text: A French architect; born in Paris, February 7, 1834. He attended the National School of Design and was a favorite pupil of Bellangé. His first position was in the employ of the Eastern Railroad of France, but he also took an active part in the organization of the two French international exhibitions of 1855 and 1867. Among other distinctions he was appointed one of the judges on the committee of awards at the London Exhibition of 1862, and was created an officer of the Legion of Honor in 1867. In 1871 he became the official architect of the eleventh arrondissement of Paris. When the new synagogue in the Rue de la Victoire was projected, Aldrophe was selected as architect, as also for that at Versailles. He is the designer of the Thiers and Isidore monuments in the cemetery of Père-la-Chaise, and the architect of numerous private residences in the French capital, including that of Baron Gustave de Rothschild on the Avenue de Marignan.


Police Increase DWI Enforcement During No-Refusal Weekends
Posted on in DWI / DUI
Police Increase DWI Enforcement During No Refusal WeekendsIt is common to see local law enforcement promote no-refusal periods for people suspected of driving while intoxicated. Holidays, such as the upcoming Labor Day weekend, are a popular time for celebrating, which can increase the number of people who are drinking and driving. No-refusal weekends often coincide with these periods in order to punish those who break DWI laws and dissuade others from drinking and driving. Police departments increase their resources to make it more difficult for suspects to avoid blood alcohol concentration tests.
Implied Consent and No Refusal
No refusal refers to circumstances in which a DWI suspect cannot legally refuse to submit to a BAC test, such as a providing a blood or breath sample. Texas has an implied consent law that states that anyone who is allowed to drive in the state has also consented to cooperate with a BAC test. Refusing the test will result in an automatic suspension of the suspect's driver's license and can be used as evidence against the suspect in a DWI case. However, some courts have ruled that the implied consent law violates a suspect's rights under the fourth amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits searching a person without a warrant. In this case, police obtain blood from the suspect in order to search for evidence of intoxication. To get around this defense, police can request a warrant to obtain a suspect's blood sample. Refusing the warrant would be a criminal offense.
No-Refusal Weekend
Having a no-refusal weekend does not change how police enforce DWI laws. Instead, it changes the police's speed and efficiency in doing so. Hours can pass between the time of a suspect's arrest and when the blood sample is drawn because:
 - A judge must approve a blood search warrant;
 - A medical professional must draw the blood sample; and
 - A limited number of people are available to provide these services when an arrest occurs at night.
A person's BAC will drop during those hours, which may make a difference in whether the blood sample tests above the legal limit. During a no-refusal weekend, police departments have more judges and nurses on call in order to speed up the process of issuing warrants and taking blood samples.
Your Rights
Police pay greater attention to DWI violations during no-refusal weekends but must follow the same standards of reasonable suspicion and just cause in making an arrest. A San Antonio DWI defense attorney at the Law Offices of Sam H. Lock will use evidence that police violated your rights as a defense against your charges.

- Digital acceleration implements short-term tactical changes over longer-term strategic projects.
- Digital acceleration is a response to changing customer demands, not just COVID-19.
Digital transformation has been an industry catchphrase for some time now. Its definition is both vague and changeable, but it speaks to using technology to improve internal processes within an enterprise to deliver cost savings and/or improved performance. It encompasses a wide range of technologies including cloud, SD-WAN, collaboration, IoT, 5G, blockchain, AI, and SaaS.
However, there is a new buzz phrase on the block: digital acceleration. So, is there a difference between digital transformation and digital acceleration? The 'helpful' answer to that is 'yes and no.' The intentions of both digital transformation and digital acceleration are the same, as are the technologies involved. The big difference is in methodology.
Digital transformation has usually been a slow process. It usually involves a consultative-driven approach designed to review large sections of a business and then to recommend and implement a series of changes over an extended a period of time, quite often two or three years. Digital acceleration is, as the name suggests, designed to deliver change more quickly. To achieve this, it takes a more iterative, small-scale approach. Instead of reviewing large-scale systems, it seeks to take components within systems and replace them with more digital (i.e., more technologically advanced) alternatives.
Digital acceleration as a concept has been around for at least two years, but it has gained impetus from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID has forced enterprises to adapt at a phenomenal pace. The consequences for failing to do so have often been existential.
Work from home (WFH) is a good and common example of digital acceleration. The problem of WFH has been addressed in a piecemeal way rather a holistic way. Widespread adoption of hosted collaboration services such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Cisco WebEx dominated the early part of the pandemic in order to keep employees connected. This has now moved towards improving home connectivity and to solutions designed to improve conditions for those working from home.
There have also been multiple vertical examples. Healthcare has rapidly adopted telehealth solutions, as COVID-19 meant that in-person consultations were often not possible. The initial solutions were relatively crude uses of platforms like Zoom. The iterative digital acceleration process will see a series of more tailor-made, cloud-hosted platforms replace the initial solutions now that telemedicine has become a more firmly established practice.
In retail, businesses have quickly had to adjust to a world that is even more focused on online rather than brick-and-mortar shopping. Long-term plans for greater tie-ins between the in-person and online experience are now being prioritized and implemented at an accelerated rate. Solutions such as virtual fitting rooms that once seemed futuristic are now seen as relatively normal.
However, enterprises shouldn't see digital acceleration purely as a reaction to the pandemic. The methodology speaks to the need to respond quickly to customers who are increasingly used to an on-demand, personalized experience. There is still a place for longer-term strategies, but businesses should also think tactically.

Communities across Africa are fighting to protect their culture, lands, and resources. But despite their peaceful efforts, they continue to face violence and abuse. Their struggles include abduction, imprisonment, torture, and death.
To document and raise awareness about such realities, and build resilience to such threats some communities have turned to video for change. And although the use of such methodologies has been growing, further strengthening and collaboration are needed to realize its true potential.
To address this, InsightShare, with the support of EngageMedia, Video Volunteers, and Witness, is hosting the 2019 Video4Change Grassroots Gathering outside CapeTown, South Africa. This October, grassroots communities, African video practitioners, and Video4Change Network trainers and facilitators will work together to:
- Facilitate discussions that build and strengthen alliances, learning from each other's contexts, experiences, and expertise
- Foster an understanding of human rights, land rights, and climate change as shared issues that are best approached in a collaborative, co-creative way
- Integrate traditional and cultural approaches with Video4Change tools and strategies, combining the best aspects of both to come up with the optimal framework
- Design practical plans to address the impacts of climate change and the environmental crisis
The event intends to support the launch of the Pan-African Living Cultures Alliance (PALCA). An indigenous-led initiative, PALCA aims to holistically address the protection of indigenous natural and cultural resources across Africa using Video4Change approaches such as Participatory Video and the Rights-Based Approach.
The participants will learn from an extensive roster of proven models and methodologies:
- Video Volunteers' Correspondents Network
- InsightShare's participatory video model
- WITNESS' video advocacy and video as evidence
- InformAction and Cartara's use of community screenings, documenting of Human Rights Abuse, digital security, and digital learning

THURSDAY, May 15 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers say they may be able to prevent the tissue damage that lung diseases, such as emphysema, cause by treating the patient with doxycycline, an antibiotic commonly used to treat acne.
In experiments on mice, doxycycline -- which is also used to treat common ailments such as sinusitis and urinary tract infections -- appears to counter low levels of VEGF, a protein that helps to maintain healthy lung tissue but is in unusually low levels in people with emphysema.
"The images that we have of the lungs of mice that have been treated with doxycycline are startlingly different to those that we didn't treat," Ellen C. Breen, from the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, said in a prepared statement. "VEGF-deficient lungs show vast pockets of tissue damage when untreated and greatly reduced damage when treated with doxycycline."
While the experiments show that doxycycline clearly can play a role in preventing lung tissue damage, Breen stressed that it is too early to say whether it could help humans with a genetic predisposition to lung disease.
"It's also important to remember that we were treating the mice with the drug whilst inducing the symptoms of lung disease, so this is by no means a cure," she said.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more about emphysema.

The Gregowiki is a central location for all Gregorio users to find:
Gregorio is an open-source project offering software tools for typesetting (engraving) Gregorian chant scores. In particular, Gregorio is an add-on package for the typesetting system LaTeX, so it requires an installation of TeXLive.
Gregorio and LaTeX together produce PDF output suitable for printing.
The input to Gregorio is a notation called GABC, which combines the syllables of a chant text with a simple notation indicating the position and shape of each note.
For most users, it's not necessary to install Gregorio on your own computer. Instead you can access it using one of the on-line Gregorio web interfaces listed below.
gprocesswhich is a
perlscript designed to instantly show the result of a gabc file using your system's pdf viewer.
grely.rbwhich converts gabc to simple lilypond. Currently the conversion is possible only to modern notation, with great information loss.
Since GABC code assigns notes to syllables of the sung text, these tools can be useful in breaking up a text into syllables:
Ben Bloomfield's on-line tools can apply melodic formulas to hymn texts, psalm verses, and scripture texts:
There are two web sites that have versions of the Gregorio software installed. They offer interfaces where a user can enter GABC code, make selections about the output format, and receive a PDF file with the score produced by the Gregorio (and LaTeX) software:
Several published books and smaller works have been produced using Gregorio.

Century is proud to announce a new artwork in reception by Albanian artist Genti Korini, on loan to us from Beers London Gallery.
Korini's canvases embrace the creative and conceptual traditions of modernism. Deeply informed by the function and process of painting throughout history, Korini creates a distinctly subjective prism that recontextualizes art historical currents, bringing to life a novel manifestation of a celebrated 20th century aesthetic.
The architecture of Korini's native Tirana serves as the visual underpinning of his works, his geometric abstractions recalling these architectural forms where the sharp angles and curved slopes of his formalistic spatial constructions create a mutability that is at once alluring and enigmatic.

Coley's toxins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Coley's Toxins)
Jump to: navigation, search
Coley's toxins (also called Coley's toxin,[1] Coley's vaccine,[2] Coley vaccine or mixed bacterial vaccine) is a mixture consisting of killed bacteria of species Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens, named after William Coley, a surgical oncologist who developed the mixture in the late 19th century as a treatment for cancer.[3]
History[edit]
Observations of a relationship between infection and cancer regression date back to at least the 18th century.[4][5][6] More specifically, observations of an apparent relationship between erysipelas and remission of cancer predate Coley.[7] For example, Anton Chekhov, in his capacity as a physician, recorded such a relationship in 1884.[8]
Coley started his investigations after the death of one of his first patients, Elizabeth Dashiell, from sarcoma. Dashiell was a close childhood friend of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who later indicated that her death was what first motivated his subsequent funding of cancer research.[9][10]
Frustrated by this case, Coley's subsequent research led him to announce evidence of the apparent relationship between infection and cancer regression, which he published in 1891.[11] His initial attempts at deliberate infection were mixed,[12] but in 1893 he began combining Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens, based upon research from G.H. Roger indicating that this combination led to greater virulence.[13]
Coley published the results of his work as a case series, making it difficult to interpret them with confidence. According to the American Cancer Society, "more research would be needed to determine what benefit, if any, this therapy might have for people with cancer".[14]
The so-called Coley's Toxins were used against different types of cancer from the year 1893[15] through the year 1963. From 1923 on, Parke-Davis was the only source of Coley's Toxins in the United States. In the wake of the thalidomide controversy and the Kefauver Harris Amendment of 1962, Coley's Toxins were assigned "new drug" status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), making it illegal to prescribe them outside of clinical trials.[16] Since then, several small clinical trials have been conducted with mixed results.[17]
Coley's Toxins were also produced by the small German pharmaceutical company Südmedica[18] and sold under the trade name Vaccineurin.[19] However, production ceased by 1990 because of a lack of re-approval by German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices.
According to Cancer Research UK, "available scientific evidence does not currently support claims that Coley's toxins can treat or prevent cancer".[20] People with cancer who take Coley's toxins alongside conventional cancer treatments, or who use it as a substitute for those treatments, risk seriously harming their health.[20]
Rationale[edit]
There are multiple rationales proposed for how Coley's toxins affect the patient.
Macrophages[edit]
One rationale argues that macrophages are either in "repair mode", furthering the growing of cancer, or in "defense mode", destroying cancer. However, macrophages are in "defense mode" only if there is some recognized enemy. As cancer tissue is not recognized as enemy (but as normal body tissue), there is a need to bring more macrophages into "defense mode" by simulating an infection. The simulated infection results in a real fever. Unlike hyperthermia, real fever not only means heating of the body but also higher activity of the immune system. Thus, fever is seen as a precondition for a therapy using Coley's Toxins to succeed.[4][21][22]
Tumor necrosis factor and interleukin[edit]
One of the agents in Coley's Toxin that is thought to be biologically active is a lipopolysaccharide which causes fever.[23] The resulting fever from the lipopolysaccaride is thought to increase lymphocyte activity and boosts tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Tsung and Norton in Surgical Oncology reported that the active agent was thought to be interleukin-12, rather than TNF.[24]
Streptokinase[edit]
Another hypothesis argues that streptokinase (produced by bacteria of type "streptococcus" together with plasminogen from the patient) is the active agent of Coley's toxins.[25][26] This hypothesis is supported by the fact that streptokinase has been associated with successful treatment of thromboangiitis obliterans.[27]
Anti-angiogenesis[edit]
In addition to the mechanisms above, Coley's toxins might be antiangiogenic – suppressing the formation of new blood vessels which are vital to the growth of tumors.,[28] however, angiogenesis is not a biochemical cause by itself but needs external triggers.
Dendritic cells[edit]
A robust fever, which occurs in response to Coley fluid, generates inflammatory factors with co-stimulatory activity, which activate resting dendritic cells (DC), leading to the activation of anergic T cells, possibly accomplished through a second process, where physical damage to cancer cells leads to a sudden supply of cancer antigens to the dendritic cell population.[4][21]
PAMP[edit]
Recently (2008), an immunological explanation binding together immunological data with findings about spontaneous regression and epidemiological data indicating a lowered risk to develop cancer later after common infections, has been published.[29] According to this hypothesis, pathogenic substances produced by bacteria, viruses, infectious fungi and other pathogens, but not human tissue, called 'pathogen associated molecular pattern' (PAMP) lead to activation and maturation of tumor-antigen loaded dendritic cells. One PAMP thought to play a major role is the unmethlyated CpG motif found in bacterial DNA. The CpG motif is recognized by toll like receptor 9 (TLR9) and can induce a strong TH1 response.
Availability[edit]
MBVax Bioscience, a Canadian Biotech company, produces Coley Fluid for research and clinical study.[30][31] A private biotech company, Coley Pharmaceutical Group, has conducted clinical trials using genetic sequences which may have contributed to Coley's toxin's effectiveness, and was acquired by Pfizer in January 2008.[32] In addition, the Waisbren Clinic in Wisconsin reports they have used Coley's toxin to treat patients since 1972.[33] Coley's toxins are generally not available where approval or licence is required (in particular in the United States and Germany).
Drug makers including Pfizer and Sanofi-Aventis are interested in modern versions of Coley's toxins;[34] Pfizer has acquired the Coley Pharmaceutical Group, set up in 1997[35]
Germany[edit]
Some specialized medical doctors in Germany apply Coley's toxins to patients. They can do so legally because, in Germany, unapproved medications may be produced, although they may not be sold or given away. Physicians can go to special laboratories and produce Coley's toxins there using their own hands. Coley's toxins may still be applied by a licensed medical doctor, because in Germany there is "Therapiefreiheit" ("therapy freedom"), the legal right to apply whichever therapy a physician considers to be appropriate in the light of their medical knowledge. For example, Dr Josef Issels used several unconventional and controversial treatments, including Coley's toxins, for cancer patients in the second half of the 20th century.
This kind of therapy is offered as "Fiebertherapie" (fever therapy) or better "Aktive Fiebertherapie" (active fever therapy). This term was introduced by E. Göhring in 1985.[36] Hyperthermia therapy or thermotherapy is not the same type of treatment, although sometimes incorrectly called "fever therapy".[citation needed]
Name[edit]
There are several names for Coley's toxins or Coley's vaccine. The reason may lie in the difficulty of classifying such a substance under the view of the established medicine:
 - Coley's vaccine is not a vaccine in the usual sense, namely that it prevents an infection. Rather than that, it triggers infection-like reactions. However, Coley's vaccine may work like many ordinary vaccines: it induces an immune response, in this case against the cancer. In this sense, it predates current attempts to develop cancer vaccines.
 - The term toxin is applied as Coley's toxins contain both endotoxins and exotoxins.[citation needed]
Politics[edit]
According to an article in the Iowa Orthopedic Journal, Coley's toxins were opposed by the medical establishment despite his reports of good results, because his reports were not believed to be credible.[37]

Instead of showing it for this particular case, it is actually less work to prove that the null space and row space are orthogonal complements (perpendicular) for any matrix 'A.' To do this, suppose that 'x in N(A),' so that 'Ax=0.' Also, the row space of 'A' is the same as the column space of 'A^T.' Thus 'y in R(A)' if and only if 'A^T bary=y' for some vector 'bary.' We must show that 'x*y=0,' and we can use the fact that 'x*y=x^Ty.' We get
'x^Ty=x^T(A^Tbary)=(x^TA^T)bary=(Ax)^Tbary=0^Tbary=0,' ''which is what we needed to show. See the link for a slightly different explanation.

Parallel corpus in different domains from domain of parallel training corpus, may have some sentences that are useful to use in training of system. These sentences have words and phrases that are occur in in-domain corpora too. The context of these sentences is more similar to context of parallel training corpora and is far from context of out-of-domain parallel corpora that are contain them. In these paper we suggest a method based on topic models to extract some sentences from out-of-do-main parallel corpora that their context are similar. We used these extracted sentences in training of system. We will show BLEU of the system will in-crease about 4.69 BLEU.

Do bananas contain starch?
Bananas and plantains (cooking bananas) are nowadays grown in all humid tropical regions. The bananas are picked green from the trees, shipped and kept from ripening until they reach the shops. Imperfectly ripened bananas are composed of starch; but as the natural ripening proceeds, the starchy material is converted into dextrin and glucose.
The cooking banana is larger, coarser and less sweet than the kinds that are generally eaten raw. Its starch content is about 25%.

Have you ever thought how jellyfish babies get born? And what does a hermit crab got anything to do with 'em?
This particular animal is called Podocoryna carnea. Like most jellies and close relatives of jellies, it has a pretty elaborate life cycle. This one involves a free swimming jellyfish, and a larva that swims around then lands on the back of a hermit crab's shell. Then the larva metamorphoses into a polyp, which buds more polyps, growing into a whole colony on the crab's back. The colony is made up of lots of polyps that are all connected and share fluid through a web of tubes that circulate partially digested food. Some members of this colony will eventually bud new swimming jellyfish.

Legislative Council Set to Review 2014 Ballot Analyses
By Julie Pelegrin and Cathy Eslinger
LegiSource acknowledges and thanks the Legislative Council Staff for their significant input on this article.
The Legislative Council Committee will meet Wednesday, Sept. 3, to review analyses of the four measures that the secretary of state has certified to the 2014 general election ballot. Two of the measures would amend the constitution: Amendment 67 would define "person" and "child" for purposes of the Colorado criminal code and wrongful death statutes; and Amendment 68 would allow casino gambling at horse race tracks. The other two measures would amend the Colorado Revised Statutes: Proposition 104 would specify that local school board meetings concerning collective bargaining negotiations or employment negotiations must be open to the public; and Proposition 105 would require the labeling of genetically modified food, beginning July 1, 2016.
As required by the state constitution and by statute the Legislative Council Staff (LCS) has been working for weeks to prepare the analyses to help the public understand the purpose and effect of each measure. Following the Legislative Council's review, the LCS will mail the analyses, printed in the familiar "blue book," to each registered-voter household in the state. bluebook Also, the LCS maintains a blue book website – _URL_ – that includes drafts of the analyses and the text of each measure.
The LCS prepares a blue book before each general election for which initiated or referred constitutional or statutory amendments or questions are certified to the ballot. The analysis of each measure includes a summary of the measure, the major arguments for and against the measure, and a brief fiscal assessment of the measure. The analysis may also include other information that can help voters understand the measure's purpose and effect.
Each analysis typically goes through three drafts. But, depending on the complexity of the measure and the time available, some may require only two drafts. The LCS meets with proponents and opponents of the measure and writes the first draft using the information provided by them as well as information obtained through the LCS's own research. The goal is to write an analysis that is concise, readable for a layperson, and factually correct.
The LCS posts the draft analyses on the blue book website, and any person may file written comments for staff to consider in preparing the second or third draft. The staff considers all comments and proposed amendments submitted by the established deadlines, but use discretion in changing the analysis. Some of the criteria for making proposed changes to the analysis include:
- Avoiding slogan-type language that triggers a response but does not contribute to greater understanding of the measure;
- Ensuring that statements are verifiable statements of fact rather than mere opinion, directly applicable to the measure, and not misleading;
- Ensuring that the language specifically strengthens or clarifies the arguments and is not repetitive;
- Maintaining the balance of the analysis between the opposing sides; and
- Avoiding language that is more appropriate for the campaigns conducted by the opposing sides.
As part of the analysis, the LCS also prepares a fiscal impact statement for each measure, taking into consideration fiscal impact information submitted by various state and local agencies, proponents and opponents, and other interested persons. The blue book will include a summary of each measure's fiscal assessment. The full fiscal impact statement for each measure will be available on the blue book website. At a minimum, the summary must include:
- An estimate of the measure's effect on state and local government revenues, expenditures, taxes, and fiscal liabilities;
- An estimate of the amount of any state and local government recurring expenditures or fiscal liabilities; and
- For a measure that modifies the state tax laws, an estimate of the impact to the average taxpayer, if feasible.
The LCS submits the final draft of each analysis to the Legislative Council Committee, which holds a public hearing to review the analyses. Anyone who is interested in testifying on the accuracy or fairness of an analysis may do so at this public hearing. The Legislative Council may change the language of an analysis upon a two-thirds affirmative vote of the council members. Before the public hearing, the LCS will post on the blue book website information for each analysis that includes the final draft, any amendments submitted to the final draft, a list of persons who had opportunity to comment on the last draft, and the text of the measure.
Following the public hearing, the LCS will mail copies of the blue book to each registered-voter household in the state. This year, the scheduled mailing date is Oct. 3.

The Coke-bed sludge melting process is used for incinerating sewage sludge and producing slag that is recycled as construction materials. The behavior of ash exiting the melting furnace was examined. Heating tests were carried out with different kinds of sludge. Heating from 600°C to 1200°C, weight reduction of around 30% was measured, but reduction rate was due to the kind of sludge. Weight reduction was big when heating up to 815°C, and reduction at a temperature over 815°C was due to the type of sludge. Main materials causing weight reduction were unburnt carbon (C) and some other elements like sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl), some metals like sodium (Na), potassium (K) and oxygen (O) released from some kinds of oxides. Even though very small quantity, zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) were also vaporized. Some of these vaporized substances precipitate and produce fine particle dust at the low-temperature section of gas treatment facilities. Washing harmless salts out from the dust then recycling the dewatered dust in the melting furnace was found to be effective in maximizing slag recovery and reducing the precipitator load.

Regional Spotlight: Utah
Apples have always been an important fruit crop in Utah, with early pioneers bringing seedlings to the region as early as the mid-19th century. Through trial and error, the best locations for growing the fruit were eventually determined to be on the beautiful hillsides along the Wasatch Front in central Utah.
Today, more than 90 percent of the apples grown in the state come from an area of the Wasatch Front called the Utah Valley. While the majority of these apples are grown by a core group of about 10 growers, several smaller orchards reside throughout the state, and all are united in their effort to sell local. Echoed by Utahans' hunger to buy local, the shared sentiment means as much as 70 percent of the apple crop stays within state lines each year.
That sense of pride is seen in the handiwork of the orchardists, who raise and harvest many high-quality apple varieties, including Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Jonathans, Jonagold and Honey Crisp.

Tags hobbyhorses, crafts, sports, hobbies, children, young people, riding, keppihevoset, lapset, nuoret, harrastukset
Practitioners and people who know the tradition well
Thousands of children and young people all around Finland are hobby horse enthusiasts. They are usually of school age or older, and the nature of the hobby usually depends on the enthusiast's age and the aspect of the hobby they are interested in. Commonly, people who no longer feel like they play with hobby horses but instead participate in the hobby regularly and in a goal-oriented way are considered to be hobby horse enthusiasts. There is no accurate information about how many enthusiasts the hobby has, because only a few have reported on listings or are members of an association. According to the most optimistic estimates, Finland alone may have more than 10,000 enthusiasts.
Hobby horse activities are promoted by the Finnish Hobbyhorse Association (Suomen Keppihevosharrastajat ry).

Hobby horses represent an extremely versatile hobby, and everyone can pick the parts they want, creating a hobby they like best. Essential parts of it include making the hobby horses, riding, communality, and competitions. The hobby mimics riding live horses, and in fact, you can practise all aspects of riding with a hobby horse.
Hobby horses as a hobby are based on the enthusiasts' own initiative, which makes the hobby very free-form. There are no hard and fast rules: anyone can enjoy the hobby in the way they like. Hobby horses are also suitable for people who cannot or do not want to ride. Others organise competitions, training events and coaching.
Almost all hobby horse enthusiasts make hobby horses in the course of their hobby. You can make a hobby horse in any way you can imagine: sock horses are made out of socks, felt horses are felted, and traditional fabric horses are sewn out of fabric. Fabric horses are often divided into two-and three-piece horses, depending on whether a middle piece has been used to make the hobby horse or not. The horses are also divided into those with and without a mouth. Many enthusiasts focus on making and selling hobby horses, and they try to create horses that are as realistic as possible.
You can practise any kind of equestrian sport with a hobby horse. Traditionally, the most popular sports have been show jumping and dressage.

In show jumping, the horse and the rider jump over a set show-jumping course, and faults are received for any railings that are knocked over. The classes can be judged based on time or style. In dressage, participants are judged on the ability of the horse and the rider to complete a predetermined programme as accurately and realistically as possible, just like riders with live horses.
In addition to competitions, hobby horse enthusiasts also organise coaching events and camps for each other in different parts of Finland. Most events are organised by children and young people, and at other times, they are organised by clubs or associations. The Finnish Hobbyhorse Association organises Finnish national championships in show jumping and dressage for hobby horses every year.
Enthusiasts keep in touch with each other via social media, and they meet at events and competitions. Online shows and competitions are also an important part of the hobby.
The background and history of the tradition
Children have played with hobby horses for millennia. In the late 1900s, the game started to become a hobby in small concentrated areas in different parts of Finland. In the early 2000s, hobby horse enthusiasts started to gather together in online discussion forums and websites. An unofficial hobby horse association was established in 2004, and it was later registered as Suomen Keppihevosharrastajat ry (the Finnish Hobbyhorse Association). As social media became more popular, hobby horses spread out further and further over the internet, and the general public became more aware of them.
The transmission of the tradition

Most of the hobby horse activities take place online, where the enthusiasts meet, share tips and agree on meetings. For the younger generations, social media is a natural channel for sharing information and learning about the hobby, while also passing on the hobby horse tradition. Hobby horse competitions, camps, lessons and coaching play an important part in passing on skills and knowledge. The Finnish Hobbyhorse Association also offers its members training and information about the hobby.
The future of the tradition
The number of hobby horse enthusiasts has grown rapidly in the recent years, and that number shows no sign of diminishing. With the lists it keeps, the Finnish Hobbyhorse Association aims to map the number of enthusiasts and offer a hub where they can meet. The enthusiasm of hobby horse enthusiasts is also increased by the annual show jumping and dressage championships for hobby horses; the association has organised them since 2012.

Extensive cell phone use can cause progressive hearing loss, according to a new study presented at a scientific conference in Washington. The study, conducted by researchers in India, found high frequency hearing loss among users who talked for more than an hour a day for four years on their cell phones, reports WebMD.
"Our intention is not to scare the public," said one researcher. "We need to study a larger number of patients." A spokesman for the cell phone industry dismissed the research. "There have been numerous studies that show no association between wireless usage and adverse health effects," he said.

Last Week's Question
Of the following choices, the best material to use to shield a 60 Hz magnetic field is,
- either "b" or "c"
The correct answer is "b". None of these materials has a high enough conductivity to block a magnetic field using eddy currents at 60 Hz. The best remaining option is to redirect the field using a material with a high relative permeability. The relative permeability of copper and lead is close to 1 (about the same as plastic or air). The only material in this list that potentially has a high relative permeability is steel.

Pocket Humidity Anemometer - 8918AZ
The pocket size 8918 AZ Air flow Meter has the Swiss knife shape, which could be opened with 90 degree on the tripod, or 180 degree fully opened to handle easily. The pocket-knife design makes it convenient and portable, easy to use and to get a precision reading.
The 8918 AZ wind speed meter can measure the Wind Speed, Windchill, Temp., Humidity and Dew point temperature.
The Windchill temperature is referred to as the "feels like" temperature. It is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by the effects of wind and cold. As the wind increases, the body is cooled at a faster rate causing the skin temperature to drop. Wind Chill does not impact inanimate objects like car radiators and exposed water pipes, because these objects cannot cool below the actual air temperature.
AZ 8918 RH% Mini Wind speed Meter features:
- Small, compact design
- Display air velocity and temperature or temperature and windchill
- Wind speed units switchable
- KNT (knot), BF (beau fort), FPM (feet per minute),
- MPH (mile per hour), MPS (meter per second), KPH (kilometer per hour)
- Water-resistant and shock proof
- Tripod mountable
- Measure relative humidity and dew point

A Glitch in the Color Matrix
"How can you be in two places at once, when you're not anywhere at all." I encountered this phrase in high school when my classmates introduced me to the Firesign Theatre comedy recordings. I believe it is an appropriate thought to have when trying to map and understand the organization of pigments by color index number that belongs to the domain of the Society of Dyers and Colourists.
While some hues we see match the color index number across whatever brand of paint you might select, some colors defy this method of organization. I doubt you will not find a brand of oil paint called Ultramarine or French Ultramarine Blue that is not PB 29.
For the uninitiated, pigment manufacturers abide by chemical composition and use cases when registering pigments with the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC). This provides a standardization so that end product makers can be assured of some semblance of order in what would be a chaotic, self-determined method of naming pigment hues. The SDC has a "shorthand" method of expressing what pigment belongs in which hue category along with a rough idea of when the pigment was catalogued.
PY = Yellow, PO = Orange, PR = Red, PV = Violet, PB = Blue, PG = Green, PBr = Brown, PBk= Black, PW = White. As you can see Blue "won" the right to use the letter "B" since Brown and Black would also have required the same letter. The numbers next to the color hue record when the pigment was entered into the SDC catalog. When first organized, the ancient pigments received the lower numbers, followed by newer pigments as they appeared over time.
A major part of the SDC cataloging process is to place pigments into the hue group that share the same chemistry. The only problem is that the same chemicals, manipulated in different ways (basically a different "recipe" using the same ingredients) can make a pigment using the same color index number be in two different hue categories. So, using the color index number as the sole determining factor for organizing color groups will not work.
For this essay, I will only illustrate the color index confusion surrounding PB 28 – Oxides of Cobalt and Aluminum. Several paint makers have this color in their oil paint line appropriately called "Cobalt Teal" or "Teal Green."
However, for those familiar with color index numbers, you are saying, Wait a minute. You are mistaken. PB 28 is our old and reliable Cobalt Blue and you would be absolutely correct. Paint makers are correct in labeling both Cobalt Teal and Cobalt Blue using the same color index number.
What makes matters a bit more confusing is that PG 50 also has a similar hue appearance to Teal Green but it is made with Oxides of Nickel, Cobalt and Titanium, a different chemistry that yield a hue that looks much like Cobalt Teal or Teal Green.
For those interested in the chemical process, high heat is the energy used to combine the elements into a substance that once cooled can be ground into pigment. Cobalt Blue has a chemical formula: CoAl2O4. Adjust the ratio of cobalt and aluminum to some degree and the pigment color resembles a blue-green hue.
Inorganic pigments, like cobalt, have a fascinating history that we will explore sometime in the future. Perhaps the facts and fantasy surrounding kobold ore, German for "goblin ore," with a focus on the creatures that inhabited the mines will make for a good Halloween time period essay. As always, the "devil" is in the details.

Iridium-191 Information
Iridium is a very hard and brittle, silvery metallic transition element. It has a yellowish cast to it. Salts of iridium are highly colored. It is the most corrosion resistant metal known, not attacked by any acid, but is attacked by molten salts. There are 2 natural stable isotopes of iridium. Totally iridium has 39 isotopes. The most stable being Ir-192 with a half-life of 73.83 days. Ir-192 decays into Platinum, while some radioisotopes decay into Osmium. Iridium is used in high temperature apparatus, electrical contacts. Iridium was discovered by Smithson Tennant in England in 1803. The name Iridium comes from the Greek word Iris, which means rainbow. Iridium metal is generally non-toxic due to its relative unreactivity, but iridium compounds should be considered highly toxic.
Iridium is used with osmium to tip gold pen points, to make crucible and special containers. It is used also to make alloys applied for standard weights and measures, and heat-resistant alloys. Iridium is used as hardening agent for platinum too.

How to get rid of maggots in your wheelie bin
Including all-natural ways to stop maggots in their tracks
how to get rid of maggots in your wheelie bin
Dmitriy Pridannikov / EyeEmGetty Images
Are you wondering how to get rid of maggots in your wheelie bin? A maggot infestation in your wheelie bin isn't uncommon, but it's also not nice. Luckily, there are ways to quickly and safely stop maggots in their tracks.
Maggots are fly larvae, usually of the common house fly. Attracted to food and other rubbish, you will only have a problem with maggots if flies have easy access to your waste and dustbins. If flies settle on your rubbish, they may lay eggs which can hatch out as maggots within 24 hours.
While maggots and flies can become a problem any time of the year, they are especially prevalent during spring and summer when flies are more active. Generally, maggots live for around five to six days before turning into pupae and eventually transitioning into adult flies.
We asked David Cross, Head of Technical Training Academy at Rentokil Pest Control and Natalie Bungay, Technical Officer at the British Pest Control Association, to give us the lowdown on what maggots are, what causes them and how to get rid of them for good.
What are maggots?
"Maggot is the general name given to fly larvae," David says. "Like flies, there are many species of maggot. They have a distinctive conical shape and typically cream or light brown colouring, with a dark mark on their posterior end which is a breathing hole. Maggots do not have teeth – instead they have mandibles that help them grasp food that has been broken down by the ridges on the exterior of their bodies.
"Flies lay their eggs on food sources to enable larvae to start eating from the moment they hatch. Over the course of several days maggots feast and prepare to pupate – where they form a hard shell and become a fly. Flies can lay a large number of eggs at a time, so maggots are often seen in large groups, but they have cannibalistic tendencies. One study by University of Lausanne found that even though fruit flies are vegetarian, they have been known to eat other maggots if one becomes injured."
What causes maggots?
"Flies have a relatively short lifecycle and a quick gestation period," says David. "For a large portion of their lifecycle flies exist in the form of larvae (maggots).
"While the odd fly on your premises is unavoidable at times, the presence of maggots can be prevented. Flies lay their eggs in places that offer the best chances of survival, as a result you are most likely to see them in large clusters on food sources such as decomposing organic matter. Keeping your home, garden and driveway clean and ensuring bins are regularly emptied will go a long way to preventing maggots from appearing. Rentokil has also developed its Mini Fly Box, which can be fitted inside food waste bins, attracting and killing flies using an insecticide, before they have the opportunity to lay eggs on food waste."

Are maggots harmful to humans?
"Maggots are a delicacy in many parts of the world. However, consuming uncooked larvae can lead to bacterial poisoning as there is a chance they could have come in contact with faeces or rotting organic material," David says.
"While their adult counterparts are commonly known pests due to their irritating nature and their ability to spread disease, maggots can actually help save lives. Certain species of maggots, that are carefully and hygienically farmed in laboratories, can be used to feed on rotting flesh to help clear out bacteria infected tissue from wounds. Around the globe this treatment has helped to save countless limbs from being amputated. They can also be used in crime investigations to help estimate the time of death of a deceased person."
Natalie adds: "[Maggots] can cause contamination of food products which in turn is a violation of the food hygiene regulations. Depending upon their food source, they could contaminate food surfaces too which may in turn raise the risk of food poisoning."
Does salt kill maggots?
"The lifespan of a maggot is between 15 to 30 days, so if you want to get rid of them before they evolve into flies, you can try covering their food source with salt to eliminate their access to water," David says. "This method tends to be effective when the pests are confined to a small area, however it may not be as effective in a more open space as the maggots can travel to find a new food source."
Are there natural ways to get rid of maggots?
"If the maggot issue is contained, there are a few options you can try to get rid of them naturally," says David. "For example, pouring boiling water over the problem area, drawing maggots in with a container of beer, or using a vinegar and water mixture to kill them, can work in some instances. However, as with most natural remedies, these will only be effective if you are facing a small infestation. If the problem persists it's always advisable to consult a professional pest controller. Parasitic wasps can also be helpful in areas prone to heavy fly activity such as landfill sites or slurry pits, as they will feed on the maggots. However, it is debatable how successful this is as a form of pest control."
Natalie adds: "Identify what the maggots are feeding on, clean/clear this up (along with the maggots themselves) and dispose of it in a sealed bag in an external bin. By removing the food source of the maggot, you will deprive any remaining maggots and they will not be able to grow or survive. Regular cleaning, good hygiene and vacuuming will help control and prevent."

What to do if you have a maggot infestation in your wheelie bin?
"As with most pest issues, prevention is better than a cure, so ensuring your bin is sealed and food scraps are covered in the first instance can prevent maggots from arriving altogether," David says. "If you do find your wheelie bin facing a maggot problem, you should arrange for it to be cleaned out thoroughly the next time it is emptied. Also Rentokil's Mini Fly Box helps to kill flies inside your bins, preventing them from laying the eggs which hatch into maggots."
Natalie adds: "Get your bin emptied and wash it out. Don't put lose food waste in the bin, make sure it is always bagged up/sealed so that flies cannot get access to lay their eggs.
"Remember, if you're having trouble with maggots that you can't deal with yourself, call in a professional. They'll be able to find the source of the infestation and treat without the risk of further damage. Qualified, audited and insured pest management companies can be found on the BPCA website."

, such as multiple packet resends or more than expected reconnections.
Example collector destination topologies
You can use Packet Mirroring in various setups. The following examples show the location of collector destinations and their policies for different packet mirroring configurations, such as VPC Network Peering and Shared VPC.
Collector destination in the same network
The following example shows a packet mirroring configuration where the mirrored source and collector destination are in the same VPC network.
In the preceding diagram, the packet mirroring policy is configured to mirror
subnet-a and send mirrored traffic to the internal load balancer.
Google Cloud mirrors the traffic on existing and future instances in the
subnet. All traffic to and from the internet, on-premises hosts, or Google
services is mirrored.
Collector destination in a peer network
You can build a centralized collector model, where instances in different VPC networks send mirrored traffic to a central VPC network. That way, you don't need to build a destination collector in each network. The central VPC network hosts one or more collector destinations where all mirrored traffic is sent.
You can achieve this scenario by using VPC Network Peering. All VPC networks that include mirrored sources must be peered with the central network.
VPC networks can be in the same project or in different projects. For each peer VPC network, you must create a packet mirroring policy. In this case, the policy is in the project that contains the central network. The policy can also be in a project that has a network that is peered with the central network.
In the preceding diagram, the collector destination collects mirrored traffic
from subnets in two different networks. All resources (the source and
destination) must be in the same region. The setup in
network-a is similar to
the example where the mirrored source and collector destination are in the same
policy-1 is configured to collect
subnet-a and send it to
policy-2 is configured in
project-a but specifies
subnet-b as a mirrored
network-b are peered, the destination
collector can collect traffic from
The networks are in different projects and might have different owners. It's possible for either owner to create the packet mirroring policy if they have the right permissions:
If the owners of
project-acreate the packet mirroring policy, they must have the
compute.packetMirroringAdminrole on the network, subnet, or instances to mirror in
If the owners of
project-bcreate the packet mirroring policy, they must have
For more information about enabling private connectivity across two VPC networks, see VPC Network Peering.
In the following Shared VPC scenarios, the mirrored instances for the collector destination are all in the same Shared VPC network. Even though the resources are all in the same network, they can be in different projects, such as the host project or several different service projects. The following examples show where packet mirroring policies must be created and who can create them.
If both the mirrored sources and collector destination are in the same project, either in a host project or service project, the setup is similar to having everything in the same VPC network. The project owner can create all the resources and set the required permissions in that project.
For more information, see Shared VPC overiew.
Collector destination in service project
In the following example, the collector destination is in a service project that uses a subnet in the host project. In this case, the policy is also in the service project. The policy could also be in the host project.
In the preceding diagram, the service project contains the collector instances
that use the collector subnet in the Shared VPC network. The packet
mirroring policy was created in the service project and is configured to mirror
instances that have a network interface in
Service or host project users can create the packet mirroring policy. To do so,
users must have the
compute.packetMirroringUser role in the service project
where the collector destination is located. Users must also have the
compute.packetMirroringAdmin role on the mirrored sources.
Collector destination in host project
In the following example, the collector destination is in the host project and mirrored instances are in the service projects.
This example might apply to scenarios where developers deploy applications in service projects and use the Shared VPC network. They don't have to manage the networking infrastructure or Packet Mirroring. Instead, a centralized networking or security team, who have control over the host project and Shared VPC network, are responsible for provisioning packet mirroring policies.
In the preceding diagram, the packet mirroring policy is created in the host project, where the collector destination is located. The policy is configured to mirror instances in the mirrored subnet. VM instances in service projects can use the mirrored subnet, and their traffic is mirrored.
Service or host project users can create the packet mirroring policy. To do so,
users in the service project must have the
compute.packetMirroringUser role in
the host project. Users in the host project require the
compute.packetMirroringAdmin role for mirrored sources in the service
Multi-interface VM instances
You can include VM instances that have multiple network interfaces in a packet mirroring policy. Because a policy can mirror resources from a single network, you cannot create one policy to mirror traffic for all network interfaces of an instance. If you wanted to mirror other network interfaces, you must create a policy for each interface because each one is in a different network.

Langkawi, although many might be unfamiliar with the name, is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world by those that are aware of the place. Located some thirty kilometres off the coast of Malaysia, Langkawi offers a tropical paradise, with bountiful beauty and many Langkawi resorts to choose from such as the Berjaya Langkawi Resort.
Langkawi's stunning mix of lush rainforests and mountainous landscapes combine to create some truly unforgettable terrain as far as trekking is concerned. The flora and fauna to be glimpsed on the island are also incredibly diverse. When it comes to birds alone, there are more than two hundred species to be discovered on the island. There are also more than four hundred varieties of plant life on the island, with some colossal trees that have been in existence for hundreds of years.
One of the best trails is the Langkawi Rainforest Trek which is on the Gunung Raya mountain, Langkawi's highest peak. The trek can take place in both night and day times. If you wish to glimpse the many animals present in the park, then the day time trek is the best. Ideally you will be able to see giant squirrels, leaf monkeys, and eagles. Night-time creatures also include flying squirrels and flying foxes.
There's also a trek you can undertake through the UNESCO World Heritage Geo-Park of Mount Mat Cincang. The mountain itself is around five-hundred-million years old, and contains most of the species to be seen in the whole of Langkawi, providing an extremely comprehensive experience.
These are but two of the trekking locations available for your hiking leisure on Langkawi, and there are many more to choose from, so if you ever find yourself on Langkawi, waste no time and take the island for all it's worth.

Correctness by Construction
Correctness by Construction is a radical, effective and economical method of building software with high integrity especially for security-critical and safety-critical applications. It produces software with extremely low defect rates – fewer than 0.1 defects per thousand lines of code – with good productivity – up to around 30 lines of code per day.
At Praxis Critical Systems Anthony Hall and colleagues developed Correctness by Construction to unify a number of ideas:
It brings these strands together into a process framework and a set of principles for developing software intensive systems. It has been applied successfully in several projects such as the MULTOS CA, and is cited by the National Cyber Security Partnership as one of only three methods that are capable of producing software with the low defect rates needed for secure systems.

|Using the 1948 Universal Declaration as a point of departure, HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS examines whether images of political struggle, suffering and victims of violence work for or against humanitarian objectives, especially when considering questions of race, representation, ethical responsibility and the cultural position of the photographer.|
Featuring more than 300 original prints from the prestigious Black Star Collection, HUMAN RIGHTS HUMAN WRONGS begins circa 1945 and includes photographs of well-known Civil Rights Movement events such as the Selma to Montgomery March and Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. The exhibition also features images of the independence movements in many African countries, a selection of portraits of Nobel Peace Prize winners, and photographs, magazines and books which document protests, war and conflict from the Vietnam War to the Rwandan Genocide in 1994.
The exhibition functions as a catalytic enquiry into photojournalistic practice, addressing the legacy of how photographs have historically functioned in raising awareness of international conflict. It critically considers the cultural meaning these photographs produce, how inhumane acts are rendered photographically for us to look at, and the visual legacy they leave behind. We see the wide dissemination of photographic images of humankind in abject, euphoric or violently explicit conditions. How do these images assist us in understanding the case for civil and human rights?

conch: mrBayes output interrogator (COnstraint CHecker)
Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples
View source: R/pastis.R
Description
This function examines mrBayes output from a pastis run to examine where in the original constraint tree missing taxa have been placed
Usage
1
2
 conch(constraint_tree, mrbayes_output,
 simple_edge_scaling = TRUE, species_set = NA)
Arguments
constraint_tree
the constraint tree used with pastis (either the filename or ape phylo tree)
mrbayes_output
the mrBayes output .t file (either the filename or ape multiPhylo tree object)
simple_edge_scaling
boolean, see function description
species_set
if specified, this should be a list of species and output trees will only be generated for these species (the default is all missing species)
Details
An analysis of the placement of each taxon not contained in the constraint tree is conducted. For each such taxon the edge lengths in the constraint tree are adjusted according to the parameter edge_scaling. If simple_edge_scaling is TRUE, the edges will have length 0 if a taxon is never descendant from a tree and 1 if it is descendant in at least one tree. If FALSE, indicate the proportion of sampled trees in which the taxon is descendant from that edge.
The output from this function is useful for checking that missing taxa are placed in appropriate positions relative to the original constraint tree.
Note that this routine has not been optimised and slow (possibly unacceptable) performance is to be expected with large trees and/or large posterior samples.
Value
NULL. A file for each missing taxon is created in the current directory

David, Jonathan, Churchill, and Roosevelt
I've been taking "Historical Methods and Research" this semester. The whole class basically centers around this big paper we each have to write. Each week, we review two students' rough drafts. Each of us gives a formal review of two other students' papers. Doing my paper is what has kept me from writing anything fresh for a while. I'm done with my paper now, so not only can I write a few fresh things, but I can also engage in my bow-making obsession.
Today, we reviewed a guy who wrote his paper on how Winston Churchill agressively courted the friendship of Franklin Roosevelt. There was something in his paper that reminded me of the friendship between David and Jonathan. There's a lot of people who think the relationship between David and Jonathan was homosexual. One proof text that always comes up is when David said to Jonathan, "Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women."
In the paper we read today, the guy quoted Churchill who said, "No lover ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt." I wonder if, 3000 years from now, some people will begin to argue that the relationship between Churchill and Roosevelt was also homosexual.

Operational procedures at U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations include periodic leveling checks to ensure that gages are accurately set to the established gage datum. Differential leveling techniques are used to determine elevations for reference marks, reference points, all gages, and the water surface. The techniques presented in this manual provide guidance on instruments and methods that ensure gaging-station levels are run to both a high precision and accuracy. Levels are run at gaging stations whenever differences in gage readings are unresolved, stations may have been damaged, or according to a pre-determined frequency. Engineer's levels, both optical levels and electronic digital levels, are commonly used for gaging-station levels. Collimation tests should be run at least once a week for any week that levels are run, and the absolute value of the collimation error cannot exceed 0.003 foot/100 feet (ft).
An acceptable set of gaging-station levels consists of a minimum of two foresights, each from a different instrument height, taken on at least two independent reference marks, all reference points, all gages, and the water surface. The initial instrument height is determined from another independent reference mark, known as the origin, or base reference mark. The absolute value of the closure error of a leveling circuit must be less than or equal to ft, where n is the total number of instrument setups, and may not exceed |0.015| ft regardless of the number of instrument setups. Closure error for a leveling circuit is distributed by instrument setup and adjusted elevations are determined. Side shots in a level circuit are assessed by examining the differences between the adjusted first and second elevations for each objective point in the circuit. The absolute value of these differences must be less than or equal to 0.005 ft. Final elevations for objective points are determined by averaging the valid adjusted first and second elevations. If final elevations indicate that the reference gage is off by |0.015| ft or more, it must be reset.

UCL Energy Institute
Jenny is a Research Associate in Energy and Buildings at UCL Energy Institute, and is part of the RCUK Centre for Energy Epidemiology. Her research interests include the design and execution of socio-technical research into domestic energy use, in-use building performance, building physics and methods of building energy modelling.
Jenny worked for two years as a Consultant at Element Energy, a low carbon energy consultancy carrying out rigorous mathematical analysis to help provide a sound evidence base for clients to make decisions on low carbon strategy. Jenny was hired as a built environment specialist and carried out modelling and analysis for clients including DECC, the CCC, energy companies and charities. Example projects included: creation of a dynamic model of a micro-CHP system interacting with a house, zonal simulation of different heating systems in a historic palace to protect the building without a high energy penalty and technoeconomic modelling of the integration of heat pumps in district heating networks.
Jenny's training in the field of energy demand came from her PhD at the LoLo Centre for energy demand reduction in the built environment, where she studied how energy efficient building retrofit might change occupants' heating behaviour. Her work focussed on integrating technical evidence from sensors and social data from occupants to discern how increase in internal temperature comes about when homes are retrofitted. She was able to challenge the conventional physics-based and economic approaches to retrofit, proposing a socio-technical approach instead.
Jenny holds an MSc in Environmental Design and Engineering at UCL and a Physics degree at the University of Oxford. Between these courses she spent a year volunteering with a Christian Organisation.

A rare maia hapai — Hawaiian pregnant banana — underwent a pseudo-cesarean section Saturday revealing the compacted and glistening fruit in the banana's trunk.
As Amy B. H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden Manager Peter Van Dyke sliced open the swollen banana tree's trunk, a foul smelling liquid poured out and slender, tightly held-together bananas and a coiled stem emerged. It's a rare event for a rare plant that bears its fruit within its stem just once, maybe twice a year, at the Captain Cook gardens, which have three to four patches of the maia hapai variety.
The maia hapai is a variety found in Hawaii and areas of Polynesia, said Van Dyke. It falls within the musa genus, which includes most species that produce edible bananas as well as dwarf and ornamental species, he said.
Normally, the pregnant banana variety bears fruit through the top of its stem, however, the variety periodically bears the fruit within its stem. Because the tree grows from a main underground stem, or rhizome, it doesn't require sexual reproduction giving way for the bananas to form within the plant, he said.
For every time the banana bears its fruit within its stem, the maia hapai bears fruit 20 to 30 times normally, Van Dyke said. It takes about eight to nine months to reach maturity and the fruit is edible, but doesn't have the same flavor as a fully developed, ripe banana.
Not much is known about why the plant occasionally bears fruit within its stem, Van Dyke said. However, research has suggested that it is a genetic virus or mutation passed through the plant that seems to choke off its ability to push the fruit through the stem.
"Other bananas can and do, but this type will do it every now and then," he said. "It is more regular with the maia hapai."

Discuss this RFC: Send questions or comments to the mailing list [email protected]
The Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) is a component of the IPsec architecture and is used to perform mutual authentication as well as to establish and to maintain IPsec Security Associations (SAs) between the respective parties. IKEv2 supports several different authentication mechanisms, such as the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), certificates, and Shared Key (SK).
Diameter interworking for Mobile IPv6 between the Home Agent (HA), as a Diameter client, and the Diameter server has been specified. However, that specification focused on the usage of EAP and did not include support for SK-based authentication available with IKEv2. This document specifies the IKEv2-server-to-Diameter-server communication when the IKEv2 peer authenticates using IKEv2 with SK. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

A drawing major is essentially a fine arts major. Drawing majors will increase their ability to perceive the visual world and learn to better articulate their self-expression. A drawing major will acquire a strong foundation in fine arts as well as a deeper understanding of the importance of visual language. This program will prepare students for graduate work.
Majors in Drawing must earn a grade of "C" or better in all courses in the program. Courses in which a major has earned less than a grade of "C" must be repeated.
