 What does "Lo estoy" mean? Like in the phrase, "Si, lo estoy."
 I can work out the meaning of estoy (I am), but lo appears ambiguous to me. I can assume it could be a direct object pronoun (it), but I absolutely don't understand the role it plays in this particular sentence. If this is an answer to a question, then what could the question be like?

 Perhaps a statement:
 -You look tired.
 -Yes, I am.
 -Te ves cansado.
 -Lo estoy.

 Lo, as a personal pronoun, can be masculine (when it refers to a masculine noun). And neuter, when the antecedent is a neuter pronoun (e.g. eso) or a noun group beggining with the article lo.
 The neuter pronoun lo can also replace a phrase, a sentence. Taking JJ's example:
 Parece que estás cansado, contento, agobiado, etc.
 (Sí,/No,) lo estoy.
 Also, for example:
 ¿Estás mejor?
 (Sí,/No,) lo estoy.
 And just add what María Moliner (DUE) says about this:

 The phrase "I am" is not a complete thought ("I am what?"). English allows you to leave the thought incomplete (the rest of the phrase is understood from the context), but Spanish requires you to complete the thought -- "I am that (lo)," with "that/lo" referring to the previously stated condition.

Sadi Carnot was the eldest son of Lazare Carnot and he was born in the Palais du Petit-Luxembourg. His younger brother was Hippolyte Carnot. At the time of Sadi's birth, his father was a member of the Directory, the French Revolutionary government which lasted four years from November 1795 to November 1799. Sadi was given named after a medieval Persian poet and philosopher called Sa'di of Shiraz.
Sadi Carnot was born at a time of unrest and political turmoil in France and, due the position of his father, whose fortunes changed dramatically many times, he was brought up in a totally unstable environment of interacting politics and science. His father was appointed to the high office of Napoleon's minister of war in 1799. Lazare Carnot resigned in 1807 and devoted himself to the education of his two sons. Sadi had a fine teacher in his father, who taught him mathematics and science as well as languages and music.
Under his father's tuition, Sadi Carnot showed great promise and was sent to the Lycée Charlemagne in Paris to prepare him for the examinations to the École Polytechnique in Paris. In 1812, at age 16 the minimum age possible, Carnot entered the École Polytechnique where Poisson, Ampère and Arago were among his teachers. Chasles was in the same class as Carnot and their friendship lasted throughout Carnot's life. Carnot graduated from the École Polytechnique in 1814 but, before he graduated, Carnot and other students from the École Polytechnique fought unsuccessfully with Napoleon to defend Vincennes. This skirmish against the Allies was fought just outside Paris, to the east of the city.
After graduating, Carnot went to the École du Génie at Metz to take the two year course in military engineering. In 1815 Napoleon returned from exile for his famed Hundred Days rule. Carnot's father was appointed minister of the interior and Sadi Carnot was put in a somewhat difficult position in the military academy with his father in such a prominent position. In October 1815 after the defeat of Napoleon, Carnot's father was exiled and he went to Germany never to return to France.
It is probable that a military career was not the easiest one for Carnot with his father in exile. Carnot was moved from place to place, given jobs of inspecting fortifications, drawing up plans and writing reports. However, it seems that he was not well treated and his recommendations were ignored. Unhappy at his lack of promotion and the refusal to give him a job which allowed him to make use of his training, in 1819, he sat and passed the examinations to join the recently formed General Staff Corps in Paris. Almost immediately he took leave on half pay, living in Paris in his father's former apartment, but he remained on call for army duty.
Carnot began to attend courses at various institutions in Paris, including the Sorbonne and the Collège de France. At this time he became interested in industrial problems and, in particular, began to study the theory of gases. His interests were wide :-
He made frequent visits to factories and workshops, studied the latest theories of political economy, and left in his notes detailed proposals on such current problems as tax reform. Beyond this, his activity and ability embraced mathematics and the fine arts.
Carnot visited his father in 1821 in his exiled home in Magdeburg. Hippolyte Carnot, his brother, was living with his father at this time. It is clear that there were many discussions about steam engines. The first steam engine had come to Magdeburg three years earlier and had interested Lazare Carnot, and Sadi Carnot left Magdeburg filled with enthusiasm to develop a theory for steam engines. After returning to Paris, Carnot began the work which led to the mathematical theory of heat and helped start the modern theory of thermodynamics. E Mendoza explains in the background:-
The problem occupying Carnot was how to design good steam engines. Steam power already had many uses - draining water from mines, excavating ports and rivers, forging iron, grinding grain, and spinning and weaving cloth - but it was inefficient. The import into France of advanced engines after the war with Britain showed Carnot how far French design had fallen behind. It irked him particularly that the British had progressed so far through the genius of a few engineers who lacked formal scientific education. British engineers had also accumulated and published reliable data about the efficiency of many types of engines under actual running conditions; and they vigorously argued the merits of lowand high-pressure engines and of single-cylinder and multi-cylinder engines.
The first of Carnot's major works was a paper which he wrote in 1822-23. This paper attempted to find a mathematical expression for the work produced by one kilogram of steam. The paper is similar in its aims and also in its methods to several other papers which appeared around this time by Hachette, Navier and Petit. However :-
Carnot's work is distinguished for his careful, clear analysis of the units and concepts employed and for his use of both an adiabatic working stage and an isothermal stage in which work is consumed.
From its style and detailed descriptions the paper was clearly intended for publication but Carnot never published it and its existence was only discovered in manuscript form in 1966.
When Lazare Carnot died in August 1823, Hippolyte Carnot returned to Paris and there he helped Sadi Carnot to make the book on steam engines that he was working on at the time more understandable to the general public. In 1824 Carnot published this work, the only one he published during his lifetime, Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres à développer cette puissance which includes his description of the "Carnot cycle". This book only became well known after Clapeyron published an analytic reformulation of it in 1834. Carnot's ideas were later incorporated into the thermodynamic theory of Clausius and Thomson.
Carnot continued with his research after the publication of his book and although nothing of this was published, notes that Carnot made as his ideas developed have survived. In 1827, however, the General Staff Corps in Paris was reorganised and he was recalled to full time duties. He served for rather less than one year as a military engineer, being posted first to Lyon and then to Auxonne. Still unhappy with his career, Carnot retired permanently and returned to live in Paris where he aimed to continue with his research into the theory of heat.
Following his father's political views, Carnot was strongly republican so he was pleased with the direction France seemed to be going with the July 1830 Revolution. Around this time he became interested in public life, in particular he was interested in improving public education. He was suggested for a government position, but he declined and, after the monarchy was restored, he returned to his scientific work. In June 1832 he took ill and had not fully regained his strength when the cholera epidemic of 1832 hit Paris. Although only 36 years of age, he died within a day of contracting cholera.
That Carnot's important book Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu et sur les machines propres à développer cette puissance should have been neglected at the time of its publication is certainly not because it went unnoticed. It was published on 12 June 1824 and on 26 July of that year Pierre Girard gave a long review of it to the Académie des Sciences in Paris. Pierre Girard's review was a very positive one and was published in the Revue encyclopédique. Perhaps the problem with the review was that although it stated the theorems and the conclusions of Carnot's work fully, it did not comment on the highly original reasoning which Carnot had employed to achieve his results.
It is possible that Carnot's personality played a role in the lack of enthusiasm for his work in his lifetime. He is described in as follows:-
Friends described him as reserved, almost taciturn, but insatiably curious about science and technical processes.
In he is described in similar terms:-
Although sensitive and perceptive, he appeared extremely introverted, even aloof, to all but a few close friends...
The Réflexions was an attempt by Carnot to answer two fundamental questions, firstly whether there was an upper limit to the power of heat, and secondly whether there was a better means than steam to produce this power. His attack on these questions was to produce a much more general theory than had previously been attempted based not on heat as random motion of atoms, as Hooke and Boyle had done, but by the concept of heat as a weightless fluid called caloric. He introduced the concept of the "Carnot engine", an ideal heat engine. He showed that the efficiency of the "Carnot engine" depends only on the temperature difference within the engine and not on the substance such as steam that drives the mechanism. He also introduced the important concept of reversibility, namely that motive power can be used to produce the temperature difference in the engine.
Notes which Carnot made between 1824 and 1826 show that he was moving away from the caloric theory. He set out in his notes details of experiments which he intended to carry out to study the temperature effects of friction in

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
Marisa L. Wilson
The literature indicates that serving as a preceptor for new nurse graduates can be challenging and stressful without proper training in this role. Many organizations appoint preceptors without providing training and support for the role, which negatively impacts both the new nurse and the preceptor. Evidence shows that a preceptor workshop can cultivate the knowledge and skills needed to train and precept new nurse graduates. Further, there is evidence that preceptorship programs ease new graduates' transition to practice, increase employee satisfaction, and improve the quality of care provided to clients. The purpose of this developmental project was to develop a preceptor workshop to prepare registered nurses to serve in the capacity of preceptors within a local agency to ease the transition for new nurse graduates into practice, increase employee satisfaction, increase retention rates, and promote higher quality of care within organizations. The preceptor workshop proposed in this project incorporates Watson's caring theory, Benner's novice-to-expert model, and Wright's domain-specific competency assessment model. These theoretical frameworks served to guide the curriculum and design of an eight-module workshop. This workshop will be shared with the partnering organization with the recommendation for implementation and evaluation within the next year. Development of an effective training program for preceptors will result in positive social change by improving outcomes for preceptors, preceptees, the organization, and the clients. Implementing this workshop will have a positive impact on the quality of care provided to clients within the organization by the affects on retention rates, satisfaction, and transition to practice.

Antidiabetic actions of Camellia sinensis leaves, used traditionally for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) treatment, have been determined. Insulin release, membrane potential and intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) were studied using the pancreatic beta-cell line, BRIN-BD11, and primary mouse pancreatic islets. Cellular glucose-uptake/insulin action by 3T3-L1 adipocytes, starch digestion, glucose diffusion, DPP-IV activity and glycation were determined together with in vivo studies assessing glucose homeostasis in high fat fed (HFF) rats. Active phytoconstituents with insulinotropic activity were isolated using RP-HPLC, LCMS and NMR. Hot water extract of Camellia sinensis, increased insulin secretion in concentration dependent manner. Insulinotropic effects were significantly reduced by diazoxide, verapamil and under calcium-free conditions, being associated with membrane depolarization and increased intracellular Ca2+. Insulin releasing effects were observed in presence of KCl, tolbutamide and IBMX, indicating actions beyond K+ and Ca2+channels. Extract also increased glucose uptake/insulin action in 3T3L1 adipocyte cells and inhibited protein glycation, DPP-IV enzyme activity, starch digestion and glucose diffusion. Oral administration of extract enhanced glucose tolerance and insulin release in HFF rats. Extended treatment (250mg/5ml/kg orally) for 9 days, led to improvements of body weight, energy intake, plasma and pancreatic insulin, and corrections of both islet size and β-cell mass. These effects were accompanied by lower glycaemia and significant reduction of plasma DPP-IV activity. Compounds isolated by HPLC/LCMS, isoquercitrin and rutin (464.2 Da & 610.3 Da), stimulated insulin release and improved glucose tolerance. These data indicate that Camellia sinensis leaves warrant further evaluation as an effective adjunctive therapy for T2DM and source of bioactive compounds.

Unprecedented numbers of people seeking refuge from armed violence in Ukraine are arriving in many OSCE participating States. These people, mostly women and children, face risks of human trafficking, including sexual and labour exploitation, during their journey or upon arrival in a destination country. In light of the vulnerabilities of these people, the Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings today issued a set of concrete recommendations for countries to prevent trafficking.
The recommendations contain guidance to address the needs of people seeking refuge, as well as policy measures to prevent and mitigate their vulnerabilities. They also look at longer-term challenges like integration into host communities from the perspective of preventing exploitation.
- Providing housing and immediate assistance like food and clothing;
- Establishing information centres and hotlines that can give clear official information on registration, residence, and rights in a language refugees understand;
- Introducing immediate measures to inform people seeking refuge of the risks of human trafficking, including "too good to be true" transportation, housing and job offers along migration routes and in vicinity of reception facilities and online.
- Disseminating official information broadly and monitoring for misleading information on housing and employment opportunities to prevent trafficking and fraud;
Furthermore, States are recommended to grant temporary residence permits, access to the job market, education for children, and ensure family preservation and reunification by not separating children from their parents. Reception facilities should be distributed across countries to avoid overburdening assistance and support systems in certain areas. Finally, States should also establish clear procedures for exchanging information on people seeking refuge to prevent people, especially children, from going missing.
"We need to prevent the current humanitarian crisis from turning into a human trafficking crisis," said the OSCE Special Representative for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings Valiant Richey. "Establishing prevention measures and addressing vulnerabilities of people seeking refuge should be a priority right now and is the focus of our recommendations."
The complete set of recommendations is available on the OSCE website: _URL_
The Special Representative continues to monitor the humanitarian situation and will be traveling to the border areas of the neighbouring countries to assess the situation on the ground and assist OSCE participating States on issues related to trafficking in human beings.

 Differential effects of testosterone and progesterone on the activation and retention of courtship behavior in sexual and parthenogenetic whiptail lizards
 ,,,
 Hormones and Behavior
 Elsevier BV
 Read this article at
 Both testosterone (T) and progesterone (P) facilitate the expression of male-typical sexual behavior in a variety of animals, including rodents and lizards. In two species of whiptail lizards, Cnemidophorus inornatus and C. uniparens, both hormones elicit the full repertoire of courtship behavior. However, the relative efficacy of the two hormones is unknown. In Experiments 1 and 2 we assessed differences in capacity of exogenous T and P to induce male-typical courtship behavior in gonadectomized whiptail lizards. In both species, individuals implanted with T showed more frequent courtship behavior relative to those implanted with P or cholesterol. In Experiments 3 and 4 we examined whether T and P differentially affected the retention of courtship behavior following implant removal. In both species, individuals implanted with T showed more courtship behavior following implant removal than those previously given P. In these experiments, implants were removed at a time when individuals in both groups were behaviorally similar; therefore, the differences in behavior following implant removal were not due to differences in the amount of courtship experience. Taken together, the hormone that was more effective at activating courtship behavior was also more effective at maintaining courtship behavior following implant removal. In summary, though both T and P can elicit identical sexual behaviors in both whiptail species, T has a greater and more lasting effect on courtship behavior and possibly on the neural circuits underlying courtship behavior.

The 11th Annual Water Matters Day
will be held on
Saturday, March 9, 2013!
An important part of Broward County's effort to educate residents about water conservation is Water Matters Day. This fun, activity-filled event focuses on teaching residents about the need to conserve and protect water for people, plants and animals. The event helps Broward residents make the connection between their daily activities and the impact they have on our local water resources and natural environment.
Water Matters Day exhibits show how to save and protect water through landscape best management practices and through indoor conservation. They also help explain local water management, Everglades restoration, and how our canals connect the County's urban and natural systems. Workshops with landscaping and gardening experts give attendees insight into how to make their yards less water dependent and more inviting to native wildlife. The workshops provide in-depth information and an important opportunity for learning in small groups where questions can be answered personally. One of the most popular sessions each year is on how to create a NatureScape. NatureScape Broward experts explain the importance of environmentally-friendly landscaping, with tips on plant selection and placement, proper fertilizer and pesticide use, and more.
The best part is that while Water Matters Day is about education, it's also about fun. The event is packed with workshops, giveaways, children's activities, and entertainment. For instance, while parents are learning about choosing the right plants for their yards, their children can learn about creating backyard wildlife habitats in a birdhouse-building workshop. They can also listen to a local folksinger in the entertainment pavilion, or help their parents collect giveaways, which in the past have included rain gauges, automatic shut-off devices for irrigation systems, native trees and plants, and garden mulch.
Not only are these freebies and activities popular, but they also help attendees apply what they've learned when they get home. And that's the most important lesson Water Matters Day has to teach. Participants are encouraged to take what they they've learned and put it into practice. We can all be leaders in water conservation by setting a good example for our friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. Everyone has a role to play in the wise management of our water resources. When we work together, we can make sure there's enough quality water for people, plants and animals.


Greek Yogurt: The Healthy Toxic Waste Hazard

Greek yogurt is lauded for its health benefits, but the increasingly popular food item is also reportedly highly dangerous for the environment.
For each ounce of the yogurt, three to four ounces of milk is needed. The remaining substance is called 'acid whey,' which contains about the same acidity as orange juice and can't be dumped because it could enter waterways and destroy aquatic life. The problem the $2 billion Greek yogurt industry is left with is exactly what to do with the acid whey.
While solutions to feed the substance to cows (which one farmer called, "like feeding your cows candy bars - they like it but can't eat too much of it,") and use it in a new infant formula have the ball rolling, the industry is still searching for a more permanent solution.
The recent report in Modern Farmer that detailed the environmental issue involving Greek yogurt further explained how difficult another solution, converting the acid whey into electricity, would be:
The material is heated up and kept in the tank for about 20 days, during which time bacteria break up the organic material-the lactose, in the case of whey-and release gases, including methane. The gas is fed into generators that produce electricity to power the farm and to sell to the local utility for use elsewhere."
According to Packaged Facts, Greek yogurt made up 35% of all yogurt sales in 2012, rising from just 1% in 2007.

Open commands are used to override the default LogViewPlus open behavior. Open commands can be configured in the open settings dialog discussed below.
Open Trigger
1. Open Trigger
The open trigger is the filename pattern which is used when opening a log file to determine if a given open command should be executed. By default, the file name can contain a wildcard character - an asterisk *. This character will match one or more other characters. For example, say the name of your log file has a date suffix, something like MyApp_12.2.16.log. In this case, you could match the date part of the filename using the asterisk wildcard. Your pattern might be MyApp_*.log.
Usually, the asterisk wildcard is sufficient, but if you find you need more power to match your log file name, then you can use a regular expression instead. To do this, check the "Is Regex?" checkbox to let LogViewPlus know the search needs to be performed differently.
Command Settings
2. Command Settings
The basic command settings are:
1. Friendly Name: The friendly name is a display name that can be associated with this command configuration. The friendly name helps you easily identify the command.
2. Executable: The full path to the target executable or batch file to be run.
3. Run Directory: If the process you are trying to start needs to be started from a specific directory, you can optionally configure the run directory.
4. Arguments: Arguments are the parameters used when starting the target application. LogViewPlus also supports a small set of optional argument templates.
5. Prompt for arguments: If the arguments used to start your target application change frequently you can optionally configure LogViewPlus to prompt you. This will give you the opportunity to change the arguments before the target application is executed.
6. Run as Admin: If required, you can optionally configure LogViewPlus to run the target application as Admin.
Post Execution
3. Post Execution
Post execution settings allow you to configure an action which should occur once the external command has completed. For example, opening a file or a pre-saved workspace. If an action is selected, you may need to provide additional detail such as the name of the target file. Target file names may use Argument Templates.

In the large commercial aircraft market, landing gear systems are currently operated using hydraulic power. It has been widely recognised that there is a need from a social and environmental impact point of view, to improve the efficiency of aircraft and their associated systems. Alternative power source (electric) strategies are considered for aircraft systems, which are traditionally hydraulically powered. Several research programmes, currently underway, are taking more electric aircraft technologies through the final validation phase prior to deployment on aircraft programmes. Continuous efforts are also being made by the aircraft manufacturers and the air traffic control sector to fully automate the aircraft approach, landing, ground manoeuvres and take-off. This will increase the air transport system efficiency by allowing the aircraft to operate in all weather conditions. Due to the current aircraft steering system loss objective, airworthiness regulations impose a minimum visibility that would allow the pilots to safely regain manual control in case of steering system loss.
The goal of this project was to research, develop and validate a distributed and redundant electrical steering system technology for an aircraft nose landing gear that would provide improved competitiveness and improved aircraft safety.
- Reduced system weight at the aircraft level, replacing the current hydraulic actuation by electrical actuation.
- Improved aircraft safety provided by the higher reliability, the higher levels of safety objectives with associated redundancies that will be imposed to the new system, beyond the current technology capabilities.
- Subsequent ability of the steering system, with its improvements on safety, to be integrated in a future fully automated aircraft ground guidance system providing the aircraft with a true all-weather (true zero visibility) capability, hence offering significant aircraft operation gains and enabling a more efficient Air Transport System.
DRESS was composed of the following work packages:
- The 'Specifications and assessment criteria' work package identifying all the requirements, providing a base on which high-level as well as detailed specifications for this new steering system shall be established. Assessment criteria were defined to assess the final validation results in an easier and better way.
- The 'Research on optimised system architecture' work package concerned modular and redundant open control system architecture studies, and also addressed the complex nose landing gear oscillations damping control.
- The 'Electromechanical technologies' work package concerned the electromechanical actuator, a new electric motor architecture, and a safe and segregated power electronics control system
- The 'Components manufacture' and 'Technology Integration' work packages covered the manufacture and then the assembly of various components with first sub-assembly tests.
- 'Technology evaluation': the main components and then the complete validation prototype of the new steering system were tested against the specifications. An evaluation of this new technology regarding its integration in a production aircraft system was provided.
DRESS achieved this technological breakthrough, investigating in both fields of system architecture and electro-mechanical actuation, by bringing together 13 actors of the European aeronautics industry including an aircraft manufacturer (Airbus UK), a landing gear manufacturer (Messier-Bugatti-Dowty), two Systems and Equipment manufacturers (SAAB, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty), a Research Institute (IA), five universities (INSA, UHA, UCL, UCV, BUTE), and three SMEs (TTTech, EAT, SPAB) with their own specific expertise. DRESS was a 3-year STREP led by Messier-Bugatti-Dowty with an overall budget of 4M.
DRESS was a successful project that enabled the participants to significantly increase their knowledge in many areas, for instance, distributed architecture, control of a redundant actuator, worm gear and cyclo reducer technology, steering control, the safety issues, the shimmy behavior of an electrical steering system, the integration of an electrical actuator on a landing gear.
The DRESS project has proven the feasibility of an electrically driven steering, demonstrated the advantages of a distributed architecture and validated the principle of driving a redundant actuator to significantly increase safety. It has enabled demonstrating potential benefits compared to the classical hydraulic steering in terms of power consumption, operability, maintenance, flexibility. Nevertheless, the system weight is significantly higher than a current one and further work is needed on shimmy phenomenon. Therefore, it cannot be implemented on an aircraft immediately.
To conclude, the DRESS prototype is not sufficiently optimised to be competitive with an hydraulic system yet but gives a really good basis for future development and will enable to build an optimised design system and make the right choices.

Mineral composition of wild relatives and introgressive forms in wheat selection
Saving, T. V. and Abugaliyeva, A. I. and Çakmak, İsmail and Kozhakhmetov, K. (2018) Mineral composition of wild relatives and introgressive forms in wheat selection. Vavilovskii Zhurnal Genetiki i Selektsii, 22 (1). pp. 88-96. ISSN 2500-0462 (Print) 2500-3259 (Online)

The study of seed mineral composition of wheat and its wild relatives revealed higher content of all elements in Aegilops ovata and Ae. triuncialis, as well as an overall increased background in relatives compared to modern varieties of Triticum aestivum (standards). By content of macro- and microelements, synthetic forms of wheat occupy an intermediate position between wild relatives and modern varieties. Transitional forms with the level of mineral composition typical of wild forms (Zhetysu x T militinae; Zhetysu x T kiharae; Bezostaya 1 x Ae. cylindrica) have been identified. All genotypes have been differentiated into 3 clusters. The first consists predominantly of introgressive forms, Ae. triaristata and the Komsomolskaya 1 variety, which has wild forms in its origin. The second cluster includes mainly varieties (parental forms), T. timopheevii and the introgressive form (Steklovidnaya 24 x T militinae). The third cluster consists largely of T. militinae, T. kiharae, Ae. cylindrica species and introgressive forms originated from them: Zhetysu x T militinae and Bezostaya 1 x Ae. cylindrica. Such division allows us to classify genotypes according to the level of metabolism: wild relatives (3rd cluster), varieties (2nd cluster) and an intermediate group - introgressive forms (1st cluster). In general, inclusion of cultural forms (backcrossing with varieties) to crosses with introgressive forms is usually accompanied by a decrease in the total metabolic level, but it varies in cultivars and wild species characterized by polymorphism. Sources of high content of elements have been revealed: wild relatives and introgressive forms, some of which are donors. According to the results of topcross breeding with testers - commercial common wheat varieties Steklovidnaya 24, Almali, Zhetysu - inheritance of this trait by progenies in F-2-F-3 generations has been revealed in two constant lines: (Bezostaya 1 x Ae. cylindrica) x T kiharae and Zhetysu x T kiharae.

Our first vineyard, the one we began planting on Victoria Day 2001, giving rise to its name, Victoria Block. Coincidentally, Victoria is also the name of Bob and Diana Granger's daughter, making the name even more fitting.
Preparation of this field began in 2000, a process that involved plowing under and cultivating the alfalfa growing there after its first cut. Our reasoning behind this was to reintroduce some nitrogen into the very shallow soils that make up this vineyard. Soil depths range from 12 – 18 inches over most of the field. We were not concerned with the reemergence of the alfalfa because everyone told us it was very fragile and would not survive the plowing and cultivating process. It took us 4 years to manually remove the reemerging alfalfa from this block, however we are happy to report there has been very little in the vineyard this year.
Victoria Block was originally planted with 5,000 Chardonnay vines clone 76 on SO4 and 3,750 Gamay Noir vines clone 509 on SO4 and a small experimental block for Loyalist College. An additional 2,500 Gamay vines were planted in 2004, this time clone 565 in 2002 and a small experimental block of Pinot Noir clone 375 also on SO4 in 2003.
The Gamay in this field will be cropped at around 4 tonnes to the acre although there are years it would like to crop more resulting in production from this field of between 20 and 25 tonnes per year. These grapes are used in our Trumpour's Mill Gamay Noir a fairly light red made in a Beaujolais style, in our red wine Rosé blended with pinot noir and in the Assemblage Red our version of barbeque wine.
We expect the Chardonnay to crop at around 2.5 tonnes to the acre or about 10 tonnes of fruit per year. It is the fruit from this block that is used to create our barrel fermented chardonnay and it is expected that soon this wine will move to a Grange of Prince Edward label.

Our multi-drug test panels identify specific drugs of abuse in urine specimen with high sensitivity and specificity.
Multi-drug Test Panels
DOA urine screening test panels are qualitative lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay test devices, based on the principle of drug-competitive inhibition immunoassay, employing unique monoclonal antibodies to selectively identify specific drugs of abuse (DOA) and the corresponding metabolites in urine samples with high sensitivity and specificity.
CE Marked Drug Test
Atlas Link Technology Co., Ltd supplies CE marked drug urine screening test kits in the formats of strip, cassette and multi-drug test panel with the following merits:
- Highly sensitive and specific;
- DOA testing results are read visually;
- No extra reagent is needed;
- Combinations subject to customers' selection.
Drug Competitive Immunoassay Principle
When testing with a rapid drug urine test, if the target drug and its metabolites present, they will compete with the colloidal gold labeled color developing chemicals for the binding site on the immobilized antibody in the test line region; when the concentration of the drug and its metabolites reach the cut-off level of the testing kit, they leave no binding site to the latter, and no color develops at the testing line, indicating a positive result.

Wild: 10-13 years
Captivity: 20 years
Females: 500 lbs
Males: 710 lbs
Name of Young
- American Elk are the second largest member of the deer family. The males of one subspecies, called the Roosevelt Elk, may reach the weight of 1300 lbs. The largest member of the deer family is the moose.
- Males begin growing antlers at around 11 months of age. Their antlers are fully grown when the elk reaches 4-6 years old. The antlers are 5.6 feet across on average and can weigh up to 40 lbs.
- Newborn elk weigh about 35 lbs at birth, and they are born with spots which fade by the end of the summer. By the time they are 6 months old, they are almost the size of an adult white tailed deer.
- During the mating season male elk bugle and grunt. Females may respond to their calls with a barking noise. Males will roll in mud during the breeding season to become more attractive to the females.
Did You Know?
Elk are important to many Native American tribes. In Lakota culture the spiritual elk was a symbol of strength and courage. Another name for elk is Wapiti. This word means "White Rump" in the Shawnee language.

Latitude And Rain Dictated Where Species Lived
More than 200 million years ago, mammals and reptiles lived in their own separate worlds on the supercontinent Pangaea, despite little geographical incentive to do so. Mammals lived in areas of twice-yearly seasonal rainfall; reptiles stayed in areas where rains came just once a year. Mammals lose more water when they excrete, and thus need water-rich environments to survive. Results are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Aggregating nearly the entire landmass of Earth, Pangaea was a continent the likes our planet has not seen for the last 200 million years. Its size meant there was a lot of space for animals to roam, for there were few geographical barriers, such as mountains or ice caps, to contain them.
Yet, strangely, animals confined themselves. Studying a transect of Pangaea stretching from about three degrees south to 26 degrees north (a long swath in the center of the continent covering tropical and semiarid temperate zones), a team of scientists led by Jessica Whiteside at Brown University has determined that reptiles, represented by a species called procolophonids, lived in one area, while mammals, represented by a precursor species called traversodont cynodonts, lived in another. Though similar in many ways, their paths evidently did not cross.
"We're answering a question that goes back to Darwin's time," said Whiteside, assistant professor of geological sciences at Brown, who studies ancient climates. "What controls where organisms live? The two main constraints are geography and climate."
Turning to climate, the frequency of rainfall along lines of latitude directly influenced where animals lived, the scientists write in a paper published this week in the online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In the tropical zone where the mammal-relative traversodont cynodonts lived, monsoon-like rains fell twice a year. But farther north on Pangaea, in the temperate regions where the procolophonids predominated, major rains occurred only once a year. It was the difference in the precipitation, the researchers conclude, that sorted the mammals' range from that of the reptiles.
The scientists focused on an important physiological difference between the two: how they excrete. Mammals lose water when they excrete and need to replenish what they lose. Reptiles (and birds) get rid of bodily waste in the form of uric acid in a solid or semisolid form that contains very little water.
On Pangaea, the mammals needed a water-rich area, so the availability of water played a decisive role in determining where they lived. "It's interesting that something as basic as how the body deals with waste can restrict the movement of an entire group," Whiteside said.
In water-limited areas, "the reptiles had a competitive advantage over mammals," Whiteside said. She thinks the reptiles didn't migrate into the equatorial regions because they already had found their niche.
The researchers compiled a climate record for Pangaea during the late Triassic period, from 234 million years ago to 209 million years ago, using samples collected from lakes and ancient rift basins stretching from modern-day Georgia to Nova Scotia. Pangaea was a hothouse then: Temperatures were about 20 degrees Celsius hotter in the summer, and atmospheric carbon dioxide was five to 20 times greater than today. Yet there were regional differences, including rainfall amounts.
The researchers base the rainfall gap on variations in the Earth's precession, or the wobble on its axis, coupled with the eccentricity cycle, based on the Earth's orbital position to the sun. Together, these Milankovitch cycles influence how much sunlight, or energy, reaches different areas of the planet. During the late Triassic, the equatorial regions received more sunlight, thus more energy to generate more frequent rainfall. The higher latitudes, with less total sunlight, experienced less rain.
The research is important because climate change projections shows areas that would receive less precipitation, which could put mammals there under stress.
"There is evidence that climate change over the last 100 years has already changed the distribution of mammal species," said Danielle Grogan, a graduate student in Whiteside's research group. "Our study can help us predict negative climate effects on mammals in the future."
Contributing authors include Grogan, Paul Olsen from Columbia University, and Dennis Kent from Rutgers. The National Science Foundation and the Richard Salomon Foundation funded the research.

 bill payments 5 Figure 3 Pattern of late residential bill payments 6 1. Background to the Problem The timing of payments on loans or amounts due are key to the cash flow of a company to whom the money is loaned. It is known that as loans become later it the payment may become increasingly difficult to collect and the potential for a default increases (Greenberg, 1997). For companies wishing to avoid taking on collections of more risky debts and for those who already have them, the ability to understand patterns of payments and the ability to predict the way in which these patterns will move will enable better decisions making to take place and increased the effectiveness of any risk assessments that take place (Howells and Bain, 2004). 2. Aims of Research The aim of the research is to look at the different patterns seen with overdue bill payments. The paper will seek to answer the following questions in order to increase the understanding with which late bill payment collections can be managed more efficiently and bill collections company can use to determine which risks they can afford to take on (Blazenko and Vandezande, 2003). The specific questions will include; * Is there any correlation between the amount and lateness of a bill? * Is there any difference between the residential ands the commercial bill payment patterns? * If there is a correlation for either the residential or the commercial costumers, to what extent does the correlation hold. The hypothesis is that First Hypothesis H1 There will be different patterns in payments seen with commercial bills being more likely to be paid later than the residential bills.

text: Organogelation is a useful and novel alternative to structure vegetable oils without the use of trans and/or saturated fats, providing useful and novel functional properties not only to food systems, but also to cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. However, the relationship between the molecular structure of gelator molecules, their gelling capability, and the physical properties of the organogels is still achieved more by serendipity than by a scientific approach. The 12-hydroxystearic acid (12-HSA) is a well-known gelator molecule that provides a structural platform from which a variety of derivatives can be made easily. In this chapter we discuss the relationship between the molecular structure of 12-HSA, ammonium chloride salts of amines, primary and secondary amides derived from the R enantiopure form of the 12-HSA, with the thermomechanical properties of the organogels developed using vegetable oils as the liquid apolar phase. The chapter discusses results obtained with organogels developed by these gelator molecules under static conditions, and organogels formed under the independent and combined effect of shearing and cooling rate. We also address the role of polar charges in the molecular self-assembly of ammonium chloride salts of amines derived from 12-HSA.

The Station's main "laboratory" is the reef and that is where most of the work takes place. Two laboratory buildings with relevant equipment complement this unique resource.
Raymond E. Purves Laboratory
This building has been supported by the Raymond E. Purves Foundation since its construction in 1991. It was extended and refurbished most recently in 2007. It now comprises four air-conditioned rooms, a large ambient room with running seawater and wet benches, and a large covered breezeway.
Researchers who need to do messy work such as dissecting fish, sorting through rubble, chemically preserving specimens, or assembling bulky items of field gear are generally allocated space in the Purves Lab. The large ambient room and the breezeway are ideal for these purposes and this is the only area on the station where fixative chemicals are allowed. Three of the air-conditioned rooms provide general lab and office space nearby for these researchers. The fourth airconditioned room can be made completely dark and has a vibration-free bench. This is useful for optical work and other special purposes.
Thyne Reid Wing
Originally built in the early 1980s as an office, library and laboratory, this building was totally refurbished as laboratories in 2007 thanks to support from the Thyne Reid Foundation. It is fully air-conditioned and now comprises three laboratories, a microscope room and a store room for lab equipment.
Researchers whose main focus is the field and the aquarium are generally allocated space in these labs, where fixative chemicals are not allowed.
With a small staff in a relatively remote location, LIRS does not provide a wide range of analytical equipment. Its focus is providing equipment that is relevant for observing, experimentally manipulating and recording data from living organisms and for processing samples to a stage suitable for transport to laboratories with more sophisticated facilities.
Both the Thyne Reid Foundation and the Raymond E. Purves Foundation have contributed substantial funds to provide equipment for the laboratories.
Main items of laboratory equipment are:
- Olympus dissecting microscope with high resolution digital camera and monitor
- Leitz Dialux 22 compound microscope with normal and fluorescence light sources
- Numerous other dissecting microscopes
- Cold fibre-optic light sources for microscopy
- Laboratory oven
- Laboratory incubator
- Electronic balances (to 0.1 g and to 0.0001 g)
- 20 litre dewar for liquid nitrogen that can be filled in Cairns by prior arrangement
- Water bath
- Fume cabinet
- Hot plate/ stirrers
- Distilled water maker
- Domestic refrigerators (5 degrees C) and freezers (minus 20 degrees C)
- Ice-making machine
- Electrical transformers from 240 V to 110V
Equipment may be in use by others, off the island for service, or otherwise unavailable. For this reason, researchers must flag the need for particular items of equipment when booking their trips.

Must Love Dogs: Texas Appellate Court Finds Trial Court Properly Excluded Habit Evidence In Animal Cruelty Case
In its recent opinion in Vevrecka v. State, 2009 WL 179203 (Tex.App.-Hous. 2009), the Court of Appeals of Texas found that a trial court did not err in precluding a defendant from presenting evidence of her habit of taking care of other animals in her trial for cruelty to her five dogs. And I agree with the court's opinion.
In Vavrecka, a police officer responded to a complaint that several dogs on the property of Jill Young Vavrecka appeared to be abandoned and in distress. That officer spotted two dogs that looked malnourished and emaciated, with no visible food or water nearby. After entering the property, the officer noticed that the dogs' food was infested with bugs and strewn with trash, with an unreachable water barrel some distance away.
The two dogs were covered with fleas, and the officer subsequently found three other dogs in similar condition in a back-yard pen. He also noticed the strong smell of urine and fecal matter, which covered the areas where the dogs were confined. The officer thereafter called Animal Control, which eventually removed the dogs from the property.
When Vevrecka learned that Animal Control had removed the dogs, she attempted to get the dogs back. Understandably, Animal Control petitioned a justice of the peace to release the animals to its care to prevent the animals from being returned to Vevrecka. The justice of the peace granted that petition and ordered the dogs to be released to Animal Control. But heartbreakingly, while one of the dogs was adopted, the other four had to be euthanized because they suffered from disease.
Vevrecka was later charged with a misdemeanor offense of cruelty to animals and convicted after a jury trial. Vevrecka subsequently appealed, claiming, inter alia, that the trial judge incorrectly prevented her from presenting habit evidence under Texas Rule of Evidence 406, which states that:
 "Evidence of the habit of a person or of the routine practice of an organization, whether corroborated or not and regardless of the presence of eyewitnesses is relevant to prove that the conduct of the person or organization on a particular occasion was in conformity with the habit or routine practice."
Under this Rule, the trial court actually permitted a line of questioning as to Vavrecka's habit and routine of care as to the five dogs at issue. But the court precluded her from presenting evidence concerning her past practice and routine of caring for other stray animals and nursing them to health because it was inadmissible character evidence, not permissible habit evidence.
I think that this distinction makes sense when we look at the Advisory Committee's Note to Federal Rule of Evidence 406, the federal counterpart to Texas Rule of Evidence 406. According to that Note,
 "Character is a generalized description of one's disposition, or of one's disposition in respect to a general trait, such as honesty, temperance, or peacefulness. 'Habit,' in modern usage, both lay and psychological, is more specific. It describes one's regular response to a repeated specific situation. If we speak of character for care, we think of the person's tendency to act prudently in all the varying situations of life, in business, family life, in handling automobiles and in walking across the street. A habit, on the other hand, is the person's regular practice of meeting a particular kind of situation with a specific type of conduct, such as the habit of going down a particular stairway two stairs at a time, or of giving the hand-signal for a left turn, or of alighting from railway cars while they are moving."
Looking at this Note, we can see why the habit evidence regarding Vevrecka's habit and routine of care as to her five dogs was admissible. Ostensibly, that evidence (which is not explained in any detail in the opinion) revealed that she had the regular response of diligent care to the specific situation of having those five dogs on a day in, day out basis (although the facts of the case would suggest that it was not so regular).
Conversely, the evidence regarding her care for other stray animals was either simply generalized character evidence regarding her character for care (of animals), or it was indeed habit evidence, but not evidence of a habit relevant to her trial. It was evidence that she had a regular response of diligent care to the repeated specific situation of having these other stray animals temporarily.

initiated when anything threatens to disrupt normal operations or puts human lives at risk.
Governments at all levels as well as many businesses devise some sort of disaster plan in preparation to overcome a potential catastrophe and return to normal function as quickly as possible.
One of the essential elements of disaster management involves defining the types of catastrophes that could possibly disrupt the day to day operation of a city, town, business, or country. Identifying those potential disasters makes it possible to create contingency plans, assemble supplies, and outline procedures that can be initiated when and if a given disaster does come to pass.
A truly comprehensive disaster management plan will encompass a wide range of possibilities that can easily be adapted in the event one disaster sets off a chain reaction of other types of disasters in its wake.

Cuban Marine Parks during Pandemic
Imagine yourself staring out across an endless expanse of saltwater flats, mangroves, and pristine beaches seeing hundreds of tarpon rolling with no care in the world. Imagine yourself thirty meters below the surface swimming along a pristine and colorful reef full of groupers, sharks and innumerable wild creatures. This is Cuba, in all it's untarnished majesty.
During 2020, Cuba has become wilder, more pristine, and increasingly biodiverse. It has remained an initiative of Blue Sanctuary to continue to carry out research, patrolling and enforcement efforts in the marine parks during this lockdown period against all odds. Even though resources and personnel were limited, we never stopped! We made sure that the flora and fauna within these parks were able to grow, reproduce and thrive.
From March to the end of November 2020, in Jardines de la Reina, there have been two skiffs patrolling for 12 hours per day across the entire marine park. Along with these patrolling teams, a crew of scientists and researchers on the Oceans for Youth vessel, led by Fabian Pina Amargós, continue to improve our understanding of the populations and ecosystem dynamics that make this place so special. In addition, there has been another team in the Canarreos archipelago comprising Isla de Juventud, Cayo Largo, and Zapata; patrolling 60 hours per week across the destinations while continuing their research. On the north coast, the Cayo Romano marine park has been aggressively patrolled day in and day out to ensure that there is no illegal fishing, netting, or disturbances by foreign vessels. Scientists, researchers, and guides have utilized this time to further their understanding of the marine resources on which they so intrinsically rely. Without any pressure on fish populations, allowing for easy capture rates, researchers were able to gather over 900 unique DNA samples and input over 300 tags in various fish species to assist in monitoring the population movement among the archipelagos. This period of research will be integral for years to come in sustainable management efforts as well as policy making decisions throughout Cuba.
The graph above displays the growing trend of fish tagging efforts in the Cuban marine parks to better understand fish population and migration dynamics.
Because of these endeavors, the research teams have monitored massive spawning aggregations and an incredible abundance of fish species swimming calmly about their natural life patterns. The high numbers of fish logged in population surveys, from small lorito snappers, to goliath groupers, and tarpon; have signaled that these ecosystems are fully functioning in a harmonious state from top to bottom. The research and humanitarian efforts within the marine parks are the conduit to which humankind is able to experience the bounty of Cuba in its natural state coupled with the positive effects of marine conservation. Where else in the world can you jump thirty tarpon in a day? Where else can you dive amongst fifty carribean reef and silky sharks? Where else does the sheer act of participation in nature have positive results on the health of the ecosystem? These are the Blue Sanctuaries of Cuba.
Finally, even though 2020 was a historic hurricane year, our marine parks and infrastructure were completely unaffected. A couple of small storms grazed the island, but the natural coastal barriers kept harm at bay. With sound and innovative management of both flora and fauna since the early 90s, Blue Sanctuary is now excited to be welcoming a new era of enhanced progress and sustainability in Cuba. We feel incredibly lucky to be winding this year down with great news that the conservation mission that we have set out to pursue has been successful in even the most difficult of times. Our crews, guides, and scientists are healthy and eager to welcome you back to Cuba when the time comes. Until then, stay safe and happy.

Protect our children and ban smoking in cars
WE are urgently calling on the Executive to protect young people from the deadly effects of passive smoking by introducing a ban on smoking in cars where children are present.
Passive smoking claims thousands of lives each year across the UK and this is the right time for the Executive to take a leading role in reducing the impact of smoking in Northern Ireland.
Both Scotland and the Republic of Ireland are already moving forward on this issue and the Executive at Stormont needs to make a similar commitment and bring forward a consultation on a Bill to ban smoking in cars as a matter of urgency.
Legislation to ban smoking in cars where children are present would protect this most vulnerable group from a hazard that can cause them significant harm, in a space that is already well-regulated.
Legislation could also increase awareness of the harms associated with passive smoking and encourage people to protect others in other enclosed locations, such as at home.
Passive smoking contributes to a 25% increased risk of stroke and a 30% increased risk of coronary heart disease. With three-quarters of the UK population in support of this legislation, which will save lives and improve public health, now is the time to act.

To determine the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes among rural and urban Malaysians.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 3,879 Malaysian adults (1,335 men and 2,544 women). All subjects underwent the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
The overall prevalence of prediabetes was 22.1% (30.2% in men and 69.8% in women). Isolated impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were found in 3.4 and 16.1% of the study population, respectively, whereas 2.6% of the subjects had both IFG and IGT. Based on an OGTT, the prevalence of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes was 12.6% (31.0% in men and 69.0% in women). The prediabetic subjects also had an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors.
The large proportion of undiagnosed cases of prediabetes and diabetes reflects the lack of public awareness of the disease.


A simple example of complex marshaling
A friend of mine is working on a project that he's been having some major stability problems with. All of these issues seem to be related with interop to a Sybase database.
After working on and off with him for the past few months, it seems that the root of the problems lie in the fact that a previous developer had written some functions in a "shim" native DLL that calls intoo Sybase, so instead of P/Invoking the Sybase stuff, the developer created a wrapper DLL that he P/Invoked.
After looking at some of the wrapper two things were obvious. First, the Sybase functions were undecorated C functions, so the shim was unnecessary in the first place, and second, the developer's skill with C are terrible and the shim he created was likely the cause of the problems. So I recommended throwing out the shim, as it was garbage and it was completely unnecessary.
That lead to yet more questions – most notably "how do I marshal X or Y" type things along with "how the hell does one figure this stuff out" and "is this stuff documented anywhere?" Well other than experience I know of little for figuring it out, and once you get beyond the capabilities of the CF's marshaler I also know of know real documentation. So I decided I'd put together a fairly simple example of complex marshaling (yes, simple complex).
So first let's look at a typical scenario. The Sybase stuff often takes in pointers to big, ugly structures. These structures contain pointers. Sometimes they are pointers to ASCII strings. Well instead of wrapping one of these big nasty things, let's create a small representative example that you as a reader can expand upon.
The Native Side
Let's create a native DLL that exports one funtion that takes a fairly easy-to-grasp structure. The function will simply present a MessageBox with the info. So here's a structure:
typedef struct MESSAGE_INFO
{
 char *message;
 WORD length;
 DWORD number;
} MESSAGE_INFO;
Note that 'message' is a char *, indicating ASCII. I'd never write a CE function like this, but this is an example of how to call an existing function, not a best-practices lesson. Note also that 'length' is only a WORD (2-bytes) making 'number' not DWORD aligned, so there is actually an unused 2 bytes in this thing as well. Again, I'm trying to show some ugliness that you will see in the wild, not cover how it should be done.
So let's look at the native function just as a reference. I'll not explain the whole thing as it's simple and the comments should answer most questions:
__declspec(dllexport)
void ShowMessage(MESSAGE_INFO *info)
{
 TCHAR message[512];
 // create a buffer for the Unicode string
 wchar_t *wideString = (wchar_t *)LocalAlloc(LPTR, (info->length + 1) * sizeof(wchar_t));
 // convert the ASCII message to Unicode
 mbstowcs(wideString, info->message, info->length);
 // show a message box with the data
 _stprintf(message, _T("Message: %srnNumber: %i"), wideString, info->number);
 MessageBox(NULL, message, NULL, 0);
 // free the Unicode buffer
 LocalFree(wideString);
}
The Managed Side
Ok, so the native side is pretty straightforward. It's not ideal from a managed developer's perspective, but let's face it – native developers rarely think of making managed developer's lives easy when they write code.
We need to figure out how to create a MESSAGE_INFO "struct" and pass it in in a format that the API can use it. First, we can safely rule out letting the CF marshaler handle this. It would have no clue what to do with this. We can also rule out creating this as a managed struct. The interned char * is not blittable, so we'll have to hand-marshal this. The pointer itself also means we'll have to manage some memory manually too, and that also means "Danger Will Robinson!" as we have the potential for a memory leak. Don't fear that fact – just be aware of it.
So first, we need to understand what the native DLL is expecting. It wants a pointer to a struct – so simply put a 4-byte address. At that address will be 12 bytes of data representing a MESSAGE_INFO struct. The first 4 bytes of that is yet another address. At that address is ASCII character data. That's it. Now lets convert that English to C#.
First we'll create a MESSAGE_INFO class (we choose a class instead of a struct becasue we'll be doing some work internally on it). In the class we'll define a byte array that holds the 12 bytes that represent a native MESSAGE_INFO as well as some constants for member offsets and lengths for readability:
private const int MESSAGE_PTR_OFFSET = 0;
private const int MESSAGE_PTR_LENGTH = 4;
private const int LENGTH_OFFSET = MESSAGE_PTR_OFFSET + MESSAGE_PTR_LENGTH;
private const int LENGTH_LENGTH = 2;
// DWORD compiler alignment forces an unused 2-byte block here
private const int RESERVED_OFFSET = LENGTH_OFFSET + LENGTH_LENGTH;
private const int RESERVED_LENGTH = 2;
private const int NUMBER_OFFSET = RESERVED_OFFSET + RESERVED_LENGTH;
private const int NUMBER_LENGTH = 4;
public static int StructLength = NUMBER_OFFSET + NUMBER_LENGTH;
// in-memory representation of a native MESSAGE_INFO struct
private byte[] m_data = new byte[StructLength];
So when we call the API, we'll just pass it a byte array (a byte array is already a reference type and will get passes as a pointer) instead of a MESSAGE_INFO struct. Remember, the native side just wants a 4-byte number. All of the decorations we use of sturct names and all of that is simply for developer convenience. As long as we know that our m_data byte array is arranged to match a native MESSAGE_INFO, it will all work.
So our P/Invoke declaration looks like this:
[DllImport("NativeLibrary.dll", SetLastError = true)]
internal static extern void ShowMessage(byte[] messageInfo);
Simple, right? To call the native API, we simply call ShowMessage with our m_data bytes. Of course that's a bit ugly and non-managed, so we'll provide an operator to get the m_data without having to expose it explicitly:
// provide an operator to turn a MESSAGE_INFO into a byte array for marshaling
public static implicit operator byte[](MESSAGE_INFO mi)
{
 return mi.m_data;
}
Now we can just call ShowMessage with a managed MESSAGE_INFO instance and we're done. So far it's all been pretty simple. The difficult part is actually populating the m_data bytes with the right info.
First, let's start with an easy one – the numeric data. The 'number' member is a publicly exported value, while 'length' is meant to be used internally as the length of the string data. So let's expose a Number property for the managed MESSAGE_INFO class, with set and get accessors. Instead of using a private member variable to hold the value, we'll hold it in the m_data array:
public int Number
{
 set
 {
 // copy the "value" bytes to our in-memory representation
 Buffer.BlockCopy(BitConverter.GetBytes(value), 0, m_data, NUMBER_OFFSET, NUMBER_LENGTH);
 }
 get
 {
 // get the number from our in-memory representation
 return BitConverter.ToInt32(m_data, NUMBER_OFFSET);
 }
}
Ok, so now the fun one. The string. Since we're passing just a pointer, we need to allocate memory for that pointer to "point to" plus we need to make sure that the GC isn't allowed to move that memory around in the event of a compaction. There are a few ways to do this, but the "recommended" mechanism is a GCHandle. A fixed unsafe pointer would also work, but it assumes you'll only use C# and that you know a bit more about pointers than you might.
So we'll add a GCHandle private member to the class, plus a byte array for our actual message (the memory that the GCHandle will point to):
// GCHandle for our message string
private GCHandle m_messageHandle;
// byte array for the actual message data
private byte[] m_messageData;
Now we need to expose a Message string property. In the set accessor we want to take the incoming string and put it'

Video Transcript: Hydrogen Hot Spots on Vesta
The animation from NASA's Dawn mission shows
abundances of hydrogen in a wide swath around
the equator of the giant asteroid Vesta.
The hydrogen probably exists in the form of hydroxyl
or water bound to minerals in Vesta's surface.
Red indicates the greatest abundances of hydrogen and gray the lowest,
as measured by Dawn's gamma ray and neutron detector.
The hydrogen data were superimposed on a mosaic of
images and 3-D model of Vesta created from
Dawn framing camera data.

There are lots of ways to look at the universe. Scientists take pictures that show minute details and beautiful colors. They split light into its individual wavelengths to learn details about an object's composition and motion. And they look at forms of energy that are invisible to the human eye. Each technique adds to our understanding of how the universe works. [bring music up]
Roberto Morales-Manzanares has found another way to "look" at the universe: with music. He worked with scientists to create software that creates music from raw data. The scientists were developing a NASA mission called STEREO -- two spacecraft that study the Sun from different angles to produce a 3D view.
Scientists were already converting data into sound. [fade music out, sun sounds in.] This example shows the flow of the solar wind -- a stream of charged particles from the Sun. The sounds allow scientists to "feel" the Sun's rhythms. [cross-fade solar wind to music]
But the STEREO scientists wanted another way to appreciate the sound -- and a way to engage the public in their work. So four years ago, they turned to Morales, a musician and a graduate student at UC Berkeley.
Not only did he develop the music-generating software, he created his own piece from data captured by another Sun-watching satellite. It's called "Turning Point." It provides a new way to look at the universe -- through music. [bring up music to end]
