1966, Easter Sunday
Joey Skaggs created a two hundred pound sculpture depicting a naked rotting skeletal corpse with a human skull, a barbed wire crown of thorns, long human hair, and a metal penis dangling between the legs, to protest the hypocrisy of the Church and man's inhumanity to man. He attached it to a ten foot tall cross made of telephone poles. Casts of his own hands and sculpted feet were pierced by railroad spikes, attaching the body to the cross.
Early Easter morning, Skaggs and an entourage of friends dragged the Crucifix to the top of a barren knoll in Tompkins Square Park on the Lower East Side in New York City. The Crucifix was eventually attacked by irate on-lookers and partially destroyed. Skaggs was confronted by police and City Parks officials and was summonsed. He had to appear in court to answer charges of violating City Park regulations where he was fined and released.
1967, Easter Sunday
skaggs-cruc-1967-198The Crucifix sculpture was shown at a New York University exhibition called Angry Artists: Artists Against the War in Vietnam. During the exhibition, the piece was taken down, broken, and placed into a 55 gallon trash can. Skaggs was told by NYU officials to go get it. When he went to retrieve it, he was thrown down a flight of stairs by two NYU guards who were offended by the piece. Skaggs threatened a law suit. NYU had a hearing and apologized.
After repairing it, he took the sculpture to Central Park and erected it during a "Be-In" held on Easter Sunday. Skaggs and the sculpture can be seen in this clip from the film "Ciao! Manhattan." As Edie Sedgwick, the star of the film, climbs (or rather is pushed) up the rock to where the Crucifix sculpture is standing, Skaggs, on the far left, reaches out to help her.
1968, Easter Sunday
Skaggs erected the Crucifix again in 1968 at the Central Park Easter Be-In which had become a peace rally. An estimated 90,000 people were there. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated ten days earlier. His wife, Coretta Scott King spoke in his place.
Anticipating future trouble, assuming the Crucifix would be damaged for a third time the next time he took it out, he built a duplicate copy. It was the duplicate that he carried into the Easter Parade on 5th Avenue the next year.
1969, Easter Sunday
Skaggs dragged the Crucifix sculpture through the Easter Parade up Fifth Avenue to the doors of St. Patrick's Cathedral. As he turned towards the Cathedral, the doors slammed shut and the police converged around him. People in the crowd shouted "Kill him, kill him," and police officers kicked the cross into his back. They then made him drag it around the corner to a paddy wagon, all the while threatening, cursing, and kicking him.
The Crucifix fell to the ground and police officers stomped it to pieces. Skaggs seized the opportunity to bolt down the block to Madison Avenue where he jumped into a taxi and escaped. Having anticipated such a problem, he kept the original sculpture in tact for perhaps another day.

Eric Gill, Catholic pacifist, socialist and critic, punchcutter, sculptor, and wood engraver led a life of contradictions. His type designs for Monotype cut across his opposition to industrial manufacture; his religious views contradicted his life of sensual adventure. A student of Edward Johnston, he admitted to being "struck, as by lightning" as Johnston led his new friend into the world of scribes and illustrators within the Arts and Crafts Movement. He became a letterer and stonecutter.
Married in 1904, he moved in 1905 to Hammersmith, where he fell in with William Morris, Emery Walker, Edward Johnston, Cobden Sanderson and the Arts and Crafts Movement. In 1913 the couple were converted to Catholicism, and Gill began work on the Stations of the Cross in Westminster Cathedral, sculptures with magnificent lettering.
In 1925 Stanley Morison at the Monotype Corporation commissioned the drawings for Gill's first typeface, Perpetua. He believed that Gill's work with stone inscriptions prepared him for steel punches. These were hand cut by Charles Malin from Deberny & Peignot. During this period Edward Johnston and Eric Gill worked on sans serifs from a common source. Gill distinguished the results by pointing out that Gill Sans was designed purely for text, while Johnston's face was display.
In 1930 Gill designed Joanna for Hague & Gill, a remarkable face returning to Renaissance principles. The roman and italic share a set of upright capitals, following the sixteenth century model of Aldus, the first printer to use italic. In 1958 Monotype released a less radical model. Gill went on to design ten series.

Dilation (usually represented by ) is one of the basic operations in mathematical morphology. Originally developed for binary images, it has been expanded first to grayscale images, and then to complete lattices. The dilation operation usually uses a structuring element for probing and expanding the shapes contained in the input image.
Contents
Binary dilationEdit

The dilation of dark-blue square by a disk, resulting in the light-blue square with rounded corners.
In binary morphology, dilation is a shift-invariant (translation invariant) operator, equivalent to Minkowski addition.
A binary image is viewed in mathematical morphology as a subset of a Euclidean space Rd or the integer grid Zd, for some dimension d. Let E be a Euclidean space or an integer grid, A a binary image in E, and B a structuring element regarded as a subset of Rd.
The dilation of A by B is defined by

where Ab is the translation of A by b.
Dilation is commutative, also given by .
If B has a center on the origin, then the dilation of A by B can be understood as the locus of the points covered by B when the center of B moves inside A. The dilation of a square of size 10, centered at the origin, by a disk of radius 2, also centered at the origin, is a square of side 14, with rounded corners, centered at the origin. The radius of the rounded corners is 2.
The dilation can also be obtained by , where Bs denotes the symmetric of B, that is, .
ExampleEdit
Suppose A is the following 11 x 11 matrix and B is the following 3 x 3 matrix:
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0
 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1
 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1
 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1
 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0

 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
For each pixel in A that has a value of 1, superimpose B, with the center of B aligned with the corresponding pixel in A.
Each pixel of every superimposed B is included in the dilation of A by B.
The dilation of A by B is given by this 11 x 11 matrix.
 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0
Properties of binary dilationEdit
Here are some properties of the binary dilation operator
 - It is translation invariant.
 - It is increasing, that is, if , then .
 - It is commutative.
 - If the origin of E belongs to the structuring element B, then it is extensive, i.e., .
 - It is associative, i.e., .
 - It is distributive over set union
Grayscale dilationEdit
In grayscale morphology, images are functions mapping a Euclidean space or grid E into , where is the set of reals, is an element greater than any real number, and is an element less than any real number.
Grayscale structuring elements are also functions of the same format, called "structuring functions".
Denoting an image by f(x) and the structuring function by b(x), the grayscale dilation of f by b is given by

where "sup" denotes the supremum.
Flat structuring functionsEdit

Example of dilation on a grayscale image using a 5x5 flat structuring element. The top figure demonstrates the application of the structuring element window to the individual pixels of the original image. The bottom figure shows the resulting dilated image.
It is common to use flat structuring elements in morphological applications. Flat structuring functions are functions b(x) in the form

where .
In this case, the dilation is greatly simplified, and given by

(Suppose x = (pxqx), z = (pzqz), then x − z = (px − pzqx − qz).)
In the bounded, discrete case (E is a grid and B is bounded), the supremum operator can be replaced by the maximum. Thus, dilation is a particular case of order statistics filters, returning the maximum value within a moving window (the symmetric of the structuring function support B).
Dilation on complete latticesEdit
Complete lattices are partially ordered sets, where every subset has an infimum and a supremum. In particular, it contains a least element and a greatest element (also denoted "universe").
Let be a complete lattice, with infimum and supremum symbolized by and , respectively. Its universe and least element are symbolized by U and , respectively. Moreover, let be a collection of elements from L.
A dilation is any operator that distributes over the supremum, and preserves the least element. That is, the following are true:

Integrated water purification equipment manufacturers
As a well-known integrated water purification equipment manufacturer, Shangqing Environmental Protection has been committed to the production and research and development of integrated water purification equipment. The process of the production equipment is the same as the purification process of water supply plants in cities. Its components are as follows :
1. Filter tank: The water after precipitation flows to the filter tank for filtration, the structure is: the bottom is a water distribution pipe, the middle is quartz sand, and the clear water flows into the clear water for disinfection and drinking.
2. Coagulation tank: The raw water added with coagulant enters the coagulation tank through the water inlet pipe, and is agitated with a special mixer to make the suspended matter in the water and the coagulant fully contact and react to form alum. Generally, a water purification device uses a vortex reaction to mix water and a coagulant.
Fruits are unstable due to changes in water volume.
3. Sedimentation chamber: After coagulation, the water will turn into alum, and it will flow into the sedimentation tank of the equipment for sedimentation. The sedimentation tank adopts the inclined tube sedimentation method, and the solid-liquid separation is completed through the trapezoidal inclined plate sedimentation chamber. Body enters the mud bucket.

Health Benefits of Crafting
Woman
Anxiety, depression, and many other psychiatric conditions have become more common since today. But there are things you can do to improve your mental well being. Fortunately, drugs are excellent for treating these psychiatric problems. Let's take a closer look at how crafting can improve your psychological well-being.
Relieves Stress
Stress Crafting is great because it allows you to move from everyday stress to the things you want. This is true for many people. The work you do can also be boring. This justifies why many people want vacations to get away with their family. When you do it, you can often relax and forget about the pressures of the planet. In fact, crafting is also the best way to bond with your kids. This is one of the inexpensive ways to relieve the stress you feel.
Builds Self Confidence
The wonderful thing about caring about your craft skills is that you build your self-confidence because you are creating something that means a wonderful business for you. By the time you finish your little job, you feel complete, and that's how you build your self-confidence. Your self-esteem will grow if you regularly engage in powerful sewing and craft work.
Gives Happiness
By doing activities like crafting, you can lose yourself in your world, where only you and everything you create exists. Every time you create certain artworks, individuals will appreciate your work, which will make you more motivated and enthusiastic about continuing.
Woman
Improves Mood
It sounds incredible, but bright colors can improve your mood when you work. There is a scientific explanation for this. Some people feel anxious when surrounded by more than three colors. Other people feel calm in an environment surrounded by white. The main idea is that people associate certain things with certain colors. For example, autumn is related to sexy colors. However, some colors only have a short-term effect on mood.

Benefits of Umbilical Cord Tissue Cells
medical staff
Over recent years the advancement in neonatal healthcare has become revolutionary. Among the greatest advances in this domain was in the kind of cord blood and umbilical cord tissue banking. You can head over to _URL_ for more on umbilical cord banking. The umbilical cord functions as the lifeline between the baby and the mom because it comprises blood vessels. On the other hand, the umbilical cord tissue allows the blood vessels to weather the strain and protects them from bending.baby born
Treatment of Blood-Related Ailments
Based on available proprietary technologies, UCX has been sequestered in the umbilical cord tissue; the methodology has turned out to be silent, strong, reproducible, and will do the job satisfactorily for stem cell banks. It's been seen to create a larger amount of cells combined with roughly 100% success rate with restricted bacterial impurities.
In the current situation, stem cells located in the cord are used to treat blood-related ailments. But, there's a significant hindrance since the quantity of blood collected from the umbilical cord is reduced and may pose a drawback concerning transplants. Studies are now underway to know possible procedures to boost the efficacy of cord blood pressure.
Treatment of Auto-Immune Diseases
A more direct technique is to take advantage of some other stem cells known as MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) found from the tissue to get co-transplantation using a cord blood unit could be the alternative. With technologies to extract MSCs from umbilical tissue, the first step would be to mince the tissue. This can be further supported by an enzymatic breakdown procedure to melt the cord tissue, releasing the native MSCs. An alternate means to conserve MSCs would be to process the tissue and extract the cells, so securing them at a treatment prepared form.
Conclusion
Deciding to keep the umbilical cord tissue will allow you to make the most of the curative potential of stem cells in regenerative medicine. The stem cells kept within cord blood banks represent an extra supply of stem cells that may have immediate and potential programs.

Six false myths about breast cancer
1
When you come across a woman who has breast cancer, then you will assume that the culprit is breast cancer. Apart from skin cancer, breast tumor is the other common type of cancer among women in America. For this reason going for breast screening frequently recommended. Considering the amount of information that is available online about breast cancer, many women have heard about myths associated with the illness. Below are some false myths that are associated with breast cancer.
All lumps are cancerous
Cancer does not cause over eighty percent of the lumps that are present in the women's breast. Cysts and other conditions cause them. However, health experts advise women not to ignore any growth in their chest or changes in their breast tissue. Immediately you notice any lump on your breast it's essential to visit your doctor to find out if it is as a result of cancer or not. The doctor will recommend biopsy, mammogram or ultrasound to get more information.
Underwire bras begin breast cancer
A considerable fraction of women still believes that underwire bras cause cancer. However, this is not true. Underwire bras don't reduce lymphatic drainage that causes the accumulation of toxins that bring about breast cancer. Research has shown that tight clothing cannot cause breast cancer.
Antiperspirants trigger breast cancer
It's true that antiperspirants used by women have a chemical preservative by the name parabens that boosts the production of estrogen which is linked to breast cancer. However, there is no proof that parabens cause breast cancer. If you don't like the idea of parabens, then you can avoid them by choosing other antiperspirants that contain other preservatives. If you are going to have a mammogram then its advisable to avoid using an antiperspirant because some include aluminum which can make the results show that you have breast cancer while in the real sense you don't.
Women with tiny breasts don't get breast cancer
Its worth noting that the size of the breasts of a woman has nothing to do with breast cancer. This is very true. However, it's a challenging task to examine larger breasts for breast cancer with a mammogram or a clinical breast exam. Even if you have small breasts, you have to make sure that you go for regular breast screening and checkups.
Breast cancer is genetic
While a considerable fraction of women who have a family history of breast cancer are at a higher risk of getting it, many of those who are diagnosed with this illness don't have a history of the diseases. So don't believe that breast cancer is genetic if you have a history of breast cancer.
3
Breast implants boost
If you are considering breast implants, then you should be aware that they don't expose you to breast cancer in any way. However, you will have a challenging time when you go for breast screening with implants because mammograms don't work well on those with breast implants. Additional imaging will be required for accurate examination. It means that you will have to part with more for the screening.

There are many ways of categorizing umbrellas, with one of them being the number of folding keels supporting the cloth. This keel is also known as the umbrella's skeleton, and we have one (straight), two, three, and five folding umbrellas based on this classification. In this article, we'll examine the differences between 2 fold umbrellas and 3 fold umbrellas.
2 fold umbrellas
A two folding umbrella is one in which the umbrella's skeleton can be folded into two sections. With their durable structures, two folding umbrellas are portable tools for rainy and sunny days.
3 fold umbrellas
A somewhat more common type of folding umbrellas is the three folding one. As its name implies, it is an umbrella with three folding keels, which means it can be folded three times. These umbrellas usually have buttons to close and open them automatically and are classic rain gear to carry around.
Differences between 2fold umbrella and 3 fold umbrella
Based on the structure, 2 fold umbrellas are compact, firm, and made from top quality materials. Furthermore, the rib sizes of two folding umbrellas vary, with the norm being that the first rib is slightly longer than the second rib.
3 fold umbrellas are just as compact and firmly structured as their two folding counterparts. They are of moderate weights and lengths, with the first rib usually being the shortest. Three folding umbrellas are widely used and made of good quality as well.
Another difference between two folding and three folding umbrellas is how they are styled. The former is of European style, which is usually high-grade. Even after folding them, they are generally quite large.
On the other hand, three folding umbrellas are of both European and mainstream styles. They are characterized by being light, pencil-like, and thin, after they are folded.
Based on their function, two folding umbrellas sport the windproof functionality of long handle umbrellas, which makes them much easier to carry around than straight umbrellas. Many manufacturers make this type of umbrellas to be rainproof and also sun-protecting. The slight setback of two folding umbrellas is that you'll need to take off the bones piece by piece when closing the umbrella.
Three folding umbrellas are small and easy to carry around. But when it comes to their function in resisting winds and heavy rains, they are inferior to two folding and long, straight umbrellas.
Generally speaking, two folding umbrellas are middle to high-grade umbrellas with excellent workmanship and materials, including embroidery, printing, lace. Because of these top-notch designs and craft, two folding umbrellas are usually high-priced.
The more common alternative is three folding umbrellas. They are middle to low-end umbrellas and are of many types. Three folding umbrellas are usually less expensive than their two folding counterparts.
On the differences in their use, two folding umbrellas are more suitable for heavy and windy rainy weather. Three folding umbrellas are not so good in resisting this type of weather, even though they are easy to carry about.
How to choose an excellent folding umbrella
Now, let's look at some of the things that'll influence the folding umbrella you get.
- The cloth: The first thing that'll attract you to any umbrella you pick up is its cloth. They are indispensable and the main parts of the umbrella, because they provide the shade or protection we need. There are many types of umbrella clothes, so before you get one, make sure you've had a good look at the alternatives. Your goal should be to get a folding umbrella with a durable cloth that'll withstand heavy winds and rain.
- The handle: The next factor that should influence the folding umbrella you get is the umbrella's handle. Remember that this is the part you'll be holding, for the most part, so make sure it is very comfortable to grasp. Usually, folding umbrellas have plastic handles that act as insulators during thunderstorms. Folding umbrellas' handles have two major designs: the straight and curved handle designs. The curved one allows for more grip and is comfortable to hold for an extended period. However, they are usually not found in high-priced umbrellas. So, be sure to test both designs of folding umbrella handles before you get one.
- The shaft: The shaft is located just above the handle. It is the part of the umbrella that holds the entire framework in place. So, if you see a firm folding umbrella, chances are that the shaft is rigid. When getting a folding umbrella, ensure that you give the shaft a good shake. If the umbrella parts don't come loose, then the umbrella framework is as firm as it should be. This means that the folding umbrella will withstand wind and rain better, with its firm structure.
- The size: Finally, the size of a folding umbrella should play a decisive role in which you eventually go for. Folding umbrellas have several sizes, so you'll have lots of options to pick from. But the size of the one you choose should fit your lifestyle and what you intend to use it for. If you'll be commuting, then there's no need to get a large folding umbrella. It'll probably be better to get something light and easy to carry about. Don't forget to consider the folding umbrella's size when closed too.
There are quite a lot of folding umbrellas, but the two folding and three folding ones are some of the most common. At first glance, it doesn't seem that there is much to distinguish between the two types of umbrellas. But a closer look at its skeleton will reveal the fundamental difference between two folding and three folding umbrellas.
In this guide, we've differentiated the two common types of folding umbrellas thoroughly. We've also had a look at some factors that should influence your decision on which one to get. With these, you should have all you need to spot the two types of folding umbrellas and know which is best suited for your lifestyle.

Abstract
The frequency difference between prograde and retrograde sectoral solar oscillations is analysed to determine the rotation rate of the solar interior, assuming no latitudinal dependence. Much of the solar interior rotates slightly less rapidly than the surface, while the innermost part apparently rotates more rapidly. The resulting solar gravitational quadrupole moment is J2 = (1.7±0.4) × 10-7 and provides a negligible contribution to current planetary tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Book an Appointment: _PHONE_ General Information: _PHONE_
Jackson Parish Hospital is providing the following charge information in compliance with the CMS FFY 2019 inpatient and long-term care hospital PPS rule, requiring hospitals "to make available a list of their standard charges via the internet in a machine-readable format and update this information at least annually." It is important to note that hospital charges are based upon a number of factors and can vary widely, factors which can include the type of service, service location, and insurance provider, among others. The following definitions are provided to help patients understand this information:
What is a charge?
A hospital charge is a federally-required maximum list price for an item or service that does not reflect any negotiated discount. Federal reporting rules require hospitals to maintain a catalog of tens of thousands of procedure codes, code descriptions and list prices in a complex accounting tool, known as the hospital chargemaster. Although virtually no one pays full charges, federal regulations require hospitals to uniformly apply the full list price or charge to all patients who receive a specific item or service.
How are charges different from actual payments?
Medicare and Medicaid reimburse hospitals using complex formulas that often pay less than the actual cost of providing care. Private health insurance plans also negotiate significant discounts. Uninsured patients often qualify for hospital financial assistance policies, including free care. Media reports often confuse charges with actual or expected payments. These news stories also neglect to mention that hospitals' uncompensated care costs – the difference between actual payments and the cost of providing care – reached $38.3 billion in 2016. (Source:
How can consumers receive a clearer customized estimate of their out-of-pocket costs?
When planning an elective procedure, insured individuals should contact Medicare or their commercial health plan for information on plan design, provider networks and out-of-pocket payment responsibilities, such as deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums. Patients should also contact a hospital financial counselor to request a customized total estimated price of services.
What other hospital comparison tools exist to improve transparency for consumers?
Since 2006, Louisiana hospitals have offered comparative pricing and quality information to consumers through a consumer-friendly website, Louisiana Hospital Inform at Medicare provides a similar comparison tool for consumers at Both websites offer tools for consumers who want to compare value, including surveys of patients' experiences and information on timely and effective care.
Elements that Impact Cost
There are four key drivers of cost that vary by region, community, and individual hospital:
1. Services provided for the patient's individual care needs.
2. Care for people who are unable to pay.
3. Medicare and Medicaid underpayments. These government programs pay less than the cost of caring for patients.
4. 24/7 readiness to meet communities' healthcare needs.
Every bill reflects the cost of all of these elements:
 - Uncompensated care – care provided for which no payment is received – is figured into overall hospital costs.
 - Charges also reflect the costs of being able to respond 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and these costs must be allocated across all consumers who receive hospital services.
 - Hospital payments vary because they reflect the individual hospital's mission, the patient population it serves and the subsidies necessary to provide essential public services.
 - A hospital that provides vital, highly-specialized services as well as scarce or high-cost services such as trauma or burn units, has a different cost structure and pricing than one that does not. Hospitals that train physicians and other healthcare professionals, conduct medical research or care for a large number of uninsured individuals also have higher costs.
The Challenge in Calculating Costs
According to a recent GAO report, consumer's complete cost: "incorporates any negotiated discounts; is inclusive of all costs associated with a particular healthcare service, such as hospital, physician and lab fees; and identifies consumers' out-of-pocket costs." The report lists barriers to estimating a consumer's complete cost:
1. Patients have unique healthcare needs.
 - It is difficult to predict in advance all the services that will be provided for an episode of care.
 - Physicians often do not decide what services their patients will need until after examining them.
 - Aspects associated with the delivery of a service may be difficult to predict in advance, such as the length of time a patient stays in a hospital.
2. Health plans have information on consumer cost sharing.
 - Providers lack information on "the status of consumers' cost sharing under their specific health benefit plan, such as how much consumers have spent in out-of-pocket costs or towards their
 deductible at any given time. Without this information, physicians may have difficulty providing accurate out-of-pocket estimates for insured consumers."
3. Legal barriers restrict information on negotiated rates.
 - Contracts may prohibit the sharing of negotiated rates with the insurer's members on their price transparency initiatives' websites.
 - There may be concerns about sharing negotiated rates because of the proprietary nature of the information and because of anti-trust law concerns.
4. Health plans narrow their provider networks and do not reveal the "allowable amounts" they set to reimburse out-of-network physicians.
 - Consumers may have to contact multiple providers to obtain estimates of their complete costs.

Optical pump-probe scanning tunneling microscopy for probing ultrafast dynamics on the nanoscale
Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba _PHONE_, Japan
a e-mail: _URL_
Revised: 12 May 2013
Published online: 15 July 2013
The development of a method for exploring the ultrafast transient dynamics in small organized structures with high spatial resolution is expected to be a basis for further advances in current science and technology. Recently, we have developed a new microscopy technique by combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with ultrashort-pulse laser technology, which enables the visualization of ultrafast carrier dynamics even on the single-atomic level. A nonequilibrium carrier distribution is generated using ultrashort laser pulses and its relaxation processes are probed by STM using the optical pump-probe method realized in STM by the pulse-picking technique. In this paper, the fundamentals of the new microscopy technique are overviewed.

Ergonomic Evaluation and Visualization in the Car Design Process 2001-01-2114
Industries strive to minimize their development costs, to shorten the time required for development and to increase the quality of the product. The paper summarizes three ergonomic evaluation methods developed for the automotive industry. The first method presents a manikin with a movement pattern similar to people. The second method is a tool to evaluate comfort that can be combined with a manikin. The third and last, is a methodology for eliciting user comments. Ergonomic evaluation methods and tests with a computer support and generate information that may lead to reduced product development cost. These kinds of tools are also suitably used in cross-functional project groups in order to visualize alternative designs, and evaluations in a participative process. Visualization of traffic, driver and eye-movements seems to open up the discussion and is a step to a more user-centered design process.


Optical Comparators
An optical comparator is used to perform an inspection of manufactured parts. With an optical comparator, the silhouette of a part is magnified and projected upon the screen – which allows for the dimensions and geometry of a part to be accurately measured against limits and targets. The measuring process happens in several ways. The most common way is where graduations on the screens are superimposed over the silhouette, allow the viewer to measure visually. However, the most technologically advanced methods involve software that analyses the image and reports all measurements back. Optical comparators are widely used in industries of trade, engineering, science, technology, and quantitative research.

EurekaLog's anti-freeze feature
As you know, EurekaLog is a great tool to catch exceptions in your application. Though there are some cases which you want to consider as "bugs", but there is no exception to catch it!
For example, consider your application is deadlocking. How about endless cycle which loads CPU core up to 100%? What about do not updating your UI for 10 minutes? Are those issues bugs or not?
Yes, all these cases are bugs in your application (*). But no exception is raised in such cases - your application simply stops working. Those cases can be very nasty and hard to diagnose, because your application doesn't show any error message and doesn't generate any log files.
So, how can you catch them?
Okay, if you look in the EurekaLog's project option - you can see something called "Anti-Freeze Options" on the "Advanced Options" tab:
"Advanced Options" tab in EurekaLog's options.
You can read the EL's documentation to find out that if you enable this option then EurekaLog will detect when your application became frozen. What does it mean exactly and how does it work? Some of you can say: "Whoa, that one is cool! Let's use it!", enable the option and then face the strange behavior. You should understand what are you doing before enabling it.
There is no clear definition what does "hung application" mean. Usually the "hung application" is either deadlocking or busy with some heavy processing/computations. However from the user's point of view, your application has stopped working - therefore it is a bug.
To detect such cases you can periodically check if your application is still responding.
Okay, back to EurekaLog. The EurekaLog uses the common technique by using the WM_NULL message. The WM_NULL is a special message that performs no operation. The application should process this message by simple ignoring it. You can use it in many situations. And you can use it to detect hung application too.
What does it mean that application is hung? Deadlock, endless cycle, not updating the UI have one thing in common: they do not process the window messages. In all those cases application is busy with some work and it doesn't call Peek/GetMessage. Therefore, you can send a WM_NULL message to application to see if it'll respond to it in specified time. If you don't get a reply within, say, 30 seconds interval - then the application is probably hung. Notice that "probably" word. Application may really perform some actual work (accessing network or perform complex computations, etc) and it'll come back to life later. Yes, technically this is not an error. But the end-user doesn't care about this stuff. His application has stopped responding - therefore it is a bug.
EurekaLog launches a helper thread (TFreezeThread) at application start up. This thread will constantly asks your main thread with the WM_NULL messages. If you are unable to answer in the specified amount of time then this helper thread starts consider you as "hung" and raises an EFrozenApplication exception. Since this is an exception - the exception can be handled by standard EurekaLog's hooking code. The EurekaLog will generate a full bug-report and send it to you. By default the application will not be terminated after processing the exception. Therefore the exception will be raised a few more times and then the "Restart application" check-box will appear in the exception dialog:
If you don't like this standard behavior - you can easily change it. For example, I personally prefer adding a new exception filter (there is a "Exceptions Filters" tab in the EL's project options) on EFrozenApplication class and changing it's action to "Restart" or "Terminate".
It is important to note that the exception itself is raised from the main thread (and not the helper thread) - therefore a call stack for the exception will contain the proper place where main thread was hung. And by analyzing this call stack, you can detect the source of the problem. Well, raising the exception in the another thread is certainly a dirty trick, involving direct manipulations with thread's context than in rare cases can lead to memory leaks (**) - therefore it can not be used in regular situations. But it is okay in such emergency case - it is better to have bug-report on hung application with (little possible) mem-leak than do not have bug-report at all.
BTW, there is run-time control too! So, if you want to do some heavy lifting in your Button3Click, you can disable anto-freeze checking before and restore it after. To do so, you can play with the CurrentEurekaLogOptions.FreezeActivate property. Setting it to False will abort monitoring helper thread and setting it to True will create a new monitor thread:
procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
 CurrentEurekaLogOptions.FreezeActivate := False;
 // <- here goes your actual code
 CurrentEurekaLogOptions.FreezeActivate := True;
Okay, what does it all means to us, if you'll enable this option?
First: your application will receive WM_NULLs (which is 0) periodically. That is how EurekaLog checks if you are alive or not. This should not care you, since you are not supposed to do any processing of WM_NULL message.
Second: you should design your application very carefully. If you write some "bad" code in your Button1Click (and by "bad" I mean code that performs long-time operation) - your application may encounter a "bug". If you have some code that can potentially takes a long time to complete (connection to DB, for example) - now it is a good time to unload such code in the helper thread (and do not forget to abort or kill it after some period of time if it doesn't complete his job).
Third: do not make check-timeout too short. Or you'll be flooded with false bug-reports - only for the reason that Button2Click takes a whopping two seconds to complete instead of half a second on your developer machine. A minute or two is usually a good estimate.
Fourth: the anti-freeze feature starts working only after your main form is created. The start up of more or less complex application usually takes a little time due which the application does not respond to the messages. It is normal behavior and therefore EL wait for application to start up.
Fifth: nothing is free and there is a certain overhead for using this feature. Specifically: a) there is a one more thread in your application and b) it is constantly pumping your message queue with WM_NULL messages. "Constantly" means few times per second here (of course EL do not want to eat 100% of your CPU just to check your activity :) ). From CPU point of view - the helper thread is napping almost always. Therefore those overheads are very low and I don't know why anyone should care about it - but I've mention it just in case.
Sixth: it is important not to mix EurekaLog anti-freeze feature with TIdAntiFreeze or similar Delphi component - those are entirely different things which have only similar name in common.
(*) Well, the last case (not updating UI) is not a bug for you, the developer - since after 10 minutes your application will suddenly come back to life. But this is certainly an error from the end-user's viewpoint.
(**) Consider, what happens with such (typical) code:
SomeObj := TSomeClass.Create();
 //...
What, if the EFrozenException will be raised right after your code exits constructor, but before assigning the object pointer to SomeObj variable? The try-finally block will be skipped, since exception was raised before try. But even if FreeAndNil will be executed - it has nothing to free: the SomeObj is empty. The object reference is forgotten - therefore it is a memory leak. Well, as I said: this is a very rare scenario. You can ignore it when using in such case as hung application - since hung application is already a bug, therefore you don't make the situation worse. But you surely shouldn't use such dangerous technique in the common code.

This paper presents a new interactive guidance system for passengers. The system developed for the visually disabled consists of a cane, a portable information terminal, and radio tag-installed Braille blocks. The tag reader at the tip of the cane reads the location data in the tag and transmits it to the portable information terminal by radio waves. The information terminal generates appropriate guide and navigation messages by utilizing geographical information and personal data of the user. The user can interactively acquire the messages by communicating with the system. We carried out a field test to evaluate the system at a station in Tokyo. In this test, a number of visually disabled persons used the system in the actual conditions. The results of the test have shown good availability of the system.

Create A Google Chrome Incognito Shortcut
If you're the type of user who wishes to browse the Internet without having to worry about your history being saved In your web browser, and also prefer not to store cookies, Images or cache web pages, then Incognito mode (aka private browsing) Is your answer. Wouldn't It be nice If you could access It with a double-click of the mouse? Well, In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a Google Chrome Incognito shortcut on your desktop.
So what exactly Is Incognito mode? In very simple terms, It's privacy within your web browser, whereby once you've finished navigating online, your browsing history, cookies, keywords entered etc, are discarded when you close your browser session.
Notice how I've emphasized privacy within your web browser? That's because, Incognito mode does not anonymize you online! In other words, It prevents Information from being stored on your computer, but what you do beyond your computer, can still be tracked.
Incognito mode, Is extremely useful If you don't want other users knowing your browsing activity and If you use It on a daily basis, you'd want It available at your fingertips. As such, I will demonstrate how to create a Google Chrome Incognito shortcut with Incredible ease.
If you don't have Google Chrome Installed, you can download It from the official website. So without further ado, let's rip Into this tutorial.
Step One:
Firstly, navigate to your desktop, right-click on a blank area and select New > Shortcut as shown below.
Step Two:
Next, In the Type the location of the Item field, enter the following command based on the architecture of your Windows 10 operating system.
This Is for 32-bit (x86):
"%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -incognito
And for 64-bit (x64):
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -incognito
Then hit Next to move forward.
Step Three:
Now you need to give your shortcut a name. It can be anything you like. For the purpose of this tutorial, I've named mine Chrome Incognito. When you've made your selection, hit Finish to finalize the process.
Step Four:
I've now navigated to my desktop, and as you can see, the Google Chrome Incognito shortcut has been successfully created. Let's make sure It's functional, by double-clicking It.
Step Five:
As expected after double-clicking the shortcut, Incognito mode has executed In Google Chrome. Perfect!
Step Six:
What If you want to open Incognito mode directly to a website of your choice? Well, refer to Step Two above and select the command suited to your Windows 10 architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). Then add the URL at the end of the command. In my case, I've added this blog, namely Here's what my command looks like.
Then follow the onscreen prompts until completion.
Last Step:
Upon double-clicking my Google Chrome Incognito shortcut, as you can see, It's directly opened Of course, you can navigate to any website of your choice.
Final Thoughts:
Almost all major browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari and a few others, support Private browsing but It's way beyond the scope of this article to cover the lotparticularly with In depth detail as per this tutorial.
So why did I choose Google Chrome? At the time of writing, It's the most popular browser that accounts for over 50% of Internet traffic! So my selection makes perfect sense. That aside, the Incognito shortcut Is not dedicated to the desktop per se. You can copy It to just about any directory on your computer, and use It thereafter.
Enjoy 😊

A manhole, or maintenance hole, is a tube which connects underground utilities to the surface. The tube is large enough to accommodate the body of a utility worker, and is covered with a top that is flush to the ground, and called a manhole cover. Manholes can be found connected to water and sewer systems, along with electrical and fiberoptic cabling. In all cases, manholes are located at primary junctions, and sometimes at intervals along the utility line, to allow workers easy access to potential problems.
In some instances, a manhole leads into an underground utility vault, an enlarged room where switching equipment can be found. An underground vault may be accessed on a routine basis, to hook up new customers, perform safety checks, and ensure that other key maintenance is performed. Typically, the underground vault will be relatively small, able to accommodate one utility worker at a time.
In very large underground systems, manholes connect to a series of underground pipes, some of which are large enough to walk and move around in. Workers can check pipes for obstructions, make sure that the pipes are in good condition, and identify potential problem areas which need to be serviced. Navigating in this environment requires protective clothing and a good sense of direction, as some sewers have pipes which were built centuries ago, and they can be both dirty and confusing to move around in.

The manhole cover is the visible part of the manhole which most people interact with. A manhole cover is typically round, to prevent it from falling into the manhole and also to make it easier to put back when the work is finished, as no corners need to be matched. In addition, the rounded edges are less likely to catch the tires of cars and bicycles. Typically, when a manhole cover is removed to access the utilities beneath, a protective barrier is put up to prevent people from falling in, and so that nothing is inadvertently dropped onto the utility worker underground.
Many cities have manhole covers made by a variety of utility companies, which can provide an interesting pictorial history of active utilities in the city, along with the progress of industrial design. The cover is usually made to appear somewhat ornamental, and also features the name of the utility which installs it. Covers may be painted or have ornate patterns cast into them, and they usually have small holes for a utility worker to insert a pick, a device designed for lifting manhole covers.

@pleonasm - One of the nice things about manhole covers is that they often have lovely pictures on them that relate to the city they are in. I'm not sure if it's the same company that makes all of them, but it's often almost like art and I think it's lovely that they make an effort to make something that's basically the lowest part of the city into something that people can be proud of.
I also like it when they make sure to label which manholes aren't safe as dumping areas. People don't realize that often the drainage in big cities goes straight into the sea and dumping chemicals into there is a really bad idea.

One of the things that Google used to do when they were trying to hire the best people they could find was to ask strange questions in their job interviews. One of the more famous questions was "why are man covers always a circle?" If you have a look online, you can actually find a lot of really good answers to this question. Like, for example, the general shape of a person is round, that it makes it easier to ensure the cover won't fall into the sewers, that it can be rolled and therefore is easier to move and so forth.
Although apparently the main reason is that the original company that made the covers decided to make them in circles and everyone just copied them because once the infrastructure was in place there wasn't any other choice.

cts.highlight
cts.highlight(
 $node as Node,
 $query as cts.query,
 $callback as function(NodeBuilder, xs.string, text(), cts.query*, xs.integer) as xs.string?,
 $builder as NodeBuilder
) as null
Summary
Returns a copy of the node, replacing any text matching the query with the specified expression. You can use this function to easily highlight any text found in a query. Unlike fn.replace and other string functions that match literal text, cts.highlight matches every term that matches the search, including stemmed matches or matches with different capitalization.
Parameters
$node A node to highlight. The node must be either a document node, element node, object node, or array node; it cannot be a text node.
$query A query specifying the text to highlight. If a string is entered, the string is treated as a cts:word-query of the specified string.
$callback A function to call on each match.
$builder The builder that will be used to construct the highlighted copy.
Usage Notes
The arguments to the callback function provide context for the match.
builder as NodeBuilder
An Node builder that is building the highlighted node copy. Whetever the callback adds to the builder will be added to the final copy.
text as xs:string
The matched text.
node as text()
The node containing the matched text.
queries as cts:query*
The matching queries.
start as xs:integer
The string-length position of the first character of text in node. Therefore, the following always returns true:
fn.substring(node, start,
 fn.stringLength(text)) = text
The return from the callback function is an action that specifies what happens next:
"continue"
(default) Walk the next match. If there are no more matches, return all the builder results .
"skip"
Skip walking any more matches and return all the builder results.
"break"
Stop walking matches and return all the builder results.
null
Continue with the previous action.
You cannot use cts.highlight to highlight results matching cts:similar-query and cts:element-attribute-*-query items. Using cts.highlight with these queries will return the nodes without any highlighting.
You can also use cts.highlight as a general search and replace function. The specified expression will replace any matching text. For example, you could replace the word "hello" with "goodbye" in a query similar to the following:
 cts.highlight(node, "hello",
 function(builder, text, node, queries, start) {
 builder.addText("goodbye");
 });
Unfiltered queries, including registered queries, do not match in cts.walk or cts.highlight.
Example
// To highlight "MarkLogic" with bold in the following paragraph:
var doc = new NodeBuilder();
doc.startElement("p");
doc.addText("MarkLogic Server is an enterprise-class\n\
 database specifically built for content.");
doc.endElement();
var result = new NodeBuilder();
cts.highlight(doc.toNode(), "MarkLogic",
 function(builder,text,node,queries,start) {
 builder.startElement("b");
 builder.addText(text);
 builder.endElement(); }, result);
result.toNode()
=>

MarkLogic Server is an enterprise-class
 database specifically built for content.

Example
// Similar to the above use case but on JSON nodes. Note that
// an array is used to represent the original text with the
// specified object node as a member.
var x = {"p1":
 "MarkLogic Server is an enterprise-class database built for content."};
var result = new NodeBuilder();
cts.highlight(x, "MarkLogic",
 function(builder,text,node,queries,start) {
 builder.addNode( {"highlighted" : text} );
 }, result
);
result.toNode();
=>
 {
 "p1": [
 {
 "highlighted": "MarkLogic"
 },
 " Server is an enterprise-class database built for content."
 ]
 }
Example

Have you ever thought about the reason why founding a hardware startup is so hard? Part of the reason is because your money disappears fast in hardware manufacturing, and it is a known fact that many hardware startups are struggling with raising enough funding for their survival. Additionally, the categorization of hardware itself is complicated. Often times, it is hard to build up the right team and find appropriate manufacturers. However, there are ways to make it easier for hardware startups to break down responsibilities and find the right partners.
Below, we break different roles in the hardware sector down to six categories:
1. The Intensifiers
People under this category are responsible for building the foundation for hardware projects, from dealing with signals, avoiding extra disturbance, and enhancing the efficiency of batteries. These people are usually hardware engineers or circuit engineers.
2. The Releasers
People under this category are those in charge of wireless signals, and communication systems. They are usually antenna engineers and radio-frequency engineers, who will be playing more and more important roles in the coming years.
3. The Practitioners
People under this category are in charge of operating hardware systems, which enables the communication between users and devices through interface. In addition to defining the function of chips and enhancing the efficiency of using memories, they also need to take care of communication between different interfaces. These people are usually firmware engineers.
4. The Changers
People under this category control changes in the manufacturing process, and adjust variables to stabilize the system. These people are usually the process engineers.
5. The Realizers
People under this category usually deal with designing the appearance of products and packaging the products. If a product wants to have a perfect outlook, then the role of these realizers are very important. These people are usually industrial designers, who understand both aesthetic beauty and structure.
6. The Specializers
People under this category are not in charge of any particular aspect of hardware development, but they help to deal with retailers and business development. They are usually project managers who make sure each milestone is carried out nicely.
It is undeniable that founding a business needs to face many challenges and risks. The selection of team members is one of the aspects that requires careful reasoning, because a suitable team member can have crucial impacts on the company's future.

Cherry is one of the most delicious and sweet berries. Cherry jam is not only very useful, but it looks amazing. In addition, to prepare cherry jam you need very little time and energy. In this article we will tell you how to make jam from white cherries with bones.
White cherry jam with stones
- cherry - 1 kg;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- water 350 ml;
- lemon - 1 piece;
- vanilla - 1/3 tsp.
Berries should be thoroughly washed and dried. Put on a linen towel and dry. It is necessary to sort out the berries - leave for the jam only good, whole, without damage. Next, you need to make a syrup. To do this, dissolve sugar in water and bring to a boil. It is necessary to mix frequently, so that sugar does not burn.
The resulting syrup is filled with cherries. They should brew for about 2-3 hours. Then put on fire and bring to a boil. Fire should be weak so that the syrup does not boil actively. Then the berries will not be brewed and will remain intact. Readiness is determined by the color of the sweet cherry. When the berry becomes almost transparent - the jam is ready. In the resulting jam from white cherries, you must add lemon juice and vanilla. This will give him an unusual aroma and light acidity, it will not be cloyingly sweet. Boil for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and hot pour over cans.
Cherry jam with nuts
The recipe for how to make a cherry jam with nuts will be the same. However, instead of simple cherries with bones, we will use the cherry, peeled. This can be done with a special device. Clearing the cherry from the bones, it should be stuffed with nuts. It is best to use the walnuts cut into 4 parts. They add a piquant taste and make the flavor of the jam more refined. When the berries and nuts are ready, they need to be filled with syrup and cook exactly the same as the cherry with the bones.
The resulting jam has a pleasant nutty taste and an unusual flavor.
The cherry jam with bones differs in some almond flavor. Without pits, this taste will not. However, this is why this berry is so well combined with nuts. For jam from cherry with nuts, you can use not only walnuts. Cedar, almond, hazelnut, cashew will suit. Peanuts and pistachios are best not to use, because, as a rule, they are already sold salted.
Cherry jam turns out sugary and sweet, so you can add lemon or a little citric acid. Firstly, it will set off the taste, and secondly, it will prevent excessive sugaring of the product. Also, to avoid sugar, jam should be stored
Cherry contains a lot of vitamins and minerals, which will be very useful for the body in winter. Jam is a great way to preserve and conserve these vitamins. In the cherry there is a lot of vitamin C , B vitamins and carotene. They are responsible for the immunity and recovery of the nervous system. Potassium and magnesium, in large quantities are present in the cherry. These minerals help maintain a normal cardiovascular system and blood pressure.
Calcium and iron are also extremely necessary for the body. Cherry jam will be a wonderful treat for expectant mothers. It will help provide the body with the necessary substances. Such sweetness is a great way to combine business with pleasure!

The Computing at School Working Group is an informal group that aims to promote the teaching of computing at school. Our membership is broad, and includes teachers, examiners, parents, university faculty, and employers.
CAS was born out of our excitement with our discipline, combined with a serious concern that our brightest students are being turned off computing by a combination of factors that have conspired to make the subject seem dull and pedestrian. Our goal is to put the fun back into computing at school.
They have a conference and regional support groups called hubs. So if you are a pre-collegiate computer science teacher or a university faculty/lecturer with an interest in helping support such education in the United Kingdom you will want to look into this program.
In the US there is still the Computer Science Teachers Association which, while is largest in the US, is really international in scope and membership.
Speaking of the CSTA, they just released the draft of a model curriculum (Level I Course: Foundations of Computer Science) that covers K-8 computer science. They are looking for comments and opinions on it so take a look.


Zmodo won't connect to WiFi (solved)
If you have a Zmodo camera that won't connect to Wi-Fi there's a quick fix.
Zmodo camera
Usually the issue with Internet connection is related to the frequency the camera is operating at. When your router works at 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, the Zmodo camera can associate itself to the wrong SSID (wireless signal name). But you can fix that.
Your Zmodo camera can't connect to the Internet
That's the first thing you usually notice. There's no Internet connection.
If the Zmodo camera doesn't connect to the wi-fi router, there's no way you can have access to the video stream through the Internet, so you need to make sure the camera can associate itself with your router.
The router and Zmodo camera frequency
A Zmodo camera can operate within the frequency of 2.4Ghz and some models can also operate within the 5Ghz. Make sure which model you are using.
Zmodo Wireless Frequency
Some models such as the Zmodo EZcam 720 HD wireless can only operate at the 2.4 Ghz and sometimes that's the reason it gets stuck when associating with the router that works with both frequencies.
If your router has both frequencies available and is using the same SSID (name of the signal your devices can associate with) the Zmodo camera can get confused.
How to solve the Zmodo Wifi connection problem
To solve the problem with the Wi-fi connection, just follow the steps:
 1. Access your wireless router settings;
 2. Look for the wireless settings menu;
 3. Find the wireless signal name (SSID);
 4. Rename the SSID for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (use different names);
 5. Open the security tab and make sure your router is using WPA or WPA2;
Let's say for example you have a Zmodo EZcam 720 HD that works only with the 2.4Ghz frequency but your router works with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies.
Just rename the router SSID signal to MySignal-2.4 and MySignal-5 for example.
Now that you have the SSID with different names just go your Zmodo camera and start the connection process again and choose the correct Wi-fi SSID.
The Zmodo camera password limitation
When using the WPA or WPA2 for Wi-Fi security it's necessary to enter a password to connect to the router. That's something universal.
The issue with some Zmodo cameras is that they allow you to type a maximum of 13 characters for a password, so if your router uses a long password it won't work.
Unfortunately, the solution is to change the router password. I know you probably won't like the idea, but it is what it is. So, go ahead and just change it.

This thesis examines Western rationality, contextualizing that subject in British colonialism and Western modernity. Using Scott Lash's description of academic characterizations of modernity, I explore the "high" modernity of the social sciences represented in the books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle. I then explore the cultural studies critique of that characterization of modernity in the book Arrow of God by Chinua Achebe. Using the theory of Jean Francois Lyotard, Martin Heidegger, and Theodor Adorno, I look at Western rationality through its manifestation in British colonialism. I argue that colonialism is a site where rationality's negative legacy is manifest, and that the paradoxical representations of rationality in the books by Carroll and Doyle indicate a problem with the assumption that Western rationality was a universal epistemology. Contrary to the British's own ideas of their rationality, I find that Western rationality is ultimately a culturally-grounded discourse. Using Chinua Achebe's Arrow of God, I examine the intersection between Western rationality and other forms of cultural knowledge, an intersection that occurred through British colonialism. Achebe argues against the universal model of Western rationality and posits instead a relative valuing of each culture's methods of arriving at truth. I use his novel to illustrate the limits of Western rationality and its claim to universality.

The Red & Bonita Mine consists of approximately 1.25 acres of waste rock and suspected tailings material, and an estimated 3,000 foot long adit that drains at approximately 300 gallons per minute throughout the year into Cement Creek. The mine site is located in San Juan County, Colorado, approximately seven miles north of the Town of Silverton, Colorado, at 10,893 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The mine was opened in the late 1890s and has not operated for almost 100 years. Since 2005, adit discharge rates have been observed to be increasing from approximately 200 to 300 gpm. The pH of discharge water is approximately 4 su, and it contains high concentrations of several metals including aluminum, cadmium, lead, manganese and zinc. The discharge from the adit represents a significant percentage of the zinc load to the Animas River, which is impacting aquatic life for several miles below the confluence of Cement Creek and the Animas River.

The identification of emergent structures in dynamical systems is a major challenge in complex systems science. In particular, the formation of intermediate-level dynamical structures is of particular interest for what concerns biological as well as artificial network models. In this work, we present a new technique aimed at identifying clusters of nodes in a network that behave in a coherent and coordinated way and that loosely interact with the remainder of the system. This method is based on an extension of a measure introduced for detecting clusters in biological neural networks. Even if our results are still preliminary, we have evidence for showing that our approach is able to identify these "emerging things" in some artificial network models and that it is way more powerful than usual measures based on statistical correlation. This method will make it possible to identify mesolevel dynamical structures in network models in general, from biological to social networks. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.

Canopy flows in the atmospheric surface layer play important economic and ecological roles, governing the dispersion of passive scalars in the environment. The interaction of high-velocity fluid and large-scale surface-mounted obstacles in canopy flows produces drag and causes intense, inhomogeneous and anisotropic turbulence. In this work, we focus on the turbulent dispersion of passive scalars by studying the 'pair dispersion' - a statistical measure of relative motion between particles. We analyse the results of a three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry experiment in a wind-tunnel canopy flow, focusing on small scales. We confirm the existence of local isotropy of pair dispersion at scales smaller than a characteristic shear length scale, where and are the mean dissipation rate and shear rate, respectively. Furthermore, we show that pair dispersion in this locally isotropic regime is a scale-dependent super-diffusive process, similar to what occurs in homogeneous isotropic turbulent flows. In addition, we measure the pair relative velocity correlation function, showing that its de-correlation occurs in the locally isotropic regime, and discuss the implications of this observation for modelling pair dispersion. Thus, our study extends the fundamental understanding of turbulent pair dispersion to the anisotropic inhomogeneous turbulent canopy flow, bringing valuable information for modelling scalar dispersion in the atmospheric surface layer.
