What Does a White Tailed Deer Eat
What Does a White Tailed Deer Eat?
If you're a photographer or hunter on the lookout for white-tailed deer, one of the most important questions you've probably asked yourself is what does a white tailed deer eat? Understanding the diet of this animal will make tracking white-tailed deer much easier.
White Tailed Deer are a Challenge
One of the reasons why white tailed deer are so challenging to find and hunt is the fact that they're so difficult to see. The first step you can take in finding white tailed deer is to understand their behaviors and diet.
They are herbivores, don't eat meat, and instead, they munch on vegetation.
White tailed deer enjoy grass, leaves, fungi, lichens, mushrooms, alfalfa, twigs, nuts, and fruits.
White Tailed Deer Diet
These animals generally do most of their eating in the low light, such as at dusk or dawn, or at night. This is because they find it easier to find their food under these conditions.
White Tailed Deer Avoid Mature Grass
Given that white tailed deer are herbivores, it might surprise you to learn that they prefer to stay away from mature grass. They tend to choose young vegetation and broad-leaf weeds instead. One reason for this is the fact that the deer's upper jaws have only one cartilage, while incisor teeth are found only on the lower jaw.
This means that it is challenging for white tailed deer to get ahold of hard shoots from the forest floor. They are able to chew on weeds, however, because of the molars on the upper and lower jaws.
The white tailed deer's stomach also has types of microbes that make it difficult for them to properly digest mature plants.
White Tailed Deer Eating
One interesting thing about the digestive system of white tailed deer is that at certain times of the year, the microbes inside their stomach change in significant ways. As a result, they tend to prefer fruit whenever possible at those times. Fiber and cellulose are always vital parts of the white-tailed deer's diet.
Mushrooms and Grains Eaten by White Tailed Deer
Mushrooms are among the foods you will see white tailed deer gravitate towards. Deer will find mushrooms that are rich in phosphorus, and this is especially important for male deer that grow antlers.
White tailed deer will eat foods such oats, soybeans, rye, pecans, and wheat whenever they're able to find them. These foods are useful for the animal because they are rich in carbohydrates, a specific kind of protein, and phosphorus.
White Tailed Deer Enjoy Nuts and Fruit
You'll sometimes hear people in the know refer to the fruit and nuts white tailed deer eat as mast. This includes fruit that comes from trees and shrubs. Hickory nuts, acorns, and beechnuts are referred to as hard mast. Soft mast includes berries, drupes, rose hip, some flower buds, and wild fruits.
What Do White Tail Deer Eat?
Deer like these foods because of the energy boost they provide. They are also good for antler growth and keeping the animal as warm as possible in cold weather.
What Types of Mast Do Deer Eat?
Let's take a look at some of the specific kinds of mast that white tailed deer will eat:
 - Acorns, hickory nuts, and chestnuts are important parts of the white tailed deer diet because of the carbohydrates, fats, protein, and tannins they provide. These foods help with their digestion (including proper absorption of nutrients).
 - Mulberries, plums, blackberries, and grapes provide lots of carbohydrates, which supports rapid antler growth.
 - Pears and apples provide a fantastic energy boost. These foods are also great for helping deer store as much energy as they can for the winter.
 - Woody browse is a category of food that includes buds, leaves, and twigs. Many of these foods are bits that fall off the forest trees when they dry out. Significant rain or wind can also make such food fall to the forest floor.
 - Some of the leaves and types of browse that are most common for white tailed deer to eat include white pine, yellow birch, elm, seek sumac, white cedar, oak, maple trees, hackberry, Greenbrier, and grape vines.
 - Brassica blend is a name for mustard species of forage. This grows quite quickly and can appear in various parts of the forest. Sometimes it's more common in cold weather.
 - Vegetables such as cabbage, canola, turnip, kale, cauliflower, and radish sometimes also play a part in the diet of white tailed deer.
White Tailed Deer Diet Varies by Season
The typical diet of a white tailed deer varies by season. Deer know what types of food are available at different times of year, and their movements will reflect this knowledge as they seek out the best forage available to them.
Fall
Fall is the season in which deer really feast on their food. The reason why these animals have to eat as much as they possibly can at this time of year is the necessity of fattening up for the winter.
White Tailed Deer Eating Apples
During the fall, deer are most likely to gravitate towards foods such as pears and apples as they're rich in carbs and most orchards will have a bountiful supply of rotting fruit below their trees.
They will also seek out fatty nuts such as pecans and peanuts. White tailed deer will also try to eat a lot of mushrooms and fungi in the fall. These foods are rich in vitamins and carbohydrates.
Winter
One of the reasons why white tailed deer eat so much during the fall is because of the lack of food available during the winter season. Some foods you might see deer eating during the winter include acorns and hickory nuts, as well as woody plants.
White tailed deer browse for their food. They do not graze in the way that sheep or cows do. This is why deer aren't compelled to find food hidden by the snow. They're able to do this when required, though.
Spring
Deer find relief in the spring with a new abundance of food. In this season, deer will be especially attracted to foods rich in carbohydrates and phosphorus. Examples include mushrooms, fruits, and nuts.
What Do White Tailed Deer Eat During Spring - White Tailed Deer Eating Grass
Deer will also eat young grass a great deal at this time of year. There are also many berries and shrubs that will attract white tailed deer.
Summer
White tailed deer tend to eat a great deal during the summer. They especially focus on fruits, grains, and nuts. Tree leaves and developing weeds are also important parts of their diet during the summer.
To deal with the hot weather and help prevent dehydration, deer will spend more time near fresh water sources during the summer as well. Be aware that there will probably be potentially dangerous predators by the water too, so if you're in the forest looking for deer keep your eyes open.
How Does Their Digestive System Work?
Deer are ruminants, like cows. This means that their stomachs are comprised of four different chambers that are used in the process of food digestion. When a deer eats vegetation with high fat or sugar content (such as fungi, nuts, and fruits), digestion is easy.
Diet of White Tailed Deer
If vegetation contains cellulose, it takes quite a bit of time for the food to be digested by the enzymes in the white tailed deer's stomach. The protozoa and bacteria in the deer's digestive system are essential in fermenting the food and breaking it down in the necessary way.
The chambers of a deer's stomach are:
 - Rumen
 - Reticulum
 - Omasum
 - Abomasum
Bile is mixed into the food in the first two chambers of the stomach (the rumen and reticulum). This is what creates cud.
Cud is what the animal regurgitates, chews, and then swallows again. Once this happens, it goes through the rumen. It then goes to the omasum, which is where water is extracted.
In the last step, food goes into the last chamber. This is called the abomasum. It is there that it is passed on to the small intestine and then the food's nutrients can be absorbed by the body.
As we've learned here, there is a great deal to understand about the white tailed deer if you want to track and find it for any reason.
Now that you've answered the question "What does a white tailed deer eat?" you can seek out the areas of the forest with those food sources. With patience, the deer will come.

Donation funds organic garden at Seaside Day Camp
The city of Encinitas Parks and Recreation Department received a $1,500 donation from Healthy Day Partners to fund the initial start-up for an organic garden as part of the Seaside Day Camp. The goal of this project is to create a small organic garden at Glen Park Scout House to educate day camp students about urban agriculture, nutritional sciences and the benefits of eating farm-to-fork. The garden will also eventually provide fresh organic edibles for camp snacks that the students themselves helped grow.
The donation provided by Healthy Day Partners, a local nonprofit that supports programs that engage students through school gardens, wellness and environmental education, is being used to fund the initial start-up of the small garden. The donation was used to cover the costs of garden planter boxes, organic soil, seeds and starter plants. Healthy Day Partners hosted an educational session at the camp on June 22 and taught campers how to plant organic plants and keep the garden healthy. Campers were able to get their hands into the soil, dig holes and place the individual plants in them. Glen Park is the City of Encinitas's first organically managed park.
"The community garden fits well with our community heritage and will be a great resource for the children of our community," said Jim O'Grady, Encinitas' interium director of parks and recreation. "We know children learn most when they're engaged and having fun. Through hands-on interaction, the garden will allow the next generation of Encinitas residents to learn lifelong lessons about agriculture and the food they eat. We thank Healthy Day Partners for their support on this."
Healthy Day Partners was founded by Mim Michelove and Camille Sowinski to promote community health by assisting schools, school districts and the greater community with environmental and wellness education programs. These efforts include providing guidance on school gardens and farms; waste reduction best practices, composting efforts and resource conservation initiatives.
"Healthy Day Partners was created to provide our local schools and community with sustainable programs that help students and residents make informed, healthy lifestyle choices," said Healthy Day Partners' co-founder Mim Michelove. "Through our experiences at Ocean Knoll Elementary School's Farm and the Straight to the Plate program, we've seen how impactful agricultural and nutrition programs can be. We are thrilled to support the City's efforts to help educate the next generation about healthy food through this engaging community project."

Does the size of the rain collecting vessel matter? In other words, does its diameter matter?
Nope, any diameter will produce the same result.
Why? the height of the water in the collector is equal to the volume of water in it divided by the area of its opening. The volume of water in the collector is proportional to the rate of rainfall (measured in something like drops per unit area) times the area of the can. If we put these together, we find that the area of the rain gauge cancels from the top and bottom of the ratio—meaning the area doesn't matter!
The only meaningful measure left is the height of the rain collected. Hence only mm or inches.
Another way to think about it is – if all the rain that fell didn't disappear (absorption in the ground, evaporation, etc.), and if there were a way to keep it in one location like it is in a vessel then it's height would stand at x mm, or inches, if you are like me :), in that location.
So, stating the measurement as volume would be misleading unless you also specified the amount of area on which that volume fell.

Spirits of Fire and Flood
At 854m in height, Arenig Fawr lays no claim to be amongst the mightiest of peaks in Snowdonia. The late W. A. Poucher ranked the rocky summit of this remote mountain as 24th in an ordinal list of the Welsh Peaks. But a mountain is more than a mere measurement of its ascent above ordnance datum, as obsessive peak-baggers and list tickers may fail to acknowledge. It is a massif of geological history, an eco system of flora and fauna, a facilitator of meteorological phenomenon, a catalyst of story, myth and legend, a home of spirits from an earlier age.
Afon Tryweryn
Afon Tryweryn
I first fell under the spell of this less well known area of the Welsh mountains as a student at Aberystwyth University. As Michaelmas term progressed and the nights began to draw in around the somewhat claustrophobic collegiate town, we looked with increasing anticipation to our weekend forays into the Welsh countryside to find space and light. And so we stumbled across the mountains to the south of Llyn Celyn, since when something has called me back time and time again.
On the autumnal equinox I set off to spend the night at the MBA hut situated rather apprehensively just below the slightly Heath Robinson looking dam at Llyn Arenig Fawr. As the hut is situated less than two miles south of the A4212 Y Bala-Trawsfynydd road I decided to extend the journey by starting at the Llyn Celyn dam, picking my way through the farms and fields around Mynydd Nodol and crossing a rather boggy Nant Aberderfel, where the Ordnance Survey indicated path seems to vanish into purple moor grass, bog myrtle and waist-high heather. After four rather gruelling miles I arrived at the bothy, which was, thankfully, empty. The hut is only just large enough for one person, or perhaps two if they know each other well, and probably dates from 1830 when Llyn Arenig Fawr was first adapted as a reservoir to provide the town of Y Bala with drinking water. The lake gains some shelter from storms as it lies in the lee of the crags of Simdde Ddu, but as an autumnal wind began to get up across the silvery waters, as the light began to fail and the rain began to pitter-pat on the steel chimney cap, I determined the best course of action was to light a fire in the somewhat smoky grate and settle down for the night.
In geological terms Arenig Fawr was born 490 million years ago in a sea of fire and foam in a part of geological time known as the Ordovician. The collision of continental plates gave rise to an arc of fierce volcanic activity. The volcanoes erupted into a shallow sea with explosive force, spuing out pyroclastic flows of white-hot ash and lava, which roared with breathtaking speed into the surrounding waters, making them boil and hiss. These "nuées ardentes" or burning clouds, rapidly cooled in air, in water to form solid rock: ignimbrites, tuffs, breccias, from which the lofty crags of Arenig Fawr were chiselled.
During the last ice age some 14,000 years ago, sheets of ice would have submerged these valleys, with only the mountaintops protruding above, a veritable flood concealing the fertile valleys from hunter gatherers and forcing them south to warmer climes. As the valleys and human imagination began to emerge from beneath the ice, stories were woven by the Celtic people about a race of giants who lived among them. Idris was one such giant, living upon his seat "Cadair Idris" and who would initiate contests between other giants, Yscydion, Offrwm and Ysbryn who also lived amongst these hills and mountains. There is an account in the Welsh Triads of the bursting of Llyn Llion that resulted in the deaths of all living people, with the exception of Dwyfan and Dwyfach, who escaped in a boat without sails, and went on to repopulate the British Isles with their offspring. Arenig Fawr seems a likely place for the grounding of this mythological boat, the Welsh for Ark being Aren or Arene. Similarly, it is believed locally that the ruins of an ancient and legendary city lie beneath the waters of Llyn Tegid, or Bala Lake as it is know in English, once lost in a great flood. The lake, formed by glacial melt waters following the last ice age, is one of the last habitats of the Gwyniad fish, a small salmonid creature. Three rather forlorn looking specimens of this remnant of a post-glacial ecosystem sit pickled in formaldehyde in the White Lion Hotel on the main street of Y Bala. Another local legend tells of a farmer who once found a fairy calf among the rushes of Llyn Arenig Fawr, and reared it as one of his own cattle. For many years it produced many fine offspring, making him a wealthy man, until one day a small man playing a pipe appeared by the lake and by his eerie music, led the animal back into the waters to rejoin the fairy herd. Born from water and returned to water.
I awoke to a cold, wet, grey morning and struggled to raise myself from the warmth of my sleeping bag. After a breakfast of kippers cooked on the old iron pan I found hanging on the bothy wall, I carefully balanced across the rickety old iron ladder spanning the water out-flow of the dam, and began to ascend the limb of Y Castell to the south-west of the lake. As I climbed higher and the expanse of open country to the south gradually began to reveal itself, I could see three sheets of water dominating the landscape: Llyn Celyn to the north, Llyn Arenig Fawr in the corrie below, and across the moorland to the south, Llyn Tegid, cradled in the valley beneath the lofty crags of Aran Fawddwy.
The spirit of Arenig Fawr can be deceptively passive, imbued with an air of amiability, beneath which lies a dark and angry character. On clear spring days, with the song of skylarks lifting high into the azure sky, the climb to the summit is a little more than a strenuous walk. But in winter, when the mountain is draped in snow and ice, reminiscent of that long ago age, when black clouds tear across the summit ridge propelled by winds strong enough to lift walkers from their feet and dash them onto the jagged rocks below, then one might imagine giants battling in these hills.
On a moonless August night in 1943 the deep thrum of aircraft engines could be heard above the wind, echoing along the Dyfrdwy Valley. The aircraft was a United States Air Force B17 Flying Fortress, "Mr Five-by-Five", on night training manoeuvres, many miles off course. It is thought that the crew never saw Arenig Fawr in the darkness. Had the aircraft been just fifty metres higher they would have cleared the summit ridge, secured their location and returned to base for cocoa and a good night's sleep. The summit cairn now bears a slate memorial to the eight American crewmembers, each one originating from a different state of the Union, who were killed that night. The area is even now scattered with fragments of metal, mostly fused, one would suspect at very high temperature, into the volcanic breccias that form the rocky outcrop, such that it is impossible to tell where aluminium ends and the natural rock begins. The bodies of the crewmen were never found.
To the south of the summit, Moel yr Eglwys, Church Hill, lies an area of rare simplicity and beauty where a scatter of crystal-clear pools, encircled by rich, red bog grasses, lie amongst undulating crags and rocky tors. Westward, across the boggy col of Ceunant Coch, I climbed to the summit of Moel Llyfnant and was rewarded with a view across Coed-y-Brenin, the King's Forest, to the Rhinogydd, dark and silent like sleeping giants, beneath a blanket of cold-grey cloud.
To the north of Moel Llyfnant, on the descent towards Amnodd-bwll and Amnodd-wen, there are remains of shielings, or hafod in Welsh, buildings associated with the summer grazing of livestock, probably dating from the 18thCentury. Many are of considerable size and extent, belying the once active agricultural history of this barren landscape, populated now only by walkers, lone forestry workers and the occasional sheep.
In twenty-four hours I saw not one other person until I reached the sleepy hamlet of Arenig, from where I crossed Afon Tryweryn to reach again the A4212, where the cars and lorries race at foolish speed. Circling the lake I was reminded of the latest tale in these chronicles of fire and flood. In 1965, the construction of the reservoir of Llyn Celyn, built to provide water to the city of Liverpool via the river Dee, resulted in the flooding of Capel Celyn, a small village, which was a centre of welsh cultural activity. Local bitter feelings were exacerbated by the insensitivity of the authorities involved and the passing of the legislation for the reservoir in Parliament despite

This is currently a major limitation preventing its wider applications. We here propose multiple defocused CXDI, in which isolated objects are sequentially illuminated with a divergent beam larger than the objects and the coherent diffraction pattern of each object is recorded. This method can simultaneously reconstruct both objects and a probe from the coherent X-ray diffraction patterns without any a priori knowledge. We performed a computer simulation of the prposed method and then successfully demonstrated it in a proof-of-principle experiment at SPring-8. The prposed method allows us to not only observe broad samples but also characterize focused XFEL beams.

Depending on your daily needs and food preferences, the amount of brown rice you should eat varies. Depending on how active you are and how many calories you burn, you can eat 1 to 3 cups of rice a day.
If you're trying to lose weight, it's a good idea to eat at least 1 cup of cooked rice a day. If you eat more than that, your body will try to burn the extra calories as fat, which can lead to weight gain.
Table of Contents
How much brown rice should you eat?
The usda states that healthy adults need about 3 to 6 ounce-equivalents of whole grains each day. A serving of cooked brown rice is equivalent to about 12 cup. Cup or ¼ Cup.
What is the side effect of brown rice?
Brown rice can prevent us from getting the vitamins we need in other foods.
- Brown rice is a good source of protein
- Vitamin b6
- Pantothenic acid
It is also rich in vitamin A, which is important for vision, skin, hair and eye health. Brown rice has also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Can we eat brown rice daily for weight loss?
If you are on a weight loss journey, you should consider this diet. According to experts, brown rice is low in calories and enriched with essential vitamins. It is great for people who are trying to lose weight because it is the best substitute for white rice.
What is the healthiest rice?
Whole grains like brown rice are better for you than processed grains. They have more fiber, which helps you to feel full more quickly. Brown rice is also a good source of vitamin B6, folate, magnesium, potassium, and manganese. It's also rich in protein, vitamins A, C, D, E and K, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, zinc and selenium.
What are the pros and cons of brown rice?
Brown, white, and parboiled rice have low risk of arsenic because the outer layers are removed in manufacturing. Similar to white flour, the low nutrition content is a Cons. The high glycemic score is related to the high in starch.
Can be used as a substitute for whole wheat flour for those who are allergic to wheat.Cons: High sugar content. Has a high protein content, which can lead to weight gain if consumed in excess.

Teenagers are one of the most talked about, worried about and analysed groups in modern NZ society.
But was it always this way? What role have teenagers played in our nation's history?
Historian Grant Morris of Victoria University has studied the subject.
The word 'teenager' is a 20th century invention, he says, and originated overseas. In New Zealand the word started to be used around the middle of last century.
In the 19th century you were either a child or an adult. Children were dependent on their parents, although they often worked, and adults were expected to work and raise families.
The vast majority of 13 to 19 year olds, known commonly as youths, didn't attend school or tertiary study.
Boys would often help out with farm work and girls with domestic work; others worked in industry. Working age was from age 12; some of this work was paid, some of it not.
In Maori society there was an expectation that once someone reached puberty, they would effectively become an adult and work.
Teenagers didn't exist in colonial times and this situation did not change markedly until secondary schooling became more common during the early 20th century and a school leaving age was introduced and gradually raised.
Teenage males served in World War I and World War II despite the recruitment focus being on men aged over 20.
But the teenager we know today emerged after World War II
As New Zealand became more prosperous, and the influence of the United States grew, language, dress and cultural tastes developed that were particular to this group. And they came to be seen as a distinct group.
Bodgies, widgies, boy racers, skaties and homies are all examples of teenage sub-groups since the 1950s. And from the start teenagers have shown rebellious tendencies which has caused older generations to fret.
The Mazengarb Report on juvenile delinquency in Lower Hutt, published in 1954, caused a moral panic at the time as it revealed teenagers were drinking and having sex.
Subsequent research, rightly or wrongly, strongly associated teenagers with problem drinking, illegal drug use, drink driving and unsafe sex.
"Throughout our history teenagers are first ignored as a distinct group, and then they tend to be recognised only as a group – rather than as individuals," Mr Morris says.

Chasing Sound teaches brass and woodwind which are the backbone of many schools and community bands in the local area of Footscray, Melbourne. They are fun to learn and a pleasure to play as they involve many different styles of music. At Chasing Sound we provide Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet & Trombone Lessons. If you're interested in learning to play a brass or woodwind instrument, book your lesson today. Contact us!
BRASS & WOODWIND – FOUNDATION PHASE
Students learn the fundamentals of playing technique and reading notation. This includes correct posture and practical technique. Students are introduced to reading music notes, as well as counting rhythms and learning basic symbols. They work on learning how to practice effectively and develop routines to support their progress. If students have some experience on the instrument already, these elements of their musicianship are refined. This phase allows students to see if they enjoy the instrument and find out if they are compatible with their teacher. Music lessons are a commitment so above all this phase can show how well students can incorporate lessons and practice into their lifestyle.
BRASS & WOODWIND – STREAMS PHASE
Students can sit The Australian Music Examination Board (AMEB) music qualifications. This AMEB STREAM covers Preliminary-Grade 8 and above and similarly the Music Theory exams in the later levels. These exams are a terrific way for students to excel and further develop their general musical skills. The exam is mostly practical (playing scales and pieces on their instrument). Students will find that listening, general knowledge and sight-reading skills are also covered. AMEB students receive comments from an examiner and a certificate upon completion. AMEB exams take place in Hawthorn. Costs incurred include exam enrolment and AMEB print materials.
Classical/School Repertoire Stream
Students who elect to do the CLASSICAL STREAM work on repertoire by classical composers. They build on the technique they developed in the FOUNDATION phase and also increase their range and rhythmic comprehension. Students learn about playing in time, develop an understanding of various symbols as well as improve their theoretical and aural awareness.
If they are already playing instruments in their school programs students will participate in a slightly different FOUNDATION phase before working on their repertoire. This could include learning songs for upcoming concerts and supporting students in VCE Music.
Students who elect to do the CONTEMPORARY STREAM work on one of the following various styles: Pop, Rock & Film Music. They build on the technique they developed in the FOUNDATION phase and develop an understanding of the symbols, markings and techniques to playing within the specific style. Students are also encouraged to learn about different artists within the style and expand their skills.
Jazz Stream (Brass Only)
Students who elect to do the JAZZ STREAM build on the technique they developed in the FOUNDATION phase and develop an understanding of the symbols, markings and techniques to playing within jazz. Students learn about different Jazz artists as well as improve their relevant theoretical and aural awareness.
BRASS & WOODWIND – PERFORMANCE PHASE
Students perform pieces they have worked on in the previous STREAM phase or similarly new pieces from the same style as a soloist. Students learn how to plan chunked practice as they move towards the performance. This might include problem-solving as well as progression points. With their teachers, students talk about managing nerves, improving concentration and furthermore their growth as performers. Students perform publicly at Chasing Sound events or are recorded in lessons — a product of the phase.
BRASS & WOODWIND – SPECIALISATION PHASE
Students can revisit and expand upon a style they worked through in the earlier STREAMS phase. Alternatively, they can take a creative step forward into song-writing, composition or improvisation. This stream allows a student to consolidate the work they have done in the previous phases. Students would not be able to transition into this phase without having done the others in order.
BRASS & WOODWIND – SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING PHASE
Students are empowered with the relevant skills, stylistic understanding and self-awareness musically to direct their own musical pathways. They do so with the support of their Chasing Sound Music School teacher and community.

Wolverton is responsible for the data analysis and subsequent feasibility study, concept study, concept report and design of solutions for safety issues identified across Districts 3 and 6 in Georgia. To date, our team has been assigned several traffic studies to identify safety improvements at key intersections in both Districts.
We work with GDOT to analyze the site for any solutions to safety issues within the project limits, including removal of traffic signal, adding protected left-turn phase, sight distance improvements, better signage, etc. Proposed safety improvements include innovative intersection designs such as roundabouts, CFIs and others.
Each project is analyzed using an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) tool to determine the best method for operation. The team then completes a feasibility study to further study the impacts on implementing these recommendations, and, if warranted, we complete concept drawings, cost estimates and a concept report for the project before moving into preliminary and final plans.

(Draft) The correctness of insertion sort
Thomas Hallgren
Introduction
In this document, we prove the correctness of insertion sort, i.e., when insertion sort is applied to a list of natural numbers, the result is an ordered permutation of the original list.
We explicitly define lists, the sorting algorithm, what it means for a list to be ordered, what a permutation is and various lemmas relating to these concepts.
We also rely on some definitions not included in this document: propositional logic, predicate logic and natural numbers with the usual equality and ordering.
An unusual aspect of this document is that all definitions, lemmas and proofs have been constructed formally in a proof assistant [hallgren:alfa-homepage]. The proof has in every detail been machine checked (even the parts not included here), and is thus hopefully free from logical flaws. The formal constructions, together with grammatical annotations, have then been translated automatically [hallgren-ranta:lpar2000] into English text to form the bulk of this document.
The data structures and algorithms of interest
Definition. Let A be a set. Then a list of elements of A is defined by the following constructors:
Definition. Let A be a set. Let x be an element of A. Then the singleton list with x is a list of elements of A defined as the list with x prepended to the empty list.
Definition. Let x be a natural number. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then the list with x inserted into xs is a list of natural numbers defined depending on xs as follows:
Definition. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then insertion sort applied to xs is a list of natural numbers defined depending on xs as follows:
Ordered lists
What is an ordered list?
Definition. Let x be a natural number. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then we say that xs is ordered even if x is prepended which is defined depending on xs as follows:
Definition. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then we say that xs is ordered which is defined depending on xs as follows:
What happens when a new element is inserted in an ordered list?
Rule of inference. Let x1 and x2 be natural numbers. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Let le_x2 be a proof that x1 is less than or equal to x2. Let le_xs be a proof that the list with x1 prepended to xs is ordered. Then we may reason as follows:
this can be proved by the lemma about prepending after inserting, since
this proves that the list with x1 prepended to the list with x2 inserted into xs is ordered.
Justification: depending on xs as follows:
Rule of inference. Let x be a natural number. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Let oxs be a proof that xs is ordered. Then we may reason as follows:
oxs. We can now use the theorem that the order is preserved when inserting elements in an ordered list.
this proves that the list with x inserted into xs is ordered.
Justification: depending on xs as follows:
Definitions and lemmas relating to permutations
Definition. Let x be a natural number. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then the number of occurences of x in xs is a natural number defined depending on xs as follows:
Definition. Let xs and ys be lists of natural numbers. Then we say that ys is a permutation of xs if for all natural numbers n, the number of occurences of n in xs is equal to the number of occurences of n in ys.
The theorem that the empty list is a permutation of itself. The empty list is a permutation of the empty list.
Proof. The empty list is a permutation of the empty list. We omit the proof.
Rule of inference. Let x be a natural number. Let ys and zs be lists of natural numbers. Let p be a proof that zs is a permutation of ys. Then we may reason as follows:
use p. The lists are still permutations when x is prepended.
this proves that the list with x prepended to zs is a permutation of the list with x prepended to ys.
Justification: the list with x prepended to zs is a permutation of the list with x prepended to ys. We omit the proof.
Rule of inference. Let xs and ys and zs be lists of natural numbers. Let xy be a proof that ys is a permutation of xs. Let yz be a proof that zs is a permutation of ys. Then we may reason as follows:
By transitivity, zs is a permutation of xs.
this proves that zs is a permutation of xs.
Justification: zs is a permutation of xs. We omit the proof.
The theorem that swapping the first two elements of a list yields a permutation. Let x1 and x2 be natural numbers. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then the list with x2 prepended to the list with x1 prepended to xs is a permutation of the list with x1 prepended to the list with x2 prepended to xs.
Proof. The list with x2 prepended to the list with x1 prepended to xs is a permutation of the list with x1 prepended to the list with x2 prepended to xs. We omit the proof.
Rule of inference. Let x be a natural number. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then we may reason as follows:
inserting x yields a permutation of prepending x.
this proves that the list with x inserted into xs is a permutation of the list with x prepended to xs.
Justification: depending on xs as follows:
The correctness of insertion sort
Definition. Let xs and ys be lists of natural numbers. Then we say that ys is a sorted version of xs if ys is a permutation of xs and ys is ordered.
Insertion sort yields ordered lists
The theorem that insertion sort yields ordered lists. For all lists of natural numbers xs, insertion sort applied to xs is ordered.
Proof. Let xs be an arbitrary list of natural numbers. Insertion sort applied to xs is ordered: we split the proof in two cases:
Insertion sort permutes lists
Rule of inference. Let x be a natural number. Let xs' be a list of natural numbers. Let h be a proof that insertion sort applied to xs' is a permutation of xs'. Then we may reason as follows:
use h. We can now use the lemma that sorting before prepending yields a permutation.
this proves that insertion sort applied to the list with x prepended to xs' is a permutation of the list with x prepended to xs'.
Justification: insertion sort applied to the list with x prepended to xs' is a permutation of the list with x prepended to xs':
By transitivity, insertion sort applied to the list with x prepended to xs' is a permutation of the list with x prepended to xs'.
The theorem that insertion sort permutes lists. For all lists of natural numbers xs, insertion sort applied to xs is a permutation of xs.
Proof. Let xs be an arbitrary list of natural numbers. We split the proof in two cases:
Putting it all together
The correctness of insertion sort. Let xs be a list of natural numbers. Then insertion sort applied to xs is a sorted version of xs.
Proof.
This proves that insertion sort applied to xs is a sorted version of xs.
Conclusions
In this paper we have deliberately refrained from using any formal notation, to explore the contrast with the formal notation the user of a proof assisant usually has to cope with. It should thus be possible to read the paper without first learning our particular formal notation. However, it is clear why formal mathematical notation was invented in the first place: the verbosity of the text clearly makes it harder to read (since every little detail requires a lot of text), so, as a not so surprising conclusion, we can say the best readability is probably obtained by a suitably balanced mixture of formal notation and natural language text.
Documents about formal proofs are typically produced by complementing manually authored text with figures containing proof fragments developed in a formal system. Here, the bulk of the text has instead been constructed automatically from the formal proof. There are of course both advantages and disadvantages with text generated automatically in this way:
We have chosen to work with lists of natural numbers and a specific ordering, but the proof could fairly easily be generalised to arbitrary lists and orderings.

¡Bienvenidos a Chapala Mexican Restaurant!
We're a family business and we first opened our doors in April of 2019 with the hope of bringing authentic and delicious Mexican food made with love to the Denver area. Thank you for coming to dine with us, and we're excited to provide y'all with the best food and service in town!
A brief history of Chapala:
Chapala is a town and municipality in the central Mexican state of Jalisco, located on the north shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest freshwater lake.
Until the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, nomadic Amerindian tribes, including the Nahuatl, occupied the Lake Chapala region. They migrated from northwestern Mexico and gave rise to the Aztec civilization. Chapala is named after the last chief of the Nahuatl, Chapalac. Ajijic, the second largest town along the lake's northwestern shore, received its name from the Nahuatl word for "Place where the water springs forth."
Lake Chapala in southeastern Jalisco is Mexico's largest lake, occupying about 1,112 square kilometers (430 square miles). The lake provides critical habitat for several species of migratory birds, including the white pelican.

U.S. Air Force Officer and test pilot Chuck Yeager, known as "the fastest man in the world," died at age 97.
Chuck Yeager was the first person in history to overcome the sound barrier when he tested the X-1 in October 1947, although the public was not told about this feat until 1948. His death was confirmed by his second wife Victoria. "Incredibly well lived life – he was the greatest pilot in America," she wrote on Twitter.
His legacy has also captured subsequent generations, and it was shown in the 1983 book and film The Right Material. John Nicoletti, a friend of Yeager's, said that Yeager had experienced some physical problems in recent years – he fell, leading to complications and other problems because of his age. Yeager lived in Northern California and died in a hospital in Los Angeles.
The pilot was born in 1923 and grew up in West Virginia. In 1941 he joined the Air Force at the age of 18 and was sent to the Army Aviation Corps. In 1943, Yeager became a pilot of the Fighter Command of 8 air forces stationed in England. During the Second World War he made 64 departures and shot down 13 German planes.
He was shot down over France in March 1944 during his eighth combat flight, but managed to avoid capture by the French underground. He returned to the United States in 1945 and married his wife Glennis, after whom he named several of his warplanes. After the war, Yeager became a flight instructor and test pilot, working as an assistant maintenance officer in the fighter division of the flight test division in Wright Field, Ohio. He also performed on an air show.

When filling your gas can to refuel outdoor power equipment, are you paying attention to the ethanol level in the gas you are pumping? Do you know that some ethanol-containing fuel can damage your small engine and may be illegal to use in small engines like outdoor power equipment?
OPEI on the Dangers of Ethanol Gas to Small Engines
Don't worry, you are not alone. According to a Harris Interactive study conducted for the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), nearly three-guards of American adults are "not at all sure" if it is illegal to put high-level ethanol gas (anything more than 10 percent) in their small engines such as those in boats, mowers, chain saws, snow mobiles, generators and more.
That's why the OPEI recently announced a new ethanol education and awareness campaign, "Look Before You Pump" to help educate consumers about the ill-effects of high-level ethanol containing gas. The visual to be displayed at pumps is a visible and simple reminder to consumer to make sure that they aren't using anything more than a 10 percent ethanol fuel in their small engines. The goal is to remind consumers that the gas they put in their car may not be right for their small engines.
3 Tips to Avoid Engine Damage from Fuel
To avoid engine damage that ethanol gas can cause to your small engines consider the following:
- Never use any fuel higher than 10 percent ethanol in your small engines
- Even with a 10 percent ethanol gas, use a fuel stabilizer to counteract any damage it can cause, especially if your equipment will be sitting idle for long periods of time
- Consider canned-fuel products to guarantee that your outdoor power equipment will remain fee of damage caused by ethanol containing gas


text: Living species of Meiocardia, Glossidae, are reviewed on the basis of specimens stored in various museums and institutions, including the MUSORSTOM collection of Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris. Six species, one of them new, are reported from the Indo-West Pacific. The type species, M. moltkiana (Gmelin, 1791), has been variously interpreted by authors, so we redescribe it and give a new diagnosis of the genus. Other species of Meiocardia are: M. sanguineomaculata (Dunker, 1882) (Philippines to Seychelles); M. vulgaris (Reeve, 1845) (China to Philippines); M. globosa sp. nov. (Eastern Indian Ocean to Taiwan and Philippines); M. samarangiae Bernard, Cai & Morton, 1993 (Japan); and M. hawaiana Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938 (western Indian Ocean to Hawaii). Meiocardia lamarckii (Reeve, 1845) is synonymised with M. moltkiana. Meiocardia lamarckii of Japanese authors is not the same as M. lamarckii (Reeve), but is conspecific with M. hawaiana. Meiocardia samarangiae Bernard, Cai & Morton, 1993 is a replacement name for Isocardia tetragona Adams & Reeve, 1850 non Koch & Dunker, 1837. The genus Glossocardia, Trapezidae, is redescribed on the basis of the type-species, Glossocardia obesa (Reeve, 1843) (tropical West Pacific). It includes Glossocardia stoliczkana Prashad, 1932 (Philippines and New Caledonia) and the tropical western Atlantic G. agassizii (Dall, 1886), which was originally assigned to Meiocardia. There are no records of living or fossil species of Meiocardia from the western Atlantic or eastern Pacific.

Electric field strength and potential in a charged conducting sphere
The electric field strength inside a conducting charged sphere is zero, but why? In the book it says "that the field lines would link charges of opposite sign in the sphere and such a state of affairs is impossible under static conditions in a conductor." I don't really get this sentence.
And if the electric field strength inside a conducting charged sphere is zero, does it mean that the potential inside it is also zero? Or the electric potential is same as the potential on the surface of the sphere?
|Nov19-12, 06:12 AM||#2|
If a field line linked two opposing charges, they would accelerate towards one another because they are free to move in a conductor. This acceleration contradicts the assumption that the conditions are static.
Since the electric field is minus the gradient of the electric potential, if there is no electric field then there can be no gradient, ie. the electric potential is uniform over the conducting volume, although not necessarily zero.

Chandigarh TourismChandigarh TourismChandigarh TravelChandigarh City India
Chandigarh Tourism
The people of Chandigarh are extremely vivacious and fun-loving in nature. Let us explore the lifestyle of the people of the city, in detail.
People of Chandigarh
People of ChandigarhChandigarh is inhabited by people of varied races and classes. Most of its inhabitants trace an Indo-Aryan ethnic origin. There is lots of diversity among the different castes residing in Chandigarh. Say, even when a Jat and Khatri are next-door neighbors, some of their cultural traits vary a lot. These diversities add beauty and color to the cultural heritage of the city. Due to the diversity in the castes and culture of the people of Chandigarh, exploring the nooks and corners of the place can be a lot of fun for travelers. To know more about the people of Chandigarh, go through the following lines.
Among the various castes that are present in Chandigarh, the most dominant ones include Jats, Khatris, Aroras, Brahmans, Vaishas, Lohar, Gujjar, Tarkhan and Sansins. People belonging to other castes also live in the place, though in minority. These include the Awans, Arians, Kalals, Ahluwalias, Labans, Nais, Sainis, Kambohs and Soods, apart from Banias, Bhatias, Brahmins and Chhimbas. Some of these castes have Arabian, Persian and Turkish heritage as well.
Sikh Jat is the biggest community settled in Chandigarh. The people belonging to this caste are expert in agriculture and contribute significantly towards the regional agricultural output. They are characterized by a well-built appearance. A strong will power and the determination to earn a better living are some of their positives. The Khatris and Aroras are next largest in number, who are more into trade than agriculture. Among the minor agricultural castes, Sainis and Kambohs are the most prominent ones. The minority castes are occupied in agricultural operations as well as local trading operations.
People in Chandigarh are accustomed to a leisurely lifestyle, which sets them apart from the residents of other major cities in India. However, with the passing time, they are adopting themselves to a fast paced lifestyle. People in the city are very friendly and warm. Even when they live a very busy life, they try make it a point to dedicate some of their time to their loved ones and go for outing, especially during weekends, to some of the major attractions of the city.
Over the passing years, the city has become a trendsetter in fashion. Youth studying in different colleges of the city hang out with their friends, flaunting their chick clothing. People here easily embrace the drastic change in the fashion trends. Unlike the major metropolitans, where the life literally starts after 10 pm, Chandigarh goes off to sleep early. The celebrations of most of the occasions generally do not extend beyond 10 pm. Nonetheless, you can still find a decent amount of people partying in pubs and discs.

In the next development release a couple of changes have been made in the batch convert wizard of ModelConverterX. The main changes are:
- You can now select if you want to save objects or scenery. When you select objects each model in the selected files is saved as a separate file. If you select scenery, one output file will be made for each input file.
- There are two button to save and load the batch convert settings. This will save the files you have selected to process, the operators and their settings and the output settings. So this should make it easier to run the same or similar batch runs in the future.
I have added some new batch operators as well, this is an overview of them:
- Add placement: adds a placement (latitude/longitude) to all objects
- Center object: makes sure the reference point is in the centre of the object. If the object has a placement, this placement is also updated to match the shift of the object.
- Rename object: renames all objects to the given name, if multiple objects in one file they are extended with a number
- Rename textures: rename all textures of an object. They are renamed with the object name, followed by a number
I plan to write another blog post soon explaining how I used these new operators, so that it makes more sense why I added them.


text: Adaptive Hydraulics Model The purpose of the study was to determine flow velocities and patterns downstream of the dam during high spillway flows. Such flows may cause bank erosion downstream of the stilling basin under existing conditions. For this reason, some type of bank protection will be necessary. This study provides water-surface elevations, velocity data, and flow patterns for flows varying from 8,900 cfs to the Probable Maximum flood of 207,000 cfs. District engineers will use the information gathered from this study to design bank protection below the dam. More information can be obtained in ERDC/CHL TR-09-17.

Cloud Pharmaceuticals receives $150,000 phase I grant from NSF SBIR
Cloud Pharmaceuticals, a therapeutics company focused on cloud-based drug design and development, has been awarded a phase I grant from the National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research (NSF SBIR) program. The grant is valued at $150,000.
This phase I NSF SBIR project focuses on advancing the development of the Inverse Design computational drug discovery platform. Inverse Design runs computational models to quickly scan vast molecular space to find the strongest inhibitors of specific biological targets. It uses advanced quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations for binding accuracy combined with an artificial intelligence heuristic search algorithm.
"We intend to apply the grants to add tools to enhance the molecular searching functionality of our Inverse Design platform," said Dr. Shahar Keinan, chief scientific officer for Cloud Pharmaceuticals. "The first is a multi-object optimization to further enhance the accuracy of our search results. The second is an automated scaffold-design algorithm that enables highly selective inhibitor designs. These tools will further our efforts to identify molecules that not only bind well to a biological target, but also feature good clinical properties and demonstrate low probability of toxic and off-target side effects, as well as greater stability and synthesizability."

This paper proposes an adaptive joint source and channel coding scheme for H.264 video multicast over wireless LAN which takes into account the user topology changes and varying channel conditions of multiple users, and dynamically allocates available bandwidth between source coding and channel coding, with the goal to optimize the overall system performance. In particular, source resilience and error correction are considered jointly in the scheme to achieve the optimal performance. And a channel estimation algorithm based on the average packet loss rate and the variance of packet loss rate is proposed also. Two overall performance criteria for video multicast are investigated and experimental results are presented to show the improvement obtained by the scheme.

The history of the Triumph GT6

The GT6 was a 6-cylinder sports coupé built by Standard-Triumph and based on their popular Triumph Spitfire convertible. Production ran from 1966 to 1973.
In early 1963 Giovanni Michelotti was commissioned by Standard-Triumph to design a GT version of their recently introduced Spitfire 4 (also designed by Michelotti). An unmodified Spitfire 4 was transported to Michelotti's design studios in Italy and late in 1963 the prototype Spitfire GT4 was returned to England for evaluation. The styling of the vehicle was a success but unfortunately the extra weight of the GT bodyshell resulted in extremely poor performance, with the 1,147 cc (70 cu in) Spitfire power unit, and plans for producing the Spitfire GT4 were shelved.
However, Michelotti's fastback design for the Spitfire GT4 prototype was (for the 1964 season) adopted by the Triumph racing-programme as it was deemed to provide an aerodynamic benefit over the standard Spitfire body-shape. Fibreglass copies of the Spitfire GT4's fastback were grafted on to the race-modified Spitfires destined for competition. The Spitfire racing-programme was successful and, in 1965, resulted in a 1st in category at the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hour (beating their main rivals, the MG Midgets). The competitive success of the Spitfire racing-programme, as well as the continued commercial success of the production vehicle led Triumph to re-evaluate its shelved plans for a GT version of the Spitfire. To overcome the lack of performance inherent in the heavier body-style the Spitfire's 4 cylinder engine was replaced with the more powerful 2 litre 6 cylinder engine from the Triumph Vitesse (which shared a similar chassis with both the Spitfire and Triumph Herald). The car was further developed and refined and eventually launched as the Triumph GT6 (dropping the "Spitfire" prefix) to identify its GT styling and its 6 cylinder engine.
Contemporary Triumph marketing advertised the GT6 as being developed from the "race winning Le Mans Spitfires" to capitalise on their aesthetic similarities, whereas the Le Mans Spitfires and the GT6 were actually two entirely separate development programmes (the GT programme predating the racing programme). However, the marketing spin was so successful that many people erroneously believed the Le Mans Spitfires to actually be GT6s.
The new car was introduced in 1966 and called the Triumph GT6. The new body was a sleek fastback design with an opening rear hatch (This gave the GT6 the nickname "Poor man's E-Type"). It was really a 2-seater, but a small extra rear seat could be ordered if required and was large enough for small children. The family resemblance to the Spitfire Mk II was strong, the longer 6-cylinder engine necessitated a new bonnet top with a power bulge and the doors were provided with opening quarter light windows and squared-off glass in the top rear corner. The 6-cylinder engine was tuned to develop 95 bhp (71 kW) and necessitated certain changes to the Spitfire mechanics; the radiator was new and mounted further forward in the car and the gearbox was the stronger unit from the Vitesse, with optional overdrive. Front springs were uprated to cope with the extra weight from the new engine. The interior of the GT6 was well equipped; a wooden dashboard housed a full complement of instruments, with carpets and heater included as standard.
The new car had some very strong selling points. The new engine provided a 106 mph (171 km/h) top speed and 0-60 mph in 11.7 seconds, a little better than the MGB GT. Moreover, the unit was comparatively smooth and tractable, in marked contrast to the MG's rather harsh 4-cylinder motor. Fuel economy was very reasonable for the period and the interior well up to the competition. The only major criticism was of its rear suspension; the GT6 inherited the swing-axle system from the Spitfire, which in turn was copied from the Herald small saloon. In the saloon it was tolerated, in the little Spitfire it was not liked and in the powerful GT6 it was heavily criticised. Triumph had done nothing to improve the system for the GT6 and the tendency to break away if the driver lifted off the power mid-corner was not helped at all by the increased weight at the front of the car. The handling was most bitterly criticised in the USA, an important export market for Triumph, where they were traditionally very strong. Similar criticism was being levelled at the Vitesse saloon, which shared both the GT6's engine and it's handling problems.
Triumph realised that they needed to find an answer to the problem, if only to keep their reputation in the USA. Their response came with the 1969 model year, with the introduction of the GT6 MK2, known in the States as the GT6+. The rear suspension was significantly re-engineered using reversed lower wishbones and rotoflex driveshaft couplings, taming the handling and turning the Triumph into an MGB-beater. The Vitesse was also modified, but the Spitfire had to wait until 1970 for any improvements to be made.
There were other changes for the MK2: the front bumper was raised (in common with the Spitfire Mk.3) to conform to new crash regulations, necessitating a revised front end, and side vents were added to the front wings and rear pillars. Under the bonnet, the engine was uprated to develop 104 bhp with a new cylinder head, camshaft, and manifolds. The interior was also updated with a new dashboard and better ventilation, a 2-speed heater fan and a black headlining. Overdrive remained a popular option.
The final major facelift for the GT6 came in 1970, to make the MK3. This time the whole bodyshell was revised to match the changes made to the Spitfire Mk.IV; these included a cut-off rear end, recessed door handles and a smoother front end. Only detail changes were made to the mechanics, but in 1973 - close to the end of the car's life - the rear suspension was changed again, this time for the cheaper (but still effective) 'swing-spring' layout also fitted to the Spitfire Mk.IV. This was a modification of the swing axle rear suspension used on the lesser Herald-derived models, with the transverse leaf spring mounted on a pivot, eliminating roll stiffness at the rear, and thus greatly reducing the jacking effect under cornering loads. To compensate for this loss of roll stiffness, a larger front anti-roll bar was fitted. A brake servo was also added in 1973, and seats were changed from vinyl to cloth. There was still a fairly comprehensive options list, but the attractive 'knock-on' wire wheels were no longer available. Performance for the MK3 was basically similar to the MK2, top speed of 117 mph (188 km/h) and a 0-60 time of 10.1 seconds; this was now comfortably ahead of the MGB GT, which topped out at about 105 mph (169 km/h) and reached 60 mph in approximately 13 seconds. Unfortunately, the last U.S. models performed comparatively poorly, as compression ratios were lowered to accommodate lower octane unleaded petrol.
The GT6 proved to be a thoroughly pleasant, well-behaved sports car, certainly after the launch of the MK2. However it never sold in the numbers hoped for by Triumph, and was comprehensively beaten in the marketplace by the arguably inferior MGB. This seems a puzzle; the smaller-engined Spitfire sold better than the MG Midget, but this success eluded the GT6. Triumph always refused to release an official convertible version of the GT6 (although a number of owners successfully created one), and this may be partly responsible; the only likely explanation for this is their reluctance to offer any competition for their TR6 roadster, a strong seller in the USA. Whatever the reason, the GT6 was quietly dropped from the Triumph range at the end of 1973, with a few cars being sold the year after.
Today the cars have a strong following on the classic car circuit in the UK and USA. Mechanics are exceptionally strong, and share many common parts with other Triumphs of the period. Survival rate is comparatively high and there is excellent support from owners clubs.

The main pond within the historic Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is an important component of urban blue-green infrastructure. This paper reports on flood resilience provided by the pond (simulated using the CityCAT hydrodynamic model), its water residence times (obtained using the Shetran hydrological model), and the ecology and biodiversity (vascular plants, bryophytes, aquatic invertebrates, phyto- and zooplankton, birds) of the pond and the adjacent area. The results show that the pond improves the flood resilience with at least a 27% reduction in the peak discharge during a 1 h, one in 100-year event. The area represents a biodiversity hot spot with a range of native taxa occurring among introduced plant species. The plankton community is dominated by diatoms, reflecting elevated levels of turbulence and a relatively short residence time, with an average value of 10 days. Analysis of macroinvertebrate community indicates a potential for water quality improvement. The results are discussed in relation to multiple societal benefits related to flood resilience, recreation, education, water quality, amenity and biodiversity value. The conclusions may prove particularly valuable for introducing practical measures in the water catchment, preventing waterlogging of the soil and ensuring an uninterrupted supply of public services. This article is part of the theme issue 'Urban flood resilience'.

Five Bates students in Germany as science, engineering interns
Five Bates students are taking part in sophisticated research projects in Germany this summer as part of the Research Internships in Science and Engineering program.
Sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst or DAAD), RISE offers about 300 students from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom the opportunity to work closely with research groups at universities and top scientific institutions across Germany.
Each student in the program is matched with a doctoral student, whom they assist and who serves as their mentor.
The five Bates students represent the most the college has ever sent to the RISE program. They are:
Kate Moody '17, a neuroscience major from Charlottesville, Va., will work with a team using functional magnetic-resonance imaging and behavioral data analyses to investigate the individual level-specificity of face-selective areas in the brain.
"Functional imaging produces a great deal of data that needs to be sifted and processed, so the internship will give me an opportunity to hone my programming and mathematics skills," she said. Moody hopes to become a professor one day and conduct her own neuroscience research.
Tiago Correia '17, a physics and mathematics double major from Oeiras, Portugal, will work with the Ultracold Quantum Gases Group at the University of Heidelberg to study the laws of physics that govern the motion of atoms.
His coursework at Bates, including professor Nathan Lundblad's ultracold atomic physics lab, helped further his understanding of topics directly associated with atom research.
"It's always a good feeling to see your hard work pay off, and I will certainly make the most out of the opportunity that has been given to me," he said. He hopes to attend graduate school after Bates.
Jia-Ahn Pan '16, a chemistry and mathematics double major from Kuching, Malaysia, will conduct research at the University of Hamburg in the field of physical chemistry and nanotechnology.
Specifically, he will focus on the fabrication of novel polymeric nanostructures with hard templates.Pan credits Bates professor Matt Côté's hands-on chemistry lab as a key reason he was awarded this internship.
"Bates provides the necessary foundations and lab skills for science students who wish to go further into research," Pan said. "This internship will be a valuable experience, as I will be exposed to a new project using different methods and instruments."
Pan plans to study chemistry and material science in graduate school.
Lucia De Rose '16, an engineering, physics, and mathematics triple major from Parada Robles, Argentina, will assist a research team studying photonics at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light.
"What appealed to me most was the fact that I could select my top three choices out of 300 projects," she said.
"It is not like a standard internship where you adapt to a specific project — the project is assigned based on your interests."
This work will build upon her understanding of optics, a topic she had only read about while at Bates.
Now, De Rose will get to conduct research herself through hands-on work with photonic crystals in a lab.
She hopes to study engineering in graduate school after Bates.
Filip Michalsky '16, a chemistry and mathematics double major from Prague, will help develop a new type of 3-D printer for rapid prototyping of microfluidic devices.
"I am interested in material science applications in technology," Michalsky said, "and 3-D printing sounds like it has a bright future.
"This summer opportunity gives me extensive exposure to a rapidly developing technology, which I am excited about."
After Bates, he hopes to attend graduate school.

To successfully develop and monitor the progress of the development of the data economy in Europe, a sound measurement approach allowing an evidence-based assessment is essential.
Challenges of a cross-country analysis regarding the data economy
- Availability of representative data and metrics
- Common taxonomies that make indicators comparable across countries
The proposed analysis focuses on a restricted number of relevant indicators, published as part of official statistics or in relevant studies. The identified determinants of the data economy represent complex and multidimensional phenomena that can only be captured by several indicators, where each one of them reflects only some aspects of the underlying phenomenon. To get more comprehensive information on the capabilities of countries with respect to specific phenomena, different characteristics were combined to indices. For this purpose, the indicators used to measure the characteristics had to be normalised and weighted. Key determinants and indices used in the context of the observatory are provided below.
- Business sector performance
- Business environment
- Innovation potential of data economy
- Social participation in data related activities
- Infrastructural conditions
- Diffusion of Big Data related Technologies
- Security related aspects
- Privacy Protection
- Data openness
- Policy framework conditions
Composed EuDEco indices
- Business sector performance index
- Innovation potential index
- Index of social participation in data-related activities
- Key enabling technologies index
- Security index
- Privacy protection index
Get to know the EuDEco observatory of the European data economy and find out where the strengths of your country lie!

Feature request: Perhaps at the start of a run, LAMMPS could scan through the list of bonded pairs of atoms and print out an error message if any pair of atoms exceeds the comm distance threshold? (And indicate what the distance was between the offending pair of atoms.)
Although this is mentioned in the documentation, and has come up in past discussions on the mailing list. It's happened to me 3 times over the years, just infrequently enough that I forget what the problem is.
Meanwhile, I'm posting a short rant here to increase the odds a google search will take people quickly to the solution:
If you are running a simulation and pairs of atoms straddling the periodic boundaries behave as if their bonds are stretched across the simulation box (and are attached to the wrong periodic image), this means you need to use the "comm_modify cutoff" (or "comm_modify multi/cutoff") command to increase the communication distance. It must exceed the maximum length of the bonds in your system. In the image below, one of the pairs of bonded atoms was initially slightly longer than the other, exceeding the default comm distance, and the result was:
(two identical bonds shown, including their periodic images, after equilibration)
This is only one of the kinds of mayhem that can result from failing to increase the comm cutoff. It's not always so obvious visually. (In some cases, I have to step through the code with a debugger to figure out what went wrong.)
If LAMMPS can halt and print out a message indicating how large to set the comm distance cutoff, it would be extremely helpful.
Thanks for your time, and please forgive the rant.
P.S. I admit this tends to happen more often to people running coarse grained simulations. All-atom simulations might not run into this problem since the bond lengths are less than the largest heavy atom diameters which determine the default comm distance.

AUTHORITIES have issued an extreme heat warning for the Western District, with temperatures expected to reach nearly 40 degrees on the weekend.
After an expected high of 33 degrees Celsius in Hamilton yesterday, the temperature is forecast to soar to 38 today before peaking at 39 tomorrow.
Relief is in sight Monday with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting the mercury will drop back to 23 degrees.
The temperature is tipped to return the mid-30s by next Wednesday.
Locals councils across the region this week took turns to issue health alerts for today and tomorrow.
They say the expected high temperatures have the potential to cause heat stress, which can cause significant health impacts and are urging residents to exercise extreme care during the heatwave.

Examination of Iraqi EFL Teachers' Attitudes, Intentions, and Practices Regarding Formative Assessment
Document Type : Original Research Article
English Department, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq.
This study aims to explore the attitudes and practices of Iraqi EFL teachers regarding formative assessment (FA). A total of 102 teachers from primary school to university filled in the Arabic version of Teachers' Conceptions and Practices of Formative Assessment Questionnaire. The questionnaire was translated from English into Arabic first and was validated using confirmatory factor analysis (Hazim Jawad, 2020). Findings showed that a 7-factor model had acceptable fit indices (GFI=0.90, CFI=0.91, RMSEA=0.05). Descriptive statistics were used to explain Iraqi EFL teachers' attitudes and intentions regarding FA. Findings showed that the majority of Iraqi teachers believe that formative assessment is a useful procedure for measuring students' learning and is helpful in their education. They also indicated that they have a positive attitude towards FA and are willing to use it. Correlational analysis showed that Affective Attitude, Instrumental Attitude, Subjective Norm, Controllability, and Self-Efficacy were strong predictors of intentions to use formative assessment. However, only Instrumental Attitude had a small significant correlation with the Behavior Scale. In other words, those teachers who believe that FA is useful in improving students learning tend to actually employ FA in their teaching. Findings also showed that female teachers have more positive attitudes towards FA and tend to use it more in their teaching. Implications of the findings for improving English language teaching are discussed.

At restaurants with multiple locations, it is common that one user may need to make changes to another user's Permissions, Basic Information, and Jobs and Wages at another location.
This article will cover the requirements for a user to make changes to Employee Information, Jobs and Wages, or User Permissions to:
1) their own account at another location
2) another user's account at another location
Permissions Hierarchy -
Multi-location restaurants must have at least one "super user" at the corporate level that has access to all Toast permissions. This access is granted by a Toast employee. The "super user" should then choose a minimum of one manager user at each individual location that also has access to all permissions.
However, the permissions granted to the manager user at the individual locations are still to the super user's discretion. For example, the super user may not want a manager user to have access to certain Admin Permissions such as Financial Accounts or Franchisee Fees.
In order to make changes to a specific permission for another user, the user making the change must also have access to that permission.
To make changes to a specific permission for a user at another location, the user making the change must have the same permission granted to them at their original location AND at the location where the user's permission needs to be changed.
- Example: A user has the ability to Void Items / Orders at Location A but not at Location B.
- This user will only have the ability to grant other users access to the Void Items / Orders permission at Location A.
- If a user has the ability to Void Items / Orders at Location A, Location B, and Location C, then the user can grant the Void Items / Orders permissions to another user at all three locations.
Employee Information - The ability to edit a user's basic information (including contact information, password, and passcode) is based off of the Employee Info permission.
In order for a user to make changes to their own employee information OR to another user's employee information, the user making the changes must have the Employee Info permission granted to them.
To make changes to a user's employee information at another location, the user making the change must have the Employee Info permission granted to them at their original location AND at the location where the user's employee information needs to be changed.
Jobs and Wages - The ability to add or remove job roles from an employee is based off of the Employee Jobs & Wages permission and also on the permissions within the job role.
Requirements to add or remove a job role from a user at another location:
- The user adding/removing editing the job role must have all of the permissions that are required of the job role.
- Example: In order for User A to assign the Key Employee role to User B at User B's location, User A must have access to all of the permissions that are required within that job role.

The network module implements a balanced three-phase positive sequence power flow solver using the Gauss-Seidel method (Gauss 1809), as described by Kundur (1993).
Balanced Three-Phase Steady-state Transmission Network Flow Solution Using Gauss-Seidel Method
The Gauss-Seidel (GS) method is a linear iterative method (as opposed to the Newton-Raphson (NR) method, which uses a quadratic iterative method). The only differences between the two methods are the rate of convergence and the robustness of convergence when the starting state is bad. Because GridLAB-D is a quasi-steady time-series simulation, most state changes are small and result in only one or two iterations in either method. However, the GS method can be more easily implemented using parallel processing systems (such as multicore systems). In addition, the GS method is more likely to solve for new conditions that are far from the current solution. However, the GS method can have difficulty computing flows under high-transfer conditions.
The GS method uses an iterative approach proposed by von Seidel (1874). The GS method iterates using the first-order approximation of the Taylor expansion, and the NR method uses a second-order approximation. In the GS method the fundamental equation for the kth node can written as
The GS method is often criticized as inferior. This is categorically not true. The GS method has strengths and weaknesses when compared to the NR method. Depending on the circumstances, one method may be preferred over the other. But both, indeed all, valid methods produce the same answers. In fact, many commercial power flow solvers implement both methods concurrently, recognizing the necessity to exploit the appropriate method under any given circumstance. Hence, the implementation of the GS method does not make GridLAB-D's solution method inferior. It is simply a recognition that the circumstances of the power flow solution needed in GridLAB-D led to the choice of GS as the default power flow solver. Other power flow solvers can and should be implemented to address different circumstances. We encourage users and developers to consider doing so.
Important note: The solution method requires that the best known voltage be used at all times. This means that each time a voltage is updated, all the branch YV contributions to adjacent busses must be immediately updated.
The node is one of the major components of the method used for solving a power flow network. In essence, the distribution network can be seen as a series of nodes and links. A node's primary responsibility is to act as an aggregation point for the links that are attached to it, and to update the current and voltage values that will be used in the calculations done in the links.
Three types of nodes are defined. Nodes are simply a basic object that exports the voltages for each phase. Triplex nodes export voltages for three lines off a single split phase. All other node objects can have one or more phases defined.
The types of nodes that are supported are the following:
- PQ buses are nodes that have both constant real and reactive power injections.
- PV buses are for nodes that have constant real power injection but can control reactive power injection.
- SWING buses are nodes that are designated to absorb the residual error and are also used for generators that can control both real and reactive power injections.
The PQ bus is the most commonly found bus type in electric network models. PQ buses are nodes where both the real power (P) and reactive power (Q) are given. In these cases, the updated voltage at a node is found from an existing (non-zero) voltage using
The PV bus is the next most common bus type in electric network model. PV buses are nodes where the real power (P) is given, but the reactive power (Q) must be determined at each iteration. In these cases, the updated voltage for a node is found by calculating (3.2) If Q exceeds the Q limits [Qmin, Qmax], then the angle is fixed to the corresponding limit and the bus is solved as a PQ bus.
The SWING bus occurs at least once in any given island of a network models. Large models may have more than one SWING bus, particularly if areas of the network are only lightly coupled by relatively high-impedance links. SWING bus nodes are nodes where both the real power (P) and reactive power (Q) must be determined each iteration. In these cases, the updated voltage for a node is found by
The link object implements the general solution elements for branches using the GS method. The following sequence of operations is performed on each branch during a bottom-up sync event.
The effective admittance Y is calculated by including half of the line charging capacitance B (Kundur 1993):
The admittance coefficient is the inverse of the transformer turns ratio, if any (Kundur 1993):
The effective line self-admittance is the product of the admittance coefficient and component admittance:
Add the self-admittance and the shunt admittances to the busses (Kundur 1993):
Compute the line current injections on the busses:
Add the current injections to the busses:
Network module implementation
The network module implements the Gauss-Seidel solution method for balanced positive-sequence flow power models of transmission systems.
The module global variables are shown in Table 1.
|acceleration_factor||double||1.4||pu||The voltage update gain factor (usually between 1.4 and 1.7)|
|convergence_limit||double||0.001||V||The maximum allowable voltage change for iteration to halt|
|mvabase||double||1.0||MVA||The megaVolt-Amp basis to use in calculating powers|
|kvbase||double||12.5||kV||The kiloVolt basis to use calculating voltages|
|model_year||int16||2000||CE||The basis year of the model|
|model_case||char8||"S"||[WSF]||The basis of the case (e.g., winter, summer, fall)|
|model_name||char32||"(unnamed)"||*||The name of the model|
Network node objects represent busses in the transmission network. Three types of nodes are possible, and selecting using the type property:
- PQ busses are general busses that have constant power (both real and reactive power are invariant);
- PV busses are busses that have constant real power, but reactive power must be computed; and
- SWING busses are busses for which both real and reactive power must be computed and there must be at least one SWING bus per network island.
The node class must clear the admittance and current injection accumulators on the pre-topdown pass and compute the new voltage on the bottom-up pass of synchronization. The voltage update pseudo code is as follows:
self-admittance <- admittance-accumulator + complex (conductance + j susceptance) if type is SWING power <= conjugate ( conjugate voltage x ( self-admittance x voltage + current-injection-accumulator ) ) new-voltage <= voltage voltage-change <= complex zero else if self-admittance non-zero if type is PV imaginary power <= imaginary ( voltage * ( self-admittance x voltage + current-injection-accumulator ) ) if imaginary power less-than minimum reactive-limit imaginary power <= minimum-reactive-limit new-voltage <= ( conjugate power / conjugate voltage - current-injection-accumulator ) / self-admittance else if imaginary power greater-than maximum reactive-limit imaginary power <= minimum-reactive-limit new-voltage <= ( conjugate power / conjugate voltage - current-injection-accumulator ) / self-admittance else new-voltage <= ( conjugate power / conjugate voltage - current-injection-accumulator ) / self-admittance magnitude new-voltage <= magnitude voltage end end voltage-change <= new-voltage - voltage voltage <= new-voltage end else new-voltage <= voltage voltage-change <= complex zero end for each branch in incident-branches-list current-change <= voltage-change x branch.admittance / branch.turns-ratio if node is branch.from-bus other-bus <= branch.to-bus else other-bus <= branch.from-bus end other-bus.current-injection-accumulator <+ current-change end if magnitude voltage-change greater-than convergence-limit time-step <= zero else time-step <= infinity end
The network link object represents branches in the transmission network. The link class must compute the initial voltage estimates for the solution during the first bottom-up synchronization pass. The link need not update the voltage in subsequent iterations for the same time-step unless the admittance or turns-ratio has changed. Changes to the current-injection-accumulators resulting from bus voltage changes are handled by the node's bottom-up pass. The code for the link bottom-up synchronization is as follows:
effective-admittance <= admittance + j line-susceptance / 2 admittance-contribution <= effective-admittance / turns-ratio from-bus.self-admittance-accumulator <+ admittance-contribution + admittance-contribution x ( 1/turns-ratio - 1 ) from-bus.current-injection-accumulator <+ to-bus.voltage x admittance / turns-ratio to-bus.self-admittance-accumulator <+ admittance-contribution + effective-admittance x ( 1 - 1/turns-ratio ) to-bus.current-injection-accumulator

Marcellus Lovejoy Stearns
Some description
Marcellus Lovejoy Stearns
Eleventh (acting) governor
March 18, 1875 to January 2, 1877
Oil over photograph, Claribel Jett, ca. 1960
Marcellus L. Stearns was born at Lovell, Me., on April 29, 1839. He left Waterville (now Colby) College in 1861 to join the Union army. During the Civil War, Stearns lost an arm at the Battle of Winchester. He studied law while in the Army and eventually was sent to Quincy, Fla., where he remained after his discharge.
Stearns was a member of both the 1868 constitutional convention and the Florida House of Representatives from 1868 through 1872, serving as speaker of the 1869 session. He was elected lieutenant governor in 1872 and succeeded to the governorship a year and a half later, upon the death of Governor Ossian Hart.
While Stearns was governor, Florida's budget was balanced, and tourists first began to flock to the state. In 1877, Stearns was appointed U.S. commissioner at Hot Springs, Ark., serving until 1880. He died in Palatine Bridge, N.Y., on December 8, 1891.

This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
Thanks for giving reply of my question. Their is another method with the name of parseInt it has two arguments parseInt(String, int); I cannot understand the meaning of int argument in this method. Please help me in this regard. Again thanks to all who gave me reply. Ahmer Arman
Ahmer The int argument is the radix that the String integer is in. In other words its base. A String such as "12349" would be base 10 so the parseInt call would be parseInt("12349", 10);. A String that is a hex representation could be something like "AF", so parseInt would be parseInt("AF", 16);. Basicaly your telling the method that this String your passing it is in a different base than base 10. hope that helps
------------------ Dave Sun Certified Programmer for the Java� 2 Platform
Well, since any number of classes COULD have a parseInt method - I am going to use my ESP and guess that you are talking about the one in the Integer class. That method is just saying that if you feed in a number in String format, and you specify that "base" that the number is being displayed in (that would be the second parameter), the method will feed you back the value of that number in base 10. Of course the String can only use digits that are valid in the base that you say that it is in - so if you say it is in base 5, then the String should only have digits 0,1,2,3 and 4 or else it will throw a NumberFormatException. The api gives a whole list of examples:

What's Blooming Now
Spatterdock-also known as cow lily-is a yellow-flowered water lily native to the backwaters, swamps and ponds of the Southeast. In Southwest Florida, it blooms throughout the year. The leaves, which can be up to 12 inches in diameter, vary greatly in shape, from rounded and heart-shaped to long and spear-shaped. Sometimes spatterdock float on the surface; other times they stand above it on slender stalks. Their flowers are easy to recognize-one-inch-diameter, rounded yellow buds that never open in the broad display of color we expect of other water lilies. A spatterdock flower in full bloom resembles a bud just beginning to open.
Spatterdock grows in shallow water and provides shelter for fishes and invertebrates. But when high levels of fertilizer from lawns and agricultural fields get into the water, they can become a nuisance, slowing flow in canals, increasing siltation, and sometimes growing in such dense aggregations that other plants are excluded. Spatterdock seeds were eaten by Native Americans; today their flat-topped seedheads are often used in dried flower arrangements.
