The GREEN Revolution
GEN200 Control is a new revolutionary product that ensures optimal growth and flowering result with plants; it even prevents diseases.
GEN200 Control contains the only really patented absorbing form of Orthosilicic acid (OSA) = 2,4 % for plants. It is especially effective as far as plant structure, plant physiology and protection against diseases and insects are concerned.
Your plants will take root more quickly, develop stronger stems and leaves, resulting in an abundantly clear improvement of photosynthesis. Moreover GEN200 Control realizes a positive effect on the absorption of phosphorus, which in turn results in bigger flowers / fruit. You will be amazed!
What is GEN200 Control?
GEN200 Control is a beneficial, catalytic nutrient which enhances crop output. This European technology based and patented product by prof. D. Vanden Berghe contains a bio-available form of silica that provides crops with a host of benefits. The active water-soluble GEN200 Control when applied through foliar spray works on the entire plant system not only making the plant healthier but also improving yield and quality of produce. Moreover it ensures that your crop gets improved strength and resistance to ward off various diseases and insects.
Farmers can now save money due to lesser usage of insecticides, fungicides and pesticides with the use of GEN200 Control. Higher yield and better quality of produce with increased shelf life due to lesser water loss in fruits and vegetables is another distinct advantage.
Powered by the goodness of its bio-active ingredients, GEN200 Control not just reduces abiotic stresses but also acts as a stimulant that improves germination in salt stress and water stress conditions. Crops that grow with GEN200 Control care develop higher percentage of chlorophyll in their system. This means superior bio synthesis leading to increased foliage, flowering and fruit setting.
Why is GEN200 Control essential?
Crops require a combination of nutrients for optimal growth. However, if any one of those nutrients is deficient, plant growth will be poor even if other nutrients are in excess. Silica is a highly deficient nutrient in Agriculture today! The key to overcoming this deficiency is making silica bio-available to the plant. Unlike traditional silica fertilizers, GEN200 Control contains 1000 times more active water-soluble, bio-available silica restoring nutrient balance to plant and help superior utilization of other nutrients and thus increase crop efficiency.
Why is GEN200 Control better?
As you can see in the table below, GEN200 is non-poisonous and you need less of the product in comparing to other products.

Němčice and Pistiros: Glass Beads as Historical Markers in the Third Century BC
Languages of publication
The largest known collection of La Tène glass from Němčice in Moravia dating to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC also includes glass beads originating in southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean. As in Pistiros, the beads could have been related to the same events of a military, trade or other nature. The relative scarcity of imported beads in Němčice is explained by the glass‑working activities at this site, which covered the needs of the local population.

Grungni is one of the ancestor gods, said to be carved by time from the rocks of the first mountains. In Dwarven legend, he led the Dwarfs away from the increasing perils of the upper world and into the safety of the earth. He is generally portrayed as a male Dwarf clad all in chainmail, with a forked iron-gray beard reaching almost to his feet.
Dwarfs consider Grungni to be the most important of all gods, for it was he who first discovered the knowledge of mining and smelting ores, which he then passed on to the earliest Dwarfs. He is credited with inventing iron and steel, so enabling the Dwarfs to destroy their foes with superior weaponry. Grungni is worshiped most by the miners, smiths and engineers who work the rock and metal of the mountains and his greatest shrine is in the hold of Karak Azul, which is famous for its excellent armories and weaponsmiths.

TAS Safety Valve - For use with stove back boiler and un-vented hot water
Add item to basket
The TAS Valve is a mechanical flush valve, which is designed to be used with multi-fuel back boiler stoves that are equipped with a cooling coil / heat exchanger within the back boiler. Some back boiler stoves are designed specifically for use with un-vented hot water and are equipped with a seperate cooling coil that runs within the back boiler of the stove. The TAS safety valve is connected in line on a main cold water feed, which is plumbed to the cooling coil within the back boiler of a multi-fuel stove. The TAS valve then monitors the temperature of the water in the back boiler will and automatically open to release a flush of cold water in to the back boiler when the water temperature within the boiler exceeds 97 degrees.
The TAS safety valve is primarily designed to be used where an un-controlled heat source, such as a multi-fuel stove, is used to heat hot water in a sealed / un-vented hot water system. A multi-fuel stove is classed as an uncontrollable heat source because it cannot be turned on, or off, like a gas or oil fired boiler and therefore the stove has the potential to heat the water in an un-controlled fashion. In an un-vented hot water system this can lead to excessive pressure, which if left un-controlled can cause damage to the plumbing and the stove.
In order to utilise the TAS safety valve the stove requires a mains cold water feed to be piped to the back boiler within the stove and also a further drain off pipe to be piped from the back boiler to an outside drain for the purpose of expelling the mains cold water.
The TAS valve is designed to be installed within 1 metre of the stove, and is fitted in-line, on a mains cold water feed (15mm pipe). The TAS valve is equipped with a temperature probe which is attached from the TAS valve to the stove by a thermocouple wire which measures 1300mm in length. The Temperature probe monitors the temperature of the hot water within the back boiler and when the water within the back boiler reaches 97 degrees, the TAS safety valve will automatically open to release a flush of cold water in to the cooling coil within the back boiler. As the cold water flows through the cooling coil in the back boiler, the cold water absorbs the heat and thus cools the surrounding main body of water.
NOTE, the cold water that is released by the TAS valve does not contaminate, or come in to contact with the main body of water, since it flows through a separate cooling coil within the back boiler. Once the cold water has flowed through the back boiler cooling coil it is discharged to an outside drain.
Open Vented Hot Water: The TAS safety valve can also be used in conjunction with an open vented hot water system, where there is a chance of the water boiling or overheating, and where there is no heat dump present. Typically this can cause a symptom known as kettling, where the water can be heard boiling within the back boiler. In this scenario the TAS valve can be used to introduce mains cold water in to the flow pipe from the back boiler, in order to blend cold water with the hot water. The additional water will then discharge through the overflow on the header tank.
Back Boiler Stoves Suitable For Use With Un-Vented Hot Water: We sell a range of back boiler stoves and cookers that are designed to be used with un-vented hot water. They are manufactured to operate at 2 bar working pressure and are equipped with a cooling coil that runs within the main back boiler. The stoves models are as follows: Condor Cooker BO - Apollo BO - Marinela BO - iStove Lux BO - Titan with back boiler - Mercury Back Boiler - Mercury Hex Back Boiler- Magenta BO.
Some of the stoves with back boiler in our product range have an automatic air vent which also monitors the temperature of the water within the back boiler, and when the water reaches 96 degrees, the primary air vent will automatically close, thus starving the fire of air and reducing the heat output.
The thermal safety is valve required for temperature protection in closed hot water heating systems up to a maximum 93 KW = 80 000 kcal / h, in conjunction with a multi-fuel stove with back boiler.
The boiler must be installed with a hot water heaters ora safety heat exchanger must be equipped.
The TAS safety valve is a pressure independent valve, which opens when the water temperature within the back boiler of the stove reaches 97 ° C.
The internal sealing piston / valve is driven centrally thus preventing the risk of jamming / stalling.
No housing parts are made of plastic, and are therefore resistance to high temperatures.
Suitable for temperatures of up to 125 ° C
Maintenance - the sealing piston / valve is designed to be replaced periodically to ensure reliability.
PLEASE NOTE: PRESSURISED HOT WATER CAN BE DANGEROUS.
NEVER USE SOLDER JOINTS ON PLUMBING PIPEWORK WITHIN 3 METRES OF A STOVE. YOU MUST USE BRASS COMPRESSION FITTINGS FOR ANY JOINTS OR FITTINGS.
ALWAYS FIT AT LEAST ONE EXPANSION SAFETY VESSEL TO EACH CLOSED LOOP OF PIPEWORK (Min 25 LTR)
ALWAYS FIT AT LEAST 2 SAFETY BLOW OFF VALVES TO EACH CLOSED LOOP OF PIPEWORK, PLEASE DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO ONLY FIT 1, AS THE SECOND SHOULD BE FITTED AS A BACKUP. NB. IN AREAS WHERE THE MAINS COLD WATER CONTAINS HIGH A MINERAL CONTENT, THE SAFETY BLOW OFF VALVES SHOULD BE SERVICED OR REPLACED AT LEAST EVERY 18 MONTHS - 2 YEARS.

June 10, 2008 Researchers in Sweden and Japan report development of a new type of paper that resists breaking when pulled almost as well as cast iron. The new material, called "cellulose nanopaper," is made of sub-microscopic particles of cellulose and may open the way for expanded use of paper as a construction material and in other applications, they suggest.
In the new study, Lars A. Berglund and colleagues note that cellulose -- a tough, widely available substance obtained from plants -- has potential as a strong, lightweight ingredient in composites and other materials in a wide range of products. Although cellulose-based composites have high strength, existing materials are brittle and snap easily when pulled.
The study described a solution to this problem. It involves exposing wood pulp to certain chemicals to produce cellulose nanopaper. Their study found that its tensile strength -- a material's ability to resist pull before snapping -- exceeded that of cast iron. They also were able to adjust the paper's strength by changing its internal structure.

Rafael Cepeda was born July 10, 1910, in Santurce, Puerto Rico. Following the examples of his ancestors, Cepeda learned about Afro-Puerto Rican musical traditions at an early age. "My great-grandfather was an expert in bomba and plena," he said. "He was from Dulces Labios, in Mayagüez. With the bomba and the plena, he arrived to Ponce and fell in love. Then my grandfather followed in the same path. And afterwards, my father. Shortly thereafter, my mother appeared in a bomba dance."
The bomba grew out of the colonial African slave experience. In its style of drumming, singing, and improvisational dancing, it resembles several other West African-derived forms of music and dance in the New World. The plena emerged as a local popular music during the last decades of the nineteenth century. Bomba and plena have become potent symbols of Puerto Rican identity. Since the 1930s, they have spread from their birthplace on the island's sugarcane plantations and coastal villages to urban centers in Puerto Rico and abroad.
For more than 50 years, Cepeda was one of the foremost performers of the bomba and plena. He created more than 600 original compositions, many of which appear on commercial recordings and have attained widespread international popularity. With his wife, Doña Caridad Brenes de Cepeda, herself a great traditional dancer, their three daughters, and eight sons, Cepeda formed the performing ensemble La Familia Cepeda, initiating a revival of bomba and plena. They toured extensively in the United States and Europe, and for many years dedicated themselves to promoting the unique musical traditions of their homeland. There is probably no town in Puerto Rico in which they have not performed their music and dance.

From Scott Carlberg
Think back about one year. Here was the headline: "Duke Energy wants you to conserve electricity during cold snap." It was just more than a year ago that Duke set a single-day record for electric demand (January 5).
We have not had anything like it yet this season, but it could be just around the corner. So, get ready. Who knows?
A year ago Duke expected demand to be perhaps 25 percent higher than normal. That affects customers. A fifth of energy is used in the residential sector. Buildings differ how well they hold heat, with anywhere up to 40 percent of heat sometimes leaked outside. The cost for that cold weather falls hard on people in older homes that may not have the energy efficiency of newer homes. (Source) So, a year ago Duke asked customers to conserve electricity to ease stress on the grid and generating facilities.
Carolina electric companies have advice about ways to save when the weather turns cold. Duke has helpful advice about weatherization. SCE&G, now Dominion-owned Southeast Energy Group. has energy-saving tips. These include reminders to check and clean air filters in heating systems for efficiency. The NC Electric Cooperatives take a look at outages and safety tips. Even the Accuweather people have advice about surviving a wintertime outage, noting that, "Carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and electric shock are hazards during an outage. Place generators away from doors, windows and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors."
Cold and snow can stress the electric system. Ice weighs-down power lines and can cause an outage. Tree branches covered with ice can snap and take down lines. Additionally, in cold weather electric customers run heating equipment all-out, adding stress. If we have severe cold weather and power lines are affected, Duke Energy has good safety advice: "Stay away from downed or sagging power lines, and do not touch anything that is on or near a power line (i.e., trees or tree limbs, cars, ladders)."
So, far there has been lots of rain, record rain in some areas. Some of the mountain areas had snow this season, but they are prepped for snow. January is the snowiest month of the year in the Carolinas. Coldest, too.
Be prepared, we are only part way through the month. Remember a year ago!

A Nottingham professor has turned his passion for physics and science interaction into his initial ebook, devoted to a close friend who encouraged him.
"Amazing Quantities and Where to Discover Them" is published by foremost theoretical physicist and YouTube star, Professor Antonio (Tony) Padilla and will take viewers on an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most amazing figures in physics.
Tony explains in which he bought the inspiration to compose his first book: "When my ideal mate grew to become ill with cancer, we started supplying public lectures about fantastic quantities and cutting-edge physics to raise income for him to get treatment overseas. We managed to raise £200,000 and it was while providing these talks I realized the content material would actually make a truly fantastic book, so I begun to just take the plan a lot more severely. So, when I was approached by a publisher I had no hesitation in starting up composing. Regrettably, my mate never ever produced it in the end—He was an unbelievable bloke who we all miss out on genuinely terribly. The e book is for him."
Combining cutting-edge science with an entertaining cosmic quest, Great Numbers and In which to Discover Them is an electrifying, head-twisting guide to the most fundamental truths of the universe. It reveals how unconventional figures are the vital to unlocking this kind of intellect-bending phenomena as black holes, entropy and the dilemma of the cosmological consistent, which exhibits that our two best techniques of comprehension the universe contradict just one an additional.
In the book Tony handles the idea of Graham's variety, which is so substantial that if you imagined about it in the incorrect way, your head would collapse into a black hole TREE(3), whose finite worth could under no circumstances be reached ahead of the universe reset alone and 10-120, which measures the desperately unlikely harmony of energy the universe desires to exist.
"I beloved writing this e book," proceeds Tony, "When I make films for numberphile or sixty symbols, I put in a fair amount of time hoping to feel of techniques to explain some of the thoughts in a actually available way. This was an extension of that truly. The e book is really about how the most serious physics can carry numbers and mathematics to life—how it can give it character. I genuinely hope this book tickles the reader's imagination."

ALA News: ULIS launches 80x80 pixel Micro80 Gen2 thermal sensor aimed at large-volume applications. It features novel packaging solutions by being the first Ball Grid Array (BGA) infrared sensor box packaged in a JEDEC tray. It is designed using a Unique Wafer Level Packaging (UWLP) with vacuum technology; this allows it to support optical fields of up to 120°. It is the first infrared sensor with a unique plastic lens holder, eliminating the need for the user to develop its own, thus saving time and lowering costs.
The new Micro80 Gen2 consumes less than 55mW. This further extends the battery life and the operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), while being more compact and lighter than earlier models. It supports a broad spectrum of frame rates (from 1Hz to 50 Hz) and allows vision up to 150 meters.
"These new and improved features of the Micro80 Gen2 address the needs of large-volume production processes. This means that it is not only ideal for the small-resolution thermography and short-distance surveillance markets, but can also open up new industries for ULIS," said Cyrille Trouilleau, product manager at ULIS. "The introduction of these novel characteristics is the first step towards the widespread use of thermal sensors in smart building management systems."

Science Fair Project Encyclopedia
Jannat al-Baqi (also spelt Jannat ul-Baqi) is a famous cemetery in Madinah, located right across from the Masjid al-Nabawi. It is well known since many of Muhammad's relatives and companions are buried here, and due to its sanctity. Its name means "Tree Garden of Heaven". Many traditions relate Muhammad issuing a prayer everytime he passed the cemetery.
Prior to the twentieth century, many of the graves were covered with domes or other structures. However, after the city of Madinah was taken by the forces of Ibn Saud, many of these buildings and tombs were destroyed, in order to keep with the Wahhabi ideal of not worshipping graves. Thus, the graveyard is now no more than a vast lot with some crude headstones made of rocks. Despite this, the graves of many historic figures continue to be visited by numerous pilgrims. Burials continue at the cemetery to this day as well.
People Buried at Jannat al-Baqi
- Muhammad's son Ibrahim who died in infancy
- Fatima Zahra, Muhammad's daughter
- Many of Muhammad's aunts
- Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib, uncle of Muhammad
- Hasan ibn Ali, grandson of Muhammad and Shia Imam
- Ali ibn Husayn, great-grandson of Muhammad, and Shia Imam
- Muhammad al-Baqir, Shia Imam
- Jafar Sadiq, Islamic jurist and Shia Imam
- Malik ibn Anas, Islamic jurist
- Imam Shamil, Chechen leader

Sandinistas co-founder Tomas Borge dies in Nicaragua
The last surviving founder of the left-wing Sandinista movement in Nicaragua, Tomas Borge, has died aged 81.
Borge helped to create the Sandinista National Liberation Front in 1961.
In 1979, the Sandinista revolution overthrew dictator Anastasio Somoza and Borge served as interior minister in the new government of Daniel Ortega.
US President Ronald Reagan saw the revolutionaries as a threat and backed the right-wing Contras in the civil war that followed.
An estimated 30,000 people died in the fighting which lasted a decade and wrecked the country's economy.'Transcendental figure'
Borge was born into a poor family and dedicated himself to the struggle against the Somoza family, which had run Nicaragua for 40 years.
He received military training in Cuba before he helped to found the Sandinista movement.
The organisation was named after Augusto Cesar Sandino, who fought against US intervention in Nicaragua in the 1930s.
Borge became the powerful interior minister in the Ortega government of the 1980s, where he imposed censorship on the media and was accused of human rights violations.
However, he denied accusations that he was responsible for expelling and harassing clergymen during the war.
The Sandinistas were voted out of power in 1990.
Congressman Jacinto Suarez was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying Borge was "a transcendental figure in Nicaraguan history".
But the news agency also quoted Nicaraguan writer Gioconda Belli, who said of Borge's later life: "After 1990, I have the sense he gave up his revolutionary ideas... He ended up a tragic-comic figure".
Borge's final years saw Daniel Ortega return to government - he won presidential elections in 2006 and again in 2011.
Borge was admitted to hospital earlier this month for a lung infection and underwent surgery.


What is a Gum Lift?
gum lifts cosmetic dentist in boca raton
"Gum Lift" was coined as a term in 1989 by Dr. Parsa Zadeh in order to describe the surgical procedure that is most often performed in an effort to reduce the appearance of a "gummy smile". This is a procedure that is performed as an outpatient surgery. Technically speaking, a gum lift is a crown lengthening through apically positioned muco periosteal flap as well as well as osseous recontouring. Simply stated, when the existing gum becomes separated from the underlying bone, the additional bone is trimmed and the gum tissue is placed back and stitched at a higher level. The result of this procedure is stable, biologically, and an acceptable proportion of the bone and gum become far less visible.
Is the Excess Gum Tissue Cut off?
A gum lift is a procedure that is completely different from a gingivectomy or the cutting off of excess gum tissue. A gingivectomy is able to be achieved via either if the following: surgical knife, radio-surgery or a laser. You will need to note that the cutting off of the gum edge while retaining useful indication is very limited in regards to what it is able to achieve. When the biological restriction are violated, the gum will either develop a permanent state of gingivitis or the gum will regrow. The singular option for permanent and stable improvement of the underlying bone is the proper reduction of the bone itself' a gum lift.
Is it Painful?
The procedure itself will last an average of 2 to 3 hours and can be done under a local anesthetic. There are dentists that, due to the fact that a local will not make the procedure painless, will utilize some degree of sedation. Given that a gum lift is a minor surgery, it is accompanied by all of the same delicacies, limitations and discomforts of any other wound that your body would encounter.
Post-surgery, you will (typically) be prescribed two types of pain medications that can be taken as needed for comfort. The vast majority of patients that have undergone such a procedure have reported that they have experienced a level of numbness on the site of the operation as opposed to pain. The most of the discomfort that is felt is derived from the swelling within the area as opposed to the actual wound.
Recovery Time
Generally, recovery will take upwards of ten days. This recovery time can be extended should you not follow the express instructions provided by the dentist.
How Many Visits Do the Gum Lift Take?
A gum lift is completed within a single visit. Most dentists will want to see you for a follow-up within a few days of the procedure. During this secondary visit, the doctor will check to ensure that the tissues are properly holding up.
Are Stitches Involved?
You will have stitches that will need to be removed after six days. There is the option of having resorbable stitches used, that will not require removal by a dental professional.
Possible Complications
There are basically zero complications associated with this procedure. Should you follow the instructions provided by the doctor, properly take the prescribed antibiotics, rest properly, etc. there is nothing that can go wrong. There are a handful of consequences that are associated with a gum lift procedure and they are as follows:
For the first few months there will be some level of teeth sensitivity. Should it not dissipate after the first few months of the procedure, notify the dentist immediately. It can upwards of a year for the aforementioned gum numbness to go away. It can take approximately 10 to 14 months for the spacing between the teeth to fill with gum. This is as long as the gum is kept healthy during this time.
Will there be a Need for Crowns or Veneers?
There is a possibility that you will require crowns or veneers after the procedure has been completed. This decision is contingent on the preexisting condition of your gums and teeth as well as how much of a lift you are having done. In most cases, patients only need a gum lift in order to accomplish a perfect smile. There are cases in which a gum lift can only slightly improve upon a smile, therefore additional restorative procedures will be needed. This is a matter that will need to be discussed in detail with your dentist.

Take Control With ControlPlane
by
With the complexity of most modern computers, it can sometimes be difficult to manage all of its different functions.
Especially security. For example, an open Wi-Fi setting which can be awkward to manage: Turn this on… Turn that off… and remembering to turn it back when you return home can be time consuming and difficult. It's in scenarios, such as this one, where ControlPlane can automate and enhance the functionality of the Mac.
ControlPlane Explained
Think of ControlPlane as a process overseer that helps to manage a Mac. It examines all of the Evidence Sources available to it, runs them over some Rules, makes a decision based on these to set the Contexts of the Mac.
When the Contexts of the Mac change, ControlPlane executes Actions to manage the situation.
Get Started
The easiest way to get started with ControlPlane is with HomeBrew. If you haven't installed HomeBrew, check out the Homebrew tutorial
Once Homebrew is installed, install Cask with these commands:
With HomeBrew and Cask installed, execute the following command:
The advantage of using Cask is that it will automatically install updates for you. With one command, all programs installed with Cask can be updated. This makes keeping a system up-to-date that much easier!
Alternatively, you can download ControlPlane from the developer's web site and install it in the conventional way.
ControlPlane Icon
ControlPlane places an icon of a plane in the menu bar. The color of the plane depends upon the current context.
ControlPlane Menu
Clicking on the status bar icon, ControlPlane displays the main menu. This displays the current context, where to go for more information, the ability to check for updates, and the Preferences dialog.
General Preferences
The Preferences dialog is where ControlPlane is managed. In the General tab, the operational options for ControlPlane can be modified. Those options are:
Enabling automatic switching–This allows ControlPlane to switch contexts automatically without your intervention. This should be enabled.
Start ControlPlane at login–This allows ControlPlane to start on login. Since you do not want to remember to launch it, it is best to enable this option.
Use Notifications–This option will cause ControlPlane to display a notification message upon changing context or performing an action. It needs to be on for figuring out the correct rule settings. But when your system is configured, it is best to turn it off.
Check for updates on startup–With this option set, ControlPlane will check for a new version every time it is launched. This keeps your system up to date with latest fixes.
Hide from status bar–This option hides the icon in the status bar. I like to keep this unchecked so I can easily see what is the current context. You can set the icon to show just the icon, just the current context, or both.
Use switch smoothing–This gives the context switching more of a dampening effect. What that means is that with this turned on, context switching will be performed more slowly. With it off, the switching is performed quicker, but also sometimes unnecessarily. It is best to keep this option turned on.
Restore previous context when ControlPlane starts–When ControlPlane starts, this options will set the last context state as the current state before starting to calculate a new state. This helps in situations when you turn the computer off while in one context and turn it back on when in a different context. If this option is turned off, then none of the actions for moving context will be ran. But with this on option on, they will.
Use a default context–This option gives you the ability to set a default context. Therefore, if ControlPlane can not figure out a context based on Evidence Sources currently available, then it will use the default context.
Confidence to switch–This option gives you the ability to set a confidence level for the changing of context. If the current evidence is not above the confidence level, then no switching is performed.
Advanced
The Advanced tab is only for the brave. Looking at it gives you an idea of what is going on with ControlPlane, but it is best to leave this area alone. It is very easy to set a parameter incorrectly that will comprise the efficient operation of the Mac. I advise to just look, but not touch this area.
Contexts
Once operational parameters are set, there need to be some Contexts for ControlPlane to monitor. You can think of a context as an operational state of the computer. Without Contexts, there is nothing for ControlPlane to do.
Contexts
I have two main Contexts defined: Home and Not Home
You can also have sub-contexts by selecting an existing Contexts when you create a new one. Be careful, I kept making new Contexts as sub-contexts without realizing it. But, if you do, just drag it to the left and it will change levels. To create a new Contexts, click on the + button at the lower left hand corner.
Adding a Context
You will see the sub-dialog open asking for the name and color for the new Context. What I like to do is assign a dark main color for the upper level Contexts and lighter shades of that color for the sub-Contexts
Always check the Preview picked color in status bar check-box so that you can see the color of the Contexts in the ControlPlane icon. Go ahead and create the Contexts you want.
Evidence Sources
With the Contexts define, the Evidence Sources need to be defined. Since selecting an Evidence Sources causes ControlPlane to monitor that source, you do not want any more activated than you will use.
Evidence Sources
The Evidence Sources that I am using are:
 - Active Network Adapter
 - Assigned IP Address
 - Attached USB Device
 - Current Location
 - Nearby Wi-Fi Network
 - Power Source
With these checked, you'll be able to create the rules for when your MacBook is at home and for when it's not.
Rules
The next step is to set up some Rules. Rules are used to relate Evidence Sources to a percentage chance that it relates to a particular Contexts. The hard part is getting the percentage accurate enough to trigger the change of Contexts, but not so close to the border that it switches a whole lot.
Rules
As you can see, there are many rules with various stages on the sliders. To add a new Rule, click the + button at the lower left hand corner.
Adding a Rule
Each Evidence Source adds to the list of possible Rules that can be used. For my setup on the MacBook Air, I setup a rule for Active Network Adapter and set it to Wi-Fi link active with a percentage of 80% of being Home context.
I added a rule for the Attached USB Device being my G3 Adaptor to a percentage of 90% for the Not Home context. I also setup a Current Location Rule for what my system says is my home (it is really over 100 feet off!) to a Home Context at 100%.
I also set up two Rules for Assigned IP Address. If it was my local networks address range (netmask set to 255.255.255.0), I assigned a 90% to the Home Context. If the address range is for my G3 provider (netmask set to 255.255.0.0 since it could be any number in that range), I assigned a 90% to the Not Home Context.
Actions
Once ControlPlane is changing Contexts, you can set up some Actions to be performed when the Contexts switch.
Actions
Set two ToggleFileSharing Actions. One for turning off file sharing when I enter the Not Home Context and one for turning on file sharing entering the Home Context.
Set two ToggleContextStickiness Actions. One for turning it on when in the Not Home Context and one for turning it off when in the Home Context
What the ToggleContextStickiness does is force ControlPlane to only switch Context on a 100% certainty. That way, once ControlPlane detects it is Not Home, it will not switch until it is definitely in the Home Context.
Adding an Actions
Set up these Actions by clicking the + button at the lower left hand corner of the Actions list. With these basic Actions set up, the system will now turn on and off File Sharing based on Home or Not Home Contexts.
Alfred and ControlPlane
There is a handy Alfred workflow called Control Tower. You can use it to control ControlPlane. Some of it's options are outdated, but the main functionality keywords work great. I mostly use it to enable/disable ControlPlane.
Conclusion
In this tutorial I have shown you how to set up ControlPlane for turning your file sharing on/off based on context.
Using these techniques, you can add other contexts and/or sub-contexts and control other aspects of your computer. That's just the beginning, though, and the possibilities are limited only by your imagination!

Early Overseed Transitioning
By Todd Lowe, senior agronomist, Florida RegionMay 8, 2012
|No turf thinning occurred in this non-overseeded fairway from a golf course in Ocala, Fl. that was sprayed every two weeks this past winter with pigments and fertilizers.|
While many golf facilities have moved away from winter overseeding in the Florida Region, it is still a practice that some courses conduct to improve turf color. Transitioning from perennial ryegrass back to the base bermudagrass takes place each spring and is usually just beginning at this time. Given warmer than usual temperatures this spring many courses in our region are reporting the transition is well ahead of schedule as it began over a month ago.
Some golf courses are struggling with overseed transition at this time. If multiple stress factors occur within a given area, severe turf thinning will occur. These factors include:
- Shade – Perennial ryegrass has a higher tolerance of shade than bermudagrass and grows more aggressively in shaded areas during the winter months. This inherent physiological difference gives ryegrass the ability to outcompete bermudagrass in shaded areas and large bare areas can result around trees and on north-facing slopes.
- Traffic – Carts, mowers and even foot traffic are especially stressful to turf during spring transition and can cause turf thinning. Bermudagrass does not grow when temperatures drop below 60°F and continual traffic during the peak play season in Florida removes its leaves. Meanwhile, ryegrass is actively growing during the winter play season and thus gains a competitive edge over the thinning bermudagrass.
- Nematodes – Plant-parasitic nematodes feed on turfgrass roots. Nematode feeding combined with the additional stress of perennial ryegrass competition can cause significant turf thinning during spring transition.
- Water Limitations – An additional stress factor that some Florida courses are dealing with this spring is a reduced ability to irrigate. The amount of water that can be used is governed by the five water management districts in Florida and some have become quite stringent on irrigation reductions. In addition to overall reductions in water allocations, several regions must comply with restrictions that only allow watering greens and tees three times per week and fairways once weekly. It is impossible to keep ryegrass alive without supplemental irrigation and this is causing rapid transition in many areas.
Soil cultivation and fertilization should be applied in thin areas to promote bermudagrass growth and quality. Also, if areas struggle with nematodes, the nematicide Curfew (1,3-D) should be applied to reduce nematode populations. Irrigation reductions are making turf recovery difficult as well because nematicides and most fertilizers must be watered in with irrigation.
Spraying tees and fairways on a regular basis with pigments and light amounts of fertilizers, or "liquid overseed" as it is often called, is continuing to gain ground in our region (see previous Florida Region update). Traditional overseeding with cool-season grasses is a stress to the base bermudagrass that causes turf thinning, whereas liquid overseeding improves turf growth, as it provides nutrients on a regular basis. Also, the turf remains actively growing for more of the winter season due to warmer canopy temperatures. Lastly, traditional overseeding must be mowed regularly throughout the winter whereas non-overseeded bermudagrass is mowed less often. For more information on liquid overseeding please don't hesitate to contact either of the Florida offices.
There is only one week left to take advantage of the $600 discount for pre-payment of TAS visits. Payment must be received by May 15 but the visit can be scheduled at any time during the year. Please contact our office to take advantage of this reduced fee.

Fundamentals of MorphOS
From MorphOS Library
Revision as of 14:04, 15 December 2015 by JPV (talk | contribs)
(diff) ← Older revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)
Author: Dave Crawford
This document describes basic terms and usage of the MorphOS and the Ambient desktop, consisting of the following topics:
Common Terms
Action Key - The action keys may be referred to as command keys by some documents and as the Amiga key by older applications. The action button can be identified based on the make and model of a given keyboard, such as the Windows logo or the Apple emblem. Also, if a keyboard only has one action key, it is usually mapped to the Left Action key.
Control Key - A key located on the keyboard to the left of the space bar that is usually labeled with the text Ctrl .
Alternate Key - A key located on the keyboard between the control key and keyboard, usually labeled Alt, and it is often referred to as the Alt key.
Preferences - A term often used to indicate Ambient, MUI, or MorphOS options that affect system behavior; when used generally this term can refer to any of the following: Ambient Preferences program, MorphOS System Preferences program, or a specific application's preferences program or preferences window. Often, users and developers alike will use the term Preferences to refer to any related program settings within a discussion.
MUI - An acronym referring to an integral part of the MorphOS operating system called Magic User Interface. MUI is an object oriented library for building graphics interfaces of applications.
Snapshot - A term used to describe the saving of the desktop information regarding a window or icon. This allows the user to dictate where an application window will appear, the location of icons on the Ambient Desktop, etc.
Requesters
Read more from the Requesters page.
Menus
Menus provide access to many different functions and settings from a pull-down list that is usually available in MorphOS through the pressing of the right mouse button. When a window is highlighted or selected the menu, unless the MUI preferences have been changed or a Context Menu is available, is located at the top of the screen. Often, the functions of the Top Menu can also be found on the Context Menu available when an icon is selected on screen.
Menu Operation
It should first be noted that menu behavior can be greatly altered through the use of various settings from within MorphOS itself; such as using MUI preferences. These settings, and their changes, will be described in another document. It should also be noted that individual menu entries will vary depending upon the application used.
Top Menu
The top menu is the menu that is available from the top of the screen. This menu usually includes the main functions and settings in an application. For example, Ambient will allow copy and paste from the top menu.
Context Menu
The context menu is a menu that is available from an item in a list, an icon, or other on-screen object. Context menus usually contain functionality that is specific to the item selected, though this is not always the case. For example, a context menu used in a file requester can be used to create a new directory even if a file is selected in that list.
Screens
The display seen by the user is the active screen, and other screens, if open, appear through the use of cycling screens. A screen, by definition, is a monitor display mode and it's parameters. An open screen is not necessarily visible, as another screen may be in front of a given screen. Screens may best be thought of as virtual desktops with specific usages. For example, a MUI screen of a given resolution may be opened with a web-browser, such as OWB.
Working with Screens:
 - Screens may be created through the MorphOS Preferences program.
 - Usage of MUI Preferences will allow for the association of applications to specific screens.
 - MUI preferences also allow for program specific screens to be user named.
 - The MUI popup gadget found on program windows has an option to open a new automatically created screen for the program.
 - The front-most screen is often referred to as the Active Screen.
 - Using Left Action + N will always bring the Ambient desktop to the front.
 - Open screens can be cycled by utilizing the keyboard shortcut Left Action + M .
 - Screens may also be cycled by using the screen depth gadget found on the top-right of the screen title bar. The left mouse button cycles screens and the right mouse button opens a screen selection menu.
Windows
By definition, a window is an area of display that presents information, objects, or other contents for user interaction. In Ambient, windows can display the contents of a device or directory through a classic icon view or by using a lister.
Opening a Window
Many applications will create their own window upon activation. Simply double clicking on a program's icon will open it's window, and, depending upon the application, it may open it's own screen. Also, double clicking a device or directory icon will open a window displaying the contents of that device or directory.
Using Windows
Several windows may be open on any given screen, but only the active window can accept input from the user. This is important when considering the use of keyboard shortcuts. The active, or selected window, will have a different border color than the other windows on the screen. Windows may also appear to layer one over another, as several windows may be opened on any given screen. Depth (which window is in front, back, or middle of a stack of windows) can be manipulated by using the depth gadget, or by double clicking a window.*
Activating a Window
Clicking on a window, inside or on the border, will activate, or select, that window. The reverse is also true, by clicking outside of a window it will be deactivated. Only one window can be active at a time.
Moving Windows
When there are several windows open on a screen, such as on the Ambient screen, they may need to be rearranged. Using the pointer, click and hold down the left mouse button over the title bar of a window. Then, while holding down the mouse button, the window can be moved. By default, to partially move a window off of the visible area of the screen, the keyboard's Control key, labeled Ctrl , must be held down while moving the window. Clicking on the portion of a window visible on screen will instantly move it back into the field of view.*
AppWindow
An AppWindow allows files to be opened via the drag and drop method using icons. For example, an open Multiview window can load, and display, a file when it is dragged into the window.
Icons
Ambient uses graphical images to represent commands, programs, files, or other objects on screen. Some default icons are as follows:
 - A partition's icon will appear as an image of a hard drive.
 - USB based storage devices will also, by default, appear as an image of a hard drive.
 - A directory icon may be a folder or a drawer.
 - A tool icon will represent a program.
 - Project icons will often open the application that created the file along with the file itself.
 - MyMorphOS is a special icon that displays all connected devices and assigns used by a particular MorphOS system.
Selecting an Icon
An icon is selected, or highlighted, when the pointer is over an icon and the left mouse button is pressed once. To deselect an icon, or group of icons, press the left mouse button when the pointer has been moved to another part of the screen.
Picking up an Icon
An icon is picked up when the mouse is pointed at an icon and the left mouse button is pressed and held. A ghosted image of the icon will appear connected to the pointer.
Multiple Selection
More than one icon may be picked up at a time. This can be achieved by holding down the shift key, and single clicking on individual icons. Another method is to click on the Ambient background nearest to the first icon to be selected then dragging the box outline over the desired icons. If one is to utilize the following drag and drop method for a multiple selection, ensure that the shift key is pressed and hold the left mouse button down when selecting the final icon.
Drag and Drop
Dragging an icon will result in different affects based upon the source and target of the icon in question. When dragging an icon from one directory to another on the same device, the associated file will be moved.* However, when using the drag and drop method across different devices, the associated file will be copied.* To copy a file to another directory on the same device, use the copy and paste menu options from the top menu or context menu. The same rule applies to dragging, and dropping, multiple icons. Be aware that the target when dropping icons in this manner is the location under the pointer when releasing the left mouse button.
AppIcons
Similar to an AppWindow, an AppIcon is a special icon that is created by an activating program. The functionality of any given AppIcon should be documented by the program that created it. When an application utilizes an AppIcon, the user is advised to refer to that application's documentation.
The most common use of the AppIcon is through an application that has been iconified. This is a special state of an application in which it is active but has no open windows, and may be thought of as hiding an application's windows. Double clicking an iconified application will restore all of it's windows to their previous sizes and locations. The second most common version of these special icons, are similar to an AppWindow, in which they usually, though not always

In addition to its widespread clinical use, the intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) is increasingly being employed as a tool to map the neural correlates of normal cognitive function as well as for developing neuroprosthetics. Despite recent advances, and unlike other established brain-mapping modalities (e.g. functional MRI, magnetoand electroencephalography), registering the iEEG with respect to neuroanatomy in individuals-and coregistering functional results across subjects-remains a significant challenge. Here we describe a method which coregisters high-resolution preoperative MRI with postoperative computerized tomography (CT) for the purpose of individualized functional mapping of both normal and pathological (e.g., interictal discharges and seizures) brain activity. Our method accurately (within 3mm, on average) localizes electrodes with respect to an individual's neuroanatomy. Furthermore, we outline a principled procedure for either volumetric or surface-based group analyses. We demonstrate our method in five patients with medically-intractable epilepsy undergoing invasive monitoring of the seizure focus prior to its surgical removal. The straight-forward application of this procedure to all types of intracranial electrodes, robustness to deformations in both skull and brain, and the ability to compare electrode locations across groups of patients makes this procedure an important tool for basic scientists as well as clinicians.

Definition of Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA):
Aminomethylphosphonic acid is mainly produced by environmental biodegradation reactions of the herbicide glyphosate[1].
This is the common definition for Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), other definitions can be discussed in the article
Notes
Category:Stub
AMPA
AMPA
Formula
CH6NO3P
Currently very little is known about AMPA. It is formed by biodegradation of the herbicide glyohosate. Compared to glyohosate; present at lower concentrations in the environment, although it's more stable, it adsorbs more strongly to soils and might have a higher tendency towards bioaccumulation. Glysphosate itself however is not expected to bioaccumulate much because of its higher water solubility[2].
Measured concentrations of AMPA in surface waters range between 6 and 35 µg/l [3].

The area was settled in the late eighteenth century and the town was established in 1794 as Port William, named probably for William Porter, an early settler. Port William was the seat of Gallatin county (formed in 1798) until 1838 when Carroll county was formed. Port William was made the seat of the new county and renamed Carrollton. The Port William post office opened in 1807 and was renamed Carrollton in 1838. The population in 1990 was 3,715.

Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the State of the Finances
The Department of the Treasury was established in 1789. These annual reports also contain the reports of the many departments of the Treasury, including the Bureau of the Mint, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Bureau of Customs, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Secret Service, and the Internal Revenue Service.
Statistical Appendices for the years _PHONE_ are included.
Most of the reports for the years _PHONE_ were bound together into four volumes with combined indexes at the end of each volume. The index for the volume and table of contents listing the reports contained in that volume are included in the pdfs for the applicable years. Additionally, reports for the years 1789, _PHONE_, and _PHONE_ were downloaded from the American State Papers, digitized by the Library of Congress.
In the report for 1842, there is a notation that an act to establish a fiscal year for the United States was approved on August 26, 1842.

Returning errors from Windows commands
by Jonathan Harston, August 2010
The OSCLI command can be used to execute a Windows command. However, if the command fails, no error is generated, the Windows command interpreter merely displays an error message. You may see this appearing in a DOS command box before it quickly disappears.
However, the Windows command interpreter and properly-written commands output error message to the standard-error output stream. This can be redirected to a file, and then any contents examined later. The following function does this.
 DEF FNwin_cmd(cli$)
 LOCAL ch%,err$,tmp$:tmp$=@tmp$+STR$TIME
 OSCLI "cmd /c "+cli$+" 2>"+tmp$
 ch%=OPENIN(tmp$):IF ch%=0:=""
 err$=GET$#ch%:CLOSE#ch%:OS."Delete "+tmp$
 =err$
This redirects the error output to a file, then reads that file to see if anything has been output to it. Bear in mind that if the called command displays its error reports to standard-out instead of standard-error, then it will return an empty string.
Examples
 >PRINT FNwin_cmd("junk")
 'junk' is not recognised as an internal or external command.
 >PRINT FNwin_cmd("dir")
 >
Note that, as opposed to OSCLI itself, the command is always passed to Windows. In the second example above, the Windows DIR command is executed, which will result in a directory listing appearing in a DOS command box before quickly diappearing.

HB 6, the Clean Future Act, which would create requirements and target dates for New Mexico to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reach the state's ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, passed the Energy, Environment & Natural Resources Committee today by a vote of 5 to 4.
Achieving net-zero would effectively offset New Mexico's atmospheric carbon that causes climate change by safely storing harmful greenhouse gases and phasing out their use. Another hope of the bill is to create a more sustainable economy by diversifying its green initiatives.
"The Clean Future Act will combat climate change and propel New Mexico toward a low-carbon, job-creating economy," said Rep. Nathan Small (D-Las Cruces). "Reaching our goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions will drastically reduce our climate impact while growing New Mexico's economy and safeguarding our environment."
By 2030, statewide greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced to 50% of 2005 levels and net-zero by 2050. Beyond 2050, emissions would be capped at 10% of 2005 levels, which would be net-zero going forward.
"The people of New Mexico are already feeling the impacts of climate change and they are counting on us to act right away," Speaker Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe). "With this legislation, we can make significant progress in reducing our emissions and begin to reverse the damage that has already been done."
The Clean Future Act would set reporting requirements for businesses and state entities to monitor the progress to net-zero emissions. State agencies would be required to continually explore ways to reduce carbon emissions and annually report on their climate impacts to disproportionately impacted communities.
HB 6 is sponsored by Rep. Small and Speaker Egolf and Reps. D. Wonda Johnson (D-Church Rock) and Kristina Ortez (D-Taos), along with Senate President Pro Tempore Mimi Stewart (D-Albuquerque), and Sen. Siah Correa Hemphill (D-Silver City). It is also a legislative priority of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.

Students at Bundang Preschool Academy in South Korea
These two schools are our piloting penpals with the International Plastic Quilt Project this fall! The first letter from South Korea to Portland, Oregon:
Bundang Preschool Academy (PSA) in South Korea and Woodlawn Elementary SUN School in Portland, Oregon are excited to announce their participation in Create Plenty's Plastic Quilt Project. We have partnered together to create an art and information exchange.
Over the next few months we will share our student's ideas about trash, recycling and creating art with single-use plastic.
As an introduction to the Plastic Quilt Project and plastic pollution the 7 year-old students at
PSA were asked 4 questions about trash to compare with answers given in the United States:
1. What do you think happens to trash?
"It will stay there." –Gian
"It gets cut into little pieces." –Leah
The most popular answer was "It gets recycled".
2. Where does trash go after you throw it away?
"It will go in the ground and make the Earth dirty." –Kevin
"In the machine from Toy Story 3." –YeEun
The most popular answers were "trashcan" and "recycle or trash center".
3. Where does trash come from?
"It comes from Everyone!" –Erin
"It can come from foods, papers, boxes, things, and cans." –Ben
The most popular answer was "me".
4. How are animals affected by trash?
"Animals in water like dolphin think it is fish and eat it and die." –Thomas
"They are unhappy." –Zoe
The most popular answers were "they will get sick" and "they die".
Plastic wrappers found in South Korea
We will continue our work by talking about our ecological footprint and recycling and students will start to save their single-use plastics. Then we will start discussing plastic art and creating our plastic quilt squares.

- Q: Which temperature scale provides a direct measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance?What is the name of the device used to measure gas pressure?Help? Thanks.
- A: You have to use the Kevin scale for any energy calculations.The instrument used to measure pressure depends on the pressure. Very low pressures such as in vacuum operations use an ionisation gauge or a McCloed gauge. Near ambient pressures you can use a manometer. At very high pressures such as in a rocket engine you would need a pressure gauge or perhaps a strain gauge.
- If the average kinetic energy of a substance changes what happens?
- Q: A)its temperature changesB)it may change phaseC)thermal energy has been transfered into or out of the substanceD)all of these
- A: The answer should be A.Average kinetic energy of a substance is related to the speed of the particles moving in it and the temperature of the substance.As the particles in the a substance moves faster, the average kinetic energy of the substance increases. So does the temperature.When a substance changes phase, the temperature will remain constant. This means that the average kinetic energy is also constant during this process. Hence, B is wrong.When thermal energy is being transferred out of the substance, one could understand it as taking out some particles out of the substance. So what is changed here? I would think that the total kinetic energy is being changed, since some particles have been taken away. But the taking away of the particles would not affect the speed of the remaining particles. The AVERAGE kinetic energy should remain unchanged. Hence, C is also wrong.
- In which phase of a substance do its particles have the greatest average kinetic energy?
- Q: In which phase of a substance do its particles have the greatest average kinetic energy?In Which phase does the substance have the highest potential energy?
- A: I'll just throw out there that it seems likely a plasma would have the highest kinetic energy. I'm not sure if that is one of the choices, depending on the context of the original question.
Prev Question: What is the study of physical science

The smell of homemade bread doesn't just make us crave fresh-from-the-oven carbs, it also makes us kinder to strangers — or so a new study claims.
A small team of researchers from France's University of Southern Brittany sent four volunteers to stand outside a clothing store. They sent another four volunteers to stand outside a bakery. As shoppers passed by, the volunteers "accidentally" dropped small personal items, like gloves and handkerchiefs, the NY Daily News reports.
The researchers found that 77 per cent of the shoppers who walked by the volunteers outside the bakery stopped to pick up the dropped items, while only 52 per cent of shoppers stopped outside the clothing store.
The experiment was repeated 400 times, each time leading the researchers to conclude that pleasant smells "trigger a positive mood that leads to a greater degree of altruism, or unconditional concern for the welfare of others," the Daily Mail reports.
Of course, if you're on a diet that's severely limiting your carb intake, the smell of fresh bread might make you hostile rather than hospitable.
The study doesn't indicate if factors like time of day or weather were controlled for in the study.
Watch the video below reporting on the new bread study.

The North Island Brown Kiwi is found only in the upper two-thirds of the North Island. They are widespread in Northland in a diverse range of vegetation types including exotic forests and rough farm land.
Okarito Brown Kiwi
In one sense, the new kid on the block. It was only in 1993 that the Okarito Brown, living in lowland forest just north of Franz Josef was identified as a distinct variety of kiwi. Tell-tale signs are its slightly greyish plumage sometimes accompanied by white facial feathers.
Squat and round and bigger than their northern Brown Kiwi cousins, they can grow to almost the same size as Great Spotted Kiwi. The Southern Tokoeka are found in Fiordland and on Stewart Island. They are the most communal of the somewhat reclusive kiwi.
The Haast Tokoeka, found in the rugged mountains behind Haast, was also identified as a distant variety of Kiwi in 1993. They spend their summers in the high sub alpine tussock grasslands but probably retreat to the lowland forests in winter.
Kiwi Sightings -- Where You Can See Kiwi
Few of us get the chance to see a kiwi in the wild but Brown Kiwi can be seen at the following places:

How to set up a vocabulary jar? Word bank.
Iam a primary teacher who teachers english. I would like to work with primary students more vocabulary, for example "cambridge ket exam vocabulary bank" which i've got it pdf (word list). I would like to do it in a funny way using for example a vocabulary jar which I use to see in, for example, _URL_
We will make small strips of paper containing the words and put them in the jar. They learn the words and put them in the jar, later will go back to review the words. I would like to cover this "cambridge ket exam vocabulary bank" so students will have a good command of vocabulary.
Could you help me to set up as a game, or the way to do it correctly? Have you got any experience related to the "vocabulary jar" technique? I have seen many examples, mainly photos, but do not know how to do it in a correct way.

Some of us like to live in a space that doesn't separate the outdoors and indoors, but rather carefully brings them together in a harmonious fashion to enhance our everyday living experience. In order to make this idea into a reality, let's look at 5 ways Alpharetta homeowners can blend the outdoors with the indoors:
Coordinate Your Colors
One of the easiest ways to blend the outdoors with the indoors is to try using color to imitate that outdoor look and feel.
You'll often hear people discussing using earth tones to paint their homes, and this is what we're going for as well. To define what earthy tones are, think of the colors you see out in nature.
You aren't limited to different shades of green and brown as there are all kinds of reds, yellows, and even blues that qualify. Most earth tones are going to be dulled slightly relative to what we imagine when painting a new home, so dial back the shine and saturation just a tad and you can open up your available palette substantially.
Choose Appropriate Materials
Going along with selecting appropriate colors to represent those seen outdoors, doing the same thing with the materials of your decor will do wonders in achieving your goals.
As is the case in choosing colors, you have to decide how far you are willing to take the imitation of the outdoors in order to determine the overall look you're going for. Perhaps you are satisfied with using floral or nature-themed patterns to accomplish this task, or maybe you want to go full rustic with wood furniture showing off exposed timber and bark.
Take a look at your available options and your instincts will help you decide what feels best.
Manage Your Light
Every home can benefit from additional light helping to brighten up each room, which helps to make spaces seem larger and open.
If you're looking to maximize this gain, there are some projects you could consider – some much more costly than others.
First, putting in new cellular blinds that filter sunlight rather than entirely block it is a good opening step. Taking things much further and hiring a contractor can allow you to install new, wider windows with better energy efficiency means not only more sunlight in your home but a better running HVAC system.
You can also consider putting in an awning over a porch or the trendier choice of extending your roof to cover that same porch area to create a more permanent living space.
Open Things Up
Blending the outdoors with the indoors doesn't have to totally break the bank, and choosing to put in a new sliding glass door can help accomplish the same goal without as much financial investment as the previous steps.
Screened doors and windows allow you to open them up during warmer weather and save money on your electric bill while enjoying the fresh air. Sliding pocket doors have also become quite popular as an alternative to the traditional sliding glass door, and they help to create an even more open look.
Transfer Your Living Space Outdoors
A common contemporary strategy to blend the outdoors with the indoors is to create outdoor living spaces.
A simple set of patio furniture or a fire pit is all you need to kick this off, and it can be a serious game-changer in your daily living. Actively making the choice to entertain guests outside helps to make the outdoor environment a more normal living space, and it can turn your house into quite a unique party experience.

July 17, 2007 In a small study of patients undergoing tonsillectomy, or removal of the tonsils, none reported an ongoing dysfunction in their sense of taste following the procedure, according to a report in the July issue of Archives of Otolaryngology--Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Together with the sense of smell and nerve impulses in the mouth, "the sense of taste contributes considerably to flavor perception during eating and drinking and thus plays a major role in the enjoyment of foods and beverages," according to background information in the article. The sense of taste shows little deterioration during aging but can be weakened by disease or medications. Accidental nerve damage during some medical procedures, including radiation treatment, middle ear surgery, dental or oral surgery or tonsillectomy, also can cause taste dysfunction.
Christian A. Mueller, M.D., of the University of Vienna, Austria, and colleagues asked 65 tonsillectomy patients (42 females, 23 males; average age 28) to rate their own sense of smell and taste before surgery on a scale of zero to 100, where zero is no sense of taste or smell and 100 is an excellent sense of taste and smell. Taste function and sensitivity also was assessed one day before surgery with gustatory testing, during which taste strips for four concentrations of sweet, sour, salty and bitter were applied to both sides of the front and back areas of the tongue. Between 64 and 173 days after surgery, patients were asked to report any changes to their sense of taste or smell and again asked to rate them from zero to 100. Gustatory testing was performed again on 32 patients.
On average, patients' ratings of their sense of taste and smell decreased following surgery--the average score was 62.3 before surgery and 51.1 after surgery. However, there were no significant changes in gustatory test scores following surgery. In addition, none of the patients reported ongoing dysfunction in their sense of taste or smell at the follow-up questioning.
"This raises the question of whether taste ratings also depend on attentional factors," the authors write. "Thus, it may be hypothesized that the patients' ratings of taste function were influenced by the presence of postoperative pain, oral discomfort or wound healing during the first days and weeks after tonsillectomy."
"A number of case reports and a few systematic investigations of patients experiencing taste disorders after tonsillectomy have been published," they conclude. "However, based on the present results, taste loss after tonsillectomy seems to be a rare complication."

Assessing the effects of water withdrawal for hydraulic fracturing on surface water and groundwater – a review
Meteorology Hydrology and Water Management
The interaction between groundwater and surface water plays an important role in the function of riparian ecosystems and sustainable water resource management. Hydraulic fracturing, an unconventional oil and gas well stimulation method, has increased dramatically in North America in an effort to exploit previously inaccessible shale oil and gas reserves. Hydraulic fracturing often requires several thousand cubic meters of water to fracture the source formations. Use of such a high volume of
... high volume of water has raised considerable public concern over the sustainability of this activity and the potential impacts on surface water and groundwater. This paper provides a review of the published literature addressing the effects of water withdrawal for hydraulic fracturing on surface water and groundwater. The potential effects of such withdrawal are: decreased volume of water in rivers, streams, lakes and aquifers; alteration of natural flow regimes; regional water shortages during periods of drought; creating conflicts with other water users in water-stressed regions; inadequate downstream water availability; reduced downstream water quality for human uses, due to less water availability for dilution; and degradation of habitat and aquatic ecosystem function, impacting local wildlife. This review demonstrates that relatively little attention has been paid to quantify and understand these interactions, and suggests that there is a significant need for further research in this area to address the currently limited availability of data. Keywords Groundwater, surface water, hydraulic fracturing, water withdrawal, shale oil and gas production.

Background: Recent studies show that the combined use of Large-Volume Metrology (LVM) systems can lead to a systematic reduction in measurement uncertainty and a better exploitation of the available equipment. Unfortunately, the sensors of a specific LVM system are usually able to localize only specific targets and not necessarily those related to other systems; this represents an obstacle when using combinations of different LVM systems.
Objective: This paper describes the design of a new modular probe, with different typologies of targets and integrated sensors, which allows to simplify the measurement process.
Method: The originality and inventive content of the proposed invention is documented by a literature review, from the dual perspective of scientific articles and patents. Next, a detailed description of the technical and functional characteristics of the probe is provided and a mathematical/statistical model for the real-time probe localization is presented.
Results: The probe is versatile as the number of targets, their typology and spatial position can be customized depending on the combination of LVM systems in use. Also, it can integrate additional sensors (such as two-axis inclinometer and compass), which contribute to the probe localization. The mathematical/statistical model for the real-time probe localization is efficient, as it is based on a system of linearized equations, and effective, as the equations are weighed with respect to their uncertainty contribution.
Conclusion: The new multi-target modular probe is potentially key tool to promote the combined use of LVM systems.
