what are the definition of planet biyo?
- Basement BobLv 61 decade agoFavorite Answer
The minor planet Biyo, which has a diameter of four to nine kilometers and was formerly called planet 13241, was named after Dr. Josette Biyo, a teacher at the Philippine Science High School in Iloilo City who won the International Excellence in Teaching Award during the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) held in Louisville, Kentucky in 2002. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory in the United States game the name.

Why is everybody asking about "planet biyo"? It's a minor planet or asteroid, named for Dr. Josette Talamera-Biyo.
- nunmakerLv 44 years ago
and that i "hasn't" the faintest concept of what "biyo" is..! contemplate whether you try to spell "bio" as in "biosphere." if so, then that has each little thing to do with the whole atmosphere of a planet, alongside with existence varieties.

Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum
Arts for Transit Collaborative
New York City Architectural Artifacts from the Collection of the Brooklyn Museum, 2004
Terra cotta artifacts and glass mosaic on mezzanine and stairway walls
The Brooklyn Museum has long served as a repository for ornamental architectural forms salvaged from significant buildings that were being demolished. Seventy-eight of these artifacts are installed in the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station, enriching the environment and creating an introduction to the museum above. Among these are plaques, lunettes, keystones, and other decorative elements that represent the city's architectural heritage. The project is a successful example of institutional collaboration. The Brooklyn Museum, working with MTA Arts for Transit and Vel Riberto Consulting, selected the artifacts and donated them to the project. New mosaic designs were added, to frame the objects and to make connections with the architecture of the station.

Economic Activism Background
Who profits from the Israeli occupation? What economic interests further entrench the colonization and exploitation of Palestinian land and resources? How can we influence corporate policies in Palestine – and through this work weaken and isolate the occupation?
This year, Global Exchange is launching a new project promoting economic activism for justice in Palestine. The Economic Activism project seeks to support campaigns for divestment and corporate accountability nationally by providing education, training, networking, strategic tools, and research support. This initiative responds to the Palestinian civil society call for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) until Israel complies with international law and universal principles of human rights.
Project leader, Dalit Baum, PhD, is a founder of Who Profits, an activist research initiative of the Coalition of Women for Peace in Israel. During the last four years, Who Profits has become a vital resource for dozens of campaigns around the world providing information about corporate complicity in the occupation of Palestine. This includes corporate involvement in the construction of Israeli colonies and infrastructure in the occupied territories, in the settlements' economy, in building walls and checkpoints, and in the supply of specific equipment used in the control and repression of the civilian population under occupation.

Spectranomics: Chemical and spectral fingerprinting of tropical canopies
Tropical forests are vast, mostly unexplored places. The trees, vines and other plants that occupy tropical forest canopies are often remote and inaccessible. As a result, it is not easy to assess how the diversity and functioning of tropical forests may be changing with human use and climate change.
The Carnegie Institution is developing new scientific approaches that integrate phylogenetic, chemical and spectral remote sensing perspectives - collectively called Spectranomics - to map canopy function and biological diversity throughout tropical forests of the world. This website provides information on field and laboratory activities, along with data, protocols, publications, and other information on the project.
The Spectranomics Project is made possible by the generous support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

Is 'laughing gas' a security concern?
September 26, 2014 − by SFS Ltd − in News − Comments Off on Is 'laughing gas' a security concern?
proof-of-age-cardNitrous oxide, also known as 'laughing gas' is a legal drug that becomes popular amongst young people, due to its effects similar to those of hard drugs such as heroin and crack cocaine. Inhaled from party balloons, 'laughing gas' creates hallucinations and a sense of short time euphoria.
According to medical professionals, inhaling 'laughing gas' can have the effect of fainting, regular use of this party drug could be even fatal.
Home Office statistics showed that 'laughing gas' is, after cannabis, the second most popular drug among people aged 16 to 24.
But despite of health warnings and even Home Office recommendations that festivals should crack down on 'laughing gas', the drug remains legal to inhale.
In a BBC investigation, security was criticised that they stood by and did nothing, allowing consumption of laughing gas at one of the UK's top dance festivals.
So, is 'laughing gas' a security concern?
Obviously, even though this is a legal drug, the risk of having customers passing out due to nitrous oxide is a security concern. This can be controlled by conducting searches, not allowing entry to or ejecting those who are expected to inhale the gas.
A "zero tolerance" attitude to drugs is always a good practice, regardless of whether the substance was illegal or not.

text: Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is a rapidly expanding optical technique with excellent surface sensitivity and limited background fluorescence. Commercially available TIRF systems are either objective based that employ expensive special high numerical aperture (NA) objectives or prism based that restrict integrating other modalities of investigation for structure-function analysis. Both techniques result in uneven illumination of the field of view and require training and experience in optics. Here we describe a novel, inexpensive, LED powered, waveguide based TIRF system that could be used as an add-on module to any standard fluorescence microscope even with low NA objectives. This system requires no alignment, illuminates the entire field evenly, and allows switching between epifluorescence/TIRF/bright field modes without adjustments or objective replacements. The simple design allows integration with other imaging systems, including atomic force microscopy (AFM), for probing complex biological systems at their native nanoscale regimes.

StateMachineWorkflowActivity Class
Serves as the root container for state machine workflows. Contains event-driven activities and states.
Namespace: System.Workflow.Activities
Assembly: System.Workflow.Activities (in System.Workflow.Activities.dll)
public class StateMachineWorkflowActivity extends StateActivity
The StateMachineWorkflowActivity is an activity container used to create workflows that follow a state machine model.
The StateMachineWorkflowActivity is a CompositeActivity, which means the StateMachineWorkflowActivity can contain other activities. The StateMachineWorkflowActivity and the EventDrivenActivity activities are the only permitted child activities of the StateMachineWorkflowActivity. EventDrivenActivity activities are permitted because the root activity itself behaves like a state. Therefore, you can have EventDrivenActivity activities at the root level that are used by all the State activities in the StateMachineWorkflowActivity. EventDrivenActivity activities at this level provide a global mechanism for processing workflow events and automate state transitions. StateActivity activities provide a mechanism to define the various stages in the model.
The StateMachineWorkflowActivity has properties that are required for the execution of the state machine workflow. Most notably, the StateMachineWorkflowActivity has two properties that are important: InitialStateNameProperty and CompletedStateNameProperty.
The InitialStateNameProperty of the state machine is the state in which the state machine is when an instance of the state machine is created. The InitialStateNameProperty property is mandatory and must be provided when a StateMachineWorkflowActivity is created. The InitialStateNameProperty of the state machine is like any other state activity that is contained within the state machine. The state activity can be a direct child of the StateMachineWorkflowActivity root activity and a StateMachineWorkflowActivity can have only one InitialStateNameProperty.
The CompletedStateNameProperty of the StateMachineWorkflowActivity is a StateActivity activity that is designated as the end state of the StateMachineWorkflowActivity. When a transition is made to the CompletedStateNameProperty, the workflow execution is completed. The CompletedStateNameProperty is not mandatory. This means that you can have a StateMachineWorkflowActivity that is not completed. This does not mean that the state machine workflow is always active in memory. The StateMachineWorkflowActivity might be unloaded as it waits for an event.
StateMachineWorkflowActivity activities that never complete are especially useful in processing long running business transactions, as in the case of a purchase order received by a supplier. The fact that the purchase order was fulfilled does not mean that the purchase order process is over. The goods that are part of the purchase order might be returned or the purchase order might be amended and have additional items added to it after the fulfillment. Sometimes there might be a requirement to keep the purchase order records for an extended period of time for legal or other purposes. The fact that a workflow does not finish just means that the workflow remains in an unloaded state. There may be a case for retiring the workflows, which means that after a set period of time the workflow instance may be forced to shut down.
The following code example shows how to create a new instance of the StateMachineWorkflowActivity class and use it to implement a basic state machine to transition between three states. This code example is part of the SimpleStateMachineWorkflow SDK sample from the StateMachineWorkflow.cs file. For more information, see Simple State Machine.

Question: English & Literature
How is irony a key element in Hamlet?
In English & Literature | Asked by bookragstutor
Asked from the Hamlet study pack
The definition of irony is where you expect one thing to happen and the opposite occurs. This is a complete synopsis of the play, Hamlet. The irony is so thick throughout the entire play that without it the play would not exist. At the end where all of the intended deadly artifacts come into bearing, no one that they were intended for is killed by them.

TProblem
Problem:
Flow on a road is q_1=1800 veh/hr/lane , and the density of k_1=14.4 veh/km/lane . To reduce speeding on a section of highway, a police cruiser decides to implement a rolling roadblock, and to travel in the left lane at the speed limit (v_2=88 km/hr) for 10 km. No one dares pass. After the police cruiser joins, the platoon density increases to 20 veh/km/lane and flow drops. How many vehicles (per lane) will be in the platoon when the police car leaves the highway?
How long will it take for the queue to dissipate?
Example
Solution:
Step 0
Solve for Unknowns:
Original speed
v_1=\frac{q_1}{k_1}=\frac{1800}{14.4} = 125 km/h
\,\!
Flow after police cruiser joins
q_2= k_2 v_2 = 88*20 = 1760 veh/h
\,\!
Step 1
Calculate the wave velocity:
v_w = \frac{{q_2 - q_1 }}{{k_2 - k_1 }} = \frac{{1760 - 1800}}{{20 - 14.4}} = - 7.14km/hr
\,\!
Step 2
Determine the growth rate of the platoon (relative speed)
v_{r2} = v_2 - v_w = 88 - ( - 7.14) = 95.1km/hr
\,\!
Step 3
Determine the time spent by the police cruiser on the highway
t = d/v = 10 km / 88 km/hr = 0.11 hr = 6.8 minutes
\,\!
Step 4
Calculate the Length of platoon (not a standing queue)
L = v t = 95.1 km/hr * 0.11 hr = 10.46 km
\,\!
Step 5
What is the rate at which the queue grows, in units of vehicles per hour?
\Delta{q} = q_1 - k_1 v_w = q_2 - k_2 v_w = 1800 - (14.4*-7.14) = 1760- (20*-7.14) = 1902 veh/hr
\,\!
Step 6
The number of vehicles in platoon
L_p k_2 = 10.46 km * 20 veh/km = 209.2 vehicles
\,\!
OR
\Delta{q} t = 1902 veh/hr*0.11hr=209.2veh
\,\!
How long will it take for the queue to dissipate?
(a) Where does the shockwave go after the police cruiser leaves? Just reverse everything?
{{v}_{w}}=\frac{{{q}_{2}}-{{q}_{1}}}{{{k}_{2}}-{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{_PHONE_}{14.4-20}=-7.14km/hr
Second wave never catches first.
(b) Return speed to 125, keep density @ 20? q_2 = 20*125=2500
\,\!
{{v}_{w}}=\frac{{{q}_{2}}-{{q}_{1}}}{{{k}_{2}}-{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{2500-1760}{20-20}=\infty km/hr
Second wave instantaneously catches first
(c) Return speed to 125, keep density @ halfway between 14.4 and 20? q_2 = 20*125=2500
\,\!
{{v}_{w}}=\frac{{{q}_{2}}-{{q}_{1}}}{{{k}_{2}}-{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{2150-1760}{17.2-20}=139km/hr
Second wave quickly catches first
\begin{align}
 & 139*t=7.14*\left( .11+t \right) \\
 & \left( 139-7.14 \right)t=7.14*11 \\
 & t=0.006h=.35\min =21\sec \\
\end{align}
(d) Drop upstream q,k to slow down formation curve.
{{v}_{w}}=\frac{{{q}_{2}}-{{q}_{1}}}{{{k}_{2}}-{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{_PHONE_}{14.24-20}=-3.47km/hr
Second wave eventually catches first
(e) If q_{upstream} falls below downstream capacity, wave dissipates
{{v}_{w}}=\frac{{{q}_{2}}-{{q}_{1}}}{{{k}_{2}}-{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{_PHONE_}{10-20}=+51km/hr
Forward moving wave.

Swimmers are once again banned from Copeton Dam after Water NSW issued a red alert for blue-green algae in the recreational lake.
Water NSW advised people not to enter the water, drink untreated water, or bathe in water drawn from the dam in a warning issued this week.
The red alert came after monitoring by Water NSW experts indicated that concentrations of blue-green algae have increased to dangerous levels in the dam again.
There is also an active amber alert for blue-green algae in the Macintyre River at Lake Inverell.
Town water supply for the community of Inverell is unaffected by the algal bloom.
The species of algae, called cyanobacteria, is potentially toxic and can cause gastroenteritis in humans after consumed, and can cause skin and eye irritations after contact.
Water NSW advises water users to visually monitor downstream water supplies for algae scums. Algae usually appear as green paint-like scums on the water, near the edges, or as greenish clumps throughout the water. It makes the water appear dirty, green or discoloured and generally has a strong musty or earthy odour.
Water NSW also advised people not to eat fish mussels or crayfish from warning areas. Contact with the water is also a threat to livestock and pets. Boiling the water won't make it safe.
A red alert is the highest level of warning Water NSW can issue.
It is not possible to predict how long the algae will remain at high levels. Regular monitoring will continue, and the alert will be lifted as soon as the high levels of algae dissipate.
People who believe they may have been affected by blue-green algae are advised to seek medical advice.
Copeton is currently 41.6 per cent full, according to Water NSW.

Water Measurement App Created by Reclamation's Provo Area Office
Beginning 1953, Reclamation in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture, printed the first edition of the Water Measurement Manual to provide for more precise water measurement techniques to enhance the accuracy of water delivery, accounting, and irrigation practices; support improved operational efficiencies; and facilitate water conservation. This manual has been revised and reprinted through 2001. In 2007 the Utah Association of Conservation Districts in cooperation with Reclamation produced a pocket reference version of the Water Measurement Manual to support water managers in their day-to-day water delivery duties.
The importance of accurate and reliable water measurement data is essential to the management practices and operational decisions made by public and private water resource agencies and organizations alike. Some of the key benefits include:
- More equitable allocation and distribution of water shares both on and off farm
- Improved irrigation practices and reduced negative environmental impacts
- More efficient metering and seepage loss evaluation data
- Support for automation technologies
- Improved data for decisions regarding canal and ditch improvements and prevention of excess runoff
- Ability to reduce excessive use and enhance conservation
The continuous revisions and additions to the manual reflect the refinements and improvements in water measurement practices made possible through implementation of evolving technology. The design of delivery system upgrades incorporated new technologies resulting in significant efficiency improvements. Not surprisingly, the value of new technology led to water managers expressing an interest in development of a water measurement app for mobile devices that could replace the need do manual calculations based on the pocket reference version of the Water Measurement Manual.
In March 2012, Reclamation's Provo Area Office Resource Management Division Manager Edward Vidmar began investigating what it would take to develop such an app. His objective was to design something that would perform a range of water measurement functions including all the necessary calculations to convert staff gage readings to a flow reading based on formulas or mathematical calculations. He also wanted to include another type of water measurement functionality for dam tenders to make the necessary calculations to replace the need to take water measurement readings using a bucket and a stopwatch. By performing all the mathematical calculations, the new app will reduce the potential for human error and significantly improve the final reading data.
Vidmar began laying out the initial conceptualization for the new app by constructing a slideshow using PowerPoint to depict what each screen in the app should look like. In November 2012, he located a business to handle writing the code for the app for its initial availability for use on iPhone and iPad. The free "Measure H2O" app became available for download in the Apple Store on February 4, 2013.
The app is still undergoing some minor tweaks to improve functionality and a 1.1 version will be soon available as will an Android device version of the app.

It is probably too complicated to be sure, with subtle shifts in air flow easily affecting the total drag.
However, since things (usually) tend towards their lowest energy, and the wheels tend to spin when the car is moving, I would guess that is the lowest energy state, and hence the lowest total drag, compared to clamping the brakes on the bike wheel and stopping it from spinning.
But that statement, lowest energy state, and hence the lowest total drag, is BS. Things have no tendency towards a state of lowest energy dissipation!
Drag on the car * speed = power from the car.
power from the car = power from the spinning wheel + everything else
Increased drag on the car = power the spinning wheel generates / speed
If the wheel does not spin, it does no work.
If the wheel spins freely, it does -very little work-, because it has very little friction. So the spinning wheel adds very little more drag than the fixed one.

Passive Optical Network FAQ's London
Passive Optical Network FAQ's
Passive Optical Network FAQ's Birmingham

What is Passive Optical Network?
Passive Optical Network (PON) is a type of fibre-optic access network. A PON reduces the amount of cabling and equipment required compared to an active optical network, where each user has a separate connection to the network hub. Generally, a PON configuration contains an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs) near end users.
How does it work?
PON uses an optical splitter to allow multiple subscribers to share a single fibre connection to the service provider's network. Furthermore, the splitter is a passive device that does not require any power.
The OLT contains a laser that sends an optical signal down the fibre to the splitter. As a result, the splitter then separates the signal into multiple signals, each of which is sent to a different ONU or ONT.
The ONU or ONT converts the optical signal back into an electrical signal that can be used by the customer's equipment.
Advantages
PON offers a number of advantages over other access technologies, such as, twisted pair or coaxial cable:
 - PON is more scalable. It is easier to add new subscribers to a PON system than other types of network.
 - The passive components in a PON system do not require power, which means that there are fewer potential points of failure.
 - Cost-effective - the use of optical splitters means that a PON system can serve many subscribers with a single fibre connection. As a result, this reduces the amount of cabling and equipment required compared to other types of network.
Disadvantages
PON has a number of disadvantages compared to other access technologies:
 - PON is more vulnerable to environmental factors. For example, components can be damaged by water, humidity, or temperature extremes.
 - The OLT and ONU/ONT equipment required for a PON system is more expensive than the equipment required for other types of network.
 - Longer installation times - Passive optical components must be carefully installed and aligned, which can take longer than other types of network.
What is Ethernet Passive Optical Network?
Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is a type of Passive Optical Network (PON) that uses Ethernet as the transport protocol. EPON is standardized by the IEEE 802.3ah committee.
EPON offers a number of advantages over other PON technologies:
 - Uses a standard Ethernet interface, which simplifies equipment compatibility and reduces costs.
 - Supports a wide range of data rates, from 10Mbps to 1Gbps.
 - Can be easily upgraded to support higher data rates by simply changing the optical transceivers.
What is Gigabit Passive Optical Network?
Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) is a type of PON that supports data rates up to 2.5Gbps downstream and 1.25Gbps upstream. GPON is standardized by the ITU-T G.984 series of recommendations.
What is Next Generation Passive Optical Network?
Next Generation Passive Optical Network (NG-PON) is a type of PON that supports data rates up to 40Gbps downstream and 10Gbps upstream. NG-PON is standardized by the ITU-T G.989 series of recommendations.
Advantages of GPON & NG-PON over other PON technologies:
 - Supports very high data rates, making it ideal for applications such as HDTV and video-on-demand.
 - GPON & NG-PON are scalable - it is easy to add new subscribers or upgrade existing subscribers to higher data rates.
 - Cost-effective: the use of optical splitters means that an NG-PON system can serve many subscribers with a single fibre connection. As a result, this reduces the amount of cabling and equipment required compared to other types of network.

- "A sickly green creature with sharp little horns had its face pressed against the glass, pulling faces and flexing its long, spindly fingers."
A Grindylow is a small, horned water demon.
Professor Remus Lupin ordered a Grindylow in 1993 for his third year class to study for Defence Against the Dark Arts. After his resignation, he left behind the tank in which the Grindylow was kept.
Two years later, the Grindylows of the Black Lake at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry attacked the students competing in the _PHONE_ Triwizard Tournament. They caused the early retirement from the task of Fleur Delacour, and nearly killed Harry Potter.
Grindylows survive, for the most part, on fish, algae, and small sea creatures; however, occasionally they will eat humans (it is for this reason that they are classified as dark creatures).
The Grindylow is a sickly green colour, with green teeth and small pointy horns on its head. It has long, strong (albeit brittle) fingers which it uses to strangle its prey, and is a rather good swimmer.
The Grindylow has long, brittle fingers which despite their fragility are rather strong. The trick to escaping a Grindylow is to break their grip on a person; it can also be noted that the Revulsion Jinx may help with this task, as underwater it shoots jets of boiling hot water.
Behind the scenesEdit
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the grindylow is a small creature with tentacles and two dangling tentacles on its head. In the book, there is no such description.
- The term "grindylow" was often used interchangeably with the term "hag" in Old English folklore.

Where can I get blueprints for a house?
Click to see full answer.
Considering this, are building blueprints public record?
A blueprint is a map of a building. It ties the concept of design to the details required to erect a structure. Once the blueprints have been filed by the contractor with the municipality building department, these building plans are public records and technically attainable by anyone wanting to view them.
Beside above, how much does it cost to have blueprints drawn up? Blueprints are typically created by a draftsperson using CAD software, with some assistance from an architect. For this example, we'll look at the cost of getting blueprints for a two story, 1000 square foot addition. The average cost is $1200-$1500.
Consequently, is it cheaper to buy or build a house?

As one example in 1998, some Pawnees attended the funeral of a kinswoman who died in southern Oklahoma in the old Choctaw country.
After her death, the Pawnees told the folks back home that when they, her relatives, went to the funeral the Choctaws largely ignored them.
The afflicted woman said that the Pawnees used to be able to reverse the spell, but only certain persons knew how and they are gone she thinks, at least she doesn't know of any who can do it now.
For many years the Wichitas and Pawnees have visited each other on alternate years and have done so for many decades.
Among the Pawnees certain individuals were said to assume animal forms and in this form witchcraft could occur.
Nevertheless, human emotions such as anger, jealousy and the desire for revenge could overcome this restraint, and witching did occur - and does today according to some Pawnees.
The Pawnees have a saying that a person should never "put himself out in front of others" in an conspicuous way.
Pawnee beliefs indicate a long history in which witchcraft was said to have occurred.
Tirawahat, the Pawnee Great Father in the Heavens, sent down the Sun Boys who destroyed her powers and eventually she is carried off to become the Woman in the Moon so far away that she could no longer do harm.(3)
One Pawnee Skidi band story relates that when men began to learn magic from animals they also learned the rituals of witchcraft from them.
In a Pawnee story related by John Box, a man killed his wife and fed her flesh to their children.
It is not known when the Pawnee myths and legends that describe witchcraft were first told, but it can be noted that in time men not supernatural beings gained the power to do evil through magic.

IZA DP No. 4108: The Gender Education Gap in China: The Power of Water
We investigate girls' school dropout rates, bringing forward a novel variable: access to water. We hypothesise that a girl's education suffers when her greater water need for female hygiene purposes after menarche is not met because her household has poor access to water. For testing we use data from rural villages in the China Health and Nutrition Survey. We find that menarche is associated with an increase in the school dropout rate, and indeed the effect is weaker for girls who have good access to water. Water engineering can thus contribute significantly to reducing gender education gaps in rural areas.

Giant Zometool sculpture
By George Hart for the Museum of Mathematics
What is the largest geometric structure you have ever made? This giant Zometool construction contains 50,000 parts and is five meters in diameter.
As this detail image shows, Zometool is a plastic construction set with hubs and struts that provide lengths and angles for making mathematical models. The effect of elegant smooth curves results from many short straight pieces.
The sculpture was made at the Bridges Math/Art conference in Banff. Over a hundred people worked together to execute this beautiful design by Chris Kling, in memorial to him. At The Museum of Mathematics, we support this sort of hands-on building experience to convey mathematical principles in a fun, engaging manner.

Dr. Watson
Dr. Watson is a Windows utility which runs in the background and keeps checking your computer for errors and problems. When Dr.Watson detects a problem or error with any application in your computer it immediately throws an alert and informs you that the program has encountered an error and will be shut down. You will also be given the option of sending the error to Microsoft. Though this can be really a pain at times, think about it – it's a whole lot better to restart one single application in your computer, than to restart the whole computer!
When Dr.Watson encounters a problem in your computer, it not only displays an error message/alert, but also creates a log of the error. The Dr.Watson log file can is located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\DrWatson and is called drwtsn32.log. You can find the latest error message if you scroll down to the very bottom of the file.
Generally, you don't have to be too concerned when you see one of these error message flash on your screen because it usually goes away when you restart your computer. But if you are getting repeated error messages about an application, then you will have to look into it more closely.

Fifty new trees have already been planted but within a few months there will be almost 3 thousand plants that the Monza Eni Circuit will plant at its own expense in the Monza Park. The Autodromo has started in the last few days the planting of the first fifty examples of hornbeams (i.e. large adult plants) five meters high, to reconstruct a row along an avenue between the second curve of Lesmo and the Serraglio. The lot of hornbeams is composed of 554 plants in total and will be entirely planted by the beginning of the spring season.
This is the planting intervention, to compensate for the cutting of a few hundred trees placed in the green areas inside the portion of the Park of Monza belonging to the Temple of Speed, in a ratio of one tree planted against one cut or crashed. The removal of the plants, which has taken place in recent years, has improved the safety of the areas of the circuit where risk situations have been detected. In fact, the interventions have involved both trees in worrying vegetative conditions within areas affected by the transit and parking of people and vehicles and trees crashed by the wind during the violent storms that have characterized the last summer seasons.
The cutting works concerning risk situations have been previously authorised by the competent Authorities: Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro, Consorzio Villa Reale e Parco di Monza, Soprintendenza Belle Arti e paesaggio di Milano and for the provinces of Como, Lecco, Monza and Brianza, Pavia, Sondrio and Varese.
As part of the maintenance and development of the park's green spaces by the Monza Eni Circuit, in addition to the trees in the first lot, another 2,400 plants will be planted by spring. The operation fulfils the requirements of the previous agreement for the concession of the Monza Circuit area for the years 2016 to 2019, which includes the placement of 600 forest plants per year.
The forest seedlings will be of certified origin belonging to the Park's floricultural heritage and with seed from the Lombardy regional genetic heritage, suitable for planting in the wooded or reforested portions of the park because they are able to develop appropriately to the context and specific stationary conditions. The 554 plants to replace the cuts will be mostly adult specimens between 3 and 6 metres in height. In fact, it has been chosen the use of specimens with ready effect, where the plants will be planted along avenues, to reconstitute the pre-existing rows, or isolated; in wooded areas it will be preferred the choice of forest seedlings combined with the necessary multi-year cultivation care.
In compliance with the prescriptions of the Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro, the tree plants planted will belong to species considered ecologically consistent with the station: oak (Quercus robur), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), oak (Quercus petraea), field maple (Acer campestre), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), cherry (Prunus avium), elm (Ulmus minor).
At the same time as these operations, the Autodromo di Monza is preparing an overall project for the cultivation of its forest heritage which will be presented next month at a regional call for forestry measures to support the redevelopment of lowland forests.

Restormel Castle is a typical motte and bailey style castle was first built c1100 probably built by Baldwin Fitz Turstin. It was surrounded by a deep, wide moat, long since dried up. There is an unusual large circular shell Keep which encloses the principal apartments of the castle and, viewed from above, resembles an amphitheatre. Restormel differs from the many other motte and bailey Norman castles by having an unusually wide and deep ditch with a fairly low motte. This is because the ditch was cut into the rock, rather than the motte built up from the ditch.
The earliest mention of the castle is its surrender by de Tracy in 1264. When Edmond, Earl of Cornwall in 1299, the Earldom of Cornwall reverted to the Crown. Since that date Restormel has belonged to the Earldom (latter the Duchy) of Cornwall.
It was probably Richard, Earl of Cornwall who built the stone castle when he moved his main administrative centre to Restormel from Launceston, another shell keep. Although not tremendously strong defensively, the shape and design of the building with its large windows and views over the countryside, reflect the high status of its owner. The surrounding deer park was then the largest in Cornwall
In 1354 and in 1365 it is known that Edward, the Black Prince, visited the castle and, for a while, made it his home. By the sixteenth century the buildings were unoccupied and in ruins.
During the Civil War the keep was garrisoned by the Parliamentarian army of Lord Essex, which was holding Lostwithiel and Fowey. However on 21 August 1644 the castle was captured by Sir Richard Grenville. From that time onwards it was left neglected and decaying.
It is now a peaceful setting 2km north of Lostwithiel, Cornwall. It overlooks the River Fowey where there was once a major crossing point of the river. There are splendid views over the surrounding countryside, and is particularly lovely in Spring, when daffodils and bluebells cover the banks.
Drawbridge. The castle was originally entered over a drawbridge, and there is some evidence to suggest that a second drawbridge existed at one time within the square Gate Tower. Some masonry from earlier buildings can be seen at the base of the Gate Tower.
Moat. This was never a true water filled moat, but the castle latrines, rainwater and rubbish all filled the moat to make it fairly unsavoury.
Gatehouse. The gatehouse was constructed at different times. The inner side was part of the defence of the early wooden structure, and the outer part built when the stone structure went up. You can still see the recess that received the drawbridge.
Walls. The walls diameter is about 38 meters, and they are 2.4 meters thick and made out of a local shillet stone. The stone was rendered and then lime washed for protection. Door surrounds and windows, were carved from higher quality stone, and most of this has been removed for re-use in other buildings in the area. The wall walk around the top is still passable via the stairs leading up to it on either side of the entrance.
Keep. The huge stone Keep was built during the early years of the 13th century to replace the timber defences. And towards the end of that century, the main buildings within the Keep such as the accommodation, kitchen and great hall, were completed,
Water Supply. A well chamber in the courtyard (8 meters deep) provided the original water supply, but an additional source was supplied from a spring, sited on the higher ground outside of the castle, and run to the fortress via a lead conduit (pieces of which have been found in the buildings and surrounding fields)
Chapel. The chapel sticks out from the keep wall. The curtain wall was opened during the thirteenth century for the addition of the chapel. It appears that a gun emplacement was put here during the Civil War.
Great Hall. The great hall was built to impress guests, rather than deter aggressors. It has two large windows in the curtain wall. And there were probably two more windows on the courtyard side. A door leads from the great hall to the solar, the lord's private quarters. And there are stairs leading up to the wall walk.

aṣṭamaṅgalaArticle Free Pass
aṣṭamaṅgala, eight auspicious symbols frequently represented on Jaina ritual objects. Aṣṭamaṅgalas are common to both the Śvetāmbara and Digambara sects and are found on 1st-century-ad votive slabs and in miniature paintings, as well as being employed in Jaina worship today. In the modern Jaina temple they are seen carved on the offering stands. Women devotees also form the symbols out of uncooked rice when making an offering to the Jina images. Although there are various traditions, the eight symbols are usually considered to be (1) darpaṇa (mirror), (2) bhadrāsana (throne), (3) vardhamānaka (powder vase), (4) kalaśa (full water vessel), (5) matsyayugma (pair of fish), (6) śrīvatsa symbol, (7) nandyāvarta (an elaborated swastika), and (8) swastika.

As of Wednesday April 28, 2021: the occupancy rate of intensive care beds decreases timidly in the most affected metropolitan regions (Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and PACA) but is rising in d ' others (Normandy, Pays de la Loire, New Aquitaine). Only Brittany and Corsica see a significant decrease in the pressure in intensive care.
Initial capacity is fully saturated in 11 regions
In the Overseas Territories, the rate goes back to Mayotte and explodes in Guadeloupe and Guyana, exceeding the entire initial capacity of these regions, where, moreover, vaccination is very late. The initial capacity is now fully saturated in the majority of regions (11 of 18). All other regions are above the health emergency threshold.
Graphic. Evolution of the occupancy rate of intensive care beds in the French regions over the last four weeks.

1. The thresholds in the graph have been modified to adopt the new alert levels set up by the Ministry of Solidarity and Health: maximum alert (30%) and health emergency (60%).
2. Due to the time lag between the time of infection and admission to ICU (approximately two weeks), Wednesday's data actually reflects the state of the epidemic two to three weeks ago.


Attest Function
DEFINITION of 'Attest Function'
The process of independent review of the validity of data audited by an accountant. The attest function encompasses all research done in an audit, including all of the testing and examination of a company's data and numbers. It also includes the finished audit report. An attest function often refers to the independent review (audit) of a company's financial statements.
BREAKING DOWN 'Attest Function'
The attest function is one of the most important duties of any Certified Public Accountant (CPA). In order for an attest function to be affective, an adequate amount of data must be sampled. The goal of an attest function is to express an opinion on a company's financial statements and provide some assurance as to their accuracy.

400-Mile Walk on Rim of Africa Mountain Passage
Photograph by Charles Powne
From solo diving to the ocean's deepest point to uncovering a hidden sea monster, National Geographic explorers have had an eventful and exciting 2012. Here are just a few examples of the work that's left us looking forward to another year of incredible exploration.
Storms, the sweltering African sun, and limited access to water were all challenges that Jay Simpson overcame when walking over 400 miles on the Rim of Africa Mountain Passage. After walking alone for 15 days before being joined by others to finish the journey, Simpson became the first person to walk the entire route, aiming to excite and educate South African youth about conservation and the environment.

Those who were anxious about the 2012 Maya-predicted apocalypse need not worry thanks to a discovery made by archaeologist Bill Saturno. A roughly 1,200-year-old home found in Guatemala features wall art and calculations that refer to dates after the December 21 doomsday.
Journey to the Bottom of the Ocean

One of this year's biggest moments in exploration occurred when Explorer-in-Residence James Cameron performed a record-breaking solo dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, over seven miles below the surface of the ocean. Now, the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE is in its second phase— scientific analysis of the expedition's findings and the production of a 3-D feature film. Cameron hopes that other scientists will continue to explore the Mariana Trench in his custom-built sub.
Campsite Built of Bee Hives

Catherine Jaffee had a particularly sweet 2012. Following the honey trail in northeastern Turkey, Jaffee spent her days leading tours and learning about the local beekeeping culture. After joining a farmer for a day harvesting honey in Çıldır, Jaffee decided to ask if she could camp outside for the night among the beehives.
"First baffled and then amused, the beekeepers decided to build us a fortress using the empty hives, a ladder, and a tarp for shelter. We woke up the next morning to the gentle buzzing of Caucasian bees, coming in to check out the interior, and some fresh flower honey from our hosts for breakfast," says Jaffee's colleague Claire Bangser.
New Face on the Human Family Tree

Who were our earliest ancestors in the first chapter of the human story? A study led by paleontologists Meave and Louise Leakey unearthed new information about the products of a 40-year search. New fossils found east of Kenya's Lake Turkana confirm that at least three different human species inhabited the same neighborhood at the beginning of humanity. The fossils were discovered within six miles of a disputed skull found by Meave's husband in 1972—confirming that the skull represents a new species.
Uncovering Sea Monsters in the Arctic

What does it take to uncover a sea monster? Patience, determination, and a good sense of humor. When paleontologist Jørn Hurum's team went ten days on the chilly Island of Spitsbergen—78 degrees North—without making the sought-after discovery, they didn't let the lack of findings bring their spirits down. This optimism paid off when, on day 11, the team found the skull of a plesiosaur, solving a 150-year-old mystery surrounding the so far fragmented remains of the genus Colymbosaurus.
Mountain Photos Then and Now
Photograph by Sorin Rechitan
High up in the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash mountains in Peru, Sergiu Jiduc spent about a month re-creating photographs from similar expeditions in 1936 and 1939. By comparing the two sets of photos, Jiduc could document changes in the area caused by an earthquake, human impact, climate change, and other factors. Here, he holds a 1939 Alpenverein photograph of Paron Lake—the largest in Cordillera Blanca-while overlooking the lake itself.
Bizarre Fish Face

This charismatic triggerfish was just one of the creatures Explorer-in-Residence Enric Sala encountered on his journey to the Pitcairn Islands this year. Sala, along with fellow Explorer-in-Residence Mike Fay, surveyed the islands as part of his Pristine Seas expeditions, which aim to help protect the last undisturbed places in the ocean. Together, Sala and Fay examined both land and sea around the islands of Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno.
Befriending the Locals

In Punta Tombo, Argentina, biologist Dee Boersma shared a special moment with an inhabitant of the local penguin colony. While conducting a population census circle by counting all of the active nests within the area, Boersma was joined by Turbo the penguin, a member of the largest Magellanic breeding colony.
Spotting One of Earth's Rarest Species
Photograph by Andrew Stanbridge
Exactly how rare is the endangered São Tomé giant reedfrog? The animal, which breeds in water-filled tree hole cavities, is currently only known from a single "special tree" in the montane forests located on the island of São Tomé. In an opportunity provided by a California Academy of Sciences expedition, biologist Rayna Bell had the chance to visit the tree and see several clutches of the frog's eggs—as well as a few breeding adults of the endemic species.
Photograph by Josh Howard
A recent field expedition became an opportunity for photographer Josh Howard to spend time with the person who originally sparked his interest in his craft: his father, pictured above. Together the two traveled to Bonaire to document the island's plan to become 100 percent dependent on renewable energy, as well as the beauty of the surrounding marine sanctuary. "My father served as a great dive buddy throughout the course of the trip," Howard says.
Old Species, New Tricks
Photograph by Christopher Golden
When eco-epidemiologist Christopher Golden works in Madagascar, he can be found doing anything from collecting human blood samples to observing forest resource extractions like bat or bush pig hunts. This year, Golden organized what he thought was an isolated grid area of study in Makira Natural Park, monitoring different populations of the tenrec. An unexpected result revealed that tenrecs not only range much farther than expected, but they were also discovered to possess a previously unknown talent—swimming.
Beyond the Bucket List
Photograph by Eric Leifer
What started out as a simple canyoneering trip soon became Eric Leifer's favorite adventure of 2012—and one of the best of his life thus far. When Leifer and his team first dropped their ropes into the unknown depths of Hawaii's Mana Creek, they weren't prepared for the true immensity of the route.
"In the world of exploratory technical canyoneering, once you pull your ropes, the only way out is down. You must come equipped to deal with any and every obstacle you can imagine," Leifer says. After 32 hours of exploring the dark chasm—encountering unparalleled natural beauty, spiritual connection, and dire consequences—the team emerged triumphant.
A Closer Look

In 2012, cultural educator Aziz Abu Sarah began leading a National Geographic expedition that focuses on the history and culture of the Holy Land. His unique tour explores sites that include the City of David, Masada, the Sea of Galilee, and Jerusalem—all through the eyes of Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Here, the group stops for a photo with a friendly camel at the Mount of Olives.

 sort(S.rbegin(), S.rend());
Why do we need sort by each time $T = 1, \dots, N$? There is a example:
-> 10, 9
-> 10, 9, 9, 8
-> 10, 9, 9, 8, 9, 8, 8, 7
-> 10, 9, 9, 8, 9, 8, 8, 7, 9, 8, 8, 7, 8, 7, 7, 6
Let's explain why the greedy algorithm above works well.
We use the pedigree table to denote the tree that connect the parent and its children.
First, we see that the answer is "No" if we cannot simulate by our algorithm. This is because, when the algorithm is interrupted, there must be so big a slime $X$ that we cannot make by slimes in $V$. If the answer were "Yes", we must have had the valid pedigree table that are not greedy. Suppose $X$ is in $k$-th generation in this table and interrupted in $l$-th. If $k = l$, it is a contradiction. If $k > l$, we don't have to stop algorithm, which implies contradiction. If $k < l$, we can find a slime $Y$ in less-than-or-equal-to-$k$-th generation in this algorithm that can be swapped by $X$, which implies the number of $X$ is greater than $Y$. The greedy algorithm implies the number of $X$ is less than $Y$. This is a contradiction. This is what we want to show.
Second, we prove that, if the answer is "Yes", this greedy succeeds. Suppose we can construct a valid pedigree table that is not greedy, which means we passed the number $x$ to use $y$ with $y < x$. Suppose that $x$ is in $k$-th and $y$ is in $l$-th. We have $k \geq l$. If $k = l$, it means nothing. Assume $k > l$. Let $T _ x$ be the tree that contains all the grandchildren of $x$. Then, we have the tree $T _ y$ which contains the following slimes.
 - $y$ itself.
 - the slimes that was a grandchild of $y$ produced at the time $T \geq k$.
We can swap $T _ x$ and $T _ y$. The validness still follows after the swap. We do this finite times to get the greedy pedigree table.

Much comparative research into education-related beliefs has exploited questionnaires developed in one culture for use in another. This has been particularly the case in mathematics education, the focus of this paper. In so doing, researchers have tended to assume that translation alone is sufficient to warrant a reliable and valid instrument for cross-cultural research, prompting concerns that a number of necessary equivalences are unlikely to have been addressed. In this paper, we consider the nature of these equivalences before examining the literature of a different field, healthcare research, to synthesise an approach to instrument adaptation that is pragmatic but rigorous. Finally, we demonstrate how this pragmatic approach, incorporating extensive cognitive interviews, enabled us to adapt and refine a mathematics-related beliefs questionnaire, developed in Flanders, for use with students aged 14?15 in England and Spain. Analyses indicate that the instrument so developed is multidimensional, reliable and cross-culturally valid. Some implications are discussed.

Paper title: Reliability Challenges in Fabrication of Flexible Hybrid Electronics for Human Performance Monitors: A System Level Study
Abstract: Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) interface rigid electronic components with flexible sensors, circuits, and substrates. This paper reports the reliability improvement of a FHE Human Performance Monitor (HPM), designed to monitor electrocardiography (ECG) signals. The 50.8 mm × 50.8 mm HPM is fabricated on Kapton® HN polyimide (PI) substrate with flexible gold (Au) ECG electrodes on one side of the substrate and rigid electronic components for signal processing and communication mounted on the other side of the substrate. Our previously reported HPMs demonstrated reliability issues due to (1) cracking of the copper (Cu) circuitry, and (2) thinning and lack of adhesion at the printed Au and plated Cu interface that connected printed sensors to the Cu circuitry. Both failure mechanisms resulted in electrical opens in the circuit, which caused device failure. We explored effect of different design parameters, such as PI substrate thickness (50 μm vs 125 μm), Cu circuit thickness (2 μm vs 6 μm), solder reflow temperature (205 °C for Tin-Lead (Sn-Pb) vs 175 °C for Tin-Bismuth (Sn-Bi) solder), solder pad design, and optimized inkjet printing (printing on bare Cu vs Au plated Cu) on improving FHE reliability. Test vehicles (TVs) with different combinations of these factors were fabricated and bend tested to determine the most robust configuration. TVs with 50 μm thick PI substrate, 6 μm thick Cu circuit, Sn-Bi solder, redesigned solder pads with rounded corners, and printed Au traces on Au plated Cu pads demonstrated the best reliability results

A new research paper by Aan Fleur Terrens et al reports about the positive effects of Aquatic Therapy on the perceived Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. The researchers are very careful in their conclusions, pointing out that depending on the progression of the disease, the logistics to get to a pool and getting (un-) dressed can be experienced as quite a hassle. That said, still the participants reported positive feedback about their HRQoL to the researchers.
Update (April 2021):
Another recent publication (Carroll (2020)) about the same topic confirmed conclusions, but also added that optimal components of aquatic therapy identified were access to individually tailored aquatic programs, completed as a minimum once a week, at a moderate to high-intensity level, and guided by a credentialed instructor. Participants identified a strong need for education and increased awareness about aquatic therapy benefits to promote greater engagement.
Aquatic therapy is a popular exercise choice for people with Parkinson's disease, especially in the early to middle disease stages. Considering the views of people living with Parkinson's disease can aid the design and implementation of interventions and future aquatic research internationally.
Implications for Rehabilitation
- Aquatic therapy is emerging as an effective physiotherapy approach for managing motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease.
- Little is known regarding community-based aquatic therapy programs from the perspectives of people living with Parkinson's disease internationally.
- People with Parkinson's disease may benefit from timely information about the unique benefits, prerequisites, and local aquatic therapy facilities to promote greater uptake of aquatic programs.
- Tailored aquatic therapy interventions delivered within a group setting by a credentialed healthcare professional may increase long-term adherence.

Waders such as lapwings or redshank, seabirds such as terns, and gamebirds such as grey partridges. Waders do it because their chicks, which are flightless for about a month, need to be able to find insects for themselves.
Doesn't it make them more vulnerable to predation?
Yes, but they have evolved defences against it. Lapwings mob predators in a group, and we know this works because where there are a lot of them nesting, they lose fewer chicks to predation. Redshanks do almost the opposite – they rely on staying hidden.
Does predation have an impact on numbers?
The big declines in wader numbers have been as a result of changes in land management that have reduced the availability and quality of nesting areas. Wader numbers are kept low by poor breeding success, and predation is the main reason for that.
Are there more predators of waders' nests than there used to be?
We don't know for sure, but we do know that we have lost larger carnivores such as wolves that would have regulated smaller ones such as foxes and badgers.
Are badgers a major predator of nests?
Our studies found that foxes took 70 per cent of nests and badgers 12 per cent. In some locations, badgers can be a particular problem: at Minsmere, BBC Two's Springwatch filmed badgers taking the eggs and chicks of waders, terns and gulls.
What can be done to stop predation?
Habitat management to attract high densities of waders is the first step. Fencing can be effective, and since badgers are protected it's the only means of stopping them. Lethal control is another option and can help to increase breeding success, but it is a skilled job and not easy to do well.

Bode Plot
The Bode plot describes the output response of a frequency-dependent system for a sine wave input. It is a combination of a Bode magnitude plot and a Bode phase plot.
A Bode magnitude plot is a graph of log magnitude against log frequency. It makes the multiplication of magnitudes a simple matter of adding distances on the graph, since log (a*b)= log a + log b. The magnitude axis of the Bode plot is often converted directly to decibels.
A Bode phase plot is a graph of phase against log frequency, usually used in conjunction with the magnitude plot, to evaluate how much a frequency will be phase-shifted. For example, a signal described by Asin(ωt) may be attenuated but also phase-shifted. If the system attenuates it by a factor x and phase shifts it by −Φ, the signal out of the system will be (A/x) sin(ωt − Φ). The phase shift Φ is generally a function of frequency.
The picture below shows an example of a Bode plot of an RC filter (Low-Pass Filter).
A low-pass filter is a filter that passes low frequencies well but attenuates (or reduces) frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. The actual amount of attenuation for each frequency varies from filter to filter.
Transfer function: VOUT /VIN =1/[1+j(f/fc )]
The cutoff frequency point fc (in Hertz) is at the frequency fc =1/(2πfRC), which is frequently referred to as the −3 dB point.
Magnitude plot referred:
It consists of two lines: for frequencies below fc it is a horizontal line at 0 dB, for frequencies above fc it is a line with a slope of −20 dB per decade.
Phase plot referred: Responding to 0.1fc, fc, 10fc, the phase shift is -5.7°, -45°, -90°, respectively.

Campbell Transit Station
Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa
Located in a 30-acre parking lot, the Campbell Transit Station is designed to serve the commuting needs of faculty and students. While programmatic requirements included: seating, wireless communication, restroom, and vending facilities, the station was designed to resist the effects of recurrent flooding through the use of cast-in-place concrete construction.
The undulating roof also participates in the ecology of the site by collecting and directing rainwater to a native grass rain garden. The result is a shelter that marks its place in the horizontal landscape by a parallel and undulating overhead plane–by the shadows it casts, wind it buffers and the precipitation it sheds.

Tour description, The Riddarholmen Church
Interior at the Riddarholmen Church. Photo: The Royal Court.
Riddarholm Church is situated in the centre of Stockholm and is one of the city's oldest buildings.
In all probability, the church dates back to the 1300s and was part of a Franciscan monastery. A guided tour takes approximately 45 minutes.
The guided tour starts with a presentation of the church's earliest history - from the 1200s to the beginning of the 1500s - starting with a special exhibit just inside the entrance to the church.
During Sweden's "Great Power" period the church was given a new purpose. Gustav II Adolf decided before he travelled to Germany that if he was killed in war that he would be buried at Riddarholmen. This decision gave rise to a new burial tradition that continued until Gustaf V's funeral in 1950.
Some of the more renowned monarchs buried in the church include Karl XI, Karl XII, Gustav III and Karl XIV Johan.
The inside of the church is quite striking with walls bearing many beautifully painted coats of arms. When a knight or member of the Order of Seraphim dies, his or her coat of arms is hung in the church. The tradition of the Order of Seraphim dates back the mid-18th century. Following the reorganization of the orders in 1975 the order is only awarded to foreign heads of state and members of the royal family.
A guided tour of Riddarholm Church is rich in history featuring everything from the history of the church, medieval history, "Great Power" history, history of the royal family to the history of Stockholm.
The tour information provided above is general. The more detailed content of the tour will vary depending on the focus of the tour guide on duty.

We join the World Food Day and spread awareness messages about it, in line with our vocation to share knowledge.
On October 16 is World Food Day and we join the FAO message: Grow, nourish, sustain. Together.
World Food Day is calling for global solidarity to help the most vulnerable to recover from the pandemic and to make food systems more resilient and robust so they can withstand increasing volatility and climate shocks, deliver affordable and sustainable healthy diets for all, and decent livelihoods for food system workers.
At Semillas Fitó we work to facilitate global access to safe and nutritious food from the seeds. We build long-term, trust-based relationships with our #FoodHeroes, farmers and workers across the agri-food chain, to ensure food supply even in tough times. In addition, we employ sustainable innovation that favors the preservation of the planet, considered essential by FAO to achieve a #ZeroHunger world and face the challenge of climate change.
In accordance with our social commitment and with the aim of creating greater awareness, we have created several videos with data provided by FAO on food waste, the difficulties of the agricultural sector and world hunger.
We also highlight one of the main food trends that often generates confusion and debate: organic food. Hence, we have organized a webinar addressed to our coworkers about the myths and truths of organic farming. Israel Roca, Head of Sales & Marketing Europe at Semillas Fitó, and Paco Casallo, CEO of HaciendasBio, will discuss some concepts such as: are organic foods healthier?, is it possible to feed the world only with organic farming? or is it the same "bio", "eco" and "organic"?, and they will share their respective points of view on this topic.
The current health crisis is making us value our most basic needs, such as food, and now more than ever we must raise awareness and support vulnerable groups that lack them, as well as give recognition to the people who work every day to supply the world.

The work of a local student is headed for the Smithsonian museum in Washington, D.C.
Miriam Carlson just got her driver's license, but the Rockford teen is more excited about an exhibit on communism and the palmer raids.
"You don't hear a lot about it. It's kind of a sore subject people just want to forget about it," says Miriam.
But this ambitious home schooled 16-year-old dug it all back up and found an interesting Rockford connection. In the 1920's, the U.S. government arrested more people per capita for alleged communist involvement in Rockford than anywhere else in the country.
"I learned that the government overreacted to this and they should have just let the democratic government work things out," says Miriam.
Miriam's turned the research into an exhibit that's earned her national recognition from the state and now on a national level.
"It's wonderful, exciting. The technique that she used worked finally in the end. But I was a little skeptical of her vision that she had. But she pulled it off," says Betsy Carolson, Miriam's mom and teacher.
Miriam's work will be displayed at the Smithsonian in June where she'll compete with 99 other U.S. students in National History Day.
"They're writing history rather than just reading about history," says Betsy.
Miriam's says she's learned a lot by researching the past and she knows her hard work will bring a brighter future.
Miriam will take her exhibit to D.C. from June 15 through19 for the national competition. She tells us, in the early 1900s, 183 Rockford residents were arrested for alleged communist activity. Most were Swedish immigrants, several who went to hold prominent positions in the community.
