|MOLLUSCA : NUDIBRANCHIA : Dotidae||SNAILS, SLUGS, ETC.|
Description: Doto pinnatifida is one of the largest species of the genus Doto, large individuals reaching 30mm in length. It is characterised by black tipped tubercles on the sides of the body and on the cerata. Occasionally there are a few of these tubercles on the dorsum. The rhinophore sheaths have a series of black spots around the edges.
Habitat: The sole prey of this animal is the hydroid Nemertesia antennina. The spawn is a long pleated ribbon, laid on the stem of the hydroid.
Distribution: Widespread and common in the British Isles. The species' range extends as far north as Scandinavia and south to northern Spain.
Similar Species: The only other Doto species with tubercles on the body is Doto tuberculata, a smaller animal with tubercles arranged in irregular rows across the back, between the cerata.

For several years the scientists preserved the secret of the shocking data of interpretation of photographs of our planet from space. In the ice of the North Pole area a huge hole could be clearly seen.
Soon a similar hole was discovered in Venus. Astronomers were shocked and questioned if these planets are hollow inside and what they have in their cores.

 Do you agree ordisagree with the following statement? Advertising is the only main cause forpeople's unhealthy eating habits.
 看到这个题目，同学们立刻会开始想，有没有other reasons for unhealthy habits，想出三条如：
 1.People's tightschedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours;
 2. Sometimes peopleare eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go on "endlessdiets";
 3. Bearing heavyburden both physically and mentally, some consider eating constantly as theirmost effective stress reliever.综上所述，advertising is not the only cause.
 这个写法看起来非常完备，但其实犯了一个不起眼却严重的错误——题目不是要我们证明it is not the only cause，而是要我们去证明it is notthe only main cause。多一个"main"，意思是很不一样的。
 如果我们只需要证明it is notthe only cause，那么找出other causes即可即例中的写法。但是，如果我们要证明it is not the only main cause，就需要证明other causesthat we mentioned are also main causes，这就需要在每一段中加上一些专门的说明。或者，更简单的办法是去证明advertising is not even a cause,直接在每段的末尾加上advertising与该段所论述的unhealthyeating habit无关的论述即可。
 If it is not acause, how can it be the only main cause?这样一来，就不用通过证明还有其他maincause来反驳了，事实上，证明某种cause是main cause还是挺有难度的，因此笔者推荐同学们用后一种方式进行论述。
 1.People's tightschedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours, and it is obvious thatthey are too busy to be influenced by advertising;
 2. Sometimes peopleare eager to lose weight or to keep fit excessive dieting, and this is morelike a result of human nature, the pursuit of beauty, but not advertising;
 3. Bearing heavy burden both physically and mentally, some considereating constantly as their most effective stress reliever, and it is quiteclear that no advertising encourages them to do so.

Eat More Beaver
Missourians have a healthy appetite for wild game meat. Some say raccoon tastes better than roast beef.
Still, Harr is optimistic that as long as there are open-air markets, the demand for his meat will continue. "The younger generations may turn their nose up at it in public, but when it's on the dinner table, they'll eat it."
That few people today eat varmints does little to mitigate their role in America's culinary history.
Frozen raccoon carcasses? Now that's worth
a closer look!

Jennifer Silverberg
Larry Forgione, proprietor of An American Place, honed his beaver-cooking skills with the legendary James Beard.
For centuries beaver was considered a delicacy among Native American tribes. In the more recent past, beaver provided much sustenance for pioneers, its meat a staple for the men of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Muskrat, sold under the pseudonym "marsh hare," was a popular turn-of-the-century dish in many of the finer restaurants of the northeast. Raccoon and possum meat continues to be highly sought-after throughout the American South.
When Pierre Laclede and August Chouteau founded St. Louis in 1763, the area was the largest fur-collection point in the world. Think our ancestors didn't eat beaver every now and again?
The definitive book on varmint-eating in America has yet to be written, but most culinary scholars point to the nation's population shift last century as the primary reason the food has all but disappeared from the American palate.
"This is a phenomenon of the emerging middle class and industrialization," says S.G.B. Tennant Jr., author of the game cookbook Wild at the Table. "Prior to that point, game is what kept people alive. It was America's first food."
As more and more people moved off the farm last century, they left behind the traditions of their rural heritage, including the trapping and eating of animals. Perhaps the swan song for the meat came in 1997 when Joy of Cooking, the nation's most authoritative cookbook, removed its recipes for beaver, muskrat, possum and raccoon. The recipes no longer reflected the "modern tastes" of America.
Even among the dozens of cookbooks dedicated to wild game, few pay heed to recipes concerning these delicacies. The L.L. Bean Game and Fish Cookbook, perhaps the foremost depository of recipes for North American game, likens the taste of muskrat to that of duck, and sort of like turtle. Raccoon the book describes as tasting akin to squirrel and better than rabbit.
In his book Fowl and Game Cookery, the late James Beard, considered by many the "godfather" of American cuisine, describes muskrat as having a pleasant flavor but filled with so many bones that "it's hardly worth the effort."
Janie Hibler, author of Wild About Game, writes that an old beaver tastes like "the underside of a Mexican saddle." A.D. Livingston, author of the Complete Fish & Game Cookbook, suggests that a trapped possum be fed milk and grain for several days in an attempt to "clean out" the otherwise foul taste of the creature.
Looking for some local advice, we contacted Larry Forgione, owner of the much-ballyhooed new downtown restaurant An American Place. An acolyte of Beard, Forgione has earned acclaim as much for his culinary skills as for his dedication to only using food grown and harvested in the United States.
So is Forgione surprised that people still eat this stuff? Not at all. In the mid-'80s he served marsh hare in one of his New York City restaurants.
"I think what people don't realize is that a lot of this type of food was extremely popular at the turn of the century," he says. "Back then people ate everything they killed, which was a good thing."
Fur-trapping, though not as popular as it once was, is still practiced in this region in genocidal proportions.
Last year trappers in Missouri and Illinois harvested more than 166,000 raccoons, 25,000 possums, 45,000 muskrats and nearly 15,000 beavers. Still, state conservationists say populations of fur-bearing mammals in the two states remain at near-record highs. Concerned that the burgeoning numbers of varmints may lead to starvation and disease, the Missouri Department of Conservation has extended the trapping season this year by an extra three weeks -- the first time it has done so in 30 years.
But for all they do in helping control animal populations, trappers remain a suspicious lot. The trappers that supply Harr with his meat declined interviews for this story. Trappers we were able to contact would not allow us to accompany them as they checked their traps, and several requested that we not print their names.
The reason for the reticence, they say, comes from their fear of the anti-fur movement. Since the founding of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and similar splinter groups in the early 1980s, the price of fur in the United States has plummeted. Where 25 years ago a raccoon pelt brought a trapper as much as $30, today it commands just $10 to $15 in the overseas markets of Greece, Russia, China and Korea -- the major players in the international fur trade.
"It's a shame we have to send our fur overseas," says 73-year-old Harry Deatherage, a farmer in Granite City who has trapped these parts for more than 50 years. "If it wasn't for the 'antis' [the anti-fur movement], this would be a big market."
Deatherage is one of perhaps a few dozen trappers who continue to ply their craft in the St. Louis metropolitan area, running his trap line in suburban neighborhoods that twenty years ago were farmland. Where he once tracked his prey following paw prints, droppings and other tell-tale signs of wildlife, today Deatherage scopes out toppled trash cans, nuisance reports and indignant homeowners.

Is Hyperion made of a spongy material?
Is this Saturnian moon really as soft and spongy as it looks?
Hyperion looks soft and spongy to the touch ￼
Saturn's moon, Hyperion, looks soft and spongy to the touch
Asked by Jessica Wills
The composition of Saturn's moon Hyperion is very different to that of a sponge. We believe the moon is most likely made up primarily of water ice, with only a small amount of rock and other frozen molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane. Sponges are generally made of long, stringy polymer molecules, which aren't commonly found outside Earth.
Hyperion does have some similarities with a sponge, as it's thought the moon could have been formed by small chunks of ice and rock that haven't been fully compacted together by gravity. This might be why the moon is so porous.
The most notable similarity of Hyperion to a sponge is its appearance. Many unusual, sharp-edged craters cover the moon's surface, making it look much like a soft sponge-like world.

a female, the oesophagus is 2 inches 10 twelfths long; the intestine 31 inches long.
In all these individuals and several others, the stomach contained a great quantity of particles of white quartz, with remains of seeds; and in the oesophagus of one was an oat seed entire.
Although this bird is in its habits very similar to the Crossbills, and feeds on the same sort of food, it differs from them in the form and extent of its crop, in having the gizzard much larger, and the intestines more than double the length, in proportion to the size of the bird.

. Currently, the only valid signature scheme is v1. To aid with testing, Stripe sends an additional signature with a fake v0 scheme, for test-mode events.
 Stripe-Signature: t=_PHONE_,
 v1=5257a869e7ecebeda32affa62cdca3fa51cad7e77a0e56ff536d0ce8e108d8bd,
 v0=6ffbb59b2300aae63f272406069a9788598b792a944a07aba816edb039989a39

 Note that newlines have been added in the example above for clarity, but a real Stripe-Signature header will be all one line.
 Stripe generates signatures using a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) with SHA-256. To prevent downgrade attacks, you should ignore all schemes that are not v1.
 It is possible to have multiple signatures with the same scheme/secret pair. This can happen when you roll an endpoint's secret from the Dashboard, and choose to keep the previous secret active for up to 24 hours. During this time, your endpoint has multiple active secrets and Stripe generates one signature for each secret.
 Step 1: Extract the timestamp and signatures from the header
 Split the header, using the , character as the separator, to get a list of elements. Then split each element, using the = character as the separator, to get a prefix and value pair.
 The value for the prefix t corresponds to the timestamp, and v1 corresponds to the signature(s). You can discard all other elements.
 Step 2: Prepare the signed_payload string
 You achieve this by concatenating:
 - The timestamp (as a string)
 - The character .
 - The actual JSON payload (i.e., the request's body)
 Step 3: Determine the expected signature
 Compute an HMAC with the SHA256 hash function. Use the endpoint's signing secret as the key, and use the signed_payload string as the message.
 Step 4: Compare signatures
 Compare the signature(s) in the header to the expected signature. If a signature matches, compute the difference between the current timestamp and the received timestamp, then decide if the difference is within your tolerance.
 To protect against timing attacks, use a constant-time string comparison to compare the expected signature to each of the received signatures.

What is the difference between a chisel plow and disc ripper? A chisel plow consists of a narrow and two-faced shovel to shuffle the upper layer of the soil, whereas a disc ripper's main task is to deep tillage using a metal disk.
Chisel plow and disk ripper- a set of complicated debate to win. Both are lawn maintenance tools with a plethora of differences that can blow your mind.
However, today we shall endeavor to explain the chisel plow vs disc facts and all the complications regarding these farming tools. And this composition will cover only the vital spikes which depend on my standpoints.
Chisel Plow Vs Disc Ripper
|Shattering is the prime task.
|Can break the compacted soil.
|Can reach at most 30 CM below the ground.
|Can reach at most 90 CM of the ground.
|Allows drainage and airflow less than a ripper.
|Allows drainage and airflow densely.
|Requires moist soil.
|Requires dry soil.
|Primary level tool.
|Advanced level tool.
Before jumping to the differences, we must inform you not to be confused with the question, chisel plow or disc harrow? or both of them.
A disc harrow is a piece of equipment to prepare the soil to throw the seeds and germination.
It is also advantageous for removing unnecessary weeds. Nonetheless, too much utilization of this tool breaks the soil structure that harms the plants from growing.
About the difference between chisel plow and ripper or disc ripper, the distinctions are challenging to express. Yet, have a look at the table below.
The design of both tools competes with many segments. Hence, to discuss chisel plow vs disc ripper, the first aspect is the design. The module of the disc ripper allows it to dig or go through the soil by 35 inches or 90 CM.
This means it can break the soil into pieces so that water and nutrients can reach the maximum level.
The blueprint of the chisel plow is utterly for the beginner farmer who is new to farming. The design allows the farmer to break the soil for the crops, which require low depth to spread the roots.
If we go for chisel plow vs disc ripper, you must choose the chisel for your learning period if you are a newcomer in this farming world.
In the case of a chisel plow, the actual size of the shanks is 12 inches. And, about the thickness of the shank is a minimum of 1.25 inches which causes exquisite ramifications on the soil. Furthermore, vertical free space is above 27 inches.
Both tools are for utilization, yet, we will still explain plow vs disc in this term. At first, the chisel plow, without any doubt, is a blessing for the farmers who are farming vegetables or dreaming of producing them.
The procedure of utilizing this tool is undemanding. However, it would help to connect the chisel plow with the tractor. A chisel plow can dig around 30 CM; hence, you need to dig it into the soil. While inserting the shovels, you must notice if the shovel is entering the soil correctly or not.
It is the most vital part of using a chisel plow. Once you insert the shovels correctly, you are ready to smear your soil by driving the tractor.
After the chisel plow, here comes the disc ripper. The primary task of the disk ripper is to till the soil deeply. And the utilization procedure is similar to the chisel plow.
First, you need to dig the large shovels of disk ripper into the soil. And start maneuvering the tractor. The disk ripper will do its job. And the harrow of the disc ripper will remove the weeds from the soil as needed for your new cultivation.
According to the application system and purposes, you must choose either a chisel plow or disc ripper. However, the disk ripper's primary task is to shatter the soil beneath the upper level, especially from 30 to 90 CM.
It can even reach the area where people with traditional, conservative, or reserved tools can't reach. As a result, the draining becomes proper. Moreover, soil can intake more nutrients than average systems.
When the term comes to the chisel plow vs disk, chisel plow is another vital tool for farmers. The design of the chisel plow allows the soil to break. But the soil must be moist. Moreover, it can only dig up to 30 CM. Hence, a chisel plow is applicable where folks do not require deep tillage.
The prices of the varieties of both tools differ entirely from size to size and brand to brand. Nonetheless, we can provide you with an assumption. The average price of an ordinary disc ripper is around $25000 for a used one and $65000 for a new one.
Due to the size and functions of a chisel plow, it costs less to own. You need to spend $45000 on a new one, and you can get a used one by spending less than $20000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When would you use a disc Ripper?
The use of a disc ripper or a chisel plow utterly depends on your entire purpose. If you are planning to grow those plants that do not require plenty of depth, you must use a chisel plow.
But, if you are planning for long rooted plants, you must use a disc ripper for serving the plant a set of proper nutrition.
What is the purpose of a chisel plow?
The prime purpose of chisel plow is breaking or smearing the soil so that you can easily plant the short-rooted plant. And, the tillage of a chisel plow is at most 30 CM by the shovels. You can also use it as a beginner to the farming world.
How much horsepower do you need to pull a chisel plow?
The horsepower of a tractor is a prime factor for the chisel plow. Most importantly, the requirements of the horsepower depend on the size of the chisel plow.
If the chisel plow's size is small or has less shovels, it will require less horsepower. If the size and number of shovels increases, it will require more horsepower. However, the average requirement is _PHONE_ horsepower.
How fast should you pull a chisel plow?
Farming is a job of patience and control. If you desire to view maximum output, you must maintain a speed of 6 to 6.5 mph. If you speed up and cross the limit, the soil may not smear properly.
A chisel plow vs disc are incomparable. It is your purpose that will determine what you need. If you are a beginner landscaper and farming for those plants which require less depth to spread their roots, you must go for chisel low.
If it is not and you are growing those which require a profound depth in the soil, you ought to for a disc ripper.

# Promises Package
A 'Promise' represents a value that will be available at a later
time. 'Promise's can either be fulfilled with a value or rejected. Any
number of function handlers can be added to the 'Promise', to be
called when the 'Promise' is fulfilled or rejected. These handlers
themselves are also wrapped in 'Promise's so that they can be chained
together in order for the fulfilled value of one 'Promise' to be used
to compute a value which will be used to fulfill the next 'Promise' in
the chain, or so that if the 'Promise' is rejected then the subsequent
reject functions will also be called. The input and output types of a
fulfill handler do not have to be the same, so a chain of fulfill
handlers can transform the original value into something new.
Fulfill and reject handlers can either be specified as classes that
implment the 'Fulfill' and 'Reject' interfaces, or as functions with
the same signatures as the 'apply' methods in 'Fulfill' and 'Reject'.
In the following code, the fulfillment of the 'Promise' causes the
execution of several fulfillment functions. The output is:
'''
fulfilled + foo
fulfilled + bar
fulfilled + baz
'''
'''pony
use "promises"
class PrintFulfill is Fulfill[String, String]
 let _env: Env
 let _msg: String

 promise.next[String](recover PrintFulfill(env, "bar") end)
 promise.next[String](recover PrintFulfill(env, "baz") end)
 promise("fulfilled")
'''
In the following code, the fulfill functions are chained together so
that the fulfilled value of the first one is used to generate a value
which fulfills the second one, which in turn is used to compute a
value which fulfills the third one, which in turn is used to compute a
value which fulfills the fourth one. The output is the average length
of the words passed on the command line or '0' if there are no command
line arguments.

Vertical vs. Horizontal Cards: Which Are Better?
Should you use a vertical or horizontal card for your content? Many designers struggle to answer this question because they don't understand the differences between the two card types beyond layout and orientation.
Eye Fixations and Saccades
The right card choice depends on several factors. If you're using large images to communicate information, a horizontal card produces a scattered scanning flow because it requires more eye fixations. In other words, the content takes more visual effort to consume.
Conversely, a large image on a vertical card produces a more focused scanning flow. Users use fewer fixations to scan the image and text. The fixations are more concentrated in a single area rather than divided into left and right halves.
Sometimes your text will communicate more information than the images. If this is the case, horizontal cards are the better choice. You can fill them with long text without making it hard to read because users have more whitespace to read each line.

Western Sword Fern Growing Instructions
Western sword ferns (Polystichum munitum) cover the floor of the forests of the West Coast and Northwestern U.S. They are vigorous, dependable, and virtually maintenance free. Adaptable to difficult soil and do well even in hot, dry weather. Have deep green fronds that are attractive all year. Like well-drained acidic organic soil, but will tolerate wet conditions during the winter months. Will grow up to 3 foot tall and spreads by rhizomes and spores. Once established, these perennial ferns will fill an area with lush green forest like appearance. Hardy in USDA Zone 5-8.
Western Sword Ferns make an excellent evergreen ground cover in shaded or partially shaded areas. Sword ferns are a very drought tolerant plant in the summer once established. By planting in the winter or early spring months, they will be well rooted out by early summer and you will save lots of money on your water bill during the summer. Western Sword Ferns like moisture during the fall, spring and winter months. Western Sword Ferns are best transplanted from November thru March. The ferns are trimmed of their fronds for shipment. The fronds will grow back quickly next spring forming a lush low maintenance groundcover.
Do not bury the crown. Add 30-40% bark dust or peat moss to soil and mix in to a depth of 8 inches. Water abundantly when planting so that the soil fills in all of the air holes around the roots. Then, water once a week until ferns have rooted out. Mulch with bark, compost or wood chips to retain moisture. In extreme hot weather, water twice a week.
Remove fronds that have turned brown. Lightly fertilize early in the spring. Do not pile fertilizer close to ferns or they might burn. About 1/2 tablespoon of 10-10-10 per mature fern sprinkled 6 inches around the fern is plenty. If using organic fertilizer use enough to be equivalent to10-10-10. Add new mulch yearly.

Rasmussen, Mary Lou and Harwood, Valerie, 2003, Performativity, Youth and Injurious Speech, Teaching Education, 14(1), 25-36.
Young people may become disengaged from schooling in the middle years for a multitude of reasons. We consider the story of one young woman from the state of New South Wales, in Australia, who left school early, and consider some of the factors that contributed to her decision to remove herself from compulsory education. This young woman encountered injurious speech relating to her race, gender, sexuality, size and ability. In undertaking this analysis, we draw on Foucaultian theorizing of the subject and on the related Butlerian notion of performativity. Performative acts that occur within and around schools have the power to injure, to alienate and to potentially exclude students from access to schooling. This article details how performative acts may operate as mechanisms of exclusion, obfuscating the social conventions and institutional structures that invest them with power. Our analysis of how performative acts function in school settings concludes with some suggestions of how teachers and students might think differently about the production of their own and others' existence.

Some kinds of rejection are harder to take than others. When you've been denied coverage for Crohn's treatment that could mean the difference between effectively managing your Crohn's disease or living in pain, rejection can be devastating.
According to the Advocacy for Patients with Chronic Illness and the Office of the Healthcare Advocate, 96% of insurance denials are never appealed. But those that are appealed have a success rate as high as 80%! So, don't give up before you've started. Your course of action will vary based on the type of insurance you have, but follow these tips.
- Determine why your Crohn's treatment claim was denied. Don't try to guess the reasons why your insurer denied your claim—they may be related to medical necessity stipulations. Your appeal will be based on the reason for denial, so get the information and then develop a plan of attack.
- Get your paperwork in order. Once you've figured out the reason for denial, gather necessary documents – medical records, journal articles, and letters from your doctor explaining medical necessity to help make your case.
- Write a letter of appeal. While it might be tempting, calling your insurer to plead for medicine won't get you far. Write a compelling letter about your situation, using the documents you've gathered as attachments that provide evidence to make your case. The better and clearer your explanation, the more likely you are to win.

The Donald E. Axinn '51, Litt. D. '89 Center for Literary and Cultural Studies at Starr Library is a beautiful example of how a historic building can be updated and reintegrated into a modern campus in a sustainable way. Because of its exemplary melding of history, modernity and foresight, the building was honored with the Boston Society of Architects' Sustainable Design Award in 2009.
Reuse and Recycling
Rather than demolishing the entire building and starting from scratch, the College chose to refurbish as much of the original Starr Library as possible and add on new wings. In the refurbished areas, such as the beloved reading room, the original wood was restored rather than bringing in new wood. For the sections that were deconstructed, over 80% of the construction and demolition waste was diverted from the landfill. Much of the beautiful stone from the exterior of deconstructed sections was reused to replace worn out stones or to build the facade of the new sections of the building. Stone that was not in condition to be reused as facade was ground and used as backfill in the new construction. Construction debris that could not be reused on site was sorted for recycling.
The Axinn Center was designed to maximize energy efficiency. Features such as a heat recovery system in office wings, premium efficiency motors for all mechanical equipment, occupancy sensors for office lighting, heavy insulation, and carbon dioxide sensors in classrooms that allow the ventilation systems to ramp up only when rooms are in use all add up to a very efficient building.
Site and Landscape
Utilization of an existing building site meant that land did not have to be converted from another use into a building site. The landscaping around the building was also designed with sustainability in mind. An erosion and sedimentation control plan was used and trees were protected throughout construction. The site also has storm water retention and filtering features and the landscaping features native plants. The service road that ran alongside the building was also replaced with a semi-permeable concrete path, which lowers storm water runoff and also reflects the desire for a more pedestrian-friendly campus outlined in the 2008 Master Plan.

The manufacturer calls the first Leo Artec handheld 3D scanner with artificial intelligence
The Artec 3D specializing in 3D scanners and software for them, presented a model Artec Leo. According to the manufacturer, this is the first of its kind device that can read information about three-dimensional structure of objects at speeds up to 80 fps.
An important feature of Artec Leo is the possibility of Autonomous selection and processing of data without the use of a tablet or computer. The basis of this feature, firmware was the Autopilot feature, which debuted last year in the corporate package Artec Studio 11. A feature that uses artificial intelligence technology, allows to transform the original scan data into high-quality 3D models.
Scanner combined with the camera's visible range and has a touch display where you can observe the process of digitizing real-time, making the scanning process simple and intuitive. The scan resolution is 0.25 mm, the accuracy of determining the position of points is 0.1 mm. the Scanner has an internal battery and are equipped with wired and wireless network connections.
According to the manufacturer, Artec Leo will find application in industrial production, health, science, education, design and architecture. It remains to add that the scanner module is used Nvidia Jetson TX1.

Abstract
The paper gives an optimization model for a special type of exercise session, circuit training. Circuit training involves a series of exercises performed in rotation with minimal rest. The goal of our model is to minimize the total circuit time while accomplishing a number of training goals. Our primary model is a linear integer program; additional constraints are added for muscle group and intensity requirements. The model is implemented and tested on algebraic modeling language AMPL. Our computational results show that the model can return an exercise schedule for a typical real-life data set within a few seconds.

1. Introduction
Having an efficient workout routine (or an exercise session) is important for improving one's health, fitness, or athletic performance. A workout might have different goals, such as gaining strength, losing weight, increasing durability, training certain muscle groups, or some combination of those. There are also different requirements and restrictions that should be taken into account when building a workout. Some examples are listed below.
- There might be limited amount of time available for the workout; on the other hand, rest time is needed between exercises.
- The muscle groups targeted by the workout should get certain amount of work; on the other hand, the muscle groups should not be overworked.
- A certain level of intensity should be maintained during the workout.
The choice of exercises to achieve those goals while satisfying the requirements is normally determined by the exerciser or her/his personal trainer based on their experience, common sense, guidelines from other sources. But designing a workout that satisfies all those requirements and achieves the goals in an optimal way might not be an easy task. In this paper, we give an optimization model that determines the exercises and their order in the workout using rigorous mathematical calculations.
We build our model for a special type of workout called circuit training [1] [2] . Circuit training involves a series of exercises performed in rotation with minimal rest. In a standard workout, one performs several sets of one exercise and has to rest muscles between sets. These rest intervals add up. On the other hand, in a circuit training one normally alternates between exercises that use different muscle groups, and that allows the rest intervals to be relatively short. Thus, circuit training saves a lot of rest time and is valuable if the exerciser wants to accomplish a number of training goals in limited amount of time. Another benefit is that a circuit consisting of only strength exercises can still have cardio benefits because of the minimal rest between exercises.
Our model chooses a set of exercises and an order for them to minimize the total circuit time while satisfying certain muscle training and intensity requirements. We use linear integer programming as our modeling technique. Binary variables are used to express different requirements about the circuit as mathematical constraints. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previous results on using linear programming for exercise scheduling. We have implemented our model on algebraic modeling language AMPL [3] . Our computational results show that the model is time-efficient in practice. It can return an exercise schedule for a typical real-life data set within a few seconds.
The paper is organized in the following way. The primary model that minimizes the total circuit time is given in Section 2. The models with muscle group and intensity constraints are given in Sections 3 and 4 correspondingly. Section 5 gives the computational results including the complete AMPL model, a discussion on collecting data for the model and the output of the model for a sample data set. Section 6 discusses possible future directions for further developing the model.
2. The Primary Integer Programming Model for Circuit Training
In this section we develop the primary model that minimizes the total circuit time. We are given a potential set of exercises E to be included in a circuit training. Each exercise has a duration di. We are also given inter-exercise times tij. The goal is to choose N exercises from E and an order for them such that the total circuit time is minimized.
The inter-exercise time tij is the time needed to start exercise j after finishing exercise i. There are several reasons why the inter-exercise times should be included in the model.
1) The actual time to go from station i to station j might depend on the layout of the exercise stations in the gym.
2) It takes some time to clean up station i and set up station j.
3) It takes time to recover from the exercise on station i and get ready for the exercise on station j. It might depend on the intensity levels of both exercises i and j. Also, more time is needed if both i and j use the same muscle group.
Our problem is a variation of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The exercises correspond to the cities in TSP, while the inter-exercise times tij correspond to the distances between pairs of cities. But our problem has also the following differences from TSP.
- We have not just inter-exercise times but also a time associated with each exercise.
- Our solution is a path, not a tour.
- Not all the exercises given in E are included in the solution but only N of them.
Correspondingly, our integer program is a variation of the classical integer program for TSP [4] . Below we discuss it in detail.
Variables.
The following three sets of variables are defined.
Let
x i = { 1 if exercise i included in the circuit 0 otherwise for each i E ;
f i j = { 1 if exercise j follows exercise i in the circuit 0 otherwise
for each i E and j E such that i j ; si be the order of exercise i in the circuit, for each i E .
Our constraints will provide that the orders are 1 , , N for the exercises that are in the circuit; while the orders are 0 for the exercises not in the circuit.
Objective function.
The objective function minimizes the sum of exercise durations and inter-exercise times for those exercises that are included in the circuit:
m i n i E d i x i + i E , j E : i j t i j f i j
Constraints.
Below we give the constraints along with their desciptions and necessary justifications. The constraints are grouped based on the goals they accomplish.
Note that the graph structure corresponding to the circuit is a chain that has N nodes and N − 1 arcs, more specifically, a path connecting the first exercise in the circuit to the last exercise. Each node i corresponds to a selected exercise. Arc i ® j is on the path if exercise j follows exercise i in the circuit.
(C1) The first two constraints provide that the path has N nodes and N − 1 arcs:
i E x i = N (2.1)
i E , j E : i j f i j = N 1 (2.2)
(C2) The next set of constraints connect variables xi and fij. For any two exercises i and j, exercise j can follow exercise i in the circuit (i.e., variable fij can be 1) only if both exercises i and j are included in the circuit (i.e., both xi and xj are 1):
f i j x i (2.3)
f i j x j (2.4)
Constraints given in (C3) - (C5) provide that the set of arcs included in the solution form a single chain.
(C3) The following constraints provide a path structure for the solution. For each exercise i, there is at most one exercise following it and at most one exercise proceeding it in the circuit:
j E : i j f i j 1 (2.5)
j E : i j f j i 1 (2.6)
Note that we cannot require being equal to exactly 1 (as in TSP) because for those exercises that are not included in the circuit the sum in the left-hand side should be zero.
(C4) The following constraints provide that there is no cycle in the solution. For any two exercises i and j,
s i s j + ( N + 1 ) f i j N (2.7)
Let us show that it prevents any cycle in the solution. Assume the opposite: there is a cycle in the solution. Then fij = 1 for all the arcs on the cycle. Thus, if we sum inequalities (2.7) for all the arcs on the cycle then all si variables will be canceled and we obtain:
( N + 1 ) k N k
where k is the number of arcs in the cycle. It is a contradiction.
(C5) Next we need to show that the constraints given above provide that the solution is a single chain. Suppose that the solution is a collection of k disjoint chains C 1 , , C k . We want to show that k = 1. Suppose the number of arcs in those chains are a 1 , , a k . Then the number of nodes in those chains are a 1 + 1 , , a k + 1 . Constraint (2.2) implies that the total number of the arcs in the chains is a 1 + + a k = N 1 . Then the total number of the nodes in the chains is ( a 1 + 1 ) + + ( a k + 1 ) = N 1 + k . Also note that constraints (2.3), (2.4) imply that xi = 1 for any node in the chains. Thus,
i E x i = N 1 + k
and constraint (2.1)

Water district to canvas opinion on desalination plans
Southern California's West Basin Municipal Water District plans to start canvasing public comment in autumn on its efforts build an seawater desalination plant in South Bay.The water district has said it will set up forums for public, environmental and regulatory comments from 31 August lasting six weeks and release a draft environmental impact report in spring 2016. West Basin includes 17 cities from Malibu to the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
The district said it will analyse the environmental effects of building and operating a seawater desalination facility with an input capacity of 100-300 Ml/d.
The water district said it was becoming increasingly important for Southern California to add to its imported water supplies. It said seawater desalination was a key part of its planned measures to diversify its water supplies which include water recycling, groundwater desalting and water conservation.

Big Boats Up The River
Students will practice addition skills using information about ships visiting the Port of Albany on the Hudson River estuary.
Students will solve problems that require them to:
- read and interpret data from a table;
- add strings of single digit numbers to compare use of the Port of Albany by different vessels;
- recognize that ships play a role in transportation and commerce in the Hudson Valley.
Elementary (Grades 2-3)
Math, Social Studies (Geography)
New York State Learning Standards:
Mathematics, Science, & Technology Standards 1, 2, 3
Social Studies Standard 3
- Interpret data from a table.
- Add using single digit whole numbers.
- Apply mathematics in real world settings.
- Reason mathematically.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Activity time: 20 minutes
Each student should have:
- Worksheet: Big Boats Up The River (PDF) 190 KB
The Port of Albany is the destination of many vessels seen on the Hudson. The largest grain export elevator east of the Mississippi loads ships with grain brought to Albany by rail. A few loads of molasses come in each year, to be mixed with grain to produce feed for livestock. Road salt also arrives by ship. Scrap metal is shipped out of Albany, as is wood pulp. Heavy equipment - windmill blades, generators, and turbines - enters and leaves the port on heavy lift vessels. Containers are barged between Albany and New York Harbor.
While oil is not included in data on cargoes handled at the Port of Albany (the tank farms located in the area are privately owned), gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, and other petroleum products are - by volume and value - the most important cargos on the Hudson River. Tankers and tanker barges bring oil to Albany, and carry ethanol, brought in by rail, to refineries elsewhere in the Northeast, where it is blended into gasoline. Likewise not included in the port data are the frequent shipments of gypsum brought by ship to a wallboard (sheetrock) factory in Rensselaer, across from Albany.
- Discuss the kinds of ships and cargoes seen on the Hudson.
- Go over the worksheet with the class, or assign as in-class work or homework.
- Have students share answers to questions from worksheet, or collect and grade sheets.
- Use other data from the table to make up similar problems for quiz.

Last night I helped launch of Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting, a free Green Lighting program that will help Connecticut homeowners save on their electricity bills by switching to energy efficient light bulbs. Go Green Lighting!!
Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting is part of the larger Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge. The program is a free and simple first step for homeowners who want to reduce their energy consumption. Seth Leitman, co-author of the book "Green Lighting" – who is often referred to as "the green living guy," took center stage at the program's launch event at Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU) to discuss his new book and the importance of energy efficiency.
"If more people in our communities switched to compact fluorescent light bulbs, light emitting diodes, day lighting and other greener lighting options, we would be able to save more than enough energy costs to stop building coal, nuclear and natural gas power plants," Leitman said. "People are afraid of transitioning to CFLs or LEDs because they don't know enough about them. That's why we need to get the word out about green lighting."
"ECSU and Windham are working together to bring the Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge to households throughout the community," said Laurel Kohl, an Education and Training Energy Specialist at ECSU's Institute for Sustainable Energy. "I am pleased how well our community has come together with the campaign to rally our residents around these important money-saving issues."
Lighting accounts for 10 to 15 percent of electricity consumption in an average home, adding up to between $200 and $300 over the course of a year. Switching to energy efficient bulbs can save families at least $100 per year and will greatly reduce the amount of energy wasted through the use of outdated incandescent light bulbs. Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting will provide free lighting consultations and energy efficient light bulb replacements to participating households.
The program is available for a limited-time: only the first 2,000 eligible households in Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge towns will be able to participate. One of the first 250 households to sign up for Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting will be selected to receive a special prize: a personal consultation from Leitman and the Neighbor to Neighbor Clean Energy Corps.
The Neighbor to Neighbor Clean Energy Corps, a team of 10 recent college graduates working with Connecticut residents to reduce energy waste, recently received residential lighting certificates after completing a course from the Lighting Research Center at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The Clean Energy Corps will visit participating households to perform energy efficient light installations and educate homeowners on efficient lighting technology.
These were the members of the Corps! Hoorah!!"We are so excited to launch Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting," said Bryan Garcia, Chief Community Officer for Earth Markets, the organization that designed the program. "This is another great way that Neighbor to Neighbor is helping residents lower their monthly bills in communities across Connecticut."
Eligible residents can get started today by visiting _URL_ There, they can sign up for Neighbor to Neighbor email updates and join the growing movement to reduce
Connecticut's energy waste.

We hear a lot about the coming of the cashless society, with wave and pay stickers, apps that let you ping money to each other and more innovations trumpeting that if cash is king, then the king is dead.
But while children are growing up in this brave new world, they are denied access to it. Unless you have a credit or debit card, you can't pay for a single MP3.
So what's the solution? Well one company thinks it's giving children as young as eight their own debit cards.
Pktmny – which launched this week – offers children between the ages of eight and 16 a contactless prepaid Visa debit card. Parents can personalise the card for their children and set controls on where and how much they can spend on it. You can read more of the details on the "how it works" section of pktmny site.
You can set up a standing order to add money to the card on a weekly or monthly basis, while friends and relatives can also add money to the account. The people behind it also have smartphone apps planned that allow children to see the balance on their cards and parents top this up if needed. It costs £5 to open an account and there's a £1 monthly charge (that comes from the parent's account, not the child's).
The hope is that this will allow children to learn about spending, saving and budgeting – as well as offering them some independence – in the same way traditional pocket money has.
"Children will live in a completely cashless world. Yet they are forced to interact with money in a way even adults have moved on from. It's time for a dramatic change," said clinical child psychologist Dr Elizabeth Kilbey.
"By allowing children to start taking control of their money in a safe and secure environment they will be able to grow with money, learn from their mistakes and ultimately understand the value of money."
But would you trust a child with a card? Let us know below.

The perceptual decisions we make during the course of the day engage automatic mechanisms of scene and place recognition: navigating through the environment, searching for an object, etc. However, studies of scene understanding have focused on scene classification; a task that may not reflect what we do in our daily lives. What is the perceptual efficiency of such decisions and to what degree do low-level image features correlate with these judgments? We have selected 3 dimensions that reflect common judgments made through environmental interactions: the degree to which things can be hidden (camouflaged) in a scene, how well one can navigate and the scene temperature. 500 outdoor images were chosen from a database of 5000 images to reflect membership along these dimensions. Images were ranked along each dimension. Subject agreement in ranks was good and around 100 images per dimension were found to be prototypical (low variance at dimension extremes). There was no correlation of image ranks between dimensions, suggesting that the features used or their complexity vary. The prototype images were run in a yes/no task for each dimension with variable presentation times between 20 and 80ms followed by a mask. We found a 15% performance advantage for temperature dimension over the other dimensions at 20ms that vanished by 60ms, suggesting that image features responsible for this task (e.g. color) are available earlier than properties related to the others. Detecting a navigational route had the steepest performance gain (28%) for increasing presentation times, indicating that the relevant features become massively available between 20 and 40ms. Correctly evaluating potentiality for camouflage requires more exposure time as it had a shallower gain over presentation times, indicating an even later availability of pertinent features. We show the extent to which low-level image features are correlated with the degree of temperature, navigation and temperature in a scene.

The X-ray data is compared with laser data and other surface structure data such as STM, atomic force microscopy (AFM), TEM, and electron micrography. The data obtained at Cu K-alpha(1), (8.05 keV) from all...
 13. The determination of the thermodynamic activity of antimony in alpha-iron
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 In this paper a method is suggested for determining the thermodynamic activity of antimony dissolved in alpha-iron, based on the study of antimony distribution between the two phases: liquid lead and solid iron. By this method, it was found that solid solutions of antimony in alpha-iron can be distinguished by positive divergences from the ideal state. Over a fairly wide range of concentrations, solutions of antimony in iron obey Henry's law. Special experiments on the distribution of antimony between lead and liquid iron showed that in the liquid state also the iron-antimony system is marked by positive divergences from the ideal state when small concentrations of antimony are present. The heat required for the solution of antimony in alpha-iron, and the excess partial molar entropy, were calculated from the activity temperature. The results were used for accurately locating the line showing the solubility limit of antimony in alpha-iron. Since alloys of antimony with iron were obtained by diffusion saturation and not by cooling from the liquid state, there was no liquefaction. Thus the lattice constant of the alloys and its relation to the alloy concentration could be reliably determined. The solubility limit established from X-ray data agrees with that obtained with Sb124. (author)
 14. Fe K$\\alpha$ Profiles from Simulations of Accreting Black Holes

 Kinch, Brooks E; Kallman, Timothy R; Krolik, Julian H
 2016-01-01
 We present first results from a new technique for the prediction of Fe K$\\alpha$ profiles directly from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations. Data from a GRMHD simulation are processed by a Monte Carlo global radiation transport code, which determines the X-ray flux irradiating the disk surface and the coronal electron temperature self-consistently. With that irradiating flux and the disk's density structure drawn from the simulation, we determine the reprocessed Fe K$\\alpha$ emission from photoionization equilibrium and solution of the radiation transfer equation. We produce maps of the surface brightness of Fe K$\\alpha$ emission over the disk surface, which---for our example of a $10 M_\\odot$, Schwarzschild black hole accreting at $1\\%$ the Eddington value---rises steeply one gravitational radius outside the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit and then falls $\\propto r^{-2}$ at larger radii. We explain these features of the Fe K$\\alpha$ radial surface brightness profile as ...

 Using deep narrow-band $H_2S1$ and $K_{s}$-band imaging data obtained with CFHT/WIRCam, we identify a sample of 56 H$\\alpha$ emission-line galaxies (ELGs) at $z=2.24$ with the 5$\\sigma$ depths of $H_2S1=22.8$ and $K_{s}=24.8$ (AB) over 383 arcmin$^{2}$ area in the ECDFS. A detailed analysis is carried out with existing multi-wavelength data in this field. Three of the 56 H$\\alpha$ ELGs are detected in Chandra 4 Ms X-ray observation and two of them are classified as AGNs. The rest-frame UV and optical morphologies revealed by HST/ACS and WFC3 deep images show that nearly half of the H$\\alpha$ ELGs are either merging systems or with a close companion, indicating that the merging/interacting processes play a key role in regulating star formation at cosmic epoch z=2-3; About 14% are too faint to be resolved in the rest-frame UV morphology due to high dust extinction. We estimate dust extinction form SEDs. We find that dust extinction is generally correlated with H$\\alpha$ luminosity and stellar mass (SM). Our res...
 16. Alpha thalassaemia-mental retardation, X linked
 Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)
 Gibbons Richard
 2006-05-01
 Full Text Available Abstract X-linked alpha thalassaemia mental retardation (ATR-X syndrome in males is associated with profound developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, genital abnormalities and alpha thalassaemia. Female carriers are usually physically and intellectually normal. So far, 168 patients have been reported. Language is usually very limited. Seizures occur in about one third of the cases. While many patients are affectionate with their caregivers, some exhibit autistic-like behaviour. Patients present with facial hypotonia and a characteristic mouth. Genital abnormalities are observed in 80% of children and range from undescended testes to ambiguous genitalia. Alpha-thalassaemia is not always present. This syndrome is X-linked recessive and results from mutations in the ATRX gene. This gene encodes the widely expressed ATRX protein. ATRX mutations cause diverse changes in the pattern of DNA methylation at heterochromatic loci but it is not yet known whether this is responsible for the clinical phenotype. The diagnosis can be established by detection of alpha thalassaemia, identification of ATRX gene mutations, ATRX protein studies and X-inactivation studies. Genetic counselling can be offered to families. Management is multidisciplinary: young children must be carefully monitored for gastro-oesophageal reflux as it may cause death. A number of individuals with ATR-X are fit and well in their 30s and 40s.
 17. Alpha particle diagnostics using impurity pellet injection
 International Nuclear Information System (INIS)
 We have proposed using impurity injection to measure the energy distribution of the fast confined alpha particles in a reacting plasma. The ablation cloud surrounding the injected pellet is thick enough that an equilibrium fraction Fo∞(E) of the incident alphas should be neutralized as they pass through the cloud. By observing neutrals created in the large spatial region of the cloud which is expected to be dominated by the helium-like ionization state, e.g., Li+ ions, we can determine the incident alpha distribution dnHe2+/dE from the measured energy distribution of neutral helium atoms. Initial experiments were performed on TEXT in which we compared pellet penetration with our impurity pellet ablation model, and measured the spatial distribution of various ionization states in carbon pellet clouds. Experiments have recently begun on TFTR with the goal of measuring the alpha particle energy distribution during D-T operation in 1993--94. A series of preliminary experiments are planned to test the diagnostic concept. The first experiments will observe neutrals from beam-injected deuterium ions and the high energy 3He tail produced during ICH minority heating on TFTR interacting with the cloud. We will also monitor by line radiation the charge state distributions in lithium, boron, and carbon clouds

select angularjs variable using function parameter
I've some function like this:
$scope.activeimageset = function(id){}
Now, I pass some parameter as ID to mentioned function, and I want to select some variable using gathered parameter, something like this:
$scope.activeimageset = function(id){$scope.img{{id}}.src1 = $scope.img{{id}}.src2;}
That's mean I want to select some object using parameter passed to my function and then I set one of the attributes of that object to another attribute. How can I do that? I know my code is wrong and doesn't work, but I want to know how can I make it work?
Answer Source
You can rewrite your function like this:
$scope.activeimageset = function(id){
 $scope['img' + id].src1 = $scope['img' + id].src2;
};
In JS you can use two ways to obtain properties values, they are Dot Notation and Square Bracket Notation.
Here is the very basic example of using these ways:
var obj = {
 prop1: 'prop1 value',
 prop2: [1,2,3]
}
var propName = 'prop2';
console.log(obj.prop1); // 'prop1 value'
console.log(obj[propName]); '[1, 2, 3]'
In summary:
 - Dot notation is faster to write and clearer to read.
 - Square bracket notation allows access to properties containing
 special characters and selection of properties using variables (just like in your case).

Soluble iron sulfide species in natural waters: reappraisal of their stoichiometry and stability constants.
Research output: Contribution to journalJournal article
Issue number1
Number of pages21
Pages (from-to)23-43
Original languageEnglish
A wide range of stoichiometries has been previously proposed for soluble iron sulfide species and there is no general agreement on their importance in natural waters. The solubility of Fe(II) in 0.1 M NaClO4 equilibrated at 20 - 0.1°C with various partial pressures of H2S (0.1, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001 MPa) was measured in the pH range 3.1-7.9. Equilibrium was established within 1-6 h when amorphous FeS was the solid phase. The results could all be fitted using values for the solubility product constant (I = 0) of p*Ks = 3.00 - 0.12 and of the stability constant for a soluble Fe(HS) 2 species (I = 0) of p#2 = -6.45 - 0.12 where *Ks = aFe2+ · aHS-/aH+ and #2 = aFe(HS) 2/aFe2+ · (aHS-)2. Any soluble species of the form Fex (HS) 2x where x = &gif1; would fit the data equally well. Measurements at different partial pressures are inconsistent with labile species of the form FexSx. There was no evidence for a Fe(HS) + species. When a solution is saturated with respect to amorphous FeS, Fe(HS) 2 will only be a significant proportion of Fe(II) when S(-II) is higher than 0.2mmoll-1. The constants for Fe(HS) 2 or Fex (HS) 2x (x S 2) are consistent with all freshwater data where constant values of measured ion activity products provide no evidence for soluble complex formation. For marine waters with high sulfide concentrations (S 6mmol l-1), measured concentrations of Fe(II) are consistent with there being negligible soluble iron sulfide. The data are better fitted if the dissolved species are polymeric as predicted concentrations of the monomer Fe(HS) 2 are significant. These findings suggest that rather than the dissolved species being Fe(HS) 2, it is probably polymeric, that is Fex (HS) 2x (x S 2).
