As we explore the faith-science relationship, part of the challenge is helping students see connections they did not suspect existed. Building a sense of how things are connected is a major part of learning. Making a leap in thinking to connect things we thought were different can be a powerful learning experience. FASTly activities look for ways to help students see various kinds of connections. For example, we want them to see:
- that doing science and caring for others can be connected through the ways we interact as we study, the ways we relate our learning to the wider community and the uses to which we put scientific understanding.
- that scientific disciplines and virtues can be connected as we exercise humility, honesty, and kindness during learning and in the practice of science.
- that the "sacred" and the "secular" are connected as we explore what faith has to do with daily workings in the science classroom and the big questions raised by modern science.
- that learning and life are connected as we consider how what is learned about science illuminates our choices and impacts our lifestyles outside the classroom.
Making these connections helps guard against reducing science to facts and learning information. It helps resist the temptation to reduce our understanding of the world to knowledge of material processes. Making connections offers a chance to glimpse the coherence of God's world and how it hangs together as a whole with all the parts working together.
FASTly activities offer a variety of strategies for making connections. These include:
- having students investigate multiple perspectives on the same phenomena by, for example, comparing scientific and non-scientific accounts of the same scenario. Activity: Photo Scrapbook
- providing tasks that ask students to relate their science learning to choices outside the classroom, such as relating learning about sustainable chemistry to choices about waste disposal. Activity: Labs, Scarcity and Choices
- working to help students see connections across different curriculum areas by, for instance, having them consider in Bible class how the early church handled major disagreements and what that says to present day faith and science disputes. Activity: The Jerusalem Council
- asking students to sort collections of disparate information and reflect on what their decisions reveal about what they see as related and unrelated. Activity: Adam and Eve: Full Maturity or Child-like Innocence?
We invite you to explore the links and consider what further strategies you can use to help students see rich connections, instead of fragmentation, in their learning.

What Is a Jon Boat?
A Jon boat is basically a boat that is flat and shallow. It incorporates one or more benches extending from one side to another. Very often it is made from wood, although there are some Jon boats made from aluminum.
Design
A Jon boat is flat-bottomed. This type of boat is very shallow and typically is just a few inches above the water's surface. Inevitably, for this reason, a Jon boat is restricted to being used when waters are calm and the weather is favorable because otherwise using the boat tends to be a bit risky. Due to this shape Jon boats do not manage to cut through waves, but simply ride over them. So, for safety reasons, it is best to limit the boat's use to calm waters and lakes. Jon boats typically feature a bench for the occupant to sit on. A large Jon boat may have one or two benches to accommodate more people. Basically a Jon boat has an open hull, without a bilge. For this reason the ribs are left exposed. However, some people may prefer to cover the ribs so as to achieve a level, even surface. Jon boats in most cases have a transom onto which an outboard motor is mounted. Jon boats can easily float evenly over a very shallow amount of water.
Size
Jon boats are usually found between 8 and 20 feet long when bought ready-made. Jon boats usually have a width that ranges between 32 and 56 inches. Jon boats can be bought from marine specialists and suppliers, although some people may opt to construct them themselves since their design is simple and they can be built quite easily. For this reason there are also a number of Jon boats that are made in different dimensions.
Use
Jon boats are used mostly by fishermen who like to go fishing in lakes, and also for family recreational purposes and boat trips. Their strong point is for shallow water fishing. Jon boats are also used for hunting purposes.
Maintenance
Jon boats are relatively easy to maintain since their design enables basic maintenance to be carried out easily. Obviously the maintenance required will depend on the material from which the boat is made, whether the material is wood or aluminum. Wood requires a bit more care and regular inspection. Aluminum Jon boats are in most cases single hulled so that the water never ends up getting trapped. Jon boats can easily be covered with a boat cover. Furthermore, they can also be upgraded in various ways for little money.


How to Calm a Hyper Overactive Dog

Overactive dogs need a fun outlet.
Image Credit: Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
If your dog becomes so excited when you return home that he can't settle down, all the while jumping, licking, barking or even urinating from excitement, you have a hyper overactive dog. Other signs of a hyper dog include lunging while walking on a leash, tail chasing and needing constant attention and activity. Hyper behavior isn't good for your dog; it signals boredom and lack of stimulation, says Cesar Millan on his website Cesar'sWay. This behavior can wear you out, but you can take steps to calm a hyper overactive dog.
Treat Any Medical Causes
Your dog might be hyperactive because of a medical reason. You should first take your overactive dog to a veterinarian to rule out any medical reasons, especially if this behavior is new. If your dog has a medical condition, you would need to treat it instead of trying a behavioral approach. Some medical conditions that cause a dog to be hyper include anxiety disorder, hyperthyroidism, allergies or cognitive decline, says veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker in The Huffington Post.
Provide Outlets
Some breeds, such as the Jack Russell terrier, are bundles of energy. Whether you have a naturally hyperactive breed or you just have an overactive dog, provide outlets for your dog to expend some of his energy. You can engage in vigorous daily interactive playtime with your pup, such as throwing a ball or stick, going to a dog park or playing tug of war. Long walks are good to help burn off excess energy as is agility training and other dog sports such as swimming. When your dog burns off energy, he has an easier time relaxing, says Millan.
Create a Calming Environment
Excitable and hyper dogs often respond to their environment. Create a calm and structured environment by setting up routines for when your dog eats, goes outside and naps coupled with daily exercise and training, and you can calm an excitable dog. You can make a hyper dog more overactive when you do the wrong things. For example, if you respond to the hyperactivity by restraining, chasing or yelling at the dog, you can escalate the excitement, says Pat Miller, dog trainer and author of "The Power of Positive Dog Training" in The Whole Dog Journal.
Set Up a Routine
If you want your bundle of energy to settle down at night, set up a routine that leads to sleep. Your routine could be that you sit with your dog while you watch TV or read a book. Maybe this quiet time includes brushing your dog. Then, when it's time for bed, turn off the TV or the lights, and say, "bedtime" or another similar phrase, and then direct your dog to her bed.
Try Calming Remedies
Aromatherapy works on dogs as it does on humans. After all, dogs have an excellent sense of smell. Lavender essential oil can soothe dogs, says registered aromatherapist Lisa M. Browder in The Bark. Other oils that calm an agitated dog include petitgrain, marjoram, vativer and sweet orange.

The Veils of Negative Existance and the Qliphoth
Author: Ivory Cat
suggests to us to use these ideas of negative existence as counters with no
true value unto themselves but useful in our calculations of the workings of
the Tree. It is comprised of the Ain, (negativity), Ain Soph, (the limitless)
and Ain Soph Aur (the limitless light). It is out of the last veil that
Kether is born. Fortunes calls these "the algebraic symbols that enable us to
think of that which transcends thought, and which at the same time hide that
which they represent; they are the masks of transcendent realities." She goes
on to say that these are not supposed to be understood, being that they are
only "symbols" of the unmanifest, designated only to give the mind
suggestions towards certain ideas. However, since these are the unmanifested,
the mind really cannot comprehend them. Even though Negative existence is
outside our scope of realization, it is important to try to keep in mind that
we can turn our minds in the direction of this absolute of unmanifest area,
even if we can't reach it. That's because all that has been manifested came
out of an area of the unmanifested. These are abstract symbols for the mind
to ingest, digest, and store for later enlightenment. These abstract symbols
are the seeds for thought and new ideas, and she puts it into perspective
well by stating that Realization is concretizing the Abstract. Although we
may not know it's nature, we know it's effects.
The next area is a highly controversial area called the Qliphoth, and
although I really don't know how to pronounced it, I would guess it would be
something like kle-foth. I have discovered that this part of the tree is
rarely discussed in many of the books and completely avoided like the plague
by many practitioners. I had asked one gentleman who has written a few books
on Qabalah about this area and he wouldn't discuss it with me. I had no idea
whatsoever that this was such a taboo subject, especially since Dion Fortune
does such an excellent job of addressing it. I feel as strongly about this as
she did. I believe that working with an intense system as the Kabalah,
esoteric initiates owe it to themselves to be educated about the whole
system, rather than just part of it. That way they can make better decisions
and obtain higher results, through knowing the undesirable aspects as well as
the desirable.
This not only gives us an edge, but as Fortune puts it "It is a sound
magical maxim not to invoke any force unless you are equipped to deal with
its averse aspect". She also writes that whoever uses the Tree as a magical
system really has no option but to deal with the aspects of the Qliphoth. If
one delves into the magical arena long enough, one will inevitably get bit
where the sun doesn't shine if they are not prepared.
Fortune describes the Qliphoth as "aptly termed the evil and averse
Sephiroth and are the unbalanced and destructive aspect of the Holy Stations
(Sephiroth) themselves". She goes on to write that "Whoever attempts to work
with the positive aspect of a Sephirah must remember that it has a negative
aspect" and it's important to maintain the balance of forces. The Qliphoth is
looked at as the place where one finds the Absolute of all averse conditions
as in absolute lust, absolute envy, etc. It could be looked at as a
reflection of the whole Tree glyph emanating from Kether downward. Or picture
yourself standing on a mirror looking down at your reflection extending from
your feet. For each Sephiroth has an archangel associated to it, each averse
side, or it's Qliphoth has its demon. It is viewed as the equivalent of
proverbial hell, where all the nasty traits or "sins" of human
characteristics are concentrated. I neither recommend or condone anyone to
work in this specifically defined area of Qliphoth.
However, after reading this chapter in The Mystical Qabalah several
times, I have come to another understanding of Qliphoth, maybe I would even
refer to it as "The Lighter Side of Qlipoth". Fortune made a very profound
statement that "We all have the faults of our qualities". In other words,
any of our good qualities taken to the extreme can become undesirable. A
person can be the most helpful soul around, but if it is an extreme nature
and they help anybody all the time no matter what, they can be a down right
butt-in-ski and very irritating. I'll go out on a limb with my own personal
analogy. I was blessed with artistic talent (Netzach), I also inherited the
temperament to go with it. I know I am a bit of a perfectionist with my work
and myself; if I go overboard with it I can become unreasonable. My personal
Qlipoth here is temperament and unreasonability. So I must realize that, and
strive to keep these averse characteristics in balance with my good
qualities. Fortune gives an example; if one invoking the fiery energy of Mars
(Geburah) does so without first purifying oneself, it can lead to the
Martian forces going to extremes, becoming destructive and cruel, or vigorous
and energetic can fall into oppression.
Fortune makes a point of distinguishing between what the occultist refers
to as positive and negative evil, saying that this is an important point in
practice because of how this influences our immediate judgment and conduct.
She defines Positive evil as "a force which is moving against the current of
evolution" and negative as "simply the opposition of an inertia which has not
yet been overcome, or momentum that has not been neutralized." Negative is
the strain between opposites and this strain is needed to keep all in check
with each other, keeps one from dominion over the others.
"Negative evil is the practical corollary of the principle of
Equilibrium." The universe is held together and perpetuated because of the
strain of opposing forces. An example of negative evil is how people view
each other......the evangelical fundamentalist views new agers as "evil", the
hippie was viewed as "evil" by the establishment, when in reality, it just
depends on the perception or the prejudice eyes of the other side! Fortunes
says "Never the less, we cannot dispense with either of these opposing
factors if society is to be maintained in a healthy state; between them we
achieve a steady progress that neither disorganizes society nor permits it to
sink into inertia and decay". If either side were left unchecked, it would
lead to harm. To label one contending force as good and the other as evil is
a mistake and can lead to the fundamentalist heresy of dualism. Very
important to grasp this. She says that we "cannot deal with evil by
destroying it, but only by absorbing and harmonizing it."
She writes that positive evil is another animal. This is something
carried too far, as in a single, dominant political party leading into
political corruption. Each side will have its sympathetic followers and it is
this Qliphothic force that gives the zealot his abnormal power.
"Each Qliphah arose primarily as an emanation of unbalanced force in the
course of the evolution of the corresponding Sephirah. The solution of the
problem of evil and its eradication from the world is not achieved through
suppression, or destruction, but through its compensation and consequent
absorption back into the Sephirah from which it came." It's also important to
understand that forces in equilibrium are static, neutralized. Progress can
not take place in perfect equilibrium. It is not until they become out of
balance that the forces are freed for action, and it is only at this point
that change and growth can take place. As we come to realize this and
understand what our adverse traits are, only then can we attempt to absorb
and harmonize them into becoming our virtuous qualities.

Definition of Genu
Genu: The Latin word for the knee. When the knee is referred to in medicine, it is just called the knee. However, the word "genu" is also used in medicine as in: genu recurvatum (hyperextension of the knee), genu valgum (knock knee) and genu varum (bowleg).
The knee (or genu, if you are into Latin) is a joint which has three parts. The thigh bone (femur) meets the large shin bone (tibia) forming the main knee joint. This joint has an inner (medial) and an outer (lateral) compartment. The kneecap (patella) joins the femur to form a third joint, called the patellofemoral joint.
The knee joint is surrounded by a joint capsule with ligaments strapping the inside and outside of the joint (collateral ligaments) as well as crossing within the joint (cruciate ligaments). These ligaments provide stability and strength to the knee joint.
The large muscles of the thigh move the knee. In the front of the thigh the quadriceps muscles extend the knee joint. In the back of the thigh, the hamstring muscles flex the knee. The knee also rotates slightly under guidance of specific muscles of the thigh.
The knee functions to allow movement of the leg and is critical to normal walking. The knee flexes normally to a maximum of 135 degrees and extends to 0 degrees. The bursae, or fluid-filled sacs, serve as gliding surfaces for the tendons to reduce the force of friction as these tendons move. The knee is a weightbearing joint. Each meniscus serves to evenly load the surface during weightbearing and also adds in disbursing joint fluid for joint lubrication.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

The dictionary defines "pervert" as
1 a: to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true or morally right : corrupt b: to cause to turn aside or away from what is generally done or accepted : misdirect
2 a: to divert to a wrong end or purpose : misuse b: to twist the meaning or sense of : misinterpret
Likewise, "perverse" is defined:
1 a: turned away from what is right or good : corrupt b: improper, incorrect c: contrary to the evidence or the direction of the judge on a point of law
2 a: obstinate in opposing what is right, reasonable, or accepted : wrongheaded b: arising from or indicative of stubbornness or obstinacy
3: marked by peevishness or petulance : cranky
4: marked by perversion : perverted
So when I read today at LifeSiteNews that Brazilian President Luiz Lula said that opposition to homosexuality was "perverse," in addition to recalling sayings like "the pot calling the kettle…", a passage from the Bible came to mind.
Here's what the LifeSiteNews article said:
After calling for a universal embrace of the homosexual movement, the president affirmed that "homophobia" is perhaps "the most perverse disease impregnated in the human head."
Homosexuality fits the definition of "pervert" and "perverse" because it perverts (to divert to a wrong end or purpose; misuse; turns aside from what is good and morally right) God's design–and the apparent natural function–for human sexuality and is perverse in that the act and those who promote it are being "obstinate in opposing what is right, reasonable, or accepted" and are often "marked by peevishness or petulance."
That Bible verse that came to mind? Isaiah 5:20, which says
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light
I guess those words can also simply describe the kind of world we've come to live in.

Atlantic Remote Sensing Land/Ocean Experiment
Project Description
ARSLOE was sponsored jointly by the Coastal Engineering Research
Center (CERC) of the US Army Corps of Engineers and the National
Ocean Survey (now Service) of NOAA; it was conducted from 6 October
to 30 November 1980 in the area off Duck, NC, near the CERC Field
Research Facility. The data were collected using modern electronic
sensors such as EM current meters, waveriders, wave staffs and
pressure gauges. Instrument type and characteristics, position,
mean sea level, initial time, time span of the data sample and
sampling period are reported for each series of measurements.
Depending on the type of instrument used and data collected, data
are reported in eight alternate data records. These contain: 1) EM
current meter data (east and north components); 2) Baylor gauge
data (water level); 3) pressure gauge data (water pressure); 4)
waverider data (wave displacement); 5) wave direction buoy (wave
displacement, east and north wave slope components); 6) wave

Could a Sherman Firefly destroy a tiger?
Shermans had the advantage of speed and maneuverability so could maneuver for position easier than a Tiger.
While the Firefly could destroy a Tiger tank it was still vulnerable to the Tiger's gun.
Shermans had the advantage of speed and maneuverability so could maneuver for position easier than a Tiger..
Can a Tiger tank destroy an Abrams?
A Tiger 1 Panzer VI Heavy tank cannot take an Abrams from the front at any distance,as it will need atleast 5–6 shots to penetrate the hull and between 7–9 shots to penetrate the turret, all shots must be fired in the same spot.
Did the US have a heavy tank in WWII?
The United States had fielded the forty-six-ton M-26 Pershing at the the end of World War II as a heavy tank, but it was outmuscled by the competition. "Prior to World War II, a tank weighing 30 tons or more was regarded as heavy," Hunnicutt writes.
What was the deadliest year of ww2?
_PHONE_ deadliest events of the past 2,500 years, based on work by researcher and author Matthew White. In 1945 WWII became the bloodiest war in recorded history.
What destroyed most tanks in ww2?
Luftwaffe legend Hans-Ulrich Rudel claimed to have destroyed 519 Soviet tanks, most of them while piloting a cannon-armed Junkers Ju-87G Panzerknäcker, or "tankbuster." Aleksandr Yefimov, said to have destroyed 126 German tanks while flying the Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik, was twice made a Hero of the Soviet Union.
Why was the Tiger tank so feared?
The Tiger tank was greatly feared by the Allies in the Second World War – and with good reason. … Such was the strength of its armour that startled British crews would see shells fired from their Churchill tanks simply bounce off the Tiger.
How many Shermans did it take to kill a tiger?
5 ShermansTechnically yes, in that at least 5 Shermans were used in any engagement with the Tiger II. However, this is in no way the whole story. See, the US Army would also have used 5 Shermans to take down a Panzer IV or a Panther or to accompany infantry.
Does America still use tanks?
A U.S. Army armored brigade typically operates around 100 tanks. The Army has 16 armored brigades as part of a total force of 58 combat brigades. … Congress in 2019 gave the Army $1.5 billion to buy 135 M-1s from General Dynamics, extending a program that began in the 1970s.
Could a Tiger tank beat a modern tank?
Yes Abrams and any other modern tank has huge advantage with better sensors and better armour and better gun. But that doesn't mean tiger cannot win. … It can penetrate Abrams rear armour and do a mobility kill on engine from very far away.
How many US tanks were lost in ww2?
1,741 tanksAt least 1,741 tanks destroyed in _PHONE_, 549 light and medium tanks destroyed in _PHONE_ and 134 combat cars.
What was the most powerful tank in World War 2?
The 43-ton Panther weighed almost twice as much as its predecessor and was correspondingly better armoured. Germany also introduced the still more powerful Tiger tank, armed with an 88-mm gun. Its final version (Tiger II), at 68 tons, was to be the heaviest tank used during World War II.

WAVE DIFFRACTIONS BY ROWS OF VERTICAL CYLINDERS OF ARBITRARY CROSS SECTION
Akinori Yoshida, Norio Iida, Keisuke Murakami
Abstract
Wave diffractions by a number of (a group of or a row of) vertical cylinders have been investigated in connection with, e.g., multilegged offshore structures (Spring and Monkmeyer(1974), Ohkusu(1974), Chakrabarti(1978), Mciver and Evans(1984), etc.); Wave-Power absorption devices (Miles (1983), Falnes(1984) , Kyllingstad(1984) , etc.); Wave barrier systems (Massel(1976), Kakuno and Oda(1986), etc.). Most of the previous works were, however, mainly aimed at the wave diffractions by cylinders of circular cross section and/or by cylinders of relatively small dimensions compared to wave length. In this paper, we describe a simple yet versatile analytical method to solve wave diffractions by infinite rows of vertical cylinders. In the method, it is assumed, in addition to usual linearised small amplitude assumptions, that: the row of cylinders is composed of infinite number of surface-piercing evenly spaced equal cylinders fixed on sea bottom; incident wave direction is perpendicular to the row; the number of rows may be arbitrary, at least in principle; the cross sectional shape of the cylinders may be arbitrary as long as it is symmetrical with respect to the incident wave ray; and the cylinders are relatively large compared to incident wave length so that inertial forces are predominant to drag forces.

Swiss Screw Technology delivers the high precision demanded by control and valve components
Density. Concentration. Flow rates. Liquid levels. Those are just a few of the parameters regulated by controls and valves found in countless types of processing equipment used in industries and municipalities. Components such as positioners, actuators, valve controls, and pressure regulators must be of the highest precision to deliver reliable performance in critical operations. Components manufactured with Swiss screw technology provide an added measure of confidence throughout the control loop.
Swiss screw machines create components of unparalleled accuracy in addition to a number of other advantages for control and valve manufacturers.
Critical tolerances – Valve bodies and related control accessories must meet tight tolerances to ensure proper liquid flow. Swiss screw technology provides superior tolerances in these components through better support for all stock material during the manufacturing process. That's because the part moves while the tooling is stationary, resulting in reduced risk of the support material moving for precision accuracy in meeting required tolerances.
Component geometries – Hardware found in controls and valves varies as much as the types of control processes. Swiss screw machines can produce a broad range of these complex, intricate parts faster and with extraordinary precision. The key is the technology's capabilities for up to 6-axis machining, including an additional rotation around the Z axis for faster cut times. Swiss screw machines also offer positioning for component feature contouring that might otherwise have to be machined separately.
Material versatility – Materials used in control and valve applications must stand up to a variety of liquids including harsh chemicals and other solutions. Swiss screw machining can be used to machine the materials required such as stainless steel, aluminum, titanium and a range of alloys.
Unmatched accuracy – Swiss screw machining offers the dimensional control and other properties required by the many different kinds of automotive parts. That's because the technology provides better support for all stock material – the part moves while the tooling is stationary. The result is reduced risk of the support material moving for precision accuracy.
For more than 50 years, Sheldon Precision has been a leader in Swiss screw machine technology. As an independent manufacturer, we can produce the most challenging and complex Swiss screw machine components for your control and valve applications.
For more information on how we can help with your control and valve components, contact Sheldon Precision today. Contact

The review of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) has recently been debated in the European Union (EU). Under discussion there was the extension of the current universal service definition to include broadband access, for which some theoretical and empirical support exists. In fact the determinants of information access, which are modified by market liberalization and technological developments, challenge the traditional definition of universal service and question whether there are new frontiers for the USO in the EU. This paper looks at the origins, the theoretical arguments for, and the empirical basis of the USO in the light of the ongoing debate in the EU, and links these arguments to technological development and changing demand conditions in European broadband markets. The authors predict the inclusion of a wider set of services based on Next Generation Access networks in the EU's new regulatory approach, although in November 2011 the European Union has denied this inclusion.

Does sports jargon exclude women and alienate international teams?
Using sports jargon or idioms in the workplace can exclude women and be cross-culturally alienating in international teams
There has already been some controversial debate about whether the typically male-led, sports banter culture in the office can lead to women feeling excluded in the workplace. As Chartered Management Institute head Ann Francke described, many women can 'feel left out' when male colleagues discuss the latest football, cricket or basketball games. It's also a 'gateway to' or 'signal of' more laddish, sexist, or even violent culture. But further to this, our sports-heavy culture means that sports jargon and sports-based idioms have pervaded deep into our daily language. Particularly in the workplace. These days it is common for us to hear sporting analogies at work; we can be blindsided, getting down to the wire or with the ball in our court. Not only can these terms be confusing and exclusionary for women who don't feel included in the traditionally male sporting culture, these terms can also be cross-culturally alienating in international teams.
They can also exclude or disadvantage anyone who is not interested in the world of sports.
sports jargon exclude women
Can sports jargon exclude women?
What kind of language are we talking about?
So to put this to the test and discover how deep sports jargon really goes, and does sports jargon exclude women. 3Plus's Dorothy Dalton reached out to her LinkedIn network for a professional opinion. We dug into the types of idioms and phrases that people commonly hear and use in the workplace without thinking and got some thought-provoking responses and comments.
Hit below the belt
The common phrase referring to something that is excessively hurtful, inappropriate or insulting, actually originates from boxing. This comes from a boxer unfairly striking their opponent below the waist in an illegal move that targets the legs or crotch. Career coach, Shelley Piedmont, highlighted it's particularly negative imagery. We agree that the gendered and violent picture it paints could be left out of the office, thanks.
Being blindsided refers to not seeing something coming or not anticipating an event. This derives from American Football and hitting a player on his 'blind-side' or the other side to which they are looking. It highlights the need for cultural sensitivity around an international team or non-American or sports-loving audience.

Having skin in the game
An interesting phrase, volunteered by Business Analysis Leader Christina Lovelock, as one to be bypassed is 'having skin in the game'. Often used in business to mean having a significant stake in business or project, it derives from the derby races, the owners of the horses literally having skin the game, and therefore the most to lose. Perhaps needlessly physical and aggressive tone for a business meeting?
On the back 9
Resume writer Virginia Franco, highlighted this golfing phrase as a typical way to express being almost finished with a task in the workplace. It refers to the second 9 holes of an 18-hole golf course. Virginia admitted using the phrase while not even playing golf herself. It goes to highlight how deep-rooted these phrases are while showing the confusion they may cause.
Beat around the bush
Business Analyst Martin Simmons reminded us of this common phrase used by many, meaning to stall or waste time. The origin of this one may surprise you, coming from hunting in medieval times where hired men would beat the areas around bushes to flush out game hiding in there.
Left Field
LinkedIn specialist Petra Fisher highlighted the phrase 'left field' as one that she may use without thinking. It expresses something that surprises you, the phrase comes from the US sport baseball when the ball is thrown to home base or first plate from the area covered by the left field. Petra went further to mention that not only sports phrases, but all culturally specific language, can cause misunderstandings and is therefore best to be avoided in the workplace.
Down to the wire
Down to the wire refers to a tense situation where the outcome is not known until very close to the end. It comes from the wire marking the end of a race in horse racing but is dropped regularly into business-speak. Not something on everyone's radar.
Calling an audible
Capacity building and KM Specialist Joe O'Connor admitted being confused by American-Football-specific phrase 'calling an audible' in a new job. Referring to the Quarterback making a last minute change to the play based on how he sees the defence lining up, highlights how many people will struggle to understand idioms like this.
An all-star in sports refers to a player of the highest calibre and is often translated to the workplace. It has even made its way to LinkedIn where you can upgrade to an all-star profile, but is this language universal and inclusive?
What about idioms from other cultures?
Ok, so we can see issues that arise from very culture-specific sporting language can exclude or confuse. But does the same apply to idioms in general from different countries? Every country has its own specific ways of saying things that will likely only serve to confuse non-native speakers. So, in an ever more global and international workplace, should we avoid using idioms altogether? Florence Ranson, Founder of REDComms in Brussels, who works with the majority of non-native English speakers, says she makes a point of not cracking jokes or using puns and idioms that people may not understand. Unfortunately not the case in all companies. Let's explore some examples of idioms from different countries.
sports jargon exclude women
To add your mustard (Deinen Senf dazugeben)
In Germany adding your mustard is the equivalent to adding your opinion or '2 cents' in English. This phrase was volunteered to 3Plus by International Talent Recruiter, Stella Leaburn, who on hearing it for the first time in a network meeting was worried she should have brought mustard to the meeting.
Have other cats to whip (J'ai d'autres chats à fouetter)
This interesting French idiom means you have something urgent to do, but has the literal meaning 'I have other cats to whip'. Along with the English equivalent of having other fish to fry, how can we expect non-native speakers to know if they are in an office or a pet shop?
Hang noodles on someone's ears (Вешать лапшу на уши /veshat' lapshu na ushi)
This Russian idiom meaning to fool someone may seem more like a surreal scene in a restaurant than office-appropriate banter for non-native Russian speakers.
So, should sports and local idioms stay separate to work?
The topic does spark some controversy. While some people view sports idioms as confusing or exclusionary, others claim that sports are just a part of culture. It can also be problematic in itself to suggest that women don't like, or can't join in with, sports language. Some women suggest their interest in sport played by men helps them fit into male coded environments. Others argue that international people enjoy learning new idioms and this is just a challenge they face working in a second language like any other. However while this may be true, what is undeniable is that most mainstream sports discussed in the workplace, usually refer to teams with almost exclusively male players.
Sports idioms are also often specific to sports played in one or a select few countries, and can delve into technical details that are not inclusive to all types of people. The analogies and idioms often bring in competitive, gendered or violent imagery and propagate a male-heavy environment. Also, if being interested in sports has nothing to do with the work you do, why should you be expected, or penalised for not understanding or engaging with it in the workplace? It is an environment where in every other aspect we are expected to be formal, professional and neutral.
We say why not just leave sports outside the office altogether?

Sexism and stereotypes starts at home
Sexism and gender stereotyping starts at home with us. I have been spending time with small children recently and have become very aware of all sorts of things in the type of influences that they are exposed to and can see how we embed stereotypes every day without thinking. It's in books, movies, and even clothes that I had completely forgotten about.

text: We demonstrate a novel motion correction of 3D magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) using spiral projection k-space trajectory. The motion was corrected using rigid motion parameters extracted from a whole-brain navigator obtained every 7s of imaging. Firstly, we optimized the trajectory ordering in simulation and selected the acquisition scheme that allowed the best navigator for motion correction. Secondly, we applied this scheme to invivo data in healthy subjects scanned first without motion and then while performing a motion paradigm. Our motion correction improved the correlation of motion-corrupted data with motionless data by over 20% for both T1 and T2.


Hooded Warbler Habitat Selection
January 1, 1993 by Gregory Gough
Male and female hooded warblers separate into different habitats in the non-breeding season. In the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico long-running studies revealed that males occupy forest habitat while females are in the treefall gaps, forest edges, and other adjacent shrubby habitats.
small yellow bird
The key difference between the male and female habitats is the orientation of the vegetation. Males like their plant stems to be up and down while the females prefer their stems to be at an angle.
So ingrained is this preference that laboratory studies of hand-raised hooded warblers revealed that strips of black crepe paper arranged vertically were preferred by males whereas oblique arrangements were preferred by females.
But what would happen if the vegetation structure changed? In 1988, Hurricane Gilbert slammed into the study area and snapped off many a tree top.
In areas that had previously been the provenance of males, and had suffered significant changes to the vertical structure of the forest, females moved in. In areas that were relatively untouched the males remained.

Caesalpiniaspinosa (Molina) Kuntze is an extensively used plant in the industry and folk medicine, and it is characterized by containing high quantities of tannins in its pods. Ultrastructure and chemical aspects of C.spinosa leaves were analyzed to identify their properties and the function of their specialized cells. Leaflets are amphistomatic with an internal bifacial structure. Subspherical idioblasts occur on the subepidermal area of leaflets and are immersed in the parenchymatous tissue of rachis and petiole. Histochemical analyses showed that tannins are widespread on the parenchymatous tissue of leaflets, rachis, and petioles, and subspherical idioblasts present a lipophilic nature containing essential oils and lipids. Glandular trichomes occurring on the rachis and petiole bear phenolic compounds. GC–MS analysis reveals the presence predominantly of monoterpenes in the leaf essential oil. The detected compounds may be related to the antimicrobialand antioxidant activity of C. spinosa extracts.

text: Edward Wright (1912–88) was an artist and designer. Born in Liverpool, where his father was Ecuadorian vice-consul (his mother was Chilean), he trained and worked briefly as an architect before concentrating on painting, drawing, print-making, and also 'commercial art' (as it was then still called). From 1942 through to his retirement he lived in London, with periods of work in book publishing and advertising, and teaching graphic design (very broadly conceived) – most notably at the Central School (his evening classes in typography, 1952–6, became legendary) and at Chelsea School of Art. Wright was among those who fostered the modern spirit in Britain, working alongside architects, and refusing any simple split between art and design. He was always much concerned with text and language. Among his exceptional work is the lettering that he made for modern buildings, often managing both a specific design and an alphabet that could be applied more generally. A short book of writings by and about him is available. Among other documentation of his work, see: here, an article in Baseline no. 52, and an appreciation in Unjustified texts.

Modern tunnels are planned with a functional service life of more than 100 years. They must be properly protected against the impact of groundwater. Therefore, there are high demands on the structure and on the waterproofing. Hence, it is very important to supply a perfectly compatible waterproofing system.
Complete system solution
From high-quality system components "Made in Germany", to the installation by a certified installation team, Naue offers the ideal, complete solution for tunnel waterproofing.
In principle, there are distinctions made in tunnel construction between a sealing against water pressure and against seepage water. For seeping water, a Carbofol® tunnel geomembrane that is 2 mm thick can be used as an umbrella seal. For occurring hydrostatic water, the use of an all-around sealing (360°) with a separation system is the required solution. This results in three different sealing systems.
Seepage water sealing system (SWA) "Drained tunnel"
The structure is protected against water by a Carbofol® tunnel geomembrane with an umbrella sealing system (Fig. 9). This system discharges the incoming seepage water without pressure over the longitudinal drainage at the foot of the structure. If the seepage water corresponds to class XA3 ("highly aggresive"), 360° single-layer geomembrane must be installed for corrosion protection reasons.
Hydrostatic pressure sealing system (DWA) "360° sealing with segmental waterstops"
When hydrostatic water pressure is present, it is recommended to use a water-impermeable concrete that is protected with a Carbofol® tunnel geomembrane (Fig. 10), especially if the classification of the seepage water corresponds to exposition class XA3 ("highly aggressive"). In order to limit potential damage and to confine the damaged area, the concrete segments are additionally sealed with external waterstops.
Hydrostatic pressure sealing system with integrated injection system (DWA-I) "360° sealing with segmental separation including injection devices for injection after hydrostatic pressure stress"
For hydrostatic pressures in excess of a 10 m water column, an integrated injection system for targeted repair options is planned (Fig. 11). The sealing system otherwise corresponds to the construction of the hydrostatic pressure system (DWA).
Bentofix® X types as sealing component
- Protection (e.g. the tunnel protection geotextile Secutex® R 1001-B2)
- Waterproofing (additional sealing barrier in the tunnel)
- Prevention of longitudinal water flow behind the tunnel membrane
Bentofix® X GCLs can be installed as strip-shaped, radially running elements or over the entire surface of the tunnel sealing system. The complete concreting of the tunnel inner shell is important for the basic functional reliability. Due to the sometimes large inner shell thicknesses and correspondingly high steel reinforcement, two options are recommended for achieving the required uniform surface pressure on the tunnel sealing system: either the use of self-compacting concrete or an additional concrete grouting (360°) after finalising the regular inner shell concreting. This grouting should be done at the earliest one month after concreting and before stopping the permanent lowering of water table.
Installation by a certified specialist
The professional and successful installation of tunnel waterproofing systems requires a high degree of professional competence and experience. Once installed, the waterproofing system needs to pass through a strict quality control procedure performed by a certified company. The Arbeitskreis Tunnelabdichtung e.V. (Association for Tunnel Waterproofing) offers appropriate quality control procedures and requirements for specialist tunnel waterproofing companies. Naue is a full member of this association and certified according to its high standards.


DRIPA 2014—what are the most noteworthy changes?
DRIPA 2014—what are the most noteworthy changes?
How far does the controversial new Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 go? Graham Smith , partner at Bird & Bird LLP and expert in internet law considers the new provisions and changes to the existing law.
What is the context of DRIPA 2014 and what does it seek to achieve?
The immediate spur for the legislation was the decision of the EU Court of Justice (CJEU) decision on 8 April 2014 in the Digital Rights Ireland case (Digital Rights Ireland Ltd v Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources C-293/12, [2014] All ER (D) 66 (Apr)), invalidating the EU Data Retention Directive 2006/24/EC (the Directive) on grounds of non-compliance with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and Liberties. The Directive was implemented in the UK by the Data Retention (EC Directive) Regulations 2009, SI 2009/859 (the Regulations). As secondary legislation under the European Communities Act 1972 those regulations were vulnerable to judicial review. The government decided to replace them with new primary legislation. It also took the opportunity to make amendments to RIPA 2000. It pushed both through Parliament as emergency legislation, going from first reading to Royal Assent in the space of four days. DRIPA 2014 is subject to a sunset clause, repealing it at the end of 2016.
How successful do you think DRIPA 2014 will be in achieving its aims?
The government has succeeded in obtaining new primary legislation. If the aim was to put an end to litigation challenges, that has not succeeded. Liberty has announced that MPs David Davis and Tom Watson will launch a judicial review challenging the data retention aspect of DRIPA 2014.
How effectively does DRIPA 2014 address the CJEU's specific grounds for invalidating the Directive?
The legislation does not purport to address fully every separate ground identified by the CJEU. Various documents issued by the government claim only to address the CJEU judgment 'where possible' and 'to the extent practicable', or to address 'elements' of the judgment. The impact assessment also acknowledges the 'risk of being perceived as ignoring the CJEU judgment'. To address every separate point in the CJEU judgment would have meant abandoning blanket mandatory data retention, which the government has stated that it will not do. There will no doubt be dispute about whether the objections listed in the CJEU judgment should be read to some extent cumulatively or as a list of self-standing separate objections, any one of which is sufficient to found non-compliance with the EU Charter.
Will there be any change in the current retention period requirements?
The fixed 12 months is replaced by a maximum 12 months. It is for the Secretary of State to consider necessity and proportionality and decide what periods of 12 months or less to specify in notices to operators.
What is the impact of DRIPA 2014 on the provisions in the RIPA 2000 dealing with interception warrants, interception capability and communications data access?
The supplemented definition of telecommunications services appears to be capable of being interpreted more broadly than the previous definition. It applies to RIPA 2000 generally. DRIPA 2014 also applies the supplemented RIPA 2000 definition to the data retention aspects, in substitution for the Communications Act 2003 definition previously used in the Regulations.
What impact will the provisions of DRIPA 2014 have on extra-territoriality under RIPA 2000 or other relevant legislation and how will this be applied in practice?
DRIPA 2014 makes three amendments—according to the government 'clarifications'—to the existing provisions concerning interception capability notices, interception warrants and communications data acquisition notices. These amendments are designed to ensure that non-UK providers are within the scope of these provisions.
The amendments state in terms that the notice or warrant may relate to conduct outside the UK. They state that the duty on a person to assist or comply with warrants or notices applies whether or not the person is in the UK. And, they provide three different schemes for serving warrants or notices within the UK on operators located outside the UK, graduated according to (presumably) the perceived intrusiveness of the warrant or notice. They also provide that, when considering under RIPA the reasonable practicability of a person outside the UK taking steps in a country outside the UK to give effect to a warrant, regard is to be had to any relevant requirements or restrictions under the law of that country and the extent to which it is reasonably practicable to give effect to the warrant without breaching them. DRIPA 2014 provides no specific mechanism for giving data retention notices (as opposed to interception capability notices, interception warrants and communications data acquisition notices) to operators located outside the UK.
Was the whole process sufficiently transparent?
The use of the emergency procedure was widely criticised, since the CJEU decision had been issued at the beginning of April and the circumstances that lent urgency to the RIPA 2000 amendments were opaque. The compressed timetable let to various supporting materials becoming available only at the last minute or during the expedited passage of the Bill.
Does DRIPA 2014 go further than just restating the law?
This is a contentious area. A number of UK academics certainly think that it does—see the open letter signed by 15 academics which describes the government's position that DRIP does not contain new powers as 'false' (_URL_

Temperature and density structure of a recurring active region jet

Mulay, S. M., Del Zanna, G., & Mason, H. (2016). Temperature and density structure of a recurring active region jet. Astronomy & Astrophysics _URL_
Aims. We present a study of a recurring jet observed on October 31, 2011 by the Atmosphereic Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamic Observatory, the X-ray Telescope (XRT) and EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on board Hinode. We discuss the physical parameters of the jet that are obtained using imaging and spectroscopic observations, such as density, differential emission measure, peak temperature, velocity, and filling factor. Methods. A differential emission measure (DEM) analysis was performed at the region of the jet spire and the footpoint using EIS observations and also by combining AIA and XRT observations. The resulting EIS DEM curves were compared to those obtained with AIA-XRT. The DEM curves were used to create synthetic spectra with the CHIANTI atomic database. The predicted total count rates for each AIA channel were compared with the observed count rates. The effects of varying elemental abundances and the temperature range for the DEM inversion were investigated. Spectroscopic diagnostics were used to obtain an electron number density distribution for the jet spire and the jet footpoint. Results. The plasma along the line of sight in the jet spire and jet footpoint was found to be peak at 2.0 MK (log T [K] = 6.3). We calculated electron densities using the Fe XII (λ186/λ195) line ratio in the region of the spire (Nₑ= 7.6×10¹⁰ cm⁻³) and the footpoint (1.1×10¹¹ cm⁻³). The plane-of-sky velocity of the jet is found to be 524 km/s. The resulting EIS DEM values are in good agreement with those obtained from AIA-XRT. The synthetic spectra contributing to each AIA channel confirms the multi-thermal nature of the AIA channels in both regions. There is no indication of high temperatures, such as emission from Fe XVII (λ254.87) (log T [K] = 6.75) seen in the jet spire. In the case of the jet footpoint, synthetic spectra predict weak contributions from Ca XVII (λ192.85) and Fe XVII (λ254.87). With further investigation, we confirmed emission from the Fe XVIII (93.932 Å) line in the AIA 94 Å channel in the region of the footpoint. We also found good agreement between the estimated and predicted Fe XVIII count rates. A study of the temporal evolution of the jet footpoint and the presence of high-temperature emission from the Fe XVIII (λ93.932) (log T [K] = 6.85) line leads us to conclude that the hot component in the jet footpoint was present initially and that the jet had cooled down by the time EIS observed it.

Cairns to the Cape
We are excited to be partnering with Churches of Christ for our Cairns to the Cape Christmas Appeal! Help us bring joy to children, young people, foster and kinship carers across Cape York this Christmas.
What is Cairns to the Cape?
The Churches of Christ Children, Youth and Families division is based in Cairns and serves all foster children and families in Aurukun, Pormpuraaw, Kowanyama, Weipa, Napranum, Mapoon and Lockhart River. Children belong in safe and caring homes, but families are complicated and some face significant challenges that mean it's not safe for children and young people to remain at home. Even while children cannot stay at home, Churches of Christ support them to build positive, healthy relationships with their family through the committed support of foster and kinship carers.
It is thanks to these dedicated individuals and families that children and young people are able to grow and find belonging in their community. Our church is going to bless and encourage them by sending a Christmas gift hamper for each foster family!
How do I participate?
It's super simple:
- Choose a foster family from the list (or decide to buy a few items or make an optional financial donation to contribute to a hamper)
- Use the shopping list we provide to go shopping for hamper items!
- Return the gifts by Sunday 30th October
What should I buy?
We want to fill these hampers to help foster families celebrate, enjoy a shared meal and bring their family together at Christmas. Food is quite difficult to get in remote communities at the moment, so this hamper will be a big blessing.
In addition to what you buy for your hamper, we are going to buy and refrigerate a small ham for each family. Additional financial donations to Cairns to the Cape will cover this cost.
Please buy at least one thing from each list below, and feel free to buy additional items from the lists to fill the hamper. Please don't buy any items that are too big, or in quantities that prevent the lid from staying closed (the hampers are 22cm x 35cm x 29cm).
#1 An item of special Christmas food
- Tinned Christmas fruit e.g. cherries/plums
- Christmas cake & UHT Custard
- Tinned wafer biscuits/sticks
- Tinned meat or soup
#2 An item for a family snack
- Dried fruit
- Tea or coffee
#3 A game for the family to play together
- Card game
- Small board game
#4 A small gift for each child/teenager in the family
- Be mindful of the age and gender of the person you are buying for.
- For children: Book, toy, sport, hobby item, craft kit, hat, puzzle, hairbrush/comb/hair ties (gift set), bath or body lotion (gift set).
- For teenagers: headphones, speaker, comic book, jewellery, fishing item, hairbrush/comb/hair ties (gift set), bath or body lotion (gift set).
#5 Something special to celebrate Christmas
- Christmas crackers (bon bons) or decorations
- A hand-written Christmas greeting card
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there anything I am not allowed to buy?
Please do not include aerosol cans, medicine, vitamins, used clothes, anything easily breakable or food that melts easily or will perish in the next 6 months. You can wrap gifts with clear cellophane, but don't fully seal the wrapping as each item needs to be checked by staff before delivery.
Can I put in bibles, scriptures, or items about Jesus?
We want to respect and honour the reality that some Aboriginal communities may still suffer effects of historical harm by churches. Our goal is not to evangelise, but to show a simple expression of love and generosity – the recipients will know the gifts come from a church community who cares.
Will the recipients know who bought the gifts for them?
Churches of Christ workers will personally deliver the hamper you have filled to each family and explain where the gifts are from. If you include a hand-written Christmas greeting card please only include your first names (e.g. from Nick and Sarah). For any hampers made up of contributions from a number of people, we'll include a greeting card with the first names of those people.
How can I make a financial donation to cover the cost of the hams?
You can give towards this project by credit card on our website (select "Cairns to the Cape donation") or at the Info Desk on Sundays, or by placing cash in a marked envelope in a Giving Box on Sundays.
I have more questions or need help.
Contact us and we will get back to you asap.

Macau is well known as a gaming city in Asia and even in the world, where the environmental protection is always a focus for the governmental administration and public concern. In the meantime, the subject of urban environment and city development is also a sustaining research interest for the academic society of Macau and it is also a hot topic for collaborative researches of Macau scholars and the scholars from Beijing and Guangzhou and Hong Kong as well as the Pearl River delta region. For this reason, Macau Environmental Research Institute (MERI) is established in September, 2015, and is becoming the key research institute in Macau University of Science and Technology.

Gravity Irrigation with Pump and Flow Control [Success Story]
Counter Nodes with flow meters are used to monitor the water flowing to orchards to allow for precise water metering and accurate billing for water use. For installations without access to wired power, a solar panel or battery pack may be used to power the FlexPower Nodes and sensors.
The Gateway, or wireless network controller, monitors the water level inside the water tank. When the water level drops, a Node installed with the reservoir pumps uses its outputs to cycle the pumps on or off. A series of Nodes monitors the amount of water flowing into each orchard. A 1 Watt Data Radio connected to the Gateway transmits the data to a mobile asset or a centralized control center for data processing and billing.
Because of the difficult terrain, using Data Radios allowed us to reliably transmit data over great distances and around obstacles. SureCross FlexPower devices using efficient power management technology allow users to choose from solar, battery, or dc power without compromising the performance or response time of the network.

Year 4 Roman Villa Visit
As part of our ongoing Roman topic, Year 4 had a fascinating day out exploring the Roman villa at Lulllingstone. We started off our explorations by first of all looking at the ancient site and comparing it with what we see around us in London. We encouraged the children to think about why the Romans might have built a settlement at Lullingstone. We agreed that the nearby river would have helped the Romans with their transport needs.
After lunch in the Roman village, Year 4 then played a game of Roman invaders. Some unlucky Year 4 Celts fell victim to the Michael Faraday Roman Empire!
We have been continuing this work back in the classroom, examining various Roman artefacts and looking at traditional Roman costumes. The children have also been designing their own Roman mosaics.

Dr. A. F. Newcomb
The development of the Child and Adolescent Coping Inventory (Cobb, Gwanter, & Newcomb, 1987) is described and reliability and validity statistics are reported. The inventory consists of a parent form and a child form. The parent form contains 91 descriptions of children's behaviors when faced with difficulties. The child form is in interview format and asks children to describe seven positive and negative events and their reactions to them.The Inventory in both forms is capable of obtaining both observable and subjective reactions of children to stress. Reliability and validity is stronger for the child form. Suggestions are made for possible modifications to the Inventory.

I. Freedom through Faith and Knowledge
The Black church and other faith assemblies have been at the core of the freedom movement since the mid 1800′s. Church provided opportunities to gather, and congregations throughout Orange County, black and white, have inspired and perpetuated the freedom movement. Schools for African-American children, often connected with churches, also were part of the freedom movement, beginning in the late 1800′s, in the midst of a segregated society. In 1968, Orange County schools became fully integrated.

An Overview of Spiritually Oriented Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Year: 2017 Vol: 2 Number: 1
While spirituality/religion has a healing effect for some individuals, for others it may have the opposite effect of enhancing psychological symptoms. For this reason, efforts are being made to address spirituality as a therapeutic or accelerating factor and reduce the potential negative effects of spirituality in the therapy process. The effectiveness of these applications is investigated in various studies. A comprehensive literature is being formed out of the studies conducted worldwide. Newly started studies in Turkey and similar countries are promising, but there are few coherent examples of how to address spirituality in therapy. In this article, the techniques and applications used in spiritually oriented cognitive behavioral therapy have been compiled and therapeutic applications are proposed. Ethical practices and applications specific to Muslim clients are also discussed.

Images are taken at 12:04 PM (JST) above the Arctic. The satellite onboard cameras automatically took pictures at the scheduled time which was set on ahead. Coburg Island, Canada, other islands and ice field are seen in the pictures.
[Please credit "UNIFORM" when you use any image on the website. Please do not process any image without permission]
Welcome to UNIFORM Project
UNIFORM is developing a wildfire monitoring system with micro satellite constellation. The advantages of using micro satellites over, say, traditional huge satellite are that it is low-cost, quick to adopt the latest technology, short development time, little lower spec but still durable quality, perfect for education. Amongst of all, the most characteristic aspect is that it can achieve high-time resolution inexpensively. Also, a new type of strategy to achieve the system is possible, i.e. several countries can collaborate together and make their own satellites and put them into constellation.
UNIFORM project consists of three segments: 'Flight segment', 'Ground station segment' and 'User segment', each of which we eagerly look for international collaborators.
As for the details, please contact us.
Our goal is the development of wildfire detection system using microsatellite constellation through international collaboration.
For high time-resolution observation with LEO satellite it is necessary to operate multiple satellites.
Enhanced Ground Systems
For effective earth observation system, consisting ground systems must be designed to be integrated over network.
For a system to be practical it is necessary to associate it with sustainable financial architecture. Constraints accompanied with microsatellite must be taken into account.

A pipeline is a pre-configured workflow that can be used by all users in a workspace. It is composed of a workflow repository, launch parameters, and a compute environment.
The Launchpad contains the collection of available pipelines that can be run in a workspace. From here, you can view and select pre-configured pipelines for launch.
The Runs view is used to monitor and inspect the details of workflow executions in a workspace.
A compute environment is the platform where workflows are executed. It is composed of the credentials, configuration settings, and storage options configured for that platform.
Credentials are access keys stored by Tower in an encrypted format, using AES-256 encryption. They allow the safe storage of authentication keys for compute environments, private code repositories, and external services.
Datasets are collections of versioned, structured data, usually in TSV (tab-separated values) and CSV (comma-separated values) formats. They are used to manage sample sheets and metadata, to be validated and used as inputs for workflow executions.
Actions are used to automate the execution of pre-configured workflows (pipelines), based on event triggers such as code commits and webhooks.
Pipeline secrets are keys used by workflow tasks to interact with external systems, such as a password to connect to an external database or an API token. They are stored in Tower using AES-256 encryption.
There are two types of pipeline secrets:
Pipeline secrets defined in a workspace are available to the workflows launched within that workspace.
Pipeline secrets defined by a user are available to the workflows launched by that user in any workspace.
A workspace provides the context in which a user operates, including what resources are available and who can access them. It is composed of pipelines, compute environments, credentials, runs, actions, and datasets. Access permissions are controlled through participants, collaborators, and teams.
An organization is the top-level entity where businesses, institutions, and groups can collaborate. It can contain multiple workspaces.
A member is a user who is internal to the organization. Members have an organization role and can operate in one or more organization workspaces. In each workspace, members can have a participant role that defines the permissions granted to them within that workspace.
A team is a group of members in the same organization. Teams can operate in one or more organization workspaces with a specific workspace role (one role per workspace).
A user operating with an assigned role within a workspace.
The participant role defines the permissions granted to a user to perform actions or tasks within a workspace.

How to Grow Grasses on the Prairie
Ask This Old House landscape designer Jenn Nawada partners with an ecologist in Cheyenne, Wyoming to learn about different types of prairie grasses and how to care for them
Steps for growing prairie grasses
 1. Identify areas that have grasses that are invasive or non-native that are harmful to the area. Some non-natives, like alfalfa, are not harmful. Grasses like cheat grass, which is short and flat with red tips, are harmful to the environment and can cause massive wildfires.
 2. To eliminate invasive or non-native grasses, spray a selective herbicide. Wait a few weeks for the invasives to die off, and then introduce native grasses.
 3. To plant native grasses, rent a seeder and fill it with a seed mix of native grasses. Drive the seeder around a select area close to the property that will make it easier to maintain. The seeder will drill a groove in the ground, drop some seeds in the ground, and then drag the soil over the grooves to keep the seeds from blowing away.
 4. To irrigate the grass, install a snow fence to slow the wind and keep the snow on top of the grass. Identify the direction of the prevailing winds to determine where to install the fence.
 5. To install the fence, hammer the livestock fence posts into the ground and secure the livestock fencing to the posts, using ties that come with the fencing.
 6. Using zip ties, secure the snow fencing to the livestock fencing.
 7. Once the new grass is established, don't mow it. Allow the grass to grow naturally.
Jenn learned that the local conservation district can rent many of the tools required for treating or planting a yard with prairie grasses. Some of these tools can be rented from home centers, as well.
Expert assistance with this segment was provided by the Laramie County Conservation District, the University of Wyoming Extension, Nawada Landscape Design, and Wanda Manley.


Miscibility
views updated
Miscibility
Miscibility means how completely two or more liquids dissolve in each other. It is a qualitative rather than a quantitative observationsuch as, miscible, partially miscible, or not miscible. (To state exactly how miscible two liquids were, a scientist would use the larger concept of solubility, usually in a specific weight or volume per liter of solution.) Two completely miscible liquids will form a homogeneous (uniform) solution in any amount. Water and ethyl alcohol, for example, are completely miscible whether the solution is 1% water and 99% ethyl alcohol, 50% of both, or 1% ethyl alcohol and 99% water. When first mixed, miscible liquids often show oily bands called striationsin the bulk of the solution; these disappear when mixing is complete.
Like any other solubility phenomenon, miscibility depends on the forces of attraction between the molecules of the different liquids. The rule of thumb like dissolves like means that liquids with similar molecular structures, in particular similar polarity, will likely dissolve in each other. (Polarity means the extent to which partial positive and negative charges appear on a molecule, because of the type and arrangement of its component atoms.) Both water and ethyl alcohol have very polar hydroxyl groups (-OH) on their molecules, and therefore both undergo the strong intermolecular attraction known as hydrogen bonding. Hexane, on the other hand, is not miscible with water because its molecular structure contains no polar groups of any kind that would be attracted to the water molecules.
There are several fundamental rules governing the miscibility of liquids in other liquids. First, the solubility of liquids in liquids increases with increasing temperature. Second, the more similar two compounds are in terms of polarity, the more likely that one is soluble in the other; i.e., polar compounds dissolve in polar compounds, and non-polar compounds dissolve in non-polar compounds. (Polar molecules dissolve in polar molecules because the dipole of one attracts the dipole end of the other.) Thus, benzene and carbon tetrachloride, being both non-polar, dissolve in each other, but neither will appreciably dissolve in water, which is polar.
Both alcohols and ethers with up to three or four carbons are miscible in water because the OH groups in these molecules form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules. Alcohols and ethers with higher molecular weights are not miscible in water, however, because the water molecules cannot surround those molecules. The molecule 1-heptanol, for example, consists of an alkyl chain of seven carbons and an OH group. The OH group forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, but the alkyl portion of the molecule exerts no attraction on the water molecules. This part of the molecule is called hydrophobic, meaning water-hating. Because this part of the molecule cannot be surrounded by water, 1-heptanol is immiscible in water.
In aqueous solutions, globular proteins usually turn their polar groups outward toward the aqueous solvent, and their non-polar groups inward, away from the polar molecules. The non-polar groups prefer to interact with each other, and exclude water from these regions, leading to immiscibility. This type of interaction is usually weaker than hydrogen bonding, and usually acts over large surface areas.
Many gases are miscible with liquids. The miscibility of gases in liquids usually decreases with increasing temperature, and increases with increasing pressure. For example, more oxygen is dissolved in the blood at higher than normal pressures.

The Seleucid was a Greek gladiator who fought in the Arena in Cyrene. He typically fought armed with a glaive.
In 47 BCE, he was challenged by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa, who witnessed him throwing a sword at one of the spectators in the arena. Bayek later defeated the gladiator with a spear and shield.
- The name Seleucid is a reference to the Seleucid Empire, possibly hinting that the gladiator originated from the state.
- It can be assumed the Seleucid's real name is "Antiogos" because of one of the commentator's lines before the fight: "Time has come for Antiogos, dragon of the Seleucid Empire!"

Newswise — Families with a child completing elementary school this year are now preparing their registration for high school, a transition that is often stressful for children. A new program has demonstrated that it is possible to significantly reduce stress in some of these children thanks to a new educational tool designed under the leadership of Sonia Lupien, Director of the Centre for Studies on Human Stress (CSHS) and professor at the University of Montreal.
A study published in February in Neuroscience confirms the benefits of the DeStress for Success Program among youth completing their first year of high school. "In 2000, our team showed that during the transition from elementary to secondary school, many young people produce high levels of stress hormones. Following this discovery, we wanted to test whether an educational program based on our current knowledge of stress would decrease the level of stress hormones and depressive symptoms in teenagers and help facilitate this transition," said Sonia Lupien, lead author of the study.
The DeStress for Success Program was presented to 504 students aged 11 to 13 years from two private schools in the Montreal area. Students from one school were exposed to the program, while those of the other school served as the control group. Before starting the project, cortisol levels (the stress hormone) in saliva and depressive symptoms were measured to determine whether adolescents beginning secondary school with specific depressive symptoms responded differently to the program. Markers were also measured during and after the program as well as three months following participation in the project to validate whether improvement was maintained.
The study showed that adolescents starting secondary school with high levels of anger had, through the program, significantly lowered levels of stress hormones. These adolescents were in fact 2.45 times less likely to suffer from depression compared to the other adolescents. "This study provides the first evidence that a stress education program is effective in reducing stress hormone levels and depressive symptoms among adolescents making the transition to high school," says Pierrich Plusquellec, co-author of the study. The program also helped identify a certain profile of adolescent responding more to the educational tool.
More than a hundred professionals from all regions of Québec have been trained in the DeStress for Success Program. In addition, the program has been adapted to the clientele of the Centre Jeunesse de Montréal – Institut Universitaire. This adaptation has recently won a prestigious award from the Child Welfare League of Canada.

Last year the Perth Amboy City Council voted 3-2 to remove the additive fluoride from city drinking water. Action was finally taken in June 2022 with DEP approval to remove the fluoride from Perth Amboy drinking water by the Perth Amboy Water Department. Councilwoman Tejada, Councilman Petrick and Councilman Torres voted to remove the fluoride from public drinking water after review of public health and environmental evidence that the ingestion of fluoride had known harmful health consequences. Many residents had been using filters to take the fluoride out of the drinking water. Environmental and health groups provide evidence that there are harmful health consequences to drinking fluoride water. For children the daily dose of fluoride is exceeded daily by using toothpaste.
Only 15% of NJ towns have fluoride in their water.
Research funded by the US National Institutes of Health shows IQ level is negatively impacted by fluoride level in drinking water.
Because of its toxicity, the EPA and NJ DEP have set maximum contaminant level in fluoride drinking water.

# save the rendered image to a file
pygame.image.save(screen, 'lineimage.png')
# display the result for 10 seconds
pygame.time.wait(10000)
Try adding an extra argument to optionally disable writing to the log file.
This will improve rendering time. Hint: as well as the argument you will
need to add two if statements as the log is written to in two different
places within the code.
Some other ideas for command line arguments:
- let the user choose the filename for the output image
- specify the background and line colours from a list of defaults
(black, white,red, green, blue)
- enter a demo mode that loops the code, rendering many shapes in
random colours

Feedback & Question Time
Q: Regarding the Skutter series,
you mention a robot arm can be
mounted. Could you please
specify which robot arm and
where I can get it?

A: Skutter is a longterm series,
with the first article published in
issue 1 of The MagPi. This
contains
some
background
information: "The robotic arm kit
called the OWI Edge is currently
available from Maplin electronics

Thank you for making a printed
edition of The MagPi available
from _URL_. I
always print out each issue
because I prefer to read from
paper rather than online. Imagine
my surprise to discover that the
cost is only 2.49. It almost costs
that much for me to print out 32
colour pages myself!
Ian
Q: Is it going to be possible to
view the mag on an iPad in the
near future or am I missing the
point?
John
Q: As a new user of the
Raspberry Pi I'm very interested in
your excellent magazine. I have
had no difficulty reading your
Issues 1 to 6 on my desktop
computer that uses Linux Mint 13.
Imagine my disappointment when
I found that, of the six issues, I
can only open Issue 3 on my
Raspberry Pi. Not being familiar
with the MuPDF program that
Raspbian uses, I thought I'd better
check by installing and testing
MuPDF on my Linux Mint
machine. The result is that every
MagPi issue opens without a
problem using MuPDF on my
Linux machine. This is possibly
not your technical problem but I
thought you would want to know
that a significant and growing
number of Raspberry Pi owners
cannot read your magazine.
Lloyd
A: This problem extends to many
other PDF files. MuPDF seems to
work fine for some users but not
others. Personally I have removed
MuPDF and use xPDF instead,
which works with everything. You
can do this with the following
commands:
A: The Issuu site we use has
recently started to support
HTML5, so it should now work on
iPads and iPhones etc. You can
also download the PDF and view it
within iBooks. We are currently
working with a developer
regarding a Newsstand app.
$ sudo apt-get remove MuPDF
$ sudo apt-get install xPDF

In a new post to his blog Matthew Weier O'Phinney looks at creating reusable plugins for the Zend_Application component of the Zend Framework. This is a follow-up from his previous article introducing Zend_Application.
What happens when you need a re-usable resource for which there is no existing plugin shipped? Why, write your own, of course! All plugins in Zend Framework follow a common pattern. Basically, you group plugins under a common directory, with a common class prefix, and then notify the pluggable class of their location.
His example shows a plugin that can set the doctype of the view you're using and set the default page title and the separator. He mentions things like the framework's coding/naming standards, dependency tracking, setting up the configuration and, finally, doing the two actions laid out at the start. A few simple lines added to the application.ini file and you're all set to start using the new plugin.
