Date/Time functions
These functions allow to read/modify the date and time of a PLC.
Imagine a production line in which each PLC saves the data with date/time field inside,
it is very important that the date be up to date.
Both CP X43 and internal PN allow to synchronize date and time but you need an NTP
server, and in some cases (old hardware or CP343-1 Lean or old firmware release)
this doesn't work properly.
Snap7 Client, using the same method of S7 Manager, always works.

Cli_Compress Performs the Compress action.
Cli_GetPlcStatus Returns the CPU status (running/stopped).
Security functions
With these functions is possible to know the current protection level, and to set/clear
the current session password.
The correct name of the below functions Cli_SetSessionPassword and
Cli_ClearSessionPassword, would have to be Cli_Login and Cli_Logout to avoid
misunderstandings about their scope.
Especially because, if you look at the source code, there is an encoding function that
translates the plain password before send it to the PLC.
PASSWORD HACKING IS VERY FAR FROM THE AIM OF THIS PROJECT, MOREOVER
YOU NEED TO KNOW THE CORRECT PASSWORD TO MEET THE CPU SECURITY
LEVEL.
Detailed information about the protection level can be found in §33.19 of "System
Software for S7-300/400 System and Standard Functions".
Function Purpose
Cli_SetSessionPassword Send the password to the PLC to meet its security level.
Cli_ClearSessionPassword Clears the password set for the current session (logout).
Cli_GetProtection Gets the CPU protection level info.

Linux/CDorked FAQs
Last Friday (April 26), ESET and Sucuri simultaneously blogged about the discovery of Linux/CDorked, a backdoor impacting Apache servers running cPanel. Since that announcement, there has been some confusion surrounding the exact nature of these attacks. Rather than reinvent the analysis that has already been done, this blog post is intended to clear up some of the confusion.
When did Linux/CDorked first appear?
According to Cisco TRAC analysis, the first encounter was on March 4, 2013.
How is Linux/CDorked related to DarkLeech?
The appearance of Linux/CDorked coincided with a drop in the number of DarkLeech infections, an indication the attacker(s) may be one and the same.
Unlike DarkLeech, the Linux/CDorked infections appear to be only targeting Apache servers with cPanel installed. Conversely, DarkLeech was found on servers running a variety of control panels (or not).
Why are cPanel installs being targeted?
That cPanel installs are targeted does not imply attackers are exploiting a vulnerability in cPanel to gain access. Rather, Linux/CDorked exploits the fact that cPanel doesn't use a packaging system to install Apache. This, along with some logging differences, makes it much more difficult to detect the backdoor on Apache servers running cPanel, which is key to its success.
How are attackers gaining access to the host servers?
How the attackers are gaining root access to begin with is a separate matter, still unresolved. Attackers may have stolen login credentials via phishing, or via a localized infection on a management system, or simply by brute-force guessing the login.
Who are the compromised hosts?
The compromised host servers observed thus far have all been smaller, less mainstream providers. This is also in contrast to DarkLeech, which netted some significantly sized host providers in those attacks.
How many websites have been affected?
While there have been thousands of encounters with Linux/CDorked injected sites, decoding the URLs reveals only a few hundred compromised sites, unlike DarkLeech, which affected thousands of innocent websites.
The size (number of impacted websites) isn't the whole story, however. The Linux/CDorked attacks appear to be in concert with local trojan Medfos infections. The Medfos family of trojans installs browser extensions which automatically redirect search results when clicked. As a result, 37% of the encounters with the Linux/CDorked injected sites have been via searches performed on Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
What exploits are involved?
The Linux/CDorked attackers are using Blackhole exploit kit v4. Hence, when a Web surfer clicks through a link to one of the sites hosted on the compromised server, the visited URL is base64 encoded before the request is handed off to the malware domain. The exploits we've observed have been a mix of known PDF and Java exploits, no zero days. Thus far, all observed malware domains (the actual redirect destination) track back to 7 unique IP addresses:

Tags:,,,,,,
 1. Most of these guys change one or two lines of code to suit their needs. So even if this was a direct ripoff of DarkLeech it wouldn't mean anything. Infact, the term "Leeching" comes to mind when describing these scripts. Its hardly an indication that the attackers "may be one and the same."
 2. Its all very confusing...seems that there is something wrong that can really harm our websites.I don't know why these attacks are affecting Linux.
 3. I don't know why this is being called a backdoor, it's not. The fact that they're replacing the web server binary may be of consequence, but it's only one of many possible things the hackers could have done once root was compromised. The MOST important thing here is HOW root was compromised. Everything beyond that point is not really worth discussing. And any admin worth their salt and that cares about their servers is monitoring the checksums on their server binaries and would have picked up this binary change in a flash.
 4. Part of what my most recent copy of Medfos trojan attempted was looking up FTP passwords that might be on the system (tested the executable that had a PDF icon via malwr DOT com) My guess is that the trojans are stealing the passwords and then the blackhats merely logon and substitute the binaries. Good reason to use two-factor authentication *AND* never store passwords for websites, ftp sites, etc...

Care Tips for Cordyline Chocolate Queen
Toxic if consumed. Keep out of reach of pets and small children.
Light: Bright, indirect or direct light. Cordyline plants can handle a small bit of shade, but they prefer to live in a space with lots of light. However, too much direct light can cause leaves to fade.
Water: The soil should be allowed to dry slightly between watering. On a scale of 1-5 moisture levels should remain as close to a 3 as possible.
Humidity: Cordyline plants do well in standard home humidity levels (about 30% or higher).
Temperature: Plants grow best in temperatures from 70°- 85° Fahrenheit range. During the cooler months when the temperatures fall below 65°F the plants will grow more slowly, and fertilization rates should be reduced.
Fertilizer: These plants can be fed in the spring with slow-release pellets. You can feed the plant weekly during the growing season with a liquid 20-20-20 fertilizer at half-strength. Do not fertilize during the winter.

Levelling Up Plans to Provide Financial Boost for UK Space Industry16th Feb 2022
The UK Government has announced plans to provide £600,000 worth of funding to the UK space industry. The investment will be provided as part of the UK's Levelling Up scheme, which plans to help redistribute wealth to underfunded parts of the country. The investment in the UK space industry will focus on bolstering existent "space clusters" and supporting industry growth and job opportunities. "Space clusters" refer to areas in the UK where there are high levels of interest in the space sector and groups of industry leaders. By propping up these areas, the UK government hopes this will increase industry development on a national level.
New Government Investment in UK Space Sector Supports Climate Targets
Space cluster investments in the UK space industry will be part of the government's recently announced New Space Strategy. The New Space Strategy aims to expand the UK space sector across industries and utilise existing expertise in UK space hubs. The UK already has a promising sector in terms of building satellites and developing technology for in-space craft repairs. Development in the UK space industry also supports the UK's net-zero climate goals, as satellites are used to monitor environmental changes and develop energy solutions.
Space Sector Funding Spread Across Key UK Sites
Funding for the UK space industry is to be shared among key sites across the British Isles. These sites include Cornwall (which is home to Spaceport Cornwall), the Northern Ireland Space Office, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and Aerospace Wales. This funding boost highlights the existence of a nationwide UK space industry that will benefit from this financial support.

A lasher is an ambulatory plant and often hostile. They can be found in the Wailing Caverns, Maraudon, Un'Goro Crater, and Dire Maul. Lashers are elementals in-game, but in lore they are just "plants".
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade introduced new lashers in Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, and the Botanica.
The lashers in Un'Goro Crater are known as bloodpetals and grow in several different varieties. They are all neutral except the Bloodpetal Pest which is friendly to Alliance players and hostile to Horde players.
Note that there are a number of mobs with lasher in their name, but are not the plant lashers. Some examples are Scorpid Tail Lashers and the hydras named Vorsha the Lasher and Trigore the Lasher.
"Orchid"-type lashers Edit
Mutated Root Lasher
An orchid lasher.
Another type of lasher (called "orchid lasher" in the files) is similar to other lashers, but with a particularly large flower. They are prevalent in the Botanica, Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, Sholazar Basin, Wintergrasp, and Emerald Dragonshrine.

text: © 2020 Elsevier LtdIn this study, novel silicon phthalocyanines complexes have been synthesized, characterized and compared their antitumor efficiency of photodynamic, sonodynamic, sonophotodynamic on prostate cancer cells. Sonophotodynamic therapy (SPDT), a combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT), is a new and promising method for the treatment of cancer cells. Although it is known that SPDT therapy has improved potential therapeutic result, the development of this method by working with different sensitizers has been lacking in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first study in the literature to calculate the photochemical properties of synthesized molecules and compare the results of photodynamic, sonodynamic and sonophotodynamic therapies on prostate cancer cells. In this study, new water soluble sensitizers with the different properties of linker heteroatom (O or S) were synthesized, characterized and analyzed their photophysicochemical properties. Then, the effects of sonodynamic, photodynamic and sonophotodynamic on these sensitizers were examined in vitro on prostate cancer using PC3 cells. For this purpose, the cells were incubated with various concentrations of chemicals and subjected to ultrasound and/or light irradiation. According to MTT results, the sensitizers were showed quite efficiency for sonodynamic, photodynamic and sonophotodynamic therapies and decreased cell viability when compared with control group. Also apoptosis measurement data shows that the sensitizers (1a, 1b) would produce much better effects by combination sonodynamic and photodynamic therapies, especially the measurement of apoptotic cells in complex 2a reached 95% after SPDT therapy. As a result, it is seen that SPDT is a combination which has enhanced the therapeutic outcome.

She followed my great grandfather Henry Casper Truelsen in September 1866
to Eagle River, Michigan where they married .
I have taken the following information about Casper Henry Truelsen from
His father Johann Friedrich born March 13 1816 was a blacksmith by
trade, and died at the age thirty-seven from the results of a fall into
a vat of boiling water. His mother was Magdalena Dienhoff, and for some
years previous to her marriage was cook for the household of the Duke of
Schleswig-Holstein. After the death of her husband she supported the
family, consisting of four children and her father and mother-in-law, by
cooking at large gatherings, weddings, balls and similar occasions. In
this capacity she was famous all over the dukedom. As a boy Mr.
Truelsen went to the public schools of his native city, and was
confirmed in the Lutheran church when fifteen years of age. He made his
first money as waiter and shoe boy in a hotel at Schleswig when fourteen
years of age. That year he worked mornings and evenings and went to
school during the day, receiving twelve dollars a year and board for his
services. The next year he was bound as an apprentice to a grocer to
serve five years without any compensation except hi board. This was a
hard experience. He worked from six in the morning till ten at night, on
his feet all the time, and with no fire in the store in winter. Little
time was given for rest and recreation. After his hard term of
apprenticeship was over he obtained a better situation, but in1866
decided to emigrate.(The rest of the story refers to his life in the
I have learned that Henry's grandparents were Casper Fink Trulesen and
Ida Margaretha Kalsen. Their names do not appear in the 1803 Schleswig
Census indicating they were not residance of Schleswig at that time.
This is the message I posted a couple of years ago about the Hansen's
Hansens from Schleswig.
My great grandmother followed her future husband to Eagle River,
Michigan from Schleswig months in the fall of 1866. She and my great
grandfather Henry Casper Truelsen married upon her arrival.
Henry Truelsen worked for the John H. Hansen General Store in Eagle
River from his arrival from Schleswig the spring of 1866 to the spring
of 1869 when the family moved to Duluth, MN. My grandmother was born in
Henrietta bore eight children, five of which survived past babyhood. She
died suddenly of heart failure in 1895 at age 50. Her death certificate
indicates that her parents were unknown but from Germany.
Julius H. Hansen also died in Duluth in 1895. He was only 57 years old
and is buried in the Truelsen cemetery plot. His death certificate
indicates that his parents were Johan and Mary with no surname. Julius
was married to Ingeborg Lorenson who was from Germany. Her father was J.
Lorenson and mother unknown.
Henrietta had a nephew named Erick Hansen who died in 1891 at age 38.
Ericks death certificate list his father as Erick Hansen and mother as
Christina Susunrup. Erick jr. had a sister in Duluth named Christina
Amelia Anne Hansen.
Erick Hansen Sr. is an implied brother of Henriette.
Henry Casper Truelsen appointed his nephew Ivan Hansen as Chief of
Police in Duluth when he was mayor (_PHONE_). The newspapers covered
this nepotism story when he tried for reelection in 1900.
Henry Casper Truelsen was born in Schleswig Oct. 20, 1844. He was
confirmed at the Dom Church in Schleswig April 1, 1860. His parents
were Johan Friedrich Truelsen, (born March 13, 1816) and Magdalena
Christina Friederika Dienhoff. They were married February 02, 1840, (I
assume in the same church).

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The 9th annual Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill on October 20 will involve more than 10.5 million Californians practicing "Drop, Cover and Hold On," the earthquake safety protocol recommended by experts as essential for avoiding injury and even death during earthquakes (see _URL_ In addition, more than 50 million people across the United States and in more than 60 other countries are participating in their own earthquake drills.
California participants include people in schools, colleges, businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations, community groups, and many others. See lists of participants along with extensive information on how to participate at _URL_
"ShakeOut encourages cross-sector, whole community conversation and action about earthquake preparedness, inspiring people to make better decisions for how they can prepare to survive and recover," said Mark Benthien, Global ShakeOut Coordinator and Outreach Director at the Southern California Earthquake Center.
"The CEA is proud to support the preparedness goals of the Great California ShakeOut," said Glenn Pomeroy, chief executive officer of the California Earthquake Authority, the state's largest earthquake insurance provider. "The drill is a great reminder of how important it is to know how to protect yourself when the ground shakes. But that's only half the battle. Insuring your home and belongings from earthquake damage is also critical to survive the financial fallout after the next big one strikes."
Media events for the Great California ShakeOut in Southern California on 10/20 include a major exercise at Dearborn Elementary in Northridge; an all-hazards "Safety Day" at Kinecta Federal Credit Union in El Segundo; and a City of Los Angeles exercise at Councilmember Blumenfield's District Office in Reseda.

However, if that decoration involves the presence of thousands of tiny, curly, fluffy hairs, you're going to need to wash them regularly. Like, really regularly. Like, whenever you're washing the hair on your head because that shit is getting just as much exposure to dirt, germs, and nastiness and it needs to be cleaned. Because bearded men officially carry more germs than dogs - and yet the dog is the one that you won't let sleep beside you on the cold, lonely, winter nights. The Mail on Sunday reports that researchers from Hirslanden Clinic in Switzerland took swabs from the beards of 18 men and found that all of them contained bacteria. Similarly, they then tested the necks of 30 dogs. Just 23 of them returned results in line with that of the bearded men. Conclusion? Pets are better than men. You heard it here first. What's more, is that seven of beards tested were so dirty that they actually could have caused harm to a human being's health.Nasty."Our study shows that bearded men harbour a significantly higher burden of microbes and more human-pathogenic strains than dogs," Andreas Gutzeit told the publication."On the basis of these findings, dogs can be considered as clean compared with bearded men."There a couple of reasons for this. The first is that beards are generally curly as opposed to dogs that have a variation of coats, meaning that the hair of the beard is far more likely to trap dirt. The second is that dogs get a good, deep wash regularly because they are always assumed to be filthy. Beards, on the other hand, not so much.

A living museum is a type of museum which recreates historical settings to simulate past time periods, providing visitors with an experiential interpretation of history. It is a type of museum that recreates to the fullest extent conditions of a culture, natural environment or historical period. Sometimes, a drama performing group of historical reenactment of historical scenes in historical buildings is considered as a living museum.
Comparison with open-air museum
An open-air museum is a special kind of a living museum. In a living museum, a visitor is using their senses. The objective is total immersion, designing exhibits so that visitors can experience the specific culture, environment or historical period using all the physical senses: sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. In an open-air museum, the exhibits are shown outside buildings, especially collections of houses, buildings, machines, rails etc. An open-air museum can be also a living museum, but this is not necessarily the case.
Authenticity and living history museums
A major concern at living history museums is the idea of authenticity. Living historians define authenticity as perfect simulation between a living history activity and the piece of the past it is meant to re-create. A major difference between living history museums and other historical interpretation is that at living history sites, the interpretation is usually given in the first-person present, versus the third-person past narratives given at other sites. Living history museums seek to convey to visitors the experience of what it felt like to live in the past. Critics of living history museums argue that replication of past states of mind is impossible, and therefore living history is inherently inaccurate.

Early Grain Sorghum
- 50# bag
- Grain sorghum is also called "milo". We sell a "dwarf" or short variety.
- For food plots, early grain sorghum is a favorite of pheasant farms because it provides a good winter food source and cover for the birds, making it a great challenge for the hunter and dog.
- Early grain sorghum is a summer annual with very good seedling vigor and high stalk sugars. However, should not be planted until ground temperatures reach 55-60 degrees.
- For beef and dairy cattle, milo and soybeans are often mixed together (10/90 mix) and sown at 150 lbs per acre to produce silage. This combination can be harvested within 60-110 days of planting.
- Seeding rate: 25-30 lbs per acre. In mixtures with soybeans: 15-20 lbs per acre.
- Seeding Depth: 1" to 1.5" in a well prepared, firm seedbed.

Gotcha!
If you get errors when running your AppleScript, here are some of the possible causes and thing to look out for:
 1. Did you remember to provide terminology (such as "goes up" for Line's startsAtLowerLeft attribute)?
 2. Did you correctly spell the Apple Script term?
 3. Is there a name space collision between classes, commands or attributes? Apple Script can get confused if commands and classes have the same name!
 4. Are your Apple Event Codes unique? Use uppercase to disambiguate from Apple's.
 5. Are you using a synonym in an attribute? That won't work!
 6. While writing your suite definition or terminology, you might make a syntax error and the list becomes "unparseable". I recommend that you download and install Mike Ferris's excellent "TextExtras" framework from _URL_ which installs many useful text processing functions into every Cocoa app using the input manager architecture. One feature that you'll find extremely useful for Apple Script design is the "Parse as Property List" menu item: select your definition and choose this item to see if there are any typos or missing semi-colons.
 7. Quit Early, Quit Often: If you change your suite or terminology, be sure to quit ScriptEditor and relaunch it, since it might cache the old dictionary.
 8. You must quote strings and paths.
 9. Remember, in OneToManyRelationships, use the Apple Event Code of the class of object stored in the array or dictionary. In attributes, do not use the attributes class code, but create a unique one.
Known Bugs
Developer Preview 3
BUG: NSUnknownKeyScriptError when executing statement:
"make new document at before front document"
*** -[NSDocumentController _addDocument:]: selector not recognized
WORKAROUND: none - make a new document manually and compile compile with -DDP3 for commented out code.
BUG: Where is application "Sketch"? And it brings up an OpenPanel...
WORKAROUND: compile with -DDP3 which will use "Sketch.app" which does work.
Conclusion
It's easy and rewarding to add AppleScript to your application, and it's a lot of fun to watch a script execute and makes a fearsome demo. But more importantly, it adds great value to your application because regular users can automate work flow and "program" your application to do various tasks.

With the help of energy analysis suggested by McLaughlin and Scott for the sine-Gordon equation, evolution of kink velocity modeling the propagation of a local conformational perturbation along the DNA molecule under the simultaneous action of dissipation effects and special nonstationary external fields is investigated. For a harmonically time-dependent external force, the kink velocity is characterized by oscillations about a rather monotonically decreasing trend expressed by an explicit analytical formula. The trend velocity coincides with the results of calculations of the kink velocity averaged over the period on different time intervals. Similar results are obtained for a nonstationary force in the form of a step function. A numerical analysis, in particular, demonstrates that the trend velocity changes its behavior for certain values of rectangular pulse duration.

The complexity science research is the research of the ontological structures and the taxonomies of adaptive systems.
The Unicist Standard for complexity research was developed based on the characteristics of adaptive systems considered in their complexity, some of their characteristics are:
1) Open boundaries
2) Biunivocity of its components
3) The existence of conjunctions without disjunctions
4) The inexistence of observers
It differs from systemic research because it needs to be part of a real, non-simulated, functioning adaptive system. It does not allow making artificial experimentation.
Applicative research ends with the definition of the Unicist Standard.

Expert System Manager
NOTE: The Unicist Research Institute is the major research organization in the world in its specialty based on more than 3,000 researches in complexity science applied to individual, institutional and social evolution. The applicative researches are based on the discovery of the Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature and the consequent Unicist Theory of Evolution.

In the linguistically diverse landscapes that today's European societies are becoming, grasping the linguistic repertoires of pupils can be quite a challenge. In light of this, a language passport is a useful tool to increase language awareness and to support the development of linguistically sensitive teaching (LST). The MARS language passport is an example made in Flanders.
Unravelling the language repertoires of the pupils in classroom is important, not only to enhance pupils' and their teachers' consciousness of the complexities of language use but also for schools to work on their multilingual policies. Dr Fauve De Backer, a member of our research centre in Flanders (Belgium), has developed – together with colleagues – a language passport within a larger study called Multilingualism As Reality at School (MARS).
Construction of language passports can be an exciting classroom activity. This is like language portraits, where pupils paint their languages in different colours on a body silhouette. The MARS language passport is a written report structured as a mind map. This allows persons to present a clear overview of the languages in their repertoire: what languages they know, when and how they use them, how they feel about them, what the classroom community as a whole looks like. The MARS team collected data in 12 schools from 100 pupils in primary and secondary education who participated in focus groups. The aim of the focus groups was to gain insight into the linguistic repertoires and the dynamic and multileveled behaviours regarding pupils' language use.
A first result of the study was that language passports showed the unconscious processes and practices underlying the use of linguistic repertoires. They demonstrated the individual variability and complexity of pupils' linguistic repertoires. The passports captured multiple 'types' of languages used by pupils, including home languages, foreign languages learned in school and dialects, but also practices such as translanguaging. Multilingual pupils did not only use Dutch, the language of schooling, with people from school. Nor did they use only their home languages with people outside school (friends, parents, sisters/brothers). Dutch was used most often for calculating and thinking. This is not surprising, since it is the language of schooling. Home languages were more often used for "emotional" functions such as dreaming or telling secrets.
Pupils switched automatically and mostly unconsciously between languages. Not only when moving between different persons but also when communicating with one person. Despite such switching being a normal thing among multilingual speakers, the fear that this would be an impediment of their learning of the language of schooling was very apparent within the group discussions. Another interesting finding was that native Flemish pupils were multilingual as well, despite them often being regarded as "monolingual".
All in all, language passports are an interesting activity for the entire class. They can be used for multiple purposes.
First, they can be helpful as a didactic tool, which includes the development of additional classroom activities. The passports depict the diversity and complexity in pupils' language repertoires, they are one means by which pupils can be made aware of the unconscious processes underlying their choice of languages, they provide both teachers and pupils with new insights into their (own) language use, they are an accessible and easily adaptable way to discuss linguistic/cultural diversities in classroom, and they are a way to invite/accept home languages at school. Second, the passports can also be used to inform a whole-school multilingual policy. They give schools a greater understanding of their population while enabling them to adjust their policy and support for multilingual students. Third, the language passports can be used as a research tool as in school-based action research.
The MARS language passport was originally developed in Dutch. An English translation is in the making so not yet available online.

Roommate Conflicts: Approach, Communication, Mediation
Living with roommates isn't always easy. Sharing a living space may be stressful at times and conflicts may arise. Sometimes situations that work at the beginning of the year become more difficult as the year goes on; remember that you and your roommate will be constantly growing and changing
in your time at NAU. It is perfectly normal to have roommate conflicts. In fact, there is a great deal to be learned from handling a difficult situation maturely, respectfully, and creatively.
Housing and Residence Life offers a variety of resources to students facing roommate conflicts. Review the information below and follow up with your RA if you feel you need further advice on how to proceed with the situation.
Approaching your roommate
Communication sometimes breaks down and you may have to approach your roommate with an issue that one of you has with the other. If this happens then it is helpful to have some ideas about how to approach the situation.
How to tell there is an issue:
- Your roommate may not want to talk to you, may leave the room when you enter, or may be complaining to friends about you.
- Your roommate may become annoyed with you over little things. If you start to notice these things you should not ignore them. If a problem is addressed early, there is a better chance of it being worked out amicably.
How to address the issue:
- Approach your roommate in private.
- Confirm that this is a good time for both of you to talk. If one of you feels rushed or blindsided they will be less able to communicate effectively.
- Be direct. Discuss the issue with regard to behaviors rather than personality traits. This tactic is less likely to put your roommate on the defensive.
- Be patient. Listen to your roommate and remember that there are two sides to every story.
- Each person should be given a chance to present what they feel the problem really is.
- Revisit to your roommate agreement. Which of your guidelines are working and which of them need to be reconsidered?
- Remember that a solution will probably involve each person giving something and getting something. The solution may not be your ideal scenario,
but it should be an improvement on the current state of things.
Communicating with your roommate
Most roommate conflicts are the result of miscommunication or in some cases, a total lack of communication. If you can communicate effectively, it will be much easier to develop a comfortable living environment for yourself and your roommates.
These tips should help you communicate in a healthy way with your roommate:
- Talk to your roommate directly when something is bothering you. Don't discuss it behind their back because this can cause a breakdown in trust between you.
- Be direct. Be clear about what is bothering you. If you don't tell your roommate that there is a problem they won't be able to do anything about it.
- Remember that communication works two ways: talking and listening. Neither one is effective without the other.
- If you create a win-win situation, then the conflict is more likely to be resolved. Evaluate the needs of both sides before a solution is proposed, and make sure the solution is acceptable to both parties.
- Respect each other's differences. Everyone has different values, lifestyles, expectations, and communication styles. Get to know each other and establish common ground. It is easier to solve a problem with a friend than a
- If you are upset with your roommate, chances are that s/he is upset with you as well. Being involved in a dialogue means that you need to be able to listen and give everyone a chance to speak. Criticism is bound to happen and your natural reaction is going to be to criticize back, but that is only going to compound the problem. Learning to accept criticism is going to help you communicate and live with your roommate. If you both find that you are approaching the limit and things are not being resolved, agree to take some time away from the discussion to give you each time to process what is going
on. This will also give you each time to develop feedback that is not going to be hurtful and won't be fueled by anger.
In difficult discussions such as roommate conflicts, it is very helpful to have an unbiased third party to help mediate the discussion. Our Resident Assistants (RAs) are trained to assist with mediation and helping roommates come up with solutions to their conflicts. If you find that you and
your roommate are having difficulty resolving your conflict, you should discuss this option with your RA.
How Mediation Works:
- Contact your RA to discuss the situation and the mediation process.
- Your RA will contact all roommates to find a time that works best for everyone. It is very important that you allow enough time for each person to express themselves and to come up with a solution.
- Even if you are the person who contacts the RA, remember that they have a responsibility to the well-being of all floor residents. Your RA will give each person a chance to be heard, and will encourage a solution that is
beneficial to all parties.
- Your RA will refer to your roommate agreement as a reference. If you have updated your roommate agreement since initially completing it, it will be helpful to provide your RA with an updated copy before the mediation.
- Some roommate conflicts require more than one intervention before finding a solution. Be patient with each other and aim to resolve the conflict.

JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest financial services institutions in the United States, announced in February that it will issue the encrypted digital currency JPM Coin, which is considered by the outside world to be the official entry of JPMorgan Chase into the blockchain. The author combines JPMorgan Chase to issue the "Morgancoin" hot event, analyzes the encrypted digital currency from the perspective of monetary economics, and what does it mean to interpret JP Morgan Chase's release of Morgan? What is the purpose of digital currency trading? Is the so-called "stabilized currency" really stable?
1. Why did JP Morgan Chase issue "Morgancoin"?
Before you understand JPMorgan's currency, you first need to understand what is liquidation. Foreign countries are divided into three types: payment, liquidation, and settlement, but they are collectively referred to as clearing or clearing in China. The transaction process before liquidation and settlement refers to an initiation, authorization, and transmission phase of the payment instruction of the information. If you do not involve the transfer of money funds across the account department, then you do not need to liquidate, directly transfer money from one account to another. But if this kind of currency transfer involves a cross-account organization, then it needs to be liquidated. Clearing is divided into real-time and delayed modes.
In China, liquidation is carried out by the central bank. The supervision system used by the central bank is called the real-time full settlement system (RTGS). The supervision system used in the United States is called FEDWIRE. It was established in the 1970s and has been used. to date. The FEDWIRE system has not been extensively renewed or updated, so FEDWIRE can only be said to be a near real-time or near real-time system compared to RTGS in other regions.
- Opinion | Why is ConsenSys the best target for a JPMorgan acquisition?
- Is Morgan Chase sour? Jamie Dimon commented on Libra: a brilliant idea that will never be realized
- Is the Morgan coin finally coming? JPMorgan Chase announced that it will start trial operation as early as this year
- Pan Chao: The clearing system and blockchain network behind JP Morgan Chase
- Opinions | Is the financial era coming from a giant company to develop a stable currency?
However, there are some differences between FEDWIRE and real-time systems. For example, if I pay a cheque in the United States, it usually takes five working days to withdraw cash. If there is a holiday in the middle, it will have to be postponed and traced back to the source. This delay is not due to the lack of money of the American people, but because of the US Payment systems, especially retail payment systems, cannot be delivered in real time. For this reason, in November last year, the Federal Reserve sought advice from the whole society (mainly those related to these payment markets): how should the United States improve its payment system and improve its payment efficiency.
In this context, JPMorgan came out to make a "token", which is not just JPMorgan, but other banks also need such tokens. In the case that the Fed does not support it, the people first use tokens as an alternative to experiment. Earlier in 2017, Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Bank issued a similar token J-Coin to several major banks. However, this thing is not based on blockchain technology, but the purpose is consistent with JPMorgan.
Whether in the United States or Japan, the issuance of tokens by financial institutions is a phenomenon of "must be done", which is fundamentally inefficient in its payment system. However, as for the issue of tokens issued by JP Morgan Chase, the Fed's officials are not optimistic because there is no Fed's endorsement and commitment behind it. If there is liquidity risk, who will bear this responsibility? Without the endorsement of the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury, JPMorgan's payment system is doing more and the risk is greater.
Of course, JPMorgan itself can't bear the risks arising from the system's enlargement. This system may eventually become the "common land" in economics. The tragedy of the commons stems from the difficulty of defining the legal obligations and responsibilities of all parties. On this basis, JPMorgan expects to maintain the entire token system under a controlled volume.
Second, what is the purpose of digital currency trading?
The digital currency is a currency substitute for cross-border use. The US dollar is the target. In addition to the Indian rupee, the Mexican peso and the Australian dollar, the other 16 legal currencies are in compliance with the one-price law on 23 platforms. Explaining the one-price law in digital currency is the platform renminbi quote of Bitcoin, which is converted into US dollars according to the RMB exchange rate, and is consistent with the platform dollar quoted price of Bitcoin. For example, if you buy a burger in China, the price of the renminbi purchased for burgers is the same as the price at which you buy hamburgers in the US. Explain that in these 23 platforms, the quoted price of Bitcoin can fully reflect the fluctuation of the foreign exchange market, further indicating that the main purpose of people trading Bitcoin is to cross-border and exchange bitcoin from local currency to US dollar.
Buying bitcoin and trading in the country will not reflect the domestic bitcoin quotes. He reflects the changes in the exchange rate of the national currency against the US dollar. The main purpose of this phenomenon is "cross-border money laundering." A series of mainstream cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EOS, are used for cross-border purposes because their daily quotes fully reflect exchange rate information.
In addition to speculative currency, another purpose of people involved in cryptocurrency transactions is to transfer assets, which creates a problem of currency substitution. In the 1970s, the Bretton Woods system collapsed soon. Some countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia were relatively backward. Therefore, government agencies have produced corruption and issued a large amount of legal currency, so that the final legal currency is not as good as paper. At this time, residents of these countries are more willing to use the dollar to conduct daily payment transactions. These countries that used the US dollar as a currency substitution became dollarized, and the peak period of dollarization occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Encrypted assets emerged first in the United States, and it was priced in dollars. It did not say that it was priced in Swiss francs in euros, all of which were priced in dollars. So Americans think that this kind of thing is a kind of dollarization, or a digital embodiment of dollarization. The US government does not need to manage it, at least the US Treasury is this view. The US government has never said that he wants to take the initiative to push the dollar, nor does he say that I want to oppose it. This is the result of the market. Well, it is the long-term attitude of the United States to such a dollarization. Therefore, the US Treasury Department believes that this is a normal dollarization of crypto assets, which are priced in dollars.
In July last year, the Turkish lira collapsed because of problems in the Turkish government's finances, when Turkey's bitcoin offer suddenly rose. Because some people already know or expect the Lira to have problems, they need to change the lira to US dollars. At this time, the demand for Bitcoin has soared, and the price of Bitcoin has risen sharply.
In contrast, the Brexit in 2016, the British pound against the US dollar was in a relatively stable state some time before the Brexit referendum came out. The results of the Brexit release, the pound against the US dollar also fell, but the bitcoin against the pound The offer fell and the decline was very serious. Because the people do not need to use the pound for the bitcoin, then use the bitcoin for the dollar, and the pound to the dollar directly. There is still a 2% fee for using the pound for the bitcoin and then for the dollar. The UK is not a foreign exchange-controlled international. The pound is fully convertible, so you don't need to use this kind of encrypted assets to use bitcoin or stable currency to make an intermediary for foreign exchange transactions. At this time, you should sell the bitcoin held in pounds sterling and sell it for US dollars. Putting the pound-denominated position down, the dollar-denominated position went up, so the sale of bitcoin to the dollar, the bitcoin price also fell.
For developing countries, the government is wary of bitcoin and is wary of various stable currencies because it is priced in dollars, it serves the United States, and it has a non-linear characteristic in financial markets, that is, risks are not Expected. When the risk comes, everyone may be caught off guard.
Therefore, the central bank, the foreign exchange administration and other supervisory agencies strictly supervise the transaction of encrypted assets, both to protect national security and to defend the people's property.
3. Is the stable currency really stable?
Before explaining whether the stable currency is stable, it needs to be clear that there is a large amount of fraud in the virtual currency transaction. For example, USDT (Tekrainian currency, a virtual currency) may have the possibility of fraudulent issuance because the coefficient of change in USDT price is 0.94, close to one. This shows that the price is not formed by the equilibrium of the market. In other words, it is not the price reflected by the real market supply and demand, but the typical price after artificial manipulation.

Volvo's Gangeri lays out 5 rules for mobile marketing:
-Make your content discoverable. No treasure hunts?
-Make your content readable. You don't have to tell whole story at once. Flipboard, is an example, of tool a brand could use to embed content with a smaller but sophisticated audience
-Create relevant content. Offer stories that resonate with audience, across all devices.
-Make content sociable. 24% of mobile phone user recommend a brand to a friend via mobile. Volvo uses Instagram to let people tell the brand's story—taking photos of their cars, etc.
-Make content actionable. QR code? App? No. The app is not the answer. What we know about inmarket buyers is that embedding response mechanisms is critical. 90% of smartphone searches result in a consumer inquiry; 88% of these take action within a day. 70% of these actions take place at retail. (Those are Google stats, so take w/a large grain of salt.)

Patient-specific guide for revision of medial unicondylar knee arthroplasty to total knee arthroplastyBart Kerens, Bert Boonen, Martijn Schotanus & Nanne Kort
Background and purpose Unicompartmental to total knee arthroplasty revision surgery can be technically demanding. Joint line restoration, rotation, and augmentations can cause difficulties. We describe a new technique in which single-way fitting guides serve to position the knee system cutting blocks.
Method Preoperatively, images of the distal femur and proximal tibia are taken using CT scanning. These images are used to create a patient-specific guide that fits in one single position on the contours of the bone and the prosthesis in situ. The guides are fixed with pins and then removed. The pins determine the position of the cutting blocks. 10 consecutive revisions were performed using this technique.
Results All guides fitted well. 7 of 10 femoral prostheses were within the desired AP and sagittal angle ± 3°. However, 1 proximal tibia did not have enough bone stock on the medial plateau for adequate fixation of the guide, so conversion to intramedular referencing was performed. This was to be expected after the preoperative planning. All tibial components were within the desired AP angle ± 3° and 7 of 10 were within the desired sagittal angle. Hip-knee-ankle angle was within 0 ± 3° in 8 of 10 cases.
Interpretation This new technique makes preoperative planning and execution of this plan during surgery less demanding. Problems such as the need for augmentations can be predicted at the preoperative planning. The instrumentation must be redesigned in order to make this technique work in cases where there is minimal bone stock present.

The Iowa State University Extension explains one way to differentiate between a spruce tree and a pine tree is to look at the needles. Spruce needles grow directly from a branch individually, and pine needles grow in bunches of two, three or five. Also, the bark of a spruce tree is rough rather than smooth, which sets them apart from fir trees.Continue Reading
The needles of spruce trees are sharp, pointed and square. One reliable way to identify a spruce tree is to take a needle and roll it between two fingers. If the needle rolls easily between the fingers, it is a spruce tree. Fir tree needles are flat, are soft and don't roll easily between fingers.
Spruce needles are attached to their branches with stalk-like projections. When the tree sheds its needles, these projections remain on the tree. The color and length of needles aren't reliable indicators for identifying spruce trees because these characteristics vary.
Cones of spruce trees are long and flexible rather than rigid. The scales on spruce tree cones are thinner and less woody than those on pine trees. These cones grow to between 8 and 26 inches long, and their size varies from tree to tree.Learn more about Trees & Bushes

Psychologists have a growing concern with iPhone and other smartphone dependence. People are displaying behavior that shows they would rather interact with their phone, rather than other human beings. The Associated Press released an article today, which identifies these behaviors as very worrisome to many psychologists and experts. This is not just an issue for the younger generations. Teens and adults are engaging in addictive behavior with their smartphones that is causing harmful consequences. Some are minor, such as teens talking in three letter words such as LOL and BRB. Some behaviors are more destructive, such as car accidents due to texting or looking up information on smartphones.
- Does your iPhone know more about you than your: spouse, parents, friends or other important people in your life?
- Have you ever misplaced or lost your iPhone and ended up in a frenzy filled with separation anxiety?
- Does your iPhone have a name?
- Do you dress your iPhone up in various outfits of cases, sleeves and charms to make it look good?
- Do you ever pick up your iPhone and start doing something just to avoid eye contact or conversation with others?

Remarks
In FoxPro for MS-DOS, SYS(2010) returns as a character string the files setting in your CONFIG.SYS configuration file.
In Visual FoxPro, SYS(2010) always returns 255.
Most Config.sys files contain a line specifying the maximum number of files that can be opened at the same time under MS-DOS. This line usually reads FILES=NNN, where NNN is a number. SYS(2010) returns this number.
A Config.sys configuration file doesn't have to have a files setting; furthermore, you need not have a Config.sys file. SYS(2010) returns the default MS-DOS files setting in either case.
The number returned by SYS(2010) isn't the number of files you can open in Visual FoxPro, FoxPro for Windows, and FoxPro for MS-DOS. MS-DOS opens files for its own use. Visual FoxPro and FoxPro for Windows also open files for their own internal use, and the number of these open files can vary throughout a FoxPro session. The files setting in your Config.sys file must be somewhat greater than the number of files you would like to open in Visual FoxPro.

Active Assistance for Psychological Therapy (Actissist): A digital intervention for co-producing care in psychosis
Image result for person on mobile phone
Download case study
Principal Investigator: Dr Sandra Bucci, The University of Manchester, Technical Leads: Prof. John Ainsworth and Mr Matthew Machin, The University of Manchester
The Challenge
Severe mental health problems such as schizophrenia affect 24 million people worldwide. Psychosis typically develops in early adulthood and up to 80% of patients relapse within 5-years.
Treating psychosis effectively is a complex process that takes time and requires a lot of resource. If the symptoms of psychosis are not addressed quickly then treatment can be challenging and ultimately lead to worse outcomes for patients and their families.
There is an increasing need to develop innovative solutions that improve the speed and quality of recovery in psychosis beyond those offered by conventional treatments. The challenge is to:
 1. Deliver more effective, efficient psychological treatments at the point-of-need to overcome limitations in existing practice and improve the speed and quality of recovery over and above existing drug treatments.
 2. Increase access to psychological therapies that encourage patients to better self-manage their symptoms and ensure early signs of relapse are identified and treated in a timely manner.
The Research
A team of researchers at The University of Manchester worked with service users and other stakeholders to co-design a smartphone app that uses academic theory to help support patients. The 12-week digital intervention works by:
 - helping patients better identify the early warning signs of psychosis;
 - delivering treatment at the point that it is needed most;
 - improving the patient's ability to function day-to-day;
 - enhancing the patients overall quality of life; and
 - potentially reducing demand on NHS services.
By applying a patient-centred approach Actissist delivers timely, personalised care that reduces the risk of distressing psychotic experiences.
Image result for person on mobile phone
The Results
Actissist was used in a small study with 24 patients to make sure that it is safe, practical and accepted by patients as an effective way to treat psychotic and other distressing experiences.
The research showed that patients were comfortable with using Actissist to the extent that uptake of the app was higher and drop-out rates lower than face-to-face and other computerized psychological packages.
In addition, the research team found the app led to statistically significant improvements in patient outcomes at the end of treatment, in comparison with a control group of patients who used a symptom-monitoring app. When looked at in detail, researchers found high rates of acceptability and other individual benefits for patients as a result of the intervention.
The Impact
This research has the potential for broad-ranging impact with benefits to patients, the NHS, healthcare professionals, the national and international scientific communities, and government policies.
As Actissist is a platform technology that can be applied to a range of both mental and physical health problems, this research is of keen interest to healthcare academics as well as computer scientists and informaticians across institutions worldwide.
Furthermore, this research helps further advance and understand how technology can help deliver new health and care treatments. Actissist is unique in applying comprehensive and theory-driven clinical techniques to digital treatments, delivered in real-time, to patients with severe mental health problems. By using rigorous scientific methods, the app allows other innovators to develop further mental health interventions using the Actissist model.
Finally, as self-management is a cornerstone of NHS policy, this research addresses established NHS England priorities in the area of severe mental health treatment policy.

I recently wrote about my 4-year old who only drinks milk from her straw sippy cup wondering when to give them up. A number of you mentioned you had no idea either. So I asked around, did some investigative work and discovered 5 important things parents need to know about starting, using and stopping sippy cups.
1. Start them early: Babies usually start solids by the time they're 6 months. This is also the time it is okay to introduce water and (diluted) juice. It's a good idea to get a few starter sippy cups, with handles, lids and a hard spout, to get your child used to the idea that liquids (including milk) can come in something other than a bottle or breast.
While babies will have fun throwing these cups for a while, by 9 months many will start drinking from it. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends children stop the bottle and drink from sippy cups by one year of age.
2. Use sippy cups wisely: Once your child is using a sippy cup you need to use them wisely. According Healthy Children, a website powered by the AAP, avoid using sippy cups as a pacifier or allowing kids to sip on them throughout the day unless its filled with water. Sprout sippy cups filled with milk, juice or juice drinks, allow sugar (even natural sources) to stay in the mouth longer and increase the risk of tooth decay.
This may be why cavities have increased by 15 percent from 1994 to 2002 in children 2-5 years old according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
3. Drop the sprout cups ASAP: Traditional sippy cups are only supposed to be used as a short transition to real cups. Overuse of sippy cups can cause more than dental caries, they can also contribute to speech difficulties.
Because children suck on sippy cups the way they do bottles, if used too long, it can change the position of the tongue and teeth, potentially causing lisps and articulation problems. According to this Web MD article, the traditional sippy should only be used for about a month. Using cups with a straw are much better for speech development and dental health.
Bottom line: switch to a straw cup as soon as you can.
4. Encourage kids to drink from regular cups: The AAP recommends teaching children to start drinking from regular cups between 12 and 15 months. Once children master this, you might want to use regular cups at meals and straw cups for water on the go.
Another drawback to young children sucking for too long is something called Oral Myofunctional Disorder (OMD). According to the International Association of Orofacial Myology's website, the symptoms include one of the following:
1. abnormal thumb, finger, lip, and tongue sucking habits
2. an inappropriate mouth-open lips-open resting posture problem
3. a forward interdental rest posture of the tongue problem
4. a forward rest position of the tongue against the maxillary incisors problem
5. a lateral, posterior interdental tongue rest posture problem
6. inappropriate thrusting of the tongue in speaking and/or swallowing.
These abnormal habit patterns, functional activities, and postures can open the dental bite beyond the normal rest position. This can result in a disruption of dental development in children and over-eruption of selected teeth in adults.
A prime example of an OMD, familiar to all pediatricians and dentists, is a retained sucking habit or use of a sippy cup. While it is tempting to ignore such habits since some children do outgrow them, many children do not spontaneously discontinue noxious habits and will need help in eliminating the habits.
5. Part with sippy cups between 2 and 3 years: According to the AAP Pediatric Nutrition Manual, children are developmentally ready to give up sippy cups by 2 to 3 years of age. Will it hurt to use them to prevent spills once and awhile? Probably not. If your child uses an open cup and some sippy cups with straws it is probably okay.
But just like we advance textures with our babies and let toddlers use utensils, we have to do the same with drinking. It's an important and overlooked part of development.
Anyone having trouble getting your child to give up the sippy cup habit?

Goodsir left Australia for England & France in 1900, and in the 1920s established herself as a painter of portraits, still lifes, & interiors that captured the evocative people, stories, & scenes of Parisian life. From about 1912, she shuttled between London & Paris, but finally settled in Paris at 18 Rue de l'Odéon. Her partner was Rachel Dunn, who is depicted in several of her paintings.
The Australian painter Agnes Noyes Goodsir was born in Portland, Victoria, the daughter of the Commissioner of Customs at Melbourne. She started her art education at the Bendigo School of Mines in the 1890s, and in 1899, she moved to Paris to continue her studies. From about 1912 she shuttled between London and Paris, but finally settled in Paris at 18 Rue de l'Odéon. Agnes Goodsir moved within lesbian circles in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s, her constant companion was Rachel Dunn, known as Cherry and depicted in several of her paintings, such as Girl with Cigarette 1925, The Letter 1926.

This is a great Wonder to learn about how an African American, George Crum accidentally invented the potato chip in 1853 because of a complaint made by a customer. I am going to use this Wonder as a spring board during an upcoming opinion/persuasive writing unit. After reading the Wonder, I'm going to encourage kids to write about their favorite potato chip and give reasons as to why it's the best chip.
Some of Motown's popular acts are included in this Wonder. Have students get into groups and do some research on these famous African-American musicians, and share with the class.
The 'Try it out!' section has a link to an online photo gallery of Tuskegee Airmen. Print some of these pictures and do a See, Think, Wonder.
These two Wonders go hand-in-hand for Black History month. They are perfect to pair together or to pair with one of the following picture books, The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson, Child of the Civil Rights Movement by Paula Young Shelton, Freedom Summer by Deborah Wiles, Freedom on the Menu, Sit-In: How Four Friends Stood Up by Sitting Down by Andrea Pinkney, or The Bus Ride that Changed History by Pamela Duncan Edwards.
I'm going to use this Wonder for reviewing main idea and supporting details. There are lots of supporting details in the Wonder about why George Washington Carver was an African-American hero.
This is a great Wonder to build background knowledge and initiate a discussion about the Underground Railroad. It also discusses one of the most important "conductors", Harriet Tubman. This Wonder would be great paired with Henry's Freedom Box by Ellen Levine, Secret Signs: An Escape Through the Underground Railroad by Anita Riggio, and Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by Deborah Hopkinson.
There are many dates given in the this Wonder that would be useful in creating a timeline of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. You could assign groups of students a time or event in Dr. King's life, have them research it, and share out to the class.

One of the most difficult things for people with social anxiety disorder (SAD) to do is seek help. Making an appointment with a doctor, going for the appointment, and talking about symptoms are all situations likely to elicit the anxiety that you are trying to eliminate.
In the best case scenario, the doctor, psychiatrist, or therapist that diagnoses or treats you is empathetic and respectful. This is especially important when you have SAD. Feeling understood and listened to will make it easier for you to trust and be open.
What happens when your doctor is not empathetic or respectful?
Many problems emerge when someone with SAD visits a doctor with poor bedside manner.
- If your doctor is arrogant, you may feel inferior.
- If your doctor doesn't listen to you, you may feel as though you are not worth being listened to.
- If your doctor dismisses your symptoms, you may start to believe they are not really a problem.
The person who is treating your social anxiety should not make you feel uncomfortable. If this is happening to you, it is time to ask for a referral.
What do you think? Have you had bad experiences trying to get help for SAD? How did you handle bad experiences with doctors?
This post is part of a blog carnival about the impact of doctor's attitudes on patient care, hosted by the Guide to Patient Empowerment, Trisha Torrey.

Environmental and Experimental Factors Affecting Efficacy Testing of Nonporous Plastic Antimicrobial Surfaces
Test methods for efficacy assessment of antimicrobial coatings are not modelled on a hospital environment, and instead use high humidity (>90%) high temperature (37 °C), and no airflow. Therefore, an inoculum will not dry, resulting in an antimicrobial surface exhibiting prolonged antimicrobial activity, as moisture is critical to activity. Liquids will dry quicker in a hospital ward, resulting in a reduced antimicrobial efficacy compared to the existing test, rendering the test results artificially favourable to the antimicrobial claim of the product. This study aimed to assess how hospital room environmental conditions can affect the drying time of an inoculum, and to use this data to inform test parameters for antimicrobial efficacy testing based on the hospital ward.
The drying time of different droplet sizes, in a range of environmental conditions likely found in a hospital ward, were recorded (n = 630), and used to create a model to inform users of the experimental conditions required to provide a drying time similar to what can be expected in the hospital ward. Drying time data demonstrated significant (p < 0.05) variance when humidity, temperature, and airflow were assessed. A mathematical model was created to select environmental conditions for in vitro antimicrobial efficacy testing. Drying time in different environmental conditions demonstrates that experimental set-ups affect the amount of time an inoculum stays wet, which in turn may affect the efficacy of an antimicrobial surface.
This should be an important consideration for hospitals and other potential users, whilst future tests predict efficacy in the intended end-use environment.

IScreenDisplay's IDisplayTransformation.FromMapPoint transforms active view's coordinates into device coordinates (i.e. pixels). Moreover, you are accessing pMxDoc.ActiveView which will vary depending on whether you are in data view or page view. This means that the source unit space will be either map units or page units.
If you want to transform a coordinates in a certain map into page coordinates on the page layout you need:
 1. Transform the map's coordinates to the device space (i.e. cast the particular map as IActiveView and use its screen display's transformation, FromMapPoint).
 2. Transform the obtained device coordinates into page coordinates (i.e. cast the document's page layout as IActiveView and use its screen display transformation, ToMapPoint). Note that the name ToMapPoint here is slightly misleading as the "map point" here actually means page coordinates.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (Oct. 2016) - Have you ever spotted something unexpected while walking down the street? Last December, paleontologists literally stumbled upon a new discovery of a fossil sea cow in a very unexpected place - in a limestone paving stone in Spain! Research presented this week at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, describes this remarkable find and how it is changing our understanding of sea cow evolution.
The unusual pavement was spotted in the picturesque town of Girona, northern Spain. A local geologist first noticed the fossil and submitted it to the website '', an online database of urban fossils worldwide. As word of the fossil spread, paleontologists Dr. Manja Voss and Dr. Oliver Hampe, from the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, visited Girona to take a look.
Closer inspection of the paving stones by Dr. Voss and Dr. Hampe revealed that the complex array of shapes was slices of the backbone and skull of an ancient marine mammal. Based on the skull and teeth, they concluded that it was a sirenian, or sea cow, a member of a group of large, plant-eating marine mammals represented today by the living manatee and dugong.
Once the significance of the fossil was understood, Dr. Voss and Dr. Hampe worked with the mayoralty of Girona and local geologists to have the 50x30cm large paving stones removed for study. Since the rock was cut into slices to form the paving stones, the paleontologists had a cross-sectional view of the sea cow's skull, revealing many details of its anatomy. However, they also wanted to see inside the stones, so they took them to a medical hospital, the Clinica Girona, where they were CT-scanned.
The scientists discovered that the 'Girona Sea Cow' is most likely a representative of Prototherium, a genus of extinct sea cows from Spain and Italy. However, this find is particularly important because the rocks from which the paving slabs were quarried are 40 million years old, explains Voss. "Hence the find represents one of the oldest sea cows in Europe, making it a unique opportunity to enhance our knowledge on the evolution and diversity of this marine mammal group that arose about 50 million years ago."
Next the scientists will use the CT scans to try to digitally piece together the separate skull slices of Prototherium. This can help them answer more questions, such as the animals' age when it died and its potential relationship to other fossil sea cows.
The Girona Sea Cow, which is providing clues into the evolution of sea cows in the ancient oceans of Europe, shows that fossils can be found in surprising locations. Voss says "While the limestone used to build the city of Girona are enriched by fossils -- it is quite common to identify invertebrates for example--finding a marine mammal on which thousands of people walked over for the last two decades is indeed very peculiar."

Acceleration for a velocity-time graph
Finding the gradient of a velocity-time graph gives you the acceleration of the object. The greater the gradient the greater the acceleration.
Distance travelled from a velocity-time graph
The distance travelled by an object can be found from the area underneath a velocity-time graph.
The area underneath this graph is a triangle.
The area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 10 x 5 = 25m.
The distance travelled by the object is 25m.
