Stories of Spirit…The Symbolism of Cat Piss [it's one of those kind of days]
So, this morning I woke from my bedroom carpet (said cat also pissed on my futon), in a not so pleasant state. Now, I could go on a search for what this all means; but sometimes cat piss, is just cat piss.
I think about that a lot. Not cat piss, but the fact that with an awakening Intuition, we can fall victim to seeing great meaning in everything. Intuition is tricky; it is a feeling, a knowing. It is not every time, and every event. Even when those events are down right horrific. To understand our Intuition we must first study it.
Everybody's Intuition is different; or more accurately put, our symbolism is different. That's why a book on dream interpretation, is not a bible. It is meant to give you direction, not instruct you on what is right. When I say that Intuition is a feeling & knowing, I am saying it is both instantaneously. It is that voice in our head that makes us go…hmmm? Symbolism is the way in which we interpret our feeling & knowing.
Intuition, like I said is the feeling & knowing of something. Last night when the indecent happened I knew it was about the cat, and I also knew it was not some symbolic message from the Universe. I knew this because I constantly check things out with my Intuition. I do this without thought, because I know my own symbolism, and the way in it speaks to me, so well. That does not mean, I have reached my full potential, that I have no room for development. We all benefit from keeping a beginners mind. The moment we begin to think we have it all figured out…is the day the Universe kicks us in the ass for amusement. I know…I learned that lesson along time ago.
Symbolism is metaphysical terms; refers to how our Intuition responds to imagery. It is the gut response, the first thought we have when sensing something; seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling. I left out knowing; for it is with the sense of knowing, that responds to that which triggers us through our other senses. Books on Dream Interpretation are a good start, as they give us a whole list of things to interpret. But, when we are triggered by something; particularly in a waking state (conscious or lucid dreaming) we know what stood out most to us. We also know how it made us feel. That does not mean you have all the information from just that moment (although you certainly can), it means you know how you felt, how you responded. So ask yourself…Did you feel threatened? Did you feel excitement? Did anyone come to mind during your experience?
Write things down, keep track of your thoughts and dreams, and revisit them. Go back over your journals and connect the dots. Writing in a journal is only half the way it can be utilized. It can also be read, like a book of us…it is a book of us. It is telling a story from our perspective at the moment we are experiencing it. We may be experiencing prophetic (knowing of the future) things, and totally over looking it because we never looked back.
The world is waking up. I like to call it Psychic Evolution, because I find the term Ascension a bit fluffy, bunny for me. Like Unicorns should be involved, or it should be accompanied by a band of Angels, singing. But in reality, what people are experiencing is much more primitive, raw, and Earth rocking. Now, I am not bashing anyone's love of the term Ascension. If it grooves for you, go for it…for me, I will stick to my slightly-edged, terminology.
So, back to my original rant here…I believe we need to aware, and remember our logical brain is meant to be a companion to our Intuition. We need both, to get clear information. We do not want to cross over into the world of illusion; that does not serve the world. We are here for a reason, and developing strong, Logical Intuition is the way to go. And remember sometimes cat piss; is just cat piss, and when it happens we need to remember…we are not fucked up, or totally off kilter; we are simply having a bad day.
I hope you enjoyed the read Folks. I do have to say, writing to you…I found my center. Thanks for reading.

Teleost taxonomy
The Teleost taxonomy ontology is being used to facilitate annotation of phenotypes, particularly for taxa that are not covered by NCBI because no submissions of molecular data have been made. Taxonomy ontologies can also be valuable in annotating legacy data, where authors make phenotype or ecological assertions (e.g., host-parasite associations) that refer to groups that are reorganized or no longer recognized. The taxonomy ontology serves as the source of taxa for our project's use for identifying evolutionary changes that match the phenotype of a zebrafish mutant.

Advancing the valve timing of the engine is going to improve the firing stroke and therefore, its created power. And to guide you on this is the Jaguar Xjr knock sensor. It will generate electrical current in the event the valves are so advanced, which often launches discernible pinging or knocking sounds. This sensor uses its generated electricity as alarm to your engine computer. The engine computer operates to retard the timing of your valves in reply to the knock sensor alarm, and in old automobiles, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is actually activated.
If you'll advance the VVT, ensure that your Jaguar Xjr knock sensor is operating just fine and thus, can assist you look for the safer timing of your valves. Pinging is actually the sound that the pressure waves in your combustion chamber develops when it bumps on the cylinder walls or the piston of your engine. It usually develops when your valve timing is advanced too far. But what get the sensor capable for this function is the Piezoelectric materials employed to create it.
Once your Jaguar Xjr knock sensor is bad, your own engine computer is given inaccurate details. Choose Beck Arnley, Replacement, and Delphi replacement solutions for this sensor at Parts Train!

George Stubbs, Lion and Lioness, 1771
From the Boston Museum of Fine Arts:
Stubbs began his career as a portraitist and an anatomical illustrator, becoming widely renowned with the publication of The Anatomy of the Horse (1766). His aptitude for rendering the physical structure of animals is evident in the muscular haunches of this lioness. Natural phenomena were both an object of study and a source of awe for eighteenth-century artists and scientists, who endeavored to describe the natural world, master its complexity, and convey its sublime power. By manipulating setting, light, and color, Stubbs gives his realistic representation of the lions, plants, and trees an eerie and fantastic quality.

After completing its service in the Second Air Region (based in Rome) of the Italian Air Force, the Museum's FIAT G.59 4B (with military serial number 53530) has been purchased in 1964 by the former Institute of Aeronautics of the University of Palermo. It is one of the only five complete FIAT G. 59 surviving today and it is displayed after having undergone a thorough restoration in the Museum's workshop.
The restoration project, carried out by the Museum with the collaboration of some mechanical and aerospace engineering students, was rigorously conservative. This approach provides the physical conservation of the asset, aiming at the philological preservation of its original features. The disassembly of the main components, their reconditioning and the accurate reassembly of the entire aircraft were particularly demanding. The restoration work also involved damaged parts and the recovery of some missing elements. In some cases, it was necessary to rebuild missing parts, no longer available; that was carried out through reverse engineering operations, to manufacture new parts that are compliant with the original specifications. Among the innovative techniques employed there are the use of a three-dimensional optical scanner, modern CAD/CAM systems, 3D printing processes and waterjet cutting for sheet metal elements.

This procedure is a part of CCI Collection via CCI Picklist.
Collecting "CCI collect count each" items
Blood gas, arterial, and Blood gas, venous are not manually counted at HSC or STB sites, as it is automatically uploaded from DSM Lab Extract.
- "CCI collect count each" items are entered as counts of how often they occurred
- Px Date
- enter the total number of times the procedure was done as Px Count. If it happened as an Admit Procedure and as an Acquired Procedure, enter separately.
Px Date for patients who move
See Px Date#Moves
Code only if done by Radiology or Cardiology
- Code diagnostic imaging procedures only if performed by Radiology or Cardiology for which there is an order.
- Examples: a bedside echo done by a cardiology tech should be coded, but a bedside echo done by the ICU fellow should not be coded. An echo done informally by the cardiology team (i.e. informal in that no actual order was put in for it) should not be coded.
Multiple Views or Sequences at one sitting
- When a single imaging modality is used to look at a single body segment, then this is counted as ONE imaging study, even if during that study there are multiple views, or sequences, etc.
- e.g. if a AXR (abdominal plain X-ray) or CXR (plain film) film comprises multiple views/films done at one sitting, only count it as ONE.
- e.g. if an MRI is done and several different sequences are done of the same body part, that counts as ONE.
- e.g. if a cardiac echo is done and they do both 2-D, M-mode, Doppler, and contrast-enhanced, this counts as ONE.
- these examples hold for all types of imaging procedures, as long as they're of the same body part.
Guideline about Coding CCI vs ICD10 imaging codes
- There are a set of "imaging codes" in ICD10, but these are not to code that an imaging test was performed, but to code that a result was abnormal --- and like all the ICD10 codes for abnormal symptoms or signs or test results, they are mainly to be used when the actual diagnosis CAUSING the abnormal findings is not known.
ICD10 Imaging diagnoses and other diagnoses that require imaging should be coded together with corresponding Imaging Pxs, where we have a code for them.
Coding both is not redundant because the ICD10 will only be coded for abnormal results, and we don't have CCI coding options for every kind of imaging. Coding both as appropriate will cover all the ways we are interested in this data.

Future of Colorado Agriculture
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
The Green Industry in Colorado
A 2001 U.S. study estimated that consumers spent nearly $40.7 billion on garden-related products, up 12.1% from $36.3 billion in 2000, with the average U.S. household spending $444 on lawn and garden goods. Colorado household and business expenditures on a broader set of garden, landscape and lawn products and services (including linkage industries such as irrigation systems, botanical gardens, lawn and garden equipment and maintenance services) have followed a similar trajectory, averaging almost 10% annual growth since 1993, for a 2007 total of $1.8 billion.
Through 2007, the green industry in Colorado has seen sustained growth: the $1.8 billion directly contributed increases to $3.3 billion when you consider its impact on broader economic activity and employment generation in the Colorado economy. Because of its labor intensity, the local impact of this industry is fairly strong.
The green industry provides over 35,000 jobs, an increase of 12,000 jobs since 1994 (tripling in size in less than 15 years), with $1.2 billion in payroll (up $750 million from 1994). These increases are indicative of the demand for green services and the ability to hire workers on a more year-round basis (resulting in greater earnings per worker). The average wage earned has also increased to an average of $35,318 annually, up from $26,159 in 2001. The industry has come along way in providing better compensation to its workers, but like other sectors of agriculture, has struggled to find enough workers.
The highest growth sectors within the Green Industry during the 1990's and early 2000's were wholesale nursery, tree and sod production, landscape design, installation and maintenance, public and private golf courses, and nursery/garden centers.
Questions to Consider:
Given its need for land, water and workers, many view the green industry as a competitor to food-based agriculture, while others note that the growth in Green industries signals yet another changing preference of consumers for aesthetic surroundings.
How can the green and traditional ag industries work together to benefit resource issues (water, labor) they are both struggling with?
Are Green Industry stakeholders at more risk of a downturn during tough economic times? Or will those who would have normally changed homes likely to reinvest in upgrading their current landscape and add more value and sweat equity to their homes?
Willie said...
i believe that if the farmers and all of the people that are growing green things could find a way to upgrade all of their equipment then they could save a lot of money on labor, and as for the water situation there are going to be a lot of problems with the enviromentalists but if there was a way to get everyone's fields watered with irrigation pivots so that they are not using an excess amount of water, watering at night so that there is more absorbed into the ground rather than evaporating, and this would also help because they could patrol the amount of gallons of water they use daily.

Intro: Poor Man's Door Trip Alarm
You will need:
LCD Screen Buzzer
6 LED's (you could use less)
A bunch of wires and 20-32 M/F connectors
1 100 ohm resister
6 220 ohm resisters
Optional: Amazon box as a housing
Step 1: What You Need and What to Do First
What to do first
1. Link your hot and ground rails with some M/M wires.
2. Next ground your LED's to the ground rail. To do my exact same build you will need 12 M/F wires to connect the LED's so you can show the led's on the outside of the amazon box.
3. Insert the 6 220 ohm resisters and then connect the hot line on the LED to those resisters so the LED's don't burn out and aren't so bright.
LED"s where connected from left to right in ports 13 -> 8 (So there is a movement looking motion to the lights
Step 2: Receiver and Sensor
Receiver (Using M/F wires)
1. Connect the left most pin on the IR receiver (when the component is facing you) to the ground rail.
2. Connect the middle pin to the hot rail so it gets power
3. Connect the right most pin to port 4 to control when the buzzer should sound
Distance Sensor (Using M/F wires)
1. Connect the GND pin to the ground rail
2. Connect the echo pin to port 6 and connect the trig pin to port 7
3. Now connect the remaining pin to the hot rail
Step 3: Buzzer
1. Connect the left pin on the buzzer to the ground rail
2. Connect the hot wire to a 100 ohm resister and then connect the resister to port 5
**The resister is important as not using one can cause to much power to reach the buzzer and quickly silence it for good
Step 4: LCD and Potentiometer
1. Connect the left pin on the potentiometer to the ground rail using a M/M wire
2. Connect the right pin to the hot rail like the above
3. The connect the middle pin to the Vo pin on the LCD screen using a M/F wire
GND - Connects the the ground rail
VSS/VCC - Connects to the hot rail
Vo already connected to the potentiometer
RS - A0 port
RW - GND port on the breadboard.
E - A1 port.
D4 - A2 port.
D5 - A3 port
D6 - A4 port
D7 - A5 port
A (anode) - Will go to the hot rail on the breadboard
K (cathode) - Will go to the ground rail on the breadboard
Step 5: Getting the Code Together
Click the code there. You will have to alter something, you will need to download the TimerFreeTone library and edit the NewPing library. Open the NewPing library (say in notepad++) and search for "__vector_7". This should eventually bring up this line of code "_TAG_ TIMER_ENABLED true"
You will need to change this to "_TAG_ TIMER_ENABLED false" this way the IR and the new ping library timers don't get a confliction.

Ambient air — Determination of numerical concentration of inorganic fibrous particles — Scanning electron microscopy method
ISO 14966:2002 specifies a method using scanning electron microscopy for determination of the concentration of inorganic fibrous particles in the air. The method specifies the use of gold-coated, capillary-pore, track-etched membrane filters, through which a known volume of air has been drawn. Using energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, the method can discriminate between fibres with compositions consistent with those of the asbestos varieties (e.g. serpentine and amphibole), gypsum and other inorganic fibres. Annex C provides a summary of fibre types which can be measured.
ISO 14966:2002 is applicable to the measurement of the concentrations of inorganic fibrous particles in ambient air. The method is also applicable for determining the numerical concentrations of inorganic fibrous particles in the interior atmospheres of buildings, for example, to determine the concentration of airborne inorganic fibrous particles remaining after the removal of asbestos-containing products.
The range of concentrations for fibres with lengths greater than 5 micrometres, in the range of widths which can be detected under standard measurement conditions, is approximately 3 fibres to 200 fibres per square millimetre of filter area. The air concentrations, in fibres per cubic metre, represented by these values are a function of the volume of air sampled.
NOTE The ability of the method to detect and classify fibres with widths lower than 0,2 micrometres is limited. If airborne fibres in the atmosphere being sampled are predominantly less than 0,2 micrometres in width, a transmission electron microscopy method such as ISO 10312 can be used to determine the smaller fibres.

tau can be cross-compiled to various operating systems, for a quick and seamless deployment we recommend using a Linux distribution that employs SystemD.
Depending on the enabled protocols,
tau will require certain network ports to be available and open:
- Three configurable TCP ports for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication
- Ports 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS respectively
- Ports 53 and 953 for DNS, supporting both TCP and UDP
The requirements for 'tau' vary depending on the shape, but at a minimum, assuming an empty shape, it requires:
- 512MB of RAM
- 2GB of storage space
We will delve into the additional requirements for each protocol later on in this documentation.

Department of Defence seeks industry feedback on draft AIC Enhanced Contractual Framework
by ANZDD on 02-Oct-2020
The Department of Defence is seeking industry feedback on an enhanced Australian Industry Capability (AIC) Contractual Framework.
The Draft AIC Enhanced Contractual Framework and related supporting artefacts are intended to provide specific and measurable AIC commitments that promote greater accountability for achieving the AIC objectives.
Defence has changed the approach for AIC from a 'one-size-fits-all' approach across its acquisition and sustainment contracting templates to a more flexible and scalable approach. This approach enables greater alignment with the unique aspects of each procurement, and is consistent with the view of defence industry as one of the fundamental inputs to capability.
The changes to be introduced by the new framework are directed at:
- better achieving Government's and Defence's requirements for maximising opportunities for Australian industry to participate in each procurement, while also recognising the core role of industry in delivering ADF Capability; and
- strengthening the contractual terms to ensure that these requirements are achieved through revised tendering processes and the inclusion of specific and measurable contractual commitments to enhance accountability.
Under the new framework, the key enhancements are to elevate AIC as a "core" clause with strengthened AIC obligations that contractors must comply with under contracts. To complement these obligations a new AIC remediation regime will be introduced.
The enhanced contractual framework will not be applied retrospectively. Defence will adopt a phased implementation approach across the ASDEFCON template suite from 1 January 2021.
The first package of draft documents (the AIC core package) is now available for consultation and comprises:
- updated Conditions of Tender, Conditions of Contract (and Glossary), and Statement of Work
- new Australian Contract Expenditure Measurement Rules
- extracts from relevant artefacts which describe the enhanced framework
What is the Australian Industry Capability Program?
The Australian Industry Capability (AIC) Program is designed to meet key objectives of the 2016 Defence and Industry Policy Statement (DIPS). In accordance with the DIPS, the AIC Program aims to:
- Provide opportunities for Australian companies to compete on merit for defence work within Australia and overseas.
- Influence foreign prime contractors and original equipment manufacturers, including Australian subsidiaries, to deliver cost-effective support.
- Facilitate transfer of technology and access to appropriate intellectual property rights.
- Encourage investment in Australian industry.
How do I give feedback?
All feedback should be sent to [email protected] using the ASDEFCON AIC Enhancements Feedback Log.

text: Organizations deploy gamification in CSCW systems to enhance motivation and behavioral outcomes of users. However, gamification approaches often cause competition between users, which might be inappropriate for working environments that seek cooperation. Drawing on the social interdependence theory, this paper provides a classification for gamification features and insights about the design of cooperative gamification. Using the example of an innovation community of a German engineering company, we present the design of a cooperative gamification approach and results from a first experimental evaluation. The findings indicate that the developed gamification approach has positive effects on perceived enjoyment and the intention towards knowledge sharing in the considered innovation community. Besides our conceptual contribution, our findings suggest that cooperative gamification may be beneficial for cooperative working environments and represents a promising field for future research.

itself you can also make a separate BFS partition yourself and then copy over the contents of the image to that partition. You will need a platform supporting BFS to do that obviously, which leaves you with two possible options. Either you use a version of BeOS to do the setup with DriveSetup or mkbfs or you use Haiku itself with the Installer or DriveSetup. Once you've created and initialized the target partition you can mount the image (using tools like Mount Image or through the Terminal) and copy over all the files. If you are under Haiku, you can just as well use the Installer to make a duplicate of your currently booted installation.
3. Getting Bootable
Now that you have installed Haiku in some way or another there might remain steps to take to actually make this installation bootable. As you saw above, there are quite a few things involved when booting an OS. Some of the parts differ between OSes, not everyone might split boot loader and kernel, but essentially the steps are the same. Most of the things can and will be further automated when Haiku will be released, but others are more complicated and not within the power of Haiku.
3.1 Making the Partition Bootable
If you built from source directly to a partition the build system has most probably done the required steps to make the partition bootable automatically. If so you can skip this point and continue with configuring the boot manager below.
When you just create a plain partition and initialize it to a BFS filesystem or if you copy over a complete Haiku image, this doesn't necessarily make the partition bootable. The partition boot record may be missing, or the partition offset could be misconfigured. The prebuilt images for example contain a partition offset of 0 for example, since they are not actually partitioned. They only consist of a direct BFS filesystem, so the offset to that is 0. This will work in exactly one case, where you don't actually put it into a partition. If you for example copy such an image directly to a USB drive starting from 0, overwriting the MBR (destoying all partitions already there), then this will boot. If you however copy an image to the first partition on your harddisk, this will not work out of the box, as the boot code in the partition boot record won't find the desired filesystem at offset 0 (that's where the MBR still is).
To make sure a partition boot record is there and it contains the right partition offset, you can use the tool "makebootable". Makebootable will do both, write the partition boot code to the beginning of the partition and detect and write the partition offset to where it is needed. You can use the makebootable from BeOS if you have a BeOS installation that has access to the partition in question. To do that, mount the volume you have Haiku installed to and use:
Where "/HaikuMountpoint" is where you have mounted your Haiku volume to. Note that the BeOS makebootable can be used, because the partition boot record does only load the zbeos boot loader. As Haiku does provide a zbeos as well and there is no information passed from the partition boot code to the boot loader, this is compatible between BeOS and Haiku and you can use a BeOS makebootable with a Haiku boot loader and the other way around.
If you already have some Haiku medium capable of booting Haiku (like a USB drive) you could also boot into Haiku and run makebootable from there. Note that there is currently a bug in makebootable that will require you to run it from the location it resides in like so:
If you are on Linux or another build platform that has support for makebootable and have the sources available you can run:
jam run ":makebootable" /dev/sdaX
Where the "/dev/sdaX" is the partition that is supposed to be made bootable. Under Windows this is currently not possible.
3.2 Configuring the Boot Manager
When the partition itself is bootable, i.e. contains a partition boot record and the correct partition offset, there needs to be a way to get it executed. If you installed Haiku by copying an image to the complete beginning of a disk or USB drive, this will already be the case. There is no boot manager and no MBR at all, but straight the partition boot code, which should then work out of the box. So if you have it installed this way, go right ahead and boot.
If you use a boot manager like GRUB however, you need to instruct it to load from that partition. You do that for GRUB by adding an entry to its menu.lst usually located at "/boot/grub/menu.lst". The following would instruct it to switch to the partition and then just chainload the partition boot record:
That would work if you installed to disk "0" and partition "3". Note that the GRUB naming is one-off the Linux one, so if you have it installed to "/dev/sda4" that would translate to disk "0" (sda == 0, sdb == 1,...) and partition "3" (4 - 1).
In case you are using the BeOS boot manager, just re-run the "bootman" command and add the new Haiku partition to the boot menu.
If you have another boot manager consult its documentation on how to chainload partitions, most should support such a thing, possibly named a bit different. In doubt just add an entry for the partition, probably this will cause it to chainload, even if not explicitly named so.
4. Easy Installation through USB Drives
The above steps should get you going in most cases, but maybe sound a bit scary or involved. My personally recommended method that should work on most current hardware would be to make a dedicated USB drive like a USB memory stick to boot Haiku. To do that, you can take a relatively small USB drive that has enough space to fit the image onto. Then you just copy that image directly to the raw drive, not to a partition, replacing everything including the MBR, destroying all the partitions that were on there (see above as to tools to use). This is destructive and you can't use anything after the image size of that drive, but if you get some cheap small USB memory stick just for that purpose it's certainly one of the easiest ways to boot Haiku. Once you've booted Haiku you can also do an installation from there, initializing partitions with BFS using DriveSetup and using the Installer to do a proper installation. Note that you cannot currently create partitions under Haiku. Use your preferred partition tool to create a dedicated partition before booting Haiku. Note also that the Installer doesn't have a link in the Haiku menu, therefore just run it from the Terminal. If you additionally execute it from "/bin" this works around the makebootable problem, giving you the commands:
That should work and be pretty usable to boot devices that you have no other means to put Haiku onto otherwise. This works for example out of the box on the Asus EEE, but really should work for every USB bootable x86 machine. If it doesn't, please make sure that your issue is documented in a bug report at our bug tracker. We cannot fix it if we don't know that it's broken.
I hope this clears up some things. If nothing else this should get you a better starting point for troubleshooting if it indeed doesn't boot.

Thesis - Open Access
Master of Science (MS)
Woody plants have become established upon millions of acres of range land in the United States during the past 50 years. Because of the undesirability of many species, various methods for their control have been investigated extensively during the past few years. Many species can be controlled by foliage sprays with modern hericides, while others do not respond to this method of application but may be eliminated by basal trunk treatments with herbicides. Basal trunk treatment consists of spraying the base of trunk of individual trees to a height of approximately eighteen inches from the soil level. The basal treatment of individual trees generally requires petroleum oils as carriers of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) or 2, 4,5-T, (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid). The oils used as carriers of the herbicides must penetrate heavily subsidized-corky-bark in order to reach the live woody tissues. A differential rate of penetration of various petroleum oils has been observed by a number of investigators. It is the purpose of this paper to report a laboratory method developed to determine the relative rate of movement of various petroleum fractions and to establish the physical or chemical properties of oils that may be used in estimating such differences. Differences in rate of penetration of petroleum oils as carriers for herbicides in woody tissues are obviously one of the important considerations in selecting oils for its use. The work was conducted during the past two seasons.

Technical Abstract: The primary purpose of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Restoration Program is to manage the health and ecological risks associated with intentional and accidental releases of radioactive and hazardous contaminants to the environment. At DOE sites where health and ecological risks are considered to be low based on preliminary baseline risk assessment studies, regulatory requirements for final closure of old landfills can often be met using a well designed trench cap to isolate the buried waste. The selection of the "best" design among feasible alternatives requires consideration of multiple and often conflicting objectives. A computer based decision support system (DSS) is being developed to assist the risk manager in selecting an appropriate trench cap design for shallow land waste disposal sites. The DSS components include: simulation models, a decision model, and a graphical user interface. The methodology used in the selection process consists of selecting and parameterizing decision variables or criteria, selecting feasible trench cap design alternatives, ordering the decision variables and ranking the design alternatives. The results are displayed both as text and graphics, allowing the user to easily evaluate the alternative covers. This approach significantly reduces user subjectivity and bias inherent in most decision making methodologies.

Nemrut Dağ VulkanThe caldera of Nemrut Dağ is one of the volcanoes near Van lake. It is one of the volcanoes that erupted in historic times.
Beschreibung:The diameter of the caldera is about 9 x 5 km and it is half filled by a crater lake. There happend post calderic volcanism, producing rhyolithic & basaltic material at the caldera rim and on its floor. Pyroclastic flows and the emission of glassy obsidian lava flows accompanied construction of lava domes within the caldera; later activity formed a series of cinder cones and lava domes erupted along N-S-trending fissures on the northern flank. The most recent activity has been concentrated along a NNW-trending fissure cutting the eastern caldera floor and extending beyond the north caldera rim; nearly two dozen cinder cones and lava domes were constructed on the caldera floor. Ash layers in Lake Van document numerous Holocene eruptions, and an historical eruption in 1441 AD from a north-flank fissure involved compositionally bimodal lava flows.

Inflator-Based Submerged Missile Ejection System (ISMES)
Small Business Information
62 Johnny Cake Hill, Aquidneck Corporate Park, Middletown, RI, -
AbstractSince the advent of impulse launching various payloads from Navy and other military combatants, the source of the impulse energy has been either an explosive gas generator (propellant) or stored high pressure gas in a flask. Both of these methods have high maintenance and/or clean-up costs and are typically limited to one type or size of payload per launcher device. This limits operational flexibility and increases logistical complexity and cost. SEA CORP has developed a family of impulse launchers that use COTS automotive air bag inflators that significantly expands the capability and flexibility of any single launcher design to employ a number of payloads. The inflators, widely used in the automotive industry, are small cylinders containing a highly compressed inert gas that is released when a small initiator is electrically actuated. By changing the number, size, and initiation timing of the inflators, the launcher can be adjusted to accommodate various payloads that have different impulse requirements. The technology was originally developed under a NAVSEA SBIR to launch light weight torpedoes up to 740lbs from surface ships. In the proposed application, SEA CORP will adapt the technology to provide the impulse energy to eject missiles from submerged submarines.

The African Union, AUDA-NEPAD partnership with OCP Group, a major African private sector player with extensive global reach, demonstrates a shared commitment to deepen collaboration with all actors, including the African private sector to reduce jointly hunger and poverty through the sustainable transformation of the agricultural sector on the continent.
OCP Group is a major player in Africa's sustainable development and does so by contributing to the African agricultural ecosystem through support to African farmers and targeted private and public African actors and stakeholder. The Group supports innovative mechanisms aimed at creating resilient and sustainable agricultural productivity to enable Africa to reach its full agricultural potential while protecting its natural environment.
This partnership is intended to facilitate effective coordination of the implementation and delivery of a set of goals as outlined in the African Union Malabo Business Plan on Agriculture Transformation which aims to increase productivity and catalyse private sector investment. As such, the parties aim to promote the use of agricultural inputs, including access to customised fertiliser to the soil and crops of each region, and to develop the efficiency of the fertiliser whole value chain by working on corridors approach.
The agreement will be operationalised by strengthening a conducive environment for private sector investment in agriculture; equipping African Union member states with the right policies and tools to support the achievement of the Abuja commitments on fertiliser use; strengthening efficient and sustainable use for smallholders to increase the sector's productivity and promote inclusive growth.
The Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) of the African Union monitored by the AUDA-NEPAD, is one of the continental frameworks under Agenda 2063 and it aims to help African countries eliminate hunger and reduce poverty by raising economic growth through agriculture-led development as well as promote increased national budget provision to the agriculture sector.

HEALTH DATA SUMMIT RIGA 2020
The Health Data Summit Riga "Toward Data-Driven Health: Sharing is Caring" is an online summit organized by Ministry of Health of Latvia, National Health Service and AmCham Latvia. It is the largest gathering of its kind in Latvia covering topics related to data governance in healthcare.
Even though patients are the focal point of healthcare, they are not always provided with sufficient information, attention, and compassion. A digital transformation needs to take place to make effective use of the available data, that would reshape the relationship between patients, healthcare providers and the healthcare system to meet the demand for personalized and outcome driven services.
The summit embraces a discussion on the most pressing healthcare needs illuminated by the global pandemic and focus on advancing data-driven healthcare. Progression will drive research and innovation and result in better quality of care for patients, increased efficiency and sustainability of healthcare systems.
Recommendations for a health data strategy and data-driven decision making are established while raising awareness of the necessity to invest in digitalization of health data and the benefits to be achieved for all stakeholders. The summit works as a catalyst in the development of a new user-friendly and sustainable digital healthcare system in Latvia.

John Pomeroy, Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), has been awarded one of Canada's top honours for outstanding contributions to environmental science.
Pomeroy, who is among the world's most renowned snow hydrologists, will be presented with the Miroslaw Romanowski Medal from the Royal Society of Canada at a ceremony in Ottawa on November 22, 2019. The award recognizes his exceptional contribution to snow research and the cold-season hydrology of mountain regions.
"John's landmark discoveries over his 30-year career have changed the field of hydrology and are critical to cutting-edge understanding of climate warming in cold regions," said Karen Chad, vice president of research at USask. "His stellar accomplishments have helped make USask a national leader in water security research, addressing this global challenge with new science, technology, and policy."
John Pomeroy is director of the USask-led Global Water Futures (GWF) program, the world's largest freshwater research program. An initiative of USask's Global Institute for Water Security, GWF is funded in part with $77.8 million from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
He studies on snow distribution, snow cover evolution and energy balance, snow melt, and runoff have defined current understanding of climate warming impacts in cold regions.
Pomeroy uses sophisticated computer simulation models to predict future water supply and quality. The algorithms he has developed have been incorporated into water and climate models around the world. His Cold Regions Hydrological Model is now the standard predictive model in Western Canada.
"He has done more than any hydrologist today in developing what we understand about the science and modelling of cold region processes fundamental to Canada's resources," said Danny Marks, a U.S. Department of Agriculture research hydrologist and former president of the International Commission on Snow and Ice Hydrology.
A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Pomeroy leads many international projects, including those for UNESCO, the World Climate Research Programme, and Future Earth. His expertise and advice are sought worldwide and he regularly provides advice to governments on new flood mitigation and flood damage policies. Pomeroy is committed to educating the public about pressing hydrological and climate change issues through frequent media interviews, public commentary, and talks.
The prestigious medal is awarded annually for significant contributions to the resolution of scientific aspects of environmental problems. The recipient receives both a bronze medal and $3,000. An annual lecture series for the award recipient is also associated with the medal.


Deploy the Device Management Agent with a Group Policy Object (GPO)
To deploy the BitTitan Device Management Agent (DMA) using a Group Policy Object (GPO), complete these steps:
 1. Download the DMA setup file from MSPComplete. Do NOT change the name of the setup file.
 2. Create a network share that is accessible to all of your customer's computers, and put the DMA setup file in the share folder.
 3. Create a Group Policy Object that forces the domain-joined computers in a security filter to execute the DMA setup file through a scheduled task.
These three steps are explained in greater detail below.
NOTE: Some environments have settings which can prevent the successful creation of GPO or the running of scheduled tasks. If you are unable to install DMA with a GPO, our recommendation would be to share the install file from step 1 below with your users either via a Shared Drive or via email in order to allow them to run it themselves. Alternately, you can create a MSI package which can be used to install DMA using your preferred software deployment tool, such as SCCM.
Step 1: Download the DMA setup file from MSPComplete.
 1. In MSPComplete, click on All Customers from the navigation sidebar.
 2. Click on the customer name for which you wish to deploy DMA.
 3. On the horizontal menu bar, click Users.
 4. Click Add Users, and then click Add Users via Device Management Agent
 5. On the Add Users via Device Management panel, click Device Management setup file to download the DMA setup file to your local drive. Please note that this file should not be renamed or altered in any way or it could cause issues when DMA is installed.
 Note: These instructions are more detailed than those listed in the Add Users via Device Management Agent panel.
Step 2: Create a network share that is accessible to all of your customer's computers, and put the DMA setup file in the share folder.
Note: For more information about Windows Server file and storage services, read File and Storage Services Overview.
 1. Log on to the file server as an administrator.
 2. Click Start and search for Server Manager.
 3. Click Server Manager from the search results.
 4. Click File and Storage Services
 5. Click Shares
 6. Next to Shares, click Tasks
 7. Click New Share
 8. Continue through the New Share Wizard prompts until finished, then click Create
 9. Right-click on the new share in Server Manager, and click Open Share
 10. Put the DMA setup file in the share.
 11. Write down the share's network path. This will be needed when creating the scheduled task.
Step 3: Create a Group Policy Object that forces the domain joined computers in a security filter to execute the DMA setup file through a scheduled task.
 1. Log on to the Active Directory Domain Controller as an administrator.
 2. Click Start and search for Group Policy Management.
 3. Click Group Policy Management
 4. Right-click on the desired Active Directory domain, and then click Create a GPO in this domain, and link it here.
 5. Enter a name for the GPO, and then click Ok.
 Note: By default, the GPO will apply to all users and computers that successfully authenticate to the Active Directory domain.
 6. To narrow the scope of computers that install DMA, select Authenticated Users, and click Remove
 7. To confirm the removal, click Ok.
 8. To add a new security filter, click Add.
 9. Type the name of the security group that the target computers are a member of, and click Check names
 10. Click Ok.
 11. Right-click on the new GPO, and then click Edit
 12. In the console tree, under Computer Configuration, click Preferences > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks.
 13. Right-click Scheduled Tasks and click on New, and then click on Immediate Task (At least Windows 7).
 Note: For more information about Scheduled Task Items, read the Configure a Scheduled Task Item TechNet article.
 14. Enter a name and a description for the Scheduled Task.
 15. Click Change User or Group
 16. Type "system" in the Object name text box.
 17. Click Check Names
 Note: Make sure that the system object name resolves to NT Authority\System.
 18. Under Security options, click Run whether a user is logged on or not and add a check next to Run with highest privileges.
 19. In the Configure for drop-down menu, select Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
 20. Click the Actions tab
 21. Click on New.
 22. In the Action drop-down menu, select Start a program
 23. In the Programs/script text box, enter the network path for the DMA setup file.
 Note: If you use the Browse button to find the location of the script, then it will add the path as c:\xxxx. This is incorrect since the script needs to include the UNC path and not the local path. Be sure to replace the c:\ format with the \\servername\sharename\ format.
 24. If the customer's computers use a proxy, you must add a command line parameter into the Add arguments field to ensure that DMA is able to transmit data through the proxy. Read the How do I deploy the Device Management Agent on computers that use a proxy? article for more information.
 25. Click Ok.
 26. Click the Conditions tab.
 27. Add a checkmark next to Start only if the following network connection is available, and then select Any connection.
 28. Click Ok
 29. Close Group Policy Management Editor, and then close Group Policy Management.
The DMA setup file will execute on user computers at the next Group Policy refresh, typically every 90 minutes, with a random offset of 0 to 30 minutes.

I want to get the string length when a key is pressed like StackOverflow does.
Example of StackOverflow showing length
I have tried to do this with onblur, but it's not working. How do I do this?
share|improve this question
use onkeyup/onkeydown event. Could you post the code you tried? – Fabrizio Calderan Jun 15 '12 at 8:02
Is your problem really getting the length of a string? – Bergi Jun 15 '12 at 8:04
onblur refers to the opposite of focus, i.e. you are leaving the field. This is not the appropriate event handler. – Jeff Watkins Jun 15 '12 at 8:04
He just ask for the right event to bind a function to – Trinh Hoang Nhu Jun 15 '12 at 8:07

As for the question which event you should use for this: use the input event, and fall back to keyup/keydown in older browsers.
Here's an example, DOM0-style:
someElement.oninput = function() {
 this.onkeydown = null;
 // Your code goes here
someElement.onkeydown = function() {
 // Your code goes here
The other question is how to count the number of characters in the string. Depending on your definition of "character", all answers posted so far are incorrect. The string.length answer is only reliable when you're certain that only BMP Unicode symbols will be entered. For example, 'a'.length == 1, as you'd expect.
However, for supplementary (non-BMP) symbols, things are a bit different. For example, '𝌆'.length == 2, even though there's only one Unicode symbol there. This is because JavaScript exposes UCS-2 code units as "characters".
Luckily, it's still possible to count the number of Unicode symbols in a JavaScript string through some hackery. You could use Punycode.js's utility functions to convert between UCS-2 strings and Unicode code points for this:
// 'String.length' replacement that only counts full Unicode characters
punycode.ucs2.decode('a').length; // 1
punycode.ucs2.decode('𝌆').length; // 1 (note that ''𝌆'.length == 2'!)
P.S. I just noticed the counter script that Stack Overflow uses gets this wrong. Try entering 𝌆, and you'll see that it (incorrectly) counts as two characters.
share|improve this answer
𝌆 isn't even supported by standard Microsoft web fonts, so the likelihood of its usage is quite low, imho. EDIT: I could be wrong... It definitely doesn't appear in the answer body above, tho. – bvukelic Jul 25 '12 at 12:34
It's just an example. Feel free to replace it with any astral (i.e. non-BMP) Unicode symbol. – Mathias Bynens Jul 25 '12 at 13:16
Thanks for pointing that out. Most english speakers overlook that problem. – Gastón Sánchez Jan 6 '14 at 3:38
Use keyup event:
0
var inp = document.getElementById('myinput');
var chars = document.getElementById('chars');
inp.onkeyup = function() {
 chars.innerHTML = inp.value.length;
Just a note for those that suggest keydown. That won't work. The keydown fires before character is added to the input box or textarea, so the length of the value would be wrong (one step behind). Therefore, the only solution that works is keyup, which fires after the character is added.
share|improve this answer
I suggest you post your code here too - its more helpful when the target site it unavailable – ManseUK Jun 15 '12 at 8:08
Thanks for suggestion. Updated. – bvukelic Jun 15 '12 at 8:12
This is outdated advice. Use the more appropriate input event where available, then fall back to keyup/keydown. Also, note that this doesn't count the number of symbols in the string correctly. – Mathias Bynens Jun 15 '12 at 9:42
It might not be cutting edge, but it seems to work rather well. It's certainly not deprecated (at least not to my knowledge). – bvukelic Jun 15 '12 at 9:44
_USER_ The keyup event won't fire if you enter text by pasting (without using the keyboard), or by dragging text in; or when dictating text, for example. The input event does. As a bonus, the input event fires before you even lift up your key — making it feel much faster. – Mathias Bynens Jun 15 '12 at 13:08
You should bind a function to keyup event
textarea.keyup = function(){
with jquery
 var length = $(this).val().length;
share|improve this answer
function cool(d)
it will return the length of string
Instead of blur use keydown event
share|improve this answer
 var myString ='sample String'; var length = myString.length ;
first you need to defined a keypressed handler or some kind of a event trigger to listen, btw, getting the length is really simple like mentioned above
share|improve this answer
The quick and dirty way would be to simple bind to the keyup event. For example : _URL_
 $('_TAG_').text('you typed'+ this.value.length +'characters');
But better would be to bind a reusable function to several events. For example also to the change(), so you can also anticipate text changes such as pastes (with the context menu, shortcuts would also be caught by the keyup )
share|improve this answer
I'm not sure what you mean by having tried it onblur, but to get the length of any string, use its.length property, so in the case of a textbox or textarea:
Changing that ID, of course, to whatever the actual ID is.
share|improve this answer
The OP is talking about the event used - onblur – ManseUK Jun 15 '12 at 8:09
Basically: assign a keyup handler to the element, in it count the length of the and write the count to a separate if its length is shorter than a minimum value.
Here's is an example

Delineation of Saline Water Intrusion Lateral Extent Using Hydro-chemically and Geo-electrically Derived CRS - Model Parameters - A Case Study of Eastern Dahomey Basin, Nigeria
This study was another attempt to map the subsurface lateral extent of saline water intrusions into aquifers at the eastern part of Dahomey basin, Nigeria. The study comprised geo-electric sounding method consisting of 108 vertical electrical soundings (VES) data acquired using Schlumberger array technique and hydro-chemical analysis of 61 water samples. The geoelectric survey results were presented as average longitudinal Conductance and average longitudinal Resistivity maps. The longitudinal conductance values vary from moderate to high (20 - 180 mhos) in the coastal areas, while lower values (lesser than 10 mhos) were recorded in the mainlands. Conversely the average longitudinal resistivity values were low to moderate (0.26 - 41.7 ohm-m) in the coastal areas and in few places such as Agbabu, Legbogbo and Sabomi in the mainland, while higher values (more than 60 ohm-m) were obtained from the mainlands. The hydro-chemical analysis results was presented as equivalent Salinity map; its values range from 25.8 mg/l (Ode-Irele) to 2808 mg/l (Asisa), high values were obtained from Ugbo, Ugbonla, Odonla, Idogun and Ayetoro area in the southeastern part of the study area and likewise at Agbabu in the north central part of the study area. The results were synthesized using CRS-model. The final CRS-model map showed that the saline water intrusion extended to 35 % of the total area which covers; most part of the coastal area and Agbabu in the mainland.
Keywords: Saline water intrusion, saline-freshwater boundary, vertical electrical sounding (VES), hydrochemical analysis, synthesis and CRS-model.

Zero Waste Event at Ohanyan Educational Complex
On November 8, 2022, Ms. Natia Natsvlishvili, UNDP Resident Representative in Armenia, Mr. John Gallagher, UK Ambassador to Armenia as well as representatives from different international organizations, government institutions and diplomatic missions in Armenia took part in the demo event organized jointly by the UNDP/GEF Small Grants Programme and ISSD NGO at Ohanyan Educational Complex. The event included tree planting at the school orchard and demonstration of composting technology to promote a zero-waste culture and increase public awareness on the importance of composting among schoolchildren.
"…Today's event is our contribution to the country's commitments to increase the percentage of tree-planted areas in Armenia. And by assigning the schoolchildren as care takers, we hope that the planted orchard will be duly maintained" – Ms. Natia Natsvlishvili mentioned during her speech.
The ISSD NGO trainers conducted a masterclass for the guests and schoolchildren on composting and explained its importance for the environment.
During the event the schoolchildren of the educational complex were assigned trees planted in the name of guests and received symbolic passports to record any activities they performed to take care of the trees.

Inhibitory Effect of Polyethylene Oxide and Polypropylene Oxide Triblock Copolymers on Aggregation and Fusion of Atherogenic Low Density Lipoproteins.
PMID 26547074
Abstract
Triblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) (so-called pluronics) were shown to influence the aggregation and fusion of atherogenic low density lipoproteins (atLDL) and be able to inhibit these processes. The character of the influence and the degree of the stabilizing effect depended on the structure, relative hydrophobicity, and concentration of the copolymer. Pluronics L61, P85, and L64 characterized by the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value from 3 to 16 had the greatest ability to suppress the aggregation of atLDL. Pluronic L81 with the higher hydrophobicity (HLB = 2) partially inhibited atLDL aggregation at low concentrations but stimulated it at high concentrations. The influence of pluronics did not have a direct connection with their ability for micelle formation, but it was realized through individual macromolecules. We suppose that effects of pluronics could be due to their interaction with the lipid component of LDL and to a possible influence of these copolymers on the structure and hydrophilic-lipophilic characteristics of lipoproteins.

In the case of closed loop control, the centrifugal pump can be operated at a higher flow rate than is available in the pipeline.
To do this, a bypass flow is branched out, which can either direct the pump return nozzle from the pump outlet through a narrow loop or reintegrate with the suction side flow through a different device (e.g., after a delay). Condenser and cooling unit.
When used as a balancing device, the bypass is used to compensate for the axial thrust of the boiler feed pump.
Reasons for integrating bypasses:
Operation mode: stop further operation of the pump in the low flow range
Closed-loop control: suitable for pump input power curve to tilt downward to achieve high flow pump (such as propeller pump, peripheral pump)
Thermodynamics: in order to prevent the fluid being processed from becoming hot in the low flow range. Bypass flow is shunted by an automatic recirculation valve (see
Valves usually installed on the discharge nozzles of high pressure and ultra-high pressure pumps (e.g. boiler feed pumps).

Scouts – Digital Activity Stage 1 badge
Digital detectives
How to earn your badge
You will need
 - Scrap paper
 - Pens or pencils
 - Character profiles (below)
Be a digital detective
 1. This activity is to help you remember that whenever you go online you leave a digital footprint made up of everything you do, and every interaction you have, online.
A digital footprint is a trail of data that people leave when they're online. Every email, social media post, website visit, and subscription adds to the trail, and lots of these remain online for many years. Everyone leaves a digital footprint – it's important to think about it before posting or writing anything online.
 1. There are three character profiles below. Pick one character profile and read through it. What do you think the person you have chosen is like? Can you create a character from the information you have about the person?.
You may want to jot down some ideas or make and label a drawing to help you think about it.
 1. You can email and tell us what you think about your character – imagine you are introducing a new friend. Add as much detail as you can, but don't make things up – it should all be based on the evidence from their social media profiles.
Give friendly advice
 1. Once you've thought about your character profiles, what advice would you give your character to help keep themselves safe, maintain privacy, or make more positive decisions.
For example, Kate shouldn't publicly post that's she on her own somewhere (to keep herself safe), Arun shouldn't share their teacher's name (or unkind comments about other people), and Taylor shouldn't take or post videos that poke fun at other people.
 1. Why should the characters think about following your advice?
 2. Remember to tell a trusted adult if you feel uncomfortable about anything online.
This activity was all about understanding communication. How much could you work out about the characters from just a few social media posts? A handful of posts only show a small snapshot of what someone's like, so it's important not to make lots of assumptions. Do people find it tempting to make assumptions about people based on their social media (for example, if someone acts as through they're very popular and outgoing, is it easy to assume they're like that in real life? Is that always true?)?
This activity was also about being a citizen. How may the content the characters posted on social media have affected others? For example, Taylor's video may have upset the person in it, Arun's post may offend Miss Take, or Kate's post may have made her brother feel sad. It's important to remember that lots of people may look at someone's social media – it's not just their friends, it could be family members (including parents), potential friends, or even potential employers. What messages do the characters' social media interactions give to these people? Fast forward 10 years. How may the characters feel about these interactions now? What advice would everyone's future selves give their current selves about social media?

Seeing the Story Crystal Clear
Reading to Learn
When students read they need to be able to comprehend, or understand, what they are reading. Visualization is a very important part in this. Visualization means that students picture in their minds what is happening in the literature they are reading. This is important because it helps students remember what they have read. This lesson will help students visualize in their minds what is going on in the story which, in turn, will help with their comprehension.
Power point with poems "The Land of Happy" "Stone Telling" and "The Worst" all by Shel Silverstein from Where the Sidewalk Ends
Enough copies of Tuck Everlasting for each student
Paper for students to draw pictures on
Art Supplies for each Student
1. Today we are going to be reading some more of Tuck Everlasting. Before we start that we are going to talk about visualization. Visualization is when you picture what you are reading in your brain. You are painting a picture of what is going on in the story in your mind. I want you to each think about going on an adventure to the moon. Think about what it would look like and what you would need to bring.
2. Ok share with your partner what you thought about. Ok (call on a couple of students to share what they thought of). That is interesting several of you thought of different things. You each had a different picture that you thought of in your brain. You each just visualized what you thought an adventure to the moon would be like. When you read a story the author tells you what to picture in your brain. They write describing words to tell you what they want you to visualize. Visualization is very important because it will help you comprehend the story when you can see what is going on in the story.
3. Now we are going to practice. I am going to read you a poem it is called "The Land
Of Happy" by Shel Silverstein:
Have you been to The Land of Happy,
Where everyone's happy all day,
Where they joke and they sing
Of the happiest things,
And everything's jolly and gay?
There's no one unhappy in Happy,
There's laughter and smiles galore.
I have been to The Land of Happy-----
What a bore!
So when I read that poem I picture a bright and colorful land where everyone is smiling, laughing, and playing. No one is frowning or crying.
4. Now I am going to read another poem by Shel Silverstein and I want you to be visualizing it in your head. The poem is called Stone Telling
How do we tell if a window is open?
Just throw a stone at it.
Ok so in this part of the poem I see an open space and someone throwing a stone at it.
Does it make a noise?
What do you picture so far in this poem? (call on a few students)
Well, I was open.
Now let's try another…
What was the last picture you had in your brain? (Students should say a broken window.)
5. Now I am going to read you one more poem. I want you to visualize it in your brain. This poem is also by Shel Silverstein and it is called The Worst
When singing songs of scariness,
Of bloodiness and hairyness,
I feel obligated at this moment to remind you
Of the most ferocious beast of all:
Three thousand pounds and nine feet tall---
The Glurpy Slurpy Skakagrall---
Who's standing right behind you.
Now talk with your partners about what you visualized. After students have had some time to share call on a couple of students to share with the class.
6. Now I am going to read you a short description and I want you to visualize it in your head. Cats are color blind so they only see in black in white. Fluffy the cat's favorite color is purple. Ok so what did you picture in your hear? (call on a couple of students) Good if a cat did not know what color was what then her favorite color could not be purple.
7. Who can remind me why visualizing is important? ( call on students to answer. Students should say to help you picture the story in your brain, to help you know what the story is about, etc.) Now that we have practiced visualization with the poems I want you to use this skill, that will help you comprehend the story, while we read Tuck Everlasting.
Before we start reading let's go over some vocabulary. Our first word is galling. Galling means annoying and irritating. Our second word is pruned. Pruned means cut to look nice like pruned plants. Our third word is battered. Battered means torn up and worn out.
8. We are going to start where we left off on chapter five. Who can remember what we have read so far? That is good so far, We have met the Fosters and Winnie, the daughter, talked to a stranger in the front yard. While Winnie and her grandmother were talking to the stranger they heard music. Winnie's grandmother said it was elves' music. Let's see what happens the next day to Winnie. As you are reading I want you to visualize what the author is describing to you. We are going to partner read. I want one partner to read one paragraph and the next partner to read the next paragraph and so on. At the end of the chapter I want you to discuss with your partners what you visualized in the chapter.
9. To finish today's talk about visualization, I want you to draw a picture to show me what you saw in your brain while reading chapter 5. You should include the characters that you read about in this chapter and what the setting was like. If you need to you can draw more than one picture on one piece of paper. Include details that the author included in the story. At the bottom of you drawing write two or three sentences about what you visualized in this chapter. I will not be grading you on your artistic abilities just that you show me correctly what the author was trying to get you to visualize as you were reading the story.
Allow students 20 minutes to draw their picture. Then grade their drawings by following this checklist:
Did the student draw a picture?
Does the picture relate to Chapter 5?
Does the picture correctly depict what was read in Chapter 5?
Does the picture portray comprehension of Chapter 5?
Did the student include two to three sentences about their drawing?
Ask them a visualization question that does not make sense. Have them tell you why it does not make sense. For example, "It was a cold snowy day. When Henry got dressed the morning he put on flip flops and shorts." What is wrong with the picture in your hear?

Effect of On-Road Vehicular Traffic on Noise Pollution in Bhubaneswar City, Eastern India
Vehicular traffic on the road-side plays a significant role in affecting the noise pollution in most of the cities over the world. To assess the correlation of the road-traffic on noise pollution in the city environment, continuous measurements were carried out in an entire daytime starting from 8:00 AM IST to 6:00 PM IST at a single point for each 5 minutes (8:00-8:05, 9:00-9:05, 10:00-10:05 AM, ...) near the KIIT University campus road. Noise levels were observed using a mobile operated app of android cell phone and a handheld noise meter. Calibration analysis shows high correlation about 0.89 for the study location for the day time period. Results show diurnal variability of atmospheric noise pollution levels go hand-in and with the vehicular number which pass through a point of observation. The range of noise pollution levels in the daytime period is observed as 55 to 75 dB(A). As a day starts, sudden upsurge of noise levels is observed from 65 to 71 dB(A) in the early morning, 64 dB(A) in late morning, regains the same quantity 68-71 dB(A) in the afternoon, and rises 70 dB(A) in the early evening. Vehicular number of the corresponding noise levels exhibits 115-120, 150-160, and 140-160, respectively. However, this preliminary study suggests the importance of vehicular traffic on noise pollution levels in the urban environment and further to study population exposed to noise levels. Innovative approaches help curb the noise pollution through modelling the traffic noise pollution spatially and temporally over the city environments.


Dry sump lubrication in F1 engines
By on
The dry sump lubrication system is a design that intends to lubricate the engine's internal parts to provide optimal performance of the engine itself. It is currently the best system for high performance engines and is widely used in Formula One, Le Mans, IRL and other well known racing series.
Lubrication systems for a four-stroke, reciprocating piston engine can be categorised in just two groups: the wet sump design and the dry sump system. Both systems rely on an oil reservoir from which oil is drawn with a pump and spread around the engine for lubrication and cooling purposes. All oil is then allowed to flow back to the reservoir from where the cycle restarts.
Wet sump lubrication is the most widely used system as it is more cost efficient and perfectly adequate for normal passenger vehicles. In this design, the oil of the engine is stored in a sump located under the crankshaft as an integral part of the engine block. The oil pans' capacity can range from 3 to 7 litre, depending on the engine's size and purpose. From this pan, the oil is pumped up a pick-up tube and supplied to the engine under pressure. A wet sump design has several advantages, including its low cost, low weight and its simplicity. Because the sump is an internal part of the engine, there is no need for tubes to circulate the oil from the reservoir to the engine, reducing chances of leaks.
Despite its advantages, a wet sump system is unsuitable for racing purposes.Formula One cars for example experience lateral G-forces of up to 3G in mid corner. Such centrifugal accelleration would pull all oil to one side of the sump, possibly leaving the engine without oil for a short period. The latter phenomenon is also known as oil starvation. When performance and reliability matter, such a situation is unacceptable. To resolve this issue, the dry sump system was designed and is now in use in all major racing series.
The dry sump system literally keeps the sump of the engine dry and allows for it to be produced small, giving a further advantage to lower the engine's centre of gravity and reduce its empty weight. The design differs from a wet sump in its external oil tank. Again, the oil is pumped into the engine at elevated pressure and then flows down to the engine's sump. While it was previously held there, the oil is now sucked away from the engine by one or more scavenger pumps, run by belts or gears from the crankshaft, usually at around half the crank speed.
Application in Formula One
The oil tank attached ahead of the Toyota RVX106 engineAs mentioned, all current F1 engines include a dry sump system, quite simply because it is impossible to create a similar high revving engines with a wet sump system. Due to the engine freeze, all engines also have a similar layout as the fuel tank is located ahead of the engine, just behind the driver. The oil pump that rotates the oil through the engine is - as required by the regulations - driven by the crankshaft through gears.
One of the providers of the required high performing lubricants is Shell, the supplier of Ferrari. Shell Technology Manager for Ferrari, Dr. Lisa Lilley explains: "Engine lubricant is critical. The very lifeblood of the engine, its job is to protect the moving parts from mechanical wear, reduce friction and power loss and cool the engine as it endures extreme track conditions. It takes a good engine lubricant to achieve just the right balance of these characteristics, while ensuring the car's performance is optimised, no energy is wasted and maximum power is delivered to the engine."
The first job of Shell Helix is to protect all the moving parts that rub together from mechanical wear. The oil is fed to the bearings of the camshafts to lubricate, minimising friction and wear, thereby enhancing the engine's reliability. The enormous forces required to open the valves quickly enough at 19,000 rev/min must also be transmitted through a lubricant effectively and without failure.
The engine is exposed to extreme conditions and high temperatures as it turns. The 'multi-tasking' lubricant is designed to take away the heat, controlling the engine temperature and preventing the heat from having a detrimental affect. The ability of an engine oil to cool as well as lubricate is often overlooked. Pistons can exceed temperatures of 300°C; engine oil is sprayed on the underside of the pistons to keep them cool - without this extra protection they would undoubtedly fail in a race.
When you consider that the oil flow around the engine is faster than the speed of the Ferrari Formula One car, this gives you an idea of the extreme conditions in a Formula One engine," says Dr. Lilley. "At Shell we have a team dedicated to tailoring Shell Helix engine oil for the Ferrari so that we can ensure reliability and protection but we can also guarantee the car is receiving the most horsepower possible."
The oil reservoir in front of a F1 engine Lubricated camshaft
Oil is pumped from the "dry sump" oil tank on the front of the engine into the "distribution network" within the cylinder block and heads, which ensures it gets directly to all critical engine components Lubricant is fed to the bearings of the camshafts to minimise friction and wear and also to lubricate the critical cam-to-follower interfaces, where the enormous forces required to open the valves quickly enough at 19,000 rev/min must be transmitted through a layer of lubricant efficiently and without failure
Crankshaft lubrication Oil is sprayed on the cylinders to provide cooling
The lubricant is fed down the middle of the crankshaft, coming out inside the bearings to keep them working. The lubricant flung off these bearings then creates a film on the cylinder walls, on which the pistons and rings run smoothly to ensure minimum power losses and mechanical wear The lubricant squirts onto the underside of the pistons from small nozzles on the distribution network, to take away heat
Oil is sucked away by the scavenge pumps Ferrari cutout engine view
The used lubricant is sucked away from the bottom of the crankcase by the scavenge pumps, to be cooled in radiators and returned to the oil tank, refreshed and ready to start its circuit of the engine again The "camera" exits the engine, showing a fully lubricated engine

ga
Find minimum of function using genetic algorithm
Syntax
x = ga(fun,nvars)
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b)
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq)
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub)
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,nonlcon)
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,nonlcon,options)
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,[],[],lb,ub,nonlcon,IntCon)
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,[],[],lb,ub,nonlcon,IntCon,options)
x = ga(problem)
[x,fval] = ga(___)
[x,fval,exitflag,output] = ga(___)
[x,fval,exitflag,output,population,scores] = ga(___)
Description
example
x = ga(fun,nvars) finds a local unconstrained minimum, x, to the objective function, fun. nvars is the dimension (number of design variables) of fun.
Note
Passing Extra Parameters (Optimization Toolbox) explains how to pass extra parameters to the objective function and nonlinear constraint functions, if necessary.
example
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b) finds a local minimum x to fun, subject to the linear inequalities A*x ≤ b. ga evaluates the matrix product A*x as if x is transposed (A*x').
example
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq) finds a local minimum x to fun, subject to the linear equalities Aeq*x = beq and A*x ≤ b. (Set A=[] and b=[] if no linear inequalities exist.) ga evaluates the matrix product Aeq*x as if x is transposed (Aeq*x').
example
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub) defines a set of lower and upper bounds on the design variables, x, so that a solution is found in the range lb x ub. (Set Aeq=[] and beq=[] if no linear equalities exist.)
example
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,nonlcon) subjects the minimization to the constraints defined in nonlcon. The function nonlcon accepts x and returns vectors C and Ceq, representing the nonlinear inequalities and equalities respectively. ga minimizes the fun such that C(x) 0 and Ceq(x) = 0. (Set lb=[] and ub=[] if no bounds exist.)
example
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,Aeq,beq,lb,ub,nonlcon,options) minimizes with the default optimization parameters replaced by values in options. (Set nonlcon=[] if no nonlinear constraints exist.) Create options using optimoptions.
example
x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,[],[],lb,ub,nonlcon,IntCon) or x = ga(fun,nvars,A,b,[],[],lb,ub,nonlcon,IntCon,options) requires that the variables listed in IntCon take integer values.
Note
When there are integer constraints, ga does not accept linear or nonlinear equality constraints, only inequality constraints.
x = ga(problem) finds the minimum for problem, where problem is a structure.
example
[x,fval] = ga(___), for any previous input arguments, also returns fval, the value of the fitness function at x.
example
[x,fval,exitflag,output] = ga(___) also returns exitflag, an integer identifying the reason the algorithm terminated, and output, a structure that contains output from each generation and other information about the performance of the algorithm.
example
[x,fval,exitflag,output,population,scores] = ga(___) also returns a matrix population, whose rows are the final population, and a vector scores, the scores of the final population.

Personality, sexual orientation impact online dating service usage
Personality, sexual orientation impact online dating service usage
Posted 2015 april
Your character and intimate orientation could impact the method that you utilize online dating services — just because your uses usually do not consist of locating a life partner, based on new research led by SF State researcher Chris Clemens.
Assistant Professor of Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts Chris Clemens
Clemens, an assistant teacher of broadcast and electronic communication arts, and his colleagues surveyed 687 visitors to see if character faculties, biological sex or intimate orientation could anticipate why they utilized online dating sites such as for instance or eHarmony.
The scientists unearthed that females had been not as likely than men to make use of web sites to locate sexual lovers, but more prone to utilize them become social, for instance by maintaining in contact with people they do not usually see or by requesting relationship advice or help. Homosexual users had been much more likely than heterosexual users to take web sites for many reasons, including finding a relationship or perhaps a intimate partner. Homosexual research individuals had been additionally more prone to utilize the internet internet web sites as being a convenient solution to communicate or being a distraction from everyday tasks.
The heavy utilization of the internet internet web sites by homosexuals could possibly be specially essential, due to the fact web web web sites might provide a space that is safe individuals "in regions of the nation where becoming a down homosexual just isn't fundamentally the best thing," stated Clemens. "they provide a method to have the ability to satisfy others without dealing with ramifications, either social or physical."
The analysis, posted when you look at the journal Computers in Human Behavior, additionally included concerns to ascertain every person's principal character characteristics. The outcomes advised that individuals who scored saturated in regards to neurotic characteristics — experiencing anxious, depressed, moody or having insecurity — had been more prone to make use of the online dating sites as being a convenient friend, as a distraction or in an effort to build an internet identification that aided them "live away a dream" or escape some facet of their offline life. Ladies and homosexuals tended to highly score more for neurotic faculties in this research.
Clemens stated individuals might not be conscious of all of the reasons they move to online sites that are dating. "I do not think individuals are necessarily considering why they're going he explained on them. "But i do believe each goes returning to them due to the gratifications from them. which they have"
321chat reviews
In some instances, the scientists' predictions did not pan away in the research
As an example, Clemens and their colleagues had been astonished to discover that people that are extroverted no more likely than the others to make use of the websites become social, build an identification or find intimate lovers, while they thought may be the scenario.
"I became sort of amazed that none of these findings was statistically significant, since you would believe that individuals who had been more outbound could be happy to make use of more networks to keep in touch with individuals," said Clemens. "But we reasoned which they may possibly choose interactions actually or one on one, rather than through mediated communication stations."
The analysis individuals included 584 pupils from the university that is northeastern had been almost equally split between people and had been mostly amongst the many years of 18 and 20. The rest of the 94 individuals were drawn through the basic populace and had been more evenly split between individuals within their 20s, 30s and 40s.
The scientists "didn't inquire about just just what web web sites the folks utilize, but we want to do that in the future studies," Clemens noted, "especially utilizing the increase of new apps like Tinder and Grindr along with other mobile choices."
Clemens, whom came across his very own partner through your website OkCupid, stated he hopes their research "provides some information on the various types of individuals who head to internet dating sites in addition to forms of items that businesses could put on the websites that may make sure they are more desirable."
By way of example, he along with his peers suggest incorporating a talk function to the web sites "for people who wish to be social that can not require to check out merely a stagnant profile photo."
