Unleashing the Power of Rock Demolition in Hawaii
When it comes to construction projects in Hawaii, one of the most crucial aspects is rock demolition. The volcanic nature of the Hawaiian islands means that rock is a common obstacle that needs to be overcome in order to build anything from roads and bridges to homes and commercial buildings. If you're embarking on a construction project in Hawaii, understanding the importance of rock demolition and how it can benefit your project is key.
Rock demolition in Hawaii is not just about breaking rocks into smaller pieces. It involves a strategic approach to safely and efficiently remove large rock formations that may be in the way of your construction plans. Whether you're dealing with solid lava rock, basalt, or other volcanic formations, the process of rock demolition requires specialized equipment and expertise to get the job done right.
One of the main benefits of rock demolition in Hawaii is that it allows you to clear the way for your construction project without causing unnecessary damage to the environment. By carefully planning and executing rock demolition, you can minimize disruption to the surrounding landscape and ensure that the natural beauty of Hawaii is preserved.
In addition to protecting the environment, rock demolition in Hawaii can also help save you time and money on your construction project. By removing large rock formations efficiently, you can streamline the construction process and avoid costly delays. This is especially important in Hawaii, where construction costs can be higher due to the remote location and unique geological challenges.
When it comes to rock demolition in Hawaii, there are several methods that can be used depending on the size and type of rock formations you're dealing with. One common method is hydraulic rock splitting, which uses hydraulic power to break rocks into smaller pieces without the need for explosives. This method is ideal for smaller rocks and tight spaces where traditional demolition techniques may not be suitable.
For larger rock formations, controlled blasting may be necessary. This method involves strategically placing explosives in the rock and detonating them in a way that minimizes damage to the surrounding area. Controlled blasting requires careful planning and coordination to ensure the safety of everyone involved, as well as the success of the demolition.
No matter which method is used, rock demolition in Hawaii requires the expertise of skilled professionals who understand the unique challenges of working with volcanic rock formations. By hiring a reputable rock demolition company in Hawaii, you can ensure that your project is completed safely and efficiently, with minimal impact on the environment.
In addition to traditional rock demolition methods, there are also innovative techniques that can be used to break up rock formations in Hawaii. One such method is rock fracturing, which uses specialized equipment to create fractures in the rock that can then be easily broken apart. This technique is ideal for large rock formations that are too difficult to remove with traditional methods.
Another cutting-edge method is rock sawing, which uses diamond-tipped blades to cut through rock formations with precision and accuracy. This method is ideal for creating clean cuts in rock for construction purposes, such as laying foundations or building retaining walls. Rock sawing is also less disruptive than traditional demolition techniques, making it a popular choice for projects in Hawaii.
In conclusion, rock demolition in Hawaii is a crucial step in any construction project that involves working with volcanic rock formations. By understanding the importance of rock demolition and how it can benefit your project, you can ensure that your construction plans are carried out safely, efficiently, and in harmony with the natural environment. Whether you're building a new home, a commercial building, or a road in Hawaii, rock demolition is a key process that will help you achieve your construction goals.

1000 Leavenworth's Tickseed flower Seeds
This lovely wildflower has been named for Melines Conkling Leavenworth (_PHONE_), a botanist who collected this specimen from his native Florida as well as many others throughout the southeastern United States. Its common name of "tickseed" comes from the resemblance of the seeds to that particular bug. Hardiness and love of dry soil make the flowers in this family especially valuable to citizens of the state of Florida, who appointed Coreopsis as their official state wildflower in 1991.
Direct sow in late fall, planting the seed just below the surface of the soil; these seeds need light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 30 days before direct sowing. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-15 days. The treated seeds can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; plant the seeds on the surface of a flat, keeping the moisture consistent and the temperature around 65 degrees F. Transplant seedlings.
These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use. The artwork and labels on the packet are loaded with information - many people comment that it is the most beautiful packet that they have ever seen. If you have never tried out our seeds before, this is your chance to experience something special!

Preparing Soluble Salts
- A soluble salt can be made from the reaction of an acid with an insoluble base.
- During the preparation of soluble salts, the insoluble reactant is added in excess to ensure that all of the acid has reacted.
- If this step is not completed, any unreacted acid would become dangerously concentrated during evaporation and crystallisation.
- The excess reactant is then removed by filtration to ensure that only the salt and water remain.
- Since all of the acid has reacted and the excess solid base has been removed then the solution left can only be salt and water.
- If a carbonate was used as the solid base instead of an oxide or hydroxide, then any carbon dioxide gas produced would have been released into the atmosphere.
- A common example is the preparation of copper(II) sulfate which can be made with copper(II) oxide and dilute sulfuric acid:
CuO(s) + H2SO4(aq) ⟶ CuSO4(s) + H2O(l)
- The acid could also be reacted with a metal to produce the salt.
Required Practical 1: Preparation of a Soluble Salt using an Insoluble Base
To prepare a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt from an insoluble oxide or carbonate using a Bunsen burner and dilute acid.
A salt can be prepared and separated by acid-base neutralisation reaction.
- 1.0 mol/dm3 dilute sulfuric acid
- Copper (II) oxide powder
- Spatula & glass rod
- Measuring cylinder & 100cm3 beaker
- Bunsen burner
- Tripod, gauze & heatproof mat
- Filter funnel & paper, conical flask
- Evaporating basin and dish.
Diagram of the apparatus needed
The base is added in excess to use up all of the acid, which would become dangerously concentrated during the evaporation and crystallisation stages.
- Add 50cm3 dilute acid into a beaker and heat using a Bunsen burner flame.
- Add the insoluble oxide slowly to the hot dilute acid and stir until the base is in excess (i.e. until the base stops disappearing and a suspension of the base
- forms in the acid).
- Filter the mixture into an evaporating basin to remove the excess base.
- Gently heat the solution in a water bath or with an electric heater to evaporate water and to make the solution saturated.
- Check the solution is saturated by dipping a cold glass rod into the solution and seeing if crystals form on the end.
- Leave the filtrate in a warm place to dry and crystallise.
- Decant excess solution and allow the crystals to dry.
Hydrated copper(II) sulfate crystals should be bright blue and regularly shaped.
Describe how your crystals compare to the description in the results section. If different suggest an explanation.
Conclusion: Acid-base reactions produce salt and water with the regular shape of the salt reflecting the ionic lattice structure in its bonding.

How Many Calories Are In My Wine?
For a dry wine, the calorie calculation is relatively simple. Multiply the % Alcohol in the wine times the number of Ounces in the glass times 1.6. Here is the formula:
 % ABV x _TAG_ x 1.6 = Calories from alcohol
(ex., 6 oz of 13% ABV wine -- 13 x 6 x 1.6 = 125 calories)
Many folks consider themselves "math challenged," but almost everybody has a cell phone these days. And, those cell phones have a calculator. How hard is it to punch in 13 x 6 x 1.6? Surely you can do it.
Sugar contains about 114 calories per ounce (4 cal/gram). One sugar cube, about 0.1 oz, contains 9-10 calories. One teaspoon of sugar contains about 16 calories. A typical 12 oz can of Coca-Cola contains 1.55 oz of sugar (44 g) that deliver 176 calories. To determine the sugar calories in your glass of sweet wine, you need to know three things - number of Ounces, % ABV and percentage residual sugar (RS) in the wine. Here's the formula.
 _TAG_ x % RS x 1.14 = Calories from sugar
(ex., 6 oz of 2% RS wine -- 6 x 2 x 1.14 = 13.7 calories)
Now add in the calories from alcohol
 % ABV x _TAG_ x 1.6 = Calories from alcohol
Total calories then equal 13.7 from sugar + 125 from alcohol = 139 calories
Wines with higher RS, such as a typical white Zinfandel or a Port-style wine, have more calories from sugar to add to the calories from alcohol. Here are two examples.
 White Zin – typical 6% RS x 6 oz x 1.14 = 41 calories from sugar
 Determine calories from alcohol 13% ABV x 6 oz x 1.6 = 125 calories
 Add 41 cal + 125 cal, and that 6 oz glass of White Zin contains about 166 calories
Port – typical 10% RS x 4 oz x 1.14 = 46 calories from sugar
Determine calories from alcohol 20% ABV x 4 oz x 1.6 = 128 calories
Add 46 cal + 128 cal, and that 4 oz glass of Port contains about 174 calories
A direct comparison shows that ethyl alcohol has more calories per oz than sugar.
 Alcohol = 160 cal per oz (5.6 per gram) vs. Sugar = 114 cal per oz (4.0 per gram)
So, the next time your friend asks "Does drinking this glass of wine make me look fat?," whip out your cell phone calculator, do some quick math and deftly sidestep a direct answer to that question by showing your friend how many calories are in that glass of wine.
Calories in typical 6 oz tastings at 4.0 Cellars are:
Dry Wines - White or Red = 130-140 cal Sweet Wines = 160 cal

TextValidationBehavior
The TextValidationBehavior is a Behavior that allows the user to validate a given text depending on specified parameters. By adding this behavior to any InputView control it can be styled differently depending on whether a valid or an invalid text value is provided. It offers various built-in checks such as checking for a certain length or whether or not the input value matches a specific regular expression.
Important
The .NET MAUI Community Toolkit Behaviors do not set the BindingContext of a behavior, because behaviors can be shared and applied to multiple controls through styles. For more information refer to .NET MAUI Behaviors
Syntax
The following examples show how to add the TextValidationBehavior to an Entry and change the TextColor based on whether the entered text is between 1 and 10 characters long.
XAML
Including the XAML namespace
In order to use the toolkit in XAML the following xmlns needs to be added into your page or view:
xmlns:toolkit="_URL_
Therefore the following:
<ContentPage
 x:Class="CommunityToolkit.Maui.Sample.Pages.MyPage"
 xmlns="_URL_
 xmlns:x="_URL_
</ContentPage>
Would be modified to include the xmlns as follows:
<ContentPage
 x:Class="CommunityToolkit.Maui.Sample.Pages.MyPage"
 xmlns="_URL_
 xmlns:x="_URL_
 xmlns:toolkit="_URL_
</ContentPage>
Using the TextValidationBehavior
The TextValidationBehavior can be used as follows in XAML:
<ContentPage xmlns="_URL_
 xmlns:x="_URL_
 xmlns:toolkit="_URL_
 x:Class="CommunityToolkit.Maui.Sample.Pages.Behaviors.TextValidationBehaviorPage">
 <ContentPage.Resources>
 <Style x:Key="InvalidEntryStyle" TargetType="Entry">
 <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Red" />
 </Style>
 <Style x:Key="ValidEntryStyle" TargetType="Entry">
 <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Green" />
 </Style>
 </ContentPage.Resources>
 <Entry>
 <Entry.Behaviors>
 <toolkit:TextValidationBehavior
 InvalidStyle="{StaticResource InvalidEntryStyle}"
 ValidStyle="{StaticResource ValidEntryStyle}"
 Flags="ValidateOnValueChanged"
 MinimumLength="1"
 MaximumLength="10" />
 </Entry.Behaviors>
 </Entry>
</ContentPage>
C#
The TextValidationBehavior can be used as follows in C#:
class TextValidationBehaviorPage : ContentPage
{
 public TextValidationBehaviorPage()
 {
 var entry = new Entry();
 var validStyle = new Style(typeof(Entry));
 validStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter
 {
 Property = Entry.TextColorProperty,
 Value = Colors.Green
 });
 var invalidStyle = new Style(typeof(Entry));
 invalidStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter
 {
 Property = Entry.TextColorProperty,
 Value = Colors.Red
 });
 var textValidationBehavior = new TextValidationBehavior
 {
 InvalidStyle = invalidStyle,
 ValidStyle = validStyle,
 Flags = ValidationFlags.ValidateOnValueChanged,
 MinimumLength = 1,
 MaximumLength = 10
 };
 entry.Behaviors.Add(textValidationBehavior);
 Content = entry;
 }
}
C# Markup
Our CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup package provides a much more concise way to use this Behavior in C#.
using CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup;
class TextValidationBehaviorPage : ContentPage
{
 public TextValidationBehaviorPage()
 {
 Content = new Entry()
 .Behaviors(new TextValidationBehavior
 {
 InvalidStyle = new Style<Entry>(Entry.TextColorProperty, Colors.Red),
 ValidStyle = new Style<Entry>(Entry.TextColorProperty, Colors.Green),
 Flags = ValidationFlags.ValidateOnValueChanged,
 MinimumLength = 1,
 MaximumLength = 10
 });
 }
}
The following screenshot shows the resulting TextValidationBehavior on Android: Screenshot of an TextValidationBehavior on Android

Literal Values
STRING and DATETIME literal values are specified in a very similar manner by defining the value as a string of characters enclosed in either single or double quotes. The difference comes in an optional leading character before the opening quote. Either no leading character or a single s will specify a standard STRING value, while a single d will specify a DATETIME value.
DATETIME literals must be specified in ISO-8601 format. The underlying parsing logic is provided by dateutil.parser.isoparse(). DATETIME values with no time specified (e.g. d"2019-09-23") will evaluate to a DATETIME of the specified day at exactly midnight.
Example rules showing equivalent literal expressions:
 - "foobar" == s"foobar"
 - d"2019-09-23" == d"2019-09-23 00:00:00"
FLOAT literals may be expressed in either binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal formats. The binary, octal and hexadecimal formats use the 0b, 0o, and 0x prefixes respectively. Values in the decimal format require no prefix and is the default base in which values are represented. Only base-10, decimal values may include a decimal place component.
Example rules showing equivalent literal expressions:
 - 0b10 == 2
 - 0o10 == 8
 - 10.0 == 10
 - 0x10 == 16
FLOAT literals may also be expressed in scientific notation using the letter e.
Example rules show equivalent literal expressions:
 - 1E0 == 1
 - 1e0 == 1
 - 1.0e0 == 1
Builtin Symbols
The following symbols are provided by default using the from_defaults() method. These symbols can be accessed through the $ prefix, e.g. $pi. The default values can be overridden by defining a custom subclass of Context and setting the builtins attribute.

The Most Benevolent Machine: A Historical Assessment of Cycles in Canada
Numéro de l'article: L6364
Disponibilité: En stock
En anglais seulement
The cycle is a machine, but it is not just a machine. It is the basis of a popular recreational activity as well as a manufacturing industry in Canada. To understand its place in our society we must look at it for all of these perspectives. This historical assessment traces technological history of the cycle from the early 19th to the late 20th century focusing on the major innovations that made two and multi-wheeled cycles a viable and popular form of recreation. It also outlines the development of the cycle industry and Canadas place in it. Finally, it explores the place of the cycle and cycling in Canadian society. Author: Sharon BabaianPublished: 1997

Soil salinity has long concerned people in arid and semi-arid rangelands. One of the most essential cases of information for managers of natural resources is, preparation of soil salinity maps. Developing such maps using traditional methods includes spending a lot of time and cost. Satellite data has broadened and integrated our vision for this purpose. This study was conducted in order to develop a model for salinity map using ETM+ satellite data related to year of 2012 and salinity values in Damghan rangelands. The geometric and atmospheric correction of satellite images were carried out. Necessary processing such as; fusion of multispectral bands with panchromatic bands, Tasseled cap transformation, the Analysis of Principal Components, and rationing for composite bands creation were also performed. A total number of 114 surface soil points with the depth of 0-15 centimeters were picked through random sampling and their Electrical Conductivity (EC) was measured. Spectral values for each sample were extracted by different bands and the relation between spectral values (i.e. main bands, Tasseled Cap bands, Analysis of Principal Components, soil and vegetation index) with Electrical Conductivity values of the samples were investigated. Values were categorized by Factor Analysis of variables into four categories and three models were determined for developing soil Electrical Conductivity map according to the highest correlation. Results revealed that the highest correlation was found between the principal bands of blue, green, red (about R=0.7), Tasseled cap 1 & 2 & 4(R=0.68) and indicators SI1, SI2, SI3(R=0.7), GVI, BI(R=0.68), INT1, INT2, MND, WDVI (about R=0.7) and the second component of the main component. Finally, the stepwise correlation model was used for mapping the soil salinity according to the utilized variables and their maps extracted. Results showed that Landsat ETM+ images are good tools for preparing estimate salinity maps of arid rangelands.

Earth Talk: How much pollution do motorcycles generate?
Earth Talk
Dear EarthTalk: How much pollution do motorcycles generate? Are there efforts to make them more eco-friendly? --Matt Lackore, Rochester, MN
Motorcycles typically get about double the gas mileage of even the most fuel-efficient cars-but that doesn't mean they are green. Despite getting 60-70 miles per gallon, motorcycles are not subject to the same rigorous emissions standards as cars and light duty trucks, even though they spew up to 15 times more pollution per mile, mostly in the form of smog-causing hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
Increasingly stringent regulations in Europe and the U.S. have forced automakers to make their engines cleaner, but motorcycle manufacturers have not been held to such high standards and have therefore been slow to implement similar advances. According to the European Commission, motorcycles-despite only accounting for about three percent of total traffic volume in Europe-are expected to generate as much as 14 percent of that continent's total hydrocarbon emissions by 2010.
And in 2005, the United Nations' World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations, which works internationally to set vehicle emissions standards, issued a new set of motorcycle emissions testing guidelines that will make it easier for manufacturers to design more green-friendly motorcycles.

died Aug. 28, 1818, St. Charles, Mo., U.S.
black pioneer trader and founder of the settlement that later became the city of Chicago.
Du Sable, whose French father had moved to Haiti and married a black woman there, is believed to have been a freeborn. At some time in the 1770s he went to the Great Lakes area of North America, settling on the shore of Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Chicago River, with his Potawatomi wife, Kittihawa (Catherine). His loyalty to the French and the Americans led to his arrest in 1779 by the British, who took him to Fort Mackinac. From 1780 to 1783 or 1784 he managed for his captors a trading post called the Pinery on the St. Clair River in present-day Michigan, after which he returned to the site of Chicago. By 1790 Du Sable's establishment there had become an important link in the region's fur and grain trade.
In 1800 he sold out and moved to Missouri, where he continued as a farmer and trader until his death. But his 20-year residence on the shores of Lake Michigan had established his title as Father of Chicago.

Chapter: Clinical Cases in Anesthesia : Aortic Stenosis
How is the aortic valve area calculated?
In the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the aortic valve area is calculated using the Gorlin formula.
How is the aortic valve area calculated?

The normal valve area is 2.5–3.5 cm2 and a valve area less than 0.75 cm2 is considered to be severe AS. In the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the aortic valve area is calculated using the Gorlin formula. The simplified version states that the valve area is proportional to the flow across the valve divided by the square root of the mean pressure gradient.

Knowing the pressure gradient in the absence of the car-diac output (flow) is not a reliable indicator of the severity of aortic disease. For example, a patient with extremely severe AS but with a very low cardiac output, would have a small measured transvalvular gradient because of the diminished flow across the valve. However, in most patients one can assume that a mean pressure gradient >50 mmHg or a peak pressure gradient >80 mmHg implies severe stenosis.

There's a first time for everything and for Croatian Thingiverse contributor Matija Sedak, that first time was the contribution of a DaVinci-inspired 3D printed flying machine. There's nothing like standing on the shoulders of giants to help successfully address a challenge such as Thingiverse's #CatchTheWind call. After all, DaVinci looked to one of the greatest designers ever for his inspiration when he examined the wings of the bat.
The pointed ends of the wings themselves immediately point to his source of inspiration as does the membrane and rib structure that he envisioned created from pine and raw silk. The wings of the flying machine, 33 feet across, were designed to twist as they flapped, a lesson in flight learned from close observation of the nocturnal winged mammal.
Despite the genius of DaVinci's design, it required far more human power than was possible in order to get the contraption off the ground and, you may have noticed, we do not use flapping flying machines as a means for travel. What Sedak was interested in was not transporting a human through the air, but rather in using 3D printing as a mechanism for creating a small version of DaVinci's beautiful design. Seeing the Thingiverse challenge in the same week that he saw a poster for the DaVinci exhibit in Zagreb, the connection seemed obvious. Sedak explained his process:
"To start, I used AutoCAD to draw the base lines of the ribs and the body of the kite. After that, I imported 2D drawings into Rhino and started making ribs that have more height than width for balance in the air. After I made sure that all of the pieces could be printed, I started to print it, piece by piece redesigning the model as the defects became apparent. Printing was done my Prusa i3 and with an average speed of 40mm/s the printing lasted around 11 hours in total."
Currently, the mini-machine is held together with M3 nuts and bolts, but Sedak is working on creating a version that would be fixed together without the need for nuts and bolts. Part of this would be made possible by printing it in fewer pieces, something that would require a larger delta printer.
This is not just a shelf model, created for looks only, but can actually fly. Sedak promises that a video in which he flies the kite will be available shortly.
"To fly it you only need some nylon thread or something similar. You put the thread through the hole in the bottom of the kite's body. If you want to have additional control of your kite you can put additional threads on the left and right ribs at the place where the wings are secured to the ribs with M3 bolts. Currently I am also working on a few add-ons for the kite, such as handle that could wind up the threads. At the right circumstances it flies, but without additional threads it can be hard to control."
The commitment to continued improvement of a design bodes well for Sadek's future as a maker and once he graduates from the architecture program at the University of Zagreb. A true designer realizes that nothing is ever perfect and is humble enough to admit (if only to him/herself) that there is always something that can be done to improve upon a creation.
As this is Sedak's first contribution, I can't wait to see what continued efforts bring. Let us know if you'll be flying your own 3D printed contraption in the 3D Printed DaVinci-Inspired Flying Machine forum thread over at 3DPB.com.

A Virtual Photography Exhibit
by The Ground Glass
The Ground Glass, a Westchester-based association of fine art photographers, will be hosting "ABSTRACTIONS" a virtual photography exhibit by members.
Abstract photography is depiction of a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world. The abstract image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment such as a camera or, by more contemporary means, with a computer. In other cases, it may be created by manipulating film, photographic paper or materials in the darkroom.
An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a given environment in order to disguise its inherent context from the viewer or it may be staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects. The image may also use color, light, shadow, texture, shape or form to convey the feeling or impression intended by the artist.

Yearly Floods the New Reality for Rural Women
MEXICO CITY -- Year after year, women in rural areas of the southeastern Mexican state of Tabasco have to get ready for floods that threaten their homes, crops and livestock.
By Emilio Godoy, IPS

"We have adapted. Now we build our houses on
stilts," Celia Hernández, who works for an indigenous tourism project in
Centla, 857 km south of Mexico City, told IPS.
"Every year in June," she said, "the women start putting things away and
preparing the older people and children," in case there is flooding and
everyone has to evacuate their homes and take refuge on higher ground
Centla, a municipality with a population of 102,110, lies either side of
the Grijalva river in Tabasco, a state of 2.2 million people.
In the rainy season between June and October, the water level rises and
affects urban and rural areas, including Centla, which is located in a
swampy region and is home to 25 rural communities and 53 "ejidos"
(collectively owned farmlands), as well as the coastal town of Frontera,
the municipal capital.
"People lose everything they own. The government provides some economic
support, but it only covers part of the losses, so we have to start
again, over and over," said 18-year-old Hernández, who lives with her
family in a rural community where people are involved in tourism or
Since 2007, Tabasco has been hit by the highest and longest-lasting
floods of recent decades, in territory that is highly vulnerable to
climate change effects such as more intense rainfall, mudslides, rising
sea level and loss of biodiversity, which harm the welfare of the
"This is changing women's way of life and the traditional activities
they have carried out for years," María Hernández, in charge of gender
equality issues for the Santo Tomás Ecological Association (AEST), a
local NGO, told IPS.
"The floods leave women psychologically devastated and economically
destroyed. They have difficulty recovering their livelihoods," said
María (no relation to Celia Hernández).
"People used to know when they could plant this or that crop, but now
they don't know. Women take charge of supporting the family and looking
for food for their children and husbands," she said.
The devastation wrought in Tabasco by floods in October and November 2007 was assessed by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) at over three billion dollars.
Since then the AEST has supported groups of women in four
municipalities, providing training to cope with recurring climate
changes, psychological assistance and support for carrying out
development projects like poultry farming and family vegetable gardens.

In rural areas of Tabasco, women grow maize, tomatoes and other
vegetables and raise chickens and turkeys, complementing their husbands'
work which focuses on fishing.
Tabasco's climate, with an average annual rainfall of 2,550 millimetres,
and its 28 rivers and four dams make adaptation and mitigation measures
necessary. Together, these can create climate justice for women.
After the 2007 disaster, the regional government created the
Reconstruction and Reactivation Programme to Transform Tabasco, one of
whose goals is to complete the building of 3,500 housing units on high
ground around Villahermosa, the state capital, benefiting women in
"Women made homeless by the floods were relocated as part of a policy of
adapting to climate change," Dolores Rojas, programme coordinator for
the Mexican office of the Berlin-based Heinrich Böll Foundation, told
"An interesting aspect of this policy is that women were given the title
deeds to their homes. This meant they could decide to start a small
shop in their home, for example, without needing to ask their husbands'
permission," she said.
However, there have been some problems. Families who moved to the houses
faced higher transport costs, because their new homes are far from the
centre of Villahermosa, a city of 560,000 people, and there is a lack of
services, Rojas said.
But the study "Gender Relations and Women's Vulnerability to Climate
Change", carried out by Jenny Jungehülsing for the Heinrich Böll
Foundation, found that the relocation "reduced women's vulnerability in a
number of spheres of life," and contributed significantly to meeting
"important practical needs."
The policy lays the foundation "to advance toward greater gender
equality," the 2011 study concludes.
The national water commission, CONAGUA, and the Engineering Institute of
the state National Autonomous University of Mexico consider it a matter
of urgency to relocate over 66,000 people living in 18,000 dwellings in
107 communities at risk of flooding.
But not everyone agrees with the relocation. Some local organisations
call it forced eviction, especially in rural areas like Centla.
"What we want is more financial support, because (the government)
focuses mainly on urban areas. Close to the rivers, flooding is
inevitable," but people are reluctant to leave their places of origin,
Celia Hernández said.
Civil society organisations complain of bad planning in Tabasco that has
allowed construction in at-risk areas, and poor management of the dams,
which release excess water when they reach maximum levels. The overflow
often floods the surrounding communities, as happened in 2007.
"In order to protect Villahermosa, the floodwater is being diverted to
the rural communities. People have to leave their homes and are
relocated in another area, where they have nowhere to farm," complained
As a result, "the pressure of supporting a family increases and gender violence gets worse," she said.
Because of the recurring floods, the women have had to diversify their activities, since recovering their crops was impossible.
"Relocation plans should include a gender perspective so as not to give
only partial solutions; a comprehensive policy is needed. It's an
expression of climate justice," said Rojas.
Women "are more exposed to risks, and their vulnerability depends on
their socioeconomic status. Resettlement partially compensates for that
vulnerability," she said.
The Heinrich Böll Foundation study says: "Given that gender equality and
women's empowerment are central elements for reducing vulnerabilities
to climate change, it is important that these policies - through clear,
productive actions - diminish these vulnerabilities and advance toward
greater gender equality."

Although nice for outdoor activities, the mild and dry weather continues to worsen the drought conditions across south central Kansas.
Wichita experienced another sunny and mild day in the middle of Winter with a high of 61 degrees. Although nice for outdoor activities, the mild and dry weather continues to worsen the drought conditions across south central Kansas.The beginning of the dry spell began back in the very hot month of July, which saw the mercury reach or exceed 100 degrees on 17 days. Since July 1st, the Wichita area has only received 8.03 inches of precipitation. The normal amount of precipitation during this period is 15.19 inches. To put it another way, the Wichita area has only received 53 percent of its normal average rainfall during that 6-plus month period. The long term Palmer Drought Severity Index, which is a measure of prolonged moisture deficiency or excess, classified Wichita and south central Kansas in the moderate drought category. The Palmer Drought Index categories range from extreme drought, minus 4.0 and below, to extreme moist spell, plus 4.0 and above. The index for south central Kansas was a minus 2.3 through last week. January and February are rather dry months during a typical year, and the latest forecast for the upcoming week does not hold much promise for significant rain or snowfall either. Therefore the drought conditions are likely to persist at least until the early Spring.

LUDHIANA: The experts of department of entomology, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), on Friday revealed that all India coordinated research project on pesticide residues had found that 60 per cent of different food commodities were contaminated.
The study noted that 14 per cent of commodities exceeded that maximum residue limit (MRL). As per a press note issued here, MRL's have been prescribed for 71 pesticides out of the 185 registered for use in the country by the Central Committee for Food Standards.
The prescription is covered under Food Adulteration Act, 1954. It was said the commodities bearing pesticide residues above the legally permitted levels could be rejected by the importing countries, leading to considerable financial losses.
The experts also suggested the use of insecticides as per recommendations of PAU and the state agriculture department. The efficient spray technology and economic threshold levels could help in reducing the pesticide load vis-a-vis toxic residues, they said. The experts added that integrated pest management approach, adoption of precautions while applying pesticides and checking industrial effluents from entering water bodies could help in reducing these residues.
They also advised washing of fruits and vegetables, removing their skin and pressure coooking to mitigate the pesticide problem.


Singapore Flyer
Singapore Flyer (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
It's the time of year when the minds of top Ivy League undergraduates turn to interviews with investment banks and consulting firms. Here's a good interview question to test their smarts: What is the diamond planet worth? The answer: $26.9 nonillion ($26.9 followed by 30 zeros).
Sure, this is the first time in your life that you have ever thought of a nonillion. But you've surely thought of trillions before -- and that's a one followed by 12 zeros. To get to a quadrillion you just at three more zeros and if you go up three each time, it only takes five more increments of three zeros to get you to a nonillion.
That's a big chunk of change. To put those $26.9 nonillion into perspective, think about the Earth's GDP -- The World Bank estimated global GDP at about $70 trillion in 2011. The Diamond Planet is worth 384 quadrillion times more than Earth's GDP. And a mere.0182% of the Diamond Planet's raw diamonds would handily pay off what the Economist estimates is the $49 trillion in debt held by the world's governments.
The Diamond Planet is formally known as '55 Cancri e.' According to Reuters, it orbits a star in the constellation of Cancer and completes a rotation that takes Earth about 365 days in 18 hours.
The Diamond Planet's radius is double Earth's and its mass is eight times greater. The 3,900F planet is warmish -- and is "covered in graphite and diamond rather than water and granite," according to Yale researcher, Nikku Madhusudhan.
But for an aspiring consultant trying to answer this brain teaser, a key fact about the Diamond Planet is that "at least a third of the planet's mass, the equivalent of about three Earth masses, could be diamond," according to Reuters.
You may not even be familiar with what consulting firms do but you have probably heard of one of consulting's alumni -- Mitt Romney. Before he started Bain Capital, a leveraged buyout firm, he was a consultant at Bain & Co.
And when consulting firms hire undergraduate students, they screen out the ones who crack under pressure. One way they put candidates under pressure is to ask them to answer questions that require them to make calculations in their heads.
For example, one former student who interviewed at Bain's Singapore office was asked to estimate the annual revenues of "the world's largest observation wheel," the Singapore Flyer. To sail through that interview question, all you'd have to do is describe the details of the revenue formula you'd use, plug in reasonable assumptions, and calculate the correct answer in your head.
To the best of my knowledge, consulting firms have not used "What is the diamond planet worth?" in an interview yet. But it would certainly be a timely and difficult question to answer -- and one that is of interest precisely because of pressure -- a key ingredient in converting coal to diamonds (at least on Earth).

Louisville Library Flood-Mitigation Project
MSD and Louisville Free Public Library shared the cost of a flood-mitigation project at the Main Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library after it sustained more than $5 million in damages from flooding. Corradino created a protection plan for the Main Branch that includes:
- Disconnecting storm and sanitary sewer connections to the combined sewer system;
- Installing stormwater storage and infiltration for catching runoff from the building roof, parking lot and sidewalks;
- Installing a stormwater pumping station to force excess flows from stormwater storage to a separated storm sewer;
- Installing a sanitary pumping station to lift flows from the building—including basement plumbing—and to direct those flows to the sanitary sewer; and,
- Incorporating the ability to decrease the pumping rate from the station to prevent downstream overflows and sanitary sewer surcharge.

Science Blog, Jan. 21, 2012
New research at Oregon State University provides evidence for the first time that disruption of circadian rhythms – the biological "clocks" found in many animals – can clearly cause accelerated neurodegeneration, loss of motor function and premature death.
The study was published in Neurobiology of Disease and done by researchers at OSU and Oregon Health and Science University. Prior to this, it wasn't clear which came first – whether the disruption of biological clock mechanisms was the cause or the result of neurodegeneration.
The decline and loss of clock function may be just the beginning of a damaging, circular process, said Jadwiga Giebultowicz, an OSU professor of zoology, member of the OSU Center for Healthy Aging Research and project leader. "When the biological clock begins to fail, rhythms that regulate cell function and health get disrupted, and we now know that this predisposes the brain to neurodegeneration," Giebultowicz said. "But that neurodegeneration, in turn, may cause more damage to the clock function.
"A healthy biological clock helps protect against this damage," she said. "When the clock fails, the damage processes speed up."

The study objects of this article are the production processes in aviation and space-rocket industry. The main attention is paid to the manufacturing flows in production systems. Simulation is considered as one of the methods of construction and research on manufacturing flows. In order to create a simulation model it is needed to carry out a serious and difficult work, which is sometimes more time-consuming than the process of construction and analysis of simulation models. The purpose of this article is the study of the processes, which precede to the creation of simulation model. This article presents one of the possible approaches to the development of manufacturing flows simulation methods. It is shown that the simulation model includes a set of different types models such as the product mathematical model, network product model, the network model of the processes, as well as the model of network resources used in the creation of the product. The approach is primarily designed for engineers, which are the main data sources on the production system. It is proposed to develop a simulation model in three phases, where the last one is actually the formation of a simulation model. Also it is needed to identify the data sources for the constructing simulation model. And finally, it is necessary to develope approaches for the construction of works complex general methodology, which is needed for the creation of manufacturing flow simulation model.

Martins Fork Reservoir Sedimentation Studyby William D. Martin, US Army Engineer Waterways, Experiment Station, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Hydraulic Engineering
The Martins Fork Reservoir is located on Martins Fork of the Cumberland River in Harlan County, Kentucky. The lake was impounded in December, 1978. Since closure, the lake has experienced an infill rate approximately four times the design rate. This study was initiated in 1987 to evaluate the increased infill rate. The computer model HL-1, 'Sedimentation in Stream Networks,' authored by W.A. Thomas of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station Hydraulics Laboratory, was utilized to evaluate several future scenarios. These ranged from 'do nothing' to analyzing the effects of increased strip mining in the basin. This paper summarizes the study method and results.

25 Aug Glove box for Battery R&D Laboratory application
Glove boxes, also known as isolation chambers or controlled atmosphere enclosures, are essential tools in various industries, including battery research and development. They provide a controlled environment with low levels of moisture and oxygen, allowing researchers and manufacturers to work with sensitive materials, such as lithium-ion batteries, under optimized conditions. This essay explores the significance of glove boxes in battery applications, discussing their purpose, benefits, and contributions to advancing battery technology.
Purpose of Glove Boxes in Battery Applications:
Glove boxes play a crucial role in battery research, development, and manufacturing due to the highly reactive nature of battery materials, particularly in lithium-ion battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries involve the use of materials like lithium metal, lithium-ion cathodes, and electrolytes that are sensitive to moisture and oxygen. Even trace amounts of impurities can compromise battery performance, safety, and longevity. Glove boxes provide an isolated environment with controlled humidity and oxygen levels, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring consistent battery performance.
Benefits and Features of Glove Boxes:
Glove boxes maintain the purity of battery materials by preventing exposure to atmospheric moisture and oxygen, thus enhancing the overall performance and lifespan of batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries can be hazardous if mishandled. Glove boxes offer a controlled environment that reduces the risk of short circuits, fires, and explosions, ensuring the safety of researchers and workers.
Researchers can perform accurate experiments and tests within the controlled environment of a glove box, enabling them to collect reliable data on battery performance and behavior.
Glove boxes can be filled with inert gases like nitrogen or argon, creating an oxygen-free environment that prevents reactions with sensitive battery materials.
Glove boxes can be customized to accommodate specific research needs, allowing researchers to create unique atmospheres and conditions for various battery studies.
Contributions to Advancing Battery Technology:
Glove boxes have significantly contributed to the advancement of battery technology in several ways:
Researchers can experiment with new materials for electrodes, electrolytes, and separators without the risk of contamination, facilitating the discovery of novel, high-performance battery components.
Battery safety is paramount. Glove boxes enable thorough testing of battery designs, materials, and configurations to ensure they meet safety standards and regulations.
When transitioning from lab-scale to commercial-scale battery production, glove boxes aid in maintaining the integrity of materials during the scaling process.
Exploring Beyond Lithium-Ion:
As the battery field expands to include new chemistries (e.g., solid-state batteries), glove boxes offer a controlled environment to research and develop these emerging technologies.
Glove boxes facilitate streamlined research workflows, allowing researchers to focus on innovation rather than combating issues related to contamination and impurity.
Summazring the topic:
Glove boxes are indispensable tools in battery research and development due to their ability to create controlled environments that preserve the integrity of sensitive battery materials. By preventing contamination, ensuring safety, and enabling precise testing, glove boxes play a pivotal role in advancing battery technology. As the demand for high-performance batteries continues to grow in applications such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, the role of glove boxes in driving innovation and improving battery performance remains critical.

Hudson River Birds: In Celebration of the Quadricentennial of Henry Hudson's Voyage
To thematically dovetail with the 400 year celebration of Henry Hudson's historic voyage of discovery, and the exhibition Dutch New York between East and West: The World of Margrieta van Varick at the Bard Graduate Center Gallery organized in collaboration with the New-York Historical Society, five of Audubon's watercolors of birds who perch or live along the Hudson River are displayed. One, the Hudsonian Godwit, is even named after a namesake of the explorer's and is found along the river during migration. Some species are found in New York City, where Audubon himself had an estate ("Minniesland" on the Hudson at West 155th Street), while others are more common to the midand upper-regions.
This niche includes one of the most customary denizens of the river, the Common Loon, as well as the Prothonotary Warbler—most easily viewed on boat or by canoe on the Hudson—the Saw-Whet Owl, and the Marsh Hawk. Flowing in a southerly direction for 315 miles, the Hudson River's final 152 miles are a tidal estuary that supports an impressive range of wildlife and birds―resident, breeding, and migratory species―which are a major focus of environmental efforts to restore the natural resources of this legendary waterway.

OLMOS CREEK (UVALDE COUNTY)
OLMOS CREEK (Uvalde County). Olmos Creek rises (at 29°08' N, 100°04' W) in far southwestern Uvalde County two miles southeast of Dabney and runs south for twelve miles to its mouth (at 29°01' N, 100°04' W) on Muela Creek, fourteen miles northwest of La Pryor in northwestern Zavala County. The creek name is Spanish for "elm trees." The stream rises in flat to gently sloping terrain with local depressions or sinkholes; the land here is surfaced by very shallow to shallow and stony clays and loams that support scrub brush and grasses. The creek continues through low-rolling hills and prairie with deeper clayey and loamy soils that support chaparral, some mesquite, and grasses. Toward the mouth of Olmos Creek the terrain becomes low relief, surfaced by deep loams and clays that support pecans and other hardwoods and various grasses.

In order to set up a test environment to help improve qt-at-spi (or at-spi itself) You'll need a few things. Orca can be installed from your distribution, as can accerciser, however accerciser will need to be run in a particular way to work with at-spi2 as I'll mention later. You'll also need at-spi2-core and at-spi2-atk to test gtk applications. You'll also need pyatspi2. The simplest way to get these is to clone them from the following git urls:

=== How to test at-spi2 with gtk ===

Once these are installed, you can then test at-spi2 by running gcalctool with a few environment variables set. As mentioned on the [_URL_ at-spi dbus site] under "Instructions for Testing" you'll need some environment variables set. I use a file called ~/.a11ybashrc with the following contents:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

+

then I just source ~/.a11ybashrc to set up my shell for testing accessibility.
+
[_URL_ Simon] is an open-source speech recognition program and replaces the mouse and keyboard.

+
Then to test just run gcalctool with gcalctool & from that shell. You should see at-spi2-registryd in your process table once gcalctool has started. If not you are likely still using at-spi instead of at-spi2. You can use d-feet or qdbusviewer, or just qdbus to inspect the dbus interface of the registry and the accessible methods of the application at this point. You should also be able to run orca and hear the text of the calculator tool at this point.
+

+
=== How to test at-spi2 with Qt ===
+
Once you have a gtk app running correctly with orca and/or accerciser you are ready to try qt-at-spi. In order to do so, just clone the repo from
+
git://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi
+
Then run
+
qmake
+
make
+
make install
+

+
There is a handy calculator in qt-at-spi under the test folder that can be used to test qt's at-spi plugin with. Make sure QT_ACCESSIBILITY is set in your environment and run
+
test/test
+
from the source folder of qt-at-spi. You should see some console message about the bridge initializing. You'll also see the calculator's dbus path in the org.a11y.atspi.Registry GetChildren output.

The EPA has proposed escalated requirements for the 50,000+ U.S. water utilities in its Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI).
Prestigious New York University Decides to Inspect their Water Lines Using Advanced Pipe Assessment Technology Without Digging.
— Salvatore Russo, Assistant Director of Buildings and Grounds, Bard College
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Electro Scan Inc., a leading provider of advanced pipe assessment technology, is proud to announce its partnership with Bard College to conduct comprehensive assessment of the college's underground drinking water piping infrastructure.
The survey will be conducted campus-wide, including water service lines delivering drinking water to over 100 buildings, using the Company's patented SWORDFISH Buried Lead Pipe solution.
Bard College, founded in 1860, is a private liberal arts university located on the Hudson River in the town of Red Hook, New York.
With an estimated student population of over 2,000 undergraduates and 200 graduate students, Bard College offers a diverse and vibrant learning community known for its rigorous academics, commitment to the arts, and dedication to social justice and environmental sustainability.
The university reached out to Electro Scan Inc. after the recent passage of the Lead and Copper Rule Revision (LCRR) and State of New York legislation, which requires the inventory of all lead pipes.
New legislation places stricter regulations on lead and copper levels in drinking water, requiring institutions like Bard College to conduct thorough investigations of all campus water distribution pipelines.
Common inventory methods often involve excavation of each pipe which can be disruptive and costly, thereby causing distractions for students and faculty and unintentional internal pipe disturbances that may cause elevated lead levels in drinking water pipes.
"When Bard College started planning for the required Water Service Line Inventory, we knew we would need to find an accurate and efficient way to collect data with minimal disruption to the Bard campus," stated Salvatore Russo, Assistance Director of Buildings & Grounds, Bard College.
"The expertise Electro Scan possesses, along with the technology they utilize for material identification, will help us achieve these goals," continued Russo. "Bard College looks forward to working with Electro Scan in continuing our efforts and commitment to providing safe water to the Bard community."
Using SWORDFISH, Electro Scan's patented and patent-pending leak assessment technology, a sleek and flexible probe can enter water service lines without excavation through any access point in any condition. The key is the electrical resistance testing, which is able to automatically analyze pipe material 360°, identifying copper, galvanized, plastic, and lead pipe materials in a quarter of a second.
Founded in 2011, Electro Scan first applied the technology to underground sewer pipes to locate leaks that could not be identified by high resolution television cameras.
By 2015, Electro Scan had become a powerhouse in leak detection, expanding their horizons to include pipe material assessment when a large diameter asbestos cement pipe tested positive for lead during a routine inspection.
"Over 400,000 schools and childcare centers must conduct inventories to identify lead water services," stated Mike App, Executive Vice President, Electro Scan Inc. "Our work at Bard College will deliver results needed well before the EPA's mandated deadline of October 16, 2024."
By partnering with Electro Scan, Bard College aims to proactively address any issues within its underground piping infrastructure, minimizing the risk of costly failures and reducing the environmental impact associated with leaks and pipe failures. Electro Scan's assessments will provide Bard College with actionable data to make informed decisions regarding pipe repair and replacement, ensuring students are able to study safely.
On December 20, 2023, Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation S.5112/A.6115, also known as the Lead Pipe Right to Know Act, to protect New Yorkers from the extraordinary public health risk posed by lead pipes.
The legislation requires making information easily accessible to the public about the number and location of lead pipes so that state and federal resources can be secured and efficiently targeted to support local efforts to remove all lead pipes impacting New York's drinking water.
