AWK, 63 bytes
Try it online!
The code scans all the numbers presented on the input line and sets variable, d, to the position of the smallest number, or to the number of fields plus one if all values are equal. Then it increments the number at that position and prints everything. As a result it either adds a new field with a value of 1 or increments the smallest number in the given set of numbers.
The first condition/test is always true, and just does some initialization.
The code block is a for loop, which applies one statement to each number from the input line.
The check to continue iterating just increments the a "current field" variable and stops when it's gets a 0 (by running off the end of the list).
The body of the loop updates b such that it's always pointing to the position of the smallest number in the input. The code also has to save the previous position of the smallest number, stored in c, to deal with cases where the minimum is the last number on the line.
The "end of loop" statement sets variable d to the current field "plus one" if the current value matches the current minimum as well as the previous minimum, or to the position of the current minimum otherwise.
One the loop completes, the code increments whichever field d points to. If all the fields are the same, it will increment an uninitialized field, which in AWK will default to 0. Otherwise it will increment the first field with the smallest value.
The second condition/test just increments the number of fields in the input line, which will always evaluate to true. If all the fields were the same numeric value, that change in NF will cause a 1 to be appended to the list. And if it changed one of the presented fields the additional field printed as a result of incrementing NF will be an empty string.

I'm relatively new to code golf so please be kind! I tried to use anonymous functions but googling says you can't use if/else statements and matlab doesn't have ternary operators, so this is the best i felt I could do.
Edit: Corrected and shortened (twice!) thanks to stewie-griffin.
 - \$\begingroup\$ Welcome to PPCG! There are some flaws in this code. sum(a)/length(a)==a(1) doesn't guarantee that all elements are equal, it only shows that the average is equal to a(1). A simpler way to do this would be mean(a)==a(1). numel is one byte shorter than length, but since you know all values are positive, you can use nnz which is even shorter (it would still not give the correct result in this challenge, but it's shorter at least :P ). If you take the min(a) call in front of the loop, you may use both outputs from it and check is all elements of a are equal to min(a). \$\endgroup\$ – Stewie Griffin Nov 29 '16 at 15:51
 - \$\begingroup\$ You are right! it fails when the mean is equal the number in the first element. I think my new one is correct though and also shorter. The logic is that if the remaining elements don't equal the first element, a(a~=a(1)) returns the remaining elements which by definition is greater than 0 in a non-same array. Then counting and not should give the correct logic I think. If it's still wrong please let me know, I've only been coding for a few years and I still have a long ways left. \$\endgroup\$ – Owen Morgan Nov 29 '16 at 18:05
 - \$\begingroup\$ ~nnz(a(a~=a(1))) is simply ~nnz(a-a(1)). Also, you don't need the parentheses. if ~nnz(a-a(1));a=[a,1];else[~,I]=min(a);a(I)=a(I)+1;end. This should be 5 bytes shorter (note: I haven't tested it). \$\endgroup\$ – Stewie Griffin Dec 6 '16 at 15:55

 - \$\begingroup\$ _USER_, that code checks if the number of elements in a is equal to the lowest value in that vector. A vector a = [3 4 6] will result in true, and a vector a = [4 4 6] will result in false. I don't think that will be useful here...? \$\endgroup\$ – Stewie Griffin Dec 12 '16 at 0:50
Clojure, 112 100 bytes
Unfortunately min-key returns the last index of the smallest index, not the first one. This works for integer inputs and shorter arrays than 10^9 elements ;)
Edit: Defining an anonymous function, using (apply = a) instead of (= 1(count(set a))).
(fn[a](if(apply = a)(conj a 1)(update a(apply min-key #(+(nth a %)(* % 1e-9))(range(count a)))inc)))
(defn f[a](if(= 1(count(set a)))(conj a 1)(update a(apply min-key #(+(nth a %)(* % 1e-9))(range(count a)))inc)))
A less hacky 134-byte solution reverses the vector before updating it and then reverse it back again:
(defn f[a](if(= 1(count(set a)))(conj a 1)(let[r #(vec(reverse %))a(r a)](r(update a(apply min-key #(nth a %)(range(count a)))inc)))))

CLC bio Part of $7.8 Million EU STATegra Grant to Develop Integral Analysis Platform for Epigenetics
12/12/2012 9:24:53 AM
AARHUS, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today CLC bio announced the participation in the European FP7 project, STATegra, and receives 1.3 million US Dollars out of the total $7.8M project budget. STATegra aims to develop a user-friendly integral analysis platform for different omics data that is capable of providing a more efficient use of genomics technologies. As a first, this project will generate and integrate data obtained in proteomic, metabolomic and epigenomic experiments. "One of the big challenges today is going past the raw sequence data and getting to grips with the complexity of epigenetic processes - how, when, and why are certain genes switched off or expressed?" states Senior Bioinformatics Scientist at CLC bio, Dr. Michael Lappe, and continues, "By working together with leading experimental researchers and using our in-house competences in world-class software-engineering, we aim to leverage a framework which makes this extremely complex network biology understandable. Ultimately our tools will facilitate the translation of massive amounts of data into useful insights that can be applied in clinical settings."


text: Copper(I) hydride (cuprous hydride, CuH) was the first binary metal hydride to be discovered (in 1844) and is singular in that it is synthesized in solution, at ambient temperature. There are several synthetic paths to CuH, one of which involves reduction of an aqueous solution of CuSO4·5H2O by borohydride ions. The product from this procedure has not been extensively characterized. Using a combination of diffraction methods (X-ray and neutron) and inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy, we show that the CuH from the borohydride route has the same bulk structure as CuH produced by other routes. Our work shows that the product consists of a core of CuH with a shell of water and that this may be largely replaced by ethanol. This offers the possibility of modifying the properties of CuH produced by aqueous routes.

this fundamentally alters the game mechanics and may be unfamiliar for the player. But the effect could be quite interesting and may well be worth the unfamiliarity.

I think I remember playing some platformer with exactly that mechanic - don't leave the ground until you've "charged" the jump. With some pretty animations (like dust cloud growing at the character's feet) this can be done to feel intuitive. – Jari Komppa Jun 7 '11 at 13:31
I've found another solution in David Gouveia's answer to the question " How to make a character jump?"
His idea was to set a velocity when the player pushes down the jump button. In every frame it only computes the gravity. However, when the player releases the button, it sets the velocity to a smaller value if the velocity is greater than it. The velocity is only decremented each frame by the gravity.
I shouldn't steal his answer, so go ahead and read his post. His solution is under the "Variable Height Jump" section.
So really people came up with many different ways to solve this problem...

Single use and rechargeable batteries disposal
 - Last updated:
 - 17 Jun 2021
Sunshine Coast Council now accepts single use and rechargeable batteries for recycling. This is a free service.
As the amount of these types of batteries increases there is a need to offer more environmentally friendly options for disposal. While single use batteries can still be disposed of as general household waste in the general waste bin, we encourage you to choose the recycling option. Rechargeable batteries, however, cannot be disposed of in the general waste bin.
Why should you recycle your batteries?
The majority of Australia's battery waste is unfortunately still being sent to landfill creating fire and environmental risks. It is a growing waste item, increasing by 20 per cent each year and could exceed 100,000 tonnes by 2036.
In Australia currently only three per cent of battery waste is recycled. In Europe, 44 per cent of batteries sold are collected for recycling.
Batteries contain a variety of toxic metals which are particularly detrimental in landfill (lead, nickel, cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and mercury) and can seep through into the environment. They also contain valuable metals that may be recovered through recycling (such as cadmium, zinc, manganese, cobalt and rare earth metals).
Disposing of single use or rechargeable batteries
To recycle your batteries, simply drop them off, free of charge, at one of the following Resource Recovery Centres: Beerwah, Buderim, Caloundra or Nambour.
There are two main types of batteries that council accepts under this program:
 1. Single use batteries (alkaline and button cell batteries accepted)
 2. Rechargeable batteries (Lithium Ion, Nickel-Metal Hydride, Nickel Cadmium (dry), Nickel Cadmium (wet))
Please never place single use batteries in your recycling bin or garden waste bin as these would contaminate other recyclables or the mulch produced from garden waste.
Rechargeable batteries cannot be placed in the general waste, recycling, or in the garden waste bins.
Visit the Australian Battery Recycling Initiative website to obtain more information about battery recycling.


Real.toString 3.1416);
Convert real to string. Load Real library before using.
Bool.toString : bool -> string
print (Int.toString (5 < 3));
Convert bool to string. Load Bool library before using.
Char.toString : char -> string
print (Char.toString #"a");
Same as str. On my system, appears to be pre-loaded.
Operations on characters
The operators < <= = <> >= > can be applied to characters.
Functions that begin with Char. are in the Char library package. Enter load "Char"; to load this library. Enter open Char; to use these functions without typing Char. each time (open will also display a list of the functions thus made available).
Char.contains and Char.notContains use currying: Char.contains "aeiou" returns a function of type char -> bool that will return true if given a vowel as an argument. For example, the following two expressions are equivalent (and both return true):
Char.contains "aeiou" #"e";
(Char.contains "aeiou") #"e";
Char.succ : char -> char
Get the next character in the ASCII sequence; same as chr (ord #"a" + 1).
Char.pred : char -> char
Get the previous character in the ASCII sequence; same as chr (ord #"a" - 1).
Char.toUpper : char -> char
Given a lowercase letter, return the corresponding capital letter. Given any other character, return that same character.
Char.toLower : char -> char
Given a capital letter, return the corresponding lowercase letter. Given any other character, return that same character.
Char.isAlpha : char -> bool
Test if character is alphabetic.
Char.isUpper : char -> bool
Test if character is a capital letter.
Char.isLower : char -> bool
Test if character is a lowercase letter.
Char.isDigit : char -> bool
Test if character is a digit.
Char.isHexDigit : char -> bool
Test if character is a hexadecimal digit. Hex digits A thru F may be uppercase or lowercase.
Char.isAlphaNum : char -> bool
Test if character is alphabetic or numeric.
Char.isAscii : char -> bool
Test if character is a seven-bit character.
Char.isSpace : char -> bool
Test if character is whitespace (blank, tab, newline, etc.)
Char.isPrint : char -> bool
Test if character is printable (including whitespace).
Char.isGraph : char -> bool
Test if character is printable and not whitespace.
Char.contains : string -> char -> bool
Test if the string contains the given character.
Char.notContains : string -> char -> bool
Test if the string does not contain the given character.
Operations on lists
A list is a set of elements, all of the same type, enclosed in brackets and separated by commas. Example: ["hello", "bonjour", "guten Tag"]. The type of this example is string list.
The empty list is represented by [] or by nil.
hd : 'a list -> 'a
hd [3, 5, 7]
The "head" of a list is its first element. Same as car in Scheme.
tl : 'a list -> 'a list
tl [3, 5, 7]
The "tail" of a list is the list with its first element removed. Same as cdr in Scheme.
:: : 'a * 'a list -> 'a list
1 :: [3, 5, 7]
1 :: 3 :: 5 :: 7 :: nil
(Infix, right associative) Inserts an element as the new head of a list. Same as cons in Scheme.
@ : 'a list * 'a list -> 'a list
[1, 3, 5] @ [7, 9]
(Infix, right associative) Append two lists. Same as append in Scheme.
explode : string -> char list
explode inputString
Convert string to list of characters.
implode : char list -> string
implode [#"h", #"i"]
Convert list of characters to string.
Operations on tuples
If T is a tuple of three elements, then #1(T) is the first element, #2(T) is the second element, and #3(T) is the third element. #4(T) would be an error. _TAG_(T) is illegal syntax.
Functions with side effects
The most useful functions with side effects are the I/O functions. Since ML automatically prints the values of expressions entered at the prompt, you can often avoid doing any explicit I/O.
The most commonly used output function is print, which prints only strings. If you want to print something other than a string, it is your responsibility to convert it to a string. For example, if N is an integer, Int.toString (N) is its string representation.
print : string -> unit
print "Hello\n"
print only prints strings.
The function print is automatically available. If you want to use other I/O functions, you should open the TextIO library by saying
open TextIO;
(or you can prepend TextIO. to each of the function names in the following table). TextIO provides the streams stdIn, stdOut, and stdErr; you don't need to explicitly open these streams. An instream is an input stream; an outstream is an output stream.
openIn : string -> instream
The argument is the name of a file to be opened for reading.
endOfStream : instream -> bool
Tests for end of file.
inputN : instream * int -> string
Reads int characters and returns them as a string. Will wait for input from a terminal, or return fewer characters if at the end of a file.
inputLine : instream -> string
Reads up to \n; if no \n, one is added, unless the line is completely empty.
input : instream -> string
Reads the entire file.
input1 : instream -> char option
Result is either NONE or SOME . These values can be used in patterns.
lookahead : instream -> char option
Peeks at next character, if any.
canInput : instream * int -> bool
Test if at least int characters remain.
closeIn : instream -> unit
Close the input stream.
openOut : string -> outstream
The argument is the name of a file to be opened for writing.
openAppend : string -> outstream
The argument is the name of a file to be opened for appending.
output : outstream * string -> unit
Write the string to the file.
flushOut : outstream -> unit
Flush the output buffer, thus ensuring that all data that has been written to the file actually makes it there.
closeOut : outstream -> unit
Close the file.
fun copyFile (inputFileName, outputFileName) =
 val inFile = openIn inputFileName;
 val outFile = openOut outputFileName
 ( output (outFile, input inFile);
 flushOut outFile;
 closeOut outFile
(Note: this function copies the first 60 bytes from the input file to the output file. I assume this is controlled by some setting that I don't know about yet.)
If expressions
The if expression looks like this:
if then else
If the is true, then is evaluated and is the value of the expression, otherwise is evaluated and is the value of the expression.
Since this is an expression and not a statement, it must have a value; therefore, the else part is required.
Case expressions
The case expression looks like this:
case of
where a has the form:
 =>
 =>
 ...
 =>
First, the initial is evaluated, then its value is compared against each of the . When a matching is found, the corresponding is evaluated and becomes the value of the case expression.
The most common patterns are
case (N + 1) of 1 => "a" | 2 => "b" | 3 => "c" | 4 => "d";
case [1] of [] => "empty" | x::xs => "nonempty";
Because every expression must have a value, ML will warn you if it does not think you have a pattern for every possible case.
Sequence of expressions
We can execute a sequence of expressions by separating them with semicolons and enclosing the group in parentheses; the value of the sequence is the value of the last expression in the sequence. This is most useful with expressions evaluated for their side effects.
(print "Hello, "; print name; print "\n");
An "exception" is an error. You can declare new types of exceptions, with or without a parameter, as follows:
exception ;
 of ;
To signal that one of these exceptions has occurred, use
raise ;
The way you use exceptions is as follows:
 handle
where can perhaps raise an exception; if it does, the first rule in that matches the expression will be executed. If you raise an exception and fail to handle it, ML will give you an "uncaught exception" error.
The usual form of a function definition is
fun = ;
A function only has one parameter, but that parameter is frequently a tuple, for example,

Table of criteria: Everyday Depictions in a Sexualizing Context
Sexualized Everyday Depictions of Children
Quelle: I-KIZ-Zentrum für Kinderschutz im Internet
Unproblematic everyday depictions of children are often appropriated on the Internet and misused for sexual purposes. In order to shed light on the phenomenon, the competence centre at jugendschutz.net researched high-traffic Internet services and those which are relevant to the child abuse scene, in particular social networks, forums, blogs and websites.
Increasing opportunities for interaction on the Internet facilitate the transposition of everyday depictions to a sexual context. This can take place in many ways, in particular by the use of service-specific functions and structures. Linking up depictions with sexualized elements enables the perception of a child as a sexual object.
In order to identify typical elements that lead to the sexualisation of everyday depictions, the competence centre analysed around 400 sources and developed a grid that systematically records their characteristics. This is intended to simplify categorization and assist with assessment of the potential sexualisation of everyday depictions.

Abstract
Nordic walking and water aerobics are very popular forms of physical activity in the elderly population. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of regular health training on the venous blood flow in lower extremities and body composition in women over 50 years old. Twenty-four women of mean age 57.9 (± 3.43) years, randomly divided into three groups (Nordic walking, water aerobics, and non-training), participated in the study. The training lasted 8 weeks, with one-hour sessions twice a week. Dietary habits were not changed. Before and after training vein refilling time and the function of the venous pump of the lower extremities were measured by photoplethysmography. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance. Eight weeks of Nordic walking training improved the venous blood flow in lower extremities and normalized body composition in the direction of reducing chronic venous disorder risk factors. The average values of the refilling time variable (p = 0.04, p = 0.02, respectively) decreased in both the right and the left leg. After training a statistically significant increase in the venous pump function index was found only in the right leg (p = 0.04). A significant increase in fat-free mass, body cell mass and total body water was observed (p = 0.01), whereas body mass, the body mass index, and body fat decreased (p < 0.03). With regard to water aerobic training, no similar changes in the functions of the venous system or body composition were observed.
Abstract
Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has been used extensively as a dietary supplement for athletes and physically active people. HMB is a leucine metabolite, which is one of three branched chain amino acids. HMB plays multiple roles in the human body of which most important ones include protein metabolism, insulin activity and skeletal muscle hypertrophy. The ergogenic effects of HMB supplementation are related to the enhancement of sarcolemma integrity, inhibition of protein degradation (ubiquitin pathway), decreased cell apoptosis, increased protein synthesis (mTOR pathway), stimulation of the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH/IGF-1) axis and enhancement of muscle stem cells proliferation and differentiation. HMB supplementation has been carried out with various groups of athletes. In endurance and martial arts athletes, HMB supplementation revealed positive effects on specific aerobic capacity variables. Positive results were also disclosed in resistance trained athletes, where changes in strength, body fat and muscle mass as well as anaerobic performance and power output were observed. The purpose of this review was to present the main mechanisms of HMB action, especially related to muscle protein synthesis and degradation, and ergogenic effects on different types of sports and physical activities.

Located in Central Highlands geography zone, Dalat has the geographic coordinates from 11°48'36'' to 12°01'07'' north latitude and 108°36'27'' east longitude. Dalat shares borders with Lac Duong district in the north, Don Duong District in the east and southeast, Lam Ha District in the west and Duc Trong District in the southwest.
Dalat topography has the average height of 1,500 m above the sea level. The highest place in the city is Nha Bao Tang (1,532m) while the lowest one is Nguyen Tri Phuong valley (1,398.2m). Dalat terrain is classified into two distinct types including lowlands and mountainous areas. The lowlands have a shape of a basin having hills with round peaks and steep slopes. The average height of this region is about 1,500m.The mountainous areas are distributed surrounding the highlands. Mountains have the height of 1,700 meters forming a windbreak belt for the lowlands. In the direction of the north, Lang Biang range of mountains looks like a wall towards the northeast - southwest stretching from Da Sar stream to Dankia lake. The two highest peaks of the range has the height of 2,167 m and 2,064 m. Bi Doup and Cho Proline ranges of mountain are locate in the east and southeast of Dalat.
Because of lying in the altitude of 1,500 m and covering by ranges of mountain and forests, especially pine forests, Dalat climate is pretty mild and temperate all year round. Located in the tropical savanna climate, Dalat has two distinct seasons including rainy seasons and dry seasons. Rainy seasons last from May to October often witnessing the presence of the southwest monsoon winds. On the other hand, dry seasons are influenced by the northeast monsoon winds lasting from November to April. In dry seasons, Dalat is affected by the air mass of the South China Sea which brings the sunny weather. The weather in this season has less clouds and no rains with the lower temperature at night and the large temperature range. In rainy months, the northeast monsoon winds almost have no influence on Dalat anymore. It is replaced by the equatorial air mass moving from the south to the north. The southwest monsoon winds bring the major source of humidity causing heavy rains. However, due to the influence of the tropical air mass of Pacific, there are still some dry periods in rainy seasons.
Temperature: The average temperature in Dalat never exceeds 20°C even in the hottest months. In winter, the average temperature of Dalat is over 14°C. Diurnal temperature range in Dalat is very large with the average number of 11°C.
Sunshine hours: The total sunshine hours in the city are relative high, about 2,258 hours per year focused mainly from December to March in dry seasons. The total amount of radiation in Dalat is approximately 140 kCalo/cm2/year. In comparison to other regions, the amount of solar radiation in Dalat is not high; however, it brings the relatively low and mild temperature for the city.
Rainfall: On average, Dalat City has 161 rainy days with the total rainfall is 1,739 mm mostly focused on July, September and October. The rainfall from May to October accounts for 80% the total amount of one year.
Fog: The average number of days having fog is 80 - 85 days per year. However, this phenomenon appears mostly from February to May and from September to October.
Alternating between low hills and surrounding mountains, Dalat has over 20 streams belonging to a system of Cam Ly and Da Tam streams, and Da Nhim River system. These streams are the headwaters belonging to the basin of Dong Nai River. A half of these streams are shallow and only flow in rainy seasons. Cam Ly stream has 64.1 km in length derived from Lac Duong district flowing in the direction of north - south. This is the largest stream of Dalat having an important role in the creation of urban landscapes.
In addition, Dalat is known as the city of lakes and waterfalls with about 16 big and small lakes which are widely distributed. Xuan Huong Lake is located in the centre of the city. The total area of Xuan Huong Lake is 38 hectares created in 1919 during the construction of Dalat. Before 1986, Xuan Huong Lake and Than Tho Lake are the main sources providing water for the city. Nowadays, the water for daily activities of local people is taken from Dankia Lake (Lac Duong District).

Despite increasing levels of solar-PV penetration in electrical distribution networks, to date the inverters of these PV systems have not been significantly utilized for distribution network control. One particular area of interest for these inverters is their potential to inject/absorb reactive power to/from grid to help manage the voltage profile of their distribution feeder. Various reactive power management strategies have been proposed to address this issue using different voltage-reactive power relationships, but their effectiveness can be limited by competing performance objectives, or simply because the higher resistance characteristics of a typical LV feeder constrain the range of voltage regulation that can be achieved by reactive power injection.
This paper addresses this issue by proposing a combined strategy, where an electronic tap-changer is incorporated into the feeder distribution transformer to provide the feeder voltage regulation function, and the PV DG systems at each feeder bus are then used to minimize feeder losses by providing local load reactive power support. The investigation takes into account a variety of issues such as feeder impedance, dynamic transformer tap changing, different load types and levels of PV penetration. The results obtained from a detailed distribution feeder simulation model show that the combined strategy can very effectively regulate the distribution feeder voltage throughout an entire 24 hour period even with high solar irradiance fluctuations, while still significantly reducing feeder losses.

When it comes to establishing a unique and captivating brand, every visual element plays a crucial role. From your logo to the colors you choose, every detail contributes to the overall impression your brand leaves on its audience. One of the most effective ways to enhance your brand's visual presence is by utilizing stock photos that harmonize with your brand's identity and messaging. Here are some tips and tricks to help you create a perfect union between your brand and stock photos:
1. Know Your Brand's Personality
Before diving into the vast world of stock photos, take a moment to reflect on your brand's personality. Is it playful and energetic, or is it sophisticated and professional? Understanding your brand's essence will guide you in selecting stock photos that resonate with your target audience and align with your brand's character.
2. Align with Your Brand's Values and Message
Stock photos can be a powerful tool for communicating your brand's values and message visually. Choose images that convey the right emotions and portray the ideals your brand stands for. For example, if your brand focuses on sustainability, incorporating images of nature or eco-friendly practices can reinforce your commitment to the environment.
3. Consistency is Key
A cohesive visual identity is crucial for brand recognition. When selecting stock photos, be mindful of maintaining a consistent style across your website, social media, and other marketing materials. Consistency in color schemes, image composition, and overall aesthetics will help your brand appear polished and professional.
4. Think Beyond Literal Representations
Consider using stock photos that evoke emotions or concepts rather than literal representations. Abstract images or photos with symbolic elements can spark curiosity and create a lasting impact on your audience. By moving away from traditional clichés, you can bring a fresh perspective to your brand's visual storytelling.
5. Customize to Make It Your Own
Many stock photo websites offer editing capabilities, allowing you to tailor the images to fit your brand's unique style even further. With simple modifications like cropping, adjusting color tones, or adding overlays, you can enhance the visual coherence between your brand and the selected stock photos.
6. Don't Overdo It
While stock photos can undoubtedly elevate your brand's appeal, it's essential not to rely too heavily on them. Balance is key, and incorporating authentic, original visuals alongside stock photos can create a more genuine and relatable brand image. Custom photoshoots or user-generated content can provide an added layer of authenticity to your brand's visual repertoire.
Remember, stock photos are a fantastic resource for supporting your brand's visual narrative, but they should never define your entire brand identity. By carefully selecting and harmonizing stock photos with your brand's personality, values, and message, you can create a consistent and captivating visual experience that resonates with your audience.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented and major disruptive event for the global economy. The measures taken to contain the pandemic has triggered a major global downturn, but the full impact and scale of risks facing the financial system remain uncertain as the situation evolves.
Along with the rest of the financial system, Institutions offering Islamic Financial Services (IIFS) are likely to face both immediate and future challenges. It raises number of pertinent questions for regulators supervising IIFS and for IIFS themselves regarding whether there are any Islamic finance specificities that create specific implications, risks or challenges which require a different regulatory or supervisory approach from that of conventional financial institutions. Additionally, while governments, central banks, regulators, and international organisations have moved rapidly to address the immediate effects of COVID-19, questions remain on how policy should continue to evolve to preserve financial stability and address the potential medium and longer term effects of COVID-19 on the financial system, and what these might be for the IIFS. This executive programme aims to try and answer some of these crucial questions and to encourage discussion, debate and sharing of country challenges, experiences and policy approaches.
- To discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the global financial system and global economy and its implications for the overall risk environment of IIFS
- To discuss the implications of COVID-19 for IIFS and identify specific risk factors that might arise in relation to specificities of IIFS
- To discuss the areas where regulatory responses may be needed to address the impact of COVID-19 to ensure the resilience and stability of IIFS and the various approaches that are being taken by different regulators
The details of the Executive Programe are as follow:
Date: 7 July 2020
Time: 14:30 - 17:50 (Malaysia time)
Venue: via web conference/webinar
*****This Executive Programme is free for all categories of IFSB members. For Non-Members a participation fee of USD100 will be applicable*****

Like many industrialized nations, Canada has an efficient health care system. However, unlike most similar countries, it also has a large number of rural citizens, with 15 percent of its population living away from urbanized areas. This demographic intersection has resulted in Canada's strong emphasis on telehealth. In fact, according to a report from the government-funded Canada Health Infoway, telehealth has grown by 35 percent in five years.
CTV News reports on the study, which found that over 5,700 remote medical stations have been built in that time span. Traditionally, rural Canadians could only call a nurse for help with a medical problem. Now, they can apply to have health monitoring equipment installed in their home or have a web chat with a doctor.
This system is not just for doctor-patient conversations, either. Increasingly, doctors are collaborating with one another in Canada via video conferences. Rather than expensive travel arrangements for consultations, Canadian doctors can use government-funded telehealth facilities to ask questions outside of their specialty or get a second opinion quickly.

The Challenge of Residency at Sage College, 1900s–1920s
In 1929, Pauline Davis and Ruth Peyton were denied residency in Sage College. The Dean of Women, R. Louise Fitch, made the decision, and President Livingston Farrand (_PHONE_) upheld it. Their actions contrasted with Cornells open door policy, which called for decisions about residency to be based on merit, not on race, religion, or creed. In previous decades, African-American women such as Jessie Fauset (Class of 1905) had lived at Sage College. In 1911, Farrands predecessor, Jacob Gould Schurman (_PHONE_), had ruled in favor of admitting two African-American women to Sage College after 269 white women students had petitioned against them. Schurman declared, University doors must be open to all students irrespective of race or color or creed... By the time the decision was made, however, the two African-American women had already left Cornell.

In electric power system, disturbance detection has become an important part of grid operation and refers to the detection of a voltage and current excursion caused by the wide variety of electromagnetic phenomena. This paper proposes a computationally efficient and robust algorithm for synchronized measurement technology (SMT) supported online disturbance detection, suitable for AC and HVDC grids. The proposed algorithm is based on the robust median absolute deviation sample dispersion measure to locate dataset outliers. The algorithm is capable of identifying the disturbance occurrence and clearance measurement sample based on the dynamic criteria, driven by present power system conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by real-time simulations using a cyber-physical simulation platform, as a co-simulation between the SMT supported electric power system model and underlying ICT infrastructure. The presented results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, making it suitable for an AC and HVDC online disturbance detection application or as a pre-step of backup protection schemes.

Students are the reason that Jesuit Academy exists! We think it's important that you meet them and learn about the things Jesuit students are accomplishing in the classroom and in their communities. Look forward to a student feature each month.
This month, we introduce you to 7th grader Henry. For the past two summers, Henry has led tours of the Great Plains Black History Museum's exhibit of the Negro Baseball League. This exhibit was put on in conjunction with the College World Series.
Henry first found out about the opportunity in 5th grade. Students across Omaha were asked to read the book Black Diamond: The Story of the Negro Baseball Leagues and then write a 500 word essay. Students were then interviewed, with only 12 students selected to be tour guides. Henry was the only student from a private school selected. Henry served as a tour guide in the summers prior to 6th and 7th grade.
Henry likes everything about being a tour guide. The most famous person he has given a tour to is Omaha City Councilman Ben Gray.
Should the exhibit return for another year, Henry will be back on the job and looking forward to your visit.
Great job Henry!

For 35 years, a French coastal community has been haunted by the ghost of the world's most iconic novelty telephone.
Since the 1980s, pieces of Garfield phones have continually washed ashore in Brittany, puzzling locals and irking environmentalists. Last year alone, 200 pieces were reportedly found, a plague of orange shards covering the beach with the embodiment of our collective Monday-morning ennui.
Decades ago, the phone was wildly popular, much like its cartoon inspiration. Adding a shot of sardonic silliness to any room it occupied, these Garfield phones waited in slumber, only opening their eyes when answered and falling asleep as soon as calls ended.
Collectors still seek out the vintage phones, but residents of Iroise coast have little difficulty finding them—or, at least, their pumpkin-hued shrapnel.
Sea-worn scraps of the weary feline have become so ubiquitous on the beaches of the Finistère region that the Ar Vilantsou anti-litter group recently began using the phone as an emblem of beach pollution in the region, according to France Info.
That campaign and the ensuing media coverage reportedly got the attention of a local farmer who knew the source of the phones all along.
René Morvan told France Info he was 19 or 20 when a big storm took place in the early 1980s. After the tempest, he and his brothers were exploring caves that could only be accessed during low tide, and found a large container filled with the phones.
Morvan hasn't returned to the cave in about 30 years, but he escorted a team of journalists and Ar Vilantsou representatives to the spot. The team found parts of a shipping container buried in the crag, and orange phone fragments scattered around the cave and stuck between stones.
"The mystery is solved," Dominique, an Ar Vilantsou volunteer, told France Info. "We found our treasure."

Level I: Primary Integration
Dąbrowski distinguished the two subgroups of Level I by degree: "the state of primary integration is a state contrary to mental health. A fairly high degree of primary integration is present in the average person; a very high degree of primary integration is present in the psychopath". Marked by selfishness and egocentrism (both reticent and explicit), those at level one development generally seek self-fulfillment above all... they adhere strongly to the phrase "the end justifies the means", sometimes disregarding the severity of the "means". Many people who are considered "leaders" often fall into this category.
A vast majority of people either do not break down their primitive integration at all, or after a relatively short period of disintegration, usually experienced at the time of adolescence and early youth, end in a reintegration at the former level or in partial integration of some of the functions at slightly higher levels, without a transformation of the whole mental structure.
Level II: Unilevel Disintegration
The prominent feature of this level is an initial, brief and often intense crisis or series of crises. Crises are spontaneous and occur on only one level. These crises involve alternatives that may appear to be different but ultimately are on the same level.
Conflicts on the same level (horizontal) produce ambitendencies and ambivalences: the person is equally attracted by different but equivalent choices on the same level (ambitendencies) and is not able to decide what to do because he or she has no real preference between the choices (ambivalences). If developmental forces are strong enough, ultimately, the person is thrust into an existential crisis.... During this phase, existential despair is the predominant emotion. The resolution of this phase begins as individually chosen values begin to replace social mores that have been ingrained by rote and are integrated into a new hierarchy of personal values. These new values often conflict with the person's previous social values.
Positive maladjustment prevails. For Dąbrowski, these crises represent a strong potential for development toward personal growth and mental health. Using a positive definition, mental health reflects more than social conformity: it involves a careful, personal examination of the world and of one's values, leading to the development of an individual personality.
Level II is a transitional period. Dąbrowski said you either fall back (reintegration on a lower level), move ahead or end negatively, in suicide or psychosis.
The transition from Level II to Level III involves a fundamental shift that requires a phenomenal amount of energy. This period is the crossroads of development: from here one must either progress or regress. The struggle between Dąbrowski's three factors reflects this transitional crisis: "Do I follow my instincts (first factor), my teachings (second factor) or my heart (third factor)?" The developmental answer is to transform one's lower instincts (automatic reactions like anger) into positive motivation, to resist rote and social answers, and to listen to one's inner sense of what one ought to do.
Level III: Spontaneous Multilevel Disintegration
Level III describes a new type of conflict: a vertical conflict between two alternatives that are not simply different, but that exist on different levels. One is genuinely higher and the other is lower in comparison. These vertical conflicts initially arise from involuntary perceptions of higher versus lower choices in life. You just look at something, maybe for the 1000th time (to use the words of G. K. Chesterton), and it strikes you — you see this one thing differently and once you do, it changes things. You can no longer "go back and see it the way you did before." Dąbrowski called this vertical dimension multilevelness. Multilevelness is a gradual realization of the "possibility of the higher" (a phrase Dąbrowski used frequently) and of the subsequent contrasts between the higher and the lower in life.... Dąbrowski believed that the authentic individual would choose the higher path as the clear and obvious one to follow (erasing the ambivalences and ambitendencies of unilevel conflicts). If the person's actual behavior subsequently falls short of the ideal, internal disharmony and a drive to review and reconstruct one's life often follow. Multilevelness thus represents a new and powerful type of conflict, a conflict that is developmental in Dąbrowski's approach.
These vertical conflicts are critical in leading to autonomy and advanced personality growth. If the person is to achieve higher levels, the shift to multilevelness must occur. If a person does not have the developmental potential to move into a multilevel view, then he or she will fall back from the crises of Level II to reintegrate at Level I. In the shift to multilevelness, the horizontal (unilevel), stimulus-response model of life is replaced by a vertical and hierarchical analysis. This vertical view becomes anchored by one's emerging individual value structure, and all events are seen in relation to personal ideals. These personal value ideals become the personality ideal: how the person wants to live his or her life. As events in life are seen in relation to this multilevel, vertical view, it becomes impossible to support positions that favor the lower course when higher goals can be identified (or imagined).
Level IV: Directed Multilevel Disintegration
In Level IV the person takes full control of his or her development. The involuntary spontaneous development of Level III is replaced by a deliberate, conscious and self-directed review of life from the multilevel perspective. This level marks the real emergence of the third factor, described by Dąbrowski as an autonomous factor "of conscious choice (valuation) by which one affirms or rejects certain qualities in oneself and in one's environment".The person consciously reviews his or her existing belief system and tries to replace lower, automatic views and reactions with carefully thought out, examined and chosen ideals. These new values will increasingly be reflected in the person's behavior. Behavior becomes less reactive, less automatic and more deliberate as behavioral choices fall under the influence of the person's higher, chosen ideals.
Social mores are reviewed and re-accepted by a conscious internalization when the individual feels it is appropriate.
Given their genuine (authentic) prosocial outlook, people achieving higher development also raise the level of their society.... These positions often conflict with the status quo of a lower society (positive maladjustment). In other words, to be maladjusted to a low-level society is a positive feature.
Level V: Secondary Integration
The fifth level displays an integrated and harmonious character, but one vastly different from that at the first level. At this highest level, one's behavior is guided by conscious, carefully weighed decisions based on an individualized and chosen hierarchy of personal values. Behavior conforms to this inner standard of how life ought to be lived and, thus, little inner conflict arises.
Level V is often marked by creative expression. Especially at Level V, problem solving and art represent the highest and noblest features of human life. Art captures the innermost emotional states and is based on a deep empathy and understanding of the subject. Often, human suffering and sacrifice are the subjects of these works. Truly visionary works, works that are unique and novel, are created by people expressing a vision unrestrained by convention. Advances in society, through politics, philosophy and religion, are therefore commonly associated with strong individual creativity or accomplishments.

By harnessing the potential of these alloy systems, health tourism in Turkey can continue to provide cutting-edge medical solutions to patients around the world.
Work Hardening
Understanding the Role of Atom Movement in Work Hardening
Work hardening is a common phenomenon in materials science and engineering, where the strength and hardness of a material increase as it is deformed or worked. This process is primarily driven by the movement of atoms within the material's crystal lattice. In this article, we will explore the various mechanisms of atom movement, including diffusion, vacancies, interstitials, and dislocations, and how they contribute to work hardening.
Diffusion is the process by which atoms move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration. In work hardening, diffusion plays a crucial role in redistributing atoms and creating a more uniform structure. As a material is deformed, the movement of atoms helps to eliminate defects and dislocations, leading to increased strength and hardness.
Vacancies are defects in the crystal lattice where an atom is missing from its expected position. These vacancies can migrate within the lattice, allowing atoms to move and rearrange themselves. In work hardening, vacancies play a significant role in atom movement, as they provide pathways for diffusion and can help in the elimination of dislocations.
Interstitials, on the other hand, are atoms that occupy positions between the regular lattice sites. These interstitial atoms can move within the lattice, contributing to work hardening by enhancing the diffusion of atoms and aiding in the elimination of defects.
Dislocations are linear defects in the crystal lattice, where there is a mismatch in the arrangement of atoms along the slip plane. These dislocations can move under the influence of external forces, allowing for plastic deformation of the material. As dislocations move and interact, they generate stress fields, causing atom movement and leading to work hardening.
Understanding the intricate processes of atom movement, including diffusion, vacancies, interstitials, and dislocations, is essential in comprehending the phenomenon of work hardening. By manipulating these mechanisms, engineers and scientists can design materials with enhanced strength and durability.

Understanding Crystal Defects and Their Impact on Health
Crystal defects are imperfections within the structure of a crystal that can have significant implications for health and well-being. These defects can manifest in various forms, including point defects, line defects, surface defects, and volume defects. In this article, we will delve into the different types of crystal defects and explore their potential effects on our health.
Point defects refer to the presence of irregularities at specific points within the crystal lattice. These defects can be categorized into vacancies, interstitials, and impurities. Vacancies occur when atoms are missing from their lattice positions, while interstitials are atoms that occupy spaces between lattice points. Impurities, on the other hand, are foreign atoms that have infiltrated the crystal lattice.
Line defects, also known as dislocations, are defects that occur along lines within the crystal structure. These defects can arise due to the presence of extra or missing atoms in the lattice, resulting in a deviation from the ideal crystal structure. Line defects can have a profound impact on the mechanical properties of crystals, influencing their strength, elasticity, and overall stability.
Surface defects refer to irregularities that occur at the surface of a crystal. These defects can include steps, terraces, and kinks, which can affect the crystal's surface energy and reactivity. Surface defects can play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as cell adhesion and protein binding, making them relevant to health-related applications.
Volume defects, also known as bulk defects, occur within the internal structure of a crystal. These defects can arise due to structural instabilities, impurities, or crystal growth conditions. Volume defects can affect the crystal's optical, electrical, and thermal properties, potentially influencing the performance of devices used in healthcare settings.
Understanding crystal defects and their impact on health is particularly relevant in the context of health tourism in Turkey. As a leading destination for medical treatments, Turkey offers state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in various healthcare fields. By considering the role of crystal defects in health-related applications, researchers and healthcare professionals can further enhance the quality and effectiveness of medical treatments offered in the country.
In conclusion, crystal defects, including point defects, line defects, surface defects, and volume defects, can have significant implications for health. By studying and understanding these defects, researchers and healthcare professionals can better comprehend their impact on various health-related applications. As Turkey continues to excel in health tourism, considering the role of crystal defects can contribute to advancing medical treatments and improving patient outcomes.

Were Cavemen bisexuals?
Archeologists have discovered 3,000-year-old rock carvings that indicate habitants during that time may have been bisexuals, Gay Star News reports.
The Kangjiashimenji Petroglyphs, the rock carvings that were discovered in a remote region in northwest China in the 80s, show that bisexuality may have been normal thousands of years ago. Archaeologist Wang Binghua found the carvings but not much has been written about them. But in a new article by Mary Mycio of Slate Magazine, the writer says the carvings show 100 figures displaying bisexuality.
"The few scholars who have studied the petroglyphs think that the larger-than-life hourglass figures that begin the tableau symbolize females," Mycio writes. "They have stylized triangular torsos, shapely hips and legs, and they wear conical headdresses with wispy decorations. Male images are smaller triangles with stick legs and bare heads. Ithyphallic is archeology-talk for 'erect penis,' and nearly all of the males have one."
She goes on to stay that there is a third set of figures, which appear to be bisexual. "Combining elements of males and females, they are ithyphallic but wear female headwear, a decoration on the chest, and sometimes a mask. They might be shamans," Mycio writes.
Mycio also describes four "scenes" where nine large women and two smaller men dance hysterically "around a large ithyphallic bisexual about to penetrate a small hourglass female with an explicit vulva." In another scene, "a second bisexual in a monkey mask is about to penetrate a small, faceless female" and another shows "a chorus line of infants emerges from a small female being penetrated simultaneously by a male and a bisexual while three more ithyphallic males await their turn."
The last scene does not show any women at all.

Evaluation of Superpave Fine Aggregate Angularity Specification
MetadataShow full item record
The validity of the Superpave fine aggregate angularity (FAA) requirement is questioned by both the owner agencies and the paving and aggregate industries. The FAA test is based on the assumption that more fractured faces will result in higher void content in the loosely compacted sample; however, this assumption is not always true. Some agencies have found that cubical shaped particles, even with 100 percent fractured faces, may not meet the FAA requirement for high-volume traffic. State agencies are concerned that local materials, previously considered acceptable and which have provided good field performance, cannot meet the Superpave requirements. Researchers evaluated angularity of 23 fine aggregates representing most types of paving aggregates used in the USA using seven different procedures: FAA test, direct shear test, compacted aggregate resistance (CAR) test, three different image analyses, and visual inspection. The three image analyses techniques included Hough Transform at University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR), unified image analysis at Washington State University (WSU), and VDG-40 videograder at Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC). A small study was performed to evaluate relative rutting resistance of HMA containing fines with different particle shape parameters using the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA). The FAA test method does not consistently identify angular, cubical aggregates as high quality materials. There is a fair correlation between the CAR stability value and angle of internal friction (AIF) from the direct shear test. No correlation was found between FAA and CAR stability or between FAA and AIF. Fairly good correlations were found between FAA and all three image analysis methods. Some cubical crushed aggregates with FAA values less than 45 gave very high values of CAR stability, AIF, and 'angularity' from imaging techniques. Moreover, the three image analysis methods exhibited good correlation among themselves. A statistical analysis of the SHRP-LTPP (Strategic Highway Research Program-Long-Term Pavement Performance) database revealed no significant evidence relationship between FAA and rutting. This lack of relationship is not surprising since many uncontrolled factors contribute to pavement rutting. The APA study revealed that FAA is not sensitive to rut resistance of HMA mixtures. Image analysis methods appear promising for measuring fine aggregate angularity. Until a suitable replacement method(s) for FAA can be identified, the authors recommend that the FAA criteria be lowered from 45 to 43 for 100 percent crushed aggregate. Analysis of the FAA versus rutting data should be examined later as the amount of data in the SHRP-LTTP database is expanded.

* Imagine that you have some data on an unemployed population. You would like to give job training to some of these workers however you are concerned that those who volunteer to be part of the job training program are fundamentally different than those who did not sign up for the job training.
* We have data on 2000 individuals
set obs 2000
* Educational attainment is known
gen education = rnormal()
gen ability = rnormal()
gen motivation = rnormal()
* Ability and motivation levels are unobservable.
* Thoe who have greater motivation are more likely to sign up for the job training program.
gen p_sign_up = normal(motivation)
* The decision to seek trianing or not is a random one.
gen sign_up = rbinomial(1,p_sign_up)
* If we give training to everybody that signs up then
gen train = sign_up
* Once, workers have recieved training the training has some benefit on expected earnings.
gen u = rnormal()
gen exp_earn = ability + 2*education + motivation + train*.5 + u*2
* Let's see how well we can estimate the returns to training.
reg exp_earn train education
* We can see that because ability (part of the error term) is correlated with assignment to training selection bias into training is causing it to look more effective than it actually is.
* Alternatively, when choosing who to give training to we could instead choose to give it only to a random selection of those who signed up for training.
gen train2 = rbinomial(1,.5) if sign_u==1
replace train2 = 0 if train2 ==.
gen exp_earn2 = ability + 2*education + motivation + train2*.5 + u*2
* If we stop there then we actually have not helped anything.
reg exp_earn2 train2 education
* However, if we restrict our estimation to only people who signed up for the training program we can use the randomness of the program to estimate unbiased results.
reg exp_earn2 train2 education if sign_up==1
* The only catch is that now we cannot argue that we have an unbiased estimate of the effect of the training program for the entire population. Only for those that chose to sign up. This is not entirely a bad thing. If we make the program voluntary then it will be based on sign up anyways. Thus selecting based on signing up is not an unreasonable restriction.

The Real Cost of a Truck Roll
Back to Top
If you're a utility estimating the cost to roll a truck, you're likely low-balling the amount. Many utilities take an ultra-conservative guess, claiming truck rolls each average $250 to $500. But the reality is, there are many factors that can cause the cost to escalate quickly.
Labor makes up the bulk of truck-roll costs, and these totals can vary dramatically based on time, conditions, and labor grade. The sheer distance from your service center to the fault will affect the number labor hours you're paying for—short or long. On one side of the spectrum, short trip times have to meet a minimum number of hours to justify the crew call out. On the other side, if your service centers aren't distributed in the area or if faults occur on the edge of the grid, it could take linemen a few hours to reach the job site. Round trip, that could add up to an entire day's pay solely in drive time.
You might try to predict costs based on time, but the problem is, these calculations are often based on a "good day scenario." Many faults or issues occur on the "bad days," when there are high winds, torrential rains, or relentless snow, resulting in a stack of multiple work orders that must be prioritized. With these conditions, it takes longer to drive, longer to patrol the line, and longer to "work down the list" and make repairs. As the hours add up and the weather gets worse, labor rates can bump up to overtime and hazard pay.
In addition to labor, there's the cost of materials, including the truck itself, along with gas and insurance. Whether you charge trucks per job or if you are budgeting these items under general operation and maintenance, they're still considered as a cost around each truck roll, no matter from which line item you're pulling the money.
While these are the hard dollars to send a truck and crew out, there's also the opportunity cost. When your system goes down, you're losing the revenue you would have gained if your system had stayed online. Your linemen's time is going toward making repairs instead of executing more profitable tasks. So the cost of the truck roll can be more than just the labor hours and materials; it could be the difference between what you spent and what you could have earned or accomplished elsewhere.
And then there's the cost utilities rarely consider: is the call out for the truck real? The majority of faults on overhead lines are temporary in nature, so many times utilities will roll a truck and crew to a location where ultimately there is "no cause found." Not addressing these cause-less situations is senseless. Like raking leaves in a windstorm or shoveling sand in the desert, you feel productive because you're working, but what's the point? Eliminating needless truck rolls eliminates needless work and needless expense. It's an outdated view to believe that rolling a truck for a temporary fault is just a cost of doing business. Investing in equipment upgrades and better protection strategies will eradicate the unneeded truck roll expense—for good.
No matter the final dollar amount, every truck roll generates an expense to you. More importantly, each time you roll a truck, you're putting your linemen—your own employees—in harm's way. If you can implement strategies that save needless truck rolls—saving your linemen from risk and saving you money every day—why wouldn't you?
I'd be interested in learning what your thoughts are about managing truck rolls more effectively in the Comments section below.

History of knitting
The actual origins of knitting are hard to trace. Historic evidence of knitted pieces have been found in several, diverse countries such as Egypt, England, Holland, Scotland, Spain, Germany, and so on. Apparently, the earliest evidence of knitted clothing found were fragments of socks that were made in Egypt sometime between 1000 and 1300 A.D. But, even this is disputed since some scholars say that these socks were not knitted but were the result of naalebinding (another fabric making technique).
The first trade union devoted to knitting professionals was founded in 1527 in Paris. It was originally a male-only occupation but soon became a household activity when knitted stockings became extremely popular. Apparently, by the lates 1600's between one and two million of these knitted stockings were exported from Britain to various parts of Europe.
Socks and stockings seem to be the earliest pieces of knitted clothing because this technique allowed for shaping the cloth to mold to the many angles of the foot. But this wasn't the only effective and creative use of hand knitting.
According to one source I checked, "Legend has it that sailors wore sweaters with their family pattern knit into them so that their bodies could be identified if they died at sea."4 While it's a morbid thing to think about, it is a notable application of the craft.
Whatever its true origins, knitting, crocheting, naalbinding and various other crafts of this nature have a long, rich history. As someone who has become a recent convert, I can easily see why these techniques have survived for so long.
