Which is the fastest draining soil?
sandy soilThe space between sand particles is large for water to flow through it.
Hence sandy soil drains faster than other types of soil..
What are the 3 soil particles?
Soil particles vary greatly in size, and soil scientists classify soil particles into sand, silt, and clay. Starting with the finest, clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter. Some clay particles are so small that ordinary microscopes do not show them. Silt particles are from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in diameter.
What is the name of the soil that is 60% silt 20% sand and 20% clay?
loamThe term loam refers to a soil with a combination of sand, silt, and clay sized particles.
What are the 5 components of air?
Components of Air – Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Water Vapour.
What percentage of oxygen is in exhaled air?
21 16Inhaled and exhaled airGas% in inhaled air% in exhaled airOxygen2116Carbon dioxide0.044Nitrogen7979NB These figures are approximate.
What are the 4 types of soil?
Soil is classified into four types:Sandy soil.Silt Soil.Clay Soil.Loamy Soil.
Is there air in the soil?
Soil is an organism that breathes in and out. Pores not filled with water are filled with soil air: a mixture of 79% nitrogen, less than 20.6% oxygen, and generally more than 0.2% carbon dioxide (CO2). The air in soil is in constant exchange with the atmosphere.
Is there oxygen in the soil?
The oxygen present in the atmosphere of the soil is used in different processes and may be limited by flooding or by soil compaction, affecting plant growth (Hillel, 2003; Lal and Shukla, 2004). There are three conditions that relate soil oxygen concentration to plants.
Does Sand hold air?
Sand particles are the largest and tend to hold little water but allow good aeration. Clay particles are very small in size and tend to pack down so that water does not drain well and little or no air can penetrate. Silt particles are medium sized and have properties in between those of sand and clay.
Which sand is best for gardening?
Due to its versatility, Sharp Sand is a good garden all-rounder. Ideal for screeds, renders or concrete, Sharp Sand can also be used when laying slabs or block paving….Sharp Sand:Washed, lime-free coarse sand.Improves drainage in seed and potting compost.Horticultural grade.
How do you get oxygen into soil?
Aerating soil or media allows for good plant growth, and regular cultivation of the soil and growing container allows the roots to draw in needed oxygen.
Does adding sand to soil make it drain better?
Sand is one of the cheapest things you can add to your garden soil that will help to break up the soil. The small particle size of the sand will get in between soil clods and break them up, increase drainage, and help to aerate the soil for good root development.
What percentage of air is?
Air is mostly gas The air in Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. Air also has small amounts of lots of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen.
What is the smallest soil particle?
clay particlesTexture – The particles that make up soil are categorized into three groups by size: sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest and clay particles the smallest.
How much air is in typical soil?
Soil Composition The basic components of soil are minerals, organic matter, water and air. The typical soil consists of approximately 45% mineral, 5% organic matter, 20-30% water, and 20-30% air. These percentages are only generalizations at best.
Which soil contains more air?
Loam soils generally contain more nutrients, moisture, and humus than sandy soils, have better drainage and infiltration of water and air than silt and clay-rich soils, and are easier to till than clay soils.
Does soil breathe?
Soils Breathe From burrowers to bacteria, the organisms that live in soils respire. Most of them take in oxygen to do their work, and they give off carbon dioxide, just as humans do. Soils breathe because they shelter and support living organisms.
Who is the father of soil science?
Vasily DokuchaevCelebrating the 175th anniversary of Vasily Dokuchaev, the father of soil science.
Does sand absorb water?
Sand absorbs water because sand particles have pores in them that, when dry, are filled with air. When the sand particles are wet, the air in the spores is replaced with water. … Sand by itself, without containing loam, silt or clay, has the least absorbent water capacity of all the soil types.
Is Gravel bigger than sand?
The difference between sand and gravel is simply the size of the material in question. … Sand particles are larger than silt but smaller than gravel. Gravel is a granular material derived from the erosion of rocks, ranging in size from 4.75 mm to 75 mm. Gravel particles are larger than sand but smaller than boulders.
Is air matter Yes or no?
But, like solids and liquids, air is matter. It has weight (more than we might imagine), it takes up space, and it is composed of particles too small and too spread apart to see. Air, a mixture of gases, shares properties with water vapor, the gaseous form of water that is part of air.

Decreased Levels of DNA Methylation in the PCDHA Gene Cluster as a Risk Factor for Early-Onset High Myopia in Young Children.
Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
Purpose: High myopia (HM), an eye disorder with at least -6.0 diopters refractive error, has a complex etiology with environmental, genetic, and likely epigenetic factors involved. To complement the DNA methylation assessment in children with HM, we analyzed genes that had significantly lower DNA methylation levels.
Methods: The DNA methylation pattern was studied based on the genome-wide methylation data of 18 Polish children with HM paired with 18 controls. Genes overlapping CG dinucleotides with decreased methylation level in HM cases were assessed by enrichment analyses. From those, genes with CG dinucleotides in promoter regions were further evaluated based on exome sequencing (ES) data of 16 patients with HM from unrelated Polish families, Sanger sequencing data of the studied children, and the RNA sequencing data of human retinal ARPE-19 cells.
Results: The CG dinucleotide with the most decreased methylation level in cases was identified in a promoter region of PCDHA10 that overlaps intronic regions of PCDHA1-9 of the PCDHA gene cluster in myopia 5q31 locus. Also, two single nucleotide variants, rs200661444, detected in our ES, and rs246073, previously found as associated with a refractive error in a genome-wide association study, were revealed within this gene cluster. Additionally, genes previously linked to ocular phenotypes, myopia-related traits, or loci, including ADAM20, ZFAND6, ETS1, ABHD13, SBSPON, SORBS2, LMOD3, ATXN1, and FARP2, were found to have decreased methylation.
Conclusions: Alterations in the methylation pattern of specific CG dinucleotides may be associated with early-onset HM, so this could be used to develop noninvasive biomarkers of HM in children and adolescents.

priorities (lower numbers), and general rules have lower priorities (higher numbers). Any alerts that do not meet the criteria of your specific rules are caught by the general rules.
 - Index your priorities—For a large deployment, you can index your priorities to correspond to groups within your organization. For example, you could set dev related rules to have priorities in the 100s, production related rules to have priorities in the 200s, and QA related rules to have priorities in the 300s. Ensuring that every rule is set to only match alerts from a specific device group, each department can work within their range of priorities to customize routing for their group, without affecting alerts for any other department.
 - Leave large gaps between priority levels—If your priority levels are too close together sequentially, you may need to edit the priorities for your existing rules to make room for new rules.
 - Test alert rules—Test alert delivery to ensure that alerts are routing as intended. For more information, see Testing Alert Delivery.
 - (For LM Integrations) Use a single alert rule for the entire alert lifecycle—If an alert rule references delivery to an alert integration as part of its escalation chain, that rule should be configured to match all potential alert level severities. This prevents duplicate behavior or orphaned incidents in your third-party tool.
 When LogicMonitor delivers alert information to a third-party tool, LogicMonitor looks for an external reference (for example, a ticket ID number) for that alert. This reference is returned to LogicMonitor by the third-party tool. LogicMonitor captures this reference, and associates it with the alert using a key that consists of the alert rule ID and integration ID. This key is then used to tie all future activity for that alert back to the original target integration object.
 If an external reference is not found for an alert, the integration creates a new object. If an external reference is found, the integration updates the existing object.
 Example Alert Rule Setup
 The following screenshot depicts a sample set of alert rules:
 The highest priority rule is "Production Warning Alerts". It filters out all alerts with a severity level of "Warn" in the child groups under production. This rule posts alert notifications to a messaging tool (using LM Integrations) every 30 minutes, until the alert is acknowledged or cleared.
 The second highest priority rule is "Production Database Alerts." It only matches alerts on DataSources that have the term "SQL" somewhere in the name for devices in the child groups under the servers group. Since the "Warn" alerts are filtered out by the first rule, this rule only picks up database alerts with severity levels of "Error" or "Critical." The stage one recipients of the "DB Admins" escalation chain is notified first, and if they do not acknowledge the alert and it does not clear within 15 minutes, it is sent to the stage two recipients. After 15 minutes, if nobody has acknowledged the alert and it has not cleared, the alert escalates to stage three. Stage three does not have recipients, so no one is notified. Since alert notifications are repeatedly sent to stage three until the alert is acknowledged or cleared, having an empty last stage is essentially ensuring that nobody is notified after the alert escalates past stage two.
 Note: When sending alert notifications to a ticketing system in one of your stages, ensure that you have either a zero resend interval or a subsequent stage with a different delivery method. This prevents multiple tickets for the same condition.
 The next highest priority rule is "Production Server Alerts". It matches any alerts with a severity level of "Error" or "Critical" for any resource in any child group under the servers group. Since this rule has a lower priority (that is, a higher number) than the "Production Database Alerts" rule, any error or critical alerts that do not originate from a SQL DataSource match this rule instead. This alert rule catches the overflow—anything that is not going to the database team is picked up by the server team.
 The fourth rule routes all alerts with a severity level of "Error" or "Critical" for resources in the child groups of the network group. All alerts with a severity level of "Warn" are filtered out so this rule is catches error and critical alerts that are not routed to the database or server teams.

Strict air pollution control in Jakarta
This week the administration of Jakarta city starts to provide the extension of the air pollution control policy in order to improve the poor air quality in the capital. The thing is that Jakarta is considered to be a city with one of the worst air quality in the world, thus, Jakarta and its satellite cities require stricter air pollution control measures, especially, to reduce the level of pollutants from the transportation sector, whose air pollution level accounts for 70-80%, according to surveys.
Thus, it is highly necessary to establish air pollution control restrictions not only to target cars but also motorcycles to greatly reduce emissions, because motorcycles amount for 75% of all vehicles, while cars only account for 23%. It should be noted that Jakarta is one of the first cities in Indonesia to have forced a law on air pollution into an application.
The first attempts of the Jakarta administration's air pollution control allow demonstrating that "efforts to ease traffic congestion were an integral part of improving air quality". Nevertheless, the restrictions in public transportation do not promote a crucial reduction in vehicular emissions because of insufficient enforcement of air pollution control measures.
For example, it was registered that the air quality of Jakarta was the worst in the world on Aug. 3 (with air pollution level of 174 AQI), while this week the level of air pollutants accounted for 135 Air Quality Index and it continues improving. In spite of the fact that Jakarta's air quality hesitates, it requires a lot of time until the residents of Jakarta could see blue skies. Therefore, the Central Jakarta District Court may force the city administration and the other defendants to enforce air pollution control regulations.
Finally, "a strong commitment by the people is the key to significant improvement of the city's air quality because any policies on air pollution control demand trade-offs from residents and commuters". It means that according to the air pollution control regulations it is required to change the convenience of riding private vehicles, pay more for environmentally friendly fuels and regularly monitor the vehicles to meet the emissions standards.

RNG: The Science Behind Bitcoin Dice Results
RNG: The Science Behind Bitcoin Dice Results
When people play at a Bitcoin dice casino, the basic gameplay is to make a guess on whether the result will be high or low. This refers to whether a roll will be higher or lower than a target number. The earliest Bitcoin dice sites had a set number, giving players only a choice of higher or lower. Further refinements in other sites have players being able to manipulate the target number. However, the core of the game stays the same, which is the generation of a random number. These results are provided by a random number generator.
How do dice gambling sites get their results?
What is a random number generator or RNG for short? These are mathematical algorithms that allow games to generate a random number in a fair manner. It is not just gambling sites that use them. They are also used in encryption software, videos games, and other programs that require a random result.
An RNG uses algorithms that create a set of numbers, limited to a particular range of numbers. Depending on the type of algorithm used, these RNGS can come up with millions of different outcomes within a fraction of a second. Some of them even take into account the time variable to ensure that the results are constantly changing.
These random number generators are not completely random, though. There are sequences and patterns that an observant player can use to figure out future results. This is why a lot of RNGs are extremely complicated and heavily encrypted to make it difficult to figure out a pattern.
Additionally, RNGs constantly come up with numbers even when they are not being used. With 24/7 number generation, it makes it virtually impossible for players to spot patterns in the gameplay. Additional precautions include using the time and date as part of the variables used for increased randomness.
Beyond Bitcoin dice
Bitcoin dice casinos are one of the most popular users of RNGs; however, other gambling games use the random number generators, too. Remember that the essence of gambling is about random results and they all need that to function properly. Besides being used in dice sites, they also happen to be popular in slot machine games.
Random number generators also did a lot of work with card games. The algorithm used with card games is a bit different since it gives each card a number value equating the different values of the cards along with the amount of decks been used. The numbers generated are then stored in a data set, simulating a shuffled deck. Once all the cards are drawn, a new set is created. Other games have their own protocols.
Random number generators are the heart of online gambling—especially of Bitcoin casinos with dice games—and appreciating their use is what every gambler should do.

Ceph Grunt Commander units are a variations of Ceph Grunts that appear in Crysis 2.
Ceph Combat Command Units are very similar to the Stalker Commanders. Both have dark, red-colored flesh resembling jelly underneath their armored exoskeletons. The Grunt and Stalker Commanders also have red-colored shields that activate when the player's presence is discovered. Upon death, Ceph Grunt Commanders will drop 300 Nano Catalyst. They also have slightly different helmets, displaying their eyes more as slits rather than a standard grunts more circular eyes.
The main differences between Grunt and Stalker Commanders are that they command different units and wield different weapons. The Grunt Commanders are in control of a squad of Grunts and have a pulse rifle attached to their arm, as opposed to the blade of the Stalker Commanders. Once a battle starts, the Grunt Commander will activate its shield, which emits a red glow. Once enough damage is dealt to the Grunt Commander, its shield will dissipate and the Grunt Commander becomes as vulnerable as the Grunts that serve underneath them.

A Faster Implementation of a Parallel Tree Contraction Scheme and Its Application on Distance-Hereditary Graphs
Sun Yuan Hsieh, Chin Wen Ho, Tsan Sheng Hsu, Ming Tat Ko, Gen Huey Chen

Abstract
We consider a parallel tree contraction scheme which in each contraction phase removes leaves and nodes in the maximal chains. Let T(n) and P(n) denote the time and processor complexity required to compute the all nearest smaller values (ANSV) and the minimum of n values for input elements drawn from the integer domain [1 . . . n]. In this paper, we give a faster implementation of the tree contraction scheme which takes O(log n · T(n)) time using P(n) processors on an arbitrary CRCW PRAM. The current best results of T(n) and P(n) are O(log log log n) and O(n/log log log n), respectively. To our knowledge, the previously best known implementation needs O(log2 n) time using O(n/log n) processors on an EREW PRAM. The faster parallel implementation of the tree contraction scheme may be of interests by itself. We then show the above scheme can be utilized to solve problems on distance-hereditary graphs. We provide a data structure to represent a connected distance-hereditary graph in the form of a rooted tree. By applying the above tree contraction scheme on our data structure together with graph theoretical properties, we solve the problems of finding a minimum connected γ-dominating set and finding a minimum γ-dominating clique on a distance-hereditary graph in O(log n · T(n)) time using O(P(n) + (n + m)/T(n)) processors on an arbitrary CRCW PRAM, where n and m are the number of vertices and edges of the given graph, respectively. The above result implies several other problems related to the minimum γ-dominating clique problem can be solved with the same parallel complexities.

Assessment of and Recommendations for Staff Appraisal Systems and Training Needs Analysis for the Ministry of Agriculture of the RA
Project Completed: 2016
Agriculture production has been and continues to be one of the leading sectors of the Armenian economy that together with agriculture processing makes up about 25% of the GDP of the country. The importance of the sector was assessed by the Eastern Neighborhood Partnership for Agriculture and Rural Development (ENPARD) that jointly with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) initiated the project to strengthen the technical potential of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA). Within the scope of the technical assistance provided to MoA, it is planned to strengthen the institutional and capacity development of Government stakeholders, which includes assessment of the current human resource appraisal system in the Ministry and making recommendations for the introduction of new staff appraisal systems and training programs.
The main objective of the assignment is supporting the Ministry of Agriculture and adjacent agencies personnel to run more effective working practices that will result in the successful implementation of Sustainable Agricultural Development Strategy. This assumes suggestions on human resources training and development systems within the MoA and its relevant agencies, that are effective and in line with European best practices.

Assume that the world economy consists of two countries
Question Background: Assume that the world economy consists of two countries: Russia and Byelorussia. Each country can produce tomatoes and potatoes. Russia can produce 1000 tons of tomatoes or 3000 tons of potatoes or any linear combination of tomatoes and potatoes that satisfies potatoes+3×tomatoes=3000. Byelorussia can produce 1000 tons of tomatoes or 1000 tons of or any linear combination of tomatoes and potatoes that satisfies potatoes+tomatoes=1000. Countries can freely trade with each other.
There are three specific questions that I'm unclear on and would like a more detailed solution to. These detailed solutions would preferably be a written explanation (possibly accompanied by a graph):
c) (2 points) If the equilibrium price of tomatoes is $600/ton, what is the minimum and maximum
possible prices of potatoes?
Answer: min = $200 max = $600
d) (3 points) Assume people in both countries eat the same dish that requires the equal amount of
tomatoes and potatoes to prepare. What will be the Russia's GDP if the equilibrium price of tomatoes is
Answer: World production: T=P=1500, price of potatos=$200; Russia produces 1500tons of potatoes and 500
tons of tomatoes. Thus, GDP=1500*200+$500*600=$600,000
e) (3 points) Given the same information as in question (d) above, how many tons of potatoes will be
consumed in Russia?

How to Hang a Dartboard in a Cabinet
A dartboard mounted on a bare wall can lead to pretty several holes inside the wall from darts that miss the target. 1 method to resolve this challenge is always to hang the dartboard within a cabinet that could support defend the wall from errant shots. Most cabinets are constructed from wood and have doors that will conceal the board when it really is not in use. You could hang a dartboard inside a wall cabinet within a handful of minutes with some simple hand tools.
 1. Measure the height with the dartboard cabinet and divide the measurement in half. Subtract that measurement from five feet eight inches, measure up in the floor to this height and spot a horizontal pencil mark around the wall.
 2. Find the wall studs just above the mark and note the centers on the studs around the wall using a pencil.
 3. Position the dartboard cabinet to ensure that its bottom edge is aligned with all the horizontal pencil mark. Adjust the board in order that the 4 mounting holes are aligned with all the centers on the two wall studs, then adjust the angle in the cabinet using a level. Drive a two 1/2-inch wood screw by way of every single of your pre-drilled holes within the back in the cabinet in to the studs making use of a energy drill having a lengthy screw bit.
 4. Attach the mounting bracket for the dartboard towards the two hole places within the center on the cabinet having a screwdriver.
 5. Insert the mounting screw in to the center of your back from the dartboard. Drive the screw till it can be flush, then back it out a single complete turn.
 6. Attach the 3 rubber bumpers in the dartboard kit evenly spaced about the perimeter in the dartboard having a screwdriver. Then position the dartboard in to the cabinet and slip the head on the center screw in to the mounting bracket. In the event the board is also loose, get rid of it and tighten the screw slightly, then remount the dartboard. Rotate the dart board till the 20 position is pointing straight up.

What is an ISD?
The 57 intermediate school districts (ISDs) or regional educational agencies (RESAs) were created by the legislature in 1962 to bring about quality and equitable educational opportunities to students and schools throughout the state. ISDs accomplish this mission in a number of ways, namely by:
 1. Creating and promoting economies of scale through things like cooperative purchasing, sharing services such as technology and business services, and special education services;
 2. Sharing current and credible research, best practices, and innovation through initiatives like professional development; and
 3. Providing oversight and liaison roles through programs like Career and Technical Education, special education and much more.
Over the course of the past decade, the unique roles of ISDs have adapted to include increased calls for educational accountability. For example, our ISD is taking an active role in helping member districts understand, comply, and implement the standards required under the complex federal No Child Left Behind law and the state accreditation system. We are also building and sustaining local partnerships and sharing credible research on the importance of early childhood care and education. By working with work development boards, business and industry, ISDs help promote growing economies and stable communities.
ISDs serve the educational needs of their constituent local districts.

Calculate the time spent
You can easily calculate how much time a function takes to run, using time() and timeEnd()
const doSomething = () => console.log('test')
const measureDoingSomething = () => {
 //do something, and measure the time it takes
Use console time
Generate a CPU profile
The DevTools allow you to analyze the CPU profile performance of any function.
You can start that manually, but the most accurate way to do so is to wrap what you want to monitor between the profile() and profileEnd() commands. They are similar to time() and timeEnd(), except they don't just measure time, but create a more detailed report.
const measureDoingSomething = () => {
 //do something, and measure its performance

RCET kicked-off their Creative Technology Tools camp this morning in the AT&T Classroom. Across the week, participants will be introduced to variety of web-based programs and tablet apps for creating stories, animations, and videos. Below is a listing of the tools that the children explored on the first day of the camp:
Pic Collage is a free app that children can use to create collages of photos taken with an iPad or iphone. At this morning's camp the children decorated their photos by adding text, stickers, backgrounds, and borders & then presented their creations on the big screen.
KidPix 3D is a multimedia program that allows children to create digital projects and animated stories projects viewable with 3D glasses. Children have access to multi-layered 3D backgrounds and 100 video backgrounds and can also add narration. KidPix 3D can be purchased for both Apple & PC platforms at _URL_
SockPuppets is an iPad app for creating lip-synced puppet videos. The app can be downloaded at no cost from the itunes App store.
At the end of the morning the children were introduced to Kodable, an iPad app that introduces basic elements of coding and programming to young children. Our upcoming summer camp Secret Code for the Young Programmer will provide opportunities for campers to explore Kodable in depth to create games & animation. The camp runs July 21-24, 9-11:30 a.m. Registration is open online by clicking here.


that identifies the vendor responsible for the extension, and feature is the name of the feature. New element names should not be created. Using attributes for such extensions exclusively allows extensions from multiple vendors to co-exist on the same element, which would not be possible with elements. Using the "x-vendor-feature" form allows extensions to be made without risk of conflicting with future additions to the specification.
For instance, a browser named "FerretBrowser" could use "ferret" as a vendor prefix, while a browser named "Mellblom Browser" could use "mb". If both of these browsers invented extensions that turned elements into scratch-and-sniff areas, an author experimenting with these features could write:
This smells of lemons!
Attribute names beginning with the two characters "x-" are reserved for user agent use and are guaranteed to never be formally added to the HTML language. For flexibility, attributes names containing underscores (the U+005F LOW LINE character) are also reserved for experimental purposes and are guaranteed to never be formally added to the HTML language.
Pages that use such attributes are by definition non-conforming.
For DOM extensions, e.g. new methods and IDL attributes, the new members should be prefixed by vendor-specific strings to prevent clashes with future versions of this specification.
For events, experimental event names should be prefixed with vendor-specific strings.
For example, if a user agent called "Pleasold" were to add an event to indicate when the user is going up in an elevator, it could use the prefix "pleasold" and thus name the event "pleasoldgoingup", possibly with an event handler attribute named "onpleasoldgoingup".
All extensions must be defined so that the use of extensions neither contradicts nor causes the non-conformance of functionality defined in the specification.
For example, while strongly discouraged from doing so, an implementation "Foo Browser" could add a new IDL attribute "fooTypeTime" to a control's DOM interface that returned the time it took the user to select the current value of a control (say). On the other hand, defining a new control that appears in a form's elements array would be in violation of the above requirement, as it would violate the definition of elements given in this specification.
Note: Someone could write a specification that defines any arbitrary byte stream as conforming, and then claim that their random junk is conforming. However, that does not mean that their random junk actually is conforming for everyone's purposes: if someone else decides that that specification does not apply to their work, then they can quite legitimately say that the aforementioned random junk is just that, junk, and not conforming at all. As far as conformance goes, what matters in a particular community is what that community agrees is applicable.

What is the best book for identifying British butterflies and moths?
Unfortunately there is no single book that covers the subject, but I can recommend two, one on butterflies and one on moths. The best reference book for butterflies is, in my opinion, "The Butterflies of Britain & Ireland" by Jeremy Thomas and Richard Lewington. This is published in association with the National Trust and costs £16.99. For moths there is the "Field Guide to the Moths of Great Britain and Ireland" by Paul Waring and Martin Townsend, with illustrations by Richard Lewington. This costs £29.95. Until I got this book two years ago I used to struggle with moth identifications (and still do but to a far lesser extent!). Apart from that, there is also "Colour Identification to the Moths of the British Isles" by Bernard Skinner. This costs around £40, and is useful for showing details of the under wings, whereas the Waring and Townsend book shows the moths at rest, with their wings folded, just as you will encounter them.
What kind of trap do you use?
I use a Robinson trap, which many people consider to be the Rolls-Royce of moth traps. The downside is that it costs the best part of £400, though it is sometimes possible to purchase one much cheaper through the Internet. There are other traps, the Skinner and the Actinic. The Skinner works on the same principle as the Robinson and though less efficient is a much cheaper trap. The Actinic uses a low light emission lamp and has the advantage of portability, since it is relatively small and can be operated from a car battery. The other two require mains electricity or a generator.
Are the moths harmed by the traps?
Certainly not! Trapping moths is in order to study and record them, not destroy them. What happens is that they are attracted to the light and then go inside the trap to roost. They will (usually!) remain there until daybreak or until the light is switched off, then they make their way out. After the identification and counting process is completed, they are placed under cover so that they remain protected from predators, especially birds, and can leave in their own time, though most will stay put until the early evening before departing.
So you don't kill them and use pins to stick them on boards?
Again, certainly not! It is true that sometimes moths are forwarded for an inspection for scientific reasons that can, unfortunately, entail them being killed, but personally I have never done this. If you want to "collect" moths and butterflies, do it with the camera.
How many moths do you get in the trap?
The highest number I have ever had is over 600, but that is unusual. During the peak period from July to September a normal count would be between 1,000 and 250. But you have to be prepared for nights when you get nothing at all. Generally speaking, warm, humid summer nights are when the highest numbers occur.
What is the highest number you have ever trapped of a single species?
I had 237 Large Yellow Underwings one night in September 2005. That was higher than normal, but around here to get over 100 of this species is not uncommon.
Do moths only fly during the night?
Definitely not. There are several day-flying species of moth, in fact one of the most common moths I get asked to identify is the Six-spot Burnet, which is a very common day-flying moth found along the North Downs in Kent. Another, though not yet seen in Kent, is the Jersey Tiger, which has started to colonise counties in the south-west as far inland as Gloucestershire. I saw dozens of them in the gardens of Hidcote Manor some years ago, which were proving a great puzzle to other visitors striving to identify this strange "butterfly".
What is the best way to attract butterflies into my garden?
There is a whole range of suitable plants that will certainly attract butterflies (and moths) of certain species, but what they really like are places that have been left untended. Many modern species of plants are totally unsuitable for butterflies because they either do not provide the nectar or because it is there but the butterflies can't reach it. Some plants they find unattractive, perhaps because they are the wrong colours. For an example, the cultivated buddleias in my garden get a fraction of the butterflies on them compared with one growing wild just a few hundred yards away. The Royal Horticultural Society publishes a booklet on some of the plants that you can grow, which you may find a help.
There seem to be a lot less butterflies around than there were when I was younger. Is this really the case?
Unfortunately it is. Butterflies and moths have been on the decline for many years, not helped by recent weather patterns in which we have had a series of cold springs and autumns. This has had a detrimental effect on butterflies such as the Small Tortoiseshell and Red Admiral, which hibernate and emerge to lay their eggs in the spring, the butterflies from which, in their turn, are the generation that lays the eggs for the later brood hibernating the following winter. Thus they suffer at both ends of the cycle. Even more important than numbers is the sharp decline in the variety of butterfly species. Within the last couple of years it is likely that the Pearl-bordered Fritillary, which was just hanging on in woods near Canterbury, has finally become extinct in Kent. Two others, the Wall and the Grayling, are now only seen in the very south-east part of the county along the coast in diminishing numbers, while others, the Duke of Burgundy Fritillary, Heath Fritillary and Silver-spotted Skipper are confined to just a few enclaves. Several others are becoming increasingly rare, among them the Grizzled Skipper, Small Copper, Dark Green Fritillary and Small Heath.
What camera do you use?
I use a Fujifilm S5000 digital camera. Although not an ideal camera in several respects it is affordable and with a little perseverance can take superb photographs. The main drawback is that it switches itself off automatically while you are waiting to take a picture, and then has to be turned on again. When taking photographs of any form of wildlife this can be a constant irritation as the subject can choose that moment to take off so you miss your chance. Another is that you get a shadow at the bottom of the picture when using flashlight for close-ups (and hence I rarely try to use it). Also, the zoom does not give such good results in macro mode (or maybe that is just me being inept?).
Are there any special tips for photographing butterflies and moths?
Yes - take lots of photos while you have the chance and, where possible, try changing the background and the position with respect to the light. I have sometimes taken 50 or more photos in order to get the one excellent one you see on the website. Another is to inspect the photos you have just take immediately afterwards, because can be quite infuriating to find they are all out of focus after the moth has flown away.
Do butterflies and moths make easy subjects for photography?
Well yes and no! Most moths are fairly docile during the day and will readily submit to being picked up on a pencil gently inserted beneath their body and deposited on a suitable surface. Others are just the opposite and will either fly away if disturbed, or, in the case of moths, immediately head for cover. A moth has many enemies and to survive it has keep still and to try to blend in with its background or it has to hide.
I have seen a caterpillar with a big sting on the tail - is this harmful?
No, but you and any potential predators are encouraged to think that it is! These are the caterpillars of the hawk-moths and it is an appendage meant to look just like a sting. It certainly worked in your case. You are far more likely to be "stung" by other caterpillars, some of which can secret a liquid that causes skin irritations. As a rule of thumb, avoid using your bare hands to pick up caterpillars with lots of yellow markings.
Is the main difference between butterflies and moths that butterflies close their wings vertically and moths close them flat?
You might expect that to be the case but it is not true. Skipper butterflies do not close their wings vertically, instead they rest with the upper wing open at an angle of around 30o. On the other hand, several moths of the Geometrid family, which is the one closest to butterflies in many respects, can close their wings vertically and in many other ways including colour can resemble butterflies. Hence why I am sometimes asked about the big green butterfly that has been seen, which, of course, is a Large Emerald moth

Before use, you should carefully study the contraindications and consult a dermatologist. And only go to certified clinics and medical centers.
How does alexandrite laser differ from a diode laser
How does alexandrite laser differ from a diode laser
So, what is the difference between the two lasers.
1. Principle of operation
The alexandrite laser produces radiation energy that acts on melanin and destroys hair cells. The diode laser penetrates much deeper.
2. What hair removal is it intended for?
The Alexandrite laser is only effective for dark hair on white skin. It is categorically impossible to use it if the skin is dark, tanned, and also to sunbathe within two weeks after epilation. The diode laser also removes lighter and finer hair and can also be used on darker skin.
3. How is the procedure going
The alexandrite laser does not come into contact with the skin, the hair is removed by means of a flash, it is, as it were, burned out. The procedure is accompanied by a specific smell of burnt hair. In the case of a diode laser, epilation is carried out by a contact method, using a special gel that serves as a conductor.
4. Feelings during epilation
If you come across an ad in an advertisement that laser hair removal is completely painless, this is certainly not the case. Painful sensations depend largely on the area of exposure. For example, in the deep bikini area, they will be present. However, beauticians advise against using pain relievers if you can be in pain. The nature of the pain is slightly different when using these two lasers: in the case of alexandrite sensation, pinpoint, diode - longer.
5. Result
Hair after any laser falls out within two to three weeks, but after alexandrite hair over the skin is burned, when using a diode laser, it does not change its appearance. For dark hair on light skin, both lasers give good results. It also depends on the individual, so it makes sense to try both. Many people switch from alexandrite to a diode laser, as after several procedures the hair becomes thinner and lighter.

Question of the Week
browse by: questions
Thanks to Chris Busse for this great question!
And yes, it will! Heartleaf skullcap (Scutellariaovata) is one of the relatively few plants that go dormant in the summer, instead of the winter, thus defying our in grained view of how plants behave in response to seasonal changes. We're quite accustomed to plants going dormant in the winter, but usually around here, if something dies back in the SUMMER, it actually IS dead.
Since plants can't just get up and walk away when the weather gets bad, they have to adopt other strategies to deal with the changing seasons. Plants that are native to our temperate climatic zone usually respond to COOLER temperatures and SHORTER days by going to sleep to avoid potentially harmful clashes with the cold of winter.
But certain plants may also respond to the stress of extreme heat and drought,and the LONG days of INTENSE sunlightin the same manner-by hunkering down for a little nap until the situation improves.
Heartleaf skullcap does just fine here in our Central Texas winters, but doesn't care so much for our hot, dry summers. Even in "normal" summers, with a few DAYS, rather than a few MONTHS of temperatures over a hundred degrees, heartleaf skullcap more often than not avoids heat stress by dying back to the ground in summer.
In fall, it re-sprouts from underground stems. In fact, with October's cooler temperatures, Chris has seen her rebound.
Consider planting this native groundcover under winter dormant perennials. The silvery fuzzy leaves and later flowers will fill in the blank spaces. When it goes underground for summer, your hot-weather perennials will be back to get the spotlight.

Method
GdkDisplaytranslate_key
Declaration [src]
gboolean
gdk_display_translate_key (
 GdkDisplay* display,
 guint keycode,
 GdkModifierType state,
 int group,
 guint* keyval,
 int* effective_group,
 int* level,
 GdkModifierType* consumed
)
Description [src]
Translates the contents of a GdkEventKey into a keyval, effective group, and level.
Modifiers that affected the translation and are thus unavailable for application use are returned in consumed_modifiers.
The effective_group is the group that was actually used for the translation; some keys such as Enter are not affected by the active keyboard group. The level is derived from state.
consumed_modifiers gives modifiers that should be masked out from state when comparing this key press to a keyboard shortcut. For instance, on a US keyboard, the plus symbol is shifted, so when comparing a key press to a <Control>plus accelerator <Shift> should be masked out.
This function should rarely be needed, since GdkEventKey already contains the translated keyval. It is exported for the benefit of virtualized test environments.
Parameters
keycode
Type: guint
A keycode.
state
Type: GdkModifierType
A modifier state.
group
Type: int
Active keyboard group.
keyval
Type: guint*
Return location for keyval.
The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
effective_group
Type: int*
Return location for effective group.
The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
level
Type: int*
Return location for level.
The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
consumed
Type: GdkModifierType
Return location for modifiers that were used to determine the group or level.
The argument will be set by the function.
The argument can be NULL.
The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
Return value
Type: gboolean
TRUE if there was a keyval bound to keycode/state/group.

server product in an organisation, no matter which device they use to gain access. In other words, if you run five copies of Windows Server 2008 on five separate servers, you only need one User CAL for each person in your organisation who access those servers (or any software installed on those servers), whether they access a single server, all five servers, or some number in between. Each user with a single CAL assigned to them can access the server software from as many devices as they want (for example, desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, etc.). User CALs are a popular licensing option.
Device CALs: Device CALs allow access to all instances of a particular server application from a single device (for example, a desktop computer, a laptop, etc.) in your organisation. Device CALs only make sense when multiple employees use the same computer. For example, in 24-hour call centres different employees on different shifts often use the same machine, so Device CALs make sense in this situation.
Choosing a licensing mode for your Windows Server CALs: With Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, you use a CAL (either a User CAL or a Device CAL) in one of two licensing modes: per seat or per server. You make this decision when you're installing your Windows Server products, not when you acquire the CALs. The CALs themselves don't have any mode designation, so you can use either a User CAL or a Device CAL in either mode. Per seat mode is the default mode, and the one used most frequently. The description of User CALs and Device CALs above describes the typical per seat mode. In "per server" mode, Windows treats each license as a "simultaneous connection." In other words, if you have 40 CALs, Windows will let 40 authenticated users have access. The 41st user will be denied access. However, in per server mode, each CAL is tied to a particular instance of Windows Server, and you have to acquire a new set of licenses for each new server you build that runs Windows. Therefore, per server mode works for some small organisations with one or two servers and limited access requirements.
You don't "install" client licenses the way you install software. There are ways to automate the tracking of software licenses indirectly, but the server software can't refuse access to a user or device on licensing grounds. The licenses don't leave any "digital footprint" that the server software can read. An exception to this occurs when you license Windows Server in per server mode. In this case, if you have 50 licenses, the 51st authenticated user will be denied access (though anonymous users can still access services).
Some key points to remember about client licensing:
The licensing scenarios described in this section arise less frequently, and are too complex to cover completely in this article, so they're described briefly below along with more comprehensive resources.
You don't need client licenses for anonymous, unauthenticated external users. In other words, if someone accesses your Web site, and that site runs on Internet Information Server (IIS), Microsoft's Web serving software, you don't need a client license for any of those anonymous users.
If you have any authenticated external users who access services on your Windows-based servers, you can obtain CALs to cover their licensing requirements. However, the External Connector License (ECL) is a second option in this scenario. The ECL covers all use by authenticated external users, but it's a lot more expensive than a CAL, so only get one if you'll have a lot of external users. For example, even if you get your licenses through the CTXchange donation program, an ECL for Windows Server 2008 has an £76 administrative fee, while a User CAL for Windows Server 2008 carries a £1 admin fee. If only a handful of external users access your Windows servers, you're better off acquiring User CALs. Also, an ECL only applies to external users and devices. In other words, if you have an ECL, you still have to get a CAL for all employees and contractors.
Even though Terminal Services (TS) is built into Windows Server 2003 and 2008, you need to get a separate TS CAL for each client (i.e. each user or each device) that will access Terminal Services in your organisation. This TS license is in addition to your Windows Server CALs.
Microsoft's System Centre products (a line of enterprise-level administrative software packages) use a special type of license known as a management license (ML). Applications that use this type of licensing include System Center Configuration Manager 2007 and System Center Operations Manager 2007. Any desktop or workstation managed by one of these applications needs a client management license. Any server managed by one of these applications requires a server management license, and there are two types of server management licenses – standard and enterprise. You need one or the other but not both. There are also special licensing requirements if you're managing virtual instances of Windows operating systems. For more information, see TechSoup's Guide to System Center Products and Licensing and Microsoft's white paper on Systems Center licensing.
Some Microsoft server products have two client licensing modes, standard and enterprise. As you might imagine, an Enterprise CAL grants access to more advanced features of a product. Furthermore, with some products, such as Microsoft Exchange, the licenses are additive. In other words, a user needs both a Standard CAL AND an Enterprise CAL in order to access the advanced features. See Exchange Server 2007 Editions and Client Access Licenses for more information.
With virtualisation technologies, multiple operating systems can run simultaneously on a single physical server. Every time you install a Microsoft application, whether on a physical hardware system or a virtual hardware system, you create an "instance" of that application. The number of "instances" of particular application that you can run using a single license varies from product to product. For more information see the Volume Licensing Briefs, Microsoft Licensing for Virtualization and the Windows Server Virtualization Calculator. For TechSoup Stock products, see the product description for more information.
There are a lot of nuances to Microsoft licensing, and also a lot of excellent resources to help you understand different scenarios.

Fluid Mechanics/Fluid Statics/Hydraulic Systems
Using hydraulic systems, heavy bodies can be lifted using low force. The basic concept is that the pressure of all fluid particles is constant at same height.
pressure p=∅*h*g (∅ is density,h is height,g is gravitational constant)
also p=F/A (F is force and A is area of the surface)
if F and A are small on one side to maintain pressure F and A will be more at other side.

Can you recover deleted files from SharePoint?
As is known to all, Microsoft SharePoint is a web application that enables users and teams to create, store and share documents, data and information on the web to get work done efficiently. When people use SharePoint to store their business data, it is inevitable to have user errors and other reasons resulting in SharePoint data loss. Therefore, we are well aware that it is critical to SharePoint recover deleted files successfully for reducing team losses.
SharePoint
Although Microsoft itself does not provide any functionality for the backup and recovery of SharePoint files. However, it is possible to restore SharePoint files by using some indirect methods. If you're desperately looking for ways to recover deleted file on SharePoint, you've come to the right place. Please keep reading on this page and choose the most suitable one.
How to recover SharePoint deleted files?
If you delete a file in SharePoint, don't panic. In this section, we will explore how to recover deleted SharePoint files using Microsoft 365 features and a third-party data recovery tool. Follow and try the steps below, at least, you can use one of these methods to recover deleted SharePoint files.
Method 1. Restore deleted SharePoint files from Recycle bin
Actually, the easiest way to recover deleted file in SharePoint is to get it back from the Recycle bin. Deleted files in SharePoint will remain in the Recycle bin for 93 days from the date of deletion, after which the files will be permanently deleted. That's why SharePoint recovers deleted file not in Recycle bin.
Note: You won't be able to restore permanently deleted files from the Recycle bin.
Case 1: Recover deleted files from SharePoint Recycle bin
When you accidentally delete a SharePoint file, the first thing you should do is check the Recycle Bin. Because all deleted files will be stored directly in the recycle bin. Now let's take a look at the specific instructions on how to SharePoint restore deleted files from Recycle bin.
Step 1. Go to the SharePoint site the files are deleted from.
Step 2. Click Recycle bin in the top right portion of the Site Contents page.
SharePoint Recycle Bin
Step 3. Then you can browse a list of deleted files, and tick the files you want to recover.
Choose Files
Step 4. Click Restore to recover the target files.
Restore Files
Case 2: Recover deleted files from the site collection Recycle bin
If you're still unable to find deleted files from the Recycle bin, then maybe you need to try locating the Site Collection Recycle bin. Because all files deleted or automatically wiped in the first-stage Recycle bin will be sent to the second-stage Recycle bin. If the site collection Recycle bin option wasn't enabled, your files can't be restored from it. Please refer to the following steps:
Note: You must have site collection administrator or owner access rights to get the site collection Recycle bin.
Step 1. On Site settings, click the Recycle bin option under Site Collection Administration.
Site Collection
Step 2. At the bottom of the Recycle bin page, click the Second-stage recycle bin.
Second Stage Recycle Bin
Step 3. Locate the files you want to restore, and then click Restore.
Restore Files
Note: If you have enabled SharePoint file synchronization, when you use the above method to restore deleted SharePoint files, some operations may overwrite the original data resulting in data loss. So stop syncing your SharePoint files to your local computer as soon as you notice files being deleted.
Method 2. Recover deleted SharePoint files via data recovery tool
If you've unfortunately permanently deleted files from the SharePoint Recycle Bin, Method 1 doesn't work at all. But if you have synced your SharePoint files to your computer, then you can use a professional Windows data recovery tool to recover deleted file from SharePoint.
MyRecover supports NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, and ReFS in Windows 11/10/8/7 and Windows Server. It has professional scanning technology to help find all deleted and lost data and has a very high success recovery rate. Meanwhile, it can recover permanently deleted files from your computer, which has the main benefits listed below:
Efficient. With an advanced scanning algorithm, it will scan the deleted files quickly and recover your important data successfully.

The most enduring legacy from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair can be found at the Seattle Center, with its Space Needle dominating the city's skyline and defining its worldwide image.
But 60 miles south, Tumwater Falls Park, with its picturesque waterfall, historic roots and half-mile trail along the Deschutes River, also claims its place among the many lasting monuments to that six-month gathering 55 years ago.
Just as Seattle and surrounding areas use Seattle Center as a place to play, Tumwater Falls Park has become a place for the local community and visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
"It's the heart and soul of Tumwater, like an oasis in the middle of the city – a sanctuary" says Don Trosper, public history manager for the Olympia Tumwater Foundation, which built and maintains the park.
Even with Interstate-5 bordering the park on one side and busy Capitol Boulevard on the other, the sound of flowing water draws people to the natural serenity of the park, muffling the din of modern life, says John Freedman, executive director of the park. "We want to preserve the natural beauty."
The roots of this modern incarnation of "Deschutes canyon" began at a board meeting of the Foundation in December 1961, four months before the fair opened.
The foundation was established in 1950 to enable the Olympia Brewing Company and the Schmidt family who owned and ran it to channel money for projects and philanthropic activities. Its first project was the Tivoli Fountain on the Capitol Campus.
In 1961, the foundation's board saw opportunity in the traffic flowing to the fair on the newly finished freeway. Brewery tours were hugely popular, but once complete, tour guides could not point to an easily accessible park area where families could relax.
"They saw it (the park) as a great marketing idea," says Karen Johnson, curator for the foundation, which also oversees operations of the nearby Schmidt House. She says "a lot of people had their hands in the pie" to get it built, including prominent local grocer Carl Reder, whose son Joe ran the park for many years.
The park proved a big hit. In its early years, about 400,000 people visited annually; it has since stabilized at about 250,000, Freedman said. It's one of the top five tourist attractions in the county, Trosper adds.
The park, owned by the Foundation, was built exclusively with private money at a cost of $430,000. It still operates with no public money.
The park of that era looks much as it does now – paths meander down either side of the river, connected by two scenic bridges. Under nearby shade trees are picnic tables and a small playground. A state-run fish hatchery is located near the Upper Falls. But Trosper said the park area's bucolic present belies its bustling past.
"This is not how it started," Trosper says during a fascinating River Talk he leads on Thursday nights during the summer.
Michael T. Simmons, leader of the first band of white settlers, was immediately attracted by the river's potential: "This is going to be the place where we settle," he said.
The name "Tumwater" is a derivation of the Indian world "tum chuck" – meaning "noisy water." "Deschutes" is a derivation of a name given to the river by French trappers and traders, Trosper said.
Since 1845, the site has been home to a grist mill, sawmill, power plant, tannery, ice company, railroad line, flour mill and a park.
Hazard Stevens, son of the first territorial governor, opened an animal park nearby, below what is now the Falls Terrace Restaurant. Elk, swans and even a bear were among the attractions in what Freedman and Trosper describe as "an early version of Northwest Trek." Stevens wanted an attraction for the new street trolley system he helped finance to shuttle people from Olympia to "the wilds" of Tumwater.
A natural amphitheater on the brewery side of the park, with bleacher-type seats and a footbridge across the river, was developed. Concerts, conventions and other social occasions were held there. Among the social events noted by an Olympian article in 1892:
"The grove along the right side of the Deschutes River …is being cleared and winding walks and trails installed there. It is expected that a vast amount of Olympia love-making will be done in this delightful little park, made accessible by the electric car."
Until I-5 was built, Deschutes Parkway, parallel to the river park, was the main street of Tumwater, where businesses flourished and residents lived.
Surprisingly, what was not there when white settlers arrived were salmon. The river was not a natural salmon run. Salmon were introduced by the newcomers, who built fish ladders, some of which date to the 1890s. Watching the salmon fight their way upstream is a highlight for park visitors each fall.
Some change may be in the offing. The Falls Park and Historical Park may be connected and the salmon hatchery by the Upper Falls is scheduled to be moved. But mostly, Freedman says, the park will remain as people know and love it
"It's not broke, so why fix it?" he said.

Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical GardenArticle Free Pass
Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, zoological park owned by the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., and administered in conjunction with the Zoological Society of Cincinnati. It maintains one of the largest animal collections in the United States, with more than 17,000 specimens representing in excess of 500 species. The zoo grounds also serve as a botanical garden containing more than 3,000 varieties of plants from around the world, which are showcased in garden displays and added to the naturalistic settings of the animal exhibits. The zoo once held the record for the most births of lowland gorillas in captivity; other species, including Komodo dragons, Asian elephants, and black rhinoceroses, have also been bred successfully at the zoo. Other outstanding exhibits include those featuring the white Bengal tiger and many species of insects. The zoo's Center for Research of Endangered Wildlife conducts research on a variety of reproductive technologies and in 1995 was responsible for the first successful in vitro fertilization (resulting in a subsequent birth) of a gorilla. Founded in 1875, the Cincinnati Zoo is the second oldest zoo in the United States; it occupies a 75-acre (30-hectare) site within the city and also operates the Mast Farm, a 107-acre (43-hectare) breeding facility in Clermont county.

Writers, thinkers and artists created the sprit of the modern world by the power of the pen.
The French Revolution owned inspiration to the writings of Rousseau and Voltaire. Karl
Marx's Das Capital inspired Lenin, the leader of the Russian Revolution. The Communist

international communism.
Charles Dickens exposed the evils of capitalism in his works like David Copperfield and
Oliver Twist. Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of life was based on the teachings of the Gita.
David Thoreau's The Civil Disobedience inspired Gandhiji for Satyagraha during the freedom
struggle in India. In the Vietnam war, journalists and photographers played a key role in
bringing about an end to the conflict.
India's freedom struggle was based on the supremacy of the pen over the sword. The major
national newspapers, The Hindu, The Tribune, Bengalee, Kesari and the Amrita Bazar Patrika
waged a campaign against the British rule. The leaders were able to communicate their ideas
to the people through the press. They were able to promote among them a feeling of
nationalism and unity. Gandhiji himself edited two newspapers, Navyug and Harihan to
mobilize the masses. The victory of our freedom movement over the British to some extent was
the victory of the pen over the sword.
The victories of the sword are short lived. Alexander's desire to conquer the world remained

[FFmpeg-devel] Definition of audio and video frames according to av_read_frame()
Unga unga888 at yahoo.com
Sun Aug 26 08:52:22 CEST 2012
Dear all
FFmpeg documentation says "For video, the packet contains exactly one frame. For audio, it contains an integer number of frames if each frame has a known fixed size (e.g. PCM or ADPCM data). If the audio frames have a variable size (e.g. MPEG audio), then it contains one frame."
1. Regarding video, does av_read_frame() return anything other than I-frame,
P-frame or B-frame?
2. Regarding audio, what is the definition of audio frame? If I say, an audio frame contain one audio sample, is it correct?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards

Associate Professor . Department of Soil Science and Engineering. University of Tehran
In this paper, more than one hundred studies on soil salinity which conducted by researchers in the Department of Soil Science and Engineering, University of Tehran in the last fifty years, are reviewed and then classified as; measuring and estimating the properties of saline and sodic soils, the effect of salinity and sodicity on soil characteristics, the relationship between plant and soil salinity, the effect of vegetation and biological crusts on soil salinity, leaching and modeling of solute movement, genesis and development of saline soils and salinity warnings and finally, biological relationships in saline soils. Summarizing these results reveals that the methods of soil analysis, crop management as well as sustainable soil management, the relationship between soil and micro and macroorganisms and plant nutrition and soil fertility are considerably different from non saline conditions. In addition, the salinity is developing and the need to use the salt affected soils is inevitable. Some findings would be worthwhile in the use and management of these soils. Subsequently it is necessary to define a comprehensive research program for saline sodic soils in Iran.

How to build a SPA using Hotwire
In the past few years, there has been a consistent rise in Single Page Applications (SPA). A lot of today's web application tech stacks rely on JSON APIs in the backend, with a frontend app modifying the DOM in the web browser, to help create a fast and seamless experience for users.
When Ruby on Rails was created, it was developed to render pages on the server. So, to build a SPA with Ruby on Rails running on the backend, you have to render JSON payloads as a response, and let the frontend take care of the rest.
But, what if the frontend could update the DOM, sending HTML from the backend instead of JSON?
This is where Hotwire comes into the picture.
Hotwire is self-described as:
an alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire. This makes for fast first-load pages, keeps template rendering on the server, and allows for a simpler, more productive development experience in any programming language, without sacrificing any of the speed or responsiveness associated with a traditional single-page application.
Hotwire was created to replace heavy load JS SPAs with good old HTML, to encourage developers to view the application as a set of frames that can be replaced or augmented by the HTML, sent from the server.
Taking that into consideration, using Hotwire means maintaining the Ruby on Rails way of programming, as it mostly uses the Ruby on Rails views and partials that you will need to write.
Hotwire Components
Hotwire consists of the following three components:
 - Turbo: this is the heart of Hotwire. It consists of a set of techniques for speeding up page changes and form submissions, dividing complex pages into components, and streaming partial page updates over WebSocket, without writing any JS code.
 - Stimulus: some of the interactivity may need some JS code to work as required, so, for those cases where custom code is required, Stimulus makes this work.
 - Strada: this component is used to allow mobile hybrid applications to talk to each other via HTML bridge attributes. At the time of writing, Strada hasn't been released yet.
How can you get started?
First off, ask yourself, do you think this fits your product? If so, do you want to try it out on an MVP, or would you just like to see how it works?
At Rootstrap we make your life a lot easier by putting Hotwire together with Tailwind, Device, ActiveAdmin, and a few more useful custom options.
So, feel free to clone our Ruby on Rails Hotwire Base and start hacking!
Also, don't forget to give us a ⭐ if you found this useful.

Crafting messages with meaning for HIV testing and research
Indianapolis " The power of persuasion is studied by politicians, marketing professionals, speech writers and, with the aid of a National Institutes of Health grant, Indiana University researchers who want to positively influence the health of women.
Faculty from medicine, business, nursing and biostatistics will evaluate messages designed to increase HIV testing rates and the acceptability of participation in HIV vaccine clinical trials. The study is funded by a $2.25 million, five-year National Institute of Nursing Research grant.
The focus of the research will be to identify barriers, such as cultural language nuances, and develop messages that encourage Latina, African-American, and white women to be tested for HIV and to enroll in HIV research clinical studies.
Gregory D. Zimet, Ph.D., is the principal investigator for the research grant. Dr. Zimet, who is a professor of pediatrics and of clinical psychology, has extensive research expertise in determining how individuals respond to health-related messages, particularly those involving parents
The first phase of this behavioral study will use focus group and individual interviews to identify obstacles to HIV testing and attitudes about an HIV vaccine clinical trials. Interviews will be conducted in Spanish and in English. The information from this first phase will be used to develop persuasive messages to be used later in the research.
In the second phase of the study, the researchers will evaluate the effects of different types of messages on rates of acceptance of rapid HIV testing and on attitudes about participation in a clinical trial for a preventive HIV vaccine. All the messages will be delivered via a computer-based interview which will be available in both Spanish and English.
With the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation that HIV testing be routine, this research is important for learning how to reach out most effectively to women and minorities,¯ said Dr. Zimet. We also want to understand what issues may prevent women and minorities from taking advantage of HIV/AIDS research and potential new vaccines that could save lives.
Co-investigators are Anthony D. Cox, Ph.D., professor of marketing and Chancellor

This study revisits the increase in wage inequality in Germany. Accounting for changes in various sets of observables, composition changes explain a large part of the increase in wage inequality among full-time workers. The composition effects are larger for females than for males, and increasingly heterogenous labor market histories play an important role. Furthermore, we find strong effects of education for males and strong effects of age and experience for females. Changes in industry and occupation explain fairly little. Extending the analysis to total employment confirms the basic findings, while revealing substantial negative selection into part-time work.

his considerable talents behind the war effort. Building upon knowledge acquired over a decade of living in China, Alley helped organize the Chinese Industrial Cooperative Movement (CIC). The CIC coordinated the creation of industrial cooperatives throughout unoccupied China to keep industrial production flowing, and it sponsored a series of industrial schools named after Alley's friend Joseph Bailie to provide training and support.
The Indusco Bailie School Collection includes documents and photographs relating to the establishment and operation of the Bailie Schools in China during and immediately after the Second World War. Probably associated with the Indusco offices in New York City, these documents include a model constitution for industrial cooperatives, typewritten reports on Bailie Schools, and published articles describing the schools' efforts. The reports extend through 1949, and include three mimeographed newsletters from the Shantan Bailie School for the months immediately following the school's liberation by Communist forces. Also included are printed works by Alley and eighteen photographs taken between 1942 and 1944 of students and scenes at Bailie Schools.

Sidney Lipshires Papers, _PHONE_.
7 boxes (3.5 linear feet).
Call no.: MS 730
Born on April 15, 1919 in Baltimore, Maryland to David and Minnie Lipshires, Sidney was raised in Northampton, Massachusetts where his father owned two shoe stores, David Boot Shop and The Bootery. He attended the Massachusetts State College for one year before transferring to the University of Chicago and was awarded a BA in economics in 1940. His years at the University of Chicago were transformative, Lipshires became politically active there and joined the Communist Party in 1939. Following graduation in 1941, he married Shirley Dvorin, a student in early childhood education; together they had two sons, Ellis and Bernard. Lipshires returned to western Massachusetts with his young family in the early 1940s, working as a labor organizer. He served in the United States Army from 1943 to 1946 working as a clerk and interpreter with a medical battalion in France for over a year. Returning home, he ran for city alderman in Springfield on the Communist Party ticket in 1947. Lipshires married his second wife, Joann Breen Klein, in 1951 and on May 29, 1956, the same day his daughter Lisa was born, he was arrested under the Smith Act for his Communist Party activities. Before his case was brought to trial, the Smith Act was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Disillusioned with the Communist Party, he severed his ties with it in 1957, but continued to remain active in organized labor for the rest of his life. Earning his masters in 1965 and Ph.D. in 1971, Lipshires taught history at Manchester Community College in Connecticut for thirty years. During that time he worked with other campus leaders to establish a statewide union for teachers and other community college professionals, an experience he wrote about in his book, Giving Them Hell: How a College Professor Organized and Led a Successful Statewide Union. Sidney Lipshires died on January 6, 2011 at the age of 91.
Ranging from an autobiographical account that outlines his development as an activist (prepared in anticipation of a trial for conspiracy charges under the Smith Act) to drafts and notes relating to his book Giving Them Hell, the Sidney Lipshires Papers offers an overview of his role in the Communist Party and as a labor organizer. The collection also contains his testimony in a 1955 public hearing before the Special Commission to Study and Investigate Communism and Subversive Activities, photographs, and biographical materials.

Due to its location in the Central Asian highlands, Mongolia has a strongly continental climate. The winters are long and dry with arctic cold temperatures. Summers are warm to hot and humid. The transitional seasons spring and autumn are only a few weeks long. Temperatures can vary greatly between day and night. Differences of around or above 30 degrees are not uncommon. In summer, the average maximum temperatures are usually between 20 and 30 degrees. It is colder in the north than in the south. In winter, temperatures in the north can fall below minus 30 degrees. In the south, too, there is severe permafrost. The most extreme temperature fluctuations occur in the Gobi desert. In summer the temperatures can climb up to 45 degrees, in winter they sometimes drop below minus 40 degrees. The annual rainfall in Mongolia is quite low. In the north they are around 400 mm, in the south partly only around 100 mm. Most of them fall in July and August.
A trip to Mongolia is best done in June or September. Then you avoid heavy rains and muddy roads, and there are not quite as hot temperatures. From October to April snow storms and extreme cold can occur and many roads in the country are impassable.
