How do you keep pothos from getting leggy?
There are five main ways to help a plant to look less leggy:
 1. Stake them up
 2. Cut them back
 3. Give them more light
 4. Propagate them
 5. Plant multiple plants together
Yeah, yeah, it's a philodendron in the picture. They get leggy too.
I go back and forth when it comes to leggy plants. I like them when they're hanging because I think the legginess gives a nice silhouette, whereas a fuller plant can well, get in your way and block out all the light.
But when they get leggy on shelves and on the floor, they can look a bit…sad and unloved, which isn't really the vibe I'm after.
If your plant is leggy, it doesn't mean it's unhealthy, or that you're a bad plant parent. It's just natural.

What does leggy mean?
Leggy just means that your plant is growing and growing and growing but not producing that many leaves. You sometimes hear plants being referred to as spindly, which is the same as being leggy.

Why do plants get leggy?
Vining plants vine because they're trying to grow towards the light. As they get further up, they grow bigger leaves closer together on the vine to take advantage of all the light.
If a plant is trailing, they'll receive less light, and consequently will grow smaller leaves further apart and look leggy. There's no advantage to them growing a lot of big leaves because the energy expended the growing a massive leaf won't recouped by the light received.
It's a way for the plant to grow without expending unnecessary energy.

So how do we stop plants from getting leggy?
Stake them up
If you give a plant a moss pole, trellis, or even bamboo cane to grow up, you can replicate the conditions under which it'll grow bigger leaves.
In the wild, vining plants wind around trees to get to the light, so by providing it with a 'tree' to grow up, you can convince it to grow bigger leaves more closely together.
This does work, but it's obviously not a quick solution. If you don't like the look of leggy plants and you're not after the trailing look, introducing a stake early on will lead to bigger, fuller growth in the future.

Cut them back
This is another long term approach to creating fuller plant,s so if you're after a quick fix look further down the article.
If you cut back the leggy growth not only will you er, not have a leggy plant any more, but the plant will be able to put its energy into growing bigger leaves, rather than sustaining the leggy growth that's not getting enough light.
I know it sounds counterintuitive to cut a plant back to make it fuller, but it works, promise.

Give them more light
The main reason plants grow leggily (what you mean, that's not a word?) is that they're not getting enough light.
Therefore, it stands to reason that if you give a plant more light, it'll grow less leggy.
You know what I mean.
The easiest way to do this is to move your plant to a brighter spot. Just make sure you don't move from a low light position to full sun, because you'll be dealing with the opposite problem, which is leaves burned to a fookin' crisp.
And whilst legginess is a personal preference, only psychopaths prefer their plants dead.
Grow lights are another option. Have a look at my resources page for the ones I recommend. I replaced a reading light in a dark corner with a grow light and I have a couple of philodendra (I will never accept that word, NEVER) that live there and seem quite happy.
There seems to be a lot of noise in the online world about buying lightbulbs that produce grow light-style spectrums (spectra??), but I'm not one for unnecessarily replacing perfectly serviceable light bulbs, so expect a review in about a decade.
Which is apparently how long our eco-friendly bulbs will last.
Oh well.

Propagate them
This is following on from cutting them back, but it's a great way to reduce waste.
You can propagate the cuttings you snipped, and then plant them back in the soil for an immediately bushier plant. Yay!
Actually, I wouldn't recommend that because I'm a killjoy that doesn't want you to have full plants it's easier to check on the progress on propagations if you put the cuttings in water.
When you cut the plant back, be sure to have a few leaf nodes. If you're not sure if you have a node, remove a few leaves and make sure the point you removed at least one leaf from is in the water.
(Also be sure to put your cutting in the right way up. Sounds obvious, but I've accidentally dunked a few cuttings in head-first in my time, and then wondered why I'm not seeing roots)
Once your cuttings have roots an inch or so long, pop them back in with the mother plant, being sure to keep the soil moist whilst the cutting transitions.

Plant multiple plants together
Right, rich people, this one's for you.
Instead of buying one plant, buy a few of the same type and whack them all in a pot together. Hey presto! Instant big-ass plant!
A few tips though:
 - Don't re pot straight away. Give them all time to acclimatise to your home. Not so instant I suppose. Read up on repotting here.
 - You can pot up different types of pothos or philodendron together for a really cool display. Just make sure they all require the same care.
 - Be vigilant about pests. You don't want to bring home one infested plant and spread it to the others
 - Some plants grow big roots and won't really like this approach in the long run – monstera deliciosa aren't fans, and I feel like ZZ plants would struggle.
I don't actually know if monstera deliciosa, in particular, don't like to be potted together, or if they're just always mentioned as a cautionary tale because so many people try to get fuller plants by potting up loads of cuttings together.
I'm worried because I have three monstera potted up together. They'recurrently in a pot that's far too big for them, but in 20 years or so I may regret my decision 😂😂😂
It's best to go with plants that have small root systems – pothos and calathea are good options.
two calathea beauty stars
I was plant shopping at the weekend and found these two Calathea Beauty Star at Dean's garden centre in York. They're teeny tiny, but I'm going to plant them together so by the end of the year they'll hopefully be the size of one normal plant. For £5.98 for two, you really can't complain.
Let them get leggy
If you like the trailing look, absolutely go for it. I think it creates a gorgeous, soft effect, but personally I only have one trailing plant. Not because I don't like how they look or anything, but because they're a ballache to water.
I have a MASSIVE philodendron scandens over my fish tank and it's a pain. I have to get it down and soak it because I don't want to get water in the fish tank electrics, and the thing has attached itself to its pot (the roots coil out of the bottom), so repotting isn't really an option.
It's a menace. Looks cool as hell though.
And so concludes my tips on leggy plants. IF you have any questions, then either leave me a comment or email me here.

 1. Ha! Thank you for this hilarious read!! Who knew an article about plants would have me cracking up.. Thank you for sharing, great info, please keep posting :]
 2. Hi, Your post is so entertaining. Glad to have stumbled by it when I was looking for some tips for my leggy pothos. BTW, i feel so guilty each time one of my plants die for various reasons. Any tips about how to overcome it?
 3. Errrr…practice?
 Jokes aside, I also feel awful if my plants die, but I tell myself that I'm trying my best to learn how to care for them. If you try to learn from every plant death, you can reduce the chance of the same mistake being repeated. And you can help other people with their plants and avoid more deaths.
 Oh, and if pests eat your plant, think of how much fun they had eating it. I've provided many delicious Calathea to support spider mite mothers!

Developmental Screening
Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ)
The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) is the most accurate and parent friendly way to screen young children and identify potential developmental delays as early as possible. Parent Link Centres offer the Ages and Stages Questionnaire for parents to use to give them a 'snapshot' of their child's development, educate families about what to expect in their child's next stage of development, and offer parent's ideas and suggestions to promote and support their child's development.
Why is Monitoring Child Development Important?
The first 5 years of life are very important because this time sets the stage for success in school and later adulthood. This is optimal time for your child to learn through play and experiences. It is important to ensure that each child is developing as expected during this period.
What Is the Ages and Stages Questionnaire?
This is a simple questionnaire that the parent fills out at home. It is based on the age of the child and asks specific questions to determine your child's development in the following areas:
 1. Communication: looks at the child's language skills, both what he/she understands and what he/she can say.
 2. Gross motor: looks at large muscle movement and coordination.
 3. Fine motor: looks at hand and finger movement and coordination.
 4. Problem solving: looks at how the child plays with toys and the child's problem-solving skills.
 5. Personal social: looks at the child's self-help skills and interactions with others.
 6. An Overall section addresses general parental concerns.
Where can I get an Ages and Stages Questionnaire?
Developmental screens can be picked up at the Parent Link Centre – 127 1st Avenue West, Cochrane.
How do I complete the Ages and Stages Questionnaire?
As you play with your child, you are asked to observe the way that your child completes certain activities. You check "yes" if your child performs the activity regularly; "sometimes" if your child does it only occasionally; "not yet" if your child does not do the activity yet.
What do I do with the completed Ages and Stages Questionnaire?
Once you complete the questionnaire, return it to the Parent Link Centre and it will be reviewed by a staff person. The staff will go over the results with you. You will receive a list of appropriate activities you may enjoy doing with your child to continue to promote development.
What happens if the Ages and Stages Questionnaire determines that my child has an area of concern?
If your child is identified as having an area of concern, the parent will be given a referral to an appropriate agency for further evaluation. This does not mean that there is something wrong with your child, but perhaps they simply need extra attention in one of the five identified areas.
Contact: _PHONE_ for more information or to arrange a time for a developmental screen through the Cochrane & Area Family Resource Network.

Top 5 Benefits of Fabric Buildings
What are some of the benefits of fabric buildings? Here are the top five!
1) Increased Energy Efficiency
Fabric structures are made from various materials, but they all share one common trait: they are lightweight and flexible. This means that fabric structures can be erected quickly, making them an excellent solution for storage, data centers, office space, quick disaster relief, or emergency housing in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Fabric shelters are also much cooler than metal buildings during the hot summer months because the sun doesn't heat up metal as quickly as it does fabric, which helps keep people more comfortable inside. Finally, because fabric structures use less energy to cool down, they also save on energy costs.
2) Greater Durability
One major benefit is that fabric buildings are made from durable fabric which can withstand extreme weather conditions. This means they are more resilient to storm damage and other natural disasters. Fabric shelters protect against harsh weather conditions so you never have to worry about being snowed-in again!
3) Reduced Maintenance Costs
Fabric buildings are one of the most cost-effective building options available. They require little to no maintenance, which means you can save on costly repairs and replacements that often occur with traditional buildings. In addition to being low-maintenance, fabric buildings are incredibly durable and have been proven in some cases to be up to eight times stronger than conventional construction.
4) Increased Versatility
Fabric buildings offer increased versatility. Unlike traditional buildings, which are built onsite, fabric buildings can be assembled and disassembled in a matter of hours. This means that you have the option to move your building to another location if needed or desired, without the time and expense that is typically associated with relocating a traditional building.
5) Eco-Friendly Alternative
Fabric buildings are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional building materials. They don't require any form of foundation, and they can be erected in less than a day. They are also more cost-efficient than other forms of construction because they require no heating or cooling systems. All this and they're better for the environment then the traditional build.
Fabric buildings have a number of advantages over traditional building methods. They can be much cheaper to build than a brick-and-mortar building, which can help you save money in the long run. These structures are more portable than other types of buildings so they are easier to move if you need to relocate or make modifications. As well as being more eco-friendly than traditional structures because they use less energy and resources during their construction and in the manufacturing process. Overall fabric buildings are a great choice if you're looking for modern, cost effective, eco-friendly alternative that brings you ROI.

text: The aeroengine turbine cavity with pre-swirl structure makes the turbine component obtain better cooling effect, but the complex design of inlet and outlet makes it difficult to determine the heat transfer reference temperature of turbine disk. For the pre-swirl structure with two air intakes, the driving temperature difference of heat transfer between disk and cooling air cannot be determined either in theory or in test, which is usually called three-temperature problem. In this paper, the three-temperature problem of a rotating cavity with two cross inlets are studied by means of experiment and numerical simulation. By substituting the adiabatic wall temperature for the inlet temperature and summarizing its variation law, the problem of selecting the reference temperature of the multi-inlet cavity can be solved. The results show that the distribution of the adiabatic wall temperature is divided into the high jet area and the low inflow area, which are mainly affected by the turbulence parameters λT, the rotating Reynolds number Reω, the high inlet temperature Tf,H* and the low radius inlet temperature Tf,L* of the inflow, while the partition position rd can be considered only related to the turbulence parameters λT and the rotating Reynolds number Reω of the inflow. In this paper, based on the analysis of the numerical simulation results, the calculation formulas of the partition position rd and the adiabatic wall temperature distribution are obtained. The results show that the method of experiment combined with adiabatic wall temperature zone simulation can effectively solve the three-temperature problem of rotating cavity.

Field Trip Report 2: Freshwater marshes on the east side and the Sammamish Plateau
We will start the field trip by looking at wetlands in the Big Bear Creek drainage east of Woodinville. Big Bear Creek is probably the least disturbed of all of the drainages on the east side, yet it is filled with invasives. Then we will go south to the Redmond watershed, a large forested preserve with a number of excellent wetlands (near the Redmond Block wetlands that are now developed as Trilogy and Redmond Ridge). Up on the Sammamish Plateau we will visit the Hazel Wolf wetland and then finish up by going to Queen's Bog in Klahanie.
Look at the invasive plants that are at different wetlands. Collect samples of them. Why are they there? Try to figure out the disturbance history of a site, and whether such a history has resulted in an increase in invasive plants.
What is the hydrology of each wetland? How does the water get there and where does it come from? Is the water permanent? How much do you think it fluctuates during the year? How wet is each site?
What does shade do to the diversity of invasive plants? What effect does shade have on what kinds of native wetland plants are present? Collect samples of native plants.
Which sites are nutrient rich and which are nutrient poor (oligotrophic)? How do the nutrients get to each site? What is the impact of nutrients on plant communities?

How to Create an Outline Text Effect in Photoshop CS3
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you a quick way how to create an outline text effect. So you will need a new blank canvas, any size you want. If you'd like to have a background color, that's fine. I got just a basic canvas here.
So first thing I'm going to do is create my text. I'm going to select my text tool from the toolbox, and you could choose any font that you'd like and any size that you like. You could do any other, you could change the color, you could change the alignment, anything else you want and click in your document and then go ahead and type your text and then you can move it you'd like.
Okay, so we have our text now. We're going to make it an outline. So go ahead and double click in your layers palate on the layer with the text and that will open up your layer style dialog box. In these general blending options, we want to go down towards this fill opacity and you're going to change that to zero and that's basically going to get rid of all the color inside of your lines.
Then we're going to make sure that we have a stroke, click on stroke and you can make this stroke any size that you want, make it at least two to three so you have an outline. I'm going to go ahead and make it a little bit thicker and do four and you can leave all these settings the same. You can change them if you'd like to get a different look. Make sure that the field type says color for your stroke and then click on the color well and choose a color that you'd like to have as your outline. Click on OK, click on OK again and then you would be taken back to your canvas and now you have an outline text effect.

What Is Mill Scale?
Are you curious to know what is mill scale? You have come to the right place as I am going to tell you everything about mill scale in a very simple explanation. Without further discussion let's begin to know what is mill scale?
In the vast realm of industrial processes and materials, there are hidden gems that play crucial roles behind the scenes. One such enigmatic substance is mill scale, a byproduct of various industrial operations. While it might sound obscure, mill scale holds remarkable significance within the world of manufacturing and metallurgy. In this article, we delve into the depths of mill scale, exploring its origins, properties, applications, and its role in shaping industries.
What Is Mill Scale?
Mill scale is a flaky surface layer that forms on the surfaces of steel and iron products during their hot rolling or forging processes. It is primarily composed of iron oxides, with a significant portion being hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4). This layer of scale is a result of the oxidation of iron at elevated temperatures, usually above 570°C (1,058°F).
Formation Process
Mill scale forms as a protective layer on the surface of steel or iron products when they are exposed to high temperatures in various industrial processes, such as hot rolling, continuous casting, and welding. The scale forms as the iron on the surface reacts with oxygen in the air, resulting in the formation of iron oxide compounds. Over time, mill scale can accumulate, creating a distinctive flaky texture on the metal's surface.
Properties And Characteristics
 1. Texture: Mill scale has a unique texture, resembling layers of flakes or scales. These scales can vary in size and thickness, depending on the specific industrial process and the duration of exposure to high temperatures.
 2. Color: The color of mill scale ranges from blue-black to black, often with a metallic sheen. This characteristic coloration is a result of the iron oxide compounds present in the scale.
 3. Adhesion: Mill scale adheres tightly to the metal's surface, creating a protective barrier against corrosion. However, excessive accumulation of scale can also impact the quality of the metal product.
Applications And Utilization
While mill scale is often considered an industrial waste product, it has found a range of practical applications that contribute to various industries:
 1. Iron Production: Mill scale is sometimes recycled back into the iron and steel production process as a source of iron. It can be added to the blast furnace or used in sintering, a process that involves agglomerating iron ore fines with other materials to create pellets suitable for smelting.
 2. Cement Production: Mill scale is used as a source of iron in the cement manufacturing process. It provides the necessary iron content for the formation of clinker, a key ingredient in cement production.
 3. Other Industrial Uses: Mill scale can be used as a raw material in the production of ferrous sulfate, a chemical compound used in water treatment, animal feed, and fertilizer.
Environmental Considerations
While mill scale has various industrial applications, its accumulation can also pose environmental challenges. Proper disposal and management of mill scale are important to prevent its release into the environment, where it could potentially contribute to soil and water pollution.
Conclusion
In the intricate world of industrial processes and materials, mill scale stands as a testament to the ingenuity of human innovation. This unassuming byproduct, with its distinctive texture and color, plays a pivotal role in the production of metals, cement, and chemicals. As industries continue to evolve, the utilization of mill scale exemplifies the resourcefulness in finding value even in seemingly unremarkable materials. So, the next time you come across the intriguing flaky surface of mill scale, you'll have a deeper appreciation for its hidden significance in shaping the modern world.

FAQ
What Is Meant By Mill Scale?
Mill scale is a type of iron oxide that is formed on the surface of the steel during the hot-rolling process. The very high surface temperature combined with high roller pressures result in a smooth, bluish grey surface.
Should I Remove Mill Scale?
If you're a welder or metalworker, mill scale is something to definitely look out for. All types of steel can develop residual mill scale from production. Its presence can contribute to corrosion and can ruin a weld, so it needs to be removed before working with the steel.
Should I Remove Mill Scale Before Painting?
In order for a paint layer to adhere as well as possible, it is very important to first successfully remove any mill scale. For the removal of mill scale prior to the application of a new paint layer, there are several techniques available.
What Is The Difference Between Mill Scale And Rust?
It is not a continuous layer, but rather a thin, uneven coat (1mm thickness or less) of mixed iron oxides that chips easily on contact. Unlike rust, which forms over a long period of exposure to oxygen and moisture, scale forms on all steel and iron products that are hot rolled.

It's not uncommon for people to eat food in accordance with their religious beliefs and culture; the Daniel Diet is a diet based on the Book of Daniel. Many individuals have tried it and found it to be effective, despite what their beliefs may be.
Also known as the Daniel Fast Diet, it is a 21-day partial fast that is said to promote weight loss, boost energy, and general wellness. It has been used and endorsed by celebrities like Chris Pratt and Jimmy Kimmel, and with its interesting history, it just may be the diet for you.
If you are interested in following the Daniel Diet, here's what you should know.
The Daniel Diet is based on a biblical story in the Book of Daniel. Daniel is an Old Testament Prophet placed under King Nebuchadnezzar's rule at a young age.
Verses 1:12-16 describe the diet explaining how Daniel rejects the rich, indulgent food the king offers him, instead choosing foods he feels God intends for consumption. These include fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, and water, and it emphasizes beans as a primary form of protein.
Daniel and his friends follow the diet for ten days and end up healthier and stronger than those around them in both mental and physical capacities.
Today, people use the diet to detox from processed foods. Others follow it to bring them closer to God.
Although the Daniel Diet was inspired by the bible, it was developed by megachurch pastor Rick Warren alongside Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Mark Hyman. Several books have meal plans, recipes, workouts, and other recommendations. You can also order the Daniel Fast package, which includes video lessons, recipes, meal plans, devotions, and live meetings.
Warren said he developed the diet after noticing that many of his congregants were overweight… and so was he. He took inspiration from the bible and decided to give up processed foods and eat plant-based alternatives instead. He ended up losing 60 pounds.
The Daniel Diet includes the following foods:
Here are the foods not to be consumed on the Daniel Diet:
The Daniel Diet offers several benefits. Here are some to consider.
High in Plant-Based Foods That Boost Immunity: The Daniel Diet is high in plant-based foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, and grains. Studies have shown that these can reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes and cancer. They are also high in nutrition to improve heart health and overall wellness.
May Promote Feelings of Fullness: The foods to be eaten on the Daniel Diet are high in fiber, so you feel fuller for longer on less food. This can lead to less snacking between meals, which promotes weight loss. It also supports regularity.
Inexpensive: The diet focuses on beans and lentils, which are inexpensive and easy to use.
While the Daniel Diet offers some benefits, it has its share of downsides. These are as follows.
Highly Restrictive: The diet requires you to eliminate many foods, including meat and dairy. This makes it hard for people to follow.
Religious Undertones Make It Not For Everyone: The Daniel Diet is based on a passage from the bible. Even though people don't have to be religious to follow the diet, its associations may be a turn-off for some individuals.
Cuts Out Nutritious Foods: If you follow the Daniel Diet, you will be missing out on dairy and plant-based proteins, which can negatively affect your nutrition.
May Lead to Digestive Issues: The high fiber content of the Daniel Diet can lead to digestive issues, including bloating, upset stomach, and constipation.
Short-Term: The diet is only meant to be followed for 10-21 days, and it does not set a long-term plan for eating habits. Its limited time frame means it also cannot lead to significant weight loss.
However, the short-term structure can also be beneficial, making it easier to stick to the restrictive diet plan. You can also take elements from the diet to guide you in how you structure your meal routine moving forward.
The Daniel Diet does not require you to measure portions, and you can eat until you feel full. However, it does suggest that you don't eat more than what's required to make you feel satisfied.
The Daniel Diet is not meant to be long-term, and people should stay on it for 10-21 days.
The Daniel Diet is not advertised to be unsafe for pregnant women. However, the limited nutrition makes it inadvisable for pregnant women to follow.
In general, people thinking of following the diet should talk to a medical professional first.
The Daniel Diet has its share of pros and cons. Although it's restrictive, its short-term structure makes it easier to follow. However, it also means it will not produce long-term results. Will you be trying it as part of your temporary dietary routine?

The flying things you see in picture below are actually invisible objects. They only became visible while taking the picture with flashlight.
There is no source of light whatsoever in these two photos, above and below.
(In the photo below, the invisibly flying object no. 2 has a dark spot. It's not in it, it's a pencil on the floor. Its mouth is right in the middle.)
I have argued with my favorite cousin about them. He is a passionate photographer, and that's how I have learned about bokeh. Bokeh is a Japanese word for the (sometimes) so beautifully blurred lights in the out-of focus part of the picture.
Below some beautiful example of a photo made up only of bokeh: part of a Christmas tree taken with the out of focus camera.
Please do note the shape - it has the heptagonal shape of the objective's aperture (f45)
The lens flare is well known. It's the usually annoying light spots which appears when sun or another light source looks directly (or almost) into the objective.
And below an example of the mentioned annoying lens flare (photo taken with a wide angle objective)
These objects you've seen however in the first two photos were neither lens flare nor bokeh. They have appeared in some photos of us, but only in those made with flash. If in the same scenes we made photos without flash too, they simply didn't appear.
And below the lens flare "taken" with a different camera then all the other photos on this page here. The camera obviously has a circular aperture. The light sources are obvious.
Here are some arguments why these flying invisible things are different from bokeh or lens flare
The shape of these flying invisible objects is really circular. Bokeh and lens flare have the same shape as the camera's aperture, e.g. hexagonal. (S. the article Why is the bokeh shaped like the aperture, By a nice coincidence it was posted the day before me writing this article!
No light sources in the photos below
... A final argument: I had two objectives for my Nikon F50 (F for film). I kept them when I changed the camera for my current digital Nikon D50. One objective is a wide angle (w. a hexagonal / 6 sides aperture), the other one is the common, normal f45 one (heptagonal / 7 sides aperture).
In this situation, can you explain me why some bokeh and lens flares are sometimes heptagonal respectively hexagonal, and do appear on the light's path toward the objective (as the photo manual tell them to), why they have no structure but look a pretty much like a solid body – and others have a structure (always the same) and a „mouth" (or several), and appear anywhere in the photo? If they are made with the same objectives, which the are, they should behave the same way!
Because yes, except for the yellowish photo made in the tunnel, all photos on this page are made with the two mentioned normal and wide angle objectives attached on Nikon F or D50.
It seems that those flying invisible things only become visible because of the flashlight being reflected on them.
We had the evidence for this (or something similar) some 15 years before, when or son, by then 4 or 5, was waking in the night, half awake, and was following with his eyes something moving in the air that we could not see. Read the full story here.

Torunn Atteraas Garin, a chemical engineer who worked on notable food projects, died last Friday at her home in Bronxville, N.Y. She was 54 and also had a home on Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands.
She cause was lung cancer, her family said.
Working for General Foods from 1971 to 1985, Mrs. Garin helped develop the sweetener aspartame as a sugar substitute and was a national spokeswoman for the product.
Early in her career, she worked on minimizing water pollution resulting from food production, substituting natural dyes for cancer-causing chemicals and developing a process to extract caffeine from coffee, for which she was awarded two patents.
A native of Bergen, Norway, she studied at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and received a degree in chemical engineering from Columbia in 1971. She received a master's in environmental engineering at what is now Polytechnic University in Brooklyn in 1977.
Mrs. Garin is survived by her husband, Michael N.; their three sons, Kristoffer A. of Manhattan, and Aleksander A. and Nickolas A. of Bronxville; and her sister, Lillian Daviknes of Hvalstad, Norway.Continue reading the main story

FLOWERING TREES IN INDIA(SPRING)
1) GOLDEN SHOWER TREE(Amaltas):
Cassia fistula, known as the golden shower tree and other names, is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to southern Asia, from southern Pakistan east through India to Myanmar and south to Sri Lanka. It is associated with the Mullai region of Sangam landscape. It is the national tree of Thailand, and its flower is Thailand's national flower. It is also state flower of Kerala in India and of immense importance amongst Malayali population. It is a popular ornamental plant and is an herbal medicine.
In Ayurvedic medicine, golden shower tree is known as aragvadha, meaning "disease killer". The root is considered a very strong purgative, and self-medication or any use without medical supervision is strongly advised against in Ayurvedic texts.
Though its use in herbalism has been attested to for millennia, there has been rather little research in modern times. The purgative action is probably due to abundant dihydroxyanthraquinone and derivatives thereof. Many Fabaceae are a source of potent entheogens and other psychoactivecompounds, e.g. tryptamines; such plants are rarely found among the Caesalpinioideae. There is also a rare case of it being used for analautoeroticism.
The golden shower tree is the national flower of Thailand; its yellow flowers symbolize Thai royalty. A 2006-2007 flower festival, the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek, was named after the tree, which is most often called dok khuen orratchaphruek in Thailand. The golden shower tree is the state flower of Kerala in India. The flowers are of ritual importance in the Vishu festival of the Kerala state of India, and the tree was depicted on a 20 Indian rupees stamp. C. fistula is also featured on a 2003 joint Canadian-Thai design for a 48 cent stamp, part of a series featuringnational emblems. Cassia acutifolia, the pudding-pipe tree, furnishes the cassia pods of commerce.
The tree starts flowering in May month.The streets of old Delhi and the other parts of India can be seen with full bloom of thousands of golden yellow Amaltas.
The Blue Jacaranda, Jacaranda mimosifolia more often known simply as the "Jacaranda", is a sub-tropical tree native to South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its beautiful and long-lasting blue flowers. It was introduced to Cape Town by Baron von Ludwigin about 1829. Older sources give it the systematic name Jacaranda acutifolia, but it is nowadays more usually classified as Jacaranda mimosifolia. It is also known as the Black Poui, or as the fern tree. In scientific usage, the name "Jacaranda" refers to the genus Jacaranda, which has many other members, but in horticultural and everyday usage, it nearly always means the Blue Jacaranda.
The Blue Jacaranda has been cultivated in almost every part of the world where there is no risk of frost; established trees can however tolerate brief spells of temperatures down to around −7°C (20°F). In the United States, it grows in parts of Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Florida and has been reported to grow in Lafayette, southern Louisiana, the Mediterranean coast of Spain, in southern Portugal(very noticeably in Lisbon), southern Italy (in Naples and Cagliari it's quite easy to come across beautiful specimens). It is regarded as aninvasive species in parts of South Africa and Queensland, Australia, the latter of which has had problems with the Blue Jacaranda preventing growth of native species. Lusaka, the capital of Zambia also sees the growth of many Jacarandas.
The tree grows to a height of 5 to 15 meters (16 to 49 feet). Its bark is thin and grey-brown in color, smooth when the tree is young though it eventually becomes finely scaly. The twigs are slender and slightly zigzag; they are a light reddish-brown in color. The flowers are up to 5 cm long, and are grouped in 30 cm panicles. They appear in spring and early summer, and last for up to two months. They are followed by woody seed pods, about 5 cm in diameter, which contain numerous flat, winged seeds. The Blue Jacaranda is cultivated even in areas where it rarely blooms, for the sake of its large compound leaves. These are up to 45 cm long and bi-pinnately compound, with leaflets little more than 1 cm long.
In the USA, 30 miles east of Los Angeles where winter temps can dip to 10 degrees F (-12 C) for short several-hour periods, the mature tree survives with little or no visible damage. Profuse flowering is regarded as magnificent by some and quite messy by others. The unusually shaped, tough pods, which are about 2 to 3 inches (5-7.5 cm) across, are often gathered, cleaned and decorated for use on Christmas trees and in dried arrangements.
JACARANDA FESTIVAL AT GRAFTON:
The city of Grafton on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, is also famous for its Jacarandas. Each year in late October and early November the city has a Jacaranda festival during the period of full bloom. A street parade, local public holiday and a series of events are held.It looks like the whole city of Grafton is dressed in purple when it blooms, an spectacular view for the life time.One should be present their to witness the glory of the Jacaranda festival. A Jacaranda Queen and Jacaranda Princess are named at a formal ball.
The history portrays the early festival in 1932 when the festival made its debut in a highly illuminated Jacaranda Avenue which formed the venue for many festivals which followed.
The tree canopies in some of Sydney's north shore and harbour suburbs in the east have a purple glow during late spring.
The main street of the town of Red Cliffs, Victoria, Australia (part of the Calder Highway) was named Jacaranda Street in the original town plans of the early 1920s and Jacaranda trees have since been planted to line this street.
Even in India Jacaranda trees can be found in almost all the parts of the country which blooms in the month of March and stays for couple of weeks.
Tabebuia chrysotricha (Pronunciation: tab-eh-BOO-yuh kriss-oh-TRICK-uh), commonly known as Golden Trumpet Tree, is an evergreen tree from Brazil. It is very similar to and often confused with Tabebuia ochracea. In Portuguese it is called "Ipê amarelo" and is considered the national tree of Brazil.
T. chrisotricha grows to a height of 25 to 35 feet, with a spread of 25 to 35 feet. It has very showy golden-yellow to red flowers in the spring. These are rich in nectar and thus the tree is a useful honey plant. While it is not especially popular with hummingbirds, some of these - e.g.Glittering-bellied Emerald (Chlorostilbon lucidus) and White-throated Hummingbird (Leucochloris albicollis) - seem to prefer them over the flowers of other Tabebuia species.
Tabebuia is widely used as ornamental tree in the tropics in landscaping gardens, public squares, and boulevards due to its impressive and colorful flowering. Many flowers appear on still leafless stems at the end of the dry season, making the floral display more conspicuous. They are useful as honey plants for bees, and are popular with certain hummingbirds. Naturalist Madhaviah Krishnan on the other hand once famously took offense at ipé grown in India, where it is not native.
- "Trumpet tree" redirects here. This term is occasionally used for the Shield-leaved Pumpwood (Cecropia peltata).Tabebuia is a neotropical genus of about 100 species in the tribe Tecomeae of the family Bignoniaceae. The species range from northern Mexico and southern Florida south to northern Argentina, including the Caribbean islands of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic, Haiti), Jamaicaand Cuba. The generic name is derived from words used for the trees by the indigenous peoples of Brazil.Well-known common names include Ipê (commonly misspelled "epay"), Poui, trumpet trees and pau d'arco.Tabebuia is a notable flowering tree. The flowers are 3 to 11 cm (1 to 4 in.) wide and are produced in dense clusters. They present a cupular calyx campanulate to tubular, truncate, bilabiate or 5-lobed. The outside texture of the flower tube is either glabrous or pubescent.4)TABEBUIA IMPETIGINOSA:Tabebuia impetiginosa, Pink Ipê or Pink Lapacho is a native Bignoniaceae tree of America, distributed from northern Mexico south to northern Argentina. It is a common tree in Argentina's northeastern region, as well as in southeastern Bolivia. It is said to be indigenous to Trinidad and Tobago.It is a conspicuous and well-known species with a long history of human use. Consequently it has a range of local names ipê-cavatã,

GEMAS field training, Berlin, March 2008.The GEMAS-Project will uncover new knowledge about the geographical pattern of the chemistry of soils used to produce food, and the project is led by Clemens Reimann, NGU. Clemens managed to obtain substantial industry funding for this project. The European metals industry, represented by EuroMetaux in Brussels, will back this project with 4 x 130.000 Euros, over 4 million NOK.
34 organisations collect samples
34 European Geological Survey Organisations have agreed to collect samples of arable land (ploughing layer, 0-20 cm) and of land under permanent grass cover (0-10 cm) at a density of 1 site per 2500 km2 in their territory. The total area covered will be about 5.8 Million km2. The project is a continuation and extension of the Baltic Soil Survey which resulted in a very successful geochemical atlas that is one of the few geochemical atlasses that is sold out.
Further exciting projects
The EuroGeoSurveys Geochemistry working group had a meeting in Berlin from March 5-7, 2008. This meeting was used to discuss two further exiting projects of the group. Variation of chemical elements in European groundwater is determined using commercial mineral water samples from all over Europe. The samples will all be analysed at the laboratories of BGR for more than 60 elements.
European groundwater atlas
Many participants travelled to the meeting with quite heavy baggage full of mineral water bottles. Results are expected at the end of this year and the group hopes to be able to publish a first atlas of "European Groundwater Quality" during 2009. Some first interesting results about the influence of the different bottle materials on the analytical results are already submitted for publication.
This project is jointly led by Manfred Birke of BGR and Clemens Reimann of NGU.

Please explain
Can you please explain why B ic correct? If the temperature in Charlesville drops at night, wouldn't that explain why average residents of Charlesville spends 10 to 20 percent more on winter heating expenses than the average resident of Taychester?

Irina on August 21, 2019
(B) does not help because we are talking about relative temperatures, and the stimulus tells us that "the temperature in T is always at least 10 degrees lower than in C", so even if temperatures in C drop steeply at night, T is still 10 degrees colder than C, so why are C residents paying more for heating than C? Also, night temperatures are irrelevant to winter heating expenses.
Let me know if you have any further questions.


NYC Wi-Fi Hotspots Interactive Visualization
December 14, 2018 - All
Image result for NYC wifi hotspots locations
Click to see the finalized NYC Wi-Fi hotspots interactive visualization in Tableau Public.
The project is to visualize the WiFi hotspots in New York City, which is the extension from my fourth lab project. Public WiFi hotspots are physical locations where people can obtain Internet access. They usually created by a business for public use, often found at airports, libraries, train stations, etc. The public can access the wireless connection by using a laptop or other suitable portable device, which is really beneficial that public like budget-tight students can gain tremendously from it. Even though public WiFi hotspots cannot guarantee the reliability and have some risks such as low security and low speed, they become more and more important in the modern society since the internet has become the basic amenities for the modern public.
For this project, based on the dataset—NYC WiFi Hotspot Locations from NYC Open Data, I aim to create an interactive visualization that can inform people of the exact locations of the WiFi hotspots in New York City, supported by analyses of the properties and configuration of the hotspots. By using Tableau Public, I intend to build a useful tool that people can search a specific WiFi hotspot and know its properties that may be helpful for them to plan to go.
1. Exploring deeply the dataset and deciding the design directions for the visualizations.
I first tried to find the data that have some degrees of relationship in between and may deliver useful information. For example, I found the data "postcode" and "number of records" may help to advise the number of hotspots in a region; I can use "location type" and "provider" to tell what the WiFi location type the provider supports. Ultimately, I decided to use the five primary data—"provider", "location", "location types", "connection types", "number of records", and "postcode" to form the four design directions:
 - The providers' hotspot locations
 - The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
 - WiFi connection types supported by providers
 - WiFi location types and their connection types
2. Grouping the data that is trivial
Before I started visualizing, I found the data "location type" contains some insignificant information that may not be useful or too trivial for people to know when searching a specific WiFi hotspot. For example, in the following picture, the data "indoor ap – community center – computer rm" includes too much minor details. Therefore, by using the internal grouping function from Tableau, I grouped them into four big categories and created another column for the new location types—indoor, outdoor, library, and subway station.
Figure 1. The original location types vs. new location types
3. Creating the visualizations respectively based on the four directions
A. The providers' hotspot locations
This is the main visualization for people. People can use it as a tool to locate a specific WiFi hotspot, knowing its provider, connection type, and location type. To best inform the locations, I created a dot map. Each dot is a WiFi hotspot location, and people can know the exact address of each hotspot with the tooltip when hovering over the dot. Also, I applied different colors with the color legend to differentiate the providers. In addition, to enhance the usability, I added the three filters—connection type, provider, and location type, so that people can quickly locate the WiFi hotspots they want by using these filters.
Figure 2. The providers' hotspot locations
B. The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
I used the postcode to create a choropleth map that reveals the average values of the regional number of WiFi hotspots with the hue progression. The darker color means the more numbers of WiFi hotspots in the region. When hovering over a region, people can know the postcode and number of hotspots in the region with the tooltip. I think people may get a sense of how WiFi hotspots distribute in New York City through this map.
Figure 3. The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
C. WiFi connection types supported by providers
I think the bar chart is the best way that people can compare different values at a glance. Providers are on the vertical y-axis, and the x-axis is the number of hotspots. Besides, I used different colors to represent different connection types that the provider supports. From this bar chart, people can know that most of the providers set up free connections and LinkNYC has the most numbers of free WiFi hotspots. I also created a connection type filter for people if they would like to see only one type of connection in a one time on the bar chart.
Figure 4. WiFi connection types supported by providers
D. WiFi location types and their connection types
I think location type is also an important point that people may concern when seeking WiFi hotspots. Same as the above, I also used a bar chart with connection type category to compare the four types of locations. The result uncovers that most of the WiFi hotspots are outdoor and over half of them are free.
Figure 5. WiFi location types and their connection types
4. Integrating the four graphs
I integrated the four graphs in the Tableau dashboard together and made the main three filters—provider, location type, and connection type applied to the four graphs that use these three data sources so that these four will vary at the same time when people apply the filters. With this way, I think people can gain more comprehensive information when interacting with the visualization.
Figure 6. Integrating the four graphs
1. Methodologies
After the interactive visualization was ready, I would like to know how ease of use of the interactive visualization was, so I started to prepare the usability testing and would like to see how people would interact with it.
For the testing, I built two versions of the interactive visualizations. One was with normal three main filters; another was to use the two bar charts as filters.
The aimed audience of the visualization can be anyone who seeks WiFi hotspots near his place or the target place. Therefore, I recruited three students to participate the usability testing and prepared to ask them to do the following tasks based on the two versions of visualizations—
A. Take a moment to explore the visualization and let me know what do you learn from each graph.
B. You are seeking AT&T WiFi outdoor free hotspots only and would like to know which region has the most number of this hotspots.
C. You are a commuter, seeking WiFi hotspots in subway stations. How many numbers of the subway hotspots in New York City? What's the connection type of the subway hotspots?
After the participants achieved these tasks, I asked them the following post-task questions—
A. How easy is the visualization to understand? (Rating from 1 to 5, 1 = difficult, 5 = pretty easy)
B. Any frustration that can be further improved?
2. Findings and improvements
Participants all think that the interactive visualization version A is easy to use and straightforward to comprehend the information from the four graphs, while the version B with two bar charts as filters is problematic even though the layout looks nicer and cleaner than the version A. Participants didn't know that the two bar charts are filters at the first glance and didn't realize how to return back once they clicked a specific bar in the graph. That means the usability of version B is pretty low. Participants even could not complete the tasks, so I decided to choose version A as the final visualization and some details can be further improved.
A. The title of each graph should be general to tell the main information.
One of the participants was confused about the titles for the two bar charts because he could not differentiate the main information of these two bar charts if he just looked at the title. For example, the title, location types and connection types, is not clear for him to know what the main information of the graph is.
Figure 7. The titles of the graphs are not clear to tell the main information.
Therefore, I renamed the title to only one main information that I would like to deliver to the audience, so I changed "providers and connection types" to "providers", and "location types and connection types" to " location types". The connection types on these bar charts are the supplement and secondary information.
Figure 8. New titles for the bar charts
B. The application of the filters should be obvious
According to the feedback from the participants, they originally thought that the filters were only for the dot map, so they feel surprised that the filters actually can be applied to the four graphs. I think it is maybe because the filters are all clustered next to the dot map.
Figure 9. All filters are clustered next to the dot map
To make the application of the filters more distinct, I tried to make each filter separated from each other, having gaps between them. In this way, I think it would be better to understand that the filters are for controlling the four graphs.
Figure 10. Filters are separated and have gaps between them.
C. Keeping color consistency is good but should care about not to mislead.
I kept the same colors for the choropleth map and the two bar charts. It looks nice but it actually would cause the misunderstanding. One of the participants thought that the color in the choropleth map had the same meaning as the bar charts, stating the dark blue means the region has more limited free WiFi hotspots.
Figure 11. Same colors in different graphs may have different meanings.
Thus, I changed the color progression to green in the choropleth map, hoping it won't be mixed up with the meaning of the colors in the two bar charts.

Abstract
The elastic behavior of solids with a large concentration of interacting point defects has been analyzed. The analysis predicts that, in such solids, mechanical stress may be partially relieved by a shift in the association/dissociation equilibrium of the point defects. Association/dissociation of the point defects in response to an external stress will proceed until the decrease in elastic energy is balanced by the increased chemical energy of the defect distribution. The resulting change in the linear dimensions may be called "chemical strain", in analogy to the previously studied "chemical stress". A solid in which chemical strain may develop in response to external stress should exhibit two distinct Young's moduli: relaxed, on a time scale which allows the defects to reach equilibrium; and unrelaxed, on a time scale which is too short for the defect equilibrium to be established. Our analysis suggests that materials exhibiting the chemical-strain effect are capable of reversible adaptation to external mechanical constraints. Measurements on a self-supported film of Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 strongly support the theoretical predictions.

Let $\epsilon_0$ be the fixed positive constant such that $F_0 := \{ y \mid b(y) < \epsilon_0\}$ is nonempty and bounded. Fix $z\in F_0$. Then we have that if $y \in Y \setminus F_0$, $b(y) - b(z) \geq \epsilon_0 - b(z) =: \delta_0 > 0$.
By assumption $F_0$ is bounded, hence there exists $C > 0$ such that $B_C(z) \supset F_0$. (Here I take $B_C(z)$ to be the open ball; a simple modification of the following argument also allows for closed balls.)
Let $c = \frac{\delta_0}{2C}$. Now we verify this choice of $C$ and $c$ is good.
Given $y \in Y\setminus B_C(z)$, let $\tilde{y} = \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (y-z) + z$. By convexity of the function $b$ we have that
$$ \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (b(y) - b(z)) + b(z) \geq b(\tilde{y}) \geq b(z) + \delta_0 $$
Hence we have that
$$ b(y) - b(z) \geq \frac{\delta_0}{C} \|y-z\| > \frac{\delta_0}{2C} \|y-z\| = c \| y - z\| $$
as claimed.

According to tradition, the monastery of Moutiers-Saint-Jean was founded by the first Christian kings of France, Clovis I and his son Clothar I. They are almost certainly depicted in the standing figures presenting their charters, now installed in the embrasures on either side of the portal. The small seated figures in the flanking niches represent biblical personages believed to prefigure or foretell Christ's Crucifixion. The tympanum above the doorway depicts Christ crowning the Virgin as the Queen of Heaven. This portal, probably from the north aisle of the cloister, would have led from the monastic precinct into the abbey church. The portal suffered severe damage during the sixteenth-century Wars of Religion; the heads of the two kings may have been repaired in the seventeenth century.

Setting Up Symbol Server in Debugger
Debug symbols allow you to have better debugging sessions. They have information about the functions contained in executables and dynamic libraries and provide you with information to get clean call stacks. A Symbol Server allows the debugger to load the correct symbols, binaries and sources automatically without forcing users to download large debugging files. The server functions like Microsoft's symbol server so the documentation there can be useful.
Note that because released Electron builds are heavily optimized, debugging is not always easy. The debugger will not be able to show you the content of all variables and the execution path can seem strange because of inlining, tail calls, and other compiler optimizations. The only workaround is to build an unoptimized local build.
The official symbol server URL for Electron is You cannot visit this URL directly, you must add it to the symbol path of your debugging tool. In the examples below, a local cache directory is used to avoid repeatedly fetching the PDB from the server. Replace c:\code\symbols with an appropriate cache directory on your machine.
Using the Symbol Server in Windbg
The Windbg symbol path is configured with a string value delimited with asterisk characters. To use only the Electron symbol server, add the following entry to your symbol path (Note: you can replace c:\code\symbols with any writable directory on your computer, if you'd prefer a different location for downloaded symbols):
Set this string as _NT_SYMBOL_PATH in the environment, using the Windbg menus, or by typing the.sympath command. If you would like to get symbols from Microsoft's symbol server as well, you should list that first:

'Pulp-Based Computing' Makes Normal Paper Smart
New Scientist (09/19/07) Inman, Mason
MIT researchers are developing technology that could be used to make paper embedded with wires, sensors, and computer chips, creating "pulp-based" computing. MIT researchers, working with colleagues at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, are blending traditional paper-making techniques with electronic components.
MIT researcher Marcelo Coelho says paper-making is an ancient process, but the ability to make paper responsive and interactive has only recently become available. The team first produces a layer of paper pulp and adds wires or conductive ink before adding another layer of pulp and pressing and drying, embedding the electronics in the paper. The electronics in the paper can create paper with speakers or touch sensors.
Making paper with two layers of conductive ink allows the paper to sense when it is being bent, which could be used to add sounds to books, creating a more interactive form of story telling. This technique could also be used to make cardboard boxes that can sense how much weight is inside them by measuring the stress on their walls.
"Paper-based computation is an expression of one future area for electronics–flexible and stretchable circuits," says Jean-Baptiste Labrune of the University of Paris-Sud in Orsay, France. "This means that we could think about computational objects without the traditional limits of electronics."


When to use self.myInstanceVariable and when to use _myInstanceVariable
Here's a question I've had a few times so here are some simple rules. But, first a quick explanation.
self.myTitle means you're accessing an instance variable that has been created using an @property such as:
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *myTitle;
Unless you're doing something special (see an earlier post) what @property does is create getters / setters and an instance variable. Xcode prefixes the instance variable with an underscore.
Note that if you needed this to be differently named you would need to use @synthesize to manually set it however, you need a very good reason. By auto-generating instance variables with a leading underscore (now the convention for instance variable naming), Xcode makes @synthesize unnecessary.
So, if you don't have any requirements for getters/setters (and have therefore not used @property) then you don't have the option of using self.myTitle. You would simply access it using:
myTitle = @"some title";
Typically you would do this when you just want to create a local variable.
However, if you are using an @property then you would access this instance variable using getters:
someLabel.text = self.myTitle;
If you had to access the instance variable directly then you would use the underscore prefix to access it:
someLabel.text = _myTitle;
However, you need to have a good reason to use an instance variable this way. An example would be in a dealloc method when you don't know the state of your object and so getters/setters would work in unknown ways. However, with the introduction of ARC much of the code in books and on the internet with the dealloc method becomes defunct.

When someone writes totally in capital letters it's because they don't want who they truly are to be seen. They may well be totally unaware that that is why they are doing it, but that doesn't change the fact that it is!
People who are just looking for clarity sometimes print. Engineers, accountants, architects are some of the employment groups who very often print because exactness and accuracy are so important in their line of work.
However, capital letters provide no further clarity than printing, so all caps is not done for clarity.
The least possible is revealed from writing in all capitals. Printing shows less than script, but when all the writing is in capitals, it hides even more.
Most handwritten ransom notes, for example, are written in all capitals!
This of course does not mean that everyone who writes in all caps is engaged in something nefarious, or even dishonest. But it does mean they do not want to give too much of themselves away.
You can get something from writing that is all capitals however.
For example, the slant will still tell you the emotional make up of the writer (the farther to the right, the more the emotional expression), and the heaviness of the writing will still tell you how deeply emotions affect this writer.
There are a few other indications that will still show through in all capital writing, however, the main thing to think about is that this person, knowingly or unknowingly, is hiding themselves away.
The question is "why?"

Boundary conditions are important because significant subsets of boundary condition failures are security failures. As such, the boundary conditions we don't test today are the security patches we'll have to issue tomorrow. An effective way to limit border vulnerabilities is ttesting via fuzzing. This highly automated testing technique can cover large numbers of boundary cases using invalid data (from files, network protocols, and other targets) as application input. This article shows how fuzzing often works well when techniques such as functional testing would be cost prohibitive.

text: We present late-time follow-up of the relativistic tidal disruption flare (rTDF) candidate Swift J1112.2-8238. We confirm the previously determined redshift of z = 0.8900 +/- 0.0005 based on multiple emission line detections. Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the host galaxy indicates a complex and distorted morphology with at least two spatially distinct components. These are offset in velocity space by less than 350 km s(-1) in VLT/X-Shooter observations, suggesting that the host is undergoing interaction with another galaxy. The transient position is consistent to 2.2 sigma with the centre of a bulge-like component at a distance of 1.1 +/- 0.5 kpc from its centre. Luminous, likely variable radio emission has also been observed, strengthening the similarities between Swift J1112.2-8238 and other previously identified rTDFs. While the transient location is similar to 2 sigma from the host centroid, the disrupted nature of the host may provide an explanation for this. The tidal disruption model remains a good description for these events.


The prefixes hyper-, super-, and ultraseems all has meaning 'transcend' or 'upper class' and can all be translated to '超'. But they have a bit difference, e.g. hypergiant is larger than supergiant; hypersonic is faster than supersonic; superhigh frequency is higher than ultrahigh frequency.
So my question is what is the precise translation of them?
In colloquial English, these words all mean pretty much the same thing (though hyperis used rather infrequently) so using 超 interchangeably shouldn't be much of a concern.
With regard to academic terminology, your best bet is to look up the specific term in question. One easy way to do this is to find the corresponding wikipage in English, and then click 中文 on the sidebar.
For example, in the case of hypergiant vs supergiant, hyperis translated as 特超, while superis translated as 超.
Similarly, for sonic we have hyperas 超高 and superas 超.
Finally, for high frequency, we have superbecoming 超高, and ultrabecoming 特高.
All of the above translations were found using the aforementioned wikipage method. From just these few examples, though, we quickly conclude that there is no single translation of the three prefixes at hand.
In fact, hypersonic and super high frequency both use the same prefix (超高) as do hypergiant and ultra high frequency (特高).
Thus, unfortunately, a precise translation must be done on a case by case basis.
 - Firstly thank you. In addition, I'm considering about the translation about hyperman, superman and ultraman. 'Superman' is already translated to '超人'; 'ultraman' is '奧特曼'. It seems '曼' is the transliteration of'man', '奧特' seems '特神秘'. For 'hyperman', it seems has not been translated currently, but '特超人' seems a proper translation. – Popopo Nov 14 '12 at 10:30
 - "奥特" was almost certainly chosen as a transliteration of ultra. – user2251 Nov 14 '12 at 17:30
The Taiwanese youth love to pair 超 up with adjectives to give a more colloquial, dramatic flavor
超好 = awesome
超级 = super
超累 = dead tired
超无聊 = completely boring, (but also can mean "so lame")

Note: The following is an unedited press release from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2021 – USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will mail its first Hemp Acreage and Production Survey to 20,500 producers across the nation, beginning Oct. 18. The hemp survey will collect information on the total planted and harvested area, yield, production, and value of hemp in the United States.
"This inaugural hemp survey will establish a necessary benchmark and provide critically-needed data for the hemp industry," said NASS Acting Administrator Kevin Barnes. "The information collected can help inform producers' decisions about growing, harvesting, and selling hemp as well as the type of hemp they decide to produce. The resulting data will also foster greater understanding of the hemp production landscape across regulatory agencies, producers, state and Tribal governments, processors, and other key industry entities."
Survey recipients are asked to respond securely online at agcounts.usda.gov, using the 12-digit survey code mailed with the survey, or to mail completed questionnaires back in the prepaid envelope provided, by Oct. 25.
As defined in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill), the term "hemp" means the plant species Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant such as the seeds, all derivatives, and extracts, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. The Domestic Hemp Production Program established in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill) allows for the cultivation of hemp under certain conditions.
All information reported by individuals will be kept confidential, as required by federal law. NASS will publish the survey results Feb. 17, 2022, on the NASS website and in the NASS Quick Stats searchable database. For more information about the Hemp Acreage and Production Survey, visit the hemp web page. For assistance with the survey, producers can call _PHONE_.
NASS is the federal statistical agency responsible for producing official data about U.S. agriculture and is committed to providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.

The Old Colony Building was designed and constructed between 1893 and 1894 by the architectural firm of Holabird and Roche. As Chicago School architects, they sought to reveal the character of the steel skeletal structure while cladding their buildings with an appropriate surface. The 17-story steel frame building is sheathed in Bedford limestone on the first three floors and by gray brick and terra cotta above that. A two-story colonnade runs along the 15th and 16th floors with a cornice crowning the 17th floor. Oriel windows project from every corner of the building from the third story to the cornice. The design's unity derives from the repetition of Chicago windows along the second floor and in the center bay of the north facade. Variety is found in the contrast between the horizontal stress of the narrow north facade and the distinct vertical thrust of the long east and west facades.
The facade of the Old Colony Building has remained intact, although major alterations to the interior have occurred on the ground floor. The lobby's original surfaces and stairs have all been replaced and the open cages of the elevators have been enclosed.
The Old Colony Building is located at 407 S. Dearborn St. and the lobby and some offices within are open to the public.

Create Database-driven Resource Bundles with Java and MySQL [con't]
Creating a DBResourceBundle
As I explained in my Isolate Translatable Text in XML Files Using the Java 6 ResourceBundle.Control Class article, instantiation of a resource bundle is generally handled by the newBundle() method of the ResourceBundle.Control class. The advantage of overriding the newBundle() method is that it allows you to customize the default implementation of bundle instantiation to suit your specific needs. In this section, you will establish a connection to the database as you did previously so that you can populate ResourceBundles from your resource_bundle table. To fetch data from the table, you need to use the Connection object's createStatement(int resultSetType, int resultSetConcurrency) method. The resultSetType parameter can be ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, or ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE. You only need to scroll forward. The resultSetConcurrency can either be ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY or ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE. You can make yours read only, as you aren't modifying any data.
String Utilities
Working with databases requires you to pay special attention to strings. A common mistake is to insert a variable into a table like so:
Without performing some kind of filtering on the variables, there is nothing to escape single quotes from the names. Notice the extra quote in the following SQL statement:
You will use three specialized string utilities to optimize the generation of SQL: StrngBuilder, StringUtils, and StringEscapeUtils.
The StringBuilder is used to construct the query string, as it is designed for use as a replacement for StringBuffer in places where the string buffer is used by a single thread (as is generally the case). The Java docs recommended using this class instead of StringBuffer because it is faster under most implementations.
The StringUtils object is included with the MySQL Connector/J driver. Its static isNullOrEmpty() method replaces the cumbersome (somevalue == null || somevalue = "") test.
The StringEscapeUtils is what escapes special characters from query variables. It is a third-party utility included in the org.apache.commons.lang3 package, which is available from their site. Like MySQL Connector/J, the commons-lang-2.5.jar file must be copied to the your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory or added to your CLASSPATH environment variable.
Fetching the Properties
An if statement adds criteria to the query string based on the locale info provided. The completed SQL statement is then executed and stored in a Resultset object. You can then iterate through the results using the method and add the name/value pairs to the Properties. Finally, the connection is closed and a new DBResourceBundle is instantiated with the Properties object. Here is the complete code for the newBundle() method:
That's enough coding for one session. I believe that I hear a latte calling. In this information-packed article, you learned how to communicate between Java and a MySQL database using the MySQL Connector/J driver. You also created a test database and table, reviewed some specialized string utilities and overrode the newBundle() method to fetch locale-aware strings from a database. My Next article will walk through creating the DBResourceBundle class and creating a test program that will output text for different locales to illustrate what is happening behind the scenes. Last but not least, I'll discuss some ways to fine tune the loading of your ResourceBundles using the getCandidateLocales() method.
