Ten Questions for Elizabeth Miki Brina
by Staff
This week's installment of Ten Questions features Elizabeth Miki Brina, whose debut memoir, Speak, Okinawa, is out today from Knopf. As a child, Elizabeth Miki Brina held her mother at a distance. She was embarrassed by her mother's accent, how conspicuous it felt in their predominantly white suburb in upstate New York. She did not yet understand the complexities of her parent's relationship—her mother was born on U.S.-occupied Okinawa and met Brina's father, a white American soldier, while working as a nightclub hostess. But as an adult, Brina begins to look at her parents with new eyes. She reexamines her memories, her family history, and the history of Okinawa itself. "I had not learned this history, my mother's history, my history, until I was thirty-four years old," she writes. "Which is to say that I grew up not knowing my mother or myself." Speak, Okinawa is a virtuosic and unflinching search for clarity. "In exploring how one comes to be, Brina's prose illuminates and dazzles—and we see, in the end, what was intangible made clear in her writing," writes Bryan Washington. "Speak, Okinawa is indelible, and Brina's words are unforgettable." Elizabeth Miki Brina is the recipient of a Rona Jaffe–Bread Loaf Scholarship and a New York State Summer Writers Institute Scholarship. She lives and teaches in New Orleans.
Elizabeth Miki Brina, author of Speak, Okinawa.
1. How long did it take you to write Speak, Okinawa?
I started writing the essay that would eventually become the book in the summer of 2015. So, five years.
The most challenging thing about writing the book was deciding what personal details to share or not share, deciding what was mine or not mine to share, and knowing that these decisions would affect and alter the narrative, as well as the reader's perception of and attitude toward the people being portrayed. This was a great deal of responsibility that I didn't want to abuse. Kept me awake some nights.
I write on my porch and backyard mostly, sometimes in my office when the weather gets too ugly. I typically write at night, though sometimes I sneak moments during the day. I have a solid writing session about twice a week.
4. What are you reading right now?
I'm reading A Manual for Cleaning Women, a short story collection by Lucia Berlin. It's fantastic.
I'm not the most up to date or in tune when it comes to discovering new or underappreciated authors. Julie Otsuka wrote one of my favorite books, The Buddha in the Attic, which won the PEN/Faulkner Award, but I still think it should get more attention. Maybe it is. Maybe it will.
6. Would you recommend writers pursue an MFA?
Yes. Absolutely. I learned so much from the workshop process: submitting drafts, reading drafts, receiving feedback, and trying to articulate what invites and moves or what falls flat on the page and why. Not to mention the camaraderie and lifelong connections. The MFA experience was invaluable to me.
Both my agent and my editor have been incredibly encouraging and supportive. All of their continual reassurance and validation and faith in the importance of this story sticks with me.
8. What is one thing that surprised you during the writing of Speak, Okinawa?
I was surprised by how much I remembered, and how much my perspective of memories shifted as I was writing, rewriting, and revising. There were so many revelations I could only have reached through the process of putting memories on paper, seeing them reflected back at me, trying to view them objectively and find the precise words to describe them.
Besides my editor at Knopf who is so brilliant and generous and thoughtful with how she reads, I have a couple close friends from my MFA program that I trust the most for different reasons. One of them praises and uplifts, but in a very pointed and concerted way, while asking more open-ended questions that make me feel safe and allow me to explore. Another friend scrutinizes and resists, a bit harshly for my thin skin, but that's precisely what I need to toughen up and retort with something better.
There is a quote by Adrienne Rich that I always keep in mind: "You must write, and read, as if your life depended on it." It helps me to write about the deeply personal, the private, to trust the reader with my secrets, to take risks and pursue high stakes.


YouTuber Makes a Folding Bike and Now So Can You
The video shows steps by step instructions to making a folding bike that are surprisingly easy to follow.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention and such is the case for Laura Kampf, a YouTuber that found herself unable to travel on a train in Germany due to having her bike with her. Kampf did some further research and discovered that you can take a bike with you on a train if it is folded.
She then decided to make her own folding bike. How did this YouTuber make such a bike from a regular bike? With a lot of creativity and some heavy duty tools.
First, she used chain saws to cut the bike in two. Then, using parts of a bike chain, she connected two rectangular pieces of metals.
She used those two pieces to connect the two parts of the bike together in a way that they can actually fold. How ingenious! She even installed some locks to keep the bike perfectly in place when it is put on bike mode.
The end result is a folding bike that can be carried anywhere as a folded accessory. Watch the video to see this incredible transformation. Do you think you can make your own folded bike?

English Composition 1
Diagnostic Essay: Analysis of Sarah Orne Jewett's "A White Heron"
ENG 1001-03 (Mon/Wed/Fri 10:00-10:50 a.m.,
Friday, January 18 (by the end of the class period)
ENG 1001-10 (Mon/Wed/Fri 1:00-1:50 p.m., E-214)
Friday, January 18 (by the end of the class period)
The Diagnostic Essay Assignment
In an essay of at least 500 words, write an analysis and interpretation of Sarah Orne Jewett's short story "A White Heron" that will help readers understand and appreciate the story.
(Just click any of the links to "A White Heron" on this page to see the story.)
The specific approach to the story is up to you, but you should focus on analyzing and interpreting the story. That is, you should draw conclusions about the meaning of the story and then support those ideas with specific facts from the story.
You can assume that your audience has already read "A White Heron," so you should not just summarize it. Instead, try to focus on writing an analysis and interpretation of the story. Your essay should help readers understand and appreciate the meaning expressed by Jewett's story. Yes, we know what happens in the story, but what are we supposed to get out of it? What does the story seem to tell us about life?
Below are a few questions you could ask about the story to help you generate ideas to support and develop in your essay:
- How would you describe Sylvia? What characteristics about her stand out?
- How would you describe Sylvia's relationship with nature?
- How does Sylvia feel about the young man?
- What is the major conflict that Sylvia faces in the story?
- Is there any symbolism involved in Sylvia's climbing of the tree near the end of the story?
- Could the white heron be a symbol of Sylvia herself? How are the two similar?
- There are many references to darkness and light in the story. Is there some symbolism here?
Your essay should not just answer many questions, so it probably would not be a good idea to try to answer all of the questions above in your essay. Instead, decide on what you think is a major "theme" of the story, some idea about life that most of us can relate to, and then explain how the author uses the specifics of the story to develop this theme.
Please do not use any sources, such as interpretations of the story written by other scholars, as you write your essay. There is a good chance that your essay will include plagiarism if you use sources. We will use sources later in the course, but, for this essay, please rely only on your own ideas about the story. Do not type the title of the story into a search engine and read what other people say about the story!
Try for a length of at least 500 words.
The Diagnostic Essay: Purpose and Expectations
The diagnostic essay allows me to offer you feedback on your writing at the beginning of the course. Completing the diagnostic essay is a required part of the course (the essay counts toward the number of essays that students must write in the course), but the diagnostic essay will not receive a grade. However, I will collect and evaluate the diagnostic essay just as I will evaluate the other essays you will submit for the course, giving you suggestions that you can apply to your other essays. The diagnostic essay is a good way for you to receive feedback on your writing early in the semester without having to worry about a grade, and it also gives me an idea of how much you know about writing an essay at the beginning of the course. In fact, the essay is called "diagnostic" because it allows me to provide a "diagnosis" of your writing at the beginning of the course, a "diagnosis" being "a critical analysis of the nature of something."
You will have at least two weeks to work on each of your graded essays, plenty of time to plan, pre-write, write, revise, and proofread, major aspects of the writing process that are vital to writing a good essay. However, you do not have as much time to write your diagnostic essay. I don't expect any literary masterpieces, but I will be looking for the basics:
- an introduction and conclusion,
- a thesis statement,
- relevant topic sentences,
- body paragraphs focused on one main idea each,
- a logical progression of ideas,
- ideas developed and supported with specific details,
- a clear presentation of your ideas,
- a formal writing voice,
- sentences free or almost free from errors, and
- at least 500 words.
Don't worry if these expectations sound intimidating; just do the best that you can. You will read a lot of information about strengthening your writing throughout the semester, but if you feel you need to review the basics before you write the diagnostic essay, you could read the web page Evaluation and Grading Criteria for Essays.
- The diagnostic essay should be written in a formal writing
voice. Among other things, this means that you should avoid
first-person references (the use of "I," "me," "my," etc.), so you
should not use phrases such as "I think that," "I believe that," or
"in my opinion." The Web page
Writing Voice provides additional information about
maintaining a formal voice.
- You will need to use quotations from "A White Heron" to help you support and develop your ideas, and every quotation should be integrated into one of your own sentences. In other words, you should make every quotation a part of one of your own sentences and should not have any quotation standing by itself in your essay. In some cases, you could simply put the narrator says or Sylvia thinks (followed by a comma) before quotations to make the quotations a part of your own sentences.
Preparing Your Essay
Your essay should be word processed and double space, with 12-point Times New Roman fonts. Type your name, the instructor's name, your class, and the date in the upper left corner of the first page (as illustrated on The Proper Format for Essays web page), and give your essay a title (different from the title of Jewett's story).
Save your essay to disk or to your network drive.
When you are finished, please print your essay and turn it in.
Keep in mind that the Diagnostic Essay is supposed to demonstrate what you know about writing an essay at the beginning of the course, before you learn anything about writing in the course, but please just ask if you have any questions about the assignment.

05 Sep 2017 Training community enumerators for data collection in Bomet, Kembu location using the STDM
This week, the Land and GLTN Unit is training community enumerators for data collection in Bomet, Kembu location using the STDM. The trained persons are smallholder dairy farmers who will use the acquired knowledge and skills to geo-spatially enumerate and map key communal natural resources in their environs to establish how these communal resources interlink with tenure security rights. The communal resources to be mapped include; cattle corridors (both in private and public land), communal grazing land, salt licks, water points, cattle dips among others.
These activities will cover Dairy Commercialization Areas (DCA), 2 &3 of the Smallholder Dairy Commercialization Programme (SDCP). Sugurmerka (DCA 1) was geo-spatially enumerated last year in which 43 key communal natural resources were captured. These efforts are being undertaken to expand the STDM–based land and natural resources' information database of all the Dairy Commercialization Areas (DCA) 1, 2 and 3 in SDCP. The goal is to operationalize the database for sustainable common resources management. The database will also be useful in producing an inventory that will determine the number of resources against the animals and as such look into the carrying capacity of the land; how many animals can be efficiently and effectively supported within the resource envelope in Bomet County?
This work is a joint effort between UN Habitat, the Land and GLTN Unit and RECONCILE which falls under the 'Land and Natural Resources Tenure Security Learning Initiative for East and Southern Africa (TSLI-ESA)' project, a collaboration of the GLTN and IFAD to implement GLTN tools, build capacity of the actors engaged while improving knowledge management strategies and approaches towards a pro-poor and gender sensitive land and natural resources tenure rights.
RECONCILE is working with IFAD supported projects, programs and investments; the SDCP, Upper Tana Natural Resource Management Project (UTaNRMP) and the Mwea Irrigation Scheme (MIS).

100 mm (4") diameter approximately, full coloured mission patch for Expedition 59 ver 2. Crew change
The Expedition 59 patch celebrates the International Space Station's role as a microgravity science laboratory. The crew, made up of scientists, doctors, engineers and pilots, will conduct hundreds of experiments for the benefit of mankind and our fragile environment on planet Earth. The patch shape depicts the cupola windows. Through these windows, astronauts have made many significant observations of Earth's ecosystems and they have discovered and documented real-time events like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The position of the Earth at the top of the patch depicts where the Earth would be seen by an astronaut from the cupola. It represents the explorers' unique perspective on his or her home. The image at the center of the patch is the station itself, the largest single structure humans have ever put into space, an engineering marvel. The station is overlaid on an atom, the basic building block of all matter. The atom has three electron orbits with the flags of Russia, the United States of America and Canada, representing the home countries of the Expedition 59 crew. Like electrons in an atom, international cooperation is the basic stabilizing force that enables large scale space exploration. To achieve great deeds, humans from all across the globe must work together in peace with a shared vision. The Expedition 59 patch celebrates the massive scientific accomplishments of the space station while highlighting the importance of global teamwork in understanding our planet and continuing with bold exploration in the future.

SIMS Instrumentation: SIMS Primary Ion Sources
Typical SIMS instruments use either a duoplasmatron or a surface ionization primary ion source (or both).
The duoplasmatron can operate with virtually any gas, but oxygen is the most common because oxygen implantation into the sample surface enhances ionization efficiency for electropositive elements. Before this oxygen enhancement effect was discovered, argon was commonly used. The oxygen plasma within the duoplasmatron source contains both O- and O2+, and either can be extracted.
The cesium surface ionization source produces Cs+ ions as Cs atoms vaporize through a porous tungsten plug.

How To Catch: Ocean Whitefish Fishing Tips
The ocean whitefish isn't typically a sought after fish in the sportfishing community. Most of the times they are just a nice fish to help fill your catch bag.
ocean whitefish fishing tips
The ocean whitefish is a great fish to catch and cook!
I like how they taste, so we'll cover how to catch them in this guide.
The California whitefish is a species of tilefish that call the Pacific Ocean its home. It is also the name of several species of Atlantic freshwater fish.
The fish can be found along the coast of California but they have also been found north and south from their typical habitat. The conservation status of this fish is 'least concern' which means that it is not overfished as such.
Ocean Whitefish Facts
Scientific Name:Caulolatilus princeps
Common Name(s): Ocean whitefish, blanquillo, pez blanco, California whitefish
CharacteristicsSmall-mouth with brown back and sides. Fins are yellowish or tinged with blue and green and the belly is light.
Depth Range10 to 91 meters
LocationsIt can be found in eastern Pacific waters and also near the shore of British Columbia and banks off the California coast.
Catch & Size LimitsCheck your local regulations
How to Catch Whitefish
Don't let their small size fool you. Whitefish are notoriously aggressive and competitive eaters to boot so expect a number of bites when you are out fishing.
Since they have small mouths, small or medium-sized hooks work best. Since the mouths are quite tough, use the heavy gauge wire variety that you can remove easily rather than lighter ones which can snag easily.
Whitefish are attracted by a wide variety of baits. You can use plastic grubs or a simple squid bait which they love. This also includes pinhead anchovies or you can just cut up larger anchovies to make chunks. You can also use shrimp and pelagic red crabs as bait.
When it comes to rigs, use the dropper if you are a beginner. This gives the fish the extra foot of line to work with so you won't feel it biting too early and end up setting the hook too fast.
You aren't done when you manage to reel one or catch one either. Once it's on deck, the whitefish puts up a vicious fight which makes handling it safely difficult. The gill plate cover has a serrated edge as well so if you aren't careful, you cut your finger. The best way to hold them is through the eye sockets if you plan to keep the fish.
Whitefish Fishing Tactics
 1. The best rod to catch whitefish is a 7 to 10-foot long medium action spinning rod and reel combination. These are limber and sensitive enough to secure the fish as it puts up a strong fight.
 2. When catching whitefish, keep bait about 8 to 10 feet from the bottom. Whitefish hunt suspended from water columns that are located over rocky terrains.
California Whitefish Fishing Tips
 - Fish for whitefish in deep waters at night and near rocky reefs and kelp beds in the morning.
 - Use a rod holder if you are fishing in deep water for whitefish. It can be a long wait.
Catching Ocean White Fish Throughout the Year
Even though the whitefish can be caught year-round, some seasons are better than others. The best season for catching ocean whitefish is at the end of winter and into spring.
During this time the water turns cool as the weather turns colder. Since the fish is cold-blooded, they swim closer to the shore and inland to keep warm.
How to Clean Mexican Whitefish
 1. Make an incision on both sides of the whitefish starting from the gills located near the pectoral fins where you feel the backbone. You can also remove the head from there to make filleting easier.
 2. Cut through the dorsal side of the fish touching the backbone and create an incision at the tail end.
 3. Keeping parallel to the backbone, male long strokes down the length of the fish with the knife to cut a fillet from the fish till you reach the belly and cut it off. Repeat the procedure on the other side to get the other fillet.
 4. Cut at the tail end of the fish right above the anal and anus fins.
Ocean Whitefish Recipe
 - Preheat the oven to about 450°F and place a heavy baking sheet in there to preheat as well.
 - Cut out 2 large rectangles of foil and place a fillet in each.
 - Combine cloves, minced garlic, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon of white pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt to make a mixture.
 - Coat the fillets with the mixture evenly and place lemon slices on top.
 - Fold the edges of the foil to cover the fillets ad crimp at the edges.
 - Place the packets on the preheated baking sheet and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes or till the fish is cooked through.
 - Serve in packets
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does ocean whitefish taste like?
A: Ocean whitefish that live in kelp beds have a bitter taste while others have a mild taste. The meat is flaky and the heads, fin, and skin can be used to make fish stock.
Q: Where can whitefish be found?
A: With a few exceptions, this fish is unique to California but they may swim far upstream and land near British Columbia. Whitefish have also been spotted around the Galapagos Islands but the cold temperature and salt content of the Pacific Ocean is their favorite habitat.
Q: Is whitefish difficult to catch?
A: Ocean whitefish are known for tugging and pulling against the line so you need to put in a lot of effort to keep it from escaping. Even when you reel it in, prepare to run around a bit as it bounces and jiggles violently on deck.
Q: How long do whitefish live for?
A: The ocean whitefish matures at 3 to 5 years and it can live for 13 years.
Q: What do whitefish eat?
A: Their diet consists of small invertebrates and fish such as crab, shrimp, squid, anchovies and even lantern fish.

If when creating a new folder or copying file or folder on your Windows 11 or Windows 10 device or on an external drive attached to your system, and you get an error prompt with the message Error Copying File or Folder Catastrophic Failure, then this post is intended to help affected PC users with the most suitable solutions.
This issue is most likely to occur due to the following reasons;
- Missing or corrupt system files
- Write-protected disk
- No file or folder permission
- Low disk space
What does Catastrophic failure mean when copying files?
If the Catastrophic Failure has occurred when copying files/folders on your Windows 11/10 device, it's likely caused by missing system files or broken system registry structures. This is a critical sign of an unstable system that is typically caused by improper maintenance of the computer.
Error Copying File or Folder, Catastrophic failure
If you have run into the Error Copying File or Folder Catastrophic Failure issue on your Windows 11/10 PC, you can try our recommended solutions below in no particular order to resolve the issue on your device.
- Run File and Folder Troubleshooter
- Assign Full Control permission to the file/folder
- Clear Temp files
- Format destination drive to exFAT or NTFS
- Create a new User Account
Let's take a look at the description of the process involved concerning each of the listed solutions.
Before you try the solutions below, you can do the following, and after each task see if you can copy the file or folder without issues:
- Restart your PC.
- Make sure the disk is not write-protected.
- Check for updates and install any available bits on your Windows 11/10 device.
- If you started experiencing the issue after a recent Windows update, you can perform System Restore or uninstall the update.
- Run SFC scan.
- Optimize drive.
1] Run File and Folder Troubleshooter
Since the Error Copying File or Folder Catastrophic Failure issue is file/folder-related, you can begin troubleshooting to fix the error on your Windows 11/10 device by running File and Folder Troubleshooter – among other fixes, the automated wizard will help you fix issue when you try to copy, move, rename, or delete a file or folder.
2] Assign Full Control permission to the file/folder
If you have insufficient permission for the file/folder copy operation, you are likely to enounter the issue in hand. In this case, to resolve the issue you need to assign Full Control permission to the file or folder that's throwing the error.
3] Clear Temp files
Insufficient disk space due to copying large file or folder can give rise to this copy error. In this case, to resolve the issue, you can free up disk space by clearing temporary files that end up consuming lots of storage space. We recommend you use any third-party disk analyzer software for Windows 11/10 to get a granular view of what might be hogging storage space and the location on the drive; and then you can run Disk Cleanup to clear unnecessary files on the drive.
Once done, you can try the copy operation again and see if the issue you're currently facing is resolved. If not, try the next solution.
4] Format destination drive to exFAT or NTFS
The error in highlight can occur when you try to copy an item larger than 4GB to a partition with the FAT32 file system as you can easily copy up to 2TB to a FAT32 drive but the caveat is an individual file cannot exceed 4GB. If this is the case, you can either compress the file using any free File Compression & Extraction software and then try the copy operation again; or simply format destination drive to NTFS or format to exFAT file systems that can accommodate such large files.
5] Create a new User Account
This is another viable solution (more of a workaround) that worked for most affected PC users. This requires you to simply sign into another user account on your Windows 11/10 device, and then perform the copy operation within the account. You can create a new local user or administrator account if need be.
Hope this helps!
How do you fix Catastrophic failure?
To successfully fix catastrophic failure issues when installing Windows On-Premise Poller, do the following:
- Navigate to All Users from your Windows machine.
- In the All Users folder, right-click Shared Documents or Public Documents.
- Select Properties.
- In the General tab, uncheck the Read-only checkbox.
- Click Apply > OK.
Why is my laptop showing error copying file or folder?
If you encounter an unspecified error while copying file or folder from a PC to an Android phone, it is possible that the Android SD card is corrupted. In this situation, you can go to check whether the SD card can work as normal on the phone. If not, you will need to make a data recovery.

My honey, in buckets, is crystalizing sooner than in years past. I thought maybe it wasn't heated as much as in the past during the extracting process. Now I am wondering about the conditions underwhich the honey was produced by the bees. Droughty conditions.
Theory: Honey produced under drought conditions will crystalize sooner after extraction than honey produced under normal climate conditions.
I didn't check moisture content during or after extracting, not having a refractometer. So I don't know if the honey is low moisture content or not. Amongst other factors, I wonder if low moisture content honey naturally crystalizes sooner than higher moisture content honey. What role does moisture content play? And does drought factor into making low moisture honey?

A* Algorithm for Graphics Processors
Paper i proceeding, 2010
Today's computer games have thousands of agents moving at the same time in areas inhabited by a large number of obstacles. In such an environment it is important to be able to calculate multiple shortest paths concurrently in an efficient manner. The highly parallel nature of the graphics processor suits this scenario perfectly. We have implemented a graphics processor based version of the A* path finding algorithm together with three algorithmic improvements that allow it to work faster and on bigger maps. The first makes use of pre-calculated paths for commonly used paths. The second use multiple threads that work concurrently on the same path. The third improvement makes use of a scheme that hierarchically breaks down large search spaces. In the latter the algorithm first calculates the path on a high level abstraction of the map, lowering the amount of nodes that needs to be visited. This algorithmic technique makes it possible to calculate more paths concurrently on large map settings compared to what was possible using the standard A* algorithm. Experimental results comparing the efficiency of the algorithmic techniques on a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 with 24 multi-processors are also presented in the paper.

Two day Historical GIS Workshop
Computers are a necessary tool for all types of historians. They facilitate access to sources via digital archives, help manage large quantities of documents, and influence our interpretation. Despite these timeand cost-saving benefits, the growth of computing technologies also challenges the pedigree of the historian. Often the historian is required to gain intermediate or even expert knowledge in a particular type of software in order to carry out his or her analysis. Computer skills are also increasingly important in teaching and communicating with students. This is an area seldom taught during the historian's formal training.
We are currently seeking funding to hold a two day "crash course" in historical GIS. The workshop is tentatively schedualled for July 24th and 25th and it will take place in Toronto.
Marcel Fortin, GIS and Map Librarian at the University of Toronto, will offer hands-on training to a group of interested historians.

Mis-Manufactured Goods Celebrates Ineffectual Items
By: Amelia Roblin - Published: Jul 7, 2011 • References: jeremyhutchison and core77
Most factories have their production methods down to an art, but Mis-Manufactured Goods shows what happens when the assembly process goes awry. But instead of sifting through industrial dumpsters to find these unique objects, artist Jeremy Hutchison actually requested that these be fabricated with incapacitating errors.
There has, however, been left room for some creativity, as the man behind this 'Err' Exhibition instructed his commissioned factory workers from Spain, Poland, India and China to give their products whatever fault they saw fit. The result is a collection of incredibly useless objects that have a utterly unexpected charm. The Mis-Manufactured Goods artifact miscellany comprises a shovel with a misplaced handle, a comb with no teeth and a pipe with no hole.

Apple releases iOS update to patch Spectre chip flaw
The latest version of the iPhone operating system addresses a major flaw in the processor that could leak sensitive information.
Screenshot by CNET
Apple on Monday released an update to iOS, the software that runs iPhones and iPads, that fixes a major problem that haunted the processors in those devices.
The flaw, dubbed Spectre by the researchers who found it, made the silicon chips vulnerable to a hacking attack that could reveal secret information your devices normally keep locked down.
The update comes less than a week after news broke that chips made by Intel, ARM and AMD contained the flaw. Researchers also found that most Intel chips have a second variation of the vulnerability, called Meltdown. The revelation of the flaws has been followed by a flurry of announcements by chip-makers, computer manufacturers and cloud service providers reassuring customers that they are finding ways to prevent hackers from using them.
Both flaws let attackers take advantage of a design flaw that temporarily makes sensitive information like passwords and encryption keys more easy to steal. For the attack to work, hackers need to install malicious software onto your device before taking advantage of the flaws.
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said going forward, the company will make chips that don't have the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. For the hundreds of millions of devices in the world that contain the flawed chips, software updates like the one released by Apple will be the next best thing.

GALVESTON — The Texas Historical Commission has recognized Arthur John "Jack" Johnson as a significant part of Texas history by awarding him an Official Texas Historical Marker.
The designation honors Jack Johnson as an important and educational part of local history.
A dedication ceremony to commemorate the event will be at 10 a.m. Feb. 1 at Jack Johnson Park, 2601 Ave. M.
Speakers for the morning will include Ann Landeros and Alex Borger. The Galveston County Historical Commission welcomes the public to share in and witness this exciting historical event.
"The Official Texas Historical Marker program helps bring attention to community treasures and the importance of their preservation," said Mark Wolfe, executive director of the THC.
"Awareness and education are among the best ways to guarantee the preservation of our state's history. This designation is a tool that will increase public awareness of important cultural resources."
Johnson, born in 1878 in Galveston, was the first African-American world heavyweight boxing champion. He beat Tommy Burns of Canada in Sydney, Australia, in 1908 to win the world heavyweight title.
A subject qualifies for a marker if two basic criteria are met: historical significance and age. Historical significance is established by reviewing its role and importance in local history, and the age requirement depends on the topic.
The THC's Official Texas Marker Policies are outlined in the Official Texas Historical Marker Procedures, which may be obtained by contacting the History Programs Division, Texas Historical Commission, at _PHONE_ or visiting the website at _URL_.
"The citizens of Galveston are thrilled to honor our very own 'Galveston Giant.' This marker ceremony shall serve as a celebration of such a diverse cultural history that exists on Galveston Island," said Hank Thierry, chair of the Galveston Historical Foundation's African American Heritage Committee.
"To have both a city park and Texas Historic Marker in honor of Jack Johnson will allow generations of Texans to celebrate his life and Galveston's rich history."
There are three types of Texas Historical Markers. Subject markers are posted solely for public education awareness and awarded more frequently than the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, which is a legal designation for historic structures and comes with a measure of protection.
Unlike subject markers, the RTHL must also meet a third criterion — architectural integrity. Historic Texas Cemetery markers identify cemeteries, which have obtained the HTC designation and whose histories have been researched in detail.
Texas has the largest marker program in the United States with approximately 15,000 markers. Seventeen states have used the Texas program as a model; the THC reviews more than 300 marker applications each year.
The Texas Historical Commission is the state agency for historic preservation. The agency administers a variety of programs to preserve the archeological, historical and cultural resources of Texas.

25.4 and 5 mm, respectively, were successfully produced using a high pressure die casting (HPDC) method, The influence of die material, alloy temperature and flow rate on the microstructure, thermal stability and soft ferromagnetic properties has been studied. The results suggest that a steel die in which the molten metal flows at low rate and high temperature can be used to produce completely glassy samples. This can be attributed to the laminar filling of the mold and to a lower heat transfer coefficient, which avoids the skin effect in the steel mold. In addition, magnetic measurements reveal that the amorphous structure of the material is maintained throughout the key-shaped samples. Although it is difficult to control the flow and cooling rate of the molten metal in the corners of the key due to different cross sections, this can be overcome by proper tool geometry. The present results confirm that HPDC is a suitable method for the casting of Fe-based bulk glassy alloys even with complex geometries for a broad range of applications.

 13. Heavy metals contamination and their risk assessment around the abandoned base metals and Au-Ag mines in Korea

 Chon, Hyo-Taek
 2017-04-01
 Heavy metals contamination in the areas of abandoned Au-Ag and base metal mines in Korea was investigated in order to assess the level of metal pollution, and to draw general summaries about the fate of toxic heavy metals in different environments. Efforts have been made to compare the level of heavy metals, chemical forms, and plant uptake of heavy metals in each mine site. In the base-metals mine areas, significant levels of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were found in mine dump soils developed over mine waste materials and tailings. Leafy vegetables tend to accumulate heavy metals(in particular, Cd and Zn) higher than other crop plants, and high metal concentrations in rice crops may affect the local residents' health. In the Au-Ag mining areas, arsenic would be the most characteristic contaminant in the nearby environment. Arsenic and heavy metals were found to be mainly associated with sulfide gangue minerals, and the mobility of these metals would be enhanced by the effect of continuing weathering and oxidation. According to the sequential extraction of metals in soils, most heavy metals were identified as non-residual chemical forms, and those are very susceptible to the change of ambient conditions of a nearby environment. The concept of pollution index(PI) of soils gives important information on the extent and degree of multi-element contamination, and can be applied to the evaluation of mine soils before their agricultural use and remediation. The risk assessment process comprising exposure assessment, dose-response assessment, and risk characterization was discussed, and the results of non-cancer risk of As, Cd, and Zn, and those of cancer risk of As were suggested.

 Spherical shells of submillimeter size are sought as ICF targets. Such shells must be dimensionally precise, smooth, of high strength, and composed of a high atomic number material. We describe a technology for the production of shells based upon the hydrodynamic instability of an annular jet of molten metal. We have produced shells in the 0.7--2.0 mm size range using tin as a test material. Specimens exhibit good sphericity, fair concentricity, and excellent finish over most of the surface. Work involving a gold--lead--antimony alloy is in progress. Droplets of this are amorphous and possess superior surface finish. The flow of tin models that of the alloy well; experiments on both metals show that the technique holds considerable promise

 A micro-scale metal grid based on a silicon frame for application to electron field emission devices is introduced and experimentally demonstrated. A silicon lattice containing aperture holes with an area of 80 × 80 µm 2 and a thickness of 10 µm is precisely manufactured by dry etching the silicon on one side of a double-polished silicon wafer and by wet etching the opposite side. Because a silicon lattice is more rigid than a pure metal lattice, a thin layer of Au/Ti deposited on the silicon lattice for voltage application can be more resistant to the geometric stress caused by the applied electric field. The micro-fabrication process, the images of the fabricated grid with 88% geometric transparency and the surface profile measurement after thermal feasibility testing up to 700 °C are presented.

 Single-electron transistors would represent an approach to developing less power-consuming microelectronic devices if room temperature operation and industry-compatible fabrication were possible. We present a concept based on stripes of small, self-assembled, colloidal, metal nanoparticles on a back-gate device architecture, which leads to well-defined and well-controllable transistor characteristics. This Coulomb transistor has three main advantages. By using the scalable Langmuir-Blodgett method, we combine high-quality chemically synthesized metal nanoparticles with standard lithography techniques. The resulting transistors show on/off ratios above 90%, reliable and sinusoidal Coulomb oscillations, and room temperature operation. Furthermore, this concept allows for versatile tuning of the device properties such as Coulomb energy gap and threshold voltage, as well as period, position, and strength of the oscillations.

 Colored pigments with high near infrared reflectance and not based on toxic metal ions like cadmium, lead and cobalt are being sought as cool colorants. Through appropriate doping two pigments Ce-Pr-Mo and Ce-Pr-Fe have been developed to offer a reddish brown and reddish orange color, respectively. These pigments have been characterized and found to be highly crystalline


.PageName%>

NOTE: Not all properties are available through the CurrentPage.PropertyName syntax, which is more of a convenience for the base built-in defined properties. The more general CurrentPage["PropertyName"] syntax will retrieve any property – built-in or user defined.
For situations where you need to calculate or modify the output (whether based on page properties or not) before rendering it, an option is to make calls into methods defined in the code-behind file from your .aspx or .ascx file. Provided you implement a DisplayDate() method in your code-behind (returning a formatted date string based on some business logic), you can call the method from your .aspx file using something like the following:
<b>The date is:</b> <%=DisplayDate()%>

IntelliSense
In order to enable the IntelliSense feature of Visual Studio .NET for the EPiServer CMS-specific controls, you need to perform two steps:
 - Make the file EPiServer.xsd accessible to Visual Studio .NET.
 - Include the EPiServer XML namespace within an element of each page you want to use the feature in, for instance within a body element (tag), as shown below.
<span Xmlns:EPiServer="_URL_ />
The required file as well as further instructions is located in the EPiServer CMS SDK, available for download from _URL_.
From Concept to Completed Site
Start by creating the first version of the site's framework definition file (or the primary definition, if you anticipate portions of the site will require a separate design). If you have access to an HTML design, regardless of whether it is from a current static version of the site or from an HTML prototype (so-called "mock-up"), that will provide a very good basis for your framework definition work. For the rest of this discussion, assume you have a mock-up of the desired site.
Paste the HTML in its entirety into your newly created framework definition .ascx file and make sure you change the code-behind to inherit from EPiServer.WebControls.ContentFramework. Identify the portions of the markup where typical content is located and place region tags around each such block of text or images. Name each region, preferably as descriptively as possible based on the typical role or type of content intended for the region. Now you have a framework definition file that can provide the exact same output as your original mock-up, but with regions that can be altered by the page templates you will be creating next.
Creating the required page templates starts with identifying the different types of pages the site will support. The pages that require a separate "type" in this context are based primarily on output and layout. If a news post is rendered in the same basic way as a notice on the Web site's bulletin board, they could both use the same template. Not all differences in layout warrant a separate template – page types in EPiServer CMS can use properties and other means to provide page type specific information that the page template can interpret to render the page appropriately.
Start by creating the most regular page type, usually supporting pages that contain text and possibly images provided by the page authors. This template's .aspx file should contain any formatting and layout that will be common to all pages created of this type. Including it in the template page lets future authors focus on content, not layout. All this code should be enclosed in a block indicating what region of the framework to render it in (as shown in an earlier example).
By linking one or more page types in Admin mode to your new template (by specifying your .aspx as the template page for the page type), you are set to go. As you work your way through the Web site, you may want to split recurring parts of layout or logic into self-contained Web user controls, as described above. Doing so minimizes the amount of HTML in the page template files and lets you keep the definitions of common building blocks in a single place for easy maintenance.

WHY LITTLE GERMAN
CHILDREN ARE MUSICAL
BY CAROL SHERMAN.
A NOTED German musician was once asked why the children of the little villages of Germany are so musical. He replied, "Because they make fun of music." This is very true. The little folks of the fatherland have very simple amusements. Although Germany is the land of toys, the little folks are not laden down with extravagant presents. Some little boys can amuse themselves more with a little violin than some of our boys could with a $200.00 electric toy railroad.
I wish that all who read this article would try at the next practice hour to get just as much pleasure as possible out of their playing. Treat it just exactly as you would a game. Look at the little picture upon this page called the "Practice Hour." See the eager faces of the little folks and how earnestly they are striving to get enjoyable musical effects out of their crude musical instruments. You may learn a great lesson from the children of Germany, many of whom have grown from peasant homes like the one pictured to become great masters. Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Bach came from homes of this kind. Without one-tenth of the advantages that most of the readers of this page possess they achieved immortal fame.

The semantic organization and description of Web services is an important requirement for enabling their automatic selection and composition in service-oriented environments (SOEs). A plethora ofWeb services are expected to compete in offering similar functionalities in SOEs, or the new service Web in general . The continuously changing and large number of Web services, with service providers potentially located in different parts of the world calls for techniques to organizeWeb services in a manner that can be efficiently understood and outsourced.

A False Acacia tree
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Fabales
Family: Fabaceae
Subfamily: Faboideae
Tribe: Robinieae
Genus: Robinia
Species: pseudoacacia
The false acacia, Robinia pseudoacacia, also known as the black locust tree, is an 'Old Lion' of Kew Gardens, being one of the original trees planted in the original arboretum in 1762.
The species was first introduced into the country in the 1640s by John Tradescant the Younger, a great and famous plant hunter from a very respected and recognised family. A native of the southeastern United States, it is now found widely throughout Europe, Asia and Southern Africa. Its title of false acacia may come from the thorns found at the base of young leaves, reaching close to an inch (2cm) in length. Also the leaves have a tendency to droop at night, appearing to close, similar to the acacia.
Despite its name of black locust tree, this tree has nothing to do with insects. The word locust in this case means the seed pod of the tree, which is said to resemble the grasshopper of the same name. John the Baptist, the prophet and cousin to Jesus Christ, was said to have lived in the desert on locusts and wild honey. In that case the locusts were probably the seeds of the Carob tree - Ceratonia siliqua. According to Kew Gardens' literature, the black locust tree provided John the Baptist's main nutrition while in the wilderness, but this cannot be true, as the tree was at that time confined to North America. Nevertheless, its seeds are similar to those that the hermit prophet would have eaten.
Kew's specimen tree was planted, with others, around the Temple of the Sun in the original botanic garden by the mother of George III, Princess Augusta, in 1759. It is situated close to the Princess of Wales Conservatory and, as can be guessed from its Old Lion status, is in close proximity to the other Lions, close to the maidenhair tree. It is heavily bound in iron hoops around its very distinguished trunk. The bark has the appearance of many trunks being fused together, being so deeply furrowed and gnarled. It also leans at a slight angle, a little like a dowager bent by her age. It is well suited to dry conditions and needs little moisture. Its leaves are well adapted to ensure the tree's survival, even if many of the leaves have drooped or fallen from the tree. It is a member of the Fabaceae or Legume1 family, with a height of 70 feet (52m) and a trunk of 6 feet (1.6m).
The tree is not so popular now, but in the early 1900s it was commonly used in shipbuilding, as recorded by William Cobbett, author of 'The English Gardener'. The change to iron in the shipbuilding industry seriously reduced the forestry trade, hastening the demise of this plant, amongst many others.
However, it is still prized as firewood for wood-burning stoves, as it burns slowly with little in the way of smoke or flame, but a high heat content.
1A plant which has bacteria living in nodules on the roots. These are able to extract nitrogen from the air in the soil, that is normally inaccessible to plants, and convert it into useable compounds.

Spatial scale on IDS
Spatial profile degradation at the CCD edges
The 235mm camera with RED+2 CCD provides a spatial scale of 0.44 arcsec/pixel.
The maximum unvignetted slit-length usable with IDS is 3.3 arcmin, corresponding
to some 450 detector pixels for RED+2.
Note that the spatial profile degrades toward the upper
and bottom parts of the CCD, giving the impression that in these regions
the star image is out-of-focus (most evident in the vignetted regions where
a stellar profiles becomes double-peaked). This is a feature due to the IDS
optics, in particular the CCD corrector lens, that was not designed for large
format detectors like the RED+2 CCD.
Fringing and Cosmetic defects
RED+2 chip suffers from mild fringing.
Here there is an image of a flat field spectra
showing fringing in the redmost part (from around 9000 Å) and here there is an example showing the fringing modulation
along the whole RED+2 CCD with R300V grating covering up to 10000 Å. In this image, for comparison the fringing modulation of the EEV10 detector was included. The level of fringing for the RED+2 detector is less than 2% in all interval, with an average of about 1%.
There are a few cosmetic defects on the surface of the chip, but
nothing particularly severe.
Charge spreading variations
Effects on spectral resolutions
The diffusion of charges between pixels during integrations causes a degrading
of the spatial and spectral resolution. For a long-slit spectrograph like
IDS, with the INT mean seeing around 1".0-1".5, spatial degradation is not significant with the pixel size of the RED+2, but should be considered in the spectral direction. For a back illuminated CCD this
charge diffusion (often referred to as the Modulation Transfer Function;
MTF) becomes progressively worse for shorter wavelength incident light. For
example, using a slit-width projecting 2 pixels on the detector results
in a FWHM measured of 2.4 pixels (measured at ~4000 Å) when the spectrograph
is at best focus. Similarly, a slit-width projecting 4 detector pixels
will produce a FWHM of ~4.4 pixels (at ~4000 Å). This effect becomes
less severe towards redder wavelengths and is negligible at around 6000 Å.

Notes on Managing InterSystems IRIS via Routines
The Management Portal provides a convenient, browser-based interface for controlling the system. However, to cover those scenarios when the system cannot be managed from a browser, InterSystems IRIS provides interactive routines that perform the same tasks. When run in the Terminal, these routines act as command-line interfaces. Note that within legacy documentation, these routines are referred to as character-based routines. These routines are described elsewhere in detail; the purpose of this page is to provide additional information that applies to all these routines.
Caution:
There is nothing to prevent multiple instances of the same routine from being executed at the same time by different system administrators (or even the same administrator). If this happens, it is the responsibility of the administrators to coordinate their activity to avoid conflicts and achieve their objectives with regard to the coherence of the affected data.
Important:
Administrators who elect to use the routines described in the documentation are assumed to have a detailed operating knowledge of how InterSystems IRIS works and what parameter values are appropriate for the options they choose.
To use any of these routines from the Terminal, you must be in the %SYS namespace and must belong to at least the %Manager role. To start a routine, use the DO command. For example, to invoke the ^LEGACYNETWORK routine (a routine that supports configuration of legacy networking tools), use the following command:
 DO ^LEGACYNETWORK
Upon start, each of these routines first presents you with a list of options. Select an option by entering its number after the "Option?" prompt. In most cases, the choices on the initial menu choice lead to further menus, or to requests for information until the routine has sufficient information to accomplish its task.
Note the following additional points:
 - Each option has a numeric prefix. Select an option by typing its number. The option-number pattern is used throughout the routines.
 - All option lists have an item to exit this level of menu and return to the previous level. You may also reply to the "Option?" prompt with Enter. This is interpreted as if you had chosen the "Exit" option, that is, you are finished with that section and you are presented with the next "upper" level of options. An Enter reply to the top-level of options exits the routine.
 - Many of the prompts for information have a default value which is selected by typing the Enter key. When there is a default value available, it is shown after the prompt message and followed by the characters "=>" as in
 Unsuccessful login attempts before locking user? 5 =>

 where the default value is 5 for the number of times a user may try to login and fail before the system locks their username.
 - Prompts whose defaults are "Yes" or "No" also accept any matching partial response such as "yE" or "n". The match is done ignoring the case of the response.
 - In options whose intent is to alter the characteristics of existing user, roles, services, and so on, the existing value of the item is displayed as the default. Typing Enter preserves that value and moves on to the next prompt.
 - Some prompts ask for a pattern to use when matching items such as usernames. The default pattern is usually "*" that matches all items. In such patterns the asterisk matches any sequence of characters, much like it does in DOS. A pattern may also consist of a comma-separated list of items each of which is treated as its own pattern. An item is treated as being selected if it matches any pattern in the list.

A wide variety of novel non-hygroscopic N-oxide tetraphenylborate salts were synthesized and evaluated as co-oxidants in the Ley–Griffith (TPAP) oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols under non-anhydrous conditions. The novel DABCOO·TPB (2:1) salt was herein unearthed as a viable competitor to the first-generation NMO·TPB (2:1) salt, but more importantly gave increased performance under oxidative competition. X-ray crystal structure analysis and NMR spectroscopy revealed that depending on the crystallization conditions 1:1, 2:1 or 3:2 N-oxide–tetraphenylborate salts could be formed.

How does heat loss occur?
Heat loss occurs from a greenhouse structure whenever the interior temperature exceeds the exterior temperature. The rate at which it occurs is affected primarily by the efficiency of the covering materials (glazings) installed on each surface (roof, side walls, and end walls). The most commonly used covering materials all have published heat transfer factors called "U" factors that provide a means of calculating their impact on heat loss in different scenarios.
What is the "U" factor?
"U" factors are the inverse of the commonly used "R" factors, where "U" = 1 / "R". The lower the "U" factor, the less ability your glazing material has to transfer heat, therefore, the lower the heat loss.

This page contains topics supporting ongoing discussion at _EMAIL_.
Tracked as SYNCOPE-1067.
Also see [DISCUSS] Realms.
The current implementation of delegated administration relies on Roles, where each Role associates a set of Entitlements (e.g. administrative actions) to a set of Realms (e.g. containers for Users / Groups / Any Objects).
This requires, however, that the set of Users / Groups / Any Objects to administer is somehow statically defined by containment: "administrators with role R can manage users under realms /a and /b" works as long as users to administer are fully contained by the Realms /a and /b; but what if the set of Users that R can administer needs to be dynamically defined, say by the value of a 'department' attribute?
Introduce new entity: Dynamic Realms and extend Roles to map a set of Entitlements to a set of Realms and / or Dynamic Realms.
A Dynamic Realm is defined by its unique name and FIQL conditions (similarly to Groups). Given that, it can work as dynamic container for Users, Groups and Any Objects.
Upon delegated administrator's authentication, the owned roles will be evaluated (as in the current implementation) and the set of effective Realms and Dynamic Realms for which entitlements are granted will be built.
- CREATE entitlement(s) cannot be granted via Dynamic Realms: as Dynamic Realms are not physical containers as Realms, allowing to create in a Dynamic Realm would mean granting CREATE in the root Realm
- UPDATE entitlement(s) can be granted via Dynamic Realms, with condition that any modification to matching Users / Groups / Any Objects does not alter the set of Dynamic Realms such entity is part of
- DELETE entitlement(s) cannot be granted via Dynamic Realms: as the same User / Group / Any Object can be shared by several Virtual Realms at once, deleting from a Virtual Realm might cause unwanted side effects in other Dynamic Realms
In other word: the only changes on a given entity, accepted by a delegated administrator through Dynamic Realms, are the ones that do not change any Dynamic Realm's matching condition for such entity.

Frenchman Bay Scenic Turnout
Route 1, Sullivan
Thinking about fisheries in Frenchman Bay back in the 1800s conjures up images of various fishing vessels large and small, from twoand three-masted schooners with holds packed with Grand Bank fish, to dories and peapods where a couple of men worked hand-lines on favorite shoals nearby. But the fishing industry has always relied on shoreside infrastructure to store gear and salt, repair boats and nets, and sell or barter the catch. At Sullivan Harbor, fishermen once landed their catch amid granite cutters, shipbuilders and tourists. To the east, a historic stone house was built to store the salt needed to cure fish harvested on the distant Grand Banks of Newfoundland. At the customs house near the mill pond, fishing licenses were issued and cargoes were weighed. Today, lobsters and other shellfish are the primary species harvested in Frenchman Bay.

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of supercritical CO2 turbulent channel flow is performed to investigate the heat transfer mechanism of supercritical fluid. In the present DNS, full compressible Navier-Stokes equations and Peng-Robison state equation are solved. Due to effects of the mean density variation in the wall normal direction, mean velocity in the cooling region becomes high compared with that in the heating region. The mean width between high- and low-speed streaks near the wall decreases in the cooling region, which means that turbulence in the cooling region is enhanced and lots of fine scale eddies are created due to the local high Reynolds number effects. From the turbulent kinetic energy budget, it is found that compressibility effects related with pressure fluctuation and dilatation of velocity fluctuation can be ignored even for supercritical condition. However, the effect of density fluctuation on turbulent kinetic energy cannot be ignored. In the cooling region, low kinematic viscosity and high thermal conductivity in the low speed streaks modify fine scale structure and turbulent transport of temperature, which results in high Nusselt number in the cooling condition of the supercritical CO2.

Mount Sartova A Rosh Chodesh Signal
This Shabbat there will be a special Torah reading called Parshat Hachodesh which recalls the first mitzvah given to the Jewish People – the sanctification of the new month.
Once the Sanhedrin in Yerushalayim determined, on the basis of testimony by witnesses who had sighted the new moon, that a particular day was to be Rosh Chodesh, it was necessary to communicate this information to the Jews living in Babylon. This was achieved by waving large flaming torches on high places whose fire could be seen from one place to another until the message finally reached Babylon.
Mount Sartova, about 830 meters above sea level, was the second station after Mount of Olives where the first torch was waved. It was followed by another three stations, the last of which was Beit Baltin, from which the torch waver could see a part of Babylon lit up with fires, indicating that the message of the new moon had been received.


Natural selection in populations subject to a migration load
Migration tends to oppose the effects of divergent natural selection among populations. Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have demonstrated that this migrationselection balance constrains genetic divergence among populations. In contrast, relatively few studies have examined immigration's effects on fitness and natural selection within recipient populations. By constraining local adaptation, migration can lead to reduced fitness, known as a migration load, which in turn causes persistent natural selection. We develop a simple two‐island model of migrationselection balance that, although very general, also reflects the natural history of Timema cristinae walking‐stick insects that inhabit two host plant species that favor different cryptic color patterns. We derive theoretical predictions about how migration rates affect the level of maladaptation within populations (measured as the frequency of less‐cryptic color‐pattern morphs), which in turn determines the selection differential (the within‐generation morph frequency change). Using data on color morph frequencies from 25 natural populations, we confirm previous results showing that maladaptation is higher in populations receiving more immigrants. We then present novel evidence that this increased maladaptation leads to larger selection differentials, consistent with our model. Our results provide comparative evidence that immigration elevates the variance in fitness, which in turn leads to larger selection differentials, consistent with Fisher's Theorem of Natural Selection. However, we also find evidence that recurrent adult migration between parapatric populations may tend to obscure the effects of selection.

This is the resident female population projected to be aged 0 to 4 in the reference year based on the 2018 mid year population estimates.
Population projections are an indication of the future trends in population over the next 25 years. They are trend-based projections, which means assumptions for future levels of births, deaths and migration are based on observed levels mainly over the previous 5 years. They show what the population will be if recent trends continue. They are not forecasts and do not attempt to predict the impact that future government or local policies, changing economic circumstances or other factors might have on demographic behaviour.
The projected resident population of an area includes all people who usually live there, whatever their nationality. People moving into or out of the country are only included in the resident population if their total stay in that area is for 12 months or more, thus visitors and short-term migrants are not included. Armed forces stationed abroad are not included, but armed forces stationed within an area are included. Students are taken to be resident at their term-time address.
Projections become increasingly uncertain the further they are carried forward due to the inherent uncertainty of demographic behaviour. This is particularly so for smaller geographical areas and detailed age and sex breakdowns.

Rotating Images in WordPress: A Comprehensive Guide
Rotating an image in WordPress may seem like a straightforward task, but it is not always obvious. There are various methods to adjust the orientation of an image in WordPress, whether you want to improve the aesthetics or position of the image within a post or page. In this article, we'll explore several ways to rotate images in WordPress, including built-in tools, plugins, and external software. Additionally, we'll cover common mistakes and troubleshooting tips.
Important Note
Before diving into the methods, it is essential to understand that rotating an image in WordPress only changes how it appears within the post or page but not the actual file itself. Therefore, if you want to make permanent changes to the image file, consider using photo editing programs like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop.
Method 1: Using WordPress Image Editor
The simplest way to rotate an image is to use the built-in image editor in WordPress. Follow the steps below:
 1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the post or page where you want to rotate the image.
 2. Select the image you want to edit and click on it. This action opens up the image properties menu.
 3. In the image properties menu, click on the "Edit" button, indicated by a pencil.
 4. Choose to rotate the image either left or right using the rotation buttons. Alternatively, flip it upside down using the rotate 180 button.
 5. Once done, click "Save" to update the post or page.

Method 2: Simple Image Sizes Plugin
If you have multiple images to rotate, editing each one can be tedious. Fortunately, the Simple Image Sizes plugin simplifies the process. The steps are:
 1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New and search for "Simple Image Sizes." Install then activate the plugin.
 2. Next, go to Settings > Media > Image Sizes.
 3. Select the images you want to edit by checking the boxes next to their file names. Also, choose all the images by selecting the box next to the "Thumbnail, Medium, and Large sizes" label.
 4. Scroll down to the "Flip and rotate" section, then use the dropdown menu to select the rotation angle you want to apply. It is also possible to flip the image horizontally or vertically.
 5. Finally, click on "Save Changes" to apply the changes to the selected images.
Method 3: Using External Software
For more precise control, external photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop can be useful. Follow the steps below:
 1. Select File > Open and pick the desired image to rotate in Adobe Photoshop.
 2. Select the Rotate tool from the toolbar on the left side of the screen.
 3. Adjust the angle of the image using the Rotate tool. Use the degrees input box to specify the exact amount you want to rotate.
 4. Save the edited image as a compatible file format like JPEG or PNG.
Method 4: Using CSS Code
Using CSS code, you can rotate the image without causing any visual disturbance. Follow these steps:
 1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to the post or page where the image is located.
 2. Select the image to edit and click on it to reveal the image properties menu.
 3. Click on the "Advanced options" tab and enter a class name for the image in the "CSS Class" field, like "rotated."
 4. Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and paste in the following code: .rotated {transform: rotate(90deg);}
 5. Adjust the degree input to rotate the image angle, e.g., rotate(180deg) flips the image upside down.
 6. Save the changes and preview the post or page.

Common Mistakes and Troubleshooting Tips
In case you encounter issues while rotating your images, consider these common mistakes and tips:
 - Ensure that you are using the correct image size for best results. A large photo resized to a smaller size but not compressed well will result in distorted or blurred images.
 - Check your plugin settings to ensure that you've set them up correctly.
 - If changes fail to reflect on your post or page, clear your cache, and refresh the page.
 - If all options fail, try disabling other plugins or switching to a different theme to fix the problem.
Conclusion
Rotating images is a critical aspect of enhancing the aesthetics and readability of your posts or pages. Whether using WordPress's built-in tools, plugins, external software, or CSS code, the process is straightforward. Correctly rotating your images helps to create an engaging user experience for your audience.

Blaschka Eyes
Listen as curator David Whitehouse describes these glass eyeballs made by the Blaschkas. When the curators of natural history museums displayed the mounted skins of elephants, lions, tigers and gorillas, they substituted the animals' real eyes with glass eyes made by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, such as the ones on display in the case here. The Blaschkas also supplied larger eyes than these on display for some of the world's largest mammal specimens. In addition, they made glass prosthetic eyes for living humans.

In film boiling, a layer of vapor completely blankets the heated surface and prevents liquid contact with the surface. Film boiling is usually considered undesirable because it is an inefficient mode of heat transfer and can lead to temperatures in excess of those allowed for many materials. Because film boiling may inhibit desired heat transfer in several processes including metals manufacturing, cryogenic engineering, and electronic cooling, it is useful to consider how the film boiling vapor layer may be destabilized or altered such that time-averaged heat transfer is improved.

The people at PETA pronounce the name of their organisation in a different way to what one might expect, in my opinion. I have been mispronouncing it for years! Well there it is and now I know. How did I find out? PETA now have a regular podcast and the introduction includes pronouncing the acronym: PETA. Update: about 18 months later I realised why they prefer this pronunciation. It is because they want to avoid the word 'pet' in their acronym. They don't like the use of the word 'pet' to describe companion animals because it encourages the wrong relationship between human and animal.
Please play this short audio file for the correct way to say PETA.
