A 106-year-old hydro dam was dynamited in Norway
River Tromsa is located in south-central Norway, about 250 km north of Oslo (Fig. 1). It is a tributary of River Lågen (or Gudbrandsdalslågen), a 204-km long river that runs through a large valley before emptying into Lake Mjøsa, Norway's biggest lake. Since 1916, the corridor of River Tromsa had been fragmented by a 9 m high dam located 950 m upstream its conjunction with River Lågen, near Fåvang town, in Innlandet (latitude: 61.45770, longitude: 10.19871). The dam was initially built to power a mill and later it was used to power a hydroelectric power plant. In 1950, the dam became inactive due to a flood, and remained so due to the high cost needed to fix the damage.

text: Spectral diffusion as a result of both the transitions between different molecular conformers and the "molecular softness" of quasi-free perylene diimides on a SiO2 surface is investigated by means of single-molecule spectroscopy, which reveals the time dependence of both the fluorescence spectra and the three-dimensional orientation. Spectral wavelengths of all single emitters cover a wide energy range of about 0.27 eV, which is due to different types of conformers with large differences in optical transition energy. Time-dependent spectral trajectories of single emitters within this wavelength manifold are evaluated with a model transcribed from the analysis of spatial diffusion. Spectral diffusion processes are closely correlated with fluorescence emission and excitation power. The overall analysis of spectral diffusion reveals, similar to proteins, a hierarchy of energy barriers in a broad energy landscape.

Microservice Generation Developer Guide
This is the developers guide to microservice generation.
1.1 What is microservice generation?
Acumos is intended to enable the use of a wide range of tools and technologies in the development of machine learning models including support for both open sourced and proprietary toolkits. Models can be easily onboarded and wrapped into containerized microservices which are interoperable with many other components.
The goal of microservice generation component is to provide an interface to create a wrapper microservice for the models onboarded in Acumos and containerize it along with all the run time dependencies of the model. .
1.2 Target Users
This guide is targeted towards the open source user community that:
 1. Intends to understand the backend functionality of the microservice generation.
 2. Intends to contribute code to enhance the functionality of the microservice generation.
1.3 Assumptions
It is assumed that the ML Models contributed by the open source community:
 1. Provide the basic request response style of communication.
 2. Can be converted in Microservices
 3. Are capable of communicating via Http REST mechanism.
 4. Are developed in Java, Python 3.0, R and sourced from toolkits such as Scikit, TensorFlow, H2O, and RCloud.
5. Model is successfully onboarded in Acumos and Model artifacts are available in Acumos Nexus repository. Artifacts include - Model binary, Protobuf definition for model input/output and service, Metadata.json along with Tosca generator files.
1.4 Microservice generation Design Architecture
image0
Microservice generation exposes API that accepts solution ID for onboarded model, downloads model artifacts and builds docker image for the model. Docker image is pushed to Nexus repository along with log for the dockerization of the model microservice.
image1
1.5 Microservice generation Low Level Design
Modeler/Data scientist creates model using toolkit. Modeler uses Acumos-client-library to push the model to Acumos platform. The client library uploads model and metadata file to Acumos onboarding server.Onboarding server solution, puts model and metadata artifact to repository. Model solution ID is accepted by Microservice generation API. Microservice generation downloads model artifacts - Model binary, protobuf file and metadata.json from Nexus. It parses metdata, creates a docker image and deploys all dependent libraries in docker container. It also deploys model binary in the container. Once docker image is created successfully it is uploaded to Nexus. It logs steps for dockerization and uploads the log as well to Nexus repository. This log is available for user to download and verify docker container or identify issues if dockerization is unsuccessful.
image2
1.6 Onboarding Use Case
Below, the data scientist's model is wrapped to produce a standardized native model. Depending on the input model, only a subset of standard model interfaces may be supported.
Acumos can then generate a microservice however it wishes. The underlying generic server can only interface with the inner model via the wrapper. This decoupling allows us to iterate upon and improve the wrapper independently of Acumos.
image3
1.7 Microservice generartion Model Artifact
Model artifacts must provide sufficient metadata that enables Acumos to instantiate runtimes, generate microservices, and validate microservice compositions. The proposed solution is to split the model artifact into public and private components.
 - Public
 - Understood by Acumos. Includes metadata on:
 - Model methods and signatures
 - Runtime information
 - Private
 - Opaque to Acumos but understood by the wrapper library.
 - Includes: Serialized model
 - Auxiliary artifacts required by wrapper library
 - Auxiliary artifacts required by model
By splitting the artifact into public and private pieces, the wrapper library has the freedom to independently iterate and improve.
image4
1.8 Microservice generartion Setup
Steps:
 1. Clone the code from Gerrit Repo:
Repo URL: _URL_
Under the dashboard page we have list of Projects,select Microservice generartion Project and clone this project by using below clone command:
git clone ssh://<GERRIT_USER_NAME>@gerrit.acumos.org:29418/microservice-generation
 1. After cloning import this project in your recommended IDE like STS.
 2. Take the maven update so that you can download all the required dependencies for the Microservice generartion Project.
 3. After doing maven update you can run or debug the code by using Spring Boot App but before that we need to set the Environment Variables in our IDE tool for local testing and if you want to read the environment variables once you deployed your code on the dev or IST server than you need to set all the environment variables in system-integration Project.
1.9 Microservice generartion Technology & Framework
 - Java 1.8
 - Spring Boot
 - Spring REST
 - Docker Java Library
1.10 Microservice generartion – Code Walkthrough & details
In Microservice generartion project we have template folder under resources where we are putting all the Docker file with some other dependencies for different Models like h20,java_argus,java_genric,,python,r ,etc.
For example:
For Microservice generartion H20 model we have the h20 Docker file and requirement.txt file attached below inside h20 folder.
Microservice generartion code understands this Docker file related to particular model line by line it reads the commands and performs the action accordingly. It will download all the required dependences accordingly.
Note: Make sure the Docker is installed in the local Machine before try to Onboard the model in by using our local machine Environment.
1.11 Microservice generartion – Docker Image Creation and details
The Microservice generartion server exposes REST API for creating a docker image for a model onboarded in Acumos.
API accepts solution ID for the model in Acumos. The metadata JSON, Model binary and protobuf definition file are downloaded from the repository. The model metadata is used to get the runtime version information, for example python 3.5. This information is used to fetch the runtime template. The runtime template contains template for following files.
1.Dockerfile
2.requirements.txt
3.app.py
4.swagger.yaml
Below is the structure:
image5
The above template files are populated based on metadata JSON uploaded by user. Microservice generartion server uses docker-java library for model docker image creation. Once the docker image is created, the image is tagged and pushed to nexus docker registry.The server uses common data micro-services API to create solution and store model and metadata to artifact repository.
1.13 Microservice generartion Backend API
-generateMicroservice:
This API is used for actual Microservice and docker image generartion for models after successful authentication of token (APIToken or JWTtoken) shared by user.

What happens if you eat a lot of wasabi?
Too much wasabi leads to 'broken heart syndrome' in 60-year-old woman.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a weakening of the heart's left ventricle — its main pumping chamber.
It's often called "broken heart syndrome.".
Is wasabi like horseradish?
Wasabi is similar in many ways to common horseradish. In fact, wasabi is sometimes even referred to as Japanese horseradish. And in Japan, horseradish is known as seiyō wasabi – or western wasabi.
Why does wasabi hurt?
The pungent ingredient in wasabi that causes the nasal burning sensation is allyl isothiocyanate, a chemical also found in mustard and horseradish. The toxicity of allyl isothiocyanate is low, and it is not considered a human carcinogen. It has been produced commercially for more than 60 years.
Is wasabi addictive?
Wasabi Mame(わさび豆): Wasabi peas They are simply dried green peas covered with spicy wasabi coating. The most common product is green peas but sometimes dried beans are used instead. As you might already know, wasabi is very healthy and also gives you some fresh taste. … Wasabi peas are very addictive.
Why is wasabi eaten with sushi?
The Japanese Sushi Chef in Japan will add wasabi into Sushi and Sashimi. Have you wondered why? The most easy-to-spot effect after adding a pinch of wasabi into Sushi and Sashimi is that it will reduce the fishy smell from the food (because the dish uses raw fish). The next effect you will find is when you have a bite.
Is wasabi good for your liver?
Another study in Nutrition Research and Practice has also shown that wasabi can help reduce weight, prevent obesity, and even inhibit fatty buildup in the liver. All of which is good news for wasabi fans who are looking to show their livers a little love.
Can wasabi kill virus?
The unique flavor of wasabi comes from complex chemical mixtures including methlthioalkyl isothiocyanates. German researchers have shown that the hydrolysis of chemicals in wasabi inhibit microbe growth. Studies show wasabi can kill many kind of bacteria and viruses, such as E. coli O-157, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V.
How do I buy real wasabi?
Where to buy real wasabi?Wasabi paste in a squeeze tube. This should be sold and shipped frozen. … Powdered wasabi. This is less expensive than the paste variety, but also less good. … Wasabi rhizome which you have to grate yourself with a grater, preferably a shark skin paddle.
Why is wasabi so expensive?
Wasabi plants require very specific conditions to grow and thrive: constant running spring water, shade, rocky soil, and temperatures between 46 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Wasabi is hard to grow, which makes it rare, which makes it expensive, which means you eat green horseradish and don't know until now.
Why do sushi restaurants serve ginger?
Traditionally, pickled ginger (or gari) is served as a palate cleanser during a meal made up of several courses of sushi. A bite of ginger between the different pieces of sushi allows you to distinguish the distinct flavors of each fish.
Is wasabi bad for your heart?
People take wasabi by mouth for heart disease, cancer, stomach pain, indigestion (dyspepsia), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. Wasabi is used in food as a spice.
How healthy is wasabi?
The compounds in wasabi have been analyzed for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties in test-tube and animal studies. They have also been researched for their ability to promote fat loss, as well as bone and brain health.
Will wasabi kill my dog?
Science Behind Dogs and Wasabi Although wasabi is not inherently toxic for dogs, you should never give it to your dog as a treat or to see if they like it. Spicy foods can upset your dog's stomach, burn their mouths, and even cause them gas and bloating.
Why does horseradish hurt my brain?
While capsaicin is responsible for the burn in peppers, allyl isothiocyanate produces the nasal flaring sensation to which wasabi and horseradish are known. … The TRPA1 receptors in the nasal cavity recognize Allyl Isothiocyanate and sends a pain signal to the brain.
Is wasabi good for colds?
Spicy foods can make our noses run and our eyes water, but they're also effective natural decongestants. Eating chili peppers, wasabi, or horseradish can help relieve the symptoms of congestion.


The power outages are causing a lot of problems across the country, and due to the relentless cold weather, people have come up with their own way to stay warm.
Keep scrolling for a step-by-step guide on how to make one of these inventive heaters of your own...
As of right now, there are over 3 million people without power...
And the freezing temperatures we are experiencing are making matters worse.
Although, some have shared their genius hack to stay warm until the power comes back on...
People are using Terracotta Flower Pots and candles to heat up their homes.
Yep, that's right, people have invented flower pot heaters to stay warm...
And everyone is loving the inventive idea.
But you might be asking yourself, how does this work?
Well, the clay/terracotta pots absorb the energy from the candles and radiate that heat.
And what makes the idea even better, is you probably already have everything you need to make one...
Check out how to make your own below...
You'll need:
1. Flower pot - this has to be clay or terracotta.
2. Tea Light Candles.
I'm pretty sure we all have some of them hanging around.
3. Some bricks or something you can place the pot on.
You can also use glass or cooking pans.
Some people have also been using bolts to hold the heater up if you want to be a little fancier...
Like you see above.
So, how do you make it?
First, you have to take your flower pot and turn it upside down.
The, put your candles inside and light them.
Make sure they're not on a surface that'll easily burn.
Stick the bricks or whatever you are using onto the sides of the flower pot.
After a few hours, your room with begin to heat up!
Just make sure to keep an eye on kids and pets as the pot can reach 500F.
I'm on my way to make one right now!

The Triple-S Learning Approach
Making positive changes in rural water sector performance means influencing actors to move from building infrastructure to building services. Triple-S seeks to learn and share lessons on how actors can coordinate and harmonise with one another and support the shift from focusing on stand-alone infrastructure projects to delivering sustainable services.
Understanding how to improve rural water service delivery requires Triple-S to follow a unique, two-pronged approach to learning. First, Triple-S seeks lessons from changes in the rural water sector over time: What are the sector specific changes for sustainable service delivery at scale? How are development partners influencing rural water policies, practice, and financing strategies? Second, Triple-S endeavours to learn how to improve as a change agent: Are we using the right methods for enabling change? How can we improve?
The purpose of learning activities in Triple-S
The Triple-S learning is guided by the Principles Framework— eight principles describing essential conditions for delivering sustainable water services at scale. The framework supports Triple-S and partners' learning about the rural water sector and also influences Triple-S' strategy as a change agent.
To support the learning process, Triple-S continuously looks for internal and external lessons about changes in the rural water sector over time. Triple-S uses a continuous feedback loop (Figure 1) to design its learning activities and to find lessons for improvement.
The six purposes of Triple-S learning activities are to:
- Support joint learning in the sector.
- Provide evidence of locally inspired and validated solutions for service delivery, a learning sector, and harmonisation.
- Provide strategic guidance for Triple-S teams in Ghana, Uganda, Burkina Faso and internationally.
- Generate a critical account of the approach used in Triple-S to enable change.
- Track progress towards achieving activities and producing outputs.
- Inform stakeholders about Triple-S progress, and adaptations in strategy or approach.
What makes the Triple-S learning approach unique and what can we learn from it?
Triple-S staff, partner organisations, and target audiences are encouraged to learn through constant feedback loops. Continuous reflection on how activities are performing allows Triple-S staff and partners to strengthen activities that are going well and to adjust activities that are not working properly. The International work stream of Triple-S meets biannually to analyse progress towards influencing the policy, practice and financing strategies of development partners related to sustainable rural water services. Triple-S learning meetings focus on two important points:
Narrative 1: The extent to which progress is being achieved in influencing such policy and practice.
Narrative 2: How effective the strategies adopted by Triple-S are encouraging change in the sector.
Understanding the two narratives critically requires Triple-S staff and partners to dedicate as much attention to the content of the initiative—changing the sector to apply sustainable service delivery, as to the process—are we changing the sector in the correct way? Making learning the critical mirror to assess the overall progress of Triple-S allows for more effective improvements throughout the lifespan of the initiative.
By following the two-pronged approach to learning: understanding how the water sector is changing to provide sustainable services at scale, and understanding how an organisation is working as a change agent, Triple-S staff, along with current and potential new partners can understand mutually what is working and what is not for rural water supply. Together we can learn how to make water services last for rural populations.


text: In recent years, recommender systems are widely applied in e-commerce system to help users locating their interested information. However, the 'all good reputation' problem brings down the accuracy of recommender systems. In addition, users' social network can benefit the recommendation especially when dealing with cold-start scenarios. In this paper, a novel trust-aware recommendation approach for e-commerce is proposed, which unearths the hint from ordinary rating and trust network by users' instant interactions in e-commerce system. More precisely, a rating revamping algorithm is designed to extract semantic ratings from feedback comments, and further construct fine grained rating score for the next process. Then, the recommendation scheme is studied through analyzing the users' trust network and their own behavior in e-commerce system. Finally, evaluations conducted based on a real dataset 'Douban' to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.


Worldwide mobile advertising revenue is expected to reach $11.4 billion in 2013, but small businesses have few tools to fully understand the value of mobile advertising.
Google announced yesterday the launch of Full Value of Mobile Calculator, a free tool that measures how much money mobile advertising actually brings in.
Here's how it works. Businesses upload data from Google's AdWords or from their mobile websites and input them into the step-by-step calculator. The tool goes through five potential outcomes of a mobile advertising campaign: in-store sales, phone calls, app downloads, cross-device purchases, and sales on mobile site. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the calculation, according to Google.
For instance, to calculate the value of in-store sales started on mobile, a user enters the number of clicks, the percentage of visits out of total clicks, the percentage of purchases out of total visits, and the average value of an in-store purchase. (If you do not know the exact data, the calculator provides a list of estimates based on different industries.)
After you input all the data, the tool will automatically calculate two benchmarks: the mobile site value and the value of all mobile advertising conversions.
Google's launch of the Full Value of Mobile Calculator came on the same day when Yelp announced a new feature, which was based on a Boston Consulting Group study, to quantify the site's value to small businesses.

Monitoring mites with a sugar shake
It seems that every beekeeping group has its own way to monitor Varroa mites. I keep hearing variations on the sugar shake (or sugar roll), the alcohol wash, and the soap bath. But one thing remains constant: most hobby beekeepers don't want to kill bees in order to count mites.
The powdered sugar shake does not kill bees. The sugar-coated honey bees are easily added back to the hive and the sugar consumed. Both the alcohol wash and the soap bath give a slightly more accurate count, but both kill the bees. Soap and alcohol give more accurate results for two reasons: they better separate the mites from the bees and they allow an actual count of the bees in the sample instead of an estimate.
However, it is my opinion that beekeepers are more likely to monitor if they don't have to kill bees in the process. I also believe that the easier it is to do, the more likely it is to happen. Furthermore, I don't think the last scintilla of accuracy makes much difference. Your decision to treat or not treat will probably be unaffected by the one or two mites you missed.
Compare the two
If you are uncomfortable with the difference, you can try this at home: Do a sugar shake and count the mites. Next, use alcohol on the same group of bees and count the extra mites. In most cases, you will find that the sugar shake dislodged at least 90% of the mites.
If you want, you can assume you are getting 90% of the mites with your sugar shake, and then you can adjust the estimate by dividing your count by 90%. For example, if your sugar roll yielded 8 mites, then 0.9χ = 8, so χ = 8.8 mites. Let's call it 9. But do I think this is a necessary step? No.
In the interest of simplicity I have distilled a number of sources that describe how to do a sugar shake and tried to make it as easy as possible.
Simple Instructions for a Sugar Shake Test (Sugar Roll)
Equipment Needed:
 - A mason jar with a marking at the 1/2-cup level. Some mason jars come with embossed measurements, or you can draw a line with a marker.
 - A mason jar ring fitted with a round disk of #8 hardware cloth. This lid must fit on your mason jar.
 - Confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar or icing sugar)
 - A spoon
 - A container for counting mites. It should be white or at least very light colored so the mites can be seen.
 - A bucket, bowl, feeder, Tupperware container, or something that you will shake your bees into.
 - A small amount of water
Prepare all this equipment in advance. If you use a 5-gallon bucket to catch the bees, you can put the rest of your equipment in there for transport. Once in the apiary, lay out your equipment.
Now, here are the steps:
 1. Remove 1 or 2 frames of bees from the brood nest. Ideally, these frames will contain open brood and nurse bees. Make sure the frames you shake do not include the queen.
 2. Shake the frames over your bucket. Don't bang the frames, just shake.
 3. Take your bucket of bees, tap it so the bees collect on the bottom, and then pour them into your mason jar up to the 1/2-cup line. This will give you approximately 400* bees.
 4. Quickly screw on the modified lid.
 5. Pour the rest of the bees back in the hive.
 6. Spoon some confectioners sugar onto the mesh screen and work it through with your fingers.
 7. Shake the bees in the jar for about a minute to completely coat both bees and mites, using as much sugar as necessary.
 8. Invert the jar and shake it into your light-colored dish. Keep shaking until mites and sugar stop falling out.
 9. Add a small amount of water to your dish of mites. This dissolves the sugar and makes the mites easier to see.
 10. Count the mites.
This concludes the actual test. Next you will need to consult a chart in order to decide if you should treat for mites. Recommendations vary depending on the season and where you live. Also, recommendations may be given based on the number of mites per bee, in which case you will have to divide your mite count by the estimated number of bees in your sample.
Neither way counts every mite
None of the methods mentioned above—sugar, soap, or alcohol—count the mites under the brood caps, but most of the charts available take this into consideration. If you are uncertain, but sure to read the fine print.
Although this system is not perfect, it will give you a lot of information for a very small amount of effort. Give it a try and see how your mites are doing. One way or the other, you might be surprised.
*Estimates vary. According to Marla Spivak at the University of Minnesota, there are approximately 100 bees per fluid ounce.
Nick Holmes
Do you have a reference you can point at about the calculation for working out infestation levels, the only ones I know about are for mite drop through the screen floor under normal activity.
The University of Minnesota says this, "If you know how many bees were in your sample, you can estimate the number of mites per 100 bees. If there is brood in the colony when you sample, you should double this number to factor in the amount of mites in worker brood. For example, if there are 5 mites/100 bees, the total infestation is probably 10 mites/100 bees. If your colony has over 10-12 mites/100 bees, you should consider treatment."
On the other hand, The University of Montana recommends treating if you get 5-9 mites from a sugar roll containing 250 bees. I assume they are doubling the number to account for brood, which would give you 10-18 mites. Dividing that by 2.5 gives you 4-7 mites/100 bees. Those are fairly inconsistent, so I hesitate to recommend one over the other.
Today I opened up one of my hives to remove the spent HopGuard strips and put the quilt box on for the winter. I was surprised to find a nest of ladybugs under the telescopic outer cover and the inner cover. Although I have been bitten by the orange ladybugs before, I doubt the ladybugs would attack the bees but I was wondering if they would eat the mites. I would guess their main reason for being there was to stay warm and dry but wouldn't it be great if these are a natural predator of the varroa mites.
Nick Holmes
Ok thanks… gives me a start in terms of mites / role = infestation in hive. I should be able to extrapolate from that. Thanks 🙂
Hi Rusty,
I didn't want to use chemicals to treat, so I read & read to find the best way to treat for mites. So I settled on the wintergreen patty recipe you provided, sugar sprinkle, followed up with about 60 drops of peppermint oil mixed in about 2 pints or less of honey (theirs) in a baggie feeder. I also saturated strips of paper towels with a mixture of 1/2 cup corn oil and tea tree oil/peppermint oil/patchouli oil in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle, I used only 2 oils together. I laid the saturated 5×5 pieces of paper towels, 2 in each hive directly on the frames in the upper brood box, with the hopes they chew it up and get some oils. (I only overwinter with 2 deeps.) Oo I tucked them in with a candyboard, said a prayer and will check on them before deep winter sets in. This is just my second year so I'm still learning. I'm not a helicopter beekeeper. I'm pretty lazy, and I let the bees be bees. I don't go down in brood frames and examine and I don't cut things open or out. It's mostly because I do more harm being inexperienced than any real help. I hate tearing up all their hard work. The only thing I will do in the spring is try a walkaway split on my two hives. They beat me to it last palm Sunday lol!!!

Very good! I actually tried the sugar roll method for the first time this year and had 4 mites drop. Ideally I would have done a set of brood frames in the top and bottom box and maybe averaged them together but I ran out of daylight. Hopefully the bees will make it through the winter and I can see how many mites drop next year in the spring, summer and fall.
PS – I'm trying the pine shavings in my ventilation board this winter. I'm excited to see how it works! Thanks!
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking... why what? But powdered sugar is found to be an effective mite control if done on a regular weekly schedule. It only gets part of the mites (and none under the cappings) so it must be repeated often. The sugar shake test dislodges a greater number of mites because you use

For the past several weeks I have been trying to develop a method to measure the volumes of snail shells. The method I am working on involves the immersion of an object with an unknown volume in water and several sets of weight measurements. The method is not yet applicable to snail shells, because I can't quite figure out how to seal their apertures in a practical and reversible way so that water won't leak inside. Nevertheless, I have carried out a test using 6 small balls, including 3 balls from old computer mice, 1 metal ball bearing and a glass marble.
After I measured the volumes and the diameters of the balls, it dawned on me that I could use the data to calculate a value for pi. Here is the plot of measured volumes against measured radii.
This plot is, of course, based on the equation for the volume of a sphere: V=(π4/3)r3. Therefore, pi can be calculated from the slope. The value I got was 3.16, which is 0.6% higher than the true value of 3.14.
There are several sources of error that could have resulted in my erroneous result. For example, if the calipers I used to measure the diameters were off by even 0.1 mm, that could have created an error of about 0.4%. Also, the balls I used are probably not perfect spheres. Another likely source of error is the value I used for the density of water, which depends on the temperature and the purity of the water used.
If and when I figure out how to apply this method to snail shells, these errors will not be important as long as they are equally applicable to every specimen; I am mainly interested in the relative volumes of a sample of shells rather than the absolute values of their volumes.
Tests are continuing.

Warning over 'DPD' scam text - here's what to do if you receive a fake delivery tracking message
Wednesday, 21st July 2021, 4:48 pm
What you need to know about the scam text (Photo: Shutterstock)
Over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, shoppers across the country became more dependent on parcel delivery services such as Royal Mail, DPD and Hermes while we stayed indoors.
However, this change in shopping behaviour has resulted in a new wave of scams thought up by criminals, with the latest warnings advising shoppers to be wary of fake delivery emails and texts from DPD.
Action Fraud says that by December 2020, £242k was lost to fake DPD emails and texts.
This is what you need to know.
What's the scam?
The scam entails sending a text that claims that DPD attempted to deliver a package to you, but was unable - and there therefore is an outstanding fee to pay for arranging a redelivery.
The message then usually contains a link that instructs victims on how to set up a redelivery for their parcel, and how to pay the outstanding fee.
If you go ahead and make the payment, you'll then receive a phone call a few days later from someone claiming to be from your bank to inform you of suspicious transactions on your account.
Criminals undertaking this scam are able to use something called "spoofing" to make it seem like the text or phone call is genuinely coming from the bank.
The victim is then told that their bank account could be compromised, and are instructed to transfer their money into what they think is a secure alternative account to prevent further loss.
However, in reality, the victim has transferred their money into an account which is under the fraudsters control.
In some cases, criminals are able to gain enough personal information and security details during the phone call with the unsuspecting victim that they are actually able to take out a loan in the victim's name - and then, again, transfer the loan to an account that they control.
How can I spot a scam text?
DPD says you can spot a fake text by looking at the following characteristics:
 - Poor language - keep an eye out for badly written sentences with spelling or grammatical mistakes
 - Lack of personal salutation - rather than using your name, you will be addressed as "customer" or "sir/madam"
 - Obscure links - always be wary of links in texts that urge you to click on them, and you should always double check where the link will be sending you
If you're unsure about a text for whatever reason, it's always best to err on the side of caution.
Don't click any links and instead visit the DPD website to get help regarding the delivery status of your parcel.
A DPD spokesperson said that DPD would never "get consumers to send money for parcels to be redirected or re-delivered" and that it would never "ask consumers to give us their bank details".
What should I do if I get a fake text?
If you've received a scam text, do not click any links or follow any instructions contained within the message.
Action Fraud says that if you've received a scam text, you can forward the message to 7726, which spells SPAM on your keypad.
What should I do if I've clicked a link or paid money?
If you acted upon the message sent to you that you think might be a scam, you should contact your bank immediately to let them know what has happened and discuss your next steps.
You can also report it to Action Fraud online, or by calling 0300 _PHONE_ as soon as possible.
For those in Scotland, you can report the scam to Citizens Advice and you can call the police on 101 if you've transferred money in the last 24 hours.

What is a design sprint?
If you're a d.school fellow, it's a way to launch your project into a new phase. Starting in January, fellows will ramp up their work by incorporating their fellow fellows into their projects. Each fellow will synthesize the work they've done so far, develop a schedule and lead their colleagues through a sprint they design.
A quick reminder: We have eight fellows this year, most working on a project relating to K-12 education or health care. Recently, the fellows came together for an all-day studio session to plan for their sprints. Here's how they'll work:
- Two fellows at a time will be have three weeks for a specific project, each leading a team of three other fellows.
- Each week will have three days when each team will work together.
- Each fellow will have a day to launch in the beginning and then, at the end, a day dedicated to sharing and another to reflection. The teamwork will happen largely in between.
Each fellow used a tool (see the whiteboard layout above) to help craft their design sprint. The loose framework is meant to focus them on their project and highlight what they plan to do, who will be involved, where they plan to be and how they'll go about it.
The whiteboard (first image shown above) is divided into three weeks, with each week divided into three days of team work. Each day is then subdivided into four categories of action: what, how, who and where. The board also includes space for fellows to articulate the "why" of their sprint: what it's about, what their process needs accomplish, and what, ultimately, they're going to use their team to do.
If you're engaging in your own design sprint and use this framework, let us know how it goes. We'll do the same when our fellows hit the field.

Katie Eberhart - Writing & Observations
Winter Identification of Deciduous Trees Native to the Matanuska Valley, Alaska and other parts of northern North America
One approach is to decide what the forest looks like. Sometimes this is enough to become relatively certain what kind of tree you are looking at, especially if you are in a familiar area with common trees. Other times identifying trees requires that you evalutate in detail the different structural parts to determine exactly which tree it is. This is called using a Key. Here the key to winter trees is adapted to a linked hypertext environment, with illustrations to guide you through the process.
Look at the tree from a distance, what shape is its crown? Is it rounded and spreading? Are the branches well developed along the trunk but the crown is also well developed?
Another part of the tree to become familiar with is its bark. Below is a "menu" of bark from some of the most common deciduous trees in the native forests of the Matanuska Valley.
Winter tree key derived from: Leslie A. Viereck and Elbert L. Little, Jr., Alaska Trees and Shrubs, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Handbook No. 410, 1972.

Creating a circular agrifood system with up-cycled ingredients that benefit people and planet
About the Session
This presentation from Duynie Group, in collaboration with Griffith Foods, will touch on circular agrifood systems and the transformative potential of upcycled ingredients.
In a world grappling with environmental challenges and food waste, the need for innovative solutions that reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote sustainable practices is more critical than ever. Duynie Group has embraced this challenge head-on and developed pioneering methods to transform food waste and by-products into valuable ingredients for the agrifood industry.
During this presentation, Duynie Group will showcase their revolutionary upcycling processes, which involve repurposing and transforming previously discarded or undervalued ingredients into high-quality products.
Together with their partner, Griffith Foods, they will highlight a case study on how brewers' spent grain is redirected from animal feed and pet food to ingredients for human consumption. These upcycled products not only reduce waste but also offer functional and nutritional benefits while addressing the challenges of resource scarcity and environmental degradation.
By attending this presentation, you will witness first-hand how Duynie Group & Griffith Foods are actively contributing to a circular economy and are promoting a more sustainable future by harnessing the power of circularity to benefit both people and the planet.

non-adjacent vertices.
Constructors
StarFun (Int -> Int)
Specify the order in which the vertices should be connected by a function that maps each vertex index to the index of the vertex that should come next. Indexing of vertices begins at 0.
StarSkip Int
Specify a star polygon by a "skip". A skip of 1 indicates a normal polygon, where edges go between successive vertices. A skip of 2 means that edges will connect every second vertex, skipping one in between. Generally, a skip of n means that edges will connect every nth vertex.
star :: StarOpts -> [P2] -> Path R2 Source
Create a generalized star polygon. The StarOpts are used to determine in which order the given vertices should be connected. The intention is that the second argument of type [P2] could be generated by a call to polygon, regPoly, or the like, since a list of vertices is TrailLike. But of course the list can be generated any way you like. A Path R2 is returned (instead of any TrailLike) because the resulting path may have more than one component, for example if the vertices are to be connected in several disjoint cycles.
Regular polygons
regPoly :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Int -> Double -> t Source
Create a regular polygon. The first argument is the number of sides, and the second is the length of the sides. (Compare to the polygon function with a PolyRegular option, which produces polygons of a given radius).
The polygon will be oriented with one edge parallel to the x-axis.
triangle :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
An equilateral triangle, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
eqTriangle :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A synonym for triangle, provided for backwards compatibility.
square :: (TrailLike t, Transformable t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A square with its center at the origin and sides of the given length, oriented parallel to the axes.
pentagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular pentagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
hexagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular hexagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
heptagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular heptagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
septagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A synonym for heptagon. It is, however, completely inferior, being a base admixture of the Latin septum (seven) and the Greek γωνία (angle).
octagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular octagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
nonagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular nonagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
decagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular decagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
hendecagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular hendecagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
dodecagon :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> t Source
A regular dodecagon, with sides of the given length and base parallel to the x-axis.
Other special polygons
unitSquare :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => t Source
A square with its center at the origin and sides of length 1, oriented parallel to the axes.
rect :: (TrailLike t, Transformable t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> Double -> t Source
rect w h is an axis-aligned rectangle of width w and height h, centered at the origin.
Other shapes
roundedRect :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> Double -> Double -> t Source
roundedRect w h r generates a closed trail, or closed path centered at the origin, of an axis-aligned rectangle with width w, height h, and circular rounded corners of radius r. If r is negative the corner will be cut out in a reverse arc. If the size of r is larger than half the smaller dimension of w and h, then it will be reduced to fit in that range, to prevent the corners from overlapping. The trail or path begins with the right edge and proceeds counterclockwise. If you need to specify a different radius for each corner individually, use roundedRect' instead.
roundedRectEx = pad 1.1 . centerXY $ hcat' (with & sep .~ 0.2)
 [ roundedRect 0.5 0.4 0.1
 , roundedRect 0.5 0.4 (-0.1)
 , roundedRect' 0.7 0.4 (with & radiusTL .~ 0.2
 & radiusTR .~ -0.2
 & radiusBR .~ 0.1)
 ]
roundedRect' :: (TrailLike t, V t ~ R2) => Double -> Double -> RoundedRectOpts -> t Source
roundedRect' works like roundedRect but allows you to set the radius of each corner indivually, using RoundedRectOpts. The default corner radius is 0. Each radius can also be negative, which results in the curves being reversed to be inward instead of outward.
Arrows
arrowV :: Renderable (Path R2) b => R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
arrowV v creates an arrow with the direction and magnitude of the vector v (with its tail at the origin), using default parameters.
arrowV' :: Renderable (Path R2) b => ArrowOpts -> R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
arrowV' v creates an arrow with the direction and magnitude of the vector v (with its tail at the origin).
arrowAt :: Renderable (Path R2) b => P2 -> R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
Create an arrow starting at s with length and direction determined by the vector v.
arrowBetween :: Renderable (Path R2) b => P2 -> P2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
arrowBetween s e creates an arrow pointing from s to e with default parameters.
arrowBetween' :: Renderable (Path R2) b => ArrowOpts -> P2 -> P2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
arrowBetween' opts s e creates an arrow pointing from s to e using the given options. In particular, it scales and rotates arrowShaft to go between s and e, taking head, tail, and gaps into account.
connect :: (Renderable (Path R2) b, IsName n1, IsName n2) => n1 -> n2 -> Diagram b R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
Connect two diagrams with a straight arrow.
connect' :: (Renderable (Path R2) b, IsName n1, IsName n2) => ArrowOpts -> n1 -> n2 -> Diagram b R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
Connect two diagrams with an arbitrary arrow.
connectPerim :: (Renderable (Path R2) b, IsName n1, IsName n2) => n1 -> n2 -> Angle -> Angle -> Diagram b R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
Connect two diagrams at point on the perimeter of the diagrams, choosen by angle.
connectPerim' :: (Renderable (Path R2) b, IsName n1, IsName n2) => ArrowOpts -> n1 -> n2 -> Angle -> Angle -> Diagram b R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
connectOutside :: (Renderable (Path R2) b, IsName n1, IsName n2) => n1 -> n2 -> Diagram b R2 -> Diagram b R2 Source
Draw an arrow from diagram named "n1" to diagram named "n2". The arrow lies on the line between the centres of the diagrams, but is drawn so that it stops at the boundaries of the diagrams, using traces to find the intersection points.
connectOutside' :: (Renderable (Path R2) b, IsName n1, IsName n2) => ArrowOpts -> n1 -> n2 -> Diagram b R2 -> Diagram b R

Avoid Data Loss: How to use "Rollback".
Why Non-Destructive File Sorting is Important
Warning: This article is a temporary draft. It may contain incorrect screenshots or inaccurate word choices. It will be replaced by a correct article in the soonest time: this is a temporary measure.
Having a consistent method for organizing files is important for boosting productivity and keeping your PC organized. Proper organization of files not only helps you quickly locate them, but is also an essential component in achieving an efficient workflow. By making it a habit to sort your files, you can greatly improve your productivity and keep your PC clutter-free.
Why Non-Destructive File Sorting is Important
Why Non-Destructive File Sorting is Important
Efficiently managing files can be a challenging and time-consuming task, especially when you have a large number of files to control. However, with 4-Organizer Nano, file management has become an effortless process. This innovative app leverages AI to help you automatically sort files stored in your PC, streamlining non-destructive file sorting and management.
Aside from its impressive functionality, 4-Organizer Nano offers a visually stunning and unique design that features a user-friendly interface, ensuring that sorting files is remarkably easy for users, enhancing their overall experience.
4-Organizer Nano makes the laborious task of manual sorting files a thing of the past, as it delivers a more productive and modern workflow. Furthermore, the app is capable of processing a large volume of files, if necessary, even up to tens of thousands. If you're a busy person and need a dependable and hassle-free solution to your file management needs, then 4-Organizer Nano can be a one-stop solution for you.
Avoid Data Loss: Why Non-Destructive File Sorting is Important
Even with the advanced technology of 4-Organizer Nano, it's still possible to make undesired changes or mistakes when sorting files. Maybe you sorted the wrong files, or perhaps you just changed your mind about how you want to organize your files.
This is why non-destructive file sorting is extremely important when it comes to organizing files on your PC. It is a technique that preserves the original order and location of your files, even after you sort your files, and they are moved to differing locations. Non-destructive file sorting allows you to easily restore the previous structure of your files without risking data loss. It can also save disk space and improve performance by avoiding unnecessary file copying.
4-Organizer Nano offers fully non-destructive file sorting; it has a powerful "Rollback" feature that lets you undo any file sorting that you have done with the app. Rollback allows you to revert any sorting operation, whether it was a single file, a batch operation, or an entire directory, to ensure that users can easily recover any mistakenly sorted files — and it is one of the reasons why 4-Organizer Nano is an amazing app for file sorting. It gives you peace of mind and confidence that you can always undo any changes that you have made with 4-Organizer Nano, without losing any data, directory structure, or wasting any time. In this article, we will show you how to use the Rollback feature in more detail and give you some tips and tricks on how to make the most of it.
How to use the Rollback in 4-Organizer Nano
All files you sort in 4-Organizer Nano — in whatever mode they have been sorted — are automatically saved by the Rollback. It means that you can revert the sorting of files if it was completed in any operation mode of 4-Organizer Nano, such as Unique Scan, Custom Scan, or Auto Scan.
Open the main menu and click on "Rollback"
Open the main menu and click on "Rollback".
To revert the sorting of files via Rollback, open the main menu and press "Rollback". A new window will appear where you will be able to see the Snapshots — this is how 4-Organizer Nano captures all sorted files and saves their state. For the user's convenience, each Snapshot has a date and the total amount of sorted files. Click on any snapshot to proceed with further actions.
The "Rollback" window, which shows five "Snapshots"
The "Rollback" window, which shows five "Snapshots"
A new window will appear, where you can see a full list of sorted files — it is dynamically updated and represents the current state of sorted files. Each Snapshot may have three categories of sorted files, that are displayed adaptively:
 - Files eligible for undoing sorting
 - Files eligible for redoing sorting
 - Files not eligible for undoing or redoing sorting
Files eligible for undoing sorting
 This convenient table displays the "original" location of the file and its "target" path. Select any files via your preferred method to undo them.
 This convenient table displays the "original" location of the file and its "target" path. Select any files via your preferred method to undo them.
This category represents the group of files, in which you can undo the sorting of them. You can easily revert the sorting of these files and move them back to their original locations. You can undo any files sorted by 4-Organizer Nano, not only from any place from your PC, but even if they were sorted on removable devices, such as flash drives, external drives, or even your smartphone.
Press on the "Undo sorting of selected files" button to revert the sorting changes.
Press on the "Undo sorting of selected files" button to revert the sorting changes.
Files eligible for redoing sorting
4-Organizer Nano's Rollback is so powerful, that you can revert the undo operation itself. If you have reverted the sorting of your files accidentally, you can easily sort them again. Similarly to the previous category, 4-Organizer Nano also offers full support for removable devices.
Re-sort any selected files by pressing the "Re-sort selected files" button.
Re-sort any selected files by pressing the "Re-sort selected files" button.
Files not eligible for undoing or redoing sorting
The last category means that 4-Organizer Nano's Rollback can't restore or revert the sorting of these files. Rollback may not offer the option to restore the file only if it can't be found at the previously saved path, meaning that something in the filename or directory name has been changed, or the file was moved manually. This can happen when:
 - You have renamed a file or its original/target folder.
 - You have deleted a file or its original/target folder.
 - When the removable device is not accessible anymore or its name was changed.
To conclude, files may not be eligible for undoing or redoing sorting only if their paths are not valid anymore. In most cases, you can easily fix this issue by checking if the original or target folders of the file exist, and have the same name as at the movement of sorting.
How to undo the file sorting by using 4-Organizer Nano's Rollback
If you wish to undo the sorting of files, simply check them: you can quickly select the desired files by clicking on its checkbox, by using the "select all" option, or by holding down the Shift key and clicking on two items to select everything in between them.
Files selected with the Shift key.
Files selected with the Shift key.
After selecting the files for undo, simply press the "Undo sorting" button to begin the rollback process. After the process is completed, the Snapshot window will automatically update its contents to display the newest information. All selected files will be moved back to their original locations, offering you a powerful and easy, non-destructive sorting experience.
How to redo the sorting of the files in Rollback
Select the files whose sorting you wish to redo. All selection methods described previously can be used to quickly select the necessary files.
Press the "Redo sorting" button. A new screen will appear, whose interface is actually a Custom Scan configuration window — an amazing and powerful feature of 4-Organizer Nano that makes it an outstanding tool to help you quickly organize your files. You may be interested in learning more about the power and benefits of using Custom Scan by reading this short guide.
Select the Custom Scan operation mode to redo the sorting.
Select the Custom Scan operation mode to redo the sorting.
After selecting the sorting mode you wish to use, 4-Organizer Nano will begin the redo process, and shortly, it will show another window with the results of the sorting.
How to fix "Unavailable for undo or redo" in 4-Organizer Nano's Rollback
A 'Rollback unavailable' window with a table
A 'Rollback unavailable' window with a table
If Rollback has placed certain files in the "not eligible for undoing or redoing sorting" category, you can still fix it, simply follow the steps below:
 1. In the Snapshot window, scroll down and examine the files that are not eligible for undo.
 2. You will see two paths — the original location of the file, and its target sorting path.
 3. First, make sure that both of these directories exist: try opening the Explorer to make sure both original and target folders exist. If they do not, simply create them by using your favorite method of creating new folders.
 4. If you wish to undo the sorting of the file, make sure the "target" path has the file you wish to roll back. Make sure the name of that file is correct.
 5. If you wish to redo

Inhabitat wrote about a new design concept for a green roof aviary by Ballistic Architecture Machine (BAM). BAM's green roof would support a "functioning biotope for migrating birds." According to Inhabitat, BAM wants to implement their concept aviary along the Atlantic Coast Flyway, which is overlooked by the Goldman Sachs Headquarters in Lower Manhattan. "It is intended to be a rest area for birds and insects traveling along the Atlantic Coast Flyway. The aviary spans 70,000 square feet of roof and vents, into a park that is truly intended for just twelve species of birds."
Inhabitat says the design was created with the assistance of ornithologists from Harvard and Cornell Universities. The bird-attracting green roof would be attached to a twelve story building, and filled with soil, water, gravel and other materials designed for birds. Webcams would be placed in the structure to allow researchers to monitor its usage. Read the article and an earlier post on biodiverse buildings.
Separately, in a project that is underway in Berkeley, California, goats have been introduced in the Oakland and Berkeley hills to fight forest fires. According to Tom Klatt, the former manager of the Office of Emergency Preparedness at UC Berkeley, and author of UC Berkeley's 2007 Fire Mitigation Program Annual Report, "the goat clearance scheme is one of the key reasons the Bay Area hasn't had a recurrence of a catastrophic fire in decades." However, E-magazine notes that goats can also have a negative environmental impact, if left unmanaged. "These agile animals have been known to reduce or eliminate entire populations of native plants and facilitate soil erosion and the establishment of invasive plants. According to Professor Josh Donlan, the director of Advanced Conservation Strategies at Cornell University, 'Non-native herbivores, like feral goats, are responsible for widespread ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss on islands around the world.'"

fetos y neonatos gravemente enfermos. Material y métodos. Se aplicó un cuestionario anónimo a médicos, trabajadoras sociales y enfermeras perinatales. Las diferencias se evaluaron con las pruebas chi cuadrada y t de Student. Resultados. Al tratar fetos y neonatos gravemente enfermos, 82 y 93% de los participantes optaron, respectivamente, por atención paliativa. El 18% consideró el feticidio como alternativa. Quienes optaron por atención paliativa, lo hicieron para disminuir el sufrimiento, mientras que los que eligieron cuidados intensivos lo hicieron para proteger la vida o la sacralidad de la vida. Nuestro estudio mostró un pobre conocimiento de las leyes que regulan estas decisiones. Conclusiones. Aun cuando no existe un consenso sobre las decisiones que deben tomarse con fetos o neonatos gravemente enfermos, la mayoría consideró como primera opción los cuidados paliativos, aunque el feticidio y la muerte neonatal inducida no se descartaron.

ABSTRACT
Termination of a pregnancy in second and third trimesters involving a dead foetus or one with a lethal anomaly is a challenge for health-care professionals in any setting. In addition to the theoretical concern of the dead foetus inutero causing disseminated intravascular coagulation, continuation of such a pregnancy may not be psychologically and socially acceptable to many women, and both the woman and the caretaker are keen to terminate the pregnancy, preferably without an incision on the uterus. Mid-trimester termination of pregnancy is one of the most controversial areas of gynaecological practice. It has moral, emotional, social and technical issues. There is continuous need for termination of pregnancy in second trimester, more recently due to increase in the use of antenatal diagnostic procedures. Nowadays, majority of mid-trimester abortions are carried out medically. The development of prostaglandin analogues has been a major breakthrough in abortion technology. Natural prostaglandins such as PGE1, PGF2a, PGE2, PG analogues like 15-methyl PGF2a have been used by various routes such as intravenous, intramuscular, intra/extra amniotic, oral and vaginal. Ethacridine lactate works by producing prostaglandin from deciduas, whereas misoprostol being synthetic analogue of misoprostol is supposed to act directly. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the extra-amniotic instillation of ethacridine with vaginal misoprostol in comparison to extra-amniotic instillation of ethacridine lactate with oxytocin IV infusion in terminations of second and third trimester pregnanciesin a tertiary referral hospital catering for both rural and urban population. This study concludes that ethacridine lactate with misoprostol is as efficacious as ethacridineplus oxytocinin termination of second and third trimesters anamolus/IUD foetuses. Though there is no significant difference in efficacy between the two. The ethacridineplus misoprostol is slightly effective in reducing the I-A interval. The efficacy of ethacridine plus misoprostol is slightly higher in early second trimester and ethacridine plus oxytocin is effective in the third trimester.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Prenatal tongue development may affect oral-craniofacial structures, but this muscular organ has rarely been investigated. METHODS: In order to document the physiology of prenatal tongue growth, we histologically examined the facial and cranial base structures of 56 embryos and 106 fetuses. RESULTS: In Streeter's stages 13-14 (fertilization age [FA], 28 to 32 days), the tongue protruded into the stomodeal cavity from the retrohyoid space to the cartilaginous mesenchyme of the primitive cranial base, and in Streeter's stage 15 (FA, 33 to 36 days), the tongue rapidly swelled and compressed the cranial base to initiate spheno-occipital synchondrosis and continued to swell laterally to occupy most of the stomodeal cavity in Streeter's stage 16-17 (FA, 37 to 43 days). In Streeter's stage 18-20 (FA, 44 to 51 days), the tongue was vertically positioned and filled the posterior nasopharyngeal space. As the growth of the mandible and maxilla advanced, the tongue was pulled down and protruded anteriorly to form the linguomandibular complex. Angulation between the anterior cranial base (ACB) and the posterior cranial base (PCB) was formed by the emerging tongue at FA 4 weeks and became constant at approximately 124degrees-126degrees from FA 6 weeks until birth, which was consistent with angulations measured on adult cephalograms. CONCLUSIONS: The early clockwise growth of the ACB to the maxillary plane became harmonious with the counter-clockwise growth of the PCB to the tongue axis during the early prenatal period. These observations suggest that human embryonic tongue growth affects ACB and PCB angulation, stimulates maxillary growth, and induces mandibular movement to achieve the essential functions of oral and maxillofacial structures.

ABSTRACT
Introdução: O músculo latíssimo do dorso (MLD) é largo, triangular e realiza extensão, adução e rotação medial do braço. É vascularizado pelos vasos toracodorsais e ramos perfurantes das artérias intercostais posteriores e lombares, configurando retalho tipo V de Mathes e Nahai, de grande aplicabilidade em cirurgia plástica. O objetivo é analisar a morfometria e a vascularização do MLD em fetos humanos. Método: Dissecou-se a região axilar e o MLD de oito fetos humanos formolizados (três do sexo feminino e cinco do sexo masculino), entre 20 e 32 semanas gestacionais, em decúbito dorsal e abdução completa do braço. Mensuraram-se os comprimentos dos vasos subescapulares e toracodorsais, e foi realizada a morfometria do músculo. Resultados: Em todos os fetos, os vasos toracodorsais conferiram a vascularização primária do MLD. Em 25%, a veia subescapular era tributária direta da veia axilar; 25% dos casos apresentaram veia circunflexa da escápula dupla. O ramo para o músculo serrátil anterior foi único em todos os casos. Em 50% dos casos, o ramo angular da artéria toracodorsal foi visualizado e, em 25% deles, era proveniente do ramo para o músculo serrátil anterior. A distância entre a inserção do músculo e a entrada do pedículo neurovascular variou entre 1,1 e 1,9 cm em fetos de 21 e 26 semanas, respectivamente. Todos os fetos apresentaram a margem anterior do músculo na linha axilar média. Conclusão: A morfometria constante e a reduzida variação anatômica do pedículo vascular encontradas possibilitam a realização de pesquisas envolvendo o us

Because reduced uranium species have a much smaller solubility than oxidized uranium species and because of the strong association of organic matter (a powerful reductant) with many uranium ores, reduction has long been considered to be the precipitation mechanism for many types of uranium deposits. Organic matter may also be involved in the alterations in and around tabular uranium deposits, including dolomite precipitation, formation of silicified layers, iron-titanium oxide destruction, dissolution of quartz grains, and precipitation of clay minerals. The diagenetic processes that produced these alterations also consumed organic matter. Consequently, those tabular deposits that underwent the more advanced stages of diagenesis, including methanogenesis and organic acid generation, display the greatest range of alterations and contain the smallest amount of organic matter. Because of certain similarities between tabular uranium deposits and Precambrian unconformity-related deposits, some of the same processes might have been involved in the genesis of Precambrian unconformity-related deposits. Hydrologic studies place important constraints on genetic models of various types of uranium deposits. In roll-front deposits, oxidized waters carried uranium to reductants (organic matter and pyrite derived from sulfate reduction by organic matter). After these reductants were oxidized at any point in the host sandstone, uranium minerals were reoxidized and transported further down the flow path to react with additional reductants. In this manner, the uranium ore migrated through the sandstone at a rate slower than the mineralizing ground water. In the case of tabular uranium deposits, the recharge of surface water into the ground water during flooding of lakes carried soluble humic material to the water table or to an interface where humate precipitated in tabular layers. These humate layers then established the chemical conditions for mineralization and related alterations. In the case of Precambrian unconformity-related deposits, free thermal convection in the thick sandstones overlying the basement rocks carried uranium to concentrations of organic matter in the basement rocks.

Comparison of the Limberg flap and bilateral gluteus maximus advancing flap following oblique excision for the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease
MetadataShow full item record
This study was performed to compare the use of a bilateral gluteus maximus advancing flap (BGMAF) following oblique incision, which was recently described for the surgical treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus (SPS) disease, with the widely used Limberg flap (LF) technique following a rhomboid incision. A total of 105 patients treated for SPS were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were evaluated in terms of their age, body mass index, symptoms, length of the operation, complications, postoperative hospital stay, time to return to work, postoperative cosmetic satisfaction and recurrence rate. Fifty-six of the patients were treated with BGMAF, while 49 were treated with LF. The mean follow-up was 20.5 +/- A 5.4 months. The mean length of the operation, hospital stay and time to return to work were shorter, while the cosmetic satisfaction score was higher in the BGMAF group compared to the LF group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups for the other criteria. The BGMAF appears to be superior to the LF in terms of the length of the operation, time to return to work and degree of cosmetic satisfaction. It is preferable for sinuses not to require wide excision, while the LF is more appropriate for sinuses with a large post-excision defect.

talk: talk to another user
NAME
talk - talk to another user
SYNOPSIS
talk address [terminal]
DESCRIPTION
The talk utility is a two-way, screen-oriented communication program. When first invoked, talk shall send a message similar to: Message from <unspecified string> talk: connection requested by your_addresstalk: respond with: talk your_address to the specified address. At this point, the recipient of the message can reply by typing: talk your_address Once communication is established, the two parties can type simultaneously, with their output displayed in separate regions of the screen. Characters shall be processed as follows: * Typing the alert character shall alert the recipient's terminal. * Typing <control>-L shall cause the sender's screen regions to be refreshed. * Typing the erase and kill characters shall affect the sender's terminal in the manner described by the termios interface in the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 11, General Terminal Interface. * Typing the interrupt or end-of-file characters shall terminate the local talk utility. Once the talk session has been terminated on one side, the other side of the talk session shall be notified that the talk session has been terminated and shall be able to do nothing except exit. * Typing characters from LC_CTYPE classifications print or space shall cause those characters to be sent to the recipient's terminal. * When and only when the stty iexten local mode is enabled, the existence and processing of additional special control characters and multi-byte or single-byte functions shall be implementation- defined. * Typing other non-printable characters shall cause implementation- defined sequences of printable characters to be sent to the recipient's terminal. Permission to be a recipient of a talk message can be denied or granted by use of the mesg utility. However, a user's privilege may further constrain the domain of accessibility of other users' terminals. The talk utility shall fail when the user lacks the appropriate privileges to perform the requested action. Certain block-mode terminals do not have all the capabilities necessary to support the simultaneous exchange of messages required for talk. When this type of exchange cannot be supported on such terminals, the implementation may support an exchange with reduced levels of simultaneous interaction or it may report an error describing the terminal-related deficiency.
OPTIONS
None.
OPERANDS
The following operands shall be supported: address The recipient of the talk session. One form of address is the <user name>, as returned by the who utility. Other address formats and how they are handled are unspecified. terminal If the recipient is logged in more than once, the terminal argument can be used to indicate the appropriate terminal name. If terminal is not specified, the talk message shall be displayed on one or more accessible terminals in use by the recipient. The format of terminal shall be the same as that returned by the who utility.
STDIN
Characters read from standard input shall be copied to the recipient's terminal in an unspecified manner. If standard input is not a terminal, talk shall write a diagnostic message and exit with a non-zero status.
INPUT FILES
None.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of talk: LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the values of locale categories.) LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables. LC_CTYPE Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments and input files). If the recipient's locale does not use an LC_CTYPE equivalent to the sender's, the results are undefined. LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and informative messages written to standard output. NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES . TERM Determine the name of the invoker's terminal type. If this variable is unset or null, an unspecified default terminal type shall be used.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
When the talk utility receives a SIGINT signal, the utility shall terminate and exit with a zero status. It shall take the standard action for all other signals.
STDOUT
If standard output is a terminal, characters copied from the recipient's standard input may be written to standard output. Standard output also may be used for diagnostic messages. If standard output is not a terminal, talk shall exit with a non-zero status.
STDERR
None.
OUTPUT FILES
None.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values shall be returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred or talk was invoked on a terminal incapable of supporting it.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default. The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
Because the handling of non-printable, non- <space>s is tied to the stty description of iexten, implementation extensions within the terminal driver can be accessed. For example, some implementations provide line editing functions with certain control character sequences.
EXAMPLES
None.
RATIONALE
The write utility was included in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 since it can be implemented on all terminal types. The talk utility, which cannot be implemented on certain terminals, was considered to be a "better" communications interface. Both of these programs are in widespread use on historical implementations. Therefore, both utilities have been specified. All references to networking abilities (talking to a user on another system) were removed as being outside the scope of this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. Historical BSD and System V versions of talk terminate both of the conversations when either user breaks out of the session. This can lead to adverse consequences if a user unwittingly continues to enter text that is interpreted by the shell when the other terminates the session. Therefore, the version of talk specified by this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 requires both users to terminate their end of the session explicitly. Only messages sent to the terminal of the invoking user can be internationalized in any way: * The original "Message from <unspecified string> ..." message sent to the terminal of the recipient cannot be internationalized because the environment of the recipient is as yet inaccessible to the talk utility. The environment of the invoking party is irrelevant. * Subsequent communication between the two parties cannot be internationalized because the two parties may specify different languages in their environment (and non-portable characters cannot be mapped from one language to another). * Neither party can be required to communicate in a language other than C and/or the one specified by their environment because unavailable terminal hardware support (for example, fonts) may be required. The text in the STDOUT section reflects the usage of the verb "display" in this section; some talk implementations actually use standard output to write to the terminal, but this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 does not require that to be the case. The format of the terminal name is unspecified, but the descriptions of ps, talk, who, and write require that they all use or accept the same format. The handling of non-printable characters is partially implementation- defined because the details of mapping them to printable sequences is not needed by the user. Historical implementations, for security reasons, disallow the transmission of non-printable characters that may send commands to the other terminal.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.

near the base of the tree. Slowly turn the compass until the needle is again pointing in the same direction as the N on the compass.
- Place the fourth stick at the base of the tree so that it is perpendicular to the compass needle and pointing east from the base of the tree. This will be your east stick. If desired, use another stick to scratch out an "E" beside the east stick to help you remember its direction.
Figure 6. This photo shows how to make the east stick perpendicular to the compass needle.
- You will now have four sticks pointing out from the base of the tree in each of the four directions, as shown below.
Figure 7. This photo shows a tree with the four directions marked around its base.
Go to each stick and take a photograph of the base of the tree, using the following instructions:
- Kneel down so that your camera is parallel to the ground as you take the photograph (but it doesn't need to be on the ground).
- Use the stick as a guide for each photograph. As you look through the viewfinder, make sure the stick will be in the bottom center of each photo, as shown below.
- Try to stay the same distance away from the tree for each photograph. You can use the measuring tape to help you stay approximately the same distance away.
- You may want to take a couple of photos just in case your first photo doesn't work out.
- Write down in your lab notebook which stick you photographed first, second, third, and fourth, so that when you take the photos home and print them out, you will know in which direction you were looking.
Figure 8. This photo shows two example photographs taken of a tree from different directions.
- Repeat steps 2–11 for two other trees.
Analyzing Your Photos
- Print out your photos onto graph paper.
- If desired, shade in the moss with one colored pencil and shade in the bark with a different colored pencil to make it easier to distinguish the two on the graph paper.
- Count up the approximate number of squares that are covered by moss. For partial squares, estimate how much of the square is covered by moss, for example, if it looks like one-fourth of the square is covered, add 0.25; if it looks like half of the square is covered, add 0.5; if it looks like three-fourths of the square is covered, add 0.75. For each tree, enter your counts in a data table, like the one below:
Tree 1 Square Counts Data Table
|Direction||Number of moss-covered squares||Total number of tree base squares. (Count up all the squares in the tree base, whether they are covered by moss or just bark.)||Percentage of the tree base covered by moss = (Number of moss-covered squares divided by the total number of tree base squares) x 100|
- Count up the total number of tree base squares (any square that falls within the tree base, whether it is covered by moss or just bark), and enter your count in the data table.
- Calculate the percentage of the tree trunk base that is covered by moss for each direction by dividing the number of moss-covered squares by the total number of tree base squares and multiplying by 100.
- Combine your three data tables into one by entering the last column of each table into a new data table, like the one below.
Percentage of the Tree Bases Covered by Moss Data Table
- For each direction, calculate the average percentage of the trees that were covered by moss and enter your calculations in the data table.
- Make a bar chart showing the four directions on the x-axis and the average percentage of the tree bases that were covered by moss on the y-axis. You can make the bar chart by hand or use a website like Create a Graph to make the graph on the computer and print it.
- In which direction did you observe the most moss growth? In which direction did you observe the least? Do you think moss growth is useful as an indicator of cardinal direction?
If you like this project, you might enjoy exploring these related careers:
- Try using mushroom growth around trees, instead of moss. Be careful not to touch the mushrooms, as they could be poisonous.

Rookie - 10 Points (5 3 38 / leipzig)
Thesaurus - Poem by gershon hepner
Some dinosaurs sang in a chorus:
"Historians will surely ignore us
unless we use words
to fly, just like birds."
So the chorus became a thesaurus.
Inspired entirely by my six-year old granddaughter Eve, Ada's older sister (about 5 minutes older) who called me up this afternoon to tell me she had a joke to tell me. Actually it was a riddle, but she called it a joke.
"Grandpa, what do you call a dinosaur which has a lot of books? "
"I don't know, Eve."
"A thesaurus, "
I remember when Abigail and Absalom were talking about dinosaurs at about the same age tender age people would ask how: "How on earth do they know about dinosaurs? "
What wonders will the generation after Eve perform?
