increase number of consumers in mediasoup-demo
Hi,
I'm working on a Online class App. This is the scenario:
I have a teacher and 30 students.
I have changed Room.js of mediasoup-demo server and made it like this:
 1. Teacher can consume all student if he wants. (at the first when students connect they all silence).
 2. Teacher can produce.
 3. Students can consume teacher.
 4. Students can produce himself if teacher wants.(at the first when students connect they all silence).
 I have to mention that I do not want to have all student's video and audio. JUST one of them or two.
 It's working fine now, but I have a problem :frowning:
 Assume 3 students already joined. When the fourth student wants to connect, one of students loses teacher's video and audio immediately.
 How can I fix it?
 I mean, there is no limitation here? Maybe I made a mistake somewhere.
That's a bug in your code. No limitation here.

Thank you.
Yes that was my bad.
Another question. When 5 or 6 people are connected everything is OK and my send speed is about 1.5Mbs. But when it increases to more than 15 users my send speed goes down and reach to 200-300 Kbs. Why?
In addition I have to say all users's webcam and mic are disabled and when I need, I made them resume.
My server is Ubuntu and has 4CPU and 8G RAM.
Like the previous one I made mistake somewhere :slight_smile:?
You think something is wrong with my server's bandwidth? If I got this I can change my server. Please help me. Thank you.
I found that it was my network issue that sometimes it happens. But when internet got better my uplink never went back, at all. I have to refresh the page.
What should I have to do?
When the uplink drops down I disable and enable the webcam with this code:
await roomClient.disableWebcam();
await roomClient.enableWebcam();
and after that producer uplink gets better like when we started and the consumer's video gets a quick blink. I know I made a mistake somewhere in configuration and I have no idea.
Or there is a way to update "sendTransport.produce"?
I disabled Simulcast, everything is OK now and I'm so happy. :slight_smile:
Thank you for everything.
Hello, the script you created is a really good idea. Can you share these codes for my students too? We can also make improvements and share them with you. Thanks

Can Cats Eat Peanut Butter?
02/24/2021 by Stacy Painter
February 24th, 2021 by Stacy Painter
The quick answer: Technically yes, but it's best to avoid.
Though peanut butter isn't unsafe or toxic for cats, it is not beneficial to their diet and could (in rare cases) prove dangerous.
Benefits of peanut butter
Humans and dogs can benefit from the nut-based proteins and fats from peanut butter. All-natural peanut butter without any added sugar or other ingredients also contains magnesium, fiber, potassium, and vitamin E. Many dog parents know that an additional perk is to use peanut butter to disguise medications that are given orally.
That said, those same benefits do not translate to cats, unfortunately. A cat's diet is ideally comprised of mostly protein, which should come from animal sources. Cats' bodies do not process other types of food very well, such as plant-based proteins from peanut butter, because it does not contain all the amino acids that animal proteins do, according to an article by Chewy. In fact, peanut butter does not offer any nutritional value at all to cats.
Hazards of peanut butter for cats
Peanut butter contains many different types of fats, which can affect cats' small bodies quite a bit and lead to obesity or diabetes. Ingesting too much peanut butter can cause vomiting or diarrhea in some cats. Additionally, because of its sticky consistency, peanut butter could be a choking hazard. (Or, just a huge mess.)
Some peanut butter brands contain added sweeteners, xylitol which is toxic to cats, or other ingredients that could make your cat sick.
In many homes and residential neighborhoods, peanut butter is often used in pest catching devices and traps. Regularly sharing peanut butter with your cat may train him to enjoy it and seek it out. If your cat is trained to enjoy peanut butter, he might end up following the trace of one of these rodent traps and end up far from home and/or getting hurt. For this reason, it's best to avoid exposing your cat to peanut butter.

Russia's State Nuclear Energy Corporation – ROSATOM's sister concern Isotope has recently supplied Radionuclide curium-244 (Cm-244) to the Indian Physical Research Laboratory for their space program.
Cm-244 is a pure alpha-emitter that enables to determine chemical composition of any rocks and soils. The Isotope will be used in the Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) for analyzing the lunar surface under the Indian space program Chandrayaan-2. The launch of spacecraft is scheduled for 2018.
Earlier similar Russian Isotopes were used by USA for three NASA expeditions – Mars Pathfinder (1997), Opportunity (2004) and Curiosity (2012) to explore rock composition on Mars.
In 2014 world's first soft landing of the Rosetta spacecraft on Comet Churyumov- Gerasimenko took place. The lander equipped with Cm-244 of Russian origin, transmitted high-accuracy data about Comet's surface composition to Earth. At the global scale Cm-244 production is carried out only by two countries – Russia and the USA.
Development of the technologies for space research is one of the main goals of ROSATOM. For instance, Russian corporation plans to test a modern type of nuclear space engine by 2018.
Interest in space program has been growing among the emerging countries like Kenya, Nigeria and many others. Creative use of satellites may open a wide range of opportunities, from analyzing climate data to improve farming practices.

|A nurse is conducting a post-natal home visit in Gaza.|
By Catherine Weibel
GAZA, Occupied Palestinian Territory, 1 June 2012 – Every year, an estimated 1,600 babies die in the first four weeks of life in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Most of these newborns deaths could be prevented if mothers and newborns's health was systematically evaluated, and if young mothers received advice on how to best care for their children.
To improve newborn survival, UNICEF has revitalized a post-natal home-visit programme for new mothers and infants in the Gaza Strip. Last year, nearly 5,000 home visits were supported, reaching more than 3,000 high-risk pregnant women in Gaza with technical and financial support from UNICEF.
Problems facing young mothers
"The idea is to visit mothers during the first crucial days of their babies' lives, to provide a safety net for mothers and newborns at risk," said Sawsan Hamad, the Director of the Mother's Health Department at the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Post-natal home visits are conducted by nurses and midwives who visit each mother three times, with the first visit taking place immediately after birth. During the visits, they promote and support exclusive breastfeeding, detect any health problems in either the mother and newborn, give advice about safe infant care, increase awareness about the benefits of spacing pregnancies, and promote immunization of the newborns.
In Gaza, many women marry at a young age and bear children shortly thereafter, despite the harmful health effects of teenage pregnancies. Following home visits, more than a third of the Gaza mothers were found to be anemic. Ten per cent of mothers, and 2 per cent of newborns, were referred to a health center for further follow up.

|Last year, more than 3,000 high risk pregnant women in Gaza were visited at home in the first crucial days of their babies' lives.|
Another problem is short birth spacing; according to the 2006 Palestinian Family Health Survey, more than a quarter of Palestinian women give birth at intervals shorter than 18 months, and among women between ages 15 and 19, this number was more than a third. During home visits, half of the women said their pregnancies were unwanted and resulted from a missed opportunity for birth spacing. The nurses and midwives visiting the mothers at home provided counseling about appropriate birth spacing methodologies.
Eager for advice
Icelandic nurse Margret Hafsteinsdottir, a UNICEF technical advisor, participated in many post-natal home visits to see how the programme could be strengthened. All the mothers she met were eager for advice, no matter how many children they already had.
"I remember a 38-year-old mother who had just given birth to her 14th child. She and her 15-year-old daughter were pregnant simultaneously, and consulted together at the clinic," Hafsteinsdottir said. "The mother told me she wanted all her children to marry young, to move out of the family house and start having children immediately because this is what she did, and because it is a practical way of making room for the younger children in her crowded house." During the visit, the mother told Hafsteinsdottir that 14 children were more than enough, and that she would get sterilized.
Post-natal visits are especially crucial for teenage and first-time mothers. "I remember a very unsecure teenager who was discharged from the hospital only one hour after the delivery, because the maternity ward was too crowded, and who did not receive any education on breastfeeding," Hafsteinsdottir said. The girl, who did not know how to breastfeed, ended up bottlefeeding her newborn formula.
But the post-natal home visit programme also showed that three-quarter of the mothers exclusively breastfed their baby. The programme is helping to encourage this practice.
"One mother, who was giving up on breastfeeding her twins because she didn't realize she could breastfeed them both at the same time, changed her mind after our visit," Hafsteinsdottir recalled. "Just a little support makes all the difference."

India Public Holidays
Discover upcoming public holiday dates for India and start planning to make the most of your time off. Scroll down to select a year or choose your state.
Choose your state or territory
The Republic of India has the second largest population in the world. Due to the sizes of the country and its diverse population, India only has three national holidays – Republic Day, Independence Day and Mahatma Ghandi's Birthday.
However, the government of India has granted each of its states and territories the right to choose holidays based on their religious beliefs, culture, linguistic preferences, or events that are relative to their area – and at a state level there are many more bank holidays recognised and celebrated.
The Labour Laws of India requires that employers provide employees with a paid day off for the three national holidays. If the employee must work, they must be given a paid day off in lieu for the holiday or paid a premium rate for all hours worked on that holiday. Laws regarding holiday pay and time off for state holidays are subjected to the laws in those territories. Holiday pay for state holidays may also be impacted by individual employment contracts.

Can Florida pompano larvae be raised at low salinities?
A study aimed to determine the optimal salinity required to culture fingerlings from hatch to weaning under on-farm conditions.
The Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), a fish species that can live in waters of a wide range of salinity, is a prime candidate for aquaculture commercial fish production in the United States. There are less than ten aquaculture farms across the U.S. that have been successful in commercially raising and distributing Florida pompano. Many farms import their broodstock from countries such as Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Brazil. When attempting to rear Florida pompano from hatch to market, farms face a variety of challenges including access to seawater. On inland farms, seawater must be mixed on-site using artificial sea salt products, which can contribute to high production costs and lower profit returns.
While several studies have investigated using juvenile Florida pompano in low salinity, no low salinity experiments have been conducted on Florida pompano larvae. To address the knowledge gaps of the impact of low salinity on Florida pompano larval health, researchers from Florida Atlantic University's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, in collaboration with two local fish farms, Live Advantage Baits and Proaquatix, conducted a novel experiment that serves as a model study for future on-farm collaborations and helps build a bridge between scientists and farmers in aquaculture.
The objective of the study was to determine the optimal salinity required to culture fingerlings from hatch to weaning under on-farm conditions. Low salinity conditions can affect the early development of the Florida pompano by increasing osmoregulatory stress, which reduces the availability of metabolic energy reserves, otherwise needed for developmental processes such as cellular formation.
For the study, Florida pompano larvae were reared in three different salinities: 10, 20 and 30 parts per thousand (ppt) at local producers' farms. Growth, fatty acid profiles and transcriptome responses (cellular formation) were quantified every three days after hatching (three, six, nine, 12, 15, 18 and 24 days post-hatch) and results were compared across salinities.
Results showed that larvae reared at 10 ppt grew at a normal rate and the developmental stage had a greater impact than salinity on fatty acid composition and larval gene expression.
"We have shown that it is possible to grow this warm water marine species in salinities as low as 10 parts per thousand, which makes it more economic and easier for producers far from the coast to attempt Florida pompano commercial growth," said Sahar Mejri, senior author and an assistant research professor, Department of Aquaculture and Stock Enhancement at FAU Harbor Branch. "We expect to run this study for a longer period to investigate the long-term effects of low salinity on larval health and development."
An important metric for determining the health and viability of Florida pompano as a commercial food species is the lipid profile of the larvae. "Larvae reared at the lowest salinity, 10 parts per thousand, seemed healthy and showed normal growth and physiological development overall with no adverse effects," said Mejri. "Larval diets combined with developmental stages had a greater impact than salinity on fatty acid composition and transcriptomics gene expression."

text: The kinetics of the isomerization of butenes over the Bi2O3-MoO3 (koechlinite) catalyst were investigated in recirculation and in pulse expts. At 150-250 Deg, isomerization prevails over the oxidn. to butadiene. In the recirculation expts., isomerization proved strongly inhibited by butadiene, and the apparent activation energies for isomerization were high (17-19 kcal mole-1). In the pulse expts. where diene inhibition is nonoperative, low activation energies (2-4 kcal mole-1) for isomerization were obsd. Isomerization and oxidn. occur on similar combination of the B and A centers as postulated by Matsuura. This was confirmed by the action of NH3 in a temp. range where isomerization and oxidn. are of comparable rate. Both reactions proved to be strongly inhibited.

text: The influences of low-dielectric interfacial layers on the dielectric properties of Pt/(Ba,Sr)TiO3/Pt capacitors were investigated before and after postannealing. The interfacial layer is believed to be the intrinsic dead layer (low-dielectric layer) due to the termination of chemical bonds of the (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) material at the interfaces. The dielectric constant of the capacitor decreases with decreasing BST film thickness owing to the low dielectric constant of the dead layer. The dead-layer capacitance varies with processes such as film deposition temperature, and postannealing. Higher deposition temperatures result in a larger dead-layer capacitance and a higher bulk dielectric constant. Although annealing under a N2 atmosphere is less effective in reducing the dead-layer effect than under an O2 atmosphere, it is more effective in increasing the bulk dielectric constant. Therefore, a N2, rather than an O2 atmosphere, results in a larger increase in the overall dielectric constant. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.


ברוכים הבאים לתיעוד של AndroidAPS
Components
AndroidAPS is an open source app for people living with insulin-dependent diabetes that acts as an artificial pancreas system (APS) on Google Android smartphones. The main components are different openAPS software algorithms which aim to do what a living pancreas does: keeping blood sugar levels within healthy limits by using automated insulin dosing (AID). Additionally, you need at least a supported and FDA/CE approved insulin pump and continuous glucose meter.
The app does NOT use self-learning artificial intelligence. Instead, the calculations of AndroidAPS are based on the individual dosage algorithm and carbohydrate intake the user manually puts into their treatments profile, but they are verified by the system for safety reasons.
The app is not provided in Google Play - you have to build it from source code by yourself for legal reasons.
How to read the documentation?
We have provided this subsection of the documentation especially for those who are new to concept of Do-It-Yourself-APS (Artificial-Pancreas-Systems) in order to best show how to get acquainted with the information we consider to be the most important, especially in terms of understanding the reasons behind the "limits" set in place when you are first beginning your AAPS journey. These safety limits have been developed over many years by observations of the inadvertent mistakes that new users are most likely to make when first learning to set up, build, and then successfully loop with AndroidAPS - as most often those mistakes occur simply because the user was so excited to get started using the system that they may have forgotten to sit down and dedicate the time needed to understand the information within this documentation thoroughly. We have all been there!
Certainly the approach, "read everything" has merit and is certainly true. However, it is not uncommon for newcomers to quickly become overwhelmed by the sheer volume and variety of new information that they are expected to understand all at once! So these next few subsections are meant to lay out the most important foundations of the knowledge necessary to successfully run your own chosen setup with as few hiccups as is possible. New users can refer back to this guide when they run into aspects of the system they are not yet familiar with; and to remind themselves where to go within the Documentation in order to locate more in-depth information, as needed. It is also important to lay out the capabilities of AndroidAPS in an up-front manner, as sometimes it can be disappointing to discover in the middle of reading the documentation that certain necessary tools are currently not available for use (due to constraints on which types of insulin pumps or CGMs are available in some countries vs. other countries etc.) or simply offers less/different functionality than first assumed. Finally, it is important to acknowledge that many experience-related aspects inside this documentation only become pertinent as you begin to use AAPS in real-time. Just as it is nearly impossible to learn to play a sport perfectly just by reading about the rules, it takes a combination of first learning the foundations of the rules for safely operating AAPS and then committing the time learning how best to apply those rules as you navigate through the steps of looping with AndroidAPS.
The Getting started subsection is a must read to understand the general concept of what an artificial pancreas system is designed to do; and is especially pertinent for users of AndroidAPS.
The subsection What do I need? specifies the CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) and insulin pumps which are are available for use with AndroidAPS. This subsection is important to understand so that your AndroidAPS system can be assembled and built correctly the first time around and will function well in real world situations.
The subsection Where to go for help? should help direct you to the best places to go to find help depending upon your levels of experience with AAPS. This is very important so that you don't feel left out, especially at the beginning, and so that you can get in touch with others as quickly as possible, clarify questions and solve the usual pitfalls as quickly as possible. Experience shows that a lot of people are already using AndroidAPS successfully, but everyone has a question at some point that they couldn't solve on their own. The nice thing is, however, that due to the large number of users, the response times to questions are usually very quick, typically only a few hours. Don't worry about requesting help, as there is no such thing as a dumb question! We encourage users of any/all levels of experience to ask as many questions as they feel is necessary to help get them up and running safely. Just try it out please.
In the subsection Glossary we have compiled a list of the acronyms (or short-term names) used throughout AAPS. For example, where to go to find out what the terms ISF or TT, stand for in in the more common (longer) terms.
For parents who want to build AndroidAPS for their children, we recommend the subsection AndroidAPS for children , as there you will find more advanced information specifically tailored for learning the extra steps necessary in order to remotely control your child's AndroidAPS app as well as a more comprehensive safety profile as compared to adults. You need to be able to support your children and understand the all the advanced concepts that AndroidAPS offers to help you succeed.
Now that you have a solid understanding of the concepts that AndroidAPS uses, know where to go for the the necessary tools to build your APS and are familiar with where to get help in case of an emergency, it is the right time to start building the app! The subsection How to install AndroidAPS? shows you this in detail. Since the requirements are very different from anything you might have set up in the past, we recommend that you really follow the instructions, step-by-step the first few times you build the app, so that you have a stronger sense of how the app building process is supposed to behave when all directions are followed exactly. Please remember to take your time. Later this will go very quickly when you build the app again for a new version. That way you will have a greater chance of noticing when something doesn't going as planned before too many steps are out of line. It is important to save the your keystore file (.jks file used to sign your app) in a safe place, so that you can always use that exact same keystore file and password each and every time you are asked to create a new updated version of AndroidAPS, as this file is what makes sure that each new version of the app "remembers" all the information that you have provided to it in previous versions of the app and thus ensure that the updates will go as smoothly as possible. On average, you can assume that there will be one new version and 2-3 required updates per year. This number is based on experience and may change in the future. But we do want to at least give you a general guideline on what to expect. When you are more experienced at building updated AndroidAPS app versions all the steps that are required in building an updated app will only take 15-30 minutes, on average. However, in the beginning there can be a rather steep learning curve as these steps are not always considered intuitive by new users! So do not get frustrated if you find that it takes half a day or a whole day with some help from the community before you are finally finished with the update process. If you find that you are getting very frustrated just take a short break, and oftentimes; after a stroll around the block or two…you'll find that you are better able to approach the problem again. We have also compiled a list of questions and answers to most of the typical errors that are likely to occur the first few updates located within the FAQs section; as well as within "How to install AndroidAPS?" that provides additional information in the subsection "Troubleshooting".
The subsection Component Setup explains how to properly integrate each of the various different separate component parts into AndroidAPS, as well as how to set them up to work as seamlessly as possible together. All components are listed under the separate sections: CGM/FGM, xDrip Settings, Pumps, Phones, Nightscout setup, and Smartwatches. The sensor (BG) values and control of the insulin pump are particularly important information to understand. The subsection Configuration describes the best pump configurations to use in AndroidAPS.
This is followed by a particularly important subsection AndroidAPS Usage, in which you are slowly introduced to the full usage of what AndroidAPS has to offer via a safe and carefully calibrated step-by-step gradual process designed to make sure that you/your child are thoroughly familiar and comfortable navigating all the different levels and menu configurations before graduating on the next phase, each commonly referred to as the next Objective, until you are have enough experience to begin using the more advanced options available within the app. These Objectives are specially designed in such a way that will gradually unlock more possibilities of AndroidAPS and switch from Open Loop to Closed Loop.
After that there is a subsection General Hints with e.g. information on how to deal with the crossing of time zones as well as knowing what to do during the Spring Forward - Fall Back daylight saving time changes which will occur twice a year while using AndroidAPS.
There is a subsection for the clinicians who have expressed interest in open source artificial pancreas technology such as AndroidAPS, or for patients who want

Protein from meat or vegetable sources in meals matched for fiber content has similar effects on subjective appetite sensations and energy intake - A randomized acute cross-over meal test study
Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelForskningfagfællebedømt
Dokumenter
Higher-protein meals decrease hunger and increase satiety compared to lower-protein meals. However, no consensus exists about the different effects of animal and vegetable proteins on appetite. We investigated how a meal based on vegetable protein (fava beans/split peas) affected ad libitum energy intake and appetite sensations, compared to macronutrient-balanced, iso-caloric meals based on animal protein (veal/pork or eggs). Thirty-five healthy men were enrolled in this acute cross-over study. On each test day, participants were presented with one of four test meals (~3550 kilojoules (kJ) 19% of energy from protein), based on fava beans/split peas (28.5 g fiber), pork/veal or eggs supplemented with pea fiber to control for fiber content (28.5 g fiber), or eggs without supplementation of fiber (6.0 g fiber). Subjective appetite sensations were recorded at baseline and every half hour until the ad libitum meal three hours later. There were no differences in ad libitum energy intake across test meals (p > 0.05). Further, no differences were found across meals for hunger, satiety, fullness, prospective food consumption, or composite appetite score (all p > 0.05). Iso-caloric, macronutrient-balanced, fiber-matched meals based on vegetable protein (fava beans/split peas) or animal protein (veal/pork or eggs) had similar effects on ad libitum energy intake and appetite sensations.

Recently as some of us were getting ready to take a walk through the snow, somebody said to me "you're wearing sensible shoes". Now my shoes haven't developed cognitive abilities so far as I know (and I spend enough time with them that I think I would notice), but everyone there knew what this means. It's a common phrase in my experience, but it got me wondering. The adjective sensible here, while syntactically bound to the noun shoes, really applies to another noun in the sentence instead. Is there a term for this sort of modifier migration, or is this sentence technically ungrammatical?
I checked for alternate or obscure meanings of sensible but found none, and a Google search on the phrase turned up uses but no explanations. I also don't think this construct is limited to this particular phrase, but I don't have any more clever ideas.

What do you mean when you say "The adjective sensible here, while syntactically bound to the noun shoes, really applies to another noun in the sentence instead"? What is the other noun? – Irene Feb 12 '12 at 20:34
_USER_, the other noun is "you" -- the speaker is saying that I was sensible for choosing those shoes, not that my shoes of their own volition made some sensible decision. – Monica Cellio Feb 12 '12 at 20:40
No, I don't think that applies. I agree with _USER_ Loy's answer. I saw his link, it gives a sound explanation of a further meaning of the word sensible (which, curiously enough, isn't included in other dictionaries I've checked). – Irene Feb 12 '12 at 20:42
A parallel that occurs to me is this sentence. "Bacon is not a very sensible thing to have for breakfast if your cholesterol is high". My bacon is about as cognitive as your shoes. – user16269 Feb 13 '12 at 10:14
Clearly the reason we describe your shoes as sensible is that they're able to be sensed. – Nathan Long Feb 13 '12 at 14:35

An adjective modifying the "wrong" word in a sentence is known as a transferred epithet. This can be used for poetic or humourous effect, or, as in this case, the epithet may have become so strongly associated with the noun that it has no particular literary effect on the listener.
A simple example is "I spent a sleepless night" (it is I who was sleepless, not the night). My English teacher was rather fond of "a schoolboy once again in shivering shorts" from John Betjeman's Original Sin on the Sussex Coast. Of course, the schoolboy is shivering, not his shorts.
Wikipedia has a brief entry on the more general hypallage. I have rarely heard this term used in reference to English grammar or literature.
As noted by other answerers sensible shoes in particular has jumped the chasm from literary device to creating an alternative accepted meaning of sensible. Another example of such a jump is curious, as in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Thank you! I see from the other answers here that I chose a poor example, but it is the construct, not "sensible" in particular, that I was asking about. "Sleepless night" is a great example of this. – Monica Cellio Feb 13 '12 at 1:06
+1 Hypallage sounds common to me as a term used in classics. – Cerberus Feb 13 '12 at 2:32
+1 Everyone knows why but not everyone can explain it so well. – Kris Feb 13 '12 at 14:10

The OALD lists sensible to mean useful rather than fashionable when referring to things like clothes. The CALD also lists sensible to mean practical rather than being attractive.
share|improve this answer
Thanks; I hadn't seen that definition formalized anywhere before. – Monica Cellio Feb 12 '12 at 20:57
My local dictionary offers a similar definition: "sensible - (of an object) practical and functional rather than decorative." – MrHen Feb 12 '12 at 22:00
+1 An entirely plausible alternative. And undeniably right. – Kris Feb 13 '12 at 14:11
Of course sensible has a meaning "Characterized more by usefulness or practicality than by fashionableness, especially of clothing". Etymonline says, regarding sensible:
But note that terms like "sensible walking shoes" were in use already in the 1820's:
...oot wi' such daft-like things in such weather; they're liker dancin' schule pumps than sensible walkin' shoes. (The Inheritance, Susan Ferrier, 1825)
There's a very slight possibility that the term sensible shoes may have some relation to horseshoeing. Beginning in the early 1800's, sensible frequently appears in agricultural publications about horseshoes:
...with common shoes there is no pressure tracts,... The artificial frog, which is intended to the sensible frog, without any respite, must receive cover... (The Complete Farmer, 1807) has some defects in common with other shoes. It is attached with nails, and these nails may pinch the sensible parts within... (Quarterly Journal of Agriculture, 1831)

Surely sensible in your last quotation means sensitive. The word has many meanings, but most aren't relevant here. – TimLymington Feb 12 '12 at 21:26
I don't think it's an unusual construction at all: would you think a clever idea had out-thought the originator, or a stupid joke likely to be teased by the other figures of speech? Quite a few adjectives can be applied either to the originator or the result: whether it's "the same meaning" may depend on your definitions.
share|improve this answer
"Clever idea" was an intentional choice in my question. :-) Does this kind of construction have a name? – Monica Cellio Feb 12 '12 at 20:55
Oops, didn't see that :( It might be a transferred meaning, but I don't see how you determine which was the original. – TimLymington Feb 12 '12 at 21:23
It's not the shoes that are sensible.
Rather, "You have made a sensible choice in electing to wear this particular pair of shoes on this given occasion."
Your interlocutor simply cuts to the chase and states:
"You're wearing sensible shoes."
But the above meaning is implied. Humans are like that. They rely on a high degree of context to communicate meaning.
share|improve this answer
Right, that's my point -- "sensible" applies to me, not to the shoes, but semantically the shortened sentence is problematic. I'm wondering if there is a language construct/rule that covers this, or if it's a case of "we all know what it means so it's ok". – Monica Cellio Feb 12 '12 at 20:55
"We all know what it means" is the basis of all communication. Meaning, we can't productively abstract this or any other utterance from its context. So, I think it a futile endeavor to attempt to reconstruct or interpret meaning independent of context. That, in my opinion, is simple a red herring. – Jack Robbin Feb 12 '12 at 21:02
_USER_: Based on my own dictionary and answers other than this one, the shoes are sensible. They are sensible shoes. Sensible just has an additional meaning when applied to objects. – MrHen Feb 12 '12 at 22:02
I don't doubt that sensible could have an additional meaning that applies to objects. However, I think it sensible to assume that in the first instance this meaning is applied to people and then extended to objects that relate to people. That is to say, the object is as sensible as it is in relation to a valuation made by people. – Jack Robbin Feb 13 '12 at 6:01
In other words, high-heels at the beach would not be sensible, but flip-flops would. – Jack Robbin Feb 13 '12 at 6:10

Here's How To Pick The Right Temperature For Your Refrigerator
It's happened to all of us: you open the refrigerator and pull out the milk only to find it's half frozen, so you turn up the temperature a little. Solved! Except when you open the door the next day, you find your leftover chicken isn't as chilly as you'd like it to be for safety's sake. This up-and-down game we play with our fridges isn't only frustrating, it can waste food. So what's the ideal temperature for your fridge? Unlike many things that occur in your kitchen like cooking or baking — which leave room for creativity and experimentation — this is actually an exact science.
To keep your food fresh and safe, your refrigerator should always be kept between 35 and 38 degrees fahrenheit. But if your fridge is like ours, there isn't actually a thermometer inside; there's just a knob to turn toward "colder" or "less cold." And even if you do have a temperature gauge inside, they are famously inaccurate and often off by a few degrees. So how do you check to make sure your fridge is being kept at the right temperature? You can actually buy an appliance thermometer at most home stores or online. Once you have one, all you have to do is set it up inside your fridge and let it sit for twenty minutes. Then check the temperature and adjust accordingly (via Real Simple). Now, to keep your fridge at the right temperature, there are a few tricks you can follow.
Tips to keep your fridge cool
First, pull your fridge a few inches away from the wall and leave it there. This prevents the coils and other machinery in the fridge from insulating themselves against the wall and keeping heat in. Basically, you're letting it breathe and cool off. Next, while you have the fridge pulled away from the wall, you could clean out the coils. If your fridge is older, the coils will be near the back; if it's a newer appliance, they'll be across the front on the bottom, behind a grille. Use a vacuum to remove dust, dirt, and build up. Another simple tip? Keep the fridge closed! Try to resist standing in front of the open door, deciding what to snack on. Instead, open and shut the door as efficiently as possible (via kitchn).
What you put in your fridge can greatly affect temperature and efficiency, too. Let warm food cool off before you put it the fridge to preserve it. This makes a big difference; not only will it prevent the fridge from rising in temperature, but it will conserve energy by not forcing the fridge to cool itself down again. Also, a full fridge actually works best; even if you don't have a ton of food, you can fill pitchers of water and place them inside. Not only will this help your fridge regulate its temperature most efficiently, but you'll always have fresh, cool water to drink (via kitchn).

I traveled to Rio de Janeiro to gather insights about the cultural and art life in the city. Through qualitative research methods it became evident that Rio is a fragmented city - communities are isolated from each other, culturally, economically, and physically. Furthermore, cultural producers lack communication and networking channels. Despite these challenges, we identified that festive events can bring together diverse neighborhoods.
The collaboration between two teams, one in NYC and one in Rio de Janeiro, allowed us to develop a strategy based on local information and global trends. Our goal was to design a service that would allow Rio's residents to learn about communities in their city through a fun and engaging way. Barulho Labs became a co-creation platform that enabled the design of festive events to promote cultural networks.
Through prototyping we learned that one of the main assets of the proposed strategy was to bring together artists and producers to collaborate and seek economic opportunities as well as to promote peer to peer interaction to increase assistance and participation to the festive events. We are currently refining the idea by further prototyping and engaging local partners.

master naturalist for teachers
The Teacher's Master Naturalist program incorporates best practices for systemic school reform - it requires that the school's principal initiate the partnership, and that each school send a team of lead teachers who are responsible for implementing their school's science and math programs. LCI adapted its Master Naturalist curriculum to provide a program that teaches teachers how to use experiential learning most effectively to improve their school's science and math programs. Participants engage in research and educational experiences designed to empower them to teach from a first person perspective, sharing their personal adventures with their classes.
During workshops, teachers set and check traps for fish, reptiles, and amphibians, conduct flora and fauna surveys, and collect and identify marine invertebrates and other organisms. As teams of teachers graduate from the course they continue to receive support for school-based projects from LCI staff and the local Master Naturalist association. The program began in 2007-2008 with two pilot schools, and has expanded to eight schools during the 2009-2010 school year. Teachers receive Master Naturalist certification and continuing education credit after completing the year-long program.
learning expeditions schools
The goal of the Learning Expeditions Schools program is to use environmental science as a theme to integrate learning about science, social studies, math, and language arts. The program is a partnership between the LowCountry Institute, Clemson University's Youth Learning Institute, and Beaufort County Schools. The interdisciplinary lessons include field trips, virtual field trips using video and PowerPoint programs, and hands-on activities in the classroom. These lessons use science standards to teach students how geography and climate determine plant communities present which, in turn, influence the economy and the history of the region. Math is integrated into all lessons through science and history-based word problems.
Pilot schools for this program are Shell Point Elementary, Shanklin Elementary, and Robert Smalls Middle School. During the 2012-2013 school year, the program will be made available to other district schools that wish to participate.
- Grants: Several schools have been recipients of grants from LCI to create outdoor classrooms and natural areas using native plants to teach students about pollination, plant lifecycles, and native habitats.
- Hands-on programs: LCI staff and volunteers conduct programs at schools to teach students about the plants and animals native to the Port Royal Sound System.
- School field trips: LCI is able to invite a limited number of schools each year to participate in field trips on Spring Island where students learn about habitats and animals of the lowcountry.

Hornsby Shire Council has acquired a valuable memento of Brooklyn's significant role in shaping our nation – an original Australian five pound note that features a picture of the village.
The first Australian five pound note was issued in 1913 and showed Brooklyn from the hillside above the Sanatorium Hotel, looking out over the inlet to Kangaroo Point.
"It was a fitting tribute to a community that helped create one of the major foundation stones of our nation," Hornsby Shire Mayor Steve Russell said.
"When Sir Henry Parkes attended the opening of the Hawkesbury River Railway Bridge in 1889, he saw it as a symbol that Australia was ready to become a nation and gave one of his most notable federation speeches."
According to Sir Henry Parkes, the bridge was nationally significant because it made it possible to travel from Brisbane to Melbourne and Adelaide by train.
"We have formed communication by railway which may be said to bind the whole population of Australia in one chain," he said at the opening.
At the time the note was issued five pounds represented more than the average weekly wage of a man and more than double the weekly wage of a woman.
Today the note is worth more than $2000 and will be proudly displayed within Hornsby Shire Council Chambers.

Emergent Disposition (2015)
Derek Fordjour engages with the layers of political, social, and cultural experiences of African Americans within the present moment through his meticulously textured paintings of individuals in various public settings. In many of his paintings, the artist investigates the vulnerability of the human body, by portraying figures such as athletes or performers who are always under the scrutiny of the public gaze.
Emergent Disposition considers many of the similar themes along with adjacent paintings such as Davenport's Conclusion and Perspectile Adjustment Regiment. Although the neutral expressions of the athlete still repeat within this painting as well, the artist brings attention to the tank top on which he collaged a newspaper article depicting two Black men wrestling against each other. The painting is thus transformed into a statement about the ways in which images of Black masculinity are categorized and circulated within various forms of news media, bringing into relief the oftentimes problematic connotation of athleticism attributed to men of African descent.

Pile Buck's Top Recommended Barge Suppliers
The barge is a simple, robust type of vessel that is used to transport everything from timber piles to heavy equipment. It's long, rectangular shape and flat bottom are meant to make the most efficient use of space for cargo. Most barges are pulled by tugboats, but there are some that move by their own power.
A barge is classified based on how it is being used and how much weight it can hold. How the barge is designed is based in part on the type of water it will travel upon. For example, a barge meant to travel through narrow, inland waterways will be smaller than those built for seaports.
The United States has about 25,000 miles of navigable waterways. Unfortunately, they are not used anywhere near their capacity. The 3,000 mile Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) that runs from Boston to Florida could relieve a lot of truck traffic from our highways. In fact, barge transport costs considerably less than other ways of moving goods.
A 2017 study by the Center for Ports and Waterways at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute show that barge transport is far more fuel efficient than truck transport. A truck can move a ton of cargo 145 miles on a single gallon of fuel. A barge can move that same ton 647 miles on a gallon of fuel. That same study showed that major spills happen far more often with cargo transported by truck and rail – making barge transport of toxic materials safer.
Inland Barge Design
Barge Carrying Pilings
Types of Barges
There are many types of barges, including:
An inland barge is designed for use on small bodies of water. They provide a cost-effective alternative to truck and rail cargo transportation – particularly for oversized items. One barge can carry as much dry cargo freight as 17 semi-tractor trailers. That single barge can carry as much liquid cargo as 144 semi-tractor trailers.
Inland Barge Rig
An inland barge rig is constructed for offshore drilling. Drilling equipment is constructed atop the barge. The barge can then be moved from location to location wherever needed. The barge rig can be anchored in place or actually submerged underwater. An inland barge rig is used to drill wells in areas where the water is not too deep – such as a marsh. In fact, it is also known as a "swamp barge."
A deck barge has a platform used to carry everything from horses and cattle to construction equipment and materials. They are sometimes used to provide extra space for workers and equipment along the waterways.
A crane – or spud – barge has a squared-off stern that can handle the weight of a crane. Additional support to keep the barge stable in heavy winds and active water is found in the bulkhead as well as the deck frame construction. Crane mats are used for traction. These floating cranes are used for offshore construction. They are also used to lift heavy materials while docked.
A hopper barge is used for the transport of sugar, grains, ore and other commodities. They have double-hull construction. Some commodities – like sugar – need protection from bad weather. So the hopper barge will be covered. Otherwise, it will be open.
Split Hopper Barge
A split hopper barge is used for dredging and filling. The dredged material is placed in the split hopper barge. The material is transported to where the fill is needed. The hull splits opened to drop the dredged material in place. The hull is closed via a hydraulic system.
A shale barge is similar to a deck barge, with added hoppers for cargo. Shale barges are used to transport cargo from oil and gas drilling sites. This type of barge is regulated by the US Coast Guard to ensure strict environmental compliance.
Liquid Mud Barge
A liquid mud barge is used to dispose of fluid material from inland oil drilling sites. They have storage bin tanks and pumps on board circulate the fluid material. Sometimes liquid mud barges are used for extra storage at a land-based facility.
Liquid Cargo Barge
A liquid cargo barge transports various types of liquid materials – such as gas, diesel, and asphalt. They are built to handle hazardous materials like benzene and methanol.
Where ships are too large to tread, they send an ocean barge. Like other barges they can navigate through shallow waters. However, they are built to handle harsh ocean conditions. This makes them heavier and more expensive than other types of barges. The additional weight of an ocean barge makes it more difficult to tow.
General Electric developed the power barge during World War II. This enabled power generation to be transported where needed. There are not as many in use today, but there are still some of these mobile power plant barges in operation around the world.

PILE BUCK'S TOP RECOMMENDED BARGE SUPPLIERS
McDonough Marine Service, a leading company of deck cargo barges, has a large and varied fleet of flat deck barges available for charter. These barges are designed to carry cargo on deck and differ in size and structural design, depending on their intended use. Deck cargo barges include pipe, piling, fabricated structures, equipment, rock, palletized material, or even horses, cattle, and rocket boosters. In some instances, certain liquid cargos may be carried in the interior watertight compartments. Deck barges are also used as work platforms for workers and machinery, thereby serving as an extension of the land. Some of these barges may have raised rake decks. Please contact us for more information on the capacity, load marks, and deadweight of our flat deck barges.

Abstract
Atomic spin structures assembled by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) provide valuable insight into the understanding of atomic-scale magnetism. Among the major challenges are the detection and subsequent read-out of ultrafast spin dynamics due to a dichotomy in travel speed of these dynamics and the probe tip. Here, we present a device composed of individual Fe atoms that allows for remote detection of spin dynamics. We have characterized the device and used it to detect the presence of spin waves originating from an excitation induced by the STM tip several nanometres away; this may be extended to much longer distances. The device contains a memory element that can be consulted seconds after detection, similar in functionality to e.g. a single photon detector. We performed statistical analysis of the responsiveness to remote spin excitations and corroborated the results using basic calculations of the free evolution of coupled quantum spins.

The New York State Canal Corporation has announced the start of dredging of the City of Utica Harbor and the re-opening of the refurbished Utica Harbor Lock. The recently completed rehabilitation of the lock by the Canal Corporation will allow dredging to occur for the first time in 30 years. The dredging will allow use of the harbor for future recreational, tourism and economic development opportunities.
Utica's location on the Erie Canal middle section (the first to open in 1820) stimulated its industrial development. The Chenango Canal, connecting Utica and Binghamton, opened in 1836, and provided a further stimulus for economic development by providing water transportation of coal from Northeast Pennsylvania. With the opening of the Canal, Utica's population increased threefold over a span of ten years. By the late 19th century, Utica had become a transportation hub and a commercial center but was somewhat limited in its industrial capacity due to low water power on the Mohawk River.
The New York State Canal Corporation is a subsidiary of the New York State Thruway Authority. In 1992 State legislation transferred the Canal System from the New York State Department of Transportation to the Thruway Authority. Canal operating and maintenance activities are supported by Thruway toll revenues.

Sandal Castle is a ruin near the town of Wakefield in West Yorkshire and overlooks the River Calder. It is near to the site where the Battle of Wakefield is said to have taken place in 1460, which resulted in the death of Richard, Duke of York.
The Castle was first constructed by the Normans, and its first occupants were the de Warrens.
In 2003, Sandal Castle was given a wooden walkway, to allow people to walk to its summit without causing erosion. This was intended as a measure to stop people permanently damaging the ruins. However, there has been a strong outcry from those who feel that the walkway has corrupted the historical environment provided by the castle.
There is a visitor centre about 100 metres from the castle proper.

Various auxins induced an increase of ethylene production by potato discs (Solarium tuberosum L. cv. Red Pontiac). 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at 10 μM was the most effective in stimulating ethylene (C2H4) production. Napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) also stimulated ethylene production with optimal concentrations of 50 μM and 100 μM, respectively. The periderm of the tuber was found to produce the highest levels of C2H4 with sections taken toward the center of the tuber producing much lower levels. In this system, it was shown that pH 4.0 was the optimum pH tested and methionine was required.

A unique and essential item of rainforest life was an elegantly constructed, crescent-shaped, woven basket. These beautifully crafted baskets were made from lengths of split lawyer cane, a prolific climbing plant found throughout the rainforest. The lawyer cane was not collected until needed because the basket-maker had to complete the task within five days—after this time the cane could no longer be made pliable by soaking. The distinct crescent shape of the basket was formed by stringing the ends of the split lawyer cane like a bow and attaching it by top-stitching to the inner surface. Two handles, one small, one long, were fitted to the mouth and held there by tightly woven thin strips of split lawyer cane.
Undecorated crescent-shaped baskets were used to gather and leach foods. … In flood times women caught large quantities of small fish with these baskets. Very large baskets were used to ferry goods—and also children—across rivers. Crescent-shaped bark baskets were also made for carrying honey or water.
Painted baskets were used by men for various purposes: to carry ritual objects, for trading purposes, or as a gift to a friend.
(Kate Khan, 'Adornments and design in north Queensland: A view from the nineteenth century' in Oxford Companion to Aboriginal Art and Culture, 2000, p.181)
This basket was purchased for the national collection in 1998, having been acquired by the vendor c.1988 from an opportunity shop. The vendor related to Gallery curators how the basket was put to use in their kitchen to hold fruit such as oranges. The vendor also described how the remaining ochres were unfortunately scrubbed from the basket when they decided to wash off decades of accumulated grease.

As bees forage, they traverse the microbial clouds associated with elements in their environment – green spaces, bodies of water, industrial landscapes. These signatures can be read from the "bee debris" accumulated at the bottom of the hive. We are collaborating with beekeepers in NYC and beyond to recruit honeybees as citizen scientists collecting information on urban aerobiomes, and use the data to understand the environment of their foraging range and detect bee or hive pathogens.
Holobiont Urbanism is an ongoing project initiated in 2015 by Kevin Slavin (Former PI, and founder of Playful Systems Lab at the MIT Media Lab) with Miguel Perez (MIT Media Lab) and Devora Najjar (MIT Media Lab and Wyss Institute), Dr. Elizabeth Henaff (NYU) Dr. Chris Mason (Mason Lab at Weill Cornell), Benjamin Berman (MIT), Chris Woebken (Research Affiliate at the MIT Media Lab), and Regina Flores Mir (Parsons School of Design) exploring the potential of using honey bees as proxy sampling mechanisms for the urban and rural microbiome.
This work has been shown at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2016, and published here.
Starting in Spring 2021, this project is being continued with NYC beekeepers, spearheaded by Annick Saralegui at the Henaff Lab.

Published in Vaccine Weekly, May 26th, 1997
Hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) incidence generally remained static from 1990 to 1994 with an average of 2,868 cases annually and average infection rate of 10.3 cases per 100,000 annually.
According to the Canada Communicable Disease Report (Tepper, "Acute Hepatitis B Incidence in Canada." 23;7) cases in men occurred at a higher crude rate (12.2 per 100,000) than in women (8.8 per 100,000) during this time period, and infection rates were...

text: Although the scholarship on social capital and immigrant economic incorporation has sufficiently documented how immigrants mobilize social capital in their search for employment which often leads to the formation of immigrant niches, how social capital is processed after immigrants acquire employment and its significance for the preservation of immigrant employment niches is less well explored. This paper addresses this gap in the literature with a case study of immigrant Punjabi taxi drivers in the New York metropolitan area. In particular, this study shows how a group of immigrant Punjabi taxi drivers mobilized social capital via embeddedness in co-ethnic social networks and improved their working conditions – a process that must be considered in explanations of the Punjabi niche in the taxi industry for more than two decades. The study has implications for the relationship between social capital and the structure of the workplace or industry where immigrants are incorporated and its subsequent impact on immigrant economic trajectories. Further, this study contributes to the debate on the usefulness of ethnic communities for the adaptation of immigrant groups. Additionally, this research is relevant to the scholarship on the economic adaptation of South Asian (a subset of Asian Americans) immigrants, an understudied immigrant group in the United States.

|"All Creatures Great and Small"
|James Herriot inspired many to become vets in
Millions of Indians still live directly off animal husbandry. Innovative application of
modern veterinary science can help improve the lives of both the animals and their owners.
Want to become Indias Herriot?
Most people will have had some contact with vets
either through the family pets, or on TV in the form of James Herriot, the pen name of
James Alfred Wight a British veterinary surgeon and writer.
The work they do helping sick creatures will tug at the heartstrings. While
these guys make it look easy, becoming a vet is seriously hard work. In fact, getting into
a veterinary career is harder than becoming a doctor! Until recently, vets have had to
struggle against indifference to their profession in the developing world. But these days,
the welfare of domestic animals is seen more positively as an essential part of rural
development and an indication of a modern progressiveoutlook.
The large majority of vets will end up working in private practice small
operations, of between one and four animal doctors where family pets will be the
mainstay of these businesses. Most veterinary doctors, develop a particular area of
expertise. As there are limited opportunities in areas of specialised research and
breeding of animals in India, a majority of veterinarians choose to work in urban areas,
where the work would mostly include the care and handling of domestic pets, or in the
government's animal husbandry departments. As with a doctor handling the medical ailments
of human beings, a veterinarian's work involves diagnosing the ailment of an animal,
through physical and clinical examination, and the administration of appropriate
medication. It also involves the timely administration of vaccines for preventing disease,
and advising on matters of nutrition

Effects of process variables on the yield stress of rheologically modified biomassAuthor(s): Joseph R. Samaniuk; C Tim Scott; Thatcher W. Root; Daniel J. Klingenberg

DescriptionAdditives that alter the rheology of lignocellulosic biomass suspensions were tested under conditions of variable pH, temperature, and solid concentration. The effects of certain ions, biomass type, after the addition of rheological modifier were also examined. Torque and vane rheometry were used to measure the yield stress of samples. It was found that the effectiveness of rheological modifiers depends on pH over a range of 1.5 to 6, biomass type, concentration of certain ions, and time after addition. The time-dependent properties of rheologically modified biomass are sensitive to the type of rheological modifier, and also to mixtures of these additives, which can result in unexpected behavior. We show that time-dependent rheology is not correlated with time-dependent changes of the water-soluble polymer (WSP) in the aqueous environment, such as slow polymer hydration, suggesting that time-dependent changes in the polymer-fiber interaction may play a more significant role.

A morphological process is a means of changing a stem to adjust its meaning to fit its syntactic and communicational context. Arabic is considering one of the major world languages, due to the morphological complexity of the Arabic language; Arabic morphology has become an integral part of many Arabic information retrieval systems. Building large-scale morphological analyzers is typically a laborious and time –consuming task. In this paper, we present an Arabic morphological analyzer (SAMA1) for performing morphological analysis, which entails finding the root of any Arabic words, The SAMA1 was likely to find the root of any Arabic words does not depend on dictionary words in Arabic, has a high percentage of accuracy and speed in finding the root. SAMA1 has been tested on a corpus of 24013 (Nouns and verbs) Root abstracts from Arabic thesaurus, Arabic books and the Saudi Arabian national computer conference. It runs an order of magnitude faster than other algorithms in the literature. The experimental results illustrate that SAMA1 is an efficient Morphological analyzer for Arabic words and gives generalization accuracy of about 98%.
