Why Choose To Offset Your Weddin
Why choose to offset your wedding?
Weddings are a special kind of event in one's life, an event where dozens or hundreds of people come together, sometimes across great distances, to celebrate a special moment in a couple's life.
According to recent data, the average wedding produces 63 tons of CO₂. Offsetting this emission has become a viable option in the last few years. ICONIC now provides couples with a convenient option to offset their wedding.
Use the calculator below to quantify your wedding's impact on the environment, and see what offsetting options are available.
Carbon Emission Calculator
Fill in the fields to calculate the amount of CO₂ emission your wedding will produce.
Choose a project to support from the packages below by offsetting your wedding.
Not only will you have a greener wedding, you will also become a vital part of a community that fights climate change.
The Katingan Mentaya Forest Project
The project protects vital peatland habitats in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia along with economic, educational, health and gender support to the surrounding communities.
CO2OL CliMates
The combination of a climate protection project in Germany and Indonesia for peatland restoration. Peatlands are important carbon sinks that stabilize our climate.
Sustainable Community in Canada
Energy efficiency and solid waste diversion activities within the Quebec community regrouping hundreds of SME, stimulating their GHG efforts.
We use Global Warming Potential Values (GWP) provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency to identify the quantity of greenhouse gas emission and to offset it in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e).
Our calculations are based on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG protocol) methodology as a referring source.
In order to calculate the total of CO₂ emission from cars used in the wedding we estimate the total number of miles driven in the wedding and multiply this number by the average CO₂ emission per 1 mile. The same calculation method is used to determine CO₂ emission from flights in total. The total number of miles from all the flights are multiplied by the average CO₂ emission produced by a plane per 1 mile. Calculation is based on US Environmental Protection Agency's data.
We ask to specify the type of meal served at the wedding in order to determine how much CO₂ emission will be produced by the total amount of food served in your wedding. The type of meal has an impact of the amount of CO₂ produced. Recent studies have shown that vegetarian and vegan meals produce much less CO₂ emission compared to meals that contain meat. According to the Oxford University study figures, an average non-vegetarian meal produces 15.8 pounds of CO₂ when vegetarian and vegan meals produces almost half of that: 8.4 and 6.4 pounds of CO₂ respectively. We base our calculation according to the number of guests that choose non-vegetarian and vegetarian/vegan meal options in your wedding.

Grace Elizabeth King (November 29, 1852 - January 12, 1932) was an American author of Louisiana stories, history, and biography, and a leader in historical and literary activities.
She was born in New Orleans on November 29, 1852, the third of what became seven children of lawyer William Woodson King and Sarah Ann Miller King. The family had an aristocratic background but had been impoverished by the American Civil War. Grace King later studied under Charles Gayarré and eventually found her living in writing; among her subjects were other women who had been put in the same situation.
In 1915 she was awarded an honorary degree in letters from Tulane University. Her many literary friends and acquaintances included Mark Twain and Edmund Wilson.
She is buried in Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.
Grace King High School on Grace King Place in Metairie, Louisiana, is named in her honor. The Residential Life Administration building at Louisiana State University is also named after her.

- Lake Fort Smith Dam & Reservoir Enlargement
Burns & McDonnell, together with Shannon & Wilson as principal geotechnical consultant, completed the final design phases for the development of the enlarged Lake Fort Smith Water Supply Reservoir as part of continuing services to the City of Fort Smith, Ark. The project entails the design of a single, enlarged dam and impoundment to replace the existing Lake Fort Smith (8,900 acre-feet) and Lake Shepherd Springs (17,600 acre-feet) reservoirs at the site.
When completed, the enlarged reservoir impounds approximately 84,000 acre-feet of conservation storage. The enlarged dam is constructed as a zoned earth and rockfill structure, which had to be constructed while maintaining the water supply capability of the existing Lake Fort Smith Reservoir. The final design phase followed Burns & McDonnell's completion of a comprehensive alternatives analysis and preliminary design for the project.
The general contractor for the project is Granite Construction Co. of Watsonville, Calif.
- Intake tower with microtunnels
- Road relocation
- Raw water lines
- Outlet works
- Pressure reducing station
- Dam embankment
- Principal spillway
- Auxiliary spillway
Major project components include the following:
- Intake tower with microtunnels: This new four-cell reinforced concrete structure is 46 feet square at its base and 225 feet tall. Two of the cells, each rated at 100 percent capacity, are for raw water supply and the other two cells are for flow diversion. The intake tower is constructed in the left abutment since the water supply capability of the existing Lake Fort Smith Reservoir had to be maintained during its construction. Existing rock in the left abutment was used as a cofferdam to allow construction of the intake tower in relatively dry conditions. The lower portion of the intake tower was poured directly against a shaft wall that was formed by blasting and excavating the existing rock materials. Each of the two raw water supply cells in the intake tower contains six sluice gates located at various elevations to allow draw off of raw water from the reservoir. Each sluice gate is connected to a 60-inch diameter opening in the intake tower wall. The lowest opening in each raw water supply cell was approximately 52 feet below the water level in the existing reservoir. Thus, the two conduits between the intake tower shaft and the reservoir were installed by the microtunneling method to prevent the reservoir from filling the intake tower shaft during installation of the conduits. Each microtunnel liner pipe had an inside diameter of 60 inches and approximately 150 feet of fine-grained sandstone, with thin shale laminations, separated the intake tower shaft from the point of break through into the existing reservoir.
- God's Ranch Road: Relocation of this existing county road was required to allow room for construction of the new intake tower and its associated access pad with standby generator building.
- Raw water lines: Two new 48-inch diameter PCCP raw water supply lines, each rated at 100 percent capacity, are installed from the new intake tower to the existing Mountainburg Water Treatment Plant. Each line contains pigging facilities to facilitate their cleaning.
- Outlet works: This facility is comprised of a new 1,300-foot-long tunnel through the left abutment of the dam in addition to a new reinforced concrete stilling basin at the tunnel portal and a new riprap lined outlet channel, which connects to existing Frog Bayou. The bottom portion of the tunnel contains the raw water supply lines and the top portion contains a new reinforced concrete diversion conduit, which connects to the reinforced concrete stilling basin.
- Pressure reducing station: Initially this structure is a pump station that can be used to deliver raw water to the Mountainburg Water Treatment Plant at any time adequate head is not available after lowering the existing Lake Fort Smith Reservoir level to allow closure of the existing spillway for construction of the new embankment. As the new reservoir level increases the structure will be converted to control and meter raw water flow to the water treatment plant.
- Dam embankment: The new 190-foot-high by 3,300-foot-long embankment incorporates the existing 89-foot-high Lake Fort Smith Dam, which will allow the reservoir's normal pool elevation to be raised by 86 feet. The new embankment comprises a clay core, fine and coarse filters, and upstream and downstream rock shells (shale and sandstone) with a total volume of over five million cubic yards.
- Principal spillway inlet weir/trough: The principal spillway will pass flows (33,000 cfs) up to the 100-year flood event. Flows will pass over a new 250-foot-long reinforced concrete ogee weir and into a new 445-foot-long reinforced concrete trough section.
- Principal spillway box culvert: This new section of the spillway connects the trough section to the chute section and is designed to carry flow through the new dam embankment. This reinforced concrete structure contains four box sections and is 260 feet long, 68 feet wide and more than 21 feet high.
- Principal spillway chute: This new 1,400-foot-long section of the spillway connects the box culvert section to the new reinforced concrete stilling basin. The reinforced concrete chute section is 55 feet and 152 feet wide at the upstream and downstream ends, respectively, and contains vertical walls up to 21 feet in height.
- Auxiliary spillway: More than 5.5 million cubic yards of excavation (shale and sandstone) was required to construct this spillway, which will pass flows (136,000 cfs) in excess of the 100-year flood event. The excavated portion of the spillway is more than 3,300 feet long and 365 feet wide at its control sill. The majority of the excavated shale and sandstone is used to construct the rock shells of the dam embankment. Portions of the spillway are rock bolted to provide stability and exposed shale faces are shotcreted to prevent erosion.

Special Effect Inks
We develop and manufacture our very own exclusive Special Effect inks to add visual impact to Point of Sale (POS) and Point of Purchase (POP) materials that engage with the senses: sight, touch and smell.
'Disruptive' inks have a significant benefit for advertisers by increasing the initial impact of the print, attracting then engaging more viewers. The inks are visually effective and use reflective light and luminescence to create 'twinkling', 'shimmering' and 'glowing' effects. The range also includes 'heat reactive' inks, allowing the print to alter according to changes in temperature.
'Sensory' inks are designed to increase the viewer's interaction or dwell time with a piece of print by engaging the other senses such as touch and smell, encouraging the viewer to play with the ink. The list of our 'sensory' inks includes: 'high build' and 'fizz' varnishes which are raised above the surface of the print; 'rubberised' and 'stone' finishes which accurately reproduce the feel of these materials; 'scratch and sniff' inks that can be made using whatever scent is desired, if it's in a bottle we can reproduce it on paper; and 'wash off' inks that allow a moistened finger to remove the print ink from the paper revealing a new message or image.
Applied as overall or selective finishes, our 'Luxury' inks increase the perceived value of a piece of print. We do this in two key ways; firstly, we use clear finishes over standard print to give a luxurious feel. Secondly, the inks are combined with the actual colour print to produce an opulent impression.
If you are looking for that little extra sparkle on your POS or POP, we have just the solution.

Brigade Models give us that sinking feeling with the release of some stellar sci-fi sunken/underground terrain models in 6mm!
The desert is a harsh environment, with the combination of sun, sand and wind making life difficult for anyone trying to eke out an existence among the dunes. Some colonists have tried to protect themselves from the climate by digging themselves into the terrain and building their houses, workshops underground. In some cases they've built above ground and then buried the structures under a layer of plascrete and sand, leaving just the doors and windows exposed, with a few vents and exhausts.
For want of a better name, we've called these ones Sunken Structures. They're based around a courtyard sunk into the ground around 25 feet or so, with doors and tunnels leading off from the open central area. Windows and vents pierce the side walls and exhaust towers protrude above the surface. Access from ground level can be by simple stairs cut into the rock or elevators running up the side of the pits. Some are accessed through small entrance buildings on the surface above. One of the structures is an octagonal pit with a large workshop door off to one side, intended as a below-ground landing bay.
The models are one-piece resin castings. They're all cast as simple square or rectangular pieces, and all are 25mm deep – the idea is for them to be modeled into a terrain baseboard or hill/mesa using 25mm thick insulation foam.

New out of the Brigade Models factory are a trio of support half-tracks for their 15mm Polish forces. The Wilk (Wolf) chassis carries either a pair of tri-barrel AA gatlings, a quad anti-tank missile system or a 12-barreled multiple rocket artillery system.
The Wilk is derived from the Suwalska half-track family, but with a flat-bed rear replacing the former's passenger compartment. The turrets are of Soviet origin, bought in and retro-fitted with indigenous electronics and sensors.
The models can also see service in the Cecach Federal Army, a force from the Forlorn Hope novel and part of the Hammer's Slammers universe.
SF300-1305 – Wilk AA Half Track – £8.00
SF300-1305a – Wilk with ATGW Launcher – £8.00
SF300-1305b – Wilk Rocket Launcher – £8.00

The Grand Fleet arrives! Brigade Models releases more British Aeronef models to their lineup!
Following on from the arrival of the new Victoria and Albert class battleships, the rest of the British capital ships get a similar makeover this week. The Agincourt and Benbow battleships plus the Audacious and Britannia battlecruisers have all been replaced by new resin-hulled models with separate turrets and metal parts. The new designs are similar in layout to the originals, but the multiple separate parts make for much improved miniatures.
We've revamped the existing British fleet packs with the new models, including the British Grand Fleet pack. The two new turret types are also available in separate accessory packs.
VAN-101 – Benbow class Battleship – £8.00
VAN-109 – Agincourt class Battleship – £8.00
VAN-111 – Britannia class Battlecruiser – £7.00
VAN-114 – Audacious class Battlecruiser – £7.00
VAN-7016 – British Battleship Turrets (x10) – £1.50
VAN-7017 – British Battlecruiser Turrets (x10) – £1.50

Two new Small Scale Scenery items have arrived on the Brigade Models website allowing you to make a more extensive harbour layout.
The first is a pack of four resin Jetties, two plain and two with buildings moulded on. The pieces are 5mm thick and have detailing all the way round so that they can be used as jetties or piers projecting from land or as stand-alone islands.
The second item is aimed at scratchbuilders and is a set of metal harbour front pieces that match the detailing and height around the edge of the jetties. The height of 5mm means that you can use standard thickness foam card to make the body of the dock and then edge it with the metal harbour front pieces.
SSS-8104 – Jetties (x4) – £8.00
SSS-8105 – Harbour Fronts – £4.00

In the Brigade Models Small Scale (15mm) Scenery range, they have updated and re-released their sound mirror models, replacing the old ones with slightly tweaked new versions and adding two new types of smaller acoustic mirror. These now come six to a pack, two each of three designs.
And in the City Blocks series, they have added two new designs. The first is a set of four inner curves that can replace the existing corner pieces, or when used together will make up a circular plaza. And finally, two end terrace blocks which can be used to terminate a row of city blocks.

Brigade Models Neo-Soviet ground forces have recently been receiving all sorts of upgrades, with new types of tank and assault gun in both 6mm and 15mm scales.
The one thing they needed to support these new vehicles was an armoured infantry carrier capable of keeping up with the tanks. Well, today that arrives in the form of the new BMP-BM.
This vehicle is based on the chassis of the Bars tank, with a new superstructure capable of carrying six fully-equipped Guards riflemen. The rear-engined design precludes doors at the back of the vehicle, so access is via a two-piece hatch at the front next to the driver's station.
The release also includes a Guards Infantry Company with eight BMP-BM, a Lisa command vehicle and 48 infantry. There is also a new Guards Army Pack with 12 Bars tanks, 4 Terminators, 8 BMP-BM, command vehicles and infantry.

Brigade Models brought out the first wave of their resculpted EuroFed spaceships in time for Salute, but this only replaced a small part of the existing fleet. T
They have now re-released a pair of capital ships, new versions of the Liberté battleship and Cerbere light carrier. These two have changed in design more than some of the other new models, being based on a similar hull that has the same design styling as the Milano and Umberto. At the other end of the scale they also have the diminutive Comète starfighter, tiny but with an amazing amount of detail for something so small.
The release also includes a fleet pack containing a Liberté and a Cerbere along with escorts, fighters and bases.
SFS-400 – Liberté class Battleship – £6.00
SFS-411 – Cerbere class Light Carrier – £6.00
SFS-460 – Comète class Interceptor (pack of 12) – £1.50
SFSP-401 – EuroFed Fleet Pack #1 – £22.00

As the next stage in the gradual resculpting of the Aeronef range, Brigade Models have released five new capital ships for the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Three of the models replace the existing battleship designs – the Erzherzog Ferdinand Max, Budapest and Szent István classes. All have new resin hulls with the customary collection of metal fittings – turrets, masts, funnels and tails.
The two new models are the Viribus Unitas dreadnought, which may be familiar to more venerable Aeronef gamers – long ago I wrote an article on our website about converting a Ferdinand Max model to the Viribus Unitas class by extending the hull and adding to the armament. This version of the Viribus is similarly an extended Ferdinand with an extra main turret. Finally, and largest of all, the Habsburg class utilises the semi-rigid dirigible hull of the Kaiserin class fighter carrier, but replaces the flight deck with a substantial mixed main battery, and the flank anti-fighter turrets are replaced by eight secondary gun turrets.
The three existing models are already in fleet packs, and we've created an extra fleet pack with a Habsburg and Viribus Unitas in, along with escorts. Although the older models are technically being retired, they'll still be available to anyone who already has some and wants compatible models – just go to the page for the new versions and scroll down, then you'll see a link allowing you to buy the old version.
VAN-704 – Erzherzog Ferdinand Max – £7.00
VAN-706 – Budapest – £6.00
VAN-708 – Szent István – £7.00
VAN-714 – Habsburg – £9.00
VAN-715 – Viribus Unitas – £7.50
VANFP-704 – Austro-Hungarian Fleet Pack #3 – £22.00
VANF-703 – Austrian Empire Flags – £0.50


NOT kill the yeast nor does it kill the yeast in the dough. Short term contact such as the time your ingredients are sitting together in a bowl even if it is overnight is not a problem. If you have any doubt do the following. Using whatever method you use to proof your yeast, set up this experiment: Using two identical containers (drinking glasses work well), in one empty glass place just the yeast (amount recomended for proofing). In the other glass place the same amount of yeast PLUS the amount of salt that you add to one loaf of bread. Let the glasses sit overnight at room temperature. The next day add the same amount of warm water to each glass and stir in 1 tsp table sugar. Both glasses will foam up an identical amount proving that contact with salt is not a problem for home bakers. The conditions under which salt and yeast react detrimentally are not experienced by the home baker. If a home baker made two identical loafs - one with salt and the other without salt - they would notice absolutely no difference in the process, the feel of the dough, the volume expansion during proofing, rise times, or in the appearance of the finished loaf. They may taste the difference but they would not feel or see a difference. The only condition I can imagine is if a home baker wanted to store their yeast and salt together for a long period. In this case, over a period of weeks and/or months the salt will extract the remaining 7% water in the dry yeast - completely desiccating it and thus killing the yeast cells. This process would take weeks and months before all the yeast cells were killed - not minutes or days. >ADDITIVES IN INSTANT DRY YEAST: I buy my dry yeast in one-pound >packages. I notice that the ingredients listed on the package >include, besides yeast, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and an emulsifier >(though both additives are in small amounts). My packages of SAF >Instant Yeast and Fleischmann's Instant Yeast both list the >following ingredients: yeast, sorbitan monosterate (the emulsifier), and >ascorbic acid. In contrast, whenever I've purchased Active Dry yeast >(usually Fleischmann's) the package ingredients always just say >yeast (nothing else). In the case of Vitamin C, although vitamin C is a dough enhancer, these companies are not adding it to their products to improve your dough - they add it to the yeast (especially Instant Dry Yeast) because it is also an anti-oxidant. Most, if not all, of the dry yeast containers are packaged under an atmosphere of nitrogen - the intent is to displace air which contains oxygen. Oxygen will eventually kill the yeast cells - it will oxidize them. It is the same process when you see that fresh steak start to turn color - the meat is oxidizing. Most containers say to use the dry yeast within 6 months of opening. Vitamin C acts as an oxygen scavenger thus giving the product a 6 month recommended use period. Many Instant Dry Yeast products contain or will start to contain variations of the chemical Sorbitan Monosterate. Again, this chemical is not added to enhance your dough in any way but is added as a rehydration-controlling agent. From a yeast patent is the following: "In EP-A0616030, Instant Dry Yeast is improved by adding a rehydration-controlling agent. A large variety of rehydrating controlling agents is suggested among which are esters of fatty acids (e.g. fatty acid esters of sorbitan such as sorbitan monolaureate, monopalmitate, monostearate or monooleate). Addition of sorbitan monostearate or glycerine monostearate resulted in an improved gassing activity of the Instant Dry Yeast when the yeast is rehydrated before being mixed with other dough ingredients such as flour, water, and salt. The disadvantage of these agents is that, although some improvement in the (cold) water resistance of the yeast is obtained, still too much gassing power of the Instant Dry Yeast is lost when the Instant Dry Yeast is subjected to rehydration." Bob the Tarheel Baker wrote: >No! No! No! Rapid-rise yeast is not the same as Instant >Yeast. RRY has chemicals added to it to make it rise in half the >time it takes for active dry yeast and instant yeast to rise. In >addition, the yeast cells die quicker so there is really just enough >oomph for one rise. Rapid-rise should not be used by artisan bread >bakers who believe long, slow rises contribute both flavor and structure Sorry Bob, RapidRise yeast is Fleichmann's brand of Instant Dry Yeast. You are misinformed, RapidRise yeast does NOT contain any chemicals that are added to "make it rise in half the time for active dry yeast and instant yeast to rise." The last time I saw one of the individual packets of RapidRise yeast the only ingredient listed was yeast. It did not contain vitamin c (whose chemical name is ascorbic acid) as the individual packets are intended for a one time use. Thus, they do not need to add an anti-oxidant since it is intended the contents would all be used at one time. The 4 oz containers of Fleischmann's RapidRise list yeast and ascorbic acid as the only ingredients. Please share with us any articles that back up your claim that Instant Dry Yeast "cells die quicker" - All strains of yeast, including Instant Dry Yeast, go through normal cell growth and reproduction as long as they have water, food, oxygen and the right temperature. In bread dough they have all these ingredients. RapidRise yeast can certainly be used by artisan bread bakers. You simply use an amount equivalent to the amount of Active Dry Yeast or Compressed Yeast. It is an easy substitution and you keep all other aspects of your recipe and process the same. Your dough will not rise faster - you can use all the same slow rise techniques that contribute to flavor and structure. There are no magical ingredients in RapidRise yeast. The name may be misleading but it is simply a tradename. One source states that is takes 20,000,000,000 yeast cells to make 1 gram (yes, that is 20 billion). I do not know if that is in their fully hydrated stage or in their dried state. The only real difference between Compressed Yeast, Active Dry Yeast and Instant Dry Yeast is the number of cells per gram. Compressed yeast has the fewest and Instant Dry Yeast the most. And what is important, is the number of viable cells you add in your recipe. Be it Compressed Yeast, Active Dry Yeast or Instant Dry Yeast if you add the same number of viable cells you will get the same result. Gloria Martin wrote: >I do have a question. I know that salt inhibits the growth of yeast, >but I do believe I would like a little more salt in the finished >product. Would adding an additional 1/4 teaspoon inhibit the yeast too much? Go ahead and add the extra salt if you think it will improve the taste. That small amount of additional salt will not impact the yeast in any way. Tom --------------- MESSAGE bread-bakers.v107.n004.6 --------------- From: Subject: BBA Focaccia-Lessons Learned Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 10:29:06 -0500 (EST) I'm not here to explain why, just to report results. I had not made any bread for a very long time so I decided it was time to get back at it. I wanted to make a good focaccia so we could make some great Paninni sandwiches. Really like the one's at Panera's but they are over an hour away. So here's what I did. I started with the pain a l'ancienne recipe but I use more water for the focaccia. In this batch it was 30 oz of cold water but the rest of the recipe was as printed. This gives a dough that is better described as a batter. You can't possibly "handle" it. I had made this once before in the 11" X 17" sheet pan and it worked great. This time I wanted 4 individual breads so I used four 8" round cake pans. Two were the regular aluminum cake pans the other two were Hefty 8" aluminum disposables from Wal-Mart. I know Peter R says to use parchment in the bottoms but I figured I had put so much herbed olive oil in the pan that I could skip the parchment. That's the first lesson learned - pay attention to Peter! Now, here's the odd part. I baked the first two regular cake pans at the same time and when they came out the focaccia was HOPELESSLY stuck to the pan. Now the two disposable pans were already full of dough/batter. I figure I might as well bake them and I can just peel the pans off. When these pans came out, the focaccia just fell out of the pan. No sticking, no fuss. It may be that those pans are made of the new no stick aluminum. The second lesson learned - I'm using the disposable pans from Wal-Mart from now on!

How to anticipate your customer needs and solve them
You need a strategy (not a crystal ball) to predict what your customers want.
By Erin Hueffner, Content Marketing Manager, _USER_
Published September 18, 2020
Last updated October 20, 2020
People don't generally open their wallets to spend money without getting something in return. Even when making a donation, there's an incentive like feeling good or connecting to a cause. To be successful, businesses need to tap into unmet customer needs and offer solutions.
Sounds simple — but how do you actually find out what's on your customers' minds?
What are customer needs?
Customer needs are the psychological and physical motivations that make someone want to purchase a product or service.
Physical needs vs. psychological needs
Physical needs are usually easier to identify, because they're much more tangible. If you have a cold, you need cough syrup. If you're tired, you need to sleep. If you're hungry, you need to eat. This is why physical needs are at the bottom level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - in order for people to move up the pyramid, these basic needs must be met.
In business, the quality of your product or service is closely tied to your customers' physical needs. For example, a cafe guest is hungry and tired, so they need a scone and an espresso. Or, a shopper is cold in the wintry weather, and they stop into your store because they need a warm pair of mittens. These behaviors can be mapped to certain physical needs, but they're also intertwined with more complex psychological needs, like a feeling of belonging or an affinity to a particular brand.
Psychological needs come into play when there's an emotional reason behind the purchase. Once those basic physical needs are met, the reasons behind purchases become emotional. Any pair of shoes might be just fine to fulfill a physical need for clothing. But you know your favorite brand donates a pair for each one purchased, and that aligns with your personal values. It's probably cheaper to make your own coffee at home, but it would be more fun to run into Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
Impulse buying is an excellent example of a want becoming a need. Did you really need that fizzy bath bomb? Maybe. Or, maybe it just felt good in the moment — and you needed a little happiness boost. The point is, people are complex creatures, and so are their needs.
Psychological needs are a heavy factor when it comes to brand loyalty. According to the Zendesk Customer Experience Trends Report, 74% of customers feel loyal to a particular brand or company, and 52% of customers say they go out of their way to shop with their favorite brands. Understanding the link between loyalty and customer experience is vital. Loyalty is tied to a customer's ongoing choice to do business with you, refer others to you, and have a sense of a positive relationship with you. In today's competitive marketplace, good customer experience can drive success of a business.

Identifying customer needs
So how can you find out what your customers need? There are a few tried-and-true methods to consider.
Focus groups
A focus group is a group of deliberately chosen people who participate in a discussion on a specific topic. These groups are run by market research and are facilitated by a moderator to encourage everyone's active participation.
Focus groups are great for getting a sense for consumers' feelings and perceptions about your brand. They can also help you gather psychographic data — information about a person's values, interests, and attitudes, and what triggers them to act.
Customer surveys
Surveys are a traditional way to gather information from larger groups of people. Most surveys are in Q&A format to provide metrics. Millions of surveys are sent out each year, and are now mostly done online.
If you want to understand what current customers (or potential customers) think of your product or brand, a survey can help you glean these insights. But surveys are only as good as their design — it's crucial to be clear on what you want to know, how you word questions, who your demographic is, and how the survey is structured.
Social media listening
More and more businesses are seeing the importance of being present on social media for customer service. Data shows that your customers want to communicate with you in the same way they do with friends and family — and that often means social channels.
Connecting with customers on their preferred channel also helps to create a more meaningful relationship. And, it's an excellent way to hear real-time feedback from your customers about what they like (and what they don't). If you start to see the same questions or issues pop up over time, it's a good clue that you have a customer need to solve for.
Keyword research
The last time you were wondering where to find the best pair of hiking boots, what did you do? Most likely, you searched online for advice. That's what makes keyword research so important - it helps a business identify popular search terms and phrases people key into search engines. See where your company is ranking compared to competitors by doing an "incognito" search for your industry or product. If you aren't on the first page, you aren't as likely to be found by your customers. This is a crucial insight for small businesses and enterprises alike.
People look for different information depending on where they are in the customer journey. For example, "hiking boots" will turn up a much different search engine results page (SERP) than "hiking boots for women size 8." The first is a top-of-funnel informational search, whereas looking for a specific size indicates a greater intent to purchase. By investing some time in keyword research, you can optimize your website to rank higher in search results, and gain insights about what your customers are searching for.
"The experience matters at every moment in the customer journey, and customers will judge any impediment along the way. It's crucial to consider the experience from the customer's perspective to understand their needs."
Harry Wray, Customer Success Executive at Zendesk
Customer journey mapping
To meet your customers needs, you need to understand what they're looking for and what phase of the customer journey they're in, from discovery to purchase. Customer journey mapping is the process of creating a visual representation of your customers' interactions with your brand. It helps you see things from your customers' perspective, and gain insights about potential roadblocks and how to improve the experience.
"The experience matters at every moment in the customer journey, and customers will judge any impediment along the way," said Harry Wray, Customer Success Executive at Zendesk. "It's crucial to consider the experience from the customer's perspective to understand their needs."
Data shows that paying attention to customer experience is critical. According to the Zendesk Customer Experience Trends Report, roughly half of customers say they would switch to a competitor after just one bad experience. That number increases to 80% after more than one bad experience. To keep your customers happy and create loyalty, you need to optimize your CX. Customer journey mapping is a tool you can use to find ways to create those good experiences.
How to predict customer needs (and prepare to meet them)
Artificial Intelligence
You don't need a crystal ball to predict your customer needs - but you do need data. The good news is, your customers are creating and sharing more data with you than ever before. 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day. To put that number in perspective, it would take about 210,000 years for a quintillion gallons of water to go over Niagara Falls. It's a colossal amount of information. But most companies aren't using their customer data to make business decisions.
Predictive analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) use science to predict what might happen in the future — from what your customers need to the big trends. Netflix, for example, tailors watch lists for each subscriber based on their data profile — demographics, ratings, watch history and preferences influence what the algorithm will recommend. And, the focus on machine learning has proven to deliver results: about 80% of what's watched on Netflix is based on these AI-powered recommendations.
Shaking hands
Know your customers
This one might sound obvious, but how well do you actually know your customers? To make demand forecasting effective, you need to collect and integrate data about your customers, your offerings, and the triggers to purchase. Then you can create a buyer persona for each of your customer segments and plan marketing and product strategies for each.
This starts with the basics: demographic customer data like age, location, psychographic lifestyle and income. Previous purchases are often a good clue to what a customer will buy next. That data is usually easier to collect in online channels like in-app purchases or social media click throughs. It can be a bigger challenge to collect this data from offline channels — and this is where loyalty programs can be extremely helpful for tracking buying behavior.
On top of fostering a better customer relationship, loyalty programs can help businesses get to know their customers better. That, in turn, helps them create a better customer experience and the circle continues.
Know the buying patterns of your target customers
It's critical to understand context when you're trying to predict customer needs. How do your customers prefer to contact you? If you aren't present on their channel of choice (email, phone, social media, app) you are missing out on an opportunity. Other factors can affect customer demand — including the season, state of the economy, and even time of day. If your product is a quick impulse item like a candy bar, you'll plan for it differently than a long-lead luxury piece like a diamond ring. Understanding customer behavior and planning to meet

T-Mobile fined $40 million for using false ring tones on calls to rural areas6
Besides making the caller hang up thinking that no one was available to answer the phone, using the false ring tones also shielded T-Mobile from being blamed for not being able to connect the call. The FCC also noted that T-Mobile's problems with connecting calls made to rural areas could also prevent doctors from getting to their patients who live in these areas, and can hurt businesses that operate in rural surroundings. It can also prevent families from communicating and lead to delays in public safety communications.
T-Mobile admitted that it inserted the false ring tones, and failed to improve the delivery of calls to certain rural areas. As a result, it will cut a check made payable to the U.S. Treasury Department in the amount of $40 million, and will also begin a compliance plan.
The FCC has a website that is dedicated to issues arising from calls to rural areas. According to the site, these are the issues that cellphone users will experience when a call to a rural number is not going through:
- After you dial, you hear nothing or "dead air" for 10 seconds or more. If you stay on the line, the call may seem to be dropped or you may eventually hear a busy signal.
- After you dial, you hear as many as 10-20 rings even though you are reasonably sure someone should be there to answer or an answering machine should pick up.
- After you dial, you hear a recording such as "The number you have dialed is not in service" or "Your call cannot be completed as dialed" when you are sure that you've correctly dialed the number and the called phone is working.
If you experience any of the above when calling a rural number on your mobile handset, you should report the problem to the FCC.

1. The Importance of Reliable Connections in Military Applications
In military operations, maintaining reliable connections is paramount. A failure in communications or a faulty electrical connection can have dire consequences, jeopardizing the success of a mission or even putting lives at risk. Military connectors are specifically engineered to offer steadfast connectivity, ensuring that vital information and commands are transmitted without interruption.
2. Optimal Durability for Challenging Conditions
Military connectors are built to withstand the most challenging conditions. From dusty deserts to humid jungles and freezing arctic environments, these connectors are designed to function without fail. They are constructed using durable materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or rugged thermoplastics, making them resistant to corrosion, impact, and extreme temperature fluctuations. By ensuring optimal durability, military connectors provide uninterrupted connections in any situation.
3. Protection from Vibrations and Mechanical Stress
One of the key challenges faced by military equipment is high vibrations due to movement, vehicle operations, or heavy machinery. Military connectors are engineered to protect against vibrations and mechanical stress to maintain reliable connections. They feature advanced locking mechanisms, such as quick-release latches or threaded coupling systems, which securely hold the connector in place, preventing accidental disconnection.
4. Shielding Against EMI and EMP Interference
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) interference pose significant risks to military communication systems. EMI can occur from nearby equipment or power sources, while EMP can result from a nuclear explosion or a high-impact electromagnetic event. Military connectors are designed with effective shielding techniques to prevent these interferences from disrupting the signal transmission. They feature conductive grooves, shielding braids, or even fully metalized shells to provide maximum protection against EMI and EMP.
5. Waterproof and Submersible Connectors for Marine Operations

Military connectors designed for marine applications are sealed using specialized gaskets and o-rings to keep out moisture, saltwater, and other contaminants. These connectors can endure prolonged immersion without compromising their functionality, ensuring that critical connections remain secure in naval vessels or other waterborne military equipment.
In conclusion, military connectors are indispensable in ensuring secure and stable connections in various military applications. By withstanding extreme environments, protecting against interferences, and providing reliable connectivity, these connectors play a vital role in the success of military missions. Whether in rugged terrains, combat zones, or naval operations, military connectors provide the necessary durability and reliability to support soldiers and equipment and ensure uninterrupted communication..


Tirumazhisai Azhwar is one of the twelve azhwars (or alwar), a group of Vaishnava saints who sang devotional poems on Lord Vishnu. Those poems are collectively known as Naalayira Divya Prabhandham.
Tirumazhisai Alwar was the son of Bhrigu but raised by a childless tribal couple. He proclaimed that he doesn't belong to any of the four varnas (Avarna) i.e., Brahmin, Vaishya, Kshatriya and Shudra. But there was a couple of incidents other people saw him by the caste he was raised in.
As a part of his journey, Alwar was travelling to Thirukudanthai Sarangapani temple, Kumbhakonam which is also known as Aravamudhar Sannidhi. Alwar stopped at a verndah and sat down. A group of brahmins were reciting Vedas. Because they saw a person who is not a dwija, they stopped reciting (There is a smriti injunction that Vedas should not be chanted in front of a non dwija). Alwar noticed it and moved very distant from them. Later, the brahmins wanted to resume the chanting where they stopped. But they couldn't remember it and clueless. Alwar realised their cluelessness and turned back. He took a black grain, broke it with his nail and dropped it down. By this action, they took the hint and continued the chanting.
kṛṣṇānāṃ vrīhīnām nakhanirbhinnaṃ nakhanirbhinnaṃ
कृष्णानां व्रीहीणां नखनिर्भिन्नं नखनिर्भिन्नं
At this point, those brahmins understood the alwar knew the Vedas but he doesn't open his mouth. They asked for his pardon.
What is the meaning and context of the above verse Alwar hinted to the Brahmins? Where is this mantra located?
 - _USER_.NRAO Thanks for pointing out. Edited. – Sarvabhouma May 19 '19 at 6:09
Partial answer providing location of verse in scriptures and English translation for the same; Answer that provides interpretation explaining the meaning and significance/reason for sacrifice is awaited.
This is from Taittariya Samhita of Krishna Yajurveda:
1.8 प्रपाठक: 8 राजसूयः
1.8.9 अनुवाक 9
रत्निनां हवींषि
बार्हस्पत्यं चरुं निर् वपति ब्रह्मणो गृहे शितिपृष्ठो दक्षिणा । ऐन्द्रम् एकादशकपालम्̇ राजन्यस्य गृह ऋषभो दक्षिणा । आदित्यं चरुम् महिष्यै गृहे धेनुर् दक्षिणा नैर्ऋतं चरुम् परिवृक्त्य्àइ गृहे कृष्णानां व्रीहीणां नखनिर्भिन्नं कृष्णा कूटाँ दक्षिणा । आग्नेयम् अष्टाकपालम्̇ सेनान्यो गृहे हिरण्यं दक्षिणा वारुणं दशकपालम्̇ सूतस्य गृहे महानिरष्टो दक्षिणा मारुतम्̇ सप्तकपालं ग्रामण्यो गृहे पृश्निर् दक्षिणा सावित्रं द्वादशकपालम्
Here is the English translation:
The Rajasuya
8. The offerings to various deities
i. 8. 9.
To Brhaspati he offers an oblation in the house of the Brahman (priest); the sacrificial fee is a white-backed (animal). (He offers) to Indra on eleven potsherds in the house of a Rajanya; the sacrificial fee is a bull. To Aditya (he offers) an oblation in the house of the chief wife; the sacrificial fee is a cow. To Nirrti (he offers) an oblation in the house of the neglected wife, made up of rice broken by the nails; the sacrificial fee is a black hornless (cow). To Agni (he offers) on eight potsherds in the house of the leader of the host; the sacrificial fee is gold. To Varuna (he offers) on ten potsherds in the house of the minstrel; the sacrificial fee is a great castrated (ox). To the Maruts (he offers) on seven potsherds in the house of the village headman; the sacrificial fee is a dappled (cow). To Savitr (he offers) on twelve potsherds [1] in the house of the carver; the sacrificial fee is a speckled (ox).
Going through Sanskrit Dictionary,
 - It's commonly known that Kṛṣṇā means black.
 - Vrīhī means grain of rice.
 - nakha is the sanskrit word for nails and nirbhinna means broken/divided or pierced; so here "nakhanirbhinnaṃ" mean broken (or torn off) by the nails.
Thus, the action of breaking black grain of rice by nail would remind the verse of 8th Parapathaka of 1st Kanda of Taittariya Samhita.
P.S 8th Prapathaka of 1st Khanda is about Rajasuya and 9th Anuvaka is about offerings to various deities.
 - I'm aware that they were reminded of the verse that it is talking about breaking the black grain with nails. Velukkudi Krishnan swamy says that in his lecture youtu.be/r6OS4zpp68M?t=3084. I asked about the context and meaning of the verse i.e., why is the black grain talked about and why is it broken with nail etc., Is this related to some Yajna or wh etc., like that. The last paragraph is not relevant IMO. – Sarvabhouma May 19 '19 at 14:20

 Your questions is "What is meaning of verse?" and "Where is the mantra located?". I think the translation and dictionary meaning is clear and provided location from Vedas. Now if you want to know about ritual or sacrifice then it would be specific question e.g. what is significant of breaking rice in sacrifice. – Pandya May 19 '19 at 14:31

 Meaning is not just translation. By meaning, I mean interpretation/analysis behind the verse. We do not just copy paste translations. Do we? Dictionary meaning is already clear. I wanted the context what is spoken. Context means how and why it is spoken and the meaning (not translation) behind the verse. See the body. – Sarvabhouma May 19 '19 at 14:37
 - _USER_ ok. Btw, this is about offerings to various deities in Rajasuya. – Pandya May 19 '19 at 15:32

Saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, Ks, data collected by ponding infiltrometer methods and usual experimental procedures could be unusable for interpreting field hydrological processes and particularly rainfall infiltration. The Ks values determined by an infiltrometer experiment carried out by applying water at a relatively large distance from the soil surface could however be more appropriate to explain surface runoff generation phenomena during intense rainfall events. In this study, a link between rainfall simulation and ponding infiltrometer experiments was established for a sandy-loam soil. The height of water pouring for the infiltrometer run was chosen, establishing a similarity between the gravitational potential energy of the applied water, Ep, and the rainfall kinetic energy, Ek. To test the soundness of this procedure, the soil was sampled with the Beerkan estimation of soil transfer parameters procedure of soil hydraulic characterization and two heights of water pouring (0.03 m, i.e., usual procedure, and 0.34 m, yielding Ep = Ek). Then, a comparison between experimental steady-state infiltration rates, isR, measured with rainfall simulation experiments determining runoff production and Ks values for the two water pouring heights was carried out in order to discriminate between theoretically possible (isR ≥ Ks) and impossible (isR < Ks) situations. Physically possible Ks values were only obtained by applying water at a relatively large distance from the soil surface, because isR was equal to 20.0 mm h−1 and Ks values were 146.2–163.9 and 15.2–18.7 mm h−1 for a height of water pouring of 0.03 and 0.34 m, respectively. This result suggested the consistency between Beerkan runs with a high height of water pouring and rainfall simulator experiments. Soil compaction and mechanical aggregate breakdown were the most plausible physical mechanisms determining reduction of Ks with height. This study demonstrated that the height from which water is poured onto the soil surface is a key parameter in infiltrometer experiments and can be adapted to mimic the effect of high intensity rain on soil hydraulic properties.

- height of water application

This spring, a fascinating new exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery
will explore the versatile and beautiful drawing medium of red chalk. Comprising some 35 works from the Gallerys world-class collection, Red Chalk: Raphael to Ramsay will showcase a diverse range of exquisite drawings by distinguished artists, such as Peter Paul Rubens, Salvator Rosa, Jean-Antoine Watteau, Francois Boucher and David Allan. The display will feature works which, due to their delicate nature are rarely on show, as well as a number of drawings being exhibited for the first time.
Red chalk was first used for drawing on paper in late-15th century Italy. Chalk is a naturally occurring mineral, quarried directly from the earth then cut into drawing sticks which can be hand-held or chipped into a point and set into a holder. Drawing chalk can also be made, using ground up natural chalk mixed with water to form a paste then rolled into drawing sticks. This display will highlight the ways in which artists have, over the centuries, exploited the unique nature of red chalk to produce an array of dazzling and distinctive effects that cannot be achieved with any other drawing medium.
The earliest drawing on display, and a highlight of the show, will be Raphaels Study of a Kneeling Nude. This beautiful life-study was made in about 1518 and is a preparatory drawing for one of a series of Raphaels painted frescos. The delicately drawn figure reveals not only the artists phenomenal skill as a draughtsman, but also his meticulous preparation for each composition.
Rosas powerful and arresting mid-17th century drawing, Head of a Bearded Man, is a fantastic example of red chalk being used to produce a highly expressive finished drawing, intended as a piece of art in its own right. A sheet of figurative studies by the influential Baroque draughtsman Pompeo Girolamo Batoni (170887), reveals the incredible precision and control that can be achieved with red chalk, whilst Rubens Four Women Harvesting from c.1630 demonstrates how effectively chalk can be used for rapid sketching, with the simplest and most minimal strokes.
Red chalk experienced a surge in popularity with French artists in the 18th century. Drawings in the display by Watteau and Boucher will showcase how the medium was used by artists of the Rococo period to produce highly decorative and elegant drawings. Studies by Fragonard and Hubert will also provide superb examples of red chalk being chosen as a useful medium for highly evocative depictions of the landscape.
Other highlights will include a preparatory study by Guercino for his monumental oil painting of Erminia Finding the Wounded Tancred (currently displayed in the main gallery), and the Scottish portrait painter Allan Ramsays iconic drawing from 1776 of his second wife, Margaret Lindsay. The show will also include works by artists David Allan, William Delacour and Archibald Skirving to illustrate how the medium was adopted in Scotland.
Whether used to draw a detailed study from nature, a summary sketch or a highly polished finished drawing, red chalk is an enduringly popular, richly expressive and unique medium for draughtsmen. Red Chalk: Raphael to Ramsay will showcase the breadth and variety of the Gallerys drawings collection whilst providing a wonderful opportunity to see beautiful and accomplished drawings by a selection of our most admired artists.

The extract of the plant Corydalis yanhusuo prevents morphine tolerance and dependence while also reversing opiate addiction, research in animals indicates.
The findings appear in the journal Pharmaceuticals.
Over the past two decades, dramatic increases in opioid overdose mortality have occurred in the United States and other nations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation has only worsened. The documented effects of YHS, the extract of the plant Corydalis yanhusuo, could have an immediate, positive impact, say researchers.
"It is critical that we decrease the use and abuse of opiates," says Olivier Civelli, professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and corresponding author of the paper.
"To help achieve this goal, we are proposing the use of this therapeutic plant. When used in animals, the Corydalis extract prevents pain and the negative effects of opiate use. The next step would be to test it with humans."
The findings show that YHS, when co-administered with morphine, inhibits morphine tolerance, dependence, and addiction. If YHS is used with morphine at the start or during pain management, there will be less need for morphine and so less risk of addiction.
"Opiate tolerance is of utmost importance to opiate users," Civelli says. "They need to constantly increase the need of opiates to reach the same analgesic response. This is what leads to opiate overdose. YHS prevents opiate tolerance, so there is less need to increase opiate consumption."
YHS has been used as analgesic in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It's considered safe and readily available for purchase, either online or as a "botanical" in certain grocery stores.
Coauthors of the study are from UC Irvine and the Jordan University of Science and Technology.

SILVER SPRING, Md. – Twice a year, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' (AZA) independent Accreditation Commission holds post-inspection hearings on accreditation applications from the best aquariums, nature centers, science centers, and zoos in the world. Most recently, the Commission conducted 27 accreditation and two certification hearings during the AZA Mid-Year Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. As a result of these rigorous assessments, AZA proudly announces the accreditation of the following, including three new facilities:
AZA also granted certification to two certified-related facilities: the Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center in Louisiana and Natural Encounters, Inc.in Florida. The certification process is equivalent to the accreditation process but recognizes excellence in non- commercial wildlife-holding facilities that are not open to the public on a regular basis.
"Fewer than ten percent of zoos and aquariums licensed federally by USDA have also achieved AZA accreditation," said AZA Accreditation Commission Chair Jeff Wyatt. "The about 200 million guests that visit AZA-accredited facilities each year can be certain they are supporting facilities dedicated to superior animal care, meaningful guest education, and impactful wildlife conservation."
AZA requires facilities to complete this rigorous accreditation process every five years to be members of the Association. The accreditation process includes a detailed application and a meticulous on-site multi-day inspection by an independent team of trained zoological professionals. The inspecting team observes all aspects of the facility's operation, including animal welfare and well-being; veterinary care; keeper training; safety for visitors, staff, and animals; educational programs; conservation efforts; financial stability; risk management; guest services. Detailed reports from the inspection team and the facility alike are then thoroughly evaluated by the Accreditation Commission. Finally, top officials are interviewed in person by the Commission at a formal hearing, after which accreditation is granted, tabled, or denied.
"AZA's independent commission accredits only the world's highest-achieving aquariums and zoos that have met or surpassed our rigorous, ever-improving standards," said Dan Ashe, President and CEO of AZA. "AZA-accredited facilities embody AZA's mission of protecting wildlife and wild places by providing expert care to hundreds of thousands of animals, educating millions of guests, and contributing over $200 million to field conservation efforts each year. I am proud to welcome these facilities and their staffs to our community of animal heroes."
Over the past ten years, the Commission has accredited 254 facilities, with many being successfully accredited twice during that time span.
There are currently 236 AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and 15 AZA-certified related facility members throughout the U.S. and in 10 other countries.
The Commission will next hold hearings to review accreditation applications in Fall 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana. For a full list of facilities applying for AZA accreditation, please visit _URL_ For a complete list of currently accredited AZA-facilities, please visit _URL_
Founded in 1924, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of zoos and aquariums in the areas of conservation, animal welfare, education, science, and recreation. AZA is the accrediting body for the top zoos and aquariums in the United States and 10 other countries.

Dynamic Content List (DCL): Explanation of the major options
The following document provides an explanation of the major option sections available in a Dynamic Content List (DCL).
Source settings
The Source settings allow you to specify the types of content you wish to retrieve and how they should be rendered on the page. For example, you could have a list of News Article nodes rendered with the View mode "Teaser", which would display a list of news titles with summaries.
Filters
The Filters tell the DCL to only fetch the content that meets the criteria specified. For example, you could set this to a single taxonomy term and it would retrieve only the content that is tagged to that term. You could also use "Title (Starts with)" to limit the results to those with titles that start with a specific letter.
Sorters
The Sorters allow you to manage the order in which the content is displayed. Common sorting methods include "Field (Alphabetical)", "Title (Alphabetical)", and "Field (Date)".
If you wish to manually manage the order of the content in your list, select the method "Nodequeue Order". You will then need to specify a Queue and a Subqueue. These will usually be "Content Group Queue" and a taxonomy term that you have previously created. You can then read the article Working with nodequeues for details on how to manage content in a nodequeue.
Categorizers
Categorizers allow you to add categories that users can click on to filter their results. In the example of an A-Z listing below, the top region uses the categorizing method "Title (A-Z)", which adds all of the letters of the alphabet, while the right side uses "Field (Taxonomy Reference)", which displays a list of specific taxonomy terms that can be used to refine the results.
Example of DCL categorizers
Groupers
Groupers allow you to divide your list of content into sections with headings. In an A-Z listing (first image below), setting the grouping method to "Title (A-Z)" or "Field (Text)" is what adds the letters as subheadings. In a list of News Articles (second image below), the grouping method "Field (Date)" allows you to display the years or even months as subheadings. Another common grouping method is "Field (Taxonomy Reference)"; this one allows you to display taxonomy terms as subheadings, as is used in the Editors section of this site.
Two examples of groupers in a DCL
Pager
The Pager section allows you to limit to the number of results displayed on a page. By default, the pager is set to unlimited; however, if a limit is set, the DCL will begin paginating the results at the bottom of the list. The pager can also be set to hidden, if desired.

mofette, ( French: "noxious fume") , also spelled moffettefumarole, or gaseous volcanic vent, that has a temperature well below the boiling point of water, though above the temperature of the surrounding air, and that is generally rich in carbon dioxide and perhaps methane and other hydrocarbons. When the winds are right, the issuing gases may drift and settle into nearby hollows or small valleys and cause the asphyxiation of animals and birds wandering in the areas. Such potentially deadly hollows have been noted in the Absaroka Range near Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, U.S., and at the base of Iceland's Hekla volcano.

The physics of laser-plasma interactions has undergone dramatic improvements in recent years. By directing a multi-TW, ultrashort laser pulse onto a thin foil or a gas jet, it is nowadays possible to produce multi-MeV proton, ion and electron beams. Although much progress has been made in characterizing and improving the quality of such laser-generated beams, it is still an untouched issue whether the laser-generated beams are or can be spin polarized and, thus, whether laser-based polarized sources are conceivable. To this end, one may either think of a spatial selection of certain spin states through the huge magnetic field gradients that are inherently generated in the laser-generated plasmas, or of pre-polarized target particles which maintain their polarization during the rapid acceleration process. We have developed a method to measure the degree of polarization of protons that have been accelerated at the 300 TW laser facility ARCturus at Dusseldorf University.

RFC: Remove preg_replace /e modifier
 - Version: 1.0
 - Date: 2012-02-04
 - Author: Nikita Popov _EMAIL_
 - Status: Implemented
This RFC aims at deprecating and subsequently removing the /e modifier (PREG_REPLACE_EVAL) that preg_replace provides.
What does the /e modifier do?
Quoting the PHP manual:
If this modifier is set, preg_replace() does normal substitution of backreferences in the replacement string,
evaluates it as PHP code, and uses the result for replacing the search string. Single quotes, double quotes,
backslashes (\) and NULL chars will be escaped by backslashes in substituted backreferences.
$code = preg_replace('((.*?))e', '"". strtoupper("$2"). ""', $code); // uppercases headings
There are several serious issues with the /e modifier:
Security issues
As /e evaluates arbitrary PHP code it can easily be exploited if user input is not carefully validated or sanitized.
For example the above example can be used to execute arbitrary PHP code by passing the string {${eval($_GET[php_code])}}. The evaluted code in this case would be "". strtoupper("{${eval($_GET[php_code])}}"). "" and as such execute any PHP code passed in the php_code GET variable.
An example of a larger project which suffered from such a code injection vulnerability is RoundCube (see this changeset).
A both more secure and cleaner approach is the use of preg_replace_callback:
 function ($m) {
 return "". strtoupper($m[2]). "";
When passing the above exploit code ({${eval($_GET[php_code])}}) into this function the result will just be {${EVAL($_GET[PHP_CODE])}} and no code will be executed.
But we don't remove eval() either, do we?
The use of the /e modifier is not comparable to the use of eval(). *Any* use of /e can be replaced with a safer and cleaner use of preg_replace_callback. eval() on the other hand has *some* valid use cases which can not be implemented in any other (sane) way.
Additionally it is much easier to create a vunerability with /e than it is with eval. Firstly many people don't understand PCRE well enough to distinguish whether a use of /e is safe or not. But more importantly the fact that addslashes() is applied to all substituted backreferences creates a false feeling of security (as seen above it can be easily circumvented.)
Overescaping of quotes
The application of addslashes on all substituted backreferences not only isn't helping security, but additionally also results in unexpected behavior when the input contains quotes:
addslashes always escapes both quote types, but only one of them needs escaping (e.g. in double quoted strings only " should be escaped and in single quoted strings only'should be escaped). This will result in one of the quote types to be overescaped. E.g. if Hallo 'World' is passed into the above function the result would be HALLO \'WORLD\' (note the additional backslashes).
This behavior makes /e unusable in many cases (or people just use it anyways, without knowing that it is broken).
Use as obfuscation in exploit scripts
Various exploit scripts use the /e modifier to obfuscate their intention. Some examples from a quick SO search:
This obfuscation hides scripts from grep-like searches (as preg_replace is usually considered a "good" function). Additionally - as you can see in the second link - it is possible to obfuscate the use of the /e modifier itself, making it even harder to find.
Obviously the use by exploit scripts is not bad per se (most exploit scripts also use echo and we better keep that), so don't put too much weight on this argument ;)
The /e modifier has little to no valid uses but imposes a rather big security risk. As it can in any case be replaced by a callback there would be no loss in functionality.
The vote ended with 23 in favor and 4 against the proposal.
Current state
The /e modifier has been deprecated in trunk in _URL_ It will be removed at some later point in time.

Estimating the Effects of Pharmaceutical Innovations on Patients' Employment Outcomes
Publication Date: September 2003
Publisher(s): Pardee Rand Graduate School
Author(s): Yuhua Bao
In recent years, advances in medical technologies have been a major source of the increasing cost of health care in the United States. Society and policymakers must increasingly make hard choices when allocating limited resources among competing uses, and evaluating the benefits and costs of new technologies is becoming more urgent. However, current approaches to evaluating the benefits of medical technologies often ignore employment-related benefits, thus undervaluing interventions that improve functioning and productivity among the working-age population. This dissertation reviews evidence of employment-related benefits resulting from effective treatment. The author developed a model showing that the observed incremental labor supply is a result both of more-effective treatment and of other factors such as eligibility for employment-based or public health insurance, both of which are tied to employment status. She then conducted two empirical studies to estimate the employment effects of treatment-one on the effect of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy on HIV patients' employment transitions, the other on the effect of recent improvements in pharmacological therapies for hypertension. The author concludes that when translating estimated employment effects into employment-related benefits, one must be aware of possible labor market adjustments associated with the change and base the analysis on labor market equilibria.

The Fortress of Sant'Angelo on Mons Spatula was founded, near the Church of St. Michael Archangelo, in the second half of the 12th century, by the powerful Roman senator Giovanni Capocci (from where the name St. Angelo in Capoccia derives). The Fortress was passed down the generations following the laws of primogeniture until 1370 when Perna Capocci married Ugo Orsini and the fief of Sant'Angelo with all its possessions became property of the Orsini family.
The last Orsini to possess it was Giordano di Napoleone and at his death (early 1500s) the Fortress was ceded to the Apostolic Camera.
Around 1590, the fief of Sant'Angelo was bought by Bartholomew and Federico Cesi, uncle and father of Federico who founded the Academia dei Lincei, thereby bringing the entire Sabine-Cornicolano territory into the family's hands.
During the second half of the 17th century, the fief of Sant'Angelo was sold to the Borghese family to pay off debts, as were all the other Cesi possessions in the area. Once a local governor had been named, they lost interest in the Fortress and in just a few years its original function as a deposit for the grain produced by the family's territories had been forgotten.

Software design involves translating a set of task requirements into a structured description of a computer program that will perform the task. A software designer can use design schema, collaborative design knowledge, or can reuse design artifacts. Very little has been done to include reuse of design artifacts in the software development life cycle, despite tremendous promises of reuse. As a result, this technique has not seen widespread use, possibly due to a lack of cognitive understanding of the reuse process. This research explores the role of a specific cognitive aspect, opportunism, in demand-side software reuse. We propose a cognitive model based on opportunism that describes the software design process with reuse. Protocol analysis verifies that the software design with reuse is indeed opportunistic and reveals that some software designers employ certain tasks of the reuse process frequently. Based on these findings, we propose a reuse support system that incorporates blackboard technology and existing reuse library management system

text: The rain sensor activates the windshield wipers automatically when rain or other moisture appears on the windshield, and adapts the wiper interval to match the amount of rain. How it works: light-emitting diodes inside the rain sensor emit an invisible infrared light which is reflected by the outside surface of the windscreen and measured by photodiodes. If the full amount of light returns to the photodiode, the windshield is dry. A film of water or drops on the windscreen break up the light emitted. As the measuring process is permanent, the electronics can control the wiper intervals perfectly.


%A Karl Branting %A Bruce Porter %T Rules and Precedents as Complementary Warrants %J AAAI-91 %P 3-9 %D 1991 %I AAAI/MIT Press %X This paper describes a model of the complementarity of rules and precedents in the classification task. Under this model, precedents assist rule-based reasoning by operationalizing abstract rule antecedents. Conversely, rules assist case-based reasoning through case elaboration, the process of inferring case facts in order to increase the similarity between cases, and term reformulation, the process of relacing a term whose precedents only weakly match a case with terms whose precedents strongly match the case. Fully exploiting this complementarity requires a control strategy characterized by impartiality, the absence of arbitrary ordering restrictions on the use of rules and precedents. An impartial control startegy was implemented in GREBE in the domain of Texas worker's compensation law. In a preliminary evaluation, GREBE's performance was found to be as good or slightly better than the performance of law students on the same task. %X _URL_
