Audio switchboard is drop-in (compile-time) replacement for the Conference Bridge. The main benefits of using the switchboard are its ability to handle encoded audio frames, its low latency, and higher performance. Its main drawback is it doesn't do conferencing.
The main features of the switchboard are:
it has the same API as the conference bridge, except that one port can only receive from once source port
pjmedia_conf_connect_port()will disconnect previous source if it is called again for the same sink port while that sink port is currently listening to a source port
It supports encoded audio frames
For example when the audio frames from/to the audio device are already in encoded form.
One source may transmit to more than one destinations.
This is useful for example to implement call recording feature in the application.
Supports routing audio from ports with different ptime settings.
Optimized for low latency
It has zero latency unless the ptimes are different between ports.
Lightweight, both in footprint and performance.
Some conference bridge features are not available:
audio mixing feature (i.e. no conferencing feature),
audio level adjustment and query are not available when the port is using non-PCM format,

Turbulence simulation of fluid flow in channels of plate heat exchangers for heating domestic hot water in a Belgrade heating substation is the topic of this paper.
The standard K-model of turbulence is used in this paper to test turbulence phenomena in channels.
The modelling for different flow rates of fluids across channels, adopted in boundary conditions, is of particular importance in this paper.
The rate of flow in the input region of the channels was believed to be 0.01 m/sec and 0.1 m/sec, respectively, which presupposed minimum and maximum values based on measured fluid velocities in the heat substations.
The values of the exchanged kinetic energy and the character of the transition in the amplitude of the estimates of these velocities in the direction of all three axes are calculated using these assumed speeds.
We may calculate the unsteadiness of the velocity and return currents in these channels and in their contour surfaces, as well as the "dead spots" where the fluid does not pass, using these projections.
The estimated values of the streamline's Reynolds number for the assumed fluid velocity in channels are presented in this paper.
These phenomena can cause a variety of issues with heat and dirt transmission in plate heat exchanger channels where there is no circulation.
As a result, the obtained results can be used to dimension and pick heat exchangers, as well as to determine their ideal operating conditions.

Core Testing Services
Regression Testing: Regression testing at HCL involves testing a sub set of conditions in the form of test cases that will give confidence that any enhancements, fixes, configuration changes, upgrades etc have not affected the functioning of those part of the system that have not changed. HCL conducts optimized regression testing through risk assessment, impact assessment and prioritization. HCL regression testing compliments explicit testing designed to verify the changed parts of the system.
System Functional & Non Functional Testing: HCL's objective of System Functional testing is to ensure that the system satisfies the functional requirements of the detailed system specifications. HCL conducts System Functional testing with a perspective of testing the integrated system against the functional requirements and specifications. To ensure, the system satisfies the non functional attributes of the detailed system specifications and required as part of operational and other service requirements. The Non Functional Testing perspective of HCL is to test the integrated system against the non functional system attributes, system specifications, operation and other service requirements.
System Integration Testing: HCL ensures through System Integration Testing that the system integrates and interfaces / communicates with all other systems, the target platforms and other infrastructures, satisfying the requirements and specifications. Testing that the system can integrate with other services and systems as required. This includes applications, systems, data and infrastructure.
User Acceptance Testing: HCL conducts and/or supports User Acceptance testing to ensure that the business customers of the system are satisfied; the system is fit for purpose and provides confidence that the system will support business. It includes testing the system against the business requirements and objectives following actual business processes or scenarios.
Risk Based Testing (Technique / Approach): HCL understands that Testing can be time consuming and costly and cannot be economically executed to provide exhaustive coverage of any system/software. The focus and attention of testing has to be placed on aspects of software that matter most. HCL achieves this by applying the principle of Risk Based Prioritization of tests. HCL approach to testing is Risk Based to ensure that appropriate testing activities are identified and prioritized based on risk. HCL reduces the risk of failure to the business and increase customer satisfaction through this approach.

How applications use color can cause issues for users with disabilities. For non-sighted users, using colors to denote information, such as the role of items, is problematic. It's dangerous to assume that users have access to trait information through VoiceOver. Users with color blindness or other visual disabilities may have trouble distinguishing these colors, but they see well enough to not be dependent on VoiceOver. If role information is only available as either color or VoiceOver traits, these users won't know the role of an item. This can create a lot of issues when using default controls as when used in the wrong context the default styling isn't accessible.
This post will cover:
- General issues that can occur with color within applications.
- WCag criteria that apply
- Specific issues dealing with the Top Navigation Bar in iOS
The issues discussed in this post fall under the following WCag 2.0 success criteria:
- 1.4.1 - Use of color (A)
- 1.4.3 - Color Contrast (AA)
- 1.4.6 - Color Contrast Enhanced (AAA)
Note: This post is iOS-centric, as there are some interesting iOS-specific color issues--but the concepts apply equally to Android.
Issues with Color
There are many issues that can arise with the use of color. Below are a few examples, along with descriptions of default controls and typical practices.
Color as Information (1.4.1)
When dealing with accessibility, it's important to remember that there is information in your application outside of its text content. It's fairly common to use color as the primary indicator for different types of controls. For example, the default iOS style is to have blue text in a button, with a white-on-white (i.e., transparent-on-white) background. This is an example of using color as information.
The example below shows two sets of buttons. In the left example, we're using the blue text to inform the user that the controls are buttons. Notice that in the right example, we've added a subtle 3D effect to our buttons. Now the color isn't the only visual indicator conveying the role information to sighted users. When context alone isn't enough to know the role of visible controls, color shouldn't be the only indicator.
Text Contrast (1.4.3, 1.4.6)
This is fairly straightforward. When including text in your application, ensure the text is on a background that allows users to easily distinguish between the two. For example this (this) is difficult to read. In order to pass this criteria, you must have a color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for all elements (except for text larger than 18pt). A contrast ratio of 7:1 is required to pass the similar AAA requirement.
iOS Top Bar Contrast
Top Bar Contrast refers to the color contrast between the item color in the Top Bar of iPads (which includes elements like the time and the battery status) and the background color/image of the current app. Because the iPad doesn't have a navigation bar, unlike the iPhone, the background color of the Top Bar will change with the background color of the app. If the contrast isn't great enough, it may be impossible for users to effectively use the Top Bar.
Color contrast is important not only from an accessibility standpoint, but a usability one also. If the background color doesn't contrast well enough with the text color of the top bar, users with and without sight impairments may not be able to effectively read important device information. For example, if the main background of your application is black, when you're using a tablet form factor in split view mode, the black background ends up being displayed behind the top navigation bar. Since the elements of the top Navigation bar are black, they completely disappear!
Fixing Background Color for the Top Bar
In this example, our application itself is completely accessible; however, the design choices within our application caused iOS elements to break. To fix this issue, we simply need an additional view in our hierarchy. Don't add your background color styling to the root view of the layout. Leave the root view white (or transparent), and add a view on top of it, with a little bit of space for the top navigation bar. If you're adding constraints, the constraint should refer to the "top layout guide." Then add your main application background color to this view, and move the rest of your views into this, treating it as the new root view of your application.
There's no simple way to maintain color contrast in your applications. Only through careful manual inspection of all text elements can you be sure your application complies. We recommend maintaining a color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for all text elements. Also, it's important to keep in mind that not only do your backgrounds need to be checked against your content, but also against the containing context. As in our iOS Top Bar example, it's possible to have your background colors affect more than just the contents of your application.

How to Cook Canned Food in Microwave
Sharing is caring!
Whether you have baked beans or canned cat food, the microwave is well known method to reheat or cook canned food items quickly and easily.
Canned foods are precooked and then canned under intense heat to preserve the food and eliminate deadly bacteria like botulism. So cooking canned food is not required, but you can certainly reheat it.
Can you cook canned food in the microwave? It is not recommended to place the can within a microwave as the can is made of aluminum, tin or possibly steel. The contents of the can should be transferred to a microwave safe container, and then reheated to an internal temperature of 74°C or 165°F.
In this article, learn the best way to microwave canned food. Additionally, the frequently asked questions about microwaving canned foods are answered with information that you need to know about safe food handling procedures.
Does canned food require cooking?
No, canned foods does not need to be cooked as they are pre-cooked and canned under intense heat. The canning process sterilizes the product by heating the content to eliminate bacteria, therefore it is safe to eat without reheating.
However, canned foods may be cooked if you want hot food or to add some flavor to the dish. Tuna, corned beef and chicken noodle soup are all pre-cooked canned foods that you can eat them right from the can without cooking, and it does not make you sick.
Some canned food contents are cooked to get the advantage of blending in added spices, veggies or flavorings. So, recooking them enhances the added flavors.
On the other side, for canned soup, you can eat them even if it's cold. the nutrient content won't change, but the heated soup will provide enhanced flavor and taste.
Is it safe to cook canned food in the can?
No, it is not safe to cook canned food in the can, particularly in a microwave. The majority of the cans have a plastic lining and are made of aluminum, both present a risk of chemical release within the food.
Although not recommended, in emergency situations it can be heated or cooked with its lid removed and placed in simmering water on the stovetop, but not in the microwave.
To microwave canned food safely, transfer the contents into a microwave soup bowl and heat it in the microwave until it reaches the proper internal temperature.
Simmer water in a pan on the stovetop, and place the can in it to heat the contents within. The canned lid must be removed to avoid any build-up of steam pressure.
Aluminum foil can be used to cover the opened can to avoid spilling or splattering the canned food when heated.
So, heating food in the can is not the best choice.
The plastic lining is considered to be safer than BPA, which is connected to brain growth issues in kids and cancer in grown-ups. Look for canned food that are BPA free to minimize the harmful chemical leaching into the food contents.
However, if you are camping or outdoor with limited kitchen supplies, follow the steps below to cook in a can:
 - Eliminate the outer paper label.
 - In the top, use can opener to remove the lid to release built up steam pressure. Leaving the lid over the top helps to prevent fire ash from entering the food while heating.
 - Place the can in a pot of boiling water to gently warm the contents
 - Slow cook and stir well to distribute the heat.
 - When its done, the can will be very hot, so handle very carefully to avoid serious injuries.
Can you heat a can in the microwave?
It is not safe to heat a can in the microwave. Instead, pour the canned food contents in a microwave-safe bowl and heat up.
Microwaving metal cans can shield the electromagnetic radiation which results in sparks. Putting a metal into a microwave is a dangerous as the appliance may catch fire.
As per FDA, canned food is cooked before packaging it in the can. So heating the food in the microwave adds to taste and texture, but is not necessary.
But, since canned foods are packaged in tin, aluminum, or steel cans, they cannot be placed in the microwave to heat the food content. This can cause sparks and be a dangerous situation, furthermore heating aluminum is potentially toxic.
Steel can release nickel and chromium in trace amounts. Chemical leaching is possible when heating food in the cans, therefore it is not recommended.
Are canned foods aluminum or tin?
Generally, canned foods come in both aluminum and tin packaging. Even steel with a tin coating is commonly used to stored canned food as they are versatile and light in weight.
The canned goods have a long shelf life and the packaging is expected to last for about 5 years.
Metal cans help the stored food remain unspoiled and last long. They ensure the nutritional value of the food contents within the can sustain over time.
Majority of steel cans today are lined with a tin layer on the exterior. The tin amount is about 5lbs. per ton of steel. In the market, they are however referred to as tin cans.
Steel is eco-friendly and recyclable. Steel cans are used for food items while aluminum cans are used for beverages.
Aluminum is used as it is corrosion resistant and easy to mold into shape. In addition, it withstands 90 lbs pressure/sq. in, which is crucial for carbonated beverages.
Tips to microwave canned food
In order to heat up canned food in the microwave, the contents must be transferred to a microwave-safe bowl and covered with a lid. The timing is important to give sufficient heat to the food without overcooking it and turning it to mush.
Here are some essential tips to microwave canned food to help you enjoy the meal:
 - If you are microwaving canned veggies, drain the liquid and place it in a microwave-safe bowl to heat.
 - Microwave for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring after every minute.
 - Cover the bowl with microwavable plastic wrap with few pokes, a damp paper towel or use a microwave cover.
 - Ensure you are not using any metal dishes or utensil in a microwave as they spark and cause fire. This is why you should avoid placing the can in a microwave.
 - Do not overload the food content in the dish. Microwave in batches if required for even heating all around.
 - Heat the food content until steam or bubbles and mix in between to evenly distribute the heat.
 - Use a shallow dish in a microwave when handling dense foods.
 - Cover the food contents using a lid that is almost closed with a little opening to avoid food splattering all over and allow venting of the steam.
Without proper instructions and care, the soup can explode in the microwave.
Be aware to leave the container covered for 2 to 3 minutes after nuking to allow the heat to completely settle, especially for any canned soups and thick liquids. Prepare microwave safe container or mugs that is microwave safe for soups to replace the can.
Best way to microwave canned food
The best way to microwave canned food is by transferring it to a microwave-safe bowl and then heating it for about 2-3 minutes while stirring periodically. Do not heat the can in the microwave as it is dangerous and may result in sparks that set fire to the appliance.
Follow the steps below to microwave canned food:
 - Take the can and remove the lid.
 - Transfer the food contents to a microwave-safe bowl or dish.
 - Cover with a microwavable lid.
 - Set the microwave to 2-4 minutes.
 - Mix the food after every interval of 30 seconds.
 - Once you see the bubbles popping up.
 - Food is properly reheated when the internal temperature reaches 74°C or 165°F
How to cook canned food in microwave
Microwaving Canned Food: Conclusion
As per FDA, canned foods is pre-cooked and canned at high temperatures.
To cook or reheat any canned food in microwave,first transfer the food contents to a microwave-safe bowl and avoid using the original can packaging in the appliance.
Do not place the can into the microwave as it is hazardous and may result in sparks that could potentially cause a fire.
Add in the seasonings as you please, microwave for 2-3 minutes. Stir periodically for even heat distribution.
Meat, vegetable, beans soup and more canned foods are packaged and ready for easy meal prep, and there are variety of canned food to add to your recipe for everyday meals. Canned foods are pre-cooked and safe to consume after opening.
However, they are easy to reheat if desired. Transfer the food to a proper microwavable container and follow the recommended instructions to safely reheat canned foods in a microwave.

LOS ANGELES — Researchers have some new advice for high school students who want to improve their grades: Become friends with academically oriented classmates.
It may sound obvious, but researchers went to considerable effort to prove it.
They surveyed all members of the junior class at Maine-Endwell High School in Endwell, N.Y., and asked students to rate each of their classmates as either a "best friend," a "friend," an "acquaintance" or someone they didn't know. They got responses from 92 percent of students and used them to reconstruct the social networks among 158 11th-graders as of Jan. 11, 2011.
The research team also obtained the grade point averages for all 158 students in January 2011 and January 2012, so they could track how their academic performance changed over time. For the analysis, those GPAs were converted into class rankings. Then they compared the rankings of each student to those of their best friends, friends and acquaintances.
Sure enough, the researchers found a linear relationship between a student's grades and the academic environment of their social network. If a student's class ranking at the start of the study was higher than usual for her social network, it tended to fall over the course of the year.
Conversely, if a student ranked below the rest of her group, her class ranking tended to rise.
The most significant influence appeared to be the grades of those labeled as "friends." To explain this, the researchers hypothesized that the grades of "best friends" made little difference in the equation because they were probably very similar to start with. But the gaps between students and their "friends" were bigger, so there was more opportunity for influence.
The findings were published recently in the journal PLOS ONE. The results are in line with other studies showing that happiness, obesity and other traits can spread through social networks.
Of note: Six of the study authors are students at Maine-Endwell High. The senior author is Hiroki Sayama, director of the Collective Dynamics of Complex Systems research group at Binghamton University in Binghamton, N.Y.

Main groups of growth
While representing growth on topographic maps it is divided in the following groups: woody (woods, groves, separate trees), and shrubby; subshrubby, grassy, mossy, and lichen; artificial plantings (gardens, parks, plantations). A complex of trees with the height more than 4 meter and crown density more than 0,2 (crown density – is ratio of crowns square project of all trees of some territory to square of the territory) is a wood. A complex of trees with crown density less than 0,2 is called sparse growth of trees.
Wood structure is defined by the quantity of trees of various wood species in total number of trunks, showed in per cents. Wood where no less than 80 per cents of trees belong to one type is called pure wood. The rest 20 per cents of trees are called admixtures. According to the species woods are divided into conifers, deciduous, and mixed. Species composition influences on height, thickness and crown density. Wood's age, trees' height and thickness are interrelated.
Approximate division of forests according to the age, height and thickness is given in the table №1. Tree thickness is usually measured at men's chest.
|Wood age||Tree height, m||Tree thickness, cm|
|old||more than 10||more than 20|
According to the shape, the following types of trees are distinguished: those, which do not have underbrush and many-tiered one where trees' and shrubs' crowns form two, tree or more tiers. Wood's density is characterized by average distance between trees and crown density (table №2).
|Wood density||Average distance between trees, m||Crown density|
|dense||less than 4||more than 0,5|
|sparse growth of trees||more than 9||less than 0,2|
Shrubs are woody plants with the height up to 4 meters. It has a lot of stems, growing from the root. Species structure, height and thickness are the main characteristics of the shrubs. Undersized shrubs with the height up to 0,8 meters are called shrubs. They usually grow in flat and mountain tundra (polar birch, polar willow, blueberry, heather, wild rosemary, etc.), and also in marshes (bilberry, cowberry).
According to the place of vegetation grassy growth is divided into meadowy and steppe, according to the height – short(less than 1 meter) and tall (more than 1 meter). Mossy and lichen growth grows in tundra region, but can be also found in marshes, woods, edges of a mountain (mountain tundra). In tundra moss usually grow in low and humid places, lichen – high and dry places.
To culture growth belong numerous artificial plantings and crops of cultural plants (orchards, citrus fruits plantations, mulberries, fruit-trees, vineyards, plantations of tea, crops of field and garden cultures).
Peculiarities of growth representation on topographic maps
All types of growth in some definite way influence on locality passage conditions out of roads for wheeled and caterpillar cars, on camouflage conditions from land and air outlook.
Wood with square of 10 square meters and more in woody region and 4 square meters in densely populated region are represented on topographic maps in green color.
Undersized woods, young growth, woody pinetum with square of 10 square meters and more are represented on topographic map by means of special conventional sighs of green color, but of more light tone. Areas of thin, cutting down, burnt and deadwood woods, situated among woodland are represented by means of special conventional signs without painting when its square is 25 square meters or more in the map scale, and situated in stretch of open country and being reference points even of lesser square.
Wind-fallen trees – regions in forest situated among woodland where more than half of trees felt with square 25 square meters and with square 10 square meters in stretch of open country are represented on topographic map by means of tint color. Area where less than a half trees felt and wood in this area is difficult to traverse is represented with the sign of wind-fallen trees (lines).
Separate standing trees that have reference significance are represented on topographic maps by means of special conventional signs with division into: conifers and deciduous.
Undersized woods, young growth, woody pinetum while representing on topographic map are divided into conifers, deciduous and mixed. The dominating species are represented with special shorten signs, but if there is no specially accepted sign, the name of species is fully written.
While representing mixed wood, two main species are indicated, besides, the most important is written first.
Average height of trees in meters, average trunks' thickness measured at men's chest, average distance between trees is the characteristics of wood. While representing undersized woods, young growth, and woody pinetum with square 10 square meters and more in map scale only average height of trees is given; if trees have height less than 1 meter it is given in a fraction of a meter. Woodlands' characteristics (wind-fallen trees, water-logged areas, felling) are represented in combination of corresponding conventional signs.
Cuttings are usually represented on topographic maps. Cutting with width 20 meters and more, 40 meters and more, 60 meters and more on topographic maps 1:25 000, 1:50 000, 1:100 000 correspondingly are represented by means of two thin broken lines in accordance to its real width in topographic map scale. Cutting representation is accompanied by width sign. Numbers of woody quarters, indicated on quarter posts, placed at roads crossings are to facilitate orientation in wood.
Shrubs while representing on topographic map are divided into dense bush or groups of bushes or just separate bushes. Dense bushes of chaparral, dense bushes and separate bushes of elfin wood and haloxylon, narrow shrub lines and hedges are represented by means of special conventional signs.
Dense bushes of shrubs are represented by means of conventional signs of background light green stain. Its representation is accompanied by sign of species (conifers, deciduous, mixed) and average shrub height. Separate bushes that have reference significance are represented by means of circle that corresponds to its real position. Narrow shrub lines, hedges are represented if they are situated along roads, rivers, canals, ditches or when they have reference significance.
Grassy growth while representing on topographic map is divided into meadowy, low and high (more than 1 meter) and steppe grass. Cany and reedy bushes are represented on topographic map by means of special conventional signs. Shrubby growth (blueberry, cowberry, heather, wild rosemary) are represented only on topographic maps with scale 1:25 000. Mossy and lichen growth is represented on topographic maps with scale 1:25 000 by means of special conventional signs, on topographic maps with scale 1:50 000 – 1:100 000 by means of some common conventional sign.
Areas of grassy, shrubby, mossy, lichen growth are represented on topographic map with scale 1:25 000 if its square is 25 square meters or more in map scale. Separate areas of such growth are represented if they have reference significance and square 10 square meters or more. Areas of non swamped meadows and steppe grassy growth are represented on topographic maps with scale 1:50 000 – 1:100 000, only when depicting locality with small amount of contours.
Separate areas of cany and reedy bushes, damp areas of meadows, waterlogged areas without growth which have reference significance or essential while characterizing locality are represented on topographic map by means of contours. Steppe (grassy) and subshrubby growth in mountains are represented only on topographic map with scale 1:25 000.
Orchards, citrus fruit gardens and trees plantations are represented on topographic map by means of contours out of built-up areas. Vineyards, berry gardens and shrubby plantations (tea, roses, etc.) are represented on topographic map by means of contour when its square is 25 square meter or more in map scale. Grassy industrial crops plantations (hop, rice, etc.) that are always very damp are represented on topographic maps when its square is 25 square meter or more in map scale. Representation of grassy industrial crops plantations with square more than 1 square centimeter is accompanied by the sign (hop, rose, etc.).


text: Many blind people around the world have had challenges reading books. To help them solve their problem and not depend on others, a writing method was developed by the inventor Louis Braille known as the Braille writing method. But with the development of technologies and computers and the need for an easier and less expensive way to help the blind solve the problem of reading any manuscript, even handwritten, and converting it into audio output. Therefore, in this paper we propose to design and implement a smart gara system to assist the visually impaired using a raspberry pi connected to a webcam interfaced that takes a picture of the text. With the use of OCR technology to convert an image to text through optical character recognition and extract text information from the image and convert it into speech. Then the sound is output through the speakers and amplifier. Whereas, the raspberry pi contains OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and a text to speech conversion unit (TTS engine), where the first performs optical character recognition and extracts text from the image, while the second converts it into speech and outputs it with headphones.

text: The government obesity plan: What does it mean for your business? What does the obesity plan mean for the retail and hospitality sectors, and for those looking for opportunities within the health and wellbeing sector? Written by Aimee Bradshaw Published on 28 July 2020 Our experts We are a team of writers, experimenters and researchers providing you with the best advice with zero bias or partiality. Written and reviewed by: Aimee Bradshaw Senior Writer The government's new plan to tackle obesity aims to save the NHS over £105 million over the next three years. The plan has come in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, in which it has come to light that overweight people are more at risk of becoming severely ill with the disease. As part of the plan, the government has put forward seven steps that will help the population make better decisions around diet, exercise, and managing weight gain. But what do the steps mean for businesses? We take a look at the changes that shops, restaurants, and food-based product businesses are going to have to make. We also take a look at some of the business opportunities that could arise from the government's new focus.What does the obesity plan mean for hospitality business owners?According to the obesity paper, food portions that we purchase at out-of-home eating establishments have twice as many calories as the shop equivalent. As a result, the government wants to ensure that customers are completely aware of the nutritional value of any items they order. This means hospitality businesses with over 250 employees will need to clearly display calories on food items, counters, and menus. This move isn't mandatory for smaller hospitality businesses yet, however the government has asked them to make a voluntary move to be more transparent about the nutritional information of the food products they sell. The government is keen to measure the effectiveness of the step with larger hospitality businesses, and may choose to make the displaying of calories mandatory for smaller businesses in the future. Drinking establishments aren't in the clear, either. As alcoholic drinks are typically high in calories, the government is planning on consulting with industry bodies to look at ways in which pubs and restaurants can display calories on draught beers and ciders.What does the obesity plan mean for food product owners?The optional nutritional traffic light system on the front of food and drink products came into force in 2013. Now, after seven years, the government will conduct a review of the system to ensure nutritional information is as accessible and easy to understand as possible. It's not just the traffic light system that's being looked into. The government is also looking to introduce tighter controls on labeling and marketing for HFSS (foods high in fat and salt and/or sugar) products. At the moment, this includes banning the showing of HFSS food adverts before 9pm. It also wants to ban unhealthy food promotions online, with both of these motions coming into effect by the end of 2022. In addition to this, the government is looking at ways it can enforce product owners to further reduce salt, sugar, and calories in products. It's also consulting industry bodies to ensure more honest packaging and labelling on infant foods and prepackaged alcohol.What does the obesity plan mean for shop owners?Step four of the government's seven step obesity plan looks into how businesses can empower people to make the right food choices. Knowing that psychology has a large impact on the choices we make, shop owners are being asked to remove HFSS products from areas where parents may experience 'pester power' or people may cave into a last second craving. The government is also asking shop owners to end promotions and deals on HFSS products both in store and online, including buy one get one free and three for two deals.Opportunities for business ownersThe government has faced criticism over its obesity plan with many food industry experts believing that the actions are too little too late. Dominic Watkins, Head of Food at leading legal firm DWF, thinks these changes aren't going to be enough to counter obesity in the UK. Watkins says: "While the food and retail sectors certainly have a role to play, we as citizens arguably have a more substantial role to play in looking after our own health, and in particular, levels of activity. This is a complex and emotive topic, but one that requires holistic measures in order to make real change. Rather than banning or restricting, it would be far better to invest money in supporting 'healthy' foods and providing people with the skills to understand how to make healthier choices. A comprehensive approach to education and nudges towards choosing an active and healthy lifestyle rather than focusing just on restrictions in food and retail would be the best course of action." With that in mind, is there room in the health and wellbeing sector for businesses that have a more holistic approach to helping people lead a healthier lifestyle? The government has also said that one of its actions going forward is to look into how it can support people with obesity to lose weight through holistic weight loss and wellbeing programmes or apps. So should more people be looking into how they can disrupt the health and wellbeing technology space?Furthermore, the paper brought to light the fact that disability groups may not have access to the same weight loss opportunities as those without disabilities, calling on more to be done to help disadvantaged people.And what about promoting a healthier lifestyle at work? Workplace mental health groups such as Sanctus are starting to play an increasingly important role in ensuring employees have a space where they can talk about worries and concerns that may lead to actions like comfort eating. So is there room for businesses to invest in more holistic wellbeing and fitness services to further promote a healthier lifestyle at work? A business already dipping its toes into the health and wellbeing sector is Heather Wellbeing, a Startups 100 company which balances the personal, the technical, and the holistic when it comes to mental health support.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) owing to their very open characteristics are being very attractive and adaptive. With the openness comes security issues to be dealt. The most usual attack in mobile ad-hoc network is the black-hole attack. It advertises false path as shortest and newest to the destined node. On gathering packets containing data will drop them and does not send it to the destination. This paper proposes an algorithm to overcome such an attack under Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol in MANETs. The proposal aims to detect and avoid black-hole attack by using the parameters of AODV routing protocol in its enhanced form of route recovery. The proposed algorithm has two different scenarios, where first comes the detection then the avoidance. The simulation results are obtained from NS -2 to authenticate the effectiveness of proposed technique in comparison with the existing protocols in the existence of black-hole attack with respect to change in simulation end time and active number of attackers. The implementation is assessed based on delay, delivery ratio, drop, overhead, throughput and packet forwarding ratio. The results obtained from network simulator are mapped to form a dataset, which is then validated on a modelled fuzzy inference system using MatLab software.

Washington State University's newest farm, named for R. James Cook, was launched as a long-term direct-seed cropping systems research program by a team of WSU and USDA-ARS scientists in 2000.
The goals of the farm are to:
- Play a leadership role through research, education and demonstration in helping growers in the high-precipitation areas of the Inland Northwest make the transition agronomically and economically to continuous direct-seeding (no-till farming) of land that has been tilled since farming began near the end of the 19th century.
- Provide databases and understanding of the variable soil characteristics, pest pressures, and historic crop yield and quality attributes over a typical Palouse landscape as the foundation for the adoption and perfection of precision-agriculture technology in this region.
The farm is managed with continuous direct seeding techniques with commercial-scale equipment. Research is focused on developing direct seed cropping systems and precision-agriculture technologies for a "typical" eastern Palouse landscape where annual cropping is typically practiced. Guided by an Advisory Committee comprised of a diverse constituency, the research conducted at the Agronomy Farm will strive to develop new guiding principles and practices fundamental to reducing risks, increasing profits, conserving soil and other natural resources and improving environmental quality. The results will serve some 2.6 million acres in Washington and 1 million acres in Idaho, representing the higher-precipitation areas.

Exhibition: Mary Doesn't Just Wear Blue
Eleven international artists re-imagine the Virgin Mary as a cultural icon beyond religion. What kind of woman do they show? How does Mary's image adapt to current times?
The Virgin Mary is one of the greatest icons of Western art history. Today, her image has gone beyond religion, and Mary is found in t-shirts, comic books, and even underpants. Through the work of eleven international artists, this exhibition invites us to explore how Mary can take shape as a non-religious icon, and how her image adapts to current ideas of femininity and womanhood.
This is part of an Arts-Based PhD project and it opens a window to ongoing interdisciplinary research, and for those who are interested, it offers the opportunity to participate in it.

The main idea at the base of ESILARANTE project is to characterize and develop a portable sensor platform for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) detection based on laccase biosensors produced through the green, low-cost and environment-friendly ElectroSpray Deposition (ESD) technique. The commercialization of such a platform will push the use of biosensors for forensic analysis and on-road detection beyond the current state of the art.
In the biosensor manufacturing process, the enzyme immobilization strategy is a key factor to develop an efficient device with adequate performance in terms of reuse and storage. Recently, researchers from the MDA group at CNR-ISM produced new promising amperometric laccase-based biosensors with unprecedented reuse and storage capabilities using the ambient ESD methodology as immobilization technique. Therefore, the first goal of ESILARANTE is to achieve a molecular-level understanding of these new biosensors, the reason behind their excellent stability and reuse performance using different spectroscopies, microscopies and analytical techniques. This would allow to make a step forward in the development of new green and renewable systems to reduce pollution, which is at the core of some pillars of the Horizon Europe program and of strong relevance in the NextGenerationEU agenda.
The second goal is to apply laccase-based biosensors for the development of a portable and cost-effective platform for the detection of THC in capillary blood samples. While cannabinoid sensing protocols are well established in lab techniques, miniaturized and portable sensors are still not well developed.
Electrochemical devices promise to reduce greatly the analysis time per sample and to lower dramatically the costs while allowing sensitivity and miniaturization.

Abstract:
Biomedical properties of hydrogen water have been extensively investigated, but the effect of hydrogen on good healthy subjects remains unclear. This study was designed to explore the hygiene improvement by electrolytically generated hydrogen warm water (40°C) on capillary blood streams, skin moisture, and keratin plugs in skin pores in normal good healthy subjects with their informed consents. Fingertip-capillary blood stream was estimated after hand-immersing in hydrogen warm water by videography using a CCD-based microscope, and the blood flow levels increased to about 120% versus normal warm water, after 60 minutes of the hand-immersing termination. Skin moisture of subjects was assessed using an electro-conductivity-based skin moisture meter. Immediately after taking a bath filled with hydrogen warm water, the skin moisture increased by 5-10% as compared to before bathing, which was kept on for the 7-day test, but indistinct, because of lower solubility of hydrogen in 'warm' water than in room-temperature water. Cleansing of keratin plugs in skin-pores was assessed by stereoscopic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. After hydrogen warm water bathing, the numbers of cleansed keratin plugs also increased on cheek of subjects 2.30- to 4.47-fold as many as the control for normal warm water. And areas of cleansed keratin plugs in the cheeks increased about 1.3-fold as much as the control. More marked improvements were observed on cheeks than on nostrils. Hydrogen warm water may thoroughly cleanse even keratin-plugs of residual amounts that could not be cleansed by normal warm water, through its permeability into wide-ranged portions of hair-pores, and promote the fingertip blood streams more markedly than merely through warmness due to normal warm water.

IEEE floating-point special values
GHC.Real defines infinity and notANumber as Rational. We export variants which are polymorphic because that can be more helpful at times.
BUG: At present these constants are broken for Ratio types including Rational, since Ratio types do not typically permit a zero denominator. In GHC (6.8.2) the result for infinity is a rational with a numerator sufficiently large that fromRational will yield infinity for Float and Double. In Hugs (September 2006) it yields an arithmetic overflow error. For GHC, our notANumber yields 0%1 rather than 0%0 as GHC.Real does.

log :: Floating a => a -> aSource
Since the normal log throws an error on zero, we have to redefine it in order for things to work right. Arguing from limits it's obvious that log 0 == negativeInfinity.
If you're using some Floating type that's not built in, verify this equation holds for your 0 and negativeInfinity. If it doesn't, then you should avoid importing our log and will probably want converters to handle the discrepency.

You know that the title of the book is The Golden Compass, but let's not forget that it's also the first book in the series called His Dark Materials.
The golden compass, also known as an "alethiometer," is a gadget given to Lyra by the Master of Jordan College at Oxford. The device is powered by Dust and can be used to gain insight into any number of questions. As Farder Coram tells us in Chapter 7, "aletheia" is Greek for "truth," so "alethiometer" means "truth measure" (7.118). It's a bit ironic that the designated keeper of this particular alethiometer is Lyra, who is known for telling whoppers.
Why title the book The Golden Compass? Maybe it's because Lyra's growing skill with this instrument of the divine proves to the reader that there's something very special about her – and it allows her to harness a power of her own.
The titles of the other two books in the trilogy also feature objects: The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.
P.S. The original title for this book is Northern Lights. Actually, it's only published as The Golden Compass in North America. The original title shifts the focus away from the alethiometer and toward the scene under the northern lights where Lord Asriel creates a bridge to another world. Which title do you like better?
The phrase "His Dark Materials" is a line from Book II of Milton's Paradise Lost, which you can read all about on Shmoop. For more on the phrase "His Dark Materials," zip over to our section on the novel's epigraph, which contains the phrase.
In The Golden Compass, those "Dark Materials" presumably refer to Dust, which – as Lord Asriel tells us in Chapter 21 – the Church interprets as evidence of original sin. For more on that topic, head over to "Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory: Dust (and Original Sin)."

Abstract:While Ugandans are just beginning to consider their ancient cultural heritage - which is far older than any European country - and its value, the cultural resources attesting to this heritage are being destroyed before they are even recorded. The author first presents the results of recent archaeological research in Buganda, where oral and archaeological surveys were conducted from 2000 onward. The evidence, including the recovery of Urewe pottery, suggests a long-term (500 BC-AD 1000) and widespread tradition of agriculture. The research also reveals that moves toward specialization of production, coinciding with the replacement of Urewe pottery by roulette decorated pottery, took place around AD 1000, thus predating the Buganda Kingdom. Finally, the fact that numerous iron-smelting sites were discovered indicates a previously unrecorded and unnoticed precolonial technology, distinct from other smelting sites in the Great Lakes, which continued into the 20th century. The author extrapolates that up to 99 percent of Uganda's archaeological resources are undiscovered, most of them lying buried beneath the ground. In conclusion, the author expresses his concern about Uganda's heritage legislation, which fails to protect these resources. Bibliogr. [ASC Leiden abstract]

Interactions Between Ants and Larvae of the HostManipulating Parasite, Dicrocoelium Dendriticum
University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Arts and Science
Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Dept. of Biological Sciences
Many parasites manipulate their host's behaviour to facilitate their own transmission. The phenomenon is complex, requiring multi-disciplinary approaches. I evaluated host decision making and utilized modern imaging techniques to understand how larvae of the fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, can so radically alter the behaviour of their ant, Formica aserva, hosts. My results showed that infected ants make decisions regarding substrate that uninfected hosts never make. They preferentially attached with their mandibles to flower blossoms that were familiar to them and they preferred flowers that contained attached nestmates. Site-selection by larva occurred within the ventral-anterior-most region of the sub-esophageal ganglion of the ant brain, proximal to the control centres that regulate the action of the mandibles, feeding behaviours, and temperature sensing. My results provide the key foundation for further studies designed to determine whether the complex manipulation of ant behaviour requires direct physical and/or neurochemical modulation by the brain worm.

With more clients converting from metal to advanced materials, Alpine has answered the call with HX5® billets in various sizes that can be machined just like metal without the expensive outlay of creating an injection mold. Traditionally, designers wanting to convert from metal have been hesitant to pursue new material options, especially when injection molding is involved. While cost effective for production, injection molds aren't efficient for prototyping and are only viable after a design is finalized. And because manufacturers lack the experience of converting from metal to advanced materials like Alpine's flagship HX5, they may not fully understand the opportunities for design improvement, such as part consolidation. Alpine expects billet manufacturing will cut costs, timelines, and uncertainties, inspiring more clients to embrace the environmental and operational benefits of lightweight parts and components by using advanced materials. "Converting parts from metal creates weight savings that presents one of the greatest opportunities to make actual cuts in emissions, we're not talking carbon credit offsets here," said Roger Raley, president of Alpine Advanced Materials. "The great majority of emissions are generated through the ongoing operation of heavy industries like aerospace that can be easily addressed by cutting weight. Further, the beauty of lightweighting is that it also increases performance, meaning the costs of conversion are quickly recuperated, whether it be through reduced fuel usage, increased payloads, or extended range. Using our new billet manufacturing to prototype means we can affordably and accurately help our clients realistically pursue conversion from metals." With shortages becoming more apparent in supply chains due to global interruptions in shipping and demand supply, the discussion about converting to more reliably sourced materials is also timelier than ever. HX5, a lightweight aviation-grade thermoplastic nanocomposite, was engineered to replace machined aerospace-grade aluminum at half the weight. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, environmental resistance, and manufacturing flexibility, it can be injection molded, formed, extruded, or machined like aluminum. When price and availability of materials proves unreliable and unstable, it is imperative for manufacturers to ensure that the materials parts are made of are both readily available and can be affordably sourced. Domestically produced advanced materials like HX5 are not only predictable and advantageous for supply chains, but also allow for more complex but strong shapes. These more carefully thought out components can be readily manufactured and mass-produced in weeks versus the months typically needed for machined metal parts. "We cut our teeth working with advanced materials like HX5, a material developed by Lockheed Martin Skunks Works® to be the highest performing, most versatile thermoplastic out there," added Raley. "With over a decade of test data to support it, HX5 is one of the most highly characterized materials available. We know how HX5 performs through moldflow and finite elemental analysis, and have become unparalleled experts in designing better parts, and better parts start with better prototypes." # # # About Alpine Advanced Materials Alpine Advanced Materials is a leading expert in the design and manufacture of custom-engineered parts and products for the world's most demanding aerospace, defense, energy, space, and outdoor applications. The company commercializes high-performance materials originally developed and qualified by top defense contractors, including its flagship HX5™ military aviation-grade thermoplastic nanocomposite. Engineered to replace machined aluminum, HX5 is half the weight and has been both tested and proven against the harshest environments in the world. HX5 is currently in use on jet fighters, high-speed helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, amphibious transport vehicles, rockets, and satellites, and is highly adaptable without sacrificing strength or performance. Its customization and unrivaled manufacturability here in the U.S. combined with its high tolerance and dimensional stability make it an ideal alternative to the cost and production challenges associated with aluminum.

Streamline Chub (Erimystax dissimilis)
The Streamline Chub is found in several disjunct populations in the Ohio River Drainage from Alabama to New York, including the Tennessee and Cumberland river drainages. They are found in riffles and runs of large streams and rivers over rock and gravel bottoms. As the common name suggests, Streamline Chubs have a "streamline" body shape that is long and slender to help maintain their position in swift water. They are disappearing throughout their range due to reservoir construction and siltation.

How to Draw a Dingo - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Draw the head by making a narrow heart-shape and then adding a gap on the right side, bumps for a nose and mouth, and a straight line in between the ears.
Step 2: Add lines to define the ears, tiny ovals for the eyes, and a circle with dots for the nose. For the mouth, add a line for the top of the mouth and then have a half-oval come down for the tongue.
Step 3: Draw the body with a diagonal line for the neck and a mostly horizontal line on top for the back.
Step 4: Draw the front leg by making two lines that meet by the foot facing left. Add lines for toes.
Step 5: Draw the bottom half of the body, curving upward before drawing the hind leg with the foot pointed directly downward.
Step 6: Draw the other front leg a lot like the first front leg, except that the foot should be facing to the right to make the Dingo look like its walking.
Step 7: Draw the other hind leg where the large upward curve is in the bottom of the body, and have it face the same way as the front forward leg.
Step 8: Draw the tail by continuing off the back and closing the gap, ending in a point. Your Dingo is now done!
Interesting Facts about Dingoes
Dingoes are wild dogs. Scientists believe that they are descendants of domesticated dogs that were brought to Australia at least 5000 years ago. Dingoes are no longer kept as pets. They live all over Australia, except on the island state of Tasmania.
Did you know?
- Dingoes live for about 7 to 15 years.
- Dingoes, on average, weigh between 28 and 45 pounds. The average height of dingoes is 19 to 23 inches.
- Dingoes do not bark – they howl.
- Dingoes eat plants, fruits, reptiles, birds, and a variety of mammals.
- Dingoes dwell in forests, grasslands, and the outskirts of desert habitats.
- Dingoes live in groups called packs. On average, there are 10 dingoes in a pack.
- Depending on the part of Australia in which they live, some dingoes are active at night while others are active during the day.
- Dingo fur comes in a wide range of colors: tan, grey, red, yellow, brown, and black.
Dingoes are the largest land animals in Australia. Therefore, they do not have any natural predators, except for crocodiles. Humans are the biggest threat to their survival. Dingoes are considered vulnerable to extinction because of deforestation caused by humans. Deforestation is when people remove massive amounts of forest area to build roads, buildings, and other structures.

Now here are the things you'll need to make the bracelet.
Now here are the steps to make the bracelet!!!!
1. Cut a long strand of string and split it in half to make a loop and hook it on a safety pin and then connect the safety pin to a sturdy surface so when you pull the string, it won't loosen (as you can see, I used my carpet).
2. Take string #1 and put in over string #2 and then circle string #1 back around to put it under string #2. Then give string #1 a pull and that should make a knot.
3. Then you do the same thing with string #1 except instead of going over then under, you go under then over. Then give string #1 a pull and that should make a knot.
4. Now its time for my favorite part!! Adding the beads!!! So this is so easy, you just repeat steps 2 and 3 except now you have a bead.
5. Keeping adding beads by repeating steps 2-4 and you'll have a cute bracelet in no time!!!

1) Divorce: abandonment is grounds for divorce in most states. Grounds arise when one spouse physically leaves the other with no intent on returning. Usually, the minimum time allowed to claim abandonment is one year, but it changes from state to state. Some states also recognize constructive abandonment where one spouse refuses to financially support the other and/or engage in sexual intercourse without good reason.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
To intentionally and permanently give up, surrender, leave, desert, or relinquish all interest, obligations, or ownership in a house, apartment, or other property (such as a patent), a right of way, or a spouse or children. The word is often used when a tenant has left his or her rental unit and the property inside and does not intend to come back. State landlord-tenant laws typically regulate how the landlord may deal with abandoned property left behind by the tenant. To abandon a child or spouse means to have no contact and give no support for an extended period of time.

Types of Explosions
Any explosion that is the direct result of using a weapon; such as a sword laden with explosive magics, or a gun that's been given explosive bullets. The most obvious example is a grenade or a block of TNT. Most guns can be put into this category, given the common firearm mechanism of propelling a bullet out of the gun's barrel through an explosion in the chamber.
A larger scale example would be the atomic bomb that a player can detonate on the town of Megaton in Fallout 3.
Think Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior for magic-based explosions in games. Spells such as "Flare" in Final Fantasy and "Explodet" in Dragon Warrior are good examples.
In other games, a character may motion with their hand to create a fireball or a beam of powerful light, which will explode upon impact. In Oblivion, the magic-wielding player motions forward with his/her arm and points to create a fireball, which then hurdles through the air, exploding upon any solid surface.
Magical "summonings" also create magical explosions, such as Bahamut's attack in most Final Fantasy games.
These explosions emanate from the world around the player. They can activate on their own, or be triggered by the player's actions. Classics, such as the exploding barrel and fuel tank are often large and loud explosions - and in some environments, they can connect with other exploding objects to create a chain-reaction.
This also contains objects such as vehicles, booby traps, and mines. This type of explosion can be very important to some games, as explosive environmental objects are often part of objectives or checkpoints in a game.
These explosions are the result of any living thing that is able to explode. A simple example of this would be any kamikaze enemy in a game that's willing to run up to a player and detonate themselves.

Yellow-rumped caciques (Cacicus cela) are widespread across northern South America. They can be found east of the Andes Mountains throughout the Amazon Basin. Yellow-rumped caciques are more numerous in the tropics than in temperate regions although some have been spotted along the southern border of Bolivia which is considered to be the southern (more temperate) extent of their range. They inhabit all northern countries of South America and extend east throughout the upper half of Brazil. They are native to the Amazon and have not been introduced into any other regions.

Bira dam was constructed in Bati district in 1986 through the aid of International Red Cross Association for food security purpose. The study was conducted from January to September 2013. The objective of the study was to assess physico-chemical parameters of Bira dam. Current total area, average depth of the reservoir were measured using GPS and rope respectively, physico-chemical parameters were taken monthly from January to September 2013 from three sites. Digital Multimetres were used to measure pH, Temperature, conductivity and Turbidity value. SPSS Version 16 was used to analyze the collected data. Univarate test was used to test the physico-chemical parameters difference among sites and months. The mean value of pH, Temperature, Turbidity and conductivity 7.02, 24.11°C, 24.60 NTU and 399.00 µS/cm respectively. There was no significant difference in all physico-chemical parameters among sites (P>0.05). There was significant difference in water Temperature, Turbidity and conductivity by month (P<0.05). The current total area of the dam is 18 hectare which was 42 hectare when the dam was constructed; the depth also reduces from 20 to 4.33 m. Since the watershed of the dam is highly degraded, the dam will be totally dried if the situation continues. The turbidity value of Bira dam was higher than most studied dams in Ethiopia, therefore watershed of the dam should be properly managed though full participation of dam users.

Johnny Cash
John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author who was considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country icon, his songs and sound spanned other genres including rock and roll and rockabilly —especially early in his career—and blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of induction in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Cash was known for his deep, distinctive bass-baritone voice, for the "boom-chicka-boom" sound of his Tennessee Three backing band; for a rebelliousness, coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor; for providing free concerts inside prison walls;]page needed[ and for his dark performance clothing, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". He traditionally began his concerts with the phrase "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.", followed by his standard "Folsom Prison Blues".
Country music
Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in the rural regions of the Southern United States in the 1920s. It takes its roots from the southeastern genre of American folk music and Western music. Blues modes have been used extensively throughout its recorded history. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas.
The Grammy Legend Award, or the Grammy Living Legend Award, is a special award of merit given to recording artists by the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States for outstanding achievements in the music industry.
The first Grammy Legend Awards were issued in 1990 to Andrew Lloyd Webber, Liza Minnelli, Smokey Robinson and Willie Nelson. The honor was inaugurated to recognize "ongoing contributions and influence in the recording field". The next year four more musicians (Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, Johnny Cash and Quincy Jones) were acknowledged with Grammy Legend Awards. The award was given to Barbra Streisand in 1992 and Michael Jackson in 1993.

Valerie June Carter Cash (June 23, 1929 – May 15, 2003) was an American singer, dancer, songwriter, actress, comedian and author who was a member of the Carter Family and the second wife of singer Johnny Cash. She played the guitar, banjo, harmonica and autoharp, and acted in several films and television shows. Carter Cash was inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame in 2009. She was ranked No. 31 in CMT's 40 Greatest Women in Country Music in 2002.
Johnny Horton
John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 – November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably in 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and in 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". His first hit, a number #1 was in 1959, with When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)
During 1960, Horton had two other successes with "North to Alaska" for John Wayne's movie, North to Alaska, and "Sink the Bismarck". Horton is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame
