Lee Baker
Brighton-based Lee Baker was our first artist in residency at Metal Peterborough. His work takes the form of painstaking large-format paintings and installations, utilizing vivid color and extreme perspective to 'build' meta-cities and architectural environments, often set against a stormy backdrop of ashen clouds, pending night and potential destruction. His fine art practice explores stark visions of the indestructible meta-city against the indiscriminate forces of nature. Drawing on the narrative and scenic elements of films such as Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira, Disney's Tron, and further exploring the idea of a self-aware 'thinking' city, developed in films such as 'Tekkonkinkreet' and Makoto Shinkai's 'A Place Promised in our Early Years'. His most recent work, investigates the idea of future archeology and mythology, exploring the idea of the projection of history onto megalithic structures such as Stonehenge in England or Ahu Tongariki on Easter Island.
Baker creates his own megaliths, abstracting and simplifying, building constructs and giving them meaning. 'Refractive Monolith', for instance, is a three-dimensional reaction to or conversation with Lee Baker's paintings. Utilizing approximately 10 thousand metres of acrylic yarn, he has 'drawn' and occupied the space with this imposing architectural shape, forcing its perspective upon the viewer. As with Baker's paintings, the joyous colors give a false sense of security while at the same time the full spectrum of laser-like yarn represents the building's volatile infrastructure and relative weakness. The graded gray walls delineating the building's silhouette serve to enhance to colours while implying the finality of the structure's life.

Common mistakes#
1. Creating cells without cell decorator#
The cell decorator names cells deterministically and uniquely based on the name of the functions and its parameters.
It also uses a caching mechanisms that improves performance and guards against duplicated names.
1.a naming cells manually#
Naming cells manually is susceptible to name colisions
in GDS you can't have two cells with the same name.
For example: this code will raise a duplicated cell name ValueError
import gdsfactory as gf
c1 = gf.Component('wg')
c1 << gf.components.straight(length = 5)
c2 = gf.Component('wg')
c2 << gf.components.straight(length = 50)
c3 = gf.Component('waveguides')
wg1 = c3 << c1
wg2 = c3 << c2
wg2.movey(10)
c3
Solution: Use the gf.cell decorator for automatic naming your components.
[1]:
import gdsfactory as gf
@gf.cell
def wg(length: float = 3):
 return gf.components.straight(length=length)
print(wg(length=5))
print(wg(length=50))

wg_length5: uid 2, ports ['o1', 'o2'], aliases [], 4 polygons, 0 references
wg_length50: uid 5, ports ['o1', 'o2'], aliases [], 4 polygons, 0 references
1.b Not naming components with a unique and deterministic name#
In the case of not wrapping the function with cell you will get unique names thanks to the unique identifier uuid.
This name will be different and non-deterministic for different invocations of the script.
However it will be hard for you to know where that cell came from.

c2 = gf.Component()

Which single factor do you think was most important in making the Spanish so successful during the contact period?
1 Answer | Add Yours
I would argue that the most important single factor helping the Spanish was the fact that they brought with them diseases to which the natives of the Americas had no immunity. This was not the only important factor, but I would argue that it was the most important.
The diseases that the Spanish brought over devastated the native populations. Since they could spread from native to native, they could travel from places where the Spanish actually were and kill people who had yet to set eyes on a Spaniard. This was tremendously beneficial to the Spaniards because it destabilized and severely weakened the societies that might have resisted them. For example, diseases that the Spanish brought killed large numbers of Incas, including their emperor. They had then engaged in a struggle over who would be the next emperor. Right after that struggle ended, the Spanish came to conquer the Incas. The fact that so many of them had died of disease and that they had then fought a civil war made it much easier for the Spaniards to win.

Photoacoustic temperature measurement is a new type of thermometric technology with noninvasive, real-time, high precision and space resolution. For improving the measurement accuracy and reliability, the method of using a multiwavelength photoacoustic signal to monitor the temperature named as multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement was proposed in this paper. Based on the basic photoacoustic effect theory, the theoretical feasibility of this method was analyzed. And the experimental results from the phantom and ex-vivo tissue samples indicate that the multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement can effectively reduce the error to smaller than 0.1 °C, and increase the accuracy of temperature measurement by more than two times. Our study demonstrated that the multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement can potentially be a valuable method for temperature measurement during photothermal therapy or other clinic applications.

Sustainable tourism at Marlin Travel
At Marlin Travel, with our employees and partners, environmental responsibility is an integral part of our company's operations and we do our best to maximize tourism positive effects.
Our target milestones and priority actions include using resources in an optimal manner and reducing our consumption of paper, electricity and water; implementing more comprehensive recycling programs; making responsible, sustainable purchases; and ensuring the secure management of our electronic equipment until the end of its life-cycle. Using an annual green report, we measure everything we consume, recycle and dispose of.
Moreover, through Transat A.T. efforts, Marlin Travel supports sustainable tourism projects at destination. These projects are helping to enhance the tourism potential of communities and regions, from a perspective of sustainable tourism development.
The will to do better!
Over the past 25 years, tourism in general, and international travel in particular, have experienced strong and steady growth.
The statistics speak volumes: with the number of people travelling to another country per year about to top one billion, and more than 200 million jobs in the world now directly or indirectly dependent on tourism, our industry is asserting itself as an economic force of prime importance.
Marlin Travel, member of Transat A.T. Inc. is one of the largest integrated tourism companies in the world and the leader in Canada's holiday travel industry. Our contribution to development is not expressed merely in economic terms. The desire to protect exceptional natural sites and habitats, and to preserve heritage (both tangible and intangible), the openness of different cultures to one another (though much remains to be done) and a worldwide consciousness, continually growing, that diversity and the environment merit our protection—all this originates at least in part from the fascination that we all feel for our planet and the people who live on it.
Perhaps, also, from this unfathomable sense, deep within each of us, of how fragile things are. The fact that tourism's contributions to human affairs are impossible to measure takes nothing away from their importance. But it is part of the reason why its benefits often go unnoticed, especially in the so-called industrialized economies.
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
1. Don't throw away recoverable articles. If you can, bring them back them to your place of residence to put them recycling.
2. Reuse bath towels supplied at your hotel, rather than having them laundered each day.
3. Avoid using plastic bags. Instead, bring your own fabric bags or a backpacks.
4. Try to use long-lasting dishes (glass, china). Otherwise, try reusing the same plastic or polystyrene dishes.
5. Store your toiletries (cream, oil, medicines) in small reusable or recyclable bottles.
6. Collect your waste when travelling until you find a garbage can.
7. Use new technologies like virtual boarding passes and the Internet to cut down on paper used. Ask to your travel adviser to send you your information by e-mail.
8. Switch off the lights and the electric devices when not in use, even at the hotel.
9. Use existing foot paths in wooded and natural areas to avoid causing damages to the fauna and flora.
10. Do not buy products made from endangered natural resources. Be aware of prohibited items for transport as well.
11. Don't use disposable cameras if you can. Consider the advantages to get a digital camera.
12. Look for ecological options for transport, such as walking and cycling. Also think about using local public transportation system, it is a great way to meet the locals!
13. Eat locally produced food. By doing so, you will support the economy of the region and reduce the pollution needed for transportation of goods - due to the transportation of goods.
14. Before leaving, think of preparing your place of residence for your absence. Switch off the air-conditioner and disconnect devices which bustle in your everyday life (alarm clock, lamp …)

On these days, Madhava wakes up to the call of the cuckoo. As the eastern horizon is still turning pink, her garden is joined by early birds such as magpie robins, tailorbirds and white-cheeked barbets, along with cuckoos, all looking for a snack in her garden or neighborhood. Once the early morning rays fill his garden and the flowers bloom, the purple sunbirds, Luton's sunbirds with their sickle-like beaks and small yellow flowered chickadees come to drink nectar. are, and fill the surroundings with their chatter and chatter. Reaching from one flower to another.

Madhav, associate professor at the Asian School of Business, and an avid naturalist, explains that many birds have tweets and bird songs. He laughs and says that even a cuckoo can be grumpy and angry, just like someone speaking angrily to another person. "Mynahs have a full repertoire of chirps and sounds while the harsh chirping of the Rufous Treepie, now abundant in the city, is occasionally replaced by melodious notes. One can watch these birds for hours and a Never gets tired even for a moment," says Madhav.

Even as naturalists and birders watch for flocks of birds in their neighborhoods at the Great Backyard Bird Count from February 17 to 20, for avid bird watchers, every day of the year the birds around them. There is an opportunity to see the population. .
Thiruvananthapuram's green cover and diverse habitats make it an interesting place for birders, says wildlife photographer and filmmaker Suresh Ellamon. In 2011, he filmed The Living in his garden at his home in Karmana. It included reptiles, insects and birds.

Suresh says that in the city, one of the early risers is the magpie robin who starts the day with mellifluous notes. In fact, health experts believe that waking up with birds is one of the best ways to start the day. Guardian A recent UK-based survey of the World's Garden Wildlife Count shows that watching birds and listening to birdsong has a positive effect on our health, the report said.

Dr. Kalish says that there are different types of birds that can see in day and night. "Mothers, bulbuls, crows and doves are active from dawn to dusk, and so are house sparrows. But as the urban environment changes drastically, it has affected house sparrow populations. Once, they Cereals were found in abundance near the markets in Chala and Palam. But supermarkets have reduced the availability of cereals, so they can only be seen in certain pockets. Moreover, in our orchards, the variety of birds It depends on the environment where we live," explains Kalish.

The brilliant blue glow seen near ponds and reservoirs is usually a white-breasted kingfisher that emits a series of high-pitched calls. Another commonly heard bird is the Black-rumped Flameback Woodpecker. Its tapping sound is distinctive as it burrows into a tree or coconut palm to find food or even shelter. The calls of woodpeckers are usually heard after the sun is in the sky and before dusk.

Ruby-red-eyed, russet and black-winged crow pheasants can be found throughout the city, usually in the early morning or late afternoon. Their distinctive deep call is often heard in places with little natural greenery.
Kingfishers and Lesser Flameback Woodpeckers were a common sight in the city as there were water bodies, coconut palms and old trees, bird watchers said. As concrete jungles have replaced trees and water bodies, kingfishers and woodpeckers are becoming rarer in the city.

Flocks of pink parrots can be seen feeding on the seeds of some trees. And now many people have peacocks in their gardens, a sign that the city's wetlands are becoming scarce.
Dr. Kalish says that the white-headed buffalo, known as Kadila bud, is a bird found in abundance in Thiruvananthapuram, Palakkad and Thrissur as it prefers dry areas to wet areas. The palm swift, commonly found where there are palms, and the little green bee-eater are feathered inhabitants of the city and its suburbs.

At sunset, when most birds that are active during the day are nesting, nocturnal birds such as owls can be heard calling. The most common barren in the city is the forest owl. "These birds can be heard in many horror movies in Malayalam! Barn owls and brown hawk owls can be seen flying around silently at night," says Dr Kalish.

Prospect Gardens Park
10940 S. Prospect Ave.
Chicago, IL 60643
Botanical Garden: Picnic, Walk
In 1872, when developers were platting the early suburb of Morgan Park, they set aside nearly three acres of property on Prospect Avenue as parkland. In 1905, the Village of Morgan Park transferred the property to the Calumet Park District. In 1906, the Calumet Park District officially designated the park, originally known as Prospect Park, Prospect Gardens. The District adopted a park plan designed by noted landscape architect Jens Jensen; among Jensen's creations was a lily pond begun in 1909. The Chicago Park District took control of Prospect Gardens in 1934, when the 22 park boards were consolidated into a unified district.


Question: Does Milk Cause Pus?
What does GREY pus mean?
Does pasteurized milk have pus?
Why is cow milk white?
Milk is naturally a white substance due to the make-up of water and other components including fat and protein that mix together to form tiny particles which reflect light. … When light hits these casein micelles it causes the light to refract and scatter resulting in milk appearing white.
Is there pus in UK milk?
In the UK, a third of all dairy cows have mastitis each year – a bacterial infection of the udders. Like us, cows produce pus when they are fighting infection. … Average UK levels are around 200,000 pus cells per millilitre – that's around one million cells in every teaspoonful of milk!

Does cheese have pus?
Many cheeses are made with rennet, an enzyme that comes from calves' stomach lining. … Cheese—like all dairy products—contains pus from cows whose udders get bacterial infections when the cows are treated like milk machines by the dairy industry. Cheese is loaded with artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol.
Does almond milk have pus?
The government should ensure that milk cartons are labelled with the pus content, but if you don't want to drink pus, you can buy or make soya, almond, rice, oat or any nut milk you like without any pus in it," says Heather Mills McCartney, patron of the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation.
Is milk a cow's mucus?
Is it cruel to drink cow's milk?

Water: Community-Based Water Resiliency
Pilot Lessons Learned and Recommendations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched the Community-Based Water Resiliency (CBWR) initiative to increase overall community preparedness by raising awareness of Water Sector Interdependencies and enhance integration of the Water Sector into community emergency preparedness and response efforts.
To that end, EPA has supported several water emergency community meetings to discuss specific water challenges of the community and help enhance the preparedness and resiliency in the face of water service interruptions. These meetings highlighted lessons learned during past emergency responses and provided recommendations to improve resiliency.
St. Clair County Water Resiliency Roundtable Summary (PDF) (15 pp, 351K, About PDF)
EPA 817-S-13-001, April 2013
Please click on the tabs below to learn more about their lessons learned and recommendations.
- Response Plans
- Emergency Communications
- Alternative Supply Planning
- Continuity of Operations
Water Sector Interdependencies
- Many critical community services and businesses rely on drinking water and wastewater services to operate. An interruption to water service would likely limit or halt these services.
- Many organizations do not plan for a loss of water service, because drinking water and wastewater services have been reliable.
- Water utilities also rely on other critical infrastructures, such as transportation and electricity. Damage to these infrastructures can impact the delivery of drinking water and wastewater services.
Emergency Response Plans
An Emergency Response Plan is a document that describes the actions that you would take in response to various emergency incidents (e.g., flood, contamination, vandalism).
- Many emergency response plans do not address an interruption to drinking water and wastewater services.
- Water utilities are not often included in community-wide emergency response exercises.
- Ensure emergency response plans address an interruption to drinking water and wastewater services. See the Preparedness Planning section of our Emergency Response page for on developing or updating your emergency response plan.
- Exercise your emergency response plans! Take advantage our Tabletop Exercise Tool for Water Systems: Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Climate Resiliency to assist utilities in exercising their emergency response plans.
- Engage decision makers in water sector and critical infrastructure preparedness planning process by participating in Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs)
- The flow of communications between responders and the public can drastically impact the success of an emergency response.
- Roles and responsibilities during an emergency are often unclear.
- Landline and cellular phone service may not be reliable during an emergency.
- Ensure that all contact lists are kept up to date. Use these contact lists during exercises and update accordingly.
- Host a community-wide meeting on water emergencies to build relationships in advance of an emergency. The Water Resiliency Action Plan (WRAP) Kit, part of the CBWR Tool, provides a step-by-step process for planning and conducting a meeting.
- Ensure all emergency preparedness entities have a Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) Card to ensure completion of their phone calls when normal calling methods are unsuccessful, during period of severe network congestion. Utilize the GETS Web site to determine eligibility and get the card.
- Message mapping can help your organization prepare for crisis communications in advance of an emergency. Read the Effective Risk and Crisis Communication during Water Sector Emergencies (PDF) (72 pp, 1MB, About PDF) Summary Report for more information.
- Ensure that all response partners are properly training in the Incident Command System/National Incident Management System (ICS/NIMS) Framework.
Alternative Supply Planning
- Alternative water supplies can provide potable water during an emergency for community drinking water needs and for the maintenance of critical services.
- Many businesses and organizations in a community often rely on the same distributor for bottled water.
- Interconnections with other utilities are often not tested or exercised regularly.
- Without an alternative water supply, facilities may be forced to shut down. Hospitals may have to relocate patients.
- Obtain additional information on alternative water supplies during an emergency from the Planning for an Emergency Drinking Water Supply (PDF) (51 pp, 811K, About PDF).
- Conduct water audits to identify water usage and critical needs during an emergency.
To learn about conducting a water audit at your facility, read the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document, Emergency Water Supply Planning Guide for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities (PDF) (95 pp, 2MB, About PDF).
- Identify, test, and exercise interconnections between local water systems.
Continuity of Operations
- Continuity of operations planning (COOP) ensures that essential functions can continue during an emergency.
- Many businesses are not prepared for an interruption to drinking water and wastewater services for more than three days.
- Businesses may be forced to shut down or relocate if water service is not restored quickly.
- Hospitals may have to shut down and patients relocated to alternate healthcare facilities.
- Cross-train employees to handle multiple responsibilities.

[Updated] The "object" that was found in Bermuda waters yesterday [Aug 12] is a scientific glider used to collect marine data which was recently deployed by scientists from the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences [BIOS].
The Harbour Radio Duty Officer said, "Bermuda Radio can confirm that the suspected missile spotted on the crown of challenger bank is in fact a scientific glider used to collect marine data. The unit was recently deployed by scientists from BIOS in conjunction with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
"The instrument stopped transmitting data around 48 hours ago and was considered lost. BIOS and Woods Hole are keen to recover the unit. Any sighting of the glider should be reported to Bermuda Radio so that retrieval can be arranged," concluded the Duty Officer.
The glider had caused great interest last night, with many people trying their hand and guessing what it might be. Some people did guess correctly that it was a scientific object used by BIOS, while many others thought it may have been some form of missile/drone/torpedo/bomb.
Update 9.15am: Larry George from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts [website] confirmed that the object is a spray glider/autonomous underwater vehicle which is used to collect information about the ocean and is controlled remotely.
The glider was deployed in Bermuda waters on August 10th, and they lost all contact with it on August 11th, and assumed it was lost until they received a phone call late last night.
The glider was deployed to record data such as fine ocean currents, with Dr Jong Jin Park and Dr Breck Owens from Woods Hole the scientists in charge of the research.
Asked how many of these gliders are in our waters, Mr George confirmed that this is the only one. He explained the glider was marked, however it was upside down in the water hence the marking was not visible. He also the fact the glider was upside down indicated that something had gone wrong with it.
As of this writing the glider is still in the waters, but a team from BIOS is heading out this morning to try and recover it.

Illustration: Rainy Day by NadyZima_klgd via Pixabay
Is it a sign when it seems to rain only over your own house? One wonders what one has done to displease those who order and deliver our weather each and every day.
Highlights of the week ahead include some rain, chilly weather earlier today on Shabbat, followed by a quick warm up, and then an end of the season winter storm with heavy rain, strong winds, and... snow?
After another chilly day on Shabbat, the temperatures will spike upwards into Monday night, when they will fall rapidly into Tuesday. Precipitation should arrive late Tuesday and continue into next Shabbat.
Along the way, temperatures will chill-off further as we move into Wednesday and Thursday. At the moment, about 30% of the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) members are predicting temperatures cold enough for a heavy snow.
However, there are some caveats. Overall, the atmosphere as a whole will be on the mean colder than any other storm so far this year, which means that wet snow would be more likely to occur even if surface temperatures are above freezing in, for example, Jerusalem. Yet, the Canadian and European ensemble forecasts do not quite bring the coldest air as far south as the GEFS. Less cold air means lower chances for a snowy end to our winter.
Forecasts after motzei Shabbat will hopefully tell us more about the details of our upcoming storm.

Program teaches youngsters about science, art connection
MONTCLAIR - Animated movies took on a whole other dimension to a group of local students on Monday.
With the help of Ontario-Montclair School District school officials, parents of GATE students hosted a day of summer science enrichment activities with a lecture by Cal State San Bernardino biology professor Stuart Sumida.
"I thought that you just drew pictures, but I didn't know that you needed any science and math to do it," said Haley Kurz, sixth-grader at Buena Vista Arts-integrated Elementary School.
Sumida, a frequent anatomical consultant to movie studios, spoke to the students about the connection between science and art.
For an hour, five students from the district's two magnet schools - Buena Vista and Vina Danks Middle School - listened to Sumida talk about bone structure, digestive system, body weight, dinosaurs, body movement and how all those elements factor into how artists draw characters.
"What you eat determines your body shape, where your eyes are, where your feet are and how you eat," Sumida said after describing animals who are carnivores and herbivores.
Parents of GATE students in the spring-formed Parents Like Us, or PLUS, and have organized a series of enrichment activities for students at the two schools as well as the summer activities.
Students looked a series of photos from the movies Sumida worked on, including "Beauty and the Beast," "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron," "Brother Bear," "Tarzan" and "How to Train Your Dragon."
"While we don't know the science of a dragon, we know where to start," Sumida said.
Figuring out muscle system as a skeleton helped in creating characters that were hybrids of two or more animals.
"Even when we build a dragon or a flying horse, we always look at things that we know about, and that's biology," Sumida said.


Make the end of our
Bourbon's Journey
Just as refined as the beginning
While our bourbons are designed to bring an air of craft to any cocktail, a little technique can go a long way, as well. To help you learn the tricks and blending styles of our finest mixologists, we've created the handy guide below with six techniques to make you a better bartender.
Technique 1:
When crafting many types of cocktails, from the Bourbon Smash to the Mint Julep, you'll need to extract juice from fruit pulp and essential oils from herbs and citrus peels. In other words, muddling is a must. Before you begin, you'll need a muddler—a small metal or wooden pestle resembling a miniature baseball bat. Next, start by combining your fresh ingredients at the bottom of a mixing glass. Then use your muddler to press them together, releasing the flavors and allowing them to mingle with your other ingredients once added.
Technique 2:
In recent years, layering has become more and more popular, like in the Black Cherry Cooler. To layer a drink, individually pour the ingredients in a shot glass in order from heaviest to lightest. To prevent them from mixing together, carefully pour over a barspoon (or teaspoon). Because ingredients differ in density, the layers will stay separate. However, before you begin, you'll need to know how heavy your ingredients are in relation to one another. As a rule of thumb, the lower the proof of the alcohol, the heavier the ingredient is. For instance, grenadine (non-alcoholic) is heavier than Jim Beam Black® (86 proof/43% abv) which is heavier than Jim Beam® Bonded (100 proof/50% abv).
Technique 3:
Shaking came into prominence in the mid-1800s and has since become an undeniable trademark of cocktail society. Utter the phrase, "Shaken, not stirred." and everyone who's anyone will know exactly what you're referencing. A less well-known tidbit is that there are many types of shakers—the traditional three-part cobbler shaker, the more modern two-part Boston shaker and the French shaker, to name a few. No matter which kind of shaker you choose, start by pouring in your ingredients and then fill the shaker a third or halfway with ice. Next, seal the shaker and shake rhythmically until the outside feels cold enough. Finally, strain the shaker's contents into the proper glass. Just remember not to shake carbonated ingredients, except for in special circumstances.
Technique 4:
This is a less common cocktail mixing technique, but some drinks simply can't be made without an electric blender. Drinks calling for fresh fruit or ice pulp, like a Kentucky Margarita, should always be made this way. Simply add your ingredients to a blender with smashed ice. Then blend for about 10 to 30 seconds before pouring the blended cocktail directly into the proper glass.
Technique 5:
Ever made a Jim Beam®& Cola? That's building, and it's the simplest way to make a cocktail. To build your drink, carefully pour all the ingredients in the glass (generally over ice) and enjoy. Since carbonated ingredients like soda generally shouldn't be shaken, cocktails involving them will usually use this technique.
Technique 6:
Stirring is a classic method for mixing cocktails like the Manhattan. To begin, pour your ingredients into a Yarai mixing glass and then fill the rest of the way with ice. Next, stir well with a barspoon until your drink is well chilled and mixed. And finally, strain your cocktail into the proper glass.
practice makes damn good drinks
Now that you know the basics, you're all set to begin perfecting your methods on our extenisve list of cocktails or, of course, to try your hand at inventing few drinks of your own

I'm new from Illustrator and I am missing a few features - primarily the "rubber band" visual which allows you to see the path you're drawing as you drag the cursor to a new point. Also I was wondering if there was any plugin which turned the pen tool into something like the curvature pen tool in AI - where it by default puts down curved nodes instead of corner ones? Thanks!
Glyphs works differently in this regard to Illustrator. Click to add a straight segment; click and drag to add a curved segment. This is also why a rubber band preview would not work in Glyphs: Illustrator defaults to adding curved segments, but since in Glyphs a new segment can be either straight or curved, there is no single segment to preview as you move your mouse pointer.
It doesn't have to be like a rubberband tool. It can be just a dotted-straight line from the previous anchor to the pen just to gauge where we are placing the next anchor.
It can also act as feedback to know if the pen tool is making a new path or continuing the previous path. i.e. if there is a dotted line connected between the curser and the previous anchor, it will mean we are continuing the path, and the absence of it shows it's a new path.

Riposte is a fighting command which can be used to rapidly counterstrike against an opponent following a successful parry, providing an almost free attack.
Riposte may be only be performed when armed, and when the player's tactics-response is set to either 'parry' or 'neutral'. Command help describes riposte as a thrust attack and it seems to only work with weapons that can either Stab or Pierce. You need sufficient Strength relative to the weight of the weapon (see Research:Riposte).
Riposting is a three-stage process:
 1. The player must pass a fighting.special.weapon skillcheck in order to prepare the command.
 2. They must then successfully parry an incoming attack against the opponent on whom they are executing the riposte.
 3. They then perform a normal skillcheck of their appropriate fighting.melee weapon skill for an extra attack.
Riposte gives the player a single extra attack that has a very low action point costresearch. Note that a riposte attack is essentially a normal attack - it doesn't do significantly more damage than normal, and it can be defended against just like any other attack.

What should I know about travel to the United States for medical treatment?
To travel to the United States for medical treatment, it is necessary to apply for a visa at the US consulate in your country. The visa requested is a general nonimmigrant visa (B-2). There is no special visa to travel for medical treatment. To determine your eligibility for a visa, you must contact the American embassy in your country. In addition to the general documents that must be completed to apply for a B-2 visa, you will need the following documents to apply for a visa for medical treatment:
1. A professional diagnosis by a physician in your country of origin, describing your current health condition and why treatment should be conducted in the United States.
2. An official letter from the doctor or hospital in the United States to confirm they are accepting patients for treatment. This document must carry a full report on the estimated cost and duration of treatment. The estimated cost must include all costs of treatment and medical care.
3. Proof that you can pay the full cost of treatment. If you will not pay your own expenses, you will need a letter from the individual or organization that will take care of expenses including medical, transport costs and accommodation expenses. You must show evidence of being able to pay the costs, either in the form of bank statements or other forms of proof of income, savings, or certified copies of tax payments.
4. Proof of economic, social and professional ties that require you to return home after completing medical treatment.
Start your visa application process well in advance of the scheduled date of travel and do not make concrete travel plans or buy tickets until the visa has been issued. The Lupus Foundation of America cannot serve as a visa sponsor. In addition to the US Consulate in your country, you can find more information on the website of the United States Department of State.

Pitt's Historic Impact
Beware of Mr. Yuk!
"Mr. Yuk is mean. Mr. Yuk is greeeeen." Those were the opening lyrics of a 1971 commercial jingle about the scowling green face that warns children not to consume toxic household chemicals.
That year, due to an alarming number of children's deaths by poisoning in the Pittsburgh area, Pitt founded the Pittsburgh Poison Center (PPC) and introduced Mr. Yuk as a substitute for the traditional skull-and-crossbones symbol, which children were no longer associating with danger. (Among other things, the Jolly Roger, was part of the Pittsburgh Pirates' logo decades before that had become somewhat toxic, at least among local sports fans.) But when children see Mr. Yuk's stuck-out tongue and sickly green color, they understand he is disgusted and sick, and poison is pretty nasty stuff.
Mr. Yuk is now famous, and the PPC took a national leadership role among more than 660 poison centers in 1978. Directed by pharmacist Edward Krenzelok, the PPC and Mr. Yuk have educated and protected millions of children regarding the dangers of poisoning. Each year, the poison center distributes millions of Mr. Yuk stickers designed to be put on bottles of household chemicals and to keep kids out of danger.

Redeemers (Earth-712)
Determined to stop the Squadron Supreme from taking over the United States, Nighthawk (Kyle Richmond) planned to assassinate its leader, Hyperion with a bullet made of argonite, an isotope whose radiation was lethal to him. The opportunity to kill Hyperion came during a Presidential speech. Richmond addressed the nation, taking responsibility for his actions while under control of the Overmind. He then turned the podium over to Hyperion, who made the speech in which, in effect, the Squadron Supreme seized control of the United States. While Hyperion spoke, Richmond stood behind him, and tried to force himself to fire the gun, but was unable to kill his friend.
Nighthawk spent the following year organizing a counterforce powerful enough to oppose the Squadron. He spoke with Professor Imam who assisted him on his quest. He managed to recruit three of his foes, the Mink, Pinball, and Remnant, one expelled Squadron member; the Golden Archer (who renamed himself Black Archer), and five superhumans beings who had not gone public with their abilities, Haywire, Inertia, Moonglow, Redstone, and Thermite. The Redeemers later convinced Foxfire and Lamprey to join after they freed her from behavior modification.
When the Redeemers finally confronted the Squadron the battle was devastating with casualties on both sides. Nighthawk, Foxfire, Lamprey, Pinball, Black Archer and Thermite were all killed in the confrontation. Although Nighthawk had died, he still won the battle. The Squadron Supreme surrendered and Hyperion proposed that the Squadron disband.

Mainstreaming Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) in police and planning in Nairobi: iInstitutional issues and challenges
MetadataShow full item record
Non Motorized Transport (NMT) is a dominant mode of transport in African cities, and there are a number of institutional issues and challenges that confront African governments in mainstreaming the mode into the overall planning of cities. This paper acknowledges the progress made in the mainstreaming of NMT in planning, including inherent institutional issues and challenges, based on preliminary findings from a study on NMT provision in Nairobi. The paper argues that, in spite of several attempts aimed at mainstreaming NMT in policy and planning, the process is confronted with institutional issues and challenges which affect implementation. After an extensive discussion of the NMT drivers, institutional issues and challenges, the paper concludes that there is an innovative trend emerging which bears hope for mainstreaming NMT within the city of Nairobi. As discussed in the paper, there is awareness among various actors of the need to accommodate and integrate NMT into the existing modes of transport. However, a number of challenges impact on this effort, including: the slow pace of processing the National Integrated Transport Policy, an existing biased inclination towards motorised transport, poor coordination of the drivers of NMT, and, poor enforcement of regulations. These constraints make it difficult to conclusively determine the direction of NMT mainstreaming within the city of Nairobi.


The topic bullmastiff is discussed in the following articles:
 - TITLE: mastiff (breed of dog)
 The bullmastiff, a cross between the mastiff and the bulldog, was developed in 19th-century England; it was used chiefly to discourage poaching on estates and game preserves and was known as the "gamekeeper's night-dog." The bullmastiff is a tan, reddish brown, or brindled dog, with black on the face and ears. It stands 24 to 27 inches (61 to 69 cm) and weighs 100 to 130 pounds (45...

Tools and Materials
- Paper clay
- Black permanent marker (optional)
- Bowl with round bottom
- Toilet paper roll
Note: If you don't have a bowl with a perfectly round bottom, place cotton on the bottom of a flat-bottomed bowl, then cover with plastic wrap to create a perfectly round work surface for the igloo.
Polar Bear How-To
- Starting with a golf ball-size ball of clay, use palms to roll clay into a teardrop shape. Hold in palm and press side of pointer finger into teardrop vertically, leaving a little bit of clay untouched at the tapered top (this will be the head).
- Press side of pointer finger into clay horizontally, one third of the way down from the tapered top, to create a cross.
- Pinch each quadrant divided by the cross to create four legs. To make a tail, push the clay up on bear's backside.
- If you want your bear to sit, place the bear's backside down on table and push head downward. If you want it to stand on all fours, place legs on table and push head upward. Use a finger dipped in water to smooth out any imperfections.
- To create ears, place two tiny balls of clay on head; smear back of ear with finger to attach.
- Place a pencil under the arms to hold the shape; let dry. Add eyes with a black permanent marker, if desired.
- Tuck in an edge of a toilet paper roll so it sits flush against the bowl; attach to bowl with tape.
- Roll out a thin layer of clay. Drape clay over bowl and press around form.
- Create "blocks" using the handle of a paintbrush, starting from the top and working your way down. Let dry.

Soaring Himalayan Griffon Vulture
August 27, 2009
The Himalayan Griffon Vulture (Gyps himalayensis) flies over large swaths of central Asia including the Himalaya, Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges. Weighing in at 20-some pounds (12.5 kg) and with a wingspan of about 10 feet (3 meters) they are the second largest Old World Vulture. Their large wingspan helps them stay aloft for hours at a time as they soar on rising convection currents of heated air called thermals. This gives it a perfect platform for observing the land below for a potential meal. Like other vultures this one helps to keep the planet in sustainable harmony by eating anything dead and rotting it finds. The Himalayan Griffon is not considered to be endangered. This particular bird is soaring effortlessly on thermals high above a flutter of Buddhist prayer flags near a sky burial site at Ganden Monastery Tibet. This monastery was established early in the 15th century. It was the first, and for many centuries, the main monastery of the Gelug (Geluk, "Yellow Hat") sect which is now the main sect in Tibet. It was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and has since been rebuilt.

UART-based connections
Renode allows connecting boards into a network using UART devices that exchange data.
Creating a hub
UART devices can be connected together using UART hubs.
To create a hub named uartHub, execute:
(monitor) emulation CreateUARTHub "uartHub"
Connecting UART devices
In order for UART devices to be able to communicate, they must be connected to a common UART hub.
Exactly as in the case of the wired network, use connector to connect them together:
(monitor) mach set 0
(machine-0) connector Connect sysbus.uart uartHub
(machine-1) mach set 1
(machine-1) connector Connect sysbus.uart uartHub
Disconnecting UART devices
You can also disonnect a device from a hub with:
(machine-1) connector Disconnect sysbus.uart uartHub
Running the simulation
The UART hub is created in a paused state, which means it won't transfer any data between devices. To enable the communication it must be started first. It happens automatically when starting the whole simulation, with:
(monitor) start
or can be triggered manually, with:
(monitor) uartHub Start
From this moment on data sent to sysbus.uart on machine-0 will be received by sysbus.uart on machine-1 and vice versa.
You can also stop a hub at any moment, with:
(monitor) uartHub Pause
In order to ensure the determinism of the simulation, bytes sent over an uartHub are buffered and delivered to the receiver at predefined times. Please, note that this might lead to slight delays in the communication. The maximum delay is controllable by the quantum parameter. For details on how the synchronization works and how to configure it, refer to the synchronization section of the documentation.

A 3D numerical study of the bubble generation process into a bubble T-junction generator and its comparison with experimental data: part I
Document typeConference report
Rights accessOpen Access
This work presents a 3D numerical study of the bubble generation process into a bubble generator obtained with the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics solver ANSYS Fluent v15.0.7, and its comparison with experimental data reproducing the same conditions. The bubble generator is formed by two perpendicular capillaries in which liquid and gas are injected at perpendicular directions into a 1 mm internal diameter capillary T-junction with a total length of 10 mm. The fluids used in experiments and CFD simulations are air and water, both of them considered incompressible and isothermal, at a room temperature of 25. A total of 23 different cases are studied for different injection conditions, and results between numerical simulations and experiments are compared. In this first part of the analysis, we focus on the flow pattern regimes and the dynamics of the bubble generation process. In addition to the new numerical simulations presented here, a new model has been used to predict the bubble generation frequency and tested with both experimental and numerical data. Results on bubble generation frequency are also presented by means of the non-dimensional Strouhal number. Same types of patterns, bubble and slug flow regimes, are obtained in simulations and experiments. In order to perform an exhaustive validation and comparison of numerical simulations with experimental data, several parameters have been selected: bubble velocity, volumetric void fraction, bubble generation frequency, Strouhal number and bubble equivalent diameter. Numerical simulations agree qualitatively, but not always quantitatively, with experimental results. 772

This paper introduces the methodology and the results of the FP7 EvoCS-project (The Evolving Concept of Security: A critical evaluation across four dimensions) so as to give answers to the questions what NATO is needed for what threats; what is a strategic culture and how does it relate to the threats; how strategic cultures of NATO member states are being transformed. The paper provides a brief overview of the EvoCS project and its methodology and a short introduction to the concept of strategic cultures. The section on 'The Public Security Discourse in Four European NATO Countries' presents the results of the first stage of the research process in EvoCS for countries which are relevant in the framework of NATO and the historical trajectory of the security discourse in the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, and Bulgaria. Also, the results are compared to the results of a comprehensive study on the strategic culture of European countries. At the end of this section is Figure 2, which sums up the main results of the EvoCS project's case studies. The concluding section sums up the discussions, compares them with results on strategic cultures and gives a possible outlook to the questions posed.

A SOIL ADDITIVE DESIGNED TO CUT IRRIGATION COSTS BY IMPROVING WATER RETAINING CAPACITY OF SOILS.
FREE FLOWING GRANULES WHICH ABSORB MANY TIMES THEIR OWN WEIGHT OF WATER AND RELEASE IT TO PLANTS.
IMPROVES WATER ECONOMY.
Aquadiamonds is a soil additive. Itís high water absorbing properties are designed for use in soil preparations to improve water economy and to increase plant growth through the formation of a stable growing environment
Aquadiamonds is a synthetic long-lasting polymer supplied as free flowing granules which can repeatedly absorb and desorb up to 500 times its own weight of water. The water is absorbed rapidly and acts as a reservoir for the plantís roots to draw upon thus ensuring conditions for healthy plant growth.
AppearanceFree flowing off white granules. Particle size either 0.5 to 1.0 mm or 1 to 3 mm depending on application.
Bulk density- +/- 700 g/l (un-compacted).
AbsorptionUp to 500 g of water/g of Aquadiamonds
capacity (depending on water quality).
B.O.D.s +/- 10mg 02/gm Aquadiamonds.
SUMMARY OF ADVANTAGES
Rapid and high water absorption.
Reduce seepage losses.
Maintains water supply to plants.
Reduced irrigation frequency.
Applied with conventional machinery, without pre-wetting.
Long lasting, once only treatment.
High bulk density minimizes windage loss.
Higher plant establishment rates.
Reduced losses due to transplant shock.
1) Landscaping - Arid Climates
In arid regions where rainfall is infrequent and variable, mean temperatures are high and summer winds are hot and dry, the growth of plants is usually limited by availability of irrigation water. This can be an expensive item to the grower, since the cost of distilled seawater may be twenty times as high as that of pumping ground water.
Aquadiamonds is especially useful in sandy soils, where the natural water retention at field capacity is low. Addition of small amounts of Aquadiamonds to sandy soils significantly increases the amount of water available at low moisture tensions. This, in turn, can improve plant survival rates, permitting a more efficient use of water resources, since water would otherwise percolate too quickly through the sand to support healthy plant growth.
A further benefit of Aquadiamonds is that it can help decrease erosion by the formation of a light crust on the soil surface. The soil stability is further enhanced as Aquadiamonds can stimulate root growth, which will consolidate the protection against erosion, as they grow.
2) Aquadiamonds as a growing medium additive
Another important use of Aquadiamonds is as an additive to a growing medium such as peat. Incorporation of small amounts of Aquadiamonds into the growing medium can result in one or more of the following benefits.
a) Reduced water consumption
b) Lower failure rate of plants
c) Reduced watering frequency
d) Reduced labor costs associated with (c)
e) Reduced losses due to transplant shock
Addition of Aquadiamonds will also facilitate the handling of peat in dry climates where problems of peat drying out and having to be re-wet can be largely overcome.
The amount of water that any soil can retain and hold readily available to plants is determined by the size distribution of individual pores, especially the proportion of micro pores. In the porous structure of the soil there are two forces trying to remove the water:
(1) Upwards -transpiration of plants and soil surface. (2) Downwards - gravity.
The smaller the pores the higher the force by which the water is held. These forces are expressed in bar or cms water, and the term pF is used where: pF value - log10 (-suction in cm water), i.e. a suction of 2 bar corresponds to a pF value of 3.3. The relationship between moisture content and pF value is strongly dependent on soil type. If pF value is plotted vs moisture content (see figure 2) there are two important points relating to the pF value (i.e. suction value).
1) The Permanent Wilting Point - the maximum suction that plants can exert to withdraw water from a porous medium. The P.W.P. is generally taken as pF 4.2. (or 16 bar).
2) The field capacity (F.C.) is the moisture content of the soil when, after saturation, the soil is allowed to drain freely for 1-2 days. Generally a pF 2.0 corresponds to moisture content at F.C. This means, therefore, that for the plant, water is available only in the suction range between 0.1 and 16 bar i.e. pF 2.0 and pF 4.2. Water held at lower suctions will drain very quickly and that held at higher suctions is available to the plant.
An increase in available water capacity could result in:
(a) Decrease in drainage losses of water when the soil is wetted to levels higher than field capacity.
(b) Extend the period where the soil is able to supply the plant with water and
(c) Extend the irrigation interval in irrigated agriculture.
In order to show that Aquadiamonds was capable of increasing the available water capacity and that this water was available to the plant, two series of independent tests were carried out.
1) Effect on available water capacity
The soil used in these tests was a sandy soil similar in particle size distribution to a sandy desert soil from Saudi Arabia.
Further independent tests using a 50/50 mixture of fertile arable calcareous sandy clay and sand have indicated that if Aquadiamonds were used in practice at a rate of 5 tonnes per hectare, and incoroporated to a depth of 15 cms the water holding capacity could be increased by approximately 500 tonnes per hectare equivalent to 5 cms additional available water. In soils of inherently low available water capacity, such as sandy soils, this could be of great importance, leading to reduced frequency of irrigation.
Identical tests to those were repeated using a competitive material based on a Urea Formaldehyde Foam.
The results are based on a dosage of 30% by volume which is at least twice the recommended dosage. (Lesser amounts did not alter the results.)
Tests show that although the U.F. foam can increase the water holding capacity, the water that is held would preferentially drain away rather than be available for the plant. Between pFís 2.0 and 4.2 the addition of the foam has no effect on the moisture holding capacity of the soil under test and therefore its effect as a means to promote plant growth by improving water availability is negligible.
APPLICATION AND DOSAGE RATES
1. For surface cover plants in landscaping applications Aquadiamonds should be distributed evenly in the topsoil to a depth of 10 cms. Rates will vary depending on soil type and available water but should be in the range of 1 to 5 Kg/m3.
2. Aquadiamonds can be applied using current techniques. Following addition, the treated soil should be saturated with water before planting begins.
3. For shrubs and trees Aquadiamonds should be added to the hole prior to transplanting at 0.1 to 0.5 Kg per plant, dependent upon type. For grasses the recommended dosage rates are 0.1 to 1.0 Kg/m3 of soil.
For use as an additive in substrate preparations levels of 0.1 to 0.2 by weight are recommended.

Legend has it that the name came from the red color of water that got into the river when the Red River flooded. It sounds plausible. Levees now keep the Red from flowing into the Vermilion, but in earlier times the two were connected through a series of waterways.
But that's not the only theory about how the river got its name.
According to a 1976 article by Albert Gaude, who was then curator of natural science at the Lafayette Natural History Museum and Planetarium, there are three major theories about the name.
According to the first one, settlers who came up Bayou Vermilion saw Red River soil deposits on either side of the bayou as far downstream as the community of Long Bridge (where the Breaux Bridge highway crosses the Vermilion Bayou).
This soil ranges from a brown to a bright red color, especially when it is wet. As the color vermilion is defined as "a vivid red to reddish orange," Gaude says "it would seem apt for the early discoverers to name this stream for its brightly colored banks."
He notes that the early spelling of the river's name was Vermillion, as it would be spelled in French, but that the English spelling, Vermilion, was later adopted.
In some Spanish documents the stream is called Rio Bermellon, and it is described as running from the "pubelo of St. Landri' through "atacapas country" down to the Bahia de Bermellon (Vermilion Bay).
A second theory for the river's name concerns the tiny Azolla caroliniana fern, sometimes called mosquito fern, which grows on the surface of sluggish streams in the South.
Under a canopy of trees, it can form dense sheets of vegetation that cover the surface of the stream, but, Gaude notes, "when the sun's rays reach the surface of the water with full intensity, these dense green mats turn to a uniform 'autumnal red' color." These sheets can be regularly seen along several stretches of the river.
The last theory involves the Attakapas, probably the earliest settlers of the area, who sometimes used a reddish ochre as body paint.
But when Europeans came to the area, they brought a new powder called "Vermilion" which was made from cinnabar and was a much-brighter red. They traded this powder with the Attakapas in exchange for furs and other goods.
Gaude suggests that the river could have gotten its name because of the unusually heavy trading in the red powder.
We know that there were several Attakapas villages on the river that might have provided fertile trading ground.

If there's one thing we can all depend on, it's that everything dies, right?
Well, today we will introduce you to a creature that appears to be its own fountain of youth!
It sounds a little crazy, but meet the Hydra, an organism that appears to defy the patterns of nature, and the natural "order" of life.
NPR's fantastic YouTube channel Skunk Bear picks up this story and explains why these creatures are such a remarkable anomaly of nature!
The natural world never ceases to amaze me!
How many other remarkable organisms are out there that I know nothing about?
If you remain curious about this world, it is truly filled with endless wonder. Daily, we continue to broaden the realm of human knowledge and creativity. The more we know about the little things in this world and choose to celebrate them, the higher we raise "common knowledge" up.
Imagine how much better and more informed our collective decision making would be if we became life-long learners and instilled that desire in others.
From microorganisms to the ancient giants that once roamed this planet, the potential for learning and discovery is endless. Perhaps we should celebrate that a little more often.
So, remain curious, support curious people, and find other curious minds to celebrate with!
Stay beautiful & keep laughing!
Feed your curiosity!

ANTH 231: Native North American Cultures: Books
Anthologies vs. Monographs
Edited anthologies are book-length texts that include a set of essays or articles by a variety of authors. Monographs are a book-length text (not a collection of essays or articles). You can't always tell from the record in the catalog whether a book is an edited volume or not--you may need to actually look at the physical book or go into the ebook to figure it out. If a book is written by one or two authors, it is considered a monograph. If the book contains chapters or essays by a bunch of different authors, that is an anthology.

A new highly-sensitive cardiac scanner using magnetic field analysis will make earlier diagnosis of heart conditions possible.
The new portable magnetometer, developed from research in quantum physics, is being developed at the University of Leeds with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
The device's unique sensitivity to magnetic fluctuations enables it to detect a number of conditions, including heart problems in foetuses, earlier than currently available scanners.
The portable magnetometer will also be cheaper, smaller, simpler to operate and able to gather more information than other technologies. For the first time, nurses as well as doctors will be able to carry out heart scans. The device can be used through clothes, and can be taken to a patient's home.
"What we've been able to do is combine existing technology from the areas of atomic physics and medical physics in a completely unique way," said Professor Ben Varcoe, who is leading the research team.
The new magnetometer can reveal tiny variations in the heart's distinctive magnetic 'signature' that indicate a cardiac condition. The team is working to miniaturise the device, which could be ready for use in routine diagnosis within three years.
"Early detection of heart conditions improves the prospects for successful treatment. This system will also quickly identify people who need immediate treatment," said Professor Varcoe. "But our device won't just benefit patients - it will also help ease the strain on healthcare resources and hospital waiting lists."
The device is expected to be particularly effective in detecting ischaemic heart disease. It could also shorten surgical procedures to correct cardiac arrhythmia: scanning the heart with the new device during the operation would offer a much quicker way of pinpointing the node to be cauterised, reducing the time needed by 80%.


With the success of the Hilltree Blob, they became dominant flora in their range, however, they were fairly heavy, and some began shrinking because of this, while still trying to retain a large area of photosynthetic area, eventually resulting in the Shroomtree. As stated before, they are smaller than their ancestor, and much more common, sometimes forming forests in especially thick areas of ice. They have a structure resembling the cap of a terran mushroom at the top of their body, which functions to gather more sunlight. This 'cap' also has spots on it, most of which being fairly dark to absorb even more light, in combination with the wrinkles and groves. Their newborns are the same size as their ancestor's, and again, behave the same way as the Hillblob. Their eyes are now separate, though this feature is only useful for juveniles due to the wider range of vision it provides.

By running off a raised rail section and becoming airborne, the Rail Rescues could combine to form the Supertrain Megazord. As the Rail Rescues were large enough to house the Lightspeed Rescuezords, the Supertrain Megazord was substantially larger than the other Megazords. Rail Rescues 1 and 2 formed the arms, Rail Rescue 3 formed the thighs, head, and torso, and Rail Rescues 4 and 5 formed the legs. It had missiles and an Ion Turbine weapon at its disposal, known as its Gatling Blasters. At first almost twice as tall as its opponents, some later monsters were grown even larger to combat the Supertrain Megazord.
Unfortunately, due to the massive output needed to power the Zords in their Megazord form, the Supertrain often overcharged itself which resulted in the Rangers being injured from within the cockpit. During its initial battle, the Megazord nearly tore itself apart, overloading twice by using its weapons.
The Supertrain Megazord was badly damaged by Diabolico, but not destroyed. In the final battle against Super Demons Diabolico and Olympius, it's arm was dismantled due the heavy amounts of damage it took and therefore lost a massive amount of power and was rendered useless. It is not known whether it was repaired (although it was seen having it's remains loaded onto carrier trucks, but it is not known whether the remains were sent back to the Aquabase for long term repairs, or scrapped due to the Megazord being beyond repair).
Rail Rescues
The Rail Rescues are the secondary Zords, mainly functioning as carrier Zords, although they are the first to appear in the show. They consist of five train vehicles that can store the Rescuezords or Omegazords. When traveling through Mariner Bay, they combine to form one train in numerical order (1 is the first car and five is the last) and use the local train tracks for travel.
Each Rail Rescue was based off of a different type of train car.
 - Rail Rescue 1: A locomotive
 - Rail Rescue 2: A subway car
 - Rail Rescue 3: A freighter
 - Rail Rescue 4: A coach car
 - Rail Rescue 5: A bullet train locomotive
