Roman hoard could possibly be legendary Nibelung treasure
Silver-plated statues from a military commander's portable chair destroyed by the treasure hunter while digging the treasure up
An amateur treasure hunter in Germany has discovered a Roman hoard of gold and silver jewellery worth €1 million (£824,679), which could be part of the legendary Rhinegold treasure from 5th century Nibelung mythology.
According to The Local, the haul, found in Rhineland Palatinate in West Germany, is Eastern European in style and includes leaf-shaped solid gold brooches and other jewellery from ceremonial robes, silver bowls set with gold and stones, as well as small gold and silver plated statues that once adorned a military commander's portable chair.
The unnamed hunter found the treasure after digging illegally in the forest and tried to keep his discovery secret, selling off part of the hoard on the black market.
Unfortunately for him, the black market sales came to the attention of the German authorities, who seized the remaining treasure.
Missing pieces
"The looter rendered up [the pieces] himself - but only under pressure from investigators," said Ulrich Himmelmann, head of the Speyer branch of the state archaeology authority.
According to state's chief archaeologist, Axel von Berg, the treasure hunter also found the actual commander's chair during his investigation, but destroyed it as it was "brutally torn out" of the earth.
Prosecutors are now investigating and trying to recover the missing pieces from the hoard, but they have not released any information about the charges against the treasure seeker.
In Rhineland-Palatinate, it is considered to be a minor offence to search with a metal detector, and taking the find is illegal. Hiding any artefacts from the authorities counts as fraud, and any attempts to sell on the artefacts can lead to charges of dealing in stolen goods.
According to German archaeologists, the treasure is believed to have been buried 1,500 years ago when the Germanic Teutons were pillaging and plundering the crumbling Roman empire. It is thought that a Roman ruler might have buried the treasure while fleeing the area, or that a Teuton barbarian hid the treasure and never came back for it.
Nibelung treasure?
"In terms of timing and geography, the find fits in with the epoch of the Nibelung legend," von Berg said.
Nibelungenlied Poem
The Nibelungenlied poem, preserved in Manuscript C
"But we cannot say whether it actually belongs to the Nibelung treasure."
Von Berg said that the original owner "lived well" and perhaps could have been a prince.
The Nibelungen were the royal family of the Burgundians, an East Germanic tribe that settled in the Rhine Valley in the 5th century. A famous mythical poem exists, known as the "Nibelungenlied", which means "The Song of the Nibelungs".
The poem tells the story of Siegfried, the crown prince of Xantan who journeys to Worms (a city in Rhineland Palatinate) to woo King Gunther's sister Kriemhild, kills a dragon and is later murdered by the warrior Hagen due to his perceived threat to the throne.
In the poem, Hagan steals Siegfried's treasure from the widowed Kriemhild and sinks the hoard into the Rhine, prompting revenge from Kriemhild, which ends in bloodshed.

How To Appeal Denial Of A Referral Or Pre-certification For Treatment
When an insurer denies coverage for a referral to another doctor or for pre-certification for a treatment, the denial rests on the insurer's opinion that what is being suggested is not "medically necessary."
There is no clear cut definition of "medical necessity." Instead, the definition depends on the context and who is making the decision. The basic concept is that medically necessary services are those which are reasonable and necessary or appropriate based on current clinical standards of care.
Build your case for medical necessity by taking the following steps:
 - Step 1. Pull our a copy of your insurance policy.
 - Each health insurance policy defines medical necessity in wording which is specific for the particular insurer. Locate the description in your insurance policy. Note the page on which it is located and the exact wording of the definition.
 - Locate the policy's specific exclusions (treatments etc. which are not covered). Note whether the requested referral or treatment is specifically excluded. If not, note the page number where the exclusions are listed.
 - Step 2. Check to determine if either the referral or treatment is required to be covered by the laws in your state. If there is such a mandate, note the citation and the exact wording.
 - To learn the law of your state, go to The Actors' Fund Of America's Health Insurance Resource Center ( offsite link, click on your state, then click on "Insurance Guides" and/or Complaints/Appeals). If you have difficulty, contact your Department of Insurance. They can guide you. To locate contact information for your state insurance department, see: offsite link. Click on "NAIC States and Jurisdictions."
 - Step 3. Put together a brief description of your current health condition. Include a chronology of your symptoms and any tests and treatments you have undergone which relate to the current subject
 - Step 4. Obtain a letter from your doctor explaining why the referral or treatment is medically necessary. Ask the doctor to include references which suppport his or her reasoning.
 - Step 5. If you can, obtain additional evidence to support your request. For example, letters from other specialists or copies of studies or reports. Work with your doctor and/or his or her head nurse to pull together this information.
 - Step 6. Write a letter which includes the above information. We provide a sample letter which you can link to in: Health Insurance: Claims: Appeals: Sample Letter: Not Medically Necessary

Mission-driven professionals are not in it for the money. They place their desire to fulfill the mission over themselves. Doing mission-driven work can be gratifying. But, this work is also incredibly draining. The rewards can be minimal both emotionally and financially. With these challenges, the mission-driven professional finds themselves feeling empty and exhausted.
Self-care is taking care of yourself. While so much of the media frames self-care as a privilege and an act of consumerism, self-care is about finding ways to keep yourself sane. Self-care can be as simple as taking a deep breath.
Understanding yourself is the key to doing authentic self-care. You cannot keep yourself sane if you don't understand the things that make you crazy. For the mission-driven person, their work and their motivations for doing that work are integral to their construct of self.
This online course helps mission-driven professionals understand their work and personal issues, develop new strategies to fold self-care into their lives, and maintain their routines long-term. This course includes videos and activities to help you be your best you.

F40 – the group that has fought for fair funding for schools in England for over two decades – has published a Briefing Paper outlining its current position in relation to the national funding formula for schools and will present it to Members of Parliament on Monday 15 October.
Following the introduction of the government's new national funding formula (NFF) in April, f40 has reviewed its position and agreed the main elements of future campaigning aimed at achieving further improvements to the formula.
"F40 welcomed the government's commitment via the NFF to a fairer system for allocating school funding, and the extra £1.3billion made available for schools between 2018 and 2020," said Ivan Ould, who chairs the group and is also Lead Member for Children and Families at Leicestershire County Council.
"But f40 has fundamental concerns about the NFF and believes it has failed to deliver the level of fairness of funding allocation that is required and there is unanimous recognition within our membership that there is still more work to do to tackle remaining locked-in inequalities."
The main issues raised by f40 are:
- f40 seeks a significant increase in the amount invested in education funding to meet the cost pressures facing all schools. The government must take account of f40's index linked activity-led formula which sets out the true costs of delivering to Ofsted standards. This clearly shows the real cost of running a school. f40 believes the current funding shortfall in schools is £2bn pa.
- Funding continues to be allocated on an historic basis and the average of decisions made in the past by local authorities that had different spending powers. There is no rationale or understanding of the needs of children or schools. f40 continues to argue that an index-linked activity-led formula is the only way to ensure sufficient funding in the system, which is correctly balanced to meet needs. This would allow for future changes of policy direction and allow the creation of a world class system of education to allow our pupils to compete in the post-Brexit age with the rest of the world. Index linking means that the activity-led formula can keep pace with the cost changes as they occur. We will present our updated modelling to the government this month.
- f40 seeks a review of the amount of funding for basic entitlement (core costs such as teachers and heating) relative to the educational additional needs. Core costs must be sufficient to run the school before the costs of additional support are added to school budget. An NFF underpinned by an index-linked activity-led formula could achieve this.
- A key principle for the NFF was that pupils of similar characteristics should attract similar levels of funding wherever they are in the country (allowing for the area cost adjustment). Therefore, NFF should be applied to all schools on a consistent basis. However, the protections applied, such as the 0.5% funding floor, 'lock in' some of the historical differences. Transition to the new formula is sensible but locking in past inequalities is not.
- The Minimum Funding Level (MFL) is applied to bring schools up to an artificial minimum level, but schools with pupils with few additional needs are being funded at the same level of funding as a school with a greater number of additional needs pupils. This is not fair. An activity-led NFF should undertake this role. If the Minimum Funding Level is to stay, then it should be fairly applied to take account of the additional educational needs of individual schools.
- The NFF needs to cover all the funding for mainstream schools, not just the pupil-led elements. NFF has elements that are individual to each school e.g. business rates and sparsity. Funding for these cannot continue to be based upon historical costs. Exceptional premises should be funded at realistic, not historical levels. f40 believes that all schools should be exempted from business rates with a one-off compensating cost adjustment nationally for local government.
- f40 seeks continued funding flexibility to support specific local issues or organisational requirements. The government should allow an element/percentage of the formula to be targeted using local discretion (via the Schools Forum or similar representative group).
- f40 seeks to see plans for the funding formula beyond 2020. We require the establishment of rolling 3-4 year budget settlements for schools which are inflation-proofed, including funding for cost-of-living increases.
- f40 seeks an appropriate quantum of funding be made available for the high needs block. An immediate injection of new funding, estimated on increased costs and demand since 2015, of at least £1.5bn pa. is required. High needs funding supports the most vulnerable pupils in our schools: those with complex SEN, those who are excluded or at risk of exclusion and those that cannot access education for medical reasons. Demand for high needs funding is out-stripping the budgets available. Complexity of the high needs services demanded by children (and their parents) is far greater than just a few years ago: more accurate medical assessment and improved methods of treatment increase demand still further. The high needs crisis has been created in part by the continued use of historic funding levels. Short-term attempts to fix the problem are woefully inadequate. We also want to see the introduction of an annual index-linked review for this block and we request a review of SEN policy and guidance to help manage down demand more effectively.
- f40 seeks a review of the early years national formula to make it fit for future use. An increase in the quantum of funding for early years providers is needed to take account of the pressures of the living wage and the impact of 30 hours. We also seek an annual index-linked review for this block.
- f40 seeks clarity on the way that the Central Schools Services Block will work. It should be index linked to meet increasing costs.
- f40 wants to see parity with Multi Academy Trusts with them being held more accountable, especially with regard to pay and distribution of funding between individual academies in the MAT. An NFF means equality for all schools, including those in MATS.
- f40 seeks a review of the way that Home to School Transport is funded and used. Government needs to recognise the real impact of reducing school transport on pupil choices.
Cllr Ould continued: "Implementation of the NFF has clearly had more to do with stability and the protection of schools against loss, rather than creating a fairer funding system across all schools and local authorities. We contend that an additional funding is needed along with an additional "F" to create a new NFFF – a National Fair Funding Formula.
"In essence the government failed to effectively deal with the core problems associated with the fair funding of our schools. Therefore, the job isn't finished and f40 has no choice but to continue to campaign for further change to assist our schools with very low levels of funding."

This paper presents the design and performance results of a pair of 6-kA high-temperature superconducting (HTS)-copper current leads, in which, over a short length at the warm end (e.g., 77 K) of each HTS section, comprised of paralleled Bi-2223/Ag-Au tapes, is operated in the current-sharing mode. Because of their reliance on vapor cooling, the leads are applicable only to liquid helium-cooled superconducting magnets such as those used in high-energy physics accelerators and fusion machines. The experimental measurements have demonstrated that key performance data of the new 6-kA HTS-copper leads agree reasonably well with those expected from design.

This seems to me to be nonsense, not a contradiction. Presumably, the way this is laid out, the first three statements are the hypothesis, and the fourth is the conclusion. Because Phil being gone and John being dead have nothing to do with Tim having bread, it seems to me that this can be reduced to
Tim has bread ==> Tim doesn't have bread
This is not a contradiction. If Tim has bread, then it is not true that he doesn't have bread, so the first statement does not imply the second. If Tim indeed doesn't have bread, then the first statement isn't true, so any statement at all could be appear as the conclusion, and the implication would be true, but meaningless.
BTW, in English, we don't say someone has "a bread": we say someone has bread or has a loaf of bread.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, expects the United Kingdom hydroponics market size to grow at a steady CAGR of 6.24% during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029. The hydroponics market in the United Kingdom is constantly expanding as agricultural practices become more technologically advanced, as well as a spur in the demand for foods that would otherwise be impossible to plant on the country's soils. Hydroponics technology offers greater yields than conventional agricultural methods due to longer harvest cycles, which will assist the growth of the United Kingdom hydroponics market during the forecast period. Also, rising consumer demand for nutrient-dense, high-quality products, and increasing public awareness of the need for organic and sophisticated food crops drive the market expansion.
United Kingdom Hydroponics Market – Overview
In hydroponics, plants are grown in water-based fertilizer solutions rather than soil, which is a type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture. In addition to having their roots in the nutrient-rich liquid, plants that grow on land or in water can also hold their roots in a non-reactive media, such as perlite, gravel, or other substances. Numerous advantages of hydroponics include water savings, increased biomass, and protein production, and the ability for plants to grow in harsh environments or space. There are many uses for hydroponics, including the commercial growth of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants as well as for research and teaching.
Impact of COVID-19 on United Kingdom Hydroponics Market
Given the severity of the Covid-19 pandemic, many people now have a serious opinion about eating outdoors. The communities around the sphere have demonstrated a preference for home cooking and self-made/homemade meals, with health and food safety constituting the major focus. The hotel and food industries are now in danger as a result. The adoption rate of urban hydroponic agricultural systems is expected to rise significantly after the devastating coronavirus pandemic. During the early stages of the pandemic, the agriculture sector encountered significant challenges. There were severe labor shortages on farms, some farmers missed their window of opportunity to harvest seasonal crops, agricultural product prices were falling, and logistics were disrupted.
United Kingdom Hydroponics Market – By Input
On the basis of input, United Kingdom hydroponics market is divided into Nutrient and Growth Media segments. During the forecast period, the nutrient segment is expected to record growth at a faster rate in the United Kingdom hydroponics market by input. Because hydroponic crops grow without soil, the need for peripheral nutrients is extremely high for hydroponic-based crops. With the increasing use of soilless growing techniques in hydroponics, most crops are grown directly in the nutrient medium with the roots. This causes an increase in the need for nutrients in this business.
There is high competition in the United Kingdom hydroponics market. Major companies in the market include GrowUp Urban Farms Ltd., Jones Food Company, HydroGarden Wholesale Supplies Ltd., Indoor Harvest Corp., Pegasus Agriculture Group, Agricen, BrightFarms, Freight Farms, Green Sense Farms, and AeroFarms. The companies use various strategies, including increasing investments in their R&D activities, mergers, and acquisitions, joint ventures, collaborations, licensing agreements, and new product and service releases to further strengthen their position in United Kingdom hydroponics market

Mason Koelm, Undergraduate student, International Relations and Criminology, Law, and Justice
Returns Native American artifacts
Hometown: St. Louis, Missouri
Faculty mentor/advisor: Dr. Lara Noldner
What is your degree program and expected graduate date?
- International Relations (B.A.), Criminology, Law, and Justice (B.S.), Museum Studies Certificate, Anthropology Minor. Anticipated graduation in May 2021
Please describe your research: This research project was funded by a federal NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protections and Repatriation Act) grant and sought to identify any NAGPRA items in the UI Office of the State Archaeologists' (OSA) collections that are from sites with mortuary features. The OSA has full inventories of all human remains and associated funerary objects in their possession, but many older collections have not been re-examined for possible unassociated funerary objects and sacred items. I analyzed archival material to determine which objects were included under the terms of NAGPRA, curated spreadsheets which compiled information on such objects, conducted physical inventories, and created graphics for a tribal summit which was postponed due to COVID-19.
In simple terms, why does this research matter? Museums and research collections have long been instruments of colonization. NAGPRA and collaboration between tribes and archaeologists serve as ways to decolonize museums, improve relations, and right historic wrongs.
How soon after starting at the University of Iowa were you able to participate in research? I was a junior when this project began, so about 2 and a half years.
How has being involved in research made you more successful at the University of Iowa? I have been interested in the legal dimension of archaeology since high school. Working at the Office of the State Archaeologist was the first opportunity for me to take what I had read about and apply it to the field, in an extremely meaningful way. It also opened the door to my current work: researching the provenance of African art objects for the Stanley Art Museum.
What are your career goals and/or plans after graduation? After graduating, I will attend law school, where I hope to continue research into cultural heritage law. After that, I would love to work with museums, collections, and nonprofits to act as a liaison on other legal puzzles regarding museums, art, and cultural heritage.

FIGUEROA, Fernanda; SANCHEZ-CORDERO, Víctor; ILLOLDI-RANGEL, Patricia y LINAJE, Miguel. Evaluation of protected area effectiveness for preventing land use and land cover changes in Mexico. Is an index good enough?. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2011, vol.82, n.3, pp. 951-963. ISSN _PHONE_.
Effectiveness of 44 federal protected areas (PA) for preventing land use and land cover changes (LULC) in Mexico is examined, comparing results and methodological approaches used in previous studies. We quantified the percentage of transformed area (TS) in 2002 and its rate of change between 1993 and 2002. We compared observed TS rate of change in PA, adjacent areas, and their ecoregions of location. An effectiveness index was build to produce a characterization of LULC processes developed for each PA. In 2002, 77% PA showed less than 20% covered by TS; nearly 30% of PA showed a reduction of TS. Additionally, in 30% of PA, TS increase exceeded the mean rate for all PA. More than 70% of PA showed lower LULC rates than their surrounding areas, and in 80% of PA, these rates were lower than those observed in their corresponding ecoregions. Overall, PA were effective to prevent LULC processes as previously suggested. However, trends derived from this type of analyses depend on methodological specifications. Effectiveness indexes should be complemented with a detailed characterization of LULC processes and their interpretation should correspond to the specific methodological approach used.

While revising your work, ask yourself these questions about theme and emotional truth:
|The heart of the matter?|
- Theme: Can you describe in one sentence what your story is about? It's not easy to encapsulate your work this way, but it's important. A succinct description will help the decision-making process. For example, if you want to introduce, change or eliminate a character, you can ask yourself whether the result would support or detract from the aim of your work. This is a good question to ask in any writing dilemma.
- Emotional center or heart, emotional truth: A good question to ask here is whether the work as a whole engenders reader empathy. It's not just a question of whether readers will care about what you've written, but whether they would say, "What if this happened to me?"
Tips: Describe your story in a 20-word sentence, or logline. For samples, visit ScriptShadow and Writers Store. Ask yourself whether your project creates distance or elicits empathy. Was this your intention? If not, would the work be better served by, for example, an empathetic villain? For an author whose fully developed characters aren't all good or all bad, see Dennis Lehane.

Standing High Jump
This tutorial demonstrates how to use feed-forward control to perform a standing high jump task. It shows how to use different types of functions for feed-forward control, as well as the how to setup the objective function.
Piece-Wise Constant Control
 - Click on File → Open…, and open Tutorials/Tutorial 2a - Standing High Jump.scone
In the editor, you'll see a section called 'Controller', with the following code:
# Controller for the Model
FeedForwardController {
 symmetric = 1
 # Function for feed-forward pattern
 PieceWiseConstant {
 control_points = 2
 control_point_y = 0.3~0.01<0,1> # Initial y value of control points
 control_point_dt = 0.2~0.01<0,1> # initial delta time between control points
The FeedForwardController is the type of controller, and the Function defines the type of function. In this case, we define a PieceWiseConstantFunction function with two control points, and a variable time between control points. The values after control_point_y and control_point_dt define parameters to be optimized, and have the following format:
mean~standard deviation
 - To start the optimization, click on Scenario → Optimize Scenario
If you do not wish to optimize a parameter, for instance if you wish to use a piece-wise function with a fixed time interval of 0.1 seconds, simply change control_point_dt to:
control_point_dt = 0.1 # this parameter is no longer optimized
Polynomial Control
Instead of using a PieceWiseConstantFunction function, it is also possible to use a PieceWiseLinearFunction function or a Polynomial, simply by changing the type of the function.
Keywords in SCONE are case sensitive.
To use a polynomial to define the muscle excitation signal for each muscle, change the code into the following (see also Tutorials/Tutorial 2b - Standing High Jump - Polynomial.scone):
# Controller for the Model
FeedForwardController {
 symmetric = 1
 # 2nd degree polynomial ax^2 + bx + c
 Polynomial {
 degree = 2
 coefficient0 = 0.3~0.01<0,1> # initial value for c
 coefficient1 = 0~0.1<-10,10> # initial value for b
 coefficient2 = 0~0.1<-10,10> # initial value for a
Jumping with a Straight Upper Body
If you have run the optimization for a while, you will notice that the model has a tendency to lean backwards during the jump. The reason for this is that our optimization objective only cares about how high it jumps, not about the pose of its upper body.
The objective function is defined by the Objective and Measure tags. The objective type is a SimulationObjective, which is used for objective functions that are the result of a simulation. Inside the Objective you'll find the Measure that defines the fitness function of the objective.
By default, JumpMeasure measures the maximum height of the Center of Mass (COM) of the model. We can add an additional term to also take into account the orientation of the upper body (see also Tutorial 2c - Standing High Jump - Straight Pose):
# Composite measure for straight pose jumping
CompositeMeasure {
 # Fitness measure for jumping
 JumpMeasure {
 termination_height = 0.75
 prepare_time = 0.2
 # Penalize backwards leaning pose
 DofMeasure {
 dof = pelvis_tilt
 position { min = -45 max = 0 abs_penalty = -10 }
What we've done here is changed the measure type to CompositeMeasure, and combine our JumpMeasure with an additional DofMeasure. The latter applies a penalty when a specific Degree of Freedom (DOF) is outside a specific range. In this case, we define the valid range to be between -45 and 0 degrees, and apply a penalty of -10 per degree at which the pelvis_tilt is outside this range.
Setting the initial parameters
Since we don't want to redo our entire optimization, we jump-start the optimization by initializing the parameters using the result of an earlier optimization. This is accomplished with the following line:
init_file = data/StandingHighJumpFC2.par # use previous result
 - Run the scenario by pressing Ctrl + T
You will notice that the simulation is already jumping, because the parameters from the previous optimization were taken.
 - Start the optimization through Scenario → Optimize Scenario
As you can see, the initial fitness of the optimization is a lot higher than when starting from scratch. As the simulation progresses, you'll see the upper body staying more straight during the jump.
In order to make the optimization run as fast as possible, keep as few optimizations running as possible. Any optimization can be terminated by clicking on the little 'x' in the upper right corner of the optimization window.
Jumping with Knees Up
By default, JumpMeasure tracks the height of the COM of the model. However, it can also be changed to measure the maximum height of a point of a specific body part. For instance, we can measure knee height by inserting the following tag (see Tutorial 2d - Standing High Jump - Knees Up):
body = tibia_r
Note that, since our controller is symmetric, it doesn't matter which side of a body part we choose. In addition to changing the target, we will also add some control points to accommodate for the more complex activation pattern required for this type of jump:
control_points = 4
The init_file will still be used to initialize the first two control points from the earlier jump, but the last two will be optimized from scratch.
 - Start the optimization by pressing ''Ctrl + F5''
After clicking on one of the results, analyze the activation patterns in the Analysis tool, to find out what jumping strategies are found by the optimizer. You might notice that the optimization of this scenario does not progress as fast as the initial one. Apparently, optimizing knee height is more complex than optimizing the COM position!

Love to do some charity work. Have a passion for writing and do it in my spare time
W. Mocroft, Philanthropist, Master Degree in International Business, Las Vegas
Answered Dec 26, 2018
Correct answer is option B
From the periodic table, we know that Strontium has 38 electrons. Therefore, any option that does not add up to 38 should be eliminated. This makes option A and C wrong.
Strontium as you may know is an alkali metal; and alkali metals are very reactive elements. The normal configuration of strontium is 2 – 8 – 18 – 8 – 2 but when excited, one of the eight electrons bump up to the valence shell making the configuration become 2 – 8 – 18 – 7 – 3.
The only difference between option B and option D is that either one more or one less electron in the outer two shells. Option B is the excited state and option D is the natural (ground) state of Strontium.
Each element has an electron configuration that corresponds to its proton number. These electrons are responsible for the reactivity of the element. Strontium is an alkali metal and alkali metal and is one of the most reactive elements on earth. It has a normal configuration with two valence electrons in its outer shell. However, as the element is excited, one of the eight electrons bump into the valence shell.
Ultimately, the new configuration becomes 2-8-18-7-3. This is how it binds to other atoms and creates strong compounds. It has many shells in its atoms, so the outer electrons are further away from the nucleus. This is what allows this phenomenon to occur.

On June 21, hundreds of communities across Canada will hold numerous events for National Aboriginal Day to celebrate Indigenous cultures and contributions to Canada. These events will include workshops, traditional games, pow-wows, cultural celebrations, concerts and wreath-laying ceremonies.
Until recently, accounts of Canadian history have excluded the roles and contributions of Indigenous peoples to Canada. Over the last 20 years, numerous reports and several national Indigenous organizations have acknowledged the detrimental impact of this exclusion. These Indigenous groups have sought to remedy the omission and raise awareness among Canadians about Indigenous peoples' histories and cultures.
More recently, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission made several recommendations to incorporate the histories and perspectives of Indigenous peoples into the Canadian educational system. The objective is to create a shared understanding and to achieve reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians.
National Aboriginal Day has become a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.
The Origins of National Aboriginal Day
National Aboriginal Day was officially recognized in 1996, but the idea had its origins more than a decade earlier. In 1982, the National Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of First Nations) called for the creation of a National Aboriginal Solidarity Day. The purpose was to address Canadians' lack of awareness of the history and cultures of Indigenous peoples.
In 1996, the Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples recommended that federal and provincial governments, in collaboration with Indigenous organizations, implement public education aimed at helping Canadians better understand Indigenous peoples' contributions, history and current circumstances. As part of this initiative, the Commission recommended that Parliament and national Indigenous organizations create a First Peoples Day to highlight and recognize Indigenous peoples' contributions and achievements.
Shortly after the release of the Commission's report, June 21 was officially designated as National Aboriginal Day through a proclamation by then Governor General Roméo LeBlanc.
The summer solstice was selected because of its important symbolism for Indigenous peoples and communities, many of whom continue to participate in cultural celebrations on or near the longest day of the year.
At the provincial/territorial level, in 1990, Québec became the first province to recognize June 21 as a day to celebrate the achievements and cultures of Indigenous peoples.
In 2001, the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories passed the National Aboriginal Day Act, making the territory the first in Canada to designate National Aboriginal Day as a statutory holiday. Yukon followed suit when National Aboriginal Day was designated as a statutory holiday in the territory in 2017.
Indigenous peoples' Contributions to Canada
The contributions of Indigenous peoples to Canadian society are diverse. They include the areas of politics, music, art, literature, military service, education, sports and culture, among others. Historically, examples of these contributions included canoes, snowshoes and foods, such as corn and wild rice.
Apart from these better known examples, however, many Indigenous contributions have generally remained hidden, unknown or untaught. Few Canadians, for example, are aware of the military role that Indigenous peoples played in conflicts such as the War of 1812, the First World War and the Second World War.
In both world wars, a total of about 7,000 status Indians voluntarily enlisted in the Canadian military. The number of Indigenous people who enlisted was likely much higher, as Métis and Inuit soldiers were not officially recorded at the time. Many received medals and awards for heroism and bravery.
The influence of Indigenous peoples' political cultures on the Canadian notion of democracy is also significant. The idea of a central government with a separation of powers was a combination of political ideas from Europe and Indigenous peoples' governance institutions, specifically those of the Iroquois and Algonquin nations.
Indigenous peoples have also been influential in changing the constitutional landscape of Canada. For example, Indigenous peoples have fought to ensure that their rights are protected within the constitution.
Legal cases initiated by Indigenous peoples contributed to the creation of the modern treaty process and recognition of aspects of Aboriginal self-government.
The contributions of Indigenous peoples are visible in many sports Canadians enjoy, including lacrosse and snowshoeing. Lacrosse was originally played by Indigenous people on the east coast of North America. Europeans modified the Indigenous peoples' version of the game and it became the form of lacrosse that is now Canada's national summer sport.
Indigenous peoples have also been active in sport through participation in the Olympic Games and the development of their own competitive sporting events, such as the North American Indigenous Games.
As the 1996 proclamation stated: "The Aboriginal peoples of Canada have made and continue to make valuable contributions to Canadian society." For many Canadians including Indigenous peoples, it is therefore appropriate to designate a day each year to celebrate the contributions, cultures, and histories of Indigenous peoples.

The word "converse", as it is practically used in mathematics text if not necessarily by dictionaries of logic, is somewhat fuzzy, and the meaning of "the converse of theorem such-and-such" sometimes has to be deduced from the context.
As long as we only have atomic claims $P$ and $Q$ with the implication $P\to Q$, then without doubt the converse of $P\to Q$ is $Q\to P$. But when there are more than one premise, some room for interpretation opens up.
The problem is that in the usual style of written mathematics, the two theorems
Theorem 1. If $a$ and $b$ are coprime and $a\mid c$ and $b\mid c$, then $ab\mid c$.
Theorem 2. Assume that $a$ and $b$ are coprime. If $a\mid c$ and $b\mid c$, then $ab\mid c$.
mean exactly the same thing -- usually we're not even trained to notice the difference between them as we read a mathematical text. However, according to a strict logical interpretation of "converse" these two clearly equivalent theorems would have different converses:
Converse 1. If $ab\mid c$, then $a$ and $b$ are coprime and $a\mid c$ and $b \mid c$.
Converse 2. Assume that $a$ and $b$ are coprime. If $ab\mid c$, then $a\mid c$ and $b\mid c$.
In practice, however, most authors don't care about this, and just speak of "the converse" with the meaning "the possible interpretation of converse that makes sense in the context". The reader is supposed to figure out for himself which of the premises look like something that could conceivably have a reasonable chance of being consequences of the original conclusion, given the other premises.
In the language of formal logic, another way to express the problem is that ordinary mathematical reasoning (presented in natural language) doesn't distinguish consistently between
- $P_1 \vdash P_2\to Q$
- $P_1 \to (P_2 \to Q)$
- $(P_1 \land P_2) \to Q$
These are generally just different formal representations of the same concept inside the working mathematician's mind, and it can take some training and experience with formal logic to even appreciate that a useful distinction between them can be made. Therefore a notion of "converse" that assigns crucial meaning to these essentially syntactic differences will have a hard time agreeing with how the word is used in mathematical writing that is not concerned with logic in particular.

A study found an association between migraine headaches and breast cancer. In this study, women who got migraines were more than 30% less likely to develop invasive breast cancer compared to women who didn't get migraines.
The researchers reviewed the medical histories, including migraine histories, of nearly 3,500 women ages 55 to 79. More than 2,000 of the women had been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The researchers compared the risk of breast cancer between women who got migraines and women who didn't get migraines.
- Invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC) was 33% less likely in women who got migraines.
- Invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) was 32% less likely in women who got migraines.
Migraine only seemed to affect hormone-receptor-POSITIVE invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC). The risk of hormone-receptor-negative invasive ductal breast cancer was the same whether or not the women got migraines. This result suggests that hormones play a role in how migraines may influence breast cancer risk.
The researchers also looked at whether any migraine treatments might have affected the outcome. But it was definitely the migraines that had the effect on risk, not the migraine treatments.
Estrogen can promote the development and the growth of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer cells. Doctors also have seen a link between estrogen levels and migraine headaches in women. When estrogen levels fall -- right before your period, for example -- women who suffer from migraines are more likely to have one. When estrogen levels rise -- during pregnancy, for example -- women who suffer from migraines are less likely to have one.
The researchers think that the same changes in estrogen levels that make a woman prone to having migraines also may cause the lower breast cancer risk they saw in this study.
This type of research offers doctors information on how breast cancer happens and helps them create better ways to prevent or treat breast cancer. Stay tuned to Breastcancer.org for the most up-to-date news on research that shapes the future of breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

compressor blade damage
compressor blade damageclick for a larger image
Various types of damages that compressor blades can sustain. Only one or two may take place simultaneously though these have been combined in this illustration.
The various types of damages to compressor blades and their appearances are as follows:
i. Bend. The blade gives the appearance of ragged edges. Smooth repair of the edges or surface in question can be carried out, but the extent of the damage that can be repaired is limited.
ii. Bow. The main source of this type of damage is a foreign object. The blade is bent at the tips and the edges.
iii. Burning. The damage is caused by overheating. The surface of the blade is discolored. If the overheating is severe, there may be some flow of material as well.
iv. Burr. A ragged or turn-out edge is indicative of this type of damage. This takes place during the grinding or cutting operation of the blade at the manufacturing stage.
v. Corrosion. Oxidants and corrosive agents, especially moisture present in the atmosphere, are the main reasons for the corrosion or pitting of the blades. Normally, regular washing is sufficient to prevent it. The blade gives a pitted appearance, and there is some breakdown of the surface of the blade. Also called pitting.
vi. Cracks. Excessive stress from shocks, overloading, or faulty processing of blades during manufacturing can cause cracks and result in their fracture.
vii. Dent. These can be caused by FOD (foreign-object damage) or strikes by dull objects like those in bird strikes. Minor dents can be repaired.
viii. Gall. This type of damage is from the severe rubbing of blades, in which a transfer of metal from one surface to another takes place.
ix. Gouging. The blade gives the appearance of displacing material from its surface, and a tearing effect is prominently visible. This type of damage is from the presence of a comparatively large cutting material or foreign body between moving parts.
x. Growth. The damage manifests itself in the form of elongation of the blades. Growth type of damage takes place because of continued and/or excessive heat and centrifugal force.
xi. Score. Deep scratches are indicative of scoring, which is caused by the presence of chips between surfaces.
xii. Scratch. Narrow and shallow scratches are caused by sand or fine foreign particles as well as by mishandling the blades.
xiii. Pitting. Pitting takes place because of atmospheric corrosion, especially seawater. The surface of the blade shows signs of pitting.

A review of the magnitude, impacts of abandoned / lost fishing gear and options for mitigation
Food and Agricultural Organisation FAO - Project Dates:
Description of Project:
Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a problem that is increasingly of concern. Various United National General Assembly resolutions now provide a mandate for, and indeed require, action to reduce ALDFG. However there is a lack of good information about a) the reasons for ALDFG, b) the extent of the problem, and c) the most effective solutions for ensuring that the prevalence of ALDFG is reduced in the future.
Poseidon prepared a Technical Paper, the principle purpose of which was to consider a number of discrete issues related to ALDFG;
- What is the magnitude and composition of ALDFG;
- What are the impacts of ALDFG on the marine environment and what are the financial costs;
- Why is fishing gear abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded;
- What is being done to combat ALDFG and how successful are these initiatives proving to be;
- Recommendations on a range of possible solutions to reduce ALDFG.

Papilio has color vision when searching for nectar among flowers, and their compound eyes are furnished with six distinct classes of spectral receptors (UV, violet, blue, green, red, broadband). The compound eyes consist of many ommatidia, each containing nine photoreceptor cells. How are the six classes of spectral receptors arranged in the ommatidia? By studying their electrophysiology, histology, and molecular biology, it was found that the Papilio ommatidia can be divided into three types according to the combination of spectral receptors they contain. Different types of ommatidia are distributed randomly over the retina. Histologically, the heterogeneity appeared to be related to red or yellow pigmentation around the rhabdom. A subset of red-pigmented ommatidia contains 3-hydroxyretinol in the distal portion, fluorescing under UV epi-illumination. The red, yellow and fluorescing pigments all play crucial roles in determining the spectral sensitivities of receptors. Spectral heterogeneity and random array of ommatidia have also been found in other lepidopteran species. Similarities and differences between species are also discussed.}, pages = {791--800}, title = {Spectral organization of the eye of a butterfly, Papilio}, volume = {189}, year = {2003} }


Visual slam is a technology based on computer vision for precise indoor location and positioning.
In particular, Visual SLAM refers to the complex process of calculating the position and orientation of a device with respect to its surroundings, while mapping the environment at the same time, using only visual inputs from a camera. For example, Dragonfly is a visual SLAM technology.
Introduction to Visual SLAM
SLAM stands for "Simultaneous Localization and Mapping". This means that the device performing SLAM is able to:
 - Map the location, creating a 3D virtual map
 - Locate itself inside the map
Visual SLAM, also known as vSLAM, is a technology able to build a map of an unknown environment and perform location at the same time. It simultaneously leverage the partially built map, using just computer vision. As a result, Visual SLAM uses only visual inputs to perform location and mapping. This means that the only sensor required is a camera that has to be mounted on board of the device. No other external sensors are required, thus making this technology more flexible than LIDARS or UWB.
Today, with the great improvements in automation and robotics, vSLAM is one of the most challenging open problems for developing autonomous robots and vehicles.
For this reason, we have developed and created Dragonfly to solve this problem. We are proud to offer a robust and reliable technology for precise indoor location of robots, drones, autonomous vehicles.
In conclusion, Dragonfly is a unique patented vSLAM technology that can work with monocular and stereo cameras. In addition, it is able to provide an accuracy up to 5 cm, without the use of LiDARs or of motion sensors.
How can visual SLAM be used and what are the applications?
Visual SLAM can be used in many ways, and its main scope is to provide precise location to autonomous devices, robots, drones, vehicles.
As a result, we work with different companies all around the world to address multiple requirements and projects with Dragonfly. This is a partial list of the typical use cases that can be addressed by Dragonfly:
 - Provide location to robots and drones. Dragonfly comes with a direct ROS integration, upon request, becoming the first SLAM for ROS technology;
 - Remotely monitor the location of devices: Dragonfly can be used to track forklifts inside a warehouse for example, to optimize the operations;
 - Integrate autonomous navigation on board of Unmanned Ground or Aerial Vehicles (UGV, UAV);
 - Control the movements of machines for collision avoidance.
Drones can be programmed to use Dragonfly as a location engine, and the location data can be used as a source for autonomous navigation. In addition, ROS nodes available upon request to integrate Dragonfly SLAM for ROS.
Robots and automated devices can be tracked using Dragonfly, with an extremely high level of precision. Furthermore, ROS nodes available upon request to integrate Dragonfly SLAM for ROS.
It is possible to install Dragonfly on Forklifts, to monitor their movements inside warehouses and improve the operation management. As a result Dragonfly is currently used by many of companies for advanced warehouse management. Are you interested in a ready-to-use WMS? Take a look at the On.Plant WMS!
Dragonfly is a key component for indoor navigation. In particular, where GPS is not precise enough, or inside GPS-denied environments, Dragonfly can provide the optimal level of precision for autonomous navigation.
How can vSLAM be integrated?
Accuware Dragonfly provides all the tools to developers to integrate vSLAM. For this reason, Dragonfly offers API able to provide the real-time location of the device, and the output is a complete 6-DoF. It includes:
 - X, Y, Z coordinates, expressed in meters from an origin.
 - Absolute WGS-84 coordinates (latitude, longitude) + altitude in meters.
 - Yaw, Pitch, Roll : these values indicate the rotation of the device on the three axes. You can read more about the principle behind the Aircraft principal axes on Wikipedia.
We are open to customize the API output upon request. In particular, our R&D team can tailor the payload to address different requirements (it is possible to add the speed indication, the deliver the output in other geographic protocols, to change the type of format…). So please feel free to contact us if you have custom requests.
Accuware provides ROS nodes for direct ROS integration so that Dragonfly can be seamlessly integrated on board of Robots and devices using ROS.

New oil train rules could improve safety (copy)
A train of tanker cars, carrying crude oil according to the placard pictured, enters the north end of Bend at Empire Avenue in this file photo.
The Bend City Council officially opposes crude oil coming through the city by rail, though the resolution passed by the council is largely symbolic.
On Wednesday, the council unanimously adopted a resolution that takes a stand against oil trains moving through Bend due to the safety and environmental risks.
The resolution does not mean oil trains are banned from Bend — cities aren't able to do that, according to city staff. But what the resolution does do is join several other cities in Oregon to put pressure on the federal government to instill more regulations for oil traveling by train.
"It's important for us as one of many cities to come together with this message," Mayor Sally Russell said in the council's meeting Wednesday.
The resolution states that the City Council will support an areawide environmental impact statement "to identify the cumulative effects that would result from existing and proposed oil-by-rail terminals, mitigation of safety and environmental risks, and the development and review of a comprehensive Health Impact Assessment prior to approval of any new oil transfer and storage permits by any state, regional or federal agency."
The resolution also calls on the city manager to write to federal representatives and senators, as well as Gov. Kate Brown, asking that they develop legislation that would require railroad companies to make information about both current and future oil transport by rail public, and provide adequate notice to local communities of any plans for new or expanded rail facilities.
The inspiration behind the resolution came from Councilors Gena Goodman-Campbell and Melanie Kebler, who in March asked the city's environmental committee to research the safety and environmental issues around oil trains and the derailments that have happened around the Pacific Northwest.
Safety considerations of oil traveling through Bend has long been a conversation. The issue came to the forefront in 2016 after a major derailment spilled roughly 42,000 gallons of crude oil in the community of Mosier in the Columbia River Gorge.
The full resolution can be found on the meetings and agenda page of

Why stop at trains carrying oil? Don't forget the trains that carry chemicals, carbon emissions producing automobiles, coal, etc. Heck, just ban the slow moving trains from piercing the city's atmosphere, altogether.
What a waste of taxpayer money on a document not worth the paper it was printed on. Liberals are really clueless as they drove home after.
So you are asking the same government that stopped the Keystone Pipeline which is the most environmentally safe way to ship it, and that's even out of John Kerry's mouth. The city needs to spend its time better addressing issues of greater impact like a growing homeless population & fire safety measures for its citizens.
Funding Secured
At least we aren't paying them to focus on areas outside of their control, in one of the fastest growing cities in America, with many novel and fast changing problems to solve, amirite?
Gary Mendoza
why tackle real, often tough, problems?; isn't it better to virtue-signal, accomplish nothing but feel better about yourself?
Welcome to the discussion.
Be Truthful. Don't knowingly lie about anyone or anything.

This guide assists the relay engineer in understanding the application considerations when applying breaker failure protection (BFP) to power circuit breakers.This guide describes methods to protect a power system from faults that are not cleared because of failure of a power circuit breaker to operate or interrupt when called upon by a protective relay, It provides the user with a guide in how to detect that a breaker has failed to clear a fault, and how to electrically isolate the fault after the breaker has failed to clear the fault. Additionally, schemes which provide primary protection of the power system from performance failures of the power circuit breaker other than fault clearing failures such as failure to operate, either tripping or closing, manual or automatic, are also described. Such schemes when applied are typically integrated as a part of the overall breaker failure protection scheme. Also covered are recent practices which take advantage of microprocessor based relay technologies to enhance breaker failure protection such as by using peer to peer communication over a LAN, by using additional switchyard measurements, by integrating the breaker failure protection with the primary protection, and by applying multiple schemes within a single breaker failure relay.

shades of red, pink, orange, bronze, yellow, white
Form and Size:
Daisy spray mums have a leafy stem with many blooms. The blooms have several petals that uniformly extend out from an eye-like center. Gerbera daisies and chrysanthemum daises are similar.
7 – 14 days, sometimes longer
Cut under water and place in fresh water with flower food. The stem must be cut above any woody portions to ensure good water intake. Do not pound stem ends, this will not help to ensure good water intake.
History and Usage:
A member of the Compositae (aster) family, chrysanthemums, including daisy mums, originated in China. They were first introduced to Japan in 400 A.D. They were then considered the emblem of the imperial family. They were introduced to Europe in the late 18th century. Chrysanthemums have a long vase life, so they go well in any arrangement. Daisy spray mums can be used as a filler flower, or in an arrangement as the main attraction.
Points of Interest:
Relatives of the chrysanthemum include cosmos, dahlia, calendula and zinnia. In Italy, mums are synonymous with death and funerals.
