Question: English & Literature
How does Sam try to educate them and what lessons does he teach?
sam from master harold and the boys what lessons does he teach hally and willie
In English & Literature | Asked by jebosley
Asked from the Master Harold...and the Boys study pack
Best Answer
First of all, Sam is a black man, he has no real education except from what he has learned from Hally. But Sam is curious and has a strong personnality.
For willie, I'd say he is litteraly trying to teach him how to dance, That'd be the first thing you'd see but deeper, there's also the No-collision world part where they say that life is a sort of dance without music to guide them, maybe he's trying to open their minds. Don't forget about the violence willie imposes on his girlfriend and how Sam tells him what to do.
For Hally there are many things he has been teaching him, first when they talk about the men of magnitude. They both give the men they'd "like to be like" or they admire, and they talk about religion. But I think that Sam isn't directly giving a lesson in that part buut more likely in the end. When they get in a fight, maybe to make Hally realize that he is wrong acting and saying horribles things about his father, and then being mean to willie to hurt Sam.
I don't think that's all of it, but it's quite a start, sorry for the mistakes I might have made, I'm not english and my english isn't that good :/
Hope I helped :]

We need to prune and trim the guava tree regularly to encourage the growth of large, high-quality guava at the edges of the trees.
Normally guava trees has to be trimmed between November and December during winter season and between March and April during spring season.
While pruning the guava tree we should select a single trunk, and 3 to 4 lateral branches and remove all other shoots
Also Prune out crossing and inward-heading branches.
While pruning the guava tree, make sure you cut the lateral branches in an angle so that so water doesn't stand on it and cause damage to the branches.
After completing pruning for guava tree, make sure you fertilize the guave tree with organic cattle compost and we can expect guava harvest in the next five months
Prune your guava tree every six months to maintain its symmetry and remove excessive growth.
Also remove Diseased branches and suckers can be removed at any time of year.

3.5.1: Material Properties
The component "MatProps" lets one directly define isotropic and orthotropic materials. Use the dropdown menu at the bottom of the component to chose between ortho- and isotropic materials.
Isotropic Material Properties
Fig. 3.5.1.1: Definition of the properties of two isotropic materials via the "Material Properties" component
In Fig. 3.5.1.1 selection of the second material from the resulting list can be made (bottom right component) or selection from the default material table (top right component). Material isotropy means that the material's behaviour does not change with direction. Karamba3D uses the following parameters to characterize an isotropic material (see fig. 3.5.1.1):
"Family"
Family name of the material (e.g. "steel"); is used for selecting materials from a list.
"Name"
Name of the material (e.g. "S235"); serves as identification when selecting materials from a list.
"Elem|Id"
An element with an identifier, a string containing an identifier or a regular expression that depicts the elements that shall have the specified material.
"Color"
Color of the material. In order to see it, enable "Materials" in submenu "Colors" of the "ModelView"-component, then enable "Cross section" in submenu "Render Settings" of the "BeamView"- and/or "ShellView"-component.
"E"
Young's Modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): characterizes the stiffness of the material.
"G12"
In-plane shear modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): In case of isotropic materials the following constraint applies:
E/3<G12<E/2E/3<G_{12}<E/2
. In case this condition is not fulfilled, the structure may show strange behaviour.
"G13"
Transverse shear modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): Is the same as
G12G_{12}
in case of isotropic materials like e.g. steel. This value can be chosen independently from
EE
. In case of e.g. wood, the value may be much smaller than
G12G_{12}
.
"gamma"
Specific weight (
kN/cm3kN/cm^3
)
"alphaT"
Coefficient of thermal expansion (
1/°C1/°C
)
"ft"
Tensile strength of the material (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
) - a positive value
"fc"
Compressive strength of the material (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
) - a negative value
"S-Hypo"
Index of the strength hypothesis to be used. Use 'Expand ValueLists' from the components context menu for selecting between these options: 0: Von Mises, 1: Tresca, 2: Rankine
In case of temperature changes materials expand or shorten. "alphaT" sets the increase of strain per degree Celsius of an unrestrained element. For steel the value is
1.0E5(1.0E5=1.0105=0.00001)1.0E 5(1.0E 5 = 1.-0 10−5 = 0.00001)
. Therefore an unrestrained steel rod of length
10m10 m
lengthens by
1mm1 mm
under an increase of temperature of
10°C10 °C
. "alphaT" enters calculations when temperature loads are present.
The utilization of cross sections as displayed by the "BeamView"-component (see section 3.6.7) is the ratio of actual stress and the tensile or compressive strength respectively. In case of shells, utilization is determined as the ratio of the result of the strength Hypotheses (as computed from the stresses in the shell) and the tensil or compressive strengh (see section 3.6.11).
Cross section optimization (see section 3.5.8) also makes use of the materials stength values. For reinforced concrete this may lead to excessive cross section thicknesses since concrete cross sections are handled as though being unreinforced. In order to get useful thickness values for reinforced conrete, one needs to scale up the concrete material's tensile strength.
Orthotropic Material Properties
Material orthotropy means that the material's behaviour changes with direction. The material properties in two orthogonal directions fully characterize any orthotropic material. In Karamba3D orthotropic materials take effect only in shells. When supplied to beams, the material properties in the first direction are applied. For shells the first material direction corresponds to the local x-axis. See section 3.1.14 on how to set user defined local coordinate systems on shells.
Fig. 3.5.1.2: Definition of properties of an orthotropic material via the "Material Properties" component
In fig. 3.5.1.2 an orthotropic material gets defined using a "Material Property"-component. Besides "Family", "Name", "Elem|Id" and "Color" it expects the following input:
"E1"
Young's Modulus in the first direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"E2"
Young's Modulus in the second direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"G12"
In-plane shear modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): The value of is liable to a constraint which is further depicted below.
"nue12"
v12v_{12}
is the in-plane lateral contraction coefficient (also called Poisson's ratio): In case
v12=1v_{12}=-1
(the default) the approximate formula of Huber [8] is applied to
v21v_{21}
 calculated from
E1E_1
,
E2E_2
and
G12G_{12}
:
v12=E12.G12−E2E1v_{12}=\frac{E_1}{2.G_{12}}−\sqrt{\frac{E_2}{E_1}}
"G31"
Transverse shear modulus in the first direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"G32"
Transverse shear modulus in the second direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"gamma"

kN/m3kN/m^3
)
"alphaT1"

1/°C1/°C
)
"alphaT2"
Coefficient of thermal expansion in the second direction (

Cartographic Representations in ArcGIS Engine
A customer will use PLTS Nautical to collect/manage data and to create/manage a number of charts. They want to create applications using ArcGIS Engine to view the MXDs that they will be creating. As I understand it, PLTS Nautical makes extensive use of cartographic representations. I know these can be viewed in standard ArcMap (no PLTS installed). I'm wondering if these MXDs can view displayed and used in ArcGIS Engine applications.
Mapping Center Answer:
ArcGIS Engine supports cartographic representations through the Carto reference library. The interfaces that manage representations in ArcGIS Engine can be found under the following directories:
- IRepresentationLegendClass: Provides access to the properties and methods of a RepresentationLegendClass

text: Abstract: The current study aims at increasing the strength and heat resistance of concrete that can be used in airport pavements for vertical take-off and landing of new generation F-35B combat aircraft by improving concrete mixtures. For this purpose, two different mixtures with lightweight (expanded glass aggregate) and traprock (basalt) aggregate were prepared. The mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the mixtures were determined, 3D maps of cracks that occurred with the flexural tensile strength tests were examined using fractal analysis, and the fracture energy of the samples was obtained. A statistically significant extremely high correlation was found between fractal dimension and flexural tensile strength. No significant compressive strength losses were observed in samples after heat exposure. We determined that the mechanical properties of the basalt aggregate mixture were better than the expanded glass aggregate mixture, however, its thermal conductivity was higher.

Gap Funding
The Monroe Foundation specializes in 'gap funding'.
Educational research studies have highlighted that many students are unable to begin or complete their educational studies for lack of smaller amounts of balances that remain after all other sources of funding have been exhausted.
Rather than providing full scholarships, the Foundation seeks to 'fill the gap' after all sources of tuition funding have been exhausted – including financial aid and grants, veteran aid, personal resources, and loans. Average grants per semester range from $1,000 to $5,000 and often are the difference between a student continuing with his/her studies or having to withdraw from classes and discontinue their education. Academic performance is reviewed at the conclusion of each semester in order to determine eligibility for continued funding.

Abstract
Hybrid beamforming (HBF) array structure has been extensively demonstrated as the practically-feasible architecture for massive MIMO. From the perspectives of spectral efficiency (SE), energy efficiency (EE), cost and hardware complexity, HBF strikes a balanced performance tradeoff when compared to the fully-analog and the fully-digital implementations. Using the HBF architecture, it is possible to realize three different subarray structures, specifically the fully-connected, the sub-connected and the overlapped subarray structures. This paper presents a novel generalized framework for the design and performance analysis of the HBF architecture. A parameter, known as the subarray spacing, is introduced such that varying its value leads to the different subarray configurations and the consequent changes in system performance. Using a realistic power consumption model, we investigate the performance of the generalized HBF array structure in a cellular infrastructure-to-everything (C-I2X) application scenario (involving pedestrian and vehicular users) using the single-path terahertz (THz) channel model. Simulation results are provided for the comparative performance analysis of the different subarray structures. The results show that the overlapped subarray implementation maintains a balanced tradeoff in terms of SE, EE and hardware cost when compared to the popular fully-connected and the sub-connected structures. The overlapped subarray structure, therefore, offers promising potentials for the beyond-5G networks employing THz massive MIMO to deliver ultra-high data rates whilst maintaining a balance in the EE of the network.

Evaluating reeds
Photo, chelseagirl
There are three things to consider when evaluating a reed. I consider these same factors for either single or double reeds, and prioritize them in this order.
 1. Response. The overriding concern for me is that the reed responds exactly as I expect it to. A reed that is stiff, sluggish, stuffy, or otherwise unresponsive isn't a good reed (at least in its current state), even if it "has a good sound" or whatever. Many reed players, I believe, are consistently using reeds that are overly stiff, often in the name of "good" tone.
 2. Stability. This is the flip side of the coin from response; a reed that is too responsive is uncontrollable. (Think of the gas pedal and brake in a car: unresponsive pedals make the car feel lethargic, but overly responsive ones make for a jerky ride.) With an unstable reed, it's hard to play in tune, hard to control dynamics, and hard to keep the tone consistent.
 3. Tone. Once I've selected a reed that has the right balance between response and stability, I evaluate the reed's contribution to tone quality. Remember that the reed is only one of many factors that affect tone, and that tone is relatively easy to manipulate if the reed is responsive and stable. Resist the temptation to rank your reeds based on their tone alone.
2 thoughts on "Evaluating reeds
 1. Great introduction Bret!
 Is this true for singe reeds as well as double? To what extent does the instrument come into play?
 I was very happily surprized when, in January I got the chance to try some really old and new Lorée, Howarth and other oboes, that my 1985 Lorée is part of a (Thank God) lost generation. For us, "instability" means this: as you crescendo/diminuendo some specific notes, they will "wobble" sharp and/or flat… these notes "wolf" like a cello bow that you have just cleaned off the rosin with alcohol.
 For these instruments, reeds are usually better short (danger of playing sharp) and with specific crow characteristics that just can't be explained in text. But back in the days, it was taken for granted that playing the oboe was synonymous with fighting the instrument for proper tuning and equal projection on all the notes.
 I was very happily surprized that Lorées after the year 2000 (the newer, the better) almost don't do this at all – and Marigaux has always maintained the reputation of sounding great with any reed.
 1. Yes, I use these same criteria for both single and double reeds.
 And I always evaluate a reed in terms of the instrument/mouthpiece that I intend to use it on. This is why I have difficulty with the concept of, for example, buying double reeds from a reedmaker through a website or catalog—the reeds might be "good" in some abstract sense, but it's not good to me unless it's good on my instrument.

Opinium has worked with The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) since 2016, to provide insight to aid the safeguarding of the aviation industry through the encouragement of safe and responsible drone usage.
We initially conducted a 3 phase Qualitative/Quantitative study, to understand motivations, behaviours, lifestyle and attitudes towards drone flying and responsibility, culminating in insight to support the development of the dronecode. Since 2016, we have run a yearly tracker to understand the shifting attitudes to and behaviours around drones and drone usage. The research is conducted amongst the UK public at large, and with drones users who are the key group with whom the CAA needs to primarily engage.
"We were really impressed with how quickly Opinium grasped the technical subject of drones and quickly delivered exactly what we were hoping for. Their research approach is clearly very thorough revealing powerful insights, but for me it's the way they communicate that insight, their storytelling really helped me support my stakeholders inside and outside the CAA. Highly recommend them."
Our research has been integral to informing the CAA's strategy around drone responsibility. The research has supported the interest of multiple stakeholders, such as airlines and airports across the UK, in safeguarding the future of the aviation industry.

Kobold DON Oval Gear Flowmeter
The DON Oval Gear Flowmeter has been optimally designed for measuring flow rates of low and high viscous fluids. It is typically used for monitoring or dosing of lubricants, pastes, or oils, as well as measuring flow rates of water, various chemicals, and even fuel.
Stainless steel flowmeters are suited to most water based products and chemicals. Aluminium meters are suitable for fuels, fuel oils & lubricating liquids.
Areas of Application
For all viscous, non-abrasive clean liquids such as:
The DON oval gear flowmeters employ positive displacement flow technology. When liquid flows through this type of positive displacement flowmeter, two oval geared rotors measure a constant volume per rotation within a precisely machined measuring chamber. With each rotation, a constant volume of liquid is measured. The rotation of the oval gears is sensed via magnets embedded within the rotors. These magnets transmit a high resolution pulse output. The output signal can be processed externally via a remote display controller or PLC or via a variety of output/display options available as accessories attached to the flowmeters.
Please ask for more information.

When the diameter of a piece changes uniformly from one end to the other, the piece is said to be tapered. Taper turning as a machining operation is the gradual reduction in diameter from one part of a cylindrical workpiece to another part. Tapers can be either external or internal. If a workpiece is tapered on the outside, it has an external taper; if it is tapered on the inside, it has an internal taper. There are three basic methods of turning tapers with a lathe. Depending on the degree, length, location of the taper (internal or external), and the number of pieces to be done, the operator will either use the compound rest, offset the tailstock, or use the taper attachment. With any of these methods the cutting edge of the tool bit must be set exactly on center with the axis of the workpiece or the work will not be truly conical and the rate of taper will vary with each cut.
The compound rest is favorable for turning or boring short, steep tapers, but it can also be used for longer, gradual tapers providing the length of taper does not exceed the distance the compound rest will move upon its slide. This method can be used with a high degree of accuracy, but is somewhat limited due to lack of automatic feed and the length of taper being restricted to the movement of the slide.
The compound rest base is graduated in degrees and can be set at the required angle for taper turning or boring. With this method, it is necessary to know the included angle of the taper to be machined. The angle of the taper with the centerline is one-half the included angle and will be the angle the compound rest is set for. For example, to true up a lathe center which has an included angle of 60°, the compound rest would be set at 30° from parallel to the ways Figure 1.
If there is no degree of angle given for a particular job, then calculate the compound rest setting by finding the taper per inch, and then calculating the tangent of the angle (which is the: compound rest setting).
For example, the compound rest setting for the workpiece shown in Figure 2 would be calculated in the following manner
TPI = (D – d)/L angle = TAN (TPI)/2
Where TPI = taper per inch
D = large diameter,
d = small diameter,
L = length of taper
angle = compound rest setting
The problem is actually worked out by substituting numerical values for the letter variables:
TPI = (1.000 – 0.375)/0.750
Apply the formula to find the angle by substituting the numerical values for the letter variables:
angle = TAN (0.833)/2
angle = TAN 0.41650
Using the trig charts the TAN of 0.41650 is found to be 22º37′. This angle is referred to as 22 degrees and 37 minutes.
To machine the taper shown in Figure 2, the compound rest will be set at 22°37 '. Since the base of the compound rest is not calibrated in minutes, the operator will set the base to an approximate degree reading, make trial cuts, take measurements, and readjust as necessary to obtain the desired angle of taper. The included angle of the workpiece is double that of the tangent of angle (compound rest setting). In this case, the double of 22°37′ would equal the included angle of 45°14′.
To machine a taper by this method, the tool bit is set on center with the workpiece axis. Turn the compound rest feed handle in a counterclockwise direction to move the compound rest near its rear limit of travel to assure sufficient traverse to complete the taper. Bring the tool bit into position with the workpiece by traversing and cross-feeding the carriage. Lock the carriage to the lathe bed when the tool bit is in position. Cut from right to left, adjusting the depth of cut by moving the cross feed handle and reading the calibrated collar located on the cross feed handle. feed the tool bit by hand-turning the compound rest feed handle in a clockwise direction.
Offsetting the Tailstock
The oldest and probably most used method of taper turning is the offset tailstock method. The tailstock is made in two pieces: the lower piece is fitted to the bed, while the upper part can be adjusted laterally to a given offset by use of adjusting screws and lineup marks Figure 3.
Since the workpiece is mounted between centers, this method of taper turning can only be used for external tapers. The length of the taper is from headstock center to tailstock center, which allows for longer tapers than can be machined using the compound rest or taper attachment methods.
The tool bit travels along a line which is parallel with the ways of the lathe. When the lathe centers are aligned and the workpiece is machined between these centers, the diameter will remain constant from one end of the piece to the other. If the tailstock is offset, as shown in Figure 4, the centerline of the workpiece is no longer parallel with the ways; however, the tool bit continues its parallel movement with the ways, resulting in a tapered workpiece. The tailstock may be offset either toward or away from the operator. When the offset is toward the operator, the small end of the workpiece will be at the tailstock with the diameter increasing toward the headstock end.
The offset tailstock method is applicable only to comparatively gradual tapers because the lathe centers, being out of alignment, do not have full bearing on the workpiece. Center holes are likely to wear out of their true positions if the lathe centers are offset too far, causing poor results and possible damage to centers.
The most difficult operation in taper turning by the offset tailstock method is determining the proper distance the tailstock should be moved over to obtain a given taper. Two factors affect the amount the tailstock is offset: the taper desired and the length of the workpiece. If the offset remains constant, workpieces of different lengths, or with different depth center holes, will be machined with different tapers Figure 5.
The formula for calculating the tailstock offset when the taper is given in taper inches per foot (tpf) is as follows:
Offset = TPF x L/24
Where: Offset = tailstock offset (in inches)
TPF = taper (in inches per foot)
L = length of taper (in feet) measured along the axis of the workpiece
For example, the amount of offset required to machine a bar 42 inches (3.5 feet) long with a taper of 1/2 inch per foot is calculated as follows:
OFFSET = TPF x L/24
OFFSET = 1/2 X 42/24
OFFSET = 21/24
OFFSET = 0.875 inch
Therefore, the tailstock should be offset 0.875 inch to machine the required taper. The formula for calculating the tailstock offset when the taper is given in TPF is as follows:
OFFSET = TPI X L/2
Where OFFSET = tailstock offset
TPI = taper per inch
L = length of taper in inches
For example, the amount of offset required to machine a bar 42 inches long with a taper of 0.0416 TPI is calculated as follows:
OFFSET = TPI X L/2
OFFSET = 0.0416 x 42/2
OFFSET = 1.7472/2 or rounded up 1.75/2
OFFSET =.875 inch
Therefore, the tailstock should be offset 0.875 inch to machine the required taper.
If the workpiece has a short taper in any par of it's length and the TPI or TPF is not given. use the following formula:
OFFSET = L X (D-d)/ 2 X L1
D = Diameter of large end
d = Diameter of small end
L = Total length of workpiece in inches diameter (in inches)
L1 = Length of taper
For example, the amount of tailstock offset required to machine a bar 36 inches (3 feet) in length for a distance of 18 inches (1.5 feet) when the large diameter is 1 3/4 (1.750) inches and the small diameter is 1 1/2 (1.5) inches is calculated as follows:
OFFSET = L X (D-d)/2XL1
OFFSET =36 X (1.750 – 1.5)/36
OFFSET = 9/36
OFFSET = 0.25 inch
Therefore, the tailstock would be offset (toward the operator) 0.25 inch to machine the required taper.
Metric tapers can also be calculated for taper turning by using the offset tailstock method. Metric tapers are expressed as a ratio of 1 mm per unit of length. Figure 6 shows how the work would taper 1 mm in a distance of 20 mm. This taper would then be given as a ratio of 1:20 and would be annotated on small diameter (d) will be 1 mm greater (d + ). Refer to the following formula for calculating the dimensions of a metric taper. If the small diameter (d), the unit length of taper (k), and the total length of taper (1) are known, then the large diameter (D) may be calculated. The large diameter (D) will be equal to the small diameter plus the amount of taper. The amount of taper for the unit length (k) is (d + 1) -(d). Therefore, the amount of taper per

How many Norwegian domain names are there? How many new domain names are registered and how many are deleted? Who are the biggest registrars for Norwegian domain names? On this page you can find statistics about the Norwegian domain marked.
Since 17 March 1987.no has been the national top level domain for Norway. In 1989 the database consisted of 19 domain names. In 1995 the number had increased to more than 1000 domain names and in year 2000 we exceeded 50,000 registered Norwegian domain names. In 2020 we exceeded 800,000.
Development in the number of new registrations of domain names
Table view of development in the number of new registrations of domain names
Number of new domains
The graph shows the development in the number of new registrations of domain names per year from 1999 until today. Three conditions may have impacted the numbers. In February 2001 some big changes were made to the terms and conditions. Each holder could now order more than one domain name, and did not need to document rights to the name. In February 2004 it became possible to register domain names with national characters (æ, ø, å and some other characters). In June 2014 private individuals were permitted to register domain names directly under.no (previously they could only register under 'priv.no).
Domain names secured with DNSSEC
DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) is a security mechanism that is added to the domain name system. With DNSSEC the response to a domain inquiry is signed in a way that makes it possible to check that the response is from the right source and has not been changed on the way. DNSSEC was introduced on the Norwegian marked in December 2014.

Market structure and disempowering regulatory intermediaries: Insights from U.S. trade surveillance
Miles Kellerman, DPhil student, has published a new article presenting the 'Marketing Structure Hypothesis'.
Public agencies outsource a wide variety of tasks to nonstate actors, or what can be referred to as regulatory intermediaries. In certain circumstances, these agencies may seek to disempower those regulatory intermediaries by reclaiming, duplicating, or transferring the outsourced task. When will these disempowerment attempts be successful? This article presents the Market Structure Hypothesis, which contends that the level of competition between regulatory intermediaries will, all things equal, determine whether disempowerment attempts succeed. To test this hypothesis, this article examines the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's attempts to acquire the independent capacity to conduct nationwide trade surveillance in the 1980s (Market Oversight Surveillance System) and 2010s (Consolidated Audit Trail). Evidence derives from archival materials, a Freedom of Information Act Request, and 60 interviews in Oxford, London, Toronto, New York City, and Washington, DC. The empirical results corroborate the hypothesis' expectations, contributing to our understanding of public‐private partnerships and shedding new empirical light on an understudied topic of securities regulation.

How do I know where the resistor would be placed if I were prototyping?
It is all part of the design knowing if you need a resistor to limit any current on not.
Basically the switch resistor is a pull up or pull down resistor, these are needed.
The arduino can not supply enough current to drive a low impedance speaker, the current must be kept below 40mA. So an 8 ohm speaker would give you a current of 5 / 8 = 625mA if connected up directly. This will damage your arduino. So the maximum load on a pin would be 5 / 0.04 = 125 Ohms, therefore you need a 125 - 8 = 117 ohm resistor in line with an 8 ohm speaker. That is going to make the volume very low, but that is another problem.

National Talk Like A Pirate Day
Recently in Nursery we have fully embraced 'National Talk Like A Pirate Day' and made our outside classroom area into a pirate treasure trove! During our child initiated sessions and daily outdoor learning lessons, we have created a specific area for all our learning strands. There is a movement and balance area featuring a plank to walk, the water table is full of boats to sail the seven seas and corks to help us with our Science around floating and sinking. We have been hunting for buried treasure stones and phonics resources in our desert island outdoor sand pit, we have a writing station for making treasure maps; x always marks the spot. We have maps of the world and maps of the United Kingdom to help us with our Geography, we have pirate dressing up and a fully stocked pirate ship stage area ready for sea shanties and pirate parties as part of our role-playing and lots of numeracy, size and shape based resources ready to ensure all the pirates are aboard our pirate ship complete with ships wheel. Arrr!

How to Sell a Property Held in a Revocable Trust
by Fraser Sherman, Demand Media Google
 If you follow state law, selling property in a trust should be simple.
 Selling a house in a revocable trust isn't complicated. If you've set up a trust and appointed yourself as trustee, you can manage the real estate just as if the title were still in your name. If you're incapacitated and your successor trustee steps in to manage your assets, she can do the same. Most elements of the sale -- negotiating a price, getting a home inspection, attending the closing -- are no different from when you sell property as yourself, rather than as a trustee.
 Step 1
 Research deed law in your state. Every state requires a "grantor" or seller -- you, in your job as trustee -- to sign a deed conveying property to the "grantee" or buyer. Some states also require the grantee to sign the deed, and some want one or possibly two witnesses to sign the deed as well.
 Step 2
 Show a copy of the trust documents to the title company. The company's job is to research your property's ownership history and confirm nobody else has a claim on it. Reviewing the trust documents helps the title company establish that the trust has a clear title and the right to sell it.
 Step 3
 Sign the deed transferring ownership to the grantee. You do this at the closing, where you sign as, for example, Jane Smith, trustee of the Jane Smith Trust. If you and your spouse have a joint revocable trust, the bank will want both of you to sign. Even if you have the authority to sell the house, the bank will want the security of two signatures.
 Step 4
 Complete any other requirements state law requires, such as having the deed notarized or having someone witness your signature. File the deed with the appropriate county office, which if often called the "registry of deeds."
 - If you transfer your personal home to your revocable trust's control, the IRS still regards you as the owner for tax purposes. If you live in the house for two of the five years before you sell it, you can exempt some of the sale proceeds from capital gains tax, even though the trust technically holds title to the house.

How to Calculate and Solve for Glide Shear | Fracture Mechanics
Last Updated on March 8, 2021
The image above represents glide shear.
To compute for glide shear, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Stacking Fault Energy (γ) and Varying Grain Constant (M').
The formula for calculating glide shear:
E = γ / M'
Where:
E = Glide Shear
γ = Stacking Fault Energy
M' = Varying Grain Constant
Let's solve an example;
Find the glide shear when the stacking fault energy is 18 and the varying grain constant is 2.
This implies that;
γ = Stacking Fault Energy = 18
M' = Varying Grain Constant = 2
E = γ / M'
E = 18 / 2
E = 9
Therefore, the glide shear is 9 Pa.
Calculating the Stacking Fault Energy when the Glide Shear and the Varying Grain Constant is Given.
γ = E x M'
Where;
γ = Stacking Fault Energy
E = Glide Shear
M' = Varying Grain Constant
Let's solve an example;
Find the stacking fault energy when the glide shear is 14 and the varying grain constant is 8.
This implies that;
E = Glide Shear = 14
M' = Varying Grain Constant = 8
γ = E x M'
γ = 14 x 8
γ = 112
Therefore, the stacking fault energy is 112.
Calculating the Varying Grain Constant when the Glide Shear and the Stacking Fault Energy is Given.
M' = γ / E
Where;
M' = Varying Grain Constant
E = Glide Shear
γ = Stacking Fault Energy
Let's solve an example;
Find the varying grain constant when the glide shear is 10 and the stacking fault energy is 40.
This implies that;
E = Glide Shear = 10
γ = Stacking Fault Energy = 40
M' = γ / E
M' = 40 / 10
M' = 4
Therefore, the varying grain constant is 4.

Rabbit Pose: The Fun way to Progress Writing Skills
Rabbit pose can be challenging, especially for younger children. Encourage your child to try this activity along with you, but if they are not enjoying it, please don't insist. They may not be quite ready yet. Try the less challenging rabbit pose (see further down) instead.
Before you start
Find a clear space on the carpet or a mat. Make sure you both have a clear space around you so you are not likely to bump your heads! When young children does this pose they may look down at their feet and hands instead of straight ahead.
Take off your shoes and socks to prevent slips and to help your child feel the mat with their feet and hands accurately.
Always seek advice if you are unsure about whether Rabbit pose is suitable for yourself.
How to do rabbit pose
Squat down on the mat or carpet with your child. Show them how they can balance on their feet with their hands down in front of them – so they can use their hands to balance as well.
Guide your child to reach forward with their hands first, keeping their feet still.
With your hands out in front, slowly bring your weight forwards so that you're taking more weight through your shoulders, arms and hands. Encourage your child to copy.
Now it's time to move your feet! With your weight on your hands, hop both your feet towards your hands, like a bouncing bunny.
Repeat your rabbit yoga pose, lolloping forward a few times so your child has a chance to refine their hops.
On their first attempts your child may tend to land on their knees as they hop, instead of their feet. If this is the case show your child the pose again – this time emphasising how a bunny lands on his back paws!
A variation of rabbit pose
Try jumping over a river or grass. Your child will probably find rabbit pose easier to do if they have something to look at and jump over.
Whilst you are both squatting down, place a narrow scarf, streamer or piece of ribbon on the floor in front of you both.
Show your child how they can place their hands over the streamer first and then hop their feet over it!
The benefits of rabbit pose
How rabbit pose helps to support writing skills
Progressing writing skills doesn't always mean doing more writing! In fact paediatric occupational and physiotherapists will often suggest whole body activities (just like rabbit pose) to help a child refine their hand skills. Here are 3 ways in which rabbit pose can help support writing skills:
1. Gaining strength to support writing
To sit correctly, your child needs to have active tummy muscles, otherwise they may tend to slump forwards.
If your child's shoulder muscles are active and strong, they will use these muscles to support the weight of their arm, freeing their delicate hand muscles for writing. If shoulder muscles are inactive or weak your child may try to support their whole arm with their hand muscles and this can lead to a very tight pencil grip and hand ache.
2. Refining sensory organisation skills
As they do rabbit pose variation (jumping over a scarf or ribbon), your child will be organising huge amounts of different sensory information in their brain e.g. information from their visual, touch and movement (proprioceptive and vestibular) senses. This sequence of:
taking in sensations > processing sensations in the brain >in order to do a specific activity
is powerful way of practising and developing sensory organisation! When a child is learning to write, good sensory organisation skills will help them to focus on relevant sensory information e.g. their pencil grip and hand movements and to 'filter out' irrelevant sensory information e.g. a sound outside, a picture hanging on the wall, or the feel of their clothing.
3. Stretching & developing hand muscles
As your child takes weight through their hands they will be activating and gently stretching out their hand muscles, preparing them for writing and drawing activities.
A more challenging rabbit pose
Want to make Rabbit pose harder? See if you and your child can do rabbit pose backwards!
Squat down on the floor as before. This time place your hands close to your feet between your legs. Once again tip forwards so your nose is in front of your knees and you are balancing more on your arms, but now hop both your feet backwards. Move your whole body backwards onto your feet, so you're squatting again and repeat the action to keep hopping backwards.
A less challenging rabbit pose
Rabbit pose can be difficult as the movement sequence requires mature co-ordination skills.
If your child is younger, or is struggling with rabbit pose, encourage them to either:
Bend and straighten their knees whilst they are standing – the start of jumping or
To play in the 'squat' position – reaching down for toys on the floor and then putting them in little containers. Most young children can squat in a perfect position!
A Rabbit Poem for A Spring Weekend
Our resident paediatric physiotherapist, Sue Heron, loved this poem as a child.
Remember to twitch your nose as you say it and get your rabbits and bunnies in the right order!
Rabbit Poem by Georgia Roberts Durston
There once was a rabbit, who developed the habit, of twitching the end of his nose,
His brothers and sisters, and various others, said "Look at the way he goes!"
Now one clever bunny, said "That's very funny, I'll practice it down in the dell"
The rest said "If he can, we're positive we can" – and they did it remarkably well.
Now all the world over, where rabbits eat clover and scribble and scratch with their toes,
There's isn't a rabbit, who hasn't the habit, of twitching the end of his nose!

From airport food that is roughly 100 percent sodium to the roof of the plane potentially coming off to a sleeping air traffic controller guiding a plane, you'd think air travel is getting dangerous.
A new study says it may be. Although not in the convertible-plane or narcoleptic-controller sort of way.
The study, released Monday in the Journal of Occupational Health and Environmental Medicine, says that frequent business travelers were more likely to describe their health as "fair" or "poor."
More than 13,000 subjects were studied from data supplied by a corporate wellness program. It looked at three groups: Non-travelers, occasional travelers (80 percent of those surveyed) and "extensive travelers" who run at the George Clooney in "Up in the Air" pace of 20 or more nights a month on the road.
Those Clooney-esque road warriors are not a healthy bunch. And they certainly don't look like him. They are 92 percent more likely to be obese, with high blood pressure and unfavorable cholesterol levels.
Several factors could contribute to this, the researchers said, including poor sleep, fattening foods and long periods of inactivity.
We're no scientists, but we'd guess that doubles-for-$1-extra, migraine-inducing flight delays and blood-pressure-raising bag fees also have something to do with it.
How do you try to stay healthy on the road?

Computer scientists at the University of Glasgow are helping to develop an internet search engine that uses sensors located in the physical world to provide answers to search queries.
By collating data from sensors such as cameras and microphones, and cross-referencing it with results from social networks such as Twitter, users will be able to receive detailed responses to questions such as 'What part of the city hosts live music events that my friends have been to recently?' and 'How busy is the city centre?'
The European-funded project, known as SMART (Search engine for MultimediA Environment geneRated content), will be built on an open-source search engine technology known as Terrier that the university has been developing since 2004.
Partners include Atos, Athens Information Technology, IBM's Haifa Research Lab, Imperial College London, City of Santander, PRISA Digital, Telesto and Consorzio S3 Log.
"SMART builds upon the existing concept of'smart cities', physical spaces which are covered in an array of intelligent sensors which communicate with each other and can be searched for information," said Dr Iadh Ounis, of the University of Glasgow's School of Computing Science.
"The search results sourced from these smart cities can be reused across multiple applications, making the system more effective."
The team from Glasgow University hopes the SMART project will be ready for testing in a real city by 2014.
The news comes as the UK government launches a competition to encourage local authorities to turn their cities into "smart cities" by integrating transport, communications and other city infrastructure, for the chance to win £24 million of government investment.
The Future Cities Demonstrator programme, run by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB), aims to kickstart the market for integrated city systems, which is estimated to be worth £200 billion a year by 2030.

Objective: This study aimed to (i) describe unplanned readmission rates after injury according to time, reason, and place; (ii) compare observed rates with general population rates, and (iii) identify determinants of 30-day readmission.
Background: Hospital readmissions represent an important burden in terms of mortality, morbidity, and resource use but information on unplanned rehospitalization after injury admissions is scarce.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was based on adults discharged alive from a Canadian provincial trauma system (1998–2010; n = 115,329). Trauma registry data were linked to hospital discharge data to obtain information on readmission up to 12 months postdischarge. Provincial admission rates were matched to study data by age and gender to obtain expected rates. Determinants of readmission were identified using multiple logistic regression.
Results: Cumulative readmission rates at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months were 5.9%, 10.9%, 15.5%, and 21.1%, respectively. Observed rates persisted above expected rates up to 11 months postdischarge. Thirty percent of 30-day readmissions were due to potential complications of injury compared with 3% for general provincial admissions. Only 23% of readmissions were to the same hospital. The strongest independent predictors of readmission were the number of prior admissions, discharge destination, the number of comorbidities, and age.
Conclusions: Unplanned readmissions after discharge from acute care for traumatic injury are frequent, persist beyond 30 days, and are often related to potential complications of injury. Several patient-, injury-, and hospital-related factors are associated with the risk of readmission. Injury readmission rates should be monitored as part of trauma quality assurance efforts.

Method of Solvent Exchange for Dispersed Particles
Original Publication Date: 1982-Dec-01
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2005-Feb-10
Magnetic particles can be dispersed in water by known techniques. However, the binders used in disk and tape coatings are not normally water-soluble, so the water must be removed and replaced with an organic solvent without degrading the dispersion. Removal of the water by drying causes the particles to adhere together and makes them difficult to redisperse. Filtration or decantation is difficult due to the small particle size. This problem can be overcome by adding a higher boiling solvent followed by removal of the water using a distillation process. Reduced pressure can be used if the organic solvent is quite high boiling. If azeotropic mixtures are formed and the organic solvent is not soluble in water, the water layer can be decanted from the distillate and the organic layer returned to the distilling column.

In a new document entitled "Male and Female He Created Them", the Congregation for Catholic Education says that the Church teaches an essential difference between men and woman, ordered in the natural law and essential to the family and human flourishing.
The document says that the aim of the Church must be the education of children in line with authentic principles which defend and instill true human dignity. By contrast, it says, "In practice, the advocacy for the different identities [in gender theory] often presents them as being of completely equal value compared to each other. The generic concept of 'non-discrimination' often hides an ideology that denies the difference as well as natural reciprocity that exists between men and women."
In keeping with the teachings of the Catholic Church, it also says that children enjoy the right to grow up in a family with a father and a mother.
The document also underlines the primacy of parents in educating their children, which is supplemented by the subsidiary role of schools and the Church. Quoting Francis, it also says that this educational alliance has entered into crisis.

Key Difference – Anthem vs Hymn
Although the two terms anthem and hymn both refer to a song, there is a distinct difference between anthem and hymn. A hymn is a religious song of praise to God or a deity whereas an anthem is an uplifting song that symbolizes a particular group or cause. The key difference between anthem and hymn is the fact that hymn is a religious song whereas anthem is not.
What is an Anthem?
The term anthem basically refers to a song of praise, loyalty, happiness or celebration. This song serves as a symbol for a particular group, body or cause.
A national anthem is a patriotic song officially adopted by a country as an expression of national identity. A national anthem usually pays homage to the history, traditions, culture and struggles of the people and provoke patriotical feelings. "La Marseillaise" (France), "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the USA), "God save the queen" (the UK), "Jana Gana Mana" (India), etc. are some examples of national anthems.
When the national anthem is being played, the people should always stand at attention. Although different countries have different etiquettes, standing during the national anthem is a common practice.
The term anthem can also refer to a musical setting of a religious text to be sung by a choir during a church service, particularly in Anglican or Protestant Churches.
What is a Hymn?
A hymn is a religious song or poem of praise to God. Technically, the term hymn refers to the written text which is intended to be sung. The singing or compositions of hymns are called hymnody. A collection of hymns is known as a hymn or a hymn book. A hymn is addressed to a deity or deities and is specially written for the purpose of adoration or prayer. Hymns may or may not be accompanied by instruments.
Although the term hymn is usually associated with Christian churches, hymns are used in various religions, particularly religions in the Indian subcontinent.
What is the difference between Anthem and Hymn?
Anthem is a song of praise, loyalty, happiness or celebration.
Hymn is a religious song, addressed to a deity.
Anthem is used as a symbol for a particular group, body or cause.
Hymn is only used for religious purposes; it's not used as a symbol.
National Anthem is officially adopted by a country as an expression of national identity.
Hymn has no official purpose.
Anthem is not addressed to a deity.
Hymn is addressed to a deity or deities.
Anthems are usually accompanied by music.
Hymns may or may not be accompanied by music.

Numark Orbit - Importing Multiple Controller Mappings in Traktor Pro 2
Before we continue it's important to understand the differences between the types of Traktor Pro mappings. One type of mapping is a generic controller type; these mappings are generally included with the purchase of the hardware, and are supplied by the manufacture. Generic controller mappings provide basic control of the Traktor software. In most cases what you see on the controller is exactly what you reaction you get in the software. Another type of mapping is effects based mapping; the effects based mappings offer the user a more complex and customized experience. Since these mappings alter effects settings within Traktor it is important that these mappings are imported first. These mappings also must be imported two times using the large import button at the bottom left of the Preferences window. Importing the mapping twice ensures that all effects and their settings are loaded correctly.
Now that we understand the basics lets go through one example using the Numark 4TRAK, and the Numark Orbit wireless DJ controller. In this scenario we will be using the 4TRAK for basic control, and the Orbit to trigger customized combination effects. It is important to back up your current settings if you wish to use them later. Open Preferences within Traktor Pro and choose Export from the bottom of that window you will want to be sure and check off any setting box you wish to recall later.
Now that we understand the basics, and have made a backup our current settings lets get started.
- Download both controller mapping files.
- Unzip or extract the files to your desktop.
- Plug in your Numark 4TRAK USB, and the Numark Orbit USB Dongle.
- Power-on both units.
- Open Traktor Pro 2.
- Click the Preferences or gear icon in the top right corner.
- Click Import from the bottom of the Preferences window.
- First it's important to load the effects based mapping. Locate the Orbit mapping file, and click Open.
- Leave the default Category boxes checked as below unless you have your GUI or layout setup for 4 decks. Click OK to import the settings.
- You need to import this mapping twice ensure all effect settings load correctly. Repeat steps 7-10 to ensure this.
- Next we need to import our Generic mapping type which is the Numark 4TRAK for this example.
- Still within the Preferences window select and highlight Controller Manager section from the left.
- At the top of the window within the Device Setup section click Add…
- From the drop down list select Import.
- Locate the extracted Numark 4TRAK mapping file, and click Open. Should be wherever you extracted the mapping file to. Its important to add the second map in this manor other wise you will delete the first mapping we imported. Importing through the Traktor Wizard will also overwrite our original mapping and setup settings.
*You will always use Add... > Import when adding a second controller.
- Lastly ensure that all of your In-Ports, and Out-Ports are assigned to the correct hardware.
- That's it you have correctly configured multiple controllers within Traktor Pro 2. You can now export your controller mappings and settings.

Cemetery monuments have long been a reflection of the cultural and societal trends of their time. From the traditional tombstones of the past to the modern and innovative monuments of today, the evolution of cemetery memorials has been influenced by a variety of factors.
In the past, cemetery monuments were often characterized by traditional designs such as upright headstones and somber grave markers. These monuments were typically made from materials like marble, granite, or limestone, and featured classic engravings of religious symbols, names, and dates. While these traditional designs continue to hold significance, there has been a shift towards more personalized and unique memorial options.
Personalization and Customization
In recent years, there has been a noticeable trend towards personalized and customized cemetery monuments. Families are moving away from generic designs and are opting for monuments that truly reflect the personality and passions of their loved ones. This has led to an increase in customized engravings, unique sculptures, and personalized epitaphs. As a result, cemetery monuments are becoming more diverse and meaningful, telling the story of the individual laid to rest.
Modern Materials and Technology
Advancements in technology and materials have also had a significant impact on the trends in cemetery monuments. Modern materials such as bronze, glass, and even environmentally-friendly options like biodegradable urns are becoming more popular choices for memorialization. Additionally, advancements in engraving and sculpting technology have allowed for more intricate and detailed designs, giving families the opportunity to create truly one-of-a-kind monuments.
Another emerging trend in cemetery monuments is the focus on sustainability and environmental friendliness. As more people become environmentally conscious, there has been a rise in the demand for eco-friendly memorial options. This has led to the development of biodegradable monuments, green burial markers, and natural landscape memorials that blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment.
In conclusion, the trends in cemetery monuments continue to evolve, reflecting the values and preferences of society. From traditional designs to modern, personalized memorials, the evolution of cemetery monuments is a testament to the enduring significance of honoring and remembering our loved ones.

MLOC Data Files
This section discusses the details of the data files that support mloc. It also provides download links for all data files that are required in any installation of mloc, and also for some optional files that may be useful. This section follows the recommended directory structure for an mloc installation. All data files reside in subdirectories of the tables directory in the mloc working directory.
The only function of this directory is to hold custom crustal velocity models, but you also have the option of storing them in the cluster directory itself. The only difference is the pathname of the crustal model file assigned with the lmod command in the command file. My convention is to give crustal models the filename suffix ".cr" but you can name them any way you like.
My strategy is to keep most custom crustal models with the individual clusters (same directory as the event data files) because that is the only place they will be used. I reserve the tables/crust directory for crustal models that may be used across many clusters. It is nearly mandatory to develop a custom crustal model for any cluster that is undergoing a calibrated relocation, but it's usually not possible to place strong constraints on a crustal model for an uncalibrated relocation study, so a reasonable regional or global model may be used. In particular I store a model (ak135.cr) of the crust and upper mantle from the 1-D global model ak135 (Engdahl et al., 1998) in this directory. This is normally the starting model for a new cluster, from which a cluster-specific model is developed through trial and error. Specifically, I make a copy of ak135.cr, rename it for the intended cluster and move it to the cluster directory.
The file simple.cr provided below is an example of the simplest possible crustal model (one layer crust of constant velocity over a pseudo-halfspace upper mantle) which, nevertheless, would provide a good fit to many datasets after adjusting the velocities and crustal thickness.
The details of the file format for crustal models and many aspects of working with crustal velocity models are discussed in the Crustal Models section.
- simple.cr: a simple crustal model file (<1 KB, view or download)
- ak135.cr: crustal model file for ak135 (<1 KB, view or download)
Corrections to theoretical travel times for the ellipticity of the Earth are a standard part of traditional earthquake location programs because the location is usually based mainly on the fit of (corrected) theoretical travel times to observed regional and teleseismic phases. The corrections are usually on the order of a tenth of a second. For a calibrated location in mloc, however, these corrections are irrelevant since only the relative times of regional and teleseismic phases are being used to determine the absolute location of the cluster (i.e., the hypocentroid). Nevertheless, ellipticity corrections are made in mloc with the same algorithm used in Bob Engdahl's single event code (i.e., the EHB catalog), based on the Dziewonski and Gilbert (1976) representation with further work by Brian Kennett and Wim Spakman.
Ellipticity corrections are based on a single data file:
- tau.table.zip (52 KB, download)
The map plots (e.g., the base plot) produced by mloc can display faults (command fmap). The data files follow the format for GMT, with coordinates given in the order longitude, latitude. They can be stored in this directory or in the cluster directory itself. Data files that cover a large region are probably best stored here. The example is a file of major faults in Turkey.
- turkey_faults.dat.zip (19 KB, download)
Two types of data are stored in this directory (in sub-directories) for use in plotting: color palettes and digital elevation models (DEMs). These are only used for the map-like plots, e.g., the base plot.
The default color palette for showing topographic data in mloc plots is topo.cpt. It works well in most circumstances, but there are many others and GMT documentation includes detailed instructions about designing your own.
- topo.cpt.zip (1 KB, download)
The map plots in mloc do not display topographic information by default, but it is usually quite helpful in establishing a geographic or seismotectonic context for a calibrated cluster. Display of topographic information is controlled by the command dem1, which also selects between two digital elevation models, depending on the argument to the command:
- etopo1 = ETOPO1 1 arc-minute gridded topography and bathymetry. The data file that should be stored for mloc is ETOPO1_Bed_g_gmt4.grd.gz. The compressed file is 383 MB and it will unzip to 933 MB.
- globe = GLOBE 0.5 arc-minute (~1 km) gridded topography. There are 16 tiles covering the earth that can be downloaded from the website. If you are working in a particular area you only need the corresponding tile. Each tile is ~60 MB zipped and unzips to 270 MB.
mloc presently supports a third global DEM called GINA (30 arc-second topography and 2 arc-minute bathymetry), however the GINA DEM has been removed from distribution and the gina option for the command dem1 will probably be removed in an upcoming version.
The files for each DEM should be put in an appropriately-named sub-directory of /tables/gmt/dem, ETOPO for ETOPO1 and GLOBE for the GLOBE tiles. If you will use only one DEM, it should probably be ETOPO1, since it is a single file covering the entire Earth and includes bathymetry. The GLOBE model is very good for land areas but if your map crosses a tile boundary mloc falls back to using ETOPO1.
In addition to the ETOPO and GLOBE sub-directories to /tables/gmt/dem (which are required for those DEMS), you may wish to create a sub-directory to hold high-resolution DEMs for specific clusters. These are referenced by the command dem2 but the argument to this command is the pathname of the file relative to the mloc working directory so you could just as well store it in the cluster directory. If you choose to store them under tables/gmt/dem a name like "custom" or "hi-rez" would be appropriate. The creation of these high-resolution DEMs is covered elsewhere.
The ~.kml file that is a standard output file of mloc uses icons in five colors for earthquakes at different depths. The icons are in PNG format and must be stored in this directory.
- kml.zip (62 KB, download)
One of the more important aspects of using mloc is the use of empirical reading errors, estimated for each station-phase pair from the actual data. For the first run (at least), when those estimates are not yet available, mloc uses a set of phase-specific default reading errors, read from a file named psdre.dat in this directory:
- psdre.dat (143 bytes, download)
Current values in this file are listed in the table:
|Phase||Reading Error (s)|
The user can edit this file to change the default values or to add or remove phases.
This directory holds several data files related to seismograph stations, especially the geographic coordinates and elevation for a given station code. The most important file here is the master station file (master_stn.dat), which is meant to carry information only on stations in the International Registry of Seismograph Stations (IR) at the ISC. The reason for this policy will become clear(er) when the user encounters the full suite of problems related to station codes and the strategy used in mloc to manage conflicts. In some cases the precise coordinates (especially elevation) of a station from the IR are over-ridden by more trusted information from other sources, but non-IR-registered stations should be handled with supplemental station files (command sstn), not entered into the master station file.
The other two data files in this directory are related to specific commands:
- bdps.dat: a list of seismic stations that are suspected of reporting bogus depth phase readings. Specifically, it is suspected that station operators take focal depths from preliminary locations by agencies such as the NEIC, and report depth phase arrivals taken from theoretical travel time calculations. The command bdps takes the pathname of the file relative to the mloc working directory so it does not have to be stored here, but this is the natural place for it.
- neic_stn.dat: This file is used by the command nsmd which causes a search to be made for station codes that were not found in the master station file. It is only needed (possibly) if an arrival time dataset includes data obtained from the NEIC. Many stations of the U.S. regional networks that report to the NEIC use codes that conflict with stations registered in the IR, and for that matter, with each other. NEIC solves this problem by carrying FDSN network codes along with station codes (and a lot more) in their metadata server and location software. This data file is a recent download of the entire contents of the metadata server, so a search for a given station code may well return multiple hits from different networks. The strategy used in mloc to manage these issues is discussed elsewhere.
- master_stn.dat.zip (635 KB, download)
- bdps.dat.zip (2 KB, download)
- neic_stn.dat.zip (2.1 MB, download)
Supplemental station files (command sstn) may be stored here also, especially

The Test of the Properties of Scouring Agent Determination of textile's Whiteness
The Test of the Properties of Scouring Agent Determination of textile's Whiteness
Time: Click: 1249
There are so many testing methods of whiteness, and the reliability and applicable range are varied, especially as the increasing use of the fluorescent whitening agent in recent years, making the determination of whiteness become much more complicated. Nowadays, the determination of whiteness can be divided as two kinds generally: the first one is to use the spectrophotometer to determine the reflectance of each wavelength. The L value, a value and b value are obtained by computer calculation, and then the whiteness is obtained by the whiteness calculation formula. At present, there are a lot of whiteness calculation formulas, but they are all have weakness, proving that it is hard to find a formula that is corresponded to the fact. Taking ZBD whiteness calculation as an example: Determination of the specific wavelength light through the filter that transmitted wavelength less than 500nm is irradiated to the sample light except for the blue light, and purple light, so that whiteness measurement can be carried out with samples of fluorescent whitening agents. In the determination, the instrument is adjusted with a standard white plate, and then the relative whiteness of the sample is determined.
1. Instrument. XBD whiteness calculation.
2. Operating steps. To cut the semi-cloth products with no optical brightener for 12cm refined * 24cm, and fold into 5cm * 5cm 8 layers (thin fabric is 18cm * 24cm, 5cm * 5cm folded into 12 layers). And then to determine whiteness in whiteness meter, which requires each specimen shall keep the warp and weft consistent. In this case it should be measured 3 times in different parts, and eventually to take the average value.
3. Illustrations
◎ Other instruments which can determine or can calculate after determination are favorable to be applied. Even though the data gained may not consistent, using the same instrument to determine the data can still illustrate the situation about whiteness. The date of whiteness given in the report should be marked the type of the instrument.
◎ The layers folded of textile should be the same.

Opportunity Affirmations
Today's Thought:
~Emily Dickinson
focus on success magnifying glassIf there is one defining difference between positive thinkers and negative thinkers, successful people and unsuccessful people, happy people and unhappy people; it must be their responses to opportunity.
Those on the negative of scale see few opportunities. It's not enough for opportunity to knock on their door. They expect opportunity to break their door down and plead with them to pursue it. They go through life with arms crossed, doubting everything and everyone, and hanging a big "NO" sign on their foreheads. They can see only the risk and not the reward. And life obliges by constantly appearing risky and saying "NO" to them.
Those on the successful side see opportunities everywhere and are always listening for the lightest knock of opportunity upon their doors. "Never knowing when the dawn will come," as Dickinson says, these people position themselves to say "YES" to life because they know that is how life will say "YES" to them. They know that there is no reward without risk, but they are able to focus on the rewards. And life obliges by bringing both opportunity and reward their way.
Which are you? When someone comes to you with an idea, do you try to see the vision or do you look for the nearest escape hatch? Do you dream and follow your dreams or consider them a meaningless waste of time? You see, life is watching and it is constantly manifesting precisely what you expect from it.
Here are 13 opportunity affirmations written to help you commit to seizing opportunities and running with them. Dream on!
 1. Today is MY day! The winds of opportunity are blowing my way!
 2. Every day is blank and I am eager to fill it up with new possibilities!
 3. I see opportunities! I seize opportunities! I capitalize on opportunities!
 4. The more opportunities I listen to, the more opportunities I find!
 5. When I am ready to try, I am ready to fly!
 6. When I open the door for opportunity, I open the door for my dreams!
 7. When opportunity knocks, I am the first one to the door!
 8. As long as there is breath, there is opportunity!
 9. Opportunity is everywhere for me! My personal economy is booming!

Conscious Becoming – Day 239 of 365 Days to a Better You
~John Ruskin
It's happening every moment of every day. There, it just happened again. With every sensory impression, thought, word, action, experience, you're becoming something different than you were the moment before. So is everyone and everything else around you.
This is a natural process of our universe. As far as we know everything is subject to it. To say that you are this or you are that is not a static definition. It's a snapshot captured in an instant of constantly unfolding process; one that never ends.
However, this is more than a philosophical banter on a Monday morning. This universal process can be harnessed toward your objectives.
If you're constantly changing, why not change into what you choose? Why not make the process conscious?
You certainly have control of your thoughts, words, and actions. You can modify them before and as they occur. You may not have complete control of your sensory impressions or your experiences, but you do have some control over how you respond to them and who you become as a result of them.
Things aren't just out there randomly happening, though it can seem that way. What you're becoming, consciously or unconsciously, is the result of your active participation in the process. Your expectations attract like experiences. Your pattern of thought generate more similar thoughts. How you precess your experiences becomes your reality.
You are becoming. Don't become accidentally. Be conscious become who you choose.
Thank you all for stopping by and for your comments, likes, and support!

Why do flowers drop off veggie plants?
This article has been updated. Please check our website for the most recent story.
May 14, 2004
CORVALLIS - Do the flowers of your green beans, cucumbers, melons, squash, tomatoes, eggplant or peppers bloom, and then drop off without setting fruit? Or do they not set bloom at all? Some of the reasons behind blossom drop or too few blossoms on your vegetable plants may include too much heat, lack of pollination, too cold and water stress.
Deborah Kean, researcher at Oregon State University's Vegetable Research Farm in Corvallis, gives home gardeners some background on blossom drop in major groups of vegetables.
SQUASH – Gardeners tend to notice blossom drop in squash because squash flowers are so huge and noticeable. Squash have separate male and female flowers. The males always drop off after they shed their pollen. Female flowers may fall off due to lack of pollination. Blossom drop is often associated with cool temperatures, as bees and other pollinators aren't out collecting and transferring pollen as much when temperatures are down.
Sometimes female flowers will bloom before there are any male flowers out.
"Typically, a few female flowers will bloom before there are any male flowers, so, of course, they don't get pollinated," explained Kean. "Because female flowers already have what looks like a baby fruit on the end (inferior ovary, as botanists call it), people think the fruit is aborting when, in fact, it is just unpollinated flowers drying up and falling off."
If you want to help Mother Nature along, you can hand pollinate squash by removing a male flower, then rub the pollen producing anthers (top of the stamen) onto the stigma of the female flower.
TOMATOES AND PEPPERS, EGGPLANTS – In areas of Oregon where late spring and summer nights are cooler, blossom drop in tomatoes and peppers can occur. Too much nitrogen and water can stimulate a lot of leafy growth, but few blossoms. Heat can cause blossom drop as well. Tomato blossoms drop off without setting fruit when night temperatures fall below 55 degrees or day temperatures exceed 90 degrees for extended periods.
Cherry tomatoes and the OSU-bred parthenocarpic tomatoes, including Gold Nugget, Oregon Spring, Oregon Star, Siletz and Legend, are the exception, as they will set fruit over a wider temperature range than most large-fruited types. Parthenocarpic and cherry tomatoes will fruit throughout the heat of summer, even in Tucson, according to information from the University of Arizona.
Blossoms drop off if your tomato, pepper or eggplant plants are water stressed. Deep and infrequent watering is best. Also, make sure your plants are getting enough sun. If they receive less than 6 hours of sunlight a day, they may not bloom. Also, windy conditions can interfere with fruit set, so if you can create windbreaks in the garden, do so.
Pepper blossoms are even more sensitive to temperature fluctuations during pollination. Normal pollination and fruit set and don't occur when night temperatures fall below 58 degrees and daytime temperatures rise above 85 degrees. Under these temperature conditions, the blossoms fall off, often before pollination.
BEANS AND PEAS – Intense heat (generally higher than 95 degrees) or water stress (e.g. under watering) can cause beans and peas to drop their flowers. Snap beans produce way more blossoms than they can set pods, because bean breeders have selected for concentrated pod set.
Sometimes, during a heat wave, beans will drop blossoms, sometimes resulting in what growers call a "split set," or two distinct crops of beans in one set, explained Kean.
"This drives vegetable processors crazy, as they do a one time harvest," she said. "But this may not bother home gardeners."
CUCUMBERS, MELONS – Cooler weather keeps pollinators from flying. If female flowers are not pollinated, they will abort. Male flowers always drop, as they don't form the fruit; they provide the pollen.
CORN - Corn is another vegetable adversely affected by high temperatures. The corn tassel (pollen producing part of the corn flower) is often killed when temperatures are above 100 degrees. Injury to the tassel will prevent development of kernels in the ear. Fortunately for most parts of the state, summer temperatures don't stay above 100 degrees for long.
Vegetable varieties vary in their sensitivity to blossom drop. If you have trouble with one variety, try a different one next year. By planting varieties adapted to the growing conditions in your region, you can avoid many of the blossom drop and non-pollination problems. And remember, some flower drop on these garden plants is normal. Plants generally produce way more flowers than the number of fruits than they can support.
