 Why Everyone Should Know About Interventional Empathy
 Why Everyone Should Know About Interventional Empathy
 Suicide prevention expert Mark Goulston, co-creator and moderator of the new documentary Stay Alive, shares his six-step technique for calming yourself or someone else who may be on the verge of self-destruction.
 What would you do if you encountered a suicidal person? The classic scenario of a person standing on a bridge likely comes to mind when we think of suicide. But an at-risk person can show up in your life in any number of ways.
 A friend might call you in hysterics saying they no longer want to live, or a family member could show up threatening self-harm with a weapon. Or you might encounter a passerby who suddenly becomes volatile. In any of these cases, you know that what you do next is important. If you don't say the right things, the results could be deadly.
 "You may never have given this subject much thought," says Dr. Mark Goulston, suicide prevention expert and co-creator and moderator of Stay Alive, a new 75-minute video/podcast documentary available here on YouTube, serving at-risk populations and featuring suicide survivor Kevin Hines and suicide prevention advocate Rayko. (_TAG_) "But in a time when mental illness, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, is at an all-time high, it's more important than ever to know what to do to calm down an at-risk person.
 "Suicide is now the second-leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States, after accidents," adds Goulston. "The hope that we could help people find their way out of despair was the impetus for creating this film. Suicide prevention isn't just about helping the person who is afflicted. To really move the needle toward saving lives, we need to remove the societal stigma surrounding suicide."
 Goulston explains that this process begins with helping the people who care about at-risk individuals gain understanding and offer support. The next step is helping society recognize the true struggles of those at risk.
 Misunderstanding and judgment only further isolate a person who is suicidal. Instead, it's time for more compassion. When everyone understands how much suffering is really going on, we have a real chance to reach out and save lives.
 If someone in your life—or perhaps even a stranger—appears to be out of control and potentially self-destructive or dangerous, Dr. Goulston says interventional empathy is a powerful tool. It's a simple process he has been sharing with law enforcement officers as a way to deescalate potentially violent situations.
 But anyone can learn to practice interventional empathy, and it could help save someone's life—even your own! That's right; not only does interventional empathy help calm down other people, but you can use it to calm yourself if you ever begin to spiral into despair or self-destruction.
 Here is a six-step process for showing interventional empathy if you or someone you encounter appears as if they may become violent or self-destructive:
 Step 1: Say, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
 Saying this signals you or others to stop agitated behavior. It's pretty primal. After all, this is the same thing you say to a horse when it rears up and is about to start galloping out of control.
 Step 2: Say, "Shh…Shh…Shh…Shh…"
 This sound signals to quiet not just people's words but their minds as well. It's what our teachers did in elementary school, and it still works to quiet a noisy room.
 Step 3: Ask, "What happened to you to get you so upset?"
 This is a way of validating that people have a reason to be upset as opposed to telling them they're wrong or to just "shut up!"
 Step 4: Say, "Tell me more."
 Saying this invites the person to share a story of events leading to this confrontation. As they relate their story, they will feel listened to, understood, and will understand that you are validating the fact that something led to the current confrontation.
 Step 5: Ask, "Is this why you're acting the way you are?"
 This question connects what they say to how they are behaving and communicates that you understand that whatever they are doing makes sense from their point of view. This further deepens your rapport. It also increases their oxytocin levels and decreases their levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, lowering their reactivity and agitation.
 Step 6: Say, "A better thing to do right now would be to ______________."
 Once the person relaxes, you can suggest an alternate behavior. By using "fill in the blank" language, you invite the person to help you come up with a better solution. This empathetic communication transforms their combativeness into communication and helps you both come up with a way out of the situation.
 Why This Works
 "Empathy is a secret weapon for calming down agitated people," says Goulston.
 "It works because it literally disarms each part of a person's brain in sequence, moving from their most primitive reptilian 'fight or flight' brain, through their mammalian emotional brain, and up into their human rational brain."
 But here's the problem: When we are confronted by an agitated and possibly destructive of self-destructive person, we feel threated and can't access our rational brain. When this happens, Dr. Goulston says we usually try to stop that person with a verbal confrontation or admonishment.
 This response may work for police officers holding a gun; however, when the rest of us shut a person down, it frequently escalates the situation because they feel even more cornered, often causing them to act more irrationally and struggle all the more to access their rational mind.
 So, the next time someone appears to be out of control and potentially self-destructive or dangerous, use the technique above to help calm them and hopefully save a life. And remember that it can also work for you.
 If you are in turmoil, Dr. Goulston says to imagine someone who cares about you, living or dead, guiding you through those six steps of interventional empathy in your mind's eye. Feel their love for you as they do it. Then feel your own gratitude toward them for their having cared about you. You will discover that you can't feel grateful and angry at the same moment.
 "When someone is in trouble, they need the gift of empathy more than anything else," concludes Dr. Goulston. "Luckily, we are all equipped to offer this to anyone who needs it. And whether that person in need is you, your best friend, your child, or a stranger on the street, you can change a life—maybe even save a life—by showing that you care."
 If you or someone you love needs help, call 911 or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or visit

I first wrote about the topic of closed captioning costs and pricing over three years ago. Most of what I wrote then still holds true today, but since the topic has come up in several conversations over the past few months, I decided it's time for an update.
Minimum Wage, Poverty Wage, and Living Wage
According to Dr. Amy Glasmeier, creator of the Living Wage Calculator, many employers see paying staff a living wage as a moral issue. In the U.S., the federal government defines the poverty threshold — the amount of income required to pay for a basic food budget, along with housing, clothing, and other basic needs. Minimum wage is set by the federal government and by state and local jurisdictions at levels that are intended to keep families and individuals from falling below the poverty threshold. However, the poverty threshold doesn't take into account costs such as childcare and healthcare, nor does it consider variations in the cost of living from location to location.
Take my home town of Fort Collins, Colorado as an example. According to the Living Wage Calculator, single adult with no children in Fort Collins would need to earn $5.00 per hour to stay above the poverty threshold. The minimum wage in Fort Collins is $8.31, so a single person with no children who is making minimum wage and working full time would stay above the poverty level. However, to pay for healthcare and other costs considered part of a living wage, that individual would need to make $11.65 per hour. And if that person is married and has just one child, the amount needed to make a living wage jumps to at least $14.10 per hour — even if both parents are working full-time.
Wages for Transcribers
Transcribers who work as freelancers are often paid a flat fee based on the number of minutes of content that they transcribe. For example, a discount captioning vendor that charges $1.00 per minute for captioning might pay their transcribers and captioners $0.40 for each minute of content transcribed. Initially many people naïvely assume that a transcriber could accurately produce a verbatim transcript in realtime; in other words, they assume that a transcriber who gets $0.40 per minute of content is earning a respectable $24 per hour ($0.40 x 60). However, the reality is that it takes a trained transcriber 5 -10x the duration of the video to accurately transcribe a video. The range depends on the difficulty of the content; a video with a single speaker talking about a non-technical subject takes less time. A video with more than one speaker, or with technical, scientific, or academic content, will skew toward the higher end of the range to transcribe accurately. If we take a median efficiency rate of 7x, we can now see that the transcriber who is getting paid $0.40 per minute of content is actually earning $3.43 per hour (($0.40 x 60) / 7). That's well below poverty wages if you live in the U.S., no matter where you live and even if you are single with no children.
Does it Matter?
A closer analysis reveals that how much you pay your transcribers matters quite a lot, as it can have a direct impact on the quality of your captions and descriptions. When purchasing captioning and description services it's important to consider the subject matter of the video content and then assess how a company's practices will affect your results. Especially for higher education institutions, the accuracy of your captions and descriptions is crucial. Students, faculty, and staff will need access to the material, and providing accurate results will ensure that your content is accessible and compliant with federal guidelines. Organizations that use crowd-sourcing, speech recognition, and inexpensive offshore labor may find that the quality of their captions and descriptions falls short. In developing countries with a low cost of living, $3.43 per hour can be an attractive wage and captioning vendors may be able to find some transcribers with good enough English skills that they can do a decent job with relatively simple content. But technical content, cultural references, and accents that are unfamiliar to English speakers in developing countries can all cause quality to plummet if you choose to go with a captioning company that pays transcribers less than $4.00 per hour.
Artificial Intelligence to the Rescue?
Increased automation through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) holds great promise in many fields. It's already had a big impact on captioning by automating many of the more tedious and time-consuming tasks required to create captioned video. Fifteen years ago, when AST was first getting started, the cost of captioning was 5 – 10x what is is today. So AI, broadly speaking, is helping bring down the cost of captioning.
However, to get your captions to the gold standard level of equally effective communication, you need to include human intelligence. And for complex content you need not just any humans — you need humans with subject matter expertise and experience with the accents used in your videos. If a captioning company offers AI-enhanced captioning at prices that seem too good to be true, they may simply be masking the fact that they are using offshore labor, rather than skilled labor at a fair wage. If a captioning company claims that most of their transcribers are based in the U.S. (or the broader term North America), ask them what percentage of the work is performed in the U.S., and whether they can provide an auditable guarantee that your work is performed in the U.S. (AST can provide such a guarantee, if you want it).
Here's an example of the statistical sleight-of-hand that can be performed with a statement like "most of our freelancers are based in North America." A portion of those freelancers may be based in Mexico or developing countries in the Caribbean, which technically are part of North America. Another large portion could be people who are based in the U.S., but they tried just one or two captioning projects, realized they were making less than a living wage, and never did any work for the company again after that. In this scenario the company could have a large percentage of people in their pool of freelancers who are based in North America, but they could be doing a very small percentage of the transcription performed by that company.
We understand that the cost of captioning and audio description services can be significant, especially if your organization is using video extensively. But if you want to provide truly accessible video (meaning you are providing equally effective communication), you need to decide whether captioning is the right place to be cutting corners.

Turkey: New climate target delays the net zero emissions goal
At the UN Climate Summit in Egypt, the Turkish Minister of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change announced an update to the country's climate target for 2030. The new Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) falls short of Turkey's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2053, which was announced last year. The Climate Action Network Europe (CAN Europe) has criticized the new target as insufficient and partly inaccurate. The new goal actually envisions an increase in dangerous greenhouse gas emissions until 2038, instead of a reduction, as the goal is not calculated in absolute terms. This could delay Turkey's energy transition and hinder the 2053 net zero emissions target. Furthermore, higher ambition is needed to meet the mitigation work program that governments are expected to adopt at COP27. According to calculations by climate civil society organizations and think tanks, Turkey's emissions could be reduced by 35% by 2030 compared to 2020 levels, thus achieving the 2053 net zero target in a more efficient and less costly way.

What is cavitation?
What do beer bottles, the mantis shrimp and propellers have in common?
They are both good way to see a phenomenon called cavitation in action.
Cavitation happens when the pressure in a liquid suddenly drops. The drop in pressure is caused by pushing a liquid quicker than it can react, leaving behind an area of low pressure often as a bubble of gas.
Full video from Slow Mo Guys
In the above example the glass bottle is hit from the top, the glass moves down faster than the water, causing air bubbles and low pressure to form at the bottom. Once the bubbles collapse a shock wave breaks the bottle of the glass.
In general, objects like propellers are designed to avoid cavitation and the damage it can cause. However there is one animal that exploits the effect. The Mantis shrimp uses a punch strong enough to cause cavitation to stun prey. It can also be used to break down kidney stones, sterilise water, or break up dirt.

Owyhee Canyonlands Wilderness
The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 designated 517,000 acres of wilderness and 316 miles of wild and scenic rivers. The legislation also authorizes acquisition of seven public rights-of-way across private lands. These rights-of-way provide access to significant federal lands that were previously difficult to reach because they were surrounded by private parcels.
The Act created six separate southwestern Idaho wilderness areas:
Some of the nearby towns are Grand View and Mountain Home, Idaho, and Jordan Valley, Oregon.

At the northern end of Interstate 75 is a span that joins two nations and two cities that bear the same name: Sault Ste. Marie Michigan and Ontario. While the current International Bridge was constructed in the 1960's, its forerunner was built in the previous century.
The International railroad bridge spans across the St. Mary's River and canal system a total of nine times. On this day in 1887 the partnership agreement was signed that paved the way for building that first structure.
Detroit Bridge and Ironworks was awarded the contract for only the drawbridge, while the other eight spans were constructed by the Dominion Bridge Company of Montreal, which half a century later would play a part in building the Golden Gate Bridge.

The osteoprotective effect of Radix Dipsaci extract in ovariectomized rats.
ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to systematically evaluate the effects of Radix Dipsaci extract (RDE) on postmenopausal osteoporosis.
OVX or sham operations were performed on sixty 3-month-old virgin Sprague-Dawley rats that were divided into six groups: sham control group (sham, n=10); OVX control group (OVX, n=10); 17beta-estradiol treatment group (E2, n=10); three Radix Dipsaci extract treatment groups RDE100 (n=10), RDE300 (n=10) and RDE500 (n=10). The treatment began 4 weeks after the surgery and lasted for 16 weeks. Bone mass, bone turnover and strength were analyzed by DEXA, biochemical markers and three-point bending test. The trabecular bone microarchitecture was evaluated by MicroCT.
16 weeks treatment of RDE slowed down the body weight gain and prevented the loss of bone mass induced by the OVX. The prevention effect on bone loss was due to altering the rate of bone remodeling, which could be inferred from the decreased level of bone turnover markers, such as serum ALP, OC and urinary DPD. The changes of urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion provided the same evidence. The treatment could also enhance the bone strength and prevent the deterioration of trabecular microarchitecture.
Our study provides evidence that Radix Dipsaci extract will have potential to be used for treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT: Abstract Context: Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been widely used in clinical practice to treat bone disease for thousands of years. They are cost-effective with fewer side effects and are more suitable for long-term use compared with chemically synthesized medicines. Objective: Chinese herbal formula prescribed among the CHMs is safe, and it is an alternative medicine for bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis. Methods: Science Direct and Google Scholar were used to search articles published. The input key words were CHM, osteoporosis, Chinese herbal formula, traditional Chinese medicine, single herb, multiple-herbs, and bone health. CHMs (single herb and formula) lacking sufficient proof and evidence in the literature were excluded and only those with high citation were retained. Results: A brief review was summarized to indicate the application and the potential mechanism of single herb formula and multi-herb formula in treating the common bone-related diseases such as inflammation, fracture, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. Conclusion: In order to ensure safety and efficacy of all these CHMs, the prescriptions with single herb and multi-component formula must be verified and ensured by reliable pharmacological and toxicological methods. Much more effort needs to be done for studying the standardization, safety evaluation, and mechanism exploration of herb formula as well as confirming the compatibility of these herbs which make one.Pharmaceutical Biology 06/2014; · 1.34 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been commonly used for treating osteoarthritis in Asia for centuries. This study aimed to conduct a large-scale pharmaco-epidemiologic study and evaluate the frequency and patterns of CHM used in treating osteoarthritis in Taiwan. A complete database (total 22,520,776 beneficiaries) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) outpatient claims offered by the National Health Insurance program in Taiwan for the year 2002 was employed for this research. Patients with osteoarthritis were identified according to the diagnostic code of the International Classification of Disease among claimed visiting files. Corresponding prescription files were analyzed, and an association rule was applied to evaluate the co-prescription of CHM for treating osteoarthritis. There were 20,059 subjects who visited TCM clinics for osteoarthritis and received a total of 32,050 CHM prescriptions. Subjects between 40 and 49 years of age comprised the largest number of those treated (19.2%), followed by 50-59 years (18.8%) and 60-69 years group (18.2%). In addition, female subjects used CHMs for osteoarthritis more frequently than male subjects (female: male = 1.89: l). There was an average of 5.2 items prescribed in the form of either an individual Chinese herb or formula in a single CHM prescription for osteoarthritis. Du-zhong (Eucommia bark) was the most commonly prescribed Chinese single herb, while Du-huo-ji-sheng-tang was the most commonly prescribed Chinese herbal formula for osteoarthritis. According to the association rule, the most commonly prescribed formula was Du-huo-ji-sheng-tang plus Shen-tong-zhu-yu-tang, and the most commonly prescribed triple-drug combination was Du-huo-ji-sheng-tang, Gu-sui-pu (Drynaria fortune (Kunze) J. Sm.), and Xu-Duan (Himalaya teasel). Nevertheless, further clinical trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these CHMs for treating osteoarthritis. This study conducted a large scale pharmaco-epidemiology survey of Chinese herbal medicine use in OA patients by analyzing the NHIRD in Taiwan in year 2002.BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 03/2014; 14(1):91. · 1.88 Impact FactorThis article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched formatRG Format enables you to read in context with side-by-side figures, citations, and feedback from experts in your field.

ABSTRACT: Radix Dipsaci (RD), the dried root of Dipsacus asper, is commonly used as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of bone diseases and functions in strengthening bone and healing bone fractures. Nevertheless, the high polarity, non chromophores and low abundance of multiple compounds in this plant bring difficulty for their isolation and structural determination by traditional chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, which hindered the use of RD in clinical practice and retarded the process of RD modernization. In this work, a sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS) was employed to rapidly separate and identify the multiple minor constituents in RD. Separation was performed an Agilent poroshell 120 EC-C18 column (2.1mm×100mm, i.d., 2.7μm) with 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase under gradient conditions. As a result, 36 major constituents including dipsacus saponins, iridoid glycosides and caffeoyl quinic acid derivatives were identified or tentatively characterized from the RD, 11 of which had not been previously reported to the best of our knowledge. In conclusion, the HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS is feasible and credible technique to separate and identify the constituents in complex matrices of traditional Chinese medicines.Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis 05/2014; 98C:120-129. · 2.83 Impact Factor

"Joy to your soul" reads a note next to a newspaper clipping in a scrapbook belonging to Joy McLean Bosfield (_PHONE_), a musician, educator, and entrepreneur who called Washington, DC home between 1962 and 1985. Joy is a consistent theme in two scrapbooks that she donated to the Anacostia Community Museum. Photos, plane tickets, programs, posters, and poetry chronicle a musical career that took her from New Jersey to Broadway, and then around the world in the 1940s and 1950s. Additional materials from later in her career include a long letter to curator Portia James. Her editorial expertise is evident in lyrical and sometimes funny explanations of how elements of her story connect.
Explore Joy McLean Bosfield's scrapbooks, transcribed by Smithsonian digital volunteers. Look for her given name, Joy L. Mearimore, in concert programs from the 1940s, and her first stage name, Joy Merrimore, in the Broadway playbill for Memphis Bound!, in which she played Eulalia. She stars as Joy McLean, first in Great Britain in the late 1940s and early 1950s and then on tour with the international production of Porgy and Bessin the early to mid-1950s. Decades later in the District, she directs her next namesake, the McLean Bosfield Vocal Studios.
Her annotations provide a guide to understanding her life's journey and insight into her skill as an educator and mentor. The Joy McLean Bosfield Papers also include phonograph records and archival materials from later in her career. In a long letter to curator Portia James accompanying her papers, McLean Bosfield's editorial expertise is evident in her lyrical explanation of how elements of her story connect.

The Fast and the Furious Wiki
The Fast and the Furious Wiki:Article Conventions
358pages on
this wiki
Add New Page
Article Conventions is a more specific detailing of the Manual of Style for The Fast and the Furious Wiki, the latter being a general overview of article consistency. Article Conventions details how specific articles should be structured and followed from this point onward by all editors for The Fast and the Furious Wiki.
Character biographies
Character biographies should be separated by a series of one heading and several sub-headings (that use these specific terminologies, not "Through the Series" or other some such titles) such as:
Primary Article
Following the brief descriptor of the article, the following below should be established.
===Early Life==
===Film Name===
Description of specific character events in the film
Character Traits specific to the character.
Unique abilities specific to the character.
==Known Inconsistencies==
This section is placed before trivia and will note continuity errors created in the film regarding the actions or situation of the characters. This is not a place for "movie goofs" in the sense of things physically overlooked by production of the film during filming.
The trivia section should always become before the gallery heading.
Gallery Subpages
Below is a template for the character galleries that will create a subpage for the character articles. Images for character galleries (like most things on the wiki) must be of a standard of high quality, up to 500, 800 to 1280 pixels or more. Images under 250 or so pixels that aren't being used as profile images for the infobox are regarded as low quality and will be deleted. More so, please reframe from uploading images with nonsense names like "vlscaps18828282", black bars that indicate letterbox and always make sure the images are not fan art or any other kind of manipulation.
Additionally, please reframe from uploading camcorder quality images or screeners from the films prior to the movie's official release.
{{GalleryBox|Character Name}}
Quote Subppages
Below is a template for the character dialog that will create a subpage for character quotes. Please note, when you're adding quotes, add the proper quotes under the correct heading or leave the quote off the subpage until you can find a source. Also, the quote page is not a place for uploading massive blocks of character dialog. This is not a page for transcripts, so please do not treat them such. Contributions resembling transcripts will be deleted. Also, please mind the established manual of style established for quote subpages that have been created (See: Dominic Toretto/Quotes).
{{QuoteBox|Character Name}}
Car List
==Vehicles Driven==
This section refers to the number of cars the character has driven in the series or owns personally. For details on formatting, see: Dominic Toretto.
Additional citation. This is not a trivia section, so do not add trivia under this heading.
Citation should here below notes. If you do not know how make references please see the References page for more information.
Additionally character biographies should avoid referencing the name of the film as much as possible unless it is avoidable (such as explaining the presence of Han's death in Fast and Furious 6 when it occurred in Tokyo Drift). In other words never start any aspect of a paragraph or sentence with "In [insert film name here]" or use terms like "in the climax of the film", "at the end/start of the film". The article should be written in third person, past tense. See the manual of style for more details.
Car Articles
The nature of car biographies isn't dissimilar from character biographies. However, the one major difference is that the descriptions and headings should be specific to the car. Information regarding the model, make and year of cars used in the film should be specific to the film. These are not Wikipedia pages, so information regarding the specifications of the car should come directly from:
 - The films themselves
 - The official guide written in 2006,
 - And major car websites that have done featured articles on the production of the cars, like Edmunds, Hot Rod, TopSeed, and others.
General information that does not retain to the model, year and make of the cars themselves will be removed.
===Film Name===
This second refers to what happened with the car during the films it has appeared in. Make as specific to the car as possible otherwise it turns into a character biography.
Additionally, when writing the biography sections for car articles (and subsequently Character and Location articles), do not use out-of-universe descriptors like this:
"Another 1970 Road Runner appears briefly as a protagonist car in Fast & Furious (2009), driven by Letty Ortiz. On this occasion the car was destroyed, being flipped over multiple times and then it was set alight by Fenix Calderon, who tells Dom "the last time I saw it, it was burning". The car in Tokyo Drift is not the same as the one in Fast & Furious, since Letty's Road Runner is destroyed, which happens prior to the events of Tokyo Drift."
Plymouth Road Runner, The Fast and the Furious Wiki
Instead, format the description of the car and the events it was involved in-universe, like so:
"The 1970 Dodge Charger R/T was kept inside the garage of the Toretto House, was built by Dominic and his father in his youth. When his father was killed in a stock race accident by Kenny Linder, Dominic refused to drive the Charger because he was afraid of it. When Brian O'Conner became integrated into the crew and even began dating Dominic's sister, Mia Toretto, Dominic led him to the garage and showed him the Charger. The car is famed for its incredible power at 900 horsepower and holding a record 1/4 mile time at just nine seconds flat, set by Dom's father at the Los Angeles County Raceway."
1970 Dodge Charger R/T, The Fast and the Furious Wiki
This section refers to the details of the car referred to in the movie, mentioned in the official car guide from 2006, or the details explained from the production of the movie taken from articles. Please note that not all cars will have coverage or information on their specifications, so please, if there is no information to be obtained for the specifications do not use standard specs from a car model that was not modified for the purposes of the film. Just don't create this section if that is the case.
Trivia regarding to the car as it pertains to its appearance in the film and its production.
Unlike the character biographies, car articles do not need a subpage for their visual aids. Instead they will be placed below the trivia section (like Character biographies) and will be visuals taken from the film, or photoshoots taken for the film in specifics. In other words, images from the model of the car in general like you would find on a Honda, Dodge or Ford official website will not be accepted. Also please reframe from personal seller and owner photographs found in google searches as we do not have permission from the users themselves to upload them onto the wiki.
Videos of the car will be clips and scenes taken from the film and production of the film.
Location Articles
When creating article names for specific locations, please note that the state of the city or country is not necessary to add in the article's title.
Again, this is not Wikipedia. No one will be confused as to which "Los Angeles" or "Tokyo" you're talking about here, so it not necessary for additional subtitle in the article.
Again the structure for the Location article is not dissimilar to car biographies only the core section of the article is.
==Film Name==
Trivia section for information relevant to the location as it pertains to the film.
Images specific to the film the location appears in.

When an organizational provider, such as a county Mental Health Plan has multiple Medi-Cal provider numbers and multiple NPIs, which NPIs should they register with Medi-Cal?
Medi-Cal requires providers to register an NPI with each of their current Medi-Cal provider numbers. If a provider has more Medi-Cal provider numbers than NPIs, then an NPI should be associated with each Medi-Cal provider number to avoid interruption in claim payments. An organization that is not a facility licensed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and has more subpart NPIs to register than existing Medi-Cal or CHDP provider numbers must submit the Medi-Cal Supplemental Changes (DHCS 6209) form to the Provider Enrollment Division (PED). For providers licensed by the CDPH, subpart NPIs may be registered in accordance with the instruction provided in the NPI Registration for Facilities article. Providers enrolled in different Medi-Cal programs, such as Family PACT and Cancer Detection Programs (CDP), are not required to obtain separate NPIs for each program.
- When an organizational provider, such as a county Mental Health Plan has multiple Medi-Cal provider numbers and multiple NPIs, which NPIs should they register with Medi-Cal?
- After December 17, 2007, will Medi-Cal reject claims billed with other provider identification numbers such as a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)?
- When a facility has two provider numbers, how is Medi-Cal going to determine between them when both have the same taxonomy code?

BY KORIR JUMA,NAIROBI,27TH APRIL 2018-The Government has assured the residents of Nairobi and those who rely on Ndakaini dam for water supply that they will not be affected by low levels of water in the dam.It says Ndakaini Dam only acts as a buffer storage and not the main source of water for Nairobi County.
This follows public outcry over the continued water rationing in the city, despite the ongoing heavy rains in most parts of the country.
Ndakaini Dam water levels remain low, but Water Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui says it only supplements water levels in River Chania during the dry season, as the main source for Ngethu Treatment Waterworks.
The dam draws its water from three rivers hailing from the Aberdare Ranges and that is where the problem is, according to the Cabinet Secretary.
"All the dam levels are entirely dependent on recharge from river water which is contributed by rainfall in the Aberdare catchment and as such, the degradation of the catchment and climatic changes have been a contributor to low rain levels as recorded through the metrological departments over the past a few years," the CS said.He refuted claims that the dam water was being lost to cracks and open valves.
He told journalists Friday that Nairobi operates on a water deficit but that is set to drastically change once the Northern corridor water tunnel is functional in a year's time.
Once functional, the Northern collector tunnel will add some relief to the deficit with an additional of 140 million cubic meters in a day.
The tunnel will be operational next year.
But before then, he said there is no cause for alarm since Sasumua and Ruiru dams combined have a storage capacity of 89 million cubic meters.
Nairobi county needs a total of 770 million cubic meters of water a day but the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company only manages to supply about 520 million cubic meters with a deficit of 250 million cubic meters.
When functional, the Ndakaini Dam produces 430,000m3 per day of water which is about 84 per cent of a total supply of water to Nairobi residents.
The dam is operated by the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company.

The House system at Bushey Meads builds on the strong, caring, family atmosphere that exists at the school. Whilst students are very much part of a 'horizontal' year group, they also enjoy 'vertical' house assemblies and special house activities throughout the year alongside students from Years 7 – 13 who are in their house. Student Leadership opportunities are available through the new House system and students are encouraged to become House Representatives, House and Deputy House Captains and be part of the Student Parliament that helps to run the school.
The House system theme is trees and the colours and leaders of the Houses are as follows:
The House system is designed to give a sense of identity and belonging to students within the larger school community. Each student remains in the same House and Tutor Group throughout the whole of his or her school career.
The Houses play an important part in the life of the school. They are the basis for competition in work, sporting events, drama and music. They are also meaningful and important social units in themselves. There are House Assemblies every half term with the older students helping to support the younger students in the same House. The Head of House and Form Tutors strive to develop positive attitudes and self-awareness amongst the students. During the week of House Assemblies we also operate a "vertical tutoring" system.

text: Black People Called "Mixed-Race" Seen As More Beautiful Eric Ferreri Science & Medicine Just the suggestion that an African-American person is of mixed-race heritage makes that person more attractive to others, research shows. This holds true even if the people in question aren't actually of multiracial heritage, according to a new study published in the journal Review of Black Political Economy. The simple perception of exoticism sways people to see multiracial blacks as better-looking, says study author Robert L. Reece, a doctoral candidate in sociology at Duke. "Being exotic is a compelling idea," says Reece. "So people are attracted to a certain type of difference. It's also partially just racism—the notion that black people are less attractive, so being partially not-black makes you more attractive." Reece used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, examining the results of in-person interviews of 3,200 black people conducted by people of varying races. The interviewees were asked a series of questions that included their racial backgrounds. The questioners then ranked each person's attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the least attractive and 5 being the most attractive. The interviewees who identified as mixed race were given an average attractiveness rating of 3.74; those who identified as black were given a 3.47 score, a statistically significant difference that points to the power of perception. The study controlled for a number of factors such as gender, age, skin tone, hair color, and eye color. "Race is more than we think it is," Reese says. "It's more than physical characteristics and ancestry and social class. The idea that you're a certain race shapes how people view you." Further, attractiveness matters. Previous research has drawn correlations between physical beauty and professional success. The findings bolster a viewpoint that lighter-skinned blacks are considered more physically striking than their darker-skinned counterparts. But the research also found that blacks with darker skin who identified as mixed-race were considered better looking than those with lighter skin who identified simply as black. "This further emphasizes the power of suggestion: Being told a person is of mixed race—regardless of what that person looks like—makes them appear more attractive. "It's a loaded cognitive suggestion when you say 'I'm not just black, I'm also Native American,' for example," Reece says. "It changes the entire dynamic." Reece says he conducted the study to examine the connection between multiraciality and "color." "People tend to assume that historical multiraciality is at least partially responsible for the broad range of color among black people. I've even noticed some people in black communities casually using the terms "mixed" and "light skinned" interchangeably. "So I wanted to begin an empirical investigation into the contemporary links between the two and how they combine to shape people's life experiences. Attractiveness is one part of that."

Students will understand what businesses are, that a marketplace exists whenever buyers and sellers exchange goods and services, and that there is competition in the market place if you have more than one seller of the same item or similar items.
- Explain that businesses make money by selling items or providing a service to a consumer.
- Explain that a market exists when buyers and sellers interact.
- Explain that competition exists in the marketplace if there are multiple sellers of same item or similar items.
- Identify business competitors in their community.
What is Competition?
Ask your students if they have ever run a race, entered an art contest, or played in a soccer game. Explain to them that races, art contests, and soccer games are all competitions. A competition is when people try their best to do something better than other people so they can win. Today your students will learn about a different kind of competition. More specifically, they will learn about business competition.
- Interactive Activity: Students will learn about competition in business.
Smallville Yellow Pages!
- Berkley Career Center: This is the teen's online guide to business, careers, investing, and entrepreneurship, offering in-depth content with a young edge written for and by teens. In the article "Got Competition?" teen business owners discuss competition.
- Competition Pizza!: This is a great follow up lesson on competition.
What Is A Business?
A business tries to make money by selling goods or providing a service. Below is a list of a few possible businesses in your community. Ask your students if they can think of more?
- grocery stores
- clothing store
- jewelry store
- discount store
- car repair shop
- hair cutting salon
- doctor's office
- dentist's office
- accountant's office
- dry cleaners
- movie theater
Talk with your students about the market economy that exists in the United States. Buying and selling creates the marketplace. Businesses are sellers. They sell goods and services to make money. People who pay for goods and services are called buyers. Buyers and sellers come together in the marketplace.
Competition in the Marketplace
Do your students know a store that sells candy? Do they know a second, different, store that sells candy? Explain to your students that those two stores are competitors. They are competing for your money. Both stores want you to buy their candy.
When two or more businesses sell the same goods or service, they are competing for the same market. When businesses compete, they try to find ways to get you to choose them. Buyers get to choose where to spend their money. This is competition in the marketplace.
Competition in Your Community
Help your students to notice that there are competing businesses all around us.
- Burger King© and McDonalds© are two hamburger restaurants.
- Both sell soda, french fries, and hamburgers.
- Both want you to eat at their restaurant.
- Both want you to spend your money at their restaurant.
Because they sell similar items, they are called competitors.
Target©, K-Mart©, and Wal-Mart ©
- All three businesses sell clothing, food, and toys.
- All three offer low prices.
Because they sell similar items, they are called competitors. Ask your students if they can think of different examples of competitors in their community.
Burgers and Shoes!
- Burger King© sells soda, french fries, and hamburgers.
- ShoeTown sells shoes, boots, and sneakers.
- Both businesses want your money.
Burger King© only competes in the burger market with other burger sellers, trying to attract burger buyers. ShoeTown competes in the shoe market with other shoe stores, wanting shoe buyers to come to shop. So Burger King© and ShoeTown are not competitors: They do not compete in the market for the same customers.
Interactive Activity: Let's Find the Competitors!
Show your students that many businesses are listed in the yellow pages of the phone book. These businesses want people to shop at their stores. Some of the businesses have competition. Tell the students that they will look at the yellow pages for Smallville in order to identify competing businesses. Click here to look at the Smallville Yellow Pages!
As a class, discuss the following questions:
- What are businesses?
- What is the marketplace?
- Do Sears, Pizza Hut, and Joe's Car Repair shop compete in the same markets?
- If not, who does compete in those markets?
- Name competitors in your community. How do you know they are competitors?
- What are some ways competitors try to get your business?
Thank you for learning about competition in the marketplace. Some students may want to learn what teen business owners say about competition; direct them to the Berkley Career Center.
[Note to teacher: This is somewhat difficult for young students to find based on the way the YoungBiz site is constructed. You will need to find the article, "Got Competition?" The easiest way to locate it is to go the home page (linked above). Once there, use the YoungBiz search engine and type in "got competition". This will take you to a list of articles with those words in it. The piece you are looking for is titled, "Got Competition?"]
Have students print out their answers to the Smallville Yellow Pages interactive activity for review.
Teachers can follow up this lesson with the EconEdLink lesson titled Competition: Pizza!
"This lesson may be one of my favorite lessons that I have reviewed. I feel that the lesson is completely developmentally appropriate. I do not think I would need to cut out any of the information and I feel that it is a good length. I love the examples given to help demonstrate what competition is and how market competition is explained. The interactive website is also very good for this lesson. I think that it is a positive that it only gives two choices for the children to make the correct match rather than many choices. This better ensures their success and understand! Two thumbs up for this lesson!"

FC: The Adventures of Mike and Sulley Ginger Odum, Ivonne Ramirez, Laura Bellato and Autora Lorimer
1: Once upon a time, in the city of Monstropolis, there lived two friends named Mike and Sulley. They worked together in a factory called Monsters Inc.
2: One morning Mike decided to stop at Sulley's house on his way to work... Mike is standing outside his door facing the sunrise. He immediately turns 52 degrees north and walks 27 feet to Sulley's house. From thier original heading, Mike and Sulley turn 140 degrees south towards the factory. What's the distance Mike would have walked if he decided to go straight to the factory from his house? | Chapter 1 | The Factory
3: Solution ASA: | Mike would have walked 17.36 feet if he wanted to go straight to the factory.
4: Chapter 2 | A Door | Sulley and Mike arrive at their workplace, Monsters, Inc., a huge corporate building that houses the power plant... Mike needs to order Sulley a new door but doesn't have the distance number to type in. The door will fly in 4.5 meters diagonally down, and then drop straight down 6.8 meters to the ground. Considering that the door's angle of depression to Sulley is 15.5 degrees, what is the direct distance from Sulley and Mike to the door's origin?
5: Solution SSA 1 Triangle: | Mike can now record Sulley's distance from the door to be 10.9 meters. | A | C | B
6: Chapter 3 | The Child | Mike and Sulley's job is to scare little children. When they open a door, they can walk into a child's bedroom in the human world. Sulley, who is 72 inches tall, creeps into the room and stands 23 inches away from the child laying in bed. He leans over the child at an angle of 83 degrees. In order to get the most scare out of the child, the glare distance between Sulley's eyes and the child's eyes must be 72.86 inches. Is the distance between their eyes 72.86 inches?
7: Solution SAS: | B | A | C | Yes, glare distance between their eyes is exactly 72.86 inches.
8: Chapter 4 | Boo | Sulley goes back to get Mike's paperwork and finds one door still on the scare floor. Curious, he opens it and is frightened by a little girl (Boo) who sneaks out of her room and onto the scare floor. Sulley quickly puts her back in her room, but she sneaks out again. Sulley hears the evil Randall coming, and stuffs the toddler into a suitcase and sneaks her into the locker room. When he goes to show Mike, he sees that Boo is running away. The monsters must go on a chase to find her before Randall finds out. Sulley sees Boo escaping southwest 15 feet away from him and then sees her turn east down a hallway, making a 32 degree angle. In order to catch her, they must split up to find the fastest way. There are two hallways that branch off from where Sulley and Mike are standing, which extend 12 feet out. What would be the distance Boo runs if Sulley catches her vs. Mike catching her?
9: H2 | H1 | ft | ft | B | C | A | B
10: Solution SSA 2 Triangles: | If Sulley catches her first (H1), Boo would have run 3.73 feet. But if Mike catches her first (H2) Boo would have run 21.71 feet.
11: Triangle Solution 2 | Triangle Solution 1
12: Chapter 5 | Moving Doors | The evil Randall finds out the child is in the factory and tries to kidnap her. Sulley, Mike and Boo are now trying to get away from Randall and decide to jump on one of the moving doors. Randall has also jumped on a door and is 12 feet away from the group's door. The angle between Randall's door and the next door coming from the north is 45 degrees, and the angle between Randall's door and the group's door is 30 degrees. In order to correctly time their getaway, the group needs to find the exact distance from their door to the new door.
13: Solution AAS: | The new door is 23.2m away! | C | A | B
14: Chapter 6 | The Chase | The chase continues with Randall getting closer and closer to Mike, Sulley and Boo, and is now only 11.6 feet away. The group has just jumped 10 feet with a 40 degree angle of elevation to the next moving door and goes into the room to hide. Randall is so tired from the chase, he only has energy left to jump 6 feet towards that same door. Does Randall make it to the door?
15: Solution SSA no triangle: | No, Randall doesn't make it and falls!! Oh darn.
16: Chapter 7 | Scream Extractor | Randall has entered a dark room and thinks he has just kidnapped Boo. However, he finds later that he accidentally snatched Mike. Randall decides to turn his scream extractor machine on Mike unless he tells him Boo's location. Mike tries to create a plan to avoid the machine. He is 52 inches away from Randall. The scream extractor, located above the monsters, is 46 inches away from Randall, and 73 inches away from Mike. Mike needs to find the angle of elevation to the machine in order to escape its power.
17: Solution SSS: | The angle of elevation to the machine is 38.79 degrees. | A | B | C
18: THE END | Mike manages to escape and meets up with Boo and Sulley. Together they return to Boo's room, tuck her into bed, and then shred the door. And they all lived happily ever after. And remember children...the moral of this story is to keep your math skills in tip top shape so that you can solve your own life problems!

Kamarupa, also called Pragjyotisha, was the first historical kingdom in Assam that existed between the 4th to the 12th century CE. Ruled by three dynasties from their capitals in present-day Guwahati and Tezpur, it covered the entire Brahmaputra river valley and, at times, North Bengal and parts of Bangladesh. Though the historical kingdom disappeared by 12th century to be replaced by smaller political entities, the notion of Kamarupa persisted and ancient and medieval chroniclers continued to call this region by this name. Coins of en:Alauddin Hussain Shah called the region Kamru or Kamrud.

Cuisine of French Polynesia is dominated by seafood, both raw and cooked, fished from local lagoons and Pacific waters. They are prepared in a variety of ways-grilled, chaud-froid, carpaccio, tartare, sashimi, or sushi. In addition to fish, visitors will also find seafood varieties like giant clam, sea urchin, octopus, and squid. Other typical ingredients used in Polynesian cooking include things like suckling pig, fish (mahi mahi, tuna, other catches of the day), chicken, crab, fei (a Polynesian banana) and banana leaves, shrimp, taro, umara (sweet potato), uru (fruit of the breadfruit tree), ufi (a kind of yam), and fafa (Tahitian spinach). Many dishes combine ingredients like these to be wrapped in banana leaves and cooked inside a traditional underground over called the ahima'a. Skewers of grilled meats, like beef and lamb, are also common, often served with mustard and barbeque sauce. Much of the cuisine here will additionally have a French spin from the island nation's connections to France, as well as Chinese influence from immigration across the Pacific Ocean.

Forestry Minister Michelle O'Neill has launched a new Tree Safety Management Practice Guide aimed at maintaining a safe environment for visitors to Forest Service woodland.
Publishing the document Minister O'Neill said: "Our forests are a vital community resource and recent research has indicated that there are approximately 4.7 million visits to Forest Service woodlands annually.
"We are publishing the Tree Safety Management Guide because we want to keep forest visitors informed about how they may be affected by our tree safety management activity. It is also a useful source of advice to other forest owners and managers with similar obligations."
The Minister added that tree safety management does not seek to eliminate risk but to reduce it to an acceptable level.
She said: "People enjoy trees in what they regard as 'natural' or 'unmanaged' places and will accept a degree of risk because of the value they bestow and the pleasure they derive from visiting or participating in leisure activities in our woodlands."


I just started working with Docker and Kubernetes and I've been watching a lot of stacks, in which some people build nginx+php in a single image and some build an image with nginx and another one with php (mounting the same path and enclosing both containers in the same deployment in Kubernetes).
What would be the advantages of building two docker images instead of installing both nginx+php in the same one?
PHP with nginx is usually done using php-fpm which is a separate processus.
Keeping the core idea of docker of one process (see end of answer for more details on this point) per container this makes sense to have the nginx process and php-fpm process in separate containers.
As the communication between nginx and php-fpm arise through fastcgi the php-fpm container can also be on a separated host and this allows using a cluster of php-fpm containers behind nginx.
After the wall of comment here's a little more background, docker documentation have paragraph about the idea that a container should have only one concern.
The main idea of a linux container (lxc) is to run a process in an isolated namespace at the cpu and memory level, docker add on top of this an isolation at the filesystem level.
The advantage is that the compromission of a process within this namespace won't allow to read memory of other processes and as such should prevent other compromission on the host.
While talking about nginx and php-fpm, they work in pair but each has it's own concern, nginx will do the HTTP part, routing, headers validation, etc. and php-fpm will do the code interpretation and return the html part to nginx. While it's usual to have both together serving a single application that's not mandatory.
Depending on context it may be easier to have a container including the whole stack for an application, on a developer workstation for exemple. But ideally for production use, try to keep the fewer interaction inside the container, having separated processes in the same container with supervisord brings its share of problem in term of zombie process and log handling (exemple story here for illustration purpose only).
So finally I'll quote the docker page with some emphasis:
While "one process per container" is frequently a good rule of thumb, it is not a hard and fast rule. Use your best judgment to keep containers as clean and modular as possible.
There's no "silver bullet rule" which apply to everything, it's always a balance between the complexity within the container and the complexity orchestrating the containers themselves.

 The core idea is actually "Each container should have only one concern", and "it is not necessarily true that there should be only one operating system process per container". docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/eng-image/… – user2640621 Sep 20 '17 at 10:41
 - I admit it's a shortcut to strike the idea, nginx is not a single monolithic process nor is php-fpm, but replace process by concern in my answer and it is still OK nginx does the routing, php-fpm does the interpretation – Tensibai Sep 20 '17 at 10:54

 The answer is usually one service one port per container, not really one process. On the other hand, if you have multiple running processes in a container, you need to consider some init process, service management, restarts, independent logging, independent package dependencies, it gets a bit more complicated. And sometimes 1:1 mapping turns into 1:n mapping when scaling. – Jiri Klouda Sep 20 '17 at 16:26
 - _USER_ playing devil's advocate: so a apache in front of a rails app using a postgres DB should go within the same container? That's just one service in an external point of view after all. – Tensibai Sep 20 '17 at 18:27

 _USER_ answer amended, I hope it's detailed enough to convey all the points raised in comments. – Tensibai Sep 22 '17 at 8:34
There is no meaningful benefit that outweighs having to manage two containers. As long as you have a 1:1 relationship between the processes and they serve a single purpose, put them in the same container.
 - Do you mean different images on the same container? – CarlosAS Sep 20 '17 at 13:06
 - How will you start nginx and php-fpm in the same container? Please add an example. – 030 Sep 20 '17 at 14:49

 _USER_ here an example – CarlosAS Sep 20 '17 at 15:24
 - 2
 _USER_ Very valid exemple for dev purposes, I'd block this kind of things for production use (running supervisord within a container can turn in a footgun quite easily) – Tensibai Sep 20 '17 at 17:41
 - I disagree with that answer, with this reasoning a apache server with mod security talking to a tomcat talking to a postgresql server hosting only one app should fit within a single container. – Tensibai Sep 20 '17 at 18:30
Actually, one missing point here is the horizontal scalability. There's an article from Jamie Alquiza long time ago addressed this:
In short, you scale your php-fpm horizontally for reaching higher performance. Scaling Nginx+php-fpm together does not bring you any benefit. I encourage you do some stress testing (e.g. Tsung, Gatling, etc.; please don't do Apache ab, that is a very old toy) yourself to verify what the article stated. I personally have several real world experiences proved the article is true in general.
But there're two drawback (maybe not for Kubernetes) for bare metal machines / VMs:
 1. How to configure Nginx dynamically discover php-fpm container changes? This is the easy part.
 2. How do we share the same volume / file systems after scaling? Nginx and php-fpm containers should read exact the same content to reach consistency. This leaves you the least puzzle part (and most fun part) to work on.
EDITED: Now it's almost half of year 2019. Old model, php-fpm+nginx in the same pod, has different usage. If you're familiar with service mesh, then nginx (or what so call Nginmesh) serves as a sidecar to handle east-west bound traffic. East-west bound traffic mostly used to authenticate among services, or other fancy functionalities, whereas pure php-fpm could not do that along.
The advantage is : you can run multiple php-fpm containers in back-end, we call it PHP cluster, via number of ports. Example port 9000, 9001, 9002.. and so on

The new Aquavar e-ABII pump controller is a constant pressure booster system from Goulds Water Technology, a Xylem brand, is specifically designed for customers of municipal water districts with low water pressure, or if they are boosting from a storage tank.
The Aquavar e-ABII provides an economical answer for both residential and commercial customers who need to increase their water pressure when water demand is high. As water flows to a house, it loses some of its pressure to friction inside the pipe. The higher the flow, the more the friction reduces the homeowner's water pressure. This flow increase can be caused by more homes and businesses on a given water main, the size of a piping system or increased water use inside the house.
As water use increases, the Aquavar e-ABII changes pump speed to keep line pressure constant. Large supply tanks are eliminated and up to 50 percent of the energy required by a full speed pump is saved.
Aquavar e-ABII is available with a range of flow rates to handle residential homes, irrigation systems and office buildings.
For many customers of municipal water districts, low or inconsistent water pressure can be a problem when they have any combination of multiple bathrooms, irrigation systems, dishwashers, washing machines, pools and spas. In addition, peak water demand on the line can reduce main line pressure available. Homes built on hills or at the end of the water line are very susceptible to this problem. Aquavar e-ABII aims to solve all these problems by supplying constant pressure.
Xylem, based in Rye Brook, N.Y., serves the public utility, residential, commercial and agricultural markets with a variety of pump and water treatment products. The company has about 12,500 employees worldwide. For more information, visit _URL_.

Schlumberger Foundation Awards Announcement for the 2023-2024 Faculty for the Future Fellowships
The Schlumberger Foundation is an independent nonprofit entity that supports science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Since its inception, the Foundation has focused on funding
a variety of programs in scientific educational all over the world.
Recognizing the link between science, technology, and socioeconomic development as well as the role of education in realizing individual potential, we developed Faculty for the Future, our flagship program.
This community of women in STEM from developing countries grows every year, and is connecting via Forums, both online and in-person.
Faculty for the Future
The program's long-term goal is to accelerate gender equality in STEM by generating conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific careers through alleviating some of the barriers they encounter
when enrolling in STEM disciplines. The program is committed to gender parity in science in the interests of sustainable development and recognizes that full access to and participation in a STEM
curriculum is essential for the empowerment of women and girls. By accelerating gender equality in STEM, the talent and capacities of these women can be developed for the benefit of their local communities,
regions and nations.
The program awards fellowships for advanced research in STEM at leading research institutes abroad. Faculty for the Future Fellows are expected to return to their home countries upon completion of their
studies to contribute to the economic, social and technological advancement of their home regions by strengthening the STEM teaching and research faculties of their home institutions as well as through
their leadership in science-based entrepreneurship. They are also expected to contribute to the public sector where their newly acquired technical and scientific skills can help provide evidence-based
support for STEM policy making, including topics of gender representation.
This program acts as a catalyst for these women to further tap into their potential. Through heightened motivation, sharpened self-awareness and a lasting passion for science they in turn capture the
imagination of other women and girls around them to regard scientific pursuits as a necessary means towards advancement and growth.
Since its launch in 2004, 863 women from 90 countries have received Faculty for the Future fellowships for PhD and Post-Doctorate STEM research programs. Through interactive online tools and in-person
meetings, the program provides a platform for these women to take joint action in identifying and unravelling the impediments that are holding back equal opportunities in STEM education and careers
in their local communities and home countries.

This is light, fast and simple to understand mathematical parser designed in one class, which receives as input a mathematical expression (System.String) and returns the output value (System.Double). For example, if you input string is "√(625)+25*(3/3)" then parser return double value — 50.
The idea was to create a string calculator from educational goals.
How it work
More look in the code, I tried to explain the work of the parser code in the comments and how it can be changed and extended.
Convert to RPN:
* Input operators are replaced by the corresponding token (its necessary to distinguish unary from binary).
Using the code
public static void Main()
MathParser parser = new MathParser();
string s1 = "pi+5*5+5*3-5*5-5*3+1E1";
string s2 = "sin(cos(tg(sh(ch(th(100))))))";
bool isRadians = false;
double d1 = parser.Parse(s1, isRadians);
double d2 = parser.Parse(s2, isRadians);
Console.WriteLine(d1); Console.WriteLine(d2); Console.ReadKey(true);
Ariphmetical operators :
- () — parenthesis;
- + — plus (a + b);
- - — minus (a - b);
- * — multiplycation symbol (a * b);
- / — divide symbol (a / b);
- ^ — degree symbol (a ^ b);
- √(), sqrt() — square root ( √(a) ).
- tg(x); //tan(x)
- ctg(x). //cotan(x)
- exp(x) or e^x — exponential function;
- ln(x), (a)log(b) — (natural) logarithm;
- abs(x) — absolute of a number.
- pi — 3._PHONE_...;
- e — 2.71828183....
Arguments of the trigonometric functions can be expressed as radians or degrees
example (as radians):
Work with any char decimal separator in real number (regional settings).
New operators, functions and constants can be easily added to the code.
This parser is very basic (special designed in 1 file such class), convenient for the further implementation, expansion and modification.
Points of Interest
I better understand the parsers and learned about the reverse-polish notation.
- 2012/05/09: released the source code (1_0);
- 2012/05/15: optimized and modified code (1_1);
- 2012/06/07: optimized parser (1_2);
- 2012/09/11: some refactoring in code, added unit tests (1_2a);
- 2012/12/02: improved code (1_2b).
- 2013/01/27: improved code (1_3)

What is in this article?:
- Minimize Heat Damage, Spoilage, Fuel Consumption When Drying Corn
- Reduce possibility of heat damage
Even though drying conditions are excellent now, some producers may be faced with drying high-moisture or immature corn this fall. To minimize spoilage during drying, do not use natural air or low-temperature drying for corn with moisture contents of more than 21%, according to Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University Extension Service grain drying expert. Natural air drying doesn't work well in late fall because the air's drying capacity is extremely poor at temperatures below about 35° F.
When outdoor temperatures average near or below freezing, Hellevang recommends cooling the corn to 20-25° F for storage this winter and finishing drying in early April. Natural air drying is the most energyand cost-effective method of drying at that point.
Limit the corn depth to about 20-22 ft. to obtain the proper airflow rate for drying. An airflow rate of 1-1.25 cubic ft./minute (cfm)/bushel is necessary to dry the corn before deterioration occurs. Turn fans off during extended periods of rain, snow or fog to minimize the amount of moisture the fans pull into the bin.
Adding heat doesn't help dry wetter corn and increases drying speed only slightly. The primary effect of adding heat is reducing the corn's moisture content unless you use a stirring device.
If high-temperature drying, use the maximum drying temperature that won't damage the corn. That increases the dryer's capacity (bushels dried per hour) and reduces energy use. Removing a pound of water will require about 20% less energy at a drying air temperature of 200° F than at 150° F. Follow the dryer company's recommendation, but generally, drying temperatures should be 210-230° F.
"Be aware that excessively high drying temperatures may result in a lower final test weight and increased breakage susceptibility," Hellevang warns. "In addition, as the drying time increases with high-moisture corn, the corn becomes more susceptible to browning."

Subject: bug in Belize
Location: near San Ignacio, Belize
January 25, 2016 4:06 am
I saw this bug while in Belize last november. I was walking through the jungle at night near the town of San Ignacio. It is about 5 centimeters long en was sitting on a plant hanging over water. No idea what it is. Hope you can tell me! Thanks!
Though you found it in the jungle, this Centipede is a member of the order Scutigeromorpha and that orders members are commonly called House Centipedes. We haven't the necessary skills to identify your species, but there is an introduced species, Scutigera coleoptrata, found in North America that has adapted quite well to living in homes where it helps to keep populations of undesirable insects and arthropods in check. Of that species, BugGuide notes: "Mostly encountered indoors in damp areas such as bathrooms, cellars, and crawl spaces. It will venture beyond these areas and is often seen quickly scurrying across floors or climbing a wall. Outdoors, they live under logs, rocks, and similar moist protected places." It is our understanding that in some parts of the world, House Centipedes are found in caves. Your individual on a branch is quite unusual.

Erected 1825-32, its architecture symbolizes the religious beliefs of its builder, David Willson, born in New York State 1778. Disowned by the Society of Friends (Quakers), he established hereabouts the Children of Peace (Davidites) in 1812, a small sect which retained some Quaker mysticism while placing great emphasis on ceremony, music and practical education. Most Davidites were strong political reformers and several joined Mackenzie's force in the Rebellion of 1837. Following Willson's death 1866, the strength of the sect diminished and its last service was held here 1886.

This elegant structure stands as testament to the faith and good works of the Children of Peace. In _PHONE_ master carpenters Ebenezer and John Doan constructed it to the plans of religious leader David Willson who was inspired by Biblical descriptions of Solomon's Temple and the New Jerusalem. The square plan symbolized the sect's egalitarian beliefs and cooperative principles. Once a month and on holidays the Temple was the scene of music-filled ceremonies. Its rescue from demolition in 1918 by the York Pioneer and Historical Society is an early example of historic conservation in Canada.

This building was used to film scenes in "Samuel Lount" (1985), a movie about the Rebel leader (see his plaque pages on this site and at torontoplaques.com). The film portrayed Lount as a member of the pacifist sect, but characterized his involvement in the Rebellion as unique. This plaque says support for fighting the British was common amongst members. -Wayne
