Noel Gallo, an organ builder who designed a new organ at Xewkija parish church and Paolo Oreni, an international organist from Italy, gave a two-hour masterclass to organists and other musicians at the church. They also briefed pianists on the basics of organ performance and gave demonstrations on how organs are made and how they work. At the end of the session Oreni and Sara Musumeci also performed music by Bach, Liszt and Reubke on the same organ. This was part of a series of concerts and masterclasses given by Gallo, Oreni and Musumeci in Malta and Gozo to encourage people explore the beauty of this instrument. Picture shows Gallo playing the organ watched by Musumeci and Oreni.

Any speed over the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 m/s, 1,087 ft/s, 761 mph or 1,225 km/h in air at sea level, is said to be supersonic. Speeds greater than 5 times the speed of sound are sometimes referred to as hypersonic. Sound can be considered simply as a plane pressure disturbance in an elastic medium. As such sound will travel at different speeds in different mediums, mostly depending on the molecular mass and temperature of the medium in which the sound propagates; pressure has a very much smaller effect. Since air temperature and composition varies significantly with altitude, supersonic speeds for aircraft are given at sea level. In water at room temperature supersonic can be considered as any speed greater than 1,440 m/s or 4,724 ft/s. Many modern fighter aircraft are supersonic. The Concorde and Tupolev Tu-144 were supersonic passenger aircraft. But, since Concorde's final retirement flight on November 26 2003, there are no supersonic passenger aircraft left in service. Most modern firearm munitions are supersonic, with rifle projectile often travelling at speeds approaching Mach 3. In 1942 the United Kingdom's Ministry of Aviation began a top secret project with the Miles Aircraft to develop the world's first aircraft capable of breaking the sound barrier. The project resulted in the development of the prototype Miles M.52 aircraft, which was designed to reach 1000 mph (1600 km/h) at 36,000 feet (11 km) in 1 minute 30 seconds. The aircraft's design was revolutionary introducing many innovations which are still used on today's supersonic aircraft. The single most important development was the all-moving tailplane which allowed control to be maintained at supersonic speeds; this was the brainchild of Dennis Bancroft and his team at Miles Research. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled by the Director of Scientific Research, Sir Ben Lockspeiser, before any manned fights were conducted. Subsequently, on government orders, all design data and research regarding the Miles M.52 was sent to BELL aircraft in the USA. There was supposed to be data exchange in both directions, but allegedly, after receiving the British data, the American government blocked the deal. Later experimentation on the Miles M.52 design proved that the aircraft would indeed have broken the sound barrier, with an unmanned 3/10 scale replica of the M.52 achieving Mach 1.5 in October 1948. Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier in level flight on October 14 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 feet (13.7 km). A team led by Richard Noble and driver Andy Green became the first to break the sound barrier in a land vehicle, called the Thrust SuperSonicCar, on October 15 1997, almost exactly 50 years after Yeager's flight. Hans Guido Mutke claimed to have broken the sound barrier before Yeager, on April 9 1945 in a Messerschmitt Me 262. However, this claim is disputed by most experts and lacks a scientific foundation. Supersonic aerodynamics are simpler than subsonic ones because the airsheets at different points along the plane doesn't know of each other. Subsonic air anticipates an airplane or an airfoil, supersonic air just jams into the shock-wave. One can gently guide air around the fuselage of the aircraft without producing new shockwave, but any change in cross area further down the vehicle leads to shock waves along the body. It should be kept in mind, however, that the aerodynamic principles behind a supersonic aircraft are often more complex than described above due to the fact that such an aircraft must be efficient and stable at both supersonic, transonic and subsonic flight.

Boron nitride is a synthetic material that's available in several forms, including powder, solid, liquid, and aerosol spray. Most types of glass will not stick to boron nitride; as a result, the liquid and aerosol forms can be used in kiln-forming as a release on slumping molds. Although boron nitride is much more expensive than kiln wash, it does have several advantages. Applied correctly, it is smoother than kiln wash. It's also less dusty, and may be less likely to mark the slumped glass than kiln wash. It can be used on both stainless steel and clay molds, but most formulations of boron nitride are not suitable for use on the kiln shelf. Depending on the quality and purity, liquid boron nitride may be used as is or diluted with distilled water. It works best when diluted to the consistency of whole milk. Boron nitride aerosol sprays can be used straight out of the can, and no mixing or diluting is necessary. In general, boron nitride is rated for kiln use only to around 1550F/840C. Some varieties of the product will claim higher rated temperatures, but usually this refers to the product's use in a reducing atmosphere, rather than in the oxidizing atmosphere typical of most kilns. Tomorrow's tip will contain specific information about using boron nitride on slumping molds.

"ESET researchers have been tracking the TDL4 botnet for a long time, and now we have noticed a new phase in its evolution," announced David Harley, the company's director of malware intelligence. "Based on the analysis of its components we can say that some of those components have been rewritten from scratch (kernel-mode driver, user-mode payload) while some (specifically, some bootkit components) remain the same as in the previous versions," he noted. TDL, also known as TDSS, is a family of rootkits characterised by complex and innovative detection evasion techniques. Back in July, malware analysts from Kaspersky Lab called TDL version 4 the most sophisticated threat in the world and estimated that the number of computers infected with it exceeds 4.5 million. However, according to ESET's researchers, changes are now being made to the way TDL4 infects systems and ensures its hold on them. Instead of storing components within the MBR, the new variants create a hidden partition at the end of the hard disk and set it as active. This ensures that malicious code stored on it, including a special boot loader, gets executed before the actual operating system, and that the MBR code checked by antivirus programs for unauthorised modifications remains untouched. "The malware is able to detect corruption of the files stored in the hidden file system by calculating its CRC32 checksum and comparing it with the value stored in the file header. In the event that a file is corrupted it is removed from the file system," the ESET researchers explain. In April, Microsoft released a Windows update that modified systems to disrupt the TDL4 infection cycle. The rootkit's authors responded half a month later with an update of their own that bypassed the patch. Several antivirus vendors like Kaspersky, BitDefender or AVAST, offer free stand-alone tools that can remove TDSS and similar rootkits. However, in order to avoid getting infected in the first place users should install an antivirus solution that provides advanced layers of protection, like those analysing software behavior.

The civic body announced on Monday that the flower show at Sabarmati Riverfront will continue till January 31 now. Earlier it was to end on January 22. On Sunday, on account of unprecedented rush and heavy traffic congestion, AMC authorities had issued an advisory urging people to stay away from the flower show. They had ssured that the duration of the show woul dbe extended if required. While the extension will please Amdavadis, only the show at the Flower Garden has been extended, not the one at the Event Centre. This means that people will only be able to view the exhibits, including plants and floral sculptures, not purchase anything. "Due to the overwhelming response to the flower show, we decided to extend it by a few days. Ticket counters will also be increased to avoid inconvenience to the visitors. On January 26 and 27, tickets will be priced at Rs 50," said mayor Bijal Patel.

We are proud to offer you our latest product. The Curcumin edition is the newest member of the DNH product family. After a year of development and testing it's finally available from the webshop. What is the reason for this product? Are the wonderful properties of CBD insufficient on their own? As part of nature, CBD and Curcumin have a programme that is incomparable with anything else, CBD as highest in rank, but when it comes to attributed properties Curcumin is a good second. That’s exactly why we call it the best of both worlds. Curcumin and CBD are in part, as regards effect and properties, aligned with each other and therefore increase the chance of making a valuable contribution to the well-being of humans and animals. There are also properties attributed to Curcumin that provide a great deal of extra added value independently of CBD. We opted for 30 ml and 50 ml packaging to draw individual attention to both products and to present these in the best possible way. As a result, the ratio CBD and Curcumin is 1 : 1 and this is the ratio that has been tested as best. The Curcumin edition is also particularly suitable for preventative use, 10 drops in cup of tea, glass of water or juice gives you a dream start to the day! Whenever you could use a little help, we recommend the use of 10 drops at breakfast and 10 drops during the day, and do please feel welcome to let us know what it does for you! We think this is the most wonderful product of all and the best supplement ever. What do you think?

Officers who followed a car zig-zagging down a Des Moines street before it crashed were surprised to find a 10-year-old boy at the wheel with his 7-year-old brother riding shotgun. A 911 caller alerted police to a reckless driver a little before 8:30 a.m. Monday. Officers who spotted the car turned on their flashing lights while following it, but the curb-to-curb excursion didn’t end until the minor crash. Police say neither of the boys was hurt. Sgt. Paul Parizek says the boys apparently were just out on a joy ride, and were heading nowhere in particular.

Turbocharging is one of the key technologies in current and future engine development. Due to the increasing requirements that extend beyond power output and torque alone, the internal and external mechanical components of turbochargers are being subjected to an ever-increasing load spectrum. 2017, Papadopoulos, Becker, Ehnis, Kunzel, et al. Since the oil emission in transient engine operation shows significant deviations from the stationary operation maps, one focus is the analysis of the dynamic oil emission behavior. This means that the calculation and assessment of dynamic oil measurement operations and the calculation of a standardized test program for the visualization of dynamic oil emission effects and for the systematic investigation of the causing oil transport mechanisms. The structural design of the piston group has a considerable influence on the mechanical losses of internal combustion engines. However, measures to reduce friction are often in conflict with the oil consumption – especially when designing the tangential force of the oil control ring. The oil emission of an internal combustion engine has a direct influence on the CO2 and particle emissions. As a result, the reduction of oil emissions, especially in the context of the stricter emission limits for the automotive industry, is increasingly becoming the focus of attention. To achieve this goal, a deeper understanding of the mechanism of action for the formation of oil emissions in internal combustion engines is necessary.

Valeri is vexed…Body wash can cost $4 or more. Some shampoos cost .66 to .99 cents. Is there that much of a difference between the two products to justify the price? I use the shampoo for body wash. Great question Valeri and an astute observation for even considering the possibility. The truth is that shampoos and body washes are so similar that they can be used interchangeably. In fact, in the early days of body washes it was not uncommon for a company to take its shampoo formula, put it in a different bottle, change the label and call it a body wash. Let’s look at some of the things that the two products have in common. 1. Water & detergent. Shampoos and body washes are designed to clean which means they’re mostly water and detergent. And for cleaning oil off of surfaces nothing beats surfactants. Body washes like Dove, Olay and Herbalessences all use Sodium Laureth Sulfate. This is the same surfactant that many shampoos use. 2. Fragrance & Color. No differences here. Body wash and shampoo use the same ingredients to make the product smell good and look pretty. 3. Conditioning ingredients. Since detergents can be a bit harsh, ingredients are added to improve the after-feel of hair and skin. Often body washes and shampoos use the same types of ingredients. While shampoos and body washes are quite similar there are some important differences. 1. Body wash uses less harsh detergents. Since skin is generally more sensitive than hair, body wash formulas are made with slightly less detergent and also less harsh detergents. The low cost shampoos use SLS or ALS which are excellent cleaners but can be drying to skin. 2. Different conditioning ingredients. Some of the ingredients that conditioner hair can also provide a nice feel on skin. However, many will not and this is often a key difference between shampoos & body washes. A great comparison is to look at the list of ingredients of the Herbal Essences Body Wash versus their Shampoo. See the similar ingredients? Companies have actually picked up on the similarities. In the Old Spice High Endurance Body Wash they show a guy washing his hair and body with the same product. Shampoos clean and so do body washes. In general you’ll find it beneficial to use both a body wash and a shampoo. But there is really no reason you couldn’t use a shampoo to clean your entire body. If you use a daily moisturizer, then there is no need for a separate body wash. For what it’s worth, there seems to be more than one opinion on this subject. I noticed I was getting styes all the time. So I went to my doctor and he confirmed that some people are just more prone to them. But he also said that wearing eye make up can exacerbate the problem. He suggested I stop wearing eye makeup for a while and see if it made a difference. I took his advice and my styes virtually vanished. I get one only about two or three times a year now. So I would say there can be a definite correlation. (Btw, I was using high quality eye makeup when I was getting the styes, so that doesn’t necessarily matter.) Anyway, hope this is helpful.

Hi! Do u think 楊平鐵路 is a worth-to-go place? how long does it take for the 3.1km ride?Thanks!

If you are thinking of moving to Sandhutton or just want to know a what the area is like, the statistics on this page should give you a good introduction. They cover a range of socio-economic factors so you can compare Sandhutton to figures for North Yorkshire and nationally. These statistics can tell you if Sandhutton is an economically deprived area and how hard it might be to get a job. The respondents of the 2011 Census were asked to rate their health. These are the results for Sandhutton. The percentage of residents in Sandhutton rating their health as 'very good' is more than the national average. Also the percentage of residents in Sandhutton rating their health as 'very bad' is less than the national average, suggesting that the health of the residents of Sandhutton is generally better than in the average person in England. These figures on the claiming of benefits in Sandhutton come from the Department for Work & Pensions and are dated . They can often be a good indicator of the prosperity of the town and possible indicator of how hard it would be to get employment in the area. The rate of unemployment in Sandhutton is both lower than the average for North Yorkshire and lower than the national average, suggesting that finding a job in this area maybe easier than most places. The rate of claiming any benefit (which includes in work benefits) is more than 10% lower in Sandhutton than the national average, suggesting higher salaries than the average in the area. These statistics are for the highest level education obtained by the residents of Sandhutton and are from the UK Census of 2011. Sandhutton has a lower level of residents with either no qualifications or qualifications equal to 1 or more GCSE at grade D or below, than the national average. Sandhutton also has a high level of residents with a higher education qualification (level 4) than the national average, suggesting that the residents of Sandhutton are better educated than the average England citizen. These figures for Country of Birth for the residents of Sandhutton are from the UK Census of 2011. Since Sandhutton has a higher level of residents born in the UK than the national average and a lower rate of residents either born in other EU countries or outside the EU, it does not have a significant immigrant population.

In view of the great potential of this plant for cosmetics industry, we dedicated an intensive research program, funded within the EU project, to the detailed characterisation of saponins present in different parts of the plant. The paper describes the first study of seasonal variations of surface activity of soapwort , collected in 2016 from the wild state in Poland. The plants were dried under different conditions and separated into roots/rhizomes, stems, leaves and flowers/fruits. The respective extracts were tested for the ability to reduce surface tension (crucial for the cleansing properties) and to froth (crucial for foaming). In the course of the study we have observed that during the plant lifecycle the surface activity of extracts from individual organs varied significantly. Since soapwort is a perennial plant, the changes probably reflect the saponin content alterations related to their production and storage in the plant for the next season.

The mural started out as a chalk mural that we designed and lettered but they soon wanted to make it permanent installation. So we painted it on the wall.

Since AppDaemon under the covers uses the exact same APIs as the frontend UI, you typically see it react at about the same time to a given event. Calling back to Home Assistant is also pretty fast especially if they are running on the same machine. In action, observed latency above the built in automation component is usually sub-second.

He and a neighbor managed to lure the horse toward them with a handful of grass, Sickinger said, and they even petted the horse for a bit. Sickinger had a strap he planned to use to bridle the horse, but he said better judgment took over and he decided the horse was too wild to control even if he could wrangle it. Sickinger told a St. Clair County sheriff’s deputy the horse might belong to a neighbor. There are several horse farms in the area, but none came forward as the owner, Sickinger said. Moments after Sickinger started petting the horse, a truck drove by and the horse followed after it. No one would see the horse until more than a week later. On Wednesday, area resident Aranza Lee spotted the horse in a soybean field near Imbs Station and Wagner roads, less than a mile from Sickinger’s home. She captured a video of the horse running freely through the field and shared it to the Millstadt News Facebook page. By Thursday afternoon, the post had more than 400 shares, but no one had come forward as the owner. “I mean, how weird is that?” said Sara Yoch of Smithton, a self-described horse-lover. Lt. Alan Haake of the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department said the department has received several reports over the past three weeks about the missing horse, but he said no one has come forward as the owner, nor has anyone been able to catch it. Yoch was out at the intersection of Otten and Wagner roads Thursday afternoon with a bucket of feed and a lead, looking for the horse. She said she was out in the same area Wednesday for about four hours, but didn’t have any luck. She warned area residents to avoid approaching the horse if they aren’t familiar with how horses behave, and to slow down when driving through the area. Yoch said a horse standing in a road on a dark night can cause serious damage to a vehicle and hurt the driver, as well as the horse, of course. It’s possible the horse was dumped, according to Stephanie Goepfert, a member of the Lincoln Trail Riders in O’Fallon. It can easily cost more than $500 a month to care for a horse, Goepfert said, and it’s possible the owner could not afford to keep it. On its own, the horse could get sick or injured, Goepfert added. “They can survive for a period of time in the wilderness, but if they’re a domesticated animal, they’re relying on a certain diet. It can be bad for them,” Goepfert said. They can survive for a period of time in the wilderness, but if they’re a domesticated animal, they’re relying on a certain diet. It can be bad for them. The most recent sign of the horse was a bedded-down area next to a creek near where the horse was spotted on Tuesday, Lee said. There was no sign of the horse as of Thursday afternoon, though several groups were planning to head out and search for it. Anyone who spots the horse can call the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department at 618-207-4374.

13 Mile Studio is a collective of four highly regarded contemporary artists, living and working within 13 miles of each other in South West London- Monette Larsen, Tracy Nicholls, Ros Perton and Megan Rowden. Through this exhibition Counterpoint they aim to highlight the context and impact of materials in contemporary three-dimensional art. As individual artists they are pursuing distinct pathways in which they are pushing materials and the traditional boundaries associated with them. Although meaning and context driven, 13 Mile Studio are also material-led artists, where skill and process is an important part of their work. Whilst their pathways and concerns are personal, the four artists share the aim to engage with a wider audience.

California Vehicle Code 21058 is intended to protect patients who live in rural areas that may go to hospitals that do not have doctors on staff at all hours of the day and night. There are numerous situations when a doctor may be needed at legitimate emergencies, and getting there fast is essential. If there's a shooting victim, a car accident patient or a woman with labor complications, at a rural hospital it's important to get a doctor to the operating room fast. In rural areas the on-call surgeon may live 15 or 20 miles away from the hospital and it's important for that surgeon to be able to get there in a hurry without worrying about legal repercussions. There are still many rural hospitals in California that still rely on the on-call physician for emergencies. This law was not designed to give doctors a "get out of jail free" excuse. There are still stipulations as to when the law applies. First, the doctor must be going to a legitimate emergency. Having dinner reservations, or being late to the airport will not constitute an emergency. Second, the doctor must maintain a reasonably safe speed. There is no excuse for driving recklessly, and doctors who cause harm to another person while speeding to an emergency will still be held accountable for their actions. Lastly, the doctors cannot allow someone else to borrow their car for the purposes of using the CMA sticker. This law only applies to a vehicle that is registered to a licensed doctor; if that vehicle is being used by the doctor; while the doctor is on his or her way to a real emergency. This law does not prevent an officer from pulling over a doctor. The doctor must show that he or she is on their way to an emergency. While most officers will probably not question a licensed physician, an officer that questions the authenticity of the emergency can still issue a citation. The physician would not be held accountable, and would not have to pay the ticket upon showing the court proof of the emergency. However, the doctor will have lost valuable time getting to the emergency while the officer is writing the ticket. There has been some debate between the California Medical Association (CMA) and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) over the necessity of this law. The CHP argues that the law, which was passed in 1954, is outdated and no longer necessary. The CMA argues that in rural areas the law is still needed and could save lives. For now, the law is still on the books and the CMA regularly gives stickers to licensed physicians to use in case of emergencies.

Albert Einstein theorized that because time is relative, a space traveler who leaves earth and travels near the speed of light will return to earth having aged more slowly than the people she left behind. For the space traveler, time has slowed down relative to the passage of time on earth. But those of us who are earthbound must deal with time moving as quickly as ever. And that is why we now find ourselves with only a year left in the remedial amendment period (“RAP”) that the IRS has provided to 403(b) plans. If a plan sponsor wants to take advantage of the RAP, it must complete the requirements of the RAP before March 31, 2020. First, some background. Those who have worked with 403(b) plans since before 2009 will remember that prior to the IRS regulations that were effective in that year, the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) did not require that a 403(b) plan be maintained in accordance with a written document. ERISA covered 403(b) plans were subject to the ERISA document requirements, but the IRC did not require it. To continue with the space-time theme, the 2009 regulations were something like the big bang, creating a new universe for 403(b) plans. One of the changes was the requirement that a contract (or custodial account) would not qualify under IRC section 403(b) unless it was maintained pursuant to a “written defined contribution plan”. The regulations require that the written plan “contain all the material terms and conditions for eligibility, benefits, applicable limitations, and the time and form under which benefit distributions would be made”. However, (in contrast to the parallel 401(k) universe) the IRS neither provided for a determination letter program for 403(b) plans or for pre-approved prototype or volume submitter plans. It provided some limited guidance as to what it expected in a 403(b) plan, but mostly document providers were on their own. This started to change in 2013, when the IRS announced procedures for the issuance of pre-approved 403(b) plans (Rev. Proc. 2013-22). Once the program was opened up, document vendors (which included many of the major investment companies serving the 403(b) market), submitted documents to the IRS for approval. The IRS reviewed the documents and issued opinion or advisory letters when they were approved beginning in March of 2017. Employers that adopted the approved plans could rely on the letter that the form of the document that they adopted to a substantial extent satisfied the form requirements of 403(b). In addition, in connection with the introduction of pre-approved 403(b) plans, the IRS announced a remedial amendment period. The RAP allows an eligible employer to retroactively correct defects in the form of a written 403(b) plan by timely adopting a pre-approved plan or by otherwise timely amending its plan document. The document may be retroactively adopted to the first day of the RAP period to obtain retroactive relief to that date. The first day of the RAP is January 1, 2010, and the last day is March 31, 2020. Therefore, if a plan completes the adoption of a pre-approved document by March 31, 2020, and is retroactively adopted to January 1, 2010 (or, if later, the date the plan was initially adopted) any defects in the form of the plan will be deemed corrected for all years after 2009. The RAP requirements can also be met by a sponsor making corrections to its current document, but the sponsor only has reliance from the IRS that the document meets the requirements of 403(b) if it adopts a pre-approved document. Note that the RAP cannot be used to correct operational errors, but can correct a plan provision, or the absence of a provision, that causes a plan to fail to meet the requirements of 403(b). If it hasn’t done so already, should a sponsor restate its plan onto a new, pre-approved document? To be clear, restating the document is not a requirement. A sponsor is free to maintain its current document if it chooses. But there are some compelling advantages to restating the plan, especially before the March 31, 2020 deadline. In addition to the ability to rely on the approval letter and the retroactive effective date, another plus is that the sponsor of the pre-approved document is responsible for keeping it up to date if there are changes in applicable laws or regulations that require plan amendments. Start early. It may be a little late in the game to give this advice but you should at least begin the process as soon as you can in 2019. It seems likely that the plan document sponsors will start to experience a rush as we get closer to the end of 2019 and it is important to make it into the queue before document sponsors start closing the door. Beginning the process often means simply contacting your investment provider and asking for a document to be prepared. Gather all prior plan documents and amendments. If your plan is taking advantage of the RAP and retroactively adopting the plan, you will need to incorporate all of the changes in the plan’s design since 2010. Be sure to also gather documents that were sent to participants about the terms of the plan, such as a summary plan description, summary of material modifications, enrollment kits or forms. It is important that the retroactive document reflect the promises made to participants during the remedial amendment period unless not permitted. Use the restatement process as an opportunity to re-consider aspects of your plan design. Are there any issues in the plan’s operation that you want to address? Are you satisfied that the design accomplishes your objectives? Use the restatement process as an opportunity to conduct a compliance review. Is the plan being operated in accordance with the terms of the document? You may need to fix operational errors, and in any event, you don’t want to carry mistakes over to the new document. Ask for help from your service providers and advisors. The pre-approved documents are meant to cover a wide variety of plan designs and situations and so can be quite complicated and some sections of the adoption agreements can be challenging to complete. Start early. We know – we already said that. But unless you have a space ship capable at traveling at the speed of light, the deadline is drawing near.

Minneapolis Granite, Marble & Quartz Stone | Kitchen Countertops St Paul, Apple Valley & Farmington MN - Granite Unlimited Inc. Choosing Stone: Granite Unlimited Inc. Natural stone can be classified into two general categories according to its composition: siliceous stone or calcareous stone. Knowing the difference is critical when selecting cleaning products (Click here for more information on Cleaning & Caring for your natural stone). Siliceous stone is comprised mainly of silica or quartz-like particles. It tends to be very durable and relatively easy to clean with mild acidic cleaning solutions. Calcareous stone is composed mainly of calcium carbonate, and is sensitive to acidic cleaning products and frequently requires different cleaning procedures than siliceous stone. What may work on siliceous stone may not be suitable on calcareous surfaces. A simple acid sensitivity test can be performed to determine whether a stone is calcareous or siliceous. To do the test, you will need about 4 oz. of a 10% solution of muriatic acid (CAUTION: Muriatic acid is corrosive and is considered to be a hazardous substance. Proper head and body protection is necessary when it is used) and an eye dropper, or you can use household vinegar and an eye dropper. Because this test may permanently etch the stone, select an out of the way area, and be sure to test several inches away from the mortar joint. Apply a few drops of the solution to the stone surface on an area about the size of a quarter. If the stone is calcareous, the acid drops will begin to bubble or fizz vigorously. If little or no reaction occurs, the stone can be considered siliceous. Thoroughly rinse the area with clean water and wipe dry. The test may not be effective if surface sealers or liquid polishes have been applied. If an old sealer is present, chip a small piece of stone away and apply the acid solution to the fractured surface. A polished finish has a glossy surface which reflects light and emphasizes the material’s color and marking. A polished finish is used on walls, furniture tops and other items. A honed finish is a satin-smooth surface with relatively little light reflection. Generally, a honed finish is preferred for areas where heavy traffic will wear off the polished finish. A honed finish may also be used on furniture tops and other surfaces. Granites and marbles are quarried throughout the world in a variety of colors with varying mineral compositions. In most cases, marbles and granites can be recognized by visible particles at the stone’s surface. Marble will normally show “veins” or high concentrations. The minerals in granite will appear typically as small flecks uniformly distributed in the stone. Each stone is unique and will vary in color, texture and marking. Sandstones vary widely in color due to different minerals and clays found in the stone. Sandstone is light gray to yellow or red. A dark, reddish brown sandstone, also called brownstone, has been commonly used in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Bluestone is a dense, hard, fine – grained sandstone of greenish – gray or bluish – gray and is quarried in the eastern United States.

A remarkably attractive small hill town, Recanati is close to the heart of many Italians as the birthplace of one the country's greatest poets, Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837). This dignified place, just inland from the Adriatic Sea, is strung out along the crest of a hill. It was renowned in the 16th and 17th centuries for its commercial fair, one of the most important in the Papal States, and its wide streets and comfortable buildings still bear a mercantile character. Nowadays, however, it is remembered for its famous son, Leopardi. He passed a hothouse childhood, self-imprisoned in his father's classics-filled library and spent the rest of his life trying to recapture in his pessimistic verse the illusion of happiness, glimpsed fleetingly as a youth in Recanati. Palazzo Leopardi at the southern edge of town, where he was born and brought up, holds memorabilia, manuscripts and his fascinating library. Around every corner, plaques mark spots referred to in his poems. The museum in Villa Colloredo-Mels, a splendid 18th century villa on the edge of the town centre, holds Recanati's greatest art treasure, a room with four of Lorenzo Lotto's finest pictures, including a most haunting Annunciation packed with almost breathless narrative detail - a high spot in any art-lover's tour of the central Marche. Recanati was also the home town of the great tenor, Beniamino Gigli and the Museo Gigli in the Palazzo Comunale, or town hall, on central Piazza Leopardi holds a collection of his costumes from some 30 operas, a mock-up of his dressing-room and some of the many presents he received, including a walking stick from Verdi. Other delights in Recanati include the Cathedral of San Flaviano with its magnificent 17th century wood ceiling and the Teatro Persiani, another of the Marche's unexpectedly grand 19th century theatres.

More than thirty years ago, when Arches National Monument in Utah was a brand new nationally “protected” wilderness, Edward Abbey spent a season there as one of the park’s few rangers. He wrote a book years later, recalling his solitary experience and reflecting on how much had changed since access into and interest in the park had increased. I couldn’t have chosen a more appropriate book for my vacation this fall to Zion National Park, a few hours drive from Arches. This book encompasses more than Abbey’s ranger experiences, expanding to include rich stories of the history and folklore of this region. During his lifetime, Abbey was an avid environmentalist, and it’s with more than a tinge of anger and sarcasm that he wrote of the state of our country’s national parks. While his thoughts on the method and madness of the US government’s management of national parks may seem extreme to some, I found I shared many of his opinions on how to deal with the conflicting interests of government, tourists and wilderness. Rule number one: Get out of the car and walk!

Almost all metals in the universe were produced in stars through nuclear fusion. As stars died, they released these metals into their surrounding environment. These heavy elements were then incorporated into later generations of stars, which eventually exploded as supernovae and released more metals into their surroundings, and so on. But can we get even more specific? Instead of just considering how metallicities change as a function of radius, can we start to consider how metallicities change around the disk of a galaxy? Satellite Galaxies All in a Row—How So? Hyper-velocity stars (HVS) are so named because they speed through our galaxy really, really fast. So fast, in fact, that they can escape the gravitational pull of our galaxy (about 300 km/s for the Milky Way). This means that either they are flying in from somewhere else altogether, maybe a dwarf galaxy that collided with us, or they were accelerated to such high velocities by a dramatic event within our own galaxy. There are two widely accepted theories about what this event could be, and HVS stars are often divided into two categories based on which origin story they fit best. One theory proposes that when a binary star system gets too close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way it is ripped apart by the strong gravitational forces, leaving one star in a close orbit around the black hole and ejecting the other. However, some HVS have been seen travelling from other parts of the galaxy. These can also be explained with binary star systems, but in this case it is the force of the supernova explosion of one star that ejects its companion and accelerates it to high speeds. What’s the first question that comes to mind when someone tells you they have discovered an exoplanet? Very likely, you want to know if it looks anything like the Earth. To actually answer that question, we need to not only find exoplanets but also characterize them, figuring out properties like the size of the planet, whether it has liquid water, and its atmospheric composition. Despite being such temperamental objects, variable stars can be reliable tools for probing the universe. By measuring the period of a variable star, we can learn about its composition, age, and brightness, broadly speaking. Applying that knowledge to large populations of variable stars can tell us about the structure of the Milky Way and our nearby Universe (shoutout to Henrietta Swan Leavitt and the Cepheid period-luminosity relation) as well as stellar evolution. The authors of today’s paper used the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution catalogue (aka TGAS) which provides very high-accuracy velocity data for potential lens stars, and cross matched it with all of the stars in the Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) source catalog to find any microlensing events that would happen within Gaia’s remaining lifetime. After combing through over 13,000 candidate lens stars, the authors were able to find one promising microlensing event for Gaia to detect! It turns out that we’re in for a treat on November 11th, 2019: LAWD 37, one of the closest known WDs to the Sun at only 4.6 parsecs away, will pass within a fraction of an arcsecond of a background star (with the somewhat less catchy name: Gaia Source 5332606346467258496), as shown in figure 3. If only our eyes were sensitive enough, the night sky would be ablaze with nearby astronomical structures. The Andromeda Galaxy would stretch across the sky about six times the angular width of the full Moon. The Magellanic Clouds would be fireballs tens of Moons across. The reddened molecular filaments of the nearby star-forming region Taurus-Auriga, glittering with young stars, would stretch over an area about 30 Moons across. Various studies throughout the years have established the fact that the gas giants significantly influenced the formation and evolution of our solar system. Jupiter in particular is thought to have played a considerable role in shaping the formation of the inner solar system. Astronomers believe that during the formation of the solar system, Jupiter blocked material from flowing into the inner disk, altered the velocity distribution of this material, and disrupted planet formation within several AU of the sun, leaving our solar system with no planets out to 0.39 AU. Because the gas giants played such an integral role in the formation of our own solar system, scientists are now interested in whether similar processes occur in exoplanetary systems. During a recent visit to the Dutch National Maritime Museum I came across the world map from 1648 AD by cartographer Joan Blaeu. In addition to being the first world map of the Earth that adhered to the Copernican worldview, Blaeu’s map is an extremely detailed document of the knowledge of the world at the time sourced solely from the information gathered by explorers from their travels through ages to the far reaches of the world. It’s inaccuracies and subjectivity to the western view of the world are quite amusing, but there is still a level of high detail and surprising accuracy. Through these details, it is clear that cartographers must meticulously piece together information from a large number of sources of varying reliability. Creating maps of exoplanets, also beginning to be known as Exocartography, is an equally challenging observational and mathematical problem which is addressed by today’s paper. Creating maps of exoplanets can give an idea of the presence of climatic features in the planetary atmosphere or surface which when compared to predictions from general circulations models can give us an insight into physical processes in play in their atmospheres. Observations in this context comprise of continuous monitoring of the brightness of a planetary system as different regions of the planet come into view. A schematic of these occultations is shown in Figure 1. Disk integrated flux (total flux from the planet’s surface which is visible as a circular disk) of the planet observed as a function of time in this way can then be converted to flux (more easily so for a tidally locked planet) as a function of spatial locations on the planet (which are coming into view as a function of time) to render a 2D brightness map of the planet for the chosen wavelength band. Since the first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015, there’s been a large focus on the gravitational waves produced by binary systems due to their loudness and characteristic signature. Most of this attention has focused on binary systems composed of compact objects like black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs as these are naturally the loudest events, the only binaries we know to exist in the frequency bands of ground-based interferometers…and compact objects are really cool. However, the coming space-based interferometer LISA will open up an entirely new frequency band for gravitational wave detection, and with it new progenitor systems to probe. Previous Astrobites have focused on some of these systems, such as supermassive black hole binaries, neutron star-white dwarf binaries, and even galactic binaries like AM Canum Venaticorum-type systems. However all these systems are still composed of compact and stellar, or larger, sized objects. Today’s paper takes a close look at a very different kind of binary system, an ultra-short period exoplanet, and shows that some of them should produce detectable gravitational wave signatures. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered to date, the vast majority within the past twenty years. In comparison with more massive and compact systems composed of black holes and neutron stars, the intrinsic gravitational wave luminosity of exoplanet systems is quite weak, but for select systems that are close to Earth their proximity can make up for the relatively weak signal and can be loud enough to be detected above the gravitational wave background. In order for such exoplanet systems to be detectable in the frequency range of space-based interferometers they must have extremely short periods of order an hour or less, and to be loud enough the planet has to be quite large. Seeing Red (and Blue): Two Sub-Populations of Type Ia Supernovae? Type Ia supernovae are useful because we can use them as standardizable candles—objects whose inherent luminosity we can figure out based on various properties such as how long it takes for them to fade after brightening. Once we know their luminosity (how much light they actually emit) we can calculate their distance based on measuring their brightness (how much light we measure from them here on Earth) and applying the inverse-square law. Actually figuring out their luminosity requires some care, however. We think that Type Ia supernovae can happen in at least two different ways (see this bite from 2012 for an explanation), and astronomers using them for distance measurements need to make various empirical corrections in order to do so. In the last 2000 years, only 8 supernovae have occurred within our galaxy that were bright enough to be recorded by humans. Among these is SN 1572, which was seen in the year 1572. It was observed around the world, but is perhaps most famously associated with the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, who wrote a small book about it titled De Nova Stella. As an aside, the title of that book is where the modern-day terms ‘nova’ and hence ‘supernova’ come from. The appearance of a new star in the sky helped to challenge the old Aristotelian understanding that the heavens were unchanging. Even today, there is a lot that we can learn from this supernova. At the site where SN 1572 occurred, we see today a supernova remnant — a cloud of gas that was thrown off by the supernova (see Figure 1). In fact, the gas shell is still visibly expanding, as you can see in this video. By studying light emitted by the supernova and reflected from surrounding material, researchers in 2008 were able to tell that SN 1572 was a type Ia supernova. Supernovae of this type are used to measure the distances to far-away galaxies, because of their unique feature that each explosion has almost the same luminosity. We know that Type Ia supernovae are caused by exploding white dwarfs, but we don’t fully understand what triggers the explosion. There are two important models: either the white dwarf collides with another white dwarf, or it grows in mass by pulling in material from a companion star. In the second of those two models, the companion star should survive the explosion and be flung away at a relatively high speed. Apart from having a high velocity, it would look just like a normal star near the supernova remnant. Therefore, by looking for a star near the supernova remnant that might be a surviving companion, researchers can hope to tell which of the two models triggered the explosion in SN 1572. If you’ve ever seen Star Wars (the original saga), you probably remember that scene in A New Hope with the two suns. You know, Luke Skywalker is whining about being stuck on his home planet Tatooine and stomps off into the binary sunset. Two suns hover over the horizon in a way that we Earthlings never witness in our single star system. Well, this scene in the science fiction masterpiece is not so far off from reality. Planets have been found to exist around binary star systems. Whether or not there are droids and Jedi on those planets is a different story. Today’s paper examines the phenomenon of extended main sequence turn-off (eMSTO) in a galactic open cluster – NGC 2818A. To do this, the authors make use of Gaia DR2, the data gift that keeps on giving, along with archival VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. Our first detection of gravitational waves with LIGO changed everything for astronomy. For the first time, we are able to not just look out into the Universe, but “listen” to it as well. So far, we’ve heard the collisions of the remnants of massive stars: black holes and neutron stars. The resulting data has had massive implications in fields from general relativity to nucleosynthesis. Today’s paper proposes a new use for detections of binary black hole (BBH) mergers. Vitale & Farr (2018) make the argument that if we know how often black holes are colliding, we should be able to determine how often stars form to produce these black holes.

The prototype of the graphic form of the Armenian letter Ն is the Greek “nu” – not the classical N, but one of its varieties. But it is not possible to determine, which variant exactly was used by Mashtots, because there were numerous variations of Ն in the IV–V centuries. Letter Յ denotes the sound [y]. At first, its phonetic meaning was confined to this, but with the lapse of time it changed. Apparently, no later than the XIII century, letter Յ got to be pronounced as [h] at the beginning of words.

As the sky turns from blue to orange in the Zimbabwe bush, a cool breeze blows to chase away the scorching heat of the afternoon, ushering in the night. A small brown mammal with plate-like scales rustles through the grass. Little does it know that it walks close to the path of extinction. There hasn’t been a more dangerous time to be a pangolin. The species has become the most trafficked mammal in the world. They are illegally traded for their scales, as bush meat or for medicinal purposes. But the threat of their extinction rarely makes news. An organisation in Zimbabwe aims to change this by educating the public about an animal many may not know even exists. Enabled by the Tikki Hywood Trust, a group of men dedicate their lives to rehabilitating captured pangolins. They are entrusted with caring for animals that have endured major stress, often having been transported many kilometres bound in a sack, starved and dehydrated. The process takes a lot of patience. It is a difficult task to gain the trust of the pangolins while trying to nurture them to full health. But the men do this with love for the animal. They have developed an intimate relationship while caring for them. Pangolins are like their children. And like any parent, they will protect their family from anything that poses a threat.

Chris Christie is a much better liar than Donald Trump–so why isn’t he president instead of Trump? Apparently Americans want entertainment with their lies and Trump is much more entertaining than Christie. Instead of vetting Trump before the 2016 election, the media used his draw to increase their revenues. Now, after the damage has been done and continues to this day, most of the media are trying to make up for their failures. When the truth is told, Trump just labels it fake news and his followers believe him, not the truth.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter and plays a role in the regulation of muscle tone. As its name suggests, it is technically an amino acid. However, it is unique to what most people know as amino acids because the amino acids that we are familiar with are in an alpha configuration, whereas GABA is in a gamma configuration. Consequently, it is not incorporated into proteins. Where Does GABA Come from? GABA is synthesised naturally within our body and low concentrations can be found in animal and plant products (cherry tomatoes are a good source). However, generally speaking, the amount we eat in our diet is very low. The potentially beneficial property of GABA is the theory that it may increase levels of hGH (human growth hormone) within the body. Human growth hormone is produced in the pituitary gland and aids in lean tissue gain, reduction of fat mass, and increases bone density. There have been a few studies that have suggested that GABA supplementation has resulted in elevated levels of hGH. An earlier study found that a single 5 g dose of GABA significantly increased plasma hGH levels in three hours (Cavagnini et al, 1980). A more recent study has supported these findings, reporting that 3 g GABA supplementation increased hGH levels in men at rest and during exercise compared to a placebo (Powers et al, 2008). No doubt, if GABA is effective in increasing hGH, this may be beneficial for bodybuilders. Powers et al (2008) stated that, "augmenting the postexercise irGH/ifGH response may improve resistance training-induced muscular adaptations", which simply means "increasing hGH may increase muscle gains". Another effect of increased hGH is the benefit it has on reducing fat mass. Therefore, if GABA is effective in increasing hGH, it may be helpful for those wishing to lose fat. The efficiency of fat loss may be a result of the ability of hGH to stimulate muscle growth, and hence elevate resting metabolic rate to burn more fat. One of the other reported effects of GABA is that is has a calming and relaxing effect. Consequently, it has also been used as a sleeping aid. One criticism behind the rationale of GABA supplementation is that for GABA to work, it needs to find its way into the brain. However, GABA does not readily cross the blood brain barrier, so it may not be able to exert its effect on the pituitary gland. It seems that although GABA may be able to increase hGH, taking too much may actually have the opposite effect. A study has shown that a dose of 18 g/day for four days actually reduced hgH levels (Driskell & Wolinsky, 2009). The use of GABA appears to be safe. However it is not as well studied as some other supplements. Therefore, if you are pregnant, are on medications, or have any serious illnesses, consult your healthcare professional before commencing supplementation. Due to the negative effect of high levels of GABA intake on hGH production, you should be wary of dosage, and make sure that you are not actually doing the opposite of what is intended. Studies have suggested that a 3 g dosage is adequate for promoting hGH production (Powers, 2008), and therefore is the recommended dosage. Because GABA may have a calming effect, it would be better to take the supplement an hour before bed, so it does not reduce your focus during the day. GABA can be found as a pure stand-alone supplement. Since GABA is a hGH promotant, it can be stacked with other hGH supplements. Here, they may work synergistically to provide different mechanisms to potentially boost your natural hGH levels. Additionally, since GABA is best taken at night, it could also be taken with a slow release night time protein, such as casein. However, if you are taking GABA purely as a sleep supplement, it may be better to do so on an empty stomach to promote rapid absorption.

HOMEOptimal PerformanceMetabolic Efficiency….Why is it Important? Metabolic Efficiency….Why is it Important? I did a metabolic efficiency test two weeks ago at Endurance Performance Training Center in Mill Valley, CA. It was my third time doing one and provided some very useful information. Seeing my results and understanding why knowing your metabolic efficiency is important for an athlete, I decided it would make for (what I hope to be) an interesting blog. Without going any further though I have to give credit to Tim Fleming for this post. He’s the general manager and head of performance testing at Endurance. Tim provided the majority of content for this blog based on his education and years of experience. Endurance is the ‘home base’ of Achieve’s resistance training sessions and indoor performance testing. There aren’t many facilities in the Bay Area, let alone Marin, set up to do high level performance testing (with all the proper equipment) like Endurance. The main photo if this post illustrates this to a degree. So without any further ado, why is it important to know your metabolic efficiency? Let’s first get a definition: metabolic efficiency refers to the degree to which fat is utilized as a fuel source at any given intensity during exercise. You may be thinking ‘ok, why do I need to know this?’. Well, if you’re an endurance athlete of any type then you probably know that excess fat doesn’t have a lot of benefits. Sure, it may add a little warmth during the winter months, but the weight of excess fat only slows you down, especially when going up hill. If only gravity didn’t exist. So most of you know that losing some fat will make you lighter (as long as you aren’t replacing it with muscle) which will decrease the effects of gravity and you will go up hill faster. This is always a good thing. Another important questions to understand is: why is it important to utilize fat as a fuel source? Before this is answered, it’s helpful to understand how the body produces energy. The human body utilizes a combination of fuels to produce energy during exercise. This consists mainly of carbohydrate, fat and a small quantity of amino acids (protein). Carbohydrate provides a constant kindling for other sources of fuel, such as fat, so it is important for endurance athletes to be capable of “sparing” carbohydrate utilization during exercise. However, energy production for muscle contraction during exercise is more efficient when a great percentage of fat is used in the fuel mixture. Now to answer the questions ‘why is it important to utilize fat as a fuel source?’ Mobilizing more fat to produce energy is efficient for several reason: fat burns more cleanly, thereby reducing metabolic “emissions”, fat has a greater energy density than carbohydrate and burning fat for energy spares limited stores of carbohydrate, resulting in better endurance or stamina. Furthermore, improving fat metabolism provides a great opportunity to reduce excess body fat mass. Another benefit from improved fat metabolism is less dependence on exogenous (from outside a system) sources of carbohydrate during training and competition, therefore reducing the likelihood of gastric distress. So now that we know why it’s important to utilize fat for fuel, the next question becomes, ‘how does one train the body to utilize it as a fuel source?’ Ultimately, training your aerobic energy system provides better fat burning, and in return, better metabolic efficiency. In addition, another key component is incorporating appropriate nutrition to effectively feed the aerobic system, creating a positive feedback loop for better overall fitness and endurance performance. All that said, the answer to the first question of ‘why is it important to know your metabolic efficiency?’ should be clear. Now that I’ve done a metabolic efficiency test, I know exactly what effort level (measured in heart rate and power) I have to train at in order to achieve optimal performance during my aerobic endurance phase. This will pay dividends throughout the season.

Jonathan C. Reiter Law Firm » Other Serious Injuries » Are Commuter Trains Becoming More Dangerous? New York City, NY – Top attorney, handles MTA, bus accidents, wrongful death, medical malpractice, doctor errors, airline injuries & death, & construction cases. Attorney Jonathan C. Reiter consistently delivers results. For people who live in busy urban areas like New York City and the surrounding major cities, rail travel is often the fastest and most affordable way to commute to work or into the city. However, a number of high profile derailments have occurred in recent years. Understandably, many people worry that trains have become more dangerous. How Many People Travel by Train? According to a Washington Post report, Amtrak is the busiest passenger train company in the United States, with about 11.6 million riders in the Northeast region alone — a figure that makes up around one-third of all rail travel in the country. Across the U.S., there are about 31.2 million train passengers each year. While the U.S. doesn’t have the robust rail systems often found in European countries and parts of Asia, experts say that rail travel in this country is undergoing something of a renaissance. The number of Amtrak riders increased by 55 percent between 1997 and 2012. Among all passengers, 88 percent start or stop their journey in one of 100 of the country’s largest metropolitan areas. Experts say the number of rail passengers is only likely to increase. While fuel prices fluctuate and have been down in recent years, the cost of fuel is a significant factor in many people’s decision to commute by train. Additionally, owning a car can be a major hassle in the country’s largest cities. Many train passengers say they can also shorten their commute by traveling by rail rather than dealing with traffic jams that can last for hours during rush hour. How Often Do Train Derailments Happen? Compared to previous decades, the number of train derailments has actually decreased. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, there were about 31 train derailments per year over the past 10-year period. By contrast, there were 54 train derailments on average per year in the decade immediately preceding the most recent one. However, rail safety experts say it’s important to consider all of the facts when you look at these figures. Although the number of trail derailments has gone down, the number of people injured during derailments has increased. Of course, car travel remains the most dangerous form of travel statistically. While there were over 32,700 fatalities in cars in 2013, there were 891 railway deaths the same year. When most people think of a train accident, they likely picture a derailment. This thought process is understandable, as these cases frequently involve many cars jumping the tracks, which can lead to a high number of fatalities and serious injuries. However, there are many different reasons why train accidents happen. Train Employee Negligence – This category of train accidents can encompass a wide range of negligence. In recent years, a number of serious train accidents have occurred because the train’s conductor was either fatigued, sleep-deprived or not paying attention. Train employee negligence can also happen when a conductor travels at an excessive speed or fails to slow down as the train approaches a curve. Derailments – Train derailments involve a train car or multiple cars jumping the tracks. If this happens during high speeds, the accident and injuries can be catastrophic. Bad Track Maintenance – Just as potholes and debris on the highway can cause a car accident, poor track maintenance can lead to a serious railway accident. Collision with Another Train – It’s rare for a train to collide with another train, but these accidents can and do happen. These types of disasters occur more frequently in subway accidents, where it’s common for many trains to run regular routes in close proximity to each other. In 2008, for example, a train operator working for California’s Metrolink caused a head-on collision with a freight train because he was text messaging and missed a red signal requiring him to stop. The accident resulted in 25 deaths and over 100 injuries. Collapsed Bridges – Bridge collapses or structural problems on a bridge can lead to a train accident if the train is en route and the operator is either unaware of the danger or too close to the bridge to make an appropriate stop. Collision with a Car on the Tracks – Train accidents can also occur when a vehicle is parked or stuck on the tracks at a rail crossing. There have been many serious accidents caused by motorists attempting to cross tracks or failing to slow down as a train approaches. In Nevada in 2011, six people were killed, and 16 were injured when a commercial truck struck an Amtrak train at a crossing. According to the investigative report, the truck driver was inattentive and didn’t attempt to brake until he was 300 feet from the crossing. If you have been injured in a train accident in New York City or the surrounding areas, it’s important to work with a mass transit accident lawyer who understands these cases. You have important rights. Your lawyer can help you protect them.

This can be used for ribs, hot dogs, chicken etc., etc. when grilling. Simmer onion in butter 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 10 minutes longer. This sauce yields 1 quart. If refrigerated, this will keep for a long time. At the end of the grilling time, put some on the meat. Photo courtesy Number55, Creative Commons License.

Jade Plant makes a fine choice for the outdoor landscape, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, this plant may be too tender to survive the winter if left outdoors in a container. Contact our store for more information on how to protect it over the winter months.

About me :) | More Joy, Magic, and Vibrant Living! A long time ago, I lost my joy. I must have taken a sharp turn and maybe Joy fell off the wagon. In the last few years, I started a quest to reconnect with Joy. I want more joy. I want more joy for me and for every one else on the planet. I want more excitement about being alive and more enjoyment and gratitude for everything. I don’t have any answers for you. What I have is a gift to help others find their truth within themselves. I have the ability to see things under a different angle. And the advantage of that is that when you look at things in a different way, the things you look at change. When you look at things under a different angle, you create space and from that space a new choice can arise. Living from conscious choice instead of unconscious reaction allows for more joy. As I was saying, I don’t have any answers for you but I can share what has worked for me so that you can embark on your own journey to bring more joy in your life.

Bilberry, known to science as actinium myrtillus, is a member of the blueberry family, and it is known for producing sweet blue colored berries. The bilberry bush is found both in North America and Europe, and it grows best in damp, acidic soils. The blue to black bilberries are used for many medicinal purposes, while the leaves have additional healing properties. One of the most significant properties of the bilberry is its ability to enhance night vision. From at least as far back as the sixteenth century, the bilberry was mixed with honey in order to create a syrup known as rob. This syrup was traditionally used to treat diarrhea, but today the fruits of the bilberry bush are being used to promote good vision, particularly night vision. In World War II, those pilots who ate large quantities of bilberries claimed to enjoy more accurate night vision, and many scientific studies have shown that bilberry is able to slow down the degeneration of sight, and may even improve visual acuity. In addition, bilberry has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of indigestion and diabetes, among other conditions. The bilberry contains large numbers of phytochemicals, which are thought to help lower blood pressure, inhibit the formation of clots and enhance the supply of blood to the nervous system. Some studies have shown that the antioxidants found in the fruit of the bilberry bush are up to fifty times as powerful as vitamin E and ten times as powerful as vitamin C. Bilberry also seems to show great effectiveness at reducing vascular insufficiency and other related conditions. Bilberry seems to work in much the same way as ginkgo biloba and horse chestnut, and the circulatory effects it produces are thought to be quite effective at increasing circulation and the health of the eyes and organs. Bilberry can be consumed in several forms, including fresh bilberry, extract and capsule forms. When shopping for bilberry, either the fresh bilberry or the bilberry supplement, it is important to buy only the highest quality products. The manner in which the fruit of the bilberry tree is harvested can make significant difference in its effectiveness as a health booster. It is important for the bilberry to be harvested at the peak of ripeness, and it is just as important that it be processed into supplements and capsules in facilities that use the best manufacturing equipment. Problems can be caused by contaminated manufacturing equipment, and buying bilberry from the most highly respected sources is the best way to ensure you get all the important benefits of the bilberry bush in your daily diet. The bilberry, like the blueberry and other related berries, is among the best and highest quality foods on the market. Whether you buy your bilberry fresh at the supermarket or health food store, or opt for the stability and ease of bilberry supplements, it is important to incorporate this valuable food into a healthy diet, for the health of your eyes, circulatory system and nervous system.

You can learn more about telephone town hall meetings at our sister-company, Monarch Broadcast Messaging. Telephone town hall services are provided to candidates, office holders, non-profit organizations, and corporations, to reach out to thousands of people simultaneously. It is the only interactive technology available that can mass-invite and accommodate large numbers of people to participate in a super-teleconference. Town hall teleconferences bring the benefits of live interactive town hall meetings to the comfort of homes and offices. Rather than a physical town hall meeting that involves scheduling, reservations, and traveling for all participants, a telephone town hall meeting can be set up easily using advanced teleconferencing technology. The service is used by elected officials and candidates who are interested in staying in touch with the voters and by non-profits to inform their membership of latest news and to take questions about policy issues and developments. The advantage of the service is that it can be set up quickly, easily and everyone can participate, regardless of the weather, without leaving the comfort of their home or office. The teleconference can invite individuals who use both landline or cell phones and includes several optional features such as Q&A and instant polling capabilities. While physical town hall meetings have a limited seating capability, seating at most several hundred people, telephone town hall meetings can accommodate anywhere from several thousand to upwards of a hundred thousand people at a time. It is the only technology that has the ability to interactively connect that many people at once. Not only does the technology provide a tremendous convenience for the leaders and listeners, but the leaders can select and target the exact constituencies they are interested in engaging. For instance, a leader who is interested in discussing issues that involve senior citizens, can set up the town hall teleconference to call only senior citizens. Invitations are sent out by phone calls which are automatically delivered by the thousands every minute. Those who answer the phones at home receive a recorded message that invites them to participate and join the teleconference by pressing their keypad. If they are not interested, they can just hang up. The entire process is opt-in, and leaders can effectively get tens of thousands of interested participants on the teleconference in minutes. The telephone town hall conference starts when the system begins dialing the phones numbers on your call list. Each recipient hears a brief recorded message that invites them to your teleconference. Should they choose to participate, they only need to stay on the line to be put into the conference. For calls that go to voicemail, rather than a live answer, your recorded message will be left indicating the nature of the call. Your participants can press “0” to indicate they would like to ask a question, and they will be put into a question queue. You will be able to see the name and location of every individual in the Q&A queue, and will control who and when they will talk live and be heard by everyone on the call. Should you need information about the question topic, a member of your team can momentarily pull the caller out of the conference to get additional information, and then return them to the teleconference. You also have the option to conduct a survey or poll with everyone on the teleconference, by posing questions and having participants input their answers by pressing keys on their keypad. (For example, “If you are in favor of lower taxes, press #1. If you are in favor of higher taxes, press #2.) Response results are immediately available to you, and also recorded in a database record for each participant. Any individual that didn’t get the opportunity to ask their question can be transferred to voicemail, at your discretion, to pose their question or leave comments. Those messages and the appropriate contact information are recorded and sent to you or your designated representative for further action. The system is already in place so there is no need to buy any hardware of software to begin using the service and there is no set up fee. It’s all done online and billing is done on a pay as you go basis and there are no overhead or maintenance costs. Telephone town hall services will continue to grow in popularity because it is the best way to reach thousands of people instantly at a fraction of what postage would cost to send direct mail. But more importantly, you can actually stay ahead of the informational curve and get the proper information out those people whose opinions count, while interacting with them in personal way. At present, it’s the best way to establish a relationship with your constituents and/or members. For more information on telephone town hall services call 888-3878636, or visit the service page here.

The N/E corner of Queen and John as illustrated in 1851. Interesting because two of the buildings survive to this day. The W. H. Brayley dry goods store was the Beverly Tavern for years and if you look closely the small shop to the left (W.H. Smith), is still there and still selling books as a BMV outlet! I had a good look at the BMV today (including the basement) and realize that the building has at some point been rebuilt on top of the original rubble foundation. A little research shows that WH Smith did not enter the Canadian market until 1958. A view of the distinctive roof line from the 1840’s (or so) and the original St Patrick’s Market. St George the Martyr Church can be seen in the distance. The same building (now the famous Beverley Tavern) in the early 1980’s. Photo by Patrick Cummins. The distinctive roof line can still be identified under the modern facade. St. Patrick’s Market and the tower as seen in the first illustration. On the map below from 1858 the Market and the dry goods store are both evident.

Ohio Lease Termination forms can be used when landlords and tenants have mutually agreed to terminate their lease contract. When there is no lease agreement (like in the case of weekly rentals), you can instead use the Ohio Notice to Vacate to inform the other party in advance that you wish to end the tenancy agreement and vacate the premises. Ohio landlords are required to give notice to tenants at least 30 days in advance to terminate a month-to-month tenancy. Ohio Lease Termination - What should I know? Unlike the Ohio Notice to Quit, which can be used initially to inform the offending party that there is a breach of contract in the lease that you wish to have corrected within a timely fashion, the Ohio lease termination form is a final document that can be used to terminate the Ohio lease contract once both parties have reached an agreement to do so. Upon satisfaction of the obligations set forth in the lease termination agreement, neither the Landlord nor the Tenant have further rights or obligations with respect to the original Ohio Lease Agreement. All lease termination agreements should include relevant facts pertaining to the Ohio Rental Agreement that is being terminated and the terms that will remain in effect until the lease termination date. This includes the address of the rental property, the agreed upon rent payment, and the date by which the property must be vacant. The Ohio Lease Termination is not the same as the Ohio Eviction Notice. The eviction process for your residential lease begins when a writ of possession is issued by the court in an unlawful detainer lawsuit brought forth by the landlord. The Writ of Possession is a court order authorizing the Sheriff to physically remove a person and all their belongings from the premises and to return possession to the landlord. Eviction comes into the picture once you have terminated the rental agreement and the tenant has remained on the premises beyond the lease termination date. Ohio Lease Termination - do I have other options? Before terminating your Ohio Residential Lease, you should consider using a Notice to Quit if you feel like the problem can be remedied. For example, if the tenant has not paid rent, in addition to sending a late rent notice with your property management software, you can serve a 30 day notice to quit or pay rent. This means that the tenant must pay rent within a certain period of time or otherwise vacate the premises by a certain date. If the tenant is able to make the payments on time then the Ohio rental lease will continue as if no notice was ever served. If the tenant is not able to pay they must vacate the premises by the lease termination date. If the tenant remains on the premises beyond this date, then the landlord can bring forth a lawsuit for unlawful detainer. Be sure to use our tenant screening solution in the future to ensure you get the best tenants and never have to terminate a rental lease ever again! You can also download our free Ohio rental application to gather basic information about prospective tenants and perform a rental credit check.

It truly is a widespread expertise of private investigators and private detectives to go through the problem of looking for a number of locations on exactly where their target object or individual may possibly frequent. At times it's taking an excessive amount of of the private investigator’s or private detectives’ time just looking for these distinct locations. Despite the fact that asking for directions might be possible it truly is not becoming employed and regarded as as an selection by private detectives and private investigators because of the fact that such action from them would raise suspicions, who knows the person that they might be asking is acquainted with all the target topic or person therefore the private investigator or private detective may be risking his or her life and ultimately risking the whole investigation itself. Because these issues could arise from asking for directions from strangers that spy gadget developers or producers have developed a watch which will support private detectives and private investigators discover directions by way of the GPS function which is embedded with all the watch. This GPS travel watch’s style is an excellent item of creativity due to the truth that it conceals the GPS capability of the watch. The GPS Travel watch is equipped with the Adopt SkyTraq Venus Chipset that would allow the watch to have sixty-five channels for purposes of straightforward reacquisition and acquisition. As a result of the GPS capability and also the incorporation of advanced technologies that the watch is built to be protected from the harsh elements regardless of whether be it a hot, warm or even a cold weather. The GPS Travel Watch is also equipped with two switch modes 1 for the location finder and also the other is the data logger. Batteries are not a difficulty as it comes with a rechargeable battery generating your using the watch with no worrying of getting your batteries run out. The GPS Travel watch is the very best in the field of GPS tracking as a result of the fact that it's equipped with the ideal capabilities.

If you’re looking for an affordable alternative to a light-commercial spin bike, the JOROTO GS60 is definitely worth having a look at. It’s one of the newer bikes released by JOROTO in the second part of 2018. Although it’s not a bike made for commercial use, it has a sturdy construction and can support most spin workouts. It also includes several accessories which other spin bikes do not have. The JOROTO GS60 features quite a different frame design than most indoor cycling bikes. It’s not a triangle frame, nor a V-frame; its longitudinal base section is actually composed of two bars which hug the flywheel at the front, while the seat tube and the handlebar tube are directly connected by the main bar of the frame. This being said, there is no step-up bar element above the crank, such as for the Sunny SF-B1805, or the Spinner P3. The bike’s frame is made of ovalized steel tubing, coated with a durable black paint which is resistant to corrosion. The seat and handlebar posts have a chrome plating finish, though, as well as the flywheel. Also, the bike’s construction incorporates a few ABS parts. The side shrouds that cover the belt, the magnetic brake assembly, and partially the flywheel, are made of a durable ABS plastic material. This JOROTO exercise bike isn’t extremely heavy, compared to other spin bikes; for example, the Body-Solid ESB250 weighs approx. 145 lbs (~66 kg). However, its net weight still is ~90 lbs (~41 kg), which is more than twice the weight of the average mountain bike. This being said, the unit provides an excellent stability. Plus, both its bases have adjustable stabilizers, which allow you to perfectly level it on any type of floor. Transporting the bike once it was assembled isn’t too difficult, though. Just like many other indoor cycling trainers, its front base is equipped with transport wheels. By pressing the handlebars forward and using these wheels to move the bike, you will only be handling approx. 1/3 of its total weight. The fully assembled bike isn’t extremely large. It is 49″ (124 cm) long, and 20″ (51 cm) wide. However, it’s recommended to leave at least two feet of clearance all around it for ease of access and safe operation. The JOROTO GS60 includes a high-comfort saddle. It’s approx. 10.8″ (27.5 cm) long, and 7.9″ (20 cm) wide. It integrates a thick layer of foam cushioning especially in its rear section. Its rear part features two suspension springs which add more shock absorption. It also has a longitudinal groove in order to provide a higher breathability during seated workouts. Although it’s a really comfortable seat for an indoor cycling bike and you may not need to replace it, finding a replacement for it shouldn’t be a problem. Its attachment system to the slider is standard. Therefore, compatible options for it should be available in any bike shop. The seat is four-way adjustable (up, down, forward, backward). Its designed to suit users with an inseam between 27.5″ to 35.4″ (70 – 90 cm). Differently put, the bike can accommodate users between 5’0″ and 6’4″ (153 – 193 cm) with no problem, promoting a correct leg extension during pedaling. Also, the seat assembly is durable enough to support users up to 280 lbs (127 kg). This JOROTO exercise bike is equipped with a multi-grip handlebar. It can provide at least four grips, including standard, parallel, aero, and race. It has a center loop aerobar to which the meter is attached. It is urethane dipped in order to provide a comfortable and secure grip. Two elbow rest pads are included with the bike. Not many exercise bikes come with these accessories. A phone holder is also attached at the top of the handlebar post. Finally, the bike’s handlebar is two-way adjustable. Its upright post provides approx. 5″ (13 cm) of upright adjustment. It does not have a horizontal slider, and cannot be moved forward and backward as the seat. The JOROTO GS60 is equipped with a mid-range, 30 lbs (13.6 kg), chrome-plated flywheel. It has a perimeter-weighted structure in order to provide a high inertia, great for spinning workouts. The pedaling motion is very smooth and pedaling in reverse is also possible. However, when pedaling in reverse, the resistance remains constant. This being said, you cannot coast on the bike. The crankset is highly durable, designed to support any spin workout. Therefore, even if you’re close to the maximum 280 lbs (127 kg) weight limit, you should be able to pedal while standing up with no problem. The crank arms are steel-made, and the pedals are made of a metallic alloy as well. The pedals feature adjustable toe cages but do not have clips for spin shoes. Their threads are 9/16″ standard, though, so you can replace them with almost any type of bike pedals if you want. The JOROTO GS60 features a manual magnetic resistance system. It is equipped with a magnetic brake pad which is attached to the tension knob on top of the main bar of the frame. When you turn the knob clockwise, the magnetic brake moves closer to the metallic flywheel increasing the magnet’s pull. This results in a higher pedaling difficulty. Since the resistance system doesn’t involve any friction, the usage of the bike is almost completely silent. The tension knob also fulfills the function of an emergency brake, though. You can press it down to instantly stop the flywheel. This is actually recommended, especially when pedaling at a higher speed, due to the fact that the flywheel is pretty heavy, and the pedals continue to spin for as long as the flywheel is spinning. There aren’t any pre-determined resistance levels marked on the bike’s tension knob. But as a general idea, by tightening it all the way, the resistance generated will provide a very consistent workout. The bike’s internal transmission uses a poly-v belt. Just like any bike belt drive, it doesn’t require lubrication. It also generates less vibration than a chain, the pedaling motion being very smooth and quiet. The bike’s exercise meter is a basic unit, but considering that many other spin bikes (even commercial ones) do not have this accessory, having it is quite a plus. Its LCD display shows time, distance, total distance, speed, and calories burned. It does not have a pulse reading function, and the bike does not have any integrated pulse sensors. Therefore, if you need to keep an eye on your heart rate during your workouts, you will have to use a separate device. The meter unit only has one button and is powered by two AAA batteries. It starts up when you press the button or when you begin pedaling, and also has a sleep mode to which will enter after a few minutes of inactivity on the bike. By pressing the button repeatedly you can select one of the values to be shown all the time on the display. You can also select its Scan function and with it set ON, all the values will rotate, each one appearing on the display for a few seconds. The unit’s button can also serve as a reset button. You can press it and hold it for a few seconds to clear all the values on the meter to zero. The core frame of the bike comes pre-assembled. The resistance elements, the flywheel, the crankset, the belt, and their covers are already in their places. Therefore, you only need to attach the two base stabilizers, the seat post, the saddle, the handlebar post, the handlebar, the pedals, the meter, and several other small parts. This shouldn’t take more than 40-50 minutes. All the tools needed for it are included, and the manual provides very clear assembly instructions. For maintenance, you only need to wipe off the sweat that may have fallen onto the frame during your workout, and periodically look for loose bolts and parts. The belt doesn’t need periodic lubrication, and since the brake is magnetic, should not undergo any wear and tear, at least not for a very long period of time. No LED backlight on the exercise meter. The JOROTO GS60 is an indoor cycling bike made for spin workouts. It’s equipped with a magnetic resistance system, a 30-lb flywheel, and a high-comfort seat. It offers superior micro-adjustability and has pretty sturdy construction for a home use trainer (can support users up to 280 lbs). It’s a great bike for high-intensity cardio workouts, interval training, stamina and strength development, and of course, for burning a lot of calories. And finally, it costs less than half the price of a commercial-grade spin bike, while its overall quality is pretty close to light-commercial.

The spine is made up of a series of connected bone called vertebrae. Between each vertebrae is a cushion called the intervertebral disc. Each disc absorbs the stress and shock that goes through the body during movements like bending, twisting, running and jumping. A herniated disc can also be called a slipped disc. It happens when part of the disc is squeezed out from between the vertebrae. Although most herniated discs are not symptomatic, they can potentially result in an irritated or “pinched” nerve, resulting in buttocks or leg pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and, sometimes, back pain. The pain can vary from very mild to so severe it is almost intolerable. In some instances there may be no pain and proper investigation is then needed to determine the cause of the nerve problem. Most people with a herniated disc do not have a pinched nerve (medical term: radiculopathy), but even if radiculopathy is present, surgery is usually not needed to correct the problem. It becomes vital to distinquish if the herniated disc is causing a problem, and if so which disc to direct proper treatment. This is where a physiatrist’s analysis is vital. Just as if you had chest pain you would not seek the consultation of a heart surgeon, but see a cardiologist first, so with back pain, herniated discs, or musculoskeletal pain of any type including arthritis, it is important to seek the advice of a non-surgical specialist who has ability to analyze the situation in depth and has a large number of treatment options besides just surgery to offer.

LUCERNE VALLEY — A motorist on Thursday morning found the body of a bicyclist who had been struck by a hit-and-run driver the night before. Angelo “Andy” Douglas Azzato, 47, of Lucerne Valley had been riding east on Highway 247 when he was struck from behind, San Bernardino County coroner’s officials said. Investigators say the crash occurred either late Wednesday or early Thursday. A passing motorist found his body on the side of the road just before 8 a.m.. Anyone with information may call the California Highway Patrol’s Victorville office, 760-241-1186. Relatives of Azzato, who are being sought by coroner’s officials, may call 909-387-2978.

Can Enterprise PDM restricted the location that a user and/or machine checks files in and out of the vault? I am interested in an individual only being able to check files out of the vault to a secured location and not being able to transfer files to another unsecured location. Can this restricted access be applied to a computer with a hard drive or is a terminal required for the level of security? When a user checks out a file, they are not really checking it out to another location, in the sense of copying it to a different drive. It's true that the PDM system copies the file from the vault to the user's 'local cache', but it only appears to them as a file in their vault view, and as such it is still under the control of EPDM. As far as them copying and pasting files to other locations outside of the vault, AFAIK there's no way to prevent it (as a function of Windows, not EPDM) without the use of third party software. Search this forum or Google around to find something that would suit your needs.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- With a snowstorm (and possible blizzard) moving, many of us will spend Sunday indoors. And, while our four-legged friends may come with their own fur coats, they are still vulnerable to frostbite and exposure. According to the ASPCA, the winter winds’ cold, dry air and chilly rain and snow can chap our pets’ paws and dry out their skin. But, that’s not the only problems they face. The chemicals used to melt ice can be “downright dangerous” when they lick their paws to clean them. Don’t leave your pets alone in the car. While we often hear about how quickly cars heat up during summer months, they can turn into refrigerators in the winter. Finally, the ASPCA reminds pet owners if it’s too cold for them, it’s probably too cold for their pets. So, they recommend keeping them inside. If they are left outside, the pets could freeze, become disoriented, lost, stolen, injured, or killed.

Climate change is no more a myth and is a harsh reality. Several pieces of literature along with scientific demonstration are proving that rising temperatures are linked to changing weather patterns. Due to rising temperatures drought, storms, wildfires & extreme weather conditions have become a routine thing. Journalists visited to discover how the locals across southern Kenya and Myanmar are coping with extreme weather. A recently published news story highlights the devastating lives of the herding community living in drought-stricken Kenya. The area is witnessing erratic weather patterns due to climate change. The change in the weather patterns has led to lack of vegetation and water resources. These things are eventually jeopardizing the survival of livestock and the pastoralist way of life. Sharing his experience about weather patterns, Joshua Ntaserua, a Maasai herder said that he lost roughly 15 beasts when he migrated near Tanzania. The report further highlights the devastating condition of mangrove forests in the Ayerwaddy Delta in the south of Myanmar. People are cutting down mangrove forests in order to plant rice and prawns. The report further suggests that mangroves are being destroyed at rates three to five times higher than global deforestation and only 16 percent of the original cover is left in the Delta Region. Win Meung, a seasoned ecologist, said that mangrove conditions are severely degraded because of the fact that villagers don’t have a permanent job so they cut trees to get money. The Mangrove forests are considered as vital to fighting against climate change and extreme weather events. They further help in mitigating carbon emissions. The adverse effects of Climate Change are not limited to specific areas. They are influencing the whole global community. One recently published article on climate change suggests that it is giving birth to insect-borne tropical diseases in the United States. In his article, columnist Tom Toles has said that it is not just the rising temperatures but also the associated tropical diseases like West Nile virus, dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika are going to give sleepless nights to the citizens. The climate change is considered as an originator of extreme weather conditions like storms and cyclones which will eventually tropical diseases. These reports are considered as extremely important owing to the fact that these are bringing forth the harsh reality of climate change. Though global warming and climate change have been proven scientifically, yet there are people still around who consider all these things as myth. These reports are putting as pieces of evidence in order to spread awareness about the devastating effects of global warming and climate change. The drought, warming oceans, melting ice caps and rising sea levels are disturbing the ecology of the planet in one or the other. It’s time for the global community to stand and protect Mother Earth else the end would be near.

Rockland — Maine-based nonprofit WindowDressers coordinates community volunteers to build affordable, re-usable, interior insulating window inserts that tighten up existing windows. The cost of the insert depends on the size of the window, but averages $25 for a medium-sized insert in natural pine. Twenty-two percent of the inserts built are reserved for low-income customers for a small donation. Go to windowdressers.org or call 596-3073 to sign up. Volunteers are needed now through December at the Lincoln Street Center, 24 Lincoln St., where lumber for the inserts is cut, drilled, and assembled before being sent out to the 27 Community Builds across the state. At the Community Builds, customers and volunteers come together in an organized, barn-raising model to construct the custom-built inserts for themselves and their neighbors. The production center at Lincoln St is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and volunteers can sign up online for morning or afternooon volunteer shifts at windowdressers.org, or call 226-3555 to speak with a volunteer coordinator. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome and will be trained on site.

The properties of soft cohesive soils can be improved by mixing of a variety of chemical additives. The addition of lime, fly ash and cement in different combinations can significantly improve the shear strength and compression properties of such soils. Other additives can be used to fix pollutants in place to prevent leaching or to reduce soil permeability. Deep soil mixing (DSM) is achieved using either a wet or a dry process where metered quantities of additives are injected into the soil through the hollow stem of a rotary drill string fitted to a drilling rig. The method helps to achieve significant improvement of mechanical and physical properties of the existing soil, which after mixing with cement or compound binders becomes the so-called soil-mix (or soil-cement). The stabilized soil material that is produced has a higher strength, lower permeability and lower compressibility than the native soil. There are two different mixing methods of deep soil mixing. The existing soil which has to be improved can be mixed mechanically, either with a slurry including binder (wet DSM) or with a dry binder (dry DSM). Jetting of slurry can be also used to boost the mechanical mixing. The wet method is more appropriate in soft clays, silts and fine-grained sands with lower water content and in stratified ground conditions including interbedded soft and stiff or dense soil layers. The dry method is more suitable for soft soils with very high moisture content, and hence appropriate for mixing with dry binders. This method consists of a special mixing tool which is inserted into the soil on site. This mixing tool comprises of a drilling rod, transverse beams and a drill end with a head. The drilling does not cause any vibrations, and is accommodated by cement slurry outflow from nozzles intentionally placed at the end of the soil auger. When the design depth is reached, the construction phase of deep soil mixing (DSM) columns is started. Mass wet soil mixing is carried out with a horizontal axis rotary mixing tool at the end of a track hoe arm. The binder slurry is injected through a feed pipe which is attached to the arm. This technique creates individual soilcrete columns, rows of overlapping columns, all of which have a specific design strength and stiffness. Wet soil mixing is suitable to any soil types which includes even organic soil. With this method, the treatment of soil is possible to depths up to 100 feet. Dry soil mixing is a ground improvement technique that mechanically mixes the soil with dry cementitious binder to create soilcrete so as to improve the weak soils such as soft, high moisture clays, peats. A high speed drill moves into the ground with a drill rod which has radial mixing paddles near the bottom so as to construct the columns. During the penetration of the tool into the ground, it shears the soils to prepare them for mixing. As and when the tool the specified design depth, the binder is injected through the drill steel where it is assorted with the soil as the tool is taken out. Mass dry soil mixing is carried out with a horizontal axis rotating mixing tool positioned on the end of a track hoe arm. The binder is injected to the soil mixing tool through a feed pipe, which is attached to the track hoe arm. With dry soil mixing, the treatment for the soil is possible to depths up to 60 feet. Obstructions are sometimes pre-drilled ahead of the soil mixing process. When there is need for ground improvement work or site remediation and the soil is very weak or contaminated soil with high water content such as deposits of dredged sediments or wet organic soils or waste sludges , shallow dry mixing provides a cost-effective solution. In this method special mixing tools are used which are usually fixed to an excavator’s rig arm. Stabilization is performed in phases which is according to the operational range of the drilling rig. This normally comprises an area of 8 to 10m2 and depth up to 4m approximately. When the necessary binder volume has been applied, mixing is continued to make sure of the optimum mixing properties.

I love it when a plan comes together. Or, more specifically, when a half-baked idea actually works. One of my go-to slow cooker dishes is Pepperoncini Beef, which is pretty much a 2- to 3-pound beef chuck roast stuffed with a few cloves of slivered garlic, topped with a 16-ounce jar of pepperoncini and simmered on low for eight hours. We make roast beef and pepperoncini sandwiches on sub bread; topped with cheese and baked in the toaster oven for about three minutes, these are more than mere sandwiches. Problem: 2 to 3 pounds of roast beef leaves us with WAY more leftovers than we can possibly stand to eat in one week, and it doesn’t freeze well. Yesterday, while filling the grocery list with ingredients for another slow cooker recipe, I found the solution. Household fave Cowboy Stew, from the Year of Slow Cooking blog, calls for a pound of browned hamburger meat. In the end, what’s the difference between a pound of ground beef and a similar amount of shredded roast beef once you mix it all up together and cook it for eight hours? It was delicious, plus it saved me nearly $5 and the guilt of tossing out perfectly edible food. Kitchen WIN!

The American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) began as a men’s collegiate hockey league in 1991, and quickly grew to a league of over 150 teams in three men’s divisions. The Women’s Division 2 was added in 2006, and the ACHA currently boasts five divisions with over 375 teams from across the nation. The purpose of the ACHA is to support quality, unity and regulation ofintercollegiate hockey programs nationwide. In order to do this, the ACHA has developed organization By-Laws and a Policies and Procedures Manual to provide the policy foundation for the organization as it works to fulfill its purpose. These documents are reviewed yearly at the ACHA’s annual meeting.

When I visited New Zealand in 2015, I spent the majority of my time in Christchurch. The primary reason for my trip to the area was to attend a Geocaching Mega Event in the area known as Kaiapoi. I spent nine days in and around Christchurch exploring the city and the countryside. I will cover most of the main area’s I visited in Christchurch in this post. However, there are a couple of posts that I have previously shared a little about my time in Christchurch. I will list them below if you want to read more about my time in Christchurch. I visited Hagley Park on numerous occasions while in Christchurch, both as a place to walk and to find a few Geocaches. The park itself is almost like a break or buffer between the Christchurch CBD and the suburb of Riccarton. There are many large trees throughout the park and many beautiful gardens. There is even a relatively shallow waterway that it is possible to kayak through as well. Hagley Park also incorporates the Christchurch Botanical Gardens. Throughout there are many beautiful gardens full of flowers at the time that I visited. The Groynes is a rather large park with many walking trails and a range of dog off leash areas. There are also some beautiful areas through the park such as this one with a tributary of the Waimakariri River running past. Cathedral Square sits at the centre of Christchurch when you look at Christchurch on the map. Depending on the map the city name will be almost on top. It is also the place where the Christchurch Cathedral, which was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake stands still very much damaged. As you look at the buildings around the square, it can be rather difficult to see why some are barricaded off. While others show the very visible signs of the damage from the earthquake. Such as the building below which is fenced off but has no external signs of damage. I did not spend a lot of time in the Christchurch Central Business District. But on the one chance, I had to walk around there was a couple of interesting features that I spotted. The first was at one point when I came across this waterwheel. It does seem to be a relic of the past, but I wonder for what it might have been used. There is also the Bridge of Remembrance; I am not certain if the repairs were for the bridge itself or the archway. However, it is dedicated to those who died in World War I and serves as a memory to those who participated in both world wars. One interesting area of Christchurch that is new since the earthquake is the Renew Shopping Mall. It is in this area that a lot of shipping containers have been used to rapidly build a place for the shops to operate. It is an interesting area, and I wish I had been a coffee drinker at the time I visited as this might have been a good spot for coffee. There is a temporary art installation which in some ways acts as a memorial to the lives lost in the 2011 Earthquake. There sits here 185 empty white chairs each one representing a life lost in the earthquake. While I was out looking for Geocaches around Christchurch, there were some amazing spots that I discovered. This particular spot is near to a location known as Sign of the Kiwi and looks down across the hills to Governors Bay. The Waimakariri River runs a little to the north of Christchurch. The river flows for around 150km from the Southern Alps, across the Canterbury Plains to the Pacific Ocean. At this location, it is quite wide almost at the Pacific Ocean, but further upstream it flows in a braided fashion. The city of Christchurch and the surrounding area offers so much to see and explore. What I have shared today in this post is just a fraction of what I got to see myself and a smaller fraction of what is there to explore. I just did not always have the camera out at the right times to capture everything in pictures. I know that I will return to the area one day and delve in a little deeper, especially on some of the walks and hikes.

The document Software Development Basics gives you an overview of the whole software development process including subjects like Software Engineering and Software Project Management in order to get the whole picture. Software development signifies the whole process to find a solution for a given problem in using appropriate methods and tools to create a software product. Software development encompasses the phases of the Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) including the use of Software Development Models. Software development does not necessarily subsume the engineering paradigm ! Software Engineering is an engineering branch associated with development of software products; using well-defined scientific principles and methods. The outcome of Software Engineering is an efficient and reliable software product. Software Engineering cares also about all the phases of Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) from requirement gathering and analysis to maintenance. It cares also about the Software Development Models. The generally accepted concepts of Software Engineering as an engineering discipline have been specified in the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK). The SWEBOK has become an internationally accepted standard ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005. Software Project Management is the art and science of planning and leading software projects. It encompasses among other elements all the phases of Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) from requirement gathering and analysis to maintenance. It includes also the Software Development Models. If you have to develop a large and complex software project, it is recommended to apply methods and use the tools for Software Project Management in order to have a controlled and guided software development process. The tasks are carried out according to the used methodologies and in a specified period of time to achieve the intended software product. The basic purpose of the Software Development Models is to provide a smooth software development process, according to the project requirements. These models are frameworks, which are used to structure, plan and control the process of developing a software product. The Software Development Models are only concerned with the software development process, so it does not involve any technical aspect of developing the software product itself. All Software Development Models follow the SDLC phases (see next chapter), but the method of execution varies vastly between models. The The Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) contains the phases in the life cycle of a software product. The SDLC phases are the “core” of software development. Usually you will apply the appropriate Software Development Model to the SDLC in order to have a smooth development of your software product. This phase is the main focus of the project managers and stake holders. It is critical to the success of the project. Expectations (whether of the client or your team) need to be fleshed out in great detail and documented. This is an iterative process with much communication taking place between stakeholders, end users and the project team. The choice of the appropriate Software Development Model like : Waterfall, Incremental, Agile, Spiral, etc is made in this phase. Technical design requirements are prepared in this phase by lead development staff that can include architects and lead developers. Technical details like database tables, transactions, security processes as well as hardware and system requirements are defined here. The choice of the programming paradigms and the programming language are made here. This phase is the actual coding by the development team. After each stage, the developer may demonstrate the work accomplished to the business analysts. Tweaks and enhancements may be required. This is normally the longest phase of the SDLC. The finished product is the input to the testing phase. Following the coding conventions helps to make code better understandable and easier to maintain. Once the application is migrated to a test environment, different types of testing will be performed including integration and system testing. User acceptance testing is the last part of testing and is performed by the end users to ensure the system meets their expectations. Once sign-off is obtained by all relevant parties, deployment can begin. The size of the project will determine the complexity of the deployment. Training may be required for end users, operations and the IT staff. Roll-out of the system may be performed in stages starting with one branch, then slowly adding all locations or it could be a full deployment. Once the customers starts using the developed system, the actual problems come up and need to be solved from time to time. This process is called maintenance. Refactoring is also a usual maintenance task. This chapter presents you some Tools and Methods for each SDLC phase. The HIPO (Hierarchical Input Process Output) diagram represents the hierarchy of modules in the software system. Analysts use HIPO diagram in order to obtain high-level view of system functions. It decomposes functions into sub-functions in a hierarchical manner. The Data Flow Diagram is a graphical representation of the flow of data in an information system. It is capable of depicting incoming data flow, outgoing data flow and stored data. The DFD does not mention anything about how data flows through the system. SADT has proven to be successful in the development of software systems, specifically in the requirements gathering phase. Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) is a diagrammatic notation designed specifically to help people describe and understand systems. It offers building blocks to represent entities and activities and a variety of arrows to relate boxes. These boxes and arrows have an associated informal semantic. SADT can be used as a functional analysis tool of a given process, using successive levels of details. The Flowchart depicts the control flow in program modules. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical language that gives a standard way to write a software system’s blueprint. It helps to visualize, specify, construct and document the artifacts of a software system. It is used to depict the structures and the relationships in a complex system. The Top-Down design (also called stepwise refinement) takes the whole software system as one entity and then decomposes it into sub-systems. Each sub-system, also called component, is then treated as a system and decomposed further. This process keeps on running until the lowest level of system in the top-down hierarchy is achieved. Pseudo Code is a non-formal language, a way to create a logical structure. It describes the actions, which will be executed by the application. Using Pseudo Code, the developer describes the application logic using his native language, without applying the structural rules of a specific programming language. Following a top-down design, the problem at hand is reduced into smaller and smaller subproblems, until only simple statements and control flow constructs remain. Nassi–Shneiderman Diagrams reflect this top-down decomposition in a straightforward way, using nested boxes to represent subproblems. Consistent with the philosophy of structured programming, Nassi–Shneiderman Diagrams have no representation for a GOTO statement. Nassi–Shneiderman Diagrams are only rarely used for formal programming. Their abstraction level is close to structured program code and modifications require the whole diagram to be redrawn. Jackson structured programming (JSP) is a method for structured programming based on correspondences between data stream structure and program structure. JSP structures programs and data in terms of sequences, iterations and selections. As a consequence it is applied when designing a program’s detailed control structure. The method applies to processing of any data structure or data stream that is describable as a hierarchical structure of sequential, optional and iterated elements. The Flowchart depicts flow of control in program modules. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical language that gives a standard way to write a software system’s blueprint. It helps to visualize, specify, construct, and document the artifacts of a software system. It is used to depict the structures and the relationships in a complex system. Source Code Editors have built in functionalities to help the programmer to write the code more efficiently and error free. Libraries are pre-built code blocks you can use in your program. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, so you can use libraries! Frameworks normally gather multiple libraries. Frameworks are reusable abstractions of code wrapped in a well-defined Application Programming Interface (API). An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a programming environment that typically consists of a source code editor, a compiler/interpreter, a debugger and other useful tools. Static Testing is a technique by which we can check for errors in software without actually executing it. Its counter-part is Dynamic Testing. Static testing is done to avoid errors at an early stage of development because it is easier to find sources of failures then failures themselves. Review is a way of static testing technique done before dynamic testing. Review is manual examination of the software product (including code) without execution of the software. Review is mostly a manual activity. Walk-Through is a form of peer review in which a programmer leads the review process. The other team members ask questions and spot possible errors against development standards and other issues. Dynamic Testing is done when the code is in operation mode. It is performed in runtime environment. When the code being executed with an input value, the result or the output of the code is checked and compared with the expected output. This allows to observe the functional behavior of the software and also to monitor the system memory, CPU response time and the performance of the system. Dynamic testing is also known as validation testing. A debugger is a computer program used by programmers to test and debug a target program. Debuggers may use instruction-set simulators, rather than running a program directly on the processor to achieve a higher level of control over its execution. This allows debuggers to stop the program according to specific conditions. An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a programming environment that consists of a source code editor, a compiler/interpreter, a debugger and other useful tools for testing software. Monitoring Software observes and tracks the operations and activities of users, applications and network services on a computer systems. This type of software provides a way to supervise the overall processes that are performed on a computing system and provides reporting services to the system and/or network administrator. The Cross Reference Generator assures that the changes in code are in compliance with the existing code. If a change is requested, this tool enables to know which other requirements, design and code components will be affected. Monitoring Software observes and tracks the operations and activities of users, applications and network services on a computer systems. This type of software provides a way to supervise the overall processes that are performed on a computing system and it provides reporting services to the system and/or network administrator. “Software Engineering” and “Software Project Management” are a kind of superstructure or umbrella for the software development process in order to have the maximum benefit (for the software product to be developed). The software engineer has to apply management aspects to his work while the project leader has to apply engineering aspects to his work. The “Software Development Models” and the “Software Development Live Cycle” are the basic structures to develop a software product efficiently.

The District Council of Yankalilla recognises the need to conserve and protect the historically significant Yankalilla Cemetery. This is a major project and community consultation is an important part of the planning process. The project team is commencing consultation to engage and draw on community knowledge and aspirations for the cemetery’s future. We are keen to get your feedback on the concept for upgrading Yankalilla Cemetery. On Wednesday 12 August 2015 a model of the architect’s concept plan will be on show in the foyer of council, 1 Charles Street Yankalilla. The consultation on this project has closed after having been on-site from 14 August 2015. A total of 40 people visited the site and 17 submissions have been received. The results from the consultation will be considered at the 15th March Council meeting. More news will be posted after Council has considered the matter further.

In the user research community the terms qualitative and quantitative are as common as the term UX itself. But often times new designers can get tripped up by the terms. Part of the confusion comes from the various, and sometime confusing applications of the terms. They can refer to the research activity (e.g qualitative study), the data from a research activity (e.g. quantitive data) and sometimes they refer to the analysis of the data from a research activity (quantitive analysis). Its no wonder non-practitioners can get confused. Fortunately, there is a simple way to keep the two concepts straight in your head. If you can grok that the term qualitative is derived from the word quality and the term quantitative is derived from the word quantity, then you’re 90% there. Quantitative data is information that can be represented and evaluated in numerical form. In other words, Quantitative data, derived from the word Quantity, can be counted and objectively measured. Qualitative data is information that is descriptive and anecdotal in nature. In other words, Qualitative data, derived from the word Quality, is subjective and preferential and cannot be objectively measured. the samples sizes used with each. The next few section provides some additional details and examples you can use to further distinguish the two concepts. Selecting one or more value(s) from a given list. Did you enjoy reading the book (yes or no)? Which of the following books are your favorite (Book A, Book B, Book C, None of the above)? On a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 = not at all and 7 = very much, please tell me how much you enjoyed reading the book. Keep in mind that this is not always the case, but as a rule of thumb, you can rely on this. Qualitative Data is typically the results of the researcher asking a research participant a set of questions that are Open-ended in nature. Opened ended questions allow the research participant to compose their own answer. How did you enjoy reading Book A? What were your favorite parts of Book A? Again, this is not always the case, but as a rule of thumb, you can rely on this. Another common difference between Quantitative and Qualitative research is in how the feedback is collected from the participants. Again, as a general rule, Quantitative research uses indirect observations, sometimes through instrumentation to collect customer data. And Qualitative research uses direct observation methods to collect customer data. Indirect observation, simply means the data is not recorded by the research, but instead the data is recorded either by a system or another individual and then reported to research later. A classic example of indirect observation is website analytics data. Through website analytics, a researcher can observe the paths users take through a website to complete a task in a natural environment. Direct observation means the researcher records the data as it is observed. A standard usability study is a classic example of direct observation. Just like the website analytics, the research can observer the path a user takes through a website to complete a task, but in an artificial environment that allow that affords the researcher opportunities to interject with questions that provide insights into the research participant’s decision making process. One of the primary drivers for the different observation methods is the samples sizes of the two different types of research. Without going into the long technical reasons and evidence for a concept known as statistical significance, I’ll just say that In order for quantitative data to be legitimate, a large enough number of participants need to be tested. The larger the number, the greater the confidence in the outcome of research. Data from large sample sizes are easier to collect through indirect observation. As such, quantitative data is typically collected through indirect observation. It would be too costly and time consuming for a researcher to attempt to collect a significant amount of data through direct observation. Because qualitative research is not based in math, but rather based on anecdotes and descriptions, smaller sample sizes are acceptable. As you can see, there are a variety of ways to consider, characterize and compare Qualitative and Quantitative research, data and analysis. But at the end of the day, the difference between Qualitative and Quantitative data all comes down to measurement of the data. Quantitative data can be counted and is easy to measure. Qualitative data cannot be counted and as such is more difficult to measure. At least, this is the easiest way to distinguish the two.

Do you wonder if you just use drugs or, rather, that you abuse drugs? Has someone close to you made a comment about you use of alcohol, cocaine, painkillers, or marijuana (or commented more than once)? This book’s purpose is to help you determine whether or not you’re progressing towards full-blow addiction or not. And it provides suggestions for how to turn things around before things get really ugly. The purpose of this book is to stop kind-of-bad behavior before it becomes really bad behavior—bad for you, your health, your job, and those in your life who care about you. Almost Addicted explains how to navigate the spectrum of addiction, explaining the differences between a potential, emerging would-be drug use problem and a devastating drug problem already in full motion. And if you’re asking these questions on behalf of someone else—wondering about your spouse or sibling’s drug use—this book will also help answer those questions as well. It will help you sort out the difference between a potential problem and less worrisome occasional drug use. Why stop using drugs if I’m not actually an addict? Why do I feel like my spouse has a drug problem, but I can’t exactly pinpoint it? What are some signs that a person is using drugs? Am I medicating my anxiety with marijuana? How do I stop my drug use from slowly turning into full-blown addiction? Part 1 A Problem Emerges from the Shadows discusses why almost-addiction is a concern and why we should care about a pre-addiction even if it’s not yet full-blown—think of it as preventative care. The authors very clearly differentiate between what a real, full-blown addict acts like and what someone who may be almost-addict acts like, making it easier to identify where on the spectrum of addiction one may presently fall. It also discusses why disengaging from being almost-addicted to substances is a good idea. Would you have more money to spend on necessities or luxuries? Would you do better at work? Would you have more time to devote to hobbies? Would any anxiety and depression you experience improve? Is your drug use a source of tension or arguments with your wife, husband, or partner? Does drug use eat into the time that you could otherwise be spending with your children? Do you use drugs as a way to avoid family responsibilities? Part 2 The Roots of Almost Addiction delves into the impact of the past on one’s present life and the correlation between mental health issues and drug use/abuse. The authors smartly point out that often times certain medical conditions may also be in play – and discuss how to navigate that double-sided coin. Those who suffer from types of depression, ADD/ADHD, trauma, as well as other challenges to the mind are more likely to struggle at some point with substance use/abuse. Part 3 Catching and Confronting Almost Addiction in Others explains the warning signs for spotting drug use/abuse, as well as how to handle your response to the discovery of the other person’s drug use. It discusses the importance of protecting one’s self emotionally, financially and physically from the drug user, such as disengaging from taking part in the cover-up, denial, and recommends focusing on your own health and well-being, including enlisting the support of others. Part 4 Solutions for Your Almost Addiction offers some smart tips for creating a life that’s full, rather than full of holes, in the absence of drugs. One chapter in particular, Time for A Change: Helping Yourself, is so very practical that it really could be the topic for a very useful follow-up book on how to recreate a life after stopping drugs. It explains how switching-up your daily routines can support your avoidance of drugs, as well as how to come up with a list of your “triggers,” so that you can proactively avoid being triggered. Essentially, having a plan for how you’ll engage your mind, body and spirit in the absence of drug use means you’ll…have a plan! No plan = misery. Does this mean new friends? You bet. At the end of the day, will you care about having ditched those people? Not one bit. I have just one criticism of Almost Addicted. I so, so wish that the section on Solutions for Your Almost Addiction had been emphasized and placed before the section Catching and Confronting Almost Addiction in Others. The book’s order of chapters subtly suggests that focusing on others’ addictions should come before focusing on one’s own, and I feel the reverse is true. It’s most productive to focus first on one’s own potential addictions — you know, put on your oxygen mask first, then help your fellow passengers. Here’s a link to the book on Amazon.com, where you’ll find this review and other reviews of the book.

Have you read these Attendify reviews and are still not sure if it’s the right fit for you? Read our reviews of all top event management software or check out one of these three Attendify competitors. Attendify is super-easy to use. It’s intuitive, so training someone new to it is a cinch. Within five minutes you can train a colleague on how to enter content into your event app and viola! They are off and running. Also, their staff are great at getting back to you. If you have a question, you will usually get an answer the same day, often times within an hour. I just wish we knew about Attendify sooner. Attendify takes an apparently overwhelming task, such as building a conference application, and makes it simple! The interface is simple and simple, without the need for coding. In the time it takes to publish a blog in WordPress, you can create an application with Attendify. I have very few cons on Attendify, but some of our assistants came to ask me about the possibility of adding their own events along with the events in the application. We are a non-profit association. Many of our assistants are also speakers. It would be nice if your personal profile and speaker profile could be connected. This software has seemed to us to be one of the most reliable, as well as easy and has a well-designed design, it does not strain your eyes nor is it a headache to experiment with it. We like the product as it is, it has no defects, in fact it is very complete and although at first we complained about the technical support that we did not like from the beginning, we have already been able to leave this thinking aside. From the beginning we did not like technical support, which was the only thing we would have liked to know before we started using the application but now they have improved their customer service. We love how good our event apps are at Attendify! We have used the product for three years and every year we received such great comments about our application. We also love how simple it is to configure and use. It has been difficult to explain the registration process to new users. Some attendees are still skeptical about the use of an application during the conference. Some do not want to install software on their phones and have opted to use the version of the website, which could use a little more functionality. It has all the features we need and it is extremely easy to configure and maintain. They have a great documentation of help and customer service. They keep in touch with me as a customer and are eager to hear new ideas. It has all the features we need and it is extremely easy to configure and maintain.

The fact that graphics can be a bit restrictive to download. It is unpredictable how an image will appear and it will be difficult to edit once it is downloaded. But otherwise, I have not found another error or surprise of the platform.

Agriculture Census forms part of a broader system of collection of Agricultural Statistics. It is a large-scale statistical operation for the collection and derivation of quantitative information about the structure of agriculture in the country. An agricultural operational holding is the ultimate unit for taking decision for development of Agriculture at micro level. It is for this reason that an operational holding is taken as the statistical unit of data collection for describing the structure of agriculture. Through Agriculture Census it is endeavored to collect basic data on important aspects of agricultural economy for all the operational holdings in the country. Aggregation of data is done at various levels of administrative units. Periodic Agriculture Censuses are important as these are the main source of information on basic characteristics of operational holdings such as land use and cropping patterns, irrigation status, tenancy particulars and the terms of leasing. This information is tabulated by different size classes and social groups including Scheduled Castes / Scheduled Tribes which are needed for development planning, socio-economic policy formulation and establishment of national priorities. The census also provides the basis for the development of a comprehensive integrated national system of agricultural statistics and has links with various components of the national statistical system. The whole project of Agriculture Census in the country is implemented in three distinct phases, which are statistically linked together but focus on different aspects of agricultural statistics. In Phase-I, a list of holdings with their area and social characteristics and gender of the holders is prepared. In Phase-II, detailed data on agricultural characteristics of holdings are collected from selected villages. Thus the whole operation of Agriculture Census in India is not really a complete Census. In fact, it is a combination of Census and Sample Survey.

Reads a file that contains ASCII representations of basic data types. Full or relative path needed to locate ASCII file. A scalar or one-dimensional array specifying the dimension sizes of the data to be read. As of version 6.0.0, dimensions can be of type int or long. A string representing the type of the data being read. The asciiread function is used to read ASCII data. If datatype is a numeric type, then non-numeric characters are ignored and the numbers are read in the order they appear in the input file. However, note that for the float and double types, the string 'nan' (any case) is read as a valid numerical value. For all the integer types, the prefix '0x' or '0X' signifies a value represented in hexadecimal (base 16). For the 'byte' type only, the prefix '0', not followed by 'x' or 'X', signifies a value represented in octal (base 8). All numeric types require require a separator. A separator is a non-numeric character [eg, space, comma, alphabetic character]. For string data, each line of the file is read as a string. For character data, the file is read byte-by-byte. An error message is generated whenever the number of elements read is less than the number implied by the dimensions parameter. If -1 is given for the dimensions parameter, all values in the file will be read into a one-dimensional variable. The dimension size of this variable will be equal to the number of elements in the file. In version 6.0.0, we fixed a notable quirk in this function: if dimensions was set to explicit dimension sizes, then a _FillValue attribute was returned, equal to the default fill value for that type. If dimensions was equal to -1, then a _FillValue attribute was NOT returned. Several functions located in contributed.ncl provide additional flexibility for reading ascii files. Consider an ASCII file ("sample.file") that consists of three "header" lines followed by the data array of interest. This file is best read using the readAsciiTable function. However, this example is offered to illustrate how one can read the file directly via the asciiread and ndtooned functions. but this 2nd line has 3 numbers: 10, 30, 50. and a blank line. Consider an ASCII file ("numberByte_ascii.file") that consists of three rows. Each row has 30 numbers. Unseen at the end of each line is an end-of-line character. Each number is to be interpreted as a numeric type "byte". The file can not be directly read as numeric bytes because all numeric types require a non-numeric separator. Also, the 'hidden' end-of-line character complicates the situation. Use of charactertoshort and stringtocharacter can be used to get the desired type "short" or "byte". The following code snippet will result in each numeric value being separated. The "ncol+1" is to account for the hidden end-of-line character. The "zero_offset" variable is used to 'normalize' the integer character representation to numeric ibtegers. Printing as byte is done as hexadecimal. The numbers are the same.

Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo crashed on Friday 31 October during a test flight in California’s Mojave Desert, killing one of the two crewmembers. It is early and premature to make any hypothesis about what went wrong with SpaceShipTwo, but this accident is a wake up call to the industry about how dangerous it is to run a business involving the safety of so many people – crews, paying customers, spaceport personnel, and even the public at large – in a regime of silence and lack of transparency. The accident itself, the first fatality of the newly established space tourism industry, is likely to set back Virgin’s plan to carry paying customers to space for quite a while. An inappropriate response to the crisis from Virgin Galactic, however, is more likely to kill the industry once and for all. At the time of the accident, there are hundreds of people who paid a deposit towards the $250,000 required for a flight that promises a 5-minutes space experience. Virgin’s approach towards the crisis resulting from the accident will determine how many of them will stick to their original plan. Virgin Galactic’s original plan to begin operations by the end of the first decade of the millennium has been postponed several times, without ever disclosing the reasons behind such delays. In reality, in aviation a tail stall is a very dangerous event that reveals a shortcoming of the vehicle. Senior space journalist Leonard David, who investigated the matter a little bit further, collected the comments of an observer who said bluntly that the craft “dropped like a rock and went straight down.” The witness, however, remained anonymous, and Leonard’s article was one of the few ones about the accidents that made it to the press. The only thing that is know for sure is that it took Scaled Composites more than a year to address the issue and return the vehicle to test flight, and that by 2014 they were not significantly closer to start operations. A testing plan, even an aggressive one, is always designed with the intent to preserve the lives of the people involved. We believe that Virgin Galactic and Scaled Composites never had the intent put the lives of their crew in danger. But “Space is hard” is a very poor statement to release in face of the death of a man. The family of the victims, as well as Virgin Galactic’s paying customers, deserve to know more about a “serious anomaly” that killed “one of the two Scaled Composites pilots.” And no, “space is hard” is not an excuse. In the video below, Stuart Witt, CEO of Mojave Air and Space Port, releases a statement about the accident in a press release. Just a few days ago, an Antares rocket exploded five seconds after liftoff. The event, which was televised live on NASA TV, left the commenter speechless. A few hours after the incident, Orbital formed a permanent Accident Investigation Board, under the supervision of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), that included company officials along with representatives from NASA and the National Transport Safety Board (NTSB). Orbital Sciences, a company with a history and reputation in the space business, handled the crisis very transparently and professionally. Not one of their statements read like “space is hard, and rockets explode,” and there is a good reason for this. The launch of Orbital’s Cygnus cargo vehicle is ultimately financed on taxpayer money, and a serious investigation, with independent supervision from well-established external authorities, is a necessary step for them to regain their credibility. We hope Virgin Galactic will take similar steps to disclose the full extent of the problem, and reveal enough of the measures taken to prevent fatal accidents from happening again. Space activities are inherently risky, as launch failures, space disasters, and close calls have shown in over 60 years of spaceflight history. We are sure that people who desire to go to space are willing to take some risk. But they have the right to be informed about the nature of the risk, and must be reassured with facts, and not with words, that everything is being done to make sure they will come back alive. An embarrassing mistake: thanks for pointing it out!

We calculate the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments associated with the radiative Omega(Q)* -> Omega(Q)gamma and Xi(Q)* -> Xi(Q)'gamma transitions with Q = b or c in the framework of light cone QCD sum rules. It is found that the corresponding quadrupole moments are negligibly small, while the magnetic dipole moments are considerably large. A comparison of the results of the considered multi-pole moments as well as corresponding decay widths with the predictions of the vector dominance model is performed.

The Selenga Pulp & Paper Company operates a zero discharge unbleached Kraft Mill. Located in an enviromnentally sensitive area, the operation is situated on the Selenga River, about 60 kilometers from the south shore of Lake Baikal. The Selenga River is the largest source of water for Lake Baikal, a lake considered by Russians as a natural resource jewel. Lake Baikal is one of the worlds deepest and cleanest lakes and contains one fifth of the worlds fresh water, more water than the Great Lakes combined. Until 1990, the Selenga Pulp & Paper Co. was considered one of the major polluters of the river. However, in August 1990, the mill began effluent recycling. This was accomplished by activated sludge technology in conjunction with chemical - physical treatment. The mill, in partnership with Sibgiprobum, a design institute for the Siberian pulp and paper industry developed the closed cycle system. The regulatory history, and treatment plant design will be reviewed in this paper.

Doha fears that under the influence of the Saudi-led bloc, the US could withdraw its massive Al Udeid air basefrom Qatar, making the tiny state vulnerable to invasion from bigger neighbors. While courting those who facilitate and justify Israel’s crimes against Palestinians in Washington, Qatar presents itself as one of the key supporters of Palestinians under siege in Gaza. Qatar funds projects and provides aid to the territory that has been under a devastating Israeli siege for more than a decade.

Why is the Pyramid Model being used instead of a different social emotional curriculum? The Pyramid Model is not a social emotional curriculum. It is a framework for supporting children’s social emotional competence. This framework consists of universal supports for all children to promote wellness, targeted services to those who need more support, and intensive services to those who need them. How can I learn more about the Pyramid Model? You can attend one of the workshops offered by Nevada TACSEI.
