In "A history of the world in 12 Maps" Professory Jerry Brotton demonstrates the bias and distortion behind a variety of cartographic examples stemming back to the first Mercator projections. In this interview for the BBC, he shows how maps at their worst can be a deceptive expression of the politics of the author, or simply a reflection of a particular contemporary view of the world. He asks if there should be more concern about a private entity such as Google being the single biggest collector and owner of geographic data worldwide.
(Of course some authors would argue that expressing our feelings and beliefs through maps is a freedom we should treasure and celebrate).

It has always been my understanding that the word for England is イギリス. But the wikipedia page for English-American says イングランド系アメリカ人. Even rikaichan has イングランド as England. Is there a difference in usage between these two words? What about 英国?
And as a side question, where does the word イギリス come from?

イギリス is used to refer to the United Kingdom which consists of four main countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is also sometimes referred to as 英国 which used more for official names (such as the Embassy). It can be seen alongside similar names such as 米国. The character also gets used in newspapers/convenient abbreviations (eg 日英同盟 is the expression often used to refer to the Anglo Japanese Naval Treaty).
イングランド refers to England. it is used as when referring to the country/institutions designated at that level such as the national football team.
The origin of the use of 英 (and ultimately イギリス）dates back to the name given to British people by Chinese. It was pronounced YING and used phonetically to replicate the Portuguese name of Ingles. (This character's meaning of "great" or "superior" and the name "Great Britain" is coincidence. For the record, Great Britain is the term used to refer to the largest island of "the British Isles" which is a geographical name for the islands occupied by the UK and the Republic of Ireland. "Great" is used in the same sense that people refer to "Greater China", to include Hong Kong and Taiwan, or Greater London.) This must date back more than 300 years, before the union of Scotland with England and Wales so the confusing (and for some, annoying) tendancy to refer Britain/the UK and its people as England/English goes back such a long way it would even seem to have been ingrained into Asian languages several hundred years ago.

My professor marked points off my essay when I used イングランド -_- – Ataraxia Oct 24 '12 at 13:12
I don't think there is anything wrong with イングランド if that is what you meant although most Japanese probably use イギリス to refer to both but say スコットランドif they want to highlight something such as, say, the birthplace of golf. or the location of Edinburgh. – Tim Oct 24 '12 at 13:54
While it may not be "wrong" to use 「イングランド」 to refer to "England", the truth is that among us native speakers, you would sound pretty snobbish to do so unless you are talking about international soccer. I cannot recommend that a Japanese-learner use the word everytime s/he wants to say "England". Believe it or not, many Japanese-speakers actually would not even be familiar with the word 「イングランド」. – l'électeur Jun 10 '14 at 1:10

Assessment of Plasmodium falciparum PfMDR1 transport rates using Fluo-4.
Bottom Line: Although it is generally accepted that drug resistance in P. falciparum is partly associated with PfMDR1 transport activity situated in the membrane of the digestive vacuole, direct estimates of the pump rate of this transport process in the natural environment of the intact host-parasite system have never been analysed.The fluorochrome Fluo-4 is a well-documented surrogate substrate of PfMDR1 and has been found to accumulate by actively being transported into the digestive vacuole of several parasitic strains.With this assay, we provide a powerful method to selectively measure the effect of PfMDR1 mutations on substrate transport kinetics.

Related in: MedlinePlus
Mentions: Understanding the bioenergetics of PfMDR1 sheds light on general mechanisms of action for this superfamily of transporters. Unlike artificial systems, such as PfMDR1 embedded in artificial liposomes, it is desirable to study transport rates in the natural environment of the transporter, i.e. within the DV of the intact P. falciparum-infected erythrocyte and to have tools at hand to differentiate between pump rates and diffusional uptake. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the transport kinetics of PfMDR1 in the host–parasite system using the Fluo-4 fluorochrome and live-cell imaging. We describe a detailed investigation of the transporter in relation to Fluo-4 solute uptake applied in all compartments of the host–parasite system (Fig. 1). This is the first estimate of overall transport rates of PfMDR1 in the intact host–parasite system. Using a ligand-binding model, we were able to estimate a maximum overall pump rate of ∼50,000 Fluo-4 molecules/min.—or 820/sec.—for the complete set of PfMDR1 molecules found on the DV membrane of the Dd2 parasite.

Tensor Attributes
Each torch.Tensor has a torch.dtype, torch.device, and torch.layout.
class torch.dtype
A torch.dtype is an object that represents the data type of a torch.Tensor. PyTorch has nine different data types:
Data type
Tensor types
32-bit floating point
torch.float32 or torch.float
64-bit floating point
torch.float64 or torch.double
16-bit floating point
torch.float16 or torch.half
8-bit integer (unsigned)
8-bit integer (signed)
16-bit integer (signed)
torch.int16 or torch.short
32-bit integer (signed)
torch.int32 or
64-bit integer (signed)
torch.int64 or torch.long
 - If the type of a scalar operand is of a higher category than tensor operands (where floating > integral > boolean), we promote to a type with sufficient size to hold all scalar operands of that category.
 - If a zero-dimension tensor operand has a higher category than dimensioned operands, we promote to a type with sufficient size and category to hold all zero-dim tensor operands of that category.
 - If there are no higher-category zero-dim operands, we promote to a type with sufficient size and category to hold all dimensioned operands.
Promotion Examples:
>>> int_tensor = torch.ones(1,
# zero-dim tensors
>>> int_zerodim = torch.tensor(1,
>>> torch.add(5, 5).dtype
>>> (int_tensor + 5).dtype
>>> (int_tensor + long_zerodim).dtype
>>> (long_tensor + int_tensor).dtype
>>> (bool_tensor + long_tensor).dtype
>>> (bool_tensor + uint_tensor).dtype
>>> (float_tensor + double_tensor).dtype
>>> (bool_tensor + int_tensor).dtype
# to hold the float.
>>> torch.add(long_tensor, float_tensor).dtype
 - An integral output tensor cannot accept a floating point tensor.
 - A boolean output tensor cannot accept a non-boolean tensor.
Casting Examples:
# allowed:
>>> float_tensor *= double_tensor
>>> float_tensor *= int_tensor
>>> float_tensor *= uint_tensor
>>> float_tensor *= bool_tensor
>>> float_tensor *= double_tensor
>>> int_tensor *= long_tensor
>>> int_tensor *= uint_tensor
>>> uint_tensor *= int_tensor
>>> int_tensor *= float_tensor
>>> bool_tensor *= int_tensor
>>> bool_tensor *= uint_tensor
class torch.device
A torch.Tensor's device can be accessed via the Tensor.device property.
Via a string:
>>> torch.device('cuda:0')
device(type='cuda', index=0)
>>> torch.device('cpu')
Via a string and device ordinal:
>>> torch.device('cuda', 0)
device(type='cuda', index=0)
>>> torch.device('cpu', 0)
device(type='cpu', index=0)
>>> # You can substitute the torch.device with a string
For legacy reasons, a device can be constructed via a single device ordinal, which is treated as a cuda device. This matches Tensor.get_device(), which returns an ordinal for cuda tensors and is not supported for cpu tensors.
>>> torch.device(1)
device(type='cuda', index=1)
class torch.layout
A torch.layout is an object that represents the memory layout of a torch.Tensor. Currently, we support torch.strided (dense Tensors) and have experimental support for torch.sparse_coo (sparse COO Tensors).
>>> x.stride()
(5, 1)
>>> x.t().stride()
(1, 5)
For more information on torch.sparse_coo tensors, see torch.sparse.

As an important parameter of structural health monitoring, strain can be an important indicator for stress concentration and crack development. And stress/crack can effectively evaluate the health status of the structure. Micro-strip antenna strain sensing technology, as a passive wireless detection technology, is of great significance to the health monitoring of high-end equipment bearing structures. In this work, the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is combined with the micro-strip antenna technology. And the micro-strip antenna is used as the tag antenna to receive the energy emitted by the RFID reader and activate the tag chip of the RFID. Then the signal modulation technology is used to eliminate the noise interference in the environment, and the resonant frequency of the antenna changes with the strain/crack information is returned to the reader to realize the passive wireless strain and crack detection. Through the experiment, it proves that under different strain/crack states, the resonant frequency of the RFID-based antenna sensor decreases with the increase of strain or the increase of the depth of the crack.

This paper considers the difference between how climate change is studied by social scientists and how it is dealt with by people. Social scientists arrived late to the climate change party and began by drawing on particular concepts as a consequence of how the topic was being framed when they got there.
If we understand climate change as an abstract problem with reference to the promotion of concerted societal action, certain techniques naturally become appropriate. Yet, if we understand climate change as an intimate problem with reference to how identified social groups live with outdoor conditions, we might start researching rather differently.
This paper considers what we know about how different groups are coming to live with their local climates and then makes the case for a cultural geography approach to this topic. As a way of framing the discussion, I track the movements of coats around the world. Where are they becoming more prevalent, where are they falling out of use, and what can all this tell us about how we will live with climates of the future?

Migration and Refugee Services
Office of Migration Policy and Public Affairs
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
The religious worker visa program allows U.S. religious denominations to fill critical religious worker positions for which there are no qualified candidates in the U.S. with qualified religious workers from abroad. The program provides for two types of visas: (1) the Special Immigrant Visa, which allows qualified religious workers to immigrate to the U.S. permanently and later become citizens if they so choose and meet the qualifications; and (2) the Nonimmigrant Visa, which allows qualified religious workers to enter temporarily and perform services in the U.S. for a proscribed period.
Religious Worker Visas (both the Special Immigrant Visa and the Non‐immigrant Visa) may be granted to both ministers and non‐minister religious workers. Ministers covered by the program are those who are authorized by a recognized religious denomination to conduct religious worship and perform other duties usually performed by members of the clergy, such as administering the sacraments or their equivalent. The provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) that provides for the admission of ministers to the United States is a permanent part of U.S. immigration law. The Non‐Minister religious workers are those who are called to a vocation or who are in a traditional religious occupation with a bona fide nonprofit, religious organization in the United States. Examples of those who are called to a vocation include nuns, monks, and sisters. Examples of those in religious occupations include missionaries, counselors, translators, religious instructors, cantors, and other pastoral care providers. Some non‐minister religious workers are pursuing studies in a seminary or are otherwise in formation. The provision of law that provides for the admission of non‐minister special immigrant religious workers is not a permanent part of U.S. immigration law. Instead, its provisions sunset every few years.
The Special Immigrant Non‐Minister Religious Worker Visa Program, codified in INA § 101(a)(27)(C), was first enacted as part of P.L. 101‐649, the Immigration Act of 1990. Its chief sponsors in Congress at the time were Representative Lamar Smith (R‐TX) and the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D‐MA). The program provides for up to 5,000 Special Immigrant visas per year which religious denominations or organizations in the United States can use to sponsor foreign nationals to perform religious service in the United States. Once granted, this type of visa allows religious workers to immigrate permanently to the United States.
Among the important tasks non‐minister religious workers perform are: providing human services to the most needy, including shelter and nutrition; caring for and ministering to the sick, aged, and dying in hospitals and special facilities; working with adolescents and young adults; assisting religious leaders as they lead their congregations and communities in worship; counseling those who have suffered severe trauma and/or hardship; supporting families, particularly when they are in crisis; offering religious instruction, especially to new members of the religious denomination; and helping refugees and immigrants in the United States adjust to a new way of life.
When first enacted, this program was set to expire in three years. It has been reauthorized five times since then. Under current law, unless Congress acts to prevent it, the Special Immigrant Non‐Minister Religious Visa program will expire on September 30, 2012, leaving many religious denominations or congregations with no effective way of meeting their need for religious workers.
Prior to enactment of the Immigration Act of 1990, nonprofit, United States‐based religious organizations requiring the services of foreign‐born non‐minister religious workers were forced to undergo a burdensome labor certification process and/or fit their needs into the business, student, and missionary visa categories. These visa categories were mainly designed for the needs of profit‐making businesses and other employers and not the specific needs of religious organizations. Religious organizations faced sometimes insurmountable obstacles in using traditional employment immigration categories, which did not fit their unique situations. The resulting consequences were that religious entities found that they could not sponsor workers at all or could not do so within a time frame that corresponded to the actual need for their much‐needed services.
By enacting the Non‐Minister Religious Worker Visa Program, Congress recognized both the problems with asking non‐minister religious workers to fit the requirements of the employment based immigration categories and the genuine and critical need for foreign non‐minister religious workers to perform pastoral and other services in the United States.
Since its initial enactment in 1990, the Special Immigrant Non‐Minister Religious Worker Visa Program has been extended five times. While up to now, the program has been extended each time it has faced expiration, the process leading to that extension has often created uncertainty within the Department of State and Department of Homeland Security, the agencies that administer the program, about whether the program would be extended. This uncertainty also has wrought havoc in the religious community as religious organizations find themselves unsure about whether or not they will have the staff to carry out critical functions. And, the uncertainty has caused local communities to worry about losing vital services that religious organizations provide.
A permanent legislative extension would ensure the continuation of this important program, and would provide a measure of stability that would allow religious organizations to plan ahead. With the rapid decrease in the number of Americans turning to religious vocations, religious organizations are experiencing an acute shortage of non‐minister religious workers in the United States. In these times of uncertainty, it is more important than ever that faith‐based organizations be able to serve the community through the essential services provided by religious workers. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops urges the 112th Congress to make this possible by permanently extending the Non‐Minister Religious Worker Visa Program.

What is CT WiZ and what does it do?
CT WiZ is a comprehensive web-based immunization information system (IIS) for CT that integrates the management of patient immunization with vaccine inventory. The system has the potential for two-way communication with clinic electronic health records (EHRs) using HL7 messaging.
CT Wiz can be used to:
- Manage patient immunization records
- Run clinic reports
- Conduct vaccine inventory management
What happens when I log in for the first time?
When you receive your login information, you are given a temporary password. When you log in for the first time, you will be instructed to change your temporary password and set up your Password Questions.
How do I reset my password?
How do I navigate in CT WiZ?
CT WiZ has a left side menu allowing you to quickly navigate between modules and screens. By clicking on the + sign on each module, the module expands to display the screens in that module. You should also look for icons that can help you find your way in CT WiZ.
How do I update the VIS?
The Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) for each vaccine is updated by CDC periodically. When a new VIS is released by the CDC, the default VIS in CT WiZ will be changed automatically. English and Spanish VIS can be printed from CT WiZ by accessing the Forms section of the Reports module. Current VIS documents can be found in many other languages at _URL_
How do I change information about my clinic (update staff/email/clinic)?
Clinic information changes, such as address, name, staff, phone number and delivery hours, require approval from DPH. You can make the changes in CT WiZ, then a notification is sent to DPH for review and approval. You can view the status of your request in the Change Request History section on the page where you made the change. However, if you need to deactivate a user or move a CT WiZ user to another clinic, submit a ticket to our Helpdesk.
How can I access help in CT WiZ?
There are 3 ways to access help within CT WiZ.
- There are blue "i" icons that appear next to the screen name at the top of the page. Click on the 'i' to find detailed information about the screen.
- For screens with video tutorials, there is a 'Learn More' link under the screen name.
- When you click on your name in the top right corner, select Application Help to find all the video tutorials by topic.
How can I access help in CT WiZ?
How do I print out an official immunization record?
In CT WiZ, you can print out an official immunization record in two places:
- On the patient's Immunization Home screen, under Links at the top of the page.
- In the Reports module under the Patient section.
How do I search for, view and modify a patient's record?
Before searching for a patient's record, be sure you have the correct Provider and Clinic showing at the top of the page.
There are two ways to search for a patient:
- Click on the Patient Search at the top of the screen
- Click on Patients module in the left side menu and then click on Search.
How do I change a patient's name and/or date of birth?
A user cannot change a patient's name and/or date of birth in CT WiZ. This must be done by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) Immunization Program.
How do I add a patient to my clinic?
Usually, you will not need to add a patient to CT WiZ because:
- CIRTS data was transferred into CT WiZ
- Newly born children are being entered into CT Wiz by DPH
Always search for a patient before adding him/her to CT WiZ. This will prevent duplicates.
While you will usually not need to add a patient, your new patients will have to become affiliated to your clinic.
How do I remove a patient from my clinic?
If your patient moves to another clinic within CT or leaves Connecticut he/she should no longer be affiliated with your clinic.
There are two methods to inactivate a patient from your clinic:
- Mark the patient inactive at your clinic on the Programs screen
- Use the Inactive Patients Report in the Patient Management section of Reports
How do I correct data entry errors on a patient record?
This depends on the type of data error.
For Electronic Health Record (EHR) clinics reporting through HL7, you need to correct the data in your electronic health record system and resubmit the HL7 record.
For clinics entering and changing data directly in CT WiZ, you can go back to the screen where the data was entered. If the field is shaded, you cannot change the data and will need to contact our Helpdesk.
How do I report/correct duplicate patient records?
You can only flag a possible duplicate patient record in CT WiZ. You cannot merge the records nor delete a record. Once you flag a record as a possible duplicate, a CT WiZ Admin staff will review the record and de-activate it, if appropriate.
How do I add current and/or historical immunizations?
The Immunization Home screen in CT WiZ allows you to enter both current immunizations you administer in your office and immunizations that were given in the past. Starting from the Immunization Home screen choose 'Add Vaccines' when administering vaccines in your office and 'Add History' when entering data on historical vaccinations.
A few things to keep in mind if you use CT WiZ to manage vaccine inventory:
- The vaccine must be in your clinic's inventory in order to add and administer immunizations in your clinic.
- Avoid borrowing vaccine between your private and public stock.
- Historical immunizations do not decrement from the clinic's inventory.
Add current and/or historical immunizations
How do I access vaccine coverage information?
Vaccine coverage information is available for the state on the DPH dashboard
Clinics can run coverage information for their patients using the Data Quality-User section and the Coverage Statistics section in the Reports module.
How do I figure out which vaccines are due and when?
In CT WiZ, you can run a reminder/recall report for an individual patient using the Recommender. You can also run a reminder/recall for your entire clinic using the Reports module.
How does inventory management work?
The Inventory Management quick guide gives an overview of each aspect of inventory management.
How do I place, track and receive vaccine orders?
The Vaccine Orders screen within the Inventory module allows you to place and track your clinic's vaccines. You will then receive your vaccine order on the Vaccine On-Hand screen.
When placing your order, keep the following in mind:
- Vaccines are ordered by package rather than by dose.
- You must click on the Submit button for your order to be placed.
- Your vaccine order must be approved by the Department of Public Health (DPH) before it is filled.
- You need to ensure your shipping and delivery information is correct.
Receive an inventory shipment
If you order vaccines using CT WiZ, vaccines are added into your inventory automatically once you indicate that you have received them.
The Vaccines On-Hand screen within the Inventory module allows you to view, modify and manually add to your inventory.
How do I transfer vaccines?
Transferring vaccines means you are moving vaccines from one clinic to another clinic. You can only transfer vaccines to providers who have been set up in CT WiZ to order vaccines. The Inventory On-Hand screen within the Inventory module allows you to transfer specific vaccines to another clinic and also receive any vaccines transferred to your clinic.
How do I document borrowed vaccines?
When you borrow a vaccine, you are either using private vaccine stock to vaccinate a VFC eligible child or using VFC vaccines to vaccinate a non-VFC eligible child.
Remember, you must have your private inventory entered into CT WiZ to borrow vaccines.
How do I account for expired and wasted vaccines?
You will need to account for expired and wasted vaccines to successfully complete a vaccine reconciliation. You can make adjustments to these vaccines on the Vaccine On-Hand screen within the Inventory module. The adjustments will then remove the vaccine from your on-hand inventory.
How do I return vaccines?
There are times when you may need to return vaccines to the manufacturer, for reasons such as expired or kept at an inappropriate temperature.
The Vaccine Returns screen within the Inventory module allows you to process vaccine returns.
This function enables users of HL7 practices to see if vaccines that were administered in their EHR can be matched to the CT WiZ inventory on hand.
How often a practice uses Electronic Decrementing is up to the clinic. Keep in mind that the longer you wait, the


To see a step by-step instruction on regular Space size change please check this article: Spaces
In this article we collect various use-cases in real life property management, and give a view on how to solve them using Moderan.
Case: Tenant A had a Space 101. Now this Space is being split to two other Tenants B and C:
 - Tenant B already had neighbor Space 102.
 Physically what has been done is that part of Space 101 was merged to Space 102.
 - The remaining area of Space 101 was given to Tenant C.
Step 1- Ensure the Space was physically rebuilt in a way one part was merged to the other Space.
Normally, when you split a Space in two you create a second one and put to each of the two a corresponding new Size.
In this case we see the Space was not only split - but same time partially merged in the other.
This way, we need to increase the size of Space 102 respectively to the part of Space 101 added, and assign the rest to Tenant C.
Step 2 - Split the Spaces as per the physical changes
1. Increase Space 102 by the part of Space 101 size that was physically added to it
2. Decrease Space 101 by the same part
Ensure both changes are registered for the same date in Moderan
3. Assign Space 102 to Tenant B
4. Assign Space 101 to Tenant C
Ensure both Contracts has rent calculations change for the same date as Space size change
It is important to known the details of actual size reconstructions of Spaces: changes might not be identical to the original Space sizes, sometimes area is remeasured.
Always double check this and the sizes stated in the new Contracts!

Do you ever have trouble finding the right clothes during winter because you are confused by the warmth in your room? A lot of the times, even if you check the weather App on your phone, it is still hard to always dress in the most comfortable way. If let's say, there is a device that can accurately suggest you how to dress in the morning, many miss-dressed instances can be avoided. TechDesign stumbled over a neat design shared by an awesome fellow maker, Jullen Vanier, who invents an IoT weather clock that can accurately tell users what to wear on any given day.
The delicately designed clock looks just like a common home decoration on the wall, and just like its simple appearance, the components are also nothing complicated. The clock hand is moved by a servo motor and it will point to the suitable type of clothes that users should wear. The clock is simply powered by batteries. If you wonder what is the source of the clock's suggestion, then you need to know that all suggestions are made based on the data gathered by the Particle Photon at forecast.io. These data are the secret behind the clock's function. In order to demonstrate how the clock actually functions in reality, Vanier shared a short video:
(Via Julien Vanier on Youtube)
To give you a peek into other major components of the clock, we will start with the circuit board. Vanier chose a servo from the Particle Maker Kit, and the circuit board has three wires connect to it. Other components include a firmware that installs D0 as the servo pin and the cloud function that Vanier applies to control the position of the servo.
As for the antique-looking clock hand, Vanier derived the pattern from GitHub, and turned it into an actual clock hand through 3D printing. A little trick he did to let the clock hand fit the servo is that he left a notch in the 3D part. In order to beautify and secure the clock, Vanier got himself a shadow box to contain the clock. After a few steps of assembling the shadow box and the clock, the final product becomes the useful and practical technological product and home decoration.
In case you try to figure out how the software powers the clock, here is the secret. Vanier divides it into two parts: a Photon firmware that controls the clock hand, and a hook.io script that processes the data coming from forecast.io. In between the two parts, there is the Particle cloud that helps to connect the firmware with the script. To help you better understand the correlation between different parts of the software, Vanier created a graphic to visualize it:

multiplexing in Technology
1. (Or "multiple access") Combining several signals for transmission on some shared medium (e.g. a telephone wire). The signals are combined at the transmitter by a multiplexor (a "mux") and split up at the receiver by a demultiplexor. The communications channel may be shared between the independent signals in one of several different ways: time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, or code division multiplexing.
If the inputs take turns to use the output channel (time division multiplexing) then the output bandwidth need be no greater than the maximum bandwidth of any input.
If many inputs may be active simultaneously then the output bandwidth must be at least as great as the total bandwidth of all simultaneously active inputs. In this case the multiplexor is also known as a concentrator.

2. Writing multiple logical copies of data files. Placing the copies on totally separate paths to mirrored devices greatly reduces the probability of all copies being corrupt. Multiplexing differs from mirroring in that mirroring takes one data file and copies it to many devices, thus making it possible to copy a corrupt file many times. Multiplexing writes the data files to many places simultaneously; there is no "original" data file.

I've always been fascinated by low water crossings on Texas county roads, especially when riding my motorcycle and spring rains have the river running high, sometimes overflowing the road.
This particular crossing of the San Gabriel River is one of my favorites and for years I have wondered how to best capture its essence.
The June full moon gave it magic!
The San Gabriel River
Upstream from the low water crossing, the San Gabriel is the pinnacle of peace and tranquility, the pooling water with ducks & insects floating above and fish swimming down below.
Downstream, the hearty Spring rains transform it into a gushing torrent as the water passes through gaps in the concrete boundary and ever so gradually scours the rocks until they are smooth.
The June Full Moon, which is the lowest on the horizon, is the perfect way to bring a touch of magic to the scene. The moonglow transforms the dark night into a majestic moment in time.
Both are interesting pictures of the same place. Which do you prefer?
Our nearest neighbor, the Moon
After the Sun, our Moon is the brightest object in the sky, reflecting the light of our Sun. The amount of light that it reflects from the Sun depends on what "phase" it is in as it revolves around the Earth. One complete revolution around the earth is 29 ½ days and moon rise/set is about 50 minutes later each day.
 The good news is that it is reliable and predictable to determine when it appears and how bright it will be. That light will determine how many stars you can see… a full moon means fewer stars and a moon means more stars.
The Phases of the Moon
The phase of the Moon is determined the position of the Moon in relationship to the Earth and the Sun.
The Moon reflects sunlight and the phase indicates how much of that light is reflected back to the Earth.
🌑 New Moon is dark and always rises at sunrise
🌓 First Quarter is bright and rises near noon
🌕 Full Moon is the brightest and rises at sunset
🌗 Last Quarter is bright and rises near midnight
See more from timeanddate.com by clicking on the button below.
Now you know how to plan around what type of Moon you want to see.
Pick when you'd like to see a vibrant full moon lighting up the landscape, a delicate crescent sliver above or no moon at all so that you can see more of the stars.
Observe the Moon each night for a month and see how the light upon it changes.

Interesting paper, especially the results.
We study the economic effects of religious practices in the context of the observance of Ramadan fasting, one of the central tenets of Islam. To establish causality, we exploit variation in the length of daily fasting due to the interaction between the rotating Islamic calendar and a country's latitude. We report two key, quantitatively meaningful results: (i) longer Ramadan fasting has a negative effect on output growth in Muslim countries, and (ii) it increases subjective well-being among Muslims. We find evidence that these patterns are consistent with a standard club good explanation for the emergence of costly religious practices: increased strictness of fasting screens out the less committed members, while the more committed respond with an increase in their relative levels of participation. Together, our results underscore that religious practices can affect individual behavior and beliefs in ways that have negative implications for economic performance, but that nevertheless increase subjective well-being among followers.

KRCM Club field layout as referred to in MAAC safety code document MSD 06.
Here Are Some Important Items From The MAAC Safety Code and MAAC Policies and Procedures
Throttle Cut (From MAAC Safety Code Section (MSD 06))
Aircraft flown in this category must be equipped with a convenient means for the operator or helper to quickly and positively shut down the various types of engine(s) used; on the ground, or in the air by radio control. For electric powered models, on modern R/C equipment, it is recommended the member program a "Throttle Cut/Arm" function on their radio transmitter (refer to Original Equipment Manual (OEM) for details). This function provides a means to help prevent accidental throttle stick movement and motor operation.
Identification of Aircraft (From MAAC Policies and Procedures (MPPD 10))
A component of the pending amendments to the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) proposed by Transport Canada is the requirement for all operators of Unmanned Air Vehicle/Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAV/UAS) to affix owner contact information on a tag, label or other means (See Fig 1 for example) to the airframe of all such models which will enable their traceability back to the owner.

The TCU Rhino Initiative was launched in April 2014 as part of TCU's Global Innovator program. We teamed up with Dr. Will Fowlds, renowned South African wildlife vet and rhino conservationist, to help save the rhino and ensure its long-term survival. In South Africa, rhino are being brutally poached at a rate of more than three per day. We stand ready to help on several fronts, from organizing reduction demand campaigns and raising public awareness, to supporting protection and rescue initiatives on the ground, where poached rhinos can be rehabilitated and eventually function again in wild habitats.
The three videos below are from our July 2015 trip to South Africa that included 10 days at the Amakhala Game Reserve where students helped with a rhino surgery and a white rhino mom and calf collaring. The first focuses on the Rhino crisis (some graphic content) whilst the second is an overview of the study abroad trip. Both were produced by students on the trip.

Laborers' Local 91 represents union laborers in Niagara County. In 1935, Local 91 was originally founded as the International Hod Carriers' Building and Common Laborers' Union of America. Local 91 in Niagara Falls is affiliated with the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA). The members of Local 91 are involved in various types of construction and industrial projects, including brick masonry; asbestos removal; hazardous materials abatement; paving roads and runways; pipe installation; and bridge and building construction. Local 91 laborers have participated in various projects throughout Niagara County, such as Niagara Hydro-Electric Power Generating Station, AES Somerset Electric Generating Station, the Seneca Niagara Hotel and Casino, and the Yahoo Data Center.
Up until the late 1970s, Local 91 laborers were exposed to asbestos through materials they applied, removed or handled. Exposure to asbestos dust and fibers can cause mesothelioma or lung cancer many years after an initial exposure. Local 91 members were also exposed to asbestos dust by working in close proximity to other tradesmen, including insulators, carpenters, electricians, and fireproofers, who applied or removed asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos was widely incorporated into many building materials and industrial products that laborers applied or removed, including pipe covering, block insulation, roof shingles, joint compound and fireproof materials. It was also common for laborers to be present when asbestos fireproofing was applied to structural steel in order to keep the machine loaded with the insulating material. Among the many general duties of laborers, which would have exposed them to asbestos, laborers swept up dust and debris after drywall finishers sanded asbestos-containing joint compound. Additionally, laborers performed general duties on construction sites, which also exposed them to asbestos.
The dangers of exposure to asbestos dust were unknown to workers who performed their work without wearing masks or protective gear. Inhaling dust and particles from the application of asbestos-containing materials placed workers at risk for developing mesothelioma or lung cancer. Even workers who were not in direct contact with asbestos materials remain at risk for developing an asbestos-related disease, such as mesothelioma or lung cancer. If you or a loved one worked as a Local 91 laborer and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, please contact us regarding your legal rights.

Caravaggio. Human and divine
Dresden Picture Gallery of Old Masters holds an exhibition "Caravaggio. Human and Divine ".
Visitors will see more than 50 works from the museum's collection. Among the exhibits is the painting "John the Baptist" from the collection of the Capitoline Museum, Rome.
The works of Caravaggio's immediate successors, such as Leonello Spada (_PHONE_) or the Genoese Bernardo Strozzi (_PHONE_), illustrate how Italian contemporaries adopted his visual language. In Rome, the creative center of Europe, Caravaggio was a major attraction for foreign artists. Nicolas Tournier (_PHONE_), Peter Paul Rubens (_PHONE_) and Gerard van Honthorst (_PHONE_) spread the Caravaggio style to Northern Europe. Spanish artists saw his work mainly in Naples, then ruled by Spain. Paintings by Giusepe de Ribera (_PHONE_) and Francisco de Zurbaran (_PHONE_) bear witness to these visits.

In Hong Kong, child poverty is a serious social problem which may lead to intergenerational poverty, but nevertheless only a few studies have examined this issue, particularly for immigrant families. Using Census data (5 %) from 1981, 1991, 2001, and 2011, we assessed child poverty rates in the past three decades and identified key variables contributing to changes in the risk of child poverty for both immigrant and local families. Our results indicate that child poverty rates in Hong Kong-born families have fluctuated between 14.3 and 15.8 % over the past three decades, while for immigrant families they have increased steadily and substantially from 18.1 % in 1981 to 36.5 % in 2001 and then to 37.5 % in 2011. We show that the increase in immigrant child poverty is associated with changes in the Hong Kong economy that have made it more difficult for such families to adapt to the host society, especially in the 1990s and that this negative effect offset the positive influence of compositional changes among this group of immigrant families in terms of parental education levels and family size. The gap between immigrant and local families in terms of child poverty risk is mainly due to the fact that during the 1990s the negative effect of contextual changes in Hong Kong was cancelled out by the beneficial impact of compositional changes for local families, but not for immigrant families where the latter effect was minimal.

Fairy rings appear for apparently no reason at all on well-kept greens, causing anxiety in the green keeper and the players alike. They are caused by a fungus and are difficult to get rid of.
The appearance of some types of fairy rings (such as shown in the image above) do not necessarily affect the running of the bowls. But some types of fairy rings require closing the green while the condition receives treatment, or waiting for the problem to solve itself over time.
Fairy rings on bowling greens
To get an intelligent, scientific answer to the vexing question of what to do about fairy rings on a green, I referred to Dr Charles Louw's book named Lawn Bowls: Greens Management. Here is what he says:
One or more of about a dozen fungi that feed on decaying organic material can cause Fairy Rings.
Most of these fungi belong to the basidiomycetes group. They are normally
characterised by dark arc-shaped rings appearing in the spring or early summer with
or without a paler area inside the darker ring.
The fungus may grow deeply in soil with a dense, white threadlike network of mycelium. As the fairy ring fungus grows outward, it leaves behind older mycelium in the inner ring. These mycelia die, and as they decompose, they give off nitrogen, which gives the grass the dark green colour.
This proves that the active portion of the fairy ring is actually outside the ring that we see.
Symptomatically three types of Fairy Ring are recognised.
Type I Fairy Ring
This type of fairy ring causes the soil and thatch to become hydrophobic, killing the turf in patches, rings, or arcs. In areas affected by a Type I Fairy Ring, the thatch and soil are extremely dry and repel water.
Type II Fairy Ring
This type of fairy ring (as illustrated in the image above) appears as rings or arcs of turf that are
dark green and growing more quickly than the surrounding turf.
Type III Fairy Ring
These fairy rings are characterised by mushrooms or puffballs produced
in a ring or arc as per the photo here.
The type of symptom expressed by a particular Fairy Ring may change during the year according to weather conditions. Type III Fairy Ring symptoms are more prevalent during extended periods of wet weather. Type I and Type II Fairy Ring symptoms are most common during hot, dry weather in the summer.
Control and eradication
Control of Fairy Ring are very difficult. The only assured way of getting rid of Fairy Ring is to remove that portion of the turf, sterilise the soil, and replant. Some success has been achieved by applying a seaweed fertiliser with Fulvic acid plus a micro-organism monthly during the growing season.
Limited success has been achieved by aerating an area about 300 mm wide just outside the dark ring and to a depth of 200 mm. This area should be watered well with a wetting agent and a fungicide, for example, azoxystrobin (Heritage).

Codes of Connection (CoCo) Consultancy
What are Codes of Connection (CoCo)?
A Code of Connection (CoCo) is used when a formally accredited information system wishes to connect to another "unknown" information system. There are a variety of reasons for wishing to connect information systems together, but they usually involve a requirement to exchange data and information.
This page explains how CoCo works, including services such as N3 and the Gambling Commission.
How does CoCo Work?
A code of connection works by the accredited system stipulating a baseline set of controls to be implemented, or commented on, by the connecting organisation.
These controls are usually selected from best practice (ISO 27002) or, more usually, various HMG Information Assurance requirements.
The controls can broadly be broken down into the following types:
 1. Technical, such as implementing an assured barrier between the two organisations or performing an IT Health Check.
 2. Procedural, such as ensuring that all security incidents are reported to the partner organisation.
 3. Physical, such as ensuring that the physical security of assets is adequate.
 4. People, such as ensuring that all staff involved have appropriate background and identity checks or appropriate education, training and awareness.
When the code of connection is completed, the accredited information system will assess the threat the connecting organisation poses. If it believes that the risks are acceptable, it will authorise the connection.
How stringent a code of connection is depends on the level of assurance required between the participant organisations.
What Specific Codes of Connection (CoCo) services are we likely to require?
 - Connecting to N3
 N3 is the integrated network for the NHS, a combination of broadband connections and network services which are intended to link all NHS sites in England and Wales. Our N3 Consultancy service will help you to comply with NHS security policies.
 - Gambling Commission
 Our experienced consultants can help you map a route to compliance with the technical requirements of the Gambling Commission.

Notifies an enlisted object that the status of a transaction is in doubt.(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.)
Notifies an enlisted object that a transaction is being prepared for commitment.(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.)
Notifies an enlisted object that a transaction is being rolled back (aborted).(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.)
Represents the resource manager's implementation of the callback for the single phase commit optimization.
You should note that even when your resource manager implements this interface to support single phase commit optimization, it is not guaranteed that it receives a single phase commit. The transaction manager can still send two phase commit notifications instead.
To enlist your resource manager as a participant in a transaction, call the EnlistVolatile method or the EnlistDurable method of the Transaction class. Specifically, the EnlistmentOptions parameter should equal to None to ensure that a single phase commit is performed. If it is mistakenly set to EnlistDuringPrepareRequired, no single phase commit occurs.
Since the IEnlistmentNotification interface, the resource manager must also implement all the methods of the latter for two phase commit notifications. It is the transaction manager's choice as to whether two phase commit or the single phase commit optimization is used with this resource manager. However, implementing this interface gives the resource manager the opportunity to take advantage of the optimization when it is available.interface derives from the
If the optimization is used and the transaction manager calls the SinglePhaseCommit method of the enlisted resource, the resource manager should respond to this call by using various methods of the SinglePhaseEnlistment class to inform the transaction manager if the transaction is to be committed or rolled back.

To describe the learning curve and provide an estimate of the accuracy of physicians' US examinations (US skills) and self-confidence when examining umbilical catheter tip placement" Kaae et al (2019).
BACKGROUND: The training required for accurate assessment of umbilical catheter placement by ultrasonography (US) is unknown.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the learning curve and provide an estimate of the accuracy of physicians' US examinations (US skills) and self-confidence when examining umbilical catheter tip placement.
METHODS: Twenty-one physicians with minimal experience in US completed a 1.5-hour eLearning module. Ten piglets with catheters inserted in the umbilical vessels were used as training objects. Following eLearning each physician performed up to twelve 10-min US examinations of the piglets. Expert examinations were reference standards. Sensitivity and specificity of physicians' skills in detecting catheter tip placement by US was used to describe the learning curve. Self-confidence was reported by Likert scale after each examination.
RESULTS: Physicians' detection of a correctly placed and misplaced umbilical artery catheter tip increased by an odds ratio of 1.6 (95% CI: 1.1, 2.3) and 3.6 (95% CI: 1.7, 7.8) per examination performed. A sensitivity of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.80, 0.99) and specificity of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.84, 0.99) was reached after 6 examinations. For the venous catheter, US skills in detecting a misplaced catheter tip increased with an odds ratio of 2.4 (95% CI: 1.2, 4.8) per US examination. Overall, performance and self-confidence plateaus were reached after 6 examinations.
CONCLUSION: We found steep learning curves for targeted US examination of umbilical catheter placement. eLearning followed by 6 examinations was found to be adequate training to perform with a sufficiently high accuracy and self-confidence to allow for point-of-care use.

DETERMINATION OF REGULATORY RELIABILITY FOR DEFORMATION OF REINFORCED-CONCRETE FLEXIBLE STRUCTURES
Vestnik Tomskogo gosudarstvennogo arkhitekturno-stroitel nogo universiteta JOURNAL of Construction and Architecture
Strength, stiffness, crack resistance requirements must be specified for any structure. These requirements are provided by the appropriate calculations. Compliance with all requirements ensures the design reliability. But due to the fact that structural analysis is performed by the limit state method, the numerical value of the reliability cannot be determined. This can be done only by applying probabilistic methods of calculation. One of the major obstacles to the use of probabilistic methods
... babilistic methods is the lack of standardized values of the structural reliability (normative reliability).Although probabilistic methods of calculation were developed in late in the 20th century, the assignment of normative reliability values encountered serious obstacles. The most serious obstacle was the consideration of the failure consequences as some consequences were quantifiable. On the other hand, much work concerned the assignment of normative structural reliability based on their bearing capacity. Only few works related to the reliability normalization using deformation and crack resistance.This paper deals with the regulatory definition of reliability using the deformation of reinforced-concrete bendings based on physiological requirements. A method for determining the normative reliability based on human sensitivity to fluctuations is proposed. The normative reliability of precast slabs is determined using the proposed method.

Implanted antennas for implant-to-air data communications must be composed of material compatible with biological tissues. We design single and dual-polarization antennas for wireless ultra-wideband neural recording systems using an inhomogeneous multi-layer model of the human head. Antennas made from flexible materials are more easily adapted to implantation; we investigate both flexible and rigid materials and examine performance trade-offs. The proposed antennas are designed to operate in a frequency range of 2-11 GHz (having S11 below -10 dB) covering both the 2.45 GHz (ISM) band and the 3.1-10.6 GHz UWB band. Measurements confirm simulation results showing flexible antennas have little performance degradation due to bending effects (in terms of impedance matching). Our miniaturized flexible antennas are 12 mm{\texttimes}12 mm and 10 mm{\texttimes}9 mm for single- and dual-polarizations, respectively. Finally, a comparison is made of four implantable antennas covering the 2-11 GHz range: 1) rigid, single polarization, 2) rigid, dual polarization, 3) flexible, single polarization and 4) flexible, dual polarization. In all cases a rigid antenna is used outside the body, with an appropriate polarization. Several advantages were confirmed for dual polarization antennas: 1) smaller size, 2) lower sensitivity to angular misalignments, and 3) higher fidelity.

Ultrawideband (UWB) short-range communication systems have proved to be valuable in medical technology, particularly for implanted devices, due to their low-power consumption, low cost, small size, and high data rates. Neural activity monitoring in the brain requires high data rate (800~kb/s per neural sensor), and we target a system supporting a large number of sensors, in particular, aggregate transmission above 430 Mb/s (\~{}512 sensors). Knowledge of channel behavior is required to determine the maximum allowable power to 1) respect ANSI guidelines for avoiding tissue damage, and 2) respect FCC guidelines on unlicensed transmissions. We utilize a realistic model of the biological channel to inform the design of antennas for the implanted transmitter and the external receiver under these requirements. Antennas placement is examined under two scenarios having contrasting power constraints. Performance of the system within the biological tissues is examined via simulation and experiment. Our miniaturized antennas, 12 mm {\texttimes}12 mm, need worst-case receiver sensitivities of -38 and -30.5 dBm for the first and second scenarios, respectively. These sensitivities allow us to successfully detect signals transmitted through tissues in the 3.1-10.6-GHz UWB band.

Splitting extended families into their component nuclear families to apply a genetic association method designed for nuclear families is a widespread practice in familial genetic studies. Dependence among genotypes and phenotypes of nuclear families from the same extended family arises because of genetic linkage of the tested marker with a risk variant or because of familial specificity of genetic effects due to gene-environment interaction. This raises concerns about the validity of inference conducted under the assumption of independence of the nuclear families. We indeed prove theoretically that, in a conditional logistic regression analysis applicable to disease cases and their genotyped parents, the naive model-based estimator of the variance of the coefficient estimates underestimates the true variance. However, simulations with realistic effect sizes of risk variants and variation of this effect from family to family reveal that the underestimation is negligible. The simulations also show the greater efficiency of the model-based variance estimator compared to a robust empirical estimator. Our recommendation is therefore, to use the model-based estimator of variance for inference on effects of genetic variants.

Slow oscillation is the main brain rhythm observed during deep sleep in mammals. Although several studies have demonstrated its neocortical origin, the extent of the thalamic contribution is still a matter of discussion. Using electrophysiological recordings in vivo on cats and computational modeling, we found that the local thalamic inactivation or the complete isolation of the neocortical slabs maintained within the brain dramatically reduced the expression of slow and fast oscillations in affected cortical areas. The slow oscillation began to recover 12 h after thalamic inactivation. The slow oscillation, but not faster activities, nearly recovered after 30 h and persisted for weeks in the isolated slabs. We also observed an increase of the membrane potential fluctuations recorded in vivo several hours after thalamic inactivation. Mimicking this enhancement in a network computational model with an increased postsynaptic activity of long-range intracortical afferents or scaling K(+) leak current, but not several other Na(+) and K(+) intrinsic currents was sufficient for recovering the slow oscillation. We conclude that, in the intact brain, the thalamus contributes to the generation of cortical active states of the slow oscillation and mediates its large-scale synchronization. Our study also suggests that the deafferentation-induced alterations of the sleep slow oscillation can be counteracted by compensatory intracortical mechanisms and that the sleep slow oscillation is a fundamental and intrinsic state of the neocortex.

Every generation works hard to make life comfortable for themselves and for their children. Before the industrial revolution of the mid 1800s, building houses, making boats, fishing, and farming was hard work--requiring skill and knowledge to do it well.
Restoring interior moldings of 18th and 19th century houses involves using antique hand planes and judging how to make things "look" straight, when the house has settled over time. Steve Roy from Adams & Roy, Portsmouth, NH.
Traditional occcupations usually require learning alot about many things--how to work with raw materials, how to use and repair tools, how seasons affect what you are tryign to do, and so much more. It may also require leanring how to work outside in all kinds of weather conditions. In a traditional occupation, all of this knowledge is usually handed down from one skilled worker to another, not learned from a book.

No one can deny the importance of an academic institution, as it plays an important role in enhancing the learning capabilities and skills of students. Besides providing knowledge, the core objective of an academic institute is to groom social interaction skills of younger generation while helping them to succeed in the competitive world. Choosing an educational institution can be a daunting task for parents, since it is one of the most important decisions parents can make in their children's education. Therefore, mostly educational instates used academic logos to clearly show the mission statement, sincerity and dedication level of the institute to the parents and students. If truth be told, an academic logo design is the most convincing and effective way to draw attention of intended audience. The features given below are some important characteristics of academic logos:
Imagery related to an Academic Logo
Since an academic logo design is a clear representation of an institute, therefore it is very important to choose more relevant images for such logos. Images such as libraries, books, torches, sword, pencils or other related symbols are used in an academic logo design, making this visual appearance impressive and clear. This will clearly explain the educational and enlightening nature of the particular institute.
Typefaces linked to Academic Logos
When it comes to an academic logo, sensible font selection is the most important factor to create an understandable graphical image for the viewers. Explicable and professional fonts can make the logo design easily readable, helping people to read and remember the name of your institute. This will surely provide recognition and a strong credibility to your educational establishment.
Colors Selection for an Academic Logo Design
To represent the mission statement and actual purpose of academic institutes, an appropriate color selection is an absolute must for academic logos. Dark colors such as navy blue, black, brown or green are some of the best color choices for an academic logo design. The right colors can definitely make a positive impression in the minds of students and parents, making it very easy for the people to choose your institute among others.
These are a few prominent characteristics of an academic logo design which can serve as a unique brand identity for your organization. The main objective for creating academic logos is to make people aware of your educational services and convince them to choose your academic institute instead of others.

, the White Witch (Thysania agrippina) of Central and South America, has the longest recorded wingspan of the order, and indeed of any living insect. Although the White Witch is exceeded in surface area and mass by both Ornithoptera and Attacus. The verified record-sized Thysania spanned 30.8 cm (12.1 in) across the wings, although specimens have been reported to 36 cm (14 in). This challenged by the Hercules moth (Coscinocera hercules) of New Guinea and Northern Australia, which is confirmed to 28 cm (11 in) while unconfirmed specimens have spanned up to 35.5 cm (14.0 in). The heaviest mature moths have been cited in the giant carpenter moth (Xyleutes boisduvali) of Australia, which has weighed up to 20 g (0.71 oz) although the species doesn't surpass 25.5 cm (10.0 in) in wingspan.
- Praying mantises (Mantodea)
- The largest species of this order is Toxodera denticulata from Java, which has been measured up to 20 cm (7.9 in) in overall length. However, an undescribed species from the Cameroon jungle is allegedly much larger than any other mantis and may rival the larger stick insects for the longest living insect. Among widespread mantis species, the largest is the Chinese mantis (Tenodera aridifolia). The females of this species can attain a length of up to 10.6 cm (4.2 in).
- Alderflies and allies (Megaloptera)
- This relatively small insect order includes some rather large species, many of which are noticeable for their elongated, imposing mandibles. The dobsonflies reach the greatest sizes of the order and can range up to 12.5 cm (4.9 in) in length.
- Net-winged insects (Neuroptera)
- These flying insects reach their largest size in Palparellus voeltzkowi, which can have a wingspan over 16 cm (6.3 in). The largest lacewing is the Blue eyes lacewing (Nymphes myrmeleonides) of Australia, which can measure up to 4 cm (1.6 in) in length and span 11 cm (4.3 in) across the wings. Some forms of this ancient order could grow extremely large during the Jurassic Era and may have ranked among the largest insects ever.
- Dragonflies (Odonata)
- The largest living species of dragonfly is Megaloprepus caerulatus of the neotropics, attaining a size of as much as 19 cm (7.5 in) across the wings and a body length of over 12 cm (4.7 in). Spanning up to 17.6 cm (6.9 in) and measuring up to 11.8 cm (4.6 in) long, Tetracanthagyna plagiata of Southeast Asia is bulkier and heavier than Megaloprepus at up to 7 g (0.25 oz). The largest species of dragonfly ever is the extinct aforementioned Meganeura, although it is not certain to be included in the modern dragonfly order.
- Grasshoppers and allies (Orthoptera)
- The largest of this widespread, varied complex of insects are the giant wetas of New Zealand, which is now split among 12 species. The largest of these is the Little Barrier Island giant weta (Deinacrida heteracantha), the largest specimen was weighed at 71.3 g (2.52 oz), one of the largest insects weights ever known. These heavyweight insects can be over 9 cm (3.5 in) long. The largest grasshopper species is often considered to be the Australian Giant Grasshopper (Valanga irregularis), which ranges up to 9 cm (3.5 in) in length. The American Eastern Lubber Grasshopper (Romalea guttata) can allegedly range up to 10 cm (3.9 in) in length. However, the greatest grasshopper sizes known, to 12 cm (4.7 in), have been cited in the South American Giant Grasshopper (Tropidacris violaceus). The longest members of this order (although much less heavier than the giant wetas) is the katydid Macrolyristes corporalis of Southeast Asia which can range up to 21.5 cm (8.5 in) with its long legs extended and can have a wingspan of 20 cm (7.9 in).
- Stick insects (Phasmatodea)
- The longest known stick insect, and indeed the longest insect ever known, is Phobaeticus chani of the Bornean rainforests, with one specimen held in the Natural History Museum in London measuring 56.7 cm (22.3 in) in total length. This measurement is, however, with the front legs fully extended. The body alone still measures 35.7 cm (14.1 in). The species with the second longest body is Phobaeticus kirbyi, also of Borneo, which measures up to 32.8 cm (12.9 in), while the overall length (from the hind to the front legs) is up to 54.6 cm (21.5 in). The second longest insect in terms of total length is Phobaeticus serratipes of Malaysia and Singapore, measuring up to 55.5 cm (21.9 in). Another extremely long stick insect is Pharnacia maxima, which measured 51 cm (20 in) with its legs extended. The Spiny Stick Insect (Heteropteryx dilatata) of Malaysia does not reach the extreme lengths of its cousins, the body reaching up to 16 cm (6.3 in) long, but it is much bulkier. The largest Heteropteryx weighed about 65 g (2.3 oz) and was 3.5 cm (1.4 in) wide across the thickest part of the body.
- Louse (Phthiraptera)
- These insects, which live parasitically on other animals, are as a rule quite small. The largest known variety is Haematopinus suis, a "sucking lice" species that favors large livestock like pigs and cattle. It can range up to 6 mm (0.24 in) in length.
- Stoneflies (Plecoptera)
- The largest species of stonefly is Pteronarcys californica of western North America, a species favored by fishermen as lures. This species can attain a length of 5 cm (2 inch) and a wingspan of over 9.5 cm (3.7 in).
- Booklice (Psocoptera)
- The largest of this order of very small insects are the barklouse of the genus Psocus, the top size of which is about 1 cm.
- Fleas (Siphonaptera)
- The largest species of flea is Hystrichopsylla schefferi. This parasite is known exclusively from the fur of the mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) and can reach a length of 1.2 cm (0.5 in).
- Silverfishes and allies (Thysanura)
- These strange-looking insects, known to feed on human household objects, can range up to 4.3 cm (1.7 in) in length. A 350 million year old form was known to grow quite large, at up to 6 cm (2.4 in).
- Thrips (Thysanoptera)
- Members of the genus Phasmothrips are the largest kinds of thrips. The maximum size these species attain is approximately 1.3 cm (0.5 in) in length.
- Caddisflies (Trichoptera)
- The largest of the small, moth-like caddisflies is Eubasilissa maclachlani. This species can range up to 7 cm (2.8 in) across the wings.
The largest living fungus may be a honey fungus of the species Armillaria ostoyae. A mushroom of this type in the Malheur National Forest in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon, U.S. was found to be the largest fungal colony in the world, spanning 8.9 km² (2,200 acres) of area. This organism is estimated to be 2400 years old. The fungus was written about in the April 2003 issue of the Canadian Journal of Forest Research. While an accurate estimate has not been made, the total mass of the colony may be as much as 605 tons[vague]. If this colony is considered a single organism, then it is the largest known organism in the world by area, and rivals the aspen grove "Pando" as the known organism with the highest living biomass. It is not known, however, whether it is a single organism with all parts of the mycelium connected.
In Armillaria ostoyae each individual mushroom (the fruiting body, similar to a flower on a plant) has only a 5 cm (2 inch) stipe, and a pileus up to 12.5 cm (5 in) across. There are many other fungi which produce a larger individual size mushroom. The largest known fruiting body of a fungus is a specimen of Fomitiporia ellipsoidea found on Hainan Island.

What is An Alewife?
Alewives are members of the herring family. They spend most of their lives at sea, and migrates up freshwater rivers to spawn. Alewives range from the Canadian Maritime Provinces to North Carolina. At sea, they spend most of their time north of Long Island and Cape Cod, mixing with other small, pelagic fish over the continental shelf. They return to spawn between the ages of 3 and 5, presumably to the river in which they were born, or nearby, and can live 8 to 10 years. Spawning runs occur in the spring, and fish can make multiple spawning runs over their lifetime. A small fish of humble appearance, alewives are incredibly important ecologically. They are perhaps most important as a forage fish, serving as prey for numerous predators while at sea (such as cod, tuna, dolphins) in estuaries (striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, harbor seals) and in rivers (ospreys, white perch, herons, river otters). Also, alewives help deliver carbon and energy upstream against river flow to freshwater habitats, thereby replenishing what is lost as water moves matter out to sea. Alewives have been listed as Species of Concern by NOAA, which reflects the possibility that they will become endangered in the absence of concerted conservation efforts. Alewife populations on Long Island have not fared much better. Efforts are underway to restore alewives by providing access to historical spawning grounds that have been lost. Friends of the Bay is preparing plans to modify impassible culverts and install fish ladders to help fish reach valuable spawning habitat.

The Raindrop Technique, developed by Gary Young, N.D. and a Lakota medicine man almost two decades ago, it uses a sequence of nine highly immune enhancing essential oils in conjunction with hands-on Vitaflex Therapy techniques.
HOW DOES THE RAINDROP TECHNIQUE WORK?
Therapeutic grade essential oils are dropped like rain from a height of about six inches onto the spine and then lightly massaged into the body using various hand to body techniques. This stimulates energy impulses and disperses the oils along the nervous system throughout the entire body.
We all carry immune system depleting viruses and bacteria. Essential oils applied to the spinal column are absorbed through the nerves that feed the entire body. Wonderfully soothing, nurturing and relaxing, the Raindrop Technique can work its benefits in the body for days, weeks or months. With essential oils applied via the Raindrop Technique, the body can be brought into balance and the energy centers can be cleared and re-aligned. The Raindrop Technique also helps reduce spinal inflammation, creates an inhospitable environment for the viruses that hibernate along the spinal column, and may help to straighten any spinal curvatures. Although a session lasts about sixty minutes, the oils will continue to work in the body for a minimum of a week following the treatment.

Does the acoustic waveform mirror the voice? A keynote address from PEVOC 6
Over recent decades, much effort has been invested in the search for acoustic correlates of vocal function and dysfunction. We know that the acoustic signal is a rich but in many ways incomplete source of information. Computer literacy and technical curiosity in the voice care and voice performance communities are now higher than ever, and tools for voice analysis are proliferating. On such a busy scene, a review may be useful of basic principles for what we can and cannot hope to determine from non-invasive acoustic analysis. An engineer's approach to a conceptual stratification of the speech and voice production processes is presented.

Media Convergence Handbook : Journalism, Broadcasting, and Social Media Aspects of Convergence
About this item
The Media Convergence Handbook sheds new light on the complexity of media convergence and the related business challenges. Approaching the topic from a managerial, technological as well as end-consumer perspective, it acts as a reference book and educational resource in the field. Media convergence at business level may imply transforming business models and using multiplatform content production and distribution tools. However, it is shown that the implementation of convergence strategies can only succeed when expectations and aspirations of every actor involved are taken into account. Media consumers, content producers and managers face different challenges in the process of media convergence.
Volume I of the Media Convergence Handbook encourages an active discourse on media convergence by introducing the concept through general perspective articles and addressing the real-world challenges of conversion in the publishing, broadcasting and social media sectors.
