Harmful impacts of parthenium weed, also called congress grass or gajar grass, were highlighted during the week-long 'Parthenium Awareness Week' conducted by School of Agriculture, Shoolini University.
Plans for controlling the noxious weed, which is spreading at a very fast pace across the country, were discussed by progressive farmers, students and faculty members of the University. The weed is adversely affecting environment and health in general and agriculture land in particular.
During the week long campaign, the faculty and students were sensitised to eradicate and use the weed for compost through onsite demonstrations. They also participated in uprooting the weed in and around the campus.
Such awareness events were organised simultaneously at the national level from August 16 to 22.
On the opening day Dr. Y.S Negi, Dean, School of Agriculture welcomed the Chief guest Dr. P.K Khosla, Vice Chancellor of the University, Dr. Sunil Puri Registrar and Dr. D.R Sharma former Dean Bio-technology and Deans and Directors of the University.
Expert lectures on harmful effects and biocontrol of Parthenium were delivered by Dr. Lobzang Stanzen and Dr. Amit Kumar, respectively for the benefit of the participants. In his inaugural address, Prof Khosla emphasised that the spread of Parthenium is a serious problem affecting the society adversely which needs to be eradicated through concerted efforts.
The inaugural session was followed by field visits in and around the University campus for demonstration of uprooting the weed by taking appropriate precautionary measures. The field visits were conducted by the faculty of school of agriculture namely Dr. G.K Sharma, Dr. K. Kumar, Dr. S.K Gupta, Dr. Ashutosh Mohanty, Dr. Lobzang Stanzen, Dr. Amit Kumar, Dr. Mansoor Ali, Dr. Salena Janjua and Dr. Saloni Thakur.
Speaking to the participants, Dr Negi said it was a fast growing notorious weed and one-time measure will not suffice to check its growth. The school plans to make people aware of the weed and at the same time make sure that the university farms were free of parthenium. He said timely action to weed it out at the initial stage of its growth will be taken.
Dr. G. K Sharma, Director Extension Education, who was the chief guest at the concluding day, emphasised on the importance of the eradication of the dreaded weed and appealed to make it a regular feature. During the campaign, several villages were covered to create awareness on eradication of parthenium.


text: It looks like I see what the problem is. You probably don't quite understand that in quantum chemistry you cannot fix charge on any atom (unlike molecular mechanics). When you remove (or add) an electron from one atom of the entire system, the electron density redistributes in a uniform way. So, you may speak only about overall charge of the system. You may further decompose the resulting electron density into atomic contributions using some procedure (say, Mulliken, Lowdin, NBO, or Bader), but these will be partial charges. Imagine communicating vessels: you cannot take some water from one of them while leaving the water level in the other one intact; the levels immediately become even. Think of electron density as some sort of liquid in a vessel made of nuclear potential.

A solar-powered irrigation system handed over in Khost province
The National Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Irrigation Program (Ru-WatSIP) of Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) constructed and handed over a solar-powered irrigation system, aimed at watering the trees of Matun Recreational Park which is located in Matun area in Center of Khost province,
This solar-operated water supply project included digging of a 73-meters deep well, laying out of 2,000-meter long pipe network, construction of a 60,000-cubic meters reservoir and installation of 16 taps, 27 solar panels and pump. The project cost four million AFN which were funded through the State budget by Ministry of Finance (MoF),
With the completion of this project, irrigation water was provided for 7,000 pine trees and many rural families have gotten access to drinking water.


Q&A |
José Gabriel Macías Montero and José Manuel Soria, scientists with entrepreneurial ambitions
The Collider aims to bridge the gap between science and corporations, encouraging tech-transfer initiatives like those of scientists José Gabriel Macías Montero, Co-Founder of Deep Detection, and José Manuel Soria, Co-founder of Exheus. We spoke to them about their experience as scientists at The Collider and how the programme helped them to launch their two successful businesses.
José Gabriel Macías Montero's company, Deep Detection, develops multispectral x-ray cameras for food and beverage inspection.
Can you explain how you got into biomedical research?
I started off designing microwave circuits for mobiles and satellites before taking an opportunity to work at the High Energy Physics Institute in Barcelona, developing a chip for PET brain scanners.
And how did that lead to the launch of Deep Detection?
Both projects were to do with high-energy particle detection. But, with Deep Detection, we use X-ray detection to discriminate between certain food or drink materials, allowing manufacturers to evaluate how much salt there is in ham – for example – or if there are any contaminants in a drink, or even how ripe fruit is. This allows us to access a lot more information about raw materials, which could revolutionise the food and drinks industry.
What made you choose to collaborate with The Collider?
We knew that our technology had huge potential and we wanted to do something with it. I hadn't heard about the programme before but when I was told about it, I knew it was the missing link and a great opportunity for us.
How has The Collider helped to bridge the gap between science and industry?
It's so difficult to turn science and research into something you can market. There's less of a gap with digital technologies, but for hardware and other systems, there's no road to follow or examples to learn from. Finding investment can be challenging, no matter how good your idea is. You might know for a fact that the market needs you, but how do you get there?
This is where a programme like The Collider comes in, which can offer access to commercial expertise, helping you to develop business operations and get your feet on the ground. They say, 'Your idea is great. Let's see how the market likes it too.'
How did The Collider help to turn your research's practical applications into reality?
The Collider helped us to connect with the market. From day one, they found the project very interesting and the feedback was very positive. In fact, in the first weeks, they contacted sixty different companies and half of those gave an immediate response.
The Collider also taught us to focus on end-users – those companies that might be able to use our inspection machines. We were able to learn about these end-users and how we could target them and bring our technology to market.
What opportunities did you gain from being part of The Collider?
The Collider provides a means to expand your network, allowing you to meet other people and see other projects. You work in a very close environment with other start-ups. This creates a fertile ecosystem for communication and idea generation.
Would you collaborate with The Collider again?
I would recommend it 100% when it comes to bringing science or technology to market. The business professionals at The Collider are very knowledgeable. They are able to say, 'this bit of your project is good but we need to work on this bit…'
José Manuel Soria's platform Exheus provides gene expression analysis and AI for better performance and health.
Can you tell us a bit about the work you do and how you got started?
We started off by investigating the genome of runners. We wanted to see if running a certain distance was healthy or not based on the expression of the genome just before and just after the race.
The research showed that this was a very powerful approach to evaluating health. Today, we are applying this understanding to the general population. It's a remarkable change in our health paradigm. Usually, we study diseases and ill people. With this approach, we study health and healthy people. Why are some people healthy? What are the biological conditions that keep us healthy?
Is there a gap between scientists and industry in your field and why?
There is definitely a gap, especially in the field of personalised medicine. Everyone's talking about it but not many people understand what it is. This is because scientists and business people don't speak the same language.
But The Collider is helping to bridge this gap. Teresa, Exheus Chief Executive Officer and Collider Co-Founder, is a great example. She's a scientist that has made the jump into business. That means we speak the same language.
How did The Collider help to turn your science into a reality?
The Collider helped us to make the transition to the market, giving us access to a network of professionals. We were able to meet other teams and learn how to build a successful company. This network is one of the programme's strongest advantages.
Why is Barcelona a good place to be based for these tech-transfer initiatives?
Barcelona is one of the most important hubs for health companies in Southern Europe. We have some of the most cutting-edge hospitals, health-related companies, and pharmaceutical enterprises. And, of course, good weather!
How was your work with The Collider received within the scientific community in Barcelona?
We had a very good reception from investors. People understand that we need to make personalised medicine a reality today. Last year, we even received an award for our innovative work.
Would you collaborate with The Collider again?
We participated twice with The Collider on two consecutive programmes and we were able to improve the relationship. The Collider did a great job on taking our feedback on board and, the second time we took part, they had changed and adapted the programme to better suit our needs.
It's a great programme for a scientist to get business training and learn to speak the language of business. The programme is bringing together the two distinct worlds of science and industry, and has proven capacity to keep improving, adapting, and changing.


When six-year-old Lauren Rudolph was rushed to the hospital with severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, and fever, doctors were mystified as to the cause of her sudden and terrifying symptoms. Just five days later Lauren would become the first victim of a mysterious bacterial pathogen. Hundreds of sick children began to show up at hospitals across the Western states, three more children died.

After frantic research, health officials managed to trace the deadly outbreak to a singlesource: undercooked hamburgers eaten at the popular fast-food chain Jack in the Box.
Back in 1993, no one had ever heard of E. coli. Food poisoning might give you a stomachache but it wasn't regarded as life-threatening, and no one dreamed that giving a child ahamburger could have deadly consequences. The alarming E. coli outbreak that began withLauren Rudolph opened America's eyes to the dangers of undercooked meat, touching off amedia and political frenzy that would revolutionize the way we eat.
"The Jack in the Box outbreak is considered the meat industry's wake-up call," says bestselling author Jeff Benedict. "As soon as hamburgers killed kids, everything changed." Benedict conducted over 250 on-the-record interviews and poured over thousands of pages of documents to produce an incredible behind-the-scenes account of the Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak. Benedict chronicles how this outbreak, apart from causing severe injury, challenged everyone affected; from the group of doctors who had never seen a case of E. coli to the Jack in the Box executives who had to quickly devise new industry safety standards that went way beyond what any other restaurant chain had done previously or see their business fail.
In POISONED Jeff Benedict expertly guides readers through the unprecedented political and legal battle that followed America's largest outbreak of foodborne illness to date, told through the eyes of a vividly drawn cast of characters:
 - Roni Rudolph, the determined mother of the first E. coli victim, who would go on to become a food safety activist.
 - Bob Nugent, the blindsided CEO of Jack in the Box who never dreamed that undercooked meat could kill.
 - Brianne Kiner, a little girl sickened with E. coli who miraculously recovered from the brink of death, and her mother Suzanne Kiner, a woman determined to make the food industry listen to her daughter's story.
 - Dave Theno, the scientist hired by Jack in the Box to design new safety procedures for the entire industry.
 - Bob Piper, Jack-in-the-Box's larger-than-life defense attorney.
 - Bill Marler, the young maverick lawyer representing Brianne Kiner, whose audacious and unconventional tactics would win her the largest class action settlement in Washington state history.
Painstakingly researched and gut-wrenchingly immediate, POISONED tells the story of a pivotal moment in American history, one that graphically demonstrated the dangers of food-borne illness and would leave the food industry forever changed. Part investigative journalism and part legal thriller, POISONED is the definitive chronicle of the 1993 food poisoning drama that gripped the nation.

The Sierra School at Main Street is an in-district model working in partnership with St. Vrain Valley School District. The program services students in grades k–12 with autism spectrum exceptionalities and specific learning disabilities.
At Sierra, we take an individualized approach to educating students with specific eligibilities, which starts with building strong foundational skills in the areas of language, visual performance, and fine and gross motor skills. Our approach is informed by the belief that it is common to find defined splinter skills in children and adolescents with autism and SLD, as well as a large "gap" between receptive and expressive language skills—a gap that hinders social abilities and can lead to maladaptive behaviors. Consequently, the Sierra School consistently works to bridge this gap by expediting acquisition of skills and increasing our students' awareness of their surroundings. To accomplish this, we employ a rotational model of instruction whereby students move about their educational space, alternating among specific learning modalities and diversifying their settings, all of which supports faster generalization of skills.
Our rotational system consists of DTT (Discrete Trial Training) sessions, life skills training, social skills lab and motor lab work, NET (Natural Environment Teaching), instruction in designated academic blocks, activity schedules, and independent play and leisure time. Each rotation is designed to progressively build on the last level of skills and inform the next level. For example, what is taught in DTT serves as a building block for the social skills lab, which in turn is generalized into the NET room, which itself is generalized into routine components of the day (e.g., recess, lunch, transitional times) and eventually to real-world encounters. Ultimately, this progression of skills leads to two long-term goals: (1) the ability to participate, function, and demonstrate independence in the general public; and (2) the ability to transition students to a more general academic setting.

STAAD.Pro Help
P. Earthquake workflow
This STAAD.Pro workflow is used to check if the structure conforms to the basic geometric recommendations made in Eurocode 8 (EC8). This workflow is in addition to the normal post-processing workflow which gives the various analysis results. These checks are intended to give you a "feel" for the structure and are not mandatory to proceed to the design phase.
Eurocode 8: Part 1 [EN 1998-1-1:2004] contains specific requirements and recommendations for building structures that are to be constructed in seismic regions. Essentially, these fundamental requirements have been provided to ensure that the structures can sustain the seismic loads without collapse and also –where required– avoid suffering unacceptable damage and can continue to function after an exposure to a seismic event.
ヒント: The program feature assumes Y as vertical and that seismic forces act in the global X and Z directions.

COMSOL Multiphysics® version 5.5 includes several updates to meshing and mesh preparation, including surface mesh editing tools, support for PLY and 3MF files, and a new method for generating curved elements. View all of the mesh updates below.
Direct Meshing of Imported Surface Meshes
You can now generate a tetrahedral mesh directly from an imported surface mesh, that is, without creating an intermediate geometry in a separate component, as was necessary in previous versions of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.
Create Meshes from Filter Datasets
The Import operation for mesh parts has a new option for creating a mesh based on mesh data defined by a Filter dataset. This option is particularly useful for defining the output geometry of a topology optimization study. You can see this new option in the Exporting and Importing a Topology Optimized Hook and Bracket — Topology Optimization models.
New Operations for Editing and Repairing Meshes
There are new editing tools available for imported surface meshes that allow you to create new faces to fill holes. Additionally, there are new operations for creating mesh vertices, edges, faces, and domains enabling manual editing of meshes at a lower level.
Import and Export of 3MF and PLY Files
In addition to the STL format, the 3MF and PLY formats, which are used for 3D printing and additive manufacturing, are now supported for import and export of mesh data in 3D. It is now also possible to import and export mesh data using the Sectionwise file format, which is a COMSOL format for defining interpolation functions.
Robust Generation of Curved Elements
There is a new method for generating curved elements that avoids bad-quality elements by curving interior domain elements as well. If you deselect this check box, inverted curved elements will instead be avoided by using linear geometry shapes for the corresponding elements.

More than a quarter (27%) of SMEs view economic uncertainty as their primary concern, with their overall confidence having fallen to a four-year low. This is according to Lloyds Bank's latest Business in Britain report; so why are companies bracing themselves for the worst?
Economic uncertainty: the biggest worry
The banking giant's confidence index suggests that small firms have become more worried about the economic climate in the wake of Brexit. A net 12% felt positive over negative, which represents a 26-point decline since January when the previous survey was completed.
Tim Hinton, Lloyds' Managing Director of Mid Markets and SME Banking, said that falling confidence "should be viewed in the context of the recent economic and political shocks". "The EU referendum vote has introduced a level of uncertainty for companies as the UK decides on the best model for its future relationship with the EU", Mr Hinton explained, "and this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future."
While business confidence has declined, Mr Hinton added, levels aren't as low as they were at the time of the economic crisis of 2008/09.
Other SME concerns
Economic uncertainty aside, the Business in Britain report – which had more than 1,500 respondents, with the majority from the SME sector –revealed that small firms are also concerned about weaker domestic demand and falling levels of investment. This may affect how many people SMEs employ, with -1% of respondents saying they expect to increase staff numbers over the next few months. This is down by 14 points since January.
G-10 Economist at Lloyds Hann-Ju Ho believes the figures suggest economic growth will be "slow" over the following six months despite "a relatively robust performance" at the beginning of 2016. "Even though inflation is expected to pick up as a result of the weaker pound", Mr Ho said, "this may be offset by the survey findings of a fall in capacity pressures within firms and a fall in recruitment difficulties."
If you're an SME owner who's worried about the post-Brexit economic outlook, contact Dukes Bailiffs to find out how our ethical debt recovery services can help to future proof your business.

Clean and sterile laboratory equipment is now paramount in protecting students and staff. At Westlab we've created some lab sanitisation guidelines, taking learnings from Australian lab technicians (Thank you for your input) to minimise the spread of COVID-19, protect health and wellbeing, and keep your practicals on track.
The purpose of this document is to help collate information about COVID 19 spread prevention and make recommendations for best practice in teaching laboratories. Whilst the focus is specifically on teaching laboratories, nonetheless, most elements in this document are also relevant to research laboratories, which are addressed in the appendix.
We note that, while this document is focussed on SARS-Cov2 and Covid19 infection prevention, many elements of best-practice during an epidemic or pandemic situation are also good general practice. The same sanitisation practices that reduce Covid-19 will also greatly reduce flu, the common cold, and other illnesses in students and staff.
Personal protective equipment, such as goggles, eyeglasses, visors, and shields, should be used as required to maintain safety in the science laboratory. However, such equipment should be disinfected between uses.
Sterilise Lab Glasses
- Prepare a tub or sink with an amount of Bio-Degradable, Residue-free detergent. Eco-Friendly Detergent
- Each Student is to wash their safety glasses after use in the detergent then hang on a drying rack.
- Depending on the makeup of glasses, if there are any metal components, you may want to run a quick hair dryer over them to avoid rust.
- Before next use student wipes over with an Alcohol wipe.
- Prepare a tub or sink with an amount of diluted Ethanol. Surface Disinfectant
- Each Student is to wash their safety glasses after use in the Ethanol then hang on a drying rack.
- UV Sterilising Cabinet – This is an exceptionally easy and hassle-free method – simply load the cabinet and switch on, the UV light will do the rest!
Cloth lab coats provide good protection in the lab, but need to be washed between users to avoid the risk of student-to-student disease transfer. This presents challenges, given limited supplies, the cost of lab coats, and time required for washing. Lab coats should not be re-used by different students without first being cleaned. If stored after use, lab coats should not be hung on top of another laboratory coat (e.g. Pegs), or in lockers or hooks with personal items. A simple plastic divider system is an effective way of separating lab coats when in storage.
- Use disposable Aprons along with Sleeve Protectors Sleeve Covers This is an easy, low-cost option, but care needs to be taken in the presence of flames and hazardous chemicals.
- If using Cloth Lab coats, they must be washed and hung without contact with another coat –Labcoat Rack. Note: Not all practicals require a lab coat if there are no hazards to staff or students.
- Fogger Machine with registered COVID 19 TGA Approved solution to be run over separated coats is an effective solution.
Wash Glassware Between Practicals
- All Glassware must be cleaned with disinfectant before and after each use. COVID-19 best practice states: if shared glassware cannot be cleaned between uses, then it should not be used.
- Normal wash up with fully Bio-Degradable residue-free detergent. Eco-Friendly Detergent – Challenges include that you may not have enough glassware to rotate between lessons. To speed up the process drying ovens may be required. Contact Westlab for information if required.
Wash down of Microscopes, pH meters & other shared equipment
All tools and equipment used should be cleaned with disinfectant wipes before and after each use. If shared equipment cannot be cleaned and sanitised between uses, then it should not be used.
- This will have to be done via Alcohol Wipes after every use.
- On Microscopes make sure your brand of wipes does not leave clouding of the lenses and objectives.
- UV Sterilising Cabinet Note: can lead to degradation of certain materials so avoid expensive equipment.
Other Procedures to Consider
Teachers can also sequence activities in the science laboratory to minimise student interactions and allow for social distancing. For example, teachers may direct that only small groups of students be allowed to collect and return equipment from storage areas at any one time.
An effective method of storage includes the Gratnells storage system which consists of individual trays in trolley and frames. In this way, equipment for the practicals can be clearly organized and quarantined pending sanitisation.
Handwashing both on entry and exit
After lab coat removal this should be mandatory and repeated at regular intervals. Soap and water followed by drying are considered highly effective at removing SARS-Cov2 from hands. Hand hygiene should also be performed before putting on PPE and after removing it, when changing gloves, after contact with any respiratory secretions, before eating, and after using the toilet.
We recommend you always use a quality, Australian made hand wash or hand sanitiser that is effective at preventing bacterial and viral infection. Various dispensers, including touch free refillable wall units are a good option and can be used with bulk supplies of soap or sanitiser. Alternatively, smaller per packed pump dispenser bottles can be mounted to walls or stands and replaced as required.
Conduct frequent surface decontamination
Frequent surface decontamination is effective at removing SARS-cov2 from PPE,
Equipment and other surfaces. Furthermore, it can be done at relatively low cost. It is both the responsibility of the Teaching Institution to provide a safe work environment, and of the students to ensure their own safety and the safety of others. Hence, given the low cost and joint responsibility we suggest double cleaning with an "in and out" policy:
- before lab use (by staff),
- when students arrive at workstation (by student),
- when students leave workstation (by student),
- after students leave the laboratory (by staff).
Surface sanitisers are usually available in either ready to use concentrations or concentrates. Common active ingredients include, Alcohol based sanitisers and non-alcohol (usually QUAT based) sanitisers.
Always check with the supplier that it is an effective solution for managing infection control, especially on high touch point surfaces. A variety of applicators are available including Foggers and Sprayer systems.
The safety of Students, Teachers and Laboratory technicians is paramount and should be foremost in all decisions made about the conduct of practicals in science lessons. The resumption of practical activities in schools should be decided in consultation with teachers, headteachers and senior executives.
Where possible, decisions should always be made in favour of students receiving a positive educational experience in science.


VGA to RCA Wiring Schematic
By Steve McDonnell
Flat-panel monitors usually accept either VGA or component input.
i Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty Images
While you normally use a CAT5 cable for Ethernet communication, CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 cables can also carry video communication. When you want to connect a device with a VGA output to a device that has component input, you can make a custom video cable from a CAT5 , CAT5e or CAT6 cable by attaching three component connectors to one end of the cable and connecting the proper wires to a 15-pin VGA connector on the other end of the cable. Component connections are done in the RCA format -- the phono plug with a single, stubby prong surrounded by a sturdy ground collar, commonly used in consumer A/V equipment.
Step 1
Select three of the four color-coded pairs of wires in the CAT5 cable to use for the Y, Pr and Pb connections of the component cable.
Step 2
Untwist the color-coded pairs you selected. Solder a component connector to each pair to create the component end of the cable.
Step 3
Examine the VGA connector and assign a number from one to 15 to each of the pin sockets. For example, the first pin socket in the top row should be number one, the first pin socket in the second row should be number six and the last pin socket in the last row should be number 15.
Step 4
Connect the wires in the CAT5 cable to the correct pin socket in the VGA connector. Connect the orange wire to pin socket one, the green wire to pin socket two and the blue wire to pin socket three. Connect the orange and white wire to pin socket six, the green and white wire to pin socket seven and the blue and white wire to pin socket eight. Connect the brown wire to pin socket 13 and the brown and white wire to pin socket 14.
Step 5
Test each pin connection on the VGA connector with a multimeter to ensure it has a proper connection. Securely attach the VGA connector to the cable, connect both devices and ensure that the cable works properly.

THE ROLE OF FOLKLORE IN PRESERVING WILDLIFE AND HERITAGE – A STORY ABOUT FROGS AND SWEET WATER
Samson Phakathi, Field Officer, EWT's People in Conservation Programme, _EMAIL_
As in most cultures, folklore has played an essential role in influencing social norms and values in most African communities. Folklore is oral history attached to a particular place, group, or activity, communicated through tales, proverbs, riddles, songs, etc.
Folklore is typically passed down by word of mouth, although sometimes people write down collections of folklore to preserve the stories of a particular community. The fundamental premise is that folklore has no author – it slowly emerges and evolves from within a culture, and is carried forward through constant retelling. Some folklore is a product of indigenous knowledge about species and natural ecosystems. In Africa, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal, many of the folklore legends relate to the environment and specific species. Folklore has both positive and negative effects on the environment and species, determined by how much species are valued in a specific tribe. For example, if a species is deemed harmful and of no use to man, folklore will prescribe that it be persecuted, whereas if it is useful to man, folklore projects a glorified image of the subject, motivating for people to care for and conserve it. Folklore sparks the imagination of children, strengthens bonds between generations, and helps to shape people's cultural views on biotic utilisation and preservation.
Folklore has always played an important role in preserving heritage in KwaZulu-Natal. Legends have it, for example, that upon discovery of signs of damage to Itshe LikaNtunjambili, the cliff head above the Tugela Valley, a narrative was spread warning that anyone who tampers with the cliff will develop misshapen legs, and to this day the cliff head is intact for all to see and enjoy. Older women are traditionally the narrators of folklore, and young people would sit around an open fire and enjoy stories in the dark. As we celebrate Heritage Month, we recognise the role of folklore in preserving our cultural and natural heritage.
A story about the role of folklore in preserving wildlife and heritage
Once upon a time when people's existence could be directly affected by how well they understood and respected their environment, Indlovukazi-the Queen Mother once embarked on a long trip from the Zululand to the South Coast in KwaZulu-Natal. She was accompanied by six warriors who were instructed by the King to ensure her safety, not only from physical dangers but also against unseen nature-related obstacles that might come to the fore. They walked gracefully for days using species like Honey Badgers, starlings, and weavers to provide signs of what lied ahead. Honey Badger would lead them to honey, starlings and weavers warned them about the presence of slippery friends (snakes). They walk for days until their supplies were beginning to run out. They had to find a suitable spring to collect water, but unfortunately, they walked for days without much luck because springs in their midst did not fit the description of a water source that is suitable for Indlovukazi.
An instruction from Indlovukazi was clear, croaking frogs and running water signalled a sign of water suitable for Indlovukazi. None of the springs they found showed signs of life, and the wise Indlovukazi decided that they would take a well-deserved break and brainstorm strategies to ensure that there is life in every stream the next time they travelled this way. They sat under a tree of great cultural significance, and as they deliberated on what to do to bring back the frogs, they heard the loud croaking sound of a frog in the distance. The Indlovukazi immediately instructed two warriors to search for the stream where the croaking was coming from, and if there was a sign of frogs, they dare not touch the water as the Indlovukazi should be the first to enjoy the sweet waters, or Amanzimtoti (of the spring). They found the stream, inundated with frogs of all species, shapes, sizes, and colours, and returned to inform the Indlovukazi about their finding. The thirsty Indlovukazi walked to the stream and scooped a cup full of the water and, instead of quenching her thirst, insisted that before they enjoy the water, they come up with a plan to bring life back to the other streams that they had passed. The men thought long and hard and soon realised the association of frogs to the sweet water the wise Queen had described earlier.
As the sun was setting, Mpeku, one of the lead warriors, began to put the pieces together and remembered how, as young boys, they used to go to play in the streams, throwing stones at the frogs and throwing their rubbish into the streams, until there were fewer signs of life in the area. He relayed what he thought was a contributing factor in the decline in frog numbers, and the Indlovukazi felt that what he shared was genuine. They all felt that there was a need to educate young boys about the importance of frogs in streams and folklore stories were an essential method of reinforcing a particular narrative in communities.
The Indlovukazi and her combatants manufactured a folklore narrative that those who kill frogs and pollute water will have an unpleasant period in their lives, and this narrative has played a role in the conservation of frogs and streams in Natal. Mpeku was rewarded and entrusted with a responsibility to develop folklores intended to preserve local natural heritage, associating certain species with good luck and positive experiences.

Grinders are versatile power tools that cut across both worlds of carpentry and steelwork. Grinders are used for different tasks. You can use grinders to cut materials, grind, sharpen, and sand. It all depends on what task you have in mind.
But, just like all other power tools that have several types, there are different types of grinders too. Each grinder with its unique build and function.
Though there are several types of grinders, two grinders are usually on the top of every prospective buyer's list. These are the Die grinder and the Angle grinder.
Both grinders work brilliantly and they can both execute several tasks when attached with the right parts. But, what are the differences between the die grinder vs angle grinder, and which do you need for your task? Let's find out.
First, let's check out Die grinders.
What Is a Die Grinder and What Is It Used for?
Die grinders are small handheld grinders that can be used to polish, sand, cut, sharpen, and grind different surfaces and instruments. Die grinders are lightweight with the common models weighing less than 3 pounds.
The die grinders are lightweight tools, they are smaller than angle grinders. They are mostly used for polishing, but with the right bits, they can be used for different projects as well.
Most die grinders come with components or parts called bits. For those that aren't designed with bits, the bit needed will be purchased separately. Bits are used to describe the different attachments that can be used with the die grinder.
There are sanding bits for sanding rough surfaces and removing materials from wood and steel. There are polishing bits for polishing surfaces. There are cutting bits used to cut different materials ranging from wood to metal and so on. For each task you want to complete with a die grinder, there is a bit that can be attached to the tip of the die grinder to complete the task.
Die grinders due to their small size and lightweight are great with tight spaces. The grinder can be used to sand, cut, or polish tight spaces and difficult to reach areas in the home.
Die grinders are popular for sanding and cutting but the tool isn't just restricted to that. With the right bit, you can sand, cut, polish, and do a whole lot more with a die grinder. This makes die grinders a very versatile power tool to have. It doesn't come as a surprise that the die grinder's main strength is its versatility.
The main downside of the die grinder is that it isn't a powerful tool. The motors of most die grinders do not go beyond 5amps in the power rating. Die grinders can't tackle large tasks.
They are more suited for small tasks or small surfaces that don't require much work. Die grinders are great for small surfaces like shelves, stools, and the likes. Now let's check out angle grinders.

What Is an Angle Grinder and What Is It Used for?
Angle grinders are always the first name that comes to mind when you hear of grinders. This is because angle grinders are very common and there is a chance you might have come across one or even used one.
When you think about grinders, you think about angle grinders. The angle grinders are the most used grinders, they can be used for different projects, but since these power tools are powerful they are mostly used for cutting. You can use angle grinders for polishing or sanding only if you have the right discs.
Angle grinders are also called disc sanders or disc grinders. This is because of the saw's spinning disc that is used for sanding and polishing. The disc of the angle grinder is often about 5 inches in diameter and it can be made from different materials. Angle grinders are popular for sanding and polishing metal and wooden surfaces.
Angle grinders are a bit larger than die grinders. An angle grinder on average weighs about 10 pounds with some other models weighing up to 15 pounds. Angle grinders or disc sanders come in both corded and battery-powered models. Most users prefer to go for the battery-powered models because it gives a higher level of mobility.
Unlike die grinders, angle grinders are powerful tools that are used majorly for rough work. Angle grinders have motors that are capable of generating speeds of up to 10,000 RPM (revolutions per minute). This sounds a bit much but when you find out that the power tool is usually powered by a 7 amp motor, you wouldn't be that surprised.
Angle grinders can also be used for different tasks. You can sand, polish, cut, and sharpen surfaces and materials with an angle grinder. The major difference is that instead of the bits used by die grinders, angle grinders use discs. There are sanding discs that come in different grits, polishing discs, cutting discs, and even diamond discs that are used for cutting tough materials like masonry.
As long as you attach the right disc to the angle grinder, you can complete several tasks. The main advantage of the angle grinder is its power. This means it is more suited to large-scale tasks.
The main downside to the angle grinder is that it is slightly heavier and the large size means it can't fit into tight corners and spaces. Asides from that, it's a pretty good power tool to have. But how good is it when compared to the die grinder? Let's find out.

Die Grinder vs Angle Grinder (Head to Head)
The angle grinder and die grinder are both terrific tools. They are both handheld grinders that can tackle several needs and different types of tasks.
However, if you want to buy one, it's always a good idea to know where each grinder stands when compared to the other.
This will help you figure out which grinder you need for your task and which you should buy. So, let's do a vivid comparison using both grinders' features.
The Power
The power of a grinder determines the type of task the grinder can take on and the type of material it can work on. Both the angle grinder and die grinder are powerful tools. However, the angle grinder is more powerful than the die grinder.
The power of the grinder is determined by the motor. Angle grinders usually have a more powerful motor than die grinders. The amperage (amps) of an angle grinder's motor ranges between 5 amps and 15 amps depending on the size of the angle grinder.
The smaller 4½ inch angle grinders have motors as powerful as 5 or 6 amps depending on the model you buy. The bigger 7-inch angle grinders have motors as powerful as 13 to 15 amps.
Die grinders on the other hand usually have motors as powerful as 5 amps or less. The increased power of the angle grinder means the power tool can take on large-scale tasks while the die grinder is more suited to smaller tasks. Angle grinders can sand or polish large surfaces like tabletops and countertops while die grinders are more suited to smaller surfaces like furniture.
The Speed
The speed of the grinder also matters when performing tasks. For instance, while cutting, a greater speed means you can cut materials faster and also arrive at a smooth cut.
In terms of speed, die grinders are faster than angle grinders. This might pose a bit of confusion since angle grinders have more powerful motors. The idea is bigger motors or powerful motors generate less speed because they mostly power heavier discs or bits.
The speed of an angle grinder ranges between 6000 RPM for the heavier models like the 7-inch angle grinders to about 12000 RPM on the lighter models like the 4½ inch angle grinders. Die grinders on the other hand are faster since the bits are lighter.
Lighter bits mean the motor can spin the bit even faster. Generally, die grinders range between 8000 RPM for the larger models and 34000 RPM for the light models. That's an average of about 20000 RPM. That's twice the speed of the regular angle grinder.
This doesn't however mean that angle grinders are slower. It just means die grinders are faster than angle grinders. Angle grinders are still fast enough to cut different materials including masonry and tiles.
The Size and Weight
The size and weight of the grinder determine how easy it will be to maneuver the grinder across a surface. In terms of size, angle grinders are larger than die grinders. The size of both grinders is measured in length because both grinders are about the same size in width.
The smaller 4½ inch angle grinder ranges between 8 and 15 inches in length. On average, the smaller 4½ inch angle grinder is about 12 inches long. The larger models like the 7-inch angle grinder range between 18 and 25 inches in length. On average, the 7-inch angle grinder is about 22 inches in length.
Die grinders on the other hand are smaller. At best, a large die grinder will be about 20 inches long. The smaller models are usually about 7 or 8 inches long at best.

years, leading to soil degradation. If synthetic chelates leach into water sources they can also become a threat to aquatic life, and have also been shown to be toxic to humans if consumed in large quantities.
It is for these reasons that plant-based, naturally chelated nutrient sources are suggested for agriculture as a safer and more effective alternative. When selecting micronutrient sources for crops, it is critical to prioritize the use of natural chelates and plant-based nutrients. Doing so not only enhances crop health and productivity but also protects the environment and consumer health.
Synthetic chelates present significant risks and should be avoided to promote sustainable and responsible agricultural practices. Taking a thoughtful and respectful approach to selecting micronutrient sources is just as important as choosing the right nutrients for your crops.

The Imam and the Pastor
27 May 2021, 2:19 PM
Former enemies in an ongoing, deadly Nigerian conflict, Christian Pastor James Wuye and Muslim Imam Muhammad Ashafa reconciled their differences to stand as an example to their community and honor both their faiths' teachings to "love your enemy."
The Imam and the Pastor
In the 1990s, Pastor James Wuye and the Imam Muhammad Ashafa led opposing sides of a deadly conflict in Kaduna, Nigeria.
Each man was deeply rooted in his own faith tradition. Pastor James had felt a strong calling to the Church since graduating high school. Imam Ashafa was the thirteenth generation in his family to become an Imam. Both men felt a passion to unify and energize their faith communities, and to protect them against perceived threats.
As the conflict escalated, both men trained militias to intimidate and even kill members of the opposite side. Crops and livelihoods were destroyed. Families were attacked. The need for revenge on both sides fueled an ever-growing hatred, and the leaders' roles became entrenched. Both suffered heavy losses. Imam Ashafa lost two brothers and his mentor in the conflict. Pastor James, in addition to losing close friends, lost his right hand.
But something incredible happened.
In 1995, during a UNICEF outreach program about child immunization against polio, the two leaders hesitantly agreed to put aside their differences for the sake of the larger community. They realized that their voices, speaking together, could convince more people to protect their children against a common threat. Their agreement was cautious and guarded at first - and then, gradually over the years, they built up the respect and trust necessary to form a partnership.
The two men eventually formed the Interfaith Mediation Centre (which is a URI member group) - an interfaith, grassroots organization that heals rifts between Christians and Muslims throughout Nigeria. With over 10,000 members, they now train former militia members to become peace activists.
Today, Imam Ashafa and Pastor James work together to act as an example to their communities that peace is possible. They teach members of youth militias methods to resolve their conflicts peacefully rather than infinitely escalating violence, and have even led successful efforts to rebuild the churches and mosques that had fallen during their conflict.
Hear it in their own words: Read a 2011 interview Pastor James and Imam Ashafa gave together. Their remarkable story was also featured on Oprah's BELIEF television series in 2015.

text: We present an investigation of optical properties of yellow light emitting (Ga,In) N-based devices grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on c-plane sapphire with different designs: well width, indium composition up to 23 percent in the well layer. Using time-resolved photoluminescence measurements collected in range of 8-300K, temperature – dependent photoluminescence decays are determined, they exhibit similar behaviors for all samples. These quantum devices always display a two-mode exponential decay with a long decay time and a short one in a ratio about four to five. The photoluminescence intensities measured from low temperature to room temperature give large values of activation temperature that indicate the increasing of the non-radiative recombination rate when the temperature increases. The average decay times are found by a procedure using fitting sigmoidal functions. These decay times increase exponentially with the indium concentration and the well width due to influence of quantum confined Stark effect on these devices. Finally, in order to estimate the performances of our samples, we plotted the decay times obtained versus product of the indium content and the well width together with others published decay times.

Street crime
Street crime is a loose term for criminal offences taking place in public places. It has moved to occupy the place once held by mugging. According to London's Metropolitan Police Force, street crime is:
Robbery, often called'mugging ', and also includes thefts from victims in the street where property is snatched and the victim is not assaulted. [1]
Crime on the streets of a city may include many other types of offences, for example pickpocketing, the open carrying-on of the illegal drugs trade, prostitution in the form of soliciting outside the law, the creation of graffiti and vandalism of public property, and assaults. As a generic term street crime may include all

closest to the fault. In some cases like fahraj earthquake some anomalies were detected aside the anomaly detected on the day of the earthquake. However, results of the mean-standard deviation method gives more false alarms as an earthquake thermal anomaly than the interquartile method. Although these anomalies could be related to the earthquake it cannot be a certain fact. So in order to have a better outcome we use the results of interquartile anomaly detection method as input for training of artificial neural network. The results in mathematical modeling have a relatively high accuracy in the case of seismic intensity parameter using artificial neural network with the total accuracy of 0.73. These results indicate that the best accuracy belongs to Azgalah and the one with least accuracy belongs to fahraj study case. Although the number of earthquakes studied for neural network training has been relatively small, but the availability of large amounts of data on each earthquake has provided appropriate accuracy.
In conclusion, this study shows that thermal anomalies is one of the most significant precursors for earthquake's investigations. Using the relevant fault and anomalies with respect to the buffer zones in different distances can help us increase the accuracy dramatically. Since many previous studies that investigated thermal anomalies connected to the earthquakes, explored areas around the epicenter, in this study we show that the corresponding fault is just as important as epicenter.
Finally, it should be noted that the indicator of surface temperature changes and thermal anomalies alone cannot be sufficient to fully investigate the parameters of the earthquake or have the necessary accuracy to analyze the earthquake. However, due to the low volume of thermal data and the simplicity of working with them, it is recommended that they be used for initial earthquake surveys, and if it is partially confirmed for further analysis, use other methods and indicators that require the application of heavy and complex algorithms and processes. It is also possible to combine the results of this precursor with the results of other precursors to achieve sufficient accuracy.
Regarding the results and discussion, it should be noted that the results of anomaly detection algorithms show that both methods of thermal anomaly detection have detected thermal anomalies related to each earthquake on the day of the earthquake in a radius closest to the fault. In some cases like fahraj earthquake some anomalies were detected aside the anomaly detected on the day of the earthquake. However, results of the mean-standard deviation method gives more false alarms as an earthquake thermal anomaly than the interquartile method.

Just in from the field, artifacts are carefully cleaned to remove dirt. Depending on the kind of artifact, a delicate paintbrush or toothbrush might be used to clean it. Sometimes materials are too delicate, and are left as they were found, to prevent further damage.
Cataloguing and labeling
Once cleaned, the artifacts are sorted into basic groups such as pottery, lithics (stone), bone, and plants. Then they are catalogued. The total number of artifacts in each category is counted. Important artifacts are described individually, and sometimes drawn. Each artifact is assigned a unique number that tells the site, feature, and level that it was found. These numbers are used in a database to keep track of all the artifacts. The individual artifacts that are to be separately analyzed have their unique number and the site number written right on them to ensure that they can be tracked.
Artifacts may start to break down when they are removed from the earth. Careful cleaning and treatment is necessary to preserve the materials. For example, copper artifacts are wrapped in acid-free tissue paper to prevent further corrosion. Some materials are so delicate that exposure to air causes them to start decaying. Special treatments, usually conducted by museum conservators, may be required.
Whole pots are rarely found. If lucky, archaeologists find enough pieces to put together a large portion of the decorated rim area of the pot. This process is much like a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, often with several puzzle parts mixed together, and many missing pieces.

The methodology is based on the principle that the endpoint concentration represents a 90th percentile of the statistical population of concentrations to be expected in ditches alongside fruit crops. Furthermore the methodology is founded on the principle that the user should be able to choose between different drift-reduction technology (DRT) classes and between different widths of the crop-free buffer zone. Spray drift is the only exposure route considered in the methodology. The 90th percentile concentration (PEC90) is based on a spatially distributed model that simulates the frequency distribution of the annual maximum concentration of more than 70,000 spatial units (i.e. ditches characterised by waterbody properties and their orientation with respect to the direction of the rows of the fruit trees and to the N-E-S-W direction) for 100 simulation years. This frequency distribution was calculated for different application patterns, different DRT classes and different widths of the crop-free buffer zone. Next, one of the 70,000 spatial units was selected which fulfilled the criterion that it could be used to calculate this PEC90 for all combinations of application patterns, DRT classes and widths by selecting a suitable percentile of its temporal distribution of concentrations. The TOXSWA model (coupled to the hydrological SWQN model simulating water depths and water flow rates) was parameterised for this selected spatial unit to run for 26 years. The first six years were used as a 'warming-up' period and the remaining 20 years for assessing the required temporal percentile. The scenario ditch was 300 m long of which only the 100 m in the middle received a drift load of pesticide. The direction of water flow may change on a daily basis and the water flowing into the 300-m ditch was assumed to be free of pesticide. The median residence time of a droplet of water in the 100-m ditch was about 1 day. The
spray drift deposition for the 99% DRT class appeared to be as low as 0.03-
0.07% for summer applications. At such low deposition levels the contribution of leaching from drain pipes and of atmospheric deposition may exceed that of the drift deposition.

Synopsis
Note: This command is experimental and unsupported.
jmap [options] pid
options
This represents the jmap command-line options. See Options for the jmap Command.
pid
The process ID for which the information specified by the options is to be printed. The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes running on a machine, use either the ps command or, if the JVM processes are not running in a separate docker instance, the jps command.
Description
The jmap command prints details of a specified running process.
Note:
This command is unsupported and might not be available in future releases of the JDK. On Windows Systems where the dbgeng.dll file isn't present, the Debugging Tools for Windows must be installed to make these tools work. The PATH environment variable should contain the location of the jvm.dll file that's used by the target process or the location from which the core dump file was produced.
Options for the jmap Command
-clstats pid
Connects to a running process and prints class loader statistics of Java heap.
-finalizerinfo pid
Connects to a running process and prints information on objects awaiting finalization.
-histo[:live] pid
Connects to a running process and prints a histogram of the Java object heap. If the live suboption is specified, it then counts only live objects.
-dump:dump_options pid
Connects to a running process and dumps the Java heap. The dump_options include:
 - live --- When specified, dumps only the live objects; if not specified, then dumps all objects in the heap.
 - format=b --- Dumps the Java heap in hprof binary format
 - file=filename --- Dumps the heap to filename

Dopamine (DA) receptors, a class of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), have been targeted for drug development for the treatment of neurological, psychiatric and ocular disorders. The lack of structural information about GPCRs and their ligand complexes has prompted to the development of homology models of these proteins aimed at structure-based drug design. Crystal structure of human dopamine D3 (hD3) receptor has been recently solved. Based on the hD3 receptor crystal structure we generated dopamine D2 and D3 receptor models and refined them with molecular dynamics (MD) protocol. Refined structures, obtained from the MD simulations in membrane environment, were subsequently used in molecular docking studies in order to investigate potential sites of interaction. The structure of hD3 and hD2L receptors was differentiated by means of MD simulations and D3 selective ligands were discriminated, in terms of binding energy, by docking calculation. Robust correlation of computed and experimental Ki was obtained for hD3 and hD2L receptor ligands. In conclusion, the present computational approach seems suitable to build and refine structure models of homologous dopamine receptors, that may be of value for structure-based drug discovery of selective dopaminergic ligands.

New Sahara was a planet located in the region of space known as The Triangle, and was one of two marginal Class M worlds in the Oeth System, the other being New Siberia.
As the name implies, New Sahara was a desert world with a hot, dry climate and little surface water outside of two oceans located near the polar regions. The planet would have been uninhabited if it were not for a compound found within its vast quantities of sand. Known as Hard Sand, the compound could be used to create one of the strongest high-temperature ceramics in the galaxy. Hard Sand would even been used in the construction of starship engines.
As the planet had few, if any other resources, most of its supplies had to be imported, including water from neighboring New Siberia.
The government of the two planets, New Sahara and New Siberia, were shared. The Grandmaster, the leader of the government, was elected to a five year term, along with 60 Grand Senators (30 from each of the two planets).
Both planets considered themselves to be unaligned to any major power. (FASA reference book The Triangle)
Although not stated, the name of the planet implies that it was settled by Humans, or mostly Human colonists from Earth.

April brought her ducklings to visit the nursery, they made lots of noise.
 There were 2 brown ducklings and 2 yellow ones, some of the children wanted to hold them so we had a towel on our laps incase they decided to poo. Their feathers were really soft, they had webbed feet and small wings.
We had to be very calm around them so that we didn't frighten them.
The babies were very interested in the small fluffy ducks that made lots of noise.
Some of the little ones have soft ducks that they sleep with so it was interesting for them to see a real one.
The ducks will grow up and lay lots of eggs which could be new baby ducklings or eggs to eat.
