Jersey Language and LanguagesEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Historically, the local spoken language in Jersey was Jèrriais. This is best understood as the Jersey branch (or branches) of the wider Norman language; the branches spoken in Guernsey, Sark and Alderney are recognisably of similar origin but differ considerably in detail.
The Norman language is a curious fusion: the structure is that of a Romance language (derived from Latin), but to this was added considerable Nordic vocabulary - bear in mind that the Normans were so called because they were by origin Norse-men - Vikings who had come south.
Jèrriais has two broad dialects, western and eastern. It may come as a surprise to find that an island just nine miles across would have two recognisably different dialects, but travel across the island was for centuries a difficult exercise - it was said that in 1800 the island had the worst roads in Europe. Consequently, not only were there the two major dialect grops, but also small isolated pockets (such as La Moye, at the southwest corner of the island) where distinctive forms of pronunciation and vocabulary developed.
There is a considerable corpus of written Jèrriais, including over 900 articles written for the Jersey Evening Post by George Le Feuvre (who wrote as George d'La Forge), and proceedings of L'Assembliée d'Jèrriais, a group founded in 1952 which gathered speakers of the language from across the island.
Jèrriais was never the language of the Royal Court; documentation from there (and subsequently from the States) was always written in what might be called "proper French". Equally the business of the church (and later the chapels) was done in French. But for most of the latter part of the 19th and early 20th century, most people in rural Jersey were trilingual - English was the language of commerce, French the language of church and law, and Jèrriais the language that did for everything else.
The rise of the school certificate and broadcast media changed this, and Jèrriais was largely squeezed out (although it had a brief renaissance during the Occupation, as the German forces could not understand what was being said!). Thanks to the efforts first of L'Assembliée d'Jèrriais and subsequently of L'Office du Jèrriais, the language has not yet become extinct, and it is thought that several thousand local inhabitants can speak at least a minumum amount of Jèrriais, with thousands more able to recognise it and gist its meaning. However, the number of people who are first-language speakers continues to decline, and is now believed to be barely above one hundred.
The rise of English
English only became a significant language in Jersey after the beginning of the 19th Century.
As has already been mentioned, the roads in Jersey were very poor in 1800, but shortly thereafter General George Don was appointed as the Island's Lieutenant-Governor. General Don set in motion a substantial programme of infrastructure works designed to make defending Jersey from French invasion easier; this included various fortification works and a network of new roads. The island could not supply sufficient manpower; consequently a massive immigration of English people began. Between 1821 and 1851 the population doubled from about 28600 to just over 57000.
Until this point the English Parliament in Westminster had been largely content to let Jersey run its own affairs, not least because the practicalities of maintaining links across a stretch of water patrolled by the hostile French Navy were difficult, to say the least. However, as the threat of war with France receded, and communications became easier, Parliament rapidly discovered that the English community in Jersey were deeply unhappy, and with good reasons.
Their most vocal representative was Abraham Jones Le Cras - a man of Jersey descent, but born and raised in England. Le Cras wrote a book in 1839, entitled The Laws Customs and Privileges and their Administration in the Island of Jersey, which contained a 52-clause petition to Parliament. Royal Commissions were appointed in 1840, 1846 and 1853 to investigate matters and step by step the States yielded to some of Le Cras' demands. Court proceedings were translated into English; elected Deputies came to the States, some of whom spoke neither French nor Jèrriais. Gradually the influence of English increased.
But old habits died very hard. Property transactions continued to be recorded in French in the Public Registry right through the 19th Century and nearly all the way through the 20th - only in about 1990 did contracts finally come to be written in English. Similarly a large corpus of Jersey legislation still exists only in French.
The use of French was not entirely limited to law and the church. There were a series of migrations to Jersey from France: the last and largest of these began in about 1850.
The vast majority of immigrants were agicultural labourers who had left Brittany and western Normandy in search of better wages and working conditions. By working hard they began to acquire property and became farmers employing labourers rather than hired men and women, and naturally some of these were French also (it was noted many years ago - by a Jerseyman - that the French were prepared to work for each other, but the Jerseyman was only prepared to work for himself). At its peak, between 1890 and 1914, the French-born population numbered about one in ten.
The population was significantly reduced in 1914 - many men were called up to the French Army and never returned - and in 1920 the States clamped down hard on further immigration, allowing only a strictly-controlled flow of seasonal labour. Gradually the remaining population integrated into the existing population of Jersey.
French is no longer the island's second language. When Britain joined the EEC (as it then was) in 1973 the traditional benefits in employing French contract labour disappeared. The gap was filled largely by Portuguese nationals escaping the last years of the Salazar dictatorship. Most came from Madeira, at that time an impoverished province neglected by the authorities. It is now thought that about one tenth of the population of Jersey is of Portuguese origin.
More recently, in line with the rest of the UK there has been a significant influx of "new Europeans", most of them originating in Poland and Romania.

Cavities in single crystalline silicon are shown to act as gettering centers for the vacancies produced during an ion implantation process: the effect of the gettering is observed as an increase of their total volume. Helium implantation at 20 keV with a dose of 2 x 10(16) cm(-2) plus a heat treatment at 850 degrees C for 3 hours produces the cavities; vacancies are supplied by a subsequent 0.8 x 10(16) cm(-2) helium implant. In this case the vacancy-gettering efficiency, i.e. average increase of vacancies involved in stable voids per helium ion, is found to be 0.53 vacancies ion(-1); about 4 times more compared to the case when the same 0.8 x 10(16) cm(-2) implant is performed on a virgin crystal. A further effect is the peculiar helium behavior which acts as a stabilizer of the vacancies produced during the implantation. The differential vacancy-gettering efficiency is found to increase with the helium dose: about 0.13 vacancies ion(-1) at 0.8 x 10(16) cm(-2), 0.4 vacancies ion(-1) at 2 x 10(16) cm(-2), and 3.8 vacancies ion(-1) at 2.8 x 10(16) cm(-2) .

California: Researchers have created a smartwatch-style health-monitoring gadget that doesn't require power or batteries from external sources to operate.
The self-powered device, created by a team at the University of California Irvine, can monitor the wearer's pulse and communicate with a nearby smartphone.
The energy supplied to this gadget can be generated by tapping the energy generators in its wristband. These generators provide power to the sensor circuitry and the LED display.
The near-field communication technology installed in it also enables the exchange of data and energy between the gadget and the connected smartphone.
A paper published in the journal Nano Energy about this technology was reported.
The paper explained how the gadget can monitor body temperature and blood pressure, among other health factors.
Rahim Esfandiar, assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science in Jamia, said that many important results have been achieved with this invention.
The gadget enables a futuristic, battery-less, wireless and on-demand anytime, anywhere health monitoring device, he said. It is made of low-cost flexible materials.


I, holobiont
In 2019, performer and choreographer Nella Turkki and Janis Heldmann created a short choreography for the Urban Art Festival in Herne. The 20-minutes performance named "I, holobiont" dealt with the topic of the human body as a multispecies entity.
A holobiont is a living ecosystem that consists of diverse cells, microbes and bacteria. These living beings share the same body and live in the interdependence of each other. Modern biology claims that the human body is such a system and therefore a holobiont.
How can we encounter the unknown in us and each other, if we are aware that our behavior is influenced by bacteria and microbes? Where are our borders to the environment, if we are not alone in our bodies?
These questions were the main motives of "I, holobiont". Furthermore, a recorded speech invited the audience to discover their own embodied awareness of their holobionic nature.
The performance is abvailable to be shown in festivals in Germany and Europe. The full length video can be requested.

The Huntington Beach Pump Station Urban Runoff Diversion Project was one of four channel sites chosen for the Urban Runoff Diversion Project within the Talbert Valley and Lower Santa Ana River watersheds; the other three Urban Runoff Diversion Projects were: the Santa Ana River, Talbert Channel, and Greenville - Banning Channel.
The purpose of the Urban Runoff Diversion Projects is to prevent untreated urban runoff from reaching the ocean waters. Urban runoff has been suspected as one of several possible sources that may contribute to high coliform bacteria counts along Huntington State Beach. The projects include the installation of pumps to divert over 95% of the non-storm runoff from the Talbert and Lower Santa Ana River watershed to the nearby OCSD wastewater treatment plant. The proposed projects divert seasonal urban runoff (containing animal waste, fertilizers, waste oils, and other chemicals that are nutrients for bacteria) into the sanitary sewer system at four different locations to reduce water pollution.
This project construction consisted of low flow pumps to divert non-storm water from the pump station wet well to an OCSD trunk sewer line on Adams Ave near Beach Blvd. within the City of Huntington Beach.

Book Review: This Brutal World (Phaidon)
"She referred to the high-rise as if it were some kind of huge animate presence, brooding over them and keeping a magisterial eye on the events taking place." Any book on architecture that will quote a passage from JG Ballard already has my heart, and a book on Brutalism is an essential component to your art library.
There has been a bit of a renaissance in the art world's appreciation for Brutalist architecture, the movement that saw a heyday in the 1950s to 1970s. Brutalism was all about that idea of presence, architecture imposed onto its surroundings in concrete, fortress-like structures that were awe-worthy, even in their inception. A new book, This Brutal World, shows how the twentieth-century movement influenced some of the great twenty-first-century architects, almost impelling Brutalism to move past its imposing Orwellian vision of the future as contemporary trophies for any city they occupy. This is where author Peter Chadwick wields his own muscles on the subject, showing the global spread of Brutalism. Incredible structures from Iceland, Azerbaijan, Germany, Singapore, Poland, Argentina and the USA are highlighted here, all with singular strength and all about that keyword, again, presence. May this now be a presence on your bookshelf. —Evan Pricco
The book is published by and available through Phaidon

One of the most
exciting and anxiety-producing times in a family's life cycle is when a
teen prepares to transition from life as a high school student to life
on a college campus. We tell our children lech l'cha -- go
off and find yourself -- and our children are only too eager to go
forth. But have we given them the necessary tools for the trip ahead?
When they get to
college, our students will come into contact and interact with students
from all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. But when they are
talking with their friends and questions come up about what Judaism
believes in, will they know how to answer? Will they be able to
explain Reform Judaism when faced with challenges from their more
traditional peers? We teach in our schools the importance of the Land
of Israel, but do we give our students the necessary knowledge about
the complexity of the situation to face the attacks from the
anti-Zionists? We want our students to live a Jewish life, but do we
pack even the very basic items -- a Tanach, a Kiddush cup or
candlesticks, and a mezuzah -- in their suitcases?
Packing for College: Where Does Judaism Fit? is a
program from the Union for Reform Judaism designed to ensure that our
students are ready for the challenges ahead. Created to support both
teens and their parents as they make the transition from high school to
college, Packing for College: Where Does Judaism Fit? provides
congregations with a sorely needed program for the post-confirmation
period while connecting families to the community during this
transitional time in the family life cycle. Best of all, the Packing for College materials are available TO DOWNLOAD free.
Packing for College can transform a time of tension and
dissention into a time of exploration and communication; it can help
make the transition period between high school and college a part of
the life cycle of families, and it creates rituals to celebrate the

wikiHow to Get a Mamod Steam Engine Going
Problems in getting your Mamod engine running properly? Whether you have a Stationary Engine or a Mobile Engine learn how to get up a head of steam and see your engine run just as it should.
Steps
 1. 1
 Buy a Mamod engine. These can be purchased cheaply on eBay and if you look there over a period of a month you will see many different types in various states of repair. They range from "ready for restoration" to "immaculate unused".
 2. 2
 Decide upon either one that remains in a fixed position, known as a Stationary Engine or one that moves along the ground known as a Mobile Engine.
 3. 3
 Know that there are some basic things you now need to do starting with "getting it running" like getting water and fuel.
 4. 4
 And always - ALWAYS take your alcohol or dry fuel engine outside to run it. The possibility of accidental fire in the home is just too great and easily avoided.
 5. 5
 Make sure that water is to be carefully poured into the boiler through the hole in the top where the Safety Valve is located. Do not fill the boiler. If there is an overflow hole on the end opposite to the chimney. Leave this open while filling and stop when water comes out. Use HOT water to minimise start time and maximise running time.
 6. 6
 On the boiler back plate, either look at the Water Level Glass or as with older engines, the water level hole, and stop filling when the correct level is reached. There needs to be some air space left in the boiler above the water to allow pressure to build up.
 7. 7
 If you have a Water Level Plug type, this is the time to screw it, finger tight, back into the hole. Make sure all the filler and overflow holes have their caps screwed back into place before fueling.
 8. 8
 Fuel next. Now let's look at what to do about fueling up. There are two types of fuel. Present day fuel is in solid tablet form which are placed into a burner tray. It may be necessary to cut these tablets down in size to fit your particular burner as they do differ in size in accordance with the boiler size. Older models have spirit burners which contain either non replaceable gauze or replaceable wicks that soak up their liquid fuel.
 9. 9
 The liquid you need here is Methylated Spirit or methyl alcohol. With old type rectangular shaped gauze style burners you should pour an amount of Methylated Spirit directly into the top of the burner. The burners were sized to be filled until you can just see the alcohol on top of the gauze. There will then be enough fuel for a good run of the boiler, but not enough to boil it dry. Do not refill the burner without topping up the boiler again. If you have an even older type of engine it will have a round tank burner with wicks numbering between one to three. Again, just fill up the tank through the filler hole and refit the brass screw cap finger tight.
 10. 10
 Now you are nearly ready to fire up. But wait, you need to squirt oil onto the moving parts. To put it simply, any moving parts that are in friction contact with another need some oil. You can but Mamod oil although any oil is better than no oil! Castor oil is one of the most effective options available. You can use car engine oil, handyman oil or the real thing. Don't use grease as it will not flow and so will not lubricate fully.
 11. 11
 Now check that your Safety Valve (and Water Level Plug) is tight and your water level is correct. Spin the flywheel using your finger to get the oil around a bit and to ensure everything runs smoothly.
 12. 12
 Place the burner close to the engine and ready to insert under the boiler. Just practice this once before light up. And then, the action begins! Using a box of matches, ignite the burner and using the burner handle, place the burning burner neatly under the boiler. From now on, do not leaving your engine until the burning process is completed and the hot boiler is not in harms way.
 13. 13
 Gradually the water will begin to get hot and then raise a head of steam. Steam will begin to hiss in the area of the piston. Now you can gently flick round the flywheel. It revolves in a clockwise direction as seen when looking at the piston side of the engine.
 14. 14
 Everything should now be running smoothly and you can let it run until the fuel runs out. If you want to stop it running very temporarily you may place your finger into the flywheel to restrict its movement. If you do that, the Safety Valve will fizz with boiling steam and water until you allow the flywheel to run again. This is not a dangerous thing to do and can be quite fun but just be wary of the very hot spitting steam!
 15. 15
 When you have had enough of running the engine, drain the water and just put it away - clean it if you want to but it's not absolutely necessary.

 Tips
 - Some suppliers offer a free advice service which can be a lifeline to new Mamod model enthusiasts.
 - When considering whether to buy brand new or secondhand you need to decide if you want a challenge or a ready to run model. As with most purchases, the more you spend, generally the better the value for money.
 - A word of wisdom and experience: Be prepared to be disappointed with your purchase from eBay but don't lose heart because 90% of non working engines can be economically restored without any experience. If your engine turns out OK you have got yourself a lovely model like kids enjoyed over 50 years ago.
 - Mamod parts do wear out and so if you find the Safety Valve does not allow adequate steam pressure, or the Piston/cylinder Assembly is losing excessive steam it will be necessary to replace the offending part. New parts can be cheaply obtained from Internet web sites and eBay sellers.
 - Any faulty or broken part or even a new boiler can still be easily obtained on line.
 - Most engines exchange owners on eBay. You will get pretty good value for money with some engines being rare and immaculate. You will get what you pay for and will always need to spend at least £35 to get something that is ready to run or maybe needs a small amount spent on it to make it run perfectly.
 Warnings
 - Make sure that when you refill the burner device (solid or liquid) that you always refill the water boiler. If not, you could damage the rubber washers on the Safety Valve in which case a new valve will be required. The soldered joints in the boiler bushes could also melt, which would need skilled repair to make the engine serviceable again.
 - Take care not to look down at the Safety Valve - it will take your eye out if it breaks! There has been at least one instance of a Safety Valve hitting the ceiling.
 - When refilling with meths, make sure the fire is out before beginning to pour, which is not always easy if the machine is being used outside as the flame is virtually invisible in sunlight. In 1976, there was a dreadful accident when a child was seriously burned while refueling an unextinguished burner. Mamod's sales collapsed after the case was featured on the "That's Life" TV consumer programme, this is what led to the meths burners being replaced with solid fuel burners now supplied.
 - Be careful when using Methylated Spirit or methyl alcohol because it easily spills and so can catch fire and burn where not intended. Anything that got wet with alcohol while you were filling the burner should be moved far away before you light up. The fumes of the alcohol can collect in a calm and enclosed space, so always light up in a well ventilated place.
 - Do not let young children near a hot engine because little fingers can get hurt or in the worst case, burned.

The Gummy Bear Romp
"The Gummy Bear Romp"
Levels: Low to Intermediate
Applications: Review or introduce 1.Colours.
2.Animals and/or objects vocabulary
3.Interrogatives:"Do you want...?"
"Do you have...?"
4.Responses: "Yes, I do"
"No, I don't"
"I don't have..." etc.
Supplies needed: 1.A bag of gummy bears or two.
2.A good picture dictionary or pictures of animals
or other objects.
Optimum group size: 1 - 30
Variations: Limited only by your imagination.
This particular activity can be adapted to almost any environment.
Start the activity with a bag of gummy bears. You'll probably find that each bag of candy has maybe 4 or 5 different colours. Depending on class size, you might want to form several groups.
1. Start off by making sure that everyone knows what a bear is and by showing the various colours of candy bears that you have; (usually red, yellow, green, white and orange). Begin by asking a student if he/she would like a particular colour of candy bear which you have.
ie"Do you want a red candy bear?"
Response will be either, "Yes I do" or "No, I want a (different colour) candy bear please". Of course, give them what they asked for.
Continue this process until each student has a candy bear.
2. Next, redo the questioning but this time, introduce colours which you don't actually have ie"Do you want a purple candy bear?"
Possible responses: "No, I want a red candy bear" or
"Yes I do" to which you respond
"I don't have a purple candy bear. What do
3.Continue with the questioning and alter as many variables as you wish which will stimulate an ongoing give and take dialogue.
Possible scenario: Teacher: Do you want a green elephant candy?
Student: No, I don't. I want a blue octopus candy.
Teacher: I'm sorry, I don't have a blue octopus
candy. What do you want?
Student: You don't have a blue octopus candy?
Teacher: No, I'm sorry I don't. What do you want?
Student: I want a pink worm candy.
Teacher: I'm sorry, I don't have a pink worm
candy. What do you want?
4. Once the students get the idea of the activity, they can take turns asking and answering the questions of the teacher or of other students.
You'll probably find that this activity works best with a picture dictionary which the kids can peruse while asking the various questions. This way, they encounter new words and get the chance to use them in conversation albeit in a fun and silly way. For example:
Student A: Do you want an orange gorilla candy?
Student B: No I want a purple underwear candy.
And so on.
Anyhow, have fun with it. Any ideas you may have on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Barbed Wire Tattoos
Barbed Wire Tattoos Barbed Wire Tattoos History
The Barbed Wire Tattoos originated during Second World War and were used by prisoners to mark their bodies. The barbed wire depicted their state of mind and also their captivity. These tattoos have different associations. Initially, they were mainly associated with prison. Of late it has gained popularity among youths as is used as a symbol of rebellion and freedom. Barbed wire tattoos symbolize control of certain portion of land and punishing those who do not respect this rule. So it began as a violent symbol. In many countries some of the people that spend time in jail get barbed wire tattoos that represent the number of years they spend serving their sentence.
It also used to be used to identify convicts that have been sent to prison for life! While in Russia, this tattoo was etched on a convicts wrist or all across the forehead, to show that he had been put in for a lifelong term of imprisonment for an unforgivable crime, such as murder. barbed wire tattoos were invented in 1800's and have undergone an interesting evolution. The reinvention of this design is related to the prison camps during the World War II. In Russian prison system, a barbed wire tied on the forehead of the prisoner indicated a lifelong imprisonment. It was then adopted into the Latino culture in California. Previously, the number of spikes on the tattoo indicated the number of years spent in the prison.
Barbed Wire Tattoos Meaning
The Barbed Wire Tattoos are often made to symbolize and unbreakable bond between the person and God. Many times you will see barbed wire tattoos wrapped around a cross. People will get these on their biceps, back, and chest. These tattoos are made to represent that no matter what happens in someone's life, their connection with God is unbreakable. They represent an unbreakable faith with God. The barbed tattoo has taken its inspiration from the crown of thorns which Jesus was made to wear before being crucified.
It is a symbol of strength and faith in the power of the almighty. It is also a symbol which represents the fact that the individual wearing the tattoo has seen much hardship in his life and has been able to withstand all hurdles and pain, because of his faith in the Lord. barbed wire are known for the extremely prickly and strong features, a barbed wire tattoo can show that the tattoo bearer has the same nature. In some sense it may be used to show physical strength along with the sheer grit and determination. A person who has strong inner strength often chooses to get this tattoo made.
Barbed Wire Tattoos Design
The Barbed Wire Tattoo Designs are supposed to be an expression of imperviousness and imprisonment which was used by the old prisoners during the wars to express trauma and theirs getting used to live even in cruel custody. barbed wire tattoo designs is a very traditional tattoo. It is often worn by men around their biceps. Another popular tattoo is barbed wire wrapped around a heart. There are two different designs, which can be made using the barbwire. The first of them is the intertwined barbed design and the other one is the spiked barbed wire design. Depending upon your liking, you can decide any one of the designs for your tattoo. This tattoo design is popular not just with the menfolk but with the women folk as well. Women usually get one that has fine delicate design without losing the raw look.
Barbed Wire Tattoos Ideas
These tattoos can be carved on any part of the body. Ankles, wrists, upper arms are some of the popular places. Some people even go for such a tattoo on the neck, back, waist and chest. When sculpted on wrists and ankles, these tattoo designs look like bracelets. On neck, these tattoos look like permanent necklaces. One can even go for a barbed wire tattoo on the waist to form a belt like design. The back is also a good place to get such a tattoo. Since it provides for a broad expanse of canvas to make a tattoo, it is a preferred location. The tattoos can also extend from one shoulder to another, or from one's neck to just above the bottom.

Google has recreated landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament and Wembley stadium in 3D using 45-degree aerial imagery.
However, the home of the Government, national stadium and the Royal Family is actually the fifth city in the UK to be represented in 3D – after Birmingham, Leeds, Reading and Stoke-on-Trent!
From today, the world can explore London from the comfort of their homes, as Google Maps launched 3D mapping of the capital.
Other famous landmarks such as the Shard and Tower Bridge can be seen in stunning detail, with browsers able to pan around the iconic buildings for a complete view.
London's famous sky line is visible in its full glory – but the site also shows how the spires, skyscrapers and the Gherkin sit alongside homes.
Google Maps said: "Using 45-degree aerial imagery, we're able to recreate entire metropolitan areas in 3D.
"This means every building, not just the famous landmarks, the terrain, and any surrounding landscape of trees are included to provide a much more accurate and realistic experience of the city.
"As you zoom into London on Google Maps or Google Earth, buildings and terrain will start to appear in 3D.
"Once you can see the buildings, pan, zoom, tilt and rotate to explore the 3D environment."

Factors Affecting Specific Gravity of Potatoes
Spectrum Analytic Inc
This article discusses some of the factors that can affect the specific gravity of potatoes.
Some work has shown an association between chloride (Cl) application and decreased specific gravity. However, other literature indicates that potatoes are more sensitive than many crops to shortages of chloride. Producers who suspect that excessive chlorides may be a problem should consider using potassium sulfate vs. potassium chloride for K2O.
Excess or insufficient soil moisture can lower specific gravity. Optimum moisture availability as tubers approach maturity can increase specific gravity.
Vine kill at peak physiological maturity increases specific gravity, and killing vines slowly with chemicals increases specific gravity compared to a quick kill by physical means.
Short day lengths during tuber formation contribute to higher specific gravity, so adjusting planting dates to take advantage of this can be beneficial.
While high levels of available Calcium (Ca) has not been proven to directly affect the specific gravity of potatoes, it has been shown to play a major role in improving several other "quality" factors in potatoes. Calcium is a structural component of cell walls. Adequate Ca, therefore, contributes to the structural integrity of plant cells. Potatoes low in Ca will have an increased susceptibility to internal brown spot and soft rot disease in tubers. In the studies where additional Ca reduced these problems, gypsum was applied at rates of 500 and 750 lb./acre in the root zone. High levels of available Ca has also been shown to improve potato skin-set.

This question was tagged with the tag. However, I thought the term "statistics" were tied to attribute, ability scores, or any other numbers and traits which systematically specify the character's strength and weaknesses in RPG context, and there is a question which fits this meaning.
Since there is no tag wiki and there are both kinds of questions, here I present a question. What does tag mean?
 - Is it tied to mathematical statistics, as the first question is tied to?
 - Is it tied to statistics on a sheet, as the second question is tied to?
 - Is it supposed to mean something else, or a combination of multiple candidates?
 - 1
 \$\begingroup\$ Statistics as a tag is iffy and ambiguous. A tag wiki entry would be best. It should be about the math; stuff on sheets is called many ambiguous things, and the only time we'd generalize it would be times where a general "records" tag would perhaps be more appropriate. \$\endgroup\$ – Kyle Willey Feb 20 '14 at 4:04
 - \$\begingroup\$ Worth noting: 8 of the existing questions tagged statistics refer to math/probability. Only one refers to a character's attributes. \$\endgroup\$ – AceCalhoon Feb 20 '14 at 14:18
 - 1
 \$\begingroup\$ _USER_ That's an interesting statistic. ducks \$\endgroup\$ – BrianH Feb 21 '14 at 19:53
I propose we make a tag synonym to and take it off entirely from questions that don't fit (they can probably just have the relevant system tags, or or whatever else).
 - \$\begingroup\$ Good point, since I couldn't think how different [probability] and [statistics] are, but I doubt whether I have such a privilege. \$\endgroup\$ – Arle Camille Feb 20 '14 at 4:08
 - 2
 \$\begingroup\$ For our intents and purposes they're identical. Technically, statistics mostly ignores probability and is more about data presentation, but from a game perspective probability is the only part of statistics we care about, and it's more true to the common-language usage. \$\endgroup\$ – Kyle Willey Feb 20 '14 at 4:11
 - \$\begingroup\$ [mtg:character-creation] Umm, clearly I use the MTG tag way, waaaay too much (on B&CG). \$\endgroup\$ – Alex P Feb 20 '14 at 4:21
 - \$\begingroup\$ _USER_ Hmm. The questions I can think of as falling under the actual concept of "statistics" are few and far between. I'm imagining something like a "What percentage of D&D organized play characters are casters?" >.> \$\endgroup\$ – Alex P Feb 20 '14 at 4:24
 - \$\begingroup\$ Yeah, we don't really do real "statistics", and really only care about it in the context of probability, since people usually don't come to rpg.se to ask about organized play stuff. \$\endgroup\$ – Kyle Willey Feb 20 '14 at 5:33
 - \$\begingroup\$ How about rather merging [probability] into [statistics], as probability is one aspect of RPG-wise statistics we look for? \$\endgroup\$ – Arle Camille Feb 20 '14 at 7:12
 - \$\begingroup\$ _USER_ Well, our probability questions aren't really about statistics, for the most part. And going probability->statistics doesn't solve the problem of having the "statistics" tag on questions about, like, Constitution modifiers. \$\endgroup\$ – Alex P Feb 20 '14 at 13:19
The math kind. You could contribute to clarification by submitting a tag wiki.
We have [probability] too which is somewhat redundant with that...
For "character stats" - if that's even a valid tag, and I'm not really sure it is - we could put in something else, perhaps [ability-scores], but I am not sure it's really a valid tag.
 - \$\begingroup\$ Character stats are usually single game related; if it's related to something like character sheet design, a record-keeping tag would be better, and if it relates to a single game it should be kept relevant to that game, as Fate, d20, and Shadowrun (to name three games off the top of my head) each keep wildly different attributes that should be measured in different ways. \$\endgroup\$ – Kyle Willey Feb 20 '14 at 4:10

Speed is a major consideration in computer-aided engineering (CAE). But simulations of mechanical structures within the scope of product development work are very time-consuming. In response, Fraunhofer IGD has created RISTRA, an interactive software solution that executes calculations on graphics processing units (GPUs) for faster results.
Simulations provide insights into component strength, and into the loads exerted by external forces. Numerical simulations require the creation of high-resolution grids comprising a value for each position within a given geometry. The greater the resolution, the more computing power is required to solve the corresponding system of linear equations.
Rapid Interactive Structural Analysis (RISTRA) is an interactive simulation solution from Fraunhofer IGD based on specially developed algorithms that are executed on a graphics card using optimized data structures. This allows faster solving of linear equations and implementation of matrices, with an increase in speed compared with conventional CPU-based simulations of up to two orders of magnitude—while maintaining low power consumption.
There is a further time saving for the graphical presentation of results. Simulation results that deliver insights into potential improvements can be visualized directly by the graphics card without the need for additional transfer of data.
In particular, RISTRA generates value added for end users when deployed together with a powerful CAD or CAE system. Vendors who incorporate RISTRA into their software solutions stand to gain significant competitive advantage—as their customers will be in a position to accelerate their product development activities.

Global investment in the low-carbon energy transition hit record levels last year, according to new data.
Research by BloombergNEF (BNEF) found spending reached $1.1 trillion as the energy crisis and policy action drove faster deployment.
Investment in low-carbon projects also appears to have reached parity with capital deployed in support of fossil fuel supply.
The Energy Transition Investment Trends report found that almost every sector achieved record levels of investment in 2022, including renewable energy, energy storage, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and hydrogen.
Renewable energy, which includes wind, solar, biofuels and other renewables, remained the largest sector in investment terms, achieving a new record of $495 billion committed in 2022, up 17% from the previous year.
Albert Cheung, Head of Global Analysis at BNEF, said: "Our findings put to bed any debate about how the energy crisis will impact clean energy deployment.
"Rather than slowing down, energy transition investment has surged to a new record as countries and businesses continue to execute on transition plans. Investment in clean energy technologies is on the brink of overtaking fossil fuel investments, and won't look back."

It is Not Possible to Swallow Your Tongue
Contrary to popular belief, it is not possible to swallow your tongue. Well, unless of course if you cut it off and then swallowed it… In any event, the tongue is rooted to the floor of the mouth by the lingual frenulum. This makes getting the tongue far enough back in the throat to actually swallow it and get it stuck impossible.
Also contrary to popular belief, one of the worst things a person can try to do for a someone having a seizure is to try to jam something in their mouth to hold their tongue down. They aren't going to swallow their tongue and someone trying to jam something in their mouth is very likely going to end up injuring them and, depending on what the person used, the seizure victim might just choke on what was jammed in their mouth. The person trying to force the thing in their mouth can also end up getting their fingers bitten severely, if they aren't careful, and it's hard to be careful when someone's jerking about.
Depending on the size of someone's tongue and where the lingual frenulum is attached, it is possible for a person having a seizure to have temporary blocking of the airway from the tongue; when they are having a seizure, the tongue can fully relax and fall back. However, this isn't particularly a problem while they are having a seizure as breathing is usually suppressed anyways. It can be a little bit of a problem when the seizure is over and their breathing resumes. However, a more likely choking hazard for someone having a seizure or unconscious is the person's own bodily fluids, including saliva and vomit, which they may breathe in once their breathing resumes; this can cause them to choke on these fluids, due to a suppressed coughing reflex while they are unconscious.
In these cases though, all you have to do is turn them on their side. The tongue will then naturally fall to the side of their mouth (gravity works!) and their bodily fluids won't run back down their throat, in both cases, freeing up the airway.
- For a seizure victim, rolling them on their left side is the preferred position. I was not able to ascertain why this was the case, but it was recommended by the epilepsy foundation.
- You should also never try to restrain the person having a seizure. Roll them on their left side and then move objects away from them, so that they don't injure themselves on those objects. But otherwise, you just have to let the seizure run its course.
- The lingual frenulum is the small mucous membrane that extends from the floor of the mouth to the mid-line of the tongue.
- In some people, this lingual frenulum can be so restrictive, in terms of restricting the movement of the tongue, that they can have trouble speaking. When this happens, it is known as Ankyloglossia, or "tongue-tie". Often these people cannot even extend the tip of their tongue beyond their front teeth. This is particularly a problem for babies with this condition as they have trouble breast feeding, thus trouble taking in enough food.
- The base of the lingual frenlum contains tissue that has a series of saliva glands on it. The two largest of these are called the Wharton's Ducts and are in the front.
- The tongue isn't just one muscle, as many people say, "the strongest muscle… etc." In fact, it's made up of many muscles, which allows for the great range of movement most people have with it, with the muscles running in different directions.
- As you age, the number of taste buds you have tend to diminish. An average child is born with about 10,000 taste buds. An average elderly person only has about 5,000. This is partially why many kids hate vegetables so much. Vegetables can be very bitter to "super tasters" or those close to that. As you age and your taste buds diminish, this bitter flavor goes away somewhat and changes the taste of the vegetables dramatically in the process.
- The tongue never really gets a rest. Even while you are sleeping it is constantly pushing saliva into the throat, making sure you don't drool all over your pillows.

Love and Money argues that we can't understand contemporary queer cultures without looking through the lens of social class. Resisting old divisions between culture and economy, identity and privilege, left and queer, recognition and redistribution, Love and Money offers supple approaches to capturing class experience and class form in and around queerness.
Contrary to familiar dismissals, not every queer television or movie character is like Will Truman on Will and Grace—rich, white, healthy, professional, detached from politics, community, and sex. Through ethnographic encounters with readers and cultural producers and such texts as Boys Don't Cry, Brokeback Mountain, By Hook or By Crook, and wedding announcements in the New York Times, Love and Money sees both queerness and class across a range of idioms and practices in everyday life. How, it asks, do readers of Dorothy Allison's novels use her work to find a queer class voice? How do gender and race broker queer class fantasy? How do independent filmmakers cross back and forth between industry and queer sectors, changing both places as they go and challenging queer ideas about bad commerce and bad taste?
With an eye to the nuances and harms of class difference in queerness and a wish to use culture to forge queer and class affinities, Love and Money returns class and its politics to the study of queer life.

Conclusion: A Cultural Politics of Love and Solidarity
"In Love and Money Henderson attempts to look at contemporary queer cultures through the lens of social class. Henderson is critical of the distorted ways in which American media represents queer cultures and identity and seeks to study the difference that social class makes on queer subjectivity and representation."-Rohit K. Dasgupta,Transnational Cinemas
"Henderson's affective approach to the case history yields rich accounts of the resourceful survival strategies through which queer films and novels get made despite limited means. Exemplifying the values of love and solidarity that she finds in her cases, her critical practice offers innovative approaches to thinking queer and class together and fresh answers to longstanding questions about what it means to make art in a market economy."-Ann Cvetkovich,University of Texas, Austin
Throughout, Henderson grounds queer cultural criticism in the liminal movements and moments of everyday life, treating this criticism as art and understanding criticism as inside of, and a contributor to, cultural production. She also formulates a new kind of classed-queerness, one characterized by softness and slowness, of people trying hard to live and survive as best as they can. Summing Up: Highly recommended."-CHOICE
"It may be that the book is, at its core, an unusually intimate excavation of media-cultural experience. This much is evident in the carefully crafted prose and the frequent self-reflexive passages in which the author's various roles—as researcher, critic, fan, and consumer, but also as queer and classed subject—are laid more bare than is customary. Henderson reveals herself as voracious observer, situation her half-dozen primary objects in a jam-packed mediascape, where no one-off episode or festival favorite is too far off the mainstream radar. This is commendable, and invigorating, while the field tends to compartmentalize mainstream and experimental film and media as nonconversant tracks. Love and Money is also, irrefutably, hopeful. This may also be a suit that many of us are unaccustomed to wearing, especially as regards class politics at the current historical juncture. But in these pages, it might pay to try. It is, at least, as Henderson herself concludes, 'a place to start.'"-Cynthia Crisis,International Journal of Communication
"Drawn along disciplinary lines of queer theory, feminist theory, and critical cultural studies, Love and Money contributes vital scholarly debates over the emancipatory potential of cultural recognition versus economic redistribution. As a scholar of communication, Henderson adds valuable complexity to this discussion, highlighting the ways in which queer visibility depends on a class - race reduction mediated through tropes of bodily excess, disenfranchisement, and trauma. Through timely and profound analysis she weaves together disparate experiences and expressions from a variety of queer cultural texts to present a language of queer-class engagement that articulates the categories of race and gender while working to recenter class as a vital frame through which to understand the production of sexual difference." -Meg Rooney,QED: A Journal in GLBTQ Worldmaking
"Love and Money is at once fiercely intellectual and full of heart, formidable and invitingly funny. In this series of essays, Lisa Henderson offers some of the sharpest, most imaginative analysis of queerness and social class out there, shaking up entrenched ideas about how the two are and should be related."-Joshua Gamson,University of San Francisco


Russell Harvard, Deaf Actor in 'Mockingbird,' Breaks Ground in Broadway Casting
The theater is all about artifice; it's in the DNA: The lights are brighter and colored than in real life; the actors' voices are louder than normal—assuming you are not near someone having an all-too-intimate cellphone conversation. Up close, their makeup is often grotesque. Their posture is different: They face toward the audience when it suits them. Even the most well-appointed kitchen-sink drama—the epitome of realism—has that pesky lack of a fourth wall. In fact, members will suspend their disbelief for just about anything. Puppeteers on stage with their hand up a puppet's butt.
Russell Harvard in To Kill a Mockingbird
Russell Harvard plays Link Deas in the current Broadway production of "To Kill a Mockingbird," using sign language to get visceral effects. Julieta Cervantes
And the audience pretty much accepts that.
Now, it seems they will even accept a deaf person in hearing role.
Russell Harvard, a deaf actor who plays Boo Radley and Link Deas—who are hearing characters—in the current Broadway production of To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the novel by Harper Lee, has been making inroads toward that end in recent years. Last season, he played Cornwall opposite Glenda Jackson in King Lear on Broadway. In these roles, Harvard has had a speaking and signing interpreter with him on stage. As Cornwall, in his most dramatic moments, Harvard even spoke his own lines.
'Hey, Boo!'
Moving Harvard into Mockingbird required no rewriting per se. A few speeches were switched around, Harvard says, "but nothing major. Some lines were cut and pasted to where they needed to go and where they needed to come out."
From an acting standpoint, it was just like preparing for most other roles. "Boo is not simplified," Harvard says. "He is a little on the spectrum, so we assume he is a little autistic. They probably didn't have a word for autistic or autism. So they just labeled him 'crazy.' But he likes to work with his hands a lot. He is very tactile. He made dolls. It wouldn't make sense for him to stand there and be neutral with his hands down. So he's fidgeting with his hands."
As an audience member at Lear, I found an interpreter onstage at first a little disconcerting—but just a little and only for a couple of minutes. I had been given no advance word that anything unusual would be done. That it worked so well speaks to Harvard's ability and his belief in the value of different—I wouldn't use the word disabled loosely here—actors in theater.
First of all, talking with Harvard is a treat for the senses. He will speak and sign to the translator and he will sign, sometimes simply but at other times expansively. You don't always know where to look, but anywhere is probably correct. And signing can be a very pretty language to follow.
Magnificent Obsession
Harvard got the acting bug early, while watching the movie versions of The Wizard of Oz and The Neverending Story. And later he saw his cousin act in a student play: "My cousin, who was deaf, played the Wicked Witch of the West at the deaf school. As a person, she is the opposite of the witch. And I was like: Oh my god! She can play the witch?
"I was enthralled and inspired. I saw her three times, and I was like, Oh yeah, I am down.
"For some reason I have been drawn to villainous characters—maybe in my past life I was a bad person," he says and laughs. "You don't want to be a bad guy in real life but in the stories and movies I've watched it seems like a lot of fun. I was always fascinated by the Wicked Witch of the West even though she frightened me."
Once the obsession took hold, it never let go.
"I wanted to do a Christmas play, [about] Santa Claus lost in Oz—and I did!' he says. "I asked if I could play the witch. And they said, 'No you're a boy, and the witch is a girl.' I said I could be a boy wit—and it worked out.
"We had three sequels: third grade, fourth grade and fifth grade. I finally got the nerve to tell a classmate I wanted to play a female witch. And my father for the first time came and saw the show."
And after the show, Harvard's father went up to Russell and asked, "Why? Why are you playing a girl?"
"Because I want to," he answered.
Usually, parents get a crestfallen look when their child says they want to be an actor or just work in the theater. But Harvard makes it clear that he never really felt like an outcast growing up: "I had a great childhood, school experience. We embraced each other." But still, at least at that time, Harvard was not thinking of a career, which was a good bet given the famously high unemployment rates in the business.
"I never thought I would do I would do it professionally in my life. I had an inkling. But I told myself you know it might not happen. So I should be prepared. I should have a backup plan. I thought I would teach theater."
Harvard was in and out of school, working toward a teaching degree. He worked with preschoolers in Alaska. He decided to go back to school and drove from Alaska to Washington, D.C., and immediately had an audition for There Will Be Blood. And eventually he got the very visible role of H.W., Daniel Day-Lewis' adopted son. Scott Rudin, producer of To Kill a Mockingbird, was the producer for the movie.'
Grand Gestures
Acting in your own language at a high level is difficult enough, but acting in two languages, often simultaneously, poses a host of other complications. For one, American Sign Language has its own syntax. Harvard's parents were deaf, so, like many native speakers—in any language—he did not take grammar lessons in ASL. This can cause some communications problems, not to mention acting problems—actors can't be reading lips and following ASL at all times—so Harvard adjusts depending on the role.
Harvard can hear some things with a hearing aid. Obviously, rehearsal helps a lot, he says, "you get used to it." He hears some actors very well; Ed Harris (Atticus Finch) is "perfectly clear." Some deaf actors, he says, will have cue lights off stage. For Mockingbird. Harvard chose not to memorize the English text, preferring to just go with ASL. In some plays, he will take out his hearing aid entirely, but on this production he is taking the challenge to hear because the audience responds to the English text.
Using a hearing aid, he says, is not for hearing English words, it is for hearing what is necessary in the ambient environment: a sound or a silence that serves as a cue or a motivation the helps him create his performance.
With an all-deaf or mostly deaf cast, the dynamic changes versus show with a heterogeneous mix of actors. "Because ASL is very pictorial," Harvard says, "the audience will hear the line and see the sign and they'll be like, 'Oh, it's very poetic. It's art.'"
The trick in signing, as in speaking, a line is to convey a greater meaning. "You don't just say the line. You translate the meaning and make it [visually] into art." So signs become larger or smaller to match the emotions of the text.
Harvard cites and demonstrates a speech Link has in Mockingbird, his arms and hands gesturing grandly—this creates a visceral effect above and beyond anything that the words can communicate: "Link talks about what happens to [the defendant Tom Robinson], how something happened to his left arm. And I explain how it happened very pictorially, and people see how it happened. ASL is a three-dimensional language, compared to a spoken language."
This, Harvard says, makes a strong case for deaf actors. "I read a quote once: 'If I am making an effort to communicate and you feel like you are having a hard time, then who are you to call me disabled?' It's like the other way around." This theme is explored in plays like Equus and Children of a Lesser God, that seemingly disabled people actually live richer lives than so-called normal people.
Wish List
Harvard actually feels that Children, which featured Phyllis Frelich, a deaf actress, working with John Rubinstein, a hearing actor would be better served if it was done all in sign language. Instead of having James (Rubinstein's hearing character) repeat Sarah's (Frelich) words. Because, he says, watching it as a deaf person, "was so tiring and so challenging. They could take out the lines and put them somewhere else. They could use supertitles. I wish there was more of that."
He goes on to say, "I would love to have an all-deaf cast of Rent. Or like in Spring Awakening having Melchior played by a deaf person" with someone else singing his songs. He would also like to play Frank N. Furter in The Rocky Horror Show: "I would love all the main characters to be played by deaf people and the Transylvanians would be hearing, singing for us. But there is another theater that has the rights to it for now. It's never been done in ASL, not since 1975."

In this talk we propose a model for the extraction of a non renewable resource in an economy where, initially, only one agent is enabled to perform extraction tasks. However, at certain non predictable (random) times, more companies receive the government's approval for extracting the country's resources. We provide a set up suitable for the use of standard dynamic programming results for both, the competitive and cooperative schemes; we develop the corresponding HJB equations, prove a verification theorem, and give an example. Our framework is inspired by the trends that oil industries are experiencing in countries like Mexico and Russia.

I know it's a type of capillary electrophoresis, but I don't get how does the separation happen exactly.

Many of us are using isotachophoresis all the time without even realising it. The explanation that follows may not be exact, but I hope that it helps.
Firstly, think about a simple electrophoresis set-up - in agarose electrophoresis of DNA we have a uniformly distributed buffer such as Tris-borate. The current is carried by the borate ions and the DNA molecules run through the homogeneous electric field towards the anode. They separate by size because of the sieving effect of the agarose matrix.
Now let's think about what is happening in an SDS-PAGE separation (a Laemmli gel). Just to remind you:
The running (or reservoir) buffer is Tris-glycine pH 8.3
The stacking gel is in Tris.HCl pH 6.8
The separating gel is in Tris.HCl pH 8.8
When the power supply is turned on, the glycinate ion in the top reservoir begins to move into the stacking gel. When it hits the zone of pH = 6.8 it is much closer to its pKa and so is now only weakly charged. Consequently it slows down. Meanwhile the chloride ions in the stacking gel have begun to move rapidly down through the stacking gel (towards the anode). This creates a discontinuous electric field: the chloride zone has a lower resistance than the glycinate zone so the field strength in the chloride zone is weaker than the field strength in the glycinate zone. This is a stable situation because the ions cannot stray into each other's zones: if a glycinate ion happens to diffuse forwards into the chloride zone it will experience a weaker field and slow down, whereas if a chloride ion diffuses back into the glycinate zone it will hit the stronger field and quickly move ahead again.
What about the SDS-protein complexes that were in the well? (I'll just refer to these as proteins from now on.) Their ionic properties lie between the glycinate and the chloride, and so they eventually end up moving through the stacking gel between the trailing zone of glycinate and the leading zone of chloride. Any protein that finds itself in the glycinate zone will move quickly forward (due to the higher field strength) and any protein that moves ahead by chance into the chloride zone will slow down due to the weak field strength, falling back into the protein zone. And in this way these zones move in a procession through the stacking gel, with the proteins being focussed into a very narrow region in the middle. The glycinate, the proteins and the chloride are all moving at the same speed, and so this is an example of isotachophoresis (isotacho- = "same speed"). The polyacrylamide gel matrix in the stacking gel has no separating function - its role is simply to stabilise against convective effects. The proteins can reach very high local concentrations in the stacking gel, and if you look carefully you will often see refractive effects as your sample runs through the stacking gel. In this way the protein sample is "applied" to the separating gel in a very tight band, perfect for achieving high resolution separation (bands broaden by diffusion in the separating gel so the tighter the bands ar eat the point of loading, the better the final result.)
Once the sample hits the separating gel, all of this breaks down: the pH is now 8.8 so the glycinate becomes strongly charged and zooms off ahead with the chloride through the gel, leaving the proteins to move more slowly due to the sieving effect of the polyacrylamide matrix.
It is possible to set up an isotachophoresis as described above in isolation. Individual proteins will have slightly different ionic properties and will line up in the region between the two buffer ions, allowing for their separation.
