers and medical professionals have spent years perfecting machines that can be used to sustain life. We have amazing medical technology; artificial breathing machines, tubes that transport food or fluid, and machines that can sometimes restart a stopped heart. Clearly, these devices can provide short-term help to people who have suffered from a traumatic injury or illness by giving their body time to recover. Life-sustaining machines can also be utilized well after medical professionals determine that there is no brain functioning occurring and that a person's medical situation is not likely to improve or change at any point in the future. Essentially, we can be kept alive solely by machines on an indefinite basis (or for very long periods of time), without any reasonable chance of our ever regaining the ability to breathe, eat or act independently. Due to ethical and legal concerns, hospitals have established very clear policies about the use of heroic measures. In the past, medical professionals have been sued by families for allowing a patient to die when the family believed the hospital could have prevented the death if only they had continued to provide care. Therefore, hospitals tend to use all heroic measures available to them unless there is a healthcare directive in place, or the family is willing to sign a document stating that they do not want such measures used and that they are releasing the hospital from any liability if the patient dies. If the dying person you love has not already filled out a health care directive, urge them to do so as part of their dying "business." As mentioned previously, it is critical that a dying person make his or her wishes known in advance of their becoming incapacitated. An advance directive can reduce the possibility of family members having to make medical decisions without guidance or directions. Choosing a health care proxy by filling out a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care can also avoid a situation where well-meaning family members choose to begin or continue heroic measures that a person would not want if he or she was making the choice.

On the job training is a quick method of training. There is no time being wasted in the classroom, only for the person to get to the job and still not know what to do. This is also a way of someone getting their feet wet from the get go, and not having to learn over a long period of time. * When a company is short on employees, and needs to hire someone new, they are able to have the employee immediately on the job! This means there is not any extra time wasted with less people on the job. * It is often times hard to create a simulation of the work environment in a training field. By doing the on the job training, everyone is taught exactly what they will be using on a daily basis. * Cost effective method of on the job training, means that no money is being wasted on separate training.

Publication synopsis The question of discrepancies between laboratory figures and vehicle emissions on the road was brought into sharp focus with the discovery of the manipulation of vehicle emissions systems by the Volkswagen group, the so-called "dieselgate" scandal, which came to light in September 2015. This briefing paper sets out the actions taken, at the level of the European Union and Member States, and describes changes made to the system for measuring vehicle emissions after September 2015. The paper does not seek to assess whether the actions taken and proposed have solved the problem.

When Can I See the Desert in Bloom? There is no single "best time" to see desert wildflowers, as different types of plants bloom at different times. At White Sands National Monument, flowers bloom later than those in the surrounding desert foothills, due to the pool of cold air from the mountains that settles into the basin at night. Most wildflowers begin blooming around the middle of April. The most common early bloomers in the dunefield include sand verbena, Hartweg's sundrops, desert mentzelia, and White Sands mustard. In mid-May, these are joined by gypsum centaury, white evening primrose, and greenthread. Some plants may continue to produce flowers throughout the summer, especially after monsoon-season rains. Pepperweed, a white-flowered mustard that is often overlooked, grows throughout the residential area and dune margins. It is the hardiest wildflower in the park and is the first plant to bloom in the spring, usually around the first of March, earlier in warmer years. It blooms throughout the summer and into the fall. Pepperweed has been seen in bloom in the monument every month of the year. Spring is when all of the small wildflowers begin to bloom and the grasses and bushes begin to turn green. Soaptree yucca is the star of the spring flowers. It grows tall and can easily be spotted throughout the dunes. Its flowers are white and have the appearance of upside down tulips. Another big contender in the spring is the prairie gentian. This wildflower is easiest to spot at the beginning of the Dune Life Nature Trail. There is also a white version of the plant that will bloom next to the purple one. Many wildflowers are seen in the summer but few are robust enough to bloom during high temperatures. These plants have smaller flowers like the gypsum centaury and desert mentzelia. They can be found growing in the interdunal areas throughout the entire dunefield. Even though most of the plants at White Sands bloom in the spring and summer, there is still color to be seen in the fall. The fall colors can begin to appear as early as October and last through November. This is the time when the Rio Grande cottonwood trees begin to turn a beautiful orange and the skunkbush sumacs start to turn a vibrant red. These plants can be found throughout the first five miles of Dunes Drive. Download our Desert in Color brochure.

The extraordinary mummified remains of a 50-year-old woman discovered in a fetal position is set to go on display at a museum in France. As reported in The Independent, the 1,000-year-old mummy was discovered in 2012 at the ancient Peruvian settlement of Pachacamac near Lima. French archaeologists, who found the mummy crouched in a fetal position, have been careful to preserve the integrity of the remains by keeping it in the same configuration as when it was discovered. The new exhibition at the Musee de Confluences in Lyon will explore various human representations of death in different ages and cultures from around the world. Two years ago, archaeologists from the Université Libre de Bruxelles excavated the 600 hectare Pachacamac site, where they found 70 bodies similar to the one on display. This mummy was found scattered around the bodies in the 1,000-year-old tomb, and they may have been ritually sacrificed. The Ichma peoples lived in the region from 800 A.D. to 1450 A.D. where they constructed 17 pyramids and worshipped the god Pacha Kamaq. Their culture and systems of belief were later absorbed by the Inca empire after it conquered the relatively small community. Archaeologists consider Pachacamac to be among the most important ancient settlement, equal to Machu Picchu and Nazca Lines.

My favorite!! It is basically a vegetable soup flavoured with kwas (a fermented juice which is used to give it a sour flavour). You can either buy the kwas from the polish store or follow the recipe below. Rinse out an earthenware jar or any non-alluminium container with boiling water. (Note: the alluminium would react with the acidity of the kwas). Put the flour in the jar and mix to a liquid paste with a little of water. Leave the mixture to settle for a few minutes, and then pour on the remaining boiled water. Chop the garlic and add. Cover the top of the jar with muslin or pierced cling film and leave in a warm place for 4 to 5 days to ferment. Strain and use as required. If stored in an airtight container, it will keep for a few weeks. Heat the stock. Chop bacon and onion and add to stock. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, kwas, cream and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes and then add potatoes and sausage. Bring to boil. Serves 6.

The chief of police in Washington, D.C., described all the issues created by the implementation of restrictive gun laws at a press conference about crime in the city Thursday. The city is in the midst of a spike in murders that has brought it to nearly 30 percent above the same time last year and is on pace to reach 145 by the end of the year, a six-year high. Washington, D.C., which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, has banned high capacity magazines, or those that can carry more than 10 rounds. Lanier said recent pushes to ban high capacity magazines by states around the country scared people into purchasing large quantities of the magazines, and somehow they are flooding onto the streets in D.C., where they are banned. Lanier also attributed the city’s recent murder spike to repeat offenders who have recently been released from prison obtaining weapons and then using them to murder people. Federal law prohibits anyone convicted of a felony from owning or possessing a firearm, yet somehow more than 10 percent of the murders in the city so far this year were committed by felons. Washington, D.C., has a “may issue” handgun licensing policy, meaning it is very difficult for city residents to obtain a license to carry a handgun. Under the restrictive D.C. handgun law, a person would need to prove a current and immediate threat to their safety and property to acquire a license to carry a handgun. The district has been battling in court for months to keep the law intact and in June a judge issued a stay on a lower court’s ruling that the law was unconstitutional. The city doesn’t have to issue permits during the stay and no date has been set for the next hearing in the case.

From desert to snow, from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the top of Angels Landing… it was such an epic road trip. Horseshoe Bend was just the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I still can’t believe you can just walk right to the edge. Antelope Canyon was a last minute change due to the snow, and wow, what a great “back up” plan that turned out to be. Some of my favourite places in the world, right here. They hold a very dear place in my heart. I got married in Vegas in 2011. I bungee jumped off the Navajo bridge at Marble Canyon for my honeymoon. We spent our first wedding anniversary in the Grand Canyon. So it was so cool to be able to re-visist some wonderful memories, as well as make some more. These photos were taken with the Panasonic G7 and the Olympus Pen F.

This article was first published in the Church of Ireland Gazette 31 March 2017. The Irish Parliament has become the first country in the world to vote for full divestment from fossil fuel companies. It is a move based on ethical principles and increases pressure on Churches in Ireland to do the same. The vote in the Dáil means that the €8 billion Ireland Strategic Investment Fund must sell its shares in coal, oil and gas companies over the next five years. The Irish Parliament has joined a divestment movement that started in 2008 and is now worth $5 trillion dollars globally. The movement started when a group of university students decided to take action. The students had learnt that 80% of existing fossil fuel deposits must stay in the ground to avoid dangerous climate change, so their message was simple: if you are not careful, your fossil fuel investments might become stranded and worthless.

As my family sits here enthralled in those ever-important play-off games, I thought I would put out a couple of posts. My first post is an edible snowflake. I found this my ever reliable Mailbox magazine, Dec./Jan. 2002-3, Kindergarten edition. I made this with my students a few years ago. They really enjoyed it, but mom and dad, it is sweet. I gave each child the large marshmallow and 6 pretzel sticks. The children push the pretzel sticks into the side of the marshmallow to make a star-like pattern. At the end of each pretzel stick a small marshmallow get pushed on. The final step is to spread frosting on the pretzel sticks to make them white. I put the frosting in the microwave to soften it up and make it easier for the children to spread on the pretzels. I know I have a sweet tooth, but this snack is a little too sweet for me--actually I don't care for marshmallows, but the children? Well, they loved it. I have included a picture of a what I sent home to the parents that day, so they knew what we made. It's a fun project--as is anything involving making something to eat:). Mailbox has the greatest ideas. I still have some of my magazines from the 90s that I use. My kids would love this!! Any activity with sweets!

The rheology, structure and evolution of the lithosphere on Earth and terrestrial planets. These questions are addressed using the tools of seismology and potential field analysis, with an emphasis on the development of data processing techniques. Primary foci of Dr. Audet's research are subduction zones, continental strike-slip fault zones, deformation of continents, and the thermal and mechanical structure and evolution of terrestrial planets.

As part of their personal development project, a group of VCAL students set out to learn about the issue of homelessness and share that knowledge with members of the community. The busy and committed VCALs learned about the causes of homelessness including a confronting visit to the Salvation Army in Melbourne’s CBD. The project research included interviews with many people working behind the scenes supporting homeless people. Once it was time to share the knowledge, they created an age appropriate class lesson for students from the Pakenham Consolidated School. Our College students were pleased to see that at the end of their lesson presentation, the young students were able to demonstrate – through pictures (see below) – their understanding of what homelessness looks like and what it is exactly.

The new Vidopp.com site is up, and a little bit ago they asked me to start a blog and occasionally do some entries there. So I did. Vidopp.com is one of the best amalgamators and conglomoratrixes of the internet video contest world, and I have been in touch with them for a long time, frequently sending contests their way when they have slipped through the cracks to pass them on to the rest of the world. For the most part, the community is lovely. Anyway, here’s my spectacular and amazing first entry. I titled the blog “fun things are fun.” Which they are. Enjoy.

A landmark new installation which uses interactive computer software to allow the user to build their own customized Sonoma soundscape from a collection of 118 organized 'elements', all recorded in the county. The project was first presented in 2013 at Hammerfriar Gallery in Healdsburg, Calif. A version for lower Manhattan is in development now. The Periodic Table of Sonic Elements is ideally suited for installation in natural history museums, representing as it does the current trend towards mashups, and interactive access to museum collections. The Sonic Table perfectly combines the visuals of a collection item with its soundworld, triggering imagination. Further, the Sonic Table is built on the principle of acoustic partitioning (See Bernie Krause and the Niche Hypothesis), which dictates that in nature individual animals avoid competing with each other in the same frequency space, singing different notes to be clearly heard through the din. The real-time scrolling spectrogram on the display of my installation allows one to see the effect of adding in different sounds, and can clearly demonstrate what happens to birdsong when traffic noise gets to loud. We can also build a simulation which allows one to design sounds that fit neatly into the existing soundscape, and see how noise pollution undermines natural life.

A new material, designed and patented by researchers at Berkeley Lab, converts ethane to ethanol with an efficiency that could cut natural-gas refining costs. Xiao and Jeffrey Long, scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division and professor of chemistry at the UC Berkeley focused this project on converting ethane to ethanol. Ethanol is a potential alternative fuel that burns cleaner and has a higher energy density than other alternative fuels like methanol. One problem with ethanol, however, is that current methods for production require extreme heat, which makes it expensive. The innovation came when Long and Xiao designed a material called Fe-MOF-74, in a class of materials called metal-organic frameworks or MOFs. Because of their cage-shaped structures, MOFs boast a high surface area, which mean they can absorb extremely large amounts of gas or liquid compared to the weight of the MOF itself. Since MOFs are essentially structured like a collection of tiny cages, they can capture other molecules, acting as a filter. Additionally, they can perform chemistry as molecules pass through the cages, becoming little chemical factories that convert one substance to another. It’s this chemical-conversion feature of MOFs that Long and Xiao took advantage of. Ethane is a molecule made of two carbon atoms where each atom is surrounded by atoms of hydrogen. Ethanol is also made of two carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, but one of its carbon atoms is also bonded to a hydrogen-oxygen ion called a hydroxyl. Previous attempts to add a hydroxyl ion to ethane to make ethanol have required high pressure and high temperatures that range from 200 to 300 degrees Celsius. It’s costly and inconvenient. But by using a specially designed MOF—one in which a kind of iron was added inside the tiny molecular cages—the researchers were able to reduce the need for extreme heat, converting ethane to alcohol at just 75 degrees Celsius. “This is getting toward a holy grail in chemistry which is to be able to cleanly take alkanes to alcohols without a lot of energy,” says Long. Long and Xiao worked closely with researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the University of Minnesota, the University of Delaware, and the University of Turin to design, model, and characterize the MOF and resultant ethanol production. This research was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Division of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences. Reactivity studies were supported by the Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Work at the Molecular Foundry and experiments performed at the Advanced Light Source were funded by the DOE’s Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

From outer space, our planet looks like a giant blue marble. But it is a marble that is also washed in green. From the forest floor to the canopy, and from the tropics to the Taiga, this film celebrates the marvelous ecosystems that make up the world’s great forests. They moderate our climates, sequester our carbon, and recharge our atmosphere. They envelope the Earth, and we should be so grateful that they do.

Lately there has been a lot of discussion on your carbon footprint and its impact on the environment. But what does that even mean? Your carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide you produce both directly and indirectly. You increase your carbon footprint by simply doing things like heating and cooling your home, driving your car, and even charging your cell phone. Most of our power comes from burning fossil fuels. Anytime you are using power, you are increasing your carbon footprint. But do not worry, there are many ways that you can reduce your footprint by being conscious of your handprints. In everything you do, there is a way to be more efficient. One topic of discussion is online shopping. The idea is that by ordering something online instead of driving to the store, you can reduce your carbon footprint because you will not be using your car. This is an excellent way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide you create, but only if it is done correctly. Ordering in bulk is the key. If you order one shirt from store A, another from store B, and something else from store C and they are all shipped separately, you are creating more carbon dioxide than if you drove to the mall and got all of your items in one trip. This is also not a good idea if you have the ability to walk or bike to the store. Those means of transportation will use even less energy. So what is a good solution to this problem? There are many retailers that are developing programs where you can schedule deliveries at your convenience. For example, CVS allows you to schedule deliveries if you know you always need certain items. If you need ibuprofen, band aids, and toilet paper on a monthly basis, you can have CVS deliver it to you automatically each month. This will not only save you time, it can also greatly reduce your carbon footprint if you are able to order many items at once. The goal is to reduce the number of trips you make thus lowering your impact. There are many other ways to reduce your carbon footprint, but this topic is an emerging field that is becoming hugely popular. Again, it is important to use discretion when implementing this strategy. Remember the goal is to reduce the use of your vehicle as much as possible.

When it comes to running a restaurant, there are few pieces of equipment more important than your oven. Unless everything you make is either fried or microwaved, you will have ovens in your restaurant and they will not be the typical residential ovens you find in most homes. These are commercial ovens, which are completely different. While their basic functions are very similar, commercial ovens are built to handle long hours and intense heat and stress. They are built this way to ensure that they won't break down under the extreme demands of a full time kitchen putting out meals all day and night. Commercial ovens are also designed to meet safety and health codes whereas most residential ovens are not. There are many benefits that commercial ovens provide over residential ovens that make using them essential for any restaurant owner. The consistency they provide is second to none and you can always count on the same standard of quality coming from a commercial oven. They also allow you to save time and energy with preset options and the ability to cook huge batches of food at once. All commercial ovens are not made the same however, and different types work better with certain types of food. Standard ovens are the most common form of commercial ovens and can cook almost any type of food. The only downside to this type of oven is that because it's not specialized sometimes certain types of food can be undercooked or cooked unevenly if the temperature isn't high enough. Convection ovens are basically the same as standard ovens but they have added air circulation technology which cooks the food faster. Conveyor ovens cook food using a conveyor belt system that blows hot air on the food and cooks it extremely fast. This type of oven is best used for mass produced food and can be inefficient when trying to cook more delicate items. A cook and hold oven is another type of commercial oven and can be used to slow cook food as well as hold it there for long periods of time without losing heat. They are best used for complex delicate dishes that require long sitting times. Deck ovens cook food by placing it on piping hot heated stones or bricks. These are also known as brick ovens and can most commonly be found at pizza shops and bakeries. This type of commercial oven is best used for cooking lots of bread based foods and is not really good for much else. Rotisserie ovens are used to cook huge amounts of meat and work by rotating the meat on a stick of some sort so it can be evenly blasted by heat on all sides. They can also cook vegetables and other things that can be skewered. Salamander broilers are tiny ovens that can cook food in an unbelievably short amount of time. They are most often used for special foods and items that are hardly ever ordered. Cheesemelters are true to their name as they are primarily used to melt cheese. They are not capable of cooking normal food but are extremely useful for melting cheese or browning foods that just need a slight finishing touch of heat. Now that you know the differences and benefits of each type of commercial oven, you can best decide what your restaurant requires and avoid wasting money on a useless equipment or worse, attempting to cook your food with a residential oven.

WebRTC standards provide a means for ensuring complete call security. When making calls over the public internet it is important to ensure that the call is secure or else someone other than the intended peer could easily eavesdrop on the call. It is even possible to alter the call if it is not properly secured. In order to provide complete call secrecy it is necessary to encrypt both the signaling and media channels. WebRTC provides security in the signaling channel using the WebSockets protocol over a Transport Layer Security (TLS) secured connection. This protocol begins by creating a secure TLS connection to a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server and beginning the WebSocket handshake. During the TLS establishment the client will ask the server for its certificate which the client will then verify against a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). The CA’s pubic certificate will be able to verify if the server’s certificate was indeed signed by the CA’s private key. The CA’s signing of the server’s certificate indicates that the CA trusts the identity of the server and therefore the client can also trust them. This is referred to as the chain of trust. After the certificate verification takes place the client can be confident that the server is not an imposter trying to intercept the call and can continue with the establishment of a secure connection. Security in the media layer is done using the Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) which encrypts the media before sending it to the peer. WebRTC defines Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) as a key establishment method for SRTP. DTLS has a similar handshake to that of TLS where peers send certificates to each other. As part of the DTLS-SRTP handshake the endpoints will send a cryptographic fingerprint of their certificates over the signaling layer that has already been secured. These fingerprints can be used along with the peer’s certificate to verify that the peer in the signaling layer is the same as the peer in the media layer. This ensures that there are no devices in the media layer attempting a man in the middle attack to eavesdrop on the media of the call. The combination of these security technologies ensures that the WebRTC call remains secure throughout every layer.

Besides fish, plants are the next main part of an aquarium. But, there are so many of them and there are so many variations, things to consider and possible mistakes. For example, if you use a type of plants that don’t have to be placed in a strong lighting will have a negative effect. They will produce a high amount of algae, which is something you should avoid, definitely. Luckily for you, here are some plants for freshwater aquariums that are just perfect. These plants spread rather than grow. They will soon cover the entire floor of an aquarium and they will make it look awesome. Of all freshwater aquarium plants, these are the most popular ones. Having an aquarium without this plant almost isn’t an option. It grows on rocks and on driftwood, it is low maintenance and it can withstand all kinds of lighting. Although it will grow the fastest at 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit temperature, it can withstand a higher one, up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The last, but not least, this plant offers protection to baby fish and a secondary food source for them. Lilaeopsis looks like grass and correspondingly, it will have to be pruned, but only if it threatens other plants. We like it because it grows fast and it provides a great hiding place for baby fish. The medium lighting is a must, and the preferred temperature is between 74 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. And yes, they will cover the entire floor. These plants are completely opposite than carpet plants. They grow in height, rather than spreading across the floor. They also provide a perfect hiding place for large fish. Amazon Sword has the shape of a sword, so it got the corresponding name. It can grow up to 20 inches, so it is adequate for taller tanks. The temperatures it can withstand are between 72 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that it requires moderate lighting. This plant will provide the ultimate hiding place for your fish. It grows in dark places and it provides a great protection for large fish. The temperatures it can withstand are in a range between 68 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As we already mentioned, it requires low lighting, but it is also a low-maintenance plant. Java Fern is a very popular plant. It is low-maintenance as well and it looks gorgeous. However, it requires low or medium lighting and it will be the happiest plant if you keep it away from the strong light. The temperature range it can withstand is between 62 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. In short words, we prefer natural plants. They offer better protection, they look much better and they can be used as a food source. Artificial plants don’t offer any of these benefits. They are made from plastic!

Teeth can be damaged in many ways. Chips, cracks and breaks can occur as the result of sporting injury, motor vehicle accidents or from any other kind of head trauma. Broken teeth can be very painful and also expose the sensitive inside parts of the tooth to the risk of infection and disease. Teeth can also be damaged by dental decay and enamel erosion. This again leaves them vulnerable to attack from disease, which could eventually lead to tooth loss. When teeth are damaged in this way it is necessary to protect them from further injury and also to restore the cosmetic appearance. One of the oldest and most effective ways of protecting teeth is to fit a dental crown over the top. A dental crown is a ceramic or metal and ceramic cap that is designed to fit over the damaged tooth, covering all parts of the tooth above the gum line to act as a barrier to further damage. A dentist will first need to remove some of the existing enamel so that the crown can fit comfortably over the top. The crown, which will have been made in laboratory conditions to be the same size and shape as the original tooth, will then be cemented over the top using composite bonding. Crowns are made from metal and ceramic as these are very versatile and strong materials. Ceramics such as porcelain also have a very similar appearance to tooth enamel, giving an improved aesthetic appearance. Once firmly in place the crown will perform all the functions of the original tooth.Crowns are also used after certain dental surgeries and treatments to add a dimension of protection to the teeth. Dental crowns are commonly manufactured from porcelain, a type of ceramic with a similar consistency and appearance to tooth enamel. Modern crowns are increasingly fabricated using the latest computer-aided technology.CEREC technology now have revolutionized dental restorations.CEREC is a state-of-the-art dental restoration product that has allowed dentists to use computer-aided technology to produce ceramic inlays and crowns. Utilizing new technologies such as 3D imaging, digital x-rays and CAD/CAM, CEREC has allowed teeth restorations to be carried out in only a single visit to a dentist rather than taking several appointments.CEREC works by creating a digital three-dimensional image of the patient’s mouth that can be stored on a computer. CEREC technology also limits the need for enamel removal because of the increased degrees of accuracy involved using computer-guided technology. CEREC is most commonly used to manufacture dental crowns and filling inlays to repair teeth that have been damaged by dental trauma or tooth decay. The ceramic restorations are firmly secured to the teeth with composite resin bonding creating a solid and resilient shield against any further damage to the damaged tooth.Dental crowns are very versatile and useful dental tools that can prevent the need for further treatment. Patients with damaged teeth should make an appointment with a dentist to discuss the benefits of dental crowns. A knocked out, or avulsed tooth as it is known in the dentistry profession, can be caused by any kind of accident but the most common involve sports injuries, car accidents, fighting and chewing on hard food. A knocked out tooth can be quite serious so dentists advise that prevention is always better than cure. When playing sports, especially physically demanding ones, it is important to wear a mouth guard. They may be uncomfortable and make it difficult to talk but these are minor considerations compared to the pain and lifetime of embarrassment a knocked out tooth can cause. Always wear a seatbelt when traveling in a car, avoid eating hard foods such as bones and, needless to say, don’t get involve in any fights. If you are unfortunate enough to have a tooth knocked out, then the first thing to do is to try and replace it immediately. Being careful not to touch the tooth by its root i.e holding the biting edge, simply put it back in its place. With any luck it will slot right back in and can be held in place gently by wet gauze or a tea bag. Do not apply significant pressure or attempt to force it if it won’t go. If the tooth won’t slot back in, the next best thing is to keep it in an air tight container and cover it with milk or saliva. This may preserve it long enough to save it and have it replaced.The most optimum storage media that are available have been shown to be pH balanced cell preserving solutions. The best known and most extensively tested is called Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS). It has all of the metabolites such as Ca, P04, K+ and glucose that are necessary to maintain normal cell metabolism for long periods of time. HBSS has been extensively tested in dental and medical research for the past twenty years. This research has shown that 90% of cells stored in HBSS for 24 hours maintain their normal viability and after four days, still have 70%viable. It is important you always see a dentist immediately when you have a tooth knocked out or fractured. Your dentist will be on hand to help in an emergency and will do all they can to save the original tooth. If this is not possible they will be able to offer the best advice about the next course of action, which is likely to involve a dental bridge.

We're back with another edition of 'Design in 9' -- our series on the d.school fellows and their response to five questions around their experience. Since we've started the series, we've accumulated the songs, as promised, in a playlist on Spotify. We will continue to add to this as we publish the remaining pieces in the series. 1. What is the most important thing you have learned about design thinking? Prototype to learn. Never stop prototyping. My motto is BAB (be always in beta). 2. What is your favorite song to play when leading a design workshop? 3. What is the best way you have found to achieve flow in your work? If i need to deliver: Start with a deadline. 4. What is your top tip for empathy interviewing ? Start with a joke, and find the right moment to share a very personal story. 5. What is the hardest part of the design-thinking process? Make sense of scattered data (define).

This part will teach you, how to compare values and control the flow of your program. It will also teach you, how to repeat a part of your program for a defined number of times, which is very useful for tasks like processing user input or printing out data. This is a very long article. I didn’t plan to make it this long, but I ended up writing a lot about this topic. I recommend you to split it into half after the ‘Large choices’ section and take a break. However, let’s get started! So far you’ve learnt what methods and variables are and how to use them. In the case of variables you have also seen, how to get a user’s input and store it. If you want to store multiple inputs of the same type, for example numbers for a calculator, you’ll have to create different variables for each input, right?

The problems with making estimates about an illegal crop are immense. Analysts must estimate first total production in various areas of the world, and then estimate how much of that production is bound for the U.S. market. Brazil, for example, grows a lot of marijuana for domestic consumption and export to Argentina (entirely illegal, of course). Presumably most if not all of the marijuana grown in Columbia, Mexico, Jamaica, and Belize is intended for the U.S. market. Marijuana grown in Thailand and other South Asia and Pacific locations is sent to Australia, but considerable quantities reach the U.S. International marijuana production is reviewed annually by the U.S. Department of State. (15) Canada, for example, also has marijuana consumers, many of whom ultimately receive theirs from the same overseas suppliers as the U.S. Finally, a considerable amount of marijuana is grown in the United States, for consumption in the United States. It is difficult to estimate how much because of the tremendous decentralization of the domestic cultivation market. According to NNICC, on average 39 million pounds of marijuana is available for sale in the United States annually. According to the National Household Survey, there are less than 20 million marijuana smokers in the United States. If one is to believe them both, than the average marijuana smoker consumes 2 pounds annually. That is unrealistic. Either a considerable amount of foreign produced marijuana does not make it to the United States, or there are considerably more marijuana users in the U.S. than estimated by the National Household Survey, or both. The production figures for Mexico are volatile. Early in the 1980’s the U.S. had no idea how much marijuana was actually being grown in Mexico, and in the mid 1980’s U.S. pressure was on Colombia to reduce marijuana cultivation. Table 8. Net Marijuana Available for Sale to the United States, by source country, in millions of pounds. + In 1989 DEA realized that Mexico had a lot more marijuana growing than was previously believed. The increase over 1988 reflects more accurate analysis rather than an increase in Mexican cultivation. Source: NNICC 1988, 1990, 1991, & 1993. In 1986 the U.S. and Mexican police discovered a network of several farms which produced 8 times more marijuana than was estimated for the entire country. (16) When the U.S. began to focus on reducing Mexican marijuana cultivation in the early 1990’s, the Colombian marijuana crop began to increase in production. There are few studies on actual marijuana consumption by U.S. citizens, however an estimate of one pound per person per year should be considered generous. By this standard, the 18 million users estimated by the NHS can’t account for all the available marijuana. Deciding what happened to the millions of pounds of marijuana unaccounted for in the NNICC estimate can be a fanciful game; how much was diverted to other markets, how much was consumed by uncounted U.S. consumers? Marijuana is a multi-billion dollar international commodity whose staying power is augmented by diverse demand within the United States and diverse competition around the world to respond to economic buying power of the U.S. marijuana consumers. If U.S. marijuana consumption was limited to 20 million pounds consumed by 20 million people, at $1000 per pound (a conservative price), the U.S. marijuana market is worth $20 billion dollars. This is a very conservative estimate. Marijuana is a very large international market.

First, I started with sorting the array. I took 0th index as a pointer. I had the second pointer as 1st index. I incremented second pointer and tried to find out if the difference between values at the pointers is greater than 1. If this was the case I count the number between two pointers. Then I incremented first pointer and repeated the process. I tried to find the greatest count of elements between pointers.

Families may feel a range of emotions after the diagnosis of a genetic condition. You may feel afraid of what is going to happen next. Or, you may have a sense of relief from learning what the cause of a medical problem is. Get your long-term support structure in place. This might include family, friends, support groups, medical professionals, or others. Identify your "medical home." This is the healthcare provider that will be the center of your medical team. The role of the medical home is to make sure that all healthcare team members have the same information and that you receive all necessary care. In many cases, your primary care provider will be the center of your healthcare team. For genetic conditions, sometimes a medical geneticist will act as the medical home or main coordinator of your care. Talk to specialists. Your healthcare provider can give you a referral to other professionals who have special knowledge about your condition, or a part of your condition. You may need to see different specialists at different times throughout your life. Think about insurance and financial planning. Some people worry about the added healthcare costs that may come with a diagnosis of a genetic condition. There are many resources that can help you along the way. Continue to learn about the condition. After living with a genetic condition for a while, you will soon become an expert. Never stop learning about your condition. This is the best way to be your own advocate. No one likes to think about the possibility of an emergency situation, but it is important to be prepared. Often emergency situations occur so quickly that it is difficult to think through the scenario and clearly communicate the information that medical providers need to know. One helpful tool is to create a wallet-size card with condition-specific information and guidelines that you or a family member can carry around and hand to medical professionals during a time of crisis. Some advocacy organizations may have already created something similar that can be used, so make sure to check with them about their specific emergency preparedness recommendations.

Bronson Road connects 185th Avenue with Bethany Boulevard. There are no paved shoulders on Bronson Road between 185th and 174th avenues. This project will add bicycle lanes on both sides of the road to provide bicycle access from 185th Avenue to Bethany Boulevard and to the Waterhouse Trail. The project will also replace a 90-year-old culvert that runs under 174th Avenue. The existing road is 20-feet wide at the culvert and has a substandard guardrail. The new, wider culvert will allow for 5-foot paved shoulders. A new guardrail and other safety improvements will also be installed. Bronson Road project is funded through the Gain Share Program. 174th Avenue Culvert Replacement project is funded through the Road Fund as part of the Annual Maintenance Plan.

Ron Garamendi at Contri Construction Co. came back 15 years after stamping the exterior concrete at the Monte Carlo Resort & Casino to restore the surface to its original beauty. Originally stamped by Ron Garamendi of Vegas-based Contri Construction Co., the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino features roughly 30,000 square feet of textured concrete flatwork surrounding the exterior of the building. Over its lifetime, other contractors had applied a myriad of both colored and clear coatings to the surface, and they were starting to peel. Wanting to restore the area to coincide with the 2009 opening of the nearby CityCenter complex, the Monte Carlo contacted Garamendi to see if he could return the concrete to its original beauty. With the help of Concrete Accessories Inc., another Las Vegas outfit, Garamendi was able to come up with the perfect solution. After the hotel signed off on a 10-foot by 10-foot test section, it was time to start work. To begin the restoration process, Garamendi first had to remove layers of sealer through sandblasting. With the original work exposed, it was time to revitalize the original colors. He applied Proline Concrete Tools’ EZ-Tique, a water-based antiquing wash, in Java and Black colors. The area was then sealed with Arizona Polymer Flooring’s Polyurethane 250. Unfortunately for Garamendi, the Monte Carlo wanted to keep the area open to tourists and pedestrians as much as possible, so he had to complete the process in phases. The workers would have to do the work inside a tent between 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. to be as unobtrusive as possible. They had to be finished with work each week before the area was opened to weekend visitors. In all, the project took six weeks to complete.

Obese women run a greater risk of repeat miscarriages and should be warned to lose weight before they try and become pregnant again, according to a new study. Researchers at St Mary's Hospital in London found obese women who had suffered one miscarriage had a significantly increased risk of a further miscarriage compared to those who were of a normal weight. The 11-year study investigated the effect of body mass index (BMI) on unexplained recurrent miscarriages. The women had their BMI measured and were placed into one of four categories: underweight; normal; overweight; and obese. I think that it is great that they are going to try counselling obese women into weight loss before they fall pregnant. It is not only a risk for miscarriage but is bad for their health.

As we approach World Oceans Day, which is a time to celebrate our oceans and conservation, it is important to know that what we take out of our oceans is just as important as what we are preventing from going into them. Keeping our oceans healthy can be as simple as the choice we make on the menu at our favorite seafood restaurant. By making sustainable seafood choices, we can protect endangered fish populations, thus helping them rebuild and protect the future of our oceans. Sustainable seafood is defined as seafood that is either caught or farmed in ways that consider the long-term vitality of harvested species and the well-being of the oceans, as well as the livelihoods of the fisheries dependent communities, according to Wikipedia. Over-fishing and the over-consumption of certain fish species are a huge cause of the decline of wild fish populations. Halibut and yellowtail flounder have been on the IUCN red list for many years. The cod has shown little evidence of recovery after more than 20 years and the bluefin tuna is now at 4% of its original size and the decline will go on. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council one-third of global fish populations are overexploited and dangerously depleted due to overfishing. Meanwhile, "mercury levels in fish are extremely high-and getting higher-due in large part to all the coal we burn". The worst fish choices you can make include the abalone, cod, bluefin tuna, spiny lobster, orange roughy and shark. Shark fin soup is a huge delicacy at many restaurants, but millions of sharks are killed each year just for their fins. By being a conscious consumer and avoiding these fish, the demand will go down and the fish populations will have the chance to rebuild themelves. The type of fishing gear used can also effect the fish populations, as dredges and trawls can scrape across the seafloor and destroy the entire area, much like clear-cutting a forest. Choosing farmed fish can be a good choice, as long as the practices of the fish being farmed are sustainable. When good fish farming practices are used, it is possible to farm fish with very little impact on the environment. True sustainable operations minimize environmental impacts like pollution, disease and other damage to coastal ecosystems on which wild species depend. They also avoid using wild-caught fish as feed; a practice that puts enormous additional stress on wild fish stocks. The future of our oceans is in our hands and together we can help fish populations thrive and be around for generations to come.

Arizona has attempted to attract technology companies to the state from California by creating an anti-regulatory environment for self-driving car technology. The state has allowed companies to test their autonomous vehicles on the state’s highways. This has led to several companies testing their vehicles in Arizona. Uber has been using its self-driving vehicles on the roads in Arizona. On March 18, a self-driving Uber Volvo XC90 struck and killed a 49-year-old woman in Tempe, Arizona. The woman was reportedly walking her bicycle across the street when she was struck by the Uber. The vehicle was reportedly traveling at 40 mph and failed to slow when it struck the woman. There was a human operator sitting behind the steering wheel so that he or she could take over in the case of an emergency. While it is too soon to determine whether the vehicle or the pedestrian was at fault in the Arizona case, the case does raise some potential issues of liability. If the vehicle is found to have been at fault, it is possible that the manufacturer could be held to be liable under theories of strict products liability or negligence. If an accident happened in California involving an autonomous vehicle that killed someone, it is possible that the victim’s family could hold the manufacturer or designer of the vehicle liable under a theory of strict products liability. In products liability cases, it may sometimes be difficult to show that the companies were negligent. However, if a defect in the design or manufacture of the product caused an injury, the company may be strictly liable. In order to prove strict products liability in California, plaintiffs must be able to prove that he or she was harmed by a product that was defectively designed, had manufacturing defects or had insufficient warnings about the dangers it presented. The design defect of the product was a substantial factor in causing the harm. The disadvantages of choosing alternative designs. This would require an analysis by the jury of whether or not there was a different design that could have been used by Uber and that was a feasible one to use. Uber could also be liable under a theory of negligence for a wrongful death accident that occurs between one of its self-driving vehicles and another person or vehicle. In order to prove negligence, a plaintiff would need to prove that Uber designed or manufactured the vehicle and was negligent in its design or manufacture of it. The plaintiff would then need to prove that he or she was harmed, and Uber’s negligence was a direct or proximate cause of the harm that the plaintiff suffered. Claims that may be filed against Uber or one of the other manufacturers of autonomous vehicles would likely include both theories of negligence and of strict products liability. As the technology continues to be developed, it will be important for the state and federal governments to address potential liability and insurance issues with new regulations and laws. If you are injured in an accident involving an autonomous vehicle in which the vehicle was at fault, it is best for you to get help from an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles. Determining the appropriate parties to name as defendants to the lawsuit and the proper claims to file may be complex. Contact the law office of Steven M. Sweat APC to schedule your consultation.

High Point is a small city located at the state of North Carolina along its Piedmont Triad region. Most potion of the said city is included in the Guilford County while other parts of it scatters to the nearby counties namely Randolph, Davidson and Forsyth. During the year 2010, the estimated population count for the city was around 104,000, which gradually increased during the year 2014 to an estimate of 108,000. This city holds the rank of being the ninth on the largest municipalities in all of North Carolina and is in over the 200 on the list of the largest cities in the United States. Moreover, High Point is known for three main things; furniture, textiles and bus manufacturing. Because of this, the city is also known for being the “Home Furnishings Capital of the World” or for the city’s slogan as “North Carolina’s International City” because of its twice a year furniture market that is known to attract at least 100,000 businesses and buyers from all over the world. The climate in High Point, North Carolina isn’t necessarily cold but is actually much warmer and humid compared to the other states nearby.

"An Inexpensive Retrofit Technology for Reducing Peak Power Demand in S" by James Nutaro, Teja Kuruganti et al. This article describes a low cost retrofit technology that uses collective control of multiple rooftop air conditioning units to reduce the peak power consumption of small and medium commercial buildings. This retrofit technology uses a model predictive control to select an operating schedule for the air conditioning units that maintains a temperature set point subject to a constraint on the number of units that may operate simultaneously. A proto-type of this new control system was built and deployed in a large gymnasium to coordinate four rooftop air conditioning units. Based on data collected while operating this proto-type, we estimate that the cost savings achieved by reducing peak power consumption is sufficient to repay the cost of the proto-type within a year. Moreover, it is possible to reduce the cost of this proto-type technology by a factor of at least six and thereby create a retrofit package that pays for itself within two months of operation. The effectiveness of the control in this demonstration strongly suggests that widespread deployment of the proposed technology could significantly reduce peak demand originating with small and medium buildings. Over 27% of the energy used by most small and medium sized commercial building is dedicated to air conditioning units, and most of these units continue to rely on simple, uncoordinated controls that independently maintain the temperature for their assigned sections within the building. One consequence of this uncoordinated control is that in the peak heating and cooling seasons it is almost certain that all of the air conditioning units within a building will operate at the same time. This causes large peaks in the power used for temperature control, and these peaks can be significantly reduced by the proposed retrofit technology. This reduction in peak demand benefits the utility company by reducing the need for expensive peaking plants and their associated infrastructure, and it benefits the building owner by reducing electricity costs. These advantages and the short payoff period suggest a significant commercial potential for the proposed control technology.

Algeria has been accused of abandoning migrants in the Sahara Desert, a development the UN has warned could trigger another crisis. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has said that it has been forced to take in and handle some 10,000 migrants who were left to die in the desert since September. The situation is likely to create a humanitarian crisis along the Niger border. Many of the migrants were abandoned by traffickers and a significant number deported by Algerian authorities. These migrants have to endure harsh conditions in the desert hoping to reach the nearest border town. Many who are unable to endure the heat die in the process. Giuseppe Loprete, IOM’s chief of mission in Niger, told the BBC’s Newsday that Algeria had defended its actions as necessary to prevent insecurity and terrorism, adding it did not want anybody to cross the border without knowing who they are.

You spend all spring, summer and fall making sure your landscape looks perfect. So when winter arrives, you can finally take a break, right? Well - kind of. It's true that you don't have to do a lot of upkeep in the winter, but there are steps you need to take to make sure your plants survive the winter and come back stronger than ever in the spring. We'll break it down by plant type to help you out. Perennials come back every year making them the most popular type of flowers in Northeast Ohio. They require very little pre-winter-prep as they hibernate until spring and wake up brighter than ever. To prep your perennial flowers for winter simply cut them back and add some more mulch around the roots to protect them from the cold. Annual flowers and plants are not resilient enough to stand up to Ohio winters. That said—you can do a few things to make sure the annuals you plant next spring are strong and beautiful. We tend to think of trees and shrubs and tough and able to survive the winter without aid. However, some younger plants need a little love prior to the first snow. Winter weather can be tough on plants, but most Ohio flowers, trees and shrubs can survive with a little bit of care. Need help winterizing your landscape? Contact the experts at Grass Master.

Alimony, or spousal support, is a financial payment that is made from a higher earning spouse or former spouse to a lower earning or non-earning spouse or former spouse in order to maintain that spouse at the financial level they were at prior to separation or divorce. A Fairfax alimony attorney experienced in family law will best be able to assist anyone in determining alimony. Unlike child support, there is no specific and strict rule the court has to follow in terms of determining whether support should be paid and how much. Consult a Fairfax family law attorney, who has experienced litigating alimony cases and will provide you a better opportunity to make the best case possible to the court regarding their spousal support case. Temporary alimony or spousal support is traditionally determined based on a formula that takes a portion of the higher earning spouses income and a portion of the lower earning spouses income to determine what the temporary support amount should be. When it comes to permanent support, support that is going to be paid after a divorce is final, the court is required to consider a number of factors, but the primary two factors that the court is going to examine are the ability of the higher-earning spouse to pay, and the financial need of the lower earning spouse. A lot of times lawyers start with at the ability to pay as a payor and the financial need of the payee. There are other factors that are set out in the law that the court is required to consider that a Fairfax alimony lawyer will consider, as well. For example, the Virginia court is required to consider the lifestyle that the parties became accustomed to during marriage, the ability of the party requesting salvage report to work, the health of both parties, and various other factors that are outlined in Virginia law. In most cases, alimony is modifiable upon a change in circumstances, with a material change in circumstances that impacts the finances of those respective parties. A Fairfax alimony attorney will be helpful in these instances of modification. The most common situations in which a person is able to stop making alimony payments are when the recipient of support remarries and when the payor of support loses their job or has a decrease in income as a result of something out of their hands. The importance of a lawyer in a case like this is that there is no concrete rule or calculation for determining what permanent spousal support should be. For example, for child support, there is a calculation that has been created by the Virginia legislator that courts are required to use. That does not exist for spousal support. As a result, it is important for a person who could be paying or receiving spousal support to have an alimony attorney in Fairfax who has experience with the court. Because a lawyer who has experience in spousal support cases in Virginia has a good perspective on what many judges will consider, that lawyer can be useful in looking at the facts that exist in a person’s particular case and in applying them in the best way that is most advantageous to the clients to present to the court when litigating an alimony case. Because there is no concrete formula for spousal support, a Virginia alimony attorney’s spousal support experience is going to be a particularly knowledgeable position in this area of law.

Some of the state’s highest water officials are also its biggest water wasters, according to a new report from the Center for Investigative Reporting.

We hear from one of the reporters who co-wrote the story.

Heat sinks are a vital component of modern manufacturing and are used in a variety of products such as smartphones, computers, LED lights, refrigerators, and power resistors. In its most general definition, a heat sink is any object used to transfer heat away from a heat-generating component. There are many types of heat sinks, including active heat sinks such as fans and passive heat sinks such as extruded aluminum heat sink manufacturing. Active heat sinks can offer more powerful cooling capabilities, while passive heat sinks are more reliable due to their lack of mechanical parts. There are many different kinds of heat sinks in these broad categories. Two of the most common heat sinks are finned extruded profiles and heat pipes. But what is the difference between these two thermal management solutions? The most basic form of heat sink is a metal structure with several flat fins that air can flow through. The most important aspect of an extruded profile heat sink is the conductivity of the material and the surface area. Copper and extruded aluminum heat sink manufacturing are the most common due to their high conductivity. Heat sink extrusions manufacturers achieve greater surface area through efficient fin design. A heat pipe is a more complicated form of passive heat sink that uses evaporation and condensation to transfer heat from an object. Heat pipes are a particularly effective form of heat sink, with a conductivity range of 10,000 to nearly 100,000 W/mK. They are often used alongside aluminum extrusion heat sinks. Aluminum heat pipe design and technology can accommodate several different temperature ranges and thermal conductivity ranges. Do You Need a Custom Heat Sink Company for Your Thermal Management Solutions? Heat pipe/heatsink aluminum services company Getec Industrial is one of the top aluminum heat pipe manufacturers in North America.

This is the most common breathing problem in premature infants. The earlier the delivery, the greater the risk of RDS. This condition is caused by an insufficient amount of surfactant, a foamy, fluid substance produced by the lungs between the 34th and 36th week of pregnancy. Surfactant lubricates the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) and allowing them expand without over-stretching and to get smaller without collapsing. This rhythm of expansion and contraction is what moves the air into and out of the lungs. RDS can range from mild to severe. Chest X-ray shows the structures of the heart and lungs and can help determine whether your child has RDS. It also can detect other problems, such as a collapsed lung, that may require urgent treatment. Blood tests show if there's enough oxygen in an infant's blood. They can also determine if an infection is the root cause of a baby's breathing problems. Echocardiography uses sound waves to take a moving picture of the heart and find out if a defect in this organ is the cause of an infant's breathing problems. Mild cases often respond to breathing support with nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nasal-CPAP). Some extra oxygen may be added as well. In more severe cases, infants may need a breathing tube and for a time, some may be connected to a breathing machine. An artificial surfactant can also be placed in the baby’s lungs through the breathing tube. This helps the lungs expand and move the air with greater ease. RDS usually starts to improve by the third or fourth day of life.

Puffy Cheese Noodles, a festive foods rewind - Our Sunday Cafe, the Retirement Edition! This recipe originally shared November 2, 2008. 1/4 t salt Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl, combine the egg and milk in another. Beat the egg and milk together until well mixed. Dump the dry ingredients into the wet, use a fork and combine well. This is a stiff dough against the fork. Do not add any additional liquid. You may need to use your hands to work all the dry ingredients into the dough. Roll the dough out into a (roughly) 12X12 shape. This size keeps the thickness of the noodle correct. Sprinkle with a bit more flour and rub gently over the surface. This is an important step; although the dough feels stiff, it has a lot of moisture. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll and cut into 1/4 inch slices. When ready to cook, bring a large pan of water to boil, add 1 T salt to the water. Boil uncovered for 8 - 10 minutes. Drain and serve. You can multiply the recipe, just remember to take one recipe portion to roll at a time. That way the thickness will be correct. Saute the garlic in 1 T of the butter until golden and soft. Remove from pan and set aside. Add remaining butter and gently brown the butter over a low heat. Remove pan from heat, return the sauteed garlic (and with the butter it was sauteed in) and the parsley. Combine and toss with the drained noodles. Sprinkle with additional cheese and serve.

Explanation: The largest sunspot group of the past ten years crossed the surface of the Sun late last month and early this month. The group was designated Active Region 9393 as it was the 9393rd region identified since counting officially began in 1973. The number of active regions on the Sun is high recently because the Sun is reaching the maximum of its current 11-year cycle of magnetic activity. The above time-lapse sequence shows AR 9393 as it evolved from 27 March to April 2 to become over 10 times larger than our Earth. Just after the end of the movie, on April 2, AR 9393 unleashed the largest solar flare of the last 25 years. Luckily, the flare was not pointed toward the Earth, or flare particles might have damaged satellites or even caused local electrical blackouts. Yesterday morning, however, a less powerful flare was ejected from a different sunspot group (AR 9415) toward Earth that has already caused radio interference. This and solar activity from Monday should cause significant aurorae over the next two nights. Will the above sunspot group remain as its region rotates back into view in a few days, or will it break up on the far side of the Sun? Currently, no one knows for sure.

In this topic, we will see how Filipinos fighting for their hunger. We can see that there are so many people who starve to death, and the government didn’t do anything about this problem. I hate how the government didn’t do anything to solve this problem. There are many Filipinos who begging for food for them to live. My opinion here is we should help the others, if we help the others we can save a life. Starvation is not a joke we we’re talking about million lives here. The government should take an action to this issue. There are so many cases that people die because of the hunger or starvation, they die because they can’t do anything to stop their hunger, they just wait for someone to give them a food. So my opinion here is let’s stop this problem now let’s push the government to do something in this problem. If they can’t do anything then let’s encourage other people to help the people who’s in need. If the government can’t help them, I guess it’s time to help the other people for them to have a longer life. The main problem here is the government didn’t do anything to solve this problem. Many Filipinos died because of hunger or you can call it starvation. The rate of starvation in our country is increasing every year and every year the number of deaths in our country is increasing as well, it is all because of the starvation. I guess we are all aware that our country is rich in street people or you can call it as a homeless people, they are the one who experienced this problem, they can’t do anything because they don’t have any job or any money to buy their foods. We can help the by giving them a food or at least a small amount of money. In this way, we can help the others in a simple way. The problem here is why the government didn’t do anything to solve this problem, they didn’t do anything to save the others life. The fact that the government didn’t do anything, we should help the one who’s in need. If we have extra food or extra money we should give it to the people who can’t afford to buy foods. We can always start a feeding program for the hungry people. I think there are many feeding program in our country.In this way we can help others, we can save the others by giving them a food or a money. There are many ways to help the people who’s in need. If the government can’t take any action to this then I guess it’s time for us to make a move. We can help by starting a feeding program, giving a small amount of food and money to the people who’s in need. We can help others in a small way if we want to I think it’s time to help and care for the other people. Always remember that sharing is caring.

A LULA elevator is a limited use/limited application hybrid that combines features of a commercial elevator and a wheelchair lift. It is designed to be used only in a low-rise commercial building, not a home. A LULA takes up only about half the space of a traditional elevator, with an area of just 18 square feet. It is designed to be used in a small building that does not have enough space for a conventional elevator. A LULA is just big enough to fit a wheelchair. It is intended to be used by only one handicapped individual at a time. It is not meant to be used by the general public. A LULA requires only 14 inches for a pit and 102 inches of overhead space for an existing building or 134 inches for a new construction. It can travel up to 25 feet at a speed of up to 30 feet per minute. A LULA can transport up to 1,400 pounds. If you need to improve accessibility at home for yourself or a family member, you have other elevator choices. Home elevators are available in a variety of designs with many optional features. You can choose from cable-driven, hydraulic, and pneumatic vacuum elevators in an array of sizes. Some are large enough to accommodate a wheelchair or multiple passengers. Residential elevators can also be customized with many decorative features. If you need to improve mobility at home, you have many options available. However, if you need to increase accessibility for handicapped people who work at or visit your business, a LULA could be the solution you need.
