3. THE ORIGIN OF THE PEARLS.
3.1 Geographical Origins
Our natural mustika pearls and bezoars are harvested by wise and skilled shamans and spiritualists in the regions of South East Asia, Malaysia and deep within the vast and remote jungles found within the Indonesian archipelago – sought out specifically from the native plants and animals. A percentage of our pearls are also obtained from a diverse array of sea creatures that call this region home.
3.2 Physical Origins
Mustika pearls and bezoar stones are natural by-products composed of natural minerals and elements. Bezoar stones, as we've already learned, are natural wild-life by-products, usually formed as a result of abnormal dietary or digestive conditions. These conditions set the stage for the ultimate formation of these precious treasures.
Essentially, the process involves two stages. The first stage begins while the animal is alive. Hydrochloric Acid (Ph 1) reacts with the bezoar stone – agitating and aiding development. Stage two takes place after the animal has died, when the bezoar stone is exposed to something known as butyric acid, a compound that's ONLY developed during the late stages of decomposition.
After extensive study and research, it's been discovered that, in theory, both mustika pearls and bezoars can be formed from silica – a naturally created and occurring glass-like substance. Indeed, stomach bezoars are, for the most part, primarily formed of silica. Bezoar stones can also form in humans – especially people who've taken certain antacids over an extended period of time.
A similar process results in the formation of plant based bezoars and mustikas. However, there are some varieties of pearls (like Cloud pearls and Sea pearls) that form in a more mysterious manner that makes it much more difficult to determine the actual formation process.
Such an instance includes stones and pearls believed to be formed by etheric creatures like dragons, fairies and other elementals. The formation of these stones has only been described by Pawangs (indigenous shamans) who've been fortunate enough to literally witness them created out of nothing, right before their very eyes.
According to these eye-witness accounts, the process unfolds something like this…
Imagine that you're walking through a forest, along a shoreline or atop a mountain. Suddenly, right before you, a strange mist materializes literally out of nowhere. As you study this mist, you notice that it's beginning to thicken. As it continues to condense, you see that a jelly-like substance is beginning to form. Almost instantly, this amorphous material hardens into a solid and a Dragon pearl is born.
Of course, this is merely one account of the formation of a single pearl. To assume that ALL Dragon pearls form (or are found) in this fashion, however, assuming that this process is the same for all pearls just isn't realistic.
Oftentimes, these pawangs are led to this discovery in any number of ways, including clairvoyance, psychometric powers, and magickal rites and rituals. In instances like these, the pearl may have already formed, and the pawing is supernaturally led to the discovery. How it actually arrives remains a mysterious unknown.
3.3 Materials & Composition
Due in part to the details we've already covered, you may notice that many mustika pearls and bezoar stones have a crystalline design or an opaque form. Several of these stones and pearls bear gem-like qualities, such as crystalline shape and structure, with the capability to refract light through their dense molecular make-up when held up to the light. In fact, most can transmit light.
Stones and pearls can also contain a wide variety of other minerals, elements and compounds. Because they often contain calcium carbonate crystals, bezoars and mustikas are officially classified as mineraloids, due to the fact that these crystals are bonded together with organic materials, with no definite ratios or proportions of the individual components.
Another compound that forms the basis for many bezoars is silicon dioxide. In addition to being an inorganic chemical compound (much like sand, salt or iron for example), silicon dioxide is also a key component in the formation of fossils. A host of natural chemicals are composed of silicon dioxide, and there are a variety of rocks and stones in the natural world made up entirely of silicon dioxide. The majority of these are totally natural and can often be found both in the bodies of diverse animals, as well as hidden away within their dens.
It should come as no surprise that these same environments can supply mustika pearls in abundance.
3.4 Silicon & Silicon Dioxide
Silicon is the second most abundant element found on the earth – second only to oxygen. 25.7% of our planet's crust is made up of silicon. Due to this abundance, silicon is an essential element in biology, despite the fact that animals only require small trace amounts in their diets.
However, silicon is much more essential to healthy plant metabolism – especially grasses. According to the results of a study published by the Mineralogical Society of America, in the year 1928 alone, as many as 35 crystalline forms of silica (meaning silicon paired with oxygen) were identified.
To understand the diverse manifestation of silica based compounds and minerals, it helps to know that silica is something known as a polymorphous substance. This results in a variety of possible crystalline structures that is practically infinite.
Categorizing silica as a polymorph means that it's capable of crystallizing into a number of different shapes and structures. These different polymorphous structures will have different and unique atomic arrangements within the cell unit. These variations can have a profound effect on the final resulting crystallized compound. This occurs through a process known as polymorphic transformation.
This process is a change that takes place when crystal structures encounter other crystals of the same chemical composition. The resulting unique crystal structures are called polymorphs, which goes to show that various crystal structures are dependent on two very important factors: external temperature and pressure.
Thanks to these characteristics, it's much easier to understand why silica is such an essential element in the composition of my rock-forming minerals. Due to silica's polymorphic properties, its elemental crystalline structures can be found in a multitude of forms. As a matter of fact, many popular rocks and minerals (quartz crystals and sand, sandstone, quartzite, opal, agate and onyx) are just a few forms that silica can take on.
Additionally, modifications of external pressure and temperature not only determine the crystalline structure of the resulting compound, but also their colour. Silica-based rocks and gems can be found in a variety of colours, including:
- Smoky quartz
- Yellow quartz
- Rose quartz &
- Milky quartz
3.5 Soluble Silica in Plants & Animals
In theory, we believe that it's entirely possible that our magickal pearls and stones also contain some form of crystalline silica structures, which would place them in the same unique category of other forms of silica.
In response to silica's shape shifting tendencies and the process of polymorphism, it's likely that other, yet unknown forms of silica are capable of springing into existence under other atmospheric pressures and conditions. Because new scientific and geological discoveries are made each and every day, you can't come to the conclusion that ALL forms of silica have already been identified – at least not yet, anyhow.
Since polymorphism is a natural phenomenon with a rather spontaneous nature, there are an infinite number of potential manifestations of silica – many of which may yet lie undiscovered.
Silica makes its way into animals through the food that they eat (generally vegetation) and through the water they drink. In plants, silica is absorbed through the root system and accumulated within their foundational cellular structure.
Like many other minerals, silica appears in both the form of a solid as well as in a soluble liquid form known as soluble silica. The paradox is that both of these forms of silica are constantly striving to actually become each other. For instance, soluble silica is constantly being precipitated out of the water, while solid silica is continuously eroded down by water.
As a part of this cycle, when plant roots grow and penetrate deep into the soil, soluble silica (and other minerals) present in the groundwater are taken in and absorbed as nutrients. As this occurs, silica is deposited in between cells, between cell walls – even inside the cells themselves. These silica deposits don't harm the plants in any way. Instead, it increases the density of the plant ever so slightly and can occasionally even benefit the plant and its leaves by providing them with a more erect posture that actually increases their ability to absorb sunlight.
Where the silica deposits occur and accumulate will depend entirely upon the species of plant in question. Deposits have been found in roots, leaves, stems, branches, trunks and fruit and can even accumulate in much smaller spaces like hair follicles and skin cells. Abnormalities in plant growth (much like the digestive abnormalities that spawn bezoar stones) can result in significant amounts of silica coming together, creating an even larger more solid substance. This substance (either in part or in its entirety) is what works to form mustika pearls.
As we've already learned, these formations aren't restricted to plants, but occur in the Animal Kingdom as well. Since silica isn't a digestible substance, it has no choice but to remain within the animal's body in its solid form. Soluble silica, while it is able to transfer between cells and cell walls, still accumulates inside of the body, constantly attracting additional silica and growing in size as well.
In theoretical terms, this is likely how mustikas form inside of various living things.


Windows Sandbox configuration
Windows Sandbox supports simple configuration files, which provide a minimal set of customization parameters for Sandbox. This feature can be used with Windows 10 build 18342 or later. Windows Sandbox configuration files are formatted as XML and are associated with Sandbox via the .wsb file extension.
A configuration file enables the user to control the following aspects of Windows Sandbox:
 - vGPU (virtualized GPU): Enable or disable the virtualized GPU. If vGPU is disabled, the sandbox will use Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP).
 - Networking: Enable or disable network access within the sandbox.
 - Mapped folders: Share folders from the host with read or write permissions. Note that exposing host directories may allow malicious software to affect the system or steal data.
 - Logon command: A command that's executed when Windows Sandbox starts.
 - Audio input: Shares the host's microphone input into the sandbox.
 - Video input: Shares the host's webcam input into the sandbox.
 - Protected client: Places increased security settings on the RDP session to the sandbox.
 - Printer redirection: Shares printers from the host into the sandbox.
 - Clipboard redirection: Shares the host clipboard with the sandbox so that text and files can be pasted back and forth.
 - Memory in MB: The amount of memory, in megabytes, to assign to the sandbox.
Creating a configuration file
To create a simple configuration file:
 1. Open a plain text editor or source code editor (e.g. Notepad, Visual Studio Code, etc.)
 2. Insert the following lines:
 <Configuration>
 </Configuration>

 3. Add appropriate configuration text between the two lines. For details, see the correct syntax and the examples below.
 4. Save the file with the desired name, but make sure its filename extension is .wsb. In Notepad, you should enclose the filename and the extension inside double quotation marks, e.g. "My config file.wsb".
Using a configuration file
To use a configuration file, double-click it to start Windows Sandbox according to its settings. You can also invoke it via the command line as shown here:
C:\Temp> MyConfigFile.wsb
Keywords, values, and limits
vGPU
Enables or disables GPU sharing.
<vGPU>value</vGPU>

While the Covid-19 downturn has seen widespread job losses in the oil and gas industry, energy intelligence firm Rystad Energy says demand for offshore wind staff will triple by the end of the decade.
From an estimated 297,000 full-time jobs in 2020, Rystad is expecting the offshore wind sector to employ around 868,000 full-time workers by the end of the decade.
Rystad bases its estimates on offshore wind installed capacity reaching 250 GW by 2030.
"This prolific growth will require a lot of skilled employees. In our analysis we have calculated the staffing needs in the number of full-time equivalent workers – one year of full-time employment for one person regardless of actual hours – and included only direct and indirect jobs driven by offshore wind capacity deployment globally," the company explained.
Direct jobs relate to development manufacturing, construction, installation, and the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms, while indirect jobs relate to materials and services consumed such as workers in steel plants supporting offshore wind turbines, electronics workers at companies supplying nacelle components, and staff of renewable energy regulatory institutions.
"Oil and gas workers will also benefit from this expected growth in offshore wind employment globally, as they share some skills sets and essential offshore knowledge. Offshore wind areas such as foundation manufacturing, offshore construction, project development, and O&M have been highly relevant to oil and gas operations," said Alexander Fløtre, Rystad Energy's product manager for offshore wind.

Description
This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform.
The Stop-Service cmdlet sends a stop message to the Windows Service Controller for each of the specified services. You can specify the services by their service names or display names, or you can use the InputObject parameter to pass a service object that represents the service that you want to stop.
Examples
Example 1: Stop a service on the local computer
PS C:\> Stop-Service -Name "sysmonlog"
This command stops the Performance Logs and Alerts (SysmonLog) service on the local computer.
Example 2: Stop a service by using the display name
PS C:\> Get-Service -DisplayName "telnet" | Stop-Service
This command stops the Telnet service on the local computer. The command uses Get-Service to get an object that represents the Telnet service. The pipeline operator (|) pipes the object to Stop-Service, which stops the service.
Example 3: Stop a service that has dependent services
PS C:\> Get-Service -Name "iisadmin" | Format-List -Property Name, DependentServices
PS C:\> Stop-Service -Name "iisadmin" -Force -Confirm
This example stops the IISAdmin service on the local computer. Because stopping this service also stops the services that depend on the IISAdmin service, it is best to precede Stop-Service with a command that lists the services that depend on the IISAdmin service.
The first command lists the services that depend on IISAdmin. It uses Get-Service to get an object that represents the IISAdmin service. The pipeline operator (|) passes the result to the Format-List cmdlet. The command uses the Property parameter of Format-List to list only the Name and DependentServices properties of the service.
The second command stops the IISAdmin service. The Force parameter is required to stop a service that has dependent services. The command uses the Confirm parameter to request confirmation from the user before it stops each service.

Nesting ecology of Pied Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta in Sfax salina, Tunisia
AbstractEven though Sfax salina in Tunisia hosts a significant part of the Mediterranean population of Pied Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta, data on the breeding ecology of this species in this area are lacking. Such data are nonetheless necessary, not only for the understanding of the ecology and dynamics of this species in general, but also for conservation purposes. In this paper we use the results of a one-year monitoring of nests in Sfax salina to provide information on its nesting parameters, in particular nesting phenology, colony size and hatching success. Our results show that Pied Avocets formed dense colonies at the beginning of the nesting season, but colony size decreased as the nesting season advanced. Clutch size varied between 1 and 7 eggs, similar to other Mediterranean and European populations. Hatching success, estimated by the Mayfield method, was relatively low, mainly due to predation by stray dogs. Overall, our work shows that relatively high nest losses occur here. It also highlights the need for management efforts aiming to enhance the reproductive success in this artificial habitat. Creation of suitable and safe nesting sites is proposed.

Material and Method: The research has employed an experimental method. The standard strain of solobacterium moorei bacteria was cultured in a liquid medium (BHI), incubated for 48 hours at 37°C and 10% CO2, and then, the number of bacteria in the liquid medium was diluted to a standard concentration of 1McFarland. The colonies randomly assigned to five groups. In the first group, the control of sterile absorbent paper points was prepared in 50μl bacterial suspension. Initially, it was immersed for 2 minutes, placed on an empty sterile plate, and immersed in sterile physiologic serum. After 30 minutes, all paper points were removed from the plate, immersed in 7ml of Broth letheen medium, and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The 810nm diode laser was expose to the second experimental group and the 940nm diode laser was expose to the third experimental group for 10 seconds with 200mv power. Two types of antimicrobials including Chlorhexidine 0.2% and sodium hypochlorite 2.5% were used in the fourth and fifth groups, respectively. Finally, CFU rates were set through standard and bacterial counting methods. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS-20 software and Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests. Results: The CFU of solobacterium moorei was significantly reduced in all the interventional groups (p> 0.05). The reduction of solobacterium moorei in the sodium hypochlorite group, chlorhexidine group, 810nm diode laser group, and 940nm diode laser group were 93%, 92%, 80%, and 60% respectively. Conclusion: According to the research results among different interventions, sodium hypochlorite had the highest effect and 940nm diode laser had the least effect on reducing of Solobacterium moorei M3 10.52547/jrds.18.2.90 ER -

Despite a week-long field investigation by forestry experts from Hanoi, the causes of unusual Acacia mangium seedling damage that occurred in the project pilot site (Ta Leng Site) in 2012 are still largely unknown, but several recommendations have been made for successful afforestation in 2013.
The Damage Begun
In the summer of 2012, the project supported tree planting in five villages in its pilot sites in Dien Bien Phu City, Dien Bien District, and Dien Bien Dong District with provision of around 193,000 A. mangium seedlings. The planting was preceded by a simple training course on tree planting techniques for the villagers. However, after the planting, the villagers claimed that many of the A. mangium seedlings were damaged, provably by grasshoppers, particularly in two villages, namely Na Nghe and Ke Nenh in Dien Bien Phu City. According to the local authority, the damage on A. mangium seedlings was "not very common" in the past although it was occasionally observed in the province.
The Initial Investigation by the City Authority
Immediately after the damage was reported, on 1 August 2012, the Dien Bien Phu City People's Committee invited specialists from several local organizations to observe the sites and investigate the causes of the damage. Although these specialists could suggest various possible reasons, they could not identify neither conclusive evidences nor practical countermeasures at that time. As a result, they could only agree on the replacement of dead seedlings with another species (Manglietia sp.).
However, the damage was continuously reported in the other village (Phieng Bua) in Ta Leng Site in Dien Bien Phu City. The project thus commissioned an investigative study on A. mangium seedling damage in the pilot site to a group of scientists from the Vietnam Academy of Forest Science (VAFS) in Hanoi in October 2012.
The Investigation by VAFS
A total of 58 households in four sample villages, including the three villages mentioned earlier and Phieng Ban Village in Dien Bien District (that had not experienced serious damage to their seedlings), 14 stakeholders, and 114 sample plots (100m2 each) were interviewed or surveyed during the a week-long field investigation for in mid October 2012. The result of the sample plot shows that 55.9% of the planted seedlings had been dead while 37.6% of the seedlings had been survived by the time of the survey in Ta Leng Site. This result is quite contrasting with that of Phieng Ban that recorded around 70.1% survival rate although 25.6% still experienced death.
As for the reasons for the seedlings' death in the three villages in Dien Bien Phu City, the sample plot survey could not conclude on the causes of such for most (92.2%) of the seedlings due to the late organization of the field survey (i.e., little evidence remaining in the field). However, remaining evidences show that the damage or death might have come from rats (4.4%), grasshoppers (1.0%), humans (0.9%), termites (0.8%), and others.
The interview results with village households present a little contrasting picture of the causes. Among the interviewed households in the same three villages, crickets were the most commonly mentioned reason (32.4%), seconded by termites (30.4%). Other claimed reasons for the damage/death were grasshoppers (27.1%), rats (26.8%), cattle (5.0%), and humans (2.5%).
Although the study was not conclusive on the causes of the seedling damage or death, the report came up with a set of recommendations including direct control such as application of chemicals and indirect control including better selection of planting tree species (with due consideration to the altitude), improved weeding, capacity building of participant households, supplementary planting, and adoption of planting schedule against reproduction cycle of these insects.
Based on these recommendations and through the discussion with the government counterparts in the provincial, district and commune levels, the project is planning to undertake the tree planting earlier with larger seedlings in 2013.

Recognizing and treating respiratory infections in pet turtles
© Neale Monks 2007, Wet Web Media
Respiratory tract infections (often abbreviated to RI or RTI by hobbyists and vets) are quite commonly observed in pet turtles exposed to cold air. The symptoms are distinctive, so that identifying a respiratory tract infection is generally not difficult. Treatment is only possible using systemic antibiotics administered by a veterinarian surgeon. Prevention is not difficult and depends largely on providing pet turtles with adequately warm living conditions.
Several different symptoms are typically associated with respiratory tract infections.
Laboured breathing, with audible wheezing in advanced cases.
Mouth kept open and the head held upwards.
Runny nose: excessive mucous production from the nose (rhinitis).
Mucous leaks from the mouth, sometimes forming bubbles when the turtle is on dry land.
Sneezing and coughing.
In addition, turtles suffering from a respiratory tract infection will also show the following symptoms:
Lack of appetite, eventually followed by weight loss.
Unusual activity patterns; often lethargy, but also listlessness.
Aquatic turtles lose balance while swimming.
Any turtle showing signs of respiratory distress such as wheezing or rhinitis should be taken to a vet for examination. The diagnosis is usually confirmed using a choanal swab to sample the mucous that collects at the back of the mouth. This will also allow the vet to determine the best treatment, which will depend on the causative pathogen.
Similar diseases
The flu-like symptoms of respiratory tract infections in turtles are very distinctive and not easily confused with any other common reptile disease. However, poisoning may sometimes cause similar symptoms.
Bacteria in the lungs, trachea and nose are most commonly found in respiratory tract infections, in particular Aeromonas and Pseudomonas spp. Other bacteria can also be present as can, in rare case, fungi. The sample taken by the choanal swab will be used to determine the pathogen (or mix of pathogens) involved and from that the vet will choose the most appropriate medication.
The fluid that collects in the lungs as a result of the infection causes respiratory distress. Infected turtles find it difficult to breathe. The fluid in the lungs also makes it difficult for aquatic turtles to swim properly because their buoyancy is altered.
Left untreated, respiratory tract infections can lead to septicaemia. Initially mild respiratory tract infections can also develop into potentially very serious pneumonia. Always remember that untreated respiratory tract infections are usually fatal, particularly where small turtles are concerned.
Causative factors
Respiratory tract infections are most frequently caused by cold air or chilling. Respiratory tract infections are particularly common when turtles are kept in unheated or draughty vivaria.
Other prime causes of respiratory tract infections include insufficient Vitamin A in the diet (hypovitaminosis A), chronic malnutrition, and unhygienic living conditions. Respiratory tract infections can also develop concurrently with other infections.
Treatment consists of improving living conditions while administering a systemic antibiotic. There are no off-the-shelf treatments for respiratory tract infections. The antibiotics most often use are aminoglycoside antibiotics such as amikacin, but this will vary depending on the precise diagnosis. Antibiotics may be administered parenterally (i.e., by injection, typically intramuscularly) and/or with a nebuliser (i.e., as a vapour through the nose).
While the turtle is being treated it is normal to elevate the temperature of the living enclosure to the high end of the preferred range for the species in question. This serves two purposes. Firstly, it stimulates the immune system, helping the turtle fight off the infection. Secondly, it keeps the mucous within the respiratory system more mobile, reducing the congestion and making it easier for the turtle to get rid of excess mucous by sneezing or coughing.
It is very important to ensure that the turtle's nose and mouth are kept clean. Mucous and saliva should be wiped away using a damp tissue or swab.
Living conditions must be optimised as well. Ensure that the turtle has access to a basking site with a UV-B lamp, a balanced diet with lots of vitamin-rich green foods, and clean water. Vitamin supplements are highly recommended. Some vets will administer vitamin supplements as part of the treatment.
Some turtles may go off their food when sick, in which case force-feeding will be required if the turtle has already lose a substantial amount of body weight. Force-feeding animals is never easy and done clumsily can cause more harm than good. Discuss a suitable method and what foods to use with your vet. Do not improvise!
Since hobbyists can do nothing to treat respiratory tract infections without veterinary help, prevention is critically important. By far the most common cause of respiratory tract infections in pet turtles is cold, either though not being in a warmed enclosure at all, or else by being exposed to cold draughts that blow through the otherwise adequately heated vivarium.
All turtle vivaria should have a secure hood that keeps out draughts but still lets in sufficient air for proper ventilation of the living space underneath. Open-topped vivaria are not an option where air temperature is below the optimum living conditions of the turtle being kept.
LCD thermometers are a cheap and convenient way to ensure your turtles are adequately warm. Place one against the watery side of the vivarium below the waterline, and another nearer the top of the tank above the waterline. These will measure the water and air temperatures respectively. Obviously terrestrial turtles (tortoises) will only need a single thermometer that measures air temperature.
Though the optimal temperature range will vary with the species being kept, the popular red-ear slider Trachemys scripta elegans needs a water temperature of about 25-28Ë°C/77-82Ë°F and an air temperature of not less than 20Ë°C/68Ë°F. Terrestrial turtles typically need air temperatures between 20-25Ë°C/68-77Ë°F.
Vitamin A is critically important to the health of captive turtles. A well balanced diet should provide adequate levels of Vitamin A, but there are also many different types of commercially available supplement that can be used as necessary.

What are the implications of crop lodging?
According to John Nix's guide, the gross margin on a crop of feed wheat is £656/ha. Early lodging at ear emergence can result in up to 75% yield loss. In financial terms, this is a cost of almost £500/ha. We want to help you to reduce your lodging risk and maximise your profitability.
So how can I reduce my lodging risk?
Crop Variety
Varieties have different resistance to lodging scores as each variety demonstrates differences in terms of growth habit (height, tillering capacity, stem strength and speed of establishment). Varieties with a score of 7 or less on the Recommended Lists should be considered at risk of lodging. Be sure to check the Recommended Lists on the HGCA website.
Drilling Date
Earlier drilled crops can produce heavier ears which have a higher yield potential. These heavy ears put weight on the stem, meaning a crop with higher yield potential is more likely to lodge. It has been estimated that each tonne per hectare above 9 t/ha reduces the resistance to lodging score by 0.5 points. As a result, delaying drilling can be a useful cultural control to help reduce lodging risk.
Nitrogen Applications
The AHDB Nutrient Management Guide is a great place to start to understand your nitrogen (N)requirements [link:]. Residual nitrogen in the soil from previous crops can significantly affect lodging risk by creating thick, dense canopies that are more prone to stem lodging. Delayed and reduced applications of nitrogen can help to manage canopy size and reduce lodging risk.
Plant Population
A high seed rate can increase the risk of root lodging, where the plant's rooting structure is insufficient to hold it upright against the leverage of the rest of the plant. Reducing the seed rate can help to reduce lodging risk, as well as disease risk.
Spring Rolling
Weather permitting, spring rolling can help to consolidate soils, creating a better structure for plant roots to anchor into. Spring rolling should occur before GS30 to avoid crop damage.
PGR applications
A good plant growth regulator, such as Canopy or Medax Max will reduce plant height, improve rooting and increase straw strength. All of these agronomic benefits help to reduce lodging risk. What's more, with two active ingredients, BASF PGRs are fast acting and reliable at a range of growth stages and temperatures.

A modern business runs via computer, and more and more business devices are laptops instead of desktops. They're great for portability, but one issue they sometimes suffer from is overheating. An overheated laptop can shut down automatically to prevent damage, which often results in a loss of work. In some cases, the device can break completely when it is allowed to overheat.
So, you should understand that keeping your company's laptops from overheating is important. Here are just a few ways to protect them.
Have Your Devices Cleaned
Laptops use internal fans to cool themselves. Unfortunately, intake grilles and exhaust ports often suck in dust. That dust coats internal components, trapping heat, and clogs the fan. You can open up your laptops by yourself, but it's a lot easier and safer to have them professionally serviced once every few months.
Keep Work Devices on Hard, Flat Surfaces
The cool air your laptop's fan sucks in to cool internal components usually comes through the base, which is great if you keep your laptop on a hard, flat surface. However, plenty of people still place their devices on less even surfaces. This impairs the flow of cool air, so heat builds up. Even worse, the fan needs to keep working harder to pull in air, so it may break itself.
Use Laptop Coolers or Pads
One of the most practical ways of preventing overheating is providing your employees with laptop coolers or cooling pads. Coolers are trays or stands with additional fans included, while cooling pads simply keep the surface your laptop is resting on from heating up.
Research Software Fixes
Finally, make sure you consider possible software issues. Excessive heat is usually caused by an overactive CPU, so you might be able to avoid it simply by reducing the CPU clock speed of your company devices or using less intensive software.

A young Wald
October 31, 1902|
|Died||December 13, 1950
Cowles Commission for Research in Economics
|Alma mater||University of Vienna|
|Doctoral advisor||Karl Menger|
|Doctoral students||Meyer Girshick
|Known for||Wald's equation
Sequential probability ratio test
John von Neumann
Abraham Wald (Hungarian: Wald Ábrahám, October 31, 1902 – December 13, 1950 ) was a mathematician born in Cluj, in the then Austria–Hungary (present-day Romania) who contributed to decision theory, geometry, and econometrics, and founded the field of statistical sequential analysis. He spent his researching years at Columbia University.
Life and career
Being a religious Jew, he could not attend school on Saturdays, as was required at the time by the Hungarian school system, and was thus home-schooled by his parents until college. His parents were quite knowledgeable and competent as teachers.
Despite Wald's brilliance, he could not obtain a university position, because of Austrian discrimination against Jews. However, Oskar Morgenstern created a position for Wald in economics. When the Nazis invaded Austria in 1938, the discrimination against Jews intensified. In particular, Wald and his family were persecuted as Jews. Wald was able to emigrate to the United States, at the invitation of the Cowles Commission for Research in Economics, to work on econometrics research.
Wald applied his statistical skills in World War II to the problem of bomber losses to enemy fire. A study had been made of the damage to returning aircraft and it had been proposed that armor be added to those areas that showed the most damage. Wald's unique insight was that the holes from flak and bullets on the bombers that did return represented the areas where they were able to take damage. The data showed that there were similar patches on each returning bomber where there was no damage from enemy fire, leading Wald to conclude that these patches were the weak spots that led to the loss of a plane if hit, and that must be reinforced. This is still considered today seminal work in the then-fledgling discipline of operational research.
Following his death, Wald was attacked by Sir Ronald A. Fisher FRS. Fisher attacked Wald for being a mathematician without scientific experience who had written an incompetent book on statistics. Fisher particularly criticized Wald's work on the design of experiments, alleging ignorance of the basic ideas of the subject, as set out by Fisher and Frank Yates. Wald's work was defended by Jerzy Neyman in the following year. Neyman explained Wald's work, particularly with respect to the design of experiments. Lucien Le Cam credits in his own book, Asymptotic Methods in Statistical Decision Theory, The ideas and techniques used reflect first and foremost the influence of Abraham Wald's writings.
Abraham Wald was the father of noted American physicist Robert Wald.

Urinating Swimmers Blamed for Dead Fish

By Myles Collier, Christian Post Contributor
May 15, 2012|3:10 pm
German officials have banned locals from entering a lake in northern Germany while they determine if reports of swimmers urinating in the lake have caused the lakes fish to die.
Eichbaum Lake is currently being studied by researchers who believe that a large amount of human urine is responsible for an algae bloom that killed off an estimated 500 fish.
"Swimmers who urinate in the lake are introducing a lot of phosphate" that can lead to algae blooms, a spokesman for the Hamburger Angling Association told Bild newspaper.
"We're calculating half a liter of urine per swimmer per day," he said.
Swimmers are currently banned from the lake due to the high levels of algae, but the city's Urban Development and Environment Authority (BSU) is trying to re-open the lake to swimmers by the time the summer season starts.
In order to identify exactly what is causing the fish to die off, the BSU is requesting the help of a local university to test the urinating hypothesis.

Local media reports have stated that it was not just the "urinators" that were responsible, but the combination of natural causes and a frozen lake.
In the winter time the lake freezes over and is used by many for ice skating. The ice skating may actually disrupt the fish while they are hibernating, leading to their deaths.
"The ice-skaters make a noise that wakes the fish out of hibernation," BSU spokeswoman Kerstin Graupner told the Local. "Then they can't breathe and freeze. That's a very common phenomenon."
She added that their bodies are only now being found.
Urine, however, is being considered a real threat to the health of the lakes ecosystem. The blog i09 explained that phosphates found in human urine work in a similar fashion as fertilizer which can lead to explosive algae growth.
When levels of algae increase the plants absorb all of the oxygen in the water, which then leads to the fish suffocating.

New rope bridges helping to save endangered Golden langurs in India22/11/2012 23:19:46 Connecting canopies - ropeways to save the endangered langurs - Courtesy of The Wildlife Trust of of India
November 2012: As humans make an ever increasing indelible mark on the work, wildlife is constricted into smaller and small, and more and more fragmented habitats. In a few places, some allowance is now being made for the needs of wildlife when major obstacles are constructed. Wildlife over and under passes are becoming more common on major roads, fish ladders have been around for many years, and ropeways, already in use in Africa and Australia, have now been installed in a small corner of India to allow endangered Golden langurs to cross a large highway.
Golden langurs - endemic to the Indo-Bhutan region, have been using ropeways to safely cross a 500-m stretch of road near Chakrasila Wildlife Sanctuary (WLS). The stretch of road had claimed numerous golden langurs in the last few years, but since the installation of the ropeways in January this 2012, no death due to accidents on the road has been reported.
On the northern boundary of Chakrasila, the 500-m road separates the sanctuary from plantation forests used by the resident langurs as an extension of their habitat. The langurs were compelled to descend on to the ground and cross the road risking accidents, attacks by feral dogs or even poaching.
"Golden langurs are essentially arboreal and are not agile on ground. What we know is that there were 10 cases of these magnificent animals killed in this stretch since 2005 as per our records. Who knows how many cases went undetected, or how many other individuals lost to other causes due to this fragmentation," said Dr Bhaskar Choudhury of the International Fund for Animal Welfare - Wildlife Trust of India (IFAW-WTI).
As part of their Greater Manas Conservation Project, the Bodoland authorities and IFAW-WTI initiated a Rapid Action Project (RAP) in January this year to help save the langurs. Ropeways of bamboo and ropes were created and strategically placed between canopies of trees in areas regularly used by the langurs to cross over. These ropeways were placed at a height of 60 m from the ground.
"Initially, understandably the langurs hesitated to use these bridges. But now they appear to have been habituated and are frequently seen to use them," said Dr Panjit Basumatary, IFAW-WTI veterinarian who brought the issue to light.
"This shows the extent of fragmentation of natural habitats and the difficulties faced by wildlife. Nothing would be better than natural contiguous canopy, but such interventions are becoming more and more common and the only way out in many of the cases," said primatologist Mayukh Chatterjee.

Speaking Event: The Geometry and Physics of Numbers
The speaker is Matilde Marcolliprofessor of mathematics at California Institute of Technology.
"I will talk about how even very simple properties of numbers are in fact very mysterious and are at the root of some very active areas of research in modern mathematics. I will also show how our understanding of quantum physics and of elementary particles can help us shape our understanding of some of these fundamental questions on the properties of numbers. The mysteries surrounding prime numbers and prime factorization, in turn, have a broad impact on our information based society."

Jain Vishva Bharati
Science of Living (Jeevan Vigyan) - Introduction
THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF VALUE-ORIENTED EDUCATION
The sages have preached about Science of Living from time to time as under:
"Science of Living is a process of bringing about changes in the nature and habits of human beings. It can pave the way for building a healthy society through positive feelings."
"Science of Living is a system of yogic exercises, yogic Asanas, Pranayam, Preksha Dhyan, Kayotsarg and contemplations
"Science of Living makes us aware of the conditions of morality, dignity of labour and our responsibilities."
"Science of Living is a unique combination of discretion and emotions."
Education provides the foundation for all-round development of a human being. It shapes the personality of an individual. Of all the experiments which have so far been conducted in the field of education, Science of Living has come to be reckoned as an original experiment. In this system a student is made to study less and more time and energy is devoted to practice and experimentation on the self. For the revival of values and fuller development of the human personality, the subject of Science of Living has been conceived and developed, its source of inspiration is Anuvrat Disciplinarian Shri Tulsi. His thoughts have been further developed and expanded by Acharya Shri Mahapragya.
The syllabus of Jeevan Vigyan has been formulated for all levels of students beginning from class-1 up to graduation standard. Keeping in view the needs and the pace of learning of the students, the syllabus has been divided into twelve units as under:
|Right breathing||Kayotsarg||Preksha Dhyan|
|Anatomy||Health science||Mental health|
|Emotional health||Awareness of values||Non-violence|
Beginning with the use and development of sound, these units graduate into generation of awareness of values and promotion of non-violence. The sound has utmost impact on the way we live and conduct ourselves. We receive and communicate knowledge and scientific attitude through sound. The balanced development of sound is the basis of peaceful coexistence. No human being can succeed in life without the development of resolute will-power. Strong will-power liberates us from undesirable conduct and guides us towards right conduct.
The experiments in the field of education have convincingly proved that Science of Living is fully capable of bringing about desirable transformation in the personality of children.
The usefulness of Science of Living is not restricted to students alone. Its usefulness has been established beyond doubt in every walk of life. It is applicable to teachers or guardians alike. Teachers need to be trained first in this technique of Science of Living.
The nature of human being can
undoubtedly be changed. The experiments in the field of Science
of Living have proved to be blessings for the individual. These
experiments have succeeded in bringing about all-round
development of body, mind, intellect and emotions. In statistical
terms, lakhs of students, thousands of teachers and hundreds of
intellectuals have witnessed the sprouting of the seeds of change
in their nature, behaviour and conduct during the last 10 years.

Creating and managing SMB volumes
Before you can create and manage SMB volumes, you must review security considerations regarding SMB access. You must also add an Active Directory (AD) connection. Currently, Cloud Volumes Service supports only one AD connection per Google Cloud region. You can only associate a cloud volume in a region with the AD connection in the same region.
The following diagram shows how Cloud Volumes Service works with Windows applications on Google Cloud:
Cloud Volumes Service Windows
For more information about SMB services provided by Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud, see SMB performance FAQs.
Creating an AD connection
You can set up an AD connection for Cloud Volumes Service to an AD configured on Compute Engine or to an on-premises Active Directory service if the on-premises network is connected to Google Cloud.
 1. In the Cloud Console, go to Cloud Volumes.
 Go to the Cloud Volumes page
 2. Click Active Directory connections, and then click Create.
 Active Directory menu
 3. In the Create Active Directory Connection window, enter the following information, and then click Save.
 1. In the Username and Password fields, enter credentials associated with an account that has privileges to create a computer account in AD.
 2. In the Domain field, enter the name of the AD domain.
 3. In the DNS server field, enter the DNS server IP address fetched from the AD domain.
 The CVS-Performance service type checks all IP addresses listed. The CVS service type uses the first IP address listed.
 4. In the NetBIOS field, enter a name for the AD server. The length of the NetBIOS name must be 10 characters or fewer.
 5. From the Region drop-down list, select a region associated with your AD credentials.
 6. In the Security Privilege Users field, provide a list of comma-separated domain user accounts that require elevated privileges to manage security logs for the Active Directory associated with Cloud Volumes Service. This list is specifically needed for the installation of a SQL server where binaries and system databases are stored on an SMB share. This option is not mandatory if you use an administrator user during installation.
 7. In the Backup Users field, provide either a group or a comma-separated list of users that require access to all files and directories without being a domain administrator.
 8. The Active Directory connection supports NFS extended groups (greater than 16 GIDs) with the CVS-Performance service type by default. However, the use of extended groups disables support for users that exist on the NFS client locally.
 If you need support for local users rather than extended groups, select the checkbox for Allow local NFS users with LDAP when creating or editing the Active Directory connection.
Creating an SMB volume
 1. In the Cloud Console, go to Cloud Volumes.
 Go to Cloud Volumes page
 2. Click Create.
 3. In the Create File System page, complete the following fields:
 1. Name: Enter a display name for the volume.
 2. Service Type: Select either the CVS or CVS-Performance service type, depending on which is appropriate for your workload. Each service type offers different service levels, and the service levels are offered in different regions. For more information, see Service types.
 3. Region: Select a Google Cloud region for your volume. For more information about region selection, see Best practices for Compute Engine region selection.
 4. Zone: Select a Google Cloud zone for your volume. This field applies only to volumes using the CVS service type.
 5. Volume path: Enter the name of the volume path. It must be unique across all your cloud volumes. The system automatically generates a recommended volume path.
 6. Service level:
 - If you selected the CVS service type, select the level of availability for the volume.
 - If you selected the CVS-Performance service type, select the level of performance for the volume.
 7. Snapshot: If you want to create a volume based on a snapshot, select the snapshot from the drop-down list. This field applies only to volumes that use the CVS-Performance service type. For more information, see Creating and managing volume snapshots.
 8. Allocated capacity: Set the size of the cloud volume. The minimum size is 1,024 GiB (1 TiB).
 9. Protocol type: Select SMB.
 10. Make snapshot directory (~snapshot) visible: Selecting this option makes your snapshot directory visible to the client as a ~snapshot hidden directory in the root of the mapped share and enables Previous Versions access in Windows Explorer. This field applies only to volumes that use the CVS-Performance service type.
 11. Enable SMB encryption: To enable SMB encryption for in-flight SMB3 data, select this option. SMB clients using data without encryption can't access a volume that has this option enabled.
 12. Enable CA share support for SQL server: You can enable continuously available (CA) share support for the SQL server. You should enable this option only for SQL workloads that require continuous availability. This field applies only to volumes that use the CVS-Performance service type.
 13. Hide SMB Share: To enhance security, you can select this option to prevent your volume and data from being viewable by untrusted sources. Selecting this option makes the SMB share non-browsable. This field applies only to volumes that use the CVS-Performance service type.
 14. Shared VPC Configuration: The VPC network can be part of a host project in a shared VPC, or it can be a standalone project. If you have a host project and a shared VPC topology, select the checkbox. For standalone projects, leave the checkbox clear.
 15. VPC Network Name:
 - Select the network from which the volume will be accessible.
 - Optionally, you can specify your custom CIDR range by selecting Use Custom Address Range.
 - If this is the first time that you're setting up the VPC peering for Cloud Volumes Service, you receive the following prompt indicating that you need to set up network peering:
 Network peering warning window. The service networking peering for this VPC is not set up.
 For more information, see Setting up private services access.
 16. Snapshot policy: To manage snapshot policy for the volume, expand Show snapshot policy. Select Allow automatic snapshots, specify the snapshot schedules, and specify the number of snapshots to keep. See Managing snapshot policies for details.
 Snapshot policy page
 4. Click Save to create the volume.
 The new volume appears in the Volumes list.
Mapping SMB shares from Compute Engine instances
 1. In the Cloud Console, go to the Volumes page.
 Go to the Volumes page
 2. Click the SMB volume for which you want to map an SMB share.
 3. Scroll to the right, click More, and then click Mount Instructions.
 4. Follow the instructions in the Mount Instructions for SMB window that appears.

returning an Either value, you get a Result. You need to go follow that link and look at the documentation for Result.
It reflects the three outcomes of parsing possibly truncated data. Either the data is invalid as is, or it's complete, or it's truncated. In the truncated case you are given a function (called a continuation), to which you can pass more data, when you get it, and continue the parse. The continuation, again, returns a Result depending on the result of parsing the additional data as well.
1.2.4 Bit twiddling
Even with all this monadic goodness, sometimes you just need to move some bits around. That's perfectly possible in Haskell too. Just import Data.Bits and use the following table.
1.2.5 The BitGet monad
As an alternative to bit twiddling, you can also use the BitGet monad. This is another state-like monad, like Get, but here the state includes the current bit-offset in the input. This means that you can easily pull out unaligned data. Sadly, haddock is currently breaking when trying to generate the documentation for BitGet so I'll start with an example. Again, you'll need the binary-strict package installed.
Here's a description of the header of a DNS packet, direct from RFC 1035:
1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ | ID | +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ |QR| Opcode |AA|TC|RD|RA| Z | RCODE | +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ | QDCOUNT | +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ | ANCOUNT | +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ | NSCOUNT | +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ | ARCOUNT | +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
The actual fields don't matter, but here's a function for parsing it:
parseHeader :: G.Get Header parseHeader = do id <- G.getWord16be flags <- G.getByteString 2 qdcount <- G.getWord16be >>= return. fromIntegral ancount <- G.getWord16be >>= return. fromIntegral nscount <- G.getWord16be >>= return. fromIntegral arcount <- G.getWord16be >>= return. fromIntegral let r = BG.runBitGet flags (do isquery <- BG.getBit opcode <- BG.getAsWord8 4 >>= parseEnum aa <- BG.getBit tc <- BG.getBit rd <- BG.getBit ra <- BG.getBit BG.getAsWord8 3 rcode <- BG.getAsWord8 4 >>= parseEnum return $ Header id isquery opcode aa tc rd ra rcode qdcount ancount nscount arcount) case r of Left error -> fail error Right x -> return x
Here you can see that only the second line (from the ASCII-art diagram) is parsed using BitGet. An outer Get monad is used for everything else and the bit fields are pulled out with
returns an Either, but it doesn't return the remaining bytestring, just because there's no obvious way to represent a bytestring of a fractional number of bytes.
You can see the list of BitGet functions and their comments in the source code.
1.3 Binary generation
In contrast to parsing binary data, you might want to generate it. This is the job of the Put monad. Follow along with the documentation if you like.
The Put monad is another state-like monad, but the state is an offset into a series of buffers where the generated data is placed. All the buffer creation and handling is done for you, so you can just forget about it. It results in a lazy bytestring (so you can generate outputs that are larger than memory).
Here's the reverse of our simple Get example:
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as BL import Data.Binary.Put serialiseSomething :: Put serialiseSomething = do putWord32be 1 putWord16be 2 putWord8 3 main :: IO () main = BL.putStr $ runPut serialiseSomething
And running it shows that it's generating the correct serialisation:
% runhaskell /tmp/example.hs| hexdump -C 00000000 00 00 00 01 00 02 03 |.......|
If you want the output of runPut to be a strict bytestring, you justneed to convert it with
One limitation of Put, due to the nature of the Builder monad which it works with, is that you can't get the current offset into the output. This can be an issue with some formats which require you to encode byte offsets into the file. You have to calculate these byte offsets yourself.
1.4 Other useful packages
There are other packages which you should know about, but which are mostly covered by their documentation:

Hollywood shines spotlight on mental impairments once again
| Apr 5, 2013 | Social Security Disability Benefits For Mental Conditions
Hollywood has produced many movies highlighting inspiring characters with mental disabilities and is likely about to do so again with the sequel to "Finding Nemo," called "Finding Dory." As anyone who has watched the Nemo version knows, Dory is a little fish with short-term memory loss, a condition that many Americans suffer from.
In the past, Hollywood has introduced society to memorable characters with mental impairments in Rain Man, Forrest Gump and Radio. As you probably already know, Rain Man starred Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman, who plays an autistic savant. The movie helped to raise public awareness about autism, and the amazing skills people with autism can have.
Forrest Gump is another well-received movie about a mentally impaired man who makes incredible accomplishments in his life, forcing countless Americans to re-consider their preconceptions of people with mental impairments. Radio starred Cuba Gooding Jr. and was based on a true story of a man with intellectual disabilities who inspired an entire town with his love for football and life.
Next, it will be interesting to see how Hollywood portrays Dory's short-term memory loss in Finding Dory. On the one hand, the movie could demonstrate that Dory struggles to live alone because of her memory impairment. But at the same time, the movie could also highlight the character's zest for life and ability to live in the moment.
So far, Hollywood has done a good job at demonstrating both the challenges and positive traits that often go along with mental impairments. While the movies are sometimes criticized for stereotyping people with mental impairments, all of the movies mentioned helped to shed a positive light on extremely inspirational characters, both real and fictional, who were mentally disabled.

|Graphing Random Walk|
I am trying a produce a random walk for a distance n and my task is to
find how many times along the walk the difference between the two values
produced is 0. The walk gives a binary output and is linked to two
selective groups. I feel I have successfully completed this bit, but am
having difficulty plotting a graph to show this. The plot should be the x
value against the natural numbers, thus a visual description of how many
times the graph goes through the x-axis, to prove the Y value produced.
What function should I use to plot this graph?
Does the function need to be done within the "For" function?
If anyone has any ideas or clues as to how I can overcome this problem,
please be in touch.
