This paper presents a new analytic model for the estimation of the trapping efficiency of two-stroke engines using an extremely reduced number of measured physical variables. Mainly, the model estimates the trapping efficiency according to the Ostwald diagram, to the molal concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen at tailpipe and accordingto the mass flow of air and fuel. In order to provide a measure of effectiveness for the proposed model, a use case has been chosen. The model's effectiveness has been evaluated comparing its outcomes with the results obtained by thermo-fluid dynamic simulation of the use case on a 0D-1D commercial code, whose scavenging model has been previously validated by an extensive experimental activity. The present study shows that, for all the cases considered, the model results differ no more than 11% in absolute value from the simulated ones. In brief, the accuracy of the model allows the estimation of the trapping efficiency for two-stroke engines with reasonable confidence, reduced computational effort and time and costs lower than the currently available techniques.

Four Protectors Of Hanoi
Four Protectors Of Hanoi
Four Protectors Of Hanoi
Table of contentHide All
 Thang Long Hanoi, a city of thousands of year, has a solid and rich historical background and is believed to be protected by four genies.
 Each embodies a story with its own historical, cultural and architectural values, also showing Vietnamese people's worshiping tradition of thousands of years in hundreds of sacred places along the country.Selected as the capital since 1010, Thang Long, or Hanoi today, has stood the test of time beautifully and peacefully for centuries. Its secret relies on the four sacred protectors. They are actually worshiped at four well-known temples in the city.
 Protector of the East: Bach Ma Temple
 Legend has it that in 1010, when the capital was moved from Hoa Lu (Ninh Binh province) to Thang Long, King Ly Thai To (_PHONE_) decided to build a citadel to prevent the invaders.
 However, every time the construction completed, it collapsed. The king was advised to make offerings at a temple dedicated to a genie named Long Do, the tutelary god of the place.
 One night, the genie came to the king in a dream and told him to follow the footsteps of a horse to build the citadel. Then the king saw a white horse galloping out from the temple and then disappeared. The next day, the king ordered the troops to build the citadel following the horse footsteps. Since then, the citadel stood firmly.
 To show the gratefulness to the genie, the king ordered a sculpture of a white horse in the temple for worshiping and conferred it the title of 'Thang Long tutelary god' and named the temple as Bach Ma, which literally means white horse.
 Many restorations have been made and the temple now has typical 19th century architecture. It features a wooden frame and large columns in the main building with three-door gate, a place for burning incense, forbidden chamber and sophisticated effigies. It still keeps lots of old valuable relics such as stone steles, palanquin, cranes and pairs of earthen statues for worshiping.
 Every year, to honor the genie, the People's Committee of the district where the temple is located organizes Bach Ma temple festival on lunar February 12 and 13. The event includes many offerings and cultural activities like ceremonial songs, Vietnamese popular opera, poem recitation and fencing.
 Located in Hoan Kiem central district, Bach Ma Temple is easy for tourists to reach by foot.
 Protector of the North: Quan Thanh Temple
 Quan Thanh Temple, also known as Tran Vu Temple, was also built in 1010, under the Ly Dynasty with the purpose of worshiping Tran Vu genie, who trained the heaven squad of guards, controlled the North and was believed to help Hung Kings (regarded as the founders of the nation) expel invaders and assist the people in the fight against evil ghosts and natural disasters. This is typical of the tradition of worshiping the genies who have the magic power to build the nation.
 By Truc Bach Lake, Quan Thanh Temple is famous for its architecture of the 17th century. It includes three gates, temple yard and the three main buildings of front hall, annex and back halls.
 Inside Quan Thanh Temple, there is a four-meter height black copper statue of Tran Vu Genie holding a sword on the back of a turtle which reflects strength and longevity. The statue was built in 1677 to show the respect of local people to the genie and the unique representation of the artistic creation of the period.
 Besides the statue, the temple is also famous for its wood works such as dragons, phoenix, bats; some kinds of beautiful flowers that show the uniqueness of the art under the Le dynasty in 16th century and Taoism.
 Protector of the West: Voi Phuc Temple
 Built in a muddy lagoon in 1065, the temple stands now on a high mound south of the Thu Le Zoo, with a nice view to a large beautiful lake and surrounded by gardens and many luxuriant ancient trees.
 Voi Phuc Temple is dedicated to Prince Hoang Chan, also known as Linh Lang Dai Vuong, the son of King Ly Thai Tong (1000–1054). Legend has it that the king was growing old but had no son. One day, one of his wives was bathing in Dam Dam Lake (West Lake now), a dragon suddenly appeared and showered her before disappearing.
 After a few days, she got pregnant. Fourteen months later, she gave birth to a boy who was named Ling Lang (small dragon) for the black moles twinkling like dragon scales on his body.
 When he was about two months old and at his mother's native land in Thu Le Camp, foreign invaders came to the country. The King called on talented people to fight the enemy. When the royal emissary came to Thu Le Camp, Ling Lang suddenly spoke and told his mother that he needed to help his father.
 Then the little prince grew up to be an adult and asked the King to send him a red flag, a long spear and an elephant for fighting. When he met the elephant and shouted, it kneeled down in front of him. The prince took the flag, rode the elephant and led an army to the battle.
 After the victory, the prince returned to Thu Le and said that he was a genie sent from heaven to help the King defeat the invaders and now he had to be back to the celestial kingdom. He then magically transformed into a serpent and slithered into Dam Dam Lake.
 The King bestowed the title His Royal Highness on him and built the temple to honor him. In front of the temple are two kneeling elephants, hence the name Voi Phuc of the temple called by the residents.
 The temple was heavily damaged under the French colonialism. From 1953 to date, it has been renovated several times. Its architecture still consists of the one of the 19-20th century of the feng shui representing vitality from heaven to earth. Inside, there is a squared-shape well as symbol for the abundant water and prosperity and a couple of wood dragons and tigers.
 Besides two elephants kneeling in front of the temple, there is also a collection of cultural artifacts including a throne, bronze temple bells, sedan chairs, ancestral tablets, sculptures of sacred cranes and horses, and valuable objects. Inscriptions in ancient scripts conserved in the temple are filled with many stories of the gods, particularly the tutelary god.
 Every year, to commemorate the merits of Linh Lang Genie, Voi Phuc Temple Festival is held on the 9th to the 11th day of the second lunar month. This is a grand procession festival with flags, fans, gongs, drums, parasols, bat am (cantanets) musical band and some group dancing.
 Protector of the South: Kim Lien Temple
 The youngest protector of the city, built in 1509, is located in Kim Lien village, Dong Da district, to honor Cao Son Dai Vuong, one of the sons of Lac Long Quan and Au Co, the legendary creators of Vietnamese people.
 Together with 49 other brothers and sisters, Cao Son followed father Lac Long Quan to the mountain to settle in the land while the 50 others went with mother Au Co to the sea.
 He is believed to help Son Tinh, the Genie of the Mountain defeat Thuy Tinh, the Genie of the Water in a famous myth of devastating deluge representing the victory of Vietnamese people over the natural disasters in the early days.
 Later in the 16th century, King Le Tuong Duc (_PHONE_) successfully quelled the rebellions in the country. Before fighting them, he prayed Cao Son for a holly support. After the victory and regained the power for Le House, he built the temple to honor him.
 The temple was also destroyed during the wars, however, the important relic of an over-two-meter height stele with a poem honoring Cao Son stood still in a small chamber under an old banyan tree.
 On a high hill, the temple consists of two separate parts: the arched gate and the main structure on the hill itself. This was similar to the construction of the Kinh Thien Palace in the Thang Long Imperial Citadel. In front of the yard is a gate with two square bronze pillars near a small spring. This was thought as the meeting-point of water and happiness.
 The entrance gate is a three compartment chamber with lively decorative details such as phoenixes keeping books in their beaks, clouds and a unicorn. It also conserved 39 imperial edicts of Le and Nguyen dynasties conferred to Cao Son and several parallel sentences.

In recent decades, 'the Holocaust' has become a freefloating symbolic signifier that can be applied to a variety of subjects regardless of their (dis)similarity to the Nazi persecution of European Jewry. This means that, while the ostensible purpose of Holocaust commemoration is to honour the dead, a community's decision to remember the Holocaust is compelled by a variety of interests. In 2011, the federal government of Canada announced that it would construct its own national memorial to the Holocaust – the National Holocaust Monument (NHM) – thereby raising the question of what interests have provoked this memorial. In the present study, I analyse the discourse surrounding this memorial to understand some of the primary motivations underlying the NHM. After establishing a theoretical framework for the study of Holocaust memorials, I discuss two major themes that have emerged from the discourse: the ethical and the global. Both themes frame the monument as an embodiment of 'Canadian' values, but each does so for a different audience; in one instance the NHM acts as a mirror that reflects Canadian values towards Canadians, while the other is a beacon that projects these values to global society. Based on these related functions, I argue that Holocaust memory and the NHM are being used to broadcast Canadian values in multiple directions in an attempt to shape the nation's domestic and international identities.

When Subject Matter Is Matter Itself
Xu Bing's remarkable "1st Class" installation is made out entirely of 500,000 cigarette butts.

The seductively sweet scent of thousands of cigarettes; the sublimity of a wave suspended in time; the sweaty surface of someone's insides; the softness of light seeping through the crystalline viscera of the sick; the supple silkiness of being subdued; and the strange, still silence of cement.
These are among the experiences evoked by the 48 works in The Allure of Matter: Material Art from China, currently on view at both the Smart Museum and Wrightwood 659. Taking contemporary Chinese art as a case study, co-curators UChicago art history professor Wu Hung and Smart Museum curator Orianna Cacchione posit the term "material art," or caizhi yishu, to demarcate a new art historical category "in which material, rather than image or style, is paramount in manifesting the artist's aesthetic judgement or social critique," according to Wu's introductory essay in the exhibition catalog.
Sauntering through a selection of works that prioritizes the primacy of material is a decidedly sensory experience. The experience is olfactory, as in Xu Bing's "1st Class"—an enormous tiger skin rug composed of 500,000 1st Class cigarettes, made as part of his Tobacco Project. It is haptic, as in Ma Qiusha's "Wonderland: Black Square," in which the shards of a shattered slab of concrete are delicately ensconced in stockings and reassembled. It is ephemeral, as in Song Dong's interactive installation, "Traceless Stele," on which viewers are invited to paint with water and watch their markings evaporate. It is visceral, as in Sun Yuan and Peng Yu's "Civilization Pillar," a testament to 21st-century overconsumption, sculpted with human fat. It is also somewhat humbling, with many of the works looming large—even monumental.
Spot the column of fat!
C.J. Lind
As a show that challenges viewers to hone their awareness of materiality, The Allure of Matter offers drastically different—though still coherent—experiences at its two venues. In contrast to the off-white walls, floors, and ceiling of the Smart Museum, the Tadao Ando–designed Wrightwood 659 is a compelling composite of concrete, brick, and wood. The variegated textures and unique forms of its interiors interact with the works on display with much more complexity than they do at the Smart. Hu Xiaoyuan's Ant Bone series, for one, finds an ebbing resonance in the wooden floors and the curvature of the ceiling at Wrightwood. Additionally, whereas the Smart comprises only one floor, the works at Wrightwood stretch across four stories. The spiraling ascent creates a more directional form of exhibition flow than the Smart's more level, elliptical path.
Material art offers an alternative framework through which to trace phenomena in Chinese art since the '80s, which has been overshadowed by more commercially successful trends. Following the end of the Cultural Revolution, clusters of artists, critics, and curators sought to spearhead a modernization effort based on Western cultural models as part of the '85 Art New Wave movement. However, their scholarship did not focus as much on the kinds of unconventional materials featured in this exhibition. The term also puts pressure on the Eurocentric tendencies of art history as a discipline to project Western concepts and categories into contexts where they do not necessarily fit. Additionally, the show resists art-historical conventions that privilege the form of an artwork over its material, putting forward an object-based analytical approach that highlights the sociocultural, political, and historical meanings embedded in materials themselves, as well as the collective labors often implicated in their transformation into art.
Despite the show's geocultural focus, material art is not inherently Chinese, but rather a porous concept susceptible to application to other parts of the world. The Allure of Matter rewrites simplistic and sometimes negligent canonical narratives of contemporary Chinese art into a more nuanced history.

treelayout
Lay out tree or forest
Syntax
[x,y] = treelayout(parent,post)
[x,y,h,s] = treelayout(parent,post)
Description
[x,y] = treelayout(parent,post) lays out a tree or a forest. parent is the vector of parent pointers, with 0 for a root. post is an optional postorder permutation on the tree nodes. If you omit post, treelayout computes it. x and y are vectors of coordinates in the unit square at which to lay out the nodes of the tree to make a nice picture.
[x,y,h,s] = treelayout(parent,post) also returns the height of the tree h and the number of vertices s in the top-level separator.

How to: Create a Load Test Plug-In
You can create a load test plug-in to run code at different times while the load test is running. You create a plug-in to expand upon or modify the built in functionality of the load test. For example, you can code a load test plug-in to set or modify the load test pattern while the load test is running. To do this, you must create a class that inherits the ILoadTestPlugin interface. This class must implement the Initialize method of this interface. For more information, see ILoadTestPlugin.
Note Note
You can also create plug-ins for Web performance tests. For more information, see How to: Create a Web Performance Test Plug-In
Requirements
 - Visual Studio Ultimate
To create a Load Test Plug-in by using Visual C#
 1. Open a Web performance and load test project that contains a Web performance test.
 For more information, see How to: Create and Configure Test Projects for Automated Tests.
 2. Add a load test to the test project and configure it to run a Web performance test.
 For more information, see [retired] Creating load tests.
 3. In Solution Explorer, right-click on the solution and select Add and then choose New Project.
 The Add New Project dialog box is displayed.
 4. Under Installed Templates, select Visual C#.
 5. In the list of templates, select Class Library.
 6. In the Name text box, type a name for your class.
 7. Choose OK.
 8. The new class library project is added to Solution Explorer and the new class appears in the Code Editor.
 9. In Solution Explorer, right-click the References folder in the new class library and select Add Reference.
 10. The Add Reference dialog box is displayed.
 11. Choose the .NET tab, scroll down, and then select Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.LoadTestFramework.
 12. Choose OK.
 The reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.LoadTestFramework is added to the Reference folder in Solution Explorer.
 13. In Solution Explorer, right-click the top node of the Web performance and load test project that contains the load test to which you want to add the load test plug-in and select Add Reference.
 14. The Add Reference dialog box is displayed.
 15. Choose the Projects tab and select the Class Library Project.
 16. Choose OK.
 17. In the Code Editor, add a using statement for the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting namespace.
 18. Implement the ILoadTestPlugin interface for the class that was created in the Class Library project. See the following Example section for a sample implementation.
 19. After you have written the code, build the new project.
 20. Right-click on the top node of the load test and then choose Add Load Test Plug-in.
 The Add Load Test Plug-in dialog box is displayed.
 21. Under Select a plug-in, select your load test plug-in class.
 22. In the Properties for selected plug-in pane, set the initial values for the plug-in to use at run time.
 Note Note
 You can expose as many properties as you want from your plug-ins; just make them public, settable, and of a base type such as Integer, Boolean, or String. You can also change the Web performance test plug-in properties later by using the Properties window.
 23. Choose OK.
 The plug-in is added to the Load Test Plug-ins folder.
 Caution note Caution
 You might get an error similar to the following when you run a Web performance test or load test that uses your plug-in:
 Request failed: Exception in <plug-in> event: Could not load file or assembly '<"Plug-in name".dll file>, Version=<n.n.n.n>, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
 This is caused if you make code changes to any of your plug-ins and create a new DLL version (Version=0.0.0.0), but the plug-in is still referencing the original plug-in version. To correct this problem, follow these steps:
 1. In your Web performance and load test project, you will see a warning in references. Remove and re-add the reference to your plug-in DLL.
 2. Remove the plug-in from your test or the appropriate location and then add it back.
The following code shows a load test plug-in that runs custom code after a LoadTestFinished event occurs. If this code is run on a test agent on a remote machine and the test agent does not have a localhost SMTP service, the load test will remain in the "In progress" state because a message box will be open.
Note Note
The following code requires that you add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.
using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace LoadTestPluginTest
{
 public class MyLoadTestPlugin : ILoadTestPlugin
 {
 LoadTest myLoadTest;
 public void Initialize(LoadTest loadTest)
 {
 myLoadTest = loadTest;
 myLoadTest.LoadTestFinished += new
 EventHandler(myLoadTest_LoadTestFinished);
 }
 void myLoadTest_LoadTestFinished(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
 try
 {
 // place custom code here
 MailAddress MyAddress = new MailAddress("_EMAIL_");
 MailMessage MyMail = new MailMessage(MyAddress, MyAddress);
 MyMail.Subject = "Load Test Finished -- Admin Email";
 MyMail.Body = myLoadTest..Name + " has finished.";
 SmtpClient MySmtpClient = new SmtpClient("localhost");
 MySmtpClient.Send(MyMail);
 }
 catch (SmtpException ex)
 {
 MessageBox.Show(ex.InnerException.Message +
 ".\r\nMake sure you have a valid SMTP.", "LoadTestPlugin", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1);
 }
 }
 }
}
Eight events are associated with a load test that can be handled in the load test plug-in to run custom code with the load test. The following is a list of the events that provide access to different periods of the load test run:

Leveraging Remote Patient Monitoring to Manage Chronic Disease
Session Description: Mississippi understands the challenges and costs of a patient population with chronic diseases. The University of Mississippi Medical Center's (UMMC) Center for Telehealth has a mission to bridge the gaps in the healthcare delivery system in order to improve the health of all Mississippians. Telehealth is able to connect rural residents to the specialists at the larger tertiary centers in the state, thus increasing access. In August 2014, the UMMC Center for Telehealth launched The Mississippi Diabetes Telehealth Network to pilot an advanced healthcare model on patients with uncontrolled diabetes living in the Mississippi Delta. The model employs evidenced based practice, multidisciplinary teams, and individualized nursing interaction in an effort to empower patients to better manage their diabetes. Our program focuses on decreasing health disparities; managing chronic diseases; reducing emergency room visits, hospital admissions and readmissions; and improving health quality while reducing the overall cost of care.
- Clinical outcomes from pilot and how it paved the way for reimbursement in Mississippi
- Cost effective care model for chronic disease management for patients living in under served areas.
- The need for collaborative approach to managing chronic disease

The simplest way to load a module is via insmod. This utility is very basic. It simply asks the kernel to load the module you specify. The insmod program does not perform any dependency resolution or advanced error checking. Usage is trivial. As root, simply run
removes the fishing pole module.
These utilities, however, are trivial and unintelligent. The utility modprobe provides dependency resolution, intelligent error checking and reporting, and more advanced features and options. Its use is highly encouraged.
To insert a module into the kernel via modprobe, run as root
modprobe module [ module parameters ]
where module is the name of the module to load. Any following arguments are taken as parameters to pass to the module on load. See the section "Module Parameters" for a discussion on module parameters.
The modprobe command attempts to load not only the requested module, but also any modules on which it depends. Consequently, it is the preferred mechanism for loading kernel modules.
The modprobe command can also be used to remove modules from the kernel. Again, as root, run
modprobe r modules
where modules specifies one or more modules to remove. Unlike rmmod, modprobe also removes any modules on which the given module depends, if they are unused.

Matthew wrote in a style consistent with Greek rhetoric of his day, using rhetorical tools familiar to his readers. This paper examines four of Matthew's culturally relevant rhetorical tools plus Matthew's record of Jesus' final commission of His disciples.
From that examination, this paper offers five principles relevant to biblical leadership succession:
Extracting from Matthew's use of an encomium to establish an overarching theme of honor in Christ's leadership, this paper argues that honor overarches leadership today for all organizational leaders, including but not limited to religious, business, government, or education.
With leadership honor in mind, the above five biblical principles suggest five Christian ethical responses applicable to any organizational leadership succession:
Matthew frames leadership succession as a critical deliverable for all organizations. If followed, it may provide a plum line to evaluate leadership and leadership activities. Matthew's picture may assure a smoother continuity for organizations during times of transition and chaos. The question all leaders need to answer is, "Am I going to be an honorable leader?"
This article only touches the surface of the potential lessons available from Matthew's Gospel on leadership succession. An excellent research project would be to discover a leadership development strategy out of the actual leadership activities Jesus used in His development of His disciples.

The difference between 360 Virtual Tour and Virtual Reality
The difference between 360 Virtual Tour and Virtual Reality
Let's discuss the difference here.
What is virtual tour?
A 360° virtual tour is a digital marketing tool with an actual photography from a number of 360-degree cameras that are stitched together, to appear as a seamless whole. It provides photo or video of given environments such as real estate, hotels, resorts, casinos, education, tourism destinations, restaurant, clubs and more. Viewer can look around within the content created, but doesn't allow to navigate it or control anything beyond the direction you're looking, in 360 you're simply along for the ride. It's mostly about immersive visual experiences.
A 360° virtual tour can be viewed in many ways. You can watch 24/7, 365 days – even when you are closed through any smartphone, tablet, and computer as you scroll through your Facebook feed, using your finger to move around to get the 360 degree perspective.
Let's look at 360° virtual tour:
On the other hand, virtual reality or VR is a lot more immersive than a 360° virtual.
But, what is virtual reality?
In the most basic of explanations, virtual reality is a way to immerse users in an entirely virtual world. You are able to interact with the surroundings and are granted basic freedoms that 360 video simply can't match. Simply put, you can control the experience. It create an alternate world for you and place you inside it.
Let's look at virtual reality, or VR:
To conclude, Virtual Tour and and VR are different technologies and serve their own purposes. Now that you know what are some of their differences and where they stands amongst the current technologies for entertainment and business, go ahead and learn to how to use them.

Wetland Education Basics for Outdoor Oriented Teaching
Project WEBFOOT is an international, interdisciplinary education outreach program and curriculum created by Ducks Unlimited to bring wetland education to life for 4th-6th grade students.
The fascinating world of wetlands is all around us. It exists in the many marshes, rivers, ponds, and swamps found throughout North America, even among our cities and suburbs. But wetlands aren't spectacular, high-profile places like mountains and canyons. They don't jump out and grab our attention. Instead, they perform their critical functions slowly and quietly—out of sight and, more often than not, out of mind.
Because many people are unaware of the tremendous value wetlands provide for our environment, economy, and well being, these amazing places continue to be destroyed at an alarming rate. To reverse this trend we must educate young people about the importance of wetlands, and empower them to make informed decisions about the future of these vital habitats.
The goal of Project WEBFOOT is to raise awareness and appreciation of wetlands among students, teachers, parents, and communities. Just as wetlands are a critical part of the interconnected web of life, each member of Project WEBFOOT has an important role to play in this exciting outreach program.

Given that Thanksgiving has the reputation for being a day of Herculean food consumption, here's a rather strange World War II propaganda cartoon that visualizes such gustatory excess. In the 1942 short "Food Will Win The War," an overexcited narrator begins yelling about how bridges of butter, flour blizzards, and Brogdingnagian obese children will destroy the German army. Wars are won and lost on tubers the size of the Rock of Gibraltar. The statistics get crazy at 1:40.

Facts and Info about the element Roentgenium - IUPAC and the Modern Standardised Periodic Table
The Standardised Periodic Table in use today was agreed by the International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry, IUPAC, in 1985 which includes the Roentgenium element. The famous Russian Scientist, Dimitri Mendeleev, perceived the correct classification method of "the periodic table" for the 65 elements which were known in his time. Roentgenium was discovered by S. Hofmann at the Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany in 1994. The Standardised Periodic Table now recognises more periods and elements than Dimitri Mendeleev knew in his day but still all fitting into his concept of the "Periodic Table" in which Roentgenium is just one element that can be found.

Is it correct to say "A world with no borders, no time and no place."?
Why do I get the feeling that "boundaries" is a better word choice in this case? Also is it better to say "A world without borders"?
Which word combination should I use in this sentence?
The context is an attempt to explain how some companies believe in sharing educational knowledge around the world. Here is more of the paragraph:
"We see the world coming together in the virtual realm to share knowledge that will raise us all up to a higher level: A world with no borders, no time and no place, where each individual has their own special spark to contribute to the new discourse taking place."
 - 1
 I would make two small changes: remove the "up" (that will raise us all to a higher place), and remove the last two words (to contribute to the new discourse). I think that using the word place two times reads a little awkward, though it's not ungrammatical. (If you'd prefer to leave it in, you could change it to "no time and no location" - but now I'm treading dangerously close to proofreading, which is off-topic.) – J.R. Feb 25 '13 at 21:50
A world with 'no time' and 'no place' would not be a world anyone would be capable of perceiving or living in—so I assume that what you mean is no borders (or boundaries) in either or space: neither time nor space is divided by any boundaries (or borders).
Border in English generally denotes the area adjoining a boundary: the decorated edging on a piece of cloth or on a garment, or the border area alongside a national or district boundary. Border as a designation for the line separating two areas is by and large reserved for national boundaries: we speak of border crossings and border guards and the US-Canada border. The name of the French organization Medecins sans frontieres is translated Doctors Without Borders.
I think boundary probably fits your need better, unless you are writing specifically of national boundaries. In particular, we speak of boundless or unbounded freedom or opportunity, which seem to be the sort of connotations you want. And boundaries is a more sonorous word, if you are writing for the ear.
So: a world without boundaries of time or of space has a nice rhythm; alternatively, a world unbounded in time or space flows a bit quicker.
Mostly ditto on StoneyB. I'd just like to add that "no time and no place" really makes no sense in this context. "A world with no time and no place" sounds like some kind of science fiction story about a realm of disembodied minds or something. It does not indicate a lack of limitations but rather an other-worldliness.
I presume your intent is to say something like "a world not limited by time and place". But even that doesn't really make sense in context. I'm not sure whether by "no borders" you mean sharing knowledge across national borders, cultural or ethnic boundaries, across professions, etc. Or maybe you mean all of these. In a sense then, you would be removing or overcoming limitations of place. But what does this have to do with time? I don't suppose that you are sharing knowledge with the ancient Romans or with people from the future, unless these companies you are talking about have invented time travel.
Perhaps if I read the whole context this would make sense. Perhaps you explain later. If not, though, you probably want to reword this part.

text: 356 страниц. 2011 год. LAP Lambert Academic Publishing This book analyzes the effects of abolition of import tariffs and the implementation of fiscal strictness on the overall economic performance, sectoral performance and, household welfare and inequality in Pakistan. These are two major recommendations made by the IMF under the SAP - Structural Adjustment Program - to Pakistan. To address the analytical aspects of the study, a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model was formulated, incorporating country-specific features designed to capture special economic conditions and institutional characteristics of Pakistan's economy. The study focuses on the impact of internal and external macroeconomic shocks and of the policies on the economy; especially the welfare of households. Policy changes considered in the study include changes in the tax rates, government expenditures, and abolition of import tariffs.


How Do Bearded Dragons Sleep?
How Do Bearded Dragons Sleep
Bearded Dragons come from deserts in Australia. Unlike other nocturnal reptiles, they are diurnal animals that are active during the day and sleep at night. Some of them have a lot of behaviors which is so cute that you will burst out laughing once you see them. If you have a beardie, you easily understand "how do bearded dragons sleep?" and their strange sleeping habits below.
How Much Time Should Bearded Dragons Spend Sleeping Per Day?
Bearded Dragon Lethargic
Typically they wake up as the sun is up and goes to sleep as it becomes darker. A BD usually sleeps around 8 to 12 hours per day and it depends on the temperature or the seasons.
The higher the temperature, the more time they spend sleeping.
They usually sleep around 12 hours in winter and 14 hours for an extremely hot summer.
That means beardie sleeping a lot in summer.
If your BD can sleep in the right schedule for a long time, which help their health better in the future.
It's no reason for any light when the BD is supposed to sleep.
Only if a flashlight or the light of your mobile phone also can disrupt this stage.
Remember to switch all the lights off is the best way to help them experience a long sleep as easily as possible you can do.
Why Must Bearded Dragons Spend More Time To Sleep?
Just like a baby, a baby beardie must sleep the same amount of time as an adult BD does, which helps him maintain good health, grow at the most rapid rate, and reduce stress.
You have to take him to get used to sleeping in a day-night circle of the sun rising or setting.
Make sure that he will go to sleep as well as wake up at the same time each day.
The baby beardie will grow up to full of length in the first 12 months. It estimates 16 inches to 22 inches, BD reaches their maximum length in a short time.
So in this stage of their life, the BD must adhere to a strict bedtime routine to get good conditions to grow.
How Do Bearded Dragons Sleep
Does Bearded Dragon Dream In Deep Sleep?
According to the newest report, the reptile may dream and have a deep sleep with a rapid eye movement and slow-wave stage, just like humans. Until now, only birds and mammals such as humans may have this behavior.
When a person who is falling asleep rapidly moves his eyes, their heart rate rises and the muscle is out of control. Finally, their dream is coming soon.
What is beardie's dream? If someone asks me something like that, I just response to them a friendly smile and "I don't know".
Do Bearded Dragons Sleep With Their Eye Closed Or Open?

Some people try the best to observe a beardie when he sleeps, then they come to the conclusion most of their eyes closed just like humans.
Is it right for all time?
According to the newest reports, most of the BD sleep with closed eyes, however, if there is any light, they will open their eyes.
Should you do best is that turn the light off completely including the red light to avoid disturbing their sleep.
Many beardies close their eyes in various situations.
For instance, when you hold it on your arm too long, the first thing they do is that close their eyes to protect themselves. On the contrary, these behaviors indicate that they are not comfortable.
3 Strange Sleeping Habits Of Bearded Dragons
bearded dragon sleeping a lot in summer
#1 Covered In The Warm Sand To Sleep Like With A Blanket
If you see a BD has covered themselves with sand, don't be surprised.
There is adherently abnormal for this habit, just like you with a blanket at night. Once they lie under the sand to regulate their body temperature and block the direct sunshine.
Besides, there is one other reason for digging in the sand of the BD.
Maybe you just got a new beardie, they have not adopted a new environment, and they have to learn how to get used to some new friends.
They are intended to dig a hole to hide from other dominant BD.
#2 The Strange Posture
best substrate for baby bearded dragons
Many BD usually lies on their stomach just like any animals; however, there are other postures they may use daily.
In the wild, beardie is slightly arboreal so they have an awkward sleeping posturevertical sleeping position.
It's not too seldom to see a BD falling asleep with their fingers against the glass in the vertical position.
#3 The Bearded Dragons Sleeping All-Day
Like any reptiles, the beardie also prepares for winter's sleep.
When winter comes, a BD will be likely to start a brumation, a natural process. They also have several symptoms such eat less, find a safe corner to hide, or stop basking,…
The temperature of the tank is too low, it's won't be able to digest their food, maintain their good health. They tend to sleep a lot or all day instead of activating such as basking, eating,…
Otherwise, "my beardie just sleeps all day due to the wrong light setup"- Some ower said.
Factly, the UVB light plays an important role in their absorption.
A suitable UVB light mode to help the BD to absorb vitamin D3 and calcium, but don't use UVB light when they are falling asleep, which disturbs their sleep.
If the temperature drops very low, you can use a heat controller.
Though the bearded dragon sleep schedule is likely to those of humans, several behaviors are so strange. This makes a difference between beardie and other animals.
It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or an experienced owner with my BD, let's learn to know how to take care, detect their symptoms as earliest as possible. Make sure they get at least 8 to 12 hours per day for a bearded dragons sleep schedule.

Intersectoral Strategies in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMIC)
- LAST MODIFIED: 11 January 2017
- DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780199756797-0155
- LAST MODIFIED: 11 January 2017

There is a growing literature demonstrating the need for intersectoral actions to address social inequities and improve population health and well-being. Public health has been based on effective interventions in two broad domains: the biomedical domain, responding to diseases and ill-health; and the social, economic, and political domains addressing the structural determinants of health. It is recognized in this article that less rigorous and systematic attention has been paid to health issues in social, economic, and political domains, which is reflected in the literature reviewed to develop this article. The task of implementing intersectoral actions demands structural changes, not only through policies targeted toward health and social protection systems but also in the way resources are organized, coordinated, and distributed. New policies, managerial approaches, and technologies are needed to respond to the demands and challenges to achieve and sustain intersectoral strategies. One of the most outstanding challenges is to deal with complex interventions, implemented in complex systems. Most of the literature reviewed addresses theoretical issues and strategies to implement intersectoral actions; however, there is a big gap between these orientations and the practice, political, and structural conditions needed, which are not present in most lower-middle-income countries. The interpretation of results of any study should be done taking into account both the scope and practical meanings of the terms used. It is imperative, therefore, to focus implementation strategies and mechanisms on creating and sustaining processes of change that fit the needs of political and economic contexts of lower-middle-income countries (LMIC). Few studies focus on the strengthening of country capacity to achieve expected changes and to respond to constraints such as the lack of structures and platforms for dialogue and consensus building, as well as to balance power relationships and creation of legislation-regulations to overcome the traditionally vertical, sectoral, and discipline-oriented programs. This review focuses on experiences to address the above challenges in lowand middle-income countries. It is meant to clearly indicate the need to reflect on our practice, answering questions such as the following: How can LMIC face the constraints and challenges to undertake intersectoral work to reduce health inequities? Can we reduce health inequities without reducing social inequities present in LMIC? Why is it that most of the successful experiences come from pilot projects? Why have we have not been able to scale up? How can LMIC cope with new agendas whose complexity demands a more complex practice? What is the role of the health sector? And finally, are we on the right track?
The social determinants approach, according to Victora, et al. 2011, implies that causal chains run from macro social, political, and economic factors, to the pathogenesis of disease. Blas, et al. 2008 (cited under Process, Results, and Impact Evaluation of Intersectoral Strategies in LMIC) classifies the interventions in three categories: upstream, midstream, and downstream. The first category refer to the reform of fundamental social and economic structures and involve mechanisms for the redistribution of wealth, power, opportunities, and decision-making; the second category is oriented to interventions that "seek to reduce risky behaviors or exposures to hazards by influencing health behaviors or psychosocial factors and/or by improving material working and living conditions." The majority of experiences cited in this review correspond to "downstream interventions," which, according to the Blas, et al. 2008, correspond to those that "occur at the micro and/or individual level and mitigate the inequitable impacts of upstream and midstream determinants" (p. 1684). Intersectoral actions require wide political and economic reforms, which are not present in most of LMIC. Readers interested in more structural reforms may review studies done in Brazil (Junqueira 2000 and Magalhães and Bodstein 2009) as well as in Chile (Junqueira 2000 and Solar, et al. 2009). Those interested in challenges and difficulties of intersectoral work to strengthen primary health care, health coverage, and health in all policy strategies, might review Victora, et al. 2011; Mladovsky and Mossialos 2008; Gomes, et al. 2009; and Labonté, et al. 2009. In the same vein, the World Health Organization, Government of South Australia 2010 and Gomes, et al. 2009 call attention to the need for a new social contract among all sectors to strengthen equity and human development, as well as a new form of governance to make sustainable programs.
Gomes, N. P., N. M. F. Diniz, C. C. Silva Filho, and J. N. B. Santos. 2009. Enfrentamento da violência doméstica contra a mulher a partir da interdisciplinaridade e intersetorialidade. Revista enfermagem UERJ – UERJ Nursing Journal 17:14–17.
Considers the multicomponent nature of domestic violence as the entry point to highlight the importance of intersectoral and interdisciplinary work. Authors conducted a literature review demonstrating that to address violence, isolated action should be avoided, and different sectors should work together to account for the complexity of this problem.
Junqueira, L. A. P. 2000. Intersetorialidade, transetorialidade e redes sociais na saúde. Revista de administração pública 34:35–45.
Described intersectorality as processes for integrating skills and experiences and places the Unified Health System in Brazil as a transectoral project: this is because its body of knowledge is not restricted to specific skills but extends to the guarantee of rights. Concepts to understand the complexity of social reality are needed.

Analysis of the Primary Health Care (PHC) strategy after thirty years of Alma Ata declaration is the focus of this study, examining its impact on improving population health, reducing health inequities, and closing knowledge gaps. PHC is conceived as an integral approach oriented to reducing health inequities through community participation, as well as multidisciplinary and trans-sectoral actions.
Magalhães, R., and R. Bodstein. 2009. Evaluation of initiatives and intersectoral programs in health: Challenges and learning. Ciência & Saúde Coletiva 14:861–868.
The focus of this article is on the evaluation of intersectoral initiatives. Social mobilization networks, the profile of the players, types of incentives and levels of institutional integration are treated as crucial elements in the analysis. It is concluded that the interface and dialogue among researchers, evaluators, and decision makers, constitute the central axes for better social and institutional learning.
Mladovsky, P., and E. Mossialos. 2008. A conceptual framework for community-based health insurance in low-income countries: Social capital and economic development. World Development 36:590–607.
Implications of community-based health insurance (CBHI) and universal coverage for health care in LMIC are analyzed, considering contextual factors associated with social determinants. A framework based on social capital theories and economic development to reach sustainable levels of population coverage is used to organize and interpret existing evidence.
Solar, O., N. Valentine, D. Albrecht, and M. Rice. 2009. Moving forward to equity in health: What kind of intersectoral action is needed? An approach to an intersectoral typology. Partnership and Intersectoral Action Conference Working Document.
An intersectoral typology is described, considering the type and scope of intersectoral initiatives and their implications for the planning, management, and participation of different sectors involved. Discussed are types of engagement of sectors, ranging from information, cooperation, integration, and coordination activities, and the relationship of intersectoral actions to the societal vision of public health, as well as the patterns of social participation.
Victora, C. G., M. L. Barreto, M. do Carmo Leal, et al. 2011. Health conditions and health-policy innovations in Brazil: The way forward. Lancet 377:2042–2053.
In this series of six articles, the authors refer to many challenges closely related to the administration of a complex, decentralized public-health system, which competes with private insurance and institutions. The challenge is recognized as a political one, facing new barriers due to urbanization and social and environmental change, as well as old unresolved health issues.
World Health Organization, Government of South Australia. 2010. Adelaide Statement on Health in All Policies moving towards shared governance for health and well being. Health Promotion International 25:258–260.
The Adelaide Statement on Health in All Policies requires the joining-up and coordination of sectors, as well as the engagement of leaders and policymakers at all levels of government. This change in paradigm implies a new social contract, a new form of governance among all sectors, and leadership within governments to improve human development

Engineers from the Technical University of Applied Sciences Lübeck and the University of Auckland have come up with a novel platform that recreates a natural touch sensation using a shape-memory alloy matrix, which is accomplished by applying shear-forces onto the skin. While most haptic feedback systems employ servos, solenoids, and vibration motors to produce a feeling sensation, they are often large and cumbersome to use. With the introduction of lightweight, soft, and flexible haptic actuators created with shape-memory alloys, the feeling of natural touch becomes more prominent.
The researchers developed their Touch me Gently device around those shape-memory alloys (SMAs), specifically SMA-based plasters that are arranged in a matrix. The lightweight, stretchable 3 x 3cm plasters (15 in all) were designed with multiple layers, including a thermal dissipation layer, SMA wire/terminal layer, a stretchable adhesive textile, and a thermal/electrical insulation layer.
The plasters are connected to a custom PCB outfitted with a dsPIC33CH64MP202T microcontroller, which drives eight actuator bits independently, while a pair of ULN2003F12FN-7 Darlington arrays handle four channels for each matrix. It's also equipped with a BTS3080EJXUMA1 power switch, an FT230XQ-R FTDI USB interface for programming, and a 3.7V Lithium battery for power.
The plasters deform when subjected to lower temperatures and revert to their original shape when heated or when an electric current is supplied. The engineers were able to program the Touch me Gently device to produce a series of touching sensations, such as grabbing an arm or wrist, tapping feelings up and down an arm, stroking, and outlining a circle on an arm or wrist.
The team tested their natural touch system on volunteers who were able to distinguish each touch pattern with a 94.75% accuracy, and have demonstrated how the device could be used for AR and VR applications.

Every Creature Singing is an adult curriculum for congregations, small groups or individuals who want to explore questions like these:
- What guidance does the Christian faith offer on issues like climate change and environmental injustice?
- Where in our circle of influence is creation struggling, and what can we do about it?
- How can we as a community be faithful in pursuing spiritual and household practices that help us care for the earth?
See the links in the left panel of this page to download the curriculum free of charge. Note that there is a U.S. version and a Canadian version.
U.S. Readers: Please use the Canadian version for now and give us another week or two to get the U.S. version back online. Or email _EMAIL_ for the original U.S. version.
Curriculum Structure and Format
Every Creature Singing is divided into three units of four sessions each.
- Biblical and Theological Foundations
- Pursuing Peace and Justice
- Choosing A Simple Lifestyle
The thirteenth session is left open to be used at the congregation's discretion.
Each session includes:
- suggested scripture passages,
- a reflective essay and discussion questions,
- suggested spiritual practices and household practices,
- Knowing Your Place questions that focus on the group's surrounding neighborhood
- additional resources
The leader's guide offers goals and teaching ideas for shaping each session.
While we provide material for a traditional quarter-long, one-hour Christian education, we hope people will feel free to be creative in adapting this material to fit their time slot and group. Suggestions for other approaches are described in the introductory material.
In July 2013, Mennonite Creation Care Network proposed a resolution to the delegates gathered at Mennonite Church USA's biennial convention. The resolution called all Mennonite congregations to study creation care within their own ecological and social contexts during the next two years. The resolution passed, and Every Creature Singing was created to aid congregations in fulfilling this commitment.
Read the resolution
While this curriculum was developed with the Mennonite Church USA in mind, we hope it can serve a broader community as well. If you are from another denomination, please be gracious in tolerating our references to Mennonites!

Imagine that this same observer measures the frequency of the waves instead of wavelength. How does the frequency measured in front of the source appear to the observer compared to the frequency measured from behind?
How do these results help explain why a car's engine sounds different as the car approaches you compared with after it passes?
The Doppler Effect is present in light waves as well. As you will learn in the Color Lab, red light has a lower frequency than blue light. Based on your observations in this experiment, what can you speculate about the motion of a distant star that appears "red-shifted" to astrophysicists? (The light appears redder than expected.)

self is a special variable in Objective-C, inside an instance method this variable refers to the receiver(object) of the message that invoked the method, while in a class method self will indicate which class is calling.
self refers to the actual object that is executing the current method, it is an invisible argument passed automatically by the runtime environment to your instance methods.

For both instance and class methods, it "refers to the receiver of the message". It's just that in a class method, the receiver is a class object. Also, it only refers to that at the beginning of the method -- self can be re-assigned like any other local variable. – newacct Jan 26 '13 at 20:19

The new Experian Global Insights Report concludes that digital online spending will continue to gain strength even as consumers emerge from lockdown and return to in-person transactions. Consumers are also engaging with digital payments as much as they engage with email. The growth curve of online spending has increased the use of mobile wallets that now rival traditional payment methods. The latest report shows that 62 per cent of respondents say they are currently using mobile wallets, while 63 per cent use traditional forms of payment.
Consumers stated that they want fast, frictionless, and secure transactions, with 81 per cent saying that a positive digital experience makes them think more highly of the brand versus a traditional brick and mortar experience. This trend is also favourable for businesses. It shows that 53 per cent of consumers surveyed have increased their spending and transactions on digital channels in the past three months, with 50 per cent of respondents saying it will likely increase over the next three months.
David Bernard, Experian's EVP of Strategy and Operations for Global Decision Analytics, speaks on the trends shown in the report relating to the pandemic.
"Results from our latest survey reveal that many consumers are more concerned now about the security of their online transactions and activities than they were a year ago, with regional differences in the nature of their primary concerns," said Bernard. "The past two years have given way to a digitally savvy consumer, who have a growing awareness and understanding of advanced, frictionless security methods. Consumers seek to make their work and lives easier and safer."
The report also clarifies that consumers have a preference when establishing new accounts, with banking websites, retail, and credit card company mobile apps leading the way. Digital savvy consumers place the most trust with payment service providers, credit card companies, technology, and streaming media companies.
One additional business benefit with the rise and reach of new payment methods like mobile wallets, Peer-to-Peer (P2P), and Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is that businesses are also able to find options for better financial inclusion. In the US and UK, 60 per cent say they are doing just that with programs like BNPL. In the US, 4 in 5 consumers use BNPL to avoid credit card debt, whereas 7 in 10 UK consumers said the same. Furthermore, 57 per cent of respondents say that BNPL could replace their traditional payment method.
Companies still have room to improve meeting customers' expectations of the digital experience. 23 per cent of consumers surveyed say their expectations for the digital experience have only somewhat or not at all been met. This percentage is down from 30 per cent in Q4 2021. Only 23 per cent of consumers feel very confident that the businesses will address their online security concerns. The tide has also changed as 73 per cent of consumers put the onus on companies to protect them online.
Consumers surveyed are also more aware of the value of their data. 90 per cent of customers want complete or some control of how their data is used, with 57 per cent being willing to share data if it ensures greater security or prevents fraud. There are regional differences for security concerns. For instance, identity theft and stolen credit card information far outpace other worries in the US, while data privacy is a top concern in China. More than 50 per cent of respondents are worried about deep fake fraud in Malaysia and Peru.

Reverse Space Monster Zoas, or more correctly Palythoas, are species of button polyps popular among aquarists for their vibrant combination of neon green and purplish pink colors. They are one of the varieties of the Palythoa genus, and generally require very little care to keep healthy and thriving. Because of it, they are recommended to novice aquarists as an entry point for novice coral growing.
How to care for reverse space monster zoa?
Reverse Space Monster Zoa care boils down to providing them with a proper growing environment in your aquarium. Water temperature should be kept at 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit range, and the ideal specific gravity of water is 1.025 but a fluctuation between 1.024 and 1.026 is acceptable.
The pH level should be maintained between 8.1 and 8.4, while carbonate hardiness or alkalinity should be in the 8-9.5 dKH. For the health and proper growth of Reverse Space Monster, it is important to keep the concentration of calcium and magnesium in 420-440 and _PHONE_ ppm ranges, respectively.
Another two very important factors that need to be closely monitored are nitrates and phosphate levels. Nitrates should be kept below 10 ppm, and in case that they go above this level, a water change is recommended. Phosphates should be kept at a level below 0.1 ppm. If it rises above, you should replace the granular ferric oxide (GFO) phosphate removal media.
Almost any type of lighting can be used to grow zoas, and they thrive in a low to moderate environment of PAR 100-250. But they prefer colder light color, between 14.000 and 20.000 Kelvin color temperature. Additionally, you should keep the water flow to moderate.
To obtain the color temperature that zoas prefer, you can purchase a special lamp. Many hobbyists use metal halide (MH) lamps to grow their zoas. They are expensive, but they will give excellent results because zoas need high-intensity light. The advantage of using MH lamps is that they will give you a good color temperature in your aquarium. So if you have plans to grow zoas, then usage of MH lamps is one of the best options.
If you don't have enough money to purchase MH lamps, then there are other ways to bring out the desired light color at an affordable price. At this point, I strongly recommend the usage of T5 HO fluorescent lamps. This type of lamp provides a good color temperature that is suitable for zoas, and it's usually very cheap to buy.
Do you need to feed zoas?
Zoanthids and Palythoas don't need to be fed often. They are usually a host for symbiotic zooxanthellae which through photosynthesis provide them with enough nutrients to thrive. Thus targeted feeding most often is not required but providing enough nutrients for the whole ecosystem. Zoas are filter feeders and will extract needed nutrients from detritus created by other creatures in the reef tank.
In case that they do not have enough nutrients, they can be fed with the roti or oyster feast, or bits of mini mysis. When target feeding zoas it is important to closely monitor nutrient levels of the whole tank, as the increase can lead to algae blooming.
What are zooxanthellae?
Zooxanthellae is a common term for symbiotic eukaryotic single-celled dinoflagellates that often inhabit corals. They contain chloroplasts which makes them autotrophs using the process of photosynthesis. Zooxanthellae can live in symbiosis with many marine organisms, particularly with corals, and provide their hosts with nutrients while helping them to remove the products of metabolism, primarily carbon dioxide.
Through photosynthesis, they collect the carbon dioxide produced by their host, and from it, they produce glucose, amino acids, and oxygen needed to host.
How do you increase zooxanthellae?
Because most of the zooxanthellae are algae, the level of nitrates and phosphates determines their presence in the aquarium. If the levels of these nutrients are kept in the acceptable range for zoas, they will thrive.
In case that the water temperature is too high, corals tend to expel the algae from their tissue. Because the coloration of corals actually comes from the zooxanthellae colonies living in their tissues, this will lead to their discolorization. This phenomenon is also known as coral bleaching.
If your reverse space monster has vibrant colors, it indicates that its population of zooxanthellae is at healthy levels. In case that they start increasing the coral will start turning brownish, which indicates a higher than desirable level of nitrates.
Can algae kill coral?
Most of the algae that are associated with coral colonies are actually in a symbiotic relationship with them. They provide nutrients to coral in environments that are known to be nutrient-poor. But the presence of sugars they produce can create an environment in which bacterias can start developing in sufficient numbers to actually start lowering the amount of oxygen available to corals.
Algae are very beneficial for corals, besides giving them their vibrant colors, but under certain conditions, they can indirectly cause the death of corals by creating conditions for increased bacterial infection rates of corals.
What removes phosphate in a reef tank?
The best way to control the level of phosphates in your reef tank is to use phosphate removal media or GFO. They function by capturing inorganic phosphates and thus keeping their level at a desirable level. In case that the level of phosphates increases, it can lead to an outbreak of algae which is detrimental to the health of the aquarium.
What is phosphate removal media?
Phosphate removal media, also known as granular ferric oxide (GFO), is a chemical compound consisting of iron, oxygen, and hydrogen; that is used for preventing the blooming of algae in aquariums. A sudden outbreak of algae can lead to the death of the aquarium's ecosystem. GFO has a very high affinity to binding phosphates, thus is an essential tool for maintaining their balance in aquariums and preventing algae outbreaks.
How often should you change phosphate media?
The best time to remove GFO is when the level of phosphates starts rising in your tank. Depending on the exact GFO product you are using in your aquarium, this can be anywhere between 4 and 8 weeks. Though this is a general rule, the exact period of time can vary due to many factors, including the amount and frequency of feeding.
Can you use too much phosphate remover?
Inorganic phosphates present in your tank's water have an impact on its pH level. Thus using more than the suggested amount of GFO for your tank can cause a too sudden drop of phosphates and a pH level drop. Any sudden change of pH level can have a dramatic effect on your aquarium, so you should use only the suggested amount of phosphate remover.
What is alkalinity of water?
The alkalinity or hardiness of water is a measure of the water solution's ability to withstand acidification. It describes the presence of various carbonates, and their ability to absorb acids. It shouldn't be confused with pH level, which is a measure of acids present in water. In other words, it is a measure of your aquarium's ability to withstand the change of pH level.

text: On Earth, humans break from a walk into a run—where both feet are lifted off the ground—when their speed reaches about 2.1 meters per second. Calculations predicted that the transition speed would be lower on the moon due to the reduced gravity, at about 0.86 meters per second, but lab simulations have suggested higher values than that. Short of flying a crew to the moon, the only way to test things out in lunar gravity is by hopping onto NASA's adapted DC-9 aircraft that can fly a roller-coaster path—so the researchers did just that. During each cycle on the so-called vomit comet, volunteers had 20 to 30 seconds to test out varying walk and run speeds on a treadmill (similar to what's pictured) when the gravity on them fell to one-sixth of that on Earth. The results confirm that the walk-to-run transition speed is indeed higher than predicted by theory, at an average of 1.42 meters per second. This is possibly due to the additional force that swinging arms and legs exert on the body, as the effect of such force is more pronounced in lunar gravity, the team reports this week in The Journal of Experimental Biology. The researchers hope such studies could lead to more agile space suits.

Not yet set in stone
Quincy granite gave rise to the nation's monuments. Now there's a push to give it, and those who worked it, their due.
A group of Quincy residents is pushing to build a Quincy quarry and granite workers museum, saying it fears a big piece of the city's history will be lost unless action is taken to preserve it.
Quincy was once known as the Granite City. Its quarries produced stone used in many of the nation's public monuments; grand public buildings from the Palmer House in Chicago to customs houses in Boston, Savannah, and San Francisco; lighthouses such as Minot's Ledge Light; and fortifications such as Fort Warren in Boston Harbor.
The West Quincy pits mined for the hard, handsome stone used in the Bunker Hill Monument in the 1820s initiated a 140-year run of quarrying in the Blue Hills, providing stone-cutting work for immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, and Finland. The Bunker Hill Quarry, among the West Quincy pits, provided the impetus for the nation's first commercial railroad, the Granite Railway, which ran 3 miles to the banks of the Neponset River, where stone was carried by water to Charlestown to build the monument honoring the Revolutionary War battle.
Testifying to its national importance, the quarry site where proponents plan to locate the Quincy Quarry and Granite Workers Museum has three listings on the National Register of Historic Places: its Granite Railway terminus, the Granite Railway incline, and the Lyons Turning Mill.
But official recognition has not been followed by action. Funding for a museum was supposed to be part of the deal when the city agreed to lease land in Quarry Hills to the Granite Links Golf Club 17 years ago, but no financing emerged when the deal took its final shape, said Alfred Bina, president of the museum group.
Today the quarries are visited primarily by rock climbers, and the pits are covered by graffiti. Some of the quarries are on state park land. The state created a Quincy Quarries Historic Site trail in the area 20 years ago, but the trail markers have fallen into disrepair because of the state's chronic underfunding of its parks.
"This part of Quincy's history is being lost to future generations,'' the museum group warns in its mission statement.
The city of Quincy has been slow to act on a museum, agrees Vic Campbell of the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, a group of railroad history buffs who spoke about the beginnings of the Granite Railway at a meeting held in October by the museum group. "It seems that when it comes to the Adamses, nothing that anyone can think of is too much. When it comes to the quarries, nothing is too neglectful,'' Campbell said.
While city officials agree a quarry museum would be a plus for the city, creating one has not been a priority for recent administrations. Mayor Thomas Koch said last month the plans for a quarry museum were in the hands of Bina's citizens group.
The nation's large-scale granite quarrying industry was born here in 1825, when the architect who submitted the winning design for the Bunker Hill Monument - Solomon Willard - selected West Quincy as the source of stone for the memorial. Quincy's granite was selected for its hardness and durability, dark color tone, and ability to take a high polish. Needing a great deal of stone to build the 220-foot obelisk, Willard developed new construction techniques that turned the local granite into a practical building material.
As demand for Quincy granite grew, quarrying developed into a thriving industry and played a significant role in the economic and social development of the area. More than 50 quarries operated in Quincy, employing thousands of workers over nearly a century and a half. Quarrymen split granite with hand tools such as chisels, wedges, and drills before the introduction of steam drills in the 1880s.
The lengthy Bunker Hill construction also ushered in the first true commercial railroad in America. Engineered by Gridley Bryant, whose innovations are still in use in railroads elsewhere, the Granite Railroad made it possible for horse-drawn cars to carry tons of granite over the rails at a rate of 5 miles per hour, on a route similar to that of today's Southeast Expressway.
The railroad's construction and engineering techniques were studied by engineers and investors from around the country who sought to bring the new means of transportation to their own states.
The group pushing the museum wants to build it next to the remaining walls of the Lyons Turning Mill on Quarry Hills Drive, Bina said. Once the best-equipped mill in New England for turning and polishing 22-foot columns and 6-foot granite balls, the structure was 200 feet long and housed a huge derrick to move stone.
The museum would exhibit artifacts and photos related to quarrying, manufacturing stone products, transporting stone, and buildings made from Quincy granite. A museum on the site of the former quarry would also draw added visitors, the group said, creating "more historical points within the city to enhance tourism and enhance the area of Quarry Hills Drive.''
So far the group has collected donated tools, photos, and lots of historical information, said Bina, a retired chemical engineer with West Quincy roots who described himself as a "rookie'' in the area's quarry history.
Incorporated a year ago, the Quincy Quarry and Granite Workers Museum is registered with the state as a nonprofit group and is in the process of applying for federal nonprofit status. Acquiring federal status as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization is needed to draw corporate donors and allow the group to begin serious fund-raising, Bina said.
